Happy birthday, Lee!
Happy Buffistaversary all!
What do we get for the fifth anniversary? Paper Clips? Is this the office supplies anniversary?
Jeez, we're a long lived online community. Somebody should write a book about us.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Appropriately enough, the fifth anniversary gift is traditionally wood.

Happy Birthday Lee! Happy birthday Phoenix! Ah, I remember that morning well, timing my refreshes to when I thought ita would be getting up and getting the board online. Still amused that I snaked such a low user number.
Congrats on D's first roadtrip (traintrip?)! How long was the ride?
Noah should be returning from his first roadtrip today. In the meantime, I spent much of yesterday holding Grace - she seemed pretty pleased. And when I came back later to tuck her in, the nurses had already tucked her in with Thing 1.

We've got wood.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks for all the b-day wishes!
Love the Grace pictures!
I have a house full of sleeping buffistas, and coffee, and no work today.
YAY

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm so glad Grace got to spend time with you, Lori. I am just sick enough to make visiting babies a bad idea.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE!
As for the board...mostly I remember the labour pains. Closest I'll get to being a mother. I'm okay with that.

We have some Buffistas who were supersmart do-nothings in school, right? Anyone want to chime in with what could have motivated them? If anything?
Addendum: Thing is, I'm supposed to be teaching "workplace readiness skills" in addition to content, so I think it is important that they do even the stuff that they don't find particularly interesting. Because yes, your employer will probably ask you to submit a report at some point.

Oh! And the local B&N has The Book. I mean, of course, but it was nice to see it way out here.

The only thing that ever really motivated me in school was doing better than the smartypants I didn't like in the class, just to show her. So, competition?
In primary school literally nothing could motivate me, except interest in the subject. I even got suspended for lack of work. But then I am very lazy, and not working is much easier than working.
