Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

'Dirty Girls'


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.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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?)

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

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!

I followed the TT cats people over to DWS, and then followed them to other threads. I've subsided to lurking mostly, except in a few threads.

I love that sentiment. Our wings are not tired.

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

Timelies all!

Hugs for all who want/need them.
