'Safe'
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.

Toddson, based on my late feline overlords and Ken's current one, that strikes me as extremely plausible.
Dear service people, call and tell me my car's finished? I don't want to drive over the Narrows Bridge in a downpour, please and thank you. (I've done it, but do not like.)
The city's online system is a disaster - they'll announce a certain number of appointments (for higher priority people) and when many, many more try to book an appointment, it crashes. I ended up registering with MedStar, since I get most of my healthcare through their doctors at the hospital (it's a teaching hospital, so I'm often dealing with interns - one of whom had no idea how to deal with someone who had HAD MEASLES - who consult with a more experienced doctor as needed). They didn't have appointments available immediately, but asked if I'd like to be on their waiting list, which is how I got my appointments after not too long.
I'm so sorry, msbelle
And still no communication with people, no posts on social media. I am sure there are some emails and texts flying about, but ugh. We have here. This place helps me process our shared losses.
msbelle, I know one friend of your friend who is not wanting to post anything on social media because they don't know who knows (it is still delightfully weird to me that you and I have some of this other group in common, btw). Glad you have here. Glad we all have here. Here is good.
Here is good.
I’m very sorry msbelle.
Here is good.
I'm so sorry, msbelle.
Randomly, I discovered yesterday, I think, that you know someone I went to college with. We aren't FB friends, but he'd probably (?) recognize me? We weren't friends in school, really, but definitely the "acknowledge as you passed" and knew names kind of thing. I know I thought he was a nice guy; I remember that much. Anyway, I don't know why FB popped him up for me, but when I clicked, I saw a convo with you, your brother, and him about knitting.
You guys talking about ice cream last night forced me to go buy some at, like, 9:30p. That's right. I blame you. It was good, though, so it's OK. And the Magic Shell was all on me.
I don't know if I have every tried Magic Shell. I like a basic chocolate syrup, for sure - Hershey's or U-bet or whatever
My condolences, msbelle.
Did it strike anyone how weird that golden statue of Trump was at CPAC? He rather famously has such strong support from the evangelical right and there is a golden idol at CPAC?
In my heart of hearts some flamboyantly fabulous scenic designer (who knows his scripture, thank you very much) took the gig because he's COVID-broke and IS TOTALLY SCREWING WITH THEM.
I can't decide if his name is Chance or Blaize.
JenP, Dani?
