Thhank you all. Just read an artcle on medieval color theory to make sure I get my FS guy's color scheme thematically appropriate.

[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:07:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi KK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:07:14 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi KK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:07:19 PM EDT] <Bee> when and where?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:07:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello KK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:07:25 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi KK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:07:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi KK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:07:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Exactly, DR!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:07:28 PM EDT] <KK> Good evening, all.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:07:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Hi KK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:08:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Hi KK and everyone
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:08:17 PM EDT] <Bee> Have you made more progress cleaning house, KK?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:08:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello Revanne. Love your sisters images of the Hare
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:08:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> How are the preps for surgery going? Will you have someone to help you when you go home?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:08:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> And SoCal is used to warm/hot and mostly dry, so no, they aren't going to cope super well with a tropical cyclone.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:08:45 PM EDT] <KK> I've really got to sit down one of these days and delete all the old, outdated links in my bookmark directory.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:09:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi Revanne
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:09:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I don't even want to think about the flash floods in SoCal and the Southwest from that storm. Scary as heck.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:09:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi Revanne
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:09:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Just add it to your To-Do list so you have a visual reminder. (And if you don't have a To-Do list, they can be awfully handy for remembering to do little tasks like that when you've got a few minutes to spare.)
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:10:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> The flooding was the worst part
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:10:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Revanne, hi! 🙂
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:10:20 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Mt San Jucinto got 11.75 inches of water. and of course it all ran down hill onto the palm springs.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:10:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I was worried you might have more mudslides
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:10:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi Revanne
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:11:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> We have a airway tram in palm springs that goes straigth up the mountain side to 9000 ft elevation. and that is where most of the water came rushing down.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:11:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Lot of flooding, both water and mud
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:11:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Stayed up late talking to my cousin so thought I would make chat for once.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:11:54 PM EDT] <Bee> How bad was the flooding where you are, shiral?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:11:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> very nice to see you Revanne
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:12:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Also tomorrow is a public holiday so it will be a good lazy day.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:12:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Lovely
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:12:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Glad you are here Revanne
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:12:42 PM EDT] <Bee> what holiday, Revanne?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:12:45 PM EDT] <KK> More progress on house--yes. Finding some interesting files. And yes, preparations for the surgery are coming along. Went to the local HELP store, which loans out medical equipment, and got a frame to go around the toilet and also a bedside commode. Hope to not need either one, but better to have and not need, than the reverse. I also went to
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:12:46 PM EDT] <KK> my joint class, where they told us much more about what to expect.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:13:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I was several hundred miles north and west of the path of the storm, Bee. But we did get some rain. And the rest of last week was warm, humid and icky. We're used to heat where I am, but we're really not used to humidity
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:13:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good job KK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:13:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> We had a century storm several years ago (my kids were still in elementary and middle school) that didn't seem like a huge storm when it was happening, but IIRC it came on the heels of a drought, so the ground was parched and the rain couldn't soak in like usual, so instead of just typical post-storm flooding that usually subsides in an hour or so, we had this HUGE river overflow <clipped mess
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:13:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> in my town and water just sitting in the road and key intersections. I wasn't able to find a way home until 9:00 that evening. Four hours to do a 40 minute drive!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:13:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> @revanne loved your pics of the Severn River. Have you had a chance to look at the Cadfael Companion yet?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:13:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> August Bank Holiday- the last Monday in August is always a public holiday, what we call Bank Holidays.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:13:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> My kids were stuck at their after school care until 8:30 pm because it took us that long to find a way to get to them.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:14:17 PM EDT] <KK> Revanne, good to see you. And safety to all those facing weather challenges.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:14:54 PM EDT] <Bee> Do you celebrate Bank Holiday by depositing or withdrawing money?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:15:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That must be to balance out our bank holliday the first monday of Sept.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:15:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL BEE
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:15:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Not really yet as I've had my son and grandpuppy staying and now my cousin and her husband are staying - he is undergoing intensive chemotherapy so they are having a few quiet days with me between his treatments.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:15:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Warm, humid, and icky pretty much sums up Alabama for the past two months. 😂 Except make that hot, humid, and icky.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:15:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> As hard as I find it trying to find a bathing suit I like, it must be even harder for a bank....
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:15:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That is very nice Revanne
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:16:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> I hope the treatments go well for your cousin's husband
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:16:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Well, that's a big reason why I live west of the Rockies, Evie!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:16:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Humid absolutely doesn't agree with me
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:16:43 PM EDT] <Bee> I hope everyone's health treatments go well.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:16:52 PM EDT] <KK> We've been pretty moderate here in Virginia. very low humidity, and temps in the 80s, occasionally nudging 90.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:16:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> We make up for it by having relatively mild winters. Though the key word there is relatively.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:17:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> What money would that be Bee? LOL! No it's some historical reason which I can't remember.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:17:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> 5th generation California girl here. Not sure I could live anywhere else.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:17:34 PM EDT] <KK> Maybe the banks were closed on that day, Revanne?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:17:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Evie, Blizzards are not mild in my opinion
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:17:41 PM EDT] <Bee> your own money, I hope.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:17:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> We've had a few days in the 90's here, but compared to some parts of the Nation and in fact the world, it's been a mild-ish summer
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:17:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Because the banks would close on bank holidays, so "bank holiday" became synonymous with "holiday when everythihng closes down," I think.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:18:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> 102F today
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:18:14 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Usually at this point in August, we'll have seen at least a few short heat waves of triple digit temperatures
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:18:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Blizzards are also not typical for here.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:18:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> I think that's right KK and Evie.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:18:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> supposed to be 105f for the next two days
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:18:31 PM EDT] <KK> Ick, Laurna!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:18:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> The Blizzard of '93 was another "century storm."
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:18:55 PM EDT] <Bee> We've had ony 3 90s days here. much rain.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:19:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> It is extremely atypical for us to get snow deep enough to still be on the ground by noon.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:19:20 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Thanks DfK. He's responding well so far.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:19:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> DD1, DD2 and DH got me a new computer as the old one finally gave up the ghost. Learning to use and hope to get back to Wash and Fiona
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:19:23 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> At least last weeks humidity is falling
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:19:40 PM EDT] <KK> Prognosticators are predicting a hard winter.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:19:40 PM EDT] <Bee> 2015 was the year we had 100' of snow.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:19:44 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Hope you enjoy the new computer, DFK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:19:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> YES> YES DFK. I want to fallow you into that rabbit hole
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:19:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> That's just unfathomable for me, Bee
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:20:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Glad you have a new computer DfK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:20:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Glad the kids did right by you, DFK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:20:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Thanks. Me too
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:20:48 PM EDT] <KK> You, too, DFK? I'm still figuring out the appearance of Word and other apps. Not even thinking about Excel at this point.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:20:58 PM EDT] <Bee> Or was it 100"?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:21:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I got a heated jacket last year just in case our winter this year is as cold as some weeks of last winter got, because that was like Ontario levels of cold!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:21:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> They only way to figure it out is to dive in and push buttons
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:21:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I think it was winter 2015 when we decided here in chat that we needed freezer trucks to load up the excess snow in New England and put it on the tops of the mountains out west to balance out the weather.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:21:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> But it's really unusual for us to stay at freezing temps for long, or especially sub-freezing
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:21:38 PM EDT] <Bee> LOL DR!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:21:44 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:22:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> It has Office but I N mostly use Google Docs for writing
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:22:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Google Docs is really handy, especially if you are sharing it with someone else for them to comment on or help edit
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:22:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Stick it on the upper slopes and let it melt naturally: voilĂ , no drought in California! 🤣
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:22:40 PM EDT] <Bee> I mostly use Wordpad.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:23:17 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> As a reall Author, google docs my not provide enough security for novel manuscripts. that is why Word would be so important
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:23:22 PM EDT] <Bee> not sure about Google Docs.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:23:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I have hardly written a word in months.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:23:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> I was thinking the other day that I really might feel like writing Columcil and the Loch Ness monster.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:23:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> We definitely could have used it at that p oint
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:23:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> As a reall Author, google docs may not provide enough security for novel manuscripts. that is why Word would be so important
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:24:01 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> But yeah, GDocs is handy for collaboration but there are some serious security concerns.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:24:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Loch NESS? And Columcil. I am so there, Revanne.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:24:48 PM EDT] <Bee> There's a new attempt to find Nessie.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:24:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I heard about that.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:25:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Good timing. I saw where they are going to make another effort to find Nessie
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:25:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> The poor creatures of Ness will never be left alone
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:25:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I have a cottage on Loch Ness in a mobile game I used to play, and one of the highlights was sitting out on the dock and having Nessie suddenly poke her head out of the water and stare you down for a long moment before swimming away.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> COOL
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> I hope they don't explore too closely, some stories are best left as myths and legends.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Agreed
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Just a staring contest huh?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> "Och, can ye believe it? Here come those crazy humans, again..."
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:34 PM EDT] <KK> I hope they don't find it, or that it gets away. Some things should remain mysteries.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Revanne, have you read Nigel Tranter (sp?)? He wrote one about Columcil's namesake in which St. Columba encounters Nessie.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Lol
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:53 PM EDT] <Bee> If they find anything, will anyone believe it who isn't akready a believer? I don't see how it could be just one creature all these centuries.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:26:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Yes, I hope Nessie lies low
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:27:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Just the climps of a fin in the murky water is all I need.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:27:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> I read a lot of Nigel Tranter a looong while ago, and probably that was one of his books I read.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:27:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Just the glimpse of a fin in the murky water is all I need.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:28:30 PM EDT] <Bee> One theory is that Nessie is a bunch of small critters swimming in a row.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:28:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> If your avakin (game character) sat on the dock, it could watch a boat go by every so often, and you'd see Nessie's humps come up out of the water in its wake quite frequently. But at a certain point in the loop, her head would fully emerge just upstream of the dock and she would watch you for a moment before swimming off. It was so unexpected and cool the first time I saw her, <clipped mess
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:28:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> and then I learned how to time it so I could take snapshots next time she came up for air.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:28:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> I learnt most of my Scottish history that way.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:29:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> From reading Nigel Tranter, not taking pictures of Nessie
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:29:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:29:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:29:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Well if Nessie has evaded them all this time, I Don't think they have much chance for success
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:30:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Does Nigel Tranter write in Scottish brogue or is it fully readable as a non Brit.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:31:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> It's fairly standard English
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:31:19 PM EDT] <Bee> and if they find anything, how will they know it's really Nessie?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:31:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> They won't
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:31:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> "No, it's not Nessie, it's some entirely unrelated plesiosaur."?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:32:08 PM EDT] <KK> Bee, that's an interesting speculation, that it's a string of smaller creatures swimming along.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:32:12 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> sets out scones and tea, with clotted cream, jam and strawberries
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:32:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Yum
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:32:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Photo shop is the enemy of the truth
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:32:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Nessie's kids, maybe
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:32:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> What a yummy tea Shiral
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:32:47 PM EDT] <KK> Yum, Shiral!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:32:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Thanks Shiral.

[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:33:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Lovely, now I'm craving scones
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:33:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Since we seem to be at least spiritually in Scotland for the moment

[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:33:43 PM EDT] <KK> A good place to be, whether real or virtual.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Actually as no formal introductions have been made simply addressing her as Nessie would be a little over familiar!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The narrative is in standard English but a lot of them were written long enough ago to feel rather formal to a present day reader.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> One day, I'd like to get to Scotland in person.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I am with you on that Shiral
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I never saw a moor;
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I never saw the sea,
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Yet know I how the heather looks
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> And what a billow be.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I never spoke with God,
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Nor visited in heaven.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:34:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Yet certain am I of the spot
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:35:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> As if the checks were given.

[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:35:03 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> also adds some shortbread cookies
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:35:03 PM EDT] <KK> You should do that, Shiral, while you still have the physical ability.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:35:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> If I could be bothered to get oug of my warm bed to go downstairs I'm add some single malt whisky to the feast.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:35:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Love it Evie
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:35:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I hope to take after my mom, who's still driving at age 93

[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:35:56 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> floats a cup of tea upstairs to Revanne
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:35:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Lovely Evie
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:36:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> The version I learned in school was "...and what a wave must be" and " as if a chart were given." I suspect this must be a different draft.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:36:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Getting a bit autumnal DfK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:36:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Heck. I can't remember how to make Discord do strikethrough text. -behave-

[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:36:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Can't help with that, DR, since I didn't know if could be done on Discord
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:36:54 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> floats some shortbread and a nice scone all loaded with cream and strawberries as well
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:37:01 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Walt shisky?

[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:37:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:37:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Shisky = Strawberry whisky. It got spilled on Shiral's scone.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:37:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Rented fingers
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:37:45 PM EDT] <Bee> That's the versin I know, Evie.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:38:00 PM EDT] <KK> lol Evie.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:38:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> @love your description
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:38:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Be careful on the stairs, lots of floating cups and plates
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:38:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I can't even imagine what strawberry whisky would taste like. **shudder**
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:38:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Especially given that my old cottage stairs are narrow and steep.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:39:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> The dance along in the air and are certain to avoid any guests visiting Revanne's house.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:39:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Next thing you know, Revanne's citrate will be on the list of haunted abodes
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:39:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Cottage
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:39:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Thunder just rumbled right outside. Glad I'm snug and cozy indoors!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:40:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Lord of Thunder, Thor is about of visit Evie
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:40:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Wonder how many servants wished they could just send whatever their employer required floating up the stairs...
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:40:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> The rectory we lived in from 2003 - 2016 was haunted but the cottage isn't.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:40:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Thor is welcome to drop by if he looks like Chris Hemsworth. I'll feed him tea and biscuits and send him your way, Laurna. 😉
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:40:59 PM EDT] <Bee> That's why dumbwaiters were invented.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:41:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Lol!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:41:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I am actually glad to hear your cottage is not haunted.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:41:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good one Bee
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:41:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Then how do you explain all those floating cups and plates?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:41:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Oh the Rectory ghost was very benign, just wandered about a bit.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:42:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Sigh, My face book page is filled with Chris photos. and I have to say my heart races every time I see them.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:42:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Deryni magic, DFK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:42:26 PM EDT] <Bee> I wasn't joking. Dumbwaiters are real, or at least they were.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:42:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Deryni magic of course 🙂
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:42:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> "I don't know why anyone calls this house haunted. I mean, I've been here for 350 years and I never noticed a thing..."
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:42:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Lol
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:42:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Am I back? Lost connection for a moment
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:43:03 PM EDT] <KK> Did you see it, Revanne, or did it just cause events that couldn't be explained?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:43:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> WB
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:43:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> PErfect, Shiral
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:43:12 PM EDT] <Bee> You're here, Evie
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:43:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hi Evue
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:43:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Evie
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:43:34 PM EDT] <KK> you're back.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:43:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> If we called you EVOO then you'd be Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:44:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Perhaps it is a good thing that the Deryni are not Highlanders "McClouds"
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:44:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Yay! That's one great thing about Discord...I can just scroll up and see the chat I missed while my internet connection was out.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:44:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Wonder what Popeye would think
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:44:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> We never saw it but definite footsteps, not just creaking floorboards we're fairly common. It said hello once to my DH and once to Demercia but never to me.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:44:42 PM EDT] <Bee> How do you know the olive was really a virgin?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:45:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Much less an extra virgin? Maybe the olive was cloistered.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:46:01 PM EDT] <Bee> or they had one virgin too many?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:46:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Once we heard the front door open and close and footsteps crossed the entrance hall and went upstairs. We thought it was DS but was actually put all evening.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:46:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm pretty sure there's a ghost cat in this flat. Either that, or Carys can clone herself. Sometimes I'll see it out of the corner of my eye but Carys is napping in my line of sight.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:46:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> That could be it, Bee
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:46:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Olive Oyl looked like a virgin
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:46:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> When we were on the Delta Queen River boat, one of the men had a bottle of whisky on his cabin table and he woke up to see Mrs. Green the owner ghost of the vessel leaning over his whisky bottle. She was against drinking.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:47:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I love benign ghosts like that.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:48:00 PM EDT] <Bee> The Comics Code Authority would have insisted all women be virgins back in the 1950s
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:48:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Wonder what she planned to do with it
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:48:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> That would make motherhood extremely difficult, Bee.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:48:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Glad she didn't manage to actually take the bottle.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:48:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> She was known to toss all drink overboard.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:48:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> My favorite is the Gray Man, who lives on one of the barrier islands near Georgetown, SC.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:48:57 PM EDT] <Bee> They just avoided mentioning sex, just kisssing.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:49:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> The next thing he saw might have been his bottle floating down the River
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:49:20 PM EDT] <KK> We heard the Holybrooke ghost walking in the corridor, and whistling in the back guest bedroom. And our Housekeeper, Lucy, saw a lady on the stairs in the great hall. And Scott saw an elderly man in old clothing when he was fixing a wall socket.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:49:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That was Proud Mary from the song
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:49:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Gotta watch that kisssing, it leads to baaabies.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:49:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> In the sims it sure does.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:49:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:50:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Cool KK, two different ghosts. Not sure I would live there, but cool none the less
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:50:50 PM EDT] <Bee> Is it true that Catholic girls were told to put a phone book under them if they sat on a boy's lap?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:50:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Supposedly in life, he drowned just offshore in a sudden storm, and now he walks the beach when the weather is about to get gnarly. If you see him and heed the warning to get the heck off the barrier island and take storm precautions, he protects your things.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:51:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Sounds a kindly ghost.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:51:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> "Let your fingers do the walking through the Yellow Pages."!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:51:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> That's why I like him.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:51:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Neat ghost story DR
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:52:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Basically his deal is keeping people from meeting death the way he did.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:52:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> God for him!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:52:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Good
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:52:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> Never understood Catholic saints in that respect. I'd expect Stebastian to never want to see an arrow again in his (after) life.

[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:53:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I personally have never seen nor heard a ghost. I haven't been in places old enough for that.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:53:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> We once stayed overnight in a camp site in France which we later discovered was built over a plague pit. Not a pleasant experience - I woke in the middle if the night to feel something very unpleasant outside the caravan, and DH heard a non-existant child crying. We were glad we were only staying one night.

[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:54:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I would not imagine such a site could be a happy place, Revanne
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:54:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> 😦
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:54:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Yikes
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:54:20 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> But our Rectory ghost felt very different, bot at all creepy.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:54:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> Not!!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:54:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm not sure re saints. I think St. Jorian's deal will be similar to the Gray Man, keeping people from meeting his death.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:55:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Never met a ghost and I'm ok with that
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:55:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> I'm guessing that telling people about the plague pit was not a good selling point!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:55:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I bet!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:55:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Nope
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:55:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> They likely only told you in the morning
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:56:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> "Bring out your dead...."
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:56:35 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Revanne> We only discovered when going into the village and reading a local history board.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:56:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Having just been through a plaque, that is not that funny any more.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:56:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> No, sorry. Apologies. I retract it
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:57:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> You are good Shiral. LOL
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:57:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> A friend of mine was looking at houses with a friend. They both entered one that she had a bad feeling about immediately, but the friend didn't seem to notice anything was off about it until they got to the basement stairs. They opened the door, looked down the stairs into the dark basement, and both simultaneously turned to each other and said "No. Next house."
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:57:20 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or only in the laugh so you don't scream way
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:57:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Glad they moved on, evie
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:57:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Sometimes the smart decision is to nope right out.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:57:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <TM> I could imagine a plague pit being quite a selling point with a segment of the market.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:58:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I think they made a smart decision
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [7:58:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> The people who didn't buy the place with the dark basement, I mean...

[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:00:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Yessss
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:00:08 PM EDT] <KK> Our ghosts never evidenced unhappiness about the state of affairs at Holybrooke. Other then when the roofers were starting on the roof, the first summer we were there, and I got a sense of unease. Figure i Was picking up the house's concern that strange men were swarming on its roof, literally taking it apart. So I went down into the great hall
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:00:09 PM EDT] <KK> and set my back against the post that supported the upper gallery, and explained that we were just going on holiday, not abandoning it, and the men meant only good for the house, and were going to make it watertight again, so we could continue on the restoration. Felt an immediate sense of relief, and never agitation again.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:00:10 PM EDT] <Bee> good nightt. revanne. Sweet dreams.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:00:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> No, she told us she's heading out. Ghosting is when you just vanish.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:00:45 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters, Revanne.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:01:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Wonder if Duncan has had to reassure any spirits at St. Hilary's that the construction going on is all benign....
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:01:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> WOW, KK, I can see where the house would have been so glad to hear the explaination.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:01:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Glad you came Revanne. Sleep well
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:01:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Night Revanne, enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:01:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I think the tea cups have settled down for the night.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:01:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hey, I get cranky when I miss the memo, so I sympathize with the ghosts who were reassured by an explanation.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:02:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> But the tea cups have to float back down to the kitchen and get themselves freshly washed for the morning.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:02:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I need these magical dishes
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:03:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Me too
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:03:17 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> sends the cups and saucers back to the kitchen and makes them pile themselves neatly beside the sink
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:03:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Maybe they can just go down with Revanne in the morning
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:03:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> And revanne's guests were never the wiser
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:03:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> My dishes are nowhere near that helpful
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:04:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> If they can go floating around the place, surely they could float themselves under the running tap and arrange for a few suds before they retire for the night?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:04:05 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <azdesertrose> sends the dishes to arrange themselves neatly in the dishwasher
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:05:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I would love self-cleaning dishes that arrange themselves neatly in the cupboard afterwards.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:05:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Is this really too much to ask for?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:05:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> and Laundry too, lets not forget about the laundry
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:05:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Reminds me of Beauty and the Beast Those were some busy dishes. They touted the bad guys
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:05:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Right? And while we're at it, laundry that folds itself and puts itself away
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:05:49 PM EDT] <KK> On that note, think I'll also retire from chat. I have a busy week ahead of me, and another the following week. and then we're on to the new knee on the 11th. Take care, all, and no drowning or smothering in mudslides!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:05:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> What have I started????
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:05:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That is what I was thinking of too, DFK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:05:52 PM EDT] <Bee> I need a self-cleaning apartment!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Lol, @laurnarose great minds.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> See you later, KK!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Wise advice, KK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Take care of you KK.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good night
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:27 PM EDT] <KK> Folding laundry would be a great blessing!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Have a good week
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:39 PM EDT] <Bee> Thanks for coming, KK! Scritch Daphne for us.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> G' night, KK! Regular chat next week, no Zoom in September?
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:44 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I know. My laundry expects me to do the whole job
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:06:44 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters, all.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:07:01 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> And my sheets expect me to put them back on the bed once they're washed!
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:07:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> So does mine, Shiral,
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:07:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Take care KK. Glad you came to visits Nighy
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:07:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Night
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:07:15 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:07:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Night, KK
[Sunday, August 27, 2023] [8:07:45 PM EDT] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: Client closed).
"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.)
