A friend of mine, very active in the local S/F Fandom, died yesterday. According to her husband, she died peacefully in her sleep.

But since she was the director of the Darkover science fiction convention, it kind of scrags a lot of fandom.

For any of you into classic Brit comedy, Captain Peacock's gone.

For those of you who aren't, it's a nice day here today.

ice wine toes- because a bottle I was chilling fell out of the fridge onto the laundry room floor. There was not even a drop left in the shattered bottle to taste. :(

Kitchen funnel, upside down, breathe the fumes often, try not to fall down in the glass when the alcohol hits you.

Just a suggestion LOL.

Another confirmation I'm getting old when I wake up to a couple inches of fresh clinging snow that makes everything look like a Christmas card and say "FUCK! I don't want to go out in that.". :(

I've been at work for almost five hours and have had only one customer, who didn't want to talk or buy from me.

I'll go downstairs and stoke the furnace, LOL.

If I don't warm up and warm down when training, bits stop working for days.

Only having 2 days of vacation left. :(

Could be worse. I go back to work Wednesday night.

:rofl:

"But where do you keep your furnace?"

She still chuckles and says "they really should have one just in case"

my smartest chickadee being put on special pupil progression- and knowing what that means for the rest.

Plainly and simply, you don't need a furnace in the tropics. Told her once, told her twice . . . .

Maybe she's right. It drops below 60F in the depths of winter.

:cool:

The poor workers at the gas plant in Tavares, Florida.

The news is still breaking, but it's not looking good.

Not sure when I will have internet at new place.
