[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:09 PM] <Evie> Yes, we have an old tradition of pelting Jemler with virtual fish when he gets out of line.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:10 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:13 PM] <Shiral> But the Marine life often flies through the air in Jemler's direction
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:14 PM] <Jerusha> Hi KK!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:14 PM] <Jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:17 PM] <Evie> Good evening, KK!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:18 PM] <Shiral> Hello Katherine
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:21 PM] <Imladris> My computer made me come up with a pun....
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:26 PM] <Dennis> It's very cool, if you're a big fan of the Deryni world.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:28 PM] <Aerlys> hello KK
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:28 PM] <Dennis> Hi, KK!

[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:33 PM] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:38 PM] <DesertRose> It comes from a function of an old chat client, in which you could throw a trout at someone. We got into throwing other kinds of fish for variety's sake.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:52 PM] <The_Bee> Hi KK
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:13:59 PM] <DesertRose> KK, we have a new person tonight. Preacher just hopped into chat and the message board.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:14:05 PM] <Jemler> kk meet preacher. preacher. kk
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:14:11 PM] <Preacher> Hello.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:14:11 PM] <KK> Hi, preacher.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:14:39 PM] <Evie> How cold is it there, KK?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:14:44 PM] <KK> So, what's everyone been up to?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:00 PM] <DesertRose> I've just come home from an SCA event that was great fun, if a little on the cool side Friday night.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:03 PM] <The_Bee> staying indoors and keeping warm
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:07 PM] <Shiral> Art work from my trip pictures and trying to get rid of my cold
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:08 PM] <Dennis> I finished the Freelance Job from Hell, and I got a cold.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:24 PM] <KK> It was VERY cold here this week. In fact, a pipe froze and burst in our garage this AM, and we had to have the plumber out to fix it. Yuck!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:25 PM] <DesertRose> How about you, KK?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:26 PM] <Shiral> Glad you're finished if it wasn't fun, Dennis
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:30 PM] <DesertRose> Oh dear. That sucks.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:33 PM] <Jerusha> Cold seems to be the common denominator
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:45 PM] <The_Bee> how bad wqas the flooding, KK?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:46 PM] <Evie> I've been searching my copy of TKD for your description of squire outfits so I can use it to make a similar outfit only in other livery colors
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:15:55 PM] <DesertRose> Even here in Florida it's gotten subfreezing a few nights recently.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:04 PM] <Imladris> 70`F here....
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:11 PM] <Jerusha> Like I said, -38 with wind chill
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:14 PM] <Evie> oh no! Glad they were able to get it fixed quickly.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:19 PM] <DesertRose> Preacher, from what part of the world do you hail?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:29 PM] <Preacher> I'm in central Wisconsin. We're looking at -30 to -40 windchills.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:34 PM] <DesertRose> Yikes!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:34 PM] <Shiral> Brr!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:37 PM] <Evie> Wow
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:40 PM] <Jerusha> Feels like home
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:43 PM] <Aerlys> I really don't miss that!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:16:49 PM] * Shiral passes Preacher a cup of hot chocolate
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:02 PM] * DesertRose offers Preacher some mulled cider.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:06 PM] <Imladris> There ARE advantages to Florida, KK
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:06 PM] <KK> Yeah, we really dodged a bullet; could have been much worse. Had to turn off the water for the whole house for several hours until he could get here.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:13 PM] * Jemler sets out hot, fresh cinnamon rolls
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:13 PM] <Aerlys> Sunny and high 50's today
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:13 PM] <DesertRose> Eek, KK.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:17 PM] <Shiral> Never fun, KK
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:25 PM] <Evie> We had a warm day, relatively speaking, but we should be getting freezing rain tonight.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:26 PM] <Jerusha> No fun at all, KK
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:34 PM] <DesertRose> I hope y'all had already showered for the day, LOL, or can now at least.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:43 PM] <KK> Low 40's today, but it's nee in the teens for several days before that.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:50 PM] <DesertRose> Brr.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:51 PM] <Aerlys> WAs there much damage to the garage, KK?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:17:52 PM] <Dennis> Yuck. We had a small closet leake, but nothing like that.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:18:00 PM] <Imladris> many years ago, before Med school.. worked for a water treatment plant, had to learn how to fix those things!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:18:05 PM] <DesertRose> We had upper 40s on Friday and that was cold enough for me.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:18:27 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, now that everyone is pretty much here, revanne says hi. She was in here for a bit earlier but had to go to bed.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:18:30 PM] <Evie> Any more plotting and planning on the Killingford novel idea?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:18:34 PM] <Jemler> wimp. wimp. wimp.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:18:38 PM] <KK> We'll have to redo some of the ceiling in there, but we caught it quickly. Like I said, could have been far worse.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:18:45 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, I am a weather wimp, and I don't care.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:18:48 PM] <Jemler> it was -10 the other day.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:18:55 PM] <Shiral> I suppose better in the garage than in your living room
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:19:01 PM] <Aerlys> DH does a lot of water damage restoration
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:19:07 PM] <KK> No, Evie, I've been reading treecat background first; need to get that story written for David Weber.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:19:12 PM] <Imladris> colder on your side DR
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:19:26 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, you're in central FL, Imladris?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:19:35 PM] <Dennis> Do you know if it's going into one of the Worlds of Honor collections, KK? Or is it too soon to tell?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:19:36 PM] <Imladris> we did set a record low for the date... 33
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:19:49 PM] <Imladris> but warmed up to the 60's later
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:19:54 PM] <Dennis> Would anyone like some snow? We
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:19:57 PM] <Imladris> or upper 50's3
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:19:59 PM] <Dennis> We've still got plenty. :p
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:01 PM] <DesertRose> We had record lows Thursday night.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:07 PM] <Jerusha> No thanks, I have lots
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:09 PM] <Shiral> Well yes, we'd love some snow out on the Sierras, please
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:18 PM] <The_Bee> We have enough snow, thank you, Dennis
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:20 PM] <Dennis> You have to come pick it up, though.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:20 PM] <Imladris> yes, DR..
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:26 PM] <Jerusha> Do you have a Portal there, Shiral?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:27 PM] <DesertRose> No thanks on the snow.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:30 PM] <Shiral> No fair that New England and the East gets it all when we really need it here in the West!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:44 PM] <Aerlys> I can see plenty on Mt. Ranier, Jeler. But thanks
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:45 PM] <DesertRose> You can ship it to California if you can figure out a way to do it, though. They'd be glad of the moisture.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:46 PM] <Dennis> Well, I know you do, Bee. It's coals to Newcastle taking snow from one Boston suburb to another.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:46 PM] <Shiral> Alas....only a virual one, Jerusha
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:55 PM] <Imladris> could save it and sell it as shaved ice, later?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:20:57 PM] <Aerlys> I mean Denis
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:21:19 PM] <Evie> I have some pretty fabric that I think will become a 1:6 altar cloth and/or some vestments fabric. Or both. It's a white on pale beige (more like unbleached natural color) fabric with a design that would look great with bits of it emphasized in gold embroidery.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:21:23 PM] <Shiral> I just wish the snow fall this month had bee a wee bit more evenly distributed, nationwide!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:21:33 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, cool, EVie.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:21:36 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, truly.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:21:41 PM] <Imladris> Good for easter?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:21:46 PM] <Imladris> E
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:21:52 PM] * Jemler throws a snowball to shiral
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:21:53 PM] <DesertRose> The northeast and northern midwest have had enough, I think, and California could use the moisture.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:21:56 PM] <Shiral> Only sewing I've done lately is hemming a new pair of pants
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:21:57 PM] <Jemler> here ya go.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:22:01 PM] <KK> Probably, Dennis.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:22:07 PM] <Shiral> Amen, DR. Amen!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:22:10 PM] <Evie> Perhaps, Imladris. It would make a nice project to work on during Lent.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:22:15 PM] <Shiral> We need every drop we can get
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:22:24 PM] * Jerusha sends an entire snow fort to Shiral
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:22:31 PM] <Imladris> White are the colours, for Easter, if I recall
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:22:38 PM] <Aerlys> or gold
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:22:39 PM] <Imladris> is
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:22:40 PM] * Shiral aims it at the Sierras
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:22:41 PM] <Imladris> yes.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:23:16 PM] <KK> This past week has been like a taste of what New England has been getting for nearly a month now.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:23:21 PM] <DesertRose> I STILL need to finish sewing DD's chemise.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:23:30 PM] <Evie> This might end up being for Mini-Cardiel. The pattern is quite fancy.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:24:03 PM] <DesertRose> I keep not wanting to deal with my button-holing attachment to do the drawstring holes in the neckline. The rest of the chemise will be smooth sailing if I can just make myself deal with the drawstring eyelets.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:24:08 PM] <Shiral> The Archbishop must not be outshone by his associate Princes of the Church. =o)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:24:09 PM] <Jemler> if you make mini-loris, add a noose!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:24:24 PM] <Imladris> you are still by Stuart's Draft/ Staunton?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:24:35 PM] <Shiral> Or just skip making a mini-Loris, or little Duncan will run away!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:24:39 PM] <Evie> LOL! No Mini-Loris, jemler. Fortunately Loris is quite dead by the 1130s.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:24:49 PM] <Dennis> I say add a mini-Hubert but he's not really mini, given that he was as wide as he was tall.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:24:55 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, New England has gotten hammered with the snow here lately, and I worry about what's going to happen when it all melts.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:25:13 PM] <KK> Yes, Imladris.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:25:17 PM] <Evie> I have a Jabba the Hutt plushie. That's the closest I plan to get to a mini-Hubert.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:25:19 PM] <The_Bee> We're hoping for a gradual melt, not all at once.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:25:21 PM] <Shiral> Hopefully the process will be gradual
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:25:26 PM] <DesertRose> That would be best, yes.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:25:54 PM] <Jerusha> I think it will be a bad spring for potholes, here
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:25:59 PM] <Evie> speaking of mini-Jabba, Luke is sitting on my arm again
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:00 PM] <DesertRose> Probably.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:02 PM] <Dennis> Yes. Yes, it will.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:03 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Luke.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:10 PM] <Shiral> Parts of Massachusetts was at a tropical 36F today
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:12 PM] <Imladris> DR.. it will turn to water....;-)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:13 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Luke
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:14 PM] <The_Bee> What about a mini-Javan or Rhis-Michael?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:16 PM] <Jemler> hubbert as a hutt? that's is an insult to the hutts!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:27 PM] <Dennis> I'm interested to see how the new governor will deal with the MBTA crisis.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:30 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Imladris. I meant the possibility of horrible flooding should it all melt at once.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:56 PM] <DesertRose> BRB, tea and snack.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:26:59 PM] <Dennis> Yeah, at least the Hutts were up front about being criminals. Much more honest than the likes of Hubert.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:27:00 PM] <Evie> I'm at the end of my storage space and budget limits with the Kelson era action figures, Bee. I can't afford to do a Camber era set too, aside from the four that went to live with KK.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:27:05 PM] <The_Bee> I just hope someone will do something about the MBTA besidestalk.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:27:30 PM] <KK> Bee, how is your new hip doing?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:27:31 PM] <Dennis> Yeah, I'm not hopeful, Bee, just interested.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:27:37 PM] <Evie> If I do any from that era, it will be another Camber, so he can do his occasional 'visitations".
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:28:31 PM] <Evie> (See, Preacher, I warned you our chats tend to be all over the place! :-D )
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:28:39 PM] <The_Bee> I'd like to see the Olympics bid become an incentive to get going on the mass transit improvements.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:28:59 PM] <Imladris> kk, how did the Sinclairs go from being bad guys to good guys.... (jumping series).
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:28:59 PM] <Preacher> LOL! I wanted to ask some newbie questions but didn't want to interrupt.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:29:11 PM] <The_Bee> KK, my new hip is doing weel People remark on how fast a recovery I'm making.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:29:12 PM] <KK> Ask away, preacher.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:29:15 PM] <Shiral> Don't be shy
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:29:24 PM] <Jerusha> That's good to hear, Bee
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:29:29 PM] <Aerlys> Great to hear that, Bee
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:29:32 PM] <KK> Goodo, Bee! Keep up the good work!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:30:06 PM] <Dennis> Yay, Bee!~
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:30:12 PM] <Shiral> I know my mother appreciates her knees. But also said if she had three legs, she'd probably skip the third procedure
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:30:22 PM] <The_Bee> I should have used the thaw to go shopping. ZI'm nearly out of toothpaste.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:30:28 PM] <Preacher> KK, I started reading your work back in 1985 with Camber of Culdi. I've followed it for all these years. I was wondering if there were going to be any more stories added to that universe in the near future.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:30:45 PM] <Evie> You just have to jump rightt in with questions, Preacher. We rarely have quiet pauses.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:30:46 PM] <Jerusha> So you are home now, Bee?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:30:59 PM] <Dennis> I noticed that the two priests (Creoda and Nevan) that Alaric had positive interactions with in tKD both ended up rebelling against Kelson.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:31:03 PM] <The_Bee> Yes. I came home on Valentine's day
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:31:09 PM] <KK> You mean, to the Camber timelone, preacher?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:31:21 PM] <Imladris> yeah, Dennis. was curious on that too.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:31:23 PM] <Jerusha> Welcome home Bee
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:31:27 PM] <Preacher> Or any of the series in the Deryni world.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:31:56 PM] <Imladris> which have you read, preacher, you know the one just came out?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:32:45 PM] <The_Bee> When you said Sinclair, I thought you meant Adam Sinclair of the Adept series, Imladris. I was wondering when his family were bad guys.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:32:53 PM] <Preacher> I did see it Imladris. That's how I found this place. (But I haven't read it yet (he says shamefully...))
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:21 PM] <Imladris> the camber era sinclairs.. nasty.... Adam's familly good.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:22 PM] <DesertRose> It's okay. It took me a bit to get around to reading it because I had to wait for my library to get their copy, but I think I was the first person to check it out.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:23 PM] <Shiral> Real life can interfere terribly with reading time. =o)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:24 PM] <The_Bee> I got my copy of TKD for Christmas.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:24 PM] <Dennis> Psst... don't tell anyone, Preacer, but Alaric lilves.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:26 PM] <Dennis>
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:28 PM] <Aerlys> LOL me too, Bee
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:35 PM] <Evie> Have you read In the King's Service and Childe Morgan yet? If you haven't seen those, read them before The King's Deryni
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:44 PM] <Dennis> er, Preacher (sorry)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:45 PM] <Evie> Oh, and btw, we usually use abbreviations for the books here
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:33:56 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, The King's Deryni will make much more sense if you've read the first two in that trilogy.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:34:08 PM] <Shiral> I wasn't patient enough to wait for Christmas. I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon and it arrived on December 2.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:34:20 PM] <DesertRose> We used to call The King's Deryni CM3 before it had a title.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:34:30 PM] <Jerusha> Mine came about the same time
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:34:40 PM] <DesertRose> So if you're on the board messing around with older messages and you see CM3 and wonder what that means, that's it.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:34:46 PM] <Imladris> shiral, that's how I got my codex - the first one.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:35:06 PM] <Shiral> Me too, Imladris =o)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:35:08 PM] <The_Bee> any prep work done on Road to Killingford, KK?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:35:26 PM] <Imladris> saw it available on pre order .. .and since it hadn't shown up after two attempts, sent it through .. and was shocked when it came!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:35:41 PM] <KK> No, I have to write that treecat story first.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:35:58 PM] <Shiral> My family doesn't understand my Deryni passion, but they have learned that my Sunday late afternoon is not lightly interfered with. =o)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:36:01 PM] <KK> Plus, I've been freezing and trying to get my desk cleared to do taxes.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:36:02 PM] <DesertRose> BTW, with a lot of chat clients (I don't think Mibbit will do this), you can type the first few letters of someone's nickname and hit tab and it will autocomplete for you.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:36:04 PM] <Preacher> I have read every single Deryni novel of Katherine's. They are all on my basement bookshelves. Except the one that just came out.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:36:09 PM] Quit NavaWazr has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:36:22 PM] <DesertRose> Drat. We lost Nava.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:36:35 PM] <DesertRose> I wonder if Mibbit's being silly or if Nava hit the wrong key.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:36:44 PM] <Shiral> That's another thing that sometimes happens in the chat room
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:36:49 PM] <Jerusha> I have a shelf dedicated to Deryni
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:37:06 PM] <Shiral> I think I have a shelf and a half. But it's not a very wide bookcase
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:37:15 PM] <Dennis> I'd like a Deryni dedicated to shelves.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:37:19 PM] <Evie> yes, fair warning, Preacher, Mibbit (the web browser chat client you are on) is temperamental and will sometimes boot people out with no warning
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:37:20 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, Bynw (who owns the server but isn't here right now) and I are shopping for another web-based IRC client that's more stable than Mibbit, but we haven't found anything yet.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:37:37 PM] <DesertRose> Or, we haven't found anything that's ready for prime time, anyway.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:37:37 PM] <Preacher> So do I jerusha. And my two year old daughter keeps taking the books--and ONLY those books--off the shelves. I may have to move them for safety purposes.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:37:38 PM] <Evie> I'd like a Deryni to organize my shelves. ;-)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:37:54 PM] <Shiral> Future fan!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:37:58 PM] <DesertRose> We found one but it's a little baby bit of software and isn't quite ready for heavy use yet.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:38:01 PM] <Jerusha> Or maybe she is ready to learn to read!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:38:10 PM] <Evie> Maybe she's a secret Deryni trying to hide the secrets she thinks the novels contain. ;-)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:38:29 PM] <DesertRose> Do you read to her, Preacher? She may think that all books are for her, if she's being read to.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:38:32 PM] <Shiral> Or else figure out how to cast wards Major
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:38:43 PM] <Preacher> It's odd. I have all my Deryni books on that shelf and then one other favorite author. But she only grabs the Deryni one.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:38:51 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, yes, future fan.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:38:52 PM] <Evie> You know, maybe Duncan could come organize my bookshelves. I wouldn't mind. :-D
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:38:54 PM] <Jerusha> If you find her with funny black and white dice....
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:39:06 PM] <DesertRose> A fanling.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:39:12 PM] <The_Bee> Do they have brightly colored jackets, Preacher?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:39:25 PM] <Shiral> We know you wouldn't mind if Duncan dropped by your place for any reason, Evie. =o)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:39:31 PM] <Dennis> Who's the other favorite author, if you don't mind me asking, Preacher?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:39:40 PM] <Aerlys> Hey, someone else with a wee one!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:03 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, a lot of us who have kids have grown ones or nearly grown ones. Aerlys is one of the few with younglings.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:12 PM] <Jemler> most guys don't talk about that aerlys!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:13 PM] <Preacher> They are mostly the original paperbacks. In fact, that whole reason I picked up Camber in the first place was I liked the cover. Yes, I judged a book by its cover!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:18 PM] * Jemler ducks
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:19 PM] <Imladris> daughter is 33
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:22 PM] <Evie> I have two nearly grown kids and two furry toddlers
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:23 PM] <DesertRose> We don't mind.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:34 PM] * Aerlys readies mackerel launcher
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:40 PM] * DesertRose pelts Jemler with a stream of goldfish.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:40 PM] <Dennis> It happens.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:47 PM] <Preacher> I have six children. 17 down to 2.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:56 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, you've got a house-full then.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:40:58 PM] <Imladris> Got the one that has the first three as a single hardcover.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:41:04 PM] <DesertRose> I only have the one daughter, who is 22.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:41:08 PM] <Shiral> No wonder your reading time is limited, Preacher
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:41:09 PM] <Imladris> but started on the paper.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:41:11 PM] <Jerusha> Preacher, meet Aerlys
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:41:12 PM] <Dennis> No children. I have an incipient stepson though. He's 15.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:41:29 PM] <Evie> Mine are 20 and 17
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:41:30 PM] <Aerlys> I have seven, from 4 to 19, at least so far
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:41:42 PM] <Preacher> Dennis, the other is Terry Brooks. I have others as well, but those two share a shelf at this point.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:41:50 PM] <Jerusha> I have three - 33, 31 and 29
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:41:55 PM] <Evie> Oh my goodness, Mini-Mister is 4 now? Time flies!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:01 PM] <Jemler> shannara is coming to hbo.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:04 PM] <DesertRose> I've never gotten around to Terry Brooks, though I've heard I should.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:06 PM] <The_Bee> I've just finished Terry Brooks' latest trilogy.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:09 PM] <Imladris> First Terry Brooks was a Hildebrandt illustrated.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:22 PM] <KK> I only have one, and he's 41--getting married in September. So I'll finally have a daughter, too.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:24 PM] <Jemler> Sword of Shannara
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:24 PM] <Preacher> Aerlys, you have my admiration. And sympathy.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:30 PM] <Aerlys> LOL
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:32 PM] <Evie> Do you happen to read Lois Bujold's books, Preacher?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:34 PM] <Dennis> I liked the first few Shannaras but I haven't read one in a long time.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:50 PM] <Imladris> haven't been around, here much, your mom doing ok, KK?>
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:42:57 PM] <Jemler> didn't he blend them into the word and the void?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:43:01 PM] <DesertRose> KK, you sound like my stepdad's mom, who was tickled beyond belief to get a granddaughter (me) because she always wanted a daughter and got three sons.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:43:02 PM] <Aerlys> I as hooked on Terry Brooks, too. DS2 is currently reading The Landover series
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:43:04 PM] <Preacher> I did NOT Evie.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:43:10 PM] <The_Bee> yes, Jemler.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:43:30 PM] <DesertRose> And she spoiled my daughter beyond belief.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:43:39 PM] <Evie> She's my other favorite author, so that's why I ask
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:43:41 PM] <Imladris> Like the Landover series, better then Shannara, .. the druid always sounds like a 12 step program.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:43:46 PM] <DesertRose> Also taught her to shoot pool about as soon as she could hold a cue over the table.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:43:53 PM] <Jerusha> First grandchild will be a boy, but that's OK
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:03 PM] Join NavaWazr has joined this channel (Mibbit@OWIRCN-cb677654.irvnca.sbcglobal.net).
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:06 PM] <The_Bee> Landover is more of a fun read.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:08 PM] <Evie> well, modern favorite, that is. Not counting classics like Tolkien, Lewis, etc
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:08 PM] <Dennis> Lois Bujold is AMAZING. Love, love, love them.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:10 PM] <Imladris> welcome back
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:11 PM] <DesertRose> Rehi, NavaWazr.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:14 PM] <Evie> hi Nava!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:23 PM] <Jerusha> WB, NaveWazr
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:23 PM] <Shiral> WB, Nava
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:26 PM] <The_Bee> wb. Naza
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:29 PM] <DesertRose> Did Mibbit get you?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:35 PM] <Aerlys> For me, it was hit and miss on the Shanarra books. Loved some, hated others
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:39 PM] <Dennis> Did you ever read Eddison, Evie?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:44:58 PM] <NavaWazr> changed computers
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:45:03 PM] <Imladris> any other Brooks fans find the name Al-anon distracting?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:45:08 PM] <DesertRose> Ah, okay.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:45:08 PM] <Evie> I don't think so. Eddings, yes.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:45:18 PM] <KK> Not too fond of Brooks myself.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:45:24 PM] <Preacher> I read Camber of Culdi first, pretty much by a random choice because I liked the cover. It worked out well since the story went in chronological order then as I got into the Kelson books.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:45:26 PM] <Aerlys> LOL, Imladris. NOW it will!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:45:35 PM] <The_Bee> Anyone know of an author with a character called Nightfall? I read the book but can't recall who wrote it.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:45:36 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, I would, Imladris, but that's probably because for someone who never had a drinking problem I've been to a LOT of AA meetings.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:45:45 PM] <Aerlys> Some of Brook's work just go too dark
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:45:45 PM] <Dennis> I still have a shelf for Eddings. Eddison is pre-Tolkien. The Worm Ouroborous.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:02 PM] <NavaWazr> Asimov wrote a story called Nightfall
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:02 PM] <Imladris> never been to one myself.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:12 PM] <Preacher> Brooks isn't everyone's favorite. He was the first really LONG book I read as a kid so I became attached to him through that.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:15 PM] <Jerusha> I remember that book!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:16 PM] <DesertRose> (My father was an alcoholic and when he was on the wagon, I got dragged to AA meetings.)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:18 PM] <Jemler> George R. R. Martin.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:33 PM] <Evie> I would if I read those books, since even though I've never gone to AA or Al-Anon, I'm involved in my church's recovery ministry
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:34 PM] <DesertRose> Which were phenomenally boring for a ten-year-old.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:36 PM] <Imladris> Anyone know an author named Alan E Nourse?>
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:43 PM] <The_Bee> I've read that. This was a man called Nightfall--an assassin or thief, I forget which.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:43 PM] <Dennis> Hey, the high king in Guy Gavriel Kay's Fionavar Tapestry was Aileron, which is part of a airplane's wing.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:46:53 PM] <Preacher> Thanks, Imladris! Now I can't NOT see that!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:00 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Dennis.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:19 PM] <Evie> I also like Neil Gaiman, what I've read of his work
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:20 PM] <Imladris> He did sci-fi shorts stories.. and was with a sense of humour that fit mine...
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:20 PM] <Jerusha> I did, Imladris, but I can't remember what it was
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:34 PM] <Shiral> Neil Gaiman is very cool
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:37 PM] <Imladris> did an anthology, called Tiger by the Tail.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:37 PM] <The_Bee> Another fave is Terry Pratchett.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:41 PM] <DesertRose> Evie, have you read "Good Omens" (Gaiman with Terry Pratchett)?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:46 PM] <Preacher> KK, did you mean not fond of Brooks' books? Or Brooks himself? (Sorry, awkward question!)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:48 PM] <KK> I remember Nourse.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:52 PM] <Dennis> I may have asked this already, KK, but now that Kelson is safely married, do you know what the next few years of his life is like, or is that something you won't think about unless you write a sequel to KKB?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:54 PM] <Shiral> I have, it's very funny, DR
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:47:55 PM] <Imladris> has a favourite story of mine... "Family Resemblance"
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:48:04 PM] <KK> His books. Never met him, so far as I know
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:48:05 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, I love it. Hilarious, Shiral.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:48:09 PM] <Imladris> would have loved to have written it myself.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:48:15 PM] <Imladris> but was before I was born...
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:48:23 PM] <Jemler> Robert Jordans Wheel of Time
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:48:25 PM] <Evie> I started Good Omens, liked what I read, but had to put it down for some reason (too much real life going on) and lost the book before I could resume
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:48:39 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, find it again. It's hilarious, if you can get over the irreverance.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:48:58 PM] <Jemler> irreverance?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:49:00 PM] <DesertRose> Did I spell that right?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:49:01 PM] <Dennis> Good Omens = Monty Python's The Omen. It's brilliant.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:49:07 PM] <DesertRose> irreverence?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:49:23 PM] <DesertRose> I think I screwed up the spelling there. It doesn't look right either way, honestly.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:49:26 PM] <KK> Not that into humor fiction.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:49:29 PM] <Dennis> The latter, DR. No a s in irreverence
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:49:53 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, I screwed up. Mark it on the calendar, DR misspelled something, not a typo.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:49:55 PM] <Jerusha> Spelling wars?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:08 PM] <KK> Not thinking serioiusly about a book after KKB at this time.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:13 PM] <DesertRose> I usually don't misspell much.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:14 PM] <Shiral> Welcome to the SUnday spelling bee
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:24 PM] <Jerusha> Oh yes, KK. That would be good
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:27 PM] <DesertRose> Mistype, sure, but actually misspelling is really unusual for me.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:32 PM] <Jemler> i was wondering what it was about
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:36 PM] <The_Bee> Cast your spell! But you better spell it right, or who know what will happen?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:40 PM] <Imladris> never quite got into monty python... despite many of my friends loving it.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:42 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:47 PM] <Imladris> just never clicked.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:50:49 PM] <Jerusha> Sorry, KK - I read that wrong.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:51:17 PM] <DesertRose> I like Monty Python, but I like deliberate silliness too.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:51:19 PM] <Jerusha> Though I would like one if you wrote it
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:51:37 PM] <Shiral> "if we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?"
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:51:39 PM] <Preacher> There are two kinds of people in the world: those who find Monty Python funny, and those who don't.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:51:51 PM] <Dennis> I'm just always fascinated by what authors know and don't share.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:51:56 PM] <Jerusha> Not in to Monty Python
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:52:10 PM] <Jemler> a group i never found funny: the 3 stooges.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:52:15 PM] <Dennis> ..er with the readers in the books. I think my cold is starting to affect my brain.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:52:21 PM] <Imladris> is that like there are 10 kinds of people in the world....
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:52:22 PM] <Jerusha> Though all the male members of my family are
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:52:36 PM] <Dennis> No, use for the stooges. Love the Marx Brothers, though.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:52:37 PM] <Imladris> Those that understand Binary, and those who don't?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:52:39 PM] <KK> I liked the Monty Python film, but I wouldn't be particularly attracted to that sort of written fiction. That's jsut me.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:52:50 PM] <DesertRose> I have no use for the stooges either. Slapstick ain't my bag.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:53:06 PM] <The_Bee> those who say there are two kinds of people and those who don't
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:53:07 PM] <Jemler> i love abbott and costello
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:53:07 PM] <Jerusha> I saw them in person once, though
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:53:15 PM] <Shiral> I don't think Monty Python would lend itself well to print. The visuals and sound effects are too much a part of the humor
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:53:18 PM] <Preacher> I don't think that Python would work too well as written fiction.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:53:25 PM] <Jemler> jerusha, the stooges?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:53:29 PM] <KK> A little of Abbot & Costello or the Three Stooges goes a long way, for me.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:53:35 PM] <DesertRose> No, probably not, although I think Terry Pratchett gets as close as you can.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:53:37 PM] <Jerusha> Yes, at a Christmas party
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:53:48 PM] <Imladris> I do like the who''s on first... they did it well.

[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:01 PM] <The_Bee> Hi EPC
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:09 PM] <Shiral> Hi EPC
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:10 PM] <DesertRose> Hi EPCarpenter.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:18 PM] <Imladris> good evemn
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:21 PM] <Imladris> even'
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:22 PM] <Dennis> Preacher, yeah. Good Omen's is awesome, but when Terry Jones wrote the novelization for a video game Douglas Adams developed, it was dire. I think I made it 30 pages.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:23 PM] <KK> Why, it's EPCarpenter. Hello!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:29 PM] <Dennis> Hi, EPC!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:38 PM] <Jemler> hi epc
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:41 PM] <Preacher> So, tell me about this treecat story, KK.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:54:43 PM] <Shiral> Love the Marx Brothers but the 3 stooges....yawn
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:10 PM] <DesertRose> The Marx Brothers are funny, but the Three Stooges are just silly and, IMO, stupid along with it.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:25 PM] <The_Bee> I prefer a few good zingers to physical humor.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:36 PM] <Dennis> It's the prequel to the fourcat story, because the cats are from Brooklyn and four is one more dan tree....
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:41 PM] <KK> Haven't even got a ghost of a plot idea yet. Just boning up on the background. (And I was wondering if Weber himself has ever told us how Honor and Nimitz met and bonded.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:41 PM] <Jerusha> They were a part of the culture at the time
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:44 PM] <Imladris> KK, you would have liked Nourse, he was a physician.. and it sometimes comes out in his work.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:46 PM] <DesertRose> I know someone who likes the Three Stooges because of nostalgia from watching the shorts with his brother when they were kids, not because it's actually funny to him.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:46 PM] <Dennis> You know what? I'll just stop talking now, shall I?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:47 PM] <Aerlys> Hey, EPC
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:50 PM] <Evie> I recently got a copy of "Medieval Lives," which is about medieval history (as you might guess) but it's written by Terry Jones from Monty Python, who actually has a degree in medieval history. It's got lots of tongue in cheek humor, but is very nicely done as a history book that's quite approachable for the lay reader
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:55:58 PM] <Evie> Hi EPC
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:56:08 PM] <DesertRose> OH, that would be cool to read, Evie.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:56:10 PM] <Shiral> What we find funny is incredibly personal. And it's hard to explain WHAT makes something funny to one person, and a complete mystery and a bore to someone else
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:56:15 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, indeed, Shiral.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:56:25 PM] <KK> I do remember Nourse. And I remember that he was a doctor. Wish I could remember some titles.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:56:47 PM] <Jerusha> I must check that out, Evie
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:56:57 PM] <Imladris> Watches StarTrek IV the Voyage Home... last night.. THAT was funny.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:56:59 PM] <Evie> It's either based on the BBC miniseries, DR, or the series is based on the book, not sure which. But you can find the BBC series on YouTube
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:57:01 PM] <EPCarpenter> Hiya. Sorry I'm late- Running errands to settle Mom's estate. Blek, what a lousy job being Executor is.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:57:23 PM] <DesertRose> Cool, evie.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:57:28 PM] <Jerusha> Sorry to hear that, EPC
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:57:35 PM] <Aerlys> Ooh, no fun Elec
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:57:38 PM] <KK> Staying warm, EPC?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:57:39 PM] <DesertRose> I have a book by Terry Jones (same one) about why Chaucer disappears from the medieval record.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:57:41 PM] <The_Bee> The classic historical satire book is 1066 and All That.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:57:47 PM] <Imladris> yeah, glad I am no one's executor.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:57:53 PM] <Evie> Sorry to hear that, Elec, but glad you could make it
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:57:57 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, that's awful, EPCarpenter.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:58:04 PM] <Dennis> Yeah, it had only four dates, I think.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:58:24 PM] <Dennis> In Dave Barry Slept Here, Dave Barry tired to get history down to one date.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:58:37 PM] <The_Bee> two, IIRC. the other two were Not Memorable.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:58:41 PM] <DesertRose> Dave Barry is kind of hit or miss for me.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:58:47 PM] <EPCarpenter> She's been gone 2 years now. Her estate was broke, no money to pay out, and I was happy to be 200 bux out of pocket because there was no money to fight over. My Sister found a Life Insurance Policy, and now the fun is beginning.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:58:48 PM] <DesertRose> Sometimes I like his stuff and sometimes I don't.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:59:03 PM] <Dennis> That's right. It's lurking on my self somewhere, but I haven't looked it in year.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:59:05 PM] <DesertRose> Oh jeez. That is not fun.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:59:15 PM] <EPCarpenter> Nope
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:59:15 PM] <Dennis> Deepest condolences EPC.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:59:24 PM] <EPCarpenter> Thanks
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:59:36 PM] <Dennis> I'm gotten colder on Dave Barry as I get older, but DBSH is still brilliant.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:59:37 PM] <The_Bee> hope you can settle it peaceably
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:59:38 PM] <Imladris> Dinner here, all.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [07:59:52 PM] <DesertRose> You taking off, Imladris?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:00:02 PM] <Jerusha> What's for dinner?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:00:20 PM] <Evie> We're all showing up at your house, Imladris
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:00:23 PM] <The_Bee> anyone watching theOscars?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:00:33 PM] <DesertRose> I hope it all gets settled, EPCarpenter. Fighting over an estate is not fun.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:00:33 PM] <Aerlys> nope, not here
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:00:39 PM] <Imladris> chicken.. but from a very strange Recipe book...
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:00:41 PM] <DesertRose> I don't even own a TV, so no.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:00:47 PM] <Imladris> Fifty Shades of Chicken.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:00:52 PM] <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:00:55 PM] <Dennis> Nope. Zero interest in the Oscars.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:03 PM] <Jerusha> Shocking!
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:20 PM] <Shiral> Every year the show gets longer and more boring. I think I've seen maybe one of the nominated pictures
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:22 PM] <Imladris> This is "Happy Ending Chicken"
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:22 PM] <The_Bee> me neither. I just like to drool over the gowns.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:23 PM] <Aerlys> How many would avtually be fighting over this, EPC
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:24 PM] <Dennis> So I guess you're cooking it with the drumsticks bound?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:27 PM] <Jerusha> Never saw the movies, so not too interested in who gets the awards
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:30 PM] <Evie> Fifty Shades of Chicken sounds like the cafeteria menu at my former university
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:30 PM] <DesertRose> My brothers and I didn't fight over our father's estate but then our father left his entire estate to charity. His original executor was apparently going to give us each a little bit of money, but then he died and the lawyer who wound up with the job did what the will said.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:35 PM] <Shiral> But that one was "Selma" and it was gripping
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:38 PM] <Imladris> yes, bound extra tightly.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:01:53 PM] <DesertRose> The clothes are super pretty, usually, yes, Bee.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:02:02 PM] <Imladris> look at the book on amazon.. .is hilariaias
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:02:06 PM] <NavaWazr> I'm watching Oscars, always do, and always multi-tasking
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:02:13 PM] <The_Bee> but you can view them online
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:02:16 PM] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:02:24 PM] <Jemler> i watch the oscar winers on tcm
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:02:44 PM] <Jemler> winnres, sorry
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:02:57 PM] <NavaWazr> I live in LA, this is our biggest party night
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:02:59 PM] <DesertRose> I heard Selma was well worth watching, but haven't gotten around to seeing it yet. I mean to though.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:03:00 PM] <Jerusha> Either works, Jemler
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:03:08 PM] <Dennis> Now the Felixes on the other hand....
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:03:21 PM] <Aerlys> much cleaner presentation
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:03:26 PM] <The_Bee> Felixes?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:03:39 PM] <NavaWazr> meanwhile, I think of how awful it was in medieval times with no umbrellas and lots of thick wet wool on a cold rainy day
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:03:41 PM] <Aerlys> (psst think Odd Couple)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:03:50 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Aerlys.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:04:04 PM] <DesertRose> It probably didn't smell too hot, no, NavaWazr.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:04:10 PM] <Evie> It could have been oilcloth or cerecloth on rainy days, which would add waterproofing
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:04:20 PM] <DesertRose> Wet wool reeks.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:04:22 PM] <Shiral> It's definitely worth the price of the movie ticket, DR
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:04:29 PM] <Evie> (cerecloth would have been impregnated with wax)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:04:43 PM] <DesertRose> That's what I heard. I want to see it, but I just haven't gotten to the movies since the last Hobbit movie.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:04:52 PM] <Shiral> When everyone smelled awful, people probably stopped noticing it. =o)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:04:57 PM] <Dennis> Heh.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:05:03 PM] <Jerusha> Me too, DR
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:05:09 PM] <DesertRose> Probably, Shiral.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:05:14 PM] <Shiral> But I have to admit I like modern standards of cleanliness and sanitation

[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:05:38 PM] <Jerusha> There was a reason perfume was invented
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:05:38 PM] <Shiral> I skipped the last Hobbit movie completely
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:05:53 PM] <DesertRose> Me too. I love the SCA, and I love studying and learning about medieval and Renaissance stuff, but when it comes right down to it, I like living in a time with climate control indoors and indoor plumbing and vaccinations and things like that.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:05:54 PM] <Dennis> Yeah, and the only think worse than dentistry is not having dentistry. No interest in being able to die from a toothache.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:06:04 PM] <Shiral> I thought the first two were completely overdone, and had no stomach to watch a third one
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:06:17 PM] <Shiral> Modern medicine, too
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:06:18 PM] <The_Bee> Have we gone silent, or have I been booted?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:06:25 PM] <Evie> People had high enough standards of hygiene that they wouldn't have been as smelly as many people nowadays tend to think, but city dwellers might have found wet wool downright present compared to raw sewage
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:06:26 PM] <Shiral> And modern dentistry =o)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:06:29 PM] <Jerusha> You are still here, Bee
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:06:32 PM] <DesertRose> No, you're still here Bee.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:06:43 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, modern dentistry is definitely a good thing.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:06:57 PM] <Jerusha> Except when I have to go to the dentist
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:09 PM] <Evie> Yes, it's nice to be able to fill teeth rather than just pull them
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:11 PM] <DesertRose> I don't even mind going to the dentist. It's better than losing my teeth.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:14 PM] <Shiral> I'd love to visit the Deryni Universe on say a Star Trek Holodeck
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:18 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:32 PM] <KK> OK, I need to get going. (Don't mind the dentist; but then, I've got good teeth.)
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:42 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, will we see you next week, KK?
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:44 PM] <Jemler> nite kk
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:48 PM] <Jerusha> I agree it's good to go to the dentist, but not on my list of favourite things
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:51 PM] <Evie> though I discovered when I needed a root canal recently, ground cloves are just as effective a dental anesthetic now as they were in the Middle Ages
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:51 PM] <KK> See you all next week.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:07:52 PM] <Shiral> Night, KK, have a good wee with the Tree cats

[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:08:37 PM] <DesertRose> Rehi Bee.

[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:08:39 PM] <EPCarpenter> There are only three heirs- My Brother, myself, and my Sister the nutcase. If there is only a single nickel left, she will go to the teller's window to see it broken into 5 pennies, and then argue that she is entitled to two of the cents.
[Sunday, February 22, 2015] [08:08:40 PM] <Shiral> Good grief, February went by fast...
