We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, I love my phone tracking all kinds of weird things for me. I realize this is not my most normal trait. But a bluetooth inhaler sounds pretty cool.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Thank you, Teppy!

The inhaler does what, now? {backs carefully away from the oversharing prescription device}

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

Timelies all!

Yay for Buffista offspring getting vaccinated!

THey sound fun, amyparker! I will have to try to remember to check them out next time I am in SLC (last time I was in SLC was a couple decades ago, so I will probably need a reminder)

I just don't want my lung data accessible to god only knows who. Maybe alien overlords!

Though it would be helpful if the inhaler could connect with the (replacement because my husband is a THIEF) bluetooth speaker and twice a day just yell "STEPH USE THE INHALER NOW!!!" But I guess I could just set an alarm on my phone for that.

Our wings are not tired.

Now I want to go to SLC and visit that bar. We went to my favorite local bar last week. Staff and patrons were mixed on mask wearing. Our waitress was one of the few (outside) wearing a mask. I tipped her extra because it is hot here and no doubt it was uncomfortable for her.

I feel so bad for my DP. He has a sacroiliac... thing?... that is making it super painful to walk. Saw ortho Monday, got steroids to help with inflammation, but didn't do much good. Has Flexiril (sp?) now, but still not much help. Getting an MRI on Monday. The plan is PT, but they wanted some inflammation (presumably) relief first. Pain sucks.

Meanwhile, the car warranty "final" courtesy calls are coming twice a day. What is it with those? I mean, technically, I don't even own a car! Leave me alone, you scammers! Also, learn the definition of final.

Right? Alien overlords would totally do that for you.

This is what I want to know. What are they hoping to gain? Are they going to try to talk you into an "extended warranty" and ask for CC info? Or if you "press 9 to be taken off this list", what does that gain them? Clearly you're not going to give them CC info for an extended warranty that you have no intention of buying. Is it really just CC info, or is there some sophisticated phone witchery that I don't know about that they can use if they can only get you to pick up...

That’s great news about your son and his GF, Laura!

I’m so happy to see more people getting vaccinated.
