milakel Resident: sophia, local as in “logged”?
milakel Resident: oh yes, great news on bruce
SophiaSharon Larnia: (some chat from attachments, nvm)
milakel Resident: no, i haven't seen anything
Aphrodite Macbain: Hokon, did you know Bruce Mowbray had been in hospital?
Hokon Cazalet: =(
Hokon Cazalet: no i didnt
milakel Resident: we should make a welcome back banner for him
Aphrodite Macbain: He's been away from PAB for over 3 weeks
Hokon Cazalet: that’d be a cool idea
Aphrodite Macbain: great idea
Aphrodite Macbain: Can you make one or should I ask Bleu?
oO0Oo Resident: can we incorporate poems on notecards into the banner?
Aphrodite Macbain: the balloon and banner maker
milakel Resident: throw in colorful balloons and a tasty cake :)
Aphrodite Macbain: hehe
Aphrodite Macbain: Poems would be nice. I can put out a call for poems by email
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Arch
Hokon Cazalet: =)
milakel Resident: bleu is the artsy one :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Arch
milakel Resident: archy :)
Aphrodite Macbain: we were saying how good it is that Bruce is returning home
Archmage Atlantis: Hi, all :)
oO0Oo Resident: hi Arch :)
Hokon Cazalet: =)
milakel Resident: yes and we discussed a welcome back party for Bruce
Aphrodite Macbain: Is he ok?
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, Aph, he sounds much better today
Aphrodite Macbain: did he have the flu?
Archmage Atlantis: pneumonia, a couple of versions he picked up in his trip to NY
Hokon Cazalet: aws
Hokon Cazalet: aw*
milakel Resident: ah
Hokon Cazalet: =(
Aphrodite Macbain: 2 versions!!
Hokon Cazalet: eek
Aphrodite Macbain: one for each lung?
Aphrodite Macbain: yikes- too big a bite of the big apple

Archmage Atlantis: Actually, Aph, just the right bite....fun and mortality.....the usual mix from the gods
Aphrodite Macbain: :-) lol
SophiaSharon Larnia hopes not to have that much fun
Aphrodite Macbain: more fun less mortality
Archmage Atlantis: What is today's topic
Archmage Atlantis: Other than that?
Aphrodite Macbain: we don't have one yet. Would you like to suggest one Arch?

Live long and prosper

Archmage Atlantis: Yes, might not be popular tho, ..... if we were created to live forever, would we want to?......it is a transhumanist strain of thought that that is the goal of creation.
Archmage Atlantis: I am not convinced yet
milakel Resident: yes, please. i would.
Hokon Cazalet: id like to live a few thousand years, maybe not forever, but that'd be a nice run
milakel Resident: :)
milakel Resident: i agree
Hokon Cazalet: =)
SophiaSharon Larnia: what would you do with the time, Mila?
milakel Resident: the sad part is losing your loved ones
milakel Resident: Sharon, live and travel
Hokon Cazalet: yeah that would suck, if your the only one with that lifespan
Hokon Cazalet: oo id definitely travel
milakel Resident: two thousand years is a good term to actually visit all the places on earth :)
Aphrodite Macbain: I would be afraid that I would add to the overpopulation of the earth, and I'm not sure if I would have the energy to live much past 90!
Hokon Cazalet: hehe milakel
Hokon Cazalet: hehe aphor
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes, if you liked it you could stay 100 years
oO0Oo Resident: I might use the time to perfect and enjoy pizza :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: :P Some pizza!
Aphrodite Macbain: very large pizza – deep crust
milakel Resident: oh yes, one note. i'd like to be in my 20s for the rest of my two thousand years life :)
Hokon Cazalet: lol
Hokon Cazalet: hehe yes me too milakel
milakel Resident: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: oh now you’re asking for a lot Mila!
SophiaSharon Larnia: laughs
milakel Resident: eh... yes, i know :)
Archmage Atlantis: There are many ways to lose loved ones that do not involve those whom one loves living for a shorter time
Hokon Cazalet: yup that’s true arch

Pizza and all that pizzazz

Archmage Atlantis: And only NYC pizza.....no chain pizza
Hokon Cazalet: hehe
Archmage Atlantis: Or Chicago stype
Hokon Cazalet: although i live in chicago, i prefer nyc style pizza
milakel Resident: archy, tell us about chicago's pizza
milakel Resident: or hokon :)
Hokon Cazalet: =)
Hokon Cazalet: one word: yummy
milakel Resident: :)
Hokon Cazalet: deep dish is pretty cool actually, lots of yumminess in just one slice
Hokon Cazalet: its a literal pie of cheese and meats
milakel Resident: ah, nice
milakel Resident: ok, i want pizza now
Archmage Atlantis: NYC = thin crust baked in a 500+ wood or brick oven
Aphrodite Macbain shakes her head in amazement as the conversation diverts to the discussion of pizza
Hokon Cazalet: lol milakel
milakel Resident: :)
Hokon Cazalet: lol aphro
Archmage Atlantis: just sauce and cheese
Hokon Cazalet: MWHAHAHA!!!
oO0Oo Resident: Maybe with more time, we would see the point of the movie "Groundhog Day', live with less attachment, cause less problems, and find ways to be helpful... (contracting to pizza perfection might be a start for me)
Hokon Cazalet: hehe i have actually thought of that recently oO0Oo
Archmage Atlantis: Chicago = deep dish, almost a pizza lisagane
oO0Oo Resident: hehehe
Hokon Cazalet: yup pretty much arch
oO0Oo Resident thinks of lasagna as a pizza 'topping'
SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
oO0Oo Resident: lol
milakel Resident: sam, such a nice movie
Hokon Cazalet: ive actually thought about the character “doctor  (WHO?)’ who recently, how he doesn’t belong to any time or place, that kind of non-attachment, try to imagine myself that way sometimes
Archmage Atlantis: Of course now there are CA style with fresh veggies, and Southern style with bbq c hicken
Aphrodite Macbain begins to feel full of pasta
SophiaSharon Larnia: Hokon :)
Hokon Cazalet: =)
milakel Resident: bbq chicken - yum :)
Hokon Cazalet: hehe
milakel Resident: archy, you're a real expert on American pizza :)
Hokon Cazalet: i used to think non-attachment was a bad thing, but recently I’ve begun to see why its a virtue of sorts, pretty cool =)
Hokon Cazalet: hehe yup he is
Archmage Atlantis: Perhaps life is in the inventing....less in the being
Archmage Atlantis: Been around the US, Mila
SophiaSharon Larnia: being inventing
oO0Oo Resident: with the universe as a topping.. who could get attached?
milakel Resident: archy, what's ny pizza like?
Hokon Cazalet: hehe
oO0Oo Resident: it's all love
Aphrodite Macbain raises a quizzical eyebrow
milakel Resident: :)
Aphrodite Macbain tries to imagine the universe as a topping.
SophiaSharon Larnia: on second thought, if you knew everything, the idea of "inventing" is ridiculous
Archmage Atlantis: Agree Samúð, but for those who have not had love, we start with pizza
Aphrodite Macbain: sounds heavy man!
milakel Resident: *admires Aph's quizzical eyebrow* :)
Hokon Cazalet: my doctoral thesis: the metaphysics of pizza and cosmology
SophiaSharon Larnia: yay
milakel Resident: oh, good topic :)
Hokon Cazalet: =)
oO0Oo Resident wonders why salivary glands are working overtime at the moment
Hokon Cazalet: lol
Aphrodite Macbain suggests to Samuo that he eats a sandwich
milakel Resident: what's ny pizza like?
Aphrodite Macbain: very very good
SophiaSharon Larnia: feeding physical and mental
Aphrodite Macbain: good combo
Archmage Atlantis: It is time for me to participate in meditation
SophiaSharon Larnia: erm, intellectual, or something
Archmage Atlantis: Blessings and Namaste
milakel Resident: bye, archy
Hokon Cazalet waves to arch
SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Arch
Aphrodite Macbain: Take care Arch
oO0Oo Resident: humans are living longer and longer.. it throws up some challenges
oO0Oo Resident: bye Arch
Hokon Cazalet: yup
