[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:02:08 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:02:09 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Whats the news about Jemler?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:02:19 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:02:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:02:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ah, jemler passed away on 3 June.

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:03:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:03:10 PM EDT] <KK> Very sadly, Jemler passed away a month or so ago.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:03:11 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Im so sorry to hear that
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:03:26 PM EDT] Nick kiwi_29 is now known as The_Bee.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:03:52 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Gosh we are all having a time lately. We're tough and resilient though.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:04:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I hope so.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:04:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> How's it going with you, KK?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:04:33 PM EDT] <KK> We are strong. Hear us roar!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:04:42 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Ive been seeing your posts on FB KK. Cool stuff.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:04:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm guessing still plugging away at sorting/culling belongings.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:04:52 PM EDT] <WidowSon> YES! ROAR!!!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:04:57 PM EDT] <KK> I'm hanging in there.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:06:06 PM EDT] * The_Bee hums "When the Saints Come Marching In."
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:06:10 PM EDT] <WidowSon> KK I sent you a link via your email for a new Documentary about where I work. Check it out when ya get a chance.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:06:25 PM EDT] <KK> Yep, DR, but making progress in small ways, step by step, in manageable bites. Cleaned out a bathroom closet shelf yesterday before I even came downstairs. Unearthed another run of desk space today.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:07:58 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Im working on a Series Grid for my Book! And joined a local author's group here on Marco Island, FL. The first meeting was pretty cool.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:08:48 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Baby steps for me......LOL
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:08:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Are your agent and publisher being understanding about your circumstances?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:09:15 PM EDT] <KK> Neato. And I gather that everyone is managing now to perish from the heat. We hit close to 100 today. Blech! I stayed inside, other than to go out and get yesterday's maiol and bring in the Sunday paper.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:09:47 PM EDT] <WidowSon> HOT EVERYWHERE around the country. UGH

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:10:04 PM EDT] <KK> I'm not under contract right now, Bee. So no one is bugging me. I did get my travel arrangements for Dragoncon sorted.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:10:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi DomMelchior!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:10:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi domM
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:10:31 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, Dom Melchoir. Long time no see.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:10:40 PM EDT] <bynw> hi DomMelchior
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:10:44 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> Hi
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:11:37 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Wow! That's AWESOME KK!!! I may try to make it there if you are gonna be there.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:12:06 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> Indeed it has been a while I had a bad traffic accident a few months back and I have not really been up and about much
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:12:42 PM EDT] <KK> Wow, what happened?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:12:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Yike! I hope you're recovering okay.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:13:14 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> Katherine, I only learned of Scott's passing this morning. Andy and I are so, so sorry. He was a great man.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:13:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ouch!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:14:00 PM EDT] <KK> He was. And thank you.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:14:52 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> I was on my way to work one morning and a guy in car two lanes over lost control and rammed me into the guard rail, totaling my car, injuring my neck and back, and breaking a rib.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:15:11 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> I'm recovering, but it'll take time
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:15:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> OUCH!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:15:15 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Not fun DM.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:15:35 PM EDT] <KK> Yike! What happened to the other guy?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:16:38 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> I never met him. I assume he was taken to hospital, but his car was in better shape than mine....probably because I cushioned the blow for him
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:17:49 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> I suspect he was probably playing on his phone at the time. We're all lucky though that he didn't swerve the other direction. There was a large propane truck there.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:18:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I hope he has insurance and they've paid up.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:18:20 PM EDT] <KK> Whoa, lucky, indeed.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:18:47 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> Ironically, we both have the same insurance company
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:19:39 PM EDT] <KK> That should help. I suspect most of the wrangling will be done in-house, and you'll get paid properly. Are you back to work yet, and do you have a new car?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:20:36 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> They won't fully address the issue though until I declare myself fully recovered. So no big payout yet I doubt that it'll cover my costs, frankly....though I'm plenty grateful to just be alive
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:21:11 PM EDT] * The_Bee is glad DomMelchior is alive.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:21:34 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> I'm back to work, though usually have to take one or two days off a week still They've been very supportive and patient
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:21:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> :)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:22:42 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> And I did buy a new car....the same amazing one I had, though this year's model. After all, it saved my life.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:22:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:22:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What kind of work do you do?

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:23:44 PM EDT] <KK> It's criminal, how long they can sometimes postpone paying. I know that when Cameron and I were nailed by a rogue runaway trailer that hit us nearly headon, it took months and months, at least for the personal injury part. As I recall, we got money for replacing the car fairly quickly. Still, it's a bummer.

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:24:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> How are your parents, Evie, and how is your vision, judyward?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:24:46 PM EDT] <judyward> LOL!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:24:47 PM EDT] <Evie> They're doing fine.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:24:57 PM EDT] <judyward> My vision is GREAT!!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:25:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:25:12 PM EDT] <Evie> They have their new house, and the laminate flooring in the bedrooms is supposed to be replaced with hardwood this week.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:25:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have a lapful of Carys.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:25:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Nice!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:25:28 PM EDT] <judyward> Awww!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:25:29 PM EDT] <KK> Ain't it grand, when yloou can suddenly see again?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:25:49 PM EDT] <Evie> Glad to hear your vision is doing better
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:26:02 PM EDT] <judyward> Yes! First time in my life I have been able to see without some kind of lenses.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:26:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm a bit under the weather (Florida isn't a great place to live with pollen and mold allergies), and Carys the Nurse-Kitteh takes her duties seriously.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:26:24 PM EDT] <judyward> Sweet girl loves her Mama.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:26:29 PM EDT] <Evie> awww
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:26:51 PM EDT] <judyward> Allergies are rough.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:27:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> When I had my first cataract surgery, my right eye seemed very fuzzy. Then I realized I was still looking through my old extra-thick lens.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:27:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oops!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:27:52 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> Pets are a huge comfort. Rory (our Pharaoh Hound) turns 11 next week, and he still acts like a goofy puppy. He's been looking after me while I recover
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:27:58 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh no! You forgot! I almost did that 2 or 3 times!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:28:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Rory knows his duty.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:28:24 PM EDT] <judyward> Pets are really great.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:28:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> All dogs are therapy dogs; most of them are just volunteers. :)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:28:45 PM EDT] <judyward> Our fat baby Quanah is lying behind my chair.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:28:51 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> yeah....chasing squirrels and destroying tennis balls!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:29:09 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> Amen DR
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:29:19 PM EDT] <judyward> I took Quanah (with permission) to visit a friend in therapy and he was a huge hit with everyone.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:29:23 PM EDT] <KK> I had them take out the glasses lens on the side that got done first. It was still a little fiddly until I got the second eye done--and I couldn't focus close with the first eye, since I needed reading glasses for that. But still, well worth the aggro!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:29:44 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Hi Evie!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:29:49 PM EDT] <judyward> Yes, well worth it.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:29:50 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Hi Judy Ward!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:29:52 PM EDT] <Evie> hello
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:30:04 PM EDT] <judyward> Hi, Evie & WS!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:30:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And I imagine having one glasses lens just for the short time between eyes was a minor enough inconvenience in the grand scheme.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:30:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I was given a plano lens until I got a new prescription. I use reading glasses for cloe-up. like now.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:30:39 PM EDT] <judyward> I have to wear reading glasses.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:30:48 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah. If I'd had to drive much, it would have been a bummer, but since I work from home, not as much hassle as I feared.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:30:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My mom still has to wear reading glasses too.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:31:11 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> I've worn glasses since I was 7. I wouldn't know how to act without frames on my face from morning til night. Not to mention I wouldn't recognize that stranger in the mirror.

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:31:28 PM EDT] <revanne> Hi
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:31:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL at the not recognizing yourself in the mirror without glasses, DomMelchior.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:31:33 PM EDT] <Evie> hi revanne
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:31:33 PM EDT] <judyward> I scared myself driving the 2nd day after first surgery so after 2nd I stayed home 2 days.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:31:34 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Hi Revanne
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:31:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I had a pair of prescription glasses, but they broke. Now I use cheap readers.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:31:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Revanne
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:31:57 PM EDT] <revanne> How are you all doing?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:32:19 PM EDT] <judyward> How are you Revanne?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:32:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Weirdly stormy. I was looking at blue skies out my (north-facing) windows a few hours ago but hearing thunder, and then it poured for a while and cleared off.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:32:23 PM EDT] <Evie> Doing OK. Just had busy day, so I'm tired.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:32:24 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Was that actual eye surgery you're talking about KK?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:32:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've never had a driver's license, so driving was not an issue.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:32:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And now the sky to the east is blue but to the west is very dark grey.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:32:47 PM EDT] <Evie> Sounds like our weather recently
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:32:57 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Same down here DR
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:32:58 PM EDT] <judyward> We are supposed to have a "cold front" Tuesday. <G>
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:33:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Which was is the wind blowing, DR?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:33:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mother Nature is going through menopause and having hot flashes. :P
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:33:09 PM EDT] <Evie> Brief storms out of nowhere, then they're gone just as fast. Not severe, just very wet.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:33:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not sure. The cloud aren't moving much, but generally storms move west to east here.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:33:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> *clouds
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:33:50 PM EDT] <KK> Yep, cataract surgery, and then muscle surgery to correct the double vision--so no more clunky prisms.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:33:53 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Its a warming planet......getting wayyyyyy tooooo HOT!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:34:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay. Can we please not discuss political topics.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:34:18 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh, you DID have a lot of eye surgery! But worth it.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:34:19 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Wow.....thats cool they fixed that!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:34:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's apt to get contentious.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:35:10 PM EDT] <Evie> I have two kittehs stretched out beside me
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:35:11 PM EDT] <judyward> We have a rule at lunch at work; no politics!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:35:17 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Sorry DR. Im a ecologist so it slipped out. I'll control myself better
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:35:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Thank you.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:35:38 PM EDT] <revanne> We are back to a proper summer here after last years sunshine!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:35:44 PM EDT] Mode bynw gives channel operator privileges to Evie.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:35:48 PM EDT] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:35:58 PM EDT] <KK> I think we can all agree that things are getting hotter. It's when one starts trying to assign blame that it can get contentious. But I think we're all experiencing unusual heat this weekend.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:36:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> "let is close our eyes and talk about the weather."
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:36:03 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Like my grandpa said no religion and no politics at the supper table.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:36:10 PM EDT] <Evie> Here, "summer" is synonymous with "Sunshine," albeit often punctuated with showers
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:36:20 PM EDT] Mode bynw gives KK permission to talk.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:36:51 PM EDT] <revanne> That's a very British remark Bee. No idea what we would talk about if not the weather.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:37:09 PM EDT] <judyward> We actually have had a cooler summer with no 100s till July.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:37:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't know who dubbed Florida the Sunshine State. Central FL is the lightning-strike capital of the planet.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:37:16 PM EDT] <KK> We're having 1 or 2 thunderstorms just about every day. And when the rain starts, it's like they turned on a faucet upstairs.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:37:27 PM EDT] <WidowSon> The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:37:30 PM EDT] <Evie> LOL, I started to type 'I'm in heat," but that means something completely different from what I'm trying to say, so started to change to "I'm hot," but that's not much better.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:37:38 PM EDT] <Evie> It is freaking hot here. How's that? ;-)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:37:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> ROFL
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:37:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> It's from Gilberts & Sullivan--The Pirates of Penzance. us, not is
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:37:52 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Pygmalion
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:37:58 PM EDT] <Evie> Jemler would have a field day. LOL!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:38:01 PM EDT] <WidowSon> My Fair Lady
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:38:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Indeed.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:38:17 PM EDT] <revanne> That explains it
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:38:26 PM EDT] <WidowSon> All I want is a room somewhere....
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:38:40 PM EDT] <revanne> Lol! Evie
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:38:52 PM EDT] <Evie> I don't actually mind the heat. It's the humidity that has me ready to run off to Alaska.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:38:59 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I LOVE that musical!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:39:07 PM EDT] <judyward> It's a good one!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:39:12 PM EDT] <Evie> Me too
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:39:13 PM EDT] <WidowSon> How's your Mom hangin in there Katherine?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:39:24 PM EDT] <KK> High humidity here, too. But it's better here than over on the coast and in D.C.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:39:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My favorite G&S reference is from _Tam Lin_. Janet walks into Thomas' dorm room, where he is seated on the floor amid a bunch of Tinker Toys, and asks, "What on earth are you doing?"
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:39:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> There's a story about someone who tried to introduce hot dogs to England. He advertised them as "dogs in heat."
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:40:06 PM EDT] <revanne> Oops
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:40:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And he replies, "I'm trying to make a model of a molecule of muscarine -- Good Lord, that sounds just like Gilbert and Sullivan -- for this [expletive deleted] physics class!"
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:40:07 PM EDT] <WidowSon> LOL DesertRose!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:40:09 PM EDT] <judyward> LOL!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:40:10 PM EDT] <KK> Her short term memory is all but shot, and she's increasingly frail. But she's still with us. And my sister came for 2 weeks at Mothers' Day, so that was good.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:40:40 PM EDT] <Evie> Glad she could make it
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:40:44 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Very nice your sister visiting.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:40:44 PM EDT] <Evie> and LOL, DR
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:40:52 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> We're actually having a fairly reasonable summer (so far, anyway) here in sunny southern California. I don't think we've topped 90 F were yet, and it's been mainly in the lo 80's F.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:40:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Good that your sister was able to visit and that LBM is hanging in there.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:41:01 PM EDT] <judyward> Good to be together for Mother's Day.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:41:18 PM EDT] <judyward> How old is LBM?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:41:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> There was a story about an Englishman who tried to introduce hot dogs to England. He advertised them as "dogs in heat."
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:41:48 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I hope she's doing well under the circumstances. Thoughts of peace and love coming your mom's way.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:41:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oops.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:42:26 PM EDT] <KK> About time, grumble grumble grumble. But Mother didn't recognize her at first, with nearly silver hair--and because she'd forgotte that Jeanne was goiming. Things settled dow quickly, after about 2 days. She kept saying, But you don't look like you!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:42:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Am I still here? I type but don't see it in the chatroom.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:42:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, Bee, you're still here.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:42:49 PM EDT] <WidowSon> You are BEE
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:43:11 PM EDT] <bynw> you are still here bee
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:43:25 PM EDT] <judyward> We see you, Bee.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:43:49 PM EDT] <judyward> Had she not seen your sister in a while?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:43:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> BRB, my throat says it's tea-kettle o'clock.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:43:57 PM EDT] <Evie> I take it Laurna is logged in but not here?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:43:59 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Thats funny that she was saying that to her. I'm sure she settled in finally after seeing here for a few days
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm okay. I just needed to press the PAGE Down button.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Laurna is dancing, I think.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:10 PM EDT] <Evie> Now I'm not seeing my text appear.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:19 PM EDT] <revanne> I think that I don't look like me as I get older so I understand your Mom
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:33 PM EDT] <Evie> Am I still here? (And will I see any answers if I am?)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:39 PM EDT] <KK> About 3 years.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:40 PM EDT] <judyward> I'd like to grow my hair out but Lou likes it red.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:44 PM EDT] <revanne> I thought it was my phone
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I see you, Evie. Try hiting pg dn.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:47 PM EDT] <bynw> yes you are here as well Evie
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:44:56 PM EDT] <Evie> Ah, page didn't scroll down.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:45:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Yep
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:45:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Evie, you're still here.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:45:39 PM EDT] <revanne> Can you send a cuppa over DR?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:45:46 PM EDT] <Evie> OK, good to know
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:45:52 PM EDT] <judyward> Oops! Need to run put clothes in dryer. BRB
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:45:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If I can find the dratted portal, sure thing, revanne! :D
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:46:16 PM EDT] <revanne> It's well past midnight here and I'm too lazy to get out of bed.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:46:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is page not scrolling a Kiwi thing?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:46:20 PM EDT] <WidowSon> KK are you at DragonCon through the whole thing?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:46:29 PM EDT] <Evie> I guess so, Bee.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:47:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I had a (totally not) crisis when this crud with my sinuses started, and I realized that the only plain black tea I have in the cupboard is either Twinings English Breakfast loose tea (which requires the use and thus the washing of my tea ball) or Yorkshire Gold, so my sore throat is getting the good stuff. :D
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:47:18 PM EDT] <Evie> Are you going to DragonCon, WS?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:47:50 PM EDT] <revanne> Glad to hear that DR
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:48:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I just have to remember to set the kitchen timer so the tea doesn't overbrew. Yorkshire Gold will get VERY tannic if you let it. :D
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:48:10 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, WS. Arriving the Thursday sort of 5ish, and returning Monday afternoon.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:48:20 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I'm thinking of trying to go Evie now that I hear KK will be there. I'm gonna try.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:48:25 PM EDT] <revanne> Yep, proper builders' tea
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:48:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm assuming early chat will be the 8th of September, KK?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:48:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (for September, that is)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:48:53 PM EDT] <Evie> Hope you can go! I'll be missing this year again, barring some unforeseen miracle. :-/
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:49:08 PM EDT] <Evie> We'll want a full report
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:49:31 PM EDT] <KK> I know builders' tea well. We made a lot of it during the years restoring Holybrooke.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:50:07 PM EDT] <revanne> I'm sure you did KK. A very necessary part of renovations.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:50:16 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, the 8th, DR.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:50:23 PM EDT] <judyward> Especially very long renos.

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:50:47 PM EDT] <revanne> What's the US equivalent of builders' tea?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:50:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm making it with honey and lemon, no milk, because I'm trying to soothe my throat, but I have to think that a bit of milk would do quite nicely if I were feeling better. I used to think people were weird for putting milk in tea, but I have grown up and broadened my horizons.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:50:58 PM EDT] <kiwi_29> You're all back!

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:51:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sailors' coffee, probably, revanne. :)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:51:06 PM EDT] <Evie> Coffee, revanne. ;-)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:51:16 PM EDT] <KK> Ours seemed like forever, the builders became part of the family, but it was really only a year and a half.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:51:16 PM EDT] <revanne> Lol DR
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:51:18 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> Planning to go to any other conventions, KK?

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:51:58 PM EDT] <revanne> Rehi Bee
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:52:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> In the Navy (and so I hear the Coast Guard too), they take their coffee VERY seriously and usually strong enough that the spoon will stand up on its own. :D
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:52:05 PM EDT] <bynw> been forever since i went to dragon*con
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:52:16 PM EDT] <judyward> Bee stay in the hive!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:52:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> thanks, Revanne
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:52:25 PM EDT] <KK> I'm supposed to go to the Writers of the Future thing nes xt spring--in LA, as it happens. Maybe we can get together, DM.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:52:43 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> I haven't made a habit of going for a few years now, but I'm thinking about trying to go to LosCon this Thanksgiving--if my back will allow.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:52:52 PM EDT] <KK> If the spoon doesn't melt off the bow..
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:52:58 PM EDT] <KK> bowl.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:53:08 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> That would be wonderful, KK
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:53:35 PM EDT] <WidowSon> KK could you send me some info on the Writers of the Future event?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:54:06 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> Where will they hold that?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:54:24 PM EDT] <KK> I'm a judge. But you'll do better to google it. I was supposed to go this year, but then Scott got sick and I had to cancel.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:54:45 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Roger that KK. I'll Google.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:55:17 PM EDT] <KK> It was early April this year, and I think it's held in Hollywood or environs.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:55:30 PM EDT] <judyward> That' might be fun.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:55:48 PM EDT] <revanne> Sounds good KK
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:55:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It looks like it's a speculative fiction contest (with a corresponding contest for illustrators).
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:56:20 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Thanks heaps KK.....I'll check into it........probably can't make that big a trip but who knows.

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:58:08 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I recently got the Grammarly software and it's helping me heaps with my writing KK.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:58:13 PM EDT] <revanne> Seems to have now.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:58:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> You've cloned yourself, Evie!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:58:59 PM EDT] <EvieToo> Yeah, my computer insisted I wasn't connected to the internet even though I could still see chat appearing

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:59:40 PM EDT] <EvieToo> Here's what I put together yesterday while visiting my folks: https://www.flickr.com/gp/9573389@N08/6ju5tn
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:59:46 PM EDT] <revanne> That would be Evietwo not Evietoo
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [7:59:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> That happened to me too. A aKiwi thing?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:00:01 PM EDT] <EvieToo> EvieToo as in Evie Also

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:00:42 PM EDT] <revanne> Nice Evie
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:01:43 PM EDT] <Evie> It mostly snaps together, although there are a few bolts and a tiny screwdriver for screwing them into place.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:01:52 PM EDT] <The_Bee> They almost look alive, except for the wrist joints.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:01:57 PM EDT] <judyward> Dogs are barking. Neighbor's teeny tiny Dachshund can get in our yard...silly dog.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:01:57 PM EDT] <revanne> DS has promised to take me pillion on his motorbike one day.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:02:21 PM EDT] <Evie> Yeah, wrists and ankles, although if I add bracelets and shoes with ankle straps, the joints are harder to spot.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:02:35 PM EDT] <revanne> I'd rather it was Alaric Morgan on his horse *sigh*
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:02:38 PM EDT] <KK> Speaking of e-mails, I lost my entire directory when we upgraded to Windows 10 and upgraded Firefox, so if you guys can send me just a short e-mail, I can get your addresses back in my machine. Otherwise, I'd have to back through old e-mails to grab the addresses, and I do not need a time sink like that, at this point in time.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:02:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:03:18 PM EDT] <Evie> :-D
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:03:32 PM EDT] <WidowSon> To your gmail KK?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:03:49 PM EDT] <Evie> Alaric says it's just as well it's not, as he doesn't want shoes with ankle straps to hide his joints. ;-)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:04:03 PM EDT] <revanne> Lol
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:04:16 PM EDT] <revanne> No, not his style!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:04:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Will do. I hope I have your email.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:04:23 PM EDT] <judyward> HE can wear boots!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:05:06 PM EDT] <KK> It's the katherinekurtz.author one.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:05:34 PM EDT] <WidowSon> gotcha
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:05:40 PM EDT] <Evie> Just sent you mine
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:05:50 PM EDT] <judyward> Ditto
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:06:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Your inbox is going to be full by the end of chat, KK. :)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:06:13 PM EDT] <Evie> I read that as "[Alaric] can wear boobs!" I swear I need to clean these glasses!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:06:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> O.o
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:06:29 PM EDT] <judyward> You DO need to !! LOL!!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:06:33 PM EDT] <revanne> Lol!!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:06:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> A Morgan in drag?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:06:47 PM EDT] <KK> You would not catch me on a motorcycle or motorbike. I'm an organ donor, but that's not the way I want to exercise that intention.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:07:05 PM EDT] <Evie> He is making all sorts of unrepeatable comments in my head now!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:07:08 PM EDT] <judyward> I went on one...once.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:07:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've been on the back seat of a few but probably not apt to do it again.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:07:39 PM EDT] <DomMelchior> I'll stick with my Caddy
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:07:53 PM EDT] <KK> I sat pillion on one once, in high school, but only to go around a very sedate block. Never again. I'm smarter now.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:07:55 PM EDT] <Evie> I haven't been on one since maybe college age
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:08:13 PM EDT] <revanne> Tell His Grace I apologise for waking him up.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:08:20 PM EDT] <judyward> Yep, it was when I was in college.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:08:41 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I used to ride motorcycles a lot but not in many years.......I got smarter.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:09:06 PM EDT] <revanne> I had a little motorbike when I was in college but a long time ago now. I loved it.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:09:49 PM EDT] <WidowSon> I sent you a link to our documentary KK.....Im in it! It's REALLY good actually!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:09:55 PM EDT] <Evie> A great many men wake up, or at least perk up, when boobs are mentioned. Fortunately he has his confessor handy. Duncan's reaching for that stole right now. ;-)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:10:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:10:08 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Did someone say boobs?
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:10:16 PM EDT] <KK> Cool, WS. I'll definitely look that up.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:10:18 PM EDT] <WidowSon> LOL!
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:10:21 PM EDT] <revanne> Duncan sighs
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:10:35 PM EDT] <Evie> Did someone mention Duncan? *Evie perks up*
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:10:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:10:41 PM EDT] <WidowSon> Thanks KK......

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:12:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys doesn't bother with stealth. She just walks onto me.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:12:18 PM EDT] <Evie> He seems to think if he can edge a paw forward one centimeter at a time, and scoot his body along behind it, that I won't notice.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:12:24 PM EDT] <bynw> The_Bee, it would be katherinekurtz.author@gmail.com with a Z not an S
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:12:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cats.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:12:30 PM EDT] <Evie> Oh, he tried that first, but I pushed him off. So now he's trying stealth.

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:12:38 PM EDT] <judyward> Lou just saw where 8 people on a Fl beach were affected by a lightening strike.

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:13:25 PM EDT] <judyward> Yep, used to live there.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:14:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys is used to me evicting her from my lap so I can get up and get more tea or whatever; she just waits until I sit down again and resumes using me as a cat bed. :)
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:14:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I checked. I got the Z in my actual email.
[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:14:34 PM EDT] <revanne> Going to say goodnight now folks and try to cheat the insomnimonster. Have a good week all.

[Sunday, July 21, 2019] [8:17:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Which they both view as a cosmic joke on their militant-atheist father (who passed away a few years ago).

"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.)
