Good morning. 🍁🍁🍁

21 March 2025

Are you ever in a bad mood for now reason at all? I think it happens to all of us. When it happens to me, I usually just get quiet and mope around, but when I'm like that is not a good time to accidently bump into me.

My mother made me a Dammit Doll—a simple creation crafted from a couple of pieces of cloth, stuffed and sewn together, with buttons for eyes, yarn for hair, and a ribbon with a bell attached. A 3x5 card is tied to the ribbon, featuring these words:

"When you feel you want to throw the phone or kick the desk and shout. Here's a little dammit doll you cannot do without. Just grab it by its legs and find a place to slam it. And as you whack the stuffing out. Yell dammit, dammit, dammit."

"When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear." - Mark Twain

"Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." - J. R. R. Tolkien

@Swede1952 That's the good thing about a gel-filled wrist rest in front of your keyboard. You can pound on it without doing any harm to yourself or the machine.
