Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.

Kalliope -- not Shazam, or Zoom -- and I are doing well and will get to go home from the hospital tomorrow. Many thanks for all your good wishes. I look forward to catching up with everyone here and posting some pictures, soon.
My family is awesome.
Yay! The doctor just called me to say that the results are good. I'm cancer-free.
Thanks for all your good thoughts.
Anyone in the Bay Area who would be interested in seeing "You, Nero" at the Berkeley Rep tonight (Saturday) for free, please email me at my profile addy.
Hope this isn't natter, and I wish I was in bay area to watch. I worked on the workshop for "You, Nero" and Amy Freed is one of my fav playwrights. I **HIGHLY** recommend it!
I'm hesitant to post this, but since there might be some crossover from long ago: I just learned that Terri Lynn, a poster from Tabletalk days, maybe on Buffy threads, maybe not, has gone into inpatient hospice care.
As a followup, I read tonight Terri-Lynn died this evening. Holding her and her son, Liam, in the light.
I have accomplished a major life change. I bought a house today!!!
It doesn't have a nerd hole, but it does have a lot of room for gardening, and that makes me happy.

Now for the moving part. Any spare -ma would be appreciated.
Of all the nights to go to bed without checking the board! I can't believe I have to get up and go to graduation now!
Thank you, everyone, for your love and enthusiastic seconds and for the first time I've ever truly enjoyed b'crxy and lightbulbs. I know the wait was killing you, but seeing all the joy and anticipation meant so much this morning.
Drew, I love you. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life as your wife. Yes!
Quick follow-up post...a couple of people expressed interest in having a record of the whole crazy night. I actually put a pdf together with comments from the various threads for my parents so they could read the whole thing from start to finish (I included a page explaining the board a bit so they wouldn't be totally lost, and I admit to censoring all the fucks with some ****). They enjoyed it very much, for the record! Anyway, if anyone was serious about wanting a copy, email me and I'll send it to you.
As requested, I will also post a "my side of the story" account of the night/morning in Bitches in a little bit.
I can't tell you how much this has all meant to me. Your love has overwhelmed me, and I want to (but probably should not since I've barely graded a thing this weekend!) email each and every one of you back with my thanks. I can't wait to see many of you in Seattle so I can give you HUGE HUGS!
