Family nostalgia trip sounds grand! I look forward to seeing the hair cut. You could time it for 4pm on a Sunday and we could all watch :eyeball::eyeball:

Remember how I was saying it wasn't unusual for snow after Easter in Michigan?

Ha! Well played.

I love it.

What are everyone’s current thoughts on continuing to use zoom in light of all the recent late stage capitalism on their part?

Whether we use the available toys or not the decline of our civilization continues. If we use the toys to check in with our fellow humans its worth the moral risk.

Corporations and organizations have glomed in on zoon because it was there when they needed something right now. As anything that attracts that much attention there will always be people trying to make a buck off it. While the money boys tussle a small group can slip through completely unnoticed. The tussle will happen regardless of what you do so go, baby, go!
|
um are we on for tomorrow, given it's a religious holiday celebrated with special meals by some.....?
(I think it's the anniversary of FSM's noodles being reheated in the microwave and the world realizing they were still edible...) |
I say yes.
|
4 of the clock? Be drunk, bring an instrument.
|
works for me. I plan to make spag bol to honor the noodly one, but much, much later and it will be a traditional beestmonster family meal -i.e. eaten in separate rooms with no social interaction
|
We are on. Easter Virtual Forks is happening.

That
for the record, the Zoom app for Android is a battery HOG. That's the last sighting of me as I was cursing the phone as it shut down in the middle of my story, goddammit. I've since returned to the meeting, but THEY'VE ALL SCATTERED. |
But in all honesty, thank you limey for hosting these meetings. They are tremendously connecting in a time when connection is in short supply. I appreciate you for all your work. Thank you.

That game you were discussing.....Wingspan... HFS ......how expensive is that currently in a real-world format? :eek: (board games may also be another of my hoarding things, but I was brought up on them and so were my kids...)
($150) (yes, I see it can be purchased for less, but as a starting price, that's pretty hefty!....) |
I paid $60, just as it was at the end of the kickstarter campaign
|
If you want to play via the internet I would love to play with you
|
Yeah that's a pricey game.
We played The Parks game when the girls/lads came for the holidays. The artwork is gorgeous. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...the-board-game |
What platform are we using for virtuous forks? I would like to figure out how to join you.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Zoom, which I still find clumsy opening, but it seems to do well with my low bandwidth.

I was an early backer of that Kickstarter campaign, got the playing cards, etc. I have also backed the expansion recently. I expect to take delivery late summer /early fall. |
You can buy the posters as well.
Is that one on your virtual board? |

Ya know guys, I hate having my photo taken and talking on the phone and all that.... I did it the first time to be a big brave girl and practice for my job interview.... but you lot make it worth the pain ;) ty. :)
|
All the cool kids do it! Some of us are sleepier than others but very enjoyable. Jim on guitar is a nice touch, homey.
|
Dammit, I missed it again. Stupid family drama obligations. Teenagers (and 20-somethings who act like teenagers) are not my favorite thing right now. I WILL be there next week.

I’m not sure you need me to torture a guitar but I’m sure there are some tunes we can sing along to.

Jim is an amazingly talented musician and guitar-maker
