And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm kind of glad it's cold and rainy today, because it's not "9/11 weather", you know?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Getting cozy and having a nap is a primo idea.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Much love to you all. I wasn't here until a few months after 9/11, but I know how much that day is part of the community's deepest memories, and it's one of the places I always turn to.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think I was here a couple years after 9/11 because Deena's eldest was born on 9/11 and she was pregnant with her second when I started posting regularly.

I'm so sorry Sophia.

Our wings are not tired.

Nothing can be done about the flood of memories. I was working out with my Brooklyn native friend when she got a phone call. She was cursing her friend out because she didn't believe her and thought it was a really poor taste joke. Bracing ourselves for having to explain it to our 7 and 9 year old kids.

Like amych it was after that day that I found you. Searching on the internet for something not news.

Also, always remember that it is Trudy's birthday today as well as another close friend.

It seems like you were all here then, but it really was a long time ago and not so long after TT.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I always return to B.org on 9/11 to read the posts from that day

I always re-read those posts on 9/11, too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It seems like you were all here then

Seriously. Laura? amych? You must have been there.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Do we have the posts archived in a special place or do I just search the regular archives. I remember it so clearly

I ended up calling 311, wrapped Kitty in her blanket, put in a box, and waited by the curb with her until they came. I think it was awkward for the pick up guys because I don't think people are normally there. I didn't think they would be so quick.
