SophiaSharon Larnia: yesterday was really nice, it was the first time we've done something like that

Korel Laloix: I deliberately did not come.

SophiaSharon Larnia: :)

SophiaSharon Larnia: I'm not sure, but are either of you thinking about doing an art piece for the next exhibit?

SophiaSharon Larnia: the email to the group came out before you both became guardians

SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Samuo

FcSeeker Resident: Hello O

Korel Laloix: I was not planning on it, but I am considering it.

FcSeeker Resident: I'm no artist

SophiaSharon Larnia: me either, I just do it for fun

SophiaSharon Larnia: I think anyone can be an artist

Korel Laloix: I am realy not the creative type.

SophiaSharon Larnia: thats kind of putting a lot of pressure on the word 'artist' :)

SophiaSharon Larnia: i didnt think i was either, and still dont

oO0Oo Resident: agree Sophia, and Korel.. the poem you wrote and gave as a notecard was very moving... very well 

done I felt.

SophiaSharon Larnia: oh i missed that

Korel Laloix: Thanks... I was just a bit angry when I wrote it.

oO0Oo Resident nods

Korel Laloix: And why I did not participate in the stuff yesterday.

SophiaSharon Larnia: listens

SophiaSharon Larnia: yes 

Korel Laloix: Feel free to pass it on if you like.

SophiaSharon Larnia: thank you

SophiaSharon Larnia: its a really messed up line to walk on there

Korel Laloix: I am not one to talk down to the way other people approach things...... but as Pab sat in silence yesterday stats suggest in the US alone, one child and one woman were abused to death.

SophiaSharon Larnia: nods

Korel Laloix: And there were probably around 50 rapes or sex assaults.

Korel Laloix: So instead yesterday, I managed to sign up 14 more for our womens' self defense class.

SophiaSharon Larnia: great

SophiaSharon Larnia: i didnt think of my sitting for an hour would diminish other work that I do

Korel Laloix: My personality likes action more than talk.

SophiaSharon Larnia: nods

 

--BELL--

 

Korel Laloix: Not saying it did, I just could not participate in that sort of appoach.

SophiaSharon Larnia: nods

SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Bruce :)

SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Bleu :)

FcSeeker Resident: hi Bleu

FcSeeker Resident: hi Bruce

Korel Laloix: Heya

Bleu Oleander: hi everyone :)

oO0Oo Resident: Hi Bruce, and Bleu :)

FcSeeker Resident: hi Susan

Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Sharon, Bleu, Korel, and o.

Bruce Mowbray: and Fc!

Korel Laloix: osiyo

FcSeeker Resident: oh...I thought I saw Susan to appear

SophiaSharon Larnia: we were talking about silence day yesterday, and actions rather than talk

Bruce Mowbray listens to catch the drift.

Bleu Oleander: I think talk is good, but needs the action with it or it is meaningless to me

FcSeeker Resident: hi Zon

oO0Oo Resident: Hi Zon,

SophiaSharon Larnia: I agree Bleu

SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Zon

Bleu Oleander: hi Zon

Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Zon.

Korel Laloix: I was thinking of putting up another board, but not sure how I would do that?

SophiaSharon Larnia: another board with a poem on it?

Korel Laloix: Sort of.... just my take on peace.

Korel Laloix: And ask for inputs like the one that is up now did.

SophiaSharon Larnia: do you know any graphic software? Gimp is free

Korel Laloix: Yes, I know it.

Korel Laloix: I just don't know how to do it permissions wise.

SophiaSharon Larnia: place the texture on a prim after you upload it, oh i see

oO0Oo Resident: We could build it here now... if people were willing

Bruce Mowbray: You have permission to build here if you're a guardian. . .

Bleu Oleander: not sure about the PaB policy for displaying things, is that what you're asking Korel?

Korel Laloix: Ah.... lol.. and that is the issue.... I quit down to 8 groups and SL still tells me I have to drop groups to 

add another.

SophiaSharon Larnia: ? we should have 42 groups

Korel Laloix: I guess that is my real question.

Bruce Mowbray: I am currently in 14 groups...

Zon Kwan: waves

Agatha Macbeth: Evening all

SophiaSharon Larnia: Hi Aggers, Hi Arch :)

Bleu Oleander: is there a new limit on how many groups?

Korel Laloix: Any, if anyone wants a copy, I can give you the notecard... and then I can collect things you are interested in adding.

Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Aggers and Arch.

Bleu Oleander: hey Aggers

Korel Laloix: I think SL is just being SL.

SophiaSharon Larnia: well, the new limit is 42 (not so new actually)

SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Zon

oO0Oo Resident: Hiya Aggers and Arch :)

oO0Oo Resident: By Zon

Korel Laloix: Heya

Bleu Oleander: hi Arch

SophiaSharon Larnia: so to rez/build here, you'd need to part of the playasbeinghere group

Bruce Mowbray: I'd love a copy of your note card, Korel.

Korel Laloix: Enjoy, or not.

SophiaSharon Larnia: (gave bruce and bleu a notecard of what we talked about Korel)

Korel Laloix: OK

FcSeeker Resident: hi Archmage

FcSeeker Resident: hi Aggers

Archmage Atlantis: Hello

Agatha Macbeth strokes FC's head

Bleu Oleander: has everyone taken a copy of the Day of Peace poem? should I take it down now?

SophiaSharon Larnia: called 'staring at a wood prim, waiting for inspiration'

Bleu Oleander: take care all :)

Agatha Macbeth: Nice boots Bleu

Bleu Oleander: thx :)

Agatha Macbeth waves

FcSeeker Resident: waves to Bleu

SophiaSharon Larnia: ah, 2 notecards Bruce?

Agatha Macbeth: Ah, good

 

--BELL--

 

SophiaSharon Larnia: i meant textures

oO0Oo Resident: 

SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Samuo

Agatha Macbeth waves

FcSeeker Resident: waves to O

Korel Laloix: Just my thoughts on Peace, if anyone wants to add things they have done to "make peace" please let me know and I will add them.

Bruce Mowbray: bye, O

SophiaSharon Larnia: just have done volunteer work, nothing I could put on there

FcSeeker Resident: worked a bit more than 10 years for that among young people, but dont want that to been set onto any board

Korel Laloix: ok

Bruce Mowbray: I admire anyone who can put herself between the abuser and the person being abused . . . (especially if that is a child.)

SophiaSharon Larnia nods

Bruce Mowbray: One effective means of promoting non-violence is for someone to step between the warring parties - - and they might have a chance to think more about why they are fighting, and then stop it.

FcSeeker Resident: thinking one 10 year old boy who's mom was very bad to him often

Bruce Mowbray listens.

FcSeeker Resident: he asked me not to make any report because he prefere lives with mom and his babysister than in cold and hostile children home

FcSeeker Resident: that young man I saw to grow up to be very good father...

Bruce Mowbray: Fortunatetly, he was able to break the chain of abuse, Fc.

FcSeeker Resident: yes

Korel Laloix: And that is one thing that scares me.

Bruce Mowbray: all too often, abuse is passed along in the family -- father to son, and again in the next generation.

Korel Laloix: But it is also the only soft spot I have for my mother.. for her to treat me like she did, she must have had a rough life as a little girl.

Bruce Mowbray: With such awareness and compassion, Korel, you now have the power to break that chain.

Korel Laloix: Easy words to say, not so easy fears to erase.

 

--BELL--

 

SophiaSharon Larnia: theyre not

FcSeeker Resident: my mom was beaten...she didn't learn other way and was under hard work almost round o'clock when I was a child...

Bruce Mowbray: indeed, but there are many wonderful examples of folks who were able to break such chains . . .

FcSeeker Resident: so you can think how she treated me...

Bruce Mowbray: And YOU, Fc, are one of the most loving and non-violent folks around!

FcSeeker Resident: ..so it was easy for me to understand that boy because I thought the same as I still loved my mom and missed to her when had to be away from home

Agatha Macbeth: Time for me to leave grasshopper...

SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Aggers

Agatha Macbeth: Adios

FcSeeker Resident: hi Aggers

Bruce Mowbray: Folks, I really don't want to leave this discussion, but I'm going to the Cafe to see if there's a WoK meeting today . . . and if not, I'll beback.

Bruce Mowbray: Bye for now.

FcSeeker Resident: mean; bye

Korel Laloix: ok... ciao.

SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Bruce, and yes, thank you for the discussion

SophiaSharon Larnia: I'm going to finish my project if I can, online time limited

SophiaSharon Larnia: bye for now

Korel Laloix: take care.

FcSeeker Resident: waves to Sophia

FcSeeker Resident: takes a humble bow

FcSeeker Resident: namaste

Korel Laloix: OK. I am off as well.. take care.
