[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:26 PM] <jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:27 PM] * Shiral snaps her fingers and produces a birthday cake for Bee and Jemler
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:28 PM] <Evie> hi KK
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:30 PM] <the_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:36 PM] <Shiral> Hello, Katherine!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:37 PM] Join Jerusha has joined this channel (Mibbit@OWIRCN-922770b9.dsl.bell.ca).
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:40 PM] <Evie> I just answered your research question...sort of. :-)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:41 PM] <jemler> hi jerusha
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:48 PM] <Shiral> So did I. =o_)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:53 PM] <Shiral> The research question that is
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:54 PM] <the_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:56 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:04:59 PM] <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:05:02 PM] <KK> Sounds li8ke Happy Birthday, tome.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:05:05 PM] <Evie> hi, other arrivals
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:05:16 PM] <kirienne> I feel fine, but I start Chemo on 4/2 so I'll probably have a few iffy days after each session. I have 6 sessions to go through. I'll be having chemo every 3 weeks and will be on medical leave as the docs are not letting me work. I need prayers for the financial aspect as well as physical
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:05:42 PM] <the_Bee> I am now a septuagenarian. Hope your chemo goes well, Kirienne.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:05:43 PM] * Shiral says cake is magic, whatever piece you cut for yourself will be your favorite kind of cake
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:05:43 PM] <kirienne> I'll be off work until mid-August
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:05:53 PM] <kirienne> Thanks bee
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:06:04 PM] <kirienne> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:06:08 PM] <Shiral> Yikes, that is nervous making, Kirienne
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:06:09 PM] <Jerusha> I think I like your cake, Shiral
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:06:29 PM] <Evie> Wow. Well, at least that should leave you better rested, kirienne. Will be praying.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:06:53 PM] <Jerusha> Definitely, Kirienne
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:06:53 PM] <Shiral> But hopefully, it will knock out the C-Monster
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:06:57 PM] * the_Bee sends recovery woodgies Kirienne's way.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:07:06 PM] <jemler> since i'm good on my birthday, and bad the rest of the year, my cake would be a combo of angel-devils food cake!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:07:08 PM] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:07:17 PM] <jemler> Limbo cake
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:07:24 PM] <kirienne> My company said not to worry , that they will help make up the difference between disability pay and pay check, but it'll most likely be in the form of a loan I'll have to pay back in small increments each payday. I have no clue how I'll manage that as each penny is pretty much accounted for in my budget as it is
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:07:27 PM] <Jerusha> Is that an oxymoron, Jemler?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:07:32 PM] <Shiral> My magic oven can handle that, Jemler
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:07:56 PM] <jemler> you got some more light bulbs for your easy bake oven?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:08:00 PM] <KK> Hope it goes well for you, Kirienne. My sister-in-law is currently doing chemo, and is luckily having no nausea. Has just lost her hair. She had a port put in her chest, so that they don't have to keep sticking her arms.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:08:02 PM] <kirienne> ?me likes Shiral's magic oven
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:08:18 PM] <kirienne> well that didn't come out the way I wanted it too, LOL
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:08:34 PM] <the_Bee> it's /me, not ?me
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:08:39 PM] <Evie> yay, I have all the tent pegs and poles for my new 1:6 scale US Army pup tent!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:08:41 PM] <Shiral> It's also anti-nausea cake, Kirienne
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:08:50 PM] <kirienne> I have to have a port put in my chest too. I'm getting nervous because I have not been told of day or time yet.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:09:03 PM] <Jerusha> You have a tent for puppies, Evie? :D
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:09:13 PM] <KK> It apparently makes the process much, much easier.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:09:13 PM] <kirienne> I will be losing my hair. I hope she continues to do well, KK
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:09:33 PM] <jemler> select a time that's the most inconvenient time for you, and they'll schedule it then! :)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:09:41 PM] <kirienne> Bee, That's what I tried to type, finger slipped
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:09:47 PM] <Jerusha> Hair grows back, Kirienne; you are what is important
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:09:49 PM] <KK> Me too. And I hope yours goes well. I'll keep you both in my prayers.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:09:52 PM] <Evie> That just gives you the chance to buy some fun wigs, kirienne. Alkari can tell you all about that.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:10:10 PM] <Evie> And yes, Jerusha, it's a tent for puppies. Army puppies. ;-)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:10:19 PM] <kirienne> I have some scarves and a couple of hats. so I'm not freaking out about my hair. I've been told it may come in even nicer
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:10:29 PM] <kirienne> thanks KK
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:10:39 PM] <Shiral> I bought a little tent for my cats, they won't go near it!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:10:43 PM] <Jerusha> And find some really cool earrings; large hoops and fun stuff
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:10:50 PM] <DesertRose> kirienne: my grandmother's hair came back after her chemo naturally curly; she'd been curling it all her life, so she was tickled that it did what she wanted it to without her really having to do anything with it for the first time in her life.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:11:00 PM] <KK> Gypsy scarves can also be fun.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:11:07 PM] <kirienne> My doc said that could happen
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:11:24 PM] <Shiral> If you've ever wondered how you'd look in a turban, this is your big chance to find out. =o)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:11:32 PM] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:11:53 PM] <Shiral> Nurture your inner Rajah!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:11:54 PM] <the_Bee> a peruke and a fright wig
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:12:01 PM] <KK> Evie, will Luke try to get inot the pup tent?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:12:03 PM] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:12:22 PM] <Jerusha> Or a nice Andelonial veil
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:12:24 PM] <Shiral> Or you could go with the Marie Antoinette look
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:12:26 PM] <Evie> I have a really cute, beaded turban that I never wear, so if you think you'd like it, you can pm me your address and I'll mail it to you next time I'm at the post awful.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:12:34 PM] <kirienne> My sister siad she'll buy me a wig when I decide I want one
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:12:47 PM] <Evie> It's too small for Luke, though that wouldn't stop him from trying, KK. :D
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:12:50 PM] <kirienne> Thanks Evie
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:13:11 PM] <KK> BTW, than you, Shiral and Evie, for the research assistance. That's what I needed.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:13:16 PM] <Shiral> Cats love to squeeze into tiny spaces
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:13:32 PM] <KK> And onto laps, like Gus is doing now.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:13:35 PM] <Jerusha> What were you researching, KK
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:13:42 PM] <Shiral> You're very welcome. Of course, we're acting in enlightened self-interest. =o)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:13:43 PM] <the_Bee> Hi Gus!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:13:50 PM] <Evie> Glad to help. The good thing about having the Kindle version of the book is that the Search feature takes you right to the relevant scene. The bad thing is, I don't have standard page numbers.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:14:19 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Gus! :)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:14:24 PM] <Evie> trying to remember where a specific scene was in ITKS
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:14:26 PM] <Shiral> I still have an analog copy. Awfully hard to get your kindle version of a book autographed!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:14:34 PM] <DesertRose> Cats do love to disrupt whatever you're doing if it doesn't involve them.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:14:38 PM] <Evie> That's one of the few I don't have in hard copy
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:14:42 PM] <jemler> what scene?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:14:56 PM] <Evie> I originally read a library copy, and when i went to buy it, they had CM on the shelf but not ITKS
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:14:57 PM] <Shiral> The orgy scene, naturally, Jemler
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:15:10 PM] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:15:12 PM] <bynw> LOL
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:15:15 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:15:15 PM] <Jerusha> The what???
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:15:22 PM] <bynw> you are gonna make poor jemler go and try to find that now
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:15:29 PM] <Shiral> Oh, oh, sorry. wrong book!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:15:30 PM] <Evie> :D
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:15:34 PM] <Jerusha> I may try to find that now
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:15:38 PM] <jemler> i know better.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:16:08 PM] <Shiral> ;)we all know that Donal could be a VERY naughty boy.... =o)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:16:18 PM] <Evie> You don't recall the salacious scene in it with King Donal, Jessamy, and Richeldis? That's OK, jemler,neither do I.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:16:42 PM] <KK> Paget Sullivan is the son of Sir Evan Sullivan, who was visited by Oisian Adair, and he's getting knighted. So I thought it would be good for his father to be there.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:03 PM] <DesertRose> That would be customary, yes. :)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:06 PM] <Jerusha> I always came away with the impression the Donal loved Alyce in his own way

[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:12 PM] <DesertRose> Hi derynifanatic64.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:14 PM] <Shiral> Hi DF
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:15 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12hi all
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:19 PM] <jemler> hi df
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:19 PM] <the_Bee> Hi DF
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:20 PM] <Evie> Yes, unless dad is dead now or they're estranged, he'd pretty much be expected to be there, I would imagine
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:21 PM] <KK> Yes, he did.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:27 PM] <Shiral> I think Donal was definitely fond of her
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:36 PM] <Jerusha> Hi DF64
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:37 PM] <DesertRose> He was just ruthless.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:17:58 PM] <Jerusha> Sometimes it comes with the territory
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:18:02 PM] <Shiral> He was busy being king. And he didn't spend a lot of time agonizing about what he saw to be necessary
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:18:03 PM] <Evie> Well, if there'd been a lady named Ruth at court, he could have changed that....
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:18:05 PM] <jemler> he almost did! :)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:18:15 PM] <DesertRose> A king who isn't ruthless will probably not be king long in that culture.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:18:33 PM] <Shiral> Nope. You don't stay in power if you're a pushover
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:18:36 PM] <DesertRose> Nope.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:18:43 PM] <KK> Sort of like Game of Thrones, I suspect.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:18:59 PM] <Shiral> L'etat c'est moi, etc etc
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:19:04 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, yes, probably. Not having read the books nor seen the series, I couldn't say.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:19:07 PM] <jemler> "he is not yet sufficiently ruthless" Kyri of the Flame
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:19:29 PM] <Jerusha> That is a point in his favour
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:19:35 PM] <DesertRose> That was of Kelson, who got there in time, but I get the impression Kelson has a bit more compassion than his dear grandpa.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:19:39 PM] <Shiral> Kelson got rid of his excess ruthfulness
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:19:52 PM] <kirienne> Hi DF
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:19:55 PM] <KK> They do what they have to do, and sometimes it isn't pleasant for anyone concerned. But it's expedient.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:19:57 PM] <Shiral> But I think he lacks the killer instinct
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:19:58 PM] <DesertRose> Kelson agonizes, sometimes too much.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:19:58 PM] <Jerusha> He liked someone named Ruth?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:20:04 PM] <Jerusha> :D
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:20:19 PM] <jemler> he was a Yankees fan
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:20:21 PM] <Shiral> Why DR, I'm SHOCKED shocked that you think so. =o)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:20:25 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:20:28 PM] <Evie> KK, did my 3D tentative floor plan for Duncan's study come closer than my rough sketch to what you envision, or have you had a chance to see it yet? (Allowing for a change to medieval furnishings, of course!)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:21:29 PM] <Shiral> I don't think Kelson saw his campaign in Meara as mere "Mearan housecleaning." He felt bad about having to execute Judhael
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:21:38 PM] <KK> Yes, it's much better. And the great thing about a diaorama is that you can move the furniture around, once you've got the architecture right. The placement of the door and the window is critical.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:22:02 PM] <kirienne> I agree, Shiral
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:22:07 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, and I think he should have agonized over Judhael. Where I think he got excessive was his carrying on after Rothana had made it abundantly clear that she was NOT repeat not going to marry him.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:22:23 PM] <the_Bee> Is there a link to the diorama?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:22:27 PM] <KK> I agree, Shiral. I thibk he would like to have spared Judhael, but that just wasn't possible. Same with Conall.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:22:43 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, I don't think he was exactly gleeful over having to execute his own cousin.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:22:51 PM] <Jerusha> But Conal took away the woman he loved. You can't blame him for wanting her back
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:22:51 PM] <KK> Ah, but that's love, DesertRose.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:22:55 PM] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:23:00 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12Conall had to die
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:23:02 PM] <kirienne> Neither do I , I think he really agonized over it
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:23:07 PM] <Evie> Bee: http://www.flickr.com/photos/9573389@N08/sets/72157633058923170/ Click on thumbnails for larger pics
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:23:13 PM] <Shiral> Yes. I can't imagine Morgan putting up with much moping, from Kelson. A burst of grief once in a while, that's one thing. But 3 years of "why won't she marry me?" would get tiresome.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:23:29 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, exactly my point, Shiral.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:23:47 PM] <DesertRose> Morgan must have been ready to give Kelson a boot in the royal bum.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:23:55 PM] <Jerusha> Morgan may have been concentrating on Richenda at the time
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:23:56 PM] <Shiral> I'm sure Kelson regretted Conall's death for Nigel's sake. I'm not sure he regretted it for Conall's. There was a LOT of anger and hurt at work there.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:23:58 PM] <jemler> i clicked onmy thumbnail and nothing happened. should i try the other hand?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:23:59 PM] <KK> Gotta go see what the dogs are barking at. We've got 2 inches of snow on the ground since about 2 PM.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:24:11 PM] <Evie> wow
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:24:22 PM] * Evie swats jemler with a trout
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:24:26 PM] <Jerusha> Only two inches?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:24:48 PM] <Shiral> It is love. I don't blame Kelson for feeling hard done by. But I still wanted to shake him. =o)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:24:59 PM] <DesertRose> I don't think he was too happy with Conall over what Conall had done, especially with regard to the Rothana situation, but I don't think he was exactly jumping for joy over having had to execute Conall, either.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:25:04 PM] <Shiral> Hopefully, Araxie has cheered him up
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:25:11 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, most probably.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:25:14 PM] <Jerusha> Yes, it was time. But I understand his difficulty in selecting someone else
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:25:43 PM] <Shiral> Conall himself made it imppossible to spare him since he boasted he'd never rest until he won the crown
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:05 PM] <jemler> rest in peices, Conall.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:07 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12he would always be a threat to Kelson
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:09 PM] * jemler ducks
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:12 PM] <Shiral> Rory, luckily seems to be a much nicer young man
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:16 PM] <the_Bee> I think Nigel made a mistake by not packing Conall off to Carthmoor, where he he could have seen his own inheritance, not just Kelson's.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:17 PM] <Evie> Yes, it would be difficult to go from someone you truly love, and who is still very much present, to picking some other lady you have no feelings for from the crowd just because you have to play the Royal Stud and get some heirs.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:19 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12he's in a better place now
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:19 PM] <DesertRose> Conall just hacked off everybody, I think.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:22 PM] * Shiral throws a tin of sardines at Jemler
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:31 PM] <kirienne> Yes, Conall had to die
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:33 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12Tiercel could attest to that
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:41 PM] * DesertRose beats jemler with a trout.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:26:57 PM] <DesertRose> Poor Tiercel. He was an arrogant so and so, but he didn't deserve the end he got.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:27:23 PM] <Shiral> Even HE found Conall tiresome. =o)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:27:31 PM] <Jerusha> I always wondered what he would have done if he hadn't fallen down the stairs and had the chance to probe Conal's mind
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:27:40 PM] <Evie> Conall might have been content with Carthmoor for a while, but I got the impression from him that he wasn't the sort to stay content with playing second fiddle to anyone else, especially if it was just due to an accident of birth, as he saw it.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:27:41 PM] <the_Bee> If I could put myself in the story, I'd be there to catch Tiercel as he fell. Tha was the point of no return for Conall.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:27:58 PM] <DesertRose> That could have had an interesting end, Tiercel being able to probe Conall's mind.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:28:24 PM] <Shiral> I would have talked Rothana into refusing him and running off to find sanctuary with Richenda at Corwyn
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:28:24 PM] <Jerusha> What would he have done with Conall, with what he would have found?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:28:45 PM] <DesertRose> No telling, but he was a member of the Camberian Council with all their prized ruthlessness.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:29:09 PM] <the_Bee> I think the shock of what he'd almost done could have jolted Conall back to his senses.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:29:25 PM] <Jerusha> But not for long
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:29:29 PM] <Evie> Conall might have ended up having some tragic "accident," with no one in his family ever finding out how low the boy was willing to sink to get power
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:29:44 PM] <Jerusha> I can see that happening
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:30:31 PM] <Evie> The CC would see it as a dynastic crisis averted, while the Haldanes would bury him in a place of honor, never suspecting where his scheming might have led to.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:30:59 PM] <Shiral> On the other hand, would Kelson and Rothana have found lasting happiness? Granted, they're young and attracted to each other, but for the long term, would they end up making war on each other?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:25 PM] <KK> I'm back. Good observations from all of you.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:30 PM] <DesertRose> WB, KK.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:30 PM] <Evie> I suspect they might have struck sparks off each other just a little too much for true longterm happiness.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:40 PM] <jemler> why not. the piece process would have been fun! ;P
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:40 PM] <Shiral> What was the cause of the Woofage?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:42 PM] <Evie> though it would be fun in the early years. :D
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:43 PM] * jemler ducks
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:45 PM] <Jerusha> Not war, but Rothana might not have understood political reality
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:48 PM] <the_Bee> But did Conall really start scheming before hekilled Tiercel and tried to absorb hismemories? KK hinted in Deryni Magic that that might have driven Conall mad.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:49 PM] <KK> I think Araxie is a better match.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:31:54 PM] <kirienne> I don't think it was "meant to be" for Kelson and Rothans to be together
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:32:16 PM] <Shiral> I think she will be a very politically astute queen
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:32:25 PM] <kirienne> so do I
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:32:26 PM] <Evie> he was scheming to get Deryni potential that wasn't rightfully his, since only one Haldane at a time was meant to wield it.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:32:27 PM] <KK> About 5 girls walking down the other side of the street, talking loudly. The dogs objected. It's "their" street.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:32:41 PM] <kirienne> LOL, KK
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:32:43 PM] <Shiral> And whill hopefully also supply a lot of little Haldanes
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:32:58 PM] <the_Bee> Sentimental me is hoping Kelson comes to realize that Araxie is the woman for him, not just a consolation prize.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:33:09 PM] <Shiral> Well that too, Bee
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:33:15 PM] <KK> I think he's probably already figured that out.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:33:16 PM] <Evie> He seemed to be coming around to that way of thinking by the end of KKB
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:33:19 PM] <Jerusha> I think he is already getting the picture,
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:33:31 PM] <Shiral> They seem to come around to realize they're very happy and comfortable together
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:33:48 PM] <Evie> Gigi has claimed the pup tent now.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:33:49 PM] <Shiral> He stops fretting over Rothana, anyway
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:33:53 PM] <the_Bee> Yes, Evie , but now Kelson is allowing Nigel and his surviving sons to exercise some Haldane power.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:33:59 PM] <Jerusha> Araxie did take a leap of faith, in that match
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:34:07 PM] <KK> I think he would have found that Rothana was far more different, coming from where she did. Araxie is a Haldane by birth as well as by marriage. That's an advantage.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:34:22 PM] <Evie> But that's with royal permission, not deliberately going against it, Bee. Big difference.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:34:36 PM] <Shiral> It might be a little hard to have her husband's first love parked down at the schola, though
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:34:59 PM] <KK> They're both Deryni, and intelligent women. I think they can work it out.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:35:00 PM] <Evie> Duncan will keep Rothana busy. Hard to get a Schola started from scratch, you know. ;-)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:35:09 PM] <KK> Rothana did pick Araxie, after all.

[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:40:11 PM] <the_Bee> Are there more birthdays in March because there are more weddings in June?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:40:29 PM] <DesertRose> My (theoretically silver) car is yellow with pollen, and we got a helluva thunderboomer yesterday.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:40:53 PM] <jemler> Shiral, that's Phil
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:40:54 PM] <Shiral> I know it's spring, because I'm sneezing more
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:40:57 PM] <Jerusha> My blue car is white with road salt
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:41:02 PM] <Evie> I keep hoping for a sunny weekend day so i can spray paint, but so far we've had two rainy ones in a row. :-(
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:41:03 PM] <DesertRose> Well, probably the pollen got washed off after all the rain, but it'll likely be yellow again soon.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:41:07 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12I just had a big storm today
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:41:46 PM] <Jerusha> KK, how are Alaric and Brion coping with waiting for Jehana's arrival in Rhemuth?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:41:56 PM] <KK> Scott drove up to Manassas today for a Morgan club meet, and he took my car, because we suspected the weather would get nasty.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:42:03 PM] <kirienne> we had a bit of rain a few days ago, but it was far less then the little they said we'd get
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:42:05 PM] <jemler> they got the maids to keep them busy.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:42:07 PM] <Shiral> Brion has to cope now, Alaric will have to cope after she arrives!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:42:32 PM] <Evie> I read "Morgan club" and immediately thought, "Alaric has an entire CLUB of fans?" ;-)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:42:38 PM] <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:42:42 PM] <kirienne> I thought the same thing, LOL
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:42:49 PM] <Shiral> Or, Who knew Morgan had an engine?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:43:01 PM] <Jerusha> I think she likes Alaric at first, until she finds out his heritage. Which will make it that harder on him
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:43:06 PM] <the_Bee> When I think of Morgan, I think or Morgan horses.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:43:15 PM] <KK> I've just had to rework the timing for the wedding, because a Twelfth Night wedding in Bremagne is just not on. It's now set for May 1 in Bremagne, and they'll easily be back in Rhemuth in time for Brion's birthday tourney.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:43:44 PM] <Shiral> Much better sailing weather in May
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:43:48 PM] <kirienne> :-D
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:43:58 PM] <Jerusha> Oh, a tourney? Alaric will be participating, won't he?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:44:03 PM] <jemler> i think of Morgan, i think of that hot redhead on the Wendy's commercials (Morgan Goodwin Smith)
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:44:10 PM] <Evie> And later Alaric can mutter "May Day! May Day!" jokes.... /me swats herself with a mackerel
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:44:23 PM] <Jerusha> EVIE!
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:44:24 PM] <KK> Her father was adamant that the wedding be in Bremagne--and heading straight across the Southern Sea is right out for winter.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:44:36 PM] <Shiral> Beltane, although I don't think Jehana would approve!

[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:52:08 PM] <the_Bee> Did anyone here watch JAG? I saw thepilot, but the noise of planes drowned out the dialog at the conclusion; so I couldn't tell who was the killer, what his motive was or how he was connected to the victim. I never watched another episode.
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:52:21 PM] <Shiral> Yes, thanks Jerusha. Right this way guys. I don't think it's supposed to smoke and produce orange sparks is it?
[Sunday, March 24, 2013] [07:52:53 PM] <KK> JAG was one of my favorite series ever, and NCIS was as spin-off.

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
