[18:10] <The_Bee> Hi KK
[18:10] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hullo KK, how's things?
[18:10] * web52 is now known as KK
[18:10] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> It's a just because gift. His old one no longer receives updates and is buggy for the things he likes to use it for *cough*roblox*cough*. This will make it usable enough that he's not on mine all the time.
[18:10] <~bynw> Hi KK
[18:10] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Hello, KK!
[18:10] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi KK
[18:10] <The_Bee> I'd love to join, but I'm stillnot sure how it works.
[18:10] <KK> Hello, all.
[18:11] <The_Bee> You're a good mom, Quasijabbo
[18:11] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> How's your week been, KK?
[18:12] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> I try!  It also helps that it was a pretty good deal.  It actually arrived shockingly fast. I ordered it Friday night and it got here this afternoon while we were on the way to Costco
[18:14] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Next up will either be a new computer for me, a new washer/dryer, or a king size bed.  Decisions, decisions....
[18:14] <KK> New computer, I take it?
[18:14] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Computer, no question
[18:15] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Yes, KK. I just set up a new chromebook that I ordered for my son
[18:15] <The_Bee> My family gave up our washing machine after a laundromat opened in the neighborhood.
[18:15] <HoundMistress> Hi, all. Was watching a movie and fell asleep
[18:15] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> That really is what I am leaning toward, Nezz.  But buying a pre-built one instead if building one like I did last time.
[18:16] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Hi HM!  What movie?
[18:16] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> That really is what I am leaning toward, Nezz.  But buying a pre-built one instead of building one like I did last time.
[18:16] <HoundMistress> Hi, Bee, ninjabbp. LL
[18:16] <HoundMistress> KK
[18:16] <The_Bee> Hi HM!
[18:18] <The_Bee> You built a computer, Ninjabbo?
[18:18] <HoundMistress> Everyone OK?
[18:18] <KK> Is everyone Olympics-d out?
[18:18] <HoundMistress> Yes!!
[18:19] <HoundMistress> But USA got gold in Hockey!
[18:19] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I've only seen a little bit
[18:19] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> I did. Probably more than 10 years ago at this point. Time for a new one I think
[18:19] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've only seen a few of the events on YouTube
[18:19] <The_Bee> I'm not much of a sports fan. I'm just glad the USA beat Canada.
[18:19] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> I didn't watch as much as I would have liked. A bit of skating and a bit of skiing
[18:19] <HoundMistress> Some of the skating was good.
[18:20] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I hear there was a cheating scandal in the Ice Dancing. Anyone know anything about that?
[18:20] <The_Bee> Luge and bobsleds are fun to watch.  and the skier spinning in madair before landing in a pone.
[18:20] <HoundMistress> Oh, I hadn't heard of that
[18:21] <The_Bee> What was the event where they think the French judge over-scored the French contestant?
[18:22] <The_Bee> Was that ICE DANCING?
[18:22] <HoundMistress> stnezz? was that it?
[18:23] <The_Bee> not sure
[18:23] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I don't know. All I heard is that there was a scandal. I don't know the nature of it. Coulda been.
[18:23] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Sounds like the kind of thing the French would cheat in (j/k) 😉
[18:23] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[18:23] <KK> May have been. Don't recall a cheating issue, though.
[18:23] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Hi jerusha!
[18:24] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Jerusha's here! The party can really start now!
[18:24] <HoundMistress> Sadly, I think you're right about that, stnezz
[18:24] * CG [discord] <jerusha2> Hammy looks for a party hat
[18:24] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi Jerusha
[18:24] * CG [discord] <stnezz> makes a party hat that's just Hammy's size, complete with peanuts dangling from the brim
[18:25] * CG [discord] <jerusha2> Hammy nibbles at the brin
[18:25] <HoundMistress> Well, it was the ice dancing but there are several cases going on
[18:25] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> brim, I meant
[18:25] <HoundMistress> Hi, evie! Jerusha
[18:25] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hello
[18:25] <~bynw> Summary: There was a significant judging controversy in the ice dance competition at the 2026 Winter Olympics, with many fans and commentators suggesting bias or unfair scoring. However, official governing bodies have not concluded that there was actual cheating or intentional manipulation in the judging. The controversy reflects broader frustrations with subjective scoring in
[18:25] <~bynw> judged sports rather than an established cheating scandal.
[18:25] <~bynw> hi Jerusha
[18:26] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Just got in. I'm trying to take a walk each day—not a long walk, just something—and also attending to the plants, the birdbath, and such.
[18:26] <The_Bee> Ta for the info, bynw
[18:26] <HoundMistress> There was something about Canada being banned for life?
[18:26] <The_Bee> from what?
[18:26] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> How's the birdbath, TM?
[18:27] <HoundMistress> I don't know, just saw it, didn't read it.
[18:27] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Has Canada been banned from the birdbath?
[18:27] <HoundMistress> Yes, Canada can never again ice dance on a bird bath
[18:27] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> No, birdbaths have been banned from Canada. They freeze too easily, and the birds crash land into them and hurt their little heads.
[18:28] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> And they need little, tiny skates
[18:28] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> hello everyone,  just picked up an entire bag of unpopped popcorn from my floor, while trying to lock the dogs out fo the kitchen.
[18:28] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I'm trying to visualize bird feet with skates
[18:28] <HoundMistress> Hi, laurnarose
[18:28] <~bynw> hi Laurna
[18:28] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Laurna!
[18:28] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Oh dear, Laurna
[18:28] <~bynw> that sounds like popcorn abuse
[18:28] <HoundMistress> They are tiny and have a wide toe area
[18:29] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> It was indeed, popcorn abusee
[18:29] <KK> Canada banned for life? For what, an whose life?
[18:29] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Oh my gosh, can  you picture the tiny little bird bath zamboni?
[18:29] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> So cool!
[18:29] <~bynw> easily nezz
[18:29] <HoundMistress> Has my friend, Sandy been on?
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Not that I've seen, HM
[18:30] <KK> How did frozen birdbaths come up at the Olympics?
[18:30] <~bynw> https://i.pinimg.com/originals/82/fa/51/82fa5143e8918f3ba051b733f668b043.jpg
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Actually, my birdbath is mostly a deer waterer. It'd be down inches each night during the depths of summer.  Now it's keeping its level for days and days.
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Two different conversations merged, KK. As they do.
[18:31] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I'm so glad you found that one: just as I'd typed that, it occurred to me that Woodstock had indeed driven a zamboni. 🙂
[18:31] <HoundMistress> Yes, he did!
[18:31] <CG> [discord] <bynw> that's how i knew it was easy to picture
[18:32] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Back from looking up the word Zamboni
[18:32] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> TM said something about taking a walk and checking on the plants and the birdbath, and then Jerusha made a comment about Canada being banned from the birdbaths, and it just took off from there.
[18:32] <~bynw> so we went from 20 degrees above the average for this time of year to 20 degrees below the average in the course of a day  60+ degrees one day and the next we have 5+ inches of snow
[18:32] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Apparently there's controversy about Canada's curlers.
[18:32] * Quits: KK (Quit: Client closed)
[18:33] <~bynw> we lost KK
[18:33] <HoundMistress> Uh-oh!

[18:33] * Joins: web6
[18:33] <~bynw> wb KK
[18:33] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> How will Canadians style their hair if curlers are banned?
[18:33] * web6 is now known as KK
[18:33] <~bynw> LOL Evie
[18:33] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> We'd have to ask Jerusha
[18:33] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> They will just rock the look
[18:33] <HoundMistress> That's right, evie! How will they?
[18:33] <KK> Curling is an interesting sport.
[18:34] <HoundMistress> Lou like curling, but it put me to sleep.
[18:34] <The_Bee> I think itwas the sport of curling.  Apparently you're not supposed to touch the stone while it's moving.
[18:34] <~bynw> ❄️ Curling "Double Touching" Debate
[18:34] <~bynw> A significant dispute occurred in curling when Sweden accused Canada's men's team of a violation involving double-touching stones — an issue that sparked heated reactions from competitors and fans.
[18:34] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> The problem was a double touch
[18:35] <The_Bee> ah, ok
[18:35] <HoundMistress> You can only scrub in front of it with those broom things.
[18:35] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Does anyone who actually knows anything about curling know if the Canadians did actually cheat?
[18:35] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Not me
[18:36] <The_Bee> did they say it was unintentional?
[18:36] <~bynw> i dont know anything about it. i have a friend who used to play in high school (she's from MN) but i don't know anything.
[18:36] <The_Bee> touch?
[18:38] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Perhaps we need to go back to Archangels at Tea
[18:39] <HoundMistress> I watched a little of it and the Canadian stuck his finger out and touched the stone while it was moving.
[18:39] <The_Bee> I hear several new sports will be introduced in the next Summer Olympics.
[18:39] <HoundMistress> Were the archangels touching the stone whilst drinking tea?
[18:40] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That might make them spill the tea
[18:40] <The_Bee> No. It was Bostonians during the Boston Tea Party.
[18:40] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> I heard synchronized skating will be coming to the winter Olympics in either 2030 or 2034. I can't remember which
[18:41] <HoundMistress> But how were the curling in the harbor?
[18:42] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> you'd think those stones would drop like stones
[18:42] <The_Bee> They borrowed Plymouth Rock for a stone.
[18:42] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> I believe all of the rocks come from Scotland
[18:42] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> That is a mighty large rock
[18:42] <HoundMistress> Now, THERE
[18:42] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> the curling rocks came from Scotland?
[18:43] <HoundMistress> There's a sight to behold.
[18:43] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> The Olympic ones, I think
[18:43] <The_Bee> The tide was low, so it was above water.
[18:44] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Plymouth Rock is actually surprisingly small.  "Over the years, people chipped away at the portion of the Rock that remained on the shoreline, removing hundreds of pounds of stone as souvenirs."
[18:45] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> durned turists
[18:45] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> durned tourists
[18:45] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> "Tourons", I've heard them called.
[18:45] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> But we digress ... all over the map, literally.
[18:45] <The_Bee> Plymouth Rock is now protecte by a sort of cage.
[18:45] <HoundMistress> Yes, people just can't resist souvenirs
[18:46] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> It was your fault, TM... mentioning birdbaths during the Olympics... 😉
[18:46] <KK> I'd heard that. Also the reason you can't get close enough to Stonehenge to touch it, unlike the first time I went there.
[18:46] <HoundMistress> Probably the same tourists
[18:46] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[18:46] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I'm cool with leaving Plymouth Rock and Stonehenge alone, but I do with I'd gotten a piece of the Berlin wall.
[18:46] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I'm cool with leaving Plymouth Rock and Stonehenge alone, but I do wish I'd gotten a piece of the Berlin wall.
[18:47] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Gah, my typing is horrendous today!
[18:47] <HoundMistress> Young people today don't even know it existed
[18:47] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> They should visit Kīlauea. It's making new rock all the time, and anyone trying to walk out into the crater probably gets what they deserve.
[18:47] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I know! It's been gone longer than it was up!
[18:47] <HoundMistress> LOL!
[18:48] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I visitied Kilauea  and I did not touch the rocks there.
[18:48] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I do have (what was purported to be) a little bit of the Berlin Wall.  It might be as authentic as a piece of the True Cross, or the skull of Brian Boru as a child.
[18:48] <HoundMistress> As we know because you are still here.
[18:48] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Leave only footprints, take only memories
[18:48] <The_Bee> Or take only pictures
[18:48] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> That works too!
[18:49] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Yesterday's memory:  I got an introduction to a lovely 30 year old Harris Hawk.
[18:49] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1475293500604940329/image.png?ex=699cf5a4&is=699ba424&hm=8f1389af6169a30fa95bbef45e34e32852f1b73da4a5e8caa22f9d94be652bca&;
[18:49] <~bynw> my brother has a few chunks of the Berlin Wall. And they are authentic as he chissled it himself
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> The perfect accessory
[18:50] <HoundMistress> Aww! Sweet!!
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I visited Kīlauea a few years ago. Saw the crater, a lava tube, lots of greenery (this was a mile or two from the active vents!), and such.
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> If anyone wants to look in on it from time to time, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXKuUyKt8mc is the one I prefer. (USGS has two more there). Every few days to week or so, fountains of lava for perhaps half a day.
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> And my friends said allow to a barn owl.
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1475293737847492668/image.png?ex=699cf5dc&is=699ba45c&hm=a7fc55abee483c0b2646fa9fdb9bb106f087293931beda298f48f4093d66fdbb&;
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Nice
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> And my friends said hellow to a barn owl.
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1475293737847492668/image.png?ex=699cf5dc&is=699ba45c&hm=a7fc55abee483c0b2646fa9fdb9bb106f087293931beda298f48f4093d66fdbb&;
[18:51] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Such a pretty bird!
[18:51] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I pity the poor owls, waiting around for humans to invent barns.
[18:51] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[18:51] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> What was going on yesterday, Laurna?
[18:51] <KK> Lovely hawk, and owl.
[18:52] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Riverside Dicken's Festival.  after several years they are starting it back up again in a nice park
[18:52] <The_Bee> Is that another bird on her head? or a hat?
[18:52] <KK> At least at this time of year, you wouldn't die of the heat.
[18:52] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> "Perch nicely birdie ... *or else* ..."
[18:53] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Hat and Ostrage feathers.
[18:53] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> It was cool yesterday.  but at least not rainy
[18:54] <HoundMistress> It' s going to be in the 30's tonight here.
[18:54] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Supposed to be dropping here also
[18:54] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I shall pass on portaling to your house for tonight
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> It's going down to 36F or so tonight
[18:55] <The_Bee> We're expecting a blizzard along much of the east coast.
[18:55] <HoundMistress> A couple of weeks ago I had the A/C on briefly.
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> burr
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I went outside in a t-shirt and no sweater or jacket to get the mail today, and the temperature was pleasant. But it's supposed to be around 25F tomorrow when I wake up.
[18:55] <KK> Today it snowed off and on, in little squalls. About an inch, patchy on the ground.
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Nice
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> wow
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <bynw> here is my up and down crazy 10 day forecast
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <bynw> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1475295152120791211/IMG_3650.png?ex=699cf72d&is=699ba5ad&hm=9976375ca827ff8596e28e690bb98cd6fbe3cfe2281b0c953bd30ffae32d0911&;
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> We had some flurries here today. 20s and 30s all week with a spike up to 49 on Friday
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> We finally got a wee bit of snow this week: maybe 1 1/2 inches, but it stuck to the ground. 🙂
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yeah, I think our temps are supposed to yo-yo like that too this week
[18:56] <HoundMistress> The driver I had there said something about the mountains blocking some weather in VA?
[18:57] <CG> [discord] <bynw> i hope the weather is nice on the 9th
[18:57] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> What happens the 9th?
[18:57] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Why the 9th?
[18:57] <HoundMistress> What's on the 9th?
[18:58] <The_Bee> The prediction for Boston is 16-20 inches of "heart attack" snow.
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Is that someon'es birthday?
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Thanks for the reminder. Low: 36 °F tonight here. I guess I should trundle the frost-sensitive plants inside for the night. ... when it's been warms for a couple of weeks.
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Save the plants
[18:59] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I heard the east coast snow was supposed to be wet and heavy, so "heart-attack snow" makes perfect sense.
[18:59] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> You gang are making me cuddle my tea cup
[18:59] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Oh! I got my totes of Christmas decorations back into the crawlspace today! Finally!
[18:59] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Thanks for THAT reminder. I should pack away the Christmas stuff too.
[18:59] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Good for you Quasi
[19:00] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I have all mine put away
[19:00] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's after Candlemass, so if you haven't put up the Christmas decor by now, you might as well just tie purple ribbons to the tree and call it a Lent Tree
[19:00] <HoundMistress> I only had my nativity set up and Devin took it down and put it all back in the boxes.
[19:00] <The_Bee> My Chistmas lights are still outside; I just don't plug them in.
[19:00] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Then in a few more weeks, it can be an Easter Tree
[19:00] <~bynw> because the 9th is the best day of the year ....
[19:01] <HoundMistress> Is it your birthday?
[19:01] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Nope, it's the 27th
[19:01] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The 9th is the 27th?  😉
[19:01] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> We also discovered a lovely Iittle shop about 20 minutes away that has all kinds of vintage and oddity type things for sale.
[19:01] <~bynw> yes HM
[19:01] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Anniversary?
[19:01] <HoundMistress> 9th of March?
[19:01] <~bynw> yes
[19:02] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> See, March 9 is good because it's the third month times 3
[19:02] <HoundMistress> Ah, you are a fellow Pisces
[19:02] <KK> Yes, was also Scott's birthday.
[19:02] <~bynw> it's also the late Major Scott's bday too.
[19:02] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The 9th of March is when I take my MIL to a couple of doctor's appointments, but I'm fairly sure bynw isn't celebrating that
[19:02] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> But March 27 is better because it's the third month times 3 times 3
[19:02] <The_Bee> Lucky 3 cubed. 3x3x3
[19:02] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Exactly!
[19:03] <~bynw> march is full of birthdays
[19:03] <HoundMistress> Is that your birthday stnezz
[19:03] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Yup
[19:03] <~bynw> and some sad days too
[19:03] <The_Bee> Melantha died in March.
[19:03] <~bynw> oh .... tomorrow our puppies turn 3 years old
[19:03] <HoundMistress> Mine is the 1st but if I'd been born on the 2nd it would have been on Texas Independence Day
[19:04] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> My wedding anniversary is in March
[19:04] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Yay for 3-year-old puppies!
[19:04] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> My Mousie turns 19 in 3 days. Second-oldest cat I've ever had.

[19:05] <HoundMistress> Happy birthday, Mousie!!
[19:05] <KK> Well done, Nezz. What do you feed Mousie?
[19:06] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hill's Science diet. I feed them the C/d kibble and A/d cans.
[19:06] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Her mommy will be 20 if she lasts until June.
[19:06] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Wow
[19:07] <HoundMistress> I've always fed Purina Cat Chow and had several live into their teens. My first cat was almost 19 when she died.
[19:07] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Bynw, how long are  your puppies expected to live?
[19:09] <~bynw> 14 to 18 years on average for a Chihuahua
[19:09] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> So you should get another decade of love out of your babs. 🙂
[19:10] <HoundMistress> They are small dogs, so should have a good life span. Oh, thinking of dogs made me think of my brother< Pat, who recently proposed to his girlfriend
[19:10] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Nice
[19:10] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Did she say yes?
[19:10] <~bynw> quite possible
[19:10] <KK> Dogs remnded you of her?
[19:10] <HoundMistress> Yes, she did! Can't imagine why!
[19:10] <The_Bee> Was it puppy love?
[19:10] <HoundMistress> No,. of him for some reason. He does have a dog.
[19:11] <HoundMistress> Old puppies
[19:11] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Gratz to the happy couple. 🙂
[19:11] <HoundMistress> Thanks on their behalf. We always wondered if he would marry again.
