I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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

Yes, thank you!

The status is NOT quo.

Oh, so glad to hear back from Epic. Thank you. Also, hi. As ND mentioned in his earlier post, things have been pretty rough here because the business has had some major and unexpected setbacks in the past six months, which means we are living on one income and loans from my retirement, which, while better than the alternative, isn't the best. I know we will come out of this, but it's hard to believe sometimes.

I’m so sorry y’all are having a hard time. Money, ugh.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Pix and ND, that's so stressful! I hope it resolves soon.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Shana tovah to my beloved Buffistas. Stroke recovery continues to be slow and steady, but at least I haven't fallen down any stairs.

Our wings are not tired.

Surgery~ma for Teppy today. Will she get an evil spine?

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.

Oh! If so, will it be like the one from Helstrom, or maybe more technological like the Borg Queen's?

Surgey~ma, Steph!

Surgery~ma Tep!!

Working from my parents' dining room, let's find out if I remember how to do my job (or perhaps more accurately, can I remember how to care about getting my job done. Not looking great on that front so far)

Easy peasey, routine surgery with best results and good drugs -ma, Teppy!

Surgery ~ma to Steph, though I think by now it is probably recovery ~ma, and I hope the pain meds are working super-duper well!

Glad to hear your recovery is progressing, Karl. Continued good vibes your way.

Pix, I'm so sorry. Financial stress like that is so hard and just permeates every damn thing.

-t - hope your mom continues to do well! So glad she's back home and doing well.

So glad to hear the Epic responded -- echoing the thanks for checking Laura, and dcp.

Spent a nice weekend with my aunt. Back to regular life today.
