So cool to see long time Buffistae coming home to the fold! I don't think I was around when Holli and CV were most active, but I've definitely been around long enough to have heard all the lies legends. Welcome home!

OMG, Holli! CV! Darth! (kinda).

BUT STILL!

Hello! OMG FLAIL.

Awww, this is lovely! Yay CV! Congratulations you, with the baby and the long-distance Belgian fella! Yay Holli! When you were all tiny and wee, and now you're all grownup! Awww! I love this thread! And Darth's married? Awwww!

It was well documented that if you stood still at any given point in Chapel Hill/Carrboro

Yes! That happened no less than four times whenever I visited!

Darth's musician fella is amazing. My jaw kind of dropped when I heard that news; it was like two amazing things coming together!

...and by coming together, she means porn.

What? What? Stop looking at me like that! You were all thinking it!

Hey, guys. BeVERly suggested I check in.

I've was around since the Table Talk days, roughly the beginning of Season 4. I used to be a regular in the show threads, Bitches, and Natter; a few years back I drifted away for no particular reason. (You can find me at Livejournal, if you're curious; j o n q u i l.)

I'm 50 now, living in the Bay Area and ecstatically happy to be so. My daughter, for whom the Buffista Early Warning System was started (what *was* its official name?) is in her second year of college; she and my son finally watched "Hush" some time in high school.

Now for the bad news. My chronic migraines, like ita's, have grown much worse. I'm still managing to hold down a job, but I have migraines 20-25 days a month. My son, now 16, has inherited them, and has been out of school for two years with one continuous migraine. It's been rough. My husband has also had some bad health problems. We're all clinging together and soldiering forward; it's what you do.

I wish you all well.

Oh, Betsy! Bless your heart! I enjoy (well, often in a "back the fuck off and leave her alone, universe! Enough already!" kind of way) reading you on LJ, but I do miss your pixels here. So sorry that your health problems have been getting so much shittier - and I didn't realise that your son was in the same boat. Good lord.

Much -ma to you and yours, love.

For Betsy's kids, wasn't it the Atlantic Canadian Early Violence Ratings, or something? Because Atlantic Canadians got Buffy on Mondays, instead of Tuesdays. And they had their own thread, and sometimes were taunty, in polite Canadian ways.

I remember because I was warned to cover the children's eyes when (spoiler alert!) Willow killed the deer. My husband and I each had a child covered.

Also, I have two cats, including a new kitten who has distinguished himself by getting ringworm, a middle ear infection, *and* a viral nasal infection simultaneously. He remains a classic kitten, very cheerful and cuddlesome, but carries his head on one side because of the pressure on his nerve caused by the ear infection. This means that at the moment I have a right-leaning cat.

Does that mean it hisses every time health care reform is mentioned?
