I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

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.

It is so wonderful to see Jars and strix and Amy and Kate and Glamcookie and Aims and... and... I feel like I should have prefaced that with "Romper Bomper Stomper Boo..."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I see many of you on FB, but it's so good to get the summaries of the important things here.

...and lord, I can't believe how grown-up so many Buffistas babies are! Cognitive dissonance. But M is 14 1/2 now, and doing really well, and is still just fun to be around. Things have been so, so much better with D's ex since we sold the house, and she had another baby. So that's also a positive!

Beth, I hear you on the needing to do more health-focused things. D and I both need to get on it -- I need to haul my achy self back to yoga, and D, who's always been super-skinny, went on Celexa this year and gained 30 pounds. I think he looks good, but he feels really awkward in his new body.

I'll put some pics of Tiny on FB, because I don't belong to any photosharing accounts anymore. Pets really are some of the best therapy there is.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Echoed! So good to see you all and hear about your lives.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Isn't it?

Thanks for all the good wishes, guys!

SJ, I'm still so bummed I didn't get to see you and VW and the little ones when I was in MA. We got snowed with family stuff and I found out I was pregnant the night before our flight, which was a whole other pile of stuff! I'm sure we'll be back over at some point next year though.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

No worries, Jars. We'd love to see you anytime, but I understand that family stuff comes first.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey everybody!! It's so fun to hear from long-lost Buffistas!

I can't even.

Hey everyone!

Been awhile. Still in Toronto, if anyone is passing through and would like to beverage or needs a friendly native guide. Working for the (provincial/state) government, although I can dimly see the light at the end of that tunnel. Living downtown and loving it ( I do value peace and quiet but I forget what that's like). I'm involved with a fan group for the local soccer team and we do a lot of socializing as a group away from the games. I need to poke around and see what folks are talking about here these days (Westworld?), as I hadn't been in some of my subscribed threads since 2007. (eep!) *waves*

Our wings are not tired.

We have family in Toronto that we have never met so a visit is going to happen at some point. I've only been there once and was delighted. Good to see your pixels!

Hi, JohnSweden! Good to see you too!
