You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

That sounds like such a boon, Kristin. Glad your dad has James to watch over him.

Our wings are not tired.

Been reading everyone’s lovely words and so happy to be a newbie in this community. (Yes, nearly 20 years later I still feel like a newbie.)

I’m more inclined to text or call directly to many of you to whom I would otherwise comment here (I’m looking at you, Pix!), so I’m usually pretty quiet.

But I wanted to say “Welcome to the world, Arthur!” Hope by now you’re at home and “relaxing” like a normal infant does! Congrats on the growing family, Debet.

I’m sorry about your aunt, Askye.

Didn’t mean to double post!

So I’ll add that I love “morally elegant” as it’s very fitting.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I know saying that someone is a "true" Christian is kind of a cliche, but JZ is. Kind and caring, passionate about injustice, and the absolute best heart.

Compassionately intolerant

What a boon, indeed. And a mutually beneficial one all around. Wonderful!

I know saying that someone is a "true" Christian is kind of a cliche, but JZ is.
I am not of that tribe, but I did work in a Christian church for about 10 years and it is always such a delight to find those who live the principles they cleave to. JZ is a stellar example.

Because books.

Happy birthday, lisah!

Much love to James, who seems like stellar person. And much love to you, Pix, too. That's a rough situation to balance.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday lisah!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

JZ, “may flights of angels sing thee to your rest”.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

If anyone deserves for that to be real, it is she. And, of course, birthday greetings to Bodymore, Murderland for LisaH!
