[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:06:26 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Hi DR & Judy
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:06:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:06:30 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:06:35 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, folks.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:06:42 PM EDT] <JudyWard> It's the legal limit on some Texas freeways (and tolls.)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:06:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> How's your week been?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:06:53 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Hi, KK, how are you?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:07:05 PM EDT] <jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:07:07 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Eyikl and KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:07:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (We were talking about cars and driving, KK, just so JudyWard's comment seems less out of left field.)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:07:22 PM EDT] <jemler> hi eyikl
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:07:49 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Hi
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:08:06 PM EDT] Join The_Bee (The_Bee@OWIRCN-8d9cb0f2.ma.comcast.net) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:08:22 PM EDT] <KK> Alas, it was interesting in the Chinese sense. My mom had a mini-stroke on Wednesday and was in the hospital for f days; came home yesterday. Doing fine butr it was a bit...tense.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:08:34 PM EDT] <jemler> hi bee
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:08:35 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Hi, Bee
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:08:38 PM EDT] <Eyikl> hi Bee
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:08:50 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oh, sorry to hear that, KK!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:08:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee, yikes KK!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:08:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi all. Is your mom going to be okay, KK?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:08:58 PM EDT] <jemler> a BIT tense?!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:09:15 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Sorry to hear that KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:09:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm glad she's home and (hopefully) reasonably okay.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:09:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Wa it what they call a TIA?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:10:33 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, she's fine for 93. They're going to send physio and occupational therapy for a few weeks. We had a choice of rehab or home, so I chose home. She'll certainly be happier there.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:10:42 PM EDT] <IIsi50MHz> Ick. Transient Ischaemic Attack.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:10:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, I imagine. Nobody likes to be in the hospital or in a rehab facility.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:10:50 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Yes, much happier.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:10:55 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, a TIA.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:11:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I just texted Evie. She's on the way home from an SCA event, so she may show up before chat is done.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:11:29 PM EDT] <JudyWard> My Grandmother had them & always a bit worse after a new one.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:11:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My mon had a TIA.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:12:13 PM EDT] <IIsi50MHz> Same for my gran, JudyWard.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:12:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> It can be an early warning.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:12:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My grandmother had to be in a nursing home for a couple of weeks after bypass surgery and she hated every second of being there.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:13:03 PM EDT] <KK> Well, she's had one full-blown stroke, about 8 years ago, and now two minis. Blood pressure seems to be the big factor here. THey've doubled up on several of her meds.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:13:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yikes. I hope the med changes help.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:13:28 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Hope they have her stabilized for now.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:13:57 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Strokes scare me. Moreso than heart attacks.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:14:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They're definitely scary.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:14:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think Therapist Gus needs to spend time with LBM reducing her stress level.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:15:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (which he probably does anyway)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:15:16 PM EDT] <KK> We're past the warning sign now. And sadly, each one does take its toll. But at 93, something is going to get her, sooner or later. I just hope it's quick, when it happens and it's her time to go.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:15:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah. :(
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:15:42 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Yes, better to go all at once.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:15:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My grandmother had a stroke while we were watching President Kennedy's inauguration.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:16:00 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Did it upset her that much?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:16:20 PM EDT] <KK> He was down there this afternoon; is currently on my lap. When she was in rehab several years ago, we took him to visit her 2-3 ties. She loved it, and he was a great hit with all the other patients on that floor.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:16:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Aw! Sweet Gus.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:16:57 PM EDT] <JudyWard> When I had Tsin'tia I we used to do therapy dog visits at a nursing home.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:20:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Therapy critters are awesome.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:20:44 PM EDT] <KK> He'd be good at that, I think. I read somewhere that a shelter was experimenting with taking orphaned kittens to a ursing home, and letting the residents take care of them. Great for kittens and caretakers.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:20:54 PM EDT] <JudyWard> They are. The home we visited was so impressed they got some birds and 2 cats. We had to stop going after they got the cats. 8-(
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:21:37 PM EDT] Join Shiral (~49df776d@OWIRCN-1bdd9d77.org) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:21:50 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Hi, Shiral.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:21:51 PM EDT] <Eyikl> hi Shiral
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:21:51 PM EDT] * Shiral enters chat with a champagne cork pop
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:21:53 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi all
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:21:57 PM EDT] <jemler> hi shiral
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:21:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How did the birds deal wwith the cats?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:22:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:22:10 PM EDT] <JudyWard> The birds were in cages.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:22:47 PM EDT] * The_Bee channels Tweety and Sylvester.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:23:09 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Shiral
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:23:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:23:50 PM EDT] <Eyikl> That sounds like it might be be a problem if residents or visitors were allergic.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:24:22 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I guess they would not go in rooms where someone was allergic.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:24:28 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi Bynw, DR, Eyikl, Llsi. Jemler, JudyWard, KK and Bee
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:25:01 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Pets are very good for moral.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:25:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> As long as no resident is allergic to cat or dog dander or bird feathers, yes. :D
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:25:30 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Shiral, just telling folks about my mom's mini-stroke on Wednesday. She's home now, doing ok.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:25:33 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Yes
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:26:05 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Good for moral if no one is allergic.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:26:06 PM EDT] <Shiral> Yikes! I'm thankful it was no worse, KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:26:17 PM EDT] <Shiral> And that LBM is home recovering
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:26:26 PM EDT] <KK> So are we all, Shiral.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:26:51 PM EDT] <Shiral> Strokes are no fun, especially not for the patient
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:27:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Aw, speaking of therapy animals, a high school classmate of mine who now works as a veterinary assistant got a new tattoo with paw prints and the text, "I speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves."
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:27:59 PM EDT] <Shiral> I'm late for chat because I was potting plants and lost track of time
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:28:05 PM EDT] <JudyWard> That's a nice tat
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:28:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I thought so.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:28:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Shiral, at least you can keep potted plants alive! :D
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:28:41 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I missed the whole chat last week because my brain had a lapse.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:29:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, speaking of chat housekeeping, KK, are we on for early chat next week, and do we need to bump September early chat to the 9th since the 2nd will be Dragon*Con weekend?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:29:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I have a habit of buying plants on-line and then neglecting them once they arive.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:29:35 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Lou calls them "brain f**ts
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:29:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Shoot, not next week, week after next.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:29:39 PM EDT] <Shiral> I went to the nursery to replace a begonia that had died. I don't know how it happened, but I also came home with a new little fuschia, another gardenia and the pots and hangers I needed, plus a bag of potting soil
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:29:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Nex week is July 29.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:30:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I may miss next week's chat, which is why I was thinking about August early chat.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:30:25 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I love gardenias. Can't keep 'em alive, though.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:30:37 PM EDT] <Shiral> Well, you know what happens to people who miss chat, DR.....
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:30:46 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Whatcha doing next week, DR?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:31:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's hard to explain, but I have another gathering to attend at 6 pm Eastern that may not be over before chat starts.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:31:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Gardenias played a big part in my parents' courtship.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:31:17 PM EDT] <Shiral> JudyWard my love of gardenias and my determination to grow them are only inspired by my lousy success rate at keeping them alive.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:31:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They miss chat, Shiral?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:31:42 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Maybe I should try harder. They smell soooooo goood!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:31:47 PM EDT] <Shiral> I absolutely LOVE the way they smell, but perhaps I don't have a warm enough spot for them.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:31:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or am I going to be covered in boiling oil through the portcullis like a spammer? :P
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:32:06 PM EDT] <Shiral> Well, you also miss the virtual tea, scones, and strawberries
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:32:09 PM EDT] <KK> Early chat on August 5, and move September to the 9th.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:32:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:32:10 PM EDT] <JudyWard> All my spots outside are too warm.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:32:14 PM EDT] <Shiral> Oh, that reminds me
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:32:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, cool, KK, thanks.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:32:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Speaking of the virtual tea table, I actually baked banana bread last night, so . . .
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:32:38 PM EDT] * Shiral snaps fingers and stocks the chatroom tea table with tea, scones, cream and strawberries.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:32:38 PM EDT] * DesertRose sets a plate of sliced banana bread on the tea table.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:32:40 PM EDT] <Shiral> Dig in, folks
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:33:11 PM EDT] * jemler sets out caramel stroopwafels
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:33:28 PM EDT] <Shiral> I haven't yet built the portcullis, DR. Too many darn building permits to deal with! And it's SO hard to get a good contractor
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:33:33 PM EDT] <KK> Banana bread--yum!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:33:50 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Love it but it talks back to me

[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:34:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi bynw
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:34:59 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Are there any lemon-blueberry scones?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:35:01 PM EDT] <KK> But it has to have nuts.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:35:01 PM EDT] <bynw> hi again
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:35:12 PM EDT] * Shiral snaps fingers.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:35:15 PM EDT] <Shiral> There are,now
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:35:22 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Thanks!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:35:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, since it's magic chat banana bread, your slice will have nuts or not, depending upon your preferences. :D
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:35:37 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Oh good
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:35:39 PM EDT] <Shiral> Virtual food is so obliging
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:35:41 PM EDT] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:35:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. :)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:36:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, and there's also fudge brownie gelato, although I don't recommend putting it ON the banana bread.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:36:28 PM EDT] * Shiral makes a beeline for the Gelato
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:36:49 PM EDT] <Shiral> Wish I had some of the real stuff in my freezer!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:37:06 PM EDT] <Eyikl> I could see that being tasty, with the right proportions.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:37:07 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Me, too!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:37:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'd been craving ice cream or something along those lines for a while, and Publix had the Talenti brand gelato on sale this week, so I grabbed a pint, because I didn't want a big container of it. (They also had Blue Bell half gallon ice cream on sale, but I didn't want THAT much!)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:37:35 PM EDT] <Shiral> Dmitri has arrived to say hello. He sends his healing purrs to LBM, KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:37:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Banans dipped in chocolate can be yummy.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:37:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Dmitri.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:37:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Last I checked, Carys was snoozing on my bed.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:03 PM EDT] * The_Bee skritches Dmitri.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:14 PM EDT] <JudyWard> You have Blue Bell now?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:21 PM EDT] <Shiral> "Oh Gosh darn, they only have a half gallon size. I guess I'll have to be brave....."
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:25 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Hi Dmitri
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> https://www.instagram.com/p/BlgI6XggcBK
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:36 PM EDT] <Shiral> (I usually only buy pints, too.)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:40 PM EDT] <Eyikl> hi Dimitir
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Layla the Holy Terror/Kitten using me for a nap spot yesterday when I did my laundry.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:55 PM EDT] <Shiral> I'm not sure, but I know we have Talenti
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:58 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Oh, too cute, DR
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:38:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup, we've had Blue Bell here in Florida for a while.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:39:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I presume melantha's around somewhere. I just picked up some thyroid medicine for her.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:39:08 PM EDT] <Shiral> Which I think they should just call Tempti
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:39:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My mother is tickled to pieces that Layla is a lap cat.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:39:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> PJ is standoffish, and Merlin is a mean kitty.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:40:07 PM EDT] <Shiral> I washed my sheets on Friday, which meant dislodging His Majesty who was MOST displeased.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:40:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Catarina and Roxanne were lap cats only in their later years.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:41:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Roxanne really should have been one earlier, but she had, to borrow a phrase from revanne, "so much heart, no room for brains," and didn't figure out until she was at least ten years old that if she stood on someone's lap, she would be petted.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:41:28 PM EDT] <bynw> my begals aren't lap cats except when they want to be
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:41:31 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Better late than never!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:41:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:41:47 PM EDT] <Shiral> You turned your cats into Bagels, Bynw???
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:41:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys is a lap cat, whether I want her to be or not!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:42:02 PM EDT] <bynw> lol
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:42:03 PM EDT] <Shiral> Oh never mind, you meant Bengals. =o)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:42:16 PM EDT] <bynw> even get typ0s when using a computer
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:42:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> "Personal space? Whyever does a human need that?"
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:42:34 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Yeah Lucinda's only became a lap cat as she got old.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:42:35 PM EDT] <Shiral> Tati is affectionate until I pick her up at which point she turns into a world-champion squirmer.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:42:57 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Some just don't want to be picked up.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:43:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Roxie was like that. She'd consent to be petted all day and all night, but for heaven's sake, don't pick her up!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:43:27 PM EDT] <Shiral> She's one of them, although she's willing to be a lap kitty when it's HER idea
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:43:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Of course.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:43:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Melantha will climb in my lap, but doesn't want to be picked up.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:43:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> To quote George Carlin, "I meant to do that, I meant to do that."
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:44:00 PM EDT] <Shiral> She's also given to rushing into a room, then flopping down on the floor and rolling around ecstatically
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:44:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (Although that line was in reference to a cat running into a sliding-glass door.)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:44:25 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Ouch.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:44:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> "Something break? Ask the dog!"
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:44:39 PM EDT] <JudyWard> I've seen a lot of those cat moments over the years.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:44:46 PM EDT] <KK> Gus is a world-class lap cat. Sasha will get on your lap for about 5 min., then moves on; I think it gets too warm for him. Nicholas occasionally will grace us lap-wise, but he's too old and arthritic for it to be very comfortable for him, I thin.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:44:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Aw, poor Nicholas.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:45:01 PM EDT] <Shiral> Whenever I read the Paper, Dmitri becomes very interested in the news. =o)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:45:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, of course.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:45:21 PM EDT] <Eyikl> My greyhounds broke a screen door by running though it, once or twice.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:45:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If I try to read, Carys must immediately get in my face, because nothing in the world could possibly be more interesting than petting her.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:45:39 PM EDT] <Shiral> He HAS to have me rub the top of his head RIGHT then
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:45:47 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Asa ran through a sliding glass door once. He didn't know I closed it.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:45:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, greyhounds can get a lot of momentum going.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:03 PM EDT] <KK> Scott is convinced that cats read things by sitting on them, so that's why they do it.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> From what I've seen, though, greys are lazy as heck when they're not running.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:24 PM EDT] <bynw> cats are like Deryni, they dont have to open it to read it
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's a good theory, actually, KK! :D
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:31 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Maybe that's how they do read.

[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Evie
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:42 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi Evie
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:43 PM EDT] <Evie> Hello
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:44 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Hi, Evie!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:51 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Evie
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Evie! You made it!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:46:57 PM EDT] <Evie> Yep!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:47:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (I let folks know you were on the way back from an SCA event.)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:47:07 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Yeah, they're fine to lie around all day once they have their five minutes of zooms
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:47:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> So how was RUM?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:47:29 PM EDT] <Eyikl> hi Evie
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:47:32 PM EDT] <Shiral> Dmitri and I are engaged in a fight over the left hand end of my keyboard
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:47:38 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Rum is best in Cokes.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:47:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, JudyWard. In this case, I meant Royal University of Meridies, the SCA event in question.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:48:05 PM EDT] <JudyWard> LOL!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:48:43 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Yeah, I can't imagine anyone finding a Coke big enough for that RUM
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:48:48 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, cool. We used to have University Caidis, and I loved it. That's how I discovered counted cross-stitch.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:48:49 PM EDT] <Evie> Had an amazing event. We had 436 people turn out for it, I think, which broke records. It was a combined Royal University of Meridies + Fighters' Collegium (we ended up combining events after a tornado destroyed the original planned RUM site), but we had more at this event than the combined total
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:48:49 PM EDT] <Evie> of either of those events in previous years
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:48:52 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Too hot to have events here right now.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:48:53 PM EDT] <Shiral> It's also pretty good in daiquiris
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:49:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, being an SCA event, I wouldn't put it past some SCA folks!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:49:03 PM EDT] <Shiral> Rumm that is
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:49:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, this is the dead time of the year in Trimaris too. It's just too hot to camp.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:49:26 PM EDT] <Evie> No alcohol at the event, I don't think, but certainly it was at the after-party.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:49:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Dry site?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:49:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, and then there's the "most people don't start drinking booze until after feast" bit. :D
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:50:15 PM EDT] <Evie> Probably. It was in a city park and right next door to a polling place where voting was going on. But that meant we attracted lots of folks who wandered over to see what the folks in costume were up to.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:50:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cool!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:50:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The news mentioned a tornado in Alabama. Was that yours. Evie?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:50:27 PM EDT] <Evie> And some were really intrigued and wanted to know more
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:50:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:50:56 PM EDT] <bynw> tornados suck
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:50:56 PM EDT] <KK> Actually, on further reflection, I think it was Collegium Caidis.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:51:09 PM EDT] <Evie> No, the tornado that trashed the original RUM site we'd planned on using was the one that went through Jacksonville State's campus back in March or so.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:51:25 PM EDT] <Evie> We had planned on holding the event there
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:51:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, at least there was enough lead time to move the event.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:52:04 PM EDT] <Evie> but once we lost that site, the person who was in charge of the event got together with the guy planning Fighter's Collegium, and we decided to combine the two events
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:52:22 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Sounds like it was a good combination.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:52:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We had to cancel one last year because Irma damaged the site too badly to use any time soon, so now we're just resubmitting the bid for the same event this year with most of the staff from last year's bid.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:52:36 PM EDT] <Shiral> `1
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:52:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Dmitri typing, Shiral?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:52:48 PM EDT] <Shiral> yup
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:52:58 PM EDT] <Evie> And several groups pitched in to help with various parts of it, but unlike most things planned "by committee," we managed to pull together well and turn this into a historic, record-breaking turnout and a smoothly running event. Miracles happen! :-D
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:53:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:53:11 PM EDT] <Shiral> He just did that little shoulder roll that cats do, right onto the keyboard
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:53:12 PM EDT] <Eyikl> :)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:53:51 PM EDT] <Evie> Was there a tornado in Alabama this weekend? I haven't caught the news yet, and the bad storm we thought was moving in went south of us
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:53:53 PM EDT] <KK> Glad it went so well, Evie.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:53:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That same site that was damaged by Irma last year is a YMCA camp, and they just had their Medieval Week for the kid-campers, with which we (Castlemere/Jacksonville) and the group in Gainesville (An Crosaire) helped.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:54:02 PM EDT] <bynw> https://weather.com/safety/tornado/news/2018-07-19-severe-storms-tornado-damage-midwest
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:54:06 PM EDT] <Evie> (Since we were in TN at the time)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:55:12 PM EDT] <Evie> We got to our AirBnB just before the storms were supposed to move into our area...and we waited...and waited...and might have got a bit of rain in the middle of the night, but that was about it. But I heard later that it veered south of where we were.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:55:46 PM EDT] <JudyWard> That' was good!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:56:17 PM EDT] <Evie> Impressive, bynw. Was that near you?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:56:33 PM EDT] <KK> Wow, scary videos.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:56:48 PM EDT] <Shiral> i think I'll stick with Earthquakes, thanks
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:57:34 PM EDT] <bynw> bonderant is just on the northeast side of des moines, not far at all and both pella and marshaltown are within an hours drive
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:57:37 PM EDT] <KK> Much scarier than hurricanes.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:58:16 PM EDT] <Shiral> Nope I don't really want to live in Tornado country
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:58:44 PM EDT] <Evie> I dunno, it's harder to avoid getting hit by a hurricane
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:58:57 PM EDT] <Evie> Without driving a few hundred miles, that is
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:58:59 PM EDT] <KK> But at least you know the hurricane is coming.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:59:11 PM EDT] <Evie> We usually know when a tornado is also, these days
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:59:14 PM EDT] <KK> Sometimes days in advance.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:59:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Years aago I reaad an article on how to turn your tv into a tornaado detecter.. \\i don't think it wooould work on madern TVs
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:59:35 PM EDT] <bynw> we had no idea about those that hit on the 19th though ...
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [7:59:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You learn to cope with whatever natural disaster happens where you live.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:00:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> In South Carolina and Florida, that's mostly hurricanes. In Phoenix, it was dust storms.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:00:04 PM EDT] <Evie> OK, granted we don't get several days' notice, except that we more often than not have some clue if a storm moving in is more or less likely to spawn severe weather of some sort.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:00:11 PM EDT] <bynw> and we get minor tremors every now and again most aren't really felt ... last major quake we had in iowa was 1802ish
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:00:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Here it's nor'easters.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:00:31 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Gotta go feed Lou. KK, hope your mother is better and hope everyone has a good week. It's down to 104 now here.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:00:45 PM EDT] <KK> I suppose so. And odd things happen anyway. When we moved to Virginia, we thought we were done with earthquakes and hurricanes. We've had both.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:00:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> bye, Judy
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:00:53 PM EDT] <Shiral> Oy, Judy, SOunds like it was a hot one
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:00:59 PM EDT] <Evie> That reminds me, I woke up at 4:30 Saturday morning due to something I could have sworn was a tremor, though maybe I wasn't because I haven't found anything online about a tremor that would have affected north-central TN.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:01:07 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Goodnight JudyWard
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:01:10 PM EDT] <Shiral> Bye, Judy
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:01:11 PM EDT] <Evie> Bye Judy
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:01:12 PM EDT] <JudyWard> Was 108 when we started, or 107

[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:01:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:02:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And I missed JudyWard. Drat.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:02:07 PM EDT] <Evie> Oh, looks like the tornado was in Opelika! No, that's a good way from where I live, but it's practically next door to Auburn University
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:02:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That was how I coped in Arizona, Shiral.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:02:10 PM EDT] <KK> Yike, we're cool here today, with rain expected over the next 2-3 days. Anna said it was 115 in Norman, OK yesterday. Yuck!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:02:22 PM EDT] <jemler> hi jerusha
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:02:37 PM EDT] <Shiral> Yeesh
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:02:37 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi Everyone! Sorry to be late.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:02:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's been markedly cool for Florida in July. I don't think the actual temperature broke 80 by much today (although the heat index probably exceeded it by a good bit).
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:02:57 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:03:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The downside of submerging myself in swimming pools as much as possible in the Arizona sun is that I have to see the dermatologist every six months for a skin check. :(
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:03:53 PM EDT] <Jerusha> We have been very warm until today. And finally some rain
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:04:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys says hi
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:04:30 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi Carys
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:04:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She purrs at y'all.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:04:51 PM EDT] <Evie> Hi Carys!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:05:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My Southern kitty, who licks ice chips.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:05:13 PM EDT] <Shiral> Evidently Dmitri wants to be close to me, but is not in a mood to be touched. He's being grumpy and growly and makes motions as if to bite
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:05:17 PM EDT] <bynw> well there are 2 of my players here :)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:05:21 PM EDT] <Eyikl> Hi Carys
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:05:24 PM EDT] * The_Bee head=scritches Carys.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:05:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My fridge doesn't have an icemaker, so I have ice trays, and of course, they don't always release the ice cubes neatly, so she likes me to drop the broken bits of ice onto the floor so she can lick them.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:05:37 PM EDT] * Shiral scritches Carys too.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:05:45 PM EDT] <Shiral> Wow...that really stretches my arm....
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:05:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys accepts all scritches and purrs at everyone.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:06:03 PM EDT] <KK> Booker likes to chase ice cubes on the floor, crunches them.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:06:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, I bet that's funny to watch, KK!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:06:23 PM EDT] <Jerusha> We had the grand puppies and MIL's puppies here tonight for family dinner
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:06:26 PM EDT] <Shiral> When it's hot, I put an ice cube in the cat's water dish
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:06:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys gets disappointed if the ice trays release the cubes neatly and I have to apologize to her for the lack of ice chips.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:06:54 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, ice hockey on the kitchen floor.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:06:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Uh oh!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:07:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Just don't you or Scott or anyone else slip!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:07:13 PM EDT] <Shiral> Pretty literal ice hockey too!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:07:23 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Go back for a long shot
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:07:25 PM EDT] <KK> An ice cube doesn't last long, believe me!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:07:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, I bet no!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:07:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> *not
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:07:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sorry, incapussitated typist. :D
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:07:41 PM EDT] <Shiral> Not with attentive doggies around
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:08:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My mother hasn't had a pet dog since I was three years old, and she still says, "Damn, I wish I had a dog" every time she drops something on the floor while cooking.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:08:23 PM EDT] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:08:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (Except for the Great Thermal Shock Incident of Thanksgiving 2015, because in addition to turkey broth, there was also broken glass on the floor.)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:09:02 PM EDT] <Jerusha> There is nothing like attentive faces waiting for a mishap
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:09:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Every time I go to type the word "broth," some part of my brain thinks I mean "brother."
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:09:55 PM EDT] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:10:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Although some of us who have brothers would probably call them "turkeys" or worse. ;)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:10:09 PM EDT] <Evie> Let's hope it's not the part of your brain that's cooking!
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:10:09 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Turkey brother?
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:10:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, no cooking my brothers.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:10:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> You've internalized Autocorrect, DR.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:10:53 PM EDT] <Evie> DD once typoed "brother" as "bother," but she says that's not really a typo. :-D
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:10:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They were pains in my neck when I was a little one, but that's in the job description of "older siblings," just like "annoy the daylights out of your sibs" is in the job description of "younger siblings."
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:11:01 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Relish with the right wine😁
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:11:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:11:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If I still had seating for supper, I might invite either or both of my brothers and SILs to supper, but the new place had no space for my dinette set so I had to sell it.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:12:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But I wouldn't cook THEM. Cook FOR them. :D

[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:12:08 PM EDT] <Evie> DH used to use "Turkey" as a joking nickname for his dad, and his dad would call him "Poult" in return
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:12:21 PM EDT] <Shiral> Thank you for the clarification, DR. =o)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:12:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, my stepdad used to do that to me, tell me I was a poult, because I wasn't old enough (at the time) to be a full-grown turkey.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:12:57 PM EDT] <KK> I like that. :-)
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:12:57 PM EDT] <Evie> LOL

[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:13:52 PM EDT] <KK> Well, guys, I gotta dash. Time to get supper going for two hungry people here at Edge Hill.
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:14:04 PM EDT] <Jerusha> You could be a poult-edgiest
[Sunday, July 22, 2018] [8:14:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, g'night, KK and have a good week!

"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.)
