That was supposed to be dinerish. And I’d barely had any mimosa at that point!
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.
Trump is off the ballot in Colorado because of the 14th amendment, and his seditious behavior:
Well, pending appeals. Caveat caveat. I do hope more states try this. Can’t win if he’s not on the ballot.

It'll go to the Supreme Court. The one that he stacked. So we'll see.
I'm just gonna enjoy the fact that he must be super-grumpy and throwing a tantrum about it.

Susan, Casper is now in the middle of her third gap year and is not interested in college so I understand your fears. But she’s also working full-time and is self-managing (while living free in our house) and is thinking about starting an IRA with all her money and is a perfectly lovely person to live with. She's reading us LOTR out loud in the evenings after she gets home from work and delights in using her money to buy us Christmas presents. She’s only 20. There are a lot of paths.

I would have benefitted immensely from a couple of gap years working -- I just needed more time in the ol' oven, really. (My mother would have flipped at the concept. ETA: Actually, so would BackThenJen have flipped at the concept; I was so rigid, poor noodle.)

And another conspiracy theory about how the left-wing radicals did this to him.
I've been buried in the work stuff so skimming. Love to all.
I'm not doing Christmas this year as it was just too much on top of my current to-do list. I'll do it again next year. Just a break from it.
Thanks, y'all! I'm feeling a bit better this morning, not least because Alex seems to be proactively making plans to talk to the Seattle Promise folks about his options and isn't letting the situation throw him into a doom loop.
