Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay Nilly! Congrats on the new NillyBaby!
ION, who would win in a fight? Pavlov's dog or Schrodinger's cat?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Schrodinger's cat, definitely. He'd have Pavlov's dog all conditioned to respond to him, and then he'd not exist! The dog would just be so baffled.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ahaha! Oh, I love you people.
And hey, new Nillybaby! Today is a good day.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Congratulations, Nilly and family!
Also, I am convinced that networking is never a bad thing.
This. I learned this when I had just started a new job with a start-up. I was happy in my new role and had gotten a nice pay bump, so I was all set. At about the 3 month mark, I got a call for an interview with a company I'd talked to previously. At first I was going to decline and thank them, but something in me said, "Just go ahead and interview. It never hurts to make connections." So I did. Then the start-up started making noises about possibly going under. I got the other job and left a month before the start-up went belly up. And? I've been there for almost 13 years! You just never know... Now I always interview if I get approached, which I sometimes do via Linked In.

Rice Krispies: Another networking story - I got my first big post-college job through my hair dresser at the time! I mentioned I wanted to be an editor and she said she did the hair for someone who worked on children's books. Turned out she was an Editorial Director at McGraw-Hill! I interviewed with her and got the job, which I loved. Only left it due to low pay and glass ceiling. Networking. I love it!

Yay Nilly and new baby! Congratulations to everyone!
Yeah, I'm going to this reception tomorrow basically to network. I'm not great at that stuff--like a lot of American women, I'm not trained to puff myself up--but I do like talking about my job.
ION, I'm reading this Time story about healthcare costs in the US, and it's just astonishing: [link]
