[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:14:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Hello KK
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:14:47 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Aerlys
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:14:47 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:14:50 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi Aerlys
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:14:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello, KK
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:14:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:14:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Hello Aerlys
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:14:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello KK
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:14:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:15:03 PM EDT] <Laurna> Aerlys, good to see you
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:15:09 PM EDT] <Aerlys> Hey all!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:15:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Aerlys
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:15:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> adds peanut butter chocolate shortbread bars to the Chatroom table.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:15:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Aerlys
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:15:22 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all. Sorry I'm late. Critters were demanding to be fed.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:15:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> OOh yummy
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:15:33 PM EDT] <bynw> we all understand critters
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:15:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> yep
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:15:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Wise of them to ask before you got online, since we might keep you busy for a while... =o)
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:16:24 PM EDT] <KK> At least Gus is putting some weight back on, with the wet kidney diet. Won't touch the dry stuff now that he knows the wet.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:16:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Found the recipe in last week's Sunday Food Section of the paper. But it's still too warm to want to bake anything around here.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:16:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> spoiled Gus
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:16:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Glad it is working for him
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:16:52 PM EDT] * The_Bee sets out flagons of mead and a platter of manchet bread with honey and clotted cream.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:17:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, when you're a 1 9 year-old cat, you want your perks!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:17:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> Bee that might wake up Revanne across the pond
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:17:44 PM EDT] <KK> Absolutely. And sadly, he's now beginning to look like an elderly cat. Up until aa few weeks ago, you'd never have guessed that he's 19.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:17:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm wondering when the next shipment of wet kidney care cat-food is coming for melantha.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:18:10 PM EDT] <KK> Is that what Melantha eats, too?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:18:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Do you get it from Chewy
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:18:16 PM EDT] <KK> The Hills brand?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:18:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> If I can get her to eat anything. She prefers treats.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:18:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Today during family Zoom, Dmitri insisted on joining in. For a while he was looking right into the camera. My brother said he was glad not to be a mouse.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:18:47 PM EDT] <KK> I need to check with Chewy on that. Has to be less expensive than getting it from the vet.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:19:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:19:22 PM EDT] <bynw> most likely less than the vet
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:19:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:19:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hills or Blue
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:19:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> would imagine less than the vet. EVERYTHING is more expensive at the vet
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:20:09 PM EDT] <KK> Blue has a kidney diet?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:20:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> And more of them ae selling products, like the pet food they recommend. My vey just started doing that
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:20:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> With chewy I'd need a prescription from the vat, wouldn't I?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:20:39 PM EDT] <KK> Actually, the enzyme chew that Booker eats are cheaper at the vet.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:21:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I don't think so
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:21:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I haven't been able to get Melantha to take her thyroid medicine, even when I hide it in a treat.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:21:58 PM EDT] <KK> Should be able to get the prescription from the vet for Chewy.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:22:03 PM EDT] <bynw> cats are good at finding meds in food and treats
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:22:36 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I have an order with the vet now.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:22:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> If anyone can develop a foolproof way to get medicine in a cat, they will make a forune
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:23:10 PM EDT] <bynw> one that doesn't require armor or an army
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:23:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Never underestimate the lavish supply of fools!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:23:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Unfortunately it tends to require knowing the cat.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:23:37 PM EDT] <KK> True. It's like wrestling with a Cuisinart.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:23:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> And sometimes that's not even enough
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:23:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I used to use petco; there's a store in my neighborhood.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:24:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That calls up a very interesting mental picture, KK... 🤣
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:24:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Kildara, my SIL *is* younger than you, but not by all that much. All three of my brothers are considerably older than I, and the two that are still living are married to contemporaries.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:25:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My vet gave me a little tube, but Melantha won't open her mouth.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:25:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And hi Shiral, Bee, KK, Aerlys and anyone else who came in while I was afk.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:26:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DR
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:26:16 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, DR.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:26:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi hi.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:26:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I was saying earlier that the cat factory seems to have forgotten to install the give-a-damn when they made Carys.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:26:50 PM EDT] <KK> LOL
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:27:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She had been lounging in the crook of my left arm, tummy up, letting me pet her tummy fur, not a care in the world.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:27:22 PM EDT] <Aerlys> We now have a kitty...sort of. An outside cat who adopted us. We call him Nicholas. This house is a rental so we can't have him inside. But he's a sweet boy Kind of my daughter's emotional support kitty
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:27:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Awwwww!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:28:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Aw! What does he look like?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:28:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> When I'm at my desk, Dmitri is on the desk surface making it hard for me to type or use the mouse, and Tati is often doing figure eights around my feet and ankles UNDER the desk
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:28:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> IIRC, KK had a Nicholas-kitty who was a ginger tabby.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:28:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> Aerlys I saw the pics of your kids going to school. My how Rhys has grown.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:29:29 PM EDT] <Aerlys> Nicky is mostly black with white markings. Short hair.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:29:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Aw!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:29:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Tuxedo, or cow-print?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:29:52 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good for the kids to have Nicky Kitty
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:30:01 PM EDT] <KK> A tuxedo, then, of sorts.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:30:40 PM EDT] <Aerlys> Rhys is almost 6! Very sweet. And almost a redhead like his namesake
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:30:56 PM EDT] <Aerlys> More tuxedo
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:31:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Rhys Thuryn's hair was probably lighter when he was six years old.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:31:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Mickey's between tuxedo and cow-print. Melantha's black.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:31:39 PM EDT] <Aerlys> My two other redheads are far more red
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:31:48 PM EDT] <bynw> i've always liked black kitties
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:32:09 PM EDT] <KK> I've had at least half a dozen mostly black kitties.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:32:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys is too smart for words. I told her I'd get her wet food/probiotic after chat, and she is sitting on the desk above the keyboard tray with bated breath.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:32:24 PM EDT] <KK> And nearly that many gingers.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:32:29 PM EDT] <bynw> but of course mine isn't a black kitty since i've got my 15 year old begnal baby
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:33:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Black cats exist to allow humans the chance to be owned by a miniature panther. (change "black" to "tabby," and you can change "panther" to "tiger.")
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:33:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> I have been looking at a lot of images of red head ladies to find the right Richenda
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:33:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys is my little house-tiger.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:33:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Pan, one of my first cats in my own right was a black cat. At least he looked black in electric light. In sunlight, he was the color of black coffee.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:33:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I call Melantha my mini-panther.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:34:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Murray is a ginger tabby but my outside cat is black
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:34:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> @Laurna, do you have any kind of photomanipulation apps?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:34:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Tati is a little creamsicle tabby. Sort of apricot colored.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:34:50 PM EDT] <Aerlys> Aww
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:34:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> Evie had found one. and Bynw reminded wehere she posted it
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:34:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> I've been changing up everyone's hair like crazy the past couple of weeks.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:35:35 PM EDT] <KK> How has Evie fared with the storms?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:35:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I got my first haircut in 1-1/2 years. It cost &0 bucks.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:35:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 70 bucks
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:36:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> Last week she said she was good. just rain.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:36:23 PM EDT] <KK> Wow, you need to find another stylist. That sounds high for just a haircut.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:36:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> That had better be a good hair cut BEE
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:36:33 PM EDT] <Aerlys> Holy moly Bee. Did they use good scissors??
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:36:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> and Dr M did ok
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:37:35 PM EDT] <KK> Of course, that's Boston. Still....
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:37:37 PM EDT] <The_Bee> shampoo and cuat, but still pricey. My old shop is replaced by "Sport Cuts."
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:38:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> I guess you don't want to get to Sporty with all that bike riding
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:38:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I didn't ask the price, so I didn't find outtil I looked up my credit card.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:38:52 PM EDT] <Kildara> Re the storms - one of the PA/NJ tornados was only abut 5 miles from my house - we had almost no wind; they had massive devastation.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:38:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> Does not matter as long as you like the cut.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:39:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm not even sure Sport Cuts accepts women.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:39:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Wow, I'm glad it missed you
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:39:23 PM EDT] <Kildara> Me too
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:39:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> Too close for comfort
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:39:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Tornadoes and other storms should keep their distance.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:39:54 PM EDT] <Kildara> It was so strange though - quiet here
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:40:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> And the more distance the better
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:40:19 PM EDT] <Aerlys> Washington weather is boring.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:40:22 PM EDT] <Kildara> Totally imaginary storms would be best
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:40:52 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I still react to a blizzard like a kid getting a day off from school.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:40:54 PM EDT] <Kildara> I love Washington (state) though
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:40:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Wsahington state or DC
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:41:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> I like boring weather. The radio host said today, they only way to tell the change in season was by the change in the coffee flavors
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:41:06 PM EDT] <Aerlys> State
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:41:19 PM EDT] <KK> We had a couple of bouts of heavy downpours, but nothing too drastic--thank God!

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:41:22 PM EDT] <Kildara> I used to live there - on the Olympic Peninsula - it was beautiful
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:41:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Imladris

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:41:48 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, Imladris.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:41:51 PM EDT] <Kildara> Hello Imladris
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:41:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> Did the grandpups come to play?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hey Jerusha
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:22 PM EDT] <Aerlys> It is beautiful here, but this has been an extremely dry summer. Everything is so brown .
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusa
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:26 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Jerusha.

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:30 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Imladris
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sorry to be late; too many dishes after dinner
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:33 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We've had record rain.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:42:55 PM EDT] <Aerlys> Im a Midwestern girl. I miss a good thunderstorm.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:43:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:43:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> Was the storm Larry heading your way, bee
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:43:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> as long as I don't have to be out in a thunderstorm....
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:43:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Missed Boston. rained mostly on Eastern Canada
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:43:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Larry that is
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:43:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Ah good
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:44:04 PM EDT] <Imladris> Hi, can't see most of what is being written
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:44:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not if you are in eastern Canada
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:44:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> So Cal has no reason to watch the weather channel.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:44:20 PM EDT] <Aerlys> I have a good friend in Boston. He wants me to move there. Or at least visit.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:44:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What happened to storms J and K?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:44:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Out in the middle of the Atlantic, I believe.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:44:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Swept through Atlantic Canada
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:44:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Aerlys
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:45:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Do you know their names?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:45:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> BRB

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:46:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> DS1's name is Nicholas. Makes me smile
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:46:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi CW
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:46:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> It is weird having the name of a storm.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:47:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Suits DS1
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:47:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> when Laura attacked last year, I cringed
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:47:32 PM EDT] <Aerlys> My oldest started s named Andrew. When he was a toddler we called him Hurricane.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:47:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I fell asleep in my chair, Cooper unplugged Alexa so I didn't get my reminder.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:47:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:47:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> There was a TS Nora in the Eastern Pacific earlier this season.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:47:53 PM EDT] <Aerlys> Me too Laura
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:48:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She rained on Baja California a good bit.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:48:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> RIght
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:48:15 PM EDT] <Aerlys> Laurna. Darn auto correct.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:48:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> When I was young, the third hurricane of the season didn't come until August or September. My first was Hurricane Carol, named for my mother.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:48:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> My youngest granddaughter was called tiny tornado because she could clean off a table in no time
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:49:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Having a letter near the end of the alphabet means that you don't usually have eto worry about that. 🙂
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:49:18 PM EDT] <KK> I finally took the time to look up the hurricane during which I was born. It was a biggie, sweeping between the western end of Cuba and south Florida. They didn't yet name them then.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:49:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Do Atlantic and Pacific hurricanes reverse the male-female names?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:49:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My family has a lot of jokes about children and storms because children can make such a mess so quickly.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:49:40 PM EDT] <bynw> that's a rip off for you KK
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:49:46 PM EDT] <bynw> you should name it then
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:49:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hurricane Katherine.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:49:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> Agreed. it should have a name
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:50:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> In the Atlantic they alternate female and male names bot sure about how they nametyphoons
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:51:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think also, if the Atlantic's A name is a masculine name, the Eastern Pacific's A name will be a feminine name.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:51:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Such as with current storm Nicholas and recent storm Nora. Cue the Thin Man jokes.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:51:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> Equal oppertunity storm names
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:51:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Love the Thin Man
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:51:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> They used to be all female; when did they start using male names?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:51:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That I don't know.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:51:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> About 20-ish years ago?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:51:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Me too Jerusha
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:51:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Certainly before 1979, because I vaguely remember David.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:52:08 PM EDT] <bynw> yeah somewhere around the turn of the century
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:52:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I remember a couple of years ago where an Atlantic storm with a female name crossed Mexico and was renamed with a male name.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:52:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I used to like the Thin Man TV series.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:52:42 PM EDT] <KK> I liked the Thin Man too.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:52:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> TV series and movies were good
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:53:01 PM EDT] <bynw> nope stand corrected. it was 1979 with David
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:53:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> a transsexual hurricane? X-P
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:53:10 PM EDT] <bynw> that was the first
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:53:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I was in boot camp when David came through.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:53:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> That was my comment, Bee.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:53:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> David was the first?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:53:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> I read that as you were at camp David. Dislexia strikes
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:53:49 PM EDT] <KK> That must have made for some interesting maneuvers and runs.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My bio-father was visiting me in Charleston, and I bugged him until he let me go to the pool during the eye.

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Hello Merchant
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:20 PM EDT] <bynw> hi MerchantDeryni
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi MD
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not my brightest idea but I was three. He on the other hand ought to have known better.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi MerchantDeryni
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi MerchantDeryni
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi MerchantDeryni
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:35 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, Merchant.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:40 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> hello everyone
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello MD
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:54:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Running through the rain to and from the chow hall. They wouldn't let us out for anything else.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:55:06 PM EDT] <KK> So lots of pt in the gym?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:55:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> DR did you ge out of the pool before the eye exited and the storm came bak?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:55:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:55:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> The eye only lasts 30 minutes or less, doesn't it?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:55:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Depends on the storm, but yeah, not generally very long.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:55:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Merchant
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:55:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Nope, couldn't get to the gym.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:55:52 PM EDT] <KK> Depends on the size of the eye and how fast the storm is moving.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:56:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I think it depends on the size of the eye
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:56:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> I would be afraid of lightning near the eye.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:56:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not entirely certain how sober Dad was.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:56:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Big eye= more intense?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:57:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> What did your mother say?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:57:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She wasn't there at the moment. Dad and I were at the motel.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:57:34 PM EDT] <KK> When I was very little, my parents told tales of having to brace against the walls of the trailer's porch, and changing to the other side when the eye opassed and the wind began to come from the opposite direction. I was probably 4 or 5.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:58:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You were in a trailer?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:58:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> On the sail boat we watched three masive thunderstorms dancing all around us. two had ligntning going cloud to cloud and the one nearest was strinking the water
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:58:18 PM EDT] <KK> Yep, until I started first grade and our house was finished.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:58:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> That sounds scary
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:58:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> Wow KK
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:58:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh my!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:59:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Trailer not the place to be in a hurricane or any big storm

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:59:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> WB Imladris
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:59:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> welcome back Imladris
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:59:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 1
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:59:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Imladris
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:59:58 PM EDT] <KK> I guess not, but that was all we had. Actually, I might have been at my grandparents' house, a few blocks away, while my paarents literrly held down the fort.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [7:59:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Tornadoes seen to take dead aim for trailors
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:00:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I've heard other folks reminisce about holding trailer walls during bad storms.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:00:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> HI Imladris
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:00:10 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am guessing that your parents got through the storm where you were born and decided they could handle any lesser weather
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:00:21 PM EDT] <imladris> thanks... was late because went on a sightseeing helicopter... but then couldn't get in....
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:00:47 PM EDT] <KK> We were in a fairly close-packed trailer park, with the wash house directly across the street--which probably provided a bit of a windbreak.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:01:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Wash house for clothes or bodies?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:01:15 PM EDT] <KK> I think they were still living with his parents when I was born.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:01:22 PM EDT] <KK> Both.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:01:51 PM EDT] <KK> Rememebr that this was right after WW II, and housing was scarce, especially for newlyweds.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:01:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That sounds like murder-mystery fodder. Washing clothes and bodies in a wash house.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:01:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Think of the storm Dhugal and Mirjana created to sink the Tplan ships
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:02:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> The Wash House Murders
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:02:43 PM EDT] <Laurna> The Wash House Cappers
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:03:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> The whole investigation was a wash
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:03:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I gave away my mundane tent, which has lost its carrying bag and possibly its rain fly, and my stepdad just bundled it up as best he could and tied it with nylon rope.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:03:47 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The killer made a clean getaway.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:03:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> When I met my friends to give it to them, they took one look at it (in the hatchback of my car) and started laughing about how it looked like a body wrapped in a tarp.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:04:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Tee ee
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:04:16 PM EDT] <KK> One end of the building was toilets and showers, the other one had big zinc sinks. I remember taking a little brown rubber cat with me for a bath in one of those sinks, and it got lost down the drain. I was heartbroken.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:04:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Tee hee, I meant
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:04:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Sorry my battery died
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:04:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> aww
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:04:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (It kind of did, but it was far lighter weight than any human body that size would be. Friends wanted it for their kid, so kid can have their own space when camping and parents can have the privacy of the big tent.)
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:05:03 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds reasonable to me.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:05:28 PM EDT] <KK> Imladris, can you see the text now? Are you still with us?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:05:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL DR
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:05:49 PM EDT] <imladris> sounds like the "naval air barracks" at Ft Lauderdale airport. went to second grade there....
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:06:10 PM EDT] <imladris> we actually had reading group in winter around a pot belly stove.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:06:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I meant that as a comment about the Wash House murder mysteries
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:06:13 PM EDT] <KK> Imladris, how did you get a helicopter ride?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:07:05 PM EDT] <imladris> was a tour with "Black Hills Helicopters" beautiful
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:07:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> I have never been in a Helicopter. sounds like fun
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:07:25 PM EDT] <imladris> Took a ton of photos.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:07:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Leaves turning yet?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:07:39 PM EDT] <KK> I'll bet. I got a ride in an LAPD helicopter once. It was cool!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:07:40 PM EDT] <imladris> minimally,
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:08:00 PM EDT] <KK> No leaves turning here yet.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:08:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ours are just starting
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:08:17 PM EDT] <KK> Soo, though. Weather is turning, cooler at night.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:08:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ours won't turn until next spring.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:08:22 PM EDT] <imladris> Last time I was in one was 1990.... At "Camp Bullas" in a UH1
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:08:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> My ol' man just reported the first sign of leaves turning yesterday
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:08:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Mine are starting to show hints of color.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:08:52 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've read one prediction for a spectacular fall season this year.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:09:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Only trees around here that really change are liquid amber. They're not in the mood, yet
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:09:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys "helping" me sew, a couple of days ago. https://imgur.com/a/BoKQUVf
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:09:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ours are starting a bit late, but it has been very dry. Until the downpour yesterday
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:09:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Aww, li'l sweetie!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:09:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup. That's the kind of help cats give. Dmitri always helps me read the Sunday morning paper.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:10:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Cute kitty
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:10:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She's a wonderful fabric weight, until I need to move the fabric, LOL.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:10:03 PM EDT] <imladris> Spouse had never been in 'copter
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:10:10 PM EDT] <KK> What were you sewing, DR?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:10:18 PM EDT] <Aerlys> Ours actually started in August.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:10:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I don't think I've ever been in a helicopter, either.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:10:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm experimenting with a lining for the skirt of one of my GFDs/kirtles/cotehardies.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:11:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> GFD?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:11:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've decided that my solution for using a cane in garb is going to be tacking up my skirts so they look like I've tucked them in my belt and wearing hosen (actually mundane leggings) underneath.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:11:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Gothic Fitted Dress.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:11:51 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds like a plan.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:12:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But I made all three of the GFDs a long time ago, and I sort of feel like my sewing skill has leveled up a bit, and I don't really want to show my ratty old seam finishes.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:12:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And I also am hoping, if this works, to use the technique on my long-delayed blue silk court garb (line the skirt with the silver silk I originally intended to become the sideless surcoat).
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:13:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sounds exquisite
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:13:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys was making sure the lining gores didn't get away from me, in the picture.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:13:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Show us pics when the garments are done, DR.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:13:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Will do.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:14:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> love sewing projects
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:14:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> That is one considerate kitty
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:14:29 PM EDT] <bynw> you are very skilled at it Laurna
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:14:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If anyone remembers from Facebook a few years ago, the lilac print dress of the 6 yd hem is the same pattern, but right now I'm working on the red one. I also have a gray one.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:14:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:14:48 PM EDT] <KK> I need to rescue my machine from the old house--but not the cabinet. Not room for that here.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:14:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> i don't know anymore. It has been a long while since I sewed anything.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:15:05 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> my wife quilts, and I think she is insanely talented at colour combinations, but she gets frustrated if the seams are not perfectly straight.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:15:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> I did clean up my sewing room. And I just have been cleaning up my library room too
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:15:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I'm sure you have not lost your talent
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:15:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> MD, I'll bet she's always frustrated then, isn't she? 😉
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:15:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, sew something small/not too complicated to get back into the groove.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:15:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> It was fun getting all th books back on the shelves where they should be
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:16:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> @KK, what do you sew? Costumes?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:16:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Quilting is above my pay grade. I probably ought to learn, simply to use up all the weird little fabric scraps I accumulate, LOL.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:16:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> As seamstress I'm a pretty good reader.

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> That is lovely MD. Tell your wife
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (I'm guessing Kira is the puppy dog.)
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> Ohh Look at the doggy. Oh wait not look at the Quilt
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> So gorgeous!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:20 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> She made this quilt, and my dog Kira is modelling on it. Yes, that is my dumb as a bag of bricks dog.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Siberian?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> WOW! Who's the dog?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That was a lot of work she put into that dog bed.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:45 PM EDT] <KK> I did sew costumes. And made my wedding gown. Mostly mending and alterations, these days. Makes me wonder whether I need to take up real estate with a machine at all.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> So much heart, no room for brains?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:17:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My sister is a quilter, too. She spends a week most summers with fellow quilters and comes back absolutely bursting with enthusiasm.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:18:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (my last was re: the pretty doggie)
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:18:24 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> Siberian. Kira is her name,
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:18:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I can knit and crochet but not so hot at sewing. It's been too long since I did anything but repairs
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:18:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Pretty Kira
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:18:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I can crochet, but I still need to get with revanne and see if she can teach me to cast on again.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:18:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> I've always wanted to invest in a sewing machine and take up that hobby, but oy, where to put the machine and how to find the time?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:19:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I could knit in high school, but I have lost something somewhere in the intervening thirty years.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:19:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm realizing I need to make more masks. All the ones I have I made nearly a year ago and they're showing signs of wear.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:19:13 PM EDT] <imladris> I sew well on skin... cloth / seams not so much. buttons I do...
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:19:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Crocheting I can do. Once I'm past the center, I don't usually have to think about it beyond counting rows
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:19:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Imladris, lol
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:19:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You can sometimes find secondhand sewing machines and are pretty good quality for not ridiculous money.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:19:51 PM EDT] * DesertRose is totally not a crafting enabler. Not moi!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:19:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Heavens no.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> *that, not and.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My mom tried to teach me to knit, but she never showed me how to cast on.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Clearly I am tired.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> DR, can you loan me the time I'll need to take up the hobby? 😉
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The day I bought the machine I have now, I'm quite sure I left the house without any intention to buy a sewing machine, but somehow, I came home with one, anyway.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:38 PM EDT] <imladris> had to sew my spouse's arms on an Easter Sunday, when her nasty iguana bit her arm and she pulled away shredding it a bit...
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'd ask to trade it for energy, but I think that's a deficit we share.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:47 PM EDT] * bynw has several hobbies
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Owie!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> We restarted the sewing class but because it had been 1year and a half since we had gotten togeather, all we did was talk, and drink tea
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:20:51 PM EDT] <imladris> arm - singular
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:21:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Recently Ive taken up drawing again, been drawing bunches of characters. From my own stories, and several Deryni as well.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:21:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Still, owie.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:21:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It was soon after I moved into my present home, and what do you know? there's a big quilt/sewing store right down the road from where I am....
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:21:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Laurna, isn't that the way they all end up?

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:21:39 PM EDT] <imladris> it was the shape of a heart.. people thought she was into twilight...
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:21:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I once used a treadle machine. it was easier because it was slower.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:21:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have art languishing in folders too, but the motor tremor is messing with me and I get cranky when I try to draw or do calligraphy becaues I can't keep my pen/pencil steady enough.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:21:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Drawing is less expensive than quilting. Until you start buying better drawing paper and pens
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:22:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> a very long time ago we actually sewed
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:22:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> I'd rather have an iguana bite me than whip me with its tail
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:22:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Shiral, I've been using my iPad, lerning Procreate. Quite inexpensive. 🙂
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:22:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> DR, that bites! 😦
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:22:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have actually thought about trying to convert my machine to treadle, but I'm guessing that since my left leg has decided that operating a clutch pedal is a no, it's not going to go for treadle sewing.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:22:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, yes, but you had to buy the iPad at some point, right?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:22:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You are creating ipads?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:23:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I thought you needed sex to procreate.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:23:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Shiral, I already had the iPad. So it was a flat investment with no add-on purchases required. 🙂
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:23:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:23:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, my rheumatologist ordered an entire boatload and a half of bloodwork and I see her again on 1 October, and maybe she'll have some ideas that include symptom improvements.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:23:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Bee, I already know how to do that... 😉
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:23:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> heheheh
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:24:23 PM EDT] <imladris> Nezz, normally yes. but she pulled away quickly...
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:24:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Did that once. She turned 29 this past Wednesday.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:24:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I cannot believe my baby Pod-Child will be thirty next year.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:24:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I've tried doing artwork on the computer. I find I still like drawing and painting offline, better
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:25:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Shiral, some of the tablet drawing apps are apparently like using a pencil (except you're using a stylus) on paper (but tablet screen).
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:25:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> DS3 will be 35 on Saturday
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:26:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> I would say that he is officially grown up
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:26:12 PM EDT] <Kildara> This has been lovely (even though I mostly lurked) but have to go -- be here again soon I hope.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:26:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Shiral, that's the way I've always done it. But I fiinally decide I needed to learn ProCreate. It's been a lot of fun because you can try on different clothes and different hairststyles without destroying the originals. It's like playing with paperdolls. 🙂
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:26:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Come on any time, Kildara.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:26:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> have a good day Kildara
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:26:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Take care Kildara
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:26:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Some of us are around most of the time, so say hi whenever. And of course KK is generally here on Sundays.

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:26:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Heck. I was going to say g'night, but she bailed too fast for me.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:26:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Come again Kildara

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:27:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> KK congrates on having an Official Fan Club
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:01 PM EDT] <KK> Woo, I have to take a look!
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Happy to be an official fan
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We're official?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz (Bethane)> Oh yeah. We're officially fanboying and fangirling all over you and your work. 🙂
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:17 PM EDT] <bynw> we are official
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Yes we are
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I know. I just can't get the results to look the way I want when I draw on the computer. For that matter, I'm always struggling with that when I draw offline too. I just find it a more frustrating process with the iPad or computer. Even though I have a stylus, and even though I use good software. I find it frustrating to have a sheet of glass between me and wat I'm working on.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Official fan club?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> better official than officious.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We're that too, sometimes, Bee.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We can be both.
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:28:57 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> I have to take the dog out. Have a good evening everyone.

[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:29:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Has anyone heard from cynicalmedic?
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:29:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> Bynw, you need to have Feyd cast some spell that will make leaving harder
[Sunday, September 12, 2021] [8:29:40 PM EDT] <KK> And I also need to bail. I was going to eat before chat, but then I got a phone call from an old friend, and only had time to feed the dritters.
