I like the idea of the tea set or the cream and sugar set. I'll keep that in mind for whenever I decide to let go of grandmother's china. Thanks all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Trump really is that petty and vindictive, but he's also lazy and in-the-moment, which at least doesn't let him plan out double-crosses.
Yeah, don't underestimate his fundamental incompetence. I mean, look at the DACA ruling -- it wasn't that he didn't have the right to do it, it's that the administration didn't do it right.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
We are home. I am exhausted. Miley is confused and exhausted. Bailey is confused and needy. We are all going to try to get some sleep.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Glad you made it home, msbelle. Good sleep for all!
A bunch of candles, votives or tealights in glass (whiskey glasses, juice glasses, wine glasses), or tapers in candlesticks, or just pillars, arranged on a serving platter can be beautiful. Or floating candles in your soup tureen, or large veg bowl. Oy. Ask me how I know.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I did the thing! I feel much better. Thanks for the encouragement.
msbelle, glad you're all home safe.
It'll take a crowbar to pry the bloated orange tick out of the the White House. Things are going to be real bad, and it scares me to know I can't even imagine what he'll do.

Aw, LMM said on Twitter that they only got one "fuck" to use in Hamilton, so "When you knock me down I get the FUCK BACK UP AGAIN!" is going to be bleeped. That's one of my favorite parts.
I LOVE to yell that line. Sometimes I would play Hamilton when I was in the shower in the morning before work, and it always made me ready to smash my day. (of course, now some days I don't actually shower, or when I do, it's at some random point in the day)
but some of the serving platters could conceivably get used if I ever do get around to giving a dinner party.
You could also just display it on your table, or use it to hold mail.

watch him issue a raft of pardons on his way out the door.
I do expect they'll do this kind of thing, however you can't pardon somebody until they're convicted. And his kids won't be convicted until he's out of office.
You can't pre-emptively pardon somebody.

You can't pre-emptively pardon somebody.
I wonder how many times his enablers have had to explain that to Trump.

Not true. In the Federal system the president can pardon before indictment for unspecified crimes. Ford gave Nixon a pardon like this -- just said he was pardoned for anything he might have done between two dates, and that was that.
