"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Just talked with Nilly. She and her family are OK as well.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Just talked with Nilly. She and her family are OK as well.

Thanks for the update, Shir. You are in our thoughts and hearts.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Thank you, Shir. Echoing what Hec and Atropa said.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Wishing safety your way as well, Shir.

Thanks for the update Shir—I hope you stay safe and this stupidity ends soon. Sigh.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Yes. this. Years of watching "Deadwood" also prepared me for massive, old-timey swearing. Something is making my throat tickle and I'm coughing a little today...it's hot here and the air quality isn't great. Kind of reminds me of the thing Mon had, but I think it's been long enough(and she was having an allergy--long story-- but I don't think I can catch it.)

Shir, sending you and yours all the stay-safe vibes.

Aging is ROUGH and I just feel betrayed by my body.

Last night Grace took me to see Brandi Carlile. I was surprised at the age of the crowd. I asked Grace if she thought I was the same age as most of the attendees (for God's sake Jane Fonda was there!) and she just looked at me with her wobbly eye (that occurs when she doesn't want to do something wrong) and said, No comment. Sigh. Am old.
