We used Crowdrise for the big ride fundraiser I do every year and we loathed it, ftr.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't think that it's going to magically change anything
Places that have family/friends in them are better than places that don't. Yeah, as my therapist-at-the-time told me disapprovingly, moving to a different state won't magically make everything better, you'll still be you with your same problems. But! You'll be you in a place that's better for you, and that can make big difference. Just being closer to my (amazingly annoying) family made me a lot happier.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Askye, if you move to Asheville, you may have some or all of the NCistas inviting themselves to visit. IJS. Asheville is gorgeous and seriously awesome. I miss being able to visit Asheville (and think about moving there) more than my hometown. Nearby Black Mountain is a hotbed of lit'ry sorts, and has been for just about a century. Poets, novelists, more artists and artisans than you can shake a stick at, plus craftsmen in every medium imaginable, and from every culture, immigrants and Natives alike. If I could take NC weather, I'd move to Asheville in a heartbeat.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thrive to spite them
The family lives about an hour away from Asheville but that's still fairly close.
When I was a kid my grandparents would rent a house near Ashville and summer up there or most of the summer. I visited there and went to summer camp there for 2 years. I have good memories of the area.
I think....well I have a lot to think about and I need to sleep and go to work and deal with that.
Also think I'm getting a cold because I've felt cold all day and I'm sniffling and feel kinda achy.

This struck me as a perfectly Buffista thing - technology, Legos, chocolate.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's great, Toddson!

And, on a seasonal note, The Pumpkin Spice Must Flow.
I'd sent this to the poor boy in my office who had never heard of Dune ... I suppose it confused him no end ....

Oh, god, I could die laughing at that. Also, I made pumpkin spice pancakes with pecans for breakfast on Sunday. Fortunately, it didn't involve those worm things.

hmmm ... perhaps if you spiked your latte with tequila (or whatever it is that comes with a worm in the bottle)
