[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:07:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:07:46 PM EDT] <Evie> hi KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:07:53 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:04 PM EDT] <judyward> Hi, kk
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How was your week, KK?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:09 PM EDT] <judyward> Hie Evie
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:17 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi KK and Evie
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Evie
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:30 PM EDT] <judyward> Hi, Shiral
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:37 PM EDT] <Evie> hello
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:37 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi Judyward
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:41 PM EDT] <KK> Busy, Bee. And Cameron left this morning to return to Oklahoma.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:43 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Shiral
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:45 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:47 PM EDT] <DR_laundry_brb> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:54 PM EDT] Nick You are now known as DesertRose.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:08:55 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi Bynw
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:09:19 PM EDT] <Shiral> DR, I'm glad you clarified that--was wondering if your laundry basket had learned how to talk
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:09:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Revanne stopped in earlier and said she was trying for sleep but asked me to convey her greetings to all.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:09:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:09:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I MEANT to communicate, "DesertRose is doing laundry and will be right back." :P
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:09:56 PM EDT] * Shiral snaps fingers and puts out a non-melting plate of ice cream sandwiches
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:10:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I wondered if you'd been airing your dirty laundry. D:
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:10:26 PM EDT] <KK> I'll have one of those, Shiral.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:10:41 PM EDT] * Shiral giggles quietly in her sleeve, then offers the platter to KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:10:47 PM EDT] <judyward> Hi, DR
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:10:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Nope, just washing some now-not-dirty laundry. :) Hi judyward
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:11:06 PM EDT] * The_Bee sets out glasses of ice tea.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:11:17 PM EDT] * bynw has chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream in his freezer
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:11:20 PM EDT] <Shiral> There wouldn't be any point to doing laundry if the clothes didn't need cleaning
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:11:35 PM EDT] * DesertRose makes the chat room her test group for the Chocolate Waldorf cake with seven-minute frosting that is the plan for her mom's birthday in two weeks.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:11:53 PM EDT] <bynw> a plus plan DesertRose
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:11:54 PM EDT] <judyward> Laundry is not my favorite chore.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:12:05 PM EDT] <KK> That sounds yummy, DR.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:12:20 PM EDT] <judyward> That does sound good!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:12:22 PM EDT] <Shiral> Nor mine either. But I'm a sucker for clean undies and also clean clothes
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:12:23 PM EDT] * The_Bee helps herself to a piece of cake. YUM!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:12:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have baked the cake many times, but it is an old recipe and has a tendency to behave oddly at times (my grandmother, my mom, and I hold a theory that the relative humidity affects the final texture of the cake).
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:12:41 PM EDT] <judyward> Yep, it-which-must-be-done
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:12:54 PM EDT] * Shiral is pleased to report her latest batch of pear sorbet is extremely good
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:12:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The cookbook actually recommends the seven-minute frosting, but I've never tried it. I've always used Duncan Hines, LOL.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ooh yum, Shiral!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:08 PM EDT] <bynw> 7 minute is far better
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:18 PM EDT] <Shiral> Better Duncan Hines than Duncan McLain
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:29 PM EDT] * The_Bee sends her laundry out. one of the perks of senior-citizenhood.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It does look promising, and there's Duncan Hines as Plan B, if I goof the seven-minute frosting.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:32 PM EDT] <Evie> Did someone say Duncan...oh, never mind
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:35 PM EDT] <judyward> Hmmm. Baked Duncan?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Frosted Duncan?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:51 PM EDT] * DesertRose ducks and runs.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:54 PM EDT] <Shiral> No, spreadable Duncan in a can
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Duncan Donut
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:13:59 PM EDT] <bynw> i'm sure there are a few of you ladies in here that would like to have Duncan on your cake
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:14:12 PM EDT] <judyward> Or in it
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:14:23 PM EDT] <Shiral> Well, I'd BAKE him a cake..... =o)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:14:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or cake ON their Duncan. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:14:36 PM EDT] Nick You are now known as DR_Evil_Twin.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:14:48 PM EDT] * Evie pictures Duncan popping out of a cake
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:14:59 PM EDT] <Shiral> Ahah, DR NOW we know your secret and it has nothing to do with laundry
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:15:24 PM EDT] <Shiral> Cardiel would be amazed by such a sight
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:15:44 PM EDT] <DR_Evil_Twin> Oh, I've lived by "if you can't be good, be good at it" for years. :D I just mostly keep a lid on it out of respect to the PG13 chat rating. :P
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:15:55 PM EDT] <Evie> The Royal Pastry Chef is having trouble explaining to the King why he needs a giant hollow cake
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:16:00 PM EDT] Nick You are now known as DesertRose.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:16:03 PM EDT] <Shiral> Sounds like a working philosophy to me, DR
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:16:23 PM EDT] * DesertRose puts the evil twin-genie back in the bottle. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:16:31 PM EDT] <Shiral> Alaric is going to bust a gut laughing
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:16:58 PM EDT] <judyward> Now Alaric in a cake sounds good to me
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:17:04 PM EDT] <Evie> This explains why those ladies at Alaric's court looked so hopeful that Duncan might show up. ;-)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:17:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:17:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ahem. KK, how are you doing? I thought I saw you say something about having nailed down details about attending Dragon*Con?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:17:54 PM EDT] <Shiral> But even they don't expect him to pop out of the cake at the end of the feast.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:20:04 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, DR. Arriving on the Thursday afternoon/evening and departing Monday afternoon.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:20:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> So September early chat is scheduled for the 8th, yes?

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:21:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Rehi ev
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:22:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Rehi Evie_
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:22:02 PM EDT] <Evie_> hi
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:22:04 PM EDT] <The_Bee> WB Evie
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:22:07 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, the 8th.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:22:09 PM EDT] <judyward> Welcome back Evie
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:22:13 PM EDT] <Evie_> Stupid internet connection!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:22:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay. I may miss that chat; the Pod-Child's birthday is 8 September, and Sundays are about the only day she has free from work or school, so there may be Kiddo birthday shenanigans occurring. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:23:15 PM EDT] <judyward> Hope she has a great birthday!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:23:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Family birthdays trum chat.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:23:52 PM EDT] <KK> Absolutely, Bee.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:24:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It'll probably be a blur in her memory in years to come, since she's working as an LPN full-time while going for her RN; she is a busy Pod-Child at the moment. (She should be able to finish the RN program by next spring, and then she'll be able to breathe a little, LOL.)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:24:26 PM EDT] <judyward> Good for her!!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:24:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm not proud of her or anything. ;)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:24:55 PM EDT] <judyward> We know!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:25:01 PM EDT] <Shiral> We couldn't tell, DR. =o)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:25:05 PM EDT] <KK> That's at least 2 RN's or incipient RN's in the family here.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:25:17 PM EDT] <Evie_> Yup
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:25:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Evie's DS is an RN, I believe.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:25:22 PM EDT] <Evie_> Yes
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:25:25 PM EDT] <KK> Evie, how's yours doing?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:25:53 PM EDT] <Evie_> He's doing fine. I hardly see him since he works nights and I work days, but we see each other every now and then
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:26:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Leave each other messages.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:26:20 PM EDT] <KK> At a hospital, I take it?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:26:50 PM EDT] <Evie_> Yes. The same university hospital where he did most of his clinicals for nursing school
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:26:54 PM EDT] <judyward> Is night work just a senority thing or does he prefer nights?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:27:22 PM EDT] <KK> Excellent!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:27:31 PM EDT] <Evie_> He prefers the higher pay they offer for night shift, and the free Master's degree they offered to pay for
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:27:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Smart kid.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:27:43 PM EDT] <judyward> That's a good deal!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:27:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> smart kid
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:28:02 PM EDT] <Shiral> Being notcturnal for a while is a pretty small price to pay for that
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:28:09 PM EDT] <KK> That <is> excellent! Might he eventually go for PA?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:28:12 PM EDT] <Shiral> NOCTURNAL, I mean
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:28:16 PM EDT] <Evie_> Yeah, and it's easier when you're in your 20s
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:28:33 PM EDT] <Evie_> His current goal is to be a nurse practitioner, I think.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:28:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That was part of the Pod-Child's reasoning for getting the LPN degree; she's working and her employer is offsetting the cost of the RN program.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:28:51 PM EDT] <KK> All good ideas.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:28:55 PM EDT] <judyward> Good deal there, too.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:29:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We gave birth to almost the same kid, Evie. She wants to be either a nurse practitioner or a nursing instructor; either way, she'll need a master's degree.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:29:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> At minimum
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:30:46 PM EDT] <judyward> I imagine NP pays well, too.

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:31:04 PM EDT] * Evie kicks router
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:31:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Varies by specialty, but yeah, it'll keep you sleeping indoors and eating regular meals. ;)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:31:38 PM EDT] <Shiral> Never bad to have marketable work skills
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:32:00 PM EDT] <judyward> My SIL is a graduate RN and brings home a nice check
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:32:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And living in Florida, with all the retirees and retiring Baby Boomers, she's not going to lack for potential employers. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:32:10 PM EDT] <Evie> brb, have to evict a needy, pestersome cat
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:32:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Which Evie is Evil Evie?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:32:23 PM EDT] <Evie> Both of us, Bee
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:32:30 PM EDT] <Shiral> Always good to live around those who need some maintenance. =o)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:32:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Bee, it depends on how you treat her. ;)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:33:13 PM EDT] Quit Evie_ (~IceChat9@OWIRCN-e5c4a6df.al.charter.com) has left this server (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:33:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Just like anyone. Treat someone nicely and you'll generally see their good side; be mean, and you probably will not see their best manners. ;)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:33:27 PM EDT] * The_Bee decides not to sting Evie.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:33:27 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh, there she goes again!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:33:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think her router is acting up.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:34:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> One of her is still here.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:34:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I was worried about tech issues on my end because we had a heavy line of thunderstorms roll through earlier today, but apparently the storms have passed.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:34:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, but the reason there were two of her is probably a temperamental router.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:35:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> One is enough.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:36:24 PM EDT] Quit Evie (~IceChat9@OWIRCN-e5c4a6df.al.charter.com) has left this server (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:36:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, I should be here next week for early chat (is that still a good date, KK?), but I will miss the following week because that's Mom's birthday.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:36:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, heck, now we lost both Evies.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:37:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> IIRC, two weeks from today is also Shiral's mom's birthday.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:37:37 PM EDT] <Shiral> You're right it is. although we haven't made any plans just yet
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:37:49 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, I'm good for next week.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:38:25 PM EDT] <Shiral> I keep wondering, what the heck happened to July? It just zoomed past
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:38:37 PM EDT] <bynw> wait we had a july?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:38:38 PM EDT] <judyward> So the 3rd is Early Chat?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:38:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think the only reason we have plans is that I've pestered Mom half to death about it.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:38:49 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, I can't believe we're almost into August.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:38:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 4th I think
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:39:01 PM EDT] <Shiral> Next sunday will be August 4th
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:39:07 PM EDT] <judyward> I know! Where has the year gone?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:39:15 PM EDT] <bynw> 4th DesertRose
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:39:19 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh, right! The 4th then.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:39:46 PM EDT] <bynw> august is here later this week

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:40:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> rehi evie
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:40:18 PM EDT] <bynw> at least that means paper is on sale for back to school
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:40:37 PM EDT] <bynw> beat it with a stick Evie
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:40:43 PM EDT] <judyward> Kiddos will be back in school here in about 2 wks
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:40:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Are you going back to school, bynw?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:40:49 PM EDT] <bynw> no
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:40:55 PM EDT] <bynw> i just like cheaper paper prices
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:41:09 PM EDT] * bynw is always scribbling down something on paper
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:41:16 PM EDT] <judyward> Go through a lot of paper?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:41:17 PM EDT] <Evie> Are we talking about tax free weekend? That's also a good time to buy laptops and tablets
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:41:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And this is why I've been a pain about plans for Mom's birthday: https://postimg.cc/2344T2vQ
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:41:31 PM EDT] <bynw> thats even better Evie
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:41:37 PM EDT] <Evie> Because not having to pay taxes on one takes a big chunk off the price
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:41:51 PM EDT] <judyward> OOOooo! Pretty!!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:42:05 PM EDT] <bynw> ideal time to get something new like that but not in my current budget
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:42:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The ring was originally just the big teardrop peridot, then my stepdad sneaked it away from her on the pretense of having it cleaned and added the emerald (his birthstone) and the garnet (mine).
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:42:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Since the Pod-Child was born, I've been wanting to have a sapphire (her birthstone) added to it, and I finally did.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:42:47 PM EDT] <KK> Nice.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:42:53 PM EDT] <bynw> your mamma will love it DesertRose
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:43:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I hope so. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:43:16 PM EDT] <judyward> She will!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:44:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I didn't sneak though. I just point-blank asked if I could take it and have the sapphire added, and I'm glad I did, because arthritis has made one of her finger joints swell and she hasn't been able to wear it because she couldn't get it over the swollen knuckle (it would have been fine on the finger if it would go over the knuckle), so I got it sized up a little bit too.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:44:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I wouldn't have known it needed a little size adjustment if I had tried to be sneaky. ;)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:44:47 PM EDT] <judyward> That's good, DR.

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:46:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Someone new who hasn't said anything that I've seen.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:46:40 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh, OK
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:46:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Judy, I asked earlier, got no response.

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:47:49 PM EDT] <judyward> Lots of people like to lurk.

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:48:27 PM EDT] <KK> Can someone just sit on a chat site? What if they need to do something else?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:48:37 PM EDT] <Shiral> Poor Evie that Router is not her friend today
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:48:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What's Noah's Ark doing on the Isle of Manx anyway?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:48:57 PM EDT] <Evie> It took a wrong turn in all that rain
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:49:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You can stay logged in, depending on how you get into the chat, even if you're not actively chatting or even paying attention to the computer at all.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:49:05 PM EDT] <Shiral> Did a manx cat take over the Ark?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:49:15 PM EDT] <bynw> depenging what you are using for your connection, you can potentially sit idle in the chat 24/7
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:49:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm pretty much always logged in to Discord if I'm home and awake, but I'm not usually paying attention to it unless someone is chatting with me.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:49:47 PM EDT] <Evie> Unless your name is Evie, in which case you can potentially remain in chat for 2 to 4 minutes. :-(
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:49:52 PM EDT] <bynw> my alternate connection of cloudbynw has been idle for 441 hours
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:50:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, that's your router's/ISP's fault, not yours, Evie. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:50:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I wondered about that., bynw
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:50:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, Derynifank dropped by before chat too; she's attending her grandson's last concert of the season, she expects to be here next week for early chat, and she also asked me to convey her greetings. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:51:02 PM EDT] <KK> LOL, Evie.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:51:21 PM EDT] <judyward> Tell her "Hi" for me
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:51:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:53:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, semi-breaking news. Festil got married a couple of weeks ago, and he and his lovely bride are having their reception today.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:53:24 PM EDT] <judyward> Nice to hear!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:53:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not that he shows up in chat much any more, but still. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:53:46 PM EDT] <Evie> Best wishes to Festil! Maybe he can finish his paragraph during his honeymoon. ;-)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:53:47 PM EDT] <Shiral> Well, congratulations to Festil!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:53:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:53:50 PM EDT] <bynw> he shows up on Discord but still doesnt say anything there
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:53:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sometimes he talks to me in PM, bynw.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:54:04 PM EDT] <KK> Congrats to him and his bride, in any case.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:54:13 PM EDT] <judyward> What do you chat about in Discord?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:54:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But I don't think he's said anything in the Deryni Discord channel in a while.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:54:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's a chat client, designed for gaming, but a lot of people use it for all sorts of stuff.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:54:28 PM EDT] <bynw> he hasnt :(

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:55:18 PM EDT] <judyward> Darn routers!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:55:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> In addition to being on the Deryni server, I'm on a gaming server (inactive at the moment), a study group server, an art group server that I own, plus a boatload of PMs with various people.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:56:08 PM EDT] <bynw> i think i'm in 11 most of them gaming related
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:56:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I will convey the congratulations to him in PM. :D

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:58:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Have you gotten all moved and stuff? :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:58:27 PM EDT] <judyward> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:58:47 PM EDT] <jerusha> Yes, mostly. Now it's the little annoying details
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:59:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, that's progress at least.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:59:14 PM EDT] <Evie> My parents' hardwood floors are in place, so they will probably move their furniture in next week
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:59:15 PM EDT] <KK> I don't even want to think about it!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:59:21 PM EDT] <jerusha> Like I have no room for extra stuff
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:59:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> and this is me over on the Deryni discord chat ... Eris a bot that relays the chat back and forth between IRC and Discord so we dont miss a thing 😃
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [7:59:23 PM EDT] <judyward> I would hate to have to move all this sh....stuff.

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:01:00 PM EDT] <jerusha> I need a Portal that stores stuff out of the way
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:01:10 PM EDT] <KK> At least if one has the time (whether wanted or not),one can at least cull things that are no longer needed/wanted. I try to pass some thing on to friends rather than consigning them to Goodwill or Salvation Army.

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:02:40 PM EDT] <bynw> @billricardi, then next week is early chat so that will be better for you. chat is 2 hours earlier
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:02:47 PM EDT] <Evie> Come to the next Early Chat. It should be more time zone friendly for you
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:03:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <billricardi> Don't worry, Discord is always on when I'm working or playing. I'll be around.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:03:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi billicardis
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:04:47 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi Billicarrdis

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:05:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <billricardi> Thanks! Yes, Katherine and I traded land masses. 😃
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:05:48 PM EDT] <judyward> Hi, billricardi
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:06:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, billricardi, I remember you saying that when we were emailing back and forth about setting up your forum account. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:06:59 PM EDT] * The_Bee is confused. Is Eris channeling billricardi?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:07:06 PM EDT] <Evie> Yes
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:07:10 PM EDT] <Evie> From Discord
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:07:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <billricardi> @DesertRose Yeah, it's spooky. 😃
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:07:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <billricardi> Eris can float messages from IRC to Discord and vice versa.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:07:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I didn't know you could do that.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:07:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Computers are lovely, when they behave themselves. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:07:57 PM EDT] <jerusha> I don't really understand discord, so I'll stick with chat
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:08:17 PM EDT] <Evie> Isn't Eris the goddess of discord? LOL
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:08:19 PM EDT] <jerusha> Do computers behave themselves?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:08:26 PM EDT] <bynw> yes Evie
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:08:31 PM EDT] <bynw> which is why its funny too
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:08:39 PM EDT] <Evie> What is she doing as a messenger girl? That's Hermes' job!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:08:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. She who threw the golden apple to the most beautiful and set off the Trojan War.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:08:53 PM EDT] <Shiral> Don't worry until an apple gets tossed into chat labeled "for the fairest."
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:08:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Because Discord?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, Shiral!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:13 PM EDT] <Evie> And because it ticks Hermes off, and she's Eris. :-D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Computers do what the're told, whether that's what you intended to tell them or not.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That too.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:18 PM EDT] <KK> You eed to speak their language(s). And that doesn't always help. I've just gotten my calendar to synch with my phone. (Actually, Cameron beat it into submission.)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:19 PM EDT] <Shiral> Now, we don't want to start another Trojan war DO we??? =o)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:28 PM EDT] <bynw> on discord the bot's avatar is an apple
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:40 PM EDT] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:43 PM EDT] <Evie> Is it golden?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:50 PM EDT] <bynw> yes
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:09:57 PM EDT] <Evie> :-D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:10:01 PM EDT] <jerusha> Oh my
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:10:14 PM EDT] <Shiral> So there's always that possibility for danger
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:10:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And the pantheon at Olympus has never been the most functional family. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:10:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They aggravate each other just for fun.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:10:37 PM EDT] <bynw> that is one dysfunctional and messed up family
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:10:38 PM EDT] <Evie> They put the dys in functional
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:10:46 PM EDT] <Shiral> Well, when everyone's immortal fights can go on FOREVER
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:10:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <billricardi> There was a great line from a book, I don't remember which one. Someone ends the war by cutting the apple so that the first half says 'fair' and the other half says 'est', meaning she who is. Then nobody could argue.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:10:54 PM EDT] <jerusha> Feels like home. :)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:11:35 PM EDT] <KK> !
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:11:49 PM EDT] <jerusha> ?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:12:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Eris, can you also speak for yourself?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:12:40 PM EDT] <bynw> eris just relays chat back and forth
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:12:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Slightly off color but on topic for the Greek gods: https://postimg.cc/kBMPgYvw
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:13:23 PM EDT] <bynw> that sums it up rather well
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:13:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It does.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:13:30 PM EDT] <judyward> LOL, DR
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:13:48 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds about right to me, DR.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:13:48 PM EDT] <Evie> Apparently I can't follow any links because allegedly I"m not connected to the internet. Shhh, don't tell Kiwi!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:14:13 PM EDT] <Evie> I must be sending these lines via carrier pigeon
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:14:46 PM EDT] <Evie> Or wait...AM I here?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:14:47 PM EDT] <jerusha> That explains the feather on my keyboard
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:14:58 PM EDT] <Shiral> Gotta run folks. Just got off the phone with my mom and we've made a plan to go see a movie tonight.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <billricardi> Enjoy!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:09 PM EDT] <jerusha> Enjoy, Shiral!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:11 PM EDT] <Evie> Have fun!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:23 PM EDT] <jerusha> What movie?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's a pie chart labeled, "What Causes Most Problems in Greek Mythology," and by far most of the chart is turquoise, with tiny slices of green, pink, and red. Green is defined as "hubris," pink as "fate/prophecy that couldn't be avoided," red as "some god threw a hissy fit because a human was better than he," and turquoise as "Zeus couldn't keep it in his pants." :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> byeshiral! enjoy the movie and your mom.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:36 PM EDT] <Shiral> Have a good week, and Billicardi, don't be shy, drop in when you can! KK, hope the progress continues steadily
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:40 PM EDT] <judyward> Have fun!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Enjoy your movie, Shiral!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:48 PM EDT] <Shiral> Thanks all!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:15:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, you're here, Evie.

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:16:27 PM EDT] <jerusha> nighters Shiral
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:17:47 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, I think I need to go as well. Not to the movie, alas, but to get a bite of supper and try to tidy up the debris from cleaning out a cupboard. Every time I do this to another cupboard, it ends up at least half empty, so that's a good thing. But then I need to deal with what's sitting on the counter, if it hasn't gone into the trash.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:18:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Nighters, KK. Have a good week and thanks for coming.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:18:25 PM EDT] <jerusha> I keep moving things from one pile to another. I'm not sure it is progress
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:18:32 PM EDT] <judyward> Ug! I hate cleaning. Have a good week & see you the 4th.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:18:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not fun. Thanks for coming to see us, have a good week, and we'll see you next week for early chat!

[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:18:47 PM EDT] <bynw> night KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:19:39 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, meant to share this with you last week and forgot. Do you know what the words is to describe when a cat or dog lies on its stomach with its back legs splayed out behind like a frog?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:19:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sploot
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:20:12 PM EDT] <Evie> Cute. :-D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:20:17 PM EDT] <KK> DR gets the gold star! I only just ran across the term last week.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:20:31 PM EDT] <judyward> First time I've heard it.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:20:37 PM EDT] <KK> I think dogs do it more than cats.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:20:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> a sploot cat, or my cat is splooting?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:21:01 PM EDT] <bynw> cats do it on very hot days so its always flat cat syndrome
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:21:03 PM EDT] <judyward> Your cat has splooted.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:21:14 PM EDT] <KK> He's in a sploot pose., Or he's splooting.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:21:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My cat is splooting, or sometimes as a noun to describe the position itself.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:21:29 PM EDT] <KK> Where did you learn it, DR?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:21:34 PM EDT] <judyward> laying in a sploot?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:21:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The various Facebook pages for graduates of the Critter Room, plus the Facebook group Wolfenoot. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:22:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But I saw it among kitten-cam fans first.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:22:30 PM EDT] <bynw> i dont have that kind of time for FB
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:22:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oops, the group is called Wolfenoot Central.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:23:03 PM EDT] <KK> I think I might havee seen it on kitten-cam. Anyway, it's unusual for me to run across a word that I don't know or can't figure out. Stashed that in my obscure words folder. :-)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:23:04 PM EDT] <judyward> Is it for dogs, too?
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:23:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I honestly wish someone would come up with an alternative to FB, but I still need it to keep in touch with a number of people and social groups, alas.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:23:30 PM EDT] <KK> I think so. They certainly do it.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:23:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, dogs probably sploot more than cats do, tbh.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:23:55 PM EDT] <KK> <shakes head>
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:03 PM EDT] <judyward> Little dogs, especially. Big dogs usually get too big to do it.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:21 PM EDT] <KK> Anyway, on that note, I'll step onto my Portal and disappear in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:25 PM EDT] <jerusha> Our Cavalier used to do a perfect sploot while demanding a back rub
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And cats mostly tend to tuck their hind legs under their body if they're tummy-down.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:27 PM EDT] <KK> Done.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> G'night, KK!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:32 PM EDT] <judyward> Night!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:36 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> nighters, KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:39 PM EDT] <jerusha> Night, KK
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:44 PM EDT] <Evie> G'night!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:24:59 PM EDT] <KK> That's the meatloaf pose, DR.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:25:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Gear-up.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:25:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Like an airplane with the landing gear tucked into the fuselage. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:25:26 PM EDT] <jerusha> Top Cat
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:25:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (Phrase coined by my bio-father, who held a pilot's license so he DID know a good bit about airplanes.)
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:25:55 PM EDT] <judyward> Lou has on Ice Road Truckers, which means he wants me to come sit with him and watch TV. Guess I'll go make him happy.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:26:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Spend time with your hubby, judyward. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:26:08 PM EDT] <KK> And that may have come from Kliban originally, or at least he popularized it. Cat: frequently mistaken for a meatloaf.I like that, DR.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:26:18 PM EDT] <judyward> Everyone have a good week!!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:26:19 PM EDT] <jerusha> Some things are important
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:26:27 PM EDT] <jerusha> Nighters, Judyward
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:26:32 PM EDT] <KK> Byeeee.
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:26:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've heard "cat-loaf" for that pose too. :D
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:26:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> G'night, KK!
[Sunday, July 28, 2019] [8:26:42 PM EDT] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: CGI:IRC).
"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.)
