[17:18] <KK> hit the cap lock; sorry.
[17:19] <JastaElf> Oh dear-- Scott's going in for cataract surgery??
[17:19] <christophle> so two days max?
[17:19] <the_Bee> which is the wrong eye?
[17:19] * JastaElf sends healing & hugs to Scott
[17:19] <KK> 7 AM or so, but he does get to eat breakfast, since it's
an afternoon surgery list and he's the last one on the list.
[17:19] <KK> Scott is IN for cataract surgery.
[17:19] <Mistyck> that's at least a good thing
[17:19] * ethan sends best wishes and prayers to Scott
[17:19] <Sedina> being able to eat is a good thing
[17:20] <cherie> eating is good.... umm who is scott?
[17:20] <KK> They were going to feed him supper at 5 PM, which is
waaaay too early; so he was going to send out for a pizza later on.
[17:20] <JastaElf> May it all go well and his recovery time be swift!
[17:20] <the_Bee> KK's husband
[17:20] <Debbie-VB> Scott is Mr. katherine Kurtz *giggle*
[17:20] <KK> He gets released Tuesday.
[17:20] <cherie> Ahh well hope it goes well KK
[17:20] <Wrengl> they fed me early the one day i was in a regular room
[17:20] <Sedina> best wishes to him, Katherine...
[17:20] <cherie> Sir KK
[17:20] <Bynw> its Major Sir Mr Katherine Kurtz, Baron
[17:21] <Debbie-VB> oooooooooooooooooo
[17:21] <christophle> yep, best wishes to Scott, KK
[17:21] <the_Bee> AKA Scott MacMillan
[17:21] <KK> I expect it will be fine. His surgeon is also the
surgeon who operated on the opthalmologist's son.
[17:21] <Wrengl> in icu and in the er transitional room we were fed
around 6 or later for dinner
[17:21] <Wrengl> ah
[17:21] <cherie> My hubby never got dinner in the hospital.
[17:21] <Wrengl> that is a good recommendation
[17:21] <Debbie-VB> well, most people in ICU are getting their dinner
intraveniously
[17:21] <Wrengl> this is true
[17:21] <cherie> yeah
[17:21] <KK> As I recall, from when I was in years ago, you get a
snack if supper is way early.
[17:22] <Wrengl> i drove them nuts especially after i was off most of
the iv drugs
[17:22] <JastaElf> And of course it AIN'T haute cuisine....
[17:22] <Wrengl> kept popping the monitor leads
[17:22] <Debbie-VB> What are hospital rates like in Ireland katherine?
[17:22] <KK> But at least he'll be able to see clearly again, once
this is over.
[17:22] <christophle> and if you are in icu, you dont tend to konw you
are being fed!
[17:22] <KK> Dunno; it's all covered by our medical insurance.
[17:22] <Mistyck> very true KK
[17:22] <Wrengl> lol christophle
[17:22] <cherie> My Father in law had cateract surgury and it was
amazing what he could see afterward
[17:22] <Wrengl> i was the most lucid person in icu most of the time
[17:23] <Mistyck> and seeing clearly is a verra good thing indeed
[17:23] <Wrengl> yes it is
[17:23] <KK> I expect you were a breath of fresh air for the staff,
Wrengl.
[17:23] <Mistyck> yep!
[17:23] <cherie> It makes reading much easier
[17:23] <KK> Definitely.
[17:23] <the_Bee> My ex-boos is a lifelong vegetarian, and the
hospital kept trying to feed her beef or chicken bouillon

[17:25] <KK> Barticus.
[17:25] <RainbowDragon> not for a long while
[17:25] <Mistyck> I don't think he's had internet or email access
[17:25] <Laura> nothing, I sent him greetings from the group a while
back, but got no response back from him
[17:25] <Mistyck> last I heard from him was in January

[17:26] <cherie> KK we were wondering what coins they use in Gwynedd
[17:26] <Mistyck> hmmn...nothing much going on in Bosnia though
[17:26] <KK> Ack, don't get me started on the coins! The crew
designing the role playing game were driving me crazy several months
ago. I've left it all in their hands.
[17:26] <Mistyck> I've got email addy for one of his uncles...if we
hear something happened in Bosnia, I guess we can find out via his
uncle if he's ok
[17:27] <cherie> lol ok
[17:27] <KK> Ah, then at least we do have a family connection to keep
tabs on him.
[17:27] <Mistyck> yep
[17:27] <Debbie-VB> So wait until Ann gets in nect time and hit her
with the question Cherie
[17:27] <KK> Ann is in Las Vegas at a gaming convention this weekend,

[17:39] <Dennis> I suggest we give Peer a jolt of the Agonizer from

[17:41] <Annie> yeah, what does that say about me?
[17:41] <cherie> rocks are noo very cuddly
[17:41] <cherie> eels either
[17:41] <Dennis> Several friends of mine have a running joke with the
"good name for a rock band."
[17:41] <Wrengl> hello crabclaw
[17:41] <crabclaw> heya
[17:41] <Sedina> hi, crabclaw
[17:41] <Annie> caught in on holiday in Scotland and brought it home
in a bucket
[17:41] <JastaElf> Hi crabclaw
[17:41] <Wrengl> lol dennis
[17:41] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Welcome, Crabclaw
[17:41] <KK> I suppose the eels are a relic from the days when we
would thwack miscreants with all manner of fishes. Monkfish were my
fish of choice.
[17:41] <cherie> hi crabclaw
[17:41] <Dennis> Hi Crabclaw.
[17:41] <Annie> did well till my dad overwintered it in the coal
cellar
[17:41] <Sedina> now if I were going to bring anything home from
Scotland, I don't think that an eel would be it
[17:42] <cherie> anyone else sensing a theme here?
[17:42] <Mistyck> hehe
[17:42] <Wrengl> lol
[17:42] * Debbie-VB envisions a version of the "fish-slapping dance"
[17:42] <KK> It would be in a kilt, Sedina!
[17:42] <Wrengl> lol debbie
[17:42] <christophle> mmmmmm.... bit fishy
[17:42] <Bynw> kim would bring home a scot sans kilt

[17:42] <Dennis> Welcome back, Bee.
[17:42] <Mistyck> Glasgow next Summer for the WorldCon
[17:42] <the_Bee> I was wondering why everyone had suddenly gone
silent!
[17:42] <KK> VB, I read you loud and clear.
[17:42] <Wrengl> hopefully smoked salmon from scotland next year
[17:43] <Annie> I'm going there!
[17:43] <Bynw> i love you too Sedina :-)
[17:43] <KK> It will be awesome. Scotland is awesome.
[17:43] <Sedina> and KK, I don't know if an eel in a kilt would even
entice me enough to bring it home
[17:43] <Wrengl> looking forward to it
[17:43] <Mistyck> KK will be there too
[17:43] <Annie> not been to a con for about a hundred and fifty years
- looking forward to it
[17:43] * Sedina wants to go to Scotland
[17:43] <Annie> family are from Mull, KK
[17:43] <The_Cat_Whisperer> LOL, Sedina! How would it stay on, any
way?
[17:43] <Debbie-VB> I'd love to see scotland someday, and definitly
Ireland
[17:44] <KK> Sedina, there are far more interesting things to be found
in kilts.
[17:44] * JastaElf wishes she could go ANYwhere. :-(
[17:44] <Mistyck> I'm doing England/Scotland and hopefully Ireland
next year
[17:44] <RainbowDragon> Annie: you look good for a 150 year old :-)
[17:44] <Sedina> that's my thought exactly, KK
[17:44] <KK> lol
[17:44] <Annie> aw shucks
[17:44] <Wrengl> lol
[17:44] <Debbie-VB> I know that feeling annie. Last year was my very
first con
[17:44] <christophle> but can they be eel sized?
[17:44] <Mistyck> now that would be interesting to make them that
small
[17:44] <KK> Depends on the eel.
[17:44] * cherie is going to columbus OH to be surrounded by horsies
in two weeks thats as far as she's going.
[17:45] <christophle> lol
[17:45] <Wrengl> hum, it would be difficult for an eel to wear the
Great Kilt, me thinks
[17:45] <Laura> Nessie in a kilt...now there's an interesting visual
[17:45] * JastaElf imagines eel-sized things in kilts and shakes her
head to clear the image....
[17:45] <christophle> conga?
[17:45] <Annie> oh no, I've really started something here
[17:45] <the_Bee> you need a verra small kilt or a verra large eel
[17:45] <KK> LOL, Jasta!
[17:45] <Annie> so much for standing quietly by the wall ;-)
[17:45] <christophle> a dancing eel in a kilt!
[17:45] <Wrengl> lol
[17:45] <cherie> not possible annie:)
[17:45] <Wrengl> what an image
[17:45] * Dov much prefers shortbread.
[17:45] <Mistyck> yep Annie
[17:45] <Bynw> LOL Jasta, a bit of TMI
[17:46] * Debbie-VB wouldn't mind seeing Viggo in a kilt
[17:46] <Mistyck> welcome to our chatroom
[17:46] <JastaElf> Shortbread in a kilt, Dov???
[17:46] <cherie> mmmmmm Vigo.;P
[17:46] <Wrengl> lol jasta
[17:46] <Annie> Viggo in a kilt sounds good to me
[17:46] <Dov> No kilt.
[17:46] <Annie> lol
[17:46] <the_Bee> Nessie is Scottish, why shouldn't s/he wear a kilt?
Urquart tartan maybe?
[17:46] <Mistyck> ooh, that sounds even better...Viggo sans Kilt
[17:46] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Me too, Annie ;-)
[17:46] <Laura> BTW, Happy St Pat's day to all a few days early
[17:46] <cherie> nah needs to be some mysttery left
[17:47] <Dennis> Thanks, Laura. And to you, too.
[17:47] <Mistyck> Same to you Laura
[17:47] <The_Cat_Whisperer> I agree, Cherie
[17:47] <Debbie-VB> St. Pat's day is not one of my faves, ever since a
close friend died of cancer on that day
[17:47] <cherie> Besides I only love him for his horse
[17:47] <KK> It's apt to be a rainy St. Patrick's Day here.
[17:47] <Wrengl> same to you laura
[17:47] * JastaElf hugs VB
[17:48] <RainbowDragon> Do they do anything special on St Pat's day
there, KK?
[17:48] <Mistyck> they already turned the Chicago river green...
[17:48] <Wrengl> rain and snow predicted for St. Pat's Day here
[17:48] <Sedina> huggles, VB
[17:48] <Debbie-VB> thanks Jasta. I still miss her, after 3 yrs.
[17:48] <Mistyck> ughh to all not having a good St Pat's day
[17:48] <Wrengl> huggles vb
[17:48] <KK> It's gotten to be more and more of a spectacle. It's out
national holiday, after all.
[17:48] <Mistyck> huggles, VB
[17:48] <Sedina> it's actually supposed to be fairly nice here for St.
Pat's...of course, it is March, the forecast could change before then
[17:48] <Dov> How's the renovation going, KK?
[17:48] <cherie> My husband died 5 years ago march 24 so I'm not a big
fan either
[17:48] <Dennis> The Charles is green, but I don't think it's for St.
Patrick's.
[17:48] <JastaElf> National holidays can be good things,. They can
also be... excessive.
[17:48] <Wrengl> we often get a blizzard for st pat's day
[17:49] * JastaElf thinks rhapsodically of the Charles.... :-)
[17:49] <KK> We had snow last week, but it didn't stick down here.
But there was snow up on the hills.
[17:49] <Tika> we're getting one tomorrow, Wrengl... should be at your
location just in time
[17:49] <crabclaw> when is pat's day?
[17:49] <Debbie-VB> but I understand that green guinness is more
prevalent in the Us then it is in ireland
[17:49] * cherie tries to pronounce rhapsodically in her head and
can't
[17:49] <the_Bee> March 17
[17:49] * Wrengl remembers one town in mass that routed the parade
past 97 bars
[17:49] <KK> Yes, we don't do silly things like that.
[17:49] <crabclaw> oh yea
[17:49] <Sedina> snow and rain just doesn't sound a good combination,
KK, considering that you're still lacking windows
[17:49] <KK> Wednesday, March 17.
[17:49] <crabclaw> next wednesday -- good
[17:49] <Dennis> LOL! That's a lotta bars.
[17:50] <christophle> well, guys. Gotta go, Iv'e been up since 7:30
and I've worked all day, and I'm ready for bed. ( it's now 23:50hrs).

[17:50] <Wrengl> night christophle
[17:50] <ethan> good night Chris
[17:50] <Dennis> That's gotta be a pretty big town.
[17:50] * christophle steps on to the portal and disappears
[17:50] <christophle> c u all.
[17:50] * christophle Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[17:50] <Sedina> brr, KK
[17:51] <JastaElf> Sounds like lively weather, KK!
[17:51] <Mistyck> hope you had the fires going
[17:51] <Debbie-VB> BTW, katherine, I finished my very first try at
fan-fic, and submitted it to Julianne.
[17:51] <cherie> and I thought having no heat was a problem
[17:51] <Sedina> It sounds like we've got better weather in ND than
you've got there right now
[17:51] <Wrengl> indeed
[17:51] <RainbowDragon> hopefully you have functioning fireplaces
[17:51] <KK> Yep, but I've got to order oil tomorrow. Must have
before Wednesday.
[17:51] <the_Bee> are darkover 2003 pics on the web yet? what address
[17:51] <cherie> How much is Oil there KK?
[17:51] <KK> We have two presently functioning fireplaces--three,
actually--but lots of radiators.
[17:52] <RainbowDragon> thats good
[17:52] <cherie> Mine was $1.60 this week
[17:52] <KK> It costs us around E450 for 1200 litres, which is about
$500-$550; not sure what the exchange is right now.
[17:53] <cherie> sound similar to here then
[17:53] <The_Cat_Whisperer> They are, Bee.
www.deryni.net/darkover03.html
[17:53] <cherie> too much money in any land
[17:53] <KK> And our petrol is 90p per litre, which is around $4.00
per gallon.
[17:53] <ethan> ouch
[17:53] <the_Bee> thanks CW
[17:53] <cherie> WOW! And I though $1.62 was bad
[17:53] <JastaElf> Owww... that's painful pricing!
[17:54] <KK> Yep. You'll understand why I don't have a lot of
patience for Mercans wingeing about gas prices. We've been paying
this for years.
[17:54] <cherie> That's like time to get the horse and catr out
[17:54] <Mistyck> Katherine: Any word on a Deryni Tales 2 or Templar
Anthos 4?
[17:54] <RainbowDragon> Mercans?
[17:54] <cherie> Americans
[17:54] <Annie> must have gone up recently KK - that's similar to ours
and inlaws used to drive to Republic from NI to fill up as it was a
lot cheaper
[17:54] <JastaElf> Amis. Americans.
[17:54] <KK> Not yet. And I haven't pushed, because I'm too far
behind on the current book.
[17:54] <the_Bee> americans
[17:54] <Mistyck> ahh, ok
[17:55] <Laura> I think Mercans are whiny Americans
[17:55] <Dov> Will this one give more details on "The Green Tower?"
[17:55] <Wrengl> indeed
[17:55] <RainbowDragon> I see
[17:55] <Mistyck> yep yep
[17:55] <cherie> Well considering what I have too live on I'll just
keep on whining thanks
[17:55] * JastaElf admits, tho, that she read "Mercians" for "Mercans"
at first... :-)
[17:55] <JastaElf> Been thinking of King Arthur too much. ;-)
[17:55] <Wrengl> i believe gasoline is about 3 a gallon on the west
coast
[17:55] <Mistyck> lol
[17:55] <KK> Nope. Picks up when Alaric is nearly three, and Kenneth
is about to be made Earl of Lendour for life.
[17:55] <Wrengl> 2 on the east
[17:55] * crabclaw Quit
[17:56] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Or is it WINEY, Laura?
[17:56] <Mistyck> it's about $1.50 here
[17:56] <Laura> lol
[17:56] <Wrengl> it is the 1.799 a gallon for heating oil that gets us
[17:56] <Laura> could be
[17:56] <Debbie-VB> I'm so waiting for
[17:56] <Mistyck> yikes Pat!
[17:56] <the_Bee> winey in Napa Valley
[17:56] <Debbie-VB> childe Morgan
[17:56] <Dov> OK, thanks.
[17:56] <ethan> it's about 1.85 here on the north coast
[17:56] <cherie> Can't wait to read it KK
[17:56] <Dennis> I guess Donal's not long for the new book, then.
[17:57] * JastaElf sobs... she likes Donal....
[17:57] <KK> And if I hope to finish it, I'd better knock off for
tonight and go to bed, since it's nearly pumpkin time here.
[17:57] <Wrengl> especially when you live in an uninsallated stone
house
[17:57] <Wrengl> think castle
[17:57] <Mistyck> ok, g'nite KK and have a great week next week
[17:57] <Wrengl> night katherine

[17:58] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves good night, and disappears
in a shower of green sparkles.
