You would think I'd just buy one. But I suspect that they're probably not warm, or comfortable, and there's some good reason why modern women do not wear them, and it would ruin the fun of imagining it.

You've sold off your collection?! What brought this on, pray tell? I'm shocked to my very core.

And "shagging dates" made me laugh. In a good way.

In my imagination, all my nightgowns are those flowy white Victorian numbers. I am never wearing my reading glasses in this fantasy version of me, and my hair is always perfect. And I never have a random giant zit on my chin that appeared out of nowhere.

You're such a smarty.

Hey Mister. Guess what I want to know?

I also really want you to buy those pants. Please, Andrew, buy those pants. (That's as close to begging as I'll ever get.)

Me too. I think it's because spiders are usually just kind of chilling in a web, or the corner of the ceiling, not making any sudden moves. But the 'pedes' - they're zooming around unpredictably at top speed. They just freak me the fuck out. Also, they're carnivores. (I might see one if I Google).

I have astonishingly large and fast centipedes in my basement. They only emerge when it's dark. Some asshole keeps turning the light off down there. I think it's one of them.

I have arrived. Try to contain yourselves. 😜

I'll be super impressed if you're ever able to sleep in that room again.

There she is! Welcome aboard. It's weird here, but we'll figure it out.

I'll pretend my bed is 'out in the wild' in Massachusetts.

I think just having to do the timezone math in my head warrants at least a box of 'event swag' or something something... Unless it's a stupid tote bag or branded hat. I have quite enough of those, thank you.

We've talked me into turning it back on. Nice work!

Are most of the people you relate to those who enjoy sitting around in dark, quiet places, eschew small talk and are really into their special interests? If so, you might be a Neurodivergent... *wink*

I'd be delighted to be added to your list. I have not been crackergated, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time....

Now I'm reconsidering turning it off since it is a good indicator of who to instantly block if we're not already buddies. Hmm, something to think about for sure.

Good day fine sir! So very nice you'll be here too. You're one of the good ones. 🫂🫂🫂
