[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:00 PM EDT] Join KK has joined this channel.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:10 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I think Laurna does ballroom dancing
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi KK
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Evie has pneumonia and is confined to bed for a few days.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:30 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:33 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Evie.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Until Wednesday
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:04:43 PM EDT] <KK> And Bee, and Bynw
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:05:04 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, dear. Not from Covid, I hope.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:05:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How was your week, KK?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:05:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Bynw. Does everyone know that he is considering a new ggame?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:05:55 PM EDT] <KK> Not bad. Had a nice dinner out with 3 of my friends on Friday night, and had the leftover half last night. Lamb chops and cous cous. Yum!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:06:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Covid test was neg but managed to get walking pneumonia so no walking for a bit
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:06:30 PM EDT] * The_Bee loves lamb shanks.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:06:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello all
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:06:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> No, DH had Covid earlier in the week, but he's totally over it now. I went to get tested yesterday after having similar symptoms for a few days, but mine isn't Covid, it's walking pneumonia.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:06:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:07:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My sister had walking pneumonia when we were kids.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:07:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:07:25 PM EDT] <KK> I wonder how you got it.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:07:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My brother and SIL shared a case of COVID for their 32nd Wedding anniversary last week
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:07:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi KK, Shiral, DFK, Evie, and all
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:07:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Bummer!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:07:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi DR
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:07:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝sets up a Sundae bar␝
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:08:02 PM EDT] <KK> Of course, if DH had Covid, he might have also had pneumonia, and you could have caught it. Summer is not usually associated with pneumonia.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:08:21 PM EDT] * The_Bee adds fudge sauce, honey and maple syrup to the sundae bar.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:08:24 PM EDT] <bynw> hi DFK, Shiral, and others
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:08:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I work next door to a clinic. We catch everything. It's a minor miracle that Covid is one of the few things I haven't caught.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:09:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Actually it happens more often than you might think. Bacteria and viruses don't take the summer off
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:09:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It's technically a mycoplasma infection that causes the pneumonia. You can catch it any time of the year. I tend to get one every few years.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:10:06 PM EDT] <KK> What fun. Not.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:11:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> @KK How are the box wars going. Is victory near?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:11:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yeah. After I had a really bad case one year, I've learned to go straight to the doctor if I have any respiratory symptoms that last more than a day or two, especially if there's a dry cough.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:12:30 PM EDT] <KK> Progress is progressing. I've devised a new plan involving a chair that I can move to where the boxes are, and go through them that way.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:13:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Stand on the chair?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:13:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Or just roll over to them rather than lifting and moving
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:14:03 PM EDT] <KK> No, sit on the chair. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to stand for long periods, so a chair is a big help.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:14:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I would think it's to sit on where the boxes are, rather than having to stand while unpacking or having to move boxes to where you can sit.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:15:02 PM EDT] <KK> Exactly.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:15:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Being comfortable is a big help when doing a tedious job
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:15:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm not a fan of long standing either.  Arthritis in my case.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:15:47 PM EDT] <KK> And I've reralized there are a lot of empty boxes that need to be moved to one place and broken down. That will make a big difference, if mostly psychologically.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:15:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I hope your chair has wheels, KK.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:15:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or at least moderately comfortable. Still a certain amount of leaning and lifting
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:16:49 PM EDT] <KK> No, but it's a folding chair, so it isn't heavy to move. Don't want to move my desk chair out there. Besides, it doesn't roll well on carpet.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:16:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I used to have a neighbor who sold office furniture. He gave me two rolling office chair which are really helpful
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:17:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Maybe a friend can help break down boxes and take them away
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:17:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've had recent experience breaking down boxes.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:18:47 PM EDT] <KK> I'll be ready for a trip to the landfill, once the boxes are diminished. Have lots of other paper and cardboard accumulating.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:19:22 PM EDT] <KK> Breaking down boxes isnt a problem. I have a sharp box-cutter that lives by the front door.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:19:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Won't they recycle?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:19:36 PM EDT] <The_Bee> any recycling centers near you?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:20:18 PM EDT] <KK> I'd rather take them to the recycle at the landfill, where I can be sure that's what will happen to them. It isn't that far to the landfill, and the outing once in a while is pleasant.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:20:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ah, ok
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:20:54 PM EDT] <KK> I can even stop for a Wendy's Frosty on the way home.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:21:04 PM EDT] <The_Bee> YUM!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:21:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Have you tried the new strawberry one?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:21:48 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, it was ok, but I prefer the chocolate one.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:22:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> This is definitely the time of year for a frosty
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:22:27 PM EDT] <KK> Vanilla is also good, but they don't have that when they have the strawberry. I guess there are only 2 machines.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:24:36 PM EDT] <KK> Anybody else gearing up for the new Game of Thrones prequel that starts tonight?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:25:04 PM EDT] * The_Bee wants a juice bar where she can choose what combination of fruits she wants.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:25:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> not a GoT fan.  I don't get HBO.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:26:05 PM EDT] <KK> I resubscribed so I cold watch it. Big GOT fan.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:26:13 PM EDT] <KK> could watch
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:26:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm currently working on the third and final season of A Discovery of Witches.  It's temporarily free.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:29:07 PM EDT] <KK> I watched the first few episodes, but got side-tracked by something I liked better. I've read all the books, but the first few episodes weren't that captivating, at least for me.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:29:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> different tastes
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:29:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm going to bow out. Gonna take my dishes back to the kitchen and then get more rest.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:30:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> See y'all later
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:30:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hope you will soon be better.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:30:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝is on phone␝
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:30:25 PM EDT] <KK> Heal, Evie!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:30:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Thanks! Me too!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:30:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Rest well, Evie.  good-health woodgies to you
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:30:41 PM EDT] <bynw> I am ready for House of the Dragon tonight KK
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:30:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> feel better, Evie
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:31:37 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, so am I. Though the Tudor headdress on one of the characters in the trailers threw me for a loop. It will be interesting to see whether that works in the context of the new universe.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:31:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> If you can send me Duncan, KK, that would be great. For once he's taken off instead of hanging out inside my head. 😂
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:32:11 PM EDT] <KK> I'll see if I can scare him up. :-)
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:32:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> 😁
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:32:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh DUNCAN!!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:32:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Where are you?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:32:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Goodnight
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:32:54 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:33:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> You need an herbalist not a healer. Eirian wishes she could help but is just starting her training.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:33:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Nite Evie
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:33:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I've been thinking of Duncan, as I had a problem toenail this week. Reminded me of Duncan losing all his toenails. That had to have hurt
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:34:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Both toenails and fingernails. Major pain.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:34:31 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, yes. I watch some of those podiatrist shows and cringe when I see them prying off toenails.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:35:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I just had a little corner of a nail break off, but the sore place makes it hard to wear any shoes, which I had to do yesterday at work. And of course, I managed to stub that toe about 10 different times, yesterday
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:35:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Does Healing work against diseases, or just injuries?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:35:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Podiatrist shows? Are you looking for new torture methods?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:35:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> So...did that give you the idea to make Gorony act like a podiatrist?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:35:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Healing owrks only for injries and wounds Ithink
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:36:04 PM EDT] <KK> No, just fascinated by medical procedures and how they fix things. I'm also a Dr Pimple Popper fan.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:36:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But I'm sure Healers have a nice big pharmacy for other illnesses
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:36:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Wow, you're a braver woman that I am, KK
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:36:39 PM EDT] <KK> They weren't televising such things when I was developing Gorony and co.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:37:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> If Gorony were around now, he'd probably be an inept dentist
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:37:33 PM EDT] <KK> Remeber, I dissected a cadaver in medical school.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:37:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> IIRC, Alyce's brother died of something that sounded like appendicitis.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:37:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> A team of healer and herbalist sounds like a good idea
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:38:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I knew I wasn't cut out for medical school during the dissection phase of high school biology
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:38:18 PM EDT] <KK> Yep. I checked my description with my local friendly GP in Ireland. He was thrilled to be in on the creation process.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:38:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> That would be an interesting question to ask...
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:39:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> In my anatomy class, we had to dissect cats! The worst thing, would turn you off medicine right there.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:39:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝runs and hides head under a pillow␝
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:39:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> amoebas were my downfall.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:40:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> How would you dissect an amoeba?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:40:25 PM EDT] <KK> We did cats too, in comparative anatomy as undergrad. I didn't like it, but I made sure to get a cat that wasn't the same color as any of our cats at the time.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:40:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I didn't; I just let it dry up.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:41:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Now students do dissections virtually. Mcuh better
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:41:33 PM EDT] <KK> Of course, one of the first things we had to was to skin the cat, but that still left fur on the head.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:41:49 PM EDT] <KK> Probably true, especially at that level.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:42:08 PM EDT] Join Jerusha (Jerusha@owirc-bfp.bqg.105.209.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:42:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:42:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:42:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> No more skinning cats talk please!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:42:28 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Jerusha.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:42:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:42:52 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!  I tried to get into discord, but it would not let me in
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:42:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Or dissecting except virtually
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:43:30 PM EDT] <KK> No. Especially since one I skinned was the same color as Daphne. Though of course, she wasn't even a figment of my imagination in those days.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:43:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> BRB
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:44:10 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Did anyone else have problems with Discord?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:44:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm DEFINITELY not a candidate for med school, or Veterinary school
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:45:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Even Dmitri has left the room!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:45:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> smart cat!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:46:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He had to put in his two cents when I was talking to my brother a few minutes ago, but then took off
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:46:16 PM EDT] <KK> Daphne came in when I opened the office door, but then left. Not sure where she is right now.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:46:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> not in her usual place?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:47:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> All I have to do to summon Tatiana is watch a video with lots of mewing kittens
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:47:44 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Frustrated mother cat?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:47:47 PM EDT] <KK> Nope.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:48:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Does she want to mother them or attack them?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:48:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I don't think so. SHe was spayed before her first heat
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:48:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Maybe just keeping an eye on the competition
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:48:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Not sure. But she's always interested
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:49:12 PM EDT] <bynw> bbiab
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:49:35 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Speaking in tongues?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:50:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo, just poking my head in to say hi.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:50:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My brother's last remaining cat would definitely go after an intruder cat.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:50:13 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:51:03 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Nezz. Got you email and will work on that leter this week. Sounds like a Good Thing.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:51:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> bbiab=be back in a bit
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:51:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:51:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Nezz
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:51:34 PM EDT] <Jerusha> A, it all becomes clear
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:52:28 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, Daphne has just made her presence known, emerging from a spot where I'd not seen her before.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:52:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> She likes to keep you guessing
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:52:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> a new hideout?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:53:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys gets distressed about kitten noise. Since she was two years old when I adopted her and got her spayed, she certainly had a few litters of kittens, and I think her brain hasn't got the memo that she's spayed and no longer needs to take care of kittens.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:54:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> aww, poor Carys
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:54:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> So I listen to kitten videos on my phone (where the audio goes to my Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids) or when I'm not at home.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:54:42 PM EDT] <KK> But lotsa of cats like to take care of kittens, both male and female, spayed and neutered.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:54:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, but she gets UPSET about it.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:55:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If she were just curious, I wouldn't worry.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:55:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I remember our family cat calling for her kittens after they'd gone to their forever homes.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:55:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Merlin the Manx Menace, of all cats, likes kittens and younger cats. He's a jerk to most humans, but younger cats can do anything and he'll just put up with it.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:56:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Poor mama
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:56:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have a funny pic of KitKat (one of the Pod-Child's foster fails) pinning Merlin down and grooming him and Merlin's just like, okay, whatever.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:56:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> we kept one kitten, the one Mom fed with a doll's baby bottle.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:57:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Doubly hilarious because it'd take three of KitKat to make one Merlin; Kit is lean and sleek, and Merlin is a giant monster mog.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:57:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> My poor Shelly, two of her kittens stayed in her space and never did find their own homes, and they drove her nuts.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [7:58:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My stepdad can probably commiserate with Shelly about kids never really leaving home. (I mean, I have my own place, but I've bounced back to the family homestead a time or two, and the Pod-Child has finally just given up and decided to be a travel nurse based here, so he can't get her out of the house either.)
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:02:10 PM EDT] <KK> Fortunately, Cameron and Anna are firmly ensconced in Oklahoma, and her father is there, if they ever needed a parachute.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:02:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The doll-bottle feeding was because Mama Tinker-Bell had one kitten, then went off and forgot about her.  The next day, she heard her lonely kitten, said "Omigosh I forgot,' and had 4 more.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:03:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Lol
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:04:02 PM EDT] <KK> lol
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:04:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> They were born in Mom's bedroom closet.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:04:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Shelly plopped right down in the middle of my living room to have her babies.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:05:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> She knew she didn't know what she was doing.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:05:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Tink's first litter was ne dead and one living.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:05:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> one
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:06:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Awwww
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:06:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> 😦
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:07:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Where is everyone this evening? It's so quiet...
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:08:31 PM EDT] <KK> Middle of August. Everyone is winding down from summer?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:09:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> She tried to stuff the living kitten into our rag drawer.  Mom fixed up a cardboard box with rags and closed the drawer.  Tink took the kitten out of the box and tried to stuff it through the drawer's crack.  We gave in.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:09:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh probably... it's gorgeous here today. We're chilling outside.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:09:06 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Watching hummingbird wars
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:09:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> no nuclear weapons, I trust.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:10:17 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Only because they haven't thought of it
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:10:50 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Eight birds at our feeder at last count.  Hard to tell, when they are all over the place
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:10:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I thought bird-fights came during mating season.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:11:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Jerusha, you're not on Discord! 'Sup with that?
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:11:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I have hardly seen any hummingbirds around my feeder this year.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:11:28 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Discord would not let me in.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:11:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Bummer
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:12:00 PM EDT] <Jerusha> I have no idea why.  Came up with a weird error screen
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:12:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> BRB
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:12:17 PM EDT] <KK> I think I'm going to sign off for tonight. Tummy is saying dinnertime.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:12:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Night, KK. Good luck with the boxes, and enjoy HOuse of the Dragons
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:12:39 PM EDT] <Jerusha> These seem to all be females and immature babies.  that does not mean they are shy!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:12:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Goodnight and take care! Hi yo Daphne!
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:12:54 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:13:01 PM EDT] <Jerusha> Nighters, KK
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:13:02 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters, all.
[Sunday, August 21, 2022] [8:13:13 PM EDT] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: https://mibbit.com Online IRC Client).
"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.)
