[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:00 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12hi kk
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:00 PM] <Alkari> And because it was pre 9/11, everyone was totally relaxed and security was also minimal
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:04 PM] <DesertRose> I'm not a huge fan of horses; I like them well enough but I'm not a big horse person, but I still totally should have gone and seen the equestrian events, since I was so close.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:05 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK!!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:06 PM] <jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:06 PM] <Annie> LOL cynicalmedic!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:07 PM] <Alkari> Greetings KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:09 PM] <Annie> hi kK
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:10 PM] <Evie> hi KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:11 PM] <cynicalmedic> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:11 PM] <the_Bee> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:18 PM] <Jerusha> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:38 PM] <DesertRose> We had about given up on you, KK. :D
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:50 PM] <Annie> yeah, horses and tarantulas, cynicalmedic. Although tarantulas don't bother me LOL
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:51 PM] <DesertRose> At least for today.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [07:59:59 PM] <KK> Hi, guys. Sorry I'm late. My honorary little sister just arrived from audtria for a surprise visit.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:00:01 PM] <Jerusha> The ice cream worked just as it melted
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:00:02 PM] <jemler> and annie is still here!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:00:04 PM] <Alkari> I desperately want to see all the dressage
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:00:07 PM] <Evie> Cool!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:00:11 PM] <DesertRose> Oh awesome, KK.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:00:19 PM] <Annie> I am on my summer holidays now, so I don't need to get to bed :)
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:00:30 PM] <Evie> I'm about to have to leave; we have a houseguest, and dinner is done cooking
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:00:33 PM] <Alkari> "Honorary" little sister?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:01:07 PM] <DesertRose> How's it going, KK?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:01:09 PM] <Evie> but I'll try leaving the chat running so I can catch up later, if you're all still here
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:01:15 PM] <KK> Yep. She started out as a fan, many years ago, and the friendship grew. So now she is the little sister that my mother didn't know I had. :-)
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:01:33 PM] <Jerusha> Cool
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:01:34 PM] <Evie> awesome
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:01:39 PM] <the_Bee> :)
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:01:41 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:01:53 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12:)
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:01:57 PM] <Alkari> Great friendship, KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:03:18 PM] <KK> Yes, she comes most summers to spend a couple of weeks with us; also used to visit us in Ireland.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:03:39 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, cool.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:03:51 PM] <Alkari> Do you get over to Austria as well?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:03:55 PM] <KK> I gather that you guys were discussing the Olympics when I arrived.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:04:03 PM] <KK> I've been to Austria a couple of times.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:04:33 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, we were talking about the Olympics.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:05:07 PM] <KK> I like to watch the opening--and then the gymnastics and swimming, show jumping, dressage....
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:05:12 PM] <Evie> KK, are you and Scott going to D*Con as official author guests, or just unofficially for fun?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:05:20 PM] <KK> We're guests.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:05:41 PM] <the_Bee> Is Scott planing to write another book?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:05:58 PM] <Evie> OK. I didn't see you on the listing when I checked, which is why I ask, but I figure they probably only update once every so often
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:06:21 PM] <KK> He's busy producing TV just now.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:06:22 PM] <Annie> was chatting with a friend in Nevada tonight, KK, and she says to ask you if you will ever do another Adept book, as she is a big fan
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:06:53 PM] <KK> Debby and I have a prequel planned, and might do one more after the present 5.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:07:10 PM] <Evie> I'm hoping the DragonCon schedule will go up fairly soon, as DD and I need to coordinate our schedules with it.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:07:19 PM] <Jerusha> Is that the Murder by Gaslight you mentioned once before?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:07:24 PM] <Annie> yay! She'll be thrilled. I'm trying to talk her into reading the Deryni books too.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:07:31 PM] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:07:59 PM] <Alkari> But please finish Childe Morgan 3 first ... pretty please!! :)
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:08:13 PM] <cynicalmedic> I'm thrilled, too. I love the Adept books!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:08:20 PM] <the_Bee> me too
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:08:23 PM] <Evie> Yes. How are Brion and co this week?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:08:37 PM] <KK> Don't worry, I <have> to to that first, or my editor will never buy anything from me again!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:09:06 PM] <Annie> I have 4 Adept books - need to work out which one I'm missing
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:09:29 PM] <Jerusha> Are they available as eBooks?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:09:37 PM] <KK> Don't know.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:09:39 PM] <Alkari> LOL @ KK
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:09:49 PM] <Annie> they are hard to find over here though - I normally end up shipping in from the US
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:10:32 PM] <Alkari> where do we need to send the "Brion and Alaric rescue party" this week, KK?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:10:45 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12the adept; lodge of the lynx; the templar treasure; daggar magic; death of an adept
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:10:55 PM] <DesertRose> Apparently KK's books in general are hard to find outside the US and Canada.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:10:58 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12dagger
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:11:38 PM] <jemler> that's because all the american fans scarf them up!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:11:46 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:11:47 PM] <Evie> hang on, I'll check my Kindle to see if th Adept books are in the Kindle Store
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:11:56 PM] <Annie> OK, I am missing the 5th one
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:12:17 PM] <Evie> ((supper got delayed while we wait for DH to pick DD up from friend's house))
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:12:36 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12the houseguest who has yet to arrive
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:12:49 PM] <Annie> picking up DD while wearing a bliaut?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:13:00 PM] <Evie> no, he took that off some time back. :D
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:13:09 PM] <Evie> and the houseguest is already here
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:13:13 PM] <Jerusha> Hope DH doesn't have to stop on the way1
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:13:47 PM] <Evie> yes, the Adept books are in Kindle Store
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:14:10 PM] <Jerusha> Now all I need is a Kindle. :)
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:14:17 PM] <Evie> So are Two Crowns and St Patrick's Gargoyle
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:14:27 PM] <Annie> not in the UK they aren't
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:15:01 PM] <Evie> as far as I can tell, all of her books except for the Camber ones are on US Kindle now
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:15:13 PM] <cynicalmedic> I love mine, but there is still something about a real book.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:15:32 PM] <DesertRose> How are they available on US Kindle but not UK? That makes no sense.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:15:42 PM] <KK> None at all.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:15:43 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12who knows
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:15:43 PM] <Annie> I have 3 books on the go at once: a Kindle book, a "bath" book (paper) and a nonfiction book
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:15:50 PM] <Evie> Yes. Though when I go places, it's a lot easier to pack one Kindle than a suitcase of real books
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:16:08 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12and not as heavy
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:16:17 PM] <DesertRose> Truly.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:16:27 PM] Join Evie_ has joined this channel (~).
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:16:37 PM] <the_Bee> rehi Evie
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:16:40 PM] <cynicalmedic> I like the Kindle for my commute, and for reading in bed, especially after I almost brained myself with ASOIF
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:16:43 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Evie.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:16:51 PM] <KK> cynicalmedic, I dont recognize your handle. Care to introduce yourself?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:17:10 PM] <jemler> first time i've seen her too
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:17:22 PM] <Evie_> New people keep showing up, KK. It's your fault. ;-)
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:17:30 PM] <Annie> currently my Kindle book is Storm of Swords, my bath book Enigma is about the Enigma machine and Bletchley Park and my nonfiction book is about Victorian London
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:17:31 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, sorry, cynicalmedic is the newest boardie. :)
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:17:39 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12we're so much fun here
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:17:42 PM] <KK> I know--but what can ya do? ;-)
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:18:06 PM] <the_Bee> boardie?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:18:07 PM] <cynicalmedic> I am new, but not new to your books. Twenty four year EMS veteran, work for Johns Hopkins, and have a husband, three dogs, one cat, and a ferret.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:18:13 PM] <Jerusha> I'm reading Sister Frevesse
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:18:16 PM] <Evie_> Don't worry, cynicalmedic. KK doesn't bite, except perhaps on request.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:18:21 PM] <DesertRose> Newest person on the board.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:18:26 PM] <Evie_> I like Sister Frevisse
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:18:30 PM] <KK> Cool! I'm all for folk in the medical sciences.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:18:44 PM] <Jerusha> Player Joliffe is good, too
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:07 PM] <Alkari> You have a ferret?!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:09 PM] <Evie_> I have one Player Joliffe book but haven't started it yet
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:09 PM] <Jerusha> A cat and a Ferret, cynicalmedic?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:10 PM] <jemler> and the husband has TARANTULAS!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:17 PM] <Alkari> They are CRAZY animals!!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:22 PM] <Evie_> OK, DH and DD just showed up, so I'm off to supper
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:33 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12have a great supper
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:36 PM] <the_Bee> bye Evie
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:37 PM] <jemler> bon apetit
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:39 PM] <KK> Bye, Evie. We'll catch up next week.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:39 PM] <Alkari> Friends had one that they ended up renaming as "Xena, Warrior Fereret"
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:39 PM] <Jerusha> *shudders* at spiders
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:40 PM] <DesertRose> okay, enjoy supper, Evie.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:42 PM] <cynicalmedic> I have been an EMT for a long time, Your books helped a great many slow shifts go by, and helped erase some really awful things.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:46 PM] <Alkari> Bye Evie
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:19:51 PM] Quit Evie has left this server (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:20:01 PM] <KK> Honored to hear that, cynicalmedic.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:20:02 PM] <Jerusha> Enjoy, Evie!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:20:05 PM] <the_Bee> How do the cat and the ferret get along?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:20:17 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12probably very carefully
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:20:21 PM] <Alkari> lol
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:20:31 PM] <cynicalmedic> Carefully, the bee. They respect each other.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:21:18 PM] <Alkari> Ferrets are mad! Fudge aka Xena got into the dishwasher several times - not sure how many lives ferrets have ...
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:21:34 PM] <Alkari> Nearly got locked in the freezer ...
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:21:58 PM] <Jerusha> They are cute, though
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:22:03 PM] <cynicalmedic> Your books went to Oklahoma City with me in the back of a C 141, KK.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:22:04 PM] <the_Bee> Jessie had ferrets. It's been a long time since she's been here.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:22:05 PM] <DesertRose> Ferrets are hyper.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:22:25 PM] <KK> Wow, you were in the Oklahoma City aftermath?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:22:35 PM] <cynicalmedic> I was.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:22:43 PM] <Alkari> I was the only friend game to house-sit for these people - 2 dogs, 2 ferrets, assorted hamsters and 2 horses
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:22:53 PM] <Jerusha> The bombing or the tornado?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:22:57 PM] <KK> I'll bet there's a lot of <that> you'd as soon forget.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:22:58 PM] <jemler> Dennis Miller on 500 tv channels: 'Most people have the attention span of a ferret on a double expresso'
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:23:05 PM] <cynicalmedic> Bombing.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:23:10 PM] <Alkari> Yes, that would be awful.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:23:26 PM] <Alkari> And the poor people in Colorado this w/e
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:23:37 PM] <Jerusha> I lived in Oklahoma City at the timew
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:23:40 PM] <cynicalmedic> Yes, there is, but I will never forget how wonderful the people were.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:23:41 PM] <Jerusha> time
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:23:49 PM] <KK> Yeah, when even movie theatres are not safe....
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:23:54 PM] <the_Bee> Yes. What on earth was tht guy thinking??
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:24:13 PM] <KK> Fortunately, for the vast majority of people, you medical types are the Good Guys.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:24:27 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12some of the injured will probably die in the next few days
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:25:24 PM] <cynicalmedic> I can tell you that travelling with a bunch of very young US Marines is very interesting, especially if they haven;t eaten. They demolished my travel rations in two minutes flat!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:25:44 PM] <KK> Has the perp yet said why he did it? It was obviously planned over quite a period of time.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:25:52 PM] <the_Bee> CBS News did a good job of telling some of the victims' stories. One young man died on his birthday.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:26:38 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12don't know yet. and it was his first offence
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:26:44 PM] <KK> Yep, they all have stories to tell--or would, if they could.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:26:57 PM] <Jerusha> One was enough
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:27:00 PM] <Alkari> Yes, he was a perfectly normal honours student, until he dropped out recently
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:27:03 PM] <the_Bee> Youngest dead was 6.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:27:09 PM] <Alkari> So no hints about "why"he did it
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:27:32 PM] <Alkari> I couldn't get over the fact that people had young babies in arms at a midnight showing!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:27:53 PM] <Annie> saddest thing for me is that 3 of the men died shielding their girlfriends
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:28:02 PM] <Annie> seems chivalry isn't entirely dead :(
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:28:11 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12i'm sure we'll find out his motives in due time
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:28:34 PM] <KK> Well, a small child can sleep in its parent's arms just as well as home in bed, at that age. And the parents don't have hassle with a sitter.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:28:43 PM] <the_Bee> With all that planning, he'll have a hard time claiming insanity.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:28:53 PM] <Alkari> I know, but it was a very noisy environment
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:08 PM] <Annie> yes, I can understand the babies better than the 6 yo
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:22 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, a quieter movie, I could kind of see not bothering with a sitter for a young baby, but an action flick?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:26 PM] <cynicalmedic> There was nothing insane about it. It was done in cold, evil calculation.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:35 PM] <Annie> babies can sleep through most anythign
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:36 PM] <Alkari> Exactly, CM
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:38 PM] <Annie> anything
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:50 PM] <DesertRose> Depends on the baby.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:51 PM] <Alkari> Depends on the baby!!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:55 PM] <Alkari> jinx
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:59 PM] <KK> Well, it's summer vacation, and 6-year-olds like Batman.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:29:59 PM] <Jerusha> Not mine!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:30:22 PM] <Annie> in fact, my 14 yo could sleep through the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:30:30 PM] <cynicalmedic> My niece could sleep through the D-Day invasion when she was a baby.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:30:30 PM] <Alkari> Yes KK, but these Batman stories are not the old kids'stories - Nolan's movies are dark and violent
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:30:42 PM] <Annie> DD would sleep through anything once she was asleep
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:31:01 PM] <KK> Obviously deranged--put the insanity plea won't wash, in this instance, I don't think.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:31:27 PM] <KK> True, but it depends on the 6-year-old. Myself, I'd tend to think it was a bit young.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:31:32 PM] <Annie> LOL! Friend in Nevada says "Yay! Thanks!" re the Adept novels,
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:31:54 PM] <Alkari> Though parents tend to be more relaxed about horrible violence in movies than sex scenes!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:32:07 PM] <KK> Tell Nevada they're welcome.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:32:07 PM] <the_Bee> Comics are written more and for for adults, but some kids like the cartoons.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:32:18 PM] <Alkari> You can show a hundred people being brutally murdered and that's OK
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:33:08 PM] <KK> Which is probably what sets up some people to emulate what they've seen. I'd love to know what went wrong in the guy's graduate studies.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:33:31 PM] <Alkari> Me too - there have to have been some clues there somewhere
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:33:42 PM] <Alkari> A top student like that doesn't just drop out for no reason
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:33:45 PM] <KK> And I'd say that something snapped about 2 mo. ago.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:34:05 PM] <the_Bee> "quiet ..under the radar" are some terms used.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:34:10 PM] <Alkari> But the booby trapping of his apartment too ... that was just so calculated
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:34:50 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12the police are having a hard time there
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:34:58 PM] <Alkari> I bet.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:35:10 PM] <Alkari> And the poor people next door and in nearby buildings, all evacuated
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:35:15 PM] <the_Bee> A neighbor went to his apartment to complain about the noise; she almost opend the door.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:35:33 PM] <KK> I was watching a news conference lst night, and the police chief taking the interview nearly lost it several times.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:35:35 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12he was at the theater by then
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:35:50 PM] <the_Bee> and th door was booby-trapped.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:36:56 PM] <Annie> Have any of you read "The Jigsaw Man"?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:37:14 PM] <the_Bee> The police said it was intended to kill anyone who tried to get in.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:37:14 PM] <cynicalmedic> A friend of mine in QRT says it was hellish. I feel terrible for the officers and the rescue workers - it will haunt them for a long time.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:37:22 PM] <Alkari> Weird coincidence - when the news about Colorado came through, I was watching a documentary on the NOrwegian massacre
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:37:23 PM] <the_Bee> "Jigsaw Man"?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:37:27 PM] <Annie> it's by a top criminal profiler over here and it's fascinating reading, if very dark
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:37:36 PM] <Alkari> Sounds interesting
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:38:14 PM] <Annie> it has a lot of stuff about how/why people do these sort of things and why some start small and build up (flashers to rapists, say) and others dive right into the deep end
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:38:27 PM] <Annie> it's quite a chilling book, but fascinating
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:38:36 PM] <Alkari> I will look for it
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:39:05 PM] <Alkari> I enjoyed Stella Rimmington's spy books after her experience in MI6 etc
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:39:16 PM] <Annie> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jigsaw-Man-Paul-Britton/dp/0552144932/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343003768&sr=1-1
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:39:27 PM] <Annie> she was MI5, wasn't she?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:39:33 PM] <KK> Well, I've got to go visit with my houseguest. But wanted to check in with you guys, let you know I still love ya!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:39:44 PM] <jemler> Stella Rimmington or Remington Steele?
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:39:50 PM] <cynicalmedic> Thanks KK!

[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:40:05 PM] <KK> Stella Rimmington. I heard her lecture once, on the QE2.

[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:40:40 PM] <DesertRose> See you, KK!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:40:42 PM] <Alkari> Night KK and thanks for coming
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:40:46 PM] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:40:53 PM] <KK> Nighters!
[Sunday, July 22, 2012] [08:40:58 PM] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: ).
"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
