€  '   harry_potter00 says, Ok where's everyone...not here yet
blaise_42 says, hi Dee
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Dee, we were just talking
about 
veela
  gypsycaine says, hi
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Hi
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Are you able to see chatscript
from 
before you entered?
  gypsycaine says, nope
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, I tried once on Yahoo Chat and it 
can't be done there
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, can it be done on Cheetah Chat
  gypsycaine says, nope
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I dodn't like the Veelas too much...
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, blaise_42 says, can you get male 
Veela?
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Oops didn't and one thing that suprised
be 
was that a Veela hair would be strong enough to support Fleurs wand
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, I €  '   catlady_de_los_angeles
says, 
There are no male Veela in the original folklore
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, €  '   catlady_de_los_angeles
says, In 
the folklore, they are sort of just there forever
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, €  '   catlady_de_los_angeles
says, and 
in the analysis, they are the spirits of girls who died before 
marriage and motherhood
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, €  '   catlady_de_los_angeles
says, but 
there was a discussion on one e-mail-list
€  '   harry_potter00 says, What is the Euro symbol for, Cheeta??
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, €  '   catlady_de_los_angeles
says, and 
some people insisted that JKR wouldn't have creatures who are just 
there forever, 
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, €  '   catlady_de_los_angeles
says, so I 
suggested that the veela grow on trees (they ARE called wood-nymphs 
and even dryads by some translators) 
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, blaise_42 says, Veela aren't much 
like classical wood-nymphs, more like Sirens
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Thatis what I thought of when I first
read 
about them
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Sirens that is..
blaise_42 says, brb
gypsycaine peers quizically off into space.
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes, the Euro symbol is for
Cheetah
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Cheetah puts it there, not me
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Thanks, I really should have known that...
gypsycaine . o O ( mom on phone. )
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Why don't you like Veelas much,
Scott?
gypsycaine paces around the room.
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee, why don't you caper around
room, 
instead?

future books

and delete and edit the ones i want. )

suspectible (like Ron, and Roger Davies, etc) to a veela (of the 
appropriate gender)?
  gypsycaine says, forgive the macros that are coming.

  gypsycaine says, scanned?
smitster1 says, Does everyone else have access to the .txt version of 
the books?
  gypsycaine blinks??? and listens....
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I have access but I think...
smitster1 says, Apparently, some nice child scanned in his 750 page 
book to share.
smitster1 says, It makes word searching much easier

  gypsycaine says, free form, or character sheet?

selah_1977 says, HP4GU files, please!
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm not a member of HAS - what is it?
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Goat
triner2001 says, ebony, how's school going?
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Baaaa!
flying_ford_anglia says, Pasta

gypsycaine :  |___|____|___|___|========> 
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hogwart Adult School is another
HP e-
group for us more or less grown-ups but it keeps not being all that 
active
selah_1977 says, Busy, Trina.  I'll try to chat next week... miss you 
guys!  See ya later!
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Well pasta's usually pretty good...
Your buddy tria_andromeda_blade has gone off pager
selah_1977 leaves
 plinsenmayer is now away.
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, By Ebony
triner2001 says, see ya Ebony!
flying_ford_anglia says, How long has that been going?
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Drat!  HAve I missed Ebony?
€  '   harry_potter00 says, she had to leave
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, bye, Ebony!
Your buddy lady_jade_ofthe_ironfang has gone off pager
flying_ford_anglia says, It's quick to cook
gypsycaine . o O ( i adooooooore pasta. )
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Ebony is still moving house --
she 
said: last week, and all week, and this weekend
flying_ford_anglia says, I'll share it out...
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Pasta is healthy, but it is pasta 
SAUCES, which are not always healthy, that I love
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Are we having pasta this evening?
blaise_42 says, Neil's cooking
€  '   jenP_97 says, I think it's a unanimous pasta night.
flying_ford_anglia says, Me too  - way too much olive oil in this one
triner2001 says, I had pasta for my lunch as well
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Are there special wizarding
pastsas 
and sauces?
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Hmmmm, with procuttio (sp?)  and cream
sauce, 
not on a diet.... 
€  '   jenP_97 says, The Three Sisters-shaped mac-n-cheese.  
blaise_42 says, we haven't seen any special wizarding food apart from 
sweets, have we?
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I imagine that Hogwarts serves pasta, 
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Olive oil is healthy -- prevents 
heart attacks and cancer -- cooked garlic prevent cancer and raw 
garlic reduces the risk of AIDS .... so I prefer cream sauces, LOL
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, We Maginamals like thistle & hey sauce
  gypsycaine says, love fettachini?
flying_ford_anglia says, I bet the House-Elves don't cook pasta - 
more like wild Boar and  kippers
flying_ford_anglia says, I like cream
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I think they probably have more
traditional 
food, but what would they have for breakfast.
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, When there is boullabaise at the 
Greeting Feast for Triwizard, Ron has never seen it before
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, and Hermione said she had it on 
holiday in France two years ago
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Aglio e Olio is one of the things that
makes 
human existence bearable
€  '   jenP_97 says, Fettucini Alfredo used to be my favorite, but I
ate 
too much of it in high school, so I got sick of it.
flying_ford_anglia says, I'd assume trad English food - treacle 
pudding, roast beef, etc
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, I have trouble believing that 
Hermione hasn't had boullabaise ven when not in France
Your buddy tria_andromeda_blade is on pager
€  '   harry_potter00 says, In the words of Jennifer Patterson "There
is 
nothing better than Cream..."
flying_ford_anglia says, Tripe, kidneys, haggis
triner2001 says, Why, Rita?
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, It's a totally normal thing to
have 
on the menu here, especially at seafood restaurants 
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, What is boule!@# anyway?  I don't do
French
flying_ford_anglia says, Jennifer Patterson died though
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, and mums who enoy cooking cook it
triner2001 says, I have never eaten it, although I do know what it is
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Yes, bless her...
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, boullabaise is a seafood stew 
(shellfish in broth) with a lot of garlic
€  '   jenP_97 says, yeah, but it was more the smoking than the cream 
sauces, I would think.  
flying_ford_anglia says, It's heard of, but not common here
Your buddy tria_andromeda_blade has gone off pager
€  '   jenP_97 says, I miss her.
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I really would think that Hermione would
know 
about boulabaise 
triner2001 says, Of course, my mom tended to make pinto beans and 
cornbread

€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hermione had it on holiday in
France 
summer before PoA
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I picture her as being cuturally aware of 
things like that...
flying_ford_anglia says, Her ateries must have been rock solid...
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, She said 'it's very good'
flying_ford_anglia says, arteries that is
€  '   jenP_97 says, My mom wasn't a big cooker.  She was a Kraft 
Macaroni and Cheese out of the box type of cook.
gypsycaine . o O ( is moving between computer and stove--mac and 
cheese. )
  gypsycaine says, LOL>>> that's what I am making Jen!
€  '   jenP_97 says, My dad was the cook.
€  '   jenP_97 says, hehe
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jen, that's why I said moms who
enjoy 
cooking
flying_ford_anglia says, My Mum was in the same category - she cooks 
frozen rice, from a bag!
triner2001 says, I had Pasta-roni out of a box for lunch
flying_ford_anglia says, What's that?
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Ron didn't believe Hermione
abaout 
the boullabaise, looked at it suspiciously, and had blood pudding 
instead
€  '   jenP_97 says, Oh yeah.  Boil-in-the-bag ANYTHING... especially 
S.O.S...
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, I have the following impression: Women
do 
most of humanity's cooking, but Men make most of the worst messes in 
the kitchen
flying_ford_anglia says, My Mum eats salads and peanuts - not much 
else...
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I think I would have passed up the blood 
pudding....
triner2001 says, Box dinner by the people who make Rice-a-roni
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, I am sure that was a JKR joke, as 
blood pudding (is it English? I thought it was Irish!) is 
DISGUSTING!!!!
triner2001 says, I was hungry and it was quick
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm none the wiser..
flying_ford_anglia says, Yes, it was a joke - giving up something 
that seems disgusting for something that really is disgusting
blaise_42 says, blood pudding is Scottish, isn't it?
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I just hadn't thought of it...
flying_ford_anglia says, I think Hermione will turn vegetarian in 
Book 5
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Neil, I gather that pasta-roni is
a 
brand name of dried pasta plus dried sauce that you mix with water 
and heat in the microwave 
flying_ford_anglia says, I think it can be English...
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, hmmm. could be she will turn
flying_ford_anglia says, Black Pudding
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Hmmm that is a good Idea, Hermione just
might
flying_ford_anglia says, White pudding (a variant)
blaise_42 says, I don't think she will
triner2001 says, yes it is, Rita although I did mine on the stove top
smitster1 is away (Auto-Away)
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Do you REALLY think Hermione will 
turn vegetarian, or just want the publicity for your cause?
€  '   jenP_97 says, hehehe
flying_ford_anglia says, LOL
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, ?  Is Neil a vegy?
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, If yes, will she make Crookshanks 
turn vegetarian, too? It's not healthy for cats.
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I don't know I have a veggie friend and
once 
she got a Piece of cheese instead of fried chicken and chips so I 
don't think  it would be very appetizing
€  '   jenP_97 says, My friends had someone try to turn their cats 
vegetarian...
triner2001 says, And some people try to do it, too, Rita
flying_ford_anglia says, No, she is in the mood for taking up 
causes.  I reckon they'll serve up some sort of cooked Hippgriff or 
something and she'll freak
blaise_42 says, I think that JKR is making her points about 
supporting causes with made-up ones like the House Elves deliberately 
rather than take real-life ones
flying_ford_anglia says, I am a vegetable, yes
€  '   jenP_97 says, it would just get too controversial if she put
it in 
there...
 ladyadamned is now away.
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, What kind?
flying_ford_anglia says, How so?
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Black pudding is what the Irish 
bar&grills  in NYC called it, and Blood pudding is what the German 
reatuarants called it 
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm a courgette
€  '   jenP_97 says, The Texas Beef people would be supporting
banning 
the books because of those damn hippie themes...  
Your buddy ladyadamned has gone off pager
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, what do you plan white pudding to
be?
blaise_42 says, it's not because of the banning so much, I don't 
suppose
triner2001 says, a corgette? enlighten me please!
gypsycaine . o O ( sorry, back )
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Not another one of those Oprah 
lawsuits....PLEASE!
gypsycaine . o O ( had a small fire... )
€  '   jenP_97 says, its a zuchinni (sp??)
flying_ford_anglia says, Blood sausage is more Scottish I think - 
there was a band called that, From Glasgow, I think
gypsycaine . o O ( that's what i get for cooking.  Now nuking 
instead. )
flying_ford_anglia says, zucchini, yes
€  '   jenP_97 says, well, a summer squash in general.  right?
€  '   jenP_97 says, two cs.
€  '   jenP_97 says, boy, I just can't spell tonight.
€  '   jenP_97 says, er - this afternoon.
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Zucchini. LIke the book, why 
zucchinis are better than men?
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I'll be a Spring Onion....but who's
asking.
flying_ford_anglia says, I could be a squash, if you sit next to me 
on the bus
€  '   jenP_97 says, I thought that was cucumbers.
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, LOL
€  '   jenP_97 says, Zucchinis are too spiny.  
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, cucs and zuchs are related, I believe
flying_ford_anglia says, They can be hairy - but they can be shaved
€  '   jenP_97 says, lol
triner2001 says, and we need something smooth, Jen?
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, spring onion = green onion  = 
scallion???
flying_ford_anglia says, Marrows are like big courgettes
triner2001 says, ;^)
Your buddy nikii_16 has gone off pager
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Right, y fvourite kind.
€  '   harry_potter00 says, my
blaise_42 says, a spring onion is a scallion, I think
  gypsycaine is going to upload "I love onions" next to her website.
flying_ford_anglia says, Catlady - yes
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, I thought scallions are smaller
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Hi Blaise
  gypsycaine hates them, tho,

blaise_42 says, I had to and extract a giant spider from my room
flying_ford_anglia says, Salad onions - now they are available all 
year round you can't call them Spring onions
smitster1 is back.
smitster1 says, Has anyone commented on Yahoo Message #7818?  This is 
a message from Penny's ID to Penny authored by "Nancy."  I was very 
confused regarding who wrote the thing.
flying_ford_anglia says, I saw that - weird
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Agatha Christie was alwaysgonig
on 
about Vegetable Marrows
  gypsycaine says, didn't Penny have two id's?
flying_ford_anglia says, Was it penny's babysitter using her machine?
€  '   jenP_97 says, no, that was melanie
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, I dont' know what they are, but
they 
sound like Pumpkins
smitster1 says, That's be funny!
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, I think someone was trying to contact her
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Well someone did...
flying_ford_anglia says, If so she was talking to herself!
blaise_42 says, Scott, I don't have school any more...
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Quick question: I'm to  write up 
the "resident ghosts" this week.  Does that include Peeves?
€  '   harry_potter00 says, hmm, college then??
flying_ford_anglia says, Trying to find herself, i think
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Giant spider Aragog?
flying_ford_anglia says, I'd say so Mike
smitster1 says, Yes.  Peeves is a ghost.  Polties are ghosts
blaise_42 says, it might have been one of Aragog's relatives
flying_ford_anglia says, He's not included elsewhere
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, But he *isn't* a proper gohst, you
know...
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Goat, write up Peeves adn expalin 
that he isn't really a ghost but people will look for him in the 
Ghost section
€  '   jenP_97 says, I'd assume it'd include Peeves, but you should
make 
a special note saying that he's technically a poltergeist, just to 
appease the literalists out there.
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, OK
€  '   harry_potter00 says, maybe the one that Attacked Harry in GoF
triner2001 says, Resident spirits, so Peeves would count
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Spirits, eh.  But humans are spirits, 
too ....
€  '   harry_potter00 says, He's not Human so he would count I
think...
flying_ford_anglia says, Residents from the other side - to be 
politically correct
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, I love semantics ...
smitster1 says, Why isn't a poltergeist a ghost?
triner2001 says, a non-corporal being, how's that?
  gypsycaine says, moaning myrtle...
flying_ford_anglia says, Corporeally-challenged beings
blaise_42 says, how about disembodied spirits, Mike?
  gypsycaine says, grins...hears beeping and goes to check again.
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, OK, OK
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Poltergeist isn't a dead formerly 
living person 
smitster1 says, Poltergeist - a ghost supposed to be responsible for 
mysterious nosy disturbances.
triner2001 says, Dee, please don't set your house on fire
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, didn't use to have a body
flying_ford_anglia says, Quite
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, I'll add all of these comments of course
smitster1 says, Yippe!  I'm historic
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, hysterical?
flying_ford_anglia says, You'll need 16 posts to do it justice
flying_ford_anglia says, Uh?
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, I missheard
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, English has more words than any 
language because we steal them from every language, and therefore can 
makes lots of distinctions
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, that other languages would have
to do 
with adjectives
€  '   jenP_97 says, oh, we don't steal them.  We borrow.
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Odd how other purists of other languages 
getty shirty about using English loan words
triner2001 says, and incorporate them into English
€  '   jenP_97 says, (that's the technical term, too)
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, so we can have 'spirit' from
Latin 
(Jen, we aren't giving it back to Latin!) and 'ghost' from German 
side of the family
€  '   jenP_97 says, hehe
smitster1 says, Not to beat a dead horse.  but in CS talk, A ghost is 
a generalization of poltergeist from the definition I read.
€  '   jenP_97 says, I didn't say it was ACCURATE.  
triner2001 says, CS?
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, CS?
blaise_42 says, Chamber of Secrets
gypsycaine . o O ( it only happens when I cook, I'm ok when I nuke 
stuff. )
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Well I think about "Shadows" in mythology
...
smitster1 says, Computer Science--sorry.  Thought Dee whould get that 
one
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, that mean the same thing (e.g.
Holy 
Ghost) and turn them into specificities that mean different things
gypsycaine . o O ( get what??? )
  gypsycaine is eating?
wizardgluck enters
triner2001 says, She was off puttingout flames in her kitchen
flying_ford_anglia says, Should I add cheese to this thing or take my 
diet seriously?
smitster1 says, I'm confused--who's the Cobal writter?  Dee or Rita?  
So confused.
flying_ford_anglia says, Both
  gypsycaine says, Paul, the answer is YES!
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Happy wizard?  Hi!
blaise_42 says, what's Cobal?
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Cobal?
wizardgluck says, Hello

smitster1 says, Hi
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Hi
flying_ford_anglia says, Hello Wizard
triner2001 says, Hello, Wizard
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Are you German?
  gypsycaine says, ancient language.
wizardgluck says, How often do you meet
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, COBOL -- CO Business Oriented
Language
€  '   jenP_97 says, Was Cobol the one written by the woman?
flying_ford_anglia says, Once a week
  gypsycaine says, looks like:  10 NAME-OF-FIELD             PIC X
(20).
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Grace Hopper gets the credit for 
inventing it 
smitster1 says, Yes.  She died a couple years back.  Grace Hopper
flying_ford_anglia says, Not Grasshopper?
smitster1 says, Althought, I had a teacher that
smitster1 says, EXACTLY!!!
gypsycaine takes her couch pillow and bonks it alongside Neil's head 
so hard the feathers fly in the air, and down into the popcans below.
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, She also gets credit for
inventing 
the computer term 'bug'
€  '   harry_potter00 says, The less "languages" that I have to learn
the 
better
€  '   jenP_97 says, I remember in one of my linguistics classes that
we 
were talking about how only one computer programming language had 
been written by a woman - 
smitster1 says, We must have had the same professor!
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Say, has anyone mangaed to make Neil
stop 
taking Dubledore's name in vain?
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, He said he doesn't want to hear
any 
more about Dumbo!!!
€  '   jenP_97 says, and it was the only language that ever "made 
sense"...
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, tsk, tsk
flying_ford_anglia says, They tried... some new people were on my case
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Shhh, so more about Dumbly
  gypsycaine says, cobol make sense?
  gypsycaine blinks?
wizardgluck says, I got a wuestion
wizardgluck says, question
€  '   jenP_97 says, in a linguistic way, I mean.
smitster1 says, answer
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, go for it wiz
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jen, it is called an English-like 
language. Is that why it makes sense to you?,
wizardgluck says, I went to this site and they said Harry had a 
middle name
€  '   harry_potter00 says, James
blaise_42 says, yes, JKR says so in one of the interviews
wizardgluck says, When did they mention that
€  '   jenP_97 says, I didn't say it made sense to me.  I mean it was
the 
only one that ever followed a natural linguistic pattern.
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Err that's his middle name
€  '   jenP_97 says, It's in the Barnes and Noble (dot com) interview
- 
when she's speaking about PoA.
gypsycaine . o O ( still like it better than RPG/AS400 )
wizardgluck says, oh thanks
dobby_the_sock_lovin_elf enters
  gypsycaine sneaks over to sit beside Neil.
€  '   Aberforths_Goat says, Say is there going to be a collection of 
interview links in the FAQ?
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, When I was in IIR 10th grade, the 
Navy repealed their rule about givin a woman a rank higer than Captin
€  '   harry_potter00 says, JKR said it, like Blaise saud but it
isn't in 
the book
€  '   jenP_97 says, just go to bn.com and go to their Harry Potter 
Store, then click on the link to the interview with JKR about 
Prizoner of Azkaban.  
blaise_42 says, hi dobby
€  '   harry_potter00 says, Hi
  gypsycaine whispers "Dumbledore" in his ear.
  gypsycaine runs away like mad!

promosted to Admiral

wizardgluck says, thanks
€  '   harry_potter00 says, When is that companion book coming
out....we 
sure do need it
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, the head of all the WAVES, the
head

wizardgluck smiles happily

harry_potter00 chuckles in amusement.

  gypsycaine chuckles....  Never knew that Rita.
flying_ford_anglia says, No, it's a retractable maypole, but I have 
it over my shoulder
  gypsycaine says, wrong month, tho..
triner2001 gets a grass-flavored one   blech!
dobby_the_sock_lovin_elf leaves

flying_ford_anglia says, Yes - for me, it's May all year round

gypsycaine bounces around.

€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, They are following the opinion of 
someone whose opinion they trust
  gypsycaine says, yah, like Jerry Falwell?
  gypsycaine says, who thinks Tinky Winky is gay?
€  '   jenP_97 says, you may not trust him, but there are other
people 
out there who do.

Don't

authority who are misinformed and misguided - but many people still 
trust them.
selah_1977 says, I don't like him much.
€  '   harry_potter00 says, I really don't think that he is an
accurate 
potrayal of most of us...
  gypsycaine says, I'll say this, and move, on, no debating, but 
that's the problem with the elections this year..too many idiots.  I 
wish the plant was running for president.
selah_1977 says, He isn't, Scott...
selah_1977 says, The PLANT??
triner2001 says, The plant?

HP, 
but I'll post that later
  gypsycaine says, or something.
€  '   harry_potter00 says, oops
  gypsycaine says, it's a potted tree.
  gypsycaine says, and it's serious.

a 
cactus -- 
selah_1977 says, The HP for president people are on to something, 
IMO...

  gypsycaine says, that's it!
  gypsycaine says, Thanks Rita!

make 
me want to be British!
selah_1977 says, Do we NEED a president?
smitster1 says, To get a new one, just don't water the old one.

  gypsycaine says, He's been in since I was born. (32)
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, who iw REgula?

selah_1977 says, Might be nice to know something about wizard 
politics... though if you look at Fudge, they seem as clueless as we
smitster1 says, But British politicians are very funny to 
watch .... "As my learned collegue from Sussex...."
€  '   jenP_97 says, I was just reading today about how all the 
politicians are spouting off about public schools and such, and then 
go send their kids to private schools.
smitster1 says, Or whatever
flying_ford_anglia says, Tony Blair used to be in a rock band - 
Clinton played the sax.  Take yer pick..
  gypsycaine says, not surprised.
selah_1977 says, Jen, public school teachers do that!

  gypsycaine says, Fudge is rather interesting.
€  '   jenP_97 says, I know.  
selah_1977 says, I actually will miss Clinton, I think.
  gypsycaine says, If Couch was up for MoM?
Your buddy traitorknight has gone off pager

when 
it's time for Ginger to start school, I'm going to homeschool her.
selah_1977 says, Dee, didn't a scandal stop Crouch Sr.
selah_1977 says, ?
 traitorknight is now away.
€  '   harry_potter00 says, And in PoA  Fudge contacts the Muggles
gov.'t 
about Sirius... so are they supposed to be aware of the wizarding 
world?
flying_ford_anglia says, I think the MoM is about like a village 
social club.  The same people run it for years until they die or get 
killed by an evildoer...
€  '   jenP_97 says, And I'm a teacher, too... it's all the insider 
information that leads me to make that decision.
flying_ford_anglia says, a bit like... duh!
  gypsycaine says, that's where I was heading Neil.
  gypsycaine says, thanks.
selah_1977 says, LOL Neil--and Jen, I'd like to be a stay at home mom 
when the time comes.  I'm not sure about homeschooling, though...
€  '   catlady_de_los_angeles says, Maybe in wizard politics it is 
official that the jobs (including Minister) are handed out by the 
guys in the clubhouse (smoke filled room)

smitster1 says, I will catch you all in the chat archives.  Be on the

triner2001 says, I know, Ebony, I'd have doubts on my abilities to 
teach math
flying_ford_anglia says, Are there any women in the MoM? No shattered 
glass ceiling there methinks.
  gypsycaine says, i could do math, but geography kills me.
flying_ford_anglia says, Bye
selah_1977 says, I've taught math--but I'm not sure I could teach 
primary school myself.
€  '   jenP_97 says, Although, I'd only be comfortable teaching them 
through 6th grade.... I don't want to deal with trig and geometry.  
  gypsycaine says, no conception of what the counties in Ohio are.
  gypsycaine says, got a D in that class.
triner2001 says, exactly, once things got complicated, I'd be lost
€  '   jenP_97 says, I'm sure I could do a better job than these
nitwits
