[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:12:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:12:23 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, folks.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:12:27 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:12:29 PM EDT] <Bee> hi KK
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:12:38 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> hi
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:12:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Evie will probably not make it this evening; she's having computer issues.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:12:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Unless she logs in from her phone.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:13:03 PM EDT] <KK> Ah. It happens.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:13:41 PM EDT] <KK> And is Goatmistress a new person, or a regular lurking under another name? ;-)
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:14:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> An old fan who hasn't been around in a while. :D
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:14:06 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> I was here a long time ago for a bit, but might as well be new it's been so long
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:14:09 PM EDT] <Bee> long-lost returned
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:14:32 PM EDT] Quit Revanne (Revanne@842092.C19ECF.762609.77F14E) has left this server (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client).
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:15:18 PM EDT] <KK> Well, welcome back.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:15:29 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> thank you
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:16:46 PM EDT] <Bee> KK, have you finally found time to think about writing?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:18:04 PM EDT] <KK> Thinking, yes. Writing, no. Had to take my mom to the ER again on Friday; spent the whole day there, but at least they didn't admit her. She was weeping fluid from her left shin. Apparently a BP issue.

[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:18:21 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> I'm very sorry
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:18:23 PM EDT] <Bee> :(
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:18:34 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi Demercia
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:18:44 PM EDT] <Demercia> Hi Bee

[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:19:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Demercia. Sorry to hear that about LBM. How is she now?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:19:01 PM EDT] <Bee> rehi Revanne
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:19:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Rehi Revanne
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:19:33 PM EDT] <Demercia> hi Revanne and DR
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:19:34 PM EDT] <Revanne> Rehi
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:19:39 PM EDT] <KK> She's doing better. Weeping hasd slowed but isn't entirely resolved. She goes to see her PCP tomorrow.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:19:50 PM EDT] <Revanne> Hi KK
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:20:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I hope her doctor can do something helpful.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:20:21 PM EDT] Join Shiral (~49df776d@OWIRCN-1bdd9d77.org) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:20:23 PM EDT] <Bee> I hope LBM's problems are fixed quickly.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:20:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:20:31 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:20:38 PM EDT] * Shiral appears in chat with a champagne cork pop
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:20:38 PM EDT] <Revanne> Sorry to hear LBM not well
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:20:46 PM EDT] <Revanne> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:20:58 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hello all. Oh dear, what is the nature of LBM's trouble?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:21:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> KK had to take LBM to the ER on Friday for fluid weeping from her left shin.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:21:20 PM EDT] * Revanne hands round champagne flutes
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:21:20 PM EDT] <KK> Yesah, well, she's on a drug called Lasex, I think--and had that IV in the ER. It may take more than that. It's tricky baklancing at her age, though. She'll be 93 in July.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:21:54 PM EDT] <Revanne> 93 is a good age.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:21:58 PM EDT] <Shiral> Oh dear! I hope the problem can be cleared up soon
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:22:00 PM EDT] * Bee passes around fresh strawberries.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:22:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Lasix is a diuretic, and yeah, medication dosage management is a challenge, especially for aging people.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:22:37 PM EDT] * Shiral produces a sponge cake and whipped cream to go with the strawberries
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:22:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She may also end up needing to raise her potassium levels by diet and/or supplement.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:22:46 PM EDT] <Revanne> Yum. Hang on while I quickly conjure some scones
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:22:58 PM EDT] <Bee> Is there a cut on her shin where the fluid's leaking?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:22:59 PM EDT] Nick jemler_lurker is now known as Jemler.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:05 PM EDT] <Jemler> hi folks
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:05 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi Jemler
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:17 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, these will be proper scones, coming from Revanne. With clotted cream, I trust?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:25 PM EDT] <Revanne> Yum for tge strawberries not the potassium.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:25 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi Jemler
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:28 PM EDT] <Demercia> of course
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:34 PM EDT] <Jemler> goatmistress, welcome to out parlor.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (Lasix can cause a reduction in potassium levels, and that's not too great for the ol' ticker in a patient of any age.)
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:43 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> Thank you
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:51 PM EDT] <KK> No, Bee, it's just coming through her pores. Very odd. I'd never seen it before, though I'd heard of it.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:54 PM EDT] <Demercia> how do I say that I am doing something?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:57 PM EDT] * DesertRose conjures banana bread out of the past.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:23:58 PM EDT] <Revanne> And jam
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:24:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You type "/me does whatever," Demercia, and the /me part has to be the first thing you enter.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:24:20 PM EDT] <KK> They gave her potassium, too. We know about K depletion.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:24:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, cool.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:24:32 PM EDT] * Shiral produces the magic teapot that supplies whatever tea each person likes best
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:25:01 PM EDT] <Demercia> "/mesays thank you"
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:25:07 PM EDT] <Jemler> she can have mine. it shot up from 4.1 to 6.8 im a month!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:25:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, sorry, no quotation marks.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:25:21 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hello Goatmistress. Are we to understand you are fond of goats in real life? =o)
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:25:26 PM EDT] * Demercia tries again
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:25:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> There you go! :D
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:25:31 PM EDT] <Jemler> and a space after me
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:25:39 PM EDT] <Jemler> ok!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:25:41 PM EDT] <Demercia> hoooray
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:25:51 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> Goats are an archetype
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:26:03 PM EDT] <Bee> of what?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:26:03 PM EDT] <Revanne> ??
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:26:21 PM EDT] * KK notes that apparently the clotted cream goes on first, and then the jam. Or have I misremembered this, Revanne or Demercia?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:26:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That reminds me, there's a company called You Goat Mail that will send a stuffed goat, a greeting card, and some other gifts to a person of your choice. I thought that was cute, and the stuffed goats are adorable.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:26:47 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> That sounds awesome
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:26:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Goats are pretty cute even IRL.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:26:53 PM EDT] <Demercia> it depends whether you are eating them in Devon or Cornwall KK
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:27:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> What's the Cornish way of doing it?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:27:08 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> you're eating goats???
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:27:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (I have some ancestry from Cornwall.)
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:27:17 PM EDT] <KK> So, if you're eating them elsewhere, ou can do it either way?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:27:29 PM EDT] <Bee> and they're easier to housebreak than live goats.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:27:38 PM EDT] <Demercia> no, scones Goatmistress
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:27:43 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> aha
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:27:44 PM EDT] <Jemler> but harder to milk.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:27:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, true, Bee, but if you have a yard/garden, they do a great job of keeping the grass mowed.

[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi JudyWard
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:02 PM EDT] <Jemler> hi judy
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:02 PM EDT] <Demercia> though oddly enough I did have goat for lunch today.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:05 PM EDT] <Shiral> Putting jam and cream on an actual goat would be.....messy I'm guessing
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:19 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Hi, everyone!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:20 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> just a bit . ..
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:20 PM EDT] <KK> LOL Keep up, Goatmistress. We often have several conversations going on at once. We eat scones with clotted cream and jam. We snuggle baby goats.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:26 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi Judy Ward
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:28 PM EDT] <Revanne> Yes I think it's a matter of choice rlsewhere. I can't remember which is tge cornish way.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Given goat eating habits, they'd likely lick if off themselves if they were able to reach it!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:29 PM EDT] <Bee> There's a local park that uses goats to control poison ivy. Apparently goats love it.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:37 PM EDT] <JudyWard> What IS Clotted Cream???
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:46 PM EDT] <Bee> hi Judy
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:47 PM EDT] <Demercia> our farmers market was selling them so I thought I would give them a try
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:28:56 PM EDT] <Revanne> Very thick cream.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:29:14 PM EDT] <Shiral> It's delicious, like very stiff whipped cream. And just about as bad for your arteries as it sounds
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:29:17 PM EDT] <JudyWard> So not cottage cheese, then.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:29:19 PM EDT] <KK> Clotted cream is yummy! It's thick and creamy and tastes like, well, cream. Excellent on scones.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:29:20 PM EDT] <Revanne> The texture of soft icecream but not frozen.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:29:43 PM EDT] <Shiral> Nope, it's not cheese
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:29:44 PM EDT] <Jemler> hoew is it on strawberries?

[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:29:53 PM EDT] <JudyWard> We have a scone shop here in Hutto, so I'll have to see if they have any.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:29:54 PM EDT] <Shiral> Heavenly, Jemler
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:30:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Just don't overindulge or your cardiologist (and your cardiovascular system!) will pitch a fit.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:30:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:30:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good spring day to everyone!

[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:30:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> By the weather, not so much. :P

[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:30:54 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Snow!?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:03 PM EDT] <Laurna> 80degrees
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:09 PM EDT] <Jemler> no, demercia. grrrrr. to the snow.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:13 PM EDT] <KK> Where are you, Goatmistress? Yesterday, in western/central VIrginia, it was snowing and sleeting all day. DIdn't stick, though.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:15 PM EDT] <JudyWard> We're at 65 here in TX
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:16 PM EDT] <Demercia> spring seems to sprung at last this side of the Pond.

[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:27 PM EDT] <bynw> 1-3 inches in this part of the state (middle southern) further north getting 6-8 inches
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:27 PM EDT] <Revanne> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:31 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> I'm in Ohio
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> One of my high school classmates (we went to high school in the Charleston, SC, area) lives in New York state now, and she was grousing on Facebook about snow in April.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:33 PM EDT] <Shiral> Temps in the 60's here in California
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:37 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Hi, Revanne
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:49 PM EDT] <bynw> its supposed to be in the 50s to 60s here too but its not
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello revanne and Demercia, good to have the far side of the pond here
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:31:54 PM EDT] <Jemler> so am i, goatmistress. i'm in east liverpool.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:32:07 PM EDT] <Demercia> together as well!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:32:08 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> Dayton here
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:32:21 PM EDT] <Revanne> Yes early chat really helps
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:32:22 PM EDT] <Jemler> other side of the state.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:32:50 PM EDT] <Demercia> yes, otherwise we turn to 🎃
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:33:14 PM EDT] <Laurna> Archer is in my lap, holding his head on my hands. so it is hard to type
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:33:19 PM EDT] <Revanne> Speak for yourself.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:33:30 PM EDT] <JudyWard> UG, I had the smallest of our large brown dogs in my lap for a min.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:33:32 PM EDT] <Revanne> Hi Archer
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:33:37 PM EDT] <Bee> Archer--cat or dog?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:33:40 PM EDT] <Jemler> it's 10:30 in london.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:33:44 PM EDT] <KK> I didn't know this thing could do pumpkins. How did you do that?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:33:52 PM EDT] <Laurna> I hope only your carrage turns into a pumpkin nnot you.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:33:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> Archer is a dog
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:34:14 PM EDT] <Bee> Arf. Archer!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:34:22 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Dogs take up way more laproom than cats.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:34:25 PM EDT] <Demercia> i just typed it, but I'm using my IPad so I think it's the software on that.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:34:29 PM EDT] <Laurna> Now he is snoring
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:34:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Don't tell Carys, but give Archer a scritch from me.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:34:43 PM EDT] <Jemler> way to laurna! too many cat people here! :)
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:34:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Depends on the size of the dog, JudyWard!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:34:56 PM EDT] <Demercia> that depends on the cat, Judyward.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:35:01 PM EDT] <Demercia> lol DR,
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:35:02 PM EDT] <Shiral> Tati has wandered by to squeak her hello to all
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:35:05 PM EDT] <JudyWard> In our case the smallest is 70 lbs
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:35:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Greetings, Grand Duchess.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:35:25 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi, tata
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:35:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, a 70-lb would take up WAY more lap space than any house cat!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:35:33 PM EDT] <Bee> tati too
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:35:37 PM EDT] <KK> Ah. Sort of like our phones, then. I know that my phone does dogs when you message the word--poodles and hound-types--and I'm sure it does other things as well.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:35:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> *dog was supposed to be between the weight and "would."
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:35:59 PM EDT] <Demercia> Brandysnap is sitting on the floor glaring at me, its past his bedtime!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:36:05 PM EDT] <JudyWard> And sometimes her younger but larger brother who weighs 90 lbs gets jealous & wants in my lap.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:36:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Fun!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:36:36 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oh, you get dogs, KK? I'll have to see if I can find that.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:36:42 PM EDT] <Shiral> I had a friend's German Shepherd climb into my lap. She was just a love of a dog, but she sure had sharp elbows
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:36:58 PM EDT] <Demercia> yes KK this does lots of things. Not always what you want!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys got to visit with my mom today; Mom came by to drop off some stuff for me, and Her Serene Feline Majesty demanded tribute in the form of petting.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:07 PM EDT] <Shiral> 3
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:15 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Yes, and they like to put those elbows in tender places.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:23 PM EDT] <Shiral> Sorry, that was Tati's hello
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:28 PM EDT] <KK> I think it just works when texting--and entering things on the calendar. I get it when I'm logging in a transport.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Tati
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:32 PM EDT] <Revanne> Hi Tati
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:40 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Carys only7 wants her due!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:47 PM EDT] <Shiral> Just the way cats know how to stand on a sensitive pressure point
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:50 PM EDT] <KK> Phone is a Samsung.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:37:52 PM EDT] <Demercia> I used to live next door to a family with four pekes and a Rottweiler who had grown up thinking he was a lapdog too
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:38:10 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Yes, they do, Shiral
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:38:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys is good at that. I keep having to put her out of my lap because she keeps pressing on tender bits, and I have a fair few of those, unfortunately.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:38:24 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Mine too, a 7 Active
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:38:44 PM EDT] <Shiral> Tati has now parked herself between me and the keyboard. But how can I resist a cat with such an adorable purr?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:38:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:38:51 PM EDT] <JudyWard> They know where all teh tender points are.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:38:57 PM EDT] <KK> Mine is an S4 Mini.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:39:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys likes to rub her face against my monitor and turn it so I can't see!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:39:16 PM EDT] <Demercia> B is trying the, shall I walk all over you to get your attention?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:39:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:39:40 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Haven't seen that phone. They are telling me how I just MUST have an S9 Active
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:39:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Brandysnap: Um, hello, mum? Have you SEEN the time?! It's bedtime!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:39:48 PM EDT] <Demercia> 🐱 iPad does the correct colour cat!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:05 PM EDT] <JudyWard> No where near bed time! maybe for cats...
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> In the UK, it's almost 11 pm, JudyWard
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:19 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Now that's cool, Demercia!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:27 PM EDT] <Shiral> Yes, we ginger cat slaves are pleased by iPads and Phones
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Demercia and Revanne are in England.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:36 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oh, I guess it is. It's so early here.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:36 PM EDT] <KK> My phone is about 3-4 years old, so things may have changed on later models.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:39 PM EDT] <Bee> A cat's bedtime is whenever kitty wants it to be.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's it, Bee!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:53 PM EDT] <Revanne> That's true.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:40:58 PM EDT] <Shiral> And a cat will sleep wherever they want
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:41:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And however they want.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:41:04 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Yes, as fast as you can buy them they are obsolete.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:41:13 PM EDT] <Demercia> he hasn't forgiven me for not coming home on Friday night yet. I keep telling him it wasn't my fault that the trains we up the spout and it took 12hours to do a 90 minute journey
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:41:18 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Very true, Bee
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:41:29 PM EDT] <Laurna> My cat is sleeping on the counter near at hand and out of reach of dog in my lap
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:41:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys was napping on the back of the stationary armchair in a position that I can't feature in what way it was remotely comfortable, but then I, poor benighted human, lack the spinal flexibility of a cat.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:42:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> 12 hours Dermercia. to get somewhere, yikes
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:42:18 PM EDT] <Revanne> It's startingvto get light early in the mornings and the birds start singing at about 5.30 am.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:42:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, Carys was mad at me yesterday evening because her bedtime ration of food was late.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:42:21 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Can you imagine if we could curl up that way?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:42:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And apparently speaking of Carys summoned Her Serene Feline Majesty. She says Hi and purrs generally at everyone.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:03 PM EDT] <Demercia> yikes indeed. Though that did include overnight in a motel when I had got as near home as I could manage
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:05 PM EDT] <Revanne> Putr
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:07 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hello Carys
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> Can you imagine if humans had to sleep as much as dogs or cats?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:13 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Hi, Carys
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:16 PM EDT] <Revanne> Purr.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:17 PM EDT] <Demercia> purrs to Carys
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:26 PM EDT] <JudyWard> We can't? Laurna?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:30 PM EDT] <Shiral> In my next life I'd like to be someone's pampered cat
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:41 PM EDT] <Bee> Was it weather that caused the delay?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:50 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Me, too. No one expects a cat to do things like dogs do.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:43:52 PM EDT] <KK> That sucks, Demercia. Leaves on the track?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:44:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Shiral, we've had a joke in my family for ages that if one lives their human life well enough, they are rewarded by reincarnated as a pampered house cat
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:44:33 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I could go for that, DR
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:44:43 PM EDT] <Demercia> no, a fire by the rail track in a warehouse that had gas canisters in it so they had to stop all trains going north on the mainline
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:44:54 PM EDT] <Shiral> Sounds like an excellent version of the Afterlife to me. =o)
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:44:58 PM EDT] <Bee> Yike!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:44:59 PM EDT] <JudyWard> That's scary!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:45:05 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oh dear
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:45:08 PM EDT] <KK> That'll do it, all right.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:45:24 PM EDT] <Shiral> Scary, but smart in terms of danger avoidance
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:45:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, I expect a cat to keep me company and at least alert me if there are any unwanted critters in the house, but yeah, fairly light duty compared to what some dogs do. :D
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:45:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, glad they stopped the trains on that line for safety reasons.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:45:39 PM EDT] <JudyWard> How long is your commute usually, Demercia?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:45:50 PM EDT] <Demercia> yes I got why they shut the line but it was hassle I could do without. Still the rail company are going to pay for the motel
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:45:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh good
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:46:00 PM EDT] <Shiral> I expect cuteness, cuddliness, willingness to be stroked, and companionship
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:46:06 PM EDT] <Demercia> 90 minutes Judyward.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:46:27 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Taht's a long commute anyway without delays. Glad they put you up.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:46:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is a long commute
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:46:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I found a video on Facebook yesterday of a bunny who had observed sheepdogs doing their thing and was thus attempting to herd sheep itself. Made a fair job of it too!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:46:50 PM EDT] <Demercia> or rather my daily commute is about 1 minute. I live opposite where I work. This was a day trip to London.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:46:50 PM EDT] <Jemler> i used to walk that far to work.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:47:01 PM EDT] <Shiral> Not too bad if you have good books to read, but a pretty long time to spend en route
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:47:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> I drive 28miles to work but it only takes about 40minutes
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:47:09 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I would have liked to see the bunny do that!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:47:19 PM EDT] <KK> I saw that, DR. Reminded me of womething out of Monty Python. The sheep looked really concerned.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:47:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> https://www.facebook.com/LaughTherapyOfficial/videos/347235279005660/?hc_ref=ARRtzad180rMvTFY-i3s6d8CGCZ25rbdvyUz4A7SEEvoVEZ2vs54FYDTCVhW1X1UfDc
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:47:28 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I'm the closest I've ever been to work now, 7 miles
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:47:57 PM EDT] <Revanne> I'm a 2 minute walk away.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:48:12 PM EDT] <Demercia> Trouble with being that close is that there is no excuse for being late
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:48:27 PM EDT] <KK> Were there lots of people afected? Did British Rail have to come up with many, many hotel rooms?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:48:37 PM EDT] <Revanne> We had a very scary rabbit as a pet once that used to chade the cat.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:49:06 PM EDT] <Jemler> chade?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:49:08 PM EDT] <Revanne> Or even chase.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:49:13 PM EDT] <Jemler> ah.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:49:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:49:19 PM EDT] <Shiral> That's hilarious! The sheep look like "whaaaaa??????" But you'd think the Border Collie would be a little more worried about job security
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:49:25 PM EDT] <Revanne> Rented fingers.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:49:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:49:31 PM EDT] <Demercia> i think so. But they didn't come up with the rooms they just told us there were no trains.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:49:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They'll be compensating a few folks, I imagine.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:50:03 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oh, that's too funny!! love that bunny!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:50:05 PM EDT] <KK> So you were just cast out, on your own, to find a room?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:50:09 PM EDT] <Demercia> I used to call that Bunny Psycho bunny
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:50:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> Should have taken the excuss to turn around and do some night life and site seeing.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:50:28 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Yes, they SHOULD, although I guess it's not their fault there was a fire. They can bill the buildings insurance
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:50:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I love how the sheep LET the bunny herd them. I mean, I know sheep are herd animals, so it's more or less instinctual to stick together, but that bun is smaller than they are by at least a factor of ten!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:51:10 PM EDT] <Revanne> My DH who knows about such things says that the railway will be able to claim from the warehouse insurance
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:51:28 PM EDT] <Shiral> At least Delta Airlines helped the people on the cancelled flight I was on find a room. It was a pretty hilarious motel---kinda like what would happen if you had a Travelodge in Rhemuth
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:51:28 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Corgi's are small, too, and they successfully herd.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:51:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, that's right, Revanne, your DH is a big railway/train fan!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:51:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Now I want to know what a Travelodge in Rhemuth would look like!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:52:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> Me too
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:52:14 PM EDT] <Revanne> Me too
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:52:16 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Ye Olde Travel Lodge
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:52:18 PM EDT] <Demercia> or to try to get home. There was a bus past the problem but by the time I was able to reconnect with a train it was too late to get all the way home. Those who were nearer or who lived on a main line should have been okay.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:52:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:52:36 PM EDT] <Shiral> Cheap and cheesy Castle-ish Olde England look
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:52:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh boy
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:53:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> Not Tudor styling then.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:53:31 PM EDT] <Demercia> mock Tudor maybe.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:53:37 PM EDT] <Shiral> Not as Henry VIII would recognize it, but I think that was the look they were trying for
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:53:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:53:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Neo-half-timbered? :D
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:54:03 PM EDT] <Shiral> And failing at rather badly. Or maybe instead of Travelodge, I mean Motel 6
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:54:04 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Who was the last Tudor King?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:54:18 PM EDT] <Revanne> Elizabeth I
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:54:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Elizabeth I was the last Tudor monarch.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:54:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Her younger brother, Edward VII was the last Tudor king.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:54:32 PM EDT] <JudyWard> OK, couldn't remember who was after her
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:54:43 PM EDT] <Shiral> James of Scotland
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:54:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> James VI of Scotland, I of England, her cousin
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:54:57 PM EDT] <Revanne> Edward VI, DR
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:55:03 PM EDT] <JudyWard> What was the surname with James?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:55:09 PM EDT] <Shiral> Stuart
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:55:15 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Did I mention there was a pop quiz?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:55:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh drat, I was mixing up numbers.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:55:20 PM EDT] <Demercia> that reminds me of a lovely 17th century coaching inn I stayed in where they told me they had had a bad trip adviser review because they didn't compare with Premier Inn!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:55:26 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oh, Stuart! That's right.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:55:31 PM EDT] <Shiral> I hope you've all been studying your English History.....
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:55:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> James' grandmother was Henry VIII's sister Margaret (I think).
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:55:51 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Complicated
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:55:57 PM EDT] <Revanne> Stewart until they got posh and french
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:56:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Old Hal had two sisters, but I think it was Margaret who married James (IV? V?) of Scotland.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:56:26 PM EDT] <Shiral> I think I'd better feed the Pgygmy Lions. They've taken over my art table and MY little Tudor Castle bits have been taken hostage
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:56:32 PM EDT] <Shiral> BRB
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:56:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah the "Stuart" spelling was mostly Mary Queen of Scots' doing.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:56:47 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Avast ye cats!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:57:05 PM EDT] <Demercia> yes it was. Mary married the king of France and then after he died ran off with the Dukevof Suffolk who came to fetch her home.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:57:36 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oooo! Scandal!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:58:24 PM EDT] <Demercia> which is how Lady Jane Grey came into the picture and had a claim to the throne.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:58:29 PM EDT] <Revanne> Compared to her brother quite restrained really
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:58:36 PM EDT] <Demercia> i think she was their granddaughter
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [5:59:43 PM EDT] <Laurna> Tell me, ladies. you you have to learn all the monarchs in grade school. or is it just fun facts to follow later in llife.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:00:15 PM EDT] <Demercia> grade school.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:00:16 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Many more people to remember than we have on this side of the pond.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:00:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> I could not imagine being tested about who was who and who was when.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:01:08 PM EDT] <JudyWard> At least some of it was interesting.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:01:10 PM EDT] <Revanne> I vaguely think that we did learn them in school but that's so long ago I can't remember.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:01:10 PM EDT] <Shiral> Back
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:01:18 PM EDT] <Demercia> Just make it up with confidence
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:01:32 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Re-hi Shiral
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:01:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Google it, these days. :D
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:01:40 PM EDT] <Jemler> the heirs to the throne in order I believe: Charles, William, George, Charlotte, Henry.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:01:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> Tell me about it. I can not remmeber grade school much either.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:02:09 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I think that's right.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:02:14 PM EDT] <Bee> One of my fvorite books is a comic take on English history called "1066 and All That."
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:02:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I try not to remember too much of elementary or middle school, and honestly a fairish amount of high school. University was where it's at!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:02:19 PM EDT] <JudyWard> The Heir and a spare
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:02:24 PM EDT] <Jemler> i can't remember my second grade teacher. i remember the rest.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:02:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> So is it to be a boy or a girl, what is the consensus in England.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:02:36 PM EDT] <Revanne> You missed ? after Chatlotte.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:02:53 PM EDT] <Revanne> One ir the other.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:02:54 PM EDT] <Jemler> not born yet, no name.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:02:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not counting heirs as yet unborn? :D
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:03:19 PM EDT] <Revanne> We're a bit distracted by a wedding.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:03:20 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Harry will be off the hook after the new baby comes.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:03:20 PM EDT] <Bee> The new baby will follow Chralotte and precede Harry.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:03:55 PM EDT] <Revanne> It always seems weird to see Harry given his full name.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:04:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, basically nobody calls him that.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:04:18 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I know. It took me a minute to realize Harry was Henry.

[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:04:40 PM EDT] <Jemler> hi widowson.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:04:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Maybe his mum when she was still living and when she was annoyed with him, or his nanny, or possibly his Gran if she were sufficiently peeved.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:04:45 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi WidowSon
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:04:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi WidowSon
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:04:55 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Hi, WidowSon. Mason?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:00 PM EDT] <Jemler> let's just call harry, hank.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Gah, no!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:07 PM EDT] <Revanne> I saw a memorial in London that was unveiled by HRH prince Henry of Wales and I thiught "Who?"
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:10 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Harry is much better than Hank
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:20 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I got your directions! 🙏
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:24 PM EDT] <WidowSon> thanks
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:31 PM EDT] <Demercia> welcome
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Welcome to chat, WidowSon!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:42 PM EDT] <Revanne> Welcome
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:48 PM EDT] <Jemler> friend of your, judy?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:51 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hello WidowSon
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:05:58 PM EDT] <JudyWard> No, just asking
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:06:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The name WidowSon could theoretically be a Masonic reference. :D
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:06:24 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Lou's dad was one of the Shriners
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:06:32 PM EDT] <KK> He is. Long time, no see, friend.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:06:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My bio-father and his father were both Scottish Rite.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:06:40 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I just finished reading the passage in Deryni Rising where Morgan Showed Kelson the hidden door to the square across from the cathedral
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:07:13 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Secret doors & passages are alsway fun
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:07:28 PM EDT] <WidowSon> yes I'm a Master Mason and a 32 nd Degree Scottish Rite and Royal Arch Yourk Rite Freemason
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:07:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Awesome!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:07:40 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Wow!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:07:54 PM EDT] <Demercia> i had forgotten that bit.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:07:54 PM EDT] <JudyWard> That takes some doing!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:07:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I suppose I could apply to the OES, but I doubt I have the $$ for dues and activities.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:08:18 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Lou was never interested in it.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:08:39 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I joined when I was 26 now im 51......getting old LOL
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:08:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I love the Shriners. They're raucous sometimes, but they'll do any damn fool thing if it raises money for those hospitals!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:09:04 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Would there have been Masons in Kelson's time?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:09:06 PM EDT] <WidowSon> i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:09:11 PM EDT] <Demercia> 51 isn't old
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:09:26 PM EDT] <WidowSon> LOL! Exactly!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:09:32 PM EDT] <JudyWard> You're just a whipper snapper!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:09:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Possibly, JudyWard. The concept came from the Freemasons' Guilds of the medieval period, so maybe not in the same way as today, but the roots of it.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:09:44 PM EDT] <Revanne> Ditto what Dermercia said.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:09:49 PM EDT] <WidowSon> KK im your almost Cousin [name redacted for privacy]!!!!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:10:06 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Is KK gonna be on?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:10:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You're only nine years older than I am, WidowSon! That's not old.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:10:12 PM EDT] <JudyWard> She's here
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:10:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She's here; she's probably either just being quiet or composing a message. :D
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:10:37 PM EDT] <JudyWard> You're younger than my youngest brother.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:10:46 PM EDT] <Jemler> The 43rd Annual Convention of Grand Mystic Royal Order of the Nobles of the Ali Baba Temple of the Shrine.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:10:57 PM EDT] <WidowSon> maybe you remember me KK. We haven't corresponded in a while
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:11:01 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Wow! What's that???
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:11:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> JudyWard, Jemler made a reference to a very silly song by Ray Stevens.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:11:29 PM EDT] <KK> Probably not Masons as we know them. She's composing messages. WidowSon, you're using the same handle as another fan who occasionally comes to chat.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:11:30 PM EDT] <Jemler> a song by ray stephens called 'the shriners cinvention'
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:11:31 PM EDT] <WidowSon> love that song
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:11:33 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oh, OK. I'll have to look it up.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:11:53 PM EDT] <Revanne> I'm going to say goodnight as I'm getting too tired to read my phone screen.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:11:59 PM EDT] <KK> But my Almost Cousin Jeff Carter is also most welcome!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:11:59 PM EDT] <WidowSon> ahhhh maybe I should change mine
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, g'night, Revanne.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:05 PM EDT] <JudyWard> 'Night Revanne!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:11 PM EDT] <KK> How're the Big Cats?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:15 PM EDT] <Bee> nighters, Revanne
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:16 PM EDT] <WidowSon> thanks KK I hope your well
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:18 PM EDT] <Demercia> the cat is now trying the assertive purring approach and it's gone 11 so I will say goodnight. Thanks for early chat and see you in May.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:30 PM EDT] <Revanne> Thanks for the company KK and everyone.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, g'night to you (and B), too, Demercia!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:32 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters, Demercia.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:36 PM EDT] <Bee> and nighters to you, Demercia
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:42 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Night Demercia
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:43 PM EDT] <WidowSon> theyre great. But I'm not at the zoo for 10 years now
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:12:53 PM EDT] Quit Revanne (Revanne@842092.C19ECF.762609.77F14E) has left this server (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client).
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:13:07 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oh, you did big cats? They are so fascinating!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:13:07 PM EDT] <KK> Wow, it's beena a while, hasn't it? What are you doing now?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:13:12 PM EDT] Part Demercia (Demercia@OWIRCN-5e9b678a.static.as9105.net) has left this channel.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:13:13 PM EDT] <Shiral> Oops, missed Demercia

[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:13:23 PM EDT] <Shiral> And Revanne.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:13:29 PM EDT] <WidowSon> i am natural resources Stewardship coordinator at the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve now.....I'm a wetlands Ecologist!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:13:33 PM EDT] <KK> He was involved with FLorida panthers, as I recall.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:13:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oopps I missed the gals
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:13:59 PM EDT] <KK> Wow, where is Rookery Bay?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:14:01 PM EDT] <WidowSon> yes I was and still am......lathers are awesome
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:14:06 PM EDT] <JudyWard> We have a Wetlands eagle nest group here in TX, near Dallas
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:14:18 PM EDT] <WidowSon> in Collier County Naples FL
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:14:36 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, same general area, then.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:14:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, another Floridian! Hi from up in Jax, where the map says Florida but the culture says southern Georgia! :D
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:14:44 PM EDT] <WidowSon> TX is beautiful
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:15:00 PM EDT] <WidowSon> yes I'm from Waycross Ga
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:15:07 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Yes it is , thanks! I'm originally from Tallahassee
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:15:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My parents are going to Austin and San Antonio next weekend (to stay for two weeks).
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:15:30 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Theyll love it Desert Rose
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:15:30 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oh, that will be fun! Wish you could come & we could meet up for lunch or dinner.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:15:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I got married in Fairburn while staying in Nahunta, since you know where Waycross is.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:15:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I won't be with them JudyWard.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:16:00 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I know. Sad!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:16:05 PM EDT] <WidowSon> yes same area KK! you and your family should come visit the Reserve !
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:16:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They've been to San Antonio before and loved it; they're checking out Austin for the first time this trip.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:16:55 PM EDT] <KK> Wel, I spent some time down in Broward Co a couple of years agio, when my father passed, but don't have much call to go back now. It's a tempting offer, though.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:17:01 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Austin is a little more weird than SA
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:17:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have a t-shirt they brought me back as a souvenir from the previous San Anton trip; it's bright royal purple and has a very colorful logo that reads, "Fiesta San Antonio" with a lot of fireworks around it.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:17:12 PM EDT] <WidowSon> im writing a book myself now KK! You've inspired me!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:17:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> So is my family, JudyWard. :P
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:17:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I come by my quirkiness right honestly.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:17:31 PM EDT] <JudyWard> LOL! DR
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:17:42 PM EDT] <JudyWard> What kind of a book, WS?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:18:29 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Its bout talking Ravens and Druids and the Tuatha De Danaan!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:18:41 PM EDT] <Bee> cool!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:18:54 PM EDT] <KK> Interesting.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:19:06 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Sounds interesting! I'll have to read it when it comes out. You read Sherrilyn Kenyon?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:19:29 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Its a historically tied tale to the days of the Druids in Europe.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:19:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have a snuggly purry tabby on my lap.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:19:49 PM EDT] <JudyWard> They were interesting people.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:19:50 PM EDT] <WidowSon> KITTY!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:19:57 PM EDT] <KK> We should also compare Carter notes again. I've had the DNA screening done on myself and my mother, though I haven't had time to study the results closely. Still looking for Bentley Frederick Carter.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:20:00 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Carys?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:20:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. Her name is Carys.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:20:50 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I need to get that DNA thing done as well. I'll commit and do it soon!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:20:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Genealogy research can be so interesting.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:21:22 PM EDT] <Jemler> how much does that cost?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:21:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I hit a wall with my several-times-over great-grandfather, who was born in NC in 1814, but I cannot for anything figure out who his parents were.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:21:32 PM EDT] <WidowSon> call me anytime KK..... [phone number redacted for privacy].....would be great to catch up
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:21:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> KK any luck finding your Gwyneed Genealogy programs.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:21:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Depends on which company, Jemle.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:21:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> I admit I have not looked at it for a while myself
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:22:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Be careful with the Ancestry dot com one; the terms and conditions are a bit of an overreach, IMO.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:22:12 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Anywhere from $50 to $100
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:22:28 PM EDT] <Bee> Ancestry .com is about $100, I think. There\s als 23and me.com
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:22:58 PM EDT] <WidowSon> i need to find out which one will give me the best DNA connections to other family members I may not know about ......like possibly KK
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:22:58 PM EDT] * Shiral reaches through and gives the tabby in DR's lap a little ear scritch
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:23:11 PM EDT] <Bee> I ordered a DNA profile once, still waiting.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:23:31 PM EDT] <KK> We did 23 & Me for my mom for Christmas, and Scott's brother & SIL gave us Ancestry.com packets for Christmas for ourselves.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:23:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The thing with the Ancestry one is, unless they've changed the T&C since I last looked, is that they claim fair use of your genetic information and can apply it to any genetic relatives of yours.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:24:01 PM EDT] <KK> It takes about 3-4 months, Bee.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:24:18 PM EDT] <WidowSon> ive Heard the 23 and me was one of the best for reconnecting with unknown family members
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:24:37 PM EDT] <Bee> longer than that. I lost the first packet, sent a replacement, then nothing.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:25:01 PM EDT] <KK> It's worth following up, Bee.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:25:11 PM EDT] <WidowSon> wow 3-4 months......I had no idea so long...
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:25:22 PM EDT] <Bee> I just wnat to know if there\s any truth to the tales of native American ancestry.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:25:28 PM EDT] <JudyWard> There's a line, WS
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:25:46 PM EDT] <Bee> also want to know
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:25:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Also, the testing process itself isn't exactly instantaneous either.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:25:48 PM EDT] <KK> Well, that's the one we got for Mother. It was on sale just before Christmas, too. Then we had to get her to spit, which Southern Ladies do not easily do.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:03 PM EDT] <WidowSon> LMAO,
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, KK! I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen my mom spit.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:10 PM EDT] <WidowSon> thats funny kk
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:20 PM EDT] <JudyWard> LOL! They don't! One of the commercials has a lady saying that.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Maybe after brushing her teeth.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:35 PM EDT] <WidowSon> but they cuss sometimes...lol
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:38 PM EDT] <Jemler> brb
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:38 PM EDT] <Bee> or you can swab your inner cheek.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:46 PM EDT] <KK> Rememebr the scene in Titanic?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:46 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Just nip her toothbrush.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. You REALLY don't want to push my mom to the point that she starts cussing, though.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:26:59 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Yes! Love that movie
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:27:05 PM EDT] <Bee> never seen Titanic
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:27:19 PM EDT] <WidowSon> you must remedy that bee
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:27:20 PM EDT] <KK> It's very good, Bee. YOu must see it.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:27:30 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I've seen bits of it but not the whole movie.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:27:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It gives me the willies as does the song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and the movie "The Perfect Storm." I don't know why, but the concept of dying in cold water creeps me right on out.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:27:58 PM EDT] <KK> It's worth watching from start to finish, in one sitting.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:28:05 PM EDT] <Bee> maybe it it's on tv again. \Movie theaters cost too much these dys.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:28:07 PM EDT] <Jemler> spoiler alert! the ship sinks.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:28:09 PM EDT] <WidowSon> yup I agree with kk
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:28:26 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Jemler! LOL!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:28:26 PM EDT] <WidowSon> lol! WHAT? The ship sinks?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:28:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's a good movie; I just can't with the post collision bits.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:28:32 PM EDT] <Jemler> :)
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:28:36 PM EDT] <bynw> Titanic was a great data movie when it first came out
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:28:46 PM EDT] <KK> Actually, dying in cold water is one of the better ways, if you have to die from unnatural causes.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:29:03 PM EDT] <WidowSon> yup......you just slowly go to sleep
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:29:05 PM EDT] <JudyWard> You kind of just go to sleep, don't you?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:29:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, hypothermia usually means you fall asleep before you die.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:29:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But keep in mind, I'm Arizona-born and have lived most of my life either there or on the Southeastern US Coast. I don't do cold well, preferably not at all.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:29:50 PM EDT] <WidowSon> my little maincoon Luca is wondering what I'm typing so fast
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:29:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Luca!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:04 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Ah, you have a cat!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:04 PM EDT] <bynw> DesertRose, so you just have to visit me in the summer
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Little? Kitten?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:09 PM EDT] <KK> Little and Maine Coon? Isn
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:11 PM EDT] <WidowSon> sge says hi all
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:20 PM EDT] <KK> 't that an oxymoron?
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:24 PM EDT] <WidowSon> shes not a year old yet
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:33 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oh, she IS a kitten!
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> So she'll likely not stay little long! :D
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:38 PM EDT] <WidowSon> yup
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:54 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I've seen smaller dogs than Maine Coons.
[Sunday, April 8, 2018] [6:30:55 PM EDT] <KK> Ah. And she's a girl. She'll still be big by regular cat standards.

"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.)
