Thanks, guys. :D Anyone who ever needs/wants someone to talk to is welcome to drop me a line. I'm not online very often, or for very long at a stretch, but I love to talk.

I'll cheerfully be friends with anyone.

Cookies are a thing of mine, but before I even open anything else in the kitchen we're going to have to eat our way to the bottom of the pile of food that's accumulated here in the last three days. <3 Food is the sincerest of all gifts, I think; after all, it says "I'm interested in your continued health" in a way nothing else can quite match. The beautiful and rather touching display of solidarity over the last three days has not only affirmed how really great my mom was, it's led us to only half-joking discussions on whether we should try to rent an extra refrigerator from the Rent-a-Center for a week or two. Can I interest anyone in a piece of pie? Barbecued pork chop, perhaps? ;)

Erm, that's not to say I'm out to start a long discussion (again!) but maybe something for the e-zine? The community team? Just something like random members' thoughts on what RYL means to them, what the important things are, stuff like that.

I don't think you're off topic. In fact, I think you've hit on what I was only trying to. :) Etiquette is basically a prevailing sense of what's "appropriate," so I think a conversation where everyone could weigh in would be insightful. It would tell the spirit of this place, that's for sure.
