[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:04:44 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:04:47 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI KK!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:04:57 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:05:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:05:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I hope you enjoyed your dinner with friend lastweek, KK.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:05:40 PM EDT] <bynw> all the pictures are in: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cZnL7UthtuqtgxgY6
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:06:12 PM EDT] <KK> I did. We made Tiramisu from scratch--well, with purchased lady fingers--and it was excellent!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:06:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yum!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:06:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi all
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:07:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> hey KK
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:07:20 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Nezz
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:08:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've loaded up on candy for halloween, but I'm prepared to eat it all myself if nobody comes, as they never have in the15 years I've been her.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:08:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> here
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:08:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yeah, I always buy candy that I like for the same reason
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:09:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> This year it's Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:09:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What are you beingt his Halloween, Evie?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:09:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK. HI everyone. Great pictures bynw
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:09:39 PM EDT] <KK> I bought candy--had lots of kids last year--but I always buy something I like, in case there are leftovers, which there weren't, last year.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:09:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Probably a Ravenclaw student or alum. I didn't make anything this year, but I can put that together with stuff in my closet.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:10:05 PM EDT] <KK> Great pics, Bynw! It looks like it was a magical day. Love the white roses!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:10:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello everyone
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:10:36 PM EDT] <KK> I don't do a costume for myself.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:10:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> A beautiful start to a wonderful life together
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:10:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:11:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I thought about being Rowena Ravenclaw using my robes I made for my Servants of Saint Camber costume, but I'm not sure how to make that recognizably Ravenclaw.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:11:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I like to make costumes instead of buying one.   One year I was a jack-o-lantern.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:11:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm having a very low-impact Halloween. Haven't even bought a pumpkin
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:11:51 PM EDT] * bynw goes trick or treating at Evies to get some Reeses
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:11:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> We're too busy with the move to do much by way of Halloween
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:11:55 PM EDT] <KK> Do you get trick or treaters in a condo?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:12:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> yes, there are several young families in my neighborhood.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:12:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> "If Illan has a younger brother, that would be his heir apparent until he has a son." An heir apparent is the heir who can only fail to inherit due to his own death. Since this younger brother can be displaced by an event elsewhere (a birth up the tree), he's not the heir apparent. The term is "heir presumptive": heir at this instant, but some other event could prevent it.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:12:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I keep mine in the freezer, Bynw.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:12:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> In 2019, they cleaned me out of candy
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:13:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> @TM thanks for the clarification
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:13:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> We don't get many trick or treaters anymore. So many if thew churches and businesses do trunk or treat events and most seem to go there
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:13:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Yeah, lot of the kids in my neighborhood do the trunk-or-treat instead.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:13:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I bought my place because I can step outside my front door and BE outside.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:13:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> As for marriage and inheritance: our world's UK has the Royal Marriages Act. There might be some law barring the issue of any woman who marries a foreign sovereign from the throne. Or it could have been part of the marriage contract / treaty for this particular case.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:14:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Bee, KK, Nezz, Shiral, TM, and all.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:14:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> There's a movement o make Halloween happen on the last Saturday in October, so the kids won't haveschool thenext day.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:14:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DR. So the Pod Child is tying the knot?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:15:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> A Pod Child would tie the stem, no?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:15:26 PM EDT] <KK> What?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:15:28 PM EDT] <bynw> Bee there is at least one town that has made that law now
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:15:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> For those just tuning in, the Pod-Child and her partner were handfasted last night with me officiating. They plan to do the legal wedding nex year.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:15:51 PM EDT] <KK> Last Saturday would be good.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:15:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Cool!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:16:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Around here kids have been trick-or-treating all weekend.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:16:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Pics from last night. [redacted for privacy]
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:16:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:16:08 PM EDT] <bynw> but Iowa is a weird place, most trick or treating is done the day before Halloween so it's tonight in most communities
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:16:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> The saturday would also be a good idea since it wouldn't be a school night as it is this year
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:16:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> hi Laurna
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:16:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well yes, although I always enjoyed the School Costume Parade
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:16:25 PM EDT] <KK> Wow, DR. Congrats to them! May all be well.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:16:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Wonderful DR
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:16:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Congrats to the happy couple!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:17:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Congratulations to them--May the marriage be long and happy!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:17:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We have Memorial Day on Monday, thanksgiving on Thursday ....
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:18:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Lots of lovely wedding news on the forum
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:18:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Congrats to the pod-child and her dearly beloved, DR.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:19:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Thank you all!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:19:42 PM EDT] <KK> Bright blessings on both of them, DR.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:19:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Thank you!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:23:06 PM EDT] <KK> So, what's everyone been up to?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:23:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I voted Thursday.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:23:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Packing boxes and packing more boxes, and measuring furniture to see if it will fit in certain rooms
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:23:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I've recreated Duncan in Sims Freeplay since I needed someone to complete a spellcaster's quest. 😄
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:23:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> It started misting between the walk through and the actual ceremony, so by the end, we were all a bit damp. They set up a live stream so that friends from far away could watch, and we had to station an umbrella over the laptop.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:23:48 PM EDT] <KK> Where are you moving to?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:24:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> About a mile west from where I am right now (Orem, Utah), but the house is nicer and twice as big.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:24:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm going to have a kitchen table and an attached garage!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:24:31 PM EDT] <KK> Buying or renting?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:24:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> buying
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:24:45 PM EDT] <KK> Nice!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:24:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Sounds like a step in the right direction, Nezz!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:24:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Nice Nezz
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:24:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> cool!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:25:02 PM EDT] * bynw has been enjoying 2 weeks of marriage, working on another Deryni game idea, and the usual stuff of life
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:25:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yay new nicer house, but boo moving. The process of moving is always a pain in the patoot.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:25:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I have been trying to break a Terbuchet in a story line
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:25:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Mickey has just come to visit.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:26:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Glad he is still stopping by to see you, Bee
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:26:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Mickey. Carys is snoozing in my desk chair.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:26:24 PM EDT] <KK> I'm still unpacking and culling, though moved out of old house more than a year ago.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:26:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup packing and moving are no fun. But it IS kind of fun to figure out where you'll put everything once you're in the new place
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:26:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> that is the way to do it KK. NO stress
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:26:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> He seems very interested in my pocketbook.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello Jerusha.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi @Jerusha2 !
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Maybe he wants to buy himself some cat treats
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> /ME passes out Halloween candy to everyone
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Congrats to your daughter and her husband, DR
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri and I napped for about half an hour before Chat
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:40 PM EDT] <KK> Unless you're seriously downsizing, as I did, in which case you <know> there'll be lots of stuff to get rid of. Luckily, I've been able to sell a lot of stuff.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:27:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Not husband yet, but next year he will be, and thank you!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:28:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> We're upsizing for sure, but not into something insane (considering the amount of stuff we had)
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:28:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not sure what the right word was for a handfasted couple
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:28:33 PM EDT] <KK> Partner?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:28:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Fiancé works.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:28:40 PM EDT] <KK> Beloved?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:28:46 PM EDT] <bynw> for the late comers: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cZnL7UthtuqtgxgY6
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:28:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I like Beloved. 🙂
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:28:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> betrothed?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:28:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Fasthands?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:29:06 PM EDT] <KK> Committed?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:29:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> um Fast hands kind of has a different conitation, Shiral
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:29:20 PM EDT] <KK> Betrothed works.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:29:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> But partner is the term I usually use when I speak of him by other than his name.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:29:51 PM EDT] <KK> Fastees?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:29:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> heh
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:30:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Great wedding pix, Bynw
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:30:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I rather like Betrothal, too
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:30:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Mickey just left.  I'm not paying him enough attention.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:31:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> Since I'm a pedantic snot and like keeping original rules from a stolen, er, adopted word: fiancé is masculine in French, fiancée is feminine. For example, I liked the mystery where the hard-boiled detective sees a good-looking blond in the doorway; the detective was a woman and the client was indeed an homme fatal.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:32:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Well, he does have fast hands. He was walking my granddog when another dog tried to attack her. He grabbed Audaline and lifted her above his head (and got a nasty bite on his arm from the other dog but Audi was safe which was all he cared about because he's a good'un like that).
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:32:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've heard gay couples use "partners."  The first time, I thought he meant a business partner.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:32:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Wow DR. good for Audaline
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:32:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear. I hope the attacking dog had its shots
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:33:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> It had, but Win (partner) has had to do the rabies prophylaxis anyway, ow.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:33:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> ooch
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:33:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Eek
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:34:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> not fun
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:34:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I don't think they do it through the stomach anymore
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:34:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> No fun but better than having radies
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:34:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> His name is Winand but he goes by Win.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:34:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That's a relief
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:34:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Much better than catching rabies, yes.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:35:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Well, that killed the conversation!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:35:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Indeed.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:35:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Rabies kills!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:35:46 PM EDT] <KK> I'd not herd of an alternative way to administer the rabies shot.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:35:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is rabies a big problem among wildlife where you folks live?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:35:57 PM EDT] <KK> heard
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:36:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Milo, the little gray kitten, is staying with my family since we named him.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:36:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I don't know that it's a big problem here, but it's a definite possibility
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:36:39 PM EDT] <KK> Not so much here, but it does happen. Sadly, once one has developed symptoms, it's usually too late.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:36:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That's an insanely cute kitty
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:36:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> So cute
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:36:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Bats and raccoons can be carriers.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:37:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Apparently the rabies shot has not been administered in the stomach since the 1980s
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:37:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I had a friend who got bitten by a raccoon and had to get treatment too
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:37:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> He has two speeds: PLAY WITH ALL THE THINGS and out like a light.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:37:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> That is a kitten for you
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:38:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yup
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:38:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Kind of like an on/off switch
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:38:06 PM EDT] <KK> In Ireland, we used to get bats flying around in the great hall, when they'd migrated in through an open door or window in the summer. We'd just open more windows, turn off most of the lights, and hoosh them out the windows.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:38:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:38:29 PM EDT] <KK> Wher is the shot administered instead?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:38:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> At the doctor's clinic, KK 😉
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:38:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Deltoid muscle, I think
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:38:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> The current treatment for rabies (per the CDC) is just "A regimen of four 1-mL doses of HDCV or PCEC vaccines ... administered intramuscularly.... For adults, the vaccination should always be administered intramuscularly in the deltoid area (arm). For children, the anterolateral aspect of the thigh is also acceptable. The gluteal area should never be used for rabies vaccine injections because observations suggest administration
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:38:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> in this area results in lower neutralizing antibody titers.".
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:39:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Milo is particularly fond of sleeping on my stepdad after he has tired himself out.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:39:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh, that's not so bad
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:39:38 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds far less unpleasant than getting it in the stomach.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:39:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Much better than 200 shots in the abdomen
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:39:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Your stepdad or the cat is tired out?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:39:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys says hi.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:40:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Carys!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:40:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi, Carys!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:40:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Pets for carys
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:40:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yes. 🤣
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:40:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> My mom had to have the abdominal shots as a child
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:40:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> I've heard the rabies shots are more or less not much of a deal now. CDC's listing of side effects is pretty much the standard ones.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:40:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ouch!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:40:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Carys looks a bit misanthropic, there. As if she'd just been awakened from a nap!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:40:58 PM EDT] <KK> Still, ouch!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:41:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes but far better than rabies
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:41:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> bynw, can you postthe pictures here for us not on eris?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:41:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> kitten pics
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:41:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> She woke up and came over to me. She wants me to put down the phone and pet her.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:42:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A reasonable request
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:43:03 PM EDT] <bynw> i've been posting the link on IRC Bee. https://photos.app.goo.gl/cZnL7UthtuqtgxgY6
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:43:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Got it, but I meant the kittens' pics.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:45:03 PM EDT] <bynw> oh the pics others are posting
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:45:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Those were some steep steps to get up into the tower. Bynw

[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:46:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> TY, bynw.  Milo, I presume
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:46:59 PM EDT] <KK> These are whose kittens?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:47:15 PM EDT] <bynw> the steps from the 2nd floor of the tower to the 3rd floor that is open to sky is almost a ladder
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:47:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> and Carys.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:47:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not to be done in a long dress!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:47:59 PM EDT] <bynw> those were picks DR posted of kitties
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:48:03 PM EDT] <KK> No. She chose wisely.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:48:19 PM EDT] <bynw> yeah a long dress wouldnt work nor would slippery shoes

[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:49:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Glad it didn't rain
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:50:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Purple is traditional for second marriages.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:50:36 PM EDT] <bynw> the day was perfect, a little windy at the top of the tower but otherwise perfect. especially with the fall colors on the trees
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:52:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> did you feel like a knight sweeping your damsel away from the tower?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:52:57 PM EDT] <KK> Nice. Was that Kelly's father, and maybe her sister in the immediate party?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:53:28 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:56:34 PM EDT] <KK> Back.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:56:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> It was so boring while you were gone. 🙂
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:57:03 PM EDT] <bynw> the wedding party was just 5 of us. Our officiant Gary. Kelly and myself. And our two witnesses. Kelly's little sister Anita and a old friend of mine from work Mark.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:57:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Gotten quiet all of a sudden
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:57:32 PM EDT] <bynw> both of Kelly's parents are deceased just like me
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:57:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> It is a quiet day here. the dogs are sleeping at my feet. they were up last night with two kids parties going on on either side of my house.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:58:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> You're deceased, bynw?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:58:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> !
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:58:16 PM EDT] <bynw> lol
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:58:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL, I read it that way too, Bee! 😄
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:58:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Heh, that's what I heard, Bee
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:58:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Let us hope not just like You
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:58:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Thanks, Bee; I didn't want to ask that!\

[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:58:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> You are a very lively ghost bynw
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:58:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> Wait, it means that they're just as alive as bynw is?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [7:58:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> that might work
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:00:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> "There being no further business, this does close the court of ..."?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:01:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I'm still here. just sipping tea
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:01:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I see someone is in the SCA. 😄
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:01:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm still here
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:01:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> and trying to not eat halloween candy
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:02:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <TM> Good gentle, what would give you that impression?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:02:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Focus on the tea, Laurna.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:02:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> yes Jerusha
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:02:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Are you in Meridies, @TM , or is that universal throughout the Kingdoms?
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:02:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Think non-chocolate thoughts. And pass the candy to me
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:03:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> /passing bowl of gooddies
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:03:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> gobble, gobble, gobble....
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:03:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The minute I have to consciously think Non-Chocolate thoughts, the battle is kind of over. 😉
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:03:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:04:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The only solution is not to have any in the house
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:04:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> NO CHOCOLATE! Gasp!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:04:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Heresy!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:04:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I'd die!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:05:26 PM EDT] <KK> Well, I'm going to check out now; don't know about the rest of you. I have an 0800 appointment in the AM with a Mohs surgeon to remove a small skin cancer above my upper lip; hopefully, the biopsy will have removed all or most of it last month, so he won't have to cut me too much. Do please say a prayer for me and the surgeon, for a successful outcome. Not
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:05:37 PM EDT] <KK> Not looking forward to it, but it has to be done.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:05:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> So I really don't know how that hexagonal tower of Toblerone I got on my last Costco run ended up in my pantry.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:05:49 PM EDT] <bynw> definately prayers for KK
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:05:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Ack! Best of luck and good wishes to you and the doctors!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:05:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Will pray, KK
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:05:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Thinking positive thoughts, KK
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:05:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I went to costco this morning. and thousands of people there. but we were walking past the huge Island of chocoholic candies. and this guy was throwing a fit because all the Large candy bars were gone.
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:05:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Certainly, KK!
[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:06:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Best wishes with the procedure

[Sunday, October 30, 2022] [8:07:06 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.

"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.)
