What is even happening?

I think we need a new Natter.

(I like Maria's revolution/revelation)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I love the Hamilton refs too, but I think we need a non-earwormy title. Pursuit of Foaminess works for me.

Our wings are not tired.

Okay, on it.

Go forth and Natter. "Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess"

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

NO EARWORMS!!!

At least it was a good one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will be earwormed by the chosen title as well, but I guess it's less obvious.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As long as nobody updates the slugline to "these are our ideals we shouldn't settle for less" I think we'll be okay.

Hey. New board.

Is that a proposal? I would second that proposal.

x-post from FB group..

Apparently FB has us listed in user feeds as a recommended group now. We have 3 pending users. Help!! I am hesitant to accept new users when our home board can't accept new users. Yet, some of the requests look like people who would be nice additions to the group. Ideas? Suggestions? Someone want to look at the pendings? In the past I routinely deleted requests from users that had been on FB 3 weeks and were in 897 groups, but the recent ones are legit at first glance.

A suggestion was made to add a few questions to determine fit.

It could be that we can change to 'secret' and not have people finding us.

brillig

It depends on what we're using the FB group for--emergency gathering place and bulletin board or general group. I'm in favor of something that aims for people who know a bit about us as a group before we let them in.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'd be more comfortable changing to secret.
