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.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.

Hmmm, lunch. I want something bad, but I need to eat perishables since I leave for a week tomorrow.

I had to look and see when I first posted. Sept 30, 2001. Reaction to fic in the Bitches thread.

I was reading the Buffy thread! Whoops! I knew i had actually become less smart as I aged!
That poor man, msbelleq He has to be so sad.
I was just cheered up because one of the podcasts I support(moms and murder) just sent me a handwritten thank you with stickers, and they chose pink pen, so it was unexpectedly extra delightful.

The board was such a different thing back then. So much more activity. Not many other social media things.
I delurked in March 2001 and I know by Sept y'all were a fairly major part of my life.

I was only in Bitches for a long time. Natter moved so fast it simply terrified me. I felt like I had to read all the posts and it was overwhelming. Once I got over that I was seriously talky meat.
