Not Quite a motss.con xxv (via Zoom)

On Sunday, February 4, 2024, the soc.motss.con bunch had another Zoom call.

I was there at the start. We eventually had nine people over the course of the 70 minutes I was there. I had fun catching up, and it seemed like others did too. Discussion topics (as I wrote them down, but not necessarily in chronological order) included: Cast figurines in sex postions Weather, home heating, and gas versus electric heat PG&E billing individuals for the whole building Replacing appliances that are dying or have died Anxiety and medications Sleep cycles and nightmares (especially about work for retired people) Sexism (women not being listened to) Show and tell: Waxed amarylis, tulip paintings, fake tulips, origami boxes with flowers, etc. Moliation, demolition, and renovations Viewing Oscar-nominated films (in preparation for voting) Movie viewing in theaters Binging old television shows (specifically Northern Exposure) Losing words, aphasia, and possible mental decline Wordle, Letterbox, and other word games Thruples on the Drew Barrymore Show International travel and visiting at intermediate airports Living in a city where there was or will be an Olympics Attending the Oscars in person ($1,000/person tickets unless you're a nominee) Award shows... and connections to the film and music industries Streaming replacing cable and satellite services Long-distance significant others Pets, rescue animals, stuffed animals, allergies, and medication T-shirts
