Other It is with great regret I inform you that I have had to turn on reputation filtering.

Hi Folks,

There has been an influx of repost bots on the sub recently. While I would normally object to any form of post filtering, it has become necessary.

I will be tweaking it to requirements so if your post gets slapped down by it, send us a message and we can look into it for you.

A big thank you to the people who report these bots every day. Rest assured, they are being banned on sight but I am a mere mortal and they seem to be the proverbial Hydra - no matter how many heads I chop, more doth rise.

Thanks for listenin'

Mod

Weird/Random Found by TN State Capitol, feels odd to just sit perfectly there when I’d think it would fall down the grate.

I don’t really know what it can be? Handcuff feels oddly out of place since it’s starred, maybe something relating to the state troopers that sit by the Capitol? No clue.

Hi! This is my first post here. Today at my university they were giving away free books (Most of them were antique but in a good condition) to mark International Library Day (? (It's tomorrow, but I think that is the name of the day) And when I first opened this in my class today, I noticed this dedication and yep, for some strange reason, that book ended up in my university library somehow.

Wherever Albano is, I hope he is well and thank you very much for donating a book about an analysis of women in the history of sport. It seems really cool. ;)

Love Notes Love Letter hidden in a used book

The Evening of the 11th, 9 hrs. after we were together.

I'm not so much at a loss of words but more or less at a loss for expected emotions. Perhaps the whole thing hasn't sunken in yet, that you'll actually be gone and the person who I have been spending much of my life with for the last 8 months will only be assessible through mail or memory. I will not forget New Years Eve, when you told me what you did, and how we both just laid there, crying. I was touched, saddened, glad, overwhelmed but warmed in my heart. We've made large leaps since you announced your engagement with the Air Force. I think the first move was the night we expressed our feelings/intentions of our relationship. (When we talked about Ted, Lex, etc.) I noticed the communication automatically "bettered" the next morning. And, the second move on New Years, when yet again, cooped up feelings were shared. The last few days with you were some of the best and I think closest (without thinking too deeply.)

But I don't want to see this all as a Bad thing. You are entering a new chapter in your life, and I do think you are preparing youself slowly but surely. I'm anxious for you. I'm anticipating many successes for you when they recognize your stamina. I'm happy for you. But Oh I'll miss you. Everytime (for the last 3 nights) that I fell asleep in your arms... I was trying to savor the moment, absorb you, remember you. I didn't have a goodbye speech, a motivational umph, anything, just a quick goodbye with kisses that were quick, too keep me from crying or thinking too hard.

As for me? It's my "calling" to take some time for myself. I feel that even today I got a ton done. I feel like a mentoring monk. And I'm excited about starting school. That's a first.

I'll be in touch with Aaron, and I may even step into the BBC a few times. As long as I can still hear your voice in my head, I know I'm OK and haven't forgotten you. My head aches and I'm done for now. I will dream of you this evening.

Goodnight.
