[19:07] Paradise Tennant: hiya cal .. just posting my log from thursday and trying to do a digital sketch :)) how are you :)
[19:08] Calvino Rabeni: hi...
[19:10] Calvino Rabeni: I'm well ..
[19:10] Paradise Tennant: how it mitzy do you ever hear from her :))
[19:11] Calvino Rabeni: I did, a time or two, it was like "sorry, been really busy with these RL things, don't think me rude.."
[19:12] Calvino Rabeni: Hot weather here ... I've been doing outdoor work, it really makes one feel the season
[19:12] stevenaia Michinaga: greeetings
[19:12] Calvino Rabeni: Hi stevenaia :)
[19:13] stevenaia Michinaga: Hi Cal, ParA
[19:13] Paradise Tennant: smiles yes ..
[19:13] Calvino Rabeni: grunt work ... house painting prep.
[19:13] Paradise Tennant: miss mitzy she was so sparky :)
[19:13] Paradise Tennant: smiles grunt work is very satisfying though when it is done
[19:13] stevenaia Michinaga: I get to do that shortly, painting all my windows
[19:14] Calvino Rabeni: I'm hoping for a run of cooler weather because the paint cannot go on if it is over 90
[19:14] Calvino Rabeni: it is satisfying , if achy :)
[19:14] stevenaia Michinaga: neither can I
[19:15] Calvino Rabeni: duh ... cal gets the joke :)

[19:19] stevenaia Michinaga: I am very slow at painting and wait for cooler weather
[19:19] stevenaia Michinaga: the scarping, sanding, priming, reglasing doesn;t help either
[19:20] Paradise Tennant: nods :))) like the taping :)))
[19:20] Paradise Tennant: and like playing with the colours
[19:20] Calvino Rabeni: Mitzi is sparky .. took after her old man ... her father was a philosopher and a bit of a bohemian so you can imagine what the social scene was like when she was young and impressionable
[19:21] Calvino Rabeni: (sorry, text is so slow I'm lag-talking)
[19:22] Paradise Tennant: no worries ..sunday night .. all is good :))
[19:22] Calvino Rabeni: I'm using oxygen bleach this time for the prep ... it seems much better ecologically and no odour .. I don't mind getting it all over
[19:23] Calvino Rabeni: works surprisingly well
[19:23] stevenaia Michinaga: my paint need scraping, it is very old and cracking :) needs more than a cleaning

[19:24] Paradise Tennant: smiles there is a always a better way :)
[19:25] stevenaia Michinaga: yes, find someone who enjoys this sort of things
[19:26] stevenaia Michinaga: and who works for chocolate cake
[19:26] Calvino Rabeni: this takes the old stain off down to the wood
[19:28] Paradise Tennant: smiles I work for chocolate cake ..if you wife is the one that made it :)))
[19:29] Calvino Rabeni: :) cake economy
[19:29] Paradise Tennant: yes or chocolate silk pie ! as a trading currency :)) we would all be happier
[19:30] Paradise Tennant: banking might be an issue
[19:30] Calvino Rabeni: choconomics!
[19:31] stevenaia Michinaga: finally, there would be a point when you know you had enough
[19:31] Paradise Tennant: lol !!!! YES !!!!
[19:32] Paradise Tennant: and much easier to share :)))
[19:32] stevenaia Michinaga: nods, you can only have what you can eat
[19:32] stevenaia Michinaga: because that is enough
[19:32] Calvino Rabeni: !
[19:33] stevenaia Michinaga: fort knox would be a giant freezer
[19:34] Calvino Rabeni: hehe
[19:34] Paradise Tennant: we could make our own currency .. there would be little portable ovens :))
[19:35] Calvino Rabeni: bars and coins
[19:37] Paradise Tennant: yes little bundt cakes for cab fare major slab cakes for renovations:)

[19:38] Calvino Rabeni: imagine an economy based on quality
[19:38] stevenaia Michinaga: there are limitation when buying cars and houses
[19:38] stevenaia Michinaga: would have to be very special pastery
[19:39] stevenaia Michinaga: paper money is just to convenient (and you can't eat it)
[19:40] Paradise Tennant: it is pretend .. cake is real:)
[19:40] stevenaia Michinaga: although I saw a report recently on how truffels are being stolen and conterfited,
[19:40] Paradise Tennant: we pretend it has value :)
[19:41] Paradise Tennant: really trust is the basic economic unit we use we trust that everyone else will continute to pretend it has value :)) we trust the future will simlar to now etc

[19:44] Calvino Rabeni: enough pretend = real value
[19:47] Paradise Tennant: the interesting thing about cake as a currency is that there is utility to it and an expiry date .. we cling to money long after we have enough .. so much more productive instead of flashing consumption .. we flashed our baking skilles :))
[19:47] Paradise Tennant: *if
[19:48] Calvino Rabeni: aha
[19:48] Paradise Tennant: mine you hazards too know a baker who has a lung issue from the years of playing with flour ;(
[19:49] stevenaia Michinaga: yes, my son worked for a pizza restaurant where they Owner had Ciliac (sp) desease, they eventurally made Gluten free pizza dough
[19:49] Calvino Rabeni: too much of anything eh

[19:52] Paradise Tennant: the train keeps coming through do you see it too :)
[19:53] stevenaia Michinaga: the ghost of the cars zipping through the Playgota? yes, I've been seeing it for weeks, so has San
[19:54] Paradise Tennant: smiles .. sl ghosts ? do you believe in ghosts in rl stev ?
[19:54] stevenaia Michinaga: at first we thought it was an SL halucination
[19:55] Calvino Rabeni: ghosts of ghosts
[19:56] stevenaia Michinaga: believe?... I once took a photo of an attic of a very old tavern where you could see nothing in RL, but the photo had ... shadows that weren't there in it
[19:56] Paradise Tennant: spookie :))
[19:56] stevenaia Michinaga: yes, very
[19:57] stevenaia Michinaga: but this is like the black cat,
[19:57] stevenaia Michinaga: not finfing it doesn;t mean they don;t exist
[19:57] stevenaia Michinaga: *finding
[19:58] stevenaia Michinaga: (or does it)
[19:58] stevenaia Michinaga: seems in quantum mechanics, isn;t anything probable?

[20:01] Paradise Tennant: I once went to a pschic .. with a couple of girlfriends .. a pricey pyschic one who the police use to find bodies. .. she told me I was surrounded by 13 spirits of people who loved me and I would imagine who I loved - in past lives and two dogs :)) she asked me if my dog barked a lot and told me the two dogs were very jealous of him and would tease him :)) found it interesting because sometimes I do feel I have company .. of some sort we live in a very strange world where the bulk of the information just does not get through our senses ..

[20:02] Paradise Tennant: there was an amazing article this weekend on how round the sun is :))
[20:03] Paradise Tennant: almost hard to fathom something that could be so big and so perfectly round ..
[20:03] Paradise Tennant: the roundest thing they have ever measured is an electron ..but the sun is close

[20:03] stevenaia Michinaga: square would be stranger
[20:03] Calvino Rabeni: 12 km off round
[20:03] Calvino Rabeni: but why?
[20:04] stevenaia Michinaga: even the earth is pear shaped
[20:04] stevenaia Michinaga: why whould square be strange?
