Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Peppermint jo-jos and those chocolate almond salt things are what I'm dying to try. And those tiny peanut butter cups are amazing.
eta: I don't want to be too pushy since I'm on the receiving end, but is there maybe a way to organize so the TJ goodness is fairly distributed.
And I like the idea of a TJ F2F in Albuquerque with Liese.
Oh my god, the tiny peanut butter cups are so delicious.
Stephanie, what everyone else said about having your back. I'm glad you know we're here, and we care.
Poor Suzi! Hot tea with honey and a shot of whiskey maybe?
Do they still make the UFO chocolate mint things? I could eat an entire bag in one sitting; hence, I have not bought them in yonks.
When I finally get my ass back to DC, I will totally join the TJ care package bucket brigade.
Yes, yes, feel better Suzi. I seem to only be able to make one topic posts in Natter today.
And thanks again, Amy and everyone else. I think the there is just this sort of rabbit-hole, what is going on, plus the scary uncertain future and it leads to a lot of self-questioning on my part.
My mother has specifically requested the minicups when she's out here next month(!)
Shopped, swam (it was kinda busy, but I still kept up my awesome time, even if my pace was necessarily all over the place,) cleaned, manicure.
Leise, what a lovely thing to be able to say about your spouse. Just beautiful. Clearly, you deserve such a partner! Happy anniversary.
So sorry you feel sucky, Suzi. Healing ~ma headed your way.
I love the idea of confectionery support. Tangible and tasty.
I would love a TJ's care package but know not what to wish for.
I know some of us have shared concerns here before about having young kindergartners (and so on). I haven't read this entire article but it seems to offer some reassurance. [link]
One neighbor just volunteered her husband (who I am also friends with) to fix my ceiling. However, I would only do that in an emergency, as I'm sure she'd get the evil eye for doing so. Another neighbor's boytoy is going to be in town for a month and is looking for handyman work, so she's seeing if he can do it. Top that off with: the new neighbor's boyfriend works in construction.
I have an embarrassment of neighbors!
