Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh! Sorry to disappoint, but I did not go to the ecstatic dance and magic treats party.
I saw a Facebook notice that there's an ecstatic dance party twice a month in my neighborhood (100% UNsurprising), but I don't want to pay $20 to see what goes on.
It's at 10:30 in the morning on Sundays, and it's described as "All ages. Family friendly. Substance-free, shoe-free, judgment-free." I think I'd require some substances to actually ecstatically dance with strangers.
10:30 am ecstatic dance party is a little hard to imagine. I would need, at the very least, coffee for that.
We are maybe coming back online Wednesday although not everyone will have access immediately so that will be interesting. Outlet Sale probably moving to December or maybe being cancelled but almost definitely not starting Thursday. The tentative feeling that I even know what my job entails is almost entirely dissipated.

It takes several glasses of wine to get me dancing at a wedding reception, so, yeah. And I'm not a morning person anyway.
I think I'd require substances to be judgement-free if the event is shoe-free.
Sorry about Tim's dad, Steph! Hoping for the docs to help him recover as much as is possible, and for the care facility to get their act together (whether or not he goes back to that particular one).
I too thought Teppy was going to balk at the shoe-free part of it.
I took today off work (I’m on vacation the rest of the week and initially thought I’d fly out today, but instead tomorrow) and don’t know what to do. I took the dog for a short walk. I’m running laundry so I can pack. I slept in a bit. And now….hmm.

I'm imagining something like that 90s goth industrial dance beneath the underpass in broad daylight.
My mind was going to hippie festival, which COULD happen at 10:30 am, certainly, but getting me there that early is very hard to imagine (unless I had camped there the night before, I suppose, but are Teppy's neighbors into that? I am not a free-range chicken, after all)
I'd have to be barefoot to truly dance ecstatically, and yeah, likely not at all substance-free.
Teppy - absolutely horrified about Tim’s dad’s nursing home. Is there some sort of oversight organization that can be complained to?
ION, I had a tooth extracted last week. After the initial pain, the relief of not having an infected tooth has definitely made it worthwhile. I also discover a company that makes delicious pudding called PetitPot - organic French pudding. I had the dark chocolate & the vanilla bean: both extremely tasty.
And this morning I was listening to the podcast Dirt. He told the story of Mary Eleanor Bowes, who was at one time the wealthiest widow in Europe & then through underhandedness married the worst husband in history. Mary Eleanor Bowes is an ancestress of Queen Elizabeth through her mother. [link]
I am definitely going to look for Wendy Moore’s book about her called Wedlock. Her second husband was the inspiration for the Thackery’s novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon and for the movie too.
Oooh, I have had PetitPot pudding and it is delicious. Yum!
