Thanks all for the welcomes. Trying to remember which threads I was subscribed to, and so on...
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

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.

Does the flu vax help with bird flu?
Our cat goes out on the patio from time to time and there are birds that hang around so I guess fun time is over for her for awhile.

Does the flu vax help with bird flu?
Sadly, it does not. Viruses are jerks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Where did JZ work? I feel like I had some clinical placement dealings with them (UCSF?)
Correct! UCSF.
Not to be confused with USF (University of San Francisco) which is where Matilda was accepted.

oh, interesting thing that has changed. I work a decent number of conventions now, like 10-15 in the year. This is actually one of my busy stretches.
Last weekend: Farpoint Convention, a sci-fi/Star Trek con in Baltimore
This weekend: KatsuCon, an anime con in National Harbor which is DCish
Next Weekend: Dreamation, a rpg/board game convention is Morristown, NJ
Next Next Weekend: Cold Wars, a historical miniatures/gaming convention in Gettysburg, PA
Anyone going to any of those, let me know, we can do a meetup!

ltc was fever free all day yesterday, but today she has a slight fever again. She also coughed a lot last night. I’m the worst mother ever because I’m keeping her home one more day.

Hi CaBil! Sadly, I’m not really getting to conventions much these days. I’ll have to see what there is in the greater Detroit area.

Our wings are not tired.
First, let us celebrate this day when our beloved Buffistas Pix and Maria were born. Wishing you both an abundance of joy, this day and always.

She may think so, but this sounds sensible to me.

Happy Birthday to Pix!
Happy Birthday to Maria!
May you both have a happy day today and many more in the coming year.
We are snowed in but nowhere to go anyway, so it's all good. DH already shovelled the walk and sidewalk, yay! I will do the driveway (well, the parts that need doing) in a few.
Think I'll make some hot cocoa this morning. Seems right.
