Earlier...
*Ed sets Jodie a-feeding on pruning olderish posts.
UD: Why do you insist on calling the scythe Jodie?
Me: Cause instead of Scythe 2.0 who had Mr. Feenie's voice, this scythe has the angelic voice of Jodie Bensen.

Later, after Jodie has finally finished cutting down everything she was programmed to target.
, *looking at the diminished total of amethysts in our house points hourglass a little sadly. Can't be helped, part of trimming down old posts.
*Waits for Kathy to reply, might check with Aunt Ru also, hope she's celebrating KG's 10th anniversary.

[The Count]

Man, I'm bushed. No wonder what with all the work whacking away old dead posts this whole weekend. At least I have a little down time for now. Might just go read some fics or watch some DVD's I've had on hold for a while now.

 

[The Count]

*Comes in from working in the old post trenches.

UD: Rough day?
Me: Yeah, gotta wash my hands from all the mucking about unclogging Jodie. How she can pack away so many posts still retaining her ghoulish figure I'll never know. But I did find some gems that made me smile.
UD: Oh? Which ones.
Me: Found the panoramic 40-haunter tour through Count's castle.
Ah yes, I remember that one.
Me: Yep, though some of the names and numberings have changed, it's still a fun post from the HVC 2010 past. Might have to get that soda-bubbling hooka for when we go to the cinema to watch Through the Looking Glass in a month or so.
We going to eat soon?
Me: Sure thing Cook.
*Setting the table for the monsters to get their feed on while Batty devours any bothersome little moths that keep flittering in and out.

 

[Katzi428]

Earlier tonight:
Ooohh..Delicious! Thanks for making that Death By Chocolate for me, Helga! I loved it!
Helga: Ah..it was nuthing! But I'm glad yu enjoyed it, Kethy.
And thanks for the books and DVDs everyone.
: Just remember to tear yourself away from that cat book every so often to eat, Kitty Kat
I will, you nut!
Robin: What about those Nanny DVDs , Mom? Gotta tear yourself away from the TV to eat with us .
Yes, dear! laughing
: Yu know mebbe I'll teke sum uv det Death By Choklit nekst door. Uncle Dedly likes anything tu do with death yu know!

 

[The Count]

*Returning from a long day at pruning posts.

So, we get any food from Mom?
Me think Count got it with the mail.
Yes, she sent some servings of lasagna, with a note to send back her plastic containers.
Me: Thanks, someone call Uncle D so we can sit down to eat.

Later...
Mmm, now that's a good lasagna. What makes it even better is the new file with all the haunters write-ups has reached 111.
That's vonderful! One-ninth of the vay to equaling the Haunted Mansion.
Me: Yep, and I've got plans to get the file/list to the two-ninths mark. Just need to consult Kathy or Gina about something.

 

[The Count]

*Ed almost ready to knock off for the night.
*UD grinning from a new fanfic we've found and contributing ideas to the author's wickedly evil plans.

* puts back the milk after finishing a late snack.

*Bats fly a birthday card to Kathy's and Kim's rooms respectively.

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

Kim: Thanks for the card, Ed!
Gillis: How goes the transfer?
Kim: Just the iTunes folder left to go. And the transfer time has already fluctuated from one hour to two, so who knows just how long that's going to take.
Lily: I'm sorry you lost so much, Kim. All your pictures and music and movies...
Kim: Yeah. But at least I had an older iTunes folder on my hard drive. And I still had the Dropbox link to the pictures from Grandpa's slide show, and some of my vacation pictures backed up on Dropbox and OneDrive. Everything else...
Boober: Maybe it was a sign?
