P-C, cool.

Thanks for all the congrats. It's pretty damned awesome. My grandfather suffered with post-Shingles pain the last few years of his life; he's the reason I took this job.

Awesome news java!

My grandfather suffered with post-Shingles pain the last few years of his life; he's the reason I took this job.

My father too. He'd been through so much and it was clear that nothing compared to shingles.

Yep, gramps said it was worse pain than his WW2 shrapnel injury and North Carolinan circa 1925 "home" dentistry combined.

I don't remember silver affecting them. What does it do?

First, we saw Buffy's cross burn a scar into Angel's chest when they hugged.

We also saw Buffy torture a vamp by dropping the cross into the vamp's mouth and holding the mouth closed.

I thought those were the religious symbols, not the silver.

Hmm, it waa a silver cross, so I thought it was the silver that did the burning. Have crosses made of anything else burned?

I'm pretty sure we've seen wooden crosses have that same effect. I can't think of any examples offhand, though.

Spike got burned by a wood cross after he came back crazy from the soul, and AtS had Angel getting burned by wood crosses in the floor when he was fighting for Darla.

Yeah--it's the crosses not the silver doing the damage in those scenarios.

And Buffy wore silver jewelry all the time, and that cross was the only time we saw it burn Angel.
