No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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

Timelies all!

Caftans sound interesting, but I’d have to wear shorts or something like that underneath because of thigh rub.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I never went to a F2F, but the idea of caftanpalooza sounds wonderful.

We’re all so much older now totally different vibe.

I spent the weekend with my friend who passed’s husband, mother, and a brief visit with her son. The memorial is in 3 weeks and I’ll be back for that. We’re are struggling in different ways, but it’s easier together.

Enrobed? Like with dark chocolate, but where the chocolate is love and support and blessings.

Enrobed in a caftan of care.

I just dreamed I was going to my first day of class, freshman year undergrad.

I very often dream I'm in college, only in some weird way I'm both 18 and my current age. Also the campus is a weird blend of Penn (where I went to school) and UW (where I've worked for most of my adult life). I call it the University of Washylvania. And recently I dreamed I was some vaguely young age, maybe 20, and my high school crush was in love with me! And it seemed great! Only at the very end of the dream he said something like, "I bet you won't agree with my politics," and I said, "Why is that?" and he said, "I voted for Trump." Whereupon I slapped his face and woke up very happy to be in my real life.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We (Cowboy (his noms de 'net) and I) are going to be in Denver overnight on Monday, Sept 11. I know Suzi is still in the area and likely Nicole. Mini-F2F and meet my BF?

Cleveland is hard to get through from California and I messed up so we are overnighting.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

My college classes dreams usually feature some form of juggling my current job in the middle of the classroom.

We could do a caftan of love that gets passed around like the childrens' clothes used to.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My college dream are always that I need to get to class and cannot find the building. Or occasionally I can't find my class schedule and don't remember what/where any of the classes are.

One of my recurring ones is realizing it's almost the end of the semester and I've forgotten one of the classes I signed up for, never attended a single lecture, and of course it's too late to drop the class and it's going to wreck my GPA and maybe make me flunk out altogether.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

I declared I'd entered my caftan phase after I bought a giant, shapeless dress in Greece this summer, and I'm never turning back. I started wearing long boxer-type shorts under all my skirts and dresses a while back to avoid sweat and rub, and they were a game-changer. I actually wear all my dresses now!

I've left the pleather pants behind and I'm ready to embrace the caftan life.

This should be the 2023 Buffista motto.
Correct.

Also, boo to migraines. I've had a minor stomach virus the past five days (seem to finally be past it now), and I also say boo to that. Stupid teenager germs.

Ugh, I have this one, too.
