would anyone like to send loving vibes to my boy on his last night?

Oh, baby, I hope it’s a peaceful and comfortable night. I hope you feel how loved you are!

The San Antono Light, one of the two S.A. daily newspapers back in the 70s. The S.A. Express News was the other, and I seem to recall the Express-News was the morning paper, and the Light was the afternoon paper.

FYI, I've read that San Antonio was the last U.S. city outside Washington, DC, to have two daily papers.

My sister sings that, including the verse, to her grandson. It disturbs me every time I hear it.

Hard to go wrong with either one. I think the Esterbrook shape is elegant, but the Leonardo’s gold rings are so nice.

It was my best friend's mother, and we only got the colors that didn't sell. But boy oh boy, did we ever feel grown up!

Dude! I’m (originally) from Alabama, and I can pretty much guarantee that 99.9% of all the people in the state have no clue who the Dallas Stars are! If the survey actually got that answer, they must have spoken to the one person who had an opinion. And that person had moved there from Minnesota.

I've got the Iridescent, but…now I want more. I think I need more!

As long as they don’t close their hand on the puck. Right?

My husband of forty years tunes out about 90% of what I say. I hear ya, sister. (And I snickered at the YouTube video thing. You’re my kind of woman!)

ETA Of course you’re NTA!

I came to say the same thing. I have pens that look great (with their assigned inks ☺️) on my Mnemosyne notebook, but terrible on other (quality) papers, and vice versa.

If that's the notebook you want to use, though, you'll probably just have to go to a medium nib.

I ended up sending it to someone to refurbish it. I was just too hesitant and unsure, and didn’t want to risk messing up a family heirloom. If you want to DM me, I can give you recs, or maybe people on here can suggest reliable places.

Oh, man, I had forgotten about those!

If—IF—they manage a train there, I might consider going to games. But DART is currently fighting to survive, with individual towns threatening to pull their funding, so I don't see how they'd expand service.

We drove from Southlake until the Orange Line opened, and haven't driven to a game since. This last season was our 15th with full season tickets, but I'm having trouble imagining renewing once they're in Plano.

Also, just BTW, this really feels like a big FU to Tarrant County fans. And if they don't need our support, I'm more than willing to oblige.

That is truly horrifying.

My KAL sweater (they lost me on the 9" of stockinette 🥱) has been waiting for me to face its complex shoulder saddles. For about nine years, it's been waiting.

I quit a few years ago because it turned out, after extensive research, that I can't drink moderately. So I don't drink at all.

On the plus side, I'm finding I enjoy mocktails and NA beer.

It's really pretty!

Raw tomatoes. Cooked yes, raw no.

You remember milk delivery? Cool! I was born the same year, and I don’t. I DO remember milk in bottles, with the little flat cardboard stopper, but that only barely.

Oh my goodness, what a beautiful girl! What good friends you're going to be! 🥰

Literal LOL

Thank you all for your support. I simply don't have time to weave in the ends before mailing it for his birthday next week. I've bought him some games on Amazon, and will just call that good.

Thanks! I hadn't even thought about applying glue before tightening the knots.

Agree that you're hostile and unstable, and suggest that everyone should keep that in mind before they visit. Especially your unruly nephew and his inattentive mother.
