[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:21 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Laurna. I sent you a couple of messages earlier.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> DFK is writing to get me in deep Trouble
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:35 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo KK, how's things?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:40 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I can follow written French better than spoken
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hello, KK!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:42 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:48 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Not all by myself. Have you seen what bynw wroe?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I can handle what you throw at me, at least that little bit, DFK.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:03:57 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:04:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hey KK. Good Sunday to you
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:04:11 PM EST] <KK> What did bynw write?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:04:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> He is trying to adbuct my character
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:04:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm sure Bynw is up to no good again. 😄
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:04:38 PM EST] <KK> Ah. Sneaky fellow!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:04:47 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> But even spoken, I can still follow well enough to get Eddie Izzard's French tangents.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:04:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Of course he is. We've already established that he's an 👽
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:04:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I told him someone might die first.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:05:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Right EVIE
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:05:41 PM EST] <[chris]> hi KK
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:05:59 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> HE is plotting again. and involving others
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:06:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> dang plotter...

[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:06:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Printer plotters are good things. Story plotters are hard on characters
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:06:42 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Bee
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:06:46 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Bee. How are thinks in Boston?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:06:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello Bee
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:06:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> hi Bee
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:06:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi everyone!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:07:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I have been playing SIms 4 with a few Deryni characters, KK. So far I have built Duncan a church and found him a cassock earlier today, Kelson somehow turned a butler into the Princess Royal and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it, and the first thing Alaric and Richenda did upon moving to their new home was go make out in a "Woohoo bush," and they ended up having twins. It's been a riot. LOL!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:07:07 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Bynw is good at plotting.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:07:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi all
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:07:23 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:07:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:07:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:07:41 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Shiral . Have you dried out yet?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:07:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Still a little damp, but a week of sunshine has helped
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:08:00 PM EST] <The_Bee> better than yesterday.  My computer went dark on me.  fortunately, i got it fixed with a phone call.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:08:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That's good
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:08:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> We have a new chatter with us today. Say hello to Momento from Canada
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:08:31 PM EST] <KK> Sounds like interesting times.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:08:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Just in time for it to stop raining, my new waterproof boots arrive on Wednesday
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:08:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Today is my DS's birthday, but we're having dinner with him tomorrow since he is swamped with work and school stuff.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:08:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Good timing Shiral
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:08:59 PM EST] <KK> Hello, Memento!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:09:08 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> It started out fairly benign but that is changing
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:09:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It had been so many years, I hadn't even realized I needed some until it got all wet
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:09:15 PM EST] <Memento> Hello!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:09:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello Memento
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:09:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Momento! Welcome to chat
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:09:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Elle est Quebecois, so some of us have been practicing our very rusty French.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:09:37 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Jerusha will probably be along in a bit, from Ontario, so Memento doesn't have to be the lone Canadian.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:09:43 PM EST] <KK> Ah, bien!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:09:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> And it is driving me mad that I don't know how to type accent marks. 😄
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:09:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> does Jerusha speak French?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:10:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I don't know
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:10:07 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I don't know.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:10:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I took three years of French in High School.....but that was a while ago!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:10:19 PM EST] <Memento> Laurna probably not
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:10:35 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Being in Ontario rather than Québec, maybe but maybe not
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:10:46 PM EST] <Memento> Quebec is the only french province, and unless they live reqlly close to the border..
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:10:49 PM EST] <KK> Three years in HS, and qualified in French for m Master's requirement.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:11:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> My last French class would have been around...1987, maybe?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:11:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But my father's side of the family was from Quebec.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:11:18 PM EST] <Memento> My sister is in ontario.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:11:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> That is nice Shiral
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:11:23 PM EST] <The_Bee> How much can you remember, KK?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:11:30 PM EST] <Memento> Shiral, thats nice:)
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:11:47 PM EST] <KK> I read it pretty well, and speak it well enough to get by.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:12:11 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Trouble with languages is that if you don't use them regularly they tend to slip away.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:12:18 PM EST] <KK> It was useful on European jaunts when we lived in Ireland.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:12:19 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> True
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:12:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I have a friend from AL who is moving back here from Canada in a few weeks, I think.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:12:37 PM EST] <KK> Where in Canada?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:12:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> If I absolutely HAD to make myself understood in French, I would probably be able to do so.... but I'd sure test the patience of whatever French speaking person I was atttempting to talk to.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:12:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> They are tired of the cold
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:12:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Ontario, I think?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:13:04 PM EST] <KK> I tend to throw in a German word if I can remember tht but not the French.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:13:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And if you're like me, silly enough to learn as many as I can cram into my head, you jumble them up sometimes too.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:13:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> :You know German too, KK?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:13:40 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I do that with Spanish, KK. Never studied German.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:13:42 PM EST] <KK> Yes, but not as well as French. Had 2 years in college.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:13:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I was able to make myself understood speaking French in the shops we visited when I was on the Rhine river cruise back in 2017. But mostly I was just asking how much things cost, etc.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:13:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> WOW
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:14:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Took a year of German in college. The grammar absolutely slaughtered me in the second semester
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:14:07 PM EST] <Memento> Shiral, i proposed french training session, if you ever wish for hehe
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:14:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> My younger sister recently moved from Ontario to Quebec.  It's closer to Vermont, where our other siblings live.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:14:58 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Where I get in trouble is the cognates that even sound alike, such as et/y and où/o.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:15:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I have a surname that is the bane of most Americans. I always have to spell it for them. Even though it's one syllable and just five letters
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:15:20 PM EST] <Memento> Quebec is very bilingual
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:15:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> If I can get accent marks figured out on a keyboard, I might take you up on the offer, Memento. I used to have a phone keyboard that would let me press and hold a letter to find the version with the right accent mark, but I don't have that keyboard anymore and don't remember which one it was.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:16:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I can pronounce okay, But remembering correct vocabulary when stressed is difficult
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:16:01 PM EST] <Memento> Change your keyboard to fr/en canadian
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:16:07 PM EST] <The_Bee> Does you computer have a character map, Evie?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:16:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> @Shiral Well, yeah, when your surname is Aeiou.... 😉
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:16:31 PM EST] <KK> lol
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:16:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> LO
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:16:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:16:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> @the Bee If it does, I need a map to find it. 😄
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:16:43 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> People screw up my surname too, but mostly they just skip doubling the r, since with a single R, it's just a word, not a proper name, lol.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:17:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> MS word has symbols and accent marks that can be inserted, but I always do that the wrong way, first
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:17:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> People screw mine up too. Instead of "Evie the Verbose," I get "Evie the Talkative" a lot. 😄
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:17:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> 😄
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:18:11 PM EST] <KK> There is a difference.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:18:12 PM EST] <The_Bee> Evie, Try the Search function.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:18:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> The search function in what?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:19:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> True, KK, though the person who saddled me with this nickname was making a joke about how long my posts were. In chat, that translates to how long my paragraphs get. 😄
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:19:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> On my computer, the search icon is a magnifying glass
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:21:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, but different programs let you Search for different things. In Discord (which I'm currently using), going to Search would let me find key words that have been used in chat in the past, but where are you suggesting I use the Search feature to find accent marks?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:21:24 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I've been using OpenBoard on my phone.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:21:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> I have Windows 10
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:21:47 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Looked up verbose just for fun, "using more words than are needed.."
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:21:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Oh, OK, so you mean Windows Search. I'll check that.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:22:10 PM EST] <The_Bee> No, but i findletteers with accents marks in the character maps.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:22:14 PM EST] <KK> Oh, like Mozart and too many notes?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:22:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Heh
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:22:28 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Which will allow you to switch languages, which is how I've gotten the accent marks to pop up.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:23:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> OK. But if Discord has a character maps feature like Word does or Google Docs, I haven't found it yet. So I would need to have something open in a different window I could copy and paste from.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:24:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL, yes, like Mozart. I'm the Mozart of words. 😉
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:24:19 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Sounds impressive
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:24:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> (I could ␝wish␝ I were the Mozart of words!)
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:24:37 PM EST] <The_Bee> Who's your Scarlatti?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:24:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Maybe, but remember, Mozart died at 35!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:24:57 PM EST] <KK> When I'm using a character name that has accent marks, like Se, I put it into my dictionary, so that the computer autocorrects when I just type the bare name.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:24:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Salieri?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:25:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Then I'd be safe, having past 35 already, aside from in my mind.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:25:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Or else you'd keel over. =o)
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:25:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> Oh, right, Salieri!  thanks for the correction
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:25:38 PM EST] <KK> I loved the film of Amadeus.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:25:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Evie usually edits my stuff to have less adjectives or reduntant words. So I can not accuse her of being Verbose in that way.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:25:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, that's what I do too when I'm writing, KK. My difficulty is when I'm in a chatroom like this one, I don't know how to type accents while chatting in real time on Discord.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:26:24 PM EST] <KK> True. I have no idea where to look, doing this.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:26:30 PM EST] <The_Bee> The last movie a sw in a theater was that one we saw at our meeting.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:26:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> ñø pröble´m
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:26:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, I can do sparse writing, it's just not my default mode. But then again I don't tend to use fifty zillion adjectives when one or two will suffice either. LOL!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:26:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:26:52 PM EST] <KK> Nezz, how'd you do that?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:27:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> HOW, NEZZ!!!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:27:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> You can hit up alt-codes.net to copy-paste individual characters into chat/Discord.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:27:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm on a mac, it makes it easy to do dicriticals
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:27:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That's the United Nations in one small quote!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:27:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> OK. I just need to learn how to do that on a PC. Or, as DR says, copy/paste from elsewhere.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:27:54 PM EST] <KK> Ah.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:27:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> but in the past, I just knew a lot of the alt key-codes
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:28:17 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> ÖpēñBøærd will do it too.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:28:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> nice
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:28:46 PM EST] <KK> You'll have noticed that in the early books, there were rarely accent marks. Because I was writing on a typewriter, and had to insert those by hand.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:29:07 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Phone keyboard finally doing something easier than physical keyboard, lol.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:30:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> In my imagine I have a magic computer in which F* is the Fate Key.  You can Control Fate, Alter Fate, Shift Fate, or Delete Fate.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:30:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> LOL
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:30:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yeah, that would be a pain. My first college research papers were typed on my dad's old Underwood typewriter, and we had to use footnotes instead of endnotes. I was ridiculously happy to get an electronic typewriter that would calculate the amount of footer space needed for me! And then personal computers came along, but by that time all of my classes allowed end notes.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:30:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> F8, I meant.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:31:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> At that point I'd question how much I really needed the degree.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:31:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It was an English major, so I had papers to turn in for EVERY class.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:31:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Put them in by hand, KK? that is work
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:31:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝snaps fingers and supplies tea, sandwiches and cookies␝
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:32:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Can we get some cough syrup there as well, Shiral?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:32:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝adds cough syrup for Nezz␝
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:32:27 PM EST] <KK> There were a few that you could make by manually backspacing and striking over.\
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:32:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Those would also have been back when cut and paste meant literally cutting and pasting your manuscript to get paragraphs into the correct order, then retyping as needed.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:32:38 PM EST] * The_Bee adds mulled cider, with brandy on the side for those who want it.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:32:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> ␝chugs down 12 oz of cough syrup␝
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:33:11 PM EST] <KK> Ow, Nezz. Got a cold and cough?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:33:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Wow, drank that like it was fine Fianna wine!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:33:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> Memento, are you a fan of Louise Penny's novels?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:33:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Been coughing since Thursday morning. My throat hurts so bad by now that I can hardly speak, and when I do speak, I'm a baritone.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:33:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> My grandfather once offered me a sip of his Scotch to cure my cough. It worked great--I never dared to cough in his presence again! 😅
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:34:13 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> 12 oz is a lot in one chug a lug
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:34:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Covid test this morning was negative, so there is that
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:34:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> @Nezz You might want to get tested for strep. My daughter had a cough that affected her similarly recently, and that's what she had.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:34:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> 12 oz of anything is pretty determined drinking
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:34:53 PM EST] <KK> I remember literal cutting and pasting before retyping. Not having to retype is one of the best things about word processing.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:34:55 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> ␝makes a hot toddy with honey, lemon, rum, and hot water with a cinnamon stick to stir it and hands it to Nezz.␝
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:35:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> ␝guzzle␝
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:35:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, indeed. It speeds EVERYTHING up.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:35:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Oh Nezz, So sorry you have the cough bug but so glad it is not the C crud
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:35:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Wordprocessing that is. Not cough syrup
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:35:58 PM EST] <KK> lol, Evie.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:36:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Yeah. I've been taking my zinc and vitamin C for a few days, so hopefuly tomorrow will show iimprovement.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:36:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Cutting and pasting, Literally sounds like so much fun. Not
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:36:39 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Whereas my nearly three years of luck ran out last week and I am convalescing from the COVID-19 plague. Fortunately mostly been a sinus infection from hell but still unfun.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:36:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yikes. Sorry DR
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:37:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> My boss was out with it last week.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:37:03 PM EST] <KK> There used to be a cough lozenge that had a pocket of zinc-laced liquid in the center, and it was great for averting a cold. So naturally, they stopped making it.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:37:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> zinc for colds?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:37:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> OH DR you did not tell us. Hope you get over that fast
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:37:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Cold-eeze, wasn't it?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:37:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Sorry DR, that sucks
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:37:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, zinc can help shorten the duration of colds and other respiratory crud, Bee
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:37:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> DR, glad you're on the mend
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:37:46 PM EST] <KK> Yes, Nezz!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:37:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> There's a pill called Zicam that's very good for shortening colds, too
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:38:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> You can still get Zinc lozenges for that. Maybe not Cold-eeze brand, but even Walmart makes a generic version.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:38:25 PM EST] <KK> Never had much luck with Zicam.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:38:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Anything with zinc will help, it seems. I just usually go for the generic 'cause it's cheaper.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:38:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> Several of my relatives got covid. in December.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:38:33 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I tested positive late last Sunday and have just been isolating and hydrating and getting very bored, ROFL
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:38:53 PM EST] <KK> And straight zinc lozenves never worked for me the way Cold-eeze did.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:39:05 PM EST] <[chris]> zicam worked wonders the last time i had a cold
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:39:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> If you take it as soon as you suspect you have a cold, it works better. But then you also have to be very much in anticipation mode
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:39:46 PM EST] <KK> Yes, it averted many an incipient cold for me, back in the day.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:39:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yeah, I take it the minute I get home if I am starting to show any signs of sniffles.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:40:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But yes, it's maddening when products you count on disappear. Whatever they might be for
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:40:16 PM EST] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:40:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Sometimes I think companies say "Oh, Melissa likes this. Must get rid of it right now!"
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:40:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've been lucky.  i have a perpetual sniffle, but nothing more.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:41:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm still mad that the version of Sudafed that is actually effective for me is no longer over the counter, though I understand why. Darn drug dealers and their meth labs!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:41:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Agreed Evie
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:41:42 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> It's tedious for sure.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:41:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Evie, is it the stuff you can still get from the pharmacy?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:41:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I still sign my life away at the pharmacy to get it when I need it
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi everyone!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:12 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Jerusha, HEllo
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:24 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:28 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Jerusha.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:38 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I caught up on the previous posts before announcing my presence
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> What is your temp right now?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:44 PM EST] <[chris]> hi jerusha
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> So do I, though it's so heavily restricted that I once couldn't get it because, unbeknownst to me, my mother-in-law had bought some the month before, and they connected me to her somehow, or maybe just assumed we were related because we have the same surname.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:42:56 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Memento, if you've hung on through all our nonsense, here's our other Canadian!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:43:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Rather mild, just about -3C
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:43:10 PM EST] <KK> When I get a prescription for cough syrup with codeine, I hoard it, because some coughs will only respond to that.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:43:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> MILD? you and I have a different openion of Mild
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:43:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It was -22C earlier this week. Trust me, this is mild!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:43:55 PM EST] <Memento> South ontario it must be Jerusha2
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:43:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> WOW
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:44:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> -3C doesn't sound too awful for your part of the world, but would be awful for me right now considering our heating system isn't working right now, so we're using space heaters until our replacement part to fix it comes in.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:44:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Mild is 65F and above.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:44:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nope. Northern Ontario. A little place called Tilden Lake
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:44:40 PM EST] <Memento> Never heard of, but actually it is -1 here so yeah...
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:44:42 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I'm with you, @Laurna
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:44:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That is summer!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:44:59 PM EST] <Memento> Lol almost!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:45:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝mentally reaches for her warmest blankets␝
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:45:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> No Summer is 110F
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:45:20 PM EST] <Memento> Lol shiral!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:45:23 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> It's 56 degrees where I am
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:45:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> We're currently about about -6°C here
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:45:32 PM EST] <[chris]> so 21F isn't mild.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:45:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I would die in 110F. LOL!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:45:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> About 58 F where I am
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:45:54 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Nope, summer is when we Floridians (or at least those of us with enough sense to avoid skin cancer) hide in the air conditioning.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:45:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Clear and sunny, but chilly. But I'm fine with chilly in January
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:46:02 PM EST] <Memento> I dont use F.. all i know is human body is lower then 99 normally
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:46:04 PM EST] <Memento>
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:46:07 PM EST] <KK> 110 is fatal!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:46:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> Laurna, id you mean "no, summer" or "no summer"?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:46:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> 110 is when I start calling around to search for meat lockers
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:46:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> No it is not fatal. LOOL
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:47:06 PM EST] <KK> It is for me.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:47:13 PM EST] <Memento> It is a warm winter so far.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:47:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> climate change
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:47:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I would melt and just leave a sweat puddle at 110F. That's around 43.3 C,
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:47:33 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> 71 F/22 C here. It'd be lovely if it weren't storming.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:47:46 PM EST] <KK> Warm here, so far, though they're finally forecasting some snow on Wednesday. We shall see.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:47:48 PM EST] <Memento> The_Bee: well we had in the past years very cold winter. So...
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:47:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, anywhere in the 70s is my preferred range.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:48:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Especially mid-70s.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:48:17 PM EST] <Memento> 22C is perfect temp.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:48:20 PM EST] <The_Bee> 110 centigrade would really be a problem.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:48:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I am tiered of having cold toes. Not that I don't mind my puppy slippers but they are not always lying on my feet.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:48:37 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> That would be fatal!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:48:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> 22C to 28C . If you get to 30C plus, it's too warm
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:48:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> True to that Bee
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:49:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> (110 C, that is)
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:49:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sigh...puppy slippers!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:49:21 PM EST] <Memento> Agreed Jerusha2
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:49:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, Bee, people tend not to thrive when they are above boiling temperature! 😄
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:49:30 PM EST] <KK> When I was at my dental appointment on Wednesday, I say my dentist's 2 younger Cavaliers. And she has 2 larger ones at home, for a total of four!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:49:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I have two for each foot at the moment
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:49:34 PM EST] <[chris]> so my 21F is -6C
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:49:38 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Question @Jerusha. Do you speak French?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:49:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not even a little bit
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:50:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I want to go to your dentist< KKI
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:50:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> KK
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:50:23 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Therapy puppies for the dentist-phobic!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:50:26 PM EST] <KK> She's pretty cool.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:50:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "Skip the dental floss; just pass the Cavalier"
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:50:36 PM EST] <Memento> Omg we should have that!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:50:44 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> We had a new person from Quebec and were talking about languages. Question came up
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:50:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Cavaliers are really difficult to floss with, even if they are newborn puppies.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:50:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I would be happy to hug a puppy while visiting the dentist
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:51:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL, Evie. and agreed
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:51:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Yikes Evie
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:51:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Too big and wiggly
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:51:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh! you're talking about dogs! Got it!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:51:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> They have long enough ear and tail hair. but NO
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:51:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, Cavalier spaniels, not D'Artagnan. 😄
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:51:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> There are the lovely long ear feathers...
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:51:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> the word "cavalier" doesn't automatically translate to "dog" for me. 🙂
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:51:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> It does for me
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:52:06 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I follow my alma mater on social media, and I was so envious to find that they now partner with a shelter to bring adoptable dogs to help students decompress during finals.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:52:11 PM EST] <Memento> It is a type of dog.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:52:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Sure, that's why cavailielrs at the dentists office made sense to you
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:52:17 PM EST] <Memento> Cavalier is french
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:52:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yeah, it translates to The Three Musketeers for me, but I've seen them referred to on here often enough to know what Laurna and KK are on about. 😄
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:52:39 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Why didn't they have that when I was a student? 😅
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:52:59 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Laurna breeds Cavalier spaniels.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:53:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> DR, I know! right?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:53:02 PM EST] <KK> avalier King Charles Spaniels.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:53:12 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> No, phone, not Spaniards.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:53:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> In my book, I keep going back and forth whether use the word cavalier or chevalier. So that's where my brain is about that word.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:53:30 PM EST] <Memento> Just like the queen had.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:53:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Breeding Spaniards would be a different line of work, I think
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:53:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL!!! Is your phone trying to populate dentist offices with Spaniards, DR?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:53:51 PM EST] <KK> No, the Queen had Corgis.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:53:54 PM EST] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Bcw4GFpk/image.png
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:54:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> didn't the queen have corgis?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:54:00 PM EST] <Memento> Chevalier is a knight, cavalier is someone riding a horse. Or your danse partner
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:54:09 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> The Queen had Corgis mostly
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:54:18 PM EST] <Memento> Oh my bad.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:54:20 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hopefully only Spanish dentists' offices.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:54:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Are Spaniards good at cheering up people who hate being at the dentist?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:54:52 PM EST] <Memento> Im sure huskys are the best to cheer up anyone
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:54:59 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> A spaniel might be better than a spaniard
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:55:13 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I am Inigo Montoya, you have plaque, prepare to grind.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:55:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:55:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:55:29 PM EST] <The_Bee> LOL
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:55:47 PM EST] <KK> lol, DR!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:55:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We will distract you with some amazing fencing....
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:55:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> My town has a lot of people who own huskies, even though our Alabama temperatures aren't the best for a heavy-furred breed, because the local school system's football team has a Huskies team mascot.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:56:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I might hold the puppy too tightly, under the circumstances
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:56:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My brother has a 3 month old labradoodle puppy who is so cute it should be illegal
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:56:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> If Inigo Montoya shows up at my next dental appointment, I might not be calmer, but I'll certainly be happy. Unless he's claiming that I killed his father and that I should prepare to die. 😄
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:56:54 PM EST] <KK> Awwwww
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:57:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Suddenly Discod will not let me download any pics. not fair
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:57:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And the puppy will finally be getting his Parvo shots this week, so he can be taken for actual walks in public places
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:57:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I got the puppy picture
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:57:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I got some weird error message from Discord earlier, though it might be unrelated, since I had walked away from my laptop for several minutes and came back to the error message.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:57:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> All four cuties
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:58:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> My aunt and uncle have a goldendoodle.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:58:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> It wants me to upgrade to Discord Nitro
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:58:37 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Her name is Abby, and she is more or less glued to my aunt at the hip.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:58:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Alan's puppy is named Babu, and he's a really sweet little dog
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:58:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Makes me worry Discord might blow up
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:58:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Oh good! Yes, avoid exposure to Parvo at all costs! I used to volunteer at a veterinary office in high school, and it was at the height of a parvo epidemic before the vaccine was available. That was horrific.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:58:54 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> My sweet Babboo!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:59:17 PM EST] <KK> A woman here in my new neighborhood has a goldendoodle named Reba.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:59:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Alan is VERY glad he won't have to carry the puppy around in a sling, soon!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [7:59:32 PM EST] <[chris]> Laurna, ignore that. nitro isn't required. if you are getting odd errors within discord.log out. clear browser history and log back in
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:00:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Thanks Bynw
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:01:23 PM EST] <[chris]> the monent discord goes to a forced pay structure for users or servers. i'll kick it to the curb
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:01:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Field goal?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:01:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Score
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:02:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hopefully it won't. Too many of my special interest groups use Discord chat.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:02:44 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I think they know that would be shooting themselves in the foot.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:02:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That's why I prefer to use it here too; I ALWAYS have Discord running in the background if I have any device running, and I am rarely without at least my phone nearby.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:03:07 PM EST] <[chris]> are you watching the game too Jerusha?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:03:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Yeah, me too
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:03:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Of course!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:03:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Whereas I have to make a special effort to go to IRC and would use it only for this chat, since none of my other groups use it.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:04:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> who would have thought, solitaire games would have cost money but now they play adds if you do not pay monthly. and now they play two adds in a row between games. What is the world coming to?
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:04:09 PM EST] <[chris]> evie ... well wotc/habro seems to be shooting themselves in the foot lately
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:04:34 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I owe a couple of friends kerchiefs for their dogs, but I've been on a sewing kick lately, not knitting.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:04:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It is very annoying, Laurna
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:04:43 PM EST] <KK> I'm getting hungry, folks, so I'm going to say goodnight. Have a good week, all, and stay warm and healthy!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:04:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Have a good week, KK
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Have a good week, KK and enjoy dinner
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Have a great dinner and an even greater week, kk, see ya next Sunday. 🙂
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Good Night KK, stay warm and have a good week
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And a good dinner
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> There are loads of Solitaire game variants, though, especially on phone apps, so you can easily find one that is less annoying with the ads.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Bye, KK!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:15 PM EST] <[chris]> night kk
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:20 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Happy Writing!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:27 PM EST] <[chris]> thanks for stopping by

[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:32 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Night KK. Be careful, especially if it snows and stay healthy
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not really into playing games on my phone
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:35 PM EST] <KK> Yep, next Sunday. Nighters!
[Sunday, January 22, 2023] [8:05:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Writing is good Mojo
