Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Our wings are not tired.

Y'all can send some kind of ~ma for my brother. Kid brother (11 months younger) takes the worst care of himself imaginable. He has MS, and water on the brain, and mobility issues, diabetes, CPOD. He smokes like a chimney, eats junk and candy, and has pretty much had a death wish for decades. I saw him last weekend and his balance was scary, but the same as it has been, but his breathing sounded horrible. Ex-SIL, and current caretaker, has indicated the breathing is worse and picked up some scripts pending an appointment Sunday, but it sounds like ER may happen sooner. He won't do whatever they tell him to do, so I don't even know what to hope for. Siblings! (right up there with Kids! and Parents!)

I actually have the miracle of all miracles: developers who document what they do.

Wait, those exist? I thought they were a fairy tale made to lull tech writers into a state of complacency.

I think I have the only ones in the entire software industry, and you can't have them.

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

Timelies all!

They have finally started putting down the flooring in the house. Of course, with the way our luck has been going, some of the flooring is not what we ordered.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Adding my condolences for DCJ. It’s a shitty club, welcome.

Yeah, Hec. The good times never seem to last as long as they should.

Hi Shir, hi Nilly. Lovely to see your pixels. Do what you need to do, check in when you can.

Laura, it must be really hard to witness that, and for so long. I’m sorry.

I always thought that heated seats were kind of ridiculous in SoCal

That's why I have seats that are both heated and ventilated

So, uh, hypothetically speaking, if I kept my second bedroom as a guest room for friends and chosen family to stay in for a very competitive rate, is that something Buffistas might be interested in? Thanks to -t for the idea and deposit on a reservation.

I’m still mulling the idea but good god, please no more roommates. If you count college, I think I’m at around 30.

Awww I’ve had them! After a moderate amount of sternish training.

NO THEY ARE THE BEST. It's in the 30s and 40s in the morning here right now, and I love my heated seats.
