Fingers crossed, msbelle.
That all sounds promising, Steph. It's good they saw this now, so it's not an emergency.
I finally committed to going to my high school reunion a few days ago, and now the organizer has changed the location, and the cost per person has doubled. I am honestly not sure if I want to go to this thing $120 worth.
Yeah, no.

$120 is absolutely a fine cutoff point for ditching the official event and going for drinks with the select handful of people you were going to snark with all night anyway.
The old location was pretty convenient to my parents' house, too, and the new location is all the way downtown on a Saturday night, which means paying for parking, and it's a fancy bowling alley? And I would not be bowling, so.
The data from the UK election is fascinating. While claims that Trump got in on a working-class revolt have been basically debunked, it's the working class who swung hardest towards BoJo.
This class reunion is sounding more like a destination wedding to somewhere the bride/organizer has always wanted to vacation, Dana.
Sending ~ma for msbelle this morning.
The UK election and the whole Brexit situation freaks me out. It isn't just this country that has gone mad. Basically much of the world. Makes me want to sail away to the islands and stay high.
Sheesh, Dana. That sounds like a whole different in the wrong direction change.
Work and testing stuff is kinda nuts, but the awfulness has actually focused us on a better direction for our business, so maybe short term pain but better long term gains.
Teppy! ! instead of hugs, because. A couple really good points. First, it is so helpful that you have the medical understanding to keep from the total freakout. Still scary, but you know enough that you can be more objective. Second, go Tim for being so mindful of his health that he is the best possible candidate for the procedure. It makes a huge difference.
Hear hear on that -- as you know, my roommate had to have a big time heart valve replacement this year. Better to get it done when it's an easier and safer procedure. Tim is lucky to have you, Steph -- a second person who can keep track of the medical info is priceless in major medical situations.
The UK election and the whole Brexit situation freaks me out.
Tell me about it. So unbelievably depressed today. It's scary when suddenly your country's government is being talked about in terms of the hard-right axis of Hungary, Poland, Brazil and - yes - the US. At least those regimes can be voted out again. Brexit will damage everything for the foreseeable future, and its effects will be felt for years.
I wasn't even allowed to vote in any of the elections, nor the damned referendum, and the consequences affect me more than most. F*ck them all.
Somehow the mini-flashmob actually happened at the office party which is one day before the office moves. I'm the fattest person.

Yeah, I'm very worried about the next election here in the U.S.
Trump will be impeached but not removed for a very clear-cut abuse of power. I think he's very likely to win the 2020 election too. At that point there's no check on his power. I'm be more concerned if he wasn't clearly an idiot, but it's still really bad.
