Hammie's First Stop:  Khelli's House

Hammie: Hey Khelli! How are ya?

Khelli: Just wonderful, Hammie, how are you? You are going to behave right?

Hammie: Hey! I do everything right! Ahem. Okay!

Hammie: So is Khelli what everyone calls you or is that a special name just for me and the rest of the Broch?

Khelli: It's just a name I came up with for the net. I always wanted my name to be Kelly when I was a wee one and now that I am older I put the special spelling in it. My real name is Kori.

Hammie: Hey, I like this place of yours. I'm lousy with geographics. Where are we again? There aren't any cats here are there?
Not that I'm scared or anything, just wondering.

Khelli: You are visiting the Red Desert in Wyoming. This tiny town is called Wamsutter. And yes, I am a cat lover so you better be careful. My kitty will give you the tub treatment.

Hammie: The rub treatment? Is that a promise? You're pretty distracting, ya know that? Okay, serious question - Khelli, um, I'm looking for my creator. Is it you? Did you conjure me?

Khelli: I don't have near the imagination to have created you Hammie. That honor goes to a very disturbed.......er,..I mean special hoser.

Later that night....

Hammie: I'll show you mine if you show me yours. How about it Khelli?

Khelli: Here's mine

Hammie: Ooooo nice pic! A blonde, eh? hehehehe

Khelli: At least I don't have horns and strange glow-in-the-dark eyes. =)

Hammie: Most people love the h-o-r-n-y side of me. Here's mine. Pretty good, eh?

Hammie: How long have you been in Lallybroch and how did you find this cool place?

Khelli: I have been lucky enough to have found LOL around 3- 3 1/2 years ago, I think. It was a small place then, only one board and 10-20 people. It has definitely grown since then. So many neat people I love it.

Hammie: Have you been to any gatherings? Met any other hosers?

Khelli: I have only been to one festival and wasn't lucky enough to have met anyone. We are few and far between out here in the boonies.

Hammie: Yeah I can see that, but ya still have a nice place here. So peaceful.

Hammie: Do you really like all this Scottish stuff? Especially men in kilts? Do you really like guys that dress that way?

Khelli: I love all of the great legends and lores that surround Scotland and Scottish history. The MIK's are a very VERY nice bonus. I am a bona fide Kilt appreciator.

Hammie: Really? Then let me show you the REAL Hammie. This is an authentic picture of me. Forget about the first one.

Hammie: Not interested? Okay, well, where is your favorite place to hang out in Lallybroch?

Khelli: I mostly like to lurk at the Social Board. Every once in a while I go visiting the other boards to see what's going on.

Hammie: Do you go to any chats?

Khelli: I have been to a few but I don't seem to have enough hours in a day to go to all that I would like to.

Hammie: Got a tattoo?

Khelli: Yes, it is on my right ankle and dedicated to my kids.

Hammie: How many times have you read Outlander?

Khelli: I have lost count of the rereads I have done. I have also listened to both the abridged and unabridged a few times. There are always new things to discover no matter how many times I read it.

Hammie: Got a favorite bumper sticker?

Khelli: That would have to be.....I am up and dressed what more do you want.
I am not a morning person. The only sticker I allow on my Van is a D.A.R.E. bumper sticker.

Hammie: Yeah, I can tell you are a night owl. Maybe we can take a spin on my wheel later.

Hammie: What really pisses you off?

Khelli: Mean people really irritate me, but people who are mean to kids and animals or others who can't defend themselves, really piss me off.

Hammie: I know what you mean.... If you could visit anywhere in the world (besides Scotland), where would you go? Why?

Khelli: I would love to visit Australia & New Zealand. The scenery looks absolutely gorgeous. I love to listen to the accents and the people I have met from there are all so friendly.

Hammie: What keeps you coming back to Lallybroch?

Khelli: The great people, everyone is so wonderful and open. You couldn't find a greater group.

Hammie: Spit or swallow?

Khelli: Most around here spit, but you have a few hardier, or I guess they could be just considerate of others, they swallow.

Hammie: We are talking about mouthwash here, right?

Khelli: I was thinking chewing tobacco.

Hammie: *gigglesnort* Wanna just tell me a little bit about yourself? Oh like where you grew up, what you wanna be when you grow up, how do you bring home the cheese... Stuff like that?

Khelli: I grew up mostly in Wyoming, but have lived a little bit all over. I was born a Navy Brat so roaming must be in my blood. As I get older though that doesn't seem so great anymore. I want to move and settle up near Sheridan, Wy. (the mountains are great there) When or if I ever grow up I want to get back to college to be an Registered Nurse. Until I get to realize that dream I keep myself busy with two jobs. I work in a Gas Station\repair shop in the evenings and during the day I am a one-on-one Resource Aide for a child with Tourette's Syndrome and a sub-aide when needed. I have 3 wonderful though energetic and ornery daughters ages 14, 12, & 9. I have been married to my very own Jamie for 4 years. In my spare time I am a volunteer EMT-B (emergency medical technician, basic level) with our ambulance service and I just joined our local Volunteer Fire Department.

Hammie: Well, Khelli, it's been just grand getting to meet you and chat and all, but I'm going to hit the road. I have another hoser to visit with, and I really want to find my creator. Take care and see you on the boards!

Khelli: It was great talking to you too. You were nothing like I had heard. No offense. Oh by the way, have you seen or heard from Mr. Jingles?

Hammie: Hey thanks! I think?! Jingles is in Las Vegas. See Ya, Khelli. I'll tell him you were asking for him. _________________________________________________________________
