[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [6:59:25 PM EST] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [6:59:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [6:59:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [6:59:44 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all!

[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [6:59:49 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Dennis
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:00:13 PM EST] <Dennis> Hi! BRB Need to feed She Who Arises and Meows
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:00:17 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:00:39 PM EST] <KK> Critters are already fed at this end.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:00:41 PM EST] <bynw> hi Dennis and evie too
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:00:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hello
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:01:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> At home sick with a fever today,and realized it is chat time
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:01:51 PM EST] <DesertRose> You couldn't prove it by Carys, but I not only fed her, I washed her "food tree" (it's a three-level thing that keeps her from being able to get at too much food at once) before I fed her.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:01:53 PM EST] <Dennis> I've sated the twisted hungers of the Thane of Tevildo for the moment. Hope everyone had a nice week!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:01:57 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yuk, still sick, Evie?

[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:02:24 PM EST] * DesertRose puts on a pot of chicken noodle soup and sends Evie a bowl, along with a big mug of hot tea with honey and lemon juice.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:02:32 PM EST] <DesertRose> Is that you, Bee (mib_dfruev)?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:02:32 PM EST] <Dennis> Hello mib_dfruev!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:02:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yeah, fever isn't in a hurry to go away
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:02:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> :(
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:02:46 PM EST] <mib_dfruev> yep, it's me.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:02:53 PM EST] Nick mib_dfruev is now known as Bee.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:03:06 PM EST] <Dennis> Then let me rephrase: Hello Bee!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:03:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Bee!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:03:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi Bee
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:03:32 PM EST] <Bee> Hi y'all
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:03:32 PM EST] <Bee> 1
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:04:41 PM EST] <Bee> so what have ai missed tonight?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:04:53 PM EST] <DesertRose> Mostly hellos and discussions of feeding critters. :)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:05:46 PM EST] <Bee> Hungry critters can be very persistent.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:05:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> Indeed
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:05:55 PM EST] <bynw> hi bee
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:06:08 PM EST] <Bee> Hi bynw
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:07:11 PM EST] <Bee> I need to buy more of Melantha's special kidney-care catfood.

[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:07:45 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi imladris
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:08:09 PM EST] <imladris> Hi all
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:08:14 PM EST] <Dennis> Hi Imladris!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:08:19 PM EST] <imladris> am I early or late?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:08:30 PM EST] <KK> You're on time.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:08:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hello
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:08:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> Neither. A wizard arrives exactly when he intends to. :)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:08:46 PM EST] <Bee> any time is good time.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:08:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:09:19 PM EST] <imladris> thanks
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:09:26 PM EST] <bynw> yup very true
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:10:32 PM EST] <Bee> KK, how are your various projects coming along?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:11:03 PM EST] <KK> Hanging in there, making progress.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:11:24 PM EST] * DesertRose sets out a magic chat slow cooker, full of whatever hot beverage or food will be most welcome to the individual.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:11:24 PM EST] <Bee> still fixing the house nd cottage?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:11:40 PM EST] * DesertRose also sets up a table of cold drinks and food, for those so inclined.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:12:12 PM EST] * Bee smiles and sips a mug of hot chocolate with mint.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:12:51 PM EST] <Bee> BRB Melantha needs something
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:13:56 PM EST] <KK> Decluttering in the main house now, one room at a time. Did two guest bedrooms last week (mostly).
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:06 PM EST] Join Shiral_ (uid327538@owirc-6ro772.irccloud.com) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral_
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:17 PM EST] <bynw> hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:19 PM EST] <Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:23 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hi Everyone
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:26 PM EST] <imladris> need to clear all My clean washed clothes off the guest bed downstairs....
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:31 PM EST] * DesertRose adds this to the table of drinks and food: https://i.postimg.cc/4yf6DwPV/Banana-bread-for-New-Year-s-Day-brunch-31-Dec-2019.jpg
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:39 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hi Evie
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:47 PM EST] <KK> Hopefully, will get the two auctioneers out to the cottage this week.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:48 PM EST] <Shiral_> No family dinner, tonight?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:51 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:14:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> That looks good
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:15:08 PM EST] <DesertRose> That banana bread is long gone, but I'll be baking another batch later this week for a baronial potluck. :)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:15:09 PM EST] <KK> Also looked at two totally unsuitable houses thie past week.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:15:17 PM EST] <Bee> Yummy. What is it?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:15:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> Banana bread. :)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:15:28 PM EST] * Shiral_ puts out hot chocolate and fresh baked bread
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:16:00 PM EST] <Shiral_> House hunting is like that. You see a lot of stuff and think "please don't make me live here."
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:16:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:16:35 PM EST] * Bee sets out flagons of mead for those who want it.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:17:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yum!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:17:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> Or, as my parents found, "this would be lovely if not for [insert problem here]."
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:17:47 PM EST] <Shiral_> Sometimes, when you see a place you like, it's good to go back and look at it at a different time of day. I saw one Condo I liked one morning....and went back to see it the next afternoon. Place was dark as a BAT CAVE
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:18:21 PM EST] <Bee> Is banana bread an authentic medieval SCA recipe?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:18:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> The house I really wanted them to buy was just a little out of budget but it had an amazing kitchen; the house they did buy, they've had to renovate the kitchen just to make it usable, but it was a better call from a price standpoint.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:18:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I missed our shire's event this weekend due to this stupid crud I've got
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:18:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> Ah, no. I don't know that anyone in Europe had even encountered bananas by 1600. :)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:18:52 PM EST] <imladris> KK try house hunting in Wyoming.... within 20 minutes of the hospital....
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:19:13 PM EST] <Shiral_> They were just really really early settlers in Florida. =o)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:19:18 PM EST] <imladris> found a good one. bid on it .. and Freddy mac went with the lower bidder.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:19:21 PM EST] <DesertRose> If they had, I doubt the concept of making a quick bread with overripe ones had been developed.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:19:27 PM EST] <KK> One of the houses was touted as being all on one level, but had a sunken living room. And neither of the baths were ensuite with the master bedroom.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:19:45 PM EST] <Shiral_> Pooh! No good
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:19:57 PM EST] <imladris> Bananas are native to the south pacific... I think.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:20:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> Heck, banana trees won't bear fruit in my part of Florida; down towards Miami, maybe.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:20:11 PM EST] * Bee puts ripe bananas in the blender with strawberry slimfast.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:20:28 PM EST] <Shiral_> So if a Royal Court had bananas, they REALLY must have been doing well.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:20:38 PM EST] <Bee> Where did bananas originally come from?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:20:41 PM EST] <DesertRose> And adventurous, Shiral_!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:20:47 PM EST] <Shiral_> That too!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:21:07 PM EST] <Shiral_> Too far to go for Bananas, for me. But I'd take a voyage to find good oranges
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:21:18 PM EST] <imladris> the bore fruit in fort Lauderdale DR
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:21:52 PM EST] <Shiral_> I am an anti-banana hardliner. Just can't stand the things, unless they're in the form of Bananes flambee or Banana bread.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:22:01 PM EST] <Bee> What fruits are indigenous to the Eleven Kingdoms?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:23:22 PM EST] <Bee> What about Bananas Foster, Shiral?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:23:44 PM EST] <imladris> daughter likes any food that you get to set on fire first.....
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:23:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> imladris was right; bananas are indigenous to southeastern Asia, including a good number of Pacific islands.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:23:55 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi everyone.Sorry I'm a little late
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:24:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi derynifank
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:24:07 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hi DFK
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:24:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:24:13 PM EST] <Bee> Hi DFK
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:24:18 PM EST] <imladris> Steak Diane, Bananas foster, crepes grand marnier flambe.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:24:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> imladris, I'm in Jacksonville. Fort Lauderdale is a good ways south of here. :)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:24:21 PM EST] <Shiral_> I've never had bananas foster, Bee
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:25:00 PM EST] <imladris> The still set fruit on the space coast too.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:25:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> Go to New Orleans and do it right, then, Shiral_. :)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:25:08 PM EST] <Shiral_> But my mom made great bananes flambe. With that much brown sugar, butter rum and whipped cream, even the leather uppers of old shoes would taste good
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:25:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:25:53 PM EST] <Shiral_> A visit to New Orleans would be good. I don't want to cope with Mardi Gras crowds, though
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:25:55 PM EST] <Bee> Food on fire reminds me of s'mores.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:26:10 PM EST] <KK> Shiral, I think that's similar to bananas Foster. Very good!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:26:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> I like bananas. My usual breakfast is a banana with peanut butter; the banana is to keep my potassium up (leg cramps at night = no thanks) and the peanut butter is for protein and because I like it, too.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:26:31 PM EST] <Shiral_> I've heard it is. At least in the butter and brown sugar departments.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:27:08 PM EST] <Shiral_> And I've never been to Nawlins.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:27:10 PM EST] <imladris> DR.. have you tried the peter pan honey roast? will spoil you for other PB
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:27:30 PM EST] <DesertRose> And that's why I make so much banana bread; fairly often, a banana or two gets overripe (for my liking) before I get the bunch eaten, so I peel it, put it in a ziploc freezer bag, and chuck it in the freezer. When I have enough, I make banana bread.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:27:36 PM EST] <Bee> banana + peanut butter = YUM.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:27:55 PM EST] <Shiral_> Peanut butter....now THAT I can get into. For years one of the few things my very picky brother would eat were wheat thin crackers and peanut butter. Which is a really good combination.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:27:56 PM EST] <DesertRose> imladris, I like Smucker's natural in the chunky; I have very little use for creamy peanut butter except maybe making cookies.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:28:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys says hi and purrs at everyone.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:28:39 PM EST] * Shiral_ reaches through screen and gives Carys an ear scritchie
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:28:47 PM EST] <imladris> hello, Carys
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:28:47 PM EST] <Bee> I prefer creamy. Chunky gets caught in my teeth.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:28:47 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> scritches to carys
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:28:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> (She just did her polite bit of tapping my left thigh and then jumped onto my chest.)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:29:07 PM EST] <Shiral_> And... sometimes, I just HAVE to have a peanut butter cup.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:29:21 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys purrs her gratitude for the scritches.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:29:36 PM EST] <Shiral_> Such a polite kitty. =o)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:29:49 PM EST] <Bee> Melantha climbs in my lap and bats my nose when she wants attention
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:30:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> I haven't been back to Charleston that I had time to look, but there used to be a Belgian chocolatier off South Market Street that made peanut butter cups that put Reese's to shame.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:30:23 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> I do love peanut butter cups
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:30:26 PM EST] <Shiral_> Dmitri has to join in all my phone conversations. My mom always knows its me when she hears me shushing Dmitri
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:30:29 PM EST] <DesertRose> I used to buy them for my grandmother when she was undergoing chemo, because they were one of the few things she could stand to eat.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:30:53 PM EST] <Shiral_> Heck with New Orleans--I gotta go to Charleston!!!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:31:13 PM EST] <DesertRose> They (chocolatier) also would get local strawberries when they were in season and do chocolate-covered strawberries that were also out of this world.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:31:20 PM EST] <Dennis> No idea where Miss Missy C has gotten herself off to.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:31:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Charleston is cool
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:31:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> Charleston is New Orleans without the sleaze. New Orleans is Charleston without the inhibitions. :)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:31:53 PM EST] <Bee> LOL!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:31:59 PM EST] <Shiral_> My two have had their suppers, so they're probably having a digestive nap in my bedroom
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:32:14 PM EST] <Dennis> If I declare myself Team Sleaze, I get in trouble, don't it?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:32:14 PM EST] <Dennis> er, don't I?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:32:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> I grew up in the Charleston area; we've had a friendly rivalry with Nawlins for a couple hundred years. :)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:32:40 PM EST] <Shiral_> Better friendly than unfriendly
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:06 PM EST] <Shiral_> But how are the Beignets in Charleston?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Trying out Discord
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:16 PM EST] <imladris> NO... is also more flood prone.. Charleston.. more earthquake prone.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:22 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:23 PM EST] <DesertRose> I have yet to make it to New Orleans other than just passing through, but my parents have gone several times since they retired, and I have to say, even from just passing through Louisiana, you have to WORK to find bad food.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:38 PM EST] <KK> Earthquakes in Charleston?!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:43 PM EST] <DesertRose> I don't know about beignets in Charleston. The breakfast tradition there is shrimp and grits.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:49 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> I have a friend who tried making chocolate fudge but it didn't harden. He called it chocolate soup and ate it with a spoon.Then dipped strawberries in it.Yum
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi Evie!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:33:50 PM EST] <Shiral_> I thought it was a hurricane kind of town???
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:34:06 PM EST] <DesertRose> There was a bad one in the late 1800s, and I remember a milder one when I was in high school (early 1990s).
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:34:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> It gets hurricanes too, but it is on a fault line.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:34:33 PM EST] <Bee> Denns--a little sleaze is okay in the right time and place.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:34:41 PM EST] <Shiral_> I could say Earthquakes don't scare me, but it would be untrue.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:35:36 PM EST] <imladris> It gets hurricanes, but it is still higher in elevation.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:35:42 PM EST] <DesertRose> The one that happened when I was in high school happened while I was in my Latin class, which was in a "mobile classroom" (aka a trailer), and we thought that the classroom's AC unit had failed in some spectacular and noisy way until later, when we found out it was not just us.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:36:10 PM EST] <Shiral_> That'll wobble your jelly
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:36:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> Indeed
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:36:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:36:28 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> Think hurricanes are more common
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:36:51 PM EST] <Shiral_> I'm in no hurry to experience actual hurricanes
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:36:55 PM EST] <Bee> We've had mild quakes in boston. My geography professor thought we might have a big one someday.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:37:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Is anyone?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:37:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hurricanes are a more serious concern than earthquakes in Charleston, but that's not to say that earthquakes aren't a concern at all.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:37:21 PM EST] <Shiral_> Not that I've heard
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:37:31 PM EST] <imladris> We are just about at the 41 yr mark for snow in Miami.... and Lauderdale.. and Nassau
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:37:34 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> Hurricanes are definitely an experience
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:37:38 PM EST] <DesertRose> They're not fun, unless you're one of those adrenaline junkies who fly the hurricane hunter aircraft.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:37:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Not me!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> And hi, Jerusha!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:06 PM EST] <imladris> Charleston has the greatest threat to earthquakes on the East Coast...
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Nope nope nope
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:11 PM EST] <Shiral_> At least with hurricanes, you DO have some advance warning
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:14 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:18 PM EST] <imladris> Also.. the coolest accent.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi Shiral and DR
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:27 PM EST] <Bee> Hurricanes haappen in New England, but they're usually sess severe.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:33 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi EVie, great that you are here. Have missed you
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:35 PM EST] <Bee> less severe too
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:44 PM EST] <bynw> imladris, see PM
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:38:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi! Thanks
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:39:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I'm at home sick tonight,so noticed the time and decided to pop in
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:39:21 PM EST] <DesertRose> True, but the downside is, by the time you know for sure you need to leave, everyone and their cousin is already on the road, and you might as well stay put because it'll suck (or should I say "blow?" ;) )at home, but it'll suck even worse in a car.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:39:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh dear, hope you feel better soon
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:39:45 PM EST] * Bee sends Evie more chicken soup.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:40:06 PM EST] <Shiral_> Have you been switching around any doll heads lately, Evie?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:40:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I don't feel horrible,all things considered, but I've had a mild cough and a fever for three days now
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:40:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Mostly just sleepy all the time,though
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:40:30 PM EST] <Shiral_> Enough to slow a person down
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:40:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Or do the dolls head's just turn round and round?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:40:43 PM EST] <DesertRose> There's some crud going around. Steph got sick, and then Mom caught it yesterday/today.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:40:55 PM EST] <Bee> as long as it's not the new coronavirus.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:41:05 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> I have been fighting a bad cold also this weekend
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:41:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> (Chest congestion and that sort of thing)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:41:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL! Not much doll stuff lately. Just a little
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:42:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I thought i might do craft stuff while stuck at home,but i keep falling asleep. I only really woke up today for more a few minutes at a time maybe an hour ago
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:42:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh dear
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:43:12 PM EST] <Shiral_> Your body is clearly telling you it wants a rest
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:43:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> Rest is probably one of the best things for you at this point, though, Evie. Rest, and stay hydrated.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:43:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Sounds like me in Latin class
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:43:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yup
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:43:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> 😁
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:43:38 PM EST] <Bee> I remember having the flu and feeling the exact moment when my fever broke.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:43:38 PM EST] <DesertRose> You must not have had as awesome a Latin teacher as I had, Jerusha.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:43:49 PM EST] <KK> Yep, rrest and hydration.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:43:59 PM EST] <Shiral_> So if you're looking at new places KK, I take it the new home hunt is on
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:44:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> My Latin teacher was awesome: my logic teacher was demented
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:44:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:44:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> Mine showed up one day with a new hairstyle, and when we asked her about it, she told us she was going to a costume party as Janis Joplin, and then serenaded us with "Mercedes Benz," and she did quite a good Janis impression.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:44:36 PM EST] <Shiral_> That sounds ....illogical as Spock would say
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:44:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> In one class, he tied a string to a fly and let it circle around the classroom.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:45:10 PM EST] <Shiral_> About the demented Logic teacher, I mean
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:45:26 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> How do you tie a string to a fly?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:45:28 PM EST] <DesertRose> How did he tie a string to a fly?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:45:36 PM EST] <Bee> I once won a prize for high school Latin.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:45:37 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL, jinx, derynifank. :)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:45:38 PM EST] <Shiral_> I don't even want to KNOW how he did that
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:45:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> I have no idea, but he did it
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:45:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> With great patience,apparently!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:46:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> I won a couple of prizes at a Latin competition. I still have my trophies, in my cedar chest.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:46:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> He eventually just sort of went away
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:46:06 PM EST] <Shiral_> I'm surprised the fly COULD fly
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:46:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> My two prizes helped my school win the competition, and we were the only public school there, so we were pretty full of ourselves for a while after that.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:47:14 PM EST] <KK> It would have had to be thread, not string.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:47:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Success is good
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:47:28 PM EST] <DesertRose> It helped that Mrs. Williams was freaking awesome.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:47:37 PM EST] <KK> Thread would still be....challenging.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:47:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Or a huge fly! 😂
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:47:41 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> I did it once with a Jubne bug. It flew but not in a circle, crazy
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:47:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi KK; I did not know you were here
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:48:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> But glad you are
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:48:16 PM EST] * Shiral_ has mental image of teacher trying a thread lasso on a fly....
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:48:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:48:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> When I told my mother I wanted to take Latin for my foreign language, she wanted to know why. And then she went to a parent/teacher night at the school and met Mrs. Williams and said, "Ah, now I understand," and so I took Latin (plus one year of French, owing to scheduling weirdness).
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:49:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> If I had known Latin was essential to medieval studies, I would have been more serious about it
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:49:27 PM EST] <DesertRose> I have an armful of purry fuzzbutt.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:49:41 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> June bug
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:49:46 PM EST] <Shiral_> I took Latin in college, and had the same great teacher for both German and Latin. But even he couldn't make German or Latin grammar really stick once we were past the first semester
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:49:58 PM EST] <DesertRose> I think it helped me with my SATs. I would have done fairly well on the verbal part on my own, but I think Latin helped me do even better.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:50:13 PM EST] <Shiral_> The only reflexive verb I remember from German class is "ich bruste mir die haare."
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:50:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I had to close the door on mine because Luke doesn't get why i don't feel up to having him climb around on me
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:50:21 PM EST] * Bee scritches DR's fuzzball.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:50:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys licks your fingers, Bee. (It's a sign of approval, from her.)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:50:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> I hate math, but when I took my SATs, I prayed for more math!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:50:52 PM EST] <KK> Re tying threads, I'm reminded of that scene in Wicker Man, where the creepy little girl has a beetle tied to a thread in her desk, and the thread to a pin, and the poor beetle keeps going round and round and not getting anywhere.it
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:51:15 PM EST] <Dennis> Is Wicker Man the one with "NOT THE BEES!"
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:51:27 PM EST] <Shiral_> I prefer my insects free range... so they can be as far away from me as possible
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:51:32 PM EST] <DesertRose> Indeed!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:51:40 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, and I'm talking about the earlier one, not the recent remake.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:51:41 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank> yup
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:51:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Wicker Man is flaming scary
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:52:02 PM EST] <DesertRose> I appreciate the various contributions to the ecosystem that bugs make, but they can do it without my assistance or my proximity.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:52:11 PM EST] <Shiral_> Ditto, DR
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:52:14 PM EST] <Bee> Swatting flies is one thing; torturing them is something else.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:52:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Or at least not in my house
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:52:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:52:40 PM EST] <KK> Especially t he earlier one. I stood in a room to watch it at a convention, because there were no more seats and I really, really wanted to see it.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:52:55 PM EST] <Dennis> Ah. I thought I was remembering that the Nicolas Cage one was a remake.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:52:58 PM EST] <DesertRose> Swatting them or opening a window and shooing them towards it is fine. Torturing anything is NOT COOL.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:53:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Agreed, DR
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:53:26 PM EST] <Bee> Creepy-crawlies have their place in the ecosystem, but not where I have to see them.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:53:39 PM EST] <Shiral_> Yup. If one can't be kind to another being, at least just leave it alone
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:53:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Or anything with a sharp stinger
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:53:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> Much as I hate mosquitoes, I'll even shoo them out if I can.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:54:00 PM EST] <imladris> 'I enjoyed Scipio and the Punic Wars. . and Caesars Gallic Wars....
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:54:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> Omnia Gallia in tres partes divisa est . . .
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:54:44 PM EST] <KK> Mosquitoes must die! (At least bats eat them.)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:54:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> All of Gaul is divided into three parts?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:54:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:55:07 PM EST] <Shiral_> Any mosquito in my vicinity has crossed battle lines
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:55:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> It's the first line of De Bello Gallico (The Gallic Wars, by Gaius Julius Caesar).
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:55:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> There is a reason I have battery powered mosquito rackets
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:55:59 PM EST] <imladris> Ich haben meine brieftaschen verloren.. << learned that phrase, sadly, while in Germany.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:56:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> In my house, mosquitoes get squished. In the car, if I can, I shoo them out.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:56:12 PM EST] * Shiral_ now has odd vision of mosquitoes playing tennis with battery powered racquets
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:56:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> They sparkle really good when they hit the racket
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:56:45 PM EST] <Shiral_> "I have lost my briefcase" Imladris?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:56:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Cruel, I suppose, but very effective
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:57:22 PM EST] <imladris> My wallet....
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:57:24 PM EST] <imladris> but yes
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:57:24 PM EST] <Bee> Killing quickly doesn't count as cruel, IMHO.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:57:27 PM EST] <Shiral_> I use windex on ant invasions. Because I like my ants sparkling and streak-free
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:57:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> True, Bee.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:57:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:58:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> LOL
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:58:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I'll have to try that
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:58:23 PM EST] <Shiral_> Works every time
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:58:28 PM EST] <imladris> I am growing My own bugs.....
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:58:29 PM EST] <DesertRose> A quick swat (usually with a house slipper or a flip-flop around here) and the only problem after that is cleaning it up and dealing with a cat who thought she was going to hunt whatever it was.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:58:33 PM EST] <imladris> a sericulture.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:58:34 PM EST] <Shiral_> No smudgy ants
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:58:58 PM EST] <Bee> I once broke a window trying to swat a fly.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:59:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Less blood spatter with the rackets
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:59:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Oops
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:59:13 PM EST] <imladris> and .. that sounds like a "palmetto bug" DR
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:59:20 PM EST] <DesertRose> Dang, Bee, you must have gotten your shoulder behind that swat!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [7:59:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> I do have to deal with those from time to time, imladris.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:00:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> Fortunately, not often. My building is pretty conscientious about regular pest control, but the big yucky ones sometimes sneak in from outside despite the best pest control.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:00:19 PM EST] <Bee> no, just a small swat on a small pane. I can't recall if I got the fly or not.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:00:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> But you got the window!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:01:12 PM EST] <KK> Palmetto bugs! Yuck! We hates them!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:01:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> And that pane never annoyed you again after that
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:01:27 PM EST] <imladris> Bronwyn has a taste for her silkworms....
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:01:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> A roach by any other name is still a roach
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:01:38 PM EST] <Dennis> Scooting to watch Doctor Who. Have a good week, everyone!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:01:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> So let's talk about something that isn't bugs. KK, have you done anything fun lately? It seems like Life's dealt you a cruddy hand lately, so a bit of self-indulgence seems in order.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:01:44 PM EST] Quit Dennis (4160adc5@owirc-khp3ee.mibbit.com) has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:01:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Bye Dennis
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:01:58 PM EST] <imladris> KK I knew someone going to school in Hollywood.. no problem with the palmetto bugs.. until she found they could fly...
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:02:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Bye Dennis
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:02:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL, yeah
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:02:20 PM EST] <DesertRose> I didn't get a chance to say bye to Dennis before he scooted.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:02:27 PM EST] <imladris> from then on freaked out by them
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:02:59 PM EST] <Bee> Did any of you read Tristram Shandy in college? There's a scene with Uncle Toby and a fly. "/Go thy way. Why should I hurt thee? Surely there is space enough in the world for thee and me."
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:03:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha> Unless it is a mosquito
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:03:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> Have you declared a Be Nice to Katherine Day, KK? (IFor what my opinion is worth, I think you're due one or several.)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:03:40 PM EST] <KK> Next Saturday, going to the MET broadcast of Porgy and Bess.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:03:42 PM EST] <imladris> That was before he found it was a screw fly ready to lay its eggs on him.....
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:03:45 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, that sounds good!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:04:02 PM EST]<DesertRose> "Summertime, and the livin' is easy. . . "
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:04:25 PM EST] <Eris> <derynifank>OOh that should be really good, great music
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:04:48 PM EST] <Bee> -- I didn't know Alaric's sister raised silkworms. ;)
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:04:55 PM EST] <imladris> << -- If I sing I got Rhythm..  is obvious lie
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:05:07 PM EST] <imladris> I raise them for her.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:05:16 PM EST] <Shiral_> iBe Nice To Katherine Day sounds like a good iea
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:05:28 PM EST] <Shiral_> idea, too
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:05:32 PM EST] <KK> Had a palmetto bug crawl across my sandaled toes one time, in HS.  My instinct was to kick up, which sent the bug flying.  And then there was a shriek behind me.  I pretended not to have noticed.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:05:48 PM EST] <Shiral_> Much better than a good Ikea
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:05:52 PM EST] <Shiral_> LOL
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:06:06 PM EST] <imladris> lol
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:06:18 PM EST] <imladris> That when you were a Cavalier?
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:06:29 PM EST] <KK> I was!
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:06:34 PM EST] <Eris><derynifank> ha
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:06:41 PM EST] <KK> And a Hurricane.
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:06:49 PM EST] <imladris> Best darn marching band uniforms....
[Sunday, January 26, 2020] [8:06:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL

"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.)
