One of my cousins in TX has tested positive for COVID. He has "moved" into a travel trailer by his house since they have no guest room and his wife and three kids are isolating for 2 weeks.

TCG and I have been married 10 years today!

Happy anniversary!

Happy birthday, Jessica! May you get compensatory dim sum, with interest, the very second it's available, but your family is a pretty good consolation prize.

Happy anniversary, sj! You and TCG and his first-date gift are some of my favorite things in the world.

Team (possibly a team of one) Amy-chuh, A Myth, Ask Ye (in a Faire accent, like "I ask ye good gentles all, doth that sound fair to ye?")

{{{Calli}}} I knew you were friends and neighbors, but I hadn't realized what a loving, supportive community you had built around you.

Like The Good Place said: "It's just having enough time with the people you love.”

This.

It's early morning and I'm getting ready for work and drinking First Coffee at my mom's place in Reno, mask ready for the moment she steps out of her room. Her new cat, a 5 or 6 year old Oakland girl rehomed from a crowded home with too many other cats and toddlers, is somewhere prowling around and just happily owning the place. She's still not used to being in a home where she has all her human's attention, there's always a lap, and every nook and cranny and corner is hers and nobody will ever hiss and snarl her out of it or try to grab her tail.

Happy birthday to Jessica and happy anniversary to TCG and sj!

My boss’ husband has tested positive for COVID (mild case). She’s tested negative as have the kids. There’s supposed to be six of us working around a tomb less than 4’ tall on Saturday. We’re supposed to “let her know if we’re not comfortable.” So once again because one of my coworkers won’t follow CDC guidelines, I get to choose between potentially exposing myself or losing another day of work. UGH. And not just a coworker, the boss. Most of the time she’s amazing but… I really don’t feel she’s taking this seriously enough.

Happy Birthday Jessica! Happy Anniversary sj!

Wow, a Miracleman sighting! It’s been awhile. You have no idea how many times I got in trouble at work for laughing out loud over something you posted.

Those folks were an uptight lot - I also caused controversy and conversation amongst staff when I sent out an email detailing the dates of my vacation and ended with “woot!” No one could understand what that meant or why I said it and I was made to explain myself.

Happy Birthday, Jess! And Happy 10th Anniversary, sj and TCG!

Tim's Covid test was negative, so that's a relief.

Happy Birthday Jessica!

Happy Anniversary sj!

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

I stand with the cowgirl on this one. Glad to hear from the source that I've at least been mentally pronouncing the last one right all this time!

I groused here about my erroneous debt war with AT&T post-2007 move, right? It took 18 months to finally get them to admit in writing that I owed them nothing. The only way AT&T will ever see another red cent from me is if they dig up my grave and find loose change in the pockets of the suit I'm buried in.

Happy Anniversary, sj!

Happy Birthday, Jessica!

Ugh, that is a brutal choice. I'm sorry you have to make it.

Oh, also, I assumed their real names were Amy C. H. and Amy T. H., so was quite surprised to learn amyth's last name!
