Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
Here's the link for the recording
Our TM Gail led us in intriguing Table Topics. We discovered that...
* TM BeckyJo defies Superstition Defying Day by not practicing any superstition. on ANY day. As a kid, she stepped on cracks which didn't breat her mother's back -which was good, since she loved her mother anyway (most of the time).
* DTM Mary Helen is determined to master the neutral gender of the German language so she can fraternize with Fraus, Frauleins and Herrs who speak back in impeccable English.
* Guest Nysir has learned a lot online and is currently taking a Christianity History online calls. Go Nysir!
* TM Jim G.'s favorite wife and favority diving partner since 1993 has stated that she will dive Mexican cenotes (water-filled sinkholes) in the Yucatan peninsula for her 80th. Jim reminded us that everyday is Wife Appreciation Day! He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM The Tom is his own favorite barber - ever since he was in the military - but everyone was left wondering how he cuts the back of his hair. We need a lesson, please, as we all want to save some money too!
Along came prepared speeches...
* TM Jose made clear the difference between fresh water chlorinated pools and salt water pools. Advantages are lower annual pool maintenance costs and great savings in body lotion to offset brittle skin from chlorine.
* TM Chris told a fascinating tale of courage of Robert Smalls, born to slavery, rented out and put to work in docks, who ingeneously managed to escape slavery, eventually bought back the plantation and allowed his slaveowner's widow to live in it till she died. She Won Best Speaker Award.
Regarding the evaluations...
* TM Jim G. was riveted by TM Jose's speech because he, TM Jim G., is riveted by salt-water pools and the internet of things. He encouraged TM Jose to use a couple of pictures for illustration or show a selfie video swimming in the salt water pool.
* TM BeckyJo asked TM Chris to avoid Spoiler Alerts and keep us guessing if the hero will survive till the end. Also, please stimulate our senses with vivid imagery (the crashing of the waves, the deafening explosion of the cannos, the swaying sails of surrender. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
