I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I missed one rehearsal while I was in CA and another because I came back with food poisoning. What do we think is the over/under on people (jokingly or not) asking me if I have coronavirus?

I was out 2 days (after zero travel) and was asked, so I'd lean toward 100%.

Baiting a trap with cilantro might be construed as cruelty to animals ... just sayin'

I was thinking the same thing.

Thrive to spite them

Supposedly bunnies love cilantro and I was nibbling on most of the bait. Ripe bananas were the #1 treat but we have no bananas and I really really don't want to go back to the store

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Much ~ma to you and your family, Cashmere.

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 so sorry, Cashmere.

Our wings are not tired.

Wow, Chris Matthews just quit on air.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, Cashmere. That's a lot. Much ~ma to you and yours.

The status is NOT quo.

Cashmere, I'm so sorry. That's such a stressful situation.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks for the ma. Update: Dad has a few broken ribs, lots of cuts and bruises and a sprained foot. His CT scan was clear, so he doesn't have a concussion. He's spending another night in hospital and my sister will stay with him for a few days until I can get there this weekend.

My brother refuses to let us see him, won't talk to us or release his medical condition. But he called my sister tonight and asked if she would come pick him up if they let him out. She said no.

We not have to navigate the legal situation--whether they plan on filing charges against my brother or my dad, and whether they can catch Joe before he leaves the hospital and arrest him.

We also need an order of protection to keep my brother away from Dad and the house altogether.

This is a goddamn nightmare but, for all that, it could have been a lot worse.

I missed Matthews' on-air flounce.

Cashmere, my heart breaks for you and yours. Healing thoughts all round.

The politics and MSNBC drama is interesting and distracting.
