I will be off the boards for about a week. Just in case anyone might be remotely interested.
If anyone is going to SCA Gulf Wars in Mississippi (I found a sponsor to pay my way! Woohoo!), I will be somewhere within Trimaris encampment or mostly at Herald’s Point. See you folks in a week.
Have fun, stay safe, bring 'em back alive!

Eh, I was gonna say Farmer prolly meant to post that in this thread, but upon further inspection I now see that it’s a copy and paste of Green Bean’s post from that thread, two days earlier. So, is this a beef, Farmer? Got a point?
Supposed to be funny? Or what? I’d be hard put to it to name someone on the boards who was less of a Drama Queen than Screech Owl. She’s just letting us know she’s gonna be off the boards for a week. Some of us appreciate the info. 
And P.S. It’s tacky, to say the least, to quote people without attribution. Especially people like Green Bean, who-- [pausing to put on asbestos survival suit and open trap door to bomb shelter] --who have enough trouble as it is coming up with witty posts, and we like to give the poor dears every scrap of kudos and props we can, when they do come up with something.
[diving frantically for bomb shelter and slamming trap door shut behind her]
Whoa! Settle down Lars.
Yes, the credit goes out to Dr_Paprika for his genuis wit.
I just posted that in reference to the op: I will be off the boards for about a week.
In my humble opinion, I thought is was funny. Stupid? Maybe. Do I care? No. Should you? No.
Sorry screech-owl, nothing personal, I don’t even know you.
enjoy. i expect a full accounting upon your return.
Have a blast screech! I’ll leave the lights on in the Art Gallery for you.
Have fun and be safe, screech.
Okay, I am back. (ICQ is going to be off until tomorrow - need some sleep…)
Okay, on the way to Mississippi**.
[li] - late start on Sunday[/li][li] - two of the three cars have cruise control - guess who didn’t (and a bad speedometer to boot!)[/li][li] - lots of ‘pit stops’ (and I thought I was incontinent at times)[/li][li] - minor fender bender (everyone is okay)[/li][li] - saw a dead bear on the road along I-10 (Marianna, FL)[/li][li] - lots of rain in Alabama[/li][li] - more rain in Mississippi[/li][li] - reports of a tornado near the site (Lumberton, MS) :eek:[/li][li] - more rain in Lumberton[/li]
Finally got to the site, found a place to camp (the very nice people who let me camp with them had built their own propane-heated shower! Warm water, yum!). And started a week’s worth of fun:
Good points -
Lots of battles, lots of fencing, lots of shopping, lots of horses, lots of greyhounds, lots of shopping, lots of good home-brews
I did some last minute scrolls for the Kingdom of An Tir (and got a very nice thank you gift from the King).
I did lots of heraldry.
I did lots of walking.
I finally got over my cold (mostly).
I got lots of hugs and cuddling (see last item in ‘bad points’ listed below)
Bad points -
Lack of toilet paper in the early mornings.
A few injuries.
I need better boots.
Too damned cold at night (but made up for by the last item in the ‘good points’ listed above).
All in all, a good time. I met lots of new friends, renewed lots of old acquaintances, and am looking forward to next year’s war.
I am tired, I am going to sleep.
Thanks to most of you for answering.
'Night!
** drove twelve hours stright and I can still spel. (WooHoo!)
welcome back, screech owl.
sleep tight and happy dreams.
Welcome back oh bird of prey in the night.
It is nice to see you had a good time.
