It will now be over 20% of my income. I cannot pay this. I just checked my email, the monthly payment for gas and electricity is rising by 84%.

I didn't know him well but am aware of how much he meant to that community. So sorry for all the loss. It's the anniversary of my uncle's death a few years ago, a brilliant man who influenced me greatly. I’m sorry I missed the memorial, had my own, much minor, emotional escapade to deal with.

Imagine the most stunning and impactful depressing prose, now multiply it by a gazillion- that is what we are talking about but also with plenty of amazingly awesome alliteration. Truly inspired, a tour de force. A harsh and grating riff on ER's 'unraveling' thread. Seriously, you missed a hell of a good rant... Would have sent us all into a spiral of depression, a real RL classic (lighter on the usual invective, heavier on the hopelessness), really the sort of thing everyone really likes to read on a Sunday morning. But the time and mood has passed... You 'spoiled' it... Maybe next week... :) Take care, Pebble... I can't promise it always gets better but it does get more interesting.
