So, you guys had a rough week it sounds like. On a couple of different days, the Open Threads were outright depressing.
Personally, I try not to do depressing. Last time I got bummed out, I tricked some Munchkins into climbing onto one another’s shoulders to get momma’s Special Drink from a jug on the top shelf, and then turned them into a totem pole.
