Greetings All
Just found this newsgroup a few days ago(a little blurry eyed from trying to
read all the posts) , but I love it. I think you guys are great, oh I'm a
redhead too btw.
I have been working RPRS for about 6 yrs first in the Brass Rubbing Booth now
in St Ives.
It is so nice to find faire folk to help pass the waiting time, it helps.
Blessed Be

Hi Mike, I was there mornings with Monica & Kim, I helped you build the booth
2 yrs ago with Jim Green. I spent too much time at the booth didn't get to FoF

Leave that to me... *lol* You'll need to meet up with me before Faire
starts at some point, be it during the week, Friday night, or early
Saturday morning... I can bring in whatever personal liquids I want as
a participant, and just keep it behind the counter, as it were. So
sweet of you to make a gift of that much mead to me... *looking around

Hi, I'm Susan..or Autumn...depending on where ya see me.
I've been working RPFN for about 8 years, and have been with St Cuthberts for
the last 7 (oh my gosh...time flies..)! I dont have a great deal of knowledge
to share with anyone....but I am very happy to have found AFR, and just when I
thought I was going to go into Faire withdrawls too! :) ::::::SIGH::::::
Not certain if it matters, but it seems to go along with "thread" (am I using
that correctly?)- I too am a redhead...although I recently tried to dye it
brown, to avoid "our" reputation .<other redheads know what I mean>. A word
of advice, DONT even try it. It doesn't work. The attitude gives us away every
time. Oh well.:::shrug:::
OH, and Kalani!! If your smugglin' mead into the guild yard..there will be
a small...err...toll. Yeah that's it...a toll...no, no..a fee? Yeah! A fee
to keep those of us who know quiet about it, or atleast otterly tippsy!

Great! Now, I've been thinkin' and I believe that I will be happier
staying close to the Faire site, as opposed to losing valuable party and
play time with y'all to travel back and forth to Long Beach (besides my
sister doesn't do Faire).
Soooo, I need to find a decent, fairly cheap motel or something, near
RPFS' site. I'll camp if I have to, I don't mind, but getting into a
leine in a pup tent is a pretty daunting task <g>. Anyway, what's close
to RPFS? Email me a list, please?
Thanks dear. It'll also give us a place to stash the mead, til we drink
it all.........

Welcome to the group, Autumn, we're glad to have you! Vicky will be
materializing the guest cup at any moment, I'm sure. As for a faire fix, well
just a few hours south of Novato is SLO faire, before RPFN, so maybe I'll see
you in July...

Nope. "Still Life with Woodpecker" by Tom Robbins. "Jitterbug Perfume" was

The Brewing Goddess, momentarily distracted by her mundane job, waves
her hand and magically produces the required pewter cup of mead for
Autumn.

You are, of course, correct. I didn't like beets until I read Jitterbug Perfume.
I'm going to have to start praying to the goddess of lace!

It was my attitude that caused me TO dye my hair red! (snicker)...All my life,

ditzy...boy were THEY ever disappointed!! So now the hair matches the 'tude and

Well, M'Dear, strictly speaking Peg was only briefly blonde...Most of my years
doing faire (when I was a blonde) were as...even MORE bizzarly...a Gypsy.
Tschaya Tatyana Maximovna Simionova, to be exact. A slavic Gypsy (only way I
could explain all that blonde hair and brown eyes). So no...NOT Peg...Tschaya
was blonde. And Lynn...well that's a WHOLE other kettle of fish!

Try the Hilltop Hotel (used to be a Ramada), many rennies get rooms
there for the three-day weekend, when sometimes a hot (and clean)
shower and soft bed are worth more than gold...
It's just 2 exits down the 215, about 10 minutes away from site, in
San Berndardino. 2000 ostrems way, (909) 887-3001. Rooms are $59 for
a single, $69 for double occupancy.
There is also a Motel 6 across the way from it, also on Ostrems Way,
(909) 887-8191. I dunno the rates.

Without prying into the problem (I don't need to know) I hope everything's OK, Peg. I
count my #1 most important (and best) job as being a Daddy to my 3 Y.O. little girl. I
never understood what the phrase "Love you more than life itself" meant (not really)

Yup. With me it's when I whip out my scientific calculator and tell *them* what
the payments will be, when I pay *this* price. then I just wait them out. One
played the 'let me talk with the manager' game for two hours, and when he didn't
meet my price, I got up and started walking out. He *ran* to stop me! Then I took
the car home for a 'puppy dog close' (here, why don't you take it home, eat some
lunch and think about it). I took it to the next dealership up the road, and got
a better
deal in 15 minutes. HA! I win! *That* and *that* and *that* to car dealerships!

Ack, I'm sorry I missed this thread!
I know what you mean. I'm not *exactly* blond but if anyone ever asked me to
describe myself I always said I had dirty blond hair.
"Ever hear the one..." Yes, ha ha.
This is also the reason I never ever tell anyone I'm half Swedish. Immediately,
the image of a beautiful, buxom blond comes to mind, who isn't all there. I've
actually had people say "Forgive the Swede, she's a little slow." for no reason
other then I'd left the room for five minutes and lost the conversation.
Luckily, it never happens in person. I'm a mongrel, my hair is every color
possible so the dye choices are endless, whoo hoo!

Folks glaze over in response to math, whatever the gender. Example: my
brother was certainly a stand-out as a physics major at our liberal arts
college. He liked our friends, but he could sometimes feel a little lonely
when he wanted some good conversation in the subjects he loved. One sure fire
way to clear the cafeteria table after dinner was for me to start quizzing him
about vectors or debating the true meaning of Schroedinger's Cat. Kids are
really dazzled by the beauty of a well-executed graphic effect or by the
possibility that they could become astronauts when they grow up, but math is
not taught in school as a means to that enjoyable end. So, few understand it.
I'll admit that I'm only on the fringes of science, myself.
By coincidence, a friend just sent me a bunch of subject appropriate quotes:

I'm lucky. My wife is not only beautiful, but also smart--and with a lot more
common sense than I have. Taking pride in a lack of brains, or pretending
to lack them, is something I have never found to be an endearing trait. I
try to avoid such folks.

Don't ask ME, I was talking about my friend, LOL, well, ok, so we were
dating at the time. See I didn't walk away. I just liked laughing at the guy
who insisted on hitting on her. I loved it. I didn't have to buy a drink, the
whole time we were together. I just drank the one's guys sent her.
Which begs the question; If she and I walked in together, why were they
sending her drinks in the first place? Hmmm.... Lounge Lizzards are not too
bright? Maybe that's the answer. Being stupid men, intelligent women threaten
them.

b) I'm sure your husband knows you are beautiful
c) external beauty is shaped by what's inside; that's why so many times you
can see someone you think is beautiful, and later on say "What did I ever see

Well, the men whose eyes didn't glaze over at the mention of

up marrying a man who had one in his bedroom. ;-)

Frankly, I make my entire living because people can't do simple acid/base
titrations, even though they learned them in middle school or highschool. If
they could, their pools would never turn green,and I'd be out of a job. This
lack of math and science skills was encouraging to me, not discouraging.

Cuz the male "Bozos in bars" know that such a match-up won't work, and
that they'll end up feeling stupid in the bargain. Unless they're
taking lots of math, too.

That's because girls don't have a penis to keep their brains in. (-:

Looks are more _variable_ with age. In HS, I knew a pair of girls.
One was the smart one, the other was the pretty one. Ran into the
smart one a few years later - almost didn't recognize her, she was
_so_much better looking. If she wasn't attached then, I'd have asked
her out on the spot. Given a choice, I'll take looks _and_ brains.

Gosh, and here I was so naive as to think that people hired out any sort of
pool maintenance because they didn't want to do something that resembled
work...... not that they couldn't handle the science behind it..... ::shaking

like the calculator helped the current generation? Mediocrity prevails
in every generation, some of us choose to attempt to rise above it.

I have a friend, who was told in marrriage conseling(sp?),
"This won't work. Just get divorced. I don't usually tell folks to give up,
but you two should. Frankly, if you ever consider getting married again,
don't, unless he is as smart as you are."
Luckily, she found somone as smart as she is. Stop lookin at ME! I was just
the best man, LOL. It's my lot in life. Always the Best Man, never the Groom.
