[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:03:27 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:03:30 PM] <jemler> hk kk
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:03:36 PM] <Annie> hi KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:03:49 PM] <DesertRose> Evie says to say "Hi" to you; she can't make it tonight because they have to meet some friends for supper.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:04:38 PM] <jemler> theey are having a royal time. dinner at burger king, desert at dairy queen.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:04:53 PM] * DesertRose slaps jemler with a goldfish.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:05:11 PM] <jemler> not long john silvers!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:05:22 PM] <jemler> or is that red lobster?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:05:41 PM] * DesertRose rolls her eyes.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:05:47 PM] <jemler> lol

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:07:08 PM] <DesertRose> Hey, cynicalmedic.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:07:23 PM] <cynicalmedic> Evening, DR
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:07:34 PM] <DesertRose> How's things?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:07:53 PM] <cynicalmedic> I start my new real job tomorrow
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:08:01 PM] <DesertRose> Cool.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:08:08 PM] <DesertRose> "Real job?"
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:08:17 PM] <KK> Hey, gang. Just taking time out here from Nigel's knighting. He'd fallen by the wayside, so I've spent several days layering him into this timeframe, as we head for the battle with the Marluk in a few months.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:08:21 PM] <jemler> hi cm
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:08:27 PM] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:08:35 PM] <Annie> cool
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:08:40 PM] <cynicalmedic> EMS is volunteer, only. I work for Johns Hopkins to get paid
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:08:40 PM] <DesertRose> We can't forget about Nigel.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:08:42 PM] <KK> How's it looking, CM?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:08:44 PM] <DesertRose> Ah, okay.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:09:12 PM] <cynicalmedic> Looks good, actually. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:09:38 PM] <DesertRose> Evie won't be here tonight. She has to meet friends for supper.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:10:21 PM] <KK> I knew that. Had an e-mail earlier, while she and shiral were helping me out on a research question.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:10:33 PM] <jemler> i'm not a big fan of goldfish, so i'll shut up now! :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:10:45 PM] <KK> I'm going to have to get the books in e-versions, so I can use the search feature to look things up.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:10:58 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, cool. She popped in for a few minutes and asked that somebody convey her hello to you. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:11:30 PM] <KK> Anybody looked at the website recently? She's found a canopy bed for the Littles.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:11:36 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, I saw that.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:12:14 PM] <cynicalmedic> Even kings have problems with Ikea's instructions, it seems
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:12:36 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:12:49 PM] <KK> Canopy beds are cool. We have one, and I put a crocheted canopy on it. Much less claustrophobic than a solid one, and suitable for summer or winter.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:13:04 PM] <DesertRose> I had one when I was a kid.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:13:36 PM] <DesertRose> My room was all pink and frilly then.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:13:43 PM] <jemler> never got the canopy thing. what is it supposed to be for?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:14:16 PM] <KK> In the days of thatched roofs, it was to keep creep-crawlies from falling on you in the night, and the urtains skept out drafts.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:14:25 PM] <KK> curtains
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:14:37 PM] <KK> We have no curtains on ours.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:15:02 PM] <jemler> hang some. it'll keep out the ac!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:16:02 PM] <KK> I like the AC. As it is, I sometimes end up throwing off the top later, when it gets too stuffy in the room.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:16:23 PM] <DesertRose> I can't sleep if the room is too warm.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:16:38 PM] <KK> And like I said, curtains can be claustrophobic--and you can't see the growlies creeping up on you.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:18:20 PM] <KK> Is Irina actually there? Her name was here last week, but she never said a word.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:18:36 PM] <jemler> do the pygmy lions stalk you during the night?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:18:51 PM] <KK> Yes. Don't need them to snag curtains, either.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:19:43 PM] <jemler> irina123 is her logging chat.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:19:51 PM] <KK> The crochet canopy is a happy compromise; looks nice, but you can see right through it.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:20:20 PM] <KK> I think it's a colonial thing here in America.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:23:18 PM] <cynicalmedic> Blast - have to go - have a good week, all!

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:23:42 PM] <DesertRose> Dang it, she always bails before I can type, "See you later."
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:24:03 PM] <KK> Must be working and had a call-out.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:24:08 PM] <Annie> "bye" is quicker :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:24:10 PM] <DesertRose> I can't say I recall ever seeing a canopy bed with a crocheted canopy.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:24:20 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, true, Annie.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:24:54 PM] <KK> It may be a southern thing. I found mine online, after seeing them advertised in a colonial house magazine.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:25:00 PM] <DesertRose> Cool.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:25:10 PM] <DesertRose> I can see it being a Southern thing, because of the heat in the South.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:25:24 PM] <DesertRose> Up in cooler climates, you'd want a solid canopy.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:25:34 PM] <KK> They crochet them in North Carolina, I think. Each one is handmade, and there are half a dozen different styles and lengths that they cone down from the top of the frame.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:25:50 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, awesome. I bet it's pretty.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:25:56 PM] <KK> Historically, there were summer and winter bed hangings, and they changed with the weather.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:26:03 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, that makes sense.

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:26:24 PM] <jemler> crotched afghans are pretty warm. my mother used to make tham.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:26:25 PM] <KK> It may be that the crochet ones are a later invention, to give the illusion of a canopy without the hassle of a full canopy.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:26:31 PM] <DesertRose> Maybe so.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:26:40 PM] Nick mib_lxtgr4 is now known as Bee.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:26:47 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, hi Bee.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:26:49 PM] <jemler> hi bee
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:26:50 PM] <KK> These are very openwork, almost more like macrame, with a fringe on the bottom.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:26:55 PM] <Annie> hi bee
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:26:58 PM] <KK> Hi, Bee.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:27:00 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, okay.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:27:20 PM] <Bee> Hi all. I almost couldn't get in. MyMIRC is on the fritz.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:27:33 PM] <DesertRose> Bummer, Bee.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:27:54 PM] <KK> Well, at least you finally succeeded.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:28:17 PM] <Bee> yep. How goes the writing?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:28:21 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, glad to see you, Bee.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:29:03 PM] <Bee> Who's crocheting afghans?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:29:17 PM] <KK> Just finished knighting Nigel. I'd forgotten about him, and had to layer him in in this time-period, to get him ready for the Marluk. Meanwhile, he's about to meet Meraude, whose brother Saer has just become a Haldane squire for a few years.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:29:18 PM] <jemler> my mother used to.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:29:24 PM] <DesertRose> We were actually talking about crocheted bed canopies.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:30:00 PM] <DesertRose> For some reason, I had it in my head that Saer was older than Meraude. Obviously not. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:30:15 PM] <Bee> How could you forget abot NIGEL??!!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:30:55 PM] <KK> I hadn't forgotten him, I'd just neglected him while I was working out the time parameters for this period of time.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:31:10 PM] <DesertRose> Poor Nigel.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:31:18 PM] <Annie> Are Alaric and Nigel friends at this point, KK, or does that develop later? They obviously have a deep friendship later on.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:31:41 PM] <jemler> it's a good thing he's 18, that could be child neglect! :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:33:36 PM] <KK> THey're friends in much the same way that Alari and Brion are friends, given the age differences and differences in rank. Those differences will minimize as they all get older. But yes, we see shades of the developing friendship.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:33:53 PM] <Annie> cool
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:34:04 PM] <Bee> bound by common loyalties
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:34:05 PM] <KK> He's just a month short of being 18, but as we know, that age isn't set in stome, especially if you're a prince.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:35:21 PM] <KK> Anyway, Saer's father and sister come to court to see Saer shift from being a Rhendall squire (his father is Earl of) and being a Haldane squire, whereby he will gain experience at the Haldane court.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:35:49 PM] <Annie> whenever I try to type, gibberish is coming out, so I think my brain is telling me it's time to sleep (case in point: just typed sleap!)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:36:12 PM] <Bee> Sweet dreams, Annie
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:36:13 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, night night, Annie.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:36:17 PM] <jemler> nite annie
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:36:19 PM] <KK> Jehana has introduced court dancing, which they do in Bremagne, and she's had all the pages and squire taking lessons--which pleases Richard, since it develops better footwork for fighting.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:36:20 PM] <Annie> actually, most of the time when I type, gibberish comes out. It's just worse now.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:36:29 PM] <Annie> night all :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:36:29 PM] * jemler tucks Annie in
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:36:38 PM] <KK> Ah, well, sleep well, Annie.

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:38:04 PM] <Bee> Is anyone else having trouble with mIRC?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:38:07 PM] <bynw> we make up quanity with quality
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:38:09 PM] <DesertRose> I don't use it any more.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:38:15 PM] <KK> Yeah, I wonder wehre everyone is.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:38:30 PM] <DesertRose> Maybe Shiral had to work?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:38:33 PM] <KK> There's a fairly recent upgrade, Bee. Do you have that?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:38:44 PM] <bynw> Bee: I dont use mIRC myself ... but what trouble are you having with it?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:38:51 PM] <Bee> No. I haven't needed it till now.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:39:07 PM] <KK> She worked yesterday, too, but she may be racking up the overtime for her new condo.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:39:15 PM] <DesertRose> Maybe so.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:39:19 PM] <Bee> I logged me in, but wouldn't give me a list of channels.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:39:46 PM] <Bee> Has Shiral had any luck condo-hunting?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:40:09 PM] <bynw> there is an option to to get a list of possible default channels that might exist. but its best not to use that. just type /list to get a channel list
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:40:10 PM] <KK> Don't know. Maybe that's where she is right now.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:40:49 PM] <Bee> Thanks for the tip. Bynw

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:46:30 PM] <Shiral> Good school district,and good location
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:46:39 PM] <Bee> Is this place Dmitri-escape-proof?

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:46:56 PM] <DesertRose> That would require that she buy Alcatraz, Bee. :P
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:47:16 PM] <Shiral> I don't know,Bee. I might have to do some modification
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:47:55 PM] <Shiral> More like a Scottish Castle with one of those dungeons that you have to climb out of with a ladder

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:48:56 PM] <DesertRose> Some (expletive deleted) decided to break into a bunch of cars at my apartment building, including my car.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:49:08 PM] <KK> Yuck, DR. Did we hear about this before, or is this from this week?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:49:20 PM] <DesertRose> This just happened on Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:49:29 PM] <Bee> We heard it last week.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:49:31 PM] <KK> Did they take anything?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:49:35 PM] <Shiral> It has a nice high fence all around. But he could squeeze under it, or jump up and slip through the gaps in the fence rails around the top
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:49:48 PM] <DesertRose> No, because there was nothing of any real value to take in my car.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:50:03 PM] <KK> That's why I'm thinking kitty-proof screening within the fancing, if the condo association would allow it.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:50:05 PM] <DesertRose> They stole a bunch of CDs from one of my neighbors, though.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:50:07 PM] <Shiral> So they broke your window for nothing. :/
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:50:08 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12in the future, DR should put a sign on her car--"Protected by Stenrect Crawler"
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:50:17 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, DF.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:50:27 PM] <Shiral> Ward cubes, DR, I swear that's the way to go.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:50:39 PM] <DesertRose> Truly.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:50:50 PM] <KK> Proteted by Stenrect Security.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:50:53 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:51:05 PM] <Shiral> Violatos will be Toad
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:51:11 PM] <DesertRose> Yup.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:51:14 PM] <KK> lol, I like that.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:51:21 PM] <Shiral> Violators will be Toad, rathe
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:51:21 PM] <Bee> Maybe D'mitri had a portable ward field protecting him during his adventure.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:51:40 PM] <jemler> don't use an alarm! studies show that when a car alarm goes off, fewer than 0.5% of car thieves stop breaking into it! :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:51:40 PM] <Shiral> I'd have to ward the whole patio
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:52:07 PM] <DesertRose> The stupid thing is, my car has a car alarm, but it didn't go off in any case.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:52:36 PM] <KK> Did more than 1 alarm go off? Didn't anyone hear?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:52:42 PM] <DesertRose> My car alarm is really fairly useless anyway.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:52:47 PM] <Shiral> Of course, If I could set wards it would follow that I could also do some Feline Behavior Modification and stop Dmitri wanting to go outside.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:52:52 PM] <DesertRose> No, I don't think anybody's alarms went off.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:53:04 PM] <KK> Shiral, you could build him a cat habitat on the patio.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:53:19 PM] <DesertRose> A catio?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:53:26 PM] <KK> Yes!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:53:26 PM] <Shiral> I could. Although First I have to get the place
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:53:32 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12:D
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:53:45 PM] <KK> Maybe if we talk like you've already won it, it, it will happen.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:54:01 PM] <Shiral> If I build it it will come
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:54:09 PM] <KK> (only need two its there)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:54:25 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:54:56 PM] <Shiral> I don't know if Dmitri would handle 4 Deryni following him around with a moving ward. =o)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:55:11 PM] <KK> Probably not.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:55:14 PM] <Bee> Could they handle him?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:55:46 PM] <Shiral> Oh, probably. But the going rate for Deryni Cat Sitters is Prohibitiv
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:56:01 PM] <Shiral> Prohibitive. BAD Keyboard, today
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:56:55 PM] <KK> So, DR, is your car insurance covering the new window?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:57:23 PM] <jemler> a Deryni Cat? does it cast a ward around mice when playing with them?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:57:28 PM] <DesertRose> No, Victim Services is paying for it to be replaced.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:57:45 PM] <DesertRose> The cost to replace the window is less than my deductible in any case.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:57:49 PM] <KK> Ah, as long as someone besides you is paying.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:58:00 PM] <Shiral> He's not a Deryni Cat. Just an agent of destruction
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:58:02 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, because I do NOT have the money for this crap. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:58:10 PM] <Shiral> KK Any book news this week?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:58:33 PM] <KK> Yes, you'll be pleased to learn that Nigel has just been knighted, and is about to meet Meraude.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:58:42 PM] Quit Elim has left this server (Client closed the connection).
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:58:59 PM] <Shiral> Excelllent. They have to get together to produce all those little Haldanes
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:59:05 PM] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:59:15 PM] <Shiral> Sharon will be pleased. =o)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [07:59:46 PM] <KK> I'd semi-forgotten about Nigel, in the tizzy of working out everyone else's timeline leading up to the Marluk incident, and had to layer Nigel in.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:00:09 PM] <Shiral> He can't stay nine years old forever
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:00:22 PM] <DesertRose> It happens, especially when you have so many characters to try to keep up with.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:00:42 PM] <KK> Jehana has instituted dance lessons for the pages and squires, because they dance a lot in Bremagne. Richard approves, because the footwork is good for sword footwork.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:00:49 PM] <Shiral> He was waiting around politely like a knight, waiting to be remembered
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:00:59 PM] <DesertRose> Nigel is nothing if not polite. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:01:39 PM] <Shiral> Can't have the Haldane knights clod-hopping around on the dance floor at feasts
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:01:43 PM] <KK> Well, he was holding down the fort at home while Brion went off to get married and Alaric was off to Lendour to help with bringing back Xenia's body. I just had to pick up Nigel's storyline and run with it.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:01:44 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12Nope
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:02:10 PM] <KK> He's on the Marluk campaign, after all.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:02:48 PM] <Shiral> True. And a very eligible young man, as well
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:02:51 PM] <DesertRose> I can just see KK's thought process. Write-write-write--oops, where's Nigel?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:03:06 PM] <Shiral> He was here just a minute ago...
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:03:09 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:03:27 PM] <Shiral> Maybe he's hiding under the Codex....
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:03:49 PM] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:04:20 PM] <Shiral> Or over here by this stack of scrolls, or looking through the Stud Book
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:04:28 PM] <KK> He swasn't lost or forgotten, just carrying on with his training. That's how you get to be the best.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:04:34 PM] <DesertRose> There you go. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:04:58 PM] <jemler> kk, maybe you need a vacation from writing. how about 6 months in the bahamas?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:05:02 PM] <Shiral> He's always been a disciplined young man
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:05:16 PM] Join Elim has joined this channel (~Elim@survival.is.preparedness).
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:05:16 PM] Mode derynibot gives Elim permission to talk.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:05:21 PM] <jemler> hi elim
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:05:28 PM] <DesertRose> WB Elim.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:05:29 PM] <Shiral> WB Elim
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:05:53 PM] <Bee> Re-hi, Elim
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:06:01 PM] <KK> Vacation won't help, at this point. Just have to push on and finish.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:06:43 PM] <DesertRose> Who's paying for 6 months in the Bahamas, anyway?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:06:52 PM] <Shiral> Don't be tempting her,Jemler! AFTER the book is finished, I recommend a holiday at the Ile D'Orsal
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:07:01 PM] <jemler> well, with everyone pushing you to finish, i figured you
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:07:22 PM] <jemler> were under a lot of pressure.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:07:51 PM] * DesertRose puts grenadine out for making Bahama Mamas.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:08:11 PM] * Shiral adds some fresh pineapple
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:08:17 PM] <DesertRose> Yum!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:08:21 PM] <jemler> i thought you used rum for that.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:08:26 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12:D
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:08:32 PM] <DesertRose> You do, but grenadine is what makes them pink. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:09:18 PM] <jemler> i never had ome
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:10:02 PM] <DesertRose> http://allrecipes.com/recipe/bahama-mama/
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:10:08 PM] <Shiral> me neither, Jemler. But I love a good Mai Tai
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:11:04 PM] <DesertRose> I like mojitos myself, and of course, rum and Coke. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:11:30 PM] <Bee> or a dark'n'stormy
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:11:46 PM] <DesertRose> Pineapple makes a great garnish for a Bahama Mama, because they have pineapple juice in them anyway.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:11:49 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12STORMY WEATHER!!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:13:01 PM] <jemler> 'don't know why, there's no sun up in the sky, stormy weather'
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:14:10 PM] <Shiral> Sounds too much like Gwynedd in Winter
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:16:45 PM] <Shiral> Maybe KK went to locate more characters
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:16:57 PM] <DesertRose> Maybe. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:17:16 PM] <jemler> find Se!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:17:21 PM] <Shiral> Heeere, Jehana.....Here Silke!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:17:39 PM] <Bee> Gwynedd sound like what Great Britain might have been, ig the Britons had previled instead of being driven into Wales and Cornwall by the Saxons.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:17:52 PM] <Shiral> Finding Se is impossib;le--Se finds YOU!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:18:07 PM] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:18:13 PM] <KK> Nope, I'm just thinking I need to sign off, so that I can get Nigel and Meraude together.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:18:27 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12that's important
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:18:28 PM] <Bee> A noble cause!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:18:31 PM] <DesertRose> Okay. Thanks for coming to visit with us, KK. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:18:39 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12good night

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:18:51 PM] <bynw> thanks for stopping by KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:18:52 PM] <KK> Finding Se is difficult, as Alaric is learning, though he does try.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:18:52 PM] <Bee> Glad you came, have a good week.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:18:53 PM] <jemler> nite kk

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:19:04 PM] <KK> Yep, see you next week.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:19:05 PM] <jemler> think about bahama~!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:19:15 PM] <Shiral> Hope all goes well in Gwynedd this week
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:19:29 PM] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves good night, sends condo woodgies to Shiral, and disappears in a shower of green spark.es
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:19:47 PM] <Shiral> Thanks KK! I can always use more Woodgies! =o)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:20:01 PM] <KK> Bahama holds no allure to me. Don't like hot. Went to Antigua a while back, and was not that impressed.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:20:21 PM] <jemler> alaska?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:20:22 PM] <Bee> Ireland then? or Scandinavia?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:20:25 PM] <KK> Nighters.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:20:26 PM] <Shiral> How about a walk in the windy Scottish Highlands!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:20:39 PM] <KK> Right now, it's HOT over there!
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:20:44 PM] <DesertRose> A cruise in the Baltic Sea?
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:20:47 PM] <Shiral> Night KK.Get Romantic with N and M!

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:21:16 PM] <DesertRose> Visit Alkari and Duck. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:21:17 PM] <KK> Danube River cruise coming up in December, tho with my mom rather than my sweetie.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:21:23 PM] <DesertRose> Oh cool. :)

[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:21:38 PM] <Shiral> A different kind of sweetie, is all
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:21:41 PM] <DesertRose> Night, KK.
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:21:49 PM] <Shiral> Huggles KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2013] [08:21:58 PM] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: ).
"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.)
