Hana Furlough: hey wol!

Hana Furlough: long time no see!

Wol Euler: hello hana! I haven't seen you in ages

Hana Furlough: yes! it's been awhile

Hana Furlough: how are you?

Wol Euler: generally good, today miserable: headache verging on migraine

Hana Furlough: oh no!

Hana Furlough: can you take a rest

Hana Furlough: ?

Wol Euler: well I will take today off and try to stay in bed

Wol Euler: that should do it

Hana Furlough: sounds like a good plan

Hana Furlough: i hope you feel better soon

Wol Euler: thank you

Wol Euler: on experience it should be over in a few hours

Qt Core: Hi Hana, Wol

Hana Furlough: it's true, but sometimes that doesn't mean much

Hana Furlough: hi qt!

Wol Euler: hello qt

Hana Furlough: is there a theme this week?

 

Wol Euler: well, you have been away for a while :) we gave up themes some time ago, sorry to say

Hana Furlough: haha guess i have been away awhile

Hana Furlough: the theme of no theme

Wol Euler nods.

Qt Core: one of the hardest

Hana Furlough: yes

Qt Core: the horrifying sight of the freedom, what to do ? how to choose ?

--BELL--

Wol Euler smiles.

Hana Furlough: actually i was just thinking about that today

Wol Euler: basic human reality, qt

Wol Euler listens.

Hana Furlough: i really had a blank slate today, nothing that truly had to be done

Hana Furlough: lots of things that i could do

Hana Furlough: just for fun

Hana Furlough: and yet

Qt Core: and you choose SL ? ;-)

Hana Furlough: too many choices!

Hana Furlough: and so thereby intolerable

Hana Furlough: SL plus other things

Qt Core: i always remind of an essay i had to write for school

Qt Core: as the teacher had almost forgot to tell us the topic in the end she said free title/topic

Qt Core: i really had no idea what to write about in the end i titled mine something like "Free essay and freedom" and wrote about the hardship of freedom as not having boundaries and having to choose them for oneself

Hana Furlough: haha

Hana Furlough: yes!

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: 's current display-name is "Curious Foo".

Qt Core: (wonder if i still have it somewhere)

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: ups

Hana Furlough: i hope you do!

Wol Euler smiles.

Hana Furlough: it sounds like a great essay

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: helo peeps,nice to see you

Qt Core: hi Courious

Wol Euler: hello foo, nice to see you again

Qt Core: the rambling of a 14 yo :-)

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: wasnt here for a while;)

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: hello Hana,nice to meet you

Hana Furlough: hi curious! nice to meet you too~

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: How are dreamsWol?

Wol Euler: we missed the last two sessions, Curious. Maxine couldn't log on for the first, and was intentionally absent last week

Wol Euler: so you are actually up to date :)

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: lol

Wol Euler: yeah

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: and agatha?

Qt Core: that said it is fun how much we whine when we are imposed choice and how much we whine when we have too much of them

Hana Furlough: haha yes

Wol Euler: too much choice is far worse than too little

Wol Euler: with few choices one makes a choice and it's over and done with

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yes,thats right

Qt Core: now thinking about restaurant menus ;-)

Wol Euler: if too many, one ponders and hesitates -- and often regrets the choice later

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: almost everytime you think,damn,i should take another one

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: path

Qt Core: and then, your favorite choice or something new ?

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: neighbour grass is always greener

Wol Euler nods.

--BELL--

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: and really,its funny but he have so nice grass,cuts it regulary and have electric lawnmover,and i have to do it with trimer,so...its really nice

Hana Furlough: it was great chatting with you all, but i need to head out to dinner

Qt Core: :-) i have a similar neighbour, i call him "the crazy farmer", he kas less than 20 square meter of grass, but has thousands euros of equipment and spend a lot of time on it

Hana Furlough: happy sunday everyone

Hana Furlough: and see you again!

Qt Core: bye Hana, have fun

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: bye hana

Wol Euler: awwww

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: haha

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: this guy is similar

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: and he walks so proud after he cuts it

Qt Core: i even saw him trimming it with scissors, i thinks he checks his grass for split ends like hairs

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: like,hey,look at my grass you...foo

Wol Euler laughs.

Wol Euler: hobbies need not seem sensible to those who don't share them

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yes,prob.

Wol Euler: if you see it as a hobby like making and painting landscapes for a model railway, rather than maintaining a lawn ...

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: ahhh,train model railway...

Qt Core: yes, it could not be healthy if he really think that that is the way to do it., it must be a passion for the gardening oitself

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: i dont know why this model railways are so intersting

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: but they are

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: little trains going upa nd down,like thomas the tank engine ;)

Wol Euler nods.

Qt Core: (thinking i may have been called the mad librarian for the time i spent keeping my family books in order)

Wol Euler grins.

Wol Euler: no, but that is useful and necessary!

Wol Euler: not at all like cutting hte lawn with scissors.

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: you mean photalbums?

Qt Core: no, books

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: like what?

Qt Core: definition of necessity varies ;-)

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: if its family?

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: aha,just simple books on shelfs

Qt Core: just the many books my family owns, the book illness is hereditary and/or contagious

Wol Euler: absolutely!

Wol Euler: I got it from my parents too

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yes,i know what you mean,i have also,but last summer i put them in big to bags and give to islan library where i was working,there they will be more usefull then at my home,they are already red

Wol Euler: and my niece from her mother, but didn't pass on to her brother

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: book on a shelf is pretty dead,if nobody is reading it

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: and how this things with smartphones are going soon nobody will talk,and to read a book will be crazy

Qt Core: many are just awaiting their right time

Wol Euler nods.

Wol Euler: many are waiting to be re-read

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: i left best ones for re-reading

Qt Core: thinking about the las ikea ads ;-)

Qt Core: *last

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: (listen)

Qt Core: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOXQo7nURs0

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: lol,i dont trust people with that haircut,haha,he looks like metahipster.

Wol Euler: brilliant! heheh

Qt Core: can't stop laughing every time i see it

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: is there an aplication for dust,haha

Qt Core: wondering when we will have to say paper books on a regular base to speak about the (ok) paper ones instead of ebooks

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: pretty soon prob.

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: and what if i spill coffee on it?

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: it will suck it in

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: and move cofein from it

Qt Core: that said the important things are the word on them... even if paper and ink spell is way better than overheated metal and plastic

Qt Core: spell=smell

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: haha

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: hell

Wol Euler: agreed, I love the smell of ink (mostly)

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: me too

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: and glue ;)

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: gasoline,asfalt

Qt Core: this week i read a new book, that was even plastic wrapped untill i read it... how nice after many ebooks (and a good book too)

Wol Euler smiles.

Qt Core: good book: a book that can keep you awake up to 3:30 am when you promised yourself to sleep early

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: the schack is original

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: and comics?

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: anyone into it?

Wol Euler: no, I don't know that

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: http://www.amazon.com/The-Shack-Refl.../dp/B007BGU9D4

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: it was a hit,maybe ill try with it,it will soon be made into film

Wol Euler nods.
