- *hugs* -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 23, 09:51 1
  - S'cool. I'm long over it. I feel for people who tough it out despite knowing this truth about their relationship. -- nm - Mop Dec 23, 09:54
Yay!! Reported my mileage when I paid my auto insurance. Just got a refund of $86. - MistletoeMeg 🎄🎅🎄 Dec 23, 09:24 2
- heh, they would send me a 312.50 bill if I had that. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 23, 09:28
- nice! -- nm - 🦌sleighformojo🛷 Dec 23, 09:25
Major milestone met: This morning I met my weight goal of 175. A few years ago when I was barely able to walk, I was at 225. So that's 50 pounds - 🦌sleighformojo🛷 Dec 23, 09:22 [Attachment] 17 1
- Fantastic! -- nm - Pippy - Dec 23, 12:08

    - Me too. I get plenty of movement in. -- nm - Yuletide Callisto 🎄🎄 Dec 23, 09:47

I had to go to the mall this morning. I didn't think it would be crowded but I was still shocked how dead it was. - zunkskunk+ Dec 23, 09:19 2
- I drove to Target yesterday to pick up something with their drive up service. The place was a zoo. -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 23, 09:21 1

- not that I'm aware of. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 09:22 2
  - It's weird. You would think that Hayloft is a new song and not 12 years old as often as they play it. -- nm - Dano Dec 23, 09:26 1
    - And last night they played Bit By Bit and I thought, oh... new Mother Mother, and when I looked it up it was released in 2012. -- nm - Dano Dec 23, 09:28

- Sylvie's Love and The Midnight Sky came out today. I love the new Hollywood. -- nm - David Dec 23, 09:08
- same for Wonder Woman -- nm - budice Dec 23, 09:02 1
  - Yeah, tempting. But while I enjoyed the first I'm not like OMGWTFBBQ in having to see it ASAP. -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 23, 09:06
Geek Deal: Tropico 5 for Free -- (link) - budice Dec 23, 08:37 4

12 people (AFAIK) still in LDBC -- (link) - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 23, 08:37 20
- Still in, despite some risky moves such as forgetting my headphones when I go out to buy groceries. I am not leaving the house until tomorrow... - Roger More Dec 23, 09:37
- I'm still in but about to go to trader joes soooo.... -- nm - amanda jeans Dec 23, 09:36 1
  - godspeed. -- nm - Diva🎅🏾 Dec 23, 10:20

- I'd wager I've heard it at least twice every day since the last week of November -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 08:52
- Still in. Really hasn't been even close. I generally don't listen and I almost never leave the house so I don't hear it in stores. I don't think - pmb Dec 23, 08:51 1
  - I heard "Do They Know It's Christmastime?" in IKEA, and something in Costco, but otherwise, same. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 23, 08:56

- I missed sign-up but added. Still in. Thought I would be out Sunday though, had to do some bday/Xmas shopping. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 23, 08:43
- self-distancing at home has gone a long way towards limiting the outside risk. (at least for me) -- nm - Diva🎅🏾 Dec 23, 08:40 5
  - Stop! You're ruining the fantasy that I have that you walk around all day singing, and therefore, singing holiday songs currently. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 23, 08:47 2
    - 🤣 -- nm - Diva🎅🏾 Dec 23, 08:49
    - CNM tackles her every time she starts LDB. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 23, 08:48
  - Yup. My biggest worry was when we went out to get the Christmas tree otherwise not being in stores with music playing has made it less risky -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Dec 23, 08:41
  - this is true, also not tuning in Christmas Specials or Musicals at the moment -- nm - budice Dec 23, 08:41
- Still in -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Dec 23, 08:40

      - Noted. -- nm - Andie Dec 23, 10:00
    - I miss Orangina - dunno if I could even find it any more - that was my late-college non-alcoholic drink of choice -- nm - 🦌sleighformojo🛷 Dec 23, 08:40 1

Reagen is right and the rest of you are wrong. - Baron the Bluenose Reinbear🐻 Dec 23, 08:00 8

- Hmm. Close, but not quite I think. -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 23, 09:05

$2000 stimulus check question is interesting. Will House/Senate GOP leaders break from Trump? -- nm - budice Dec 23, 07:46 16
- Yes, they’ll break. Nope, they won’t support the extra money. They lose their next avenue of attacking Biden if they do; the debt. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Dec 23, 07:59 4
  - Not having any credibility on fiscal restraint hasn’t stopped them harping on the deficit before. - znufrii Dec 23, 08:39 1
    - This why it’s their play. - Will Hunting Dec 23, 09:02
  - Trump couldn't have handed the Dems a better message for the GA runoffs if he'd tried. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 08:19 1
    - He doesnt care about the GA runoff -- nm - eag Dec 23, 08:22

- Yes, they’ll claim he’s a lame duck. -- nm - Tim Dec 23, 07:56
- Schumer on Trump's call for $2,000 in direct payments: "I'm in" -- (link) - budice Dec 23, 07:53 1
  - Well, yeah, he's a Dem. You won't hear too many Dems coming out against it. -- nm - mara Dec 23, 08:19
- Dem House is more than happy to do it I think. -- nm - ty97 Dec 23, 07:49 6
  - Schumer tweeted his support as well. But I think for some of the GOP giving money to poor people is a bridge too far. -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 07:53 5
    - I know, but think of the message it sends. "We care less about poor people than Donald Trump." -- nm - pmb Dec 23, 07:58 4
      - You keep expecting them to display some courage or self reflection. Ain't gonna happen today, tomorrow, or ever -- nm - TWuG Dec 23, 08:01 2
        
        No, I don't. That was mostly joking. -- nm - pmb Dec 23, 08:22
        
        He's trying to cause havoc before he leaves why not support something that he knows the other party fully supports but causes issues within his own - eag Dec 23, 08:11
      - When did that ever bother them? -- nm - loosilu Dec 23, 07:59
"man am I glad I brought my timpanis out today" -- nm - that one guy Dec 23, 07:35 1
- Can't believe that word made it past the naughty word filter! -- nm - Mop Dec 23, 08:54
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. -- nm - David Dec 23, 07:33 4
