Thanks everyone for the kind words and thoughts. Talked to my brother today. Turns out he (Bones) didn't have life insurance, nor any preplanned funeral arrangements. Turns out it's going to be 4500$ to have him cremated, and none of us are able to swing it. This sucks, because it's just putting more and more stress on my mom. I can't even fly back to be with her right now since hurt my back a month ago and can barely walk some days, much less travel across the country. Glad I was able to go out a few months ago, but hate I can't be there now.

RIP Dale Jones, aka Bones, aka my mom's husband. He had been dealing with dementia and was moved to a nursing facility the day before. We knew it was coming but she has lost her brother, sister in law, a close cousin, and now Bones, all in the past few years. Not many people left in the family and it's tough for her.

You beat me to it by a few seconds gram, but one of the first things that came up for me was this: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-nobel-prize-lindsey-graham-middle-east-b2985271.html

This shall not stand!

So, I think for my 45th, I'm finally read to take the plunge. What do you say, should I get JH13s? https://www.headfonia.com/fiio-jh13-review/

No worries; I blame @cetoole

Hah! Love the cakes, memes, biscuit-related nonsense, and the well wishes. Actually made me smile. I actually didn't have a biscuit; I've only had 1 biscuit (when I was in Chattanooga last month), where they can actually make them. Going to go watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 (and/or Obsession) tomorrow, and perhaps have a meal or something. Today, the dogs have made sure to be extra handsome and/or beautiful and/or cute today to celebrate, which is always a delight.

HiFIMan sale going on, and extra 10% off open box/refurb with code: CLR10POFF If anyone can chime in on if any of these are any good or not, I'm sure that'd be helpful to the 83% of us who don't follow this anymore and haven't in years.

Get better, Dusty! Hope they have some purple Jell-O.

This is how I found out Robert Mueller died today.

Not late, for those on the Best Coast! Happy Birthday, Al! Hope you get lots of bike stuff!

6 hours ago. Has been constant. Probably walking home in the snowmageddon. Uphill, both ways.

Nice Mirra, but where's the rest of your monitor?

On a lighter note... #ThanksObama
