Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dana, aurelia, I got your votes.

Weirdly, some of the votes went to my inbox and some went to spam.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I did get the confirmation, although I can see why it might go to spam. I didn't know what it was at first. We need a better message title. Right now it's just "Y:(your name here)". It also claims to be from me, when it ought to say it's from b.org.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It also claims to be from me, when it ought to say it's from b.org.

Aha. Yep, it's in the spam folder, once I knew what I was looking for.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That's all my doing. It's to make it easy for the vote counter to filter the replies. Ideally, the confirmation email would be different from what goes to the vote counter person, but it is not.

Ah sh*t, totally forgot about adding voting to the new site. Should be pretty easy at least.

That would be an excellent enhancement. Right now, it's just me manually updating a page.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Not in my spam.

I remember that... Now...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yep, mine was in spam.

Our wings are not tired.

Natter 76: With a hundred and ten coronets close at hand.

Sorry, that was the first thought that came to mind.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I love it!
