Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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

Wow, Laura!

I learned this morning that while my car fob will not unlock or lock my doors or allow the car to start unless it is physically in the little slot, it *will* set off the alarm if I drop it on the porch. It will *not* turn *off* the alarm - to do that I have to unlock the door with a key, put the fob in its slot and turn the engine on. Really glad that worked, at least. Also glad my neighbors did not drive me off with pitchforks and allowed me to just slink away in shame.

Ironic that you were hunting for houseboats not that long ago, Laura. Maybe check into gondolas for getting around the streets, just in case?

Happy to report my new permanent crown is in and feels like a tooth rather than a LEGO® jammed into my jaw the way the temporary one did.

Our wings are not tired.

Gondola would have worked. Here is some drone footage. [link]

Oh, my word, Laura.

-t, what a pain in the ass!

Good to great, Matt.

DH is doing a "handy" thing today. There are issues. I am trying to be supportive while preventing a trip to the ER. It's a delicate balance.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Solidarity.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh my dears. I've been away 1200+ messages worth and see now so much loss and illness and _stuff_.

My condolences, get wells and best wishes to all.

Nothing much to report from my new life in MD. Little bumps here and there but nothing at all like the stress of the last 7+ years.

This morning, one of my dearest people experienced a house fire...everyone is okay...that will redefine the rest of their lives.

That news made me want to check in with you all. It's funny. I identify as a non-joiner, but whenever that comes up, I mention my 'invisible friends' and have to contradict myself.

I'm glad you are here and send all my support and appreciation.

Nice to see your pixels, bk!

The potential ER danger zone has passed. We're on the downswing. Thank you for the solidarity.

Always Anti-fascist!

My father always hurt himself doing stuff like that.

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

Timelies all!

Had my regular cleaning at the dentist this morning. Everything looks fine, so I go back in 6 months.I've been good about keeping up with my dental(and mental) health, but not so much with general health. I've finally gotten off my ass and put in a request for a physical with a new doctor. (My previous doctor went to a concierge practice that was way more expensive than I could afford.)
