Yes. We are terribly old. It is very sad. But we are still managing to straggle up to our keyboards so all is well. We are why I get all in a snit about people who disparage internet communities. We have been together through birth and death and marriages and divorces and illness and good fortune. It is not fake people! This is not a fake relationship. I have known you over a decade, as opposed to internet disparagers whom I have only known the merest smidgen of time. Harumph.
 
In unrelated news: peach jam on french bread is nom.

Whippersnapper. I remember when there was no board! We had to publish our posts the old-fashioned way...uphill...in the snow...

both ways...without feet...

" Next time look around before you get out of your car. Be thankful that nothing actually happened. It was a positive experience to make you more aware."

Sounds like a great example of mansplaining!

Glad for good interview, smonster.

I am flying to Baltimore this afternoon for some time with my parents and the family friends that lost their matriarch and patriarch a couple years ago for a musical celebration/memorial.

Just had a conversation with my sister that makes me think that my grandmother is not long for this world. At (almost) 94, it's not unexpected of course, but any ~ma that she is comfortable and maybe hangs on till I can see her a week from today would be much appreciated.

Nathan is posting pics of NY, just a block away from my old office. NOT FAIR. hrrmph. stupidimaginarycelebrityboyfriend.

Remember when we had to write our posts using nails and our own blood for ink, and then tie them to the legs of pterodactyls to deliver them to the server... and then most of the time the pterodactyl would just eat the post because of the blood on it....

And carrying all those 0s and 1s was hard, because they're SO HEAVY!

Oh, man, I was just on the stupidest conference call ever. At least I was at home in my jammies.

I've gotta admit, Frankenbuddha, that's one of the few marches that would tempt me.

Right, exactly. When he announced it, I was like "huh, that would be one to make" and then I did the calculations in my head and realized where I'd be that day.

If the weather is good, then my daughter will get to go to her very first march on the Mall!

I think weather is going to be the determining factor. Although as long as it isn't torrential rain, I might brave it anyway.

I know that my social worker thinks it is sad that I have such a big online life. He does not say so explicitly, but they are not deep.You don't have to be that guy on Lie to Me to get that.

And carrying all those 0s and 1s was hard, because they're SO HEAVY!

I'm so proud of myself that I actually know what this means!
