I also thought dumbwaiter! But now I'm thinking a Wallace & Gromit style device to deliver buttered toast or something would be a fun project. For someone.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Tim is always willing to tinker with mad science-style contraptions and shenanigans, but included in the fine print is that he cannot guarantee a delivery date. And by "delivery date," I mean "year."

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
Oh no! RIP Randolph Mantooth.

A mini fridge would be great but I’m really just upstairs over night. I’ve been hanging out on the chaise part of my sofa, on the same floor as my kitchen all day. I meant to bring a package of pop tarts up last night but I forgot and I once again woke up for my 4am meds STARVING

Emergency is one of the first shows I remember watching, aside from cartoons. Mantooth had a good run though, at 80.
Lisah, I hope you’re continuing to heal and well fed. My disaster had a knee replacement a few weeks ago. She’s about ready to transition from the walker to a cane.

Lisah try setting an alarm for a tome before you go upstairs with the pop tart reminder
I have to do that a lot to remember stuff to buy before I go home. I think at this point every day has an alarm at 5:50 named things like :Cat food !! Or Coffee, milk, bread, toothpaste. I just turn them on and change my list
