[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:05:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:05:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:05:17 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:05:41 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, hello.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:05:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> How are you, considering?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:05:54 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, KK!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:06:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (I don't imagine much anyone is bouncing for joy at the moment.)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:07:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> waves hello to all
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:07:08 PM EDT] <KK> Hanging in there. Have actually gotten a fair amount done in the past couple of days.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:07:13 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Shiral
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:07:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:07:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi all.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:07:21 PM EDT] <Dennis> That's good to hear. Hi, Shiral!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:07:29 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Shiral.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:07:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> When you have to stay home, it helps with motivation to pack I suppose
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:07:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:08:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Camber, DarkSir, DFK, DR Eris, Festil and KK
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:08:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I know a lot of people who are using their time to clear out. Expect the thrift store will be packed afterwards.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:08:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:09:02 PM EDT] <bynw> remember Eris is a bot and just links the IRC chat with Discord happily transcribing everything for us

[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:09:36 PM EDT] <Matt> Hello everyone
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:09:39 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Matt
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:09:42 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Bee
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:09:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've been known to say hi to derynibot a time or two.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:09:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:09:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Matt, Bynw and all
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:10:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Bee
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:10:06 PM EDT] <Matt> How is everyone doing today?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:10:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi shiral.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:10:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Trundling along. Created a birthday card for my brother whose birthday is tomorrow.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:10:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Happy birthday to your brother, Shiral.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:10:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> a bit tired, but ookay otherwise
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:11:06 PM EDT] <KK> Had 2 friends come over yesterday afternoon (we kept our social distancing) and they hauled away a dead sofa and 2 dead chairs from the upstairs landing, then I moved 2 different chairs and a little round table up where the couch had been. Looks great. And they took away several coats, some books, took some books upto the media room for me, to get them out of the way for a while. And today, my yard crews came and trimmed the front hedge, which
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:11:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Poor guy. LAST year at t his time, we were celebrating his 60th with a family trip to Arizona.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:11:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose>
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:11:37 PM EDT] <Matt> Wow
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:11:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Sounds like a productive week, KK
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:12:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That sounds like good progress, KK. Your message got cut off after "trimmed the front hedge, which," BTW.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:12:09 PM EDT] <Matt> Very productive
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:12:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What's up, DR? Why the sadface?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:12:43 PM EDT] <KK> trimmed the front hedge, which hadn't been done in a year. Lots of pollen here, but I'm mostly staying inside other than to check on the guys a couple of times. It looks wonderful.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:12:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> For Shiral's brother (and you, come to think) for birthdays landing during a pandemic.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:18 PM EDT] <Dennis> Eh. As long as you're an introvert, it's not so bad.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:19 PM EDT] <Matt> We had our 6th wedding anniversary yesterday
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It really DOES cut down on how much celebrating you can do, yeah
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, the pollen here is brutal. I've been lazing around today because my sinuses are giving me hell.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello all
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:34 PM EDT] <Dennis> Happy anniversary, Mat!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Laurna.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> Happy anniverary Matt
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:43 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, Laurna
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Happy anniversary and many more, Matt and spouse!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:47 PM EDT] <Matt> Thank you! Hi Laurna
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> True, Dennis! My sister and I were talking on the phone and saying we were both really doing okay. It DOES make a difference when you HAVE to stay home, though.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:13:59 PM EDT] <Matt> Her name's Jen
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:14:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Happy Anniversary, Matt
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:14:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Yes, it was a quiet celebration. I got takeout from an Indian resaurant, but i look forward to dining out again.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:14:13 PM EDT] <Matt> Thank you all
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:14:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Happy anniversary and many more, Matt and Jen!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:14:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> There's a lot of things to look forward to when the danger will be gone.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. I may not let go of the next person I get to hug.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:02 PM EDT] <Matt> Jen's an avid reader but she hasn't quite gotten onto the KK bandwagon
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Happy anniversary to Matt and Jen
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:05 PM EDT] <KK> Bee, I've also been considering Indian takeout. Great minds.... ;-)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> Being an introvert I am rather enjoying my home stay. At least inbetween work
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Bee
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm not a huge extrovert, but I DO like to hug certain people in my life, and not being able to hug them is not fun.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello bee
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:34 PM EDT] <Matt> We are very introverted too btw
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Many, many more
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:55 PM EDT] <bynw> working from home is great. i love it
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:55 PM EDT] <Dennis> We got Chinese tonight. Haven't been doing takeout, but decided to tonight.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:15:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I confess I went out and brought home some barbecued ribs> But since the cashier and I were the only people IN the place, there wasn't a problem
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:16:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I had to do some banking today, and while I was in the shopping place, I managed to score a chicken to roast. YEsss!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:16:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, I got supper delivered last night.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:16:41 PM EDT] <Laurna> We have a good chinese restraunt near that I should get some take out from, maybe next weekend'
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:16:53 PM EDT] <KK> I talk to the critters, and make phone calls and text. Actually got to talk to live people in person yesterday and today. Kept my distance, of course.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:17:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I mostly stay at home anyway, so isolation wasn't that big a deal for me.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:17:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good to both talking to real people and keeping the distance
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:17:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh yeah, I talk to Carys far more than I talk to anyone else, LOL, but I called my mom today (twice, actually, because I remembered a question I meant to ask but forgot) and an SCA friend who doesn't have home internet and had good chats.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:17:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The cats are looking at me like "Well this is nice, don't get us wrong. But sometimes we need our personal space..."
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:18:01 PM EDT] <KK> I miss my physio the most, I think, at leaset for activities. I know I'm losing condition.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:18:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, I miss the pool at the YMCA for sure.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:18:17 PM EDT] <Dennis> I find it weird. I really enjoy the not having to rush out of the house in the morning or commute, but I get really antsy in the afternoon in a way I don't when I'm in the office.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:18:36 PM EDT] <Matt> I use Skype and FB Messenger if I feel the need to communicate with the "outside world" lol
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:18:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Watched a quick video clip today of a woman who was trying to do ballet instruction from home. Her cat was trying to join in.=o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:19:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> That would be fun
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:19:02 PM EDT] <Matt> That's cute Shiral
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:19:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We have a family video call set up tomorrow morning so at least we can wish my brother a happy birthday and we can at least see each other.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:19:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> I watch the puppies, a lot. They are getting bigger
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:19:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, Layla sometimes "helps" Mom with her little stretching/cool-down thing she does (it's on a DVD); Merlin's idea of help is biting chunks off the yoga mat, LOL.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:19:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> You're lucky to have built-in entertainment, Laurna. =o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:04 PM EDT] <Matt> Our cats sleep all day. I guess it's "competitive sleeping" lol
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> PJ observes from a chair.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Love puppies. Bet they are endless entertainment
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My sister wants to plan a family get-together via ZOOM. Has anyone here used ZOOM?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> 12 days old today
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:19 PM EDT] <KK> Eyes open yet, Laurna, or is it stilol too early?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:19 PM EDT] <Dennis> I've done a couple of group video calls with friends, which were very nice.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Zoom is SUPER easy, Bee.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:31 PM EDT] <Laurna> Not yet, I keep waiting for it.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:33 PM EDT] <Dennis> Bee We used it for a chat last night. It was pretty easy.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That's what we're using tomorrow. Will probably start using zoom at work to to online book chats, too
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:20:50 PM EDT] <Matt> I've never really used zoom
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:21:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've used it for several things, including a doctor's visit on Friday, since it was just a med check.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:21:18 PM EDT] <KK> I also need to learn how to do Zoom and Skype and those other apps.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:21:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I googled it yesterday. There are so many sites to download it from, I got confused.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:21:50 PM EDT] * bynw has skype, zoom, duo, and freeconferencecall
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:21:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Bee, use zoom dot us.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:21:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Skype came on my computer, but I hadn't used it much
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:21:55 PM EDT] <Matt> Skype is pretty easy KK
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:22:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> Revanne gave her sermon this morning and posted it on facebook. She did well and it was good to watch.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:22:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I love her speaking voice, revanne's.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:22:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've never used skype either, even though my computer may have it.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:22:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> How did you find it. Would love to hear her
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:23:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thanks, DR.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:23:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> I have her as a friend on face book.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:23:18 PM EDT] <KK> I watched morning prayer done by one of my priest friends in MY; she was awesome!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:23:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Here, DerynifanK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/118641718760414/
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:23:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's her church's Facebook group.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:24:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My sister lives in Canada.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:24:48 PM EDT] <KK> Mother Abby is in NY.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:25:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I wastched my church service on Facebook, but it just wasn't the same as being there.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:25:06 PM EDT] <Matt> My uncle lives in ND and was telling me about the number of cases they have there versus ours in AZ.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:25:12 PM EDT] <bynw> my church always has a online broadcast. so they are just now doing only the online one
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:25:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Ours is on a local radio station.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:25:45 PM EDT] <Matt> I think it's awesome that many churches are doing online services now.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:25:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:04 PM EDT] * TheDeryni returns from dinner & blinks as he notices many peoples arrived while he was stuffing his face.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:28 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, JErusha!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha. What was for supper, The_Bee?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:30 PM EDT] <bynw> hi jerusha
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:31 PM EDT] <Matt> I think when things go back to normal they need to keep offering it online for those who might not be able to go to church.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oops, TheDeryni.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:40 PM EDT] <Matt> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:57 PM EDT] <Dennis> I was today years old when I learned that revanne's screen name is simple Rev. Anne.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:26:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> TD, we all have to keep up our strength, these days
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:27:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> on my birthday, lamb something. beef saag for later.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:27:06 PM EDT] <Dennis> I feel kinda silly.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:27:18 PM EDT] <Dennis> Is your birthday today, Bee?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:27:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, a lot of people have made that goof; someone thought it was a feminized version of Revan, from the Heirs of St. Camber, but she joked that she wasn't that creative.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:27:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> March 21.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:27:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> Happy Birthday Bee
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:27:47 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Every birthday is my 21st.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:27:49 PM EDT] <Matt> Happy belated birthday Bee
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Happy birthday Bee

[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:17 PM EDT] <KK> Happy birthday, Bee.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:20 PM EDT] * DesertRose sets out red beans and rice on the savory table.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Yay, birhtday cake
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:30 PM EDT] <Matt> My favorite!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Special cake. Whatever your favorite kind of cake is, that's what you get when you cut a slice
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:40 PM EDT] * DesertRose puts ice cream beside the cake, too.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> contributes Orange Frosted Cookies
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <TheDeryni> I agree, Shiral
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yum!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:28:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> adds fresh spring strawberries

[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:02 PM EDT] * The_Bee blows out the candles and hands out slices to everyone.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Oh, so cute
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:16 PM EDT] <Matt> Anyone else get pie for their birthday instead of cake?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Sooo cute, Laurna!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Awwwwww!!!!!! Puppy therapy!!!4
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:27 PM EDT] <Dennis> Ah. Another March birthday. I'm never sure if there are more March birthdays, or if I just notice them more.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ooh, is a baby puppy!!!!! SQUEEE!!!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is baby boy #5
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Not I, although I do definitely love pie, Matt
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have, a couple of years. One year it was pecan pie.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:29:59 PM EDT] <Matt> Mm
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> My grandson wanted key lime pie for his birthday. He was 18
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:09 PM EDT] <Dennis> Mmm... pie.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> gently rubs puppy ears
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> At my birthday dinner, I had profiteroles
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> I love Key lime pie
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:16 PM EDT] <KK> Cuuuute!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hey, key lime pie is yummy!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:21 PM EDT] <Matt> I'm partial to Pumpkin pie
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Pumpkin pie is good too.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Nine months after June weddings <3
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, Bee, but you're likely not wrong.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm an apple or berry pie person
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Key lime pie is a family favorite.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:30:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> MMMMM berry pie with ice cream
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:31:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's probably also the reason there are so many birthdays in August and September; people get cold in November and December.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:31:07 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Chocolate Cheese Cake
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:31:07 PM EDT] <KK> Love key lime pie.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:31:10 PM EDT] <Matt> Sounds delish
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:31:12 PM EDT] <Dennis> Mine was a June wedding, but we'd already agreed no kids.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:31:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Key lime pie done well is divine
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:31:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Just fur kids, yeah?

[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:31:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello Houndmistress
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:31:48 PM EDT] <Matt> Sorry if I made everyone hungry for pie now lol
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:01 PM EDT] <Dennis> One fur kid for now. The Mighty Missy Cat is not willing to share.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yeah, that's kind of a problem, lately. =o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:03 PM EDT] <Matt> Hi HoundMistress
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I was hungry anyway because the red beans have been simmering for about an hour and a half.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:06 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, everyone!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I did try to make some meringues, yesteray. EPIC fail.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Need to put pilee on the dessert tab
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Houndmistress
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> pie
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:31 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh crud! I just got here and now I'm hugry!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Sorry!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:40 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, Houndmistress!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> We do what we can
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:32:52 PM EDT] <Matt> Matt's fault
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:33:02 PM EDT] <Matt> lol shame on me
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:33:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Okay, we'll go with that--it was Matt's fault. =o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:33:26 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hi HoundMistress
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:33:41 PM EDT] <Matt> Jen made a blueberry cobbler one year for Thanksgiving. It was amazing
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:33:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi TD and Houndmistress
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:33:55 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> We're having left over Schlotzky's. They accidentally gave me 2 and you can't take them back...
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:34:18 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi,TD
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:34:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I made an apple tart last year. It was pretty darn good, if I do say so myself.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:34:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> Now I want to bake
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:34:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The pandemic has gotten me thinking about the 1918 flu. My mom lost her mother in that.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:34:49 PM EDT] <Matt> Apple tarts sound good
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:34:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> What is Schlotzky's?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:34:51 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That's sad.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:34:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Now I want to eat
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:35:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Sandwich place, Shiral.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:35:07 PM EDT] <Matt> Svhlotzkys Deli
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:35:25 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I love the Original on dark bread.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:35:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My paternal grandfather almost died. They thought he had and notified his family to come get his body. His sister Alice found him alive in the morgue
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:35:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Mom was 7; her siblings were too young to remember.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:35:52 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oh dear!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:35:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> OMG Shiral!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:36:01 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Now that's scary, Shiral!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:36:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Oh my!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:36:08 PM EDT] <Matt> Wow!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:36:13 PM EDT] <KK> Was this recently, Shiral?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:36:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, fortunately they found him in time to save his life. If they hadn't, I wouldn't be sitting here, would I? =o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:36:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> 1918, KK
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:36:43 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is very scary
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:36:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My paternal grandfather nearly died in the Influenza epidemic
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:36:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Really glad they found him and that you are here
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:36:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Influenza with pregnancy was as especially deadly combination.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:37:05 PM EDT] <Matt> That sounds awful Bee!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:37:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Thanks DFK. I'm pretty happy about that outcome too although he died before I was born.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:37:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> They hoped they could save the baby, but no.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:37:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> We are glad you are here, Shiral
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:37:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Thanks. Have more birthday cake and pie and ....
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:37:57 PM EDT] <Matt> Yes definitely Shiral
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:37:58 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, we are Shiral
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:39:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> His health was very chancy, and he left Michigan to come to San Diego. That's where he met and married my grandmother. Funny enough, they both came from Nigaunee (sp?) Michigan, but never met there.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:39:54 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That's a weird coincidence
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:40:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My grandfather's family were French Canadian an Catholic, my grandmother's family were staunch English speaking protestants. There wasn't a lot of mingling going on.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:41:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> San Diego was much easier on my grandfather's health than Upper Michigan. But he still died in 1933 when my father was 6.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:41:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> My dad if from Upper Michigan
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:42:14 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Did they move back to MI then?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:42:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> My uncle lives in Michigan
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:42:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I recently made a friend on Facebook, and we discovered that we went to the same high school, although I had graduated before they got there, so we weren't there at the same time.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:42:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I understand Upper Michgan is very lovely in the fall.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:43:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> No. My grandmother was a teacher, and stayed to raise my father and my Aunt Jeanne there. My father's Aunt Alice and her sisters moved West, also
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:43:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've seen some amazing pics of Mackinac (sp?) Island.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:43:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Winters are hard, though
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:43:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Amy Tan and I went to the same college. But NOT at the same time.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:44:09 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I watch Dr Pol and the winters look very hard there.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:44:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I lived in Bay City ,MI for a few years when I was a librarian.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:44:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I could handle a late-spring/summer/early-fall visit to that part of the world (upper Michigan), but the winter gets a hard NOPE from this fragile warm-climate flower.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:44:41 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Nope, me neither!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:44:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It's why my grandfather left, on doctor's orders.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:45:16 PM EDT] <KK> I loke Dr Pol.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:45:27 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Isn't he the best, KK?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:45:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Who is Dr Pol?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:45:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> What channel is Dr. Pol to be found on?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:46:01 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Nat Geo Wild
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:46:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Okay, thanks
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:46:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Isn't he a veterinarian? (I watch almost no TV.)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:46:18 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> He's a crusty old veterinarian in MI
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:46:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Don't think I get that channel
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:46:42 PM EDT] * bynw is gonna have to head out in about 15 minutes. the 2nd part of a 2 part show is on
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:46:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Came originally from Holland, I think.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:47:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Since I seem to be home for prolonged periods lately, perhaps I'll see if I can find him, =o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:47:27 PM EDT] <KK> What show is that, Bynw?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:47:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cool. I have an online friend in the Netherlands, and I think Evie has one too.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:47:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Don't want to miss your show!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:47:42 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Justin Long & Peter Sarsgaard went to my high school.....after me (because I'm an elder I hear).
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:47:57 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, Dr Pol is dutch-born, and still has that delightful accent.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:48:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, he does and he doesn't fool around like some TV Vets.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:48:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> There's a neat episode of Story Cove called "The Canals of Utrecht." It's become one of my favorite go-to-sleep tracks.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:49:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Have any of you read Lilian Jackson Braun's "The Cat Who..." mysteries? They're set in "northeast central United States," which I interpret as Upper Michigan.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:49:24 PM EDT] <bynw> part 2 of the Forgotten West Memphis Three on Oxygen. I've been following that case since the original HBO documentary came out in 97
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:49:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Pleasant British voice taking you on a verbal tour of the city.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:49:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I LOVE The Cat Who, Bee.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:49:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mom and I steamed through those a few years ago.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:49:45 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, Bee! Aren't they great!!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:50:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, I was getting an upper peninsula vibe from The Cat Who. Don't ask me why.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:50:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Heh, for a moment I read that as "Mom an I SCREAMED through those" DR. =o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:51:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, if you use "scream" as a verb meaning "to move rapidly," yes.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:51:37 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Lol
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:51:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Tee hee!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:51:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They are such fun stories; they made me want a Siamese cat, even though I know good and well I don't have the patience for one.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:52:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I like my laid-back rescue tabby. <3
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:52:30 PM EDT] <Matt> Back everyone. Had to put some nuggets in the oven and check laundry
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:52:37 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Siamese are very dog like in some ways
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:52:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Pan, who was my cat before Dmitri must have had Siamese blood in him somewhere, because he had the big ears and the VOICE
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:52:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I loved their newspaper--"The Moose County Something."
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:53:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> One of my exes brought to our relationship a gorgeous tuxie who was 1/4 Siamese, but Blackfoot had the body shape, not the voice, of a Siamese. Fortunately.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:53:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Moose county was delightfully different
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:54:04 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> No mistaking a Siamese voice
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:54:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Never Especially when they're hungry
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:54:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've read they sound like a crying baby.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:54:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Nope, but it's not so much the tone as the chattiness. Carys can be talky, when she's of a mind to, but it's not wall-to-wall meowing the way a lot of Siamese cats do.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:55:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Our feral Siamese marked girl just had 4 kittens a coupld of weeks ago. They wrere on the neighbors front porch when it was raining and left the weakest one, so the neighbor went out an got it and is raising it.

[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:55:50 PM EDT] <bynw> bengals can be talky at times too
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:55:54 PM EDT] * bynw waves to Revanne

[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:56:18 PM EDT] <Revanne> Hi all
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:56:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Were your ears burning? We were talking about your sermon earlier.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:56:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Hi Revanne
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:56:27 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hey Revanne
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:56:34 PM EDT] * bynw just watched the sermon
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:56:48 PM EDT] <Revanne> I was very nervous
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:56:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Tatiana satisfies herself with brief comments, most of which sound like "MEEP!"
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:56:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Is there a link above?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:57:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> https://www.facebook.com/groups/118641718760414/
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:57:04 PM EDT] <The_Bee> It was good to see a face to go with your name.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:57:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> You did a great job, revanne!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:57:22 PM EDT] <bynw> but now i have to go watch my show on oxygen on the west memphis three
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:57:24 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Thanks DR
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:57:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's the group for Revanne's church, but her sermon is the first post, I think.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:57:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Great sermon Revanne
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:57:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Later, bynw!

[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:58:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I may have to go afk in a minute to check on my red beans.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:58:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But I'll be back once I've given them a good stir.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:58:37 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yum
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:59:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They've been simmering for something like two hours now. My apartment smells wonderful.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [7:59:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> How goes everything, revanne?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:00:07 PM EDT] <Revanne> Duncan refused to write a sermon for me which I thought was mean of him.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:00:08 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> So, they're red because they are mad about being boiled for 2 hours?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:00:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Grandpa used to bake beans overnight in a beanhole.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:00:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Shame on Duncan! He should have pity on a poor priest!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:00:28 PM EDT] <Revanne> Ok Jerusha but very odd.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:00:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, TheDeryni.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:00:31 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> You have to boil the devil out of them
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:00:35 PM EDT] <KK> A beanhole?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:01:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Or sermons?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:01:15 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, what's a beanhole?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:01:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, and also let them simmer in all the yummy seasonings.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:01:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Plain beans of whatever color are boring.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:01:49 PM EDT] <Revanne> Much harder work than being able to see people. Several folk have asked me what I am doing with my spare time. What spare time?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:01:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> a covered pot placed in a hole in the ground; I believe hot stones were involved.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:01:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I love pinto beans and ham.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:02:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> With cornbread baked in a cast-iron skillet, HoundMistress!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:02:26 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:02:34 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Where a bean pole is stuck in the ground? A beahole?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:02:36 PM EDT] <Revanne> Sounds good
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:02:58 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> *Beanhole
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:03:04 PM EDT] <KK> Ahhhh.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:03:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Why does Jack and the Beanstalk come to mind?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:03:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I can imagine ministry is tough when you can't be in-person with your parishioners. I mean, it seems like a tough calling regardless, but this is a challenge no one wanted.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:03:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> It was partly heated by an outdoor fireplace, I believe. My memories a a bit faint.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:03:57 PM EDT] <Revanne> Yep, DR. No training for this one.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:04:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I was saying earlier, the next time I get to hug someone, I might not let go. I'm not a huge extrovert, but I miss hugging my hug people.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:04:46 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Me, too
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:04:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> THat only applies if you trade your cow for the beans, Jerusha. =o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:05:10 PM EDT] <Revanne> But lots of good things - folk are getting themselves into email groups etc and we have only one or 2 folk who don't do technology at all.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:05:22 PM EDT] Quit Dennis (4160adc5@owirc-ai2h0j.mibbit.com) has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:05:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yeah. NOT being able to be with others as we would in a similar crisis is particularly hard.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:05:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> me too, therewer etwo people at church who gave me hugs every Sunday.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:05:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. The situation sucks, but the way a lot of people are coming up with ways to be in community and help each other out is amazing.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:06:08 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> I haven't breathed the outside air since the 11th
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:06:15 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I just wish they'd quit buying up all the TP
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:06:18 PM EDT] <Matt> You are definitely right about that DesertRose
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:06:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The Red Cross is begging for blood donors.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:06:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Thats's true. And when I walk around in my neighborhood, although everyone is careful to stay away, everyone also smiles and says hello
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:06:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes. Hoarding is just rude
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:06:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Living on a semi-remote lake has its perks
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:07:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And I have to wonder....WHY all the TP?? NOt the wine, not the coffee?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:07:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I wish I felt better; I used to donate blood all the time, but I don't know that I'd pass the hemoglobin test any more.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:07:10 PM EDT] <Revanne> On a lighter note some of the darker reahes of my pantry are seeing the light of day though the Tomato Ketchup dated best before 2015 went into the bin.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:07:22 PM EDT] <Matt> Some people I thought were hoarding were just buying for the elderly care homes to help out
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:07:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Smart move, Revanne
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:07:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Really! It' not that kind of virus
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:07:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I saw that, Revanne!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:07:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I used to be a regular blood donor but now I can't get my hemoglobin high enough
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:07:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello revanne, Wonderful sermon this morning
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:07:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> I found a couple of those types of items too, revanne
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:08:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I still have store-bought yeast, but more or less out of boredom, I started sourdough a few nights ago.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:08:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I understand if you're in a multi-person household, but PLEASE try to leave something for the rest of us.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:08:16 PM EDT] <Matt> My BP is too high to donate and I take medications to keep it lowered
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:08:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I know, right?! (re toilet paper)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:08:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I read an article on the TP. It linked it to our primitive selves. "We all eat, we all sleep, we all poop."
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:08:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> So did DS1, and it exploded !
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:08:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Fortunately, I have yeast and flour. AM wondering "why yeast?"
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:08:48 PM EDT] <KK> I lived in Europe for 21 years, so I can't donate: mad cow dangers, they think. And I also now have polycythemia vera, so they can't use my blood.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:09:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My mom sent me an article from Cook's Illustrated about making a tiny sourdough starter so you don't burn through so much flour. That's what I'm doing.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:09:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I feel guilty for not donating more often.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:09:27 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, no! And I didn't know Mad Cow was still a thing.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:09:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well....it sure has been overshadowed, lately
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:09:45 PM EDT] <Revanne> Can you share that DR - I love sour dough
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:09:45 PM EDT] <Matt> KK: Jen has polycythemiavera too
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:09:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't know that it is, HoundMistress, but people who lived in Europe or visited longer than a few months when it was are barred from blood donation in the US at least.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:10:10 PM EDT] <Matt> Do you have to do bloodlettings?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:10:16 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Interesting!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:10:29 PM EDT] <Matt> They had to dump a pint of Jen's blood awhile back
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:11:04 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I'll have to read up on PCV
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:11:07 PM EDT] <Revanne> We don't still have mad cow over here but it maybe is one of those things that lurks in the blood cells
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:11:22 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Maybe so, Revanne
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:11:41 PM EDT] <Revanne> Or maybe we've all got it... laughs maniacally...
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:12:07 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, Matt. But not s often now as I did two years ago, when it was first diagnosed. Phlebotomy, it's called; and they can't use the blood for anything, not even the plasma.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:12:12 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I'm going to have to go feed previously referenced sem-feral mama cat in a bit but not yet
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:13:04 PM EDT] <Matt> Yeah, same thing with Jen. At least the blood lettings help her feel better. She notes more energy afterwards
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:13:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is momcat tame enough to let you feed her?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:13:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Is next Sunday an early Sunday for chat?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:13:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL, Revanne
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:13:36 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, no, she stands away & won't come to the bowl till we back up or leave
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:13:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Should be
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:13:44 PM EDT] <Revanne> Hi Laurna, sorry just seen you.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:13:54 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Thanks, Eris
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:14:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hehe I am here but watching moma feed puppies so I am entertained in two ways
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:14:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Poor Mamakitty is probably scared of people for good reason
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:14:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Puppies!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:14:43 PM EDT] <Revanne> Puppies sound lovely
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:14:47 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Awwww! Love watching puppies!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:14:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Is the picture you shared with us the littlest boy?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:15:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is the biggest boy
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:15:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'd be in so much trouble in the presence of actual puppies.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:15:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> So cute!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:15:28 PM EDT] <KK> Gus just came and jumped onto my lap, loudly announcing his arrival.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:15:32 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They are fun, but a LOT of work
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:15:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi there, Gus
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:15:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Worth it, though
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:15:47 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Awww! Gus!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:15:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi Gus
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:15:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Their cuteness is a survival tactic, I 'm sure
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:16:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi there, Gus
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:16:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> That works for all babies
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:16:15 PM EDT] <Revanne> Hi Gus
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:16:21 PM EDT] <KK> I'm sure. For all species.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:16:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> OOps, that's twice to greet Gus.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:16:35 PM EDT] <Revanne> Yep, lure you in.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:16:46 PM EDT] <KK> He doesn't mind, Shiral.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:17:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm glad, KK =o)/me gives Gus an ear scritch virtually
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:17:12 PM EDT] <Revanne> We have especially cute pictures of DS which I intend to show his finance
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:17:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/PKlBhWYz/image.png
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:17:23 PM EDT] * The_Bee scritches Gus. "Hello, Gus. Are you taking good care of our KK?"
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:17:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> This is boy #1 The littlest one
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:17:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It worked with Dmitri when he was a hoolikitten
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:17:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Soo cute
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:17:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Such a cute puppy
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:17:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Sooo cute.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:18:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> AWWWW!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:18:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> Love them all
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:18:09 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Very cute, Laurna!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:18:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Two boys, three girls?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:18:35 PM EDT] <Revanne> So cute. And I love the blanket.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:18:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> #1 hit one pound today. # 5 is at 1lb 6oz
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:19:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> 4boys 1 girl
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:19:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> She won't be spoiled, of course
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:19:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> Right!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:19:31 PM EDT] <Revanne> How's momma doing?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:20:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> Very good. But the first hour after the first one was born was touchy. She was like "What is that thing get it away from me."
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:20:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Her first litter?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:20:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Motherhood is not instantaneous
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:20:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Of Course not. None of the puppies will be spoiled! 😀
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:20:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> once she had had two pups and they were nursing she settled in.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:21:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oh and she had to deliever them on my couch she would not sit in her nesting box for anything.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:21:35 PM EDT] <Revanne> One at a time was quite bad enough.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:22:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh dear
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:22:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sorry, Revanne, the red beans called me to the kitchen. The sourdough is easy, especially if you have a kitchen scale. To start, 10 g each of flour and water, mix them up in a small container that has a lid, close it but don't seal it, and set it in the kitchen for 2-3 days. After the second day, check it for bubbling.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:23:29 PM EDT] <Laurna> lots of bed pads and blankets and towels down of course.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:23:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Once it's bubbling, put 5 g of the original mix into another container with 10 more g of flour and water, and rinse and repeat every day for about two weeks.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:23:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> DS1's blew up on the third day
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:24:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Mother knows best, of course. 🙂
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:24:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Did he seal the container? That may have been the problem. You want it covered but with some air flow.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:24:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> I thought you had to have sourdough strater to make sourdough bread
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:24:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> I didn't ask. The picture was awesome, though
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:24:33 PM EDT] <KK> Ew. Don't care for sour dough.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:24:35 PM EDT] <Revanne> Thanks DR. I don't really do metric am guessing 10g is about a teaspoonful.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:24:36 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yep, got to let the gases out.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:24:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We had a cat who gave birth to one kitten, then walked away. My mom fed it with a doll's baby bottle. The nest day, Tinkerbell heard the kitten crying, said "Omigosh ! I forgot." And proceeded to have four more.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:24:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> What I just gave are the instructions for sourdough starter, Laurna.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:24:58 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Wow! Bee!!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:25:10 PM EDT] <Revanne> Wow Bee
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:25:23 PM EDT] <Matt> Wow Bee!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:25:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> Glad she had more
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:25:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Wow!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:25:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> A heaping tablespoon, Revanne. And the water is about 2 teaspoons.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The first kitten may have been the Starter. =o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> Singltons are tough because there are not enough hormones to start the mothering process.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:16 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> LOL!
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, Shiral.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:26 PM EDT] <Revanne> Thanks.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:39 PM EDT] * TheDeryni raises an eyebrow as he watches quite a few red jumping beans coming into the room from Dr's kitchen.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:40 PM EDT] <Revanne> Lol Shiral
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL Shiral
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Because the quantities are so small, you need to let it mature for about two weeks before it's really punchy enough to leaven anything.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol TD
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:26:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Francesca was a pretty good mother when Nina was born. They remained close all their lives.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:27:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I was her second litter. Earlier she'd had one stillborn; then she walked into the kitchen with a live kitten in her mouth.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:27:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> it was.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:28:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Thank you for clarifying that, Bee. =o)
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:28:17 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Phew
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:28:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> "mom come look what I have for you."
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:28:25 PM EDT] * DesertRose pictures Bee as a tabby kitten, striped like a bumblebee.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:28:30 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Showing it off, or asking What do I do NOW.?
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:28:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> "See? I can do it, too!"
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:29:00 PM EDT] <Revanne> Nice to see you all. Definitely worth waking up at 1am for but going to try to catch some more sleep now. Goodnight.
[Sunday, March 29, 2020] [8:29:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> G'night!
