[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:02:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> They went well.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:03:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> hi KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:03:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi KK!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:03:05 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:03:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:03:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> How was your week?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:03:23 PM EDT] <bynw> hi kk
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:03:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:04:02 PM EDT] <KK> Eventful. Old house is now under contract, to close on May 2 if all goes well. What a relief!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:04:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Woohoo!

[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:04:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Birthday Nezz!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:04:46 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Nezz.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:04:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> thank you DR 🙂
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:05:06 PM EDT] <KK> Got 2 offers, took the higher and much better one.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:05:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Happy Birthday, Nezz

[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:05:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> thanks Bee
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:05:27 PM EDT] <KK> Happy birthday, Nezz.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:05:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh yay!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:05:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> thanks 🙂
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:05:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Happy birthday, Nezz.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:05:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> ␝sets out magic ice-cream churn that dispenses the favorite flavor of the person serving themself.␝
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:06:01 PM EDT] <KK> Is it a good one, Nezz?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:06:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> thank you DFK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:06:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Congrats KK.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:06:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> it's been quite lovely. and quiet. 🙂
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:06:40 PM EDT] <KK> It ain't over till the fat lady sings. Just hope the sale goes through. Looks good, though.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:06:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Quiet is good, or it certainly can be.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:06:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I generally like quiet
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:07:06 PM EDT] <bynw> if you want it to be quiet then it's good
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:07:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I also generally prefer quiet.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:07:51 PM EDT] <KK> We had snow squalls yesterday, about 5 of them. Enough to briefly dust the grass, but it would melt every time the sun came out. Schizoid spring!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:08:12 PM EDT] * The_Bee pours fudge sauce over her dish of peppermint ice cream.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:08:24 PM EDT] <KK> Bee, that wound delicious!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:08:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I have joked quiet a bit about if, "if [the music] is too loud, you're too old" applied, I was too old by age fifteen.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:08:29 PM EDT] <KK> sounds
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:09:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Today was pretty much a perfect day for me. First, church and a photo session afterwards with Duncan (and lots of ladies cooing over his little bishop robes 😂 ), a nice walk, then lunch at a new restaurant, then craft chat (and clucking the Birthday Song), some writing, and now KK chat. And the weather is glorious!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:09:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I loved the birthday cluck, it was amazing!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:09:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> W.e're heading for cold and windy after a warmer-than-usual March.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:09:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> For those on Discord, you can scroll up for the scrumptious photos of Evie's lunch.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:10:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It was pretty cold here last night, so I assumed it would be cold today too, but it wasn't.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:10:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> 🐔
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:11:00 PM EDT] <KK> Clucking the birthday song?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:11:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Because Evie is a weirdo, and she's our beloved weirdo. <3
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:11:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes. I cluck like a chicken at random moments, or if it's someone's birthday, they get the birthday song clucked to them.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:11:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Poor Duncan. He is such a devoted priest. I's all he wants to be but has to keep fighting off the women. It's tough being so handsome
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:11:53 PM EDT] <KK> As in buck buck buck?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:11:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, exactly, KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:12:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> As in!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:12:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> cluck-cluck-cluck-clucK!  Cluck! Cluck!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:12:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> And LOL, poor Duncan, though there are worse hardships. 😄
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:12:16 PM EDT] <bynw> it's been cold here the past week. highs in the 40s or may 50s. a couple of weeks ago we had highs in the 60s and 70s
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:12:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Bu-kock!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:12:28 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, Bynw!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:12:38 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:12:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi bynw!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:13:00 PM EDT] <KK> How're you settling into your new home?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:13:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi bynw!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:13:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Yup. Spring is definite;y playing hard to get this year.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:14:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Spring comes and goes.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:14:28 PM EDT] <bynw> it's been a month since i moved in. it's good. kagi still hasn't accepted the fact we now live with a dog too. but she is coming around
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:15:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello All
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:15:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi is here and says hello
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:15:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:15:32 PM EDT] * The_Bee scritches Gigi.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:15:33 PM EDT] <KK> Daphne was here, but has left now.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:15:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:15:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How are Daphne and Booker getting along?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:16:05 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Shiral.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:16:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:16:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:16:16 PM EDT] <KK> Daphne and Booker are getting along just fine.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:16:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Oh good!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:16:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> yay
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:16:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝puts out a fresh tea pot and some scones, cream and jam␝
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:16:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Did it take them a while to adjust to each other?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:16:56 PM EDT] <bynw> hi shiral
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:17:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Yummy, cream tea
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:17:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> hi Bynw
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:17:20 PM EDT] <KK> Not much time at all. Remember that he grew up around cats, from the time he was a puppy.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:17:28 PM EDT] <KK> And Daphne is a pretty mellow cat.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:17:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, but I wasn't sure if Daphne was used to dogs or not
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:17:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> She was probably happy to have a human all to herself
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:18:25 PM EDT] <KK> I'm not sure she'd ever seen one before, but they settled in quickly. As long as he doesn't suddenly galumph right beside her. That's a bit startling.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:18:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or at least, one she didn't have to share with multiple other cats
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:19:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi has settled into Luke's former customary spot across my arms as I'm trying to type
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:19:36 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We had a dog and kitten when I was growing up.  The kitten used to suckle on the dog's nipples.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:19:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Can't let Mom think she can type unhindered I see
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:19:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys is snoozing in my desk chair, since I am thoughtfully not using it.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:20:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> DS woke up one morning several years ago to find Gigi trying to nurse on him. It was startling, to say the least! 😂
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:20:29 PM EDT] <KK> Daphne likes to get right up by the screen and watch the cursor and other things move around on the screen. That will become easier once I deal with the clutter on my desk. But right now, I'm working on the boxes in my living room.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:20:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Kitty also sucked on blouse buttons.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:21:26 PM EDT] <KK> Daphne doesn't seem to suck on things. But she sure doesn
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:21:32 PM EDT] <KK> like to lie on my lap.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:21:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The late beloved Isadora was one of those "nursing kittens" I think she may have been weaned before she was truly ready
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:21:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> My son's cat likes to suckle on fuzzy blankets
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:21:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Merlin does that, but it's one specific fuzzy blanket.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:22:03 PM EDT] <KK> Daphne does like to sleep on lap.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:22:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> does or doesn't, KK?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:22:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Tati doesn't nurse, but when she's very relaxed and happy, she does drool
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:22:15 PM EDT] <KK> The perfect lap cat.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:22:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys drools sometimes too.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:23:10 PM EDT] <bynw> kagi was never a lap cat when she was younger but has started to become one
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:23:19 PM EDT] <KK> Daphne has definitely grown, too, in the 5 weeks she's been here. And this past week, I eliminated the small litter box that was in the hall bathtub. She's just using the bigger one by the door into the garage now.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:23:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi wasn't always a lap cat, but she started liking occasional lap time when she got to be around four or so, and then liked it more often the older she got, and now she'd rather me on or beside me at all times if I'm sitting down or lying on the bed.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:23:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Francesca was a drooler, too. When I found Tati at the Shelter and she started to drool, the deal was sealed
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:24:02 PM EDT] <KK> How's Kagi adapting to the new barkie brother?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:25:21 PM EDT] <bynw> it's a barkie sister. still staying away from her. kagi hisses when she notices the dog
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:26:14 PM EDT] <bynw> for the most part kagi stays in the office and spare room and doesn't venture out of them much
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:26:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Remind me, Shiral--Was Francesca the daughter cat or the mother cat?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:27:12 PM EDT] <KK> They'll adapt, Bynw.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:28:37 PM EDT] <bynw> here's a picture when we hung out in the bathroom during that tornado a few weeks back ....
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:28:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The mother cat. Nina had to be put to sleep in 2010. That's when Dmitri joined the household
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:28:52 PM EDT] <bynw> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/kjjhuyl3/66821573716__657A56FC-45AA-4446-A108-B63A8C4DB612.JPG
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:28:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> How close did that tornado get, Bynw?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:29:12 PM EDT] <bynw> very
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:29:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> So you've known and loved many fur-kids.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:29:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Over the years, yes
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:29:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> That's one grumpy kitty! 🙂
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:29:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> In all justice, I think I'd be pretty grumpy if I could hear a tornado heading my way
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:29:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL, yes, that definitely looks like it's not Kagi's idea of a good time.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:29:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh yeah
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:30:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or more accurately, freaked out
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:30:05 PM EDT] <KK> A tornado is nobody's idea of a good time!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:30:10 PM EDT] <bynw> she didn't like that the dog was on my lap
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:30:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> Kagi is like "Why does the dog have your lap and not me?"
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:30:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Kagi looks like she's taking umbrage at the storm.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:30:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Yeah, that's what she looks annoyed about
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:30:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> "This icky weather and now that interloper DOG is on MY dad's lap?!?!"
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:30:42 PM EDT] <KK> As well she should!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:31:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> THat is one thing too many for me to put up with all at once!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:31:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, it's like a fireworks factory going off overhead, along with terrifying winds, if it's passing close by.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:31:34 PM EDT] <bynw> she weighs twice what that Molly weighs
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:32:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Kagi: "I don't care. I was here first!"
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:32:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I think of the two, I'd rather have a cat than a dog in my lap if a tornado were to actually hit. One word: claws!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:32:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> "I want to speak to the manager!"
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:32:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Rather have the dog, I mean!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:33:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> The last thing I'd want on me is a terrified cat
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:33:30 PM EDT] <bynw> we are in a large subdivision called yellow banks. a part of it just a couple of miles southwest of us had a lot of damage and lost homes
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:33:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Oof. 😦
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:34:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> I think you should have been searching for a basement
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:34:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> We had one that came within about 2.5 miles of this house several years back, but the irony was that it hit two other neighborhoods where we almost moved before deciding to buy this house instead.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:34:43 PM EDT] <KK> If no basement is available, I believe you look for a room with no outside walls, or as few as possible.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:34:45 PM EDT] <bynw> no basement here. so the bathroom was the best location
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:34:54 PM EDT] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:35:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, basements or interior closets are usually safest if you can't go below ground and don't have a storm shelter.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:35:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've started looking for Melantha's successor.  The people at the pet clinic may help; and I've read about an open (non-caged) shelter.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:35:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> My parents recently had a storm shelter custom built in their master bathroom where there used to be a jacuzzi, since they never used the jacuzzi.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:35:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good luck Bee, I hope you find a sweet kitty
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:36:01 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, excellent, Bee! If you were here in Staunton, I know where I'd send you!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:36:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I wish I'd hugged goodby before I gave her up.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:36:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I hope you find a nice one, Bee
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:36:49 PM EDT] <bynw> i think i would have used the jacuzzi
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:37:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've already chosen a name for a female; Nellwyn
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:37:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> The Jacuzzi sides were too high for them to get in and out of safely anymore (they're in their mid-80s), so that's one reason they never used it. A storm shelter is much more practical for their needs.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:37:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> Don't use the Jacuzzi during a storm. I hope that is not what you meant
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:37:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:37:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:37:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:38:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:38:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Jerusha, how was dinner?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:38:10 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Jerusha.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:38:16 PM EDT] <bynw> hi jerusha
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:38:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It was good, but too much work
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:38:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:38:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> a Jacuzzi during a storm (as a shelter, not to bathe in) would be safer than some places, since you'd have fairly thick protective walls around you. Better if you could put a mattress on top too. It's not ideal, but better than a large open room.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:39:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:39:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Storm shelter is a good idea
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:39:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've read about bathtubs as tornado shelters.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:39:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:39:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, bathtubs are better than nothing
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:40:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> As long as it's not on an exterior wall.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:40:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> All my bathrooms have windows
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:40:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Why do I have a picture in my mind of ruby slippers peaking out from underneath a bathtub?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> LOL
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> heh
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:05 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've found neighbor cat Mickey in or on my tub a few times.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> None of mine do. But I'm not in Tornado territory
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:11 PM EDT] <bynw> lol jerusha
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> And bicycle or motorcycle helmets save a lot of people whose houses get hit, because the biggest cause of death is often head injury
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Tatiana thinks my bathtub is a terrific playground
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> with or without the water running?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Frankie loves getting a drink from the bathroom
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:41:55 PM EDT] <KK> Not with you in it, I hope.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:42:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> Put a ball in there and which it roll around
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:42:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Even though that's where I have the drying rack
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:42:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I caught Luke in the guest tub playing hockey with shampoo bottles once.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:42:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And even if it doesn't kill you, head trauma is BAD NEWS.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:42:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> No, not with me in it. =o)
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:42:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys looks at me like I've lost my entire mind when I have a bath (as opposed to the more common shower).
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:42:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> When Izzy was just a kitten, she fell in while I WAS taking a bath. Next thing I saw was the sodden south end of an angry northbound kitten
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:06 PM EDT] * bynw had a cat years ago that liked to swim
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> ROFL
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Bengals usually like water, don't they, Bynw?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:22 PM EDT] <KK> And hopefully no kitty claw tracks on your person.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Poor Izzie!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Nina would wade right into my bathroom sink when it was full.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm gonna bop out and go make some birthday fondue. Y'all have a great one if I'm not back soon...
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yum!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yum!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:43 PM EDT] <bynw> bengals in general yes
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> She's the only cat I've ever had who didn't seem to hate water
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:46 PM EDT] <KK> Enjoy!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Happy Birthday, Nezz!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:43:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Happy birthday, Nezz
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:44:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Fondue=YUM!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:44:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> Happy birthday Nezz
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:44:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> thanks all 🙂
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:44:19 PM EDT] <bynw> cya nezz. happy birthday
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:44:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Happy birthday!

[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:45:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But to Tati, the empty dry bathtub is a fascinating place
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:45:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And Dmitri has a weird fascination for the shower stall in my master bath
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:45:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi seems largely indifferent to the tub, though she likes to explore the shower when it's not in use
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:46:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I've never turned on the water when Dmitri was in it, but I suspect he'd bolt!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:46:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I read that as "I suspect he'd boil," and I thought "Well, don't turn the water on that hot!" 😄
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:47:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> No, I would never boil him!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:47:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Speak of the fuzzy devil and he appears.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:47:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yeah. He'd be better as a roast. I mean, he'd not like that. Right. That's what I meant. ␝whistling␝
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:47:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Dmitri
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:47:56 PM EDT] <KK> My shower doesn't get that hot sometimes. Need to see about turning up the thermostat just a tad.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:48:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hello, Dmitri
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:48:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi Dmitri
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:48:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He was all over me during Family Zoom this morning
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:48:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> He wanted to meet your family.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:48:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He says hello, various and sundry Cat Serfs
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:48:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:49:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He met them long ago.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:49:14 PM EDT] <bynw> dmitri wonders why you have summoned him by speaking his name
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:49:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And now Tati has shown up without my saying anything
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:49:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Miss Priss here is rumbling like a very quiet coffee mill
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:49:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Tati!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:50:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Dark roast?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:50:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Cat Coffe....interesting idea
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:50:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or just feline barrista
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:50:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yeah, she's pretty dark, so that fits
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:51:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or a purrista
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:51:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Purrfect roast, every time
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:52:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> There actually is a type of coffee made from coffee beans that have gone through a particular species of cat first. But I'm not feeling particularly inclined to taste anything that's been through a cat's GI tract, even if it's supposed to be a delicacy
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:52:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ewww
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:52:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Poor Kitty!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:52:44 PM EDT] <bynw> ewwwww
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:52:46 PM EDT] <KK> I've heard of that. But not being a coffee drinker....
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:52:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> People will swallow VERY weird things. No, that's not my idea of a good morning cup of coffee
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:52:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Besides which, I think it's really expensive even if I did feel inclined to try it
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:52:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> pass
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:53:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Normal coffee's expensive enough
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:53:37 PM EDT] <bynw> glad i don't drink coffee
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:53:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> agreed bynw
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:53:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_luwak
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:53:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A must have for me in the morning
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:54:08 PM EDT] <bynw> never have to worry were the beans have been
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:54:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'll take my coffee unpredigested, thank you.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:54:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Still ewww
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:54:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I do have to wonder about the person who first decided "Hey, this looks like something interesting to try...." 😂
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:55:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> They must have been desparate
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:55:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I like coffee, but I will never be THAT desperate for a drink of anything!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:56:01 PM EDT] <KK> There are lots of foods like that. Like, who ever decided to try eating shrimp, or jellyfish, or sea urchins.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:56:29 PM EDT] <KK> And how do you get the big cats to eat the coffee beans in the first place?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:56:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> All of those are very much on my "Not Food" list, since they're all seafood, and my taste buds have a major NOPE aversion to anything that lived in water.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:57:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I think they naturally swallow them, KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:57:07 PM EDT] <bynw> someone starving is my guess
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:57:46 PM EDT] <KK> I guess so.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:58:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The article claims the civets choose the best cherries--but they can't if they're force-fed.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:58:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Dear Lord, though, the prices for that coffee! $100/kg for farm grown and $1300/kg for wild harvested?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:58:49 PM EDT] * Laurna ignoring this coversation while eating costco cheesecake with chocolate shavings on top.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:58:56 PM EDT] <KK> Speaking of starving, I'm not quite to that point myself, but Booker is, and Daphne seems to want to eat whenever I go into the kitchen. So on that note....
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:58:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> PETA has raised the issue of animal cruelty.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:59:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A good plan, Laurna
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:59:42 PM EDT] <KK> Zoom next week, at 3p eastern time?
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:59:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Well, don't starve the critters, then. As if on cue, Gigi has just wandered over towards the kitchen. I swear she knows how to read!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [7:59:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> zoom will be great
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Zoom sounds great
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:03 PM EDT] <Laurna> Have a good week KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Enjoy your week, KK.  And your meal when you're hungry.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:10 PM EDT] <bynw> zoom next week
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, KK, have a good week
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Not sure if I can make it, but you'll see me, you'll know I could.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Yay Zoom!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Enjoy supper and the week to come, KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Next Sunday I'll try to remember the right time and not be wandering around town when it's about to start!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:29 PM EDT] <KK> I promise to present Daphne for your adoration. I swear she's grown in the 5 weeks she's been here.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:00:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> They do that, at that age
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:03 PM EDT] <Laurna> wow can not believe it has been 5 wks
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:06 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Though Gigi stopped growing while still in the Fun Size stage
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Bye, KK, Have good week
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> She's very petite for an adult cat
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:18 PM EDT] <bynw> have a good week KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> good night kk
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:30 PM EDT] <KK> Ta-ta for now, and a good week to all. Nighters!
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Goodnight, KK
[Sunday, March 27, 2022] [8:01:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Good night and good week, KK
