[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:05:16 PM] <KK> Yes, sorry I didn't answer. I have to take that up with my agent.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:05:27 PM] <The_Bee> Holly McClure mentioned on facebook than she'd spent time with you.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:05:39 PM] <DesertRose> It's okay. I was just curious as to whether you had any direct control, or if it's up to the publishing house or what.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:05:40 PM] <KK> Yes, we had a delightful weekend.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:05:43 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Jemler and anyoneelse
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:06:06 PM] <Alkari> How are you feeling, kirienne?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:06:18 PM] <KK> Sometimes they need to be prodded.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:06:41 PM] <DesertRose> Also, there's a new Deryni-named child up on the website, although the spacing is hosed up and I can't remember how to fix it. I'll have to get bynw to go tinker with it or remind me how to fix it.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:06:59 PM] <The_Bee> Do you recall the name?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:07:02 PM] <KK> Ah, I got the message about that child, too.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:07:06 PM] <DesertRose> Cool.

[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:10:57 PM] <EvieOnPhone> I'll pronounce it the Spanish way if that's less intimidating to live up to. .;-)

[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:12:08 PM] <Jerusha> Although someone may already have asked, is your editor feeling better, KK?

[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:12:29 PM] <KK> I think so. Agent is in the process of checking on that.

[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:13:45 PM] <Alkari> LOL. Dish-washing?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:13:47 PM] <KK> At least that's what we get AAA service for.

[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:14:24 PM] <Alkari> Likewise out here with NRMA
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:14:25 PM] <Jerusha> Does AAA cover a pizza to go?

[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:17:48 PM] <kirienne> I hope a new tire isn't too, expensive. tires are expensive though.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:18:06 PM] <DesertRose> They can be, yes.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:18:14 PM] <The_Bee> If Evie's alione, I hope she doesn't try to text while driving.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:18:34 PM] <DF64> 12everything is expensive these days
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:18:34 PM] <Jerusha> Was she by herself?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:18:45 PM] <Laurna> Her DD was with her
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:18:49 PM] <kirienne> it sure is DF
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:19:02 PM] <The_Bee> Is DD old enough to drive?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:19:04 PM] <Jerusha> We need to send Duncan, then
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:19:05 PM] <Laurna> Coming home from the zoo with a friend they just droped off at her house
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:19:14 PM] <DesertRose> I'm not sure; she might have her permit.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:19:32 PM] <kirienne> I had to get some household cleaning items today, even though it was all on a nice sale, it was still sticker shock at the check out counter
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:19:56 PM] <Jerusha> Everything seems to be sticker shock these days
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:20:01 PM] <Laurna> SHe said sh was only 10 minutes from home but it will take 15 minutes or morechange the tire. I suspect
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:20:01 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, I went out a while ago for a little bit of produce and spent way more than I thought I had.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:20:16 PM] <Alkari> Yes. very easy to do, alas.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:20:24 PM] <kirienne> Groceries is definately sticker shock
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:20:29 PM] <DesertRose> Yup.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:20:37 PM] <Alkari> I need to go out later on for 'basics' and bet I will spend more than I want to
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:20:48 PM] <DesertRose> Probably. :(
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:20:56 PM] <Jerusha> Always
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:21:27 PM] <Alkari> I let fresh stuff run down because I have been out at the big Equitana event for two days, and then came home yesterday and just collapsed in a heap, and ate what was left, LOL
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:21:42 PM] <kirienne> I have a Sprout's market near me, I stopped this morning on the way home from church and got salad fixings for the week, I an glad they have great produce at reasonable prices, it was only $21
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:22:09 PM] <KK> I went to Costco a few days ago, intending to get only a few basic things; talk about sticker-shock!
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:22:10 PM] <Laurna> KK I have wanted to ask. When you ride into the gates of Rhemuth does it look like walking into Rome or walking into a more northern city?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:22:32 PM] <KK> More like a northern city.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:22:42 PM] <Laurna> Thank you
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:22:46 PM] <KK> Torenth would be ore like Rome.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:22:50 PM] <KK> more
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:22:56 PM] <Jerusha> I always find something I shouldn't buy at Costco, but I do anyway
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:22:57 PM] <Laurna> Oh thanks
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:23:03 PM] <jemler> fur capes instead of tagas? depressing.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:23:16 PM] <jemler> togas, sorry
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:23:28 PM] <KK> I had my DH with me, so we bought more than I would have done alone.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:23:29 PM] <DF64> 12bad spelling day
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:23:30 PM] <Jerusha> Rome, KK, or Byzantium?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:23:31 PM] <kirienne> I need to go to Costco next week, for meat and my Greek Yogurt and a couple other things, I love being able to stock up on meat there, but yes, big time sticker shock
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:23:35 PM] <Alkari> Fur cape might be a trifle warmer in winter!
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:23:53 PM] <KK> Byzantium, actually. But more open than a northern city.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:25:26 PM] <Jerusha> Would Arjenol be more like eastern Europe?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:25:29 PM] <Alkari> Watched a TV program last night on archeologists using computer imaging to rediscover the old Roman port of Portus, and its canals and facilities. Fascinating.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:26:09 PM] <kirienne> I bet that was fascinating
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:26:12 PM] <KK> Probably, Jerusha.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:27:08 PM] <Alkari> A couple of years ago I was looking at some really interesting trips to the crusader castles along the coasts of Syria, Turkey etc - but alas, not going anywhere near that area now :(
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:27:43 PM] <DesertRose> Um, no, not a good idea.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:27:43 PM] <Jerusha> No, not now, which is a shame
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:27:52 PM] <KK> That would have been a cool trip. I'm looking forward to Hungary in December.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:28:10 PM] <Jerusha> Before of after Christmas, KK?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:28:14 PM] <DesertRose> Why are you going to Hungary, KK?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:28:17 PM] <Laurna> Oh nice vacation
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:28:20 PM] <Alkari> The one that looked fascinating was led by someoe from the archeology Dept at Sydney Uni
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:28:23 PM] <DF64> 12my DD went to Turkey 9 years ago
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:29:04 PM] <KK> Part of a river cruise along the Danube. Starts in Budapest and ends in Germany.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:29:08 PM] <Alkari> Hungary - we end up in Budapest next year, and I am looking forward to that.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:29:18 PM] <kirienne> That sounds wonderful KK
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:29:22 PM] <Alkari> YAY - that is what we are doing KK - only from Amsterdam to Budapest.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:29:26 PM] <KK> Before Christmas, leaving the week after Darkover.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:29:29 PM] <The_Bee> I might like to take a river cruise some day.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:29:31 PM] <bynw> i've haven't been to Hungary myself but I know a few who have .. some really neat sites to see there
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:29:31 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, cool.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:30:02 PM] <Jerusha> I'm willing to carry your luggage, KK :D
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:30:09 PM] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:30:12 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:30:19 PM] <KK> We'r going with Viking (my mother and I), and they're supposed to be really good.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:30:29 PM] <DesertRose> Scott's not going along? :)
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:30:33 PM] <Jerusha> But I hope you pack light
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:30:56 PM] <KK> No Scott. This is a mother/daughter trip. He'll hold down the fort. It's only for 8 days.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:31:00 PM] <Jerusha> Viking is supposed to be good
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:31:01 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:31:16 PM] <Alkari> At least with winter, all you need is warm and waterproof outer layers, and light inside stuff.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:31:21 PM] <KK> Fortunately, for river cruising, you <can> pack light. No dressing for dinner.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:31:26 PM] <Jerusha> So where is he going on a father son trip?

[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:34:11 PM] <bynw> Shiral: what color?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:34:17 PM] <kirienne> and lots of pics from KK too
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:34:27 PM] <Shiral> I will actually be in Hawaii for Xmas
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:34:36 PM] <Jerusha> Wow, Shiral!
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:34:40 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, that'll be nice and warm. :)
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:34:52 PM] <Jerusha> Have a mai tai for me!
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:34:57 PM] <kirienne> lucky you, Shiral. My best girlfriend and her mother are in Hawaii right now for a mother/daughter trip.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:35:00 PM] <jemler> eating nene instead of turkey.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:35:06 PM] <The_Bee> Tourist or visiting friends?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:35:11 PM] <Shiral> My phone is blue. With a white case
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:35:42 PM] * bynw is looking to get an iphone when upgrade time comes after Feb 5c or 5s
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:35:50 PM] <KK> Wow, Shiral, I've never been away from home for Christmas. THough this one will be special, since Cameron and his girlfriend will be here.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:35:55 PM] <Alkari> Might see if I can pick up a new iPhone cheaply when we pass through Singapore
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:36:10 PM] <jemler> you mean what's left of singapore.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:36:15 PM] <Jerusha> That will be a nice holiday, KK
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:36:23 PM] <kirienne> That's wonderful KK
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:36:34 PM] <KK> Yep, I'm looking forward to it.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:36:44 PM] <Alkari> Sounds like a fun Christmas KK
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:36:53 PM] <KK> Yeah, they're getting walloped by that big storm, are;n't they?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:36:57 PM] <Alkari> And YOU don't have to cook! :)
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:37:13 PM] <Shiral> Going to switch to computer this is too tiny br
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:38:12 PM] <Alkari> Singapore not in typhoon main path, jemler - more Vietnam
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:38:34 PM] <Alkari> Philippines have been devastated
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:38:37 PM] <The_Bee> The Philippines got walloped
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:38:54 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, the Philippines are in rough shape.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:39:39 PM] Quit Shiral has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:39:41 PM] <KK> I guess my geography of that area is a little vague.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:39:42 PM] <Jerusha> Major destruction
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:39:52 PM] <Alkari> Strm weakening, but still bad - crossed into Vietnam and headed more north towards southern China now
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:40:11 PM] <DesertRose> Singapore is south and west of where the storm has been.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:40:33 PM] <kirienne> I heard there is high loss of life from the storm
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:40:36 PM] <Alkari> They are estimating 10,000 dead in the Philippines so far :(
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:40:49 PM] <kirienne> yikes, that's even higher than what I'd heard
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:40:50 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, and that's probably not all.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:41:01 PM] <DF64> 12which will go higher
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:41:01 PM] <The_Bee> Did Evie say anything about her relatives in the Philippines?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:41:03 PM] <DesertRose> Those photos; I'm amazed anybody survived, honestly.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:41:07 PM] <Jerusha> Some places are totally flattened
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:41:09 PM] <DesertRose> No, and I forgot to ask.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:41:15 PM] <kirienne> I'm sure it will go much hire :-(
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:41:20 PM] <kirienne> higher even
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:41:24 PM] <The_Bee> Hopefully she'll be back.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:42:04 PM] <DesertRose> That storm was huge; the only mercy is that it was moving fast so it didn't just sit there the way they will do sometimes.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:42:09 PM] <Alkari> The communications out of there are pretty bad
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:42:51 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people have lost power, phone, and internet services.

[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:09 PM] <kirienne> Wb, Evie
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:12 PM] <jemler> hi evie
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:13 PM] <Jerusha> Basic necessities will be the focus, now
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:17 PM] <KK> Well, that was quick.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:19 PM] <Alkari> She heard us talking about her.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:21 PM] <DesertRose> Do you still have family in the Philippines, Evie?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:26 PM] <Jerusha> WB, Evie
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:27 PM] <Evie> I tried to connect again once the roadside assistance guy left but I couldn't get my phone to reconnect
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:29 PM] <DF64> 12she's back
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:31 PM] <Evie> I do, DR
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:38 PM] <DesertRose> Have you heard from them?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:39 PM] <The_Bee> WB Evie! We were wondering if you'd heard anything from your relativesin the Philippines.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:43 PM] <Jerusha> Are they OK?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:46 PM] <kirienne> I pray they are safe Evie
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:43:49 PM] <Evie> I was literally one exit down from my home when I had the blowout
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:44:07 PM] <Evie> They are fine
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:44:09 PM] <DesertRose> Good.

[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:44:18 PM] <Laurna> Good to hear about your relitives

[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:44:25 PM] <Evie> they weren't wherever the storm made landfall
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:44:27 PM] <The_Bee> re-hi Shiral
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:44:32 PM] <Shiral> finally back
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:44:38 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, good. So nowhere near Tacloban?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:44:40 PM] <Jerusha> WB Shiral
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:44:54 PM] <Evie> as far as I know, they're not
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:44:55 PM] <DesertRose> Tacloban looks like it took a hell of a beating.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:45:03 PM] <Shiral> I don't know how Evie manages to chat on iphone!
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:45:18 PM] <Shiral> They're cute, but too tiny!
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:45:21 PM] <Evie> I don't know where Tacloban is, but all my relatives are either in Manila or Zamboanga now
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:45:32 PM] <DesertRose> I think it's north of Manila.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:45:44 PM] <Jerusha> Mini-Evie fingers, Shiral :)
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:45:45 PM] <Evie> It's a Samsung Galaxy, and I use the swype keyboard feature rather than trying to type on the screen
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:45:55 PM] <The_Bee> Is Mindanao in the Philippines, and is it a city or an island?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:46:01 PM] <Evie> and I have small hands too, so that helps
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:46:08 PM] <Shiral> I'm glad they weren't in the direct path of the storm, Evie
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:46:14 PM] <Shiral> That looked really scary
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:46:18 PM] <KK> She has the Littles take dictation and work the keys. :-)
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:46:19 PM] <DF64> 12glad they're ok
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:46:22 PM] <Evie> Mindanao is a region, Bee, but I think also the name of one of the larger islands in that region
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:46:30 PM] <Shiral> I thought as much! =o)
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:46:33 PM] <The_Bee> ok thanks
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:46:40 PM] <DesertRose> Oops, no, south and on another island entirely.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:46:51 PM] <Evie> And Zamboanga is in Mindanao, but that covers a wide area
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:47:01 PM] <Shiral> Anyhow, I have a new blue iPhone 5c and I love it for ALMOST everything
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:47:23 PM] <Alkari> They probably got the high winds though - that storm was massive.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:47:30 PM] <Evie> Jolo is where my mom is from, but that island has become an Abu Sayyaf stronghold now, so none of our family dares go there anymore
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:47:42 PM] <Evie> I'm sure they got a lot of wind and rain, yes
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:47:49 PM] <Evie> but not the worst of it
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:47:55 PM] <Shiral> I should think anyone living in that part of the world felt the effects of that storm to some degree
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:48:03 PM] <DesertRose> It's a huge storm.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:48:48 PM] <Evie> If they sheltered in the house where I suspect they would have stayed, they're fine. That thing's a fortress, practically.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:49:00 PM] <DesertRose> Cool.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:49:11 PM] <Jerusha> Good to hear, Evie
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:49:16 PM] <Shiral> Holding good thoughts for their safety, Evie
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:49:29 PM] <Jerusha> Have you ever visited there, Evie?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:49:35 PM] <Evie> I worry more for them dealing with rebels than weather, honestly
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:49:43 PM] <Evie> I haven't been back since I was 21
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:49:54 PM] <The_Bee> Who or what is Abu Sayyaf?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:50:04 PM] <Evie> They are the local offshoot of al Queda
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:50:11 PM] <kirienne> Yikes, Evie
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:50:16 PM] <Jerusha> Oh dear
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:50:16 PM] <The_Bee> :(
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:50:29 PM] <Shiral> Yikes, no wonder nobody wants to go there
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:50:40 PM] <Evie> which is one reason I wouldn't go back to my mom's home island. I don't want to be terrorist bait
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:50:53 PM] <Evie> Or as my dad puts it, "Some terrorist's retirement plan."
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:50:55 PM] <Jerusha> Definitely not!
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:50:58 PM] <Shiral> Very sensible of you
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:51:03 PM] <kirienne> No, no, no, you stay right here, safe :-D
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:51:12 PM] <Evie> I'd like to visit Manila again, though
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:51:44 PM] <Evie> And Zamboanga is normally fairly safe, despite being nearish to Jolo, but they've had some rebel activity there this year, so I wouldn't go until that's sorted
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:52:24 PM] <Jerusha> Wait until things are safe, Evie
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:52:39 PM] <Shiral> So did I miss any book news?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:53:02 PM] <DesertRose> No, we haven't discussed the book at all.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:53:03 PM] <Shiral> Definitely wait until things are safe(r)
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:53:07 PM] <Evie> It's the Philippines, Jerusha. It's never 100% safe. That's like saying "Don't go to NYC or Los Angeles until it's safe." But normally it's safe enough.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:53:12 PM] <KK> Nope. I'm waiting for feedback from my editor, but must be patient, as she's still recovering from her surgery.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:53:49 PM] <Shiral> Hope she'll be on the road to recovery soon
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:54:12 PM] <Jerusha> Yes, very soon
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:54:17 PM] <Alkari> Have you already been editing any further yourself, KK?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:54:19 PM] <Evie> I made mini-Evaine a new belt, and mini-Rhys has a new Healer's badge/cloak pin that I think will look better than the first attempt. It's thinner and also smaller around.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:54:30 PM] <Shiral> Any other news I've missed?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:54:39 PM] <Alkari> I always think of things I 'could' have done better once I have completed something!
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:54:40 PM] <KK> No. I'm hoping to start on the chapter headings this week.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:54:55 PM] <kirienne> :-D, KK
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:00 PM] <Alkari> And find all the Biblical quotes for them?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:03 PM] <KK> I saw Evaine's hair; nice.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:07 PM] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:11 PM] <Evie> thank you!
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:12 PM] <Jerusha> I am so looking forward to the book
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:18 PM] <Evie> I need to make her a wedding ring
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:19 PM] <Alkari> That is a fun task.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:23 PM] <Shiral> Have the doggies consumed any more small rodents?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:30 PM] <DF64> 12we all are
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:34 PM] <Evie> plain gold band, or would she have a stone of some sort in it?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:55:56 PM] <Jerusha> I'm assuming you aren
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:56:12 PM] <KK> Probably mostly plain, as her husband is not wealthy. Not poor, but not wealthy, either.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:56:18 PM] <Shiral> I'm finally having a chance to get artistic
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:56:19 PM] <Jerusha> are not consuming small rodents, DF64 :D
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:56:31 PM] <Evie> There's a cat in the neighborhood that seem bent on adopting us. It's been living in our yard.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:56:39 PM] <KK> No more rodental snacks, that we know of.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:56:46 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, what does the kitty look like, Evie?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:56:50 PM] <Evie> I might be able to do an ornamented gold band. Nothing too elaborate.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:56:56 PM] <Evie> White and gray kitteh
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:56:59 PM] <Shiral> Wouldn't a Healer make a pretty good living though due to rarity and their value?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:56:59 PM] <DesertRose> Aw.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:57:09 PM] <DF64> 12are looking forward to the book
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:57:13 PM] <KK> Aw/ What would Luke and his pal think of that?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:57:31 PM] <jemler> bad news
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:57:36 PM] <kirienne> Yay for Shiral getting a chance to get artistic again.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:57:48 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, would Luke and Gigi react okay to a new kitteh in the house?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:57:55 PM] <Evie> It's an outdoor kitty, since DH is adamant about not wanting to have more cats, but Luke likes to peek out the window warily at him/her
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:57:58 PM] <Jerusha> Writing or architecture, Shiral?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:07 PM] <DesertRose> Ah,gotcha.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:08 PM] <Shiral> Ways to make the newcomer's death look accidental?
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:14 PM] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:17 PM] <Shiral> Architectura
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:20 PM] <Evie> but DS has snuck a can or two of cat food outside for the trespasser
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:28 PM] <DesertRose> My parents have two neighborhood cats who come visit for a snack.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:32 PM] <Jerusha> Good for DS!
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:33 PM] <Shiral> sorry using moms tiny keyboard with rental fingers
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:43 PM] <DesertRose> In addition to the two house cats they have.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:51 PM] <Evie> I suspect it's a neighborhood cat who has been two-timing. It's too healthy looking to be a stray
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:58:55 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, I posted a new pic of Merlin on RC.com.
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:59:00 PM] <Evie> fat and glossy-coated
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:59:00 PM] <Shiral> I had a celebration dinner on Friday with my real estate team. Made them little houses
[Sunday, November 10, 2013] [07:59:02 PM] <Jerusha> Oops. Time for Once Upon a Time. Night everyone!
