I've got two friends who live in Turkey. Both of them happened to be in other places right now. Apparently the word for US citizens who are in Turkey right now is shelter in place.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Also have been meaning to note:I love the group of moms who have been picnicking at the Y at least once a week. They bring their kids, a ton of crabs and a couple empty pizza boxes. They set the kids loose in the playground and set out to pickin' crabs on the deconstructed boxes on the grass, and are always raucously laughing their asses off. It's such joy. Told 'em I liked their style this week & had a lovely passing conversation that ended with them telling me 'See ya next week!'

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I imagine my now-former boss is glad he was there last week and not this week. Yikes.
Good thoughts to you and your mom, Laura.

Our wings are not tired.
Calling it an early night so I can leave at break of dawn. I'll catch up on the news on the 2-1/2 hour drive to see Mom.

I honestly believe that Warren is doing a far more important and effective job in the Senate than she could ever do as a Vice-President.
This. And also why I want Al Franken to stay in the Senate. He fought so damned hard to get his seat, I want him to be there a long time.
I wonder how many people are praying "Please, God, don't let her pick her husband." Which would be a very bad idea, because the Fox headlines write themselves, but the thousands of heads exploding would be lovely to see.

1 can pineapple juice
1 can coconut milk
enough coconut run to fill the pitcher
pour over ice and add more rum to the cup for good measure.
This is how to cope. Now I am imagining I am by a pool in a tropical location with a man who finds me attractive.

Mmm, that sounds delicious msbelle!!
I have no real plans tomorrow. Could go to the beach with some folks in the afternoon. And maybe just made plans to see a movie in the evening. I want to do something interesting in the day. Hike? Adventure? Sadly solo, all my friends are useless.

I love Warren, but yeah, she could have a squillion jobs, and some folks will worry about two women.

man, how do you think the Trump campaign meetings are going today with everyone making fun of the logo and then the leaks that he was trying to dial back the Pense nom late last night? He must be throwing a tantrum.

My poor SIL had a really shitty day and then set her hair on fire taking a consolation bath.
Not buying her any more candles, just lush bath bombs.
