Y’all are playing right into my box of 45s! A healthy start: Van Morrison for **bodypoet** , classic Motown for **NinetyWt** - I’m thinking maybe “You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me” by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Jim Croce for **evilmthldy** , and Paul Simon for me. That leaves two slots (most of the record changers I’ve worked with top out around six singles), but I’ll start stacking up songs for additional go-rounds as they come in. Name 'em, friends, there’s plenty of room for you! Oh, and **DeadlyNightLight** …hoping you’re doing okay. What would you like to hear? A little of everything available for you… ---

**Deadly** , we’ll have a nice pile of his clothes soaked in kerosene for you to burn, a big ol’ bunch of his favorite knicknacks to smash, and we’ll throw on some Def Leppard too if you like. (Hey, quit that! I grew up in the 80s!) I think **bodypoet** is whipping up a huge margarita for you…just come when you can, and I’ll braid your hair for you. ---

Don’t have any Beechem’s (which I assume from the context is a British cold remedy), but I can offer you some Sudafed. Or my favorite remedy, hot lemon and brandy. \ Anyone else want pancakes? I brought some apple-cinnamon syrup. ---

pancakes! yum! but it’s dinner time here… the little demons have been especially demonic today so I am in need of some comfort… I’m not liking this… hubby is away… stressed out… cinnamon hazelnut coffee… I will have to try that in the morning. that sounds really good. maybe tonight I will just do cinnamon in some hot chocolate. that sounds good too… mmmmmmm I rented a funny movie… anyone interested in watching it with me? My Big Fat Greek Wedding… we’re not Greek… but it’s funny how this movie was so much like my family! 🙂 I’ll be on the couch under a big fluffy blanket if anyone wants to join me! ---

Beecham’s is essentially TheraFlu - a hot lemony drink with ibuprofen. I’ll be over here giving **NinetyWt** a hug and trying not to give her my germs. ---

Breakfast, dinner, who cares? Pancakes are good any time. 🙂 \ I’ll be in the kitchen fixing up another pot of stew. Anybody want anything else while it’s simmering?
