Wol Euler: um, well it is common now, unless you want it taken out of the log ...
Aphrodite Macbain: It is very incapacitating -but I'm learning to do things slowly
Agatha Macbeth: Poor Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: no- no need
Agatha Macbeth hugs you
Aphrodite Macbain: It gives me an excuse to come to these sessions and read a lot more
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Wol Euler smiles.
Aphrodite Macbain: hugs Aggers back- very gently
Agatha Macbeth: You don't need an excuse!
Aphrodite Macbain: I do
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm a hard task master
Agatha Macbeth dodges the whip
Aphrodite Macbain: I have "should" emblazoned on my forehead
Agatha Macbeth: Honestly
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Be kinder to yourself
Aphrodite Macbain: :)
Wol Euler: it's true, she combs her hair forward to hide it, but I saw that in Italy
Agatha Macbeth: Heh
Aphrodite Macbain: blushes- I had no idea you saw it Wol
Agatha Macbeth: Hope the café is ok in your absence
Aphrodite Macbain: It was hard in the mornings-
Wol Euler: well, I wasn't going to mention it, obviuosly, but since you did ...
Aphrodite Macbain: Yes- I seent a message and they are handling it
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Aphrodite Macbain: @@
Vorder Forder: poor Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: Can't keep much from Wol. Especially after a few Bellinis
Agatha Macbeth: Quite
Wol Euler grins.
Agatha Macbeth: And the odd lasagne
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: actually I don't thikn we ever had a lasagne
Wol Euler: now that you mention it
Aphrodite Macbain: Is anyone interested in coming to Sorrentina on Saturday to see the duel between two hot air ballooners?
Agatha Macbeth: Oh that's only italian food I actually like...
Wol Euler: what time?
Aphrodite Macbain: um
Agatha Macbeth: Hot air balloon duel?
Aphrodite Macbain: 9AM slt
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: with pistols
Agatha Macbeth: A novel concept
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- things are very novel in Sorrentina
Agatha Macbeth: Sadly I'll be engaged with RL at that time :(
Aphrodite Macbain: Wol thinks all we do is compose poetry
Wol Euler grins.
Wol Euler: well? do you deny it?
Aphrodite Macbain: boy is she wrong
Agatha Macbeth: Poetry and duels seem somewhat compatible
Wol Euler: 9am SL is ... 5pm here, that could be tricky, but I'll be in if I can
Aphrodite Macbain: high ideas or something
Aphrodite Macbain: OK I can always tp you
Agatha Macbeth: High ideas...balloon...groan
Aphrodite Macbain: No need to wear 18th c clothes
Aphrodite Macbain: sorry Aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Dunno if Wollie has any
Aphrodite Macbain: I can get you some wholesale...
Aphrodite Macbain: actually they are free
Wol Euler: I'll just come naked
Aphrodite Macbain: cool!
Agatha Macbeth: There you go
Aphrodite Macbain: literally
Agatha Macbeth: Very cool
Agatha Macbeth: Problem solved
Agatha Macbeth: Nekkid balloon duelling
Aphrodite Macbain: It is in recognition of the first time men went up in balloons
Aphrodite Macbain: Even Google acknowledged it
Agatha Macbeth: Aha
Agatha Macbeth: When was that?
Aphrodite Macbain: some October in the 18th c
Agatha Macbeth: Was that the Mont-wotsit brothers?
Aphrodite Macbain: Montgolfier...
Aphrodite Macbain: I think
Agatha Macbeth: That's it
Aphrodite Macbain: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: each will be in his own balloon in this duel
Agatha Macbeth: I believe they were quite the thing in their day
Aphrodite Macbain: They have been practicing with long barrelled pistols, whatever they are
Agatha Macbeth: Do they shoot the balloons or each other?
Aphrodite Macbain: I thin they try to shoot each other
Agatha Macbeth: So kinda like the Red Baron then
Aphrodite Macbain: the balloon is far to easy a target but probably will have a similar result - death
Agatha Macbeth: Men eh
Aphrodite Macbain: sure- The Red Baron - but no snoopy
Aphrodite Macbain: yeh Men!
Agatha Macbeth: Wish you still had Snoop
Aphrodite Macbain: me too.
Agatha Macbeth: So cute
Aphrodite Macbain: Dont know how I lost him
--BELL--1330
Aphrodite Macbain: Nope- no snoopy in my inventory
Agatha Macbeth: Stuff can go missing from inventories occasionally
Agatha Macbeth: Always best to double check with a different viewer
Aphrodite Macbain imagines an inventory thief travelling through SL with his/er bag of goodies - like santa
Agatha Macbeth: In fact that's the only time i ever use the LL viewer
Aphrodite Macbain: but in reverse
Agatha Macbeth: He'll be on his way soon
Aphrodite Macbain: to steal inventory?
Wol Euler: hello zon
Aphrodite Macbain: waves at Zon
Agatha Macbeth: Hiya Zon
Zon Kwan: heya

In the joy of seeing Aph again, we had forgotten our vistor...

Aphrodite Macbain: Meister Konrad- how are you finding SL? Have you had any adventures yet?
MeisterKonrad Resident: It is interesting
Aphrodite Macbain: how?
MeisterKonrad Resident: how SL is like a prolongment of RL
Aphrodite Macbain: Is it?
Agatha Macbeth: Prolongment is an interesting term
Wol Euler listens.
Wol Euler: meinst du "erweiterung"?
Wol Euler: da würde man eher "extension" sagen :)
MeisterKonrad Resident: ja, Erweiterung
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Wol Euler: and yes, it definitely is
MeisterKonrad Resident: yes, Extension is a better word
Aphrodite Macbain: but is it the same or different?
Wol Euler: both :)(
Aphrodite Macbain: from RL
MeisterKonrad Resident: I translated more out of the feeling from the word "verlenging"/"Verlängerung"
Aphrodite Macbain: enjoy!
Wol Euler: thanks
MeisterKonrad Resident: Maybe I can tell you
Agatha Macbeth: Please do
Aphrodite Macbain: listens and chews
Wol Euler nods.
MeisterKonrad Resident: about a year ago, a very close friend died
Agatha Macbeth: :(
MeisterKonrad Resident: since then I missed something
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm sorry
MeisterKonrad Resident: some things I could not share with other friends
Wol Euler nods.
MeisterKonrad Resident: that was one of the reasons why I decided to come back to SL after many years
MeisterKonrad Resident: and like every one I meet people here
Agatha Macbeth nods
MeisterKonrad Resident: with one of them I get good along
Aphrodite Macbain: smiles
MeisterKonrad Resident: and as we get to know each other more, she turns out to be verry similar in her views of life like my past away friend.
Aphrodite Macbain: wonderful
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
MeisterKonrad Resident: and that was only days after I entered SL
Aphrodite Macbain: would you try and meet her in RL?
MeisterKonrad Resident: that was what I told her, Wonderous
MeisterKonrad Resident: no
Wol Euler nods.
Aphrodite Macbain: prob a good idea...
MeisterKonrad Resident: It is good we have contact here
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
Aphrodite Macbain: Is it best too?
MeisterKonrad Resident: maybe in some time, but for me now it is not the time yet
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: no need to hurry.
Wol Euler: in fact, no need ever to meet at all in RL
Wol Euler nudges Aggers.
Agatha Macbeth: Eh?
Wol Euler: exactly :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
--BELL--1345
Aphrodite Macbain: It can be a disappointment
Aphrodite Macbain: or a complication....
Aphrodite Macbain: sorry
Agatha Macbeth: Plus if the other person is in Australia (for example), it can be difficult
Aphrodite Macbain: yes; or you may be tempted to travel to Australia which may not be a good idea...
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, very expensive or a long swim
Aphrodite Macbain: :)
Wol Euler: I'm glad that you found such a friend here, Konrad. Has it helped with your loss?
MeisterKonrad Resident: I dont know
MeisterKonrad Resident: I was searching for something specific
Aphrodite Macbain: Why dont you bring her to PaB if you feel OK about it?
MeisterKonrad Resident: and until now I cannot find that with her
MeisterKonrad Resident: but I know also, sometimes we get what we need and not what we search
Aphrodite Macbain: maybe you will find something else as nice :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hopefully
Wol Euler: very true, konrad :)
MeisterKonrad Resident: it is just so wonderous that her views of life are just like my friends, what I admired
Wol Euler: "the treasure you find is not the treasure that you seek"
Wol Euler: *will find
Aphrodite Macbain: :))
Agatha Macbeth: Seems to me you are more likely to find something when you don't actually look for it
MeisterKonrad Resident: Whit my past away friend I experienced something similar too
Aphrodite Macbain: like many things
Wol Euler: then enjoy those moments for their own quality without thinking about other possibliities, I'd say

The tale of Konrad's book

MeisterKonrad Resident: Once another Freind S gave me a book
MeisterKonrad Resident: I never cared much for that book
MeisterKonrad Resident: so it stood just on my book shelv
MeisterKonrad Resident: later I met my friend P (Who died lately)
MeisterKonrad Resident: My Friend P told me that he always loved reading books
MeisterKonrad Resident: he read books during clas
MeisterKonrad Resident: the teacher took one of these books away
MeisterKonrad Resident: so her could never finish it to read
MeisterKonrad Resident: as my friend P visited me
MeisterKonrad Resident: he started to search my books, whats interest him
MeisterKonrad Resident: Hi took the book I had received from my friend S
Wol Euler smiles.
MeisterKonrad Resident: and then he noticed that it is the book, the teacher took away from him
MeisterKonrad Resident: so life gave me this book, not to read it
MeisterKonrad Resident: but to pass it on to someone to who it belongs to.
Agatha Macbeth: Wonderful!
MeisterKonrad Resident: It was also a kind of mystrious aknowledge of the deep friendship we had.
Wol Euler nods.
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
MeisterKonrad Resident: If the subject of this week mis timelesness, I think this is how timelesness can occure in our lives
Wol Euler: karma in action, one might almost say
Wol Euler nods.
