Thrive to spite them

I think a lot of places are depending on your insurance and stuff. Although I did find one place that does mobile rapid testing but it didn't have information about insurance.

Oh dear, I'm trying not to eavesdrop but M's mom is on the phone on speaker with M's sister N. Her oldest son, who is just out of high school... his girlfriend is pregnant. N is on the phone crying right now, I feel so bad. Finding out your first grandbaby is on the way should be exciting but when you aren't even 40 and your son is barely out of high school and you've struggled most of your life and still feel like you are struggling and see that for your son and your future grandson it's more scary. She wanted him to go to college and do things she wasn't able to do.

Three of my local friends have birthdays today too. Good day for human making for sure.

Askye, I'm sorry about M's nephew's situation. I hope they are able to work things out. This reminds me of my HS days. Like back in 1970, my HS Junior Prom King was the popular football star and the Queen the super stunning cheerleader. Both smart and college bound. They didn't come back senior year because he had to go to work and she stayed home with the baby. It was pretty stunning stuff at the time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Thank you! I knew about Lucille Ball, but none of the others, so that was a cool thing to find out. Best gift I got from my husband—a t-shirt with the book cover of “Harriet the Spy” on it. Oh, and a NEW HOUSE.

Gud, can you stay here and talk to us, or get in touch with someone at the Suicide Prevention Hotline? There's a phone number or chat option here: [link]

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

{{{Gud}}} what's going on? Can you talk about it?

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Scrappy!
