[16:49] <kirienne> did you get the con crud too Martine? Shiral said she had it [16:49] <Martine> Not the flu, luckily. But the most evil, nasty cold I've ever had. [16:50] <RainbowDragon> How is your computer doing now, KK? Is it doing any better? [16:50] * Sedina reminds Martine to remember to be sending something her way as well [16:50] <Martine> one of those where you WANT the flu, because then at least you don't feel guilty for not "bucking it up, it's just a cold" <g> [16:50] <KK> So far--knock on wood--my flu shot is protecting me! [16:50] <Martine> LOL yeah, got the tape on my desk, Sedina! [16:50] * Shiral sends extra blocking power to KK's flu Shot [16:50] <Martine> Whoo hoo! Good news [16:50] * BevinKB backs off and let KK stink in her reality [16:50] <Shiral> Don't drink when you watch it, Sedina =o) [16:51] <kirienne> I got my Flu shot just before thanksgiving, so hopefully I will be spared the nasty flu too [16:51] <Sedina> Yes, so I've been warned [16:51] <Martine> Or at least erect your spillage/snortage wards [16:51] <Sedina> However, with you all, that was kind of a given [16:51] * Shiral winces, as her kitten climbs her, making full use of her claws [16:51] <KK> I'm still on the laptop. My computer guru has been down with the flu, and hadn't received our order as of Thursday. I'll check again tomorrow. [16:51] <RainbowDragon> ahh, okay [16:51] <Shiral> It's the curse of the computer Gods, obviously [16:51] <the_Bee> my puter seems to be suffering from selective amnesia [16:51] <Shiral> Time to burn incence before an altar built of old CPU's [16:52] * RainbowDragon has laptop envy for all those with laptop pc's [16:52] <Shiral> Tell me about it, RD [16:52] <Martine> We have a few boxes to donate to that altar in my basement [16:52] <KK> Yep. But I did get two chapters of the DC polish done today--the first real work I've done in weeks. [16:52] <Martine> Whoo hoo! [16:52] * Bynw is using an old 98 puter since his XP one has crashed :( [16:52] <Nerak> I have quite a few in my attic, but they still work, do they count? [16:52] <Shiral> At Darkover, I was the only person in the room NOT typing on a Laptop while Ann, Nancy and Martine were all clicking away [16:52] <kirienne> Huzzzzzaaaahhhh! for chapter polishing [16:52] <Martine> What? Bynw, how did you manage to crash an XP puter? [16:52] <Sedina> Yeah....they were chatting with me! :) [16:52] <Shiral> Excellent, on the writing, KK [16:52] <RainbowDragon> Great news, KK! [16:53] <KK> Sedina, how are you doing? [16:53] <Martine> Yeah, but Shiral, mine isn't really mine. It belongs to my company and has absolutely nothing fun on it! [16:53] <jp> What news on release date for DC and Childe Morgan? [16:53] <Shiral> I had to satisfy the urge by typing on the bedspread. It just WASN'T the same [16:53] <Martine> lmao!!! [16:53] <Dov> vivat kk! [16:53] <Martine> I let you borrow my laptop for a bit! [16:53] <Shiral> It looked pretty cool to ME, Martine! [16:53] <Sedina> KK - I'm doing all right, I guess. I call in tonight to find out if I can start the cell collection tomorrow [16:53] <Shiral> True, you did [16:53] <kirienne> lol shiral [16:53] <KK> DC will be first, next autumn; Childe after that. [16:53] <Shiral> And I borrowed Ann's to [16:53] <Shiral> too [16:53] <Dov> dc? [16:53] <Shiral> Deryni Checkmate [16:53] <Martine> Deryni Checkmate [16:54] <KK> We switched their order, because I'm so woefully behind. [16:54] <Dov> ok new edition [16:54] <Martine> Oh geez, Rowena's gotten her mane all matted again. Sigh. I swear, I'm gonna shave her. [16:54] <Shiral> Remodeling an old house can be VERY distracting for authors [16:54] <jp> I've seen your behind and it's far from woefull [16:54] <Ghostgames> Huh, I wonder how Nancy's doing? Since the rest of us have been coughing and hacking and blowing our noses for 2 weeks... [16:54] <Nerak> New House? [16:54] <Martine> Nancy's been ill, too [16:54] <Shiral> Con Crud really hit us hard [16:55] <KK> Yes, Shiral, but we got a new bedroom corridor floor last week--and the outside windows are very nearly done. [16:55] <Nerak> Last time I heard from you, you'd just found the door to the furnace [16:55] <Shiral> Not that the results aren't nice, of course, KK =o) [16:55] <KK> That goes waaaaay back, Nerak. We don't even have that furnace anymore. :-) [16:55] <jm> Well just thought I was going to have a quiet evening for a change. Got to run. In case I don't make it next week hope you all have a good holliday season. [16:55] <Martine> ooooo! new floor! [16:55] * jm Quit [16:55] <Shiral> But it's hard to keep BOTH projects on track at once [16:55] <Nerak> And the cold spot near the Christmas Tree [16:55] <Martine> bye jm! [16:55] <Martine> Missed him [16:55] <kirienne> see ya jm [16:56] <KK> Nancy shipped off her CPUs yesterday, and the movers come tomorrow, I believe--and they go Tuesday? [16:56] <kirienne> we all missed him, he's too quick [16:56] <Sedina> yup, they fly out on Tuesday [16:56] <Martine> Yup, Tuesday. [16:56] <Shiral> That's what I heard, but Nancy's been all but invisible [16:56] <jp> JM short for just missed [16:56] <Martine> lol [16:56] <Shiral> They're right on Schedule [16:56] <Shiral> For the move, anyway [16:56] <KK> She <had> to be invisible right now; computers are gone, except maybe for her laptop. [16:57] <Shiral> That makes it a wee bit hard to chat, yes =o) [16:57] <Martine> She must have her laptop, because she's logged into Messenger. She's not paying attention, but she's logged in :-) [16:57] <kirienne> I've forgotten, where is Nancy moving to? [16:57] <KK> la [16:57] <Shiral> The bedspread just doesn't work, electronically [16:57] <RainbowDragon> To anyone interested, the Zipper Sisters have a new column on the site now. I need to check for other updates too. [16:57] <Sedina> Whoo hoo.....I get to start my stem cell collection tomorrow! [16:57] <Shiral> Hooray, Sedina! [16:57] <Martine> Wireless connection down on the bedspread? [16:57] <Dov> yay sedina! [16:57] <kirienne> Yippppieeeee, Sedina. I pray it will all go well [16:57] <KK> Yahoo! Go, stem cells! [16:57] <Debbie-VB> I'm glad to hear it Kim [16:57] * Martine ducks from pun punishers [16:57] <Shiral> it's very wireless, martine <g> [16:58] <Martine> Woo hoo! Congrats, Sedina! [16:58] <the_Bee> I bet you'll be glad to get it done, sedina [16:58] <Shiral> And very unresponsive [16:58] <Sedina> Now here's to hoping that it doesn't take too many days to collect all the cells that they need [16:58] <kirienne> lol [16:58] <Nerak> My electric blanket isn't wireless.... [16:58] <Martine> Monitor doesn't work. [16:58] <the_Bee> Pat, how are yu doing? [16:58] <KK> Shiral, how is pegleg Pan? [16:58] <Shiral> Good thing too, or the cats would be using my bedtop computer all the time [16:58] <Ghostgames> May your blood be filled with stem cells. :-) [16:58] <Shiral> He's getting around pretty well on his leg now. [16:58] <Shiral> And his appetite is better [16:58] <Martine> pad pad pad thump pad pad pad thump <g> [16:58] <kirienne> wha thappened to Pan? [16:58] <Shiral> But he can't quite make it up on the bed without help, although he can manage the couch [16:58] <the_Bee> what happened to Pan? [16:58] <Sedina> When I'm home, I have a wireless blanket....my cat Sadie. And if I'm really lucky, I get Myah in bed with me too [16:59] <Shiral> Pan and I had an unfortunate collision in the kitchen [16:59] <Nerak> Had a kitten like that, used his splint to beat the heck out of his littermates [16:59] <Martine> lol [16:59] <Sedina> lol [16:59] <Ghostgames> I'm still looking for homes for the 2 kittens we found in the garage... Thanksgiving got in the way, nobody wanted to take on a new kitten in such a busy season. [16:59] <Dov> :( pan [16:59] <Shiral> I stepped backward at just the wrong moment, not realizing he was behind me. As a result, he's in a cast until mid-January [16:59] <Shiral> But it's a very festive, Haldane scarlet bandage this week in honor of the season [17:00] <Bynw> i've got 1 already Ghostgames, and he's a handfull [17:00] <jp> Yowl [17:00] <Shiral> He looks like a Haldane kitty! [17:00] <Nerak> SH*T happens, no fault charged to your karma [17:00] <Debbie-VB> can i assume that pan is not really talking to you right now? [17:00] <KK> Poor Black ande Grey, Ann. You may have to keep them. ;-) [17:00] <kirienne> poor Pan, I bet you have been spoiling him rotten though since then [17:00] <Shiral> Well, he's forgiven me, Debbie [17:00] <Shiral> After all, it was an accident, and nobody else feeds him [17:00] <Shiral> And yes, he's spoiled rotten, now [17:00] <Ghostgames> I haven't broken this to Paul yet, but I really want to keep the black kitten. She's turning into quite the dainty little lady, all black with silver frosting on her chest, belly, and legs. [17:01] <Martine> I think the feeding part has more to do with it than the accident part! <g> [17:01] <BevinKB> lol [17:01] <Martine> Awwww, how cute! [17:01] <Martine> And the little gray one is just the cutest little cat I've ever seen. [17:01] <Bynw> sounds very cute Ann [17:01] <KK> Go, Black Kitten! Keep making those kitten eyes at her! [17:01] <Debbie-VB> Ann, she sounds like a lovely kitty [17:01] <Shiral> Oh dear, Ann... I think you may have just acquired two more cats <G> [17:01] <Shiral> amen! [17:01] <BevinKB> lol, go puss in boots! [17:01] <KK> Yep. [17:01] <kirienne> Ann, that kittie sounds really cute, hope you get to keep her [17:01] <Ghostgames> That'll make the household even between boys and girls (me, Brandy the dog, Dana the cat, Unnamed Black Kitten versus Paul, Nico the dog, Fox the cat, and Shadow the five-bricks-in-a-cat-suit). [17:01] <RainbowDragon> Bynw, how is your kitten doing? [17:01] <Shiral> But the Black kitten does sound lovely [17:02] <Nerak> I knew our most recent kitten would work in when it walked under the Dalmation [17:02] <Martine> rotfl, ann. shadow's not quite that big! [17:02] <Nerak> To see what the dog was eating [17:02] <Shiral> Just FOUR bricks, maybe [17:02] <BevinKB> speaking of cats, my family most recent addition is our Aragorn [17:02] <Bynw> d20 game system writeup on cats and their powers: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fools/20030401c [17:02] <Ghostgames> He is now... He's been sneaking into the kitten room and eating their leftovers. [17:02] <Debbie-VB> ???five bricks in a cat suit???? [17:02] <kirienne> lol [17:02] <Martine> lol! poor kittens! [17:02] <Shiral> Cesca is also rather round [17:02] <KK> big cat. [17:02] <Bynw> RD, he's a terrorist and likes to attack everything and has gotten REALLY BIG [17:02] <Shiral> As she finishes Pan's meals after he's had enough [17:02] <Ghostgames> Katherine remarked that Shadow was 4 bricks in a cat suit when she was visiting in September. :-) [17:02] <RainbowDragon> heh heh heh [17:03] <BevinKB> when Nerak meant, Dalmatian, she meant Dal/Blue Heeler monster beside a brave kitten [17:03] <Shiral> Neko The Terror Kitten [17:03] <Shiral> Nina is still busily decorating with toilet Paper [17:03] <KK> We have one of those, too. His name is Nicholas, and he's red. [17:03] <Nerak> Ah, the red terror [17:03] <Martine> Arwen and Rowena are making progress. There have been brief moments of polite ignorance, and once or twice even friendly nose sniffing! [17:03] <Shiral> nicholas is a lovely cat [17:03] <Shiral> =o) [17:03] <kirienne> maybe Nina wants her own show on the decorating channel [17:03] <Ghostgames> I'm hoping to find a home with children for the grey kitten, so he'll likely end up named Mittens (double paws), Socks, or Boots (white markings). [17:03] <Shiral> Very sweet, and sociable [17:03] * jp built like a brick cathouse [17:04] <Martine> Of course, I'm holding Rowena FIRMLY for the nose sniffing, or Arwen wouldn't dare get close. [17:04] <BevinKB> or a Tux cat: Erik de Phantom ^_^

[17:16] <Shiral> It just may come with the Three Kings [17:16] <Martine> Peppermint mocha and egg nog are the two best December beverages. Period <g> [17:16] * Mistyck just got back from the store...sorry [17:17] <BevinKB> so does butter [17:17] <BevinKB> Butter is a beverage [17:17] <KK> Hi, Mistyck.

I'll still with the peppermint hot chocolate [17:18] <Shiral> Seizing, too [17:18] * BevinKB Quit (User has been mind-ripped ) [17:18] <KK> My problem tomight, in addition to the rented fingers, is the 7/8 size keyboard on this laptop.

[17:19] <kirienne> Sedina, I don't like eggnog either [17:19] <Shiral> So far, I've managed to avoid buying any eggnog [17:19] <the_Bee> Peer has a grudge against that family! [17:19] <Shiral> Will not guarantee that will continue to be the case [17:19] * Bynw will just continue to drink Pepsi year round [17:19] <Sedina> You can't do that this year, Martine, you've sent me all your old jeans and pants [17:19] <Martine> You may just have never tasted good egg nog. There's a LOT of really BAD store-bought egg nog floating around. [17:19] * kirienne throws a dagger at peer [17:19] * Blade has left #Deryni_Destinations [17:19] <Mistyck> Bee, last night I played one of my songs in front of 50 people! [17:19] <KK> I do't much care for store-bought eggnog; home-made is best! [17:19] <Shiral> So KK.... What IS a hot posset? I've been meaning to ask [17:19] * BevinKB has joined #Deryni_Destinations [17:19] <DeryniBot> BevinKB has taken the Oaths and has become a member of the Knights Templars [17:19] <Mistyck> wb [17:19] <Martine> LOL Sedina, that's true! And soon I won't have old sweaters, either. [17:20] <BevinKB> I knew the chat hasn't progressed!

In general, it's hot, usually has egg, milk, maybe some whisky, some sugar--stuff like that. [17:21] * Nerak has joined #Deryni_Destinations [17:21] <DeryniBot> Welcome Nerak to #Deryni_Destinations - The virtual home of Katherine Kurtz [17:21] <Shiral> mmmmm!! no wonder everyone seems to like them in the books [17:21] <Nerak> Daughter resurrected my connection [17:21] <Shiral> hot eggnog!

[17:21] <Shiral> wb, nerak [17:21] <Martine> I'll take some posset! [17:21] <Nerak> * BevinKB left out rolling her eyes... [17:21] <KK> Daughters can be very useful; also nieces, of which I have a super one. [17:21] <Shiral> Buds may be a West Coast thing [17:21] <jp> Eggnog, a very American thing, What are the basics of eggnoginess [17:22] <Shiral> I think they're based in SF [17:22] <BevinKB> lol [17:22] <Shiral> The marriage of Egg and NOg [17:22] <jp> ! [17:22] <Nerak> I thought egg-nog was pre-colonial [17:22] <Mistyck> wb Nerak and Bevin [17:22] <Shiral> I think it is [17:22] <BevinKB> thankies [17:22] <KK> Egg, milk, sugar, booze.

In general, it's hot, usually has egg, milk, maybe some whisky, some sugar--stuff like that. [17:23] <Shiral> *** Nerak has joined #Deryni_Destinations [17:23] * Bynw hears Tika coming home from the candle shop [17:23] <BevinKB> I was reading Macbeth in school [17:23] <Dov> yes, egg milk sugar and liquor (brandy or whisky) [17:23] <Shiral> In essence, hot eggnog [17:23] <Debbie-VB> don't you mean "that Scottish play"? [17:24] <jp> It must have rebelled like the colonies [17:24] <BevinKB> only actors are not allowed to directly say macbeth [17:24] <BevinKB> I'm not in any play at this time, so it's safe to say [17:24] <KK> Yes, it's considered bad luck, like throwing a hat onto a bed. [17:24] <BevinKB> mwahaha [17:24] <BevinKB> by the prick of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes! [17:24] <Mistyck> ahh...I never knew that...Learnt something new today :) [17:24] <Shiral> Oy, they only NOW tell me it's bad luck to throw hats on beds??? [17:24] <Nerak> Hats on the bed I don't mind, it's the helms that bother me [17:24] <RainbowDragon> wouldn't the alcohol curdle the milk? [17:25] <BevinKB> lol [17:25] <Mistyck> lol Nerak! [17:25] <Martine> lol nerak [17:25] <the_Bee> not if you drink it before it curdles [17:25] <kirienne> lol nerak [17:25] <Sedina> If tossing a hat onto the bed is bad luck, I'm really in trouble since I'm forever doing that now that I wear hats all the time [17:25] <Nerak> And spurs IN bed [17:25] <Martine> Helms tend to clatter when you roll over in your sleep. [17:25] <KK> Oh, no, just gives it a nice flavour. Amaretto would also be nice, I suspect. [17:25] <jp> gotta go [17:25] <Debbie-VB> No RD, there are several mistures of alcohol in milk [17:25] <Shiral> yeah, the blankets keep snagging on the horns!

He's not a Viking [17:26] <Shiral> Of course, it does matter when you add the alcohol [17:26] <BevinKB> lol [17:26] <Shiral> Oops sorry [17:26] <BevinKB> s'ok [17:26] <Shiral> But helms do have some sharp, rough edges [17:26] <Nerak> And chainmail NEVER warms up properly [17:26] <Shiral> I'll take your word for that [17:27] <Martine> Chain mail also gets really lumpy., [17:27] <Shiral> Not recommended for night time wear, no [17:27] <Debbie-VB> even chain-mail bikinis? [17:27] <kirienne> and rusts when it rains [17:27] <Nerak> Leaves interesting bruises [17:27] <BevinKB> ew! heck no!

Are you home now? [17:27] <Shiral> Well, if Araxie ever WORE a chain mail bikini, I expect it would wake Kelson up considerably [17:28] <Martine> The very thought of a mail bikini makes me cringe in pain.

[17:28] <Shiral> Ouch [17:28] <Shiral> And heavy [17:28] <TerryOBrien> IT really depends on how fine the chain is. [17:28] <BevinKB> like a layer of rabbit fur then the chainmail [17:28] <Shiral> ANd these days, you wouldn't want to wear it for travel [17:29] * Tika has joined #Deryni_Destinations [17:29] <DeryniBot> Tika has taken the Oaths and has become a member of the Knights Templars [17:29] <Nerak> Travel OK, just not on an airplane [17:29] * Tika waves hello [17:29] <Shiral> Hi Tika =o) [17:29] <Martine> LOL no, you'd be likely to set off the entire airport alarm system with mail.
