Betsy - wonderful news about your husband and son. Just magnificent.
I only wish the same for you.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Betsy - that is so wonderful! I am so happy to hear it.

I'm skimming a bit. ~ma and love to all (though I did get to see Betsy's news - dear, I am so happy to read that).
I'm now officially exhausted. And I really still can't believe that ita's gone. I fucking hate the thought that she's not in the world anymore. This is so wrong.
I am reading Allyson's book when I can't handle with all that's online, and it's so wonderful. I brought it to work with me, to explain people what this community is. What it means. Thank you for the book, Allyson.
And I love you all, and I'll finish my cup of tea and go to bed soonish (10:35 PM here).
Don't you ever go away.

I'm still working to catch up in ita's thread, but has anyone contacted katefate? I saw that she checked in the delurking thread in 2013 and has a profile addy. I'm just clueless what to say and wanted to defer to others who have been contacting (reaching out to) past buffistas.
Work today sucks beyond the telling of it. No concentration whatsoever.

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
Betsy, that is wonderful news! I'm glad they were able to get relief.
Sean, much ~ma for you as you go through the process. I'm just happy it's going to mean an improved quality of life for you.
It is nice to see so many of us back together on the board. And like everyone else has said, the reason for it sucks mightily.

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!
Betsy, I'm also glad to hear the good news about your hubby and son. May some similar relief be coming down the pike for you sooner rather than later.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
And I really still can't believe that ita's gone.
Yeah, I've swung back around to disbelief today.
who have been contacting (reaching out to)
Oh, you'd better believe I see what you did there, missy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Suzi, I emailed her maybe five minutes before you posted. It hasn't bounced back, so, fingers crossed. I've also pinged Kathy A (whatever the reasons for her choice to separate from the board, it's part of her history and she's part of ours; I can't imagine she wouldn't even want to know).

Betsy, I'm so glad for your family! May resolution find you soon too.
Good luck, Sean.
Mercy. I am flatter than a depressed pancake today. No energy, intermittent tears, re-evaluating a LOT about my life right now.
Everything seemed so good a few days ago. Now. Not so much.
Hugs and supportive distance all around.
