Thanks dcp. I'll let them know. He won't be doing chemo. His wife passed away from breast cancer and after watching her experience he decided he wouldn't do chemo if he ever got cancer.

Actually he and my aunt had a big conversation about their relationship and what would happen if one of them got very sick (he is about 10 years older than her) and his kids will be taking on a lot of caregiving when it comes to that. My aunt has spent most of her adult life as a caregiver and her partner didn't want her to take that on again.

That sounds like they are well prepared, askye, but I’m sorry they have to go through it

And that’s certainly sus, Sophia!

Oh, ugh, I’m sorry. John Oliver and Guinness cake sounds good

I thought of y'all when I saw that. Has he actually gotten anything from that, out of curiosity?

He worked his last day more than two weeks ago, completed off boarding paperwork, and sent back his ID and laptop. He is supposed to continue to be paid until September and so far (once) he has been paid as expected.

Good, I hope that keeps up

I just updated our Lego set spreadsheet and we have 61 sets. (It’s spring break, and the latest, the Endurance, has just been built.)
