Hey Kady!!! I'm pouting along with you! Sure wish you could join us... darn... Maybe we can post a group pic if and when this takes place. Or stand in front of a street cam...lol We could hold up a sign with TVCH on it... and that might make up for those who can't join us.

Speaking of Hippy clothes--in Port Townsend, everyone is an old hippy and we still wear the same clothes.
Not everyone drives a volkswagon bus anymore, however, some of us drive 30-year-old pickups or Volvo station wagons with a rubber dinosaur glued to the hood for an ornament.
My favourite garment is a black velvet cape I wear all winter long, sweeping over hill and beach when the moon is full.

Catfat: Ohhhh you braggart... just because you kept your shape, do you have to rub it in???? roflmbo

You sound like my type of gal. I'm Wiccan, so I can appreciate the black cape. hehe

Lorry: one of your earlier posts (empire dresses) has again brought me to one of my weird digressions:

During The Empire (Napoleon), those dresses were intended to emulate the women's clothing on ancient Greek statues. And I read this bit that just floored me: If a woman was going to an important party or function, she would not wear any underwear; she would select a fairly sheer dress; she would then wet-down the dress so that it would cling to her body.

That was the limit of info given, but I kept wondering: what if a dress dried out during an evening. Did they have rooms where they could get spayed-down again?

I also kept wondering what the pneumonia statistics were like?

Oh, just noticed Wiccan. Lorry, you just never cease to amaze me.

Catfat: I just have to see your part of the world. It sounds fantastic. (don't worry; will not come knocking on your door: am 90% hermit..) I just got the travel brochure on your peninsula, but haven't had time to read it yet.

Enigma, you would love our town. Lots of artists, writers & musicians. And 90% of us are hermits. We just leave each other alone.
Lorry, lots of pagans and wiccans here, too. The covens are listed in the phone book under "churches", or at least that was the case until they trumped up charges against them and now its pretty much kept private.

Wow, I love you guys. Lorry, you never cease to amaze me, every new thing I learn about you truly knocks me on the floor in awe. My late SO was a practitioner of Wicca, actually was a medicine woman. Never cut yourself short, fighting the good fight is what it is all about. And you are the best of the best fighters!

Enigma, that 10% of you that is not a hermit needs to come out and play. Some folks are trying to set up a Nor'Easter gathering of TVCHers and you must go so I can meet you! The King of all trivia.

Reader, Thanks for the heads up about my adoption!

Enigma, get yourself adopted, now! Some cybermoms and dads share their credit cards w/ their kids! lol

I have a sister and her name is Lorry and today went from a bad day to a great day in the blink of an eye! Yeah for me!

Lorry, I have given you the wrong impression. I am not wearing the same EXACT dresses, I am far too "fluffy" for that. I find lots of plus size India-type dresses at the thrift stores.

ROFL.. Catfat... I'm darn "fluffy" myself...lol

StillLurking... I've been a Wiccan since I was a teenager. It has allowed me to observe the world around me in a better light. I bet you have such insight into the Wiccan ways. I'm thrilled to call you "Sister". That was a real kick for me... I'm so glad I overcame my fear and posted in the adoption thread.

Enigma.... come get adopted!!! I can't stand you being an orphan...lol

Hey Lorry, over in the "Jon will walk the plank" thread you asked if I am a regular since you had not met me before. I thought it better to answer you here rather than there.

I am fairly new here, been around for a few months mostly as a lurker. I have posted in the "Getting to know you" thread, the spoiler threads and the Deadpool. I certainly enjoy your threads, you ask the best questions making us think and respond.

Well then let me Welcome you again Gen. Please make yourself at home here and don't be shy.

I was a lurker for a very long time and this season I decided to take the plunge... lol Glad you joined me.

If you need any help, or have any questions, let me know. I know I am still not too familiar with all that TVCH has to offer, but thankfully I have met some great people that have the answers. Gosh this place is just huge. lol

Sorry guys. Am feeling bad. My Trish is gone. I'm back in mourning black. (last time was Lil.) Want to be alone. Gotta get-a-grip on myself and rally.

Ohhh Enigma... don't let it get you down, your gal will be returning soon. I know how you feel, I was soooo upset that Ryan Shoulders was booted. He wanted so bad to be in the game.

O.K. I feel a little better. I'm back.

Well, while I am aware of Wiccan, I don't know much about it. Have decided to try to do a net search to learn more. But what's nice, it that you folk have inspired an interest to 'learn something.' And that's what's nice about this thread...

Is this board frozen up again? No one seems to be posting for the last few hours. Or maybe everyone else has a life except me.

Engima: Catfat's town is all she says it is and much more. It hasn't been spoiled by great hoardes of people or lost its smallish town charm. Hope you do visit the Pacific Northwest sometime it really has lots to offer.

Shewho: I'm tired of NYC, and keep slowly hunting for a place to spend my dotage. I had sort of ignored the Pacific North West (also known as the Canadian South West, for out Canadian friends) because I kept reading about massive humidity. But now am rethinking. And the area has the two things I like most: acean and mountains...

O.K. guys, have started learning about Wicca. "Harm None" (but my computer froze when I was trying to get to lists of gods and godesses).

Enigma: I am an Oregon gal at heart and now live in beautiful Washington State. I've been in Charleston, SC, Milwaukie, WI and Chicago, IL and they all have more humidity than we have here.

We have a wonderful change of seasons with some exciting moments (nothing dragged out like months and months of snow), gorgeouse mountains, a spectacular Pacific coast and so much inbetween. I can only encourage you to visit and then decide to stay.

It would be a switch from NYC but I would think you'd find plenty of adventure and intellectual stimulation...and, of course, you'd always have your computer. ;-)

Seattle has 30-35 inches of rain a year. Port Townsend and surrounding towns get 15-18 inches. A little snow sometimes. The town is over-run with deer so tame they eat the roses right off your porch. No one locks their doors, and I'm not kidding. Our harbor is so clear you can see the eel grass growing on the bottom. Most of us are environmentalists and 15% of us voted for Nader. We have more galleries than we do bars.
Oops. Why am I putting this out on the internet?

It isnt the HUMIDITY. We have tons of rain but places like Ontario (back East) have horrible hot humidity to a point where it is uncomfortable.

We often have rain from October til May. The sun comes out regularly as well but then right back to the grey skies and rain!!

If anyone here is considering coming to the West Coast to live, do consider your health. This mild but WET climate is tough on arthritis sufferers, and asthmatics.

You guys really have me intrigued.
—I'm sitting here in NYC; it's 67 and I'm already feeling the humidity coming in for rain which is forcast for tonight and all day tomorrow. No place is going to be much worse than this.
—I don't really 'use' New York anymore, but I'm still 'paying' for it.
—Yes, there would be some culture shock. And –let's face it– you can get anything you want here –generally at any hour, and probably get it delivered.
—I have the experience of my weekend hovel-in-the-woods. It's rural. I have to drive 15 minutes to get to the nearest small village. (That's a little too small; I think I want a small town...)
—Just took a look at the peninsula brochure. Looks just wonderful (It's mostly confined to the Forks area...)

I have to think about this. A big move. (But I know I'd want a dinausaur on my hood...)

Ah, yes, a tidbit to share: There is something called nakednews on the net. They seem to get serious news via BBC. The only thing is that the broadcasters are all naked. (Surveys seem to show that –yes– viewers are distracted. But that only lasts for about three shows. Then people just seem to pay attention to what is being said.)

This is a wonderful world. It never ceased to amaze...

Hi everyone - enigman, isnt that just "too much" information?!!!!!

Hi Stilllurking (and Lorry!!) so glad you are venturing to other areas, it was always a let down when BB ended, and I just wandered away. This 'adoption' thread gives you a connection to stay around and play... stilllurking, I"m watching Adven, glad you found your folder, looks like he adopted a cinder too!! If you want some more information on Adven, he posts in the caring section... when you click on "members" area, it takes you to 4 or 5 choices, one of them is here... Adven's posts gave me a whole nother insight to adven.

well, I promised my 5th grade class I'd get caught up on Survivor news (they know I check the internet!!) I had a busy weekend, my ds came home from college!! But I wanted to stop in and say "HI" to everyone!!
