I thought I’d take a stab at compiling a current Mumper name list, in alphabetical order by nickname. 
I know I’m missing the nicknames for Aspenglow (it’s something about a tree, but I can’t think of it!), Baker, Bob_Blaylock, Ellecram, scudsucker, SCAdian, and Taters…what are they? And who else am I missing?? Once this seems to be complete – and if y’all agree – I’d be happy to see about getting The MMP FAQ updated. Here’s the list so far (my use of capitalization is inconsistent; also, while we do have nicknames for some SOs and other recurring characters I’ve only included Mumpers):
- 52 - liirogue
- BBBoo or Boo - BippityBoppityBoo
- boofae - scareyfaerie
- catglove - Kitten_Mitten
- cookie - Chefguy
- coppertone - SuntanLotion
- dicey - Die_Capacitrix
- doggio - Dogbutler
- dot - SurrenderDorothy
- FCM - FairyChatMom
- flyboy - Johnny_L.A
- godbod - CorpusNeptune
- hippie - LH75
- JtC or Jane the Cane - JaneDoe42
- knots - AskNott
- lily - susan
- metal mouse - The_Stainless_Steel_Rat
- nellie - nelliebly
- nettie - Seanette
- oopsie - misnomer
- pilot - LSLGuy
- piper - Northern_Piper
- realfish - TruePisces
- red - missred
- rocky - rocking_chair
- sari - Sahirrnee
- shoe - purplehorseshoe
- sticky buns - Sticks_and_Scones
- swampy - swampbear
- talky - overlyverbose
- Van Gogh - Paintcharge
- wet one - peedin
Thanks to all who expressed condolences about my BFFs’ cat. 
The vet showed up 90+ minutes later than planned – a bit cruel to extend the wait, but I don’t know the reason – and a little while later WifeBFF sent me an “RIP Duke” text. I cried a few times yesterday, and gave Bailey some extra hugs. I sent them each “I’m so sorry; I love you” messages, and asked WifeBFF to let me know if I can bring some food over today. I’m not expecting to see them, though. Maybe next weekend.
In other news, my taxes are done! Woo hoo! I have very simple taxes – just two W2s and a 1099-INT, with no dependents/deductions/credits/itemization/etc. – so I filed both fed and state for free via H&R Block, and they’ve already been accepted. I owe <$200 combined, and both payments will be deducted from my savings account on 04/01. No reason to pay early and lose the pennies of interest I’ll earn in February and March. (

I’ve mentioned before that I’ll be attending a vocal jazz conference in June: it’s hosted by an online organization called JazzVoice, which I’ve known about for a while, and the other day I decided to go ahead and join up. They’re offering a virtual welcome/orientation this afternoon, and I’m registered. It’s my only real plan for the day, other than doing laundry.
Oh! Except that I’m expecting a small Lego set to be delivered today. 
It’s a mini Death Star that was offered as a “gift with purchase” (GWP) for 2023’s Star Wars Day (May 4th). It’s less than 300 pieces, and will take hardly any time to put together – I might even be able to do it at the coffee table – but it’ll be easy to display and I’ll be happy to add it to my other Star Wars sets. I’ve decided that my next big set will be the TIE fighter, but I don’t like the current GWP – offered through Friday – so I’m waiting to see what the next one is (I might not like it, either, but I won’t keep waiting).
I hope everything sorts itself out sooner rather than later! 
You misspelled “Ooooooooooklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain,” which I believe is the state’s full official name.
Ouch!!
