  catlady_de_los_angeles says, What it matters what pgm you use is that Cheetah lets us play with colors and put little pictures beside our names and lets us save the chat transcript as a file
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, go to "manage favorite or manage rooms"
bludger_witch leaves
bludger_witch enters
Your buddy phoenix_lance_blade is on pager
lavenderchick49503 says, so should i go to Cheetah?

bludger_witch leaves
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and so when a person gives up on  one pgm, they switch to the other for a while
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, it would not let me in as Doreen_Iowa
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, said I could not join that room
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, am I banned somewhere?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Is Doreen_Iowa listed as a member? I think there is some business about cross-linking Yahoo ID to egroups membership?
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, oh .. maybe it was the un-grp one
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, I am listed under both names ... and also as MsMuggles
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, speaking of transcripts, I need to go find the transcript warning
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, but then I decided I didnt LIKE being a Muggle

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, his middle initial.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, we must invent something really awful for it to stand for 
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, sjbranford where are you from?
sjbranford says, I do not reveal my second name - do not like it so just use the initial
bludger_witch says, Geez, I figured that. But what does it stand for?
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, but where are you from?
bludger_witch says, Oh, sorry
  Minzzer says, Can it go with Hedwig?

  Corn_Patch_Witch says, last week, my UK friend sent me a can of Spotted Dick
slytherin_daughter says, that sounds....fun.
bludger_witch says, lol
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, is nippy anything like swotty?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, spotted dick is a pudding made of flour & lard with raisins mixed in. the raisins are the spots
slytherin_daughter says, Ohhhhh
slytherin_daughter says, I thought.... Oh, never mind.
  Minzzer says, shows how little Minzzer knows
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, sometimes they call it spotted dog 
bludger_witch says, Do we want to know what you thought?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, In USA, nippy is an adjective for weather which is a lttle bit cold
bludger_witch says, Knowing you, probably not >eg>
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, LOL never mind .. he meant snippy
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, the Brits have these horrible names for things on purpose to tease Yanks
slytherin_daughter says, Of course you don't. Just use your imagination and you'll be fine.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, In USA, snippy means snotty (stuck up)

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, special ffnet problem?
  Minzzer says, but Mins not a Yank she's a southerner
bludger_witch says, If I go to a story and click on "Save", Explorere and loads of other programs just shut down  
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, to Brits, all USAns and many Canadians are Yanks 
bludger_witch says, I have to copy and paste to Word
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, if the Brit in question is a Scot, we can return the favor by calling him English
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I never tried Save on ffnet
  Minzzer says, bad ffnet
catlady_de_los_angeles agrees whole-heartedly.

  Minzzer says, how can all those famous authors stand all the email they get?
lavenderchick49503 says, do they let common people have their address?
lavenderchick49503 says, i wouldn't if i was famous
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, does WHO let common people have their address?
sjbranford says, cass gives out her address
lavenderchick49503 says, i have enough problems just with the trash i get sent
  Minzzer says, huh...I just want to know how people can stand being bombarded with email?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Some famous people give out an e-mail address that is read by an employee who sends form letter replies
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, for a long time, many famous people gave out their e-dress because e-mail was a kind of rare thing, not like now
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Cass doesn't admit she's famous
lavenderchick49503 says, my exboyfriend put my name on every mailing list he could find, that was a pain
  Minzzer says, personally I have a website and then it went down for a week...I had to start sending automated email because I couldn't sit down and do it myself and that was only for a week. yikes!
bludger_witch says, oh, how nice. seems like a real pal
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, YOu can set your e-mail box to reject everything that doesn't come from a short list of names
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, when you change BF .. you should change email address too >)
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, LOL  
  Minzzer says, I'm guessing that's why he's our exboyfriend
lavenderchick49503 says, that is correct
lavenderchick49503 says, not exactly though
  Minzzer says, Cass is famous whether or not she believes it
sjbranford says, I have a range of e-mail address and give out differetn ones to different people
lavenderchick49503 says, you too?/
sjbranford says, tell Cass that if she gets here later
  Minzzer says, I have many email addresses too
  Minzzer says, they come in handy
sjbranford says, I use a lot of web forwarding accounts, so if one is being spammed I can drop it and set up anotehr
lavenderchick49503 says, allright, i must bid you all adiou, i must leave for work now

Your buddy siriusgeologist is in chat
siriusgeologist enters
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, that requires the person actually being a friend/associate, who will refer to something the two of you did or discussed recently. 
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, HI< Carole!!!!!
bludger_witch says, Hi!

  Corn_Patch_Witch says, Try the Yahoo!
  Minzzer says, bad yahoo?
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, etc
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes, Yahoo sticks in ads for itself
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, occasionally someone even manages to stick in an ad for porn
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I mean in the chat, not just a PM
  Minzzer says, since Minzzer is confused already...how many minutes is a thousand seconds?
bludger_witch says, Oh, yeah. But what I find worse is all those slimy porn ads you get over ICQ

siriusgeologist says, math is your friend!  its fun, fun, fun!!!
Your buddy plinsenmayer is on pager
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, this is arithmetic not math
siriusgeologist says, true
slytherin_daughter says, Math is Satan Speak. It comes from the bowels of hell.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, math is a conspiracy to drive me crazy
siriusgeologist says, I loved math...I write math study guides for a living
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, If math is Satan Speak, surely Slytherin Spawn should like it?
slytherin_daughter says, It is used to make us all go mad. *whimpers*
quill_and_feather enters
slytherin_daughter says, *gape* How can you *do* that, Carole?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, hi, Quill
  Minzzer says, math is not a term that is friendly with Minzzer
quill_and_feather says, Hi Cathy! Hi everyone!!!  
  Minzzer says, hi
siriusgeologist says, it can be very boring...somtimes...but I do like the explanations
bludger_witch says, hgi
slytherin_daughter groans loudly
  Minzzer says, How? is the question...I can't even stand math homework
quill_and_feather says, I just finished reading CoS for the eight time...and does anyone notice something? Most books you read again, and they're boring...HP isn't...it just keeps getting better..
siriusgeologist says, this is 8th grade math...what I really liked was calculus and differential equations
siriusgeologist says, math homework was alays my favorite
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I HATE HATE HATE CALCULUS!!!!!
  Minzzer says, someone please give Minzzer the permission to start screaming
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, I think that is because we are not only reading what is written there, but inputting all the info from the list as we go too
quill_and_feather says, Calculus is evil....
slytherin_daughter says, *wrinkles nose* I do better with history, english, latin, etc.
bludger_witch says, Evil stuff, really. And it gets worse. Is "Stochastik" a word that exists in the english language?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, take the K off the end
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, and seeing what nobody has talked about yet ... which gets harder to do 
quill_and_feather says, That's true, Corn Patch, cus we see things that we didn't before..
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, There is a novel (Robert Bloch?( titled the Stochastic Man 
bludger_witch says, The worst is "Infinitesimal"-maths. The word alone makes me shiver!
siriusgeologist says, when I was in school I hated english and writing in particular
bludger_witch says, No, those are my favorite subjects
slytherin_daughter says, infinitesimal - vocab word, 7th grade. See, I'm just that sort of person.
selah_1977 says, Yes, HP is better and better after the 32nd re-read... I'm re-reading PoA and giggling all over again!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, School teachers do their best to ruin literature and writing
siriusgeologist says, yech!
slytherin_daughter says, I only read PoA and CoS one time through...
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, I just started my UK versions and I am LOVING it!!
  Minzzer says, i'll read but analyze in a classroom is horror
slytherin_daughter says, But I read PS and GoF a million times.
slytherin_daughter says, and it does get better.
quill_and_feather says, Are the UK versions different?
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, not a lot
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, a word here and there
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, they say torch instead of flashlight
sineadsiobhan enters

slytherin_daughter says, Sinead!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, The UK versions have some words changed, most in Book 1 and least in Book 4. A few different typoes. And the UK ones don't have the Mary Grandpre interior art.
bludger_witch says, Hi Sinead.
quill_and_feather says, Hello Sinead!
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, and she said whilst instead of while
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Sinead

bludger_witch says, But where to find it?
siriusgeologist says, welcome...
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, who?
bludger_witch says, Don't rely on Spooky Mulder, he doesn't have a clue
sineadsiobhan says, lots of corn patches in the midwest   (Lives in MN on free time)
slytherin_daughter says, I've never seen a corn patch. I feel so deprived.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think quill_and_feather was here under that name lasat week, too. 
quill_and_feather says, I was on last week for a bit, but now I'm more used to the list, etc..

slytherin_daughter says, flaxen waves of corn...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, crowswolf -- wonders if he is a werewolf
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, it literally looks like a golden ocean of waves
  catlady_de_los_angeles hugs Quill 
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, ummm no ... very green waves of corn
quill_and_feather says, Yeah, that's my email...Crows are the bird I identify with ( I went on a vision quest two years ago) and Wolf is my middle name...
slytherin_daughter says, *sniff* I'll make a note to look for wheat and corn when I pass through the mid west.
quill_and_feather says, Hugs Catlady!
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, and corn doesnt wave so much as it just stands there and stalks you
sineadsiobhan says, hee he... I like living here, more excitement  
slytherin_daughter says, stalks you? <g>
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, sorry .. couldnt resist
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, the neatest thing about corn is its height

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, damned well written post, how annoying
selah_1977 says, AL!
selah_1977 says, Hi, Al!
slytherin_daughter says, tsk, tsk, tsk.
al_ffn says, which one? looks cryptic
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, but I noticed where you said that SNitch! is start to scare you
al_ffn says, my computer just didn't update the speech for ages there ... hi Eb
al_ffn says, yes, Snitch is a scary story
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I considered writing a reply post asking specific details of being scared.
selah_1977 says, Snitch is awesome...
selah_1977 says, OH!
slytherin_daughter says, Snitch is a fun story. A literary epic.
slytherin_daughter says, HO!
quill_and_feather says, SoHas anyone ever given it thought...what kind of music do Harry and the Gang listen to? Just a thought...
selah_1977 says, Shameless self promotion to follow...  
al_ffn says, I just never figured it'd get the attention it did.  It's becoming my Draco Sinister
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, (I haven't read it yet despite the ton of good thins I've heard. Hey, I haven't finished Draceana yet, and you KNOW  I loved that one)
slytherin_daughter says, Draco Fruitcake
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Quill. Harrry doesn't listen to music
selah_1977 says, TiP8 is at the betas--so far, not a lot of changes.  Will post tomorrow by 6 p.m. EST.   
selah_1977 says, It's 68 pages long.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, All his wizarding friends love the Weird Sisters
quill_and_feather says, I just posted my first part of my HP fnfic, Penny Dredfule, on the HP fanfiction site...
slytherin_daughter says, *clicks heels together* yay, Eb!
al_ffn says, contemporary muggle - would imagine, quill
quill_and_feather says, Ah, that's right, I remember the thing about the Sisters...
selah_1977 says, Penny's a cool night!
selah_1977 says, name, I mean...
sineadsiobhan is back.
slytherin_daughter says, The Weird Sisters rule.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Quidditch Through the Ages (of all places) answered many of my question sabout the Weird Sisters 
sineadsiobhan says, I lost
sineadsiobhan cries
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hermione might also listen to Mggle music
  Minzzer says, and so Minzzer does her horrible math and starts plotting time to get online on monday at that time when she's not suppose to be on,...the plan failed....darn
slytherin_daughter says, Penny Lane
quill_and_feather says, I think so too..remember Penny on Inspector Gadget? I used to like her...
slytherin_daughter mumbles incoherently
  Minzzer says, must find another plan
selah_1977 says, Minzzer--you will need NO PEPTO.  And that's all I have to say.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jamieson, I am truoble by a Muggle being named Penny Dredfule. It is not a Muggle name.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Penny Lane might be a Muggle Name!
al_ffn says, rave had Hermi as a Madonna fan
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, There is a Penny Dreadful who runs a Big Goth Web Site
quill_and_feather says, I woYeah, but I was trying to do a play on words...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Is the play on words needed forthe story?
sineadsiobhan says, hermi as a madonna fan? I can just see Hermi on the beach singing "I'm sexy."
  Minzzer says, that's all...not even a little bit more Eb?
al_ffn says, it was a slang term for cheap rip offs of Victorian melodrama novels in C19 UK
slytherin_daughter says, What is?
quill_and_feather says, Kind of....it relates to the old penny dreadfuls you used to be able to buy  for a penny or two...
Your buddy r_mitchell has gone off pager
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, rip offs? No more so than current cheap novels, from Barbara Cartland to John Grisham to The Butcher
slytherin_daughter says, *is lost*
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, before there was TV, even before there was movies or comic books, there were low-brow adventure stories 
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, written in books so a person had to be literate to be low-brow
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, very cheap books -- very cheaply made hardbacks until paperbacks were invented
quill_and_feather says, You could buy "pulp fiction", trashy stories and news of far away places, for a penny...hence, Penny Dreadful...
bludger_witch is away (Auto-Away)
sineadsiobhan says, isn't Penny Lane a beatles song?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, pulp fiction because it was printed on pulp paper, IE newsprint, which is cheaper than more polished paper 
sineadsiobhan says, or am I thinking otherwise?
  Minzzer says, nods head
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, but turns yellow and falls apart quickly
slytherin_daughter says, Penny Lane is in my ears, and in my eyes...
bludger_witch is back.
bludger_witch says, Yes. And it's a place, in.. Liverpool? macnherster?
al_ffn says, Penny Lane *is* a Beatles song, which they forced us to sing at a school concert
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, in USA, "dime novel"
Your buddy r_mitchell is on pager
al_ffn says, and is in Liverpool ... not far from Strawberry Fields
bludger_witch says, Somwhere where they used to practise
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Paperback Writer is also a Beatles song
quill_and_feather says, Exactly Catlady....if you guys could, I'd like you to take a gander at it...it's my first fnfic, and I need some criticism...
bludger_witch says, Aha, Liverpool. Thanks, Al
slytherin_daughter says, Beneath the clear suburban skies...
slytherin_daughter says, It was on the Magical Mystery Tour
slytherin_daughter says, I like the Beatles.
Your buddy r_mitchell has gone off pager

selah_1977 says, Why are you pouting, Min?
bludger_witch says, Three balding guys from Nw Mexico

  catlady_de_los_angeles  reminds Emily: My own brother Aberfroth was prosecuted for practising inappropriate charms on a goat, but was he embarassed
€  Aberforths_Goat says, certainly not!
selah_1977 says, Al, I have a Draco-fic up my sleeve... but I haven't found the time to write on it.
bludger_witch says, Embarassed? Maybe not. Sore, probably
sineadsiobhan says,   sure sure  
al_ffn says, Well, maybe when TiP's finished?
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, aberforth .. who are you?
selah_1977 says, A three-chapter novella... 3/4 of the first chapter's done... but TiP is taking up so much brainpower.
€  Aberforths_Goat says, Mike Gray
  joy0823 says, Everyone has to stop coming up with all these great new fics... too much reading!
  Minzzer says, someone give me a question to ask Eb..so she won't get all over me for some odd question I make up?
slytherin_daughter says, I remember that, I just didn't think that, um, anyone was masqurading as the goat in question
€  Aberforths_Goat says, Haven't posted for ages ...
selah_1977 says, Actually... I had to start it in order to figure out how D/G happened...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, we all assumed that this was a joke about bestiality (like the Malfoy famiy rule# something, No Malfoy family members may practise bestiality in the topiary garden, this meand you, Uncle Hector
quill_and_feather says, i had an idea to write a fic with Hermione (my fave) as the new MOM
slytherin_daughter says, I'm thinking of just stoping writing.

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, But I wonder if it has NOTHING to do with sex, but simply levitating the goat and dropping it on a bunch of Muggles
slytherin_daughter says, After my Beta told me that my plot was horrible and lame and should be scrapped, I lost enthusiasim
al_ffn says, was this for your bomber!draco thing
sineadsiobhan says, hey Eb.. you going to NYC on April 13th?
quill_and_feather says, What is a Beta>
  joy0823 says, That's constructive criticism for you...
slytherin_daughter says, Yes, it was.
bludger_witch says, Oh c'mon, never give up after just one comment
  Minzzer says, but that's the only thing to do...stop writing when you end up writing english papers on weekends...its what I'm doing
  joy0823 says, Sounds like you need a new beta  
al_ffn says, i'd be happy to give it a look thru if you want
bludger_witch says, I'm sure it's not so bad
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, or charming it so taht instead of bleating, it says McGonagall cheats at Exploding SNap! McGonagall cheats at Exploding snap!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Those would be INapprorpriate
quill_and_feather says, What's a beta? is that someone who reads the unfinished work?
  joy0823 says, Mmmhmm
al_ffn says, beta - FFN term for a proof reader
sineadsiobhan says, A beta is a proofreader
selah_1977 says, Sinead--actually, I may not be able to make it... I'll know by Tuesday.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, A beta Reader is a  edirtor along the lines of famous old-time editors alike Maxwell Perkins
slytherin_daughter says, I suppose the really bad thing is that she was a *beta*, and they're supposed to be smart. and Omnipotent ..... Hey, really?
bludger_witch says, Yes, and gives constructive crisicism and comments and corrects typos and grammatical errors
sineadsiobhan says, Aw! I'm going to be there..
quill_and_feather says, Ah. That's what I thought. ...that sounds like fun.
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, sounds like the highschool counselor who told kids they were NOT college material... some of which are now college grads
Minzzer is away (busy)
al_ffn says, sure, if you need it, drop us an email
sineadsiobhan says, and bring some coffee and a sleep-mask on the train...

selah_1977 says, If not, I'll be in NYC for my birthday weekend...
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, A real editor doesn't get just fix spelling and grammar and typoes and write notes "I can't undertand this sentence, rephrase it so I can understand what it means'
slytherin_daughter says, *beams*

€  Aberforths_Goat says, Say Eb, how's Trouble in Paradise (?) coming? I read the first three chapters before going AWOL ...
  joy0823 says, My english teacher stopped on the second page of a 15 page paper and told me it was too dismal to read with no point... The point was in the other 13 pages!
selah_1977 says, My most thorough betas are Heidi Tandy and Pippin... if you have a fic, they are some of the best in the fandom IMO.
selah_1977 says, Goat!  Chapter 8's finished.
al_ffn says, boy, have you missed some good chapters then!!
selah_1977 says, I'm happy with it.

  catlady_de_los_angeles says, A real editor gives advice on whether the characters are in character, suggests plot twists, encourages the author to keep going.....

al_ffn says, my betas are a happy cross between the two
sineadsiobhan says, good advice Doreen
€  Aberforths_Goat says, Did Scott ever get any farther with his story? I betad chapter 1 and had a blast?
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Perkins also would bail his authors out of the drunk tank and that them to the 1930-40s version of Betty Ford Clinic to dry out,,,,,
selah_1977 says, Rita--that's what mine do!
bludger_witch says, Chapter 2 should be out, at least I betaed it

slytherin_daughter says, *gasp* you don't know what a glomp is?
€  Aberforths_Goat says, Ah well, work's part of life too ... (and sometimes seems to consume it!!)
selah_1977 says, Joy... it's at beta.  So far, four responses, all glowing... and my betas usually take me through the ringer.  Tomorrow by 6 p.m. EST--thanks for asking.
sineadsiobhan says, I was glomped in NYC  
slytherin_daughter says, It's the latest phrase.
€  Aberforths_Goat says, "glomped"?
slytherin_daughter says, All the kids are doing it....
yael_pou says, ?
  joy0823 says, Oh good!
al_ffn says, isn't it like a high speed hug?  or did we discuss this last week?
€  Aberforths_Goat says, Does it hury or is it pleasurable?
selah_1977 says, It's taking 'em a while--it's 68 pages.   
slytherin_daughter says, It's a hug with a running start.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, They had to invent a follow=up to schnoogle
sineadsiobhan says, its a speed hug
selah_1977 says, OOH!
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, hmmm must be sexual then
€  Aberforths_Goat says, ach-- *hurt*
sineadsiobhan says, Run run run HUG
  joy0823 says, I slipped up and schnoogled someone in another group, and they were all so confused...
bludger_witch says, The kind of things overexited dogs do

slytherin_daughter says, HOO!
sineadsiobhan glomps everyone
€  Aberforths_Goat says, ok ok ok
bludger_witch says, lands on her butt
Minzzer is back.
  Minzzer says, glomps are fun
selah_1977 says, The kids at my K-8 school (the ones ten and under) glomp me all the time.  I should sue 'em.
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, glomp and schnoogle at least pretend not to be sexual, to be suitable for use on cute little nephews and neices
quill_and_feather leaves
slytherin_daughter says, harrasment.
sineadsiobhan says, whew... guinness book of world records for Glomping!
slytherin_daughter says, harrassment.
al_ffn says, glomp - kinda sounds like something to do with mud
yael_pou says, Ebony - TiP8, ASA14, ToT5, SoC7 - wow! quite a week!
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, glomp sounds like something that would fall in one big heap from a mixing bowl
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, sounds like chomp
  Corn_Patch_Witch says, I like schoogled better
selah_1977 says, I'm reading your chapter 9 tonight, Yael!
Minzzer is away (busy)
sineadsiobhan says, schnoogle is sexy/nonsexy however you put it

€  Aberforths_Goat says, ASA 14?! I've really got to catch up!
  catlady_de_los_angeles says, SoC7 is quite something!
yael_pou says,   Eb
selah_1977 says, Yael, to be a non-romantic, you sure write some good scenes!
bludger_witch says, What in devil's name is a noogie? I only know "Moogie", but that's Ferengi
selah_1977 says, I love your fic.   
  joy0823 says, I have so much reading to catch up on... I just joined HP Paradise, so I have all of these new stories
al_ffn says, I found Viola's beta all sitting nicely wrapped up in my inbox, and did a happy little dance!
