Black and white drawing of a black pug dog, the gray on his face showing his age. He looks muscular and tough, but is a sweetie pie.

Charcoal and marker drawing of our dear old pug, Gus, who gave us 14 adorable years

💚 She's so plain spoken and sticks to the beautiful.

Oh my goodness, that's my new fave ASCII art!!!! 🐶

I bet we two would be at ease. Good thing we didn't meet in 1985 lol

It really depends on the person, not me. Verrrry rare for me to know someone I am 100% at ease with. My daughter is one. My ex was another. Holland person, close. I think that's it, really!
Quarantine wasn't taken very seriously in my dumb little home town, except by our friends. Some masking.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🏆

I guess it's just pure relief lol

Why does cancelling feel so good, though? 🤦‍♂️🤣 What brain chemical does it release?

Yeah, I don't get many invites lately so I definitely show up now! Meeting my pal from the Netherlands, that was scary as heck, but we ended up being old slacker friends in person as much as online, so no exhaustion. Every meetup in a city is an ordeal but I'm getting better at it. 😅

But I hear you. A lotta folks just revel in hanging out, and I need a shit ton of downtime! I call a group nap time! 🤣

My kid and I both are social phobes and "commitment-avoidant" lol. She's actually leading me in last-minute cancellations 😄, but I'm no slouch at begging off. So I give her tons of slack, honestly. She has a very full life. And every time I think of this, I feel like I need to not take it so bad 🤷‍♂️

pritzker called on people to rise up.

so, people seem to be rising up. they could use political back up. I hope he and other Ds make statements of support.

Well, that's good! But yeah, it's a "boundary" that I think is willfully unkind.

😆 after 3-4 hrs of socialing and small talk I literally feel like I have the flu. I prophylactically take 3 ibuprofen before I "go out" 🤣💊

She didn't block you, did she? Ugh, so sorry. My kids haven't cut me off yet but I self-imposed a ban on texting them cuz I think it just ups the discomfort flowing back & forth. I don't think I'm a bad or terribly embarrassing parent, & I don't think you are, either. But, sheesh, they're grownass 🤷‍♂️

I LOVE THIS 🤓

Is she on Bsky? Or have a site on the "Internet"?

OH WOW I hadn't seen this since it was on! That really was out freakin' standing, thanks 🙏

How did you know that's her name? 😯

That's a great Hagen track!!

She was into Hagen... We never had her in the mix much tho. Or Klaus Nomi! Who I kinda liked despite not being an opera buff. We were fans of ol' Captain Beefheart however!

Oh sure I gotcha! And I bet you are correct. Lovich wasn't huge in the US but she was definitely "in the air." My girlfriend at the time was always one step ahead of everyone in town, lol, and she had LL, Talking Heads '77, and Sparks in constant rotation. Loved the theatrical :)
