Last post by tmcd - Today at 12:59:25 AM(BTW, I was being a smart-aleck with "Why Llyndruth Field". A less-common definition of "field" is "battlefield". Which it was, albeit small.)

About This Site / Chatroom Bots
Last post by Bynw - April 01, 2025, 07:48:47 PMOur chatroom has several bots. That is short for robots. They aren't real people and have specific functions and duties in the chatroom.
On IRC, the main chat, we have 2 bots there:
derynibot - this is an olde time bot for the chat. Today it only has a few functions.
Camber's Ghost - this is a bot that allows the main chat to communicate with the Rhemuthcastle Discord chat. Without Camber's Ghost members would only be able to communicate with someone on the same service. When Camber's Ghost speaks look for the name in between the angle brackets. This is the person you should address.
On Discord we have 3 bots there to assist members with the service. They are generally easy to spot too. The member list on the right side of the Discord screen will have a blue box with the word "bot" in it to indicate which name is a bot and not a real person.
Camber's Ghost - this is the same bot as listed above. And without it as before IRC and Discord would be isolated from one another. So it allows us to communicate between the two systems.
Dice Maiden - another Discord bot. This one only has one function. It can roll dice for any online games that might be played on the Discord service.
Forum Bot - this bot is tricky. It doesn't show up in the member list. So you cant see that it is in the chat. It's tied to the forums here. And it just posts a notice anytime there is a new post added to the forums. Giving information on who posted it. What board and what the title of the post was and if it was a new post or a reply to current post.

- It sends everyone joining the chat a welcome message. This can be customized if you have a registered nickname on the IRC server.
- It gives chat moderator privileges to those members that have that responsibility in the chatroom
- It can roll dice for games

Last post by Bynw - April 01, 2025, 06:07:20 PMWell the Forum ranks went through another revision some time ago to put it in the notion of a fan site. And thus the following ranks were born and have been used now for several years.
The ranks are based on engagement. The more you are engaged and posting on the forum with other fans. The higher rank you will climb.

Forgotten Shadows / Re: Forgotten Shadows
Last post by revanne - April 01, 2025, 03:39:52 PMBack in the safe house, the same afternoon
Edwin bore Elspeth's brusque ministrations with as good a grace as he could muster. He still felt wretchedly ill, and though fighting with Bede had helped to lance some of his frustration, it had done nothing for his headache or his other aches and pains. The warm water felt good to his battered face but when the begrimed cloth was replaced with one laced with some astringent liquid he could not restrain a yelp, for all his pride. Elspeth stopped for a moment and said in a voice as sharp as her liniment, "I can leave these cuts to fester if you would prefer."
Then she added more gently, for in his battered state Edwin really did seem to her more like a forlorn child than the arrogant youth he tried to portray, "Hold still a moment longer, then I'll give you a draught for your sore head and something warm for your belly. For once I'm willing to believe you are not the agent of your own misfortune. I might even be prepared to think you showed sense in declining to go haring off with my brave guard here."
Bede might have been ready to dispute this but Elspeth forestalled him by taking coin from her pouch and dispatching him to the nearest cookshop for whatever soup or stew they might have ready. A soldier might never turn away from a fight but still less would he turn his back on a warm meal.
Bede gone from the room, Elspeth turned her back on Edwin and began to pound a mixture of dried herbs in a mortar, which she then steeped in a measure of boiling water. Without turning to look at him she said, "You did not hear me say this but that fight has been a long time brewing and to my mind it will have done you both good to get it over with, misguided though your reasons were." Then she drained the liquid into a cup, brought it to Edwin and stood over him while he drained it to the last bitter dregs. After a while, Edwin's head began to pound less, and when, shortly after, Bede returned with a large bowl of stew which Elspeth divided out between them, even his abused stomach gave a hungry gurgle of anticipation.
All three of them were hungry enough to eat in silence, and as they did so Edwin brooded on what he had heard. His memories were clear, but just as clearly they were false. The archer he took for a man who would lie as soon as look at you, but it took a braver man than he was to accuse Elspeth of falsehood, even in thought. But how could he know? It occurred to him that surely a visit to the Dean's house would confirm whether or not he had been there. In the meantime, he must swallow his pride and ask Bede for all that he could tell him of MacBee.
Trusting that the food had softened the archer's ire as it had his own, and taking a deep breath, Edwin asked in a conciliatory voice, "I ask your pardon. It seems that I can show the same arrogance that I accuse Sir Airich of. If you know anything that can explain the mess inside my head, I'd owe you one. If it's good enough, I'll mebbes even stand still when you pay me back for that punch."

The Chronicles of the Deryni / Re: Why Llyndruth Field, not L...
Last post by Bynw - April 01, 2025, 06:53:46 AMChecking online for medieval differences for the term "meadow" vs "field". And I get that a Meadow is grassland used for haymaking. Very important for winter months to feed livestock with the hay. While a field was used for growing crops. It wasn't cropland, even though the soil was fertile and moist, since it was used as a haymaking.

The Chronicles of the Deryni / Why Llyndruth Field, not Llynd...
Last post by tmcd - March 31, 2025, 10:11:37 PMI wonder why, in High Deryni, Llyndruth Meadows were Llyndruth Meadows and not Llyndruth Well-Populated Farmland. It does get called "Meadows", which is promising for growing corn in a temperate climate. (What is "corn"? That means whatever grain is best suited to the place. Corn is wheat, rye, barley, oats, whatever.) We don't get much physical description other than that. Grass is mentioned. There's a small knoll to the right of center that Kelson's party mounts before the first parley, but there are good sightlines for a mile or so to the Torenthi lines, and they can see Cardosa and the pass. After the mass hanging, the Gwynedd army is preparing to charge, so the land couldn't be too broken or rocky. So I think it's safe to assume that the land is decent enough, at least for grazing, maybe even plowland.
So why unpopulated? Maybe raiders from either direction came through frequently enough that people didn't want to live there? But (for example) the English-Scots border had people living there, and Lord knows they had raiders through the windows every night of the week and down the chimneys every Sunday and major feast. Plus you'd expect Cardosa and Cardosa pass in Gwynedd's hands would help against raiding.
As an aside, having population there would have eased a little a factor that Katherine didn't mention: food supplies. The horses can eat somewhat, though Western warhorses still need grain. If they drove stock with them, they eat. But what of the men? Thinking of it, if people had been there, I'm not sure it would have helped much. A few thousand men, in England of the same year, would have been a substantial city, and Llyndruth had been blessed with two cities. If Gwynedd drove the peasants west andlooted foraged their food, the Codex says it's early July, so they just have the winter crops and the leavings from the last year. The carefully-raised fruit trees or shade trees would have been firewood for the first night or two.
Anyway. Can anyone make heads or tails of the name "Llyndruth Meadows"?

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:09:25 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> After that, I had DS and DIL try to dress up a doll together--each of them only using one hand and having to work together with the other.

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:13:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The feeding every 86 hours was due to my Dad deciding to pick his age as the number to use, not knowing what it would be used for, of course!

When I sat on my front porch to pick up the paper and admire the tree, a mockingbird came and perched right on top of the tree, silhouetted against the sky, and sang his heart out for nearly 10 min.

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:41 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> One reason I will never move to Iowa, aside from bigger tornadoes.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:43 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Bee
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I see that DR is going back to England again. One of these days she might decide to stay there. Would really miss her but what a great place to live.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:58 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I turned off my heater 4days ago. We might have rain tomorrow so I might have to turn it back on. but I am hoping it will notget cold enough to do so.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:20:04 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> Hi all! I finally found the chat.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:20:10 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> DFK, Martine is an old school fan
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:20:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I mean, even if she moves to England, they still have the internet there.... 😄
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:20:29 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> DFK I agree with you about moving to England.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:20:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> the internet makes the world smaller
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:21:11 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm not sure I would notice a big difference, aside from her being online at different hours of the day.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:21:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> The internet doesindeed make the world smaller, when it works
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:21:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> it snowed for about an hour between 4pm and 5 something ... it's already melting off
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:22:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Just a weather tease
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:22:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My best friend lives 7 hours away, but I chat with him almost daily. I have friends in my local area I only hear from once or twice a year.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:22:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Bynw doe that mean it will turn to ice tonight. that is worse than just soft snow
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:23:17 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> If it's melting that should mean it's getting warmer so hopefully no ice
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:23:49 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> it might get down to 32 degrees just at the freezing mark early tomorrow morning. might have some slick spots but not much to worry about the ground is too warm
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:24:14 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Except that if IA is like here, when the snow on the road melts but the road doesn't fully dry before the temps drop at night, that remaining moisture on the road turns to ice.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:24:24 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> just drive with care in the early morning hours
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:24:50 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> The only "snow" we've had this March is a fraction of an inch of sleet.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:24:51 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> the snow was only sticking to the grass and roofs ... it wasn't sticking to the roads or sidewalks at all
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:25:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That's good
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:25:07 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:25:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> it's gonna be sunny and 50 tomorrow
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:25:58 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> That sounds better
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:26:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> rainy and sixties
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:26:16 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Rainy and 67F tomorrow
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:26:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We're supposed to have thunderstorms right around the time I have to pick MIL up and take her to her doctor's appt. Joy.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:26:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> maybe dry til evening
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:27:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Drive safely then
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:28:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> When I lived on a sail boat we would throw a grounding wire from the past to the water in case of Lightning. I guess cars don't need a grounding wire to hang off the bumper.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:28:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm not as worried about the drive as the possibility of her having a slip and fall outside trying to walk to my car, or one of us getting hit by lightning as she is walking suuuupppeeer slowwwwwllllyyy holding a metal cane, with me holding a metal-spoked umbrella over her like a lightning rod.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:28:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> Your MIL is lucky to have you, Evie.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:29:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> When I lived on a sail boat we would throw a grounding wire from the mast to the water in case of Lightning. I guess cars don't need a grounding wire to hang off the bumper.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:29:29 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I was wondering about that time traveling grounding wire, Laurna. 😉
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:29:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LLLLOOOOLLLL
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:30:09 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Might need one for time travel too
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:31:52 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> How do you wire the DeLorean?
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:32:18 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> You know that airplane of yours, Evie, might have been able to use a grounding wire. then the whole plane could have landed in Gwynedd.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:33:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Airplane made by the DeLorean company and Piloted by Doc Brown
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:33:37 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> It's not out of the realm of possibility, but not imminent anyway. (my moving to England)
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:33:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Lots of Vactions are great though, DR
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:33:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Sorry to disappear for a bit; it was suppertime here.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:34:29 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I was plotting earlier with Ladysmith's ward, who likes to cook, about getting a sourdough starter going when I go back in May.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:01 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:06 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:09 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> Hi jerusha
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:25 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> DR. someone must have Sourdough in England somewhere
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:35 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I almost wonder if it's going to end up being a school report for him, even though he's more into physics than biology and chemistry, but he might get some good discussion with his physics teacher about it. (He's moderately infamous for missing the bus home because he gets distracted talking with the physics teacher.)
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Oh yes, but we'll make our own starter and bake something with it.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hey J
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:52 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:36:14 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Hi, all.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:36:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi HM
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:36:21 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello HM

He and I cooked breakfast for supper on Pancake Day (aka Mardi Gras), and he mostly did the pancakes himself while I scrambled eggs. (I did the bacon in the oven, so it didn't require much hands-on time.)
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:37:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi HM
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:37:06 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Sorry to be late. I was head to DQ for a banana split when my brother called me.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:37:13 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Someone gave me a starter years ago for a Friendship Cake, and all I remember is that the starter had peaches in it, but at some point I ended up not getting around to tending to the batch I had, and didn't know how to start a new one from scratch.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:37:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> If you leave a starter too long, it becomes grotesque
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:38:13 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yeah, the mother became the great-granny sooner than expected. 😄
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:38:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi HM
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:38:40 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Oh, the fruit thing we used to do years ago? Was great on ice cream;
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:38:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Plain sourdough starter is pretty easy to do; I'm going to use the America's Test Kitchen tiny starter so as to waste less flour. While you're getting it established, you have to feed it every other day or so, but once it's going good, you can drop back to refreshing once or twice a week.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:38:58 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hello HM
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:39:39 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I am incapussitated. Carys does not think much of my typing around her, although she doesn't seem to mind my using her back as a wrist-rest.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:40:18 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> Remind me, DR: Who is "he" who likes physics?
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:40:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Luke just assumed that was his natural position. Or worse, lying *across* both my wrists.

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:45:17 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> brb, need blanket b/c I'm suddenly freezing
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:45:36 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Must be a breeze in here from Iowa
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:45:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> He is, and kind with it.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:46:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> That's good, DR
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:47:27 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Smart, kind, polite, and rather cute. If he's not cutting a wide swath across the girls (and some of the other boys) at school, I'd be shocked. He might not say much about it, and he might not know if some of his classmates are sighing dreamily when they think of him, but I'd be stunned if it weren't happening, whether it's known or not. 😂
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:48:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> LOL! He's the beau of the high school!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:48:32 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> One of them, anyway, haha!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:48:55 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> Sigh. Kids have so much to navigate, these days.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:49:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Yes, I'm glad I'm not in HS now;
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:49:41 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> Me too
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:50:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> It does disturb me when I see the school kids get off the bus and they all walk home staring at their iPhones
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:50:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm glad I did all the stupid youthful crap before everyone had a camera in their pocket, for sure!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:50:24 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> That, too.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:50:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> :sigh: I knew a boy like that in junior high.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:50:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Nowadays there are cameras everywhere. I wouldn't have the nerve to be crook.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:51:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> no kidding ... so much stuff would have been captured and on the internet ... that would have been terrible
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:51:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yup. No TPing people's houses or playing ding-dong-ditch when there are Ring cameras everywhere.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:52:36 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Kids still do it, but there's their mug, right on camera.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:52:39 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I didn't TP anyone's house, but I'm guilty of some Halloween ding-dong-ditch nonsense thirty-five or forty years ago. 😏
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:52:42 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That's when you bring out the Yoda masks
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:53:13 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> I didn't think twice about going trick-or-treating all by myself in the 1950s
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:53:23 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Evidently all their brains are still in the other end.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:53:32 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> But yeah, even without adding pranks into the mix, I would have been too self-conscious as a teen to be my regular goofy self if I thought someone might post video of me online.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:54:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> "I didn't TP anyone's house, but I'm guilty of some Halloween ding-dong-ditch nonsense thirty-five or forty years ago." @azdesertrose ! You reprobate! You rapscallion!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:54:13 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> They don't seem to care now.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:54:25 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Not to mention some silly opinion you held as a teen can be dug up and held against you years later, because the internet never forgets.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:54:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> She's a scofflaw. 😄
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:55:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> @Evie.delacourt On another topic how is the sequel progressing?
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:55:38 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's not. I've had way too much on my plate the past two weeks and no mental energy for it. Hopefully as things settle back down this week, I'll be able to think of it again.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:56:01 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> That's true. Never post anything unless you're sure it won't come back to bite you. The interney nver forgets.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:56:03 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Sounds fair, Evie

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:08:55 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The guests filled out a Baby Bucket List of things to do with Abigail in her first year, and a wish list of wishes we have for her, then we played Mad Libs with a story that I wrote that was a hilarious take on how DS and DIL met and fell in love, and predictions about Abigail's birth, appearance, personality, etc. Some favorite predictions were that her mom would have a beautif <clipped messag
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:08:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> ul 1-hour birth experience of a 23 lb, 47 oz child who is 22 inches long. Or numbers in that vicinity. And that she would have grimy chartreuse hair and fuchsia eyes. And an enraged personality, which is little wonder since her parents will be feeding her 7 ounces of milk every 86 hours. 😄
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:09:25 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> After that, I had DS and DIL try to dress up a doll together--each of them only using one hand and having to work together with the other.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:09:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> It was good. And I've had a very productive day today, sorting and packing up items for mailing later in the week.

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:10:07 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:10:10 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> That sounds like it was a lot of fun @Evie.delacourt
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:10:18 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It was, but I'm still tired
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:10:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Kids are screaming
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:10:50 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> oh that doesn't sound like any fun Nezz
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:11:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I guess duct tape over their mouths isn't the done thing. But you can think it loudly and see if they catch the psychic hint.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:11:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> 23lbs doesn't bear thinking of.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:12:03 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> At least screaming kids and barking dogs do not carry across chat
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:12:07 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Mmmmm, so tempting... 🙂
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:12:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> get some liquid gel benedryl ... and make them some smoothies and squeeze a few into them ...
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:12:16 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It could have been far worse. I didn't give people an upper limit of what numbers to pick. 😄
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:12:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> To cute
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:12:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> My 10lb grandson was bad enough - like holding 5 bags of sugar newborn
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:13:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The feeding every 86 hours was due to my Dad deciding to pick his age as the number to use, not knowing what it would be used for, of course!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:13:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Lol!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:13:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:13:33 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> glad you had a good week KK
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:14:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> Bynw, that's appalling. Spring arrived here overnight, with my cherry tree bursting into bloom overnight. When I sat on my front porch to pick up the paper and admire the tree, a mockingbird came and perched right on top of the tree, silhouetted against the sky, and sang his heart out for nearly 10 min. It was glorious!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:14:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Going to head out as it's now Monday here. Have a good week everyone. Zoom next week?
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:14:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> The largest newborn I ever saw in the hospital was 14lbs 6oz and the baby looked like a sumo wrestler.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:14:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Goodnight, revanne
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:14:58 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> KK, I got a message today from Martine, she said she might make it to DeryniCon ...
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:15:10 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Bye REvanne. Have a good week
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:15:11 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good night Revanne
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:15:14 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> night RevAnne
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:15:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Next week would be the usual zoom Sunday, unless KK's schedule says otherwise
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:16:13 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> Martine? Wow, that would be wondeful!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:16:17 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> At 23 pounds she wouod already be a year old at birth
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:16:33 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> And yes to zoom next week.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:16:37 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> At 23 pounds she would already be a year old at birth
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:17:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Who is Martine?
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:17:55 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> I think that would be awesome too KK if Martine could make it. Haven't seen her since Darkover days
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:18:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> G'night, RevAnne.

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:18:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi Bee
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:18:35 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi Bee
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:18:42 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello Bee
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time] * bynw notes that March 30th isn't unusually for snow in Iowa. The latest snow fall for the year was May 11th back in 1966
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:06 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> Hi Bee
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:37 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> Nor have I, Bynw. And her daughter must be a teenager by now.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:41 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> One reason I will never move to Iowa, aside from bigger tornadoes.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:43 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Bee
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I see that DR is going back to England again. One of these days she might decide to stay there. Would really miss her but what a great place to live.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:19:58 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I turned off my heater 4days ago. We might have rain tomorrow so I might have to turn it back on. but I am hoping it will notget cold enough to do so.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:20:04 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> Hi all! I finally found the chat.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:20:10 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> DFK, Martine is an old school fan
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:20:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I mean, even if she moves to England, they still have the internet there.... 😄
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:20:29 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> DFK I agree with you about moving to England.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:20:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> the internet makes the world smaller
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:21:11 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm not sure I would notice a big difference, aside from her being online at different hours of the day.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:21:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> The internet doesindeed make the world smaller, when it works
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:21:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> it snowed for about an hour between 4pm and 5 something ... it's already melting off
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:22:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Just a weather tease
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:22:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My best friend lives 7 hours away, but I chat with him almost daily. I have friends in my local area I only hear from once or twice a year.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:22:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Bynw doe that mean it will turn to ice tonight. that is worse than just soft snow
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:23:17 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> If it's melting that should mean it's getting warmer so hopefully no ice
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:23:49 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> it might get down to 32 degrees just at the freezing mark early tomorrow morning. might have some slick spots but not much to worry about the ground is too warm
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:24:14 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Except that if IA is like here, when the snow on the road melts but the road doesn't fully dry before the temps drop at night, that remaining moisture on the road turns to ice.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:24:24 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> just drive with care in the early morning hours
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:24:50 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> The only "snow" we've had this March is a fraction of an inch of sleet.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:24:51 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> the snow was only sticking to the grass and roofs ... it wasn't sticking to the roads or sidewalks at all
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:25:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That's good
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:25:07 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:25:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> it's gonna be sunny and 50 tomorrow
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:25:58 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> That sounds better
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:26:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> rainy and sixties
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:26:16 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Rainy and 67F tomorrow
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:26:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We're supposed to have thunderstorms right around the time I have to pick MIL up and take her to her doctor's appt. Joy.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:26:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> maybe dry til evening
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:27:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Drive safely then
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:28:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> When I lived on a sail boat we would throw a grounding wire from the past to the water in case of Lightning. I guess cars don't need a grounding wire to hang off the bumper.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:28:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm not as worried about the drive as the possibility of her having a slip and fall outside trying to walk to my car, or one of us getting hit by lightning as she is walking suuuupppeeer slowwwwwllllyyy holding a metal cane, with me holding a metal-spoked umbrella over her like a lightning rod.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:28:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> Your MIL is lucky to have you, Evie.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:29:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> When I lived on a sail boat we would throw a grounding wire from the mast to the water in case of Lightning. I guess cars don't need a grounding wire to hang off the bumper.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:29:29 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I was wondering about that time traveling grounding wire, Laurna. 😉
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:29:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LLLLOOOOLLLL
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:30:09 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Might need one for time travel too
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:31:52 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> How do you wire the DeLorean?
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:32:18 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> You know that airplane of yours, Evie, might have been able to use a grounding wire. then the whole plane could have landed in Gwynedd.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:33:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Airplane made by the DeLorean company and Piloted by Doc Brown
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:33:37 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> It's not out of the realm of possibility, but not imminent anyway. (my moving to England)
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:33:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Lots of Vactions are great though, DR
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:33:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Sorry to disappear for a bit; it was suppertime here.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:34:29 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I was plotting earlier with Ladysmith's ward, who likes to cook, about getting a sourdough starter going when I go back in May.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:01 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:06 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:09 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> Hi jerusha
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:25 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> DR. someone must have Sourdough in England somewhere
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:35 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I almost wonder if it's going to end up being a school report for him, even though he's more into physics than biology and chemistry, but he might get some good discussion with his physics teacher about it. (He's moderately infamous for missing the bus home because he gets distracted talking with the physics teacher.)
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Oh yes, but we'll make our own starter and bake something with it.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hey J
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:35:52 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:36:14 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Hi, all.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:36:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi HM
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:36:21 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello HM
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:36:52 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or make pancakes. He and I cooked breakfast for supper on Pancake Day (aka Mardi Gras), and he mostly did the pancakes himself while I scrambled eggs. (I did the bacon in the oven, so it didn't require much hands-on time.)
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:37:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi HM
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:37:06 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Sorry to be late. I was head to DQ for a banana split when my brother called me.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:37:13 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Someone gave me a starter years ago for a Friendship Cake, and all I remember is that the starter had peaches in it, but at some point I ended up not getting around to tending to the batch I had, and didn't know how to start a new one from scratch.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:37:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> If you leave a starter too long, it becomes grotesque
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:38:13 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yeah, the mother became the great-granny sooner than expected. 😄
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:38:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi HM
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:38:40 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Oh, the fruit thing we used to do years ago? Was great on ice cream;
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:38:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Plain sourdough starter is pretty easy to do; I'm going to use the America's Test Kitchen tiny starter so as to waste less flour. While you're getting it established, you have to feed it every other day or so, but once it's going good, you can drop back to refreshing once or twice a week.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:38:58 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hello HM
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:39:39 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I am incapussitated. Carys does not think much of my typing around her, although she doesn't seem to mind my using her back as a wrist-rest.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:40:18 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> Remind me, DR: Who is "he" who likes physics?
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:40:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Luke just assumed that was his natural position. Or worse, lying *across* both my wrists.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:40:40 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> My boyfriend's ward.

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:41:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Sounds like a smart kid!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:45:17 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> brb, need blanket b/c I'm suddenly freezing
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:45:36 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Must be a breeze in here from Iowa
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:45:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> He is, and kind with it.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:46:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> That's good, DR
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:47:27 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Smart, kind, polite, and rather cute. If he's not cutting a wide swath across the girls (and some of the other boys) at school, I'd be shocked. He might not say much about it, and he might not know if some of his classmates are sighing dreamily when they think of him, but I'd be stunned if it weren't happening, whether it's known or not. 😂
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:48:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> LOL! He's the beau of the high school!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:48:32 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> One of them, anyway, haha!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:48:55 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> Sigh. Kids have so much to navigate, these days.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:49:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Yes, I'm glad I'm not in HS now;
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:49:41 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> Me too
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:50:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> It does disturb me when I see the school kids get off the bus and they all walk home staring at their iPhones
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:50:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm glad I did all the stupid youthful crap before everyone had a camera in their pocket, for sure!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:50:24 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> That, too.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:50:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> :sigh: I knew a boy like that in junior high.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:50:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Nowadays there are cameras everywhere. I wouldn't have the nerve to be crook.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:51:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> no kidding ... so much stuff would have been captured and on the internet ... that would have been terrible
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:51:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yup. No TPing people's houses or playing ding-dong-ditch when there are Ring cameras everywhere.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:52:36 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Kids still do it, but there's their mug, right on camera.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:52:39 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I didn't TP anyone's house, but I'm guilty of some Halloween ding-dong-ditch nonsense thirty-five or forty years ago. 😏
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:52:42 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That's when you bring out the Yoda masks
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:53:13 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> I didn't think twice about going trick-or-treating all by myself in the 1950s
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:53:23 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Evidently all their brains are still in the other end.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:53:32 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> But yeah, even without adding pranks into the mix, I would have been too self-conscious as a teen to be my regular goofy self if I thought someone might post video of me online.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:54:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> "I didn't TP anyone's house, but I'm guilty of some Halloween ding-dong-ditch nonsense thirty-five or forty years ago." @azdesertrose ! You reprobate! You rapscallion!

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:55:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> @Evie.delacourt On another topic how is the sequel progressing?
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:55:38 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's not. I've had way too much on my plate the past two weeks and no mental energy for it. Hopefully as things settle back down this week, I'll be able to think of it again.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:56:01 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> That's true. Never post anything unless you're sure it won't come back to bite you. The interney nver forgets.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:56:03 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Sounds fair, Evie

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:57:19 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> I was home alone one Halloween. Kids came to the door, but NOT ONE said "Trick or Treat." They just stood there silently. It felt weird.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:57:24 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> Ack, I'm going to boogie. Call the Midwife is back tonight. See you, eally see you, next week!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:57:25 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've reached the Messy Middle of the story, where I have to be very careful to pace myself so I don't end up burning out.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:57:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Have a good week, KK

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:58:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That sounds creepy, Bee
