ita, I do something think of my sister by her LJ/wider fandom handle (which is different from the one she used here.) But she also has so many other names, depending on the context - to my kids she's Aunt [Realname], and when I talk to my mother I often fall into her childhood nickname that she renounced at 18. So.
I would be there right now.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Liese, that's so tragic. My heart goes out to your friend for the loss of her son.
Nilly, I hope you have an easy fast. I could never imagine you offending me but I love your Yom Kippur post. It makes me think and reflect on my actions for the past year.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Many sympathies, Liese and loved ones.
And an easy fast to Nilly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In completely shallow news, I looked in the mirror before I put my dress on this morning, and a person could have gone somewhere in just what I was already wearing -- cami, short slip, boots, all black. Kind of hot! But not work-appropriate....

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{{Liese and Mary}}} I am so sorry. That's just heartbreaking.

Exactly this. Thanks, Nilly.

Trust my rage
While I'd obviously heard of Yom Kippur, I have loved Nilly's posts over the years. I think they have done such a great job of teaching me about offense and forgiveness. Yom Kippur is not my religion, but I (and others here, I know) have worked to incorporate the idea into my life.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Re: twitchange auction
The auctions are sometimes for a 90-day follow, retweet, and a mention. Others are 3 auctions with each item separate. Some celebs have thrown in bonus items like a call, a set visit, autographs... It has been suggested that an organization or company could bid for the retweet or mention from a largely followed celeb in order to get publicity. I find it all very interesting.

Thoughts and prayers to Mary and her family and with you also. peace.
Nilly, you have not offended me in the last year. I miss your posts, but each time you are able to join us it brightens my day and makes me smile. You are in my thoughts often. G'mar chatimah tovah.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
You've done nothing to offend me, Nilly. I wish you a meaningful Yom Kippur.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm not even sure I can process the idea of Nilly ever causing offense. As American Jews redundantly say, good Yom Tov to you.
Liese, I'm so sorry. How tragic.
I just found out a longtime employee from another department died yesterday. Not someone I worked with, and now it's bugging me that I can't quite remember who he was. I'm not even sure we ever met.
