I love coming into the lounge and just looking through post in all categories. What a wonderful place to hang out these days. Its a nice break from my knitting:))))

Wow! Thanks for freaking me out. Iāve spent the past half hour thinking that today was the 25th and trying to figure out why no one bothered to mention that I missed the bulk of my weekly meetings. I finally caught on that this is forā¦wait for itā¦tomorrow.
Time and space have no meaning these days.

Seriously, I am truly intrigued by this post. Are we going to war over straights vs. circulars; are you Team Bee Gees or Team Carpenters; or was Cercei Lannister truly evil or just misunderstood? Will we finally get to the root of the Oxford Comma? Yes or no? Why or why not? Please show your work. (For the record, this is a hill Iām willing to die on.) Will there be a sub thread on how many spaces go after a period (in 50 words or less)? Should that last question mark be inside or outside of the parentheses? Handsome dumb guy vs. ugly smart guy? Should socks with sandals be called scandals? Would criminal background checks on cardigan designers solve the eternal question of how many stitches to pick up for a button band? If Ann and Kay were Charlieās Angels which ones would they be and who would be the third? And who would be Bosley?
Iām going need half a valium and a shot of Gentleman Jack in my grandmaās tea cup to get to sleep tonight!

Oh I hope itās not this deepš So many questions, so little time!
Maybe weāre anticipating the comments section on tomorrowās post will be blocked again! (I think the bird in the warehouse sabotaged that post;)
Maybe itās the long awaited announcement of the groundbreaking for the premier knitterās destination hotel & spa in Nashville, Tennš¤ A girl can dream!!

My question is: Am I the only one totally mystified by The Lounge? I donāt even know how to post except via āreplyā. Duh.

My comment on bird stories seemed to disappear, so here they are:
Story 1: Outside my motherās window a vine grows on which there are several nests. One year the birds hatched a few days before the next nest over. When it was time to fledge, the older ones were given flying lessons. All went well, except for one who was very reluctant to step off the nest. He did a little grapevine two-step down the vine, and with a little rump wiggle nestled in with the younger birds in the nest next door.
Story 2: On a sailing trip to some of the remote San Juan Islands, I scanned the trees on one of the uninhabited islands and saw a long & wide & pink ribbon draped on the very top of the a pine tree. Wondering how the wind could have carried such a ribbon to a treetop, I looked closer and saw an eagle poised atop the ribbon. To my amazement it was a salmon ā a beautiful pink salmon who took an unexpected trip to the top.
Thank you, Ann and Kay, for giving me such a sweet welcome each morning!

commenting, for the data point that my comment didnāt work in the comments. But since I was just adding the name āEthelā to a list of unlikely names for pre-schoolers, the lack of context would otherwise leave me at ānevermind.ā
Hereās to comments!

Those colors are just so lovely. Stay cool and calm in Nashville, Ann. I am so happy to have found knitting and MDK and to have joined the collective soul of this (mostly) womenās work. It is great.

I stop by only occasionally, but will try to develop this habit as a break from work.

Do we get a new comment lounge every day? Still not working this morning - I do miss the conversation, as do you, Iām sure.
Phew. I was pretty relieved to find out that it was simply Ann, Kay, and the crew finding a way to keep us all happy and connected. I believe I may have been overthinking. In my defense, I was in the middle of proof reading a 14 page grant to the EPA with a lot of acronyms. Anyone would start overthinking!

@Susa and @ginny Using the lounge is not as hard as it seems to be. There are actually two reply functions. There is āreply to the whole topicā and then there is āreply to a reply on the whole topic.ā
To do the first one āreply to the whole topicā you scroll down until you see an orange reply box in the lower left hand corner of your screen. Click that and type what you want to say in the box and then hit reply again. Thatās what I did for this reply.
Now say you want to reply specifically to this, you have a second reply option. Once this reply is in the thread you will see a reply button that is grey type with no box around it at the bottom right hand side of my reply. Click that, type your reply to my reply and hit reply. I could then reply to your reply. So you could hit the reply to this and say āHey Karen, you should be president.ā But donāt do that because then I would have to write a really long winded reply about how Iāve had way too much fun in my life to ever run for president. There are are witnesses and pictures. OR you could do a totally new reply and say āHey everyone. Should we be checking on Karenās mental health. She seems a bit wacky.ā by scrolling down to the orange button on the bottom left.
So thatās how to post. Either reply to the whole topic (remember āOrange you glad this topic is hereā=orange reply button or reply to a reply (remember what a grey-te reply to this topic).
Hope this helps. Thereās more you can do here but get the replies straight first and then weāll work on the rest of it.
Happy knitting (and replying)!

Thanks so much! Such an easy thing once itās explained, but somehow not obvious to me without help. I think itās the confusion of using two buttons both marked āreplyā for two different things. It would be helpful if the orange button said āPostā or something. Anyway: thanks very much!
