It's after 10. Snow was supposed to arrive at 7.
Where is it?
As Perkins says, Portland. And Seattle.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Portland?
Sadly, yes.

I can hear something precipitating - so it looks like we got the freezing rain instead.

It feels like it's warmed up here.
Anyway I'm hanging around waiting for my BIL to let me know my parents are picked up safely from the airport. Except I didn't realize he was going to do it: he's mildly narcoleptic and their flight was delayed, so now I'm a bit nervous.
I'm sure they're fine. ::drums fingers::

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
It was sleeting here about an hour ago. Now it's snowing. So, it's a-comin'!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Snow has reached the lakeshore. Woohoo.
I never realized the importance of shrimp to holiday parties. I don't think I ever experienced a holiday shrimp plate before 3 or 4 years ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just set up my sister's laptop for her. Booked Supershuttle. So ready to go home, and it's still a week.

Unsurprisingly, it turns out that heart-healthy festive gatherings are not only not so festive, they kind of blow. No shrimp,
OK, I thought shrimp WAS heart healthy. I thought the idea that it was bad is obsolete. High Cholesterol and low fat and thus overall lowers rather than raises cholesterol. Is that in turn now obsolete?

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
Just finished wrapping gifts for my family. I got my niece a stuffed pig that's likely almost as big as she is, and completely round and so very soft, plus Madeline and a Madeline doll (which she's too little for, still), a half dozen Boynton board books and a Pookie doll. My nephew got nine books including the new pigeon book and a stuffed pigeon that yells "LET ME DRIVE THE BUS."
One of the books is a pop-up book about poop. There is pop-up poop. It should go smashingly well. I got my parents 5 tickets to an amusement park so they can take the whole family this summer, which they love to do.
Drop off at Fed Ex, and hope 2nd day shipping gets it all there by Tuesday.

Those sound like adorable presents, KR!
There has got to be a classy way to say he was Deep Throat but it's nearly midnight and everything sounds skeevy.
