Aw, shrift, Jim and Ken will be all over that. I guess I could not share the link?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Yeah, Lisa and I had been hoping to have a big party for our twentieth wedding anniversary in April of this year.
(Twenty years! It seems like last week, somehow.)
But we're still here, still together, and a bunch of the friends who helped us celebrate back then are still with us. So maybe we just postpone the bash until our 25th. Or just throw an extra-big "Olly Olly Oxen Free" party in a couple of years once it stops feeling post-apocalyptic out there.

Thrive to spite them
Only one baby bunny made it through the night and probably won't make it. They showed signs of being in the sun for too long and so I'm thinking maybe they crawled out of the nest in search for the mama...
At work we have having Black Friday in July week instead of just for the weekend and it was very very slow. Online orders seem to have picked up some but it was.. scary how few people there are.
and I want to read up more on the SCOTUS ruling about Eastern Oklahoma when I get a chance.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Sorry to hear about the bunnies.
We had such plans for this year, starting with our friends getting married in May, renting a house in Mendocino for M's 50th birthday weekend in June, my 45th birthday party this month, going up to Canada in August (seeing Richard III on the Stratford Festival's new stage included), and then Peanut starting TK mid August. Obviously, none of the gathering or travel will happen, and I have serious doubts about TK.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What's TK, juliana?? And good to see you!
I think the happening is good stuff but the way it is written up is a little gross?
That is my concern.

TK is Transitional Kindergarten, for the kids who are born between September and December (SF schools have an early-September cutoff for Kindergarten entrance). So, it's kind of a preschool/kindergarten hybrid. Same hours as the rest of the school, though. And it's tough, because the early elementary grades are the grades that most benefit from in-person teaching, but I really don't want anyone to be at risk.

So Carolina Reaper, whatever that is, paired with ghost peppers... Yikes.
Carolina Reaper is one of the hottest chili peppers in the world, so if it's on offer, you should run far, far away.
Aw, shrift, Jim and Ken will be all over that.
Caveat that I haven't eaten it myself, but I have seen people do challenges on the You Tubes.

Yeah, this is really hard for everyone.

Aw, Karl. I vote random party whenever you can because I kind of always vote that
Oh, no, juliana, Richard III! Sadface for alla that, of course, but...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yeah, we had a significant decade anniversary while H was away tending his dying relatives. Friends marked the occasion, but it's an achievement uncelebrated by us.
Karl you, Lisa, and the ones who've been with you along the way should celebrate whenever the opportunity presents itself. I'm truly sympathetic for everyone whose celebratory plans have been derailed. Life is fraught. We should all celebrate at every available opportunity.
