What is even happening?

What Teppy said.

We were at World Crossing then. It's around the time I found the board (that is, I think Julie followed Allyson and Kristen and I followed Julie, but we mostly lurked, and she'd send hilarious shrift posts to tempt me to the board).

Edited because what's a Tepoy?

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

y'all, I'm so thankful for our lack of images today -- I'm having trouble totally staying away from facebook because it's where the hurricane warning updates are coming in fastest, but the very same people I'm relying on for those are a few first responders who are posting ALL. THE. PICTURES. IN. REAL. TIME. HOLY. SHIT. NO. PLEASE. STOP.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

If this were Facebook, this is where I would post a GIF of someone laughing delightedly.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Boy was I tally meat back in September 2001. I am reading the posts leading up to 9/11 where we are talking about the finale and I actually sound reasonably intelligent. I think I lost some brain cells along the way, and/or posting mostly by phone has made things harder.

But we can't post inline GIFs because WE OLD.

Are you reading the Buffy thread? All the 9/11 stuff is in a Natter thread.

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

I don't think I've shared this here, but one of our drivers has had the most traumatic year.

One of his sones had a heart attack and died in Feb. it was completely unexpected. His son was late 30s/early 40s. Then in early August he came home to find his wife having a massive seizure in their kitchen. She died at the hospital. She had never had seizures before, wasn't in great health, but no sign of anything serious. She was 60. A week later, his daughter, who has a lot of problems with addiction and the law and was living with them, killed herself in his bedroom.

I just saw him for the first time in months. Poor thing. I know he would fall apart if I hug him, so I did not, but oh my heart.

And in much lighter fare, what to have for lunch.
