[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:03:36 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:03:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:04:35 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, DR. According to Facebook, you've had a busy weekend.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:04:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, yes.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:05:41 PM EDT] <KK> I assume you did that hem by hand. How many inches?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:05:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No freaking way did I do that hem by hand. It's nearly 6 yards.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:06:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That was why I was at my parents' house, to use Mom's sewing machine. :D
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:06:27 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, well then. You're excused. 6 yards is a lot of hem!

[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:06:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:07:01 PM EDT] Nick kiwi_81 is now known as Bee.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:07:43 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi DR and all
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:08:19 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Bee.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:08:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> How's your week been, KK (and Bee)?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:08:52 PM EDT] <KK> OK. Got a lot done. Still a lot to do. But step by step....
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:09:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Every little bit helps. :)
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:09:29 PM EDT] <Evie> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:09:33 PM EDT] <Bee> My tv went on the fritz.. It needed a new power cord.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:09:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hopefully that was a fairly easy and inexpensive fix?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:10:06 PM EDT] <Bee> Melantha still refuses to take her medicine.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:10:54 PM EDT] <Bee> I'll find out when I get the b The visit would have ben free if their equipment had caused the problem.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:11:02 PM EDT] <Bee> bill
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:12:27 PM EDT] <Bee> any news from the rest of you?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:12:49 PM EDT] <KK> What medicine is Melantha supposed to be taking? Is it a pill?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:13:16 PM EDT] <Bee> Azodyl. for her intestine.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:13:38 PM EDT] <KK> And it's a pill?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:13:44 PM EDT] <Evie> OK, dinner is ready, so I need to go
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:13:52 PM EDT] <KK> Hi and bye, Evie.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:13:57 PM EDT] <Evie> Eating on Mom's timetable.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:14:02 PM EDT] <Evie> Evie steps onto the Transfer Portal and disappears in a shower of blue-violet sparkles.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:14:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, g'night! Enjoy supper!
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:14:06 PM EDT] <Bee> yes, a pill. The vet gave me a pill-shooter, but I haven't got her mouth open yet. Melantha's mouth, not the vet's
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:14:06 PM EDT] <Evie> Bye!
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:14:16 PM EDT] <Bee> bye evie
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:14:18 PM EDT] Quit Evie (~IceChat9@OWIRCN-df2eeb79.brhmal.sbcglobal.net) has left this server (Quit: When the chips are down, the buffalo is empty).
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:16:19 PM EDT] <KK> What I do with Nicholas' pill is come at him from behind, grab his head with my left hand, pick up the pill and open his mouth with miy right hand, then push it into his mouth, as far back as possible--and then stroke his throat until he swallows it. Sometimes, admittedly, it takes several tries, because he spirs it out, but usually it's done with minimum drama.his
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:16:35 PM EDT] <KK> he spits
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:17:06 PM EDT] <Bee> Thanks for the tip. i've also been told to cover her nostrils.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:17:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We're kind of a thin crowd tonight. Bynw is at a family function, and Laurna's sister took her to the movies. :)
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:17:21 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, and I sort of hold his mouth shsut while stroking throat, which usually succeeds in preventing the spitting out.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:18:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And Judyward was here earlier but had to duck out to cook supper. She's going for her first cataract procedure done on Tuesday of this week.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:18:23 PM EDT] <Bee> DR, my puter is asking if I want to 'add network" What will happen if I do?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:18:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> What part of your computer is asking that? A program or your operating system?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:19:15 PM EDT] <Bee> The DEryni_ Destinations side panel
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:20:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, it's the IRC client. Just ignore it unless you want to join an IRC channel on a different network than this one.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:20:08 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, I'll keep her in prayer for a good outcome.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:20:38 PM EDT] <Bee> ok thanks. for multi-chatting then
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:21:15 PM EDT] <KK> She'll be amazed and delighted with the results.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:21:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Something's gone not-great with Jasta's health too, but she hasn't posted to Facebook any specifics. I need to check on her, actually.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:21:21 PM EDT] <Bee> prayers and woodgies for Melantha much appreciated
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:21:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, Bee, exactly.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:21:55 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, Jasta is having some major problems. She'll tell folk when she's ready.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:22:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Would you like me to make a prayer request thread on the forum for Melantha? Heck, I should have asked Judy if she wanted one for her surgery. I don't like to post prayer request threads for people without their okay.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:22:22 PM EDT] <Bee> not too serious, I hope.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:22:48 PM EDT] <Bee> Thank you, DR. It won't hurt.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:23:32 PM EDT] * Bee sends better-health woodgies to JastaElf.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:23:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's what I figure. Regardless of how or whether one prays or holds someone/a situation in their thoughts, they're charging the air with good energy. :)
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:25:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The Pod-Child aka my daughter could use some stress-reduction and positive-academic woodgies. She's working on her RN, while working as an LPN, so she is a busy Kiddo.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:25:56 PM EDT] <Bee> Early this morning Melantha kept insisting I get up and feed her. Evidently the food already out there wasn't good enough. The vet is concerned about her losing weight.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:26:36 PM EDT] <Bee> Woodgies for the Pod Child!
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:26:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Thank you!
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:28:13 PM EDT] <Bee> Does dry cat food get stale if left out too long?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:28:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes. Carys won't eat hers if it's been out too long.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:29:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It probably doesn't happen as fast as, say, potato chips (crisps on the other side of the Water), but I have to think stale cat food is about as appetizing to a cat as stale potato chips are to a human.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:29:24 PM EDT] <KK> Mine don't seem to care if t heir dry food is out a long time. But if you're feeding one of the semi-moist ones, things might be different.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:29:46 PM EDT] <Bee> Melantha has 3 kinds of dry and several kind of wet. Worms sometimes get into the wet.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:30:24 PM EDT] <Bee> I've been puttingnew dry on top of the old dry.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:30:38 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, the wet stuff definitely can't be out for too long, especially in hot weather. I've never seen worms, but it definitely gets dried out and manky.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:31:11 PM EDT] <Bee> Wit hwet food, she'll eat some and leave the rest. I'm wondering if she doesn't like eating out of the can.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:31:19 PM EDT] <KK> Booker is anexcellent cat-dish cleaner, when it's dried out too much for the cats to touch it anymore.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:31:41 PM EDT] <Bee> Dogs are much less fussy eaters than cats.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:32:14 PM EDT] <KK> You don't take it out of the can? Try just putting out a tablespoon at a time, or about what you think she might eat. Better to go back and add more than waste toe wet food.

[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:32:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, any time my mom spills something on the floor (like, while cooking), she'll make a remark about missing the dogs she had when I was born. Dogs are good for cleaning up a little flour or an egg on the floor. :D
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:32:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Derynifank
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:32:36 PM EDT] <Bee> good idea, KK. Hi, DFK
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:32:54 PM EDT] <KK> Especially hounds. They'll eat anything, including things they shouldn't.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:33:24 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Hi all. Sorry to be late, just got back from the hospital
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:33:32 PM EDT] <Bee> I once saw a dog getdrunk from helping herself to soneone's drink that was left within her reach.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:33:55 PM EDT] <Bee> hospital? snything serious?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:33:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The dogs Mom had when I was born were Sunshine, a heaven-knows-what mixed breed about the size of a border collie or Sheltie and looked like that except that her coat was blonde, and Neil, Sunshine's son from the Labrador next door.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:34:02 PM EDT] <Bee> anything
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:34:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yikes, Derynifank! Anything serious?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:34:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or, more to the point, are you and yours okay?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:35:07 PM EDT] <Derynifank> My DDH has been in the hospital since 6/12 when he had surgeery. He is recovering, just slowly. I was visiting
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:35:20 PM EDT] <Bee> surgery for what?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:35:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Good to know he's recovering at least.

[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:35:41 PM EDT] <Evie> rehi
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:36:54 PM EDT] <Derynifank> He has a colostomy reversal and hernia repair. His heart is not the best so it was a little dicey for awahile but things are better now
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:37:09 PM EDT] <Bee> OUCH!
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:37:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ouch! I'm glad he came through okay, and I hope the recovery trend continues.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:37:28 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Thanks
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:37:50 PM EDT] <Bee> K's DDH.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:38:15 PM EDT] * Bee sends healing woodgies to DFK's DDH
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:38:35 PM EDT] <KK> Ditto that.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:38:40 PM EDT] <Derynifank> thanks so much. All prayers and good thoughts appreciated
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:39:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Would you like me to post a prayer request thread for your DH on the forum, Derynifank? (Or you can post one yourself, if you'd rather.)
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:39:42 PM EDT] <Bee> I'm not sure you you reverse a colostomy.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:40:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Reroute the colon to its customary end point.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:40:17 PM EDT] <Bee> turn it backwards?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:40:30 PM EDT] <Bee> ah, ok
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:41:47 PM EDT] <Derynifank> That would be lovely DR. What they do in a reversal is sew the two ends of the colon back togetheer and close the opening on the abdomen. I'm probably making it soind simpler than it it. It took 6 hours and anesthesia for that long with a weak heart is very scary
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:42:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, serious yikes territory there.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:42:16 PM EDT] <Bee> Scary? I can imagine.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:42:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My ex-husband had just had a colostomy reversal (the colostomy had been required due to an abdominal trauma) when he and I met.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:42:39 PM EDT] <Derynifank> I'm very grateful that he made it and is now doing much better.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:42:42 PM EDT] <Bee> glD HE'S MAKINGPROGRESS
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:43:20 PM EDT] <Bee> CAPS LOCK IS TOO CLOSE THE THE "A" KEY.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:43:20 PM EDT] <KK> It's hard, when a loved one is making an extended hospital stay. Prayers for an optimal outcome!
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:43:35 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Thanks to all of you
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:48:49 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Am I still on? Where di everyone go?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:48:53 PM EDT] * Bee drops a pin.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:49:09 PM EDT] <KK> Still here for a few minutes.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:49:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You're still here, Derynifank. We're just a quiet lot tonight.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:49:21 PM EDT] <Bee> You're here, DFK, and so amI.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:49:33 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Yay
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:52:00 PM EDT] <Derynifank> How are things going for you KK?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:53:53 PM EDT] <KK> Hanging in there. Getting more done every day.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:55:27 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Light at the end of the tunnel?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:55:55 PM EDT] <KK> Not yet. But at least I don't hear the sound of an approaching train. :-)
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:56:17 PM EDT] <Derynifank> That's good
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:56:25 PM EDT] <Evie> :-D
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:57:42 PM EDT] <Bee> many more repairs ahead<KK?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:58:38 PM EDT] <KK> Hoping the new capital for the front column will arrive in the next week. Dining room plaster is repaired and repainted. Looks good.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:59:22 PM EDT] <KK> Oops, gotta run. Season finale of The Spanish Princess is on tonight.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:59:33 PM EDT] <Bee> I hope the work will help drive the selling price up.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:59:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, g'night, KK! Thanks for coming to see us! See you next week?
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:59:47 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:59:54 PM EDT] <Bee> By KK! Thanks for cmong. Good Week!
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [7:59:58 PM EDT] <KK> Yep. Next week.
[Sunday, June 23, 2019] [8:00:01 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Bye KK

"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.)
