Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Happy Birthday Theodosia!
Happy Birthday Jesse! I hope you don't get Covid (hey, a person can dream).
I lurked for a while, jotting post numbers on scrap paper so I could find my place in threads
I did the same thing!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I lurked for a very long time and when I finally delurked my first tagline was sophia talking about the wolf pack: “I was surprised when they ate the pig, but I was SHOCKED when they ate the principal.”

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Theo!

It is true she's been sick since last Tuesday (tested neg on Tues, didn't test again until Friday), and I'm ok so far, so maybe I really am magically immune???

Our wings are not tired.
Enjoyed the various trips down memory lane posts. I joined shortly after 9/11 when I was seeking distraction on the internet. No lurking, because I didn't know any better! I found Spike's Bitches first and didn't venture into Natter because it was too fast and I couldn't keep up at all.
Hell’s bells, Cass, I’m about ready to crawl out of my sickbed and strangle your S-I-L myself. WTF is wrong with her?
Seriously, I'll volunteer to hold her down.
Christmas was a lot of food!! Way too much food. My SIL has a nail salon and brought too many fancy treats that clients had left for them. Just exhausted today.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Here's hoping.
On Christmas Eve my grandmother (and all the neighbors in her wing) had to be evacuated from their apartments because of a burst sprinkler pipe. It sounds like her place got the worst of it. My uncle showed up to visit during the chaos and took her home with him. So she is clothed, fed, and cared for by family, but I'm sure she feels hopeless and helpless. She couldn't keep any food down that night.
I haven't heard any updates since then, but my uncle had been in contact with the building manager and I think my brother is going to call my uncle and see if he can get in to try to salvage photos and her genealogy files. We're concerned that any remediation company will just throw everything in a dumpster.

Not really that awful, but my water heater decided to quit, yesterday. When I showered after all the pre-event prep it seemed like I didn't have much hot water, but I figured maybe I had used more than I thought doing dishes and cleaning. Nope, when DH took his shower this morning it wasn't working. At least our water isn't really very cold. We have indoor functional showers at the beach club across the street, and at the gym, so not a disaster. We knew it was going to have to be replaced. Going tankless, which requires some electrical work to be done. It would be much worse if my water was actually cold. DH is going to try replacing the element first to see if that puts off the replacement for a bit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The internet and cable here died on Christmas Eve and still isn't back.
