[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Bee.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You can see the living-room side of the kitchen passthrough from pic 5.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:10 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello KK
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee, derynifank, and KK!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:21 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, KK and everyone!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> DesertRose, that's gorgeous
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:27 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:29 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> Getting good sleep in the new home?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hello everyone! Glad you maaade it, KK!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hi KK, hello Bee
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:01:53 PM EDT] <derynifank> hi everyone. what home are we talking about
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:02:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> hello DFK
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:02:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The counters and appliances and flooring have been redone since my folks sold the house in the mid-90s, but the floor plan is stil the same.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:02:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The house I grew up in: [link removed for privacy]
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:02:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hey y'all. 👋
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:02:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I love living rooms that don't have a second floor over them. Expensive to heat, but really beautiful
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:02:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello Cat
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:02:59 PM EDT] <KK> Getting excellent sleep, other than having to get up in the night to let Mr Dog out. We've not yet learned to use the new dog door.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:03:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am dreaming of a kitchen that is finished and fully repainted.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:03:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I learned to cook in that kitchen, and on one hand, it's nice to be able to learn in such a spacious kitchen, but on the other hand, it makes for some interesting learning curves later in life.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:03:34 PM EDT] <derynifank> that is lovely DR
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:03:35 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> If a dog isn't used to a dog door, it takes a while for them to catch on.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:03:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sweet Bouker should figure it out soon
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:03:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Was that you bedroom. DR?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:04:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Bethane, that's suburban Charleston, South Carolina; it's doesn't get all that cold, although the AC probably sent the power bill high enough to make my stepdad swear like the quartermaster he is.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:04:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Pic 11 is, yes.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:04:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> With the wonky angled ceiling I adored.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:05:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Sleep is good, KK.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:05:19 PM EDT] <KK> It's an electronic door, that activates from a fob he wears. Except that I've just not had time to work with him on it. But I don't want Gus to go outside, so this was necessary. Remains to be seen how well this is all going to work out.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:05:49 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> He'll figure it out.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:06:22 PM EDT] <bynw> i'm sure he will get it eventually once there is sometime to work with him on it
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:06:37 PM EDT] <KK> I certainly hope so.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:07:11 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> IBLK got spayed last Mon. Got the cone off her head on Thurs and picked out her stitches but seems to be none the worse for it.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:07:31 PM EDT] <Laurna> good for IBLK
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:07:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Good that she's spayed. Kittens are cute, but there are a lot of homeless critters in the world.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:07:46 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> She don't need no skinkin' cone!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:08:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The sibling of a friend got their dog spayed, and instead of a cone, the dog had a collar that looked like a glazed doughnut.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:08:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Friend pestered sibling for pics, but I'm not sure she ever got them.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:08:37 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I've seen those & they look more comfortable than a cone.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:08:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Also cuter.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:08:47 PM EDT] <KK> I'd guess that the incision will hold, after 4-5 days.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:08:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sunny could only stand the cone for two days, I thought he was going to break his neck the way he kept banging into the walls and furnature.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:09:25 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> IBLK was having a lot of trouble eating and drinking water in the cone.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:09:49 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Incision seems to be fine.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:09:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> Same with sunny.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:10:13 PM EDT] <derynifank> Glad Sunny got rid of it before he did any damage
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:10:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> PJ (parents' eldest cat) wasn't a fan, but she figured out that if she turned her head side to side as she moved, she could manage not to bump into anything. We started calling it her sonar array.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:10:46 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> LOL! Very descriptive!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:10:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Jessa on the other hand had to go back and have her stitches put back in at day 10 because she pulled them out and they got infected.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:11:02 PM EDT] <KK> I've never had much success with critters in cones. Oswald of blessed memory wouldn't wear his, and licked his nether parts raw. It wasn't a pretty sight, and I suspect he didn't much enjoy it either.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:11:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not that my family is a Navy family or anything. *whistles innocently again*
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:11:13 PM EDT] <derynifank> poor Jessa
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:11:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Ouch! Poor Jessa!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:11:42 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I'm sure she didn't like that!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:12:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> @KK Are you still an active judge for Writers of the Future?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:12:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> She was very unhappy. She had the stitches for another 15 days. and believe me I washed them with an achohol swab every day.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:12:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Owie, poor Jessa and poor Oswald.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:12:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> IBLK is getting wary of being picked up, since she's been stuffed in the cat carrier several times now.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:13:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You just have to pick her up and reward her with something she likes (petting, treats) so she learns that being picked up does not necessarily equal being chucked into the carrier.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:13:21 PM EDT] <KK> Not active at much of anything right now, other than trying to find stuff in boxes and get it put away. Made a bit of progress on the office today, and kitchen is looking better.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:13:31 PM EDT] <Laurna> Rubbing alchohol seemed to do the trick, you might want to try it with IBLK. it will keep her from licking the area
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:13:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Does your kitchen have plenty of counter space?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:14:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> Glad to hear it KK
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:14:27 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, I'll need to do some retraining on that being picked up.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:14:31 PM EDT] <KK> A reasonable amount, but not nearly as much storage as the old kitchen.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:14:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> retraining you or IBLK?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:15:11 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> LOL! Both, Bee,
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:15:11 PM EDT] <KK> I do have a nice peninsula, and my old kitchen island on wheels is in there as well.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:15:38 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> A rolling island can be a real lifesaver.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:15:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I love a nice peninsula
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:15:52 PM EDT] <Laurna> If you have enough room for the island then you have a good size kitchen
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:16:19 PM EDT] <KK> It's a narrow island. And it almost doesn't work.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:16:21 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Any photos, KK?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:16:34 PM EDT] <KK> Not yet, Bee.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:16:50 PM EDT] * bynw just put a nice big steak on the george foreman
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:17:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That sounds good, bynw
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:17:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> I will find a portal to help you eat that Bynw
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:17:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Right, Laurna? I love a good steak.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:17:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:17:42 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Tasty!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:17:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I have a George Foreman, but I don't use it that often.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:18:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Like I said on Shiral's Facebook post (I can't remember what yummy thing she made), once we figure out Portals, we're all going to be eating very well!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:18:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I've thought about getting one, but we don't have a lot of counter space.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:18:30 PM EDT] <bynw> i could have used the air fryer but i've got the george foreman out
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:18:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> My propane tank, has a leak in the valve. so the guy said the tank has to be empty before he can replace the valve. I am afraid to cook for fear it will run out before the weekend was over.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:18:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Air fryers are neat, too!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:19:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> HoundMistress: a george foreman or a portal?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:19:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:19:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My ususal cooking appliances are the microwave and the crockpot.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:19:14 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, both! For sure!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:19:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I can't remember the last time I had steak, it's no fun to eat it alone. I grew up in a family was reserved for company or celebrations.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:20:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> Bee I need to learn to use the crockpot
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:20:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My mom asked if I wanted an air fryer and I said, "Where would I put it?" I wouldn't mind having one, but my kitchen (and my apartment in general) already looks like a submarine--no storage space wasted.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:20:10 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> If we had portals, the good cooks would have to have trapped ones.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:20:26 PM EDT] <KK> I had a George Foreman that was my mother's, but I never used it--struck me as being fiddly to clean--so I gave it to Goodwill.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:20:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> And just as we're typing this, the Instant Pot ad comes up on my FB feed
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:20:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL HoundMistress
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:21:36 PM EDT] <bynw> mine has the removable plates so its a breeze to clean
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:22:00 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> On the other hand, if any good cooks wanted to pop into mine with edibles, that would be fine.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:22:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> speaking of food, does anyone know if eggs can be safely frozen, raw or hard-boiled?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:22:21 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I heard they can but it changes the consistancy.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:22:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh, slow cookers are great! One of my favorite things to do is Tex-Mex chicken: rub a little olive oil on some boneless skinless chicken, place in the bottom, add salsa, diced green chiles, canned tomatoes, brown sugar, and a laundry list of seasonings, turn it on low and leave it alone for 6-7 hours.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:22:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> I don't think so
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:22:25 PM EDT] <KK> I think mine also had removable plates, but it still seemed like a lot of aggro. Don't think I ever used it after my mother gave it to me.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:22:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Use in tacos, enchiladas, burritos, or serve it over rice by itself.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:22:58 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Sounds good, DR
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:23:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Also freezes well, so you can make a bunch and freeze some for later suppers.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:23:52 PM EDT] <The_Bee> BRB
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:24:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/can-you-freeze-eggs#freezable-types
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:25:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> interesting
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:25:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not hard-boiled, but raw if you crack them and whisk them.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:25:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> @The Bee Yes, cooked eggs can be frozen. Think of all the frozen breakfast sandwiches in the grocery store freezer case.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:25:54 PM EDT] <derynifank> i don't think you are supposed to freeze raw eggs, Can freeze cooked eggs but the taste isn't the same
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:26:44 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That's why God made hot sauce!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:27:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> snork
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:27:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Just make sure the yolks are cooked through before you freeze them.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:27:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> When we were living on the sail boat. Mom purchased 12 flats of fresh raw eggs that had never been in the refrigerator. they survived at normal room temperature for about 10 months. after that we started throwing them away as some had gone bad. Refrigerated eggs only last 30-60 days.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:27:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thanks, DR.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:27:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If they're literally farm-fresh, yes. But supermarket eggs, no.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:28:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Why is that? (about the eggs)
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:28:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes, mom had them special ordered to be farm fresh and not cooled
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:28:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have a few friends who keep yarn hens, and their eggs will keep quite a while.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:28:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I have almost 4 dozen eggs on hand and no potluck to bring deviled eggs to.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:28:41 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yarn hens? They have eggs?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:28:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:28:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Bee, maybe see if a food bank or soup kitchen nearby can use them?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:29:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> 🤣
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:29:18 PM EDT] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: https://mibbit.com Online IRC Client).
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:29:21 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Egg salad sandwiches, Bee?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:29:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ack, we lost KK!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:29:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Mmmmm, egg sammiches
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:29:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> That's a if they're fresh enough.thought,
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:29:41 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Uh-oh!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:29:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Check soup kitchens first.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:30:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> I need to boil some eggs. egg samwitches sound good.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:30:13 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Soup kitchens and food pantries
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:30:30 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They are really good, aren't they, Laurna!

[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:30:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> egg salad sandwiches are good. Maybe I'll get somebfacon to add

[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:31:12 PM EDT] <revanne> Hi all
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:31:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi revanne. How is England?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:31:18 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> You ARE up late!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:31:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hi Revanne
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:31:58 PM EDT] <revanne> Just woke up to see to DH so making the most of interrupted sleep.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:32:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Beats playing around on your iphone...
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:32:28 PM EDT] <revanne> Yep.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:32:37 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Shall we bore you back to sleep?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:32:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> We can do that.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:32:50 PM EDT] <derynifank> we are more fun than playing on your i phone
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:32:57 PM EDT] <revanne> Sorry I frigh6 KK off though :-)
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:33:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Did you watch Prince Philip's funeral, revanne?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:33:10 PM EDT] <bynw> https://www.dropbox.com/s/wiyki8r28748jas/2021-04-18%2018.26.57.jpg?dl=0
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:33:21 PM EDT] <revanne> Yes, lots of tears!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:33:31 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I missed it. Slept too late on Sat & forgot. God rest his soul.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:33:37 PM EDT] <revanne> Seeing the Queen alone, so sad
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:33:44 PM EDT] <bynw> ack we did loose kk
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:33:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> I had a few just from seeing parts of it.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:34:00 PM EDT] <derynifank> I lost it when they sang the navy hymn
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:34:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I have seen parts on TV and the internet.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:34:10 PM EDT] <bynw> it was a standard quit though (must have accidently closed the browser window for mibbit)
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:34:22 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, I would have cried if I saw the whole thing.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:34:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> @Revanne That's what brought on the tears.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:34:26 PM EDT] <revanne> And seeing the land rover
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:35:04 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> So sad for Her Majesty
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:35:13 PM EDT] <derynifank> why the empty dropbox> Are we getting a surprise?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:35:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I watched the Navy Hymn, but not much more.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:35:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> 😭
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:35:22 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They said he was the last person who called her by Lilibet.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:35:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> awwww
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:35:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> Glad to see Harry and William walking together. and a photo of Duchess Kate was lovely
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:35:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh jeez, the Navy hymn breaks me up regardless.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:36:06 PM EDT] <derynifank> Me too. I live in a navy town
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:36:28 PM EDT] <revanne> It almost felt like an elegy for that whole generation who fought in WW2
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:36:32 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Amazing Grace gets me every time but I don't think the C of E uses that one.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:36:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Bio-father was a submariner (before I was born), and mom and stepdad and basically their entire generation of my family worked as Navy civilians, so yeah.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:36:55 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> We are fast losing all our WWII generation.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:37:06 PM EDT] <derynifank> He was one of the last of that Greatest Generation
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:37:13 PM EDT] <revanne> We do but it would have to be the navy hymn for the Duke
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:37:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> My father-in-law is a WWII vet... he's 97
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:37:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> They say the Quuen deliberately put Peter Philips, her oldet grandson, between William and Harry.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:37:26 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Ah, yes.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:37:41 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I heard that, too.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:37:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Whose son is Peter?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:38:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Anns?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:38:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I'm glad you asked that, Bee
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:38:12 PM EDT] <revanne> So sad he wasn't able to follow his navy career longer and he and HM have more time before she became Queen.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:38:13 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Anne's?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:38:25 PM EDT] <derynifank> Princess Anne's
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:39:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> That makes sense.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:39:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Charles Spencer walked between William and Harry to Diana's funeral. There was nothing to putting Peter Phillips between his cousin yesterday.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:39:17 PM EDT] <revanne> Anne's and he is the eldest grandchild which I gather is why he walked where he did.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:39:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Her father was very young, really, when he died.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:39:31 PM EDT] <revanne> 56
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> My Dad died at 56, too. Same reason; smoked himself to death.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:12 PM EDT] <derynifank> I think smoking had a lot to do with his early death
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Yeah, that's young.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:14 PM EDT] <revanne> It's generally accepted the stress of being King during the war killed him
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The smoking didn't help, though.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Whose father? Not Annes!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:38 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I'm sure that's why he smoked so much.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:38 PM EDT] <revanne> Smoking being the accepted relief for stressvtgen
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, King George VI, Elizabeth II's father.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:53 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> No, QEII
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:40:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> The stress may have increased his smoking.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:25 PM EDT] Join KK has joined this channel.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Rehi KK!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> When I was watching The Crown, I'd hear his cough, then watch him light up and just cringe.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> Wellcome back KK
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:34 PM EDT] <revanne> Hi KK

[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hellos Jerusha
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:54 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:56 PM EDT] <bynw> hi jerusha
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:41:59 PM EDT] <revanne> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:08 PM EDT] <KK> Well, that was weird. Mibbit just froze on me, and I couldn't get back in.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Having to become king after Edward's abdiication must certainly been stress ful.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys says hi and purrs.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:12 PM EDT] <derynifank> Hi Jrusha. How was the lasagna>
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> New Wi fi acting up
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:31 PM EDT] <revanne> Especially given his stammer
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> smacks Mibbit around until it behaves itself
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:37 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> IBLK is patting my leg, she's going to want dinner soon.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Lasagna was good; kitchen is a war zone
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:56 PM EDT] <revanne> Revanne sends glue across the pond
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> don't let the pots win
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:42:57 PM EDT] <KK> Did anyone respond about Evie?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:43:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi jerusha. Have you got your covid shot yet?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:43:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> What about Evie?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:43:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Tomorrow, Bee
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:43:14 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> What about Evie?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:43:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> What about Evie?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:43:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> We have not heard from Evie.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:43:39 PM EDT] <revanne> That's good news Jerusha
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:43:42 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, that's not good!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:43:54 PM EDT] <KK> That's what I was asking. Has anyone heard from her?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:44:00 PM EDT] <derynifank> Is anything going on? Hope she is ok
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:44:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> No.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:44:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> No, I wish we would hear from her.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:44:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I think she may have other interests now
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:44:23 PM EDT] <bynw> i last spoke to her about 3 days ago
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:44:27 PM EDT] <bynw> briefly
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:44:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Any news?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:44:54 PM EDT] <revanne> Hi chatted with her briefly about Prince Phillip's funeral yesterday and she seemed ok
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:02 PM EDT] <bynw> just that she is really busy
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> OK is good
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:12 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Busy is good
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:13 PM EDT] <KK> That funeral was impressive, wasn't it?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, Sundays she's usually with her parents.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is good
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I think she said she always has family on Sundays
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:30 PM EDT] <revanne> I think her parents take up a lot of her time and energy
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:41 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That can do it
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:42 PM EDT] <bynw> that's ok. her parents are important
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:45:57 PM EDT] <revanne> Absolutely Bynw
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:46:16 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, they are. Mine are both gone. Miss Mom.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:46:18 PM EDT] <KK> Yes. And now that they're local, it follows that they will want to spend more time together.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:46:23 PM EDT] <derynifank> And she wanted them close so she could look out for them
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:46:23 PM EDT] <revanne> And yes KK
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:46:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Close is a good thing; being far away is not easy
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:46:59 PM EDT] <revanne> Not so worrying if you can go and see them when you need to
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:47:08 PM EDT] <KK> Revanne, how is your husband doing?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:47:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Truth. I'm so glad my sister moved back close to my parents since I'm not able to.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:47:14 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup. One of many reasons I still live in Jacksonville.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:47:30 PM EDT] <bynw> i wish mine were still around. lost my mom in 2007 and my dad in 2017
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:47:34 PM EDT] <revanne> Not too good KK, thanks for asking.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:47:38 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> IBLK has changed to jumping in my lap, jumping down and going towards her food. I think I have to go. Lou is hungry, too.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:47:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear, revanne.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:01 PM EDT] <KK> Did the two of you watch the funeral yesterday?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Take care HoundMistress
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Everyone have a good week and hopefully I'll remember again next Sunday!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:14 PM EDT] <bynw> cya HoundMistress
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Have a good week, HoundMistress
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:21 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good Night Judy
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:23 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Bye, all!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:23 PM EDT] <revanne> He's very confused as to who lives here and seems to think I come in replicate
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:29 PM EDT] <revanne> Bye
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Bye HoundMistress
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:35 PM EDT] <KK> Bye, Hound Mistress.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:36 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Gotta feed your family, Houndmistress-- two-legged and four-legged.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> See you next week.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Having an identical twin is not enough?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:55 PM EDT] Quit HoundMistress () has left this server (Quit: Connection closed).
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:56 PM EDT] <derynifank> Nite Houndmistress see you next week
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:57 PM EDT] <revanne> Clearly not.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:48:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oh dear. Sorry Revanne. that must be very frustrating
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:49:26 PM EDT] <KK> Frustrating for both of you.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:49:32 PM EDT] <revanne> It's fine when I can calm him down, not so good when not.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:49:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Did he enjoy going out for lunch and venison pie?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:50:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> I wonder what venison pie tasts like.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:50:12 PM EDT] <bynw> and for those that missed it earlier ... here is my lovely dinner tonight: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wiyki8r28748jas/2021-04-18%2018.26.57.jpg?dl=0
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:50:20 PM EDT] <revanne> Very much. We try to focus on the good things. The venison pie was YUMMY
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:50:29 PM EDT] <Laurna> Glad to hear that
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:50:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Will a new dog help? A bit of a focus point?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:50:49 PM EDT] <KK> Yummy, Bynw!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:50:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> What cut of steak is that, bynw?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Bynw, Medium rare?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:04 PM EDT] <revanne> A bit like very good quality lean beef
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> I hear even the queen got two new puppy corgies
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yum!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:17 PM EDT] <KK> Anything with venison has to be yummy.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> New puppy corgies? YAY!!!!!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> Dogs make a huge difference in emotions.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think the last time I had venison, it was in kebabs on the grill. Soo goooood.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:44 PM EDT] <bynw> labeled as ball tip steaks
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:55 PM EDT] <bynw> and medium rare is the only way to have steak properly
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:51:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> I heard she got them when Phillip was in the hospital. Is that Right Revanne?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:52:23 PM EDT] <derynifank> They were given to her as gifts
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:52:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> So they're not descended from the originals?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:52:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> Not sure.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:52:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> They might be
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:52:59 PM EDT] <derynifank> Don't think so
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:53:06 PM EDT] <KK> And I think they are Corgi mixes. Not sure mixed witih what. Not Dorgies, I don't think.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:53:15 PM EDT] <revanne> I don't know. She wasn't going to get more because of her age some years ago but now especially as she is still isolated because of Covid, perhaps
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:53:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Puppies will keep her busy.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:53:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is so true
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:53:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Puppies can only help 🙂
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:53:47 PM EDT] <KK> I understand she had them with her when she left Windsor to return to Buck House.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Buck House?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Buckingham Palace.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> Corgy puppies are addorable
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:11 PM EDT] <KK> Buckingham Palace.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> lol
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ah, I should have guessed that
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Puppies are adorable regardless of breed, generally.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> When did she return to Buck House? I thought she was still at Windsor.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> They are very strong dogs, and low to the ground.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:45 PM EDT] <revanne> She's still workin just remotely
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:54:54 PM EDT] <KK> I understand that it was today.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:55:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> bred to herd cattle.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:55:12 PM EDT] <KK> Windsor is her home, Buckingham Palace is her office.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:55:27 PM EDT] <revanne> I thought so too but maybe she doesn't want to stay in Windsor now the duke has gone
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:55:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I had not heard she'd returned.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:55:49 PM EDT] <KK> Might just be a rumor.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I wouldn't blame her for not wanting to be at Windsor, under the circumstances.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:08 PM EDT] <derynifank> I read that she planned to remain at Windsor
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Just so long as she's got the puppies with her...
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> A change of scenery might well be in order.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> The puppies will have a blast at Buck House, long corridors to run.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> I agree Bethane
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:26 PM EDT] <KK> On the other hand, she might want to stay there because that's where Philip is buried.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:34 PM EDT] <revanne> There's a cool film of Princess Anne teaching her how to do Zoom
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Cool
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Aw, I bet that is sweet!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:56:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Oh, that's probably so sweet
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:57:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> I tried to teach that to my mom, did not work
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:57:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "Just look into the little camera, Mummy."
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:57:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> 🤣
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:57:46 PM EDT] <KK> I can join a zoom if I have the link. Haven't a clue how to initiate one.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:57:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> It freaked her out.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:58:17 PM EDT] <revanne> My DH struggles not to understand that people aren't actually there.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:58:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> That could be a problem
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:58:34 PM EDT] * DesertRose hugs revanne.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:58:38 PM EDT] <revanne> I think it's partly responsible for his confusion
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:58:46 PM EDT] <Laurna> oh dear
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:58:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I'm so sorry, Revanne... 😦
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:58:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> My Dad's caregivers suggested a zoom meeting. No way he would understand it
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:59:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> YouTube has tutorials for that, KK.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:59:20 PM EDT] <revanne> This blessed Covid has a lot to answer for.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:59:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It does indeed.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:59:33 PM EDT] <KK> I'll eventually check that out--in my copious spare time.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:59:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> My words would not be so polite
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:59:40 PM EDT] <derynifank> So true
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [7:59:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> I was thinking what Jerusha said
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:00:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mine either. I would show my submariner's daughter/quartermaster's stepdaughter colors in VERY short order.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:00:07 PM EDT] <revanne> I taught my sister-in-law howcto set it up and she is totally techno phobic
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:00:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Spare time? Is that like spare change we don't use anymore?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:00:13 PM EDT] <KK> But thank God we have the zoom technology during these Covid times.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:00:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> True, KK.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:00:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Yeah
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:00:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> At least we can see and talk to each other remotely.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:00:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> We've been doing Zoom church for the past year mostly
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:00:58 PM EDT] <revanne> Absolutely and we might not have done Zoom chat without it
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:01:10 PM EDT] <revanne> I love seeing you all
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:01:16 PM EDT] <Laurna> I do too
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:01:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm still not used to see myself not acting like my mirror image.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:01:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We've been doing e-SCA meetings and e-events for the last year, but the next in-person SCA event is apt to be a hug fest.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:01:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> good thought Bee
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:01:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I love seeing y'all too. I've gotten to where I can tell people's voices even if I'm not at my computer right that second.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:02:06 PM EDT] <revanne> We're back in church but it's still weird. No singing or sharing the peace
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:02:32 PM EDT] <KK> How many of you have gotten your full Covid shots?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:02:32 PM EDT] <derynifank> IT's good to see people and not have just disembodied voices
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:02:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I sometimes have trouble matching someone's real name to their username.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:02:44 PM EDT] <Laurna> First Moderna only so far
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:02:47 PM EDT] <revanne> Well Demercia and I are a big give away
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:02:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> My doctor said I only needed one since I already had Covid itself. And I've had that.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:03:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Same here DR. Crown is in two weeks, will be partly open, but also streamed.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:03:10 PM EDT] <revanne> Only one so far
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:03:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I get my first shot tomorrow
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:03:16 PM EDT] <derynifank> My DH and I are fully vaccinated
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:03:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I got my second Pfizer on Tuesday of last week.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:03:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> The next will be four months later
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:03:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've had both. Moderna
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:03:28 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I can tell your voice from Demercia's, revanne.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:03:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I'm fully vaxxed, and got my shingle van last Friday.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:06 PM EDT] <revanne> She's pusher than me because I lived so long in the north
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> There is a slight difference but it is amazing how similar you twin ladies sound
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, yes, that's exactly it.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Still need to do shingles, but it will wait until after Covid vaccinations
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:25 PM EDT] <revanne> Pusher
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She's VERY RP, whereas you're RP with a northern flavour.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:38 PM EDT] <revanne> Posher
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I'd like to get the shingles, but it's got a live virus so I'm supposed to not get it.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:52 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes I but can tell that you are wilder and feircer. in a very soft way.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:04:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> RP?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:05:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Received Pronunciation.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:05:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A bit like Columcil, perhaps?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:05:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The "educated, upper-class" British accent.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:05:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Is that the BBC accent?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:05:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I wonder if I should get the shingles vax; I'm not old enough yet, and I never had chicken pox anyway.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:05:43 PM EDT] <revanne> Largely
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:05:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> They're no longer using the live virus, Bethane.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:06:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think BBC is Estuary English, which is close to RP but with a bit of London flavour.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:06:01 PM EDT] <revanne> Re BBC accent
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:06:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> No? Maybe i can get it then. My mom had shingles and was miserable for over a years
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:06:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> DH had it; he was not a happy camper
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:06:37 PM EDT] <KK> Check with your medical team.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:06:44 PM EDT] <revanne> Anything than actual shingles is worth it
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:07:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I about had a heart attack when the Pod-Child caught chicken pox, because I hadn't ever had it and she was still little enough to be nursing, so it's not like I could stay away from her.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:07:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> It's a series of two jabs 2-6 months apart, no more than 12 months.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:07:21 PM EDT] <revanne> More painful than childbirth and no baby at the end
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:07:59 PM EDT] <derynifank> The disease not the shot
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:08:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> DR, my husband had chicken pox as an adult. It also apparently really sicks
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:08:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> sucks
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:08:32 PM EDT] <KK> Cameron had chickenpox twice, which I didn't think could happen.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:08:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, that's why I panicked; I was a young adult, to be sure, but an adult, and chicken pox tends to present far more severely in adults than in children.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:08:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is aweful KK
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:08:53 PM EDT] <revanne> Yes, not the shot. I had shingles 4 years ago and ouch
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:09:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> The disease, DFK. And it can leave lasting nerve damage.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:09:13 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think we have a generation-skipping immunity to chicken pox, because my mother's mother never had it either, but my mom and her brother both did.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:09:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> I remmeber Revanne. But it did let you have time to join us in a story/game
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:09:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Writing time is good
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:09:45 PM EDT] <revanne> Yes indeed Laurna!!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:09:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> a good escape
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:09:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> It is good; that's why I haven't cursed Covid as much as many others have
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:10:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But now there's a chicken pox vaccine, so if the Pod-Child ever has bio-children, we may never know if the immunity passed through her or not.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:10:43 PM EDT] <bynw> that takes away all the fun of getting out of school from having chicken pox
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:10:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> When I popped into IRC today, we were talking about GotP and how the story is almost at the end.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:11:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am such a hermit these days i didn't even catch the normal cold this year.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:11:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> But not quite yet
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:11:11 PM EDT] <revanne> Join a game they said. It'll be fun!!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:11:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, but it also saves these kids from having to deal with shingles when they're older, so.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:11:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> And was it? 😉
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:11:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Laurna said that
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:11:25 PM EDT] <bynw> it has been fun
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:11:26 PM EDT] <KK> Hermit here, too. Not a cold for more than 2 years.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:11:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> Almost, Revanne, Check Trello tomarrow when you have time. thanks
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:11:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL revanne, I have had fun. lots of fun
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:12:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I'm not quite sure what I will do when it's over
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:12:02 PM EDT] <revanne> It's tomorrow now
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:12:14 PM EDT] <revanne> A
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:12:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Huh, it never even occurred to me that I haven't had a cold or flu since last March...
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:12:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> You need your sleep first
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:12:31 PM EDT] <revanne> And yes me to
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:12:38 PM EDT] <revanne> Too
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:13:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, my mom was saying that she likes this whole face mask thing. She hasn't had a cold or anything either.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:13:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Which reminds me, I have several masks cut out that I need to sew.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:13:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've been boringly healthy, but I need to have my cholesterol checked.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:13:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Bethane, there's only been 1500 verified cases of flu this year. Mask usage is the reason.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:13:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> The duchess of Cambridge was gorgeous in her face mask.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:13:58 PM EDT] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Boringly healthy is good
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:15 PM EDT] <derynifank> But she is gorgeous in anything
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I liked Camilla's face mask
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:21 PM EDT] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> agreed
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The mask pattern I like is from a Chinese designer, and the post with the details mentions how common it is across Asia to mask up if you have anything remotely contagious.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Duches of Cambridge is Kate, isn't it?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Which, you know, is not a bad idea. Have a little sense of community here, people.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, Bethane.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> yes
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:14:56 PM EDT] <KK> Catherine, please!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:15:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Definitely!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:15:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Is that her name? I dont' think I'd ever heard...
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:15:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> Then there is Katherine, Queen of the Deryni.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:15:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Catherine Middleton was her maiden name, yes.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:15:59 PM EDT] <revanne> Yes, and yes KK. I don't think anyone other than the press calls her Kate
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:16:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Oh well, next season of The Crown when it comes out
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:16:23 PM EDT] <KK> And she hasn't been Kate Middleton for more than a decade.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:16:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I suppose technically she's Catherine Mountbatten-Windsor now.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:16:42 PM EDT] <KK> Catherine Cambridge, perhaps?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:16:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> HRH Catherine Mountbatten-Windsor, Duchess of Cambridge.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:16:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> No, she's Catherine Cambridge.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:17:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I only get my news of the royals from t he press, so that explains it. 🙂
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:17:04 PM EDT] <revanne> It always slightly freaks me to see Catherine Windsor in Zoom chat
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:17:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I don't think she uses Mountbatten-Windsor
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:17:36 PM EDT] <Laurna> I never thought of it that way.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:17:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> They are the Cambridges
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:18:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> William too?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:18:04 PM EDT] <revanne> Mountbatten-Windsor is her surname Cambridge is her title
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:18:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> So what does she call herself? And who is she when she's at home?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:18:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> 🤣 When William And Catherine got married I got flooded with friendship request on Facebook AND Twitter.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:18:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, I think, but I can't say I'm an authority
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:18:36 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oh dear CQW
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:18:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> CW
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:18:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> At home she's probably "Mummy"
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:19:06 PM EDT] <revanne> Yep
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:19:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> not to William. I hope.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:19:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> My headers said "Sorry, I'm not the Catherine Windsor you seek. I'm a middle aged American!"
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:19:46 PM EDT] <revanne> Lol
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:19:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:19:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> tee hee
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:20:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> "Your princess is in another castle"
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:20:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The press keeps referring to Harry's wife as "Meghan Markle."
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:20:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> the press is dumb
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:20:36 PM EDT] <revanne> The press are ignorant. Sorry but they cause so much trouble
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:20:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> I would say the do
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:20:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> they do
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:21:11 PM EDT] <revanne> They still write Kate Middleton
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:21:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Well, some w.omen do choose to keep their maiden names
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:21:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> 🙄
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:22:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I didn't keep my maiden name, but it did take me 10 years to get around to finally changing it
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:22:18 PM EDT] <revanne> Which is fine if they do not just because the press are being rude
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:23:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I'm off, y'all. You take care and everyone have a great week.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:24:00 PM EDT] <revanne> I think my daughter in law to be hasn't made up her mind yet, but is definitely going to keep her maiden name for work
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:24:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, Bethane!
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:24:06 PM EDT] <bynw> night bethane
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:24:12 PM EDT] <revanne> Night Bethane
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:24:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Have a good week Bethane, see you next week.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:24:28 PM EDT] * bynw pats his full belly after finishing that salad and steak
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:24:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> "you cannot hope to bribe or twist/ (Thank God0 the British journalist./ But seeing what the man will do/ Unbribed, there's no occasin to."
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:25:13 PM EDT] <revanne> Yum - it looked delicious. I might have to fix myself a midnight snack.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:25:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Nighters, Bethane
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:25:24 PM EDT] <derynifank> Night Bethane
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:25:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Midnight steak?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:25:26 PM EDT] <revanne> Lol Bee
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:25:47 PM EDT] <revanne> Alas no steak
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:25:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I wish I could remember who wrote that.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:25:59 PM EDT] <revanne> It's so true
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:26:32 PM EDT] <revanne> KK a quick Deryni question if I might?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:27:22 PM EDT] <revanne> When Dhugal became Duke of Cassan, do you have a view on who took his place in Transha?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:28:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> Did he not have a cousin who was his right hand man in Transha. I would have to look up his name.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:29:52 PM EDT] <derynifank> I thought Dhugal remained Earl of Transha along with being Duke. Like the Duke of Corwyn was still Earl of Kierney
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:30:09 PM EDT] <revanne> I didn't remember that. It's if I get around to writing Columcil's back story.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:30:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> Codex has Dhugal earl of Transha through 1130. I would imagine he would hold the title until he had a son. or maybe a second son
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:31:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Would tanistry play a role in deciding who gets what title?
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:31:01 PM EDT] <KK> All of the above.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:31:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> As his first son would become Earl of Kierney.
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:31:24 PM EDT] <revanne> Ah ok. Thanks
[Sunday, April 18, 2021] [8:32:10 PM EDT] <Laurna> Can a son be Earl of Kierney and Earl of Transha at the same time. or would these titles be held by Dhugal until he can give them to different sons?
