Yess, I was afraid I had missed TT during the summer since I've had such a dip in reading but yay, maybe this will make it come back. I looove TT!

Ah TT isn't on its way - we need a little longer to plan and plot and let the chipmunks loose.

We have something else up our sleeves - patience for a bit and we will reveal all

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 12853 comments september works for me. Couple of weeks to clean the house and annoy family to the point they can't wait for me to bury myself in books again (not saying it's a cunning plan, but... ;) ).


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments Plethora is right but she needs to take some of the blame because she’s always showing me and she’s very bad when she’s waving it like chocolate in front of me. Plus she doesn’t do too bad herself at being an addict. I think we kind of feed each other. Hahahaha 😉

And if i recall you've led me to ones as well.

I do have to admit to that. I think we feed each others addiction. LOL

Here's a fun fact about the upcoming challenge.

There will be 3 rounds which are four weeks each. Starting 19 September 2020, and finishing 12 December 2020


message 568: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8050 comments A three course meal. Hmmm...


message 569: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4247 comments As long as one of those courses is dessert...


message 570: by Christina (new)

Christina (chrissy__) | 3007 comments 3 x 4 weeks? Sounds intense; I'm in!

But wait, I assume this means there'll be no TT this year? Either way, I'M READY

Judith (brownie72011) | 7434 comments Mod
Don’t worry Lexi, there’s dessert. And booze (whiskey, perhaps) for Jenny.


message 572: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8050 comments Have I mentioned recently that you are a goddess?


message 573: by bamaace83 (last edited Aug 23, 2020 06:55PM) (new)

bamaace83  | 965 comments I popped in and took note when dessert was mentioned. Now that it's beverages with food, my curiosity is intrigued even more. I'm totally in. Maybe we get to enjoy food and TT at the same time. A handful of us have made it through the summer with Wheels, Turfs, and Olympics. We can do this! Just need more drinks and snacks....

Cleaning the house is so over-rated!

It has been a funny old year. So no TT for 2020, we are testing out some other ideas instead ;)

But TT is definitely in the mix for 2021. Cat is cooking up a storm of TT ideas!


message 575: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8050 comments Well, it is official. 2020 is one of the worst years ever.

Oh well.

And now I am scared!

On the bright side, you have a new cook! Yey! That is good... with the no scaring the newbies and all mood....RIGHT?!


message 577: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 12853 comments Oh lord... I'm supposed to be spending the next few months getting my house decorated and fixed up to sell. I'll have to invest in some extra loud headphones so I'll be able to hear stuff still over the power tools! lol.

And all this talk of food is making me hungry! Good thing the gym has opened up again :D :D


message 578: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments @Sammy: me too.

We want to get rid of my apartment and use the "profit" to make our own like a place we enjoy getting back to at the end of the day.

I might need some wireless headphones.

I know there's some in the market that basically cancel all outside noise. But, maybe some warning of impending doom (aka a hammer coming our way) would be nice.

I use wireless noise-cancelling headphones from Samsung...really good! :)

Yes, the Wheel has turned, and won't be back this year. The full details next team challenge will be revealed soon - there'll be a link to it posted here and it will be in the monthly newsletter too.


message 583: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Wait...we're going to have to wait a WHOLE DARN WEEK to know more?!

How can you do this to me I mean US!

If not for Emerald Blaze coming out tomorrow, I would be wailing in dispair!

(I might channel my inner Banshee anyway!!!)


message 584: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10094 comments Mod
a WHOLE DARN WEEK is the longest you'll have to wait! We might take pity on you and reveal sooner.

then again, we might not! ;-P

message 590: by Kaley (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1976 comments Eeeek I am excited already!


message 591: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Me too...

I'd be more excited if I knew more.... but apparently, I'm the only one bothered by the lack of info... so I'll wait.

I can sit quiet and patiently wait for stuff... Honestly, I can.


message 592: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 8050 comments Now that's funny.


message 593: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments What? Me being the only one curious? I thought as much


message 594: by Kaley (last edited Aug 24, 2020 06:14AM) (new)

Kaley (kaleyamo) | 1976 comments Haha that's fair!!

I'm also very curious to know more, but I think my excitement is just outweighing my curiosity in this instance. because I am woefully behind in my yearly reading goal and the Wheel helped me make significant strides toward it. I'm glad there will be another group challenge soon so I can hopefully catch up before year's end! (I lack the motivation to do it myself apparently, but when I'm on a team I am motivated by not letting the team down, ha!)


message 595: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 12853 comments I do have noise-canceling headphones, but unfortunately noise-canceling technology isn't as advanced as I'd like it to be, lol!

And Sonia, did you really just use the word "patient" in regards to yourself? *cue much laughter*

Hello Kettle, my name is Pot... :D

I'll take your word for that...

Now about this week's wait business... Which mods do we need to bribe torture flutter our eyelashes at to get that time-table moved up a little..?

Hmm, while I'd normally help some of my favorite Lusties, I'm not going to risk being put in mod time out this early on in my position. Sorry Lovelies.

Try Karen, though I think at this point she's resistant to your charms. ;)
