Started Typing: 2:36 PM ET Clicked Reply: 3:06 PM ET Today hasn’t been nearly as busy as I anticipated, so I actually have time to Mump in the new MMP before there are 100+ posts! Woot! Even better, I think I’ll actually be able to leave the office after only 8 hours: I need to stop on the way home to put gas in the car, but the Shell station is right before the interstate entrance and I should still walk through my front door before 5:30pm. 🤞 I also do not want to imagine a world with no MMP. Sometimes when I haven’t been able to post for a few days I think, “eh, maybe it’s time to quietly exit the conversation,” but I always come back. I can’t quit y’all. 😁 Nothing exciting happened yesterday; it was kind of a perfect Sunday. I spent some time in the afternoon sorting my extra Lego pieces, but otherwise I slothed and watched a lot of TV and played three _New York Times_ games (Connections, Strands, and The Spelling Bee) on my iPad. I even took a short nap in the afternoon…I hardly ever nap! > [@(Old) Hello, Mr Sandman - Dreaming in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-hello-mr-sandman-dreaming-in-the-mmp/1021924/270): > > Perhaps they also came up with “cornhole” and then turned it into a game.

Not the same thing as gunfire, but I’m always amazed by the human compulsion to go look/see even when it’s dangerous to do so. > [@(Old) Hello, Mr Sandman - Dreaming in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-hello-mr-sandman-dreaming-in-the-mmp/1021924/276): > > Delicate setting, maybe? Nah, not the same thing; a “hand wash” setting would be much gentler. > [@(Old) Hello, Mr Sandman - Dreaming in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-hello-mr-sandman-dreaming-in-the-mmp/1021924/280): > > I got here around two.

It must be so nice to have that in your sights! When WifeBFF was able to hit that milestone (for the second time in her life) four years ago, we actually had a little celebration. 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-imagine-a-world-with-no-mmp/1022207)._
