What time do you guys want to order pizza?

[HairOfTheDog]

Whenever you're hungry! We can hang out till the show starts :~)

[RosieCotton]

I should at least bring my card over...

I think maybe while we're waiting and until it gets dark, I'll work a bit more on the bed in front of the house. I'm beginning to wonder if I really need a frame for it. It'd look tidier, maybe, but I think there's enough soil there, I may not need to add a lot more.

"Hair and I will continue to send donations as often as finances allow."

Ecurbh, does this mean that the program is no longer accepting requests, but will still accept donations to fill outstanding requests? I've been meaning to send a donation for awhile, but kept forgetting. But I'd like to do so if they are still being accepted.;

[Sam Cree]

Good job!

[Corin Stormhands]

Most excellent celebratory type newz!

[Corin Stormhands]

Sam,

Not sure if ecurbh and winmag are around. But I'm certain the need still exists to cover stuff already sent.

Any and all help is appreciated.

[Sam Cree]

Hi Corin, how's it going?

We've been offline for a week or so, most of the time, with computer problems. I think it's about time to replace the old Windows 98 unit we are running. Thinking about switching to a MAC.

On another note, I cooked dinner tonight for the family. My daughter said it tasted exactly like Amtrak food.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

G'nad just called and his appointment went well.

Very good news! Glad to hear it!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

My daughter said it tasted exactly like Amtrak food.

... is that good?

[Corin Stormhands]

Good to see you Sam. If you're still running Windows 98, then yes, it's time for a new computer.

[Rose in RoseBear]

Okay, a new list:

• A naked person
• Hair
• ninja(s)
• animatronic strippers

Anything else?

[Corin Stormhands]

I'ma gonna say this one more time real nice like.

No ninjas, no animatronic strippers, no naked people.

[Sam Cree]

I think it's only good by the association with riding a train...Amtrak food isn't very good. Not exactly a compliment!

[2Jedismom]

Great news!!

I'm saddened to hear about 68-69TonkinYachtClub...

[RosieCotton]

And I say again...ninjas are sooooo last year.

And I don't have room for strippers, animatronic or otherwise.

Probably no naked people, either.

I'm fine with crossing ninjas, strippers, and nekkid people off the list. (Even though there *will* be a discussion about ninjas in my story.)

But I have been trolling through the Dare Thread at the Nanowrimo site and making a list of crazy, wacky things that would be *perfect* for my characters. (ie, one of the peripheral characters is trying to convince people he's from Austrailia. His accent is really bad. No one buys it. I'm going to have him pretend to be stalked by a giant wombat. Or maybe he'll call every animal he sees a wombat. Anyway, wombats are on the dare thread.) Wanna compete to see who can use the ideas from there?

Just a thought. Makes it more like a buffet. Pick-n-choose.

[Lil'freeper]

since...

[Lil'freeper]

I'm here.
