Smiley Smiley Smiley Thanks to a massive USPS screw up, the tube won't arrive until Saturday -- IF we're lucky! It will most likely show up on Monday when we aren't here since the mail comes early now. Although, having screwed up so massively, the Post Office SHOULD deliver it on Sunday but probably won't.

In other news, ectoplasm in its various forms does not come under any of the current EPA classifications for hazardous or toxic wastes.

We were lucky. The Postal Service got my package into Indianapolis last night and it was delivered today. I won't have to worry about it being delivered when we aren't home.

I sewed a reflective stripe on Moonie's uniform during my "prone period". I would have finished it sooner but WP decided to park herself on me and take a nap......  Smiley

I can't find the Ghostbusters pin I got when we saw the movie last year so I checked, found some on eBay and bought one. The selling is in Indianapolis so I should get it quickly without worrying about weather delays.

My right hand hurts and my right index finger might have a blister tomorrow -- although I hope it goes straight to "callous" -- but I got a lot of work done on Moonie's uniform tonight so it is worth it. Skywise says that the uniform looks more "professional" and not like a "costume" which is the whole idea. Whatever else, the founding members of SCI GB will be "professional" looking. Hopefully, when others join us, they'll want to look "professional" too.

I worked on Moonie's uniform today while waiting for the UPS man and finished putting the reflective stripes on the legs of her uniform. My fingers are sore -- especially my right index -- but no sign of the intense pain I had when I did my uniform and.. no blisters. I'll put the "no ghost" patch on last. THAT is the one most likely to put me back into the thumb stabilizer.

I added another section to the handbook concerning the EPA. I'm considering adding a few entries from Call of Cthulhu....  Smiley Smiley

I've been researching the Lovecraftian mythos and there really isn't anything there that fits in with the Ghostbusters. Lovecraftian critters tend to be too "sanity shattering" for use in anything other than Call of Cthulhu. I've got a GB facebook group open in another tab and I'm just chilling a bit there before I have to get up and be useful.

I've had an idea for a new gadget -- still puzzling out the particulars but at first brush it looks doable.

I'm also trying to put together an entry for the handbook on the Containment unit that sounds reasonably plausible and scientific in case some kid asks how it works.

I posted some of my GB fanfiction in the Stories and Poetry section. Things tend to get lost on facebook -- which is why I like forums better -- and what's the point of writing it if it can't be shared? I "could" just keep it in my head, after all.

I worked on Moonie's uniform before dinner and now that it's over, I'm going to go put a few more stitches in.

I worked on Moonie's uniform this afternoon and bought some green dishwashing liquid and a jar with a locking lid. The dish soap will pass for "ectoplasmic slime" and the jar is to store it. I have another smaller jar that I'll store another color of slime in. If I can find a larger jar I'll use it for the "mood/pink" slime and save the other jar for another "specimen."

Having decided on a meeting place that meets our requirements, I've checked "find a meeting place" off my "SCIGB To Do" list and I'm moving on to other items on the list. There's still a lot to do but with a place to meet decided on, a big if not the biggest hurdle is out of the way.

Going over the previously mentioned "To Do" list, separating it into a "before start up" list and an "after start up" list.... Smiley

I've added a couple of entries into the handbook in the Paranormal Entities of Note section.
I FINALLY got the posters I've been expecting from China. They were taped together (we got them apart) but one was obviously printed from a "bad" scan. I'm not going to send it back but I'm not going to display it either. I've ordered another one that hopefully was scanned correctly.

"Mass Hysteria: Part 2" arrived today and I'm going to have to rewrite some of the entries in the handbook. No biggie since I'm the only one who's seen it. I was writing up another "cult" that "probably" exists in the GB universe (one of them anyway) and some nasties to go with them last night. It's good exercise for my writing muscles.

I've been working but my legs are hurting like hell, Aleve taken two hours ago notwithstanding. I'm going to go get prone for a while.

The sleeve stripes on Moonie's uniform are done. I've been working on the chest stripes and my fingers hurt. For some unknown reason, the uniforms have gussets in the back and a gusseted pocket in the front. The stripes were put on the various pieces before assembly which is making it damned hard to put the new stripes on. What makes it even more of a pain is that the manufacturer made their own stripes and they aren't a uniform width. On Moonie's suit they are wider than the ribbon I'm using to replace them and I'm having to take them off and since I can't open the seams that the ends are sewn into (because of the lining) I'm having to cut them at the seams and then pull the cheap fabric they're made off apart so the old stripe material (mostly) doesn't show.  Smiley I'm about a third of the way done with them. After that, all I have left to put on is the "no ghost" patch and Moonie's suit will be done. Then I'll start on either Skywise's or Spirit's. I'm putting off finishing mine until last 'cause moving those thigh pockets is going to be a Smiley....

I was just in Spirit's room and I noticed that her uniform wasn't there.
I asked her where it was.
She made a beeline for my bedroom where she had put it on a basket of clean laundry.
Asked her if she wanted me to work on it next (Moonie's is almost done) and she said "yes".
My fingers are gonna be so sore....

May have found a suitable combat boot for my uniform. Skywise is on his way home. I'll see what he thinks....

Skywise approves of the boots so I'll order them as soon as I put more $$ on my debt card. For now, I'm gonna go work on Moonie's uniform.
