In other news: Little OR has somehow picked up the use of the phrase "per se". 

I was asking him whether he was finished in the bathroom.  Him:  "Well, Daddy, I haven't washed my face yet, per se..."

Heh.  But, warn him of the dangers of per-se-flage...

In #6 Kosh's Shadow said: Finished the Amazon AWS test, survey, etc.

Here's hoping your Amazon test brings you a veritable Rio de la Plata.

So...the new Broadway musical that needs to be written and produced: "Thoroughly Militant Mollie," a musical about a woke college babe who finds out that "wokeness" isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Are people planning to be at the Pub tonight? Deciding whether to post a thread or not.

First link doesn't function.  Second link makes me want to kill the entire band.

This should work for the first link.


And  I really have no problem with your other comment.

We came down for one last trip to my mom's place in Florida.  It has sold; I came to get some personal items and have one last visit.  I've been coming here for 46 years.

My sister had arranged with the housekeeper that she could take certain items after I'd left.  She came yesterday and mostly cleaned out the place.  Called her, but she won't answer the phone.  I've reported it to the HOA (for whom the woman works) but she took my grandmother's china - the main thing I'd come to collect.  But took the tvs, the dining room chairs, all the end tables, nearly all the lamps, all the cookware, food I'd bought in January preparing for my return, the towels, all the hangers.  The FUCKING PILLOWCASES. 

There are sheets for the kids beds and the bed in the master bedroom. And I was able to scrounge a couple of pillows.  But I'm really pissed. I want the china.

Had a few items disappear from my father's house, but it was more trouble than it was worth to file an insurance claim.
