[16:46] <KK> OK. Didn't know there was yet another one. :-)
[16:46] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, Katherine!
[16:46] <BevinKB> you knew that, like 18 years ago
[16:46] <KK> AH, you <are> the Bevin I was thinking of! Welcome!
[16:47] <Nerak> Yep, it's the little one, she's 18 now
[16:47] <KK> Helolo, Nerak!
[16:47] <KK> Nah, can't be 18!
[16:47] <BevinKB> yes I am 18
[16:47] <Nerak> Hello my lovely, I was hoping Sir Starhelm could get on
[16:47] <Shiral> She must be glad to see you, since you got an 'Helolo"
[16:47] <KK> wow!
[16:47] <BevinKB> lol
[16:48] <BevinKB> at 6 months I was almost mistaken as the newborn
Princess of the West
[16:48] <Nerak> Goes to Pennsic every year, terror of Horde hill
[16:48] * BevinKB pinky to mouth
[16:48] <BevinKB> mwahaha!
[16:48] <KK> Hello Martine and Shiral and Sedina and--and--
[16:48] * BevinKB is the Leader of the Iron Butterfly Guild
[16:48] <Martine> lol hi katherine!
[16:49] * jp methinks someone's been to evil doctor school
[16:49] <Martine> I should have your bookends and FileMaker cd off to
you this week, now that I can haul my butt out of bed :-D
[16:49] * BevinKB floats around happily
[16:49] <KK> Martine, has the evil flu had you down?
[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 ^_^

[17:04] -PsionicBlast- Katherine Kurtz, NYT best selling author of the
Deryni Series, Templar Series and co-author of the Adept series is in
her weekly chat #Deryni_Destinations

[17:04] <KK> There's hope, Martine.
[17:04] <Martine> There is. By the time both are too old to bother
chasing/running, they might actually get along <g>
[17:04] * Turbo has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:04] <DeryniBot> Turbo has taken the Oaths and has become a member
of the Knights Templars
[17:05] <BevinKB> hiya, Turbo

[17:05] <the_Bee> hi turbo
[17:05] <Turbo> O.o wha? What oath?
[17:05] <Shiral> Pan was very grumpy around the girls when he got back
from the Vet visit on Friday Morning
[17:05] <RainbowDragon> Hi, the_Bee
[17:05] <Shiral> Then he stomped off to hide in the closet for a few
hours
[17:05] <BevinKB> lol, it's just a random greeting
[17:05] <BevinKB> I came in following a Lher Cat
[17:05] <RainbowDragon> 20 chatters! Woo hoo!
[17:05] <Dov> welcome turbo (reference to Temple and the Stone or
Templar Treasure)
[17:05] <Shiral> We're hot, today
[17:05] <BevinKB> full chat! full house!
[17:06] <Nerak> At Ansteprra Argent this year, I ran into a gentleman
in a Michaeline tabbard!
[17:06] <Turbo> I came, cause the blast told me to -_-
[17:06] <KK> We've had even more in the past. This could get really
intersting.
[17:06] <RainbowDragon> heh heh heh
[17:06] * Turbo can't go against the blast
[17:06] <Dov> neat nerak!
[17:06] <Bynw> i think our channel record is like 30 something
[17:06] <BevinKB> cool
[17:06] <Debbie-VB> sorry I've not been saying much, just got off the
phone with one of my brothers
[17:06] <jp> More chatters, more chatters
[17:07] <kirienne> it's ok Debbie, we all understand
[17:07] <RainbowDragon> 31 users on 1/12/03
[17:07] <Sedina> no need to apologize, Debbie
[17:07] <Nerak> When I asked about the tabbard he said "Nerak, you made
it!"
[17:07] <BevinKB> lol
[17:07] <Shiral> All we need in here now is Santa
[17:07] <KK> How had he gotten it?
[17:07] <BevinKB> that's because you wore the knit dress you made YEARS
ago!
[17:08] <Martine> ooo! yes! santa!
[17:08] <Nerak> He was one of the ones you authorized for Aggie Con
[17:08] <KK> ah.
[17:08] <jp> what is Santa's nick?
[17:08] <RainbowDragon> Yes, how did he get or make the tabard?
[17:08] <Martine> And Rudolph, so all of those with con crud can
compare with him for brightest nose! <g>
[17:08] * BevinKB falls down laughting
[17:08] <Shiral> There was was a dyslexic Satan worshipper who sold
his soul to Santa
[17:08] <kirienne> lol
[17:08] <Nerak> I made tabbards for six knights to escort KK at a con.
[17:08] <Shiral> Now he makes great toys in the frozen north
[17:08] <Martine> lol shiral!
[17:09] <Dov> oh btw nerak thank you for loaning your old Warthaven
comics to the library. I got such a kick out of seeing them all
[17:09] <BevinKB> Child: Mommy? Is Saint Nickolas, Santa Claus's
alternate persona?
[17:09] <Martine> Not quite what the guy was expecting, huh?
[17:09] <Shiral> Well... no
[17:09] <Martine> Wanted a desert vacation, and got an igloo instead.
[17:09] <Shiral> it's so gosh darn wholesome, too
[17:09] <BevinKB> old, old Warthaven quip
[17:09] <Martine> NO demons with pitchforks.
[17:10] <the_Bee> Warthaven?
[17:10] <Shiral> But a lot of little people in green with pointy ears
[17:10] <Dov> SCA comic strip
[17:10] <Martine> No boiling oil or bubbling tar. What sort of place is
this?
[17:10] <BevinKB> I was in one of Lrd. William Blackfox's comics, also
my brother
[17:10] <jp> In the paper today, forensics people have done a facial
reconstruction of Saint Nickolas
[17:10] <Dov> ooh great honor
[17:10] <Shiral> He has low elf-esteem
[17:10] <BevinKB> artoris emerius: born in the sca!!
[17:10] <KK> We saw that! Handsome gentleman, eh?
[17:10] <Martine> Which paper is it? I haven't seen that.
[17:10] <jp> I thought so
[17:10] <Nerak> Anyone got the URL for Santa
[17:11] <BevinKB> try a Google on it
[17:11] <Debbie-VB> I wonder if that will get over to this side of the
pond
[17:11] <jp> The Sunday Times
[17:11] <Shiral> Never seen it
[17:11] <KK> The Sunday TImes, ofr London--but I expect that the Sunday
magazines are a chain.
[17:11] <Nerak> Oh, the Times, that explains everything
[17:11] <Debbie-VB> I don't know what santa's URL is, but his
snail-mail postalcode is H0H 0H0
[17:12] <BevinKB> lol
[17:12] <Nerak> KK - I lost touch with you when our house burned, still

[17:12] <the_Bee> lol
[17:12] <RainbowDragon> lol, Debbie
[17:12] <KK> That looks about right, for over here or up there.
[17:12] <Ghostgames> brb -- time to feed doggies & hubbie
[17:13] <RainbowDragon> feed hubby first now
[17:13] <Debbie-VB> I'm serious RD. the North pole is considered to be
a part of Canada, and he has his own canadian postal code
[17:13] <RainbowDragon> ahhh, I see
[17:13] <Shiral> I hope Hubbie gets to eat at the table, at least!
[17:13] <jp> Amondson wasn't Canadian was he?
[17:13] <Nerak> Oh, so the US postal deparment can forward all that
stuff to Canada?
[17:14] <Shiral> lol, debbie
[17:14] <Martine> Found the St. Nick article on the web, no picture :-(

[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.
[17:17] * Shiral shivers Eggnog and coffee in one cub...ack
[17:17] <Mistyck> I guess you found the Lamb Biryani I set out for you,
KK :)
[17:17] <Martine> Plain egg nog, Shiral. Not mixed with coffee.
[17:17] <Mistyck> Happy Holidays and sorry I couldn't make it to
Darkover this year
[17:17] <Mistyck> Ryan says Hi also
[17:17] <Shiral> Oh, well THAT's a different story!!
[17:18] <Martine> Home made egg nog, with a small splash of rum ;-)
[17:18] <Debbie-VB> you don't mix eggnog with coffee, you mix it with
rum or branny
[17:18] * Shiral likes just ordinary eggon
[17:18] <KK> Real egg nog is yummy--but not adulterated with alcoholic
stuff--yuck!
[17:18] <Shiral> eggnog
[17:18] <Bynw> hey why isn't ryan on himself Mistyck
[17:18] <the_Bee> Mistyck, how's your songwriting gig going?
[17:18] <Shiral> jeez, fingers siezing up
[17:18] <Sedina> I can't say that I've ever been a fan of egg nog.
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. Grrr!
[17:18] <Shiral> Stick with it, Sedina It's tasty =o)
[17:18] * Bynw doesnt like eggnog, never has
[17:18] * Nerak Quit (User has been mind-ripped )
[17:19] <Martine> Egg nog (real, or real good store bought) can be
blamed for putting three extra pounds on my hips every December!
[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!
[17:20] <Shiral> wb, bevin kb
[17:20] <jp> Bevin and Nerak will have no brains left by the end of the
evening
[17:20] <Martine> Home made is definitely best!
[17:20] <kirienne> cool Mistyck
[17:20] <the_Bee> rehi bevinkb
[17:20] <BevinKB> lol
[17:20] <Debbie-VB> homemade anything is usually better
[17:20] <BevinKB> brb, nerak may need help
[17:20] <Shiral> Oh yes, Homemade IS best
[17:20] <Mistyck> thanks, Kirienne
[17:20] <Shiral> But Bud's eggnog is VERY good
[17:20] <Shiral> if you don't have time to make it yourself
[17:20] <KK> I think possets can vary, depending on what's available.
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

books
[17:21] <Nerak> Daughter resurrected my connection
[17:21] <Shiral> hot eggnog!
[17:21] * BevinKB sighs
[17:21] <the_Bee> wb Nerak
[17:21] <Bynw> hot chocolate with lots of marshmellows on the other
hand is very yummy
[17:21] <Martine> Southern Comfort brand egg nog (without alcohol,
actually) is the best store-bought version around here.
[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.
[17:23] <the_Bee> I thought Nog was living on Deep Space 9
[17:23] <Nerak> I haven't figured out boiled custard
[17:23] <BevinKB> lol
[17:23] <BevinKB> posset = spiced bedtime tea
[17:23] <Shiral> I think possets can vary, depending on what's
available. 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!
[17:25] * jp has left #Deryni_Destinations
[17:25] <BevinKB> especially on a waterbed
[17:25] <Nerak> Frangelica - sigh
[17:25] <Mistyck> hehe
[17:26] <Debbie-VB> mixtures
[17:26] <Mistyck> I can see how spurs on a waterbed would be a BIG
problem!
[17:26] <Martine> Egg nog recipe -
http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_4923,00.html
[17:26] <Nerak> What 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!
[17:27] <Wrengl> hi katherine
[17:27] <Wrengl> hello martine
[17:27] <Martine> hi wrengl!

[17:27] <kirienne> Hi Pat......I hope you are feeling better. 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] <BevinKB> teen Kelson?
[17:28] <Shiral> kelson at any age
[17:28] <Martine> lol shiral!
[17:28] <BevinKB> lol
[17:28] <Ghostgames> back -- and, Shiral, we're sitting on the
couch/chairs in the livingroom eating while Paul watches his Jimmy
Neutron DVDs. :-)
[17:28] <Nerak> Chainmail does tend to get caught in the hair
[17:28] <Shiral> Excellent, Ann
[17:28] <BevinKB> not unless it's been lined in fur
[17:28] <Martine> And pinch.
[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

alarm system with mail.

[17:29] <Sedina> hi tika
[17:29] <the_Bee> hi Tika
[17:29] <BevinKB> you would want to wear the mail directly on the skin
[17:29] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, Tika
[17:29] <kirienne> hi Tika, how goes the candle selling?
[17:29] <KK> Nerak, linking that thought with chainmail bikinis makes
me cringe--but you meant to do that, didn't you? ;-)
[17:29] * Bynw huggles the stuffing out of Tika
[17:29] <Tika> can't...breathe...
[17:29] <Dov> unless you're traveling through central park :-D

[17:29] <Shiral> Tika, are you ready to illuminate your town for
Christmas, with all your candles? =o)
[17:29] <Dov> but sir trudy did
[17:30] * BevinKB holds up a halo above Nerak
[17:30] <Dov> old sca story
[17:30] * RainbowDragon carefully puts the stuffing back into Tika
[17:30] * Tika turns a pretty shade of blue
[17:30] <KK> BTW, Nerak, I understand that Caid is to get its first
lady knight soon.
[17:30] * Bynw lets go of Tika

[17:30] <BevinKB> it's as bad as wearing fur or bone tails
[17:30] <Martine> Shiral, is that Abu Dhabi or East Vesztika?
[17:30] <Debbie-VB> Halos-R-us?
[17:30] <Tika> candles are good, not as hectic as last year but that's
okay by me :)
[17:31] <Nerak> Wonderful, A lady Knight in Caid, I sorta wish Meridies
had got his first Master at Arms with himself
[17:31] <Shiral> East Veskitza <G>
[17:31] <BevinKB> lol
[17:31] <Sedina> I happen to like my stainless steel halo, thank you

[17:31] <Shiral> =o)
[17:31] <Martine> It's very lovely on you.
[17:31] <Shiral> it's only a little bit bent!
[17:31] <Bynw> those stainless steel ones balance on horns better
[17:31] <Tika> do we need to bring some polish for it? :P
[17:31] <kirienne> lol
[17:31] <Tika> shine it up a bit..
[17:31] <Shiral> And they don't rust easily
[17:31] <Mistyck> hiyas Tika!
[17:32] <Tika> howdy to all :)
[17:32] <Mistyck> that's the best part of Stainless Steel and Non-Stick
Halos
[17:32] <Shiral> How's the candle business, Tika?
[17:32] <Sedina> the big problem I have now is that I no longer have
hair that I can use to hide the horns
[17:32] <Shiral> Oops, sorry I see you've already answered that
[17:32] <Tika> it's good thanks
[17:32] <Tika> now until Christmas will be hectic
[17:32] <Tika> but not terribly so
[17:32] <Martine> Brb. Gotta get empty dinner plate out of cat reach
[17:32] <Nerak> You could go to cons as a Reverend Mother from Dune
[17:32] <Tika> tomorrow's our last day off until year end, I'm afraid
[17:32] <Shiral> That's retail Christmas, for ya
[17:33] <RainbowDragon> I think Tika should say that the candle
business WAXES and wanes
[17:33] <Tika> so we are putting it to good use :)
[17:33] <kirienne> you'll have horn hiding hair before you know it,
when do your chemo treatments end?

several of our folk over there.

system's full of glitches

[17:58] <Martine> Rowena just hits it now when she stretches in her

[17:58] <Sedina> I've been trying to break Sadie of the habit of
walking across my keyboard....all it takes is a can of compressed air.
I don't even have to use it. If I just put my hand on it, she runs the
other way
[17:58] <kirienne> lol
[17:58] <KK> Awww, poor kitty!

[17:59] <Sedina> Sadie likes water
[17:59] <Shiral> So do Cesca and Nina
[17:59] <Martine> Water wouldn't make it through the fur of either of
my cats.
[17:59] <Bynw> Neko doesnt care for water sprayed at him
[17:59] <Sedina> she sticks her head under the faucet, so a little
squirt from a spray bottle wouldn't phase her
[17:59] <Shiral> They're fascinated by my morning Toilette
[17:59] <BevinKB> your cats like water on their fur?
[17:59] <Shiral> yes
[17:59] <Martine> And considering Rowena jumps in the shower with me if
I don't give her enough morning attention! <laugh>
[17:59] <Nerak> Add a couple of drops of floral perfume to the water,
son hates it!
[18:00] <Shiral> Nina SITS in the sink, just after it's been drained
