OKay, browser has been open for yonks & I'm sure the conversation has past me by but oh well.

Burrell, you are SO not past the age of getting one.

Maybe *you* aren't, but I think I am. Getting one at this age would just feel like I was aspiring to claim some kind of misspent youth that, apart from some minor drug use, I never really had.

Like for example, why was my reply delayed? I had to quickly come up with an activity for the kids so we've been making construction paper collages.

Allyson, very sorry to hear about your grandfather.

No tattoos here, and no plans to get one. Just not my thing...

Ah shit, sweetie. My condolences.

Allyson, I'm thinking of you.

I get design checks from one of those check by mail or something similar, they are always cheaper than the bank checks I've seen. Mine are a variety of stripe and polka-dot and flower designs.

No tattoos, glad I didn't one when I was younger as I don't do well with permenant style things.

Allyson, my best to you and your family through this.

To show how few checks I use, the address on my current checks is the first apartment I moved into in NYC. I moved out of that apartment five years ago. Now I think there was some mix-up and I ended up with a double order, or I reordered right before moving, or something, but still.

Allyson, I am so very sorry. I'm glad that you are able to be with your family. I will be holding you in my thoughts.

((((Allyson and family))))

Also, Daisy Jane, what did you think of the situation in NOLA? Is recovery happening?
