I really need to start working "immunocompetent" into my everyday conversation.
Boss: You are absolutely incompetent in every way!
Me: Pfft! I'm completely immunocompetent.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

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.

Should be there this afternoon.
My neighborhood will shun me if I have a goat instead of chickens. It will be very sad.

Your yard will be filled with rusted out abandoned lathes overrun with baby goats. The neighbors will call you two "That smelly goat couple."

That's better than "those freaky lathe people."

Well fork, Tep. I hope all y'all's super powers keep it mild for him (and you and his dad negative)
Your neighbors would love for you to have a goat, Tep, don't even try to pretend otherwise. There would be cute goat pictures with your stately manor in the background all over NextDoor with captions like "I wish this was my goat"

Not only cute, but if your neighbors should just, somehow, have a nasty obstinate patch of poison ivy you could turn the goat loose on it. Or not, depending on how the neighbors treat you. (How does poison ivy spread? is there a way to encourage it? just asking out of, um, scientific curiosity)

I like the “immunocompetent” idea! But dislike Tim getting covid again, yikes!!

Immunocompetent is a good word.

That's a real medical word! It just means having a normal immune system. #TheMoreYouKnow

Well, that is not cool, Steph. Not at all. I wish Tim a quick and uneventful time of it. And I wish for your immunocompetence to excel.
That's as far as it went. But my brain now has the image of me kissing Sigourney Weaver and I don't regret that a bit.
That definitely is in the excellent dream category. (I once dreamed Anthony Edwards asked me to marry him. Not the same, but it was strangely comforting!)
