Oh, looks like it started at 10 am (Chicago time)...she was still online here at that point, right?

because it DOES happen

Yeah.

Sorry, I know you were just talking about your anxiety being triggered.

Oh that's old news. And More my mom. Seriously she has a gift

It's not fair to her, but news coming from her is always somehow worse even if it's the same news

Rae, please do respond when you get a chance

I think news from a mom is worse because it feels like there's some obligation to do something about it, as the good child. And there's not always something to be done.

sigh Okay, I've got to get back to work here. I'm guessing Rae is currently having a lovely time and not paying attention to her phone.

??

pretty dead on there. It's like "I can't FIX this, you keep telling me about it"

Driving holding a cake

Bbs

Rae, there was a shooting in Highland park. glad you're okay

later , Rahne

Rae, thank goodness. Okay, I'll be back later. Hugs

Well, now talking about mere gaming ideas feels awkward 😮

yeah

Anyway Hugs I'll work on some stuff. I'm glad you're safe at home. I wish it were a happier 4th for us all

just, re, gaming - Dagmar is supposed to be in Storm training? IDK

Zipping back to another store for apple cider vinegar…

... because on a holiday it will always be something....

Which is more than Horse care Nod Okay. Def need to try to get you and Rahne to play some together, Catnik

Maybe she'll be put in charge of Pennons war games as training.

BUt she needs something with consequences mmm

mmph

sorry

Hey, I asked. I want to have this fun for folks, you are a folk 🙂

I can see considerate consequences possible in Pennons war games.....

Yeah, Dirk could lose a bet!

Please someone tell me I have enough food and I need to stop.

Hamburgers, hot dogs, brats
Buns, fixin's incl cheese & bacon
Bacon Thousand Island salad kit(s)
Corn on the cob
Baked beans
Spiced apples (on biscuits with honey)
Watermelon
Biscuit shortcake with blueberry compote and strawberries w/ice cream/whipped cream

can I come?

I don't have anything

Aw Cat, of course you can. ((hugs))

MOST of this stuff is pantry or freezer items, or stuff that needs using.

You have enough food , Shady, and need to share with Catnik 🙂

I think I have an acceptable balance of fruit/veg & starches. Ok.

That was my concern.

I'm also going to grill some onion to use it up.

I love Corn on the cob, particularly with a bit of a sear/char

best when it is shoved into a fire

like, just stuck whole in the coals to roast

mmmm

Hey, all.

Hey

Catnik, the answer on Storm training is yes, and I've been dropping the ball on that (among other things). I guess I'm not sure exactly what that would look like. Brekke would certainly have her be part of setting patrols.

Plenty of combat training, too.

Hmm...some more fae history stuff, too. Battles and such.
