Rhiannon Dragoone: oh, ok, yeah, i think i mused about that yesterday
Yono Imako: i dont see any of u im so laggy

Yono Imako: no worries
Yono Imako: its just avatars
--BELL--
Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, we've surrounded you with base ball bats, Yono
Rhiannon Dragoone: hi Zen!

Bruce Mowbray: ;-) Yayyyy for notecards in abundance!
Yakuzza Lethecus: pls take a pillow yono
Rhiannon Dragoone: lag guest
Zen Arado: have to clear out my notecard inventory - another resolution
Rhiannon Dragoone imagines Yono nude to get the impact of when she's stuck standing
Rhiannon Dragoone decides she definitely *can't* see the problem
Rhiannon Dragoone: lol
Rhiannon Dragoone: guest, the great thing about PaB is that there is no pressure to say anything, and *anything* you say is accepted
Rhiannon Dragoone: And that wasn't lag; i was just slow to respond to you. Sorry
Rhiannon Dragoone: You see; you're already fittiing in by being accepting
Rhiannon Dragoone: nitety, night, yono
Rhiannon Dragoone: sleep tight
Bruce Mowbray: Good night, Yono.
Yakuzza Lethecus: good night yono
Yono Imako: ok guys im off to sleep too
Rhiannon Dragoone: Where did Zen run off to?
Yono Imako: got headache
Yono Imako: nite kitty
Rhiannon Dragoone: nice seeing you, Yono
Bruce Mowbray wonders whether Yono is Nav'i -- but sees no tail.
Yono Imako: same
Bruce Mowbray: Come back when you can, Yono.
Yono Imako: will do
Yono Imako: thanks bruce
Bruce Mowbray: YW. ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Rhia. I'm getting messages from a blue fish that wants to know you better.
Bruce Mowbray: but he's shy.
Bruce Mowbray: His name is Blub.
Bruce Mowbray: Do fish upset you, Rhia?
Bruce Mowbray: because Blub sure want to visit you.
Rhiannon Dragoone: Blub! Your pet, Bruce
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Mick!
Rhiannon Dragoone: Blub may vist me, as long as you're with him
Rhiannon Dragoone: hi MIck!
Mickorod Renard: Hi Guys
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey mick
Mickorod Renard: just passing by
Rhiannon Dragoone laughs
Rhiannon Dragoone: Blub swam right through me
Rhiannon Dragoone: ::giggles::
Mickorod Renard: cant see anyone
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey alf
Mickorod Renard: yay,,hi guest
Rhiannon Dragoone: who's alf?
Yakuzza Lethecus: ah, now he´s in range
Rhiannon Dragoone: Alfred? Is he here?
Yakuzza Lethecus: or not
Yakuzza Lethecus: 22,8 m
Bruce Mowbray can't see Alfred yet.
Rhiannon Dragoone: yeha, he's .88 out of chat range
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey alf
Alfred Kelberry: meep-meep!
Rhiannon Dragoone: here he is!
Rhiannon Dragoone: hey Boxy!
Mickorod Renard: ALFIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Boxy!
Alfred Kelberry: what's one hell of a greeting :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: He took a great picture of me the other day; it's now my profile picture
--BELL--
Alfred Kelberry: so glad it was put in good use, rhia :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: hi Brian!
Rhiannon Dragoone: oh, just remembeted, Brian was the guy who wanted me to leave the other day
Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Brian.
Rhiannon Dragoone: you're a good SL photographer, boxy
Alfred Kelberry: thank you, rhia :)
Alfred Kelberry: i also take rl pictures, as well :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: oh, crap; it must have been when i switched to Phoenix; it's gone back to the old picture; i'll have to re load it
Mickorod Renard: yea, when u get an rl one of Rhi let me have one Alf
Rhiannon Dragoone: boxy, you a rl photographer? Professionally, I mean
Rhiannon Dragoone: I have a rl one in my profile, Mick; from my portfolio
Alfred Kelberry: no, just a hobby
Alfred Kelberry: mick, if rhia doesn't mind :)
Mickorod Renard: :)
Mickorod Renard: I may peek at your profile, although i dont usually, I feel like a peeping tom when I have in the past
Rhiannon Dragoone: Mick, well, the first page is always a hook; rl, maybe a bit of a peeping for some people; i dunno
Mickorod Renard: :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: I'm careful what i put there; my features (and, er, olther things) are obsccured in shadows in the pic
Rhiannon Dragoone: And i joke about who ppl think I really am
Rhiannon Dragoone: The latest rumor at PI is that i'm Saul Kripke
Mickorod Renard: nice leg
Rhiannon Dragoone: thanks
Bruce Mowbray is running to get the last of the sausage and sauerkraut -- BRB.
Rhiannon Dragoone: you don't think my foot is too big; my feet are my most embarassing feature, i think
Rhiannon Dragoone: hb, bruce
Rhiannon Dragoone: It's ironic how in sl, i have to wear shoes to get my feet just right.
Rhiannon Dragoone: did brian leave?
Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, guest, you can customize the bums
Rhiannon Dragoone: but finding prim feet to match; that's a chore
Mickorod Renard: well, it looks ok to me, although as your foot is closer to the camera there is a risk it may have appeared disproportionate,,which it doesnt
Rhiannon Dragoone: guest, yeah; you can customize your avi
Bruce Mowbray is back with the sauerkraut and sausage. . .
Rhiannon Dragoone: Mine is based on that rl picture
Rhiannon Dragoone: share, bruce; share
Rhiannon Dragoone: i haven't had breakfast you
Rhiannon Dragoone: no, it was sculpted this way, along with the rest, except for the feet, guest
Rhiannon Dragoone: And i'm hoping the new Phoenix will allow me to use make up & lipstick
Bruce Mowbray hopes Rhia won't get hungry enough to have fish for breakfast.
Yakuzza Lethecus: fish and chips
Rhiannon Dragoone: yeah, so i settled for shoes,, as it would take me hours to get my prim bare feet right after a throwback on viewer 2
Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, you look good in the clothes you are wearing, guest
Rhiannon Dragoone: yeah, phoenix does too; i rezed first with my armani, afro hair and bax boots
Rhiannon Dragoone: Fortunately, i just had to take them off
Rhiannon Dragoone: yeh, i was 2 tone; this hair and the long afro
Mickorod Renard: guest, you look charming
Mickorod Renard: is Yaku asleep?
Yakuzza Lethecus: jep
Mickorod Renard: brb
--BELL--
Rhiannon Dragoone: bruce, are you naked with a tree for a head?
Yakuzza Lethecus: bye
Rhiannon Dragoone: cu guest!
Rhiannon Dragoone: Thanks for joing us
Bruce Mowbray: Bye, guest!
Bruce Mowbray: It's the sauerkraut -- It's cauing some weird transformations. . .
Rhiannon Dragoone: There used to be a guy who'd come to my discussions as a tree
Bruce Mowbray: causing*
Rhiannon Dragoone: He would also wander through the PI Commons that way
Bruce Mowbray: Did he also eat sauerkraut?
Rhiannon Dragoone: Reminded me of a Phillipino movie where tree monsters attacked ppl; onnly it was badly directed, so you could see the tennis shoes at the base of the tree
Rhiannon Dragoone: don't know what he ate, bruce
Bruce Mowbray: Being able to appear as a tree seems to bring me a bit closer to the direct experience of BEING a tree -- which has been a life-long dream of mine.
Bruce Mowbray supposes that some folks want to be boxes. . . as others want to be trees.
Rhiannon Dragoone: bruce, yes, it would; one of the nice things about sl
Mickorod Renard: back
Yakuzza Lethecus: wb mick
Mickorod Renard: :) ty
Bruce Mowbray: welcome back, Mick!
Rhiannon Dragoone: wb Mick
Mickorod Renard: has the visitor left?
Yakuzza Lethecus: well, we could cut down trees to make more boxes
Rhiannon Dragoone: now, no one tell him what we said about him behind his back
Rhiannon Dragoone: Mick, which visitor?
Rhiannon Dragoone: Were you shy because guest was here?
Mickorod Renard: the one that i cant say her name
Bruce Mowbray: oh nooooo! Don't cut down trees. . . You can now make boxes out of recycled pop bottles.
Rhiannon Dragoone: hi Zon!
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey zon
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Zon!
Mickorod Renard: I think its about time the world realized they shouldnt make anything out of plastic that could be made of something else
Mickorod Renard: Hi Zon
Bruce Mowbray: But if the plastic already exists -- and you can recycle it ----
Mickorod Renard: yes, but the more it gets recycled the more chance it stands of getting mixed into the food chain
Bruce Mowbray: actually, Boxy is the authority on such things - having experience with cardboard, and all. . .
Bruce Mowbray: Good point about the food chain. . .
Bruce Mowbray: My vulnerabilities are showing. . . . Fish for breakfast, possibly (if Rhia gets hungry enough) and wood for boxes. . .
Mickorod Renard: it eventually gets chopped into such small bits it washes down river into the sea where the fish eat it and then we eat the fish etc
Bruce Mowbray listens for more of the food chain -- "we eat the fish. . . " and who eats US?
--BELL--
Bruce Mowbray: One way or another, it's got to come 'round to the trees again.
Mickorod Renard: well,,tree's are ok
Mickorod Renard: so far
Bruce Mowbray recommends NOT listening to anything said by a drunk tree.
Yakuzza Lethecus: ok, i go to bed, good night everyone
Bruce Mowbray: Good night, Yaku!
Mickorod Renard: good night yaku
Zon Kwan: me 2, bye all
Mickorod Renard: sleep well
Bruce Mowbray: stay away from the sauerkraut.
Bruce Mowbray: Good night, Zon.
Mickorod Renard: nite zon
Mickorod Renard: Bruce,,what time is it where u are?
Bruce Mowbray: Mmmm. . . It is now 5:06 p.m. which is 17:06 ---
Mickorod Renard: I guess its afternoon for you guys
Mickorod Renard: ahh yes
Bruce Mowbray: and your time, Mick?
Mickorod Renard: its 22;06
Mickorod Renard: :)
Mickorod Renard: for yaku it was 23;06
Bruce Mowbray: OK -- So almost time for bed for you.
Bruce Mowbray: That's too late for me to stay awake.
Mickorod Renard: I guess so, although I stay up late
Mickorod Renard: I thought you didnt sleep much Bruce?
Mickorod Renard: I can say that my sleep patterns are returning to normal now
Bruce Mowbray: I try to get in about 7-8 hours every night, actually.
Mickorod Renard: after several years
Bruce Mowbray: Oh -- well, that's good.
Mickorod Renard: thats very good bruce
Mickorod Renard: more than me
Bruce Mowbray: yes, one of the advantages of retirement.
Bruce Mowbray: although I am not able to take naps throughout the day -- impossible for me to sleep while the sun shines.
Mickorod Renard: yes, i get up earlyish for work,,usually around 6;45
Bruce Mowbray: used to do that every day.
Mickorod Renard: I can nap on wednesday afternoons
Bruce Mowbray: for about 40 years.
Alfred Kelberry: 6:45 is tough
Rhiannon Dragoone: I can nap anytime.
Mickorod Renard: well,,its habit for me now
Mickorod Renard: but I dont go to bed early either
Bruce Mowbray: but -- didn't you say that your sleep patterns were "off" for a while?
Alfred Kelberry: mick, collecting sleep debt during the week? :)
Alfred Kelberry: you must be in a student mode :)
Mickorod Renard: my sleep pattern was very poor,,i wouldnt get to sleep until 3 in the morning,,and couldnt saty in bed once awake
Mickorod Renard: so I couldnt catch up either
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, I had the exact same problem....
Mickorod Renard: I would read and read until I dropped
Bruce Mowbray: and the doctor finally put me on Lorazapam. . .
Alfred Kelberry: sleep drug?
Mickorod Renard: yea, i managed without, and seem to have sorted myself out now
Bruce Mowbray: I'm definitely an insomniac. . . but the meds have helped tremendously.
Mickorod Renard: sleep is so important to stay stable
Bruce Mowbray: Yeah, Lorazapam is a mild benzodiazapine -- like Valium but not as strong.
Rhiannon Dragoone: Bruce, i know the cure for insomnia--get some sleep
Mickorod Renard: he he he
Bruce Mowbray dies from laughing....
Alfred Kelberry: ah, it must be frustraiting, bruce. half asleep / half awake.
Rhiannon Dragoone: great ani, Bruce
Rhiannon Dragoone: enough champagne and you'll sleep,, all right
Rhiannon Dragoone giggles at Bruce's remark
--BELL--
Alfred Kelberry: i remember a movie with pachino
Alfred Kelberry: i think it was called insomnia
Alfred Kelberry: this is how i imagine it :)
Alfred Kelberry: quite surreal
Alfred Kelberry: but his case was probably more severe
Rhiannon Dragoone: have to go, everyone;
Rhiannon Dragoone: tc of bruce, don't let him tp drunk
Mickorod Renard: I watched that inception again today,,,i am not so sure about it now
Bruce Mowbray: Well, I suppose that every case is different. . . but I'd gone three nights without sleep - and my doctor was so concerned that he came to my home and medicated me right here.
Alfred Kelberry: right: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0278504/
Mickorod Renard: bye Rhi
Mickorod Renard: take care
Rhiannon Dragoone: bye Mick
Alfred Kelberry: bye, rhia
Bruce Mowbray: Bye Rhia!
Rhiannon Dragoone: bye boxy
Rhiannon Dragoone: bye Bruce
Rhiannon Dragoone: Happy New Years again!
Mickorod Renard: and u
Rhiannon Dragoone waves and poofs
Alfred Kelberry: bruce, wow! 3 nights
Alfred Kelberry: that's heavy
Bruce Mowbray: Fortunately, my doc was/is also a personal friend.
Mickorod Renard: Yak is bak
Bruce Mowbray: He realized that I was not capable of holding a thought for more than a few seconds. . . and came to help.
Mickorod Renard: he he
Bruce Mowbray: wb, Yaku.
Yakuzza Lethecus: only with Pocket metaverse
Mickorod Renard: yaku cant sleep
Alfred Kelberry: actually, a funny thing. when i stay awake for a long time, i get a sort of floating feeling, which is rather nice :)
Bruce Mowbray: Did our talking about insomnia keep you awake, Yaku?
Yakuzza Lethecus: i am below my pillow;)
Yakuzza Lethecus: blanker
Alfred Kelberry: wb, yaku :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: blanket
Bruce Mowbray: either that, or your feet are on backwards, Yak.
Bruce Mowbray: Oh THAT pillow. I thought you meant the cushion.
Mickorod Renard: wow, i used to do that as a kid,,with a torch,,cos then I could carry on reading without my mum telling me to switch the light off and go to sleep
Bruce Mowbray: yes, I remember it well.
Mickorod Renard: i guess electricity was expensive in them days
Mickorod Renard: I would read superman comics too
Mickorod Renard: can you remember those adverts on the back page for xray vision glasses?
Bruce Mowbray: Do you guys remember the "Classic Comic Books"
Bruce Mowbray: OH yes, I remember the x-ray vision ads.
Mickorod Renard: yes, too right
Mickorod Renard: i always wanted some..for obvious reasons
Bruce Mowbray: also the 90-pound weakling ads (which I relate to closely)
Mickorod Renard: oh yes
Alfred Kelberry: i liked tin-tin
Mickorod Renard: also lots of other things,,i seem to recal jetex motors
Bruce Mowbray: Don't remember that one.
Mickorod Renard: i have a good collection of tin tin
Mickorod Renard: but in french
Bruce Mowbray: ?me doesn't remember tin tin. . . perhaps I'm suppressing that memory.
Alfred Kelberry: tin-tin is the best adventure comics :)
Bruce Mowbray: Mmmmm.
Mickorod Renard: tin tin was more european bruce
Bruce Mowbray: Oh -- That would probably explain it.
Mickorod Renard: herge's adventures of tin tin
Bruce Mowbray: Well, guys, this has been good. but I need to finish writing a letter to a friend in prison now.
Bruce Mowbray: May you all be well, sleep well, and have a Happy New Year.
Mickorod Renard: I have a nice phto somewhere when i was reading tin tin in tibet whilst on a small rowing boat in the himalayers,,and there was an earthquake
Mickorod Renard: bye bruce
Bruce Mowbray: OH my!
Mickorod Renard: take care
Yakuzza Lethecus: i hate writing on a cellphone
Bruce Mowbray waits to hear more of this story.
Yakuzza Lethecus: and a quake in Chile again
Mickorod Renard: well, i was recovering from dysentry
Yakuzza Lethecus: Night
Mickorod Renard: nite yaku
Bruce Mowbray: an earthquake -- Yes, a big quake in Chili this afternoon.
Mickorod Renard: ouch
Bruce Mowbray: Oh dear! So, all at once: dysentary, boat, earthquake, and Himalayas.
Bruce Mowbray: How old were you?
Mickorod Renard: I was in the anapurnas ,,in a place called pochara
Mickorod Renard: maybe spelt better
Bruce Mowbray: In Tibet. . . with your parents?
Mickorod Renard: no, i must have been in my late twenties
Bruce Mowbray: OK -- I thought because you were reading tin tin -- you were still a child -- but I was wrong.
Mickorod Renard: and i had been taken to this posh island on a lake
--BELL--
Mickorod Renard: he he
Bruce Mowbray listens.
Mickorod Renard: cos i was on my last legs
Mickorod Renard: I had to be taken there hung over a bicycle, like a dead cowboy draped over a horse
Bruce Mowbray: mercy.
Mickorod Renard: I woke up several days later in the lap of luxury
Bruce Mowbray: Did yuou think you'd died and gone to heaven?
Mickorod Renard: and then spent a few days recovering
Bruce Mowbray: oh -- not quite heaven, then.
Mickorod Renard: it never occured to me at that time
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Mickorod Renard: although I recall thinking I was going to die
Bruce Mowbray: WHAT a memory.
Bruce Mowbray: Fortunate that you were among caring folks who knew what to do to help you.
Mickorod Renard: but the earthquake i mistook for an express train
Bruce Mowbray: wow.
Mickorod Renard: but I should have realized that you dont get express trains in the mountains up there
Bruce Mowbray: Amazing.
Alfred Kelberry: wait, sorry. i missed that. what earthquake?
Bruce Mowbray: So you were also a bit delerious.
Mickorod Renard: being on a lake suppressed the quake feeling for me
Bruce Mowbray: Mick had an earthquake in Tibet when he was in his 20's and had dystenary -- and . . .
Mickorod Renard: I was on the lake in a boat when there was an earthquake
Bruce Mowbray: was taken to a posh island for recovery (on a bike, thrown over like on a horse).
Mickorod Renard: but i recall it cos i had been reading tin tin in tibet at the time
Alfred Kelberry: oh my, tibet
Alfred Kelberry: fancy
Bruce Mowbray: tin tin in tibet -- (Has a nice ring to it.)
Alfred Kelberry: hehe
Mickorod Renard: it was afunky holiday
Alfred Kelberry: in french?
Bruce Mowbray: Wow.
Mickorod Renard: that one was an english version
Alfred Kelberry: what did you do in tibet?
Mickorod Renard: well, i wasnt exactly in tibet, more nepal
Alfred Kelberry: ok, nepal
Alfred Kelberry: climbing mountains?
Mickorod Renard: I did a variety of things
Bruce Mowbray: He also drank the water. . . . (uh oh).
Mickorod Renard: i should have gone climbing but the plane couldnt land on the glacier cos of bad weather
Alfred Kelberry: that's a wonderful adventure, mick
Mickorod Renard: which was fortunate as the ones before me all died
Bruce Mowbray: Alas. That was a fascinating story, Mick. But now I really must get back to the letter to my friend in prison.
Bruce Mowbray: May you both be well.
Bruce Mowbray: Bye for now.
Alfred Kelberry: i had a chance to go to nepal, but... well, it didn't work out
Mickorod Renard: ok Brcie
Mickorod Renard: nite nite
Mickorod Renard: maybe another day Alf?
Mickorod Renard: its never too late
Alfred Kelberry: perhap
Alfred Kelberry: s
Alfred Kelberry: yea
Mickorod Renard: I was thinking of doing the little trains that go into the indian mountains
Alfred Kelberry: hope is what keeps us going
Mickorod Renard: he he
Mickorod Renard: little trains seems less energetic, which now suits me
Alfred Kelberry: little trains?
Mickorod Renard: yes, small steam trains,,on narrow guage track
Mickorod Renard: laid by the british in india a 100 years ago
Alfred Kelberry: ah, right
Alfred Kelberry: is it safe? :)
Mickorod Renard: i think so
Mickorod Renard: they have the odd land slide
Mickorod Renard: but its a lot less tiring than walking
Alfred Kelberry: walking would be nice there, i imagine
Mickorod Renard: I prefer to do things that are less organised
Mickorod Renard: the walking is a nice adventure, but you have to be fit
Alfred Kelberry: i did quite a bit of walking in the alps - it was a sheer joy :)
Mickorod Renard: wow that sounds nice
Alfred Kelberry: yes, very nice
Mickorod Renard: I love the smells and sounds and so forth
--BELL--
Mickorod Renard: and of course the views
Alfred Kelberry: yes... i always get a soft smile when i remember that :)
Mickorod Renard: was it a while ago?
Alfred Kelberry: um, not really... 2 years
Mickorod Renard: wow,,so quite fresh memories

Mickorod Renard: was it the bit close to geneva?
Alfred Kelberry: or so it seems :)
Alfred Kelberry: yes, geneva was my first stop
Mickorod Renard: mont blanc and st bernards pass
Alfred Kelberry: i don't think i've seen so many planes in one place in the air :)
Mickorod Renard: wow yes?
Alfred Kelberry: i thought we'd crash :)
Mickorod Renard: what was that then?
Mickorod Renard: ahh,,landing at geneva?
Alfred Kelberry: i could see one passing right above us
Alfred Kelberry: yes
Mickorod Renard: he he
Alfred Kelberry: huge shadow
Mickorod Renard: wow
Alfred Kelberry: but the view - wow!
Mickorod Renard: its a nice picturesque country
Mickorod Renard: I used to stay at a place the other side of the lake to geneva
Mickorod Renard: Lucern
Alfred Kelberry: yes... i think i could sit on a little bench in the mountains for hours enjoying the view, calmness and the glory of nature :)
Mickorod Renard: now you are bringing my memories out
Mickorod Renard: :)
Alfred Kelberry: yes, i passed it on the way to interlaken
Mickorod Renard: oh yea,,interlaken
Alfred Kelberry: that's a beautiful ride along the lake
Alfred Kelberry: then i took golden pass train
Mickorod Renard: and there is a walk there up past some bear
Mickorod Renard: gosh,,that was some time ago
Alfred Kelberry: maybe it's time to refresh the memories? :)
Mickorod Renard: and was the train ride good?
Alfred Kelberry: oh yes... all around the ridges (?) and mountain paths
Mickorod Renard: I did my touring there on motorbike
