[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:14:36 PM] <KK> Hello, folks. At least a few of you have managed not to freeze.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:14:43 PM] <Shiral> Worked even better than churros
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:14:43 PM] <Kildara> Good job DessertRose!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:14:45 PM] <DesertRose> KK, I seriously just about half a minute ago posted: * DesertRose concentrates and tries to summon KK.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:14:48 PM] <TerryOBrien> I managed to stay inside all day
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:14:52 PM] <EPCarpenter> Only just...
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:14:56 PM] <Jemler> i tried. dr wont even do that!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:15:07 PM] <Shiral> Not cold today in California
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:15:20 PM] <DesertRose> No, it very seldom freezes in Florida, and I like it that way.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:15:21 PM] <KK> Bee, how's the new hip?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:15:25 PM] <The_Bee> I went out on my balcony to know off th icicles. Other than that, I've stayed indoors.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:15:46 PM] <KK> Then, you're home? Or is that at rehab?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:15:48 PM] * Jemler loads up the catapult and sends a HUGE snowball shirals way!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:15:58 PM] <DesertRose> It
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:16:15 PM] <Shiral> Try to have it land on the Sierras, Jemler. We desperately need snow up there
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:16:15 PM] <DesertRose> It's chilly by local standards here but that means anything below 60F.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:16:17 PM] <KK> It's 11 here.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:16:18 PM] <The_Bee> working weell, but still sore at times. I ned to be more careful about not bending it the wrong way.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:16:42 PM] <The_Bee> I don't want to know what it is here.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:16:51 PM] <KK> It's 11 here.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:16:53 PM] <The_Bee> thetemp, not my hip
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:16:55 PM] <Shiral> Too Darn Cold, Bee
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:17:07 PM] <TerryOBrien> Its 4 in Indiana
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:17:23 PM] <The_Bee> I'm supposed to keep moving so it won't stiffen.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:17:25 PM] <Laurna> Hi KK
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:17:37 PM] <KK> You guys up in New England are really getting hammered. We got a bit of snow day before yesterday, and are supposed to get more tomorrow, nut not that much.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:17:46 PM] <Evie> 11F, KK? Brrr!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:17:49 PM] <DesertRose> Anyone want to come visit Florida? You'd be welcome as long as you leave the snow and cold behind.

[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:15 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Bronwynevaine
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:21 PM] <Shiral> And Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:21 PM] <Kildara> Wind finally died down about 3 p.m.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:22 PM] <Jemler> 0 here.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:28 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:28 PM] <Kildara> brrrrrr
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:37 PM] <Jemler> hi jerusha bronwynevaine
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:43 PM] <Laurna> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:52 PM] <Shiral> Wards keep a chatroom a little warmer!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:53 PM] <DesertRose> If I owned a big house, I would totally throw a snowbird party and have y'all all come visit me.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:54 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:18:58 PM] <Jerusha> It's only going down to -33C tonight
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:03 PM] <KK> BRB. Dog just came in and left the door open.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:13 PM] <bronwynevaine> hi everyone
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:16 PM] <Jemler> according to weather.com, it is 0, but feels like -17.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:19 PM] <Laurna> Tooooooo Cooooold for meeee
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:26 PM] <DesertRose> Unfortunately, I live in a one-bedroom apartment.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:28 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Bronwynevaine
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:36 PM] <Evie> How is Killingford going, KK, or any story plotting going on this week?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:46 PM] <Jemler> she is afk
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:48 PM] <DesertRose> She's afk, Evie
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:55 PM] <Jerusha> I'm willing to stack if it's warm DR
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:19:56 PM] <Kildara> Jerusha - where do you live? That's COLD!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:20:09 PM] <Jerusha> Northern Ontario
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:20:15 PM] <TerryOBrien> -33 Celsius?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:20:17 PM] <Shiral> Well, no wonder!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:20:19 PM] <Jerusha> Yep
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:20:30 PM] <DesertRose> I don't own a couch, though. I could let one person bunk with me, and one person could sleep in my recliner (it's comfy!), but that's pushing it.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:20:31 PM] <Kildara> -33 C is -27 F
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:20:35 PM] <Jerusha> And the whippets stole all of the sleeping furs
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:20:35 PM] <Laurna> 78 degrees F as of this moment here
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:20:54 PM] <TerryOBrien> Its only 4 F here, maybe down to 0 F tonight
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:21:00 PM] <Jerusha> Laurna, that's so not fair
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:21:05 PM] <DesertRose> It was something like 55-60F here today.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:21:07 PM] <Laurna> hehehe
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:21:14 PM] <DesertRose> Now that the sun's down, I'm sure it's cooled off.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:21:17 PM] <bronwynevaine> below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, I don't want to know
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:21:28 PM] * Jerusha makes a large snowball ....
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:21:29 PM] <Shiral> Well, it's worrisome for different reasons, since we haven't had nearly enough rain
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:21:39 PM] <TerryOBrien> Of course, I work in a place where the floor is 18 F constantly ... hockey arena
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:21:55 PM] <The_Bee> I hear your drought is still on, despite to recent floods
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:22:00 PM] <Laurna> We get may be one or two days a year below 32F and that is all that I know about being cold
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:22:03 PM] <DesertRose> It's about 50F here now.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:22:03 PM] <Shiral> Oh yeah. It's on
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:22:12 PM] <EPCarpenter> I'm not complaining- We just got our furnace finally repaired on Friday. Before that it was limping along and the temps in the house didn't get abobe 62.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:22:32 PM] <Jerusha> That's chilly, EPC
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:22:38 PM] <DesertRose> TerryOBrien: My mom used to make a crack about going to a fight and a hockey game breaking out.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:22:40 PM] <Shiral> I wouldn't bother with sweaters in those temps--I'd wear the whole darn sheep!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:22:50 PM] <The_Bee> There was a news story that we might be in for a megadrought by 2050
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:22:59 PM] <Kildara> Last year at this time we were in the throes of a 4 day power failure from an ice storm and the temp in my house got down to 48
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:22:59 PM] <Evie> KK, I added a folded-down hood to Duncan's outfit, and gave him a cummerbund style cincture. Couldn't find purple fringe, but found lots of pics of bishop cinctures with gold fringe, and I had some of that on hand, so I used that.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:23:01 PM] <Evie> http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php/topic,1226.45.html
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:23:47 PM] <Evie> wow, I just went from seeing no one typing to seeing over twenty lines of text appear all at once
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:24:12 PM] <DesertRose> Oh dear, Evie.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:24:15 PM] <Kildara> Evie - very nice.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:24:23 PM] <Shiral> KK seems to be dealing with a snow-covered dog
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:24:38 PM] <Jerusha> Only until it shakes
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:24:44 PM] <KK> Yeah, mine was squirrely a little while ago. Closed the door. It's warning up now, with my portable heater blazing away under the desk.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:24:55 PM] <DesertRose> That is exactly why I don't want a dog. I don't want to have to walk a dog in all weather, and we don't even get it that bad here weather-wise.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:25:04 PM] <DesertRose> It's not that I don't like dogs.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:25:06 PM] <TerryOBrien> DR: the current AA league wants everything more "family friendly" so its cutting down on fighting
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:25:26 PM] <Shiral> Love dogs, but I'm not too fond of pooper-scooping
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:25:36 PM] <EPCarpenter> The big problem with our furnace running like crap is our tropical birds. They don't do cold well...
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:25:41 PM] <Jemler> Alcoholics Anonymous has a fighting league?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:25:45 PM] <Jerusha> Road hockey breaks out regularly in the neighborhood
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:25:49 PM] <KK> Oh, ours have nearly 2 acres and an invisible fence, so we don't have to walk them, but they do like to be in here with me.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:25:58 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, that wisecrack came about in the late 60s or early 70s when she moved to Connecticut and Vermont from South Carolina and encountered hockey essentially for the first time.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:26:07 PM] <Shiral> In that kind of cold, I can understand it, KK
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:26:11 PM] <TerryOBrien> AA class second level minor league hockey
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:26:28 PM] <DesertRose> That's different, KK. I live in a one-bedroom apartment on the fourteenth floor, so that's a whole different kettle of fish.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:26:35 PM] <bronwynevaine> our cat won't let us get a dog
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:26:44 PM] <DesertRose> Cat hates dogs, bronwynevaine?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:26:50 PM] <Jemler> lose the cat.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:26:56 PM] <The_Bee> what's your cat's name?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:27:00 PM] <DesertRose> NO!!! Don't lose the kitty!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:27:10 PM] <Jerusha> I'd love a cat, but DS3 is very alergic
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:27:12 PM] <Shiral> NOOO! Not in a room full of cat lovers
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:27:16 PM] <bronwynevaine> love the cat, won't lose the cat
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:27:41 PM] <DesertRose> I like cats, and I'd rather deal with a litter box than have to walk and poop-scoop in my current living situation.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:27:41 PM] <bronwynevaine> his name is phantom
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:27:48 PM] <DesertRose> That's a good name for a cat.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:27:55 PM] <Jerusha> Does he like opera?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:27:56 PM] <Laurna> I will take all my dogs over my poor cat anyday
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:27:56 PM] <The_Bee> black or white?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:28:04 PM] <DesertRose> My family has one named PJ who should have been named Shadow.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:28:39 PM] <Laurna> I can see my cat hunting squires on the fence line outside.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:28:40 PM] <TerryOBrien> My family has always been dog lovers
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:28:49 PM] <DesertRose> I grew up with both cats and dogs.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:28:50 PM] <Jemler> looks like i'm the only sane one here. i'm all for DOGS!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:28:54 PM] <Jerusha> Hunting squires?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:28:55 PM] <Laurna> She catches them and then delivers themto the dogs.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:05 PM] <Evie> That's a huge cat, Laurna, unless you mean squirrels!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:11 PM] <DesertRose> I'm really fairly impartial, but in my current living situation, a cat would be a better pet for me.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:26 PM] <bronwynevaine> he is black and white, his face looks like the mask from phantom of the opera
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:28 PM] <TerryOBrien> Then what do the dogs do with them, and does she get her cut when they're done?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:32 PM] <Shiral> You'd better watch your step if you're a Squire in Laurna's Household!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:34 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, that's cute, bronwynevaine.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:36 PM] <Laurna> Ah dear I always do that sorry. Yes Squirrels
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:40 PM] <Jerusha> Maybe it's a right of passage before becoming a knight
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:48 PM] <The_Bee> I love other people's friendly dgos, but I don't want the responsibility.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:55 PM] <Shiral> How long can you evade the dog? =o)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:55 PM] <The_Bee> dogs too
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:55 PM] <Evie> I kind of love the idea of a squire-hunting cat!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:29:56 PM] <Jemler> no, that's Padawan.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:03 PM] <TerryOBrien> I can't afford the responsibility at the moment
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:05 PM] <Shiral> I mean the cat
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:19 PM] Join Dennis has joined this channel (Mibbit@OWIRCN-e00aa7a1.ma.comcast.net).
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:23 PM] <Jemler> hi dennis
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:26 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Dennis
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:32 PM] <Dennis> Hi, everyone!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:34 PM] <bronwynevaine> hi dennis
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:37 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Dennis
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:37 PM] <DesertRose> Several of the people in my building have small dogs, and a couple of them are friendly. There's a lady who lives in my building who has a teacup Yorkshire terrier who is a sweet little doggie.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:38 PM] <Shiral> Morgan would have found a way.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:38 PM] <TerryOBrien> Good evening Dennis
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:40 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Dennis.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:41 PM] <Shiral> Hello Dennis
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:56 PM] <Laurna> Hi Dennis
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:30:59 PM] <The_Bee> Are you keeping warm, Dennis?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:31:13 PM] <TerryOBrien> that does seem to the topic of the evening
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:31:34 PM] <TerryOBrien> Then it drifted to cats ... whish is not surprising here
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:31:34 PM] <DesertRose> We actually can't have big dogs in this building unless they're certified service dogs.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:31:35 PM] <Dennis> Trying to. I had the exquisite joy of driving back from Portsmouth, NH, this afternoon. 93 was a mess.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:31:39 PM] <Dennis> KITTIES!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:31:44 PM] <Dennis> Missy-cat says meow.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:31:45 PM] <DesertRose> Ew, yuk, Dennis.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:31:46 PM] <Laurna> Contrary to everyone else I am warm and drinking ice tea for lunch
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:31:47 PM] <The_Bee> I believe it!!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:31:48 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Missy-cat.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:04 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Missy-cat
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:06 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Missy-cat
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:11 PM] <KK> I have a Gus cat on my lap right now.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:11 PM] <DesertRose> (The ew-yuk remark was in regard to the weather, not the kitty.)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:14 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Gus.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:24 PM] <DesertRose> Gus is almost always with you, yes, KK?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:25 PM] <Dennis> I know, DR.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:28 PM] * Shiral reaches out and gives Missy-cat then Gus a virtual ear scritch
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:51 PM] <The_Bee> I came home yesterday. When I went to get Melantha she hid under my neighbor's bed.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:55 PM] <Evie> I have no kitty on my lap since I'm not home and one of the guests is cat-allergic, so the resident kitties are all in a back bedroom.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:55 PM] * Jerusha tosses a snowball into Launa's iced tea
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:55 PM] <Shiral> Dmitri has been glued to me since I got home last night. Francesca is busy being aloof
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:55 PM] <Dennis> I think the Miss is actually in the bedroom. Which reminds me. It's feeding time at the zoo. BRB.

[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:32:59 PM] <Jemler> don't forget melantha
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:33:02 PM] <DesertRose> She's mad at you, Bee.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:33:15 PM] * DesertRose sends Melantha some scritches.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:33:29 PM] <KK> I am Gus's Person.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:33:38 PM] <Jerusha> Glad you are home now, Bee
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:33:43 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, for once you can type without Luke interference, huh, Evie?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:33:44 PM] <TerryOBrien> Hi, Gus's Person
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:33:49 PM] <Shiral> I am glad you have your household status clear, KK. =o)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:33:50 PM] <Evie> She may think you smell funny, Bee. Gigi has the same reaction to Luke when he gets out and then comes back in the house.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:33:51 PM] <The_Bee> She seems to have forgiven me by now. she slept in my bed. I had to wind my weak leg around her.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:33:51 PM] <KK> Tht's right, you wre in Mexico, yes?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:34:03 PM] <Shiral> I was
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:34:17 PM] <Shiral> I had to leave the country until the Super Bowl was over
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:34:19 PM] <Jerusha> Was it nice?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:34:21 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:34:26 PM] <TerryOBrien> Welcome to Cat Lovers Anonymous
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:34:30 PM] <Evie> lol Shiral
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:34:53 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, TerryOBrien.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:35:02 PM] <KK> I actually watched a little of the game, just before the halftime show. Not bad.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:35:09 PM] <TerryOBrien> https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=519474118156241
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:35:25 PM] <Shiral> It was. At least most of it was, but I caught an upper respiratory infection I couldn't shake. I've been coughing like I have TB. But the anti-biotics are kicking in at last
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:35:30 PM] <Jemler> not so anonymous. you guys are pretty vocal about the subject.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:35:31 PM] <DesertRose> I didn't watch the Super Bowl, but I heard a LOT about it from the people in my building.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:35:47 PM] <DesertRose> A lot of the men especially seem to have OPINIONS about that game.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:35:51 PM] <Dennis> When my fiancee and I starting sharing an apartment, I referred to it as, "joining Missy's staff full-time."
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:35:53 PM] <Jemler> steelers weren't in it.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:35:54 PM] <Jerusha> That's no fun, Shiral. Glad you are getting better
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:35:58 PM] <Shiral> Even in Oaxaca I couldn't completely evade it since we had some sports fans in our group
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:36:16 PM] <Dennis> Glad to hear you're starting to feel better, Shiral.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:36:18 PM] <Evie> LOL @ cat on video
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:36:19 PM] * DesertRose hands Shiral some cough drops and a hot toddy.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:36:31 PM] <Shiral> It's especially hard when I can't sleep. And when I get a coughing fit, it's hard to make it stop
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:36:45 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, heavy coughing really sucks.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:36:46 PM] <Shiral> Thanks, Dr
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:36:51 PM] <KK> (Thata cat is seriously annoyed that she isn't paying attention to him, Terry.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:37:01 PM] <Dennis> Heh.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:37:04 PM] <Laurna> I had that bug last week. It is hard to get rid of. I recommend you don't catch it.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:37:06 PM] <DesertRose> I made myself a hot toddy the last time I had a sinus infection. Best sleep I've ever had while sick.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:37:13 PM] <Evie> That's what Luke is like if I'm doing anything besides paying attention to him!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:37:15 PM] <TerryOBrien> And doing everything it can to get its PErson's attention
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:37:32 PM] <bronwynevaine> cat lovers anonymous makes it sound like a bad thing, something we need a 12-step program for
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:37:59 PM] <Shiral> We had quite a germ festival in our group, and a nasty cold bug was circulating through Oaxaca while we were there. We're not sure exactly who the original carrier was.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:38:13 PM] <DesertRose> That video is cute.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:38:15 PM] <The_Bee> Cat Lovers Unanimous!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:38:18 PM] <KK> Yuck!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:38:28 PM] <Shiral> Never want to be cured of my cat addiction
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:38:28 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, almost. Jemler is a dog person.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:38:40 PM] <TerryOBrien> I should dig up the link for the "Pets Helping Yoga" video ... you can imagine what is happening
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:39:05 PM] <Shiral> I was ready to come home in many ways, although Oaxaca was beautiful. But our days were busy, and I was having a hard time sleeping at night
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:39:49 PM] <Shiral> Haven't done much of anything, today
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:40:12 PM] <Shiral> I think I've seen that, Terry. It's hilarious. =o)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:40:17 PM] <Jerusha> You need to rest and get better
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:40:25 PM] <DesertRose> My neighbor came over and tried to help me upgrade my desktop. Operation RAM was successful. Operation Real Video Card not so much.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:40:49 PM] <DesertRose> That's about all I've done today.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:42:22 PM] <DesertRose> BRB
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:43:13 PM] * Jerusha tosses a pin at Shiral
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:43:29 PM] <Shiral> clang!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:43:44 PM] <Evie> I think I'm done with Duncan's cassock, KK
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:43:57 PM] <Laurna> Here is my new addition to my mini collection. http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;pic=220
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:44:21 PM] <Laurna> I like this new horse.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:44:29 PM] <bronwynevaine> evie can't wait to fit Duncan for his cassock
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:44:45 PM] <Jerusha> Very nice, Laurna
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:45:11 PM] <Laurna> I added real horse hair to the tail. made it look better.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:45:19 PM] <Evie> Nice, Laurna!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:45:21 PM] <KK> Great horse and rider, Laurna!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:45:36 PM] <Jerusha> Real horse hair?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:45:41 PM] <Laurna> Thanks I like him.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:46:15 PM] <Laurna> Yes I have a black mare named Shaddow Dancer. she supplied some nice tail hair.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:46:18 PM] <KK> I like the rider's spurs, too.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:46:45 PM] <Laurna> I got those a few months ago.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:47:04 PM] <Evie> I've already fit mini-Duncan for his cassock, bronwynevaine. http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php/topic,1226.45.html
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:47:49 PM] <KK> Cassock looks <much> better with the cowl on the capelet..
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:47:54 PM] <Evie> Laurna, are those spurs from the Ignite medieval action figures?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:48:07 PM] <Jerusha> I have a feeling Morgan may be bugging you for equal time soon, Evie
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:48:16 PM] <Evie> Yes, I like it better with the hood
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:48:38 PM] <Laurna> I have know idea. they came separate. they are red painted leather but the red paint comes off if you play with it too much.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:48:48 PM] <bronwynevaine> I'm not talking about a mini-Duncan, I'm thinking the life-size version.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:48:49 PM] <Evie> I hate to make too many outfits for Morgan until I'm sure he's on a permanent body
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:49:17 PM] <Shiral> As Dr. Frankenstein once said...
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:49:18 PM] <Evie> Naah, that's way too much hand sewing for me, bronwynevaine, and I don't like sewing machines. ;-)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:49:25 PM] <Jerusha> Morgan looks shocked. What???
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:49:38 PM] <Laurna> Poor morgan
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:49:57 PM] <Jerusha> Richenda wonders what is next
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:50:01 PM] <Shiral> Just imagine how mini Richenda feels about that revelation. =o)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:50:05 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:50:11 PM] <Evie> Morgan's current body is OK, but he looks stupid attempting to sit on a horse, so I want to move him to a real action figure body if I can find a decent one and figure out how to adapt his head to fit it
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:50:29 PM] <bronwynevaine> Delegate the sewing, supervise the fitting
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:50:32 PM] <Evie> mini-Richenda has already tried out two bodies before settling on her current one. She can cope.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:50:38 PM] <Dennis> Mini-Donal has something to do with mini-Morgan not having a permanent body, I'll bet.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:51:13 PM] <Evie> lol! Since I have no mini-Donal, that's not a danger
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:52:12 PM] <Evie> I have a lead on some inexpensive action figure bodies that come in a taller-than-usual size, but I haven't found out yet if the color is compatible with a Ken head or if it's way too dark like most action figure bodies
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:53:22 PM] <KK> I suspect the only way to know for sure is to buy one.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:54:06 PM] <Evie> I'm hoping someone on the action figure forum I'm on will buy one first and do photos with a Ken head so I'm not out the money on a useless body if it's not compatible
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:54:55 PM] <Laurna> My mini black knight is on an Aragorn action figure the color seems to match and I like the broad shoulders but the head joint is a pain in the neck.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:55:09 PM] <Shiral> "Doll Bodies On a Budget" Perfect title for Evie's Mini-Deryni How-to" manual
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:55:13 PM] <Jerusha>
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:55:15 PM] <TerryOBrien> no pun intended, Laurna?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:55:33 PM] <Laurna> lol litteral translation there
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:55:36 PM] <Evie> since otherwise if I buy one and it's way too brown for Alaric's face but way too tall for anyone else, Alaric may be stuck wearing clothes that cover him all the way to his chin all the time. And I'd have to hide his hands as much as possible if there's a huge color difference.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:56:05 PM] <KK> Would the hands not be interchangeable?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:56:14 PM] <Evie> It's the actual Aragorn figure and not an Aragorn Ken, Laurna?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:56:47 PM] <TerryOBrien> IF there's an Aragorn Ken doll then there must be an Arwen Barbie doll?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:56:50 PM] <Laurna> Yes the aragorn action figuar from LOTR not the ken Aragron
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:57:05 PM] <Shiral> Arwen-Barbie....what a concept!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:57:10 PM] <Evie> Hands are interchangeable, yes, but unless they come from the right line of action figures, they can still be too dark. I use Evo figures, which are a good color match, but they are also discontinued and therefore harder to find, and their hands aren't interchangeable with other figures' hands unless you modify them
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:57:40 PM] <Laurna> Your recall that ugly head I sent you. ( sorry for bring up beheading but it was necessary)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:57:42 PM] <KK> Dark hands maybe equals gloves?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:57:54 PM] <Evie> There is an Arwen Barbie, I feel sure. I know there is Galadriel Barbie, since I used the head from one to make Evaine
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:57:59 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, back.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:58:09 PM] <Jerusha> Ugly head?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:58:21 PM] <Evie> No, not unless gloves have veins and fingernails, KK.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:58:27 PM] <Laurna> Scary Ugly jerusha
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:58:28 PM] <TerryOBrien> Galadriel Barbie ... the mind croggles
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:58:38 PM] <Evie> It would be better just to buy black "gloved" action figure hands for a gloved look.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:58:56 PM] <KK> Paint the hands black like gloves?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:59:18 PM] <Laurna> The Aragorn figure comes with one black half glove. You can see it in the picture
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:59:19 PM] <Evie> Maybe, but as much as I pose and play with my figures, I don't trust the paint to stay on.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [07:59:34 PM] <Evie> These aren't display figures, so I have to keep wear and tear in mind.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:00:08 PM] <Dennis> Arwen-Barbie sounds like a great terrible name for a Mary Sue in fanfic.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:00:12 PM] <Jerusha> We want them mobile for many story lines, Evie
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:00:18 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:00:39 PM] <TerryOBrien> (Now I have images of Hurt/Comfort with Morgan and Duncan dolls stuck in my head)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:00:43 PM] <Evie> I was just admiring your horse pic again, Laurna. That looks like a Marx horse rather than a Barbie horse. Nice!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:01:05 PM] <Evie> LOL, Terry!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:01:08 PM] <Dennis> But I'm guessing there will never be a Princess Arwen-Barbie Ebony Bella Haldane.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:01:14 PM] <Laurna> Yes it is and rather expensive too. but worth it.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:01:25 PM] * Evie dies laughing.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:01:33 PM] <Evie> Wearing goth clothing, Dennis? ;-)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:01:40 PM] <Evie> Or wait.."goff"
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:01:52 PM] <Evie> Or do you know which particularly bad fanfic I'm referencing?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:02:01 PM] <Shiral> Now I'm going to think of Mary Sue Fanfics as "Arwen-Barbies."
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:02:15 PM] <TerryOBrien> lol Shiral
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:02:27 PM] <Laurna> works for me Shiral lol
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:02:43 PM] <Dennis> I do indeed. IIRC, there was a lot of Drakness in that fic.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:02:57 PM] <TerryOBrien> Evie, I've known some pretty bad fanfic, so which one are you refering to?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:03:07 PM] <Evie> My Immortal
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:03:22 PM] <Evie> The uber-bad Harry Potter fanfic
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:03:37 PM] <Laurna> missed that one
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:03:43 PM] <Dennis> That was the legendarily awful My Immortal.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:03:43 PM] <TerryOBrien> :hanghead:
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:03:49 PM] <Evie> that has a fan following for being so bad
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:03:51 PM] <DesertRose> I read a lot of HP fanfic, and never ran across that one. Maybe I should be glad.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:04:03 PM] * Shiral makes a point to NEVER go looking for that story
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:04:12 PM] <Laurna> That bad?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:04:27 PM] <TerryOBrien> The only HP fanfic I'd like to see is where the Sorting Hat says to Harry: "Azkaban!"
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:04:29 PM] <Evie> It's so bad it's good. In a watching a train wreck sort of way. In the sort of way that has people doing dramatic reading of it on YouTube.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:05:00 PM] <Laurna> Yikes
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:05:09 PM] <Shiral> All the fascination of a multi-car pile up in the snow?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:05:33 PM] <Dennis> Actually, it's so bat it's bad. But it's got to be a put-on.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:05:43 PM] <Evie> Yes. With lots of Hot Topic clothing and band references thrown in, Shiral.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:05:45 PM] <bronwynevaine> Makes me curious, might have to read it
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:06:01 PM] <DesertRose> OMG, yeah, I think I'm glad I never ran across it.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:06:02 PM] <Shiral> I feel sick enough already, so I'll avoid it
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:06:06 PM] <TerryOBrien> I think I have much better uses for my timne, like doing my taxes
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:06:39 PM] <Laurna> lol Terry
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:06:40 PM] <Dennis> I didn't make it all the way through, but I think all the characters died as often as Lt. Leslie on Star Trek.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:06:42 PM] <Shiral> KK, other than being a Snow-Dog Door monitor, how has your week been? =o)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:06:54 PM] <Jerusha> If taxes is better than the fanfic, I'll pass
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:07:00 PM] <Evie> DD and her friends used to sit around the table at lunch doing dramatic readings from it in the school cafeteria
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:07:32 PM] <DesertRose> ROFL
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:07:57 PM] <Evie> You do have to have an ironclad tolerance to the F bomb or be able to bleep over it constantly to read the story
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:08:22 PM] <Laurna> Oh the sun is setting and the temp is dropping (to 71F) I need some hot tea.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:08:33 PM] <KK> The week just sort of disintegrated without much happening other than watching for the weather. But I'm reading the treecat books to fill in background for the story I owe David Weber.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:08:35 PM] <DesertRose> My father was in the Navy before I was born, on submarines. Submariners are infamously potty-mouthed, so I have a fairly high tolerance for swear words.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:08:40 PM] <Shiral> F-bombs don't offend me nearly as much as terrible writing. in general
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:08:45 PM] <Evie> And the teen characters tend to have astonishingly orgasmic insta-sex on a rather frequent basis
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:08:51 PM] <DesertRose> O.o
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:08:52 PM] <Dennis> KK, is it going to be set in that time-period?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:09:13 PM] <DesertRose> I just don't allow them in here, Jemler.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:09:29 PM] <KK> Probably. But I'm curious; has he ever told the story of how Honor and Nimitz met?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:10:02 PM] <Evie> I'm vaguely remembering one of the main books may have that backstory in it, KK, but I could be wrong.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:10:08 PM] <Jemler> don't allow what dr?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:10:09 PM] <Evie> It's been ages since I read the Honor books.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:10:22 PM] <DesertRose> Swear words.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:10:27 PM] <Dennis> I've never read any of the anthtologies, so I don't know. I don't think the main books do more than hint.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:10:49 PM] <DesertRose> See my comment above about tolerances for cussing.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:10:56 PM] <Jemler> so why tell me?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:11:31 PM] <DesertRose> I don't know. Sometimes you push the limits of the PG13 rating here, although I think cynicalmedic was the last one I had to halfway fuss at about it.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:11:32 PM] <TerryOBrien> Never read any of the Honorverse stuff ... maybe because by the time I noticed them, it would take too long to catch up
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:11:40 PM] <Laurna> Lol Jemler has more witty ways to push your buttons DR, He doesn't need to cuss.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:11:45 PM] <DesertRose> True, LOL.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:11:51 PM] <KK> It might be in the first Honor book, On Basilisk Station.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:12:12 PM] <Jemler> when the hell have i ever cussed in here?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:12:19 PM] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:12:22 PM] <DesertRose> Puns are usually Jemler's weapon of choice, not cuss words.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:12:41 PM] <bronwynevaine> Sounds worse than a really bad Deryni fan-fic I never read. It wasn't on Rhemuth Castle.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:12:42 PM] <DesertRose> Hell and damn I generally let slide, because KK uses both of those words (sparingly) in the Deryniverse.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:13:56 PM] <Shiral> But don't ever have Alaric Morgan say "F***-yeah!"
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:14:00 PM] <DesertRose> Sometimes I'm a potty mouth, if you make me mad enough.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:14:04 PM] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:14:06 PM] <Dennis> I have a feeling it's not; he kinda jumps in with both feet. Most of the backstory in that one is about Pavel Young. I could be wrong, though. I didn't like OBS all that much. The next few were much better.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:14:07 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, no, Shiral.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:14:32 PM] <Shiral> And definitely don't make Duncan say it!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:14:35 PM] <DesertRose> Nope.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:14:43 PM] <Dennis> Yeah, shouldn't it be, Khadasa-yeah! Shiral?\
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:14:48 PM] <DesertRose> I'm trying to remember if Duncan's ever sworn at all.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:14:54 PM] <Shiral> Tee hee, possibly, Dennis
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:15:04 PM] <DesertRose> I think if he's mentioned hell, he's been talking about the afterlife.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:15:04 PM] <Evie> I think he did at least once, but it was something mild.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:15:13 PM] <Jerusha> I'm sure he has at some point
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:15:26 PM] <The_Bee> If Duncan cursed someone, he'd mean it.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:15:28 PM] <Shiral> But then, our Duncan isn't ALL innocence and light...
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:15:29 PM] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:15:35 PM] <KK> Yeah, the first one I read was Honor of the Queen, and then I went back and read the others. Sort of the way I read the VOrkosigan books.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:15:41 PM] <DesertRose> He wouldn't use swear words lightly.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:15:48 PM] <TerryOBrien> Duncan's probably sworn by someone many times but maybe not actually *at* someone ...
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:15:55 PM] <Jemler> but only awhile he was hammering some barmaid into a mattress.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:16:01 PM] <Shiral> No. But the situation would really have to warrant it.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:16:02 PM] <DesertRose> KK, you're not the only one to go about things backwards. I got into your books by reading Deryni Magic first.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:16:48 PM] <DesertRose> And when I started reading David Eddings, I read the Sparhawk stories long before I got into the Belgariad/Malloreon books.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:17:04 PM] <The_Bee> Doesanyone recall and author with a character named Nightfall or Nightshade or something like that?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:17:07 PM] <KK> Haven't read any of those, for some reason.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:17:26 PM] <Shiral> A friend of mine picked up "The Bastard Prince" as her first Deryni book. she was SO confused!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:17:37 PM] <Evie> No, Duncan's not above the occasional earthy joke, given his teasing of Kelson re: taking a mistress to sweeten his disposition like it did for Conall
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:17:54 PM] <DesertRose> There won't be any more; he and his wife (who finally got acknowledged as co-author) have both passed away.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:17:54 PM] <EPCarpenter> I tooled right through David Eddings in order because the Belgariad was just finishing up. From there on I was a hardback reader...
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:18:34 PM] <DesertRose> So you don't have to worry about trying to catch up to an author who is still actively writing.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:18:55 PM] <DesertRose> I don't think he even published anything more after Leigh passed, honestly.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:19:11 PM] <DesertRose> But, he didn't survive her by much, not more than a few years.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:19:27 PM] <Laurna> I read Belgariad like 20-30 years ago. it is still on my shelf but unopened since then.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:19:32 PM] <Dennis> I had the same experience, EP. Still have a shelf of Big Dave and Little Leigh.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:19:34 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, it's fun.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:12 PM] <DesertRose> I should re-read them, but I loaned out my copies of "Pawn of Prophecy" and "Queen of Sorcery" and never got them back and the person to whom I loaned them moved two states away.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:25 PM] <KK> Ack, look at the time! (And this cat on my lap is getting restless, wanting supper, I suspect.)
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:30 PM] <Shiral> That makes reclamation a bit hard, Dr
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:31 PM] <EPCarpenter> I had to let all of those hardbacks go in a move years ago. I had read through them so much I would have never cracked them again.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:33 PM] <DesertRose> Taking off, KK?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:37 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, indeed, Shiral.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:37 PM] <Shiral> Thanks for stopping by, KK
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:39 PM] <TerryOBrien> BTW: Katherine, have you seen where the SCA is going to have their 50th Anniversary event? Its less than 3 hours from me
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:41 PM] <Dennis> Have a good night,KK!
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:49 PM] <TerryOBrien> Good night Katherine

[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:54 PM] <DesertRose> Thanks for coming to see us, KK. See you next week?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:20:58 PM] <KK> WHere will it be, Terry?

[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:21:09 PM] <DesertRose> But I can go to Chamblin's and pick up new copies.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:21:16 PM] <Shiral> I feel a need to go take a nap, so I might sign off, too
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:21:22 PM] <KK> Hmmm.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:21:23 PM] <TerryOBrien> County fairground

[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:21:56 PM] <TerryOBrien> 10 days
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:21:58 PM] <KK> Well, I'll say goodnight, then. Everybody stay warm or cool, as is appropriate for your situation.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:22:03 PM] <Shiral> Feeling better, but still really tired after a sleep deficit spread out over four or five nights
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:22:07 PM] <DesertRose> Night, KK. Will you be here next week?
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:22:16 PM] <TerryOBrien> I might actually attend for a day or two ...
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:22:20 PM] <Kildara> Nite, KK
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:22:21 PM] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:22:26 PM] <Shiral> Hope writerly inspiration strikes this week, KK
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:22:27 PM] <Evie> I'll be retired by June 2016, so maybe....
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:22:33 PM] <Jerusha> nighters, KK
[Sunday, February 15, 2015] [08:22:39 PM] <KK> Yes, I should be here.
