Because books.

Oooh, dog bites are never a good thing, Laura. Sorry the doc yelled, but yay for antibiotics.

Also? I've been meaning to send you love and support for what's going on with your youngest. It's just sort of inconceivable to me based on your relationship until now, and I'm so sorry he's putting you through this. I just want to smack him, to be honest. But I'm very happy that your older guy is taking to his new life up north so well! So, just lots of love to you, and you've been in my thoughts.

Hugs to everyone. I am another who can't really keep up, and can't manage a lot of regular communication right now, but I'm always here reading and everyone in this place has my love.

Does anyone know if amyth has any food sensitivities or restrictions right now? Or just stuff she flat out doesn't want, or wants?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Big excitement on the street: I heard car tires squealing down the street (in that "I Am Going Too Fast" way), then heard a loud crash. Of course I ran out on the porch and then walked down the street to see what happened. Apparently the driver of the car was being pursued by police, drove down our street, lost control, hit 3 cars about 1 block away from our house, then jumped out of their car and fled on foot. And now there is a police helicopter circling overhead.

And that is how I now know how many of my neighbors are working from home, because we all came out to gawk (and I now know we ALL wear jammie pants/sweatpants).

Our wings are not tired.

Ha! That is indeed the new business casual.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, hey! you were wearing PANTS!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I was late watching Tim Minchin's opening number for the 2020 BAFTAs, but picked it up last night. One of the lyrics was "Who designed your tracksuit?"

Considering some of the Zoom ... errors ... where people weren't wearing pants, I figure being covered should be sufficient.

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

Timelies all!

We have ordered a meal for 2-to-4 people from a local gourmet market. Probably will end up with leftovers(especially since we have no idea what Mr. S will eat, or how much), but that's ok by us.

Amy, Amyth can’t handle dairy or beef. I’m not aware of any other issues.

Thanks, Calli! Does dairy in a cookie count?

Fucking FINALLY.
