[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:24:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:24:52 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:24:54 PM EDT] <WidowSon> KK!!!!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:24:55 PM EDT] <Shiral> I didn't have any barbecuse sauce on hand, Bee.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:24:58 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:24:59 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:25:02 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Wassup!?!?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:25:03 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:25:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> JudyWard and Jemler send their regards. Evie may or may not make it because she and her daughter are taking Evie's DH out for Father's Day supper.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:25:16 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:25:25 PM EDT] <WidowSon> we have lots of leftovers KK!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:25:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Jemler is having computer issues.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:25:29 PM EDT] * Shiral invites KK to pull up a chair and enjoy our virtual Peking Duck feast
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:25:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And JudyWard just left to attend to supper.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:25:46 PM EDT] <WidowSon> with pancakes as well! Please!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:03 PM EDT] <KK> No problem. I wish I had my dad around, to take out to dinner. Seize the day, people.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And a few shortbread cookies for dessert. (There aren't many left.)
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:09 PM EDT] <Shiral> All fixings necessary for eating Peking Duck
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:17 PM EDT] <KK> Peiking duck? Yum!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:29 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I know KK mine passed away year before last!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:37 PM EDT] <KK> Peing, even.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:43 PM EDT] * Bee sets out glasses of raspberry iced tea.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:45 PM EDT] <KK> Peiking.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:48 PM EDT] <Shiral> I remember the first time I ever had Peking Duck, my Dad took me and my siblings out to have it. I associate Peking Duck with him.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:51 PM EDT] <KK> Peking?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:26:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We took my stepdad out for his (a month belated) birthday and Father's Day on Friday evening.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:27:01 PM EDT] <KK> Rented fingers tonight.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:27:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I finally got to give him the coffee mug.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:27:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It was also technically belated Mother's Day supper for my mom.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:27:17 PM EDT] <WidowSon> good for you DR!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:27:51 PM EDT] <Shiral> We have shortbread cookies for dessert. It's **** your diet day here in chat. =o)
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:27:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:28:33 PM EDT] <WidowSon> You can FORGET a diet in here tonight! LOL
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:28:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> To be fair, WidowSon, you can generally forget about your diet in chat.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:28:54 PM EDT] <KK> DR, how did your shortbread go over at the event?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:29:04 PM EDT] <WidowSon> LM you know what OFF!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:29:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Very often, we have an ice cream sundae bar and sometimes even use ice cream or other treats to call the Quarters.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:29:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Very well. At least one person said she showed up because I'd posted a pic of the container of baked cookies the day before and she wanted some cookies!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:29:32 PM EDT] <Shiral> Today, we tried pizza, just to jazz things up
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:29:38 PM EDT] <WidowSon> DR shared her recipe with me KK!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:29:45 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Cant wait to make some!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:29:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not my recipe, Shiral's!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:30:00 PM EDT] <WidowSon> OH yes.....Shiral's!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:30:28 PM EDT] <KK> Well done, DR! And well done, Shiral, for supplying the recipe.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:30:32 PM EDT] <Shiral> They're excellent with milk, or with hot or iced tea. Or coffee. Or hot chocolate or for that matter...Vin Santo or liquers
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:30:44 PM EDT] <WidowSon> or AIR!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:30:57 PM EDT] <Shiral> I think I can make them under general anesthesia by now
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:31:04 PM EDT] <WidowSon> LOL
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:31:27 PM EDT] <Shiral> So simple, but there's nowhere to hide.

[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:31:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:31:40 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:31:41 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:31:42 PM EDT] <Bee> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:31:45 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:31:47 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:31:48 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:32:14 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Do you bake KK?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:32:31 PM EDT] <KK> I have in the past, but not so much now.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:32:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Jemler is having computer issues, JudyWard had to attend to supper, and Evie may show up later, but she and her daughter are taking Evie's DH out to supper for Father's Day.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:32:35 PM EDT] <Shiral> If we did, she couldn't write any more books
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:32:37 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I love to when I have time!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:32:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Just so people know where some of our usual suspects are.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:32:53 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Forget the baking, then
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:32:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I love to bake when I have people to help eat it.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:33:07 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Yup forget the baking! LOL
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:33:10 PM EDT] <Shiral> I love to bake also. Unfortunately, I also love to EAT what I bake. So.....I don't do it as often as I'd like
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:33:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Living alone except for the cat, baking is hazardous to my waistline unless I have people wanting to help eat the baked goods.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:33:41 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I never seem to have time to bake, these days, and I'm not sure why
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:33:44 PM EDT] <Shiral> My sister loves to bake, but she is one of those people who has no inclination to EAT what she makes.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:33:48 PM EDT] <Bee> I haven't baked for a long time. Most of by cooking is crockpot.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:33:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Slow cookers are fantastic.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:10 PM EDT] <KK> I had a great adventure yesterday. A good friend drove down from DC and we went to Greenbrier to tour the underground bunker built during the cold war. Then we had an elegant tea, and geocached on the way home through back roads in W.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:15 PM EDT] <WidowSon> slow cooker lasagna is the BEST!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That recipe I was talking about a bit ago that was originally for beef short ribs that I modified for chuck roast is a slow cooker recipe.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, cool, KK!

[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:27 PM EDT] <Shiral> Cool, KK
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Goatmistress
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:35 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hello Goatmistress
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:36 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> Hi
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:41 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi Goatmistress
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:45 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Yay! love geocaching!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:52 PM EDT] <Bee> sounds like fun, KK
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:56 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Sounds like you had a blast! KK
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:57 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, Goatmistress.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:34:58 PM EDT] <Shiral> So....I've been wanting to ask--are there real live goats in your life?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:35:05 PM EDT] <Bee> hi Goatmistress
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:35:08 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Hi Goatmistress!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:35:09 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I have forgotten what geocaching is
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:35:18 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> No real goats. Just a name . . .
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:35:30 PM EDT] <Shiral> Sounds like a nice way to spend a Saturday, KK
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:35:39 PM EDT] <KK> It's like an electronic scavenger hunt, and you find the clues via sat nav and smart phones.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:35:50 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Ah, OK
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:35:55 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Im jealous KK....mine was not that fun!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:36:13 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I was thinking fossil finds
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:36:14 PM EDT] <Shiral> I had a nice day painting and gardening, yesterday
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:36:37 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I've been reading and writing!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:36:39 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I assume they were separate activities.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:36:57 PM EDT] <Shiral> Yes
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:37:05 PM EDT] <KK> My friend, Elonka Dunin the cryptographer some of you may know (of), introduced me to the sport a couple of years ago, and it was really fun. y
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:37:08 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Or you may have a very colourful garden!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:37:10 PM EDT] <WidowSon> yes for me too
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:37:21 PM EDT] <Shiral> Painting in the morning, gardening after my back patio had some shady places
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:37:36 PM EDT] <WidowSon> You know the most interesting people KK!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:37:45 PM EDT] <Shiral> Indeed
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:37:58 PM EDT] <Shiral> I've never had tea in an underground bunker
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:38:04 PM EDT] <WidowSon> present chat company included!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:38:41 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I had tea in a cave once! LOL
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:39:17 PM EDT] <KK> One of the caches was in an area off a back road in WV called Beartown, which has a huge boardwalk going through an area seriously eroded into gorges and hidey-holes and the like. We never found that clue--we were running out of light--but it was incredibly beautiiful down there. And somwhow there managed not to be any flying insects, which really surprised me.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:39:51 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Excellent
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:39:56 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Love how the plant habitats change as you go deeper in places like that! wonderful!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:40:13 PM EDT] <Shiral> There are some mosquitoes you have to fight off with a crucifix
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:40:15 PM EDT] <KK> The tea was in one of the incredibly beautiful reception rooms of the hotel; the bunker is underground, and still classified Secret. When it was built, the locals had no idea this was going on right under their noses.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:40:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Tell me about it, Shiral! (re: mosquitoes)
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:40:30 PM EDT] <WidowSon> WOW!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:40:42 PM EDT] <Shiral> Ah, well hotel Tea sounds more appealing. =o)
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:40:58 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Battery powered mosquito rackets are the best invention EVER
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:41:01 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Thats really cool KK
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:41:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I apparently have just exactly the type of blood chemistry mosquitoes (and other bitey annoying insects) ADORE.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:41:22 PM EDT] <KK> It was very tasty. If I could figure out how to get photos out of a text message, I'd post a pic or two.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:41:25 PM EDT] <Shiral> Every time I go camping, I come home with bites. Mosquitoes find me very tasty. Must be the Peking Duck
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:41:56 PM EDT] <WidowSon> yes pics would be magical on here.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:42:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Shiral: Neat trick I got from another SCA person. Buy a box of Bounce regular scent dryer sheets and rub a dryer sheet or several on your skin. The smell apparently repels the mosquitoes.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:42:13 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I don't go camping. It's like hanging out a "dinner is being served" sign
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:42:32 PM EDT] <WidowSon> LOL Jerusha!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:42:37 PM EDT] <Shiral> I gave up camping after High School.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:42:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, if you ever need to be outdoors at dusk, maybe for a wine tasting or something cool like that . . .
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:43:10 PM EDT] <Shiral> True! Thanks, DR
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:43:36 PM EDT] <WidowSon> What's your favorite food KK?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:43:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Because it works. Even at a campground in Florida with a large marshy lake nearby.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:44:03 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I might make myself a Bounce bug shirt
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:44:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose>
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:44:09 PM EDT] <Bee> Does it work on other biting insects?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:44:09 PM EDT] <KK> Main course or dessert?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:44:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Seems to, Bee.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:44:18 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Main course
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:44:33 PM EDT] <KK> Avon Skin-So-Soft is supposed to be good for repelling insects.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:44:51 PM EDT] <WidowSon> only for sand gnats KK
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:44:51 PM EDT] <Jerusha> They now sell it specifically for pets here
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:44:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup, it works too, but some people find the smell of Skin-So-Soft a bit strong; the dryer sheets don't smell as strong.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:45:03 PM EDT] <Shiral> You're on your own when it comes to Alligators, though
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:45:05 PM EDT] <KK> Roast leg of lamb, crispy potatoes, asparagus.... Yum!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:45:07 PM EDT] <WidowSon> it actually attracts skeeters!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:45:17 PM EDT] <Shiral> Good choices, all
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:45:21 PM EDT] <WidowSon> YUM! Lamb!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:45:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, yes, but gators mostly will leave humans alone unless you bother them or you come to close to Mama Gator's nest/babies.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:45:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> *too close
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:45:52 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I just had a WONDERFUL lamb dish at a restaurant called Kareems here in Naples......Delish!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:45:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yum!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:46:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't eat lamb much because it's expensive, but I've had some wonderful lamb dishes at a couple of local Middle Eastern restaurants, and I made a lamb stew for St. Patrick's Day a few years back.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:46:35 PM EDT] <Bee> Indian restaurants have several delish lamb dishes.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:46:38 PM EDT] <bynw> to fight off gators, go for the eyes, you cant open its mouth
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:46:41 PM EDT] <Shiral> Give me a lamb chop and you can obtain quite a bit from me
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:46:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Also colcannon to go with it, and a neighbor (at the time) made Guinness bread bowls for the stew.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:47:08 PM EDT] <Bee> colcannon?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:47:09 PM EDT] <Shiral> I don't ever mean to get THAT close to an alligator if I can help it
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:47:24 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I agree, Shiral
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:47:28 PM EDT] <WidowSon> My fave is a dish from a Mediterranean restaurant here in town......Chicken Liver Oregenato.....braised to perfection with citrus and herbs over Orzo!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:47:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> An Irish dish involving mashed potatoes, ham, and cabbage, which tastes better than it sounds.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:47:49 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I love cabbage!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:48:11 PM EDT] <Shiral> Whether or not I like cabbage depends very much on how it was prepared.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:48:12 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Even better is Rutabagas!mmmmm
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:48:28 PM EDT] <Bee> Did you all see the story about a woman killed by a gator? They found her arm in its stomach.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:48:28 PM EDT] <KK> WS, that sounds delish. Love orzo.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:48:31 PM EDT] <Shiral> But I love green peas
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:48:32 PM EDT] * bynw will have roast beef, potatoes, carrots, all covered in gravy
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:48:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have to be careful with cabbage. I think I don't produce a digestive enzyme, because broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and kale DO NOT settle well on my stomach, and I can have cabbage only every once in a while in small quantities.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:49:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (All those vegetables have been selectively bred for various traits from wild cabbage.)
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:49:18 PM EDT] <Shiral> AND asparagus, and broccolini, and butternut squash. Although not necessarily all at once.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:49:24 PM EDT] <Jerusha> You just eliminated all the vegetables I like best, except for kale
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:49:39 PM EDT] <Bee> I remember cabbage and raisin salads from childhood.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:50:30 PM EDT] <Derynifank> I have a recipe for broccoli and raisin salad
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:50:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I remember a salad involving shredded carrots and raisins.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:50:32 PM EDT] <Shiral> Other than your adventure, have you had a good week, KK?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:50:50 PM EDT] <Shiral> I've had carrot and raisin salad.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:51:40 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Ditto KK hows the week been? I hope smashing good!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:51:47 PM EDT] <Bee> I've taken cabbage and dried cranberry salad to a potluck.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:52:53 PM EDT] <KK> It was a busy week, with lots of appointments for me and for LBM. This week should be a bit better.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:53:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> How is LBM?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:53:02 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Oh, I just got a letter from my Masonic lodge......getting my 25 year service pin!!!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:53:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Congrats, WidowSon!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:53:15 PM EDT] <Bee> How is LBM doing?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:53:23 PM EDT] <Shiral> It's amazing how fast appointments can gobble up your week

[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:54:28 PM EDT] <Bee> Were yoou in DeMolay?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:54:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Aw, sweet Gus.

[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:54:55 PM EDT] <Jerusha> And LBM
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:54:56 PM EDT] <Shiral> Everyone is higher maintenance when they're 93
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:55:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Assuming we get there at all!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:55:24 PM EDT] <Bee> My mom lived to 998.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:55:24 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Tell LBM we send loads of LOVE!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:55:33 PM EDT] <Bee> 98!!!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:55:42 PM EDT] <Shiral> LOL, I wondered, Bee
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:55:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, I was just about to pick on you about that typo, Bee.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:55:52 PM EDT] <KK> I shall tell her.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:55:54 PM EDT] <Jerusha> 998 sounds like Duncan
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:56:09 PM EDT] <Shiral> Duncan hardly looks a day over 800
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:56:09 PM EDT] <WidowSon> My target age is 136!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:56:17 PM EDT] <Bee> My finger has a habit of lingering too long on some keys.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:56:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys says hi.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:56:26 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi Carys
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:56:31 PM EDT] <Shiral> Yes, Our best wishes to LBM
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:56:32 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Howdy Carys! Purrrrrrr
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:56:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She just stretched out on the desk above the keyboard tray.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:56:53 PM EDT] <Shiral> Dmitri just showed up, too
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:57:00 PM EDT] * Bee scritches Carys.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:57:03 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi Dmitri
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:57:07 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Hi Dmitri!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:57:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm annoying her by playing with her toes.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:57:16 PM EDT] <WidowSon> lol
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:57:30 PM EDT] <Shiral> And Tati is showing what an artistic cat she is by lying on my most recent, half-finished painting
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:57:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Because Carys is a VERY laid-back cat, she is merely looking at me like, "Hey, knock it off!" rather than attempting to take a chunk out of my fingers for my presumption.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:57:35 PM EDT] * Bee skritches Dmitri's ears.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:57:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Scritches to Dmitri and Tatiana.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:57:56 PM EDT] <Shiral> Dmitri sends his electronic purrs
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:58:08 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hope the painting is dry, Shiral
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:58:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If not, there are plenty of historical examples of cat artistry.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:58:36 PM EDT] <Shiral> Yes. I stopped working on it over an hour ago. Went for my walk, then had lunch
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:58:44 PM EDT] <Shiral> re3wwwwwwwwwwwwww
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:58:59 PM EDT] <Shiral> That was Dmitri's comment
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:59:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> There's a pretty funny 15th C. manuscript with cat paw prints across it, and another with a curse in Latin on the cat who . . . did something modern cats would generally do in the litter box to the manuscript.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [7:59:14 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Whats your cat's name again KK?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:00:03 PM EDT] <KK> There's Augustus (Gus), Sasha (Alexander Pushkin), and Nicholas.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:00:19 PM EDT] <WidowSon> WOW! 3 like us!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:00:41 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Ours are Aslan, Phoebe, and Luca!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:00:58 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Gotta love them kitties!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:01:17 PM EDT] <Shiral> This is the place for cat lovers and food lovers. =o)
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:01:43 PM EDT] <Bee> and KK lovers
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:01:46 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Dang straight Shiral!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:01:56 PM EDT] <Derynifank> True
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:01:57 PM EDT] <Shiral> Especially that last one, Bee
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:01:59 PM EDT] <WidowSon> KK Lovers most of all!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:02:00 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Some of us do not have cats, but like them anyway
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:02:21 PM EDT] <Shiral> Two out of three isn't bad. =o)
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:02:36 PM EDT] <Jerusha>
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:02:36 PM EDT] <Bee> dog lovers too
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:02:43 PM EDT] <Shiral> definitely
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:02:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup, doggies are good company too.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:02:50 PM EDT] <WidowSon> dogs are fun too!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:03:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys doesn't think so, but in any case, my lease permits only one pet per apartment.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:03:13 PM EDT] <Shiral> fg
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:03:16 PM EDT] <Bee> same wwith me
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:03:18 PM EDT] <KK> Yep, two Bassets ehre: Booker (Bookeroo Banzai) and Warner (Warner Brown Hound).
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:03:35 PM EDT] <Jerusha> One aged whippet
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:03:35 PM EDT] <Shiral> sorry human vs cat territorial battle in progress at my end
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:03:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:03:47 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Who's winning?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:04:10 PM EDT] <Shiral> I think Dmitri is. He's the one with the fangs.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:04:11 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Any possible movie makes in the works KK? Gosh I'd love to see some of your creations come to life on the big screen.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:05:51 PM EDT] <KK> Lammas Night is still optioned, and Deryni Rising had gotten to scropt but then fell out. But we live in hope.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:06:17 PM EDT] <WidowSon> YES HOPE!!! Im sending good vibes!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:06:50 PM EDT] <Bee> both with Sony?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:06:55 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Who do we write letters to re: Lamas night? We need a letter writing campaign STAT!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:07:22 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Im VERY serious by the way.....
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:07:44 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I'll write'em next week!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:07:45 PM EDT] <Shiral> 3q4w
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:07:49 PM EDT] <Shiral> 44444444444444444444444
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:07:51 PM EDT] <KK> DR was with Sony. LN is a new and independent producer who probably won't get it together. But again, we live in hope
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:07:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Jerusha, didn't you have multiple whippets?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:07:54 PM EDT] <WidowSon> what spiral?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think that might be Dmitri typing on Shiral's keyboard.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:06 PM EDT] <Shiral> Dmitri is sending HIS messages
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:15 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Shiral
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:23 PM EDT] <WidowSon> ahhhhhh
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:24 PM EDT] <Jerusha> We only have the one now. Scorch passed due to kidney disease
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose>
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:38 PM EDT] <Bee>
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:38 PM EDT] <Shiral> But he does kind of make a big gray furry snail of himself when he's asleep
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm sorry to hear that, but now you say it, I think you mentioned it before.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:57 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Yup
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:08:59 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Yes, it was early last fall.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:09:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose>
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:09:20 PM EDT] <Jerusha> He's in a much better place now
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:09:22 PM EDT] <Shiral> Kidney disease is very hard. I've lost two kitties to that
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:09:37 PM EDT] <Bee> Melantha's due for her annual ccheckup..
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:09:37 PM EDT] <KK> So sad when our animal companions pass.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:09:39 PM EDT] <Shiral> I know scorch is a dog, but the discomfort must be similar
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:09:52 PM EDT] <Shiral> Their life spans aren't long enough
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:09:56 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Yup.....not easy!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:09:58 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Yes. But may happy memories
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:10:02 PM EDT] <Shiral> Good
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:10:09 PM EDT] <KK> But at least we're blessed with their company while we have them, and they have us.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:10:14 PM EDT] <Shiral> Definitely
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:10:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> https://www.instagram.com/p/BkGXDIhAQc4/
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:10:48 PM EDT] <Shiral> Tati has this funny way of running into a room ahead of me then suddenly flopping down on the carpet and showing her tummy
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:10:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Merlin and Layla.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:10:50 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I do sometimes miss his singing a people walking down the street. They might not miss it, though
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:11:00 PM EDT] <Shiral> She's very good at the Flop'n'roll

[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:12:14 PM EDT] <WidowSon> 2 cookies will do
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:12:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Merlin is a menace, but he is a handsome fellow. Layla is the epitome of "though she be but little, she is fierce."
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:12:20 PM EDT] <WidowSon> later
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:12:20 PM EDT] <Shiral> Okay, here's another!

[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:12:59 PM EDT] <Shiral> oooooo! Lovely tuxedo kitties!
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:13:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She just has no cares to give for the fact that Merlin is about nine times her size.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:13:24 PM EDT] <Bee> BTW, who or what is llsi50MHz?
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:13:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> A gamer person.

[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:13:52 PM EDT] <bynw> er
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:14:12 PM EDT] <Shiral> Tati is always very lively and playful in the morning on the way downstairs to breakfast. Dmitri just stalks along as if to say "Don't bug me until I've had my coffee, kid!"
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:14:18 PM EDT] <Bee> hello, iisi
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:14:20 PM EDT] <Jerusha> It's probably Valerian or Feyd
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:14:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, I'm with Dmitri.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:14:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Do NOT annoy the DesertRose until she is suitably caffeinated.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:14:56 PM EDT] * IIsi50MHz hands out typefaces that don't make l and I ambiguous
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:15:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:15:12 PM EDT] <Shiral> On Sunday mornings, I use my BIG coffee mug so I can have a vat of it while reading the Sunday Paper
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:15:49 PM EDT] <Goatmistress> For a long time, I thought IIsi was Ilsi, like nickname for Ilsa.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:15:54 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:16:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's a trait I apparently inherited from my bio-father; I don't wake up hungry, but give me my caffeine (tea, usually) and no one will get hurt. Breakfast will happen in another hour or so after I'm out of bed and nominally awake.
[Sunday, June 17, 2018] [8:16:08 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Oops, gotta go. Hope everyone has a great week
