Dianne's Mailing Lists ~ October 2007

In the past I have been on over 50 mailing lists at one time but now I'm down to about 25 yahoo list
and some non-yahoo list; most don't get much mail. These are my favorites:

goldbullet.gif (1213 bytes) Groups goldbullet.gif (1213 bytes) What They Are About
Bad Movies (Yahoo) "Talk about movies that are so bad they're good, great, funny, hilarious, classic."

Yep,  I love "bad movies", especially the "B" SciFi movies from the 50s and 60s. Time Travel movies have always been a favorite. I prefer SciFi movies over Fantasy, but fantasy is good too.

Castlemere (Yahoo) My SCA group Home Page. This was my main hobby for many years but I have branched out some this year due to just total burnout.
Castlemere Cookies
(Yahoo)
I'm not really crazy about the title of this group; I've never cared for cutesy nicknames. I prefer something much more straight forward and it tells you exactly want it is, so I don't have to try to guess at what things are. LOL But it is a fun group in the shire devoted to learning how to cook medieval foods. Normally I hate cooking, or rather let's say I don't care for normal everyday cooking. But I enjoy cooking for special times like big holiday meals like Thanksgiving and Christmas, and preparing for parties. I love to bake and make candies. I've helped made a Viking Long Ship out of Fudge, a Treasure Chest from Fudge, and 2 Castle wedding cakes for the SCA and I would really love to do more of those kinds of things.
Castlemere Scribes (Yahoo) Woot -- I founded this group in the shire and started the mailing list. These days it is run by a lady who knows much more about scribal arts; which is all I really wanted: someone to teach me more.
DIS VMK The is the VMK board on the DIS forums. DIS = chat forum for all things Disney.
VMK = Virtual Magic Kingdom; free live online Disney park where you can chat and interact with other Disney fans. I am in the game at least 2-3 hours a day and on DIS-VMK all the time. I am cat_herder on the DIS board; and cat.herder on VMK. I just love the folks on the DIS board. You can find the game here: http://vmk.disney.go.com/vmk/en_US/index?name=VMKHomePage
Dragon Con (Yahoo) This is chat list for folks going to the annual SciFi convention in Atlanta: Dragon Con
HospyceKindred Private list for my SCA Pelican and assorted family.
kfalconcam (Yahoo) Every Spring 2 Peregrine Falcons return to their nest on the Rochester, NY Kodak Building to raise a family. Kodak has installed several cameras in the nest and you can watch the eggs being laid, the baby falcons hatching and the parents: Kaver and Mariah, caring for the young until they all migrate for the year, the cameras are online from from March to May. This is the mailing list for the people that watch them year after year. I've been doing it every spring for the past 4-5 years. Here is the link to the cameras: http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=2017&pq-locale=en_US
SCA-Announce (Yahoo) "SCA-Announce is a moderated list for announcements of general interest to members of the Society for Creative Anachronism. It is a place for large interkingdom event announcements, SCA related wanted for sale or purchase classifieds, and any other announcements relevant to the SCA."

Again I'm nosey.

sciencefictiongroup (Yahoo) "Now in our 7th year, the #1 group for Science Fiction movies, cult Sci fi films, sf comics, novels! Anime, Manga, sci-fi tv shows, B Movies!"

Yep, more talk about my favorite kind of movies. :)

SciFiFantasyHorrorSpace_ArtShows
(Yahoo)
"This group focuses on Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Space Art Shows, art events, creation methods, and the general business of art in these genre's."

I've had art in 3-4 SciFi art shows and several arts and crafts shows. I was even an art show director once. :)

Star Gate: Offworld Fandom
(Yahoo)
"The iris is open! This is not only the first Stargate track at Dragon*con, but will also be the largest Stargate fan gathering of its kind in the US.
This group is for discussion, planning and announcements. We will cover the movie, all television shows and the entire Stargate fan universe! Join us to help make this fan con fun, memorable and exciting. Dragon*con dates for 2006 are: Sept 1-4 (Friday through Monday) Labor Day weekend in the U.S."

My friend, Marcia, is in charge of the programming panels this year 2006, and I'm going to be helping her by making some fabric banners for the room. Yeah, we are going to DragonCon this year - woot-woot.

TAGS The "Who's Been Messing Up the Bulletins Board" chapter of "The Andy Griffith Show" rerun Watchers Club".

Nuff said?

Tikievents I love tikis and the whole tropical theme. There are many social groups that meet and go for drinks at the local tiki bars. I wish there was a group here in Jacksonville, FL. There are conventions devoted to this theme, complete with art shows, entertainment and more.
Trimaris_HerbGuild
(Yahoo)
I've been planting herb gardens for about 8-9 years. I'm still in the learning to use herbs.
Trimariscookslist (Yahoo) "Discussion of medieval cooking techniques, medieval recipes, period feasts and the trials and tribulations of being a feastcrat in the Kingdom of Trimaris branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc."

I'm just nosey and besides I like food.
