Writer of #SFF. I choose kindness. Still not sure about this Twitter thing. INTP. I am my own evil twin.

The Moderna booster is kicking me around a bit this morning - I feel a bit like I've got a cold. Ugh.

@LexiOHudson @Vanguard_Group I think most big companies now are like what you describe - they discourage phone calls and shuffle you around between departments. I've found this with every big company I've interacted with over the last five years.

@LexiOHudson @Vanguard_Group Ah. We're talking about two different things. I'm talking about the investment funds themselves, you're talking about the administration that runs Vanguard. I don't have any experience with that, only with the underlying funds. /1

@TAMillennial I wonder sometimes!

Got my booster yesterday afternoon, and I'm feeling it this morning. The first two didn't affect me much, but this one has got me eying my easy chair.

@geostylegeo Stupidity is endemic, and I think the only thing you can do is to limit your exposure to it.

OMG I'm trying to arrange a family ski trip and it's like herding cats. It was easier when everyone was younger.

@TAMillennial Is it sad that your ugly wrapping job is better than my best one? I have some skills in life, but wrapping presents is not one of them.

@TAMillennial After my mother died, I answered a note left on the door wanting to buy the property. We agreed on a price, and they wanted to see it... on New Year's Day. I drove 500 km on New Year's Eve, and waited for them at the house. Around noon I called them: they'd sent me /1

@geostylegeo Always. There isn't much point in discussing it otherwise.

My new pinned tweet for the month of December is my Christmas album. It's only appropriate one month outta the year and I'm gonna try to cash in.

You can listen to it for free and as a gift for grandparents, you can't do better. Lalalalalala❤️🎄

@TAMillennial I just listened to O Holy Night. All I can say is you really know how to make a sale... 😀

@SaraNSmit I think your glasses look great.

@AuthorSJB You need a tiny plate for Bertie. Just sayin'.
