As of this moment, I have upgraded from lurker to poster! Oy, I've been so far behind. I miss my peeps!
First, {{{{{ Jilli }}}}} I echo what's been said above.

Seska, it is great you can bring good news to the board. Congrats on the fabulous news!
um. wow. far too much to even try and Meara. Christmas break was nice and calm, but this quarter has all but knocked the wind out of me. Oy. So, while I am caught up, I wave hi! Now I gotta catch up in the other threads.
Hi o_a! Nice to see you around here.
Teaching today! I'm nervous. Haven't taught a class for about three years. Let's hope it's a skill you don't lose. (I don't say 'like riding a bike'. I actually forgot how to do that.)
Hi, omnis! Welcome back.
Every time I hear about something like this I think about those people who are unable to fight as hard for what they need as you were able to in this situation.
That's exactly it. The Girl and I think about that all the time. We have a lot of privilege - we're educated, and I have The Girl to fight for me when I can't do anymore. Most people don't have these advantages. That's why I campaign and give training, and The Girl spends hours giving advice to people she knows are having problems of this kind. (She's thinking of doing a law course and setting up a charity-type-thing with me, so that we can help people in a more official capacity.)
Good luck, Seska! Kick ass! (and oh, my sista in forgetting-how-to-ride-a-bike!).
I have to tell a fellow mod in Hollaback Israel to back off until she'll feel better and more empathic. She's kindda cold lately, and it's a problem when handling the site. Not sure how tell an uber intelligent and proud person to back off until she'll regain sensitivity without hurting her feelings.
Y'all are making me blush.
Heh. I wasn't even trying this time.
But you were missed.
Work is a bit crazy right now. If not working long hours, then coming home tired. Plus, y'all talk a lot! (not meant in a bad way).
Shir, what's this alt HI you mention??
You'll have to give me a link to where I mentioned an alt HI.
Also, why aren't you sleeping now?
