Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Kate, that's a lot. Healing~ma to your FIL and your friend.

smonster, so much love and strength to you too.

I wish I was more eloquent tonight.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That's so funny. I'm glad you could identify the small white thing.
I was laughing the second I heard her bite, heard a break and saw a small, white thing. That looked like a tooth. It sounded really expensive or she’d lose a canine but I was still laughing. Once I knew it was Nylabone and not tooth, I kept laughing. And making a mental note to post because it was small, white and looked like a tooth so she ate it.

The AT&T is a fiasco but I’m out of effs, so I’ll just escalate until someone genuinely wants to make it right or I’ve cost so much time it’s easier for them to cave. I’ve no skin in the game for which resolution but there will be a resolution where I have an unlocked phone to replace my old iphone se. it’s not even about the phone now. I’m just angry.

This is an excellent definition and reminder. I think I need this as art on my wall as a constant reminder that yes, it exists, and it's a better form of living. Even in 2020. Or especially in 2020.

I still can't believe this is happening.

amyth, amych, askye

Please. It's a-myth, a-mich (the ch pronounced as /χ/ in IPA), and ask-a (as in, how you pronounce the name of the letter a in English).

Thrive to spite them

I'm in the a mitch and a myth group of pronunciation of amych and amyth.

And then my board name is just my first initial and my middle name so it's "a sky" .

I switched from Allison S because people would mix me and Allyson up occasionally and since I'm not good at naming things at all that is the best I could come up with.

A few places I'm askyefic because it was fannish related and I started using that for my fanfic so I just tacked fic to the end of it.

'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"

I guess I'm the only one who went with 'amy-see-aich' and 'amy-tee-aich' -- I often use my initials (see-aich) to sign things, so it followed naturally for me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I’m so glad you were able to make it up to NC, smonster. I know how close you and Amyth are, and video/phone/txt just aren’t the same.

Cass, that AT&T stuff is some BS. When I was settling things after my dad died, I noticed how bad some organizations are dealing with death. “I need to cancel X because [Dad’s name] has died. Would you like me to send you a copy of the death certificate for your records?” “I’m sorry. Only the owner of the account can make changes.” “OK. Well the owner’s auto pay card was frozen at his death, so good luck with that account.”

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Just for clarification, my name is pronounced My-rickle-mang.

Our wings are not tired.

Cass, sorry about the AT&T abuse.

Hey MM!

I'm here, love you all, also, not enough coffee.

Punishingly Intricate

It's not "ah," it's "ay." Ay-myth, Ay-mitch, Ay-skye.

Orrr ah-myth, ah-mitch, and askie.
