[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:17:07 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:17:11 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hello, KK
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:17:13 PM EDT] <kiwi_6> Hi KK. How are you?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:17:18 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, KK@
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:17:21 PM EDT] <Dennis> er, !
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:17:25 PM EDT] <KK> Hanging in there.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:17:30 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:18:07 PM EDT] <KK> Have spent the last week starting to clear stuff from my mother's former apartment.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:18:23 PM EDT] <kiwi_6> Just so everyone knows, kiwi 6 is Derynifank due to cloud troubles
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:18:39 PM EDT] <KK> OoooooK.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:18:51 PM EDT] <kiwi_6> That must be hard. Hope you have some help
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:19:12 PM EDT] <bynw> kiwi_6: your other nick isnt connected so you can change to it
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:19:19 PM EDT] <KK> I do. Then I have to tackle the cottage again.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:19:20 PM EDT] Join kiwi_19 (kiwi_19@7F791F.1DE43C.F0CC3F.CD7045) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:19:39 PM EDT] <kiwi_6> How do i do that
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:19:40 PM EDT] Nick kiwi_19 is now known as The_Bee.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:19:49 PM EDT] <kiwi_6> Hi Bee
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:20:00 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi Bee
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:20:04 PM EDT] <KK> But in an interesting piece of serendipity, a cliend of a friend is moving into the same facility, will get her apartment, and is buying a lot of her furniture. So we won't even had to move it!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:20:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Kiwi_6 and all
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:20:20 PM EDT] <KK> have to
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:20:29 PM EDT] <kiwi_6> That's a blessing
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:20:36 PM EDT] <KK> Amen!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:20:38 PM EDT] <Shiral> Glad things worked out that way!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:20:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> something good
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:20:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK, hi Bee
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:21:01 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, DR.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:21:02 PM EDT] <Shiral> THe less you have to contend with, the better!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:21:10 PM EDT] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:21:27 PM EDT] <KK> There's already more than enough.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:21:28 PM EDT] <bynw> kiwi_6: just type /nick Derynifank but the / has to be the very first character you type
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:21:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> kiwi_6: type "/nick DerynifanK", without the quotation marks. The slash has to be the first character in the line, so no space or anything.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:21:52 PM EDT] <kiwi_6> You have certainly had more than your share of things to contend with this year
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:22:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's serendipitous, the person moving into LBM's former apartment being able and willing to buy the furniture. Works out for everyone, I think.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:22:48 PM EDT] Nick kiwi_6 is now known as Derynifank.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:23:08 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Thanks bynw
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:23:30 PM EDT] <Shiral> 2019 really needs to let up on you, KK
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:23:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Amen to that.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:23:43 PM EDT] <KK> Amen again!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:23:52 PM EDT] <bynw> i third that motion
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:23:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And let the people respond: "Amen."
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:23:58 PM EDT] <Dennis> Fourth!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:24:00 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Me too
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:24:02 PM EDT] <Dennis> Amen!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:24:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> likewise
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:24:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> How are you doing otherwise, KK? Didn't you have to have a heart-related test recently?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:25:28 PM EDT] <KK> Had another echocardiogram. Don't have the results yet, but we'll hope everything is ok.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:25:46 PM EDT] <KK> Meanwhile, I'm doing physio, and seem to be getting stronger.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:25:46 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hope that you're feeling stronger than you were at this time last year
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:25:57 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Fingers crossed, double and that isn't east to do
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:25:58 PM EDT] <KK> Definitely, Shiral!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:26:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Have you had problems previously, KK?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:26:06 PM EDT] <Derynifank> easy
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:26:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Hi @KK
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:26:24 PM EDT] <KK> With what? Other than the a-fib, no heart issues that I was aware of.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:27:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, probably someone has to read the echo results before they can tell you what the test showed. Hopefully, it showed a heart pumping right along. :)
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:27:42 PM EDT] <Dennis> Happy to hear you're feeling better, at least.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:28:08 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Is the a fib still present or converted?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:28:50 PM EDT] <KK> Converted on the second try, and seems to be holding well.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:29:11 PM EDT] <Derynifank> that's really good news
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:29:44 PM EDT] <KK> And heart cath shows vessels clean as a whistle.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:29:57 PM EDT] <Shiral> Excellent!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:29:58 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Hurrah!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:30:02 PM EDT] <bynw> yay!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:30:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm sure there are sssome dirty whistles. :D
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:30:44 PM EDT] <Dennis> Yay!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:30:54 PM EDT] <Dennis> The Dirty Whistles is a good name for a band.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:31:07 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Like that
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:31:21 PM EDT] <KK> Not in <my> heart, Bee!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:31:52 PM EDT] <Shiral> Medically speaking, clean whistles are better
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:32:46 PM EDT] <KK> True.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:32:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> These days, a dirty whlstle could get a guy in trouble if he whistles at the wrong woman
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:34:33 PM EDT] <KK> Or the wrong guy. ;-)
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:34:50 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Or just about anybody
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:36:42 PM EDT] <Dennis> Missy says, "Meow."
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:37:02 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Better stick to whisling for dog
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:37:18 PM EDT] * Shiral warms up the hot fudge sauce for the sundae bar
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:37:20 PM EDT] <KK> Gus is on my lap, and gets grumped if I try to move him.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:37:21 PM EDT] * The_Bee skritches Missy.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:37:31 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, Gus!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:37:41 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Pets for Missy and Gus
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:37:47 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hello, Gus!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:37:50 PM EDT] <Shiral> I have an outbreak of Flat Cat Syndrome here
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:38:04 PM EDT] <KK> Oooo, hot there in the Bay area?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:38:15 PM EDT] <Dennis> Flat cat!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:38:28 PM EDT] <Shiral> Warm enough, KK. high/80's low 90
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:38:34 PM EDT] <Shiral> s this weekend
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:39:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> cooler and dryer here
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:39:05 PM EDT] <KK> Way warm enough. We've had a cold front move through, and daytime temps have been in low 70s.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:39:21 PM EDT] <Dennis> It's actually nice here. High 70s.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:39:30 PM EDT] <Shiral> The cats know where the good cross ventilation is--they've been living in my upstairs hall for the last two weeks
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:39:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys was dozing on my bed last I saw her.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:39:48 PM EDT] <Derynifank> We're getting a cool dry weekend but it's just a tease. Back up by the middle of the week
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:39:55 PM EDT] <KK> Cats are good at dozing.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:40:18 PM EDT] <Dennis> Missy is a spectacular dozer.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:40:20 PM EDT] <KK> We're back up again later in the week, but not as hot as we've had this summer.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:40:21 PM EDT] <Shiral> Napping would be an event if cats had Olympic games
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:40:34 PM EDT] <KK> It would.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:40:51 PM EDT] <Derynifank> And the cats would sweep the competition
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:40:52 PM EDT] <Shiral> A really BORING event to watch, but they'd be perfect at it
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:41:18 PM EDT] <bynw> cats would take all the medals in it, we wouldnt have a chance to out nap them
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:42:01 PM EDT] <Shiral> "Oh dear, he's lost the gold medal when he woke up, stretched and changed position"
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:42:11 PM EDT] <bynw> kagi is napping in the bed too ... has been most of the day
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:42:20 PM EDT] <KK> Speaking of Olympics, I was watching the national American gymnastics comps a couple of nights ago, and Simone Beils is still phenomenal. (My spelling of her last name is not.)
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:42:42 PM EDT] <Shiral> She is definitely amazing to watch
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:42:49 PM EDT] <Derynifank> She is truly amazing
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:43:03 PM EDT] <KK> Probably the best female gymnast ever.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:43:41 PM EDT] <Derynifank> I didn't know a human body could do some of those thins that she does
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:43:42 PM EDT] <Shiral> Although I always find it amazing to watch the floor exercises when the gymnast changes direction after a tumbling run
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:43:49 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Things
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:44:14 PM EDT] <KK> Floor exercises can be awesome.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:44:25 PM EDT] <Shiral> And I'm always biting my fingernails when they're on the balance beam and go over backwards without holding on
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:44:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Sorry guys, have been pretty busy. Back now. I think.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:44:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How can she do those things in mid-air?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:44:48 PM EDT] <Derynifank> WB eris
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:45:08 PM EDT] <Shiral> Some of things she does, she could only do if she built up some momentum and speed
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:45:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> There's exercises I have been doing with my back against the wall. Some kind of squats
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:45:16 PM EDT] <bynw> Derynifank: Eris is a bot. the name after it is who is talking
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:45:20 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Maybe gravity doesn't work on her
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:45:34 PM EDT] <Shiral> Or she knows just how to bend the rules
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:45:58 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Oops, sorry jediMatt
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:46:37 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Maybe she has some Dreyni magic
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:46:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> It's okay @DerynifanK
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:47:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Oh I know she has Deryni magic!😀
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:47:26 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, that is almost heart-stopping. To do those flips blind, and land on a 4 inch piece of timber....
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:48:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Speaking of gymnasts and floor routines (and I think Simone Biles and Katelyn Ohashi are friends): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ic7RNS4Dfo
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:48:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> 😮
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:49:26 PM EDT] <Shiral> And sometimes.....they don't, or they land and wobble like crazy
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:49:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> When I was a little DesertRosebud, in the winter I wanted to be Dorothy Hamill; in the summer, I wanted to be Nadia Comaneci (and I have entirely the wrong body shape for either gymnastics or figure skating).
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:51:45 PM EDT] <KK> Isuspect most of us have dreamed of being an Olympic athlete, at least for a few minutes, while watching those incredible athletes do their thing.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:51:52 PM EDT] <Shiral> I had a few skating lessons, which I found dull--no leaping or twirling
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:52:30 PM EDT] <KK> I like the twizzles that the ice dancing pairs do.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:52:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My only skating trick is falling on my keister.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:52:40 PM EDT] <Derynifank> I love the ice skating, especially the ice dancing
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:52:40 PM EDT] <KK> Mine, too, Bee!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:52:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I never learned to ice skate at all. Charleston didn't get an ice rink until the winter I had to have my left knee scoped.

[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:52:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:52:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> I like curling
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:01 PM EDT] <bynw> there should be olympic events for those of us who arent athletically inclined for brain uses
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:07 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:08 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi. IRC did not want to play nice tonight
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:08 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:12 PM EDT] <Shiral> I'm in awe of how skating pairs, whether ice dancing or pairs figure skating, manage to keep their motion synchronized
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:18 PM EDT] <KK> Curling has its own fascination.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:21 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:31 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi Everyone
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> It looks so much harder than it is
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, Shiral! Practice practice practice until they're probably dreaming their routines.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Easier I mean
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:51 PM EDT] <Shiral> I always have the worst luck getting to see any of the equestrian events.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:52 PM EDT] <bynw> what probably are you having with IRCcloud? Laurna is on it and actually so am i
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:53:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Sorry
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:54:13 PM EDT] <Jerusha> It seems to want me to create a new account
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:54:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ugh, don't remind me about equestrian events.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:54:30 PM EDT] <Derynifank> It wouldn't let me in which is why I'm on kiwi
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:54:36 PM EDT] <Jerusha> This has happened before, and then the problem goes away
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:54:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Why is a bot named after the goddess of discord?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:54:48 PM EDT] <KK> It seems like they only show the equestrian events at unsocial times, or with something more interesting opposite it.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:54:51 PM EDT] <Shiral> Anyone who makes it to the Olympics in any form has put in the hours of practice.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:55:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I had the opportunity to see some of them in 1996; at the time I worked for Pizza Hut, and corporate asked for people from other areas to come supplement to Atlanta to supplement the staff due to the expected tourism boost, so I went.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:55:25 PM EDT] <bynw> because there is another chat service called "discord" and this is linked to it. it is where JediMatt is located
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:55:31 PM EDT] <Shiral> They'll show HOURS of boxing, but only about half an hour of the jumping. ANd yes, it's always at some weird hour
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:55:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> I always wanted to be an Olympic runner, when I was younger
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:55:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And I was staying in Conyers (boarded with a manager and their family), where the equestrian events were held, and I could have bought tickets and I didn't.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:55:56 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Boo to boxing, yes to jumping and fencing
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:55:58 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Must be men making the choices
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:56:12 PM EDT] <Shiral> Probably!, DF!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:56:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Still kicking my own backside for that.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:56:39 PM EDT] <Shiral> Sounds painful, DR!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:56:44 PM EDT] <Jerusha> They never show fencing
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:56:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, metaphorically. ;)
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:56:55 PM EDT] <Derynifank> I saw the Lippizaners once and they were incredible
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:57:00 PM EDT] <Shiral> I'm glad you gave your behind a break.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:57:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't think I CAN physically kick my own tush.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:57:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> I also enjoy Olympic bowling
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:57:14 PM EDT] * bynw would rather see fencing or equestrian events than boxing
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:57:19 PM EDT] <Shiral> I had the good luck of seeing the Lipizzans in Vienna. VERY well worth it!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:57:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> I bowl around 265-270
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:57:50 PM EDT] <Shiral> They are amazingly beautiful
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:57:55 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Very inpressive. Are you trying for the olympic?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:58:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Nah
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:59:43 PM EDT] * KK would rather see almost anything than boxing.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:59:55 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Totally agree!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [7:59:57 PM EDT] <Derynifank> I once bowled but I was never anywhere close to that
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:00:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> I was in a bowling club when I was younger
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:00:52 PM EDT] <bynw> i havent gone bowling in ages
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:01:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> candlepin bowling or the other kind?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:01:14 PM EDT] <Shiral> I bowl even worse than I play tennis.....And I don't play tennis
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:01:16 PM EDT] <Derynifank> My knees don't allow it anymore
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:01:38 PM EDT] <KK> I was crap at bowling. And couldn't see the piont of it, really, unless it was for the company, perhaps.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:01:59 PM EDT] <bynw> it is a bit more of a socializing sport
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:02:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Same with skee ball
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:02:25 PM EDT] <Shiral> When I first saw the movie "Rocky" I was unpleasantly surprised that it didn't take place in the Rocky Mountains. It was my first and last movie about boxing that I ever watched.

[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:04:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I clicked on the wrong icon and got a message that God has been discovered in human DNA>
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:04:23 PM EDT] <judyward> Well, that's interesting.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:04:25 PM EDT] <Derynifank> My DD and I went to the Botanical Garden and they had a special exhibit called Barkatecture. Some really amazing and fun dog houses, and dogs everywhere
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:04:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> 🤔
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:04:41 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Yep. Boating this weekend only resulted in a small ritual bloodletting (line scraped my hand as I was trying to hold the boat at the pier)
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:04:54 PM EDT] <bynw> my poor baby kitty was just crying while sleeping. she must have had a bad dream. maybe she's missing her sister
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:05:12 PM EDT] <judyward> Awww! Poor baby!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:05:34 PM EDT] <judyward> I love baby kitties!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:05:46 PM EDT] <bynw> of course when i say "kitten" i mean 14 year old kitten :)
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:05:55 PM EDT] <judyward> Love them, too
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:06:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Experienced kitten.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:06:01 PM EDT] <Shiral> But young at heart
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:06:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Poor kitty
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:06:04 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Second childhood
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:06:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Have y'all seen that series of ads about adopting older shelter pets?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:06:21 PM EDT] <Derynifank> They considered one for cats but the cats said they didn't need separate houses, they had their owners house
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:06:36 PM EDT] <Shiral> Came across Dmitri and Tatiana having a mutual grooming session earlier today
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:07:05 PM EDT] <bynw> we lost her sister a year ago yesterday so now i just have 1 bengel kitty :(
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:07:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It talks about the upsides to adopting an older animal (as opposed to kittens/puppies), and every poster points out one good thing about grown animals, and they all end with "Because I'm a grown-a$$ adult."
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:07:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Too cute.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:07:17 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Grandpuppies came for a visit. Toys are now everywhere
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:07:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Awwww!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:07:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> to Dmitri and Tati
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:07:29 PM EDT] <Derynifank> I have seen it here, a special program for sebiors who want a mre settled pet.

[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:08:17 PM EDT] <bynw> i have grandpuppies too. but they dont come for a visit but we visit them and they get so excited
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:08:22 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Goatmistress
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:08:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Greetings, Mistress of Goats
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:08:50 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Do your goats do yoga. That seems to be very popular
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:09:02 PM EDT] <judyward> No DR today or did she already go?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:09:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> She's here.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:09:34 PM EDT] <Derynifank> She was here. Don't think she left
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:09:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm right here.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:09:39 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh, yes, I see that!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:09:52 PM EDT] <KK> I think I'd adopt a senior cat if I outlive both my present moggies. Nicholas is 19 and very arthritic, but still eats well and is not skinny. He'll run out of lives soon, though, I think. I don't even want to think about Gus passing. The most loving cat I've evern had.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:09:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I was talking about the adoption posters for older pets a few minutes ago.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:10:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> We just recently got a dog
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:10:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Couple months ago
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:10:30 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh, yes. It's hard to lose the older ones, KK
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:10:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> German Shepherd
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:10:49 PM EDT] <bynw> yes it is hard. they are our fur children after all
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:11:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Melantha's just turned 13. i got here ate age 1.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:11:15 PM EDT] <Jerusha> So a puppy with huge feet, JediMatt1000
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:11:21 PM EDT] <judyward> That's hard, too, JM. We lost Caesar last Dec and we are still missing him, even with new Quanah
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:11:29 PM EDT] * Shiral sends long life and good health woodgies to Gus
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:11:35 PM EDT] <Derynifank> There were lots of German Shepherds at the park including a 3 month old who was drop dead cute
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:11:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Yes his parents were king shepherds
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:11:57 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Oh my!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:12:03 PM EDT] <judyward> I used to love GSDs but their rears in the US are terrible.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:12:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> He's gonna get BIIG
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:12:21 PM EDT] <Jerusha> That may be an understatement
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:12:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Yup
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:12:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And after the manner of big dogs, he's going to think he's a lap dog, no matter what anyone says. :D
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:12:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Truth
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:12:53 PM EDT] <Shiral> I know myself well enough to know I melt at the sight of puppies. But so far, I don't want to make the commitment that getting a dog entails.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:12:53 PM EDT] <judyward> Yep!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:12:58 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Is there any other way?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:13:21 PM EDT] <bynw> my son's 2 year old lab thinks she is a lap dog and just loves to sit in my lap
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:13:28 PM EDT] <Shiral> A friend of mine had a German shepherd who thought SHE was a lapdog, too. That dog had the world's sharpest elbows.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:13:32 PM EDT] <KK> And what would your felines think, anyway?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:13:42 PM EDT] <Shiral> They would be good and mad!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:13:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Jen is training him to be a service animal.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:13:55 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Shove over, big guy!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:14:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My aunt and uncle have a golden-doodle (golden retriever-standard poodle cross) who thinks she's a lap dog. She's beautiful and very sweet, but it takes a lot of lap for a dog her size, LOL.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:14:10 PM EDT] <judyward> Bet he's cute
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:14:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> He's pretty cute. 7 mos old
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:14:52 PM EDT] <judyward> Tsin'tia used to get in my lap but I think she's too old to get up there anymore. 8-(
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:14:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> His name is Schafer which translates to Shepherd
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:15:02 PM EDT] <KK> When I went over to where Mother was living, there were 4 service dogs and their people in the green by the flagpole, doing their businesss before heading upstairs to visit with the memory care folk.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:15:11 PM EDT] <Shiral> Being adorable is a survival aid for puppies and kittens. You just can't stay mad at them when they're naughty
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:15:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is Jen training him for any specific type of service, JM?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:15:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> When I visited in May, Abby (aunt and uncle's dog) came up to me while I was sitting at the breakfast table (I'd finished eating but was talking). She set her head in my lap and I petted her and she just stayed there looking all blissful and comfy, backside on the floor, head on my leg.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:15:46 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Service dogs are a terrific idea
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:15:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Well she is working on getting him to fetch things for her right now
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:16:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Then she is working her way up with him
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:16:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> He knows to work when he has his vest on
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:16:49 PM EDT] <KK> And that entails acquiring a fairly large vocabulary, for a dog.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:16:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Jen has EDS and when she has a flare up, he can really help her
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Yup
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> EDS?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ah, thanks
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Yes @DesertRose
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Thank you
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's actually a group of conditions that have to do with various types of joint instability/hypermobility.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:43 PM EDT] <KK> Which is?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:49 PM EDT] <KK> Ah.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:17:54 PM EDT] <bynw> we have a service dog organization for vets headquartered here
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:18:06 PM EDT] <Derynifank> I had a cat who would have been a perfrct servive animal. He loved everyone and would cuddle up and just purr. Purrs are very comfortinging
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:18:37 PM EDT] <KK> Medical vets or soldier vets/ Bynw?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:19:01 PM EDT] <KK> And healing, Derynifank.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:19:10 PM EDT] <bynw> soldiers
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:19:18 PM EDT] <Derynifank> So true

[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:20:07 PM EDT] <KK> I like watching vet stories on u tube, especially Vet Ranch. THey really do some astounding things.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:20:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Vet ranch is good
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:20:54 PM EDT] <Derynifank> CBS has some great vet and rescue shows, mostly on sat. mornings
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:21:10 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:21:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I saw vets playing wheelchair rugby. AKA "murderball"
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:23:44 PM EDT] <Derynifank> So does PBS
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:27:22 PM EDT] <Jerusha> murderball seems to have done in the conversation
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:27:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> lol
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:27:40 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Yup
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:28:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Lots of knocking each other over.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:28:20 PM EDT] <Derynifank> That sounds painful
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:28:25 PM EDT] <Shiral> Got a little quiet, yes
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:28:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Very quiet
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:28:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> great outlet for frustrations.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:29:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> JediMatt1000, if Jen hasn't seen this site yet, she might find something useful: https://www.silverringsplint.com
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:29:48 PM EDT] <KK> Back. Had to pull some laundry from the dryer, so it doesn't get terminally wrinkled.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:29:51 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Is anyone excited about the Downton Abbey movie coming out?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:29:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Actually I am working on making her some splints
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:30:16 PM EDT] <KK> Downton Abbey, yes!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:30:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh cool, JediMatt!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:30:34 PM EDT] <KK> And it should be even more awesome on the big screen.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:30:35 PM EDT] <Shiral> Definitely.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:30:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I never watched the series.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:30:45 PM EDT] <Shiral> Can't wait to see what the Dowager will say
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:31:10 PM EDT] <KK> What is a weekend?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:31:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The splints on that site are so pretty; I love that someone thought to make adaptive technology aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:31:12 PM EDT] <Shiral> And Season THree of the Crown starts November 17th.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:31:12 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I never had the chance either
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:31:18 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Those two were so good together
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:31:34 PM EDT] <KK> I haven't seen any of The Crown, but hope to catch up on it soon.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:31:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Yes @DesertRose it does help her a lot too
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:31:46 PM EDT] <Shiral> I think you'll enjoy it when you do, KK
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:32:36 PM EDT] <Shiral> I thought Claire Foy did an amazing job as the young Elizabeth. It can't be easy portraying a living woman who is so iconic and well known
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:32:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't have EDS, but I have some fine motor issues that I sometimes steady out with my rings.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:32:52 PM EDT] <judyward> Who's broadcasting that?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:33:04 PM EDT] <Shiral> It's on Netflix, Judy Ward
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:33:20 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh, good! I can get that.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:33:23 PM EDT] <bynw> Derynifank wanted me to add a pic to the forum gallery so i did: this one from 2001 at Darkover: http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;pic=312
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:33:32 PM EDT] <Shiral> But anyway...HUNGRY for more Downton Abbey. I've missed it so much!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:33:52 PM EDT] <judyward> I've got to run make a buy at Chili's. Lou needs to eat. Sorry to be late but glad to talk to everyone!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:33:56 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hope they stop sending either Bates or Anna to prison, though
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:34:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> I haven't wanted Downton Abbey in a long while either
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:34:03 PM EDT] <bynw> cya judyward

[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:35:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, next week is Dragon*Con, assuming you're still going, KK.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:35:17 PM EDT] <bynw> probably not since its Dragon*Con weekend
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:35:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is DrGONCON NEXT WEEKEND?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:35:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes. It's always Labor Day weekend.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:35:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Is Dragoncon televised?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:35:38 PM EDT] <bynw> no
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:35:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> oops didsn't mean to shout
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:35:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Ah
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:36:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> so early chat Sept 8?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:36:11 PM EDT] <Shiral> I think so
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:36:16 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, I'm still going. Looking forward to reconnecting with my professional life.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:36:16 PM EDT] <bynw> this was the first year that GenCon did any live streaming of some events
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:36:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm guessing September early chat will be the 8th, which I may or may not make because that's the Pod-Child's birthday, so it'll depend on what she wants to do and when.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:36:36 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Thought early chat moved to sept.8.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:36:48 PM EDT] <Shiral> The second weekend in September will also be the 6 year anniversary of having moved into my own home
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:36:53 PM EDT] <KK> Early chat will be the following weekend.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:37:03 PM EDT] <KK> Lordy, has it been that long, Shiral?
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:37:09 PM EDT] <Shiral> It has, KK
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:37:15 PM EDT] <bynw> 6 years already
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:37:18 PM EDT] <bynw> time flys
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:37:19 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Good cause to celebrate
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:37:24 PM EDT] <Shiral> And I've felt blessed the whole time. =o)
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:37:34 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Happy anniversary
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:37:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Happy house-i-versary. :D
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:37:54 PM EDT] <Shiral> I chose about the hottest day that summer to move in, but what of it? =o)
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:37:57 PM EDT] <Jerusha> :)
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:38:08 PM EDT] <bynw> sometimes things fall that way
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:38:30 PM EDT] <Shiral> My mother and sister and I were staggering around saying "Stay hydrated!" to each other
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:39:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> By sheer luck, I moved into my current apartment in January 2018 and my original apartment in April, which was hot enough in Florida.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:39:58 PM EDT] <bynw> well 9 years ago when i remarried it turned out to be the hottest day of the year and that was in June
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:40:05 PM EDT] <Shiral> The first time I ever visited my brother and SIL in FLorida it was in August. We were at the beach for that week, but .....wow. Every time I went outside, my knees almost buckled from the heat
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:40:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But for the original move-in, I was able to draft some sons of friends to help with the heavy lifting by keeping them hydrated during the day and taking them out for all you can eat ribs (their choice) after everything was in the apartment.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:40:32 PM EDT] <Shiral> Well, I DID have a moving company for the heavy furniture. =o)
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:40:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> one way to keep your friends
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:40:49 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, I see that it's getting late here, and I have to finish laundry and feed critters and head up to bed. Hopefully, my sleep will settle back down soon. It was just getting back to near-normal when Mother took her fall.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Incidentally, two men in their early twenties who've just spent the day moving furniture and heavy boxes of books can eat a truly astounding number of BBQ ribs. :D
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:04 PM EDT] <Shiral> Good night, KK. Enjoy Dragon con for us!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, g'night, KK; enjoy Dragon*Con, and we'll see you in a fortnight.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Nighters, KK. Rest well. Glad you came
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:22 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Night KK. Hope you sleep well tonight
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Thanks for coming to see us!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:28 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Sleep well, and enjoy DragonCon, KK
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:28 PM EDT] <bynw> have a good night KK thanks for coming. rest is good
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:29 PM EDT] <KK> Will do my best. And I have a scooter this year, to cope wtih the distances and the heat and humidity.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:30 PM EDT] <Shiral> I'd have to say they earned 'em, DR
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Indeed, Shiral.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:41:52 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hope it's a fun time for you, KK! YOu deserve some fun
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:42:02 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:42:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Happy scooting ,KK!
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:42:08 PM EDT] <Derynifank> That's for sure
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:42:11 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Nighters, KK
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:42:14 PM EDT] <bynw> amen to that
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:42:24 PM EDT] <KK> Ta-ta for now. See you in 2 weeks.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:42:31 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I should go as well. I also have laundry in the dryer.
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:42:33 PM EDT] <Shiral> See you then, be well in the meantime
[Sunday, August 25, 2019] [8:42:37 PM EDT] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: CGI:IRC).
"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
