I bought a pretty box yesterday at Home Goods for the small collection of toys I have. I need something nicer than the cardboard box with the flaps torn off. Hopefully when Mom visits she won't ask about it. (It's too tall to fit under the bed).

I use the same 30+ mutual friend criteria to know whow is a Buffista.

When I get a friend request, I go through "Buffista, or Daily Kos?" Usually, I can tell by how angry they are, or if they "!!!" Buffistas generally know one is enough...punctuation wise, anyway.

Hmmm, unlike the rest of me, my memory has indeed gotten old. Did you visit NC when I was still there, maybe? I also vaguely remember a relatively large gathering of Buffistas at a restaurant in Boston.

Was it when you moved from NC? I remember meeting you, CaBil and his wife (whose name completely escapes me at the moment), your brother, and several others at a diner in the DC area. I remember you in a Spikeloost t-shirt. (And I had to shush Hubs, because he wanted to talk about the latest Buffy ep and you hadn't seen it. And it was "Smashed.")

Carla!

Yes! Carla! Thank you!

Yesssssss, Fred! I totally remember now! And my cat was in the UHaul, and when I let her out to use the litterbox she scurried under the seat to hide and when I tried to get her out she shredded my arms. So I met several of you for the first time while bleeding profusely.

Interestingly, my brother lives in that area now. He's stationed in Maryland, his wife is from Baltimore.

Wow, memories, dang!

There's a pretty wooden double wine bottle carrier that holds a couple of toy clamshells perfectly. All...not hidden, and everything.

a friend got a Lost game from somewhere

Speaking of which, let me post that pic I found. It's up in Buffistas.
