Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Maria, I am so glad that you are okay. I hope you got to rest a lot today.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Hi omnis!

I'm supposed to go out to dinner with family on Saturday but we may put that off if Mom still has a cold. Today I'm hanging around playing games all day. Tomorrow I'm going to see The Barrelhousers but planning to get home in time for Supernatural. Sunday I have no plans! Want to play Dominion?

Well... it looks like I don't have to rush home Friday night. What the hell, CW?

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

How is your sister doing? How are you doing?

She is better, and I am better too. Being sick uses up all my energy reserves, so I have little left for putting up with my bratty niece.

smonster, you're a good person doing good work! If they were top of their game, they wouldn't need your help, right?

Maria, good to see your pixels somewhere other than FB and GW parking lot! I hope you got lots of sleep.

Maria, so glad you made it okay.

And a good reminder to all of us in winter climes about the importance of having enough gas, a phone charger, etc. in the car when you hit the road.

Makes me grateful I only commute four miles. Push comes to shove, I can walk home from my car if I had to abandon it and the buses couldn't get through, either.

Thanks, Typo. I'm still pretty sick, but at least I'm not generating gallons of snot anymore.

Ack, Zenkitty. I hate the clothes thing.

I have to tell them every little thing,

So they're my sister and most of the designers I've worked with? I could never do what you're doing, smonster, and every kind of construction I've ever been near had days like that.

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?

{{Maria}} Glad you got home safely.

{{Zenkitty}} I understand the stress about wardrobe. And family.

{{smonster}} The good part is today is over and you can have an adult beverage (or two) and start fresh tomorrow.

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

Rest? Eh, but at least I didn't have to leave the house. I woke up on my own at 11, and then there was shoveling, and a few urgent phone calls and emails that couldn't wait. I still have my indoor pants on, so I'ma count that as a win.

Sail, I know, it's kind of novel, isn't it? Facebook did really keep me sane, as well as the folks on the radio.

And a good reminder to all of us in winter climes about the importance of having enough gas, a phone charger, etc. in the car when you hit the road.

YES. Always make sure you have a full tank especially when inclement weather threatens. I'd also recommend a bottle of water and granola bars (or similar). Hunger was the biggest factor as the night wore on. Oh, and don't be a dope and leave the snow brush sitting in the foyer at home, though a golf umbrella does a good job in a pinch. Tested that myself last evening.

Ginger, I hope you continue to feel better.

Thanks, ChiKat!
