To which the appropriate response might be TL;DR?
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Hil.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, Brenda!
The government also runs on acronyms, even if most of them weren’t words. I specialized in laws such as EFTA, TISA, EFAA, and SCRA. I was less expert in, but at least familiar with, FCRA, TILA, UDAP, and RESPA. Then there was legislation like FIRREA, FDICIA, GLBA, DFA, and I kid you not, EGRPRA.
Sometimes things could be confusing. Depending on the context, FTCA could mean Federal Trade Commission Act or Federal Tort Claims Act.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My aunt is doing somewhat better. She was able to talk to her son on the phone for about ten minutes -- before, she wasn't breathing well enough to do that.

That sounds promising, Hil.
Yay, Brenda!
My delicious Indian food arrived before the end of my last meeting of the day, and now I'm sitting here listening to people report out, staring longingly at a bag full of yum.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Best wishes for your aunt, Hil.

Covid update: still no superpowers. Unless I have a weird Umbrella Academy superpower that I don't know I have until I try it, like Diego's trajectory manipulation. Let me go throw a knife and I'll let you know.
