[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:11:52 PM EDT] Join KK has joined this channel.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:11:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Audaline, Audi for short. (The "Au" is pronounced more like "aw" than "ow.")
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:12:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:12:27 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all. Sorry to be so late. My computer was updating, and there's no way to rush that.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:12:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You're only about 10 minutes late. No worries.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:12:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi KK
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:13:10 PM EDT] <KK> How is everyone on this lovely Easter day? Snow expected here overnight.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:13:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We're getting thunderstorms, and I'm half in a food coma from Easter dinner.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:13:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> @Laurna These size 8 embroidery needles should work well--just cut the top off at an angle and use that in your rerooting tool handle. https://www.amazon.com/Colonial-Needle-James-Embroidery-Needles/dp/B0001DS6MU/ref=asc_df_B0001DS6MU/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=196304134456&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2585654908431886203&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012531&hvtargid=pla-314226262920&psc=1
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:13:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi KK
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:13:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Church was good. The minister sang part of the sermon.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:14:36 PM EDT] <KK> That sounds interesting. What did he sing?
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:16:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> a ballad about raisin ga sunken ship.  We should all rise like that.,
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:16:25 PM EDT] <KK> Hmmm.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:17:13 PM EDT] <KK> (Daphne is in that phase of digging through any open topped box and fishing things out to chase. She has also found it very interesting to chase and fetch an empty pill bottle.)
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:17:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I forgot to bring the program home, or I'd tell you the title.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:18:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Full pill bottles rattle, but you need to be sure the cap's on tightly.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:19:14 PM EDT] <KK> It's empty.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:19:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> OOPS! I just knocked over a jar of nuts.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:19:36 PM EDT] <KK> And she grabs it by the little lock tab on top and carries it for me to throw.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:20:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> pill bottles?
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:21:32 PM EDT] <KK> This is one of those that you can turn the cap upside down. It locks in one position, unscrews in the other configuration.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:21:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I went to my parents' house for Easter dinner (ham, green beans, baked potatoes), and I have come home with ham and most of a chocolate bunny (I ate its ears already) because I am 46 years old and my mom still gets me a chocolate Easter bunny.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:21:52 PM EDT] <KK> And it's about 3 inches tall.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:21:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I have a chocolate bunny waiting in the kitchen for me
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:22:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And I got to hang out with my grand-dog because the Pod-Child and her partner are visiting. [link removed for privacy reasons]
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:22:33 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds like a nice gatherine.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:22:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi has decided it is snuggle time
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:22:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mom set the table with the chocolate Easter bunnies where the bread plate would go, if you were serving bread, so everyone had a bunny.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:24:25 PM EDT] * The_Bee scritches Gigi.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:24:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I had my family gathering on Friday, since my parents' birthdays were this past week and that's when I was able to take Mom out for lunch and shopping, then spend time with Dad when we got back. (He preferred staying home rather than do all that walking.)
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:25:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> DS is working today. DD is off, but preparing to move house and has to be fully out by the end of the month, and this was the only day she and her housemates were likely to all be off work at the same time to get started with packing stuff up.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:25:55 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, I told you guys that Booker had gone to a foster about 2 weeks ago. Well, his foster family fell in love with him in t he first week and they've adopted him. And he now has a Clumber spaniel for a doggy brother. Apparently the two have bonded beautifully, and enjoy walks twice a day, which I never did with Booker because he had 2 acres for running arou
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:26:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm glad he's getting along well with them
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:26:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Are both dogs close in age?
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:26:43 PM EDT] <Laurna> Did I say I would love my puppies for life. OOH but they are so trying sometimes. I had been painting with acrilicpaint today. I had a napkin full of green paint that I put in the trash. Said "PUPPY" pulled paint covered napkin out of trash and proptly painted my hard wood floor with it. THank that it was still wet and it cleaned up. AlthoughSunny is covered in green
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:27:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Oh no! 😂
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:27:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> KK I am so glad to hear about Booker and his new family
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:27:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> a green dog! X-P
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:27:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> @Laurna, scroll up for a link I posted on the best size needles to use. Actually, I posted two links, and the first also has some handy rerooting tips on it.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:27:50 PM EDT] <KK> Oliver, the Clumber, is 2; Booker will be 13 in June. But there was a big age difference the other direction when Booker came to us at 3-4 mo.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:28:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> Thank You Evie. I was just looking at those\
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:28:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Big brother and little brother.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:28:46 PM EDT] <KK> Booker can now be Uncle Booker for Oliver, and teach him good dog things.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:29:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> From your breakage rate, I am almost positive you're using needles that are way too thin for Ken heads. Unless you're driving them in with a sledgehammer, they shouldn't be breaking that often.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:29:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> "Uncle Booker"...awww!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:30:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL Evie. I am useing the awl first. and learned to keep the awl in the head until just before inserting the hair and needle so that the opening stays open long enough to get the needle in and not break it.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:30:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Poor Morgan.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:30:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I've never used an awl, but hopefully that will help until you can get better needles
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:31:13 PM EDT] <KK> So, Laurna, you're doing Littles too?
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:31:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am attempting it.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:31:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> I purchased a very good looking new Ken doll but he does not have any side hair so I am attmepting to give him some
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:32:34 PM EDT] <KK> Ah. A challenge, to be sure.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:32:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> He has that biker/vicking hair / almost mohock
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:32:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL! I was about to say "He has great hair...for a Viking...." 😄
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:33:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:33:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Or a Norman
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:34:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Sort of like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Norse/comments/dra7b3/what_are_the_originsimplications_of_this/
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:34:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> But not exactly
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:34:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> Very close
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:35:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> The Ken is more floofy on top. 😄
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:35:29 PM EDT] <bynw> for those that missed my fb post ....

[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:35:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Wow! And here it's t-shirt weather!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:36:03 PM EDT] <Laurna> Amazing Bynw.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:36:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> On the cool side for t-shirts, but it was in the mid-70s or higher on Friday
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:36:20 PM EDT] <KK> That's snow in Des Moines? We're supposed to get some overnight.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:37:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> We got to 75F today
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:37:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I kind of want to make a snowman now. 😄
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:37:02 PM EDT] <KK> Crazy spring!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:37:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> Maybe an Ice Angel
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:37:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi everyone. Sorry to be late. Happy Easter
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:37:40 PM EDT] <KK> I didn't do one when we had lots of snow, and I'm not about to try it now. Didn't even do a snow-angel.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:37:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello DFK
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:37:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> An Alabama snowman, about Ken doll height, and full of dirt and grass from the shallow layer of snow I can scrape off the ground.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:38:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi DFK
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:38:18 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, DFK.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:38:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> There's no point in doing an Alabama snow angel unless it's that rare year we get more than six inches. Otherwise, it's just an Alabama Slush Puddle.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:38:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> It's been very cool and windy here but at least no snow
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:38:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> Evie that sounds more like you using your Hale ice balls to make snow men out of
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:39:13 PM EDT] <bynw> yes. i've got snow
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:39:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Seasons have been coming at the wrong time of year for a while now.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:39:24 PM EDT] <KK> Some parts of the country really got clobbered with big hail. Like, grapefruit-sized!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:39:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> Snow is better than tornadoes
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:39:36 PM EDT] <KK> Definitely better.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:39:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Thank goodness I've never seen softball sized hail except on TV. Getting marble sized hail did enough roof damage! And what I drove through a few weeks ago wasn't big enough to damage my windshield, thankfully!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:39:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Wow. grapefruit! That's big ice balls
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:40:06 PM EDT] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:40:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It was just big enough to make me worried that it would break the glass, not big enough to actually do it.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:40:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Grapefruit sized hail sounds terrifying
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:41:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Might as well be ice cannonballs at that point
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:41:14 PM EDT] <Laurna> No thanks. I love the picture of the person who tied together about 30 pool noodles to make a car cover for the Hail
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:41:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Yup
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:41:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh man, stepped away for 2 minutes and all of the sudden 40 minutes has gone by
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:41:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> Cannonballs falling from the sky would be horrendous
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:42:10 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Nezz
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:42:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:42:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Laurna, hi all
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:42:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:42:59 PM EDT] <KK> I wonder if Cameron and Anna know about the pool noodles. They really need a big garage!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:43:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> pool noodles are likely cheeper than a cushioned car cover
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:44:00 PM EDT] <KK> Undoubtedly!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:44:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> And more colorful
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:44:08 PM EDT] <KK> That, too.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:44:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What does a pool noodle look like?
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:44:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Like a giant foam straw
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:44:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/jKF0biHy/image.png
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:44:49 PM EDT] <KK> About 4 inches across, 4-6 ft long, various colors.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:45:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> How cute!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:45:08 PM EDT] <bynw> it IS a giant foam straw
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:45:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL Bynw
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:45:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Love it. Obviously an out of the box thinker
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:45:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hopefully the hail falls straight down
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:46:08 PM EDT] <KK> That would at least protect the glass. Side panels, not so much.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:46:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> or there is this option
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:46:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/EaxLFjD8/image.png
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:46:26 PM EDT] <bynw> i've seen a similar picture with the pool mattress floating things that you normally lay on and rest while floating about a pool
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:46:31 PM EDT] <bynw> yeah that one
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:46:34 PM EDT] <KK> I;ve copied that pic, and will send it to Cameron and Anna. :-)
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:46:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> Just in case there is a flood and you want your car to floot too
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:47:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Are they used as flotation devices in pools? or as weapons?
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:47:10 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:47:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> With the pool-noodle option, you could probably make a couple more mats of pool noodles for the sides of the car.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:47:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Flotation, but not safety, just for relaxing.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:48:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Usually for floating but I have seen some mighty noodle battles
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:48:42 PM EDT] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:48:50 PM EDT] <bynw> pool noodles are great weapons in pool wars
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:48:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The Pod-Child and her bestie made light sabers out of pool noodles a few years ago.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:49:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> James Spann (who is one of our local meteorologists) calls trampolines "the Alabama state bird" during tornado weather, because they go flying across people's yards.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:49:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Ha a comedian
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:49:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (basically, use silver duct tape and black duct tape to make one end of the pool noodle look like a light saber handle and have fun)
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:50:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> IIRC, they cut the pool noodles in half so they would be about light-saber length.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:50:45 PM EDT] <KK> With duct tape, they greatly resemble SCA boffers.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:50:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> Having the right color light saber/pool noodle is important
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:50:58 PM EDT] <KK> Absolutely!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:51:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think some of the current youth weapons are in fact made of pool noodles.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:51:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Alaric calls dibs on the green pool noodle
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:51:34 PM EDT] <KK> Wouldn't surprise me. I wonder ehat boffers were made of before there were popl noodles.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:51:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Probably some other source of foam padding.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:52:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Duncan and Denis both grab for the purple one, but then Duncan graciously lets the senior bishop have it and gets a McLain blue noodle instead.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:53:05 PM EDT] <bynw> foam weapons have been made for many years before pool noodles were easily available (at your local dollar store for generally a dollar)
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:53:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, Dollar Tree was the source for the Pod-Child's light sabers.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:53:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Kelson opts for Haldane red
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:53:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They were making them for the church youth group, back when Pod-Child and Bestie were youth counselors.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:53:56 PM EDT] <bynw> well red light sabers generally are a sign of being a Sith
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:54:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Kelson turns the music up with a grin as the Imperial March starts up 😉
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:54:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Blue and green are consular and guardian, but I don't remember which is which.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:54:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> Well Gryffendor and Haldane are Red So clearly not always for sith
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:54:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Things on Dollar Tree used to be a dollar but they recently raised prices. They are now the dollar and a quarter tree
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:55:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> Some day soon they will have to change their name to Two dollar tree at the rate prices are rising
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:55:57 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, I found that out a couple of weeks ago.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:56:36 PM EDT] <KK> It's still the cheapest place to buy cotton rounds for cleaning one's face.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:56:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> They can't change it to Below Five, since that will get them in a legal battle with Five Below
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:57:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> Maybe they will have to buy each other out.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:57:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Under-Five?
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:57:34 PM EDT] <bynw> Dollar Tree already own Family Dollar
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:58:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> Did anyone color hard boiled eggs. or at least make Deviled Eggs today
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:58:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> No, though I have some eggs I need to wash and boil
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:58:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> I do miss Grandma's deviled eggs
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:58:32 PM EDT] <KK> Sigh. On that note, I'm going to sign off. Daphne is being a brat, and I need to Daphne-proof my office before next time.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:58:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> But they're brown eggs, so I'm not sure the colors would turn out very clear
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:58:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> No, but I ate foil-wrapped mini chocolate eggs.

[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:58:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Oh dear, what's Daphne doing?

[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:59:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> G'night, KK! See you next week?
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:59:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Night KK. Have a good week
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:59:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Thanks for coming to see us *this* week!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:59:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Goodnight, KK!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:59:48 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, and for those who came late, Booker has been adopted by the family that fostered him, and now has a Clumber spaniel for a doggy brother. Laurna probably knows what those are. Short legs like a Basset. Oliver is white, and of almost identical size. They've apparently bonded wonderfully.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:59:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Nighters, KK!  Very good week to you.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [7:59:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Oh, I sent you the link to the Duncan and Maryse story!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [8:00:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> Clumbers are soo cute
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [8:00:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thanks for coming,KK!
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [8:00:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> So happy to hear about Booker.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [8:00:35 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles. And yes, Evie, I got it, but haven't had time to open it yet. :-)
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [8:00:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> Glad Booker has a brother
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [8:00:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> or a nephew
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [8:00:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I sent you the links to the chapters in the Knighting of Liam too
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [8:01:16 PM EDT] <KK> Oliver is 2, and white with some brown markings. Pretty dog.
[Sunday, April 17, 2022] [8:01:26 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters, all!
