Sylectra Darwin: please exucse me - I need to switch computers
Wol Euler: okay :)
oO0Oo Resident: no worries Sylectra
Wol Euler: how are we all today?
oO0Oo Resident: we are all, then we must be all ;)
Wol Euler chuckles.
--BELL--
Wol Euler: a good answer to an ambiguously phrased question :)
oO0Oo Resident zooms in to see reindeer with red nose on Wol's T-shirt which reminds me of a cute video
Wol Euler grins.
oO0Oo Resident: I know that for some.. cute animal videos are far too widespread, but I like them, and well.. this one is short.
Wol Euler smiles.
oO0Oo Resident: I thought it kind of remarkable : http://is.gd/u8c3fL
Wol Euler watches
Wol Euler melts
Wol Euler: yes, I know that one, it's remarkable
oO0Oo Resident: :)

Multiverse1 Resident: hello all
Multiverse1 Resident: never been here, why?
Wol Euler: because we ask :)
Multiverse1 Resident: shhh
Wol Euler: I'll give you an introduction then
Multiverse1 Resident: why do we ask?
--BELL--
Multiverse1 Resident: yes i've been here at least 20 increments
Multiverse1 Resident: i know the drill
Multiverse1 Resident: thanks for asking, and thanx Bell~!
Multiverse1 Resident: 97 seconds
Wol Euler: good :)
Multiverse1 Resident: obliterated
Wol Euler: the drill is why we ask, apart from a general curiosity and desire to make conversation
Multiverse1 Resident: so what is you alls topic?
Multiverse1 Resident: this increment?
Multiverse1 Resident: hi sam
Wol Euler: none so far.
Wol Euler: do you have a meditation practice?
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Multi !
Multiverse1 Resident: no topics are the best. they can lead in any direction.
Multiverse1 Resident: to your right for example
Wol Euler: re-wb syl :)
Multiverse1 Resident: or left or up or down
Sylectra Darwin: thanks, hope I can hold steady this time
oO0Oo Resident: If people are interested, I saw a video 4+ minutes on considering consciousness as singular.. was interesting to me.. Ken Wilbur.
Wol Euler: oh yes, that does sound interesting. Do you have a URL?
oO0Oo Resident: :) http://is.gd/cxlnsE
Wol Euler waves to Observerm
Wol Euler: ty
Sylectra Darwin waves to Observerm
oO0Oo Resident: wb Syl, Hi Obs :)
Sylectra Darwin: ty Sam!
Multiverse1 Resident: or on a tangent with a cylinder at 132x 456yand 678z at 45to the thrirty third power of human existance, for example. perhaps we should speak of the ants in this current increment?
Multiverse1 Resident: or vtrees
Multiverse1 Resident: or bees?
Multiverse1 Resident: or fingers on a keyboard?
Multiverse1 Resident: ha, play at being
Multiverse1 Resident: just bee
Multiverse1 Resident: real
Multiverse1 Resident: laughing dragon. how is your being?
Multiverse1 Resident: nobody home
Wol Euler: wondering who "laughing dragon" is
Sylectra Darwin: ?
Multiverse1 Resident: Ewan
Wol Euler: oh, right, his group tag
Wol Euler: hadn't noticed that.
Sylectra Darwin: yes of course! hehe
Multiverse1 Resident: somebody did that to me with " Occupy SL " on my head
Multiverse1 Resident: Hi Selectra!
Multiverse1 Resident: the " Gaurdian "
Multiverse1 Resident: Edwardian
Sylectra Darwin: hiya!
Multiverse1 Resident: I like the Fish!
Sylectra Darwin: technical difficulties prevented me from joining earlier
Sylectra Darwin: Not mine - whose fish?
Multiverse1 Resident: the guardian of my being?
--BELL--
Multiverse1 Resident: no problems in 132555663 increments
Multiverse1 Resident: so far
Wol Euler: ((shhhh))
Multiverse1 Resident: thank you bell
Multiverse1 Resident: and i am on a mission this tyme period
Wol Euler: it seems Aph dropped them, sylectra
Multiverse1 Resident: i have procured chaulk
Multiverse1 Resident: 4 a pool table
Multiverse1 Resident: and i will play a game
Multiverse1 Resident: be well and celebrate life!
Wol Euler: you too
Sylectra Darwin: be well!
Sylectra Darwin: love that blessing
Wol Euler smiles.
oO0Oo Resident: Loves love of blessings
Sylectra Darwin: Samuo, that's a new look for you - you look very statuesque. :)
oO0Oo Resident: Wishes fishes well
oO0Oo Resident: alabaster statue perhaps hehe
Wol Euler: :)
oO0Oo Resident: avaie appearance to suit Xirana's art gown
Wol Euler: oh?
Sylectra Darwin: Fabulous
oO0Oo Resident: nice instead of.."I've nothing to wear", it's "i need a new body to suit this dress" hahaha
Wol Euler: heheh
Sylectra Darwin: I love that you can do that here!
Sylectra Darwin: I have so many hairstyles, it's like I am that lady in the Oz books who puts on a different head to suit her moods.
oO0Oo Resident laughs
Sylectra Darwin: I remember another PaB friend who said she chose a smooth black ball as her avatar for a while.
oO0Oo Resident: I have those days ;)
Ewan Bonham: Placing our own inner expressions into outer expressions...:)
oO0Oo Resident: sometimes it's easier to be an object without a lot of familiar expectations
Wol Euler nods.
Ewan Bonham: And tolet that object express spontaneously...:)
Wol Euler: oh btw, if anyone wants some superb free avatars, Grendel's Children is giving away a bundle for free toay
Wol Euler: *today
oO0Oo Resident: Thanks Wol.. ::takes Note::
oO0Oo Resident: Just for the spirit of the season?
Wol Euler: it may be today only ... the note was ambiguous
oO0Oo Resident: an avie clearance?
Wol Euler: I think just seasonal generosity
Wol Euler: though they have reduced their landholding = store size recently ...
Sylectra Darwin: I love Grendel's Children
Wol Euler nods.
Sylectra Darwin: oh dear, that's too bad
Sylectra Darwin: I thought mesh was going to fix the prim limit thing
Wol Euler: on the contrary, one mesh object counts as several prims
Sylectra Darwin: So, sculptie might be more conservative of prims?
Wol Euler: definitely, at least as far as the Lab is currently accounting them
--BELL--
oO0Oo Resident: The day when a good number of avatars can be in the same general area, wear what they want, move freely and smoothly, without chat, or other forms of lag.. that will be a good day.
Wol Euler: mmhmm :)
Ewan Bonham: Thank you all...appreciate your company..:)
Wol Euler: bye ewan, happy festivus to you and yours.
Ewan Bonham: Will see you soon and have a Happy Holiday...:)
oO0Oo Resident: Good to see you Ewan.. tc
oO0Oo Resident: Be well :)
Sylectra Darwin: I always enjoy it when people add to the atmosphere here with some decorations....never think of them myself but then I see what someone else did and I like it!
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: I hesitate to impose my decoration on hter people's places, but I like it when it happens
Wol Euler: so I just wear decorations
Sylectra Darwin: You ARE a decoration!
oO0Oo Resident: :)
Wol Euler: awwwww
oO0Oo Resident: aw
Wol Euler: ty
Sylectra Darwin: Wol, your antlers remind me of a gift that a friend made for me.
Wol Euler: mmm?
Sylectra Darwin: look familiar?
Wol Euler: heheh
Wol Euler: perhaps yours are the original! and we all have clones
Wol Euler: I changed the scripting in these to switch between random colours
Sylectra Darwin: Not sure, they were gifted to me in 2007, by Damanda Bade.
oO0Oo Resident smiles.. Yaku gave me mine last Christmas :)
Sylectra Darwin: lovely
Wol Euler smiles.
Sylectra Darwin: I've always wanted to be a Christmas ungulate
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Wol Euler: just need a shiny red nose now
Sylectra Darwin: Maybe ungulates know best about how to be mellow
oO0Oo Resident: One thing about virtual worlds.. they start to help one explore the economy of universal sharing in certain ways.
Wol Euler: mmhmm
oO0Oo Resident: me dashes for dictionary
Wol Euler dashes through the snow
oO0Oo Resident: (ungulate) ▸ noun: any of a number of hoofed mammals superficially similar but not necessarily closely related taxonomically ▸ adjective: having or resembling hoofs
Wol Euler: hello stevie, happy festivus!
Sylectra Darwin: Stevie :)
stevenaia Michinaga: waves to WOL, you covert to NA time quick
Wol Euler smiles
stevenaia Michinaga: hi Samud, Sylectra
--BELL--
oO0Oo Resident: Hiya Stevenaia :)
Wol Euler: going west is easier than east, longer days are easier to adapt to
Sylectra Darwin: Yes, those wacky hoofed creatures like deer, gazelle, etc.
stevenaia Michinaga: loved your moose thermometer post
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Wol Euler: true story, that really happened
stevenaia Michinaga: what does moose taste like?
Wol Euler: "oh no, the meat thermometer has no 'roast moose' setting!"
Wol Euler: somewhere between venison and beef, it was surprisingly like beef
Wol Euler: it's very lean, hardly any fat at all
stevenaia Michinaga: sounds like a feast
Wol Euler: very tasty
Wol Euler: now in a vegetarian household for a week :)
stevenaia Michinaga: waht a change
Wol Euler: really :)=
Sylectra Darwin: how do you make out with beans?
Wol Euler: the cousins and I joke about it, while there I stock up on dead animal meals :)
oO0Oo Resident: Hard to stock up on the live ones
stevenaia Michinaga: ponders if that tree behind us is a religious or political statement
Wol Euler: Syl, I actually like veggie food. I don't actually miss meat while I am here
Sylectra Darwin: ah, okay
Sylectra Darwin: sometimes I crave deli turkey but I think it's more about the salt.
stevenaia Michinaga: I could be a vegan... if I weren;t married to a meat eater ... who cooks :)
Wol Euler: hehehe
oO0Oo Resident makes mental note to buy ungulate salt lick for Syl's birthday
Wol Euler: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: lol
stevenaia Michinaga: where are you now?
stevenaia Michinaga: Wol
Wol Euler: Regina, SK
stevenaia Michinaga: thanks, do you have one with candles?
Sylectra Darwin: hehe
Wol Euler: :)
Sylectra Darwin: no but that's an outstanding idea.
oO0Oo Resident: We could do a study.. to see how long it takes for ungulate salt lick alpha to spread by sharing throughout SL
Wol Euler: I'm sure it could be easily made ...
Sylectra Darwin: Hanukkah antlers
Wol Euler: yes!
Sylectra Darwin: Menorah antlers?
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Sylectra Darwin: I would like an SL salt lick
Wol Euler smiles.
stevenaia Michinaga: sure beats glowing balls
oO0Oo Resident: no ungulate avie should be without a salt lick and an associated AO
Wol Euler: :)
Sylectra Darwin: I love candle flames, even SL ones. Fire! hehehe
stevenaia Michinaga: nods, some silly ppl put them on trees
Wol Euler: yep
Wol Euler: what's the opposite of "risk averse"?
Wol Euler: risk seeking? plain dumb?
stevenaia Michinaga: a friend of mine started her hair on fire that way, freaked us out
Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
Wol Euler: well, yes
oO0Oo Resident: burning hair.. a not so nice smell
stevenaia Michinaga: who's fish is that?
stevenaia Michinaga: behind Sylectra
stevenaia Michinaga: looks lost
Wol Euler: aph's
stevenaia Michinaga: oh
Wol Euler: there are a couple of fish of diffefent kinds
stevenaia Michinaga: I see, one big fish and a school of others
Sylectra Darwin: I thought it was supposed to go with the christmas tree somehow.
Wol Euler: perhaps it is :)
stevenaia Michinaga: fishmas tree?
Wol Euler: holy fish, silent fish
--BELL--
stevenaia Michinaga: bed time for me
stevenaia Michinaga: happy chrstmas to all
stevenaia Michinaga: have a good holiday
Sylectra Darwin: thank you
Wol Euler: bye stevie, same to you
Sylectra Darwin: happy holidays to you!
oO0Oo Resident: You too, and sleep well Stevenaia
Wol Euler: al the best
Sylectra Darwin: night!
Sylectra Darwin: Me too.
Wol Euler: bye syl, happy festivus
Sylectra Darwin: ...for the rest of us!
oO0Oo Resident: Be well ornament ungulate Syl of vast unknown qualities :)
Wol Euler smiles.
Sylectra Darwin: be well!
oO0Oo Resident: :)
Wol Euler: vast unknown qualities indeed :)
oO0Oo Resident: Snowflakes, baubles, fish and night swallows, stars and reaches.. trays of cookies.. for PaB's little helpers.. Owls and raptors cry.. shi shinto dangles, from antlers.. wrangle ideas.. into herds of tidal wave lessonings, sands left glistening, nothing missing... well wishing
Wol Euler smiles. Sweet.
Wol Euler: I have some errands to run in SL before going to bed in RL
Wol Euler: goodnight, dear sam
Wol Euler: if we don't meet again before then: have yourself a merry little christmas/yule/chanukah/festivus
oO0Oo Resident: Night Wol
