Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Happy Birthday, javachik!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy birthday, javachik! And Dylan!

It is also my uncle's birthday and my parents' 60th anniversary today. We had a big party for their 50th but no one was up for trying to organize anything for this one. I think my uncle still resents his sister getting married on his birthday a little, but it was the only day they both had off from work and could get the church, so.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We are at the Fairfield Inn near JFK.

Happy birthday javachik!

Yes, Dylan is 17 today! We spent close to 2 hours at the bank opening a High School account for him because for some ungodly reason this isn't something you can do online. So we waited for 2 hours while a very junior banker repeatedly failed to enter our personal information into HER computer so we could look at it over her shoulder and nod.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Dad is going to be in the hospital for at least a few more days. The head nurse and the hospital chaplain (“Nice guy, for a G-D pusher”, said Dad) told Dad that “it won’t be necessary”, but that he needed to talk to me about his wishes about DNR and heroic measures.

When I’m back home, I am probably going to fall apart.

Falling apart at home sounds like a good plan.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

As someone who works in a hospital, I strongly encourage all of you to talk to your families and make whatever written plan is appropriate in your locality about DNR and heroic measure.

Atropa, that sounds like an entirely appropriate plan. With ice cream.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday javachik!

Yesterday, Mr. S comes over to me and says "I found this under your bed". It was the credit card I couldn't find. How and why it got under my bed is anyone's guess. I had already canceled it, so I cut it up.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What website are people buying eye glasses from these days?

Always Anti-fascist!

Did Mr. S. take it?(crime fiction made me ask)
