2013.05.27 13:00 - Being Static and Fluid in Silly Slippers

The Guardian for this um, fun & messy "retreat" session, was Eliza Madrigal :)

Eliza Madrigal: Hi Cat and Rosatta :)
Rosatta Resident: Hello Cat and Eliza : )
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Eliza Rosatta :)
Eliza Madrigal: I hope not to land on you with the scenery I'm about to install..
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: please pardon in advance :)
Rosatta Resident: Do you need me to move forward?
Eliza Madrigal: it might help, yes, thanks
Eliza Madrigal: I think after it is correctly situated it will be fine
Catrinamonblue Resident: beautiful :)
Eliza Madrigal: I've lowered it a little so that it feels we are on a platform in the trees ^^
Eliza Madrigal: Storm's trick ;-)
Rosatta Resident: It looks like the sand hills of North Carolina : )
Catrinamonblue Resident: nice
Eliza Madrigal: NC is such a wonderful place
Eliza Madrigal: at least to vacation in :)
Eliza Madrigal: Catrina, I'm not sure if you know that these sessions have longer pauses than usual now...
Eliza Madrigal: it is meant to be a bit closer to a retreat session
Catrinamonblue Resident: I know, I have been reading :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) just making sure
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: beautiful dress Rosatta, you're just now rezzed
Rosatta Resident: Ty : )
Rosatta Resident: It's a Gor gown. I tossed the veil and head covering lol
Eliza Madrigal: wow :)

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: Hi Agatha :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hello :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Agatha :)
Agatha Macbeth: (again)
Agatha Macbeth: WB Cat
Catrinamonblue Resident: ty :)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh Liz, you are a cloud :(
Eliza Madrigal: let me rebake for you
Agatha Macbeth: TY
Catrinamonblue Resident: smiles to me too though I didn't want to mention it :)
Rosatta Resident: How does one rebake?
Catrinamonblue Resident: and now I'm doubling lines
Eliza Madrigal: :) cloud with spinach in my teeth?
Agatha Macbeth: ctrl-alt-R
Catrinamonblue Resident: poof there you are :)
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Eliza Madrigal smiles, ty
Rosatta Resident: And in a totally gorgeous gown : )
Agatha Macbeth: Return of the Liz
Eliza Madrigal: ty.... whimsical flowers... feel lighter wearing this
Rosatta Resident: Would rebaking work when just one part of me won't rezz past the gray stage?
Eliza Madrigal: sometimes
Agatha Macbeth: Should do Rosie
Rosatta Resident: I have some anime eyes that I really like, but a couple of times I've had people tell me they don't rezz for them
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, that might be their viewer
Rosatta Resident: I'm wearing some that were given to me last night because of this, but I really like the other ones
Rosatta Resident: Ok. Ty Agatha

Agatha Macbeth: Try them and I'll tell you
Rosatta Resident: ok
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Korel
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, i see them fine
Rosatta Resident: The person last night had the same viewer I have but I could see my eyes and she could not
Agatha Macbeth: Osiyo K
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Kori :)
Korel Laloix: Heya
Agatha Macbeth: I see them, they're nice
Eliza Madrigal: yes, dramatic
Rosatta Resident: Ty : )
Agatha Macbeth: I love big eyes
Rosatta Resident: Ty : )

Agatha Macbeth: Ooh this is a lovely backdrop
Catrinamonblue Resident: nods in agreement
Rosatta Resident: I have been working to get an innocent but mischevious look for my fair personae - large eyes help with the innocent part
Eliza Madrigal: I believe this is "Austrian Forest"
Rosatta Resident: We're in Austria! Cool : )
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Agatha Macbeth: Innocent but mischevous - love that
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)

Eliza Madrigal: So in a few minutes, at 1:10, I'll ring the bell for our longer pause... returning after the second fountain bell
Rosatta Resident: Ty : )
Eliza Madrigal: just as a reminder
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Ding
Eliza Madrigal: not dinging just yet :P
Rosatta Resident: What was this weeks' topic?
Rosatta Resident: I need to write these down
Agatha Macbeth: Er
Eliza Madrigal: well it is unusual, and maybe we can figure out how to approach it during the first pause
Rosatta Resident: lol too late, we're in Austria now - far away from the board that lists them
Eliza Madrigal: it is, I think, :being - static or fluid?
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, right
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Wol
Wol Euler: evening all!
Eliza Madrigal: it is incomprehensible so we can be creative with it, hah

Agatha Macbeth: Wollie ♥
Rosatta Resident: Hi, Wol : )
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Wol :) glad you made it in time for the first pause....
Wol Euler: I've been sitting at the Kira Cafe waiting, I saw you all online and couldn't figure out why nobody came.
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth shakes her head
Eliza Madrigal: Here we go... time to settle
Rosatta Resident: Is that where the dream group meets?

Eliza Madrigal: The common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that, but the seeing eye pierces through and reads the heart and the soul, finding there capacities which the outside didn't indicate or promise, and which the other kind couldn't detect.

MARK TWAIN, Joan of Arc

5 Minutes, then
--BELL--


Eliza Madrigal: :) Ty
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Fox, good to see you!
Agatha Macbeth: Wow WB Foxy :)
Fox Monacular: Hello everyone:) good to see you all
Wol Euler: _/|\_
Wol Euler: hello fox, nice to see you here again
Eliza Madrigal: my turn to ask Wol to rebake ^.^
Rosatta Resident: Fox, what do you have next to you that is yellow?
Wol Euler does.
Eliza Madrigal: ty :)
Fox Monacular: haha, I think it's yellow slippers
Eliza Madrigal: picachu
Rosatta Resident: Oh, how fun!
Fox Monacular: I haven't logged in for so long, I don't remember what I'm wearing:)))
Agatha Macbeth: Pikachu feet
Fox Monacular: yes!
Eliza Madrigal: it HAS been a very long time it seems
Fox Monacular: too long for my liking:)
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, I'm sure you wore those last time I saw you
Agatha Macbeth: :p
Eliza Madrigal: how is life and research/ life and life?
Fox Monacular: :)
Fox Monacular: very busy:)
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Fox Monacular: lots of things are going on, can't complain, never bored:)
Agatha Macbeth: Good

Catrinamonblue Resident: thinking on Eliza'a quote
Catrinamonblue Resident: There are so many layers to see, one under the other, sometimes the heart buries itself when it has been hurt deeply
Agatha Macbeth: True that

(Rosatta experiences fashion difficulties)
Rosatta Resident: Ok, I apologize for that
Rosatta Resident: I thought there was clothes in that folder
Agatha Macbeth: For what Rosie?
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Wol Euler smiles.
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Wol Euler: lots of people have been naked here before, but I think you are the first who apologized for it
Eliza Madrigal: hah
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Agatha Macbeth: The naked truth?
Eliza Madrigal: have you ever known people who seem to have their surface heart open and their deepest hidden heart open but interruptions in the middle?
Wol Euler ponders.

Fox Monacular: this is a very strange coincidence - the quote is from Joan of Arc, and tomorrow night I'm going to see Honegger's "Joan of Arc at the Stake" at the Symphony Orchestra...

Agatha Macbeth tries to work out Liz's question
Catrinamonblue Resident: I sometimes think I may be that way
Eliza Madrigal: >ding< moment of uncanny? :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: I am very open, too open about myself
Fox Monacular: weird:)
Eliza Madrigal: sometimes openness can be a shield... have seen that with myself
Rosatta Resident whispers to self Finally! What a nightmare : (
Wol Euler: sounds cheerful

Agatha Macbeth: 'Too open' - interesting concept
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes it is a shield
Eliza Madrigal: it is kind of a magic trick isn't it at times... no shadows, too bright, so what's to see
Wol Euler nods.
Catrinamonblue Resident: one I use against myself as well

Rosatta Resident: Fox, is that an opera?
Rosatta Resident: Oh, for crying out loud - that is NOT a shirt
Eliza Madrigal smiles at Rosatta :) you can work it out in the next pause, haha
Fox Monacular: it's an oratorio, I think... never heard it before.
Agatha Macbeth discreetly cams the other way
Rosatta Resident: What is an oratoriao?
Eliza Madrigal: here we go :) this is the quote I looked for before actually..
Agatha Macbeth: Like Joan of Arc you must be brave

Eliza Madrigal: The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. 
MARCEL PROUST, "The Captive," Remembrance of Things Past

Fox Monacular: (oratorio is like an opera but in concert form)
Rosatta Resident: Please excuse my ignorance - does that mean the singers don't put on costumes and act it out, but sing as if they were singing in a concert?
Fox Monacular: I think they're just standing there and singing:)
Rosatta Resident: Yes, that is what I tried to say. Ty : )
Rosatta Resident: I am sooooo going to have to go through my inventory and prune things that don't work

Rosatta Resident: So, Being - is it static or fluid?
Rosatta Resident: Everything I've studied about Yogic understanding of these things, it is both

Wol Euler: (((silence)))

Five minutes, then
--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: thanks :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: I am at a stage of sitting quietly in my life waiting, there is something emerging I think no more feel that there is something that I am waiting for within myself, like edges of memory, almost but not quiet seen. A voyage of discovery :) I like that
Eliza Madrigal: edges of memory... now that is my turn for a link... all day I've been preoccupied with the idea of "something lost"
Eliza Madrigal: not anything in particular... but that sense
Catrinamonblue Resident: nothing is lost just held at the edge
Eliza Madrigal: maybe remembering buddha nature :) to use those terms

Rosatta Resident: I didn't see or hear where the last bell was sounded. Would you give me times again so I can follow that way
Eliza Madrigal: Oh sure, no worries Rosatta
Eliza Madrigal: the next time would be at :40, then :55
Rosatta Resident: What was the last one, please?
Wol Euler: always five minutes before the quarter hour, so :10 :25 :40 :55
Eliza Madrigal: :25 - I know it is a little strange - a new experiment
Rosatta Resident: Ty

Eliza Madrigal: Rosatta would you say more about yogic thinking and static/fluid?
Fox Monacular: I've clearly been gone too long;)
Eliza Madrigal: lol
Wol Euler: well, this is new, fox, Eliza started it only a month ago
Fox Monacular: :)
Eliza Madrigal: I'm trying to figure out ways to work in longer pauses for myself... so became a squatter in an open session to play with a new form
Eliza Madrigal: and love the company :)
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: The company loves you too
Eliza Madrigal: (((( ty )))
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)

Eliza Madrigal: feel free to converse though... don't mean for it to be TOO weird
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Fox Monacular: :)
Agatha Macbeth: It isn't weird at all
Eliza Madrigal smiles at the bubbles
Fox Monacular: it's not weird, and often a good idea to break the routine a bit
Fox Monacular: to remind us of the practice and also of it's process (not just habitual)
Wol Euler: hello sun
Eliza Madrigal: exactly Fox
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Sun :)
Agatha Macbeth: Practice makes perfect

szavanna Resident: hi Woly, Liz, Fox, Rosie, Agaji, Cat °͜°
Eliza Madrigal: even really wonderful things can become kind of mindless
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Sun :)
Fox Monacular: Hi Sun:)
Agatha Macbeth: Hello again Sunny
szavanna Resident: °͜°
Fox Monacular: Even more: really wonderful things are usually kind of mad:))
Eliza Madrigal grins
Wol Euler: (one minute to the next silence)
Eliza Madrigal: ty Wol :)
Eliza Madrigal: I'll just ring the bell - no quote this time

Five minutes, then 
--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: :) ty
Wol Euler: _/|\_
szavanna Resident: _/\_
Eliza Madrigal: someone needs to tickle Fox's pikachus now
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
szavanna Resident: tickle tickle
szavanna Resident: where is the pic ...what?
Agatha Macbeth: Mind they don't zap you
Wol Euler: the slippers :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) character slippers
Fox Monacular: :))
Eliza Madrigal: hah, true Aggers

szavanna Resident: ah yay
szavanna Resident: it worked °͜°
Wol Euler smiles.
Fox Monacular: totally worked:)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
szavanna Resident: °͜°
szavanna Resident: hmm I might go look for slippers like that

szavanna Resident: great to see you Cat °͜°
Eliza Madrigal: :) was just looking... thought that I had some
Catrinamonblue Resident: ty :) I'm glad to be back
szavanna Resident: °͜°

(talking tea - but you have to come to session for it ;-))
szavanna Resident: ah Aga can I have some
Fox Monacular: I don't know how to give objects to people... I'd be happy to share the slippers:)
szavanna Resident: if trans :)
Agatha Macbeth points to Liz's urn
Eliza Madrigal: :) must come in more Fox...we miss you
Rosatta Resident: Im them individually and then click and drag
szavanna Resident: °͜°
Wol Euler: I just gave Sun some
Rosatta Resident: There might be a better way, but that one works for SL-almost a luddite me
Wol Euler: anyone else?

Agatha Macbeth: Yes Foxy, try and come to the dream session
Rosatta Resident: I love slippers : )
Fox Monacular: tomorrow?
szavanna Resident: oh wolly is chasing rabbits ...the message says
szavanna Resident: °͜°
Agatha Macbeth: Yep 1PM
Wol Euler smiles.
Fox Monacular: :)
Wol Euler: my autoresponse
Eliza Madrigal: I was just asking rosatta in IM whether she saw my question... it was an interesting comment about being (static/fluid)
Fox Monacular: I'll try, don't know id I can make it ... will really try:)
Eliza Madrigal: think we'll keep the next pause in normal parameters
Rosatta Resident: Does fox know it is not here?
Fox Monacular: I miss pab and dream seminar
szavanna Resident: slippers °͜°
Eliza Madrigal: :)

Catrinamonblue Resident: listens for Rosatta
Rosatta Resident: Oh, ty
szavanna Resident: would be great Fox :)
Rosatta Resident: According to my understanding of what I read about Yogic beliefs . . .
Rosatta Resident: In the beginning there was the One and the One did not move or change
Rosatta Resident: The One made a decision to create and activaed part of itself to become the moving, creative dynamic force
Agatha Macbeth: That sounds like the Silmarillion
Rosatta Resident: In Hinduism this is translated as Shiva adn Shaki - the male and female aspect os God
Rosatta Resident: grrrr typos
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Rosatta Resident: But these forces are still one so Being is still static and fluid
Rosatta Resident: As the One has never changed
Rosatta Resident: That's about as easy to understand as the Trinity lol
Eliza Madrigal: well articulated actually Rosatta
Catrinamonblue Resident: nods
Wol Euler nods.

Rosatta Resident: But, imho, the Yogic mystics experienced something accurate and I have sort of adopted it as something right for me
Agatha Macbeth: That's good Rosie, maybe the best way
Eliza Madrigal: articulating sort of demands a step removed? or seems to?
Rosatta Resident: Maybe, if there is any accuracy to this, that is why inner stillness seems to be the portal to sanity
Rosatta Resident: I hadn't thought of that, Eliza. ty
Agatha Macbeth: The trick is actually acheiving it
Rosatta Resident: that's the TRUTH!!!!
Agatha Macbeth: Yep
Eliza Madrigal nods... agrees with other frameworks... nonduality is a wider or encompassing context than yes/no, light/dark, etc
Wol Euler: mmhmm

Catrinamonblue Resident: maybe this is why I feel compelled to be still these days
Eliza Madrigal: interesting Catrina... nurturing connection?
Catrinamonblue Resident: not sure
Catrinamonblue Resident: there is something but I'm not able to articulate yet
Eliza Madrigal nods... as soon as I articulate anything a thousand qualifiers spring up
Eliza Madrigal: or clarifications
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: The Hydra
Eliza Madrigal: heheh
Rosatta Resident: As long as you trusting your instincts, Cat, you are heading the right way
Eliza Madrigal: the hydra in the fountain
Catrinamonblue Resident: maybe what is happening for me doesn't need articulation just acceptance
Agatha Macbeth: Like the elephant in the kitchen
Eliza Madrigal: :)
szavanna Resident: elephant?

--BELL--

szavanna Resident: looks up
Agatha Macbeth: In the kitchen
Rosatta Resident: Cat, I agree
Rosatta Resident: In my observation, however, once the transformation is complete
Rosatta Resident: and you see what it has all meant,
Rosatta Resident: you will then be able to articulate it and sahre it for the benefit of others
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Rosatta Resident: Meanwhile, it is like a baby growing in the womb - can't yank it out and check to see what it is up to without causing harm or killing it

Rosatta Resident: Oh, sheesh, did I just yak through another bell?
Wol Euler: mmhmm :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: nods and that kinda describes how I am feeling
Agatha Macbeth: The bells the bells...
Catrinamonblue Resident: like I am growing inside but not ready yet to give birth
Rosatta Resident: Well, if there was a way to make a fool out of myself this session, I think I've accomplished every one of them
Agatha Macbeth: Wow
Wol Euler: nurturing yourself
Wol Euler: it's okay, rosatta, nobody is keeping score
Eliza Madrigal: not at all Rosatta :) there are a few usual cues missing

Catrinamonblue Resident: Rose you are not a fool and you have helped me greatly today
Rosatta Resident: Ty for your patience with me
Eliza Madrigal: we all do it at times, and I'm glad for your expressions
Rosatta Resident: Ty : )

Eliza Madrigal: so the serious part of the session is over :P
Eliza Madrigal: bring out the elephants
Rosatta Resident: Well, I can show you my cereal box shoes them lol
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Eliza Madrigal: OK, hah.... zooms
Eliza Madrigal: cheerios :))
Wol Euler: hehehe
Catrinamonblue Resident: lol :)
Rosatta Resident: I found them on the marketplace for free and they gave me a giggle
Eliza Madrigal: pretty silly

szavanna Resident: ah Rosie I sent you pop art pants
Agatha Macbeth: Pop art the sailor man
szavanna Resident: °͜°
Rosatta Resident: Oh! Thank you!!!!!
Eliza Madrigal: here are my silliest shoes
szavanna Resident: check its probably in your received items
Agatha Macbeth: Oh my
Wol Euler: wow :)
Wol Euler: oh, they blink :) heheheh
Catrinamonblue Resident: bunny slipper :) awesome Eliza
Rosatta Resident: Agatha - I totally love those bunny slippers with that gown ROFL!!!!
Agatha Macbeth: Awesome Eliza indeed!
Eliza Madrigal: so impressive that fox poofed
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Aww, gone to dream again perhaps
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Rosatta Resident: Sunshine, do the pants need to be unpacked?
Eliza Madrigal: she is someone who may have some input on the dream project
Agatha Macbeth: Only if they're in a suitcase
Eliza Madrigal: maybe she'll come to Maxine's special session or a diff one
Agatha Macbeth: Hopefully so
Eliza Madrigal: :)

(talking tea again)
Eliza Madrigal drinks to that
Catrinamonblue Resident: seconded
Agatha Macbeth: Glug
Eliza Madrigal: so now we're all quiet eh? :)
Wol Euler: hehehe, now that it is over
Agatha Macbeth: Chasing rabbits perhaps
Wol Euler: ah well :)

Catrinamonblue Resident: is feeling happy and content sitting here with friends today, I don't want to leave :)
Wol Euler: awwwww ((cat))
Eliza Madrigal: thank you Catrina, it really is nice for you to come back and be here
Agatha Macbeth: No one is making you :p
Wol Euler: I'm glad you came back
Eliza Madrigal: :) that too
szavanna Resident: °͜°
Agatha Macbeth: Yep

Catrinamonblue Resident: life has been rough lately and here there seems to be a safety for me
szavanna Resident: ♥
Agatha Macbeth: Stormy weather
Catrinamonblue Resident: I thought it wouldn't be but have come to realize that it can be

Eliza Madrigal: play as refuge :)
Agatha Macbeth: PaB as a port
Rosatta Resident: Absolutely!
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes Eliza :)
szavanna Resident: Liz °͜°
Wol Euler nods.

szavanna Resident: omg it would be great to have a pab in RL
Agatha Macbeth nodsnods
Eliza Madrigal: it is the highest compliment, that we can be a kind and gentle place to land
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes it would :)
szavanna Resident: I would faint if I saw a pab coming towards me or something
Wol Euler nods to catrina
Eliza Madrigal: :)
szavanna Resident: ;p
Wol Euler: we have had week-long retreats, and they were wonderful
Eliza Madrigal: what would that look like Sun?
szavanna Resident: a pab
Eliza Madrigal: "pab coming toward me"
szavanna Resident: hmm
szavanna Resident: may be I will dream about it
Catrinamonblue Resident: big huge bear hugs :)
Agatha Macbeth: And Yasser the cockroach
Eliza Madrigal: avatars in hard hats and slippers
szavanna Resident: hehe

szavanna Resident: I think all neighborhoods should have a pab
szavanna Resident: by default
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes
Rosatta Resident: PaB retreats in rl or sl?
szavanna Resident: the problem is .... in RL - its the opposite
Eliza Madrigal: when I win the lottery, which will be a double miracle since I don't play, I will build a retreat center :)
szavanna Resident: and so hard to imagine that it can actually be real hmm
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Wol Euler: hard to win if you don't buy tickets :)
szavanna Resident: °͜° Liz's reatreat center

--BELL--


Catrinamonblue Resident: I have a fw RL friends who are as kind and loving as PaB and have been leaning on them too but there is something about PaB that is a little bit different, perhaps because of the exploring, the fundamental reason of PAB that sets it apart.
Catrinamonblue Resident: makes it deeper perhaps

Eliza Madrigal: high praise, Cat, nods.... maybe because we come expressly to explore that way
szavanna Resident: i love this whole exploration thing
Eliza Madrigal: Rosatta, we've had RL retreats in the past: https://wiki.playasbeing.org/Retreats/Past_retreats
Rosatta Resident: I learn a lot - and I find a lot of encouragement
szavanna Resident: °͜° ty
Rosatta Resident: Ty, Eliza

Rosatta Resident: If I behaved in rl the way I behaved today I'd never be able to show my face again
Eliza Madrigal: :P I really hope you don't feel bad
Catrinamonblue Resident: lol :) no worries Rosatta we love you still
Rosatta Resident: Ty, everyone (group hug)
Eliza Madrigal: it is really easy to miss cues and your expressions were valuable

Eliza Madrigal: hugs
Agatha Macbeth: Houp grug
Eliza Madrigal: houp grug
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: lol
Wol Euler: (((us)))
Eliza Madrigal: (((((yous)))))

Rosatta Resident: I promised a friend to join her on SOOS to work together to try to get some housework done
Agatha Macbeth drinks to us
szavanna Resident: (((us)))
Rosatta Resident: So I'm off - in more ways than one lol
szavanna Resident: yous hehe

Rosatta Resident: If you stop in, my board name is Still
Agatha Macbeth: Still waht?
Rosatta Resident: Send me a pm : )

Eliza Madrigal: it does help to have a partner in those things... a friend of mine sometimes calls me on the phone and since I dislike the phone, I find that after we talk I've done dishes and laundry without noticing
Agatha Macbeth: :p
Wol Euler: hehehe, that's great
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Rosatta Resident: That is totally cool Eliza : )
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Totally

Agatha Macbeth: Time is waiting in the wings

Wol Euler: "stepping out of squalor"
Eliza Madrigal: hmmmms
Eliza Madrigal: great title

szavanna Resident: lol Liz - I think I love housework to a certain extent ;D
Wol Euler: I find I don't actually mind doing it, but I *hate* starting to do it
Agatha Macbeth: It's good excercise
Catrinamonblue Resident: I don't mind housework but have kids to help out :)
Wol Euler: ah, perhaps I need to rent some kids to help
Eliza Madrigal: that's it
szavanna Resident sends over kids
Catrinamonblue Resident: :) they work wonders :)
szavanna Resident: °͜°

Eliza Madrigal: I like it too actually, some parts... love the feeling of clean sheets...

szavanna Resident: hehe ty you too Agaji
Wol Euler: bye sun, dance well
szavanna Resident: 
szavanna Resident: lol ♥
Agatha Macbeth: Snap

(talking tea strikes again)
Eliza Madrigal: yeah... remember that....

Agatha Macbeth: What's an emmet?
Wol Euler: a motto to live by, truly.
Eliza Madrigal: hahaha
Wol Euler: something that can't make honey
Wol Euler nods wisely.
Eliza Madrigal: isnt it obvious

Agatha Macbeth: Like a ferret?
Wol Euler: I imagine something badgerlike
Wol Euler: but less violent

Eliza Madrigal: when I google I have images of shirtless men
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Catrinamonblue Resident: lol :)
Wol Euler: okaaaaaaaaaaay
Agatha Macbeth: Same as always then -)
Eliza Madrigal: okay, just one is shirtless... but...
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Wol Euler: well, it's certainly true that men don't make honey.
Wol Euler: so that would work.
Eliza Madrigal: hahaa
Catrinamonblue Resident: rotfl
Eliza Madrigal: I'm not going to put the quote in the log... will be a puzzle for all time

Agatha Macbeth: So we learn from this that men without shirts are not bees
Wol Euler laughs.
Catrinamonblue Resident: nods
Eliza Madrigal: at least it was a productive session
Agatha Macbeth: Booogie
Catrinamonblue Resident: very
Wol Euler: learned something new today.
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Learn something new every day
Wol Euler: all my life I wondered that ... and now, thte mystery is solved
Eliza Madrigal: all my life I didn't know I wondered that
Eliza Madrigal: and now there it is
Catrinamonblue Resident: laughing

Wol Euler: although a greater mystery now rears its head: if they can't even make honey, then really what the hell are they for?
Agatha Macbeth: Make toast?
Catrinamonblue Resident: mmmmmm do you really want to know?
Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
Agatha Macbeth raises a leg

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal giggles
Eliza Madrigal wants to know
Agatha Macbeth: 'I'll see your leg and raise your eyebrow'
Catrinamonblue Resident: maybe better not to know
Eliza Madrigal: hahaha
Eliza Madrigal writhes in torture
Agatha Macbeth: 'The jack ain't there Lancy'

Eliza Madrigal: Wol gets the gold star for quiet during the bell :)
Wol Euler smiles modestly.
Agatha Macbeth: She's chasing rabbits

Catrinamonblue Resident: ah well must go and finish getting dinner on the table for the babes, they are starving :)
Wol Euler: awwwww
Wol Euler: feed them babes
Eliza Madrigal: hope not serving emmets
Wol Euler: ack!
Catrinamonblue Resident: lol no just sloppy joes and corn on the cob
Agatha Macbeth: Just don't give em honey
Catrinamonblue Resident: lol
Wol Euler: great!

Eliza Madrigal: :)) take care Catrina
Wol Euler: bye for now
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Cat
Catrinamonblue Resident: thank you all for a fun time
Agatha Macbeth: Purr safely
Eliza Madrigal: ty2

Eliza Madrigal: due to holiday I am without tutoring and suchlike
Eliza Madrigal: although there was a morning project
Agatha Macbeth: What, you have no suchlike??
Eliza Madrigal: must be what I lost
Agatha Macbeth: OMG
Eliza Madrigal: hydra took it
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe florida has a suchlike shortage
Eliza Madrigal: bout time
Wol Euler: the alligators get them
Agatha Macbeth: And the emmets
Wol Euler: suchlike have stumpy little legs, can't run fast
