[18:01] * KK () has joined #deryni_destinations
[18:01] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Hello!
[18:01] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi KK. How are things?
[18:01] <KK> Hello, all!
[18:02] <chris> hello
[18:02] * The_Bee () has joined #deryni_destinations
[18:02] <KK> All good. Went to a party for a friends
[18:02] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hello KK! 🙂
[18:02] <The_Bee> Hi y'all
[18:02] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi Bee. Looks you are in one of the cooler areas of the NE
[18:02] <KK> friend's husband down in Salem and spent the night.  Daphne survived without me.
[18:03] <The_Bee> I'm sure she missed you.
[18:03] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi bee
[18:03] <KK> I suppose.  She came running up to me when I came in, and has stuck close all afternoon.
[18:04] <KK> I gave her wet food almost immediately, so I'd guess that made amends for my absence.
[18:04] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Yes, that's Feline for "Where the heck did you go? I didn't give you permission to leave me!"
[18:04] <The_Bee> When I went to collect Melantha after my hospital stay, she hid under my neighbor's bed.
[18:05] <KK> Is that the neighbor who has the cat that comes visiting?
[18:05] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> My DD1 had a cat who met her in her driveway when she came home for a trip and really fussed at her
[18:06] <The_Bee> Yes. Michael and the cat Mickey.
[18:06] <KK> I suspected that might be the case.
[18:06] <KK> I trust that no one has melted away in the past week?
[18:07] <The_Bee> I think Melantha was tring to punish me for abandoning her, but she was very clingy for a while afterwards.
[18:07] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> It was Coker after the storm but the heat is returning starting tomorrow
[18:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Coker
[18:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> It's been cooler here in the past few days than in the preceding weeks
[18:08] <KK> We're also supposed to get heat tomorrow, but not too bad.  Its 88 right now.
[18:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> It was Cooler after the storm but the heat is returning starting tomorrow
[18:08] <chris> it's going to be in the upper 90s again for the next couple of days but then cooks back down
[18:08] <KK> We knew what you meant after the first repeat. ;-)
[18:09] <The_Bee> dry here. rainy August
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> "Cooks back down" seems particularly apt.... 😄
[18:09] <KK> And hopefully Bynw's weather is cooling down rather than cooking.
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> We've definitely hit early autumn here: highs in the low 80s or lower for the next 10 days
[18:10] <chris> yes the my weather will cool off come wednesday
[18:10] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Lucky for you
[18:10] <KK> Hard to believe it's September already.
[18:10] <KK> No signs of Autumn here yeat.
[18:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Oh, I can tell it's definitely Autumn. Maybe not by the weather, but by my workload!
[18:12] <KK> Er, yes, that would be true for  you, Evie. Back in school.
[18:12] <KK> Your students, that is.
[18:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I'll be glad for it to start cooling off. I just wish it wouldn't cool down much below the 70s.  😄
[18:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi all
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Hi!
[18:13] <The_Bee> !lai shir
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi Shiral
[18:13] <The_Bee> al
[18:14] <KK> I don't mind super-cold weather at all.  I read that they're expecting more snow this winter. I should hope so, because we only got 2 dustings of snow last winter.o
[18:14] <KK> Hello, Shiral.
[18:15] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I hope we get more wet weather here in the West.
[18:15] <The_Bee> Snow is fine as long as I'm not riding my bike in it.
[18:15] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I wouldn't mind super-cold weather if I could stay at home. It's being out and about in it, especially twice a day in traffic, that I dislike.
[18:15] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Shiral
[18:15] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi Nezz
[18:15] <KK> Can't blame  yu
[18:15] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> puts out apple cider and spice cookies
[18:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Yum
[18:16] <KK> you for that, Evie.  Traffic twice a day is bad, whatever day it is.
[18:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Since it's the first Sunday of September
[18:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> We had our really cold snap during the Christmas Break last year, IIRC, but that was fine since we could mostly stay inside.
[18:18] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I just remembered I have a day off tomorrow.  Yay!
[18:19] <KK> That's right, it's Labor Day--freedom from labor.
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Sounds good
[18:21] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Unless you're an expectant mother whose baby decides it's time on the  first Monday of September!
[18:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> LOL!  My goddaughter was born on Labor Day.
[18:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[18:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> How appropriate
[18:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi Jerusha
[18:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[18:22] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[18:23] <KK> Yes, well there is that.  And there's no release from labor for out First Responders, bless 'em.
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Hi Jerusha!
[18:23] <KK> Hi, Jerusha.
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Has everyone had a good week?
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Is your company still with you
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oh, you mean like my mom... my sister's birthday is today
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Yup, babies are born, and medical emergencies happen, and fires start, etc etc
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Jerusha
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> lovely week, thank you! 🙂
[18:24] <The_Bee> normal here. ignored apartment cleaning
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> No, they left of Saturday.  By the end of the visit, I think everyone was anxious to return home.  Including the dog.
[18:25] <The_Bee> Speaking of emergencies, was Idalia close enough to bother any of you?
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> She came  and went, I think
[18:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> We just got very scattered showers, and I'm not even tirely sure they were due to Idalia.
[18:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Mostly stayed south of us . Got some wind and rain. Tidal flooding but nothing's serious
[18:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I think it went closer to DR
[18:26] <The_Bee> DR's in the Panhandle?
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Actually I have a friend in Jacksonville who said it went mostly north of them
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> DR is in Jacksonville\
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> No, she's on the other side of the state, but Idalia would have passed west of her on its way to GA and the Carolinas.
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> It made landfall in a sparsely populated area, but devistated it
[18:28] <KK> She's in Jacksonville.  I think she must have gotten a bit of it.  Or a lot of is, and got blown away, which is why she isn't with us this evening.
[18:28] <The_Bee> Florida's Big Bend got the worst of it.
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> She wasn't feeling too well, so she popped in a short time before chat started to say she wouldn't be here.
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> We got some rain and wind here but nothing too awful.
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> She isn't feeling well and can't deal with screens
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Oh, there she is. 😄
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Laurna isn't able to make it either, she said to say hi
[18:29] <KK> Sometimes life intervenes.
[18:29] <The_Bee> Laarna, are you here, or is that your evil twin?
[18:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Yes, life happens
[18:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi DR, sorry you're not feeling too good
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Re Labor Day, the Pod-Child was born at 3 am on a Tuesday, but most of the time that I was in labor, it was Labor Day. Her birthday is Friday.
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> So she put the labor in Labor Day for you!
[18:30] <KK> That fits, then.
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I heard every joke imaginable about that, especially from my erstwhile father-in-law.
[18:31] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> gives DR, a nice big cookie and some cider
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> She was eight days past her due date, so I was very, very over being pregnant, LOL
[18:32] <KK> I'll bet!
[18:32] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Understandabe
[18:32] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Thank you, Shiral.
[18:32] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> DS1 was three weeks over his due date.  I think it was out of spite
[18:32] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yikes
[18:32] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> "Seriously Mom it looks rough, out there. Can't I just hang around with you a while longer???"
[18:33] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> NOPE
[18:33] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Per my mom, I came ten days before my due date, which maybe makes up for the wakeup call at 4 am by way of waters breaking.
[18:33] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> "Kid, consider yourself EVICTED!"
[18:33] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> My oldest was 16 days late , talk about being over pregnancy, I thought she had changed her mind about coming
[18:33] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> My DS was 11 days earlier than expected, which was rather a mercy, but DD waited until the day before her due date and kickstarted false labor contractions almost daily at dinnertime for almost two weeks before that.
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I think Revanne's son was three weeks past due.
[18:34] <The_Bee> Babies have no consideration for others.
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> None at all.
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Very self centered
[18:35] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> But they're cute, and then they grow up into interesting fun people if you're lucky.
[18:35] <The_Bee> "A baby is an alimentary canal with a lot of noise at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."
[18:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Lol
[18:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Doctor sent me to the hospital and threated to incude me if the baby wasn't born by morning,  I was having none of that:  Kid, you are outa here NOW
[18:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[18:37] <KK> Yep. Who said that? Benjamin Franklin,maybe?
[18:37] <The_Bee> no idea
[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Dunno, but it's dang funny.  🙂
[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> And true
[18:37] <KK> Hey, you quoted it. Churchill, maybe?
[18:38] <The_Bee> sounds more like mark Twain or Groucho Marx. 
[18:38] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> it does sound Twainish to me
[18:38] <The_Bee> I read it somewhere long ago. My mom may have been quoting it.
[18:39] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Or  possibly Winston Churchill
[18:39] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Ahah I see our minds work in similar ways, KK
[18:40] <KK> These are all good guesses.  Anybody want to track it down?
[18:40] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The Pod-Child's engagement photo album: https://tangibletraditionsphotography.client-gallery.com/app/p7ned17bzn
[18:40] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Ever the Librarian, I looked it up, the Quote is credited to a woman named Elizabeth Adamson
[18:40] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> In a 1937 issue of Reader's Digest
[18:41] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> They did the photoshoot at Tybee Island.
[18:41] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Looks like it can only be accessed on a phone or tablet, DR, but the cover picture is pretty
[18:41] <The_Bee> A woman!  I should have known.
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hang on a sec.
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> After a few too many sleepless nights, probably!
[18:42] <KK> Who was Elizabeth Adamson?
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I have no idea. But I'm guessing she had children
[18:43] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> If it was in Reader's Digest, she might not have been famous, just quoted in an article or humor column and the quote itself got passed on.
[18:44] <KK> Sweet engagement pic, DR.
[18:45] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Couldn't open album but lovely picture
[18:45] <KK> Where is Tybee Island?
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Yes, I like the picture
[18:47] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Okay, I had forgotten that there are 100 photos in the album.
[18:47] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Wow, that's a lot
[18:47] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> That is a lot of photos!
[18:47] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Tybee Island is just off the coast of Savannah, Georgia.
[18:47] <The_Bee> I think it's sweet that men still kneel.

[18:48] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The one where he's holding her up, apparently the photographer almost got drenched by a wave.
[18:48] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Nice!
[18:49] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oh, they're so cute! 🙂
[18:49] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Wonderful pictures
[18:49] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> They're lovely
[18:49] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> ❤️
[18:50] <KK> Sweet pics.
[18:50] <The_Bee> I think it's sweet that men still kneel.
[18:50] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The ring was my maternal grandmother's, whom the Pod-Child barely remembers but the ring fit perfectly and they hadn't wanted to buy a new diamond ring for ethical reasons around jewel mining.
[18:51] <KK> Family connections are important.
[18:52] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I can't get that ring past the proximal knuckle of my left pinky, but the Pod-Child got my grandmother's build where mine is from my paternal line. (I'm just an oak tree of a human being, ROFL.)
[18:53] <The_Bee> Have they set a date yet?
[18:53] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Her fiance is the one who rescued Milo the gray ticked tabby who isn't such a kitten anymore.
[18:53] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> 28 October
[18:54] <KK> A man who rescues kittens is usually a good bet. :-)
[18:54] <The_Bee> Autumn used to be ttraditional time for weddings.  after the harvest was in.
[18:54] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Mhm. He's a great guy. If I had tried to custom design a partner for her, I couldn't have done better than him.
[18:55] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> That's awesome
[18:55] <The_Bee> What did he rescue Milo from?
[18:55] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> He's chill enough not to get pulled into her rants but strong willed enough to stand up to her at need (she can be a bit of a steamroller).
[18:56] <KK> I feel the same way about Cameron and Anna.  She gets him. :-)
[18:56] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Supermarket parking lot where he was alone and about six weeks old.
[18:56] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> When my DD2 was engaged the first time she was planning a September wedding outside. I did point out out that is peak hurricane season here
[18:56] <The_Bee> Awww!
[18:57] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> The kitten wasn't on the list, but he's what lasted the longest from that grocery trip!
[18:57] <The_Bee> for kitty, not hurricane
[18:58] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Milo, the day he was found, chilling on my shoulder
[18:58] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1148044343324708894/Foundling_tiny_gray_kitten_on_my_shoulder_13_Sep_2022.jpg
[18:58] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Awww!
[18:58] <KK> Adorable!
[18:58] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Now he's longer than my forearm.
[18:59] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Who could resist that little face?
[18:59] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Clearly not my family 🤣🤣
[18:59] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> 😄
[18:59] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> So your future SIL fits in well!
[18:59] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Very
[18:59] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> He was adorable
[19:00] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> He's still very cute, which is fortunate because he's a holy terror who likes to run and play at Stupid O'Clock in the morning.
[19:01] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Another baby without consideration for his elders!
[19:01] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I hope you are referring to Milo and not your son in law. 😉
[19:01] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> My Potpie loves announcing that he's caught a toy mousie at around midnight, 2 am, and 5 am. He's very loud about it.
[19:01] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> If he weren't cute (and sweet, truly), he'd be in trouble.
[19:01] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yes, Milo is a holy terror, not future son-in-law.
[19:02] <The_Bee> Milo would not make a suitable son-in-law.
[19:03] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Of course not. He's the grand-kitty.
[19:06] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> It has gotten very quiet suddenly
[19:07] * The_Bee scritches Milo.
[19:07] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> It has....
[19:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> a little *too* quiet...
[19:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Wonder what's going on
[19:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> holiday
[19:08] * The_Bee sets of a string of firecrackers in the chat room.
[19:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[19:09] * CambersGhost [discord] <Jerusha2> positions a large gong
[19:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Oh my
[19:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> *sets up the trebuchet*
[19:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Did everyone decide to pay hide and seek without us?
[19:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Sorry, got distracted by thinking I heard something in another room, which was a bit distressing since I'm alone at the moment.
[19:09] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> fills trebuchet with goldfish crackers
[19:09] <The_Bee> We're having catnaps.
[19:10] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> /positions gong to meet the crackers
[19:10] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Mackerel for the trebuchet
[19:10] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> And Audaline the granddog, from July (her 2nd birthday, complete with dog-safe cake)
[19:10] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1148047346521886781/received_288965496950669.jpg
[19:10] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I've got my parents in town so I'm a wee bit sidetracked
[19:10] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Aww, sweet pupper!
[19:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Happy birthday to Audaline🎂
[19:11] <The_Bee> Your parents are dobermans?
[19:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Not anymore... 😉
[19:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Bet you minded them
[19:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I always minded them. I was a good kid. 🙂
[19:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Audi is a German shepherd/Australian cattle dog cross, the first successful cat-herding dog.
[19:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Then what happened, Nezz? 😉
[19:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I grew up and wasn't a kid anymore. 😄
[19:12] <KK> Great cake.  Who's the cat supervisor?
[19:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Or minding
[19:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> exactly!
[19:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I've been a holy terror ever since. 😄
[19:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> That's Milo snoopervising.
[19:14] <KK> Shepherd and Australian cattle herding dog.  Interesting combo.  I'll bet he's super-smart.
[19:14] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Carys says, pay attention to meeeee

[19:15] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> @KK IIRC a week from tomorrow is your big day. Hope all goes well
[19:15] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> She is. I told the Kiddo that Audaline was going to keep her on her toes!
[19:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Carys knows how to get attention
[19:16] <KK> Yep, a week from tomorrow.  This next week will fly by.  Still working on the clutter, which now is mostly files.
[19:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> S crutches for Carys
[19:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yup. If all else fails, get in the way to the greatest degree possible
[19:17] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> S critches for Carys
[19:17] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> How do you give a cat cruches? 😉
[19:17] <The_Bee> Will you be in the hospital Sundy evening?
[19:17] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> You make them very short and have 4 of them
[19:18] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> It may not be comfortable immediately post-op, KK, but once the incisions heal, you'll be glad you went ahead.
[19:18] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Cat crutches
[19:18] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I still say it would be hard to get the kitty to learn to use them....
[19:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Can you imagine trying to coordinate 4 of them
[19:19] <The_Bee> Let's hope she never needs tham.
[19:19] <KK> Yep, I'm not looking forward to the rehab, it will be good to have a functioning knee again.
[19:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> My mom   was definitely happy with the results, and she had a tough time with the rehab period
[19:20] <The_Bee> Will you make chat, or will you be in thehospital then?
[19:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> I had mine done 12,years ago and they're still working well
[19:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> It is worth it
[19:22] * CambersGhost [discord] <stnezz> launches a trebuchet full of fish right at Evie, KK, and Shiral
[19:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[19:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Everybody duck!
[19:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Duck!!'
[19:22] <KK> Don't know if I'll make chat next week.  Oddly enough, knee replacement is considered to be an out-patient procedure, though they do usually keep patients at least overnight.  So I'll be in my own little bed Sunday night.
[19:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Hope you have a swift recovery, KK
[19:23] * CambersGhost [discord] <stnezz> launches a trebuchet full of ducks at Jerusha, DFK, and Bee
[19:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Will the surgery be early the next morning, KK?
[19:23] <The_Bee> Sweet Dreams and successful surgery outcome to kk.
[19:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Launching a trebuchet full of ducks at Nezz
[19:24] * CambersGhost [discord] <stnezz> ducks behind a fish
[19:24] <KK> Won't know my check-in time until Friday. whenever, they've got you standing up and walking that afternoon.  Garg!
[19:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Garg, indeed!
[19:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Wow!
[19:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Garg. I like that.
[19:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> But wishing you a fast, problem-free recovery, KK
[19:25] <KK> Glad you like it.  I just made it up!
[19:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> It sounds awful but you need to move around so you don't get stiff or develop blood clots
[19:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> That's why your the pro and we're just the wannabes. 🙂
[19:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> That's why you're the pro and we're just the wannabes. 🙂
[19:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> I wannabee a Garg
[19:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Trying to picture Camber's reaction if Joram ever came up with  "Those Regents Cinhil chose--Garg!"
[19:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I wannabe a gargoyle
[19:26] <KK> Maybe that could be arranged, Evie.
[19:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> You have to hold really still, Evie....
[19:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Rock solid
[19:27] <The_Bee> and let rainwater pour out of your mouth
[19:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Eeww
[19:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> OK, on second thought..... 😄
[19:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> It would of course be more fun if you could aim the water at the people who deserved a wetting....
[19:29] <KK> This is true.
[19:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> Looking around to see who is deserving of gargoyle upchuck
[19:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> The ultimate in spitting
[19:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I'll bet Paddy would have yielded to that temptation a time or two....
[19:30] * CambersGhost [discord] <Jerusha2> grabs a golf umbrella
[19:30] <KK> Quite possibly.  But only if the recipient deserved it.
[19:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> They'd never suspect it was him, though....
[19:33] <KK> No, I'm sure gargoyles have excellent stealth skills.
[19:33] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> 😄
[19:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> "My goodness, Archbishop Loris, we can't understand how that happened. And your best white satin cope, too. What a shame..."
[19:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> They always get a +9 to their rol
[19:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> In a phone call, so I'll say goodnight. Hope you feel better from your surgery soon, KK
[19:34] <KK> Yep.
[19:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Alas, I must go.  KK, if we don't chat on Sunday, best wishes for successful surgery and easy walking in the afternoon
[19:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Night, Evie
[19:34] <The_Bee> Good week to all!
[19:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> see ya Evie
[19:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Good luck and hope all goes smoothly, KK especially the recuperation
[19:35] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Nighters!
[19:35] <The_Bee> good night and good surgery woodgies to you, KK
[19:35] <KK> Thanks, Jerusha.  And I think I'll bow out now as well.  Those files don't sort themselves, and certainly don't choose their demise by diving into the Shred box.
[19:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Show those files who's boss, KK!
[19:36] <The_Bee> show those files who's boss!
[19:36] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves good night, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[19:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> I need to go too. Best of luck KK. I hope every thing goes smoothly and you are soon walking without pain. Alaric and Duncan will help with the pain control.
[19:36] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> waves farewell to all, steps onto her portal and disappears in a cloud of blue steam
[19:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Bye!
[19:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Have a great week
[19:36] <chris> i'll get the log posted
[19:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> g'night to everyone leaving
[19:37] <KK> I'm inviting all my Healer-type Deryni to accompany me.
[19:37] <The_Bee> Good!
[19:37] <KK> Ta for now, all.
