Happy Happy Trudy!
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ita !, I've watched about ten minutes of the R&I season finale, and Lee is still there. I was worried about that, too.

I'm sorry that I didn't think to come here immediately on 9/11 -- I did later in the day, but it would have been good to share earlier.
And I didn't even think to start calling family until after 11 AM. And all the lines to NJ were jammed, so it was hours before I could get through. Not that I was worried about family, though there was an infinitesimal likelihood that somebody might have decided that of all days to go visit NYC, but that I knew my Mom would be worried about me in Boston.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I actually went in to work just to get my laptop so I could come here. It was so surreal standing on my rooftop watching the smoke from the Pentagon and all the people streaming away along 16th street.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thank you. I'm interested in how they address his absence, but maybe not enough to watch. At the time, all I could think about was how much he smiled on the show. Watching after his death, it was every time he mentioned death and violence that hit me.
It's so not about the show. There's not much there there...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like R&I because both leads are women, with lives, who are almost always the smartest people in the room, who are very different people but who are best friends anyway, who have sex and aren't shamed by anyone or by the writing for doing so. Nobody's sleeping with her boss, nobody's ducking a violent ex, and nobody's making wildly stupid romantic decisions upon which the plot turns. It's about the only procedural I follow any more.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nilly, it's good to see your pixels, and while we miss you a lot, you haven't offended by your absence. We'd be *happier* if you managed to drop by more often. But we understand life gets busy and obligations come first.
Jesse, honestly, I'd go by the smell. If you can find a bin of each type that's been closed tight for a while, see which one is less objectionable and buy those. I have some I use, but can't snap the lid on because they contaminate everything they contain with the smell.
There was such a staunch base of support and solid comfort here on that day, such swift provision of fact and quick aid for locating people when phones were overloaded. When I tell people about this place, how we helped each other through that day is something I always cite.
