[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:02:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi KK
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:02:42 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:02:45 PM EDT] <Oyarsa> Hi KK
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:02:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi kk
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:02:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> "Book: Because Internet – Gretchen McCulloch" https://gretchenmcculloch.com/book/
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> "Book: Because Internet – Gretchen McCulloch" https://gretchenmcculloch.com/book/
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK. How does it feel to have closed on Edge Hill?
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi, KK
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:23 PM EDT] <KK> How's everyone doing tonight?
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Sorry for the double link.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Opaque cat in my way, so please excuse any typos
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I am being lazy and chatting from the recliner instead of sitting at my desk.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:45 PM EDT] <KK> It feels wonderful! And I paid off my car today.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:50 PM EDT] Join The_Bee (The_Bee@owirc-t4n.tb3.61.73.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yay!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi erased half my sentence twice before I could finish that
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Bee!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:03:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yay, KK!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:04:00 PM EDT] * Oyarsa is doing great
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:04:05 PM EDT] <Oyarsa> paying off a car is great
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:04:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Yay for you KK. HI Bee
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:04:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I'll be getting a new-to-me car soon.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:04:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi everyone, and Hello KK!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:04:18 PM EDT] <KK> Mine is also new to me.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:04:32 PM EDT] <KK> 2018 instead of 2007 Outback.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:04:41 PM EDT] <Oyarsa> it will be a while until i do that since i just bought a new to me car 3 weeks ago
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:04:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> My parents bought a new car, so the next most recent car is becoming my stepdad's and his current car will become mine. It has about half the miles as my current car, but I'll miss the Vibe. She's been a good little car.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:05:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 2007? About time you got a new car!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:05:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> The car that's about to be mine is a 2012, as opposed to my current '05.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:06:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I have a 2012 Corolla. She's a sweet car compared to the very temperamental, oil-guzzling one I used to have
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:06:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I bought new car shades, because I will 100% be that weirdo driving a white Ford Fusion mom sedan with rainbow tie-dye print car shades. 😆
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:06:56 PM EDT] <KK> Only makes sense to buy a pre-owned car. New ones depreciate so much as soon as they drive off the lot.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:07:02 PM EDT] <Oyarsa> i'm selling my old 2009 impalla, already sold Kristen's 2004 pontiac. i didn't need 2 cars after all and both have issues that aren't worth me pouring money into them to fix
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:07:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Love those tie dye shades
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:07:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Corollas are good cars too. Honestly, the Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix is basically a Corolla hatchback anyway. Same engine, I believe.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:07:40 PM EDT] <Oyarsa> so now i have a 2020 honda civic
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:07:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Also a good car.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:08:01 PM EDT] <KK> Cameron found the enw one for me in Texas, drove it out here, and drove the old one back to sell it, which he did. Good deal all around, and sweet of him to do all that hunting and driving for me.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:08:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've heard a Corolla described as "a sturdy car."
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:08:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Cameron is a good kid.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:08:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I bought my current car new, but because it had features I really wanted
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:08:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It's nice to have a reliable car after all the crap my last vehicle put me through
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:08:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I remember that, Evie. Your last car was a PITA.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:09:00 PM EDT] <KK> I drove Hondas for years, until we movwed back to the States and I switched to Subaru, on Cameron's recommendation. Good cars!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:09:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Mine had a feature I desperately wanted. It runs without having to add more oil every two days. 😂
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:09:38 PM EDT] <KK> I wanted a backup camera.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:09:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> They're so nice!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:10:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> did you get one?
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:10:02 PM EDT] <KK> Backup cameras are wonderful!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:10:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Love backup cameras
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:10:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I'm lucky that my parents buy a new car about every five or six years and we do the car shuffle like we're about to do, except this time, my parents are going to keep the Vibe around because of its cargo capacity and it being old enough that my stepdad doesn't have to care if he gets sawdust in it.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:10:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Their new ride is a Ford Edge, so it's got the cargo capacity but it's also shiny and new.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:11:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is you step dad a carpenter? or just sawing firewood?
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:11:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> The 2012 Fusion that's about to be mine has a backup camera too. It's nice to have for sure.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:11:20 PM EDT] <Oyarsa> this is the first one i've had with a backup camera. i'm getting used to it and like it
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:11:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Amateur but extremely good woodworker, Bee.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:11:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Cool!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:11:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> If he can't build it or fix it, it can't be built or isn't worth fixing.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:12:24 PM EDT] <KK> I'm still learning the new Subaru's mysteries, like how to set the cruise control. I looked it up a couple of days ago, but haven't been out since to try it out. Not doing a whole lot of driving these days.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:12:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> He can't spell if his life depended on it (that's my job in the family), but he can build and fix everything, it seems.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:12:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I love smart cruise control!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:12:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I tend to forget I have cruise control because I do a lot of inside-the-city driving where it's not worth the effort.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:13:01 PM EDT] <KK> So do I.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:13:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Nosey question, DR:  How long have your mom and stepdad been married?
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:13:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> it'll be 38 years right after Christmas this year.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:14:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> :]
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:14:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> She's been married to him far longer than she was to my bio-father (twelve years) and honestly, she made a much better choice of spouse the second time around. My bio-father had his redeeming qualities but he could also be a real jerk, and he had addiction problems he never resolved.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:15:07 PM EDT] <KK> Scott and I were married 36 years. All good!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:15:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> You and Scott must have gotten married right about the same time. Mom and Bill got married in 1984.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:15:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello everyone
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:15:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Shiral.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:15:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:15:57 PM EDT] <Oyarsa> hello Shiral
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:16:01 PM EDT] <KK> 1983.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:16:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:16:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> It's a little sad that I never knew what Scott looked like until after he passed, and then I got to see a picture of him and understood why he was described as "dashing."
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:16:18 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Shiral.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:16:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I read that and thought "KK and Scott got married on the same day," then I realized what you meant. 😂
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:16:41 PM EDT] <KK> He was, indeed, dashing. :-)
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:16:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝puts out a platter of strawberries, scones and cream␝
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:16:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> My DH and I will be married 59 years June 1.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:16:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And from what I heard from everyone who knew him, he was a lovely person in addition to being a handsome fellow.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:17:13 PM EDT] <KK> And well-read- with an encyclopedic memory.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:17:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> ␝puts out a tray of brownies in honor of my stepdad's birthday today, with ice cream to go with.␝
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:17:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Evie, I do kind of hope that KK and Scott got married on the same day! =o)
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:17:42 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, it ws kind of important.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:17:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> 😄
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:18:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> So much more convenient for everyone!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:18:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Does seem to work better that way, yeah.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:18:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:18:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:18:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Helloooo
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:18:46 PM EDT] <KK> Daphne is insisting on sitting between the keyboard and the screen. Kind of hard to see through her.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:18:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:18:54 PM EDT] * Oyarsa thinks that Scott was pretty cool
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:18:58 PM EDT] <Oyarsa> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I mean, Zoom is great, but you want to be in the same room at the same time as the person you're marrying!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That's what Gigi was doing earlier when you came online, KK
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Daphne, we don't know who your dad was, but we're all fairly sure he wasn't a glassmaker, sweet kitty.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:12 PM EDT] * The_Bee scritches Daphne.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> WHich is why I mentioned sitting behind an opaque cat
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yeah....opaque little creatures, cats
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> ␝offers Daphne some scritches too.␝
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> ␝offers still warm cinnamon cookies for the tea table␝
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi was also very proudly showing off her bum as if I've never seen one before.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:19:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys is napping, which is the only reason I'm not typing around tabby cat myself.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:20:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Was just taking a nap downstairs with a lap full of Dmitri. He was most displeased that I insisted on getting up
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:20:32 PM EDT] <KK> Long ago and far away, when we had fat tv's, I had a fluffy white cat who liked to meatloaf on top of the tv and let her tail hang down over the screen. Interesting.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:21:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What was her name?
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:21:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It was warm. That makes it the perfect cat perch.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:21:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> When I had one of those box-shaped Macintosh computers, Izzy would stand in front of it and her tummy was just high enough and wide enough to hide the screen
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:21:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Speaking of the foibles of cats: https://youtu.be/P0OB9p0zqx0
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:22:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I hda a cat who liked to lie on top of the TV and let her head hang down in front of the screen I always thought she must have had an interesting view of the world.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:23:08 PM EDT] <KK> Galadriel, or Gilly to friends and family.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:23:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Quite a name to live up to
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:23:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Christian used to like to watch sports. He was especially fond of any maneuver that resulted in a ball flying across the screen, be it a long pass in football or a line drive in baseball or whatever. You could see him track the ball. This was the same cat who'd fetch a tennis ball, when the mood was upon him.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:23:48 PM EDT] <KK> She was definitely beautiful.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:24:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> She made it into Catalyst, as I recall
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:24:32 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:24:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Was she the one hanging out with Cathan?
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:24:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think so
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:25:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Symber was the cat Rhys Healed, IIRC.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:25:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:25:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> e was evaine's cat
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:26:35 PM EDT] <KK> Back.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:27:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> front
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:27:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Sides
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:27:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Top and bottom
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:27:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> upside down
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:27:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Upside down
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:27:45 PM EDT] <Oyarsa> everyone is a comedian today :)
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:27:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We take direction so well
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:28:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> It's an old tradition here.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:28:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝sends an experimental trout sailing across the chatroom␝
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:28:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Along with trebuchets and fish
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:29:08 PM EDT] <KK> That catnip link above is funny. That cat obviously has the catnip gene. Not all cats do, you know.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:29:11 PM EDT] * The_Bee reaches out and tosses it one the barbecue.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:29:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> And puns to make DR glare at us
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:30:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup that cat wants that 'nip
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:30:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And throw fish at you.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:30:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Mickey is a catnipper.  Melantha wasn't
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:31:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I know. Carys loves nip. If I were foolhardy enough to let her get her face into the jar, I'd be playing out that video myself. :D
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:32:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri has a catnip stuff cloth sausage that he loves. It turns up in unexpected places
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:32:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> The funniest thing I've ever seen was my son's cat's reaction to a catnip-scented scratching pad, right after my son warned me that Butters probably wouldn't react to it "because he really isn't into cat toys or anything like that."
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:33:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What about Tati?
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:33:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> She's not as turned on by 'nip although she'll pretend for a few minutes to avoid hurting my feelings
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:34:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Thoughtful cat
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:34:05 PM EDT] <KK> Our last Christmas in Ireland, someone got our cats one of those sausage link toys stuffed with catnip, and we put it under the tree, wrapped, and the guys found it during the night and ripped it open.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:34:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> When Catarina was a young cat, we got her a catnip sock (it literally looked like the ankle part of a red tube sock), and it was ␝supposed␝ to go in her Christmas stocking but she raided my parents' closet (where Mom had hidden it among other Christmas presents), took it off the shelf, and ripped the package open. We got home one afternoon to find her playing quite enthusiastically.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:35:03 PM EDT] <KK> We'd find the dausage string sopping wet from having been licked so much.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:35:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A risk to have a delicious-smelling package (to a cat) under a tree decorated with glass ornaments

[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:35:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Catty apparently climbed up my parents' clothes because Mom said she'd tucked it behind some of the boxes of shoes she didn't wear super frequently (thus they were stored up high).
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:36:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But if I fall for toys that promise "your cat wants one!" my two cats will look at me as if to say "why on earth did you waste money on this?"
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:36:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> So she had to scale two rows of hanging clothes to get to the shoe boxes. She ␝wanted␝ that toy.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:36:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> q
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:36:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That's a determined cat
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:37:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Apparently all this talk of cats and cat toys woke Carys because she is now trying to make biscuits out of my left forearm. That orphaned q up there is an artifact of feline assisted typing. 😆
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:38:37 PM EDT] <KK> lol
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:38:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> It's cat code
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:39:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Carys belongs to Qanon!? D:
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:39:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup. Dmitri is now on top of my computer mouse as if he plans to hatch it
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:39:03 PM EDT] <KK> yep
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:39:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> It's code for Pet Me Right Meow.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:39:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> No chat, only pet.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:40:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> 🐈
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:42:17 PM EDT] <KK> I'm going to have to go. Daphne is making a pest of herself, and I need to figure out how to lessen that for future chats. Whoops, now she's moved on, so I'll stay a while longer. Anybody have anything exciting happening?
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:42:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Looking forward to a vacation next month
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:42:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Humming birds at the feeder
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:43:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I got a new adult trike. I'm keeping it indoors after my previous one was stolen.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:43:17 PM EDT] <Oyarsa> mini vacation just before memorial weekend to JAX
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:43:23 PM EDT] <KK> Whoops, now I've got a phone call coming in. Need to take it. See you guys next week!
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:43:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Cleaner is coming tomorrow and my friend who's been helping me handle laundry is planning to come over afterwards.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:43:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Bye, KK have a good week

[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:44:06 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, May 15, 2022] [7:44:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Bye KK, Have a good week

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
