[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:01:59] <jemler> hi KK
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:02:09] <jemler> hope works!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:02:10] <KK> Hello, folks.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:02:14] <derynifanatic64> 6and there she is
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:02:17] <DesertRose> KK!! HI!!

[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:02:22] <Evie> Hi, KK!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:02:29] <jemler> hi Jass
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:02:33] <derynifanatic64> 6you made evie's day
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:02:48] <Evie> I was just watching the door to see if you'd walk in. ;-)
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:03:05] <DesertRose> Hi Jass.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:03:10] * Jass_MacArdry stares at the Creator
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:03:20] <Evie>
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:03:36] <DesertRose> How's the writing coming along, KK?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:04:02] <Evie> for once my cat barometer deserted early. I had Luke draped across my tummy and arm and Gigi on my chest, so I took that as a sure sign KK would show up
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:04:31] <KK> Slowly. I've been doing taxes this week. Yuck!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:04:33] <Kelric> nyau
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:04:36] <Evie> Ew.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:05:03] <derynifanatic64> 6my taxes were easy this year
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:05:17] <jemler> don't be as creative with your taxes as you are with Gwynedd!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:05:23] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:05:30] <KK> But I've just about assembled the packet to go to the accountant tomorrow, and did the online part that I can e-mail to him tonight.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:06:07] <KK> LOL. No creativity here. I keep meticulous records. But it long ago got to the point that I have to have a professional do it.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:06:21] <Kelric> heh
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:06:22] <jemler> LOL
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:06:39] <KK> We've got rental properties, so that also complicates matters.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:07:21] <Evie> Oh yes. Fortunately we managed to ditch the a/l/b/a/t/r/o/s/s/ our former rental property.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:07:24] <derynifanatic64> 6tax laws are incredibly complicated:(
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:07:37] <jemler> hope you have better tenants than my cousin did. he had to evict someone who hadn't paid rent in a year, and they trashed the place!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:07:50] * Kelric gives derynifanatic64 no voice
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:08:09] <derynifanatic64> 6really

[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:08:23] <jemler> hi bee
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:08:24] <derynifanatic64> 6hi bee
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:08:33] <the_Bee> Hi Jemler and hello KK
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:08:38] <Sarah> hey the_Bee
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:08:38] <the_Bee> hi DF
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:08:45] <the_Bee> and Sarah anad all
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:08:49] <KK> Well, I manage the two on our property, and we have a manager for the multi-unit property. She vets prospective tenants very carefully.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:08:56] <Evie> Yes, that was a complication we had also, jemler. The tenants trashing the house before leaving, that is. And then once we got that fixed up and the house ready to sell, someone broke in and stole the copper pipes
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:09:12] <jemler> we were just talking about vets!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:09:13] <KK> Cheesh!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:09:21] <derynifanatic64> 6copper theft is a major problem
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:09:35] <KK> As in Veterans, or as in Veterinarians?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:09:43] <Evie> veterinarians
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:09:55] <KK> Ah. We've got some good ones here.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:10:01] <the_Bee> so who was robbed?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:10:06] <Evie> I have one living next door
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:10:21] <KK> That's handy in an emergency.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:10:39] <Evie> we were talking about when we were trying to sell off a former rental property, Bee, only just as we got it fixed up to sell, someone broke in and stole the copper pipes
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:10:44] <jemler> just in case you need a drive-by spaying?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:11:11] <the_Bee> Youch! Tough luck, Evie.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:11:33] <Evie> yes, like when I was seedling-sitting last week and Luke got into that room and decapitated 12 tomato seedlings of their leaves, then threw them back up in a neat little line on the hall carpet. It was nice having a vet next door that time.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:12:10] <Evie> because Luke isn't clear on that whole "Cats are carnivores" thing and he thinks he has to nom on every green plant in sight
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:12:17] <KK> To treat Luke for owner-mayhem!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:12:27] <the_Bee> Are tomatoes harmful to cats?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:12:34] <Evie> they're related to deadly nightshade
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:12:47] <the_Bee> so are potatoes.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:12:49] <Evie> so yes, the leaves are very poisonous. Fortunately these were itty bitty leaves
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:12:53] <KK> Does that mean that eating them is dangerous for cats?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:12:57] <jemler> tomatoes and cats...hmmm. oh yeah chicken cat-chatore!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:13:28] <Evie> apparently. He threw them right back up, though, so the vet said to just keep a close eye on him and bring him into the clinic if he didn't start feeling better
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:13:35] * the_Bee swats jemler with a giant cattail.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:13:36] <DesertRose> How are your critters, KK?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:13:56] <jemler> as long as in not a cat-o-nine tails!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:13:57] <derynifanatic64> 6people were once afraid to eat tomatoes because they are part of the nightshade family
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:14:20] <Evie> with good reason, DF, if they tried the leaves first instead of the fruit
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:14:33] <jemler> they didn't like potatoes because they grew under the ground
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:14:34] <the_Bee> They thought they were poisonous, and they called them "love apples."
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:14:37] Quit Sarah has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:14:45] <jemler> bye sarah
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:14:59] <KK> I knew folks had been wary of them initially; forgot about the nightshade lineage.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:15:18] <the_Bee> Did Sarah leave voluntarily?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:15:23] <derynifanatic64> 6but once people saw they were safe, another food source!!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:15:31] <Evie> my guess is that the first Westerners to try them tried the leaves, found them poisonous, and didn't try the fruit for a long time after that
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:15:34] <DesertRose> May have been Mibbit being stupid.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:15:59] <Jass_MacArdry> Mibbit bein' stupid? Surely no'.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:16:03] <jemler> they could have just asked the nobles.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:16:07] <derynifanatic64> 6tomatoes helped make pizza what it is
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:16:22] <jemler> i thought that was pepperoni?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:16:43] <Jass_MacArdry> somethin' more than sausage an' cheese on a trencher?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:16:48] <derynifanatic64> 6i have a feeling that tomatoes came before pepperoni
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:16:57] <derynifanatic64> 6though i could be wrong
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:17:17] <jemler> you're right. i never heard of anybody planting pepperoni trees!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:17:36] <the_Bee> Nature created tomatoes, humans created pepperoni.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:17:56] <Evie> They grow in Transha. The Pepperoni seeds were carried over the Atalantic Ocean by the swimming chipmunks. ;-)
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:18:02] <derynifanatic64> 6pepperoni is a member of the salami family
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:18:16] <derynifanatic64> 6ALVIN!!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:18:23] <Evie>
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:18:47] <jemler> Salami family? What, are they breeding them now!?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:19:10] <derynifanatic64> 6made from cured pork and beef
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:19:33] <the_Bee> no pork in kosher salami.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:19:46] <jemler> i'm gonna get sent to the punitentiary for this, but: What were they cured of?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:19:51] <Evie> You've never bred sausages, jemler? Where do you think those tiny Vienna Sausages come from?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:20:13] <derynifanatic64> 6kosher comes from beef or poultry
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:20:26] <derynifanatic64> 6kosher pepperoni that is
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:20:50] <Evie> So, KK, how far through CM3 do you estimate you are now?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:21:00] <the_Bee> I suppose any meat can be used for sausages.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:21:34] <KK> Maybe 2/3? It partly depends on where I intend to stop this one.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:21:58] <the_Bee> Are you thinking of a fourth book?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:22:53] <KK> I hope not.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:23:20] <the_Bee> There can never be too many KK books.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:23:38] <DesertRose> What were you thinking to tackle after CM3 is done, KK?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:24:08] * DesertRose votes for something about Orin and Jodotha, or else something to follow up the Heirs of St. Camber trilogy.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:24:18] <KK> Haven't decided yet. Hopefully, Hunting by Gaslight.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:24:25] <Evie> When did the CC become aware of Duncan being Deryni, and that there was a connection between Vera and Alyce? I don't recall that being known in the two CM books that are currently out, but it seems there's some mention of the two women being known to be sisters by the Kelson-era books.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:25:02] <derynifanatic64> 6vivienne said so when Dennis brought alaric and duncan before the cc
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:25:16] <KK> Haven't decided that.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:25:39] Join Alkari has joined this channel (Mibbit@B83485.B30A8A.12F179.287477).
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:25:40] <DesertRose> Hunting by Gaslight? Sounds Victorian.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:25:45] <DesertRose> Alkari! Rehi!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:25:49] <Evie> hi Alkari
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:25:54] <Alkari> Re-hi all.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:25:55] <the_Bee> g'day Alkari
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:25:59] <KK> Yep. Adept prequel.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:26:03] <DesertRose> Oh, cool.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:26:13] <derynifanatic64> 6hello alkari
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:26:23] <jemler> there is an auction on Ebay called Flashing Swords. There are 4 books. Which one has Swords against the Marluk?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:26:32] <Alkari> Hi KK, DF. bee and DR - andothers
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:26:38] <jemler> hi alkari
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:26:43] <KK> I believe it's No. 4.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:27:00] <Alkari> I tried to find a copy of that for ages.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:27:47] <Jass_MacArdry> It's like th' Holy Grail
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:28:15] <Evie> brb...need to stir the spaghetti sauce
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:28:16] <KK> Don't worry about it. That action will be covered in the present book, though perhaps not in its then-form. Remember that SAM was the very first Deryni short story, and I was still solidifying the universe--and had no idea that the series would go so far.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:28:29] <Alkari> LOL Jass. I thought the only grails you were interested in held wine?!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:28:41] <derynifanatic64> 6we're glad it did go this far
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:28:47] <Alkari> Yes - it seems to have "just grown" KK
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:28:51] <DesertRose> Yes, we are.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:28:52] <Jass_MacArdry> wine...whisky...ale....
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:29:42] <KK> Yep, rather Topsy-like.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:29:45] <Evie> homemade sauce is yum. Remind me why I ever did the bottled stuff?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:29:45] <Alkari> KK, a question from Chat, though you may be covering in in CM 3.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:29:57] <KK> OK
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:29:58] <Kelric> you are hunting for the Holy Grrrrrrrrrrail?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:30:06] <Kelric>
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:30:16] <derynifanatic64> 6:)
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:30:25] <Alkari> How did the Camberian COuncil come to know DUncan's ture parentage, when it seems llike Alyce and Vera tyook great p0ains to keep their sistership secret?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:30:43] <Alkari> (sorry for typing- am in train)
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:30:44] <Evie> LOL! Can you tell what Alkari and I discussed this week, KK? ;-)
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:30:51] <Evie> (I just asked her that myself, Alkari.)
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:30:59] <derynifanatic64> 6you're forgiven
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:31:03] <KK> Haven't decided that yet.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:31:07] <Alkari>
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:31:11] <DesertRose> Alkari, didn't you want to ask KK about Bran's family?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:31:16] <Alkari> Gteratr minds think alike then!!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:31:17] <DesertRose> I can't remember your exact question.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:31:26] <Alkari> Yes, but I was saving that one!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:31:35] <Alkari> OK - did Bran have any siblings?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:31:42] <jemler> Check this out!: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=230538230096
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:31:43] <the_Bee> Well, someone must have helped plant baby Vera in Mrs. Howard's childbed.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:31:49] <Evie> Was Bran's first name Raisin ? (just kidding!)
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:32:03] <derynifanatic64> 6fiber
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:32:03] <jemler> no, it was Wheat!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:32:05] <KK> That sounds likle a RObism.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:32:09] <Alkari> Just wondered if young Brendan has any paternal cousins
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:32:21] <KK> DOn't know.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:32:29] <Alkari> Oh good!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:32:36] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:32:47] <Alkari> So I can give Richenda a sister inlaw if needed?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:32:59] <jemler> Morgan's sister
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:33:18] <jemler> lots of aunts tho
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:33:20] <DesertRose> Morgan's sister has been dead for a couple of years by the time Morgan and Richenda get married.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:33:21] <Alkari> If any of his MOrgan relatives are still alive, that is
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:34:02] <Alkari> We hope you are not going to kill them all off in CM3, KK - all Kenneth's family
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:34:24] <jemler> the link i just posted is for the first 4 Deryni Archives Zine
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:34:25] <Evie> That's going to be CM4--The Zombie Hordes
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:34:27] <KK> Richenda has brothers, so she could have a sister-in-law that way.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:34:32] <Alkari> But we have horrible fears about ther death rate in your books
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:34:47] <Alkari> Yes, Murdo and William, aren't they?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:34:58] <Alkari> LOL @ Zombie hordes
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:35:11] <DesertRose> Well, Zoe and Alazais and (I've forgotten the other girl's name) are Morgan's much older sisters.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:35:26] <DesertRose> I was thinking of Bronwyn when I said that above.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:35:43] <Alkari> But MOrgan is only in his thirties in KKB, so Zoe and co could easily be alive still
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:35:44] Quit the_Bee has left this server (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:35:53] <DesertRose> That's true.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:35:53] <jemler> bye bee
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:36:00] <Alkari> Geill is the other,DR
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:36:02] <DesertRose> Assuming none of them died in childbed.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:36:05] <DesertRose> Geill, yes.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:36:08] <Alkari> Married to a Kireney knight
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:36:10] <Evie> yes, but I think Alkari's more interested in the Coris side of the family for story reasons
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:36:20] <KK> Kenneth's two sisters are still alive, and one of them has a daughter, a granddaughter, and a grandson--and there could be more that just haven't been mentioned yet.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:36:35] <Alkari> Oh good!!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:36:53] <derynifanatic64> 6Bran could have an uncle
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:37:05] <derynifanatic64> 6and the uncle could have sons
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:37:13] <Alkari> I was just looking ar Brendan's eventual inheritance in Marley, and whether he had any relatives of Bran to meet or deal with
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:37:17] <derynifanatic64> 6aunts too
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:37:26] <KK> Any brothers of Bran would be younger, if he has them. Brendan is his heir.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:37:59] <Alkari> Yes. Aninteresting inheritance for the kid
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:38:38] <Evie> do you know if the Deryni Archives 'zine is still accepting submissions?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:39:10] <Alkari> But the possibilities of Kenneth's family are "interesting"
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:39:19] <KK> It does make Brendan half-Deryni, like Alaric. And I'd think that RIchenda would have see that he got some training, especially once she was outed.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:39:40] <DesertRose> Maybe Brendan went to St. Camber's at some point?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:39:49] <Alkari> And he wuld surely have training at the schola too
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:40:06] <jemler> http://cgi.ebay.com/Katherine-Kurtz-Fanzine-Collection-Deryni-Archives-1-14-/380240464477?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5888190a5d
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:41:29] <DesertRose> Does St. Camber's accept female students, KK?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:41:48] <Alkari> Surely yes?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:42:02] <Evie> since some of the Servants of St. Camber who are there are female
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:42:08] <KK> I'm sure they will.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:42:25] <DesertRose> Okay, saves me some trouble in a Deryni RPG.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:42:31] <Alkari> And the patrons are female - Araxie and Richenda, plus Rothana
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:42:50] <DesertRose> Co-education, how progressive.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:42:54] <derynifanatic64> 6walter's daughter may end up going there one day
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:42:59] <Alkari> Don't know that those three would be "happy" if women Deryni were excluded
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:43:04] <jemler> maybe the CC will get their thumbs out of their ..., and bring in some qualified teachers!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:43:08] <Evie> already is, DF
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:43:10] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:43:15] <Alkari> ROFL @ jemler
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:43:31] <Evie> I thought those were corncobs?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:43:38] <Alkari> Hopefully the CC can start l;ooking forward now
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:43:42] <DesertRose> Yeah, Araxie, Richenda, and Rothana would likely see to it that there was a women's academy at St. Camber's.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:43:43] <Evie> imported from the New World by chipmunks
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:43:55] <KK> Riiiiight.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:44:00] <DesertRose> Good, solves a problem I sort of had with ginning up an RPG character.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:44:20] <jemler> you don't sound very optimistic about the Council looking forward, KK.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:44:43] <jemler> maybe Matyas can change things
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:44:47] <DesertRose> I thought the "Riiight" was about the corncobs and chipmunks.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:44:50] <Evie> I think the Riiiiight was directed at the corncob carrying chipmunks
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:44:51] <Alkari> Hopefully now that Vivienne is dead, they will start to bemore progressive
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:44:53] <Evie> jink
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:44:54] <Evie> jinx
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:45:07] <DesertRose> Pinch, poke, you owe me a Coke.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:45:15] <Alkari> Matyas is not on the Council yet
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:45:25] <Evie> Better you than Alkari. She'd give the Coke back.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:45:34] <KK> Chipmunks. Our cats have discovered them since we came to Virginia, and find them very tasty, as does Booker.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:45:39] <Evie> no, wait, that would be to my benefit
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:45:42] <Alkari> Don't drink the revolting stuff
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:45:44] <DesertRose>
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:45:53] <derynifanatic64> 6:s
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:45:57] <DesertRose> My cat is too spoilt to hunt.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:46:14] <Evie> my MIL has a chipmunk problem at her house. They burrow.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:46:18] <DesertRose> My daughter has spoilt her completely, though she does try to hunt bugs, should one dare to come in this house.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:46:53] <Evie> Gigi hunts bugs if she can find one, but she prefers small furry toys and bedroom slippers
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:46:57] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:47:11] <Evie> and once, a pair of khaki pants she inexplicably dragged from the hamper and halfway down the hall
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:47:15] <DesertRose> PJ likes my hair, if I leave it hanging in a braid or something.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:47:17] <KK> We had 2 inches of snow last night, burying all the chipmunks, to say nothing of the daffs, but it all melted away during the day.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:47:51] <Evie> Snow still? We're just getting lots of rain and some hail and tornadoes
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:47:52] <DesertRose> Yeah, my family is in Virginia this week on vacation (WIlliamsburg), and they were complaining about snow while I'm down here in 80-degree weather.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:48:13] <Evie> ooh, I want to go to Colonial Williamsburg some day

[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:48:18] <jemler> 80 degrees! Poor baby!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:48:20] <jemler> rehi bee
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:48:21] <DesertRose> WB, Bee.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:48:27] <derynifanatic64> 6georgia was getting hail like golf balls
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:48:35] <Evie> Luke has returned to supervise chat
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:48:36] <DesertRose> I'd like to go too, but somebody had to mind the cat and the house.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:48:45] <the_Bee> thanks. My computer bugged out on me. I had to reboot.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:48:53] <Evie> you didn't leave the cat to mind the house?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:48:56] <derynifanatic64> 6bad computer
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:49:11] <KK> Cats domt have thimbs, so they can't open the cat food on their own.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:49:24] <DesertRose> Nope, and she'd be...upset, if we left her alone all week with no cat food and no one to scoop the kitty litter.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:49:24] <Evie> I always worry when we leave Luke and Gigi to mind ours. I worry about coming back to them having wild parties
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:49:25] <jemler> she couldn't. cats throw the wildest parties, you know!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:49:41] <derynifanatic64> 6:D
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:50:01] <jemler> evie, it's starting to get scary the way we think!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:50:06] <the_Bee> 80 degrees? Fahrenheit or Celsius?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:50:10] <DesertRose> Fahrenheit.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:50:16] <jemler> hopefully F!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:50:17] <Evie> we have an automated cat feeder and switch to dry food when we go somewhere over the weekend, but for longer trips out of town we have someone come by to check on them and visit a bit.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:50:18] <derynifanatic64> 6or Kelvin?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:50:45] <Evie> the way we think has always been scary, jemler. ;-)
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:50:45] <DesertRose> We don't really have anybody to mind the cat for a week, and DD doesn't want to board her at the vet's.

[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:51:19] <Kelric> INCONCIEVABLE
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:51:22] <KK> Well, I hear hungry sounds in the kitchen, so I guess I'd better go and rattle some pans. Spaghetti tonight, I think.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:51:24] <Kelric>
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:51:26] <DesertRose> You can have it, dude.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:51:27] <jemler> my cousin in miami must be having the time of her life!

[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:51:48] <Evie> and I'm planning on starting the noodles once chat is over
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:51:50] <DesertRose> Okay, KK, thanks for coming to visit with us and be pelted with nine bazillion questions.

[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:52:23] <Kelric> had half a ham steak, parsley potatoes and steamed asparagus for dinner today
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:52:23] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:52:24] <jemler> One more question, KK. How are YOU doing?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:52:38] <Kelric> you won't see me though. Will be working a gaming convention next weekend
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:52:40] <Evie> yum, Kelric
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:52:44] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight,a nd disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:52:44] <the_Bee> Have you noticed that, of Italy's signature dish, spaghetti comes from china and tomato sauce comes from America?
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:52:52] <Evie> LOL, Bee
[Sunday 27 March 2011] [19:52:53] <KK> I'm doing just fine, Jemler.
