gypsycaine . o O ( i am recording this chat. )

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, And I'm tyring to understand why Cheeta offers a Dog macro and an Owl macro but not any Cat macros, not even a Cheetah

catlady_de_los_angeles : |\___/| 

catlady_de_los_angeles : / º º \ 

catlady_de_los_angeles : /_.~ ~,_\ 

catlady_de_los_angeles : \@/ This is for my friend _SilentWolf_

 gypsycaine says, ian's not (lol RITA!)

? babynick34 says, Yes... strange, you would have thought there would be a Cheetah macro.

p_dumbledore says, Does that mean we have to watch our language ?

 gypsycaine says, napping yet

You have 1 new messages in Yahoo! Mail ( http://mail.yahoo.com )

 gypsycaine says, Rita, you can make your own macros, and add them to the list.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I'm so new to Cheeta, I don't know how to edit the macro so it says Moony and Padfoot instead of Silent Wolf

 gypsycaine says, it's very easy (altho don't ask me how--everyone else adds them all the time!)

? harry_potter00 says, So can anyone tell me about the Hallmark Merchandise???

heiditandy says, he normally naps at 1pm ish instead - and he's a toddler - a running, climbing toddler. Thank goodness he hasn't figured out how to fly yet!

? babynick34 says, Hallmark have some stuff available - it's on their site. However they do not have a licence to sell it on the net.

dee_97527 says, At our Hallmark they said it would be October before it would be shipped

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, People on the e-group said that each Hallmark Store has to order its HP merchandise by a rapidly approaching deadline in order to have it in the store for Xmas shopping

? babynick34 says, My boss went to Boston last week... went to all the Hallmark stores she could find, and none of them had the stuff.

? harry_potter00 says, Really, well would it be a lot of trouble if you could spare the link???

? babynick34 says, Stores said it was not coming in until November.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I saw some pictures back on the Hallmark Press Release (don't remember URL: FAQ Committee?) and there wasn't anything I wanted, just

heiditandy says, i posted the link on egruops earlier - I'll try to find it for you hp00

harry_potter00 sobs.

? harry_potter00 says, My local Hallmark manager is Anti HP so wewont be seeing it! 

? babynick34 says, Harry Potter : http://www.hallmark.com/hmk/Website/goto.jsp?CONTENT_KEY=QXE4381&CONTENT_TYPE=PRODUCT

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, pewter Xmas ornaments and pewter figurines

heiditandy says, thanks babynick!

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, But the Golden Snitch and Harry himself are the only things that need to be licensed merchandise ... wizards with long white beards, witches, brooms, cauldrons, owls, wands are all generic

You have 0 new messages in Yahoo! Mail ( http://mail.yahoo.com )

? babynick34 says, Those are the links which Hallmark sent me... they seem to work.

? harry_potter00 says, They look nice, I will be excited to get them this Christmas.

heiditandy says, catlady - that's why so many costume websites have great wizard costumes this year - but none in size 2T

? babynick34 says, department56 have some stuff coming out in Oct/Nov. Secret boxes

p_dumbledore says, Didn't you see mine that I posted in members pics?

brooksindy says, I'm back, dripping

? babynick34 says, In which group Dennis?

heiditandy says, what is dept 56?

 gypsycaine says, ................

 gypsycaine says, ack

p_dumbledore says, over on egroups FILES section - Sorry about the pic of you Nick :-(

 gypsycaine says, never hit the backspace key with the phrase highlighted.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I'm afraid that my boss/friend Regina is going to buy me an HP figurine for Xmas, as she knows about but does not understand my HP obsession

? babynick34 says, www.department56.com/home.html seems to be a US/Canada store... I've emailed them about online ordering and exporting.

p_dumbledore says, I was busy scanning all day - got pics back from London

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, department 56 makes 'collectibles' such as little model houses for model railroads and some winged cat Xmas tree ornaments that I was given for Xmas two years ago

dejavu112 is away (Auto-Away)

? harry_potter00 says, Dept 56, is the collectible Houses that people set up to make villages at Christmas. They are sold through Novelty stores like Hallmark.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't have an Xmas tree -- not because of religion, because of cats 

dejavu112 is back.

dejavu112 says, hey I am what?

harry_potter00 steams in silence.

? harry_potter00 says, Oops!

heiditandy says, Just checked out the dept 56 site- looks interesting

dejavu112 says, Okay memo to self: Stop being so anti-socal

brooksindy says, Hmm, I resized the window and it appears to have logged me out and back in, I just lost the chat transcript before that point.

? babynick34 says, Dennis - my pic does not look too bad

p_dumbledore says, Neal, was unhappy with his.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dejavu112 (hey, it rhymes dejavu -one one two) the narrator said you were away and then that you were back. Do you want to be called Deja? Javu?

? harry_potter00 says, As far as costumes I was thinking of dressing up as Harry to greet the tricker treaters as I am to old to go and collect candy myself.

? babynick34 says, Etoys.com have the glasses in!

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Nick, the picture of you wasn't as nice as the one by Hogwarts Express and wasn't as bad as the one you used to have in your Yahoo profile.

dejavu112 says, Sure you can call me that

heiditandy says, nick - url?

? harry_potter00 says, Right

heiditandy says, warner bros has "real" harry glasses too

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I was just wishing he WAS here, so I could say "He can send that picture to anyone who has been making unwanted advances to him"

? babynick34 says, No size indicator though.

p_dumbledore says, Get some of those really wide German Harry Glasses ..ha!

heiditandy says, from GermanEtoys : )

? babynick34 says, I wish more stores would sell HP stuff.. then I could write some software to compare the prices.

? babynick34 says, As it is, WBSTORE.COM is about the only place you can get things at the moment.

heiditandy says, or from the sellers at ebay

dee_97527 says, I think that by Christmas more will be out

? babynick34 says, Though, I think they are having problems... as my order from 10th Aug, still has not arrived.

? harry_potter00 says, Here's the link to the Dept. 56 product list though HP pic aren't avaliable yet http://www.dept56.com/html/newproducts/maynewproducts.html

p_dumbledore says, Probably got swamped with orders

p_dumbledore says, a nice flying owl with message in its mouth

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I need to learn how to make my colors cycle over each few letters rather than the whole statement 

brooksindy is away (Auto-Away)

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, especially since I make such long statements!

? harry_potter00 says, This is a bit strange 

? babynick34 says, Secret Boxes (from dept56) are due Nov.1st.

heiditandy says, the hair on harry on the german site is what I imagine Draco's hair in PoU to look like.

 gypsycaine says, I think i need to change colors, rita.

 gypsycaine says, we're too close...

? harry_potter00 says, Well I think that it is all right

peeves23 enters

 gypsycaine says, ok.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Make the gold darker or the orange paler and tell me how to cycle it

peeves23 says, hello... new member here 

peeves23 waves at Blaise

blaise_42 says, hi, peeves

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I am now trying to post replies to e-group!

 gypsycaine says, the less colors you have in the mix, the less letters that the change goes thru.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Peeves

 gypsycaine says, hi peeves.

? babynick34 says, Perfect Soluitions are planning to stock the secret boxes... I wonder if they will ship internationally? http://www.theperfectsolution.com/hboxes.htm

peeves23 says, hi

Your buddy bigeagle75 has gone off pager

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee, what is this about Locates -- is that an Emotion?

? babynick34 says, Dee - I'm hunting a picture... found a pic this afternoon, but it's on the work PC.

? harry_potter00 says, I like this colour combination....

dee_97527 says, How big are the secret boxes?

peeves23 says, I have to say I thought those harry potter model thingies sucked

blaise_42 says, what secret boxes?

? harry_potter00 says, and you can read it...

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I *think( they mean Department 56 boxes with secret compartments

brooksindy is back.

? babynick34 says, Yes... secret boxes are by Dept56

blaise_42 says, sorry to sound ignorant - what's Dept56?

dejavu112 says, Its a online store I believe

blaise_42 says, aha

? babynick34 says, Dennis - I like the picture of the Alley... chaging the name was a nice touch

? harry_potter00 says, Ok it is an american company that sells glass houses...

p_dumbledore says, Changing the name... I don't understand 

? babynick34 says, US/Canada supplier of 'things' to use a better word. Colectable items. They have a website, but don't mention about International Shipping

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Not glass, ceramic

? babynick34 says, Of the pub sign

? harry_potter00 says, oops yes well I MEANT that...

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Little model houses for model railroads and Xmas village displaysl

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I thought you were making a joke about glass houses (in which one should not throw stones)

p_dumbledore says, Oh, I didn't change it.. wink wink nudge nudge

? harry_potter00 says, The Christmas villages...I have things like a starbuck coffee and a Big Ben tower

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Especially since you posted a msg about having great ideas when off-line and not being able to remember them when you get to the PC

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Which I really believe you are too young to experience!

? harry_potter00 says, That would have been clever...oh well

brooksindy says, people who live in glass houses should change clothes in the basement

blaise_42 says, hehe

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Or have very nice figures and tattoos that they are proud of

 gypsycaine says, that's why you buy the screen, brooks.

? harry_potter00 says, and never underestimate the poorness of my memory 

 gypsycaine grins.

gypsycaine I AM SAVING THIS CHAT>>>>> LEGAL NOTIFICATION

brooksindy says, And then there is the story of the African tribal chief and his hut

? babynick34 says, LAG TEST

brooksindy says, H bought a big fancy throne and put it on the upper floor

brooksindy says, but it fell through, proving that

p_dumbledore says, There were StarBucks all over London !!

peeves23 says, lol

? babynick34 says, Ok... so my post with the URL didn't come through. Here it is again: http://www.fiddlesticksdallas.com/harry_potter_at_fiddlesticks.htm

? babynick34 says, Secret boxes can be seen at that location

brooksindy says, peole who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones

? harry_potter00 says, I was suprised about that to P Dumbledore. but at least I could still get a Frapuchino, 

peeves23 says, lol... my dad used to tell us that when I was 3...

? harry_potter00 says, Which I horribly misspelled

peeves23 says, and my brothers got friends round

? babynick34 says, LOL peeves... don't you just love it. Microwave Rice I have here takes 2 mins, and is so hot when it comes out that it takes longer than that before you can even attempt to open it.

jenP_97 says, bacon is important.

peeves23 says, and i'm huuungry...

 gypsycaine says, it's a joke.

blaise_42 says, head of the dragon

brooksindy says, Dee, i think the chat in msgs may not be good idea, it really enlarged teh digest. Consider putting in files.

jenP_97 says, dragon?

? babynick34 says, I wonder if the motto will ever be used in the books - other than for the inner cover of the UK editions.

? heiditandy says, oh good! I found it!

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Caput Draconis is a star or constellation

peeves23 says, I thought whoever it was was just kidding, not asyin that he/she microwaved all his/her food

? harry_potter00 says, and the most complicated think I can say is Puellae bonam aquam portant. But I've only had the class for two weeks...

brooksindy says, Heidi is apparating....

 gypsycaine says, lol

jenP_97 says, I wonder if they'll ever even put it in the US editions.

blaise_42 says, really, rita? where is it?

 gypsycaine says, we're on filch this week, then, and Mrs. Figgs?

jenP_97 says, no...

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Speaking of Astronomy, which is a heavily required subject at Hogwarts,

? heiditandy says, Gypsy, you say that as if there were 2 people named Mrs Figg!

jenP_97 says, I'm doing chapter 8 and Bagman starting tomorrow.

Your buddy hime_alyianna_kage is on pager

? harry_potter00 says, WelI can say a bit more but I know I will enjoy it.

blaise_42 says, Astronomy is cool! I need to learn more about it

 gypsycaine says, well, technically.....

 gypsycaine shrugs.

peeves23 says, what is all this talk of doing things? have I missed something?

jenP_97 says, that's what I thought anyway. did we cahnge it?

jenP_97 says, er, change

? harry_potter00 says, Bagman....Wait..... Ok Ludo means play in Latin!!!

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, and Harry wants to buy a move of the whole moving galaxy, and Dumbledore's watch shows the planets in real time

? heiditandy says, bagman is someone in a gambling ring who handles the $$, or pounds, too I guess.

peeves23 says, its also the name of a board game

 gypsycaine says, i am just going by what i saw in the club calendar.

jferer enters

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Ludo means 'play' or 'game' in Latin and it is possible that the 'vic' ending of Ludovic is not merely a reference to Clovis, but to victory

peeves23 says, bagman.. isn't that the name for... can't remember; either something to do with circuses, or a thug, or something?

 gypsycaine says, that's funny heidi.

peeves23 says, anyone got an OED handy?

 gypsycaine says, esp with his "ahem" goblin addictiion?

? harry_potter00 says, OED

 gypsycaine says, oed?

blaise_42 says, yeah, but bagman wasn't in it, I don't think

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Bagman carries the cash for a criminal enterprise. In protection racket, the bagman goes around to little stores to collect their monthly payments

peeves23 says, oxford english dictionary - gives very precise definition of lots of words, plus where it came from...

peeves23 says, aha

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, In bribery, he carries the money from the rich businessman to the politician

brooksindy says, There is a Brit history author named Ludovic Kennedy.

blaise_42 says, here we go, bagman b. One who collects or administers the collection of money obtained by racketeering and other dishonest means. slang (orig. and chiefly U.S.).

? babynick34 says, Bagman = dishonest official; a person who collects, carries, or distributes illegal payoff money. 

blaise_42 says, which is what Rita just said

? harry_potter00 says, He hehe... Yes well I'm trying to get my hands on a Brit Ed,. of the Dic.

p_dumbledore says, I wonder if the Quidditch pitch /now the Maze is under the control of the protection around Hogworts, this might account for why the port key worked and you might be able to apperate in the same area?

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, But I wonder if JKR was thinking of 'left holding the bag' -- that is the bag the cat was let out of?

jenP_97 says, brb

gypsycaine . o O ( wonders if there's a website with OED on it? )

jferer leaves

? harry_potter00 says, and the woman at B&N must of thought me crazy to ask her if they had one...

peeves23 says, maybe its because the portkey was enchanted inside Hogwarts

 gypsycaine says, that is a question Dennis.

 gypsycaine says, I thought about that, with the 200 slythie fans.

peeves23 says, and so it's not subject to the usual restrictions

? babynick34 says, . o O (wonders what OED is?)

peeves23 says, (in which case you'd expect to be able to apparate out from H, but never mind)

blaise_42 says, OED is Oxford English Dictionary

Your buddy hime_alyianna_kage is in chat

? heiditandy says, gotta go - baby is awake - bye all!

heiditandy leaves

 gypsycaine says, if not all of them are students, then the field might be the only non area at Hogwarts, or only during matches, and stuff, like a defensive shield on StarTrek?

? babynick34 says, There is a CD-ROM version I think.

? harry_potter00 says, Portkeys have raised a lot of questions.

jenP_97 says, 80% done with cheetachat download

blaise_42 says, yeah, there is

Your buddy angeliquestill has gone off pager

jenP_97 says, the cdrom of the oed is about 650 dollars (US)

 gypsycaine wonders if that made sense?

peeves23 says, it did

 gypsycaine chokes at that price.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Cluthdovicus -- Clovis the Great, -- Ludwig the Insane -- Louis of France -- Ludovic -- all the same name

jenP_97 says, and honestly, it's not that great. The print version is MUCH more user friendly.

? harry_potter00 says, Like why can't the students just Portkey to Hogwarts instead of riding the train...

peeves23 says, I worry that JKR has actually got loads of plot holes

peeves23 says, for instance, why bother with the portkey at all?

p_dumbledore says, Nothing has been said about the protective area around Hogworts as far as I know.

brooksindy says, Peeves, so does Star Trek and the fans stay loyal....

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Portkeying must be more expensive than the train, and the train is available, so use it

peeves23 says, why not have Moody grab harry, Stupefy him, and escape under the Invisibility Cloak

? babynick34 says, www.oed.com (in case anyone was looking for it still)

peeves23 says, at any time

 gypsycaine says, i wonder when i think of these things, am I just thinking too much, and not taking the book?

 gypsycaine says, thanks Nick!

? harry_potter00 says, I see what you mean...

irene8888 enters

? harry_potter00 says, Hi

irene8888 says, hello room

jenP_97 says, well, except for the veritaserum, nobody knew that moody was a sp[y...

jenP_97 says, er, spy.

p_dumbledore says, I'm sure that not all the students come in from Kings Cross, would seem strange for a student from Scotland to go all the way to London.

peeves23 says, do we know its in scotland?

brooksindy says, Hiya.

jenP_97 says, so, in theory, if the portkey plan had WORKED (and hp had died), then moody could have still been a spy in hogwarts... maybe.

 gypsycaine says, how about the irish students?

peeves23 says, true

peeves23 says, except he wasnt staying

 gypsycaine says, ok here's a thought.

blaise_42 says, they have to fly over Peebles to get there

jenP_97 says, faux moody, that is.

? harry_potter00 says, Hmmm, well I'm righting Fanfic and I can't figure out how to explain the wizards going from NYC to London, anyIdeas

 gypsycaine says, isn't there a chimney at Hogwarts?

 gypsycaine says, why not use floo powder?

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Maybe they add an extra car at the station just before Hogwarts? A car with the students whose parents drove them there?

peeves23 says, why not apparate

p_dumbledore says, No, but it would be like flying from Michigan to Dallas to get to chicago

jenP_97 says, well, hell, crouch jr could have snuck off with some hair from someone else then.  I didn't say this was a bulletproof theory. 

? babynick34 says, OED is a bit pricey... 250 UKPounds+vat for CD-ROM version. Stick with the book version I think.

irene8888 says, the only time i saw floo powder used was when the adult Weasleys were around

peeves23 says, (that was to H_P00)

blaise_42 says, the book version is pricey too

peeves23 says, floo powder strikes me as a bit of a nasty way to travel, really - not very pleasant

irene8888 says, is floo powder a 'for adults only' product?

? harry_potter00 says, I'll stick with the book ...

peeves23 says, but presumably quite cheap...

 gypsycaine says, not too cheap.

p_dumbledore says, Maybe with foo powder you can't carry alot of trunks and stuff with you

 gypsycaine says, Molly seemed a bit worried.

? harry_potter00 says, I don't thin that floo powder is for the priveleged

dejavu112 says, Maybe Floo powder is not something the "higher classes" use

jenP_97 says, they took hp's trunk with them to the weasley's house...

 gypsycaine says, all Harry had he carried thru the Dursley's fire.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, it's something like Floo Powder that Snape threw in his fireplace and said "Lupin! I want a word with you!" 

jenP_97 says, by floo pouder.

jenP_97 says, ack. powder.

blaise_42 says, well, they talked about teh Floo Network, with all the wizard fires hooked up to it

brooksindy says, OMG. I just got it. Floo powder = flue powder -through the chimney flues.

? harry_potter00 says, Everyone, we seem to be having a bit of nasty weather and I must leave the computer...

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Plus "flew

jenP_97 says, and Sirius talked to Harry via the face-only floo powder.

irene8888 says, well...if Hogwarts has a chimney...then the teachers just gloo in then

blaise_42 says, Scott, if they travel by floo powder they'll have to connect the chimney in NYC

irene8888 says, floo

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, By, Scott

 gypsycaine says, you must be close to us...bye scott.

 gypsycaine says, Nick, where is he?

jenP_97 leaves

irene8888 says, are there people chatting in the egroups chatroom?

? babynick34 says, It snowed here in the UK this week - very strange... weatherforcasters said it was hail, not snow.

? babynick34 says, No idea Dee

blaise_42 says, which bit of the uk are you in?

peeves23 says, it didn't here 

p_dumbledore says, two tornado's over there too

? babynick34 says, South... it snowed up in Hull

blaise_42 says, well, no snow here in Kent

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, The teachers can Apparate (or whatever) to Hogwarts train station or to Hogmeade. The school can send a carriage to pick them up there ... it has at least 100 carriages! 

peeves23 says, pissed down earlier, for about 10 minutes... just as my brother was about to have a barbecue

Your buddy flying_ford_anglia is in chat

? babynick34 says, Blaise - no the snow was only in Hull... very issolated. Did you not see it on the news earlier this week.

 gypsycaine says, OH is having thunderstorms (have surge protector)

blaise_42 says, I read something about heavy hail somewhere...

 gypsycaine says, here comes neil.

 gypsycaine says, going to embarass him again... lol

brooksindy says, I think the no apparation area may extend into Hogsmeade buyt just outside is OK

Your buddy flying_ford_anglia leaves chat

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Neil, we were eariler pitying you for the pciture Dennis posted

p_dumbledore says, They had a tornado area, and the big thunder head pulled up the rain and formed tiny hail pellets.. snow like

peeves23 hasnt read the papers or watched the news in, ooh, two weeks... i love the holidays

 gypsycaine says, ...test...

irene8888 says, hello??????????

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Irene

p_dumbledore says, Hi Irene

peeves23 says, hi

irene8888 says, major lag

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, No, they were carried away by a tornado

 gypsycaine says, as silence crawls across the land...

brooksindy says, Is Neil actually here? Does not show up on my chatters window also I think it was not lag, just nobody could think of anythiing to say

irene8888 says, so is anyone at the egroups chatroom?

p_dumbledore says, He apparated out of the chat

dejavu112 says, I just checked, no one is in there

? babynick34 says, Snow in Summer - http://news6.thdo.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid%5F890000/890338.stm

brooksindy says, He never showed up at all & I did not get a *** has joined the room.

jenP_97 enters

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, About Astronomy, which is a majorly required subject at Hogwarts, and Harry wanted to buy a real-time model of the whole moving galaxy, and Dumbledore's watch shows this solar system's planets in real time

 gypsycaine says, i didn't get the joined, just the fact he was "in chat"

? jenP_97 says, tadaaaaa

brooksindy says, WB, J.

? babynick34 says, Yes... Dumbledore does have a watch like that doesn't he.

blaise_42 says, they're better at astronomy than muggles are

gypsycaine «æ¥æ»HELLO«æ¥æ»

brooksindy says, But not better than the Centaurs...

? jenP_97 says, now what do I do?

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I had been thinking that the Astronomy was for astrological purposes: the spell is affected by the planetary influences at the time it is cast

irene8888 says, do about cheetachat?

blaise_42 says, It might well be

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, But Astrology is taught under Professor Trelawney's Divination

blaise_42 says, though they do seem to study astrology in divination, and JKR doesn't think highly of it

? jenP_97 says, hmmm... I'll be right back.

gypsycaine . o O ( welp, to fiddle with colors, click on the paint palate at the top )

dee_97527 leaves

? babynick34 says, It was a very odd watch. It had twelve hands but no numbers; instead, little planets were moving around the edge. 

? babynick34 says, First metioned in PS/SS

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think the hands were pushing the little planets around

brooksindy says, was it ever mentioned again?

gypsycaine . o O ( oh, that's weird. )

irene8888 says, no one really seems to have the conventional clock or watch..except for HP himself..his muggle watch

gypsycaine . o O ( since i have cheeta open, it won't let me open egroups chat room )

? babynick34 says, Mentioned again in GoF I think

blaise_42 says, yes, there was that interesting clock in the Weasley's house

 gypsycaine says, the twins have watches.

peeves23 says, ps

peeves23 says, that clock rules

peeves23 says, and those mirrors...

p_dumbledore says, Does it still work (HP's watch) didn't it get wiped out from water

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, It reminds of a very odd Muggle watch I saw in a store ; black face with no numbers or anything, and blacks hands but a shining dot on the tip of each hand seemed to be circling on its own

 gypsycaine says, they glanced at them before pulling percy to the family table... (For once you're going to sit with us)

irene8888 says, what sort of watch did they have?

? babynick34 says, centaur , in Greek mythology, creature, half man and half horse. 

blaise_42 says, yes, that's right

blaise_42 says, and they're supposed to be very wise

 gypsycaine says, the centaurs depended on astonomy a bit too much.

brooksindy says, One taught Hercules.

brooksindy says, Hmmm. Achilles was Hermione's first husband.

? babynick34 says, Chiron is now the constellation Sagittarius

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, The other centaurs are shown as uneducated, altho' I think we only see them when they get drunk and start raping the other party guests

dee_97527 says, Howdy all

 gypsycaine says, which profile peeves?

peeves23 says, yahoo one

blaise_42 says, the oath is Hippocrates, not Aslepius

Your buddy flying_ford_anglia is in chat

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, The cadeucus is the staff of Hermes, sign that he is messenger of the Olympians, and used when he leads dead souls to the next world.

 gypsycaine says, you are good!

irene8888 says, you can check your profile right here

 gypsycaine says, go Rita!

? babynick34 says, Where did the Snakes bit come from... I'm lost.

irene8888 says, click on your name

blaise_42 says, there are snakes on the caduceus

Your buddy flying_ford_anglia leaves chat

brooksindy says, Oath is hippocratic after hippocratus. (I grew up around hospitals)

irene8888 says, right clilck on your name

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, The cadeucus with two snakes is a picture of when the sage Tiresias saw two snakes mating and separated them with a stick, as punishment he was turned into a woman

peeves23 says, never knew that Hermes lead the dead souls into the next world?

blaise_42 says, he doesn't always. Iris takes Dido down

 gypsycaine says, i know disney's overrate, but I did like their version of Hermes...

Your buddy flying_ford_anglia is in chat

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Seven years later, he saw snakes making again and strategically separated them with another stick in order to be turned back into a man

Your buddy flying_ford_anglia leaves chat

 gypsycaine tosses a "D" up there.

peeves23 says, aha, I've found it

aberforths_goat says, Hi everyone!

flying_ford_anglia enters

gypsycaine enters, Handing out roses @---}---}---

irene8888 says, your colors are wild

 gypsycaine says, enough with the greetings.

brooksindy says, can't read the yellow.

peeves23 says, gypsycaine, that yellow is unreadable 

aberforths_goat says, Where are these wild colors coming from??

dee_97527 says, Howdy Penny

irene8888 says, cheetachat

 gypsycaine says, macros.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, But I've seen gardening books say that Iris lead the souls of women while Hermes led the souls of men, therefoe iris flowers were shown on women;s tombstones

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Blaise, is there any truth to that, were there even tombstones?

? jenP_97 says, ack.... finally

brooksindy says, Japanese robot aircraft? (Macros)

p_dumbledore says, Mike, I was surprised to find that you were a Maganimal ?? That is a bit of a wizarding trick

blaise_42 says, I don't know, hang on a sec and I'll look it up

? jenP_97 says, sorry - my computer is throwing up at me.

aberforths_goat says, Actually, it's an animal trick.

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee, the 'hugging all 'goes with Tigger's bounce bounce bounce

? jenP_97 says, that's not too far off, brooks.

plinsenmayer says, hi! Did anyone try the egroups chat or did we blow it off?

blaise_42 says, well, it doesn't say anything about leading women's souls down, and I've not heard of it before. Iris is the messenger of the gods and she's symbolised by the rainbow.

brooksindy says, And the most fortunate thing about Tiggers is he's the only one.

blaise_42 says, or rather, one of the messengers of the gods

blaise_42 says, but there were definitely tombstones because I've seen them

irene8888 says, no one's in the egroup chatroom..i just checked

 gypsycaine says, I sent out a post about it Penny.

peeves23 says, i was tehre earlier

? jenP_97 says, I think I heard it was bad.

peeves23 says, its a bit cack, to be honest

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, As far as I can tell, it was the Hellenes who named the iris flower (said to be native to Turkey) after their rainbow goddess?

? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Not a modern invention?

plinsenmayer says, Ok, so we want to stick with the Yahoo chat then?

peeves23 says, good move, I think

irene8888 says, i think yahoo chat is better

angeliquestill is now away.

aberforths_goat says, Seems like a good idea to me.

 gypsycaine says, it's like a step backwards in technology.

blaise_42 says, I'm not sure when the flower was named

irene8888 says, plus cheetachat doesn't work on egroups

? babynick34 says, Yahoo is better, can use Cheeta with it

brooksindy says, Penny, the Egroups chat would not even start up for us mac users.

 gypsycaine says, esp with everyone getting cheeta... grins. wickedly.

aberforths_goat says, What in the name of a name is cheetachat?

 gypsycaine says, www.cheetachat.com

blaise_42 says, but tombstones are ancient. their inscriptions are really useful if you're an archaeologist

dejavu112 is back.

dejavu112 says, And we can't not have cheetachat

irene8888 says, well...i think the portkeys works for those who can't apparate

peeves23 says, why did you bonk me, by the way? was it jsut a random bonking or something else? (and I take it you're using the american meaning of the word "bonk" rather than the english one. ;-) )
