[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:18:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> Father Mulcahey (was that his name?) was furious.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:18:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yeah, that was his name
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:18:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hullo KK
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:18:40 PM EST] Nick web76 is now known as KK.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:18:42 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi KK
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:18:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi KK
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:18:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello KK
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:18:54 PM EST] <KK> hiyas.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:19:06 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> got big plans for TG, KK?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:19:24 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, KK
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:19:26 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:19:31 PM EST] <KK> My computer was installing updates.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:19:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I'm now imagining a transfer portal getting updates ...
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:19:59 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL imagine
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:20:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> "We need to get out now! Go! ... GO! GO!"
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:20:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> "Please stand by...currently updating your portal signature to prevent temporal displacement...."
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:20:34 PM EST] <The_Bee> Beware of Trap Portals!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:20:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Please hold while your portal is being updated. do not close your portal
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:20:47 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oh no! It's the Blue Portal of Death! Literally!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:21:06 PM EST] <HoundMistress> LOL!!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:21:07 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> They should be glad that it's just "think of your destination". Imagine if it was like computer networking. "Unplug your transfer portal and plug it back in again."
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:21:23 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:21:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> (I have no idea why I thought these)
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:21:53 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Transporting is a little scary if you thing about The Dragons of Pern.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:21:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> "Have you tried digging up your portal stone and putting it back on the ground again?"
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:21:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Update failed please revert back to safe mode
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:22:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Fortunately, my portal uses a different OS.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:22:34 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Run Windows troubleshooter?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:22:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> "Can you disable the Portal energies, give it thirty seconds, and restart?"
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:22:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> "We can have a technician out there in ... let's see, Grecotha has the nearest portal ... 5 days?"
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:23:02 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:23:03 PM EST] <KK> Just got a call from Cameron.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:23:07 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oy, don't talk to me about Grecotha portals...
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:23:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi to Cameron
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:23:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Say hello to Cameron
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:23:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hello Cameron

[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:23:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> And Anna.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:23:38 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Cameron!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:23:59 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hope all is well with Cameron.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:24:53 PM EST] <HoundMistress> How are the knees, KK?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:25:31 PM EST] <KK> Knees are doing ok.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:25:52 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Good to hear!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:26:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Does OK mean without pain?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:26:30 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I hope it does.

[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:26:38 PM EST] <KK> No pain.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:26:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Yay!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:26:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Good!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:27:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good happy to hear that
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:28:05 PM EST] <KK> Awwww, sweet kitten.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:28:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> HM, that is why I am a dog person
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:28:22 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Sweet vector of destruction and chaos. 😄
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:28:51 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is that a finger in front of the itty?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:28:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Although I just put up my christamas train set and Village. and Lyla has been winning has the train eversince.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:29:00 PM EST] <HoundMistress> My SIL used to have a cat that managed to turn the Christmas tree over every year, no matter what we did to foil her~
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:29:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> whining.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:29:40 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I've never seen a Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:29:42 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> For Laurna: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8a/4c/a2/8a4ca2b6b519a2b2c8a21fbd6a019827.jpg
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:30:02 PM EST] <HoundMistress> LOL! No matter how long it takes me!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:30:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I had put a strand of lights on that table a few days before. when grociery shopping and came back to find she had eaten all the elctric cords.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:30:32 PM EST] <The_Bee> Some of my neighbors alread have their Christmas lights on. I'm waiting til after Thansgiving.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:30:45 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes, I refuse to do Christmas before Thanksgiving
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:30:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Same, Evie, Same.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:31:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Never ever ever before the day after Thanksgiving.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:31:14 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I make my husband wait until after Thanksgiving as well. He'd probably put them up right around Halloween if he had his druthers.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:31:22 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> That being said, i have a tiny tree i mounted to the ceiling that never comes down... in my kids bedroom.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:31:26 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I thought the train set would be fun to have out, since I do not see my brother's family at christmas time anymore.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:32:05 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Sarah, I hope it is a fake tree. lOL
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:32:06 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Trains kinda go with Christmas.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:32:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> In the Philippines they begin the Christmas holiday season super early, like late September or early October, I think. I would be so Christmassed out by December if we did that here.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:32:14 PM EST] <The_Bee> I leave the lights in my window all yeara; I just doon't turn them on.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:32:22 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> The train is for thanksgiving this year
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:32:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I won't even listen to Christmas music until early December.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:32:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1310402711669440523/Xmas_Ornaments_Are_History.jpg?ex=67451720&is=6743c5a0&hm=eea558f1fcfe1cbbfc9c2d38dc08b004a91f7fdabb221e3c6abb304ebfcf2d40&;
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:32:49 PM EST] <HoundMistress> LOL!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:33:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> LOL!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:33:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We used to put all the breakable ornaments at the very top of our tree and only used stuffed Happy Meal ornaments at the bottom for Luke to attack.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:33:16 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I leave my lights on my balcony railing year round, but they're not really Christmas lights; they're "it makes DesertRose happy to have pretty lights on her balcony" lights.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:33:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> He wasn't a tree climber, fortunately, so he was content with batting at the non-breakable ornaments he could reach.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:33:56 PM EST] <HoundMistress> No lights here but I do hope to put up my Nativity
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:34:15 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Ever since I put in a tile floor. I loose more glass ornimates just from droping them then from the animals.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:34:27 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The first Christmas we had Catarina was the last Christmas we used the silver tinsel icicles. Tinsel icicles plus kitten equals fortunately not a vet visit but definitely an object lesson.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:34:36 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> You don't have a nice tree skirt?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:35:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I do but it is not big enough
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:35:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I'll bet the litter box was nice and glittery a day or so later
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:35:25 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> She had sparkles coming out her bum. Literally.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:35:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Arsicles?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:35:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Directly to the punitentiary for you, @tm_9039! 🤣
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:36:05 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Loading Trebechet.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:36:08 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> "Stand by to receiving herring!"
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:36:22 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Bubbie is out, asking what a Christmas Tree is. I told her nevermind, we are NOT having one!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:36:36 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Mackerel.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:36:44 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Launching
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:36:45 PM EST] <KK> On the phone still with Cameron.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:36:47 PM EST] <The_Bee> I never have a tree because I spend Christmas with family in Vermont
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:37:06 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> It is all good, KK. We are entertaining ourselves.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:37:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yup
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:37:14 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> They ... don't have trees in Vermont?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:37:16 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> We're easily amused
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:37:22 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I don't bother with a tree at my flat; I just change the door floral from the autumn teardrop/broom thing to a wreath.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:37:42 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The tree is at my parents' house, with five cats, four adult humans, two dogs, and a partridge. 😄
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:37:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I haven't put one up in recent years since we go to my parents' house to unwrap our presents, and so we just decorate their place
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:37:48 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Can confirm on @azdesertrose having seen her door a few times myself.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:38:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> Oh, Yes! I mean I don't have Christmas tree in my apartment.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:38:34 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I might still have had the summer lantern up when you visited. I can't remember when in September it was; except for Christmas, I change the door floral when the official season changes.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:40:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I am bad, I just opened a tin of short bread cookies.a but oh so good.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:40:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yuuuuuummmm
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:40:36 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> You are not bad. And shortbread cookies are delish.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:40:37 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Good to store sewing supplies.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:40:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Shiral's recipe is lovely; it's on the forum, and I've had much success bringing them to parties.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:40:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Wait, those are butter cookies. Sorry.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:41:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oh, I promised the new guy cookies for chat. But he's not here. So I guess I'm off the hook. 🙂
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:41:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> My sewing supplies are well above and beyond cookie tins.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:41:21 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Butter cookies?! Can I have some pleeeaaaassee?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:42:01 PM EST] * CambersGhost [discord] <azdesertrose> sets out the tea table, complete with teapot, tea carafe, cookie plate, cake plate, pie plate, and savory plate, all of which give you whatever hot/cold beverage and food you want.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:42:10 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Walkers Scottish short bread. You can only get them this time a year at costco
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:42:30 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> oh hot tea, thank you, DR!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:42:31 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Bit chilly for ice cream, but there's some in the tea room freezer for those who want some.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:42:52 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> *pours myself some chai and grabs a hot croissant*
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:43:16 PM EST] * The_Bee adds mulled cider to the table.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:43:35 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Gotta go put the pork chops on. I'm getting toooo hungry.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:43:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> mmmmm, pork chops...
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:44:41 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Starbucks has an iced gingerbread chai this time of year that I may have to try.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:44:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:45:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi Jerusha

[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:45:11 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:45:21 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> KK is on the phone with Cameron so we're amusing ourselves with food, as usual. 😄
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:45:21 PM EST] <HoundMistress> H, Jerusha
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:45:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:45:34 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Nobody Spethes like Jerusha!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:45:45 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> We like food, cats/dogs, and Katherine's stories around here.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:45:48 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I made a chuck roast in the slow cooker, so I have many leftovers to sort and freeze before chat
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:46:00 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> yumm
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:46:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yum!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:46:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I try to be Spethific
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:46:15 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Is the florida house all repairs completed, Jerusha?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:46:41 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Oh goodness, Jerusha, did the FL place take damage from Helene/Milton?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:46:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Mostly. We still need to have it painted, and are thinking about hurricane windows
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:46:53 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Oh, no! Did it have a lot of damage?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:46:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Nope, we escaped unscathed
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:46:58 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Was it Hurricane damage?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:47:02 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I didn't even think to ask; I always think of you as living in Canada!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:47:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> No, the renovations were necessary for a 30 year old home that hadn't been looked after for awhile
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:47:44 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> South Coastal Canada, aka FL
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:47:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Yep!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:47:57 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL long coast line
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:48:19 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hurricane windows are probably a good investment, or do like my dad did and set permanent bolting places around the windows with precut boards, so all he has to do to board up is match board to window and get someone to hold the board while he plugs in and snugs up the bolts.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:48:30 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Did you know there is an Elspeth MacRorie in the codex?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:48:42 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> No, I didn't!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:48:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> One of Joram/Cathan/Evaine's siblings?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:48:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I think she died as a child, no?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:49:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or was it Camber's sister that became a nun?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:49:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> she lived to be 77 years
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:49:39 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Alas. ,u codex is back in Canada
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:49:40 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Camber's sister, the abbess, I think.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:49:41 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Musta been the nun, then
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:50:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Yes
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:50:22 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> 77 years? Compared to Camber at 200+ and still counting, I guess she did die as a child.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:50:23 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> So another Mother Elspeth, just "mother" in yet another sense
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:50:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Also a serving maid in Rhemuth was named Elspeth
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:50:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> There's an Elspeth O'Flynn as well
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:51:06 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hmm, wonder how that happened
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:51:27 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hmmm. Should Amy be worried
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:51:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Elizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy, and Bess
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:51:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> All went together to seek a bird's nest
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:51:30 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> They found one with five eggs in it
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:51:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Each took one and left four in it.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:51:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> And all were the same
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:52:28 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Elizabeth either liked having multiple nicknames or she had dissociative identity disorder
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:52:36 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Nah, she's the aunt
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:52:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I had not put Elspeth in with Elizabeth, as the others are
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:52:43 PM EST] <KK> Okay, Cameron says hello to all. He's in Tulsa, working on a case, so this was a good time for him to talk.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:52:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Having recently been applauded for my memory, LOL. I can remember all sorts of weird things but not the three things I need at the supermarket.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:53:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Same, DR, same
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:53:10 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or why I walked into the kitchen.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:53:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Oh Cool Case hunter
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:53:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hello to Cameron as well
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:53:14 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> All is well with Cameron?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:53:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Got big TG plans, KK?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:53:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> And Anna?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:53:26 PM EST] <The_Bee> Wasn't it a sister of Camber who willed herself to death when her home was invaded?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:53:38 PM EST] <KK> I make lists, for Walmart delivery, for Costco, for picking up elsewhere.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:54:09 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> And then I start looking at stuff and forget to read the list
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:54:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> RIGHT?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:54:28 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I think that was Elspeth the abbess, Bee. The abbey was invaded and being ransacked and burnt, and she decided to die of her own will.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:54:40 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I have an app on my phone that serves that purpose, because if I forget to add something to my grocery list when I am thinking about it, I will forget it by the time I get to the store just a mile from my house.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:54:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> And don't get me started on the rabbit holes that are Wikipedia and YouTube.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:55:28 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> When I need more of something, I put the old bottle / box / whatnot on a corner of the counter. Sometimes I take a picture before I go to the store.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:55:29 PM EST] <KK> Ah, rabbit holes....
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:55:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I use one called Out of Milk, Evie.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:56:02 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Also has a nice To-Do list section.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:56:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I don't always think of what I need when I'm at home, though. Sometimes I think of items I need while at the office, and drop by the store on the way home
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:56:23 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> While cleaning house this week. I went through some of my book shelves. I have an1950's encyclopeadia set. I could not get my self to through it in the trash. but I boxed it up . may be still might be trash.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:56:28 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> on the topic of grocery shopping, etc... When i find a product everyone loves, I email it to myself with a picture so I can easily search for it when at the store. works 90% of the time for me.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:56:29 PM EST] <KK> I use pics too, often if I'm sending someone to get a specific thing from the store for me.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:56:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Internet is so much more informative these days.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:57:21 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Any info in a 1950s encyclopedia set would be so badly outdated, I don't think even a thrift store would accept it. Maybe some collector would buy it for nostalgia value, but that's about it
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:57:26 PM EST] <The_Bee> Some info is even true.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:57:27 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Yeah, old encyclopedias aren't much good these days. Or old college textbooks
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:57:49 PM EST] <KK> Laurna, is there a free place near you, where you can donate things and people can come and take them away? I'm just discovering these around here.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:58:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or want to remember a specific item, like a lotion or soap that doesn't make my skin angry, pics are wonderful for that.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:58:04 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good idea
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:58:25 PM EST] <KK> Don't know what they call those places.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:58:28 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Pickup Please is a veterans' thrift shop association; you can look and see if they're in your area.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:58:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We used to have a Freecycle drop-off place near here, but I don't think it has been active in a while, at least in our area
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:58:52 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It was back when I belonged to Freecycle on Yahoo Groups, which I think no longer exists
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:59:03 PM EST] <KK> Covid might have closed it down.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:59:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've donated comic books the the local Boys' and Girls' Club.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:59:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Freecycle has its own website now. www.freecycle.org
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:59:21 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I think it was gone long before Covid
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:59:22 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> My area has Half Price Books, and Goodwill might take them.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:59:42 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> OK, I'll check the new site and see if there is some other dropoff point in our area these days
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:59:45 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> You can join your local group there. And look on Facebook for a Buy Nothing [Your Area] group.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [7:59:48 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Half Price books bought some of Lou
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:00:02 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Lou's sets of mystery books.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:00:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The one I remember was really convenient since it was right off the interstate and not too far from where my parents live
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:00:15 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I just needed more space for my the books I love.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:00:33 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, we're moving beyond Goodwill and the like.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:00:51 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm working on thinning out my print books since I mostly read on Kindle these days because I can control the font size. Post cataract surgery, print is hard for me to read.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:01:41 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm keeping some (KK's among them), but I mostly don't read actual physical books because I need a magnifying glass.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:01:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I can not read very well on the computer. My eyesight gets really strained when looking at tight printing.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:02:08 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> (I do have one, but with my reading speed, it's annoying to try to keep up moving the magnifier.)
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:02:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> I have trouble reading the tiny print of my cell phone
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:02:55 PM EST] <KK> Bee, that's somewhat adjustable.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:02:58 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If you try an actual Kindle (instead of just the Kindle app on a phone or computer), one of the less expensive versions that's not just a tablet computer, that replicates the experience of reading off a paper page, but you can resize the font as needed.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:03:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or the Kindle app on a tablet/iPad.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:03:25 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I just use reading glasses for the books.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:03:57 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> To read a real book, I take my glasses off and hold the book close to my nose.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:03:59 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes, but sometimes a tablet or iPad can cause eye strain for some people, which is why I suggested the black-and-white Kindles
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:04:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've been meaning to go to the store and find out how to adjust the size. My new phone as too mu stuff I don't understand.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:04:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I've got progressive multifocals, but sometimes it's less the font size and more the contrast that's a problem.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:04:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Laurna, it sounds like you need a prescription that will let you read as well as see at a distance
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:04:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yeah, I have a Kindle Paperwhite on my wish list. Right now I'm using an Android tablet, and the glare gets to me sometimes.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:04:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> I have a chronic blur i my left eye.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:05:15 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I love my Kindle paperwhite
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:05:17 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I have bi focals and progressive glasses. but Just not gotten use to them
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:05:20 PM EST] <KK> Progressives used to drive me crazy, searching for that sweet spot. Readers work best for me.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:05:23 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Bee, have you mentioned that to your eye doctor?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:05:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> Yes, I've ben getting injections. I'm overdue for another.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:05:57 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Ever since I stopped wearing contacts (retirement time) I have had this trouble.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:06:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Laurna, try not tilting your whole head down to see the page, just look down with your eyes. A lot of times if you are having trouble adjusting to any sort of multifocal lens, it's because you are moving your head rather than your eyes and looking through the wrong part of the lens for what you are trying to do.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:06:40 PM EST] <The_Bee> I wore conracts in high school, but they were never comfortable.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:07:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That is likely very true. Evie I move my head and not my eyes
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:08:15 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> You just have to retrain yourself to keep your head more level and only move your eyes down to the page. You can move the book to the right position to look through the sweet spot, but if you are tilting your head down, your gaze is still looking through the same part of the lens used for more distant vision
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:08:31 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> my grandmother struggles at times to use her multifocals, too. she just takes them off to read her print books though and when shes trying to thread the sewing machine.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:08:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If I take my glasses off to read, I'd just about need to buy Braille books!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:09:14 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> But my job is rethreading the machines, now so there's that...
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:09:21 PM EST] <The_Bee> When you can only see through the middle of your lens, you get the habit of not moving your eyes.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:09:30 PM EST] <KK> Sounds like you were wearing hard lenses, Bee. Though I never got good,crisp correction with soft ones. Of course, by then I was fighting muscle issues and double vision, finally corrected after I got my cataracts dealt with.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:09:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I could never see as well with soft lenses as I could with hard or gas permeable
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:10:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> Yes. That was all they had in the 1950s and 1960s.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:10:39 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I had to give up my contacts when I worked on a computer all day. My eyes dried out too much\
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:10:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> I tried the newer one years later, but i still didn't like them.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:10:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Dry eyes is something else that will blur the vision
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:11:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> I kept having to lubricate my eyes.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:11:23 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I lived in soft contact lens from age 16 to age 59 only wearing glasses for the last four years.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:11:31 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I see very clearly with my clear multifocal contacts, and mostly clearly with my colored contacts that I wear every so often because I always wanted some other color besides brown eyes. (Don't get me wrong, I can see fine through those too, just not with quite as much sharp clarity as the ones that are totally clear.)
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:12:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I keep a bottle of dry eye lubricating drops in my purse to hydrate mine as needed.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:12:19 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I wondered if Color lens colored you vission?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:12:36 PM EST] <KK> Yep. Initially, I wore hard lenses ok, especially once they came up with gas-permeable ones. But I never got a good correction with soft lenses, though they were more comfortable to wear. Finally they got too fiddly to wear, so I gave up on them..
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:12:52 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I loved my soft multi-focals, but couldn't afford the cataract implants multifocals.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:13:09 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> My eyes would change shape throughout the day; that's why soft lenses didn't work as well for me
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:13:16 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> No, the part of the lens over the pupil is clear. It's just the part over the iris that has dots of color. You can still see some of my brown iris between the colored bits, so it looks more natural than a solid color.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:13:38 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, the soft lenses dont do a lot for correcting astigmatism.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:14:35 PM EST] <KK> I wore green lenses for years, and grey ones after that. Soft lenses were clear.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:14:47 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Nowadays I can't wear even the gas permeable lenses because my eyes are too flat on the front from my lasics surgery years ago
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:15:21 PM EST] <KK> I take it that lasik didn't entirely resolve your issues.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:16:14 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> @Laurna Mine look like this, except most people aren't standing mere inches from my face, so the pixellation isn't noticeable. https://cdn.colouredcontacts.com/prod/cache/sylius_shop_product_large_thumbnail/sylius/9f/71/829f7fce12a288a519e1da406bc5.jpg
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:16:26 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:16:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Cool
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:16:34 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> It did, but get the lasiks didn't prevent my eyes from continuing to worsen. So they were great for about 5 years, pretty good for another 5 years, but now I'm back to being blind. 😉 -11
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:16:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If someone besides DH is standing close enough to see blocks of color on my irises, Imma hit them upside the head with a frying pan
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:17:10 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I knew KK had some of that Haldane Grey eyes going on.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:17:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> OMG, I actually tried the gray contacts once! They might have looked great when I was a sweet young thing with very dark hair, but if you have graying hair and gray eyes, it's more like Zombie Chic!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:17:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Are KK's Haldane gray or Morgan gray?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:17:59 PM EST] <KK> Grey lenses didn't make my eyes grey. They've always been mostly green.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:18:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I wore gray lenses too, but they really didn't change the color of my eyes. They just helped me find them if I dropped one. 🙂
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:18:44 PM EST] <KK> Grey lenses just made them easier to see when inserting and removing.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:19:07 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Is it like looking through sunglasses?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:19:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I never noticed a difference when wearing them.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:19:55 PM EST] <KK> Me either, Nezz.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:19:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yeah, back when I wore hard lenses, mine were a very pale blue which, alas, did nothing to alter my eye color. Or maybe fortunately they didn't, since hard contacts are enough smaller than the iris that it would look really weird to have crystal blue irises completely framed with chocolate brown!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:20:14 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The tint is so light, you don't notice it
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:20:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> weird, but cool!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:20:32 PM EST] <The_Bee> My contacts came with a Crying Towel covered with advice for looking for a lost lens. It ended with, If you can't find them, "use this towel and have agood cry.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:21:28 PM EST] <The_Bee> "
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:21:39 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oh, I always managed to find mine. Unfortunately I normally found them stuck to the bottom of my foot or stuck to the palm of my hand where I had been leaning on the countertop and cracked the lens.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:22:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Did you ever lose a pair of soft lenses in the white of your eye?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:22:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> No, but that sounds unpleasant and somewhat difficult to do
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:22:47 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> very unpleasant
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:22:48 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> When dad moved into the Care home, they ladies running the house would not be willing to help him with his hard contact lens. So my sister had to go over there every morning and every eveing to help him get his lenses in and out. Dad liked it because he then saw us twice a day.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:23:04 PM EST] <KK> I's amazing how far under the lid a contact lens was go.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:23:07 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Totally possible. I mean, you find them before too long because you can feel it back there.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:23:10 PM EST] <KK> can go
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:23:17 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I just realized, KK. You've been Wearin' de Grey all along?!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:23:50 PM EST] <KK> Where's my mackerel launcher?
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:23:51 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL TM You just hit the max
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:23:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> *calls out* Another Fish for TM!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:23:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Getting hard contacts out was easy for me. I would just pull the corner of my eye back with a finger and blink. It's soft contacts that like to cling for dear life unless they are lubricated enough
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:24:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I'm not sorry I gave up on my contacts
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:25:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> they hang on like saran wrap clinging to itself
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:25:14 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, I never got adept at removing the soft lenses. Somehow, just grabbing the lens in a pinch motion never really worked for me.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:25:23 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> My nose bridge wishes I would go back to Contacts.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:25:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oh yeah
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:25:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I have to go with really light frames and ultralight lenses
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:26:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yeah, otherwise they're so thick and heavy
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:26:19 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> My eyes were too dry for contacts. I mean, I could do it, but having to put lubricating drops in my eyes ten thousand times a day drove me guano.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:26:22 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Soft contacts are so easy to remove for me. a little touch and pinch and they are out
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:26:27 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Not that I wear my glasses that often, but in allergy season I sometimes have to switch to them, and need them to be comfortable when I do
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:26:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Hard contact lenses hurt my eyes so I had to take them out after 2 hours or so. That didn't last long. Soft contacts weren't as bad but weren't good either. My eyes bothered me for years after those experiments.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:27:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> The minute I got home from work, the contacts came out
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:27:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Mine are extended wear, so I can go all week with them in and just give them a good cleaning on the weekend, although it's recommended I take them out for a cleaning more frequently.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:27:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I have permanent little dents on the bridge of my nose from the nose pads. But glasses are harder for me to misplace than contacts, in addition to not having to deal with the dry eyes problem.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:28:34 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Unless I'm silly and take them off where Carys the Cat Burglar can steal them. I don't know what that cat's deal is with glasses, but if they're not on your face, they'd better be out of kitty reach or she'll steal them!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:28:49 PM EST] <KK> LOL
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:28:59 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Never sleep in contact lens. I take mine out every evening. and have the ones that last only tw weeks and then replace them with new ones.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:29:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Mine are made to be able to be slept in, and if I don't, I'm stumbling around half blind trying to find my contact lens case or glasses case the next morning and panicking when I can't find them.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:30:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And I would really be up the creek if I can't find either to put them back on again, because I'd be too blind to function without them!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:30:28 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Never move them from one spot
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:30:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> no more contact lenses for me. They're not worth the bother.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:31:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'd be terrified of having to wake up ready to evacuate due to a fire or go downstairs for a tornado warning, and not being able to see
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:31:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> "Excuse me, fire, but you have to wait until I find my contacts and put them in."
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:32:21 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I would get 24 sets of contacts a year and I would keep one unopened set in my purse at all times.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:33:01 PM EST] <KK> A wise precaution.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:33:15 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> You must use a different brand from mine. I just ordered a six month set, which is six lenses per eye.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:33:23 PM EST] <KK> And a small bottle of wetting solution.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:33:37 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> working at a hospital had to incase I had to do an eye wash or something awful like that.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:33:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That makes sense.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:34:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Keeping a spare pair in your purse seems like a wise precaution in any case, as long as you switch the spare pair every so often so you don't end up keeping one that is years old in there. They do have an expiry date.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:34:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> agreeed
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:35:25 PM EST] <KK> Kind of like rotating out provisions from one's emergency rations, so that nothing expires.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:35:57 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yup
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:36:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Back when I was 19 years old the contacts were one lens that lasted two years. and I lost one in Itally and I had to mail home to have it replaced. I did have a pair of glass, but I remember it took three weeks to replace the lost lens.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:37:07 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Back from dinner. Yum!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:37:08 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm about to get my parents' hand-me-down fridge, which is still in great condition, my Mom just didn't think the layout of it suited her needs, but it's a much better layout than my current one and should make it easier for me to see and weed out old food before it goes so bad it's evolving technology.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:37:26 PM EST] <KK> Ack, guys, I just realized why I've suddenly gotten so hungry. Haven't eaten since late breakfast, so I'm going to have to sign off and get some supper. I hope everyone has a great Turkey Day on Thursday.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:37:37 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oh goodness, go eat!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:37:42 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Nice Evie

[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:37:58 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm about to go feed my face too, though mine is just reheat and face-stuff.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:38:02 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Cinncinnati, when the Turkeys fell

[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:38:36 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> As both a WKRP and Star Trek fan, I love that, Nezz! 😄
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:38:45 PM EST] <KK> Having one's fridge die is a good way to rotate stuff out. Expensive, though. I do like my new fridge.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:38:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Have a happy Thanksgiving, KK
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:38:57 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Looks like many are going. Dinner is the great seduced of attention.

[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:39:23 PM EST] <The_Bee> Happy Thanksgiving to All!
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:39:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> In the grociery store yesterday, I mentioned to the clerk about the third rock from the sun thanksgiving where they thought the world was coming to an end because every one was shoping. the clerk did not even know what I was talking about.
[Sunday, November 24, 2024] [8:39:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> G'night, KK, happy Thanksgiving, and see you next week on Zoom! Thanks for coming to hang out with us!
