Maybe we'll make other plans.
That was a good idea for the hostess.
Nobody wants a nasty virus in their midst.
The consensus is that we've all been exposed already or are willing to live dangerously, so its on. And the Hostess said "I have a refrigerator full of food and I'm cooking it". So there's that. And we have 6 bottles of wine cued up by the door to take with, so that's the other.

Re the BB, I watched that too. Rather a disappointing Scorchers performance. And the Royal Variety Show that followed on was more pathetic than last year - why do they have to include these eraser-headed non-talents mumbling strange words and dumb rappers? I'm sure Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall (even she) must have been bored to tears by this insistence on including rubbish.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
I was in bed by 9pm because the alarm goes off at 315am. Woke up at midnight due to a loud bang somewhere. Same shit as goes on the 4th. Next July I am buying the biggest speakers they make and playing john Phillips Sousa music at 3am when I get up, my treat for my clueless 9-5 neighbors. Turns out we have no noise ordinence.
Stayed up until midnight and watched the ball descend in times square. Heard people ha been out there all day and NYC did not have portable toilets for them to use.
Now I am not one who needs a bathroom that often, but in all that time, even I would have to go. Especially with the low temps they had. Depends anyone?
