Listen to the gossip.

No PM’s please.

@joe I always write so no change. I am interested in trying calligraphy on my #BBBlackboard and I wonder if the exercises would end up changing my natural writing.

It is National Handwriting Day! (Who makes these things up?!?!)

Anyone else a fan of papasan chairs?

We have two and matching footstools. This is like having portable lazy recliners!

However some people would say they look dated or just naturally ugly. We think they look nice.

Ok. Well in honor of handwriting day, Boogie Board has some sales. A good time to buy Blackboard if you’re thinking about it!

Lord of the Rings - Sam Gamgee

I had this long-time irritation that I was sure came from movie fans. In my mind, book fans always say "Sam" and movie fans always say "Samwise." I didn't even recall "Samwise" being in LOTR until the Appendices. Well the truth is: Fellowship of the Ring: "Sam" 229, "Samwise" 2 - only in the Foreword! The Two Towers: "Sam" 246, "Samwise" 19 Return of the King: "Sam" 251, "Samwise" 7 The name "Samwise" definitely is in the novel, although not often! As for what fans call him, I don't know if I'm right or wrong! :-)…

@33MHz it seems like it could be helpful. But unlikely to be accurate in any way.

@joe @ludolphus @33MHz @thedoctor I don’t believe any of us are in full disagreement here, we just have different views on which aspects are most important.
I.E. this article, aspects that really concern me weren’t mentioned until the end & were downplayed

Went to a jobsite, was promised they’d be ready. The robot and its pedestal were not in place, no power drop for the robot. We tried to make progress. By the end of the day, it was revealed that part of the system is down indefinitely, waiting for a part.

@thedoctor I suggest to you that some of us are taking note of the extreme *inconsistency* of the services’ position and looking for a way to avoid them.

@papierzeit Is there a traditional calligraphy for German or is it basically the same as English?
897028
@papierzeit Yes I see a few on Amazon. I will deal with the library pick-up if they have it. Thanks!
897027
@papierzeit can you recommend a book or instructions for how to get started with calligraphy?
896984
@papierzeit would you post a photo of your calligraphy?
896956
@papierzeit It would be my preference but the library is not easy to use these days.
896953
@joe I want library books though, not to buy. And e-ink.
