Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The ID badges at my workplace are called PIV badges.
Oh, noooo.
I love witenbof. I need to remember it for days like today. My husband's great-aunt died, and yesterday his mother, who is approaching the end of her treatment for breast cancer, told us she has to have a hysterectomy because of a 50/50 shot of uterine cancer.
Oh no, Dana! My best to your husband and his family.

Holy crap.
I have never heard of "the DRC" meaning Detroit Rock City
I'm sure my friends and I just made it up. I mean, not that Detroit Rock City isn't a thing, but no one calls it the DRC! (It's just too hard to spell deh-twah, the other thing I call it....)
I thought DTF meant damn that fucker.
"witenbof" which is short for "what in the entire box of fucks."

Yummy choices! Although apologies to meara, as I am likely to make it to Glendale far sooner than I am to Seattle. Mmmm... dumplings...
So my possible Ginormous Work Headache is that my desktop hard drive is dying and it appears that the files on it were not migrated over to the new university-run servers even though I followed their directions. So I may or may not have lost 10+ years of data. Ta da!
I'm trying to quell my panic by reminding myself that lots of the materials are on my personal computer and hard copies of almost everything is filed away somewhere. Rec letters will need to be written from the top, but oh well.
And Dana, I am so sorry. Much ~ma to your family.
Oh, no, Burrell! Like you need that.
Perhaps I should disclaim that I do not know anything about Din Tai Fung per se, but I am so very pro dumpling in general that I feel comfortable endorsing just about any plan that includes eating more dumplings.
