Time flies everywhere! I saw one of my mother's old coworkers recently, and the thing I know about her is "four kids under 5." Well, the oldest is 15 now!
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There are people with the last name of Muskrat in Missouri. This doesn't seem like it should happen outside of the Far Side cartoons.

While I don't agree with some of Nussbaum's analysis on BDS and its impact, this post has a good analysis and background on what it took to host the Eurovision here and why it was, indeed, a small victory against the government. [link]
I've heard people repeating versions of the final sentence in that post in the past 48 hours. I thought it was dark humor until I read this post and Kann's statement on how much money they've cut from original productions for the next few years in order to host the Eurovision without government support.

Hey. New board.

Doo-de-doo, the 1000+ orders I got in this morning are apparently wrong and need to be voided. I don't know why voiding takes so long, been about 45 minutes so far...can't really do anything else until this is done, either.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S has had his own room(which used to be the library) since we brought him home. His door has something called a door monkey on it, which prevents him from opening it.

I can't remember, where do we talk about Netflix shows like Stranger Things? I have a minor fandom vent.

There are two houses on the same block in Baltimore for sale. Both are 4 BR, one has 2 baths and one has 3 baths - so by my calculations, 4 of us could start a small take-over of that block. I AM JUST SAYING!

I need to figure out what I need to do to be able to get in on something like that. Gonna take ages to actually do, but I should have a plan.
Looks like orders can be voided at a rate of approximately 4 per minute. This is not gonna be done before I go home unless the rate isn't constant.
