I think next storm I will give greater thought to evacuating.
Just so you know, evacuating is also very stressful. I think it's actually more stressful than staying put, which is why people prefer not to.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

[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.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Nora and smonster}} Storms are very stressful! Whether you stay or go, stressful. I have stayed for all but one. This year I happened to be out of town. I love the actual storm part, but I'm a storm loving freak. But the whole gathering supplies, hunkering down, and worrying, and living without power, and the resulting debris field are stressful. We shutter for storms so it is dark in the house which is kinda awful too.
It is good to hear you made out so well. Alas, too many people were not so fortunate. I hope life gets back to routine soon.

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.
Be safe. Be well. Be happy, or be warmed with the love of those who sorrow with you, darlings.

OK, I'm trying to finish BIG LOVE, just for completion sake. I'm on episode 8 in season 5. Do the last 2 episodes get any better? anything redeeming worth watching? Beacuse the writing really went down hill on this one.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
omnis,
be strong.
the final season is bullshit. made more so by the finale. Beau bailed (and I recall exactly when he bailed the season before the final season) - he thought it was completely absurd that Bill was going to run for political office. So much so that he thought the show had no more credibility.
I stuck with it and I'm actually sorry I did.
You are so close to the end, you might as well finish the travesty.

{{Nora and smonster}} Just reading about it, from many many many miles away, makes me stress. My thoughts are with you.

You are so close to the end, you might as well finish the travesty.Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I started watching episode 9 (second to last). Mind you, it's been 8 or 9 months between episode 7 & 8, so I had to do some remembering. But that's fine. Anyhow, sometime during episode 9, I zonked out. Pfft.
he thought it was completely absurd that Bill was going to run for political office. So much so that he thought the show had no more credibility.Funny, when that happened in the show, I was like "WHAT?!?!" I was thinking it was a jump the shark moment. Alas, it is worse than jumping the shark. It's been a luge ride down.
I'll watch the last 1.5 episodes, just to clear them from my watchlist. The show was interesting to begin with. I hate it when interesting shows turn blah.

One excuse is that the narrative was compromised with the final 2 seasons had their episode order cut.

Here at work, I have a whiteboard on my door. Somebody wrote a quote on it the other day:
Sadness is easier because its surrender. I say make time to dance alone with one hand waving free.Now, I was happy because it looks to be a females handwriting. But then I looked up the quote, and it's from the movie "Elizabethtown". Which happens to be the name of the college I went to back east. I know, pure coincidence. But the brain. It likes to make connections.

I heard that was a shitty movie.
