[17:07] <Kiri`> hi KK
[17:07] <Bynw> Hiyas KK
[17:07] <Shiral>  Hi KK!
[17:07] <Rebecca> hi katherine
[17:07] <AEves_Spirit> Hi KK
[17:07] <Tika> hi KK :)
[17:07] <Wrengl>  Hi KK
[17:07] <scribbler> Welcome KK -- we were wondering where you were!
[17:07] <vegasunicorn> hi KK! :)
[17:08] <Mike> LBM -  We think you have a WONDERFUL daughter.
[17:08] <lbarms> hello KK
[17:08] <Wrengl>  Hi Kelric
[17:08] <Shiral>  We are in your debt, LBM!
[17:08] <Wrengl>  We certainly do, LBM
[17:08] <Shiral>  Hi Kelric
[17:08] <KK> Wow, I don't believe that LBM is here, too!
[17:08] <AEves_Spirit> hi Kelric
[17:08] <Kelric> Hi all
[17:08] <LBM> Hi Katherine;; it's your LBM herself.  Chris helped me get here :-)
[17:08] <scribbler> KK -- I loaned my mom-in-law Adept 1, and she's "totally hooked"!
[17:08] <Kelric> hehe
[17:08] <KK> Chris is magic!  Thank you, Bynw!
[17:08] <scribbler> hi Kelric...
[17:08] <Tika> yes he is ;)
[17:08] <Bynw> You are welcome :-)
[17:08] <Tika> hehehe
[17:09] <Shiral>  We're really very friendly, LBM.
[17:09] <Tika> scribbler, i've been down with a very bad illness and got thru the 1st 2 Adept books in as many days last week ;)
[17:09] <Kelric> so what's new here?
[17:09] <Shiral>  KK are you settling back into your "home" routine?
[17:09] <scribbler> yes, we are -- we don't bite unless you ask....
[17:09] <KK> Wow, Bynw and Tika both are online tonight.  Does this mean you got another computer replaced at last?
[17:09] <Bynw> yes :-)
[17:09] <scribbler> Tika -- I've been re-reading the Adept series; I still need to get #5
[17:09] <Kelric> and there was much rejoicing.
[17:09] <KK> More or less back on target.  I'm getting to know my new laptop.
[17:09] <Tika> hehehe, I finally felt up to setting up the new one ;)
[17:10] <scribbler> and my husband is impatiently waiting for #6....
[17:10] <Kiri`> what kind of laptop did you get katherine?
[17:10] <Tika> I'm sure I'll finish the remaineder of the 5 Adept books this week
[17:10] <lbarms> Aeves, you have a private message
[17:10] * Bynw read Adept 1-5 already...and is reading Lammas Night right now
[17:10] <Wrengl>  So are many of us, scribbler
[17:10] <KK> I'm also waiting impatiently for #6.  But I actually started the proposal for The Temple and the Ark this weekend.
[17:10] <Shiral>  Others of us are discreetly pawing up turf for the Childe Morgan books AND the next Adept. =o)
[17:10] <Bynw> is that the title?
[17:10] <Mike> Hooray! KK got a laptop like she wanted!  Now she can write ANYWHERE! Even in the privy!
[17:10] <Kelric> hehe
[17:11] <Tika> LOL
[17:11] <KK> A little Compaq Presario on a smoking good sale.
[17:11] <Shiral> Now Mike EVERYBODY needs to take a break now and then!
[17:11] <Kiri`> oooh
[17:11] <Bynw> KK, is The Temple and the Ark the title for book 6?
[17:11] <Shiral>  BUt she can take minutes for the Privy Council
[17:11] <Mike> awww!
[17:11] <scribbler> With the amount of planning we did for her last month she needs to write 24/7....
[17:11] <AEves_Spirit> LOL Mike
[17:12] <vegasunicorn> lol
[17:12] <KK> No, Temple & Ark is the final book in the Robert the Bruce series.
[17:12] <Bynw> ok
[17:12] <scribbler> Bynw -- Temple and the Ark is sequel to Temple and the Throne....
[17:12] <Shiral>  True, Roberta. <G>
[17:12] <Bynw> I'll have to get those while I wait until next year for Childe Morgan and Deryni Tales
[17:13] <Tika> hmmm... privy would be a good place to work on the series to a book that ends with the word "Throne" :)
[17:13] <Tika> series=sequel
[17:13] <KK> Which Stephan is that?
[17:13] <Mike> Any word on the status of the Killingford Chronicles?
[17:13] <scribbler> LOL Tika....
[17:13] <Shiral>  LOL you bad Tika!!
[17:13] * Tika grins
[17:13] <vegasunicorn> when is Deryni Tales going to be released?
[17:13] <Bynw> I think he might be a lost traveller
[17:13] <scribbler> not soon enough....
[17:13] <KK> Deryni Tales--next June.
[17:14] * Shiral starts counting the months on her fingers...
[17:14] * scribbler starts to work on her book shopping list for the next several years.....
[17:14] <Tika> pssst...Shiral... it's June now ;)
[17:14] <Wrengl>  Twelve, Shiral
[17:14] <Mike> KK - When will the first book in the Killingford Chronicles be released?
[17:14] <Shiral>  Well gee *I* Knew that!!! <G>
[17:14] <LBM> Katherine, I can't find Lammas Night for Michael.  Borders says "Out of stock indefinitely."  I'l try Acorn Books on Polk Street next. Any ideas?
[17:15] <KK> Killingford Chronicles?
[17:15] <Kiri`> I have an extra copy.  grabbed it a borders a few weeks bac.
[17:15] <Kiri`> Borders on Powell.
[17:15] * AEves_Spirit holds aching sides... why does Shiral always manage to crease me like that?!?
[17:15] <Rebecca> Lammas Night is impossible to find
[17:15] <Tika> bah!
[17:15] <Shiral>  Because it's fun, Aeve!
[17:16] <vegasunicorn> I think I have an extra one
[17:16] * Tika does not have the word "impossible" in her vocabulary ;)
[17:16] <scribbler> My copy is falling apart -- I'll be keeping my eyes peeled at Bookbuyers.....
[17:16] <Mike> On the FAQ it says you are working on a set of books called the Killingford Chronicles. First book to be called Dark-Hared Man: The Hieromonk's Tale
[17:16] <vegasunicorn> Lammas Night, that is
[17:16] <LBM> Kiri, you must have gotten their last copy, before I got there.  :-(
[17:16] *** Rambart20 has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:16] * scribbler wonders which drawer her husband put the eye-peeler in....
[17:16] <Wrengl>  Hi Bstt
[17:16] <Shiral>  The Dark Hared Man is about a guy who raises black Rabbits....
[17:16] <Rambart20> Howdy all , Howdy KK
[17:16] * Rebecca does't either, but is getting very frustrated that she keeps coming up against a brickwall
[17:16] <Wrengl>  Hi Bart, I meant

[17:16] <Bynw> Hiyas Bart
[17:17] <Rambart20> hey chris

[17:17] <scribbler> Mike -- I thought Dark-Haired Man was Rob's work....
[17:17] <Kelric> well,  time for me to disappear.  work rebeckons :.(
[17:17] <Kiri`> LBM - you checked Borders?  I"m going down later tonight, I'll look again =)
[17:17] <KK> Dark-Haired Man is Rob Reginald's book, and the plans are still very nebulous on this project.
[17:17] <Wrengl>  CYA Kelric

[17:17] <scribbler> by kelric -- don't work too hard...
[17:17] <Rambart20> Laura
[17:17] <AEves_Spirit> hi Bart
[17:17] <Kiri`> LBM - if I find one would yo like me to getit for you?
[17:17] <Mike> It may be Rob's work........
[17:17] <Shiral>  And somehow is breeding program gets out of hand, and Torenth is overrun by bunnies...
[17:17] <Rambart20> Aeves Spirit
[17:18] <KK> Bye, Kelric
[17:18] <Rambart20> Long time no see Laura
[17:18] <vegasunicorn> bye, kelric ---- just got home from work
[17:18] <KK> Now, Shiral....
[17:18] <lbarms> you need a break Shiral :-)
[17:18] <Kiri`> bunnies of torenth?
[17:18] <AEves_Spirit> ROFL @ Shiral
[17:18] * Shiral agrees and thinks she needs a vacation
[17:18] <Kelric> msg to the Great Hooded One's Clan.  I am FINALLY going to watch X-Men tonight.
[17:18] <AEves_Spirit> Enjoy, Kelric
[17:18] *** Kelric has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited )
[17:18] * Kiri` reads backwards and rolfs
[17:18] <great_hooded_one> i heard
[17:18] <Bynw> LOL Ann... go for it!
[17:18] <KK> Kelric, you'll love it!
[17:18] <scribbler> is that where Jimmy Carter's "killer rabbit" came from?
[17:18] <LBM> Oh yes, Kiri, and thank you.  It's for a friend of ours in France; one of KK's former history profs.  (I'll pay you, of course!)
[17:18] <adupuis> (We run a lot of Bunnies games in Fudge at game conventions -- "The Dark-Hared Man" could be a Deryni/bunnies crossover adventure! :-)
[17:19] <Shiral>  I'm sure they were related, Roberta
[17:19] <Kiri`> LBM - ok.  I'll let you know =)
[17:19] <Mike> Shiral!  When is the next zipper sister AND brother.... column gonna be posted?
[17:19] <Rambart20> other than want to ship five kids off
[17:19] <Rambart20> allright
[17:19] <Rambart20> did you see the latest chapter Laura
[17:19] <KK> I've got to find out whether Lammas Night is officially OP--and see whether it's going to Print on Demand--which is what I'm told has happened to Two Crowns.
[17:19] <Shiral>  I have to sit my ZIpper Sister down and make her write it. I've been working on the artwork right along, Mike. Honest!
[17:19] <Kiri`> KK - you back home now?  *has a bottle of fianna red already to ship*
[17:20] <scribbler> Two Crowns is now OP? I'd better hang on to that one too, even if it's in worse shape than Lammas!
[17:20] <Shiral>  Susan has had to finish up the school year, and her mother's recovery has been very time consuming for her.
[17:20] <lbarms> did you send it to me Bart
[17:20] <Mike> Good for you Shiral!
[17:20] <KK> Yes, I'm back--pretty much for the summer now.  Have to get down to serious writing.
[17:20] <Shiral>  But  we WILL write that Column!
[17:20] <great_hooded_one> mom's copy of lammas is in pretty good condition...
[17:21] <lbarms> I hear I missed you again last week KK
[17:21] <great_hooded_one> and signed...
[17:21] <scribbler> "Serious" and "Writing" are two words that should not be combined in the same sentence....
[17:21] <Rambart20> no actually, spure of the moment thing I posted before I had you edit
[17:21] <KK> Yes, Scribbler, but they tell me it's gone into their Print on Demand list--and I have to find out how that works, how much copies cost, etc.
[17:21] <Kiri`> kk - ok. *sends pencils along with wine*
[17:21] <Bynw> the copy that Teek and I got from Jessie as a partial wedding gift is in pretty good shape
[17:21] <Tika> scribbler...how about "focused"? :)
[17:21] <Wrengl>  Yes they should, if one wants to complete a writing project
[17:21] <lbarms> ah OK.  I havent been able to get to the NG
[17:21] <Rambart20> I had M@ proof it for me real quick
[17:21] <Shiral>  We're also planning to write the next few Zipper Sister Columns this summer while Susan is off, Mike.  That way we won't have the long delays we've had this year.  But this year does kind of fall under the "Life is what happens when you had other plans" category for SUsan
[17:22] <scribbler> a little better; I'm just rarely serious about anything....
[17:22] <Rambart20> do you want me to send it to you
[17:22] <KK> I'm afraid this one is pretty serious in spots.
[17:22] <Tika> good for you scribbler! ;)
[17:22] <Rambart20> it has a couple of surprises
[17:22] * Kiri` suggests determined
[17:22] <Shiral>  Actually,  Scribbler, Writing SHOULD sometimes be taken seriously. <G>
[17:22] <scribbler> Not as dark as the"Heirs of Camber" series I hope....
[17:22] <Tika> Kiri`, that'll work ;)
[17:23] <scribbler> I'll wait to take my writing seriously when I actually get a real job....
[17:23] <KK> Well, I kill off a kid....  That's pretty serious.
[17:23] <Shiral>  KK, just keep on writing. <G>
[17:23] <lbarms> yep, that is serious
[17:23] <Wrengl>  VERY serious
[17:23] <Mike> Impatient as I can be, I DO understand....  *hug*
[17:23] <Kiri`> agrees - unless he falls overlaughing ;)
[17:23] <scribbler> that's pretty serious stuff, KK....
[17:23] <Bynw> stuff happens
[17:23] <Shiral>  Hey in the heirs, you killed off SEVERAL people!!
[17:23] <Tika> ugh
[17:23] <KK> I think I'm going to drown him.
[17:23] *** Stephan has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited )
[17:23] <Kiri`> in laughter?
[17:23] <Bynw> That's nice
[17:23] * Tika thwaps Bynw
[17:23] <Bynw> in a lake, river or what?
[17:24] <Kiri`> who were you planning to drown
[17:24] <Shiral>  At least that won't hurt as much as some other ways that people have died in Gwynedd, KK
[17:24] <scribbler> well, drowning's similar to suffocation, isn't it?
[17:24] <KK> True.  They say that, in the grand scheme of things, drowning and freezing are the two easiest ways to go, relatively speaking.
[17:24] <Kiri`> they say it's peaceful once you stop struggling.
[17:24] <lbarms> better than being mind-ripped
[17:24] <AEves_Spirit> I'm re-reading Heirs at the moment, but find it equally moving as it is dark...
[17:24] <Shiral>  And nobody should expect to live ALL that long when life gets interesting in Gwynedd!
[17:25] <Bynw> mind-ripping.....
[17:25] <scribbler> or drawn and quartered....
[17:25] * Bynw looks at DeryniBot
[17:25] <Shiral>  Or burning
[17:25] <Tika> or hanging...
[17:25] <KK> Burning is NOT a good way to go.  Nor is drawing and quartering.
[17:25] <Shiral>  OR at Custodes Hands...
[17:25] <Mike> Or tickled to death....
[17:25] <scribbler> or bled to death....
[17:25] <AEves_Spirit> its the drawing and quartering that make me shudder
[17:25] <Kiri`> flossed
[17:25] <KK> Or impaling.
[17:25] * lbarms shudders at impaling
[17:25] <Tika> ack, that one's bad!
[17:25] <Tika> I had forgotten about that....
[17:25] * Shiral lies in fetal ball on the floor thinking Ow, ow, ow!
[17:26] <scribbler> I still shudder when I read the scene in "Temple & Stone" that describes Wallace's death....
[17:26] * Kiri` shudders
[17:26] <Bynw> good olde Vlad
[17:26] <Kiri`> no kidding
[17:26] <Kiri`> strappado wasn't pleasant either
[17:26] <KK> Bleeding to death is one of the easier ones.
[17:26] <AEves_Spirit> ?
[17:26] <Shiral>  My goodness, we're so cheerful today!
[17:26] <AEves_Spirit> Why easier, Katherine?
[17:27] <Tika> ya, bleeding you just kinda pass out and that's it
[17:27] * Kiri` passes ou daisies all round to brighten th mood (and hopefully the conversation)
[17:27] <scribbler> I was thinking about how helpless the person being bled feels....
[17:27] * Wrengl passes a tray of sugar free belgian chocolates to lighten the mood
[17:27] <KK> Well, it took me several days to catch up on the mail--and then we went to Scotland for a couple of days to look at some property.
[17:27] <AEves_Spirit> minution at the hands of the Custodes, scribbler?
[17:28] <scribbler> yes
[17:28] <Shiral>  yes, in terms of emotions, while the person being bled is aware of what's happening to him.
[17:28] * AEves_Spirit adds some gin to the summer fruit punch...
[17:28] <Mike> KK, you gonna buy a second castle in Scottie-land?
[17:28] <Rambart20> GIN?
[17:28] * Shiral hands her glass to Aeve.  <G>
[17:28] <AEves_Spirit> You never had gin, Bart?  lol
[17:28] <KK> Uncertain yet.  It's a possibilty.
[17:28] * Wrengl hands Aeves her glass
[17:28] <Rambart20> actaully no
[17:28] * vegasunicorn wishes a Happy Dad's Day to all the dads here
[17:29] * AEves_Spirit fills a glass for Shiral and hands it right back
[17:29] <Shiral>  Bart, I think she means you. <EG>
[17:29] <Rambart20> I have stay away from mixed drinks
[17:29] <Mike> Cool!  A kinda summer home?
[17:29] <Rambart20> to many funny hats
[17:29] <scribbler> KK is buying a guest castle for all her US friends..... 8-)
[17:29] * AEves_Spirit fills another glass for Wrengl, too
[17:29] * Wrengl hands Bart a glass of homemade lemonade
[17:29] <Shiral>  KK, we're going to have to come to Ireland and Cook all your meals so that you can put in some serious writing time.
[17:29] <Rambart20> enjoy it Lbarms
[17:29] <Rambart20> (G)
[17:29] <KK> But I did get a good start on the proposal for the third Templar book--so that was something.
[17:30] * Kiri` considers gettig KK some translation software so she can talk her stories..
[17:30] * Rambart20 nodds thanks to Wrengl
[17:30] <Mike> KK - lets have a huge slumber party at your castle! WOO HOO!
[17:30] <Shiral>  Definitely a good step on the road
[17:30] <KK> Wow, send some of that lemonade over here.  I tank up on it every time I come to the States.
[17:30] <Wrengl>  Sounds good.
[17:30] * Wrengl hands Katherine a glass of lemonade
[17:30] <KK> Thank you, Wrengl.
[17:31] <Shiral>  But will KK get ANY writing done with Us camped all over her place? <G>
[17:31] <KK> And how's Thumper's recovery coming along?
[17:31] <AEves_Spirit> I'd volunteer to exercise horses...
[17:31] * lbarms wonders if THumper slipped a pigs ear in that glass of lemonade
[17:31] <Rambart20> what happ-ened to thumper?
[17:31] <Wrengl>  He's been standing a little bit every day.  Still not walking.
[17:31] <Mike> Probably not.......
[17:31] * Kiri` wonder sis the lemonade is pink..
[17:31] <Tika> Thumper gave me a pig's ear to make me feel better too - it helped a lot ;)
[17:31] <KK> But at least he's standing.  I want him to be able to do that wedding in his tux.
[17:32] <Wrengl>  He ruptured a disk in his back in april and had surgery. Still can't walk, Bart
[17:32] <Shiral>  Pigs ears are very restorative. <G>
[17:32] * scribbler figures she can type if KK wants to dictate....
[17:32] <Shiral>  They were an ancient cure for fevers, you see...
[17:32] <Rambart20> ouch
[17:32] <lbarms> but they cant fix computers I have found
[17:32] <AEves_Spirit> A little every day, though Wrengl - it's going to take a while
[17:32] <Rambart20> I take it he is being spoiled
[17:32] <Kiri`> is thumper standing up at bynw & tiks'a weddin .. or his own?
[17:32] <AEves_Spirit> lol lbarms
[17:32] <Wrengl>  He's not going to make Bambi's wedding I fear.  He will, however make a certain Jedi wedding.
[17:32] <Mike> Pickled pigs feet are pretty good too.
[17:32] <KK> I got pig's ears for Oswald and Scrappy last week.  They'd never had them before, and Scrappy growled when Lucy came up to her and, I guess, looked like she might be thinking about taking it away.  So I guess they like them.
[17:33] <Shiral>  Sounds like a hit was made, yes
[17:33] <Kiri`> kk- are the sparkle balls still in action?
[17:33] <Rambart20> hey laura what did happen to your computer
[17:33] <Wrengl>  No, Laura, unfortunately computers do NOT like pigs ears
[17:33] <KK> Sparkle balls are still in action, as is the grey mouse.
[17:33] <lbarms> dont know, lost a "dll" file somewhere and it wouldnt let me into any websites
[17:33] <Wrengl>  Unfortunately, Laura, computers do NOT like pig's ears
[17:33] <Shiral>  They just won't fit into the floppy disk drive -- most tiresome!
[17:34] <Rambart20> that does not sound good
[17:34] <AEves_Spirit> Have you tried putting it into the CD-ROM?
[17:34] <scribbler> ain't technology wonderful, Laura?
[17:34] * lbarms hits self in the forehead. Doh!!!! that is my problem!!!! A pigs ear in the DVD drive!
[17:34] <AEves_Spirit> lol!
[17:34] <Rambart20> you should have heard her when she had the laptop in texas
[17:34] <Shiral>  LOL, Laura
[17:35] <scribbler> Hey, did you hear that "D'oh" is going into the OED?
[17:35] <great_hooded_one> lbarms, what os are you running?
[17:35] * Rambart20 snickers
[17:35] <lbarms> my husband is on his way to Iowa with the accursed laptop
[17:35] <Tika> oh really?
[17:35] <Rambart20> for a little target shooting
[17:35] <adupuis> Poor Thumper -- our dog Barney's going through some rough times with some peripheral neuropathy (loss of nerve function in his back legs), but we're getting closer to a diagnosis and treatment now.
[17:35] * Tika notes that Bynw is from Iowa
[17:36] <Shiral>  Wow, does Iowa have special restorative Laptop powers?
[17:36] <Bynw> Yes it does
[17:36] <Tika> ROFLMAO
[17:36] <lbarms> I hope so for his sake
[17:36] <Rambart20> not in this part they don't
[17:36] <AEves_Spirit> lol
[17:36] <Wrengl>  I hope Barney is okay soon
[17:36] <Shiral>  Kind of a reverse Devil's Triangle for Laptops...
[17:36] <scribbler> with all that corn, it can fix the kernels....
[17:36] <KK> Iowa is good for laptops?
[17:36] <Shiral>  Or wait, I meant Bermuda Triangle
[17:36] <Rambart20> hey that explians alot about Iowa
[17:37] <adupuis> I'm very much looking forward to seeing Thumper again next November -- especially in a tux at the wedding. :-)
[17:37] <lbarms> he gets to spend a whole 2 months with the wretched thing...and he is even more computer dependent than I am if that is possible
[17:37] <KK> Does lightning strike in a constructive/restorative way?
[17:37] <Rambart20> not from my point of veiw it doesn't
[17:37] * scribbler wonders if anyone got the joke....
[17:37] <Bynw> LOL
[17:37] <Bynw> I got it scribbler
[17:37] <Shiral>  VERY bad joke, Roberta...<G>
[17:37] <AEves_Spirit> yes, scribbler - was a real "groaner" ;)
[17:37] <KK> Maybe like bringing life to Frankenstein's monster?
[17:37] <scribbler> I was a tech support major till I switched to tech writing...
[17:37] * Rambart20 groans
[17:38] <Shiral>  LOL, KK!
[17:38] <Shiral>  Franken-top?
[17:38] <AEves_Spirit> lol
[17:38] <Wrengl>  LOL
[17:38] <lbarms> my laptop could use a good ZAP
[17:38] <KK> Well, you guys out there talk about thunderstorms, and sometimes have to sign off in mid chat....
[17:38] <adupuis> Just look how many superheroes lightning has wrought -- in the comic books, at least. :-)
[17:38] <scribbler> now you know why I switched to tech writing....
[17:38] <KK> That true, Hood?
[17:38] <Shiral>  What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger....<EG>
[17:38] <KK> About lightning and super heroes?
[17:39] <Rambart20> actually yes
[17:39] <great_hooded_one> whats true?
[17:39] <Rambart20> I personally don't trust surge protectors
[17:39] <adupuis> If you get struck by lightning and survive you'll turn into a superhero. :-)
[17:39] <KK> Did the original Great Hooded One get zapped to life by lightning?
[17:39] <AEves_Spirit> Wasn't there an episode of X-Files about a kid who could call down lightning to strike at will?
[17:40] <great_hooded_one> no, actually by locusts
[17:40] <KK> I remember that one.
[17:40] * scribbler is glad to live where lightening storms are few and far between....
[17:40] <Shiral>  NO, that was Adept II, Ann!
[17:40] <adupuis> (Mel Gibson got telepathic powers that way -- well, in a bathroom accident involving the hair dryer and a tub and a lot of cosmetics -- in "What Women Want.")
[17:40] <Tika> uh-oh... this is sounding very familiar!
[17:40] <great_hooded_one> but it wasn't exactly a *zap*
[17:40] * Tika just finished Lodge of the Lynx
[17:40] <Tika> ;)
[17:40] <Shiral>  It helps to harness Taranis, first
[17:40] <adupuis> I don't know how well it would work on laptops, though.
[17:40] <AEves_Spirit> Still haven't seen that, Ann.  It's on my list of must-sees thugh
[17:40] <Kiri`> adu - that bit with the waxing *shudder laugh*
[17:40] <Wrengl>  There was an XFile about EVERYTHING weird!
[17:40] <lbarms> mine too
[17:40] <Rambart20> and there was also one where sioux city was mentioned
[17:41] <adupuis> lbarms: if you're ever in the Boston area, my husband Paul
has been known to "lay on hands" on computer equipment to great effect. :-)
[17:41] <lbarms> I will remember that
[17:41] <KK> I think I'll trust in technology, where laptops are concerned. And experts like Bynw and our other computer gurus.
[17:41] <Shiral>  Is Sioux-City the Weird Capital of Iowa, Bart?
[17:41] <Bynw> :-)
[17:41] <Rambart20> pretty  much
[17:41] <scribbler> adupuis -- maybe I can suggest that as a topic for our new Healing Group at church..... 8-)
[17:41] * Bynw got LBM here with IM instructions on AOL
[17:41] <adupuis> LOL!
[17:42] <Shiral>  Never been to Iowa, so I'll have to take your word for it
[17:42] <Rambart20> I would have to use profanity to describe my fellow sioux ciutyan driving habits
[17:42] <lbarms> AOL wont let me on for some reason
[17:42] <Mike> Lets hope Sioux City isn't Sue City though...
[17:42] * AEves_Spirit groans
[17:42] <KK> Hands on healing for computers....now there's a thought.
[17:42] <Rambart20> not yet
[17:42] <Shiral>  2 Computer Faith Healers?
[17:42] <Rambart20> but we have sue bee honey
[17:42] <KK> Well, one MUST have faith, when dealing with computers.
