[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:05:53 PM] <DesertRose> That's what I'm trying to do. Hi KK!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:00 PM] <Jerusha> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:01 PM] <Evie> My man just brought me a big bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup and brownie chunks in it. Life is good!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:02 PM] <The_Bee> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:03 PM] <Laurna> Hello KK
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:06 PM] <DesertRose> Oh nice, Evie.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:07 PM] <KK> Wow, a crowd tonight.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:09 PM] <Evie> hi KK
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:28 PM] <Laurna> Oh that would goo really well with my strawberries
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:29 PM] <Jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:32 PM] <Jerusha> You are sharing, right Evie?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:37 PM] <The_Bee> How are your folks, KK?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:06:55 PM] * Evie puts the bowl by the monitor in case anyone else wants some.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:07:40 PM] <Laurna> hmmmm
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:07:48 PM] <KK> Mother is now fully moved into the cottage and loving it, and I have reports that my dad is now zipping around his house on his walker like a high school kid. So I'd say that everyone is doing well.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:07:58 PM] <DesertRose> Excellent.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:07:59 PM] <Evie> Oh good!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:08:04 PM] <Jerusha> Excellent, KK
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:08:07 PM] <Laurna> Wonderful
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:08:10 PM] <The_Bee> Yay!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:08:33 PM] <Jemler> good news
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:08:35 PM] <Jerusha> There's nothing like being home
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:09:21 PM] <KK> I'll know more Wednesday, since Scott and I are flying down Tuesday to pick up the new car, and will swing by to visit the pater afterward.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:09:30 PM] <DesertRose> New car?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:10:25 PM] <KK> Bought a secondhand Jaguar that I inspected when I was down in January. In the meantime, we sold another car, which enabled us to afford it.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:10:35 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, nice.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:10:40 PM] <The_Bee> cool!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:10:44 PM] <Jerusha> I suppose not an XK - E type?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:10:47 PM] <Evie> cool!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:12:10 PM] <KK> No, XJ-S convertible--British racing green with tan interior. Nice car.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:12:19 PM] <Jerusha> Very nice
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:12:40 PM] <DesertRose> Oh pretty.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:12:41 PM] <Evie> Sounds nice.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:12:41 PM] <Laurna> Nice color
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:12:48 PM] * The_Bee tries to picture KK as a race-car driver.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:13:04 PM] <Evie> Excuse the relative silence from my corner as I attempt to keep two kittehs from planting their faces in my ice cream bowl.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:13:12 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:13:38 PM] * Jerusha tries to picture mini-Rhys with the wind blowing through his curls
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:13:40 PM] <KK> It isn't a racing car; that's just its color. But then we get to drive it home, after swinging down to Key West for a couple of days. I want to see the polydactyl Hemingway cats.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:13:49 PM] <DesertRose>
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:13:51 PM] <The_Bee> Tell them to keep out of the chocolate sauce.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:14:14 PM] <Jerusha> That sounds like a nice trip, KK
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:14:14 PM] <Evie> DD did a paper on Hemingway last year, and had a section in her paper about the cats
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:15:43 PM] <KK> Yep, there;s apparently still a colony of them that live in the grounds of his former house. In any case, Key West should be fun. I was there as a toddler, but obviously don't remember it. We have pictures of mothballed submarines tied up along the causeway, from that trip.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:16:37 PM] <The_Bee> Have they gone feral?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:17:03 PM] <The_Bee> the cats, not the submarines
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:17:15 PM] <Laurna> I always thought it would be fun to drive that long bridge to Key West.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:17:21 PM] <Evie> I have some new trim in autumn colors that should coordinate pretty well with Mini-Rhys' outfit without being too "matchy" with the tunic trim. I'm hoping to find a small buckle to make a belt with it.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:17:45 PM] <KK> I don't think so. They live there and are part of the attraction. I'm sure tourists feed them and pet them.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:17:59 PM] <Evie> and I have some ideas on how to make the healer's pouch, but I'm still researching what needs to go into it
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:18:31 PM] <Laurna> Lots of tiny bottles
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:18:44 PM] <Jerusha> Prescription parchment
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:18:49 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:18:59 PM] <Jemler> a few leaves of unknown type.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:19:06 PM] <Laurna> Most of his patients could not read
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:19:22 PM] <Jerusha> Can anyone read a healer's prescription?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:19:30 PM] <Jemler> but the local apothecary would
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:19:43 PM] <Laurna> nope:
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:20:04 PM] <Jemler> evie, did you see my selfie on fb?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:21:36 PM] <Evie> no
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:21:50 PM] <Evie> I'm mostly on Google+ these days and only check FB occasionally
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:21:53 PM] <KK> Sounds good, Evie.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:22:28 PM] <Jerusha> How is the shoulder, Evie?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:22:43 PM] <Jemler> i'm holding up a baggie of pink and white pills. the captior reads: you guys wish! it's Good & Plenty!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:23:13 PM] <Evie> I found a photo of something physicians used to wear hanging from their belts, which looked like a little healer's booklet, only instead of being in book form, it was like mini-tablets on a ring or something.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:23:36 PM] <Evie> it's a lot better than it was, Jerusha. Still achy right at the shoulder itself, but my arm and hand are fine now
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:23:47 PM] <Jerusha> That's good, Evie
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:23:55 PM] <Laurna> that is good to hear
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:23:59 PM] <The_Bee> yes, good news
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:24:33 PM] <Laurna> Now you can sit for long hours and type away. right?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:24:34 PM] <DesertRose> Good to hear, Evie.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:24:39 PM] <KK> Maybe "recipes" for prescription compounds?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:24:58 PM] <Evie> http://www.haliburtonnews.ca/2013/03/07/book-as-mobile-device-no-really-a-medieval-almanac-that-attached-to-your-belt/
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:25:04 PM] <Evie> There...photos
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:25:54 PM] Join Aerlys has joined this channel (Mibbit@OWIRCN-54e2dc69.tukw.qwest.net).
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:25:57 PM] <The_Bee> how large and how heavy, do you know?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:26:06 PM] <DesertRose> HI Aerlys.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:26:06 PM] <Evie> I haven't worked out how to make one yet, but I thought it was pretty cool.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:26:07 PM] <Laurna> That is cool, the pages open up for full parchement
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:26:14 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Aerlys
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:26:21 PM] <Jemler> hi aerlys
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:26:23 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Aerlys
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:26:26 PM] <Evie> It looks fairly small and lightweight. Small enough to fit in the hand, but the pages unfold to a larger size
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:26:28 PM] <Laurna> Hello Aerlys
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:26:30 PM] <Evie> hi Aerlys
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:26:47 PM] <Aerlys> I'm on my tablet the computer won't let me into mibbit
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:27:26 PM] <Aerlys> Can't seem to connect to chat at all on my computer
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:27:32 PM] <KK> Nifty device, and it makes perfect sense, given the state of technology at the time.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:27:52 PM] <The_Bee> My mIRC was removed when my PC was repaired.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:27:55 PM] <Evie> Sort of like a medieval PDA
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:27:57 PM] <Laurna> A small libreary on your belt
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:29:16 PM] <Laurna> library
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:29:20 PM] <Evie> If I can work out how to make something like that in a miniature scale, that would be cool. But if not, at least I think I know of another way to do something similar. You know those rings that hold paint chip samples together, or samples of laminate? A design like that might have some information scripted on the tiny pages or tablets
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:29:23 PM] <Aerlys> Ever since bynw change the settings I've had trouble getting onto chat
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:29:46 PM] <Evie> Or if nothing else, I could do a miniature wax tablet diptych and stylus
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:29:52 PM] <DesertRose> I'm sorry, Aerlys. I'll fuss at him if you need me to.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:30:01 PM] <KK> That would be useful.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:30:36 PM] <Laurna> Aerlys I have the same trouble, last week it would not let me out of mibbit without clossing the whole computer down
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:30:40 PM] <Evie> It might not be a functional one, though. Depends on if I have to do it as a printie or if I can actually make a miniature one.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:30:45 PM] <Aerlys> thanks DR.maybe mibbit hates macs now
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:30:54 PM] * Jerusha thinks of diagnosis by paint chip colour coded to the humour out of whack
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:31:09 PM] <Evie> urine color paint chips....LOL!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:31:10 PM] <DesertRose> No idea.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:31:16 PM] <DesertRose> Ew.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:31:21 PM] <Jerusha> Ick
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:31:25 PM] <Evie> "My lord, I think you're pregnant. No, wait, that can't be right."
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:31:39 PM] <DesertRose> ROFL
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:31:40 PM] <Evie> "Let me move into better light."
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:31:52 PM] <Laurna> Evie get some nice thick parchemtn copy that picture and then shrik it and print it on the quality paper
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:32:03 PM] <Jerusha> "Leave a sample here for comparison"
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:32:12 PM] <Laurna> Then fold the paper
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:32:51 PM] <Evie> I could do that if I copy/paste several pages of the paper to make it. It would take a very close inspection to tell it's all the same page.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:33:09 PM] <Evie> Or maybe I could find some medieval herbal pages for some of the other ones
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:33:14 PM] <Evie> or anatomical charts
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:33:23 PM] <The_Bee> Write it with a quill pen.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:33:33 PM] <Evie> there are scads of those. I have some on my hard drive for a book I was planning for the Schola Infirmarium
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:33:47 PM] <Evie> I made a tiny quill pen and ink pot for Evaine
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:33:57 PM] <Laurna> That would work do you have a color printer
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:34:02 PM] <Evie> I do at work.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:34:08 PM] <Evie> and parchment paper too
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:34:19 PM] <Jerusha> Cool
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:34:43 PM] <Evie> although when printing a photo of something that is already on parchment, it works best to use regular white paper
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:34:48 PM] <Aerlys> That reminds me I need to make two tiny torches for my daughters miniature catacombs
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:34:52 PM] <Evie> I have some heavy white that would work.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:35:02 PM] <Laurna> How about those whole protectors that you stick on to keep the paper from ripping a the ring.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:35:09 PM] <Evie> I could just lightly tea-stain the back of the paper
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:35:14 PM] <Jerusha> Working torches, Aerlys?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:35:29 PM] <The_Bee> Aerlys: catacombs?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:35:32 PM] <Evie> otherwise the parchment image printed on the front of the parchment paper ends up making it look twice as dark as the back of the paper
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:36:02 PM] <Aerlys> If they worked I think they might burn the rest of her display down:(
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:36:35 PM] <Evie> What size is the diorama, Aerlys? I think LEGO makes torches for their medieval sets, and so do Playmobil and...what's the other? Imaginarium or something like that?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:36:48 PM] <Laurna> Electic tea lights look like small flickering torches.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:36:56 PM] <Aerlys> Her report is on the catacombs. She is making a display to go with it
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:37:45 PM] <Jemler> Evie, check this: http://www.azeri.org/Azeri/az_latin/manuscripts/folk_medicine/english/124_farid_folk_medicine.html
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:37:57 PM] <Aerlys> Leggo would be too small but I thought about using something with the electric tea lights
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:38:01 PM] <Evie> I'm using an electric tea light as the light source for a campfire, though it's going to be surrounded by a circle of rocks, covered with soil and gravel, and the plastic flame will probably be covered with yellow and orange cellophane flames so the light will flicker nicely through them
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:38:13 PM] <Evie> that's one of the projects on the back burner, to do when I get around to it
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:38:30 PM] <Evie> But it's more pressing now that I've got a small black iron cauldron for a camp cookpot.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:38:34 PM] <Aerlys> This thing is due tomorrow so I will have to make do with what's at home
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:39:21 PM] <Jerusha> Somehow they are always due "tomorrow"
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:39:31 PM] <Evie> A small LED flashlight with the LED painted with red or orange sharpie could work if you hide the flashlight body in a bundle of thin twigs to make the torch.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:40:08 PM] <Aerlys> The torch needs to be about an inch and a half long
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:40:53 PM] <Evie> Tiny LED flashlights do come in that size, but probably not something you have on hand
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:40:54 PM] <The_Bee> too bad you don't dare use a lighted match.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:41:11 PM] <Aerlys> lol
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:41:18 PM] <Jerusha> Short birthday candle could work - unlit of course
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:41:38 PM] <The_Bee> or an unlit wooden match
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:41:38 PM] <Evie> If you could figure out a way to attach an LED to a small battery that size, it could be disguised as a torch.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:41:48 PM] <Aerlys> I'd have to color it black or brown
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:42:03 PM] <Evie> A wooden match with orange and yellow crepe paper flames glued to one end
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:42:27 PM] <Aerlys> The skeletons are 6 inches tall so I would need to use those as a guide
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:42:28 PM] <Evie> or even a bundle of very thin twigs (or dried grass) for the torch part
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:42:55 PM] <Aerlys> If I can ever get my camera working again I'll take a picture when it's done
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:42:56 PM] <Evie> even a bundle of painted or stained toothpicks would work for the torch part
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:43:10 PM] <Laurna> a short strand of christmas lights with red celiphane
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:43:13 PM] <Evie> and then make your flames out of crepe paper if you have any. Or tissue paper
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:43:46 PM] <Aerlys> . We've been working on the displays since yesterday so I'm taking a break
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:44:09 PM] <Evie> Stick a Red Hot candy at the end of a bundle of toothpicks. If the teacher asks, say "Be careful of that torch end; it's red hot!"
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:44:10 PM] <DesertRose> Chat break.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:44:19 PM] * DesertRose throws a koi at Evie.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:44:23 PM] <Aerlys> lol
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:44:32 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:44:33 PM] <Jerusha>
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:44:45 PM] <Evie> Was it something I said?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:44:56 PM] <DesertRose> Bad wordplay. ;P
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:45:16 PM] <Aerlys> Says Oedy Azer Halo balances precariously on her two horns
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:45:35 PM] <Evie> Stuff the point of a candy corn kernel into the hollow center of a short bit of black licorice. Tell your DD it's an edible torch.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:45:48 PM] <Aerlys> I sorry this thing has voice recording and it posted before I could edit it
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:46:01 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:46:08 PM] <Evie>
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:46:42 PM] <Aerlys> should say "says evie as her halo is balanced precariously on her two horns
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:47:07 PM] <Evie> I get called Evil sometimes, but this is the first time I've been called Oedy!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:47:15 PM] <Jerusha> Or two licorice torches
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:47:32 PM] <Jemler> Evil Evie Oedy!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:47:44 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:47:55 PM] <DesertRose>
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:47:58 PM] <Aerlys> I wonder if the dragon software is this bad
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:48:14 PM] <Evie> depends on if you train your dragon well or not
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:48:19 PM] <Jemler> only if you speak Valyrian
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:48:21 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:48:26 PM] <KK> How do you like the Dragon system?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:48:33 PM] <Aerlys> But voice recording sure beats trying to type on the tiny little keyboard
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:48:34 PM] * DesertRose sends Aerlys a copy of How To Train Your Dragon.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:49:09 PM] * Jerusha tells her dragon to sit, then re-warm her tea
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:49:19 PM] <DesertRose>
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:49:19 PM] <Aerlys> This isn't Dragon this is something that comes already installed on the Kindle
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:49:49 PM] <Evie> you have a Kindle with voice recognition? Which one is that, the newer Kindle Fire?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:50:12 PM] <Aerlys> The new Kindle fire HDX
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:50:26 PM] <Jerusha> Nice
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:50:39 PM] <KK> Interesting. Then, Kindles are slowly turning into full-fledged computers, aren't they?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:50:55 PM] <Aerlys> I'm learning to like it:D
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:51:21 PM] <The_Bee> I'm just glad to have my big screen back.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:51:42 PM] <Aerlys> It does not have a word processing app on it though I haven't looked to see if there is one available
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:51:42 PM] <Evie> cool! though when my Eee finally dies, I think I'll still need to replace it with something Windows compatible, since my writing software requires it
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:52:01 PM] <Laurna> If they made it waterproof you could write whole chapters while in the car or hmm in the shower. :O
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:52:37 PM] <Jerusha> Grease pencil on shower curtain also works
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:52:45 PM] <Evie> I ended up getting a Kindle Touch as they were being phased out to be replaced by the Kindle Paperwhite. I looked at the Fire at that time, but I wanted a paper-like screen, not a glossy tablet screen. If only they made a non-glare color ebook reader, I'd love that!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:52:47 PM] <Aerlys> I drive a Van not a convertible in the rain
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:53:18 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:53:34 PM] <Aerlys> the glare doesn't really bother me
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:53:52 PM] <Laurna> Did not want jemler getting after me for only mentioning the shower
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:53:59 PM] <Evie> I considered getting an Android tablet, since I love my Android smartphone and some of the apps on it could be used on a tablet and be much easier to use with a larger screen, but even though there are scaled down word processor apps for tablets, Scrivener isn't tablet compatible yet.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:54:11 PM] <Evie> and it doubt it ever would be since it has so many features
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:54:32 PM] <Aerlys> I'm an Apple person myself but I can't afford iPad right now
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:54:35 PM] <Laurna> I just got a Dell XPS 11 I so love it.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:55:04 PM] <Jemler> bad news folks.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:55:11 PM] <Jerusha>
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:55:12 PM] <Evie> I tend to read for long hours at a time, after working at a computer screen all day long (and sometimes in the evenings as well), so a non-glare reading surface for my recreational reading is mandatory
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:55:21 PM] <Laurna> DONT say it Jemler
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:55:42 PM] <Aerlys> brb
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:55:46 PM] * Jemler thinks REALLY hard "Once Upon a Time"
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:55:54 PM] <Laurna> It is still 5 miniutes away
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:55:58 PM] <Evie> Evie smacks jemler upside the head with a mackerel
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:55:59 PM] <Jerusha> Now you've done it!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:56:00 PM] <Jemler> i didn't say it
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:56:11 PM] <Jerusha> You Thought it!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:56:20 PM] <Laurna> In Deryni terms Yes YOU DID
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:56:25 PM] <KK> Yeah, but I've been paying attention to the time.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:56:43 PM] <Jemler> i'm still going fishing
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:56:49 PM] <KK> Nearly have my chapter headings finished for the book. Gotta get them out of here before we leave on Tuesday.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:56:58 PM] <DesertRose> YAY!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:57:01 PM] <Evie> yay!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:57:05 PM] <Jerusha> Excellent!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:57:10 PM] <Laurna> YES!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:57:14 PM] <The_Bee> KK, now that your folks are okay, are you sufficiently recovered to think about your next book?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:57:16 PM] <Evie> When was the release date again? This winter?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:57:23 PM] <KK> It will be good to get away for a few days.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:57:32 PM] <Jerusha> Key West will be great
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:57:53 PM] <Evie> My DD is enjoying Spring Break at the beach this weekend.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:57:57 PM] <Evie> Pensacola Beach
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:58:01 PM] <DesertRose> Fun.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:58:05 PM] <KK> December, they say. And when I review the copy-edited version, it will be via computer, with Word tracking changes. Challenging, I suppose, until I get used to it.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:58:14 PM] <Jemler> spring break from what?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:58:31 PM] <KK> Maybe on this trip, Bee.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:58:37 PM] <Jerusha> When will you start getting the copy-edited version?
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:58:46 PM] <The_Bee> winter. We may have northeaster this week.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:58:50 PM] <Evie> How nice of you to arrange for your book to be out in time for my birthday! ;-)
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:59:05 PM] <The_Bee> or maybe Christmas
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:59:22 PM] <Jerusha> Best Christmas present ever
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:59:43 PM] <Evie> Oh, I do most of my editing via Word's comment feature. It's really easy, KK. Let me know if you need help figuring it out, but I'm sure you'l figure it out quickly
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:59:47 PM] <KK> In a couple of months, I think, Jerusha. It hasn't gone to copy-edit yet.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [07:59:48 PM] <Laurna> There is my Birthday That would be even better
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [08:00:11 PM] <KK> OK, see you guys in a couple of weeks.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [08:00:17 PM] <Jemler> my birthday would be best. it's tuesday!
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [08:00:18 PM] <Jerusha> To be a fly on the wall!

[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [08:01:12 PM] * KK leaps onto her Portal with a wave goodbye and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, March 23, 2014] [08:01:20 PM] <DesertRose> Happy birthday, Bee and jemler.
