[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:04:38 PM] <jemler> hi shiral
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:04:40 PM] <Shiral> Hello everyone
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:04:41 PM] <jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:04:41 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:04:43 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:04:45 PM] <the_Bee> Evie, sounds like you've had a flood. How serious is the damage?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:04:47 PM] <Shiral> Hi KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:04:50 PM] <Evie> Hi, KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:04:50 PM] <the_Bee> HI KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:05:09 PM] <bynw> Hiyas sis
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:05:11 PM] <Evie> Very minor, Bee
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:05:12 PM] <bynw> hiyas KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:05:13 PM] <jemler> hope your mini deryni can swim!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:05:17 PM] <KK> Hello, all. Evie, what's this about a flood?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:05:23 PM] <Evie> Just came in on one end of MIL's basement.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:05:33 PM] <Sarah> hi Shiral and KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:05:44 PM] <Evie> Just a little puddling on the concrete. We moved stuff further from the garage doors and used a wetvac to clean up
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:06:05 PM] <KK> Ah, from all that rain?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:06:07 PM] <Evie> and then MIL's neighbor put up some sort of dam to block water from coming in any further
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:06:14 PM] <Evie> Yes. We got a torrent two nights ago
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:06:20 PM] <Evie> about 6 inches overnight
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:06:37 PM] <Evie> All it did at my house was wake us with a sound and light show
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:06:47 PM] <KK> That's a lot of water!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:06:50 PM] <Evie> and it shook the house a few times and made the power flicker
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:06:53 PM] * Sarah is a a few minutes away from posting a link to photos of the flooding in her area.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:07:23 PM] <KK> At lest I hope you avoided the tornadoes.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:07:28 PM] <the_Bee> anyone here get tornados?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:07:29 PM] <KK> least
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:07:34 PM] <Evie> No tornadoes here, that I've heard of anyway
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:07:48 PM] <Evie> and my MIL would have called me freaking out if we'd had any local ones on the news. :-)
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:07:54 PM] <Shiral> None in my neck of the woods, either
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:07:56 PM] <DesertRose> Nope, no tornadoes in NE Florida.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:08:17 PM] <the_Bee> mostly Texas and the midwest, I hear.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:08:18 PM] <jemler> if they hit here, you'll never know. i live in a valley. they'd bounce of the hills like a pinball machine on acid!

[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:08:38 PM] <jemler> hi cm
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:08:43 PM] <the_Bee> Hi CM
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:08:44 PM] <DesertRose> We've had a few in recent memory. Just not super recent.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:08:46 PM] <DesertRose> Hi CM.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:08:50 PM] <Shiral> Hi CM
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:09:01 PM] <cynicalmedic> Hello, all.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:09:36 PM] <the_Bee> Are you on call today, CM?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:09:38 PM] <Evie> brb, DS just cut the tip of his finger on his axe and I need to see what we've got in the first aid kit to help with that.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:09:51 PM] <DesertRose> Actually, by land area, Florida gets more tornadoes than any other US state. Texas gets more for sheer numbers, but there's a lot more land in Texas than there is in Florida.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:09:58 PM] <Shiral> Good heavens, the action never stops at Evie's house
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:10:07 PM] <DesertRose> Not when you have teenaged children.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:10:09 PM] <cynicalmedic> Not tonight, Bee - the other lieutenant is on.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:10:29 PM] <jemler> why does he have an axe?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:11:07 PM] <Shiral> Maybe his sword is in the shop
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:11:08 PM] <Evie> He's going through his great outdoorsman phase. :-D
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:11:27 PM] <the_Bee> A girl I once knew sliced her fingertip off with an electric knife. Before the could sew it back, the cat ate it.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:11:39 PM] <Evie> and the injury isn't nearly as severe as what "axe cut" sounds like. It's just a wee gash
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:11:49 PM] <Shiral> Are you going to have to follow him through the wilderness with boxes of bandaids, Evie? =o)
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:11:50 PM] <Evie> Ack, Bee!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:00 PM] <KK> brb
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:11 PM] <Evie> Nope, the kid's on his own there. I'm allergic to the great outdoors. ;-)
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:15 PM] <DesertRose> Eep, Bee.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:16 PM] Join Jerusha has joined this channel ().
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:20 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:24 PM] <Evie> He'll just have to learn how to do his own first aid
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:29 PM] <the_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:30 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:33 PM] <Evie> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:37 PM] <jemler> hi jerusha
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:38 PM] <Shiral> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:12:57 PM] <Jerusha> *offers birthday cake left over from dinner
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:02 PM] <DesertRose> Avoiding the outdoors is no guarantee of being free of the need for first aid. I sewed into my left index fingertip a few years ago.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:06 PM] <jemler> happy birthday!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:11 PM] <DesertRose> Whose birthday, Jerusha?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:12 PM] <Evie> ouch, DR!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:21 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, it was definitely no fun.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:24 PM] <the_Bee> Happy Birthday, Jerusha
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:25 PM] <Evie> And see, this is why I don't use a sewing machine. I would do that too, DR.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:28 PM] <jemler> you had birthday cake for dinner? what was dessert?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:29 PM] <Jerusha> My oldest son. He's 31 and had a Star Wars birthday
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:30 PM] <Evie> My machine hates me.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:35 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Jerusha.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:40 PM] <Shiral> Happy birthday, to him
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:43 PM] <DesertRose> This was my mom's machine that bit me.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:44 PM] <jemler> light saber candles?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:47 PM] <the_Bee> Happy Birthday to Jerusha's son.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:49 PM] <Evie> I may drag it out when I make Kelson's war pavillion, but not for anything smaller than that.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:57 PM] <DesertRose> Happy birthday to Jerusha's son!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:13:57 PM] <cynicalmedic> Once, in the days of yore, my partner and I covered a con. Two idiots had Klingon swords, and managed to slice each other open, despite the master armorer's warnings. I discovered that geeks and blood don't mix.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:14:02 PM] <Evie> Oh, fun, Jerusha!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:14:16 PM] <Evie> I made a Star Wars cake for my son several years ago
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:14:20 PM] <Jerusha> Thanks everyone!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:14:23 PM] <Shiral> Did they faint at the sight of blood, CM?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:14:28 PM] <DesertRose> Oh dear, CM.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:14:30 PM] <cynicalmedic> In droves
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:14:47 PM] <Shiral> I hope everyone ended up okay but....snicker!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:14:52 PM] <jemler> especially since it was their own!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:15:08 PM] <DesertRose> My ex-boyfriend is a paramedic, and he can look at other people's blood no end, but let him bleed and he flips out.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:15:15 PM] <Evie> This con geek isn't particularly fazed by blood, at least if it's not coming out in bucketloads, but then again, I used to be a veterinary assistant.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:15:29 PM] <cynicalmedic> Yes, the folks at Cowley had a good chuckle over the whole thing.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:15:44 PM] <jemler> is that what they call it at the slaughterhouse?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:16:32 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, but you're a mom, Evie. You CAN'T faint every time the kids skin a knee or slice off the tip of a finger.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:16:41 PM] <cynicalmedic> My mom did.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:16:51 PM] <Jerusha> Or break their nose playing footba
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:16:52 PM] * Shiral is now finished with lunch and can type with all 10 fingers again
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:16:55 PM] <Jerusha> football
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:16:57 PM] <jemler> just finished reading Dan Brown's latest, Inferno.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:16:59 PM] <DesertRose> Your mom fainted at the sight of blood, CM?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:17:10 PM] <Evie> I remember my mom freaking out when I brought home the lens from a dog's eyeball once. I thought it was pretty cool looking...sort of like a flattish clear jellybean.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:17:15 PM] <cynicalmedic> Yes, she did - Dad was the family medic.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:17:19 PM] <DesertRose> Oh dear.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:17:38 PM] <jemler> so much for Doctor Mom.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:17:52 PM] <Shiral> I stay calm in emergencies, but freak out afterwards
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:17:55 PM] <DesertRose> Well, I was a semi-single parent when my daughter was little; I was explicitly not allowed to pass out.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:17:59 PM] <DesertRose> I do that too, Shiral.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:18:26 PM] <Evie> Fortunately my kids rarely have the sort of accidents that lead to bleeding. DD just has a habit of breaking her fingers, usually at the most inopportune times. Not that there's really a great time to break a finger.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:18:28 PM] <Sarah> Those photos I was talking about (flooding) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.575882292443087.1073741855.172996372731683&type=3
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:18:51 PM] <cynicalmedic> We had a pretty epic week once - Sis broke her fifth bone and Dad cut off his entire finger with the joiner. Sis called me at work, and could only stammer "Dad - blood - help", then she and Mom both fainted.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:19:09 PM] <Jerusha> Yikes!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:19:30 PM] <DesertRose> I see the floodwaters made off with a refrigerator, Sarah.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:19:36 PM] <the_Bee> Were they able to sew your dad's finger back on?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:19:39 PM] <jemler> he CUT off his finger with a JOINER? contradictory!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:19:44 PM] <Evie> Wow, Sarah!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:19:48 PM] <DesertRose> Oh dear, CM.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:20:22 PM] <Evie> Wow...at least she managed to make the call, CM!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:20:54 PM] <Sarah> DesertRose: Indeed it did! with the office note still on it!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:20:59 PM] <DesertRose> OL
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:21:00 PM] <Shiral> What a boring family I have. I can't remember the last time any of us bled
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:21:00 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:21:10 PM] <cynicalmedic> No, it was a mess. He made a joke out of it - it was the finger to make the universal gesture of opprobrium. If it warranted the full force, he used his left hand, and if not he used stubby on the right.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:21:17 PM] <Evie> LOL, Shiral!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:21:26 PM] <DesertRose> My stepdad damages himself so often doing yardwork or whatever that it's not news.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:21:47 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, CM.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:21:53 PM] <Evie> LOL, CM
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:22:38 PM] <DesertRose> It seems like that man goes through more bandaids than anybody else I ever saw.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:23:07 PM] <cynicalmedic> I have a family full of adopted nephews - all police officers. They always manage to have some sort of damage, since they are all young and do crazy things.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:23:26 PM] <DesertRose> Oh fun.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:23:35 PM] <jemler> that is the official definition of 'Guy'!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:23:52 PM] <Evie> The dreaded words..."hey, guys, watch this!"
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:23:57 PM] <Sarah> I agree, Evie
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:24:21 PM] <Jerusha> I've heard that more than once!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:24:22 PM] <cynicalmedic> LOL, yes - I'm sure a great many 911 calls are prefaced by that, Evie
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:24:23 PM] <Evie> Those were DS's actual words, I kid you not, the night he accidentally broke his glasses in front of everyone at our Thanksgiving Party.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:24:26 PM] <Sarah> I hurt myself al the time so I carry two first aid kits of band aids and other stuff to fix it before anyone can fuss at me.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:25:03 PM] <Jerusha> How did he break the glasses, Evie?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:25:10 PM] <jemler> kid riding his bicycle around he block. 'look ma, no feet!', look ma, no hands!', look ma, no teeth!'
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:25:19 PM] <Sarah> oh geez
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:25:37 PM] <Evie> He had those flexible titanium frames that are supposed to be super flexible and spring right back into shape--we chose those since he's active and we wanted something super durable--but evidently he thought that was such a cool feature that he overstressed the metal in testing it out....
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:25:43 PM] <Shiral> Don't let him loose in the woods, Evie. Build him a pen in the backyard, instead!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:26:07 PM] <cynicalmedic> and body armor
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:26:09 PM] <Evie> So on that particular evening, he was going to show off how his glasses could be bent and would spring right back into shape, but surprise! They snapped in half at the bridge instead.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:26:17 PM] <DesertRose> Oops.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:26:20 PM] <Sarah> And gift him with duct tape on every occasion.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:26:26 PM] <jemler> you ever consider one of those collars that shock pets into obedience?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:26:45 PM] <Jerusha> Doesn't work with sons, Jemler. Trust me
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:26:46 PM] <Evie> And normally DH and I would have been pretty ticked off, but he looked so comical standing there with his "What just happened?" expression on his face and everyone laughing at him.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:27:21 PM] <Sarah> Like I said, Evie: Duct tape.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:27:33 PM] <Evie> Yeah.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:27:58 PM] <DesertRose> A great many things can be fixed with either duct tape or WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape; if it doesn't move and it should, WD40.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:27:59 PM] <Evie> He can borrow some from DD. She has a collection of duct tape in designer patterns and colors
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:28:20 PM] <Evie> She used them to decorate her school binders this past year
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:28:30 PM] <DesertRose> I can't believe DH doesn't have a collection of duct tape, being an active SCA fighter?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:28:30 PM] <cynicalmedic> My niece likes that, too.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:28:38 PM] <Evie> mustache duct tape, teddy bear duct tape, etc.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:28:38 PM] * Shiral snaps fingers and sets up an ice cream Sundae bar
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:28:49 PM] <Evie> Oh, he does, DR, but it's plain boring silver duct tape
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:28:51 PM] <DesertRose> KK said she'd brb. I wonder where she is.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:28:52 PM] <Jerusha> Oh, I thought she used them to decorate DS?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:29:03 PM] <cynicalmedic> Coband is good stuff to have, too.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:29:10 PM] <jemler> what is coband?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:29:11 PM] * the_Bee contributes a jar of honey.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:29:20 PM] <DesertRose> I've known a number of SCA fighters to have multicolor duct tape for various purposes.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:29:25 PM] <Evie> Should we use a summoning spell for KK?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:29:26 PM] <the_Bee> and what's WD40?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:29:30 PM] <cynicalmedic> Self adhesive elastic bandage
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:29:41 PM] <jemler> wd40 is oil
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:29:47 PM] <DesertRose> WD40 is sprayable oil.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:30:08 PM] <jemler> spray it on elbows like in the wizard of oz!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:30:22 PM] <DesertRose> I don't think human elbows work like tin man elbows.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:31:03 PM] <Shiral> SHes's here, she just excused herself a few minutes ago
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:31:10 PM] * Evie sets out ice cream at the four corners
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:31:44 PM] <Jerusha> Jerusha sets out a shiral crystal in a waffle cone
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:31:45 PM] * Shiral marks the triple circle with a stream of hot fudge
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:31:52 PM] * jemler makes himself an ice cream sandwich
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:32:26 PM] <the_Bee> Who's going to open the Gateway to let KK back in?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:32:31 PM] <jemler> oreo cookies shells with butter pecan ice cream
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:32:36 PM] * Shiral sets a little dish of chocolate chips before each of the four archangels
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:32:40 PM] <Evie> Primus, Secondus, Tertius, Quartus, Fiat KK!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:32:50 PM] * jemler removes the Trap on the Transfer Portal
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:32:54 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Evie.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:32:54 PM] <Jerusha> chocolatus yummus
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:21 PM] <Evie> OK, fine. Porsche KK! Mitsubishi KK! Whatever works!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:32 PM] Join Alkari has joined this channel ().
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:41 PM] <the_Bee> Hi Alkari
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:41 PM] <Alkari> Hi everyone.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:42 PM] <Evie> Well, the charm summoned Alkari instead
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:51 PM] <jemler> hi alkari
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:52 PM] <cynicalmedic> Hi Alkari
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:55 PM] * Shiral summons King Brion to Summon KK back to chat
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:56 PM] <Alkari> LOL - I was sorting out travel stuff'.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:58 PM] <Shiral> Hi Alkari
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:33:59 PM] <Evie> We were trying for KK, but welcome anyway, Alkari. ;-)
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:34:00 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Alkari!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:34:15 PM] <Alkari> Have just booked on a llovely cruise in Europe next year!!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:34:22 PM] <Evie> Nice!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:34:30 PM] <Jerusha> Very nice, Alkari
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:34:38 PM] <Alkari> Yes - 15 days from Amsterdam across to Budapest
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:34:40 PM] <the_Bee> ocean, rivers or both?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:34:51 PM] <cynicalmedic> That sounds great! We are getting our plans together to go to Scotland in October
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:35:07 PM] <Jerusha> Wonderful, CM!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:35:27 PM] <Alkari> We have the equestrian games in France, then we have a week to 'fill in' between Paris and Amsterdam ... which I am sure will be terribly hard!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:35:40 PM] <Alkari> Scotland - lovely, CM.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:35:40 PM] <Jerusha> Poor Alkari!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:36:07 PM] <Alkari> And we will spend a few days in Budapest at the end, of course.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:36:10 PM] <jemler> if you're cruisin from amster dam to budapest, i think there are mountains in the way.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:36:26 PM] <Jerusha> We're doing flooring, so I'll tack a piece of tartan to the doorway
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:36:26 PM] <Alkari> Wow jemler - you surprise me!!!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:36:32 PM] <jemler> lol
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:37:10 PM] <cynicalmedic> We're going to Dougie McLean's Perthshire Amber festival.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:37:20 PM] <Evie> Ooh, I love Dougie McLean!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:37:25 PM] <Jerusha> Amber festival?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:37:28 PM] <Alkari> Amber as in Amber fluid?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:37:51 PM] <Evie> Almost as much as Andy M. Stewart/Silly Wizard. :-)
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:38:24 PM] <Evie> Though it might be difficult to have a Silly Wizard festival now that Johnny Cunningham is dead. :-(
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:38:52 PM] <cynicalmedic> It's a music festival - Mr.McLean wrote a music suite called Perthshire Amber, and the festival is named after it.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:39:13 PM] <Alkari> Are you doing much travel apart from the festival?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:39:22 PM] <jemler> oct 25 to nov 3
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:39:47 PM] <cynicalmedic> That's what we're working on. I love Scotland, but DH has never been there.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:39:48 PM] <jemler> perthshireamber.com
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:40:01 PM] <the_Bee> What would be the Deryniverse analog to Perthshire, and would it be a major souce of shiral?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:40:38 PM] <Alkari> Probably somewhere up in Duncan's territory - or else the far N/East beyod Marley
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:41:01 PM] <jemler> the Perthshire Shiral Festival?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:41:08 PM] <the_Bee> Kheldour?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:41:10 PM] <Evie> Yeah, what Alkari said. I'd have said Cassan or Claibourne
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:41:16 PM] <Shiral> Why would I come from there? Oh... never mind.=o)
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:41:19 PM] <Jerusha> Claibourne?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:41:43 PM] <Alkari> Kheldour?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:41:54 PM] <Jerusha> We're happy to celebrate you, Shiral!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:41:55 PM] <cynicalmedic> We have a tour guide, of sorts. A friend is from Aberdeen, and he is going, too. I have a feeling, though, it will be like travelling with Twoflower
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:42:10 PM] <Alkari> Where is shrial supposed to be found in the Deryniverse?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:42:16 PM] <Shiral> Yes, although alas, I don't light up with golden light
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:42:26 PM] <Alkari> LOL @ CM - just do your own thing!!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:42:34 PM] <DesertRose> ROFL, CM.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:13 PM] <KK> Hi, I'm back. Had a phone call I had to take.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:18 PM] <DesertRose> WB, KK.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:20 PM] <the_Bee> WB KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:21 PM] <Jerusha> Hi KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:24 PM] <jemler> rehi
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:25 PM] <cynicalmedic> Hi KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:26 PM] <Shiral> Streambeds, the coastline. No specific kingdom is named
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:33 PM] <Shiral> I sent Brion on a quest to look for you, KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:36 PM] <Alkari> Hi KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:40 PM] <KK> And I read through what was said whikle I was gone, so I'm up to speed.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:44 PM] <KK> while
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:43:53 PM] <Evie> Speaking of Brion, how is he and Alaric?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:44:04 PM] <Evie> Or how are they, even?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:44:11 PM] <the_Bee> We were speculating about the primary source of shiral crystals in the 11 Kingdoms.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:44:12 PM] <Jerusha> By now would it be he, Alaric and Jehana?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:44:27 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, KK, bynw and I are fiddling around with the website
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:44:28 PM] <KK> THey're fine. Alaric has just gotten back from leading the mission partway to retrieve the bodies of Xenia and her baby.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:44:29 PM] <Shiral> Three would really be a crowd in that situation, Jerusha.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:44:35 PM] <Evie> The primary source of shiral in the Eleven Kingdoms is KK, of course. ;-)
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:44:50 PM] <DesertRose> ...and we need a little more info about Edge Hill, if you wouldn't mind providing said info.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:45:14 PM] <Jerusha> I guess Alaric doesn't sleep at the foot of Brion's bed anymore,,
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:45:38 PM] <KK> Meanwhile, Brion went off to Bremagne on his own, got married, and came back. Alaric has just told Llion why he isn't competing in the squires' competition at the king's birthday tourney.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:45:54 PM] <Jerusha> Why isn't he?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:46:01 PM] <KK> No, he doesn't sleep at the foot of the bed.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:46:04 PM] <KK> Hasn't in a while.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:46:24 PM] <Shiral> A cat takes up enough room. A whole squire....
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:46:30 PM] <Alkari> rofl
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:46:33 PM] <KK> There's been some talk of resentment that he got to semi-lead the expedition to retrieve the bodies.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:46:36 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Shiral.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:46:39 PM] <Jerusha> Tee hee
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:46:56 PM] <Jerusha> Because he is not yet 25?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:47:13 PM] <Alkari> Poor Alaric - he would have loved to compete.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:47:15 PM] <Shiral> Or not yet 15?>
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:47:27 PM] <KK> Alaric explains that he was just doing what the Earl of Lendour would be expected to do, to assist in a mission in that direction. But he did NOT go into Torenth, per the king's orders.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:48:20 PM] <Alkari> Alaric has had to grow up so fast, so young
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:48:39 PM] <Jerusha> And restrained by the rules against Deryni
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:49:35 PM] <KK> Anyway, I was just rereading The Priesting of Arilan, to refresh my memory re goings on that Alaric would have known about. That story ws from Denis's POV; this is from Alaric's, which mainly has to do with being obliged to attend the execution. De Nore is responsible for that, of course, probably egged on by his egregious nephew.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:49:38 PM] <Jerusha> Is Alaric's choice not to compete a wise one, KK?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:50:04 PM] <KK> Probably yes.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:50:20 PM] <Jerusha> So the Priesting of Arilan is coming up next, KK?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:50:24 PM] <KK> It might divert attention from the new queen, which he would not want to do.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:50:41 PM] <Shiral> Jehana wouldn't appreciate it, either!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:50:44 PM] <Jerusha> Ever our honourable Alaric
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:50:59 PM] <Evie> Is he still a little sweet on the new queen, or has she figured out he's Deryni yet?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:50:59 PM] <KK> Yes, but Alaric has no direct participation in that.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:51:44 PM] <Alkari> Poor kid has to attend the burning, which was horrible enough
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:51:48 PM] <Jerusha> Not even yelling out "you are a priest forever?"
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:52:00 PM] <KK> There's another wrinkle he'll have to deal with, in that Silke is about to have a match made for her, and she balks--which is how she ends up on a convent.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:52:27 PM] <Shiral> The Haldane girls are problematical when it comes to marriage!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:52:33 PM] <Jerusha> He as in Alaric or Brion?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:52:33 PM] <DesertRose> Evidently.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:52:41 PM] <Evie> So she didn't have a true vocation, KK, or does she discover one later?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:53:20 PM] <KK> Nit sure on that yet.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:53:24 PM] <Alkari> LOL @ 'difficult' Haldane girls - why should they be any easier than the Haldane men!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:53:29 PM] <KK> Still working out the details.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:53:44 PM] <bynw> 1st tornado warning of the season .....
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:53:46 PM] <Evie> Hopefully she does, or eventually will. It would be sad if she was forced to spend the rest of her life in a convent if she doesn't truly have the heart for that.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:53:59 PM] <Sarah> bynw:
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:54:09 PM] <Jerusha> I suspect there were many that did
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:54:10 PM] <cynicalmedic> Like Cerys discovered hers.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:54:19 PM] <Sarah> bynw: we had all the mess you're about to get (i believe) over this weekend
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:54:26 PM] <Alkari> And Silke became a patroness of many things
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:54:39 PM] <Shiral> So Silke takes a look at her intended and says "No way!"?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:54:58 PM] <Evie> Luke is fascinated by something on the monitor and keeps getting in my way to paw at it.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:55:03 PM] <Jerusha> He was obviously not Torenthi!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:55:06 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Luke.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:55:07 PM] <KK> She's seen what happened to her older sister.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:55:13 PM] <KK> He's Connaiti.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:55:15 PM] <cynicalmedic> Perhaps she's scared after her sister's tragic end
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:55:23 PM] <Evie> I was just going to say, she may be afraid of the risks of childbirth
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:55:25 PM] <Shiral> Understandable
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:56:14 PM] <Jerusha> But her mother had many successful childbirths
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:56:30 PM] <KK> Anyway, I should have lots more to tell you by next week.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:56:32 PM] <Evie> It needn't be a rational fear.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:56:37 PM] <Jerusha> Yay!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:56:41 PM] <Shiral> Well, maybe the Connaiti guy isn't so hot looking'
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:56:44 PM] <Evie> especially if she and Xenia were close
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:56:51 PM] <Alkari> Yay. Is next w/e your Memorial day ?
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:56:56 PM] <cynicalmedic> or too old
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:56:58 PM] <the_Bee> Yes
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:56:59 PM] <Evie> Yes, Alkari
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:02 PM] * Shiral suggests unplugging the phone next week, KK. =o)
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:13 PM] <Jerusha> It's Victoria Day weekend, here
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:20 PM] <Alkari> OK. No GoT then
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:29 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, next weekend is Memorial Day in the US.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:33 PM] <Shiral> Or too vain, or boring, or...
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:36 PM] <Evie> DS graduates HS on Thursday, but we are having a family celebration on Memorial Day, since DH and some of our friends will be off work all day
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:45 PM] <DesertRose> Congrats to DS!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:51 PM] <Sarah> Ditto!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:52 PM] <the_Bee> saounds like fun
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:55 PM] <Jerusha> Congratulations to DS
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:57:59 PM] <Alkari> Graduation - wow, how time flies.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:02 PM] <Shiral> Tell him not to play with axes
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:07 PM] <cynicalmedic> Congratulations to Evie's DS
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:08 PM] <DesertRose> I'll be in South Carolina the weekend after Memorial Day for my cousin's graduation from high school.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:10 PM] <the_Bee> kudos to DS
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:14 PM] <Evie> LOL! Small chance of him listening, Shiral
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:19 PM] <Alkari> Congratulations to DS
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:30 PM] <Evie> I'll just hope he doesn't lop off any body parts with it
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:33 PM] <jemler> little boy is growing up!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:45 PM] <DesertRose> I should be back in time for chat, though, because the hell-begotten pod child has to be in school that Monday morning, so we have to come back on Saturday.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:46 PM] <Shiral> That would be a good idea
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:48 PM] <KK> Yep, no GoT next week--and I think there are only 2 or 3 episodes left in this season, after this week--which has a wedding, according to the TV guide.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:58:51 PM] <Evie> "Little" boy is nearly as tall as his 6' tall dad
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:59:25 PM] <Evie> LOL, DR
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:59:37 PM] <Jerusha> I must sign off and attend to the kitchen. All three sons were home for the birthday, so there is quite a bit of cleanup
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:59:41 PM] <Evie> "hell-begotten pod child"...I'll remember that next time one of mine is being one.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:59:49 PM] <DesertRose> She's taking three short classes in early summer, and she can't afford to miss a class session.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [07:59:55 PM] <cynicalmedic> Good night, Jerusha
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [08:00:03 PM] <KK> Well, try to keep everybody safe, you guys. I've got to dash. We've got a house guest from Ireland, and he and Scott are talking Outback. Yum!
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [08:00:04 PM] <Shiral> Night Jerusha
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [08:00:10 PM] <the_Bee> bye Jerusha
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [08:00:16 PM] <DesertRose> That was something one of my friends came up with when she was little; the expression was actually more of a reflection on me and my ex-husband than the kiddo.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [08:00:16 PM] <Shiral> Bye, KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [08:00:17 PM] <cynicalmedic> Night, KK
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [08:00:17 PM] <Evie> And I have a carpet steam cleaner I have to return by 8:45 tonight or risk a late fee, so I'd better finish the job I started.
[Sunday, May 19, 2013] [08:00:19 PM] <DesertRose> Night, Jerusha.
