Seems you can replace a failing heart valve on a 77 year old woman with stage 4 cancer with barely an incision and have her walking around a few hours later.
Living in the future is kind of amazing!
Aw man, now I want a Reuben.
It was REALLY good.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

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.

Punishingly Intricate
Man, my friend’s bar (& msbelle’s local) caught fire last night. Nobody was hurt but it’s looking like it will take a long time to recover. And such a shitty time for it to happen! This is the second friend to lose their business to fire in the past month here. Wtf is going on??

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes! Your poor friends!

Yep super crapola. I have dinner and a margarita there almost every Monday. It’s a great small staff. The go fund me has reached its first goal, but they are all going to need several months of income.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I got out of the house very early and walked through a quite cold Panhandle to the bakery to get a croissant and treats for my neighbor. Decided to hit up Faletti Market, which specializes in...Legacy Groceries? Venerable old brands often from foreign lands?
Anyway, EM was complaining that she couldn't find Crown Prince Smoked Oysters anymore and Voila! I scored some at Faletti's for her xmas stocking. And I also nabbed Matilda's fav, the British candy bar, Crunchie.
I've made good progress on stuffing stockings, and most of the Nick and Nora pjs are rolling in with the mail.
