I'm LA bound! Would love to see you, next Weds through Sun, deets in F2F.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Hey, with so many people coming back to the thread, we should take the time to update the Buffista Map! If you haven't updated your spot in a few years, do so now. If you're not on the map, put yourself on it. (and to those people that I have seen posting something along the lines of "I'm not a regular" or "I'm not really part of the board", I say pshaw! If you post (or lurk), you're one of us. So, update away!

Vortex, could you give the link for the map and any pertinent instructions to help that along, unless it's self-explanatory?

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The link to the map is in the left-hand sidebar. (You weren't expecting it to be that easy, were you?)

Copied from FB, because I am so. damned. tired. I will catch up on ita's information from the last couple of days a little later today, but we just got home from 4 days in Iowa.

My father-in-law's memorial yesterday was lovely; well over 200 people came from 1-5 pm. Dan and I are both utterly exhausted but so, so appreciative of all the kind words proffered us by so many people.
It was a grueling last week for both of us...I'm so mentally exhausted and I got so sick on the drive up to IA Thursday, and still feel punky -- I don't know how to say how grateful I am for the support of family, both mine and Dan's, and of friends near and far.
Thank you all so much. You are loved.
(Also, some-interview-ma for 3 p.m. CST would be awesome. The reason we had to leave at zero dark thirty this morning is because I had to reschedule a phone interview for a potentially very exciting copyediting gig for a national corporation and adding them to my client list would be a coup. Thanks!)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Last minute work trip to NOLA. I'll be there next Wednesday and Thursday (2/4-2/5), and I'd love to meet up with anyone around on Wednesday evening. I've pinged smonster and Nora, but I'm not sure if anyone else is going to be in the area then. Discussion to happen in F2F if necessary.
edit: Spelling. More coffee is evidently necessary.

The Teacup family is expanding! Our little teacup (ltc) is due mid-August! We're beyond excited. I'm only posting here for now until I can get in touch with all of my relatives, so please no comments on other social media until I post there.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
