Ugh, ND. That really sucks.

The news out of Israel is so horrific. Shir and Nilly, please stay safe and thank you for checking in when you can.

Swouncing
Timelies!
Among all the checking-you're-OK texts and phones I try to do, I've texted our beloved Shir, and in her response, she said something about checking in daily here, so let y'all know that she's OK, and added that she's considerate enough to let you know that me and my family are OK, as well.
Now, it seems so selfish to me, to drop in here, in the middle of all the ongoing conversations (which I, alas, again had to skip, and break my lately-developing skimming habit), just to post a short meMeME and then *poof* disappear again, and do so on a regular basis.
But Shir is wiser and kinder than me, because if I had known a person in a warzone, that's exactly what I'd wished them to do, even if I wouldn't want to nag.
So, um, timelies. I'm as OK as it's possible to be under the circumstances, and you're all in my heart and thoughts and wishes, and I have to log off now.
(It's almost like "Good night, Westly. Good work. I'll most likely try to post again in - my timezone - tomorrow morning". No, it didn't work well with the quote as I'd hoped. Sigh.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm very glad to see you here, Nilly, and to get Shir's updates.
Please be safe.

Nilly I don’t think any of us expect you to read the whole board and comment on our mundane lives, we just want to know how you are doing!

Not selfish at all, Nilly. Please let us know how you are whenever you have a chance. And thank you again to Shir for her updates.

Our wings are not tired.
Nilly and Shir, we know that updating us isn't at the top of your list! We do appreciate so much that you take the time, and our hearts sing when we see your font! Holding you and yours in our hearts.

Exactly. You guys being safe is our primary concern. Catching up on Natter (or not) can wait until the world's not going crazy!

Indeed. What they said.
