[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:05:23 PM] <Alkari> Hi KK
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:05:25 PM] <the_Bee> hi kk
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:05:28 PM] <Alkari> Welcome
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:05:31 PM] <Shiral> Hello KK
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:05:34 PM] <Evie> I could get another body, Bee, but there are two problems. One is that it's hard to get an exxact match between face and body, but the other is that the better bodies cost a lot more.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:05:37 PM] <Evie> hi, KK!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:05:41 PM] <KK> Hello, all, and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out thre!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:05:56 PM] <Shiral> Poor Evie, good grave robbers are hard to find!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:06:04 PM] <Shiral>
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:06:05 PM] <Alkari> This is a discussion about Action Duncan and his ability to ride a horse!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:06:18 PM] <Evie> Shiral, are your new pics in the Fan Projects gallery?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:06:31 PM] <Shiral> Yes Evie
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:06:45 PM] <Alkari> Do Fur Kids give their mothers presents?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:06:46 PM] <Shiral> I've only posted twelve, so far. Didn't want to miss chat
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:07:00 PM] <Evie> I just got back from a Mother's Day outing a few minutes ago. Duncan and Helena went with me, and DD took pics of their adventures, but I don't have them uploaded to the Forum yet.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:07:12 PM] <Shiral> Nice presents, or the kind of presents you don't want to step on in the dark on the way to the bathroom?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:07:24 PM] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:07:43 PM] <Evie> I love how your Hagios turned out. Especially since you used my SCA household colors. ;-)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:07:45 PM] <KK> A good prsent fro fur children is NOT finding little prsents underfoot!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:07:52 PM] <Alkari> LOL
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:07:54 PM] <Shiral> Amen, KK!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:08:08 PM] <Alkari> KK, we are FINALLY getting the next series of Once Upon A Time
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:08:14 PM] <Evie> Luke left me a present on the desk. Unfortunately I wasn't in great need of another hairball.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:08:26 PM] <KK> And since poor Warner had a case of the squitters and the uphucks last week, I'm glad that's past!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:08:38 PM] <Alkari> Yuck to both presents
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:08:40 PM] <Shiral> He couldn't think what to get the hoomin who has everything.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:08:54 PM] <Shiral> I would be too, KK!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:09:00 PM] <Alkari> Well, his hoomin wants different hair for her models ...
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:09:03 PM] <KK> Cuddles are the best gifts from our fur children.

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:09:12 PM] <the_Bee> hi DF
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:09:14 PM] <Alkari> Hi DF
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:09:24 PM] <Shiral> Agreed. And their approval on my projects
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:09:27 PM] <derynifanatic64> happy mother's day!!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:09:28 PM] <Evie> DD tried to convince me that we need a 4 week old kitten yesterday, but I reminded her that means more litter box scooping
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:09:32 PM] <Shiral> Hi DF
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:09:52 PM] <Shiral> Smart, but kittens sure are hard to pass up
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:09:55 PM] <Evie> Luke just gave me the 'gift' of lying across my arms while I'm trying to type. Again.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:10:09 PM] <Evie> hi, DF. And thank you. :-)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:10:10 PM] <KK> BTW, Evie, Action Dunan's new capelet looks good. But don't embellish it. Think of clericals as a priest's uniform. Unless you're the king, it isn't done to put extra gubbins on the uniform.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:10:14 PM] <derynifanatic64> are we all ready for the season finale of "Once Upon a Time" tonight
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:10:17 PM] <the_Bee> Melantha generously lets me sit in her lap.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:10:23 PM] <Shiral> Dmitri has become very bossy since reaching adulthood. Poor Francesca!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:10:33 PM] <Evie> OK, I haven't added anything to it, and not adding trim saves me lots of work.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:10:53 PM] <Alkari> Add trim for the ladies
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:11:10 PM] <KK> You can save the va-va-voom for his copes.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:11:27 PM] <Evie> trim for the gentlemen as well. This is the Middle Ages, period for spiffy male clothing as well as female fripperies. ;-)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:11:38 PM] <KK> Yes, ready for Once Uppon a TIme season finale.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:11:45 PM] <Alkari> Depends on the gentleman concerned ...
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:11:51 PM] <Evie> and his Court tunics, KK. I'm sure he has some spiffy "civvies" he wears at times.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:11:52 PM] <Alkari> That was Season 2, KK?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:11:53 PM] <Shiral> IF the Pope has a Pope mobile, do Bishops have Bishop mobiles? =o)

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:12:22 PM] <Alkari> wb Evie
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:12:23 PM] <the_Bee> There's only been one Once Upon a Time season afaik.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:12:28 PM] <Shiral> Oh my, it's Evie's Evil Twin!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:12:30 PM] <Evie_> yes, I crashed
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:12:38 PM] <KK> I suppose they might--if they had mobiles in the Middle Ages. (Chariot, maybe, like in Hunger Games?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:12:56 PM] <Shiral> Yes. Wheeled traffic is still a rather new idea
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:01 PM] <Alkari> So have they just showed Season 1 of Time in the USA? or have they showed Season 2?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:01 PM] <jemler> hi everybody.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:04 PM] <Shiral> in Gwynedd, at least
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:04 PM] <Evie_> jemler, i hope you're logging also. DR had asked me to, but if I'm crashing, I might be missing some lines of text
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:06 PM] <Shiral> Hi Jemler
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:16 PM] <KK> I think it's just one season, isn't it?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:32 PM] <the_Bee> Season 2 next fall.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:32 PM] <Evie_> mobiles of what sort? I missed a few lines, I think
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:39 PM] <Alkari> Well, out here they are advertising Season 2 about to start
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:55 PM] <Alkari> I can never work out the stoopid TV moguls!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:55 PM] <KK> A pope-mobile vs. bishop-mobile.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:57 PM] <derynifanatic64> this is just the 1st season--the first 5 episodes are already out on DVD
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:13:57 PM] <Shiral> I asked if Duncan had a Bishop mobile since the Pope has a Pope-mobile
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:14:09 PM] <Alkari> Usually we are way behind the USA for most shows andmovies
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:14:16 PM] <Shiral> How has your week been other than pet effluvia, KK?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:14:29 PM] <Evie_> I found out recently that our English word "carpenter" came from the wooden wheeled carts that the English woodworkers made which the Romans admired the craftsmanship of
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:14:41 PM] <KK> Not very productive of writing. I had 3 visits to the vet, for 3 different critters.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:14:54 PM] <Alkari> Ouch. Hope they are all OK now?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:14:54 PM] <Evie_> He apparently has a borrowed Prius, and I have photos to prove it. ;-)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:15:07 PM] <Shiral> Ouch!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:15:09 PM] <Evie_> Argh! Poor fur kids. I hope they're better now.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:15:15 PM] <Shiral> LOL!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:15:21 PM] <derynifanatic64> August 28, 2012 is the release date for the 1st season of Once Upon a Time on DVD
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:15:24 PM] <Alkari> Nothing too serious?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:15:37 PM] <Shiral> How very conscientious of Duncan!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:15:48 PM] <the_Bee> I read once that they used to carry a new pope on a jeweled toilet seat for part of the coronation precession. It was a not-so subtle reminder that he still had to answer call of nature like everyone else.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:15:53 PM] <Evie_> Our dog is grieving for his buddy. The dog from next door has been missing for several days. Not sure if he somehow got lost (doubtful), got stolen, or got run over and no one knew where his family lived to notify them.

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:15:54 PM] <jemler> KK, just read this on imdb.com, Once Upon a Time is renewed for season 2!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:15:57 PM] <derynifanatic64> and a 2nd season was confirmed 3 days ago
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:16:01 PM] <KK> Yep. Oswald had an ear infection, now getting drops twice a day, and Gus had a cat fight bite for which he needed antibiotics.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:16:06 PM] <Evie_> But our Pixie is taking his friend's loss hard.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:16:37 PM] <KK> Actually, it was to check and make sure he was male.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:17:00 PM] <Shiral> The dog or the pope?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:17:05 PM] <Alkari> ROFL
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:17:06 PM] <KK> Pope.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:17:10 PM] <Evie_> LOL! I almost asked that too!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:17:12 PM] <derynifanatic64>
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:17:35 PM] <Shiral> Can't have any secret women Popes
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:17:42 PM] <the_Bee> Actually I've read that it was a masculinity check.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:17:47 PM] <KK> Legends persist about a Pope Joan.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:18:15 PM] <jemler> 'Your Holiness, would you turn your head, and cough, please?'
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:18:20 PM] <KK> Allegedly gave birth during a papal procession, and was killed by the mob.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:19:05 PM] <Shiral> Both sound like nasty experiences for Pope Joan if she actually lived!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:19:05 PM] <jemler> their is a reason Italians call the Pope 'Papa'!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:19:13 PM] * Alkari ponders idea of public masculinity checks for today's popes ....
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:19:17 PM] <derynifanatic64> the legend started in the 13th century
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:19:48 PM] * Shiral swats Jemler with a fish, then sets a nice tea table with scones, cream and jam
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:20:15 PM] <derynifanatic64> in 1601, Clement VIII declared the story of Pope Joan was untrue
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:20:40 PM] <the_Bee> Would you expect him to admit it if it were true?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:21:14 PM] <Shiral> How on earth would Pope Joan have had the opportunity to GET pregnant?

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:21:26 PM] <derynifanatic64> a movie came out in 2009 with Johanna Wokalek as Pope Joan
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:21:27 PM] <jemler2> what just happened?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:21:35 PM] <Shiral> The Vatican is not exactly... er, the most romantic place I can think of!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:21:51 PM] <the_Bee> The male popes didn't have much trouble getting around the celibacy rule if they wanted to.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:21:51 PM] <Alkari> Well Shiral, all those handsome monks and priests around her ....

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:22:49 PM] <the_Bee> Help!!! TWO Jemlers!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:22:59 PM] <Shiral> In the Book of Lists, there's reference to a Pope who died while committing adultery. Quite a risque way to check out of the Hotel de Vie

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:24:04 PM] <Evie_> hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:24:06 PM] <jemler> no. i scrolled up to look at earlier posts, and it disconnected me!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:24:21 PM] <Shiral> We're being e-cloned, it seems

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:24:46 PM] <jemler> i wonder how many of me i can make?

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:25:09 PM] <Shiral> Those blasphemers! I can't let them find out about Pope Joan!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:25:38 PM] <Alkari> A papal army of jemler clones ...
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:25:51 PM] <Shiral> Pope Jemler--- too strange to think of
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:25:55 PM] * Alkari runs away
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:26:14 PM] <jemler> especially since i'm not catholic!\
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:26:32 PM] <Alkari> Oh, that's alright - I am sure we can get around that little problem.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:26:34 PM] <Shiral> Maybe they need a change of pace at the Vatican? =o)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:26:51 PM] <jemler> not my pace!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:27:31 PM] <Alkari> I remember a 'Yes, Prime Minister' episode where one of the lines concerning appointment of a bishop was thatbelief in God was only an optional requirement these days
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:27:31 PM] <Shiral> "Your Pace or Mine?"
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:28:01 PM] <Evie_> New update posted to Duncan's thread

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:29:15 PM] <derynifanatic64> great pictures
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:29:38 PM] <Shiral> The Junior Building instructor is walking over me
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:29:44 PM] <Evie_> thank my kid. She had lots of fun taking them.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:29:50 PM] <Evie_> LOL! Dmitri?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:29:57 PM] <Shiral> Yup
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:30:07 PM] <Shiral> Inspector, I mean
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:30:10 PM] <KK> She does have sweet, faint freckles. Nicely done.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:30:18 PM] <Jerusha> Like the driving lesson.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:30:32 PM] <Evie_> that was a lot of trial and error, but I'm happy with how they turned out
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:31:29 PM] <Evie_> watercolor pencil dampened and dotted on the face, left for a few seconds, then blurred and faded a bit by rolling the side of a damp Qtip over them
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:31:44 PM] <Evie_> I just wish the "matte" sealer was less glossy.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:32:40 PM] <Shiral> It's amazing to learn skills we never thought we needed before =o)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:33:26 PM] <Jerusha> There was a time women wanted to hide their freckles
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:33:28 PM] <Evie_> Fun, though. I need to be banned from Joann's. I meant to buy one half-yard of fabric and instead got several more. And some trim. And a few other things.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:33:41 PM] <Alkari> List of Things You Should Know - Item # 2056 - how to make realistic freckles on an action figure
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:34:11 PM] <Shiral> I know, I needed to go to Joann's today too. Getting tlow on glue sticks for my glue gun.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:34:12 PM] <Evie_> Yes, I'm sure Helena probably uses lemon water to wash her face if she can get access to lemons. And she'd stay out of the sun as much as possible
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:34:23 PM] <derynifanatic64>
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:34:24 PM] <Evie_> But they still pop up like tiny brown dandelions.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:34:33 PM] <Shiral> Doll Freckles 101--a required course
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:34:47 PM] <Shiral> Doll head exchange a Pre-requisite."
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:34:53 PM] <Jerusha> I could have lent her a few of mine
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:34:57 PM] <KK> I've always thought that freckles are rather charing.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:35:07 PM] <Evie_> the lips were a major pain. Every time i tried to paint over the original burgundy, I'd wipe off half of an underlayer of paint
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:35:33 PM] <KK> Yes, I like the interchanging of heads. The uninitiated reading our logs would wonder what in the world is going on!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:35:39 PM] <Alkari> lol
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:35:40 PM] <Evie_> I figured as fair skinned as she was, not to mention a redhead, she was bound to have a few freckles.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:35:51 PM] <Alkari> and have their doubts about the sanity of some people ....
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:36:03 PM] <Evie_> I never claimed sanity, did I? ;-)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:36:06 PM] <Jerusha> There are doubts?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:36:09 PM] <derynifanatic64> no
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:36:25 PM] <Shiral> We could have MORE harmful ways to spend our time!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:36:25 PM] <Evie_> In fact, my DD is on a game called Minecraft right now, building me an insane asylum. I kid you not! :-D
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:36:26 PM] <KK> I've noticed that the occaional character on TV now shows freckles. Usually not main characters, but still...
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:36:59 PM] <derynifanatic64> maybe she'll just name it after you, not put you in it
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:37:02 PM] <Alkari> Hmm - must olook more closely at Aussie soaps and series
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:37:06 PM] <Evie_> I figure with Dhugal's coloring, he's probably got a constellation or twelve on his Borderman complexion.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:37:30 PM] <Shiral> LIke he washed his face in spaghetti sauce, yes
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:37:41 PM] <Jerusha> Eew!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:38:07 PM] <Evie_> My son's got copper-bronze hair, and his skin will get a light tan, so he's not as freckled as many redheads, but when he's been outside he still tends to freckle on nose and elbows.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:38:24 PM] <KK> Elbows?!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:38:46 PM] <Evie_> Yes. For some reason he has a greater concentration of freckles there than on the rest of his arms.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:38:57 PM] <Evie_> He has a smattering on his arms, but they mostly turn light tan
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:39:02 PM] <derynifanatic64> interesting place for freckles
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:39:48 PM] <the_Bee> At my age freckles are called liver spots.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:39:50 PM] <Evie_> Then again, my son looks mostly Scottish from my dad's side of the family, but he's got some Filipino in him from my side, so maybe that's why he tans better than most redheads?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:40:48 PM] <Evie_> Oh, KK, I'm supposed to ask you if you got Bynw's (Chris's) email?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:42:04 PM] * anlarye notes that he is now here after all ...
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:42:08 PM] <anlarye> thanks Evie_
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:42:47 PM] <Evie_> Ah. Glad you made it. I wasn't sure if you were actually here or just logged on and afk
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:42:57 PM] <anlarye> just got here
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:43:06 PM] <KK> Which e-mail was that?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:43:29 PM] <Evie_> good, since I might not have a complete chat transcript. I got bounced off chat shortly after KK showed up.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:43:59 PM] <Alkari> So KK - do you think you have persuaded your fur kids to allow you writing time this week?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:44:57 PM] <the_Bee> Allarye is Bynw?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:44:58 PM] <KK> I certainly hope so. Ad I can't afford many more trips to the vet. At least it wasn't the emergency vet, after hours.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:45:25 PM] <Alkari> No, that tends to be expensive!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:45:39 PM] <anlarye> yes the_Bee
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:45:47 PM] * Alkari remembers late night vet calls for colic in horses ...
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:46:09 PM] * Shiral sends good health woodgies to all KK's critters
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:46:10 PM] <Alkari> and the subsequent bills!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:46:19 PM] <Evie_> ack! yes, I had to get my only credit card--a CareCredit card--after Pixie got loose and returned home needing stitches and antibiotics. Over $300, and it was mostly just one laceration on his forepaw.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:46:46 PM] <Alkari> Yes. Though at least with things comig in threes, you have probably come to the end for this week, KK. Let's hope so!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:46:49 PM] <Jerusha> Who is Pixie?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:46:58 PM] <Evie_> Our dog
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:47:04 PM] <Jerusha> Ah!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:47:24 PM] <Evie_> He's an outdoor dog, so he doesn't interrupt chat and get the prime-time attention like Luke and Gigi. ;-)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:47:31 PM] <jemler> you named your dog after a mouse?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:47:40 PM] <Shiral> 1 month after I got Francesca, she needed an emergency C-section. Not only did I adopt a pregnant teen-ager, she needed emergency care!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:47:42 PM] <Evie_> No, he's named after Pixie-Stix candy
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:47:56 PM] <Jerusha> Is there a story that goes with that?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:48:01 PM] <Shiral> I told her she'd used up 5 years of emergency care within the first 30 days as my cat
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:48:06 PM] <Evie_> Wow, Shiral!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:48:17 PM] <jemler> oh. ok. i was thinking of Pixie and Dixie and Jinks the Cat (I hate meeses to pieces!)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:48:34 PM] <Shiral> But I got Nina out of the deal. Until she got kidney failure and a dickie heart and had to be put to sleep in 2010.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:48:38 PM] <Shiral> I still miss her
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:48:44 PM] <Evie_> Along with Pixie-Stix? Just that he's so sweet and cuddly, the neighborhood kids all named him that even before we ended up adopting him. (He was another stray/rescue)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:48:44 PM] <derynifanatic64>
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:48:57 PM] <Evie_> :-(
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:49:27 PM] <Shiral> I don't think Francesca views Dmitri as an improvement over her late daughter
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:49:50 PM] <KK> Nina was one beautiful cat! Bedroom eyes!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:49:59 PM] <Evie_> It took Luke a while to warm up to Gigi, but now they're best buds when they're not fighting. Typical siblings. ;-)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:50:17 PM] <Shiral> She was. And very sweet and cuddly. I think about her at this time of year, which was close to both her birth and death
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:50:28 PM] <Shiral> Sorry, didn't mean to depress anybody
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:50:42 PM] <Jerusha> Memories are good.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:50:43 PM] <Evie_> I think of Genny every Epiphany, since that was her death date
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:51:02 PM] <Alkari> Yes. I still desperately miss my old horse, and he was put down 6 years ago
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:51:22 PM] <Alkari> I'd had him for 13 years
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:51:30 PM] <Shiral> Nina was born on the summer solstice, which is a better memory, vet bills not withstanding. Her little tail was like a fuzzy bit of striped string =o)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:51:37 PM] <KK> But we have to remember what blessings they were in life. And a fair God certaily would not part us from creatures we loved so much.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:51:59 PM] <Evie_> I hope the neighbors' dog turns back up, because Pixie is moping in his doghouse and won't come out except for meals. Today was the first day in nearly a week he came out for just a bit to enjoy the sunshine.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:52:11 PM] <Shiral> I like to think of Nina having a nice nap with Izzy and Pan on a sunny window sill somewhere across the Rainbow Bridge
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:52:41 PM] <Alkari> I like to think of mine as mooching around in a nice paddock, chatting to cattle over the fence
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:52:43 PM] <KK> I hope he's ok. In the spring, critters do sometimes go walkabout. And most of hte time, they do come back safely.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:53:02 PM] <Evie_> I hope so. It's just not like him to be gone this long.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:53:14 PM] <Shiral> I hope he comes home safely
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:53:20 PM] <Alkari> But with all the traffic these days, you really worry if they go missing
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:53:22 PM] <Evie_> in fact, it's not like him to not be in my yard. he thought he lived here.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:53:44 PM] <Jerusha> Our female whippet got loose once. We couldn't find her anywhere. Then suddenly there she was walking up the driveway. We opened the front door and let her in.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:53:45 PM] * the_Bee sends safe-return woodgies for all lost pets and children.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:53:54 PM] <KK> Sigh. We can only hope and pray that he's ok somewhere, and that he'll come back.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:54:04 PM] <Evie_> As mad as I'd get to find him digging holes in my lawn to bury stolen stuffed animals, I wish I'd come home and find him doing it again.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:54:21 PM] <Shiral> Pan went walk bout once. And Dmitri is alive for chances to escape as if he were busting out of Alcatraz
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:54:23 PM] <KK> BRB
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:54:27 PM] <the_Bee> KK, did you ever learn where Jessica went?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:54:59 PM] <Evie_> Luke sometimes tries to make a break for the great outdoors, but when he does, he's afraid of it.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:55:16 PM] <Shiral> Dmitri doesn't have enough sense to get scared
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:55:22 PM] <Evie_> and then he goes feral and we have to carefully coax him back with cat food or tuna
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:56:00 PM] <the_Bee> My neighbor's cat tries to get out. I'm just afraid he'll get caught in the heavy door and be seriously hurt.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:56:46 PM] <Evie_> Mine are strictly indoor cats because we have too many predators in our area, and I've known a few neighbors who lost indoor/outdoor kitties to them.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:56:53 PM] <Shiral> Francesca's in the Cat Spa which is what I call the triangle of desk behind my laptop
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:57:12 PM] <the_Bee> nice and warm and dark?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:57:27 PM] <Shiral> Nice and warm because it's lit with my halogen desk lamp =o)
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:57:43 PM] <Evie_> Luke was "helping" me with the action figure makeovers last night. It's a wonder their faces aren't plastered with ginger cat hair.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:57:46 PM] <the_Bee> a kitty tanniong bed!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:57:49 PM] <Shiral> Now that I have a printer/scanner I have more room for cats, back there
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:58:01 PM] <jemler> a cat scanner?
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:58:04 PM] <KK> Jessica was seen a couple of blocks away, so we can only hope that she adopted another family and is safe.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:58:09 PM] <Shiral> "Duncan needs a nice ginger beard!"
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:58:17 PM] <Shiral> "And I can help with that!"
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:58:25 PM] <Evie_> I missed the photo op a few days ago. Luke was in Alaric's lap and Alaric had his arms up in an "I surrender!" pose, but I couldn't get to my camera fast enough.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:58:35 PM] <Shiral> Not when the lid is down, Jemler
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:58:36 PM] <Jerusha> Must go - almost time for Once Upon a Time
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:58:36 PM] <Alkari> LOL
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:58:53 PM] <Evie_> Yes, he does, Shiral. I need to work on him and Dhugal-stand-in
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:58:56 PM] <KK> Yep, I'm also outta here. See you all next week.

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:59:07 PM] <KK> And hopefully, I'll have good progress to report.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:59:09 PM] <Evie_> Bye!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:59:12 PM] <the_Bee> bye KK and jerusha. thanks for coming
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:59:14 PM] <Shiral> Bye, KK. Tell those critters to stay well!

[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:59:17 PM] <Alkari> No more vets I hope!
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:59:21 PM] <Evie_> yes, looking forward to a story report
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:59:21 PM] <jemler> nite KK
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:59:25 PM] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:59:27 PM] <Shiral> Good writing time for the week ahead
[Sunday, May 13, 2012] [07:59:34 PM] <KK> Nighters!
