Do you still have beds at her house to sleep in?

Unpacking first might also help.

Have you seen what's happened to FaceBook?

It's a mess.

Yes, it's now completely unacceptable to compliment people, even jokingly.

Do you still have beds at her house to sleep in?

She is sleeping on a couch tonight. She’s small enough. My sister Annaliese slept on it for months.

It’s fairly nice. I don’t know the square feet, but it has a spacious living room, a nice bedroom and a tiny area that isn’t really a kitchen but has space for a microwave, a sink and cabinets plus fridge.

They'll be performing (and the teams will be entering) to an empty stadium...but it was designed to be more sedate under the Covid conditions.

Part of my work is returning defective or damaged new material.

Some defective talking books got set aside and forgotten (SPOO!), so instead being able to get no-charge replacements (where available), I just ordered whole new copies.

The cost of the titles were less than my time trying to deal with all this, so my supervisor said to just delete the withdraw copies from the catalog.

Since we pretty much can't get replacements for single discs for talking book sets anyway, the rest of the sets are thrown away.

All the artwork sleeves are recycled and most of the cases can be reused, so it's not a total waste.

However, since most titles only had one or two defective discs, I put holds on other copies and am making copies of the defective discs and will keep the now complete sets for myself.
