[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:03:23 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hello to everyone!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:03:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:03:27 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:03:32 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, KK
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:03:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello KK
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:03:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hiya KK
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:03:50 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:03:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> HiKK
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:04:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I can not believe it is already half way through January. I sitll have chirstmas decor up
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:04:58 PM EST] <KK> What's everybody been up to?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:05:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hibernating
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:05:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> How was your week, KK?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:05:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I just unplugged the extension cord to the lights on our outdoor Charlie Brown tree.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:05:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Good, I am not the only one
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:05:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Writing, doctors, fixing up the slum that I've started renting out.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:05:44 PM EST] <KK> I got the last of my decorations down, and also made a significant dent in the cluttwr in my living room. Yay!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:05:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Not much here, KK. Just getting settled into the new term at work, now that students are back on campus.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:05:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> The tree is down and the outside lights away. but all the wreaths and santas and deer are still on the walls and tables
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:06:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Good for you KK
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:06:12 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> HI everyone
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:06:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> DS is scheduled to move tomorrow, so I might see if he needs help since I have the day off.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:06:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> I leave the lights strung on by balcony; I just stop luging them in.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:06:27 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> The only reason my decorations are put away is that all I do is a wreath on the door.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:07:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> too muddy to take the wagon to the back yard shed and I don't want the boxes hang out for days on the floor, so thought I should just leave the decor up.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:07:48 PM EST] <KK> I had 2 wreaths and a small (3 ft.) fiber-optic tree. That's all, easy to dismantle. Oh, and another snall (2 ft. tree.)
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:07:50 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, DFK
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:07:55 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> The important festivities happen at my parents' house and the one time I tried with indoor decorations, my pretty Santa-sleigh candle holder became a very large puck for cat hockey.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:08:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi DFK
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:08:20 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Writing a post GotP story for Fiona with Laurna and anyone who wants to join in.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:08:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi DFK
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:08:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> DFK, I sent you a link to what I wrote on the fourm message system.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:09:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I also sent one to Revanne. since Columcil was in that scene
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:09:23 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Will check it out after chat. Just got home in time for chat
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:09:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> thaniks
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:09:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> Just how does one join?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:10:16 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I suspect Revanne is occupied with a young man named George. The pictures are adorable
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:10:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Bee, do you want to be one of the young ladies at the schola?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:10:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> LOVE GEORGE
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:10:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I suspect he is going to be a read head
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:11:07 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> George is Adorable
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:11:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Likely, she's been looking forward to being a nan for a while m
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:11:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Red haired color
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:11:24 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> *now
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:11:33 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Dratted phone
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:11:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> KK, have you seen the pictures of Anne's grandson?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:12:01 PM EST] <KK> I think she was really looking forward to his arrival. Yes, I have. Adorable!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:12:11 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is the Schola anything to do with Rothana'swork?ent kind of RPG
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:12:33 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> She will make a wonderful Nan. My youngest grandson loved going on walks and hikes an finding "treasures" We had some good times.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:12:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It's the same Schola, just decades later
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:12:48 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> He's a cutie for sure.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:13:02 PM EST] <Laurna> [link redacted for privacy]
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:13:16 PM EST] <Laurna> hope she doesn't mind me pasting this over here
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:13:25 PM EST] <HoundMistress> That is one cute baby!!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:13:30 PM EST] <KK> Aw, hadn't seen that one.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:13:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> a real cudddle-bug!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:13:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> So cute!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:13:54 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> She shared it to Discord. I'll just snip the link when I post the chat log.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:13:55 PM EST] <Laurna> Such a big little guy
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:14:16 PM EST] <Laurna> Thanks DR
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:14:18 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I l ove the one where he is so awake and looking around like "what have I gotten myself into?"
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:14:30 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Lol, I know, right?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:14:42 PM EST] <Eris> <bynw> ␝just finished a tasty supper and watching the last quarter of the vikings vs giants game␝
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:16:18 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I love it when little babies look like that. I have a few pics of the Pod-Child wherein she looks so deeply unimpressed with the world and one when she was about two weeks old, sleeping, making an obscene gesture.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:16:36 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> The Bills and the Dolphins were a lot closer than I hought hey would be
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:17:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Dad had me watching Football, And my BIL watches all the games. but I just have not gotten into it.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:18:21 PM EST] <Eris> <bynw> i like college football more than professional. but i'm a lifelong vikings fan
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:18:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I still cheer for Green bay, because of dad.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:05 PM EST] <KK> Not a fan of spectator sports.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> I want o know want to watch it happen.ho won, but I don't w
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:17 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I'm not a big football fan. Watch it once in awhile.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> ant o watch it happen
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I saw the Rose bowl Highlights (15 minute recap) and enjoyed that. College game looked way less dangerous than professional.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello everyone
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:34 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi shiral
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:35 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:36 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, Shiral
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> everyone once in awhile someone can talk me into being interested in a game, but generally, I can't be bothered.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:40 PM EST] <Eris> <bynw> hi shiral
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello all, I'm a Deryni Addict...
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:19:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello Shiral. Are you floating away yet. we nearly are
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:20:05 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:20:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> No, but my garden sure is soggy
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:20:26 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> You need weather working. Park those clouds over the reservoirs
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:20:48 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Park some of them over Central Texas please
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:20:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> The horse are walking in 8inch deep mud. fortunatley their stalls are still dry.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:20:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝stocks the chatroom table with hot tea and cookies␝
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:21:05 PM EST] <The_Bee> Too much water is flowing out to sea.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:21:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hot Tea is perfect
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:21:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Oooh, hot tea. Wonderful for this chilly weather
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:21:40 PM EST] <KK> Poor horses.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:21:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Great idea, DFK. Alas, the clouds haven't budged no matter how hard I try!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:21:46 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Oh, re food, I ordered some Christmas Jam (mixed berries and jalapeno) and it's delicious!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:21:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> We are now on the 30th hour of straight rain.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:21:58 PM EST] * The_Bee adds mulled cider, brandy on the side.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:04 PM EST] <Eris> <bynw> my babe likes tea
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> have not had this kind of rain in years
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:11 PM EST] <KK> 30 hrs.?!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:18 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Wow! 30 hours is a lot
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:25 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Rachel's Texas Kitchen online if you want to check it out. The beets are also delicious
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Mulled cider sounds like a plan on this cold night. Or mulled wine, maybe.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> A muddy dog is one thing. A muddy horse is on a whole different orde
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:33 PM EST] <KK> Where is all the water going?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> yep just light sprinkles right now. but by 6pm it is suppose to pour again
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:55 PM EST] <HoundMistress> 30 hours??? OMG! You really are floating away!!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> downhill
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:22:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's more sporadic here, but I'm really tired of the words "atmospheric river."
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:23:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I've discovered that a mix of my favorite red wine with a little apple juice and mulling spices, heated in a mug, is amazing.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:23:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Into a pretty lake in my back back yard
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:23:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> And I've been getting Laurna's rain about 24-48 hours after it hits her
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:23:17 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hopefully into the reservoirs and the aquafir, Not back out to sea
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:23:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Nice Evie. can you portal me a mug
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:23:31 PM EST] <KK> Muddy horses don't require record-breaking rain. A mere puddle will suffice to make them a mess. It all comes with horse ownership.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:23:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Once I find a portal, yeah
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:23:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> At least SOME of it must be going into the reservoirs and aquifers
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:23:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> Too much is going to feed the Pacific Ocean, I hear.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:24:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> 30 hours of rain sounds unpleasant.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:24:19 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> The Pacific doesn't need it
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:24:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> it was about 20 years ago that the rain was so bad the horses were walking knee deep in water. Never seen that agian. and don't want to
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:24:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL no DFK, the Pacific doesn't need it but we do
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:24:47 PM EST] <HoundMistress> A hundred year rain?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:24:48 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yes, it's quite large enough (the Pacific Ocean).
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:25:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:25:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I kind of feel like that apocryphal Titanic passenger who was rumored to say "I rang for ice, but this is ridiculous!"
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:25:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:25:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:25:32 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Is anyone making "build an ark" jokes?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:25:32 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Lol
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:25:42 PM EST] <HoundMistress> LOL!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:25:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes we KNOW we asked for rain, but a season's worth in two weeks is a bit much!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:26:11 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Send it here!!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:26:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Have to go check on DH, BRB
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:26:47 PM EST] <KK> No Ark jokes that I've heard.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:27:38 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I think it was Tropical Storm Faye that managed to hit every bit of Florida and rained on us in the northeast corner for a week plus without stopping. We were cracking jokes about "where do you find gopher wood anyway" and "who forgot to pay the sun bill" for a while there.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:27:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Tuesday should be sunny so we will dry out fast
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:28:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's supposed to dry out a bit after Monday. So we'll get a little break for a bit. But I ordered new rain boots. It's been so dry in past years, that I haven't even thought about whether or not I need rain boots
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:28:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> My back yard at the time was trying to become a swamp.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:28:11 PM EST] <The_Bee> TV showed a man water-skiing down a street.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:28:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I like the who forgot to pay the sun bill
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:28:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I found out this week that heated jackets and vests are a thing, so now I need to do my research online to see where I can buy one and how much they go for.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:29:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> That sounds comfy Evie
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:29:48 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> We keep swinging between 20s and 60's. Very confusing.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:30:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> They apparently come with a removable battery pack so you can recharge the pack and wash the jacket. And there are three heat settings.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:30:21 PM EST] <HoundMistress> We had 30s at night and 60s during the day here. It was 75 out today.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:30:42 PM EST] <HoundMistress> That does sound cozy, Evie!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:30:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> So you can turn off the heat if you just want to wear it as a regular jacket, but on extra cold days you can turn the heat on. And they are waterproof or water resistant, so they are safe to wear on rainy days.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:30:58 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I'd like it if they had controls for this torso and arms separate because my arms can be chilly but my trunk comfy.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:31:02 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I would have loved a heated jacket when we got down to 5 degrees F
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:31:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> And here I am hybernating in the 40F. I would become a bear in a cave any colder than this
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:31:30 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I need one for work. It's always cold in the call room.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:31:36 PM EST] <Eris> <bynw> 45 here today. warm for this time of year
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:31:48 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Where did you see those Evie? I think I need pne
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:32:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> There are different types, apparently, but most have a back panel and front bits that are heated, and some include heated shoulders and/or sleeves too. And there are vests that are sleeveless, but if you get a fairly thin one it could be worn under a regular jacket.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:32:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I work with someone who was wearing one last week, and she said she got hers on Amazon.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:32:54 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Of course, Amazon has everything
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:33:01 PM EST] <Eris> <bynw> i would say Amazon would be the place to get anything
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:33:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> So I did an online search and found one of those articles that gives Top 10 brand recommendations, and was going to start looking them up to do a price and feature comparison and some ratings, but I didn't have time to do that at work.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:33:38 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Good starting point anyway
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:34:31 PM EST] <KK> I ordered an electric foot warmer from Amazon, for my bed, but it's defective. Now I need to figure out how to return it for one that works.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:34:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Watching a program that is showing Elizabeth Woodville's family tree, and it just struck me how royal Anne's grandson's name is. 😄
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:34:54 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Totally off the wall, Did anyone watch the new series Will Trent?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:35:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Heated jacket? It was -27C here earlier this week.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:35:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I haven't heard of it, @HoundMistress
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:35:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My foot warmer purrs
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:35:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi everyone!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:35:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha

[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:35:36 PM EST] <HoundMistress> On ABC on Tuesday nights
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:35:46 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:35:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi erusha
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:35:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> J
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:36:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> @Jerusha2 From what I managed to read about the jackets, a lot of them are made for ski or snow jackets, so they might be right up your alley.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:36:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> erusha J is OK!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:36:25 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> @KK go to Amazon, click on the order and hit Return. It will give you a code. You can go to UPS or Kohl's and show them the code and they will send it back
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:36:27 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've recorded Trent, not watched yet.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:36:31 PM EST] <Eris> <bynw> KK. you should just go into your amazon order history and start the return process
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:36:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I prefer to stay inside where it is sort of warm
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:36:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Elcomeway, ErushaJ!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:36:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> maybe the J is silent
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:37:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I am never silent!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:37:08 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> For those on IRC, in response to Jerusha's weather, I posted a gif of a baby toddling into a room and then turning right back around, with the caption, "Nope!!"
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:37:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:37:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> @KK if you are doing an Amazon return, make sure you do so within their window that they'll accept a return
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:37:24 PM EST] <HoundMistress> LOL, Evie
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:37:30 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:37:46 PM EST] <KK> Thanks, I'll try that, DFK.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:37:55 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Iyay eakspay igpay atillay
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:38:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> DS1's dog did that. Went to the door, felt the wind, and then piddled on the floor. (Big dog, not a small piddle.)
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:38:14 PM EST] <HoundMistress> atinlay
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:38:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I prefer to stay inside too, Jerusha, but I have yet to figure out how to get from my house to my car or from my car in remote parking to my office without venturing outside.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:38:30 PM EST] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yuck
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:38:33 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> He didn't want to freeze his butt
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:38:35 PM EST] <Eris> <bynw> oodgay osay ouyday ilay
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:38:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Is that Code HoundMistress?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:38:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Pig Latin
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:39:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> DS1 was less than amused. GS2 laughed.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:39:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> 🐖
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:39:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Pig needs a plumed helmet
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:39:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> A hot tea cup between the fingers feels soooo good
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:40:00 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I learned because my parents used to use it to talk over us. Then they switched to Arp and I never could get that one.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:40:04 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yup
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:40:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Happiness is a mug of hot tea on a winter day
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:40:22 PM EST] <KK> Arp?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:40:28 PM EST] <HoundMistress> You are so right, Shiral!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:40:46 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I'm with you Shiral.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:41:03 PM EST] <HoundMistress> All I know is it works something like Pig Latin but I just never could figure it out. Might as well have been speaking Klingon.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:41:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Now I'm wishing I had one, but the kitchen is all the way downstairs...
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:41:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> We used to have a dog named Pixi who was very sweet, but dumber than dog food. Despite that, DS would argue up and down that the dog was smarter than the rest of us thought he was. One day, we were outside and DS was sticking up for the dog's intelligence, when suddenly Pixi walked right up to him, hiked his leg, and peed on DS's ankle. My son just shook his head and said, "OK, so maybe he IS a little bit dumb!" 😂
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:41:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm n ot good with Pig Latin, but I'm great with Ubby Dubby
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:42:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL Evie. He is just saying, You belong to me
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:42:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not an ingratiating habit
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:42:28 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Never heard of Ubby Dubby
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:42:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> There are other ways to do that, I'm sure! 😄
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:42:46 PM EST] <KK> Ubby dubby?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:42:49 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Tell him he needs to mark somewhere else, like a tree
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:43:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> We took Rexar to his first big AKC dog show. and he did the samething to my sister who was trying to show him off in front of all these other dogs. NOPE
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:43:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I laughed so hard. The look on DS's face was priceless!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:43:12 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Did I ever tell y'all that IBLK knows what "behind you" means?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:43:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> "I am NOT a show dog, thank you!"
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:43:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oops, Laurna!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:43:52 PM EST] <HoundMistress> When I throw treats, and there's one or more she is missing behind her, I say that & she actually looks behind her & finds them.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:44:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Yea didn't quite make the imprssion we were hoeping for
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:44:58 PM EST] <KK> What is Ubby Dubby?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:45:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Good thing it was not the obedience ring
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:45:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> agreed Jerusha
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:45:28 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yeah, what is Ubby Dubby?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:45:46 PM EST] <HoundMistress> How does it work?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:46:25 PM EST] <HoundMistress> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubbi_dubbi
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:46:29 PM EST] <KK> Inquiring minds want to know.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:46:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Ubby Dubby is a made-up language where you ad an extra syllable of "ub" or "uby" into all your words. So: Ibe sbepeak ubbiy dubbiby quibite flubuebently
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:46:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> (I speak ubby dubby quite fluently)
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:47:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Yeah, I leanred it from Zoom
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:47:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I have enough trouble with Engish
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:47:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I had no idea it was 17th Century.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:48:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Decades ago, my riding teacher told us the story of a jumping class she took. When the contestants lined up for the judging, her gelding REALLY had to go, and he produced his own little lake...
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:48:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hopefully she was not the lady in the lake
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:48:53 PM EST] <HoundMistress> LOL Jerusha!!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:49:00 PM EST] <KK> Yep, they'll do that, often at the most inconvenient times.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:49:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> No. But if it's embarrassing when your dog pees at the dog show, just imagine how much fun it is when your horse does it!
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:49:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You can have TOO much fun
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:49:40 PM EST] <Eris> <bynw> and the vikings lost by a touchdown ☹️
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:49:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> Some cab-horses have diapers for that reason.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:49:53 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> So Close
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:50:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yet so far
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:50:14 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> True
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:50:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Wow....not a job I'd want. Changing horse nappies, that is.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:50:38 PM EST] <HoundMistress> And their hopes for a Super Bowl evaporated into the night.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:50:41 PM EST] <KK> Diapers for the poop. I doubt it wound do much for the pee.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:50:57 PM EST] <KK> would
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:51:21 PM EST] <bynw> ok. now i'm on my computer instead of my phone
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:51:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> They are called Tail bags.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:52:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Are they in the semi finals or the finals yet.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:52:34 PM EST] <bynw> this is the wild card weekend
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:52:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Ah
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:52:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> The tail bags or the Giants?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:52:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:52:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> The Giants
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:53:08 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> This was the wild card, winners are actually in the playoffs
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:53:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Alas, Green Bay is not
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:53:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> heard about that
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:53:53 PM EST] <HoundMistress> And as usual, the Cowboys are left out again.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:54:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> And my BIL's SeaHawks did not do so good either
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:54:15 PM EST] <bynw> the cowboys play the bucc tomorrow
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:54:31 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Oh, I thought they were out after the last game?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:54:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I will not be sorry if Brady loses
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:55:00 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Tired of Tom?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:55:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:55:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Agreed, he should have stayed retired
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:55:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> How many super bowl rings do you really need?
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:56:05 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I have to go. I'm soooo hungry and have to put dinner on.
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:56:06 PM EST] <bynw> for the wild card wins: I wanted Jacksonville, Cincinati (they are playing in about 20 minutes), Miami, Dallas, Minnesota, and Seattle
[Sunday, January 15, 2023] [7:56:12 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Apparently one for every finger

"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.)
