I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Dedicated lurker
Hi. I'm Margaret T., and I have been lurking, with a very occasional post, since TableTalk (maybe around 1998?). I mostly lurk in the TV and Literary threads to find out what I need to watch or read. I'm always pointed in good directions by Buffista recommendations.
I live in Portland, Oregon, have two grown sons, and my hobbies include quilting and nature photography. I'm a fan of Doctor Who, House, and 30 Rock. And I miss Buffy. (Luckily, my sons bought me the boxed set so I can revisit her sometimes.)
I like you all very much and am always so impressed by the civility of this site. It's a wonderful haven from all the madness of fandom. But I am awed by you and a bit shy, hence the lurking.

Welcome, Margaret!
Theresa, stop that! Although I have heard that where you're headed is comparable ...

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

...all my words have been taken by my work. - Mala
Hi Margaret! I love Portland, it's the only other place I'd consider living (and may still).
I worked on and off up there for three or so years. Instead of a hotel, I found a crazy little apartment above a garage (chauffeur's quarters) on the property of one of the mansions near the entrance to Washington Park. I loved that place dearly and was heartbroken to give it up. I actually speculated on how I could afford to keep it for all of 3 seconds. The best location I've ever lived in. I wish I had known someone to take it off my hands because it was a truly extraordinary space and location, though miserably hot in the Summer.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hi, Margaret! Nice to meet you. I miss Buffy too.
Le sigh.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
ehab, that is puzzling for poor Monkey. What brand of food is it, Natural Balance?
Hi, Margaret. Good to see you.
Safe journey, Theresa.
