[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:03:07 PM EDT] <bynw> post- hand the endoscope on wednesday
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:03:10 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:03:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi KK
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:03:14 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:03:15 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:03:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> @DFK definitely!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:03:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello @KK
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:03:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We're talking about the weather, KK. and bynw's health.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:03:50 PM EDT] <KK> How's everyone this evening?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:04:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Not too bad, but will be really cold later. 🙂
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:04:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:04:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> nothing exiting.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:04:21 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi DR
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:04:29 PM EDT] <KK> Bynw, you doing better?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:04:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> How are you, @KK?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:04:33 PM EDT] * bynw is doing good as long as i can eat supper here without choking
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:04:49 PM EDT] <KK> Please don't do that--choke.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:05:22 PM EDT] <derynifank> What have they recommended for treatment bynw?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:05:22 PM EDT] <bynw> not my plan
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:05:23 PM EDT] * The_Bee usually only chokes on lima beans.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:06:08 PM EDT] <derynifank> No choking allowed bynw
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:06:10 PM EDT] <KK> I had a bookseller here this afternoon, looking at the books in various places in the house. He's coming back tomorrow, but will only be taking some of the books. Don't know what I'm going to do with all the fiction.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:06:27 PM EDT] <bynw> double dose of omeprazole 40mg everyday. once before breakfast and once again before supper to hopefully heal the ulcer in my esophagus
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:06:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> various authors or yours?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:06:54 PM EDT] <derynifank> Do you have to watch what you eat>
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:07:35 PM EDT] <bynw> have to make sure i chew carefully and wash everything down with plenty of fluids. but no restrictions other than my own tastes
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:07:41 PM EDT] <KK> Various authors, Bee. And he isn't interested in paperbacks at all.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:07:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> @KK are there space limitations, or are you just finally downsizing the things you don't really want after all these years?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:08:31 PM EDT] <derynifank> @kk any second hand bookstores in your are THAT take donations or swap for credit?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:08:53 PM EDT] <KK> Both, Bethane. I won't have room for all the books, and really don't need to keep the vast majority of them. Realistically, one doesn't reread a novel unless it's very, very good.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:09:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi derynifank. Sorry, was getting my supper together so I can eat and chat.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:09:23 PM EDT] <bynw> like ones written by that awesome author Katherine Kurtz
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:09:37 PM EDT] <KK> None of the secondhand bookstores are accepting books right now, because of pandemic. No library donations, either.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:09:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Church fairs or rummage sales may take donations.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:09:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Too true, bynw, too true...
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:10:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> post-pandemic
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:10:12 PM EDT] <derynifank> Some hospital volunteer groups take donations to distribte to patients
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:10:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Good idea, DFK
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:10:43 PM EDT] <KK> I can't wait until post-pandemic, Bee. I need to get these books out of here in the next couple of months.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:11:04 PM EDT] <The_Bee> hospitals, then.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:11:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> This is going to sound weird, but derynifank's idea gave me an idea; are there any inpatient psychiatric facilities near you? Having been a psych inpatient, I can tell you I personally would have LOVED to have more paperbacks in the common room. They mostly won't take hardbacks.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:11:37 PM EDT] <KK> I can check that, DR.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:11:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They won't let you bring your own hardback books, anyway, I guess because they could be used as a weapon.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:11:53 PM EDT] <derynifank> The VA hospitalin Salem might want them. The one here does take donations
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:12:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Throw the book at him!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:12:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> a whole new meaning
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:12:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, don't, because then you'll have every freaking employee on you, and one of them will have a needle full of Haldol.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:12:44 PM EDT] <KK> I can check the Salem angle, DF. My friend Martie's husband goes there, so I'm sure they can find out.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:13:29 PM EDT] <derynifank> They canet rid of germs using the UV lights
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:14:16 PM EDT] <KK> My books haven't been out of the house in years, so I doubt they have much in the way of germs.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:14:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The hospital won't know that, though; they'll probably do something to make sure, just in case and especially now.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:15:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Make the books wear masks so they won't catch covid.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:15:58 PM EDT] <KK> I'm sure they have ways of sanitizing things.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:16:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That reminds me of a thing some bookstores have been doing in recent years: Blind Date with a Book. The books are wrapped in brown paper with a very vague description written on the paper, so the customer can pick something they have a chance of liking.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:16:35 PM EDT] <KK> What an interesting concept.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:16:44 PM EDT] <bynw> that is
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:17:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Like, I personally wouldn't pick anything horror, but some people wouldn't pick a fantasy/spec-fic story.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:17:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi everyone
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:17:23 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:17:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:17:31 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Shiral
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:17:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> hello @Shiral
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:17:38 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi Shiral.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:17:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I prefer public libraries. The only books I buy are yours or Christmas presents.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:17:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> snaps fingers and produces gingerbread and mulled apple cider
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:17:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:18:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Libraries are indeed amazing. I've been giving my library card a heck of a workout lately.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:18:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Oooh, perfect treats for winter-acting weather! omnomnom
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:18:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> two weeks ago, the temps were in the 90's, here.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:19:00 PM EDT] <derynifank> We have a secondhand book store whee they sort books into groups, out them in boxes and pt them on the sidewalk in front of the store and people can pick them up for a quarter or half dollar
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:19:14 PM EDT] * DesertRose adds a hot-chocolate station.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:19:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My library doesn't let you come in, but you can request books and pick them up.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:19:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Nice! glug
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:20:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have a recipe I have yet to try, for hot chocolate in the slow cooker; I have yet to try it because I have yet to need to serve *that* much hot chocolate, but for a possible winter party.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:20:29 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hot chocolate sounds great as it is cold and rainy here
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:21:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Has anyone tried hot chocolate with cinnamon?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:21:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh yes!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:21:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> At my library, we've opened up for lobby service. We have three tables of adult and teen materials and three tables for children's stuff. Before we opened, we were doing book bundles to get some books out the door as our bookshelves were overflowing. Now, when people can choose from our display items, they're STILL asking for book bundles. We have to keep telling them no, THIS is what we'd be putting into our bundles if we were sti
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:21:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's one of the ingredients in Mexican-style hot chocolate, Bee.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:21:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Mexican hot chocolate is very very good!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:22:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I like mint in hot chocolate.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:22:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My library is open at limited capacity, but I've been requesting my books online and going in only to pick up/return.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:22:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And borrowing via Hoopla, the e-reader app, in which case I don't need to go anywhere as long as I have my phone.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:24:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yeah. ANyone who wants a SPECIFIC thing has to put a hold on it. We're just trying to give them additional options without having to use up holds to get them.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:24:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm not keen on e-books. You can't curl up with a computer.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:24:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, but I can curl up with my phone pretty easily, and it's awfully handy in a doctor's office waiting room.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:24:58 PM EDT] <derynifank> But you can curl up with a tablet
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:25:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I've gotten used to them on my iPad and they're handy for vacation. But.....nobody can go much of anywhere, right now
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:25:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> In case it's not clear, I am Team Both re: e-books vs paper books.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:25:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> very convenient while the ol' man is sleeping in bed next to ya
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:25:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I still prefer books on paper.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:25:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, me too, Bee. It's just nice to have the option to do either.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:25:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Since both print and ebooks are readily available, use both!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:26:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Maybe if i had a tablet.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:26:24 PM EDT] <bynw> both kinds have their advantages and disadvantages. depends on what you are doing and such
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:26:47 PM EDT] <bynw> yes i too prefer paper but ebooks are just fine too. i've read a few
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:26:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I know with Kindle, you can zoom in or out to make the text as big or small as you'd like, which is handy. I was showing my mom, even though her vision is better than it used to be. (Yay cataract surgery!)
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:27:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My aunt got one of the early Kindle devices because until she retired, she did a lot of traveling for work, and a Kindle/tablet takes up a lot less luggage space than physical books.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:27:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I still have my kindle around...somewhere. =o)
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:27:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hello Everyone!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:27:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've never had the actual device, just the Kindle and Hoopla apps on my phone. V. convenient.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:27:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:27:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:28:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:28:16 PM EDT] <bynw> hi jerusha
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:28:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello @Jerusha
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:28:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Got your PM Bynw.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:28:39 PM EDT] <KK> Neither of my tablets is working right now. Hopefully Cameron can sort them out at Christmas.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:28:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I do love my kindle
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:28:53 PM EDT] <bynw> i use the app for kindle or the web interface at amazon.com .... my wife has an actual kindle though
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:28:53 PM EDT] <derynifank> I like my kindle because I can read in bed with my husband asleep because they are backlit and I dont need the bedside lamp. Also if I am reading a long book which is heavy it is easier on the ereader
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:29:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What are you using right now, KK?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:29:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh, there you are, KK. Was wondering if you saw me coming and made a run for it. 😉
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:29:15 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi Jersha
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:29:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi DFK
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:29:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DFK
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:30:24 PM EDT] <KK> What for, Bee?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:30:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> for chatting with us.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:31:01 PM EDT] <KK> Desktop, by all means. Wouldn't know how to try it on my phone.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:31:26 PM EDT] <derynifank> Using my laptop
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:32:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Why do they call it a laptop when they warn you not to hold it in your lap?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:32:35 PM EDT] <KK> My little laptopo is also dead, and in need of replacing.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:32:55 PM EDT] <bynw> jerusha, good to know you got that PM. sure will be fun
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:33:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Desktop here. I really don't like using the laptop for an extended period of time because either my neck or my shoulders/arms will start hurting.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:33:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Fun has many definitions
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:33:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> With the desktop, I can have both the keyboard and the screen at reasonable levels.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:33:46 PM EDT] * bynw uses either a desktop/laptop/phone/tablet depending on where he is and what's going on during chat
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:33:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Laptops work pretty well if you have one of those adjustable stands
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:34:16 PM EDT] <KK> Horses for courses.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:34:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I have my laptop on my desk. Does that make it a desktop?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:34:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup, KK.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:34:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> My laptop sits on my computer desk, so is not a problem
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:34:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> mine too
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:35:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm a laptop fan. But I use my iPad for greater portability and also to read in bed.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:35:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My lap slopes down, so I prefer sitting at a table where I can have a level working surface
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:36:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Same here, Shiral. Either a table or a lap desk.

[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:36:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:36:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi TD
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:36:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> TD
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:36:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi TD
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:36:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 1hI td
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:36:38 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hello all!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:36:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> hello TD
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:36:49 PM EDT] <derynifank> I have a lapdesk and put my laptop on that. Seems to work pretty well
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:37:08 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi TD
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:37:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've done that a few times too, derynifank, with the laptop on the lap desk. I mostly use the lap desk to support my book while I sit decadently on my chaise longue and read with occasional feline interference, LOL.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:37:55 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Oh! Hi, Katherine,
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:38:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Makes it purr-sonal, DR
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:38:23 PM EDT] <KK> Hi.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:38:39 PM EDT] <derynifank> Felines don't interfere, they assist
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:38:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. And I can do nothing in this apartment without the Snoopervisor on duty.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:39:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, derynifank. I tell her I don't know who her daddy was, but I'm fairly sure he was a tom cat and not a glassmaker.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:39:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It was funny at our family Zoom meeting today. Usually I'm the one who has Dmitri nosing his way into my zoom square. Today, he's decided he's a bed cat, but my sister's cat was involving himself.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:39:27 PM EDT] <bynw> hi TD
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:39:41 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> 'ello Sire
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:39:50 PM EDT] <KK> At least this is not the time of year for Flat Cats.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:40:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Nope. Mine are all 3-D again.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:40:17 PM EDT] <KK> Or is it still hot in the Bay Area, Shiral?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:40:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys invades most of my video chats. At absolute minimum, she's on the back of the chair behind my head, and she frequently walks across the screen so people see Tabby Cat Side.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:40:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We're actually having a chilly spell here. Cold winds off the Pacific from Alaska. But unfortunately, we're in a period of high fire danger until possibly Tuesday because it's windy and dry
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:41:03 PM EDT] <bynw> Shiral, the cats are part of the family too. they want to participate
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:41:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That reminds me of the story about the Muslim family who got a prayer rug for their cat so he would stay off their rugs during prayer times.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:41:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, although my sister's cat doesn't show his face very often. Today he was showing his face his side and his er....other end.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:41:46 PM EDT] <KK> BRB. Booker has raised the alarm.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:41:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How close are the fires to you, shiral?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:41:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cat butt.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:41:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Winter Storm Billy got you too, eh Shiral?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:42:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Right at the moment, not very close Bee.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:42:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, Bethane
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:42:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Where are you located
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:42:27 PM EDT] <derynifank> And would you believe another hurricane in the gulf!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:42:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Utah. Gonna be 14 degrees here tonight
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:42:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL about the cat. Wonder if the cat is feeling more devout with his/her own prayer rug?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:42:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I know! Enough already with the weather.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:43:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> after epsilon?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:43:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Okay, we're not that chilly, here. But I'm wearing a longer sleeved shirt than I have all summer
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:43:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Zeta
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:43:14 PM EDT] <derynifank> Yup, zeta
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:43:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Story: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10160053472569392&set=gm.1746125328887755&type=3&theater&ifg=1
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:43:39 PM EDT] <bynw> hey its now freezing out (32F) what fun
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:43:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I'm in sweatshirts and sweaters
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:44:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We're below that, Bynw
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:44:04 PM EDT] <KK> I'm back. False alarm.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:44:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I HOPE zeta is not the end of the greek alphabet.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:44:07 PM EDT] <bynw> and i get snow tonight (3rd snow for october)
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:44:27 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Well, the NASCAR race is in a rain delay.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:44:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We'll have flurries
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:44:41 PM EDT] <bynw> i'm sure you are Jerusha but you are in Canada, it's kinda expected
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:44:44 PM EDT] <KK> Another hurricane. Great. Not.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:44:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'll just have furries.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:45:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> The great white north. sigh
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:45:26 PM EDT] <bynw> take off!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:45:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We're just hoping some new awful fire won't start in these dangerous fire conditions
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:45:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> wARM FURRIES, sHIRAL?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:45:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh yes
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:46:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The A key is too close to the caps lock.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:46:54 PM EDT] <derynifank> So true
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:47:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, please, no more fires. Or hurricanes. Enough already.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:47:59 PM EDT] <KK> And California has given Colorado some of its fires. Strange.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:48:40 PM EDT] <KK> It's 45 here.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:48:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We had orange skies from the Colorado fires earlier this week
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:49:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> 77 F here.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:49:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Very strange, and Halloweeny
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:49:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Here in New England we've had haze from the California fires.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:49:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> DR, how cold are y'all expected to get tonight?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:50:38 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> 48 F here
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:51:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 52 F here
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:51:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We had a day of orange skies in September. Weird atmospheric combination with wind and smoke from the Oregon and Washington fires that day.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:52:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Kept expecting Godzilla to turn up. He didn't, but it was the kind of day when you thought it was at least possible
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:52:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> 69 F for the overnight low.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:52:45 PM EDT] <KK> That's cool for Florida.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:52:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's not supposed to cool off worth anything here in Florida until the end of the week/next weekend.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:53:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, I'm in north Florida, too, KK. It's probably warmer down in Key West. (A childhood friend of mine lives there, the chaplain.)
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:55:22 PM EDT] <KK> I think it was coolish in Hialeah, where my aunt lives. Lots of rain, too.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:56:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Today during our family Zoom, my brother and his wife were sitting INDOORS again, so I think it may have cooled off a bit in Tallahassee
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:56:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We were in drought conditions until the recent rain.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:57:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm ready to start sprinkling water on maps of California. We really could use some rain
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:58:02 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, what you had a couple of weeks ago didn't really do much good, did it?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:58:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Man, you poor Californians have really taken it in the shorts this year. Those fires...
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:58:35 PM EDT] <derynifank> Maybw you should talk to Dhugal and Mirjana
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:58:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I like this plan
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:59:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We need at least several DAYS of rain in a row, for a start
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:59:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm willing to even talk to Ariella!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [7:59:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Maybe we could find a way to harvest the moisture from Zeta and drop it, slowly and carefully, on the mountains out west so it can gently rain down for a while.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:00:08 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds like a plan.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:00:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We seem to simultaneously have too much and not enough.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:00:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Figure the entire council could make that happen?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:00:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> depends who's in charge
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:01:13 PM EDT] <KK> Something to think about. If the Council could all work together.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:01:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Heck, y'all out west can have all the freaking rain we've had for the last few months. It's not a lot on any given day; it's just been at least some almost every day since July.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:02:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Might be too much to ask....
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:02:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Wonder if Azim would at least be willing.... He always seems reasonable.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:03:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> and resourceful
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:03:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Arilan would probably scold for interfering with nature.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:03:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> @KK, I've been reading the Childe Morgan books lately, and they've got me wondering: If you could go back in time back to 1970 and rewrite the first trilogy based on what you know how about histories and characters you didn't know about back then, what would you do differently when writing the first books? Or would you change anything at all?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:05:42 PM EDT] <KK> I don't think I'd change much. Maybe dump the stenrect crawlers. ;-)
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:06:04 PM EDT] <bynw> my money would be on Ariella, she was really good with weather magic
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:06:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> and replace them with what to threaten Kelson?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:06:52 PM EDT] <bynw> the stenrect crawlers are wonderful creatures
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:07:01 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Murder Wasps
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:07:22 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> JK
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:07:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> No murder wasps! Yuk
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:07:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Ariella might try to drown California.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:07:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Maybe a nice juicy caradot
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:07:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> NO. No wasps of any sort.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:08:21 PM EDT] <bynw> Bee, there wouldnt be any fires then. problem solved
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:08:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A poisonous serpent would work, if Morgan needs to do any rescuing.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:08:42 PM EDT] <KK> Did you guys read about the mission to wipe out the next they found up in Washington? Brave guys!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:08:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> But they'd all have to learn to breathe water.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:08:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Next what?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:09:09 PM EDT] <KK> nest
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:09:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> My Gosh, they are brave!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:09:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I have thinking that I live on the ssame planet as those things
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:09:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> have = hate
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:09:27 PM EDT] <bynw> murder hornets ... they die with high heat 170 or so
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:09:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> FOlks we don't want to drown--we just want to get things DAMP so they don't catch fire so easily!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:09:50 PM EDT] Join jared (uid471005@owirc-m03062.irccloud.com) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:09:51 PM EDT] <KK> They also die if carbon dioxide is pumped into their tree next.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:09:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Which is why I said "harvest the rain from Zeta and drop it in a slow, controlled, careful fashion."
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:09:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jared!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:10:05 PM EDT] <KK> nest
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:10:10 PM EDT] <jared> Howdy, y'all!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:10:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jared
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:10:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Ariella would do whatever serves her interests, not yours.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:10:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> They die at 115°, which is why the Japanese honey bees heat them up to 117.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:10:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jared
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:10:29 PM EDT] <bynw> hi jared
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:10:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Jared
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:10:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> we need to import a boatload of Japanese honeybees
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:10:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello Jared
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello, Finially got my computer to work.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:03 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hi, Jared
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or find a way to teach North American honeybees to do the thing.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:06 PM EDT] <jared> How is everyone this evening?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Laurna!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:09 PM EDT] <KK> Have the Japanese honeybees evolved to raise their temperatures like that?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello Laurna
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:20 PM EDT] <derynifank> I thought honeybees died at lower temps than theasps
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How widespread are the murder wasps?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:23 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Laurna
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, KK, they surround the hornets and create a body-heat pocket around the hornet until it overheats and dies.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Laurna.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:46 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hey there, Laurna
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> I have alot of bees around my pond looking for water.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:11:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Like, a whole bunch of honeybees around one hornet.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:12:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> They surround the Asian hornet and make a little ball, and t hen vibrate their little bodies. Heats up the hornet and roasts him, but their survivable temperature is a little bit higher
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:12:02 PM EDT] <KK> Not too widespread. Yet. That's why they're beavering away to track down the nests and destroy them.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:12:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> what part of the country?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:12:48 PM EDT] <jared> I saw a bit earlier today with a bunch of folk in hornet-proof white suits trying to get them out of a tree in Oregon.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:12:49 PM EDT] <bynw> invasive species need to eradicate them before they gain a good foothold
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:12:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Northwest coast
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:13:01 PM EDT] <KK> How do the surrounding honeybees keep from getting their heads torn off while this is happening?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:13:28 PM EDT] <jared> The ones they trapped today were too young to go hunting, I guess.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:13:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> They ambush it
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:14:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Trigger warning (for wasps)
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:14:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> https://youtu.be/3P8svtzTRuI
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:14:48 PM EDT] * bynw isnt going to look at that video
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:14:58 PM EDT] <jared> Me, either
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:15:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> Not sure I want to either
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:15:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I don't need nightmares tonight
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:15:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> Shivers
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:15:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> There, removed. Easy to look up on Youtube, "asian hornets japanese bees"
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:15:38 PM EDT] <KK> What's amazing to me is that scientists managed to attach miniature tracking devices to 3 murder hornets, so they could follow them back to their nest. And they attached them with dental floss.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:15:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not me either. I am terrified of bees and wasps, but an ex told me that it doesn't as a phobia because it's not irrational since I'm allergic.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:15:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> wow
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:16:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I am not the one who will be tying that knot!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:16:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> agreed
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:16:29 PM EDT] <bynw> how does one do that ...
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:16:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Very carefully
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:16:44 PM EDT] <KK> Very carefully.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:16:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My therapist concurred, since part of the definition of a phobia is that the fear is not rational. It's pretty rational to be afraid of something that's apt to land you in the ER.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:17:05 PM EDT] <bynw> DR, yes that isn't a phobia then at all because of the rational fear.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:17:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am the same as you DR
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:17:11 PM EDT] <jared> I have never been stung by bees -- just wasps.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:17:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> me too
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:17:44 PM EDT] <KK> Got hit by a yellow jacket a few years ago. Wow, does that hurt!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:17:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My Epi-Pens go with me pretty much everywhere. Fortunately I haven't needed them, but if ever there were a case of "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it."
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:17:55 PM EDT] <derynifank> Don't want to be stung by any insect
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:17:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> I ended up in the hospital as a child. And 7 years ago I lost 6 dogs to a bee swarm. Sadiest day of my life.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:08 PM EDT] <bynw> wow
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh no, Laurna
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:16 PM EDT] <bynw> 6 dogs by a swarm
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Oh no! Sad!!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:23 PM EDT] <bynw> damn that is horrible
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Ack!!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:26 PM EDT] <bynw>
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:28 PM EDT] <KK> Six dogs at once, Laurna. How awful!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yikes!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose>
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:18:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ;(
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:19:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Did they step on a nest?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:19:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> It was Thanksgiven day. we came home from my moms. We had 2 dogs passed and 6 sick. Only 2 came home from the vets after a week of thereapy.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:19:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> 😭
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:19:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> I agree Shiral
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:19:59 PM EDT] <KK> So I guess you'll never know exactly what happened.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:20:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It's hard enough to lose ONE beloved animal, but six at once!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:20:32 PM EDT] <jared> That's horrid! Poor pups.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:20:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> The vet said it was good we were not home because if I had been stung, I would have been in the hospital. STILL Don't like bees
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:20:50 PM EDT] <jared> Poor Laurna!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:21:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sigh
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:21:41 PM EDT] <Laurna> The slider door was open and there were like a thousand dead bees on the carpet
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:21:58 PM EDT] <KK> What killed the bees?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:22:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I had some wasps that tried to build a nest on the underpart of the roof over my balcony. I bought a can of spray and soaked their nest. They haven't been back, the little buggers.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:22:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> Night time I think. or their stinging
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:22:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I think a honey bee dies when it stings something, KK.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:22:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Ouch, poor dogs
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:22:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Probably the stinging.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:22:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And yes, bees die when they sting.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:23:05 PM EDT] <KK> That's right. When bees sting, the stinger gets ripped out of their little bodies and they die. Not so with waspss and hornets.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:23:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> I don't like to think about it. So I don't mention it very often
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:23:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Except the queen
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:23:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I don't blame you. Give the existing puppies a good cuddle
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:23:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> offers Laurna ice cream to feel better
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:23:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> Thankyou Bethane
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:23:59 PM EDT] <bynw> that only happens to bees if they sting humans. not animals. due to how our skin was made
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:24:05 PM EDT] * DesertRose also directs Laurna to the gingerbread, cider, and hot chocolate on the tea table.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:24:14 PM EDT] <KK> Were the lost dogs Cavaliers, or something else?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:24:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> adds warm pumpkin cookies
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:24:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> is it gingerbread and cider season already. cool
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:24:31 PM EDT] * The_Bee promises not to sting any puppies or kittens.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:24:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Bee, please also try not to sting any allergic humans. I'll endeavor not to tick you off, in exchange.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:25:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Deal!
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:25:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> They were two Cavaliers. a momma and puppy. our old big dog mutt and 3 shihtzus older
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:25:45 PM EDT] * KK shakes her head. How sad.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:26:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> The two to make it were the two younger shihtzues and 5 of the other cavalier puppies who were in a different room
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:26:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> Both my sisters dogs and mine were in the house together
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:27:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Enough of that. So I will have to read what I missed in chat earlier. KK any new of the anthology
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:27:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> news
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:28:52 PM EDT] <KK> Getting the contracts in order. Still haven't read anything yet.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:29:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Any ideas about your own story? =o)
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:29:23 PM EDT] <KK> A few.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:29:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Looking forward to it
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:29:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> Exciting

[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:31:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If it works for your schedule, yup.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:31:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I was working on a longer piece, but I'm not satisfied with it.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:31:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Might e late for zoom next week. It's GS3's first birthday
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:31:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, that's the bummer of it; the time change is the night before.
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:31:50 PM EDT] <KK> So, what time will it be, with the time change in effect?
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:31:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, at least at this end, we get the extra hour to sleep
[Sunday, October 25, 2020] [8:31:55 PM EDT] <jared> Have a good week, Katherine!
