Yikes, Dana. That's not a fun thing to have to think about... or do.
Stairs and ankles are total bullshit. Joints in general, really. Bah.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
To be fair, designing joints that work well does seem like an impossible job, but I'm still gonna complain

Friends, what a timeline.
I'm so sorry that I dropped offline like this. Warzone (formally warzone? Who knows) and grief year have been a lot. Much love, and much ~ma to you all.

Shir!! Hello!
I do not want to be back at work after a fun weekend dancing.

Our wings are not tired.
Shir! Sending hugs. You have been missed, but it is more than understandable that you have been offine.

Always Anti-fascist!
As far as stairs, is this where I get to be all "Tried to tell y'all," because I'd like to see them eradicated.(I won't get to, but not from lack of trying.) Shir,,,don't worry about it. I think I've been struggling, but nothing compared to what you have faced.

Nomenclature question: if I mix together garbanzo beans, kidney beans, and green beans, do I have Three Bean Salad? Is it more specific than that? Or less?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Makes me think of Justin Wilson's line: What goes in it? Whatever you got.

Thrive to spite them
JenP I'm sorry about your ankle.
Dana when I had to have my head MRI the tech put a cloth over my eyes . And then when I had my neck MRi I had them do that and I had ear plugs. And that really helped .
Onorous tasks done ! We went to 2nd and Charles (used books, physical media, pop culture stuff ) as a reward and because I had $5 off that expired soon...I thought. It expired on the 6th. This is the second time I messed up. They need to send texts not emails .
Anyway ahead of us we're these two girls that looked like they were teens. Maybe early 20s and they were looking for My Chemical Romance on vinyl. I guess they wanted to find out before looking through all the records.
I got some cheap paperbacks to take to the beach to read and leave there.

Sounds like a fun place to poke around, askye. Congrats on completed tasking!
Shir, so good to see you here and totally understandable that it's not as frequently as you might like. I wish we could fix this fucking timeline right effing now.
