Cool. Lemme keep looking.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
There is an IBM Selectric in my new space at work. I haven't tried it yet.
I do have fond memories of the Selectric II in high school typing class. We'd often loosen the font ball just enough that when the next person turned the typewriter on the ball would fly across the room.
In college I had a Smith-Corona memory typewriter. It was pretty cool until the main logic module died the night before a paper was due.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We had a rickety Smith Corona when I was young. I don't think anyone used it but us kids--we recently found a newspaper I'd printed up at about age 9 using ambitiously dry language to describe household goings on.
I've never had a problem with printing envelopes in printers, and during the phase where I had considerably more energy I'd design full graphics for the whole front side. My sister has one I sent to her framed on her bedroom wall.
NSM these days. But I am making sure I keep my handwriting warmed up, since I do agree that a well-done handwritten envelope is the most inviting in the pile.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Okay. So if I made 52 chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies, and I gave 30 to Tim, and 12 to my neighbors, how many can I stuff into my face right now?

The status is NOT quo.
Wait...wait..I know this one!
42?
No?
I knew there was a reason I decided to teach English.

I like Maria's last one.
Most of the rest I found were things like this [link] which isn't right.
Then I got bored, and stopped looking.

So do I, Lee, so do I.
I know I've seen lots of men with either scruff or a beard in formal wear. Google makes me think otherwise. I could always link you to a pic of my DH on our wedding day: [link] or [link]

Oh, lovely pictures, Maria! Especially the wedding ones.
It's the sort of image search where even finding the wrong answers can be pleasant. I'm certainly enjoying myself.
But! Bedtime for ita. Head is heavy.
