[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:10:54 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:10:56 PM] <Evie> hi KK
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:10:57 PM] <DomMelchior> Good Afternoon everyone
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:02 PM] <Jerusha> And you don't want to squash it on your Kindle
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:03 PM] <irina> hi KK!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:15 PM] <Jerusha> Hi KK!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:16 PM] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:21 PM] <DomMelchior> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:21 PM] <irina> the wasps around here are mostly harmless, if you leave them be they just fly away after a while.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:29 PM] <DesertRose> I am deathly phobic.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:33 PM] <irina> only at the end of summer when they're old and bored they get annoying.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:36 PM] <Jerusha> Me too, DR
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:37 PM] <DesertRose> As well as violently allergic.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:54 PM] <irina> I used to be much more scared than I am now
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:11:57 PM] <Dennis> Hi, KK!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:12:12 PM] <irina> I think that's because I don't have to protect my kids like a tigress any more
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:12:12 PM] <DesertRose> I got stung once by a yellow jacket when I was about 12. It stung me in the base of my left palm, opposite my thumb, and the entire bottom third of my left arm and my entire left hand swelled up and turned red.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:12:28 PM] <Texanu> Hey, who else did not say hello. Moved to make some tea, and in that time mother occupied the computer, brb..
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:12:35 PM] <DesertRose> So I avoid bees and wasps like the plague.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:12:36 PM] <Annie> hi KK
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:12:44 PM] <Jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:13:01 PM] <irina> I stepped on a wasp when I was doing high-school final exams and had to go to school in one slipper of mine and one (same style, 4 sizes larger) of my father's.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:13:21 PM] <Evie> KK, I had a bizarre dream that Duncan showed up at my door and announced that there would be a Deryni movie and he'd be played by James McAvoy (and no, I have never once envisioned McAvoy as Duncan, so why he'd say that in my dream, I have NO clue!), and that filming would begin on July 5.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:13:31 PM] <Texanu> Evie, of course fondly!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:13:31 PM] <KK> Yellow jackets are horrible. Got stung on the top of a foot a couple of summers ago. <Very> painful, and lasted for days.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:13:32 PM] <irina> and I sat the exams in an antihistamine haze, and breezed through when I would probably have been frozen by stage fright otherwise.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:13:37 PM] <DesertRose> It's a good thing I wasn't wearing any jewelry. I had been out in the back yard/garden playing in the sprinkler so I was in my swimsuit.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:13:42 PM] <Jasta> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:13:46 PM] <Annie> I want James McAvoy for Locke Lamora
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:13:56 PM] <DesertRose> James McAvoy is a cutie.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:14:00 PM] <irina> is James McAvoy Mr Tumnus?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:14:13 PM] <DesertRose> I didn't know him from Adam's housecat until he played Tumnus.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:14:21 PM] <irina> lol, Adam's housecat
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:14:23 PM] <Jemler> irina, yers he is
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:14:29 PM] <Evie> Oh lordy, I had a yellow jacket fly up my skirt at an SCA event one time. It was just before Court, and people were entering the Great Hall, but I didn't care, that skirt got hiked up nearly to my waist so fast just to get rid of the yellow jacket! :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:14:47 PM] <Jasta> Adam's housecat actually played Reepicheep. The make-up job was fantastic.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:14:51 PM] <DesertRose> Oh crap, Evie. I'd have flipped my lid if one flew up my clothes.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:14:52 PM] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:14:52 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:14:58 PM] <Annie> lol Jasta
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:15:05 PM] <Jasta> :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:15:15 PM] <Evie> Try not realizing it until it stings your thigh, DR. Twice!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:15:20 PM] <DesertRose> OUCH!!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:15:23 PM] <irina> Jasta: about the right size!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:15:27 PM] <Dennis> That was Eddie Izzard! I'm still made they recast him for DAWN TREADER.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:15:30 PM] <Jerusha> Double ouch!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:15:30 PM] <DesertRose> And if I got stung twice, I'd be on the way to the ER.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:15:50 PM] <DesertRose> The way I react to stings, it's no joke.

[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:15:53 PM] <irina> DesertRose: yes, me too, with one sting I can just take a strong antihistamine pill and lie down for a couple of hours.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:15:57 PM] <DesertRose> Hey BalanceTheEnergies.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:00 PM] <Jasta> Hi Balance
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:04 PM] <Jemler> if you're lucky, noah wyle would be on duty.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:04 PM] <Jerusha> Hi BTE!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:04 PM] <Evie> Hi BTE!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:09 PM] <Jemler> hi bte
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:10 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Jemler.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:15 PM] <Texanu> Hi, BTE
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:24 PM] * irina goes back to writing with some determinatoin

[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:29 PM] <irina> determination, even
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:33 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Bee
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:36 PM] <Jemler> hi bee
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:38 PM] <KK> Did someone get stung recently, or are we reminiscing about past stings?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:46 PM] Nick mib_obq10a is now known as the_Bee.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:53 PM] <DesertRose> irina said that a wasp landed on her Kindle last summer.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:16:59 PM] <Jasta> Hi, Bee!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:05 PM] <Evie> and the discussion snowballed from there
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:06 PM] <DesertRose> And I told her I'd have freaked out over it because of my allergy.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:06 PM] <the_Bee> Hi all
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:10 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Bee! *hugs*
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:12 PM] <irina> my kobo in fact, but yes, it was sitting in the right margin turning pages.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:13 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Hello all. Am using browser, since AndChat is giving me fits.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:15 PM] <KK> Ah.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:15 PM] <Evie> hi Bee
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:16 PM] <Texanu> Hi, Bee
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:17 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, kindle, duh.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:27 PM] <DesertRose> Her e-reader. There. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:45 PM] <the_Bee> \\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:47 PM] <Jerusha> Or her wasp-reader
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:48 PM] <irina> what?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:48 PM] <KK> Yellow jackets can turn pages?!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:52 PM] <Evie> Glad you got the browser chat to work, BTE
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:52 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Melantha.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:53 PM] <Jasta> lol
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:17:58 PM] <irina> yes, when you have a touchscreen
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:18:04 PM] <irina> so can raindrops
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:18:09 PM] <KK> Yike!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:18:28 PM] <DesertRose> BalanceTheEnergies: Glad to see you, however you got into chat! :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:18:30 PM] <Annie> had to google yellow jackets
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:18:31 PM] <Evie> I'd be more worried about damaged electronics than turned pages in the rain
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:18:49 PM] <DesertRose> Yellow jackets are nasty little evil-tempered bee/wasp-type things.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:18:56 PM] <Jemler> what can spelling bees do?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:18:58 PM] <Jasta> So how's your week been, KK?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:19:05 PM] <DesertRose> Tie, this week, Jemler.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:19:09 PM] <irina> I usually go inside at the first drop when I'm using anything electronic but that first drop *can* turn a page, or get a word defined.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:19:20 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Aside from insects, have I missed much?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:19:32 PM] <Evie> More bee-sized, Annie, but they don't lose their stingers, so they can sting repeatedly, and they are nasty and temperamental, unlike honeybees, which usually only sting if provoked.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:19:37 PM] <irina> Jemler: they can do proofreading, I hope.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:19:44 PM] <Jasta> not awfully, no, BTE
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:19:44 PM] <DesertRose> There was a tie at the national spelling bee this week for the first time in something like 50 years.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:19:51 PM] <Annie> ok
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:19:58 PM] <the_Bee> since 1962
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:20:09 PM] <Annie> they just looked like wasps to me, from the pictures
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:20:15 PM] <DesertRose> They are mean little suckers.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:20:17 PM] <Jemler> Piers Anthony used Spelling Bees in his story Castle Roogna.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:20:27 PM] <Jerusha> wasp-like with an attitude
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:20:35 PM] <KK> OK. I had a plumbing scare that I thought would lead to tearing out the wall behind a sink, that had just been redone; but it was something else much easier that was leaking.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:20:44 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, that's a relief, KK.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:20:44 PM] <Jasta> oh lordy....
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:20:57 PM] <DesertRose> At least it was something easy to fix.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:20:59 PM] <Evie> oh noes! Glad it wasn't as bad as you thought!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:20:59 PM] <KK> How can they have a tie? Don't they just keep giving out words until someone misses one?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:00 PM] <Jerusha> Glad it was an easy fix, KK
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:06 PM] <DesertRose> They ran out of words, apparently.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:15 PM] <the_Bee> they ran out of words.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:25 PM] <KK> Not very well prepared, were they?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:26 PM] <Jerusha> Seriously?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:31 PM] <Jasta> those kids were GOOD.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:31 PM] <DesertRose> Odd as it may seem, there are a finite number of words in the language. :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:43 PM] <Jasta> *eyes her OED and ponders....*
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:54 PM] <Evie> Pull out some archaic ones.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:54 PM] <KK> Not so many as that.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:21:55 PM] <DesertRose> It's a very large finite number, however.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:22:13 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Quite. I had a leak in my college dorm that did require wall demolition.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:22:15 PM] <Jemler> apparently they counted as well.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:22:37 PM] <Dennis> There are over 800,000 words in English.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:22:46 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, I knew it was a large number.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:23:01 PM] <DesertRose> and because it's a living language, words get added all the time.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:23:04 PM] <irina> I suppose they skipped the really easy ones
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:23:08 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, probably.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:23:08 PM] <Evie> but some wouldn't be used in a spelling bee. Not much point with trying to break a tie with "and" or "the"
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:23:19 PM] <KK> We'd already done the wall demolition, fixed the leak (and replaced soggy insulation), then put it back and reinstalled the sink; all done except the final trim.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:23:30 PM] <DesertRose> Oh fun, KK.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:23:43 PM] <Jasta> "Cow. E I E I O. Cow." *ding* Darn!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:23:50 PM] <Evie> Aww! Luke is here on my desk, but he fell asleep while waiting for chat, KK.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:23:51 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Well, the 800k includes lots of easy ones they won't use.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:23:54 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Luke.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:02 PM] <Evie> LOL Jasta!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:03 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Luke
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:04 PM] <DesertRose> KK, is Gus keeping you company?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:04 PM] <KK> Fortunately, it was the drain and trap, which is all inside the cabinet. So now <that's> all new.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:07 PM] <DesertRose> YAY!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:23 PM] <Jasta> Traps often contain real yuckiness.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:26 PM] <KK> Gus is nowhere to be seen right now.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:27 PM] <DesertRose> Yes indeed.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:32 PM] <Jemler> spell 'spell'. can you use it in a sebntence?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:38 PM] <irina> sleeping cats are cute.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:24:39 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, that's odd. Generally he's right up on you during chat. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:25:11 PM] <Jasta> "The spell backfired and sadly, blew up Archbishop Loris' study. We cried. Because it was a nice room."
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:25:27 PM] <Jemler> Jasta, LOL
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:25:29 PM] <KK> I think he went out to dig a little hole and harass the birds--or squirrels--or chipmunks.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:25:30 PM] <Evie> "Spell 'sentence.'" "Can you use it in a sentence?" "Yes. 'This is a sentence.'"
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:25:33 PM] <DesertRose> I blew it in a spelling bee in the third grade on the word "achievement." I still remember that because it was a stupid mistake.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:25:42 PM] <Evie> LOL Jasta

[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:11 PM] <DesertRose> Nope, I skipped the second e.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:11 PM] <irina> hi Aerlys!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:12 PM] <Dennis> Hi, Aerlys!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:18 PM] <KK> Jasta, how's your back doing?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:23 PM] <Evie> I was my school's representative to the county spelling bee in fifth grade, but I missed the word "bevel." I'd never heard of the word, and thought they were saying "bebble" or something like that.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:25 PM] <Jerusha> It wasn't needed, DR
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:28 PM] <Texanu> Hi, Aerlys
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:29 PM] <Aerlys> Salvete, y'all!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:30 PM] <Jasta> It's... better.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:30 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:31 PM] <DomMelchior> Hi Aerlys
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:52 PM] <Jasta> Still hurts, and I can neither walk nor stand for longer than a couple of moments, but it could be worse.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:26:57 PM] <Jemler> can you use it in a sentence? You just used 'it' in a sentence.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:27:01 PM] <irina> I find it much easier to spell words when I can write them down than to visualise and sound out every letter.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:27:06 PM] <DesertRose> The spelling bee wherein I messed up on "achievement" was a statewise spelling bee for which I was the school's representative.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:27:12 PM] <DesertRose> *statewide.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:27:16 PM] <DesertRose> Damn typos.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:27:33 PM] <irina> we don't have spelling bees in the Netherlands but we do have a reading-aloud contest
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:27:36 PM] <Jemler> statewise? what state were you in?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:27:40 PM] <KK> I understand that it's common practice to write the word on one's hand before spelling it out loud.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:27:50 PM] <irina> oh! yes, I could totally do that
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:27:50 PM] <DesertRose> Jemler: :P
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:27:52 PM] <Evie> that would help kinesthetic learners
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:28:01 PM] <Jemler> my hand isn't that big!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:28:18 PM] <DesertRose> That would, but we weren't allowed to do it. We had to spell the word out loud within a certain amount of time. It was strict rules.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:28:22 PM] <irina> I think you just write it with a finger, not visibly
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:28:27 PM] <DesertRose> It was also thirty years ago.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:28:46 PM] <Aerlys> yep, I messed up in our state spelling bee. Thought they asked for "anchovies" when they wanted "anchovy"
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:28:47 PM] <Jerusha> I'm going to leave and come back. I'm getting all kind of weird messages from Mibbit.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:28:53 PM] Quit Jerusha has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).

[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:29:32 PM] <KK> So, Evie, any further progress with the new little lady?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:29:34 PM] <the_Bee> rehi jerusha
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:29:36 PM] <Jemler> eb
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:29:36 PM] <Aerlys> nice to see you see you in Sunday chat, irina!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:29:38 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> hello again
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:29:41 PM] <Jerusha> Hi again
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:29:46 PM] <Evie> Haven't had time, KK. I was getting the house ready for the parents' arrival
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:29:47 PM] <DesertRose> Rehi Jerusha.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:29:59 PM] <KK> Ah, are they there yet?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:30:01 PM] <Evie> This weekend has been my first weekend to relax all month
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:30:09 PM] <Evie> They arrived on Friday afternoon
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:30:32 PM] <the_Bee> They?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:30:34 PM] <Texanu> The most difficult word in my study of English was "carbohydrates". For some reason we could not read it together with our teacher at the first time)) :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:30:37 PM] <Evie> and left again on Saturday for Dad's high school reunion, but they will return again this upcoming weekend and stay for two weeks.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:30:45 PM] <Aerlys> how long are they staying, Evie?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:30:47 PM] <Evie> My parents, Bee
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:30:47 PM] <Jerusha> Is it your Mom that makes you all the good dinners while there, Evie?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:30:51 PM] <Evie> yes!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:31:20 PM] <Evie> car-bo-hy-drates, Texanu. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:31:22 PM] <DesertRose> It's so nice to have your mother cook for you. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:31:48 PM] <Evie> I tried to arrange things so she wouldn't have to cook on Friday, since it's a two day drive to get here, but she had brought food for us. :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:00 PM] <DesertRose> That's half the incentive for my doing laundry at my mom's house, Mom-cooked supper. ;)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:02 PM] <Aerlys> does she make lumpia?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:09 PM] <Evie> She does
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:12 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, lumpia! YUM!!!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:15 PM] <Aerlys> I'll be right over!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:19 PM] <Jerusha> lumpia?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:26 PM] <Annie> what about chrysanthemum, Texanu? That was the worst one I remember from spelling tests at school.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:29 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> lumpia?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:30 PM] <Annie> lumpia?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:30 PM] <DesertRose> Basically, Filipino egg rolls.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:31 PM] <Evie> She makes Filipina food, and also lots of Mexican and Tex-Mex, since she lives on the Texas/Mexico border
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:32:58 PM] <Aerlys> Our neighbors in Seattle were all from the Philipines. Every party tey had was a real feast
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:06 PM] <DesertRose> They're smaller than Chinese-style egg rolls, but they are freaking delicious!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:09 PM] <KK> What is lumpia?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:10 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Ah I see.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:22 PM] <irina> egg roll
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:27 PM] <Evie> Like Filipino egg rolls with a crispy outside
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:33 PM] <Aerlys> great, now I'm getting hungry
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:34 PM] <DesertRose> Lumpia and pancit are two of my favorite things ever. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:36 PM] <Dennis> Any book news, KK?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:43 PM] <Jemler> i didn't know Filipinos laid eggs!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:44 PM] <KK> They sound yummy.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:50 PM] <KK> No book news.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:52 PM] <Jerusha> Jemler!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:33:58 PM] <irina> filled with vegetables and optionally a bit of meat
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:04 PM] <DesertRose> But I almost never make pancit because my recipe makes a HUGE pot-ful and I can't eat it all before it goes off.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:17 PM] <Evie> Here's one recipe, although there are regional variants. And my mom's usually have ground beef or ground pork: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/filipino-lumpia-2/
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:21 PM] <Jemler> goes off?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:25 PM] <DesertRose> Spoils.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:30 PM] <KK> What is pancit?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:34 PM] <Evie> It might be freezable, DR. I can ask
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:36 PM] <Jerusha> Are you still thinking about the Road to Killingford, KK?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:37 PM] <Texanu> Evie, now it's ok. But when I was 12 it was 'uuuurr it's an awful word' =))
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:37 PM] <Aerlys> I'm not any good at frying things.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:40 PM] <Evie> It's a rice noodles dish, KK
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:41 PM] <DesertRose> It's a meat, cabbage, and noodle dish.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:34:58 PM] <DesertRose> Or at least, my recipe is chicken, cabbage, and rice noodles and some other veggies as well.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:35:13 PM] <Aerlys> shrimp is good, too
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:35:17 PM] <irina> oh, I was thinking of pangsit which is tiny dough packages (like Chinese dumplings) with a lumpia-like filling.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:35:22 PM] <DesertRose> I never even thought of freezing pancit.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:35:39 PM] <DesertRose> It would fill my freezer, though, even if I made a half-recipe.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:35:40 PM] <KK> It all sounds yummy.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:35:41 PM] <Evie> pangsit sounds similar to what Mom calls shopao
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:35:41 PM] <Aerlys> I'd think it would freeze OK
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:35:47 PM] <irina> you can freeze cooked rice, it only goes a bit softer when you thaw it
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:02 PM] <DesertRose> I would think it would except for the cabbage. I'm not sure how well shredded cabbage survives the freezer.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:17 PM] <irina> is it raw cabbage?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:21 PM] <Aerlys> true, it probably gets squishy
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:24 PM] <Texanu> I shouls leave you now. Good noght and have a nice week! ;-)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:30 PM] <Evie> http://allrecipes.com/recipe/quick-and-easy-pancit/ One version of pancit. Again, this varies from region to region, or even according to whatever leftovers you need to use up.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:33 PM] <irina> night Texanu!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:34 PM] <Aerlys> goodnight, Texanu!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:36 PM] <the_Bee> good night, Texanu
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:38 PM] <KK> Good night, Texanu.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:42 PM] <Evie> Bye Texanu
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:46 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> bye texanu
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:46 PM] <DesertRose> Night, Texanu.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:51 PM] <Jerusha> Have a good week, Texanu
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:36:59 PM] <DomMelchior> Bye Texanu
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:37:01 PM] <Jemler> nite texanu
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:37:02 PM] <DesertRose> No, it's cooked, irina.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:37:15 PM] <KK> Yum, the pancit looks really good. I love noodle dishes.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:37:18 PM] <irina> then it will probalby freeze okay
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:37:21 PM] <DesertRose> Pancit is freaking delicious.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:37:24 PM] Quit Texanu has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:37:29 PM] <DesertRose> But that recipe makes a LOT.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:37:46 PM] <Evie> Rice noodles are sort of translucent white until you hydrate and cook them. They absorb the color of the soy sauce and other seasonings.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:37:48 PM] <DesertRose> So try fixing it for company, because it will make way more than you and Scott can eat on your own. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:37:58 PM] <the_Bee> Is it meant for a church suuper?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:38:01 PM] <DesertRose> You can.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:38:10 PM] <DesertRose> That's where I had it for years, church dinners.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:38:14 PM] <KK> Should be easy enough to halve it, or even divide it by 3 or 4. It's basically a noodle stir-fry, it appears.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:38:14 PM] <Evie> You can make it in smaller portions. Just cut your ingredient sizes.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:38:17 PM] <Aerlys> very commonly brought to potlucks around here
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:38:24 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, you can halve the recipe.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:38:49 PM] <DesertRose> I made it according to that recipe the first time and gave like two-thirds of it to my neighbors to eat.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:39:03 PM] <DesertRose> Because it made WAY too much food for me.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:39:11 PM] <Dennis> If you don't mind leftovers, you could probably eat it a couple days in a row.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:39:30 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, that's what I do most of the time anyway, because I live alone. I cook about every three days and then eat leftovers for a while.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:39:34 PM] <Evie> My mom often adds celery to hers, and sometimes ham if she doesn't have chicken (or even if she does)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:39:39 PM] <DesertRose> YUM!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:40:05 PM] <Evie> Basically the same sorts of ingredients that go into fried rice would also work with pancit
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:40:08 PM] <DesertRose> Evie, that's it. I'm driving to Alabama when your parents get back from your dad's reunion. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:40:20 PM] <DesertRose> I haven't had pancit that I didn't cook myself in YEARS.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:40:21 PM] <Evie> LOL! You'll need to bring a sleeping bag. :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:40:27 PM] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:40:36 PM] <Evie> and sleep with a cat on you
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:40:51 PM] <DesertRose> That doesn't bother me as long as said cat doesn't sleep in my hair and snarl it to death.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:40:54 PM] <Evie> the kitty alarm clock will wake you at sunrise for breakfast
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:40:59 PM] <DesertRose> :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:40:59 PM] <Jerusha> Saves needing a blanket
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:41:16 PM] <irina> a cat doesn't cover all of you!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:41:25 PM] <irina> you need several cats for that
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:41:25 PM] <Evie> This is Alabama; she won't need a blanket. She'll want a fan to blow cool air on her and cat hair OFF her.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:41:27 PM] <the_Bee> Melantha doesn't wait til sunrise.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:41:37 PM] <DesertRose> I had a cat (whom I loved dearly) when I was in college who liked to sleep in my hair and make this massive snarl in my hair.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:41:57 PM] <irina> my cousin used to have a cat that crawled under the blankets to bite her toes
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:42:11 PM] <KK> I had a cat who burrowed in my hair.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:42:15 PM] <Evie> Luke will want to sleep on your chest. Gigi, if she warms up to you, will want your tummy or between your knees.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:42:33 PM] <DesertRose> So if I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I am SOL. :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:42:44 PM] <Aerlys> Then there was the 30 lb Puppy Cat who slept on my chest when I was in college
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:42:44 PM] <Evie> That's when you play "Dump the Kittehs"
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:42:57 PM] <Jerusha> No, you'll just have to fight to get the sleeping bag back
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:43:00 PM] <the_Bee> I think I told you ffolks about the cat who had kittens on her owner's head.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:43:08 PM] <Aerlys> ew
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:43:08 PM] <Dennis> The key to Missy-cat is getting to the bed before she's chosen her spot.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:43:19 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, but then you get the looks of death from the cat, that look that says "Why did you do that, you mean awful human?"
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:43:45 PM] <Evie> How does someone not notice that a cat is kittening on her head?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:43:53 PM] <DesertRose> Seriously?!?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:44:04 PM] <Aerlys> heavy sleeper?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:44:07 PM] <Evie> I mean, I'm pretty oblivious sometimes, but.... :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:44:12 PM] <the_Bee> He was awakened in the process, IIRC th story
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:44:14 PM] <DesertRose> I shudder to think of what they had to do to get their hair clean after that. Ew.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:44:48 PM] <Aerlys> not to mention the pillow..guess I'd just chuck it
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:44:53 PM] <Evie> Shampoo and conditioner. And a few years of therapy. ;-)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:01 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, I think the pillow and pillowcase would be for the trash bin big time.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:01 PM] <Aerlys> lol
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:07 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:12 PM] <DomMelchior> I guess that would be the ultimate statement of trust on the cat's part.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:20 PM] <DesertRose> I would say so, DM.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:34 PM] <Evie> Or need for human comfort
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:38 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> quite.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:42 PM] <irina> We had a cat that came to fetch us at 2am when she was having kittens.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:43 PM] <DesertRose> Seriously.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:47 PM] <Dennis> Or malice, depending on the cat. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:45:48 PM] <irina> me, strictly speaking
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:03 PM] <irina> she didn't mind OH or the daughters but it was me she wanted at her side
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:16 PM] <Evie> She was fetching a midwife
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:27 PM] <DesertRose> The kitteh version. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:34 PM] <Aerlys> my cat hid her kittens all over the place. It was her biggest litter (8) and I think she didn't know what to do with them
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:36 PM] <irina> I was a rather good midwife, I fancu
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:38 PM] <Annie> did you see the story about the cat that adopted the ducklings?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:40 PM] <DesertRose> :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:43 PM] <DesertRose> No, Annie.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:44 PM] <Evie> I did
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:58 PM] <irina> when the last one was born she was too tired to wash it so I rubbed it with a rough towel
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:46:59 PM] <Annie> I shared it on G+, Evie
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:47:03 PM] <Annie> it's here
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:47:04 PM] <Annie> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1yfuOExfD0
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:47:11 PM] <irina> ducklings!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:47:12 PM] <the_Bee> Our cat gave birth to one kiiten in Mom's closet, then walked away and forgot about it. Mom fed it with a doll's baby bottle. Next day momcat heard it crying, went in and had4 more.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:47:17 PM] <Evie> and that would be why I saw it, Annie. ;-)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:47:38 PM] * irina pushes herself to write some more
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:47:42 PM] <DesertRose> BRB
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:47:43 PM] <irina> or I'll be here until 3
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:47:50 PM] <Annie> but a young couple had 3 duck eggs to hatch, but when the husband went to check on them, the ducklings weren't there, and there was a cat in the barn
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:48:11 PM] <Annie> they hunted around the farm, and found the cat with the ducklings snuggled up to her
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:48:31 PM] <the_Bee> they must have imprinted on the cat.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:48:31 PM] <Dennis> Awww! Gives the lie to those old Tom and Jerry cartoons with the duckling.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:48:35 PM] <Annie> Turns out she'd just had kittens and was predisposed to adopt anything little and fluffy
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:48:58 PM] <Annie> and although ducks are born able to find food, they were suckling the cat along with the kittens
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:49:01 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:49:23 PM] <Evie> That has GOT to hurt!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:49:26 PM] <the_Bee> to a duckling, the first living thing it sees after hatching is Mom.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:49:39 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Well, they found food, didn't they?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:49:42 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:49:48 PM] <Annie> there's a silly shot of the ducklings trying to wander off, and the cat trying to carry them back to the kittens, who weren't moving yet
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:49:55 PM] * Evie cups her hands protectively over her chest
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:49:59 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, I bet that's cute.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:50:03 PM] <DesertRose> Ouch, yes, Evie.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:50:20 PM] <Jemler> my favorite characters on tom and jerry: the little duck and nibbles the mouse!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:50:34 PM] <Evie> OMG, the smell of tonight's dinner is torture! Let me go peek at the timer to see how much longer we have to wait....
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:50:50 PM] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:51:01 PM] <Jemler> move your hands first!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:51:55 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Morshi says hello.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:52:02 PM] <Dennis> Touche, monsieur Jemler-cat!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:52:09 PM] <the_Bee> Hi Morshi
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:52:20 PM] <Aerlys> that was one of my face tom and jerry's!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:52:34 PM] <Dennis> Hi, Morshi.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:52:51 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Morshi!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:53:32 PM] <Evie> An hour and 20-something more minutes to go. I'm dying here!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:53:37 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Wimsey is eyeing us from the floor. Jealous?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:53:50 PM] <Aerlys> late dinner, Evie
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:54:12 PM] <Jerusha> What's for dinner, Evie?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:54:15 PM] <Evie> Yes, but not really late for our house. On a work night I rarely get home before 7:00
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:54:50 PM] <Evie> BBQ boneless pork ribs w/ mac and cheese and whatever veggies I dredge up from the pantry or freezer
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:54:52 PM] <KK> What is it that's cooking?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:54:58 PM] <Aerlys> yeah, we often eat late here, too, though 8:30 would be exceptional
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:54:59 PM] <Annie> mibbit has tried to throw me out 4 times in the last minute, so I shall take the hint and head for bed.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:02 PM] <Evie> the ribs are in the crock pot
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:13 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, night, Annie.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:13 PM] <Jerusha> Good night, Annie
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:18 PM] <Evie> Good night, Annie!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:24 PM] <Annie> night folks. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:26 PM] <Aerlys> good night, Annie
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:26 PM] <KK> Nighters, Annie.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:30 PM] <the_Bee> Nighters, Annie
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:31 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> ginight Annia.

[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:47 PM] <DomMelchior> G'Night Annie
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:55:49 PM] <Jemler> nite annie
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:56:04 PM] <irina> night!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:57:25 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> I'm curious about the "Road to Killingford" someone mentioned earlier...
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:57:39 PM] <the_Bee> KK's next planned book
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:58:06 PM] <KK> That's the plan.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:58:44 PM] <Jerusha> Will there be a Morgan ancestor in it?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:59:28 PM] <Jemler> i think so. i'm re-readind cm now, i think kenneth mentioned it.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [07:59:31 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Ah. Of course. People will want to to know about that, and why it took so long to sort out things btwn Deryni & humans.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:01:37 PM] <Evie> .
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:01:47 PM] <KK> This week, I hope to get the time to sit down and start plotting it out.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:01:49 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, you're still here, Evie.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:01:54 PM] <DesertRose> Oh yay, KK! :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:01:57 PM] <Evie> :-)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:02:11 PM] <Jerusha> Yay!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:02:20 PM] <Evie> yes, you'll need a scene to read aloud at Dragon*con
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:02:28 PM] <Dennis> Yeah. Both Heirs and Child Morgan make it clear that the actual relationship between Deryni and humans in the 200 years leading up to DR was much more complex than it seemed in the first trilogy.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:02:29 PM] <KK> And on that note, I probably ought to get going. Want to get my desk cleared before I head off for bed tonight.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:02:36 PM] <Evie> and if you're not doing an official reading, you'll still need a scene to read to ME. :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:02:36 PM] <Dennis> Have a good night, KK!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:02:57 PM] <the_Bee> good night and good week, KK. thanks for coming.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:03:00 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Good night KK.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:03:08 PM] <Jerusha> Evie needs to know what her next set of littles needs to be. :D
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:03:16 PM] <DomMelchior> G'Night KK
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:03:17 PM] <Aerlys> good night, KK
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:03:17 PM] <Jerusha> Night, KK
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:03:20 PM] <Jemler> nite kk
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:03:23 PM] <KK> I should have something to read at Dragoncon, even if it's just a later scene in TKD. Evie, you going this year?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:03:36 PM] <Evie> NO MORE LITTLES!!!!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:03:51 PM] <Jerusha> Uh huh.. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:03:52 PM] <Evie> I need to focus on making Duncan's study and other sets
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:04:03 PM] <DesertRose> The littles are addictive. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:04:10 PM] <Aerlys> let's face t, you're addicted, Evie
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:04:17 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, see you, KK! Have a good week and we'll see you next Sunday, yes?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:04:25 PM] <Evie> We've paid for the con already, KK, but it will depend on whether we can raise our share of the hotel and food costs.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:04:39 PM] <KK> Just as lo9ng as you're not giving up their world entirely. You've amassed far too many miniaturing skills to give up now!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:04:47 PM] <Evie> We pre-reserved for the con membership at last year's con
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:05:02 PM] <KK> Oh, good.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:05:09 PM] <KK> See you guys next week, then.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:05:15 PM] <Evie> oh no, I'm definitely keeping the ones I've got. I just want to focus more on making their furnishings and sets now.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:05:36 PM] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green spark.es
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:05:42 PM] <Jerusha> And more story ideas for them. :)
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:05:53 PM] <Evie> And DH will kill me if I collect too much more stuff without a designated hobby room yet to put it in
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:05:59 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Pardon me whilst I turn green. Never been to any con.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:05:59 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Evie.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:06:01 PM] <DesertRose> Night, KK.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:06:07 PM] <irina> night KK!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:06:11 PM] <KK> Using the photo backgrounds of actual settings works well, too.
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:06:11 PM] <Evie> right now it's taking up space in dining room and living room, plus part of the basement
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:06:17 PM] <Jerusha> So when is DH starting the addition?
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:06:22 PM] <DesertRose> ROFL, Jerusha.

[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:06:40 PM] <Evie> Don't I wish, but if he were adding one, it better be a bigger kitchen!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:06:45 PM] <Evie> Hi, MRess!
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:06:47 PM] <Aerlys> no, her kids just need to move out

[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:07:21 PM] <Jerusha> My kids moved out, but they left their stuff! :(
[Sunday, June 01, 2014] [08:07:25 PM] <Evie> When DS has a place of his own, DD wants his room, and then yes, her current room becomes a hobby/guest room

"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.)
