[18:04] <~bynw> Hi KK
[18:04] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> hey KK 🙂
[18:04] <KK> Hello, all.
[18:04] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Howdy
[18:04] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Just the four of us? Cool!
[18:05] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> How's your week been, KK?
[18:06] <KK> It's been good.  Have accomplished a lot.
[18:06] * Joins: HoundMistress
[18:06] <HoundMistress> Hello everyone
[18:07] <~bynw> hi HoundMistress
[18:07] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Oh, those are the best weeks! I finally finished a scene that's been giving me fits for weeks, glad to have that one off my plate.
[18:07] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hi HM!
[18:07] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi HM
[18:07] <HoundMistress> Happy Sunday!
[18:08] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> And to you. 🙂
[18:08] <~bynw> i had a great evening last night. i think my hearing has recovered too
[18:09] <HoundMistress> Did you go to a concert?
[18:09] * Joins: The_Bee
[18:09] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Bee
[18:10] <~bynw> yes saw the 40th anniversary tour for Dream Theater (a progressive metal band)
[18:10] <HoundMistress> Hi, Bee
[18:10] <The_Bee> Hi Nezz and all of you
[18:10] <The_Bee> Hi HM
[18:10] <~bynw> hi Bee
[18:11] <HoundMistress> Bubbie is on the computer table, playing with the blinds on the window.
[18:11] <The_Bee> Hi Bubbie
[18:12] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hellos to Bubbie from Shelly and Mousie
[18:12] <HoundMistress> She's busy investigating things she has already investigated to death.
[18:13] <HoundMistress> Hi, to Shelly and Mousie from Bubbie
[18:14] <~bynw> they didnt play my favorite song though (they have from time to time during this tour so i was hopeful)
[18:14] <KK> Daphne is on the back of my chair.
[18:14] <~bynw> thats a good play for a cat KK
[18:14] <HoundMistress> What's your favorite song?
[18:14] <The_Bee> Supervising your chat, KK
[18:14] <KK> And much better than meatloafing between keyboard and monitor.
[18:15] <HoundMistress> Le chat subre la chat?
[18:15] <KK> OOps, I shouldn't have said that. She's now down on the desk, though at one end.
[18:15] <~bynw> my fav Dream Theater song is "Pull me Under" from the Images and Words ablum .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HYwgmeSToM  (lyric video)
[18:15] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> She knew you were talking about her and just *had* to prove you wrong
[18:15] <HoundMistress> I hear Bubbie in the other room chomping on her food.
[18:17] <KK> Now she's on my lap. which is ok.
[18:17] * The_Bee scritches Daphne.
[18:18] <~bynw> my andi bengal kitty always used to sit on the back of my computer chair
[18:19] <~bynw> she was a daddy's girl and never left my side
[18:19] <HoundMistress> That sounds interesting! Kind of Black Sabbath/Scorpions-y
[18:19] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> @Bynw the thumbnail of lyrics is more like Ash Wednesday (memento homo) than Ordinary Time (which I think we're in).
[18:19] <KK> Interesting, but not my cup of tea.
[18:20] <HoundMistress> My Bestie, Gala, who is 80, can't get into heavy medal. She tolerates the Beatles on the car radio
[18:20] <~bynw> it is heavy metal music
[18:21] <HoundMistress> Metal
[18:21] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I only got into metal (mostly symphonic) a few years ago
[18:22] <HoundMistress> I like The Scorpions, some of Ozzie's stuff and Demented? The ones that do The Sound of Silence so well
[18:22] <The_Bee> folk music, broadway tunes, Gospel and hymns for me
[18:22] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I thought I liked metal many years ago, but I was mistaken
[18:23] <~bynw> i can put that on the same "mix tape" or mp3 rotation with Bach and others
[18:23] <HoundMistress> LOL Nezz
[18:23] <~bynw> that's Disturped HoundMistress....and yes they do an awesome remake/reimaging of Sounds of Silence. very powerful
[18:24] <HoundMistress> I've had my car player on Sirius XM The Beatles for 5 yeasrs now and still hear new songs.
[18:24] <CG> [discord] <derynifank> Hi everyone.
[18:24] <~bynw> Beatles are good too
[18:24] <The_Bee> Hi DFK
[18:24] <HoundMistress> Disturbed! That's it!
[18:24] <~bynw> hi DFK are you feeling better??
[18:24] <HoundMistress> Hi, DFK
[18:24] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> DFK!!! how are you?
[18:25] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi DFK!
[18:25] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> (Sorry I'm so quiet on this end. My family decided it was the perfect time to start group texting just as chat was starting here.)
[18:26] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Families are great that way!
[18:26] <~bynw> darn them. it's chat time not texting time
[18:27] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I know, right! It's the time to communicate with others by typing in a box, not to communicate with others by typing in a box!
[18:27] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL!
[18:27] <HoundMistress> I'm waiting for my brother to call, he of the new grandchild, a boy
[18:27] <The_Bee> baby's name?
[18:27] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I wouldn't mind except that I only have two hands, and it's hard to type on a keyboard while Swyping on a touch screen simultaneously
[18:28] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Congrats to the brother!
[18:28] <HoundMistress> That's funny!!
[18:28] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And his family
[18:28] <HoundMistress> Thanks, I'll pass it along. They have a toddler girl and now the boy, whose name is ...Fisher Daniel Tompkins
[18:28] <~bynw> during chat time i only take calls and text from KK incase there are technical issues
[18:29] <HoundMistress> If I don't answer my brothers right away, they start thinking something is wrong...
[18:29] <HoundMistress> Not that they care enough to come LOOK IN on me.
[18:29] <CG> [discord] <derynifank> I'm home but my husband had to go back to the hospital. Not sure where things will end up
[18:30] <HoundMistress> So sorry to hear that DFK!
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Speaking of interruption: I just got to reading email, and a lot of KK's works (electronic formats) are on sale for today only. I'll put them in the shout box on the forum, as I was requested.
[18:30] <~bynw> oh no DFK, hope your hubby is ok
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Oh, dear, DFK!
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I'm glass you're well enough to be home *hugs *
[18:30] <The_Bee> Evie, don't your family know that Sunday is Deryni Destinations time?
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I saw that the first two of the Camber audiobooks are coming out next week
[18:31] <HoundMistress> I'll have to tell Mary The Nun
[18:31] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My husband does, at least, but the time it starts isn't exactly on the front burner of his mind, and my kids haven't lived at home in years, so they've likely forgotten.
[18:32] <HoundMistress> Are they on Amazon? The books
[18:32] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes, and other audiobook websites
[18:32] <HoundMistress> Great!
[18:32] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Well, Audible, but Audible is part of Amazon now
[18:34] <KK> Is it?
[18:34] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Ok, i love how the clouds crawl over the mountains on days like today.
[18:34] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1422003641371328512/IMG_6716.jpg?ex=68db1797&is=68d9c617&hm=e1f488529b0f23a04372e41a5970238468dab2e37b596f7d4411ff38f00a8803&;
[18:34] <~bynw> its been part of amazon for a while
[18:35] <~bynw> that looks cool Nezz
[18:35] <HoundMistress> Ooooo! That's beautiful!!
[18:35] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> DFK, do you want to mention any details about your husband? Last I saw, you'd mentioned that you went into the hospital with a couple of infections, but I don't remember anything with your husband.
[18:35] <The_Bee> Not a big fan of audio books.  I want my reading time to be a quiet time.
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I can do an audiobook occasionally if I want to read a book while doing something else with my hands, but I can't listen while driving or doing anything that requires focus
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I like the idea of audiobooks, I just don't comprehend as well listening as I do reading.
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> For something to listen to while folding laundry or cooking, it's fine
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And yes, this too. I'm much more visual than auditory
[18:38] <CG> [discord] <derynifank> We both had Covid. I also had a UTI. They discharged him when they should not have and he had to be readmitted. Will need to go to rehab next time.
[18:38] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hopefully he recovers soon
[18:39] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Indeed. I hope the rehab gets him back into shape.
[18:40] <HoundMistress> Am I still here? Not getting any chat.
[18:40] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yup
[18:40] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I C HM
[18:40] <The_Bee> We're seeing you
[18:41] <HoundMistress> Hope he is home and better soon!
[18:41] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> DFK.  I am so glad you have made it home. and so sorry to hear your husband had to go back in.  I wish both of you quick recovery.
[18:41] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi Everyone!  Discord made me reboot before I could come online
[18:41] <~bynw> you are still here
[18:41] <~bynw> hi Jerusha
[18:41] <HoundMistress> Thanks!
[18:41] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha!
[18:41] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[18:41] <KK> Healing energies headed your way, HM.
[18:41] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Hope your DH recovers quickly, DFK
[18:42] <The_Bee> You need to fiddle with the keys or chatbot will think you've left.
[18:42] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> In more cloud news, I never saw actual sunbeams anywhere other than Utah.
[18:42] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1422005612945997965/IMG_6721.jpg?ex=68db196d&is=68d9c7ed&hm=81db894e5f27ca8e1230f14b955e4b0a5a9d552b40b0372fdefee1b2cf1f005f&;
[18:42] <KK> And to DFK....and to all of you!
[18:42] <HoundMistress> So pretty!!!
[18:43] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Cool
[18:43] <HoundMistress> Thanks, KK
[18:43] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Laurna, hi Jerusha!
[18:43] <~bynw> that's pretty too Nezz. always cool when the sunbeams come in through clouds like that
[18:43] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We have sunbeams
[18:43] <The_Bee> Where is that?
[18:43] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Pretty
[18:43] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> That picture looks like an ad for Inspirational Hymns from a no-name music company from 1970s TV commercials.
[18:43] <HoundMistress> How far away are those mountains?
[18:43] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Just outside of Salem, Utah.
[18:44] <The_Bee> Hi Laurna
[18:44] <HoundMistress> Hi, Laurna
[18:44] <~bynw> hi Laurna
[18:44] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi Laurna
[18:44] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi Laurna and Jerusha
[18:45] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Jerusha, how are things with you?
[18:46] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> It is a nice fall day.  I built the baby chickens a larger chicken house and moved them over yesterday.  they like it.
[18:46] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Things are good here.  Leaves are falling off of the trees.  Two grandsons are starting hockey for the season. (youth and little kids hockey)
[18:46] * ~bynw is not having fall days ...highs in the 80s and may even hit 90
[18:47] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Laurna, you have chickens?
[18:47] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Little kids hockey sounds like fun to watch
[18:47] <The_Bee> 79f here
[18:47] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> BTW, is there a term for the books after the original trilogy? Bishop's Heir + King's Justice + Quest for KK STOP THROWING STUFF AT US JEEZ THE FIRST BIT WAS ENOUGH, King's Kelson's Bride?
[18:47] <HoundMistress> We are still in the 90s here, near Austin
[18:47] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Chickens or peachicks, Laurna?
[18:47] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Our leaves are totally turning red
[18:47] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I read that as "I built the baby chickens a larger chicken house and moved over with them yesterday."  I was like "Laurna moved into a chicken house?  Eww!"  😄
[18:47] <KK> We're in the 70s, and leaves are beginning to fall.
[18:48] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> She's feathering her nest
[18:48] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> You mean, does that trilogy have a name like the other trilogies do?
[18:48] <HoundMistress> My friend Sandy, who I called and who got me onto the first trilogy in 1976 just started King Kelson's Bride.
[18:48] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> E-book sales for today: 6 Deryni novels, a couple of Templar books (I'd never even heard of "On Crusade")
[18:48] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> The peachicks hatched on 9/4/2025. when I went to the feed store to buy them chick starter food.  the feed store had just gotten in 2 day old baby chickens.  So I brought home four.  then a few days later I went and got four more.   Now I have 8 chickens and 2 Peachicks.
[18:49] <KK> That one isn't part of a trology.
[18:49] <KK> Trilogy, either.
[18:49] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> What are you going to do with all of the chicks?
[18:49] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> It *could * be... *wink wink *
[18:49] <HoundMistress> eggs?
[18:49] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> "The Histories of King Kelson"  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deryni_novels
[18:50] <The_Bee> Do trolls write trologies?
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> On a good day, Bee
[18:50] <KK> If they're hens, great. Sadly, the roosters usually end up as dinner.
[18:50] <HoundMistress> LOL, Bee!
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> We're just pulling up to my BIL's house, so chatting will be intermittent for me.
[18:51] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> The rooster who attacked my Dad as a boy ended up in the pot very quickly
[18:51] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Spolers for the Histories of King Kelson: The Kelson Trollogy is Kelson's Getting Married, Psych Haha, & Maybe Now
[18:52] <~bynw> fresh chicken eggs are the best
[18:52] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Might have 8 eggs a day come next spring
[18:52] <~bynw> and of course there is always a surplus to sale to others
[18:52] <HoundMistress> Sandy said she cried off and on with the first two of that trilogy and now hopes KKB will be happier
[18:52] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Or friendly neighbors get eggs?
[18:53] <~bynw> keep them unwashed and they last out of the fridge even
[18:53] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> The neighbors or the eggs?
[18:53] <The_Bee> Is it true that you can tell from the shape of an egg whether it contains a hen-chick or a rooster-chick??
[18:53] <HoundMistress> Bad neighbors get egged?
[18:53] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> No Bee
[18:54] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I don't want to egg my neighbors, that would just not be neighborly
[18:54] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Not with Halloween so close
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> These chicks are guarenteed 95%hens.   there should be no roosters in the batch
[18:55] <HoundMistress> Scoop up any stray black kitties you see
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <derynifank> Thanks to all of you for your good wishes. Going to sign off now. Will keep you posted.
[18:55] <The_Bee> I read once that rounder eggs contain hens and longer eggs contain roosters.
[18:55] <~bynw> see ya DFK
[18:55] <HoundMistress> Sending love DFK
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> DFK.  Get some good sleep and hope to see you more often on Discord
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Laurna, you are about to be overrun with roosters (never trust a guarentee)
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[18:55] <The_Bee> Bye DFK! glad you came
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> New chapter tomorrow, DFK
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Have a good week, DFK.  Hope all goes well
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> My county has made it iligal to sell roosters.  so  I highly doubt there will be any roosters in the batch
[18:56] <HoundMistress> I know what used to happen to extra roosters when I was a kid...Capon!
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Might be posted pretty early, since I have to wake up early to take the grandprogeny to daycare
[18:57] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> The joys of daycare!
[18:57] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> little grandbabies going to day care.    they must be so cute by now.
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> She's four months old now
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Is there only one grandbaby, Evie?
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Just the one
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> 4 months.  wowo
[18:58] <The_Bee> Abigail
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> And a girl!
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> aka The Little Empress
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Perfect
[18:59] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> I have three sons and three grandsons.  Sigh....
[18:59] <HoundMistress> Any chance of a granddaughter in the future?
[18:59] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> tell those sons to get busy at least one more time
[18:59] <HoundMistress> Yes!
[18:59] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> I doubt it, HM.
[18:59] <HoundMistress> Oh, =(
[19:00] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> But I like to think Hammy is a female
[19:00] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[19:00] <~bynw> my DW has 4 granddaughters and 3 grandsons
[19:01] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> that is a nice smattering
[19:02] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> https://tenor.com/view/balthazar-hamster-roue-gif-4082195080463974942 embed: https://tenor.com/view/balthazar-hamster-roue-gif-4082195080463974942
[19:02] <~bynw> that range in age from 22 to a few months
[19:02] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Aack  poor thing
[19:02] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> That would be the story of my life, Nezz!
[19:02] <HoundMistress> Poor hamster!
[19:03] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Been there once or twice myself
[19:03] <~bynw> hook that wheel up to a geneator
[19:03] <~bynw> *generator
[19:03] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> You and Hammy. 🙂
[19:03] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Two of a kind
[19:04] <HoundMistress> Or is it a jeni-ator?
[19:04] <HoundMistress> djeni-ator?
[19:04] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Or maybe a ham-string
[19:04] <~bynw> LOL
[19:04] <HoundMistress> LOL
[19:04] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> That's the hamster that runs Jerusha's brain for writing
[19:04] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Chris  what song would I recognize that came from the concert you went to?
[19:05] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> And derails frequently
[19:05] <~bynw> i have no idea. what songs by Dream Theater do you know ....
[19:05] <The_Bee> Can   Hammy leave the wheel if she wants to?
[19:05] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I have never heard of Dream Theater before yesterday
[19:06] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> If you lay out a trail of macadamia nuts, she will follow you anywhere!
[19:06] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If those macadamia nuts are in a cookie, I'll follow you anywhere
[19:06] <~bynw> i posted this earlier Laurna ... my fav Dream Theater song is "Pull me Under" from the Images and Words ablum .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HYwgmeSToM  (lyric video)
[19:06] <The_Bee> Good.  Running that wheel looks exhausting.
[19:07] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Even I will follow you if you lay out macadamia nuts.  especially the ones covered in Hawaii chocalat
[19:07] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Writing can be exhausting
[19:07] <~bynw> Dream Theater has a LOT of just instramental songs and most of their songs are over 7 minutes and have long instramental intros, bridges, and endings
[19:08] <HoundMistress> Was it a long concert?
[19:08] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Pretty sound.
[19:08] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Oh yes, chocolate covered macadamia nuts!
[19:08] <~bynw> most of my fav ones all come off the same album
[19:09] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Writting goes fast when you are in tune with the scene. but impossible when you are not.
[19:09] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Very true, Laurna!
[19:10] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> True dat
[19:10] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Or when the dice roll bursts into flames
[19:10] <The_Bee> Chocolate reminds me: I've volunteered to provide snack for church after-service coffee hour next week.
[19:10] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Side note: someone tested whether mice liked running in wheels. (An alternative is that it's a stress behavior in captivity.) They setup a running wheel in the woods with a camera and, yes, mice love running in a wheel, even without a reward. (Distant #2 was slugs ... don't know what's going on there.)
[19:11] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Odd fact TM
[19:11] <The_Bee> Mice like slugs? or slugs like running in wheels?
[19:11] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Slugs don't run very fast
[19:11] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I was going to say that would be very slow running
[19:12] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Slugs were the #2 animal "running" in the wheel, but I doubt they understood it.
[19:12] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> And they slime the wheel
[19:13] <~bynw> another good DT song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VigPPJ6j40
[19:13] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Something I meant to ask: I'm pondering a fanfic and (if so) I might like a consultation. We have a minister active in Discord, right? Who is that? My memory is inferior.
[19:13] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> The last song got a little too hard rock for me
[19:13] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> TM, Revanne and Demercia are both Anglican priests
[19:13] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> That would be Revanne
[19:13] <~bynw> we have several priests in the chat/forum
[19:14] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> There's also this bishop named Katherine you might have heard of
[19:14] <~bynw> Revanne and her sister, our own KK, i'm sure there are others hiding about too. we've lost at least one when JastaElf passed away
[19:14] <HoundMistress> Hence the popularity of Duncan
[19:15] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> The other popularity being a nice-looking fellow in a nice-looking cassock, I think.
[19:15] <KK> Sharon is still much missed.
[19:15] <~bynw> yes she is KK
[19:16] <HoundMistress> I think she passed not long before I got on the Chat.
[19:16] <~bynw> my fav redheaded priest
[19:16] <KK> Evie is also a good religious expert.
[19:17] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Expert = former drip under pressure (ex-spurt)?  😉
[19:17] * CG [discord] <jerusha2> looks for mackeral launher
[19:17] <KK> LOL. No, you've given ourself away in several of  your stories.
[19:17] <~bynw> LOL Evie ... i remember that term
[19:17] <HoundMistress> Speaking of clerics and blessings, I'm having some testing done on the 2nd and any prayers are gratefully received.
[19:18] <The_Bee> not YOU,  Evie! 
[19:18] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Oh, dear, HoundMistress! Best of luck to you!
[19:18] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Yes, HM
[19:18] <KK> You guys are always in my prayers, HM.
[19:19] <HoundMistress> Thanks! Wanted to mention while I was thinking of it. Sometimes it just floats off into the ether
[19:19] <The_Bee> Good-health woodgies for HoundMistress
[19:19] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I was that weird little Baptist kid who was in love with liturgy, which is how I ended up in Episcopal circles by some circuitous wandering around over the course of decades.
[19:20] <HoundMistress> Thanks, Bee!
[19:20] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oct 2?  Will put it on my calendar
[19:20] <HoundMistress> LOL! I was a little Baptist kid who ended up Episcopalian, too.
[19:21] <HoundMistress> Yes, 10/02
[19:22] <~bynw> methodist, baptist, church of christ, lutheran, evangelical free, and visited a few others here and there
[19:22] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> By "weird kid," I mean "That child who is offering the Communion wafer and chalice (note: not the saltine cracker and grape juice) to her teddy bear."  I think CS Lewis must have made an imprint on me or something.  😅
[19:23] <~bynw> thats probably a good thing Evie
[19:23] <HoundMistress> There's my brother so gotta go
[19:23] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> OK.  Hope mom and baby are both doing great
[19:23] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Good evening HM  Be well
[19:24] * Quits: HoundMistress (Quit: Client closed)
[19:24] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Have a good week, HM, and good luck on 2 Oct
[19:24] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've got a bunch of medical stuff coming up in the near future too, but mostly routine checks and such
[19:25] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My dermatologist says I have good skin.  *preens*  I guess that's better than her telling me I have terrible skin.  LOL!
[19:25] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> True
[19:25] * Joins: The_Bee7
[19:26] * Quits: The_Bee (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[19:26] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Or worse, like the ENT who told sensitive preteen me "You've got the ugliest nose I've ever seen!"  😂   (He was talking about the inside. I had chronic nosebleeds as a child.)
[19:26] <The_Bee7> Thechatbot got me again.
[19:26] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Good skin is...good!
[19:26] * The_Bee7 is now known as Bee
[19:27] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> I hope you slugged him
[19:27] <KK> LOL. You guys are a hoot.
[19:27] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL!  I did not slug him. I had a raging crush on him.  So that comment certainly did not help my ego!
[19:27] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Oh dear
[19:27] <~bynw> oh that is terrible Evie
[19:28] <KK> But I also have to check out. Zoom next week! And take care, all!
[19:28] <~bynw> your crush thinks you have an ugly nose ... how depressing
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> See you (literally) next week!
[19:28] <~bynw> you too KK
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Have a good week, KK!
[19:28] <~bynw> see you in Zoom sunday afternoon
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Good night KK, have a good week
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> He was quick to add "...on the inside."  I must have looked as crestfallen as I felt. 🙂
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> I hope you dripped blood on his shoes, Evie
[19:28] * KK steps onto her Portal. waves good night, and disappears in a shower of purple sparkles.
[19:29] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I certainly shed enough blood in his office over that year or two that I saw him regularly!
[19:29] <KK> Ta-ta, and nighters!
[19:29] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Goodnight, KKI!
