Thanks on the heads up, Todd. We had so many alerts the last couple days for the abduction of the child upstate that everyone is still on edge.
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Soup. I have much soup. Not only has the Madwoman in the Attic (the old friend who is our housemate) made me soup, but friends dropped off a care package of homemade minestrone and lots of bread.
In even better news, Mr. Loomycakes comes home today!
Yay on soup and bread and husbands returning home!
Tim is Ironman! I'm glad the surgery and the walking are working at making his life so much better.
Hugs and hellos and condolences, Karl.
Cheers for all the good and condolences for all the not-very-good from me to everyone. Clarity and comprehension for the various epiphanies, and also,
(waves, hi, hugs, ~ma, health, love, sparkles, alibis, bitter revanges if you need one)
I want one of everything on Shir's list.
I went to get my teeth cleaned earlier, and it turns out that I need a tooth pulled. Yikes! It's a molar that I had a root canal performed on quite a while ago (10 years? 15 years?), by a dental practice I'm no longer with because they were shitty. Back in 2017 or 2018, the same tooth was giving me some grief, and I saw an endodontist who was able to do some kind of tooth magic and fix it. But they x-rayed it today, and it's at the point where it needs to come out. The freaky part is that it has an infection, and I wasn't aware of it -- there's no pain or tenderness. That's weird as hell. So next week it gets yanked, and after about 6 months I'll get an implant.
weirdness, tep. Yeah, also want everything on Shir's list.
I'm glad late night shows are back, because the House voted to remove McCarthy as Speaker.
Indeed, shrift. Also the gag order on Trump. Great news day for late night.
Timelies all!
I have a flu shot scheduled for Thursday. Haven’t scheduled a Covid booster shot yet, but I’ve gotten reminders that Safeway has them.
Please please can we get that clerk to announce for another 15 rounds that no one won the speakership? It's time for her to come back to glory.
