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.
I’m the worst mother ever because I’m keeping her home one more day.
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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yep snow. Mac still had PT this morning, just delayed an hour. I opted to not got out and shovel in my boot and getting out of the drive was a bit of a pain. The tires kept spinning and someone parked on the street where it blocked us being able to back out in one try. Still we prevailed and the rest of the drive in was clear.
Really not looking forward to clearing the sidewalks when we get back. Hoping a neighbor feels generous and does mine before we get back.
Hi CaBil nice to see you.

Happy Birthday Pix!
Happy Birthday Maria!
It's rainy and clammy cold here, so I have declared it Wear a Cozy Bathrobe to Work Day.
Hi CaBil, welcome back!

Thanks all!
Not sure if people remember, but I live in the DC area. I don't work for the Feds obviously, but many of my friends do, either directly or as contractors.
Last night, one got fired in all of the DOGE shenanigans. She's worked for the Feds for more than decade, but that didn't matter.
Sigh.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The AMA YouTube page is a very good resource.
The PROmed newsletter is good but nowhere near as user-friendly. They are "the largest publicly-available surveillance system conducting global reporting of infectious diseases outbreaks." They do email updates including a daily wrap up.
Pros: This had me worried about Covid before it was widely talked about in the US.
Cons: This had me worried about Covid before it was widely talked about in the US.
Happy Birthday, Kristin and Maria!

Coding and Sleeping
Ummmm…aren’t there OSHA standards for that, t? Geez.
There may not be OSHA pretty soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There may not be OSHA pretty soon.
Did not think about that until after I got home, but yeah. Working from home the balance of the week regardless
Sorry about your friend, CaBil. Such a mess. I actually tried to watch CSPAN this morning to follow what's being said if not what's happening but I couldn't take it for long.
Best wishes for happy days for Pix and Maria despite all the everything!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
aren’t there OSHA standards for that
I mean, for now. By the end of this week, who knows?
CABIL IS BACK! Hi there!
