Hyperion Rayna: has anybody analyzed them and drawn conclusions on some of the conversations, that would be interesting
stevenaia Michinaga: feel free to brows the site
Hyperion Rayna: thanks, I will
Hyperion Rayna: It would be a great project for a sociology phd candidate
stevenaia Michinaga: many in the group have read sessions where they have not atended,
Hyperion Rayna: much like skipping class and viewing the internet rebroadcast, haha
stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps, but considering there are 4 meetings a day for the past 3 years, much has been discussed
Hyperion Rayna: that's why its priceless info for a scholar
stevenaia Michinaga: the conversatins range frm physics to religion to Being , all touching on the nature of reality when we are focused enough
Hyperion Rayna: I love physics(was just looking at the LHC console, they have stable beams for physics now) and wish to learn more about religion
stevenaia Michinaga: I have learned but about easter religions here, not from scholorly discussion but from shared experiences from people
Hyperion Rayna: good info
Hyperion Rayna: anythknm interesting about Easter that you have heard
stevenaia Michinaga: well, no actually
stevenaia Michinaga: I do like "peeps" chickens if you know what that marshmellow candy is
Hyperion Rayna: the idea of being dead for three days and rising is a very old idea going back well before christ I heard
stevenaia Michinaga: they are popular around Esther
stevenaia Michinaga: easter
Hyperion Rayna: love ppeps
iwandertoo Resident: have not had a peeps - but have seen them
iwandertoo Resident: pink and yellow bunnies

stevenaia Michinaga: http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/
Hyperion Rayna: wow, a website for peeps
iwandertoo Resident: in a town in upstate new york, there was a couple who hand painted egg shells...amazing. they had hundreds of them.

Hyperion Rayna: I have bad tgyp[ing slskills
Hyperion Rayna: Do you know where the eating ham for easter thing came from
stevenaia Michinaga: no idea
Hyperion Rayna: sure keeps the other two lAbrahic religions out of it
Hyperion Rayna: Ahbraham
stevenaia Michinaga: lol
Hyperion Rayna: yeah, just thought of it Abra--HAM

--BELL--

iwandertoo Resident: eating ham on Easter dates back to the ancient Romans, who buried pork near the sea to ensure a salty, cured meat by spring, usually around Easter. settlers from Europe cured pork in the fall and waited until Easter to eat the first ham
iwandertoo Resident: (in quotes)
Hyperion Rayna: so the Roman christians probably coopted it for Easter for some reason, maybe that was when the hams were properly cured
Hyperion Rayna: cool, didn't know it was that old
stevenaia Michinaga: well someone figured it out
iwandertoo Resident: just read some more...seems it's the cured meat piece that is key
Hyperion Rayna: I supposse in the meat world , it has a meat immortality
Hyperion Rayna: not like Lady GaGa's dress
iwandertoo Resident: smoked or cured
Hyperion Rayna: I just fvound out recently that smoking meat works by adding formaldehyde to it, its preserved just like a biology experiment
stevenaia Michinaga: that one will live on in the videos forever, intersting way to preserve meat, film it
iwandertoo Resident: i couldnt look at it for very long, Stevenaia
Hyperion Rayna: wonder what happened to the meat after, hope she gave it to her dogs at least
stevenaia Michinaga: must be why I don;t eat beef jerky
Hyperion Rayna: I love beef jerky but the chemicals they add to it must not be too good for you
Hyperion Rayna: I suppose that's true of much food today anyhow, meat or not
stevenaia Michinaga: I must be off to be, have to travel tomorrow
iwandertoo Resident: take care. best to you
Hyperion Rayna: yeah, me too its been nice, thanks for the conversation
