Unless you were early eighties baby and introduced to BBS at a remarkably young age like me. Oregon Trail generation FTW.

I vote for phairy.

Abby… Normal?

Same. Could use a reread. What a great book.

He sounds amazing.

I’m sorry for your loss.

A year doesn’t erase what they mean to us. My wife and I still get upset thinking of our Westie that passed two plus years back.

Do it! Plenty out there that could use the love, and it sounds like you’re ready!

We’re not ready. Could be a while for us to seek one out. Our Mr. Kitty adopted us, so of the same happens again, obviously then it’s meant to be. Otherwise, it’s too big a whole to fill.

Pets are amazing. Two weeks without my Mr. Kitty and I still hear and see him everywhere. Hope you feel better.

Red rocket, standing by.

Sorry, I should have left a(n) /s.

That was the joke I was going for.

Enterprise, obviously…

What a donut.

Thank you. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.

Had to say goodbye to my cat this weekend.

The past month or so, he’d become very demanding for attention in the middle of the day, crawling all over the desk and nibbling at my hands if they were typing or using the mouse rather than loving on him.

Every day at almost the same time. And I gave him what he wanted every time.

My Monday would certainly be better if he was still doing it.

Of Mortal Kombat Konquest fame…

Goldeneye did allow this. Crazy. Hard to use other buttons though.

Perhaps your award was the friends you made all along…

If you’re still using live journal in 2024, you should win SOMETHING.

Yep. I found it fascinating. I think the version I had probably had a forward from Asimov talking about how we were wrong about guesses about Venus.

I don’t remember much else from the story except this, and the big reveal of the whodunnit. (Or more accurately the how).
