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.

Nice, Trudy

Congrats Atropa!

Glass you caught the scammer before they did some damage.

Speaking of prunes. I saw a video of a mom whose little one needed to eat more fruit (I guess constipation is an issue) and the mom was like ...my kid won't eat kid friendly fruit and the Dr suggests prunes? But she made this smoothie with a bunch of fruit and a couple of prunes and then turned them into popsicles. Because her kid loves popsicles and will eat them

I am not huge fan of smoothies but I bet it I made them into popsicles I would like those. Especially topped with some Magic Shell chocolate sauce ...

Protein popsicles are a staple in my house with mom. Even when her appetite is complete bullshit she'll eat popsicles.

I'm thinking I might use that comp day I still have from the outlet sale to take the 20th off and go to El Cerrito
