I had a whole section about civic pride.

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Work has been super slow all week and the office mostly empty. Great for the week before vacation. I have gotten my desk almost completely cleared and filing almost all caught up. But now on Friday, my boss has scheduled meetings on site with people from corporate! Whyyyyyyy?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Meetings on Friday are generally wrong.

We get lunch provided today to celebrate meeting revenue goals the last two months. Don't know what we are getting, yet.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I delurked on World Crossing, exactly 14-1/2 years ago. I'd been lurking for some time. But on 9/11, I'd had enough of the wall-to-wall TV coverage (which Hubs was watching obsessively) and got online. And finally got the nerve to start talking.

Next month will be my 15-year anniversary, I found the Table Talk forum just as "Dead End" aired.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It makes me so happy to see another wave of buffista sprog being born. Cultural counterbalance to the quiverfull contingent and all of that.

I started reading Table Talk sometime after S4 started. I didn't delurk until we were on this board, though.

Our wings are not tired.

Like Fred it was the need to get away from TV at that time that drove me on line where I found Buffistas.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I joined in the Table Talk days. '98? It was during third or fourth season of Buffy.

Also, the rumors are true: today is my birthday. I slept badly last night so once I checked my work email and saw there's nothing for me to do, I took a nap. (My boss has been in Paris for two weeks.)

Yesterday I went to the DMV to get my license renewed, and I got the worst drivers license photo in my life.

Happy Birthday Tom!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Happy birthday, tommyrot!

I've saved myself from pizza with a chicken pasta dish with cheese. It was a close call.

Today the scale said I'm at the lowest weight I've been in years, and only 3 pounds from my (first) goal. Man, it's hard. I'd dearly love to hit that goal by the end of the month.
