[14:38] <elaine> True, Shiral
[14:38] <JastaElf> Hi Katherine, good evening to you!
[14:38] <KK> Hi, guys!
[14:38] <Mistyck> how are you today?
[14:38] <KK> OK.
[14:38] <Shiral> Hello Katherine!
[14:39] <KK> Hi, Shiral.
[14:39] <Shiral> Hooray, I'm at home and you came on a day I can chat!=o)
=o) =o)
[14:39] <elaine> Hi Katherine
[14:39] <KK> And you obviously have power again.
[14:39] <Shiral> Yes, thank goodness
[14:39] <Dov> Hi KK
[14:39] <JastaElf> Katherine, how's the Major doing in surgical recovery?
[14:40] <KK> Hello, Dov. And hello to the couple of new names.
[14:40] <Mistyck> did you have a good Easter Katherine?
[14:40] <Shiral> Oh my, did Scott have surgery????
[14:40] <KK> Scott's doing fine.
[14:40] <Dov> Finished them all
[14:40] <KK> Cataract.
[14:40] <Shiral> I'm way behind the curve
[14:40] <Mistyck> cool, Dov
[14:40] <JastaElf> How's his sight doing?
[14:40] <KK> Sight is fine. He's got another 2 weeks before he gets his
final sign-off and can get his new reading glasses.
[14:41] <JastaElf> Wow, that's wonderful news! I'm so relieved!!
[14:41] <Mistyck> me too!
[14:41] <KK> On the less happy front, we nealy lost Scrappy yesterday.
[14:41] <Mistyck> oh no!
[14:41] <Shiral> Congratulations to Scott. Okay, I DID hear about the
cataract surgery, I was just wondering if he'd had some new surgery I had
not heard about
[14:41] <JastaElf> Oh no! What happened?
[14:41] <KK> A woman hit her. ran over her in the car park next door.
[14:41] <Shiral> ACK!?
[14:41] <JastaElf> Oh God!!
[14:41] <Mistyck> awww!
[14:41] <Shiral> Oh no, I'm so sorry, Katherine
[14:42] <Shiral> Will she be okay?
[14:42] <Dov> Aack!\
[14:42] <KK> They thought at first that she'd broken a hind
leg--mid-femur--but this morning's x-rays show a cracked pelvis.
[14:42] <RainbowDragon> Greeting, Katherine!
[14:42] *** JM has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[14:42] <DeryniBot> Chocolate and Cats, just a few of our favorite things
here JM
[14:42] <Shiral> Ouch,
[14:42] <Mistyck> ouch!
[14:42] <Shiral> Hi JIM
[14:42] <Shiral> JM, too
[14:42] <Mistyck> hi JM
[14:42] <JastaElf> Oh the poor baby... is she still in hospital?
[14:42] <Annie> hi JM
[14:42] <elaine> Ouch indeed
[14:43] <KK> We have to collect her in the AM from the emergency vet and
take her to her own vet, where they'll decide what to do next.
[14:43] <JM> Hi all
[14:43] <RainbowDragon> Sorry for the delay was hanging a few shirts from
the dryer
[14:43] <KK> Hi, RD.
[14:43] <Shiral> BRB
[14:43] <Annie> is this your cat, KK?
[14:44] <KK> The orthopedic surgeon on the team will have to decide whether
it needs to be stapled or whether they can just immobilize her for the
couple of weeks it will take to knit.
[14:44] <KK> Fortunately, dogs heal pretty fast.
[14:44] <Shiral> Back
[14:44] <KK> Dog--Bassador.
[14:44] <Shiral> A very sweet dog, too
[14:44] <Annie> sorry - not up to speed on your pets yet ;)
[14:45] <Shiral> Annie, think Lotsa cats and two dogs =o)
[14:45] <KK> The stupid cow who hit her was arguing with her kids and not
paying attention to her driving.
[14:45] <KK> At least she came and told us.
[14:45] <Mistyck> ick!
[14:45] <Mistyck> true
[14:45] <JastaElf> Thank god she told you!!
[14:45] <Shiral> An object lesson in keeping one's mind on one's driving
[14:45] <JastaElf> But still, how stupid can a person BE?? Driving requires
attention!!
[14:45] <Mistyck> definitely!
[14:45] <Shiral> And yes, at least she did the honorable thing
[14:45] <KK> Yep. And Scrappy is not exactly a small dog; just short. ;-)
[14:45] <Shiral> In telling you
[14:46] <Annie> kids are so distracting - should be put in the boot (trunk)
[14:46] <KK> The truly honorable thing will be if she agrees to pay the vet
bill.
[14:46] <KK> Harumph.
[14:46] <Shiral> Well.. yes
[14:46] <JastaElf> LOL! Annie, I agree... some husbands, too
[14:46] <Annie> lol jasta
[14:46] <JastaElf> Yes, KK, I agree with that too. She'd darned well
better....
[14:46] <elaine> Kids can also be a four letter word. ;)
[14:46] <Shiral> Now Jasta, it could be very embarrassing if the cops
stopped you <G>
[14:46] <Shiral> I hope she DOES
[14:46] * JastaElf glances toward spousal unit and smiles with teeth bared
[14:46] <JM> Wait a minute nothing wrong with husbands though cell phones
should be put there
[14:46] <KK> Anyway, all 5 cats are fine. And we finished the first room
this week. We now have our new laundry room uyp and running.
[14:47] <JastaElf> Husbands can be a four letter word too. ;-)
[14:47] <Shiral> Definitely cell phones
[14:47] <JastaElf> Hooray for the laundry room!
[14:47] <Shiral> Excellent, KK
[14:47] <Shiral> Husb.... doesn't quite work, Jasta =o)
[14:47] <JastaElf> Sorry JM, I don't mean all males blanket-like. <g>
[14:47] <Shiral> Unless you mean the olde English spelling
[14:47] <JastaElf> I can think of a word that would fit MINE, Shiral... ;-)
[14:47] <JastaElf> LOL!
[14:47] <Shiral> MOre than one, I'll bet
[14:47] <JM> Not a problem just had to defend us husbands
[14:47] <KK> We can now strip out the old laundry room, put in new floor and
dry wall on one side, then move clothes racks into there while we redecorate
the bedroom where they presently reside.
[14:48] <JastaElf> :-) Some of you are superlative. JM, Bynw, Scott...
others I'm sure!
[14:48] <Shiral> Glad to hear that progress is being made
[14:48] <JastaElf> What will go in place of the old laundry room, KK?
[14:48] <Shiral> Dare we ask about Childe Morgan?
[14:49] <JastaElf> Childe Morgan goes into the old laundry?? Woo...
playroom for little Ducal persons... :-)
[14:49] <KK> New dressing room for Scott, which will also be linen and
cleaning storage, and suitcases and such.
[14:49] <Dov> I love the SCA, but you've cured me of any fantasies about
owning a real castle.
[14:49] <JastaElf> Ah! Then a playroom for BIG baronial persons!
[14:49] <Shiral> Kelric does the laundry... Now THERE's a recipe for
disaster
[14:49] <JM> Soap bubbles everywhere, can see it now
[14:49] <JastaElf> LOL!
[14:49] <KK> Got a bit done on the book, but not nearly as much as I'd
hoped. But we got the velux window into the attic level. Wow, what a
difference!
[14:50] <JastaElf> Bright light... :-)
[14:50] <Shiral> Well, perhaps one or two Barons would have preferred a nice
little flat, but storage could be a problem =o)
[14:50] <KK> Yes! Utterly transforms it.
[14:50] <JastaElf> Is it a utilitarian wondow, or a big pretty one?
[14:50] <JastaElf> window even... darn rental fingers...
[14:50] <KK> Big, a bit more than a square meter.
[14:50] <JastaElf> Excellent!!
[14:50] <Shiral> Yes, that WOULD make a difference

[14:51] <KK> Yep, we can now decorate that entire floor of the flat.
[14:51] <Shiral> Cool!
[14:51] <JastaElf> coolies!!
[14:51] <KK> Woo-hoo, another new name!
[14:51] <Mistyck> KK: Kryss is Mak's daughter
[14:51] <JastaElf> So Kryss, where's Mom? :-)
[14:51] <KK> Ah. Next generation!
[14:52] <Kryss> playing with her newly put in stereo for her car
[14:52] <Mistyck> Kryss: you guys still having email problems?
[14:52] <JastaElf> Deryni: the Next Generation!
[14:52] <Annie> working on my next generation, but 6 is a bit young yet!
[14:52] <KK> Yep.
[14:52] <JastaElf> LOL!
[14:52] <Annie> she's up to Narnia
[14:52] <Mistyck> and Kryss...how are you doing?
[14:52] <Kryss> umm..not that i know of, but i've been home for liek a day,
so i dont' really have a clue
[14:52] * Shiral says Pan is here to say hello to Katherine and all chatters
[14:52] <Annie> Gwynedd may take a little longer
[14:52] <KK> Mistyck, now is little Evaine doing?
[14:52] <JastaElf> Shiral, how's Pan feeling?
[14:52] <Shiral> Build her up slowly, Annie =o) Narnia is a good series
[14:53] <Mistyck> she's gotten used to Chance and is running up and down
everything!
[14:53] <Kryss> I'm tired, and jet laged, but good otherwise
[14:53] <Shiral> Pan is becoming a very spoiled cat. =o_
[14:53] <Shiral> =o)
[14:53] <JastaElf> LOL! Well, he should do!@
[14:53] <Mistyck> home for leave Kryss?
[14:53] <KK> Many spoiled cats in this crew!
[14:53] <Shiral> I've changed his diet and now his OLD food is no longer
good enough for him
[14:53] <Mistyck> how is he doing Shiral?
[14:53] <Annie> 2 spoiled cats thisaway
[14:53] <JastaElf> :-) Mine are not spoiled. (Jasta watches her nose
grow...)
[14:54] <Shiral> But he's put on weight and his coat is nicely glossy, so I
say it's worth it
[14:54] <JM> and grow
[14:54] <Kryss> no, actually, i was chaptered..for some stuff they found out
about in highschool...
[14:54] <Kryss> and they wouldn't elet me out of it
[14:54] <Mistyck> ahh, OK, Kryss
[14:54] <JastaElf> Well... we're glad you're home in any case.
[14:54] <Mistyck> Evaine has gotten very bold...she actually goes and stands
under Chance now!
[14:54] <Shiral> HE continues to respond well to his kitty meds, except when
I have to poke the pills down his gullet
[14:54] <KK> Yeah, when you've only got 1, it doesn't seem so extravagant to
feed the singleton the very best food.
[14:54] <KK> Me, I'd go broke feeding 5 on the expensive stuff!
[14:54] <Shiral> Nope =o)
[14:55] <JastaElf> LOL! And Pan of course deserves the best!
[14:55] <JastaElf> me too. KK
[14:55] <Shiral> On Ann's recommendation, I got this fancy kind of cat food
from Sojourner farms
[14:55] <Shiral> If I had five cats, it would be a VERY different story
[14:55] <JM> We have four
[14:55] <Laura> two is enough for me
[14:55] * Mistyck has one of everything...one kid, one cat and one dog
[14:55] <JastaElf> I should send you some glyconutrients for him, Shiral--a
little ambrotose powder snuck into his food, he'll be like a kitten in days!
[14:55] <Shiral> Later this spring there will be two cats, again
[14:56] <Shiral> He's been batting around his catnip dreidl now and then
[14:56] <JastaElf> "A Great Cat Happens Here"?? :-)
[14:56] <Shiral> And he "Helps" me while I make the bed in the morning
[14:56] <KK> Mine free-feed on Go-Cat crunchies, and I stock up on Whiskas
pouches when they're on sale; intersperse those with a variety of lesser
brands.
[14:57] <Annie> one of mine had her life saved by Iams so they only get that
[14:57] <KK> Edgar likes to help make the bed, too.
[14:57] <Dov> good one, JE
[14:57] <Shiral> LOL, Jasta
[14:57] <KK> We tried that, but they really didn't like it.
[14:57] <JastaElf> My cats prefer we not make the beds, and lay on them all
morning to prevent same. ;-)
[14:57] <Shiral> ANd Nicholas and Jessicat just like to SLEEP in the beds.
=o)

[14:57] <JastaElf> SUCH indignance when we move them.... ;-)
[14:57] <Laura> Mine has helped "make the bed" very wet twice in two months.
Declawing is looking like a great option
[14:57] <Shiral> Hello Kirienne
[14:57] <Mistyck> hi Kirienne
[14:57] <KK> Yep.
[14:57] <kirienne> hi everyone
[14:58] <JastaElf> Hi kirienne!
[14:58] <Annie> hi Kirienne
[14:58] <elaine> Hi Kirienne
[14:58] <KK> Or a thicker mattress pad.
[14:58] <RainbowDragon> Hi, kirienne
[14:58] <Shiral> I have to admit, I do not miss the way Isadora would pee on
my pillows
[14:58] <JM> One of ours truely believes the corner of the bed where my feet
go belongs to her and gets very upset when I try and put my feet on the bed
[14:58] <kirienne> LOL Shiral
[14:58] <Annie> Jessie seems to have died in the middle of the carpet
[14:58] <JM> Hi Kirienne
[14:59] <KK> Figuratively, I trust?
[14:59] <Annie> she can make herself about a yard square and a quarter of an
inch thick. How do cats do that?
[14:59] <Shiral> LOL
[14:59] <JastaElf> Special Feline Magick, Annie\
[14:59] <Shiral> FLat Cat Syndrome
[14:59] <Dov> LOL
[14:59] <Laura> not pee, we have a water bed
[15:00] <Shiral> Wow, that could be very expensive, Laura
[15:00] <Laura> and we already tried the thicker mattress pad, he just
clawed it aside
[15:00] <Mistyck> yikes!
[15:00] <JastaElf> That's a determined kitty...
[15:00] <KK> Why does he do that, then?
[15:00] <kirienne> annie, maybe she likes pretending to be a carpet, she's
jus tplaying pretend
[15:00] <Shiral> Kitty kicks?
[15:01] <Laura> He gets my husband up in the morning by pouncing on and
attacking his toes. I guess he just gets carried away and decides if the
feet are gone he may as well get the mattress
[15:01] <Mistyck> Chance decided since everyone is talking about Kitties, he
needs some attention too!
[15:01] <KK> Get the thicker pad but with well-fitted sides. That should
keep it in place.

[15:02] <Debbie-VB> and a slightly late happy easter to you
[15:02] <Laura> Craig refuses to even let kitty out because our last kitty
got killed by a car
[15:02] <Mistyck> hi Debbie
[15:02] <JastaElf> You're still within the octave, VB. :-)
[15:02] <Shiral> Happy late easter, Debbie
[15:02] <Shiral> Laura, how about just keeping the kitty in the house but
outside the bedroom?
[15:02] <KK> BTW, on a totally different subject--did you guys get the same
photo I did, of Barticus in Afghanistan?
[15:03] <JastaElf> In fact I think you have til Pentecost to say Happy
Easter. :-)
[15:03] <Shiral> No,
[15:03] <RainbowDragon> nope
[15:03] <JastaElf> I didn't get it, KK
[15:03] <Mistyck> Kosovo, but I think so
[15:03] <kirienne> yep Debbie, it was mentioned in church today that we get
to celebrate Easter for 7 weeks
[15:03] <JastaElf> yup!
[15:03] <Debbie-VB> I got no piccies from Bart :~(
[15:03] <KK> He was looking cool in his BDU.
[15:03] <Shiral> WE hid 20 easter eggs, and found 19
[15:03] <Mistyck> yep!
[15:03] <RainbowDragon> maybe you could send it out to a few of us, KK?
[15:04] <JastaElf> Guess he doesn't love us. Sigh... :-)
[15:04] *** baxtercaroline has quit IRC

[15:04] <KK> I'll give it a try. It's a big file.
[15:04] <RainbowDragon> ah
[15:04] <Shiral> OR maybe he doesn't have our e-mail addies handy where he
is
[15:04] <Laura> Yep, I got the pic
[15:04] <JastaElf> We had a nice, if wet Easter; today we did "experimental
liturgy." ;-)
[15:05] <KK> That's likely.
[15:05] <Mistyck> I'm glad he's doing alright. When they said there was
fighting with the US MIlitary in Kosovo last week I was a bit worried

of "proactive" vestries... ;-)

[15:06] <JM> Hi Babayaga
[15:06] <Shiral> Not much fun to listen to?
[15:06] <KK> Shiral, I think I'll send the file to you, and you can forward
it on to the list folk who know him.
[15:06] <Mistyck> Katherine: Kendall has started a forum for writers on
Bardsquill and Babayaga posted a martial arts Deryni fanfic
[15:06] <Shiral> Okay, KK
[15:06] <Annie> Babayaga - r u ok with me copying them to read on good old
fashioned paper? I can't read properly on screens!
[15:06] <KK> Ah.
[15:06] <JastaElf> Instead of "The Word of the Lord" after the readings, we
said "Listen to what the Spirit is telling us." Congregation stared at me
like I was on drugs.

[15:09] <Shiral> Especially dishy Torenthi Dukes =o)
[15:09] <Annie> cool, thanks Babayaga
[15:09] * Shiral winks at Nancy
[15:09] <JastaElf> LOL!
[15:09] <Nancy> Katherine, John wants to know how is the weather in the
Emerald Isle?
[15:10] <Debbie-VB> or corinth dukes
[15:10] <Nancy> I am ceding over my share of DTDs to Shiral :)
[15:10] <Annie> St Neots Cambridgeshire?
[15:10] <kirienne> yep, I much prefer the Coroth Dukes
[15:10] <Shiral> Wow, all of them?
[15:10] <Shiral> Where will I put them all?
[15:10] <Nancy> Yep, Shiral - all of them
[15:10] <Shiral> That's quite a zoo. Hope they don't mind eating cat food
[15:10] <Mistyck> lol Shiral!
[15:10] <kirienne> Shiral, I'm sure you'll find a place
[15:10] <KK> It's been rainy, with intermittent sunshine--and still pretty
cool. Of course, April is like that.
[15:11] <Debbie-VB> I did mean coroth, not corinth. Two totally difrferent
places
[15:11] <Shiral> Daffodils out yet, Katherine?
[15:11] <Dov> I would like to know...when you used the name "Lord Dov," how
early could you document it?
[15:11] <Shiral> Actually, he would be the Duke of Corwyn
[15:11] * JastaElf loves daffodils...

[15:11] <Tika> hello all :)
[15:11] <KK> Daffs out and in the process of leaving.
[15:12] <Shiral> They never last long enough
[15:12] <kirienne> yep, that's right Shiral, I just get all confuzzled at
the mere thought of him <g>
[15:12] <Shiral> Easy to do, Kirienne
[15:12] <kirienne> hi Tika
[15:12] * JastaElf tackle-huggles Tika
[15:12] <Tika> weeeee!

[15:12] <Debbie-VB> I just get confuzzled. Period.
[15:12] * Tika is tackle-huggled
[15:12] <Tika> how are things on your side of the pond, KK?
[15:12] * Shiral helps Tika and Jasta back on their feet
[15:12] <KK> Dov is actually Hebrew, I think--and I have no idea how early
it would have appeared in Western Europe.
[15:12] <Tika> whew, thanks Shiral!
[15:13] <JastaElf> Thanks, Shiral... :-)
[15:13] <Dov> It's my hebrew name <g> and I think its first usage is 18th
cent.
[15:13] <KK> I just liked it. :-)
[15:13] <Mistyck> on an interesting sidenote, KK, I found out that my maiden
name "Rami" is both a Hebrew word as well as a common Arab Palestinian last
name as well as a rather common Israeli first name!

[15:16] <Nancy> Oooo Tika!
[15:16] <Annie> Bynw, is it my imagination or is this new Java whoosit more
stable than the last whoosit? I don't seem to get dumped off nearly so
often now (famous last words)
[15:16] <JastaElf> Atlantia, here....
[15:16] <Shiral> A candle store????
[15:16] <Tika> yep! I put the deposit down on it Tuesday :)
[15:16] * Tika does a happy joy dance
[15:16] <Nancy> Katherine is transplanted from Caid :)
[15:16] <kirienne> wow, tiak, that's cool your own candle store
[15:16] <Nancy> a real storefront 'n everything????
[15:16] <Bynw> Annie, the new java chat is MUCH better than the one we were
using previously
[15:16] <babayaga> I'll have to try the java interface; xchat makes me :-(
[15:16] * Annie waits to be dumped off by the new whoosit
[15:16] <Laura> cool Tika
[15:16] * Debbie-VB would love to see Bynw and Tioka's candle store
[15:17] <Tika> it's actually going to be a "soy store" with more than just
candles - a real storefront yes indeedy!
[15:17] <KK> Oooh, Annie, dangerous words! Peer will hear!
[15:17] <Nancy> I got a bottle of REAL maple syrup when I was in Maine for
Easter... I'm afraid to try it :)
[15:17] <Shiral> Need, Tika
[15:17] <Tika> I'll take lotsa pictures Debbie trust me
[15:17] <Bynw> dont be calling Peer Annie ... he WILL hear and come
[15:17] <Shiral> Nancy, Maple syrup rarely attacks =o)
[15:17] <Laura> I am not so sure this is more stable. The only names
showing on my list are the ones that came in after KK
[15:17] <JM> Never challenge PEER
[15:17] <KK> Afraid? Whyever would you be afraid. Real maple surple is
wonderful!
[15:17] <Nancy> hmph tell that to my hips
[15:17] <Tika> hey they are right about peer - I cursed and taunted him the
other day and he did have his revenge on me
[15:17] <Shiral> Oh. you mean attack in THAT way
[15:17] <Nancy> It was a gift because all I've ever had is Mrs.
Butterworth's
[15:18] <Shiral> Oh wow, a different substance all together
[15:18] * Annie likes to live dangerously
[15:18] <Mistyck> lol Annie!
[15:18] <Tika> obviously!
[15:18] <elaine> I don't think that Mrs B's and real maple syrup can be
mentioned in the same sentence together.
[15:18] <KK> You'll love it!
[15:18] <Tika> you and Mistyck should get along well ;)
[15:18] * Tika ducks
[15:18] <Nancy> That's what I'm afraid of :)
[15:18] <Mistyck> heehee, Tika!
[15:18] <KK> Yummy over ice cream, too.
[15:18] <Annie> life on the edge - that's what I say
[15:18] <Nancy> Yep vanilla
[15:18] <Tika> syrup on ice cream?!?!
[15:18] <the_Bee> nothing beats real maple syrup. Of course, I'm prejudiced
in favor of the Vermont kind
[15:18] <Wrengl> nancy the real thing is often less sweet than the pancake
syrup stuff
[15:18] <Debbie-VB> well, acting and Keanu Reeves are sometimes mentioned in
the same sentance
[15:18] <Laura> Mrs Butterworth is like cubic zirconium compared to a
diamond
[15:18] <KK> Oh, yes!
[15:18] <Shiral> Yummy on everything
[15:19] <TheCatWhisperer> Hi, KK. Greetings from Idaho! ;-)
[15:19] <Wrengl> much better tasting also
[15:19] <Nancy> Ah Keanu Reeves the man with a range of 2-1/2 expressions!
[15:19] <Annie> have you tried ice cream with blackcurrant liquer (can't
spell it) on it?
[15:19] <Wrengl> hi cw
[15:19] <KK> Hi, Whisperer!
[15:19] <elaine> But are acting, Keanu and maple syrup ever in the same
sentence?
[15:19] <Nancy> who pat, real maple syrup or Keanu Reeves? ;)
[15:19] <Dov> Maple syrup on REAL vanilla ice cream...a true luxury.
[15:19] <Shiral> Okay, maybe not yummy on Spinach
[15:19] <Wrengl> real maple syrup
[15:19] <Shiral> I hope not, Elaine
[15:19] <Annie> liqueur?
[15:19] <elaine> ;)
[15:19] <Nancy> I have some berry sauce from Sedina - I can't remember the
type but it's native to N Dakota
[15:19] <Annie> you know what I mean!
[15:19] <Debbie-VB> Dov, that totally made me drool
[15:19] <Shiral> Juneberries
[15:20] <KK> How about vanilla ice cream with Lemoncello (sp?) liqueur?
Yum!
[15:20] * Dov grins
[15:20] <Nancy> Yeah those.
[15:20] * Bynw will just take strawberry ice cream by itself
[15:20] <Shiral> I think I've got some Limoncello in the deep recesses of my
fridge...
[15:20] <TheCatWhisperer> Are there also Julyberries and Augustberries?
[15:20] <Laura> mmmmmmm lemoncello liqueur MMMMMMM
[15:20] <Tika> LOL
[15:20] * Bynw will also have a glass of pepsi to go with it of course
[15:20] <KK> Try it on ice cream. Yum!
[15:20] <kirienne> all this talk of ice cream reminds me that I need to get
more when I go to the store tonight
[15:20] <Annie> or Baileys on ice cream
[15:20] <Nancy> YUCK Pepsi YUCK
[15:20] <Shiral> Ah, well, the ice cream is the problem
[15:20] <Annie> very sweet and sickly
[15:20] <kirienne> yep, Annie, that is my favorite
[15:20] * JastaElf is getting hungry...
[15:21] <elaine> Mmm Baileys.....
[15:21] <Nancy> Diet Coke rules!
[15:21] <Shiral> I try to keep that OUT of my freezer
[15:21] <Tika> Nancy, I wholeheartedly agree.... but I live with an addict
:)
[15:21] <Nancy> Lime flavored
[15:21] <Laura> yes, Baileys is very good on ice cream as well
[15:21] <Tika> hey I haven't tried the Lime yet
[15:21] <Nancy> gack a Pepsi addict??? no wonder he's so pale!
[15:21] <Tika> sounds good tho
[15:21] <Tika> ROFL
[15:21] <Shiral> LOL
[15:21] <Annie> lime coke?
[15:21] <Tika> but it adds to the Hugo look ;)
[15:21] <Nancy> LIme flavored diet coke
[15:21] <Bynw> that and no sun either ... sunlight=bad
[15:21] <Annie> got lemon over here - not lime
[15:21] <Shiral> Can't quite picture it, myself.
[15:21] <Laura> the lime coke is good
[15:22] <KK> Yep, lemon just arrived. Have you tried it, Annie?
[15:22] <Nancy> the problem with lemon is that the recipe for California is
AWFUL - the one in Hong Kong is AWESOME - go figure
[15:22] <Shiral> Tika, have you noticed if Bynw's eye teeth come to a fine
point??
[15:22] <the_Bee> Classic Coke for me, thank you
[15:22] <Annie> like the lemon diet coke
[15:22] <Tika> um, yes Shiral and I have the scars to prove it
[15:22] <Nancy> Yeah and he gets this weird stare sometimes...
[15:22] <Debbie-VB> Lime coke? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
[15:22] <Tika> hehehehe
[15:22] <Shiral> LOL
[15:22] <JM> Well it is time to go light the Bar-B-Q pit and start cooking.
All this talk of food has got to me. That and hungry kids. You all have a
good week
[15:22] <Shiral> =o)

[15:22] <kirienne> wow, started to type good by to jm but he was already
gone
[15:22] <KK> You guys are making me hungry too.
[15:22] <Shiral> I wonder if any of my newly adopted Torenthi Dukes can
manage a bbq
[15:23] <Nancy> I ate at the Texas Roadhouse in Methuen, MA - omigod was it
good!
[15:23] <babayaga> Darn, it looks like I have to go--grocery shopping calls.
I did get chapt 4 posted just now.
[15:23] <Nancy> I did fine on the diet until I fell into the bucket o'
peanuts
[15:23] <JastaElf> OH!! Nancy, I've eaten there...
[15:23] * JastaElf drools...
[15:23] <Nancy> It was sooooo good
[15:23] <Mistyck> cool, Babayaga!
[15:23] * Bynw sneaks over to the grill and brings it inside
[15:23] <Annie> lol we were all out in the garden other day - first decent
day - and DD said I do like us all being out in the garden together it's
like a BBQ with no sausages
[15:23] <Tika> any Texas Roadhouse is good
[15:23] <Dov> when it gets really hot, add some lime sherbet to good, cold
seltzer--very refreshing.
[15:23] <Shiral> We just have Armadillo Willy's out here in CA
[15:23] <Tika> LOL
[15:23] <Tika> what a name
[15:23] <KK> We went to a new restaurant last Saturday for our anniversary
and it was awesome. I had probably the best duck I've ever eaten.
[15:23] <Nancy> Yum, Dov - heh but then I *like* Maneschewitz
[15:23] <Shiral> Yes, but pretty good bbq
[15:24] <Tika> you ate Duck?!?!

[15:25] <Debbie-VB> Happy anniversary to Katherine and Scott
[15:25] <Shiral> Oh right. DUck.....

is not so bad either.
[15:26] <martine> Straight in from spring cleaning the yard. I'm pooped! <g>
[15:26] <Bynw> I know you are Nancy :-)
[15:26] * the_Bee offers Martine's steed (Stoirm?) a choice of hands
[15:26] <Shiral> You're marriage is now old enough for a drink at the pub
[15:27] <JastaElf> I can always remember their anniv. because it's the same
day that Lee was forced to surrender to Grant in 1865... *sob!*
[15:27] <martine> Stoirm picks the right hand, Bee!
[15:27] <Nancy> 21 years???? no way!!!!!
[15:27] <JastaElf> Glad to have a happier reason to remember...

[15:27] <Nancy> that's impossible, Katherine! You're like 24 years old!
[15:27] <RainbowDragon> WOW

[15:31] <Wrengl> lol shiral
[15:31] <KK> This is true. My former horse used to look like a teddy bear
in the winter--and spring shadding was amazing.
[15:31] <Shiral> I'd come home from the stable, and I'D be a chestnut
[15:31] <martine> I went home from the stable wearing my mount last week. I
expect to do the same tomorrow!
[15:32] <kirienne> LOL
[15:32] <Nancy> Well *I* did not go anywhere near a horse, thank you very
much!
[15:32] <martine> Especially since it may hit 90 degrees tomorrow. Ugh!
[15:32] <Shiral> Martine lives for the future =o)
[15:32] * kirienne did not realize that horses shed
[15:32] * Bynw refills his glass of PEPSI
[15:32] <JastaElf> Jasper is doing GREAT! He's even taller now (pushing 17
hands) and the vet thinks he will end up grey with black points, black mane
and tail. Which is JUST what I'd hoped for!! -)
[15:32] <Shiral> Oh lord, do they ever, Kirienne
[15:32] <Nancy> Silly Bynw
[15:32] <Kryss> horses shed?
[15:32] <martine> Awesome!!
[15:32] <Shiral> COol, Jasta!
[15:32] <JastaElf> Horses shed like anything. <g>
[15:32] <Nancy> Yes horses shed
[15:32] * Tika slays Bynw for using colors
[15:32] <KK> 90 degrees? In April?!
[15:32] <martine> Horses shed WORSE than cats!
[15:32] <Nancy> esp those wee little ponies
[15:32] <Shiral> Think, they're large, fur bearing mammals
[15:32] <Tika> it was 87 here today
[15:32] <Tika> in IOWA
[15:33] <Tika> geez
[15:33] <Shiral> And in the spring it all comes off!
[15:33] <martine> I know! I don't believe it either, katherine!
[15:33] <Nancy> it was barely 70 here in L.A.!
[15:33] <martine> Especially since three days ago it was still chilly.
[15:33] <Debbie-VB> is 17 hands big for a horsie?
[15:33] <Shiral> It's cold and grey, here
[15:33] <JastaElf> It was in the high 70s here today
[15:33] <KK> 27 hands?! In a half-Connemara?!
[15:33] <Annie> the Pepsi thing works better in this new one too!
[15:33] <Shiral> 17 hands is a pretty good size
[15:33] <JastaElf> Yes, 17 hands in a half-pony. Gotta love it...
[15:33] <Mistyck> it's in the 70s here in Houston
[15:33] <martine> 17 hands is a darn big horse!
[15:33] <Shiral> for that matter so is 16 hands
[15:33] <Kryss> good stuff..makes sense
[15:33] <kirienne> it is just barely 70's here today, we had sprinkles as i
was in the plant store buying new plants for the patio
[15:33] <Shiral> I think Mama's genes took over in Jasper
[15:33] <JastaElf> 17 hands = 17x4 inches at the shoulders.
[15:33] <KK> 16 is no small horse.
[15:33] <Nancy> We had a HUGE rainstorm yesterday
[15:33] <JastaElf> LOL! I think so too!
[15:34] <Annie> it absolutely hissed it down here!
[15:34] <Wrengl> a full sized horse is a BIG animal
[15:34] <Shiral> Yes
[15:34] <Nancy> what size was that retired German jumper who willed me to
slip off his back, Katherine? He was like 50 hands right?
[15:34] <Wrengl> especially when you fall on your head from one
[15:34] *** the_Bee has quit IRC (User has been mind-ripped)
[15:34] <Shiral> Even when they're NOT 17 hands high
[15:34] <kirienne> ack, Peer did find us
[15:34] <Debbie-VB> so a little under 6 ft tall at the shoulder?
[15:34] <JastaElf> LOL Nancy! 50 hands would indeed be huge...
[15:34] <Annie> ha! Missed me!!!
[15:34] <Shiral> That's a long way to fall yes yes
[15:34] * kirienne throws one of Morgan's daggers at Peer
[15:34] <martine> 50 hands! LOL!
[15:35] <Tika> a trojan horse for sure :)
[15:35] <KK> 17 hands is already a long way to fall off.
[15:35] <JastaElf> yup, and I'm only 5'4". We look right silly together.
<g>
[15:35] <Shiral> At that height you'd have to use the ladder
[15:35] <Wrengl> lol jasta
[15:35] <TheCatWhisperer> *pokes Peer wit a Klingon pain stick*
[15:35] <Nancy> it was AWFUL. Damn horse. it was a teeny tiny little saddle
for my not so tiny posterior
[15:35] <Shiral> Use the mounting block, Jasta
[15:35] <kirienne> LOL Jasta, I do hope you get to ride Jasper soon
[15:35] <martine> It's an even longer way when a 17-18 hander BUCKS you up
in the air before you fall off! <g>
[15:35] <Debbie-VB> 50 hands would be one of them there oliphants
[15:35] <JastaElf> Me too. Doc says with the back injury and the neck
thing, I can't ride til May 15 or later. <grrr>
[15:35] <Shiral> That's a small apartment building
[15:35] <Nancy> the horse was eating. then the horse was not eating. It
moved. I wasn't read. I fell off backwards and landed on my back.
[15:35] <Shiral> ARRGGH>>>>
[15:35] <KK> Nancy, I think it was sort of 16-ish, actually.
[15:35] <Wrengl> i don't remember how i landed on the ground
[15:36] <Shiral> owie, Nancy
[15:36] <Nancy> then Miss Katherine made me get BACK ON the horse
[15:36] <Wrengl> but that was freshman year in college
[15:36] <martine> Miss Katherine is very smart :-)
[15:36] <Shiral> Katherine can be tough =o)
[15:36] <KK> How else were you going to get back to the barn?
[15:36] <Laura> It his 95 here in Omaha on Thursday
[15:36] <Wrengl> and the instructor told me he had never seen a worse rider
[15:36] <Shiral> LOL
[15:36] <Nancy> Hmph, a car would have been nice.
[15:36] <Wrengl> that was the end of riding for me
[15:36] *** Xavier99 has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[15:36] <DeryniBot> Welcome Xavier99 to all things Katherine Kurtz
[15:36] <Debbie-VB> The instructor hasn't seen me yet pat
[15:36] <kirienne> LOL Pat
[15:36] <Tika> Laura, and we could still have snow!
[15:36] <JastaElf> Good of KK to do that. When I fell off years ago, no one
made me do that. Took be 18 years to go back to a barn... :-(
[15:36] <Nancy> I bruised my lung and everything. and THEN I got the flu
when I got home. :(
[15:36] <Annie> hi Xavier
[15:36] <TheCatWhisperer> Welcome, Xavier99
[15:36] *** Xavier99 has left #Deryni_Destinations
[15:37] <Laura> yes, I know...sigh!!
[15:37] <martine> So it was generally a good experience, Nancy?
[15:37] <Nancy> Ok so who is going to Worldcon in Boston over Labor Day
[15:37] <Debbie-VB> well that was fast
[15:37] <Shiral> I don't think we're the 98 people Xavier was looking for
[15:37] * martine ducks
[15:37] <Wrengl> oh i got back on a couple of weeks later
[15:37] <martine> I'm going!
[15:37] <Annie> I never got the hang of horses : I was always coming down as
they were going up
[15:37] <Shiral> ALas, probably not me
[15:37] <martine> And John's bailing :-P
[15:37] <Wrengl> then he told me in front of the class that i was terrible
[15:37] <kirienne> If I were to win the lottery soon, i could go to worldcon
[15:37] <Laura> that wasnt nice
[15:37] <KK> John isn't coming?
[15:37] <Annie> and the meeting in the middle hurt

Chris Penczak and Katherine and we're gonna have a party!!!!!

our Custodes monk decides to return from Texas...
[15:37] <KK> :-(
[15:37] <Wrengl> kathi may or may nto
[15:38] <martine> John won't be able to get the time off work around Labor
Day, because he doesn't have the seniority. And he doesn't want to drive up
and back by himself.
