[17:51] <JastaElf> hi ann
[17:51] <Mistyck> hiyas Ann
[17:52] <Ghostgames> I just heard the news about Pat, was wondering if
anyone was here....
[17:52] <JastaElf> I imagine there will be more as the evening goes on
[17:52] <Mistyck> yep
[17:54] <Jessie> just checking to see if I've been peered again
[17:55] <JastaElf> Nope, you're still here!
[17:56] <Jessie> :-)
[17:57] <JastaElf> Well, from what I heard, Pat went quietly in her
sleep; she had the last rites and all.
[17:58] <JastaElf> Which is a lovely blessing, but dammit, I'm gonna
miss her. :-(
[17:58] <Mistyck> at least she's not in pain anymore
[17:58] <JastaElf> True.
[18:00] <Mistyck> we will all miss her. She was a very kind and gentle
person
[18:00] <JastaElf> *nods*

sent etc.?
[18:10] <Jessie> I don't think that is set yet
[18:11] <RainbowDragon> okay
[18:11] <Jessie> or that was the last I heart
[18:11] <Jessie> heard
[18:13] <JastaElf> Nothing's been decided yet; Kathi still needs to
find the will and get any last requests dealt with
[18:13] <RainbowDragon> *nods*

Roettger.
[18:36] <RainbowDragon> Jasta, if I send you a pic of wrengl, will you
know its from me and not some spam? should I mention her name in the
subject line?
[18:36] * Jessie Quit
[18:36] <JastaElf> By all means mention her name, sweetie. It should
go through, I don't have a studly spam filter

[18:37] <Jessie> thankee
[18:38] ***<JastaElf> OK folks, I've heard from Kathi. There are some
things we can do.
[18:38] <RainbowDragon> the picture is on its way, Jasta
[18:39] <JastaElf> Thanks sweetie!
[18:39] ***<JastaElf> Kathi is facing 5K of funeral costs. Alone. I
asked if she would allow her friends to help. She said yes.
[18:40] <Jessie> where & how to send $
[18:40] <Jessie> paypal?
[18:40] <JastaElf> I have an address, hang on a sec
[18:40] <Jessie> or to an individual?
[18:40] <TheDeryni> Paypal?
[18:40] <JastaElf> To her directly is probably best.
[18:40] <ambush> i'm going to help her some with some of my financial
aid
[18:41] ***<JastaElf> Ms. Kathi S* (note: address has been deleted for
privacy reasons. In order to send cards and/or donations, please
contact jastaelf @ yahoo . com for contact info. -RD)
[18:41] <JastaElf> PLEASE do NOT call the house tho, or drop by; she
really, seriously needs her privacy right now.
[18:41] <ambush> i have a good bit coming, so if it will help her, i
will gladly send it
[18:43] <Jessie> have the envelope printed -- will go in the mail
tomorrow
[18:43] ***<JastaElf> Also, she would like y'all to know that she plans
on asking permission to hold a memorial service at Darkovercon in
November.
[18:44] ***<JastaElf> She asks that we start contemplating and jotting
notes for what would be fun, loving, and nice to do for that.
[18:44] <Jessie> how about the DeryniCon they are planning on ABD
[18:45] <JastaElf> Dunno about that; she might have forgotten that, and
I confess I had too.
[18:46] <JastaElf> And please say a quick prayer, light a candle,
whatever... she's headed over to pick Pat up from the hospital. :-(
[18:47] <Jessie> oh huggles to Kathi
[18:47] <JastaElf> And you KNOW that's gonna be hard. :-(
[18:47] <TheDeryni> Please God give her strength.
[18:47] <RainbowDragon> I know she has friends that live just down the
street. I hope she has them go with her.
[18:47] <JastaElf> Her plans are to have Pat's remains cremated--and
this may lift some spirits: she will make the urn herself, and take the
ashes to Australia as soon as she can afford to. Pat will become One
with the land she loved so.
[18:48] <JastaElf> Oh, they will, RD. They love her dearly and will
help her out. :-)
[18:48] <JastaElf> They're good folks.
[18:48] <RainbowDragon> good good
[18:48] <JastaElf> So... those are Kathi's instructions to us. Keep
the prayers coming, think about memorial ideas, and hold a good
thought.
[18:49] <TheDeryni> ok
[18:49] <JastaElf> And please... if you can even spare a couple bucks,
please help her out. Those costs are shamefully high... :-(
[18:49] <JastaElf> She didn't ask; I asked her if I could ask on her
behalf.
[18:49] <JastaElf> And she said yes.
[18:50] <RainbowDragon> I'm totally blown away that a cremation would
cost $5,000 though. Wow!
[18:50] * Kelos_al-Hazar thinks that's a serious gouging...
[18:52] <Mistyck> it is very expensive
[18:52] ***<JastaElf> Folks, PLEASE do not send Kathi's address around
publicly either. If someone wants to contribute, please ask them to
send me a note and ask for the address.
[18:52] <Mistyck> I remember from when my mother passed away
[18:53] <TheDeryni> NYC is expensive for that stuff.
[18:53] <TheDeryni> Actually everywhere.
[18:54] <Mistyck> brb

for Wrengl?
[19:15] <Bynw> Martine did Kim's page

[19:36] <Kelric> I have been summoned
[19:36] <RainbowDragon> Wrengl passed away this morning :-(
[19:36] <RainbowDragon> I thought you'd like to know
[19:36] <Kelric> ouch.
[19:37] <JastaElf> {{{hugs}}}
[19:37] * Ghostgames Quit (Quit: Oops. This machine just fell asleep)
[19:37] <Kelric> I'm going to be in that same boat sometime in the next

angels be with her!
[19:42] <RainbowDragon> Kel, Jasta is gonna make a memorial page for
Wrengl if you happen to have any pictures of her you'd like to
contribute. I don't know if you took any at the darkovers you attended
[19:43] * Jessie Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[19:43] <Festil> brb
[19:43] * Festil Quit
[19:45] <Kelos[AFK]> I'll have to check. I think I have one or two.
[19:45] <Kelric> I've never been to Darkover. This last one was the
first one I contemplated going to since I was much closer to it than
before.
[19:46] <Kelric> on a more positive note, I just interviewed for a 10
week internship at one of the local libraries today.
[19:47] * Jessie has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[19:47] <DeryniBot> The smell from Wrengl's kitchen draws Jessie into

[19:47] <Kelric> I'll find out on Friday if I got either the internship
for the spring block (Feb-mid April) or the Summer block
[19:47] * Kelos[AFK] will return a bit later...
[19:47] * Kelos[AFK] Quit
[19:47] <RainbowDragon> I'll keep my fingers crossed for you
[19:47] * Bynw glues Jessie down
[19:48] <Kelric> Hmmm. I need advice for an eventual assignment for my
Reader's advisory class.
[19:49] <RainbowDragon> KK's works? *grin*
[19:50] <Kelric> I need to annotate and possibly give a booktalk on
several different subjects. One of those subjects is Fantasy. Which
Deryni book would be best to use as a "black hole" point
[19:50] <RainbowDragon> black hole?
[19:52] <RainbowDragon> ahhhh, you mean to suck in new victims... err
fans?
[19:53] * TheDeryni is now known as TD-Dinner
[19:53] <RainbowDragon> I like the original trilogy, myself
[19:53] <TD-Dinner> Be right back
[19:53] <Bynw> yeah i would use Deryni Rising
[19:53] * Jessie Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[19:53] <Bynw> its a good intro book ... can stand alone without the
rest of its trilogy and not fill like you are missing anything
[19:54] <ambush> i like quest
[19:54] <ambush> or
[19:54] <ambush> kkb
[19:54] <TD-Dinner> That's why I like CoC instead
[19:54] * Jessie has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[19:54] <DeryniBot> The smell from Wrengl's kitchen draws Jessie into
the chat.
[19:54] <Bynw> quest and kkb builds on all the books before them though
[19:55] <Bynw> CoC might be ok but I would go with DR first
[19:55] <ambush> thens tbh
[19:57] <Jessie> I missed what is considered a black hole
[19:57] * RainbowDragon wonders where samuel is tonight
[19:58] <Jessie> Sam had plans for dinner with friends
[19:58] <RainbowDragon> ah okay
[19:58] <Ghostgames> Something that sucks (new) fans into a series. :-)
[19:59] <RainbowDragon> Jessie: Kelric wanted a suggestion for a KK
book to suggest to his Reader's Advisory class
[19:59] <RainbowDragon> to "suck them in" therefore "black hole"
[20:00] <Jessie> I think the first: Deryni Rising
[20:01] <Bynw> ditto
[20:01] <Jessie> none of the others would have sucked me so completely
into the world
[20:01] <Jessie> in fact -- about the first 10 pages of Deryni Rising
-- with Morgan's attitude did it for me
[20:02] <JastaElf> I would agree with that
[20:02] <Kelric> heh.
[20:02] <Ghostgames> <nods>
[20:03] * Bynw waves to Ghostgames
[20:03] <Kelric> one of the big 10 page papers is to select a
book/series that has had an impact since it was written and look at all
the aspects of that.
[20:03] <ambush> true
[20:04] <Kelric> for that big paper I'm hitting a series that has a
quite a bit of material I can look through and I have big rant that I
can put in there that actually would fit in the paper.
[20:04] <Jessie> so -- the first 3
[20:05] <Kelric> I think I'll be able to get 10 pages on the Chronicles
of Narnia.
[20:05] <Kelric> I could very well do my other paper as a big booktalk
about all of KK
[20:05] <Kelric> 's works
[20:06] <Kelric> lesse. we have all the Deryni books, the 5 adept
books, Lammas Night, the Legacy of Lehr, St. Patrick's Gargoyle and
what else?
[20:08] <Mistyck> The Templar books
[20:09] <Mistyck> The Chronicles of The Deryni made a huge impact on
the fantasy world--Katherine was the first "adult fantasy" author to be
publised
[20:09] * Jessie Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[20:09] <Mistyck> *published
[20:09] <Kelric> I didn't realizethat.

[20:11] <DeryniBot> Hi there Samuel! Welcome to the chat.
[20:11] <RainbowDragon> Hi Sam
[20:11] <Samuel> hello all
[20:12] <TD-Dinner> hi sam
[20:12] <Bynw> hi sam
[20:12] <Samuel> how's everyone holding up?
[20:13] <RainbowDragon> sad but here
[20:13] <Mistyck> hi sam
[20:13] <Ghostgames> I just wanted to be "with" other people who knew
Pat when I found out.
[20:14] <Samuel> Ann: I totally understand.....
[20:14] <JastaElf> *nods*
[20:14] <Samuel> As soon as I got the phone call, my instincts were to
log on here.
[20:14] * Bynw gives a group hug
[20:15] * ambush waves to ghostgames
[20:16] <RainbowDragon> thank you for posting to the newsgroup, Sam
[20:16] <Samuel> you're welcome. Kathi asked me to do it. I think
she's going to put up a bit more when she has time to figure out how.
[20:18] <RainbowDragon> if and when she's desirous of folks to chat
with, she'd be more than welcome to come here for emotional support
[20:19] <Mistyck> of course..
[20:19] <Samuel> I'm just so sorry that words failed me when I posted.
I really do wish I could have said more.
[20:20] <JastaElf> {{{hugs}}} it's OK, hon. I know Kathi and Pat
understand--and Lord knows, we do too.
[20:21] <JastaElf> I have their address if you need it; Kathi is going
to need whatever assistance we can give her, to cover funeral costs.
[20:21] * TD-Dinner is now known as TheDeryni
[20:21] <JastaElf> And in a few weeks when the first flush of grief
passes... she will be lonely and need an occasional note.
[20:21] <JastaElf> That's the way it always goes. :-(
[20:24] <Mistyck> yes it is Jasta
[20:25] <RainbowDragon> thats the main reason I hope she will make her
way here too, especially on Sundays with all the people available
[20:26] <JastaElf> Unfortunately, grief being what it is... we all want
to DO something to help when it first happens. It's human nature.
[20:26] <JastaElf> Then we move on... and sometimes we don't. :-(
[20:26] <JastaElf> RD, I'll try to talk her into it--but she's very
low-tech, is our Kathi. It will take some doing.
[20:26] <RainbowDragon> okay
[20:27] <JastaElf> She'll need someone on-site to set it up, show her
how to log in, and get her to use it. But hopefully we'll be able to
do that. :-)
[20:28] <RainbowDragon> just tell her to go to
http://www.deryni.net/chat/ at first. All she has to do is type in her
name and click the log in button
[20:29] <RainbowDragon> then later, if she wants to keep coming, we'll
set her up with mirc
[20:31] <JastaElf> *nods* I didn't know about the first instance; I'll
let her know how to do that.
[20:32] * Jessie has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[20:32] <DeryniBot> Hi there Jessie! Welcome to the chat.
[20:32] <Mistyck> that will be the easiest and fastest way if she does
want to chat with folks here
[20:33] <Bynw> i've got her
[20:33] <RainbowDragon> hmmm?
[20:34] <JastaElf> Got her who, Bynw?
[20:35] <Bynw> Kathi
[20:35] <JastaElf> Got her... in what sense?
[20:35] <Bynw> to try the java chat in a few minutes
[20:36] <RainbowDragon> oh good!
[20:36] <JastaElf> Cool...
[20:40] * bereft has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[20:40] <DeryniBot> Hi there bereft! Welcome to the chat.
[20:40] <JastaElf> {{{hugs}}}
[20:41] * Bynw huggles bereft
[20:41] * ambush tackle-pounces bereft
[20:41] * TheDeryni Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[20:41] <bereft> I presume you can all guess who has joined you
[20:41] <RainbowDragon> Kathi!
[20:41] <JastaElf> Yes, Kathi, we can... much love to you hon!
[20:41] * Jessie Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[20:41] <ambush> mhmm
[20:41] <Ghostgames> <big hug>
[20:41] <RainbowDragon> {{{ HUG }}}
[20:42] * Bynw sets mode: +o JastaElf
[20:42] <Mistyck> (((hug)))
[20:42] <Samuel> Hello Kathi
[20:42] <Bynw> see its easy wasnt it Kathi :-)
[20:42] <ambush> living with Bynw, he told me n' tika
[20:42] <bereft> I do not know what to say. I thank you all for
inviting me in. I have never been in a chatroom before
[20:42] <JastaElf> :-) First time for everything.
[20:42] <RainbowDragon> we are all here for you
[20:43] <JastaElf> We just want you to know we're thinking of you and
sending good vibes and stuff...
[20:43] <Mistyck> then welcome and know you have a huge support group
[20:43] <bereft> Thank you. I am so frustrated right now, trying to
find things and getting nowhere. The diversion is helpful
[20:43] * Jessie has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[20:43] <DeryniBot> Jessie enters the chat as RainbowDragon passes
around a plate of cheese.
[20:43] * TheDeryni has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[20:43] <DeryniBot> TheDeryni enters the chat as RainbowDragon passes
around a plate of cheese.
[20:44] <JastaElf> In time it'll all work out somehow, hon. {{{hugs}}}
[20:44] <RainbowDragon> we want you to know that you are among friends
here, Kathi
[20:44] <TheDeryni> I'm very sorry, Kathi.
[20:44] <bereft> If Pat were here, she would be passing around the
bottle of McAlan's 25 we keep in the fridge
[20:45] * ambush huggles kathi
[20:45] <Ghostgames> I'll drink some virtual McAlan's -- even though I
don't know what it is. :-)
[20:45] <RainbowDragon> she was also fond of handing out pig's ears
too!
[20:46] <JastaElf> :-)
[20:46] <Ghostgames> My dogs'll partake of those. ;-)
[20:46] <Kelric> <<huggle>>
[20:46] * JastaElf hands out the pig ears...
[20:46] <bereft> It is very nice single malt scotch, preferred by Scott
Mc Millan
[20:46] * Mistyck takes one
[20:46] <ambush> scott is evil
[20:46] <JastaElf> Yes, but he's OUR evil. :-)
[20:46] <Mistyck> very true Jasta :-)
[20:46] <bereft> Scott has excellent taste. Look who he married
[20:47] <ambush> he suggested i be let try some
[20:47] <JastaElf> I have a lovely bottle that Kimmy and Cole gave me
for doing their wedding...
[20:47] * JastaElf loves that bottle
[20:47] <ambush> i love mcalan now
[20:47] <Ghostgames> I don't have any pigs' ears on hand, but I /do/
have "piggy slivers" (bits of ears) -- just gave one to each of my dogs
in Pat's memory.
[20:47] <Ghostgames> They'll be gone in about 2 minutes (the piggy
slivers, that is)...
[20:47] <JastaElf> Aww! I'm sure that made her smile!
[20:47] <bereft> It is easy to love, but it is a case of one shot, two
shots. three shots, floor
[20:48] <JastaElf> Because I'm equally sure she's watching us right
now... :-)
[20:48] <Mistyck> :-)
[20:48] <Ghostgames> My dogs sure are smiling. :-)
[20:48] <TheDeryni>
[20:48] <JastaElf> Not if you have cast-iron guts like I do, darlin'.
:-)
[20:48] <bereft> Oh, yeah, and I am sure McAlan's is served in heaven.
[20:48] <Mistyck> most definitely!
[20:48] <Ghostgames> Usually they only get pigs' ears (or slivers) when
we're leaving them alone in the house.
[20:49] <ambush> 1/2 bottle 60 proof vodka, 3 shots
[20:49] <JastaElf> It had better be served there.
[20:49] <ambush> try that
[20:49] * JastaElf takes her meds with coconut rum. :-)
[20:49] <bereft> According to Scottish folklore, when the kegs are put
up to age, they are full, but when they are tapped, many years later,
there is less fluid in the barrels. It is said that the missing
portion is taken by the angels.
[20:50] <JastaElf> Ooo! Luckly angels!
[20:50] <bereft> blotto angels, too
[20:50] <JastaElf> lol!!
[20:50] <Mistyck> :-)
[20:50] <Samuel> Jasta: not really lucky angels... have you ever
tasted raw whiskey?
[20:50] <Ghostgames> Not the fey?
[20:50] <JastaElf> Air traffic control to God, there's an angel here
who wants a... SPITFIRE?? ARMED??
[20:50] <bereft> Why do you think there is so much singing in heaven?
[20:50] <Mistyck>
[20:50] <JastaElf> Yes, Sam, I have. And I love it. *g*
[20:51] <ambush>
[20:51] * JastaElf has a bottle of everclear in the freezer from a real
still, right this moment...
[20:52] <bereft> that is bad stuff. it can grow hair on the palms of
your hands.
[20:52] <JastaElf> *grins* Ay-yuh....
[20:52] * JastaElf is bad stuff too...
[20:52] <ambush> i had a hangover from hell last saturday
[20:53] <bereft> Never mind, we were all busy raising a glass to the
memory of a dear friend.
[20:53] <ambush> had a party
[20:53] * JastaElf raises her glass
[20:53] <bereft> We are going to have a party at Darkover this year,
and I am bringing Pat's ashes, so she won't miss it.
[20:54] <Mistyck> :-)
[20:54] <RainbowDragon> thats a neat idea
[20:54] <JastaElf> To Pat Nolan: here's to her, who's like her? Damned
few...
[20:54] * TheDeryni raises his glass
[20:54] <Mistyck> to pat!
[20:54] * Kelric raises his glass
[20:54] <ambush> to pat!
[20:54] <Kelric> this year I will make darkover for sure.
[20:54] <Bynw> to pat!
[20:55] <TheDeryni> to pat!
[20:55] <JastaElf> To a true warrior, a true lady, one of our best
beloved crazy persons... may she fill her dance card this night with
all manner of Confederate heroes, airmen from all wars, and Aussies!
[20:55] <bereft> Good, The Rampant Lion Pub will only be open in the
evenings, because I have to sit in the dealer's room by day, unless
someone wants to volunteer to play host for me.
[20:55] <Jessie> :-)
[20:55] <Ghostgames> Hangovers are one reason why I don't drink. 1/2
glass of wine and I'm out of it -- with headaches for days afterwards.
[20:56] * JastaElf bows: your Bouncer would be honoured to serve,
ma'am....
[20:56] <Jessie> Kathi: if I'm there I'll take it during the day
[20:56] <Ghostgames> But I can drink virtual licker. ;-)
[20:56] <Mistyck> I'm sure someone can do that for you Kathi
[20:56] <Ghostgames> To Pat! <raises glass>
[20:56] <ambush> I'll take a turn
[20:56] <bereft> You need to add some 7-up to your consumption. 7-up
was invented as a hangover cure.
[20:56] <Mistyck> and I'm sure we can all pitch in to help you out at
the booth also
[20:57] <bereft> Well, I will only have my jewelry this year, unless
Tika sends me more candles.
[20:57] <JastaElf> I knew I liked 7-Up for a reason.... *g*
[20:58] <bereft> I might actually have something for the art show this
year, if I can get my act together better.
[20:58] <ambush> we'll try to bring candles, kathi
[20:58] <JastaElf> That would be cool! on both levels: art AND act!
[20:59] <JastaElf> I look forward to having my own act together too,
someday...
[20:59] <Mistyck> yep and it will bring happy memories
[20:59] <bereft> really, it would.
[20:59] <JastaElf> :-)
[21:00] <bereft> Isn't it amazing how many people can fall into chat
when there is nothing on TV but the president?
[21:00] <ambush> ok,tia says yes to candles if we go
[21:00] <Mistyck> yes it is
[21:01] <Ghostgames> With Replay TV (or TIVO) there's lots on TV (just
finished watching the latest episode of "Heroes")
[21:01] <ambush> we might send em anyway
[21:01] <bereft> Goodie. People here on the east coast are finally
getting into the concept of Soy candles instead of parafin
[21:01] <Mistyck> and RD is usually here every evening and many of us
stop by for at least a while in the evenings
[21:01] <TheDeryni> yep
[21:01] <bereft> One of my selling points on them is the fact that if
your dog eats it, you do not have to call poison control.
[21:02] <Mistyck> :-)
[21:02] <Jessie> my dog ate my couch -- but they've never tried eating
candles
[21:02] <Mistyck> I'm burning the lavender one right now
[21:02] <bereft> That also holds true for the folks with toddlers who
seem to put everything in their mouths
[21:03] <Mistyck> or cats who think it's neat to nibble on
[21:03] <Ghostgames> Our dog Barney once chewed up 2 shot glasses on
the couch....
[21:03] <Mistyck> ouch!
[21:03] <Ghostgames> He never ate any candles, that I was aware of.
[21:03] <Ghostgames> A whole chicken, yup!
[21:04] <bereft> Cats do not get into candle wax, it is the flame that
intrigues them,
[21:04] <Ghostgames> Half an apple pie that was cooling on the stove --
while we were eating Christmas Dinner less than 6 feet away... :-)
[21:04] <bereft> Rule one in my house has always been to never set the
cat on fire, so we do not burn candles.
[21:05] <Mistyck> a very good rule
[21:05] <bereft> We have had the occasional trip across the stovetop
resulting in burnt tails and whiskers, so open flames are not a good
thing.
[21:05] * JastaElf loves apple pie. :-)
[21:06] <bereft> You could buy apple pie candles and have your house
smell delicious. The only drawback is the fact that you get a Jones for
the doggone pie, and it is only a candle.
[21:06] * RainbowDragon is now known as RD_away
[21:06] <Mistyck> Mika nibbled on one of the peach votives when she was
still just a kitten...I guess the fragrance enticed her--but then, she
likes to nibble on plastic grocery bags too
[21:07] <JastaElf> LOL! Jonesing for pie... hmm... I may be there
already...
[21:07] <bereft> I had a cat that loved donuts, so I can't say
anything. Tompkins was a fiend for Dunkin Donuts jelly crullers.
[21:07] <Mistyck>
[21:08] <JastaElf> Good taste...
[21:08] <bereft> He once ate the entire top off a poundcake when Pat's
mother was expecting company.
[21:08] <Ghostgames> Paul got me a bunch of chocolate-scented candles
-- as in chocolate cake, fudge marble cake, chocolate mint...
[21:09] <Ghostgames> Makes me hungry when I have them lit while taking
a long, hot soak.
[21:09] <bereft> Now, that is evil
[21:09] <Ghostgames> He didn't realize he was being evil at the time.
[21:09] <Ghostgames> (at least, I don't /think/ he realized it....)
[21:10] <bereft> I want to find peppermint scented candles. They
stimulate your energy and make you more productive
[21:10] <JastaElf> Always a happy thing.
[21:10] <JastaElf> Peppermint tea will do that too--as well as settle
your tummy!
[21:10] <Ghostgames> I need to find some, too, then!
[21:10] <bereft> Not when you are trying to sleep. Then, you want
lavender scented candles
[21:11] <JastaElf> Well, yes.
[21:11] <Ghostgames> I think I've become mildly allergic to lavendar.
Not the scent, but if we have lavender-scented soap or laundry
detergent I break out in hives....
[21:11] <JastaElf> Speaking of sleep... I have to head to bed. :-( 5
AM comes awfully damned early...
[21:11] <Mistyck>
[21:12] <ambush> we'll try to find some peppermint fragrance oil for
ya, kathi
[21:12] <Jessie> bye all -- I have an early morning tomorrow
[21:12] <Jessie> huggles Kathi
[21:12] <JastaElf> night Jessie!
[21:12] * Jessie Quit
[21:12] <Mistyck> take care JastaElf and Jessie
[21:12] <Ghostgames> I gotta go, too. Paul's gone to bed and has left
the cats and dogs to me... He's on a new regimen at the gym and can
hardly walk!
[21:12] <Mistyck> take care Ann
[21:12] <Ghostgames> Hang in there, Kathi! We're all thinking of you!
[21:12] <JastaElf> Call me if you need me, Kathi... and take care!
[21:12] <Ghostgames> Good night, all.
[21:13] * Ghostgames Quit (Quit: Ghostgames mounts her ghostly steed
and rides off into the night.)
[21:13] <Bynw> night all who are heading out
[21:13] <JastaElf> See you all soon, I hope!
[21:13] <bereft> Good night, everyone, and thank you for all your
support
[21:13] * JastaElf hugs Kathi, toasts Pat yet again, and disappears in
a cloud of cavalry dust....
[21:13] <JastaElf> Night all!
[21:13] <TheDeryni> Nite Kathi
[21:13] * JastaElf Quit
[21:14] <TheDeryni> See you all soon....
[21:14] <Mistyck> take care TD
[21:14] <bereft> Well, does that sort of thing happen frequently?
People quit in groups?
[21:15] <Mistyck> yes especially on Sunday afternoons after KK leaves
[21:15] <Mistyck> then there's a mass exodus
[21:15] <bereft> I suppose that makes sense.
[21:15] * TheDeryni Quit (Quit: TD sends happiness weaves torwards
Kathi.)
[21:16] <bereft> I just wish I could see you all before November. That
is not going to happen, though. I have too much to do.
[21:16] <Mistyck> I hope you can be here this Sunday. I'm sure
Katherine would like to chat with you
[21:17] <Mistyck> that's understandable Kathi, but we are all there
with you right now in spirit
[21:17] <Mistyck> and you have all of the Deryni group's support
[21:17] <bereft> I will try. It all depends on the funeral. Pat had
so many friends where she worked that will want to be at the wake, I am
not sure how I am going to arrange things.
[21:17] <bereft> Most of the Department of Consumer
[21:18] <bereft> Affairs will want to pay their condolences
[21:18] <Mistyck> of course. Don't be a stranger though and know that
everyone is here for you should you need anything at all.
[21:18] <Mistyck> have your neighbors and friends help you organize it
[21:19] <bereft> Yeah, if I can remember the address, and how to get
in. I have written it down, but my head is a steel trap these days,
things go into it and get mangled.
[21:19] <Mistyck> it must seem overwhelming right now, but things will
all come together--just have faith
[21:19] * Bynw is going to head for the dreamlands. he is lacking sleep
currently
[21:19] <Mistyck> if you don't remember, that's ok too...Bynw, Tika,
Sam and others can always help you out
[21:20] <bereft> I am the wrong side of 50 to deal well with change,
and my entire universe just flipped upside down
[21:20] <Mistyck> take care Bynw
[21:20] <Samuel> My mind has been described as a steel trap
too......... rusted shut and banned in 38 states.
[21:20] * Bynw Quit (Quit: IRC is multiuser notepad.)
[21:20] <Mistyck> I understand...but know that you will always have
friends in chatdom
[21:21] <bereft> Yeah, if I can find my way back here again.
[21:21] <Mistyck> when there's a need, you will find the way
[21:22] <bereft> I am roadkill on the internet highway. In fact, when
it comes to tekkie toys of any sort, I am usually lost. I would have
made a good medieval scribe
[21:22] <Mistyck>
[21:22] <Mistyck> you're doing just fine right now
[21:22] <bereft> I just learned how to place calls and answer them on
the cell phone today.
[21:22] <Mistyck>
[21:23] <bereft> The cats have done something to the telephone in the
house. It is not functional. I had to resort to the cell, and I had
to ask a neighbor to show me how to use it. That was one of Pat's toys
[21:23] <Mistyck>
[21:25] <bereft> I have to go search more file boxes now, and try to
find the papers I need, so I will sign off now, if I may. Good night,
all, and thank you for your support.
[21:25] * bereft has left #Deryni_Destinations
[21:25] <Mistyck> good night Kathi and please take care of yourself.
