[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:04:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:04:39 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, KK!! Glad to see you!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:04:54 PM EDT] <KK> Hapy Independence Day, all!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:05:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> And to you, too!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:06:08 PM EDT] <KK> I have Gus on my lap.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:06:37 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Gus
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:06:45 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> IBLK was here but she left.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:07:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hi KK and Gus
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:07:31 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:07:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I just had to go refill Carys' water fountain and give her treats for alerting me that it was running low.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:07:49 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Bad human! You let it get low!!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:07:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (If the fountain runs low for too long, it'll damage the motor.)
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:08:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I can imagine.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:08:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, in the old place, I could hear it if it got low, but in the new place, it's not as audible.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:08:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's STILL raining.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:08:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But Carys' ears are better than mine, and she lets me know when it's getting sort of borderline-low, and I give her treats for reminding me to top it off, so win-win.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:08:50 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Splashing up raining.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:09:04 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Sounds good to me
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:09:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Bethane still here?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:09:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And to be fair, she uses it so she probably pays it more attention than I do.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:09:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I am
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:09:42 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Great!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:09:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Showed up a little bit late, we were watching a movie
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:09:55 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, she is the one drinking the water.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:10:09 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I was chair napping. Got here at 5 till.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:10:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mom and I were discussing the merits of a good nap (we were on the phone a while ago).
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:10:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I love a good nap
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:11:13 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Me, too!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:11:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My stepdad has never slept heavily, and as he's aging, his sleep quality has gotten worse, to the point that if he sits down in his recliner, he'll nod off inside of ten minutes. Mom keeps nagging him to take a freaking nap in the late morning or afternoon.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:11:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mom and I and the Pod-Child are all very heavy sleepers and all grand devotees of the Nap Ministry.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:12:01 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Does he have airway problems? That can keep you from getting good sleep
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:12:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, and he has a CPAP and he mostly remembers to use it, but also I think he's just one of those people who doesn't sleep very heavily.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:12:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The only time in my life I *didn't* sleep like a rock was when the Pod-Child was little, and the only time Mom didn't was when I was little.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:12:47 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Could be. If he's using his CPAP, he should be as good as he can get.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:13:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Same boat. I starated using a CPAP almost a year ago. I still get insomnia and wake up at 4:00 or 5:00 am
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:13:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Kids will make you sleep lightly
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:13:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Parenting a small child will lighten your sleep for you.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:13:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They can get into way too much trouble too fast.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:13:36 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, they can!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:13:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Silence is golden, unless there are small children about, in which case silence is very, VERY suspicious.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:14:12 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Mom woke up once when I was little & I was standing in the open back door, sleep walking.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:14:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Wow, I've never done that.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:14:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Was it only the once?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:14:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Even so, I managed to crawl out of my crib, in my blanket sleeper, and be halfway around the block before one of the neighbors saw me and called the house, where Mom had awakened and was losing her [stuff].
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:15:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I don't now, but guess I did then. They put a higher lock on the door.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:15:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Small town, so it wasn't as scary as it could have been, but still.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:15:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> We were out in the country.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:15:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Bethane probably knows where Page is. It's still not a big town, but in the late 70s, it was REALLY tiny.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:15:59 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> IBLK is back. Tapping my leg.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:16:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> We were outside Tallahassee
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:16:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Down by Lake Powell?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:16:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Even as late as the mid 80s, you only needed to dial the last four digits of a phone number because the whole town had the same exchange (and the whole state had the same area code, which is now a tiny section of downtown Phoenix, LOL).
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:16:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:17:20 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Wow!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:17:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> They created Lake Powll in the 70s, didn't they?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:17:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My silly butt decided to go swimming behind Lone Rock about 9 am one June morning (we were out on a neighbor's boat). And I got a really quick lesson in why not to swim in deep water in the shade.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:17:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Early 70s, I think.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:18:15 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, no! What did you get into?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:18:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, 1963.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:18:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cold freaking water.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:18:42 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, yeah! We had spring fed pools and rivers. COLD!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:19:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Oh yes, fresh run-off... freezing cold even in late August
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:19:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We are all victims of physics sometimes, and in that case it was, this is Colorado River water behind a giant rock formation, hundreds of feet deep, and is thus FAR colder than the ambient air.

[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:19:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi derynifank
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:19:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello DFK
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:20:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, DFK
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:20:27 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I can only still till about next hour. Hungry!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:20:48 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi everyone. Can't stay long. Going to fireworks show.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:20:57 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That will be fun!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:21:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> They had the big fireworks shows around here last night
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:21:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I'm back
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:21:13 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Ours may have just got squelched.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:21:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hi CW
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:21:26 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, again, CW
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:21:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hi Bethane
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:21:33 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi CW
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:21:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't know if ours will happen either. It's been storming for days.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:21:52 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Rain before fireworks is good, though
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:22:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> True; less chance of stray fires
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:22:12 PM EDT] <derynifank> And now a troopical storm is headed your way but not soon
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:22:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Probably Wednesday, here.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:22:49 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> We won't get this one. Going up FL probably
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:22:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We've had enough rain, thanks. Can we please ship it to the Pacific Northwest.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:23:10 PM EDT] <derynifank> Wish you could
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:23:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Drop some off in Utah while it's on its way, k?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:23:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I think that's where ours is coming from, and across Mexico.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:23:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Wednesday night/Thursday morning here.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:23:27 PM EDT] <derynifank> Our weather working needs help
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:23:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think what it needs is a geography lesson.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:23:57 PM EDT] <derynifank> Yup
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:23:59 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> The fronts don't accumulate enough water till they are just North of Texas, or in NW Texas.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:24:36 PM EDT] <KK> I'm back. Just got a call from my aunt in Florida, so had to catch her up on the knee and new car.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:24:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> waves to the aunt in Florida
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:25:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> you have a new car?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:25:20 PM EDT] <derynifank> How is the knee doing and how is the new car>
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:25:23 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> New car?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:25:32 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, how's the knee?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:26:04 PM EDT] <KK> New to me. It's a 2018 Subaru Outback, newer versionof what I've been driving for years. Dark blue, tan interior, and backup camera!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:26:34 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Sounds nice! I alternate loving and hating my backup camera
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:26:41 PM EDT] <KK> Knee is doing ok, twice a week physio continuing.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:26:49 PM EDT] <derynifank> Low mileage too? Sounds great
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:26:57 PM EDT] <KK> 35000 miles.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:27:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Have you looked into any of the new laser treatments?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:27:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not bad for a three (almost four) model-year-old car.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:27:24 PM EDT] <KK> Certified pre-owned by Subaru, so I've got some warranty.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:27:36 PM EDT] <derynifank> That sounds good. Just nicely broken in
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:27:39 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I wanted a Subaru but ended up with a Chevy.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:27:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My mom's been wanting a Toyota for literal decades. She drives a Ford Fusion.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:28:18 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I hear the Toyotas are nice, but a lot of people like Fusions
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:28:21 PM EDT] <KK> No re laser, but I'll investigate. A friend as recommended a condroitin/glucosamine supplement that worked wonders for him, so I'm going to try it.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:28:45 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I tried that but it messed with my blood sugar of all things!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:28:52 PM EDT] <KK> It's like a new car, only without the new car smell.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:29:09 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> You can buy some to spray in it.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:29:20 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I want to check out the laser, too.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:29:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Or get a "new car smell" air freshioner
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:29:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> If you go the glucosamine route keep an I one your blood sugar level. Glucosamine cane raise it.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:29:39 PM EDT] Join The_Bee (The_Bee@owirc-085.jjd.61.73.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:29:41 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yep, can get those, too.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:29:42 PM EDT] <KK> ot that important.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:29:45 PM EDT] <KK> not
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:29:57 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, and it did mine
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hi Bee
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:10 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Bee
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Glucosamine is glucose, which is sugar.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hi Bee
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Bethane! and Hi Houndmistress! What's up?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:39 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> yep
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:41 PM EDT] <derynifank> There is also an injection that is supposed to replace the lubricant in the knee
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:53 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Good here. Raining
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Synvisc, I think it's called?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hullo Jerusha
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:59 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:30:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> kk's knee?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:02 PM EDT] <KK> I also have a fancy knee brace, for when I need the extra support, and I got a steroid shot in the knee, good for 3 mo.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:10 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Ouch
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ouch!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I hope it works.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:20 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I wonder if a steroid shot to the knee is as painful as a steroid shot to the foot
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They may try the Synvisc if the steroid shots lose efficacy.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:33 PM EDT] <KK> It's worked so far. I've had them before.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:45 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They do hurt
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:31:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I am here to testify that steroid shots in the hip hurt like a [very bad word].
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:32:01 PM EDT] <KK> Steroid didn't hurt.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:32:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or, at least, the ones I've had did.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:32:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Good
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:32:21 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Really? My numbing shots stung and then the steroid hurt, too.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:32:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not hurting is good
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:32:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:32:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, let's banish the pain, plskthx.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:32:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:33:29 PM EDT] <KK> And I have the full gambit of mechanical aids: walker with tray, wheelchair, canes. And can take Tylenol for discomfort, and use cold packs.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:33:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Have you other ways to pass the time, KK?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:33:49 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That's a lot of stuff!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:33:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh my!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:33:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> besides your knee
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:34:01 PM EDT] <derynifank> You are well equipped
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:34:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And you have a furry, purry heating pad.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:34:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> None of my cats would sit on my knee when I did it originally.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:34:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys has been snuggling my bum ankle at night for me.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:34:55 PM EDT] <KK> LOL, still unpacking and putting things away and hunting for things that have gone into hiding. Yesterday I got rid of my old dining table and 10 chairs, bought by a friend, so they're going to a goodhome.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:35:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, good!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:35:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Purring helps they say
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:35:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> :] (y)
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:35:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Big table if it had 10 chairs!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:35:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Too big for the new place?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:35:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Just for fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAG7hIRj1jg (Maru and his kitty siblings)
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:36:11 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, big table, with 2 leaves. It made for a very elegant dining room. Then staged the dining room to get the house ready to show.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:36:14 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Awww! Cuties!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:36:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Maru has been internet famous for a while for his obsession with boxes. Even if he doesn't fit, he sits.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:36:39 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Staging is helpful.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:36:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Showing the old house now?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:36:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Probably named Maru for his big round head
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:37:08 PM EDT] <KK> Soon. Another week. But it could be shown now.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:37:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Felines of all sizes love boxes!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:37:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Progress!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:37:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> You know, IBLK doesn't seem to care about them.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:37:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. The big-cat sanctuary near my parents' house will take big boxes for the big cats to play with.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:37:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I can't get any of mine to sit in boxes. They'll sit on top of boxes, but not in the boxes.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:37:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It is extremely funny to watch an adult tiger fit him/herself into a refrigerator box.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:38:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I bet it is!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:38:12 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, I've seen videos of that!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:38:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cats are cats, regardless of size.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:38:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It's a seller's market up here. The bidding wars are outrageous
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:38:44 PM EDT] <KK> I hope that happens with my house.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:38:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Mine go nuts over boxes, they'll even fight over then. 😹
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:38:51 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Our house prices are through the roof!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:38:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> KK, have you seen the videos of the cats playing with the giant rope? I can't remember if they were lions or tigers, but they were clearly having a great time.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:39:10 PM EDT] <KK> No, haven't seen that one.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:39:27 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Will we get it if we Google?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:39:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Probably YouTube.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:40:05 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> The rain has finally tapered off here, not that we were complaining
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:40:05 PM EDT] <derynifank> Try you tube
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:40:45 PM EDT] <KK> Desert Rose, it looks like you're going to get a hurricane.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:41:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> that was a cute cat video; thanks DR 🙂
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:41:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or at least a tropical storm
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:41:09 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Got lots of vids but no rope ones, so far
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:41:28 PM EDT] <KK> brb

[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:42:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Are 54 Bees a hive?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:43:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Trying to find the rope one, alas, no joy.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:43:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee54> Bee54, Where Are You?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:43:31 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I'll look for it later.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:43:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, tropical storm likely by the time it crosses Cuba and the other side of the Florida peninsula.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:43:49 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> LOL! I remember that show.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:44:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Me too
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:44:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Fred Gwynn was in something before the Munsters?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:44:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee54> Elsa is going to be a problem for the rescue workers in Surfside.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:44:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:44:55 PM EDT] Nick The_Bee54 is now known as Bee.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:45:31 PM EDT] <derynifank> Happy Canada Day to friends north of the border. Hope it was good
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:45:31 PM EDT] <KK> I'm back. Had to turn on some lights and close the blinds in the great room.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:45:37 PM EDT] <Bee> I'm still in duplicate.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:46:04 PM EDT] <Bee> When is CAnada Day?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:46:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> 1 July
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:46:11 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Last week?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:46:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> it was a few axdys ago
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:46:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It was on 1 July
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:46:36 PM EDT] <derynifank> sorry I was late
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:46:49 PM EDT] <KK> Hey, it's a holiday.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:46:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> No problem!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> NP
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:06 PM EDT] <Bee> Two of my relatives have birthdays that day.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Cool
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:18 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> 7/1?

[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:27 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi TD
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, TD
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi TD!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:32 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi TD
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi TheDeryni!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello TD
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:48 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hi'yas
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:47:57 PM EDT] <Bee> 7/1--wasn't that Princess Diana's birthday?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:48:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Was it?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:48:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Yes
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:48:14 PM EDT] <KK> Where's Bynw tonight? Doing something fun, I hope.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:48:24 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, it was.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:48:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I think he is doing July 4 things
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:48:50 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Haven't heard from him so far
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:48:53 PM EDT] <Bee> Her sons unveiled her new statue.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:48:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't know that he said why, but he did let me know he might not make chat this evening.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:49:05 PM EDT] <derynifank> I think he was going to some kind of 7/4 event
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:49:07 PM EDT] <KK> Probably. I'm going to watch fireworks on tv in a bit. Not dark enough yet.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:49:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Must watch the Capital Fourth
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:49:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If they manage it, I may be able to see the river-barge fireworks show. But it may not happen because Mother Nature has been running a fireworks show all afternoon.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:49:53 PM EDT] <Bee> My tv is offfering several music/fireworks shows tonight.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:49:55 PM EDT] <KK> That's probably the one I'll watch.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:50:17 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Looks like the rain is past us so will not interfer with fireworks
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:50:23 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, you do get a bit of that in Florida.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:50:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I'll watch on tv while I'll be able to hear the local display way too well. My boys will freak when it starts.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:51:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The St. Johns River does a dog-leg through what is now downtown Jacksonville, so the city parks a barge in the river at the "crossbar" of the dogleg and does a professional fireworks show there.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:51:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> My cats all sat around the living room, very close to me, while the fireworks were going on last night.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:51:12 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Will be lots of lost animals by in the morning
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:51:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And now that I have windows that face that direction again, I might be able to see them, if they can do the show.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:51:49 PM EDT] <Bee> Boston's fireworks are on the Common this year, not he Charles River.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:52:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Generally, I think it's a good idea to do the show off the river barge, since you've got a boatload (ha) of water right there if something goes wrong.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:52:39 PM EDT] <Bee> Agreed
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:52:46 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> handy
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:53:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And I don't like messing with them myself. I got in trouble around age thirteen when a friend's neighbor set off a string of firecrackers under the folding lawn chair I was in and I stood up and yelled some words I wasn't supposed to say at that age.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:53:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Although, my friend's mom and my own mom said, under the circumstances, it was justified.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:53:32 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> LOL! I think it could be forgiven
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:53:33 PM EDT] <Bee> Of course they're blaming the change of venue on Covid-19.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:53:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> DR, was one of the words something you have on a pendant?
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:53:58 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Ours is at the local Itty bitty airport. Definitely have water trucks and FD.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:54:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> BRB, going to feed the pup & kit
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:54:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Among others. Along with the unprintable version of "poo."
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:54:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Ours is at the NC State Fairgrounds.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:55:08 PM EDT] <KK> Our local fireworks were canceled.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:55:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> IIRC, it was the less printable version of, "holy freaking poo! what the freak was that?!"
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:55:29 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Lol
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:55:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But firecrackers had just gone off under my bum, so.
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:55:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> lol
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:55:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I am going to sign off. Have a good week, everyone!
[Sunday, July 4, 2021] [7:55:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> night Jerusha
