[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:12 PM EDT] Join KK has joined this channel.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:13 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi DR. Where will you be TD. We will miss you
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:16 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hey, DR
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:18 PM EDT] <bynw> oh it would be fun (for me not Laurna and her character)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:19 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, KK!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:20 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:21 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:24 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:41 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> I can't do video chat, unfortunately.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello KK
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:52 PM EDT] <KK> How is everyone doing?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:05:53 PM EDT] <Dennis> How was your week, KK?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:06:01 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hi, KK
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:06:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> =(
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:06:16 PM EDT] <KK> Good. I got a lot of stuff out of my house, passed on to others or to Goodwill.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:06:25 PM EDT] <Dennis> Glad to hear!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:06:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I am having a productive day today, after a very quiet Saturday.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:06:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Always a good feeling
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:06:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Good to hear, KK. Anything else going on with you?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:06:52 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Have any of you been hit by Godzilla?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:07:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Fortunately not here in California, Bee
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:07:08 PM EDT] <KK> No, I keep looking at houses, but the right one hasn't appeared yet.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:07:24 PM EDT] <KK> No particular Godzilla here, Bee.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:07:32 PM EDT] <KK> It's hot and humid, though.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:07:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Indeed.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:07:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Home hunting definitely takes persistence
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:07:53 PM EDT] <KK> And stamina.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:08:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We've just had major thunder storms.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:08:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh yeah. It doesn't sound like looking at places should be tiring, but the cumulative effect is
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:08:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> In addition to heat and humidity, we've got an air quality warning because of the Sahara dust.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:08:31 PM EDT] <Dennis> I think it finally just got demoted to Captain Thunderstorm, though.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:08:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> That's Godzilla.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:08:47 PM EDT] <KK> We had a very hard rain this afternoon, but no thunder and lightning, for which Booker is grateful.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:09:01 PM EDT] * DesertRose loads a trout into the ballista and launches it at Dennis. ;)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:09:27 PM EDT] * Dennis tastes the rainbow.,
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:09:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:09:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm far enough away for that. At least for the moment.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:09:36 PM EDT] <KK> Woo-hoo, we haven't lobbed a fish at someone in quite a while.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:09:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Either trout, or Sahara dust
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:09:54 PM EDT] <derynifank> We have an air quality warning too.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:09:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That captain thunderstorm joke was fish-worthy. :D
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:09:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Jemler, we miss you.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:10:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We do.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:10:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> snaps fingers and loads the chatroom table with a sundae bar
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:10:24 PM EDT] <Dennis> I'll be happy to keep making terrible puns if it's needed to meet fish-lobbing quotas.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:10:25 PM EDT] * DesertRose raises a glass of mead in Jemler's memory and invites others to do likewise.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:10:29 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> I miss Jemler immensely!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:10:36 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, Jemler is much missed.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:10:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> For all of you coping with heat and humidity
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:10:45 PM EDT] <Dennis> Indeed. To Jemler, the much missed.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:10:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Skoal!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:10:49 PM EDT] * DesertRose adds cinnamon rolls to the sundae bar, just because.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:11:08 PM EDT] <KK> Do we think Dennis would make a worthy successor to Jemler?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:11:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes. We lost a good guy. 😢
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:11:29 PM EDT] * The_Bee adds honey and maple syrup.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:11:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't know that we need to speak in terms of successors, but Dennis and Jerusha both do a pretty good job carrying the pun flag. :D
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:11:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It hasn't been the jolliest year, so far
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:12:02 PM EDT] <KK> No, it has not.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:12:09 PM EDT] <Dennis> :)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:12:15 PM EDT] * DesertRose adds balela to the table for something fresh, cool, and savory.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:12:27 PM EDT] <KK> Balela?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:12:30 PM EDT] <derynifank> Happy to hear about your progress KK
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:12:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's a Mediterranean salad that, after the manner of recipes, has a number of different iterations.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:12:54 PM EDT] <KK> Ah.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:13:17 PM EDT] <KK> I suspected it might be Middle Eastern, given your interests.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:13:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But the main parts are garbanzo beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes, plus mint and parsley, and a dressing of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and jalapeno.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:13:45 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:13:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I actually found the recipe on Facebook; my childhood friend who is now a chaplain in the Navy posted it because they had bought some at Trader Joe's and loved it.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:14:19 PM EDT] <bynw> even a hint of jalapeno makes it too hot for me
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:14:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She said, "It tastes like everything bright and fresh," and it does.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:14:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, you could omit the jalapeno.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:14:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A good summertime salad
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:14:50 PM EDT] <derynifank> Sounds very tasty
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:14:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I recently heard jalapeno described as a"Mild" pepper.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:15:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It is, in the scheme of hot peppers.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:15:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm an absolute wuss when it comes to spicy foods
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:15:50 PM EDT] <derynifank> In comparison to some of the really hot ones, it is
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:16:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Bell peppers, anaheim chiles, those I can handle. Anything more than mild salsa and I'm in trouble
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:16:28 PM EDT] <bynw> me too Shiral
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:16:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The pygmy lion has come to say hello
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:16:44 PM EDT] <derynifank> Could you put the recipe on the forum or give us a link to find it?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:16:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> https://imgur.com/a/hhcJ47X
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:17:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Sometimes a restaurant's notion of mild is not mine.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:18:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> When I went to Mexico in 2015, we were always assured "Oh yes, it's mild salsa" and they'd mix it at table side and serve it up. and it would always make my lips and tongue burn.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:18:30 PM EDT] <derynifank> Bynw, is the next Zoom meeting next weekend?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:18:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Forum Bot> @DesertRose created a new thread Balela (Mediterranean chickpea salad) - https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?topic=2604.msg24321#msg24321 on Hearty Grub board
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:18:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> There you go. ;)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:18:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> If I ate anything a Mexican person considered "spicy" I'd probably die.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:18:50 PM EDT] <bynw> it should be unless KK says otherwise :)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:18:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> For me it's usually Indian restaurants.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:19:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You could omit the jalapeno; I leave out the raw onion and replace it with a bit of onion powder in the salad dressing because raw onions and my stomach don't get along well.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:20:08 PM EDT] <derynifank> When I order Indian, they always aak me on a scale of 1-5 how hot I want it. I said in the middle, 3. Big mistake
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:20:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It makes a lot, but it's one of those dishes that tastes better after a day in the fridge.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:20:36 PM EDT] <bynw> i'd say 0. i dont want it hot at all
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:20:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I prefer fruit salads, with feta
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:20:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> cheese
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:20:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, any culture that comes up with a dish like vindaloo is SERIOUS about hot-spicy flavors.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:21:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My father and step-mother once took a cooking class when visiting Oaxaca on vacation. The food was so spicy, they couldn't eat it. And my father used to be very macho about his ability to eat spicy food.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:21:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You can put feta in the balela, too; the Israeli style does that.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:22:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> As for this salad, it's about as hot as my stomach can take; my taste buds wouldn't mind a bit more kick although they're not complaining, mind. :D
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:22:52 PM EDT] <KK> Jalapeno, a mild pepper? Not for my stomach!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:23:17 PM EDT] <KK> And I'm good for zoom next week.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:23:18 PM EDT] <derynifank> Taste buds and stomach ofetn don't agree onspicy I have found
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:23:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> True, derynifank, alas. :)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:23:47 PM EDT] <bynw> whooo hooo (on the zoom)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:23:52 PM EDT] <KK> I like my Indian food mild, like Korma. And Mexican, not too spicy.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:23:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yay Zoom!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:24:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mexican food doesn't have to be hot, although some of it certainly is.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:24:49 PM EDT] <KK> And of course, Indian should always be tempered with lassi!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:24:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> Back from the grociery store. Finally found hand soap.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:25:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> Mild salsa for me
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:25:12 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Mild Mexican food? Never heard of it.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:25:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yay, Laurna! I've been questing for Lysol; I have some, but my can is nearing empty.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:25:16 PM EDT] * bynw makes his own salsa
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:25:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> No Jelopenose I can not even spell the darn things.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:25:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I don't mind a bit of spice, but if the only thing I can taste in the dish is HOT, it's not for me.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:25:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And it is a yummy recipe, bynw.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:25:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> If I were setting up a salad bar, I'd have spinach, feta cheese, candied pecans, and marinated mushrooms.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:26:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> BRB, need to go retrieve laundry from dryer.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:26:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> I will join you for that salad, Bee
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:26:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> I like a good Ceasar
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:26:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Caesar salad is much more my thing, yes
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:27:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And Italian food is more my kind of cuisine
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:27:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> Same here
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:28:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A country that can produce pesto and tiramisu as well as ice cream and pizza is all good with me!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:28:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:29:20 PM EDT] <bynw> went out to eat friday night here: https://johnnysitaliansteakhouse.com/ (midwest only i'm afraid)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:29:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> I like carne Asada tacos and barritos. but I never learned to like Chilli reanos or enchiladas. Like my folks loved.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:30:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> BRB, need to retrieve tomorrow's supper from freezer
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:30:41 PM EDT] <Laurna> Never thought about an italian steak house.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:31:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sounds like Olive Garden
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:31:55 PM EDT] <bynw> not exactly no definitely more of a steak house
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:32:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> ok
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:32:30 PM EDT] <KK> We only got an Olive Garden last year or two, and coronavirus has killed it. I don't think it's reopening.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:33:16 PM EDT] <derynifank> I like their salad selection, definitely more variety than most steakhouses
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:33:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> anyone who serves steak and asparagus is good with me.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:33:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Back in March I caught a story about a little San Francisco Tea and pastries kind of place that opened on March 1st....and had to close 2 weeks later. I felt so sorry for them.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:34:03 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is too bad KK
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:34:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Laurna, you and I are on the same wavelength. =o)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:34:17 PM EDT] <bynw> if i want more italian. i'd go here https://biaggis.com/ over olive garden
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:34:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Obsidian> Our Outback has just announced they're not going to reopen.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:34:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> WOW so sad Shiral
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:34:31 PM EDT] <derynifank> I love tea and pastry places but they have cbecome much more scare here
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:34:40 PM EDT] <derynifank> scarce
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:35:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> They had worked incredibly hard to find the right place, get the financing etc all lined up, and BOOM. COVID gave them a very ugly blow
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:35:23 PM EDT] <Dennis> Mmmm.... steak.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:35:35 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Oops. Our Outback.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:35:53 PM EDT] <KK> I hope our Outback comes back.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:35:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I would order takeout more often, but my two experiences with it have not been all that great
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:36:14 PM EDT] <Dennis> We do takeout once a week, from different places in the area. Usually it's good.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:36:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I was craving chinese food, and when you're going to eat that with chopsticks, you need it cut into bite-size pieces so you can eat it neatly. This....wasn't.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:36:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I have a whle lot of coupons from REstaurant.com, but I'm not sure which ones are reopening.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:37:00 PM EDT] <KK> I'm considering an order of Pad Thai noodles this week, from Thai takeaway. It's good, and good for at least 2 meals.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:37:09 PM EDT] <derynifank> Uh Oh, Slip and slide off the choopsticks?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:37:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yumm
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:38:33 PM EDT] <KK> She's probably objecting to the gyrations one must go through to hold something on the chopsticks long enough to bite off a piece.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:38:37 PM EDT] <derynifank> California Pizza Kitchen has a Thai Crunch salad that is really good
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:38:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> In my case, it was enormous, unwieldy chunks of meat that I had to give up and cut with a knife and fork before trying the chopsticks, again. and there was nothing IN the dish but meat--not so much as a mushroom or a scallion. I was not impressed.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:38:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> I have not eaten out in so long that last week when I had fast food it tasted so awful I will not go back.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:39:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> There was a mini-panther demanding food just now.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:39:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I like Thai food, too but Sunnyvale is not a great restaurant town
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:39:43 PM EDT] <Laurna> Best feed him, Bee
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:39:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Her. I did.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:40:17 PM EDT] <derynifank> Before he decides on "food" on the hoof
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:40:39 PM EDT] <Dennis> Fed the cat late. She Who Arises and Meows is definitely Displeased, especially seeing as how she had to be freed from the cone of shame.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:40:41 PM EDT] <KK> I've been to the local market only 3 times in the last three months; and the less you eat, the loss often you have to go out for groceries. But I do need to venture out to Costco, probably tomorrow. I need TP and a few other things that only Costco has.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:40:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My pygmy lions have fortunately been fed
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:40:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> She tried to get into the butter this afternoon.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:41:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yeah....we do need our sanitary supplies
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:41:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Back.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:41:26 PM EDT] <KK> Why the Cone of Shame?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:41:27 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Front
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:41:28 PM EDT] <Dennis> Front
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:41:55 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Great minds.....
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:41:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I keep my butter in my dish cupboard. Dmitri killed two butter dishes by knocking them onto the floor
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:41:56 PM EDT] <Dennis> She's got a sore on her belly that won't go away, partly because she won't let it alone. Probably taking her back to the vet tomorrow.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:41:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> This was my once by monthly grocery store run.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:42:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Why the cone, Dennis?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:42:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> I just don't like running out of salids
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:42:09 PM EDT] <bynw> my little leopard has self service food. and is currently asleep. but at 14, she sleeps a lot
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:42:18 PM EDT] <Dennis> Well, great minds and mine, TD. :)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:42:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have yet to eat Thai food from a restaurant, because my introduction to Thai food was Thai home cooking (cooked by the mother of one of my high school friends), and I'm afraid no restaurant will match up. :)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:42:35 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Lol
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:42:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Probably not, DR. =o)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:42:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> You are right DR
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:43:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I took my mom some fresh apricots last week. Now she wants more. =o)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:43:53 PM EDT] <derynifank> My son-in-law's Phillipino grandmother made the best dishes and no restaurant has even come close
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:44:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Proving that mothers are mothers regardless of culture, she was convinced that no one ever had enough to eat and cooked for a battalion.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:44:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> Dennis have you tried "Cowboy Magic" It is for horses, I use it on my dogs, but you will need to check if you can use it on cats. It cures up any skin troubles almost instantly
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:45:20 PM EDT] <KK> Will probably still need the Cone, since otherwise she'll lickit off, no matter what it tastes like.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:45:40 PM EDT] <derynifank> How many weeks til retirement Laurna?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:46:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> 3weeks, then 2 week vacation than 1 day of work and good bye folks.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:47:09 PM EDT] <derynifank> Yay for you!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:47:23 PM EDT] <bynw> why bother coming back for 1 day?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:47:24 PM EDT] <KK> Yahoo! What are you retiring from?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:47:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> Thank you, Hope to get to there safely.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:47:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What do you plan to do with your new freedom, Laurna?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:47:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> Kaiser Permenente
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:47:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> sleep
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:47:54 PM EDT] <bynw> she's going to post more on the forum :)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:47:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:48:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Snuggle puppies. :)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:48:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> lots of snuggle
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:48:22 PM EDT] <derynifank> And do some reading for others hoping to post
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:48:27 PM EDT] <KK> That, too.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:48:28 PM EDT] <bynw> sit in the chat all day and talk to anyone that comes in
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:48:48 PM EDT] <derynifank> Also play with puppies
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:48:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> I got them a step to get up onto the couch. now they sleep there all the time. and sleep on me when I am sitting there.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:49:06 PM EDT] <derynifank> Great idea
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:49:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sure why not Bynw.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:49:17 PM EDT] <Dennis> Laurana Thnk you for the recommendation. We'll see what the vet says.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:49:31 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good luck Dennis
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:49:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Train puppies to chat. =o)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:49:54 PM EDT] <KK> Would one of those soft roll collars keep her from licking, or does she need the stiff cone?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:50:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL and you will see lots of this, zxxxxxxxzxzxxzxzxxzzxxzxzxxzxx
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:50:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well yes, typing with paws is hard =o)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:50:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:50:45 PM EDT] <KK> I've never had any luck keeping a cone on one of my critters. Fortunately, it was very rarely needed.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:50:53 PM EDT] <Dennis> I think she needs the cone. We have a velcro plastic one, so it's not too bad, but she clearly doesn't like it.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:50:57 PM EDT] <derynifank> Cats like to type, maybe puppies would too
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:51:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> right now they want to eat everything. and I mean everthing.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:51:29 PM EDT] <KK> It's hard for them to eat and drink while wearing a cone. and if they need to use a cat flap, forget it.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:51:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> But paws are even worse than rented fingers.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:51:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A cat in a cone is probably plotting your deminse
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:51:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Demise
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:51:48 PM EDT] <KK> Probably.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:52:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> How would you even get a cone on a cat?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:52:13 PM EDT] <derynifank> Very carefully
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:52:20 PM EDT] <KK> Very carefully, while wearing armor.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:52:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> You would grow a third arm and work very fast
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:52:25 PM EDT] <bynw> wait till it's asleep and carefully slip it on with gloves too
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:52:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> I like the idea of a fat plushy neck colar
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:52:48 PM EDT] <derynifank> Try rose gloves which are thick and go to the elbow
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:52:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL about the armor
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:53:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Mail gauntlets would work
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:53:10 PM EDT] <KK> I'm told that they tolerate the roll collars much better than cones.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:53:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> A vet once told me to wrap Melantha up like a burrito to give medicine.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:53:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> sounds better to me
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:53:45 PM EDT] <Dennis> I feel like we're lucky with our Miss, and I've gotten very adept at putting the cone on and sealing the velcro in one motion.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:54:08 PM EDT] <derynifank> Impressive
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:54:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I was about to say, "unless you have a tolerant cat like Carys," but I've never actually had to subject her to the Cone. When I first adopted her and got her spayed, she didn't mess with her incision, and that's about the only time the Cone might have been needed. I don't actually know how she'd react.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:54:41 PM EDT] <bynw> yes that is an impressive feat
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:54:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> When I had to give Nina her SubQ treatments, I often wished for a third arm. One to hold the needle, one to hold the cat, and the third arm to get the fluid going and shut it off
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:54:47 PM EDT] <Dennis> Also, Shiral, there are three words too many in your comment about cats plotting demises. "In a cone" is definitely an unnecessary modifier.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:54:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> We put a cone on a dog only once. and he sprained his neck so bad trying to get it off that we thought he got paralysis. never used it again.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:55:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well yes, although Dmitri understands who fills his bowl
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:56:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thunder again
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:56:05 PM EDT] <Dennis> Heh.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:56:29 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sunny is eating the keys on my keyboard
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:56:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Helpful pup
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:56:59 PM EDT] <bynw> you are touching them so they must be tasty
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:56:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> vrty not
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:09 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:16 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:22 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Jerusha.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sorry to be late: beer can chicken takes too much clean up
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:37 PM EDT] <derynifank> Glad you are here
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:41 PM EDT] <Laurna> yumm
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Thansk, FDK
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:57:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> DFK, I meant
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:00 PM EDT] <derynifank> lol
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> You shouldn't let the chicken drink so much. Of course they make a mess when they try to cook!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:10 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:17 PM EDT] <Dennis> LOL
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It did; the beer spilled out over everywhere
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Even sober chickens can be messy cooks
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ROFL!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> LO
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:43 PM EDT] <derynifank> Apparently they didn't drink enough
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It's not like we never did this before
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:58:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Tasted good!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:59:08 PM EDT] <bynw> you've gotten chickens drunk before and did it again
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:59:13 PM EDT] <derynifank> But had the chickens done it before?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:59:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> They are not telling. The brotherhood of the plucked
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [7:59:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> oh dear
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:00:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> v
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:00:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> that was the puppy
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:00:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Which one? Paddy?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:00:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Sunny. :)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:00:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sunny
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:01:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yum. Today is brought to you by the letter S and the letter V
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:01:05 PM EDT] <derynifank> Have you ever seen a drunk chiken dance?Beats the funky Chicken
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:01:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Scritches for Sunny
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:01:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> Paddy is outside causin mayhem
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:01:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That's my boy!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:01:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> yep
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:02:40 PM EDT] <KK> I got to meet a puppy today. She's 9 weeks old, a lab-Beagle cross, chocolate brown, and cute as a bug. Very intimidated by Booker, though. She had to stay in the car while her people came in and took away some stuff.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:02:43 PM EDT] <Laurna> KK one of the ladies on the forum brought up an interesting Quote
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:02:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> "Some people, like Joram, can go to just about any level while on their feet and even functioning. Others, like Jebediah, go completely limp when they go into trance. I don't know whether it has to do with training, or what. Perhaps there's a physiological difference
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:03:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> I had not thought about going into deep trance and becoming "Limp" per say
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:03:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> I wonder if training is used to learn body control while in trance.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:04:04 PM EDT] <KK> Probably.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:04:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> DR mentioned that Healers do alot of self body training so that would make a lot of since to me.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:04:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The original line of discussion was about Princess Xenia and the Torenthi who seduced her, and whether he could have been controlling her.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:04:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Going limp while in a trance could be a definite danger to Deryni in Jebediah's lifetime
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:05:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> agreed
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:05:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I suspect her "free will" was influenced
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:05:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Premise: Gabrilite and Varnarite and other Healer training is available to anyone who shows the Healing talent.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:06:04 PM EDT] <derynifank> I always thought he was controlling her
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:06:44 PM EDT] <KK> I'm sure she would have fought back, if she'd had the choice.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:07:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My guess is, if someone is physiologically predisposed to becoming lethargic/limp while in trance, the Healing training that focuses on own-body regulation/Healing would also include "How Not To Collapse While In Healing Trance."
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:07:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Maybe not so available during the dark times, DR.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:07:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> Again I agree. But I am more curious about the general use of deep trance and being able to sit up in a chair or ride or horse.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:07:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It might have been a progressive thing--light contact-control while they were dancing in the view of the court, but probably stronger control once he'd managed to lure her away from the hall
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:07:58 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds good to me.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:08:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Remind me--which novel?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:08:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> She was a pawn in a larger game that went bad
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:08:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It's interesting about Joram vs Jebediah, since presumably they had similar training in the Michaeline Order.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:08:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I suppose it depends on one's psychic abilities and what one is doing with the trance state, too.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:08:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The King's Deryni, Bee
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:09:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That's probably why Camber thought it was a physiological variation.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:09:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thanks, Shiral
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:09:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> If you're Deryni, you're Deryni, but not all Deryni are equal in terms of the potency of their power.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:10:09 PM EDT] <derynifank> Dhugal was in deep trance healing Matyas and he satyed upright
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:10:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> KK, I need to make one more check for formatting consistency, and then I'll email you "The Miracles of St. Jorian the Martyr." Revanne is going to send you several of her stories, too.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:10:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> Maybe you can not ride a horse while in very deep trance. Maybe you would fall right off
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:10:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Assuming she hasn't already.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:10:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> And even trained Deryni can have individual variations.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:10:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Probably not in very deep trance, no, but you might be able to manage a light-to-moderate depth of trance and still manage to direct the horse.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:10:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Excellent, DR and revanne
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:11:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But I can't think WHY one would want to ride a horse while in very deep trance, either. :D
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:11:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> or a well-trained horse.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:11:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> I love the ST Jorian stories.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:11:31 PM EDT] <KK> Take your time, DR. I got Revanne's stories, but haven't had a chance to even open the files. And we certainly don't have a contract yet.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:11:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Revanne and I were laughing about how we had written those stories at about the same time and how the characters would NOT. Shut. Up.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:12:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Do character ever shut up?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:12:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Unfortunately, yes
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:12:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> St. Jorian had a lot to say, and as it transpired, so did Bishop Arilan.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:13:00 PM EDT] <KK> Looking forward to that one, DR.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:13:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> They are wonderful
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:13:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I find as I'm getting older, I sympathize more with some of the characters I thought were cantankerous pains in the neck when I first read the stories in my late teens/early twenties. ;)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:13:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Maybe you could give them a strong poke, Shiral, or bribe them with cookies
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:13:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Denis Arilan chief among those designated cantankerous pains in the neck. :P
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:13:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> and wine
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:14:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Kelric drinking wine could cause big problems
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:14:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> Love it
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:14:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> At least as a toddler!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:14:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> hope he is at least 14
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:14:34 PM EDT] <derynifank> He didn't do a badjob with the honey. Loved that
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:14:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or that the wine is heavily watered. ;)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:15:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> "Where did that pot of mulled wine go? I swear it was warming by the fire."
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:15:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:15:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:15:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "burp"
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:15:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> he shared it with the dog
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:15:34 PM EDT] <derynifank> But you can do such fascinating things with hoey
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:15:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Drunk toddler and drunk dog. Great. Richenda is going to be fit to be tied.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:15:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:16:02 PM EDT] <derynifank> honey
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:16:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Honey is for three year-olds. Older ducal terrors get into the wine
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:16:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> My mind sees Kelric as the ducal terror
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:16:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> I can so see that.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:16:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sounds like a certain ducal heir is about to learn the hard way the consequences of excessive consumption of alcohol.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:16:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> we will need a page story for kelric
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:16:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> None other. Or maybe he tests the wine on his baby sister...
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:17:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> OH NO
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:17:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ack!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:17:17 PM EDT] <derynifank> He doesn't mean to be q terror, he is just "interested" and vvery curious
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:17:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> He is a Morgan, after all
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:17:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup. He's just a little guy trying to figure out the world
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:17:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I remember reading a story about someone drinking too much and getting in trouble with their parents, but dad said he wasn't going to punish the kid because the morning would do a perfectly good job of that!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:18:14 PM EDT] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:18:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He doesn't cause confusion because he can't make magic work. He gets in trouble because his magic works better than he thinks.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:18:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes that is why I don't drink
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:18:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> HEHE
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:18:52 PM EDT] <The_Bee> babn Krlty sister? I didn't know there was another Morgan girl. Briony Bronwyn is older than Kelric, isn't she?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:18:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't drink often, and generally only a drink or two; alcoholism runs in my family, and I'm not keen on seeing if I have the predisposition.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:19:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, there's a baby listed in Codex born after Kelric. Grania, I think.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:19:13 PM EDT] <derynifank> Grania is younger thouhg
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:19:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> Grania is his baby sister
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:19:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Grania was the little sister
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:19:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes. But by the time Kelric gets into the wine, his baby Sister Grania would have been born.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:19:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And quite possibly a few more siblings. ;)
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:19:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> In the Codex but not yet in the books?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:19:46 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oh I married Grania off to Prince Javan By the way
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:19:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And she could be another little Morgan who is always reaching for things she shouldn't have
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:20:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, in Codex only, Bee.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:20:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Of course!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:20:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> That sounds like almost any toddler
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:20:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Pretty much.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:20:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> They haven't enough experience of the world to have any sense of danger.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:21:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> "But she couldn't have reached it! She couldn't last week!"
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:21:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> May be Grania reached for the wine. and kelric tried to stop her and ended up getting it all over him.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:21:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys says Hi and purrs at everyone but wants me to stop typing and pet her, so I'm gonna be quiet for a bit.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:21:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Possibly
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:21:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello to Carys.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:21:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Scritches for Carys
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:21:52 PM EDT] <Laurna> Pets for Carys
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:22:09 PM EDT] <derynifank> Pets for Carys
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:22:14 PM EDT] <Laurna> Need to go on a puppy counting. I see two only.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:22:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> "Kelric are you watching the baby?" "Oh yes, Papa!" (offstage) CRASH!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:22:32 PM EDT] * The_Bee scritches Carys and makes sure the wine is out of reach.
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:22:52 PM EDT] <Laurna> Found them eating my shoe
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:23:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oops!
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:23:15 PM EDT] <KK> Bee, that was <last> week. Are you sure that's still true?
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:23:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Next lesson, Don't put Kelric in charge of watching his little sister.:
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:23:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> But you have another shoe, right Laurna?

[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:24:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> They can eat that one next
[Sunday, June 28, 2020] [8:24:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Give them the other shoe in the pair so they'll match. =o)

"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.)
