Thanks! You're right, the second D is pronounced as "almost" T. I couldn't find our proper pronunciation, but it's more or less the same in German.

Congrats to your new creation, Lopov!

I found a new emoji lol.

Thanks all!

They're coming back home today.

What wonderful news!! Congratulations to the Lopov family! Welcome to the world, David!

Congratulations! It's so exciting!

I can share in that with you, Lopov. Yesterday my mother found out that my second nephew (brother to the oldest) is giving her another great grandchild in February. She already has two (twins) from the first nephew, already nine months old, so this is exciting news for her. Unfortunately, both young families are in AZ, and Mum can't travel alone anymore due to vision and hearing issues.

Thanks Grits and haute! I'm happy for you haute!

Thanks though I've been here for 39 years .

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day!

I’m sure those of you who are owned by black cats appreciate them every day, but today give them extra hugs and treats! And here is the black cat that started it all . . . (Just skip the ad in the beginning LOL)

Khajiit wishes he had a black cat!

I do too! Does a black and white Cow Cat count as half a black cat?

As many of you know, I've been staying home since the start of the nationwide shutdown due to immune deficiency issues. I am still employed, though my WFH training is still on pause. In the mean time, my employer has provided us with the opportunity to self test for COVID-19 weekly with a nasal swab test (which detects the presence of the virus, not antibodies). I just got the first kit today, so I have to collect the sample and get it back out in the same day. Not a problem, as there are plenty of FedEx drop off places around town here.

I talked it over with my immunologist, and decided it was a good idea to participate in it after three employees in my store (which reopened back in June) tested positive, two of whom are asymptomatic. Better to be proactive with one's own health, and since it's a weekly test paid for by my employer, I may as well take advantage of this.

For the past few days I've been experiencing decreased sense of smell, though I suspect it's related more to allergies and subsequent nasal congestion, it's better to be sure, right?

So off I go to poke my nose on both sides and drop it off in the nearest box. Oh, and pick up my free coffee from Panera's while I'm out there (they're offering curbside pickup which is a godsend).

Free coffee and Covid tests. Can't beat that!

I'm so glad your employer (Apple, right?) is taking good care of you. Oh, and Panera too.

I’d say he/she/they probably feel like an all black cat at heart, so, sure!

Boss died last night after two years of illness. Whole day has been off and this weekend is already ruined. His dad told us this morning before work.



I feel so bad for his family.

So sorry to hear that, 'Rocu. I have lost a boss to illness, and it's both sad and upsetting. Sad because this was a person you knew and worked with/for, and upsetting because you don't know what will happen with your place of employment. My prayers with you and your work family!

Aww, sorry to hear that, mirocu.
