    Well, congratulations anyway. If she starts digging a patio, make your excuses (and a will)

    I was only joking

        😁 Many thanks! (We got married early last year.)

        She's very lucky with her job situation. Their re-opening deadline is June.

        Please love yourself.

          Back to the Gates haters - the (British) ones I've come across haven't really been political types. They seem to typically be less formally educated folks who think that everybody else is too stupid to see the obvious, and see a lot of conspiracies in a lot of places - anti-vaxxer / homeopathic cancer remedy types, basically. One is a "professional" musician - i.e. she can't afford to do her laundry and passes it of by dressing like something that escaped from Woodstock.

            Same here. I've seen it from a couple of cops, an Army contractor (they're not always the smartest folks but oh boy don't you tell them that), folks like that.

            Please love yourself.

              Gates hatred appears on my radar only inasmuch as it's something for people to make fun of. I find that lots of allegedly important ideas are like that. There is power in convincing people that they are smart because "look what all the dumb people in that other tribe think".

              My wife's unfriended a handful of folks over the Gates crap. Aside from the COVID stuff they'd appear to be typical conservatives.

              Wait, you have a wife now? When did you acquire said wife?
              In any case, assuming that’s not a typo, congratulations!

                  Congratulations, Aqua! I didn't know either.

                  But to tell the truth, my first reaction was wanting to talk to her, to talk to her about what it's like to live with Aqua.

                  She must be an amazing person!!
