Welcome to the commune

[GauntJudy]

Please leave your possessions at the door, we live a simple life here, no currency, self sustaining, communal meals and electricity from 7pm to 9pm only.

Now to the first matter.

What job you want?

That's ideal @AliceOlive you can be a "Proactivist" you never pass stuff on stairs without carrying it up, you can spot a thinning toilet roll from 50 metres, and there's never a trip hazard on your watch.

These puns didn't get enough attention, excellent work @Malbecmerlot 👏

Happy to knit lots of pairs of socks 🧦

Never mind socks! (Socks are important I know.)
But we need somewhere to live! How much dosh is swilling about?
How about this? 😍

I'm no good at anything, can you keep me as a pet?

Or - I know - can I be your hermit? I can dwell alone but for a cat in a little shack up in the wild woods and dispense words of mystic wisdom/made up bullshit to passing pilgrims on request...

I assumed it was women-only, not keen if there are any men there.

I could also teach a morning yoga class

Hello fellow yoga teacher @TheHavanaCats
Well I was. Retired now but can still yoga it up with the best of 'em. 😁

That sounds very interesting...

I can't join as my talents are utterly.useless in an apocalypse.

I think we should at least TRY guinea pig yarn undies before deciding anything. Sensible high leg design please.

Thats the spirit! And right you are on the design. Is anyone up for being the yarn dyer? I've never dabbled in dyeing. It would be a bit dull if we were linited to guinea pig-coloured undies. I'm sure someone could create some intetesting dyes from berries and flowers etc!

I can probably manage dyes, if it colours soap it's likely to colour other things. Unless we have a hitherto undeclared dyer amongst us?

I learnt a bit about dying wool when I was a teenager. It might still be in my brain somewhere.
@heldinadream good find. I particularly like that there are loads of bathrooms. Do we maybe need a bit more land though for the guinea pigs?

You say you’ve knitted a sock… can you do two socks or will the one-sock wearing woman be out secret signal so we can spot each other in the wild?

I can do the dyeing, indigo and other natural dyes

I'm at my very boring computer based job today waving around my hands when I talk and they are still stained blue from indigo dyeing at the weekend

Designated “No chat, no offence taken” tables are an excellent idea. Great range of skills so far, too. This commune really does just keep getting better and better.

Well, by now I have completed the pair of socks, but I like the option to wear just the one for the purposes of identifying others and possible recruitment of new members.

Those are beautiful. Have you been watching old episodes of Northern exposure?

These are magnificent socks! How long will it take you to make some for the entire commune? Half the time if we just have one each!

Can I join please , I can make drip and moulded candles out of paraffin or bees wax
I'd also love to learn how to keep bees.

Walks in Hi @ScottBakula are you deserting the cafe?

OP I haafe and petting zoo in the wide awake club, I can send my cocktail waiter, Fernando over with a range of cocktails, assuming this isn't a dry commune.

@sashh , absolutely not , your cafe has kept me sane ( well sane ish ) .
There is mead brewing over there so I am sure Fernando can drop off some tasty drinks

Has anyone found a suitable site yet?
Apologies, it won't let me delete any ats that I have added. So I will have to comment on the fact that I love
@ScottBakula s name

The site proposed was far too expensive which was the material reason for its non-selection but as the resident shaman I can also inform you that it was haunted by misogynists so wouldn't have been suitable anyway. Also, it was too modernly and recently decorated with fibres and paints etc that make it more difficult to activate your third eye and cleanse your pineal gland.

Thus no.

We have a budget so far of £15,693.50 and require a 25 bedroom property.

Commune leader can you please develop a spiritual ideology that suits a rich and generous demographic please. It needs to include their cleansing of their aura or karma by handing over money. Something like that. Are you sure you're charismatic enough to pull this off?

Cheers.

Not sure I want to participate in the aura cleansing, but I'll give it a go. I can contribute by putting up ikea furniture and other practical skills.

@Geneticsbunny , aww thank you.

I wonder if there is a small island somewhere that we could adopt, it will be easier to keep the riff raff out and of course it will have its own fresh water spring or well and a abundance of wild fruit trees .

Can we all start looking for lose change down the back of the sofas https://www.vladi-private-islands.de/en/areas/private-islands-for-sale-in-great-britain
