Agatha Macbeth: And a crash helmet
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): :-D
Zen (Zen Arado): like a man walking into a bar and saying something to bartender etc
Zen (Zen Arado): routine
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): they are thinking of dancing bears, a song and dance act, a comedy act  like who's on first
Zen (Zen Arado): that's vaudeville?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): exactlty Zen
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): vaudevill is a mish mash of different types of performances

Raffila Millgrove puts on her hasmat suit.

Zen (Zen Arado): so much health and safety
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): nods
Agatha Macbeth: Hazmat will travel
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): giggles
Zen (Zen Arado): looks back at things I did when young with horror
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): nods
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I used to play with mercury as a child -- now they shut the whole school if some gets out.
Agatha Macbeth: Tell us the sordid details Zenny :p
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): we didn't know what we know now
Zen (Zen Arado): yeh were beads of merdury place I workes
Agatha Macbeth: Everybody smoked back then too
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): we are in an old building
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): yeppers. . .
Zen (Zen Arado): how did we survive ?
Zen (Zen Arado): :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): here we are!
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): we're ;iving examples of Transhumanism, I guess.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): as yooun and as beautiful as ever
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): young
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): l*
Wol Euler: or perhaps our current fears are overstated ...
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): how do you mean Wol?
Wol Euler: that perhaps these things that we *all* survived are not as horrible as is now supposed
Zen (Zen Arado): even using pastel medium is dangerous
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): oh?
Zen (Zen Arado): all that dut with Cadmium etc in it
Zen (Zen Arado): dust
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): right!
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): oh dear

Agatha Macbeth: Not long to go then
Zen (Zen Arado): true...I'm getting bedsores
Zen (Zen Arado): :(
Agatha Macbeth ducks

Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): throws another pie at Aggers
Raffila Millgrove: you don't want to last too long. it gets.. very... confining.
Agatha Macbeth: Yum
Zen (Zen Arado): true
Wol Euler nods.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): and confusing
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I wish you the best with your paint challenge, Aph.
Zen (Zen Arado): riding motorcycles without helmets, cars without seatbelts...
Raffila Millgrove: I am watching many people get over 90 now. and all seem pretty good at 90..but right at 92.. the bottom starts falling out and they realy goto hell
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): thanks Bruce
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): :)

Raffila Millgrove: I am reading them very close in log. fascinating.
Agatha Macbeth: Yes Brucie, thx
Raffila Millgrove: i am enjoying so much.. reading what everyone is saying.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): If I could find my book....I could come
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Yes, quite a fascinating group this time.
Raffila Millgrove: the tsk logs.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): interesting viewpoints, too.
Raffila Millgrove: yeah.  i felt bruce.. i was not so sure.. that if was "ok' .. to make the creature into "you".   i had doubts on the wisdom of that idea.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): what do you mean RAffi?
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): so did I, but I found that I made a very nice Giant, actually.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): (I'll read the log, sorry)
Raffila Millgrove: well .. one of the exercises has you make this imginaary giant.
Raffila Millgrove: and you travel thru it and.. sort of explore it.
Raffila Millgrove: as part of the directions .. of learning things..
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): What do you find?
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): mostly space, actually.
Raffila Millgrove: well you gotta read the log.  people had amazing experiences doing this.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): kk
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray) nods, yeas we did.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): yes*
Raffila Millgrove: everyone had different. experience .... in it.
Raffila Millgrove: and different ways to express.. that experience.. even if they were similiar.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): we all have different bodies...:-)
Agatha Macbeth: Just as well
Raffila Millgrove: one thing was sommon tho
Raffila Millgrove: they were not too keen
Raffila Millgrove: to travel thru pores.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): too small?
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Yikes!
Raffila Millgrove: it freaked them a bit.
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Raffila Millgrove: they squeezed between stuff.. they avoided this going in thru the pore.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): maybe the nostrils?
Wol Euler: read it and find out :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): :)
Raffila Millgrove: it's so interesting to see how each person approached.  the exercise.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I agree, Raffi.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): The hour goes by very quickly.
Raffila Millgrove: even if you not that keen on the book.. or the ideas.. even so.. you will like how people talk about doing it.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I can imagine- especially with such full attendance
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): This really is PaB business, but Bertram is holding his meditations again.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): is not* PaB business.
Raffila Millgrove: i would come in person to listen but i am taking care of the kid in that timeframe so i can't come to sl to be there for it.
Agatha Macbeth: He is!
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Yes.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I can give LMs for anyone interested.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I'm glad he's coninuing - at noon now
Raffila Millgrove: so i am glad for the log.. to read later.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Yes, noon on Sundays, every week.
Raffila Millgrove: somebody from PAB is doing this Creative Elder stuff on Sundays. i went to lot of it.  it was fab.
Raffila Millgrove: Eos?  maybe.  someone from here.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Yes, I attended the creative elder sessions last year.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): when Raffi and where?
Agatha Macbeth: Creative elder?
Raffila Millgrove: it's really good.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): not Eos. Ewan.
Raffila Millgrove: yes yes.
Raffila Millgrove: ty Bruce.  Ewan
Raffila Millgrove: that is who.
Raffila Millgrove: runs it.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): ah
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): NIce guy
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Whole Brain Health group.
Raffila Millgrove: he does really good on it and the folks who come. very nice people and interesting comments.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): nods
Raffila Millgrove: you can voice or type.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): He does it in voice,no?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): snap
Raffila Millgrove: they play you tube song.. related to them and we answer questions.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Yes, he is in voice.
Agatha Macbeth: Both it seems
Raffila Millgrove: yeah you have to HEAR voice but no need to talk in it.
Raffila Millgrove: we call that "voice led" event.
Raffila Millgrove: where i come from.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain) clears her throat. la la la
Raffila Millgrove: you need to listen to voice.. but typing text is fine. no need to talk in it.
Raffila Millgrove: when i was doing weekly discussion.... we would read the text outloud. for those who typed.. a nice touch i felt.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): IOt's nice using voice in Xiri's session too
Raffila Millgrove: makes it more even.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It's
Raffila Millgrove: that way the typist had a "talker" read their text and they were on even balance with those who spoke aloud. their words carry same weight.. it what i mean.
Raffila Millgrove: that is what i mean by balancing the text/voicers.. you get even weight of value when you have the text read aloud.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): nods
Raffila Millgrove: it actually makes a difference.
Raffila Millgrove: Ewan does that too.
Raffila Millgrove: which i think is great.
Raffila Millgrove: he's very nice guy.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): nods- he's good at it
Raffila Millgrove: i didn't know him here very well but i got to know him better there.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Ewan was my very first "friend" in sl.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): He rarely comes to PaB
Raffila Millgrove: wow!  how cool Bruce.
Raffila Millgrove: oh i should ask him to come more when I see him next time. i ho9pe i remember that.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): We both attended a Course in Miracles session years ago.
Raffila Millgrove: oh?
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): yes.
Raffila Millgrove: what is a course in miracles?
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): It's been about seven years, though.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Based on the book.
Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): "A Course in Miracles"
Raffila Millgrove: mm.. do not recall if read it. will check
