I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Happy Birthday, Kate!

Sent a picture of my ravaged visage to my doctor's office and they immediately prescribed Prednisone.

Yikes, your poor little face! I hope the prednisone starts working right away.

I woke up with Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" stuck in my head, and it will not budge.

Happy Birthday Kate P!

I discovered that I either misremembered how long to bleach a jack-o-lantern to preserve it, or used far too much bleach. Who knew that you could bleach pumpkin flesh white and jelly-like? (Will still work fine if it solidifies upon drying, though.)

Shir and Nilly, thanks for taking the time to check in. I too can’t believe the Pi kids are so grown.

ltc earned her blue belt in karate last night! She is very proud of herself, as she should be.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm kind of depending on Georgia to save the entire Democracy now. Can they bar him from the ballot down there if he's convicted?

Michigan is trying to bar Trump from the ballot. If enough states do so, it won't matter that the Republicans nominate him. (Seriously, I can't see him winning without MI and GA.)

ETA:

Congratulations!

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

Thanks for sharing. That sounds sarcastic, but I mean it sincerely.

Happy birthday Kate!

Considering I discovered bleach could eat through my cabinet floor….not surprised.

Who knew that hearing about lawyers taking plea deals would be such a good time? Not me

Thanks for highlighting the privilege ramifications, Vortex.

It has now been replaced by Whitesnake. I can’t explain it and I don’t make the rules; I just go with it.

I don't think I will follow you there, Tep. Then again, I have no control of the music playing in my head so who knows?
