bobspringett 09-Feb-25, 15:52	Welcome! Please read the Club Rules carefully. I intend to operate by them, both in requiring civility and in ensuring due process in dealing with complaints.
vocihc 10-Feb-25, 14:12	TY Rules... I was happy to note the absence of rules restricting quotations or the use of Cyrillic characters.   Although I was puzzled by the creation date of the club... gameknot.com
brigadecommander 10-Feb-25, 14:53	Attention Bob apod.nasa.gov. For all; I hear a Hum. Auroral Hummingbird over Norway;apod.nasa.gov
hogfysshe 10-Feb-25, 19:18	>>>...the creation date...<<< I remember a brief mention. see 17 Jan 24, 1:01 comment, here gameknot.com
vocihc 10-Feb-25, 19:34	thanks for the clarification Fysshe
bobspringett 10-Feb-25, 20:17	Vocihc 12:12 That was done way back when I first learned that Stahl was not immortal. I set up the club as a bolthole in case Fiat Lux died with him, without warning. I just held off paying the club fee that would have activated it. As it turned out, most Fiat Lux members went over to Red's Fresh Chess Club, so the shell club stayed that way until the need to replace THINK.
victoriasas 13-Feb-25, 06:16	We’ve lost at least three pretty longstanding clubs recently between FAC, Think and Shirley’s club.
apatzer 13-Feb-25, 06:28	Welcome to the club Andrew. I'm glad you are here.
apatzer 13-Feb-25, 06:29	Welcome to the club LS, I am glad you are here. In fact I'm glad everyone that is here is here. I'm not trying to leave anyone out.
victoriasas 13-Feb-25, 06:38	Thanks, Robert. Good to be here.
dmaestro 13-Feb-25, 11:51	This should be a worthwhile club alternative. Welcome all.
lord_shiva 13-Feb-25, 13:19	CHRIST OUR REDEEMER Whatever happened there? I am applying for membership but Shirley is ignoring the request.
victoriasas 13-Feb-25, 13:50	Are you sure that club’s still active? My understanding was it closed.
lord_shiva 13-Feb-25, 14:12	Inactive I haven’t seen any message, it still says “applying,” though I notice the last messages are now nigh on two months old.
bobspringett 13-Feb-25, 14:20	Shiva It's past its renewal date and Shirley has been very ill for a long time. I suspect we are one saint less in this world.
colinthepoet 13-Feb-25, 14:30	I had also been wondering what had happened to the Christ our Redeemer club. I've just been directed to this one by lord-shiva, earlier today.
lord_shiva 13-Feb-25, 14:36	Warmest Welcome is extended to Colin the Poet, who has most remarkably visited Skara Brae!
colinthepoet 13-Feb-25, 14:48	It's not that remarkable when you consider that I live in the same country (by which I mean UK rather than Scotland), and have a long-standing interest in ancient history and associated mysteries. I've also seen some of the mesolithic remains in SW England, and on Malta and in Brittany.
mo-oneandmore 13-Feb-25, 15:16	Shiva Yo, Ho Paul Yost! It's about time y>all got here!
mo-oneandmore 13-Feb-25, 15:22	And Shiva Thanks for possibly saving my life back in June 2019 --- I and many others really appreciated that. And thanks for that fun board game too.
mo-oneandmore 13-Feb-25, 15:26	Victorialas Your club closure question If your referring to the THINK Club, the founder decided to close it.
victoriasas 13-Feb-25, 16:34	@mo-oneandmore Why? What was the founder THINKing?
mo-oneandmore 13-Feb-25, 17:23	Alex Because it was too much work for an 80 year old man. After that: My lady friend and I have bought a house in Sun City, Arizona and we will be moving there to spend the rest of our lives as soon as we sell our housed and most of the worldly goods that we have accumulated --- It is, in deed, a 60 mile per minute activity to get it all done. Rated among the best retirement communities in America. suncityaz.org
mo-oneandmore 13-Feb-25, 17:32	Victor Your Why did I shut-down THINK Club question, Because I was tired of it and it was too much work for an 80 year old man. After that: My lady friend and I have bought a house in Sun City, Arizona and we will be moving there to spend the rest of our lives as soon as we sell our two houses and most of the worldly goods that we have accumulated --- It is, in deed, a 60 mile per minute activity to get it all done. Sun City is ranked among the best retirement communities in America; so if you've got the bucks, it's the place to go. suncityaz.org
victoriasas 13-Feb-25, 17:36	<<Sun City is ranked among the best retirement communities in America; so if you've got the bucks, it's the place to go.>> Sounds like a great place. How long can I stay with you and your lady friend? I assume you’ll have a spare room and big fridge? I like a firm mattress so if you haven’t bought one for the spare room yet, please keep that in mind.
mo-oneandmore 14-Feb-25, 08:20	Vic It's a two bedroom 2 bath The extra B & B was added specifically for visitation --- I've discussed the matter w/lord-shiva (He once hosted me in Spokane), I would be happy to host Stahl if he was still alive, Zorro, Bob and Brig would be on my list and I certainly welcome my twin brother and my sister; but I haven't yet considered y'all. Note: Selection of a specific mattress firmness will NOT be an option and your firery fire-and -brimstone brand of bible study will not be allowed unless your willing to consider MY messages about God the Father.
lord_shiva 14-Feb-25, 09:16	Mo << Thanks for possibly saving my life back in June 2019>> Aw, you would have done the same for me. I just wish I had worn better PPE when I went to visit you in the hospital. Very glad you recovered and made it back all right!
lord_shiva 14-Feb-25, 09:25	Accomodations << Note: Selection of a specific mattress firmness will NOT be an option and your firery fire-and -brimstone brand of bible study will not be allowed unless your willing to consider MY messages about God the Father.>> I’m fine just rolling a bag out on the floor. I’m used to sleeping on rocks where I like to travel, out under the stars. My wife would require a reclining chair, however. We will wait until you are settled in. But I don’t HAVE to sleep on the floor—just wherever is most convenient. On the floor you don’t have to wash sheets. I do require a pillow—but I’ve made do with a bag of clothes in a pinch.
mo-oneandmore 14-Feb-25, 09:39	Shiva Yea. When I was in anchorage for the week before I came to Spokane, I was coughing-up blood, but I was released from the hospital there with antibodies so I could participate in the games (had to drop-out of swimming to get out of the hospital) --- My pickleball partner was far sicker than me, and told me later that he was sick as a dog for 15 days after he returned to WV but that he didn't go to emergency. Covid was not yet a pandemic, but there were at-least a dozen cruse ships that went in out while I was there and some of the ships were quite likely from Wuhan, China (See Wuhan flu from trump). trump was screaming "just like the flu" at the time and even disallowed entry of a cruise ship into America a couple months later because there were 30 or Americans aboard with Covid. When I returned to WV, I asked my Dr's if my partner and I might have been the first Americans to carry covid into the lower 48, but they all said "no possible way in hell to tell".
lord_shiva 14-Feb-25, 09:54	Covid The common symptoms were loss of taste and smell in the early variant, which was an ass kicker. My son-in-law was knocked for a loop, and all the rest of the family caught it (except my wife), but fortunately all pulled through absent long term disabilitating effects. I never did get it but my wife tested positive for a mild case, after multiple vaccinations. She was over it quick with no lasting effect, but I lost several friends, and had a very close call with one who ended up in an IC ventilator for several weeks. The Wuhan was reported after you left, so I suspect you didn’t have it. But your doctors are right, impossible to tell now. Even if I have antibodies it would be next to impossible to tell if I had gotten it from you or became an asymptomatic carrier from my wife’s infection. I have never tested positive, though every time I’ve fallen ill I tested.
