On the light side, have you seen the First Time Hearing videos on YouTube? Young men - twins - who are exploring "old" music for the first time and making videos of their reactions. So far, the ones I've seen are positive ... but the reactions to the Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter are priceless.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I love those guys! I keep saving their videos to watch later because watching YouTube is not something I can do much of for some reason, but what I have seen has been just delightful

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sorry, Tep. That's scary and stressful.
It turns out she was just very constipated and gassy.
I vividly remember having to pick up Emmett from school because of intense stabbing stomach pains and being able to relieve just with Gas-X. Which we always keep in the house now for that moment. Just a reminder that gas can be very painful.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yeah, like I said ltc doesn't complain, so I knew it was really painful.

I was once in the emergency room (teaching hospital attached to a university) and I overheard, from the next cubicle, a college student being told that she was constipated and given a laxative. So ... it can persist into almost-adulthood.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
They did an X-ray and you can see the pockets of gas and constipation and it was quite substantial. I feel like a bad momma who wasn't monitoring her bathroom habits enough.

Just got an automated call - both offices are closed today due to smoke. Makes no actual difference to me, I'll be working from home with a Vog mask on either way, but we won't be shipping any orders out either, or receive inventory. This should be interesting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Steph. All best thoughts for you.

Hugs, Steph. I'm so glad your brother has the professional chops for this.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Update: my brother says my dad is refusing to go to the hospital, but he's going to call him later and check on him. He plans to visit my dad in person tomorrow and, at the very least, get his guns.
This is FUCKED UP. I really can't even handle this.
