It's not gone, but I at least feel like I can keep my eyes open for a while.
That's something, at least.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Yesterday at work was a focus, so I had people pointing lights at me for 4 hours or so. My coping mechanism is to turn my back to the light and look at my shadow instead of looking into the light to find the hot spot.
thanks for the pvc sock putter onner tip
Which theatre magazine has the Tech Notes series? I should draw that up and send it in.
I think I'm gonna avoid screens the rest of the evening and stick to a book for a while.

Ugh, aurelia. Yeah avoiding screens sounds like a good idea.
Also hit with a migraine today, although it was the sort that was not too bad if I could stay still, and I could indeed keep still for much of the day.

Hey. New board.
Hello everybody. I am here in Natter for the first time in... a year? Maybe? I am sorry that I lost the ability to keep up here.
I am here now just to say that I have moved to Brazil with my wife and three kids. I realized when I was talking about it in Literary that I hadn't said that on the board, and it's kind of important to understand anything I might talk about!
So there you go. On that note, I do miss Nattering and may try to keep up here again. Wish me luck!

Our wings are not tired.
I do wish you luck both in the nattering and with your time in Brazil. We have a very large Brazilian population in South Florida. Their politics are as distressing as ours. I hope you find time to share your experiences and observations.

Ooh! Brazil! What will you be doing there?

I hope Brazil's working out for you, Gris. It's good to see your pixels.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I'm hosting a phone bank tomorrow and my attendance has gone down from 7 to 3. UGH. Still plowing ahead with it, I'll just make less food. Today is my day to practice, so I am comfortable with online interface and can better guide the volunteers. I don't much like making phone calls, so it's gonna be a challenging afternoon.

ugh phone banking , man. Tested the system, got a feel for it ad the script - never even got into the script really because calls were so short.
12 calls in 20 minute with an average wait time of 30 seconds to get connected to a call.
4 hang-ups (there is a lag on connection), 2 "remove me from your list", 1 "we only vote Republican", 2 "not a good time/please call back", 1 Undecided - this guy did not know the name Beto O'Rourke, 1 Leaning toward Cruz, and 1 Beto Supporter.
Not even a net negative on the outcomes and still so UGH. Block walking is sooo much better.
