I just graduated (or took part in the days long ceremonies) and yesterday, the night drive home was so stormy and long I expected a fight for the Fairy Flag at the end of it  ;)  I pray that I now have enough free time to take the feedback I have been given and make something of it. Thank you for the advice!

[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:06:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:06:32 PM EDT] <KK> Wow, we've got a crowd tonight!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:06:42 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:07:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How was your week, KK?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:07:28 PM EDT] <KK> OK, a bunch of them are idlers.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:07:44 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Bynw and Bee and Dennis.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:08:17 PM EDT] <KK> It was productive.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:08:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Dennis and I are in a heat wave. I don't know about you and bynw, KK.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:08:52 PM EDT] <KK> How hot has it been where you guys are?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:09:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> More stuff sent away?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:09:18 PM EDT] <bynw> yesterday was like 110 with the heat index ... otherwise like 95+ without it
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:09:30 PM EDT] <KK> We were in the low 90's, and it's supposed to be worse tomorrow and Tuesday.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:09:40 PM EDT] <KK> Near 100.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:09:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 90s here
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:10:06 PM EDT] <KK> Blech! I haven't been out of the house today.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:10:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Keep the air concitioning on.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:10:36 PM EDT] <bynw> today it's mid 80s
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:10:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi, KK! Sorry, I was afk folding/putting away laundry. How are you doing?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:10:47 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, KK!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:10:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And hi Dennis and Bee.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:11:00 PM EDT] Join derynifank (62a6eda8@owirc-0o17lq.mibbit.com) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:11:03 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, DR.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:11:04 PM EDT] <Dennis> It was 96 today, I think.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:11:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Between fans and a/c, I'm not bad.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:11:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi DFK
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:11:21 PM EDT] <Dennis> The AC is fighting a valiant but losing battle.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:12:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi derynifank
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:12:03 PM EDT] <bynw> hi DFK
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:12:08 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi everyone. It got to 102 here today. Hiding in the house with the ac and praying it doesn't go out
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:12:45 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, DFK. Not quite as hot here, but I'm offering up that same prayer.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:12:54 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi KK. Is it cooler in the mountains
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:13:05 PM EDT] <Dennis> 102? Yeeech!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:13:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I just turned one fan so it's aimed toward me.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:13:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> KK, I had a question for you. Since Dragon*Con is now a virtual event, did you want to move September early chat to that first Sunday in September (6 Sep) or leave it on the 13th (which is how it's listed on the forum now)?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:13:25 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds like Bynw has the best temps.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:14:03 PM EDT] <derynifank> What is your temp. bynw?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:14:18 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, let's move it back to first Sunday.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:14:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:14:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> okay by me
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:15:11 PM EDT] <bynw> right now its like 84 out
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:15:23 PM EDT] <bynw> yesterday it was upper 90s with a heat index of 110
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:15:30 PM EDT] <KK> Enjoy while you can.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:15:48 PM EDT] <KK> Yuck for yesterday!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:15:51 PM EDT] <derynifank> It is still 98 here
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:15:56 PM EDT] <Dennis> So KK was your week productive in the writing sense or in the to-do list sense?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:17:56 PM EDT] <KK> To do. I closed and sealed half a dozen boxes that are going elsewhere. But not until the heat breaks. I'm not lugging them to the car and then into the P.O. in this heat.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:17:58 PM EDT] <derynifank> 84 sounds like a cold front. Wish we had one but no prospects until late in the week
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:18:37 PM EDT] <The_Bee> forecast here lower day by day.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:18:57 PM EDT] <Dennis> I don't blame you in the least, KK. I'm dreading just taking the trash out.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:19:04 PM EDT] <bynw> i did all my weekend shopping in the earlier hours of Saturday before the heat hit. Then just stayed in the AC
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:19:20 PM EDT] <derynifank> Wish thaat was our forcast but we are actally supposed to be hotter tomorrow
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:19:24 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, we're looking at lower temps toward the end of the week.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:19:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm trying not to go out if I don't need to, but I had to go to the grocery store earlier today, and tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:19:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> not fun
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:20:28 PM EDT] <Dennis> We're supposed to be bearable again by Tuesday or Wednesday. Around 90 tomorrow and then low to mid-80s.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:20:28 PM EDT] <KK> I <really> need to get to the physio gym, since I haven't been since last Monday, but I'm going to try to go by about 1000.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:20:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 1000 years?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:21:04 PM EDT] <KK> am
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:21:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think KK was giving the time 24-hour clock-style. :)
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:21:31 PM EDT] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:21:45 PM EDT] * bynw can read 1000 hours
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:21:51 PM EDT] <Dennis> How do you say that? Ten hundred hours?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:21:54 PM EDT] * DesertRose can too.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:21:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup, Dennis
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:22:05 PM EDT] <bynw> you got it Dennis
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:22:20 PM EDT] <KK> I just say ten o'clock. And I write the pm times with a p after.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:22:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm not exactly a Navy brat, as bio-father had gotten out of the Navy before I was born, but I'm definitely Navy-brat-adjacent, LOL.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:22:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> does that mean am or pm?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:22:36 PM EDT] <KK> Takes up less space in the phone's calendar.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:22:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> 1000 hours is 10 am.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:22:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ten p.m. is 2200.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:23:16 PM EDT] <KK> So my use is a blending of regular time and 24-hr.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:23:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I hope the phuysio has a/c.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:23:30 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, yes.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:23:33 PM EDT] <derynifank> I like the 24 hour clock. Less confusion. 8 am is 0800 and 8 pm is 2000
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:23:54 PM EDT] <Dennis> I don't use time anymore. Every day is Blursday and it's just either light or dark.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:24:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Mine is 12-hour.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:24:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> BRB getting ice water
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:24:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, Dennis, sounds about right, but sometimes I have to be somewhere at a given time, and then Blursday at light doesn't quite work.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:25:26 PM EDT] <derynifank> Doctors don't mind being late but they don't like when we are late
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:25:37 PM EDT] <KK> That's for sure.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:25:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:26:09 PM EDT] <Dennis> The real clock is Missy. 7 am and 7 pm feeding and woe betide us if we are late.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:26:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> There is no snooze button on a hungry cat. :D
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:26:33 PM EDT] <Dennis> Cats are even more strict about lateness than doctors are. :)
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:26:36 PM EDT] <derynifank> So true
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:26:53 PM EDT] <KK> And these days, they often have you wait in your car until an office person comes out to get you and check temp before taking you directly to exam room. Vet does a variation on that.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:27:53 PM EDT] <derynifank> My vet does too. I call when I'm there, they come out and get cat, I never go in at all.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:27:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Dennis, how is Missy coping with the heat?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:28:11 PM EDT] <KK> Same here, derynifan.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:28:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. I had to take Carys on Wednesday (she's lost weight, and I was trying to get her to lose weight, but I felt like she'd lost a lot in a short span of time), and then I had to take her back yesterday to have her blood drawn.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:28:38 PM EDT] <derynifank> Cat is not pleased with new procedure. But then he didn't like the other one either
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:28:45 PM EDT] <Dennis> That's how our vet does it too. Missy alternates between hanging out in the AC and grooming herself and puddling in the hot rooms of the apartment.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:29:02 PM EDT] <Dennis> I hope Carys is OK, DR.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:29:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She's not showing any signs of hyperthyroidism (which is what I was worried about; it's not a huge problem if it's treated, but if it's not treated, it's bad news), but the vet wanted to look at blood tests just in case.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:29:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is she still weating the cone?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:29:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> wearing
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:30:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup, she's fine.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:30:12 PM EDT] <KK> Booker, on the other hand, loves to go to the vet and meet all those new people. He went a week ago to get vaccines updated, get his nails trimmed, and have them look at a lump I discovered on the right side of the back of his neck. Vet says it's no problem.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:30:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> M hyperthyroid pills.elantha's been taking
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:30:42 PM EDT] <derynifank> Glad Booker is ok
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:30:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's pretty common in cats when they get to be about middle-aged, and Carys is approximately six or seven years old, so that's why I got worried when she slimmed so quickly.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:30:45 PM EDT] <Dennis> Bee are you asking about Missy or Carys?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:31:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, sweet Booker pup. Glad he's okay.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:31:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My rented fingers have a mnd of their own.:@
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:31:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> :@
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:32:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Missy
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:32:40 PM EDT] <Dennis> She is not still in the cone. She's on a steroid and the sore isn't quite gone, but she's sick of the cone and we feel too badly for her to keep her in it.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:33:15 PM EDT] <derynifank> Does she leave it alone without the cone?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:33:42 PM EDT] <KK> Also in the good news department: Open Road is going to do the anthology I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. Contract will arrive sometime in the next week or so.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:33:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh yay!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:33:57 PM EDT] <bynw> awesome!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:34:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Cool!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:34:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys has never (touch wood) worn the Cone.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:34:06 PM EDT] <bynw> a new Deryni book will be welcome
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:34:06 PM EDT] <derynifank> Terrific!!!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:34:16 PM EDT] <KK> Mind you, I've not even looked at the couple of stories I've already received.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:34:29 PM EDT] <KK> But I will.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:34:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You've been busy going through belongings and taking a dog to the vet. :)
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:34:48 PM EDT] <KK> Yep, and that takes priority.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:34:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:35:19 PM EDT] <Dennis> Huzzah! Looking forward to that. Do you have an idea what your story will be, KK?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:35:31 PM EDT] <KK> But every time I take half a dozen or a dozen boxes out of the house, it's like a great weight has been lifted. Definite progress.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:35:37 PM EDT] <derynifank> Check out the fanfic on the forum. There are some wonderful stories there
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:36:17 PM EDT] <derynifank> Always feels good when filled boxes leave the house
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:36:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I haven't come up with anything new;(
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:36:24 PM EDT] <KK> Not a clue, though I'm thinking about Kelson and Araxie. And yes, I'll be pulling some stories from the forum, I'm sure.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:36:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> derynifank: I sent her "Miracles" and revanne sent "Sacerdos in Aeternam," "The Tempter Has Many Disguises," and "Nunc Dimittis," I think.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:36:56 PM EDT] <KK> Yep, those are the ones I've received thus far.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:37:02 PM EDT] <bynw> as for me ... i'm leaving my 13+ year career at my local cable company effective on august 7th. and starting a new job on august 10th with a local start-up company. big pay raise, fancy title, pretty much a dream job. couldnt pass it up. worth the risk of joining a start up.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:37:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Wow, that's a big change, bynw~
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:37:28 PM EDT] <KK> Congrats, Bynw!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:37:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Congrats to bynw!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:37:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (That ~ was supposed to be an exclamation point, speaking of rented fingers.)
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:37:41 PM EDT] <Dennis> Good luck, bynw!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:37:47 PM EDT] <derynifank> Look at Jerusha's triplet stories. They are great
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:37:55 PM EDT] <bynw> thanks all around :)
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:38:15 PM EDT] <KK> I'll look for them. (Who has had triplets?)
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:38:36 PM EDT] <derynifank> Congrats bynw! A big pay raise AND a dream job. Who could wish for more. Happy for you
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:39:42 PM EDT] <derynifank> Tere is a whole story arc about a set of Deryni triplets. Great fun to read.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:40:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think the triplets are original characters.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:40:22 PM EDT] <derynifank> Sorry. Yes they are original characters
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:40:25 PM EDT] <KK> I can't think of any story in any genre that has triplets.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:40:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Children of original characters, too; I think their father is one of Morgan's liegemen.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:41:20 PM EDT] <derynifank> Actually he is Nigel's liegeman.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:41:36 PM EDT] <KK> O...kay.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:41:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Andre Norton's Witch World stories had a set of triplets,
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:42:16 PM EDT] <derynifank> I just know because I recently reread them.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:42:22 PM EDT] <KK> Should be interesting. Not many people write about lesser characters--spear carriers, red shirts.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:43:47 PM EDT] <KK> The little people behind the scenes, without whom nothing would get done. There are no small parts, only small actors.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:44:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is there a deadline for getting the stories to you, KK?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:45:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> In other words, KK, Jerusha made up a nobleman and his triplet children so she could play in the Deryni sandbox you created. :D
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:46:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> With some of your characters showing up from time to time. I know Morgan and Derry both show up in Jana's Gift, which may be the first story Jerusha wrote with that group; she has written several.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:46:40 PM EDT] <KK> I'd guess by the end of September. Don't know what <my> deadline is going to be until I get their contract. Publication won't be until next year, though they'll start hyping it before the end of 2020. (May it come soon!)
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:47:09 PM EDT] <derynifank> And to addd to the fun, the mother was a Torenthi noblewoman. She died but her sister is helping raise them.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:47:10 PM EDT] <KK> Got that, DR.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:48:11 PM EDT] <derynifank> Yup. So ready for 2020 to be done. It just keeps hetting worse
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:48:20 PM EDT] <derynifank> getting
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:50:11 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, on top of everything, I've got an ant invasion in my bathroom. I've put out ant traps; hope this resolved the problem.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:50:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> YIKE!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:51:03 PM EDT] <derynifank> I think Jerusha said she sent you "A Aprtridge in a Pear Tree" which was part of a group of tales based on the 12 Days of Christmas
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:51:09 PM EDT] <bynw> if not might need to get an exterminator our
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:51:11 PM EDT] <bynw> out
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:51:14 PM EDT] <KK> At least they're black ants. Could be far worst.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:51:46 PM EDT] <derynifank> Partridge in a Pear Tree
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:51:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone, sorry to be late
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:52:02 PM EDT] <bynw> speaking of Jerusha!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:52:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:52:21 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, I've read that one. Nice story.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:52:27 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi Jerusha. We've been telling KK about some of your stories
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:52:37 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha. We've been talking about your Deryni triplet fanfic.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:52:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> DS3 and family were supposed to show up for supper, but did not come due to storms, and did not let us kmow
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:53:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh oh
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:53:02 PM EDT] <KK> Bummer. But at least you've got storms to cool things off.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:53:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And lots of leftovers
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:53:21 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, Jerusha!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:53:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Dennis
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:53:31 PM EDT] <Dennis> :(
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:54:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Leftovers freeze, so it's all good
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:54:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Dennis?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:54:24 PM EDT] <KK> What had you cooked?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:54:30 PM EDT] <derynifank> And leftovers mean less cooking later
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:54:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Everyone
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:01 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, Laurna.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:12 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi Laurna. I was wondering where you were
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:14 PM EDT] <Laurna> I was outside in the yard. forgot the time
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:23 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Laurna
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> Very nice afternoon
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> with puppies?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Teryakis kabobs and rice
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> Running around ALOT
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:44 PM EDT] <derynifank> That sounds yummy
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yum Jerusha2
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:53 PM EDT] <KK> Easy to lose track of time, with it staying light so late.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:55:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And corn on the cob cooked on the BBQ
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:56:10 PM EDT] <KK> Yum, Jerusha!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:56:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am portaling over for dinner
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:56:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> Now where is that portal
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:56:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I have lots left!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:56:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yum
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:56:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And birthday cake
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:56:45 PM EDT] <bynw> cake?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:56:45 PM EDT] <KK> I'll bet you do!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:56:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> Whos birthday?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:56:57 PM EDT] <derynifank> Whose birthday?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:57:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Leftover from DH's birthday at the beginning of the month
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:57:01 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, no. It was to be a birthday dinner?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:57:06 PM EDT] <KK> Ah.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:57:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> Happy birthday DH
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:57:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not really; cake freezes very nicely for future desserts
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:58:09 PM EDT] <KK> Amen to that!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:58:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> Storms would ruin a nice get to gether.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:58:28 PM EDT] <KK> Especially if you were going to cook outside.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:58:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Well, we had a very good visit with GS3 on Saturday, so I can't complain
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:58:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good for that
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:58:50 PM EDT] <derynifank> I'll take them. Send them my way. Very hot and dry here
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:59:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> bundles up rain for DFK and sets it on the Portal
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:59:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> Rain? I remember we had some in March
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:59:29 PM EDT] <derynifank> The storms I mean
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:59:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> She canhave the rain. I will take the left overs
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [7:59:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> stirs the pot: "double, double storms but no trouble
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:00:00 PM EDT] <derynifank> Thanks. I reallly need it
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:00:52 PM EDT] <KK> We had a small one come through a couple of night ago; only a couple of thunder rolls, a little way away, not enough to scare Booker. And it brought a bit of rain, though not enough to make much difference.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:01:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> So what did you ladies think of Princess Beatrice's Wedding dress. A very pretty bride.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:01:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> What we had was very mild
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:01:37 PM EDT] <KK> I'd love to have a real soaker of a rain about now. But it would also raise the humidity, and that's high enough already.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:01:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I don't think I saw a picture of it
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:01:52 PM EDT] <derynifank> I agree. I thought she looked lovely.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:01:52 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Maine had a small tornado.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> TOrnado. YIKE
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:10 PM EDT] <KK> A nice reworking of one Her Majesty's gowns. And she got a biggie re the tiara.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:17 PM EDT] <Dennis> Yeah, unless it's the rain at the edge of cooler weather, it just makes things worse.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ohy yes, I did see it
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh, that is
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Whose daughter is Beatrice?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Andrew's
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:39 PM EDT] <bynw> that's all rain does around here. just raises the humidity and makes it hotter with the heat index. and then the corn grows in the iowa fields and adds to that humidity factor.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Prince Andrew's
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> The Tiara did match the dress. so it worked quite well
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:02:46 PM EDT] <KK> She looked very happy, as did her new hubby.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:03:01 PM EDT] <derynifank> Prince Andrew
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:03:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> Agreed
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:03:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The news talked about the social distancing.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:03:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hopefully not between Beatrice and her husband!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:03:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> The queen was 10 feet way in the photo
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:03:55 PM EDT] <KK> Using one of the Queen's dresses made great sense, because the pandemic made it impossible to get a new one; and reusing a dress was frugal. Good PR all around.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:04:12 PM EDT] <derynifank> There were only 20 or so guests
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:04:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's weird, re: storms and humidity. Sometimes they make the humidity worse and sometimes they clear the air and make it all better -- at least for the moment.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:04:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> How much fun it would be to go through the queens wardrobe and say oh let me try on that one.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:04:40 PM EDT] <KK> Also a great sign of the Queen's favor, that she let Beatrice use the tiara and the gown.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:05:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> I do hope she gets to keep the gown, It is now her wedding gown after all. the tiara of corse goes back into the valt
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:05:25 PM EDT] <KK> They had to lengthen it--hence, the wide band at the hem--and I believe they took some volume out of the skirt. And added the sleeves, of course.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:05:56 PM EDT] <Dennis> Still boggling than Prince Philip is 99.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:06:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Definitely had the "something borrowed" part nailed
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:06:16 PM EDT] <KK> Yep. He looked like he was doing ok, very pleased to be there.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:06:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 99!?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:06:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> I wondered about the hem. I was wondering if it had gotten soiled from prior waring and they needed to replace a part of it. thus the whole bottem hem
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:06:36 PM EDT] <KK> No, Beatrice is taller than H.M.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:06:57 PM EDT] <KK> H.M. only wore it twice, I believe.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:07:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> makes since
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:07:24 PM EDT] <derynifank> But Beatrice did look lovely and very happy
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:07:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes he is doing well for 99, Helps to have a good chief who makes healthy meals all the time
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:08:02 PM EDT] <derynifank> Wonder what HM does with gowns after she has worn them
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:08:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> sed hem to a jumble sale? =*
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:08:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> In the old days they would be handed down as favors but I am not sure they do that anymore
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:09:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Some might go on display, some might be auctioned
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:09:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> For a good cause
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:09:54 PM EDT] <derynifank> I know they auctioned some of Diana's gowns but never heard that they did that with the Queens
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:10:02 PM EDT] <KK> I believe she has vast closets, with logs of when she's worn them and with what accessories.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:10:23 PM EDT] <bynw> i'm sure someone keeps track of that information
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:10:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I could deal with that
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:11:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> I did like the color HM was wearing. And I saw a peak of the flowered dress underneath. looked very nice.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:11:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How many grandchildren does H.M. have?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:11:18 PM EDT] <derynifank> Lots
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:11:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> many
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:11:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:11:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> and some great-grands
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:11:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> yep
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:12:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> So the princesses are both finally wed. I wish them all happyness
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:12:43 PM EDT] <KK> I think her 4 children each have 2, so that's 8.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:12:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> All the grandchildren are now wed?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:13:16 PM EDT] <derynifank> And 8 great grandchildren
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:13:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Maybe not Prince Edwards
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:13:39 PM EDT] <KK> The Queen went right after to knight Captain Tom. She looked pleased and beautiful.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:13:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> yes
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:13:59 PM EDT] <derynifank> Prince Edward is married and has 2 children
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:14:13 PM EDT] <KK> Not Prince Edward's; they're too young.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:14:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Wielded the sword quite well
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:14:41 PM EDT] <Dennis> Captain Tom's knighting was quite lovely.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:14:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> her father's sword.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:14:59 PM EDT] <KK> That's the one she usually uses, I believe.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:15:21 PM EDT] <derynifank> I heard that Capt Tom was also prompted to Colonel
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:15:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> yes
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:16:39 PM EDT] <derynifank> So now he is Colonel Sir Thomas... Cool
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:16:41 PM EDT] <KK> I think they have have given him an honorary colonelship, ceremonial. He's gotten promoted to captain right after he raised all that money walking in his garden with his walker. Quite a feat; raised several million pounds, I belive.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:16:41 PM EDT] <Laurna> DFK was asking about pages to squires to knights and the ages for the change. We were thinking 8- 12 or 14 and 18. is that right?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:17:10 PM EDT] <KK> That's about it.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:17:14 PM EDT] <Dennis> Heading out. Have a good night everyone!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:17:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, Dennis!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:17:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good night Dennis
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:17:28 PM EDT] <KK> Gnight, Dennis. Stay cool and healthy.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:17:33 PM EDT] <derynifank> By Dennis. Have a good week
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:17:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I think you could be as young as seven to be a page
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:17:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> nighters, Dennis Scritch Missy for us.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:17:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I think that
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:18:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> is the age Jared and Justin became pages
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:18:17 PM EDT] <KK> Ages were always flexible, according to the King and the maturity and readiness of the child.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:18:21 PM EDT] <Dennis> Thank you, KK and DFK. Night, Jerusha and Bee. I will.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:18:27 PM EDT] Quit Dennis (183d2843@owirc-0o17lq.mibbit.com) has left this server (Quit: https://mibbit.com Online IRC Client).
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:19:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Boys tended to get kicked out of the nest fairly early
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:19:26 PM EDT] <KK> It was cute when she knighted Sir Tom, and he did not kneel; said that if he did, he might never get up. I know what he was saying!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:19:46 PM EDT] <Laurna> me too
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:19:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Me too
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:20:37 PM EDT] <KK> They have me stepping forward to kneel on one knee at physio, but it's hard even there, and far from graceful.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:21:04 PM EDT] <KK> But I couldn't do it at all when I first started.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:21:13 PM EDT] * The_Bee is picturing Capt. Tom kneeling, the Queen trying to help him rise, and both falling over.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:21:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Then things are improving
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:21:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear, Bee!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:21:50 PM EDT] <derynifank> Now that would be a picture but glad it didn't happen
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:21:56 PM EDT] <KK> And there would have bee aides scurrying to remedy the situation!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:22:00 PM EDT] <KK> been
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:23:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> This morning I leaned forward from my desk chair to try and get the thing that a puppy was eating, and as I leaned forward my chair rolled away from me and dropped me, plop, to the floor. I was laughing so hard the puppy felt sorry for me and licked my face. but I did have to think about it before standing up.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:23:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Puppy kisses are a good motivator
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:23:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ROFL!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:23:49 PM EDT] <KK> Well, I think I['d better head out. Tomorrow I have to do that very thing, of kneeling on one knee. I hope I can get over there and back before it gets too hot.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:24:10 PM EDT] <bynw> hope it cools down for all of us
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:24:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> Happpy kneeling and standing
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:24:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Have a good week, KK
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:24:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> Have a nice week KK
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:24:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am on vacation
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:24:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yah
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:24:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Whoopee, Laurna!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:24:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> Pre retirement vacation
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:24:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> good week, KK, and much to-do done.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:24:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Lots of time for puppy cuddles
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:25:00 PM EDT] <bynw> that's nice Laurna ... getting any GotP writing in? :)
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:25:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> We are waiting for Revanne
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:25:17 PM EDT] <KK> Rolling chairs at inopportune moments are a great hazzard, Laurna. Been there, done that. But getting old beats not getting old. ;-)
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:25:19 PM EDT] <derynifank> Yep. Laurna is on vacation for 2 weeks, goes back to work for 1 day and is officially retired. Yay for her
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:25:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> revanne is next up, bynw
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:25:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> Not sure how long we should wait
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:25:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Just need to get old slower, KK
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:26:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Maybe I should send her a subtle PM.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:26:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> I do want to do some writing this week
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:26:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am ready to move forward
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:26:36 PM EDT] <KK> Yay, Laurna! And Revanne is next up for....vacation? Surely not for retirement.
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:26:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not working on the kitchen?
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:26:52 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, Laurna!
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:26:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Next up for GotP, KK
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:26:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> Actually she said she wants to retire inabout 6 months
[Sunday, July 19, 2020] [8:27:15 PM EDT] <bynw> i do have 3 days off work coming up before i blow that popsicle stand

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

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