[16:32] * KK has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:32] * KK sets mode: +q KK
[16:32] <DeryniBot> Samuel opens up one of his special bottles of mead
as KK arrives
[16:32] <Mistyck> hiyas Katherine
[16:32] <TerryOBrien> Hello Katherine!
[16:32] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, KK!
[16:33] <Bynw> hi KK!!!!
[16:33] <RainbowDragon> You're alive and well!
[16:33] * Bynw huggles KK
[16:33] <the_Bee> Good to see you, katherine
[16:33] <KK> Hello, gang!
[16:33] <Bynw> we've missed you
[16:33] <Mistyck> yes we have!
[16:33] <RainbowDragon> How have you been?
[16:33] <KK> I've missed you too.
[16:33] <RainbowDragon> What have you been up to?
[16:33] <Mistyck> Hope you had a very good Christmas and New Years
[16:33] * ambush-afk has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:33] <DeryniBot> Hiyas there ambush-afk - Tika has warmed the chat
with her candles burning everywhere.
[16:33] <KK> I'm good. Starting to dig out from under the after-book
debris.
[16:33] * ambush-afk is now known as ambush
[16:34] <Bynw> its done???
[16:34] <KK> We're still working madly on the house, which is nearing
completion.
[16:34] <TerryOBrien> Does that mean its finished?
[16:34] <Mistyck> cool!
[16:34] * ambush strolls in, seeing KK and almost having a heart attack
[16:34] <KK> Book is finished; house is not.
[16:34] <Mistyck> how much longer on the house?
[16:34] <Bynw> weee the book is done
[16:34] <ambush> woohooooo
[16:35] <KK> 4-6 weeks.
[16:35] <ambush> the book is done
[16:35] * Bynw dances around the channel with anyone that wants to
dance a happy joy dance
[16:35] <Mistyck> cool! That's not really all that long
[16:35] <ambush> oh, KK, news from the bynw side
[16:35] <Mistyck> see, Pat...all you had to do was put out the grilled
cheddar sandwiches
[16:35] <KK> No. In many respects, it isn't long enough--but we really
are in the hose stretch at last.
[16:35] <ambush> i moved in with bynw and tika
[16:35] <TerryOBrien> IT was the new grill that did it
[16:35] * the_Bee opens the chilled champaign to celebrate the
completion of KK's book
[16:35] <RainbowDragon> Is Childe Morgan still only a working title or
will that be the actual name?
[16:35] <KK> home stretch
[16:36] <KK> It's the actual name, unless my editor can come up with a
better one. We haven't discussed it yet.
[16:36] <RainbowDragon> okay, thanks
[16:37] <Mistyck> it's a very good name
[16:37] * Bynw likes it anyway
[16:37] <ambush> yep
[16:37] <Mistyck> I remember liking it from way back when you first
talked about doing that trilogy someday
[16:37] <Bynw> how soon before it hits print and the like
[16:37] <ambush> great name
[16:37] <RainbowDragon> Done any discussion on what the cover will look
like?
[16:37] <KK> It will be out in the autumn; don't have an exact date
yet.
[16:38] <RainbowDragon> Hooray!!!
[16:38] <Bynw> so it will be the most signed book at darkover this year
[16:38] <Mistyck> ahh...good timing...we can discuss it during Darkover

[16:38] <Mistyck> have you thought any more about moving back to the
States?
[16:38] <the_Bee> Do we get to meet Jehana's brother?
[16:39] <KK> I'm now gearing up to update the website.
[16:39] <Mistyck> cool!
[16:39] * RainbowDragon changes topic to 'Official Chat of Katherine
Kurtz § Welcome back, KK!'
[16:39] <KK> You will meet Jehana's brother--but don't hold your breath
on the next book. I haven't started it yet.
[16:40] <RainbowDragon> A website update. That's terrific news too :-)
[16:40] <Mistyck> hey that's understandable...you need to get the house
finished
[16:40] <KK> Yep.
[16:40] <Mistyck> Katherine: I reached a milestone yesterday
[16:41] <KK> Yes?
[16:41] <Mistyck> I finished the Templar short story...my very first
original story finished
[16:41] <KK> Very good.
[16:41] <ambush> nice
[16:41] <the_Bee> congrats, Mistyck!
[16:42] <Mistyck> of course, it needs editing and going over with a
fine tooth comb, but I got some great ideas of how to do it from Holly
Lisle's website
[16:42] <Mistyck> thank you
[16:42] <ambush> do i get to see it when i come down for baseball,
mystick?
[16:42] <RainbowDragon> Done any discussion on what the cover will look
like?
[16:42] <Mistyck> yes Ambush
[16:42] <ambush> yay!
[16:42] <ambush>
[16:42] <KK> I gave them some suggestions, but don't have any decision
yet.
[16:42] <Mistyck> as far as review and editing that is
[16:42] <ambush> good reading and baseball over one weekend
[16:42] <RainbowDragon> okay
[16:43] <ambush> i'm not sure if i'll survive
[16:43] <Mistyck> ambush: you should be able to have it before
then...my goal is to get it cleaned up by next weekend
[16:43] <ambush> wow
[16:43] <Mistyck> it's only about 20 pages.
[16:43] <ambush> i like hard-copies....they make my eyes hurt less
[16:44] <the_Bee> cleaned up? You wrote a dirty book about the
Templars, Mistyck!?
[16:44] <Mistyck> lol bee!
[16:44] <ambush> roflmfao
[16:44] <KK> Once I've updated the website--or maybe while I'm working
on that--I need to do the index for Childe Morgan, and then do the
polish on High Deryni. And <then> I'll start on the 3rd Childe book.
[16:44] <Mistyck> very cool, KK
[16:44] <ambush> YAY to the entire list!
[16:44] <ambush> bbiab
[16:44] <Mistyck> most definitely!
[16:44] <Wrengl> hi katherine!!!!!!!
[16:45] <KK> Hi, Pat! How're you doing?
[16:45] <the_Bee> how are you doing with the chemo, pat?
[16:46] <natlog> KK ae you going to add the next issue of DA the zine
to your list?
[16:46] <Wrengl> not bad, katherine
[16:46] <Wrengl> survived my first chemo treatment
[16:46] * silverfire has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:46] <DeryniBot> silverfire stumbles into #Deryni_Destinations while
chasing after a Lehr Cat.
[16:46] <Mistyck> hiyas Silver!
[16:46] <silverfire> hi
[16:47] <the_Bee> hi ho silver
[16:47] <Mistyck> Katherine: This is Silver, I met him in a writer's
chatroom
[16:47] <KK> Oops! Forgot about the next DA. Guess I do have to add
that to my list. Otherwise, Julianne will probably kill me. :-)
[16:48] * Martine has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:48] <DeryniBot> Welcome to the chat Martine - Bynw has a cooler
full of Pepsi and RC and is sharing it with all!
[16:48] <Mistyck> hiyas Martine!
[16:48] <Martine> hi all!
[16:48] <silverfire> Forward Motion writer's community, to be precise.

[16:48] <Martine> Hi Katherine!
[16:48] <the_Bee> Does anyone have news of Julianne's mother?
[16:48] <KK> Hiyo, Silver! (How many times have you heard <that>?)
[16:48] * JoeT has joined #Deryni_Destinations

[16:48] * Nuuka has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:48] <DeryniBot> Welcome to the chat Nuuka - Bynw has a cooler full
of Pepsi and RC and is sharing it with all!
[16:48] <Wrengl> hi martine
[16:48] <Mistyck> wow...lots of peoples!
[16:48] <Wrengl> hi silverfire
[16:48] <silverfire> almost every day, actually.
[16:48] <Wrengl> hi ambush
[16:49] <KK> Haven't heard re Julianne's mother for a couple of weeks.
Hopefully, no news is good news.
[16:49] * the_Bee was a big Lone Ranger fan as a child
[16:49] <KK> hi, martine!
[16:49] <Martine> has Julianne's mother been ill?
[16:49] <the_Bee> Yes
[16:49] <KK> Alas, yes. Metasized brain cancer. :-(
[16:49] <Wrengl> hello joet
[16:49] <silverfire> yeah, the Lone Ranger was cool
[16:49] <Wrengl> hi nuuka
[16:49] <Martine> oh, ick!
[16:50] <silverfire> cancer of any sort is not good
[16:50] <Nuuka> 'lo
[16:50] <Mistyck> KK: any ideas yet if you're moving back to the
States or to Scotland?
[16:50] <the_Bee> hi neeka
[16:50] <Wrengl> no cancer is not good
[16:50] <KK> We're currently looking at Scotland; going on Wednesday
for 4 days to look at prpoerties.
[16:50] <the_Bee> and nuuka too
[16:50] <Mistyck> wow...cool!
[16:50] <Nuuka> lol
[16:51] * silverfire has never been to Scotland. He's envious
[16:51] * Wrengl has not either
[16:51] <KK> Scotland is way cool!
[16:51] * Martine hasn't either
[16:51] * Bynw hasnt been there either and is 1/4 scottish
[16:51] <silverfire> my parents have, though. For a day, maybe, lol. I
think they had some haggis while there.
[16:51] <the_Bee> Is Scott from Scotland?
[16:52] <KK> Haggis is excellent!
[16:52] * TerryOBrien has been to Glasgow but its not the same as
seeing the country
[16:52] <Martine> I thought Ireland was way cool, too! :-)
[16:52] <Nuuka> brb
[16:52] * Nuuka has left #Deryni_Destinations
[16:52] <Wrengl> i tasted haggis at a scotland worldcon bid party and
liked it
[16:52] <silverfire> Ireland *is* cool
[16:52] <KK> Scott is Scottish descent, but was born in--gasp!--Utah!
(It was right after the war, and that's where his father was stationed
at the time.)
[16:52] <the_Bee> do you prefer highlands of lowlands, KK?
[16:52] <natlog> i'd go back to ireland in a heartbeat
[16:52] <Mistyck> highlands! Of course!
[16:52] <TerryOBrien> We won't hold it against him.
[16:52] * Debbie-VB has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:52] <DeryniBot> Hiyas there Debbie-VB - Tika has warmed the chat
with her candles burning everywhere.
[16:52] <KK> Highlands, though we're looking at places in the lowlands.
[16:53] <Wrengl> hi debbie
[16:53] <Mistyck> hehe...
[16:53] <Mistyck> Hiyas Debbie
[16:53] <Debbie-VB> Hi all
[16:53] <the_Bee> hi debbie
[16:53] <TerryOBrien> I'll bet you're not looking for another
"fixer-upper" are you?
[16:53] <Debbie-VB> katherine!!!!! welcome back
[16:53] <Wrengl> debbie are you from victoria or vancouver?
[16:53] <Martine> I'd love to horse-trek Scotland :-)
[16:53] * silverfire always thinks of George MacDonalds' stories when
he thinks of Scotland, for some reason. ;()
[16:53] <silverfire> er, not ;()
[16:53] <KK> We don't mind the prospect of redecorating, but preferably
no major restoration, please.
[16:54] <Martine> LOL had enough of that?
[16:54] <Debbie-VB> Burnaby. Which is a suburb of Vancouver
[16:54] <Wrengl> ah
[16:54] <Wrengl> k
[16:54] * Celebdraug has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:54] <DeryniBot> Hey there Celebdraug - did you know that
RainbowDragon likes cheese?
[16:54] <TerryOBrien> How much space would you be looking for?
[16:54] <Wrengl> we'll be stopping in victoria in september
[16:54] <Martine> cole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[16:54] <the_Bee> hi Celendraug
[16:54] <Celebdraug> Hello
[16:54] <KK> About half to two-thirds what we have now.
[16:54] <Wrengl> hi cole
[16:54] <Mistyck> Hiyas Cole
[16:54] <RainbowDragon> Looking for another castle or more mundane
accomodations this time 'round?
[16:54] <Bynw> Hey Cole
[16:54] <KK> 4-5 bedrooms, to allow for offices.
[16:54] <silverfire> Celebdraug? Is that partially Tolkien
Elvish-inspired?
[16:55] * Bynw gives Cole a hug
[16:55] <KK> Nothing mundane, thank you very much.
[16:55] <RainbowDragon> Hi Cole
[16:55] <Wrengl> hi bee, missed greating you earlier
[16:55] <silverfire> mundane is boring, yes
[16:55] <KK> Maybe a castle. At least something baronial, like
Holybrooke, only smaller.
[16:55] <Martine> Ow ow ow ow ow! Rowena's dreaming in my lap and
rabbiting my leg!!!!
[16:55] <Celebdraug> ack and sort of. I got it from Tolkien but used
it in D&D
[16:55] <Wrengl> lol martine
[16:55] <the_Bee> hi rowena1
[16:56] <Mistyck> lol Martine
[16:56] <Wrengl> hi rowena
[16:56] <Mistyck> Evaine ran away 2 days in a row
[16:56] <silverfire> I asked because another handle of mine is
celebinar. Same as this, only in Elvish
[16:56] <Martine> Do you have her back now?
[16:56] <Wrengl> oh dear
[16:56] <Wrengl> is she in season?
[16:56] <Mistyck> snuck out in the morning when we let chance out
[16:56] <Martine> Is she spayed?
[16:56] <the_Bee> has she come back?
[16:56] <Mistyck> meowed to be let back in late at night
[16:56] <Mistyck> no, Martine..I need to get her spayed
[16:57] <Mistyck> yes...Bee, she's back now
[16:57] <the_Bee> before it's too late
[16:57] <Mistyck> no, Pat, she's not in season...she was just being
curious and naughty
[16:57] <Wrengl> yes indeed before it is too late
[16:57] <Martine> Yeah. As shiral's Cesca proved, it doesn't take much
to get them pregnant.
[16:57] <Wrengl> good
[16:57] <Wrengl> one of the charmed ones does that
[16:57] <KK> It may already be too late. How old is she?
[16:57] <Mistyck> ahh
[16:57] <Mistyck> 1 yr old
[16:57] <KK> It's too late.
[16:57] <the_Bee> old enough
[16:58] <Mistyck> oh well
[16:58] <Mistyck> how are your 5 doing Katherine?
[16:58] <Wrengl> well she can still be spayed
[16:58] <Martine> You can still get her spayed, but you'll miss all the
beneficial behavioral stuff and some of the health stuff.
[16:58] <KK> You mean, our six?
[16:58] <Wrengl> as long as she did not get knocked up
[16:58] <Mistyck> six now? Does that include Sasha?
[16:58] <Mistyck> ok, thanks Pat
[16:59] <KK> Yep. He definitely lives here now.
[16:59] <Mistyck> cool!
[16:59] <Wrengl> good
[16:59] <KK> He <is> a cool cat--and huge!
[16:59] <Wrengl> how huge
[16:59] <Mistyck> I felt so bad for him when he got his whiskers cut
off
[16:59] * silverfire wishes he had a cat of his own. His apartment
doesn't allow pets. Fortunately, his parents have a wedge head
Siamese, lilac point, and he can visit her every now and then
[16:59] <Wrengl> frankie is as tall at the shoulder as thumper was
[16:59] * JoeT has left #Deryni_Destinations
[17:00] <Wrengl> now that is huge
[17:00] <RainbowDragon> KK, when you ultimately do decide to move, will
you take all of your fur family with you?
[17:00] <KK> Very affectionate. Of course, Jessie hates him. And
Tillie isn't real crazy about him, not to mention Gus. But Edgar and
Nicholas are ok with him.
[17:00] <Wrengl> so did i mistyck
[17:00] <KK> Of course they'll all go with us!
[17:00] <RainbowDragon> Great!
[17:00] <Wrengl> at least he has two friends then
[17:00] <Martine> My friend who runs a cat adoption organization did a
30-cat rescue last weekend that would make your stomach churn :-(
[17:00] <Wrengl> they're family
[17:00] <Wrengl> of course they move also
[17:00] <Debbie-VB> Sounds like sasha's got some Maine coon blood
[17:00] <the_Bee> how long does it take a cat to get acclimated to a
new home?
[17:01] <RainbowDragon> Wasn't sure of any restrictions on taking
animals out of Ireland or into Scotland
[17:01] <Mistyck> and it's easier to get pets from Ireland to Britain
than vice versa
[17:01] <Martine> Anywhere from three weeks to years and years, Bee.
[17:01] <KK> Nope, just big. He's very short-haired--the
shortest-haired of any cat I've ever had.
[17:01] <silverfire> depends on the cat, Bee
[17:01] <Wrengl> cats are very territorial
[17:01] <Celebdraug> aparently it is easyer to transport cats into and
out of Canada to the States (and visa versa) than dogs.
[17:01] <KK> No problem either way. It's on and off the Continent that
can be tricky, though we now have pet passports teamed with
microchipping.
[17:01] <Wrengl> but many of them move okay since so many things are
also moved
[17:02] <the_Bee> good!
[17:02] <Mistyck> I think if they have familiar furniture they adapt
pretty quickly
[17:02] <Martine> If they all move together they adjust quickly. If a
new cat comes into the household, it can take a while.
[17:02] <KK> Wherever we end up, we'll have lots of space for them to
roam, both inside and outside. And you just keep them in for the first
few weeks.
[17:02] <Wrengl> and, of course, their familiar staff
[17:03] <KK> Yes, well, most of the staff won't change. :-)
[17:03] <Mistyck> hehe
[17:03] <Martine> Hee hee
[17:03] <Wrengl> tee hee
[17:03] <KK> I expect they'll miss our builders, though.
[17:03] <Wrengl> probably
[17:03] <Wrengl> no one to supervise
[17:03] <Martine> Do the builders supplement their diets, too? <g>
[17:03] <Mistyck> those builders have been around as long as some of
them have been alive I think
[17:03] <KK> Oswald definitely will miss them.
[17:03] <KK> Bingo, Martine!
[17:04] <Martine> How's Oswald been doing without Scrappy?
[17:04] <Wrengl> i am sure he will
[17:04] <Wrengl> does he get handouts from them?
[17:04] <KK> He's adjusted ok, though he's put on weight, since he
doesn't run around as much as a singleton dog.
[17:04] <Wrengl> that is normal
[17:04] <KK> We've had to tell them not to feed him anymore. Even they
realized he was getting fat.
[17:04] <Mistyck> lol
[17:04] <Martine> lol
[17:04] <Wrengl> good that they realized it
[17:05] <Martine> His belly doesn't have far to go before it starts
dragging! <g>
[17:05] <silverfire> that just means you need to play with him more.
Take him for long walks in the Highlands
[17:05] <Wrengl> although a sadness from his perspective i am sure
[17:05] <Debbie-VB> And Oswald is now feeling totally hard done bye.
Or at least acting like that?
[17:05] <KK> He's certainy made a brilliant recovery, though. I had to
take him to the vet just before Darkover, to get his ears really
cleaned, and all the staff were amazed to see him. They'd all thought
he'd be a goner, with two broken front legs.
[17:06] <Martine> Good for him!
[17:06] <Wrengl> he's a tough kid
[17:06] <KK> (His surgery was done at the vet college, so his local
vets hadn't seen him since the initial visit right after the accident.)
[17:06] <Mistyck> ahh
[17:06] <Wrengl> ah
[17:06] <Martine> My sister and her boyfriend just adopted a
sheltie/terrier mix. He's the cutest little tiny thing!
[17:06] <Wrengl> yes i am sure they were surprised then
[17:07] <Wrengl> that would be a small dog
[17:07] <Debbie-VB> that would be a good looking doggie Martine
[17:07] <Wrengl> imho
[17:07] <Martine> Or *She's the cutest little thing.
[17:07] <Martine> She put pictures up at
http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&Uc=4zipzyv.15nmhder&Uy=-j75w5q&Ux=1
[17:07] <silverfire> golden retrievers are better. :p
[17:07] <Wrengl> cardigan welsh corgis are the best
[17:07] <Martine> LOL not when you live in a high-rise apartment, like
they do.
[17:08] <TerryOBrien> Our family has always favored dachsunds
[17:08] * Mistyck loves her half dalmatian, half english setter just
fine
[17:08] <Wrengl> australian cattle dogs are neat also but not for
everyone
[17:08] <silverfire> heh, Martine. That's true
[17:08] <Celebdraug> My dad has a half Great Dane.
[17:08] <TerryOBrien> Just the size to fit on your lap, and
tremondously affectionate
[17:08] <Wrengl> no you would not like too big a dog
[17:08] <silverfire> actually, pugs are great
[17:08] <Martine> That's gotta be a big dog, half great Dane!
[17:08] <Wrengl> yes they can be
[17:08] <KK> Our immediate next door neighbors got a Shih-tzu (or
however you spell it), and she's afraid of the cats, especially
Nicholas, who apparently sits on the wall between us and glares at her.
She won't go out in her own back yard if he's watching. Of course, he
used to live there....
[17:08] <Celebdraug> Suprised the heck out of him, since he was told it
was a half boxer
[17:09] <Wrengl> you got it pretty close katherine
[17:09] <Martine> lol kk!
[17:09] <TerryOBrien> A friend had a huskie that was 1/4 wolf. Leetah
thought she was a lap dog.
[17:09] <Debbie-VB> lol
[17:09] <Martine> rotfl, cole!
[17:09] <Celebdraug> His name is Tyson
[17:09] <Mistyck> haha...I love it when the kitties scare the doggies
[17:09] <Martine> My sister's poor female 10-week-old puppy is named
Khan :-P
[17:09] <KK> Well, Nicholas is bigger than little Coco.
[17:09] <Celebdraug> Hey thats a cool name
[17:09] <Wrengl> kitties LOVE to terrorize dogs
[17:09] <Wrengl> especially little ones
[17:09] <Debbie-VB> Terry, My sister has a dog like that. and he's a
total wuss
[17:10] <Mistyck> or puppies
[17:10] <silverfire> what would be funny is if a large dog were scared
of a tiny cat. Small dogs being scared of cats is one thing, but a
*large* dog is "worse."
[17:10] <Wrengl> it happens though
[17:10] <Mistyck> even if they are bigger puppies..Chance pulled a cute
trick on my ex-hubby's puppy at Christmas time...walked right in front
of Queen Evaine and brushed her nose..Zack tried the same thing and got
hissed at!
[17:10] <Martine> I work with someone whose pit bull is terrified of
the eight-pound cat :-D
[17:11] <Wrengl> lol
[17:11] <Celebdraug> heh
[17:11] <Wrengl> he knows that rule number one is the cat always wins
and is in charge
[17:11] <TerryOBrien> Its more funny watching a pair of dachsund pups
chase a a full-grown Irish Setter, because the setter got a little too
close to them.
[17:11] <Wrengl> rule number 2 is when in doubt refer to rule number 1
[17:11] <Mistyck> hehe..Pat, that's EXACTLY what Evaine did with poor
Zack
[17:12] <Wrengl> of course
[17:12] <Mistyck> he got so scared he ran to Dan's lap, yiping
[17:12] <Mistyck> and Chance just walked around and flopped near the
fireplace!
[17:12] <Wrengl> my first cattle dog used to let saren wallwalker jr
jedi (kitty) run up and knock him over
[17:12] <Wrengl> he weighed 40 pounds; she was 8
[17:12] <Mistyck> lol
[17:13] <Debbie-VB> sounds like one cat my family owned. Actually was
stalking a full grown St barnard who strayed into his yard
[17:13] <Martine> I still think it's amusing that my 12-pound
eagle-eyed cat is terrified of the seven-pounder with only one
half-blind eye <hee hee>
[17:14] <Wrengl> true
[17:14] <Wrengl> but then rowena is TOUGH
[17:14] <Martine> She thinks she's a little scrapper kitty.
[17:14] <Wrengl> indeed
[17:14] <Martine> And knows how to give the evil eye! :-D
[17:14] <Wrengl> but isn't she?
[17:14] <Wrengl> of course she does
[17:15] <Wrengl> she knows about that contract arwen has out on her
[17:15] <Mistyck> lol
[17:15] <Martine> rotfl!
[17:15] <Wrengl> and the meow mafia's capo di tutti fruitti capi still
has the wherewithall to carry it out
[17:15] * silverfire needs to go. He's tired from not getting enough
sleep last night, and needs to take a nap.
[17:15] <Wrengl> night silverfire
[17:15] <Mistyck> take care Silver
[17:15] <RainbowDragon> bye, silverfire
[17:15] <Martine> Arwen inquires of the Meow Mafia when she might
expect that contract to be fulfilled? She's been waiting over a year
and a half now.
[17:15] <Martine> Night, Silverfire
[17:16] <the_Bee> years ago our cat let the family dog near her kitten,
but when a neighbor's dog came near she lashed onto his rump with all 4
paws
[17:16] <Wrengl> hooligan has been in jail most of the time
[17:16] <silverfire> bye, all, nice to meet you (however briefly),
