Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Our wings are not tired.

I hope when your mom came back she brought pie.

We stopped for dinner on the way home from a soccer game this afternoon. My favorite diner with all kinds of wonderful classic diner foods. I had an egg salad sandwich on homemade bread, which was delish. They always have a large assortment of yummy pies, but I can never have both food and dessert, so I brought home a slice of chocolate peanut butter cream pie. I try and get different kinds, last couple times it was cherry and coconut cream. The crusts are soooo good.

My great-nephew had a 5K this morning. Came in 1st in his age group and 3rd overall. Then he had a soccer tournament this afternoon, after the first game last night. Ah, to have the energy of a 16-year-old.

eta: x-post with dcp - good that she is responding. I was worried.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Thanks for checking on her, y'all.

Punishingly Intricate

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

Yes, thank you!

The status is NOT quo.

Oh, so glad to hear back from Epic. Thank you. Also, hi. As ND mentioned in his earlier post, things have been pretty rough here because the business has had some major and unexpected setbacks in the past six months, which means we are living on one income and loans from my retirement, which, while better than the alternative, isn't the best. I know we will come out of this, but it's hard to believe sometimes.

I’m so sorry y’all are having a hard time. Money, ugh.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Pix and ND, that's so stressful! I hope it resolves soon.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Shana tovah to my beloved Buffistas. Stroke recovery continues to be slow and steady, but at least I haven't fallen down any stairs.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Oh! If so, will it be like the one from Helstrom, or maybe more technological like the Borg Queen's?

Surgey~ma, Steph!
