ehaggrd asked: HEY! How've you been? I feel like you've been neglecting tumblr, much more interesting things must be going down IRL.

mypupilsarehuge-deactivated2010 asked: and also good your moms is ok.
carlsagan asked: I'm sorry to hear about your mother and I hope she makes a speedy recovery.
lovelylulu asked: Hey baby girl, I hope that everything is okay with your mom. Has this happened before? Wouldn't work be smart enough to obviously not use the same chemicals or tell her what days they were waxing the floor. I'm glad she made it alive. How are you holding up? Things like that can be pretty traumatic for the other people involved, I hope you're doing okay.

Going to shower and go back up to the hospital. Going to be there for a few...

american-apologies:
For the past few decades, Wal-Mart has been ruining the American landscape with their blandly designed stores and uneasy corporate glare. It is one of the largest corporations in the world, and its influence over the global economy is truly terrifying. What the discounted items and major bargains hide is a system which seeks to homogenize locales while...
