[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:08:00 PM EST] * bynw is doing good
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:08:00 PM EST] <The_Bee> When does Advent officially begin?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:08:04 PM EST] * TheDeryni waves to Katherine
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:08:11 PM EST] <KK> 3 weeks ago.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:08:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> Four Sundays before Christmas.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:09:15 PM EST] <KK> Hi, TD.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:10:17 PM EST] * TheDeryni smiles
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:10:27 PM EST] <KK> Anybody else expecting snow in the next few days?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:10:34 PM EST] <DesertRose> No.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:10:41 PM EST] * bynw already got snow
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:10:57 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Wednesday
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:10:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> Maybe Wednesday/Thursday
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:10:57 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Possibly freezing rain on Wednesday.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:11:43 PM EST] <KK> We got about 1/4 inch a couple of weeks ago, may get a like amount tomorrow night, and are due for "significant" snow for most of the day on Wednesday.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:11:50 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Heavy snow possible here
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:12:29 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Rhemuth castle
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:12:35 PM EST] <KK> It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Well, not the kind of Christmas we're used to....
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:12:43 PM EST] <Laurna> Snow?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:12:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello all
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:13:04 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> We had flurries last week. I wouldn't have know if the cats hadn't gone nuts trying to catch the flakes through the window. 🤣
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:13:08 PM EST] <KK> Hey, Laurna. Your first box of costume books should go in the mail tomorrow.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:13:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:13:16 PM EST] <bynw> hi Laurna and hi Shiral
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:13:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL, WindyCat. Hi Laurna and Shiral.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:13:22 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Shiral.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:13:27 PM EST] <Laurna> Awesome, KK I look forward to that
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:13:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well...no snow where I am, but luckily, we're getting some needed rain
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:13:48 PM EST] <Laurna> Christmas time in the mail is perfect
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:14:05 PM EST] <Laurna> You have Rain, Shiral?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:14:14 PM EST] <Laurna> We have wind and sunny skies
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:14:17 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yay for rain in Shiral's neck of the woods!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:14:32 PM EST] <KK> It may be after the first of the year before I get the second, larger box organized. But the mail carriers will be pleased.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:14:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup. Not steady, but intermittent real actual rain since late Friday afternoon
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:14:55 PM EST] <KK> That's a blessing for California.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:15:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> snaps fingers and produces gingerbread and hot cider
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:15:14 PM EST] <Laurna> Larger box. Oh boy! PM me the costs
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:15:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Is it ever, KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:15:38 PM EST] * DesertRose adds the magic teapot and tea pitcher to the table.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:15:43 PM EST] <Laurna> Hot cider with cinnamon and cloves please.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:15:47 PM EST] * The_Bee adds manchet bread with honey, clottted cream and strawbrry preserves.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:15:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yum!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:15:56 PM EST] <Laurna> Yumm Bee
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:16:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And some snow in the Sierras, although poor things, ski season is pretty cursed, given how shut down we need to be, right now.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:16:10 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> YUM! 😋
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:16:19 PM EST] <KK> I'll let you know, Laurna.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:16:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But snow is good news
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:16:43 PM EST] * The_Bee hands Laurna a glass of hot mulled cider.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:16:43 PM EST] <KK> Yum, Bee!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:16:44 PM EST] <Laurna> That will be good KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:16:57 PM EST] <Laurna> Sipping, YUMMM
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:16:59 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Snow is very good news!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:17:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Grand Duchess Tatiana flicks her tail in greeting
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:17:26 PM EST] <KK> As long as it's mostly atmospheric rather than inconvenient.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:17:27 PM EST] * DesertRose also adds a slow cooker full of hot chocolate, with containers of marshmallows, whipped cream, crushed peppermint candies, and an assortment of other goodies to put in hot cocoa.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:17:39 PM EST] <Laurna> I had my first Egg Nog of the season when I helped my sister and her DH decorate their tree yesterday
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:17:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> a decent snow pack will help in the spring
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:17:51 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Great perfume btw, Shiral
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:17:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> Part of me still reacts to snow like a kid getting a snow day
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:18:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys says hi, too.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:18:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Perfume, TD?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:18:23 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Tatiana
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:18:29 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I do too @The Bee
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:18:37 PM EST] <Laurna> Sent of Tatiana? LOL
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:18:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh, I was referring to my cat, Tatiana, AKA the Grand Duchess
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:18:55 PM EST] <TheDeryni> I know
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:18:59 PM EST] <Laurna> So was he
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:19:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm just slow, today....
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:19:27 PM EST] <KK> Dairy Queen has their holiday blizzard back: Hot cocoa with peppermint. It's a chocolate base, with chocolate bits and crushed candy cane. Yum! And I recently discovered that they have a mini size, which provides the taste and crunch, but in less frightening quantities. I wish they had it year-round.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:19:42 PM EST] <Laurna> Who has the trebuchet today better get it ready and loaded.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:19:51 PM EST] Join derynifank (62a6eda8@owirc-0o17lq.mibbit.com) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:19:56 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi derynifank
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:19:57 PM EST] <bynw> hi derynifank
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:20:02 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello DFK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:20:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, I did get some St. Lucia buns baked last night.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:20:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DFK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:20:16 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> @KK I wish we still had a DQ here.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:20:17 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi everyone.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:20:43 PM EST] <KK> I saw those on Facebook, Shiral. They looked yummy!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:20:43 PM EST] <derynifank> What are St Lucia Buns?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:20:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> I know Arby's has a snack size for their milkshakes, which is perfect for those moments when I *really want* a Jamocha shake but I don't want a ridiculous quantity thereof.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:20:51 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Hi @derynifank (DFK)
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:21:16 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:21:24 PM EST] * The_Bee pours herself a cup of Desert Rose'shot chocolate. YUM!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:21:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's a kind of breakfast roll that has saffron in the dough. They're gently sweet and good with butter and jam. As one would suspect.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:21:43 PM EST] <derynifank> Sounds yummy
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:21:53 PM EST] <Laurna> 4:20 and the sun is going down. I am not so much in love with this time zone.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:21:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's traditional in Scandinavia on the Feast of St. Lucia, which is today.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:22:03 PM EST] <KK> Tell her about the St. Lucia festivities, Shiral.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:22:53 PM EST] <Laurna> She is the patron saint of the blind, I believe.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:23:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Traditionally, the oldest daughter of a family bakes the buns, and then the children all take the buns and some hot coffee to their parents for breakfast in bed on St. Lucia's Day. The Representative of St. Lucia wears a crown of greenery and candles on her head. Sometimes real candles, but probably not every where for safety reasons.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:23:55 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Everybody picked out their viewing site for the Christmas Star on the 21st?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:24:27 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Hey, DFK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:24:36 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi TD
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:24:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> Do you have Scandinavian ancestors, Shiral?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:25:14 PM EST] <KK> I know where to look. Hope I can see it/them.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:25:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But St. Lucia's day is BIG in Scandinavia as it promises the return of light at a very dark, cold time of year. So they cheer themselves up with songs, candles, and LOTS of food and drink. And we sure need some light and hope right now.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:25:53 PM EST] <The_Bee> Christmas Star==conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:26:04 PM EST] <derynifank> So very true Shiral.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:26:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Alas, no, Bee. But my family had a Swedish Au Pair for several years and she taught us about St. Lucia's Day.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:26:20 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> @KK I checked my usual location, but there's building there now. I need to find a new site.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:26:34 PM EST] <derynifank> We need not just physical light but light for the spirit right now
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:26:40 PM EST] <Laurna> I think it will be very close to the horizon at sun down. I need to look it up.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:26:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> Do they have a cake with one almond in it?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:27:09 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Baked buns....hmm...my ex-.........err, never mind
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:27:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> That sounds closer to rosca de los reyes, Bee, which is a Mexican traditional food for Epiphany.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:27:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Goodness, the step-baby stops by and I forget my brain and I forget the chat. Hello all.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:27:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Last week, I was feeling very tired and depressed, so I entertained myself on Youtube, and found this video https://youtu.be/i2-Q_ObdE-4
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:28:06 PM EST] * TheDeryni smacks himself
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:28:08 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Bethane, Step baby is a good reason to forget all else
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:28:09 PM EST] <The_Bee> The person who get the almond has good luck fir the coming year.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:28:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> DFK you're very right.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:28:25 PM EST] <bynw> hi Bethane
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:28:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Thanks Laurna, I certainly think so. Hello bynw.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:28:38 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Hey, Bethane
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:28:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> No almond, Bee. but the ends of St. Lucia buns are kind of S shaped and they have a raisin at either end, representing eyes.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:28:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello TD
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:29:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Bethane
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:29:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hullo Shiral
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:29:16 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Bethane
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:29:29 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Hi @Bethane
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:29:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hi Bee, WindyCat
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:29:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My mother used to bake a cake with a coin in it at Christmas, that was supposed to bring good luck to the person who found it--same basic idea.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:30:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> I think I remember Perry Como singing "Santa Lucia."
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:31:08 PM EST] <derynifank> Thanks for the link Shiral, Lovely
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:31:25 PM EST] <KK> Yes, thank you. It's lovely.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:31:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> The Pod-Child foster-failed. This cutie had the shelter name of Ocho, and the Kiddo fostered him and his sister Nueve; Nueve has been adopted by someone else, and Ocho is now my grand-kitten. The Kiddo is contemplating a new name for him, tentatively Percival, but Galahad, Tristan, Gawain, and Owain are in the running. https://imgur.com/a/Ejb1YvW
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:31:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It was a case of finding just the right video just at the right moment for me. The singing in that clip is so pretty
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:31:58 PM EST] <derynifank> Our church did a living nativity tonight and last night. Even had a live camel. Don't know where they found him
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:32:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The Pod child chose well! What a sweet little face!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:32:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> DR, what a little cutie! What big eyes!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:32:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> My mom used to
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:32:32 PM EST] <The_Bee> put a piece of (char)coal in the toe of our stockings.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:32:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I would think finding a camel would take some serious intent--not many stray camels wandering around!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:33:09 PM EST] <KK> Aww, sweet kitten.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:33:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> He is cute, but the night she brought him home to stay, he was being a bitey butt (he was coming down from the anesthesia from being neutered), so the phone conversation was punctuated with, "Go eat your own tail or nom on Diane (adult foster who tolerates kitten shenanigans)!"
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:33:31 PM EST] <derynifank> He is aadorable. I like Owain because I have a thing for Owain Gwynedd in the Cadfael stories
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:35:02 PM EST] <Laurna> I like the name Tristan for that little guy
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:35:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Kittens are cute to preserve their litle lives
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:35:13 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I like Gawain.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:35:27 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'm leaning that way myself, re: Tristan. Someone else said Galahad, because he is clearly the goodest sweetest baby.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:35:53 PM EST] <DesertRose> But I like the name Tristan in general, and I like giving pets "people" names.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:36:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I think Tristan is a great name; I always wanted to name a kid that.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:36:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:36:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:36:43 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> 👋
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:36:44 PM EST] <derynifank> Hey Jerusha
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:36:46 PM EST] <Laurna> Not just for Tristan and Iesold but also the Tristan from Star Dust
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:36:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:36:52 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:36:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've read the Cadfael stories. Owain Gwynedd is the Welsh king?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:37:02 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha. If you scroll up a ways, you'll see a link to the picture of the kitten my Kiddo recently adopted (having fostered him and his sister, who has been adopted by someone else).
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:37:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I think the kitten should be Rhys. =o)
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:37:17 PM EST] <derynifank> The welsh prince of Gwynedd
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:37:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:37:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sorry to be late; had to watch the end of the Green Bay football game
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:37:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Mmmmm, Tristan from Star Dust... love me some Charlie Cox...
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:37:29 PM EST] <DesertRose> He's not red-haired enough, Shiral.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:37:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But he has the golden eyes. But he could be Tieg...
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:38:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Cute kitten
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:38:15 PM EST] <Laurna> There is a good name for the kitty. Tieg. I like that
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:38:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hey, I finally got my copy of the Codex. I spent about 5-6 hours yesterday just going through all the timeline.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:38:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Time well spent!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:38:41 PM EST] <DesertRose> Well, and also, the Kiddo likes names from Arthurian legend. She named Merlin the Manx Menace (whose actual name is Merlin Emrys), and she's had hamsters named Guinevere and Arthur.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:38:46 PM EST] <KK> Enjoy!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:39:02 PM EST] <Laurna> Your now hooked Bethane, with hook fishline and sinker.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:39:03 PM EST] <derynifank> Very well spent Jerusha
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:39:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Tieg would be a good short name for emphatic calls to get the kitten's attention, such as "Tieg get down from there!"
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:40:02 PM EST] <DesertRose> Layla escaped an Arthurian name because none of the as-yet-unused women's names fit her.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:40:03 PM EST] <The_Bee> I think it was actually Emrys Merlin
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:40:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I just wonder how you could possibly come up with so many names and dates and all the rest. Did your brain just ache when you'd finished it, @KK?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:40:25 PM EST] <Laurna> I just purchased a second copy of the paperback codex on ebay because my first copy has sheets of paper and notes through out it and I can not find anything quickly when I need it.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:40:36 PM EST] <KK> Tieg sounds good to me. Tristan is also good.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:41:21 PM EST] <The_Bee> Isolde for a girl kitty?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:41:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I like Isolde
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:41:45 PM EST] <KK> Bethane, it was a work over time, as I developed it. Started out with just the timeline shown in the first trilogy, and grew from there. and Rob filled in a lot of the background gaps.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:41:54 PM EST] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:42:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Bynw
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:42:13 PM EST] <derynifank> Bynw, do you still have snow
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:42:28 PM EST] * TheDeryni waves at Jerusha
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:42:28 PM EST] <Laurna> It is amazing how complete the codex makes the world of the eleven kingdoms
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:42:32 PM EST] <bynw> oh yes
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:42:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> waves at TheDeryni
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:42:43 PM EST] <bynw> it's not going anywhere anytime soon
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:43:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We got at least 25 cm of snow yesterday. A lot of it blew sideways
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:43:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> Who wants to go for a sail on Lake Pericomo?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:43:22 PM EST] <bynw> the next time it will be above freezing will be Thursday
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:43:24 PM EST] <Laurna> Sun has set. fortunaltly I have my four puppy slippers on
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:43:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> It really does. And I see now why everyone wnats to know about Killingsford and the summer of 948
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:43:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Love puppy slippers!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:43:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That should keep your feet nice and toasty, Laurna!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:43:58 PM EST] <Laurna> Yep it is perfect
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:44:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> When the slippers aren't licking your toes
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:44:07 PM EST] <KK> Yay for puppy slippers.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:44:13 PM EST] <The_Bee> actual slippers or actual puppies?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:44:24 PM EST] <Laurna> I have no problem with licked toes
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:44:28 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> 🤣
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:44:36 PM EST] <derynifank> actual puppies acting as slippers
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:45:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> Awwww!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:45:52 PM EST] <Laurna> They keep bringing me sticks. but I am just glad they haven't found the christmas trees yet
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:46:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Look mama! I found this really BIG stick!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:46:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It kind of made a big crash..."
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:46:59 PM EST] * The_Bee imagines Laurna's pups dragging the Christmas tree around the house.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:47:11 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> 🤣
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:47:19 PM EST] <Laurna> Yah! Sunny brought in a 4ft eucalapitus branch this morning. I cracked up as he brought in through the door
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:47:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We had a 7 foot tree do that once. The whippets kind of said "Oh Gosh!"
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:47:39 PM EST] <Laurna> OH DEAR!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:47:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I've seen pictures of "The Cat owner's tree" which is upside down and hanging from the middle of the ceiling.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:47:55 PM EST] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:48:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A four foot branch?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:48:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That's a lot for a puppy
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:48:47 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> That's making the rounds on FB again @Shiral
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:48:59 PM EST] <KK> My critters have never bothered our trees. Of course, the trees were always in rooms that were closed unless we were in there to supervise, both at Holybrooke and here.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:49:14 PM EST] <Laurna> about an inch around with two side branches. he took every one out before I got it away from him
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:49:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Made me laugh, since I've pretty much given up on having a Christmas tree on account of cats for several years
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:49:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I haven't had a way to keep the livingroom closed off
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:50:02 PM EST] <Laurna> My cat has never bothered my tree
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:50:13 PM EST] <derynifank> You know you're in trouble when you look at your tree and thee is a cat face staring out at you.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:50:14 PM EST] <KK> Could it be in your office?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:50:17 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I haven't had a tree in about 15 years because cats.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:50:26 PM EST] <derynifank> there
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:50:41 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've neverhad a christmas tree because I was always in Vermont for Christmas. I'm thinking of getting one this year.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:50:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I had an itty bitty tree last year because the family came to my house for Christmas Day. The cats were VERY interested. I didn't keep it up much past Christmas Day
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:50:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> My cats like to nap under the tree in the window. It's west-facing so the sun comes in through it.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:51:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> One of our family Christmas cards had our cat Luna taking a nap under the tree. She was very elderly by then. But she looked very pleased and content
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:51:40 PM EST] <Laurna> I saw were some tree farm was renting live trees in a pot for the month and then they would take them back to the farm for next year
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:52:16 PM EST] <The_Bee> I'd like a potted tre that I can plant after Christmas.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:52:39 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I've seen that @Laurna.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:52:49 PM EST] <Laurna> I could Never, ever, ever be without a christmas tree. I love the lights and the special orniments that have meaning.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:53:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh, I do too. Now I turn my fireplace into my decorating focal point, though.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:53:32 PM EST] <KK> I had a potted tree for a few years in California. But I moved it to the front porch after Christmas and forgot to water it regularly, and it eventually cooked in the California heat.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:53:44 PM EST] <The_Bee> I hope my sister puts the bazooka angel on the tree this year.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:53:57 PM EST] <Laurna> When I lived with my grandma, College years. she didn't want a tree. so I pulled inside a potted juniper that she had in the back and that became our tree.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:54:02 PM EST] <KK> Bazooka angel?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:54:11 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I'll decorate with holly, ivy, and boxwood next weekend.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:55:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> An angel holding two candles. I was given it and passed it on to them. My BIL named it the bazooka angel because it was holding the candles like guns.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:55:48 PM EST] <KK> lol
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:56:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We had an angel like that when I was growing up

[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:56:44 PM EST] <Laurna> tree and Sunny https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/130259304_2813908558824729_5918293730335314966_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=2&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=zkrvH4syF6gAX_ZVHg4&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.xx&oh=3f915b97777318a836c4cd8a967f9391&oe=5FFD71AB
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:56:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We had little angel ornaments in pastel gowns holding instruments. Someone gave them to my Mom when my oldest brother was a baby
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:57:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> url signature mismatch?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:57:22 PM EST] <derynifank> Bazooka angel seems like an oxymoron
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:57:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I got that too
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:57:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I got the same thing
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:57:36 PM EST] <KK> Wow, those are some impressive decorations--without being over the top, like some homes around here.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:58:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> My mom has (or had, not sure she still has) a candle ornament that I decided was me, in ceramic-angel-hugging-a-candle form.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:58:20 PM EST] <derynifank> That's impressive
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:58:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> I made that decision when I was about four or five years old.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:58:40 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> They're not opening @Laurna
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:58:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> No one has ever confused me with an angel
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:58:51 PM EST] <Laurna> humm
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:59:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> Nor me, in years, but Little!Me was reasonably well behaved.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:59:04 PM EST] <KK> Angel figures can be quite ferocious. You should see my St. Uriel with his sword pointed out to ward off evil.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:59:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> An angel I can relate to
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [7:59:58 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I think I'd like that one @KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:00:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> No kidding
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:00:44 PM EST] <derynifank> Then there is St Michael with his firey sword
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:00:54 PM EST] <KK> I also have several Michaels with swords, including one with the point if the flaming between his feet, and hands resting on the quillons.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:00:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I can't open the photos either, Laurna. Can you post them to Rhemuth castle, please?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:00:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> Angels were not namby-pamby beings. There's a reason they tell people. "Be not afraid."
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:01:08 PM EST] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:01:13 PM EST] <Laurna> They are on my face book page.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:01:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I did see them there, Laurna, and very impressed!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:01:39 PM EST] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/tTzdp2qL/image.png
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:02:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> WOW!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:02:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Oh my goodness, that's pretty!!!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:02:16 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Ooo, pretty!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:02:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You have a hacienda type house?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:02:36 PM EST] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/93ozeeXZ/image.png
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:02:50 PM EST] <Laurna> yep old 1970's home
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:02:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Nice Tree!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:02:55 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> ❤️
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:03:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> I once RPGed Evaine. In one scene she summoned all four archangels all by herself.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:03:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sunny will guard the tree!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:03:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> gorgeous tree 😉
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:03:39 PM EST] <The_Bee> if he doesn't knock it over.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:04:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We actually never had a dog bother our Christmas tree. Maybe we were just lucky
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:04:11 PM EST] <Laurna> I am a sucker for christmas decorations
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:04:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> TB, did you have friends playing the arcangels?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:04:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> +h
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:06:29 PM EST] <The_Bee> who, me. No. It was all on-line.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:06:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Oh, sorry
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:07:03 PM EST] <Laurna> I have always been fascinated by the Deryni Ritual of calling the arcangels. I think of it as highly emotional.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:07:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> and mighty impressive
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:07:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> I wrote the dialogue, but I no longer have access to it.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:07:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Especially when they appear
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:08:10 PM EST] <KK> Question about our next Zoom, which would ordinarily be on the 3rd of January. Would we rather have it on the 10th, since the 3rd as the end of new year's weekend? Or does it really not matter, since no one is going to be celebrating in the usual ways for new year's anyway?not
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:08:18 PM EST] <Laurna> So true Jerusha, they don't always show themselves
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:08:37 PM EST] <DesertRose> Up to you, KK.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:08:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Either way works for me, KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:08:52 PM EST] <derynifank> I'm ok with either one
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:08:54 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Either one is good for me @KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:08:55 PM EST] <Laurna> I have no plans for the weekend
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:09:08 PM EST] <bynw> what ever works best for you KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:09:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> IIRC, Evaine asked Michael for courage and Azrael for firm footing.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:09:42 PM EST] <KK> Let's keep it on the 3rd, then, to start off the new (and hopefully improved) new year.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:09:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> Either day for me.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:10:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> crossing fingers for the "improved" part
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:10:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> Sounds good to me.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:10:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, an improved New Year will be welcome!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:10:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm fine with the third
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:10:12 PM EST] <Laurna> hear hear for an imporved New Year
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:10:15 PM EST] <KK> That's 3 pm Eastern.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:10:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Let's hope 2021 will go better!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:10:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> with a new president
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:10:47 PM EST] <derynifank> Cna't wait to kick 2020 out the door at midnight
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:10:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And LESS death
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:11:06 PM EST] <derynifank> Can't
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:11:24 PM EST] <Laurna> We will put 2020 in the trebuchet and launch it out to sea
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:11:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I know, me too
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:11:36 PM EST] <derynifank> With the vaccines, should be the beginning of the end for Covvid
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:11:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We should launch it flaming
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:11:49 PM EST] <DesertRose> From your lips . . .
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:11:50 PM EST] <Laurna> lol agreed
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:11:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I keep wantaing to say "2021 can't be worse" but I know that would be tempting fate.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Shush, Bethane!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:10 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> 🤫
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:11 PM EST] <Laurna> Don Not Say That
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> That's why I keep saying, "May the new year be better than this one has been!"
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yeah, let's definitely NOT tempt fate!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> knock knock knock
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:26 PM EST] <KK> And everyone be particularly careful. It would be awful if, having made it through this year and with the vaccine ready to launch, any of us got the Big Bug and died. Not happening!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Stay home, wash your hands and mask up, everyone
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:44 PM EST] <derynifank> Could not stand a repeat of 2020
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hoping not!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> The candy bomber caught the big bug... he's 100... hope he makes it
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:12:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yeah, a couple of my friends have/had it, a high school classmate and her husband, and a gaming friend overseas.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:13:43 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I'm practicing to be a hermit. No taking chances here, I've already had a scare this year.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:14:07 PM EST] <KK> I'm mostly a hermit, too. Still scary times.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:14:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Living on a secluded lake is nice
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:14:10 PM EST] <The_Bee> I'm pretty much a hermit anyway.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:14:14 PM EST] <Laurna> me too, I have become a hermit. I do miss costuming and dressing up to go dancing
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:14:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm happy to be at home. But I do miss basic things like being able to go out to dinner with mom and catch a movie, together
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:14:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> I've been a semi-hermit for years anyway. Honestly, the big change for me has been wearing masks, which have some advantages.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:00 PM EST] <The_Bee> Not wearing a mask is like not wearing a seatbelt.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Wearing a mask in the bitter cold may be a challenge this year. But I will not give up
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:11 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Who knew going to the grocery store would be the high point of the week?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:12 PM EST] <derynifank> Being a hermit isn't so bad, especially if you have a warm cat and a good book to read
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> At first, I really disliked masks--now I hardly notice
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> DFK, hear hear!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> My glasses fog up when it is really cold
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:39 PM EST] <Laurna> and trying to find TP again has become impossible
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:41 PM EST] <DesertRose> I've heard from some folks in colder climates that the mask is helpful that way, an extra layer between face, scarf, and cold air.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Why would wearing a mask in the cold be challenging?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Ahh
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Masks are like face-blankets. 🙂
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:15:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Nose wires
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:01 PM EST] <derynifank> I have given up going to the ggrocery store. Order on line, drive up and they put them in my car. Not a bad deal
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I found wearing a mask in hot weather much less pleasant
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:05 PM EST] <The_Bee> My mask makes my glasses fog up.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Nose wires matter
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:14 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> @derynifank I finished The Adept series yesterday. Trying to decide what to read next.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:17 PM EST] <KK> Mask in the bitter cold actually should be ok. Think of cosy mufflers wrapped around neck and nose when it's really bitter cold.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> If your mask freezes
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:21 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yes, they do, Angsthase.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> They definitely help with the fit
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Don't get your mask wet?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:16:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> They go under the scarf or cowl
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:17:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Those few times I go out, I wear a gaiter that covers the entire bottom half of my face and my neck. Very pleasant.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:17:12 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> @The Bee Get nose strips to go inside your mask. Makes all the difference!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:17:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I'm not a scarf person, but I may have to change my ways
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:17:14 PM EST] <Laurna> Do you need a battery operated heating mask?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:17:36 PM EST] <DesertRose> That's my main gripe with wearing a mask; my face gets hot, and sometimes my skin raises a fuss. It hasn't gotten the memo that I'm almost 45 years old and should have left acne behind a few decades ago, LOL.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:17:37 PM EST] <The_Bee> I twist the strings.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:18:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I need a battery operated heated EVERYTHING!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:18:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> But that is a minor complaint and certainly not a reason not to wear a mask.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:18:22 PM EST] <Laurna> LOL Jerusha
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:18:27 PM EST] <derynifank> I found a mask wiith a plastic form that goes inside the mask and holds it away from your face a bit. Really more comfortable
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:19:06 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yeah, I probably should try the plastic form and see if it helps with the hot-face problem.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:19:16 PM EST] <KK> No, it's a small price to pay, if masks and social distancing and hand-washing will keep us safe from Covid.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:19:30 PM EST] <The_Bee> Amen!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:19:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Most of the time it is not a problem, but I have had my glasses ice over, which is a pain
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:19:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> Ack!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:19:40 PM EST] <derynifank> It does. I can tolerate much better when I have to wear the mask for awhile
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:20:19 PM EST] <KK> Glasses can be a problem. And masking can interfere with balance, not being able to see over the mask as well.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:20:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Masks are one of the most important ways we can protect ourselves and others from Covid. And it's not that hard to get used to wearing it
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:20:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup, re: glasses.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:21:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Sometimes, if you fold up a tissue and insert it between the top edge of the mask and your skin, it cuts down on fogging
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:21:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I'm OK with the mask; it's waving my glasses in the grocery store until they thaw that is annoying. But it's a small price to pay for safety
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:21:39 PM EST] <The_Bee> Tell that to the persons who throw tantrums when someone asks them to put on a mask.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:21:40 PM EST] <KK> Well, on that note, I think I'll head out. Bynw, I assume you've noted the group consensus re next zoom.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:21:53 PM EST] <Laurna> Good Night KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:21:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> goodnight @KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Bye, KK, have a good week. I hope your plans for moving progress smoothly
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:02 PM EST] <DesertRose> I carry a glasses case because my glasses have matching magnetic clip-on sunglasses, and when it's raining, I put my glasses in the case until I get into the car or indoors.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:06 PM EST] <Laurna> I am excited about the books
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, KK Have a good week
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:17 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Goodnight @KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:20 PM EST] <DesertRose> G'night, KK! Thanks for coming to see us, have a good week, stay safe and healthy, and see you next week!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Think about stories, even if you don't yet have time to write them!
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:40 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> Would that help, Jerusha?
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:45 PM EST] <The_Bee> Goodbye and Good Week, KK. Tanks for coming. SCritches to Gus and beely rubs to Booker.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:46 PM EST] <derynifank> goodnight KK. Have a good week
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Not that I'm pushy, or anything....
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:53 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:22:57 PM EST] <bynw> night KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:23:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> spitshines her halo
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:23:08 PM EST] <KK> Nighters, all.
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:23:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Night, KK
[Sunday, December 13, 2020] [8:23:13 PM EST] <Laurna> Jerusha How about a thin strip of fur on the top edge of the mask to keep the air from going into glasses.
