Thanks, Laura. I'll send to you and Cass the details.

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

Timelies all!

Had a bit of a scare with my folks. My dad called this morning to say my mom had been feeling poorly so he took her to the hospital. (She was being treated for an UTI.) He just called back an hour ago to say she was dehydrated, had been treated and was going to go home once she got dressed. Whew!

Our wings are not tired.

Good to hear she was taken care of quickly, Sheryl. It is so easy to get dehydrated.

dehydration is such an issue with the elderly! It was so hard to get my dad to drink enough; it turns out he had some problem with his throat that made him feel he was going to choke if he drank much, so he just stopped drinking as much water. (Also of course not wanting to get up and pee four times/night.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It was so fun seeing everybody's face again! And hearing voices.

Thank you, Shir!

It was wonderful to see faces and hear voices. Except now I want to hug people more than ever. This too shall pass and we will see each other F2F again. In the meantime, love to Shir and Nilly for making this happen.

move out and draw fire

I am sorry I missed it and all of you!

I sat in my car at the vet's for 3 hours (curbside only) while they ran a battery of tests and hydrated Kittygirl. She still can't eat or drink and we still don't know what's wrong, so heading to the full animal hospital. It doesn't appear to be kidney disease or any of the -itis-es; maybe an obstruction that didn't show on the first x-ray.

I'm sorry I missed it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Sorry I missed it, too, I had to work today. And I’ll be working tomorrow. And so on.

Ah, Mebane. Is there anything of value there? I think not.

It was definitely fun but weird to see faces and hear voices! And I was super amused when Fiona said in her mind we all have an accent like hers, because of course the opposite is true as well!

Lovely day here, so eventually managed to take dog to the dog park. Also decided I went overboard on the 36" crate (which could probably fit ME) and decided to return and get a 30" crate for my pup. Not sure how much bigger he'll get, and it seemed like 6" more than his current crate wouldn't be enough, but it'll have to bed--the other one takes up half my room!

And my most happy exciting news, the bank gave back my stolen money!! ....now to move away from using Bank of America. I feel RICH now (it was $6k!), even though it's money I had before, which makes me laugh
