I would much rather have you posting than worrying about names, Sophia.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Today in first-world problems: There's a restaurant that has a spaghetti with mushroom and tomato sauce that I ordered once and really liked -- the combination of spices in the sauce was just perfect -- but it's also ridiculously expensive for just pasta and a sauce made of fairly cheap ingredients, so I haven't ordered it again in a while. I just got back to Cincinnati, and I figured I can get something I really like for dinner after being on a plane all day, so I ordered it through DoorDash. It arrived, and it's totally different than it was before -- the sauce is basically just tomatoes and garlic, and the pasta is linguini. It's edible, but very much not what I wanted, and definitely not worth what I paid for it.

Jeezy Creezy, I just replied to Dana in another thread about Pluribus, and that was so stressful! But thank you! Maybe I will get it to learn names!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats Atropa!
Ugh. They have changed the performance evaluation system at work. Not only are they trying to keep down the number of 4 and 5 ratings, they are insisting on a self-analysis of one's performance including listing achievements. Guess I'm not going to be getting many financial awards from now on...

Congratulations on the award, Atropa!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
How I know I'm old: not only am I eating prunes, I also have opinions on the best brand of prunes.
I'm going to go cry into my AARP tote bag now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I like the prunes treated so they have more potassium. I'm old in just too many ways.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Congratulations Atropa!
So a bottle of wine I was given for Christmas that said it was good with shellfish and I hit Whole Paycheck and bought some Dungeness crab and I ate them last night while watching YouTube videos on the theory that even if this doesn't make things all better, at least I had nice French wine and crab. We're calling it Self Care.
