Shir, I too came looking for you when I heard a news break. Thank you for checking in!
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Yes, such a relief to hear that you (and Nilly) are safe! Thanks for checking in Shir.
I hope the day is becoming a bit less fraught for you as it goes on, smonster.
I was thrilled to wake up and find my indoors were 8° cooler than what I have the air conditioning set to. (My cats, not so thrilled.) But it made for a great picnic lunch by the lake with my mom.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
smonster, I'm glad you got some sleep. I hope that the Buffista solidarity helps a bit, even after the fact. There are more than a few folks here who care a lot about your happiness and well-being.
Shir, thank you again for bring us word of Nilly and her family. I joked a few months ago about wrapping Buffistas in bubble-wrap, but this is a whole different level. I very much hope you can feel our love and concern for you.

I very much hope you can feel our love and concern for you.
I do. Thank you all. I love you too.
I'm also heading to bed, hoping for a quiet night - as much as possible.

Hey, guys. I haven't been back in a while but when I saw the news I came straight here to check on our Israel-istas. Shir, thank you for checking with Nilly and letting us know you were safe. Also, and please believe this is sincere, thank you for thinking of the non-Jewish people there in this moment.
Happy Birthday to Jen, and strength to all.

Hope you're sleeping well and safely, Shir, Nilly... everyone.
Thanks for the wishes. Fifty-six was well celebrated.

So relieved to hear you and Nilly are okay, Shir. I'm so horrified by the news and thinking about the whole region.
Happy Birthday, Jen!

So glad to hear that Shir and Nilly are OK and sending all my hopes out into the universe for that to remain the case.
