[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:04:57 PM EST] <bennu> hi KK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:04:58 PM EST] <Jerusha> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:05:03 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:05:58 PM EST] <Jerusha> How were your holidays with Cameron and Anna?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:06:03 PM EST] <KK> Did everyone have a good Chrisstmas--or whatever other holiday one might celebrate at this time of year?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:06:16 PM EST] <Jerusha> Mine was quiet, but nice
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:06:33 PM EST] * bennu had a good christmas
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:07:12 PM EST] <KK> I had a delightful week with Cameron and Anna. And no awful weather to contend with, especially going through Chicago on the way out. It was nearly 70 on Christmas day.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:07:36 PM EST] <Jerusha> Excellent; and a wonderful temperature

[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:08:05 PM EST] <bennu> yeah christmas day weather was just beautiful
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:08:09 PM EST] <bennu> hi Demercia
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:08:12 PM EST] <Jerusha> Hi Demercia
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:08:16 PM EST] <Demercia> Hi
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:08:27 PM EST] <Demercia> Happy new year all
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:08:36 PM EST] <Jerusha> Happy new year
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:08:55 PM EST] <bennu> happy new year to you as well 2020 is going to be far better than 2019
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:08:57 PM EST] <KK> On Christmas Eve, Cameron took us to see the new Star Wars movie at a theatre with all the bells and whistles: vibrating and pitching seats (nearly needed a seat belt), puffs of air in the hair to simulate close shots, tiny sprays of water when appropriate.... It was fun!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:09:22 PM EST] <Jerusha> That's quite the way to see a movie
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:09:50 PM EST] <KK> Indeed. The technology is still evolving, of course, but it was impressive.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:09:52 PM EST] <Demercia> Motion sickness pills provided?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:09:58 PM EST] <Jerusha> But might be hard to eat popcorn
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:10:04 PM EST] <KK> Almost should have done.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:10:09 PM EST] <Demercia> That too
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:10:50 PM EST] <bennu> i just go with the nice reserved seats that are supper comfy
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:11:13 PM EST] <KK> Now we're expecting light snow on Tuesday. But can't complain. It's been a very mild beginning to winter, thus fara.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:11:25 PM EST] <bennu> it can stay mild
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:11:30 PM EST] <Jerusha> We are expecting snow as well
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:11:42 PM EST] <Jerusha> Mild is fine with me!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:11:52 PM EST] <KK> These were reserved and comfy,both. And they'll even deliver food to you in your seat.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:12:14 PM EST] <Demercia> We had to change our plans because of Revanne's DH having had his op only a few weeks previously. So I ended up driving down the motorway with a cooked joint of beef in the boot. But we managed to be all together.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:12:19 PM EST] <bennu> its like 42 today but a bit windy
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:12:43 PM EST] <KK> Beef is good!

[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:12:51 PM EST] <bennu> hi Revanne
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:12:57 PM EST] <Revanne> Hi
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:12:57 PM EST] <Jerusha> Hi revanne
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:12:58 PM EST] <KK> Speaking of....
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:13:08 PM EST] <Revanne> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:13:11 PM EST] <Demercia> Speaking of my evil twin&#128513;
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:13:17 PM EST] <Revanne> And everyone
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:13:21 PM EST] <Demercia> Hi
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:13:22 PM EST] <Revanne> Lol
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:13:34 PM EST] <KK> How's your DH, Revanne?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:14:24 PM EST] <KK> Ouch, should I not have asked? I hope all is well.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:14:31 PM EST] <bennu> i only have a virtual evil twin like bynw over there (since i'm on 2 different computers right now)
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:14:42 PM EST] <Revanne> He's slowly improving both physically and mentally. It's a steep learning curve managing his stoma bag but we're getting tgere.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:15:07 PM EST] <Revanne> Thanks for asking KK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:15:47 PM EST] <KK> Yike, I hadn't realized a stoma bag was involved. So sorry--and prayers for a smooth and uneventful easing into his new normal.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:16:14 PM EST] <Revanne> We've had one or two dusaters that are best left to the imagination. Luckily we can laugh about it.

[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:16:45 PM EST] <Jerusha> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:16:55 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hello all
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:16:56 PM EST] <Demercia> Hi Shiraz
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:16:58 PM EST] <KK> It takes practice. things will improve.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:17:06 PM EST] <Demercia> Shiral
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:17:07 PM EST] <Revanne> It will be reserved hopefully in a few months so not for ever.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:17:15 PM EST] <Revanne> Reversed
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:17:25 PM EST] <Revanne> Sorry rented fingers
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:17:43 PM EST] <Revanne> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:17:45 PM EST] <KK> Oh, that is excellent. From your mouth to God's ear!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:18:11 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Shiral.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:18:16 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:18:21 PM EST] <Revanne> Indeed and in time for our son's wedding in August
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:18:30 PM EST] <Jerusha> Even better!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:18:43 PM EST] <KK> A family wedding? Oh, congratulations!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:19:24 PM EST] <Revanne> Yes - it's very exciting and daughter-in-law to be is lovely.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:19:49 PM EST] <KK> That's always a good thing. Mine has become like a true daughter to me.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:20:08 PM EST] <Revanne> That's such a blessing isn't it.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:20:15 PM EST] <KK> Amen!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:20:55 PM EST] <Revanne> How was everyone's new year.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:21:18 PM EST] <Jerusha> Calm, which is not a bad thing
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:21:24 PM EST] <KK> Quiet, and at home. Never particularly liked going out to parties anyway.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:21:40 PM EST] <Shiral_> Pleasant. Quiet. Went to see the new Little Women movie with Mom and a friend of hers, then we went out to dinner
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:21:50 PM EST] <Revanne> Calm and quiet is good.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:21:56 PM EST] <Jerusha> Did you like Little Women?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:22:23 PM EST] <KK> As I recall, I watched multiple episodes of The Crown. When I was at Cameron's, we watched some, and he informed me that I had Netflix on my own TV. I even learned how to navigate to it.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:22:35 PM EST] <Revanne> What did you make of it Shiral, I'm in two minds whether I want to see it.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:22:45 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hello KK, Demercia, Revanne, and Shiral_. Sorry, I'm even more distracted than usual, LOL.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:22:57 PM EST] <Revanne> Hi DR
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:23:00 PM EST] <Shiral_> I did. I kind of liked that the movie didn't move in a straight Chronological line from beginning to end. But I can see how flashbacks and flashforwards could be very confusing
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:23:10 PM EST] <Demercia> Hi DR
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:23:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hello.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:23:22 PM EST] <Shiral_> Mom hadn't read the book in a long time, and she was extraordinarily confused, at first. Hi DR.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:23:54 PM EST] <Revanne> I always worry they'll imagine the characters differently than I do.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:23:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> I liked Demercia's typo of Shiraz, even though I can't drink red wine.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:23:59 PM EST] <KK> Saw Little Women last weekend with a friend. I didn't like it as well as previous versions. Great casting and photography, but crappy editing. I found it hard to follow, with the flashbacks used, even knowing the story..
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:24:28 PM EST] <Shiral_> I can understand why, KK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:24:58 PM EST] <Shiral_> I also love the story between Beth and Jo, and felt that Beth got very shortchanged in this version
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:25:05 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello everyone
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:25:10 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:25:12 PM EST] <Jerusha> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:25:13 PM EST] <Revanne> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:25:16 PM EST] <Demercia> Hi Laura
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:25:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Laurna!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:25:41 PM EST] <Laurna> I lost track of the time
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:25:52 PM EST] <KK> Glad I saw it, though. And I want to see Cats, even with the crappy reviews it's been getting. The reviewers don't seem to realize that it's based on a collection of poems about ccats, so the plot line is a bit weask. But I love the music!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:25:52 PM EST] <Laurna> Happy new year to everyone
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:25:53 PM EST] <Revanne> That's a pity as I think you see another side of Jo in her interactions with Beth.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:26:22 PM EST] <Shiral_> There was SOME of that. but I thought there has been more in previous versions
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:27:13 PM EST] <Shiral_> But I did like Saorse Ronan as Jo. Although I also kind of wondered if she owned a hairbrush, sometimes. Her hair tended to look like a haystack in a high wind.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:27:26 PM EST] <KK> Also looking forward to seeing 1917. Previews look fascinating.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:27:53 PM EST] <Jerusha> 1917 looks like an "edge of your seat" type of movie
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:28:09 PM EST] <Revanne> I'll maybe treat myself - I can't go and see the latest Star Wars film the title of which escapes me because DH isn't up to it and he would not forgive me for going without him.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:28:21 PM EST] <KK> Good war movies are like that.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:28:25 PM EST] <Shiral_> Went to see Knives Out a few weeks ago. If you like a plot that keeps surprising you, go see that.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:28:39 PM EST] <KK> What's it about?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:29:00 PM EST] <Revanne> 1917? Don't know that that has made it to this side of the pond.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:29:13 PM EST] <Jerusha> Rats - I must run off. Time to phone my Dad for our Sunday chat. Have a good new year, everyone!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:29:27 PM EST] <KK> Yoiu too, Jerusha.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:29:30 PM EST] <Laurna> Good Sunday Jerusha
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:29:31 PM EST] <Revanne> Bye. Have a goid week
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:29:34 PM EST] <Jerusha> Thanks!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:29:40 PM EST] Quit Jerusha (d169d326@owirc-0o17lq.mibbit.com) has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:29:52 PM EST] <Shiral_> It's a family murder mystery....on the surface. But it keeps developing. The Pater Familias is a crime writer who has been very successful. And he knows his children rather too well.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:30:12 PM EST] <KK> Sounds interesting.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:30:29 PM EST] <Shiral_> Or at least, knows all the various ways they're behaving badly, toward him and each other.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:30:44 PM EST] <bennu> hi Shiral, was in another window there for a bit
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:30:45 PM EST] <Shiral_> Daniel Craig is excellent as the Detective.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:30:45 PM EST] <Demercia> 1917 is not out yet Revanne but it will be showing here.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:30:58 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hi Bennu
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:31:10 PM EST] <Shiral_> I might screw up my courage to go see 1917
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:31:51 PM EST] <KK> And of course, this is totally different from Morgan Llewellyn's book of the same name.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:32:12 PM EST] <Revanne> Ah ok. I've been a bit out of things lately &#128522;
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:32:23 PM EST] <KK> Which is about the Irish civil war.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:32:46 PM EST] <Demercia> I'm going to have to save all these films up for holidays. Now I am moving to a job where I might actually have time to go to the cinema, I'm going to a town without one. Apparently an amateur group called "Flix in the Sticks" puts on shows in the summer&#128512;
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:32:48 PM EST] * Shiral_ snaps fingers and puts out hot tea and fresh shortbread
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:33:01 PM EST] <Demercia> Lovely Shiral
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:33:13 PM EST] <Revanne> Yum
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:33:18 PM EST] <KK> How far is it to the nearest cinema?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:33:48 PM EST] * Revanne puts out toasted tea cakes
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:33:56 PM EST] <Demercia> Oh miles in UK terms KK. Probably about 10&#128513;
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:34:05 PM EST] <Demercia> Actually I'm not sure
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:34:09 PM EST] <KK> That isn't too bad.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:34:32 PM EST] <KK> Where are you moving to?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:34:43 PM EST] * Revanne also wonders whether to be generous and share the last of a bottle of mead
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:35:06 PM EST] <Demercia> A little town called Ellesmere, about 5 miles this side of the Welsh border.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:35:36 PM EST] <Demercia> I'm going back to being a vicar.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:35:39 PM EST] <KK> Hmmm, should be interesting. What's the nearest larger town?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:35:46 PM EST] <Demercia> Shrewsbury
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:35:55 PM EST] <Revanne> Wierdly not far from where our great-grandfather came from
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:36:00 PM EST] <Laurna> Cool Demercia
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:36:10 PM EST] <Demercia> Grandfather Revanne
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:36:21 PM EST] <bennu> that's cool
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:36:30 PM EST] * bennu waves to Laurna
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:36:40 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Bynw
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:36:48 PM EST] <Revanne> Well his father lived there too :-)
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:37:12 PM EST] <Laurna> As likely did his father's father. Yes?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:37:14 PM EST] <Shiral_> So basically correct. =o)
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:37:22 PM EST] <Demercia> It's not too far from Liverpool where Revanne's DS and fiancee are.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:38:34 PM EST] <Demercia> My Sat Nav can't pronounce English place names, I can't imagine how it will cope with the Welsh ones
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:38:57 PM EST] <KK> Then it sounds like decent cinemas should be within striking distance. In your copious spare time, of course.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:40:56 PM EST] <Laurna> I have not been to the cinema in months. Not even sure I want to see anything playing
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:40:58 PM EST] <KK> Even here, sat nav sometimes has trouble pronouncing place names correctly. Like Buena Vista, for which it says Bunna Vista..
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:41:56 PM EST] <Demercia> for some reason it struggles particularly with "Watling Street"
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:41:57 PM EST] <Shiral_> Bunna Vista....brings up some interesting mental images, doesn't it?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:42:03 PM EST] <Laurna> To funny that you have a Buena Vista, that seems like a decidedly Californian town.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:43:09 PM EST] <bennu> we have an unincorporated town with that name and a county
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:43:47 PM EST] <KK> And Rio Road in Charlottesville--which the locals pronounce Rii-O.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:43:55 PM EST] <Demercia> What is an unincorporated town?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:44:36 PM EST] <Laurna> I live in an unicorporated town. hah Woodcrest it is called
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:44:49 PM EST] <bennu> see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unincorporated_area
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:44:49 PM EST] <DesertRose> A town (and sometimes calling it a "town" is a stretch) without any official anything, like a mayor or town/city council.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:44:55 PM EST] <Revanne> We have a castle called Belvoir which I guess is the French rather than Spanish pronounced Beaver.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:45:28 PM EST] <Laurna> The center of the street is the boundry for the city of Riverside. but we are not in the city ourselves. and we like to keep it that way.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:45:45 PM EST] <Revanne> What we would call a village maybe.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:45:48 PM EST] <Demercia> Thanks Bennu, I will look it up later or Mibbit will boot me
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:46:56 PM EST] <Revanne> Where our cottage is is just a collection of scattered houses - we don't even mabage a metalled road to our gate just a muddy track.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:47:11 PM EST] <Revanne> Manage.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:48:03 PM EST] <Revanne> And interesting windy roads only wide enough for one vehicle so you hope not to meet anything on a bend.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:48:07 PM EST] <Shiral_> The last time I was in France, we had a few days of driving around and her GPS sounded like we were being guided around by Crocodile Dundee....who had never studied French.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:48:18 PM EST] <Revanne> Lol
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:48:27 PM EST] <KK> Ditto, lol.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:48:39 PM EST] <Laurna> Amazing that developments have not moved in yet.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:49:00 PM EST] <KK> Revanne, one would think the vestry would be able to manage something better for its clergy.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:49:18 PM EST] <Revanne> N
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:49:20 PM EST] <KK> Or is the house not provided by the church?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:49:43 PM EST] <Revanne> It's our own cottage which we use for holidays etc.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:49:52 PM EST] <KK> Ah.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:50:04 PM EST] <Laurna> Like what we would call a mountain retreat.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:50:15 PM EST] <Revanne> We love that we are off the beaten track
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:50:42 PM EST] <KK> Except in tropical downpours. ;-)
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:51:12 PM EST] <Revanne> Indeed, then we light the fire and stay snug.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:51:45 PM EST] <Demercia> I am ridiculously excited that the vicarage that I am moving to has double glazing. This house is wonderfully historical (the cellars are 15th century in part] but chilly.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:51:53 PM EST] <KK> And are reasonable assured that no stranded traveler will come knocking at your door.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:52:10 PM EST] <Shiral_> Get some nice warm sweaters, Demercia.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:52:26 PM EST] <Demercia> I have&#128512;
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:52:33 PM EST] <Laurna> Historical things are amazing
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:52:36 PM EST] <Demercia> And a warm cat
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:52:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> I remember when I was a kid, certain roads in Arizona were very narrow and there was (is?) a system of hand signals accompanied by pulling one's car as far out of the way as one could manage and allowing drivers to pass one at a time. That gets a little interesting when the road is on a steep hillside.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:52:42 PM EST] <bennu> lots of warm cats
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:52:44 PM EST] <Laurna> But I do love modern amenities.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:52:50 PM EST] <Shiral_> Add cats until you're warm enough
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:52:55 PM EST] <KK> The double-glazing will help.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:53:09 PM EST] <Shiral_> Dmitri wishes you all a Happy New Year
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:53:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'm sure Theo will gladly be a cuddle-buddy/lap-warmer.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:53:22 PM EST] <Revanne> Hi Dmitri
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:53:25 PM EST] <Demercia> Yes and the new house is 1970's
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:53:31 PM EST] * Laurna pets Dmitri
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:53:38 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'm at my parents' house, but Layla just jumped onto the couch to see what I'm doing.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:53:42 PM EST] <KK> Gus wishes the same, from my lap. He's being super snuggly this afternoon.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:53:49 PM EST] <Shiral_> He's sitting here on my desk with his laser beam "Feed me, you fool" look on his face
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:53:49 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Dmitri and Gus.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:54:02 PM EST] * DesertRose offers scritches to any and all cats present who would like some.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:54:02 PM EST] <Laurna> Hi supper snuggly Gus
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:54:07 PM EST] <Demercia> Theo is too busy having a wash to reply
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:54:14 PM EST] <Shiral_> Happy New Year to Gus, too
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:54:20 PM EST] <Revanne> Our cottage is 1750 in it's origin but has all mod cons.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:54:24 PM EST] <bennu> my kagi is taking one of her many naps. if she was awake she would be telling me to stop doing things on my computers and pay attention to only her

[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:54:26 PM EST] <Shiral_> And of course, Tati seconds the happy New Year wish
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:54:42 PM EST] <Laurna> Wow Revanne
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:54:55 PM EST] <Shiral_> Sounds great, Revanne.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:55:01 PM EST] <bennu> hi DFK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:55:09 PM EST] <Demercia> Hi DFK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:55:12 PM EST] <Shiral_> Hi DFK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:55:17 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Hi all! made it!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:55:20 PM EST] <bennu> thanks for kicking our game into gear again.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:55:23 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello DFK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:55:35 PM EST] <Revanne> Would love to welcome anyone who makes it across the pond.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:55:45 PM EST] <Revanne> Hi DfK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:55:51 PM EST] <Laurna> Take you up on that someday Revanne.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:55:52 PM EST] <KK> Love historic homes. Just realized a few days ago that when I eventually move, it will be the first time I've lived in a more modern house since 1987.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:56:06 PM EST] <DesertRose> My New Year's Day getup: https://i.postimg.cc/bvZq70hx/New-Year-s-Day-into-the-20s-New-Woman-Marlene-Dietrich-style-1.jpg
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:56:17 PM EST] <Shiral_> Well.....I live in a modern home and it suits me very well
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:56:31 PM EST] <KK> But I'm no longer willing to contend with stairs, which most historic houses have.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:56:40 PM EST] <Shiral_> You looked very distinguished, DR.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:56:40 PM EST] <Laurna> Much fun in that hat DR.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:57:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> And here's the whole crew, in front of the brunch hosts' Craftsman house built in 1914: https://i.postimg.cc/8CYzcKHX/1920s-Brunch-group-silly-color-1-Jan-2020.jpg
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:57:41 PM EST] <Laurna> Oh I like that group DR.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:57:44 PM EST] <Demercia> I would prefer this house if the butler and parlour maid still came with it&#128512;
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:57:47 PM EST] <Shiral_> Great 1920's Party!!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:58:10 PM EST] <Shiral_> It's SO hard finding Butlers in Sunnyvale.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:58:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> It doesn't fit, LOL. I tried to steam it (felt hat) to stretch it a bit, but it wasn't enough. I'm going to have to learn millinery if I'm going to get women's fashion hats to fit my silly head.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:58:26 PM EST] <KK> That looks like a fun group, DR. Everyone made a pretty good effort to dress appropriately.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:58:43 PM EST] <Revanne> Looks great fun DR
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:58:56 PM EST] <Shiral_> Looks like a jolly time was had by all. =o)
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:59:27 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> You look great
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:59:55 PM EST] <Demercia> I read an interesting article the other day that pointed out that 20's fashions worked for lots of different shapes and sizes - I had always thought they wouldn't do for me, not being thin.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [5:59:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> It was a lot of fun. This crowd is almost all SCA people, so we know from history.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:00:18 PM EST] <Demercia> It sounds great.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:00:19 PM EST] <Revanne> Going to say goidnight as I gave to wake DH up at 2am to do mt
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:00:33 PM EST] <Shiral_> Night, Revanne. Nice to talk to you
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:00:34 PM EST] <bennu> have a good night Revanne
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:00:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> Nope, if you cut it right, it can be very flattering even on not-thin and/or not-tall people, even though tall and thin was the desired silhouette at the time. (The more things change . . . )
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:00:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> Night, Revanne!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:00:45 PM EST] <Demercia> Night.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:00:47 PM EST] <Laurna> Good Night Revanne. Love your 12 days of christmas all over again
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:00:52 PM EST] <Shiral_> Sigh....ain't it the truth, DR!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:00:56 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Sorry I mostly missed you Revanne. Have a good week
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:01:05 PM EST] <Revanne> my Florence Nightingale bit.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:01:08 PM EST] <DesertRose> And accessories make or break A LOT of outfits.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:01:14 PM EST] <Revanne> Thanks.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:01:26 PM EST] <Shiral_> BRB, The Pygmy Lion is being very insistent.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:01:33 PM EST] <KK> God bless, Revanne.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:01:41 PM EST] <Revanne> Night all
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:01:42 PM EST] <Demercia> Yes and I have broken a good few in my time DR&#128512;
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:01:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL, Demercia!

[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:02:23 PM EST] <Laurna> KK if you would love to read a little entertainment a little closer to home. Revanne wrote several of the twelve short stories about the twelve days of Christmas, I would highly recommend them to you. Just just for fun mind you.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:02:51 PM EST] <KK> Are they on the websire?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:02:56 PM EST] <KK> website
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:03:00 PM EST] <Laurna> The first day started here
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:03:12 PM EST] <Laurna> They are s imaginative

[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:03:28 PM EST] <Laurna> I love all 12 stories.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:03:29 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> The stories are delightful. They are there in the fanfic
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:03:34 PM EST] <bennu> what an incredible play by the Seahawks ...
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:03:48 PM EST] <Laurna> How are the seahawks doing.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:04:01 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Tied with the Eagles
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:04:08 PM EST] <Laurna> owwww
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:04:14 PM EST] <bennu> tied score right now 3/3 just a minute 17 to go in the first half
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:04:21 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup, https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?board=121.0 lists all the stories, out of order because of replies.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:04:34 PM EST] <Demercia> Demercia does a mental leap from following the Test Match &#128514;
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:04:42 PM EST] <bennu> but looks like the first TD might be Seattle
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:05:31 PM EST] <Laurna> My brotherinlaw is a seahawks fan
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:05:45 PM EST] <bennu> my youngest son is one as well
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:03 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Seahawks just scored
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:08 PM EST] <Demercia> Is this super bowl?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:08 PM EST] <Laurna> yah
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:14 PM EST] <KK> I was at a friend's house last night, and watched a football game; her husband is a serious fan. It was interesting. Texas vs. Patriots, I think.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> Not yet, Demercia. Playoffs.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:19 PM EST] <Laurna> First playoff games
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:24 PM EST] <bennu> no its the playoffs wild card game
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:31 PM EST] <Demercia> Okay. Thanks
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:32 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> No. playoffs leading to the superbowl
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:37 PM EST] <KK> Mine last night was a Wild Card.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:06:54 PM EST] <bennu> and Seattle gets a TD
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:07:00 PM EST] * bennu dances a happy dance
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:07:09 PM EST] <Laurna> haha
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:07:10 PM EST] <Demercia> TD?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:07:15 PM EST] <Laurna> Touchdown
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:07:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> touchdown.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:07:22 PM EST] <bennu> touchdown
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:07:23 PM EST] <DesertRose> Worth six points.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:07:31 PM EST] <Demercia> Thanks
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:07:50 PM EST] <bennu> and extra point kick is Good!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:08:21 PM EST] <Laurna> You know that game that ten lords a leaping played on the Glouchester lawn in 1390. Well sort of that game, sort of not but a game non the less
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:08:47 PM EST] <Demercia> A bit like when we were trying to explain the rules of cricket to my niece's German boyfriend &#128513;
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:08:48 PM EST] <Shiral_> Back, quiet has fallen now that the wild little beasts are fed
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:09:42 PM EST] <Demercia> Poor starving beasts
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:10:55 PM EST] <KK> Cricket rules. Gaaaaah! Cameron played at his secondary school in Ireland, but he was never able to ex-plain it to us. Not sure he evenunderstoodd them all. He said he just went and stood where he was told.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:11:50 PM EST] <Demercia> Johannes gave up when he discovered that you could play a game lasting five days and it was still a draw
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:11:55 PM EST] <Shiral_> Well....not a bad way to handle it, KK
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:12:39 PM EST] <Shiral_> Poor Starving Beasts lead the life of Riley. I mean....WHAT are they contributing to keeping the house clean or the bills paid, around here? =o)
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:13:23 PM EST] <bennu> and now it;s half time 10 seattle, 3 philly
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:13:54 PM EST] <Shiral_> It becomes clearer how JK Rowling thought up the rules for Quidditch
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:14:17 PM EST] <Demercia> &#128512;
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:14:23 PM EST] <Laurna> I can not imagin a house with out beasts. I mean if you drop food acentnly on the floor you never have to clean it up yourself. they are kind of like a maid in that way.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:15:28 PM EST] <bennu> my beast doesnt eat much that drops to the floor. she is very picky
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:15:29 PM EST] <Shiral_> Oh, I have to have animal company too, Laurna. Dmitri never channel surfs when we watch TV. AND he was very good about not disturbing my itty bitty Christmas Tree.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:15:45 PM EST] <KK> Especially dogs. They'll even clean up cat barf. (Think about it. If they'll raid the cat box for crunchies, cat barf is a treat!)
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:16:05 PM EST] <Demercia> I think I had better follow my sister's example and say goodnight. Thanks for early chat and catch you all in February.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:16:07 PM EST] <bennu> yeah dogs will clean up anything ... very gross
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:16:15 PM EST] <Shiral_> Of course, I did have the fire screen around it for protection. =o) Tree looked like it was doing Hard Time.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:16:15 PM EST] <bennu> night Demercia
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:16:26 PM EST] <KK> Nighters Demercia. Thanks for joining us.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:16:29 PM EST] <Shiral_> Night, Demercia. Nice talking to you
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:16:31 PM EST] <Laurna> Ladies and Gentelmen. have a great twelth night. See someone knighted in your house, even if it be the cat or dog. and I shall see you all on the Forum later this week.

[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:17:09 PM EST] <Laurna> I am off to dance class
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:17:13 PM EST] <bennu> night Laurna
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:17:21 PM EST] <Shiral_> Night, Laurna
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:17:23 PM EST] <Laurna> Good night
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:17:23 PM EST] <KK> What kind of dancing, Laurna?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:17:45 PM EST] <Laurna> Country and regency dancing
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:17:53 PM EST] <Laurna> mostly regency
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:17:54 PM EST] <KK> Cool!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:17:58 PM EST] <KK> Enjoy.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:17:59 PM EST] <Shiral_> Alas, I don't believe there will be any knightings at my house any time soon. Especially if only a knight can make a knight
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:18:00 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Night DEmerica. Have fun dancing Laurna.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:18:11 PM EST] <Laurna> Thank you Happy Twelth night everyone
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:18:16 PM EST] <Shiral_> Night, Laurna
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:18:34 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Happy 12th night, all!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:19:06 PM EST] <Shiral_> I know my brother and his girlfriend Colleen spent New Year's Eve at a Scottish dance party. Alan even owns a kilt
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:19:26 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Cool!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:20:10 PM EST] <Shiral_> He had a NYE dinner with my mother in December 2018, and came in his kilt. He caused quite a sensation at Channing House.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:20:39 PM EST] <Shiral_> He was on his way to that year's Scottish Dance Party after dinner
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:20:40 PM EST] <KK> Almost any man looks good in a kilt. Or dinner clothes.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:20:57 PM EST] <Shiral_> It's a very flattering look, yes.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:21:29 PM EST] <Shiral_> Although in both cases, getting dressed is a bit of a job. Helps if you have a valet, I'd think
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:23:17 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> I think the kilt would be harder. I liked the way Dhugal did it.. laid it out on the floor first.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:23:57 PM EST] <KK> That's what you have to do, if the pleats aren't sewn down. And that was an 18th century innovation.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:24:16 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Kilts are more fun, all that discussion about what is or is not underneath.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:24:45 PM EST] <KK> For most men, nothing is worn; it's all in perfectly good working order. ;-)
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:26:09 PM EST] <Shiral_> Sedina always had a soft spot in her heart for a man wearing a kilt
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:26:29 PM EST] <bennu> yes she did
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:27:53 PM EST] <KK> Scott was wearing a kilot the first night we met.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:27:57 PM EST] <KK> kilt
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:28:25 PM EST] <Shiral_> McMillan Tartan, correct?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:28:34 PM EST] <KK> Of course.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:29:01 PM EST] <DesertRose> PJ is sitting in my stepdad's recliner, grooming herself, and she's righted it now, but a minute ago she was grooming her tummy with seemingly no care for the fact that her left ear was inside out, LOL.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:29:49 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Inside out ears never seem to bother them
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:29:53 PM EST] <Shiral_> My mother and Aunt went on a trip to the UK in 1949. THey were very disappointed to find o ut that not only were the Crawfords a lowland clan, they had a very unattractive tartan. They were planning to buy a kilt for my grandfather, but fell back on getting him a tie, instead.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:30:13 PM EST] <DesertRose> Unless a person turned the ear inside out; if the ear gets turned inside out on its own, fine.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:31:27 PM EST] <Shiral_> Dmitri loves a good ear scritch, but makes it plain he doesn't appreciate it if I touch his actual ears
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:32:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys is the same; scritch between and below her ears all you like, but don't touch the ears themselves.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:32:33 PM EST] <KK> I'm sure their ears are very sensitive.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:32:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> She's also selective about allowing chin scritches. Don't do it if she doesn't offer you her chin.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:34:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'm just lucky she hasn't had a recurrence of ear mites; she had them when I adopted her, and those first few days were an adventure between pain meds (for her spay) and ear drops for the mites.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:34:18 PM EST] <Shiral_> Sometimes I can't resist picking up Tati, but she turns into an Olympic champion squirmer as soon as I o
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:34:19 PM EST] <Shiral_> do
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:34:38 PM EST] <Shiral_> But let her choose her moment and she's absolutely happy to sit in my lap
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:35:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys mostly likes to be picked up and held. She's a very snuggly cat. I'm having to relearn to type with her on my left arm now that I have a functioning desktop computer again.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:36:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> That's her spot: back feet on my lower chest/upper belly, forefeet over my left forearm near the elbow.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:36:24 PM EST] <Shiral_> Francesca was more of a cuddle-cat. Tati is more independent.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:37:05 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Murray is a snuggly cat but only on his terms
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:37:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> Layla is independent, but she'll let you hold her if you rock her. She also loves to be petted, so she's not standoffish, just independent.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:37:15 PM EST] <Shiral_> Dmitri stops work by sitting on the mouse pad AND the mouse
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:37:20 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:37:51 PM EST] <Shiral_> As a kitten, he used to fit on the mouse pad. But he's a great big hulking cat, now
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:37:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys will do that by standing on the desk between me and the monitor so that I can't see much or any of it; that means "Pay attention to ME, Mama."
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:37:57 PM EST] <KK> Gus refused to be held upside-down like a baby. But he's a lap snuggler.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:38:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> If I catch Carys in the right mood, I can hold her tummy-up and even brush her belly. But I have to plan carefully, LOL.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:38:48 PM EST] <Shiral_> I think cats dislike it because they feel very vulnerable in that position.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:39:08 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yeah, it's a trust/safety thing.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:39:08 PM EST] <Shiral_> Dmitri loves a tummy rub when he's very sleepy and relaxed
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:39:18 PM EST] <bennu> kags isnt a lap cat. all snuggling is on her terms only
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:40:27 PM EST] <DesertRose> PJ isn't a lap cat, but Merlin likes my stepdad's lap or the space between his feet on the recliner footrest.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:40:43 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> My DD adopted a feral cat but he is very laid back and lets her hold him upside down.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:41:28 PM EST] <Shiral_> When I'm in my comfy TV chair, Cmitri will sit in my lap on top of the pillow, but he has to walk back and forth a few times before he settles.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:41:39 PM EST] <Shiral_> Dmitri, that is'
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:42:16 PM EST] <Shiral_> Sounds like your DD's cat may have been a house cat at some earlier point.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:45:02 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> He is a very Type B personality cat
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:46:39 PM EST] <Shiral_> Yes, but not many Feral cats are that trusting.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:46:56 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> True. He is unique
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:47:50 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Where is bynw tonight?
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:49:12 PM EST] <KK> bynw is also bennu, and I think he has 2 computers going, multi-tasking.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:49:21 PM EST] <Shiral_> And football viewing
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:49:32 PM EST] <bennu> yes

[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:57:37 PM EST] <derynifank_wt769a> Seahawks lead 17 to 9
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:58:37 PM EST] <Shiral_> Doesn't sound like it's Philadelphia's day
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:58:43 PM EST] <KK> Well, on that note, I think I'm going to sign off for now. See you next week at our usual time.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:58:55 PM EST] <Shiral_> NIght KK. Have a good week.

[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:59:18 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:59:28 PM EST] <KK> Happy New Year to All!
[Sunday, January 5, 2020] [6:59:34 PM EST] <DesertRose> Happy New Year!
