Thrive to spite them

Well crap. Matthew's brother sent around some screenshot from somewhere warning that any minute now we are going to be under 2 week lock down, marshal law is going to be invoked and the National Guard is going to be deployed to fend off rioters and looters. I don't know why he sent this to his mother who has paranoia to begin with but now she's upset and worried if we have enough food but thankfully hasn't brought up the issue of a gun again.

Why in God's name would you send that to your mother who has schizoaffective disorder ?

I'm sorry, ND.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Katie Bee, you have to be the most composed human on the planet right now.

ND, I know you treat your employees like family so I understand how hard this was for you. I am hoping with all my might that you and K come out of this okay. I really hope that there is some small business relief for you and your employees.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Oh, Matilda. I'm so sorry you didn't get in, but I'm so glad you have Emmett.

Katerina Bee, holy hell. Way to keep calm in the face of ridiculousness.

JZ, sending you all the negative ~ma I've got.

Drew, I'm so very sorry. I hope that a small business package is included in whatever relief Congress passes.

Our wings are not tired.

Matthew's brother sent around some screenshot from somewhere warning

Between the people posting fake cures and the dire warning I just want to scream. There are plenty of sources for real information. Exploitative idiots.

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

I'm so sorry, Drew.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm really taking this opportunity to explore my fridge, and I have to say: adding some flat blood orange soda to some going-off red wine is pretty tasty!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My grandmother used to add orange soda to red wine all the time at home.

I knew it sounded familiar! (I mean, not from your grandmother, but from the world somewhere.)

I may have mentioned it before. I don't know if it is an Italian-American thing or what.
