The Worlds of Katherine Kurtz

Quote from: tmcd on July 02, 2025, 06:40:02 PMIs it possible to insert an image from your own hard drive, or do you have to upload it to a site like Tumblr and then use "Insert an image" (which appears to accept only a URL)?

i found that i had to host it elsewhere and use the url!

I love this.

(I didn't actually stop reading, I just took a break to make this. I never fail to be utterly floored by the prologue)

Love it. We are all for silly stuff here.

[16:44] <DeryniBot> Paddy flies down from the bell tower to greet KK
[16:44] <Duke_of_bad_examples> im in the USA too
[16:44] <Bynw> WHOOOT Katherine!!!!
[16:44] <Shiral> Hello, Katherine! Happy New Year
[16:45] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, Katherine
[16:45] <Debbie-VB> Hi Katherine
[16:45] <Duke_of_bad_examples> hi katherine
[16:45] <KK> Hello, and Happy New Year!
[16:45] <the_Bee> Hello Katherine
[16:45] <Tieg> greetings Katherine
[16:45] <Debbie-VB> Happy (hic) New Year right back
[16:45] <Duke_of_bad_examples> wow, finally get 2 meet u
[16:45] <Shiral> How has 2004 treated you so far, KK?
[16:45] <KK> Well, other than my computer having been Cameronized over
the Christmas holiday....
[16:45] <Shiral> Debbie, that's enough champagne for you!
[16:45] <Christophle> I'm in Lancishire. Which is Just over the Irish
sea from Co Wicklow. And the Irony is That I've Been going ape for the
books and KK is just over the water from me!!!!
[16:46] <Christophle> Hi Katherine
[16:46] <wrengl> hi katherine
[16:46] <wrengl> happy new year
[16:46] <Debbie-VB> ???Cameronised? did he expropriate it while
home?
[16:46] <KK> Well, hello and welcome, Christophle!
[16:46] <Shiral> Christophle just discovered the chat room and the
website, KK
[16:47] <Christophle> Hi Katherine, I've just found the web site &
chat room
[16:47] <KK> He upgraded my Windows ME to 2000, plus my Norton, and in
the process set all kinds of high-ranking security settings, so that
for a while, I could hardly even pick up e-mail.
[16:47] <Christophle> Opss
[16:47] <the_Bee> Duke was here once before, setting bad examples ;-)
[16:48] <Shiral> Sounds serious, KK =o)
[16:48] <Bynw> well going from Windows ME to 2k is a good thing
[16:48] * the_Bee is still on windows 98
[16:48] <Debbie-VB> Even Micro$oft brass admit ME was a POS
[16:48] <KK> I thought I had it sorted out, but just now, I had a
devil of a time even getting online. Had to go through my dialup,
then through my MIRC icon. Ordinarily, I can just double-click on the
icon, and it prompts me to connect.
[16:49] <wrengl> i went from 98 to XP in 2002
[16:49] <the_Bee> Debbie: who??
[16:49] <Christophle> xp is fab
[16:49] <wrengl> yes
[16:49] <wrengl> i like it
[16:49] <Duke_of_bad_examples> grrr, stupid tea
[16:49] <KK> I understand that ME is no longer supported, as of Jan.
1--so I sort of had to upgrade.
[16:49] <Bynw> XP is good ... ME is junk
[16:49] <Duke_of_bad_examples> me was the xp prototype that made it to
market
[16:49] * Sedina has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:49] <DeryniBot> Sedina has caught a rare Lehr cat and enters the
chat with it on a leash
[16:50] <Shiral> Hi Sedina
[16:50] <KK> But I understand that upgrading from ME to XP can cause
problems.
[16:50] <Debbie-VB> Hi Sedina
[16:50] <wrengl> hi sedina
[16:50] <Sedina> hello
[16:50] <Duke_of_bad_examples> ya, hi
[16:50] <KK> Hi, Sedina.
[16:50] <Bynw> hiyas cuz
[16:50] <Christophle> Hi
[16:50] <Debbie-VB> I had no problems upgrading from ME to WP
[16:50] <Shiral> Upgrades can make you tear your hair out
[16:50] <Debbie-VB> XP
[16:50] <wrengl> i had to do the upgrade because 98 would not work
with my dsl
[16:51] <wrengl> did you get any writing done, katherine?
[16:51] <KK> Big problem was that 2000 wiped out my address book--but
he was able to retrieve it with a program he pulled off the
internet--for $30!
[16:51] <KK> I lost all my filed e-mail messages, though.
[16:51] * Debbie-VB thinks back to her first computer, a half-a-beast
running on 98
[16:51] <Shiral> Thank goodness, KK!
[16:51] <wrengl> i am actually working on Chapter 6!
[16:51] <wrengl> that happened to me when i upgraded
[16:51] <Shiral> Is that like Eric the Half-a bee, debbie?
[16:52] * wrengl remembers her first computer -- a tandy 1000ex with
no hard drive
[16:52] <Debbie-VB> no, in this case it was a 333 mega-hertz processor
[16:52] <Duke_of_bad_examples> lol
[16:52] <KK> My first was an Apple IIe.
[16:52] <Christophle> Katherine I was tellin' the room that I've JUST
managed to get your books again after a gap of about ten years 'cause
the stopped printing them here in the UK.
[16:53] <KK> I need to get more memory for my laptop. He insisted on
upgrading it, too--even though I never go online with it, and only use
it for word processing.
[16:53] <wrengl> glad you found them and us christophle
[16:53] <Shiral> Cameron out of control!
[16:53] <wrengl> lol
[16:53] <Christophle> Athough I'm waiting for " King Javans year"
[16:53] <Debbie-VB> Chris, they stopped printing them in the US too.
Most of katherine's catalogue is out of print right now :-(
[16:53] <KK> Cameron definitely has a mind of his own.
[16:53] <Shiral> And glad that KK managed to join us, today
[16:53] <wrengl> computer geek goes home to visit the folks
[16:53] <wrengl> i see a story in that
[16:53] <the_Bee> does XP make dial-up or modem connections work any
faster/better?
[16:53] <Duke_of_bad_examples> nah
[16:54] <KK> I think I've got spare copies of King Javan's Year,
Christophle.
[16:54] <KK> Yep, Wrengl.
[16:54] <Christophle> Ohhhh......
[16:54] * Shiral hands KK a cup of hot, perfectly brewed virtual Earl
Grey
[16:54] <wrengl> bee, one of the problems with XP is that some of the
old programs do not work with it
[16:54] <Shiral> BRB
[16:54] <Duke_of_bad_examples> im drinking yoga tea... has some sort
of enlightening herb in it
[16:54] <Christophle> Oh earl gray!!!! Shades of Picard there?
[16:54] <Debbie-VB> Pat's that's called planned obsolescence
[16:55] <wrengl> lol
[16:55] <wrengl> indeed
[16:55] <KK> For those unaware, Cameron is my son; works in network
security in Los Angeles.
[16:55] <the_Bee> most of the programs on my desktop, I haven't a clue
what they're for
[16:55] * Kiri` has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:55] <DeryniBot> Paddy flies down from the bell tower to greet
Kiri`
[16:55] <wrengl> although i found drivers for the soundcard, printer
and scanner
[16:55] <Kiri`> afternoon everyone
[16:55] <wrengl> hi kiri
[16:55] * Bynw is gonna have to step away from the computer screen ...
migraine causing problems
[16:55] <Debbie-VB> I have been discovering how to use Word 2000
[16:55] <wrengl> then i dumped the printer and bought a new one anyway
[16:55] <Kiri`> oh poor bynw. go take care hi to tika!
[16:55] * the_Bee sends bynw migraine-relief woodgies
[16:55] <wrengl> i have the equivalent of Office Premium 2000
[16:56] <KK> Hi, Kiri. I started manicuring the DC files over the
holidays; got through about 6 chapters on first pass.
[16:56] <Kiri`> wow. nice going.
[16:56] <Christophle> Katherine, How do you like Co Wicklow. My family
tree is from Co Cavern.
[16:56] <Shiral> Hi Kiri
[16:56] <KK> Also, I finally have the starting point for the new book,
and even a few pages written.
[16:57] <Debbie-VB> YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY
[16:57] <Duke_of_bad_examples> how is the castle Katherine?
[16:57] <KK> Wicklow is beautiful; the Garden of Ireland.
[16:57] <Kiri`> can I ask what your starting point is?
[16:57] <Shiral> Excellent, KK!
[16:57] <Shiral> Good question, Kiri!
[16:57] <KK> The west wing of the castle now has a roof!
[16:57] <Christophle> FAB
[16:57] <Sedina> wonderful, Katherine
[16:57] <Kiri`> duke of bad examples? oh love it! *grins at the
nickname
[16:57] <Shiral> Marvelosity about the roof
[16:57] <Duke_of_bad_examples> lol, long story
[16:57] <KK> And today we discovered that the fireplace on the 1st
floor (2nd, to US folk) <is> connected to a still-working chimney.
[16:57] <Shiral> KK, I now have a copy of the Russian edition of
Deryni Tales. =o)
[16:58] <Kiri`> Katheirne - any idea when you'll need the last one?
[16:58] <the_Bee> are you the same duke i fought a duel arcane with?
[16:58] <Kiri`> Katherine - that's good news.. working fireplace! =)
[16:58] * Bynw is now known as Bynw[migraine-bbl]
[16:58] <Duke_of_bad_examples> yep
[16:58] <Shiral> Poor Bynw
[16:58] <Bynw[migraine-bbl]> tika is on vacation .... in vegas
[16:58] <wrengl> neat about the fireplace katherine
[16:58] <KK> Woo-hoo! <I> don't even have that yet, Shiral!
[16:58] <Shiral> I haff my sources, Dahlink!
[16:58] <Kiri`> shiral i want to see that. it's on my *list* of items
to get!
[16:58] * Bynw[migraine-bbl] goes to lie down
[16:58] <KK> Not for at least 6 mo., Kiri--though sooner is better
than later.
[16:59] <wrengl> take care bynw
[16:59] <Kiri`> Katherine ok. i'll have it ready when you're ready
for it.. =)
[16:59] <Shiral> It's quite thick, a hardcover book, and it has
attractive cover art that appears entirely unrelated to the Tales =o)
[16:59] <Shiral> It's quite amusing to see the familiar map with all
Russian writing for the place names
[17:00] <KK> I'll bet.
[17:00] <Duke_of_bad_examples> lol
[17:00] * Kiri` puts down hot tea, clotted cream and scones and
repostulates the phrase.. so what is your starting point? *sits back
all ears*
[17:00] <KK> I expect I'll receive my copies very soon.
[17:00] <the_Bee> shiral, do you read Russian?
[17:00] <Shiral> "Meara" looks like "MeaPa"
[17:00] <Shiral> No, Bee
[17:00] <Christophle> I like the cover pic of the hardback version of
" Harrowing..."
[17:00] <Debbie-VB> But wait till you get it translated and find out
that it is now Gwennedski
[17:00] <Shiral> But I'm a compulsive completist
[17:00] <Kiri`> shiral.. it's your work in there.. you Should have a
copy! =)
[17:00] <Shiral> I agree, Kiri
[17:02] <Duke_of_bad_examples> well, i got 2 go... its been short and
interisting KK... i hope 2 see u again!
[17:02] <KK> Three years after the infamous 12th Night when Septimus
colluded in the death of Krispin, as his brother Bishop Oliver kneels
at his grave and nurses bitterness toward Deryni in general and Alyce
in particular.
[17:02] <Shiral> There is an English title page, facing the Russian
title page, and the occasional identifying English sentence, but
otherwise it's all Russain
[17:02] <Christophle> shiral, you are not the Liverpudlian one from "
Deryni tales"
[17:02] <Shiral> Bye Duke of bad Examples
[17:02] * Duke_of_bad_examples Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[17:02] <Kiri`> nice seeing you duke of be!
[17:02] <wrengl> Katherine the Three Kings left us a triple surprise
this year
[17:02] <Shiral> Uh-oh, Katherine... <G>
[17:03] <Kiri`> Katherine - ooh sounds good.
[17:03] <Shiral> No, but I am in the Tales, Christophle
[17:03] <Shiral> "Dhugal at Court" is my story
[17:03] <KK> Not three kittens, I hope?
[17:03] <Debbie-VB> A triple surprise pat?
[17:03] <Kiri`> which was chosen over "Dhugal at the Spa" *flees*
[17:03] <wrengl> you got it, katherine
[17:03] * Tieg Quit (User has been mind-ripped)
[17:03] * Tieg2 has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:03] <DeryniBot> Tieg2 has caught a rare Lehr cat and enters the
chat with it on a leash
[17:03] <Christophle> Got you EM
[17:03] <Shiral> BAD Kiri, no Biscuit!
[17:03] <KK> You're kidding!
[17:03] <wrengl> Gold, Frankenscense, and Myrrh!
[17:04] <wrengl> a brown tabby, a light silver, and a silver
[17:04] <Kiri`> but i can't have the biscuit anyway! =)
[17:04] <KK> KIttens in the appropriate colours?
[17:04] <Kiri`> giggles
[17:04] <Shiral> Three Kittens? Have I missed something?
[17:04] <wrengl> yes, shiral
[17:04] <Kiri`> pat wow! congrats!
[17:04] <KK> Ooooh! Cute!
[17:04] <wrengl> Madam presented us with three kittens
[17:04] <KK> How old?
[17:04] <Shiral> Awww...I just luv wittle kitties...
[17:04] <the_Bee> how'd you get them?
[17:05] <wrengl> complete with the M on their foreheads
[17:05] <Debbie-VB> how are thumper and Gromett taking to the idea?
[17:05] <wrengl> little mary Kittens
[17:05] <Kiri`> awwww
[17:05] * Shiral has a soft spot for tabbies..
[17:05] <wrengl> Madam got raped, Bee
[17:05] <Shiral> Oh dear...
[17:05] <Kiri`> isn't that just always the way
[17:05] * Debbie-VB has a soft spot for kittens, period
[17:05] <the_Bee> are you sure is wasn't consensual?
[17:05] <KK> They don't usually birth kittens in the dead of
winter--speaking of which, I understand you guys are having quite a
one.
[17:05] <Christophle> Little mar kittens??? Am I missin' some thing
[17:06] * Shiral sends ear scritches to all Holybrook kitties
[17:06] <the_Bee> Wrengl's cat had kittens
[17:06] <Debbie-VB> We actually had SNOW here in Vancouver!!!!!!!!!
[17:06] <Kiri`> is snow in vancouver unsual?
[17:06] <KK> I understand that Boston set a new record.
[17:06] <wrengl> tabby kittens, christophle, have an M on their
foreheads
[17:06] <the_Bee> Yup
[17:06] <Shiral> Right over their eyes and the bridges of their noses
[17:06] <wrengl> supposed to be mary's kittens or something like that
[17:06] <KK> And M is for Mary--so they're Marian kittens.
[17:07] <Debbie-VB> Actually we usually get one snowfall a year, which
brings everything to a standstill
[17:07] <Kiri`> oh tha'ts what that means.. i thought perhaps it mean
little girl kittens or somethign
[17:07] <wrengl> yes it got down to 1F here yesterday morning
[17:07] <the_Bee> supposed to warm up
[17:07] <KK> What genders?
[17:07] <Shiral> No snow here, but the end of December and the
beginning of January were unusually chilly for us
[17:07] <wrengl> do not know yet
[17:07] <Christophle> oh right... sorry never had a cat. I was on a
totally different tangent!!!
[17:08] <KK> When were they actually born?
[17:08] <Shiral> Cats tend to crop up often around here, Christophle
[17:08] <wrengl> and she moved them amongst the boxes in the Maid's
Room next to the kitchen so we cannot get at them now
[17:08] <KK> Yup, most of us are cat fans.
[17:08] <wrengl> actually 7 january
[17:08] <Shiral> How do you feel about Chocolate, Christophle? That's
another popular topic around here =o)
[17:08] <wrengl> but close enough, just took the kings longer to get
to our house
[17:09] <Christophle> AGH... can't stand it!!
[17:09] <the_Bee> My sister's cat insisted on raising her kittens in
the drawer where Mom kept the cleaning rags
[17:09] <wrengl> lol
[17:09] <wrengl> sounds like a cat
[17:09] <KK> Then, they'd be--er--triskadecath night kittens.
[17:09] <Kiri`> this was a bit amusing.. my current back doctor siad
that perhaps i should consider going down to San Diego and working
with the dolphons and whales.. she's never had a patient who's got
such rapport with animals before (as the office dog scratched on the
exam room door)
[17:10] <wrengl> madam moved them first from their birthing spot to
Spook's Hidey Hole
[17:10] <Christophle> Ahm...Shiral. I'm I still in the right place if
I've never had a cat and dont eat Chocalate??
[17:10] <Kiri`> yes chris.. =)
[17:10] <wrengl> so kathi made spook a fleece nest by a radiator
[17:10] <Shiral> Yeah, you'll do. You love the Deryni books, and
that's the main thing
[17:10] <Debbie-VB> Don't worry Pat, she'll present them when she
thinks they are ready
[17:11] <Christophle> Whew...
[17:11] <wrengl> spook took one look at her grandkittens and ran the
other way
[17:11] <Shiral> A person of questionable taste, perhaps, but if you
enjoy the books, it's all cool. =o)
[17:11] <the_Bee> Peeps are an acceptable alternative to chocolate.
And Wrengl is a dog-lover AND a cat-lover
[17:11] <Christophle> Ta
[17:11] <KK> Adult cats who are not the mom usually think kittens are
some alien life form, created to annoy them.
[17:11] <wrengl> or she thinks, WE are ready
[17:11] <wrengl> or deserving
[17:11] <Kiri`> grins at KK"s comment
[17:12] <wrengl> yes indeed
[17:12] * jp has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:12] <DeryniBot> jp uses a Transfer Portal to join the chat in
#Deryni_Destinations
[17:12] <Shiral> So when the new book opens, Alaric is out of his
infancy, then, KK?
[17:12] <KK> Hi, JP.
[17:12] <wrengl> hi jp
[17:12] <Debbie-VB> Come to think of it, that describes most adult
human's reactions to young children that are not thirs
[17:12] <the_Bee> hi jp
[17:12] <Shiral> Hi JP
[17:12] <Christophle> Questionable taste!
[17:12] <wrengl> verra true debbie
[17:12] <jp> evening all
[17:13] <Sedina> speaking of kittens, I'll brb... Bueller has managed
to lose his toy mouse under the stove and he's going to keep up his
pathetic meowing until I get it out for him
[17:13] <KK> Yep, but Bronwyn is not yet conceived.
[17:13] <Kiri`> i see Beuller has Sedina trained..
[17:13] <Shiral> Well, one kid at a time. I'm sure Alaric was enough
for any parents to handle
[17:13] <wrengl> lol shiral
[17:13] <Christophle> Is this the first Childe Morgan Book?
[17:13] <Shiral> Bueller?
[17:13] <the_Bee> second
[17:13] <wrengl> just because Kelric is at least eight
handfuls.........
[17:13] <KK> This is the second one I'm just beginning; first one came
out in November.
[17:13] <Debbie-VB> second childe Morgan book. ITKS was #1
[17:14] <the_Bee> first is In the King's Service, out last November
[17:14] <wrengl> In The Kings Service, Chris
[17:14] <Christophle> right
[17:14] <Shiral> Hey, Pat, Kelric obviously got it from his dad. =o)
[17:14] <wrengl> lol
[17:14] <Christophle> got it last week from the US
[17:14] <Debbie-VB> as long as you keep alaric away from the honey jar
[17:14] <wrengl> good
[17:14] <Kiri`> knowing alaric.. he'd have charmed the bees in the
hive!
[17:15] <Kiri`> or is that duncan
[17:15] <Sedina> back...for now, until he knocks it back under the
stove again
[17:15] <wrengl> lol
[17:15] <Shiral> When did you get Bueller, Sedina?
[17:15] <Sedina> Shiral - Bueller (according to my sister) is my
nephew and my mother's grandkitty
[17:15] <jp> I hope that stove's not hot
[17:15] <Shiral> Ah
[17:15] <Sedina> he's just visiting...much to the relief of the girls
[17:16] <wrengl> so Bueller is back visiting, sedina
[17:16] <jp> do you have a cat named Ferris too
[17:16] <wrengl> just ask the girls -- he visits too often
[17:16] <Sedina> oh yeah...and he's surpassed Sadie in size. He's
taller and longer than she is, so he really can pin her now when they
play
[17:16] <the_Bee> LOL
[17:16] * Debbie-VB has a sudden vision of a cat with little kitty
luggage
[17:16] <Shiral> And Donal would be approaching the end of his reign,
I surmise...
[17:17] <Sedina> jp - my sister likes that movie and named him Bueller
just because she wanted to be able to call his name like Ben Stein
does
[17:17] <KK> Yes, but that's still a couple of years away.
[17:17] <jp> KK, why did you decide NOT to have Alaric be Donal's
childe?
[17:18] <Shiral> My friend Judy has a VERY large cat named Sage who
runs her house with an iron paw
[17:18] <KK> Kenneth turned out to be far more noble than I'd
expected, and I just couldn't let him be cuckolded.
[17:18] <jp>
[17:18] <Debbie-VB> IIRC, Brion was about 4 at the end of Kings
Service, so three years later he'd be 7 which means that Donal's got
about 7 yrs left
[17:18] * Kiri` is glad to hear that
[17:18] <Christophle> and do we find out what happens to Donels
children. OTHER than Brion and Nigel
[17:18] <Shiral> I'm glad for Kenneth and Alyce's sake =o)
[17:18] <the_Bee> extremely noble, if he and Alyce were that willing
to forgive Donal
[17:18] <KK> Nope, Brion was older than that.
[17:19] <Shiral> Brion was about nine
[17:19] * jp Such a lovely couple
[17:19] <Debbie-VB> My mistake. Me Bad
[17:19] <KK> We find out about some of them.
[17:19] <Shiral> No Debbie good, just can't count
[17:20] <Kiri`> any thoughts on Jiri?
[17:20] <RainbowDragon> Jiri?
[17:20] <jp> Debbie must have ex-display rental fingers to count on
[17:20] <Shiral> Redfearn
[17:20] <Christophle> oh. And will there be books to bridge " Bastard
prince " to " Deryni Rising"
[17:20] <KK> Bastard Prince to ITKS--yes, eventually.
[17:20] <Debbie-VB> We are hoping
[17:21] <Shiral> Major Coolness!
[17:21] <Christophle> FAB
[17:21] <Kiri`> ok so that 3 year sabbatical in Bali will be for the
orin jodotha books? *giggle*
[17:21] <Debbie-VB> 'course, we've got a list of books for katherine
to write that is about a mile long
[17:21] <Christophle> Still wondering who Duncan and Morgan are
decended from..
[17:21] <Kiri`> honestly i think we have her earmarked into the next
century..
[17:22] <KK> Bali is probably one of the <least> likely places I would
ever take a sabbatical; too hot!
[17:22] <Christophle> I.E Jerusha Or Tieg
[17:22] <jp> we may have to help with the task
[17:22] <the_Bee> Live Long and Prosper, Katherine!
[17:22] <Kiri`> KK - well yeah.. but it sure *looks* pretty
[17:22] <Shiral> Katherine, you've got too much writing to do to take
a Sabbatical! =o)
[17:22] <RainbowDragon> :-)
[17:22] <KK> I shall try to do both!
[17:23] * Shiral gives KK the Vulcan salute
[17:23] <the_Bee> Christophle: I thought it was Riesel
[17:23] <jp> don't go growing pointy ears though
[17:23] <Shiral> Oh, pointy ears are rather...distinctive
[17:23] <Christophle> nope shes not a healer
[17:23] <Christophle> its Jerusha
[17:23] <Shiral> Ah, but she could carry Healer genes
[17:24] <the_Bee> but she may carry a recessive Healer gene
[17:24] <Christophle> Oh. latent...
[17:24] <Kiri`> she needs to relax.. where better than somewhere nice
that she doen't have builders and all that where she can relax and
.. =)
[17:24] <Christophle> or recessive?
[17:24] <Shiral> Quiet, soothing surroundings that make it easy to
concentrate....
[17:24] <KK> I think I'd better sign off now. They're coming
tomorrow, early, to cut two doors in the back--big granite-cutting
machines that clamp onto the side of the building. It will probably
be the scariest day of the build.
[17:24] <Kiri`> yikes!
[17:24] <Shiral> And noisiest, too!
[17:24] <Sedina> oh my gosh
[17:25] <Debbie-VB> Tranquilise the fur-kids
[17:25] <jp> enjoy
[17:25] <Kiri`> escape to dublin!
[17:25] <Shiral> Well, Happy New year, and Happy New Book, Katherine!
Write well and build well
[17:25] <Christophle> Try gran canaria. 4 hours from the UK and fab
QUIET beaches
[17:25] <Kiri`> take care katheirne!
[17:25] <Tieg2> best wishes
[17:25] <the_Bee> Hope you have earplugs---for humans and fur-folks
[17:25] <KK> They won't hear it inside--and it gets water sprayed on
the cut while they're doing it. Still, should be fascinating.
[17:25] <Debbie-VB> Thanks for stopping bye Katherine
[17:25] <RainbowDragon> Goodnight, Katherine
[17:25] <Shiral> Thanks for joining us today, as always
[17:25] <Christophle> Bye Katherine
[17:25] <KK> Gran Canaria is also too hot for me!
[17:25] <Debbie-VB> have a great week
[17:25] <Kiri`> scandinavia?
[17:26] <Christophle> I love it!!!!
[17:26] <Shiral> how about the Mediterranean, Katherine? <G>
[17:26] <jp> Lapland
[17:26] <Shiral> A nice villa in the South of France?
[17:26] <Christophle> but I've got other reasons?
[17:26] <the_Bee> a mountain village?
[17:26] <KK> I don't know what it is about Brits and the Irish, always
wanting to flee to hot places and bake in the sun. Having grown up in
So. Florida, I got all that out of my system early, I guess.
[17:26] <Kiri`> a Lakehouse in Geneve?
[17:26] <jp> Rurapente
[17:26] <Shiral> A Swiss Chalet..
[17:27] <Kiri`> north pole.. guest of santa
[17:27] <KK> Cool climes are my favorite.
[17:27] <Shiral> A wee cottage in Scotland...
[17:27] <KK> Hmmm, black and white cat now demanding that I go to bed.
See you next week, folks.
[17:27] <Shiral> Wee, but comfortable and warm
[17:27] <Kiri`> night Katherine!
[17:27] <jp> bye
[17:27] <Shiral> Bye, Katherine!
[17:27] <Sedina> have a good night, Katherine
[17:27] <Christophle> night
[17:27] <Debbie-VB> Nighters, and Sleep Sweet
[17:27] <the_Bee> Skritches to Edward and the others

in a shower of green sparkles.
[17:27] <Shiral> Night, to Edgar, KK

[17:15] <Debbie-VB> Hi Katherine
[17:15] <@Shiral> =o)
[17:15] <.KK> Hi, gang.

[17:15] <Mistyck> hi Katherine!
[17:15] <Bynw> hiyas KK
[17:15] <Sedina> hi, KK
[17:16] <the_Bee> Hello KK
[17:16] <@Shiral> How is everything at Holybrooke?
[17:16] <.KK> Phone was out last weekend; couldn't get on line for
about 5 days.
[17:16] <kirienne> yikes
[17:16] <Mistyck> youch!
[17:16] <@Wrengl> ouch
[17:16] <@Shiral> Frustrating
[17:16] <@Wrengl> i would be having withdrrawal
[17:16] * Debbie-VB grumbles @ faulty phone service
[17:16] <.KK> Fine at Holybrooke. They'll start plastering in the wing
tomorrow.
[17:16] <Bynw> i would be more than having withdrawal
[17:16] <Mistyck> cool!
[17:16] <Tika> omg, talk about DTs!
[17:16] <@Wrengl> neat
[17:17] <.KK> I <was> having withdrawal!
[17:17] <@Shiral> LOL, Tika
[17:17] <@Wrengl> lol
[17:17] <Tika> hehehe
[17:17] <the_Bee> Deryni Tremens?
[17:17] <@Wrengl> Katherine i am seriously working on the novel again
[17:17] <.KK> And it's supposed to snow by Tuesday.
[17:17] <.KK> Ah, good!
[17:17] <@Shiral> That's what Lewys ap Norfal gives the Camberian
Council, Bee
[17:17] <Tika> join the crowd, KK
[17:17] <@Wrengl> snow due here tomorrow and tuesday
[17:17] <kirienne> hope they finish the plastering
[17:18] <Samuel> Tonight into tomorrow morning here!
[17:18] <@Shiral> Fortunately, the wing now has a roof =o)
[17:18] <.KK> I <have> gotten about 10 pages into the Prologue, though.
It hasn't all been wasted motion.
[17:18] <the_Bee> as long as they're plastering and not getting
plastered
[17:18] <kirienne> yippppeeeeee
[17:18] <@Shiral> Excellent news, KK
[17:18] <.KK> The wing has roof, stairs, walls studded, insulated, and
plasterboarded.
[17:18] <@Wrengl> verra good katherine
[17:18] <Ghostgames> Do take care of yourself in the midst of the
plaster dust. I found it aggravated my asthma...
[17:18] <Sedina> excellent
[17:18] <Debbie-VB> Good for you Katherine.
[17:18] <@Shiral> They're really leaping ahead on the wing
[17:18] <.KK> They are very good.
[17:18] <kirienne> that is wonderful
[17:19] <Debbie-VB> Sounds like it is nearlky finished Katherine
[17:19] * leslie has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:19] <@DeryniBot> Returning from the Inner Planes with Adam
Sinclair is leslie
[17:19] <.KK> Oh, and the Honda blew a head gasket Tuesday, so we had
to get another car. Just what we needed.
[17:19] <@Wrengl> wb leslie
[17:19] <@Shiral> Hello Leslie
[17:19] <the_Bee> hi Leslie
[17:19] <@Shiral> Ouch, Katherine!
[17:19] <leslie> hiya
[17:19] <.KK> It's a good thing, because our budget will soon be
finished.
[17:19] <Ghostgames> Oh, joy. :-/
[17:19] <@Shiral> What did you get, KK?
[17:19] <kirienne> my gosh Katherine, I hate when things like that
happen.
[17:19] <@Wrengl> having to buy a new car is not fun
[17:20] <.KK> But we bought a kitchen yesterday for under $1500, not
counting appliances, which we bought the day after Christmas.
[17:20] <@Wrengl> good price
[17:20] <kirienne> cool
[17:20] <kirienne> that is a good price
[17:20] <leslie> 'no matter where i serve my guests....'
[17:20] <Debbie-VB> that sounds like a good price
[17:20] <@Shiral> Especially not when it's an absolute necessity to buy
a new car
[17:20] <.KK> We bought a car that had belonged to a dear friend who
passed away last June. It's a 1992 Opel Vectra, with only 42,000
miles from new.
[17:21] <Ghostgames> Gee, that's less than we paid for our new stove...
(we were restricted in the models we could get, the kitchen design
requires a downdraft, and they're /expensive/!)
[17:21] <kirienne> great deal getting that car Katherine
[17:21] <leslie> what make is the Opel? ford....
[17:21] <@Wrengl> i am looking for a stove but really want a swing out
instead of a drop down oven door
[17:21] <.KK> We still have to get an extractor hood, and sink and
worktops--but the bulk of the buying is now done.
[17:21] <@Shiral> Great
[17:22] <@Wrengl> excellent
[17:22] <.KK> Every time we'd start being picky about details, we'd
have to remind ourselves that this isn't <our> kitchen; it's for the
flat.
[17:22] <.KK> It just has to be nice.
[17:22] <@Shiral> And has to function
[17:22] <kirienne> LOL
[17:22] <@Wrengl> indeed k
[17:22] <.KK> Opel <is> the make. It's German, I think.
[17:22] <Debbie-VB> aw, but being picky about the details is half the
fun ;-)
[17:22] * Mistyck is now known as Any_Monkey
[17:23] <@Shiral> Hey, as long as it runs
[17:23] <leslie> i once had an Omega. my first car
[17:23] <@Wrengl> but you only need to be picky if it is YOURS debbie
[17:23] * Debbie-VB giggles
[17:23] <kirienne> no fun to be picky and not be the one getting to use
it
[17:23] <.KK> 2 litre engine, stick shift, power steering and windows,
power steering, central locking (but not remote-controlled), tilting
sunroof (but not electric).
[17:24] <@Shiral> What color? =o)
[17:24] <leslie> stereo?
[17:24] <.KK> It's in excellent condition; he bought it from new, after
he retired. It will be a good second car when we eventually replace
the Honda with another Honda. But now we have the leisure to look for
just the right Honds.
[17:24] <Duck> something for katherine to go drag racing in along the
streets of dublin
[17:24] <Tika> LOL
[17:25] <.KK> Metallic burgundy.
[17:25] <leslie> lol
[17:25] <@Wrengl> lol
[17:25] <@Shiral> As she loves to do. Really gave me a charge when I
visited
[17:25] <@Wrengl> oooooooooo sounds nice
[17:25] <.KK> Hi, Duck!
[17:25] <Duck> hi katherine
[17:25] <.KK> You never got back to me about those Dublin arch. jobs.
[17:25] <Duck> no - i have been away in the field all last week and
then some
[17:25] <@Shiral> You can't drag very fast anywhere in Dublin, though.
Too many other cars
[17:26] <.KK> Well, when you get around to it, I'm willing to make some
phone calls for you.
[17:26] <Duck> that would be good - i'll have to find the details
again
[17:26] <.KK> OK
[17:26] * @Shiral gives Donald a Round Tuit
[17:27] <@Wrengl> lol
[17:27] <@Wrengl> duck's been busy, shiral
[17:27] <the_Bee> Are there many sites in Ireland that haven't already
been dug up?
[17:27] <Debbie-VB> are their anyother shapes of tuits?
[17:27] <.KK> Yes.
[17:27] <Duck> a fieldwork finisherer would be better shiral
[17:27] <@Shiral> I know, Duck is a multi-talented duck
[17:27] <@Shiral> They were out of stock, Duck
[17:27] <leslie> I've have a bone to pick with In the King's Service :]
[17:27] * Any_Monkey is now known as Misytck
[17:27] <.KK> Which Leslie is that online tomight?
[17:28] <Debbie-VB> oh-oh
[17:28] * Misytck is now known as Mistyck
[17:28] <leslie> in Woodville, Tx
[17:28] <Duck> stop leslie - that bone belongs in the museum
[17:28] <Tika> LOL Duck
[17:28] <@Shiral> Ah, the Tales Leslie
[17:28] <.KK> Oooo! Our Leslie of the story in DT?
[17:28] <leslie> I feel sorry for Ahern
[17:28] <@Wrengl> lol dicl
[17:28] <@Shiral> <snert>
[17:28] <leslie> Yup :}
[17:28] <@Wrengl> you ought to register your name with bynw, leslie
[17:29] <@Wrengl> that way we would always know it was you
[17:29] <leslie> i will
[17:29] <the_Bee> so many characters created just so you can kill them
off, KK
[17:29] <leslie> that puir man
[17:29] <.KK> I was grumbling about you just today. Did you ever cash
your royalty check from back in March of last year?
[17:30] <Mistyck> oops!
[17:30] <leslie> Oops. i'll go look.
[17:30] <Debbie-VB> someone Not cashing a cheque?
[17:30] <@Wrengl> lol
[17:30] <@Shiral> Oops, naughtly Leslie
[17:30] <Duck> she has it framed and on the wall?
[17:31] <@Shiral> naughty
[17:31] <kirienne> LOL
[17:31] <@Shiral> I just scanned mine...
[17:31] <Debbie-VB> got the copy framed and on the wall eh shiral?
[17:31] <leslie> :0
[17:31] <@Shiral> So, has young Alaric got into any mischief yet, KK?
[17:31] <.KK> It just hasn't cleared my account, and I've been carrying
the outstanding amount all this time.
[17:31] <@Shiral> Actually, no. But it's in my computer files, Debbie
=o)
[17:32] <Mistyck> Katherine: I was talking to Leslie last night, we
are in the planning stages of having a "Texas Deryni Get-together" in
the summer of 2004
[17:32] <leslie> yep
[17:32] <.KK> Yes, he doesn't want to wear the new green shoes that go
wtih his new tunic; wants to wear some scruffy old tan ones--but not to
Twelfth Night Court.
[17:32] <@Shiral> LOL
[17:32] <kirienne> LOL
[17:32] <Mistyck> since we have quite a few folks in the
Texas/Louisiana area
[17:32] <@Shiral> Sounds like a typical toddler
[17:32] <Mistyck> lol
[17:32] <.KK> He's 2 and a bit, and is good at saying no.
[17:32] <leslie> but the old ones fit best
[17:33] <Mistyck> yep
[17:33] <kirienne> sounds like our loveable Alaric
[17:33] <@Shiral> ALaric in his terrible twos!
[17:33] <Debbie-VB> most children are good a that at the age of 2
[17:33] <.KK> Well, yes. And he knows he can get at his father, when
his mother is inclined to be more strict.
[17:33] <leslie> does he have a favorite stuffed animal
[17:33] <kirienne> LOL
[17:34] <@Shiral> Aha, so Kenneth is the "soft-hearted" parent =o)
[17:34] <Debbie-VB> like maybe a stuffed green gryphon?
[17:34] <.KK> It hasn't come up yet, but I'm sure he does. And later,
he'll have toy knights and horses.
[17:34] <Mistyck> ooh, cool! Kenneth is a softie!
[17:34] <leslie> what would be a name for a griffon?
[17:34] <kirienne> are plot bunnies nibbling Leslie?
[17:34] <Debbie-VB> Shrek?
[17:35] <@Shiral> Just keep the honey pots away...
[17:35] <@Wrengl> lol shiral
[17:35] <.KK> He's about to go off on his first visit to his future
lands, with his mother and father and Auntie Zoe.
[17:35] <leslie> and the heffalump
[17:36] <@Shiral> So...he's been mostly raised in Rhemuth, thus far?
[17:36] <leslie> wonder how he and Brion hit it off...
[17:36] <Debbie-VB> Bratty little kid?
[17:37] <@Shiral> Vs the cool and much more mature crown Prince Brion?
=o)
[17:37] <the_Bee> at this point, wouldn't the age difference be a bit
much to overcome?
[17:37] <@Wrengl> i would think so
[17:37] <@Wrengl> alaric is a real baby
[17:37] <.KK> No, he's been back and forth between there and Morganhall
and Culdi, but is in Rhemuth for this particular Twelfth Night Court,
when, having gotten through the dangerous first couple of years and
being likely to survive, he's to be presented officially at court. And
Kenneth, though he doesn't know it yet, is about to be made Earl of
Lendour for life.
[17:37] <@Shiral> But perhaps he and Duncan play together?
[17:37] <@Shiral> Cool for Kenneth! =o)
[17:38] <kirienne> Kenneth deserves it I think
[17:38] <the_Bee> He's earned it
[17:38] <@Shiral> Lord yes, he has
[17:38] <@Wrengl> indeed he has
[17:39] * Debbie-VB waits impatiently for
[17:39] <.KK> This makes Alyce Countess of Lendour in name as well as
blood. And realistically, Kenneth isn't apt to be around by the time
Alaric comes of age--and even if he were, he'd be Alaric's vassal,
since Alaric would be Duke.
[17:39] <Debbie-VB> child Morgan to be finished so she can read it
[17:39] <@Shiral> Sensible
[17:39] <the_Bee> How much time does Childe Morgan cover?
[17:40] <@Shiral> Have Duncan and Alaric met, KK?
[17:40] <.KK> Alaric and Duncan have obviously met by this time, but
Duncan is some months younger, so I doubr there's yet much meaningful
interaction.
[17:40] <Debbie-VB> that will change
[17:40] <.KK> But I do know how the Lady chapel comes to be built at
Culdi, and why Alyce ends up buried there.
[17:40] <leslie> is Deryni Rising coming out in hard back again?
[17:40] <@Shiral> Except that maybe Duncan will learn to say "no"
sooner. =o)
[17:41] <Mistyck> Will Alaric teach Duncan all the "fun things to get
in trouble with?"
[17:41] <kirienne> LOL Shiral
[17:41] <.KK> I think it will go thorugh the birth of Kelson.
[17:41] <@Shiral> Oh cool =o)
[17:41] <leslie> i can't wait
[17:41] <.KK> Yes, DR will be hard cover.
[17:41] <Mistyck> really cool!
[17:41] <@Shiral> Whoopeee!!!
[17:41] * @Shiral paws up some turf
[17:41] <leslie> i can finally get at least one set for the high school
[17:41] <Debbie-VB> and I am eagerly waiting for that one to come out
too
[17:42] <the_Bee> But Alyce will be dead in less than 2 years:o(
[17:42] * kirienne dances for joy
[17:42] <.KK> Yes, alas.
[17:42] <Mistyck> but, Vera will be there for the kiddos
[17:42] <@Shiral> Poor Kenneth, he'll miss her
[17:42] <Ghostgames> KK: I sent email to Ginjer asking her when she
needed the new map for the Deryni Rising re-release, but I never heard
back from her. I'd like to customize it to match the Index of Places in
Deryni Rising (as I did for ITKS) -- and also lighten it some more, it
printed too darkly. Should I email her again? Or can you prompt her for
me?
[17:42] <@Shiral> Will Zoe still be around, or does she get married or
die?
[17:43] <.KK> So now I have to build the infrastructure that will
nurture Alaric once she's gone. I have good plans for Zoe in that
regard.
[17:43] <@Shiral> I love the map, Ann, <G> I have it up on my bedroom
door
[17:43] <the_Bee> Hey! Let's save <some> surprises!
[17:43] <@Shiral> Whew
[17:43] <Tika> we had ours laminated
[17:43] <leslie> amazing how medicine has changed
[17:43] <Ghostgames> Thanks, Melissa. And thanks to whoever put a "I
recommend the Eleven Kingdoms Map in addition to In the King's Service"
up on the ITKS amazon.com page. :-)
[17:44] <kirienne> I need to order my mao when budget allows
[17:44] <@Shiral> Oh, I think KK will come up with some surprises, for
us
[17:44] <Ghostgames> Now all I need is more recommendations like that
(so it stays at the top of the recommendation list), and some reviews
on the map page on amazon.com... :-)
[17:44] <kirienne> map even, geez, bad rental fingers
[17:44] <Debbie-VB> Katherine always does shiral
[17:44] <.KK> I'm going to get one of mine laminated; maybe cut one in
half and have it laminted so it will fold in half.
[17:44] <@Shiral> Didn't laminate mine, just stuck it up
[17:45] <Ghostgames> I'll be laminating at least one to take around to
conventions and display.
[17:45] <@Shiral> It will be handy when the Atlas moves into the next
phase. (Not that I'm hinting at all...)
[17:45] * Mistyck will go to Amazon.Com and post her
review/recommendations tonight!
[17:45] <kirienne> LOL
[17:45] <.KK> Wall space is a problem in my office, but a half-size one
can slot nicely under my desk, for ready reference when needed.
[17:45] <Ghostgames> Melissa: Just tell Nancy to give you another
assignment. No reason for you to be idle... ;-)
[17:45] * Debbie-VB will do the same for chapters and amazon.ca
[17:45] <leslie> Amazon.com addict :}
[17:46] <@Shiral> Katherine's walls are VERY well decorated indeed
[17:46] <@Shiral> I haven't hardly seen Nancy online, recently =o(
[17:46] * Debbie-VB would love to see katherine's walls someday
[17:46] <Ghostgames> She's been busy. But she just got finished with a
bunch of 7th Sea stuff, and will be turning her full attention (well,
almost) to the Deryni Adventure Game manuscript this week.
[17:46] <@Shiral> They're well worth it, VB
[17:47] <Ghostgames> Which means I gotta get off my duff and finish my
bits...
[17:47] <.KK> I need to sign off now, guys. Something is happening
downstairs involving strange vehicle pulling up outside, and Scott
going down and talking to people. I may have to make like a hostess.
[17:47] <Mistyck> ughh!
[17:47] <@Wrengl> night
[17:47] <@Shiral> Wow, this late at night?
[17:47] <Ghostgames> Good night!
[17:47] <Mistyck> g'nite, and take care!
[17:47] <@Wrengl> this is late for company!

[15:05] <kirienne> hi to everyone who is new here. I see names I don't

[15:05] <Shiral> So, other than phone trouble, what's the news from
Holybrooke this week?
[15:05] <KK> Yep, I see at least two.
[15:05] <cherie> I been comming for 3 months but I keep missing you
[15:05] <Wrengl> ah, hope the phone lines are working better katherine
[15:05] <Wrengl> hi kirienne
[15:05] <jp> Phone trouble due to wet weather, cold weather or just wonkie
phones
[15:05] <kirienne> hi Pat
[15:06] <christophle> and I hope you post ( mail) is regular.....
[15:06] <kirienne> is your new stove hooked up yet?
[15:06] <Shiral> Where's RD this week??
[15:06] <kirienne> or did you get it yet?
[15:06] <KK> Then, to complicate matters, my machine locked up last night
after trying to access some Quicktime files that Martine sent me. Still
don't know what that was all about, but a cold boot worked where a warm boot
didn't. At least it fixed itself.
[15:06] <kirienne> I think it was Ann who had one waiting to hook up
[15:06] <Wrengl> not sure shiral
[15:06] <christophle> RD was here earlier this wek.eh, mistyck
[15:06] <Wrengl> have not seen the dragon today
[15:07] <Mistyck> yep
[15:07] <Shiral> I'm glad the machine is behaving better, Katheirne
[15:07] <Shiral> Katherine, too
[15:07] <KK> It was Ann's stove.
[15:07] * Debbie-VB hopes katherine got the new stove, especially if she got
hit by that storm that nailed Britian recently
[15:07] <cherie> I hate when that happens kk
[15:07] <KK> I bought a kitchen, and a cooker hood this week.
[15:07] <kirienne> computers are tricksy, as I find out occasionally
[15:07] <cherie> yess they are
[15:07] <Shiral> Ann just gets stoves, Katherine buys entire kitchens at a
time =o)
[15:07] <dianna> computers can be a pain
[15:07] <KK> We missed most of Britain's storm problems. It's been dry and
not that cold here.
[15:07] * jp stupid fat kithen
[15:07] <jm> Computers have a mind of their own,
[15:07] <the_Bee> btw, kk: "the Eye of rom turned up on public television a

[15:09] <the_Bee> Cyberchase. PBS Kids
[15:09] <jp> wheels within wheels
[15:09] <jm> Thought that was Felix the Cat
[15:10] <dianna> sylvester the cat
[15:10] <Shiral> Welcome to the confusing hour at deryni destinations
[15:10] <Mistyck> lol
[15:10] <the_Bee> the Hacker (show's villain) stole it
[15:10] <Mistyck> I think Boston is gettign confused
[15:10] * christophle is looking in his dictonary of americanisms for binky
the cat
[15:10] * Debbie-VB is a regular and she's confuzzled right now!
[15:10] <KK> Was it really the Eye of Rom?
[15:10] <KK> (Me, too, Christophle.)
[15:10] <Mistyck> or was it the Eye of Rome or something?
[15:10] <cherie> Boy some haldane king will be looking for that
[15:10] <dianna> or a Roaming Eye?
[15:11] <christophle> lost.............!!!!!!!!!!
[15:11] <Shiral> "I just know it's around here, somewhere...."
[15:11] <Mistyck> lol
[15:11] <christophle> lol
[15:11] <jp> or just "an Eye of Rom"
[15:11] <KK> There can be only one....
[15:11] <dianna> as in eye of newt?
[15:11] <kirienne> LOL KK
[15:11] <cherie> lol
[15:11] <dianna> lol
[15:11] <jm> Thought that was the immortals
[15:11] <jp> there's got to be two right?
[15:11] <Shiral> The voice of authority has spoken
[15:12] <Mistyck> hehe
[15:12] <jm> Somebody named McCloud
[15:12] <KK> Bee, say something. Where did they get the Eye of Rom in a
kid's show?
[15:12] <Mistyck> JM that's Highlander
[15:12] <kirienne> well, how did that cat get it?
[15:12] <dianna> How's the kitties doing KK?
[15:12] <christophle> mistych that was a cackle....
[15:12] <jm> True
[15:12] <cherie> you know how cats like to play with shiny things
[15:12] <Mistyck> yep, Chirs
[15:12] <dianna> and the Eye would temp them
[15:12] <cherie> mabey he swiped it from the treasury
[15:12] <Shiral> "Stop that cat!"
[15:13] <Mistyck> lol
[15:13] <cherie> although why it would be ther in the first place and not in
someones ear...
[15:13] <jm> Thought the Haldane Kings wore it all the time
[15:13] <christophle> oh... Dot start on about enocscopys!
[15:13] <KK> I suppose he could have lost it. I've lost a few other
earrings, in my time.
[15:13] <kirienne> or at least in safe keeping waiting to be put in
someone's ear
[15:13] <Shiral> Me too
[15:13] <cherie> mabey it was the Jewlers cat and the Eye was in for
cleaning?
[15:13] <dianna> me too
[15:13] <christophle> or in a cat
[15:13] <jm> Can't say I have ever had that problem
[15:14] <Shiral> I always seem to shed one of a pair I particularly like
[15:14] <KK> The ivy stole one of my Canterbury cross ones a couple of
months ago, and I had to have a mate made.
[15:14] <Debbie-VB> I've lost earrings too Katherine
[15:14] <dianna> only the expensive ones, of course
[15:14] <cherie> repairs? perhaps the setting snaged on a cloak and needed
to be fixed?
[15:14] <Shiral> Of course
[15:14] <christophle> logical
[15:14] <dianna> never lose a cheapie
[15:14] <Debbie-VB> I lost one at Darkover that was fairly special to me
[15:14] <jm> Maybe the wire wore out and broke
[15:14] * jp imagines the dynastic problems if the eye of Rom got stuck in
the cats ear as it walked over the Camber seal and inherited the Haldane
potential!
[15:14] <Shiral> Katherine, do you have any specific idea of what Michon de
Courcy looks like?
[15:14] <Shiral> Most of the time for me, the earring back falls out
[15:14] * kirienne doesn't have any expensive earrings to loose
[15:15] <christophle> lol jp
[15:15] <KK> Shiral, can't remember, off the top of my head. He hasn't yet
shown up on the current book.

[15:22] <KK> Well, you guys are so supportive--and I get good feedback by
being able to chat like this. Ask some of the old timers about the chat
while ITKS was in progress.
[15:23] <Shiral> Lots of input =o)
[15:23] <the_Bee> www.worldcon.com
[15:23] <Mistyck> yep
[15:23] <Tika> hehehe
[15:23] <cherie> Actually I read some of the transcripts back then
[15:23] <Shiral> I just hope the cooks to broth ratio doesn't get out of
hand
[15:23] <Wrengl> there were some INTENSE chats then
[15:23] <Mistyck> yes there were
[15:23] <cherie> could not make much sense of them though
[15:23] <dianna> great! it makes the books, cooler, to kinda "know" the
author, too
[15:23] <kirienne> <g>
[15:23] <jm> True
[15:23] <Wrengl> yes bee
[15:23] * Tika still remembers the discussion mentioned in Deryni Tales
about the "period piece"
[15:23] <Ethan> Katherine, is there no chance Camber's final spell worked?
[15:23] <Shiral> Me too!
[15:23] <TerryOBrien> So you'll be at Boston this year. Its really, really
tempting, but I've already got two major conventions to hit this summer,
plus the possibility of going to Pennsic.
[15:23] <Tika> hehehe
[15:23] <Bynw> ROFLMAO
[15:23] <Wrengl> http://www.noreascon.org/
[15:24] <Wrengl> is the noreascon site, bee
[15:24] <KK> That was one our more--er--interesting discussions.
[15:24] <Tika> LOL yes it was
[15:24] * Shiral will concentrate on just getting to darkover this year
[15:24] <Shiral> The guys were a little embarrassed =o)
[15:24] <Bynw> you better Shiral
[15:24] <Ethan> ??
[15:24] <Wrengl> indeed, shiral
[15:24] <KK> I still shudder to think of the reality of life in that
respect, up until about 100 years ago.
[15:24] * Shiral is sorry to have missed last year
[15:25] <Wrengl> the Pub will be at Darkover again
[15:25] <Tika> ugh, no kidding
[15:25] <Mistyck> Katherine: will you be attending any other cons besides
Worldcon and Darkover this year?
[15:25] <Bynw> Darkover just wasnt the same
[15:25] <Shiral> Verra verra messy
[15:25] <Wrengl> although i am thinking of a party one evening in boston
[15:25] <Debbie-VB> ?me is hoping that shiral will be there next year (2005)
'04 will probably not happen
[15:25] <Shiral> I missed seeing you guys!
[15:25] <KK> Actually, everybody was pretty clinical. And it helped that no
one could see anyone else, I expect.
[15:25] <Shiral> Although I'm not going to Europe this year, I do have to
pay off my new car
[15:25] <Wrengl> debbie
[15:25] <christophle> KK. keep an eye (..of rom) on the your post. I,ve sent

[15:27] <cherie> I'm taking her to eqine affair though
[15:27] <Tika> ah
[15:27] <KK> It must be the season. Our Honda died 3 weeks ago, from blown
head gasket, we thought. But then we found out it was only a stuch
thermostat, so it was resurrected--but we'd already bought another car.
[15:27] <cherie> *equine
[15:27] <jp> a horse
[15:27] <TerryOBrien> Mine car is a Milky War bar: dark brown on the
outside, light brown in the inside.
[15:27] <dianna> I think my car's thermostat is stuck, too, no heat
[15:28] <cherie> what is a Haldane car?
[15:28] <Shiral> Well, mine is definitely dead, unless the patron saint of
car repairs comes to the rescue
[15:28] <cherie> lol
[15:28] <KK> What we spent for the thermostat, plus what we spent for the
new(er) car, was still much less than if we'd had to replace the head
gasket.
[15:28] <Shiral> My new car is black with grey upholstery, Cherie
[15:28] <Mistyck> that's a good thing
[15:28] <Wrengl> our car is not big enough for darkover
[15:28] <dianna> head gsket's are expensive did that last year
[15:28] <jm> Transmission went out in ours and car was too old to want to
ressurect

[15:29] <kirienne> mine is silver with grey interior
[15:29] <Shiral> I was a little worried about the "indentured servitude"
clause on the sales contract, but what the hey, I needed the car!
[15:29] <TerryOBrien> Katherine, what ever did you do with the Bently?

[15:29] <cherie> lol
[15:29] <Mistyck> hehehe
[15:30] <kirienne> yes, they try to hide that clause when you sign the
contract. I spotted it in mine after I got home with new car
[15:30] * cherie makes a not to reread tha contract on her car loan
[15:30] * Bynw is listening to Rush
[15:30] <Mistyck> they like to do that
[15:30] <Debbie-VB> I guess that's part of the reeeeeeeeeeely fine print?
[15:30] <jm> That must have been the form that they snuck by at the end-
when I was tired of signing
[15:30] <Shiral> Well, I don't have a first born child to hand over, so
they'll have to make do with me
[15:30] <christophle> indentured sevitude? sound like slavery??
[15:30] <jp> lol
[15:30] <TerryOBrien> They use invisible ink for that part.

[15:52] <cherie> interesting
[15:52] <Pedantic_Bee> actually from India, or so I've read

[15:53] <christophle> ohh.... i real i'll be dooin' research
[15:53] <christophle> sorry feel
[15:53] <Shiral> I wondered about that, Christophle =o)
[15:53] <Mistyck> and I've pretty much decided to use The Shroud as the
treasure that goes with them
[15:54] <Pedantic_Bee> weren't they sometimes called "beggars" or "tinkers"?
[15:54] <cherie> I've heard that
[15:54] <cherie> Tinkers
[15:54] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Rental fingers, christophle?
[15:54] <jp> Thieving pykies as well
[15:54] <christophle> tinkes did odd jobs for people
[15:54] <Shiral> Hard to find a good rental place open on Sunday
[15:54] <kirienne> rental fingers are usually problematic
[15:54] <christophle> yep. u got it
[15:54] <christophle> but for freeeeeeee
[15:54] <Mistyck> but, the twist would be that the Shroud is the "head" the
Templars worshipped
[15:55] * Debbie-VB thinks she started something a while ago with her commen
t about rented fingers
[15:55] <KK> Well, we've got Llanners, which are sort of like Welsh ponies;
R'Kassans are like Arabs. Battle horses would be more like Frisians, I
suppose.
[15:55] <christophle> i'll be dooin' a 'tinker' for mistyck
[15:55] <jp> COWS?
[15:55] <cherie> cool I thought that about the R'kassan
[15:55] <cherie> No Fresians are some georgouse horse
[15:55] * Mistyck thanks christophle from the bottom of her heart for all
the research he's already done!
[15:55] <christophle> mmmm
[15:56] <cherie> I got to ride a stallion one that was insured for a million
dolars
[15:56] <christophle> wait til you and KK get the book and pics!!!!!!!!
[15:56] <Shiral> Wow, some horse!
[15:56] <KK> When we first saw Ladyhawk, Scott nearly came out of his seat
beside me. He LOVES that horse!
[15:56] <cherie> yeah me too
[15:56] <Pedantic_Bee> "Hark! hark! the dogs do bark/ the beggars are coming
to town. some in rags, and some in tags, and some in velvet gowns
[15:56] <Ethan> would the knights' hores be more like Belgians or Percherons
[15:56] <Mistyck> I'm already impatient...now it'll be worse!
[15:56] <cherie> The horse I rode is jokkars Thor
[15:57] <Shiral> LOL, KK
[15:57] <KK> Belgians, think "light" draft, chargers.
[15:57] <Shiral> I could see Scott Riding that horse
[15:57] <christophle> I was once bitten by a donkey on Blackpool beach!!!!
[15:57] <Mistyck> ughh
[15:57] <christophle> lol
[15:57] <Debbie-VB> I kind of like the horse that playes shadowfax
[15:57] <TerryOBrien> Katherine, when Vicki and I saw Ladyhawke, I couldn't
tell whether she was lusting for Hauer or his horse.
[15:57] <Shiral> LOL
[15:57] <cherie> Andulusian
[15:57] <cherie> I painted shadowfax
[15:57] <KK> That's what the other guy was riding in Ladyhawk.
[15:58] <christophle> a horse of a different colour
[15:58] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Cool, cherie!
[15:58] <Shiral> that was the horse *I* wanted
[15:58] <cherie>
http://www.council-of-elrond.com/gallery/fanart/images/cherrie_c11.jpg
[15:58] <Shiral> I loved that gorgeous mane
[15:58] <cherie> This is a link to it
[15:58] <KK> Well. Andalusians do look a bit like white Frisians. And
they're both a bit like Lippizans.
[15:58] * Debbie-VB thought the horse of a different colour was the one in
Wizard of Oz
[15:58] <cherie> yes they are
[15:58] <jp> a horse by any other name would smell just like sweat
[15:58] <kirienne> the horses in LadyHawkew were verra pretty, as were the
LOTR horses
[15:59] * Shiral likes Lippizans
[15:59] <cherie> in fact last year I saw a Fresian perform side by side with
an analusian it was soo cool
[15:59] <christophle> oh.. we used to have a tv programme about the ' white
horses'
[15:59] <The_Cat_Whisperer> LOL, jp!
[15:59] <cherie> I have seen them perform several times.
[15:59] <Shiral> I've seen them perform at the Spanish Riding School
[16:00] <kirienne> I'll have to go there adn alook at your drawing cherrie,
I visit that site almost daily
[16:00] <KK> Disney did The Miracle of the White Stallions, about the rescue
of the Spanish Riding School horses at the end of WW II.
[16:00] * cherie dies of envy
[16:00] <jp> Damn you christophle, I'll be humming that theme tune all night
now
[16:00] <cherie> yeah but the book was better
[16:00] <christophle> we got 'white horses' in the 60s
[16:00] <cherie> me too kirienne
[16:00] <The_Cat_Whisperer> g2g, be back later.

[17:01] <Samuel> hello KK
[17:01] <Mistyck> hi KK
[17:01] <kirienne> Hi Katherine
[17:01] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, Katherine
[17:01] <Sedina> Hi, Katherine
[17:01] <the_Bee> hi KK! you made it!
[17:01] <JastaElf> Hi Katherine!
[17:01] <Duck> hello katherine
[17:01] <KK> Hi, Folks.
[17:01] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, KK
[17:02] <Mistyck> how are you?
[17:02] <KK> We've had house guests the past few weekends--and have
some tonight, so I can't stay too long, but wanted to at least drop
in.
[17:02] <RainbowDragon> We've missed you the last few Sundays, KK
[17:02] <KK> What's the latest word on Wrengl?
[17:02] <JastaElf> Not yet, Katherine.
[17:02] <kirienne> how is remodeling going Katherine?
[17:02] <JastaElf> No bulletin today
[17:02] <Mistyck> as of yesterday she was still in ICU
[17:02] <KK> Work progresses.
[17:02] <Bynw> hiyas KK
[17:02] <kirienne> what has happened to Pat?
[17:02] <Mistyck> but talking to the nurses and doctors
[17:02] <the_Bee> what happened??
[17:03] <RainbowDragon> How is your writing progressing, Katherine?
[17:03] <KK> This weekend, we filled an entire large dumpster (the
size of a car) with builders' debris. Yay!
[17:03] <Sedina> Pat's doing better, but the hospital staff is still
having to work hard to keep her sugar levels within exceptable ranges.
[17:03] <KK> Not much writing the past week or so, though I'm raring
to get back to it.
[17:03] <The_Cat_Whisperer> I sent Wrengl a get-well e-card.
[17:04] <KK> While dealing with builders, I figured out a better way
to do a scene I'd drafted.
[17:04] <Mistyck>
[17:04] <kirienne> cool KK
[17:04] <KK> Jasta, how are you doing?
[17:04] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Inspiration comes from the unlikliest
places! :-)
[17:04] <Duck> if they aid in the planning process then you need a
troupe of engineers on hand katherine
[17:05] <JastaElf> I'm... hanging in there, KK. Meds are being
adjusted, and... sad to say, the bleeding has come back. :-(
[17:05] <KK> Amen.
[17:05] <KK> Drat!

[17:06] <KK> And how is Brian doing?
[17:06] <Martine> Did you get to see Jasper this morning, Jasta?
[17:06] <JastaElf> He's doing GREAT! Did I tell you he made the
Dean's List last semester?
[17:06] * dianna has joined #Deryni_Destinations

Nigel accompanies Duncan, to make Jasta smile
[17:06] <Mistyck> cool, Jasta!
[17:06] <Mistyck> hi Dianna
[17:06] <Martine> Good for him!
[17:06] <the_Bee> Jasper made the dean's list???
[17:06] <dianna> good evening all
[17:06] <JastaElf> LOL! Yeah right, at horsie school...
[17:06] <kirienne> that's great about Jaspar Jasta
[17:07] <JastaElf> No, Brian, my son. :-)
[17:07] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, Dianna. Haven't seen you before.
[17:07] <kirienne> oh, even better
[17:07] <JastaElf> Jasper has been seeing a trainer though and has had
a dramatic turnaround in behaviour.
[17:07] <KK> Is he (Jasper) being broken to saddle yet? He's got to
be old enough.
[17:07] <JastaElf> He's already been broken to ride, KK.
[17:07] <Sedina> hi, dianna
[17:07] <dianna> been here a few weeks, off and on, nice to meet you,
cat..
[17:07] <KK> Aha! And have you ridden him?
[17:07] <JastaElf> The trainer has ridden him several times already.
*sob* and never told me til after... I wasn't even there to see!
[17:07] <RainbowDragon> Hi, dianna
[17:08] <JastaElf> No, since the back injury in December riding has
been out of the question. :-(
[17:08] <dianna> HI Sedina..how are you?
[17:08] <dianna> hi RD
[17:08] <JastaElf> Couldn't even walk to get out there to SEE him
ridden. But the doc thinks I'll be able to ride come April
[17:08] <KK> Sob. When do you think the back will be good enough?
[17:08] <RainbowDragon> back injury? oh yuck
[17:08] <Sedina> doing all right, dianna...taking a break from card
making to chat with everyone
[17:08] <JastaElf> Hopefully it'll be my Easter prezzie to myself.
[17:08] <KK> Sounds good!
[17:08] <Martine> So we all have to send healing huggles to Jasta and
Pat. :-)
[17:08] <dianna> Sedina, that is good, it is nice to chat sometimes
[17:08] <kirienne> that would be a good Easter prezzie
[17:09] <JastaElf> :-) I felt like such a prat tho: torn between joy
that he could be ridden, and sorrow that I wasn't there to see.
Sigh...
[17:09] <KK> Martine, how's your riding coming? And John's? He made
a good start here in Ireland.
[17:09] <Bynw> its very good to have the JastaElf back in the chat :-)
[17:09] <Mistyck> yes it is!
[17:09] <JastaElf> Aww, you guys are the greatest....
[17:09] <kirienne> yep
[17:09] <Martine> He sure did! John survived a 6-hour trail ride in
30-degree F weather before Christmas in western NJ. :-)
[17:09] <Mistyck> wow!
[17:09] <kirienne> wow, good for John
[17:09] <KK> Wow!
[17:09] <JastaElf> Martine, how're your skiing muscles this
morning/afternoon?
[17:09] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Bynw, Thanks for putting my stats on the
map. :-)
[17:10] <Martine> My riding is coming along well, too. I was upgraded
to a higher-level instructor and grouped with two other students, so I
get to ride for a full hour now.
[17:10] <kirienne> great
[17:10] <KK> Excellent!
[17:10] <Duck> martine and her riding crop inspiress confidence in her
students?
[17:10] <The_Cat_Whisperer> LOL!
[17:10] <Martine> My new instructor has me working mainly with the
stable slug (I'm one of the few who MIGHT get him to canter) and
another joy of a mare who responds to things you don't even know
you're doing.
[17:10] <kirienne> LOL Duck
[17:10] <Martine> Confidence? It's fear, Duck. FEAR! <g>
[17:11] <kirienne> LOL
[17:11] <Martine> Have you managed to get on a horse yet, Katherine?
[17:11] <JastaElf> So were you sore this AM after all that skiing
yesterday, Martine?
[17:11] <Bynw> you're welcome CW
[17:11] <Duck> aah so that is the reason why you are an instructor and
i am not
[17:11] <Martine> Owie, Jasta. But not as owie as John is! And he
wasn't the one skiing moguls <g>
[17:11] <JastaElf> Oh, poor John!!
[17:11] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Martin, is that mare Deryni? :-D
[17:11] <JastaElf> He clearly didn't take tylenol before bed...
[17:11] <JastaElf> :-)
[17:11] <KK> Duck, did Nancy ever tell you that I wasn't able to open
your resume file, which is why I haven't been able to call those Irish
job possibilities for you?
[17:12] * kirienne tells Kelson to give Martine a *good* massage after
chat
[17:12] <Martine> It was funny, too. I wasn't sore from skiing, but
from carrying the darn boot bag all the way back to the car!!
[17:12] <Martine> If Brite (the mare) isn't Deryni, she must have at
least been trained by one!
[17:12] <Duck> yes she did katherine and i have been a bit busy to
follow up on any of it
[17:12] * cherie has joined #Deryni_Destinations

[17:12] <cherie> Hi everyone
[17:12] <RainbowDragon> hi, cherie
[17:12] <Mistyck> hi Cherie
[17:12] <JastaElf> Hi Cherie
[17:12] <cherie> Hello KK
[17:12] <Martine> Kirienne, I like the way you think! ;-)
[17:12] <the_Bee> hi cherie
[17:12] <KK> OK, resend the info when you can and I'll try to call on
the posts.
[17:12] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, Cherie.
[17:13] <kirienne> hi cherie
[17:13] <Martine> And no, Jasta, John didn't take Tylenol last night
;-)
[17:13] <Sedina> hi, cherie
[17:13] <Martine> Hi Cherie
[17:13] <cherie> just got in from horseback riding:)
[17:13] <kirienne> anything for a friend Martine :-)
[17:13] <Martine> Oooooooo! :-)
[17:13] <Martine> How was the ride?
[17:13] <cherie> awesome!
[17:13] <KK> And Mistyck, how is the adorable Ryan?
[17:13] <The_Cat_Whisperer> KK, I sent you an email. Did you get it?
[17:14] <Martine> KK, how's Holybrooke coming along?
[17:14] <KK> Dunno. When did you send it?
[17:14] <The_Cat_Whisperer> The 18th.
[17:14] <dianna> KK, how are you doing?
[17:14] <KK> I'll have to check, CW.
[17:15] <KK> We hope that the window guy will start this week.
[17:15] <Martine> Excellent!
[17:15] <Martine> When he's done with your house, can you send him
over here? We have four windows that need replacing... <g>
[17:15] <Martine> Hi Dianna
[17:15] <KK> Meanwhile, we have two of the three holes drilled through
the 30+ inch-thick walls for plumbing. And most of the plastering is
now done.
[17:16] <Martine> So it's starting to look like a livable wing again
then.
[17:16] <RainbowDragon> How much more needs to be done to the place,
Katherine?
[17:16] <dianna> KK....I really enjoyed reading about your
ghosts...too cool
[17:16] <KK> There are definitely rooms out there!
[17:16] <Martine> Whoo hoo!
[17:16] <Mistyck> Katherine: Ryan's doing great! He's skating again
and doing well in school
[17:16] <JastaElf> Shiral sent me her trip diary... the ghosts stayed
away from her while she was there
[17:17] <dianna> no fair, if I ever go to Ireland, AND a castle, I had
BETTER see some ghosts!!!!!
[17:17] <Martine> You're doing better than we are, then. All we've
managed so far is to dig up the basement slab only to discover that
water is leaching through our foundation. We MIGHT have a new bathroom
in 2006 at this rate!
[17:17] <KK> Plaster the lobby and utility area, the lower stairwell,
build the little boiler houue in the outer lobby; second fix on
electrical and plumbing.
[17:17] <Duck> and an underground spa now martine?
[17:17] <Martine> Jasta, I told Shiral she just had to promise the
ghosts CHOCOLATE next time <g>
[17:17] <RainbowDragon> Maybe ghosts are afraid of Shirals! :-)
[17:17] <Martine> A rather cold and muddy one, yes, Duck!
[17:17] <KK> Oh, and the kitchen came; now sitting in boxes in the
drawing room. Appliances are still on hold at the warehouse, but we
bought and paid for them on St. Stephen's Day.
[17:18] <dianna> martine ..mud pit, hummmmmm
[17:18] <Mistyck> cool!
[17:18] <Martine> So things are moving along rather nicely!
[17:18] <JastaElf> LOL! I think ghosts would LIKE choccies...
[17:18] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Can ghosts eat?
[17:18] * dianna thinks jasta likes chocolate as much as I do
[17:18] <Martine> I only got to see the stair lady ghost myself when I
was there.
[17:18] <JastaElf> Warehoused since St. Stephen's, KK??
Jeepers--isn't that Dec.26??
[17:18] <JastaElf> LOL! I do indeed, Dianna!
[17:19] <KK> Yep. With luck, the wing will be ready for habitation in
May/June.
[17:19] * JastaElf reaches for a cordialed cherry
[17:19] <dianna> cat, sure they can....i think
[17:19] <Mistyck> cool!
[17:19] * Martine offers fresh-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies
around the room
[17:19] <KK> Yep. But that's when the big sales are--and we knew what
we needed.
[17:19] <dianna> ty martine
[17:19] <cherie> oooh thanks martine:)
[17:19] <kirienne> oooh more choc chip cookies
[17:19] * JastaElf hands around dishes of Breyers' choc chip ice
cream, and the bowl of hot fudge
[17:20] <Martine> Now I just have to figure out how to telecommute
from Ireland so I can rent that wing.... ;-)
[17:20] <KK> Yum!
[17:20] <Martine> Did you say HOT fudge?
[17:20] <kirienne> LOL Martine
[17:20] * Martine salivates
[17:20] <Bynw> LOL Martine
[17:20] <dianna> martine...LOL
[17:20] * the_Bee thanks jasta and happily digs in
[17:20] <cherie> great way to end a day now if only I had stopped at
the store on my way home.
[17:20] <JastaElf> I said HOT fudge, dark, rich and luscious,
Martine....
[17:20] <The_Cat_Whisperer> *sets out cups of hot chocolate*
[17:20] <cherie> oh then again if I had I would not be her yet
[17:20] * Martine moves from salivate to full-out drool
[17:21] <dianna> has anyone seen the Mel Gibson movie , The passion,
yet?
[17:21] <cherie> *here
[17:21] <cherie> not yet
[17:21] <Martine> Jasta - trade Godiva liqueur for some of that hot
fudge?
[17:21] <Bynw> Tika is gonna see it next weekend
[17:21] <The_Cat_Whisperer> LOL, Martine!
[17:21] <dianna> was gonna see it today, but it keeps selling out
[17:21] <JastaElf> You dobn't have to, Martine, But you have a deal...
[17:21] <cherie> A co-workers mom did and said it was really good
[17:21] <dianna> kahlua is great on ice cream...
[17:21] * JastaElf snatches the Godiva and pours a BUNCH OF SMALL CUPS
TO PASS AROUND. :-)
[17:21] <Bynw> a lot of the local churches have bought up all the
tickets around here
[17:21] <KK> I plan to see it.
[17:21] <cherie> I am going to wait and rent it
[17:21] <Martine> I think I'm going to wait until it comes out on
video. Local theater now wants $9.50 per ticket.
[17:22] <kirienne> I haven't seen it, don't think I could handle the
intensity of it, I nearly faint at having my blood drawn for tests
[17:22] <dianna> ick, way too high for a movie, I will see it next
weekend, maybe things will calm down
[17:22] <Martine> I didn't think you could turn down Godiva liqueur,
Jasta. ;-)
[17:22] <JastaElf> LOL! Nope!
[17:22] <cherie> Oscars is tonight
[17:22] <kirienne> godiva, yummmm
[17:22] <dianna> I can't imagine it will be any bloodier than say, the
gladiator, or braveheart
[17:22] <Martine> I paid $9.50 for Return of the King, and it was
worth every penny. There aren't many other movies worth that.
[17:23] <cherie> yeaah
[17:23] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Maybe you should get a note from your
doctor before seeing "The Passion". =8-0
[17:23] <cherie> Been to see it 4 times Martine
[17:23] * JastaElf LOVED ROTK... except not enough Legolas....
[17:23] <Martine> LOL! There's never enough Legolas! ;-)
[17:23] <JastaElf> Amen! :-)
[17:23] <kirienne> I still have not seen ythe ending of Braveheart, I
held my coat over my eyes adn ears at certain times of that
[17:23] <cherie> yes but he was there more than in the book
[17:23] <Martine> Did you see Pirates of the Caribbean, Jasta?
[17:23] <Sedina> lol Jasta
[17:23] <JastaElf> Oh YES! *drool*
[17:23] <Martine> LOL!
[17:23] <cherie> braveheart was not so bad. The patriot was really
bloody though
[17:23] <dianna> kirienne, the only thing that bothers me os the
spinning scenes, yick
[17:23] * kirienne agrees with Jasta, m\needed way more Mirkwood
Princling in it
[17:24] <KK> Pirates was cool.
[17:24] <cherie> Pirates was very cool
[17:24] <Martine> It was a heck of a lot of fun! Isn't Johnny Depp up
for best actor for that movie?
[17:24] <cherie> he is]
[17:24] <dianna> haven't seen pirates, can't stand Johnny Depp
[17:24] <KK> He did a hell of a job.
[17:24] <cherie> He better get it too
[17:24] * Raven has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:24] <DeryniBot> Raven uses a Transfer Portal to join the chat in
#Deryni_Destinations
[17:24] <cherie> hi raven
[17:24] <Sedina> hi, Raven
[17:24] <Martine> Agreed!

[17:24] <RainbowDragon> HI, Raven
[17:24] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, Raven.
[17:24] <cherie> if he does it will be the first time someone got it
for a comedy
[17:25] <kirienne> hi Raven
[17:25] * Raven falls backwards
[17:25] <JastaElf> Orlando Bloom was marvelous in Pirates. Eminently
, err, huggable. Yeah, that's the word. :-)
[17:25] <the_Bee> my video rental place has 5 for $10 on fridays. I'm
trying to think of 5 movies I <really> want to see
[17:25] <RainbowDragon> Quoth the Raven, "Never more"?
[17:25] <dianna> I liked Cuba Gooding Jr in RADIO
[17:25] <Martine> Just "huggable", Jasta?
[17:25] <Raven> *blinks* talk about greeting
[17:25] <cherie> Orli is gonna be a BIG ster
[17:25] <kirienne> Captain Jack Sparrow is the best pirate captain
ever as far as I am concerned
[17:25] <Raven> RD: yup.
[17:25] <cherie> yeah
[17:26] <Martine> A big star who is VERY easy on the eyes.
[17:26] <cherie> LOL very
[17:26] <kirienne> yes, he was huggable, I think of him as Legoals in
disguise playing at being a corsssssair tough
[17:26] <JastaElf> LOL! I can't say other words with KK in the room,
Martine. She thinks I'm sweet. :-)
[17:26] * JastaElf ducks from KK's reach...
[17:26] <Sedina> lol
[17:26] <kirienne> LOL Jasta
[17:26] <Bynw> LOL
[17:26] <Martine> ROTFL!!!! Gotcha! ;-)
[17:26] <KK> Huh?
[17:26] <dianna> are we talking about JOHNNY DEPP?? UGH
[17:26] <cherie> no Orlando bloom
[17:26] <Sedina> I would think that after all this time, she would
know you better than that, Jasta
[17:26] <Bynw> JastaElf, I think KK knows all about how you really are
[17:26] <JastaElf> LOL! Yeah probably....
[17:26] <KK> Ah, but Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, now....
[17:26] <dianna> whew, thought for a second youall had gone bonkers
[17:27] <JastaElf> Oh I loved Johnny as Jack.
[17:27] <Martine> I'm not a Johnny Depp fan, but I still thought he
was wonderful in Pirates.
[17:27] <cherie> Johny was so funny as Jack
[17:27] <Martine> He sure was!
[17:27] <kirienne> that was the first time I had ever seen Johnny
[17:27] <KK> Well, I recently reread a certain story by Jasta, written
for Nancy's birthday last year. Whew!
[17:27] <Martine> LOL!
[17:27] <Martine> Written by Jasta? Surely it cannot be!
[17:27] <dianna> you wanna see a funny movie, with hunks in it, watch
hollywood homicide
[17:27] <cherie> I need to rewrite mine before April
[17:27] <Mistyck> hi Raven
[17:28] <JastaElf> LOL! Ummm... which one was that, KK? I have no
brain today...
[17:28] <cherie> nah I am not into hunks I just love great adventures
[17:28] <JastaElf> Was that Nigel and Meraude in the labyrinth? <g>
[17:28] <KK> The one about the Queen of Torenth and her new lover....
[17:28] <Martine> Wasn't that Melissa's?
[17:28] <Martine> Or am I confused?
[17:28] <JastaElf> That wasn't me.... <blush>
[17:28] <cherie> My doggie wants to know what Im doin not paying
atention to her
[17:29] <KK> Oh, I'm confused too, then. But they're both cut from
the same cloth, where such things are concerned. ;-)
[17:29] <Martine> Hee hee!
[17:29] <JastaElf> LOL! Well yeah...
[17:29] <Bynw> lol
[17:29] <KK> I don't think it actually has an author name on the copy
I have.
[17:29] <kirienne> my brain is not working too good today either
[17:30] <cherie> Mines not too bad, notice no rent-a-fingers so far
[17:30] <KK> No, we all pretty muich seem to have our own fingers
tonight.
[17:30] <KK> much
[17:30] <JastaElf> :-) More's the pity in my case. Fumbling through
the evening....
[17:30] <kirienne> I was glad my team teacher taught our Sunday school
kids mostly by herself, I just handed out the coloring sheets and kept
reminding them that all eyes needed to be on her during the story
[17:31] <Martine> Huh, Kirienne? You mean brains are supposed to work?
[17:31] <kirienne> that's what I've been told anyway Martine
[17:31] <JastaElf> We had the Great Litany at our church this AM... I
got to chant. :-) Was hard kneeling there for ten minutes,
singing... but it was Cool!! :-)
[17:31] <KK> Incidentally, we're having really cold weather here.
There was ice in the shadows here today that never did melt.
[17:31] <The_Cat_Whisperer> It looks like KK's using rented fingers.
:-D
[17:31] * Bynw looks at the calendar and sees only 9 more days until
his bday which he shares with a few others
[17:31] <cherie> it's beautiful here
[17:31] <kirienne> cool Jasta, that must have been so moving
[17:31] <JastaElf> Probably not a good time to tell you it was 65 and
sunny here today... after all the cold we've had....
[17:32] * ethan has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:32] <DeryniBot> Paddy flies down from the bell tower to greet
ethan
[17:32] <JastaElf> It was, very, kirienne.
[17:32] <Martine> So come visit us here, Katherine. It's going to be
close to 60F tomorrow. :-)
[17:32] <JastaElf> Hi ethan!
[17:32] <the_Bee> hi ethan
[17:32] <Mistyck> hi Ethan
[17:32] <ethan> Hello all
[17:32] <cherie> yeah
[17:32] <kirienne> we've had 60 here too
[17:32] <kirienne> hi Ethan
[17:32] <cherie> Hey come ride horses with me kk
[17:32] * Sedina is jealous of 60 degree weather
[17:32] <KK> At least the great rains haven't started yet.
[17:32] <KK> Cherie, what kind of horses do you have?
[17:32] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, Ethan.
[17:32] <Martine> I'm hoping we don't have a repeat of last year's
great rains.
[17:32] <Martine> Hi Ethan
[17:33] <cherie> An Appaloosa and a standardbred
[17:33] <ethan> Hello again
[17:33] <KK> I hope our stay away until we have windows.
[17:33] <kirienne> LOL
[17:33] <Martine> Yes, they do help keep the wet out when they're
working properly.
[17:33] <kirienne> so do I Katherine
[17:33] <JastaElf> Or you can come ride Shires with me, KK--or at
least I'll watch and take pics... :-)
[17:33] <JastaElf> Hey--you could ride JASPER! The trainer tells me
he is every bti as good as we'd hoped....
[17:33] <cherie> I always wanted to try riding a draft
[17:33] <KK> I had a riding teacher who rode an Appy named Happy. He
was brown with a white blanket.
[17:34] <JastaElf> Come on down to Virginia, cherie. These Shires are
wonderful!
[17:34] <cherie> Mine is a red lepord
[17:34] <KK> A very nice, steady horse. And my second horse was half
standardbred.
[17:34] <Sedina> I used to have an appy when I was growing up
[17:34] <Martine> Happy the Appy. I love that!
[17:34] <cherie> Oh wow I live in PA
[17:34] <JastaElf> (Tho my Jasper is a AQH/Connemara cross...)
[17:34] <JastaElf> DAYTRIP! :-)
[17:34] <cherie> !yeah!
[17:34] <Martine> Cherie, drafts are a lot of fun to ride. Once you're
legs are stretched out properly. :-)
[17:34] <JastaElf> :-)
[17:34] <cherie> lol
[17:34] <ethan> I ride a Missouri foxtrotter
[17:34] <cherie> I imagine you get bowlegged prety fast
[17:34] <JastaElf> You can ride dear Tristy--he is SUCH a GREAT ride!
[17:35] <cherie> cool
[17:35] <Martine> I ride whatever anyone will let me mount up ;-D
[17:35] <KK> I've heard of foxtrotters. What kind of gait do they
have? Comfy?
[17:35] <JastaElf> Come on down anyone, any time!
[17:35] <cherie> I am on vacation the end of the month
[17:35] <ethan> Like a rocking chair
[17:35] <cherie> cool
[17:35] <cherie> foxtrotters are way smooth
[17:35] <KK> Like a Walking horse?
[17:35] <The_Cat_Whisperer> We had rain earlier in the week, but it's
shorts weather now. Keep in mind that mind that what Idahoans call
shorts weather may differ from others' opinions. :-D
[17:35] <ethan> no bounce in the trot at all
[17:35] * the_Bee wishes she could ride
[17:35] <kirienne> LOL CW
[17:36] <KK> I could get used to that! :-)
[17:36] <cherie> more like a paso I'd think
[17:36] <ethan> verrry smooth
[17:36] <cherie> I never rode on but I've seen them work
[17:36] <KK> Sigh. Maybe some day I'll start riding again.
[17:36] <Martine> LOl, Cat! My husband was actually outside today in a
t-shirt. Not that you'd want to stay out that long in a t-shirt, but
the fact he could do it without freezing his tail off was a big step
in the warm direction. :-)
[17:36] <JastaElf> Wow, we've got lots of riders today! :-)
[17:36] <cherie> Equine affaire comming up!
[17:36] <cherie> yeah
[17:36] <JastaElf> Sounds good to me....
[17:37] <Martine> We'll just have to return to Ireland, KK, kidnap
you, and tie you to a saddle. ;-)
[17:37] <ethan> If you've never ridden one try it if you get a chance
[17:37] <cherie> Can't wait to be surrounded by horses and horse
people in Col;umbus
[17:37] <Martine> I got my new Equestrian Vacations brochure today.
They have a picture of the guide we had last summer for the Galway
tour.
[17:37] <Duck> oh no the zippers sisters and their accomplices are
trying for a second kk kidnappping
[17:37] <KK> BTW, I WILL be at WorldCon in Boston, courtesty of Gray
Ghost Press.
[17:37] <JastaElf> I'll be there KK!
[17:37] <cherie> neat
[17:37] <Bynw> when is WorldCon?
[17:37] <KK> Labor Day weekend.
[17:38] <the_Bee> wonderful, KK!
[17:38] <the_Bee> who's the GOH?
[17:38] <Bynw> dont think i'll make that ... i'll be recovering from
GenCon still
[17:38] <KK> Dunno.
[17:38] <Martine> I'll be there too! Boston is too close to pass up.
[17:38] <ethan> any chance of a Northwest US visit Katherine
[17:38] <cherie> too far for me this year
[17:39] <KK> Only if a con invites me.
[17:39] <the_Bee> if I go I'll rent a hotel room this time. I missed
too much at Arisia :-(
[17:39] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Ethan, we''l have to see what we can do!
[17:39] <The_Cat_Whisperer> we'll
[17:39] <ethan> yes we will!!!
[17:39] <Duck> my friend bob is a con(vict) if he invites you to oz
will ya come?
[17:39] <JastaElf> Room party at Jasta's place.... :-)
[17:40] <Martine> Alright!
[17:40] * kirienne wishes she would win the lottery soon so she could
attend
[17:40] <Martine> I'll bring the Godiva. Just let me know if it should
be solid, liquid, or both!
[17:40] * Bynw thinks KK should have a book signing tour of the US and
come to Iowa during it
[17:40] <KK> Depends on when it is, Duck.
[17:40] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Darn rental fingers!
[17:40] <cherie>
[17:40] * kirienne wishes she would win lottery soon so she could go
to cons
[17:41] * cherie whishes for all her bills to go away so she could go
to cons
[17:41] <KK> I thnk I'll be rooming with Olympia.
[17:41] * the_Bee will settle for PCH sweepstakes
[17:42] * cherie wants a pizza
[17:42] * ethan wishes he could win the lottery so he could buy a
large ranch, lots of horses so he could invite katherine to come ride
for a week
[17:42] <Martine> I'll settle for the "We'll redecorate your home for
free" sweepstakes. ;-)
[17:42] <cherie> just get yourself on that home makeover show
[17:43] <kirienne> I would like that too, but the apt owner/manager
would not let them do any painting
[17:43] <dianna> Katherine, if you come to Iowa, you gotta come to
Missouri!!!
[17:43] <JastaElf> I would love that, cherie!
[17:43] <cherie> me too
[17:43] <Martine> Although the money I'm saving by swapping the "cat
sleep and drool on dry-clean-only comforter" for "cat sleep and drool
on machine-washable duvet" is doing wonders. <g>
[17:43] <cherie> my house looks awful on the outside
[17:43] <KK> It would be fun, Dianna.
[17:43] <kirienne> Bee, PCH sends me e-mails to open attachments to
win, I can't ever open any of their attachments, so I can't win
[17:43] <KK> Speaking of Iowa, has anyone heard from Barticus? Is he
still in Iraq?
[17:43] <Sedina> I still find it funny that Arwen drools, Martine.
Myah would positively be horrified if she drooled. *lol*
[17:44] <Bynw> I havent heard from him... he is probably still in Iraq
[17:44] <the_Bee> i thought bart was in kosovo?
[17:44] <cherie> yeah how undignified for an elf
[17:44] <kirienne> LOL Sedina
[17:44] <Bynw> or where ever he was sent
[17:44] <Martine> Arwen only drools when she smells shrimp, or she's
dreaming. And you'll never actually see her do it. But a day or two
later, there's a distinct drool ring on the coverlet <g>
[17:44] <Mistyck> I heard from Barticus a few weeks ago, he's in
Bosnia
[17:44] <KK> OK, Kosovo. Somewhere over there where it's dangerous.
Hope he's ok.
[17:44] <JastaElf> My Thrandy would never drool. Emit high-pitched
little mews from a huge old body, yes... but NEVER drool. <g>
[17:44] <Martine> LOL! Arwen does that, too!
[17:44] <cherie> thraduile?
[17:44] <Sedina> lol Jasta
[17:45] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Maybe Arwen dreams of shrimp! :-D
[17:45] <kirienne> nope, I can't imagine the King of Mirkwood drooling
<g>
[17:45] <Martine> Here comes massive boxy longer-than-my-forearm
cat...... and her mews sound more like "brrrrrrrrrrrrraaaah!"
[17:45] <Mistyck> he probably doesn't have internet access. Although
he has managed to email me at my .mil addy
[17:45] <JastaElf> Yes, Cherie, he's the Kitten-King of Mirkwood. :-)
[17:45] <Sedina> Sounds like Thrandy and Sadie are related in the meow
sense.
[17:45] <cherie> Arwen dreams of Arragorn and I'd drool too
[17:45] <JastaElf> LOL!
[17:45] <cherie> Thought so Misty
[17:45] <kirienne> LOL
[17:45] <cherie> Legolass's father
[17:45] <JastaElf> yup!
[17:45] <KK> Edgar has just come in to tell me k
[17:46] <ethan> Mistyck, did you get my recipe?
[17:46] <Martine> LOL! So it's not shrimp after all!
[17:46] <cherie> nope
[17:46] <cherie> it's ranger
[17:46] <Martine> Give Edgar a scritch for me :-) He's my favorite
Holybrooke kitty.
[17:46] <Mistyck> yes Ethan...sounds really good!
[17:46] <KK> tell me it's time to go to bed. We had three on the bed
last night, not counting humans.
[17:46] <kirienne> LOL
[17:46] <Mistyck> lol
[17:46] <Martine> Oh my!
[17:46] <JastaElf> A Three-Cat Night! Is that like a Three Dog Night?
[17:46] <Martine> John and I have trouble finding room for ourselves
with just ONE. What do you do?
[17:46] <cherie> most elven lass'e cant resist a scruffy Dunedaine
[17:46] <JastaElf> THIS Elven lass can.... <snicker>
[17:47] <the_Bee> have you ever had a 5-cat night, KK?
[17:47] <cherie> I always have a one dog/one cat night
[17:47] <kirienne> I am torn between my love for the Ranger, and
Prince of Miiiirkwood
[17:47] <JastaElf> I have those every night, Bee. Tilly, Max, Kidlet,
Nikki and Thrandy! On a full-size futon, no less.
[17:47] <Martine> Arwen has this habit of picking either JOhn or I,
then stretching full length between our legs. Which effectively means
whomever she chooses can't move!
[17:47] <ethan> no cats in my house, just big slobberpaws doggy
[17:47] <JastaElf> Nah, it's the Elf all the way for me, kirienne.
:-)
[17:48] <cherie> Persoanlly I'm very fond of a heroic gardener
[17:48] <KK> Something like. Jessicat has now taken to sleeping on
the foot of the bed on Scott's side, ever since he shot Gus with the
God-gun for chasing her. Scott is now her hero and protector.
[17:48] <Martine> ROTFL!!!!!!
[17:48] <Sedina> lol
[17:48] <kirienne> LOL Jasta
[17:48] <KK> Jasta, do they ALL sleep with you?
[17:48] <JastaElf> KK, what's a God-gun?
[17:49] <cherie> just guessin, squirt gun
[17:49] <JastaElf> Yes, they often do for at least part of the night,
KK! :-)
[17:49] <KK> one of those squirt bottles.
[17:49] <JastaElf> Thrandy is a pillow gog too...
[17:49] <JastaElf> hog, I meant.
[17:49] <kirienne> well, kings must have their comforts afterall
[17:49] <cherie> my dog likes to snuggle under the covers
[17:49] <KK> Now all he has to do is make the sssst-ssst-ssst sound,
and Gus hunkers down and stops whatever he's doing. That cat learns
fast!
[17:49] <Sedina> lol
[17:49] <kirienne> LOL
[17:49] <Martine> Smart kitty.
[17:49] <dianna> i have 5 indoor kitties, 3 outside, one HUGe dog
inside, all the inside ike to sleep with people
[17:50] <the_Bee> does he sleep on the bed?
[17:50] <JastaElf> LOL! Scott is such hot ticket, I swear....
[17:50] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Jasta, I know what you mean; my cat Tina
is too.
[17:50] <JastaElf> :-)
[17:50] <JastaElf> I couldn't live without animals. Just couldn't do
it.
[17:50] <the_Bee> tina is a hot ticket?
[17:51] <KK> The usual combo is Jessicat, Edgar, and sometimes Gus
and/or Matilda. And occasionally Nicholas is in there too--though
usually only three or so at any one time.
[17:51] <Martine> I don't know how I lived for so long without a
kitty.
[17:51] <cherie> I tried it didn't work
[17:51] <JastaElf> No, a pillow hog. :-) I think....
[17:51] <Bynw> scott is cool but i knew that anyway ... since he's
dead smack in the middle of pisces
[17:51] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Tina Turner? According to some. :-D
[17:51] <KK> On that note, folks, I think I'd better sign off. It's
getting late on this side of the world.
[17:52] <Martine> Huggles, Katherine!
[17:52] <KK> Hope to talk to ya next week.

[17:18] <KK> hit the cap lock; sorry.
[17:19] <JastaElf> Oh dear-- Scott's going in for cataract surgery??
[17:19] <christophle> so two days max?
[17:19] <the_Bee> which is the wrong eye?
[17:19] * JastaElf sends healing & hugs to Scott
[17:19] <KK> 7 AM or so, but he does get to eat breakfast, since it's
an afternoon surgery list and he's the last one on the list.
[17:19] <KK> Scott is IN for cataract surgery.
[17:19] <Mistyck> that's at least a good thing
[17:19] * ethan sends best wishes and prayers to Scott
[17:19] <Sedina> being able to eat is a good thing
[17:20] <cherie> eating is good.... umm who is scott?
[17:20] <KK> They were going to feed him supper at 5 PM, which is
waaaay too early; so he was going to send out for a pizza later on.
[17:20] <JastaElf> May it all go well and his recovery time be swift!
[17:20] <the_Bee> KK's husband
[17:20] <Debbie-VB> Scott is Mr. katherine Kurtz *giggle*
[17:20] <KK> He gets released Tuesday.
[17:20] <cherie> Ahh well hope it goes well KK
[17:20] <Wrengl> they fed me early the one day i was in a regular room
[17:20] <Sedina> best wishes to him, Katherine...
[17:20] <cherie> Sir KK
[17:20] <Bynw> its Major Sir Mr Katherine Kurtz, Baron
[17:21] <Debbie-VB> oooooooooooooooooo
[17:21] <christophle> yep, best wishes to Scott, KK
[17:21] <the_Bee> AKA Scott MacMillan
[17:21] <KK> I expect it will be fine. His surgeon is also the
surgeon who operated on the opthalmologist's son.
[17:21] <Wrengl> in icu and in the er transitional room we were fed
around 6 or later for dinner
[17:21] <Wrengl> ah
[17:21] <cherie> My hubby never got dinner in the hospital.
[17:21] <Wrengl> that is a good recommendation
[17:21] <Debbie-VB> well, most people in ICU are getting their dinner
intraveniously
[17:21] <Wrengl> this is true
[17:21] <cherie> yeah
[17:21] <KK> As I recall, from when I was in years ago, you get a
snack if supper is way early.
[17:22] <Wrengl> i drove them nuts especially after i was off most of
the iv drugs
[17:22] <JastaElf> And of course it AIN'T haute cuisine....
[17:22] <Wrengl> kept popping the monitor leads
[17:22] <Debbie-VB> What are hospital rates like in Ireland katherine?
[17:22] <KK> But at least he'll be able to see clearly again, once
this is over.
[17:22] <christophle> and if you are in icu, you dont tend to konw you
are being fed!
[17:22] <KK> Dunno; it's all covered by our medical insurance.
[17:22] <Mistyck> very true KK
[17:22] <Wrengl> lol christophle
[17:22] <cherie> My Father in law had cateract surgury and it was
amazing what he could see afterward
[17:22] <Wrengl> i was the most lucid person in icu most of the time
[17:23] <Mistyck> and seeing clearly is a verra good thing indeed
[17:23] <Wrengl> yes it is
[17:23] <KK> I expect you were a breath of fresh air for the staff,
Wrengl.
[17:23] <Mistyck> yep!
[17:23] <cherie> It makes reading much easier
[17:23] <KK> Definitely.
[17:23] <the_Bee> My ex-boos is a lifelong vegetarian, and the
hospital kept trying to feed her beef or chicken bouillon

[17:26] <KK> Ack, don't get me started on the coins! The crew
designing the role playing game were driving me crazy several months
ago. I've left it all in their hands.
[17:26] <Mistyck> I've got email addy for one of his uncles...if we
hear something happened in Bosnia, I guess we can find out via his
uncle if he's ok
[17:27] <cherie> lol ok
[17:27] <KK> Ah, then at least we do have a family connection to keep
tabs on him.
[17:27] <Mistyck> yep
[17:27] <Debbie-VB> So wait until Ann gets in nect time and hit her

[17:41] <Wrengl> lol dennis
[17:41] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Welcome, Crabclaw
[17:41] <KK> I suppose the eels are a relic from the days when we
would thwack miscreants with all manner of fishes. Monkfish were my
fish of choice.
[17:41] <cherie> hi crabclaw
[17:41] <Dennis> Hi Crabclaw.
[17:41] <Annie> did well till my dad overwintered it in the coal
cellar
[17:41] <Sedina> now if I were going to bring anything home from
Scotland, I don't think that an eel would be it
[17:42] <cherie> anyone else sensing a theme here?
[17:42] <Mistyck> hehe
[17:42] <Wrengl> lol
[17:42] * Debbie-VB envisions a version of the "fish-slapping dance"
[17:42] <KK> It would be in a kilt, Sedina!
[17:42] <Wrengl> lol debbie
[17:42] <christophle> mmmmmm.... bit fishy
[17:42] <Bynw> kim would bring home a scot sans kilt
[17:42] * the_Bee has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:42] <DeryniBot> the_Bee joins the Lodge of #Deryni_Destinations
under the guidence of the Worshipful Master
[17:42] * Mistyck plans on bringing things other than eels from
Scotland next year

[17:42] <Sedina> wb, Bee
[17:42] <Dennis> Welcome back, Bee.
[17:42] <Mistyck> Glasgow next Summer for the WorldCon
[17:42] <the_Bee> I was wondering why everyone had suddenly gone
silent!
[17:42] <KK> VB, I read you loud and clear.
[17:42] <Wrengl> hopefully smoked salmon from scotland next year
[17:43] <Annie> I'm going there!
[17:43] <Bynw> i love you too Sedina :-)
[17:43] <KK> It will be awesome. Scotland is awesome.
[17:43] <Sedina> and KK, I don't know if an eel in a kilt would even
entice me enough to bring it home
[17:43] <Wrengl> looking forward to it
[17:43] <Mistyck> KK will be there too
[17:43] <Annie> not been to a con for about a hundred and fifty years
- looking forward to it
[17:43] * Sedina wants to go to Scotland
[17:43] <Annie> family are from Mull, KK
[17:43] <The_Cat_Whisperer> LOL, Sedina! How would it stay on, any
way?
[17:43] <Debbie-VB> I'd love to see scotland someday, and definitly
Ireland
[17:44] <KK> Sedina, there are far more interesting things to be found
in kilts.
[17:44] * JastaElf wishes she could go ANYwhere. :-(
[17:44] <Mistyck> I'm doing England/Scotland and hopefully Ireland
next year
[17:44] <RainbowDragon> Annie: you look good for a 150 year old :-)
[17:44] <Sedina> that's my thought exactly, KK
[17:44] <KK> lol
[17:44] <Annie> aw shucks
[17:44] <Wrengl> lol
[17:44] <Debbie-VB> I know that feeling annie. Last year was my very
first con
[17:44] <christophle> but can they be eel sized?
[17:44] <Mistyck> now that would be interesting to make them that
small
[17:44] <KK> Depends on the eel.
[17:44] * cherie is going to columbus OH to be surrounded by horsies
in two weeks thats as far as she's going.
[17:45] <christophle> lol
[17:45] <Wrengl> hum, it would be difficult for an eel to wear the
Great Kilt, me thinks
[17:45] <Laura> Nessie in a kilt...now there's an interesting visual
[17:45] * JastaElf imagines eel-sized things in kilts and shakes her
head to clear the image....
[17:45] <christophle> conga?
[17:45] <Annie> oh no, I've really started something here
[17:45] <the_Bee> you need a verra small kilt or a verra large eel
[17:45] <KK> LOL, Jasta!
[17:45] <Annie> so much for standing quietly by the wall ;-)
[17:45] <christophle> a dancing eel in a kilt!
[17:45] <Wrengl> lol
[17:45] <cherie> not possible annie:)
[17:45] <Wrengl> what an image
[17:45] * Dov much prefers shortbread.
[17:45] <Mistyck> yep Annie
[17:45] <Bynw> LOL Jasta, a bit of TMI
[17:46] * Debbie-VB wouldn't mind seeing Viggo in a kilt
[17:46] <Mistyck> welcome to our chatroom
[17:46] <JastaElf> Shortbread in a kilt, Dov???
[17:46] <cherie> mmmmmm Vigo.;P
[17:46] <Wrengl> lol jasta
[17:46] <Annie> Viggo in a kilt sounds good to me
[17:46] <Dov> No kilt.
[17:46] <Annie> lol
[17:46] <the_Bee> Nessie is Scottish, why shouldn't s/he wear a kilt?
Urquart tartan maybe?
[17:46] <Mistyck> ooh, that sounds even better...Viggo sans Kilt
[17:46] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Me too, Annie ;-)
[17:46] <Laura> BTW, Happy St Pat's day to all a few days early
[17:46] <cherie> nah needs to be some mysttery left
[17:47] <Dennis> Thanks, Laura. And to you, too.
[17:47] <Mistyck> Same to you Laura
[17:47] <The_Cat_Whisperer> I agree, Cherie
[17:47] <Debbie-VB> St. Pat's day is not one of my faves, ever since a
close friend died of cancer on that day
[17:47] <cherie> Besides I only love him for his horse
[17:47] <KK> It's apt to be a rainy St. Patrick's Day here.
[17:47] <Wrengl> same to you laura
[17:47] * JastaElf hugs VB
[17:48] <RainbowDragon> Do they do anything special on St Pat's day
there, KK?
[17:48] <Mistyck> they already turned the Chicago river green...
[17:48] <Wrengl> rain and snow predicted for St. Pat's Day here
[17:48] <Sedina> huggles, VB
[17:48] <Debbie-VB> thanks Jasta. I still miss her, after 3 yrs.
[17:48] <Mistyck> ughh to all not having a good St Pat's day
[17:48] <Wrengl> huggles vb
[17:48] <KK> It's gotten to be more and more of a spectacle. It's out
national holiday, after all.
[17:48] <Mistyck> huggles, VB
[17:48] <Sedina> it's actually supposed to be fairly nice here for St.
Pat's...of course, it is March, the forecast could change before then
[17:48] <Dov> How's the renovation going, KK?
[17:48] <cherie> My husband died 5 years ago march 24 so I'm not a big
fan either
[17:48] <Dennis> The Charles is green, but I don't think it's for St.
Patrick's.
[17:48] <JastaElf> National holidays can be good things,. They can
also be... excessive.
[17:48] <Wrengl> we often get a blizzard for st pat's day
[17:49] * JastaElf thinks rhapsodically of the Charles.... :-)
[17:49] <KK> We had snow last week, but it didn't stick down here.
But there was snow up on the hills.
[17:49] <Tika> we're getting one tomorrow, Wrengl... should be at your
location just in time
[17:49] <crabclaw> when is pat's day?
[17:49] <Debbie-VB> but I understand that green guinness is more
prevalent in the Us then it is in ireland
[17:49] * cherie tries to pronounce rhapsodically in her head and
can't
[17:49] <the_Bee> March 17
[17:49] * Wrengl remembers one town in mass that routed the parade
past 97 bars
[17:49] <KK> Yes, we don't do silly things like that.
[17:49] <crabclaw> oh yea
[17:49] <Sedina> snow and rain just doesn't sound a good combination,
KK, considering that you're still lacking windows
[17:49] <KK> Wednesday, March 17.
[17:49] <crabclaw> next wednesday -- good
[17:49] <Dennis> LOL! That's a lotta bars.
[17:50] <christophle> well, guys. Gotta go, Iv'e been up since 7:30
and I've worked all day, and I'm ready for bed. ( it's now 23:50hrs).

[17:50] <Wrengl> night christophle
[17:50] <ethan> good night Chris
[17:50] <Dennis> That's gotta be a pretty big town.
[17:50] * christophle steps on to the portal and disappears
[17:50] <christophle> c u all.
[17:50] * christophle Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[17:50] <Sedina> brr, KK
[17:51] <JastaElf> Sounds like lively weather, KK!
[17:51] <Mistyck> hope you had the fires going
[17:51] <Debbie-VB> BTW, katherine, I finished my very first try at
fan-fic, and submitted it to Julianne.
[17:51] <cherie> and I thought having no heat was a problem
[17:51] <Sedina> It sounds like we've got better weather in ND than
you've got there right now
[17:51] <Wrengl> indeed
[17:51] <RainbowDragon> hopefully you have functioning fireplaces
[17:51] <KK> Yep, but I've got to order oil tomorrow. Must have
before Wednesday.
[17:51] <the_Bee> are darkover 2003 pics on the web yet? what address
[17:51] <cherie> How much is Oil there KK?
[17:51] <KK> We have two presently functioning fireplaces--three,
actually--but lots of radiators.
[17:52] <RainbowDragon> thats good
[17:52] <cherie> Mine was $1.60 this week
[17:52] <KK> It costs us around E450 for 1200 litres, which is about
$500-$550; not sure what the exchange is right now.
[17:53] <cherie> sound similar to here then
[17:53] <The_Cat_Whisperer> They are, Bee.
www.deryni.net/darkover03.html
[17:53] <cherie> too much money in any land
[17:53] <KK> And our petrol is 90p per litre, which is around $4.00
per gallon.
[17:53] <ethan> ouch
[17:53] <the_Bee> thanks CW
[17:53] <cherie> WOW! And I though $1.62 was bad
[17:53] <JastaElf> Owww... that's painful pricing!
[17:54] <KK> Yep. You'll understand why I don't have a lot of
patience for Mercans wingeing about gas prices. We've been paying
this for years.
[17:54] <cherie> That's like time to get the horse and catr out
[17:54] <Mistyck> Katherine: Any word on a Deryni Tales 2 or Templar
Anthos 4?
[17:54] <RainbowDragon> Mercans?
[17:54] <cherie> Americans
[17:54] <Annie> must have gone up recently KK - that's similar to ours
and inlaws used to drive to Republic from NI to fill up as it was a
lot cheaper
[17:54] <JastaElf> Amis. Americans.
[17:54] <KK> Not yet. And I haven't pushed, because I'm too far
behind on the current book.
[17:54] <the_Bee> americans
[17:54] <Mistyck> ahh, ok
[17:55] <Laura> I think Mercans are whiny Americans
[17:55] <Dov> Will this one give more details on "The Green Tower?"
[17:55] <Wrengl> indeed
[17:55] <RainbowDragon> I see
[17:55] <Mistyck> yep yep
[17:55] <cherie> Well considering what I have too live on I'll just
keep on whining thanks
[17:55] * JastaElf admits, tho, that she read "Mercians" for "Mercans"
at first... :-)
[17:55] <JastaElf> Been thinking of King Arthur too much. ;-)
[17:55] <Wrengl> i believe gasoline is about 3 a gallon on the west
coast
[17:55] <Mistyck> lol
[17:55] <KK> Nope. Picks up when Alaric is nearly three, and Kenneth
is about to be made Earl of Lendour for life.
[17:55] <Wrengl> 2 on the east
[17:55] * crabclaw Quit
[17:56] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Or is it WINEY, Laura?
[17:56] <Mistyck> it's about $1.50 here
[17:56] <Laura> lol
[17:56] <Wrengl> it is the 1.799 a gallon for heating oil that gets us
[17:56] <Laura> could be
[17:56] <Debbie-VB> I'm so waiting for
[17:56] <Mistyck> yikes Pat!
[17:56] <the_Bee> winey in Napa Valley
[17:56] <Debbie-VB> childe Morgan
[17:56] <Dov> OK, thanks.
[17:56] <ethan> it's about 1.85 here on the north coast
[17:56] <cherie> Can't wait to read it KK
[17:56] <Dennis> I guess Donal's not long for the new book, then.
[17:57] * JastaElf sobs... she likes Donal....
[17:57] <KK> And if I hope to finish it, I'd better knock off for
tonight and go to bed, since it's nearly pumpkin time here.
[17:57] <Wrengl> especially when you live in an uninsallated stone
house
[17:57] <Wrengl> think castle
[17:57] <Mistyck> ok, g'nite KK and have a great week next week
[17:57] <Wrengl> night katherine

[17:57] <JastaElf> Well, rest well KK and please let Scott know we're

[17:57] <Wrengl> it was a near thing

[17:58] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves good night, and disappears
in a shower of green sparkles.
