I have a modest proposal (no, there will be no baby-eating -- except maybe the toes....) -- how would people feel about the idea of making Bitches a Hurricane-Free Zone?

By that, I just mean this: it's totally normal for people to be talking about the hurricane and its aftermath; this is a disaster of staggering proportions, and I don't say that lightly. That said, the news reports are upsetting me so much (as well they should), every time someone posts a snippet of an article about death and mayhem, I just want to BEG for a bullshit consensus to make one thread (*any* thread; I don't care which, but I need to know which one to go to) a hurricane-free zone.

I'm not saying people shouldn't talk about it, but I was wondering if it might be possible to bullshit consense on making Bitches a respite from the hurricane discussion?

PLEASE don't think I'm trying to steamroll the thread/board, because if people think it's a bad idea, that's fine. I won't throw a fit.

It's just an idea, to create an oasis of calm.

I was just coming to suggest the same thing, Steph. I consense.

My bullshit consenses with Steph's. I have been talking about it, but there are times when I need to read/talk about anything but.

Cindy stated my thoughts for me.

I consense with Steph, yes indeed.

I had the same thought a moment ago reading Natter. Works for me.

NOTE: any other kind of trauma is fine. Get a hangnail? Post about it! Shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die? Link us to the live webcam!

So, not trauma-free; just specific hurricane trauma free.

Though levity is always nice.

I know a lot of us go to Natter, but it's not a complete cross-over. Should we mention it over there or somewhere, in case the talk is getting too much for any of the Natterers who don't usually come in here?

NOTE: any other kind of trauma is fine.

Even spider-related?

We white font the details, tommyrot, but sure.
