[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:05:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> Vulcan as in Spock, or Vulcan as in Roman god of the forge?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:05:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo KK
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:06:05 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi KK!

[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:06:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Vulcan the God of the Forge. Birmingham is an iron mining and foundry city, or at least it was historically.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:06:17 PM EST] <KK> How's everybody? A good week?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:06:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi, KK! Pretty good, yes.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:06:45 PM EST] <The_Bee> pretty good. much rain
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:06:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Had a nice visit with DS the day after his birthday.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:07:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Pretty not so bad now that the coughing is not painful anymore. 🙂
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:07:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Just started raining here this last hour
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:07:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> And also w/ my MIL the day of hers.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:07:28 PM EST] <KK> Still not a single snowflake here.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:07:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It's raining here also, but at least my heater is working again.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:07:47 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yay for heat
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:07:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Poor Nezz get over that darn cough
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:07:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I've got a few snowflakes here right now, I'll send you a few of them.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:08:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Pretty Nezz
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:08:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Working on it Laurna, I'm on antibiotics. 🙂
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:08:27 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hope you beat it soon
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:08:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> DR said she is getting over hers too finally
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:08:39 PM EST] <The_Bee> Memento, I've been wondering; Since you're from quebec, are you familiar with Louise Penny's novels?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:08:46 PM EST] <KK> Still healthy here.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:08:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Yeah, DR said she finally tested negative. 🙂
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:09:07 PM EST] <[chris]> hi kk
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:09:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello Memento
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:09:31 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> But DR still lacking in the energy department. Glad she is finally negative
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:10:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> DFK are you writing a Fiona Scene yet?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:10:20 PM EST] <KK> Everybody, get healthy!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:10:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Washburn is inquiring
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:11:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> KK, how's everything going for you? Finally found your office?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:11:57 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> @Laurna, I have a deadline I have to meet by Tues at 2PM. The other person who is supposed to be helping not doing so great so it may be Tues evening before I can get back to Fiona. I have ideas just no tine to sit and write at this point.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:12:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Yikes. That is more important. Fiona has waited this long so what is a little more
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:12:45 PM EST] <The_Bee> Washburn will have to wait.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:13:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> He has gotten good at that
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:13:01 PM EST] <KK> Office is not found yet, but I've made some major progress on the living room--but also brought in a couple of boxes from LR to office. It'll sort itself out--hopefully sooner rather than later.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:13:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> Has Daphne found new hidey-holes?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:13:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> KK what is the rush. OH wait, we like stories, So maybe just a little nudge.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:11 PM EST] <KK> Daphne gets into whatever box is open.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> My sister moved into their new home four days ago, they say they can not find anything with all the boxs about.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello everyone
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello Shiral
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:47 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:48 PM EST] <KK> Pulls things out if she can. This morning, there was a stuffed mouse toy in one of my shoes: breakfast intended, I think.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And Laurna, those Canadian backsides would be covered in flannel
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:58 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha, Shiral
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:15:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> and Hi Shiral!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:16:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> ROFL
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:16:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Glad it was JUST a toy mouse, KK
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:16:38 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> t least it was a stuffed mouse not the real thing
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:16:41 PM EST] <KK> I've seen no mice here, unlike the old house.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:16:42 PM EST] <Laurna> KK these are the Canadian backsides.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:16:46 PM EST] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/mPgjn6lG/image.png
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:16:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Jerusha and Shiral
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:16:54 PM EST] <Laurna> I just can not stop laughing
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:16:54 PM EST] <[chris]> hi jerusha and shiral
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:17:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝sets chatroom tea table with tea and a fresh baked poundcake␝
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:17:17 PM EST] <KK> I like the backsides!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:17:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> They seem to have their boots on
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:17:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> ooooh, fresh baked poundcake!!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:17:32 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yummy
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:17:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Yumm
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:17:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> ␝adds triple chocolate cookies␝
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:17:47 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> poundcake, not backsides
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:17:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:17:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Slice the cake, and it turns into your favorite flavor of pound cake
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:18:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Thank you for the clarification, DFK. 😉
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:18:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You could slice backsides, but I would rather not
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:19:39 PM EST] * The_Bee adds mulled cider, with brandy on the side for those who want it.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:19:57 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> That sounds lovely Bee
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:20:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I only use brandy in sauteed mushrooms
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:20:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> might have to try that.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:20:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Makes a mess of my stove, but it is worth it
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:21:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> The only alchol in my house is dad's bottle of Brandy. and I have been wondering how to get rid of it.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:21:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> Mushrooms?  Can you post the recipe?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:21:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> LOTS of mushrooms!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:21:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, I will Bee. Very simple
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:22:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I've got a bottle of rum I'm using to make my own vanilla extract. And a bottle of Everclear to use for barter during the apocolypse.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:22:30 PM EST] <Memento> The_Bee: probably not. The name isnt familiar tho my memory is awfully bad:)
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:22:32 PM EST] <KK> lol
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:22:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Everclear, as in grain alcohol?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:22:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I will happily pass on the apocolypse. the last 3 years have been plenty enought
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:23:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I agree, Laurna
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:23:09 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Soo true
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:23:12 PM EST] <KK> I'll pass, too.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:23:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Jeusha, that's the one.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:23:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Apocalypses are so gloomy
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:24:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> The everclear can also be used as an antiseptic, so many uses. 🙂
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:24:06 PM EST] <KK> Definitely true. Picture Mad Max.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:25:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Old boyfriend used to live above a funeral home. he and other roommates did a punch with grain alcohol and fruit. If the punch didn't kill you, the fruit did the next day
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:26:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> Memento, I urge you to look for her books.  they're excellent, mostly set in Quebec.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:26:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Everclear is wicked.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:26:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> i take it that it is not water.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:26:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes. I'd love to go out to lunch with that detective
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:27:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Gamache, that is
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:27:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Memento, you are in Quebec?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:27:56 PM EST] <[chris]> i had a friend who drank a fifth of everclear in one drink. and is still alive today. never had any wisdom
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:28:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Lucky to be alive
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:28:35 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Alive but in what kind of shape?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:28:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I get silly if I drink one glass of Prosecco
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:28:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And Prosecco tastes much better!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:29:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> Ms. Penny's first book is Still Life. I suggest reading them in order if you can.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:29:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Number of brain cells left is an important number to keep in mind.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:29:13 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yup
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:29:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Prosecco is too sweet for me
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:29:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I feel a certain affection for my gray matter
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:29:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I figure if we're in an apocolypse situation, people can dilute it
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:29:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Right Siral
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:29:49 PM EST] <KK> Proseccco is a poor substitute for Champagne.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:30:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Now champagne is something to enjoy! ( Nods in John Steeds
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:30:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh, I don't know. I've had good and bad versions of both wines. Of course if I drink Champagne, I go for the Veuve
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:30:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> general dirction
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:30:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That goes down VERY easily
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:31:32 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've had some excellent red wine. Cote du Rhone, IIRC.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:31:35 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I had a friend who had to have a brain test with EEG and I don't know what else looking for the source of tremors. The tech told him he couldn't give him anyresults but he could tell him that he has a young brain (he's 82) Great thing to know.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:31:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But it's not an every day thing, given the cost of a bottle
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:32:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> But worth a little splurge from time to time
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:33:01 PM EST] <KK> Scott loved his champagne.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:33:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh definitely. It is a treat
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:33:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Birthdays, anniversaries, just washed the dishes...
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:33:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I love champagne at weddings.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:33:22 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Fianna reds are very good
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:33:52 PM EST] * The_Bee likes Fianna Blues.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:33:56 PM EST] <KK> We went to the Veuve Cliquot caves when we were in France on a Bentley rally. I still have 4 branded flutes from there.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:34:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Jerusha I hope washing dishes happens more often than Anniversaries.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:34:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Just make sure you don't accept flasks of wine from ladies you don't know....
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:34:21 PM EST] <KK> True, Shiral.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:34:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Usually, Laurna
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:34:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Ooooh, I do love a pretty champagne flute...
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:34:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That leads to bad headaches....or worse
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:36:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Perhaps Matyas will discover how to make an effervescent Torenthi wine
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:37:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> dishwashing happens rather more often than anniversaries at my house.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:37:17 PM EST] <KK> I'm not sure they would have discovered the concept.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:37:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> If anyone can it will be Matyas
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:37:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> How did anyone discover how to make effervescent wine?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:37:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> When was champaign invented?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:37:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> KK, if Alaric and Richenda had any pets, what sort do you think they would have? (Dogs? Cats? Both? Which breeds?)
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:38:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> A happy accident, maybe, Nezz?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:38:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Did not Alaric have a wolfhound?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:38:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Richenda will have a comfort spanial and ALaric will have a large sporting dog
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:38:45 PM EST] <The_Bee> both dogs and cats.  mousers and hunters
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:38:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I can't imagine they wouldn't have a good hunting pack at least in Coroth
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:38:51 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> They had both although cats seemed to appear more often in the fanfcic
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:39:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I forgot about the wolfhound, but yes, IIRC he had one as a boy.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:39:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I was thinking Alaric was a wolfhound guy as well
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:39:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Gryphon, if I remember correctly
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:39:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I think Gryphon was my invention, yes.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:39:42 PM EST] <KK> Yep, they had pets, usually with jobs, like hunting dogs. But some had cats.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:39:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And very well done!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:39:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But he hasn't appeared in a Cannon novel
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:40:09 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Alaric was playing with a cat and feeding him morsels at the table in one story
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:40:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And the Morgan children have Stripes the Cat
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:40:28 PM EST] <KK> Modern British royals seem to be heavily partial to dogs. I believe Princess Michael of Kent is the only one I've seen mentioned as having cats, and I think hers are exotics.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:40:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> IIRC Alaric had a dog in one or more of the Childe Morgan books.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:40:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, HOUND
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:40:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> I had the duchess of Corwyn have a pack of comfort spaniels. like Caviliers
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:41:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, he gets a dog for a birthday present from Lord Kenneth
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:41:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> (sorry about the capitals)
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:41:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I gave Araxie her own grayhound.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:41:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I thought the elegance of a grayhound would suit her
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:41:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Who was very fond of chicken
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:41:46 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Who ate one of Kelslon's boots
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:42:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> And Dhughal should have a Cassany wolfhound
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:42:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Those sharp little puppy teeth!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:42:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Sharp baby animal teeth are so cute!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:42:54 PM EST] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:43:07 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Until they bite you
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:43:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My brother has a puppy, and he has to keep supplying him with new chew toyes
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:43:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> toys, too
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:43:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> They're still cute. painful, sure, but cute. 🙂
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:43:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Until they puncture your thumb
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:43:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh, I 'm sure Dhugal has lots of dogs and horses
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:43:53 PM EST] <KK> Daphne already had her adult teeth when I got her.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:44:28 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> And they had cats in their barns to keep donw the mice and rats
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:44:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> KK, did Daphne still have a tiny pointy tail, or was it longer and more like an adult cat's tail?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:44:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Kitten tails are kind of like furry little carrots
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:45:03 PM EST] <KK> She was about 8 mo. old, so she just looked like a small adult cat. She's grown a bit, but will never be big.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:45:52 PM EST] <KK> A catling.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:45:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> ␝that might put me off of carrots␝
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:46:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> cuttie kitty
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:46:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi was always petite
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:46:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Catling!!! ␝squees from the cute␝
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:46:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Tati is a small cat, too
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:46:53 PM EST] <KK> The girls are usually smaller.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:47:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> My Shellly is a small cat: she got pregnant during her first heat and spent some critical growing months building babies.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:47:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi was small even for a girl cat
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:49:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Sims dogs and cats are not quite like having the real thing
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:49:31 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I think the story with Alaric playing with the cat was St Camber's Tiger.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:49:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> That was RHys
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:50:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> KK, for the last few weeks, you've been teasing us with the idea that you're about to start writing again. Are you any further along with that yet?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:50:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> They're not, but I'm not in a good place to get a new cat right now, sadly, so at least I get to play with them in the game.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:50:26 PM EST] <The_Bee> CATalyst
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:50:50 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> The cat Rhys saved when he found out about his healing talent was Simber and he was Evaine's cat
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:51:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Laurna> Very true Evie. that game is a bit addicting
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:51:18 PM EST] <KK> Nope, Nezz. Still clutter-busting so I can get at my desk for serious writing.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:51:28 PM EST] <KK> And I have a new somputer to install and tame.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:51:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Ooooh, new computer! I do love a new computer! 🙂
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:51:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A new computer can be a challenge
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:52:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Always
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:52:07 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Are you still plannning to do the Anthology?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:52:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> I hope it's problem-free.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:52:33 PM EST] <[chris]> new computer is always nice
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:52:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I have old software I still need to function on a new machine
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:52:42 PM EST] <KK> I have a friend to do the technical part, in the absence of Cameron, but she will need space to work, which doesn't exist right now.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:53:06 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Computers are never problem free although my DD1 always assures me that my problems are operator error
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:53:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Got seriously tempted to buy a new iPad last week. Just barely fought it off
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:53:41 PM EST] <The_Bee> My computer went dark recently,  Fortunately a guru was able to tell me on the phone what to do.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:53:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "the problem if between the keyboard and the seat"
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:54:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Shiral, I'm going to get a new ipad: Trying to justify the expense of another 12.9". I like them that big because of the art.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:54:14 PM EST] <The_Bee> if or is?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:54:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> is
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:54:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> thought so
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:54:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Mine is about four years old and still works. But I made the mistake of going into an Apple Store.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:54:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> PEBCAK error. "Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard."
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:54:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> rented fingers. No money back
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:55:05 PM EST] <[chris]> pebkac errors
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:55:07 PM EST] <KK> brrb
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:55:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Or the dreaded ID10T error.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:55:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> pebkac and id10-T errors
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:55:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The iPad pro is very tempting.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:56:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> For most of my digital artwork, I use my Laptop
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:56:12 PM EST] <The_Bee> My keyboard sometimes puts letter in the wrong place in a sentence.'
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:56:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> DH is getting a new computer. I get mine next year. Need it before 2025
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:56:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Mine is about 6 years old and has spots on the pat that has lost its sensitivity
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:57:03 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> AC is always sure it knows better what I want to say than I do
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:58:27 PM EST] <KK> I'm back.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:58:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> WB
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:58:45 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> @Jerusha why before 2025/
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:59:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Microsoft support for Windows 10 ends then
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:59:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> And it's not upgradable to 11?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [7:59:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> My laptop is too old. (maybe like me?)
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:00:08 PM EST] <KK> I think mine is 5-6 years old, desktop. Definitely time for an upgrade.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:00:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> Do any of you have windows 11?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:00:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I think mine is at least 10 years old
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:00:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Not yet, though my laptop keeps nagging at me to upgrade to 11.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:00:51 PM EST] <KK> And on that note, I think I'm going to check out. It's been a long day, and I've got the hungries.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:00:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm on Venture 13.1. 😉
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:07 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> What is that?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Bon appetit, KK!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, KK. Have a good week
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Night kk, hope you enjoy your dinner and have yourself a great week. 🙂
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:18 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm getting a bit peckish myself
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:35 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Night KK. Have a good week. Zoom next Sunday?
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:45 PM EST] <KK> And next week is Zoom!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yay!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:56 PM EST] <KK> Nighters, all!
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:01:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> Mine was damaged when I jumped up to answer the doorbell.  The cord was wrapped around my ankle.
[Sunday, January 29, 2023] [8:02:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> We'll literally see you on Sunday, then. 🙂
