[18:08] <DeryniBot> Adam Sinclair welcomes his newest member of the
Hunt ... KK
[18:08] <Mistyck> hi kk
[18:08] <Samuel> Hello KK
[18:09] <Sedina> Hi kk
[18:09] <Bynw> hiyas KK
[18:09] <KK> Hi, guys.
[18:09] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, KK!
[18:09] <Bynw> us diehards wait the longest :-)
[18:09] <Mistyck> how are you doing tonight?
[18:09] <RainbowDragon> "Good things come to those who wait"
[18:09] <Mistyck> yep!
[18:09] <KK> Doing fine, though I can't stay long. Scott was online
before, which is why I'm late.
[18:10] <Mistyck> ahh...you need to tell Scott to drop by here
sometimes...
[18:10] <Bynw> he is supposed to come here
[18:10] <KK> Sedina, how're you doing?
[18:10] <Mistyck> so Bynw and I can bug him
[18:10] <Bynw> yeah
[18:10] <Sedina> I'm doing well. Getting ready for my trip back to
Mayo. Hard to believe it's already time for my 60 day checkup
[18:10] <the_Bee> hello kk
[18:11] <RainbowDragon> How was your week, KK?
[18:11] <KK> We've spent the last two days sorting through boxes of
"stuff" that just came out of storage. Yuck! And a lot of it went up
to the attic.
[18:11] <KK> Back to Mayo already, eh? It really does't seem like 60
days.
[18:12] <Sedina> I should find out during this trip if I'm going to
need to have surgery on my throat
[18:12] <the_Bee> oh?
[18:12] <Sedina> I have a paralyzed vocal chord
[18:12] <RainbowDragon> Does it affect your speech?
[18:13] <the_Bee>
[18:13] <Mistyck> ick, Kim
[18:13] <Sedina> yeah, I've had a hoarse voice since June
[18:13] <RainbowDragon> ohhh
[18:14] <Sedina> the tumor in my chest pinched off one of the nerves
that controls the left vocal chord
[18:14] <Sedina> actually, it controls the whole left side of my
throat.
[18:14] <Mistyck> yuck!
[18:14] <RainbowDragon> I'll bet that makes swallowing difficult
[18:14] <KK> Yuck, indeed!
[18:15] <Sedina> swallowing isn't a problem, but whenever I have a sore
throat it's only the right side that I can feel
[18:15] <KK> Wellllll, that <is> only half the pain....
[18:16] <Sedina> I'm not complaining. Its just the vocal bit that's
annoying
[18:16] <Mistyck> I can imagine!
[18:16] <Harvey> Just talk half as loud and you ought to be OK, right?
[18:16] <Sedina> Martine could testify to how hard it can be to
understand me on the phone
[18:16] <the_Bee> or twice as loud?
[18:17] <the_Bee> to compensate
[18:17] <Sedina> i can't talk loud, it's physically impossible
[18:17] <Bynw> phone Bah!
[18:17] <Bynw> use IRC :-)
[18:17] <Mistyck> hehe
[18:18] <Mistyck> any progress on CM, Katherine?
[18:18] <KK> Surely you jest....
[18:18] <Bynw> lol
[18:18] <Sedina> lol
[18:18] <Mistyck> lol
[18:19] <KK> Actually, I've been reviewing my notes a bit, in
preparation for getting back into it.
[18:19] <Bynw> i think that's a "no" Mistyck
[18:19] <Mistyck> had to ask though ;-)
[18:19] <Mistyck> hey, that's work too
[18:19] <Mistyck> how are the kitties and doggie doing?
[18:20] <KK> We did take time out last night to go to a belated Robbie
Burns night, though, and feasted on haggis.
[18:20] * Martine has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[18:20] <DeryniBot> Welcome Martine to #Deryni_Destinations - The
virtual home of Katherine Kurtz
[18:20] <Martine> Hi all again!
[18:20] <Mistyck> hiyas Martine! lookie who's here!
[18:20] <the_Bee> rehi Martine
[18:20] <Martine> I see :-)
[18:20] <Martine> Just finished dinner and got laundry going :-)
[18:20] <KK> Kitties are fine, all 5 3/4 of them. (The 3/4 is Sasha,
who's now spending considerable time with us--but only in the kitchen.
[18:20] <RainbowDragon> Bynw, have you seen the newsgroup post about
the Deryni MUSH game that fellow is trying to start?
[18:20] <Martine> And fed John some aspirin ;-)
[18:20] <Bynw> nope i haven't
[18:21] <Mistyck> ahh...skittish of the others?
[18:21] <Bynw> havent looked at the newsgroup much either
[18:21] <Martine> Hi katherine!
[18:21] <RainbowDragon> she knows where the food is!
[18:21] <Martine> I got your USB key today. I'll see what CompUSA says
about it on Tuesday.
[18:21] <the_Bee> sasha: he or she?
[18:21] <KK> Skittish of the dogs. The other cats aren't too happy
about him either, though he's content to stay in his basket.
[18:22] <KK> he
[18:22] <KK> Excellent, Martine.
[18:22] <Martine> Poor Sasha. At least he's got a warm home and free
food!
[18:22] <Mistyck> nickname for Alexander
[18:23] <the_Bee> Russian cat?
[18:23] <KK> He's a sweetie; really affectionate and cuddly. Loves to
be held. Has a giant-sized purr.
[18:23] <Martine> awww!!
[18:23] <Martine> What's his coloring?
[18:23] <KK> White with grey tiger splotches and an elegant face.
[18:23] <Mistyck> awww!
[18:23] <Sedina> he sound sweet
[18:23] <KK> Bedroom eyes lined with dark kohl lines.
[18:23] <Martine>
kllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.............................
[18:23] <RainbowDragon> there's martine's kitty
[18:24] <Mistyck> hiyas Rowena
[18:24] <Martine> Sorry. I seem to have a velcro kitty after being away
two days :-P
[18:24] <KK> Was that Rowena?
[18:24] <Martine> yup
[18:24] <the_Bee> like Sadie and Sedina
[18:24] <Martine> She's trying to make up for two days worth of lost
cuddles <g>
[18:24] <Mistyck> hehe
[18:24] <KK> Can you blame her?
[18:24] <Martine> And I apparently wasn't paying enough attention.
[18:24] <Martine> Not at all ;-)
[18:24] <Sedina> Oh, Sadie's stopped being stuck to me. Thogh she did
weigh me down on the couch yesterday while I took a nap
[18:25] <Mistyck> Evaine has found a new game...
[18:25] <Martine> Rowena was locked in the attic ALL BY HERSELF. It was
tragic in her kitty mind.
[18:25] <KK> Poor baby!
[18:25] <Mistyck> she goes and chases Mika and then when she's got her
pinned down, she licks her...poor Mika starts swatting at her because
she gets confused!
[18:25] <Martine> She couldn't even distract herself by torturing the
rival cat.
[18:25] <Mistyck> lol
[18:25] <KK> I expect Arwen also missed you.
[18:25] * Bynw needs to reboot bbiab
[18:26] <Martine> Yup! She's actually been solicitous of petting this
evening.
[18:26] * Bynw Quit ( Quit: There is no emotion; there is peace. There
is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is
serenity. There is no death; there is the Force. )
[18:26] <Martine> And complained when I did laundry instead of
scritching her! <laugh>
[18:26] <Mistyck> lol!
[18:27] <RainbowDragon> Bynw has a rather neat Quit line there
[18:27] <Mistyck> KK, when is Checkmate supposed to be out?
[18:27] <the_Bee> of course! "how can you think of clean clothes when
I'm here?"
[18:27] <Martine> Getting Arwen up to freefeeding again before we left
was hysterical.
[18:27] <Martine> She'd nibble, then stare at the bowl. She looked like
she was confused because there was food left. Then she'd nibble some
more. ANd stare some more.
[18:27] <Martine> "why is there still food here?
[18:27] <Mistyck> lol!
[18:28] <the_Bee> Arwen wanted to pay or to *be* paid?
[18:28] <Martine> Then she ultimately stalked off in disgust. Her bowl
was NOT behaving properly by cleaning out.
[18:28] <Martine> Arwen's a princess, Bee. She always expects to BE
paid ;-)
