You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Swift respond to an aneurysm is vital to recovery. Lots of ~ma to your friends, Teppy. That is scary shit.

My brother is finally getting medicated in jail! I hope the lack of access to meth and the medication will help.

Cash, I hope the medication really helps your brother. I'm sorry for everything your family is going through.

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

aurelia, after you've had them all sterilize/wash everything reasonably reachable, how about spending some time doing a table read of the last play you had? (Social distance seating, 'natch.)

I'll only have two of my crew and possibly the sound op. I'll have them cleaning the lenses of lighting fixtures and aligning lamps. They'll have plenty of space to spread out. Luckily, I already have the cleaning supplies in stock. It would be funny to see their reactions if I told 3 white, male, non-actors to do a table read of School Girls or the African Mean Girls Play. To their credit, they'd probably be offended on behalf of the cast.

My brother is finally getting medicated in jail! I hope the lack of access to meth and the medication will help.

That's good news!

Herding cats for fun

Stay safe, everyone.

Our wings are not tired.

That is very good news, Cashmere! I know it takes some time for his system to fix, but hopefully he will stay confined until that happens.

Talked with one of my medical office managers. She is a wreck from the insantiy. Extremely short staffed between people out sick because they deal with sick people all day, and now short because of people stuck home until they figure out day care for their kids. Two of her doctors had to take sick days too. They treat too many elderly patients to bring kids to work. She told me she doesn't want to hear that I went out of the house. She said the kids will have to do that for me. I never have to worry with all the worriers doing it for me apparently.

She is 100% in agreement that canceling events and sports and so forth is perfectly sound and reasonable, but WTF with the toilet tissue hoarding!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am LOLing about doing a table read with tech staff. I think costumes could maybe dour!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Cash, so glad to hear your brother is getting his meds! I hope he gets on an even keel.

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

day drinking while I clean. blood-orange cider.

Cash - so glad he is getting meds. lack of access to meth seems a good plan all around.

Steph - jesus, your poor friend. glad they got it fast.

I think I am having anxiety just with so many people talking about self-isolating. Reality is I can go days inside no problem, but so many people talking about it is making me itchy. super extrovert fears.

Thrive to spite them

Matthew and his mom and their dysfunction is going to drive me to drink or online gambling or something I don't know.

Someone keep me from treating my anxiety by buying all the things on the internet.
