[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:04:25 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Hi y'all.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:04:29 PM EST] <The_Bee> HI kk
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:04:45 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:04:55 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> What channel?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:05:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:05:26 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Desert Rose.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:05:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> A lot of us are in IRC, WindyCat, but the Eris bot transmits between.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:06:11 PM EST] <KK> I'm on Mibbit, for whatever that's worth.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:06:15 PM EST] <bynw> WindyCat, the channel is #Deryni_destinations on IRC (irc.otherworlders.org)

[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:07:11 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi Bee and bynw
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:07:13 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Ok. I've never used IRC. I'll just read hear tonight.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:07:44 PM EST] <KK> You're coming through loud and clear, WindyCat.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:07:52 PM EST] <bynw> you can participate here too WindyCat ... that's what Eris is for ... it relays the two services together
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:07:53 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:07:59 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> 👍
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:08:05 PM EST] <KK> Hi, DF.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:08:07 PM EST] <derynifank> Welcome windycat
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:08:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi derynifank.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:08:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> As long as I can get into the chat room, I don't worry about how I got here.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:08:48 PM EST] <bynw> that's the best way of looking at it Bee
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:09:03 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, don't care what it's called, as long as it works.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:09:10 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi DR
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:10:07 PM EST] <derynifank> Is it still raining where you are?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:10:13 PM EST] <KK> What's everyone been up to?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:10:38 PM EST] <KK> No rain here until Wednesdayish.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:10:47 PM EST] * bynw has been enjoying the warmer weather (low 70s this past week)
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:10:59 PM EST] <derynifank> Trying to work on a fanfic story
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:11:15 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, you've had some....interesting weather, haven't you?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:11:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> very little. My church had a musical program after the service. Lovely flluting
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:11:44 PM EST] <derynifank> DR are you getting anyrain from the hurricane?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:11:45 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Reading and consuming massive amounts of chocolate.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:11:45 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)>
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:11:45 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> No rain here either till Wednesday,
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:11:47 PM EST] <KK> You've got live church now?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:11:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> mild weather for several days
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:12:01 PM EST] <DesertRose> Chocolate is good.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:12:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> No, via ZOOM
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:12:13 PM EST] <KK> Where are you, WindyCat?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:12:30 PM EST] <DesertRose> I noticed a few hours ago that I still have a slice or two of chocolate cake in my freezer, and I was considering thawing some.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:12:35 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Raleigh
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:12:47 PM EST] <KK> Sounds like a plan, DR.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:12:47 PM EST] <derynifank> We do have in person worship following all the guidelines but with the numbers going up am still watching online
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:12:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> The minister recorded his sermon before he knew the election results.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:12:50 PM EST] <bynw> the church we attened has had live services for about a month or so now. but they've always had an online presence for years. so it wasn't anything they had to figure out suddenly
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:13:26 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Nothing chocolate lasts long enough here to make it to the freezer!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:13:36 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:13:38 PM EST] <bynw> LOL
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:14:28 PM EST] <DesertRose> This is a cake called Tunnel of Fudge, and it would take a SERIOUS chocoholic (or a crowd of more than my four-person immediate family) to demolish the whole cake with any speed.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:14:32 PM EST] <derynifank> Did you see Jerusha's birthday red dragon made of chocolate. Yumm
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:14:44 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I come from a long line of chocoholics.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:14:47 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yes, that is gorgeous.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:15:03 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is there a pic?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:15:08 PM EST] <DesertRose> It is VERY rich, and very chocolate-y.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:15:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> On the forum, Bee, in Jerusha's birthday thread.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:15:34 PM EST] <derynifank> Very impressive
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:15:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> Thanks. I'll check it out later.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:15:56 PM EST] <KK> Did Jerusha make the red dragon cake, or someone else?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:16:19 PM EST] <derynifank> Laurna posted it
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:16:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:16:44 PM EST] <KK> The uttering of her name summomed her!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:16:45 PM EST] <derynifank> And there is the birthday girl
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:16:51 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha. Happy belated birthday
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:16:53 PM EST] <bynw> looks like its not a cake but sculpted from chocolate. would have to ask Laurna where it came from
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:16:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:17:03 PM EST] <bynw> Happy Birthday Jerusha
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:17:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> A candy dragon.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:17:20 PM EST] <derynifank> It is sculpted from chocolate
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:17:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Thank you for the birthday wishes
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:17:27 PM EST] <KK> Wow.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:17:33 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Happy birthday.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:17:38 PM EST] <bynw> chat on your birthday ... that's a good present
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:17:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A dragon sculpted from chocolate. Be still my heart....
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:17:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> Appropriate, for shortly after Halloween. I think a lot of people are "chocolate dragons" (i.e. sitting on a hoard of chocolate) this time of year.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:18:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Indeed it is, Bynw
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:18:23 PM EST] <KK> Quite possibly so, DR.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:18:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> Does it breathe fire when the candles are lit?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:18:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh, I hope so!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:18:44 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Lol
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:18:52 PM EST] <derynifank> Oooh, a hoard of chocolate
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:18:52 PM EST] <DesertRose> One of my local friends posted a pic to her Facebook of several pieces of candy her son had left on the kitchen table with a note reading, "Mom tax."
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:18:57 PM EST] <KK> Alas, I suspect it would melt if candles were lit.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:19:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> (Right after Halloween.)
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:19:24 PM EST] <KK> I like Mom Tax.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:19:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Mom tax is good
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:20:07 PM EST] <DesertRose> This was her middle child, who is nothing if not polite. That kid could be presented to Queen Elizabeth and not be ashamed.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:20:19 PM EST] <bynw> if you are a mom it's good ... otherwise for the kid it's bad
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:20:49 PM EST] <DesertRose> To be clear, her son wrote the note; he was sharing his Halloween goodies.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:21:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> good for him
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:21:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Pay the tax or it's off to bed!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:22:23 PM EST] <KK> Kid was brought up right!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:23:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yes. Yes, he is. (He's only eleven or so, so he's still being brought up. But his older brother and younger sister are also good kids.)
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:24:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> a true Southern Gentleman
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:24:32 PM EST] <DesertRose>
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:24:41 PM EST] <KK> Kudos to Mom!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:24:51 PM EST] <derynifank> and Dad
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:25:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup. Both parents are very hands-on with the kids, which is a good bit of why they're good kids.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:26:52 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hands-on as in, "paying attention to and deeply involved with day-to-day life."
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:26:55 PM EST] <KK> Well, my big news from the week is that I bought a lovely electric fireplace unit for my new great room, to be delivered on Dec. 7, after the house closes. Should balance out my big bookcase nicely.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:27:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sounds wonderful!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:27:17 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, yay! I love those. They look so pretty.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:27:20 PM EST] <bynw> thats cool. nice to have a fireplace
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:27:34 PM EST] <derynifank> Sounds lovely, a warm fire and a good book
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:27:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Our propane fireplace heats most of the cottage
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:28:03 PM EST] <KK> Of course, I'll have far fewer bookshelves in the new house, since there are two roomsful in the present house, so major culling must be done, and has already been done.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:28:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We got rid of tons of books when we downsized
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:28:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And we still probably have too many
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:28:58 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello everyone. Love electric fireplaces. they are warm and pretty and not a fire hazzard
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:29:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Laurns
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:29:11 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:29:17 PM EST] <Laurna> You can never have too many books
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:29:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Laurna, I meant
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:29:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Laurna.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:29:27 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello, Happy Birthday Jerusha
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:29:41 PM EST] <DesertRose> I tend to concur that the problem is properly phrased "not enough shelf space."

[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:29:53 PM EST] <derynifank> Loved that dragon. Where did you find it?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:29:54 PM EST] <Laurna> True
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:29:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Thank you, Laruna
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:30:01 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I need to downsize, but I have too many well loved books to know where to start.

[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:30:42 PM EST] <KK> In these times, it's a challenge to find homes for them. I have a book dealer coming tomorrow to take away several boxes full, but must investigate other options as well. Libraries aren't taking donations during the pandemic.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:30:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I got rid of all my old textbooks, then moved on to the books I knew I would not read again
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:31:03 PM EST] <derynifank> I have a freind who did major culling of books when she and her husband moved. I think they now have more than they did then
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:31:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> No one takes old textbooks
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:31:35 PM EST] <Laurna> from pinterest https://cakesdecor.com/cakes/132929-4ft-sculpted-dragon-chocolate-cake
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:31:38 PM EST] <KK> They tend to multiply, especially during times of stress. Good escape destinations.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:32:17 PM EST] <KK> Oh, my. Now, <that's> a dragoncake!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:32:21 PM EST] <derynifank> KK did you check with the hospital volunteer groups? A lot of them take books that they take around for patients to read
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:32:37 PM EST] <Laurna> I still have some text books from college but I did cull out most of those.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:33:02 PM EST] <KK> The nearby VA hospital has been suggested. And I'll also check with the two local hospitals.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:33:18 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I used to donate my old textbooks to UNICEF for schools overseas who could use them. It's been a few decades so I don't know if they're still doing that.

[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:33:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear. Bee seems to be having connection issues
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:33:48 PM EST] <Laurna> Once upon a time I tried to cull out the Si fi books that I did not like. It was only one small box worth. Did not down size at all.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:33:50 PM EST] <derynifank> Bee seems to be having trouble with her connection
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:33:57 PM EST] <bynw> change your nick Bee it's a generic one right now :0

[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:34:23 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I've heard shelters will sometimes take unwanted books.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:35:09 PM EST] <bynw> i get up for a minute to help my wife with something and the cat takes over my office chair
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:35:18 PM EST] <KK> All these places might take the fiction. I doubt there will be much interest in history books--popular history, not textbooks.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:35:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It is her right....
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:35:48 PM EST] <Laurna> I love historical fashion books KK. I would happily pay the shipping and handling and more too.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:36:16 PM EST] <bynw> looks like you just found a place for the books KK
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:36:19 PM EST] <KK> I have some of those, Laurna. Will see what I can find. :-)
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:37:17 PM EST] <Laurna> I love to collect fashion books and how to sew things. and if I already have the book I have a zillon costume friends who to share them with.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:37:26 PM EST] <derynifank> The cat probably thought it was about time yougot out of his chair
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:38:02 PM EST] <KK> Some of them, at least, Bynw.

[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:38:31 PM EST] <KK> Anybody interested in Shirley Temple books or DVDs or dolls?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:38:32 PM EST] <Laurna> hello Bee
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:38:35 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> If any of those are Medieval English history I'm interested.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:38:37 PM EST] <bynw> wb bee, do you need chat glue?

[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:39:13 PM EST] <derynifank> Where is that glue?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:39:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or duct tape
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:39:54 PM EST] <bynw> looks like she is just closing the browser by the quit message
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:39:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Duct tape is often better. Wrap around the chatter and the stem on the d in ircd
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:40:03 PM EST] <Laurna> I have to tell you what my puppies did at 3am this morning.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:40:17 PM EST] <bynw> oh what did puppies do at 3am?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:40:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> What did they do?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:40:20 PM EST] <KK> At 3am?!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:40:30 PM EST] <derynifank> What did they do?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:40:38 PM EST] <bynw> at least that would be 6am for you KK when it's 3am for Laurna
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:40:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> At 3, it better have been super cute
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:40:52 PM EST] <Laurna> It is raining and it is cold and theydon't want to go outside. but I did try to make them before going to bed. Well at 3 am I woke up with a horrid smell and a buzzing sound
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:41:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh no!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:41:09 PM EST] <derynifank> Oh no
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:41:11 PM EST] <bynw> oh my
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:41:15 PM EST] <Laurna> I searched the house an the smell was getting worse. I turned on the lights.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:41:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Drum roll....
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:41:32 PM EST] <Laurna> And there was smoke in the middle of my library room
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:41:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Smoke?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:41:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> ...
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:41:43 PM EST] <bynw> smoke in a library is not good
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:41:59 PM EST] <Laurna> They had peed on the electric cord that went to the vacume and ithad caught on fire
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> ACK!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:10 PM EST] <KK> Argh!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> All turned out well?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> Smoke anywhere but a fireplace, a candle, or an incense burner is not good.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:24 PM EST] Join The_Bee (The_Bee@owirc-3qk.arb.61.73.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:39 PM EST] <derynifank> Oh my!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:47 PM EST] * DesertRose pulls out the super glue and glues Bee's feet to the chat room floor.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:48 PM EST] <Laurna> A quick unplugging and stamping it out took care of that. But then I could not sleep the rest of the night.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:53 PM EST] <Laurna> Stupid puppies.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Puppies are too young to smoke!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not the right sprinkler system
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:42:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> I coould see, but I couldn't type.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:43:02 PM EST] <derynifank> Did your smoke alarm go off?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:43:22 PM EST] <Laurna> No it was not that much smoke. it had just started.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:43:34 PM EST] <KK> I guess not. Fires, even stomped out, are not conducive to sleeping soundly--thank God!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:43:38 PM EST] <The_Bee> PUPPIES SMOKING IN BED!?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:43:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Good that you woke up when you did
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:43:52 PM EST] <Laurna> So now nothing is left on the floor that can get wet.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:43:57 PM EST] <bynw> fires in libraries arent good either
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:44:10 PM EST] <derynifank> Thank goodness no real damage
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:44:10 PM EST] <Laurna> and the puppies are locked in the back room only
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:44:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And puppies will go outside before bed!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:44:19 PM EST] <KK> No. Think of the library at Alexandria.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:44:38 PM EST] <KK> Yes, puppies WILL go out before bed, even if it's raining.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:44:50 PM EST] <bynw> fortunately the library of Laurna didnt follow that example
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:44:52 PM EST] <derynifank> I hate to think what was lost in that fire
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:45:08 PM EST] <KK> One of the great world tragedies.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:45:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Too much was lost in that fire
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:45:28 PM EST] <The_Bee> Remind me--who was the guy that ordered the burning?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:45:39 PM EST] <bynw> we will never know without technology to see through time or travel through time
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:46:40 PM EST] <Laurna> I believe this is the first rain the puppies have encountered. and they don't know what to do about it.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:47:00 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> How old are they?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:47:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, one other place that smoke is okay. A gas stove or a grill or other cooking-over-flame implement.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:47:06 PM EST] <Laurna> 7 months
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:47:41 PM EST] <DesertRose> They're lucky they're cute, Laurna. I'd have been cussing up a storm upon finding something like that.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:47:57 PM EST] <Laurna> The are english dogs, you would think that rain would be in there genitics. but no, they are lap dogs and never go outside in cold weather.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:48:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi all
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:48:23 PM EST] <DesertRose> They've lived in southern California all their lives; rain is new and weird to them.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:48:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:48:26 PM EST] <bynw> hi Shiral
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:48:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:48:30 PM EST] <Laurna> HiShiral
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:48:42 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:48:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> provides a big old pot of hot tea and scones
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:49:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Now what would they do with snow?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:49:09 PM EST] * DesertRose sets out banana bread, which I should make for real soon.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:49:16 PM EST] <Laurna> Yes please replenish my hot tea, thank you
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:49:27 PM EST] <bynw> hmmmm banana bread
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:49:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Love scones
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:49:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> pours more tea for Laurna
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:49:48 PM EST] * The_Bee adds manchet bread with butter and honey
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:49:48 PM EST] <derynifank> Don't expect they will see snow in Southern Colifornia
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:49:53 PM EST] * bynw hops on the nearest Portal to Jacksonville when DR has her banana bread fresh out of the oven
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:49:54 PM EST] <Laurna> No idea. How did your cavalier like snow?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:50:06 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL, bynw.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:50:07 PM EST] <KK> hmmm, both banana bread and scones, the later with clotted cream and lemon curd.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:50:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Weirder things have happened, but probably not, DFK
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:50:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> He liked it, provided he didn't have to stay out too long
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:50:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> And the former with butter.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:50:43 PM EST] <Laurna> Actually they say it is snowing in Big Bear today
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:50:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> adds some shortbread
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:50:58 PM EST] * bynw notes there are about 11 frozen bananas in the freezer right now so banana bread should be something in the near future
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:51:10 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys says hi and purrs at everyone.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:51:12 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Hm, scones with clotted cream and strawberry preserves sound lovely.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:51:13 PM EST] <KK> You guys in the northwest are getting some weather, aren't you?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:51:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> He did tend to bring in ice-balls on his ears
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:51:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well the weather where I am is very chilly and windy. Feels appropriately Novemberish
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:51:42 PM EST] <Laurna> LOL. with those ears, I can imagine
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:52:06 PM EST] <Laurna> Too cold for my So Cal Blood
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:52:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> He tended to curl up over my feet and drip as it thawed
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:52:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Cloudy, so maybe we'll get a little rain
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:52:38 PM EST] <KK> Are your fires mostly drowned out by now?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:52:44 PM EST] <Laurna> I have four curled on my feet just now. but they are not in need of thawing. thankfully
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:53:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We haven't had any NEW fires, but I think there are still a few
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:56:04 PM EST] <Laurna> I have a question about the medieval great hall Banners displayed? If Corwyn displayed a huge pennant of the Corwyn Gryphon in the center back wall over the Dias. then where would the King's Pennant be displayed? To the right or left or above the Gryphon?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:56:08 PM EST] * The_Bee sets out flagons of cider, choice of cold or hot mulled.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:56:31 PM EST] <Laurna> Hot mulled please
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:56:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I assume when he is visiting?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:57:01 PM EST] * The_Bee pour Laurna hot mulled cider
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:57:10 PM EST] <Laurna> Thank you
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:58:04 PM EST] <derynifank> I thought the king's Pennant would be in the center and the Gryphon banner would be moved to one side
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:58:50 PM EST] <Laurna> Is that true in Coroth If the king is visiting? and what about when the king is not there. only the duke is there?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:58:52 PM EST] <KK> Whose hall was it? If Corwyn, that banner would take center stage. If the king's, then his banner.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:59:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> Do the Eleven Kingdoms have established and consistent rules about flag displaying?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [7:59:44 PM EST] <derynifank> But if the king is visiting then where does his banner go?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:00:32 PM EST] <bynw> jerusha, you have a direct/private message on discord (upper left corner) see it?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:00:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep, but wasn
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:01:05 PM EST] <KK> Probably in the place of honor to the right. It's still the duke's hall, even if the king is an honored guest.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:01:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> 't sure what it was. Will check.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:01:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> KK, I thought we were talking bout Coroth Castle.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:02:11 PM EST] <derynifank> We were. Just trying to figure out the hanging of the banners when the king is visiting
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:02:13 PM EST] <Laurna> To the right. Thank you. Would Derry's banner then be honored to the Left? as I believe he is Coroth's highest ranking knight.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:02:19 PM EST] <KK> ]Yes, that's the duke's castle.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:02:45 PM EST] <KK> Depends on who all else is there, and who is in residence, and a lot of things.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:03:05 PM EST] <Laurna> Makes since.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:03:14 PM EST] <Laurna> or sense
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:03:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> Whose left or right. from the POV of the audience, or of the high-born sitting on the dais?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:03:40 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> A lot like Order of Precedence?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:03:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I looked at the private message then almost booted myseff out of discord.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:04:00 PM EST] <Laurna> Oh dear Jerusha
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:04:02 PM EST] <KK> Exactly like Order of Precedence.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:04:25 PM EST] <bynw> you just click back on the picture for the discord chat to get back to it and back and forth Jerusha
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:04:28 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> That makes it easy to understand!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:04:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep, that works
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:05:03 PM EST] <derynifank> Just a question, when is the discord learning session?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:05:09 PM EST] <KK> Trying to think of flag etiquette. Isn't the American flag displayed to the right, from audience view? It's been a while.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:05:17 PM EST] <bynw> when there is enough people who want to do it
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:05:45 PM EST] <Laurna> I will look up Order of Precedence. thanks for the info
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:05:57 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> It depends on how many flags are flying.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:06:21 PM EST] <derynifank> And whose flags they are
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:06:45 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> If two it's to the viewers' left, if three it's in the middle.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:07:35 PM EST] <The_Bee> AFAIK, if there are multiple national flags they're allare flown at the same level
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:07:57 PM EST] <KK> Thanks, WindyCat. I knew it had to be one or the other. ;-)
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:08:21 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> In heraldry, the flag of the highest ranking person present would be flown highest.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:08:31 PM EST] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:08:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> Flying another country's flag lower than your would would be bad manners.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:09:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> your own
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:10:12 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> You're welcome. Four yrs in the military and 57 yrs studying heraldry finally came in handy. 😉
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:10:33 PM EST] <KK> What service, WindyCat?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:10:44 PM EST] <The_Bee> which branch of the military?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:10:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Never call life misspent until it's over. =o)
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:10:53 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> The Navy.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:10:58 PM EST] <Laurna> Thanks WindyCat
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:11:10 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:11:13 PM EST] <KK> Ah, cool! What did you do in the Navy?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:11:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> HI Bee
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:11:51 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I drove landing boats, think D-Day.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:11:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> My brother was in the peacetime navy.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:12:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh my!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:12:21 PM EST] <KK> When I asked Jack Campbell that question, he said he was a ship driver. Makes sense, given what he writes.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:12:45 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> My service was considered peacetime until about 20 years ago.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:13:33 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I did that too. Boats are much more fun than ships. 😄
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:14:02 PM EST] <derynifank> You were in D-Day?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:14:07 PM EST] <KK> I think he drove destroyers or something of the like. I think boats <would> be more fun.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:14:10 PM EST] <The_Bee> My dad was in the Coast Guard during WW II. He once stood watch over the Queen Mary.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:14:30 PM EST] <Laurna> Wow
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:15:34 PM EST] <bynw> WindyCat, since Veterans Day is coming up next week. Thank you for your service.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:15:43 PM EST] <DesertRose> Speaking of boats vs ships, I find it absolutely hilarious that Trident-class submarines are still called boats, given the size of the things.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:15:45 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> No, but what I did was some of the same things as D-Day. You've seen the boats going onto the beach? That's some of what I did, just 46 years after D-Day.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:16:02 PM EST] <KK> That would have been when the QM was fitted out as a troop transport, I'd think.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:16:03 PM EST] * The_Bee salutes WindyCat
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:16:19 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Thank you, Bynw.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:16:39 PM EST] <The_Bee> Yes. He was too old for the draft when we entered the war.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:16:54 PM EST] * KK also sends salutes to WindyCat, especially today.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:17:01 PM EST] <derynifank> Thank you for your service windycat
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:17:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, thank you, WindyCat
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:17:32 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> hugs to all
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:17:56 PM EST] <Laurna> yes thank you. I love the sea, but ships are so big. I like boats better. but you do learn to respect the ocean in a small boat.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:18:06 PM EST] <KK> Watched the pared-down ceremonies at the Cenotaph earlier today. Still very impressive. The band gets a real workout.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:19:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> Military bands are always good. Or at least, I've never heard/watched one that wasn't good.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:19:24 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I'm going to watch it online later. I miss being in London for Remembrance Day.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:19:27 PM EST] <KK> The Brits do know how to do pomp and ceremony, even pared down.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:19:51 PM EST] <The_Bee> You can love the ocean, but it can't love you back.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:19:52 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Definitely!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:19:55 PM EST] <Laurna> I saw several photos. but maybe I will watch for the band
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:20:37 PM EST] <KK> Nimrod, and Last Post, and Big Ben at 11, and two minutes of silence.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:20:56 PM EST] <DesertRose> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7o4Ltq_Dz8 gives me goose bumps every time.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:21:07 PM EST] <The_Bee> I know what A cenotaph is, but what is THE Cenotaph?
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:21:35 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> It depends on the ocean, Bee. I spent a year on a coral reef in the Indian Ocean. Every time I went into the water I felt like I'd been hugged.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:22:06 PM EST] <Laurna> what a wonder feeling and phrase
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:22:09 PM EST] <KK> It's the big memorial to those lost in both WW's, by Whitehall. Every year they have a ceremony there and lay wreaths. Royals are always part of it.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:22:39 PM EST] <KK> Nice rendering of the Navy Hymn.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:23:06 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> It's a very moving ceremony.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:23:24 PM EST] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:23:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> And that harmony, a cappella. <3
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:24:19 PM EST] <KK> The hymn lends itself to wonderful harmony. Always loved that.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:26:40 PM EST] <KK> Oh, my. Look at the time. My tummy is reminding me. So I think I'd best sign off for tonight. Stay safe and healthy, all. And see you next week.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:26:55 PM EST] <bynw> have a good week KK. Thanks for coming!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:26:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Have a good week, KK!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:27:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Night, KK. Have a good, productive week
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:27:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> Okay, g'night, KK. See you next week! Thanks for coming to hang out with us. Stay healthy!
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:27:16 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:27:17 PM EST] <Laurna> Good Night KK
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:27:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> My favorite part of Independence Day or Memorial Concerts is the Armed Forces Medley.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:27:24 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Goodnight, KK.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:27:25 PM EST] <KK> Nighters, all.
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:27:28 PM EST] <The_Bee> Bye KK
[Sunday, November 8, 2020] [8:27:33 PM EST] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: https://mibbit.com Online IRC Client).
