91% match to both Miranda Hobbes and M. And, really, I can't argue with that.

88% match to Raymond Holt, which just made me laugh.

Rachel Chu (Crazy Rich Asians): 88% Felicity Smoak (Arrow): 88% Kaylee Frye (Firefly + Serenity): 87% Dr. Ellie Sattler (Jurassic Park): 86% Dr. Claire Browne (The Good Doctor): 86% Belle (Beauty and the Beast): 85% Janet (The Good Place): 84%

That was fun. I like the slider much better than fixed answers.

Hope you are having a calmer day, Teppy. Having a solid plan is good, and having your brother is awesome. Give him a big birthday hug.

My camp is a construction zone. That is nothing new to me. Going bowling later with #1 son and GF. #2 son's 27th birthday is tomorrow but he is in Hilton Head for the weekend with the fam. Otter Lake has its annual community Meet & Greet at the local pub today, but we decided not to attend. Lots of people in a small place. At least 40% are not vaccinated, and those of course will be the unmasked ones. We have managed to stay Covid free despite knowing so many that haven't, and just don't want to blow it now.

I tried the quiz and didn't know most of the tv characters.. I think I did something wrong.

Sending lots of ~ma to you Teppy.

I'm having a day. I didn't sleep well last night but usually I can nap a bit and make it to work, I was sleeping super sound and the timer I had set went off and I just... I felt like I was drugged. I sounded like I was drugged. I called work & the person who answered immediately asked "are you alright?" and I said no, and then because it seemed easier at the time I said I thought I had taken my sleep medicien by accident and she said "yeah, you can't come in, go back to sleep". So I did and I feel... somewhat better but not fully with it.

And then I was eating lunch and realized my tongue scraped against something and a part of an upper molar has broken off. I missed my last dentist appointment (actually 2x because I was rescheduled and missed that) but I have had a cleaning in the past year. I don't really want to go to the dentist but I should get this checked out sooner rather than later.

I'm sure you're shocked that all my answers were still round numbers.

I am so overdue for a dentist appointment. But, ever since my implant, I've used the UCSF dental school as a dentist and I have been lazy about figuring out what their system is now that the student flow has been disrupted.

My birthday present to E turned out meant me buying Minecraft Java Edition so we can play together. He was very patient and amused as I fell to my death a lot and failed miserably at jumping. I need to go practice for next time.

Sounds like you needed the sleep, askye. My 11 yo nephew is quite addicted to Minecraft. My sister (his grandmother) and his mother play with him, but it is not my thing.

I've thought about dentistry as it has been a really long time, but ugh. I used to go to the dental school, but it is an hour each way drive. So between the chore of finding a local dentist and Covid, it just hasn't happened.

I didn't know most of the characters either, but I picked out the top ones I did know.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Tim is very busy finding the matching fitted sheet, top sheet, and pillowcase for the squooshy air mattress for my brother. The funny part there is that *we* don't even have matching pillowcases on our bed!

On Monday besides calling the dentist I also need to call the vet and make an appointment for Scrappy. He had what I thought was an abscess on his mouth last month and we took him to the vet and it was cut and swollen and he had an infection. Then he seemed to get another cut under his chin but it seemed to be healing and then it was like the scabbing was moving up to the other side of his mouth-which is now swollen.

I have no idea what is going on but it seems like it's more than just a cut or something. But he doesn't act like it's bothering him, he lets us pet his head and scratch his chin (not on the scabbed area) and he even sat in my lap and purred the other day so.. I dunno.

August is not been a great month

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Interesting. Jonathan Byers (Stranger Things): 86%, Ariadne (Inception): 84%, Margo Dunne (Gone Girl): 84%, Remus Lupin (Harry Potter): 83%, Nomi Marks (Sense8): 83%, Willow Rosenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer): 82%, Daniel Jackson (Stargate SG-1): 82%. Skipping a few, I like this odd cluster... Stevie Budd (Schitt's Creek): 78%, Ben Hargreeves (The Umbrella Academy): 78%, Will Graham (Hannibal): 78% I mostly seem to be a solid supporting character. I'd be interested in seeing how many ratings were submitted for each show.
