I looked at the Yahoo page about 1pm my toime and saw you were only

heart surgery.  Diann still loves them steaks..
€  gypsycaine says, the american vegetables aren't much better.

sometimes.

€  gypsycaine says, yes.  I am lucky, my cholesterol scared my 
doctor.  He looked at my diet (horrid) then at the levels (low) and 
then looked again.  I should have horrid cholesterol and high bp 
(low, btw)

but few in chat.  maybe yahoo is not letting 'em in.

€  gypsycaine says, ok, that over....
€  gypsycaine says, I guess we should be talking about chapter 11.
€  gypsycaine says, The reaction of Draco to the robes is exactly
why 
I think Molly should have de-laced the robes.
foxdancer16 says, yes
+ p_dumbledore says, Yes, a simple de-lacing charm 
€  gypsycaine says, if you can peel potatoes with a charm, 
then "unsewing" should be a snap.  If not, I own a seam ripper.

foxdancer16 says, on the pig?

foxdancer16 says, He's fluffy, cute, easily portable, loyal, a good 
worker, and has a personality

€  gypsycaine says, is Pig hyperactive?
brooksindy is back.
brooksindy says, Hyperactive - yes and no - it is apparently real, as 
real cases have differnt brain actibiy in brainscans.  overdiganosed -
 yes.
brooksindy says, activity
foxdancer16 says, that's what I meant, yeah.
foxdancer16 says, Pig is hyperactive, though, I agree.
+ p_dumbledore says, It's todays replacement for Paragoric (tinture 
of Opium) used back in the 40's and 50's calms down those kiddies.
€  gypsycaine says, he reminds me of a rubber ball thrown against
a 
wall that just bounces too and from.
€  gypsycaine says, opium?
foxdancer16 says, a squash ball, maybe - same size, and bounds across 
the room
€  gypsycaine says, raquetball, here
+ p_dumbledore says, Yes.. opium!  
jferer says, I was gone for a minute, missed it.
foxdancer16 says, btw, Dee, you won't want to read my English 
assignment - I don't get this poem.

needed 
to be.
jferer says, The energy may serve her well in later life.
brooksindy says, I know a kid who could use ritalin, yes....
€  gypsycaine says, do you think Hermione is hyperactive?
foxdancer16 says, no
foxdancer16 says, overly singleminded, perhaps...
+ p_dumbledore says, No just very curious about everything.

more, but she has control of herself.

Trunk', or whatever the title was?

one for the rest of his life, and therefore decides to marry Hedwig

That's not cliche, that's just odd.

jferer is back.
jferer says, And think about Cho as he regurgitates a ferret skeleton.
brooksindy says, I think a ferret and a cat would be too een a match, 
even a big one.
foxdancer16 says, yes
brooksindy says, even, not een
foxdancer16 says, althoughI agree that if Harry ends up as any sort 
of critter, he'll be feline
foxdancer16 says, like Draco's white ferret fits him perfectly
triner2001 says, The amazing bouncing ferret--like Ron I enjoyed that 
image hugely
brooksindy says, Hmmm I can see it now - in the movie when Sirius is 
on in canine form, teh background music is Led Zeppelin's "Black dog"

people take a j/k pairing...
jferer says, and build from that something really off the wall...
jferer says, ...and forget it was j/k in the beginning.
€  gypsycaine says, like that McG/Hootch.  LOL!
jferer says, Yeah, that one was a hoot. We just don't know what they 
do for family at Hogwarts.
jferer says, There's likely to be apartments in the castle, Heaven 
knows there's lots of room.
jferer says, I do think the Snape/crush for Lily thing is likely 
enough.
jferer says, Another reason to hate James and *James's* son.
€  gypsycaine says, that sounded right... and so did Lily as
Slyth.
jferer says, I'm not convinced Lily is Slyth or anything else in 
particular....
€  gypsycaine says, it seems right... it's not about green eyes,
or 
the what not.
€  gypsycaine says, did they ever say what house James was in?
jferer says, she had courage for a Gryff, and intelligence for a 
Ravenclaw, and loyalty for a Huff.
€  gypsycaine says, i did a seek/find, but didn't find it.
jferer says, Hard to believe he was anything but a Gryff.
€  gypsycaine says, here's a thought.  Who said James had to
inherit, 
or even earn the money.  It could have been Lily.
hert0661isme enters
€  gypsycaine says, hi
jferer says, Do you have the books in some machine format? I'd love 
to be able to search.
jferer says, Hi, Hert!
€  gypsycaine says, yes, thanks to Nick.  He sent them to me,
since I 
already have several copies anyway.
€  gypsycaine says, do you icq, Jim?
hert0661isme says, Hello - thought I would say hi for a minute or two!
€  gypsycaine says, hi hi.
€  gypsycaine says, Hope you say more than Hi, though...
€  gypsycaine says, Hi
€  gypsycaine says,  could get boring.
hert0661isme says, Well I could probably do more than say hi
hert0661isme says, Does this mean you have copies of the book for 
computer use?
€  gypsycaine grins.
€  gypsycaine says, yes,
€  gypsycaine says, but only if you have copies already papered.
Must 
maintain copyrights, mustn't we?
hert0661isme says, I was wondering about that
hert0661isme says, Are the documents large?
€  gypsycaine says, i used them to search, cause I swore Hagrid 
mentions the houses of Lily and James.
€  gypsycaine says, PoA is 600+
€  gypsycaine says, the rest are less. (KB)
hert0661isme says, not that I know of - he does say theu are head boy 
and girl
€  gypsycaine says, took about five minutes to icq them to someone
€  gypsycaine says, i didn't find it.  The first mention of Gryf
is 
when Ron is on the train.
hert0661isme says, how do you icq a document - i used to use icq but 
have not installed it onto this machine
€  gypsycaine says, it's easy.
€  gypsycaine says, dl icq, and i add you, and file transfer.
hert0661isme says, I will leave this a week - at the moment am on a 
56k modem and having to pay for call charges, next Sunday will be 
back to 10mbps net connection and no call charge
€  gypsycaine says, what's your email?
hert0661isme says, simon.branford at ...
hert0661isme says, icq #23591214 (but will not have it on my machine 
until next week
€  gypsycaine says, it's ok.
€  gypsycaine says, the first is out and emailed to you.
€  gypsycaine says, the icq has to wait for your approval.
€  gypsycaine says,  
hert0661isme says, I will approve once I get all my computer things 
sorted next weekend
Your buddy tremere_meerlinda has gone off pager
€  gypsycaine says, ok.
€  gypsycaine says, there you go--all three that I own are in
your 
box.
€  gypsycaine says, Don't have GoF, sorry.
€  gypsycaine says, jim?
hert0661isme says, that explains why my computer has slowed down! I 
am on an imap system so it may take a while
€  gypsycaine says, can your email hand large messages?
€  gypsycaine says, i sent them in three parts, Simon, to break
up 
the mail....
 hime_alyianna_kage is now away.
hert0661isme says, yes - have had a 600k file sent to it before now - 
but will take a while!
€  gypsycaine says, nick said something about obtaining GoF, but
I 
couldn't tell you what he said exactly.
hert0661isme says, that he is trying to I would guess
hert0661isme says, well some mail has been downloaded to my machine - 
just waiting for it to finish so I can have alook!
€  gypsycaine says, kewl
€  gypsycaine says, Jim, i looked at your profile, and emailed
them 
to you too.
hert0661isme says, amazing - they seem to have arrived ok
heiditandy enters
heiditandy says, hi! i am only here until harry wakes from his nap
€  gypsycaine says, hi!
€  gypsycaine says, Ian did...
heiditandy says, and I am at my parents, so no cheetachat for me!
€  gypsycaine says, we're in the "grumpy" post-nap stage.
€  gypsycaine says, chuckles at that.
hert0661isme says, also they are american version so I can look at 
differences!
heiditandy says, he wasn't grumpy before falling asleep today - just 
sleepy - hopefuly he'll rest for a few more minutes!
€  gypsycaine says, pardon?
heiditandy says, what've I missed? : )
jferer leaves
€  gypsycaine says, he got up from the nap grumpy.
€  gypsycaine says, alot of OT discussion.
€  gypsycaine says, there was an interesting line of Pig being 
hyperactive, and if Hermione was as well.
heiditandy says, hermione may just be perky & manifesting itself in 
an unusual way
heiditandy says, pig - definitely!
€  gypsycaine says, She's alot like myself, and I tried to cramp
in 
as much as possible (even over-scheduled my lunch hour my sophomore 
year)
hert0661isme says, Was the pardon aimed at me?
gypsycaine . o O ( yep )
€  gypsycaine says, i am hyper.  She cramped in HOW much during
CoS?
heiditandy says, every time in school that I overscheduled (high 
school, college & law school) I made up for it by becoming a 2nd term 
senior year slacker.
€  gypsycaine says, cramp = cram, but it has the same thoughts.
 nightfall06 is now away.
hert0661isme says, The files you sent me seem to be the american 
versions of the books. I can look at differences with the UK versions 
I have
€  gypsycaine says, ahhh
€  gypsycaine says, i guess i only have the american version.
heiditandy says, although I think if hermione ends up finding herself 
at the start of 7th year with too many credits, she'll do some 
apprenticeship-type thing instead of class
€  gypsycaine says, Jim Dale only reads the Am. right?
hert0661isme says, I believe so
€  gypsycaine says, there's still a few classes she will prolly
have 
to take--DADA prolly.
€  gypsycaine says, they have to introduce a new teacher
somewhere.
 hime_alyianna_kage is back.
hert0661isme says, Cool for me - it is good to see how the editors 
changed the books
heiditandy says, unless they end up having Harry teach it 7th year - 
if this keeps up he'll have enough experience to do so
Your buddy ladyadamned is on pager
€  gypsycaine chuckles.
hert0661isme says, I have got to be off - have FAQ's to write and 
need some sleep (have been staying up until 3am to watch the Olympics 
and then getting up before 9am)
heiditandy says, or sirius. I think I've seen some fanfics where he's 
teacvhing it.
heiditandy says, oh! gotta go baby up!
heiditandy leaves
 nightfall06 is back.
€  gypsycaine says, it's ok.
€  gypsycaine says, if no one else comes or goes, i will wrap up
this 
scroll, and send it out on the chatscripts egroup.
hert0661isme says, thanks for the files - nice to have a searchable 
copy - have had enough of trying to pinpoint quotes and then find 
them!
hert0661isme says, see you next week - unless I am stuck in the pub!
€  gypsycaine says, it'll be really nice for times like your 
discussion of ch.11 when GoF is done.
€  gypsycaine says, LOL
€  gypsycaine says, i want to be stuck in a pub.
€  gypsycaine says, they sound just so nice.
hert0661isme says, I could have done with it a few times when FAQ 
writing¬
Your buddy tria_andromeda_blade has gone off pager
€  gypsycaine says, talk to nick about it...

hert0661isme says, see you at some stage - simon
€  gypsycaine says, bb. and good luck going up to ox!
