Many Happies to both Gud and Sean!
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Happy birthdays!
Yesterday I found out that my boss, when he was 18, got cited for drag racing with Mike Tyson. Which is extremely random and yet entirely surprising.
ETA : unsurprising! That should say unsurprising.

Happy birthday, Sean and Gudanov!
Work is stressing me out. Some of it is good—the responsibility for a major, high visibility project. But some of it is not. Maybe the major, high visibility project will impress someone up north and they'll help me out of this humid, kudzu infested hellscape.
But hey, I have a 2-day work week next week, so that'll be nice.

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.
My great-grandparents' home is back on the market.
Jim says he is very sorry, but he cannot buy the property and teleport it here: we would, in fact, have to live in Pennsylvania. I think this is a failure of imagination on his part. LOOK what those heathens did to the kitchen, never mind the bathroom! That price, I could afford to bring in people who knew what they were doing in to put it right, provided I could distract my dad with something shiny to keep him from assuming the general contractor role . . . .
(This is the moment when Bev and Plei and Atropa rush in, sit on me, hide the keyboard and sing the "No More Old Houses" song until I come to my senses.)

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
The thought of the Seattle peeps saving Parker from herself is going to make me smile all day.

But - but - they kept the sunroom mosaic tile! Most of the woodwork's unpainted and I think the pocket doors are intact! (All right, the goobers painted the picture rail, but at least it's still there.) I could put gas coal baskets in four of those fireplaces and it would look amazing! Those curtains are a TRAVESTY; if I showed Jim's mom those pictures I'd have a FedEx envelope full of linen samples 20 minutes after I signed the paperwork.
I COULD FIX IT.

Our wings are not tired.
Cute, and very fixable, but yeah, the location is problematic.
Do people have plans for the holiday weekend?

I took a chance with my vaccinated self and went to the Korean spa. New place I hadn’t been to. The facilities were nice, the body scrub was good, but omg maybe the worst massage I’ve ever had.

Party tomorrow that's combined Memorial Day/Tim's Dad's birthday. First time the whole family will be getting together since Christmas of 2019, so yay!

Nice! It should be nice to see everyone together. Enjoy.
We have a BBQ to go to Sunday. That should be good. Son Bobby and family will be there too. The usual suspects are coming on Monday to shoot pool instead of Sunday. I may fire up the grill for them. Alas, we have work to do tomorrow.
