Amy in Delurking:
It's always like coming home to that rambling but comfortable house where everyone is usually cozily tucked into random nooks and corners, talking, but gets together in the big ballroom once in a while to get crazy and tackle-hug. I miss it.

My son needs a pencil pouch audit day. Also possibly an ass-with-both-hands audit day.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I do actually believe it will be better out on the other side, but DAMN. I really thought it was, like, an archery class at Camp Butterworth, not the goddamn Hunger Games.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hey, it's a Monday.... So I had to come up with a diplomatic way to say "Dear author, 'When Cannabis Strikes the Retina' [that was seriously the title] is in no way a scientific title that reflects the content of the article and if I left the title as is, senior management would have come down on me like a ton of bricks and by the way, you are not as clever as you think."
Zenkitty
WHEN CANNABIS ATTACKS, tonight on FOX! Are YOUR retinas safe??
Steph L.
Right? How on earth they thought that title was going to be okay is beyond me. (They're French, so maybe they thought everything in the US was like reality TV.)

Kinda sounds like a weird translation of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.

Dude, have you ever noticed what cannabis does to your retinas? I mean, like, really noticed...
Steph L.
I'm looking at my retinas from inside my skull...

BD cake (also other dessert because his family is HUGE and loves dessert); snacky food like chips/dip, cheese/crackers, a veggie tray; (lots of) beer/wine but also soda and bottled water and whatever the great-niecephews drink. And we'll just order a ton of pizzas (and salads in case anyone wants to boost their veggie intake).
(I just emailed my mom about it and said "You should come, because I can guarantee with Tim's family, something will be lit on fire. How can you pass that up?")
Am I forgetting anything?

From Natter:
Toddson: A useful tip - in one week, if someone you don't know well asks you what you think of the election results, a safe response is, "I'm so glad it's over."
tommyrot: OK, that's probably better than the response I was thinking of: "I welcome the cleansing fire that will purge this country of its madness."
