- we cancelled halloween because we acquired a company with some very religious leadership who take offense to halloween. - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Oct 24, 11:19 4
  - Our team toned down the spooky stuff due to a team mate who was religious - Pippy the Lioness Oct 24, 12:18
  - but . . . you acquired them - hollywood big shot Oct 24, 11:22
  - At least they're consistent? Though I'm guessing that whole Christ thing at the end of year is still on? -- nm - JD Oct 24, 11:21 1
    - yes that's still on for sure. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Oct 24, 11:26

    - yeah - and it's only 3 short weeks before Thanksgiving and unavoidable yet delicious stuffing. And then the holidays are in full swing, so... - Diva Oct 24, 11:23 2
      - Always figured that's why gym memberships double in January -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 24, 11:27 1
        
        I flirt with doing Dry January, but mel's bday is in that month so it probably wouldn't work too well. - Diva Oct 24, 11:30
- we should office swap cause it's all lost on me -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 24, 11:05 1
  - I like taking photos of such things. But, I have no interest in participating. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 24, 11:07 [flickr]
Diva's post and yours are perfect together. -- nm - David Oct 24, 11:01
