Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It is taking a lot of willpower not to spend more money than I have ordering takeout to support my local restaurants that are staying open for takeout (and enjoy their food, not gonna lie, it's all good).

Same here. I mean, we almost always went out to eat or got carryout on Saturday nights, so there's no reason not to continue, but I also want to be financially responsible because so much is uncertain. (Also, it's April, and we still haven't gotten the bills from Tim's surgery, so we have that ahead of us, too.)

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

I just ordered booze to be delivered and pre-ordered my lunch for tomorrow.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Happy birthday, Amy!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

What I've been doing is just ordering takeout (mostly from locally-owned places) whenever I would have normally dined out, and tipping as if I were. I'm sure it's not making up for the drop in business, but every little bit helps.

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

The palliative care doctor confirmed that I can visit. So I'm going to shower and dress and get a change of clothes ready, and after our conference call at 2 I'll leave for the hospital.

Oh, JZ. So much love to you and your family.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It is taking a lot of willpower not to spend more money than I have ordering takeout to support my local restaurants that are staying open for takeout (and enjoy their food, not gonna lie, it's all good).

Yesterday the local brunch place had a chicken & waffles takeout meal with cornbread and banana pudding and I guess if we absolutely needed to order it every night to keep them in business I would be willing to make that sacrifice.

JZ, I'm so glad you are able to visit in person.

{{{{{JZ}}}}} I'm so sorry.

Our wings are not tired.

The palliative care doctor confirmed that I can visit.

Sending so much love and wishes for strength.
