[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:12:15 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:12:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi KK
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:12:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> hey KK. 🙂
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:12:50 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all. Sorry I'm late. Had a phonecall come in right as I was heading into the office.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:13:13 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> We are a small crowd at the moment
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:13:19 PM EDT] <bynw> hopefully a good phone call
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:13:25 PM EDT] <KK> So I see.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:13:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> But one of sterling quality. 😉
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:14:13 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> Or good pewter at worst. 🙂
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:14:20 PM EDT] <KK> I was one of the ladies who came on the train adventure on Friday, asking questions about Masonic certificates and beginning publishing.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:14:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> "asking questions about Masonic certificates and beginning publishing."?!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:15:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> A combination not necessarily often seen
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:15:43 PM EDT] <KK> She has a grandfather's Third Degree certificate from his lodge in Mass. And a friend who's asking abut getting published.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:16:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> Oh, was it "I saw one of the ladies ..."?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:16:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I think "It was one of the ladies..."
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:16:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> on the phone
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:16:31 PM EDT] <KK> It was....
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:16:50 PM EDT] <KK> on the phone.

[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:16:59 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> serves up tea and birthday cake and sets it on the chatroom table
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hiya HM
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:14 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi HoundMistress
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi everyone! All OK?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:23 PM EDT] <bynw> @TM you need to brush up on your reading Typos skill
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:28 PM EDT] <bynw> hi HM
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> Oh, got it! Was confused because KK should know about beginning publishing ... come to think of it, KK's beginning was before PCs, so maybe some of the info doesn't apply any more?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:36 PM EDT] <KK> Tea and birthday cake sounds great.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> It was a great typo because it totally made sense. 🙂
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:44 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> Oh, got it! Was confused because KK should know about beginning publishing & not need to ask ... come to think of it, KK's beginning was before PCs, so maybe some of the info doesn't apply any more?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:17:55 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:18:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Wherever you cut into it, the cake will be your favorite kind
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:18:04 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:18:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hey Jerusha
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:18:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:18:23 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Then it must be chocolate cake
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:18:26 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> An Everybodies Favorite Cake!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:18:27 PM EDT] <KK> The entire industry is now different from what it was 550+ years ago.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:18:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> 550 plus?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:18:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Baking them is something that can only be accomplished virtually!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:18:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> Everything has gone downhill since Gutenberg ...
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:19:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I know there's a huge amount of self-publishing/
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:19:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> But the technology is faster, you must admit, TM!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:19:22 PM EDT] <KK> 50+
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:19:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Hand set type was very time consuming
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:19:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> Everything has gone downhill since Gutenberg ...
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:20:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> If I ever publish a bread cookbook, I would call it the Glutenberg Bible
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:20:17 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Peeking in from a very winding mountain road with sporadic phone signal, so if I disappear without warning, that's why.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:20:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Tee hee
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:20:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> I shan't claim to being more than decent pewter. 🙂
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:20:49 PM EDT] <KK> True. Retyping was a major time-sink.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:20:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Oh my, Evie
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:21:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hard to chat while in winding mountain roads
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:21:25 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Please be careful, Evie!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:21:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> My mom typed my dad's master's thesis ... repeatedly. I don't think she much missed the secretarial days.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:21:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I hope someone ELSE is actually driving the car!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:21:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm not driving. 😂
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:21:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> You're in a train, aren't you?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:21:52 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Thanks goodness
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:22:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> No, that was yesterday
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:22:09 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, train ttip?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:22:14 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Correction tape on a typewriter was a beautiful thing
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:22:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We're returning home from NC
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:22:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> Also hope it hasn't been raining for 39 days and night & Conall hasn't been at the wine.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:22:25 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> trip
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:22:34 PM EDT] <KK> Stay safe, Evie!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:22:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We had a four hour steam train trip yesterday
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:23:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> From Bryson City, NC
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:23:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> You definitely want to keep Conall out of the wine
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:23:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Lovely scenery?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:23:43 PM EDT] <KK> Jerusha, yes!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:23:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes, lovely fall foliage
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:24:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Our trees are bare not
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:24:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I'd like him to be *in* the wine... a big full barrel. With a lid on it
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:24:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> now, I meant
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:24:31 PM EDT] <KK> Beautiful fall foliage on Friday, perhaps the best I've ever seen.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:24:35 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> That would be quite a varietal, I think, Nezz
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:24:53 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Most of our trees are still green. it's 85 outside now.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:25:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> We've still got a lot of leaves on trees... not so much green, however.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:25:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Connal full red can sit on the shelf for awhile
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:25:24 PM EDT] <KK> My steam train was on Friday, also 4 hrs.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:25:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Where was your excursion from, KK?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:25:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> We hope Conall Full Red will improve with time!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:26:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Doubtful!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:26:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> If it were beer, it wouldn't have much head on it.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:27:08 PM EDT] <KK> Goshen to Staunton to Goshen. Engine was the mighty 611, which normally lives in the transportation museum in Roanoke, but comes out to play several times a year. It was a great ride.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:27:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Kelson sure kept hoping Conall would improve with time, and so did Nigel and Meraude, probably. But he didn't.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:27:39 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Sounds like a great train trip, KK
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:27:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Cool, KK!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:27:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Steam engine, KK?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:27:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> How was the birthday overall?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:28:17 PM EDT] <KK> It was. And the drive to get there was spectacular.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:28:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Our engine was 1702
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:29:21 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> have phon call
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:29:22 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, steam emgine.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:29:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> https://www.virginiascenicrailway.com/ : Shenandoah Valley Limited
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:30:08 PM EDT] <KK> engine. Daphne is on my lap, and occasionally interferes with typing.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:30:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> She's doing a cat's job, then
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:30:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Good kitty
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:31:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Our B&B has recently been adopted by an inn cat, so I got to have some kitty snuggles today
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:31:53 PM EDT] <KK> Excellent! Inn kitties are special.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:32:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> She's about half grown and super friendly to everyone. I suspect she might be pregnant and that the innkeeper is in for a surprise
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:32:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Breakfast and a kitty - what more could you want?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:33:08 PM EDT] <KK> Indeed.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:34:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Happy Fall day everyone. sorry was out putting up decorations.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:34:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Halloween?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:35:01 PM EDT] <KK> Will Camber's Ghost put in an appearance?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:35:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> They may get a lot more Inn cats than they think! A Kitty with some surprises inside!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:35:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I hope so
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:35:23 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We are approaching Chattanooga, where we will probably stop to stretch our legs before continuing home, so I'll wave bye for now.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:35:35 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> cya Evie
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:35:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I will certianly send forth an invitation
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:35:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Bye, Evie
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:35:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Enjoy the stretch, Evie
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:36:14 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> See y'all next week
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:36:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> bye Evie happy traviling
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:36:27 PM EDT] <KK> Later, Evie.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:36:44 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Tis the season for train travel. I leave Wednesday afternoon for Savannah on the much more prosaic Amtrak.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:36:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Later, Evie!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:36:57 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Bye Evie
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:37:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Ah, the Pod child becomes the Pod Bride?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:37:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Mhm
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:37:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> It has been a long time ago when I traveled by train
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:37:19 PM EDT] <KK> Amtrak is cool!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:37:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Love is in the air. Happy bride and groom
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:37:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> I don't think I have ever travelled by train
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:37:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I quite like it, but I've gotten to where I dislike driving much more than I used to.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:38:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I agree DR
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:38:43 PM EDT] <bynw> i haven't at least that i can recall. save for little trains at amusement parks. i might have gone on a short little ride as a kid many many decades ago
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:38:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> And I've gone up and down this way a few times, usually between here and Charleston, so Savannah will be a shorter ride.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:39:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I've traveled by train in Europe
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:40:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The train trip that got delayed because of canoe impact was from here to Orlando.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:40:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Canoe impact???????
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:40:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> I went on the Texas Eagle to Saint Louis. I was sorry that it was somewhat late, I didn't sleep well, and it was about as expensive as a plane ticket.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:41:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> Wait, canoe impact?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:41:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Some dingbat tried to rush the railroad crossing; his truck cleared it but his boat trailer with his kayaks on it did not.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:41:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Dmitri just arrived and sends you his birthday purrs, KK
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:42:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Carys also sends birthday purrs and snuggles.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:42:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I'll bet his kayaks were less than sea worthy, after that!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:42:17 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Ouch, DR
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:42:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Never never argue with a train!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:43:13 PM EDT] <bynw> and that's why when those lights a going. you dont cross
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:44:09 PM EDT] <bynw> train vs most things = train wins
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:44:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Reading back up, I love the 550+ years ago for publishing. that would almost put you back in King kelson's court when you first started writing. Now, THAT makes perfect sense to me. LOL
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:44:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Picture me on my mobile phone, calling the friends I was visiting, who had come from the UK to their summer house in central Florida, to explain that we were delayed. "Sorry, did you say the train hit a CANOE?!" Which shortly devolved into laughter about what a story we'd all have to tell, and how fortunate it was that no one was hurt, just a boat trailer and a couple of canoes.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:45:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> owe! that is a story to tell
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:46:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm sure the story made the rounds of their circles once they got back across the Pond, too.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:46:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> IT does make for an interesting mental picture, because either the canoe or the train would be seriously out of place for a canoe impact
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:46:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> IT does make for an interesting mental picture, because either the canoe or the train would be seriously out of place for a canoe impact to even be possible
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:48:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> There's a famous law satire story about a carriage hitting a rowboat, on a flooded road next to the Thames.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:48:07 PM EDT] <KK> Interesting adventure.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:49:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> A disagreement about whether they passed on the left (road rules) or on the right (Admiralty). They couldn't even choose the court to try the case because that would have determined the verdict.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:51:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> There's a famous law satire story about a ~~carriage ~~ motor car hitting a rowboat, on a flooded road next to the Thames.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:51:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hopefully my trains to Savannah and home again will not have quite such an interesting time as that Orlando trip!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:51:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Safe travels
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:51:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hopefully not, especially if it would make you late to the wedding
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:51:48 PM EDT] <KK> True. What trains do you have to take to get to Savannah?

[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:52:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> You are taking Celestrial train rides, DR. I have never traveld by Metror before.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:53:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> It's a straight shot by train or via I 95 or Hwy 17.

[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:55:24 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I'm back. Had a phone call from a dear older friend
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:55:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Celestial trains, I love that! I wonder if Téméraire will put in an appearance.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:55:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> hello HM
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:55:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi HoundMistress
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:55:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Welcome back, HM
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:56:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Laurnarose
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:56:16 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, DR and all
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:56:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> we are finally having a fall day. It was 100F yesterdey(and all last week) and today it is 75F
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:56:44 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Hi HM
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:56:54 PM EDT] <KK> I'm also back from phone call.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:57:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That is why I could finally get some of my Halloween stuff out of the shed
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:57:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> So the pirate boat will sail again? chocolate pieces of eight?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:57:58 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I don't get off work till 7 so I never do candy anymore
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:58:37 PM EDT] <KK> I've bought my Halloween candy for the trick-or-treaters, but haven't yet opened any of the bags.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:58:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> The pirates are still in the shed. Not sure they will see the light of day. or moon light. I was doing all the enflatables and the pumpkins. and graveyard
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:59:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I'm told we don't get very many trick-or-treaters in this new neighborhood, so that makes me sad.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [7:59:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> goof for you KK. the longer you do not open them the healthier you will stay. saddly I opened the candy corn last night.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:00:02 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I love candy corn
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:00:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> good for you KK. the longer you do not open them the healthier you will stay. saddly I opened the candy corn last night.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:00:13 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Me Too HM
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:00:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> We have no trick or treaters on the lake, so no candy to sample. (Drat)
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:00:20 PM EDT] <bynw> give in to the dark side KK and open the candy :)
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:00:20 PM EDT] <KK> Oops.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:00:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> There are some young families where I am, so I always get a few. One year the little rascals finished off all my candy.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:00:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Bynw, you are naughty!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:01:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> This year I purchaseed individual bags of gold fish crackers. that way when no tricker treaters show up I woun't go into a sugar coma.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:01:48 PM EDT] <KK> Good thinking, laurnarose.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:01:49 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That's a good idea~
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:01:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> They now have bags of smart pop cheese popcorn. Too bad I don't need them
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:02:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> If I have a lot left over, I take it to work the next day. Unfortunately, that's what EVERYONE does with leftovver candy. So we all court sugar comas for a week after Halloween
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:02:16 PM EDT] <bynw> yummm cheese popcorn
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:02:33 PM EDT] <KK> Those sound dangerously yummy. The smart pop cheese popcorn.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:02:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> yumm
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:02:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I'll even eat dumb cheese popcorn
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:03:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> "We have no trick or treaters, so I'll lake the box of 40, please"
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:03:24 PM EDT] * bynw currently has a bag of popcorn that is a mix between cheese and caramel
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:03:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Popcorn doesn't always agree with me.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:04:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> i like each type seperatly, but that is something you just can not mix
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:04:09 PM EDT] <bynw> kelly says she has bought candy but i haven't seen it yet. probably a good thing because i would eat it
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:04:17 PM EDT] <KK> Every once in a while, I get a hankering for popcorn. Theatre popcorn with butter is the best.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:04:35 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Your wife is smart, Bynw! I'll bet there's a reason she's hiding it
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:04:38 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, yes! Nice and buttery!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:04:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> caramel corn!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:04:55 PM EDT] <bynw> KK, did you get the card from the gang?
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:05:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> that is when you call up a friend and go to the movies. got to have the real popcorn
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:05:23 PM EDT] <KK> True.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:05:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Loved caramel corn at high school football games. Haven't eaten it since.
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:05:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Happy Birthday KK
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:06:08 PM EDT] <KK> Thanks to all for the birthday greetings.

[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:06:55 PM EDT] <KK> Amen to that!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:07:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Except maybe when it comes to rolling dice...
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:07:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I may have missed the group card, but at least I remembered to send a card!
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:07:23 PM EDT] <bynw> what? i'm good at rolling dice
[Sunday, October 22, 2023] [8:07:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> All this talk about candy & popcorn is making me very hungry, so I'm going to have to go get some dinner. Everyone have a GREAT week!

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
