@pancho247365 @Rcub1721 Ah. Graduated back in '86, but have pretty much stayed in the area ever since. Elk Grove, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Geneva, Lombard, Villa Park, and now Wheaton.
@NoContextTrek I needed this. Thanks for being around. I rely on three "Friday" accounts to get me by, and one of them (@FridaySailer) is going away. Down to two now: you and @CraigWeekend.
@Jiggywit_Zay@FridaySailer I'm not finding that Bluesky account in a search, but there are a few other accounts I KNOW are there and won't come up either. Account search is wonky still.
@sammyg0811@FridaySailer Agreed. There are three "it's the weekend" bumps I look for every Friday and it always feels a little hollow until they're all posted. I'm going to have to get used to a new normal.
@hellolanemoore Some of us sometimes hold out our hands to figure out which one makes an "L" shape, and use our knuckles to figure out the "day thing." https://t.co/1qTZJMovpO

@RichR11511@Trendy2Chic@johnpavlovitz "No, you see, everything is doing so well because the markets EXPECTED him to win. He doesn't get enough credit for that." /s (That's almost word-for-word what he was saying in fall 2016. He wanted "credit" for the good parts of that period, but none of the blame for the dips.)
@northstardoll My mom used to be glued to Wheel of Fortune. If you stare too hard, you sometimes can't solve it - you get stuck on the wrong track. I'd sometimes wander in from the next room, solve it, then keep going. It would p*ss her off. :)
@amor_fatti AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the pointโ"
MY POINT EXACTLY.

@amor_fatti YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YETโDeath waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, 3/
