Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

Alas, my day has sucked. Eldest and his father are fighting, big time. Of course both want me to take their side and both are wrong.

Went and got my nose swabbed! No fun really, but it will be nice to know.

How is stuff NOLA way?

I have lost track of how many tantrums ltc has thrown today, and I'm failing at everything.

Laura, sorry about the fighting, and I hope your test is negative.

DIL had antibody test done today. We figure if she has antibodies then we all probably do, and if I test positive we all probably are. We have been good, but really people who share a house are going to infect each other somehow.

Sorry about ltc. Changes are so hard at that age, and I can only imagine how stir crazy she must be too.

Thanks, Laura. The Zoom classes really aren't helping. She doesn't have the patience to stare at a screen and wait for a dozen other kids to talk one at a time. They all miss their teachers and they all want attention.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh man! That's a lot, y'all! Laura, have you had symptoms? I came in on Recent when everyone was talking about hair dye. Also, I've been posting pics of my mending on fb and your friend Melodie that I met at your birthday party has suddenly been commenting on all those posts, showing me her embroidery projects from back on the day she never finished.

sj, poor you! And poor ltc. I fell so much for all the little ones and their parents right now.

I'm okay. Major ups and downs. The city as a whole seems to have flattened the curve but the stupid Repub rest of the state are still going job and I'm terrified for my grind K and all the folks in ICE detention.

Thanks, smonster. It could be worse, it could be her whole class showing up for these, which is about 20 kids. I'm sorry for all your worries. It's so hard without any central leadership.

Laura, have you had symptoms?

My doctor is a freak. I think I pulled a chest muscle swimming too much. I don't mind getting the test though, because who knows.

Same here. My city and county are sensible, but the governor has always been Trump's lapdog.

Hiya smonster. Glad you're doing some self-care.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was reminded that it's Walpurgisnacht for those who celebrate it. (I don't myself, but thought this was an interesting video.)

Indeed it is. I have several friends who have prepared to welcome Frau Holle tonight and this weekend -- and more who enjoy the opportunity to watch a witchy film or twelve:
