[16:29] <Mistyck> hi Katherine
[16:29] <Bynw> Hiyas Katherine!
[16:29] <Shiral1> Hello Katherine!
[16:29] <TerryOBrien> Good evening, Katherine!
[16:29] <Shiral1> Long time no see
[16:29] <Shiral1> =o)
[16:29] <JastaElf> Evening, your Excellency! :-)
[16:29] <KK> Hello, all.
[16:29] <the_Bee> hi KK glad you could make it
[16:30] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, Katherine
[16:30] <KK> Somehow, it seems appropriate that, even as we mourn the
passing of Isadora Kitty, we welcome Mistyck as a new Cat Mommy.
[16:30] * Dov bows to Countess Bevin
[16:30] <KK> Rita, she's adorable.
[16:31] <JastaElf> Well, I'm glad we're commemorating Isadora tho.
What a grand and pretty girl...
[16:31] <Wrengl> hi katherine
[16:31] <Mistyck> yes, I think it was rather interesting I got a phone
call yesterday about the kitten giveaway I'd called about 2 weeks ago
[16:31] <Wrengl> howdy jasta
[16:31] <JastaElf> Ah, Pat's back!
[16:31] <The_Cat_Whisperer> greetings from IDAHO, not Iowa, Indiana,
Illinois, South Dakota, Arizona, Oklahoma, or Ireland!
[16:31] * Annie has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:31] <DeryniBot> Welcome Annie to all things Katherine Kurtz
[16:31] <Mistyck> thanks Katherine
[16:31] <Shiral1> Hi Annie
[16:31] <RainbowDragon> Hi, Annie
[16:31] <Annie> hiya all
[16:31] <Wrengl> i have been peeling shrimp for a scampi for dinner
[16:31] * JastaElf begs at Wrengl for some of that shrimp...
[16:31] <KK> Don't let Martine's kitty know.
[16:31] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, Annie
[16:32] <Shiral1> Mmmm, sure sounds good. When's dinner, Pat?
[16:32] * Wrengl hands jasta a plate of shrimp scampi with whole wheat
spaghetti
[16:32] <Annie> I've been sitting for ages thinking it was dead quiet
tonight and I'd been dumped off ages ago :-(
[16:32] <the_Bee> is the scamp named thumper or madam?
[16:32] <JastaElf> Give me mine before you put the garlic on tho...
[16:32] <Wrengl> wb annie
[16:32] <Shiral1> How has your week been, Katherine?
[16:32] <KK> I'll take her garlic.
[16:32] <JastaElf> LOL!
[16:32] <Wrengl> jasta, my laptop arrived!
[16:32] <Mistyck> hi Annie
[16:32] <Annie> thanx dunno when I lost you!
[16:32] * JastaElf gives KK all my garlic forever
[16:32] <Wrengl> lol
[16:32] <KK> Actually got half a dozen pages written this week, in
between building duties.
[16:32] <JastaElf> What'd you get, Pat?
[16:33] <Shiral1> Excellent news
[16:33] <Mistyck> cool, Katherine!
[16:33] <Wrengl> garlic is good for you jasta
[16:33] <RainbowDragon> Good news, KK
[16:33] <Mistyck> yep yep
[16:33] <Wrengl> a compaq presario
[16:33] * the_Bee wonders if katherine and scott are infested with
vampires
[16:33] <KK> Ah, that's what my laptop is.
[16:33] <Shiral1> Do you have new windows, KK?
[16:33] * Olympia has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:33] <DeryniBot> Hey Olympia - Welcome to the Deryni Destinations
chat!
[16:33] <JastaElf> I know it is, wrengl, but if I do anything more
than a teensy bit I keel over and can't breathe. :-)
[16:33] <Mistyck> hi Nancy!
[16:33] <The_Cat_Whisperer> LOL at bee!
[16:33] <JastaElf> Hi Olympia!
[16:33] <Olympia> Hi ther all
[16:33] <Shiral1> Hi Olympia
[16:33] <Olympia> uh there
[16:33] <Wrengl> ah
[16:33] <KK> Holybrooke does look like it should have vampires. We've
had bats, in the past.
[16:33] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, Olympia
[16:33] <Mistyck> yes it does!
[16:33] <Annie> hi Olympia
[16:33] <Olympia> Only cute vamps please
[16:33] <Wrengl> allergies are yucky, especially food ones
[16:34] <Olympia> Like Frank Langella when he was young :)
[16:34] <Olympia> ok even now
[16:34] <Wrengl> hi olympia
[16:34] <the_Bee> glad you made it, Olympia
[16:34] <Olympia> or Rufus Sewell :)
[16:34] <Mistyck> very true...we can't have anything happen to KK and
Scott
[16:34] <Shiral1> Well, Katherine, I didn't want to SAY anything while
I was there, but I did keep a bit of garlic on hand =o)
[16:34] <JastaElf> Oh yeah, Olympia, you said it!
[16:34] <Olympia> The vamps won't get them
[16:34] * ethan has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:34] <DeryniBot> Welcome ethan to all things Katherine Kurtz
[16:34] <Wrengl> Nick Knight is a cute vampire
[16:34] * JastaElf drools over young Langella pics
[16:34] <Olympia> The Baron 'n Baroness are under my protection
[16:34] <Shiral1> Hooray for Rufus!
[16:34] <Mistyck> hi Ethan
[16:34] <KK> Yay, Olympia. And Sharon, are you feeling less feak and
weeble?
[16:34] <Wrengl> hi ethan
[16:34] <JastaElf> Uh. No, fraid not. :-(
[16:34] <TerryOBrien> I didn't think Holybrooke to be that gothic,
Katherine. Needs a tower to be gothic enough for vampires.
[16:34] <the_Bee> hello ethan
[16:34] <ethan> hi everybody
[16:34] <JastaElf> In fact feeling rather like crap tonight, I fear.
[16:34] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, Ethan!
[16:34] <Annie> hi ethan
[16:35] <Olympia> Bah. Vamps like their comfort :) no cold drafty
towers
[16:35] <Mistyck> that's right
[16:35] <RainbowDragon> Hi, ethan
[16:35] <KK> But, we've got big gothic windows and a dark, spooky
great hall....
[16:35] <Dov> Please, bats are cute, vampires are manipulating
monsters.
[16:35] <Wrengl> that's not nice jasta
[16:35] <Olympia> eek! Bats bite :(
[16:35] <ethan> Hello, hello and hello
[16:35] <JastaElf> If I have to be a vampire I wanna be one at KK's
house... :-)
[16:35] <KK> And we're now referring to the space above the landing
room as the tower suite.
[16:35] <Mistyck> lol!
[16:35] <Olympia> (I'm going to try to log on again through the other
MIRC - Bynw if I invoke your name will it work better?)
[16:35] <Olympia> be right back... I hope
[16:36] <Bynw> LOL
[16:36] * Olympia Quit
[16:36] <Mistyck> uh oh, definitely time for some cute and good
vampires, kinda like the Templars in Scott's books
[16:36] <KK> Is that an unsubtle hint?
[16:36] <Shiral1> Cute Vampires??? can't see it, myself
[16:36] <Wrengl> i'll still take Nick
[16:36] <Mistyck> lol
[16:36] <TerryOBrien> How can a great hall be spooky with those four
big stained glass windows? I thought it was bright and majestic.
[16:36] <Mistyck> it really wasn't Katherine, but it would be nice to
read book 3 :-D
[16:36] <Shiral1> It is, but it is still a bit spooky, too
[16:37] <the_Bee> anyone recall a tv show called "Forever Knight"? a
good vampire police officer
[16:37] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Ethan, any luck finding KK fans in Oregon?
[16:37] <Mistyck> yep
[16:37] <ethan> yeah
[16:37] <JastaElf> Bee that was a great show.
[16:37] <Dov> Yes, bee.
[16:37] <Wrengl> yeah
[16:37] <ethan> still looking and trying to convert new ones
[16:37] <Wrengl> that is who i was referring to Bee
[16:37] <KK> Terry, you must've been here on a sunny day.
[16:37] <Wrengl> Nick Knight
[16:37] * Nancy has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:37] <DeryniBot> Chocolate and Cats, just a few of our favorite
things here Nancy
[16:37] <TerryOBrien> I remember it. I used Nick for a RP game once,
and got thanked by the player because he was such a great fan of the
show.
[16:37] <Nancy> AHA
[16:37] <Shiral1> Hello Nancy.=o)
[16:37] <Mistyck> wb Nancy
[16:37] <Annie> Hi Nancy
[16:38] <Dov> Raeburn and Hubert McInnis are monstrous enough for me.
[16:38] <the_Bee> warner brothers, nancy
[16:38] <RainbowDragon> LOL, see Nancy's greeting :-)
[16:38] <ethan> hi Nancy
[16:38] <Wrengl> wb nancy
[16:38] <TerryOBrien> I think it was pretty sunny then. I take it,
then, that the character of the hall changes when the sun goes down?
[16:38] <Nancy> So, hello everyone! Long time no see - hugs to all
[16:38] <JastaElf> Hi Nancy!
[16:38] <KK> Absolutely.
[16:38] * Bynw hugs Nancy back
[16:38] * Shiral1 sets out a tea tray
[16:39] <Nancy> Gentle hugs to Jasta 'n Shiral
[16:39] * ethan remebers his manners and humbly says good evening
Katherine
[16:39] * Wrengl hugs nancy
[16:39] * Shiral sets out a better one
[16:39] * JastaElf puts out the chocolate chip ice cream and sundae
fixin's.
[16:39] <Shiral1> Both of me hug you back, Nancy
[16:39] <JastaElf> :-) Thanks Nancy!
[16:39] * Mistyck is hoping Nancy will be in Houston one of these days
[16:39] * KK helps herself to the chocolate chip ice cream!
[16:39] <Wrengl> i just noticed you have a doppleganger, shiral
[16:39] <Nancy> Sadly, no time soon, I'm afraid.
[16:39] <Mistyck> ;(
[16:40] <Nancy> I'm going to New Hampshire for Easter, tho
[16:40] * Dov sets out a plate of chocolate chip cookies and a big
pitcher of milk.
[16:40] <Mistyck> not even if I tempt you with homemade Indian food?
[16:40] <Shiral1> I'm beside myself, Pat =o)
[16:40] <Nancy> (and hi to everyone I haven't met before)
[16:40] <Nancy> I wish, Rita, but no time!
[16:40] * RainbowDragon sings to Shiral - "Are you cLonesome
tonight..."
[16:40] <Wrengl> lol shiral
[16:40] <JastaElf> LOL RD!
[16:40] <Annie> hi Nancy, don't think we've met - I'm a newbie
[16:40] * Debbie-VB has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:40] <DeryniBot> Chocolate and Cats, just a few of our favorite
things here Debbie-VB
[16:40] * Bynw makes sure there is plenty of Pepsi and other pop

[16:40] <Wrengl> lol rd
[16:40] <Bynw> Hiyas VB
[16:40] * Mistyck puts out a plateful of Baklava and a plateful of
Carrot Halva
[16:40] <Shiral1> Hi VB
[16:40] <Nancy> Wrengl dear, sooo nice to see you!!!! :) Diet Coke
for me please
[16:40] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, debbie
[16:40] <KK> So, Rita, is Evaine helping you type tonight, or is she
zonked out, as kittens are wont to do?
[16:40] <Mistyck> hi Debbie
[16:40] <Nancy> Hi Annie and Ethan
[16:40] <Wrengl> hi vb
[16:40] <Debbie-VB> Hi all
[16:41] * Annie likes baklava - yum
[16:41] <KK> Hi, VB!
[16:41] <Mistyck> she helped me type earlier, now she's zonked under
my chair
[16:41] <the_Bee> hiya Debbie!
[16:41] * ethan sets out a plate of fry bread and honey
[16:41] <Nancy> Talking about asthma, you all should have seen me 'n
the gimpy-yet-again Miss Ann in Las Vegas!
[16:41] <KK> That's kittens for you.
[16:41] <Nancy> We had enough stuff in our hotel room to open a small
pharmacy!
[16:41] <JastaElf> What happened to Ann??
[16:41] <KK> What happened to Ms. Gimp?
[16:41] <Annie> oh oh, have I gone again?
[16:41] * Wrengl takes some fry bread and uses her sugar free honey on
it
[16:41] <Annie> no, that's ok!
[16:41] <Nancy> Oh the usual - time for a convention/trade show and
the horse fell on her
[16:41] <JastaElf> OUCH!!
[16:42] <Nancy> So she had a crutch and I played lady in waiting :)
[16:42] <Shiral1> It's getting to be a thing, for Ann
[16:42] <KK> Good Lord, that woman has the worst luck with equines....
[16:42] <Wrengl> yow!
[16:42] <Dov> *sigh*
[16:42] <Bynw> Annie, a different Ann ... goes by the nick of
Ghostgames in chat
[16:42] <Wrengl> how is she nancy
[16:42] * KK wonders how one can have suger-free honey....
[16:42] <Nancy> There was this wee little patch of ice... and the
horse slipped and went down... on her ankle
[16:42] <JastaElf> I'm gonna send her a Breyer horse and tell her to
have it symbolically fall on her. Maybe that'll break the curse. :-)
[16:42] <Bynw> sugar free honey??
[16:42] <Annie> ok, not had a horse fall on me, so I figured it wasn't
me
[16:42] * Debbie-VB winces in sympathetic pain for ann
[16:42] <Nancy> I have a plan to break the curse :)
[16:42] <Bynw> is that POSSIBLE?
[16:42] <Nancy> Katherine, Jim is having surgery tomorrow, speaking of
curses.
[16:42] <Wrengl> yes, bynw
[16:43] <Nancy> Yes it is possible :)
[16:43] <KK> Shoulder?
[16:43] <Shiral1> I've had a horse step on my foot, but not FALL on me
[16:43] <Wrengl> it is a syrup that tastes like honey but has no sugar
in it
[16:43] <The_Cat_Whisperer> What's your plan, Nancy?
[16:43] <JastaElf> What's the plan for breaking the curse, Nancy?
[16:43] <Annie> had a taxi run over my foot
[16:43] <Nancy> I have Torenthi powers - no leg - he fell at an SCA
event at night, tore the tendon from the patella
[16:43] * JastaElf sends Jim best wishes for his surgery
[16:43] <Shiral1> Poor Jim is in Bad shape. I've told him not to break
anything above the waist
[16:43] <Nancy> eeek! Annie!
[16:43] <KK> Ow!
[16:43] <JastaElf> Ouch, poor Jim!!!
[16:43] <the_Bee> Nancy: hope Jin's surgery goes well
[16:43] <Wrengl> healing woodgies to jim
[16:43] <Nancy> So he's in a cast on the right leg and a brace on the
left. But there's good news, Susan (his wife) is going to be on Food
TV Network!
[16:44] <Shiral1> He and I chatted on AIM last week. A trip to the
bathroom is a major hike for him.
[16:44] <Mistyck> owww about Ann and Annie
[16:44] <KK> Ouch, Annie. My mother had the same thing happen to her
several years ago--plain car rather than a tazi.
[16:44] <Annie> waiting to cross - mounted the kerb. All hubby could
say was "did you get his number" as I hopped around and swore a lot
[16:44] <Nancy> Yeah, it was pretty pathetic last Friday night - a
bunch of us took treats 'n dinner to them
[16:44] <Mistyck> Ryan let Chance down, so, got busy with Evaine in my
arms
[16:44] <Wrengl> what is she on food tv?
[16:44] <Wrengl> what show?
[16:45] * Debbie-VB wonders if that show will make it into the
canadian food network
[16:45] <Nancy> She is being interviewed on a show about people who do
cooking (can't remember the name) - she will be talking about the
history of cornish pasties (that's passss-tees - the food)
[16:45] <The_Cat_Whisperer> *sends healing woodgies to Jim*
[16:45] <Nancy> people as in non-pro's
[16:45] <Wrengl> oh neat!
[16:45] <Shiral1> Become a pro, lose your person status???
[16:45] * JastaElf drools at the mention of pasties... I love those!!
[16:45] <Nancy> LOL! Well, Susan is a FANTASTIC cook!
[16:45] <Debbie-VB> so do I Jasta
[16:46] <Wrengl> i want to make some of them
[16:46] <Nancy> (as is Jim - his specialty is desserts)
[16:46] <Wrengl> may even do so for darkover this year
[16:46] <Shiral1> We've GOT to get that man back on his feet, then =o)
[16:46] <JastaElf> I have a grand receipt for pasties.
[16:46] <Wrengl> share?
[16:46] <Nancy> Well, he is creating a sigil for me and then once we
have the graphics all worked out, I'll post it on my website. :)
[16:46] <Wrengl> neat
[16:46] <JastaElf> Coolness!
[16:47] <Debbie-VB> I'd love that recipe Jasta (hint,hint)
[16:47] <Dov> Wrengl, can you eat dates?
[16:47] <Wrengl> me too
[16:47] <Shiral1> Cool, Nancy
[16:47] <Shiral1> =o)
[16:47] <Wrengl> yes i can dov
[16:47] <Wrengl> like 2 and a half!
[16:47] <Mistyck> Debbie, I don't think you know yet, but I am now a
member of the "Owned by her cat" family
[16:47] <JastaElf> VB, I'll dig it up tonight and send it. What's
your e-mail?
[16:47] <the_Bee> especially if they're verra handsome :)
[16:47] <Wrengl> or i can and do use them in baking
[16:47] <Dov> Because I know you can make syrup from them.
[16:47] <RainbowDragon> KK, did you ever come up with that recipe page
for Deryni Destinations?
[16:47] * KK Quit (User has been mind-ripped)
[16:47] <Nancy> Steve Kenson's partner Christopher (who is a
shaman/healer) talked to us about it. Chris is AWESOME and told us
very funny stories about the bi-annual New Age national trade show.
Makes s/f cons look normal!
[16:47] <Mistyck> eek
[16:47] <Bynw> ack!
[16:48] <Shiral1> NOO!!!!
[16:48] <ethan> omg not KK
[16:48] <JastaElf> Oh no, Peer strikes back!
[16:48] <JastaElf> Thanks VB!
[16:48] <Shiral1> I finally get into chat when she's here. DAMN peer!
[16:48] <Nancy> Reaching for the riding crop and heading for the Peer
[16:48] * Wrengl reaches into her ammunition chest, removes an eel and
beats peer soundly with it
[16:48] <Nancy> (and not in a good way)
[16:48] * Mistyck forcefeeds double doses of merasha to Peer and then
handcuffs him and hauls him off to jail
[16:48] * the_Bee rallies her swarm to go after peer in full force
[16:48] * Debbie-VB pelts peer with a plateload of fresh purple peeps
(Wrong season for petrified ones)
[16:48] <Nancy> Ooo petrified peeps! yummmm
[16:48] * Wrengl removes the bullwhip from her belt, pulls her
Indiana Jones fedora down firmly on her head, then whips peer from one
end of the room to the next
[16:48] * ethan orders peer to be keelhauled
[16:48] <TerryOBrien> SF Cons ARE normal when compared to most any
other convention.
[16:49] <JastaElf> VB have you ever put a peep on a paper plate and
nuked it in a microwave? VERY funny results... :-)
[16:49] <Wrengl> indeed they are
[16:49] <Nancy> LOL
[16:49] <Annie> ever done microwave s'mores? They are funny too.
[16:49] <Mistyck> here she comes again
[16:49] <Debbie-VB> I usually use them as a topping for hot chocolate
[16:49] <Nancy> Chris told us there are people who come up and say
"Would you like me to heal the hole in your aura?" - normal response
"Gosh thanks but I worked really hard to put it there!)
[16:49] * KK has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:49] <DeryniBot> Welcome KK to all things Katherine Kurtz
[16:49] <Mistyck> welcome back Katherine
[16:49] * KIK has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:49] <DeryniBot> Chocolate and Cats, just a few of our favorite
things here KIK
[16:49] <Annie> wb KK
[16:49] <Shiral1> Hello again, Katherine
[16:49] <RainbowDragon> welcome back, KK
[16:49] <The_Cat_Whisperer> *dribbles tuna juice on Peer and whispers
to her feline minions, who come and give Peer a real licking*
[16:49] <Nancy> offers Katherine a soft velvet cushion
[16:49] <Mistyck> Peer has been dutifully chastisted now
[16:50] <ethan> yippeee
[16:50] <TerryOBrien> Just ask hotel management how they deal with
Shriners or LEO conventions. I have it on good authority that they
prefer SF cons to a lot of other conventions.
[16:50] <Wrengl> wb kk
[16:50] <Bynw> wb KK and KIK
[16:50] * ethan does a happy dance
[16:50] <Shiral1> I wish I remembered if I had a question for you
today, KK
[16:50] <the_Bee> peer has been severely chastised
[16:50] <Nancy> I'll bet, Terry. Esp LEOs!
[16:50] <KIK> Well, that was exciting. I installed a fire wall today,
and I don't think it likes chat.
[16:50] <Shiral1> But my mind is a little bit blank
[16:50] <Nancy> (and for those who don't know that's Law Enforcement
Officers)
[16:50] <Shiral1> Hey, Katherine, now YOU have a twin, too! =o)
[16:51] <Shiral> Congratulations from Us both =o)
[16:51] <Wrengl> i had that problem with chat and my firewall
katherine
[16:51] <KIK> I'm not sure how that happened, but they're both me.
[16:51] <the_Bee> i was triplets once
[16:51] <Debbie-VB> which firewall did you use Katherine?
[16:51] <Bynw> 2 is better than none
[16:51] <Nancy> Katherine, I was at the GAMA trade show (Game
Manufacturers) and this guy walks up to the table and I look at his
name tag and the name is so familiar... it was Andrew's squire Steen
but much older!!!
[16:51] <KIK> I downloaded the Norton one for a free trial.
[16:51] <Bynw> norton=evil
[16:52] <TerryOBrien> The New Orleans WorldCon was nestled between a
Baptist Missions conference and a national Narcotics Officers
convnetion. Just looking at the other attendees, I knew the hotels
were just asking for trouble.
[16:52] <Nancy> McAfee worse and their techs are IDIOTS
[16:52] <KIK> Well, that's what my antivirus softward is, so it seemed
logical.
[16:52] <Wrengl> i have nortan
[16:52] <ethan> nah Bynw Norton = temperamental
[16:52] <Bynw> zone alarm
[16:52] <Mistyck> hey, now, when ya'll talk about LEOs and Narcotics
Officers, I resemble those comments!
[16:52] <Nancy> I spent over an hour with McAfee yesterday - had to
tell my sad tale THREE TIMES -
[16:52] <JastaElf> Terry, I would have loved to be there just out of
principle! LOL!
[16:52] <Debbie-VB> well bynw, the anti-virus is pretty good. it
recently caught about 10 virii trying to get into my computer
[16:52] <Bynw> well i dont like anything by norton, its all bloatware
[16:52] <TerryOBrien> I use AVG Anti-virus software. Had Norton for
over a decade, finally gave up on Norton when I went to Windows XP.
[16:52] <Nancy> Hey, Rita, one of my dearest friends in a ret Colonel
AND an LEO but a whole convention of 'em?
[16:53] <Nancy> I have AVG and Norton and ZA :)
[16:53] <Nancy> One condom good - three better!
[16:53] <the_Bee> AVG and Stopsign
[16:53] <Shiral1> yes, but can one move with three? =o)
[16:53] <Wrengl> millenium pholcon was in same convention center as a
baptist group
[16:53] <Bynw> TerryOBrien, i use AVG for antivirus and zone alarm for
a firewall ... have for years
[16:53] <TerryOBrien> Jasta: pound for pound, person for person, the
missions conference was even more overweight than fandom.
[16:53] <Nancy> and Spybot
[16:53] <Mistyck> I've been to several conventions...they can be fun
if you can relate to them
[16:53] <KIK> I suppose I really need a lesson on what one is actually
supposed to do.
[16:53] <Mistyck> Zone Alarm for a free firewall, excellent
[16:53] <Nancy> missions?
[16:53] <KIK> I just know one should have one.
[16:53] <JastaElf> LOL! All those church suppers, Terry!

[16:54] <Bynw> i have a spybot seek and destroy
[16:54] <Debbie-VB> I've used ZA pro for a while now. I've had no
problems with it, and it seems to get along very well with norton
[16:54] <Wrengl> it and the masquerade ended at the same time
[16:54] <Martine> My Goodness! Someone finally succeeded in cloning
her!
[16:54] <TerryOBrien> Its a Transfer Portal error. Just like the Star
Trek episode.

[16:55] <Mistyck> hi Martine!
[16:55] <Annie> I'm sure you're trying to get a new record for
chatters, but isn't this cheating somewhat? ;-)
[16:55] <Nancy> Martine Melissa and I have had NO evil affect on
Katherine, nope not us.
[16:55] <TerryOBrien> Wrengl, we has a Bar Mitvah scheduled at a
Windycon several years ago. Then there was the softball tournament in
the same hotel as one MediaWest.
[16:55] <Wrengl> hi martine

[16:56] <Shiral> No no! Not us!
[16:56] <Martine> Shiral's never evil. No more than I am, at least <g>
[16:56] <Nancy> Anyhow, it's all Sedina's fault. She's the one who is
truly evil ::always nominate the one who isn't here!::
[16:56] <Wrengl> do you still go there?
[16:56] <Debbie-VB> Shiral is a good little girlie
[16:56] <TerryOBrien> Do you still do MW, Wrengl?
[16:56] <Nancy> And I am a Very Good Girl :)
[16:56] <Shiral1> And alas, both of us will soon have to shuffle off
[16:56] <Wrengl> i have not made it in years
[16:56] <Shiral1> LOL Nancy!
[16:56] <JastaElf> I LOVED mediawestcon.
[16:56] <Shiral1> Of COURSE you are!!
[16:56] * Martine raises her hand and seconds Nancy re: Sedina
[16:56] <Mistyck> heehee
[16:56] * JastaElf pouts to see Shiral preparing to depart...
[16:56] <Mistyck> poor Sedina!
[16:56] <Wrengl> not since someone stole Hern Lord of the Beers from
outside our room
[16:56] <Bynw> yes sedina is evil
[16:56] * Martine pouts too
[16:56] <Debbie-VB> have a good day shiral
[16:57] * Bynw will agree to that

signing off, now
[16:58] <JastaElf> Hi Samuel!
[16:58] <TerryOBrien> I've been attending MW for about 20 years now.
I've gotten to know Lori and Gordon a little.
[16:58] <Martine> Oh my. Twins spawning everywhere.
[16:58] <RainbowDragon> Hi, Sam
[16:58] <KIK> Hello, Sam!
[16:58] <Wrengl> hi sam
[16:58] <JastaElf> Night hon!
[16:58] <Shiral> Don't know who that imposter was!
[16:58] <Nancy> So other than Katherine, Ann (Ghostgames), and Miss
Martini, who else will be at Worldcon in Boston?
[16:58] <Martine> Hi Sam!
[16:58] <Samuel> Hello All
[16:58] <Annie> hi Samuel
[16:59] <JastaElf> Nancy, I will be there!
[16:59] <Nancy> Hola, Samuel
[16:59] <Wrengl> me
[16:59] <Nancy> Kewl!
[16:59] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, sam
[16:59] <Wrengl> hopefully kathi
[16:59] <Shiral> Night Jasta, Katherine, Nancy, Martine etc etc! I'll
be back again
[16:59] <Dov> Hi Samuel
[16:59] * Shiral has left #Deryni_Destinations
[16:59] <JastaElf> Getting a room and having a party! :-)
[16:59] <Mistyck> hi Sam
[16:59] <ethan> Hi Sam
[16:59] <the_Bee> I hope so. deciding if I can afford worldcon AND
darkover
[16:59] <Mistyck> Nancy, I'm planning on being there
[16:59] * Debbie-VB pouts, I'm not even going to be able to make it to
Darkover this year
[16:59] <Wrengl> my friend Juanita Salicrup who introduced me to the
Deryni lo these many years ago
[16:59] <Martine> I really hope Pan stays around a bit. He's been
really sick too, even though he's responding well to medication.
[16:59] <Wrengl> well worldcon is close to you bee
[16:59] <The_Cat_Whisperer> The Katherines are leaving?
[16:59] <Nancy> I don't think I can make it to Darkover either - not
sure - that part of the year is a tad confoozled at the moment
[17:00] <Bynw> Nancy, are you gonna be at GenCon?
[17:00] <JastaElf> Oh, Martine, you're so right... if she lost Pan
right after, that would be SO devastating!!
[17:00] <Nancy> YES
[17:00] <Wrengl> coming to worldcon nancy?
[17:00] <Mistyck> awww, we have to have Nancy at Darkover!
[17:00] <Bynw> Ok, we will definately meet up then at some point
[17:00] <Nancy> Yes to Gencon (definitely) and yes to Worldcon
(definitely) - Origins is up in the air
[17:00] <Debbie-VB> it's going to take my bank account at least two
years to recover from my first one.
[17:00] <Martine> It wasn't long ago that it was Pan who was touch and
go, and Izzy was just fine. if Pan takes a turn for the worse, poor
Melissa will be a real mess.
[17:00] <Mistyck> yes, Martine...I'm definitely praying for both
Shiral and Pan
[17:01] <Wrengl> indeed
[17:01] <JastaElf> Shiral told me yesterday that Pan's responding well
to his meds tho
[17:01] * Bynw will just find the 7th Sea weirdo's
[17:01] <The_Cat_Whisperer> *sends healing woodgies to Pan*
[17:01] <Martine> She told me the same. He better KEEP responding. ;-)
[17:01] <JastaElf> That's for sure.
[17:01] <Wrengl> she toldd me that also
[17:01] <Nancy> I still think Melissa should move to the East Coast
near Ann - we have been talking about this (mostly as a fantasy) about
all of us getting farms - but Ann has to have the cows - I am not
doing milk extrusion from them!
[17:01] <JastaElf> But I'm sure God will send just the right needy
kitty to her soon. :-)
[17:01] <TerryOBrien> I have to hit Origins and Gencon this year, but
I may have to support WorldCon instead of attending. Want to vote for
site selection.
[17:02] <Martine> LOL, Nancy!
[17:02] <Mistyck> I just feel a bit guilty about getting Evaine
yesterday...hope Pan gets well soon
[17:02] * the_Bee broadcasts Healing woodgies to all cats, dogs,
horses andother beloved fur-folk
[17:02] <Martine> I'll move up and play with the horsies <g>
[17:02] <JastaElf> Ann's in Massachusetts, isn't she?
[17:02] <Martine> How's Evaine doing, Mistyck?
[17:02] <Nancy> Yes, Jasta
[17:02] <JastaElf> If she is, I'm SO there....
[17:02] <JastaElf> Woo-HOOO! :-)
[17:02] <KIK> She should get a pair of kittens. They'll be company
for one another, and give Pan a new lease on life.
[17:02] <Wrengl> yes jasta she is in MA
[17:02] * JastaElf is FROM Mass. ....
[17:02] <Nancy> I keep thinking about a big enclave of farms - but
MINE will NOT have cows.
[17:02] <JastaElf> Coolies!
[17:02] <Wrengl> true KIK
[17:02] <Nancy> or chickens or sheep. Just one horse for the buggy
[17:02] <Martine> I think her landlord is a problem with that,
katherine. No new pets allowed in the building.
[17:02] <JastaElf> I'll buy into the enclave, Nancy!
[17:02] <Wrengl> she got isadora and pan at the same time
[17:03] <Martine> They changed the pet rules, darn them.
[17:03] <Debbie-VB> I so know hot that feels
[17:03] <KIK> THen she needs to move!
[17:03] <Martine> Agreed!
[17:03] <Wrengl> indeed
[17:03] <Martine> I know the perfect kitty at my city shelter, too...
[17:03] <Nancy> See, if Melissa goes East, she can work with Ann...
and have lotsa pets.
[17:03] <Mistyck> Martine, she's fine, she's sleeping on the computer
desk right now
[17:03] <JastaElf> LOL! Perfect!
[17:03] <Wrengl> yes
[17:03] <Martine> The one John won't let me have now, but at least he
FINALLY told me why! ANd he's right, darn evil man.
[17:03] <Wrengl> she could even have the golden one
[17:04] <the_Bee> Melissa was talking about getting a new kitten
[17:04] <Debbie-VB> artine. My building doesn't allow pets. they
used to and there are several fur-kids living here from long-time
tenants, but Me? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[17:04] <Nancy> No pets for me - allergic to cats and no time to care
for a puppy
[17:04] <Wrengl> fish?
[17:04] <the_Bee> no pets allowed her either :o[
[17:04] <Annie> house rabbit?
[17:04] <Wrengl> catfish are fun to watch
[17:04] <Nancy> GEH no fish.
[17:04] <Debbie-VB> it's kind of hard to pet a fish though
[17:04] <Nancy> no fish. no fish.
[17:04] <Martine> LOL! Two fish! Name them "Sushi" and "Fillet"! <g>
[17:04] <Wrengl> true
[17:04] <Nancy> no birds. no fish.
[17:05] <Mistyck> lol
[17:05] <JastaElf> How about one f those butt-ugly hairless Sphinx
cats, Nancy?
[17:05] <Wrengl> lol martine
[17:05] <Nancy> (ex husband had fish - remember, Katherine?)
[17:05] <Nancy> No cats.
[17:05] <Wrengl> or sushi and sashimi
[17:05] <Nancy> I can barely take care of myself!
[17:05] <Samuel> I'd like a couple birds. A falcon and an Owl.
[17:05] <Nancy> No birds.
[17:05] <Mistyck> lol
[17:05] <JastaElf> Oh Sam, I'm there with you on that!
[17:05] <KIK> Yuck! Nancy and I know someone who has a pair of
those--though I don't think she's ever seen them.
[17:05] <Nancy> I did see a lovely garden adornment today. A beautiful
Chinese bowl with two METAL koi in it!
[17:05] <Mistyck> Nancy doesn't want her birds repeating her words to
anyone else!
[17:06] <Nancy> Nope. Nancy is afraid of birds.
[17:06] <Nancy> and snakes.
[17:06] <Wrengl> lol
[17:06] <Martine> Would this be in the Frontgate catalog, nancy? DID I
MISS THAT???
[17:06] <Annie> and rabbits?
[17:06] <Wrengl> no snakes here
[17:06] <Nancy> Uh yes you did, Martine
[17:06] <Nancy> NO RABBITS. they are mean!
[17:06] <Annie> what about rabbits?
[17:06] <Wrengl> made kathi give hers away and it died
[17:06] <Wrengl> she has not let me forget that either
[17:06] <Martine> LOL, Pat. We seem to have acquired two snakes this
morning! They moved in to our side stairs.
[17:06] <Dov> I know they're beautiful, Samuel, but birds of prey are
a huge responsibility.
[17:06] * Debbie-VB has absolutely no fear of snakes, except the
venomous kind
[17:06] <Mistyck> eek, Martine!
[17:06] <Annie> yup, we had a rabbit and it gave the german shepherd a
rotten life
[17:06] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Cute kitty, Martine. Looks like mine
[17:06] <Samuel> Oh, if I had my birds.... I'd almost have to have a
rabbit or two....
[17:07] <Wrengl> i agree with Indiana Jones on snakes
[17:07] <Martine> It's not that bad, Mistyck. I grew up with LOTS of
snakes in the yard. I just pick 'em up and move them when I need to.
[17:07] <Nancy> Bah. Don't want a pet of anything that might appear on
my plate. Which is why any cow I owe would have to be named Hamburger
[17:07] <Nancy> or Rib Eye
[17:07] <Nancy> or TriTip
[17:07] <Martine> LOL, Nancy!
[17:07] <Martine> Mignon
[17:07] <JastaElf> LOL, ancy! I agree...
[17:07] <the_Bee> potroast
[17:07] <Samuel> Dov: birds of prey take a 4 year aprintiship course
under a master falconer and a federal lisence that costa about $500
[17:07] <TerryOBrien> I don't mind snakes. Just don't care for
anything with more than the limit of four legs.
[17:07] <Martine> Stewie
[17:07] <JastaElf> Can't eat a whole fish either, don't want my food
watching me.
[17:07] <Wrengl> lol
[17:07] <Mistyck> I hate snakes
[17:08] <TerryOBrien> Seafood excepted, of course.
[17:08] <Nancy> Me neither, Jasta.
[17:08] <Samuel> I've been looking into getting the lisence for about
15 years.
[17:08] <the_Bee> jasta: I feel the wame way
[17:08] * Mistyck doesn't like fish period
[17:08] <Debbie-VB> LOL Jasta.
[17:08] <Nancy> That's the nice thing about tofu. It never talked in a
former life.
[17:08] <Martine> Agreed, Jasta. At least chop off the head and tail
before I see it!
[17:08] <Mistyck> very true
[17:08] <JastaElf> LOL, Nancy!!
[17:08] <Dov> That's exactly what I had in mind, Samuel.
[17:08] * Kiri` has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:08] <DeryniBot> Chocolate and Cats, just a few of our favorite
things here Kiri`

[17:08] <Debbie-VB> Hi Kiri
[17:08] <Kiri`> hello *waves*
[17:08] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, Kiri'
[17:08] <Samuel> I just don't have the time or land to care for a pet
(any pet) right now.
[17:08] <Martine> Did somebody say..... Chocolate???
[17:08] <KIK> Kiri! Haven't seen yo here in a while.
[17:09] <Bynw> Hi Kiri`
[17:09] <Kiri`> Katherine - no.. been dealing with my back and a
crabby laptop =)
[17:09] <The_Cat_Whisperer> *sets out mugs of hot chocolate*
[17:09] <JastaElf> Oh dear! How's the back?
[17:09] <Martine> Omigosh! The shelter has a new calico! Melissa will
just need to get TWO new cats now. After she moves! <g>
[17:09] <Kiri`> Melissa is moving?
[17:09] <Mistyck> yes, she needs a Calico
[17:09] <Nancy> Sorry to hear about the laptop too. (I had a hard
drive crash last week - must be going around)
[17:09] <JastaElf> LOL! Now we just need to find her a job out
there...
[17:09] <Nancy> No, I keep saying that she should move to
Massachusetts
[17:09] <Martine> No, Kiri. We just think she needs to.
[17:10] <Martine> ;-)
[17:10] <JastaElf> We want to get Melissa to move East, yes.
[17:10] <Kiri`> Jasta - it's a long story. i had an epidural this
week that didn't go the way anyone planned.
[17:10] <JastaElf> Oh dear, hon!!! {{{huggles}}}
[17:10] <Kiri`> oh I want Melissa to stay.
[17:10] * Debbie-VB keeps thinking she should move closer to all of
you
[17:10] * the_Bee offers kiri a slice of gluten-free cake and ginger
ice cream
[17:10] <Nancy> eek! Kiri!
[17:10] <Mistyck> oh Kiri, huggles!
[17:10] <JastaElf> Then you move out here too!
[17:10] <Kiri`> and my motherboard died.
[17:10] <JastaElf> Oh uck...
[17:10] <Kiri`> that got replaced tuesday..
[17:10] <KIK> Poor Kiri!
[17:10] <KIK> BRB
[17:10] <Kiri`> so i'm just sorta starting to get things back together
[17:10] <Martine> Oh, fun!
[17:11] <Nancy> OK as soon as Jim has recuperated from surgery, he's
gotta get that sigil done so that we can all share it!
[17:11] <Kiri`> yes.. and to make it all nice.. my radiator needs
replacing.. so that's #3.. right? *crosses fingers*
[17:11] <Mistyck> cool, Nancy
[17:11] <the_Bee> huggls and healing woodgies, kiri
[17:11] <Nancy> We'll make it our healing sigil :)
[17:11] <Kiri`> I happen to have an extra Kitty..
[17:11] <Mistyck> Kiri, did you get my email?
[17:11] <Kiri`> I might part with to a Melissa type home. course
when she's ready..
[17:12] <Kiri`> mist - no. I .. erm wait *thinks* new calico
kitten?
[17:12] <JastaElf> She's still in a lot of pain about Isadora, but
she's not adverse to the concept.
[17:12] <Mistyck> yep yep
[17:12] <the_Bee> she needs time to grieve first
[17:12] <JastaElf> Definitely.
[17:12] <Kiri`> definately. I'll let her know when she's had time to
get over izzy.
[17:12] <Mistyck> yes, grieving is important for both Melissa and Pan
[17:12] <Debbie-VB> well Izzy is probably waiting right now at the
rainbow bridge
[17:12] * Kiri` is still upset over hearing about Izzy.
[17:12] <JastaElf> :-) With all our beloved departed cats...
[17:13] <JastaElf> Who probably tell tales to each other about us....
;-)
[17:13] <Kiri`> and dogs.. and rabbits horses.. erm.. frogs.
[17:13] <Martine> And my old parakeet.
[17:13] <Annie> and eels
[17:13] <ethan> woould that be cattails
[17:13] <Nancy> geh. no eels
[17:13] <Martine> I wonder if all the goldfish we all killed as kids
are waiting UNDER the bridge? <g>
[17:13] <Debbie-VB> EELS!?!?!?
[17:13] <Mistyck> and even fishes we accidently over-fed
[17:13] <Annie> on second thoughts lets not go there again
[17:13] <Nancy> I killed a turtle - who knew you couldn't use crayolas
on its back?
[17:13] <Kiri`> eels.. now there's one you don't hear everyday.
[17:13] <Annie> yes, I had a pet eel when I was about 5 (no, that's
going there again, isn't it)
[17:13] <Kiri`> i have a funny turtle story.
[17:13] <Martine> nancy! You colored a TURTLE?
[17:14] <Nancy> Well the shell was so bare...
[17:14] <Mistyck> lol!
[17:14] <Kiri`> oh poor turtle
[17:14] <Mistyck> I *CAN* see little Nancy doing that though!
[17:14] <the_Bee> they used to have painted turtles when i was a child
[17:14] <KIK> Augustus id now hlping me type.
[17:14] <Debbie-VB> what colour did you make it?
[17:14] <the_Bee> hello gus!
[17:14] <Debbie-VB> Hi Gus-cat
[17:14] <Martine> LOL! Hi Gus!
[17:14] <Mistyck> hi Gus
[17:14] <The_Cat_Whisperer> i used to put doll clothes on kittens
[17:15] <Martine> Oh well. My dad killed my parakeet by painting the
room it was kept in and laying new carpet. Without moving the
parakeet. Whoops!
[17:15] <Samuel> coloring a turtle..... that ranks right up there
with playing witht he honey jar..... and I can start seeing the story
already.....
[17:15] <the_Bee> my sister put lipstick on her tomcat
[17:15] <Debbie-VB> Our family cat used to get dressed quite regularly
too
[17:15] <Nancy> omigod, Martine!
[17:15] <Mistyck> big whoops!
[17:15] <Annie> my dad killed my eel
[17:15] <Nancy> Oi! the eel again
[17:15] <Martine> Little itty bitty Martine wondered why Snowball was
lying so still on the bottom of his cage the next day! <g>
[17:16] <Annie> sorry ;-)
[17:16] <Nancy> Alright time to change the entire subject
[17:16] <Kiri`> I had a terra cotta turtle in the bushes by my mom's
back door (for keys) and her landlord decided to make a patio
without telling anyone. I stopped by and opened the back door to find
this pit with him in it. I asked him. "where's my turtle?" he got
this look of utter horror.. cause he'd just finihsed using one of
those ground digger thingy to dig about 4 feet down.
[17:16] <Kiri`> it was priceless
[17:16] <Nancy> :)
[17:16] <KIK> Gus has discovered that vases of cut flowers are fun to
rub up against. And he has this lethal tail. I've averted disaaster
several times in the past few days.
[17:16] <ethan> CW, have you found any supporters for a NW convention?
[17:16] <KIK> h
[17:17] <Martine> LOL! Have Arwen and Gus been sharing tips lately?
[17:17] <Kiri`> Ann.. i think you'd better tell us about the eel.
[17:17] <Martine> They're up to the same tricks.
[17:17] <Annie> caught it on holiday in Scotland, brought home in a
bucket in the boot (trunk)
[17:18] <Kiri`> k
[17:18] <Annie> lived in an old sink, dad killed it by trying to
overwinter it in the coal cellar
[17:18] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Ethan, I know 1 other KK fan in Idaho
[17:18] <Kiri`> oh poor eel
[17:18] <Mistyck> Evaine has already discovered how to knock off the
remote from the table...I think she watched Chance do it with his tail
[17:18] <Martine> Whoops. Gotta watch for dads and odd pets.
[17:18] * Ghostgames has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:18] <DeryniBot> Hey Ghostgames - Welcome to the Deryni
Destinations chat!
[17:18] <Mistyck> hi Ann
[17:18] <Martine> Hi Ann!
[17:19] <Nancy> Aha! there she is, crutch 'n all
[17:19] <Debbie-VB> Hi Ann
[17:19] <Bynw> Hi Ann
[17:19] <TerryOBrien> Hiya Ann!
[17:19] <Martine> How's your ankle doing?
[17:19] <Ghostgames> Nah, no crutch, not anymore. :-)
[17:19] <the_Bee> chance: dog?
[17:19] <Mistyck> how are you doing?
[17:19] <KK> OK, what's this about horses falling on you?!
[17:19] <Mistyck> yes Bee
[17:19] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Hi, Ann
[17:19] <JastaElf> Hi Ann!
[17:19] <ethan> Hi Ann
[17:19] <Ghostgames> er, well, it seems to be a semi-annual thing...
:-)
[17:19] <Ghostgames> Either they fall on me, or I fall off them...
[17:19] <Mistyck> lol
[17:19] <Ghostgames> Sometimes both at the same time...
[17:19] <Martine> LOL! Break the cycle, silly!
[17:19] <Mistyck> good to hear about no crutches though
[17:19] <Kiri`> the Semi-Annual Horse fall..
[17:19] <Nancy> hmph. Not after you get a copy of the healing sigil!
(right after Jim has surgery, of course!)
[17:19] <Annie> lol
[17:20] <Debbie-VB> by any chance have you somehow displeased Equus?
[17:20] <ethan> CW, I've found 2 but neither is computorially
connected
[17:20] <the_Bee> we had a dog and cat when i was young. the kity
used to suck on the dog's teats
[17:20] <KK> I had one fall on my foot once, but the Western saddle
saved me from serious damage.
[17:20] <Martine> Ouch!
[17:20] <Ghostgames> y'know, I was painting the hallway (still fixing
the TERRIBLE job the "professional" painters did last August), and
something told me to log on... were you guys talking about me?!?
[17:20] * Andy_Hock is on IRC
[17:20] <Nancy> Um, there WAS than unfortunate incident with the rope,
Katherine..
[17:20] <the_Bee> yes
[17:20] <TerryOBrien> Say Ann, I finally have the awards video from
Origins back from being digitized. If you mail me your address, I'll
send you a copy, once I get it massaged down to an acceptable
performance.
[17:20] <Mistyck> Actually, Chance has been an angel around
Evaine...he won't even walk really close to her
[17:20] <Nancy> Me? talking about you? nuh-uh not me
[17:20] <KK> Er, that too.
[17:20] <Martine> We were talking about Worldcon and such. :-)
[17:20] <Martine> Rope?
[17:20] <Nancy> Yep.
[17:20] <Martine> Do tell <grin>
[17:20] <Nancy> NOt THAT kind of rope, Martine!
[17:20] <Nancy> sheesh
[17:21] * ethan has had several horses fall on, under and around him
in the past
[17:21] * Martine thwacks Nancy... BAD girl
[17:21] * JastaElf had a horse sit on her once when she was younger...
:-)
[17:21] <Ghostgames> Terry: my husband'll be happy to hear that!
What's your email addy?
[17:21] <Nancy> *I* tell you, I'm a GOOD girl!
[17:21] <TerryOBrien> (e-mail addy deleted to discourage spamming -
RD)
[17:21] <The_Cat_Whisperer> Ethan, how did you break the cycle?
[17:21] <ethan> retired from the rodeo
[17:21] <Mistyck> lol
[17:21] <Mistyck> that's one way of doing it
[17:21] <Martine> Uh-huh. You got your halo off the East Vetzsikian
black market, just like me Nancy.
[17:22] * JastaElf looks about innocently, fairly glowing with
sweetness and light.
[17:22] <TerryOBrien> My biggest problem is getting the resolution
right, so it doesn't look like its a bad dub.
[17:22] <Kiri`> Jasta - not buying it..
[17:22] * Debbie-VB .oO( staed away from horsies?)
[17:22] <Ghostgames> About WorldCon: Steve Jackson will be there, too.
Katherine: I made him promise to try to play in one of our Deryni
adventures. I thought about letting him play some of the villains with
you, and then thought better of it -- with "Evil Stevie" to bounce
ideas off of, the two of you would be even more unstoppable than you
and Martine were!
[17:22] <Bynw> i'm not buying that one ata ll Jasta ...
[17:22] * JastaElf hides her halo and collar, blushing and yet
grinning...
[17:22] <Ghostgames> With the exception of horse accidents, I /learn/
from my mistakes! <gr>
[17:22] <Martine> Thank goodness no horses have fallen on me yet. I
just fall off them! :-P
[17:22] <Mistyck> very true, Ann
[17:22] <TerryOBrien> Its a UNIX box. I've had problems with it, but
I've had it for so long that I really don't want to change it.
[17:22] <JastaElf> LOL! Aww, gee, guys, I'm just a sweet l'il ol'
kiddo...
[17:22] <KK> LOL. Steve and I <would> make a dangerous combo.
[17:22] <Nancy> Hey, Ann - I never heard from him.
[17:22] <ethan> lol
[17:23] <Wrengl> hi ghostgamess the stranger
[17:23] <Nancy> Katherine, Steve loved the Deryni map.
[17:23] * Martine examines Jasta and finds an odd switch under her
stole. It has a label... "Sweetness and light switch. On/off"
[17:23] <KK> Oh, good.
[17:23] <Mistyck> awesome
[17:23] <JastaElf> LOL, Martine!
[17:23] <JastaElf> You caught me....
[17:23] <Mistyck> sounds like WorldCon's gonna be a blast!
[17:23] <Martine> :-D
[17:23] <Nancy> Yep it is
[17:24] <The_Cat_Whisperer> g2g. Take care, all!
[17:24] <Wrengl> i think it will be
[17:24] <Nancy> par-tay time!
[17:24] <RainbowDragon> Bye, CW
[17:24] * Bynw wishes he could be at worldcon
[17:24] <Martine> I hope they have Starbucks within walking distance
of the WorldCon hotel!
[17:24] <Wrengl> indeed
[17:24] <Nancy> Bye, CW
[17:24] * Debbie-VB thought she was the only one with a
battery-powered halo
[17:24] <the_Bee> be well, Cat
[17:24] <Mistyck> yep yep
[17:24] <ethan> bye bye Cat Whisperer
[17:24] <JastaElf> Night CW!
[17:24] <Wrengl> byw cw
[17:24] <Nancy> It's all connected, Martine
[17:24] <Annie> bye CW
[17:24] <Martine> Then NOTHING will stop us - not even sleep!
[17:24] <Dov> Take care, CW and happy holidays!
[17:24] <Martine> By cw!
[17:24] <KK> I took one of mine to the laminator's, to be cut in half
and put back together with a hinge in the middle, but the guy let
about 2 inches of "hinge"--so he's cut it again and is relaminating.
Hopefully, this will work.
[17:24] <Wrengl> wait until you see me race around in a scooter
[17:24] <Kiri`> night cw
[17:24] <Wrengl> dangerous at every speed!
[17:24] <Martine> LOL!
[17:25] <Ghostgames> I need to laminate a couple, too, for better
hardiness on the convention rounds...
[17:25] <Mistyck> lol!
[17:25] <Martine> "LOOK OUT!!!! I HEAR PAT AROUND THE CORNER!!!"
[17:25] <JastaElf> LOL!
[17:25] <Mistyck> heehee
[17:25] <Wrengl> lol
[17:25] <KK> Didn't know you were scooting these days, Wrengl.
[17:25] <Martine> I'm planning on framing mine and hanging it in my
home office :-)
[17:25] <Wrengl> actually i have only run one person over
[17:25] <Ghostgames> Glad to see you mobile again, Pat!
[17:25] <Kiri`> where is worldcon?
[17:25] <Martine> Boston
[17:25] <Nancy> Will you still have to be scooting at Worldcon? in
Boston, Kiri
[17:25] <The_Cat_Whisperer> *steps onto her Transfer Portal and
disappears in a swirl of cat hair*
[17:25] <Ghostgames> Boston, Labor Day Weekend.
[17:25] <Wrengl> judith conly kept getting it from me
[17:25] * The_Cat_Whisperer Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[17:26] <Ghostgames> Next year it's in Scotland. I have /got/ to go!
:-)
[17:26] <Martine> <drool>
[17:26] <Nancy> I am definitely going to Glasgow!
[17:26] <Annie> I'll be at that one!
[17:26] * Mistyck will be there too, Ann
[17:26] <Nancy> and then to a conference in London
[17:26] <KK> Scott and I will be at that one!
[17:26] <Martine> Ann, let's say next year we both go and follow with
the Highlands trail ride?
[17:26] <Wrengl> we would like to go to glasgow also
[17:26] <JastaElf> I may have to try and plan for that one...
[17:26] <Ghostgames> Hey, Martine, wanna combine it with another horse
trek?
[17:26] <Annie> yay, then I'd get to meet lots of you!
[17:26] <Martine> YES! <g>
[17:26] <JastaElf> Oh, KK, if I can get there can I come riding too??
I promise not to fall off!!
[17:26] <Mistyck> I have to make a stop in North England first though
[17:26] <Ghostgames> er, great minds think alike! :-)
[17:26] <Wrengl> no boston, jasta?
[17:26] <Annie> woo hoo
[17:26] <Nancy> After we make Ann a tabard with the Great Muckin'
Healing Sigil on it!
[17:26] <JastaElf> I'll be in Boston, Pat.
[17:26] <Debbie-VB> I would love to someday do the Britan and Ireland
[17:27] <Wrengl> goody
[17:27] <Annie> Ghostgames, you ok with me being Annie on here - I can
be more creative if you'd prefer
[17:27] <Wrengl> have not decided which day to have the Rampant Lion
Party
[17:27] <Ghostgames> Katherine: there's a bookstore/gamestore in
Cambridge that would /love/ to have us run a Deryni Adventure and have
you do a booksigning sometime before or after WorldCon. I'll email you
the details if you think you can extend your stay a few days.
[17:27] <Samuel> I'd need to be in Scottland/Ireland/England for a
month or more if I ever get out of the US again.....
[17:27] <Annie> Cambridge UK?
[17:27] <Martine> Here we go.
http://www.equestrianvacations.com/horseback_riding_vacations/robroy.htm
[17:27] <Annie> or Cambridge not UK?
[17:28] <KK> Sure, Ghostgames.
[17:28] <JastaElf> Cambridge Mass.
[17:28] <Dov> I'm going to be in Scottsdale, AZ next week until after
Passover.
[17:28] <Nancy> Hm, if you extend your stay, let me know 'cuz there's
that whole going to Ireland thing... :)
[17:28] <Annie> darn, I'm only 20 miles away from Cambridge UK
[17:28] <JastaElf> Where Hahvahd University is... :-)
[17:28] <Nancy> Ooo Dov! Nice this time of year.
[17:28] <Mistyck> yep yep Nancy
[17:28] <KK> We'll coonrdinate it all, Nancy.
[17:28] <Annie> bit further from Cambridge MA!
[17:28] <JastaElf> yup
[17:28] <Ghostgames> Annie's fine, only my family calls me that. And a
certain professor from many decades ago who insisted on calling me
that at 2am (he had odd hours and wouldn't look at the clock before
calling me up to talk about the latest data entry work I was doing for
him)...
[17:29] <Nancy> I think I get home from New Hampshire in time for 2nd
Night
[17:29] <Dov> <nod> we look forward to it all year.
[17:29] <Ghostgames> Cambridge MA.
[17:29] <Nancy> oh wait. doh. Passover is BEFORE Easter this year.
Sheesh
[17:29] <JastaElf> Ghostgames, we decided just before you logged on to
all buy farms around your place and start an Enclave. :-)
[17:29] <Nancy> But not too close, Ann.
[17:29] <Nancy> :)
[17:29] <Ghostgames> Haven't found "our place" yet, though.
[17:29] <Mistyck> and move Melissa there too
[17:30] <Nancy> I told them about the "plan" - wherein YOU have the
cows.
[17:30] <JastaElf> But no cows on Nancy's place.
[17:30] <Martine> MMMMMmoooooo ;-)
[17:30] <JastaElf> :-)
[17:30] <Nancy> See we can't drive to Ann's - we have to do the whole
Jane Austen walking thing
[17:30] <Ghostgames> I may have a couple of jerseys...
[17:30] <Debbie-VB> could I join the enclave Jasta? even if I am so
not a farm-girl?
[17:30] <Ghostgames> Or maybe Swiss Browns.
[17:30] <Nancy> bah. milk extruders
[17:30] <KK> Who needs cows on a farm? It can be a horse farm.
[17:30] * Annie would like you to keep donkeys. She likes donkeys
[17:30] <Ghostgames> But beware, I'm just as likely to have a couple
of elephants.
[17:30] <Samuel> Hey all.... I know where there's a 115 acre farm for
sale.... Why don't we all chip in on that?
[17:30] <Ghostgames> Too small.
[17:30] <Martine> That's what I'll have. Of course, for the first year
or two I'd be a clueless horse farm owner! <G>
[17:30] <JastaElf> Don't need to be countrified VB, just crazed like
the rest of us. :-)
[17:30] <Nancy> See we all have to have our own farms but within
walking or buggy distance
[17:31] <Nancy> I'm going to write 'n make quilts :)
[17:31] <Ghostgames> It needs to be big enough to have its own 100acre
woods (complete with Heffalump Hollow and Wol's Nest) as well as
plenty of pasture for the horses.
[17:31] <Martine> I'll ride from house to house.
[17:31] <JastaElf> And we could breed between farms to keep the gene
pool diverse. :-)
[17:31] <Wrengl> can have a couple of sheep to mow the lawn
[17:31] <Martine> Perfect! LOL@
[17:31] <Annie> and donkeys, don't forget the donkeys
[17:31] <JastaElf> My spread will be called Eryn Lasgalen and have
woods and waterfalls. :-)
[17:31] <KK> Annie, are you really in the UK?
[17:31] <Nancy> I keep hearing Miss Trotwood "Donkeys, Janet!
Donkeys!"
[17:31] <Annie> yes KK
[17:31] <Nancy> Jasta, did I tell you I met Elijah Wood?
[17:31] <Annie> just about propping my eyes open!
[17:31] <KK> :-) That explains the donkeys.
[17:31] <Martine> Mine will be called Brenwell, and have horses of all
sizes.
[17:32] <JastaElf> No, Nancy, you didn't! Is he as nice and funny as
he seems on TV?
[17:32] <KK> Cool, Nancy. What's he like?
[17:32] <Ghostgames> We have to have it all in place well before 2012,
though. That's when the Incan calendar ends (or is it the Aztec
calendar), so Paul thinks there'll be an alien invasion. We'll need to
be self-sufficient, able to survive without modern conveniences...
[17:32] <Nancy> Charming, short, HUGE eyes, gorgeous skin
[17:32] <JastaElf> Fine by me, GG! :-)
[17:32] <Debbie-VB> did they really computer enhance his eyes?
[17:32] <JastaElf> Oh, sounds nice, Nancy...
[17:32] <ethan> It's the Mayan calendar
[17:32] <Martine> By 2012? We'd better get working!
[17:32] <the_Bee> for anyone who needs it the url for worldcon boston
is http://www.noreascon.org/
[17:33] <Nancy> Not very much. I mean his eyes are Very Large and Very
Blue and he is sooo nice.
[17:33] <JastaElf> I'm glad he's nice in person too.
[17:33] <JastaElf> Where did you meet him?
[17:33] <Debbie-VB> I find it hard to believe that he was only 17 when
he started doing the LOTR
[17:33] <Mistyck> Ann: I worry about 2012 myself!
[17:33] * Annie is still trying to work out why being in the UK
explains the donkeys
[17:33] <Ghostgames> The first time Nancy described him to me via IM,
I could practically hear her drooling from the other side of the
country, even though she swears she's not interested in him in That
Way. ;-)
[17:33] <Nancy> In the local Togo's ordering sandwiches the day after
the Academy Awards
[17:33] <KK> Re donkeys, you North Americans should understand that we
in the Isles like donkeys, especially as company for horses. And
there are wonderful farms for retired and rescued donkeys.
[17:34] <Kiri`> well I need to go.. I just stopped in to say hello.
*waves*
[17:34] <Kiri`> see you all soon!
[17:34] <Annie> so donkeys are not a big US thing, then?
[17:34] <Nancy> Nope I'm not. It was just so cool meeting him. He's
NOT my type. I like Sam :)
[17:34] <Ghostgames> I'd actually like a mule, too. :-)
[17:34] <Martine> Huggles, Kiri!
[17:34] <Annie> what about Eeyore?
[17:34] <Nancy> Feel better, Kiri
[17:34] <JastaElf> Bye Kiri! Hope your back feels a LOT better WAY
soon!
[17:34] <Mistyck> night Kiri
[17:34] * Kiri` has left #Deryni_Destinations
[17:34] <Debbie-VB> Kiri, will my story be up on airsid soon?
[17:34] <ethan> Ghostgames, the Mayans predict the world will end on
Dec 12 2012
[17:34] <Debbie-VB> ack too late
[17:34] <Nancy> So, Green Leaf Woods, Jasta?
[17:34] <Martine> Not Lothlorien?
[17:34] <Ghostgames> Ah, yes, the Mayans. Paul keeps it all straight
so I don't have to. :-)
[17:35] <Annie> no need to buy Christmas presents that year then
[17:35] <JastaElf> Yup! I'm a huge King Thranduil fan. :-)
[17:35] <JastaElf> Well, and Legolas, too... ;-)
[17:35] <Nancy> Really? ::blink blink:: I had no idea... ::ducking::
[17:35] <Annie> and Nigel
[17:35] <Martine> Or how about Carthmoor Meadows Farm? <g>
[17:35] <Samuel> ethan: not quite acurate..... The calander just ends
that year. there is an implied "end of the world" prediction
[17:35] <Debbie-VB> jasta, you juat want to get at his son ;-)
[17:35] <JastaElf> Nah. I like Celeborn, but Lothlorien is a little
too Land of the Lotus-Eaters for me. ;-)
[17:35] <ethan> sorry, thanks Sam
[17:35] <JastaElf> LOL! Nancy, there you go again. :-)
[17:35] <Mistyck> ooh, big hurdle overcome...I let Chance back in the
house and Evaine hissed at him but has settled back down on the
computer desk!
[17:35] <Nancy> Bah Celeborn - BORIAS!
[17:35] <Samuel> but there is nothing (that I've ever heard of) to say
that that will happen
[17:36] <JastaElf> Oh, the house will be called Carthmoor House. And
have walls and stuff. :-)
[17:36] <KK> Walls are good.
[17:36] <Nancy> Good 'cuz um there's snow there ya know
[17:36] <Annie> walls are good
[17:36] <Martine> <chuckle> Yes, walls are helpful!
[17:36] <JastaElf> Well, let's just say Marton Czokas! *drool*
[17:36] <Annie> so is a roof
[17:36] <Samuel> If you've heard otherwise, I'd like to know.
[17:36] <Martine> Just don't forget the roof on top. Or to cut a door
in a wall <g>
[17:36] <JastaElf> Well, I means walls you could walk on, you sillies.
:-) You know, crenellated.
[17:36] <KK> We have some of those.
[17:36] <Debbie-VB> . If you have walls and a roof, you might as well
go all the way and get a floor too
[17:36] <JastaElf> I know...
[17:36] <Mistyck> I like those...always have
[17:37] <Nancy> LOL! Ok let's see... so it's Minas Carthmoor in the
Green Leaf Woods
[17:37] <Annie> lol
[17:37] <JastaElf> Serious Holybrooke envy. <g>
[17:37] <JastaElf> Nancy, I like that idea!!!
[17:37] <Nancy> :)
[17:37] <JastaElf> Minas Carthmoor....
[17:37] <Martine> Okay. That's it. Gotta go back to Holybrooke to walk
the walls this time! And of course to see the finished renovations.
:-)
[17:37] <Mistyck> yeah,, good idea
[17:37] <Nancy> when licenses collide <grin>
[17:37] <JastaElf> Has a RING to it... ;-)
[17:37] * Martine groans
[17:37] <JastaElf> LOL!
[17:37] <Nancy> Yes, yes it does...
[17:37] <KK> Speaking of renovations, we have the small windows back
in on the ground floor, and the arches above.

trying to make a template for the arch, which is like a section of
funnel.

[17:38] <the_Bee> Question: what's part of the castle roof where
guards patrol called?
[17:38] <Martine> How long did it take, katherine?
[17:38] <KK> We ended up formint it by tacking narrow laths to the two
edges, then laying expanded metal mesh over that, and plastering.
They look great.
[17:39] <Martine> It would take me a whole day to get it right!
