Finally remembered what day it was. 16[2019-07-02 21:02:14] <@Rovena> You are here. That is all that matters 16[2019-07-02 21:03:57] <@Rovena> How are you today? 16[2019-07-02 21:08:21]  Improving. Literally under the weather: feeling the storm coming toward us. 16[2019-07-02 21:08:39] <@Rovena> Stay safe. Storms can be dangerous 16[2019-07-02 21:08:53] <@Rovena> Love the energy of storms though 16[2019-07-02 21:09:26]  I'm good once they've broken, but the leadup makes me as uncomfortable as the wildlife. 16[2019-07-02 21:10:51] <@Rovena> I remember being on the family farm in Kansas and watching the storm roll in over the course of an hour. 16[2019-07-02 21:13:29]  I have to run, but thank you to everyone for being here - you are the best!!! 16[2019-07-02 21:13:32]  It's been a tumultuous several days, even without actual storm fronts. It would take all night to summarize the Major Events of the last couple of weeks. 16[2019-07-02 21:13:36]  Night, Drum! 16[2019-07-02 21:13:42]  Night Drum 16[2019-07-02 21:13:47]  Night :D 27[2019-07-02 21:13:52] * Drum (Drum@sorcery-k25.mvm.241.72.IP) has quit IRC (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client) 16[2019-07-02 21:16:45] <@Rovena> Hope things get back to normal for you, Nathan. 16[2019-07-02 21:17:41]  I'd take the chaos if it wasn't including harm. The spring was stagnant, so some shakeup is good. 16[2019-07-02 21:18:21]  Things like: we may get some money coming. Because a friend's store burned down and my wife had products there on consignment, eligible for insurance reimbursement. 16[2019-07-02 21:19:20] <@Rovena> Oh. no! Hope no one was hurt. Reimbursement would be good, though. 16[2019-07-02 21:20:05]  No, it was an overnight fire. They came back that morning to find it gone. 16[2019-07-02 21:21:45] <@Rovena> I had a friend who helped run her synagogue's gift shop which had the most awful, old stuff but the lady in charge would update the offerings. 16[2019-07-02 21:22:24] <@Rovena> While she was in the Holy Land, the shop was robbed. The theives had no taste as they took all the awful stuff. 16[2019-07-02 21:22:45] <@Rovena> My friend got it all replaced with nice stuff before the lady got back in town. 16[2019-07-02 21:23:19] <@Rovena> Sometimes bad stuff can help 16[2019-07-02 21:23:29]  I am heading out for the night, ttyl 16[2019-07-02 21:23:54] <@Rovena> Til next time 27[2019-07-02 21:27:31] * StarQuake (Sol@sorcery-7ha.lp6.58.172.IP) has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 121 seconds) 18[2019-07-02 21:27:55] <@Rovena> Owlhawk, how is Khan doing? 21[2019-07-02 21:28:44] <@Owlhawk> Good. He's now trying to get Snowball to play with him. We've taken him out for a few walks, need to adjust his harness...he tends to walk out of it 16[2019-07-02 21:29:15] <@Rovena> Walking out of it isn't good. Glad he wants to play with Snowball. 16[2019-07-02 21:29:29] <@Rovena> Snowball may come around. 21[2019-07-02 21:29:46] <@Owlhawk> no it's not. Might have to get a smaller one. Snowball is 14 or 15 years old..... 16[2019-07-02 21:29:48] <@Rovena> Bootsie is finally starting to play with Sammy. 21[2019-07-02 21:30:07] <@Owlhawk> her attitude can be summed up by 'youngster, fuck off!' 16[2019-07-02 21:30:29] <@Rovena> Understand that 16[2019-07-02 21:32:33] <@Rovena> I need to take the car to the garage in the morning for an oil chane and new brake light so I will say goodnight to y'all. 27[2019-07-02 21:32:51] * @Rovena (rovena@sorcery-2bgb9c.hnremote.net) has quit IRC (Quit: ) 27[2019-07-02 21:37:09] * NathanLarge (NathanLarge@sorcery-j83dm6.res.rr.com) has quit IRC (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
