KK Chat - June 8, 2003

[17:15] * KK has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:15] <DeryniBot>  Hail and Well met KK
[17:15] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, Katherine!
[17:15] <Shiral> Hello Katherine
[17:15] <Martine> I may feel like an overused bot, but not an
unauthorized one! <g>
[17:15] <kirienne> Hi Katherine
[17:15] <Martine> Hi Katherine!
[17:15] <Wrengl> hi katherine
[17:15] <Shiral> Wow, Martine, what perfect timing you have
[17:15] <jm> HI Katherine
[17:16] <Mariska> Hello Katherine
[17:16] <Dom_Rikart> welcome Katherine
[17:16] <KK> Hello, all.
[17:16] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Greetings, Lady Katherine! :)
[17:16] <Bynw> hiyas Katherine!
[17:16] <TerryOBrien> Good evening, Katherine!
[17:16] <Martine> It's a gift, Shiral. It's Bynw and Tika's gift, but
a gift nonetheless!
[17:16] <Tika> hey KK
[17:16] * Shiral tackle huggles Martine to get back for the last time
she tackled me
[17:16] <Mistyck> hi Martine
[17:16] <Mistyck> hi KK
[17:16] <Martine> Oof!!!!!!!!
[17:16] <Ghostgames> Ah, I see why I was confused. I thought it was
1/2 mile from the city, but it's actually in the hills to the north of
Rhemuth. (Ian rode "for perhaps half a mile," but his starting point
wasn't Rhemuth.)
[17:16] <Shiral> Good Ooof
[17:16] <Wrengl> 54 days to go, katherine
[17:16] * Martine goes flying across the floor and winces as her
still-bruised hindside hits the deck
[17:17] <Shiral> Oops, Sorry
[17:17] * Tika hands Martine a pillow
[17:17] <Shiral> Hi Ann
[17:17] <Martine> Thanks, Tika! :-D
[17:17] <KK> Martine, did your horse dump you again?
[17:17] * Shiral gives Martine an ice pack
[17:17] * kirienne suggests to Kelson that he go comfort Martine
[17:17] <Tika> hehhee
[17:17] <Martine> Not again, katherine. Though Merlin gave it the old
college try today!
[17:17] <Martine> This time I stuck :-)
[17:18] <KK> Stuck?
[17:18] <Shiral> The glue worked
[17:18] <Martine> Stuck on his back <g>
[17:18] <Wrengl> did not let merlin dump you, huh?
[17:18] <TerryOBrien> MArtine, did you name your horse, or was it
someone else's idea?
[17:18] <Martine> He got a bit "bouncy" though when I wouldn't let him
attack another horse.
[17:18] <jm> Super glue is great stuff
[17:18] <Martine> It's the stable's horse, Terry. Trust me. He looks
like a Merlin!
[17:18] <Wrengl> :D
[17:18] <Shiral> It sure is
[17:18] * VirtualBabe has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:18] <DeryniBot>  Welcome to #Deryni_Destinations VirtualBabe
[17:18] <kirienne> must have been that spell for sticking on horses
that try to throw their riders
[17:18] <Shiral> Katherine, how was your week?
[17:18] <Shiral> Hi VB
[17:18] <KK> Ah.  Somehow, I read stuck as him being stuck.
[17:18] <Martine> have you gotten in the saddle yet, Katherine?
[17:18] <kirienne> hi Debbie
[17:19] <VirtualBabe> Good afternoon all
[17:19] <Dom_Rikart> try velcro hiney pads so you can stick to the
horse
[17:19] <Bynw> hi vb
[17:19] <jm> Hi VB
[17:19] <Martine> LOL, Dom!
[17:19] <Wrengl> hi vb
[17:19] <RainbowDragon> Hi, VirtualBabe
[17:19] <Dom_Rikart> hi VB
[17:19] <Shiral> They tend to give suddenly if the horse bucks, though
[17:19] * Kelric Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[17:19] <KK> Got NO writing done, other than an interview for a
Templar magazine--though I've got permission to post it to the website
after the mag comes out next month.
[17:19] <Martine> Are the velcro hiney pads soft and cushiony?
[17:19] <Mistyck> cool, KK
[17:19] <Shiral> Good, KK
[17:19] <Martine> Whoo hoo!
[17:20] <Dom_Rikart> if you buy the premium ones they are
[17:20] <kirienne> that will be fun to read
[17:20] <Shiral> I'm almost done with my ZIpper Sister Column, Too
[17:20] <jm> Neat
[17:20] <Wrengl> neat katherine
[17:20] * VirtualBabe makes note to check out the website next month
[17:20] <Bynw> there are templar magazines?
[17:20] <Mistyck> hi VB
[17:20] <KK> We had house guests last weekend, this week, and then my
honorary little sister arrived on Thursday for a surprise visit of a
week--and we've been having great fun.  She lives in Vienna.
[17:20] <kirienne> wooo hoooo Shiral
[17:20] <Shiral> Yup,  "Templar Time"
[17:20] <Mistyck> cool, KK
[17:20] <kirienne> wonderful Katherine
[17:20] <Shiral> Wunderbar
[17:21] <KK> We're also in the process of closing our refinance, and
that takes time and energy.
[17:21] <Dom_Rikart> I am somewhat "Templar challenged"... didn't the
Templars die out 800 or so years ago?
[17:21] <Martine> Amen to that!
[17:21] <Martine> Have you practiced signing your name 500 times,
Katherine?
[17:21] <Shiral> Just a wee bit
[17:21] * VirtualBabe sends KK lots of refinancing energy
[17:21] * kirienne sends KK many pens to sign the papers with
[17:21] <KK> Plus we had a 40 ft. container arrive in front of the
house on Friday, to put all the stuff in that has to come out of rooms
that will be worked on--so we spent the afternoon today moving stuff
in.  Claudia was great help.
[17:22] <Mistyck> that reminds me, I have to check on refinancing...I
heard the 30-yr rate is down to 5.32 percent
[17:22] <Wrengl> Tika, I sent you Thumper's pictures for his part of
the web page
[17:22] * Shiral just wants the book that KK will sign... <G>
[17:22] <Tika> thanks Wrengl
[17:22] <Martine> Oooooo! I need a 40 foot container for my
housecleaning! :-D
[17:22] <Wrengl> actually, tika, they are still uploading
[17:22] <kirienne> LOL
[17:22] <KK> Templars were suppressed in 1314, but there are modern
revivals--and there's much interest still.
[17:22] <Shiral> My airplane tickets for September came this week <G>
[17:23] <VirtualBabe> I'm definitly planning to bring a book to
Darkover to be signed
[17:23] <Wrengl> indeed martine
[17:23] <Bynw> i've seen 4
[17:23] <KK> Yay, Shiral!
[17:23] <Shiral> Still don't have my AerLingus ticket though
[17:23] <Shiral> But it looks like I'll be taking the evening flight
to Dublin
[17:23] * Mistyck is busy figuring out how she's going to sneak into
Shiral's luggage :)
[17:23] <kirienne> I have been taking bagfulls of my discards to
church, in Oct we are having a rummage sale, but they let us take the
stuff now and put in empty Sunday School classroom
[17:23] <Martine> Pat - maybe I could "borrow" two containers from my
dad - one for you, one for me! We'll see if he misses them <g>
[17:24] <KK> And no, I haven't gotten back on a horse yet--and may
not, the way things are going.  I may have to just shout encouragement
from the sidelines and lend Martine and Ann moral support when they
come.  I'm running out of time to get back in shape.
[17:24] <Martine> Ack! I forgot to call the travel agency today to
have them correct MY airline tickets
[17:24] <Martine> :-(
[17:24] <Shiral> Sorry, Mistyck, Jasta's already made her reservations
for my Luggage
[17:24] <Wrengl> like that idea martine
[17:24] <Ghostgames> What was wrong with your tickets, Martine?
[17:24] <RainbowDragon> Where is Jasta?
[17:24] <RainbowDragon> I thought she'd be here today
[17:24] <Martine> They flipped the dates on John's and my ticket, Ann.
[17:24] * Mistyck then tries to get into Martine or Ann's luggage...I
can get you thru customs fast :)
[17:24] <VirtualBabe> and i'm on the spare board already for shiral'
[17:24] <VirtualBabe> s luggage
[17:24] <KK> Jasta's recovering from her surgery Thursday, which
apparently went well.
[17:24] <Martine> Of course, I didn't realize this until well after I
got them!
[17:25] <Bynw> thats good to hear
[17:25] <Martine> Go Jasta!
[17:25] <Mistyck> great news!
[17:25] <VirtualBabe> Yay jasta.  I like tha part about it going well
[17:25] <Shiral> I haven't heard from her since Thursday though.  I
did drop her a "How are you doing?" note today
[17:25] <Martine> Speaking of surgery, my sister-in-law needs more now
:-(
[17:25] <Shiral> Aaagh, Martine =o(
[17:25] <Mistyck> oh no, Martine!
[17:26] <KK> I was going to ask about her, Martine.  What's the word
re Russia?
[17:26] <kirienne> I'm gonna send her an e-card from LOTR, a Legolas
one will cheer  her
[17:26] <Ghostgames> Oh, well, John can come riding with me and Ann
Marie, then. ;-)
[17:26] * frito (User has been mind-ripped)
[17:26] <Martine> I'm asking the same question, Katherine! She refuses
to talk about it.
[17:26] <KK> Sigh.
[17:26] <Martine> His riding's coming along, Ann, but he still needs
"babysitting" <g>
[17:26] <kirienne> I'll put her on the prayer list at my church
Martine, what is her name?
[17:26] <Shiral> Now he's going baby-back riding, Martine??
[17:27] <Martine> Donna Workstus, Kirienne. Thanks!
[17:27] * Bynw likes the name donna
[17:27] <Mistyck> lol
[17:27] <Martine> Gee, Bynw. I never would have guessed! <g>
[17:27] <Shiral> So does Tika, in her spare time <G>
[17:27] <Tika> LOL
[17:28] <Tika> I sometimes don't respond to it anymore :)
[17:28] <Dom_Rikart> Katherine, I have to ask... what was the
inspiration for the Airsid group in the Legends of Camber of Culdi
series?  Were they based on a historical group, or purely a work of
fiction?
[17:28] <Martine> I think Donna is having her mastectomy on June 19 -
same day my kitty has surgery, too! Someone needs to stop this silly
operating room trend.
[17:28] <Shiral> KItty surgery???
[17:28] <Martine> Minor kitty surgery.
[17:28] <Mistyck> oh, ok
[17:29] <Martine> She needs to have a tooth or two extracted :-(
[17:29] <Mistyck> awwww :(
[17:29] <Martine> Infected abcesses and all that.
[17:29] <kirienne>  I'll be praying for all of you Martine, including
kitty Arwen
[17:29] <Shiral> Ah Okay, was wondering if you'd decided to  let her
get botox treatments
[17:29] <VirtualBabe> Kitty dentists?
[17:29] <Shiral> Eww, poor cat
[17:29] <Martine> Yeah! We had no idea until it caused her to run a
fever this weekend :-(
[17:30] <Martine> So we spend half of yesterday at the animal
hospital!
[17:30] <Wrengl> poor arwen
[17:30] <VirtualBabe> poor cat
[17:30] * kirienne had to have an infected abcessed tooth extracted
last year, it was not fun
[17:30] <KK> They need their teeth cleaned regularly to keep the
tartar from building up, just like humans.  Some gt it worse and
faster than others--also just like humans.
[17:30] <Shiral> Poor Arwen not a fun weekend
[17:30] <TerryOBrien> Katherine: I was re-reading the Adept books
recently. Any word on more books in the series?
[17:30] <Shiral> But how does one explain dentistry to a cat?
[17:30] <Martine> It would help if Arwen would LET me clean her teeth!
<G>
[17:31] <Martine> It's taken six months for her to let me groom just
half her body with a soft brush.
[17:31] <KK> Since Ace does both series, they call the shots, Terry.
Right now, it's just Deryni.
[17:31] <Mistyck> you just have to brute force it Martine
[17:31] <RainbowDragon> Dom, ask your question again...
[17:31] <Dom_Rikart> Katherine, I have to ask... what was the
inspiration for the Airsid group in the Legends of Camber of Culdi
series?  Were they based on a historical group, or purely a work of
fiction?
[17:31] <KK> You may have to take her into the vet to have it done,
every year or so.
[17:31] <TerryOBrien> I guess we'll have to settle for that, then.
[17:31] <KK> Tooth cleaning, that is.; not brushing.
[17:32] <Martine> I'm beginning to think so, Katherine. Although he
thought everything looked fine back in January.
[17:32] <KK> I think I coined the name from a celtic word with
esoteric associations.  I'd have to look it up again.
[17:32] * Mariska Quit (User has been mind-ripped)
[17:32] <Shiral>  Poor Mariska
[17:33] <Mistyck> yep
[17:33] <kirienne> ouch
[17:33] <VirtualBabe> well. I'm moderatly excited.  My DVD's finally
arrived from the UK
[17:33] <kirienne> yeah Debbie, is it as good as you were expecting?
[17:33] <VirtualBabe> Great
[17:33] <Shiral> Excellent
[17:33] <kirienne> :-)
[17:33] <Dom_Rikart> BTW it's really cool of you to participate in
live chats with your fans.  Class act
[17:34] <Shiral> We think so too, Dom
[17:34] <Mistyck> Katherine is the best :)
[17:34] <Shiral> Oh, definitely
[17:34] <jm> Yes verry cool
[17:34] <KK> Well, guys, I need to check out.  Exhausted after
schlepping boxes out to the container--and we have 2 dumpster things
arriving tomorrow to get rid of debris.
[17:34] <kirienne> indeed
[17:34] <VirtualBabe> KO KK
[17:34] <KK> You're welcome, Dom.  I enjoy it too.
[17:34] <Mistyck> ok, have a good, relaxing evening
[17:34] <kirienne> oh my KK, sleep soundly
[17:34] <Shiral> Rest up, Katherine and I hope you'll manage to hit
the desk again in the coming week
[17:34] <Bynw> have a good week KK chat with ya later
[17:34] <kirienne> huggles and nighters
[17:34] <VirtualBabe> Sleep sweet katherine, and have a terrific week
[17:34] <jm> have a good week Katherine
[17:34] <KK> I'll try to stay longer next week.
[17:34] <RainbowDragon> Bye, Katherine
[17:35] <Dom_Rikart> hope you feel better soon
[17:35] <Martine> Huggles, Katherine!
[17:35] <Martine> Rest up!
[17:35] <Ghostgames> Good night, Katherine! We start remodelling in 2
weeks....

clearing....and laugh <G>
[17:35] <KK> Hopefully I'll get some writing done this week, too--at
least after Thursday when Claudia heads home.
[17:35] <Martine> Ack! Ann, I'm sorry! <g>

locked the rate in January, and it took them this long to get all the
paperwork done, the loan closed, and the check to us!)
[17:36] * Mistyck hopes it's the beginning of Childe Morgan
[17:36] <Shiral> Hooray, ann
[17:36] <RainbowDragon> KK - is Amazon's info on ITKS correct?
[17:36] <kirienne> congrats ann
[17:36] <KK> Actually, I'd done up what I thought were new answers to
burning questions for the website, then learned that I'd reanswered
some--so I need to do up some more--and a new progress report.
[17:36] <Martine> Congratulations, Ann!

[17:37] * Shiral hangs her head.  NOt that they weren't FASCINATING
questions. <G>

updated/taken off/added.  Time for some pruning.
[17:38] <Shiral> Yeppers
