[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:03:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm alright. went to a friend's house for late Thanksgiving. It was lovely. So was the one I had on Thursday. How was y'all's?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:03:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:03:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Heya KK
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:03:24 PM EST] <KK> Hello, gang.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:03:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:03:53 PM EST] <KK> Mine was excellent, at friends' house.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:04:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh nice
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:04:21 PM EST] <DesertRose> Mine was likewise lovely. Mom cooked, and I got to meet my granddog in person.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:04:40 PM EST] <KK> Ah, a granddog.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:04:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> My neighbor signed me up for a dinner from Boston Senior Services.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:04:59 PM EST] <KK> Was it good?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:05:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup. Her name is Audaline, and she's a German shepherd/Australian cattle dog cross. She's about four months old and I keep teasing the Pod-Child about getting outsmarted by a puppy.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:05:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> pretty good.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:05:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello all
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:05:34 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:05:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:05:37 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:06:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> puts hot cider and christmas cookies on the chatroom table
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:06:18 PM EST] <KK> Sounds like it should he a smart dog.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:06:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> Did the pigmy lions enjoy their thanksgiving?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:06:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Had a very nice Thanksgiving with my family at my house
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:06:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> She is. The other theme of teasing is that Audi's going to be the first successful cat herder.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:07:15 PM EST] <KK> Could be. When Booker was a puppy, he briefly tried his paw at cat herding. Not successful, alas.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:07:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> lol, cat herding is not for the faint-hearted.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:07:40 PM EST] * The_Bee sets out mugs of hot chocolate, with choice of pepp,ermint whipped cream or marshmallow
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:07:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri came downstairs and was remarkably social for quite some time. My nephew went upstairs to meet my cats after dinner, shortly afterwards, Tati bolted downstairs. Then she realized to her horror there were MORE strange people down there! That sent her back upstairs and she hid in my closet until all the scary strangers were gone.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:08:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> From what I know of Australian cattle dogs, they'll herd practically anything, and resistance is futile; you Will Be Herded.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:08:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Poor Booker had to learn the hard way
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:08:23 PM EST] <The_Bee> awww! Poor Tati!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:08:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> Poor Tati! But good Dmitri that he was sociable.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:08:47 PM EST] <KK> Yes, but dogs and cats soon worked out a modus vivendi.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:09:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We had a Shetland sheepdog when I was growing up. He had a very strong herding instinct, but must have lived a very frustrating life, because we all insisted on wandering off.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:09:23 PM EST] <DesertRose> Went ahead and did my Christmas decorating, which consisted of this: https://imgur.com/3tLRezQ
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:09:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Pretty!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:10:10 PM EST] <KK> That's it, eh? Says she who has bn
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:10:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My nephew looked at Dmitri, then told me in an awe-stricken voice "That's the biggest domestic cat I've ever seen!"
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:10:15 PM EST] <The_Bee> I lit my christmas lights right after Thanksgiving.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:10:20 PM EST] <KK> not yet put up her wreath or tiny tree.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:10:38 PM EST] <KK> Says she who has not...
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:11:21 PM EST] <KK> Is Dmitri that big?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:11:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Haven't even finished putting away all the napkins and kitchen towels we used on Thanksgiving! I will decorate for Christmas, but haven't yet even bought a front door wreath.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:11:26 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Everyone! everyone survive Turkey
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:11:46 PM EST] <Laurna> the turkey dinner. rather
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:11:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> I have a Santa standing outside my door all year round.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:11:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> He's about 20 pounds, and I have to use both arms when I pick him up. But then my nephew is not often exposed to cats.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:11:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Laurna, and thank you
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:12:06 PM EST] <KK> A good door guard, Bee.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:12:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Laurna.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:12:24 PM EST] <Laurna> We had turkey at my sisters on Friday,
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:12:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> Granddog pics: https://imgur.com/a/sYkIZxh
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:12:35 PM EST] <Laurna> the left overs I took home are all gone
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:12:37 PM EST] <KK> 20 pounds is a respectable size.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:12:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> PUPPY!!!!!!!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:12:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We did a pretty good job eating up the Turkey on Thanksgiving, but I had a nice day of left overs, and was finished eating them before I got tired of them.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:12:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> So cute!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:13:01 PM EST] <Laurna> Audiline is SOOOO CUTE!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:13:12 PM EST] <The_Bee> He's a cutie!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:13:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> He's tall at his shoulders with a long body, long legs and a long tail
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:13:38 PM EST] <DesertRose> (The middle picture is from Halloween; Pod-Child and the boyfriend dressed up as Sandy and Danny from Grease, and Audaline was a T-Bird because they couldn't come up with a Pink Ladies' jacket in time. The pink fabric in the corner of the picture is the Pod-Child's skirt.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:14:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> I don't decorate inside the house because cat, and none of the Christmas festivities happen at my place anyway; that's all at Mom's house if we don't go to Charleston.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:15:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:15:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I've got to bring four cats to the vet in the morning. I"m so thrilled
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:15:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:15:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:15:53 PM EST] <DesertRose> All four at once? Yikes, Nezz.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:15:56 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:15:57 PM EST] <KK> Routine visits, I trust?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:15:59 PM EST] <Laurna> I have boxes of stuff in the back yard shed, Usully I take several wheelbarrow trips but this year I will use the pickup truck to bring it to the house
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:15:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> Good luck with that, Nezz!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:16:03 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:16:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Cat wrangling, Nez?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:16:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> I have to take Carys on Thursday, just annual check-up time.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:16:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That's a lot of cat carriers in one car!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:16:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Mostly routine, but I think Mousie may have a bad tooth, she's acting strange again when she eats. Like sometime is biting her back.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:16:25 PM EST] <Laurna> Four at once. Yikes
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:16:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> Wish I could offer to loan you Audi, Nezz. She might help with the cat herding.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:16:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Fortunately I'll have the ol' man to help.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:16:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> He was kind enough to take the day off
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:17:16 PM EST] <KK> Wrangling 4 cats at once deserves an assistant.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:17:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> Wrangling four cats at once NEEDS an assistant.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:17:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> That is NOT a one-person job!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:17:48 PM EST] <Laurna> I took Archer in last week for his bi yearly blood test, it was faster than usual so good
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:17:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I used to be able to take 3 to the vet at a time, but 4 is beyond me.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:18:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Bi yearly blood test?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:18:41 PM EST] <KK> Part of the problem is that by the time you get the first one or two in their carriers, the others have figured out what's going on, and go into avoidance mode.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:18:53 PM EST] <Laurna> Yah he is one meds for to reduce his fly catching syndrom
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:19:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> ??
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:19:16 PM EST] <KK> Fly catching syndrome?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:19:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> He's catching flies?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:19:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Heh, yeah. We'll have to shut two in the bathroom and then get the other two into the carriers, then get the two from the bathroom (where they can't hide).
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:19:54 PM EST] <The_Bee> Sign hip up for baseball.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:20:10 PM EST] <Laurna> It is a cavalier thing. their brain sends off flashes in their eyes and they think they have to catch the bugs that they think they see.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:20:31 PM EST] <KK> Also known as floaters in human terms.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:20:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear. I hadn't heard of that one
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:20:33 PM EST] <Laurna> almost like small sziezures. but not
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:20:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> When I moved, On the day of the big move I got up, and put both cats in their carriers before t hey had any time to REALIZE something big was up that day. Dmitri sang the Song of His People all the way over to the new place
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:20:54 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is it common with cavaliers?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:21:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh my goodness, never heard of that. Poor li'l thing.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:21:45 PM EST] <Laurna> Dmitri is Poverratia in disguise.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:22:07 PM EST] <Laurna> Cavaliers and some other small dogs
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:22:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> The medication helps?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:22:56 PM EST] <Laurna> They will just snap at the air for long periods of time. but you can distract them from it. and I found this medication seems to work well for it
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:23:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh good
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:24:06 PM EST] <Laurna> Has Dmitri given you the song of his people since then?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:24:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> He is very talkative, but he only REALLY complains in the car
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:25:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> Melantha has been unusually talkative recently. I need a translator.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:25:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> KK, is your old house up for sale yet?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:26:17 PM EST] <Laurna> I think all anaimals must speak the same world language and only us humans are the ones who can not understand them all.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:26:26 PM EST] <KK> Officially goes on the market January 3.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:26:41 PM EST] <Laurna> Good for you KK
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:26:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hope it sells quickly and well
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:26:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hope someone will see it and fall in love
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:26:49 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:26:51 PM EST] <The_Bee> so all cleared out?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:27:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> I was going to ask that question myself, because a friend is relocating to that area, but he and his family have already made an offer which has been accepted on a house in Harrisonburg.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:27:42 PM EST] <KK> Still working on it, but there's serious progress.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:28:10 PM EST] <KK> What takes them to Harrisonburg? JMU?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:29:01 PM EST] <DesertRose> I don't know, actually. I know he wanted to get out of Florida, but I'm not sure why that part of Virginia specifically.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:29:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> JMU?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:29:18 PM EST] <KK> Half a dozen serious pieces of furniture go on Dec. 11.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:29:24 PM EST] <The_Bee> JM University?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:29:27 PM EST] <DesertRose> He works remotely, and I think his wife does too, but their oldest might be about to go to college, so JMU might be a good guess.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:29:38 PM EST] <DesertRose> (James Madison University, I think)
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:29:38 PM EST] <KK> James Madison University.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:29:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:29:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> ok, thanks
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:30:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Furniture can be surprisingly hard to get rid or
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:30:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> of, I meant
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:30:21 PM EST] <KK> It's a beautiful part of the country. I'm sure they'll enjoy it.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:31:01 PM EST] <DesertRose> I hope so. And it is a beautiful part of the country.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:31:01 PM EST] <Laurna> If the furniture are specific peices for the house, than leave them there and sell them with the house.\
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:31:04 PM EST] <KK> I've sold quite a lot. And what's left when it sells will go off to aauction.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:31:31 PM EST] <KK> I'm hoping to do that with the big mirrors and carpets.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:32:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I hear ya: I have a china cabinet I need to offload, but my mom insists I find a relative to give it to since she bought it 50 years ago.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:32:05 PM EST] <KK> Sell them to the buyer, that is.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:32:07 PM EST] <DesertRose> The people who owned my parents' house before they did left the entertainment center, and now 25+ years later my parents are just now considering getting rid of it.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:32:28 PM EST] <Laurna> Exactly, The buyers of my sisters house wanted the mirrors and several antigue peices and the big french painting was considered part of the house.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:32:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> Have they used it at all?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:32:50 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi all, Sorry to be late, Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:32:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi DFK
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:32:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi DFK
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:32:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh yes, it's been in use since they moved in.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:33:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi DFK
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:33:17 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello DFK
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:33:17 PM EST] <KK> No problem, DFK. We're just nattering away, as usual/
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:33:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DFK
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:33:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> "nattering" is such a great word. 🙂
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:33:52 PM EST] <DesertRose> But now that watching TV doesn't really need a zillion bits (VCR, DVD player, etc), they want something smaller and less likely to dominate the whole freaking room, LOL.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:33:54 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yes it is
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:33:57 PM EST] <KK> Indeed.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:34:28 PM EST] <Laurna> The temperary house my sister is living in now has a huge entertainment cabnet that was too big to move. they don't want it when they move agian, So I told them I want it.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:34:41 PM EST] <DesertRose> It is a great word, right up there with putter and pernoint (the latter might be a regionalism or even a my-family-specific-ism).
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:35:00 PM EST] <KK> Pernoint?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:35:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I don't know "pernoint," what's it mean?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:35:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You have room for it, Laurna?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:35:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> Pernoint, also pernointer: To goof around or to be very busy while accomplishing little to nothing.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:35:28 PM EST] <Laurna> lol NO. but I will make room
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:35:57 PM EST] <Laurna> DR I am very good a that
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:36:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Me, too
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:36:18 PM EST] <KK> Haven't heard the word, but I certainly know the activity. I did a lot of that this weekend.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:36:34 PM EST] <Laurna> Best kind of holiday weekend
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:36:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It's a coping skill
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:36:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> Who ISN'T good at pernointing?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:37:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Had a new Anne )erry book that I couldn't put down
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:37:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> It might well be a family word, but it is a useful family word, and most people infer the meaning from context, if one uses it in an actual sentence.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:37:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> I'm good at NOT being busy while accomplishing nothing.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:37:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Pernointing is a great antidote to the pre-Thanksgiving labor fest
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:38:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> "Just pernointering around the house, come on over if y'all want!"
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:38:39 PM EST] <Laurna> I will happily join you in your pernointering
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:39:27 PM EST] <Laurna> All this pernointering makes me want some hot tea
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:39:32 PM EST] <DesertRose> Can also mean something akin to wander or meander, e.g. pernointing around a new city/town to get acquainted with the roadways (so, accomplishing SOMETHING but no real destination in mind).
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:39:32 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Interesting word. Womder who came up with it
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:40:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Someone with no real dictionary in mind
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:40:13 PM EST] <DesertRose> I don't know. I heard it as a kid, and apparently both my mother's and my bio-father's families used it.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:40:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> ROFL, Jerusha!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:41:38 PM EST] <The_Bee> I just searched for it. some similar terms but no "pernoint"
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:42:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> What's the pernoint of it all?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:43:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> snork
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:43:28 PM EST] <KK> Ain't English a great language?
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:43:54 PM EST] <Laurna> A DR family colloquialism
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:43:58 PM EST] <DesertRose> I guess so.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:44:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes. It borrowed from so many different sources!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:44:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We park in the driveway, but drive on the parkway
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:44:34 PM EST] <The_Bee> when I was a child we had a saying, "If you say 'ain't' / You'll fall in a can of red paint."
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:44:46 PM EST] <Laurna> lol SHiral
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:44:48 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> English borrows so much from many languages thta it is no wonder it is so hard to keasr
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:45:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I like the saying about English knocking out the other languages as they were walking about and rifled through their ppockets for spare words.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:45:23 PM EST] <DesertRose> English is about as legitimate as the offspring of a Norman knight and a Saxon tavern maid.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:45:36 PM EST] <KK> Yes! I was trying to remember that quote!
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:45:36 PM EST] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:45:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But it
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:46:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> is so brash, it just keeps pretending to be top of the heap
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:47:09 PM EST] <KK> Ack, I think friends have arrived, who had said they might drop by on their way back south after a weekend in Massanutten.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:47:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Well, tell 'em hi for us. 🙂
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:47:33 PM EST] <Laurna> I dont recall if it was DR or Evie when editing my poor grammar, who told me about the pick pocketing other languages for spare parts.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:47:33 PM EST] <KK> Chat at 7 next week unless you hear that I've been able to beat my camera into submission by then.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:47:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> Okay, awesome, KK! Thanks for coming to see us, and have a good week!

[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:47:59 PM EST] <Laurna> Perhaps kinds soothing words will help
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:48:00 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:48:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The Mezzo Soprano Marilyn Horne talks about the time she met Igor Stravinsky in the 1950's. He asked her about a sign on a piano in a bar that bewildered him. The sign said "No cotton-picking drinks on this instrument!"
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:48:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I am all for beating your camera into submission
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:48:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> It's a Bill Bryson quote, I believe, about rifling through pockets for spare vocab.
[Sunday, November 28, 2021] [7:48:12 PM EST] <Laurna> Good Night KK
