[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:09:07 PM EDT] <anlarye> hi KK (bynw here out on my laptop)
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:09:20 PM EDT] <KK> Puppies?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:09:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> Puppies are do tomarrow. And I think they are waiting for their due date
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:09:29 PM EDT] <Laurna> due
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:09:43 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Sometimes they go past, too.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:09:44 PM EDT] <KK> What kind of puppies?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:09:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> 6-7 King Charles spaniel puppies
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:09:58 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, that's right. Sweet.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:09:58 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, DFK

[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:11:11 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Here's to healthy pups and mama!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:11:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> So far there is no indaction that it will happen today
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:11:32 PM EDT] <KK> So sweet.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:12:03 PM EDT] <Laurna> I put my hand on her fat tommy and I can feel them really kicking
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:12:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> And hoping for healthy puppies and at least one show puppy
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:12:11 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> If I give my email, will you send me pictures?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:12:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> Suer
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:12:21 PM EDT] <Laurna> sure
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:12:31 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> [personal email address redacted for privacy--DR]
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:13:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Can you post puppy pics on the forum? Would love to see them
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:13:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> I will be happy to send pictures once I get them.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:15:33 PM EDT] <KK> We'll look forward to it/them.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:15:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> So the bet between my sister and I is how many girls and boys and how many blenhiems vs tris. Sister says 5boys 2 girls and 5 tris and 2 blenhiems. I am saying 4 girls 3 boys, and 4 tries and 3 blenhimes.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:16:03 PM EDT] <KK> What is a blenhiem?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:16:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> We are likely both wrong.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:16:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> BYE
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:16:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello all
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:16:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:16:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> supplies the chat table with Pie for Pi Day
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:16:33 PM EDT] <anlarye> hi Shiral
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:16:33 PM EDT] Join The_Bee (The_Bee@owirc-gd7.arb.61.73.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:16:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Bee
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:16:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> Blenheims are the red and white, named after the provence of blenheim. I am likely spelling it wrong
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:17:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Bee
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:17:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi everyone!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:17:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Bee, Hi DFK, DR, Festil KK and Houndmistress
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:17:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> red and white what?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:17:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hi Bee, Hi Shiral
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:17:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And Bynw
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:17:39 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> There is some movie on with a heck of a sea battle in it.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:17:46 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> wooden ships and all.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:18:35 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Lou said it was Star something or other.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:18:37 PM EDT] <KK> Cavalier King Charles puppies, Bee.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:18:57 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Sweet little apple heads!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:19:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Charlies are sweet-natured dogs.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:19:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dang....I'd be in danger in a room full of puppies. I'd want them all
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:19:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Me, too
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:19:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> Blenheim is the correct spelling
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:19:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Love puppies
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:19:47 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is someone going to adopt one?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:19:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Laurna, I think I missed saying hi to you
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:20:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Tati just arrived. She is not best pleased that I'm talking about puppies
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:20:13 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Not me with Big Foot, aka Quanah here.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:20:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> Did you put out the tea table. I am in need of hot tea
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:20:29 PM EDT] <KK> Like the place.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:20:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> snaps fingers and places a tea table under her pies
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:20:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> What place?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:20:55 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Are they Blenheim and King Charles?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:21:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Wasn't there a famous battle in Blenheim?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:21:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> Cavielier King Charles Spaniels are the breed with long noses, that are designed to look like the old comfort spaniels seen in the old paintings.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:22:06 PM EDT] <KK> Duke of Marlborough's estate, isn't it?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:22:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The teapot will pour any kind of tea you want
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:22:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes that is him, I was trying to remember with Duke it was,.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:23:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Never get your dukes confused
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:23:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> It was named for the Battle Of Blenhiem in 1704
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:23:41 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Especially not the dukes of Corwyn.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:23:43 PM EDT] <Laurna> His wife had a girlwho was pregant, it is said that she worried so much that she rubbed the top of her dogs head and that when all the puppies were born they had that thumbprint on their heads. That is why the red and white ones are called Blenhiem's
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:24:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Churchill Family seat
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:24:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> The red dot on the head is very sought after.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:25:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Johm Churchill qwas the first Duke of Marlborough
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:25:56 PM EDT] <KK> But Churchill's estate was Chartwell.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:26:12 PM EDT] <KK> Different branches of the family.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:26:38 PM EDT] <KK> Sir Winston Churchill, that is.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:28:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK, Bee, Shiral, and Derynifank.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:28:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sorry, I was afk dealing with laundry.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:28:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hi Everyone! Our cavalier had the Blenheim spo[
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:28:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi DR.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:28:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:28:52 PM EDT] <The_Bee> hi DR
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:28:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:29:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> This is the painting of the duke and his family and dog http://dekluizenaar.mimesis.nl/wp-images/ssargent_vanderbilt1.jpg
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:29:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:29:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> and Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:29:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:29:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:29:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Still waiting for puppies, Laurna?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:29:23 PM EDT] <anlarye> hi jerusha
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:29:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yep, Likely will be tomarrow
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:29:51 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Nice, Laurna
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:29:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Hope all goes well. It should
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:30:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hope so too
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:30:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hope the mother dog and all puppies fare well
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:30:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Is Jessa the mother?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:30:29 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:30:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh wow
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:30:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is this her first litter?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:31:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> This was her last chance to have another litter. So we went for it. She is doing really well. her second litter
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:31:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> And may they all have long, happy lives in good, loving homes.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:31:21 PM EDT] <Laurna> Agreed
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:31:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Absolutely!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:31:47 PM EDT] <KK> I think Cavalier King Charles spaniels are the ones that often have china figurines made, and traditionally show up on harths or mantels.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:32:07 PM EDT] <KK> hearths
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:32:18 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They are adorable dogs
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:32:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> VERY good for cuddling
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:33:21 PM EDT] <KK> Aren't they kind of yappy, though?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:33:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Not really.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:33:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> They bark at every one who walks down the street
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:33:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> The smaller toy dogs may be, but Cavaliers not so much
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:34:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> Other than that they are quiet
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:34:34 PM EDT] <KK> Cute, though.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:34:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Our Shelties used to bark at everything, including when the oven timer went off
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:35:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol I don't blame them for that
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:35:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Very cute
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:35:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We had a sheltie who would lose his mind when the milkman arrived
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:35:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> The oven timer, the doorbell on the TV....
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:36:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> Mine go crazy when I let the horses out and then back in. they run up and down the adjacent fence line barking at the horses, the second the horses pass they stop barking
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:36:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Heralding their arrival?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:36:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> When I first brought Melantha home, she'd try to hide at any sudden noise.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:37:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> Poor kitty, I don't blame her
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:38:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> She's become very talkative lately--especially when I'm trying to sleep.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:38:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> KK how does house purchasing going? Are you starting to think about new paint and carpet?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:38:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> When I got married, our matron Sheltie hid in the closet as much as possible, under a black watch kilt I had. Have you any idea how much dog hair a kilt can gather?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:38:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sweet Melantha wants to talk to you
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:38:49 PM EDT] <KK> I think Booker would bark at horses, though he's never had the opportunity. Old Oswald was raised around horses, and was cool with them.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:39:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL, Jerusha. I'm guessing a lot
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:39:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Amazing!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:39:46 PM EDT] <Laurna> And sheltie hair is not exactly the same color as black watch
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:39:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri likes to lie on my pillow, give me a scalp massage and tell me all about his day
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:40:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Think of it as a black watch beige
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:40:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:40:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Sheltie-watch tartan kilt
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:40:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Melantha licks my face until I get up and give her breakfast.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:40:47 PM EDT] <KK> Starting to think, though when I went to look for the paint can of the bluish grey that's in a lot of rooms here, I wouldn't find it. So I'll have to go get paint chips and dbring them home to compare. Supposed to do a walk-through tomorrow with my estate agent, so she can get the paperwork going. At least interest rates are waaaaay down.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:40:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> She has trained you
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:40:50 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Quanah rumblles out a bass growl whenever anyone comes to the door. He stands behind me doing that. Scary!!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:41:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Not in front of you?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:41:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Let us be grateful for what good we can find
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:41:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oh yah, interest rates will be great for a new purchase.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:41:49 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> No, he says I am the boss, but he;s backing me up
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:41:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Quanah would be handy to have if an actual intruder ever showed up.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:41:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Good boy!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:42:17 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Really good interest rates. Is your other house sold?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:42:38 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, yes, Bee. He's 118 lbs
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:42:40 PM EDT] <KK> Alas, no. Not even on the market yet. But cottage is officially on the rental markeat. Hurrah!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:42:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> Big boy
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:43:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good job KK
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:43:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What breed is he?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:43:06 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That's good, to get a renter in. Helps the sale.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:43:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> He's a Rhodesian Ridgeback, Bee.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:43:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'll bet Quanah sounds pretty scary when he growls at that size. Kind of like having a growling pony
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:43:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ah, ok
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:43:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> The have the sweetest faces
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:43:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> The economic situation is really scary right now
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:43:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> They, that is
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:43:54 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> LOL! Sort of, Shiral.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:44:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Timing is...not so fortuitous
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:44:38 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> He has a very sweet face usually but not when he's doing that bass growl.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:44:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Yep
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:44:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> any pics?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:44:59 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, it's a bit scary, taking on a mortgage when I haven't sold the big house yet. Getting the cottage rented should cover it, though, as long as nothing needs serious repair at any of the properties.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:45:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> I would be fearfull of that. But I like RR
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:45:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Not familiar with that breed but he does sound like the size of a small pony
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:45:20 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> May it have very good bones, KK
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:45:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Owning a younger house may help avoid needing serious repairs
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:45:52 PM EDT] <KK> It should be a little bijoux of a house when I finish with it.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:45:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Once your house sells you can clear the mortgage?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:45:54 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They came from Rhodesia and S. Aftica originally, DFK
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:46:02 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, Jerusha.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:46:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> That's good
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:46:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That will be a relief!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:46:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hope all goes wellwith the sales and purchase
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:46:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> What is a bijoux?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:47:08 PM EDT] <KK> A jewel?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:47:14 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, OK!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:47:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Indeed. Hoping things will stabilize soon. Keep washing your hands, everyone
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:48:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> Definitly
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:48:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Amazed at the empty shelves at the grocery store yesterday
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:48:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Some churches are streaming services on Facebook.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:48:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> May a family come along for whom Edgehill will be the perfect new home.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:48:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> I will try shopping in a few more days
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:48:53 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, yes. Needless to say, that event in LA that I was talking about cancelling last week has been well and truly postponed/cancelled for now. Whew!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:49:01 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Someone right will come along.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:49:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is Edgehill really on the edge of a hill?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:49:15 PM EDT] <KK> May it be quicly.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:49:29 PM EDT] <KK> It's on a rise at that part of town.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:49:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I endured a Shopo-calypse on Friday at Costco. I persevered and got home with all the things I needed, but sheesh. It was like shopping on Christmas Eve with thousands of other procrastinators
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:49:32 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> SXSW was cancelled in Austin
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:50:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Toilet paper I expected to be gone, but all the flour and sugar?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:50:20 PM EDT] <KK> I need to get a few things tomorrow, but I'm pretty well stocked.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:50:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> My sister tried it before opening hours on Saterday. The costco line was already aournd the building. Needless to say she didn't go
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:50:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The whole SF Bay Area/Silicon Valley is shutting down in terms of public events.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:50:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I need to get some groceries. I should have gone yesterday.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:50:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Don't understand the obcession with toilet paper
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:50:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> AND I even have TP, because I went early last week.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:50:59 PM EDT] <KK> Nope.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:51:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But I only got what I believed I'd NEED. My garage is not insulated with TP
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:51:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> There was a story about some guy stealing toilet paper at knifepoint.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:51:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh dear!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:51:46 PM EDT] <Laurna> I guess if you expect to have the kids home for weeks you expect to use more. Other than that, it makes little since
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:52:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> FOrtunately since I live alone, I don't use it that fast
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:52:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> me neither
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:52:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> same here. Melantha doesn't use toilet paper.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:52:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> If I were expecting to be with kids 24/7, I'd be raiding the liquor store.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:52:41 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:52:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Yes!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:53:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But the cats and I are well supplied, now.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:53:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> We are in good shape, and being on a northern lake means we are a bit isolated
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:53:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Though we go into town as needed
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:54:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> anlarye--you've been very quiet. How re things Down Under?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:54:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> All my life I've been an unsociable homebody. Waited long enough and suddenly it turned into a survival tactic!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:54:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Beer, whiskey, vegetables
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:54:17 PM EDT] <KK> I hadn't though aboiut needing more TP when the kids are home 24/7, but you're right.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:54:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> I work at a hospital so it is a given. Just staying way from the parents
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:55:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> A lady at work said, what are they going to do with all that TP and bottled water, make paste and eat it?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:55:21 PM EDT] <Laurna> yikes
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:55:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh I hope not
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:55:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> papier machet
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:56:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My mother's retirement home is being very strict. They currently have no cases and are working to keep it that way. But my mother is already grumbling. Normally, she might be attending a play in Berkeley on Sunday, going to writer's meeting on Monday, Her poetry class in Santa Cruz on Wednesday, the SF Symphony on Thursday, and a movie on Friday.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:56:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> That's a busy schedule
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:56:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That's my mom, for you
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:57:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> It's good to be active, but a pain right now
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:57:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> I Hope she finds good distractions at home
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:57:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> She's just not good at sitting still for long. I hope so too. Fortunately she does like to read and watch TVV
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:57:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> TV
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:57:54 PM EDT] <KK> Very quiet here. No MET broadcast yesterday.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:58:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oh which one would it have been this week.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:58:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm hoping to have some kind of birthday celebration on Saturday.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:58:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yesterday, the County closed down our libraries until April 12. schools sporting and cultural events all closed or canceled, too
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:58:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Happy birthday in advance, Bee
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:58:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> She can do lots of virtual tours of museums and other sites. If she doesn't hate computers
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:59:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, she could, but she finds computers and doing things online frustrating
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:59:05 PM EDT] <Laurna> I wanted to see the flying dutchman
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:59:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thank you, Jerusha. Every birthday is my 21st.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:59:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Oh dear, I read that as flying monkeys
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:59:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I fear our Hamilton outing is doomed. Our theater party would be 4 people over 50 in a large theater. None of which is a good idea right now
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:59:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> Love it Bee, happy 21st birthday next week
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:59:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Happy birthday early Bee
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [7:59:58 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I love online browsing. You can find out nearly anything you want to know. But I was the kid who thought dictionaries were fun.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:00:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Happy Birthday, Bee!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:00:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL, Jerusha! I'd love to see Wagner write an opera about Flying Monkeys!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:00:15 PM EDT] <KK> I suspect that Hamilton is closed down just like Broadway.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:00:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Happy Birthday, Bee
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:00:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Happy birthday, Bee!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:00:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yeah. It's a total first world problem but ** the Coronavirus!!! I was THIS CLOSE to seeing Hamilton!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:00:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thank you everyone <3 8)
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:01:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> At least we understand what is going on, unlike the Dark Ages
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:01:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I completely understand and agree with the necessity of all this, but it sure is lousy timing
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:01:57 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> BRB, gotta run feed the doggies.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:02:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Bye, Hound Mistress.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:02:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> Feed the big doggies. they must eat alot
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:02:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Feed de puppy dawgs. ;)
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:02:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Do not get between them and the food bowl
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:02:36 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The Secret Service seized a shipment of fake Covid-19 test kits.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:03:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> It is all crazy
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:03:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> It really is INSANE
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:04:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Beware of scammers, online or on the phone.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:04:18 PM EDT] <KK> Who would make fake covid-19 kits?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:04:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> And yeah glad we are not in the medieval times. Like the year 948 hint**** hint****
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:04:35 PM EDT] <KK> lol
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:04:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Well done!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:04:47 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I don't know. Some out to make money.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:04:57 PM EDT] <KK> Hope they get it.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:05:13 PM EDT] <KK> Not the money.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:05:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Amazon and Kijiji have taken down the sites of those selling TP and sanitizer for a profit
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:06:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:06:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> There will always be the lowlifes who take advantage of everyone's fear.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:06:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Yes
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:07:11 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Mission accomplished; doggies fed.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:07:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> I hope they confiscate those people and give it away to elder care homes. Dad's home is on lock down too.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:07:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> You're better off with soap and water for clean hands.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:07:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> As long as they only ate the food and not your fingers.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:07:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But my little paws are getting very dry.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:08:01 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> My fingers are very good at getting out of the way.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:08:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:08:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Good. YOu still want to have 10 at the end of the day
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:08:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Practice, I figure. :)
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:08:37 PM EDT] <KK> And just try not to touch your face.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:08:44 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> You really have to be fast if you are handing Quanah anything to eat.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:08:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> impossible you know
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:09:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Maybe we should all buy those veterinary cones.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:09:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or buy veils
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:09:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> But I like to sleep with my hands touching my face! X)
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:09:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> does not want to wear a cone
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:10:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> I have given up wearing contacts lens for the time. and stick with my glasses. less chance of rubbing my eyes
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:10:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Just disinfect before you go to bed.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:10:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> LOL thanks
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:10:17 PM EDT] * Laurna agrees with Jerusha
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:10:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Me neither Jerusha.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:10:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> If you are at home and not out and about, touch your face is not a major problem
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:10:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But have to keep telling myself "don't do this!"
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:11:20 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Forces of habit are strong, Grasshopper.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:11:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm almost a hermit unless I have a reason to go out.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:11:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Especially when we've never had to think about it before now
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:11:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> But I was out at Tim Horton's having a donut, and was about to lick the extra sugar off my finger and went 'Nope! don't do that!"
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:12:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It was always the main way colds and flu were transmitted.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:13:03 PM EDT] <KK> Anyone know what time tonight's debate is on?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:13:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh. I forgot about it
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:13:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 8 or 9 easstern?
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:13:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm recordingit.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:14:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> OMG, I can't take any more debates.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:14:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> With no live audience, they'll actually have to talk to each other.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:15:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> and listen.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:15:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Now that's a concept!
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:15:08 PM EDT] <KK> Looks like it's started. On that note, I shall betake myself to the TV room and watch.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:15:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha> Nighters, KK
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:15:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good night Kk
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:15:38 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:15:44 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Good night, KK
[Sunday, March 15, 2020] [8:15:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Bye KK

"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.)
