Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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!
