[DesertRose]

Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:02:24 PM EDT] Join KK has joined this channel.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:02:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But I haven't used Skype in a while; it may be better than it used to be.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:02:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:02:40 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, KK, how are you?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:02:47 PM EDT] <Bee> I've never used skype, even thoough there's a skyp thing on my computer.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:02:55 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:03:20 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> My computer doesn't have a camera function, only my phone.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:03:32 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all. Couldn't get in the usual way, but this seems to have worked.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:04:00 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I wonder if that is why there aren't more on yet>
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:04:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, bynw has been tinkering with settings for security reasons. How was your week?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:04:13 PM EDT] <Bee> I really don't know everything my computer or cell phone can do.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:04:37 PM EDT] <Bee> Kiwi worked for me.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:04:42 PM EDT] <KK> Week was ok. I got to resume my physio, which was good.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:05:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> What are you physio-ing? I'm going for my spine, at the moment.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:05:10 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi all
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:05:14 PM EDT] <Bee> What kinds of exercises are you doing, KK?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:05:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Even in normal times, I feel like I'm always in physical therapy for SOMETHING, LOL.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:05:33 PM EDT] <KK> Bynw will tell you, I did succeed in getting into a Zoom session on Friday evening. It was really cool!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:05:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:05:41 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, bynw
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:05:47 PM EDT] <Bee> Cool!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:05:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello evveryone
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:06:06 PM EDT] <KK> Exercises for balance and back. Knees are much improved from what they were a year ago, but I continue to work on them.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:06:07 PM EDT] <bynw> yes it was great to see KK on zoom on friday night
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:06:17 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:06:27 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi Shiral. How are you and the pygmy lions?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:06:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh dear, I missed the Zoom
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:06:40 PM EDT] <KK> Do we have the capability for doing a Zoom session on occasion?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:07:03 PM EDT] <Bee> If someone knows how to host it
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:07:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Pygmy lions are napping in my bedroom. I'm fine. Did a major laying in of supplies this morning/afternoon.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:07:21 PM EDT] <KK> Bynw knoqa., ;-)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:07:33 PM EDT] <KK> knows
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:07:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That would be cool if we could =o)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:08:27 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Had to go feed dogs
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:08:30 PM EDT] <KK> I've been seeing some incredible concerts on Zoom, sometimes with 200-30 vocalists. Amazing.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:08:56 PM EDT] <KK> 20-23. 200 would really be incredible.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:09:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm amazed how musicians can stay so well synchronize when nobody's in the same room
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:09:22 PM EDT] <Bee> Someone told me about a group of Dutch singers performing Ode to Joy.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:09:31 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Musicians are expert at timing
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:09:45 PM EDT] <KK> Yes. And considering that a simple phonecall across several time zones can have a lag that is really annoying.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:09:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well yes. But it can't be easy.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:09:57 PM EDT] <bynw> yes KK we can do a zoom session. it would be limited to about 40 minutes of time though
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:10:17 PM EDT] <bynw> with more than 3 people on it since i only have a free license for it
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:10:33 PM EDT] <KK> That would be worth doing, if it isn't too difficult, and if Bynw can teach folk how to get in.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:10:40 PM EDT] <bynw> but there is another option besides zoom
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:10:49 PM EDT] <KK> Yes?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:11:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'd never done zoom before a month ago, now my family does weekly meetings
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:11:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Even with the free version, when it kicks people out after 40 minutes, you can just sign back into the Zoom meeting. I found that out from a friend.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:11:44 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> What is the other option, bynw
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:11:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> If my technologically resistant mother can host a zoom meeting, you know it has to be pretty easy.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:11:55 PM EDT] <bynw> but there is no virtual background feature in the one one. i use it for an online table top gaming with some friends. no time limites and no user limits
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:12:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Roll20?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:12:33 PM EDT] <KK> Incentive to finish tidying my office.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:12:33 PM EDT] <bynw> no that's the table top, this is just for video chat
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:12:35 PM EDT] <Bee> Do we really need a virtual background?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:12:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, okay.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:13:01 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> You definitely do not want to see my office!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:13:04 PM EDT] <bynw> no Bee. they are just fun
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:13:33 PM EDT] <Bee> or my apartment. My housekeeper has been out sick for two weeks.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:13:55 PM EDT] <KK> Not with Covid-19, I hope!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:14:09 PM EDT] <Bee> a bad cold, AFAIK
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:14:47 PM EDT] <KK> Is she sure that's all it is?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:14:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi everyone. I am sewing masks also. Again no one seems to know I am here. Should I go back to mibbit?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:14:58 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, DFK

[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:15:49 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi DFK
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:16:02 PM EDT] <KK> You're not showing up in the list to the right side of the screen, but we can see you when you comment, DFK.

[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:16:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Do you see us, DFK
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:16:23 PM EDT] <bynw> and DesertRose please remove the link i'm about to drop from the log before it gets posted too.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:16:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Yes i see you

[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:17:19 PM EDT] <Bee> Eris is letting us see Shiral and DFK
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:17:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> puts out a pot of tea and a plate of shortbread cookies
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:17:56 PM EDT] <KK> My list just has Eris, but no differentiation for Shiral and DFK.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:18:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Oooohh. tea and shortbread. Yummy
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:18:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> pats self down. Well I am pretty sure I'm here....
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:18:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:18:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:18:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:18:45 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> We had a change if work times due to CVOD19. Now We work 8:30 to 5 on Sat & 8:30 to 6 on weekdays, so I'm sshort a few hours a week.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:18:51 PM EDT] <KK> Wee can see your comments, but I, at least, can't see you on the list to the right.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:18:53 PM EDT] * Bee adds cider (hard or sweet) and manchet bread with honey and clotted cream.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:18:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> adds still warm oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:19:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yummy food!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:19:22 PM EDT] <bynw> the list wont show who is on the other side of the bridge (eris)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:19:28 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:19:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi Bee
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:19:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Come to the Eris side--I literally have the cookies
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:19:43 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:19:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Was there but now gone again
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:20:02 PM EDT] <bynw> so here's that link. [link removed by request] <--- link to an active video chat with me
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:20:08 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, technology. Ya gotta love it!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:20:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Sort of
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:20:17 PM EDT] <bynw> please make sure that link gets removed from the log DesertRose
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:00 PM EDT] <Bee> I just got a "can't reach this page" message when I clicked on the link.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:16 PM EDT] <bynw> ooops typo
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> if you click on link it says site can't be reached. I think Feyd has been messing with our forum
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:32 PM EDT] <KK> I'm also getting a "server not found."
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Yes, that would be Feyd
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:34 PM EDT] <bynw> [link removed by request] .... corrected
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:34 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Mine said loading but probably can't since I have no camera
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:43 PM EDT] <bynw> there is the correct link
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:53 PM EDT] <Bee> Who what is Feyd?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Back again. Getting whiplash
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:21:58 PM EDT] <bynw> typed too fast
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:22:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Part of our long-lasting story, Bee
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:22:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> A wicked character in our game
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:22:46 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> VERY GOOD long lasting story
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:22:58 PM EDT] <bynw> bee is joining with no audio
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:23:03 PM EDT] <bynw> do you have a microphone bee?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:23:06 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Aw, he's not ALL wicked.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:23:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Though he has a soft spot for kittens
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:23:35 PM EDT] <Bee> only the one that's built into my computer.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:23:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hopefully not exploding kittens
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:23:38 PM EDT] <bynw> join with computer audio
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:23:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> what part of him is not wickeds?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:24:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Um, I'll get back to you on that
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:24:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> He is basically a medieval hitman, but very high class
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:24:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Will do, bynw
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:24:51 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I can see but not hear or be seen
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:25:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> That sounds like a riddle
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:25:12 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> He's sort of like The Equalizer
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:25:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I don't hear, just read
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:25:34 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> But less benign
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:26:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> He is as comforting as bee stings on a spring day
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:26:17 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I can see bynw and KK
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:26:17 PM EDT] <bynw> enable computer audio
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:26:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Like that, Jerusha!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:27:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> How do you do that?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:27:07 PM EDT] <KK> OK, we have a few bugs to work out, but Bynw and Bee and I managed to get into the same Zoom meeting.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:27:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Cool
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:27:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I HAVE Zoom, I just need the info to get into a particular meeting
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:27:49 PM EDT] <bynw> but i can still easily setup a zoom meeting
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:28:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Would Skype work?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:28:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I have been in one zoom meeting but they gave me a link and the info to sign in
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:28:40 PM EDT] <bynw> i think skype took away conference ability a long time ago when microsoft acquired it
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:28:41 PM EDT] <Bee> Is anyone here getting that terrible weather I've been hearing about? hail and tormados
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:28:43 PM EDT] <KK> I used to use skype occasionally, but I've forgotten how.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:05 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> The weather missed us. Got E Texas, tho
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Let's see if we can set up a Zoom meeting
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:17 PM EDT] <KK> At least you're safe.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Nope, been a beautiful day here but rain moving in tonight
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Glad you're okay, Hound Mistress
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:38 PM EDT] <bynw> maybe we could have a zoom chat once a month
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Snow...
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:46 PM EDT] <KK> That would be cool.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Glad it missed you houndmistress
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:55 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Thanks! We had .04 " of rain, just barely wet
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:29:57 PM EDT] <KK> Snow is also cool. ;-0
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:30:04 PM EDT] <Bee> We had more snow yesterday than we had all winter.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:30:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Yes, snow is cool 🙂
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:30:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It would be neat to see everyone as well as hear everyone
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:30:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, I would need a headsup about a video/voice chat, because I mostly use my desktop, but it doesn't have a camera.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:30:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> You had April snow Jerusha?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:30:42 PM EDT] <KK> It's squirrely. Lots of areas are getting snow, and this late. We didn't get much this winter.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:30:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My laptop has a camera, but I need to know I need to come in that way, LOL.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:31:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> We always have April snow. April is the longest month of winter
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:31:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I bet bynw has had some snow lately
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:31:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> wow!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:31:22 PM EDT] <KK> I'd guess that he has.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:31:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We've had cool weather and some rain. Makes it easier to stay home when it's wet and cold, out
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:31:50 PM EDT] <KK> But we're getting awfully close to May. Snow in May?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:31:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Maybe we could freeze the virus
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:32:04 PM EDT] <Bee> I used to have a camera eye, but I don't see it now.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:32:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Yes, snow in May is a possibility here
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:32:31 PM EDT] <KK> That would be good., to freeze the virus. Or something to get rid of it.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:32:50 PM EDT] <bynw> got some last week but its all gone
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:32:54 PM EDT] <Bee> Vermont has had snow in August.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:33:05 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Really? Wow!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:33:24 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It' 90 here
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:33:34 PM EDT] <KK> Scott once told me about a snowstorm in July in Montana. TOok a lo0t of people by surprise.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:33:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> We've had snow in July. DH was cursing loudly
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:33:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, not far from that here. 84 F/29 C.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:33:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I would think so, don't blame him
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:34:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Where are you, Jerusha?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:34:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Northern Ontario, Canada
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:34:15 PM EDT] <KK> I think it maybe got close to 60 here today.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:34:17 PM EDT] <Bee> long time ago. Not sure if global warming has changed that. My younger sister reported it when she had a summer job in Vermont.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:34:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, you ARE up north
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:34:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Yep. The moose are out on the roads not
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:34:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Now, I meant
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:34:50 PM EDT] <KK> Our last snow was late January.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:35:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hey, Jerusha, how far are you from Timmins? A friend of mine who used to live in Toronto took a job up there recently.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:35:10 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Don't want to hit a moose
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:35:41 PM EDT] <KK> Worse than hitting a deer, I'd guess, and deer are hard enough on a car, not to mention the deer.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:35:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> South of Timmins. by maybe and hour or so
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:35:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cool!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:35:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Moose can walk away from a moose-car collision.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:36:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Moose are bigger than deer, generally
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:36:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Don't want to hit a moose. Really don't want to hit a bear
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:36:30 PM EDT] <KK> Deer also can survive, though probably injured. Cars, not so much.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:36:41 PM EDT] <KK> Don't want to hit anything alive.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:36:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Definitely not
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:36:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I don't want to hit anything, but we are cursed with suicidal squirrels
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:37:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Moose are huge
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:37:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, one of my cousins lost her first car to a deer, and my kid lost a car that way too.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:37:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But especially not something bigger than me with sharp teeth and claws
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:37:21 PM EDT] <Bee> I saw a rabbit that had been hit by a car.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:37:22 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Me, neither. Came all around hitting one once but he made it off the road without getting hit
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:37:42 PM EDT] <KK> Lucky here, so far.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:37:48 PM EDT] * DesertRose will neither confirm nor deny that she'll swerve to avoid hitting a squirrel or bird or other critter in the road, if she can swerve without hitting anything/anyone else.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:38:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Me too
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:38:10 PM EDT] <KK> I hear ya, DR.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:38:12 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Squirrels have a deathwish
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:38:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My sister's late Honda Station Wagon was totaled when she had a surprise encounter with a deer
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:38:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> but squirrels will stop in the middle of the road and just sit and dare you to hit them
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:38:42 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They almost just appear in front of you
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:38:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, Cousin and Pod-Child were, respectively, driving down heavily forested roads and deer jumped in front of their cars.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:39:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> And squirrels will run down the road in front of you!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:39:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Small brains.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:39:24 PM EDT] <KK> They're very poor at physics.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:39:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Or no sense of direction
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:39:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Too many fermented berries
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:39:44 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> LOL!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:40:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It's true, you never see squirrel physicists
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:40:05 PM EDT] <Bee> I recently got a postcard congratulating me on my excellent driving record. I don't have a driver's license. X-P
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:40:08 PM EDT] <KK> That's a little later in the season, I think. My dogwoods did come into bloom in this past week. They're blooming all over town.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:40:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Wow! Bee!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:40:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Well that should give you an excellent driving record
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:40:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> [link removed for privacy]
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:40:45 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> From an insurance co?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:41:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I love it up there when the rhodedendrons bloom
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:41:21 PM EDT] <KK> From a scammer of some sort, I'd guess.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:41:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It's so strange....traffic is down to near nothing around here. Yet when I'm listening to the radio, I can still hear accident reports on NPR. I keep wondering "what's out there for people to HIT???
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:41:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No accidents, no tickets, no nuthin'. (Re Bee's driving record.)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:41:40 PM EDT] <Bee> I called the company, nd they promised to take me off their list.. They had me as "[name redacted for privacy]" for some reason.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:41:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Her driving record is SO clean, you can't even see it, =o)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:41:59 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Ah, just a mistake then.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:42:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh dear; I read that as alien [name redacted for privacy]!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:42:24 PM EDT] <KK> Sometimes computers are very dumb.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:42:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> ARE you an alien, Bee?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:42:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> You should have told them that your record is so clean that they owe you money
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:42:37 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I saw a wreck recently on 45 where there were only 2 cars and they managed to wreck
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:42:40 PM EDT] <Bee> I called the company, nd they promised to take me off their list.. They had me as "[name redacted for privacy]" for some reason.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:43:26 PM EDT] <Bee> I often feel very alienated from the rest of the world.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:43:33 PM EDT] <KK> On the motorway between Dublin and the airport, there's an exit that says Allen Dr. I used to read it as Alien.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:44:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> That's the exit for the spaceships
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:44:16 PM EDT] <Bee> There's an old story about when there were only two cars in some state. They crashed.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:44:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You know what's kicking my butt the worst about stay-at-home? (Besides no going to the pool.) I NEED to see my optometrist.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:44:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Where the extraterrestrials go to live...
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:44:31 PM EDT] <KK> Probably. Or else it's a portal to Area 51.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:45:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Or it's in another dimension
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:45:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or it's how people get to the world of the Federation and Starfleet. =o)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:45:32 PM EDT] <KK> DR, until Friday, the thing I was missing most, oddly enough, was going to physio--because it made me feel better, even though I've always hated exercising.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:45:39 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Lou is picking his drive-thru of choice for dinner, Oh, he wants Sonic
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:45:40 PM EDT] <Bee> There is or was a sign in Boston: Route xx No End.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:45:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Tthat exit
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:46:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I hear you, DR. I'm having to use my "extra" pair of glasses because my primary pair has pulled a comprehensive disappearing act
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:46:32 PM EDT] <KK> They <still> haven't shown up?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:46:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Nope.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:46:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Take that exit!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:46:50 PM EDT] <KK> You need to interrogate the cats.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:46:50 PM EDT] <Bee> bummer!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:47:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Drive thru is a half hour away. Cold by the time it gets home
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:47:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I just need a new prescription. My prescription used to change every eighteen months, but here in the last few years, it's been every year, and it is time. My eyes and my head are saying a lot of words my mama never taught me.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:47:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well yes, but I haven't seen either of them wearing the glasses!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:47:24 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I got to pet the 5 wk old kitten my neighbor rescued. He's so cute!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:47:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Aw, baby kitteh!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:47:42 PM EDT] <KK> They've simply hidden them, for some feline reason.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:47:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Aww
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:47:42 PM EDT] <Bee> Aww!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:47:47 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> He's still on a bottle bcz he's so small still.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:47:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Wonder what the puppies are up to
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:48:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> OR I've adopted a pair of furry aliens
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:48:13 PM EDT] <KK> Love kittens, though I doubt I'll have one again.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:48:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> They are using them to take over the world
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:48:15 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Puppy-ing
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:48:16 PM EDT] <Bee> Do they know what happened to his mother?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:48:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Kittens are adorable. They are also made of energy and chaos.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:48:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> True
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:49:09 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> His mama left him. There were 5 kittens and she just left him in the rain and cold. I guess she thought he would not be strong enough to survive
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:49:27 PM EDT] * bynw likes kittens too but his current cat wouldn't be a good match for a kitten
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:49:28 PM EDT] <KK> Our local SPCA has had ALL its cats and dogs adopted out. Shelter is empty!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:49:44 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They waited 3 hrs for her to come back & she never did
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:49:53 PM EDT] Join duck (7c94f532@owirc-khp3ee.mibbit.com) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:06 PM EDT] <Bee> Aanimals do that. They save thestrongest. not sentimental like us humans
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> That's happening in a lot of places I hear. YAY!!!!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:09 PM EDT] <KK> Is that our Aussie duck?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:22 PM EDT] <duck> hey Katherine
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I saw there was a duck!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:35 PM EDT] <KK> It is! Long time, and all that.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral>
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:43 PM EDT] <Bee> g'day DUCK!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Welcome. Duck
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:53 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's very early in the morning there, ay Duck?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello, Duck
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:50:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Duck! Hiya!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:51:23 PM EDT] <duck> very longtime - chat coincides with going to work except i'm WFH atm
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:51:32 PM EDT] <KK> Stay-at-home must be getting to you, duck. We haven't seen you in ages.. Who're things where you are?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:51:40 PM EDT] <Bee> Were you anywhere near the fires, Duck?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:51:54 PM EDT] <KK> How're
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:52:57 PM EDT] <bynw> hey Duck!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:53:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I think the fires are mostly out.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:53:13 PM EDT] <duck> fortunately i was not too near any of the fires but they were in every state bad ones a couple of hundred miles south of me which probably destroyed an entire ecosystem that my father had been taking me and my brothers to see since we were very small
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:53:23 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Lou is trying to lure me into the LR with Sci-Fi
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:53:27 PM EDT] <KK> So, what were you doing before the coronavirus shut everything down?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:53:57 PM EDT] <KK> And Sonic, houndmistress?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:54:09 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's odd to have the whole world shut down (mostly)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:54:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Has the virus invaded down under?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:54:26 PM EDT] <duck> i misheard my line manager - i thought she said i was in a sensual job but it turned out she meant essential
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:54:27 PM EDT] <KK> Indeed. We've been luck where I am, so far.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:54:37 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yeah KK, he wants the chilly cheese hotdogs. He gets a craving for them.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:54:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Sorry to hear about the ecosystem, Duck ☹️
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:54:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh dear, Duck
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:55:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> the Koala's lost most of their system, I think
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:55:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That could.....lead to awkward situations
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:55:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> That is a sad loss Duck
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:55:19 PM EDT] <duck> i have been working for the government for the past almost five years- the archaeology gig dried up alas
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:55:34 PM EDT] <KK> So sad re the koalas. And the roos, too.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:55:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> One must eat, alas
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:56:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Archeology digÉ
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:56:00 PM EDT] <KK> What are/were you doing for the government?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:56:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> That was supposed to be "dig?"
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:56:46 PM EDT] <Bee> I hope people wake up to climate change while the Earth is still livable.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:57:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Archaeology dig gig?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:58:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Did you notice the rtemendous drop in pollution after the humans were quaranteened?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:58:24 PM EDT] <Bee> Yes!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:58:32 PM EDT] <duck> i was working for the equivalent of the department of social security but i switched to another agency that is a review tribunal
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:58:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Lou was watching the end of some movie with Zombies & 1930's caberet.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:58:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys has decided I should type less and pet more.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:58:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Suppose people will learn anything from it?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:01 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> He's sending me to Sonic, promising me a movie I like so, catch y'all next week.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:01 PM EDT] * Bee scritches Carys.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:18 PM EDT] <duck> those pictures of air pollution or rather not air pollution are quite incredible
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Later, HoundMistress! Drive safely!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:23 PM EDT] <KK> See you next week.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Nighters, Houndmistress
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:24 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Bye y'all
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:24 PM EDT] <bynw> night HoundMistress
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Bye, HoundMistress
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or yesterday, when she decided I should sew less and pet more. [link redacted because hosting site places NSFW ads]
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:43 PM EDT] <Bee> nighters, Mistress of Hounds
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> nITE HOUNDMISTRESS
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [7:59:56 PM EDT] Quit HoundMistress (HoundMistr@owirc-qior2n.res.rr.com) has left this server (Quit: Connection closed).
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:00:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Cute Carys
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:00:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Carys looks like she's laying down the law, all right
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:00:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Mistress of all she surveys
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:00:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It took me almost an hour to make one mask on Friday evening
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:00:45 PM EDT] <KK> Your sewing machine looks a LOT like mine, except mine is a Kenmore. But Singer might have made it and rebranded it, I suppose.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:00:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> With or without cat fur
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:00:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Had to undo a lot because I needed longer elastic pieces
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:01:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. She had been napping near the window, and then walked across to the sewing machine and planted herself on me.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:01:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm not sure. I *think* Singer is still in business making sewing machines.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:01:34 PM EDT] <KK> A friend gave me one she made, and the elastics are way too short. I must rectify this.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:01:51 PM EDT] <Bee> What's Carys doing on a "Live Sex" site?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:01:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That being said, mine is older than I am. It's a late 1960's model, and the upside is, it's almost all steel, which means it's tough.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:01:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> WHAT?!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:02:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My sister has a 60+ year old singer that my father gave my mother when they were newly married. Machine is still going strong.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:02:15 PM EDT] <duck> singers at least the older ones last forver
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:02:30 PM EDT] <KK> Mine is from the late 70's, and also weights a ton. It's even in a cabinet.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:02:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That machine produced a lot of clothes and a lot of Halloween costumes for me and my siblings
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:02:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mom bought it used in the late 1970's when I was a little DesertRosebud, and then when she bought a new machine (which is a Kenmore, LOL, KK), she gave me the old one.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:02:56 PM EDT] <Bee> There are pics of unclothed women on the same page as Carysm DR.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:03:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That should not be the case.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:03:15 PM EDT] <KK> My machine sewed many an SCA outfit, and also my wedding gown.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:03:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> On the same page or in another window, Bee?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:04:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> i think Singer did make machines for Sears, rebranded as Kenmore
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:04:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I bought a sewing machine about six years ago from a quilt shop la mile or two down the road from me. I left the house that day with NO plan to buy a sewing machine. But it's been a very good investment
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:04:26 PM EDT] <Bee> same page, looks like with announcement "FREE LIVE SEX HERE"
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:04:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Damn it. The hosting site has gone to advertising and I didn't know. I'm sorry.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:04:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh dear
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:05:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Oh my
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:05:13 PM EDT] <KK> There <is> a live sex button at the top right.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:05:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> I don't think I want to press it
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:05:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Where did you guys go?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:05:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, when I clicked through, it did that on my screen too, but when I copied the link, it was just Carys. I'm sorry.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:06:13 PM EDT] <Bee> Carys seems quite unperturbed by it all.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:06:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Does Carys do strip tease>
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:06:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Cats may have secret lives, but....wow. =o)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:06:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Right!? o.O
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:06:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> It could be mating guppies....
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:07:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys would like that, at least.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:07:56 PM EDT] <Bee> If she didn't try to eat the guppies.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:08:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I guess I'll be editing quite a bit of this chat log.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:08:17 PM EDT] <KK> LOL, I guess so!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:08:25 PM EDT] <bynw> have to find someplace else for your pics
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:09:07 PM EDT] <Bee> don't want newcomers to get the wrong idea! X)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:09:43 PM EDT] <KK> No, indeed.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:10:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> No, we live upright lives. Duncan would be so shocked...
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:10:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Alaric might be snickering....
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:10:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Alaric, on the other hand...
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:10:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or humming loudly while Duncan gives him stern looks
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:11:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> And what would Richenda say? Or not say....
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:12:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> He might have a lot of explaining to do, then confession and penance. Wonder what penance Duncan would impose
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:13:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> What happens in Coroth, stays in Coroth
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:13:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:13:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> How's this? https://imgur.com/E8bt1HR
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:13:31 PM EDT] <KK> Only if he visited said site. Simply noticing it would not be a sin.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:13:58 PM EDT] <Bee> Carys's innocence is restored.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:14:00 PM EDT] <KK> Much better.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:14:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Still a cute kitty
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:14:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Angels are singing and Carys is wreathed in golden light....
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:14:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:14:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Sort of. =o)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:15:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Have you asked if if she wants a little mask all her own?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:15:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> There's a cat rescue organization around here called Cats' Angels.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:16:13 PM EDT] <KK> Ears wouldn't work well. It would have to tie behind head, and I doubt she would put up with it.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:16:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I shudder to think of trying to put it on her fuzzy face. She thinks the broom and dusters are cat toys as it is.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:16:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I don't think ANY cat would understand....or approve!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:16:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> You mean they're not? LOL
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:16:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I could photoshop one onto her face, but I think that's as good as it'd get.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:17:06 PM EDT] <bynw> cats think everything is a cat toy
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:17:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Photoshop is probably the best option, yes
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:17:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, some of them are, DFK, but I think the rescue group means that they, by rescuing cats, are the cats' guardian angels.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:17:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Photoshop is probably the ONLY option
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:18:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> ROFL, that's about it, DFK!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:18:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Unless you want to get bitten or scratched, yes
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:18:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've never even put a collar on her.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:18:29 PM EDT] <KK> There's a facebook page called Clergy with Cats, where a lot of the cats whose people are ministers post comments. A fun page to visit and join. There's also a page for orange cat Both are worth visits.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:18:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And come to think, she wasn't in the Cone when I brought her home, newly spayed.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:18:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, I bet that's cute, KK!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:19:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> In the Cone....does not necessarily equal being "in the zone."
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:19:40 PM EDT] <KK> Have a look. The pages for Revanne and Demercia are also worth a visit, for entirely different reasons. I know Bynw has hung out there a bit.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:20:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Unlike poor Layla, here: https://imgur.com/1YpIK2G
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:20:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral>
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:20:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> What religious ceremony are these cats performing?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:20:37 PM EDT] <Bee> Check out the Imgur image of foxes setting up home in someone's garden.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:20:40 PM EDT] <bynw> I like RevAnne's sermons
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:21:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hissening?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:21:24 PM EDT] <KK> Protecting and comforting their pastors, of course. And yes, revanne does preach great sermons. Demercia, too.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:21:26 PM EDT] <duck> i've a couple of pictures of cats wearing yarmulkes - my stepdaughter liked to put them on them
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:21:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I hope they're properly warded!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:21:47 PM EDT] * DesertRose adjusts her halo, because she totally didn't just run through the sacraments, looking for one that could be catted.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:22:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> What are their web addresses?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:22:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Revanne's church: https://www.facebook.com/groups/118641718760414/
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:22:48 PM EDT] <KK> The clergy cats sit on laps (and keyboards) and "help" their people write sermons. And other asssorted services.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:23:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And Demercia's: https://www.facebook.com/Parish-Church-Ellesmere-113515246952829/
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:23:28 PM EDT] <bynw> the clergy cats probably remind the clergy that they know about these things since they were once worshiped themselves
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:23:46 PM EDT] <KK> Her evening prayers are also very good. Only 10 minutes or so, but good thoughts.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:23:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> And are still worshipped
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:23:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Clergy cats do what any cats do: snoopervise.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:24:54 PM EDT] <duck> In Dog we trust?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:25:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Yep!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:25:24 PM EDT] <Bee> not if you're a cat
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:25:40 PM EDT] <KK> Is Laurna here, or just her screen name? We need a puppy report.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:25:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Dogs drool, cats rule?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:26:17 PM EDT] <bynw> i think she's away and just signed into chat. she's like me alot and just stays in the chat all the time
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:26:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Have not seen anything from her. Iknow her father was having some problems
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:26:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> I predict the puppies are VERY cute
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:27:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> And very busy
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:27:30 PM EDT] <Bee> ?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:27:31 PM EDT] <KK> We saw pictures last week. Their eyes are open now, and they're crawling around.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:27:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> And by now, mom is going "Why me?"
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:27:55 PM EDT] <Bee> Laurna's dad?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:28:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I think he was having health issues.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:29:15 PM EDT] <Bee>
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:29:17 PM EDT] <KK> Doesn't she call him on Sunday evenings?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:29:28 PM EDT] <bynw> we need more puppy pictures from Laurna
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:29:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> That's me calling my Dad, I think
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:29:37 PM EDT] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:29:47 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, right.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:29:56 PM EDT] <KK> How's your dad, Jerusha?
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:30:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> He is doing well for 101 years young. He had no idea about COVID 19, which maybe is just as well
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:30:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I predict the puppies are also larger than they were at the last report. =o)
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:31:01 PM EDT] <KK> 101, wow! Then you've got good longevity genes.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:31:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hopefully so.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:31:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Though his short term memory is really bad now
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:32:35 PM EDT] <KK> My mom was having that the last few years of her life, until she died at 94.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:33:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> His sister is 99. She has a walker, but is sharp as a tack
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:33:52 PM EDT] <KK> Wow, definitely good genes!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:34:17 PM EDT] <bynw> my dad and most of his siblings have all survived into their 80s. my dad was like 82 when he passed away 3 years ago. my mom only made it to 63 because of cancer
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:34:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My grandmother was very much in possession of her faculties until she died at 93.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:34:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't know that anyone in my family has made it to that age.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:34:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My paternal great-grandmother made 90, my mom's aunt is in her early 90s if she's still living, and nobody else made it past 80.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:35:17 PM EDT] <Bee> Mom was 98 when she died. My great-aunt was 99.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:35:28 PM EDT] <KK> Again, good genes.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:35:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Truly. Jerusha, I foresee a long retirement.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:36:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> I hope so.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:36:06 PM EDT] <Bee> great-aunt on dad's side
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:36:45 PM EDT] <KK> I think I'm going to check out now. My tummy is telling me it's time to feed it. See you all next week, God willing.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:36:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Although my paternal aunt looks like she very well might see the other side of 80. She'll be 78 in August.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:36:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Thanks for coming, KK
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:37:02 PM EDT] <Bee> She died of a heart attack brought on by a temper-tantrum.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:37:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, thanks for coming to see us, KK! Have a good week, and stay safe!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:37:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Good to see everyone this week
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:37:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Nighters KK. Stay well
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:37:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Stay well and safe!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:37:21 PM EDT] <bynw> night KK thanks for coming!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:37:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Nite KK. Stay safe and have agreat week
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:37:31 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:37:48 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters, and stay healthy, all!
[Sunday, April 19, 2020] [8:38:03 PM EDT] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client).
