Feb 21 19:04:28 <Jerusha>   Hi KK
Feb 21 19:04:29 <the_Bee>   Hi KK
Feb 21 19:04:29 <Jemler>   Hi Bee!
Feb 21 19:04:35 <DesertRose>   Hi KK.
Feb 21 19:04:40 <DomMelchior>   G' Evening KK
Feb 21 19:04:47 <Jemler>   Hi KK!
Feb 21 19:04:47 <KK>   Hi, guys.  And Jemler, welcome back!
Feb 21 19:04:58 <DesertRose>   Bee, the filk (parody) song of "My Sharona" using the typo I almost made of Jerusha's screen name.  :)
Feb 21 19:05:06 <the_Bee>   Where are you now, Jemler?
Feb 21 19:05:13 <Jemler>   Only for a while.just going to lurk.
Feb 21 19:05:25 <Evie>   hi KK
Feb 21 19:05:49 <Jemler>   Still in the hospital. 2 more weels.
Feb 21 19:05:59 <Jerusha>   Oh my.
Feb 21 19:06:00 <the_Bee>   bummer
Feb 21 19:06:19 <KK>   Still?  Bummer, indeed.
Feb 21 19:06:30 <DesertRose>   My mother wrote two AWESOME filk verses of "O Christmas Tree" at various times in my adolescence, pertaining to situations at her place of employment at the time.  They are the reason I can no longer hear that particular carol without laughing myself to tears.

Feb 21 19:07:51 <DesertRose>   Hi revanne
Feb 21 19:07:53 <the_Bee>   Hi Revanne
Feb 21 19:07:55 <Jerusha>   Hi revanne
Feb 21 19:08:04 <revanne>   hi
Feb 21 19:08:05 <KK>   Be advised that one of the better Cinderella is on tonight at 8 PM east coast time on TCM: The Slipper and the Rose.  So I will be bailing in time to watch that.  Haven't see it in years.
Feb 21 19:08:11 <DomMelchior>   Greetings Revanne
Feb 21 19:08:17 <KK>   Cinderella movies
Feb 21 19:08:23 <Jerusha>   Have you moved yet, revanne?
Feb 21 19:08:25 <the_Bee>   I'm recording it.
Feb 21 19:08:33 <Evie>   hi revanne
Feb 21 19:08:35 <revanne>   I love that version.
Feb 21 19:08:39 <DesertRose>   That sounds really cool, KK, if I had a TV never mind cable service.  :)
Feb 21 19:09:00 <DomMelchior>   I have that one on disc...its protocollogoriclly delightful.
Feb 21 19:09:01 <DesertRose>   But I bet it's a good movie.
Feb 21 19:09:10 <revanne>   Not moved yet -Tuesday /Wednesday
Feb 21 19:09:28 <KK>   I would record it, but I'm too technologically challenged to know how to do it.
Feb 21 19:09:33 <Jerusha>   Good luck, revanne - I hope you have a nice fianna red available
Feb 21 19:09:43 <DesertRose>   Oh dear, KK.  :)
Feb 21 19:09:47 <Jemler>   Hi Revanne.
Feb 21 19:09:51 <the_Bee>   Will your life be simpler once it's done, or more complicated getting used to new people?
Feb 21 19:11:01 <revanne>   Hi Jemler. In the long run simpler once the initial settling in period is over.
Feb 21 19:12:06 <revanne>   At the moment complicated by my Dad's health nose diving to the point he had to go into respite care
Feb 21 19:12:18 <the_Bee>   :(
Feb 21 19:12:20 <Jerusha>   Oh dear, that's not good news
Feb 21 19:12:24 <KK>   Oh, dear.
Feb 21 19:12:26 <Evie>   How is he doing tonight? Any better?
Feb 21 19:13:08 <Jemler>   Is he ok?
Feb 21 19:13:41 <the_Bee>   How long has your dad been ill, Revanne?
Feb 21 19:13:47 <revanne>   No -we'll then have to work out how to relocate him either back to living with us which we all want or finding somewhere close by to the new place.
Feb 21 19:14:18 <revanne>   He was very confused tonight but quite happy.
Feb 21 19:14:38 <Jerusha>   Happy is good
Feb 21 19:14:58 <revanne>   He's been frail for a while but getting steadily worse since Christmas.
Feb 21 19:15:32 <revanne>   Still at 91 he has been doing well.
Feb 21 19:15:39 <DesertRose>   Why was he confused?
Feb 21 19:15:43 <the_Bee>   Is his new place near your new church?
Feb 21 19:15:46 <Jerusha>   You will be closer to more family in the new place, revanne?
Feb 21 19:17:19 <revanne>   Yes. Much closer to family -unfortunately Dad's current place is where we live now so a bit of a logistical nightmare.
Feb 21 19:17:59 <Jerusha>   Hopefully it will all get worked out
Feb 21 19:18:06 <revanne>   His short term memory has gone and the change of location has thrown him out.
Feb 21 19:18:28 <DesertRose>   Oh, that's no fun.
Feb 21 19:18:36 <Evie>   oh dear
Feb 21 19:18:49 <the_Bee>   stroke? Altzheimer's?
Feb 21 19:18:52 <Jerusha>   My Dad seems to have a similar problem
Feb 21 19:18:57 <revanne>   Hopefully yes-luckily my  DH is fantastically patient -unlike his wife!!
Feb 21 19:19:17 <Jerusha>   Same here :)
Feb 21 19:19:47 <Jemler>   Got a breathing treatment. Brb.
Feb 21 19:19:51 <revanne>   TIAs we think.
Feb 21 19:20:01 <DesertRose>   For a second, I read that wrong and was like, "Wait, your dad is married?  I thought your mum had passed?" until my brain caught up and realized by "his wife" you meant yourself.
Feb 21 19:20:49 <revanne>   LOL DR. Although I do take after my mum in that way.
Feb 21 19:21:06 <DesertRose>   LOL
Feb 21 19:21:20 <revanne>   Sorry to hear about your Dad Jerusha -it's hard all round.
Feb 21 19:21:42 <Jerusha>   My Dad is 97 - we have caregivers who come in everyday now
Feb 21 19:22:15 <Evie>   Wow, a ripe old age!
Feb 21 19:22:16 <Jerusha>   We are trying to convince him that living on bacon sandwiches is not necessarily a good thing
Feb 21 19:22:17 <DesertRose>   I keep meaning to ask my parents what they've arranged in terms of care insurance for themselves should they ever get to a point that they need it.
Feb 21 19:22:27 <revanne>   97 is some age.
Feb 21 19:23:00 <DesertRose>   (My stepdad's parents didn't ever need it, but his father died young--like barely older than I am now, and his mother managed to live independently to the end of her days.)
Feb 21 19:23:05 <DesertRose>   Mom's parents didn't either.
Feb 21 19:23:56 <DesertRose>   Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a good BLT every once in a while but as a steady diet they lack some nutrients.  :)
Feb 21 19:24:25 <Jerusha>   When we go to visit I include vegetables!
Feb 21 19:24:50 <the_Bee>   How do you convince something they've gotten away with for 90+ years is bad for them?
Feb 21 19:24:56 <DomMelchior>   True DR.  Everyone knows the only truly healthy diet is the all pizza regime!
Feb 21 19:25:01 <DesertRose>   Yeah, that's probably the sticking point, Bee.
Feb 21 19:25:03 <Jerusha>   You kind of don't.
Feb 21 19:25:04 <DesertRose>   LOL, DomMelchior.
Feb 21 19:25:14 <revanne>   I stick pureed veggies in the gravy -that way he doesn't notice.
Feb 21 19:25:43 <the_Bee>   I'll may just try that for myself, REvanne
Feb 21 19:25:50 <Jerusha>   His caregivers have at least gotten him to drink V8 juice in the morning
Feb 21 19:26:02 <KK>   V8 is good.
Feb 21 19:26:22 <revanne>   Dad's diet has always been really unhealthy but 90+ my arguments sound pretty thin.
Feb 21 19:26:27 <KK>   Not what I consider a breakfast beverage, though.
Feb 21 19:26:53 <Jerusha>   Whatever works, KK :)
Feb 21 19:27:01 <KK>   True enough.
Feb 21 19:27:11 <revanne>   Not for me either KK. Lacking in essential caffeine.
Feb 21 19:27:26 <KK>   Earl grey, please.
Feb 21 19:27:50 <Jerusha>   Earl grey green tea is good, too
Feb 21 19:28:01 <the_Bee>   V8 is a good change of pace from orange juice.
Feb 21 19:28:04 <KK>   What makes it green?
Feb 21 19:28:10 <Jerusha>   Combination blend
Feb 21 19:28:14 <revanne>   I've been barred by family from giving up coffee this lent. Apparently I'm grumpy enough anyway.
Feb 21 19:28:29 <Jerusha>   Green tea added to the Earl Grey.  Made by Tetley
Feb 21 19:28:41 <KK>   And to give up coffee while moving?!  I don't think so!
Feb 21 19:28:43 <revanne>   sounds interesting.
Feb 21 19:28:44 <Evie>   My grandfather used to swear by a shot of whiskey at bedtime to kill off germs.  He lived to 94.  When he was in hospital towards the end, he asked my aunt to bring his whiskey to him, and when she asked the night nurse if she could, the nurse just grinned and said "I'm not going to tell a 94 year old man No. Just don't let me see it."
Feb 21 19:29:04 <Jerusha>   Bless her
Feb 21 19:29:07 <Evie>   LOL, revanne! No, this might not be the year for that
Feb 21 19:29:32 <Jerusha>   No coffee while moving is just asking for trouble
Feb 21 19:29:36 <DesertRose>   LOL at the grandfather story, Evie.
Feb 21 19:29:46 *   Eyikl (Mibbit@8027A0.AD6C34.D381B8.7BAAEB) has joined
Feb 21 19:29:49 <DesertRose>   Hi Eyikl
Feb 21 19:29:55 <Jerusha>   Hi Eyiki
Feb 21 19:29:56 <Eyikl>   Hi
Feb 21 19:29:58 <the_Bee>   HI Eyiki
Feb 21 19:30:04 <DomMelchior>   Hi E
Feb 21 19:30:06 <Evie>   hi Eyikl
Feb 21 19:30:11 <KK>   Welcome, Eyikl.
Feb 21 19:30:30 <revanne>   My MIL was barred from keeping Whisky in her room aged 93 -her wee dreams were causing the other residents to be unsteady on their Zimmer frames.
Feb 21 19:30:41 <DesertRose>   Oops.
Feb 21 19:30:47 <KK>   lol
Feb 21 19:30:55 <Evie>   LOL
Feb 21 19:31:02 <revanne>   Hi Eyikl
Feb 21 19:31:03 <Jerusha>   :)
Feb 21 19:31:12 <Eyikl>   hi everyone
Feb 21 19:31:19 <the_Bee>   Did your MIL enjoy the dreams?
Feb 21 19:31:31 <revanne>   Wee drams
Feb 21 19:31:48 <Jerusha>   wee drams can lead to wee dreams, I suppose
Feb 21 19:31:50 <the_Bee>   poh. as in wee-wee?
Feb 21 19:32:08 <Evie>   As in "tiny portions"
Feb 21 19:32:20 <DesertRose>   Except "tiny" is in the eye of the pourer.  :)
Feb 21 19:32:22 <revanne>   Wee as in Scots for little.
Feb 21 19:32:27 <Evie>   apparently not so tiny if the other residents were growing unsteady
Feb 21 19:32:50 <KK>   At least she was kind about sharing.
Feb 21 19:32:54 <the_Bee>   oh, ok.  I thought you meant she wet herself.
Feb 21 19:32:54 <revanne>   Indeed.
Feb 21 19:33:03 <DesertRose>   That, or they were on medications that were not so good with alcohol.
Feb 21 19:33:34 <revanne>   Or were unused to strong drink.
Feb 21 19:33:40 <DesertRose>   That's a possibility too.
Feb 21 19:34:28 <Jemler>   My mothers father drank one shot of whiskey per day for over 20 years. His doctors said hee
Feb 21 19:34:32 <DesertRose>   Speaking of strong drink, I just ate the last slice of my birthday pecan pie with bourbon whipped cream, made by my mom.  Yum!
Feb 21 19:34:41 *   Jemler has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
Feb 21 19:34:48 <DesertRose>   Oops, we lost Jemler.
Feb 21 19:34:54 <revanne>   She'd lived in Scotland and got used to a fairly larger intake of the local brew!
Feb 21 19:35:02 <DomMelchior>   Set out the bread crumbs
Feb 21 19:35:03 <Evie>   DH just texted me a picture of Gigi venturing into the kitchen to eat even though he was in there, so yay! Hopefully she'll be easy to catch and dose tonight. She's been playing Hide and Seek because she hates medication.
Feb 21 19:35:08 <DesertRose>   Ah, that would do the trick, revanne.
Feb 21 19:35:17 <DesertRose>   Poor Gigi.
Feb 21 19:35:21 <Jerusha>   Gigi is sick?
Feb 21 19:35:40 <revanne>   Let's hope so, Evie.
Feb 21 19:35:51 *   mibp (Mibbit@F9D7EC.720493.D95E78.23BC21) has joined
Feb 21 19:35:57 <the_Bee>   Hi mibp
Feb 21 19:36:01 <DesertRose>   Is that you, Jemler?
Feb 21 19:36:06 <Jerusha>   Jemler?
Feb 21 19:36:10 <Evie>   She's got a very bad ear infection, and possibly other problems, but we have to wait to find out what, since it's the weekend
Feb 21 19:36:20 <mibp>   Yep, mibbit got me.
Feb 21 19:36:23 <Jerusha>   Hope she gets better soon
Feb 21 19:36:27 <DesertRose>   Phooey on Mibbit.
Feb 21 19:36:28 <Evie>   But the emergency vet clinic took care of the immediate needs
Feb 21 19:36:31 <Jerusha>   Dratted mibbit
Feb 21 19:36:35 <Evie>   rehi, Jemler
Feb 21 19:36:44 <the_Bee>   wb, jemler
Feb 21 19:37:10 <mibp>   My fathers drs gave him him 2 yearas,helived over 20 yrs,
Feb 21 19:37:19 <DesertRose>   Wow.
Feb 21 19:37:27 <Evie>   wow
Feb 21 19:37:41 <KK>   At an inflated fee, no doubt, Evie.
Feb 21 19:37:46 <revanne>   wb Jemler
Feb 21 19:37:56 *   mibp is now known as jemler
Feb 21 19:38:14 <Jerusha>   Yay Jemler
Feb 21 19:38:27 <Evie>   Yes, KK, though they were kind enough to leave off some of the diagnostic work and ask first before doing the things they did, saying it would cost us less to have the follow up care done by her regular vet during the week
Feb 21 19:38:49 <Jerusha>   That's good
Feb 21 19:39:14 <revanne>   Is pet insurance available your side of the pond?
Feb 21 19:39:30 <Evie>   But they went ahead and took care of the ear infection, since we'd tried treating that already and the drops weren't working, so now she's got a gel type of medication that congeals in the ear and stays there until it's fully absorbed over the next two weeks. No more ear drops
Feb 21 19:39:43 <Evie>   It's available, but we don't have it
Feb 21 19:39:49 <KK>   Available, but expensive if you have multiple pets.
Feb 21 19:39:57 <Evie>   There are various financing options too
Feb 21 19:40:05 <Jerusha>   Much better than the time we took the male whippet to the emergency vet when he wouldn't put any weight on his front leg.  Then he walked into the vets office as if nothing was wrong.
Feb 21 19:40:15 <DomMelchior>   Expensive even if you have just one
Feb 21 19:40:19 <Evie>   where you can establish essentially a no-interest credit account for arranging payment
Feb 21 19:40:59 <revanne>   Ah ok
Feb 21 19:41:03 <the_Bee>   I paid over $1000 for Melantha's surgery.
Feb 21 19:41:17 <revanne>   Ouch.
Feb 21 19:41:29 <Jerusha>   Vet care is not cheap, but essential when you need it
Feb 21 19:41:43 <the_Bee>   same for my own. and I had insurance
Feb 21 19:41:46 <jemler>   The only pet insurance we had was a .22. If your dog bit a kid, we'd shoot the dog!
Feb 21 19:41:50 <Evie>   She's got a very elevated liver enzyme level for one particular enzyme, but not any others, so that will require watching to see what is causing it, though the ER Vet said it might be due to the med she was on
Feb 21 19:41:54 *   Shiral (Mibbit@504018.A7BCBA.563ED8.F843AE) has joined
Feb 21 19:42:04 <the_Bee>   Hi Shiral!
Feb 21 19:42:05 <DomMelchior>   But so far  (knocking on wood to avoid the jinx) we've been lucky withy Rory, who has been a healthy boy.
Feb 21 19:42:07 <Shiral>   Hello everyone
Feb 21 19:42:09 <Jerusha>   Hi Shiral
Feb 21 19:42:14 <DesertRose>   Hi Shiral
Feb 21 19:42:14 <revanne>   Yes -it's horrible when pets aren't well.
Feb 21 19:42:24 <Eyikl>   hi Shiral
Feb 21 19:42:31 <jemler>   Hi shiral.
Feb 21 19:42:42 <revanne>   hi Shiral.
Feb 21 19:42:52 <DomMelchior>   Greetings Shiral
Feb 21 19:42:53 <KK>   Hi, Shiral.
Feb 21 19:42:59 <DesertRose>   Carys is being a silly kitty.  Every time I go into the bathroom, she decides she needs to jump into the bathtub (unless I'm running water in it).
Feb 21 19:43:04 <Shiral>   Hi there Jemler, Jerusha, DR. Revanne, Bee, Eyikl DM, and KK
Feb 21 19:43:23 <revanne>   DD1 bought catnip mice for our moggie. Not a good idea.
Feb 21 19:43:38 <DesertRose>   Why not, revanne?
Feb 21 19:43:58 <Evie>   We really can't afford it just at the moment, but fortunately DS had just got some money in from his auto insurance, and he was planning on repaying us what we paid on his car insurance, so when he found out about the vet emergency, he didn't mind us going ahead and transferring the money to pay for the unexpected cost.
Feb 21 19:44:01 <DomMelchior>   Speaking of pets, any of the rest of you watch the Westminster Kennel Club dog show last week?
Feb 21 19:44:21 <Evie>   LOL, DR
Feb 21 19:44:22 <DesertRose>   No
Feb 21 19:44:26 <Jerusha>   Yes - lovely borzoi\
Feb 21 19:44:39 <Shiral>   I didn't know it was on
Feb 21 19:44:41 <revanne>   As far as we could work out it acted like a class A drug and they were seeing things that weren't there.
Feb 21 19:44:47 *   Evie waves at Shiral
Feb 21 19:44:48 <DomMelchior>   I thought so too, Jerusha
Feb 21 19:44:53 *   Shiral waves back
Feb 21 19:44:54 <DesertRose>   O.o revanne!
Feb 21 19:44:58 <Shiral>   Oh THERE'S Evie
Feb 21 19:45:12 <DomMelchior>   I was cheering for her, but of course I am a hound person
Feb 21 19:45:21 <Evie>   Kitties were high, revanne?
Feb 21 19:45:40 <revanne>   as kites.
Feb 21 19:45:41 <DesertRose>   I did see a screenshot because someone I know on another forum knew one of the handlers for one of the dogs.
Feb 21 19:45:47 <Shiral>   I bought Dmitri and Francesca a new catnip toy, a little rubber "bomb" that you fill with nip, but Dmitri still prefers his purple catnip sausage
Feb 21 19:45:55 <Jerusha>   Did like the leonberger that zeroed in on the treats in the handler's pocket
Feb 21 19:45:56 <Evie>   Luke likes catnip but doesn't go berserk with it.  Gigi can take or leave it, depending on her mood
Feb 21 19:46:12 <DomMelchior>   That was a hoot!
Feb 21 19:46:35 <the_Bee>   My neighbor's cat adores catnip, my cat ignores it.
Feb 21 19:46:41 <DesertRose>   One of the cats my family had years ago was crazy for catnip.  Mom had bought her a red "sock" catnip toy that was meant to be for her Christmas present and hid it in the master bedroom closet.
Feb 21 19:46:44 <Jerusha>   Handler's nightmare, but sometimes you just have to go with it
Feb 21 19:47:01 <DomMelchior>   They are big fluffy puppies...pity they typically have such short lives.
Feb 21 19:47:09 <jemler>   I'm gonna go. Long day. Maybe next week.
Feb 21 19:47:17 <DesertRose>   That silly cat climbed into the closet, up the hanging clothes to the shelf (eye level on a standing adult) where the catnip toy was hidden, and utterly destroyed the packaging to get to it.
Feb 21 19:47:17 <Shiral>    Night, Jemler
Feb 21 19:47:17 <Evie>   Goodnight, Jemler
Feb 21 19:47:19 <DesertRose>   Night, jemler.
Feb 21 19:47:21 <DesertRose>   Take care!
Feb 21 19:47:25 <Eyikl>   bye jemler
Feb 21 19:47:30 <Jerusha>   Night Jemler, hope all goes well and you feel better soon
Feb 21 19:47:35 <revanne>   night Jemler.
Feb 21 19:47:44 <the_Bee>   be better, Jemler
Feb 21 19:47:50 <jemler>   Night all.
Feb 21 19:47:51 <Jerusha>   resourceful cat

Feb 21 19:48:11 <DesertRose>   She was a smart cat.
Feb 21 19:48:19 <Shiral>   Of course the cat sought out the present--it was being withheld!
Feb 21 19:48:25 <DesertRose>   Yup!
Feb 21 19:48:49 <Jerusha>   Deerhounds and wolfhounds would be the same
Feb 21 19:49:02 <Shiral>   Put it on the living room rug and she probably would have acted totally bored
Feb 21 19:49:07 <Evie>   Gigi was ignoring food yesterday morning and drinking excessively (10 minutes almost nonstop), which is why we took her to the ER vet aside from the ear meds clearly not working, but today she is eating, and DH just sent another text. "She keeps sniffing the water like she's trying to figure out why it was so good yesterday but now it's just water.."
Feb 21 19:49:17 <the_Bee>   Did anyone take pictures of the mess, DR?
Feb 21 19:49:23 <revanne>   think I'll emulate Jemler and say goodnight. nearly 1am here.
Feb 21 19:49:25 <DesertRose>   No, she loved her catnip socks.  We went through several of those toys in her years with us.
Feb 21 19:49:29 <DesertRose>   Night, revanne.
Feb 21 19:49:33 <Shiral>   Night, Revanne
Feb 21 19:49:34 <Evie>   goodnight, revanne
Feb 21 19:49:42 <DomMelchior>   You cat folk should try dill weed on your kitties.  I had a friend with a cat that was crazier for dill potato chips than he was for catnip
Feb 21 19:49:44 <DesertRose>   And she lived to be twenty years old, so we went through quite a fair few.
Feb 21 19:49:45 <Jerusha>   Night revanne - good luck with the move
Feb 21 19:49:49 <the_Bee>   nighters, Revanne.  Hope the move goes smoothly.
Feb 21 19:49:49 <revanne>   Night all.
Feb 21 19:49:53 <Eyikl>   goodnight revanne
Feb 21 19:49:58 <DesertRose>   Best wishes with the moving
Feb 21 19:50:08 <Evie>   yes, Gigi once almost dived headlong into some sour cream and dill dip I made
Feb 21 19:50:11 <Shiral>   Hope all goes well. Moving is a pain.
Feb 21 19:50:20 <Evie>   I had to hold her back from it so I could dip my chips in!
Feb 21 19:50:24 <Jerusha>   Bet you can't eat just one?
Feb 21 19:50:37 <Shiral>   You're supposed to dip CHIPS in it, not the whole cat!
Feb 21 19:50:43 <revanne>   Thanks
Feb 21 19:50:47 <DesertRose>   No, I don't think anyone thought to take a photo of the utter devastation of toy packaging that that silly cat wrought, but this was a good long time ago, well before the advent of camera phones.

Feb 21 19:50:59 <Evie>   I was trying to keep a whole cat from dipping herself, Shiral!
Feb 21 19:51:03 <DesertRose>   LOL, Evie!
Feb 21 19:51:23 <Shiral>   Cat hairs in dip, not a good addition. =o)
Feb 21 19:51:26 <DomMelchior>   catnip, catdip...what's the difference?
Feb 21 19:51:29 <DesertRose>   LOL
Feb 21 19:51:36 <Jerusha>   :)
Feb 21 19:51:39 <the_Bee>   I wonder if Melantha would like dill....
Feb 21 19:51:51 <Evie>   Can't even imagine what would happen if I put catnip into sour cream for her
Feb 21 19:52:10 <DesertRose>   I had a calendar some years ago that had paintings of cats with little sayings done up in calligraphy for each month, and one of them had a cat in a kitchen, and the caption was "The cook is not responsible for fur in the food."
Feb 21 19:52:11 <DomMelchior>   A mess
Feb 21 19:52:20 <KK>   I'm going to bail, too.  Slipper and the Rose is about to start.  Won't be here next week: MIL's memorial service in LA.  Ta for now.
Feb 21 19:52:32 <Evie>   Goodnight, KK
Feb 21 19:52:32 <DesertRose>   OMG, catnip in sour cream would be kitty treat heaven!
Feb 21 19:52:34 <Shiral>   You'd have a sour-cream covered cat who would really enjoy bathing herself. Night, KK
Feb 21 19:52:40 <Eyikl>   goodnight KK
Feb 21 19:52:40 <Evie>   Have a safe trip
Feb 21 19:52:44 <Jerusha>   Night KK, have a good week
Feb 21 19:52:45 <the_Bee>   nighters, KK. Thank you for coming.
Feb 21 19:52:45 <DomMelchior>   Goodnight
Feb 21 19:52:46 <DesertRose>   Night, KK.  Thanks for coming to see us.
Feb 21 19:52:47 *   Shiral wonders what she said to empty the chat room....
Feb 21 19:52:52 <DesertRose>   See you in two weeks, KK?
Feb 21 19:52:55 *   KK steps onto her Portal, waves good night, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
Feb 21 19:52:56 <Jerusha>   And a safe trip
Feb 21 19:53:00 <DesertRose>   Travel safely!
Feb 21 19:53:08 <KK>   Yep.  Nighters.
Feb 21 19:53:18 <DesertRose>   Okay, cool.  G'night!

"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.)
