Definitely too late, Addy!

Wine sounds nice. But I'm fighting some little bugger right now, so I shan't indulge. Have a glass for me!

Good morning peeps! *hugs and kisses to Patti*

Moony, so sorry to hear your sad news. I am glad the kid survived, although I am sure he will never get over this. I pray it gets easier for him in time.

Good morning!

Yes, I'm willing to bet that the emotional wounds will outlast the physical ones. According to a family friend, he's not as badly injured as initially reported - broken ankle, concussion, cuts, etc. But he had to spend a cold, rainy night in the broken fuselage of the plane, wedged in between his dead father and the Senator. I'm just amazed that anyone survived the crash.

holy crap, moony! **hugs**

Morning.

Moony, it is amazing he survived. I believe in the whole "when it's your time"

How is Mr. Moony holding up, Moony?

And Shira: Shan't? Really?

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/11/10 at 9:20am

I bet Shira says "shat" too

Isn't that the past plu-perfect?

Mr. Moony is shook up, but since we lost a close friend a few weeks ago, he's just been kind of funky all summer. He says that local news crews are camped out on campus this morning.

Moony, perhaps Mr. Moony needs a trip to NYC.

[D2]

Posted: 8/11/10 at 9:30am

Give him my best, Moony. To lose two friends so close together, and one so publicly, must be devastating.

Hey Kids!

I'm so sorry, Moony!

I'm just popping in briefly. I'm taking a field trip up to the Orlando area today with my mom to pick up my grandmother. Mom was going to drive by herself, but my dad and brother vetoed that idea.

Safe travels to Orlando, Shamey! Enjoy the family time.

Moony, it's just too tragic to comprehend: having to spend a cold night wedged into a plane next to two people you love dearly who were killed...

Life is so precious.

Just another reminder to hold this moment fast, and live and love as hard as you know how...

LS, give Gram a hug and kiss from me...tell her that the queers still love her!

[shira467]

Posted: 8/11/10 at 12:00pm

I was feeling...proper? Or, as Moony stated "perfect".

Good morning all! Should be a lovely day.

My heart goes out to this child. Thank goodness he survived, but the emotional pain is devastating.

Moony was talking about grammar, not you, Shira dear.

"The pluperfect tense (from Latin plus quam perfectum more than perfect), also called past perfect in English, is a tense with a perfect aspect that exists in most Indo-European languages, used to refer to an event that has been completed before another past action.

In the sentence "A man who for years had thought he had reached the absolute limit of all possible suffering now found that suffering had no limits, and that he could suffer still more, and more intensely." (from Victor Frankls' Man's Search for Meaning), "had thought" and "had reached" are examples of the pluperfect tense. It refers to an event (a man thinks he is reaching his limit), which takes place before another event (the man realizes that he has no limit). Because that second, subsequent event is itself a past event and the past tense is used to refer to it ("a man...now found"), the pluperfect is needed to make it clear that the first event (reaching the limit) has taken place even earlier in the past."

So see, the only word that really applies to you directly would be "tense."

Deet, you put a "t" where a "d" should be.

But she makes me tense, Boobs. And she's not dense, not by a long shot. That's why she makes me tense.

And yes, Shira, I know you're in the room.

[D2]

Posted: 8/11/10 at 12:49pm

I keep reading about that ad, but it's not showing up on my screen. Guess I'm lucky!

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/11/10 at 12:57pm

Believe me..you're very lucky Deet! I hate when they have horrible ads that just won't go away!

Posted: 8/11/10 at 12:57pm

What? Oh yes, I'm here.

Boobs! I'm almost insulted.

Sorry for making you tense, Deet. Well, maybe not all that sorry.

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/11/10 at 1:01pm

Like anyone could insult you Shi-shi

[D2]

Posted: 8/11/10 at 1:02pm

You're not sorry at all, Shira. You LOVE it.

Egg roll. Mmmmm.

*looks at salad. looks at stomach.*

Sigh.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Moony. Can't imagine what that poor kid went through.
