[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:02:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi TMTMTM
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:02:13 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:02:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi TM
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:02:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo KK
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:02:21 PM EDT] <KK> Helo, all.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:02:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> hI kk!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:02:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> BRB. Firing up laptop so I can type properly
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:02:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:03:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> How's everyone tonight?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:03:36 PM EDT] * bynw is good
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:03:36 PM EDT] <KK> Firing up the laptop is probably a good idea, with cat assistance.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:03:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Here again from laptop
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:04:11 PM EDT] <KK> How is eveeryone?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:04:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Multi-tasking. Got a zoom meeting going on at the same time.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:04:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> but good otherwise. 🙂
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:04:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Doing fine. I'm making lots of progress on the Tudor dollhouse. Uploading pics to Flickr now so I can share links.

[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:04:54 PM EDT] <KK> Zoom plus chat = ambitious.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:05:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> slightly frazzled.  I was expecting a refund on my state taxes; instead I got a letter saying I owe $2000+.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:05:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Ewwwwww!!!!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:05:23 PM EDT] <KK> What? How could you owe them that much, Bee?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:05:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> i NEED TO CALL SOMEONE TOMORROW FOR HELP.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:05:42 PM EDT] <bynw> i ran across a picture the other day ... i'll post it with my other connection so all can see ...
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:05:56 PM EDT] <KK> You do, Bee.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:06:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Ouch, Bee!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:06:13 PM EDT] <[chris]> my baby girls. both are missed. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/9muOtgef/P1020382.JPG
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:06:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> iT MIGHT BE FROM INVESTMENTS.  bUT i'VE NEVEROWED THATMUCH BEFORE.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:06:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Bee, KK, and TM
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:06:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> sorry forgotcaps lock
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:06:59 PM EDT] <KK> Awwww. Sweet pic, Bynw.

[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:07:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Here was the micro dollhouse last night, when I was making and test fitting some windows: https://www.flickr.com/gp/9573389@N08/27fY7d6QXz
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:07:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> WB TM
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:07:40 PM EDT] <KK> Cool, Evie.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:07:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> And I added the daub about an hour ago: https://www.flickr.com/gp/9573389@N08/Gik886EmW6
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:08:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> My cousin got engaged, which we knew was coming. She's been seeing him for several years and I'd heard a few months back that he'd bought a ring. Sapphire and very pretty.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:08:20 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> (at airport, quite bored with flight delays & layovers)
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:08:41 PM EDT] <KK> That's going to be cool! Q-tip for scale.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:08:45 PM EDT] <bynw> congrats to your cousin
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:08:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Ugh, airport delays.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:08:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> , TM?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:08:57 PM EDT] <bynw> getting engaged seems to be going around
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:09:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Waiting for that to dry. I made the mistake of trying to put the bottom side window in while it's still wet, and even though I got it in, I knocked a little of the daub off the wall, so I want to be sure the rest is fully dry before I add more windows so I don't end up having to redo the wall completely.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:09:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> where have you been, TM?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:09:12 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, congrats to your cousin, DR.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:09:21 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Home maintenance is such a pain
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:09:40 PM EDT] <KK> It is.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:09:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Congratucousin
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:10:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> She teaches elementary school, and it's been hilarious to see her take her classroom management skills and apply them at family gatherings.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:10:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Does it work?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:10:45 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Does she sing songs to get people to line up?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:10:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I also started scrubbing out the old fish tank we used to use as a hermit crab habitat, since I think that will become my dollhouse display case once I get a new glass or acrylic cover for it.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:10:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> She basically herded us at her older sister's baby shower.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:11:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Crabitat ␝giggle␝
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:11:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> 😄
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:11:31 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> If she enforces nap times at gatherings, more power to her
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:11:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> It cracked me up because she was the youngest adult present and she managed us as if we were her third graders.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:11:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:11:52 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Was she wrong
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:12:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> She doesn't have to enforce nap times on the adults. The kids are another story. 🤣
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:12:14 PM EDT] <KK> Nap times are good, at our ages.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:12:27 PM EDT] <bynw> nothing wrong with a nap at any age
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:12:39 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> +1
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:12:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Dealing with elementary school kids is like herding ferrets, so I imagine she's gotten effective at crowd management
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:12:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I used to know someone like that.  She taught 2d (?) grade, and talked to us all as if we were 2d-graders.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:13:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> It was just funny to watch her run a baby shower game by standing in the middle of her parents' living room and waiting quietly with this Look on her face until we all shut up and paid attention.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:14:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Oh, she doesn't talk down to anyone that I've ever seen. She just has her ways of crowd management.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:14:34 PM EDT] <KK> People who choose to teach kids are real life heroes.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:16:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My mom taught junior high
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:16:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> She is. She won the eternal devotion of a few of her students in her student-teaching year because they were recent immigrants and she speaks fluent Spanish. I don't think they expected it because it's hardly possible to look like more of a gringa (tall, blonde, blue eyes).
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:17:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> BRB
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:18:20 PM EDT] <KK> My paternal grandfather taught high school math. He could add up a column of figures faster than an adding machine....back when those were manual. I never saw that aspect of his talents; he died while I was in junior high, but he was a good man!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:19:00 PM EDT] <KK> How did she come to speak such sluent Spanish?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:19:06 PM EDT] <KK> fluent
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:19:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL! That's like my dad. He'll spontaneously start conversations in Spanish if he is out in public and runs into Latino people (like at an outdoor community picnic he and Mom went to last summer), and they are usually startled to hear an 85 year old obviously gringo dude speaking fluently in Spanish. He's more fluent than my mom is, and she grew up on an island where a Spanish-based dialect is natively spoken!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:20:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:20:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:20:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:21:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> hey Jerusha 🙂
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:21:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Have i missed much?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:22:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> grandparents and teachers
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:22:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I showed a couple of pics of the micro dollhouse in progress. Links are above if you're on Discord. If you're on IRC, I can repost them.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:22:25 PM EDT] <KK> Just usual chit-chat.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:22:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> cute kitty pics
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:22:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I am on discord
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:22:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> In that case, you shouldn't have to scroll up too far.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:22:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Love the Bengal picture
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:23:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Happy Sunday Everysone
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:23:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Oh, while I'm thinking of it, are we doing Zoom chat next week?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:23:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hey Laurna
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:23:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:23:50 PM EDT] <KK> I assume we are.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:24:47 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Jerusha. hi Laurna
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:24:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Bynw
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:25:04 PM EDT] <bynw> yes it would be next week for Zoom
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:25:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I am missing Costume College, this weekend. I keep looking at all the pictures from there. My sister and her Hubby are running the booth. But I didn't go.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:25:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh? Why not?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:25:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> OK, good. I have a Movie on the Lawn event at church next week at our usual chat time, but then I realized that's First Sunday, so I won't have to miss chat after all if it's at the regular Zoom chat time.

[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:27:48 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> (this Bojangles managed to make inferior airport food, which is limboing under a low bar indeed. i should get to the departure concourse)

[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:28:38 PM EDT] <KK> What's the gypsy vanner's name?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:28:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Feel free to send me the Cavaliers if you are overburdened. (Just kidding)
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:28:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna>
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:29:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Beautiful!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:29:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Yearling colt he is a funny guy.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:29:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> So he will get a lot bigger?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:29:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi is here to look disapprovingly at me for paying attention to you and not her.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:30:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> yep some what bigger anyway
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:30:15 PM EDT] * The_Bee scritches Gigi.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:30:27 PM EDT] <KK> So, you get the task of breaking him to saddle or harness or both.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:30:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Not me. I just get to feed him and clean his stall.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:30:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Feathered feet - a type of draft horse?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:31:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> They are European gypsy cart horses. all that hair is for flash.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:32:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Okay, back. Cousin learned to speak Spanish because she took it as her language in high school and really enjoyed it so continued studying it.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:32:20 PM EDT] <KK> They do ride them, but mostly they pull carts.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:32:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> My sister plans on training him for riding and driving.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:33:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:33:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I am being incapussitated by a purrball
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:33:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi DR
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:33:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Sweet purrballs
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:33:34 PM EDT] <KK> In Ireland, they're fond of driving them in little 2-wheeled sulky carts.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:33:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> My purrball is napping in my desk chair. I'm in the recliner.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:33:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> nice
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:34:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Laurna, maybe you could trade in your Halloween pirate ship for a tinker's cart. I know of a master spy who could sell you one cheap.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:34:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> ROFL
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:34:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL Perfect Jerussha./
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:34:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> 😄
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:35:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Once the dollhouse is finished, I'll be painting this up like Luke to go in it: https://www.flickr.com/gp/9573389@N08/394A21THi2
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:35:19 PM EDT] <Dennis> My catface is ignoring my wife and I because I committed the unforgivable crime of feeding her 10 minutes late.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:35:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Oh the horror!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:35:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I have a two wheel cart, but it is wooden and getting old. My horse use to drive. Now I have to modifie that cart for Holloween and put Sir Iain in the drivers seat.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:35:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Woe be upon you!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:35:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Dennis, how could you be so remiss?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:36:18 PM EDT] <Dennis> And no sooner did I hit return, then she came in the room, just to make me wrong.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:36:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:36:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Of course
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:36:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Because cat
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:36:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sir Iain hopes you add padding to the seat. Not as young as he used to be.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:36:43 PM EDT] <Dennis> Indeed. Because cat. :)
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:37:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL I shall add a pillow for his darrier.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:37:15 PM EDT] <bynw> never had a feeding time with cats. just a food dish that always had some kibble available
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:37:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> "so raise a beer in the air to the famous derriere!"
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:37:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> ROFL
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:38:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "Iain chokes on his ale"
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:38:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Why, yes, I am going to milk that silly song for all it's worth, why do you ask?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:38:31 PM EDT] <KK> Yep, kibble always available, and wet food approximately 3 times a day, or when I'm in the kitchen and the wet bowl is empty and someone obviously wants more.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:38:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Has KK heard that song yet?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:38:55 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, no.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:39:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> For those who are unfamiliar, Jerusha played a character named Darcy Cameron in the play by post game.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:39:16 PM EDT] <Dennis> Vet strongly recommended not free feeding Missy unless we wanted her to get big enough for her own zip code.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:40:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And then my Pandora handed me this: https://youtu.be/C6N6W59nQh4
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:40:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> My cat is free fed dry only. and she would rather eat live things from outside.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:40:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sir Iain is his brother, master spy for King Kelson
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:40:12 PM EDT] <KK> Now, that conjures a vision....
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:40:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> When we still had an automated feeder, Gigi figured out how to get the kibble out between feedings. She earned the nickname Chubbybubble before DH managed to find a fix for the problem.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:40:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Best song ever, DR
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:41:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Makes me sure tap my feet. LOL
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:41:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or dance a jig
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:43:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And we'll raise a drink to...oh well, never mind....
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:43:43 PM EDT] <KK> Quite a song.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:43:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> "raise a glass to Darcy's Ass" ROFL
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:44:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Very silly song, but fun.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:44:36 PM EDT] <KK> I'm thinking about a water fountain for Daphne, because I keep forgetting to change her water bowl.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:44:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> They do like the aerated water
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:45:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> That might be good.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:45:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I love having a fountain for Carys.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:45:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> We had one for a while. Gigi liked it, but they are a bit of maintenance, having to disassemble and reassemble them regularly to clean them properly.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:45:21 PM EDT] <KK> I've seen ads for one that doesn't require plugging in, but wonder what powers it.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:45:26 PM EDT] Quit Dennis (Dennis@owirc-j3s.075.61.24.IP) has left this server (Quit: Connection closed).
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:45:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Battery powered?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:45:48 PM EDT] <KK> The ad didnt imply that.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:45:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Little mouse treadmill?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:45:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I recommend getting stainless steel. Plastic harbors bacteria and porcelain is too easily broken.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:46:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I want to replace Gigi's fountain, but preferably with a different model that is easier to clean and find filters for.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:46:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Plastic also tends to leak.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:46:30 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, I learned long ago not to use plastic for feeding and watering bowls.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:46:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Can you throw one of those in the dishwasher?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:46:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yes, except for the motor.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:47:19 PM EDT] <KK> You can throw just about anything into the dishwasher We used to clean the crystals from our chandeliers in our dishwasher. They do come out sparkly!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:47:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Neat idea
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:48:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Now that I have my countertop dishwasher, all I have to wash by hand is the motor, and it's little and I had already worked out the most efficient way to wash it long before I got the dishwasher.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:48:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> That is what I should do with my chandaler glass covers.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:48:49 PM EDT] <KK> What do you mean by glasds covers?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:48:59 PM EDT] <KK> glass
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:49:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Maybe the glass that goes around the light bulbs? Mine has those.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:49:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Oh KK, Thank you Thank yo y for the two Books. Check will be in the mail tomaarow. sorry I didn't send it yet. But I love the history book.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:50:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Yes those Evie
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:50:24 PM EDT] Join Dennis (Dennis@owirc-1hdn51.ma.comcast.net) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:50:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Rehi Dennis
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:50:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Welcome back Dennis
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:50:42 PM EDT] <Dennis> Computer locked up. Blah.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:50:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> WB Dennis
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:50:57 PM EDT] <KK> If the glass can be removed from anything electrical, then yes. The little flat drip saucers would also be ok. But you'd want to but them into an open-topped container so that they do't jump around and break.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:51:26 PM EDT] <KK> Great, Laurna. More to come.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:51:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> More...
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:51:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Nice... 🙂
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:51:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Cool...
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:52:15 PM EDT] <KK> Evie, do you still do SCA garb for you and hubby?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:52:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I thought you aready emptied your library. Surrly you need to keep some books.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:52:21 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:53:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> History of what, Laurna?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:53:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Costumes
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:53:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Lovely
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:53:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I so love clothing, must be a fabric fadish.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:53:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nothing wrong with that
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:54:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Clothes are fun.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:54:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Or can be, at their best.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:54:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> There is a silk vendor at Costum college this weekend and my sister said I would have bought him out if I were there. Good thing I didn't go, I guess.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:54:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes. That is, I haven't had a chance to go to an event in a while, but I do plan to next time there is one nearby. DH goes more often than I do.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:54:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Ooh!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:55:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Silk can be a challenge, though
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:55:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I love silk. We should all go to Your SCA event, Evie. that would be fun
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:55:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Fortunately 1:6 and 1:12 scale people only require a quarter yard of fabric or less, so they dress much better than I do. 😄
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:56:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hmm, how do I dress as a medieval seaman?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:56:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Currently I only have one summer weight SCA outfit, one winter weight, and one that is in-between.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:56:33 PM EDT] <KK> back
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:56:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'll see if I can find some pics, Jerusha, but it would help if you define a time period and location.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:57:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Since "medieval" covers centuries, during which time fashions changed a lot.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:58:02 PM EDT] <KK> I have 1 summer-weight one. Bee will remember tht I wore it when a bunch of us went to a Ren Faire up in PA. It was Susan's last outing with us.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:58:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I would probably look at Norse costumes, though, assuming it's for Darcy
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:58:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I'm thinking of the time of GotP, but Kelsonian Gwynedd does not always align with our history
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:58:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And fashions would vary depending on place, even in the same time period.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:58:31 PM EDT] <KK> Dreww is tartan, and I have a tan waistcoat that I wore over it.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:59:03 PM EDT] <KK> Dress
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:59:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yeah, fashions tend to be just a tad later as described, but I can go with an 1100s to 1300s window and see what mariners from Scandinavia were wearing at the time.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:59:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> wonderful, Evie
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:59:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Vikings?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [7:59:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Though probably not life jackets!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:00:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Nice KK
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:00:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Ooh, found this! http://www.larsdatter.com/sailors.htm
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:00:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Probably Norse influences
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:00:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Looks like lots of links to explore there.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:01:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That would be a little bit post-Viking age, Bee
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:01:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I wonder if those with stripes were impressed sailors
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:01:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Speaking of derrieres
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:01:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Though in a sense not incorrect. The Normans were descended from Vikings, after all.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:02:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Although I guess sailing would train a lot of muscles.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:02:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, they were
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:02:24 PM EDT] <KK> I had a productive day yesterday. Dropped off a big box of Christmas decorations for a friend who's a serious Christmas addict, then went over to Grand Home Furnishing and bought a much-needed new mattress. The old one had been giving me a backache most mornings, for the past several months. It was more than 10 years old, so it was time.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:02:42 PM EDT] <KK> But boy, ave they gotten expensive in a decade plus.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:02:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sounds good, KK
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:02:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I need a new mattress too, for the same reason.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:02:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Has it already been delivered?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:03:15 PM EDT] <KK> Nope, coming on August 11. But at least the delivery is free.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:03:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Mine is still relatively new (5 yrs).
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:03:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> On the birthday of Shiral's mom and mine.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:03:59 PM EDT] <KK> August 11?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:04:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Birthday mattress?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:04:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yes ma'am
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:04:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> I could have emailed myself a photo faster than I can download one.,
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:04:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/RDOV6rDV/image.png
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:04:17 PM EDT] <KK> Cool.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:04:29 PM EDT] <Laurna> Columcil, Darcy and Aliset
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:04:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Well done!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:04:52 PM EDT] <KK> Looking good!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:04:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Very nice!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:05:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> A new bed would be awesome. Good for you KK
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:06:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Does Daphne get in bed with you?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:06:18 PM EDT] <KK> Of course.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:06:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I wake up incapussitated more often than not.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:06:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> So she'll have to snoopervise the new mattress.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:07:05 PM EDT] <KK> Sometime she tends to pounce, but that's being a cat. Usually she sleeps down toward my feet, and gets on my chest first thing in the morning, to wake me up and snuggle.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:07:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Although probably better to keep her out from underfoot when the mattress is delivered.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:07:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Aw!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:07:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Sweet baby kitty.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:08:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi used to lie by my feet or knees if she was allowed in the room while Luke was alive (I tended to keep them both out because Luke would wake me up throughout the night), but now she wants to lie directly on my hip if I'm side sleeping, or on my chest if I'm on my back.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:08:25 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, yes. She'll probably be confined to the hall bath until the old mattress is out and the new one placed.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:09:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> One of my friends from another fandom just adopted a little buff tabby catten; Bonnie is about seven months old, so not really a kitten anymore but not yet a grown kitty either.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:09:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi also wants to hold my spot and warm it up while I'm brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:10:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Thoughtful kitty
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:10:28 PM EDT] <Dennis> Missy generally shows up after we've gotten into bed, and them climbs on my side.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:11:20 PM EDT] <KK> They all have their little going to bed rituals, just as we do.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:11:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys follows me into the bathroom when I brush my teeth before bed, because I put Vaseline on my lips at bedtime (staves off chapping), and she has to get some too. Which, given that hairball remedy is basically flavored Vaseline, I don't see the harm in giving her a bit as part of our bedtime routine.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:11:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi lets me know if I'm not going to bed at the right time, and she leads me to it as if I'm too dumb to know my own bedtime. 😄
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:12:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I do not turn around three times...
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:12:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> 😄
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:12:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I might turn over a time or two, though. 😝
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:13:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm a rotisserie sleeper.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:14:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Got to be warmed on all sides, Bee? 😉
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:14:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> got to avoid cramps
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:14:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hopefully no basting!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:15:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> oh dear. LOL
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:15:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I'm a side sleeper, but I may go from one side to the other once or twice before I settle down. Once I'm actually asleep, I'm pretty much done moving except for breathing.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:16:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Please do not baste the Bee, not even with a honey glaze.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:16:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> '=D
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:16:50 PM EDT] <KK> I fall asleep best on my right side, end up on my back. Not sure what happens in between, because I'm asleep.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:17:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I usually start on my right side, but have to turn to my left sometime in the middle of the night. And when I wake up, I'm usually on my back.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:18:05 PM EDT] * bynw sleeps all over the place
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:18:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Were you facing Scott when you were on your right side, KK?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:18:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I like my left side unless the bursitis in that hip is being a jerk. May be a holdover from when I got my right cartilage piercing, because sleeping on that side was a bit owie for a while and by the time it healed, the habit was formed.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:18:19 PM EDT] <KK> No.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:18:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm normally a side sleeper, but my hips have started aching
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:18:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I wake up with my hip hurting when I sleep on that side.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:19:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Mine do too sometimes, but not every night, which makes me wonder what it is that makes my hips hurt some nights but not others.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:19:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Do you sleep with a pillow between your knees, Nezz? May help the hips, and also tends to help the lower back.
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:19:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I do. I can't stand not having the pillow between my knees
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:19:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Bynw, DID you just post an important thing on the forum and did not tell us?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:20:17 PM EDT] <bynw> we are in the middle of chat Laurna
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:20:19 PM EDT] <bynw> but yes
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:20:28 PM EDT] <bynw> my wedding in on October 15th
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:20:34 PM EDT] <KK> What you told us last week?
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:20:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Woo hoo
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:20:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> 😄
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:20:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> congratulations!
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:20:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Congratulations
[Sunday, July 31, 2022] [8:20:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Congrats!

"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.)
