[17:14] <Samuel> hello all
[17:14] <TheCatWhisperer> hi, sam
[17:14] <Shiral> Right now though... that doesn't sound so bad!
[17:14] <KK> Hey, Sam. How're you feeling today?
[17:14] <Wrengl> hi sam
[17:14] <the_Bee> hi sam
[17:14] <Martine> LOL We'd just about all trade you weather at the
moment, Katherine!
[17:14] * Bynw sets mode: +o Samuel
[17:14] <Samuel> Hello all. I'm doing good.
[17:14] <Wrengl> 50 would be nice
[17:14] <KK> Excellent!
[17:15] <the_Bee> I'll take 70
[17:15] <Shiral> Would there be any reason you were not feeling good,
Sam?
[17:15] <Wrengl> if only kim's cole would send us a nice cold front
[17:15] <Martine> It's been nice and sunny, so it's been killing me not
to go out and garden :-(
[17:15] <Wrengl> i bet
[17:15] <Shiral> I watered my potted plants this morning before they
all went bye-bye
[17:15] <Tika> his roommate threw a snowball at me online today,
Wrengl.... it melted in midair :)
[17:15] <KK> I did garden <last> weekend. This weekend we've been
wading in mud.
[17:15] <Wrengl> but too hot to even go out and water
[17:15] <Shiral> Poor things were looking very peaked
[17:15] <Bynw> his roommates tried to pelt Tika was a snowball earlier
today but it melted before it got half way here
[17:16] <Samuel> Shiral: last week I had a bit of chest pain at work.
After a bunch of ekg's, blood tests, a stress test, and an
echocardiogram the docs say nothings wrong.
[17:16] <Martine> I need to do some serious weeding, but it looks like
that's not happening for a good long time.
[17:16] * Wrengl passes out baskets of sweet one hundred tomatoes
[17:16] <kelric> rotfl
[17:16] <Wrengl> :( tika
[17:16] <Shiral> Sam, I'm glad to hear nothing's wrong with your only
heart!
[17:16] <Tika> he said he'd bring some snow to the wedding lol
[17:16] <Martine> lol Bynw
[17:16] <RainbowDragon> glad your ticker is okay, Sam
[17:16] <Wrengl> glad the tests were negative sam
[17:16] <Shiral> But scary stuff
[17:16] <Wrengl> all that house stress, i bet
[17:17] * the_Bee says good-health woodgies to all who want them
[17:17] <Wrengl> lol tia\ka
[17:17] <Samuel> house, work, life in general is very stressfull right
now.
[17:17] <Wrengl> that was tika
[17:17] <Shiral> Hope things let up soon then, Sam
[17:17] <KK> Are you trying to sell your house, Sam?
[17:17] <Wrengl> yeah
[17:17] <Wrengl> you need a break
[17:17] <TheCatWhisperer> Thanks, Bee! Preventative woodgies never
hurt :-)
[17:18] <Samuel> KK not yet. I'm closing (purchasing) on a house at
3pm (my time) tomorrow.
[17:18] <Shiral> Oh wow
[17:18] <Martine> congratulations, Sam!
[17:18] <KK> yahii!
[17:18] <KK> Yahoo, too.
[17:18] <Samuel> I'm going to take my sweet time, move slowly, then
sell this one.
[17:19] * Shiral sends congratulations and calm-thought woodgies to Sam
[17:19] <the_Bee> very good!
[17:19] <Shiral> I dunno, Yahii is also a very descriptive thought,
Katherine <G>
[17:19] <KK> We finished the paper in two rooms last week--the last of
the upstairs bedrooms!--and got flooring delivered for the dining room
and decking timber delivered also.
[17:19] <Wrengl> congratulations sam
[17:19] <Martine> Whoo hoo!
[17:19] <Shiral> Excellent
[17:19] <KK> We get plater cornicing installed in the dining room late
this week.
[17:19] <KK> plaster cornicing
[17:20] <Martine> So Holybrooke's really whipping into shape :-)
[17:20] <KK> Gus is helping me type.
[17:20] <Shiral> Things are marching right along at Holybrooke
[17:20] <KK> yes!
[17:20] <Martine> lol hi gus
[17:20] * Shiral scritches gus
[17:20] <Bynw> kitties are so helpful
[17:20] <Martine> I've just been on an office purge this weekend, since
I'm not supposed to be typing :-P
[17:20] <KK> And Sasha is in on the bed halping Scott read.
[17:20] <kelric> heh. we've been doing work on the house ourselves,
cleaning up stuff, boxing up stuff prepping for a move.
[17:20] <Wrengl> i bet he is a big help katherine
[17:20] <Bynw> they help you type, clean things, make the bed ....
[17:20] <Shiral> Which is quite a job as the Pygmy Lions say they want
FOOOD
[17:20] <Wrengl> how is the writing coming
[17:20] <Shiral> Is Sasha reading aloud to Scot? =o)
[17:21] <Wrengl> why aren't you supposed to type martine?
[17:21] <Martine> Shiral, don't you know when pygmy lions want food
you're supposed to feed them? :-P
[17:21] <Shiral> Tough luck for them =o)
[17:21] <KK> We're about up to Twelfth Night between Donal's death and
Brion's coronation, when Jamyl gets taken on as a royal squire and
Nigel becomes a page.
[17:21] <Martine> Mild carpal tunnel. I'm supposed to minimize
typing/writing at work and lay off entirely at home :-P
[17:21] <Martine> Couldn't miss Sunday chat, though :-)
[17:21] <Shiral> cool!
[17:21] <Wrengl> good katherine
[17:21] <KK> Sasha is purring and lolling.
[17:21] <Martine> yay! Deryni book progress!
[17:21] <Wrengl> :( martine
[17:21] <Shiral> Re the coronation, not the carpal tunnel <G>
[17:22] <Martine> lol shiral!
[17:22] <Shiral> I was wondering when Jamyl would show up...
[17:22] <Martine> And I was gonna stop sending you Rakovia stuff when I
can start writing it again <g>
[17:22] <KK> He gets insinuated into the royal court as a final year
squire after Donal dies. His uncle Seisyll arranges it.
[17:22] <Shiral> =o( Awww....
[17:22] <Bynw> nigel as a page instead of the one in charge of the
pages .... very different
[17:22] <Martine> yup!
[17:23] <Shiral> So Denis is still a little squirt at home?
[17:23] <KK> Yep. So is Alaric.
[17:23] <Shiral> An even littler squirt
[17:23] <the_Bee> Isn't Denis older than Nigel?
[17:23] <KK> Although Alaric gets to go to Twelfth Night and the
Coronation, since his father has to swear fealty on his behalf.
[17:24] <KK> No, Nigel is older.
[17:24] <Shiral> Squirmy four year old at a loooong church ceremony <G>
[17:24] <Shiral> Opportunity for misbehavior <G>
[17:24] <Martine> LOL! Like the new supreme court nominee's
four-year-old son at the press conference!
[17:24] <Martine> Did anyone else see that?
[17:24] <Bynw> lots of it too Shiral
[17:24] <KK> Twelfth Night court is secular, so less formal.
Coronation will be bigger, but he'll do ok.
[17:25] <Shiral> Just don't let him take the honey pot
[17:25] <Martine> lol
[17:25] <KK> Roberts sounds pretty impressive.
[17:25] <Tika> what'd he do Martine? I missed that
[17:26] <Martine> I was too busy watching his son steal the show when
Bush was speaking :-D
[17:26] <Martine> Oh, what any typical four-year-odl would do, Tika!
<laugh>
[17:26] <Martine> Roberts' wife had both of their children by the hand.
[17:26] <Martine> The little boy did NOT want to stand nicely by the
president's podium.
[17:26] <Martine> So he sat, then he crawled, then tried to take off
down a hall...
[17:26] <Wrengl> no martine
[17:26] <Tika> lol
[17:26] <Martine> talked a bit.... four-year-old stuff!
[17:27] <Martine> Mom had to eventually take him away.
[17:27] <KK> I'd heard about it, but wish I'd seen it. Would have been
good background.
[17:27] <Martine> I thought it was really cute. Don't know why the
thought to put a four-year-old in that situation, but it was adorable!
[17:27] <Shiral> So how does Brion feel about impending Kingship
[17:28] <the_Bee> IN Deryni Checkmate Nigel is 34 and Arilan is 38.
Are you changing that in the Director's Cut, Katherine?
[17:28] <KK> I think he's still a bit stunned, and is busy working out
the logistics of suddenly having to change plans because of the
Archbishop's sudden death.
[17:28] <Shiral> So he's starting right at the top
[17:28] <KK> The word overwhelmed comes to mind.
[17:29] <Shiral> I'll bet!
[17:29] <KK> no, bee.
[17:29] <Martine> You just lost a beloved parent AND are now expected
to rule a whole kingdom! What are you going to do next? <g>
[17:29] <Martine> Brion should go to Disneyworld.
[17:29] <Wrengl> lol
[17:30] <Martine> nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
[17:30] <Martine> Sorry. wasn't even Rowena <g>
[17:30] <Shiral> Ummm.. they have to build it first, Martine <G>
