Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.  

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.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, words are hard to come by. Sitting quietly, holding each others' hands virtually, and knowing we are there for each other. Sending love to my Buffistas.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes. Here, too.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That is why I am reduced to quotes.

In another forum that Beverly and I belong to (which also sprang forth out of the Table Talk world), a saying people have used through illness and death of the members, is “our wings are not tired.” It’s a way of conveying we lift you up, for as long as you need, collectively.

Our wings are not tired, David and JZ.

Oh, javachik, that is so lovely that I had to change my tag.

I am wanting a “like” button, Javachik.

I’m glad it resonates.

Laura, I had that as my tag for a long time at the other place. (DriveWeSaid, which is a site where lots of different old Table Talk threads found a home - I think 20+ years ago?)

DWS is about the same age as b.org, structured very much like TT was. And there are a lot of names familiar from TT, and also from FB there. I think we post in different threads, Javachik, as, well as I'm mostly a lurker there.

Compassionately intolerant

I've run out of words. If I could, I would sit with you quietly. Not just David and JZ, not just Pix, all of you.
Our wings are not tired, David and JZ.

Much better words than I could find.

I wrote something last night about being 'the net, the tether, the lift and the love.'

But no combination of my own letters is sufficient.

Oh I’ve seen a lot of your posts there over the years - but I’m definitely 95% lurker there these days. It took me a long time to figure out it was you! I’m mainly in the Coffee Shop because that’s who I was posting with circa 1995 on TT. But I was in and out of a lot of threads on TT, just never Buffy ones because I didn’t watch that show until I met alla youse!
