  1. So, just when I think things are settling down, and life is beginning to approach normal once more, my car decides to die. This is not simply a case of spending a week with its favorite mechanic. Oh, no. This is a case of the computer no longer talking to any of its sensors, resulting in a very large paperweight that looks quite a bit like a Jeep. 

    The daft one and I are going car shopping tomorrow. Hide the whiskey...

      And just when there’s a chip shortage, too. Not convenient. Good luck on the car hunt.

  2. Coincidental to my birthday, it’s national PEANUT day!  How thoughtful :)

  3. Happy birthday! :hug: :wish: :2tubs: :party:

    ‘Tis also my daft one’s birthday, just to stretch that coincidental thing a bit further.

  4. Got an outline to a possible Halloween story, might contribute this year.

  5. A very happy birthday to @foeofthelance and hoping this year brings lots of good things for you! See you at Ren Faire, lad, and I’ll stand you a mead! :birthday: :cheers: :party: :beer:

  6. Sending birthday wishes to my darling @pippychick and wishing you all the very best for this year, and all the years to come. Love you! :wub: :hug: :wish: :party:

  7. Found this excellent gardening tip on facebook!

    REMEMBER: When you bury a body, cover it with endangered plants so it’s illegal to dig it up.

      Poison ivy is also a valid choice. Although personally, I prefer sacred burial grounds: People almost never dig them up, and when they do, they expect to find a body.

  8. That moment, after you crawl in bed, that you think of the perfect line of dialogue!  Time to forget sleeping.

  9. I feel like there is a whole untapped subgenre of what happens when a zombie apocalypse gets worse.

    *Werewolf howls*

    or demons escaping hell or vampires going crazy as they try to find the last living humans before they go totally feral.

    or even suddenly it goes disaster movie.

      Has there ever been a movie (or book or videogame or whatnot) in which vampires team up with humans against the zombies because the zombies are destroying the vampires’ food supply?

  10. Wishing the very happiest birthday ever to my sweet Neko-baby, WillowDarkling! I hope this year brings dreams come true, love! :happykitten: :kittenpurr: :birthday: :bday: :wub:

  11. I don’t really get dystopian scifi. Isn’t the real world bad enough? Or is the idea to make the real world look better by comparison?

  12. The happiest of birthdays to @Melrick, and hoping this year brings nothing but good things for you! :hug: :wub:  :birthday:

      50 is kind of an anticlimax, because you spend a whole year worrying about it after you turn 49. :)

  15. writer question.

    I heard an editor complain that people overuse “ “

    i’m a bit confizzled how else are you supposed to inform the reader that talking/conversation is taking place?

  16. So I'm working on a Star Vs the Forces of Evil story, and I was amazed when I started typing the phrase "magical princess from another dimension" -- which I had last typed several months ago -- and my phone actually pulled up the correct next word. At least, up to a point.

    magical
    princess
    from
    another
    recipe

    Good try, phone, good try.

  18. Around this time last year, we were dealing with devastating fires and serious water restrictions.  Now we’re having record rainfalls and devastating floods.  At least you can’t say we don’t have variety in Australia!

      Just throw in some earthquakes, and you could call Australia “The Southern Southern California.”

  19. Quick question: Which of these three sentences do you find most readable? Assume that the speaker has only one boyfriend and one daughter, and that Randy also has only one daughter.

    "This is my boyfriend Randy, my daughter Evie, and Randy's daughter Rose."

    "This is my boyfriend, Randy, my daughter, Evie, and Randy's daughter, Rose."

    "This is my boyfriend, Randy; my daughter, Evie; and Randy's daughter, Rose.

      @BronxWench A semicolon slut? Where have you been all my life?

      @JayDee This isn’t so much about grammatical correctness as readability. Which sentence is the most quick and easy to understand?

  20. Got my first covid shot.  I’ll have a second opinion in four weeks.

    1. GeorgeGlass

      GeorgeGlass

      Most people I know who’ve had the immunization didn’t have much reaction to their first shot. Reaction to the second shot varied substantially; I felt a little off for a day, my wife had a fever for 3 days.

  21.  I honestly don’t see Trump hanging out with this group.

      Ah, right, I’d forgotten that Nixon managed to quit before the House could impeach him. That’s an even better argument for him being a better president than Trump. Frankly, if I had to choose between the two, I’d take Nixon in a heartbeat. But he’d have to bring Gerald Ford along, not Spiro Agnew (who was all too Trump-like himself).

      Trump even makes Tricky Dick look good. At least he was only impeached once.
