 gypsycaine says, i know, but I enjoy reading them.

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, The first point I wanted to raise is saying that the kids bought the mansion cheap because it was rumored to be haunted. The haunting should play a role in the plot somewhere

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, Carole, did I ask you if by any very odd chance, Lori confided in you what is org chat relationship between Deputy Chancellor (!) and Supreme Mugwump

siriusgeologist says, no do tell?

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, Lori introduces the Deputy Chacellor of Internation Confederation of Wizards in ... Chapter 14, I think

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Lizabee

lizabee_uk says, hi

peeves23 says, hi

 gypsycaine says, hi!

siriusgeologist says, yes...I do like that she has promoted Sirius

lizabee_uk says,

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, JKR put Supreme Mugwump, International Confederation of Wizards on Dumbledore's letterhead

Your buddy hert0661isme leaves chat

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, How Sirius went from living in exile among Muggles to being a General has got to be a story....

siriusgeologist says, now me and Penny have to figure out how to get him there...ok on the mugwump thing...so connect?

lizabee_uk says, U writing fan fic??

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, I had thought the Supreme Mugwump is the boss man (Chancellor, Secretary-General, President)

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, But the Supreme Mugwump is probably not the boss man in a world where the boss man has the actual title of Chancellor

siriusgeologist says, that makes sense...I never noticed the International Confederation thing

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, (altho' the bit about the Chancellor never being seen or heard anywhere has implications about the role of the Deputy Chancellor!)

You have 8 new messages in Yahoo! Mail ( http://mail.yahoo.com )

siriusgeologist says, maybe Supreme mugwump is a honarary thing...like honarary ambassador

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, Maybe Supreme Mugwump is Chancellor Emeritus?

siriusgeologist says, yeah that would be my guess as it seems Dummbledore has not held a position like chancellor

siriusgeologist says, I mean instrument....?

blaise_42 says, oh, guitar

peeves23 says, hi

peeves23 says, that was my version of motion picture soundtrack by radiohead

peeves23 says, which is pretty different to the album version, which is on organ and harp.

blaise_42 says, It was lovely

peeves23 says, I suspect it cut out before the really good bit, though

siriusgeologist says, wish I could hear it...i really must get speakers

peeves23 says, think I mentioned it to caroline before - was song I was attempting to segue with a nother one, and failing

peeves23 says, and I'm jeremy

peeves23 says, theres an extra r in that sentence up there

siriusgeologist says, I tried that...but it didn't seem to work...my sound card might be disabled...it was a work computer before I moved and took it with me

peeves23 says, ah.

siriusgeologist says, I didn't know your name was caroline...blaise...blaise sounds more exotic

peeves23 says, have you got a little speaker icon down by the clock ?

blaise_42 says, blaise is my penname

blaise_42 says, and I quite like it as a name

siriusgeologist says, yes...and it looks like its making noise

siriusgeologist says, blaise is cool...I'm never any good at thinking up cool names

peeves23 says, ditto

blaise_42 says, oh, I didn't make it up, it's a real name, just not mine

peeves23 used to go as Ubik, which is much better

blaise_42 says, Ubik???

dejavu112 says, Hello everyone

 gypsycaine says, why ubik?

 gypsycaine says, hi!

peeves23 says, I have no idea

siriusgeologist says, Ubik...where is that from?

siriusgeologist says, never mind

peeves23 says, its the title of a Phillip K Dick novel I've never read

siriusgeologist says, my son and I discussed what types of wands some of the other characters might have

gypsycaine says "Be Right Back".

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, MY wand is pepperwood

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, altho' I wish there was a high-quality native wood with an even more obnoxious name!

siriusgeologist says, ooo never heard of pepperwood...is it a tree or bush and is there any lore involved?

dejavu112 says, is there a formula for picking wood types or did you just pick one you liked?

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, Pepperwood grows from Northern California to Washington State, called California Laurel in California and Oregon myrtle in Oregon (I should hve mentioned it before Dennis left)

peeves23 says, you could, if you used yahoo instead of Cheetachat

peeves23 says, (that was called Citrus love, because it's sweet but sour, makes your eyes water and tastes great on pancakes...)(

blaise_42 says, and it's got a very catchy tune

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, In Oregon, all tourist traps offer innumerable nicknacks made of pepperwood with brochures announcing that they are Oregon Myrtle which only grows in Oregon

siriusgeologist says, Is there any place online to read about various woods and their significance?

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, It's a nice-looking native wood so I looked it up on-line and found that it is good wood for furniture and guitars, not just souvenirs

€ catlady_de_los_angeles says, The Greeks and Romans had trials without having a lawyers -- a person with money could hire an advocate, but it was an ORATOR not a LAWYER
