[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:07:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi Laurna, DR, Rvanne
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:07:14 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> My luggage, touch wood, has never gotten mislaid, but better safe than sorry.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:07:16 PM Eastern Daylight Time] Nick web15 is now known as KK.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:07:24 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:07:50 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> how is everyone his evening?
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:07:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:08:01 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> DFK I am going to get to you your Fiona Barbie so you can take her to the event. I do promise
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:08:07 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello KK
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:08:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:08:21 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> how was your week?
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:08:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> @Laurna that sounds like fun. Wish you could come
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:08:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Me too
[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] [7:09:52 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> 23LB's HOO HOO NO
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:09:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <bynw> i shared this earlier ... we had 80 degrees on Friday. high upper 70s on Saturday. And today the temp dropped and this happened:

[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:10:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hey all. At my brother's, so I'm in and out
[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] [7:41:14 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <The_Bee> ah, ok thanks
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:41:16 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> His late wife's first cousin once removed (aka the son of her first cousin), who moved in with them about a year ago to go to a better school for his last two years of high school.
[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] [7:54:13 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] [7:56:23 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> Internet
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:56:28 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If it wasn't baby shower related, it didn't happen this week
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:56:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Truth
[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] [7:57:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good Night KK
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:57:49 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> See you later, KK!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:57:50 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <HoundMistress> Night, KK. Have a great week!!
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:57:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of purple sparkles.
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:58:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That sounds creepy, Bee
[Sunday, March 30, 2025] [7:58:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time] <KK> Nighters, all!
