In which Primo reminds me that Sly said I was selfish, which confuses me, because I do not expect people to sacrifice themselves for my satisfaction, and then I realize that Sly's definition of selfish was "Anyone who didn't want to do what Sly wants"

1.
devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one'sown interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others.

Primo: Oh yeah. Really, the selfish person was my dad.

Me: Just saying --

In which we identify the second good thing that Sly and Doris left us - they can disinherit you from money, but they can't keep you from taking the gallon-sized ziplocks home if you are the person in charge of cleaning out the house. Or the lump crab, which really, was not that good.

Primo, do we have legal-sized envelopes? I want to mail at least a dozen Christmas letters next week to the people who send me physical cards.
If we don't, if it's convenient for you, would you get some on the way home?
Otherwise, we/I can get some later this week.
Also, when you come home, would you please put the trash and compost that are sitting outside the back door in the trash/compost?

You mean regular business-sized envelopes?
yes
I have plenty of them.

Part of my inheritance. My parents had a big box of envelopes.
Shirley loves you!
We got envelopes and the giant ziplocks!
