[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [6:58:37 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [6:58:42 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi all!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [6:59:24 PM EST] <The_Bee> How was your week, KK?
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [6:59:31 PM EST] <KK> brb
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:00:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK, Hi Bee.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:01:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello all
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:01:28 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:01:39 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat> Hi y'all.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:01:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yo, WindyCat! ;)
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:02:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi WindyCat
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:02:10 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat> 👋
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:02:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi WindyCat, Desert Rose, Bee, et al
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:02:24 PM EST] <The_Bee> and Howdy shiral
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:03:21 PM EST] <KK> I'm back. Had to get an allergy pill.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:03:32 PM EST] <DesertRose> I don't know if Bynw will make it today; Kristen's service was today (ended about an hour ago if it went by the schedule Bynw gave), so he may or may not be up to chatting.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:03:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi KK, I hope we didn't bring on the allergic reaction? 😉
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:04:06 PM EST] <DesertRose> Surely she's not allergic to her fans; she's been chatting with us for how long? ;)
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:04:07 PM EST] <The_Bee> :@ to allergies
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:04:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> But yes, definite boo-hiss to allergies.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:04:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> If he didn't make it, I wouldn't be surprised. Sad day for him.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:04:26 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat> My allergies have been raging all day.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:04:44 PM EST] <KK> I'd guess he won't make it. On the other hand, maybe we're the best place to decompress.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:04:57 PM EST] <DesertRose> That's kind of where my brain is, KK.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:04:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> He might need distraction, true.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:05:08 PM EST] <KK> Check his facebook page. He wrote a beautiful tribute to Kristen.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:05:10 PM EST] <DesertRose> If he doesn't make it, he doesn't, but he might need company.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:05:27 PM EST] <The_Bee> He may have company.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:05:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri has just arrived and sends you his Happy New Year wishes, KK
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:06:05 PM EST] <KK> He was with the family for breakfast, so maybe that was his quota for the day. On the other hand, we're famly, too.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:06:35 PM EST] <The_Bee> brb
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:07:19 PM EST] <KK> I've been texting him every day, reminding him to eat and sleep. That's very important.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:07:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> Either way, I figure we ought to be here in case he needs us and also because I don't know about anyone else, but *I* need chat. Y'all are Part Of The Routine That Allows The DesertRose To Keep What Sanity She Has Left.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:08:07 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat> @DesertRose (she/her) Definitely!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:08:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> I video-chatted with him yesterday; he's not sleeping well, and I'm not terribly surprised although I wish otherwise of course. Short sleep is no bueno.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:08:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We all need all the sanity we have, these days
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:09:09 PM EST] <KK> Well, it's been a busy week for me, as I bear down on getting stuff moved to the new house. I'm sitting at my new desk now--which is somewhat chaotic, as I try to find new resting places for necessary desk stuff. But I'm also putting aside extra office supplies that I probably won't need, because of having so much on hand.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:09:57 PM EST] <DesertRose> Moving sucks. Even when the reason is good, the process is not.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:10:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> it's tough, that's for sure
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:10:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Moving is busy and it's very hard to stay organized. My Mom moved to a new apartment in early December, and because the staff is so busy these days, she still has pictures she can't get hung on her walls.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:10:34 PM EST] <KK> My crew finished rebuilding the stairs on my new back deck, and they're wonderful! Square platforms with shallow steps, almost like a ramp. Both Booker and I will love them.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:10:53 PM EST] <DesertRose> If you've got office supplies to spare, you might see if anyone accepts donations of office supplies. Food bank? Domestic violence shelter? Homeless shelter? They all have admin stuff to do.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:10:58 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh lovely!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:11:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The chaos will pass, and you'll feel more settled in soon, KK
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:11:27 PM EST] <KK> Believe me, I won't just throw it out. Everything can go to a new hope.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:11:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But of course, you are a champion at moving!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:11:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> (hi all, btw)
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:11:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Bethane
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:12:06 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat> Hi Bethane.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:12:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Bethane.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:12:36 PM EST] <DesertRose> No, I didn't figure you'd throw it away, but I was just kicking out ideas of places that might be able to give the stuff a good home.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:12:48 PM EST] <KK> I've only moved three times in the last 40-45 years, so I don't know how expert that makes me.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:13:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well yes, but two of those times were across oceans and continents
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:13:24 PM EST] <KK> The mission is a good prospect. I've given them a lot of stuff.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:13:27 PM EST] <The_Bee> since you're here, KK, I assume our computer is working.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:13:44 PM EST] <The_Bee> your
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:13:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Unless she's beaming her thoughts to us, probably so. =o)
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:14:17 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat> 🤣
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:15:13 PM EST] <KK> Computer itself is fine, but my speakers aren't working, for some reason. Ear bug works just fine. Anna moved the equipment, so either she damaged it somehow, which I doubt, or something isn't plugged in properly, or....
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:15:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> My bet would be not plugged in properly/plug was jostled out of place.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:16:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Sounds like the likeliest problem
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:16:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I swear, making your computer speakers work right is a matter of magic spells.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:16:52 PM EST] Join derynifank () has joined this channel.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:16:58 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi derynifank
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:17:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> hello @derynifank
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:17:12 PM EST] <The_Bee> HI DFK
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:17:21 PM EST] <DesertRose> And USB jacks exist in four dimensions. ;)
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:17:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Bethane, maybe the Wards weren't properly set....
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:17:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DFK
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:17:29 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi DR, bethane. and Bee
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:17:38 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi ShirL
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:17:50 PM EST] <KK> That would be my guess as well, but I haven't had the energy to get down on the floor to explore. But I now have a video doorbell, and cameras outside, thanks to Cameron. And most of my office closet has been taken over by a gigantic rack to hold some components for the wifi.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:18:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Easier to get down onto the floor than back up
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:18:29 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:18:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> Train Gus to check the plugged-in pieces? ;) (I'm kidding.)
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:18:38 PM EST] <KK> I need to paint the plywood that it's mounted on, which takes up most of the closet's back wall.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:18:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Or Booker
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:19:12 PM EST] <derynifank> So true. I can get down without too much trouble but getting up is a whole other problem
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:19:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> same here
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:19:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> So once you're down, you might as well consolidate some of the tasks that need doing down t here.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:19:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> there
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:19:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> Right?!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:20:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Darn rented fingers
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:20:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> Like, if I have to get on the floor, I'm going to handle EVERYTHING that requires getting down there before I get back up.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:20:27 PM EST] <derynifank> You must have extra wifi. Mine is small and just sits on my desk
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:20:56 PM EST] <KK> Neither Gus nor Booker is here yet. I'm currently looking for a panel for the slider, with a dog flap in the bottom and microchip interface, so that Booker can come and go but Gus can't. Don't want my 18 year-old cat getting into trouble outside in a strange neighborhood.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:21:13 PM EST] <DesertRose> No, indeed. We want to keep the Gus inside.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:21:16 PM EST] <derynifank> So true
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:21:26 PM EST] <The_Bee> Who's pet-sitting?
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:21:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Nope. Elderly cats need to stay in. Especially in a strange new place
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:21:42 PM EST] <derynifank> Tell Gue his adventure days are over
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:21:54 PM EST] <derynifank> Gus
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:22:18 PM EST] <KK> There's a router and a video machine that manages the cameras. I suspect it's overkill, but Cameron insisted that we need it all.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:22:22 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat> There'll be plenty for him to explore when he gets there.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:22:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> I imagine at 18, Gus has probably sorted that out on his own. Most cats that age aren't super active anymore.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:22:42 PM EST] <KK> Oh, yes. And no stairs for any of us. Yay!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:22:45 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:22:47 PM EST] <derynifank> Can't argue with your tech expert
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:22:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> 3 out of my 4 don't bother going outside
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:23:09 PM EST] <KK> Nope. And he's just trying to keep his mom safe; I know that.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:23:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My mom gave my cats a new catnip toy for Christmas. Dmitri has been VERY active, lately. But he's just 10
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:23:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Mine are 14-15
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:23:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Good for Cameron! But it does add to the quantity of electronic luggage
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:24:00 PM EST] <derynifank> My crazy cat doesn't like catnip. Give it to him and he ignores it
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:24:01 PM EST] <KK> I got Gus a catnip banana. He loves it; lives on the bed, and he wrestles it and rabbit-kicks it every night.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:24:37 PM EST] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:24:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Tati just gloms on to the dead champagne cork. It's her favorite thing to bat around on the floor
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:24:45 PM EST] <KK> Some cats are not genetically predisposed to react to catnip.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:24:46 PM EST] <derynifank> Never saw a catnip banana
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:24:59 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat> My two are only 3, but I live on a major and near an interstate. They're strictly indoor only.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:24:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> Melantha ignores catnip; Mickey adores it.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:25:13 PM EST] <DesertRose> Some cats don't react to catnip. Carys eats it, gets high as a kite, and then is a furry lump for a few hours.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:25:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well I'm glad Gus is enjoying his Christmas goodies!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:25:26 PM EST] <KK> Google them. They're right up there with the floppy fish.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:26:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> Sarah sent me a pair of crocheted donuts to bait with catnip, one for Carys and one for my parents' cats; she wants us to field-test them and make sure the donuts will survive as cat toys.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:26:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I got my sister's two cats a catnip taco
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:26:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Of course, befoer the week is out, all the toys get knocked under the entertainment center or under the couch
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:26:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> If a cat likes catnip, they won't care what the container look like.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:26:26 PM EST] <KK> They're also refillable, if the catnip loses its oomph.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:26:48 PM EST] <derynifank> And if they have a squeeker, it has been ripped out
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:26:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I was looking for something in the living room the other day that meant pulling out the sofa. And I found the secret hiding place of about 18 different ball cat toys
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:27:09 PM EST] <The_Bee> Remember Bynw's picture of his cat hugging a banana?
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:27:14 PM EST] <KK> LOL. Why am I not surprised?
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:27:23 PM EST] <derynifank> Haha. Now you have a srash
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:27:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> Have y'all seen the cartoon of the couch with the cat-toy lever?
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:27:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Must have a gravity well of some kind under the sofa
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:28:03 PM EST] <The_Bee> No, DR can you show us?
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:28:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> snaps fingers and lays the chatroom tea table with tea, sandwiches and cakes.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:28:33 PM EST] <derynifank> Would love to see that if you still have it.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:29:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> yay! sandwiches and cakes!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:29:16 PM EST] * The_Bee adds mugs of hot chocolate and flagons of cider, hot and cold.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:29:21 PM EST] * derynifank puts out mulled wine and fruitcake cookies
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:29:42 PM EST] <derynifank> Yay, lots of good treats
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:29:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Woo hoo! I love chat time!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:30:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> No diets, new year's or otherwise, apply in chat
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:30:34 PM EST] <derynifank> Yay. A diet free zone. Love it
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:30:50 PM EST] <Laurna> Good Afternoon/Evening ladies and gents
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:30:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Laurna

[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:31:56 PM EST] <Laurna> Turning the oven on would be good
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:32:03 PM EST] <derynifank> Go beyond contemplatuuin, eatem
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:32:09 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Laurna. The last of the costume books on their way to you.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:32:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> If we look at you with soulful eyes, wil you make brownies?
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:32:17 PM EST] <Laurna> Oh neat!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:32:30 PM EST] <Laurna> I love books.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:32:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> How many costume books did you have, @KK
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:32:39 PM EST] <Laurna> I have started sewing again

[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:33:05 PM EST] <KK> Sewing is good. I need to get my machine cleaned and serviced.

[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:34:04 PM EST] <Laurna> I need that for the dog toys
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:34:16 PM EST] <derynifank> Great cartoon. Glad you are defeating the boxes
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:34:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Wow, I want that on my sofa!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:34:50 PM EST] <KK> I'm much earlier in the process, Revanne, but at least my computer is moved, and I'm sitting at my new desk in my new (chaotic) office.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:34:50 PM EST] <Laurna> Glad you are getting a handle on the moving boxes. they can be so ornarry.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:35:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Boxes secretly multiply if you don't keep a sharp eye on them!
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:35:20 PM EST] <KK> True.
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:35:22 PM EST] <derynifank> Murray can't get his tous unde the sofa so hides them all over the house
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:35:27 PM EST] <Laurna> KK, Do you have most of your furniture moved?
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:35:28 PM EST] <revanne> Very true
[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:35:55 PM EST] <derynifank> toys

[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:37:02 PM EST] <KK> No, only a few pieces. But Martie and I are making progress moving small loads. Hope to get the KK books moved tomorrow, which will jist about empty the library. And I've found a used book store to take the books in the media room!

[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:38:15 PM EST] <revanne> One of the problems is that very few of the walls are straight in the cottage.

[Sunday, January 10, 2021] [7:38:45 PM EST] <Laurna> Does that mean they are curvved?

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
