Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I'm going to be working on my other projects for a while, but I might be back at scattered intervals over the afternoon, but I'm usually on more in the mornings. With my coffee.

8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Pun very much intended. But, if you'll pardon me a few, I've got pups that need their walkies. Hope to chat more later, if you don't have anything more constructive to do.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK We actually lived in down in southern Texas for a while, (where I've seen coyotes and roadrunners), and I have never seen a tumbleweed, though I have read about them.

8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Aaah, she's had her coffee! 👍

8 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Pun intended? Crest is a brand of toothpaste, and if you drop it...

8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Professional daily familiarity would certainly be a factor. One of my all-time favorite bits of standard Jungle Cruise skipper routine is "Look at that, folks! You don't see that every day! But I do... Every day... Every twenty minutes..."

8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse And had I known how awesome hitting tumbleweeds while driving could be (I'd been avoiding them until a situation forced me to take one on the grille), I'd've had so much more fun driving across Texas.

8 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK I always thought that about quicksand too, I guess it was a good plot device... And the fact that anvils aren't something you see everyday is kind of sad, unless you're a horse farrier or a swordsmaker that is, then you might see them more often.

8 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Having seen both coyotes and roadrunners in person, I think it more likely that the roadrunner would fly away, and the coyote would be hunting something else. 🤔

8 hours ago

Warhorse: @Nainika Wow, it is mid-August already, the summer really slipped by...

8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse And for the most part, I'm doing well, despite having dropped the toothpaste this morning (a trivial matter to some, but personally I was crestfallen).

8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Or that the Great Cornholio (if you have no idea who that is, you're probably better off) had me completely fooled for an embarrassingly long time--Lake Titicaca is NOT, in fact, in Nicaragua (it's between Bolivia and Peru). But, we live, and if we're sensible, we learn. 👍

8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse And there are times I needed to acknowledge that my beloved cartoons of yesteryear weren't always as educational as I thought. My world was forever rocked the day I learned coyotes are generally faster than roadrunners.

8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Tough call. I do know that old school cartoons certainly conditioned me to expect to encounter anvils in the wild with much greater frequency, and that quicksand was a much greater existential threat to mankind than it probably actually remains. 🤔

Nainika: I just realized 2026 is gonna end in 4 months

8 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Wow, I replied to myself in that last one! 😂 I'm doing swell today, how are you?

8 hours ago

Warhorse: @Warhorse I'm not sure either, but I always thought it would be cool to be able to fly by using two trash can lids, or communicate under water. But, which do you think is the more believeable: oldtime cartoons, or modern cartoons?

8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Then again, everybody's always asking Scooby Doo, Where Are You? Not too many ever bother to ask Scooby Doo, HOW Are You? So Warhorse, how are you?

8 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Or maybe that kind of brilliance is just commonplace in their world. I'm not sure which would be worse.

9 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Huh, that's an interesting way to put it, 🤔 but what I always liked was that it was so unrealistic, a nice escape from modern inconvenieces. I guess its harder to find honest jobs in the land of cartoons 🤷‍♀️

9 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse With the kind of disguises, technology and architecture they could pull off, in our timeline, they'd easily be employed, and maybe even famous. Yet in their world, they can't make an honest living.

9 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse The economy must've been in total collapse. The "villains" were, almost without exception, geniuses. Yet they were squatting in derelict building and other awful locations just in the hopes of maybe landing a payday.

9 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I remember reading an article once that changed how I look at the original series: if we stop to think about it, it must be a pretty horrifying situation the world would've been in.

9 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK My siblings and I have grown up watching that show, its the best. 💯

9 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse You're a fan of the original run of Scooby Doo, Where Are You?

9 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Yeah, I've gone through that with knitting, after four straight hours I chucked it in the closet and not touched it for weeks. Deadlines have always been a problem for me, so my plan is to ignore it and just do whatever I can, but who knows, I might be in for a long break afterwards.

9 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse (Probably nothing you don't already know, but a rando repeating it can't hurt.)

9 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Sounds good, but try not to stress too much about a deadline--that's a terrific way for things to stop being enjoyable, and craft burnout is a real thing.

9 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Well I've never done a keychain before, so I'm gonna figure that out in doing it. I have a small list of patterns written down, and my goal is to finish them all before September, after the keychain I'll be working on a bracelet.

9 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse You already have the next figured out?

9 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK It was definitely bigger than I had expected, I thought it was small, that's why I picked it. I'm starting on a keychain today, much, much smaller-- I think. With some luck it'll be easier after the wallhanging.

9 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse It will be. If you've completed an alpha that size, you've gone from rookie to veteran in a single project.

9 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Thanks, I certainly hope the next one is better, but I'm still happy this one because its my first wallhanging.

9 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Looking forward to seeing it (biases aside, I already know I'm going to love it). And your next is gonna be even better. 👍

9 hours ago

Warhorse: @EveryTime Good morning!

9 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Happy Saturday to you as well. I just finished my alpha, and the photo is under review. I must admit, it looks... crooked, not very smooth, but ok

10 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Great timing; just sat down and trying to get cozy. Happy Saturday to you.

10 hours ago

EveryTime: Morning!

10 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK 19 hours later: Hello and good morning!

1 day, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Roger that. Do it well. 👍

1 day, 5 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Well, I never had a particular love for Disney, I like a select few movies and shows that they did. I could list them real quick, but I just got called for Kitchen Duty. I'll probably be back sometime in a few hours though.

1 day, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse You're a longtime Disney fan, or at least the Disney of yesteryear? I only wish I could enjoy the schadenfreude at the struggles of the company these days, but since working at WDW for me will always be the road not taken, it feels like watching my favorite team on a loooooooooooong losing streak...

1 day, 5 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Noted, though I have enjoyed our conversation thus far.

1 day, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse There *is* a limit, but can't definitely say how much, nor for how long they'll put Baby in a corner.

1 day, 5 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Oh, is there a limit to how many comments you can make in a day or something?

1 day, 5 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Borderline nosy, but not too much. 😜 No, not so far.

1 day, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse And in the event I suddenly go radio silent, it's not you. Haven't been this chatty in a long time, and experience has taught me that pretty soon, I'll be cut off from the chat for the day (how dare they treat a Bracelet King like that is beyond me).

1 day, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Presuming it's not too annoying to think about her. Believe me, I know what it's like living in the shadow of rock star siblings...

1 day, 5 hours ago

Warhorse: Most of my siblings are girls, so I automatically say sister, but she's the oldest.

1 day, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Has she made your parents grandparents (if I'm not being too nosey)?

1 day, 5 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Yeah, our mom always wanted to homeschool her kids after her experiences in school, and dad wouldn't have it any other way either. Our oldest sister is 31.

1 day, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Sounds like your mom and dad cottoned on real fast. How old is the oldest of your siblings?

1 day, 5 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Our oldest sister was partly homeschooled before she moved, and then went to highschool and college, the rest of us were all brought up the same though.

1 day, 5 hours ago

Brooke_10: @GiuseppeK hi

1 day, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse All of you brought up the same way, or did your folks only come to their senses about education somewhere after the first few of you?

1 day, 5 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Well, I'm the youngest of six kids, and being sixteen, close to graduation I'm mostly unschooled these days, but we do regular lessons quite often still. I am very grateful to my parents for the way I was brought up, what with thw conditions of public education these days.

1 day, 5 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse (Don't get me wrong: from the sounds of things these last few years, I'm VERY glad you're being schooled as such.)

1 day, 6 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I'm a victim of public education myself, so how your situation works is entirely a mystery to me.

1 day, 6 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Well, that one seem like it's some darn good OJT. Are you on lunch break from class, or do you get summer vacation?

1 day, 6 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Yep, this is my third alpha. I've never been very good at starting small... 😬

1 day, 6 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Are you still a bit new when it comes to alphas? If so, that one was ambitious. 👍

1 day, 6 hours ago

Warhorse: And yes, it is definitely better than being one string short

1 day, 6 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Not just an extra edge, but somehow I miscounted the knots on the opposite side and the horse's head is shaped funny.

1 day, 6 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Better than not having enough. An extra bit of edge, then?

1 day, 6 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Specifically this wallhanging: #210712 I'm so close to finishing it, but I messed it up by adding an extra base string when I started.

1 day, 6 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse What are you working on specifically?

1 day, 7 hours ago

Warhorse: I wish this alpha I'm doing would just end already! 😢

1 day, 8 hours ago

MidnightTH: @Nainika Glad I could help!😏

1 day, 9 hours ago

Nainika: @MidnightTH I feel a bit better now , thanks!

1 day, 9 hours ago

MidnightTH: @Nainika Oh no!! That’s so sad!😔 Hope you feel better soon!❤️‍🩹☺️

1 day, 9 hours ago

MidnightTH: @Warhorse Aww thanx!🥹❤️

1 day, 11 hours ago

Nainika: @MidnightTH nothing just got a high fever

1 day, 11 hours ago

Warhorse: @MidnightTH Personally I'm not a big Sonic the Hedgehog fan, but I think your OC is really cool. 💙

1 day, 11 hours ago

MidnightTH: @Warhorse added!😊💙

1 day, 11 hours ago

MidnightTH: @sophen Ha ha lol. I’ve done that before!

1 day, 11 hours ago

sophen: @MidnightTH not a lot, just woke up like an hour ago and decided to play Minecraft right away since i'm the only one up, lol

1 day, 11 hours ago

Warhorse: @MidnightTH 💙 Gotta go fast! 🦔

1 day, 12 hours ago

MidnightTH: @sophen Hey what's up in your world?

1 day, 12 hours ago

MidnightTH: @Nainika Hello! How have you been?

1 day, 12 hours ago

Warhorse: @kayladrubi Good morning!

1 day, 12 hours ago

kayladrubi: Heyyyyyyy 😄

1 day, 12 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Yeah, its been a lot of fun talking. Hope to chat again later, have a good day and stay cool!

1 day, 13 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Well that doesn't sound very fun for his fans, personally I'm not too keen on Disney these recent years. And that's really cool, I love hearing about the origins of games like that, how much they meant to the people who invented and played them, and that kind of thing. We found our set at a yard sale like ten years ago, we don't have the box, but we have the board and all the pieces and that's what's important.

1 day, 13 hours ago

sophen: @Nainika hi!!👋🏼👋🏼

1 day, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse Thanks for chatting. But I’ve got a job to do now. Where I’m going, you can’t follow. What I’ve got to do, you can’t be any part of. Warhorse, I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you’ll understand that. 😎

1 day, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse On my first deployment to Iraq, I was making Stratego sets by using empty bullet casings for pieces. The game was HUGE with locals (I think they think I invented it), and few things warmed my heart that trip like seeing it replacing chess and backgammon at the café.

1 day, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I wouldn't've expected you to have seen him before. He's had three completely unrelated R-rated movies over the years, and he's had a Disney+ show (ah, yes--my favorite Disney character...) that fans of his don't sound keen on.

1 day, 13 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Hey, I looked at some of your patterns, I know Stratego pieces when I see them! I love that game! So much in fact, that no one plays with me anymore. 😂

1 day, 13 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK If the Sandman was in it that means it was the worst one of the three: the third one. I've never seen anything with the Punisher, but I have heard about him from a certain Marvel fanatic I know.

1 day, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I admit, I have the teensiest bit of interest since I hear the Punisher makes an appearance. He's the only Marvel character I've ever cared about, and I hear they actually got him right this time.

1 day, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I think I saw one, though no idea which (I remember "Sandman" was a villain). I was babysitting, and not emotionally involved.

1 day, 13 hours ago

Warhorse: My sister and her boyfriend just watched that movie the other day and loved it-- I don't know why. I have never seen any Spiderman except the Tobey Maguire trilogy, and as far as I'm concerned they're the only Spiderman movies.

1 day, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse She has taste.

1 day, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: The movie theater JUST opened in our little town a couple weeks ago. I can at least look forward to checking the place out.

1 day, 13 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK No, I think she's more of a 30's-40's gal, she likes a lot of old black&white mystery movies, my siblings and I have grown up watching them and we all just love them.

1 day, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: I think I can relate, though. In about another hour or so, I promised someone I'd take them to see the new Spiderman movie. Trying my best to appear enthusiastic.

1 day, 13 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Wow, you're good. I am halfway

1 day, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse She's more of a '90s gal?

1 day, 13 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Well, I'm not even sure that she liked the first one all that well, she doesn't think much of most popular 80's movies.

1 day, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse If my calculations are correct, you're about halfway through your first cup of coffee?
