[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:01:20 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:01:59 PM EDT] <KK> Third time is the charm. I tried to get in on MIRC and Deryni Destinations chat, but kept getting the 404 error message. Fortunately, I had mibbit to fall back on.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:02:38 PM EDT] <KK> And they all look slightly different.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:03:13 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, bynw.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:04:11 PM EDT] <bynw> the mibbit and kiwi chat links work off the forum

[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:04:36 PM EDT] <Matt> Hello
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:04:50 PM EDT] <KK> Well, at least I finally got in.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:04:56 PM EDT] <bynw> hi matt
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:05:05 PM EDT] <Matt> Hi KK
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:05:12 PM EDT] <Matt> Hi bynw
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:05:14 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Matt.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:05:35 PM EDT] Join Bee (Bee@owirc-1uv.arb.61.73.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:05:42 PM EDT] <Matt> Hi Bee
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:05:53 PM EDT] <KK> So, what's up with you guys? Hi, Bee.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:05:59 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi everyone!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:06:02 PM EDT] <Matt> Not much
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:06:07 PM EDT] <Matt> Eating lunch
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:06:32 PM EDT] <KK> Lunch? Or do you mean dinenr?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:06:42 PM EDT] <Matt> lol. Late lunch
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:06:59 PM EDT] <KK> Very late lunch. Or, where are you located?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:07:09 PM EDT] <Matt> Phoenix
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:07:19 PM EDT] <Matt> Just after 4pm here
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:07:25 PM EDT] <Bee> This was a day to forget. No big problems, just a few minor irritations.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:07:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello everyone
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:07:33 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:07:40 PM EDT] <Matt> Sorry to hear that Bee
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:07:40 PM EDT] <KK> Ah well, then. Understandable.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:08:02 PM EDT] <KK> What happened, Bee?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:08:08 PM EDT] <Matt> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:08:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi KK. Hi everyone
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:08:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Matt, Hi Bee. Some days are like that, Bee
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:08:36 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Shiral.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:09:07 PM EDT] <Bee> I couldn't get into ZOOM for meeting. Then I found some tv programs I recorded didn't show up on my dvr.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:09:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Did a major amount of resupplying my home with necessities this past week. I felt like Pa Ingalls having to drive his wagon miles over the prairie
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:09:18 PM EDT] <KK> How was deck sweeping, Shiral?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:09:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Very satisfying, KK. It looks much neater
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:09:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And my Fitbit was happier with me for stepping around a bit
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:10:29 PM EDT] <Bee> Did you have to fend off attacks by Native Americans?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:10:36 PM EDT] <KK> Fitbits can get very grumpy if you don't move enough.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:10:45 PM EDT] <Bee> on your quest for food?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:11:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well no. I was in boring old Sunnyvale, But I needed to stock up for me, and find some things my mom asked me to find for her, AND the cats were out of food, wet and dry, and litter
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:11:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> But there are ways to fool them I have a friend who sticks her arm out the window while driving and waves it around. Wroks every time
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:11:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> With waiting in line, It took about four different stores and three hours
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:11:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> works
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:12:05 PM EDT] <KK> Yike.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:12:33 PM EDT] <KK> What were they short on?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:12:40 PM EDT] <Bee> Do you drive or take BART, Shiral?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:12:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Got home, unloaded everything, then it was time for my two hour virtual reference shift
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:12:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Wow. Even Pa might get it done faster. He probably wouldn't need to wait in line
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:12:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Drove. BART doesn't come this far south yet
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:13:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Always paper proucts and yeast and flour
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:13:44 PM EDT] <KK> Plus, if you'd tried to do it on public transport, it would have taken at least twice the time.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:13:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> BUT I managed to score some facial tissues
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:13:58 PM EDT] <Bee> I ride my trike, and there's a big detour due to road construction
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:14:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I still have frouble understanding the thing with paper products. Somewhere someone has a lot squirreled away
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:14:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Bart is great, if you're going where it goes. But there's an awful lot of places where it doesn't go
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:14:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> DFK, ME TOO! It's weird. I finally gave in and ordered some yeast online
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:15:13 PM EDT] <KK> And then you'd have to figure out a way to transport all the goodies.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:15:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Been experimenting with making homemade English muffins.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:15:14 PM EDT] <Matt> Is BART for rural transit?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:15:33 PM EDT] <Matt> Homemade English muffins sound amazing
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:15:56 PM EDT] <KK> Bay Area Rapid Transport.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:16:03 PM EDT] <Matt> Ah
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:16:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> BART stands for "Bay Area Rapid Transit. For reasons I cannot remember, we made the tremendous error of NOT extending BART down between SF and San Jose.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:16:18 PM EDT] Nick You are now known as DesertRose.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:16:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I have a friend who has a recipe for an English muffin mloaf which is yummy. you slice it like bread
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:16:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The first foray was.....inconclusive
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:16:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK, Matt, Shiral, Bee, Derynifank and anyone else who's shown up since I went downstairs to retrieve laundry.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:16:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think I need more practice, but I was not wowed, even though I followed the mixing and cooking directions
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:16:55 PM EDT] <Bee> We Have the Mass Bay Transit Authority.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:16:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello DR
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:17:02 PM EDT] <Matt> Hi DesertRose
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:17:19 PM EDT] <KK> I've just bought 2 packs of Thomas English Muffins. I eat them for breakfast with peanut butter and Wild Maine Blueberry Jam, that I got at Costco, back when it was still safe to go there.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:17:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> We have the Tide which is good but doesn't go very far.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:17:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I did a COSTCO run last Sunday. My freezer is STUFFED
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:18:04 PM EDT] <Bee> Has your laundry come clean, DR, or is it still doing a cover-up?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:18:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's clean, LOL.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:18:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But I will say, even though I made myself a cute cloth mask....I HATE wearing masks
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:18:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And if anyone wants to see some truly silly behavior from the Kingdom of Trimaris, I give you a sneak peek: https://www.facebook.com/kaousuu/videos/10157548653153143/
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:18:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> You must have been interrogating it, DR. =o)
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:18:53 PM EDT] <bynw> that sounds tasty (the english muffins)
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:18:53 PM EDT] <Matt> I like real butter on my muffin. When you put margarine on it just sits on it doesn't really melt into the nooks and crannies like real butter does
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:18:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> They are not fun but I have a feeling we'll have to get used to them
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:18:58 PM EDT] * bynw likes english muffins
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:19:15 PM EDT] <Matt> I agree with bynw
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:19:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I LOVE English Muffins. I just need to come up with a recipe I like better
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:19:20 PM EDT] <bynw> i only use real butter for anything with butter
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:19:25 PM EDT] <Bee> DR, I got a Not Available message
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:19:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, you may need to be Facebook friends with the video editor then.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:19:46 PM EDT] <KK> Yep, butter is best.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:19:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It'll be up on YouTube later. I'll post the YouTube link when it's available.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:20:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'd rather die eating butter than live eating margarine--a substance I discover both disgusting and barely edible
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:20:10 PM EDT] <Bee> I like butter and honey on my English muffins.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:20:11 PM EDT] <Matt> Yup
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:20:14 PM EDT] <bynw> amen Shiral
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:20:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I read that margarine isn't good for you because your body doesn't know what to do with it
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:20:44 PM EDT] <Matt> Haven't had honey on my English muffin
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:20:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The most recent research seems to indicate that real butter is better from a cardiological standpoint, as long as you don't drown your food in it.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:20:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I agree with you Shiral
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:21:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The taste and the consistency BOTH turn me off
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:21:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And real butter is FAR better from a flavor (and baking and cooking) standpoint anyway.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:21:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I ONLY bake with butter.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:21:41 PM EDT] <Bee> I probably use to much butter; I have a high cholesterol problem.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:22:02 PM EDT] <Matt> Me too Bee
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:22:13 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Wow, I get a little dinner and then check back here and everyone showed up.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:22:24 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi TD!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:22:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> snaps fingers and produces scones, clotted cream and jam and as always, the magic tea pot that pours whatever tea you love most
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:22:33 PM EDT] <Matt> Hi TheDeryni
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:22:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi TD
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:22:37 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> So, hi everyone!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:22:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi The Deryni
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:23:02 PM EDT] * DesertRose adds lasagna to the savory table.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:23:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> love that magic teapot. Hot tea makes everything better
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:23:12 PM EDT] <Matt> I love lasagna
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:23:25 PM EDT] * Bee adds cider, hard or soft--your choice.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:23:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> then realizes we need plates, cups and saucers and utensils and adds them.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:24:37 PM EDT] * Bee adds napkins.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:24:40 PM EDT] <Matt> They are the magical kind that are self cleaning and automatically go back to their places in the cabinets
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:24:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> One nice thing about being at home--I really enjoy cooking dinner for myself. Before the Shelter in Place, I was out at least three and sometimes four nights a week. I miss seeing my friends, but I really enjoy that part.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:24:44 PM EDT] * DesertRose also adds sliced sourdough bread to the table.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:24:47 PM EDT] <Matt> Lol
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:25:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I know KK isn't a sourdough fan, but I just baked it yesterday afternoon.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:25:25 PM EDT] <Matt> Can we add some King's Hawaiin to the table too
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:25:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The food in there doesn't leave a mess, either. =o)
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:25:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sure.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:25:41 PM EDT] <Matt> Awesome
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:25:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, unlike RL lasagna, Shiral.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:25:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Quite, DR. =o)
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:26:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Makes a mess to cook AND to eat, LOL, but it's such a yummy mess.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:26:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I love lasgagna, but it's something I just don't make for myself since there are so many messy components
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:26:38 PM EDT] <Bee> I miss dining out. I have large collection of restaurant discount coupons, but I'm not sure they're okay for delivery.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:26:45 PM EDT] <KK> I've been trying the Freshly meals you have have seen advertising for, on YouTube. Some are very good, some rather meh. I may or may not continue getting them. Better than most of the readimeals you find in the supermarket, though.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:26:47 PM EDT] <Matt> True. We usually get the Stouffer's brand
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:26:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But yesterday I did indulge in a small container of Lasagna
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:26:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't make it often for the same reason, but the nice thing about making it as a single person is that it can be frozen for later.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:27:37 PM EDT] <Bee> I get five meals a week delivered, thanks to Senior Services.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:27:57 PM EDT] <Matt> Btw...we just had our first 100° day of the year today
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I froze 9 of the 12 servings the last pan made, and I probably still have five or six of them in the freezer.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I need to get some stuff in my freezer eaten before I try to add more to it
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:24 PM EDT] <Bee> YIke, Matt! Where are you?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:32 PM EDT] <Matt> Phoenix, AZ
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Been warm where I am too this past week
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:36 PM EDT] <KK> Wow! That's really hot, Matt. How do you survive that, all summer?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, there you go!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:49 PM EDT] <Matt> Not without AC lol
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:57 PM EDT] <Matt> It's essential
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:57 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> A/C
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:28:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You stay indoors. You go in the pool if you have one. Swamp cooling, too.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:29:09 PM EDT] <Bee> rainy week ahead for me. maybe even snow.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:29:10 PM EDT] <KK> It's still in the 50-60 range here, with rain the past few days.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:29:28 PM EDT] <Matt> We had a community pool but our HOA filled it in
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:29:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My Neighborhood pool is closed due to COVID-19. I don't spent a lot of time in it, but....when the weather is really hot it does help.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Thick adobe walls keep interiors surprisingly cool. Thai's why the spanish used it
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:00 PM EDT] <KK> Why? Didn't the owners want to pay for maintenance?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:07 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> 44° here
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:10 PM EDT] <Matt> It's a huge litter box now for the stray cats
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:10 PM EDT] Join Dennis (4160adc5@owirc-khp3ee.mibbit.com) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> When I was a kid, I used to go to the public one if I couldn't nag my bio-father to take me to his employer's recreation center, which had, IMO, a better pool.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Dennis
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:28 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Dennis
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:33 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Dennis.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:35 PM EDT] <Matt> Hi Dennis
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:40 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Dennis
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Dennis
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:30:53 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi Dennis
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:31:00 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hi, Dennis
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:31:06 PM EDT] <Dennis> How is everyone?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:31:18 PM EDT] <Matt> Hanging in there
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:31:29 PM EDT] <Bee> pretty good, all things considered.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:32:02 PM EDT] <KK> Commenting on the weather, and on challenges caused by the lock-down.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:32:09 PM EDT] <Bee> My apartment is an unholy mess.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:32:35 PM EDT] <Dennis> Weather is awful here. Cat is confused by our constant presence.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:33:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup. Dmitri says he likes having me around and all, but he needs his personal space...
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:33:22 PM EDT] <Dennis> Heh. Missy just goes and hides in the other room when she's sick of us.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:33:41 PM EDT] <Bee> Melantha is used to having me around. She's much more talkative than she used to be.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:33:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Hopefully you can get your apartment back in order soon @The Bee
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:34:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> When the weather was cold and wet, it was no problem staying home. Feeling more restless now that it's warm and sunny
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:34:48 PM EDT] <Dennis> We've had one nice day in the last week.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:34:53 PM EDT] <Bee> I have a hoouse-cleaner from Senior Services, but she'd been out sick for 2 weeks.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:35:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Our botanical garden is open and a great place to get out, but there seem to be fair number of people who don't understand social distancing
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:35:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> One thing I bought yesterday was a new mop and I attacked my kitchen floor
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:35:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, Carys is used to my more-or-less constant presence, too.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:35:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Did it fight back?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:36:07 PM EDT] <Bee> Staying home isn't a big deal for me. I'm a bit of a hermit even in normal times.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:36:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't even want to think about an attacking kitchen floor!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:36:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Brb.....gonna be afk for a bit
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:36:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I TRY to social distance at the store. But there always seems to be a person who stands in the middle of the aisle, right between me and whatever I'm looking for right then.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think people think I'm being passive-aggressive when I just sit there (in the motorized shopping cart) and wait for them to get whatever they're getting and move so I can get what I'm trying to get.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:31 PM EDT] <Bee> Do the stores have one-way aisles where you shop, Shiral?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes they do now
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I've been ordering groceries online and picking them up. Have to say I like it though of course they never have everyting you want
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:43 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hey, Jerusha
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:43 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi jerusha
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:51 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Jerusha.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:37:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi KK
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:38:09 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:38:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, I'm waiting my turn. I'm legit not trying to be a jerk about it, but pain does some weird things to one's mood and resting facial expression.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:38:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:38:13 PM EDT] <Bee> Melantha is looking at me expectantly.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:38:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> My problem is the one way direction is just the opposite of the way I shop
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:38:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I know. Sometimes, I stand and wait, and HOPE my resting expression isn't one of exaggerated patience.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:39:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sympathy, Shiral.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:39:32 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Or empathy
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:39:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Just glad nobody can see my thought balloons. =o)
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:39:53 PM EDT] <KK> We don't have one-way aisles in the supermarket where I usually shop. Hasn't been too crowded, either, in the two times I've been there since lock-down commenced.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:39:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But apparently closing my eyes because some random muscle just spasmed and hurts must mean I'm mad because I have to wait to get at that bit of shelf or whatever.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:40:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Expletive deleted?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:40:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> There would be a lot of punctuation in my thought bubbles.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:40:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Including random strings upon said muscle spasms.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:40:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> They just feel guilty so they try to put it on you
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:40:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mid-sentence--OW! (*&^%$%^&
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:40:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> More like " PICK a cereal, but please don't stand there all day!"
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:41:15 PM EDT] <Dennis> My thought bubbles are full of the symbols you get when you press shift and mash on the numbers.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:41:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Back
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:41:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Of course, they can only see the top third of my face, now =o)
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:41:40 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> My thought balloons are only filled with 3 letters,unfortunately.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:41:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> "I wonder if they have Carys' kibble in---OW!!! @#$%^^&^%$
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:41:54 PM EDT] <Bee> My favorite supermarket allows only 75 people in at once.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:41:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:42:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> There was a young man in the aisle on Saturday, who was checking all the potato chip ingredients against his iPhone. They're potato chips!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:42:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Anyhow, I shouldn't need to do another shopping trip this week
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:42:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, Aldi's been doing that, only allowing so many people in the store at a time.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:42:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Anyone else's cat like to lay in the empty sink?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:42:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> If you're trying to find the healthiest potato chip, just give in, now!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:42:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys would if she were allowed in the bathroom. She DOES like to drink from the tap, though.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:42:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> When it's hot, yes
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:43:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri has a thing about the shower stall. He's convinced he can find Cat Nirvana in there
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:43:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Just seems like a weird place to lay lol
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:43:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Jerusha, you weren't here yet; the tea table is set, there are scones, butter, jam, honey, and sourdough bread, plus lasagna, in addition to, of course, tea.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:43:52 PM EDT] <KK> When it's hot, I understand why he thinks that.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:43:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Bet it feels cool and smooth
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:44:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's cool; when they're hot, it helps them cool off.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:44:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He also likes to zip into the bottom of my pantry as if he thinks he'll find the door to Narnia, in there
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:44:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> I'll contribute oatmeal chocolate cookies
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:44:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yum!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:44:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He doesn't lie in there, but he's always fascinated when he's allowed to explore it
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:44:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Extra chocolate chips
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:44:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cats ARE weird, JediMatt1000. I can't believe you didn't know that.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:44:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Yes our Bacca likes the pantry foo
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:44:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Tell him it's the wardrobe not the pantry. No wonder he can't find it.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:45:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> lol
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:45:16 PM EDT] <Dennis> Cats is weird.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:45:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He always comes out in a minute or two, looking disappointed
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:46:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I have to keep the butter dish in the dish cupboard to keep it away from little noses and paws
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:46:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> No, I knew they were weird, just kinda thought that cats & water were mortal enemies
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:46:32 PM EDT] <Bee> A while ago, Melantha was demanding that I open the door to the heating system. Cats don't like closed doors.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:46:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> We are having a mouse invasion, again. I wish they didn't want to party
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:46:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> We did have a kitten who let us give him actual baths
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:46:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I don't know why Dmitri loves the shower....I expect it's the lure of the forbidden
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:46:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't have a pantry as such; in my old place, I did, and Carys liked to get in there, but the fact that I stored her food container in there may have had something to do with it.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:47:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> All cat food is stored in the TOP cupboard
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:47:31 PM EDT] <Bee> Melantha tries to sneak nibbles of butter or peanut butter.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:47:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It may be the "don't like closed doors" thing, too, because she likes to get in the cleaning closet here, which door I usually keep closed.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:48:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> O
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:48:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Murray doesn't like people food, only certain kinds of cat food and he' picky about that
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:48:31 PM EDT] <Dennis> Missy is pretty good about leaving her food alone, possibly because the dry food is on top of the fridge.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:48:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I've only bathed one cat in my life--the late Isadora got motor oil on herself, somehow. It was one of the only times she has ever growled at me.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:49:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> In the current place, since I don't have a pantry, the kibble container is on my baker's rack, along with her clean dishes and the little sealed bin of catnip toys, LOL.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:49:38 PM EDT] <Bee> Melantha has a habit of eating half a can of wet food, then leaving the rest to dry up.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Murray is really weird. He actually does not like catnip
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Touch wood, Carys is actually pretty good about not trying to get into the container itself; she's fascinated when I pour the new bag of kibble in, but that's the extent of it, and then I'm more worried that she keep her whiskers away from the scissors I'm using to open the bag than anything else.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:21 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Um, how many cats would be in this room if everyone here brought there cats with them tonight?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> That is weird @derynifank
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have one, I believe Shiral has two.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:37 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> *their cats
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> No cats here
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I have two
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:55 PM EDT] <KK> Currently, one.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:56 PM EDT] <Bee> She's also getting very adept at not taking her medicine.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:50:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Bee has one.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:51:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Tatiana is my Junior Cat
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:51:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I have one plus an outdoor cat that I feed
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:51:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> DS3 is alergic
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:51:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Our dog doesn't like peanut butter
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:51:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Dogs can be weird too
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:51:27 PM EDT] <KK> Never heard of a dog that didn't like peanut butter.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:51:53 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> So.......more cats than people.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:51:56 PM EDT] <Dennis> One.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:52:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Quite possibly, LOL.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:52:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> He acts like it offends him
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:52:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> for sure
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:52:20 PM EDT] <bynw> very odd for a dog not to like PB
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:52:28 PM EDT] <Bee> Melantha is on a low-protein kidney-care diet.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:10 PM EDT] Join Revanne (d5cdf21f@owirc-khp3ee.mibbit.com) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Revanne!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:19 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, Revanne!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi revanne!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri is on a "Whatever you're eating I want some too" eating program
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> Hi Revanne
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Revanne
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:46 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi Revanne! Insomnia strikes again?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:47 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hey there, Revanne!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:48 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, Revanne! Very much enjoying your posts to the St. Benedict facebook page.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:50 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Revanne
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:53:53 PM EDT] <Revanne> Hi everyone
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:54:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, here's the official Trimaris Is Populated By Goofballs video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZTA4u2UJwU
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:54:11 PM EDT] <KK> And loved your dawn service on Easter.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:54:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> They have never come tsrd feeder or a folol proof way to get medicine into cats
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:54:36 PM EDT] <Revanne> Thanks KK
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:55:07 PM EDT] <KK> I've also been visiting at Demercia's site.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:55:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Revanne. I also very much enjoy following you on St Benedict's facebook page
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:55:47 PM EDT] <Matt> Yes I love your group too Revanne
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:55:50 PM EDT] <Revanne> It was lovely to do the dawn service
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:55:52 PM EDT] <KK> You're building a virtual church, Revanne. :-)
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:56:22 PM EDT] <KK> I loved the way the bird chorus built, along with the dawn. Very moving.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:56:29 PM EDT] <Revanne> I'm really a technophobe so a big learning curve.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:56:41 PM EDT] <KK> You're doing very well.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:57:03 PM EDT] <Matt> Well one day you may get to be a techexpert Revanne
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:57:31 PM EDT] <Revanne> Don't think so Matt!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:58:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> You're doing great. I loved St George and the dragon.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:58:23 PM EDT] <Revanne> Its lovely to hear the bird song - normally it has to compete with the nouse from the motorway
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:58:24 PM EDT] <Bee> Love the Trimaris video, DR>
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:58:29 PM EDT] <KK> And the rainbow flames for the dragon.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:58:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> You are very creative
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:59:09 PM EDT] <KK> I'll bet the children in your parish love you. (And the adults, too.)
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [7:59:51 PM EDT] <Revanne> Thanks - they are a lovely group of people.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:00:31 PM EDT] <Revanne> Sorry to wake up and hijack the conversation.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:00:34 PM EDT] <KK> How long have you been there?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:01:00 PM EDT] <Revanne> 4 years now
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:01:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Wow, that long?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:01:27 PM EDT] <KK> Years well spent, I think.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:01:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've been enjoying the services, too, Revanne. You could narrate the phone book (do they even make phone books any more?) and make it sound lovely.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:01:34 PM EDT] <Revanne> Yep! 2016 we moved.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:02:08 PM EDT] <Bee> Who assigns priest to parishes--the bishop?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:02:25 PM EDT] <KK> Heh, didn't know you had so many Deryni checking on your services, did you? ;-) I think Duncan would be pleased.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:03:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I love Demercia's services too; she has a different way of being equally lovely.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:03:07 PM EDT] * bynw likes the services too
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:03:33 PM EDT] <Revanne> No, you look for something you like the look of and apply. These days you have to compete at interview with other candidates.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:03:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> How long do you stay at any given parish?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:04:07 PM EDT] <Bee> I learned years ago that DJs practiced by reading from the phone book.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:04:44 PM EDT] <Revanne> Thanks KK, I'm honoured at the idea of Duncan's approval. As long as it isn't Loris or Oliver de Nore.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:04:51 PM EDT] <Bee> That sounds alike our method, Revanne.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:05:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Eek! Stick with Duncan!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:05:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or possibly Arilan or Cardiel
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:05:46 PM EDT] * TheDeryni is now intrigued.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:05:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cardiel would be good. He's one of my favorite non-Deryni characters.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:06:01 PM EDT] <Revanne> I would be too tempted to want to tease Arilan.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:06:09 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, I like him too.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:06:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> TheDeryni: here is Revanne's church: https://www.facebook.com/groups/118641718760414/ and here is Demercia's: https://www.facebook.com/Parish-Church-Ellesmere-113515246952829/
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:06:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Just don't take him swimming
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:06:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Good luck with teasing Bishop Arilan!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:06:34 PM EDT] <Dennis> I have trouble imagining Cardiel preaching a sermon. Arilan too.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:06:41 PM EDT] <Bee> or Voldemort
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:06:55 PM EDT] <Dennis> Duncan I can easily picture.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:07:11 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Thanks for that, Dr.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:07:16 PM EDT] <Revanne> Yes, he's a good man is Cardiel. Even if I did kill him off in a fanfic. Sorry KK.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:07:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I could see Cardiel preaching a sermon
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:07:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> I do see Denis in his early days as a parish priest
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:07:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You're welcome, TD. At least Cardiel lived a good long life before you killed him off, Revanne.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:07:45 PM EDT] <KK> Both Revanne and Demercia are excellent preachers. Did you go to the same seminary?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:08:13 PM EDT] <Revanne> No - that would have really freaked everyone out!!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:09:00 PM EDT] <Revanne> I studied part time because I had 3 children still at home which would have made full time impossible.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:09:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <JediMatt1000> I think I'm going to head out. It was lovely chatting with everyone! See you all next week
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:09:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> nite Dennis
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:09:33 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters, JediMatt.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:09:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Nighters, JediMatt
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:09:38 PM EDT] <bynw> night matt
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:09:44 PM EDT] <Revanne> Nite, JediMatt
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:09:49 PM EDT] <Bee> Bye, Jedi matt. Take care a nd have a good week.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:10:01 PM EDT] <KK> Stay healthy!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:10:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> G'night, Matt!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:10:14 PM EDT] <Dennis> Night, Matt!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:10:20 PM EDT] <Revanne> Any update on Laurna's Dad
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:11:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> NIght Matt!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:11:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not since her last post on the forum, no.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:11:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Stay safe
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:11:30 PM EDT] <KK> What was his status then?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:12:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> "Dad is hanging in there. Two weeks ago we had to put him on hospice. They said maybe he had one week. Two weeks later dad is stable and getting stronger. All I can say is that it was respiratory and that he was on high O2 but he is now on lower O2 and he knows where he is at. We are taking this one day at a time." That was posted about 24 hours ago.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:12:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> She said he is improving and getting stronger.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:12:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> All to the good
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:13:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But she lost a dog, a sister to the new puppies but from an earlier litter.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:13:38 PM EDT] <Revanne> Poor Laurna, but good her Dad's a bit better.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:13:59 PM EDT] <KK> Sad about the puppy, but so glad her dad is doing better.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:14:02 PM EDT] <Bee> We recently lost a member of our congregation. She was very active in campaigning for the rights of people with disabilities.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:14:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not needing such a high O2 concentration and knowing where he is and what's going on are definite improvements.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:14:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh no, Bee!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:14:23 PM EDT] <Revanne> Sorry to hear that Bee
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:14:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> So sad Bee
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:15:12 PM EDT] <Bee> Eileen was in a wheelchair. She wore lovely hats and interesting buttons.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:15:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> what kind of buttons
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:16:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hope her dad continues to improve
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:16:22 PM EDT] <Bee> the kind with slogans on them. She'd been very ill post-stroke.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:16:46 PM EDT] <Revanne> We have a lady at hef church who really needs a wheelchair but insists on using her sticks. I tried to persuade her to see the wheelchair as giving her back her mobility but her brother called her lazy and that was that.

[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:17:33 PM EDT] <Revanne> Yep- I had unvicarly thoughts.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:17:42 PM EDT] <bynw-test> pay me no mind. just making sure i got this working at the moment

[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:18:25 PM EDT] <Revanne> Thanks for all your work on the forum this week Bynw
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:18:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Have you read any of the books by Alison Golden about the mystery solving lady vicar?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:18:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Yes, many thanks, @bynw

[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:19:57 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds interesting. I'll also check t hem out.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:20:46 PM EDT] <Bee> Alison Golden is new to me.. I'll try to look her up if the library ever re-opens.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:21:22 PM EDT] <Revanne> I've been listening to some of the Brother Cadfael mysteries again on Audible and really enjoying them but the latest I'mlistening to is narrated by a lady with z posh accent who can't pronounce Compline. Basic research I would have thought.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:21:27 PM EDT] <KK> Check her out on Amazon, Bee. That's quickest. At least will give you some titles and blurbs.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:21:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> If you have amazon she was offering some books free during the lockdown.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:22:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Always loved Brother Cadfael
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:22:03 PM EDT] <Bee> Most of my favorite mysteries have cats, or sometimes dogs.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:22:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I just went to look for Alison Golden on the library's e-book app. Alas, not there.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:22:26 PM EDT] <KK> Who's the one with the Siamese cats?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:22:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The Cat Who.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:22:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Yep, always a Brother Cadfael fan
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:22:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Brother Cadfael is definitely a favorite
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:22:42 PM EDT] <Revanne> Where Demercia is now is very much Cadfael country
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:22:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Lillian Jackson Braun. The cats were Koko and Yum-yum, and give me a minute and I might come up with the human's name. Jim something.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:23:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> I would love to walk there
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:23:06 PM EDT] <KK> Loved the TV adaptations. Of course, I'd already read them all by then.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:23:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Qwilleran
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:23:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Quilleran
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:23:11 PM EDT] <Bee> A guy named spencer Quinn writes mysteries narrated by a dog.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:23:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Thank you!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:23:49 PM EDT] <Revanne> It's lovely Jerusha anx like going back 50 years.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:23:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm still alternating Brother Cadfael and Miss Fisher in the Kindle app.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:24:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not Kindle, Hoopla--the e-lending app.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:24:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Now that is an interesting pairing, DR
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:24:24 PM EDT] <KK> I have to locate my long-misplaced tablet, or I can't do any e-books.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:24:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Alas, they didn't have the fifth Brother Cadfael so I skipped from the fourth to the sixth. I find it odd that Hoopla has all but the fifth one, though.

[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:24:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It is, but it's fun.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:24:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, bynw.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:25:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Miss Fisher's morals and Brother Cadfael's celibacy
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:25:06 PM EDT] <Bee> "Qwilleran" is the correct spelling, Shiral.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:25:07 PM EDT] <Revanne> Some of the Audible Cadfael's were BBC radio dramas thst I'd managed to miss. Very good.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:25:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But they're both very clever and they both inspire quite a bit of loyalty from the people around them.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:25:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Absolutely!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:25:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And Miss Fisher has morals, just not especially conventional ones for her time.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:25:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Been a long time since I read one. But at least I remembered that much
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:25:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> No married men
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:25:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I liked Miss Fisher on PBS but have never read any of the books.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:26:02 PM EDT] <Revanne> Which would bd true of Cadfael too, DR
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:26:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She flouts sexual morals, but she has quite a firm grip on a good number of moral precepts.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:26:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> They are very good, DFK
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:26:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> True, Revanne. I just got to the reveal at the end of _The Virgin in the Ice_, speaking of Cadfael's not-particularly-conventional moral code.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:26:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Will have to see if I can find them
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:26:38 PM EDT] <Bee> Ellis Peters also wrote an excellent series about a small-town policeman. George Felse.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:27:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Derynifank, the author's name is Kerry Greenwood, if you want to look for the Miss Fisher books.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:27:53 PM EDT] <Bee> Miss Fisher on TV didn't appeal to me.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:28:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh my, not all of those wonderful outfits, Bee?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:28:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I enjoyed what I've seen of the Miss Fisher TV show, and I *WANT* those clothes! (Never mind I haven't the figure for them)

[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:28:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Carola Dunn's Daisy Dalrymple and her Cornish mysteries are favorites.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:28:39 PM EDT] <Bee> not my cup of tea.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:28:55 PM EDT] <Revanne> And she, Ellis Peters wrote some good historical fiction - I think writing as Edith Pargeter, which was her real name.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:29:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I wonder if the writers of As Time Goes By were thinking of Peters/Pargeter when they named Judi Dench's character.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:29:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Thanks DR
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:29:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Yes, she wrote the Brothers of Gwynedd.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:30:29 PM EDT] <Revanne> And a trilogy about a medieval stone mason called "The heaven Tree".
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:32:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> I need to check that one out
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:32:54 PM EDT] <KK> Several books to check out, for my lock-down reading.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:33:20 PM EDT] <Revanne> I once got into trouble mentioning Prince Charles as "Prince of Wales" to a lady from Gwynedd. " Llewellyn was the last Prince of Wales!" Maybe where I got the idea for the dragon flames from!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:33:25 PM EDT] <Bee> I'm a big fan of Peter Tremayne's Sister Fidelma stories. and TC Lo tiempo's Cat rescue mysteries.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:33:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Find that tablet, KK, or install the relevant app on your phone, and borrow e-books from your library.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:34:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Among others, I am ready George Cornwell's Uhtred of Bebbenbug (might have spelled that wrong)
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:34:26 PM EDT] <KK> I liked the way you had them write a concern on each tongue of flame.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:35:03 PM EDT] <Revanne> Thanks KK
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:35:05 PM EDT] <KK> No way I want to try reading a book on my phone. My bill is already too high!
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:35:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, I didn't think about that; our family plan has unlimited data.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:35:32 PM EDT] <Bee> and the phone screen is too small.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:35:47 PM EDT] <bynw> there got that working again ... thanks for ignoring my test logins
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:36:10 PM EDT] <KK> I <think> I now have unlimited date, but the next phone bill will tell the story.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:36:29 PM EDT] <KK> That doesn't solve the point of too small a screen.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:36:34 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> I use Kindle through Wi-Fi, so no data charges
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:36:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And if you connect your phone to your home WiFi, it shouldn't make a difference to your phone bill.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:36:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Your battery life is another story, though.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:37:11 PM EDT] * bynw has always had unlimited data good think to since the youngest is still on his phone plan and uses about 30gb of data
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:37:17 PM EDT] <Revanne> But as long as you can find the charger...
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:37:32 PM EDT] <bynw> think=thing
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:38:39 PM EDT] <Revanne> That's about the only thing I don't regret about not having kids at home - going to chargd my phone or tablet and finding it's been half- inched.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:39:11 PM EDT] <Revanne> Thd charger not the phone.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:39:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Half-inched?
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:39:47 PM EDT] <Revanne> Pinched! A vit of rhyming slang that's made it into everday usage.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:39:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Stolen.
[Sunday, April 26, 2020] [8:39:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Lifted.
