Theo, do you have oil for your sewing machine? I know I need to lube mine and it's only been sitting for a year.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

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

Jacqueline has tested positive, so we're under strict quarantine for the next two weeks.
I imagine you can get things delivered, but let me know if there's anything that I can drop outside your door.

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
Sophia, you can soak them off with acetone polish remover. It should soften them up so all you have to do is slide a cuticle pusher (or similar flat implement) underneath to pop them off.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
If you put the bowl with the acetone in a bowl of hot water to keep it warm, it works faster.

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

Umm, I wouldn't recommend this. Granted I have no experience with nail polish removal, but I use acetone in the lab all the time. Acetone already has a high vapor pressure, and if you heat it you get even more fumes, which are wicked flammable. Plus it boils at 132°F, which is about what my hot water tap gives out, so it'll boil in hot water, which would make things worse. Don't do it.

Our wings are not tired.
At the nail place they put the acetone on cotton balls and wrap the finger tips in foil to hold them in place for like 10 minutes or so before attempting to remove the acrylic. The also rough up the nails before putting the acetone on them.

That sounds much safer.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh no, JZ! Much health~ma to you and all the ZMayhems! May the whole thing remain boring.
I'm Marie-Kondo-ing my jewelry. When I get depressed, I buy stuff, mostly jewelry. I get depressed a lot. There's a mountain of jewelry on my bed right now. Costume, vintage, antique, things I forgot I had, things I don't know why tf I bought. So far the keep pile is smaller than the not-keep pile, so that's good.

Because books.
We could have a jewelry round Robin! Exchange, whatever. Like the nail polish one!
