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?
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"

I am in the process of wrapping now. Not my favourite thing.
So, did you find the Missing Items?
All items accounted for! Except for the ones that shipped late, now I just hope they arrive here in time :/

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! :-X
Oh well, I guess go back to the exploding box of glitter. As thieves reward for stealing.
LOVE that guy - did you see the one where he went after the scam callers?

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. :200:

Uncovered toilets shoot out aerosol plumes 'like a rocket'.

You've been warned, flush and run.

I also give thanks for this ethos richness bestowed on us via British Colonialism.

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

Oh Glacier, thanks for the photo of the little darling. It makes me feel so maternal, haha.
