Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Maybe try calling local police non-emergency line and asking them?

Yikes, y'all, that is A LOT of family drama to unpack. Best of luck to all of you.

I have heard of the sending to Ukraine thing happening but I have no idea how you'd do that either. Totally understand your resentment!

Here's a potential resource, and a buyback scheduled for August [link]

OK, I'm calling it a day, anyone emailing me after 4pm on Friday surely does not really expect a response.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I don’t know what to do with [them]

Handguns or shotguns or rifles?

First step, make sure they all have trigger locks or breech locks on them.

Handguns. Most of which are in cases that I’ve only opened to confirm that’s what’s in them.

Thanks -t. I could probably drive to Madison!

In other news, I was on the board for a rescue last year and it stressed me out like whoa so when they asked today if I would rejoin for next year I said “Love to!” SMH

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Wow, a lot of family drama going on.

BTW, I decided to try the happy hour at the little pub type things couple blocks from my house that I haven’t been to since the before times. It’s nice! Not least because right now it’s just the female bartender, me and another female customer in here. Was really crowded last time I was here, so I’m enjoying the relative quiet (not literal quiet, there’s music playing and basketball with no sound on 3 TVs which I guess is actually quiet but there’s a lot of stuff going on). Also an interesting selection of beer that I will only be able to try a little of today. But now I know how easy their happy hour is, so I’ll be back!

Other customer left and bartender doesn’t seem to mind that I am on my phone in between discussing flavor profiles with her.
