Maria, I just want you to know I've been thinking about you since we heard. Words just keep failing. I, of course, want to do something, but even the offer sounds week and ineffectual, but it's there and it's genuine, if there's anything at all I can do.

[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Like everyone else, I'm here and I'll be here. There's a candle lit for you and Rob in Reno, and there will be more in San Francisco this weekend. Small lights, like small raised hands reaching out, pushing back the dark.

In completely different news, I want a LOT of gold stars, dammit. We witnessed Ruthven mark the bottom shelf on one of the bookcases in the library. We pulled and wiped down the affected books right then, and they're now in a sealed bin with a bunch of baking soda. But I need to go put on some gloves, pull and check everything else on that shelf, and then check all the other bottom shelves.
It's a good thing he's such a cute cat. But wow, not thrilled by this.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
You all are doing exactly what you need to be doing. I'm so grateful.

beth, I'm surprised it doesn't hurt like I thought it would. Right now, it's more bittersweet than anything else. It's good memories.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

The great thing about not being in meatspace with you, is we can give exactly the support you need, and not invade personal space. Sure, we can't hug ya. But, as we all know, support comes in many flavors.

Jilli, your cat is very lucky. As much as I love cats, that is one of the reasons I don't have any.

Oh, Ruthven KNOWS he's lucky. One of the frustrating things is that we don't know if he's also the culprit in the ongoing marking in the basement. We had been blaming it on Trin, since she's the one who has been full of RAGE about the babycats.

{{{Maria}}} I'm sending good thoughts and prayers your way. You can add me to the insomnia shift that has your back tonight if you need anything.
