I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Will re-post this on FB. I know 2020 has sucked balls. Are people wanting to do a gift exchange this year?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I don't want to participate in the gift exchange, but I'm happy to add people to my card list if they're interested.

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 really enjoyed sending and receiving cards last year (Plei's is in a frame on my desk), and would like to do so again.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Cards.

Why don't my children do their homework?

Relatedly, does anyone want a sweet-tempered, tall, turns 18 in August 2021, assistant/guest/nanny/etc. next year? Working on driving. Cooks. Doesn't do homework.

I’d show her around Seattle, if she came out here, and I’ll have a guest room!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda is crying because her homework assignment is to watch a David Attenborough video, and it's showing animals dying. And that's basically like snuff porn horrible to her.

"Who wants to watch animals dying?!!!"

She had a similar issue with one of her fiction reading assignments. She's a sensitive girl.

Tempting! We might have an extra room by then. Driving NSM an issue in SF. Homework even less so.
