And so I think that the attitude here is very much one of this truce is tenuous.

We're living day by day.

We're waiting to see if tomorrow, you know, we have to return to kind of a pre-April 16th

reality where we're checking our shoulders, we're deciding which streets to go down.

You know, those of us who are lucky enough to maybe have relatives or friends in other parts of the country that we feel we can go to to be a bit safer are, you know, waiting to do that again.

Maybe initially there was something of an exhale kind of, OK, we know that we're going to be OK for or we hope we'll be OK for at least a few days.

But as the days go on and as there's been no conclusion to this issue, and of course, we know that these are connected to the Iran-U.S.

discussions, which are in a whole other place themselves.

I think everyone's just kind of waiting to see what develops.

And there is this sort of bated breath.

And of course, the reality, I mean, even if the ceasefire holds for a bit, like the reality is that the situation on the ground has changed, whether it's how much land they've taken.

There's like a new yellow line in Lebanon, the same way that they've constricted Gaza and also the damage that's been left behind, not just of the infrastructure, but of the herbicides that they're spraying and the environmental destruction.

Yeah, my pleasure.

Thank you so much, Donna.

My mother-in-law spent years sabotaging our relationship until karma made her pay for it.

How bad did it get?

Well, it got bad enough that her son-in-law had to eventually arrest her himself.

She moved in for two weeks, lasted for five.

She left nail clippings in the bathtub, candy stuck to the furniture.

And then she pressed her ear against the bedroom door and burst in screaming.
