I like that idea. Besides, you owe me from the last time. :p

You are absolutely correct, sir... you would ride free. LOL I could fit 2 more or 3 if one of them is pretty skinny. It's only about a half tank in my car so it'd be about $5 each if we have 4 peeps.

Well, most people who go do not dress up... just freaks like me, so you could wear whetever. I see alot of gothy stuff walking around there too.

It's only $16.00 if you get the coupon from Wallgreens. That's less than a night at CC, at least for me. You should go!

I was born for that era, if that makes sence.

I'm always amused by comments like this. If people really did research into that time period and saw what living conditions, etc. were actually like, you'd never want to live in any era but the present.

LOL! I think you are right. One of my friends who is a historian was telling me what Chivalry was really all about and it was NOT romantic & actually quite cruel. Chastity devices used to cause women lots of pain & grief. Some of the stories my friend told me were so disgusting, I don't really want to repeat them. Suffice it to say, it is a good thing when a woman does NOT have to wear one of these things, LOL.

Has anyone seen the series on HBO called "Rome?" Yes, I know it isn't the same time period you are talking about, but man, that was anything but romantic/peacful. It was a very crazy & violent time. We really are spoiled with our very "peaceful" modern lifestyles here in America. America's not perfect, but given a choice, I'd rather live in this time period than back then.

You were definitely not born for that era.. heh You're thinking about the dreamy romantic version, you're not thinking about the REALITY of that lifestyle.

Had you been born then and as open minded as you are now, and as you are now, you would be burned at the stake for being a witch or some form of succubus.

Yeah me too. I like the clothes tho.. ;)

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
