[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:01:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> hi KK!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:01:51 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:01:52 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all. Wakie wakie.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:02:32 PM EDT] <KK> Oooh, DR, are you going to get any of that tropical storm action?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:02:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Probably.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:02:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not much left of Fred, but Grace still has time to mess with us.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:04:01 PM EDT] <Imladris> Good Even' KK
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:04:40 PM EDT] <Imladris> Grace seems to be falling apart.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:04:48 PM EDT] <KK> Of course, there's storm action all oveer the place. Alexandria VA got clobbered with mega rain today.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:05:29 PM EDT] <Imladris> We had a nice rainstorm yesterday.. I like rain much better than fires.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:05:53 PM EDT] <bynw> no storms here unlike last year
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:06:03 PM EDT] Join The_Bee (The_Bee@owirc-klo.tb3.61.73.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:06:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:06:37 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI DR and everyone! Hi KK!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:06:38 PM EDT] <KK> Rain is definitely preferable to fires.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:06:49 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, Bee.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:07:07 PM EDT] <Imladris> hi Bee
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:07:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'd rather not have too much of either, thank you1
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:07:37 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Bee
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:07:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The only time I want to see fire is in a fireplace or fire pit or campfire.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:07:49 PM EDT] <KK> So, anything exciting (in a good way) happening for anyone?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:08:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I at least I learned what was wrong with my bike: I'd been riding around with a flat tire.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:10:13 PM EDT] <Imladris> told the others.. sorry missed last week, Spouse and I went to Crazy Woman Canyon in the Big Horn Mountains for our anniversary
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:10:30 PM EDT] <KK> That was a good t hing to discover. Not that you had it, but that you found out, so you could get it fixed.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:10:41 PM EDT] <Imladris> Bee, that can adversely affect travel!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:10:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The Pod-Child has a job offer at George Washington University hospital and is going up tomorrow for an in-person interview there and with MedStar (Georgetown U Hospital).
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:11:05 PM EDT] <Imladris> nice
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:11:14 PM EDT] <KK> Congrats, Imladris. And also congrate to DR.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:11:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She wants to move out of Florida, and she likes DC.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:11:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I need to contact a neighbor whose son helped me out before.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:11:48 PM EDT] <KK> Could be worse, could be better. Good luck to her, in any case.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:11:49 PM EDT] <Imladris> that's until she has to actually start paying taxes....
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:12:21 PM EDT] <Imladris> Florida starts to look better then.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:12:34 PM EDT] <KK> Does Florida have state income tax? They didn't, when I lived there, but that's been a while.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:12:39 PM EDT] <Imladris> nope.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:12:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think she'll take having to pay state/district income tax over busting her butt taking care of an overload of COVID patients while the state government tries to pretend everything's fine.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:12:59 PM EDT] <Imladris> and no Estate tax.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:13:00 PM EDT] <KK> Virginia does have them.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:13:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> taxes or covid patients?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:13:31 PM EDT] <KK> Both.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:14:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Her last few shifts, they were actually working under illegal conditions. When patients are seriously ill, they're supposed to have a higher nurse-to-patient ratio (as in, more nurses on duty), and they don't. They can't, because the nurses are all working overtime as it is.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:14:45 PM EDT] <Imladris> I know when moved to Michigan for my Residency... I was expecting a State Income tax.. but went into culture shock at a City income tax too.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:14:48 PM EDT] <KK> Also, more than their share of idiots who refused to get the vaccine or wear masks.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:14:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That too.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:15:14 PM EDT] <KK> City income tax?! Wow!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:15:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The nursing staff (and doctors, too) are stretched so thin, and that's when mistakes happen. Not good for anyone.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:17:07 PM EDT] <Imladris> worse yet.... I didn't live in the city..., but the hospital was there, and while my office was in small town about 20 miles away... check was cut in the city so STILL had to pay half the tax!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:17:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> If people had the common sense to do the right thing, we wouldn't need mandates.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:17:52 PM EDT] <Imladris> which Hosp. she at, DR?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:17:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> UF
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:18:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, UF Jacksonville.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:18:53 PM EDT] <Imladris> long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I interviewed there and an at St Vincent's for residency.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:18:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She worked at UF Gainesville for a while right after she got her RN, then transferred to Jax so she could move home. With kitties. So now there are five cats in my parents' house, all of whom are the Pod-Child's fault, LOL.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:19:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Your Pod-child had kittens!?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:21:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> hi everyone. Sorry to be late
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:21:32 PM EDT] <Imladris> Hey, Derynifan
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:21:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, no, she just keeps finding them.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:22:10 PM EDT] <KK> Or they find her.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:22:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:22:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi DFK
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:23:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> they know a sucker when they see one
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:23:22 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, cats are like that.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:23:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She found PJ on her way either to or from church about 11 years ago, Merlin was born in the neighbor's lawn shed, she found Layla shivering in the rain at her first nursing job, and then Callie and KitKat are foster fails.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:23:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She was fostering in Gainesville.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:23:52 PM EDT] <Imladris> foster fails?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:24:10 PM EDT] <KK> I'd for sure be a foster fail.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:24:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> When you foster an animal and decide to adopt it rather than return it to the shelter for someone else to adopt.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:24:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> my DD1 was like that, always bringing home strays
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:24:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, apparently the Pod-Child's friends were laying bets on how long it would be before she foster-failed. I'm not sure who won the bet.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:24:51 PM EDT] <Imladris> ahhh.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:25:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My whole family is like that, though.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:25:28 PM EDT] <Imladris> DFK, at least they were only cats?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:26:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> A big Chow dog had puppies under my stepdad's lawn shed, and he bought food bowls and a big bag of Puppy Chow and talked to Animal Control about getting Mama-dog spayed and the pups adopted.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:26:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> at one time i had 5 cats and two dogs
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:26:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> MY SISTER WANTED TO ADOPT A STRAY DOG, BUT OUR PARENTS SAID NO.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:26:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> oops shouting again
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:26:46 PM EDT] <KK> We had 5 cats and 3 dogs, at one time.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:27:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> which was over the limit for the city but no one came and got me
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:27:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And he rescued a little Chihuahua who managed to get away from his people; we held on to little pup until his people came to get him. By the time we figured out who his people were, little pup had taken to jumping into my stepdad's lap when he sat down to take a break from yard work and would curl up in the crook of my stepdad's arm.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:27:31 PM EDT] <KK> But then a dog died and a cat left.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:28:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> So my stepdad can (and will) grouse all he likes, but he knows he wouldn't do anything different, even if his house is presently wall-to-wall cat fur.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:28:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We named the dog Necktie because he had a stripe like one. He store a string of hot dogs from the supermarket. "SEE! he can feed himself!" my sister said.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:28:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:29:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> stole not store
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:29:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> even after my dd1 left home, she landed me with strays. Rescued a dog that had been left in a yard when the people moved. Her landlord didn't allow animals so guess who ended up with the dog.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:29:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:30:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's what my stepdad says about the three (PJ, Merlin, and Layla) who are technically family pets. They're all the Pod-Child's fault and why does he end up with all her strays?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:30:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> She was a good dog though, loved to go for car rides
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:30:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> People who can't be trusted to care for pets don't deserve to have them.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:30:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> True
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:30:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Cause he's a good guy
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:30:56 PM EDT] <Imladris> IgE seems to keep our cats and dogs away... trying to figure out how to denature the cat and dog antigens from the previous house owner. Just bought a bottle of D-Limonene.. is supposed to help.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:30:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup, and he's a critter-charmer.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:30:59 PM EDT] <KK> Very true.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:31:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have yet to see a cat or dog he couldn't befriend.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:31:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> IgE?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:31:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But then, he grew up helping on his grandparents' farm, so he learned that early.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:32:06 PM EDT] <Imladris> Immunoglobulin E... the one that causes allergies...:-(
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:32:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ah, thanks
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:32:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Hi!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:32:58 PM EDT] <Imladris> Hi, Sarah
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:33:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI, Sarah!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:33:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Sarah!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:33:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> There is a new pet food that advertises that it reduces the allergens in pet fur. DOn't know if it works
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:33:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Hi Bee, and DR!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:33:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm in two places at once, because it's easier to post the log from IRC than from Discord.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:33:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've seen the ads.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:33:34 PM EDT] <Imladris> dfk, does it work on carpets?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:34:36 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Sarah
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:34:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Just on the fur, they have to eat it but if it works then the fur on carpets and furniture and everywhere else sould hev less allergens in it.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:34:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Hi bynw!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:35:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hi y'all
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:35:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Sarah
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:35:36 PM EDT] <KK> Makes sense. Don't know if it actually makes a difference, though.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:35:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hey CW.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:35:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI CW
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:35:58 PM EDT] <Imladris> Hi CW
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:36:03 PM EDT] <bynw> nice to see you here Sarah :)
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:36:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Hey yall! I'm super interested in this allergen reducing pet food, too. Going to have to look into it as I'm sensitive to my doggos
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:36:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Hi, CW
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:36:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I haven't seen anything about how well it works but it is fairly new
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:36:39 PM EDT] <KK> I think it's one of the Purina chows, but I could be mistaken.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:36:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Do they have it for dogs? I've only seen it advertised for cats.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:37:30 PM EDT] <KK> Well, that's a starting place. I think more people are allergic to cats than to dogs.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:38:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> You'd be right, KK. My allergies are not specific by any means. I get random triggers, too.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:38:14 PM EDT] <KK> Of course, some people are allergic to anything with fur.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:38:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Look on Chewy. They advertise some allergen reducing fooods for dogs as well as cats. One is called Karma and one is from Hill's
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:39:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Looks like the Purina one is called Pro Plan LiveClear. I'm having trouble finding the dog one, but there's definitely a cat-food line.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:39:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:40:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:40:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:40:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Hi, Jerusha!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:40:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:40:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> DR, there may not be a dog one developed just yet
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:40:31 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:40:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Bynw
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:40:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I have just seen the one for cats
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:41:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> You have to read carefully because some of the hypoallergenic foods treat the animal's allergies not ours
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:41:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What about anti-allergen baths for dogs?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:41:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Oh! That's good info! One of my dogs has reasonably severe skin allergies, external not food related
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:42:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Tractor Supply Co. Has a catch-all shampoo thats anti microbial, antifungal, etc... it helps my Luna TONS

[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:43:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi TD
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:43:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi TD
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:43:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> hiya TheDeryni
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:44:00 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Howdy, all!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:44:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> How are you doing?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:44:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Hey, The_Deryni!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:44:33 PM EDT] <bynw> hi TD
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:44:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Oops, typos abound. Sorry.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:44:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Rented fingers, a universal problem
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:45:02 PM EDT] * TheDeryni smiles
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:45:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Absolutely
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:45:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Are there any other kind?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:45:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> People's hands actually type what they meant to type? Sounds fake, but okay. ;)
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:45:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> 😂
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:46:04 PM EDT] <The_Bee> slip of he tongue, slip of the fingers
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:46:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I hate auto correct. Darned machine thinks it knows better what i want to say than I do
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:46:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I like to think they type what I meant to type. No such luck
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:47:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> They're called Freudian slips.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:48:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> opinion sneaking past manners
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:49:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Good one Bee
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:51:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What about slips of the ear? When you hear what you want (or fear or expect) to hear?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:51:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> drops a pin
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:51:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> CRASH!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:52:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Then they just tell you to get a hearing aid
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:52:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> Selective hearing. Alot like the men in my family have.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:52:54 PM EDT] <KK> I'm always amused when I misread a sign and do a double-take. Can't remember any specific instances right now, but they happen frequently.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:53:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Note to self: do not try to eat ramen around cats!
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:53:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Do men have any other kind?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:53:45 PM EDT] <KK> It can be a challenge, Catherine.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:54:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Nope. Unless they don't hear you at all
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:54:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That happens too
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:54:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> I imagine it's a bit like eating around my dog, Luna. She gives us the sweetest little face propped on our knees.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:54:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Do cats like ramen and it isn't good for them?
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:54:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Sterling stiffed, but didn't like it. Cooper thought it'd be a good toy.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:55:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "Let's chase the slimy noodles!"
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:55:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I had a cat who used to pat me on the arm with her paw, if no food was forthcoming, she used teeth next
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:55:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I put spring onions in mine, so no, not good for cats.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:55:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or me
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:56:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> My friends cat used to stael green beans, not to eat but to play with. Uncooked of course
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:56:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Sarah> One of my barn cats is like that. If she wants attention and you don't see or feel her paw, claws next and a little squeak.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:57:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Green beans make great toys.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:57:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> yes they do. He loved them
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:58:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Melantha used to play with plastic twist ties.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:58:47 PM EDT] * TheDeryni lifts his head up off the table, looks around quizzically and says "Huh, I thought someone said something." and lays his head back down
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:59:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I had one that would hide them under the Persian rug for later, then forget about them.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:59:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> my grandson's cat likes to chase nerf datrs and play fetch with them
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:59:33 PM EDT] * The_Bee sings The_Deryni a lullaby.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [7:59:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear. I hope that was twist ties and not green beans. EWW
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:00:04 PM EDT] <KK> The plastic rings that come off some milk jugs make great cat toys.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:00:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Nope, green beans.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:00:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> EWW
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:00:29 PM EDT] <KK> If they were uncooked, they probably weren't too bad.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:00:44 PM EDT] <KK> Not that different from a leaf.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:00:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I think they just shrivel up
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:01:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> But not what you want on the underside of your Persian carpet
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:01:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> They'd mummify.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:01:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> So true
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:01:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> If I had a persian carpet
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:01:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> They'd usually end up under the carpet pad.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:01:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> pictures a little Egyptian cat mummyfying green beans
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:02:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> wonder what the archeologists thought when they found them
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:03:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ancient cat culture: bean that done that
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:03:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> LOL
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:03:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Egyptians were smart, cats ruled
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:04:07 PM EDT] <Imladris> double checks.... Egyptian cats couldn't... Green beans are native to new world....
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:04:17 PM EDT] <KK> Ack, Booker is campaigning for supper, and I just realized that I need to open a new sack of kibble and transfer it to the storage bin before I can do that. So I think I'll say goodnight for this week.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:04:18 PM EDT] * TheDeryni blinks at Jerusha & smiles
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:04:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> details, details....
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:04:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Sterling says to tell y'all hello, that he doesn't play with green beans.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:04:35 PM EDT] <Imladris> night, KK
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:04:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Night KK.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:04:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Night KK
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:04:51 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:05:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, KK
[Sunday, August 15, 2021] [8:05:04 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters, all. See you next week.

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
