Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

In I can apparently still be surprised news, the wackadoodle Cyber Ninjas audit in Arizona results in more votes for Biden and confirms his victory. Did not see that one coming.

I don't know why I'm surprised, too, but I am! Even though now that I think of it, that's literally exactly what's happened with every other audit of this election--angry people pouring a whole lot of time, effort and money into widening the margin by which the former guy lost--so this should have been totally predictable. Still, it's sweet.

I agree with both dcp and Jen--baked goods and succulents!

Dinner last night was lovely and happy-making; it would be wonderful if Chip and Carole could come back and visit again when we have a bigger place, for longer than a single dinner. And I still can't believe that big burly self-assured loving young bear of a man is the same little kid who was amazed and crestfallen when I explained that the voice of SpongeBob was just a regular human.

Awww, that's so sweet.

Sounds like such a wonderful evening! Makes me happy just hearing about it.

I did get a flowering plant, as she has a green thumb. I also got a lovely rustic bent wood basket for the plant, and stopped at the Amish stand and got a big jar of yummy looking black raspberry preserves.

Nice, Laura!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Sounds good (you can visit me any time!).

Several years ago, a friend was trying to come up with a Mother's Day present for her mother. Flowers seemed kind of ... not what she wanted. I suggested buying her rose bushes, which were a hit.

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

Timelies all!

In the latest from my folks, my dad called to tell me that they have been moved to a non-COVID ward. They are both off of oxygen, though my mom is still weak and having trouble eating. Still, it's something.

Thrive to spite them

David & JZ that sounds like a lovely evening.

Sheryl YAY for your parents being moved.

Boo for our chest freezer not working right, M discovered all the food was thawed in it and had to throw everything out. Which, I'm glad I didn't have to face that.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am skipping to say thanks for the Birthday wishes! I think I just finished my personal thanks on Facebook but I get wary of mentioning how we know each other on another platform. So I can’t say enough about how grateful I am for the Buffistas. You support me know through everything and I know I can always find support here…. Also I think I am meeting my sister ( discovered in 23 and me but also I already knew due to super sleuthing) for lunch soon!
