[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:04:06 PM] <Jemler> hi bee, kk
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:04:07 PM] <Annie> I've got something else out on subs now, but more in hope than expectation

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:04:31 PM] <Aerlys> Hi Bee!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:04:47 PM] <Annie> yes, Aerlys. I'm pretty chuffed with that. :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:04:51 PM] <KK> Annie, I haven't forgotten your book. It's nearing the top of the To Be Read pile!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:04:57 PM] <bynw> Hiyas KK
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:04:58 PM] <Annie> no probs, KK

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:05:11 PM] <The_Bee> Hi DomM
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:05:13 PM] <Annie> I was just having a little brag about an anthology I'm in
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:05:13 PM] <DesertRose> Hi DomMelchior.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:05:16 PM] <Shiral> Hello Dom
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:05:27 PM] <DomMelchior> Good Afternoon, everyone

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:05:28 PM] <Aerlys> chuffed...all I can think of os Thomas the Tank Engine :) But I understand.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:05:39 PM] <Aerlys> Hey, DM
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:05:43 PM] <Annie> chuffed is sort of quietly satisfied
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:06:15 PM] <Aerlys> I know, but I still have a couple of Thomas fans here.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:06:31 PM] <Evie> :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:06:35 PM] <Annie> mine was a big fan of Henry
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:06:40 PM] <Annie> and I liked Edward
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:06:59 PM] <Aerlys> Don't forget Percy!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:07:29 PM] <KK> I'd always thought chuffed was a bit more exuberant than that, but I can live with Quietly Satisfied. :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:07:55 PM] <Annie> yes, maybe a little more exuberant, but not much.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:08:04 PM] <DesertRose> So how's things, KK?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:08:05 PM] <Annie> we're reserved folk, us Brits. ;)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:08:15 PM] * Sarah will see everyone at a later date *hugs*
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:08:22 PM] <DesertRose> Bye, Sarah!

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:08:50 PM] <Annie> Brits used to be good at self-deprecation, but we're not even much good at that anymore. ;)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:08:58 PM] <DesertRose> ROFL
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:09:02 PM] <Aerlys> LOL!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:09:08 PM] <KK> All is well. Looks like we may be getting an option on the first Adept book, for a SyFy movie.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:09:11 PM] <Evie> :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:09:16 PM] <Annie> oh cool!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:09:17 PM] <Aerlys> ooh!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:09:18 PM] <DesertRose> Oh cool!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:09:23 PM] <bynw> that's cool
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:09:28 PM] <The_Bee> Zowie!

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:09:46 PM] <DomMelchior> excellent news KK
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:09:47 PM] <Shiral> Most cool!

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:10:34 PM] <Evie> Nice!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:11:06 PM] <The_Bee> TV or big Screen?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:11:21 PM] <KK> TV, SyFy channel.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:11:40 PM] <KK> There's also some interest in Legacy of Lehr. We shall see.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:11:58 PM] <DesertRose> Cool!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:12:04 PM] <bynw> that's cool too
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:12:15 PM] <Aerlys> ooh again
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:12:16 PM] * bynw would like to see more in that universe
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:12:39 PM] <Laurna> Awsome
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:12:46 PM] <Jemler> e
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:12:47 PM] * Aerlys thinks Bynw is reading her miind
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:12:51 PM] <bynw> i'd even like to see two crowns made into a movie that would be cool too

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:13:04 PM] <Jemler> hi cm
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:13:08 PM] <Shiral> Hi CM
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:13:09 PM] <Aerlys> Hi, CM!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:13:16 PM] <DomMelchior> Greetings, CM
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:13:22 PM] <cynicalmedic> Evening, all. How are things?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:13:25 PM] * bynw might be reading Aerlys's mind
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:13:38 PM] <Evie> hi
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:13:45 PM] <The_Bee> oh, good!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:13:55 PM] <Shiral> They'd have to choose somebody very cool to play Adam Sinclair...
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:13:58 PM] * bynw is doing fantastic since he has a sunday night off and just had the youngest graduate from HS
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:14:13 PM] <Evie> Yay!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:14:20 PM] <DesertRose> YAY!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:14:25 PM] <DesertRose> And yes, I agree, Shiral.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:14:30 PM] <cynicalmedic> Play Adam Sinclair?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:14:36 PM] <Evie> If you could choose the casting for Adam, KK, who would you pick?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:14:49 PM] <Shiral> Oh dear, What have I done?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:14:50 PM] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:14:51 PM] * Aerlys reflects it'll be a rather short read, typed in Wingdings, followed by a series of blank pages...
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:14:51 PM] <bynw> 18:08 < KK> All is well. Looks like we may be getting an option on the first Adept book, for a SyFy movie.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:15:33 PM] <KK> Not sure.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:15:39 PM] <cynicalmedic> Wow! That's fantastic! I love the Adept novels.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:15:54 PM] <The_Bee> Hi, CM
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:16:02 PM] <Shiral> Francis Raeburn makes an admirable villain...
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:16:25 PM] <DomMelchior> It seems as though SyFy keeps a stable of inhouse actors that they recurculate through their various productions.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:16:40 PM] <Aerlys> Of course, I'll have to wait for it to come out in digital format before I could see it, but that's OK
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:16:41 PM] <Evie> I don't get satellite/cable channels, so I'll have to hope Netflix gets it eventually. *sigh* Unless SyFy shows are available online without a cable/satellite subscription?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:17:17 PM] <Aerlys> No idea
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:17:22 PM] <cynicalmedic> I know they used to put full episodes on their website, but I haven't visited it in a while.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:17:46 PM] <Annie> I'd have to hope it was picked up over here
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:18:18 PM] <cynicalmedic> Hi Bee! How are you?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:18:26 PM] <KK> (Congrats, Bynw.)

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:19:45 PM] <The_Bee> I bet Special Effects could do some fantastic stuff with peregrin's paintings
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:19:45 PM] <bynw> thanks KK, empty nest here i come :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:19:49 PM] <cynicalmedic> Yes, good news on the graduation.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:19:51 PM] <Aerlys> Hi Jerusha

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:19:55 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, bynw.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:20:02 PM] <Laurna> In a made for TV film, how much say does the author get in how the stroy is told?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:20:02 PM] <cynicalmedic> Hi, Jerusha.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:20:04 PM] <Annie> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:20:07 PM] <Shiral> Congrats to the graduate
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:20:22 PM] <Jerusha> Ditto
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:20:57 PM] <The_Bee> yes, congrats
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:21:07 PM] <DesertRose> BRB, got to check on laundry.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:21:27 PM] <KK> You don't get much control, once you sell the rights. But hopefully, they'd want me involved.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:21:31 PM] <Evie> checking on Ailidh's hair again
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:21:37 PM] <Shiral> Don't count on your empty nest too soon, Bynw. Brutal job market out there. Fledgelings sometimes do a U-turn
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:21:42 PM] <Laurna> That would be fantastic KK
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:21:42 PM] <Jerusha> You sold rights for something, KK?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:21:54 PM] <bynw> Shiral: he's going to college first
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:22:04 PM] <Shiral> Ah, true
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:22:08 PM] <Jerusha> And they U-turn more than once
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:22:27 PM] <Shiral> Is Ailidh's hair off doing something naughty, Evie?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:22:45 PM] <Evie> LOL! No, I just boil permed it a short bit before chat started
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:23:06 PM] <Jerusha> Poor Ailidh!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:23:16 PM] <Evie> She's none the worse for wear.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:23:17 PM] <Aerlys> Evie's Salon Purgatoria
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:23:22 PM] <Evie> lol
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:23:29 PM] <Shiral> Ah, an update from the Doll head on stakes Salon
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:23:29 PM] <Laurna> I saw the wrapped straws. At least they did not melt in the boiling water.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:24:07 PM] <Jerusha> I seem to remember someone being boiled to death on The Tudors
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:24:11 PM] <Evie> No, it's not that hot. I mean, yes, it's boiling, but I take the water out of the microwave as soon as it comes to a rolling boil, so it's actually in the cooling down process while the head soaks.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:24:20 PM] <Evie> Eww
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:24:34 PM] <Jerusha> I'm sure Ailidh feels much better
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:24:45 PM] <Shiral> Unfortunately, humans can find inventive ways to hurt each other.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:24:49 PM] <KK> We presently have options on Lammas Night, and pending on Adept. Deryni may reignite, but I'd get more money.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:24:51 PM] <Jerusha> Only parboiled
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:25:01 PM] <Kelric> nice
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:25:04 PM] <Evie> I hope Deryni reignites.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:25:07 PM] <cynicalmedic> Yes, they can.:(
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:25:15 PM] <Jerusha> We'll hope for the best, KK
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:25:20 PM] <Shiral> I hope DR the movie Reignites, too
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:25:22 PM] <KK> I saw the curlers, Evie. Glad to know that you're back in business!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:25:27 PM] <Evie> Well, maybe I'd use a different verb there, given the propensity for burning Deryni on stakes.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:25:40 PM] <Laurna> With the new book coming out. I look forward the reignition.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:25:52 PM] <Evie> I'm taking two weeks of vacation time next month, KK, so hopefully I can get Rhys and Evaine finished and in the mail to you.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:25:55 PM] <Kelric> that would be toasty
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:26:05 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, back
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:26:14 PM] <Aerlys> Oh, DS2 spent three days at a blacksmithing conference, and someone has talked him into checking out the SCA!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:26:15 PM] <Shiral> We're pretty sure you're not actually Edmund Loris, Evie.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:26:21 PM] <DomMelchior> Welcome back DR
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:26:23 PM] <KK> They'll be welcome, Evie. :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:26:24 PM] <Kelric> you're making me want to read the adept books again
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:26:25 PM] <Evie> My folks will be in town, but even so, I usually have MUCH more free time when I don't have to go to work daily, even with houseguests present.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:27:11 PM] <Evie> Cool, Aerlys! Hopefully you've got a good local group there. Our local groups here are welcoming to new members, but every group is different.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:27:56 PM] <Evie> If I'm Loris, Shiral, my episcopal wardrobe is sorely lacking
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:28:14 PM] <Aerlys> I've heard it is pretty good, and the blacksmithing community out here is pretty tight knit, so I'd be willing to bet they'd welcome a new, young member
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:28:29 PM] <Jerusha> Sounds good, Aerlys

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:28:56 PM] <Aerlys> I had eanted to join when I was younger, but for various reasons, was never able to do it
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:28:58 PM] <Evie> Probably so. Usually the traditional crafters are eager to get new blood in, with fewer young people taking an interest nowadays.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:29:26 PM] <Jerusha> Everytime I mention joining the SCA, DH reminds me I hate camping
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:29:30 PM] <Jemler> same here aerlys.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:29:33 PM] <Shiral> You can't be Loris anyway, Evie. You're way too fond of Duncan for that

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:10 PM] <Laurna> Good detail Shiral.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:12 PM] <Evie> Depending on what Kingdom you're in, events aren't necessarily camping events. Or even when they are, they aren't always tenting events.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:19 PM] <Shiral> Hi DF
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:24 PM] <DF64> 12hi all
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:24 PM] * Aerlys smacks Mibbit for dumping Bee
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:26 PM] <Evie> We have several campgrounds with cabins here in our kingdom
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:28 PM] <cynicalmedic> Hi DF
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:29 PM] <Jemler> hi df
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:31 PM] <Aerlys> Hey, DF
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:32 PM] <DomMelchior> Hi DF
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:40 PM] <Jerusha> Hi DF
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:49 PM] <Jerusha> I haven't given up yet, Evie
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:30:53 PM] <Evie> and some people daytrip to the events and sleep in a hotel
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:31:01 PM] <Evie> or go home at night if it's close enough
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:31:30 PM] <KK> And there are usually lots of one-day events that don't require camping. At least that's the way it was in Caid in the old days.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:31:43 PM] <Jerusha> There should be a Deryni "yes dear" spell that should help :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:31:51 PM] <Evie> Yes, our shire hosts a one-day event every winter
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:32:06 PM] <Annie> the (few) events I did, I either went home at night, or stayed in a cheapish hotel nearby
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:32:30 PM] <Annie> I have spent one night in a tent in my life, and don't intend to increase that
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:32:35 PM] <Evie> lol
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:32:48 PM] <Aerlys> Well, DS is 16, so he's pretty adventurous. He's used to camping when he goes hunting
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:33:18 PM] <Aerlys> I don't mind camping, I just HATE being cold.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:33:22 PM] <Evie> actually, sleeping in a medieval style pavilion can be a lot more luxurious than sleeping in a modern tent. you've got room to stand up, for one thing, and also many people bring a medieval style bed rather than a sleeping bag.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:33:39 PM] <DomMelchior> Annie, repeat after me: "Roughing it involves at least staying at the Hilton"
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:33:39 PM] <Jerusha> A bed sounds good
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:33:54 PM] <Jerusha> Yes, DM, you have it right!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:34:10 PM] <Annie> DomMelchior, if it doesn't have coffee making facilities and wifi, I'm out. ;)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:34:15 PM] <Aerlys> heck, camping is a lot cleaner than some hotels I've been in!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:34:20 PM] <DF64> 12at a hotel with no less than 3 stars
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:34:24 PM] <Laurna> Used to put the queen size matress inthe back of the pickup and a tent over that.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:34:26 PM] <Evie> Come to Meridies then, Aerlys. We'll send you camping in July or August. Trust me, you won't be cold. You may DREAM of cold. :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:34:29 PM] <KK> According to my DH, roughing it involves a hotel that doesn't have room service after midnight.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:34:44 PM] <Annie> he sounds like a man after my own heart!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:34:49 PM] <Evie> lol, KK!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:34:50 PM] <Jerusha> You DH has it right, KK
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:35:30 PM] <KK> Mind you, he has done his share of true roughing it, when he used to do cavalry reenactments. And of course, he was in the Army.

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:38:57 PM] <cynicalmedic> I've never volunteered for this event, but a friend of my nephew's sucked me into it.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:39:00 PM] <Jerusha> Do you have to go in period costume, CM?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:39:39 PM] <cynicalmedic> Yes, blast it. Costumes are not my thing - the ladies costumes are not made for someone my height.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:39:40 PM] <KK> Absolutely. And they're even more exacting than the costume Nazis in the SCA.

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:40:21 PM] <DF64> 12PIZZA!!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:40:33 PM] <cynicalmedic> I may do a Malinda Blalock imitation.

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:40:48 PM] <DomMelchior> Aerlys, if it's still making noise then you should really cook it a little longer.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:41:08 PM] <Jerusha> I don
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:41:08 PM] <cynicalmedic> She disguised herself as a man to follow her husband to war.

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:41:41 PM] <Jemler> she thought the war was called just so he could cheat on her?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:41:47 PM] <KK> A fair number of women play men. Jasta used to do a Confederate cavalry guy.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:42:42 PM] <KK> Can you show us a pic, Evie?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:42:42 PM] <The_Bee> It's harder to do a gender disguise today. Back then, they just assumed if you were wearing trousers you were male.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:43:02 PM] <Jemler> kk, do you see how that last statement looked?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:43:12 PM] <Laurna> Trouble is male reinactors are usually more exacting in their costums than the ladies.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:43:23 PM] <KK> ? Jemler?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:43:31 PM] <cynicalmedic> Not at all. She and he had a plan to leave and return to their farm, Her husband was conscripted, and she thought that was unfair.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:44:04 PM] <Jemler> she used to do a confederate? sounds like she dated someone during the civil war!

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:46:42 PM] <Jerusha> I did that to a chicken breast once - instead of pounding it until it was thin, I pounded it into oblivion
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [07:47:12 PM] <DesertRose> Well, I suppose it was well and truly tenderized, Jerusha.

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:04:17 PM] <KK> I'm back.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:04:25 PM] <DomMelchior> ReHi KK
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:04:25 PM] <DesertRose> WB, KK.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:04:33 PM] <Jerusha> wb, KK
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:04:41 PM] <The_Bee> Is all well, KK?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:04:51 PM] <Evie> Oh well, a bit of wild hair is in character for a Border lass, hopefully. :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:04:59 PM] <Shiral> Or was your supper in need of attention? =o)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:05:15 PM] <KK> Cats' supper was in need of attention.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:05:19 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:05:26 PM] <KK> And then I forgot to say I was back, at first.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:05:33 PM] <Shiral> Ah yes. Cats have ways of letting us know when they're hungry
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:05:51 PM] <KK> Yes, and there were two.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:05:56 PM] <DesertRose> There is no snooze button on a cat who wants food.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:06:08 PM] <Shiral> Food food food! Now Now Now!"
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:06:15 PM] <DomMelchior> Or a dog
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:06:19 PM] <The_Bee> So you put food down, and they look at you and say "do I have to eat THAT?"
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:06:23 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:06:45 PM] <Jerusha> Mine are more apt to say, "more?"
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:06:48 PM] <KK> Evie, I was thinking that about wild hair. Right now, reminds me of some of the wild wigs that have become the fashion for many little Irish dancer girls.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:07:18 PM] <Evie> LOL! I just tried finger picking through the curls, and you think Rhys had wild hair before I hair sprayed it? Yeesh! :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:07:21 PM] <KK> Some of them look almost like red afros.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:07:35 PM] <Evie> Oh well, if it doesn't tame down, I can always stick her under a warm water shower and try again
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:07:35 PM] <DesertRose> Oh boy.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:07:54 PM] <Jerusha> Poor Ailidh!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:07:56 PM] <KK> But this gal doesn't have mohair, does she? Very different from Rhys.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:08:30 PM] <Evie> no, she's got regular Barbie hair, but Mattel uses different types of hair on different dolls, and some tend to frizz during boil perming. I think she's a frizzer.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:09:51 PM] <KK> She's a cutie, though, with her red hair and freckles. Was she intended as a specific character in her pre-Deryni life?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:10:10 PM] <Evie> Barbie's friend Midge
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:10:33 PM] <Evie> and I bought her especially for that flaming hair and the freckles
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:10:48 PM] <KK> Ah. Never having been a Barbie person, I'm not that familiar with the characters, but I do recognize that name.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:10:51 PM] <Evie> there are several versions of Midge on offer, but this one also had green eyes, which I wanted
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:11:06 PM] <Aerlys> I have a pregnant Midge doll
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:11:10 PM] <Laurna> Ideal for Aliidh
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:11:18 PM] <Jerusha> Seriously, Aerlys?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:11:33 PM] <KK> Evie, have you shown any of your characters pregnant?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:11:45 PM] <Laurna> That is wrong Aerlys, aren't Midge dolls teenagers
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:11:48 PM] <KK> Any of the Littles, that is.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:12:00 PM] <The_Bee> Has Ken been cheating on Barbie?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:12:01 PM] <Jerusha> Only Sextus. :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:12:01 PM] <Evie> Only Denis. ;-) (I was making a fat suit for someone's Friar Tuck and used him to fit it.)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:12:22 PM] <Evie> Happy Family Midge is married to Alan, IIRC
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:12:44 PM] <Evie> and in that series, the Barbie friends were supposed to be in their 20s
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:12:46 PM] Quit DF64 has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:13:05 PM] <Jerusha> That was after my time, I think
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:13:29 PM] <Laurna> Ok but I still think they look too young for family life.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:13:43 PM] <Laurna> I must be getting old.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:14:09 PM] <Jerusha> No, Laurna. It's aging like a fine wine
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:14:14 PM] <The_Bee> you and me both, Laurna
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:14:20 PM] <Evie> They started off as teen dolls, yes. But if you consider how many "careers" Barbie has had since then, she's evidently grown up, and Skipper took her place as the teen sister
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:14:23 PM] <Shiral> Would pregnant Midge end up with one of those plastic babies you feed from a tiny bottle?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:14:30 PM] <Aerlys> I don't think it was very popular. DD1 was given it as a girft, but I'm not much of a Barbie person, and she lost interest. I know its a collector's item, but I haven't tried selling it yet
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:14:32 PM] <Laurna> Turning to viniger.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:15:08 PM] <Evie> I plan to make another padded belly eventually for either a maternity Meraude or Richenda
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:15:11 PM] <Jerusha> Say it isn't so, Laurna! :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:15:12 PM] <DomMelchior> I don't know anyone that's getting younger....though if you find someone, tie them up...I want a transfusion!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:15:21 PM] <KK> They should have a baby bump like an apron or plastern, that can be removed once the doll is no longer pregnant. And it should come with a baby.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:15:24 PM] <Aerlys> She had a magnetic baby belly, and a little plastic baby.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:15:33 PM] <Evie> Yes, that's how the Happy Family Midge is
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:15:36 PM] <KK> Ah. Exactly what I was thinking.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:15:50 PM] <Jerusha> Wow, I wish childbirth was that easy!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:15:59 PM] <Aerlys> LOL you and me both!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:16:02 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Jerusha.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:16:18 PM] <KK> It would certainly make losing that post-baby belly easier to lose.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:16:22 PM] <Evie> I thought it was cute, but some moms had a fit. I guess the ones who would prefer their kids think babies come from under cabbage leaves, and Mom just went through a fat stage. :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:16:52 PM] <Evie> I mean, it's not like it was a "You're dilated to 10 cm and ready to push Barbie." :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:16:57 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:17:02 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:17:14 PM] <Aerlys> I liked the idea
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:17:21 PM] <Shiral> That would be difficult....making working lady parts for Barbie. =o)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:17:38 PM] <Aerlys> that's a different kind of doll, I think
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:17:42 PM] <Evie> https://flic.kr/p/nnSuHp The finger-picked look
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:17:47 PM] <Shiral> And Ken isn't exactly anatomically correct
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:18:05 PM] <Laurna> I love Lucy
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:18:29 PM] <Evie> There are...um...1/6 male add-on action figure parts for people into that sort of thing. Rest assured I don't have plastic genitalia in the body parts bin, though. O.o
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:18:31 PM] <Aerlys> http://www.amazon.com/Happy-Family-Pregnant-Midge-Baby/dp/B000083E0C
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:19:04 PM] <Shiral> I'm glad to hear you stopped with Doll Heads on stakes, Evie. =o)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:19:06 PM] * Jerusha does not want to sift through the body parts bin
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:19:08 PM] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:19:37 PM] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:20:01 PM] <Evie> :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:20:38 PM] <Evie> Wow, Midge is going up in price now, isn't she?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:20:44 PM] <Aerlys> ack, now I have a king missile song going through my head! BRAIN SCRUBBY!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:20:47 PM] <Evie> Yeah, I think I'll stick to that padded suit
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:21:44 PM] <Aerlys> (Ok, so they play weird stuff on the Seattle alternative radio stations...)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:21:46 PM] <Jerusha> Midge sure changed from my original Midge
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:22:08 PM] <KK> That's an outrageous price. The padded suit sounds like a much better option.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:22:17 PM] <Jerusha> Mine had that 60's flip hairstyle
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:22:21 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:22:22 PM] <Evie> KK, here's that fat suit design I made for a Friar Tuck commission, but I'd do something similar for a pregnancy suit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/9573389@N08/sets/72157632618168388/
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:22:30 PM] <Aerlys> I'll make you a deal, Evie! :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:22:38 PM] <Evie> my version costs about 40 cents to make
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:22:47 PM] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:22:59 PM] <Evie> one 33 cent knee high stocking from Walmart and some fiber polyfill
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:23:22 PM] <Aerlys> I probably wouldn't get that much for her. She was played with, and I think her shoes are gone...
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:23:42 PM] <Jerusha> Denis looks mortified
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:23:48 PM] <Evie> LOL! Doesn't he? :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:24:13 PM] <Evie> Missing shoes would be no problem, Aerlys, though doll purchases need to wait until DH gets another job.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:24:31 PM] <Jerusha> DH need another job?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:24:35 PM] <Aerlys> Well, I need to get moving. Have a great week, guys. My mom is coming on Wednesday and staying for three weeks, so I'm not sure if I'll make it to chat much.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:24:45 PM] <Shiral> Yeah. "I'm NOT a Beer Loving Friar and my name is NOT Tuck!"
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:24:47 PM] <Evie> Bye, Aerlys!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:24:47 PM] <DesertRose> See you, Aerlys. Have a good one.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:24:54 PM] <Shiral> Bye, Aerlys
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:24:55 PM] <The_Bee> glad you came tonight, Aerlys
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:24:57 PM] <Jerusha> Bye Aerlys!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:25:01 PM] <Laurna> Good night Aerlys
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:25:04 PM] <DomMelchior> G'Evening Aerlys
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:25:10 PM] <Aerlys> I was kidding, Evie. i didn't hink you'd really be interested
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:25:10 PM] <The_Bee> bye, Aerlys
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:25:18 PM] <Evie> I dunno about the not-beer-loving, Shiral. I've got a pretty incriminating set of photos showing Denis hanging off a beer tap. :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:25:32 PM] <Jerusha> In a Jayne hat!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:25:36 PM] <Shiral> And he IS bishop of Dhassa where the wine is notoriously bad...
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:25:54 PM] <Evie> never know when one might need a pregnant action figure, Aerlys. Just not for $99!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:26:16 PM] <Evie> but yeah, I'd prefer an articulated one with a removable belly
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:26:16 PM] <The_Bee> when people started talking about "Denis" in this chat, I thought they meant Denis Arilan.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:26:27 PM] <Evie> That's Mini-Denis, Bee
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:26:34 PM] <Evie> only not dressed in character
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:26:45 PM] <Aerlys> lol. I really never dreamed of selling it for that much
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:26:51 PM] <The_Bee> mini-denis in a fat suit??
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:26:53 PM] <Aerlys> gotta scoot. By all!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:26:53 PM] <Evie> I have a habit of taking the littles on vacation to me when I go to a con
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:27:01 PM] <Shiral> Bye, Aerlys
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:27:04 PM] <Laurna> bye
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:27:16 PM] <Evie> I needed a male figure to model it on, and Denis was the only one I had with me at the time, so he got drafted
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:27:31 PM] <Jerusha> Poor Denis!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:27:37 PM] * Aerlys waves good-bye, steps into her portal, and slips on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:27:41 PM] <Evie> I was making it as a commission for someone who wanted a Friar Tuck costume for one of his figures
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:27:49 PM] Quit Aerlys has left this server (Quit: CGI:IRC).
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:27:59 PM] <Jerusha> LOL at Aerlys
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:28:32 PM] <Laurna> I was giggling.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:28:37 PM] <DomMelchior> KK, Andy just walked through the library...he said to say "hi!"
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:29:32 PM] <KK> Say hi to Andy!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:29:48 PM] <DomMelchior> Will do :-)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:29:52 PM] <KK> BTW, how close to you are those fires in Santa Ana?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:30:42 PM] <DomMelchior> They were actually in north San Diego county, kinda close to work, but all is fine now
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:31:00 PM] <KK> Ah, good.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:31:19 PM] <The_Bee> I heard there was arson involved.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:31:35 PM] <Shiral> I heard it was sparks from construction equipment
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:31:35 PM] <Laurna> Today got cooler so the firefighters are gettingthem down.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:31:43 PM] <DomMelchior> And the weather has finally cooled. 105 is really too hot for May!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:31:58 PM] <Shiral> It's too hot for me any day, but definitelyin May
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:31:59 PM] <The_Bee> arson maybe different fire then
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:32:31 PM] <Evie> 105? yikes!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:32:34 PM] <Shiral> Yup
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:32:41 PM] <Jerusha> Awful
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:32:47 PM] <Laurna> It was hot on friday and saterday
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:32:53 PM] <DomMelchior> There were something like 9 or so different fires...some looked to be arson, some accidental, some unsure
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:32:58 PM] <KK> I don't remember it ever getting that hot when I lived in SoCal.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:33:11 PM] <Shiral> Anybody committing Arson in CA right now would get an awful lot of people VERY angry with them
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:33:35 PM] <Evie> Is there any time when an arsonist wouldn't get a lot of people very angry with them?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:33:54 PM] <DomMelchior> Sometimes, people are just reprehensible
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:34:03 PM] <Shiral> Well probably not, but fire danger is very high right now because the state is so dry
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:34:21 PM] <Laurna> Trouble is the dang wind, it is always windy with the over 100 degrees
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:35:11 PM] <Shiral> Santa Ana winds are scary, but they usually don't pose this much danger in spring
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:35:47 PM] <Jerusha> Someone said climate change isn't in the future - it's now
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:35:58 PM] <Shiral> Francesca has come to say hello
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:36:03 PM] <Evie> Just patted a bit of styling mousse into the curls to see if that helps tame the frizz a bit so the curls look more under control.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:36:11 PM] <DomMelchior> Usual just seems to be off the table these days
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:36:15 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Francesca
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:36:36 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Francesca.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:36:37 PM] <Shiral> She cn mkwit vwy difficlt to type
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:36:37 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Francesca
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:36:43 PM] <DomMelchior> Greetings Francesca
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:36:52 PM] <Evie> meow
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:36:56 PM] <Shiral> Especially when she's rubbing her cheeks agains my fingers
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:37:23 PM] <The_Bee> She's marking you as her property.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:37:39 PM] <Shiral> She knows very well I'm already her slave
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:37:48 PM] <DomMelchior> If the panel doesn't mind, I have an odd medieval title question I'd like to pose
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:38:00 PM] <Jerusha> Pose away, DM
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:38:02 PM] <The_Bee> go ahead
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:39:12 PM] <DomMelchior> I know that a Seigneurie is nominally headed by a Seigneur, or if female, a Dame (at least, that was true for Sark)...
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:07 PM] <Jemler> well folks. i got an early appt. until next week.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:17 PM] <The_Bee> bye Jemler
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:22 PM] <Evie> Not familiar with Sark, but that translates to Lord/Lady, so it sounds right....
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:22 PM] <DesertRose> See you, Jemler.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:24 PM] <Evie> bye jemler
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:25 PM] <Jerusha> bye Jemler
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:25 PM] <The_Bee> go on, DM
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:27 PM] <Laurna> Good Night Jemler.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:30 PM] <DomMelchior> Do you think one should stick with Dame in a fantasy, alternate world setting, or go with keeping the male Seigneur, to reflect the exotic nature of the title?
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:41 PM] <DesertRose> BRB
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:40:59 PM] <Jemler> a record.

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:41:28 PM] <Jemler> that's ok. i don't read very fast.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:41:37 PM] <Evie> I would tend to either use both (since a lady "Seigneur" might be baffling to people familiar with the titles' origins), or at least feminize the title by adding an -e to the end or something
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:41:39 PM] <DomMelchior> :-)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:41:41 PM] <The_Bee> If it's a world of your own creation, you could coina term , like Seigneuse.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:41:43 PM] <Jerusha> No apologies needed, DM! :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:42:10 PM] <Evie> Yes, Seigneuse could also work, since it's parallel to other French constructions
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:42:16 PM] <KK> Either would work. The Seigneurie is a fairly specific French institution. Dame might be better.

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:42:40 PM] <Jerusha> Nite Jemler
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:42:42 PM] <KK> Nighters, Jemler.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:42:53 PM] <Evie> https://flic.kr/p/nnSuHp Hair with mousse patted in.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:43:11 PM] <Shiral> Darn, Missed Jemler
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:43:20 PM] <KK> The Queen is Duke of Lancaster, so the gender titles aren't always consistent. That's in Britain of course.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:43:23 PM] <DomMelchior> I killed off the Seigneur of Ys at the end of book 1 and replaced him with a woman, but am still deciding on her proper title
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:44:19 PM] <KK> Could be Dame, Lady....lots of possibilities.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:44:22 PM] <Evie> I was reading an article recently about a woman who is a secretary in NYC, but she's also the King of a village in Ghana, because her uncle died and left it to her.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:45:07 PM] <KK> I think I saw that article. But that's Africa. Though, of course, they got a lot of their traditions from the Brits.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:45:21 PM] <Evie> so she returns to Ghana every year to tend to her royal duties, then goes back to her day job in the US
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:45:45 PM] <DomMelchior> There are certainly arguments for all three options....fortunately it's a secondary title, so I probably won't need to worry about it over much.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:45:48 PM] <Jerusha> Queen for a day
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:45:49 PM] <KK> And a lot of the African titles just don't translate.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:46:28 PM] <Laurna> But Elizabeth and Victoria were never considered King, they are Queens. I don't see the gender switch.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:46:33 PM] <KK> Ah, well. It's nearly time for Game of Thrones, and I need to get a bite of dinner first. See you guys next week.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:46:39 PM] <Evie> yes. But in a fantasy novel, I suppose the historical accuracy of the titles could be more elastic, depending on how close to actual history you want to make the fantasy world
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:46:46 PM] <The_Bee> bye KK. Glad you came.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:46:50 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, see you, KK. Thanks for dropping by and have a good week! :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:46:54 PM] <Shiral> Night, KK
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:46:57 PM] <Laurna> Good Night KK
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:46:58 PM] <Shiral> Thanks for stopping by
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:01 PM] <Jerusha> Bye KK, have a good week!
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:04 PM] <DomMelchior> G'night KK...and thanks
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:10 PM] <Evie> bye KK!

[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:19 PM] <Shiral> Bye
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:23 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:26 PM] <Shiral> tee hee
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:31 PM] <Evie> :D
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:33 PM] <The_Bee> LOL
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:37 PM] <Jerusha> :)
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:40 PM] <KK> Stay gool, you guys on the Left Coast.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:49 PM] <DomMelchior> It's an alternate history/fantasy, so I try to keep things close to the real world, Evie
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:47:49 PM] <KK> cool, too.
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:48:00 PM] <Laurna> Fingrs crossed about the SYFY movies
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:48:02 PM] <Shiral> It's nice today, but reports are that it will get hot again by weds-thurs
[Sunday, May 18, 2014] [08:48:06 PM] <Evie> Ah, in that case I'd stick to Dame

"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.)
