Jilli, my deepest condolences. I'm so sorry. Wishes and mas to you, Pete and your dad.
Also, Erin, much ~ma to Mason and his family. I'll try and send a card to that boy.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And now, after much skipping and much skimming for having a very busy week:
HUGE CONGRATS, SESKA!
Also, I read some of 300 posts ago. Andi, it's good to read about your tries and experiences. I still hold you in my thoughts and brackets. And I was also thrilled to read about Nate's achievements. Wow!

Seska, that's awesome! I'm so glad the system came through for you, even if you had to jump through some hoops.
Congrats to CJ!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Wonderful news, Seska! I'm sorry they ground you down so badly before helping you, but good on them for finally coming through.

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.
Andi, it's good to read about your tries and experiences. I still hold you in my thoughts and brackets.
{{{{{Shir}}}}} Thank you. It is always good to see you, whenever you have time to look in here.

This is the power of speaking up. I'm so proud of you, and of what you have accomplished.
For my birthday, Daniel just gave me a lovely turquoise pendant (it came with a chain, but it is too short for me to use) and turquoise earrings to match. He is now making birthday brownies.

Yay, Seska!
Sounds lovely, WindSparrow! Hope it's a great day!
I sent one of the postcards from the booklet Kat gave me in my years-ago camp care package! So the Buffista love keeps going around!

Let me restate the Lesson of Pete: Do not leave any account of yours with posting capability sign in when there are nefarious folks or goofy spouses around who demand creatures of the one-humped variety.
Love you,

Oh, yay, Seska! Glad those gov't bureaucrats got off their duffs to do something good. And wedding planning! Eeeee!
Happy Birthday, Andi! Said it elsewhere, but it can't hurt to have more, right?
