[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:06:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello KK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:06:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi KK

[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:07:26 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I changed mine on the entry from Rhemuth Castle.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:07:38 PM EST] Nick web11 is now known as KK.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:07:47 PM EST] <KK> Ah, there we go.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:07:49 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, KK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:07:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hello KKK!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:07:54 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi KK

[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:07:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> ooops kk
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:08:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> There's our KK as we know and love her. 🙂
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:08:18 PM EST] <KK> Yep, c'est moi.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:08:29 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Evie will be mostly absent because of an SCA meeting.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:08:39 PM EST] <The_Bee> How goes KK?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:08:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> She said to tell you "hi."
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:08:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> and how does Dephni
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:08:58 PM EST] <KK> The usual, sorting files and tossing most of them.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:09:04 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> They haven't done in person in a while and tonight was the night most could be there.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:09:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> That is hard work
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:09:15 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Funfun
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:09:48 PM EST] <KK> Daphne is sitting on the desk in front of me, but not blocking the screen. She's been a lap-limpet all afternoon, which is great!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:09:52 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I need to deal with my mail but it ain't happening tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:09:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> My sister got a foot of snow at their new home.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:10:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> That's about what we got up here
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:10:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Peeking in briefly to say hi while DH gets ready to walk out the door.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:10:29 PM EST] <KK> Yeah. I have friends in Mt/ Baldy who've gotten a aton of snow.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:10:39 PM EST] <The_Bee> Our big storm is due Mon/Tues.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:11:02 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Lap-limpets are excellent. I had one during my game but right now she's on top of a bookshelf grooming herself.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:11:12 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Holy. Cats.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:11:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Meanwhile it's been unseasonably warm here, though I'm sure that will change again next week.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:11:20 PM EST] <KK> A very strange winter this year. We got one overnight now of less than an inch, that was gone by after lunch.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:12:18 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys on bookshelf.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:12:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> My Mousie and Frankie turned 16 yesterday.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:12:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> my BIL out in his kilt. showing his heritage.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:12:46 PM EST] <KK> Wow, 16, that's good innings.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:12:48 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi everyone
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:12:53 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Happy Birthday, Mousie & Frankie!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:12:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello DFK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:13:03 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, DFK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:13:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi DFK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:13:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi DFK. Mousie and Frankie say thanks. 🙂
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:13:13 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys will be ten this year. I hope Mousie and Frankie got birthday kitty treats.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:13:17 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi DFK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:13:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That's a lot of white stuff on the ground there
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:13:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> They always do.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:13:46 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Look at tesnow, Bet his knees re cold
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:13:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> And I keep thinking i want to move up there. am I nutes.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:14:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys got, "Thank you for not biting me while I trimmed the paw-nails on all four feet" treats earlier today.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:14:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Carys is a good kittie. Potpie says "wuss."
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:14:57 PM EST] <KK> Good Carys!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:15:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> poor Carys
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:15:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Most of us like petticures.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:15:26 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys says, "Not wuss. Smart, because it gets me praise, petting, and treats."
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:15:27 PM EST] * chris is having supper
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:15:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Pie cannot deny Carys' logic.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:16:01 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> @Laurna I was thinking I might have lost you to SIMS again.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:16:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> You did loss me to the sims. sorry DFK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:16:38 PM EST] <KK> Daphne mostly uses her scratching ramp. I've not yet had to cut her claws.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:16:57 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> @Laurna, any chance of finding you again?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:17:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I realize I go unlogged from the forum and didn't even see you last message until just a bit ago. SOryy
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:17:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> My rebuilt castle that Evie sent me is nearly back to its place before the old computer died. so soon
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:17:47 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And they're special treats. She gets L-lysine supplements she likes and Greenies every day, but the salmon treats are only for special occasions. Like not biting me while I trimmed a cat-load of paw-nails. 🤣
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:18:20 PM EST] <KK> Are those dried salmon treats?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:18:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Salmon treat day.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:18:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Kitties do love those salmon treats
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:19:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:19:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo Jerusha
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:19:28 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:19:29 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:19:31 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys uses her scratching post too, but she likes to make biscuits out of my arms, and when her nails are sharp, I end up looking like someone used a cheese grater on my arm.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:19:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:19:34 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:19:54 PM EST] <chris> hi jerusha
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:19:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:19:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Cheese graters on arms are not good
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:20:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Yikes
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:20:09 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Jerusha.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:20:29 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> No, they're just the Meow Mix Irresistibles in salmon flavor, but she really likes them.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:21:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Laurna, are you enjoying the snow? (evil grin)
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:21:28 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> We're still on the weather roller coaster, broke the temo record on fri hitting 81 then dropped to the low 40s on Sat. I'm getting whiplash
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:21:49 PM EST] <KK> I think most of us are.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:22:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We have several feet of snow, waiting to thaw in the spring
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:22:11 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And she heard us talking about her.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:22:19 PM EST] <KK> It's 51 here now, and supposed to rain tomorrow.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:22:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Jerusha. I did not get any snow only tons of rain. and now I have tons of mud. But if I shared images of my sisters new house. can you see them.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:23:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> It is 45F here now
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:23:23 PM EST] <The_Bee> 32F here
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:23:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I saw the picture of you BIL in kilt and freezing knees
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:23:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Jerusha that is my BIL
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:23:51 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> yup. freezing knees
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:23:57 PM EST] <KK> Post a link here?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:24:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> He was not freezing silly boy
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:24:30 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> jjust from the knees down
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:24:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Their house is now complete?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:24:53 PM EST] <HoundMistress> 75 here
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:25:11 PM EST] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/c0AcZNQ4/image.png
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:25:38 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Wow!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:25:44 PM EST] <Laurna> Yep complete and moved in. and they are working on getting the barn done next month
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:26:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Won't you miss your horses?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:26:19 PM EST] <Laurna> Maybe.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:26:45 PM EST] <KK> In that setting, with kilt and mustache, he looks a lot like my Scott.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:26:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And your new adolescent?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:26:54 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> When they finish the barn, are they taking all the horses?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:27:25 PM EST] <Laurna> Jaimey has long grey hair that he keeps back in a braid
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:28:15 PM EST] <Laurna> I think that is the first time I have ever seen him in a heavy coat
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:28:24 PM EST] <KK> Ah. Scott's hair was short, but the mustaches match.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:28:36 PM EST] <Laurna> Neat, I will tell him that
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:28:57 PM EST] <KK> What is the tartan? Can't tell from this pic.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:29:17 PM EST] <Laurna> No that is just a utility kilt. all black.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:29:28 PM EST] <The_Bee> What's BIL's clan? Pic's too dark to see colors.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:29:33 PM EST] <Laurna> His good kilt is Steward hunter green tartan
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:29:58 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Steward or Stewatr?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:30:29 PM EST] <Laurna> Stewart sorry
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:31:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> Were his ancestors Jacobites?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:31:48 PM EST] <KK> Ah. Well, Scott would say that utility kilts are not <real> kilts.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:32:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> They can freeze your knees like real kilts.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:32:52 PM EST] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/0qQEFd8s/image.png
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:33:44 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Very handsome in formal highland dress.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:34:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I got a weird "forbidden" message
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:34:01 PM EST] <KK> That link says it's forbidden.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:34:21 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> That's weird, worked fine for me
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:35:39 PM EST] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Eht2g0KC/image.png
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:35:51 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is the gown authentic highland garb?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:35:54 PM EST] <Laurna> Hard to make the image small enough
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:36:02 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Your sis ter looks lovely too
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:36:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Impressive
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:36:18 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Great picture!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:36:21 PM EST] <KK> Ooooh, nice--both parties.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:36:21 PM EST] <Laurna> That was from her wedding
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:36:56 PM EST] <Laurna> We went to the victiorian Ball in passidina after her wedding service.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:36:58 PM EST] <KK> Were their attendants similarly garbed?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:37:07 PM EST] <The_Bee> And it still fits? Good for her.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:37:13 PM EST] <Laurna> Just me and his son
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:37:31 PM EST] <KK> That's all you need.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:37:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Son was in a kilt as well?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:38:07 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Beautiful dress!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:38:59 PM EST] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/n7q9Pck8/image.png
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:39:32 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Very impressive wedding party. Love it
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:39:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> lovely photo!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:40:05 PM EST] <Laurna> The McNaughton Tartan is the red plaid. they had swapped tartans during the cerimony welcoming each into their family
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:40:19 PM EST] <KK> Lovely. Why the two different tartans on kilt and plaid?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:40:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nice tradition
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:41:11 PM EST] <chris> KK, i got those books out to you in the mail yesterday. should have them by the 1st
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:41:13 PM EST] <Laurna> they didn't change the tartans back after the cerimony so both are wearing each other's tarttan
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:41:55 PM EST] <KK> I see 3 different tartans.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:42:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Son's tartan is not the same
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:43:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> No he had his tartan from the bag pipe band that he plays in
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:43:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Piper or drummer?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:43:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> at least use to play in. I don't know if he uses is pipes much anymore. but he has them
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:43:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Be still my heart...
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:44:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Jaimey's younger son is a drummer
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:44:11 PM EST] <KK> Ah, that makes sense.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:44:28 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Does he wear earplugs when he plays? I love bagpipe music but wow are they loud up close.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:44:45 PM EST] <KK> Ah, but that's part of the magic!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:45:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I have gone to a few concerts and we always stay way to the back. lol
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:45:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Helps to scare the attacking forces
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:45:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> RIght
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:45:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> After all therii original purpose was to terrify an attacking enemy.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:45:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Or at least clear out all the wildlife
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:45:52 PM EST] <KK> I went to a Christmas concert back in December, and there were pipers there from the VMI pipe band. Great addition. I think they also had a drummer or two.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:46:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "What is that screaming demon? Fall back..fall back!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:46:33 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I about got my eardrums shattered standing too close, and the acoustics were weird as hell because I was on the deck of the Yorktown in Charleston (so old WWII aircraft carrier moored just inside the mouth of the Cooper River).
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:47:31 PM EST] <KK> VMI is Virginia Military Institute, sort of the south's equivalent of West Point.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:48:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> There was a video on Facebook of a pipe band playing Rush. Awesome!

[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:48:31 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I think that piper may have been from the Citadel's pipe players.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:50:18 PM EST] <chris> awesome
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:50:52 PM EST] <KK> I love the drums, too. Very different from those usually in a marching band.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:50:57 PM EST] <Laurna> That would get Chris away from his dinner
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:51:00 PM EST] <The_Bee> well played!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:52:23 PM EST] <KK> A nice performance.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:53:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I love how it started with the pipes, then drums, then brass.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:53:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> was one of the statues of Robert the Bruce?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:54:12 PM EST] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:54:13 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Well done. Dhugal would approve
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:54:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Pretty sure that was the one on horseback, and the one with the feather in his bonnet was either Bonnie Prince Charlie or one of his followers.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:55:01 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Maybe one of the casualties of Culloden
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:55:19 PM EST] <Laurna> https://www.facebook.com/reel/823331445548612
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:55:24 PM EST] <KK> I'm not sure Dhughal's folk would understand that sort of performance, an actual band, but I think they'd appreciate it, and maybe experiment with copying the style.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:55:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I thought that was Yankee Doddl with the feather in his cap... 😉
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:56:06 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> More adventures for time-traveling Deryni.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:56:17 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> In Scotland, Eagle feathers in the bonnet indicate a clan chief IIRC
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:56:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yup
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:58:50 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I didn't pay attention to how many feathers the statue had, but IIRC, one feather meant local chief, two regional, three The Whole Darn Clan, and four was reserved to the king only.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:59:30 PM EST] <KK> That's about right, though not certain about the 4. Scott had two.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:59:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Wouldn't want to lose a feather in battle or you might lose your station
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:59:38 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> If that's right, then Charlie should have had four.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [7:59:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Poor naked eagle!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:00:16 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Since he was fighting to be king.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:01:50 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I'd love to visit Scotland someday.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:01:58 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> It's so pretty.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:02:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I agree
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:02:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I am not sure I could handle the cold
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:02:57 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Re wanting to visit, pretty, or yes?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:03:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Tee hee.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:03:21 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Oh, I'd go in the summer for sure.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:03:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> All of the above, DR
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:03:42 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Lol, I figured. Just had to be silly
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:03:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I told Revanne I am only visiting in the summer.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:04:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Summers can still be on the cool side
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:04:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> and I told Jerushe the same thing. only she said the misquitos will carry me away
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:04:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep, they will, and the black flies
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:04:44 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yeah, but I can bring warm clothes by my Floridian Weather Wuss standards.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:05:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ritual blood-letting
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:05:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I would have to go shoping
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:05:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Oh Dear
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:05:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We have a bin with about five different bug repellents, depending on your preference
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:05:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> I ontigonish, Nova Scotia.nce attended the Highland Games in A
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:06:03 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I expect my rain jacket would see plenty of wear, with the flannel lining and the lovely rain-shedding nylon outside.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:06:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I think I would need fur linning. not just flannel
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:07:18 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Layers
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:07:37 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I don't think it is THAT cold in midsummer
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:07:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:08:16 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And leave the blue jeans stateside. They suck at keeping you warm and are REALLY uncomfortable when wet.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:09:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> No Jeans. that is my whole wardrobe.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:09:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Mine too
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:09:41 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Plus they're heavy. Lighter-weight trousers will make it easier to haul luggage.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:09:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> i need more hot tea
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:10:33 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Mine used to be, but my stomach doesn't like the pressure around the waist, so now my wardrobe is leggings heavy.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:12:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I have never owned a pair of leggings. it was either jeans or scrub pants or skirts
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:12:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I wear leggings under my dress
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:13:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Leggings do not suit me. Period.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:13:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Seeing someone my size in leggings makes me want to run for the hills
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:13:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> that's why I wear a dress over them
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:13:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Or like you say wear a skirt over them to hide them
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:14:02 PM EST] <The_Bee> slacks in winter, maxis in summer. They protect from heat outdoors and air conditioning indoors.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:14:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Yeah, they're kind of like those calf-length no-foot tights
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:14:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Good for you Bee
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:14:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Neither leggings or sweat pants suit me. I just look...weird.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:15:15 PM EST] <The_Bee> and I can wear knee-highs instead of pantyhose.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:15:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> BRB need to take the dogs outside.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:17:25 PM EST] <KK> Sorry for disappearing for a bit. Cameron called--he has pneumonia, recovering--and needed to ask me some things about my computer.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:17:27 PM EST] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: Client closed).
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:17:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hope Cameron gets well soon, KK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:17:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> no kiding
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:18:34 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hope he is better soon!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:18:41 PM EST] Join web89 has joined this channel.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:18:56 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hope Cameron is ell soon
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:18:58 PM EST] <web89> Sorry about that. I'm back.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:19:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> OH dear sending lots of warm wishes for Cameron to get well
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:19:29 PM EST] <web89> Tell me again how to change my name.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:19:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> /neck Laurna
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:19:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> type / nick kk
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:20:04 PM EST] Nick web89 is now known as KK.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:20:09 PM EST] <KK> Thanks!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:20:30 PM EST] <Eris> <TM> /neck Laurna? I haven't even met Laurna!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:20:30 PM EST] <KK> Anyway, Cameron is getting better. Cats are helping him.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:20:32 PM EST] * The_Bee sends better-health woodgies to Cameron.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:21:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hehe ... I had typed /nick KK and it went and changed my name to Clyde for some odd reason. so I was trying to change it back. only rented fingers
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:21:20 PM EST] <KK> What did I miss?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:21:45 PM EST] <KK> lol, Laurna. That sounds like something I would do.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:21:45 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> cats are good medicine. nothing better than a warm,purring cat
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:21:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> leggings
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:21:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> get-well for Cameron
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:21:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Clyde> Clyde?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:21:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Clyde> Huh. Clyde.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:22:14 PM EST] <KK> I wonder why Clyde?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:22:15 PM EST] <Eris> <TM> No argument after /nick?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:22:24 PM EST] <Eris> <TM> Ah, it resets to your original name.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:22:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I suppose because KK was being used.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:22:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Maybe for Clydesdale?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:22:32 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Cats are good nurses.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:22:52 PM EST] <Eris> <TM> Clydesdale -- isn't that Clyde's husband?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:22:53 PM EST] <KK> Maybe because we'd been discussing kilts and bagpipes?
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:23:20 PM EST] <The_Bee> I'd rather share my bed with a cat than a Clydesdale.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:23:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You would need a VERY big bed
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:23:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> 9 feet high and six feet wide
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:24:00 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> definitely. Clydesdales take uo WAY too much room
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:24:43 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yesterday my dad was over here helping me with my lap desk and accidentally knocked my cane over on my foot. I was already seated and it didn't hurt but I made a noise from the surprise. Carys the nurse kitteh came over, half lay on the foot, and gave me kisses where it landed.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:24:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Awww, what a sweetie
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:25:06 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Aweee
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:25:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> Good Carys!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:25:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Good nurse!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:25:09 PM EST] <KK> Awwww. Sweet nurse kitty.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:25:16 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I think you'd need to sleep in the stable to snuggle a Clydesdale.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:25:33 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> She's such a good kitty.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:26:46 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> It might be worth getting hay on everything, though, to nap with such a pretty horse.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:28:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> I could be a horse blanket.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:28:25 PM EST] <KK> Need to go. Phone call again. See you all next week. Zoom!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:28:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> cya KK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:28:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> take care
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:28:44 PM EST] <The_Bee> bye KK! Have good week.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:28:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, KK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:28:53 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Thanks for coming to see us! Get-well woodgies to Cameron!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:28:55 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> bye kk. have a good week
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:28:56 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Night KK, have a good week
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:29:08 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:29:14 PM EST] <The_Bee> scritches to Daphne, Thanks to KK
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:29:17 PM EST] <KK> Nighters!
[Sunday, February 26, 2023] [8:29:20 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> G'night, and have a good week, KK!

"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.)
