Eliza Madrigal: Glad this is a good time for you
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes I made it but I'm not sure how much sense I'll make today...
Catrinamonblue Resident: it's been a very stressful day
Eliza Madrigal: :) this is a nonsensical session
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: I need that
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, sorry to hear. Hope just work stuff and life busyness?
Catrinamonblue Resident: work and life in general...
Eliza Madrigal: :::breathe and smile::::
Eliza Madrigal: Were you thinking of hosting this time if it goes well?
Eliza Madrigal: I'm not asking you to, but want to make sure I'm not stepping on toes
Catrinamonblue Resident: mmmm I'm not sure i'm up for hosting
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Eden :))) You made it <3
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Eden :)
Eliza Madrigal: okay ... just wanting to make sure
Eden Haiku: Hi Cat, Eliza :)

Catrinamonblue Resident: sometimes it's good to be hearded along :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eden Haiku: You a bull in china shop Eliza? never seen that :)
Eliza Madrigal: I'm your friendly cruise ship director...
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eden Haiku: Nice to be taken on a cruise :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal passes out mojitos
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Riddle :))
Riddle Sideways: hi again y'all
Catrinamonblue Resident: mmmmm though I prefer bahama mama's :)
Eden Haiku: hello Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: *All :)
Eliza Madrigal: Is that something you had in Cuba?
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: was very yummy :)
Riddle Sideways: oooooooooooooooooo
Eliza Madrigal imagines the breezes
Eden Haiku: is it happy hour yet? hehe
Riddle Sideways: ah, drinking at 1pm

Eliza Madrigal giggles.... 4pm here
Catrinamonblue Resident: :-D
Eliza Madrigal: let me send an inworld notice, brb
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eden Haiku: good idea :)
Riddle Sideways: yes, lots of friends online
Eliza Madrigal: more the merrier

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: likes "free style session" :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bleu Oleander: hi all :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: Hi Bleu and Bruce :)
Riddle Sideways: hi Bleu Bruce
Eliza Madrigal: me too, I'd always intended some but the sections need more time and focus than I'd first realized
Eden Haiku: hello Bleu :) And Bruce :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bleu!
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Brucie
Bruce Mowbray: Hi, folks.
Riddle Sideways: copy-n-paste outlawed today :)
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eden Haiku: LOL
Catrinamonblue Resident: we fly by the seat of our pants :)
Eliza Madrigal: I'm thankful for copy and paste otherwise... when reports are clear it is easier to go back and apply to one's own efforts?
Eden Haiku: It saves us on Thursdays though :)
Eliza Madrigal: indeed
Riddle Sideways: will typo and mis-speel the way thu
Riddle Sideways: r
Eliza Madrigal: rokay
Eden Haiku: rokay too :)

Eliza Madrigal: Blub!
Eliza Madrigal: I haven't seen blub in forever
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bruce Mowbray: Me neither!
Eliza Madrigal: did he swim off?
Riddle Sideways: ah, blub is back
Bruce Mowbray: His aquarium finally thawed out!
Riddle Sideways: did you leave Blub in your other outfit?
Eliza Madrigal grins
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Eden Haiku: Good thawing joke Bruce :)
Bruce Mowbray: lol.
Bruce Mowbray: a segue, perhaps.

Eden Haiku: So we seem a bit frozen at the onset of the free style session?
Eliza Madrigal: Well, we might as well start throwing things out. Is anyone having trouble or fun?
Eden Haiku: Both :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes :)
Riddle Sideways: yes

SPACE

Bruce Mowbray: I'd just like to report something that i received a few days ago in a letter from my prison friend Mike....
Catrinamonblue Resident: listens
Bruce Mowbray: He has had two near-death experiences recently,
Catrinamonblue Resident: O.O
Bruce Mowbray: which he described in detail and called tremendous gifts.
Eliza Madrigal: Your mic in on I think, Bruce
Bruce Mowbray: and here is an exact quote from hisw most recent letter:
Eden Haiku: Bruce, it seems your microphone is open :)
Bruce Mowbray: "The best I can put it into words it to say that Space is where it ALL is."
Bruce Mowbray: kk, thanks, I will turn off the mic.
Bruce Mowbray: [there, ty.]
Eliza Madrigal: Is he in ill health, Bruce?
Eden Haiku: It seems your friend ingested all of TSK :)
Bruce Mowbray: He is dying of Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Catrinamonblue Resident: :(
Eliza Madrigal: dear :(
Bruce Mowbray: in the equivalent of the prison hospice right now.
Eden Haiku: Sorry to hear :(
Bruce Mowbray: But isn't is amazing what he wrote?
Eliza Madrigal: I see... yes amazing
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes it is... :)
Bruce Mowbray listens for others to report.
Eliza Madrigal: and also that he is leaning into that kind of mind at difficult time
Riddle Sideways: yes, 2 near-death that relate to Space
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, his transformation is pretty wonderful.

Bleu Oleander: it seems obvious to me that all is in space ... not to you?
Eliza Madrigal: in space, or as space
Bruce Mowbray continues to listen.
Bleu Oleander: depends on where you make the distinctions?
Catrinamonblue Resident: I have been struggling because I am finding the exercises rather easy in a way and am afraid I have missed the point of it allll
Bruce Mowbray: I don;t think you have, Cat.
Bleu Oleander: he said all is in space?
Eliza Madrigal: I can see different ways of viewing, which all have different feelings or sensibilities
Eliza Madrigal: one of them has a no feeling kind of feeling
Eliza Madrigal: no distinction between 'is' space
Eliza Madrigal: so not sure :)
Eliza Madrigal: Want to elaborate a little Cat?

Bleu Oleander: isn't it all a feeling?
Riddle Sideways: except for the letting go of feeling it
Bleu Oleander: well then you wouldn't know it?

Catrinamonblue Resident: I can do the visualizations with no real effort at all and can follow the directions. I do get that space is not empty and not full but is everything togther...
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Catrinamonblue Resident: I have not gone beyond exersis 6 as yet
Eliza Madrigal: they don't feel cryptic, Cat?
Catrinamonblue Resident: in a way yes but in a way no...
Catrinamonblue Resident: and I don't have the words to be able to say why
Eliza Madrigal: no reason to doubt your experience to be able to enter with ease
Eden Haiku: I understand how you feel Cat. Finished reading chapter 2 before going to bed yesterday.
Eden Haiku: Felt like a firefly
Eden Haiku: On and off and on and off
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Bruce Mowbray ponders: Since space is what we are, "feeling" that ought to be the easiest thing we could possibly do.
Catrinamonblue Resident: I doubt my own ability I think, that whole anxiety thing that sometimes rules my life
Catrinamonblue Resident: I get it so I must be wrong because I shouldn't get it ;-p
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eliza Madrigal: hehe
Riddle Sideways: whaaaaa
Bruce Mowbray: Wow, do I ever relate to that!
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: isn't that sort of our conditioning from school?
Eden Haiku: :0

--BELL--

Catrinamonblue Resident: not just school but society
Bruce Mowbray: When we were in Nova Scotia and talking about this with Stim, I asked him about "trusting our experience," and he responded that trusting ourselves was extremely important - and absolutely necessary for the exercises in this book.
Bruce Mowbray: (and Eliza heard him say that.)
Eliza Madrigal: do you remember any other guidance?
Catrinamonblue Resident: mmmmm then that I think is where my problem is
Eden Haiku: That,s interesting Bruce ;)
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Catrinamonblue Resident: trust is not an easy thing for me
Bleu Oleander: so is your experience that you feel you are space?
Bruce Mowbray wonders what would happen if Cat poured space into her lack of trust, and kept pouring space into it . . .
Riddle Sideways: maybe that would break the "I can't be right" logic
Eden Haiku: ;)
Eliza Madrigal: imposter's syndrome
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bruce Mowbray: I self-sabotage like that frequently.
 

Space Trip :)

Eden Haiku: I find the exercises fun to do. hard at the beginning but as soon as I jump in, they carry me on a kind of space-trip :)
Bruce Mowbray: Oh yes, Eden!
Eliza Madrigal: trampoline :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: To answer bleu's earlier question on space - space is where we are and what we are.... all around, in and through... no lines or delineations are needed
Bruce Mowbray totally agrees with Cat - and that's why I said earlier that I really think she "gets" it.
Catrinamonblue Resident: I was having fun with them too until I started to doubt myself

How can we tell...

Bleu Oleander: how can we tell whether our subjective emotional experiences are the same as each other's? we are experiencing thoughts and feelings that we are calling space, but how do we know that? and by calling our feelings by the same word are we just sharing a label and perhaps not having the same experiences? just thinking about this ...

Eden Haiku: mmm
Catrinamonblue Resident: deep questions
Eliza Madrigal: I don't think we can know... we can feel around and sometimes hands overlap in the dark?
Bleu Oleander: its something I've been thinking about during our TSK experiences
Eden Haiku: Maybe when you will share your exercises experience Cat the self-doubt will vanish ?
Eliza Madrigal: the water's fine :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: I will try for thursday...Need to create a cut and paste ;)
Eliza Madrigal: and you already have a contributions page
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes.. :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eden Haiku: I'm never sure if I did the exercise "right" but when it resonates with others, it gives me some confidence to go to the next...
Catrinamonblue Resident: vibrations
Eden Haiku: Oh, sorry, I haven't seen your page Cat,,,checking on mobile device :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: it's old stuff on there atm :)
Eden Haiku: Ah....
Riddle Sideways: "I'm pickin up good vibrations"
Eliza Madrigal: I think the exercises come out differently from everyone.
Catrinamonblue Resident: I might change some of that... I'm not that same girl anymore
Bleu Oleander: is there a "right" way to do the exercises and a right conclusion?
Eliza Madrigal: :) lovely

Expansion

Bruce Mowbray: Our "normal experience" is NOT that we are "space" --- until we explore that through these exercises. Then our experience changes... expands, as it were.
Eliza Madrigal: I don't approach them in a formulaic way, but I do try to follow directions as much as I can get myself to
Eden Haiku: I'm sure there no RIGHT way to do them, but the uncertainty is there (from school as Eliza said earlier).
Eliza Madrigal: I find that I feel I can reach them and hold them but it is slippery
Eliza Madrigal: when I actually try
Eliza Madrigal: and that's where the trust comes in
Catrinamonblue Resident: :) ok
Eden Haiku: Slippery as an otter yes :)
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: and playful
Bleu Oleander: expands ... is it that we are experiencing what we think expansion feels like?
Riddle Sideways: and then let even that skip away
Eliza Madrigal: "suspension" is a kind of feeling that can feel very different, to me.... when he writes about deactivating one way in favor of another, moving through the steps. It is a shift, but there is a real sense I can buy into, which opens things up considerably
Eden Haiku: had my first expansion experience decades ago. Then a few more :)
Bleu Oleander: what opens up for you?
Eden Haiku: time mainly
Eliza Madrigal: YES

Bruce Mowbray: My life in the past three weeks has been an emotional roller coaster -- deaths of close friends, troubles of all sorts, our meditation center destroyed by arsonists -- but when take refuge in "space" (which, for me, is identical to emptiness -- and something I've been doing in order to be able to sleep each night), well. . . it's downright transformative.
Bleu Oleander: so the feeling of openness can be called space, time and/or knowledge?
Catrinamonblue Resident: hugs Bruce
Eliza Madrigal: :( oh Bruce
Eden Haiku: I don't know BLeu
Bleu Oleander: struggles to understand that
Eliza Madrigal: each time a bit different too
Bruce Mowbray: (((Cat, Eliza, Eden -- and all you other good people, too.)))
Riddle Sideways: still waiting to get to the Knowledge part, but yes Space and Time can get all twisted together

Catrinamonblue Resident: do you know that time can stop with a hug :)
Riddle Sideways: yes

--BELL--

Bruce Mowbray: wow.
Eden Haiku: hugs Cat and Bruce
Riddle Sideways: it does
Catrinamonblue Resident: expand into infinite

Eliza Madrigal: something came to mind a few weeks ago when Riddle arrived "blocked" but I didn't share it because its a zen poem ...

You’re bound to become a buddha
if you practice.
If water drips long enough
Even rocks wear through.
It’s not true thick skulls can’t be pierced;
People just imagine their minds are hard.

- Shih-wu (1272-1352)

Eliza Madrigal: I love the last line especially
Catrinamonblue Resident: ah :)
Riddle Sideways: very nice
Riddle Sideways: thanks
Bruce Mowbray: "hard" = "frozen"
Eden Haiku: Beautiful poem yes...
Bleu Oleander: do you think that?
Bruce Mowbray: ty for the poem.
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, I do think that, Bleu.
Bruce Mowbray listens.
Bleu Oleander: that your mind is hard?
Bleu Oleander: really?
Eliza Madrigal: when i read that, it makes me question self-doubt
Bruce Mowbray: Sometimes it is quite frozen, yes.
Eden Haiku: I would love to have a crystal-clear mind, hard as a diamond :)
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Eliza Madrigal: like a friendly grandmother saying that the balloon I'm crying over losing isn't the end of my life
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bleu Oleander: I think of my mind as quite fluid and definitely not hard ... maybe i'm delusional LOL
Bruce Mowbray: Your grandmother was right, Eliza.
Catrinamonblue Resident: my mind is fog fillled :) a mess to try to look through :)

Bruce Mowbray: well, "hard and frozen are metaphors. . . . and perhaps something like "resurrection" is their opposite.
Eden Haiku: To cut through my own ignorance like a dorje you know, the tibetan thunderbolt
Eliza Madrigal: incisive
Riddle Sideways: funny how y'all are saying the same thing, but from only your own point of view
Bruce Mowbray: Isn't that why zen masters hit their students with sticks?
Catrinamonblue Resident: smiles :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eden Haiku: hehe
Eliza Madrigal: what are we saying Riddle? :)))
Bruce Mowbray listens. . .
Bleu Oleander: listens
Riddle Sideways: please re-read the statements from the poem onward
Eden Haiku: listens to add more pressure
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Bleu Oleander: what do YOU think we're all saying?
Riddle Sideways: many voices saying the same thing, but in words that the other has issues understanding
Bruce Mowbray remembers how refreshing it was when Riddle told us he was "unblocked."
Catrinamonblue Resident: mind is.. space to be, place to be, experience me :)
Eliza Madrigal: can only meander in one another's workshops a little
Bruce Mowbray: yeppers, that's the classic philosophical problem of "other minds."
Eden Haiku: Kinesthesic, auditory and visual keys...

Eliza Madrigal: that's where I get tangled... as each person shares I feel like I relate and enter completely .... of course I don't, but I feel like I do...
Eliza Madrigal: then there is a kind of surge
Eliza Madrigal: of closeness and amazement
Bruce Mowbray nods, wonderful, Eliza.
Eliza Madrigal: takes me a while to come down
Eliza Madrigal: or, maybe as the exercises at the end mention "come out'
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bruce Mowbray: Empathy is real.
Eliza Madrigal: but that also feels like a kind of arrogance at times, so I remind myself "this is another person's experience, not yours!"
Bruce Mowbray: :)

Catrinamonblue Resident: When I feel the connection I feel that the other is wonderful and feel my own lack....
Eden Haiku: You are such a good listener Eliza, thaT's why you understand all of us :) With your heart...
Catrinamonblue Resident: agrees with Eden :)
Eliza Madrigal: I want to... sometimes feel this desperate sense of falling short. One thing I hoped this kind of session can help with
Bruce Mowbray agrees with Eden and adds that "communion" is a spiritual experience in many traditions.
Eliza Madrigal: I want to do the exercises like each person is doing them
Eliza Madrigal: lol

Eden Haiku: I tried reproducing your exercise in the hair salon Eliza.
Eliza Madrigal: oh?
Bruce Mowbray: To each her otters. . . .
Bruce Mowbray: sry.
Eden Haiku: And failed
Eden Haiku: And ended up telling about your experience to my stylist
Bruce Mowbray: Isn't it wonderful that everything is true?
Eden Haiku: He was left quite puzzled :)
Bruce Mowbray: (put that in your pipe and smoke it for a while.)
Eliza Madrigal: lol
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: we're maybe feeling something similar... Cat, you, and I... something that feels close to failure or longing or lack
Eliza Madrigal: but yes Bruce, I don't think it IS those things
Bruce Mowbray:
 

"Somewhere beyond right-thinking and wrong-thinking there is a field. I will meet you there."
- Rumi

Catrinamonblue Resident: I do know that I'm empathetic, sometimes too much so and get tangled in others emotions
Eliza Madrigal: I'll never be able to answer Bleu's questions to any feeling fo satisfaction, hah
Catrinamonblue Resident: and sometimes I shut down too much and don't listen well at all
Eliza Madrigal: hmm
Bleu Oleander: not wanting you to ... just saying what I was thinking about
Eliza Madrigal: I know :) just describing the feeling
Eliza Madrigal: it can be stretching and exhilarating
Bruce Mowbray nods, sits on hands, listens appreciatively.

Scripts 

Eden Haiku: How is it for you Bleu, reading TSK for the 3rd time I think?
Bleu Oleander: its striking to me how much is scripted .... by words and directed by words for certain outcomes
Bleu Oleander: but I am enjoying the exercises themselves
Bleu Oleander: I feel like my results are more fluid and less defining in a way
Eliza Madrigal: expectations embedded in commentaries?
Bleu Oleander: yes
Eliza Madrigal nods
Bleu Oleander: defined as certain words
Bleu Oleander: like "space"
Bleu Oleander: I feel my conscious mind open and close a lot during a day ... and I have no idea what my non-conscious mind is up to

Eden Haiku: As if Thartang tulku is leading us somewhere by using this word or this one, scripting our journey? Is that what you mean Bleu ?
Bleu Oleander: but I don't reach a conclusion that all is space
Bleu Oleander: yes, in a way Eden
Eden Haiku: I see, thanks :)
Eden Haiku: I think you are right: he does that.
Bruce Mowbray ponders that everything we can name is "merely labeled" - - - but also that if we took away all the labels, our experiences would continue to happen.

Riddle Sideways: hmmm, what do you think the part that is not Space is?
Eden Haiku: Good question Riddle :)
Bleu Oleander: it depends on what level you are looking
Riddle Sideways: true
Bleu Oleander: atoms are mostly space
Bleu Oleander: we seem mostly not space
Eden Haiku: I remember an exercise from the Viveka something (Indian Scripture) 
Eden Haiku: ---that addressed that very question Bruce
Bruce Mowbray listens carefully.
Eden Haiku: I do not remember the exercise exactly (trying to take off labels)
Eden Haiku: But I remember meeting the guru in the garden and the sight of her wiping out every label suddenly...
Bruce Mowbray: ahhh!
Bleu Oleander: label = word?
Eliza Madrigal: hmmm
Eden Haiku: Words, concepts, prerequisites...
Eliza Madrigal: but kind of like, if you see the label or concept 'as' a label or concept, you can then be aware enough to open that, and then open what is left...

Eliza Madrigal: does anyone have a personal sense about whether time and space are 'real'?
Riddle Sideways: sometimes
Bleu Oleander: which concepts of time and space?
Riddle Sideways: then not
Bruce Mowbray: perhaps our predicament is that in normal everyday experience, things seem not independent of our labeling them . . . even though they really are.
Eden Haiku: Not in the ordinary view no, they aren't real that way
Bruce Mowbray: space is the MOST "real" thing I am aware of, Eliza.
Eliza Madrigal: that's an interesting statement Bruce
Bruce Mowbray: Well, it is true.
Eliza Madrigal: able to elaborate? in the sense that your friend means also?
Eliza Madrigal: it seems a different way of functioning.... if one could sort of sustain awareness

Bruce Mowbray: My friend will soon no longer be here.... but he will be a space... a profoundly beautiful space that he has already seen.
Bleu Oleander: you used a lot of words to convey that concept so perhaps labels/concepts/words are necessary to convey our thoughts, which are also using words and concepts?
Bruce Mowbray: I trust that his experience was real...
Bleu Oleander: I think our experiences are very real
Catrinamonblue Resident: is listening very hard....
Bruce Mowbray: I also trust that the calm I experience while doing these exercises is also real.
Eliza Madrigal nods... if we could communicate in a way that we understood that the words we are using are not what we are saying....
Eliza Madrigal: :) Bruce, nice
Bleu Oleander: feelings are real
Bruce Mowbray: if I were Christian, I'd probably call it "The peace that passes understanding."
Eliza Madrigal: that's a nice way of phrasing even if not, Bruce :)))

Eliza Madrigal: Has anyone been helped by this extra meeting? hehe
Bruce Mowbray: yes, I agree.
Catrinamonblue Resident: yes I have :) and I want to thank you all so very much
Eliza Madrigal: thank you Cat, for being here
Riddle Sideways: yes, helped as much as can be :}
Eliza Madrigal: I want to embrace more of your view of ease :)
Bleu Oleander: I always find our conversations helpful and I appreciate all our thoughts

Eden Haiku: remembers being in a Shiva temple so tiny with at least 10 people and feeling I was going to be unable to breathe and then finding a new breath and feeling as vast as the universe hovering the temple. So much SPACE. it shifted but was still as crammed. Oh, I remember now, I saw the sky through a tiny round window in the stone and it shifted everything.

Bruce Mowbray: I have truly enjoyed being here this past hour -- It is wonderful to know others are "working on themselves" in similar ways to how I am working.
Eden Haiku: Yes, thank you Eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bruce Mowbray: OH! Wonderful, Eden!
Eliza Madrigal reads slowly....
Eden Haiku: Sorry, I had a phone call and posted it later than I intended :)

--BELL--

Bruce Mowbray: np, you got it in. TY!
Eliza Madrigal: I'm really amazed you are able to convey that feeling Eden
Eden Haiku: Thank you all for sharing :)
Eliza Madrigal: that experience, I should say
Eliza Madrigal: but I can feel it
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bruce Mowbray: Alas, how swiftly this hour flew by . . . Thank you, all.
Eliza Madrigal grins at Bruce running in place
Eden Haiku: You are such a good empath Eliza :) A precious gift.
Catrinamonblue Resident: :-D
Bruce Mowbray: and bowing as he runs....
Riddle Sideways: am like Bruce, running but going nowhere
Bruce Mowbray: Bye for now.
Bruce Mowbray: Thank you, Eliza.
Eliza Madrigal: :)))
Eden Haiku: Exercising his fish too :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: Bye Bruce :)
Eliza Madrigal: thanks everyone who must go
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Eliza Madrigal: would be easier to get on treadmill if fish could come
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bleu Oleander: :)
Riddle Sideways: might have to frame that quote, Eliza

Eden Haiku: And special thanks to Cat for jumping into TSK cold waters!
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Eliza Madrigal: indeed
Eden Haiku: Can't wait for your report on Thursday :)
Eden Haiku: **********Applause!!**********
Eden Haiku: **********Applause!!**********
Eliza Madrigal: yes looking forward very much
Catrinamonblue Resident: those expectations again :) yes I'll do it :)
Eliza Madrigal: ha
Eden Haiku: Not expectations dear, enthusiam, eagerness to listen to you and so on :)
Eden Haiku: I"m not easily dissapointed you know.
Bleu Oleander: just simply sharing :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: :) my own mainly :) but I think this session has gone a long way to eleviate those
Eden Haiku: Good!
Eliza Madrigal: everyone's sharing is at least 70% of this adventure
Eliza Madrigal: getting to hear each other
Eden Haiku: Yes, indeed!
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Bleu Oleander: yes :)
Riddle Sideways: yes

Eden Haiku: My friend is back from the dentist. Feeling he needs to share :) Thank you all and see you soon :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hugs, Eden, thanks so much
Catrinamonblue Resident: Bye Eden :)
Bleu Oleander: bye Eden take care
Eden Haiku: Hugs
Bleu Oleander: hugs
Eliza Madrigal imagines trying to do TSK in dentist chair
Riddle Sideways: by, ah to share dental stories
Bleu Oleander: maybe wouldn't need novicane then ha ha!
Eliza Madrigal: hahaha....
Eliza Madrigal: they usually have to cover me in exray blanket so that I don't shiver
Eliza Madrigal: so might help :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: I should go too, check on dinner in the oven for youngest son and I :)
Eliza Madrigal: nice :) have a lovely evening Cat
Bleu Oleander: bye Cat
Catrinamonblue Resident: thank you everyone :)
Eliza Madrigal: and Bye Riddle and Bleu too :)
