I second DebetEsse's motion.
Natter 75: More Than a Million Natters Served
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.
Wanting a non crappy birthday is not petty.
I agree with Debet. Your birthday is such a special day for you, you need it on a different day!
OH MY GOD VIENNA it is like 100 degrees and I am not exaggerating TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING.
I CAN'T EVEN with the anti-vaxxers. I'm sorry, Lisa.
No need to apologize, Tom! I can't with them either. The one person is an actual friend and, while I suspected she was somewhat vaccine dubious, I had no idea she was that bad. I'm shocked and just glad I have super smart friends who can talk sense. The other person I don't really know, she's married to an old friend of my husband's. I thought I had unfriended her a while ago!
In other news, so sorry about your uncle, Steph. One of my dear uncles had been in three ICU since last week. He collapsed after developing an infection after having a stent placed. He's doing relatively well but it is pretty serious. He's having another surgery today on the infection site so good thoughts his way are appreciated.
Teppy Day Observed can be on the first non-funeral day following the actual day. You're like George Washington.
I agree with the Teppy Day observation, however I have issues with the George Washington thing. I share a birthday with George and it was always a nice day off holiday until nasty politicians messed things up and combined it with Abe on a random day. I still take the day off in protest.
I CAN'T EVEN with the anti-vaxxers. I'm sorry, Lisa.
Indeed!
Recovery~ma for your uncle in massive doses. I didn't jump in to the vax discussion because I get head explody, and it seemed handled by my peers. Otherwise I would have gotten my outrage on.
The greatness of the Teppy is indeed such that, should her day be clouded or besmirched by such travails as grief or family caretaking, it must needs overflow onto one or more other days in order for the celebration as suits one so fantabulous. And we shall all rejoice, for the greatness of the Teppy is also a joy in our lives and any and every chance to celebrate her a happy one.
Re: anti-vaxxers - Oh, there was raging in backchannel. I feel like I need to apologize for tagging Nanita and meara - their knowledge would have been wasted worse than the proverbial pearls before swine.
