I for one welcome our new shrift overlord. Sign me up!
Seconded. Could you temporarily relax Australia's immigration laws for a select group of "consultants," shrift?
There's a former MP in New Zealand with your first name, who is married to someone with your last name.
I'm sorry, but shrift's name should just be shrift, like Cher, but with no upper-case letter.
This reminds me, yesterday, I saw someone on Twitter suggest that when you forget someone's name and don't want to ask it, you can ask them, "Have you ever thought of adding an 'ita' to your name?"
That, of course, made me start imagining how that conversation would have ended for a forgetful person who tried it on ita. Pinkies were involved.
flea, I'm glad Casper squeaked by with a passing grade and that you can go to your concert without that hanging over you.
My DIL has talked my son into doing 5K events with her. This is a good thing. I may join them. Also they told me a couple days ago that it won't be too long before they do the baby making thing. They brought it up; I am not that mom. Anyway, with her EDS her doctor wants her to be finished with pregnancy stuff before she turns 30 and she is 24 now. Not doing this tomorrow, but starting to think more seriously about when because they both want children. She has lost 30 pounds in the past few months, intentionally working with a nutritionist. She is 6 foot tall and just trying to be as healthy as possible before getting pregnant. They are both super responsible and planners. They both feel that DH is going to be the absurdly doting grandparent, and maybe I'll participate. They get that I adore them but babies have never been my thing.
That's exciting, Laura. I wish them the best.

But just wait until the babies turn into PITA teens! You will be right there to shape them up!! I mean, I imagine.
sj, that is so hard. I still feel my kid's pain worse than my own.
Jesse, I have always been pretty good with teens. I enjoy then and find them fascinating in many ways. I will absolutely be the gram that the teens come to when they need to complain about their parents. And yeah, let them know the facts of their status as kids.
And Mueller has submitted his report to the AG. Let the weekend of conjecture commence.
I'm afraid it's all going to be a thundering letdown. I'd really like to at least get some of Trump's kids in prison.
Timelies all!
I'm going to call the local post office tomorrow, and if they don't know where the package is, then I call Powell's. (Yes, it's a big book order, and I'm annoyed by the delay.)

I see people getting very excited about it, but it's not going to resolve anything. It's just going to start a lot of legal wrangling and the White House fighting with Congress about executive privilege and (unfortunately) some of these decisions are going to the far-right leaning Supreme Court where I don't expect anything but toadying Fascism from the recent appointees.
Schiff will probably have to subpeona Mueller to report to Congress directly.

That will happen but not until Trump is out of office. Probably New York state.

I expect toadying Fascism from Kavanaugh, I mean that's exactly why Trump was so desperate to appoint him. Gorsuch actually operates from (very right-wing) legal principles, which include an attachment to checks and balances, so I'm not so sure about him on such issues. (I don't think Roberts is a reliable pro-Trump vote on such matters either.)
The Notorious RBG needs a bodyguard to keep anyone from pushing her down stairs.
