Ah, yes, the Noun Department
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.
'Potential'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, poor Matilda, and poor her parents!
I'm glad ltc is OK!!
I am proud of myself for realizing that getting a covid test today in preparation for Easter with family means I can't run errands on Saturday. So I just ordered candy from Target to be delivered. Phew!

Going for the final walk through of the old apartment at 10a, yay. Other than, you know, the cats having destroyed part of the cheap ass carpet they have there. Meh.

Whee, JenP!
Upon reflection, I think I would prefer to work in Conjunction Junction

I found the whole "I'm only a bill" song to be very helpful when I first started working in DC.
For a change of pace, what I think is one of the best scenes from Babylon 5.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So there's potential good news on Matilda's summer front. Although, at this point, I expect the gods to just dangle good things in front of her just to snatch them away again.
1) JZ contacted Parks and Rec and they corrected Matilda's status, so she's eligible to apply for summer jobs. No guarantee of getting one as they have more applicants than jobs, BUT they DO have a girl's softball camp and she does have three years of experience. And babysitting experience. And crafting and arts experience. Anyway, I have to pull her out of her jewelry class early tonight because she has to do a Zoom job interview. Not too much pressure for the 14 y.o.
2) We have heard rumors but nothing official yet that Matilda's beloved sleepaway camp may in fact do SOME kind of summer session, especially for the kids like her who would be aging out of being a camper.
If both of those things happened, life would get infinitely for her.

Good luck to Matilda! Very glad Parks&Rec corrected her status, that is so frustrating when things like that disrupt all potential for good outcomes.
That's awesome, Toddson. I know I watched Babylon 5 back in the day, perhaps it's time to rewatch. As I recall, I had to hunt around for it on independent over the air channels and got the episodes out of order and probably missed a lot, a bingewatch once would probably be an entirely different experience.
I have goods on an Evergreen ship that does not appear to be stuck anywhere. I wonder how long seeing their vessel names will make me shake my head and laugh at them a little...

What's your function?

I'm holding every good thought for Miss Matilda. Enough is enough.
