[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:02:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi KK and Evie and all

[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:02:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> Happy New Year, everyone!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:03:01 PM EST] <KK> How is your new year, so far?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:03:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yeah, the weather is supposed to drop rapidly from 60s to 30s tonight, so I decided to stay off the road tonight. So I'm home instead of at the folks' house, though I spent New Years Eve with them to make up for it
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:04:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> nothing special.  my apartment is an even worse mess than usual.  My house-cleaner will probably go into shock when she ses it.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:04:27 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello KK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:04:37 PM EST] <bynw> i would love it to be 30
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:04:42 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Evie
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:04:43 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:04:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Evie, hi KK, hi Bee
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:05:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Evie, Bee, KK, Nezz.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:05:09 PM EST] <The_Bee> How did you spend New Year's Eve, KK and all of you?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:05:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> 30 sure beats 10
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:05:24 PM EST] <bynw> i would love it to be 10
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:05:27 PM EST] <KK> We're supposed to get our first snow overnight.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:05:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> My house is a disaster zone. I meant to work on it while on vacation, but other things ended up taking precedence, including being a grocery shopper for DD and fiance who are stuck at home with Covid.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:05:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh man bynw, that sucks!!! 😦
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:05:59 PM EST] <KK> I was home peaceful, and went to bed to read before the ball dropped.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:06:11 PM EST] <Laurna> Bynw are you talking in years old instead of degrees F
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:06:13 PM EST] <DesertRose> I hung out at home with Carys, spent a little time with my sewing machine, and comforted Carys, who looked like she'd like to give all the fools shooting off fireworks a good telling of what for.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:06:18 PM EST] <bynw> it's 6 but feels like -1
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:06:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> We're getting that cold front too, KK. Supposed to begin here around bedtime, I think
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:06:40 PM EST] <Laurna> Oh Dear Evie
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:06:56 PM EST] <KK> Bynw, I saw on the Weather Channel that you were getting seriously cold weather.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:07:02 PM EST] <Laurna> Bynw BURRRR
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:07:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> I watched an alternative to Times Square--Country-style New Year's Eve.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:07:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> How cold is it there, Bynw?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:07:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> Iffy weather here.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:07:34 PM EST] <bynw> it's 6 but feels like -1 right now
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:07:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> The weather here is going from 85 to 55 like it saw a state trooper.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:07:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> 41F and cloudy
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> heh
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Geez. You sure you're not in Ontario? 😂
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:10 PM EST] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:24 PM EST] <Laurna> Good reason to stay home
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL, DR
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:30 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi everyone and happy new year
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> hi DFK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:47 PM EST] <Laurna> Hi DFK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> And I have to go out tomorrow because I have a doctor's appointment. Good excuse to wear my lovely fuzzy flannel shirt.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi DFK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:51 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi DFK.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:08:57 PM EST] <bynw> there are aways many times during the winter that iowa is colder than alaska or even the antarctic
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:09:02 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> It's 66 here right now but we are fropping 30 degrees later tonight
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:09:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> BRB, going to make sure the heat is on, since we had to turn it off last night because it was in the upper 70s
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:09:18 PM EST] <Laurna> BURR and Double BURR
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:09:39 PM EST] <Laurna> it is 65 and I am cold
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:10:24 PM EST] <bynw> 65 is shorts weather
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:10:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Oooh, a fuzzy warm flannel shirt sounds just the thing for tomorrow when winter returns here
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:10:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> I received an at-home rapid covid test, not sure from whom.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:11:23 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Did you request one or did it just show up?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:11:39 PM EST] <Laurna> Bee it is a good thing to have in the house just in case. but Hope you don't need to use it
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:11:41 PM EST] <KK> Oh, for those interested, PBS is showing the Downton Abbey movie at 9pm here. I saw it in a theatre, and it was very good. There's supposed to be another one out in the spring.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:11:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> It was left outside my door--maybe from landlord.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:12:09 PM EST] <Laurna> loved to movie, saw it a few times in the theater
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:12:11 PM EST] <KK> I'd heard that they were going to just start showing up, Bee.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:12:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I just bought a weighted blanket so I can see what the hype is all about.. And because it looked warm for a night like tonight
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:12:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> hmmmm, Downton Abbey... the ol' man and I just finished watching the Julien Fellowes Dr Thorne series
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:12:44 PM EST] <KK> Dr. Thorne?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:12:46 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> PBS here showed it last night after the new year's celebration in Vienna. I had seen it but really enjoyed seeing it again
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:12:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> If it says you're positive, you're ositive.  If it says negative, maybe negative
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:12:55 PM EST] <Laurna> I had bought a test kit for christmas because I was going to the dentist. but I did not need to use it.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:13:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I watched the series but haven't seen the movie
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:13:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> Like a home pregnancy test, Bee. ;P
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:13:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Happy New Year, Everyone
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:13:36 PM EST] <KK> I always watch the Vienna celebration. The conductor was a little strange. Didn't do a whole lot, relying on his orchestra to intuit what he wanted.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:13:40 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Shural
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:13:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Yeah Dr Thorne is on Amazon Prime. It was produced by Julien Fellowes (the Downton Abbey guy) so we thought we'd give it a try
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:13:53 PM EST] <KK> Now's your chance, Eie.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:13:57 PM EST] <Laurna> hi shiral
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I thought so too, KK. But I did like the segment with the Lipizzans
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:07 PM EST] <KK> Who is Dr. Thorne?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> When my aunt fell pregnant with her third and last child, her OB told her that the 99% accuracy on pregnancy tests means, "if it changes color, you're pregnant. if it doesn't, you might still be pregnant."
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:16 PM EST] <The_Bee> At 78, I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:23 PM EST] <KK> Aren't they magnificent creatures?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> They are, yes!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:30 PM EST] <bynw> since i've got nothing to do for 10 days. i watched the Mandalorian (which i never had time to watch it) and the first episode of the Book of Boba Fett
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:43 PM EST] <bynw> and now i'm rewatching Game of Thrones
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Bynw. Hope you're feeling better
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:14:47 PM EST] <Laurna> :You sure BEE
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:15:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm 58 and I'm quite sure I'm not in the family way
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:15:08 PM EST] <Laurna> I liked Mandalorian
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:15:12 PM EST] <bynw> hi Shiral. Yes I am feeling better
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:15:25 PM EST] <KK> I haven't seen any episodes. Just been too busy.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:15:28 PM EST] <DesertRose> Almost 46 and definitely not pregnant.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:15:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> https://www.amazon.com/Episode-One/dp/B089Y4Q2XG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3CWRSAVVTL3C5&keywords=Dr+Thorne&qid=1641168918&s=instant-video&sprefix=dr+thorne%2Cinstant-video%2C113&sr=1-1
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:16:00 PM EST] <Laurna> I will have to watch that Nezz
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:16:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I've been watching the new version of All Creatures Great and Small on PBS
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:16:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, how is that?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:16:12 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Sounds interesting
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:16:13 PM EST] <DesertRose> I love those books so much.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:16:38 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've recorde All Creatures, notyetwatched it.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:16:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I've just seen one episode, but I liked it a lot. Actually I've seen two--last week and the Christmas Special of Season 1
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:16:50 PM EST] <bynw> As of late I haven't been home on Sunday evenings to partake in our chats. Usually I have been across town at my girlfriend's house or possibly driving home when chat starts.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:16:50 PM EST] <KK> Oh, it's on Prime. I can watch that. And I agree about All Creatures. A worthy successor to the original series.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:16:58 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> The new episodes of ACGS start next week. Have enjoyed seeing the first season again.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:17:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> My signature on the forum is a quote from one of the Herriot books.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:17:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I loved the books too. Funny, touching and he clearly has such love and respect for animals
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:17:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm mad at myself for only JUST realizing there was a new version!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:18:12 PM EST] <Laurna> I have not seen the new version. I will have to look for it
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:18:14 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I have all of his books and have to reread them periodically
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:18:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I wish I could watch PBS. I got a better TV antenna for Christmas that picks up a lot more local stations, but to turn it in the right direction for PBS and one other station, I'd lose others I need more, like the one with the best meteorologist around, which I'm not about to give up as long as I'm in Tornado Alley.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:18:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But my Brother and sister turned me on to the new series
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:18:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> And he's almost always joking at his own expense. The good-heartedness of those stories restores my faith in humanity.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:19:00 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> PBS has been advertising it a lot. It is part of Masterpiece Theater
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:19:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> I didn't realize this was a new version.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:19:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I know. And I like the two Farnon Brothers and Mrs. Hall. Also like the actress who plays Helen
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:19:24 PM EST] <Laurna> Evie you are braver than I living in Tornado Alley
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:19:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I agree, DR. but I'm sure glad I don't live in Yorkshire in the winter!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:19:57 PM EST] <DesertRose> Every place has its natural disasters. It's all in what you're used to dealing with.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:20:02 PM EST] <Laurna> I hope you are more protected in the hilly area
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:20:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> True
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:20:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, me too! I cannot do cold or snow, and ice belongs in my drinking glass, not the ground.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:20:34 PM EST] <Laurna> I agree DR
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:20:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I just recently bought the Kindle version of ACG&S for a reread if I find the time, but at the moment I'm going through a Brandon Sanderson fantasy about a chapter a week
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:20:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I moved from Tornado Alley into Earthquake zone. I was born in the shadow of a dormant volcano. Pick your poison.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:20:59 PM EST] <bynw> our 2nd derecho spawned 43 tornados just a few weeks ago
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:21:00 PM EST] <The_Bee> When I lived in Michigan, I read an article on how to turn your old-fashioned TV into a tornado alert system.  I don't hink it would work with a modern tv.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:21:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's been cold enough here for the last few weeks. At least if you're one of us Hot House Orchids living in the SF Bay Area. =o)
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:21:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> Pretty much, Nezz.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:21:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Laurna, I'm not brave enough to live where there are frequent earthquakes or wildfires 😄
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:22:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Your part of California is safer from those? That's good
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:22:26 PM EST] <The_Bee> That reminds me, Shiral--have you been snowe or flooded lately?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:22:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The wildfires are more omnipresent, these days. Although thankfully, we're finally getting a wetter winter. Every drop we get is a Christmas gift for this state
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:22:35 PM EST] <Laurna> lol we had a little 3.5 shaker three days ago. I had to look it up on the internet just to be sure it was an earthquack and not a big truck going by
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:22:53 PM EST] <bynw> all i'm waiting for now is the New Madrid faultline to crackwide open. just a ticking time bomb in the midwest
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:22:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> At least you can buy a good storm shelter. My folks installed one in their jacuzzi area they weren't using.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:23:07 PM EST] <Laurna> Who would have every imagined Colorado with wildfires and snow right after. that is insane
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:23:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> LOTS of snow in the Sierras, Bee, which is good. But no snow where I am. Fortunately no floods in my immediate vicinity, either.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:23:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> We had a few mild shakes in my younger days.  I felt my bed shake.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:24:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The highest hill tops around the Bay Area got dusted. Looks like someone shook powdered sugar on them.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:24:23 PM EST] <Laurna> Cool Shiral
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:24:27 PM EST] <The_Bee> Will snow-melt help refill the reservoirs?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:24:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> We got a goodly chunk of snow this past week.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:24:45 PM EST] <Laurna> They say we need more than one year of it.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:25:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The last few years have been so dry, it will need a lot more rain to help replenish things.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:25:16 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> From what I've heard it might take sseveral years
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:25:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But keep sending Rain thoughts, everyone.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:25:38 PM EST] <Laurna> Yep
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:25:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> rain thoughts rain thoughts
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:25:47 PM EST] <bynw> if only we should ship the flooding we get every year out west
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:25:49 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Will do my rrain dance for you
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:00 PM EST] <Laurna> Although I preferr not feeding the hourse walking thought the mud
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:06 PM EST] <Laurna> horses
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Since I haven't yet mastered Weather Working! (Ariella's never around when you need her....)
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:18 PM EST] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:27 PM EST] <Laurna> Do we really want her around?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> puts out a tray of hot tea and gingersnaps
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:43 PM EST] <Laurna> love gingersnaps
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well... probably more trouble than she's worth.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:45 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yum
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:45 PM EST] <bynw> for weather magic ... sure
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:26:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yum!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:27:38 PM EST] * The_Bee smiles thanks at Shiral and pours a cup of Darjeeling.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:27:53 PM EST] <Laurna> Any one had to write 2022 on anything yet and got it right without corrcting the last number?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:28:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> No, but I go back to work tomorrow, so we'll see if I remember
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:28:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:28:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> workers I've read are too fond of playing with lightning.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:28:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:28:48 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:28:54 PM EST] <KK> I've seen it referred to as 2020 too, which is not encouraging.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:28:58 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:29:01 PM EST] <Laurna> NO KK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:29:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:29:10 PM EST] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:29:18 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Jerusha.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:29:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:29:26 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha!  Has Canada melted yet?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:29:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We have a good crowd tonight
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:29:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I am very conscious of it for the first few days of a new year. It's the second week that gets me into trouble!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:29:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not likely, Bee! It's going down to -24C tonight
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:30:02 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> KK any chances of getting your camera fixed?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:30:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> My future son-in-law tested positive for Covid on New Years Day. I told him I hope the rest of his year improves, but if not I'll send flowers
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:30:14 PM EST] <Laurna> BURR
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:30:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Jerusha, AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:30:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> At that point, I'd take to my bed and hibernate!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:30:36 PM EST] <Laurna> Dear Me EVIE
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:30:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear, Evie
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:30:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh dear! Wishing him a speedy recovry
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:30:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Recovery, too
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:31:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yeuch
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:31:14 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Is he symptomatic?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:31:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hopefully he's got Omicron which has been only mild symptoms.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:31:49 PM EST] <KK> Hopefully will get camera sorted by the first Sunday in February. I'm switching desks again, so haven't bothered to try sorting it yet. I'm fairly sure it's just a matter or sorting out which cords plug where.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:31:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> My sister who lives in Canada needed a negative covid test to come to Vermont for Christmas, and another to get back home.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:32:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I thought you were able to get zoom on your ipad. No?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:32:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Mom and I dared to go see the new West Side Story on Friday. Luckily, the theater was mostly empty and we were seated a long way away from other people. But we felt rather naughty at our first and last movie of 2021
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:32:38 PM EST] <KK> I take it that you had a suitable family reunion.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:32:43 PM EST] <Laurna> Between the pandemic and the weather I am not traveling
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:32:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yes. I'm sure he caught it from my daughter. She and another housemate tested positive earlier, and another friend also tested positive the same day he did.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:32:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> Very good!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:32:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Me neither, Laurna
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:33:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yikes, Evie
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:33:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We are staying close to home, but did get the booster
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:33:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> @Nezz I'm pretty sure it's Omicron based on short incubation time and all of them having fairly mild symptoms
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:34:00 PM EST] <The_Bee> Both my sisters picked me and Melantha up.  She nearly escaped from her travel bag.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:34:00 PM EST] <Laurna> That is the hazard of you DD's job. but I hope she got over it fast and that everyone else does too
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:34:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I got my Booster as of last Monday. I made the appointment in Early December and that was the first date I could get
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:34:03 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Could we still do oom. We could still hear KK and she could see and hear us. The time is nicer for those across the pond
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:34:39 PM EST] <The_Bee> Zoom on Oom
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:34:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Ooom sounds kind of like Meditation on camera. 😉
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:34:53 PM EST] <KK> We'll consider closer to time. I do plan to swap out the desk in the next week or two.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:35:07 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Sounds like a meditation
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:35:15 PM EST] <Laurna> Twelth night is coming up. Who should we Knight this year?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:35:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Alas, not Darcy
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:35:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> They both still have it, but DD is starting to feel better, and future SIL is just starting to feel really cruddy.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:35:47 PM EST] <Laurna> Why every not Jerusha?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:35:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> May all go well with your communications devices, KK.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:36:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Yeah, he's got that lovely portrait up now... 😉
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:36:13 PM EST] <DesertRose> I got boosted a month or so ago.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:36:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I know about Zoom, but Oom?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:36:21 PM EST] <Laurna> Nezz I love your art work.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:36:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> He's not ready yet. Neither is Gwynedd 😀
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:36:35 PM EST] <Laurna> Has KK see ALaric portarte yet?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:37:15 PM EST] <The_Bee> Nezz, can you link us?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:37:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Alaric in Tart form?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:37:29 PM EST] <DesertRose> https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;pic=351
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:37:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Evie, I have meant to ask. If my brain ever recovers from GotP enough to write again, may I continue to use Aliset for the Mearan Mysteries?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:38:07 PM EST] <Laurna> And Richenda https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/gallery/33017_15_09_21
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:38:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Nice!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:38:46 PM EST] <The_Bee> very good!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:38:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yes, @Jerusha2 , that's fine
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:39:01 PM EST] <Laurna> Evie you will like this one https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/gallery/33017_21_09_21_3_08_24.jpeg
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:39:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> The Mearan Mysteries... that's great
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:39:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Helllloooo !
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:39:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Thank you! That does depend if I can write a decent mystery
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:39:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Will it be a Deryni Cozy mystery?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:01 PM EST] <KK> Nice art.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Probably not so cozy a mystery. Must have some drame
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> drama, that is
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:07 PM EST] <The_Bee> Laurna, I got 404 not found for Richenda.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Handy he's wearing the purple stole. I need to confess my undying love for a bishop. 😂
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Evie, lol! 🙂
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:20 PM EST] <bynw> looks like Evie likes that one. please watch the drool in the chatroom Evie
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;pic=352
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> Does that link work for Richenda?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:46 PM EST] <Laurna> Humm Dr. my links don't seem to work
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:40:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I'll watch it puddle, Bynw
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:41:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ewww
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:41:08 PM EST] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:41:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> It works for me if i click the top link
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:41:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> The Richenda link doesn't work for me.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:41:22 PM EST] <bynw> LOL i'm sure you will
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:41:27 PM EST] <bynw> such bad girls in here
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:41:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Someone bring a mop
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:41:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> bynw, not "bad"... we just appreciate beauty when we see it. 🙂
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:42:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Ok, now I see Richenda 😊
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:42:33 PM EST] <Laurna> I think Nezz has a very good eye for our favorite characters
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:42:37 PM EST] <The_Bee> Yes, it works, but her hair is darker than I imagined.  I thought it would be redder.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:43:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Richenda was the second one I did; I was still experimenting with the tools.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:43:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I bought a desk for Lego Duncan today. It was a Hermione study desk from a Hogwarts Lego pack.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> It has a little herbalist book that opens up and a tiny inkwell.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:05 PM EST] <The_Bee> I think of Jehana as auburn-haired, and Richenda as strawberry blonde.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:25 PM EST] Join HoundMistress (HoundMistr@owirc-j2i.oti.27.24.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh Evie! I was trying to see what Aliset-Doll was wearing in that picture, and I can't make it out. What is that around her neck?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:32 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi HoundMistress!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi HoundMistress
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Houndmistress!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi HoundmIstress, are you doing ok?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:40 PM EST] <Laurna> She even did Derry https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/gallery/33017_19_09_21_3_33_28.png
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:43 PM EST] <bynw> hi HoundMistress
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:43 PM EST] <HoundMistress> How's everyone?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> HiHoundmistress!  Happy New Year!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:44:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Happy New Year
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:45:04 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Houndmistress, I so hope you are feeling better
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:45:05 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Yes, friends just brought over homemade tortilla soup for dinner! YUM!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:45:21 PM EST] <Laurna> nice
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:45:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm glad you have help nearby!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:45:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I had a friend with very light strawberry blonde hair that looked like spun gold or the pale part of a candle flame. That's how I picture Richenda's hair.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:45:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Bee, if I ever did Jehena, I would make her darker-haired.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:45:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, I picture here as a strawberry blonde, also
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:45:49 PM EST] <DesertRose> Revanne has said that Loreena McKennitt's hair makes her think of Richenda.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:46:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Derry looks like he's up to something. That fits. 😂
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:46:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I haven't figured out how to color strawberry hair without making it look just blond or worse, orange.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:46:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Typical Derry
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:46:24 PM EST] <The_Bee> I was born strawberry blond, but it faded.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:46:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> [removed ridiculous overly-long link]
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:46:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Look who Derry hangs around with! Of course he's up to something
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:46:48 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I was strawberry blonde, too, as a kid
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:46:55 PM EST] <bynw> that link was too long for IRC there DR
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:47:07 PM EST] <bynw> split across 2 lines
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:47:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> Try this: https://www.austinchronicle.com/binary/820e/Loreena.jpg
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:47:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Evie, that's what I was up to. You should see Dhugal if you want to see mischevious
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:47:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That's the right color
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:47:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I reread Anamchara recently. It's been so many years since I wrote it, it felt like I was reading someone else's story
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:47:43 PM EST] <Laurna> I think that is too light for Richenda. A touch more red than that
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:47:57 PM EST] <Laurna> That is fun Evie
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:47:57 PM EST] <HoundMistress> She's more blande than I was
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:48:04 PM EST] <HoundMistress> blonde
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:48:08 PM EST] <DesertRose> That's a relatively recent photo, I think. When she was younger, it was redder.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:48:21 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Yes, more red for Richenda, I would think
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:48:23 PM EST] <Laurna> Bronwynevaine came on the forum and said she was reading a lot of your stories again.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:48:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm pretty sure Alaric doesn't find his wife blande.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:48:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I would not object to seeing Dhugal. 😂
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:48:31 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> hi hm good to see you
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:48:49 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, DFK, good to be here
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:48:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5622fb11e4b0bca6fa5c1525/1509459733356-HGXMDK063ADV5JOZYAA9/Screen+Shot+2017-10-31+at+10.21.27+AM.png?format=1000w
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:48:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> I think of Jehanna as a darker shade of red than Richenda.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:49:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;pic=356
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:49:17 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yeah, Jehana is red heading towards brown. Richenda is blonde heading towards red.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:49:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But then, Dhugal knows there's always penance waiting for him. It's hard to get away with anything when your father is a bishop!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:49:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Jehanna should be auburn, I think
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:49:34 PM EST] <Laurna> That is a better light red DR
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:49:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yes, I see Jehana as more auburn haired
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:49:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> OK, I don't know how to make the pictures appear here in chat.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:49:53 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Great Dhugal
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:50:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I think it's the same person under different lighting, @Laurna
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:50:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> The first pic of Loreena McKennitt would be Richenda's hair color in her fifties or sixties.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:50:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> It's the same person at different ages.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:50:48 PM EST] <Laurna> I know but the the first picture was too light colored at least in that light.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:50:53 PM EST] <The_Bee> i wonderwhat color hair Kelson and Araxie's children will have --sable or strawberry blond?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:51:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I think black is the dominant Haldane gene
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:51:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Could also be brown, since they'd have genes from family on both sides
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:51:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, I would think so, Shira'
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:51:41 PM EST] <Laurna> Araxie's papa was sable to I think that will have domineance for at least 3/4 of their chirldren
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:51:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> More likely to be dark, though
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:51:48 PM EST] <bynw> the dark hair will be dominate genetically so unless he has any receive traits of light hair ... it will be dark for his kids
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:51:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Araxie seems to have taken after her mother in terms of coloring
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:52:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Alaric always called her his beautiful red haired with so i think definitely redder
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:52:32 PM EST] <DesertRose> The process of graying hair tends to make blonde and red hair just look like it's getting lighter, because the contrast between the silver hair and the blonde/red isn't as pronounced as on us brunettes.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:52:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But Richelle is a classic Haldane
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:52:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> Also genetics is super, super weird.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:52:53 PM EST] <The_Bee> Yes, bu.t Araxie is light blond, and akelson didn't inherit Jehanna'svred hair, but he must have inherited her recessive gene for red-haired children
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:52:57 PM EST] <Laurna> I think of Richenda as a true soft light red haird highland girl
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:53:28 PM EST] <bynw> but without light hair genes on both sides it will never be light because the dark is dominate
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:53:45 PM EST] <DesertRose> I don't know.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:54:00 PM EST] <Laurna> 1/4 of their kids has a chance at light hair
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:54:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> It depends on which gene Kelson passes to his kids.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:54:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Would be interesting if one of Kelson and Araxie's children shows up with their Paternal grandmother's green eyes
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:54:21 PM EST] <DesertRose> I have an uncle who is Iranian; my aunt, his wife, is as blonde as it gets. Their younger two kids are dark brunettes. Their oldest looks like his dad in the facial features but is almost white-blonde, even now at nearly 40.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:54:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> @KK , how light is Richenda's hair?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:54:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> A true strawberry, or more of a red with gold?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:54:31 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Daddy had very dark brown/black hair and Mom was redheadded with a vengence and all of us had light or red hair.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:54:42 PM EST] <bynw> not if it only comes from one parent
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:54:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> Unless my uncle's family has a few blondes/redheads back along the line.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:55:17 PM EST] <bynw> blonde hair is possible in Iranian bloodlines going way way back Persian Empire
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:55:30 PM EST] <KK> Richenda is darker strawberry blonde.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:55:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> It could also be in between. I have a black haired Asian mom and a dad who had light brown hair with some red in his beard. My hair is dark brown with chestnut highlights
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:56:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> k, I'll see if I can lighten up Richenda's hair a bit.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:56:13 PM EST] <DesertRose> If Oldest Son hadn't looked so much like his dad, there would have been even more joking about him being the mailman's son, but in the facial features, he looks just like his father.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:56:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> Black tends to dominate, red and blond may blend.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:56:24 PM EST] <Laurna> You never know what is hiding from a few generations back
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:56:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My Dad had dark curly hair. My Sister and I both got my mom's light brown fine limp hair
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:56:58 PM EST] <bynw> not unless you have details of your family history going back that far
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:57:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My brothers got the curl but not the color of my dad's hair. BUT they both went gray at 40
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:57:12 PM EST] <Laurna> I don't know about people but black hair in horses is receicieve. both parents have to carry it.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:57:37 PM EST] <bynw> lol different species
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:57:48 PM EST] <Laurna> lol Ture
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:57:51 PM EST] <The_Bee> You know more about that than I do, Laurna.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:57:51 PM EST] <Laurna> true
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:58:01 PM EST] <HoundMistress> My brother got Mom's hair only more auburn and he go daddy's wavy hair.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:58:07 PM EST] <bynw> interesting to note though about horses
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:58:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> In humans black hair is dominant, which is probably why my brown hair is much darker than my dad's
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:58:46 PM EST] * bynw learned something interesting today

[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:59:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi TD
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:59:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi TheDeryni
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:59:28 PM EST] <bynw> hi TD
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:59:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> hi td
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:59:29 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, TD
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:59:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> With kelson and Araxie, the possibilities for their kid' have is quite varied.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:59:38 PM EST] <Laurna> In horses you have to have three separete genes all receisive to get true black color. otherwise it is brown or red
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:59:46 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Howdy all!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:59:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi TD!  What did you learn, bynw?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [7:59:53 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello The deryni
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:00:06 PM EST] <bynw> the thing about horses and hair color
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:00:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I dye it now, but have to go with a shade called Brownish-Black or Darkest Brown if I want to get it to my original color. (Though I normally go a shade lighter since otherwise it would look too dark now that I'm in my late 50s.)
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:00:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hello, Deer!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:00:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> In my case it is academic - it is now just grey
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:00:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I get my hair colored with about 50% coverage. That way it's not as shocking when the hair color grows out and fades
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:01:00 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Omg! My Deer is here!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:01:14 PM EST] <Laurna> I color golden blond otherwise the grey is catching up with me
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:01:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> 🦌
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:01:23 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Lol
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:01:28 PM EST] <The_Bee> My hair color is all natural, such as it is.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:02:02 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Oh, cherry pie!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:02:15 PM EST] <Laurna> TD did you get a home to move into yet
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:02:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I have a sleeping cat in my lap
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:02:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> When I ws younger, I tried vinegar rinse to bring out the red.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:02:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Bee, did it work?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:02:51 PM EST] <Laurna> Did that sting?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:03:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie>
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:03:11 PM EST] <The_Bee> nothing special.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:03:20 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Mom rinsed mine with lemon juice
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:03:20 PM EST] <TheDeryni> No, I have not Laurna. Bummer.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:03:31 PM EST] <Laurna> Bummer TD
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:03:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> lemon juice for blond highlights, vinegar for red.  or henna.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:03:53 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Waiting and waiting and waiting....
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:04:04 PM EST] <Laurna> That is a lot of waiting
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:04:24 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Yep
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:04:43 PM EST] <Laurna> Glad you are here today
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:05:06 PM EST] <TheDeryni> 😂
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:05:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> This cat needs to move before my bladder pops, but she's too spoiled and I don't want to wake her. 😂
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:05:35 PM EST] <Laurna> Is that GIGI
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:05:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yeah
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:05:43 PM EST] <bynw> they arent spoiled. just loved a lot
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:05:59 PM EST] * The_Bee tells Gigi, "WAKE UP!"
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:06:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Aka Chubbybubble, though she's not as much of a chunk as she was when she earned that nickname
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:06:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I know, I'm a favorite heated padded food dispenser, these days!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:06:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> I used to henna my hair, until two things happened.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:06:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Shiral, I can relate
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:06:57 PM EST] <HoundMistress> What happened
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I think that's how they see us, Nezz!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> One: the silver streak above my right eyebrow finally made its way to the front of my hairline where it actually shows.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Two things?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> Two: I got tired of the mess and hassle.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I have Shelly laying in the kitty hammock even now
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> KK, did you investigate the Adoptable Kitty situation this past week?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:24 PM EST] <bynw> just gently scoop her up and put her beside you if there is room
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:32 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I hate coloring my hair
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:44 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Quanah is bumping my chair back with his butt
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:47 PM EST] <KK> Hopefully kitty or kitties will happen this week.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:07:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm willing to pay major bucks for an expert to do it for me
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hope so, KK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:06 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Kittens?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:07 PM EST] <Laurna> That will be a lucky Kitty or kitties
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> I tried to add a couple of purple streaks, but there's still too much henna in the longer bits to bleach completely out and again, I got tired of the mess and hassle.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hoping that lucky kitty or kitties are waiting for you!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:16 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is there a shelter nearby?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:29 PM EST] <KK> Mature cats, hopefully a bonded pair whose person has passed.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I lowered the recliner, and Gigi woke up startled like "What? What?!" 😄
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:37 PM EST] <KK> Theree are two shelters.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:43 PM EST] <DesertRose> So I have striped hair now, a few stripes added by Mother Nature and the brighter stripes are the relics of my purple streaks.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:08:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> They'll be so happy to have a new human!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:09:05 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Good to take bonded pairs. I worry about Quanah & Itty Bitty Lily Kitty being separated.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:09:07 PM EST] <DesertRose> They'll be lucky kitties to come live with KK.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:09:11 PM EST] <KK> I hope so. And that they'll be ok with Booker.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:09:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And I'm sure the shelter people will be happy to see them go to a new home together
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:09:26 PM EST] <The_Bee> and Booker with them!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:09:37 PM EST] <Laurna> I never tried stripes but I like purple and pink.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:09:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> There will be a period of adjustment all around, I'm sure
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:09:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> me too
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:10:10 PM EST] <DesertRose> I wonder if they'd let you bring the adoptable kitties to visit to see if Booker can deal or let you bring Booker to the shelter to meet the kitties.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:10:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm going to do purple, but I'm not going to bleach it first so it's only sllightly tinged purple. Except for the gray bits, which should go nicely purple. 🙂
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:10:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> The most beautifel sunset I ever saw was pink and burple withpatches of blue.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:10:36 PM EST] <Laurna> Cool Nezz
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:10:39 PM EST] <The_Bee> purple
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:10:41 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I went less red last time to possibly lead to growing off color.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:10:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm not bold enough for pink or purple hair.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:11:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> 18 months and my old colour is gone now
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:11:21 PM EST] <Laurna> I did a light auburn at thanksgiving. it when gold by christmas
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:11:29 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Takes a while, but I'm kieepinng the top short
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:11:29 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys says hi and purrrrrrr
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:11:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> nice
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:11:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Carys
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:11:51 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've toyed with the idea of dyeing my hair green with red tips for Christmas.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:11:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Shelly purrs back
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:12:05 PM EST] <HoundMistress> That could be really pretty!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:12:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I've done teal hair and pink, but only the wash out sort, since I don't know if my workplace will allow it for everyday
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:12:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Bee, that would have looked so cool!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:12:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I had my last appointment just before Thanksgiving. Then just over a week later I get a message from a contact tracer that I might have been exposed. Fortunately my at home test was negative. And I hadn't had any symptoms develop
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:12:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My kitties are in their beds in my bedroom.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:12:45 PM EST] <DesertRose> Bee the Christmas tree!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:12:50 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I had both shots months ago, and still got COVID
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:05 PM EST] <Laurna> Yuck
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> bleah
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:22 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Yep, being alone is the worst part.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:23 PM EST] <DesertRose> You'd probably be sicker or be sick longer without the shots, much as being sick at all sucks.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:29 PM EST] <HoundMistress> sooo lonesome
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> I feel uncomfortable about  a dye job. if I dye my hair, I want it to look dyed.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:35 PM EST] <KK> Yuch. A mild does, I hope.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> HoundMistress, does yours seem to be the milder omicron variant?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:40 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Did you get the booster, HM?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:47 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Yes, cough mostly
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:13:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hugs, HoundMistress. At least a virtual hug, anyway
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:00 PM EST] <HoundMistress> No, was planning to get it
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:11 PM EST] <KK> Virtual hugs and healing woodgies!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:13 PM EST] <HoundMistress> That's the only kind of hugs I can get right now
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And you do have your dog, though not quite the same type of company
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> I seriously think that the mental load of all this isolation is going to be the worst long-term effect.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:19 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hugs to you HM
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:22 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Ah. Still get it.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:24 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Thanks!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:27 PM EST] <Laurna> A big virtual hug
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:36 PM EST] * DesertRose sends HoundMistress virtual hugs and Carys sends healing purrs.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well yes. We're here in solidarity, but just as well we're out of range of the virus
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> My daughter had both too, but she's got a heart defect and lots of respiratory sensitivity/ allergy issues, so I'm thankful she's got some protection to hopefully keep her mild Covid from becoming more of an issue. She's in the high risk group.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:14:57 PM EST] <HoundMistress> thanks! Y'all are so sweet!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> DR, I have the same concern. I feel so bad for the people who died in the hospital without getting to see their loved ones, an the loved ones who didn't get to see those who passed.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:09 PM EST] * The_Bee sends virtual hugs to all who want them.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Just got my Booster six days ago.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:21 PM EST] <bynw> my smell and taste have already returned
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:21 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I'm asthmatic
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> not good
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:44 PM EST] <TheDeryni> I got my booster in November
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> Also the kids that are having to deal with this, with the disruptions to school and their grown-ups work and their social groups.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That's god, Bynw
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:48 PM EST] <KK> Well, on this annoying note re Covid, I think I'm going to sign off and shortly head off to bed. Still tired a lot, but at least I'm sleeping well.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> good, I meant
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> I got my booster in November, too.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:56 PM EST] <Laurna> Good Bynw
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:15:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> SO grateful for the vaccines and boosters. 2021 was often bumpy, but still better than 2020
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:09 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> Sleep is good. Are we trying for Zoom in February, and staying with text chat for the rest of January, KK?
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:13 PM EST] <TheDeryni> G'night, Katherine!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:14 PM EST] <bynw> night KK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> KK, hope you continue to repair and maybe get some lovely kitties this week.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:17 PM EST] <HoundMistress> That's good to hear. We don't have to talk about COVID
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Glad you're improving, KK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, KK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> Thanks for coming to see us and have a good week!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Rest up and have a good week, KK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:22 PM EST] <bynw> thanks for coming
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:24 PM EST] <Laurna> Good Night KK
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:32 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Night, KK! Missed you all!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:35 PM EST] <Laurna> Good hunting at the shelters
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:40 PM EST] <KK> Sounds good, DR. I'll keep you guys updated about the status of my camera.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> Nighters, KK!  Glad you came.  Have good week.
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:53 PM EST] <DesertRose> Cool! G'night and have good sleep!
[Sunday, January 2, 2022] [8:16:59 PM EST] <KK> A good week to you all, and see you next week in chat.<b
