Random Raves XLVII: Who wants cookies?

Oh @Snerky ... !

Oh my! Wait let me get my horse riding gear on. I have an assortment of whips available too. Buckle up cowgurrrl!

 

[Valka D'Ur]

That is not a rave! That is not a rave!

Who are you ranting about?

 

[dusters]

First snow yesterday.

Feels like time to celebrate Samhain soon. Also have to stock more candles soon.

I was bribedasked to submit a review for a jigsaw puzzle I bought from Mary Maxim (craft company), in return for a 5% discount on my next order.

Apparently my review was acceptable, and now I have a discount code that's not worth a lot, but at least will cover the GST. Now if I can manage to use it during a flat-rate shipping sale while taking advantage of the standard "buy 3, get 1 free" deal for puzzles, that might be worth it.

The most incredible thing happened: A woman wrote to me on a dating site ! I have now used online dating on 4 separate occassions for roughly one year time, and I have used 5 different platforms, some multiple times, and I paid twice. In that time I have had... 4 conversations online, I think, and one rather boring date.
So...I don't know what happened there .
We already texted a bit, the profile does not seem to be fake, and she does not seem to be ugly/fat/stupid.
Am I in the matrix? Is this the end of days? I am confused!

Civfanatics is slowly transitioning to a BDSM forum.

Where did this happen?

Where did this happen?

Let's adjourn to the CFC dungeon and I'll tell you all about it.

 

[JohannaK]

Only if it's a kinky dungeon.

 

[tjs282]

Only if it's a kinky dungeon.

@Snerk will be in it. How much more kink could you possibly want?

 

[AdamCrock]

Where did this happen?

It happened so fast ! I just logged in and the next thing I remember I am living in a closet

 

[EgonSpengler]

Only if it's a kinky dungeon.

I've never seen any other kind.






In other news, walking through the park on the way to work this morning, listening to Yo-Yo Ma play Bach. I wished I'd left the house earlier, so I could have taken a longer stroll.

The bike shop told me it would take all week to fix my bike but they had a bunch of cancellations and called me last night to tell me it was done. I'm going to pick it up as soon as they open this morning! So happy.

Samhain

Sounds a bit like a Norsified version of All Saint's. In fact I know that was actually another way around. Catholics converted Samhain to their version. In Polish tradition for example (before Catholicism was a thing across Europe) Calling of spirits, various appeasement or other rituals and all kind of spooky goings were the norm. Care to tell a bit more about Baltic pre-catholic traditions You have had once ?

 

[EgonSpengler]

I thought Samhain was celtic.

 

[dusters]

Samhain is celtic indeed.

As for Baltics - they had pagan rites in each of equinoxes(sp?) , but I know little about them since I'm from Japan. I celebrate Samhain due to a friend who introduced me to Wicca.

Rave: On AO3, I got a kudos on one of my old fics. I didn't know people still readed them.

 

[The_J]

I'm currently on job search, and recently applied to quite some high profile institutions.
Today my boss told me that one of them asked for a recommendation letter. Yeeeaaahh
