[17:20] * KK has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:20] <DeryniBot> Welcome KK to #Deryni_Destinations - The virtual
home of Katherine Kurtz
[17:20] <TheCatWhisperer> hi, rd :-)
[17:20] <Debbie-VB> Hi Katherine
[17:20] <Mistyck> hi Katherine!
[17:20] <Sedina> Hi Katherine!
[17:20] <Shiral> Hi Katherine
[17:20] <the_Bee> hi kk!
[17:20] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, KK!
[17:20] <Dov> hi katherine
[17:21] <TheCatWhisperer> Katherine! :-)
[17:21] <KK> Hey, guys! Happy 4th of July!
[17:21] <Dov> thanks
[17:21] <RainbowDragon> Thanks, KK
[17:21] <Mistyck> same to you KK!
[17:21] <TheCatWhisperer> :-)
[17:21] <KK> Wasn't sure how many would be here tonight, it being a
holiday weekend.
[17:21] <Shiral> we keep popping in
[17:22] <Sedina> I would say that I'm always here, but I've been MIA
for the last couple of weekends
[17:22] <TheCatWhisperer> *pop*
[17:22] <Mistyck> I think lots of people are just staying home
[17:22] <RainbowDragon> Whats new in your corner of the world, KK?
[17:22] <KK> We spent most of the day clearing "stuff" out of the
cellar. Yuck!
[17:22] <Mistyck>
[17:22] <Shiral> Not so fun, but necessary
[17:23] <TheCatWhisperer> yes
[17:23] <KK> It was damp and mildewy, and my asthma didn't like it.
But we threw out a LOT of junk!
[17:23] <Kelric> heh. cleaning out garbage.
[17:23] <Wrengl> hi katherine
[17:23] <KK> Loads and loads of long-dead computer magazines and broken
ex-Cameron toys.
[17:23] <Kelric> been doing a lot of that recently here too.
[17:23] <Wrengl> long time no see
[17:23] <Shiral> Sometimes it can be satisfying to clean things out
[17:24] <the_Bee> Is Oscar all healed now?
[17:24] <Kelric> we're planning on selling the house and moving into a
rental soon.
[17:24] <KK> Indeed. One even finds a few treasures, to make it worth
the while besides the satisfaction of gaining greater neatness.
[17:24] <Debbie-VB> Making room for a whole 'nother load of junk?
[17:24] <TheCatWhisperer> lol!
[17:24] <Shiral> That's the problem with cleanliness <G>
[17:24] <Shiral> At least it is with me
[17:24] <RainbowDragon> What treasures did you find? Old photos?
[17:24] <KK> He goes back for more x-rays the beginning of August. The
surgeons said it would take 6-8 months, and it's been three.
[17:24] <Sedina> I'm not getting rid of too much these days....but I
keep getting gifted with things by others who are. Not that I'm
complaining. I'm getting lots of pretty things
[17:24] <Wrengl> nature, i find, abhores a vacuum
[17:25] <Shiral> =o)
[17:25] <KK> Kim, you're home in ND now, right?
[17:25] <Wrengl> yah and wait until the HUGE UPS delivery, sedina
[17:25] * Martine has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:25] <DeryniBot> Welcome Martine to your appointment on the
Camberian Council
[17:25] <Dov> "Ever notice your junk is stuff, but other people's stuff
is junk?" (George Carlin)
[17:25] <Mistyck> hi Martine
[17:25] <Martine> Hi everyone!
[17:25] <KK> Hi, Martine.
[17:25] <Shiral> Hi Martine
[17:25] <the_Bee> hi Martine
[17:25] <TheCatWhisperer> Hi, Martine
[17:26] <Dov> hi martine
[17:26] <Wrengl> hi martine
[17:26] <Martine> Oooo! I've been appointed to the Camberian Council!
Whee!
[17:26] <Sedina> yup, I'm at home....go to Mayo for a checkup on the
7th. Will find out if Keely's a match then
[17:26] <KK> Few real treasures, but I did salvage a lot of half-used
notebooks, loads and loads of pens and pencils, the occasional storage
box.
[17:26] <Shiral> Anything happening with Childe Morgan?
[17:27] <Mistyck> I'll keep you both in my prayers Kim
[17:27] <KK> Martine, we were cleaning out the cellar today.
[17:27] <KK> Working on it.
[17:27] <Martine> Oh, that sounds like LOADS of fun <laugh>
[17:27] <Martine> After all that practice, want to come over and do
mine, too? <g>
[17:27] <Wrengl> lol
[17:27] <KK> Now past the halfway point, albeit some of the stuff is
very rough first draft. But it's beginning to look like a book!
[17:27] <Sedina> Hey, Martine
[17:27] <Martine> Whoo hoo!
[17:27] <Shiral> Excellent
[17:27] <Martine> Hey Sedina :-)

[17:29] <Martine> LOL! Did you go invisible?
[17:29] <KK> Ummm, I've also been plotting with my niece re my mother's
80th, which is tomorrow.
[17:29] <Jastaelf> no, just... out of it.
[17:29] <TheCatWhisperer> Been avoiding mirrors, Jasta? :-D
[17:29] <Martine> What's the plot?
[17:29] <Shiral> Forgot to pay the visibility bill, again
[17:29] <Jastaelf> kk--tomorrow is mom's birthday??? wow!!!!
[17:30] <Shiral> That's quite a milestone
[17:30] <Wrengl> hi jasta
[17:30] * the_Bee sends happy birthday woodgies to LBM
[17:30] <Dov> congrats katherine
[17:30] <RainbowDragon> Happy Birthday to KK's mom
[17:30] <KK> Plot is a basket of goodies. mostly edible.
[17:30] <Mistyck> well, wish her a very happy birthday from all of
us...because afterall, without her, we wouldn't have you
[17:30] <Martine> Sounds yum!
[17:30] <Jastaelf> Margaret is neat people. :-)
[17:30] <KK> That's true.
[17:30] <Shiral> Margaret is indeed a good person.
[17:31] <Wrengl> happy birthday to your mom, kk
[17:31] <KK> I talked to her last night, and my sister and her kids are
planning great things. They were taking her to see the new Star Wars
movie last night.
[17:31] <Shiral> Do send her our greetings <G>
[17:31] <Martine> Alright! I haven't seen that yet
[17:31] <Mistyck> how neat!
[17:31] <Wrengl> yes margaret is
[17:31] <Dov> terrific
[17:31] <KK> And tomorrow they're going to watch the space probe smack
into the comet, and also watch fireworks over the Bay.
[17:31] <Dov> whee
[17:31] <RainbowDragon> Cool, your mom is a Star Wars fan?
[17:31] <Shiral> I hope so, since she's heading for the movie. =o)
[17:31] <Wrengl> we saw War of the Worlds on thursday
[17:32] <KK> Not rabid, but she does enjoy them, and doesn't go to the
movies on her own.
[17:32] <Mistyck> oh wow!
[17:32] <Mistyck> about the Comet
[17:32] <KK> We saw WOW on Friday night, when it opened here.
[17:32] <Wrengl> this is a good SWars movie
[17:32] <Debbie-VB> I saw it two weeks ago. One of the better ones
[17:32] <Wrengl> how did you like it?
[17:32] <Kelric> may the schwartz be with you \
[17:32] <Wrengl> i would have put down that little girl within 5
minutes
[17:32] <Martine> I'm hoping to see Batman Begins tomorrow. Star Wars
will have to wait.
[17:32] <Shiral> Now there's a plan.
[17:32] <Debbie-VB> Almost as good as the original trilogy
[17:32] <Wrengl> and i am not sure i woulld have done it humanely
either
[17:33] * Martine ducks and hides from Bynw, then breathes a sigh of
relief he's out to dinner
[17:33] <Shiral> Maybe I'll hit a movie, tomorrow
[17:33] <RainbowDragon> Only one rabid SW fan that I know of... I hear
tell he got married in Jedi robes... :-)
[17:33] <KK> I thought it really captured a lot of the feeling of what
it might be like for the average person if something like that did
happen.
[17:33] <Kelric> I still need to see the Batman movie as well.
[17:33] <Sedina> The last movie I saw was Robots
[17:33] <Shiral> Star Wars has waited a long time for me, all right
[17:33] <Wrengl> true about the feeling
[17:33] <Debbie-VB> I'm sort of looking forwards to the Fantastic four
[17:33] <Shiral> I want to see the March of the Penguins movie
[17:33] <Dov> ok. long ago i read the hg wells novel
[17:33] <KK> We want to see the new Batman next.
[17:33] <Wrengl> that looks good shiral
[17:34] <the_Bee> and the Flash movie
[17:34] <Martine> My sister says the Batman one is great.
[17:34] <Shiral> I find Penguins endearing, Pat <G>
[17:34] <Wrengl> well i need to eat
[17:34] <Jastaelf> eat penguins?
[17:34] <Martine> Don't expect truth to the comic book universe, but if
you can put that aside, it's great.
[17:34] <Shiral> Ack, I hope not
[17:35] <Martine> Katherine - I swear that despite my AIM away message
yesterday, I wasn't playing video games. I was doing research for my
story!
[17:35] * KK has left #Deryni_Destinations
[17:35] <Martine> ack!
[17:35] <Shiral> sure, she was...oops
[17:35] <RainbowDragon> I hear penguins taste like chicken :-)
[17:35] <Martine> I guess she doesn't believe me....
[17:35] <the_Bee> Was it Peer?
[17:35] <Shiral> See? You play games, and look what happens, Martine!
=o)
[17:35] <Martine> But I wasn't! I swear! It was just the wrong AIM
message selected! <g>

[17:36] <DeryniBot> Adam Sinclair welcomes his newest member of the
Hunt ... KK
[17:36] * the_Bee leads her swarm up peer's wazoo, stinging all the way
[17:36] <Sedina> wb, Katherine
[17:36] * Andy_Hock has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:36] <DeryniBot> Welcome Andy_Hock to #Deryni_Destinations - The
virtual home of Katherine Kurtz
[17:36] <RainbowDragon> Welcome back, KK - what happened?
[17:36] <Shiral> Out of body, back in five minutes
[17:36] <the_Bee> rehi Katherine
[17:36] <Shiral> hi andy
[17:36] <Martine> I came back to my computer yesterday afternoon only
to find I had my "I'm playing video games" away message up by mistake -
and a scolding from Katherine for not working on my book <laugh>
[17:36] <KK> That was Tillie, jumping onto the keyboard.
[17:36] <RainbowDragon> Hi, Andy
[17:36] <Shiral> Tillie wants attention
[17:36] <Andy_Hock> Hi all.
[17:36] <Martine> LOL sounds like Rowena
[17:36] <Sedina> hi, andy
[17:36] <Debbie-VB> Bad tilly!
[17:36] <the_Bee> hi tillie!
[17:36] * TheCatWhisperer scritches tillie
[17:37] <KK> She did, yes. I was trying to send Jasta my mother's
address, and not paying attention to the little paw on my leg. That'll
teach me to ignore her.
[17:37] <Mistyck> wb kk hi tillie, hi andy
[17:37] <Shiral> yup
[17:37] <Jastaelf> LOL! Never ignore the little paw....
[17:37] * the_Bee refuses to apologize to peer
[17:37] <Jastaelf> it'll getcha every time....
[17:37] <Martine> The paw means REAL business!
[17:37] <Shiral> I'm surrounded by Pygmy Lions myself
[17:37] <Shiral> i'm here... love me!
[17:37] <KK> Now she's come back down from thebookshelf and is sitting
on my lap.
[17:38] <Sedina> Myah was trying to get onto my lap earlier and was
quite upset with me as I kept blocking her. She just doesn't think
that I should have this computer-thing on my lap and not her
[17:38] <the_Bee> Does Myah still groom you, Kim?
[17:38] <Martine> Please - Rowena nearly got her tail scored when she
tried to insist I shoudln't be working on your wedding invites! <g>
[17:38] <RainbowDragon> lol
[17:38] <KK> Martine definitely needs to keep working on her Rakovian
novel. Inquiring minds want to know!
[17:39] <Martine> LOL! Been doing a lot of really happy happy research.
[17:39] * Dov grins and remembers being owned by a cat
[17:39] <Sedina> the hair's gotten a little too long for Myah to try to
wash it.....but she'll wash my hands for me when I pet her
[17:39] <KK> I see....
[17:39] <Martine> Fun topics like therapy for rape victims and war
crimes in Bosnia/Herzegovina
[17:39] <Sedina> I agree, Katherine
[17:39] <KK> Oh, good, then you'll have some hair for your wedding!
[17:40] <Sedina> yeah, it hasn't fallen out
[17:40] <Martine> Wootness!
[17:40] <Shiral> Good going <G>
[17:40] <Sedina> I'm losing feeling in my fingertips instead though
[17:40] <RainbowDragon> ack!
[17:40] <the_Bee> bummer
[17:40] <Dov> *sigh*
[17:40] <Shiral> Oh dear
[17:40] <Shiral> I think I'd rather be able to feel my fingers
[17:40] <Sedina> it's really a find of funky feeling
[17:40] <KK> Doesn't seem to be affecting your typing, at least. ;-)
[17:41] <Sedina> kind of like when they go to sleep and you get the
pins & needles thing
[17:41] <Sedina> I just have that all the time
[17:41] <KK> ick!
[17:41] <Martine> You mean it's not just because Cole's visiting? <g>
[17:41] * Martine ducks
[17:41] <Shiral> Not fun, Sedina ,G>
[17:41] <Sedina> He's not here anymore
[17:41] <Jastaelf> Sounds like carpal tunnel.
[17:41] <Jastaelf> *shakes hands*
[17:42] <Sedina> one of the side effects of vincristine is the change
for nerve damage
[17:42] <Debbie-VB> I was sort of thinking that too Jasta
[17:42] <Sedina> and the more chemo a person has had, the more likely
it is to happen
[17:42] <Jastaelf> *nods*
[17:42] <Shiral> Ah the joys of modern medicine
[17:42] <Martine> I'm guessing that's one of the reasons they don't use
it much anymore?
[17:43] <Sedina> Ah, but I'm hardly having to use my oxygen
though....only when the humidity is super high
[17:43] <KK> As long as it kills off the bad cells!
[17:43] <Jastaelf> yup...
[17:43] <Shiral> If it's helping... it's helping
[17:43] <Sedina> I can still feel with my fingers....I will take tingly
if it means that I'll be able to have my transplant
[17:43] * Debbie-VB sends Sedina whole bunches of anti nerve damage
woodgies
[17:43] <Sedina> I <have> to have my transplant
[17:43] <Shiral> Definitely
[17:44] <Shiral> I hope Keely will be a match for you
[17:44] <Martine> And you will
[17:44] * TheCatWhisperer seconds Debbie's woodgies
[17:44] <Shiral> Keep it all in the family!
[17:44] <Jastaelf> *sends Sedina transplant woodgies*
[17:44] <KK> Jasta, we've successfully activated VB's woodgie!
