Consuela, just getting caught up and saw the news about your dad. I'm so sorry for your loss. You've shared so many stories over the years, he was like a part of this community. {{{hugs}}} to you and your family.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Go away, 2016.

Thrive to spite them
I had my date. It was...awwkard and boring and occasionally interesting. It was a lunch date for scheduling reasons.
I got home and - Secret Santa Presents!! I got a Dragonfly coloring book (which I almost bough the other day) , colored pencils (72 colors!), spicy tabasco chocolate, and this amazing Doctor Who pocket watch -that can be worn as a pocket watch or an necklace and a pendant!! I'm waiting for day light to take pictures/

Thank you, Laura! I'm so excited to listen to Aristotle and Dante. You're amazing!

quester, thank you so much!
I picked up my package today. I posted a photo in the FB group, but I am positively delighted by a treasure trove of goodies:
Bacon soap, bacon bandades, a lovely magnet, a bobble head General Leia, a Rogue One calendar, Star Wars stickers, a Wonder Woman ornament, a 3-d metal Enterprise model to put together, and a Star Trek communicator pin.
I've died and gone to favorite things heaven. I should probably try to stay there for the next four years, at least.
Thank you!!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
General Leia was a late addition. I bought it the day Carrie died.

Thank you, secret Santa, for the lovely mug, coffee, and card! I'm looking forward to enjoying the first two tomorrow morning. The last one I'm enjoying now.
ETA: And thank you for the lovely scarf!

Meara, I've just been notified by the magazine company that there was a glitch in the order for Seattle magazine. They say that it has been straightened out now and that you should begin receiving it in about 6 weeks. Could you let me know if and when you get it, so I can agitate if they don't come through? Thanks.
