Jun 18 19:14:07 <Evie>   Here you are, though you might want to just bookmark it to look at later, since I took thousands of photos:  http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php/topic,2065.0.html
Jun 18 19:14:25 <DF64>   mibbit hates DFK
Jun 18 19:14:58 <Evie>   That last time wasnt even through Mibbit.  :-(

Jun 18 19:17:21 <revanne>   Nice tobe here -Im on holiday so I  an stay up psst midnight
Jun 18 19:17:28 <The_Bee>   Derynifank is being persecuted by mibbit.
Jun 18 19:18:03 <revanne>   Bad  mibbit
Jun 18 19:18:23 <DesertRose>   Or her ISP.  I'm thinking maybe she's having connectivity problems, because she's tried alternate clients (not Mibbit) and still not been able to stay in chat.
Jun 18 19:18:33 <Evie>   I should send her some Velcro.
Jun 18 19:18:59 <Evie>   Yeah, I know that feeling, having had connectivity problems that were clearly on my end of things before.  :-(
Jun 18 19:19:01 <Shiral>   Chat super glue
Jun 18 19:19:29 *   Shiral snaps fingers and sets up an ice cream sundae bar
Jun 18 19:20:21 <Alkari>   Poor DFK - its justy one of those days
Jun 18 19:20:38 <Evie>   Hopefully not one like I had yesterday!
Jun 18 19:20:57 <The_Bee>   ?
Jun 18 19:21:28 <Evie>   When I lost my car keys while eating out, and thought I had dropped them in my van when putting them in my bag, so I had to call roadside assistance to unlock the van for me...
Jun 18 19:21:30 *   Eyikl (Mibbit@OWIRCN-44320fbc.ma.comcast.net) has joined
Jun 18 19:21:35 <DesertRose>   Hi Eyikl
Jun 18 19:21:39 <The_Bee>   hi eyiki
Jun 18 19:21:41 <revanne>   Yum ice cream is very welcome as its unusually warm here
Jun 18 19:22:01 <Eyikl>   Hi everyone
Jun 18 19:22:09 <revanne>   Hi Eyikl
Jun 18 19:22:25 <Evie>   and then it turned out the keys weren't in the van at all, and hadn't turned up in the restaurant either, or even in the pulled trash (where they might have ended up when the waitress took my tray to toss my paper dishes out)....
Jun 18 19:22:56 <DF64>   the keys went on their own trip
Jun 18 19:23:04 <Evie>   So since DH had the spare key and was 10 hours away from home, I had to ride home with some friends of DD who were taking her to work because I was unable to get home to leave her the van....
Jun 18 19:23:19 <Shiral>   Toasty out West, too
Jun 18 19:23:28 <KK>   Did you check to see that the keys didn't fall through an opening in one of the lining seams?  I
Jun 18 19:23:39 <KK>   ve lost items that way.
Jun 18 19:23:52 <Evie>   And while gathering my purse and shopping bags for riding home with them, I left my phone in the van!  And since my DH keeps expensive tools in the back, and I knew he'd be home today, I had relocked it!
Jun 18 19:24:06 <Shiral>   Me the genius once flushed my keys down a public toilet. Thank goodness I had another set.
Jun 18 19:24:25 <Evie>   The purse has no lining. It's a canvas messenger bag.  I had completely emptied it out as well as the shopping bag I had with me.
Jun 18 19:25:32 <Evie>   The working theory, since the waitress returned to my table to tell me she'd gone through the trash bag but didn't find the keys, but that the bag was a fairly fresh one since the previous bag had been taken to the dumpster, was that my keys were in the previous bag
Jun 18 19:26:15 <KK>   Bummer!
Jun 18 19:26:16 <The_Bee>   :/:(
Jun 18 19:26:20 <Evie>   Although if they were, some wonderful person there must have dug through it, because somehow they managed to turn up and get returned this morning, even though as of 11:00 pm last night they still hadn't been found.
Jun 18 19:26:42 <The_Bee>   YAY
Jun 18 19:26:54 <Alkari>   Your lucky stars day
Jun 18 19:27:15 <Shiral>   Hooray!
Jun 18 19:27:29 <Evie>   And we looked EVERYWHERE that I had gone.  It's not a big place, and the only places I'd been were the ordering line, the drink station, and straight to my table. And it's the sort of airy, neat, and clean place where it would be impossible not to see something sitting out or lying on the floor.
Jun 18 19:27:57 <Evie>   Lots of natural lighting coming through large windows, so no hidden shadowy corners things could fall into
Jun 18 19:28:00 <The_Bee>   Gremlins hid them.
Jun 18 19:28:03 <KK>   Wow, you were very lucky.
Jun 18 19:29:14 <Evie>   I'd been praying they'd turn back up, since in addition to all my main keys, I had two USB drives on it, but as time went on I went from optimistic to "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here."  LOL!
Jun 18 19:29:36 <Evie>   And especially once they didn't turn up in my van!

Jun 18 19:30:51 <DesertRose>   Hi Kelric
Jun 18 19:30:55 <Shiral>   Hi Kelric
Jun 18 19:31:44 <Alkari>   I dread losing keys like that.
Jun 18 19:31:48 <Evie>   Since we checked everywhere else, I'm kind of wondering now if some kind soul there actually went out with gloves on and did some dumpster diving?
Jun 18 19:32:03 <Evie>   If so, I owe them a huge thank you
Jun 18 19:32:08 *   revanne has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
Jun 18 19:32:24 <Alkari>   oh dear - not another mibbit tantrum  :(
Jun 18 19:33:20 <KK>   It appears that your guardian angel took pity on you, whether human or angelic form.
Jun 18 19:33:39 <Shiral>   Maybe the keys landed on the floor NEAR the trash bin in the Employees only area of the restaurant.
Jun 18 19:34:39 <DF64>   maybe mibbit has your keys
Jun 18 19:34:45 <Alkari>   Never mind Deryni magic - in those situations you clearly need a Harry Potter Summoning charm!
Jun 18 19:34:49 <Evie>   Could well be, KK.  And possibly so, Shiral.  I was with them when they checked the cabinet the public area trash container was in, but didn't go into the employees only area

Jun 18 19:41:27 <The_Bee>   doing okay
Jun 18 19:41:31 <Shiral>   Hi Judy
Jun 18 19:41:48 <Eyikl>   Hi Judyward
Jun 18 19:42:10 <judyward>   Good! Just got back from my "train trip" to Dallas...I rode the bus all the way both ways. Sheesh!
Jun 18 19:42:24 <Alkari>   Brave lady
Jun 18 19:42:43 <Alkari>   Trains I love, not buses
Jun 18 19:42:55 <judyward>   It was an Amtrak bus & only had 8 people on both ways.
Jun 18 19:43:24 <judyward>   So even if you book a train trip, you might still go by bus...just sayin'.
Jun 18 19:43:32 <KK>   What happened to the train?
Jun 18 19:43:47 <judyward>   Track problems, they said.
Jun 18 19:44:24 <KK>   Are you sure you aren't in the UK?  They have lots of track problems.  Leaves on the track....
Jun 18 19:44:25 <Alkari>   how long was thetrip?
Jun 18 19:44:25 <Eyikl>   Did you have layovers at inconvient times?
Jun 18 19:44:45 <KK>   brb
Jun 18 19:44:57 <judyward>   4 hrs Thurs, 3 1/2 hrs today. Bus actually gets there sooner than the train.
Jun 18 19:45:33 <judyward>   What's everyone up to? Is KK here?
Jun 18 19:45:51 <Eyikl>   That's surprising. Not my experience at all.
Jun 18 19:45:55 <The_Bee>   She'l be right back
Jun 18 19:46:24 <judyward>   Glad you had a better experience than me. I really wanted that train ride!
Jun 18 19:46:54 <KK>   Back.  Needed a munch.
Jun 18 19:47:22 <judyward>   Hi!
Jun 18 19:48:05 <Alkari>   I've just had breakfast!
Jun 18 19:48:15 <Alkari>   Need more coffee though
Jun 18 19:48:22 <The_Bee>   KK is a munchkin!
Jun 18 19:48:22 <KK>   There's a bus conneckion when you take the train from San Francisco to Chicago, for the first 15 miles or so, to get you across the Bay.
Jun 18 19:48:43 <judyward>   I'm having Panda take out for dinner.
Jun 18 19:48:57 <KK>   Panda?
Jun 18 19:49:22 <The_Bee>   chinese food chain
Jun 18 19:49:44 <KK>   Ah.  Scott doesn't like Chinese, so we do Thai instead.
Jun 18 19:49:54 <Eyikl>   Tastier than an actual panda, I'm sure.
Jun 18 19:49:59 <judyward>   Yep. Pretty good. Hubby wanted greasy cheeseburger & I got me Chinese.
Jun 18 19:50:38 <judyward>   LOVE Thai! My friend, Gala & I got to Thai Spoon in Round Rock regularly. Lou won't touch oriental of any kind.
Jun 18 19:50:38 <KK>   I've got a couple of steaks and sweet potatoes for us, since it's Father's Day.  DOn't know if he's heard from Cameron yet.
Jun 18 19:50:49 <Jemler>   last monday i had a fusion roll from a greek restaurant.
Jun 18 19:51:01 <KK>   That sounds interesting.
Jun 18 19:51:16 <judyward>   Yes, fusion with what?
Jun 18 19:52:05 <Jemler>   Greek and Asian. sauteed cabbage, spinach, onion and gyro meat wrapped in filo dough and fried. served w/sweet chili sause.
Jun 18 19:52:10 <Jemler>   sauce.
Jun 18 19:52:25 <Alkari>    Sounds almost healthy!
Jun 18 19:52:28 <judyward>   Sounds pretty good.
Jun 18 19:52:30 <Eyikl>   Sounds tasty
Jun 18 19:52:45 <Jemler>   definitely good! only $4.
Jun 18 19:52:53 <KK>   We had weather excitement here a couple of days ago.  MOnsoon rain (1 1/2-2 inches, two days in a row.  Or maybe it was three.  Anyway, there was flooding at the storage facility where Cameron still has some stuff stored, so we had to go over and make sure there hadn't been any water damage.  That was Friday evening.
Jun 18 19:52:55 <judyward>   The price is right!
Jun 18 19:53:10 <Evie>   LOL! When we were in Amsterdam, we had Thai food one night and Indonesian the next, and I was joking about why we weren't eating Dutch food in the Netherlands. My Dutch friend joked that WAS Dutch food.  :-D
Jun 18 19:53:15 <Alkari>   Any leaks there KK?
Jun 18 19:53:35 <Alkari>   I much preferred the food we had in Amsterdam to what we got in Normandy.
Jun 18 19:53:36 <judyward>   Hope you got it all out.
Jun 18 19:53:40 <Jemler>   i had an op procedure monday. next time is in 3 months. next time i'll get 2! :)
Jun 18 19:53:43 <KK>   Some water came in through the side, but fortunately most of his stuff was in plastic bins, or else on the other side of the room.
Jun 18 19:54:01 <judyward>   Are you doing OK, J?
Jun 18 19:54:03 <Alkari>   That's good.
Jun 18 19:54:22 *   DF64 has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

Jun 18 19:54:54 <Evie>   OK, I think DH might be on his way back, so speaking of Father's Day, we're planning to take him out somewhere for dinner.
Jun 18 19:54:57 <judyward>   Oh, the shunt.
Jun 18 19:55:04 <Alkari>   Getting cancer spot taken off liver
Jun 18 19:55:13 <Shiral>   Folks, sorry I'm melting here. Wouldn't say it was hot in my office, but two hobbits just flung a ring in  here.
Jun 18 19:55:27 <judyward>   Hope that all comes off ok, Alicari.

Jun 18 19:57:38 <Shiral>   That's why I'm going into my bedroom--the portable unit is in there. But it's one of those days when it's hot even WITH AC. The Summer Solstice means BUSINESS this year.
