[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:11:46 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi KK
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:11:47 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:11:48 PM EDT] <jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:11:56 PM EDT] Nick Washburn is now known as Laurna.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:11:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello KK
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:12:01 PM EDT] <revanne> More than Darcy is currently getting😊
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:12:04 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, folks.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:12:09 PM EDT] <revanne> Hi KK
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:12:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL for a good reason Revanne
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:12:21 PM EDT] <Jerusha> So he wishes!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:12:26 PM EDT] <omandoc> Nope. Action didn't work
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:12:33 PM EDT] <omandoc> Hi KK
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:12:48 PM EDT] <bynw> omandoc: are you on a tablet and is it actually typing the / character?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:13:00 PM EDT] <Evie> DFK, are you using / and not \?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:13:05 PM EDT] <jemler> try logging out, then back in. restart the program.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:13:32 PM EDT] <revanne> How's this week been KK?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:14:03 PM EDT] <Evie> I wondered why I kept hearing quiet talking in the background, and then realized I still had Bynw's video playing in an endless loop behind this window. LOL!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:14:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:14:22 PM EDT] <omandoc> What I type just disappeared but says I have 3 unread messages. Confusing
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:14:47 PM EDT] <revanne> Lol
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:14:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> We had our first cool night last night let me get some good sleep in.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:15:15 PM EDT] <revanne> We had our first frost last night.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:15:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> "Frost?" shiver
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:15:41 PM EDT] <bynw> where does it say 3 unread messages? click on it or touch it
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:15:41 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Our fireplace has been runnung all weekend
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:15:43 PM EDT] <KK> It's a bit less hot today; not necessarily much cooler. Will this summer heat never end?!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:15:43 PM EDT] <Laurna> We finally got below 60
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:16:01 PM EDT] <revanne> That's why I am currently snuggled with two hot water bottles
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:16:02 PM EDT] <Evie> Are you typing it in the same place you would type to chat in the chat window, or somewhere else?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:16:04 PM EDT] <bynw> it's 56 degrees here and raining ... not summer anyu longer for me
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:16:17 PM EDT] <jemler> it's 83 here now
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:16:27 PM EDT] <Jerusha> It's 6C here
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:16:41 PM EDT] <Evie> It feels like August here still.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:16:57 PM EDT] <drakensis> it doesn't here
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:17:09 PM EDT] <Evie> Leaves are still mostly dark green
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:17:13 PM EDT] <drakensis> not winter, but it's certainly no longer summer
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:17:27 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Ours are brilliant fall colours
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:17:43 PM EDT] <omandoc> I did log out and back in. No change
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:17:44 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Leaves, that is
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:17:57 PM EDT] <revanne> The leaves are turning here. We have some gorgeous maples in our nearby park.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:18:08 PM EDT] <bynw> omandoc: are you on a computer or mobile device?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:18:18 PM EDT] <omandoc> Tablet
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:18:36 PM EDT] <KK> Bynw actually send me a new link to try last week, but I forgot when I was logging in today. I think it's in my phone.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:18:39 PM EDT] <bynw> is the chat loaded in the irccloud app or a browser window?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:18:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> We don;t get the pretty fall colors here.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:18:58 PM EDT] <bynw> thats OK Katherine, always another day :)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:19:00 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Or snow
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:19:12 PM EDT] <jemler> log out. exit the program. reload the program. log in.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:19:15 PM EDT] <Evie> We don't get them as much here either. We get some reds and yellows, the occasional bit of orange-rust, but a lot of brown
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:19:28 PM EDT] <revanne> Not liking the darker evenings though.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:19:29 PM EDT] <omandoc> I clicked on it under chat and went from there
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:19:43 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I agree, revanne
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:19:44 PM EDT] <Evie> I think you have to live somewhere colder than here earlier in the season to get the really vibrant colors
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:20:02 PM EDT] <bynw> omandoc: then its probably in a browser window chrome or firefox depending on your tablet's default browser unless its an apple device
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:20:36 PM EDT] <omandoc> Not apple
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:20:41 PM EDT] <KK> No color here yet, though there are a lot of dead leaves on the ground, probably blown loose by the remnabts of hurricane a few weeks back.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:20:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> The leaves are green one day and then they fall off the tree on the first bout of wind. No pretty colors. unless you have a liquid elm try or Japenise elm. Those stay small but are very pretty
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:20:52 PM EDT] <revanne> Our autumn colours are usually pretty good
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:21:13 PM EDT] <bynw> omandoc: if you didn't install the irccloud app yourself then it's the web browser that its loaded in
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:21:36 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Ours are awesome this year
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:21:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> nice Jerusha
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:21:53 PM EDT] <omandoc> Guess I'lll just have to stay Omandoc which is part of my email
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:22:15 PM EDT] <drakensis> it is your alias now
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:22:19 PM EDT] <bynw> omandoc: do you see either a icon that looks like a gear or looks like 3 horizontal lines?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:22:28 PM EDT] <revanne> Had a walk in Sherwood Forest on Friday - some amazing old oak trees - one about 600 years old. No Robin Hood though.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:22:32 PM EDT] <omandoc> We still have august here
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:22:57 PM EDT] <omandoc> On my desktop
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:22:59 PM EDT] <Jerusha> No Friar Tuck, either?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:23:04 PM EDT] <bynw> or 3 dots that are on top of one another
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:23:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> Little John did not stop you from crossing a creak. no did he. And Frey Tuck was not there to greet you?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:23:17 PM EDT] <omandoc> See the dots
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:23:30 PM EDT] <jemler> omandoc, where are you?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:23:43 PM EDT] <omandoc> Love the idea of a walk in Sherwin a forest
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:23:53 PM EDT] <revanne> Nope - nor the Sherrif of Nottingham
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:24:05 PM EDT] <Laurna> Is Serwood Forest a thicker Forest than most?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:24:19 PM EDT] <omandoc> In Norfolk Virginia
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:24:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> I would think it would be very touristly with pathways that everyone wants to walk through.

[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:28:09 PM EDT] <KK> Where in the world did that name come from?

[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:30:17 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, DR.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:30:41 PM EDT] <revanne> Me too Laurna
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:30:43 PM EDT] <Evie> I did my Happy Anniversary call to my folks a couple of hours ago.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:30:49 PM EDT] <Evie> They are all set to move here this week.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:30:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> Duncan it is like magic madelions.. lets you stay in touch with your friends. lol
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:30:57 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi DR, hope you are continuing to improve health wise
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:30:59 PM EDT] <revanne> Hi DR
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:31:32 PM EDT] <revanne> I hope the move goes smoothly for them
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:31:36 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is a fast move. I hope it all goes smoothly.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:31:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> my mom just sold her place and is moving next week too.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:32:00 PM EDT] <derynifank> That's exciting Evie. Know you will be glad to have them close and settled
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:32:15 PM EDT] <bynw> derynifank: after the chat hang around for some tech support. you may have to answer some technical questions about your tablet there too
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:32:17 PM EDT] <Duncan> I know, Lady Laurna. I enjoy chat nights. They don't involve boiling water, wooden dowels, or other unpleasantness.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:32:29 PM EDT] <derynifank> Ok
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:32:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't know. I was doing better, but today I'm just exhausted, and everything is blurry at any distance unless I look through the "reading"/lower part of my bifocals. I'm going to call my primary care doctor in the morning about that, and I actually have an appointment already scheduled with my neurologist (just a follow up but well timed) tomorrow as well.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:32:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol Very Good to hear Duncan
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:32:56 PM EDT] <jemler> good luck.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:33:52 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hope all goes well tomorrow DR
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:34:01 PM EDT] <KK> Good luck!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:34:03 PM EDT] <Evie> Good timing on that appointment
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:34:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> DR I hope you feel better soon. That cold took me 5 full weeks to get through. you don't realize how sick you are until you start feeling better.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:34:13 PM EDT] <revanne> Sorry you're not too good DR
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:35:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> I was finaly perscribed steroids to get rid of the cough
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:35:08 PM EDT] <derynifank> Really have my fingers crossed that you will feel better soon
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:35:10 PM EDT] <KK> Reminding people to be sure to get their flu shots. Flu is nothing to ignore.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:35:29 PM EDT] <jemler> got mine thursday at the clinic.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:35:31 PM EDT] <Evie> I just got my shot last week. They are free at my workplace.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:36:00 PM EDT] <KK> I got mine 2 weeks ago, and Scott got his Friday.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:36:03 PM EDT] * revanne wonders what His Excellency is doing with Wooden dowels and boiling water , then realises it might have to do with missing heads.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:36:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> EECK
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:36:30 PM EDT] <derynifank> Went with my husband yo his doctor and they gave both of us a flu shot
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:36:43 PM EDT] <KK> So, Evie, how close will your parents be to where you are?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:36:57 PM EDT] <Duncan> I have as little as possible to do with such instruments of torture.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:36:59 PM EDT] <jemler> my thoughts on that would be better discussed i confession. :)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:37:12 PM EDT] <Evie> They'll be about 15 minutes away
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:37:15 PM EDT] <jemler> my thoughts on that would be better discussed in confession. :)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:37:24 PM EDT] <KK> Not bad. Nice place?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:37:29 PM EDT] <Laurna> Right Jemler?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:37:49 PM EDT] <Evie> Lovely apartment complex. I haven't seen the actual unit they'll be in, but the model apartment was really nice.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:37:49 PM EDT] <derynifank> But the flu is eorks torture than the shot
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:38:08 PM EDT] <revanne> Too lazy to go downstairs and get a purple stole so you're safe Jemler.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:38:30 PM EDT] <KK> I had an itchy arm for nearly a week, but not as bad as a mosquito bite. It went away.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:38:39 PM EDT] <Evie> True, DFK, but I think His Excellency was referring to boiling water and wooden stakes, not the flu shot.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:38:40 PM EDT] <derynifank> Worse
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:38:53 PM EDT] <revanne> Sounds really good Evie
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:39:27 PM EDT] <derynifank> Oh
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:39:31 PM EDT] <jemler> if the catholic church ever had female priests, would the ritual be "Bless me Mother, for I have sinned"?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:39:37 PM EDT] <KK> The new pre-loaded syringes have really tiny needles, and are nearly painless. I didn't feel mine, and neither did Mother or Scott.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:40:28 PM EDT] <revanne> Some Anglican women priests are called Mother so possibly.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:40:29 PM EDT] * bynw doesnt like needles
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:41:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> My mom just dropped off her twodogs so she can move easily this comming week. Poor Winnie is staring at me like"Where did mom go?"
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:41:32 PM EDT] <Evie> I'm not a huge fan of needles myself, but I barely feel the flu shot needle.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:41:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> Need to do some puppy hugging.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:41:39 PM EDT] <derynifank> No one likes needles but prefer it to having the flu which is worse and lasts and lot longer
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:41:44 PM EDT] * revanne agrees with Bynw
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:42:00 PM EDT] <bynw> poor puppy

[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:43:36 PM EDT] <Evie> How is LBM?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:44:02 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've never had a problem with needles (not that it's fun to get a shot or blood drawn or whatever, but it's just not a thing that causes me any particular anxiety), but yeah, the sore arm and the malaise the next day beat the flu, no contest.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:44:32 PM EDT] <Evie> I just had a very mildly sore arm this time around.

[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:44:43 PM EDT] <bynw> hi bee'
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:44:46 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi bee
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:44:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And I have voluntarily and purely for decorative purposes had three holes pierced in both ear lobes and one hole in the cartilage of the right ear, so. :D
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:44:52 PM EDT] <jemler> hi bee
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:44:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:44:54 PM EDT] <KK> LBM is doing pretty well. A twingey back today, but she took an Aleve and I've got her icing it. She was doing better when I left.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:44:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi everyone
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:45:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ow, not fun, but hopefully not serious (re: LBM's back).
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:45:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> good to hear LBM is doing better
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:45:35 PM EDT] <Evie> I can tell I have an aspiring pastry chef for a daughter, because when you mentioned icing it, my mind automatically went to "What sort of frosting?" LOL!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:45:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:45:50 PM EDT] <bynw> LOL
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:45:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Evie, that kind of icing is WAY more fun than icing an injury/painful body part!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:46:09 PM EDT] <Evie> If the icing doesn't help, try fondant. ;-)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:46:11 PM EDT] <derynifank> True
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:46:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:46:15 PM EDT] <bynw> are you talking a 7 minute frosting? a rich buttercream ...
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:46:36 PM EDT] <The_Bee> LBM could lick her wounds.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:46:46 PM EDT] <Evie> Hopefully the icing (with ice!) will help
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:46:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I want to find a recipe that mimics that bakery frosting that's very light and almost tastes like whipped cream, but it's a little thicker than whipped cream.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:47:24 PM EDT] <KK> I'd love to find that out, too. Love that kind of frosting.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:47:42 PM EDT] <Evie> I picked up a pair of socks to make a doll sweater from today. It has little pizza slices knit into the pattern, so it should make a fun sweater.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:47:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I had the Publix (supermarket) bakery bake a birthday cake for my ex-fiance (when he wasn't an ex), and he wanted yellow cake with that light frosting and strawberry compote between the layers. That was an a-freaking-mazing cake! So yummy!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:48:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> confectioner's sssugar, but I can't think what else.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:48:16 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds wonderful.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:48:25 PM EDT] <Evie> That does sound good
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:48:33 PM EDT] <KK> Probabloy cream, too.'
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:48:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, yeah, probably confectioner's sugar (icing sugar across the pond), maybe some kind of dairy product (whole milk or cream), maybe even some egg whites for that light texture.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:49:18 PM EDT] <bynw> now i'm hungery
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:49:26 PM EDT] <KK> Don't think egg whites. Not the right texture.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:49:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My mother has taken to watching The Great British Baking Show, so she and I have started to converse in UK English where food ingredients are concerned.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:49:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> That whipcream like butter icing will be on the wedding cake. The taste test was delicous.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:49:47 PM EDT] <derynifank> I love that light icing
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:49:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, you're right, the egg whites would make it too stiff, even if you beat the daylights out of them.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:50:18 PM EDT] * Evie imagines DR standing over the egg whites, flogging them
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:50:23 PM EDT] <jemler> load up your web browsers, search for 'bakery frosting'. you get all sorts of hits.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:50:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Uh, no.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:50:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> We tried the surgery icing at the same time but it was awful in comparison.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:50:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Beating with a whisk or an electric mixer. I am not a kitchen dominatrix.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:50:59 PM EDT] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:51:03 PM EDT] <KK> While our California friend was visiting a few weeks ago, he introduced us to "Chopped." Interesting program.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:51:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:51:25 PM EDT] <Evie> sugary icing, Laurna? Because surgery icing makes me wonder what the heck goes on at your hospital! ;-)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:51:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:51:33 PM EDT] <bynw> my wife watches everything almost on the food network
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:51:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> www.allrecipescom List "frosting" plus one or two ingredients
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:51:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> No for the wedding cake.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:52:05 PM EDT] <Evie> Yes, I know. I meant the sugary vs surgery bit
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:52:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hey, the surgeon(s) and anesthesiologist(s) and support staff might get hungry during a long procedure!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:52:08 PM EDT] <derynifank> Surgery icing? What were you cutting ?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:52:11 PM EDT] Nick The_Bee is now known as Bee.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:52:22 PM EDT] <bynw> KK: Chopped is a great show. Basket has 2-3 things that go together and then 1-2 things that should be with the others. Make something good
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:52:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> HEHE yes oh yes
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:52:59 PM EDT] <Evie> brb, going to put up my bowl before Luke tries to get into it
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:53:06 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I mean, a lot of surgical procedures are fairly quick (I'm not sure I've ever had one that went over two or three hours), but some of the really complex ones can take a while.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:53:08 PM EDT] <KK> Some ingenious out-of-the-box thinking sometimes, re ingredients.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:53:08 PM EDT] <Evie> (Had dinner just as chat began)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:53:10 PM EDT] <revanne> DS introduced me to that baking show DR

[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:53:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi MerchantDeryni
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:53:42 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi MD

[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:54:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I like the cooking competition shows like The Great British Baking Show and Masterchef: Kids, where they're competitive but not mean to each other.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:54:19 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> Hello: oh dear god the tryptophan. 2 plates of turkey, stuffing,corn and potatoes and rolls.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:54:20 PM EDT] <KK> Separating conjoined twins would come to mind, re long procedures. THankfully, none of us have had to endure same.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:54:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> There's enough mean behavior in the world; I don't really want it in my entertainment.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:54:29 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi Merchand Deryni
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:54:35 PM EDT] <Evie> LOL, MD!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:54:39 PM EDT] <Evie> Sounds good
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:54:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, that, and probably some trauma-repair procedures.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:54:44 PM EDT] <Evie> Starting Thanksgiving early?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:54:55 PM EDT] <bynw> not in canada
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:55:08 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> Turkey day was today in Canada. yummy
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:55:10 PM EDT] <Evie> Ah, true
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:55:28 PM EDT] <Evie> I didn't realize you were in our neighbor country to the north
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:55:38 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> so now my husky is pacing around because she knows she gets mashed potatoes and stuffing in her kibble
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:55:49 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> Yeah I am a Canuck.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:55:49 PM EDT] <Evie> :-D
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:55:51 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> eh
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:55:51 PM EDT] <revanne> Turkeys over the pond get lucky until December
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:56:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> I hope you left us enough turkey for our Nov meal.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:56:05 PM EDT] <Evie> lol
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:56:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, shucks. I have Canadian Thanksgiving marked on the RC calendar as tomorrow. Did I use a bad source?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:56:34 PM EDT] <KK> Lucky husky.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:56:36 PM EDT] <Laurna> Is it eh or ah
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:56:41 PM EDT] <Evie> All our US turkeys mourn their Canadian relatives and wonder how long a flight it is to the UK
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:56:50 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> it is tomorrow. But my wife made it today.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:56:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:56:53 PM EDT] <revanne> Lol
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:56:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, okay, cool.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:57:11 PM EDT] <derynifank> They keep making holiday season earlier . Eventually they will be back where they started
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:57:17 PM EDT] <KK> Is tomorrow a holiday, then?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:57:20 PM EDT] <Bee> same as our Columbus Day?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:57:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I just didn't want to have the date wrong. A few months ago, I had the thought, "Hey, not all our users are in the US, so I ought to include non-US holidays on the forum calendar."
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:57:37 PM EDT] <jemler> Merchanderyni, while I did not vote for him, I would like to offer my apologies regarding President Trump.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:57:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hey, can we not with political talk?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:58:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's a pretty contentious topic, and this is not the place for it.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:58:02 PM EDT] <Bee> Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:58:33 PM EDT] <bynw> no political chat please jemler . thank you. unless it is the politics of the 11 Kingdoms
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:58:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sail the ocean blue
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:58:47 PM EDT] <KK> Yep, lots of people passionate on both sides of the political spectrum. Nuff said.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:59:21 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> Yes tomorrow is a holiday here in Canada
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:59:46 PM EDT] <Bee> here in the USA too
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:59:46 PM EDT] <bynw> i'll happily create a politics channel if people want to use it :)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [5:59:53 PM EDT] <Evie> Just a friendly reminder of our forum Code of Conduct: http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php/topic,2301.0.html
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:00:00 PM EDT] <revanne> We don't have a holiday now until Christmas 😕
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:00:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> KK in your saints days at the end of the codex I found a day called Chirsterpher day. for the patron saint of travelers. it would be Lu;y 26
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:00:10 PM EDT] <derynifank> Canadian Thanksgiving?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:00:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> July 26
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:00:19 PM EDT] <KK> Nothing's closed, though.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:00:26 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> Yes tomorrow is CAnadaian Thanksgiving.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:00:42 PM EDT] <Evie> I wondered about the month of Lucy. ;-)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:01 PM EDT] <derynifank> Happy Thanksgiving to our neighbors to the north
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:04 PM EDT] <Bee> a whole month?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:05 PM EDT] <Laurna> I was wondering if that had any backing to Christopher Columbus. or if there was another Christopher he traveled at a much earlier time?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The youngest Pevensie and the girl in the blue dress from the Peanuts comic strip would like there to be a month of Lucy. :D
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:21 PM EDT] <Laurna> Stipid rented fingers
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> stupid
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:33 PM EDT] <bynw> lol
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:35 PM EDT] <derynifank> Lol
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:36 PM EDT] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:39 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> Just a day to give thanks for the harvest, according the the 1957 proclamation. Been celebrated since 1879
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> St. Christopher, I believe, lived much earlier than Christopher Columbus.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:01:49 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(Canada)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:02:07 PM EDT] <Bee> Saint Christopher. Legend said he carried a child across a river. The child turned out to be Jesus.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:02:11 PM EDT] <bynw> yes St Christopher is not Christopher Columbus
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:02:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Per a quick wiki search, St. Christopher died in 251 CE/AD, so yeah, way before Columbus.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:02:40 PM EDT] <Evie> The name means "Christ-bearer," IIRC
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:02:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It does.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:02:49 PM EDT] <derynifank> St. Christopher, patron saint of travelers
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:02:53 PM EDT] <bynw> yeah St Christoper is about 1500 years before Columbus
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:03:09 PM EDT] <bynw> yes Christopher does. I know it for a fact.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:03:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Columbus signed his name with the "Christ" part in Greek lettering and the "opher" section in Latin.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:03:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> Ha now i understand
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:03:26 PM EDT] <KK> I think he ws official demoted a number of years back, but people still regard him the patron saint of travelers.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:03:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If you look up images of Columbus' signature.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:03:30 PM EDT] <revanne> Although I think he was demoted to being of doubtful provenance at Vatican II I still have a medallion in my car
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:03:31 PM EDT] <KK> Can't hurt.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:03:42 PM EDT] <bynw> yes he was and the people rejected that idea
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:03:50 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> Christopher Columbus is the patron saint of seredipitous travel. Go looking for India, find the Americas :P
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:03:56 PM EDT] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:04:10 PM EDT] <KK> That sounds about right.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:04:13 PM EDT] <Evie> He was looking for those darn transfer portals
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:04:13 PM EDT] <bynw> well to be fair he didnt know there was another continant in the way
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:04:15 PM EDT] <derynifank> Lol MD
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:04:31 PM EDT] <KK> If he'd pai attention to the Vikings....
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:04:39 PM EDT] <revanne> Given the age of my car I need plenty of help
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:04:42 PM EDT] <Evie> The ancient Greeks could have told him he had his estimate of the Earth's circumference wrong.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:04:51 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> See in my fanfic Universe he would have discovered Camberland. They would have taken over that area by 1492
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:04:53 PM EDT] <bynw> well no one paid attention to them except to make sure they werent being attacked again
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:05:01 PM EDT] <drakensis> I'm going to go crawl off to bed. cya

[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:06:44 PM EDT] <bynw> so i opened up #soapbox for those who want to talk politics since it might be nice to have a place for it since it;s not in here :)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:06:55 PM EDT] <revanne> I'm going to follow suit - busy day tomorrow. Somewhere north Midlands I think Drakensis said.

[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:09:03 PM EDT] <Evie> I think it had something to do with our game
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:09:17 PM EDT] <jemler> drakensis was using skybroadband.com, in GB.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:09:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> than I reallly hope it had a good feeling.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:09:26 PM EDT] <Evie> :-D
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:09:49 PM EDT] <bynw> there are some NPCs that have Deryni dreams too in that game of ours
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:09:58 PM EDT] <derynifank> Laurna, so happy that Wash is free at Kas
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:10:05 PM EDT] <derynifank> Last
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:10:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> KK after months of captivity, my character is free.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:10:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> We have been playing almost a full year, now.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:11:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> the anniversary will be coming up.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:11:21 PM EDT] <bynw> almost. it was just around the US turkey day when we started
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:11:37 PM EDT] <jemler> my anniversary is thursday.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:11:40 PM EDT] <bynw> for the characters its been a few scant weeks
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:11:48 PM EDT] <bynw> if that
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:11:57 PM EDT] <Duncan> All my dreams are Deryni dreams.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:12:16 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> Long running campaigns are a lot of fun. I ran a D& campaign for 5 years, and we have a Musketeers game (All for One) that is almost at 6 years.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:12:31 PM EDT] <Evie> Wash was only a captive for a few days in game time!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:12:32 PM EDT] <derynifank> Wow
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:12:39 PM EDT] <Bee> What took Wash so long to get free? Were the dice always against him?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:12:43 PM EDT] <bynw> my other game has been going since 1983
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:12:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Torenthi cursed dice
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:12:55 PM EDT] <derynifank> Wicked five
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:13:12 PM EDT] <KK> For the gamers among you, I met an interesting guy at Dragoncon, Aleron Kong, who has written a series of books based on role playing games. He gave me a copy of the first one, and I finished it a couple of days ago. Interesting read. He writes well.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:13:14 PM EDT] <derynifank> Dice. I HATE ac
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:13:20 PM EDT] <Evie> It was only 3 or 4 days in-game, Bee, but it took us months to plot it and get it written.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:13:38 PM EDT] <Bee> aaah, okay
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:13:59 PM EDT] <KK> He's also an MD.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:14:10 PM EDT] <derynifank> Everyone did a great job
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:14:21 PM EDT] <Evie> That's a cool combo--doctor, gamer, writer.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:14:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> Nice KK
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:14:31 PM EDT] <KK> I now understand a bit more about what makes rpg's so intriguing for so many of you.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:14:57 PM EDT] <Evie> It's like getting to be a character in your favorite fantasy series.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:15:05 PM EDT] <Bee> The RPG I'm used to are shorter, a few weeks at most.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:15:07 PM EDT] <bynw> KK: You didnt learn that with Ann and having some fun with DAG? :)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:15:14 PM EDT] <Evie> and not knowing how things will turn out because it's up to the dice rolls sometimes
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:15:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> and up to what others in the game do
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:15:51 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> We also have shorter games. Playing a session tomorrow in "Achtung Cthulu" WW2 with nazis and cthulu
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:15:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> Can not plan too far ahead
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:16:08 PM EDT] <bynw> the dice giveth and the dice taketh away
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:16:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> and take and take and oh wait that roll gave me this. COOL
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:16:36 PM EDT] <Duncan> Not knowing how often your author will dose you or your cousin with merasha.... 😉
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:16:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:16:51 PM EDT] <bynw> that;s true Laurna, i;ve had to scrap a lot of ideas due to player actions with their characters and then come up with something on the fly
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:17:12 PM EDT] <KK> He doesn't go into the dice aspect. The main character gets somehow transported into an rpg, and he sets up the stats icons. I found those a bit intrusive, but he also tells a pretty interesting story. Lots to think about.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:17:44 PM EDT] <bynw> sounds somewhat similar to Guardians of the Flame series
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:18:28 PM EDT] <KK> Google him and you'll learn more. He seems to have quite a presence in cyberspace.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:18:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> Alaric most definitely rolled 1,1 when he got pricked with Merasha on the church gate.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:18:50 PM EDT] <bynw> i've written down his name :D
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:18:58 PM EDT] <Evie> Luke is here assuming I need a furry paperweight to hold my stomach down.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:19:31 PM EDT] <bynw> well cats know best
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:19:31 PM EDT] <Bee> Has yoour stomach been acting up?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:19:46 PM EDT] <Evie> No, aside from feeling like it has the weight of a fat cat on it.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:20:16 PM EDT] <Evie> A hot, fat cat
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:20:51 PM EDT] <Evie> It's like being pressed into the recliner by a vibrating, fur-covered hot water bottle.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:20:54 PM EDT] <bynw> my girl is like 12 pounds ... sad still that i only have one of them now. i sure miss her sister
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:21:18 PM EDT] <KK> Sasha was up here beside me for quite a while this afternoon, until he heard Scott making foog-getting noises in the kitchen.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:21:49 PM EDT] <derynifank> Have you thought about a new companion go both of you?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:21:53 PM EDT] <Evie> It's 89F here, so I need a fur-covered hot water bottle on me like I need another hole in my head!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:22:01 PM EDT] <Bee> only 12? I thought her breed were more like 20-25.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:22:01 PM EDT] <KK> 12 pounds is fairly heavy for a Bengal, isn't it? Especially a female.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:22:27 PM EDT] <bynw> not for a female ... males are a lot more
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:22:45 PM EDT] <bynw> my baby girl who is no longer with us: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Y5LW9SUSxF2W3Sw68
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:22:48 PM EDT] <KK> Well, clearly Bee and I have different impressions re Bengals.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:23:08 PM EDT] <Duncan> I'm more of a horse person. Thank God those don't sit on laps!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:23:25 PM EDT] <Bee> The name must haveconfused me. It reminds me of Bengal tigers.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:23:32 PM EDT] <KK> Even Bassets can be quite a lapful.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:23:53 PM EDT] <derynifank> Looks like a sweet kitty
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:23:56 PM EDT] <bynw> this is what you want bee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_cat
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:24:07 PM EDT] <bynw> make sure your sound is on for that video too
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:24:07 PM EDT] <Bee> Melantha is just over 11 pounds T last weeighing
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:24:15 PM EDT] <KK> No, Bee, I just had the impression that Bengal cats were more delicate, like Siamese--though they can also get pretty big.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:26:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> Now mom's other dog Bou is barking at me like where did Momgo? Let me do so more cuddling.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:27:03 PM EDT] <KK> Where is your mom moving to, Laurna?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:27:37 PM EDT] <Evie> I don't think you need much arm-twisting to give puppy cuddles,Laurna
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:28:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> Next town over from where she is at. About 20 minute drive from my house. she just wanted to be in a park with a club house and a swimming pool
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:28:20 PM EDT] <bynw> my grandpuppy ... a lab ... thinks she's a lapdog
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:28:54 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds like a good move, then.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:28:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Speaking of dogs, have y'all heard of Wolfenoot?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:29:03 PM EDT] <Evie> I have. :-D
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:29:07 PM EDT] <Bee> ??
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:29:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> Bou is a ShihTzue about 16 years ole. and Winnie is one of my older cavlaier spaniels
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:29:16 PM EDT] <derynifank> All big dogs think they are lap dogs
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:29:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's a holiday dreamed up by a seven-year-old boy in New Zealand who decided there should be a holiday celebrating wolves/dogs and the people who take care of them.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:29:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The inaugural celebration of the holiday is set for November 23. Celebrations included eating roast meat and a moon-shaped/decorated cake.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:30:16 PM EDT] <Bee> aand howling?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:30:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> There's a website at wolfenoot.com
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:30:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Howling is good too. :D
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:18 PM EDT] <KK> I've heard of it. Think it will take off?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> *include, not included
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:26 PM EDT] <Evie> I can just see Luke and Gigi's reaction if I decide to celebrate Wolfenoot by howling over roast meat and moon cake. LOL!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:38 PM EDT] <Bee> aanimal Planet has a sshow about veterans working with wolves. Titled "Wwwolves and Warriors" or ssomething like that.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:43 PM EDT] <Evie> Gigi will look at me as though I've lost my everloving mind!
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:53 PM EDT] <bynw> Some need to pray to the sun at high noon
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:53 PM EDT] <bynw> Need to howl at the midwinter moon
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:53 PM EDT] <bynw> Reborn and baptized in a moment of grace
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:53 PM EDT] <bynw> We just need a break
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:31:53 PM EDT] <bynw> From the headlong race
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:32:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It looks like it. There is a Facebook group called Wolfenoot Central that was created by the mother of the boy who came up with the holiday, and it's been very active.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:32:13 PM EDT] <KK> I've seen that, Bee. Sort of goes along with Put Bulls & Parolees.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:32:16 PM EDT] <Duncan> That would just confirm what we all suspect, Evie.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:32:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> My dogs would start barking like I had lost my everloving mind too.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:32:34 PM EDT] <Bee> www.wolfenoot.com
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:33:11 PM EDT] <Evie> :-P Duncan
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:33:25 PM EDT] <bynw> howling at the moon made me think of a Rush song ... :)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:33:48 PM EDT] <Evie> C'mon, they don't sound that bad.... ;-)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:33:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> I just saw the funniest cartoon caption. A vampire and a victim. the victim says that moon has no light of it's own, it is reflected sunlight. the vampire looks at the moon and disintegrates.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:34:24 PM EDT] <bynw> don't make me /kill you Evie .... that's why i posted the lyrics it reminded me of ....
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:34:24 PM EDT] <Bee> LOL
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:34:26 PM EDT] <KK> Can someone explain to me about thie patreon prefix that's starting to show up in websire addreses?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:34:49 PM EDT] <KK> Good one, Laurna.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:35:27 PM EDT] <bynw> Patreon is a fund raising site where creators can get money for creating content at different levels they offer different perks (sometimes)
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:35:33 PM EDT] <Bee> Is there also a matreon prefix for webdam addresses?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:35:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Patreon is a website where people can support artists/writers/other makers of content/things; you can subscribe (usually a monthly amount, and higher amounts tend to get you more access to special whatevers).
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:36:01 PM EDT] <Evie> I don't know about it showing up in addresses, but IIRC, Patreon is a crowdfunding site for supporting (i.e. being patrons of) an artist or creator of something you want to support
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:36:02 PM EDT] <KK> Ah. THank you.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:36:08 PM EDT] <bynw> I back a game company, the one that makes Tiny D6 as a patroen
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:36:25 PM EDT] <jemler> i use patreon to donate to a podcast i subscribe to. $5/episode.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:36:38 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> well I am off folks. Time to start cleaning up all the dishes from the turkey. Have a good night all. Chapter 5 of Pepper and Lace is up
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:36:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I wanted to do it for a couple of people but the website forces you to pay on the first of a month, and I don't get my disability until the third.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:36:48 PM EDT] <jemler> nite md
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:36:49 PM EDT] <bynw> i've thought about adding it to my blog to see if i could generate revenue from it
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:36:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I saw, MerchantDeryni, and I intend to go read it after chat!

[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:39:03 PM EDT] <Evie> MD is doing a fanfic story featuring merchants using Portals to establish trade routes in the 16th or 17th C., I think.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:39:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> I think it is Shakespearean times.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:39:41 PM EDT] <derynifank> Sounds cool. Where do you find it?
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:39:46 PM EDT] <Evie> On the forum
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:39:54 PM EDT] <Evie> Look in his section of the fanfic board
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:40:07 PM EDT] <derynifank> Thanks
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:40:51 PM EDT] <Evie> Shakespearean times would be late 16th/early 17th C.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:42:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes that is what I am thinking the refrences of culture are too.
[Sunday, October 7, 2018] [6:43:08 PM EDT] <KK> OK, I'm going to head out as well. Everyone, have a great week, and see you next week at our usual time.

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
