Thanks to the AWESOME JenP, emails for the card exchange should be going out tonight.
Sophia, I can send you the full list of people who opted in to sharing their addresses and you can send from that.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.
'Hell Bound'
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.

USPS Informed Delivery is great! (Except when you're getting letters from the IRS.)
The grocery store parking lot did not look that busy so I decided to grab some things since it's been 11 days since I last stocked up. That was the wrong choice, friends. It was crowded, the lines were long, and people were chatty while in line which I did not appreciate even though they were wearing masks. NO TALKY INDOORS.
There was no toilet paper in the store, so I'm glad I've been stocking up.

Hi guys, DX's sister emailed me. She confirmed that his passing was unexpected and a shock to the family.
They were unsure how to reach out to us as his buffista email was locked.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Thanks for following up with DX's sister and reporting back, msbelle. It sucks and blows and hurts in so many ways, but it's good to know that that loop, at least, was completed.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Thank you for doing that, msbelle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, msbelle.

Oh she responded to me because she now has access to Ed's emails, I did not reach out to her.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Bless DX's sister for reaching out. If you check in with her again, please let her know how much it means to all of us that she did.
And thank you, JenP!
My leg is completely better, but have I gone out and walked my laps to celebrate? No, I have not. I'm irritated with myself, but not irritated enough to get out there. Tomorrow morning, maybe.
I've been darting in and out of stores running last-minute before-the-re-lockdown errands and I don't *think* I've lost LDB, but I don't pay super close attention because the song I am most earnestly trying to avoid is "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime," which a coworker played about 900,000 times one December in our open office and which I will hate forever because of that. That one I've already lost, though at least it was a cover and not the original. So far I've avoided the original, and I hope to stay that way.
