Update for Everyone VI: What Is and What Should Never Be

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

My paternal grandmother, who is my last living grandparent, went to the doctor, and they discovered a fast-growing, potentially cancerous growth in one of her lungs. Her overall well-being has gone downhill; she's lost weight, she barely eats, has trouble breathing and even her memory is starting to fade. Your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Prayers sent.

I'm so sorry, you and your family are in my thoughts

I'm sorry to hear that, and really hope she gets better.

Lost 7-8 pounds in the last week. Now I’m 180.1 lb, 5’ 11”. My doctor guessed I would weigh 150 since last year I weighed about 140 and “didn’t look any bigger to him.”

Watched the Israel Day Parade in NY today. God bless Israel!

My daughter turned one recently. Most of the posters I argue with are several years younger than me. I feel old.

Age is inevitable. Comfort and family are not.

My new favorite quote from my mother is, “AR-15s aren’t assault rifles because that’s a made up term by people who know nothing about guns.”

I corrected her by saying that an assault rifle is a “selective-fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine.” For some reason, she didn’t appreciate the irony in “knowing nothing about guns.”

There's no universal definition of 'assault rifles'. So your mom is partly correct, partly incorrect.

I'm 5' 11" too and weight 170, tell me is that fat? I feel like a fatass constantly and used to make myself vomit a bunch but no one will admit I'm fat.

Not to be an attention whore or anything, but uh, the rampant homophobia of my family is really starting to weigh on me. My mental health is really screwed. While I won't seek out death, if it came looking for me I doubt I would resist very hard. Because, or despite all this, I think I need a little break from the hectic world of American politics. Basically, I'll be taking a bit of a break from Atlas.

All the best to you, you’re a great guy and I only want to see the best for you.

I joined the big 6-0 club today, but in a fairly laid back fashion. I mowed the lawn, answered email, and enjoyed the evening with my church choir as they sang and served cake. I got just a couple of presents, but they were pretty cool. My kids got me a lightweight, heavy-duty camera tripod for my travels. My wife got me a bottle of premiere cru grande champagne Pierre Ferrand cognac (delicious and oh so smooth).

But the unintentional surprise birthday gift came during my call from mom. As we talked about my childhood she mentioned the train trip we took from Dallas to Chicago in 1962. After the call I found an old timetable online and sure enough there were 17 counties I hadn't counted as having traveled through. Seeing as I have a goal to reach 2000 counties this year, my task just got much easier.

The Tel Aviv pride parade is tomorrow and I'm going for the first time It's gonna be fun, and I'll meet the new guy for the first time too.

I swear, I thought pride month was May, not June. I wasted all my seasonal cheer.
