Condolences and hugs, PMM. I'm so sorry.
And goddamnit, Ken Dryden slipped away from us last night. Great goaltender, brave politician, and apparently an all-around decent human being. Fuck cancer.
Who died and made you Elvis?

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.

Jeez, Tep, stop hogging all the malady!
Just trying to fit all I can into the month of September. Maybe I'll get scurvy next.

Unlikely. You need limes for guacamole, and we all need guacamole to live.

Trust me, I don't. I love it, but it does not love me back. (One strange thing I shared with Jacqueline, iirc. being...oil-crossed with avocado.) ETA: in other star-crossed news, hey, Karl. No oil there, either. So far.

You know, I haven’t had guacamole in a while. Maybe that’s the root of my problems.
Mmmmmm, guacamole.

Wishing you easy fixes to your tooth problem, Steph.
Happy Birthday, flea!
The other night I ran across the new-to-me music comedy YouTube channel The Key of Awesome, about a decade and change late: [link]
It has lots of fun musical parodies that I stayed up way too late watching. Though they came with a price—their parody of "One Thing" resulted in the horrifying discovery that I like a One Direction song.

I hope the tooth stuff gets fixed quickly and painlessly, Steph.
I got my COVID and flu vaccinations today. I’m 99.7% sure it’s psychosomatic, but I generally feel loggy after getting my shots. Eh, I had nothing else major to do today.

Erika, I do a pretty good hench, if I do say so myself. Let me know if you need a minion.
(Seriously, congratulations -- it's well-deserved.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
It is finally cool enough outside that I can comfortably open my sliding glass door and close the screen door. This means that I can now hear their chirps and their humming wings as the hummingbirds come and go from the feeder. So delightful.
