Crazy winters with lake effect snow and stuff, but pretty area.
Yeah, I'd heard it was pretty snowy. But I grew up in a really snowy area, so I'm cool with it. As it were. Does your niece like it there, Laura? I'm not seeing a lot online about it.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Good luck, Calli! I skimmed over your stuff to do earlier, sorry. That's a lot.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S woke up at 2 and wanted to sleep with us. Which means I ended up crowded to the edge of the bed with his legs draped over me. Apparently it's not just cats who take their half of the bed out of the middle.

Our wings are not tired.
My niece has lived there for many years and she does like it a lot. Close enough to Syracuse for airports and bigger stores. Oswego has a college student age population so some restaurants and so forth catering to that set. Small town for sure though! DH spent some time there fishing this summer. Big salmon in that lake.

Yes Sheryl, kids are really good at the bed sprawl! They don't want to sleep with you forever though. Promise, they do get past that.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm currently at Melbourne Airport for our flight to America. We've hit a problem. Biyi, being Chinese, needed to apply for a visa, which she did and was approved. What we didn't see on the visa was fine print saying she had to enrol at some website. We've put in a frantic application, and now desperately hoping she can somehow get an approval within the next hour; otherwise, we can't make our flight.

Dana, Vonnie lives in Pittsburgh and really likes it, I think...

Thanks, -t. It's mostly good stuff, though. The massage was delightful.
That's good to hear, Laura. A small town near a larger city is basically what I have now, and I like it.

An age ago, when I was growing up in Pennsylvania, I loved the trip up north to Pittsburgh. You're driving on a big highway through steep hills, then you enter Liberty Tunnel. You exit onto a bridge over a wide river, with the entirety of downtown Pittsburgh bursting into view in front of you. Staggering, to a country kid, especially at night, with all the skyscrapers lit up. To call it a different world is not hyperbole, I was used to farmland and everyone I met probably being related to me in some way. A major city was enthralling.
