Welcome to the revived radium bandwagon, Robert! Delbarton's new product rollout begins in June.

Thanks, ultradamno. It inspired me to write "Red Harvest of Replicants". Only I didn't write it. I was waiting for Hammet's novel to go into the public domain, which I think it might've this year.

@spodiodi the big reveal is that I found out because the person that destroyed them is in the hospital, and I am now to be her caregiver as she recovers from a broken hip.... oh boy you can't make this stuff up! I haven't said anything yet except on here because it's anonymous, thank you for listening because it is a horror

Sorry to be a downer, friends, I'm just beyond words. Think I need some Sly Weasel now. Thanks again

So sad, PigeonsAndRust. Like the string of friends' deaths (and then another one's stroke) last year. Sometimes these things pile up instead of being spread out as civilized grief.

If one of your elders sticks a ball point pen in your eye and you don't do anything about it, at some point it's on you.
