Very random, but: lately, every now and then when I need a good laugh, I return to the great foursome discussion from 2008 (linked to few posts back for context). It never fails. So, this just to say: thank you. I'm happy and grateful for this place. I love you, and I miss everyone we've lost since.

And I still can't believe that some of you were willing to write me in a fictional foursome just to distract me from the war.

Aw Shir that was a lovely reminisce. I miss Omnis all the time.

Omnis leaves a hole in my life, for sure. He'd be so happy to know you posted that, Shir.

I am very happy I got to meet him and I still think of him often.

I wonder

if

there's no longer a need

for this thread

Yeah, it used to be for more personal and/or raunchy content, but there is so little activity on the board that everything ends up in Natter. Natter used to move too fast for people back in the day.

(In a mixture of fandoms, looking to hug it out with the Bitches.) Which reminded me of an attendant I had once who thought my volunteer job with Planned Parenthood was great for me "even though all you'll meet is bitches."(Although I did meet a dude or two, but I think they were all gynecologists...while in conversation, that was occasionally interesting, I wasn't altogether free of the cultural hang-up there.) And then, there's the other thing...if I can talk to a man easily, he's pretty much always married or with someone.

Does it save any sort of space or effort to eliminate Bitches?

There are a bunch of threads that really aren't used anymore, but I like having the option.

Yeah, "None of my friends have a thread this big."
