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.

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!

Oh! I did not know you were in the DC area, Cabin. Good to know! (I'm NoVa).

I shovelled the driveway, like all the way into the crappy parts where it meets the road. All clear now! And de-snowed the car. I am feeling quite virtuous.

Lunch time!

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Umm, yeah. I'm surprised so many people remember me. I must be unforgettable!

Like a burr. Or an unwanted houseguest. Impossible to dislodge. ;)

Our wings are not tired.

CaBil, I know we met at some F2F, but I don't have a chance of remembering where.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The local furniture place that sells Stickley furniture is having a Stickley sale. Matilda wants a new chest for her room and I'm thinking of this: [link]

I love this detail: "The top two [drawers] are velvet lined, and the top-right drawer also features a sliding velvet jewelry tray."

Umm, yeah. I'm surprised so many people remember me. I must be unforgettable!

Pfft. You gave me and JZ a ride in your new Prowler at the DC F2F.

Ooh, lovely, David.
