Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

then everyone writes in it and there’s more and more dreck to wade through?

That is definitely a thing. I feel like I see both titles and author names that are trying to trick me into thinking they are something I already like when they are actually crap. But sometimes I think that and they are new to me but actually good! It's hard to navigate

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Success! The Walgreen's delivery *was* for the next-door neighbors; Tim just went next door to double-check, since they hadn't answered the door when I knocked earlier. All is right in the world! Or at least on my street.

Thrive to spite them

Glad the deliveries went to the right place

Lovey has come out of hiding a few times but always escapes back to the guest room before Mom can shut the door. I think she was prioritizing getting medicine over cutting off an escapee route. He actually came out for attention and she said he looked good . No stitches pulled.

There is now rampant speculation about who will be the new store manager and when it will happen .. my team lead was talking to someone else and then looked at me and said "you didn't hear this" and I told him there is a lot of stuff I haven't heard lately.

I made the mistake of reading a transcript from Charlie Kirk.... apparently Russia invaded Ukraine because Harris said that Ukraine wanted to be a member of NATO in a speech and that is not all her fault but mostly her fault.

Our wings are not tired.

AOC tweeted "Dems in disconcerting levels of array" which I love

That is delightful! As is the Walgreen's content getting where it belongs.

Flying back to NY today. No packing because I didn't bring anything down with me. I just need to drag the balcony furniture inside in case of hurricanes. I hosted book club here last night and the others told me they would be happy to come over and drag the stuff in if needed, which was nice, but I'll go ahead and do it. Storms just build so quickly now.

Book club gathering was the first time I have had people over since my mural was painted. One of the women just moved here in July from Italy and was excited to recognize the rendering of the Elbo Room. She is reading the books in Italian but joined our club to practice her English and meet the neighbors. I have so much admiration for people who dive into a new foreign environment. I'd like to think I would have the courage. She said she was proud of herself for grasping about half of what we were saying while we all responded that she sure as hell should be!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Someone described the "vibe" of the Harris/Walz camp as "we're popping popcorn and bullying fascists"

I like it.

I love that!

Yeah I’m impressed by the attempt to discuss in another language. I’d be lost and exhausted.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Skip/skim reading.

Anyone else feel like their on a forever moving too fast merry go round, but simultaneously feel like your doing nothing?

Today’s been a bleargh. Boss, who processes and goes about things much differently than me tells me I’m to present for her at a monthly managers meeting in 10 days. She’s working on the items to present…..so now I’m trying to take away the items from her since unless I work on them I’ll have no idea about them.
