[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:01:49 PM EDT] <bynw> jacob, i'm in west des moines
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:01:51 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:01:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:02:00 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:02:02 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:02:52 PM EDT] <derynifank> How is everyone?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:03:16 PM EDT] * bynw is great
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:04:01 PM EDT] <derynifank> When does your new job start bynw?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:04:07 PM EDT] <bynw> 8-10
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:04:41 PM EDT] <derynifank> Do you have some time off between the old and the new?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:05:16 PM EDT] <KK> I was just about to ask that.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:05:20 PM EDT] <bynw> i'm taking a few days off this week
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:05:33 PM EDT] <derynifank> Good for you

[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:06:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:06:08 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi Bee
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:06:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi All!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:06:23 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi Bee
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:07:22 PM EDT] <KK> So, what has everybody been doing this past week? Besides staying healthy, of course.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:07:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've been watching a recording of the John Lewis memorial celebration.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:08:10 PM EDT] <derynifank> Staying in, hiding from the virus and the heat and humidity. Trying to do some writing
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:08:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Physical therapy (the left ankle is *almost* back to its old self but not quite), a little sewing, a lot of dreaming about sewing and clothes, both mundane and SCA garb.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:08:37 PM EDT] <KK> I've watched a bit. It was cool when the horse-drawn hearse took his coffin over the bridge.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:09:04 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm seeing that now.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:09:20 PM EDT] <KK> I need to wrestle my machine out of its cabinet and take it to the sewing machine doctor this week.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:09:37 PM EDT] <bynw> the usual. work, groceries, laundry, et al
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:09:57 PM EDT] <derynifank> I've also been watching a lot of the tributes to John Lewis, A true giant of the civil rights movement
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:10:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, mine is probably about due for a tune-up, too.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:10:47 PM EDT] <KK> The tension is out of whack on mine, and it's beyond my ability to adjust it right.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:11:03 PM EDT] <KK> It could also use a good cleaning and oiling.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:11:16 PM EDT] <derynifank> I had to break down and but a new vacuum. My attempted repairs unfortunately didn't hold up. Not good when it blows out dirt instead of the other way round.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:11:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I had a problem like that with mine too; it was something with the needle thread tension knob, which fell off during a move years ago and hasn't really been right since.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:11:36 PM EDT] <KK> Too true.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:12:11 PM EDT] <KK> Re vacuum.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:12:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I dust mine every time I use it and oil it at the end of each project. (well, I didn't oil it when I finished the shorts, because that was a tiny project and I'm working on a bigger one; I'll oil the ol' girl when I finish that project though.)
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:12:47 PM EDT] <KK> You are so good!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:12:57 PM EDT] <KK> Mine hasn't been oiled in years.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:13:02 PM EDT] <derynifank> what is your big project DR?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:13:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'll share pics when it's finished, DFK.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:13:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Everyone
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:13:36 PM EDT] <derynifank> I''ll be looking for them
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:13:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I don't even own a sewing machine. I have enough trouble handling a needle and thread.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:13:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mine gets VERY cranky when she's short on oil, so I've learned that lesson the hard way.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:13:44 PM EDT] <derynifank> HI Laurna
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:13:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Laurna.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:13:46 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Laurna
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:13:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:14:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> Did everyone find there way in.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:14:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys is on the back of the desk chair, behind me, and she has set one paw on my right shoulder.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:14:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Everyone here is here.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:14:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Maybe she's petting me?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:14:41 PM EDT] <KK> Mine is a Kenmore, probably about 40 years old. I could've kept my mother's big machine, but it has a computer, and would have taken too much effort to learn to use it.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:14:43 PM EDT] <derynifank> In where?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:15:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> DFK, the Eris bot that allows people to be on Discord and chat here is down.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:15:54 PM EDT] <derynifank> Oh. I gave up on discord awhile ago. Tried everything thye told me but never could fix the account
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:15:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mine is a Singer, made in the late 60's. My mom bought it used when I was little, and then she upgraded to a Kenmore a decade or so ago and gave me the Singer (on which I learned to machine-sew).
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:16:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is that why Shiral and Jerusha aren't here?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:16:03 PM EDT] <Laurna> Chat without discord. For sewing Machines my Huskivarna Emerald is like an old work horse. never quits.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:16:12 PM EDT] <KK> I've been happy with mibbit, of lae.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:16:16 PM EDT] <KK> late
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:16:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Kiwi works for me.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:16:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, I'm jealous, Laurna! I *want* a Husqvarna, but they are out of my budget, alas.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:16:53 PM EDT] <derynifank> Don't tell Murphy but mibbet has been pretty good lately
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:17:49 PM EDT] <KK> I definitely would not mention it to Murphy!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:17:58 PM EDT] <derynifank> Jacob has joined the idlers. Hope we didn't scare him away
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:18:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> I bought my Husqvarna at the LA county fair about 15 years ago. when the emerald line first came out. They absolute best purchase I ever made.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:18:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Murphy Who?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:18:15 PM EDT] <bynw> been trying to get Shiral's attention on Discord but so far no luck. I see her logged in but there is no response from here. Jerusha hasn't connected yet.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:18:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> As in Murphy's Law, Bee.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:18:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> Murphy's law
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:18:37 PM EDT] <derynifank> You know, Murphy's Law. If anything cab go wrong it will
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:18:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Oh Yes!XD
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:18:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> XD
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:19:13 PM EDT] <bynw> i had a character named Murphy once. He had magical powers that impacted probability around him. Usually in his favor but against everyone elses.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:19:32 PM EDT] <derynifank> A neat idea. Tell us more
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:19:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is so like you bynw. LOL
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:19:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I read a silly book about Murphy's Law, and one of the extended laws was, "If any number of things can go wrong, they will all do so AND in the worst possible order."
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:19:56 PM EDT] <derynifank> I bet the casinos banned him
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:20:35 PM EDT] <bynw> it was a lot of fun
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:20:48 PM EDT] <jacob> That reminds me of the movie Intacto with Max von Sydow.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:21:03 PM EDT] <derynifank> Ah Jacob is bCK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:21:10 PM EDT] <derynifank> back
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:21:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Depending on whether Murphy was working against the gamblers or against the casino.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:21:22 PM EDT] <KK> Intacto? Doesn't ring a bell.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:22:34 PM EDT] <jacob> It's a spanish film. max von sydow can steal people's luck by touch.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:22:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> Let us keep Murphy's law stuck in Murphy's closet. That way you will never find it.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:22:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> Jacob that would be cruel.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:23:15 PM EDT] <KK> Not a nice thing to happen.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:23:37 PM EDT] <jacob> It's an interesting movie. I recommend it.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:23:54 PM EDT] <derynifank> Is it a new one?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:23:56 PM EDT] <KK> He played a lot of strange parts.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:24:50 PM EDT] <bynw> sounds interesting
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:24:52 PM EDT] <jacob> It's from 2001.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:26:10 PM EDT] <Laurna> That should be a long time ago, but for some reason it doesn't seem so.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:26:29 PM EDT] <derynifank> 19 years
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:26:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> Not that long ago, Right?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:27:17 PM EDT] <derynifank> Just yesterday
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:27:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:27:28 PM EDT] <bynw> that was a different reality then
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:27:34 PM EDT] <KK> That's because we all lived through it, and we can't be all that old!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:27:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> Exactly!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:27:52 PM EDT] <jacob> Hehe.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:27:54 PM EDT] <KK> Different reality, indeed.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:28:02 PM EDT] <derynifank> Sounds like it was a Y2K thing
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:28:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We were just recovering from Y2K-phobia.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:28:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> Probablly
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:28:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> The film would have been made before Y2K so there you go
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:29:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> If the Von Sydow touched an unlucky person, did he get bad luck?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:29:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> hehe
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:30:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> the von sydow character, I mean
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:31:39 PM EDT] <jacob> I don't remember the exact details. I don't think he was the only one who had such powers though. He was the bad guy and there was a protagonist who eventually got even. It's been a long time since I saw it.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:31:57 PM EDT] <KK> I remember him most vividly from a film where Death and the knight were playing chess on a beach. Can't remember the name of it.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:32:08 PM EDT] <jacob> The Seventh Seal.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:32:15 PM EDT] <KK> Yes!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:32:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> directed by Bergman?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:32:23 PM EDT] <jacob> Yes.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:32:55 PM EDT] <KK> Black and white, which only added to the atmosphere. Color would have ruined it.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:33:28 PM EDT] <derynifank> Black and white is so much more dramatic
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:33:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> for some movies, yes.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:34:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> I like bergman films
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:34:31 PM EDT] <jacob> So do I.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:34:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I don't think I've ever seen one.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:35:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Was he Ingrid Bergman's brother?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:35:31 PM EDT] <KK> They tend to be pretty dark.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:35:45 PM EDT] <jacob> They weren't related, though he directed her once.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:35:49 PM EDT] <KK> No relation, I don't think.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:35:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ah, thanks
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:37:23 PM EDT] Join Eris (Eris@owirc-r8j.le6.208.74.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:37:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Eris
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:37:46 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi Eris
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:37:52 PM EDT] <bynw> remember that is a bot
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:38:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, looks like Eris is up and running again! Good!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:38:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:38:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Does this mean Discord is back?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:38:44 PM EDT] <bynw> Eris a (ro)bot it links Discord to this chat
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:38:50 PM EDT] <bynw> its not a real person
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:39:04 PM EDT] <bynw> anymore than derynibot is
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:39:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We know that, bynw.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:39:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> whooo! we have the bot back 🙂
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:39:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello to bynw on the Eris side
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:40:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> It has been down for several days.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:40:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Now we'll see if our missing chatters will show up.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:40:49 PM EDT] <bynw> Laurna, next time you notice that ... ping me or something i just noticed it today when you mentioned it
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:41:02 PM EDT] <KK> Like Shiral and Evie.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:41:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> I mentioned it several days ago but I didn't relize what was causing the problem.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:41:20 PM EDT] <bynw> i saw Shiral on discord but she didnt respond
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:41:44 PM EDT] <bynw> evie's not signed in
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:42:09 PM EDT] <derynifank> Maybe Jerusha will appear
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:42:29 PM EDT] <bynw> she wasn't signed in yet either
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:42:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> How long before it gets dark up at her location I wonder.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:43:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> I bet it is a nice summer day.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:43:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> or evening for her.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:43:20 PM EDT] <KK> Jerusha or Evie?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:43:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> up north gets more daylight in summer.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:43:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> For Jerusha
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:43:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Canada
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:43:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> I know that in England It did not get dark until around 10:30 pm.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:44:03 PM EDT] <derynifank> We keep having triple H days, hazy, hot and humid
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:44:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> I presume Ireland was the same in the summer. Nice long days
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:45:31 PM EDT] <KK> And when Scott and I did a lecture cruise up to Nordcap, by the Arctic circle, the sun never really set. It would get down to about a thumb's width when you held out your arm. THen it would start back up. Very strange.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:45:36 PM EDT] <Laurna> The night I arrived in London I went to be before the sun went down.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:45:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Thats cool
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:46:15 PM EDT] <KK> Ireland was full dark around 9-10, in fulol midsummer.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:47:04 PM EDT] <The_Bee> "In winter I get up at night/ And dress by yellow candle-light./ In summer, quite the other way/ I have to go to bed by day."
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:47:42 PM EDT] <KK> We had very little light pollution where we lived, especially in the early days, so we got to see lots of stars. And a comet. Has anyone spotted Neowise?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:47:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL. I am not one to usually go to bed when the sun is still shining.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:48:04 PM EDT] <The_Bee> no. Streetlights interfere.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:48:07 PM EDT] <KK> LOL, Bee. I'd never hreard that rhyme.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:48:14 PM EDT] <Laurna> That would be nice
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:48:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Robert Louis Stevenson, I think.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:49:27 PM EDT] <KK> That sounds like him.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:49:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> from A Child's Garden of Verses.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:50:03 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, I have that book, and memorized most of the poems as a child. But I don't remember that one, perhaps because it was short.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:50:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> longer than I quoted
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:50:35 PM EDT] <KK> I can still spout poetry at the drop of a hat, and people are amazed.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:50:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> Love it
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:50:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Memory is a weird thing.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:51:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My mom used to recite Guiterman's poem about the cam-u-ell from memory.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:52:11 PM EDT] <KK> The poetry was my mother's doing, of course. And she read to us when were little. I'm told that I recited the entire poem of Little Orphan Annie for my grandparents on my second (I think) birthday. Or maybe it was third.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:52:11 PM EDT] <derynifank> Yep. I can remember poems but not whre I put my keys
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:52:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> impresssive either age
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:52:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> My dad could recite "The cremation so Sam Megie" line for line. We were siting down at dinner last year and I check he had it down right.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:52:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The only reason I can remember where I put my keys is that I habitually put them in about two places.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:53:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I keep mine in my purse.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:53:36 PM EDT] <KK> Me too. When I occasionally leave them in a trouser packet, I temporarily panic until I pat the pocket and realize what I've done.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:53:52 PM EDT] <KK> Mine usually live next to my purse.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:53:59 PM EDT] <derynifank> I did finally put up a key holder by the fron door. That helps if I remember to hang them there
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:54:05 PM EDT] <Laurna> My keys are connected to my purse
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:54:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I did that with my bike padlock once.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:54:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> forgot it in my pocket, i mean.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:55:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If I'm home, they're generally here: https://imgur.com/a/pxpdxSZ
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:55:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (Which is just inside my front door.)
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:55:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I lost two sets of keys b/c they were attached to my purse and they got caught on something.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:56:09 PM EDT] <derynifank> I have a problem with credit card. Use it to put gas ib te car, stick it in my pocket then forget it. Have to go through all my pockeys looking for it
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:56:18 PM EDT] <KK> Tee-hee. I have that cat-butt hook, and have fastened it to the side of my dressing table for mu necklaces.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:56:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> "Where are your keys?" "On the cat butts."
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:57:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'll take "Exchanges that make sense only in DesertRose's home" for $600.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:57:11 PM EDT] <derynifank> Love it

[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:59:53 PM EDT] <revanne> Had trouble getting in
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [7:59:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> I have Tiny in my arms. Hard to type. He goes to a new home tomorrow. His happy new parents want to name him Oliver Twist.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:00:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:00:21 PM EDT] <revanne> Hi Tiny
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:00:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Make sure Tiny gets lots of cuddles before he leaves
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:00:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Does he always want some more?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:00:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Tiny.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:00:36 PM EDT] <KK> Twists to get pets?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:00:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> Tiny is sending out lots of dogy kisses
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:00:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Puppy kisses!!!!!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:00:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> happily accepts her share
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:00:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> YEp

[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:01:18 PM EDT] <KK> Was he the tiniest of the puppies?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:01:32 PM EDT] <derynifank> Yaya for puppy kisses
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:01:46 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes he still weighs a few pounds less than the others. But the vet check said he was fine
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:01:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I don't feel my pet is really mine until I rename her or him.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:01:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> He likes to cuddle the most
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:02:03 PM EDT] <KK> He'll maybe just be a smaller dog.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:02:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> But a happy one in his new home
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:02:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> Actually he is lighter but he is starting to get as long a legs as they others
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:02:49 PM EDT] <KK> Just a late-bloomer, then. Maybe.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:03:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> any pics?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:03:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> These are good people that I have known distantly. they called me looking for a new puppy. they had bought one of mine 18 years ago and she had just past away.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:03:49 PM EDT] <KK> I assume you try to keep track of all your puppies....
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:03:50 PM EDT] <revanne> Oh wow so good puppy parents then
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:04:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Especially over 18 years!

[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:07:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sorry Revanne
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:07:08 PM EDT] <KK> Yes. And they must be getting pretty big by now.

[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:07:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Jealous of the puppy probably, revanne
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:07:58 PM EDT] <revanne> Thank you KK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:08:35 PM EDT] <revanne> Maybe it's Cassie being jealous and somehow sending out mysterious doggy powers in her sleep
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:08:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/x6SOLVy6/image.png
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:08:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Probably wants her own belly-rub
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:09:01 PM EDT] <KK> I saw you got booted out of your church again, but nice location at the church steps.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:09:37 PM EDT] <revanne> Yes, we have a local spike but managed out side. Luckily it was good weather
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:09:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Just set them on the Portal one at a time, Laurna
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:09:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> Out side might be better right now.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:09:52 PM EDT] <KK> Looked like it was a fine day.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:09:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> Nope Jerusha

[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:11:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> Is that the translation?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:11:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm being a goofball today. It's a silly spelling for "dead of cute."
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:11:40 PM EDT] <KK> How big so these usually get, Laurna?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:11:55 PM EDT] <revanne> Thanks for the translation Bynw !

[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:12:31 PM EDT] <KK> So, large cat sized.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:13:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> I would say that would be a very large cat. maybe not coon cat size.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:13:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Are you incapoochitated right now, Laurna?

[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:16:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> At some point I will need to search for a new girl puppy, but that can wait a while.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:16:16 PM EDT] <derynifank> I thought you were keeping at least one puppy
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:16:27 PM EDT] <revanne> I'

[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:17:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:17:26 PM EDT] <revanne> I think Cassie is too old to introduce a baby into the household.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:17:30 PM EDT] <KK> Shiral!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:17:31 PM EDT] <revanne> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:17:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> No that was Jessa's last she is nearly 7 years old now
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:17:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Ta da
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:17:38 PM EDT] <bynw> there she is
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:17:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> snaps fingers and produces scones, jam, cream and strawberries
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:17:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Did you always breed her to the same male?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:17:59 PM EDT] <KK> So that's why you're looking for another girl puppy.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:18:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hah, wonderful
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:18:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> 7 already? I seem to remember when she was just a puppy
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:18:28 PM EDT] <revanne> Thanks Laurna, it was a bit posh but I worked it in!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:18:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes KK. at some point. I do hope to try and show Paddy and Sunny first.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:18:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or I may be mis-remembering
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:18:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Worked perfect to me
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:19:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Columcil looks a bit dashing in the photo
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:19:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> It was a just the right angle to make the image work
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:19:21 PM EDT] <derynifank> hi Shiral
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:19:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DFK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:19:39 PM EDT] <revanne> Thanks Shiral. I must try not to get cream on the duvet.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:19:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> finger licking good
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:19:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It's virtual, Revanne--pile it on. =o)
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:20:09 PM EDT] <revanne> Lol, I can probably get
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:20:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Very easy to clean
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:20:31 PM EDT] <revanne> Make a mess of virtual cream :-)
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:20:36 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:20:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That's talent
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:20:46 PM EDT] <revanne> Yep
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:21:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Now if you had puppies around, it would be easier to make it messy...
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:21:30 PM EDT] <derynifank> Can't beat scones and cream with strawberries
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:21:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I feel the same way, DFK. Summer time is time to eat strawberries
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:21:58 PM EDT] <KK> True.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:22:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> Ok I can portal puppies to England and Canada. but only if you promise to portal them back.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:22:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Send them back? Oh no!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:22:18 PM EDT] <bynw> i dont think they will make that promise
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:22:27 PM EDT] <KK> Nor do I.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:22:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I keep a bowl of berry compote going in my fridge during the summer. My favorite mix is strawberries, raspberries and blackberries
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:22:35 PM EDT] <revanne> I think the portal might accidentally break down Laurna
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:22:53 PM EDT] <revanne> Yum, Shiral
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:22:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> Once they start eating your furnature, I think they just might send them back.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:23:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We won't be able to fix it
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:23:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:23:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Been there, survived that, Laurna!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:23:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, you could try portaling them to California, but I'm not making any promises about returning them, either. =o) Even if it annoys Dmitri and Tati
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:23:21 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, puppies do love to chew.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:23:24 PM EDT] <revanne> Me too
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:23:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:23:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Next Friday will be Dmitri's and my 10th anniversary
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:23:52 PM EDT] <derynifank> i do it with strawberries, blueberries, and bananas
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:23:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> congrats
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:24:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> That long?!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:24:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And my 4th anniversary with Tati
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:24:01 PM EDT] <KK> Fortunately, none of my dogs were/are chewers.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:24:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Happy anniversary, Dmitri and Shiral
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:24:09 PM EDT] <revanne> Happy anniversary for Friday
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:24:20 PM EDT] <derynifank> Happy annigrocery as my grandson used to sa
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:24:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Zoom chat next week?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:24:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> July 31st is a pretty significant date in my life--it's also the day I learned my offer had been accepted on my Condo
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:24:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A good day indeed
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:24:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> good date
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:25:01 PM EDT] <KK> Maybe because I used to give Oswald and Booker marrow bones, and then Warner, too. Can't get marrow bones anymore. I know cows still have bones, but they must be using them for something else.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:25:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> very good
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:25:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> You can get them at a feed store.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:25:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri is a little mellower with age. But he likes to join Zoom chats, but likes to lie on either my mouse pad or the computer keyboard. Both of which make typing difficult
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:25:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> My feed store sells them
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:26:03 PM EDT] <revanne> Cassie only ever chewed furniture when DH was in hospital and I couldn't scold her, she was worried poor pup
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:26:15 PM EDT] <KK> Booker now gets an enzyme/rawhidy chew after supper. Vet recommended them, to help keep teeth clean. He loves them, and chews on them ferociously for about 10 minutes. Then it's gone.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:26:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> Poor puppy
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:26:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She appointed herself his nurse when he got to come home from hospital, yes, revanne?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:26:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> at least they last 10 minuts
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:26:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Our Sheltie also loved rawhide sticks.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:27:12 PM EDT] <revanne> Absolutely DR
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:27:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cassie is a good pup.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:27:45 PM EDT] <KK> Not cooked bones, Laurna. I used to get raw ones in the grocery store, and had the butcher cut them into thirds. The boys loved them. And we had accumulated enough bones to assemble a cow, by the time they disappeared from the market.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:27:57 PM EDT] <revanne> And she loves cuddling up to him now but we have to be careful because of his colostomy bag.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:28:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL at the cow assembly
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:28:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Such a sweet doggie.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:28:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is funny KK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:28:31 PM EDT] <revanne> That's a bit if an unnerving image KK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:28:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> Cassie looks like a good cuddly bug
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:28:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Halloween cow
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:28:48 PM EDT] <KK> I gathered up the last of them only a few months ago, and took them to the landfll. Bones are heavy!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:28:52 PM EDT] <revanne> She is
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:29:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I always have one or the other of my cats in my lap when I watch TV in the evening
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:29:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is there a picture of Cassie?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:29:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I wish Evie were here; I mentioned Balance of Power to DoctorM on the forum and was inspired to re-read it. Such a good story.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:29:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Must have felt good to get rid of that particular load, KK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:29:59 PM EDT] <revanne> I don't think so Bee, I must post one.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:30:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> I saw her on Face book. Is Cassie a black lab?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:30:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, DR, an excellent story
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:30:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> :]
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:30:31 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, yes. And every time I take another load of stuff out of the house, it's like a great weight is lifted. Will probably go to the landfill this week.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:30:48 PM EDT] <KK> And I have LOTS of packages to go in the mail.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:30:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is a lot of stuff
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:31:01 PM EDT] <revanne> She is a cross between a Springer Spaniel and a retriever but looks like a lab when her coat has been clipped
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:31:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> I like books KK.; Hint Hint
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:31:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> revanne, when you get a moment, upload a pic of Cassie to the Fur Kids gallery.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:31:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Please.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:31:35 PM EDT] <revanne> Will do.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:31:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Forgot my manners, there.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:31:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> I didn't see springer spaniel in her. Love springers.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:31:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I liked the picture of Cassie waiting at the bottom of the steps to make sure you remembered to take her on vacation with you
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:31:57 PM EDT] <revanne> No worries
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:32:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Feels good to make progess. I still have that big Clothespin with "A cluttered desk is the mark of genius." And Totoro sis on the bookshelf above my desk
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:32:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My grandfather loved Springer Spaniels, too.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:32:44 PM EDT] <revanne> I'm beginning to look round the Vicarage and see how much we will have to get rid of when I retire.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:32:46 PM EDT] <Laurna> my motto too Shiral
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:32:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I spent a little time today rearranging my room (slightly, moved a few smallish things around) and found some stuffed animals, two of which I'd forgotten I had, LOL.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:33:01 PM EDT] <KK> I have a totoro in the guest bedroom and a flying monkey looking down on me at my desk.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:33:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Beware the flying monkeys
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:33:52 PM EDT] <bynw> hehehe
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:33:56 PM EDT] <KK> When do you think you'll retire, Revanne?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:34:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I have a Paper Machet Angel who was a gift from my late grandmother flying over my desk. I remember the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz used to scare me
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:34:27 PM EDT] <bynw> https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php/topic,2092.msg24340.html#msg24340 <--- flying monkey's in this post
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:34:33 PM EDT] <KK> Scott waned one, so this is a Jim Shore one; and now it's mine. :-)
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:34:41 PM EDT] <Laurna> I have 6 stuffed animals looking down at me right now. A dragon, a purple lizard, a griffon, a lion and a rhinoceros.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:35:10 PM EDT] * bynw has a bunch of elephants on his desk and some starwars ships
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:35:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Four dragons in my office
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:35:14 PM EDT] <Laurna> oh forgot the Cavielar and the pink puppy too
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:35:14 PM EDT] <revanne> I'm thinking February but DH is deteriorating so badly dementia wise I might not even get that far :-(
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:35:30 PM EDT] <KK> Those are scary flying monkeys, bynw! Mine is blue, and wearing a little bolero jacket, like in the book.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:35:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I have a lot of mouse finger puppets. Also a squirrel, a raccoon and a bob cat. The bobcat's name is Yavapai because I got him in Yavapai County Arizona
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:35:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear, revenne!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:35:53 PM EDT] <derynifank> So sorry to hear that Revanne
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:35:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dementia is very hard to deal with. =o(
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:36:17 PM EDT] <revanne> Too many traumas, his op and now this bleep bleep pandemic.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:36:21 PM EDT] <KK> So sorry, Revanne. Do you think you'll be able to make it through Christmas?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:36:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> It seems no of us are too afraid of growing up. we still like what we like.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:36:41 PM EDT] <revanne> I hope so KK but not sure.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:37:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Growing up is a tad overrated, but sometimes necessary nonetheless
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:37:15 PM EDT] <derynifank> Will be praying for both of you
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:37:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> You're only young once but you can be immature forever. For months I had a row of teddy bears in my front window this spring. =o)
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:37:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> So sorry Revanne. Wishing you both lots of love
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:37:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> better than the alternative
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:37:30 PM EDT] <revanne> He c
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:37:32 PM EDT] <KK> I's hard to be sure, with what he's got going on. But my prayers are with you and him.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:37:58 PM EDT] <revanne> Thank you - we still manage to laugh.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:38:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I hope you can hold on for a while yet, Revanne.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:38:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The stuffed toys and doll. I had forgotten I had the tiny teddy bear and the stuffed black cat. https://imgur.com/a/Kt7Sj9S
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:38:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Laughter is a good medicine
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:38:14 PM EDT] <Laurna> that is the best medicine
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:38:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We'll be thinking of you and DH, Revanne.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:38:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Always holding you, DH, and the family up, revanne.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:38:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I wish laughter worked on Coronavirus!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:38:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> Cute DR
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:38:45 PM EDT] <revanne> It's frustrating because I love what I do but it is what it is.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:38:57 PM EDT] <revanne> Me too Shiral
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:39:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's tough being torn between two loves. <3
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:39:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I lost my bear collection when I had to move years ago.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:39:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Nothing is ever that simple.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:39:27 PM EDT] <revanne> At least we have a home ready to go to
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:39:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is how I feel. I love what I do. but I can no longer do it in the setting that I am in. I hope next year will change for the better.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:39:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I think we are all hanging on to that hope, Laurna
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:39:57 PM EDT] <KK> You're good at what you do, too. It's tough, watching someone you love slide slowly toward the end.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:39:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That's a big stress factor taken care of at least, Revanne
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:40:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Y'all are going to stay at the cottage when you retire, revanne?
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:40:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My stepmother kept my father at home with her for longer than she should have.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:40:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> BRB. Melantha wants attention.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:40:37 PM EDT] <derynifank> Happy that you have a home to go to.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:40:51 PM EDT] <revanne> Yes,DH knows it so he won't be totally list.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:41:05 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is good
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:41:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That is good, revenne.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:41:20 PM EDT] <revanne> Lost even. I don't have a list of DHs
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:41:28 PM EDT] <KK> lol
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:41:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:41:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> lol
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:41:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My stepdad's vision is going, and I'm hoping he'll have the sense to stop driving soon, because I REALLY don't want to have the "You can't see well enough to drive, so no more driving" conversation with him (Mom and the Pod-Child and I may have to gang up on him) if we don't have to do it.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:41:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well I would tend to hope not, Revanne. Even if having multiple spouses might help with practical matters.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:42:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, no, no lists!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:43:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Unless it's a grocery list.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:43:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> you can have lists of children but not spouses.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:43:40 PM EDT] <KK> Or minute things to do--minute, so that you can cross off more things as you accomplish them.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:43:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, Elizabeth Taylor had a list of husbands.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:43:52 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:43:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> She sure did.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:44:10 PM EDT] <revanne> Me stopping DH driving was really hard and made him very cross but there wasn't really a choice. But now he sees things that aren't there even he admits it's a good idea.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:44:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Some more than once
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:44:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A REAL triumph of hope over experience
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:44:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> It is good that he is understanding.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:44:53 PM EDT] <derynifank> She actually had 8
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:45:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, that's why I'm hoping not to have to do that with my stepdad. It will definitely make him say a LOT of cuss words.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:45:03 PM EDT] <Laurna> That many.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:45:18 PM EDT] <revanne> Worse than Henry VIII
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:45:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yeah, you want the driver to be able to see where they're going and be able to process information
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:45:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> At least she didn't behead any of hers, though!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:45:35 PM EDT] <KK> I think men find it harder to give up driving than women do. I didn't have to have that battle with my mom; she got rid of her car because she wasn't driving it often enough to keep the battery charged.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:45:40 PM EDT] <derynifank> A couple were repeats. I know she married Richard Burton twice
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:45:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I don't think she beheaded any of her husbands, though
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:45:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, Jerusha!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:45:52 PM EDT] <revanne> And not see things that aren't there!!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:46:08 PM EDT] <KK> My dad should have given up driving sooner, but at least he never had an accident; only scared us a few times.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:46:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> My dad's car sits in his garage with a dead battery and flat tire, but he will not part with it
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:46:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> In one way I'm relieved the Pandemic prevents my mother from driving all over the place, even if she's feeling very bored and restless. But she can't go to plays or concerts or her poetry class. She's a good driver with decent eye-sight, but sometimes I worried she drove too far while tired.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:46:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't know; I'd be pretty cranky not to be able to drive any more. I *hope* I'd be sensible about my fitness to drive (my grandmother set a good example there), but I'd be cranky.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:47:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh I definitely would be grumpy about the lost freedom
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:47:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> agreed
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:47:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys says Hi and purrs at everyone.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:47:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello to Carys
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:47:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Carys
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:47:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My dad was planning to give up driving when he died.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:47:49 PM EDT] * Laurna pets Carys
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:47:55 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, it isn't the loss of the car, it's the loss of freedom. Thank God that Scott never had to face that.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:47:59 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi Carys, scritches for you
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:48:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Tati is curled up asleep under my desk. For some reason, she loves it down there.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:48:10 PM EDT] <revanne> I think it's easier over here because there is more public transport
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:48:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hope Scott can drive as much as he likes in the Apres Vie, KK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:48:50 PM EDT] <derynifank> The availability of public transport really does make it easier
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:49:00 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, in a Blower Bentley, or whatever other exotic car his heart desired!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:49:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> With a dog along for company =o)
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:49:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> Right now however, do you really want to get on public transport. I like my own car
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:49:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Good point
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:49:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We have public transit here in Boston, even if people complain about it.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:49:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, yes. RIght now being around other people is anxious making
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:49:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Once you stop driving, you need some kind of support network
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:49:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> I like Bentley's
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:50:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Although being away from people all the time is lonely
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:50:17 PM EDT] <revanne> Well true, Laurna, but I'd always rather go by train than drive any distance.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:50:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I never got a driver's license: I flunked driving lessons.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:50:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> you have nice trains and nice country side to look at.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:50:47 PM EDT] <KK> It's good to have the critters to talk to, even if they don't much reply. Well, Gus does, but we really aren't speaking the same language.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:50:55 PM EDT] <derynifank> I love trains. Wish we had a better rail network. Much better than driving
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:51:01 PM EDT] <revanne> Lol
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:51:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The one time I was in Rome, I shared a taxi with some fellow travelers. On my way back out to the airport that evening, I took the TRAIN. it was much less scary than a Roman taxi
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:51:25 PM EDT] <revanne> To KK and Gus that is
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:51:41 PM EDT] <Laurna> I believe that, Shiral
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:52:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> They pulled our passenger train service a couple of years ago, and now the air service is shut down as well
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:52:08 PM EDT] <KK> I was going to take my mother's ashes down to Atlanta, to scatter them at Stone Mountain, which she loved. Now, though, I may end up sending them to a priest friend who lives there, and asking her to do the honors.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:52:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That driver must have been descended from a charioteer
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:52:46 PM EDT] <revanne> Hope that works well, KK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:53:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> I have ridden in a very similar taxi.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:53:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Just now with travel being so risky, it's probably the better idea, KK
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:53:36 PM EDT] <revanne> I had to help DD2 move back to London a couple of weeks ago and that was SCARY!!!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:53:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I guess if you're not aggressive in Roman traffic, you don't get very far. But I was SO glad to get out of the taxi!
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:53:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> We still have dad's ashes. we were hoping to take a boat to Caralina and let them off at sea. but it is impossible to get the family to agree.
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:53:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It would be, revanne
[Sunday, July 26, 2020] [8:54:10 PM EDT] <KK> She'd do a fine job. But I'm not going to worry about it until I've got the house cleared and hopefully am moving to a new house. Think I may have found a good one.
