    Santoshima Resident: and to ask whether that is permitted by the new person
    Santoshima Resident: is that ok with you?
    Santoshima Resident: or have you been asked that before?

                            [ a minute or two of only teh recorded sounds of birds and fountain ...  /editor's note]


    Mellie McMinnar: so?
    Mellie McMinnar: is something wrong about me?
    Santoshima Resident: pardon?


    Wol Euler: back, reading
    Santoshima Resident: wb wol
    Wol Euler: we hadn't got as far as starting a proper conversation, just hellos and such


    Santoshima Resident: how are you Wester? how is life?


    Wol Euler: and no there is nothing wrong with you mellie


    Wester Kiranov: i am fine san, almost healthy again :-)
    Wester Kiranov: having a quiet christmas


    Mellie McMinnar: I went to two islande who had "philosophy" in the name today..... the first one almost wanted to burn me for being a scientist.... the second one almost banned me for being an agnostic


    Santoshima Resident: wonderful, wester ~


    Wol Euler: well, we are not philosophers :)


    Wol Euler: glad to hear it, wester


    Mellie McMinnar: you are not?
    Wester Kiranov: some of us are, i suppose


    Wol Euler: philosophy groups usually think that there is a single right answer to every question, and that people who disagree must be shouted down and proven wrong
    Wol Euler: we try to behave politely
    Wol Euler: that makes us unusual :)
    Korel Laloix: Try..... smiles
    Santoshima Resident: we do


    Wester Kiranov: i think polite sounds too phony actually
    Wester Kiranov: we try to listen to all viewpoints
    Wol Euler: okay, agreed
    Santoshima Resident: better, ty


    Mellie McMinnar: the problem with Sl philosophy groups is that they don't know what philosophy is all about
    Wol Euler: that is the essence of it, yes
    Korel Laloix: And I would say we succeed most of the time.
    Santoshima Resident: most times, if not all
    Wol Euler nods.


    — BELL —


    Korel Laloix: SL philosophy groups really looked like my university philosophy classes.


    Mellie McMinnar: and what does real philosophy looks like?
    Wol Euler: real philosophy looks like asking questions rather than giving answers
    Wol Euler: real philosophy looks like admitting you might be wrong rather than insisting that you must be right
    Wester Kiranov nods
    Santoshima Resident: well said


    Korel Laloix: And that is pretty much what my clases wernt.
    Wol Euler smiles.


    Mellie McMinnar: that sounds a lot like science


    Korel Laloix: No thinking, easy As.


    Wol Euler: there is an overlap, mellie :)
    Mellie McMinnar: I said that relier this day... and I almost got banned
    Wol Euler grins.
    Korel Laloix: It is all in the delivery.


    Wol Euler: any place that would ban you for saying htat, is not a place worth attending
    Wol Euler: IMHO YMMV
    Wol Euler: but yes, it does depend how you said it
    Wol Euler nods to korel


    Mellie McMinnar: I have to go now... because it is almost midnight at my place and I have to work tomorrow
    Santoshima Resident: bye mellies ~ take care
    Santoshima Resident: mellie
    Wol Euler: gute nacht, mellie, hat mich gefreut dich kennenzulernen
    Korel Laloix: ciao
    Mellie McMinnar: danke Wol, dich auch ;) and have a nice rest-Christmas you all bye ,,,, see you


    arabella Ella: Hiya!
    Santoshima Resident: hi arabella :)
    Wol Euler: hello ara, happy boxing day
    Wester Kiranov: hi ara
    arabella Ella: Happy Boxing Day and Happy St Stephen to all of you!
    Wol Euler: ha, and does the snow lay round about?
    Korel Laloix: Thanks... smiles
    arabella Ella smiles
    arabella Ella: St Wenclas is around Wol :)
    arabella Ella: or Good King Wensclas
    Wol Euler: oh, you're right. damn.
    arabella Ella: not sure how it is spelt!


    arabella Ella: just popped in briefly to say hi to everyone and to see how you all are coping!
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Wol Euler: thanks, ara. I hope you are well?
    arabella Ella: yes thanks starting to relax a bit now and to combine relaxation with a bit of work updates
    arabella Ella: yourself Wol?
    Wol Euler: eating far too much and my god it is ALL corn syrup!
    arabella Ella: he he
    Wol Euler: all I can taste is the sugar in this food
    arabella Ella: i guess we are all eating too much at the moment
    Wol Euler: I want to go home and cook for myself again
    arabella Ella: my kitchen is full of cakes and yummy stuff
    Korel Laloix: Lots of leftovers at home ... but ordered a huge steak for lunch.
    arabella Ella: nice Kori!
    Wol Euler: nice
    arabella Ella: Wol why does your tag say Tuesday if today is Wednesday?


    — BELL —


    Wol Euler: because I forgot to change it, ara :)
    arabella Ella: ah it seems to have changed now :)
    Wol Euler: yep :) thanks for the reminder
    arabella Ella: he he
    arabella Ella hums ... silence is golden ... la la la


    Wol Euler looks again to see what the topics are
    Santoshima Resident: lonliness
    Santoshima Resident: solitude
    Santoshima Resident: :)


    Korel Laloix: I was very lonely on Monday.
    Korel Laloix: Was not a good feeling.
    Wol Euler listens.
    arabella Ella: owwwww
    Wol Euler: would you like to say more?
    Korel Laloix: Just had no one around me... Reeba was out of town, Peg was busy, at work and alone.
    Wol Euler nods.
    Korel Laloix: No one was really in a chatty mood on here.
    Korel Laloix: It sorta sucked.
    Korel Laloix: Needed to talk.
    Wol Euler gives your hand a squeeze.
    Korel Laloix: I like being alone when I want it..
    Korel Laloix: Thanks.
    Wol Euler: I'm sorry I wasn't here, korel, I am finding it hard to get space for SL


    Korel Laloix: But being alone when you want to talk is rather painful on a number of levels.


    arabella Ella: that sounds very sad but from my experience with time one learns to enjoy one's own company as I guess most people experience a great deal of lonliness ... more than we may wish to admit to!
    Wester Kiranov: Was there anything you wanted to talk about? Or did you just want company?
    Korel Laloix: No worries... smiles
    Korel Laloix: Have a lot on my mind the last few days.
    Wol Euler listens.
    Santoshima Resident: < listens
    Wester Kiranov listens too
    arabella Ella sends virtual hugs to Kori!
    Korel Laloix: Nothing I want recorded, but thanks for the offer.
    Wol Euler: okay :)
    Korel Laloix: FOund some kind ears to abuse eventually ...
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Korel Laloix: Just this time of year emotions are amplified I think.
    arabella Ella nods
    Korel Laloix: For good or bad.
    Wol Euler: absolutel!
    Wol Euler: y
    Wol Euler: and expectations are high
    arabella Ella: lots of stress and pressures too
    Korel Laloix: But I am so greatful there are people here willing to listen and chat ...
    Korel Laloix: I do my share of that as well.


    Wol Euler: there's a social pressure to be happy and friendly and loving this week which is not present in other weeks
    Korel Laloix: True.
    Wol Euler: you are allowed to avoid your family 51 weeks a year, but this week we have to meet and like them
    arabella Ella: not just that Wol also pressure to look happy and to have fun
    Wol Euler: that's hard work!
    arabella Ella: you bettcha


    arabella Ella: i'm afraid i got to go as i said i only popped in briefly to say hi but lovely to see you all ... good night hugs to all!


    Korel Laloix: Unfortunatly I actually had to see my mother yesterday ... so you are right about not being able to avoid the whole year.


    Wol Euler: goodnight! enjoy the holiday, ara
    Santoshima Resident: bye arabella ~ sweet dreams
    Korel Laloix: Take care.
    Wester Kiranov: good night ara
    Wol Euler: oh, how did that go?
    Wol Euler: (if you want to say - points at the recorder)
    Korel Laloix: Did not say a word to her ... happy about that.
    Wol Euler: good
    Wol Euler: so self-control won :)
    Santoshima Resident: i claimed, wol ... and can edit as you like, korel
    Korel Laloix: lol


    — BELL —


    Korel Laloix: No worries.
    Wol Euler rubs your shoulder and smiles.
    Santoshima Resident: bye for now ~ thank you for this gathering
    Wester Kiranov: bye san
    Wol Euler: bye san, enjoy the holiday
    Santoshima Resident: ty, and you
    Korel Laloix: Ciao


    Wol Euler: the three graces, or the three monkeys
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Korel Laloix: I really have abuse PaB for free therapy a bit much ... so thanks for the understanding the last couple of years ...
    Wol Euler chuckles.
    Wol Euler: not abuse, that's what friends do
    Korel Laloix: Well, early on I think I was just probably annoyoing ... read some of the old logs.
    Wol Euler: oh no, never
    Korel Laloix smiles
    Wol Euler: we have dealt with people who were MUCH worse than you :)
    Wol Euler grins.
    Wester Kiranov: we all do have the option of telling you if you get annoying. and we're not afraid to use it if necessary
    Korel Laloix: Oh good ... smiles
    Wol Euler: yep
    Korel Laloix: I would hate to miss out on the feedback ...
    Wol Euler nods.


    Korel Laloix: But PaB has been great for me in someways.
    Wol Euler: it's been a very good place for me too
    Korel Laloix: I think for a lot of people really.
    Wol Euler: yes
    Wol Euler: a great comfort and resource


    Korel Laloix: And I have had a couple of very serious breakthroughs from SL.
    Wol Euler: and I am very grateful for the RL retreats I attended
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Korel Laloix: Specially from chats with PaB people.
    Korel Laloix: Raffi really helped me out once in particular.
    Korel Laloix: Helped me see some things.
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Korel Laloix: OK ... off to do some SL modeling ... lol ... take care all.
    Korel Laloix: Thanks for the chat.
    Wol Euler: :)
    Wol Euler: take care, korel, enjoy the holiday
    Wester Kiranov: bye korel take care
    Korel Laloix: Ciao all


    Wol Euler: it's unusual to see you at this time, wester
    Wester Kiranov: i know
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Wester Kiranov: i'm having some quite unstructured days.
    Wester Kiranov: hubby is off with the children, and no work either
    Wol Euler: nice!
    Wester Kiranov: i am enjoying it, yes
    Wol Euler: so you have the house to yourself?
    Wester Kiranov: all to myself
    Wol Euler: great!
    Wol Euler: "solitude and loneliness"
    Wol Euler grins.
    Wester Kiranov: very solitary, and not lonely at all
    Wol Euler: good :)
    Wester Kiranov smiles
    Wol Euler: the quiet is probably helping your recovery too
    Wol Euler: low stress
    Wester Kiranov: i don't know. i've gotten better at not doing more than is good for me, the last year


    — BELL —


    Wol Euler: that's a very good skill, I should practice it
    Wester Kiranov: i didn't have much choice.
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wester Kiranov: just a nice leftover of an unfortunate situation
    Wol Euler: true
    Wester Kiranov: btw, i said i was better at it, not that i am good at it now


    Wol Euler: hello aggers
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay ♥


    Wol Euler: heh, subtle distinction


    Wester Kiranov: hi aga
    Wester Kiranov: nice outfit
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello Wollie, wester
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, seasonal
    Wol Euler waits for rezzing


    Agatha Macbeth: Oh I missed Sun's building class :(
    Agatha Macbeth: Damn
    Wol Euler nods.


    Agatha Macbeth: How are you Wester?
    Agatha Macbeth: Healthy I hope
    Wester Kiranov: almost healthy now
    Agatha Macbeth: Good :)
    Wol Euler smiles.


    Agatha Macbeth: I have a pretty lousy cold
    Wester Kiranov: oh, that's bad
    Wol Euler frowns.
    Agatha Macbeth: Comes from walking about in the rain all the time
    Wol Euler: yeah
    Wol Euler: well, take care of yourself, dear aggers
    Agatha Macbeth: How's your state of health Wol, any better?
    Wol Euler: better yes, coughing much less and at a lower intensity
    Agatha Macbeth: As long as the cough doesn't bring anything up with, that's good news
    Wol Euler: mmhmm


    Agatha Macbeth: Nice to see somebody here, I came in earlier and nobody on the sim
    Wol Euler: I haven't been able to attend as often as I wanted
    Agatha Macbeth: All involved with RL I guess
    Wol Euler: this session is at 4pm = teatime
    Wol Euler: sacrosanct!
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, family comes first
    Wol Euler: had to trick them into having tea earlier today
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Agatha Macbeth: Seems like you succeeded
    Wol Euler: this time, yes
    Wol Euler: remains to be seen if I can pull it off again


    Agatha Macbeth: What's the weather like there?
    Wol Euler: cold
    Wol Euler: threat of up to 25cm of snow tonight, a storm system approaching from the south
    Agatha Macbeth: No snow atm then?
    Wol Euler: none
    Agatha Macbeth: It's quite warm here
    Wol Euler: I'd call it a green christmas except that the grass is actually brownish from drought
    Agatha Macbeth: Good lord
    Agatha Macbeth: Brown grass in Canada - imagine
    Wol Euler: fairly typical of toronto in summer
    Agatha Macbeth: Mmm
    Wol Euler: they had no rain until September
    Agatha Macbeth: What did that do for the harvest?
    Wol Euler: none during the summer, I mean
    Agatha Macbeth: -g
    Wol Euler: well, most of the farming is on the prairies, that is several thousand km away


    Wester Kiranov: i think i will go to bed soon
    Wester Kiranov: bye guys
    Agatha Macbeth: Sleep well Wester, nice to see you
    Agatha Macbeth: Be well
    Wol Euler: bye wester, lovely ot see you again
    Wol Euler: take care


    Wol Euler: how are you?
    Agatha Macbeth: Apart from this cold I'm good
    Wol Euler: good :)


    — BELL —


    Agatha Macbeth: How's the family?
    Wol Euler: both better and worse than I expected
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh
    Wol Euler: less acute, more chronic
    Agatha Macbeth: Hmm


    Wol Euler: Dad is no longer ill, but his general health is far worse than expected
    Agatha Macbeth: :(
    Wol Euler: he won't drink, sleeps all day, hardly eats
    Wol Euler: just cannot get him to drink
    Wol Euler: he takes in maybe a half litre per day, one litre at the very most
    Agatha Macbeth: Dehydration is never a good thing...
    Wol Euler: so he dehydrates, whcih makes all his other problems worse
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Wol Euler: but he will not drink
    Agatha Macbeth: How much does he weigh now?
    Wol Euler: I don't know. Less than he did
    Wol Euler: his clothes hang on him
    Agatha Macbeth: Mm, right
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
    Wol Euler: his general stability is also extremely variable. There are days he needs his walker, and still staggers; others he can walk unaided


    Agatha Macbeth: Remind me, how old is he?
    Wol Euler: 84
    Agatha Macbeth: Right
    Agatha Macbeth: And the weird thing is, I know of people in their 90s who seem fit as a fiddle
    Wol Euler: his mother, both aunts, and both brothers died within a year of their 85th birthdays, so mom is worried
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Wol Euler: yes, ageing has nothing to do with numerical age
    Agatha Macbeth: This is true
    Agatha Macbeth: Very much down to the individual
    Wol Euler: mom at 80 is far better off than he, hardly any coplaints at all
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: Health has much to do with genes and individual metabolism, that kinda stuff
    Wol Euler: mmhmm
    Wol Euler: and an awful lot to do with luck
    Agatha Macbeth: Can vary hugely


    Wol Euler: he was fine until he had a stroke a few years ago
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes
    Agatha Macbeth: What kind of work did he do?
    Wol Euler: words :)
    Wol Euler: edited and wrote schoolbooks, then taught publishing
    Agatha Macbeth: Sounds good :)
