Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Oh Todd, that sounds terrible! I can't believe no one helped you! I'm glad you're up and doing okay. I hope the blood was the worst of it and you don't have too much residual soreness.

Happy birthday, Sheryl!

Happy belated, Drew!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Toddson! That does sound terrible, and I hope you are actually OK. May I recommend some painkillers before you go to bed tonight?

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

Ouch, Toddson. I hope the ice helps and that you don't end up with too much stiffness or soreness.

What is even happening?

Toddson, you poor baby. I hope you feel better soon. I'm sorry no one helped you. I think everyone must be feeling extra wary because of Covid-19.

I read Natter, and stopped after Laura's post here Laura "Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess" Apr 17, 2020 7:38:07 am PDT, so I returned to this post of yours Toddson "Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess" Apr 17, 2020 7:49:08 am PDT:

One of my college professors - Classical Greek - was of the opinion that any language with regular verbs just wasn't worth her time.

This gave a completely different context to -t's post here -t "Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess" Apr 17, 2020 7:52:24 am PDT:

Oh, Toddson, I'm so sorry! That sounds like a terrible experience. I hope the physical effects are not too bad or long lasting.

I mean, I know as a breed, we Buffistas are precious about language, but...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Breakfast this morning would have been better if we had not cut the strawberries with the knife that was used to chop onions.

I mean, some people would probably find that combination yummy.

Not me though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There is an Italian salad with both strawberries and onions, but you don't want to have sneaky cross flavors.

And now I miss Strega. I still can't believe she's gone.

It's boggling.

Take care of yourself, Todd! Please don't land on your pretty face!

"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

Yikes Toddson! I confess, in your shoes once it became obvious people were deliberately choosing not to help I'd probably have been tempted to take advantage of the bloody face mask and moan "BRAIIIIINS!"

It seems like surprise strawberries in something onion-based would be a nice layering of flavors, but I don't think it works the other way around.

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

Oh, I've done that, Dana. Not the best.

To be honest, I would hesitate to go help someone up these days. I would get close enough to ask if they were all right, though, I hope.

Y'all, I'm pretty much out of can and I have another 2 hours of work. Just drained.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Me too, -t. This week has been mad and I'm ready to fall asleep on the couch. Whaddya mean two more hours of work?
