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

I am reading the posts leading up to 9/11 where we are talking about the finale

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

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.

Poor Cape Hatteras. I fear someday soon the Outer Banks will simply be gone.
