Korel Laloix: Thanks.
Adams Rubble: no, I had not heard
--BELL--
Korel Laloix: We had dateded off and on for years... and she took a job up here opening a new mall.
Korel Laloix: So.... one thing led to another... and .. smiles
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: Being alone often brings sadness but also opportunities with discomfort
Korel Laloix: This is our first time apart since the big day.
Korel Laloix: Strange how it feels.. different from wheen we tried to date long distance for sure.
Adams Rubble nods
Adams Rubble: empty houses make lots of noise
Korel Laloix: Especially this one... smiles
Korel Laloix: And The Cat is extra clingy as well.. which is comforting in a way.
Adams Rubble nods
Adams Rubble: except when the cat is sleeping :)
Korel Laloix: lol.. true.
Korel Laloix: brb
Korel Laloix: Back...
Adams Rubble: wb
Adams Rubble: I am alone in this house right now and the cats are off someplace fast asleep
Korel Laloix: Sometimes that is nice though.
Adams Rubble: yes, otherwise they might drive us crazy. hehe
Korel Laloix: I have every year for the last ten years or so taken a week or two long camping trip by myself.
Korel Laloix: I love doing that.
Adams Rubble: sounds nice
Korel Laloix: Can be a bit scary at times.
Korel Laloix: But very releasing.
Korel Laloix: Need to work that out with Sama soon...Want to do it before mosquito season... smiles
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: :)
Korel Laloix: Won't be as relaxing this time though.. have a bit of homework from my aunts in terms of finding certain plants and things.
Adams Rubble: no mosquitoes is the best part of winter for me
Korel Laloix: Maybe the only good part.
Adams Rubble: It always is good to have something to be thankful for and I owe it all to mosquitoes :)
Korel Laloix: lol
Adams Rubble: no matter how high the snow is piled, or how hard the wind blows there always is the thought that there are no mosquitoes
Korel Laloix: I do miss camping as much as I used to do... but getting the time away is hard.
Korel Laloix: I hate snow.... more global warming please.
Adams Rubble: we can be thankful for no snow in summer. hehe
Adams Rubble: we do get busy with life and it is hard to get away
Korel Laloix: Need to start thinking more short weekend trips I think.
Korel Laloix: Something about sleeping ont he ground that connects you back to the planet.
Adams Rubble: hello Mother earth
Korel Laloix: On thing I did get from my mom was that idea.... she made a deliberate efforts to go outside barefoot each day possibel for at least a short walk.
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: We often forget this fragile planet we live on
Adams Rubble: good to remember
Korel Laloix: I am not sure it is so fragile... I think we are more fragile relatively.
Adams Rubble: yes, good point
Adams Rubble: and our fellow beings
Adams Rubble: the life sustaining part of our planet
Korel Laloix: I think the planet it will kill us all off before we can do any irreversible damage.
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: very soboring thought and true
Korel Laloix: The thing I worry about is the population issue...
Korel Laloix: We can cut our fossile fuel per capita in half and that gain will be erased in a couple of generations.
Adams Rubble: we have the resources to reverse things if we ever can begin to work together
Korel Laloix: That is a huge if though.
Adams Rubble: Yes, sadly
Adams Rubble: It is not working so well right now
Korel Laloix: People are more interested in power than progress... or healing for sure.
Adams Rubble: yes, some people work hard to keep us separate
Korel Laloix: All the leaders in the environmental movements right now are huge hypocrites... so most have a hard time taking it seriously.
Adams Rubble: I must go; I hope you have a very nice day
Adams Rubble: thank you for the chat
Adams Rubble: bye for now :)
Korel Laloix: Take care.
