We needed to draw a line, and Australia was where we picked.
It doesn't apply so much with Buffy and Angel off the air, but it's never been officially changed, so if the people whitefonting have no problem, I figure it can stay...or be voted on, I guess.
So Australia is the rule, not an example? That's cool by me. I just wasn't sure how to interpret the description.
Yep, it was picked as the rule.
I think at the time, Australia had the most Buffistas waiting the longest to get Buffy & Angel. (Not that we counted or anything scientific like that - it was a consensus based on a hunch that by the time something had aired in Australia everyone else had probably already seen it.)
Shouldn't voting be closed by now?
Is the Sabbath over in Israel?
The vote was closed on the night between shabbat and Sunday in Israel, so I figured I'd post the results (I've never posted anything like "No 0" before) on Sunday-morning, my timezone (a bit after the closing of the vote, indeed, but only by a couple of hours).
However, face-space life intervened, and all computer time was abandoned until pretty much right now.
I deeply apologize for the delay.
[Edit: I was awaken Sunday morning by a phone call from a friend going into labor. She's a very dear friend, and is in the middle of getting a divorce, so she didn't want her husband there with her in the delivery room, and she deeply needed some emotional support. So I just had to jump and rush to her side. She had a boy. I didn't have to be there for the most difficult - physically - parts, since a more professional support arrived by then (a dula? I have no idea how to write this in English), and I could run to work.]
Nilly, I can't imagine having a better person present for support. If the person helped her deliver the child, she was probably a midwife. If she helped her after, she was probably a doula. Congrats to you friend on the birth of her son.
Doula! That's how you spell it! Thanks!
(She was with her inside the delivery room, for the last real-hard part, on top of all the medical personnel. So it's a sort of a combination of your options.)
And thank you for your lovely words.
And I'll stop the bureau Natter now.
The F2F thread sub-title (sub-heading?) needs to be updated.
