Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You know, this documentation might be as important as our 9/11 thread. But slower.

Sophia, I was thinking the exact same thing. The vibe of this thread is much like that one was, but at a much slower pace.

The status is NOT quo.

All, I just want to remind you during this scary time that we are going to be okay.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse.

I just got an email that the San Francisco Public Library is closing until March 31st, which at this point I was expecting.

It turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of apocalypse.

NATLBSB, Pix.

(I had to pause and think what the acronym would be, it's been so long since I used it.)

I had a plumbing emergency but happily the rooter companies have not shut down, and someone came out and fixed my drains. Now I'm waiting for the hot water tank to heat up so I can clean the disgusting mess in my bathtub.

In other news, I found this wonderful ESPN clip about an amazing athlete dog: [link]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

local tavern was full - not sure it was smart to stay, but I wanted to eat so I did. Next restaurant I went to to buy gift certificate was too busy for anyone to help me. Liquor store had 4 people in buying stuff. CVS still has soup and foodstuffs on the shelves and milk. Other local restaurant looked busy. I can but gift certificates for them online.

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

Can't they just pay them not to work?

They're doing that for that for the actors so, yes. If we end up with more restrictions they'll have to.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I just got an email that the San Francisco Public Library is closing until March 31st, which at this point I was expecting.

Yup, but OTOH several branches, along with a bunch of rec centers around the City, will be open to provide emergency day care for the children of hospital workers, disaster relief workers and low-income families impacted by all the closures. 8-6, 3 meals a day, homework and crafts and such in spaces big enough to allow for social distancing. And the school district is handing out free breakfast and lunch to anyone 18 and under within city limits, public school student or no.
