(edit) aftershock was a 4.6.
glad you're ok ... stay safe out there!

It sounds like you knew of the impending earthquake, given the positioning of the laundry.

Seeing you post reminds me of a story I wanted to share. Mr. Kipper and I were out at dinner the other week, and a guest at another table asked the server if she had any buffalo sauce. She replied, "I have Cholula."

Day 3 of working from home: The coworkers in my house are very hairy, don't speak English, and keep falling asleep while at work.

It's 5 pm and I'm still working (from home). Soon I'm going to replace the coffee cup on my desk with a glass of wine.

I'm not sure about that, although both were homeless at one time, before ending up here.

They are exceeding their treat limits already.

One drawback with WFH is that I am using my toilet paper instead of my employer's!
