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.

Ay, ay, ay, flea. All the real estate~ma your way.

In so sorry that doctor was such a dick, askye. Jesus.

Good finagling, Brendan! I hope both positions get filled as he suggests.

I saw good news on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race - thought of Cash and her recent post and am glad that, as exhausting as the fight is, you won this one for Wisconsin.

Tommy, so good to hear that new meds are helping and do good t to see your pixels.

Susan, that can't be right. Check your math, please. Nineteen? What?

Sitting on my porch. Second week of travel done, and that's it for a while. Good meetings, both, but I am happy to be staying local for the foreseeable future.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My work experience was pretty bad for awhile. I had two jobs that were contract to hire that I never got hired permanently. I was unemployed with no unemployment insurance for 8 months.

I started my current job Nov. of 2021 under a contract to hire. I was made permanent a year ago. So I have PTO and matching retirement contributions again for the first time since 2017. Plus I purchased a Comfy Car for road trips.

tommyrot, good to see you here. I've also been working on getting some depression under control. You have my empathy.

Excellent!

Road trip! Where you going? Have you seen Poker Face? You could do that tour.

Indeed, both good things, tommyrot!

ND, ~ma to you in dealing with that, too.

Oh, and I figured out I’m agender. That explains so much!

I remember you talking about that a while back! There's a lot of "seems fake, but okay" stuff that suddenly becomes clear when you figure out something like that.

Finding the label and knowing there are many like me was what I really needed.

That's great, tommy.
