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.

Thanks everyone.

My condolences about Nova, Sheryl.

I’m sorry about Nova, Sheryl.

Yeah, that sounds a little sketch, msbelle. Hope it’s just one of those HR screwups.

Our wings are not tired.

Health~ma to your mom, Matt.

Oh Sheryl, I am so sorry about losing Nova. Please don't feel guilty. She was so loved and knew that.

That is very encouraging news on your cousing, askye. Also, soap operas are my junk food like reality tv is to some others. Total escape from reality.

Sorry about the delay for Mac, msbelle. I know here you often have to show the SS card, which not cool, but it still is done. Just checking citizenship status.

PCP checkup today. He said he wanted me for an hour!! Guess we have lots to discuss.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I wish I had advice on the Amazon thing but I know nothing about hiring processes/policies at the FCs.

Aeryn has taken sleeping in to an extreme lately, coming down to breakfast with less than 10 minutes to spare before she has to log onto school. I finally told her she could come down by 8 or make her own breakfast, and so today she came down at 8:40 (an hour past her last alarm) and fixed herself a plate of breakfast sausage and a giant pile of raisins. I'm not entirely sure who won that round...

Yeah, I'd call that a toss-up. Now I want breakfast sausage.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I’m in the office this week and everything is gearing up for people returning to work, but with not much in place for guidelines.

My boss had me request for all employee COVID info on the intranet to be removed.

Admin leave which had been freely flowing for any COVID testing, exposure, or illness has basically been stopped. But no announcement about that to everyone.

Mask mandates are done, but they are not sharing how many employees have been vaccinated (and they have access to that data).

Intriguing combination! I think the winner there is Bowel Movement.

I'm letting Matilda sleep in until 11:30 today. But I've gotten her to reluctantly commit to doing a morning run with her friend Iris on Friday.

I don't remember how old Aeryn is now, because they age way too fast, but I do remember the boys going through stages where they slept crazy amounts of time. I always thought it was nuts that HS started so early in the morning because almost all of them are zombies in the early morning.

Thrive to spite them

Mom gave up the fight over breakfast pretty early.. as long as I ate something and checked before I ate leftovers from dinner (In case she was going to use them) she didn't care what I age.

I wouldn't eat cereal for breakfast but I would eat it as a snack . But I'd have a tuna sandwich for breakfast. I can't explain why tuna sandwich is more appealing appealing breakfast than cereal or eggs but it is.

Laura, she's 10 and has always needed a lot of sleep - she kept her afternoon nap almost until kindergarten. This year she's been getting worse and worse at getting up on time for school since there hasn't been a bus schedule to keep.

(By contrast, Dylan, who turns 14 next week, has never needed ANY sleep and regularly wakes up at 5:30am and he doesn't even mind.)
