[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:13:01 PM Eastern Standard Time] Nick web0 is now known as KK.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:13:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> web0? That you, KK?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:13:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Is that KK or is she a bot as well? 😉
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:13:19 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:13:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> C'es moi, KK.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:13:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yay!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:13:30 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> KK, aka "Web-o"
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:14:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> How's things doing for you, Ms K?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:14:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:14:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> C'est moi. (Rented fingers.)
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:14:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I'm doing fine.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:15:05 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Any news this week?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:16:33 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Everyone's knees keeping on keeping on?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:17:29 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I'm assuming that no knee-news is good knee-news. 🙂
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:18:29 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Nothing of note. I got an Apple watch, that now teells me if I'm having a mometary episode of Afib. Doc's office says not to worry unless I get a prolonged bout of high heart rate, but I don't seem to have spikes that last longer than a few seconds. Fingers crossed until January 23 an dthe next ablation.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:18:57 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Hope all goes well.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:19:08 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> 🤞
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:19:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Knees aare doing fine. It's balance that's the current target for physio.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:19:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Daphne is sitting in front of my screen, so I can't always see typos.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:19:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> i hope it goes well
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:19:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> of course she is .... that's a good kitty
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:19:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Hi Daphne!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:20:06 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That's a cat's place, being between you and where you are trying to look
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:21:18 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> My cats like standing in front of my computer screen and lifting their tails in my face. I always have to sweep the tails back down. Except if I'm on a Zoom call, they like showing off their bum-holes to the people on the call.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:21:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Someone needs to admire them
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:21:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> cats think they have the best
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:22:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> My sister tells me she has a new cat, which I hope to meet at Christmas.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:23:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My son will be adding to his household menagerie in the next year. Besides the three cats and two dogs, they'll also be adding a daughter.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:23:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Cool!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:24:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> You also need a new cat, Bee. ;-)
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:24:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Wow! Great news, Evie!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:24:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> And hi, everyone!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:24:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:24:57 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> That's on my wish list, but not for this holiday. I still have more cleaning to do.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:25:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> A daughter? Wow! They haven't wasted any time, have they?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:25:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> When will the daughter arrive, Evie?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:25:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Evie, that's so great!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:25:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Not sure. I think sometime in May?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:26:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> May is a good month. DS1 was born then, and the world is still turning.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:26:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Jsha
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:26:41 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:26:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:26:44 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Can I buy a vowel?

[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:27:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Just completed that for the impending arrival
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:27:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Beautifull, Evie! You're so much faster that I am at that! 🙂
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:27:35 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> There's a thing for not having blankets/afghans for newborns. I'm not sure I go with that
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:27:47 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> That's lovely, evie. Did you make it?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:28:00 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Very pretty. I think you're looking forward to being a grandmother.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:28:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's more crib-sized than newborn size, but I figure it can go on a toddler bed when she's older
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:28:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Jerusha, would you like an "R" as well?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:28:14 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> It is lovely.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:28:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hmm, let me think on that, Nezz
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:29:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I have a new great-grand nephew. born in August.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:29:08 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My own grandmother made my DS a quilt before he was born, which I got as a shower gift even though she didn't live long enough to know about my pregnancy. My aunt had kept it to give to me when I had my firstborn.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:29:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> So I need to hunt through my boxes and find that to pass down also.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:30:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I have a lovely quilt my friend made for me for a daugher. After three sons, she have up and gave it to me anyway.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:31:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> gave up, that is
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:32:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> What I've read is not to make the baby blankets that have lacy holes big enough to get little fingers caught in, at least if it's for a very young baby. I suspect solid fabric blankets are safest for those.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:32:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Blanket/pouch sleepers seem to be the thing now
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:33:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> pouch sleeper? sounds intriguing. Do I need to look for a pattern?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:33:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My aunt started an afghan when her son was a newborn, but then got so busy she never got around to finishing it until he got married. By that time the original yarn wasn't even available anymore, so she had to settle for the closest color and weight matches she could find, so he ended up getting an afghan for his wedding with about a fourth of it not quite matching the rest of it. 😂
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:34:01 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> It's like a baby bag. Normal neck opening and arms, but the lower legs are in the "pouch"
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:34:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I think I've seen those. The swaddling type?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:34:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Yes, I think so.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:34:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I can imagine those would make a newborn feel more like they are still in utero, which would be comforting
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:34:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Not so good when they want to crawl, though
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:35:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Well, yeah, my son would have had his off in seconds. He was hyper from the get-go. 😄
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:37:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> A sleeper sounds as if it could also be a baby-carrier.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:37:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I'm probably better off sticking with baby blankets. You can give those to the kid pretty much any time, no matter how old the kid is. They make good lap blankets
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:38:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> An security blankets.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:38:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Given the "accepted" things you should do for babies now, it's amazing my babies survived.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:39:00 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Do you know if there are any documented cases of babies getting hurt by sticking their fingers through afghan holes?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:39:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:39:30 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Apparently if little fingers get twisted up in the yarn, it's a circulation hazard
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:39:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> The greatef fear is strangulation. Getting wrapped up in it somehow
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:40:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I don't object to the new, better knowledge, but I do wonder how we survived before
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:41:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Some of us didn't.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:41:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Yep, getting turned loose on our bikes, unsupervised, for hours at a time. Drinking out of hoses...
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:41:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> eating out of gardens too
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:41:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> drinking out of creeks
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:41:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> When I was born, the advice was to have babies sleep on their tummies. Then they decided that presented a suffocation risk. When my kids were babies, the advice was to have them sleep on their sides (since on their backs, they might choke if they spat up milk in the middle of the night), and we had wedge-shaped foam blocks to prevent them from rolling over. Now the advice is to p <clipped messag
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:41:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> ut them on their back to sleep. As much as DS used to spit up, I can't imagine how that would have worked for him before he learned how to roll over on his own.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:41:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> No helmets.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:42:05 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Lawn darts
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:42:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Chemistry sets
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:42:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> lawn darts .... i would pay for a good set
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:42:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Oh yeah!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:42:30 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> the real ones
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:42:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> No bicyle helmets.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:42:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> not those fake non pointy ones
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:42:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Do you have a target in mind, Bynw?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:43:01 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I had the original resin Clackers. The kind that got recalled because some kids ended up getting splinters of resin in their eyes when they shattered.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:43:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> just the lawn. i loved those as a kid
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:43:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> My parents still have a set of the super-huge resin Clackers
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:43:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Never heard of clackers
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:43:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> My DS still holds a grudge that I wouldn't buy him a real bow and arrows for his seventh birthday.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:44:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Metal slides in the playground in the South in August

[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:44:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Hi Revanne
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:44:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> and those third-degree burns on the backs of your thighs!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:44:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi Revanne!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:44:30 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hey Revanne!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:44:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> With concrete to fall on.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:45:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Jungle gyms
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:45:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I got my first pocket knife around that age. Somehow I managed not to cut my fingers off. But I made DS wait until he was older because I knew what mischief and mayhem that kid was capable of!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:45:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> And those spinning merry go rounds (or whatever they were called ) that spun you out into oblivion
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:45:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes! I loved those merry go rounds!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:45:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> me too!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:45:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> And teeter totters
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:46:00 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Don't they still have those?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:46:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> the merry-go-rounds were so great!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:46:08 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Swing sets that weren't properly anchored and were at risk of falling over if you swung too high
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:46:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Jumping off the swing.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:46:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> You knew you were good to go when you felt that "pumping" action
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:46:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If so, they're awfully hard to find now. Playgrounds have been made so safe, it's hard to find anything fun to play on anymore.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:47:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> DS was a pro at the monkey bars even at age 2.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:47:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I almost stangled myself on a clothes line jumping off of a swing
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:47:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> As far as I was, and am, concerned the Good Lord gave me big feet because He wanted them planted firmly on the ground.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:47:35 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> yeah all the fun stuff is wussyfied
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:47:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I remember he got blisters on his hands in daycare from crossing them so much, so he tried to wear mittens to school (in August) thinking that would help
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:48:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> If I ever have a house of my own, I want a swing hanging from the ceiling.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:48:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I still like swing chairs
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:48:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Tire swings
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:49:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We had a rope bridge at the corner of our neighborhood that some of the Boy Scouts who lived nearby built in a narrow copse of trees
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:50:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I can still remember being mocked by the other kids because I didn't learn to "pump" til I was at least 4.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:50:19 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We would pretend we were Robin Hood style outlaws living in the forest. Our "forest" was maybe six or eight feet deep and about ten or twelve feet wide, I think. 😄
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:51:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Looking back, I think it was just a bunch of evergreens of some sort that had been built as a hedge around the corner house on our block. But for us, it was a "forest," complete with a forest trail (a footpath through the trees) that had the rope bridge across it.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:51:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I used to lie on my stomach, twist the rope, and spin.

[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:52:41 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We also had a low hill that was fun to slide down on cardboard from boxes
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:53:06 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And a refrigerator box lasted us about three weeks as a fortress before it eventually wore out
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:53:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Oh, and when someone got new appliances! The huge boxes were limitless possibility!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:53:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> rolling down hills was fun until you realized how sick it made you feel afterwards
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:53:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> When my kids were little we lived opposite fields with ponds and trees. Only now am I hearing all the details of what they got up to.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:54:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I got stung once while rolling down a hill. My friend said it was a "bimblebug" that stung me. I am guessing she meant a bumblebee, but I'm still not sure what it was.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:54:14 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Maybe it's better not to know....
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:54:29 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> the fun of going down a hill on a sled that today no parent would let their kids do
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:54:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I think "not until the kids are grown do parents know what all nonsense they got up to" is a parental constant.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:54:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> there are things i did that my mother never knew about
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:54:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes, I'm still learning things my son got up to.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:55:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Mine know better than to tell DH. He might try it
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:55:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> As long as it wasn't a Stenrecht ( not sure of spelling).
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:55:21 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> He was usually very honest about telling me the second he figured the statute of limitations had worn off. 😄
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:55:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> My mom didn't know the whole story about the kid who thought I was bluffing when I told him if he hit me I'd hit him back until a few years ago.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:56:00 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> My DH would have been the same. The biggest kid of the lot.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:56:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> When we first moved to our new house, we set the boxes on the sidewalk as "toll booths" and popped up to demand tolls from
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:56:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Very enterprising Bee.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:56:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I recently heard something about my son and the neighbor boy turning a water gun into a flamethrower and nearly setting the neighbor's house on fire by accident.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:56:57 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> passers-by.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:57:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Oh my!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:57:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Yikes!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:57:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> my little sister did set the house on fire
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:58:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> A grown man once described how to turn fire-extinguisher into a flame-thrower.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:58:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> When my cousins would come to visit, we would all work together to write and illustrate a family "newspaper" and then sell copies of it for a dime apiece to any family members or friends who would buy one so we could get money for a candy shopping trip.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:58:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> A worthwhile goal, Evie
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:59:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> My big brother lit himself on fire when he was ten. Tried to hide it for a day or two before he finally confessed to my parents. He's still got the scars.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:59:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Now you'd need to sell them for a buck apiece to get the same buying power, I suspect.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:59:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Why?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [7:59:29 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> (re Nezz's brother)
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:00:33 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or how did he light himself on fire?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:00:47 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hopefully he didn't intend to light himself on fire.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:01:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Nope, he and his friend were just playing with fire.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:01:38 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I'm looking forward to the mischief my DS's sons get up to ( grandson the second is due in January) so I can get my revenge.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:01:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My daughter lost her purse in the woods behind our house when she was in middle school, then found it a few months later totally empty. Later she found out that it hadn't been empty when it was discovered by her brother and the neighbor boy shortly after she lost it, but they used her tampon stash as fire-starters to start a cook fire (this was when they were trying to learn how <clipped messag
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:02:01 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> to survive off the land), and then apparently panicked when they realized she might ask what happened to the contents of her purse if they returned it to her, so they just left it where they found it.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:02:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> How old is grandson the first?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:02:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Two in January.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:02:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> So both will have January birthdays
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:02:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My DS was a January baby as well
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:03:08 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Apparently one child with a birthday near Christmas is not enough
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:03:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Are the "terrible twos" a thing in England?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:03:41 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Oh yes...
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:03:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My DIL's birthday is Dec. 23 or 24
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:04:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Speaking of RIGHT before Christmas!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:04:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> One of my grand-nephew's birthday is January first. Too easy to miss after Christmas when you finally turn the calander over.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:04:28 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> English two-year-olds are just as terrible as American two-year-olds. 😄
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:04:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> ONe child in my family was born on Christmas Day.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:04:49 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Wherever there are toddlers, there are "terrible twos" and "terrible threes," I think. (With my kids, three was worse than two.)
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:05:06 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Then there are Canadian two-year-olds. Distantly related to hissing murder chickens
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:05:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Lol!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:05:40 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've just finished going back through my email archives and collecting funny stories about my children's infancy through teen years to put them together into a book to give them for Christmas.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:06:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Will they forgive you?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:06:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hopefully. Especially since I found a few family favorite stories that I thought I had lost forever, but they turned up in an old thumb drive.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:06:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I once wrote a fan-fic about a toddler who suddenly gained telekinetic powers as a two-year-old.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:06:57 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oy!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:06:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> That makes me feel very old. Email wasn't around until my kids' mid teens.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:07:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Now that is scary, Bee
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:07:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I was going to say, that's a real horror story!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:07:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> He threw his scrambled eggs in Mommy's face.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:07:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Why Deryni parents put training controls on their offspring.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:07:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It was just really taking off when mine were born. We got an internet connection at home just before I started my maternity leave with DS.

[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:08:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or Tieg Thuryn Blocking Evaine and Evaine not being sure if it had to be him to lift the block.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:08:50 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Levels of scary
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:08:50 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Charlie X... *shudders*
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:08:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Mom and toddler were X-Men characters.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:08:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> make mommy clear!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:09:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Okay, now make Mummy normal again.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:09:10 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I can't
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:09:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> i dont know how to unmake mommy clear
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:09:41 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Evaine, inside her mind: Oh, [expletive deleted], I sure hope Rhys can fix this because otherwise I'm up the creek!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:09:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That would be such a Toddler DS thing to do. 😄
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:09:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> that was a "fun" time for poor Evaine
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:10:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Seriously
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:10:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Wasn't Rhys dead by then?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:10:44 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> i think he was
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:10:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Iirc.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:10:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Nope, not yet
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:11:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> What? Rhys is dead? Outrage!!!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:11:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm in denial
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:11:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> but of course fortunately any blocker and can block or unblock
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:11:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Thanks, KK, for making me bawl my eyes out at crazy-o'clock in the morning reading that scene.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:11:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Sorry should have putva spoiler alert!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:12:06 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Once they learn how, sure!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:12:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> That was a death that was hard to take
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:12:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> Rhys was such a waistful death too
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:12:43 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> No pots and kettles here, then, Evie?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:12:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> But it was a catalyst that set off other events that likely would not have turned out the same way if he had still been around
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:12:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> like the murder of King Javan .... so horrible to read
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:12:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> KK, did you ever regret Rhys's demise?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:13:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> The kind of death that can happen in real life.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:13:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Rhys's I mean
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:14:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> It was Javan's death that really got to me.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:14:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes. Although at least the book title was a big hint.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:14:35 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> me too revanne
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:14:50 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> we knew on the timeline of kings it was short
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:14:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Whereas Rhys's death came out of nowhere
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:15:05 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Javan had the makings of a great king
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:15:05 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> both were tragic
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:15:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> he would have been an awesome king
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:15:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> BRB
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:15:38 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> it would have been Javan the Great
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:15:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I always think Kelson was the King Javan should have been
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:16:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I think Rhys Michael would have been his stauch supporter, in the end
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:16:40 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Rhys' death didn't come out of nowhere if you'd read the appendix isn HD. I spent the entire book just waiting for that to happen, because I knew it had to be soon.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:16:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I think what got to me was how nearly he made it
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:16:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Kelson is the king Javan would have been had he not been freaking cut down.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:17:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Rhys' death made me throw the book across the room for the only time in my life.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:17:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I still cry every time I read it.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:17:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Without fail.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:17:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I don't throw the book anymore, but always I need the tissues.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:18:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm fairly sure I introduced myself to KK the first time at a Dragoncon with some lovely greeting like "I still haven't forgiven you for killing Rhys." But she signed my copy of KKB despite that. 😂
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:19:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> And meanwhile, she's just sitting there at her computer, laughing at us... 😄
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:19:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Javan's death makes me cry too, and Rhys Michael's, because even though he was a dipstick who was thinking with the wrong head through most of *KJY*, he's come face to face with what his brother was trying to tell him and he tries so hard to leave his sons a better kingdom than he inherited.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:19:44 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Readers' tears are a key nutrient for writers. 😛
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:19:50 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Amen
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:20:12 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I know Rhys Michael was only young but I really struggle with what he did to his brother. I know he redeemed himself in "The Bastard Prince" but I spent half that book thinking " serves you right"
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:20:19 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We're tear and laugh vampires. 😉
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:20:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Yep
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:22:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> That's really the tragedy of all of Cinhil's sons; they were so young. Alroy's health was destroyed, Javan was freaking murdered because he was onto the Regents' schemes, and Rhys Michael played so far into said schemes there was no way out in life.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:23:20 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I much prefer Evie's Cinhil to the original.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:23:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Not to mention the first one who died at... what, one month?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:23:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> poisined by baptismal salt
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:24:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I feel sorrier for Original Cinhil, though, even though mine died far too young. At least he got to do what he really wanted in his life, as short as it was, unlike the original who got yeeted out of a genuine vocation because he was needed as King so that Gwynedd could yeet the Festils.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:24:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Original Cinhil was yote from his cloister.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:25:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Yes, he got the short scepter
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:25:23 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yote is past tense for yeet? Good to know. 😄
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:25:33 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> All that yeeting going on...
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:25:57 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yeet, yote, have yote, will yeet, will have yotten . . .
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:26:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOl!!!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:26:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> In my fantasy, Cinhil was a widower with a son, so he diudn't need to give up his priesthood.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:26:46 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Neither yeet nor yote being the King's English may I humbly request a translation?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:26:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL!!!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:27:05 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Basically, "to yeet" means "to throw with great force."
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:27:14 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> tossed out, yanked out, summarily displaced....
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:27:42 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> One of the more useful recent-ish slang words.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:27:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The Lord yeeteth, the Lord yoinketh away.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:28:01 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I feel we are missing out on a good word this side of the pond.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:28:04 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> 😄
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:28:35 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> (To yoink being roughly synonymous with "to snatch or take with some force.")
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:28:47 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> We've adopted a fair few Americanisms we could do without, this sounds a good'un
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:28:48 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oh, it's on that side also, I'm pretty sure, you just need to be Gen-Z or Gen Alpha to be familiar with it, I think. Or at least surrounded by such.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:28:50 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Revanne, it's still very new. Few people above the age of 30 know it
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:29:15 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Thar's me and my kids out!!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:29:32 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yeah, if your children had cousins or friends maybe ten years younger than themselves, you'd have heard it.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:29:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I sort of guessed the meaning from the context.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:29:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Or if you read comments on YouTube or on Reddit from people in that age bracket, you're likely to come across it
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:29:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I just have a lot of friends across the age spectrum and spend too much time online.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:30:05 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Same
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:30:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> On that note, I am going to toddle off. Have a good week, everyone!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:30:31 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> You work at a university, too,
@Evie.delacourt, so you hear the kids.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:30:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Goodnight, Jerusha!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:30:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> night Jerusha
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:30:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Good week to you, Jerusha
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:30:58 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I spend most of my online time in medieval Gwynedd
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:31:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Night Jerusha.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:31:21 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I'm kinda wondering if we lost kk a half hour ago...
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:31:22 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> If it's any consolation, I often cry while I'm writing scenes where a major/beloved character dies.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:31:26 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> jlol
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:31:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] * CambersGhost [discord] <jerusha2> steps onto her portal and gets yoinked away
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:31:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Excellent timing, KK 🙂
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:31:37 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Nope, she's still here.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:31:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> True, though honestly I'm more likely to acquire new slang online from reading comments on YouTube channels or Reddit subs where younger folk tend to hang out, like on Sims subreddits or Let's Play YT channels.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:31:47 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Nighters, Jerusha.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:32:16 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> KK, did you cry about Rhys?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:32:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I ought to head back to zzzzz land too it being Monday morning here
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:32:25 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> night Revanne
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:32:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Same. If it's not moving enough to make me cry or funny enough to make me laugh, I can't expect it to make readers cry or laugh either.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:32:39 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Tis indeed silly o'clock your time. Begone, Insomnimonster!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:32:51 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Night everyone, glad I woke up in time to chat.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:32:55 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Good night and good week, Revanne
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:32:59 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We're glad you made it, revanne
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:33:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Always happy to have you, Rev
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:33:34 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> G'night, Revanne!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:33:38 PM Eastern Standard Time] <bynw> night Revanne
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:34:13 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> The big question us, can I be bothered to get out of bed to refill my hot water bottles...
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:34:38 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Depends on whether or not the blankets are adequate?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:34:53 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Warm socks?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:35:56 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Hot water bottles!
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:36:36 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> When DS was a baby, we had a lovely hot water bottle that had a fleece cover that was decorated like a sheep. Though I never dared put it in the crib with him. I used it on myself on several occasions, though.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:37:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I was always worried that the stopper would leak boiling water, so I never used it for the babies, even though I'm pretty sure it was one we received as a gift when one of them was born.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:39:17 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> I wonder if anyone still uses warming pans.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:39:19 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> But that's what I think of every time revanne says she's off to bed with her hot water bottle. We named ours Poopsie. Poopsie the Party Sheep, named after an SCA joke prop in our kingdom that was the main object of desire and inter-baronial fighting for a few years in the '90s. We had a few "Sheep Wars" events as a result of the original Poopsie the Party Sheep.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:39:30 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> I have an electric foot warmer under the sheet at the foot of my bed. Use it just about every night, sometimes with socks as well.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:40:00 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Because SCAdians
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:40:03 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've seen decorative ones, but I wouldn't trust them, and you also need a working fireplace to use the original sort, I would think.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:40:52 PM Eastern Standard Time] * bynw goes AFK
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:41:02 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> On that note, I think I'll toddle off for a bite of food, and then to bed with my foot warmer--and snuggly cat.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:41:11 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> sounds comfy
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:41:21 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've seen decorative warming pans, but I wouldn't trust them, and you also need a working fireplace to use the original sort, I would think.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:41:21 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> hope you enjoy all that, and the entire next week, KK
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:41:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> Good kitty- snuggling, KK! Thanks for coming.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:42:07 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> See you all next week--and try not to exhaust yourselves with Christmas preparations.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:42:24 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> ta ta
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:42:27 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Currently the only thing I'm sleeping with, foot-wise, is compression socks and sometimes foot braces for the plantar fasciitis that won't go away. Though it does help a little bit to wear them.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:42:40 PM Eastern Standard Time] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of purple sparkles.
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:42:45 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Goodnight KK
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:42:54 PM Eastern Standard Time] <The_Bee> bye KK
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:43:06 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Evie, are they the braces that force your foot into an acute angle with your shin?
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:43:09 PM Eastern Standard Time] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I have a chapter to prep for posting tomorrow, though I think it's mostly ready
[Sunday, December 15, 2024] [8:43:18 PM Eastern Standard Time] <KK> Ta-ta, and nighters!
