[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:09:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:09:27 PM EST] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:09:31 PM EST] <Shiral> Hello KK
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:09:34 PM EST] <Evie> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:09:50 PM EST] * Shiral sets tea table with hot tea, scones and cream and jam
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:10:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> Goatmistress and I are on a linguistic/language history discussion, LOL.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:10:27 PM EST] <Derynifank> I didn't really change your name Shiral. Did you suddenly feel like singing?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:10:28 PM EST] <Evie> And i am taking a break from facial reconstruction on a Dumbledore doll
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:10:37 PM EST] <Derynifank> Hi I'M
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:10:41 PM EST] <DesertRose> "So they may choose such food and beverage from the buffet as suits themself" was the general concept of the sentence from the book printed by Caxton.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:10:58 PM EST] <Shiral> Do you know how hard it is to sing the 5th Movement of Beethoven's 9th all alone? =o)
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:11:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> That's about as impossible as singing the Hallelujah chorus as a soloist. :P
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:11:33 PM EST] <Goatmistress> The 5th movement??? It doesn't have 5 movements.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:11:43 PM EST] <Derynifank> I cannot win with AC.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:12:04 PM EST] <Shiral> Pretty close. I mean the bass solo part just wasn't going to happen. Which is tricky since the bass soloist starts all the singing
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:12:17 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'm not sure in re: how many movements, but what popped to my mind when Shiral said that was singing the part commonly known as the Ode to Joy.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:12:30 PM EST] <Derynifank> Hi K K
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:12:45 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:13:10 PM EST] <Shiral> The final movement then.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:13:24 PM EST] <Derynifank> Did you get snow from this last storm
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:14:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> Fourth movement. Just looked. You were off by one, Shiral.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:14:05 PM EST] <Shiral> You're right. But the final movement has a long instrumental introduction, then the choral part starts with a bang, so it ALMOST sounds like the start of a new movement.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:14:13 PM EST] <KK> Nope. We dodged the bullet. It's to go to single digits tonight, but we got no sleet or ice. My sympathy to those in the NE.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:14:31 PM EST] <Shiral> Very wet and windy here, but temps are mild
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:14:49 PM EST] <Evie> Dry and sunny here today, but near freezing
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:15:02 PM EST] <Evie> Or possibly below freezing now that the sun is down
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:15:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> Storms blew in last night, dropped the temperatures a solid 20 degrees F, and blew on through to leave us with clear skies by sunset.

[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:16:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, it's Bee. Hi Bee
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:16:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi all!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:16:42 PM EST] <KK> It's alre3a3dy chilly in the house. Gus was on the radiator cover in the downstairs bathroom for a whil,e, but just jumped up into my warm lap. Good Gus!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:16:43 PM EST] <Derynifank> See, there goes as again. Very frustrating.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:16:45 PM EST] <Evie> I'm attempting a beard replacement on Dumbledore. He's having a bad hair and face day. https://www.flickr.com/gp/9573389@N08/U2c707
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:17:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Gus
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:17:11 PM EST] * DesertRose offers scritches to Gus.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:17:17 PM EST] <DesertRose> I think Carys is curled up on my bed.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:17:20 PM EST] <Evie> Luke is on the other side of a closed door and not very happy about that
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:17:42 PM EST] <Evie> I'm getting the occasional Door Scratch of Annoyance
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:17:44 PM EST] <KK> What's the hair like, under the saran wrap?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:17:52 PM EST] <Evie> Long and flowing
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:17:57 PM EST] <KK> And can you not do a natural beard?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:17:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> Melantha's curled up on my pillow.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:17:59 PM EST] <Shiral> Dmitri is sitting behind my open laptop
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:18:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> A friend in Canada sent me an arm-knitted throw, and Carys has accepted it as one of her own: https://postimg.cc/HjStpGsh
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:18:13 PM EST] <Derynifank> Pete, who seldom likes to stay in is curled up in my bed
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:18:27 PM EST] <Shiral> Which is fine until he comes around and tries to sit between me and the keyboard
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:18:47 PM EST] <DesertRose> That photo is from a few nights ago, but last I looked, that was where she was, curled up on the throw, sleeping.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:19:01 PM EST] <DesertRose> I've been putting the throw across my feet in bed because my feet get cold.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:19:08 PM EST] <KK> Arm-knitted? Is that like arm crochet? How is it possible?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:19:08 PM EST] <Evie> Like this: https://www.flickr.com/gp/9573389@N08/72LFPj
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:19:30 PM EST] <Evie> I'm working on it, but first I have to fill in that beard crater
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:19:39 PM EST] <Shiral> My brother bought everyone beautiful blankets of Yak wool for Christmas. It's amazingly soft
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:19:45 PM EST] <The_Bee> The storm that hit the west coast has arrived in New england.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:19:45 PM EST] <DesertRose> As I understand it, you use bulky/chunky yarn and use your arms as knitting needles, but the stitches are basically the same as any other knitting stitches.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:19:52 PM EST] <Evie> I've never heard of arm crochet, but I do arm knitting
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:20:26 PM EST] <Shiral> That sounds complicated, if you get a phone call in the middle of your knitting session
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:20:37 PM EST] <DesertRose> My friend who made it for me and sent it to me said that she used to knit with regular knitting needles but arthritis has made that difficult for her, thus, using her arms.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:20:44 PM EST] <Shiral> "I'm a little....tied up right now..."
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:20:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL, Shiral
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:20:52 PM EST] <Evie> Carys looks really comfortable hogging the blanket
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:21:04 PM EST] <KK> Beard crater?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:21:04 PM EST] <Shiral> Anything warm and soft appeals to cats
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:21:07 PM EST] <Derynifank> I never heard of either one. Not sure how they would work.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:21:14 PM EST] <The_Bee> Does she share it with you, DR?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:21:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> Of course. The yarn my friend chose is wonderfully soft and the throw is warmer than you'd think given the size of the stitches.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:21:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> Sometimes. When she feels like it, Bee. ;)
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:21:42 PM EST] <Evie> Where the original plastic beard was, there is a deep hollow area across the beard portion of the face that needs filling in before I can add the hair
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:22:33 PM EST] <Evie> Go back and look at that first picture and you'll see it. The glued-in lips fills up the biggest portion of the space, but there are still deep grooves around and on either side of that.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:22:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> She got to camp out on my chest for a while yesterday and again today while I watched the first two episodes of Britain's Bloody Crown, a four-part documentary (fairly dramatic as documentaries go) about the latter parts of the Wars of the Roses, starting with Henry VI and I believe probably going to end with the battle of Bosworth Field.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:22:45 PM EST] <KK> Ah, I see it now.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:23:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> Each episode is about 45 minutes long, so she got a nice long cuddle out of the bargain.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:23:22 PM EST] <KK> With arm knitting, the problem I'd see is that when you want to stop for a while, you've got one arm or the other encumbered with yarn.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:23:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> I would guess there's a way to set it aside in such a way that as to prevent your stitches unraveling, but I don't know for sure.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:24:06 PM EST] <Evie> A better photo of the long, flowing hair. https://www.flickr.com/gp/9573389@N08/R8v38v
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:24:17 PM EST] <DesertRose> And the throw my friend made for me is not large; it's about lap-rug sized, so she might have been able to knit it all in a single work session.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:24:22 PM EST] <KK> Ah, I didn't even notice that those were not his original lips. You're good, lady! Now go for that chim crater
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:24:37 PM EST] <Evie> Arm knitting goes very quickly. You can do an entire blanket in an hour, I'm told, although I've only done infinity scarves, and those take about 30 to 40 minutes.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:24:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> The pic of arm knitting looks to me like an old man with a beard.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:25:22 PM EST] <Evie> No, DR posted a link of Carys on top of an arm knitted blanket. What you are looking at is my Dumbledore re-bearding project.

[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:27:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi judyward. I hope you're feeling a bit better.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:27:43 PM EST] <Evie> I have no idea how Gigi just opened the bedroom door, but she just did. Clever kitty!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:27:56 PM EST] <Evie> And yes, it was latched.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:27:57 PM EST] <DesertRose> Are you surprised, Evie? Gigi's always been your little criminal mastermind. :D
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:28:01 PM EST] <judyward> Hi, Evie & everyone.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:28:20 PM EST] <Evie> She's my pretty little Slitherclaw, she is!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:28:23 PM EST] <judyward> I can't stay, just got home with our new Rescue dog, Quanah 2. Too excited!!!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:28:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> Indeed.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:28:30 PM EST] <DesertRose> Aw, new puppy!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:28:37 PM EST] <DesertRose> I hope there will be pics!

[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:28:47 PM EST] <Evie> Welcome to your new puppers!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:28:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> Welcome, Quanah 2!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:28:53 PM EST] <Derynifank> Congrats on the new puppy
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:29:10 PM EST] <Shiral> Puppy???? =o)
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:29:36 PM EST] <judyward> Thanks! I have pictures up on my FB page if anyone wants to see him. 18 mos old Shiral. He's a Rescue.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:29:39 PM EST] <KK> nEW PUPPY? wHAT KIND?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:29:52 PM EST] <Evie> Gigi is getting between me and reading about the new dog. LOL
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:29:53 PM EST] * DesertRose nudges judyward: There's a section of the forum gallery called Fur Kids, where you can upload photos.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:29:54 PM EST] <KK> A rescue what?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:29:58 PM EST] <judyward> 18 mos old Rhodesian Ridgeback, KK
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:30:05 PM EST] <Shiral> All my cats have come from shelters, so I approve
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:30:16 PM EST] <judyward> I've tried but I must be doing something wrong, DR
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:30:24 PM EST] <KK> Ah. They're kind of cool-looking dogs. What's his story, or do you know?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:30:30 PM EST] <Shiral> So pretty close to adult size, but maybe still feels young?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:30:31 PM EST] <Evie> Gigi is from a shelter. Luke was a stray.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:30:36 PM EST] <DesertRose> Pretty much all my pets have been rescues of one sort or another, not necessarily from shelters per se, though.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:31:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> judyward: send me a PM through the forum and tell me what trouble you're having with the gallery and I'll see if I can sort it out for you.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:31:05 PM EST] <judyward> He is from a back yard/puppy mill breeder but he looks good enough to show if he weren't already neutered. FB Judy Ward, Austin
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:31:22 PM EST] <Evie> I am apparently forbidden to chat until Gigi gets all the pets
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:31:36 PM EST] <DesertRose> "Do not under estimate the power of the /d/a/r/k/s/i/d/e cuteness of puppies." :D
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:31:45 PM EST] <judyward> OK, I'll try it again tomorrow & send you a PM
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:31:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> Roger that. :)
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:32:04 PM EST] <Evie> She is literally in my face blocking the exreen entirely
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:32:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys does that a lot.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:32:21 PM EST] <judyward> DR, oh, yes! Have already had to shoo him off the cabinet surfing
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:32:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> Or, if she REALLY wants to make her point, she'll come stand on my chest so that I can't see a darn thing but golden-brown tabby fur.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:32:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL, judyward!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:32:52 PM EST] <judyward> Evie, you are NOT paying attention to She Who Must Be Petted
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:33:21 PM EST] <Evie> Now she is wallowing on my tummy and purring loudly
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:33:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> My parents have been having adventures in kitten. Layla is a clever little kit.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:33:39 PM EST] <judyward> Kittens are irresistibly cute!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:33:45 PM EST] <Evie> excuse any typoes. I am touch typing and can only see the very top of the screen
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:33:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> I was on the phone with my mom the other day and, right after I'd said something that would generally mean my mother would reply to me, I heard, "Layla! Get DOWN from there."
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:33:59 PM EST] <judyward> LOL Evie

[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:35:39 PM EST] <jerusha> And I'm thinking an 18 month old Rhodesian is a teenager
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:36:19 PM EST] <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:36:29 PM EST] <jerusha> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:37:14 PM EST] <judyward> Sorry, had to go get my Teenager out of something.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:37:26 PM EST] <jerusha> Yep, teenager
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:37:36 PM EST] <KK> A normally inquisitive puppy, then.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:37:36 PM EST] <Shiral> Sounds about right. =o)
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:37:41 PM EST] <Evie> Gigi was glaring at me for not paying more attention to her than to chat, and once she saw i had noticed, she pointedly turned her back on me.LOL!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:37:45 PM EST] <judyward> Yes, Jerusha, you are right. I found an old stuffed bone to distract him
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:37:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> Has your teenager asked to drive the car yet?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:37:56 PM EST] <Derynifank> I thought it was toddlers who were into everything
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:38:39 PM EST] <judyward> He's a young teen & probably got away with it somewhere
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:38:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> sounds like Quanah 2 is both toddle and teenager.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:39:02 PM EST] <judyward> Large dogs are puppies till they are 18 mos
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:39:10 PM EST] <jerusha> Yep
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:39:14 PM EST] <judyward> Yes, kind of a combo
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:39:18 PM EST] <Derynifank> Interesting combination
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:39:31 PM EST] <jerusha> Then teenagers until they are 24 months
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:39:44 PM EST] <judyward> Tsin'tia 2 doesn't know what to think of him
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:40:00 PM EST] <Shiral> Kind of reminds me of the Far Side joke where the guy in the passenger seat and the dog in the driver's seat is explaining to the police officer "Hey I'm not crazy! Sure I let him drive sometimes, but he's never off the leash for even one SECOND!"
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:40:07 PM EST] <jerusha> She probably looks at you and says, "Why?"
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:40:16 PM EST] <judyward> Bee that's why I like dogs; they don't want a car or designer clothes.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:40:33 PM EST] <Shiral> No orthodontia or college tuition, either
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:40:35 PM EST] <The_Bee> What breed is Tsint'tia 2?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:40:46 PM EST] <judyward> She was missing Caesar. She was off her food, not wagging her tail & kind of lethargic
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:40:55 PM EST] <Evie> I had a dog who wanted T-shirts and sweaters, but that's because he was a Chihuahua and got cold in the winter.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:41:08 PM EST] <DesertRose> Also, the time period in which dogs eat you out of house and home because they're growing by leaps and bounds is shorter than that of human adolescents. :D
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:41:09 PM EST] <jerusha> It takes time. We had the same problem with our female whippet
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:41:35 PM EST] <judyward> Right Shiral! T2 is a Rhodesian Ridgeback too but we bred her. She is the last of our 2 litters of puppies.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:41:40 PM EST] <Shiral> A teenaged dog also doesn't roll his/her eyes or play deafening music
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:41:59 PM EST] <jerusha> They might howl, though
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:42:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> Not to say that older dogs won't also scarf up unattended food or beg for food, but the rapid-growth food-vacuum stage is a good bit shorter.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:42:39 PM EST] <judyward> He's in that stage now. If you dropped it on the floor, too bad!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:42:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> The five-second rule doesn't apply when you have a two-second dog. :D
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:43:01 PM EST] <Shiral> So he's the selective 4 footed cleaning staff?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:43:13 PM EST] <jerusha> Probably now that selective
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:43:16 PM EST] <judyward> LOL,Shiral, yes!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:43:20 PM EST] <jerusha> not, I meant
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:43:34 PM EST] <judyward> No, EVERYTHING in the mouth
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:43:46 PM EST] <Shiral> Drop a steak and no worries. Drop an orange peel and it's likely to just lie there
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:43:50 PM EST] <Derynifank> I told my teen it would be nice when I got greeted with something other than I'm hungry or can I drive
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:44:08 PM EST] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:44:10 PM EST] <DesertRose> judyward: there's a group on Facebook you might enjoy, called Wolfenoot Central. It was created by the mother of a little boy in New Zealand who dreamed up a holiday to celebrate wolves and dogs and people who are kind to animals.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:44:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL, Derynifank!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:44:18 PM EST] <jerusha> Did that ever happen?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:44:20 PM EST] <judyward> LOL! DF, that stage lasts a long time in 2 footers
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:44:44 PM EST] <Derynifank> Not so far
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:44:46 PM EST] <judyward> That sounds interesting, DR. I check it out.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:44:46 PM EST] <jerusha> I'm not sure it ever ends
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:13 PM EST] <judyward> At some point you just have to cut them off.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:19 PM EST] <KK> I've seen the Wolfenoot stuff. Cute.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> The created holiday being named Wolfenoot, to be celebrated on 23 November, so the inaugural celebration was a couple of months ago.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:32 PM EST] <judyward> Gotta go, y'all! Have a great chat & TTY next Sunday!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:35 PM EST] <Evie> Now we just need the cat equivalent
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:37 PM EST] <Shiral> Bye, Judy
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> Have fun playing with the puppy dog!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:41 PM EST] <Evie> Bye Judy
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> Later, judyward!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:46 PM EST] <judyward> Bye! I will!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:47 PM EST] <jerusha> Nighters, Judywward!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> bye Judy. Goodweek
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:52 PM EST] <Derynifank> I saw that on tv. Really cute
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:45:56 PM EST] <jerusha> Pet the puppies for me
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:05 PM EST] <judyward> OK will do
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:10 PM EST] <Derynifank> Bye just
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:10 PM EST] <KK> Nighters, Judyward.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> That's been proposed, Evie, and in the interim, cats and other pets are welcome in Wolfenoot Central. The point is to be kind to animals and to each other. :D
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:17 PM EST] <Shiral> That would be a room with a lot of sunshine, squashy furniture and cats all over the place
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:19 PM EST] <Derynifank> judy!!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:22 PM EST] <judyward> Night KK & all
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:29 PM EST] Quit judyward (judyward@OWIRCN-cdcc182c.res.rr.com) has left this server (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client).
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:44 PM EST] <Shiral> And some scratching posts and cat trees
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> Someone recently posted a photo of a new addition to their aquarium, a pretty purple fish.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:46:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> Has anyone heard from Jemler?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:47:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, speaking of fish.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:47:15 PM EST] <Derynifank> My DR
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:47:23 PM EST] <Evie> Oh, my other latest project! A wand that lights up at the tip, so the "Lumos!" spell will work. :-D https://www.flickr.com/gp/9573389@N08/7428W9
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:47:25 PM EST] <jerusha> Jemler, or fish
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:47:35 PM EST] <Evie> Hm...I haven't seen him in here tonight
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:47:38 PM EST] <DesertRose> Jemler is tired. He popped in earlier to check in and to report that due to having slept poorly last night, he is tired and decided to go to bed, being a sensible sort.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:47:47 PM EST] <Evie> That makes sense
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:47:54 PM EST] <Shiral> Well glad he's resting.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:48:09 PM EST] <jerusha> A good plan
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:48:26 PM EST] <Derynifank> My D.D. Once had a fish that would actually come to the top of the water and kis s her.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:48:32 PM EST] * The_Bee sends resting woodgies to Jemler.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:48:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> He said he was almost asleep at supper time this evening, so I told him to get some rest, which appears to have been the plan in the first place. :)
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:49:02 PM EST] <Evie> sweet fish
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:49:24 PM EST] <KK> Good thinking.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:49:28 PM EST] <Evie> We had one who would "dance" when we walked into the room, but that was because he assumed that meant it was feeding time
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:49:36 PM EST] <Derynifank> Sweet dreams to Keller
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:49:44 PM EST] <The_Bee> I met a man who said his cat used to wink at him.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:49:45 PM EST] <Evie> Or maybe he correctly deduced he was more likely to be fed a treat for being cute
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:49:52 PM EST] <Derynifank> Jemler
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:50:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL, the fish that would kiss reminds me of the post about kissing your pets and how pets understand apologies (like if you step on their tail or toes and then apologize to them), because kittens and puppies will at times play too roughly with one another, and the immediate reaction is to kiss and groom the wounded litter-mate in a pet equivalent of "I didn't mean to do that! Don't tell Mom, please!"
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:51:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> There's a short video of a deaf man whose cat had figured out the sign language for food, and the cat keeps asking the man, in sign language, for bites from the man's sandwich or whatever it is he's eating.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:51:29 PM EST] <Shiral> My mom stopped over at my place on Friday to deliver my new bathroom mirror. Dmitri came downstairs and kept rubbing his face against her hands. I told him that Dmitri now believed she belonged to him
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:51:49 PM EST] <jerusha> Belonging is a good thing
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:52:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6FAfbjB6FQ
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:52:07 PM EST] <Shiral> Told my MOM, who is a her
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:52:23 PM EST] <The_Bee> Do you have the URL for thevideo, DR?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:53:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> Not sure what's up with the weird background music there, but the visual should be clear enough.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:53:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> Scroll up a few messages, Bee. The YouTube link.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:53:53 PM EST] <The_Bee> I saw it. Cute!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:54:00 PM EST] <Derynifank> Pets are amazing! Don't forget to watch kitty bowl before the Superbowl. Must cuter and more entertaining
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:54:20 PM EST] <jerusha> Isn't that the puppy bowl?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:54:41 PM EST] <jerusha> Cutest idea ever
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:54:46 PM EST] <The_Bee> Isn't there also a puppy bowl on Animal Planet?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:54:53 PM EST] <Derynifank> They have both this year. Kitties and puppies
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:55:13 PM EST] <jerusha> Oh, I will watch that
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:55:41 PM EST] <jerusha> And the superbowl
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:56:34 PM EST] <Shiral> Dang computer
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:56:40 PM EST] <Shiral> I'm back
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:56:54 PM EST] <jerusha> Computer misbehaving?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:57:16 PM EST] <Shiral> Yup. Every now and then it tells me it ran into a problem and needs to restart
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:57:22 PM EST] <Shiral> But...I'm back now
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:57:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> Phooey on it.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:57:33 PM EST] <jerusha> Glad you are back.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:58:03 PM EST] * Shiral tops up the magic tea pot and produces a fresh plate of scones and more cream and jam
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:58:09 PM EST] <Shiral> Dig in
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:58:14 PM EST] <Derynifank> Yummy
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:58:23 PM EST] <jerusha> Yum, thanks Shiral!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:58:38 PM EST] <Shiral> When I conquer the world, Afternoon tea will be required at 4 pm local time
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:58:45 PM EST] <DesertRose> The ASL sign for food is basically holding all five digits of one hand together as if you were about to do the "chef kiss" gesture, and bringing your fingertips to your lips, so what that cat is doing in that video is about as close as a cat's anatomy will allow.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:58:49 PM EST] * The_Bee adds her prize honey.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:58:51 PM EST] <jerusha> I will be a loyal subject
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:59:04 PM EST] <Derynifank> Yay. I vote for you as dictator
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:59:10 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, that reminds me, I found a recipe today (via Facebook) for Irish scones. They sound yummy, and not too difficult to make.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:59:45 PM EST] <Shiral> Alas, minions, my plans for world domination are proceeding VERY slowly. But we can always have afternoon tea.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [7:59:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:00:07 PM EST] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:00:12 PM EST] <Derynifank> That is a priority
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:00:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> I have enough bananas in my freezer for two loaves of banana bread, but that requires having enough energy and time at the same time to bake said bread.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:00:35 PM EST] <The_Bee> Are you a tea-totaler?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:00:47 PM EST] <Shiral> It's a kind of Mary Poppins tea pot. Whatever your favorite blend might be is what comes out of the spout into your cup
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:01:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> Or a Teapot of Requirement, to switch fandoms. :)
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:01:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> ?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:01:41 PM EST] <Shiral> I REALLY want a room of requirement. Wonder if Mary Poppins went to Hogwarts
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:02:13 PM EST] <jerusha> Might be where she got the umbrella
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:02:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> In Harry Potter, in the Hogwarts Castle, there is a Room of Requirement that magically appears when needed and fully stocked with whatever is needed for whatever one intends to do.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:02:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> aah, ok ty
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:02:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'm extrapolating the concept for a teapot that produces whatever tea is requested.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:02:56 PM EST] <Shiral> For Harry it was a perfect classroom to teach Defense against the Dark Arts. So... what would everyone here have in their Room of Requirement?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:03:04 PM EST] <Evie> I'd settle for a working wand that will do "Scourgify"!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:03:07 PM EST] <jerusha> Chocolate
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:03:10 PM EST] <DesertRose> It would depend upon what I required at the moment. :)
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:03:27 PM EST] <The_Bee> no-calorie ice cream
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:03:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> Although I like Evie's answer. Sadly, the dishes do not wash themselves, nor do the floors sweep and mop themselves.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:03:36 PM EST] <Shiral> Well yes, DR. But there must be some things you'd want most of the time?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> A room that magically adjusts to the most comfortable temperature for me in that moment, then. Menopause is a bother.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:02 PM EST] <KK> I'm goping to check out, folks. Like Jemler, I think I underslept last night. See you next week.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:12 PM EST] <Evie> And also "Reparo," so I can fix things that break down at the most inconvenient times
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> Okay, g'night, KK. Get some rest, have a good week, and thank you for joining us!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:21 PM EST] <Evie> Goodnight, KK!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:26 PM EST] <jerusha> Nighters, KK. Have a good week
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> thanks for coming, KK. gOOD NIGHT AND REST WELL
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:39 PM EST] <Shiral> I'm cross with Disney less because I keep expecting a Prince to pop by. But I find it bewildering that small woodland creatures have NO interest in helping me clean my house
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:49 PM EST] <Shiral> NIght, KK
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:53 PM EST] <Shiral> HOpe LBM is doing better
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:55 PM EST] <Derynifank> nite KK.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:04:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> My guess on the "no small woodland creatures cleaning house for me" is that I don't sing well enough.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:05:04 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:05:07 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yes, best wishes to LBM!
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:05:29 PM EST] <KK> Thanks, DR. Friday is the big move day. She is not going to be a happy camper.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:05:31 PM EST] <jerusha> Small woodland creatures tend to leave me nasty little presents
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:05:40 PM EST] <Shiral> Yeah. The little blighters avoid me.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:05:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> Where is she moving?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:05:47 PM EST] <jerusha> LBM is moving?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:05:54 PM EST] <Derynifank> Where is she moving?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:06:02 PM EST] <The_Bee> tELL US HOW THE MOVE WENT NEXT WEEK, kk
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:06:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> Bee, I think you may have caught your caps-lock key.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:06:38 PM EST] <The_Bee> oops, I keep hitting the caps lock.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:06:47 PM EST] <Evie> Luke arrives just in time to tell KK Bye
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:06:57 PM EST] <DesertRose> It's easy to catch it with a fingertip or nail when going for the shift key.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:06:58 PM EST] <KK> Assisted living. Her Home Instead caregivers' rates go up Feb. 1 by $2 per hour. THat's an increase of over $1400 oer month. Simply not sustainable.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:07:06 PM EST] <DesertRose> Ah, gotcha.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:07:13 PM EST] <Evie> Ouch
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:07:23 PM EST] <jerusha> Wow. I wonder if my Dad's rates will go up, too.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:07:27 PM EST] <Shiral> Yeah. That's painful. But I hope she'll find it works out well for her
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:07:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> Sorry to hear that, and I'm sure she's not thrilled, but sometimes we have to work with the way things are, not the way we'd like them to be.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:07:34 PM EST] <Derynifank> Oh dear
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:07:55 PM EST] <Shiral> You kept her at home as long as you could
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:08:10 PM EST] <KK> Ouch, indeed. I think she'll like it there, once she settles in, though she'll miss daily visits from Gus. I plan to take him for visits there from time to time, as we did when she was in rehab after her stroke a few years ago.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:08:40 PM EST] <Shiral> I hope it will ease some of your concerns too, KK
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:08:45 PM EST] <jerusha> Hopefully it won't take her too long to adjust
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:08:46 PM EST] <Derynifank> Keep accentuating the positive and she might find she !I
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:08:52 PM EST] <DesertRose> Gus seems a sanguine fellow of a cat that he doesn't mind going visiting even farther from home.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:08:59 PM EST] <Derynifank> Likes it
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:09:04 PM EST] <KK> Gus will miss her, too. I hope he won't cause problems for the next tenant in the cottage.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:09:23 PM EST] <DesertRose> Maybe the next tenant in the cottage will enjoy visits from Gus. :)
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:09:29 PM EST] <Shiral> Add "Must love cats" to the ad, KK
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:09:34 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL, indeed, Shiral.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:09:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> Or at least "Must not mind occasional visits from neighboring cats."
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:09:53 PM EST] <KK> Well, it's only 1/3 mile away, so that isn;'t too bad for visiting several times per week. But not daily, like it's been for the past few years.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:09:58 PM EST] <Shiral> And find someone who will feel properly honored at being visited by Gus
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:10:02 PM EST] <DesertRose> Good that it's so close.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:10:45 PM EST] <Derynifank> Will she have a private room or share?
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:11:01 PM EST] <KK> He'll sit on the windowsill and do the silent meow, like he does not. But I don't want him going into someone else's domain. If they'd hurt him, I'd have to kill them.
[Sunday, January 20, 2019] [8:11:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> Well, yes.
