kind of surprised by how late in the day it starts

Yes -- when we first started SuperBowling, probably two decades ago, we'd start our bowling games when the Superbowl started, but this year (2019 was the last year I did it; they did do a 2020, but I was in the hospital) -- I was like, uh, start bowling at 6p on a Sunday and THEN go out for dinner? What am I, under 40 or something? No thanks.

So we started at 3p-ish, bowled two games, and were sitting down to dinner by 5:30p. Much more civilized. (We also used to bowl three games. Not anymore!)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

someone on twitter said the whole halftime show was a pregnancy announcement and the dancers were sperm

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh. I have seen things labeled Cheesecake Brownies although I don't know what that means in a practical sense.

Usually a brownie with some cheesecake marbled in on top. Delish!!

Oh, -t, my mother's trip was this weekend and she didn't end up taking the train after all (her host insisted on a million-dollar Uber!).

I am home sick from work, with what is turning out to be a run-of-the-mill cold, but I don't know how to handle it In These Times. I guess I could be working from home, but since I usually don't, I don't have all my stuff, but going into the office seems rude somehow?

Our wings are not tired.

Pretty much. eta: and she pulled out her own brand makeup compact and touched up her face

I loved Rihanna's halftime show!

Jesse I’d say if it’s just today then be sick, but if you feel like it’ll be going on for a few days maybe you can pop in very early or late to grab your work stuff?

Yeah, I'll take today as a sick day, and we'll see about tomorrow.....


JenP - Feb 13, 2023 11:29:29 am PST #20655 of 30000

Yeah, take the full-on sick day today.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Omg! Day before vacation at work and it is being a PITA.

My status update for ppl while I’m out is nearing on 2 pages. I’m a GD assistant.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yikes, msbelle. That does not seem like How Things Should Be!

Oh, -t, my mother's trip was this weekend and she didn't end up taking the train after all (her host insisted on a million-dollar Uber!).

I did hear that BART stations near the airport were closed for some reason (like hazardous materials in the area?) recently, so that may have been a good choice. But I was also in MTZ this weekend, so hooray for proximity even if totally invisibly!
