[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:15:27 PM] <Evie> hi, KK
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:15:29 PM] <The_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:15:40 PM] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:15:48 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:15:54 PM] <KK> Evie, how did the MRI go?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:16:12 PM] <Evie> Well, I have a cool disk of images of the inside of my shoulder now.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:16:34 PM] <KK> And they concluded...that you have a shoulder?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:16:43 PM] <Evie> It was sort of like listening to a concert by alien percussionists while lying half paralysed in a whitewashed coffin
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:17:34 PM] <Evie> They concluded that I probably have adhesive capsulitis, and also a low grade partial tear to the bursal superspinatus. Which translates to frozen shoulder and a small tear in a shoulder tendon.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:17:39 PM] <KK> That's one way to describe it, I suppose.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:17:50 PM] <Aerlys> BRB
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:17:54 PM] <KK> Is it healing, or will they have to repair it surgically?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:18:21 PM] <Evie> that, i don't know yet. I haven't had the follow up visit. From what I've read on the internet, though, it looks like I'm about at midstage
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:18:57 PM] <Evie> where the pain is slowly becoming more bearable, but the shoulder's range of motion is more frozen, and there are a variety of ways to get it to "thaw", none of which are quick
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:19:18 PM] <Evie> Surgery is one way, but usually they try less invasive therapies first
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:19:49 PM] <Evie> no matter what they do, though, it's not likely to be a quick fix either way. Average healing time tends to be 1-2 years
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:19:58 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, that sucks.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:20:04 PM] <The_Bee> Ouch!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:20:06 PM] <Evie> where the heck is the real Duncan when I need him?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:20:19 PM] <KK> Oh, yuck! And how do they think you did it?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:20:41 PM] <The_Bee> I want Rhys.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:20:45 PM] <jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:20:59 PM] <jemler> evie, there is one good thing to say about it.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:21:02 PM] <Evie> they didn't say. It can result from an accident in which you move it just the wrong way and strain or tear the tendon, but it can also be part of aging and tendons losing their natural elasticity
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:21:27 PM] <DesertRose> Evie, I assume DH was able to undo the damage from the bad download?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:21:42 PM] <Evie> I think I remember reaching backwards to get a heavy bag out of the rear seat of my car from the driver's seat and feeling a twinge about a day or two before I woke up aching.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:21:54 PM] <Evie> nope, the browsers are still jacked up.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:22:26 PM] <jemler> evie, there is one good thing to say about your shoulder.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:22:27 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, that sucks.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:22:27 PM] <Evie> Forums are the worst. Every single thread of the Rhemuth Castle Forum wants to display a popup ad for me right now
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:22:46 PM] <KK> I had a similar experience, when I sat up in bed and was trying to hoosh something off the bed in front of me, felt something go pop. It hurt. A lot. And it was several months before the pain really went away.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:23:02 PM] <Evie> all of the text is crammed to the right of the page, and the page is mainly filled with ads trying to load and, worse, transmit information to some other computer, though my malware blocker is blocking that part of it
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:23:04 PM] <The_Bee>
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:23:14 PM] <DesertRose> Oh crap, Evie.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:23:29 PM] <KK> Yike, that sounds like you were serioiusly hacked.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:23:41 PM] <Evie> so the photos i was planning to upload today to share on the forum will have to wait
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:23:51 PM] <KK> (extra i there in seriously)
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:24:04 PM] <jemler> evie, there is one good thing to say about your shoulder.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:24:19 PM] <Evie> One of my kids downloaded a program that is harmless in itself, but it came with a malware program, and he or she didn't know not to "install all"
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:24:41 PM] <DesertRose> Jerusha just PM'd me via the forum to say that she can't get into chat. I tried via the RC.com link, and Mibbit appears to be down, so we might be a small crowd tonight.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:24:46 PM] <Evie> it makes a good barometer now, jemler?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:24:49 PM] <Evie> or what?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:24:53 PM] <Aerlys> ooh, ow. My kids are blocked form doing tht on all our computers
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:24:57 PM] <jemler> no, you won't be able to load that friggin catapult!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:25:07 PM] <KK> I entered via Mibbit. It's working fine for me.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:25:10 PM] * jemler ducks
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:25:35 PM] <Aerlys> I had trouble with IRC, so used Otherworlders
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:25:36 PM] <Evie> I couldn't get to Mibbit on DS's computer, but he has some strong blockers on his browser, so that might be why
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:25:57 PM] <DesertRose> I usually come in via a separate chat client, and I can't get mibbit to load at all right now.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:26:25 PM] <The_Bee> mIRC works for me.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:26:33 PM] <jemler> me too
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:27:04 PM] <Aerlys> when I tried it, it just wouldn't load at all
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:27:30 PM] * The_Bee summons Rhys Thuryn to fix her face and Evie's shoulder.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:27:30 PM] <Evie> Don't remember if we already have this, but it might be helpful to have a thread in the Chatroom section giving alternate ways to get to Otherworlders if Mibbit is down
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:27:43 PM] <Evie> with easy explanations for the non-tech-savvy
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:27:58 PM] <KK> Anyway, for those who are here, welcome. I take it we all survived the snow.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:28:09 PM] <Evie> Nope,I'm a ghost. ;-)
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:28:14 PM] <KK> Bee, what's wrong with your face?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:28:14 PM] <The_Bee> No, we're all ghosts.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:28:40 PM] <The_Bee> My trike hit a pothole on the way home from church.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:28:49 PM] <Evie> We had a second ice storm the day before my MRI, and I was afraid that appointment would end up cancelled like the first one, but the clinics reopened at noon
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:28:54 PM] <Evie> and my appointment was at 3:00
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:28:57 PM] <KK> Oh, no.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:29:09 PM] <KK> Did it dump you, Bee?

[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:30:13 PM] <KK> Hi, Jerusha and guest.

[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:30:35 PM] <Evie> that will fix it
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:30:36 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, Laurna, you're showing up as deryni_guest_9446.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:30:37 PM] <The_Bee> sure if my face hit my handlebar or a parked car. Witness called an ambulance, and I spent several hours at the emergency room, most of it waiting.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:30:40 PM] Nick deryni_guest_9446 is now known as Laurna.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:30:44 PM] <The_Bee> no sure
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:30:45 PM] <Evie> yay!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:30:45 PM] <Laurna> Thank you
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:31:02 PM] <Evie> ow, Bee!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:31:10 PM] <Aerlys> oh Bee, ow awful!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:31:14 PM] <Aerlys> how

[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:31:28 PM] <The_Bee> trike vs pothole.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:31:31 PM] <Jerusha> Oh dear, Bee
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:31:37 PM] <KK> Ouch, Bee! And I'll bet you had nothing interesting with you to read....
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:09 PM] <The_Bee> right . and my lip was too sore to play my flute.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:15 PM] <Aerlys> Has Melantha given you proper kitty-comforting?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:23 PM] <Jerusha> That's no fun, Bee

[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:42 PM] <Shiral> Hi everyone
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:42 PM] <jemler> hi shiral
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:43 PM] <Aerlys> lol

[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:48 PM] <Evie> hi Shiral
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:49 PM] <Laurna> Did you get stitches?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:51 PM] <Aerlys> Hi shirla
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:54 PM] <Shiral> Mibbit wasn't letting me in
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:55 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:56 PM] <Aerlys> shiral
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:32:58 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral! Did you have a happy birthday celebration?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:33:06 PM] <Shiral> Yes, Thanks Bee
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:33:15 PM] <jemler> happy sweet 16!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:33:16 PM] <The_Bee> yes, Laurna. three stitches.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:33:20 PM] <Shiral> Didn't come last week because I was visiting my sister in Monterey
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:33:26 PM] <KK> Shiral, I liked your Christmas photo with Hawaiian shirts.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:33:44 PM] <Laurna> Oh dear, I hope they won't scar.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:33:46 PM] <KK> Three stitches, oh no.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:33:55 PM] <Shiral> Thanks, KK. Maui in December is wonderfully weird. But I gave my family Hawaiian Shirts all last year
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:34:14 PM] <Evie> I almost bought a 1:6 Hawaiian shirt. I thought Mini-Denis would look cute in it. But they were sold out.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:34:26 PM] <DesertRose> LoL
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:34:27 PM] <Shiral> Where did they have those for sale, Evie?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:34:33 PM] <Jerusha> I have hawiian shirts for the whippets
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:35:08 PM] <Shiral> When it's 82 degrees on Christmas Eve, it just makes SENSE to wear a big, splashy floral print.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:35:09 PM] <Aerlys> with little lei's and mai tais to go with them?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:35:35 PM] <Jerusha> I have the little umbrellas for their water dish:)
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:35:40 PM] <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:35:53 PM] <Jerusha> The mai tais are for me
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:36:00 PM] <Shiral> Dmitri would have SUCH fun with a parasol in his water dish
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:36:24 PM] <DesertRose> Of course. You can't give dogs alcohol; it's really bad for them, so the mai tais have to be for the hoomans.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:36:47 PM] <Jerusha> I do what I can
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:37:17 PM] <Aerlys> my dogs would probably prefer roadkill, anyway
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:37:20 PM] <KK> Be advised, they're showing UP on ABC.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:37:24 PM] <jemler> yeah, can't give dogs booze. to them it's the air of the human who bit him.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:37:36 PM] <jemler> hair, sorry
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:37:39 PM] <Shiral> Doesn't do me any good, since I'm at work
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:37:41 PM] <KK> Squirrel!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:37:43 PM] * DesertRose flails jemler with a trout.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:37:50 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:37:53 PM] <The_Bee> I remember a neighbor's pup helped herself to someone's drink. She kept climbing the stairs and rolling back down.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:38:10 PM] <jemler> i could do that, too!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:38:12 PM] * Jerusha grabs whippets. Someone said squirrel!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:38:12 PM] <Aerlys> lol what an image
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:38:24 PM] <DesertRose> My ex-husband used to tell a story about a friend of his who had a marijuana plant and her cat ate it. Stoner kitty.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:38:32 PM] <Aerlys> how goes it with your doggies, Laurna?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:38:37 PM] * Laurna closes the door on all 8 dogs
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:38:46 PM] <KK> 8?!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:38:47 PM] <Shiral> Amazed dog survived if it ate the whole thing
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:38:49 PM] <Jerusha> 8 Laurna?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:38:56 PM] <Laurna> they can never catch them though
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:00 PM] <Laurna> Yes 8
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:02 PM] <The_Bee> Laurna has her own dogsled team.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:11 PM] <Laurna> Miniture sled
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:12 PM] <Jerusha> Tails wagging all the way
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:12 PM] <Shiral> Why haven't you entered the Iditarod?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:30 PM] <Laurna> Warm weather person here soryy
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:32 PM] <Laurna> sorry
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:37 PM] <jemler> they won't let chihuahua's participaite!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:39 PM] <Shiral> Oh details
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:51 PM] * Evie pictures a 1:6 scale dogsled team. It would need to be pulled by Chihuahuas
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:39:55 PM] <Shiral> They should have a junior Iditarod
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:40:14 PM] <Aerlys> more like a mini one
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:40:21 PM] <KK> Warner caught a squirrel a few months back. It had been bold enough to come up on the back porch, fled when the dogs came out. Booker chased it straight down the back path, but Warner peeled to the right and headed it off somewhere in the side yard. He was very proud of himself, and ate the qhole thing. Hounds.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:40:29 PM] <jemler> instead of going 800 mikles, they go 8 feet!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:40:32 PM] <Laurna> It would take a squirrel out in front to get all eight to go the same direction
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:40:42 PM] <Evie> lol
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:40:43 PM] <The_Bee> Is it I-DIT-a-rod or I-di-TAR-od?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:40:53 PM] <Shiral> The squirrel commando has suffered a set back
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:41:12 PM] <Jerusha> He probably has armor
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:41:18 PM] <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:41:19 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:41:22 PM] <Aerlys>
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:41:34 PM] <Shiral> That would make it hard for the squirrel to climb, I'd think
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:41:55 PM] <Evie> Which thread was it that had the armored squirrel? I don't think KK has seen it yet, or have you?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:41:56 PM] <KK> Armor wouldn't have saved the one Warner caught. He started eating at the head. Crunch of little bones.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:42:02 PM] <DesertRose> Ouch.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:42:16 PM] <Shiral> Crunchy Squirrel, to paraphrase Monty Python
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:42:23 PM] <KK> I saw it. It's in the thread about the Littles.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:42:25 PM] <Laurna> Mine have caught little birds but not a squirrel
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:42:44 PM] <Evie> Oh, did you see the Littles' adventures at Chattacon?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:42:45 PM] <jemler> warner will have a fit if bullwinkle comes calling.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:42:51 PM] <Jerusha> At least Scorch spits them out on command
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:42:53 PM] <Shiral> Dmitri just watches the Bird and Squirrel Channel out my diningroom window
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:42:58 PM] <Aerlys> Your "Work in progress, Deryni Action figure" thread
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:43:03 PM] <KK> They double-teamed a possum, too. And have caught and eaten rabbits, chipmunks, occasional birds....
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:43:14 PM] <Evie> OK, I couldn't remember if it was in that thread or the fanfic thread
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:43:36 PM] <Evie> I tend to read from "Most Recent Posts" rather than one thread at a time
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:43:48 PM] <KK> Haven't looked at the fanfic thread.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:43:58 PM] <Aerlys> geez, fanfic with armed squirrels?\
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:03 PM] <Shiral> It's been quiescent, lately
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:13 PM] <Shiral> Except for one new story
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:15 PM] <Jerusha> Now that's a thought, Aerlys
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:22 PM] <Evie> we have a brand new forum member who jumped right in with a story written about grown up Albin and a restored Michaeline Order
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:28 PM] <Shiral> Alaric Morgan vs. the Rodent World
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:30 PM] <KK> I was in Fla for 10 days, a couple of weeks ago, caring for my dad and stepmom, and will have to go back in a week or so, once Daddy is home from rehab.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:36 PM] <Aerlys> Teymuraz's new secret weapon!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:50 PM] <Shiral> How do you avoid hitting below the belt if your opponent is a squirrel in armor?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:50 PM] <DesertRose> What part of Florida, KK?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:54 PM] <Jerusha> Is he doing well, KK?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:44:58 PM] <KK> Ft. Lauderdale.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:45:10 PM] <DesertRose> Ah. Well to the south of me.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:45:21 PM] <DesertRose> How are your dad and stepmom?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:45:23 PM] <KK> He's out of the hospital, but weak and pessimistic, and not sleeping well.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:45:28 PM] <DesertRose> Oh dear.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:45:32 PM] <Evie> at least it's a cooler time of year, so hopefully that will help a little bit
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:45:33 PM] <The_Bee> bummer
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:45:51 PM] <Jerusha> We'll hope for the best, KK
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:46:01 PM] <Laurna> I send best wishes for him to feel better
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:46:04 PM] <The_Bee> Do the college kids still come to Ft. Laudrdale for spring break?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:46:05 PM] <Shiral> Hopefully he'll be feeling better when you return
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:46:13 PM] <KK> It got up to 82 when I was there in late January. Whoda thunk? I'd only packed one short-sleeved shirt; had to go buy some cooler tops.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:46:15 PM] <jemler> btw, it's snowing here in ohio again. anybody want some?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:46:34 PM] <Shiral> I'd happily take it, Jemler but I'd sure need a big ice chest
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:46:35 PM] <Jerusha> No thanks, Jemler, I have LOTS
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:46:37 PM] <Laurna> Me
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:46:55 PM] * jemler throws a HUGE snowball at Laurna
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:47:01 PM] <KK> Well, he'll be 89 at the end of April, and my stepmother will be 85 at the end of May. Sadly, I think they're winding down.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:47:14 PM] <Laurna> Hey I just caught and Ice Planet
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:47:17 PM] <KK> We got 18 inches last week.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:47:17 PM] * Jerusha points the snowblower in Laurna's direction
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:47:47 PM] <KK> Bee, I have no idea.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:47:49 PM] <DesertRose> Aw, KK, I'm sorry to hear that.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:47:50 PM] <Shiral> Mortality--it gets us all eventually. But I hope your dad will at least be in better spirits soon
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:48:21 PM] <The_Bee> We've had several this year, but only one or two big ones. One more storm forecast, then a thaw.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:48:22 PM] <KK> So do I. They've been married for over 50 years, and miss one another terribly.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:48:46 PM] <Laurna> Congrats on 50 years. that is so rare these days
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:48:58 PM] <KK> Truly.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:49:42 PM] <Laurna> I finished the Half size dress. http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;pic=200
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:49:44 PM] <Shiral> Marrying the right person really ehlps
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:49:48 PM] <Shiral> helps
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:50:12 PM] <Evie> My dad joked that their 50th Anniversary cost him a lot more than the wedding did. They had a big party for the anniversary, but for their wedding, he just had to buy a ring and a suit.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:50:19 PM] <Shiral> My Dad and Stepmother have been together.... I think it will be 45 years as of this summer
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:50:36 PM] <Laurna> Back view here http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;pic=201
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:50:48 PM] <The_Bee> My folks just had the one marriage.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:50:58 PM] <Laurna> My grandparents made 65years
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:51:11 PM] <Jerusha> Wow, Laurna. That is beautiful!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:51:13 PM] <Evie> oooh, I look forward to seeing the pictures when I'm on a computer without an ad-spamming browser. *sigh*
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:51:16 PM] <The_Bee> My aunt and uncle had 67 years.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:51:35 PM] <Jerusha> That's a long time, Bee
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:51:51 PM] <The_Bee> They met when she was three and he was six.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:52:05 PM] <Aerlys> Wow, that's beautiful, Laurna.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:52:11 PM] <Jerusha> I'm assuming they married a bit later.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:52:16 PM] <KK> Laurna, tht's beautiful!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:52:43 PM] <Laurna> The gown is more romantic than authentic. but it is my vission of fun
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:52:58 PM] <Shiral> Lovely embroidery
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:53:13 PM] <Shiral> All it needs is a half-size queen
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:53:20 PM] <Laurna> Agreed
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:53:25 PM] <KK> Even in the SCA, I preferred romantic over absolutely accurate, though I did both.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:54:02 PM] <The_Bee> That is one magnificent gown!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:54:18 PM] <Evie> I'll have to find a photo of my friends newest Italian gown to share here. It's both absolutely authentic and drop-dead romantically gorgeous
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:54:40 PM] <Laurna> Thank you. I wish I could look as good in a dress my size but that is why I do doll cloths instead.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:54:57 PM] <Jerusha> As I sit here in sweatshirt and jeans
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:55:01 PM] <Evie> and a photographer friend took some photos of her wearing it in front of a period looking background that really sets it off
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:55:18 PM] <jemler> picture on fb. a prison cell captioned "what is the longest english sentence?" i do!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:55:19 PM] <Evie> doll clothes are also faster to complete, which helps.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:55:19 PM] <Laurna> Love to see it Evie
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:55:41 PM] <Shiral> Just a bit, Evie, until it wrecks your shoulder and arm. =o)
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:55:51 PM] <KK> Interestingly, I never did an Italianate. But I did the red Tudor of Princess Elizabeth, and two of the La Dame a la Licorne dresses.
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:55:51 PM] <Shiral> How did your MRI go, btw?
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:56:16 PM] <Evie> wow!
[Sunday, February 16, 2014] [07:56:30 PM] <The_Bee> The longest English word is "smiles." There's a mile between the beginning and the end.
