Pack a picnic with assorted items that people with various food restrictions can select among?

@skatingguy you did great, and we're all grateful. You don't have to be perfect.

Nathan did place first in the free skate at his first olympics. He just couldn't dig himself out of the disappointing short program.

@Amy L I am trying and failing to imagine how anybody could get that emotional about how bread is sliced. Literal salt tears? Are we talking too thick or too thin or on the diagonal or what was the great bread slicing crime that was committed?

Ok. Admin has politely requested that we post Meghan and Harry discussion on this thread so I'm posting this message to boost it up to the the first page again. I am in the untenable position of a person who likes all members of the royal family except Andrew. I always watch the royal weddings...

I vote Loki because he's a trickster. You can never tell what a trickster will do. Good? Bad? Both at the same time? I see @rfisher posted while I was typing, but expressed it better. 2 thumbs up!

Nancy was snarky.

Wikipedia lists stoat as Mustela erminea. It's very cute. Is there a distinctive species or subspecies in the Alps?

Is the stoat on the left in winter white coat an ermine? Is this the summer and the winter fur displayed in the illustration?

Today's "Guardian" states that this is not prostate cancer. Whatever type the cancer might be, it was caught early. Prince Harry flew an 11 hour overnight flight to Heathrow.

It doesn't "bother me", but I think that this thread and the Hanyu divorce thread belong in "The Trash Can" because they aren't focused on skating. Their focus is on the private lives of figure skaters and mostly contain posts about their extreme uber eccentric claims.

I assume that Japan and (I hope) Canada would be awarded their medals at the same ceremony so I think the Paris Olympics might be the best choice.

I would support any venue that the athletes would prefer. I hope they are given the option of the Paris Olympics because I think they all deserve the Olympic recognition.

I lost hope. I never believed this would happen. I'm just so happy and misty-eyed.

I just hope Kate gets better soon and the recovery isn't too arduous.
