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

Because books.

Thanks, Calli! Does dairy in a cookie count?

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.

Fucking FINALLY.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Fucking FINALLY.

About goddamn time.

We have one more great-nephew as of today! 8 pounds, 10 ounces, which made me wince just a little bit. CHONK.

move out and draw fire

I literally canNOT believe GSA pulled that shit, but yes, good, finally.

Volans, if not being employed is due to the events of November 3rd my sympathy is somewhat muted.

It is not. It's due to the Peter Principle. (Interestingly, because of the election results I have some potentially excellent options next year I think. I turned down a prestigious job earlier this year because it required me to be publicly non-partisan and work with people like Ted Cruz and just no.)

(Kitty is still better and even perky, so yay! Plus both vets called to check in which was nice).

I think it depends on how much. If it’s a notable part, I’d avoid it.

Congrats on the grand-nephew-age, Steph!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

(Interestingly, because of the election results I have some potentially excellent options next year I think. I turned down a prestigious job earlier this year because it required me to be publicly non-partisan and work with people like Ted Cruz and just no.)

That'll never be you. Hope you have some good options until the great ones open next year.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I echo the kitty~ma, very hard year for furchildren

I also, echo the thanks to Shir and Nilly, it was amazing to hear voices as well as see smiles. I almost cried over how passionate Nilly was about teach Matilda Math. I wish I'd had a Nilly when I was in school. though i can't grock equations, I am also somewhat Dyslexic and a whole lot Discalculic and nobody was taking about that in the early 60's when I was moving from school to school.

I fucking hate this year! found out yesterday that one of my oldest friend's wife died. She'd been sick but I don't know with what and had succumbed. I was there when they fist met and fell in love and I'm so adrift trying to think of the best way to reach out to her besides Facebook. I asked her brother for her address and will send a heartfelt note, but Damnit! fucck this year.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, quester. I am sure she will be comforted to see your note. It is so hard to know what to say, but mostly it is just knowing you care.

Thrive to spite them

Volans I'm so glad you will have some good employment options.

So in Tday news- M said that NO! He and his mom were NOT going over to either his brother's or his sister's. "We're making Thanksgiving here." Although for some reason M was thinking Tday was NEXT Thursday... I have to pick up some last minute things tomorrow while I'm out. He will be doing all the cooking because I won't be home until 4.

I need to remember to take lunch on Thursday otherwise I will be without food. Normally work would feed us but they can't because of company policies about food during Covid.
