[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:04:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo KK
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:04:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> HiKK!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:04:56 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:05:00 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:05:06 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Bee. Hi KK
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:05:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> What's the cat status?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:05:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> We are very invested in KK remaining a hoMEOWner. ;)
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:06:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi, KK!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:06:26 PM EST] <The_Bee> LOL! DR
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:06:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> Or the lack of meows in her home being short-lived, anyway.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:07:02 PM EST] <KK> I think I've found the next cat. Met her yesterday at a local cat rescue. Grey tabby girl, about a year old, sweet and cuddly, a lap cat., presently called Daphne. Jumped right up into my lap as soon as I sat down in a big chair and made herself at home.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:07:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Sorry if I'm distracted. I've spent much of the weekend making Deryni character portraits, and am trying to get them on Flickr so I can share links to anyone who can't see them when they are directly uploaded here via Discord.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:07:13 PM EST] <The_Bee> and PURRRS
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:07:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> Excellent! Lap kitties are wonderful.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:07:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Aww, she sounds sweet!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:07:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> AWWWWWWW!!!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:07:37 PM EST] <KK> That is a necessity for me.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:07:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> Sounds like you got claimed. :)
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:08:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> You've been adopted!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:08:22 PM EST] <KK> The facility is great. I may consider taking a second cat from there. Will have to confer with the folk who run it, as to who would be a good match for her.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:08:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> A friend of mine adopted a ginger girl about four years ago, but Buttercup is the one who made the decision. Friend just signed the paperwork and brought her home.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:08:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh good!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:08:55 PM EST] <KK> Yep, I think I've been chosen. Was hoping for a different color, but good cats come in all colors, just like horses.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:09:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> Gray tabbies can be very pretty, and temperament is more important anyway, IMO.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:09:39 PM EST] <KK> Never had a grey tabby before.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:09:42 PM EST] <The_Bee> We all look forward to meeting Daphne. Will you keep the name?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:09:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> And it sounds like she has the lap-cat temperament on lock. :D
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:10:14 PM EST] <KK> Not sure. It isn't an awful name, and I know she hasn't had it that long.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:10:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> She may tell you what she'd rather be called, once she's home and settled.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:10:45 PM EST] <KK> Definitely true.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:11:10 PM EST] <The_Bee> I don't feel like a pet is really mine until I name her/him.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:11:34 PM EST] <DesertRose> And the flip side. You name the critter, they're no longer a foster/temporary pet.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:11:57 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Sounds like the perfect match
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:12:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> My parents knew Layla was staying when they started thinking about what to call her besides "kitten."
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:12:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Quick check: does this link work? https://flic.kr/p/2n3utKH
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:12:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup, Duncan with a portrait filter.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:13:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> Works for me.  Is thaat Kelson?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:13:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> OK, good
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:13:08 PM EST] <KK> Works for me.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:13:17 PM EST] <DesertRose> Young Duncan, circa Deryni Rising, IIRC.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:13:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> It's Duncan. I have a Kelson somewhere, but want to put him in spiffier clothing.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:13:41 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yes but i liked the one without so many shadows
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:13:51 PM EST] <The_Bee> oh yes, brown hair, not black
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:13:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I liked that second one best.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:14:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> https://flic.kr/p/2n3u3Uo This one?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:15:00 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yes
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:15:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> KK, we've decide we now sympathize with the ladies in Coroth who were drooling all over Duncan.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:15:29 PM EST] <DesertRose> Poor Duncan, having to beat them off with a stick.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:15:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is that what priests wear in Gwynedd?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:15:39 PM EST] <KK> Yes, he's very droolworthy.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:15:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> Father What-A-Waste.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:15:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> DR, LOL! 🙂
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:16:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> 😄
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:16:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> (joke I read in a memoir by a Catholic woman; the line was something like, "into every young Catholic girl's life comes a priest who is entirely too handsome to be sworn to celibacy. Father What-A-Waste."
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:16:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> He came out surprisingly well. When I did the face merge, the resulting face looked better than the original version I used.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:17:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> If my cousin hadn't changed his mind about becoming a priest and decided he'd rather get married and have a family, he probably would have been one.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:17:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> KK, what I'm doing is finding pictures with the right clothing on the internet, sometimes a suitable background, and then creating faces for the characters, and using various apps to merge the elements together.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:17:41 PM EST] <The_Bee> The lighting is different on the two.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:17:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Sometimes I get good results, sometimes not. It's very unpredictable.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:17:55 PM EST] <KK> Interesting, Evie.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:18:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> My first attempt to dress Duncan as a medieval bishop resulted in him looking like a conehead. LOL!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:19:04 PM EST] <KK> Oh, other interesting news: I have a guy and his helper coming on Friday to hopefully finish clearing the old house so it can be photographed and listed.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:19:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh yay!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:19:29 PM EST] <KK> This will be a great relief to my stress levels of the past 3 years.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:19:30 PM EST] <The_Bee> good news!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:19:34 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> A big step forward for you
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:20:16 PM EST] <The_Bee> 3 years.  That long?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:20:20 PM EST] <KK> It will be 3 years on the 25th since Scott passed, and he'd been in hospital for 5 weeks before that.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:20:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Oh, good!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:20:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Wow, 3 years! It doesn't seem that long ago.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:21:02 PM EST] <DesertRose> [link to photo of DR's cousin redacted for privacy]
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:21:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Nice pic
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:21:17 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> ool
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:21:30 PM EST] <KK> Handsome guy.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:22:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> KK, I might have deftly inserted myself into your Deryniverse, just so I can be closer to Duncan.... 😂 😅 https://flic.kr/p/2n3ekSC
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:22:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> He looks very like our grandfather, except with lighter coloring.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:22:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL, Evie, what else is new? :P
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:22:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello everyone
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:22:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> innocent whistling
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:22:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:22:51 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:22:55 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Shiral. I tink cat has been found.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:22:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hello Shiral
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:22:56 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> i Shiral
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:23:03 PM EST] <KK> think
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:23:35 PM EST] <The_Bee> HI Shiral
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:23:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> We will need cat pics once you have one and she (or he) is home.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:23:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh We've Achieved Cat?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:24:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Or rather, YOU have Achieved Cat?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:24:24 PM EST] <The_Bee> at least one. maybe two
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:24:37 PM EST] <KK> I met her yesterday; probably will take her, and may take a second one from same rescue.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:24:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Glad you're going to be able to move ahead on completing getting your former abode on the list
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:24:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Pretty cat? Sweet, friendly cat?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:24:56 PM EST] <KK> Yes! Get that house sold!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:25:08 PM EST] <KK> Sweet, friendly, cuddly, lap cat.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:25:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The best sort of cat!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:25:17 PM EST] <KK> Grey tiger.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:25:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> gray tabby
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:25:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> oops tiger
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:25:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri and I approve. =o)
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:25:38 PM EST] <KK> Present name is Daphne.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:26:28 PM EST] <KK> There are some others there that are also interesting. I need to see what the keepers think would be a good match.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:26:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm sure getting the house sold will help to focus your mind where we the fans would have it focused. 😉
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:26:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> "In Greek Baby Names the meaning of the name Daphne is: Bay tree, or laurel tree. The Greek mythological nymph Daphne was rescued from the unwanted attentions of the god Apollo by being turned into a laurel bush. " Apparently it can also mean "Victory" in Hebrew.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:27:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My mother had a daphne bush at our old house. Every February, the daphne flowers smelled absolutely heavenly
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:28:55 PM EST] <KK> I'll have to check those out. Might want to plant one here. In the meantime, I'm searching for a small enough phillips screwdriver to get the box with Oswald's ashes open. And Warner's. I want to scatter them in the garden at the old house, where they used to love to roam.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:29:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> The "victory" meaning would be a nice continuity from Nicholas-kitty (Nicholas means "victory" in Greek).
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:29:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I've had to give up on growing daphne. I just don't have the right place for them, and they're finicky to get started.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:29:43 PM EST] <KK> But this kitty will not be allowed outside, unless she takes to a harness.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:30:10 PM EST] <The_Bee> Indoor cats are safer.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:30:11 PM EST] <KK> What do daphne bushes like and not like?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:30:27 PM EST] <KK> And what do the flowers look like?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:31:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> They like shade to filtered sunlight. The flowers grow in little clusters and they are small, pale pink that's kind of cross shaped. The leaves are deep green with a pale green edge
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:32:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'll see if I can find a picture.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:32:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> What climate?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:32:49 PM EST] <KK> I'll have to look them up, and see if they'd thrive in our climate here. We had 2-3 inches of snow today. And this was our 4th big snow of the season.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:32:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> If you have a large enough yard, there are outdoor cat enclosures so that kitties can get some outdoor time if they like that sort of thing, yet they're safe from traffic and predators.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:33:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Or they have the sort that can attach to the outside of a window, for use on warm days.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:33:29 PM EST] <KK> I know about catios. But I don't know how I'd make that work, with Mr. Dog here.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:33:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> https://www.jacksonandperkins.com/daphne-aureo-marginata-pink-flower/p/27399/?2&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3v6B7vj99QIVwwN9Ch3S5gCGEAQYBCABEgKQuvD_BwE
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:35:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I want to use this Dover Castle throne room background to do a character portrait for Kelson, once I have a suitable image for him: https://flic.kr/p/2n3iEcr
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:35:11 PM EST] <KK> Sounds promising, Shiral. I'll check them out at local landscapers.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:36:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> How do you take care of a Daphne plant?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:36:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Image result for winter daphne plant care
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:36:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Daphnes prefer well-drained soil with plenty of compost and a slightly acidic soil pH. Daphne shrubs thrive in moist soil. To keep the soil around them moist in summer (and to keep the roots cool), apply a three-inch layer of mulch.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:37:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I wish you better luck than I had, KK. Daphne can be dicey to get well established.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:37:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> They're not poisonous to cats, are they?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:38:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That I don't know. We had indoor/outdoor cats when I was growing up, but they never seemed at all interested in the Daphne bushes
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:38:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> good question
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:38:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But definitely something to check on. But KK's future cat(s) sound like they'll be indoors
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:39:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Daphnes are not house plants
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:39:27 PM EST] <The_Bee> Cats like plants they can climb.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:40:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My mother brought be a beautiful bouquet of pink tulips for my party a week ago. Dmitri promptly beheaded two of them
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:40:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> The cat she is thinking of adopting is named Daphne. Please do not apply mulch to her. 😄
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:40:40 PM EST] <KK> Deer used to behead my few tulips at the old house.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:40:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Or plant her!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:41:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I joke that Tulips bring out Dmitri's inner Henry VIII.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:41:47 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:42:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I doubt he's the reincarnation of Great Harry, but we can't be absolutely certain. 😉
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:42:41 PM EST] <KK> Deer would also eat the hostas.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:43:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I read that as "Deer would also eat the hotels," and was mightily confused for a sec there.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:43:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> If you planted a special deer garden, would they leave your tulips and hostas alone?
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:44:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> puts out a pot of tea, and some heart shaped shortbread cookies
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:44:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> That's what I get for popping back and forth across windows
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:44:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Now that would be a hungry deer
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:45:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Now I read that as you pooping back and forth across the windows and was mightily confused...
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:45:58 PM EST] <DesertRose> Please do not poop in the chat room. :P
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:46:06 PM EST] <KK> LOL. I like deer, but would never plant a garden for them.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:46:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, after all we have a nice little garderobe for use when necessary!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:47:04 PM EST] <KK> Plus, those tulips and hostas will not belong to me for much longer--I hope.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:47:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> We have a small herd of five deer who like to wander through my yard and up and down the neighborhood.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:47:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I hope someone falls in love with Edge Hill promptly and takes it off your hands, KK
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:47:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> They don't need encouragement to visit. Drives home at night in the fog are an adventure.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:48:00 PM EST] <KK> I have the occasional deer here at the new house, usually just beyond the back fence, though they have been known to jump the fence and charge through the yard itself.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:48:05 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've seen skunks and rabbits, nothing larger.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:48:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> All I have growing are flowers and a little lemon tree. But I'm in too urban a neighborhood for deer
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:48:13 PM EST] <KK> Yes, Shiral!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:49:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Or that we could pop it over to Silicon Valley where it would probably sell in a weekend
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:49:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> And for at least twice the price it'll bring in the Shenandoah.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:50:36 PM EST] <DesertRose> Probably more than that.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:50:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yeah. Supply can't meet demand, out here. And there are people with crazy budgets willing to pay crazy prices. I'm really glad I'm not trying to buy a place right now!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:51:16 PM EST] <KK> Glad I found my new house before prices went through the roof.
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:51:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> I bet, KK!
[Sunday, February 13, 2022] [7:51:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm really glad of that too, KK

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
