[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:05:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Still got stocking stuffers for the ol' man

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:05:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello KK
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:05:29 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi KK
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:05:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <chris> hi all. still watching the vikings game
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:05:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I'd guess that no one is entirely ready for Santa.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:05:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Who's ahead?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:06:08 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hnefatafl, Bynw? 😉
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:06:18 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I didn't have a lot of Santa-ing to do this year
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:06:19 PM Eastern Standard Time] <chris> vikings by 3
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:06:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I figure it might rain tomorrow, so I will make fudge for gifts
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:06:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's a Viking game. Just not usually televised. 😄
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:06:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oooh, fudge
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:07:01 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I have grand-nieces and nephews from 4 months to 4+1/2 years.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:07:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I was hoping to make caramels this year, but I haven't had the strength yet
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:07:18 PM Eastern Standard Time] <chris> vikings games are usually televised
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:07:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Little ones, Those are fun to gift
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:07:29 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm mighty glad I reread Laurna's statement, because fudge for grits sounded appalling until I realised that last word was gifts!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:07:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:07:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I don't know thename of the younges girl.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:08:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] * chris made fudge last week and shared it with work and the neighbors
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:08:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> The 4-month-old, Bee?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:08:33 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good for you Chris
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:08:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I'll bet the 4-month would love some fudge. 🙂
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:08:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> a boy--Calvin; he has a stuffed tiger named Hobbes.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:09:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> cool
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:09:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> middle name Theodore, after his great-grandfather, my brother
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:10:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The name is starting to trend again, along with other great-grandparent generation names
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:10:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Good to have a Hobbes. A good friend of mine has an orange cat named Hobbes.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:11:01 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Orange cats are great
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:11:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Her Hobbes is a live, long-haired orange boy.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:11:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I got to meet my DD's long-haired orange boy yesterday
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:11:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I wish I'd been named for someone. My parenrs deliberately gave me a name that wasn't borne by anyone else in my family.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:11:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <chris> interception!!! SKOL!!!!!! Vikings for the win
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:12:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yeah "The Bee" is a pretty unusual name. 😄
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:12:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> 😄
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:12:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Congrats Vikings
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:12:38 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> B for Beverly
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:12:41 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I've had several great orange cats. But the best cats are whatever color they are. I'd never had a grey tiger before Daphne, and she's amazing. Brought me a stinkbug this morning. Mighty hunter!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:13:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> EEWW, stinky bugs
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:13:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Every gray tiger cat we've had in our family has been a sweetie
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:13:21 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oooooh, a stinkbug for mum for Christmas! 🙂
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:13:44 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Good Daphne
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:13:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:14:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Gigi was technically a brown tabby if you looked at her very closely, but most people assumed she was gray unless they took a close look at her fur
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:14:14 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Jerusha!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:14:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Hi jerusha
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:14:38 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I don't think I want a stinkbug for Christmas, or any other time
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:14:38 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Yeah, he'd been buzzing around the living room ceiling fan last night, and Miss D was very focused on him.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:15:00 PM Eastern Standard Time] * chris has to clean up the kitchen
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:15:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Penance, Bynw?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:15:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'd rather be gifted a stinkbug by a cat than a palmetto bug, though.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:15:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> There is that
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:16:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Daphne actually has lots of muted tan on her tummy. But her back stripes are vivid black. Only white on her is right under her nose, and a little spilled over onto her chin.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:16:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Honestly, if it's dead, then the cat has done their job.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:16:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> A silverfish strolled out from my Mom's Betty Crocker cookbook when I was looking up the recipe for stuffing
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:16:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Just as long as the cat doesn't go for a bee or wasp, I'm find with whatever bug they want to bring home
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:16:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Oh yeah, no stung kitties, that is no bueno.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:17:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Agree, no stung kitties!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:17:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> My sis'll meet it tommorrow.ter has a new cat; I
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:17:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> My computer likes to rearrange my words.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:17:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> So does my head, Bee!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:18:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> lol
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:18:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> my fingers just rearrange all my letters
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:18:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Kind of like pick-up-sticks
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:19:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> exactly I know there is and I in there somewhere so I will just pick it up next
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:19:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Can I buy a vowel, please?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:20:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Make me an offer!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:20:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Fudge
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:20:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> mmmmmmmm

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:21:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> She always wants me to buy a u
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:21:33 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I remember when "As" on report cards were important
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:21:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> since I keep calling her J or J-sha
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:21:47 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> lol
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:22:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Then we need an e as well

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:22:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Jareshu
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:23:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Mine too
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:23:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Ja-sheese-u
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:23:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Bless you
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:23:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Thank you
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:23:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Sheruja
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:23:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> and mine, but I'd be embarrassed to let anyone see it.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:23:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That sounded like a Sneeze
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:24:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Sheruja sounds like a cool Cheetah
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:24:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Princess Sheruja
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:25:01 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> all i had to do was get the dirty dishes from our slightly earlier supper into the dishwasher and put the leftovers in the fridge and wipe everything down. easy peasy
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:25:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> From Andelon
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:27:44 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> (I just got back from putting laundry in)
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:27:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> 'Yeah "The Bee" is a pretty unusual name.'
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:27:47 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Aunt Bee from *The Andy Griffith Show* and *Mayberry R.F.D.*
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:28:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> So what does everyone want for Christmas this year? Real stuff doesn't count, gotta be pretend.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:28:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Oh drat. I'm getting the Lego Medieval Village
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:28:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oooooo
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:28:41 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Rhemuth Castle
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:28:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Best.Gift.Ever
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:28:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Or at least a nice apartment at Rhemuth
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:29:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> a full set of Deryni powers
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:29:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> OH I want to be there when you are gifte Rhemuth Castle
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:29:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> And Bynw, I want to be in on your Gift too.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:29:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I thought about Deryni powers, but that depends on the time period and if I'm likely to end up becoming a roasty-toasty for it
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:29:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> An apartment at Rhemuth might be possible; but not the whole castle.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:30:19 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> KK, where's your apartment at Rhemuth? top floor of the tower?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:30:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> (with an elevator)
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:30:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> A cozy room or two at Rhemuth would be fine, especially if it's fairly close to the Great Hall.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:30:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Portal mind you
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:30:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Maybe a tower in Coroth?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:30:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> No, lower down, I thiink. Don't want too many stairs.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:31:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Too drafty that high up
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:31:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> 2nd floor overlooking the queens Garden
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:31:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I'd like inspiration for the longer story I've been contemplating. -- You did specify "pretend" and not real!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:31:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Shouldn't be, unless the windows aren't properly covered
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:31:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Need beautiful tapestries on the walls
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:31:38 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I did indeed
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:31:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> There are always windows and tapestries to cut down the drafts.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:31:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Any castle room will be drafty if the roof is off. 😉
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:32:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Oh, and a lovely trained perigrin falcon
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:32:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> TM start writing and Then you will have trouble stopping
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:32:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Jerusha, a falcon could be trained to scare the hamsters into cooperating with you
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:32:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> They only part of the castle that will have the roof off, is the room where my dragon sleeps
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:32:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> So long as it doesn't make the hamster lunch
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:33:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Depends on the scene, for me. I have having a slow slog through my current one.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:33:14 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> My common problem:
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:33:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1320549807269347329/Tumblr_l_202024151729095.jpg?ex=676a0158&is=6768afd8&hm=cb727032fbd2b470e2e98c3cd2dd77b5e42a8051b0824fe2b0b60326873cc8a6&;
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:33:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> KK. if Gwynedd is an analog of Wales, Meara is one for ireland, and Kinsair is for Scotland; what is the 11-Kingdoms analog for England?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:33:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> That's why its so well trained. 🙂
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:34:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> So understand that, TM
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:34:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> With a Saluki to scare up the game
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:35:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Saluki?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:35:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> My previous house had a stairway up fro the garage level, that opened right outside my office door. In the winter, I'd hang a curtain in the office doorway, because the cold air from the garage would come barrelling up what stairway. I couldn't just close the door,, because the cats and dogs wouldn't have had free access. The things we do for
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:35:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> our pets.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:35:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I don't read the Eleven Kingdoms as a 1:1 correspondance like that, Bee, but more like a cultural mix. Some areas are more English-leaning, some more Celtic-leaning, French-leaning, etc. but looking at the descriptions in the novels and the Codex, it doesn't seem as simple as "Bremagne = Spain" or "Bremagne = France."
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:35:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Desert sighthound. The only dog blessed to sleep in the tent of the master
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:36:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If anything, Bremagne reminds me a little of a meld between Brittany and Spain, or maybe just part of what later became Spain.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:36:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Love that, KK
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:36:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Sounds good, Evie.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:36:35 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I just figured england must be in the mix somewhere.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:36:40 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I thought Bremagne = France.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:37:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I tend to think of lowland Gwynedd as more English-like and the Border regions more like the Celtic parts of Britain
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:37:14 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Yes, 9039, with a bit of Spain/Moorish thrown in.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:37:29 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> And yes, Evie.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:37:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> 9039?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:37:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi everyone. Sorry to be late. Doing some last minute Christmas stuff. Is everyone ready for the big day
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:37:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> 9039? We doing far future Bremagne? 😄
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:37:50 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello DFK
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:37:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi DFK
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:37:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi DFK
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:38:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Hi DFK
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:38:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> 9039 could be interesting
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:38:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> that's Tm_9039
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:38:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi DFK! What pretend thing do you want for Christmas?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:38:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Hi, DFK. We're all still wrestling with late preps, I think.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:38:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've taken some inspiration from Al-Andalus for Andelon, but only a little
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:38:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Ah, I see, the number does not show up on Discord
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:39:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've mostly got my Christmas gifts in, but not yet wrapped
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:39:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Laurna, it's the same reason IRCers call me "stnezz" instead of just "Nezz"
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:39:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That one I knew.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:39:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> But I have not been on IRC in a long time now
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:39:47 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I like the idea of St. Nezz, though. It makes me giggle copiously. 😉
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:39:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I gave up my subscription
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:40:05 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Who is tm 9039?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:40:08 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> "Stnezz" is a sneeze.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:40:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> My Christmas spirit has been slow this year, since my sister's death.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:40:14 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> You have to subscribe to be on IRC now? I never had one.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:40:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> That is understandable, Bee
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:40:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I am Number 6! Er, I mean, I guess I'm TM_9039.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:40:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> no. Laura is talking about IRCCloud
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:40:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> The "st" is supposed to be pronouced "Ess-Tee," which is my professional name.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:40:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> You lost a sister, Bee? Somehow I missed that. Sorry to hear it.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:40:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> which allows for a static connection to IRC if you want one
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:41:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Ess-Tee Lauder?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:41:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> WHASHOO!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:41:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] * bynw would just pronounce it as saint
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:41:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> (TM on Discord is my display name, I think, but tm_9039 is the underlying login name. I think.)
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:41:33 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Estey Nesmith
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:41:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> cancer. She beat it once, but this time she opted for palliative care only. "Sedate me and let me go."
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:41:50 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Professional for writing?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:41:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> the bot doesn't see the display name, only the login name
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:41:57 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Jerusha, yeah
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:42:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> A stnezz is a sneeze; it comes from a schnozz.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:42:05 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Cool
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:42:18 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I do indeed have a schnozz
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:42:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Oh, sad, Bee. But I respect her decision. Sometimes that's the best way to go.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:42:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My grandmother made the same choice with her second bout with cancer, Bee
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:43:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> In the flurry of messages, I missed the part about Bee's sister. Oh, dear.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:44:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Except she had an oddly fortuitous stroke that she recovered from quickly, but it was fortuitous in that it took away nearly all her pain, so she was able to go off morphine and just manage the little pain she had with Tylenol for her last few months.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:44:18 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I couldn't go to visit her because she lived in Canada and I don't have a passport. I can remember when we didn't need a passport to visit Canada.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:44:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I think I'd make the same decision, beyond a certain point. We weren't made for deliberate suffering.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:44:40 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> that wasnt that long ago Bee
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:45:05 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> 9/11
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:45:14 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I have vague memories of day-tripping to Canada as a child
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:45:29 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> From Alabama?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:45:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL, no. My grandparents lived in Michigan at the time.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:45:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I didn't think a passport was needed for Canada, but I suppose that could have changed. It's been 6-8 years since I last went to Canada.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:45:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Dottie was the youngest of us.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:46:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Ah, OK. I wanted your Portal address if it was from Alabama
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:46:06 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We visited Sault Ste. Marie
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:46:08 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> We would day trip to Esendada
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:46:21 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Just needed a drivers liscence back then
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:46:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:46:44 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I could likely drive to Ontario in a day, but that would be an extremely long day of driving.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:46:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Same for Mexico.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:46:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I want an apartment in Rhemuth Castle overlooking the garden. Also a good kick to get me started again so I can finish the fix Ivwas working on. I am determined to get Fiona and Wash betrothed and married
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:47:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Make it at least two days.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:47:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Trust me.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:47:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> We took the ferry acrross to Victoria for the day from Settel
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:47:33 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's about the same distance to the Canadian border from my house as it was for me to drive to Miami when we had family there. FL is a looooonnnng state.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:47:47 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Love Victoria. Lived there for a couple of years
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:48:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Yes, DFK. I am with you on finishing that story. Some time soon
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:48:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Yes, it is loooong.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:48:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Two days if you're sane and wish to remain so, yeah. 😄
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:49:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> We went from Northern Ontario to Melbourne in two days once. Never again!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:49:44 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I was just looking at US-Canada travel. Pretty much passport, but there are other ways (by land: US passport card, cheaper, but only good for a few countries) and a few exceptions.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:50:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I probably need to use my passport again in the next couple of years, since it's due to expire soon, I think.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:51:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> But not until I can walk without pain. Sightseeing isn't worth if if I'm going to have to be cooped up in a hotel.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:51:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I have been meaning to renew mine. sometime soon
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:51:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Do it before it has expired over 15 years, or you have to apply for a new one in person
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:51:57 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I have ordered a passport card (already have a passport) and several original copies of my birth certificate, simply to have proof of citizenship. If you order a passport + passport card at the same time, there's a discount.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:52:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Not a hotel, Revanne's house, and then Jerusha's house and then Evie's house. Love inviting myself everywhere
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:52:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> You are always welcome to come!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:52:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> cool
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:53:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I haven't hada passport sssince the 1980s, when I went to England
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:53:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Though we could all meet up in Wales
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:53:30 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I don't have a birth certificate, which makes getting things like a passport difficult. I have a "Certificate of Live Birth," which is the same thing, but the government has a hard time with it.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:53:40 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Yes we could. And Lize has a 1700's cottege there
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:53:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> @jerusha2 that would be really cool
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:54:08 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'll need to unload the mountain of useless crap that is what used to pass for a guest room first. When my MIL moved back up here full time, my DH brought a bunch of stuff over from there for "temporary storage" that is going on a year or two now, I think.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:54:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Cert of lie birth is the same. Don't know why any authority woul have a problem with that.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:54:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> And when you renew your passport, you can't travel until you get your new one
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:55:01 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> You don't have to move the doll house for me
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:55:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Interesting. Why wouldn't a Certificate of Live Birth count?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:55:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm pretty sure that's what my birth certificate says on it also, and I've never had an issue with mine.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:55:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> It is the same thing. But when I tried to get my Social Security card fixed, they sent me a letter stating I didn't have the proper documentation for it.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:55:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Maybe they need that and something else as well?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:56:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> My mom once had a problem provingshe was U.S. citizen. She was born in Puerto rico.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:56:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Like when I got my name change on my SS card, I had to show my marriage certificate in addition to the birth certificate
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:56:21 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I just did a quick search. I found a suggestion that if a *state* issues a Certificate of Live Birth, it is another name for a Birth Certificate. I don't know what's true without more looking.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:56:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> TM, that's what happened for me. Washington.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:56:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Hospitals can apparently also issue Certificates of Live Birth, but that's just for their record keeping, if the couple of hits I found be true.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:57:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Or if you only sent in a photocopy, sometimes they require a certified official copy
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:57:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> a certificate of live birth generally isn't accepted all the time as a substitute for a birth certificate, depends on the state and government agency in question too
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:57:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> What needed fixing on your SS card? I've ever bothered to change the name on mine, because that's the only number under which I've ever earned a dime. Didn't want to risk confusing them further.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:57:30 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> that is true TM it's sometimes not a state issued document which is why its not accepted in some places
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:58:21 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> KK, back when I was 16, my dad got my SS card for me, and he gave them the wrong birthdate.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:58:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I'm pretty sure being born in the USA still makes you a citizen, but someone wants to change that.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:58:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Fixing that could be tricky
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:58:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I'm slowly beginning to phase out the MacMillan name, since he's been gone a while.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:59:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Evening everyone!

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [7:59:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I figured "add my married name and fix the birth date at the same time." Nope, couldn't do it.

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:01:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Need to go check on laundry and unpile piles to see if I can find my sister's Christmas stocking. So adios and a merry Christmas to all, and to all a good knight. (Note that Duncan McLean is a knight.)
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:01:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Now that you are here. You will have to tell KK your favorite series

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:03:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Not just me writing all by my lonesome anymore, asking Bynw, "Please, mister, can we have a fanfic section?" 😄
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:03:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Evie inspired us all.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:03:57 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Marc loves the Templer books. we are working on getting him into the Deryni books.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:04:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes, he started the Deryni books. We just need to throw others at him now
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:04:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> I finished the first trilogy and liked it. I'm a little overwhelmed by the enormity of the series as a whole, but in an admiring way
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:04:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> You got as far as, what, High Deryni?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:04:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Yep!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:04:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Just read them one trilogy at a time. They're more manageable that way
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:04:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yeah
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:05:18 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Yep having read them as they were found in the book stores.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:05:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> KK has said no more trilogies.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:05:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> The funny thing is the more Deryni books I read, the more I want to read medieval histories and then the more I write in forgotten shadows and it's something of a happy but vicious cycle then
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:05:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Personally, since you started with Kelson, I'd read all the Kelson books first, then read all the lovely backstory stuff in Camber's time and immediately following. But have Kleenex on hand when reading those.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:05:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Go for it, marc
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:06:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Even so, he's got a lot of catching up to do with the ones that are already written.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:06:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Oh dear. My delicate heart cannae take it
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:06:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> You're made of strong stuff. We believe in you. 😉

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:07:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> When asked, I usually recommend reading the Deryni stuff in the order it was written.

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:08:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Are you well, KK?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:09:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I finally cheated last week and read the end of *Bastard Prince* and *King Javan's Year.* I don't think my heard could have handled reading them the way you're supposed to read them.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:09:30 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good for you Nezz

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:09:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> In reading Pawns and Queens I love the references to Kelson the Great. And then there is St Duncan. Need to know how that happened
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:09:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> And you are still here.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:10:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> So do I. 😉
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:10:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Yes St Duncan was a wonderful surprise
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:10:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I am. And now I can finally read the rest of those books.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:10:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I am. New Knee #2 is doing fine--just have to keep working on Sit-to-Stand--and am seriously working on balance issues.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:10:35 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Especially to Duncan!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:10:57 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Great to Hear that KK
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:11:08 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Our prayers are answered 🙂
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:11:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> You still have balance problems, KK?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:11:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I often practice balancing by just standing there and doing my stork impersonation.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:11:18 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I need to work on balance issues too, but first it would be lovely just to manage standing without feeling like I've got nails hammered into each heel
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I have not been able to stand on one foot since the day I was born
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:12:06 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> What is the diagnosis, Evie?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:12:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Plantar fasciitis in both feet
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:12:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> What do they recommend to fix this?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:12:38 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've been doing all the recommended stuff, it's just being really slow to heal
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:12:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Yikes to BOTH feet. I had it in one foot and it took like 5 months to go away
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:12:40 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Any idea how that happened, Evie?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:12:50 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> We all have our gifts. There are tradeoffs, usually. You are a hugely talented writer, for example!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:13:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Aw shucks, Marc! Thank you
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:13:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Must be something they can do for that plantar fasciitis. I have heard that arch supports from the Good Feet store really help
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:13:35 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> No idea. It came on gradually back in September, and I suspect a favorite pair of shoes I was wearing at the time, since it was worse when I wore those shoes, even when I wore special inserts meant to help with plantar fasciitis.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:13:38 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> When the feet can not dance, then let the Fingers Dance On
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:15:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Throw out those shoes, Evie, or at least give them to Goodwill. Though that might give someone else foot problems.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:15:29 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> I hope you all stay strong. We are all rooting for each other, I think.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:15:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oh yeah, I've got inserts from multiple brands (different ones seem to work better in different shoes or slippers), plus special braces that are meant to stretch the arch ligament to help alleviate the pain, plus special compression socks made especially for the problem, plus exercises given to me by a doctor, plus applying ice to it, etc. ALL the recommended things. It's just <clipped messag
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:15:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> slow to heal. I think it's going to be like when I had the frozen shoulder due to a torn ligament, and that took half a year to heal. Ligaments just heal very slowly.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:16:06 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> After my foot trouble I tossed away the shoes and just got a nice pair of slip on tennies for everyday. that helped
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:16:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Yes we are!!!!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:16:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yeah, I haven't worn those in at least a month
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:16:33 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> I am guilty of something similar. I recently wrenched my back for half of a week by wearing a jacket I haven't worn since I was a size smaller. "To goodwill with it!" I said. Hopefully someone smaller likes it.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:16:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Even with foot problems, I can't talk myself into getting rid of all my sandals.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:16:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I swore off any kind of high heel or low heel ages ago
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:17:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> me too
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:17:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Yep, never any more high heels for me. Falling off one's shoes is not good.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:17:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I have a pair of sandals that has decent arch support built in, but this problem didn't start until the weather was already getting too cool for them
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:17:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Saddly I can not wear any heal at all anymore. and to think I lived in high heals most my younger years
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:18:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I had a favorite pair of green high heels in high school (no pun intended)
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:18:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've never been able to wear high heels. The highest I ever managed was a 2" heel when I was in my very young 20s, but by my 30s I was wearing flats only, or a 1" heel at best.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:18:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> My mom and sister worked in a shoe store, so my mom was always bringing home shoes for me, including heels
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:19:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> High school was 4 inch spikes. and I fell down a stair case in them at school. but hat did not stop me
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:19:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I gave up on heels before I was out of high school for the most part.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:19:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Ouch!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:19:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I figured I was most of 5'9" in my bare feet, I didn't need any help.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:19:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Yeah, 2" was always my limit, and usually lower.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:19:47 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I decided a long time ago that if God wanted me taller he would have made me that way. Heels are murder on feet. I once cared for a lady having surgery because she had worn heels so long she could no longer put her heel on the floor
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:20:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I am 5' 8" and I loved my 4 inch heals.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:20:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I can't even stand in higher than a 2" heel unless there's a platform under the ball of the foot (my beloved 90s-redux loafers and my black ankle boots).
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:20:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Not anymore
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:20:41 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The rest of the time, though, I am just not a high heels kinda gal.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:20:47 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I had a nice pair of Naturalizer shoes with 1" heels that were very comfortable (padded soles helped), but for some reason I managed to trip twice in one week while wearing them and landed hard on my knees both times, which messed them up for a while, so I have never quite trusted wearing those ever since, and now they are too small at any rate.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:20:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I am 5'2" and perfectly happy there
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:21:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:21:18 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The t-strap pumps I bought to wear for the Pod-Child's wedding (in part because she wanted a vintage vibe and in part because I love a good t-strap pump) have about 1.75" heels.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:21:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> I always got a laugh out of the "secret boots" item in an old game that make the male protagonist even taller 😆 because boots are the heels of the male world
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:21:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Men wore heels before women did anyway.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:21:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> True!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:21:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> And pointed toes
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:21:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I've shrunk fro f'4" to f'3"
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:21:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Look at the shoes in portraiture before about the early 1800s
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:21:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I was also just about 5'8 & 3/4", but now am 5'5", according to my doctor's office. I think it's really more like 5'6", but that's still a shocking amount of height to lose.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:22:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm right at 5
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:22:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> FOUND MY SISTER'S CHRISTMAS STOCKING

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:22:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> What the hell it was doing in a Sheraton Kauai bag (reused, since we didn't take it to Hawaii), with half a power cord, in a disused trash can, in my dining room, I don't know.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:22:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I'm still going back to sorting stuff. If nothing else, I want to inventory my masks & put them in a storage box. I was sick a few days ago (maybe still?), and respiratory diseases continue, and Lord have mercy upon us with bird flu, ...
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:22:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I'm pretty sure I'm still 5'7"
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:22:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm right at 5'8" now, but in my younger years, I was 5'8.75".
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:22:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I hope the hieght loss is not from the knees
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:22:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Pointed toes in shoes are worse than the heels. End up with all kinds of toe problems
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:23:06 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I don't do pointed toes.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:23:08 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> I can't afford to lose any height 😅
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:23:21 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Probably not unless they chopped both knees off and just attached the femur to the lower leg bones. 😄
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:23:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> No, Laurna. It's from the weight of accumulated knowledge
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:23:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> OOCH
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:23:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I think height loss comes from the spine.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:23:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Or maybe I can

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:23:50 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Round, square, or at the closest, "almond" toe shape, which works okay for me because my third, fourth, and fifth toes are increasingly shorter than my first and second.

[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:27:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I love the classic LMB advice for writers. "What is the worst thing that can happen to your character? Write that. See how he reacts. Lather, rinse, repeat." 😄
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:27:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> The world of the Deryni is a truly fascinating one. Nobody but KK could have done it.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:28:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I can't balance on one foot. I can do both feet together, and almost heel to to, with a bit of overlap, but lucky to get 30 seconds. Very frustrating.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:29:00 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> In addition to the medieval history based worldbuilding, I really like the take on how magic works. The more psionic approach rather than just bippety-boppety-boo magic, I mean.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:29:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Do you have something at around waist level that you can hold on to while working on building up strength in your ankles to improve balance?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:29:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> "What is the worst thing that can happen to your character?" Other than me writing fanfic about them? 😁
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:30:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My characters say that constantly, TM 😉
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:30:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> All of us writing fanfic about them
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:30:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> About me, that is. They might welcome YOU writing about them.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:30:40 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Who was it that defined magic as "change brought about by will"?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:30:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Well, yes. Bippety-boppety could never work in real life. Psi-originating--maybe.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:30:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Evie, mine too!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:30:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] * bynw running a game with them
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:31:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> I've gushed about her various magicks before. Maybe another time 😁
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:31:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yes, allowing Bynw to run a game for the characters is a pretty rotten thing to do to them
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:31:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> He can be very kind, in a nefarious kind of way....
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:31:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> So far we're all in one piece
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:31:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I tend to think of Deryni ritual magic as focus + intent + will = result
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:32:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> With the ritual serving as an aid to focus
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:32:19 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Let's hold on to that thought.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:32:35 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Being in one piece is generally optimal
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:32:44 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> On that note, I must toddle off. Have a Merry Christmas, everyone!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:32:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Merry Christmas!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:32:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Merry Christmas!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:01 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oh, is the next chat a Zoom chat?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Here's hoping you all stay that way
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:14 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Or what date is next Sunday?
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> cya Jerusha
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Merry Christmas
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Nighters, and my no coal make its way into your Christmas stocking!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:21 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Thank you, DFK
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Merry Christmas, Jerusha
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> 29th
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oh wait, that's just the 29th, so I guess Zoom would be the following weekend
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:33:57 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> December 29
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I think it's the fifth
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I need to toddle off as well. Need to eat something before I start gnawing on the cat, which she would not enjoy. Nor would I, with fur stuck in my teeth.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> No, please don't chew on Daphne
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Daphne might very well take offense at that
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:30 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> yeah too much fur gnawing on a cat
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:30 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Have a wonderful Christmas, all, and see you next week!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:33 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> blaaaah
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Good night, KK! Merry Christmas!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And don't do what my DS tried as an infant and attempt to nurse on the cat either.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> have a great Christmas everyone
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> cya KK, Merry Christmas
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:34:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> bye KK. Cuddle, Daphne, don't eat her.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:35:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Jan 5 for Zoom meeting
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:35:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Though DS got payback several years later when Kitten Gigi tried to nurse on him instead
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:35:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Merry Christmas Happy Hannukah
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:35:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of violet sparkles. (And what is this recent use of Transfer Portals by football teams? Do they know something we don't?)
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:35:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Merry Christmas
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:36:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Might KK Have. A lovely Christmas
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:36:50 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I heard an interesting christmas factoid. The orange in your stocking is for good boys and girls because they already know how to share
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:36:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> G'night, KK, merry Christmas!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:36:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'll be scouting those gridirons for portal signatures
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:37:29 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> The cool in the stocking is for bad little boys and girls so that they can give that cool back to the family as a whole to keep them warm for the winter and thus learn to share
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:37:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Think I will sign off now. Merry Christmas to all and to all Goodnight
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:37:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Bye, DFK
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:37:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> night DFK, and Merry Christams
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:38:00 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> night DFK, and Merry Christmas
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:38:05 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Me too. But Merry Christmas, one and all!
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:38:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Merry Christmas
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:38:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I might have something for everyone's Christmas stocking later this week
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:38:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Nice
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:38:35 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> So check the forum
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:39:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I am mostly done with all my holiday chores so I can sit back and relax now
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:39:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Except for making fudge
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:39:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I did most of mine yesterday and today.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:40:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Laurna, do I get some fudge since I live just up the street from you? 😉
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:40:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> You can drop it by anytime
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:40:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I still have all my wrapping left to do, but I just have a few side dishes to fix on Christmas Day, and Mom decided she wants to do a dinner rather than lunch get-together, so that gives more time to prepare
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:40:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I still need to wrap gifts, but as we're combining Christmas and New Year's festivities this year (the Pod-Child is an ER nurse and has to work Xmas Eve and Day), it's not wildly urgent.
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:40:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Portal on by any time
[Sunday, December 22, 2024] [8:40:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> My brother is picking me up tomorrow to take me to Vermont.
