[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:06:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The ring was originally a solitaire of Mom's birthstone, and then my stepdad had his and my birthstones added to it, and I've been wanting to add the Pod-Child's for, oh, 25 years or so now, but better late than never.
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:06:26 PM EDT] <judyward> 'bout time you put her on, then!
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:06:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It'll be Mom's birthday present this year (her birthday is in August).
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:06:41 PM EDT] <Derynifank> So true
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:06:45 PM EDT] <Shiral> Pod-child had to be found worthy, DR. =o)
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:07:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, that, or get a job so she could contribute to the present. (She and I and my stepdad are splitting the cost equally; it wasn't hugely expensive, but it was out of my budget on my own.)
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:07:49 PM EDT] <bynw> i'm sure your mom will love the addition
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:07:57 PM EDT] <judyward> Jewelry work can be expensive!
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:08:10 PM EDT] <KK> Well, I think I'd better go roust Cameron, who has been having a nice Sunday afternoon nap; still catching up on sleep, after two days on the road to get here. He's doing some oriental noodle concoction for supper tonight. Great to have him here and willing to cook. And he's a good cook, too. Not so great at cleaning up the kitchen, but hey, nobody's perfect. :-)
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:08:16 PM EDT] <Derynifank> I know she will be thrilled with the ring
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:08:20 PM EDT] <Shiral> Jewelry period can be expensive
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:08:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But since she works full time and is also going to school pretty close to full time, I think she was glad I proposed doing the legwork to get a birhday gift for Mom from all of us, because that means she didn't have to think of something. :D
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:08:36 PM EDT] <bynw> cooking is an important skill
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:08:39 PM EDT] <judyward> You going, KK?
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:08:48 PM EDT] <Shiral> Thanks for joining us, KK. Wishing you and Cameron good progress on the excavation process
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:08:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mom knows. I gave up on being able to sneak it away from her, and I'm actually glad I did, because it needs sizing up about a quarter-size so Mom can get it over her arthritic knuckle and wear it again.
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:08:58 PM EDT] <judyward> He cooks, you clean!
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:09:09 PM EDT] <judyward> Have a good week, KK!
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:09:16 PM EDT] <KK> I can live with that!
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:09:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Thanks for coming to see us, KK! Have a good week! See you next week, normal time?
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:09:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Say Hi to Cameron for us, KK. Thanks for coming and have a good week.
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:09:37 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Glad Cameron is home KK. Know you are enjoying having him.
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:09:44 PM EDT] <bynw> thanks for coming KK, give Cameron our best as well.
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:09:45 PM EDT] <KK> See you all next week at our usual time. And have a great week, everyone.
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:09:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> G'night, KK!
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:09:55 PM EDT] <Shiral> Ear scritches to the cats, and Booker, too
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:10:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi to Cameron and pettings to the critters!
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:10:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thanks, we wiill, I hope.
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:10:06 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:10:24 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters!
[Sunday, June 2, 2019] [7:10:32 PM EDT] <Derynifank> Nite KK
