[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi KK
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi KK
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI KK
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo KK! 🙂
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi KK
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:14 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Have you had an evaluation by a physical therapist? Sometimes they have good suggestions to help. Doctors focus on surgery and drugs but a good PT often has better ideas.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> How's things for you, KK?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:45 PM EDT] <KK> How is everyone tonight?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:10:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> fat-n-sassy! 🙂
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:11:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Doing OK. You?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:11:03 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> OK here
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:11:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> pretty goodhere
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:11:12 PM EDT] <KK> I'm all in favor of PT.  Helped me a lot.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:11:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I actually had (yet another) PT evaluation last week; the last several times I've tried doing any PT for the spine, I've had some unpleasant side effects. (Vertigo in one case and a 38-hour migraine in the other).
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:11:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> ␝is great␝
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:11:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> OUCH!

[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:13:09 PM EDT] <KK> You deserve dinner.  Yesterday was probably a little hectic.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:13:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Congratulations!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:13:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How was the weather on the big day?

[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:14:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> the weather was perfect. The Lord came through

[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:14:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Do you have a doppelganger, KK?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:14:43 PM EDT] <KK> Sorry, had a hiccup there.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:14:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Sorry, keyboard battery died so I'm typing from the touchscreen now.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:15:02 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Always nice to have good weather for a wedding!!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:15:29 PM EDT] <KK> Was weather good?  Couldn't tell, from pic in the tower.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:15:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> it was a beautiful day weather wise
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:15:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> bynw said perfect
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:16:00 PM EDT] <KK> Pretty cake, too.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:16:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> A perfect fall day? Oct 14 is my DD2's anniversary and they had a perfect fall day for their wedding. But you just never know in Oct
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:16:30 PM EDT] <KK> And pretty bride and handsome groom, of course!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:16:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Bynw, y ou need to post pics to the forum
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:16:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Adsolutely
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:16:57 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> My niece got married in Oct a few years ago and it was sweltering here.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:17:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> once i get the professional photos i'll post to the forum as well as facebook
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:17:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My grandparents were married in October.  They're no longer available to report on the weather.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:17:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> So happy for you and Kelly
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:17:53 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I have to see the pictures! Bynw if you don't mind, could you email me the FB name?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:18:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Weren't autumn weddings common for country folk? after the harvest
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:18:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I think so
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:18:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> OK I can wait, but really want to see them!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:18:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I waxed rhapsodic over Kelly's dress/blouse earlier. I highly approve of purple almost everywhere except prose. 😂
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:19:02 PM EDT] <KK> October is also a good month to be born, even if in a hurricane.  On Tuesday, a friend is taking me to the local safari park, where we'll feed animals from buckets of feed in the car, then go through their zoo.  And lunch afterward at a great German restaurant!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:19:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> right now i only have my mobile so posting can be problematic
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:19:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Tuesday's your birthday?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:19:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Happy birthday two days early, KK!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:19:41 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That sounds like fun, KK
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:19:44 PM EDT] <KK> Thank you!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:19:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Happy early birthday, KK!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:19:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Very Happy Birthday to KK
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:19:54 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, very Happy Birthday!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:20:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> ␝sets out magic cake and ice cream on the tea table.␝
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:20:36 PM EDT] <KK> It should be fun, as long as we don't get rained out.  Forecast is ok, though.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:20:58 PM EDT] * The_Bee lights the candles on the cake
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:22:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello all

[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:23:50 PM EDT] <KK> Thanks!  Gong on a safari on the actual day.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:23:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oo pretty. Congratulations, to you and Kelly!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:23:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> please share that to the IRC channel
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:24:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Nice, bynw!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:24:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A Safari??
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:24:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:24:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DR
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:24:21 PM EDT] <KK> Local safari park.  It's supposed to be pretty good.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:24:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Ah, I was wondering if there were elephants and giraffes loose in Virginia
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:24:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Beware of stenrects!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:24:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Happy birthday, KK. Sounds like you have a fun day planned
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:25:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:25:05 PM EDT] <KK> Apparently so, at least in their area.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:25:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DFK
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:25:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> souonds like a great birthday to me
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:25:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hope the rain holds off until you've had your Safari
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:25:34 PM EDT] <KK> More interesting than the past few.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:25:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My goodness, yes
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:27:03 PM EDT] <[chris]> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/ITdimNMf/1665962819.JPG
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:27:35 PM EDT] <[chris]> that's the view from the restaurant where we are having dinner
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:27:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Looks like a lovely setting for dinner for two lovebirds
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:27:55 PM EDT] <KK> Oooh, that's nice.  Where is it?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:28:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> very serene scene
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:28:35 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Very nice, Bynw
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:28:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> brb, checking on my food
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:29:09 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Um, are you supposed to be chatting at dinner? :b
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:29:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> that's east okoboji lake
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:29:24 PM EDT] <KK> I take it this is a lake.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:29:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi everyone!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:29:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI Jerusha
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:29:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo Jerusha
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:29:46 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:29:47 PM EDT] <KK> Okoboji?  Wow, quite a lake!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:29:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:29:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:30:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> we are right where east and west okoboji lakes meet
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:31:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> the iowa great lakes
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:31:16 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Seafood restaurant?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:31:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Do you know what language the name comes from?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:31:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> they have it but we didn't order it
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:32:01 PM EDT] <KK> Didn't know that Iowa pasticularly had lakes--but then, I've never been to your state.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:32:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> BRB Quanah wants out
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:32:26 PM EDT] <KK> What're you having for dinner?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:32:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not a seafood fan, Bynw?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:32:57 PM EDT] <KK> Are fish from a freshwater lake still seafood?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:33:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well...lake food, maybe? 😉
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:33:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> neither of us are
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:33:37 PM EDT] <KK> So you're having steak?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:33:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> not tonight
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:33:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Mmmmmm, steak...
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:33:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> If not steak, then???
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:34:03 PM EDT] <KK> Lamb?  Veal?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:34:13 PM EDT] <KK> Chicken?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:34:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hamster?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:34:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> just burger and fries for me and kelly had some chili waffle fries
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:34:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> steamed hams?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:34:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> ␝has popcorn in the microwave.␝
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:34:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We used to eat fish we caught in Lake Fairlee, Vermont, where we have a cottage.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:34:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝just finished some vanilla yogurt␝
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:34:50 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, so this is not a festive meal, other than the occasion and the company.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:35:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Simple can be good
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:35:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> back
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:35:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> WB Evie
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:36:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <bynw> dakota sioux for the language. means great waters
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:36:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Ah, thanks
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:36:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Makes sense
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:37:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A good hamburger is always a pleasure as far as I'm concerned
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:37:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> especially with cheese
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:37:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Must be a cheeseburger
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:37:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> yup!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:37:54 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hard to find good hamburgers nowadays.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:38:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It was why I was amused by the Golden Lion in your Story, Evie
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:38:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Quite a few bodies of water were named "great" by those who lived near them.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:38:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Which story was that Shiral?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:39:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Balance of Power
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:39:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The Balance of Power one with Rhemuth Castle getting blown up, at least partially
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:39:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Even Haldanes enjoy a hamburger sometimes!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:39:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> set in modern times?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:39:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> My parents were going to take me to a nice restaurant when I turned 16, but I wanted a cheeseburger. My mom pretended to get mad about it and stayed home while dad took me to get one, but really she stayed home because she was throwing me an after-dinner surprise party and had to be there to let the guests in.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:39:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> How could they not/
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:40:11 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> What fun, Evie!!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:41:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I liked the Queen's argument that the Gold Lion referred to in the burger joint's name was obviously a nod to her Haldane Lion, so of course she needed to stop to get a burger. 😉
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:41:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> obviously 🙂
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:41:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> But really, is an excuse needed? 😄
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:41:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> So long as the lion burger was beef and not lion!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:42:04 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Lunch with my sisters last March was the first birthday celebration I've had in a while.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:42:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL! I suspect lions are not on the menu even in Modern Gwynedd. 😄
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:42:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I'm glad you had that one,
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:42:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "Wait, there is a hair in my burger!"
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:42:51 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Lions probably aren't very tasty.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:43:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Carnivores usually aren't
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:44:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It was the mane meal.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:44:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Ouch!!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:44:22 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oooh so bad, Jerusha!!!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:44:24 PM EDT] <KK> Better than starving, but no, herbivores taste better.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:44:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Where is that mackerel launcher? We need to wheel it out of storage!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:44:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I should be sorry...
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:44:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> but not very
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:44:45 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> but you're not?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:44:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝launches the goldfish crackers at Jerusha␝
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:44:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> but you are not. Too good to pass up
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:45:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Well, maybe....
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:45:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> We need to find that maceral launcher
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:45:27 PM EDT] <KK> Launching goldfish crackers is nicer than mackerels.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:45:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> certainly less....smelly!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:45:41 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Would a trebuchet do?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:45:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I like the goldfish, though
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:46:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Use them on salads
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:46:12 PM EDT] <KK> Goldfish crackers are tasty.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:46:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh yeah
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:46:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Cool idea, fish swimming in your salad
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:46:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Or put them in tomato soup
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:46:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> or chedder chowder
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:46:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I can't have goldfish crackers at home--I eat them up too fast
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:46:57 PM EDT] <KK> I believe Jemler of happy memory used to use a trebuchet.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:47:13 PM EDT] <KK> Excellent in tomato soup!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:47:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> trebuchets in soup?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:47:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Trebuchets are excellent in tomato soup? 😉
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:47:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> mini trebuchet crackers, yes. 😉
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:47:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Only if you want to make a BIG mess
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:48:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Like Cheez It's but cuter.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:48:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, if you want tomato soup all over the dining room, maybe
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:48:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Cheese Trebouchet, when you want to launch your lunch
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:49:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Jerusha is on a roll tonight
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:49:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> 😄
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:49:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Or at least on a cracker
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:50:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> A cheese cracker
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:50:04 PM EDT] <The_Bee> on a petard?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:50:39 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> What is a petard anyway?
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:50:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> a firecracker
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:50:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Explosives
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:51:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> or a small explosive
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:51:06 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I've always heard "hoist by his own petard"
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:51:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> It Means "blown up by your own bomb."
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:51:33 PM EDT] <KK> Related to firing cannons and such.  I want to say it's what you use to light the fuse.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:51:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_with_his_own_petard
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:51:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It sounds like a tremendous kick in the pants...
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:52:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> From Hamlet, metaphor is of an ordnance person being blown up with the explosives they set.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:52:04 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I always thought it must be some kind of rope or tie
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:52:41 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds like it's somewhat like plastic explosives used to blow a door or safe or the like.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:52:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Thanks, Evie
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:53:32 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It was the hoist that confused me
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:53:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We had a story in high-school French, IIRC, someone wanted crackers in a restaurant, so he looked up "cracker" and ordered a petard.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:54:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:54:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Flambe lunch
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:54:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I don't think they had plastic explosives in Shakespeare's time.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:55:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Likely gunpowder
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [7:55:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I need to sign off now as i watch a Perry Mason movie with my DH that comes on a 8. Hope everyone has a great week. Again, a very happy birthday KK and congrats to bynw and Kelly.

[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [8:00:14 PM EDT] <KK> On that note, I think I'm going to fold up my tent like an Arab and silently steal away.  Have a good week, all of you.
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [8:00:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I just finished some Chicken Tikka Masala on rice
[Sunday, October 16, 2022] [8:00:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> For anyone who couldn't see it, I posted a gif of Snoopy happy-dancing.

"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.)
