[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [6:58:55 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [6:59:02 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, KK
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [6:59:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK. So glad to have you back
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [6:59:26 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Glad you have a working computer now
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [6:59:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo KK! 🙂
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [6:59:57 PM EDT] <KK> Good to be back. And office is ever so much more pleasant with that dratted roll-top desk out of here, even if my present desk is just a folding table.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:00:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:00:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Roll-top desk just too big?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:00:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> As long as it holds the computer and you have a chair
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:00:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Did the roll top just take up too much room
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:00:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mermaid time was earlier this afternoon.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:01:01 PM EDT] <KK> I needed someone to be able to get down on their hands and knees to plug things back together. I could get down, but no guarantee that I'd be able to get back up.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:01:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Mmmmm, I used to draw mermaids... maybe it's time to try again
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:01:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My computer had an attack of stupid earlier this afternoon, although it's less the fault of the machine than of Microsoft.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:01:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I know what you mean. I can getdown but getting p is kinda sscary
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:02:00 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, roll-top desk was just too massive for the rather small room. It had been Scott's, and he liked it, but it was too much for what I need.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:02:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, down is OK, up is nearly impossible
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:02:21 PM EDT] <KK> Mermaid time?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:02:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Roll top desks are pretty, but I hear you about too much furniture for the space.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:02:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I went swimming.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:02:45 PM EDT] <KK> Ah. Good old Florida weather.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:02:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I reserved a lap lane at the YMCA, and I set my IRC away ID to DR_playing_mermaid.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:02:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> And Laurna has mermaidsin her front yard
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, also, good old YMCA indoor pool.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:14 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Gotta run heat up some mac & cheese for Lou, BRB
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> She has been hooked since seeing the movie Mermaid when she was younger
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Skeleton mermaids.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Splash was the name of the movie.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:41 PM EDT] <KK> Skeleton mermaids sound kinda creepy.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:48 PM EDT] Join The_Bee (The_Bee@owirc-hc3.tb3.61.73.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Mermaids was that Cher movie, wasn't it?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Bee
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:55 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Bee.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Halloween decorations in Laurna's yard, KK.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:03:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:04:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Yup, I forgot.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:04:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Bee
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:04:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi all! And Hello KK!!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:04:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, the one with Winona Rider and a very young Christina Ricci as Cher's daughters.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:04:18 PM EDT] <KK> Ah. Skeleton mermaids?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:04:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The skeleton mermaids are Laurna's Halloween decorations.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:04:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> They are really cool
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:05:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They are. I love seeing really cool outdoor decorations like that.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:05:17 PM EDT] <KK> Ah. An interesting take on the season. But sounds like they could have come from Pirates of the Caribbean or something like that.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:05:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She had done a pirate yard for Halloween a few years ago, so not far off!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:05:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> They are female priate skeletons
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:05:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh yeah, they totally look like they're from PotC
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:06:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Now we just need Geoffrey Rush to pop out and tell us we're in a ghost story.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:07:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> How have you been doing, Katherine?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:08:04 PM EDT] <KK> So, have we heard from Revanne re her husband's elbow mishap?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:08:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> He's in a cast; they can't operate right away.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:08:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Everyone
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:08:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:08:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:08:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I can't remember why. They are going to need to operate to fix his elbow, but they can't do it yet.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:08:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:09:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think he has an open wound on his arm and they're worried about infection
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:09:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What happened to his elbow?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:09:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> There is an open wound and they are worried about infection
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:09:40 PM EDT] <KK> I'm doing fine. Two Saturdays ago, I hired a guy to come and help me clear out the attic at the old house. Got rid of a lot of stuff--te room is now empty!--but a lot of it is now down in the former den, but at least it's on the ground floor, and more easily and comfortably sorted. A lot is already slated to go to Goodwill.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:09:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think he took a fall while they were sight seeing
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:10:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Sounds like a productive time, KK
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:10:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> She said he fell on a step and Stirling Castle had to be closed whole they tended to him
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:11:00 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, and shattered his elbow so badly that they need to wait a month or so with it in a cast, before deciding whether surgery will help.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:11:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> It must be painful.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:11:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Ugh, I hadn't heard that detail... poor thing! 😦
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:11:32 PM EDT] <KK> Apparently there's an open wound.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:11:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Owie.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:12:06 PM EDT] <KK> Don't know if they're home yet or not.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:12:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Considering the importance of functional elbows, it definitely sounds painful. And inconvenient
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:12:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I know she is trying to get some carer help. I hope she finds someone
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:12:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And he already has dementia, plus a colostomy that would have been reversed by now if not for COVID.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:13:04 PM EDT] <KK> Yep. Wouldn't be my choice of injuries. Of course, I'd rather not have any injuries.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:13:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, can "No Injuries" be an option, please?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:13:25 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:13:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm for the no injuries option. And a staff Healer from St. Neot's on call too, please
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:14:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> They did cut their holiday a little short as he wasn't doing so well so they are back home
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:15:15 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> When Lou broke his this year they waited to see how much range of motion he had. He got most of it back and they said he probably would not have done better with surgery so they left it like it is.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:16:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Orthopedists are very conservative that way. They really don't want to operate unless they're fairly sure it's not going to get better any other way, whatever the problem is.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:16:49 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That is not a bad way to be about it.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:16:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Speaking of dementia, I recently learned that a cousin of mine has died after suffering from severe dementia. His brother told us something he said to his wife: "I don't remember who you are, but I remember I love you."
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:16:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And honestly, given the recovery time for most ortho procedures, they're right to go for physical therapy and so forth before heading to the operating room.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:17:26 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I agree with that!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:17:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I must be hard to keep an pen wound clean.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:17:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Bee, that is so sweet
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:17:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Haven't broken a bone since I was six. Once it was immobilized and in a cast, that was it. But it was not a fun trip to the Emergency Room
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:18:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm not sure how I managed it, but I've never broken a bone.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:18:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've never broken a major bone, just fingers and toes. We were worried about a possible stress fracture in my ankle last year, but it turned out to be bruised, not actually fractured.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:18:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Still hurt like the very devil.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:19:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> All of those bone things hurt really badly
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:19:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sorry I am late, Cleaning the back yard before tomarrow's rain
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:19:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, yes they do.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:19:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> DR, I understand sprains of the ankle are a lot more painful than breaks
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:19:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Although, I can testify that sprains hurt worse.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:19:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I fell off my new scooter the very first time I rode it down the drive way. I minded not being able to swim for most of the summer more than I minded the actual cast
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:19:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I managed in a single incident to break a bone in my left foot and sprain my right foot/ankle in the process of trying (and failing) not to fall.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:20:02 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Ouch!!!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:20:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> Ouch Shiral
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:20:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They both hurt, but the sprain hurt worse and took longer to heal fully.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:20:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Shiral, that sounds like a Simpsons episode I've seen.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:20:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Ouch, DR!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:20:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It was not fun.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:20:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> I broke my wrist at the age of 45 while mowing the lawn
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:20:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My only bone fracture was done deliberately and under anesthesia, to insert a metal rod in my hip.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:20:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> How did you do that
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:21:11 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Now that is a real ouch, Bee.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:21:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Laurna, just glad you didn't get anything caught in the lawnmower
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:21:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I didn't swear, though, not at the time; I was past words.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:21:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> puts out a tray of mulled cider and pumpkin bread
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:21:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Yum
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:21:42 PM EDT] * DesertRose adds sourdough waffles and bourbon peach pecan butter.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:21:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Ooooh, nice!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:21:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> I sliped on a slop of slipery grass and shoved the Lawn mower away from me with one and so my feet would not go near it. and landed sidewise on my right wrist
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:21:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oooooh, even better!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:21:55 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, yes, DR
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:22:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> puts hot cider in a cauldron instead, since that's much more practical than having it on a tray
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:22:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yumm DR
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:22:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Ooooh bourban peach pecan butter sounds really tadty
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:22:27 PM EDT] * The_Bee sets out donuts and little candy jack-o-lanterns
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:22:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sarah makes the peach butter, and when she came and stayed with me while she worked a craft show, we had peach butter on the waffles I made.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:23:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> So yum.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:23:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Sounds incrediby good, as all decadent treats do
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:23:21 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Judy brings out some Zucchini bread and soft butter
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:23:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> A jar of it is part of my mom's Christmas present this year, because Mom likes peaches, pecans, and bourbon.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:23:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> This discussion is making me really hungry
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:23:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi everyone
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:23:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:23:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> For next week I intend to make chocolate cup cakes drizzled in white chocolate with a large marshmellow on top to look like ghosts
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:23:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hiya Jerusha
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:00 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I was trying to distract everyone from painful broken bones.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:10 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> you did a good job 🙂
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It worked.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> It definitely worked
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> lobs peanut butter cups into the chatroom
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Laurna, that should be really cute
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Since Halloween is on the way
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:24:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Halloween cupcakes - yum
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My church is doing Halloweenish stuff, plus Samhain stuff.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:10 PM EDT] Join Imladris (Imladris@owirc-37g.6ok.71.216.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> Then I saw where you make devled eggs and cut black olives to look like a spider on top
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Imladris.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Imladris
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I apologize for typos - new keyboard
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hello Imladris
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Imladris
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Imladris
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:36 PM EDT] <Imladris> Waves
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> hello Imladis
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> No spider on my eggs, thanks
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:25:45 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:26:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> hehe
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:26:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Spiders outside the house altogether, for me, thanks
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:26:17 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Me, too. Outside!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:26:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ages and ages ago I saw a thing I've never tried but that would be cool for a Halloween party. You fill a glove (like a medical glove) with juice, freeze it, and put it in the punch bowl, so that as it melts, it changes the flavor a bit.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:27:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And you have a melting hand in your punch bowl. Which would be creepy at any other time than Halloween.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:27:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Spiders look scary but they are really good bugs. They eat the bad ones
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:27:22 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> If you want something good, get a strawberry-mango-peach smoothie.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:27:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> So long as they eat them outside of my house, we have a truce
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:27:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm good with spiders unless they're getting in my space
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:27:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> I shall pass on any medical gloves, No thank you. I will take the olive spiders
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:27:52 PM EDT] <Imladris> don't like olives
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:27:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yumm HM
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:27:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A friend of mine who is VERY into Halloween once made jello in a brain mold for her Halloween Party. I think she ended up with a lot of jello to eat because it looked horrifying even though it tasted basically like jello
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:28:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (You peel the glove off the frozen hand before you put it in the punch bowl.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:28:01 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> For other times of the year you could make juice ice cubes to put in.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:28:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Olives soaked in gin are OK
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:28:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> HEHE Shiral, I would not eat that either
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:28:24 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> My favorite, Laurna
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:28:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> She and her husband go ALL OUT on Halloween.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:28:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've never had any trick-or-treaters for Halloween.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:29:15 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Never??
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:29:31 PM EDT] <Imladris> Been up to me it would have been Posiedens instead of Athens..
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:29:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We've gone from no trick or treaters to a lot to none again
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:29:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am having the sewing group over on Halloween. So I will miss next weeks chat
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:29:39 PM EDT] <Imladris> the salt water spring wasn't that bad...
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:29:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Not since I moved to Boston in 1978.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:30:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I got a pumpkin to carve and I'll get some candy to distsribute, but I don't know how many kids in my neighborhood will stop by. In 2019 though, the little blighters got all the candy I had bought.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:30:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Will it be a Halloween themed sewing class?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:30:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Mmmm, '78... that was the year I moved to Arkansas.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:30:15 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I would have thought you'd have lots in Boston.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:30:36 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Not I.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:30:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes Pirates and pumpkins
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:31:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You need to flesh out the mermaids
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:31:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> not many kids in my neighborhood, though there's a school a few blocks away.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:31:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am waiting for tomarrows heavy rain to pass by. then the captain and his crew go out on the lawn
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:31:55 PM EDT] <Imladris> just moved so not sure how many to expect...
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:32:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> They are standing and sitting in my living room right now taking up all the space
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:32:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Avast me hearties! We sail into the storm!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:32:12 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> A lot of kids got to church parties or other organized events. Our downtown merchants hand out candy that night,
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:32:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I know there are kids in my neighborhood. But with COVID still being something of an issue, I don't know how many will brave Trick Or Treating
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:32:20 PM EDT] <Imladris> got indv. popcorn bags and heath bars.. . see what goes. and eat what's left.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:32:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My place of work turns into a candy emporium as everyone brings in their leftovers
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:33:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> caramel popcorn or just buttered popcorn?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:33:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> I will put out a table on the drive way for the candy so no one has to come to the house
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:34:02 PM EDT] <Imladris> kettle. cheddar and regular
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:34:07 PM EDT] <Imladris> skinny pop
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:34:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The last time I was at my parents' house for Halloween, kids came to the door, but NOT ONE said "Trick or Treat!' They just silently stared. It was weird.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:34:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I liked the ceratvie ways people came up with to shoot candy to trick or treaters from a distance
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:34:31 PM EDT] <Imladris> Bee.. stare back...
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:34:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> too late for that.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:35:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> I had a candy slide for last year but we cancled the decorations.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:35:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I thought that read "shoot trick or treaters"
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:35:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> NO
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:35:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> lol
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:35:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> No guns allowed, not even toys
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:36:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> Not even toys. Agreed
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:36:13 PM EDT] <Imladris> Arrows?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:36:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "If you want candy, you must walk the plank"
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:36:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oh I like that
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:36:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> The waiting shark has candy in his mouth
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:36:46 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:36:46 PM EDT] <KK> I'm back. Sorry about that. Booker started peeing on my chair mat and then trailed it out into the hall--something he hasn't done in months. And he'd been out not that long ago. Go figure. Then, just when I'd about finished mopping up what I could, Cameron rang and had to report on what's been going on for him the past week.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:37:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> wb
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:37:12 PM EDT] <Imladris> one year.. I had paraffin bath on My hand.. and a dragon at the door...so my hand looked fake... and dead
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:37:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Good things for Cameron?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:37:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> anything interesting from Cameron?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:37:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> Poor Booker. Hope Cameron had good things to say
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:37:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> WB, KK
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:37:46 PM EDT] <Imladris> WB KK
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:38:02 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Once Halloween gets past the rest of the year zips by
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:38:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> Very true
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:38:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Rehi KK.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:38:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, only two months left after Halloween.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:38:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> There's not much left of the year after Halloween
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:38:37 PM EDT] <The_Bee> They're telling us to order Christmas presents early this year.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:38:42 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Nope, not much
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:38:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I do hope 2022 will be a better year.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:38:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Shop small and local, this year
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:38:57 PM EDT] <KK> He sold my old Subaru to his neighbor in Oklahoma, and it was stolen out of her driveway a week ago. They recovered it 24 hrs. later, ok shape except for a light scrape along the passenger side, and her insurance company wants to total the car. Plus, they know who stole it, and it's a declining neighborhood thing, and Cameron and Anna are desperate to move
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:39:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Still have two birthdays to celebrate before Christmas
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:39:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> WOW
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:39:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> For me, Christmas season doesn't really begin until after Thanksgiving.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:39:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> That bites. They live in Norman, I think I heard you say once?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:39:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sounds like a good time to move
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:39:50 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Lou calling, brb
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:40:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I refuse to put up Christmas decorations or listen to Christmas music before the day after Thanksgiving.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:40:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That happened to a good friend of mine - they found a very nice colonial house somewhere else
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:40:12 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah. Wow is right. The neighbors on the other side of the gal who bought the car have been dealing drugs out of the house, shifty types coming and going....It's not good.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:40:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> DEFINITELY time to move
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:40:29 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, Norman.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:40:31 PM EDT] <Laurna> They want to buy your big house KK?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:40:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The exception for the music is if I'm in a choral Christmas thing, because if you're putting on a choral Christmas production, you need to start practicing by Labor Day at the latest.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:40:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep, move now, though housing prices do not make that easy
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:41:12 PM EDT] <KK> It was ok when they first moved there, but owner of the next door house doesn't do anything about the fact that they're crack heads and dealers and car thieves.... I could go on and on.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:41:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> Moving time,
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:41:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Do they have jobs in Oklahoma? That would limit their choices of where to move.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:41:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Unless they have jobs where they can work from home.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:42:10 PM EDT] <KK> THey're renting. Can't afford to buy just now. But they need to find something else to rent while they decide where they want to go next. They do not want to have to shoot anyone where they are.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:42:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If they can both work remotely or can get work in your area, maybe they ought to buy the house from you.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:42:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> As in many cities in Oklahoma, there are good sections and not so good sections
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:42:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or rent the big house from you.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:43:23 PM EDT] <KK> They don't want to live in Staunton, even if they could afford to rent or buy the big house. Plus, it's way too big for them.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:43:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, phooey.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:44:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oklahoma is not a bad place to live, if you find the right place and a tornado does not wipe it out
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:44:44 PM EDT] <KK> Not much market here for what they do. Anna is working remotely on a very good contract, but Cameron is easing into being a Private Investigator, these days, and I don't think Staunton is a big enough market for him to do that here.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:44:47 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They do have a lot of tornados,
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:45:15 PM EDT] <KK> There's been a fair amount of defunding police where they are, so that doesn't help.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:45:23 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Has he always wanted to be a PI?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:45:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is a interesting profession
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:45:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> After four years in Oklahoma, the only tornado I saw was in Canada
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:45:57 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> And may you never see one!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:46:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> probably not much like the PIs you see on tv.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:46:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Fortunately, from a distance
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:46:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> Odd local for a Tornado
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:46:18 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I have a FB friend who is a skip tracer.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:46:30 PM EDT] <KK> He got burned out doing computer security, but he's able to use those skills in doing PI work. The law enforcement genes are in him. Scott was a deputy for mmany years.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:46:57 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Those genes will out in some way
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:47:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> And on the side he can write detective novels too.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:47:22 PM EDT] <KK> Seems to like being a PI, and is getting a good reputation already. Only been fully licensed for 3-4 months.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:47:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Those could be very interesting
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:47:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Good for him!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:47:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hope they find a better place to rent soon
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:48:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Detective stories sounds like a good idea
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:48:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> Agreed Shiral
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:48:13 PM EDT] <KK> He's a VERY good writer--got those genes, too--but hasn't decided to hunker down and try that yet. Maybe eventually.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:48:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Now I am channeling Shakespeare and Hathaway
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:48:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> Let us know when he gives it a go
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:48:53 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Something for when he doesn't want to do the PI thing anymore.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:49:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> If he writes detective story, I would by it
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:49:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or maybe the PI thing will give him good plot ideas
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:49:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> If real life were a novel, he could investigate his thieving and drug-dealing neighbors.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:49:25 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That, too.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:49:30 PM EDT] <KK> Maybe. But he's still got a lot of life ahead of him--not yet 50--so it may be a while.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:49:55 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> He can save the neighbors for when he IS writing.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:50:59 PM EDT] <Imladris> back on Christmas music a moment... just got tickets to Mannheim Steamroller. And think the last time sang Alleluia Chorus was with Katherine and her mother!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:51:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh, gotta love a good Mannheim Steamroller Christmas show
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:51:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> LOVE Mannheim Steamroller!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:51:32 PM EDT] <KK> I've been rereading the Adept books for my bedtime reading. I've now finished the first two. Dang, we did good work! I'd half-forgotten some of the details. Am rather enjoying it.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:51:58 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I always like those books!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:02 PM EDT] <Imladris> Do you know how HARD it is to find second Adept book in Hard Cover??
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Nice to be able to read and enjoy completed projects 😃
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Much better to enjoy them than not!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hi y'all
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thinking of more Adept after Killingford?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi CW
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Catherine Windsor
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI CW
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:29 PM EDT] <Imladris> hi Catherine W
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi CatWin
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:32 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, sadly I don't think the con that took over from Darkovercon does the Alleluia chorus anymore.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi Catherine
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:54 PM EDT] <Imladris> That is sad... was really quite fun.. and special.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:52:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That was always fun singing
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:53:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Catherine.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:53:07 PM EDT] <KK> Could be, Bee. I need to make contact with Debbie and see what she's been up to. We've been incommunicado for far too long.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:53:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hope she's weathered the Pandemic well.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:54:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I hope e all have.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:54:02 PM EDT] <KK> So do I. I hope she isn't teaching anymore at St. Andrew's.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:54:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I'm going to have to ship chat for the next six weeks or so. I've got cataracts and can't read the text well. Once I'm past both surgeries I'll be back. And Zoom is cool, I don't have to read. 😁
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:54:25 PM EDT] <KK> Have you all gotten your Covid ashots and boosters and flu shots?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:54:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> One of the latest rumors is that the Covid deaths are a Vatican plot.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:54:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> You did mention the possibility of a sort of Victorian Hunting Lodge based in London project at one time.... That sounded interesting
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:54:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> I back from starting dinner. KK I love that you love rereading The Adept, More Please
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:54:55 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, sorry, Catherine. I had mine done a couple of years ago.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:55:12 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Shots but waiting for the booster.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:55:13 PM EDT] <KK> You'll love your eyes after the cataract surgeries. And you' ll probably recover far quicker than you think.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:55:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I got mine and I'm thinking of a combo booster and flu shot.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:55:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I've had my COvid shots as of Late March, need to get the Flu shot
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:55:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> No more glasses!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:55:45 PM EDT] <Imladris> Think the Hard cover of the second book was only released in UK
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:55:54 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yeah, I need my flu shot, too.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:55:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> If not for Covid, I would have had cataract surgery by now. I was going to get a vitrectomy and people of my age always get cataract surgery right after a vitrectomy.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:56:17 PM EDT] <KK> I use glasses for reading, but not otherwise. The cataract surgery corrected my astigmatism as well as my nearsightedness, so I'm seeing better now than I ever have in my life!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:56:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Vitrectomy?
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:56:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm unclear about whether to get the Booster shot.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:56:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> CVS is asking us to make appointments for vaccines. No more walk-ins.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:56:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> So I've been told, KK. I've worn glasses since I was 4.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:57:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I was always near sighted, but not anymore!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:57:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Everyone I know who has had cataract surgery has been very happy with the results
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:57:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> vitrectomy is where they suck out the insides of the eyeballs and fill them up again with new juice. (good halloween discussion, eh?)
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:57:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I need to figure out if I'm eligible to get the booster.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:57:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> You may still need glasses, but not as strong a prescription.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:57:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Um. eeeww
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:57:39 PM EDT] <KK> Don't get the booster and flu shots in the same arm. For that matter, I'd do them at separate times. I didn't have any side effects other than a sore arm the next day, but lots of folk do get fever and such.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:57:40 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They told me I had to wait 6 months from when I got the last shot.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:57:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> puts out a loaf of fresh baked cinnamon Babka
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:57:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I've been told probably only for reading.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:58:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> Has anyone else still get arm pain where they got their vacinne shot months later. I can not tell if it is from the shot or if I have had a shoulder injury for many months now.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:58:18 PM EDT] <KK> I got my booster at Walmart and flu shot at Walgreen's.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:58:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I got my second shot in March.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:58:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi CW
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:58:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I usually wear my glasses for driving. But at work, it's hard to wear glasses and a mask, as I feel in a complete fog...
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:58:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Shiral, you are... 😉
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:59:04 PM EDT] <Imladris> got second shot in April... after Covid and the infusion in December
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:59:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> No continuing pain for me, Laurna.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:59:20 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> No pain here, either
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:59:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> You lose the ability to read fine print after cataract surgery. I use reading glasses.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:59:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Spiral, I bought metal nose strips for my masks from Amazon. No more fog.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:59:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> My upper arm feels kind of dead for about 7 months now.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:59:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My left arm was a little sore at the injection site for a day or two, but no worse
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [7:59:50 PM EDT] <Imladris> can't just lift up your glasses to read micro writing...
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:00:02 PM EDT] <Imladris> the once superpower with severe myopia
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:00:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Bee, that's what happened to me immediately after my lasix 20 years ago. then my eyes eventually got worse again and I can once again see close up .
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:00:05 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> If you move your arm around a lot right after the shot, it will help the soreness.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:00:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> I can not lift my arm up or back with out pain. So wasn't sure if it has been an injury
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:00:32 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> You might have a rotator cuff injury.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:00:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I have metal things in my work masks, still can't quite make the glasses and the mask work together harmoniously
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:00:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I would have that checked out, Laurna
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:00:51 PM EDT] <KK> At the age when one needs cataract surgery, one probably already uses reading glasses.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:01:19 PM EDT] <KK> And I've always had separate computer glasses, set for the distance from eyes to screen.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:01:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The best difference between lasix and cataracts is that insurance covers cataract surgery.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:01:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sure but who wants to see a doctor. I had hospital knightmares last night. about going back to work. I pass
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:01:27 PM EDT] <Imladris> KK but when you can lift your bifocals and see really close up...
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:01:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri has hopped up on the desk and sends everyone purrs
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:01:57 PM EDT] <KK> Gus was here earlier, but got down when Booker was doing his peeing act.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:01:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I was so near-sighted, I needed distance glasses for close-up.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:01:59 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Dmitri
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:02:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Do what you think is best, Laruna
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:02:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> waves to Dmitri and sends greetings from Shelly, Pie, Frankie, and Mousie
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:02:08 PM EDT] <Imladris> My spouse see a doctor almost every day!
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:02:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Laurna, I meant
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:02:27 PM EDT] * The_Bee scritches Dmitri.
[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:02:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That's a lot of paws, Nezz!

[Sunday, October 24, 2021] [8:02:42 PM EDT] <Imladris> no.. married to Me....
