Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

'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"

My roommate was talking about adopting a rescue pig yesterday, and seemed surprised that I was all for it, we have a yard, and all that, and there seems to be no relevant city ordinances. But I would be surprised if she carries through on it. Sigh.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just told her she can watch all the Doc McStuffins she want.

We all need a little something to ease the pain. If it's talking toys and stuffed animals, so be it.

Pig~ma, Theo! That would be awesome.

Out of curiosity, suppose you ordered something from a vendor and they shipped it and gave you a tracking number. After a day or so, tracking shows no movement ("Shipping label has been created. The status will be updated when shipment begins to travel.")

If you contact the carrier asking for an update on the order, what would you expect them to say?

I just told her she can watch all the Doc McStuffins she want.

Given my current intake of ice cream (from a local maker—I'm supporting small, local businesses and helping them through this crisis!), I have no room to talk about anyone's coping mechanisms.

That's a neat music challenge, meara. I did better with 70s music than I expected.

Now I'm on the schedule as continuing to work from home (after asking about my persistent but minor cough). This is so confusing.

The mayor has recently announced that DC's lockdown has been extended until June 1. sigh ....

-t I've been meaning to ask about the place your brother works. How are they doing? I've not gotten as many cards out as I had hoped. I am writing more right now.

I haven't actually talked to him in a while, msbelle, thanks for the nudge to check on him...
