Thanks for a great laugh, and especially after a particularly horrendous day @anonymous-high-tech-company … in which I was devoured by colleagues and superiors alike!

And to see how your final partings are handled much more realistically than mine, where (in my world) thoughts of what should probably be said, are never said. To know a final parting is near, and not say anything when they arrive is always safest, and regret always follows when they are gone for not saying anything. Thank you for your words as you have definitely put those thoughts (or lack of) to shame, and future “good-bye’s” will (should) have much more meaning. Who knows when a simple “see you later” will turn into a final goodbye???

Thanks Wench!

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

Please do me a favor. Don’t be the Baroness.

Here’s a hug {{{}}}.
