I am in the process of wrapping now. Not my favourite thing.

Re: The Castanet Gab-O-Rama
I had an email from a woman, in her 30s, maybe early 40s.
She signed off with She/Her.
What does that mean?
Is she just confirming that she's a female, or does one acknowledge her with one of those pronouns?
Did any of you receive the memo?

Re: The Castanet Gab-O-Rama
Here is idea:
Save those amazon boxes and reuse them, place junk you want to get rid of into the box and place it at front door.
Sure enough someone will probably steal it.
Junk is gone

Tried that and it worked but a few days later they came back with all my stuff and all of theirs!
Now I have twice as much junk!

It's so cold I'm almost hoping for a heated argument with my Wife!

Re: The Castanet Gab-O-Rama
It's the thing that people do nowadays to show they support the "I don't like regular pronouns" group.
Because it can be hard to tell by email who thinks they're what, you have to let people know, now.
Not something I do. I do it the old-fashioned way, signing off with "Mrs"

Re: The Castanet Gab-O-Rama
I usually keep all my gifts in an older suitcase, so I don't lose them. They didn't all fit this year. I had a cute mug for my coworker, left in a gift bag tucked away beside my dresser. I relocated that bag a few times, apparently. I did eventually find it.

A word of warning, don't look when you flush.
https://www.livescience.com/toilet-flus ... osol-plume
Uncovered toilets shoot out aerosol plumes 'like a rocket'.
You've been warned, flush and run.

I was told this video featured Catsumi and GordonH, but I don't believe it because GordonH doesn't swear.
