How awful, Plei! I'm so sorry.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh no, Plei!

Oh Plei! That is terrible. Much ~ma to you all.
And sorry I have been reading along on a delay here and never saying anything! Please know I have been thinking all of the appropriate reactions.
Agreed. I am trying. We need our people more than ever. I am watching The Pitt, and they just had a lady who was an online gamer in Pittsburgh who had a stroke, and she was brought to the ER because she missed a game. Someone from Mumbai called someone in Houston, who called Pittsburgh for a welfare check, and she seems to be saved.

Oh no, Plei! I'm sorry about your folks' house.
I had Mom over for lunch today, and not only did Molly not immediately flee to hide, Jackson actually put up with being petted for a bit.

That was literally the origin of Beep Me, so we’d know when we didn’t need to go all commando when somebody wasn’t around for a day or two.

Oh, Plei! I'm so glad your family is safe, but that's just heartbreaking.

That's why I am trying to check in more. Someone might notice and send help! That and nostalgia for better times, when I was on the morning crew.

My Mom and I swap our Wordle scores every morning and say hi. My brother and family are only 10 minutes from her if something happened.

Our wings are not tired.
My niece calls my sister every day from the car to and from work, which we all appreciate. I need to find a method to get my MIL into technology so I can check up on her more regularly. I wonder if I could get her into Wordle. Her daughter does it too. That is a good idea.

My friend D and I Wordle, etc. every morning; he lives alone, so it's our proof of life on the daily. Well, that and the fact that we "work from Zoom" just about all day every weekday, ha!
My aunt, who is 87 and lives alone, is always in daily text touch with her daughter (who lives 5 mins away) and grands, and, frankly, is sprier than I am -- she plays bridge all the time and even taught it to a bunch of her daughter's friends who wanted to learn it. Goals.
