stevenaia Michinaga: springs seem to be nearing here
stevenaia Michinaga: the flowers are beginning to show themselves
Eliza Madrigal: Very nice :))
Susi Alcott: ah :))))
stevenaia Michinaga: I have been in a sort of winter hibernation from PaB,
Susi Alcott: we here have unusual much snow
Susi Alcott: smiles
stevenaia Michinaga: yes we had many snow storms this winter, all melted now, but I enjoy the snow
Susi Alcott: _/!\_
stevenaia Michinaga: one of the happy things winter brings
stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps the only one
Susi Alcott: have also a bit enjoyed since I have not needed to clean it up from large areas
stevenaia Michinaga: many friends seem to get overwhelmed by winter's darkness
Susi Alcott: that is also understandable
Susi Alcott: human needs light
Eliza Madrigal wonders if she picks up on that, even from S. Florida
stevenaia Michinaga: it must be a bigger problem where you are
Susi Alcott: that is
stevenaia Michinaga: but perhaps seeing in the darkness of eyes and mind also allows you to see differently
Susi Alcott: on the other hand ; one have good reason to burn candles
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Susi Alcott: well...that I cannot know ...know many 'blind' people who lives much more in North where the darkness is deeper and longer
Susi Alcott: think it to depend on huge many things when one openes or not to 'see'...
Susi Alcott: and in a way there's only different kind of probs to deal with
Susi Alcott: seems that the chat lag continues as quite bad
stevenaia Michinaga: I see your text fine
Susi Alcott: took 'years' to appear to me
stevenaia Michinaga: but we are great distances from each other
stevenaia Michinaga: it is a circle
stevenaia Michinaga: mericle
stevenaia Michinaga: miracle
stevenaia Michinaga: hmmm
--BELL--
stevenaia Michinaga: technology
Susi Alcott: ah; got it now; have got my dictionary back
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Eliza Madrigal must be off, but was nice seeing you Susi and Steve :)
stevenaia Michinaga: I was thinking about how far your words come and my words come to see them together on the screen

Archmage Atlantis: And you?
stevenaia Michinaga: things seem to be getting better
Susi Alcott: _/!\_
Susi Alcott: btw
stevenaia Michinaga: but that is usually always the case
Susi Alcott: my dictionary cannot translate this word 'cultivator'
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Susi Alcott: can it be said other way ?
stevenaia Michinaga: cultivator is what someone does to make things grow... like cultivate a field of vegetables
stevenaia Michinaga: or cultivate the minds of others
Susi Alcott: ah; then I understood that nearly
stevenaia Michinaga: it is a good thing
Archmage Atlantis: A cultivator is one who sow old ground, and brings forth new life
stevenaia Michinaga: helping something grow
Archmage Atlantis: The process of life
Susi Alcott: well; the dictionary is not made by a finnish person...
Susi Alcott: _/!\_
stevenaia Michinaga: :)

stevenaia Michinaga: I'm sure you did nothing
stevenaia Michinaga: welcome back
Susi Alcott: thank you
Susi Alcott: am I very wrong thinking that you can have some new happiness because your wife is at home ?
stevenaia Michinaga: no, she was always working at home, but she is much happier now
Susi Alcott: _/!\_
Susi Alcott: felt so
stevenaia Michinaga: sometimes, looking ahead you always see bad things but they usually never arrive
Susi Alcott: believing that to give more happiness to you sure also
Susi Alcott: and many times even they arrive, they turn to show to been good thing
Archmage Atlantis: We have the earth to save........yet you ppl look at small things
Susi Alcott: ah my bro; we thankfully dont need to save the planet
stevenaia Michinaga: the "small" things also need attending too
Susi Alcott: I've used to say that how sais there to be small things, should think the situation to be alone in dark room with the mosquito...
--BELL--
Susi Alcott: often also spoken of that tiny part; sized like a finger nail, in the motor of the car
