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

Didn't Twitter know they were dating before Gaiman did, also?

I want to say I was rooting for those crazy kids to make it work but to be honest I was not

anyone have specific chairs to recommend?

It can't beat a free one courtesy of Maria, but I've been much happier with this wooden banker's chair I got from Office Star than any other office chairs I've had: [link]

Looks like Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer have split up and she's already leaking messy drama.

Why would the split have changed that about her?

Our wings are not tired

I've got an Aeron chair. I got hooked on them way back when I worked at Disney, and a lot f recording studios also use them. They are expensive, but I'm so glad I invested in one years ago. It's still going strong and pretty much feels just like new.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I went to get COVID tested yet again -- this is a study being done in Cambridge, so it's for everyone who works/lives there.

Since I'm waiting out whether to see if I'm infected, this should be the most interesting test result yet. I've certainly got no symptoms yet, anyway, including fever and oxygenation and so on.

Then, since i was out anyway, I stopped by Trader Joe's and stocked up on some yummy things.

English muffin with grape jam: I've never liked Amanda Palmer, who I thought her only real talent was self-promotion.

From what I've seen, it's really hard to get on the bad side of Neil G., either personally or professionally. So I expect the break up is all on her.

What is even happening?

I'm glad you got tested again, Theodosia. Here's hoping your results are negative (or, if you get some immunity benefit, that you have an asymptomatic case and get that benefit).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Never been a Palmer fan myself, but they did seem to make each other very happy, so I hoped for the best for them.

ordered a soft sided pet carrier for the plane.

msbelle, I'm a worry wart--you are carrying the dog in the plane's cabin, right? I don't think they'll allow a soft-sided carrier in the hold.

Eeennglish muffinnns! I'll have to cobble something--with strawberry preserves, or orange marmalade. I hope you get useful test results, Theo.

Dana, I hope the meds work--fast and well.

Someone posted a cartoon of the rear window of an SUV reading: Your health is not more important than my liberties. And I wonder, how the hell did we arrive at a place where a soccer mom can say that in all sincerity. It makes me despair.

But really, I'm no better. I'm wishing for a magic button. Someone says something selfish and callous, I just push the button, and they disappear, nice and tidy. I'd just walk from place to place, eliminating assholes. And feel good about it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Your health is not more important than my liberties.

I guy I knew in high school is an ER doctor, and I know for a fact that he voted for Trump. While I genuinely don't wish illness or death on him, I have been idly wondering how that vote is working out for him, and if he still stands by his vote.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yeah, this. I just hope their kid will be okay.

Hugs to everyone who wants them, sincere nods to everyone who'd prefer that.

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

I'd just walk from place to place, eliminating assholes. And feel good about it.

Ah, living the dream...
