Adams Rubble: Hello leaping Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: ok, here!
Riddle Sideways: so mornings are tougher than others
Riddle Sideways: :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: hope things are ok in your reality
Adams Rubble: I see that San Francisco had some rain for the trick opr treaters
Adams Rubble: or
Adams Rubble: things are dandy in my reality; how about you?
Adams Rubble: except for emails
Riddle Sideways: they got more rain then us
Riddle Sideways: electricity had gone out last night
Adams Rubble: uh oh
Riddle Sideways: all computers and stuff were shut down
Riddle Sideways: let them be until this morning
Riddle Sideways: they are waking slowly
Riddle Sideways: also, got a broadcast phone call about water might not be filtered enough
Riddle Sideways: so boil drinking water
Adams Rubble: in the old days they would not tell you :)
Riddle Sideways: just had to somehow 'know' it

Adams Rubble: yesterday I returned all my Talmud books to the library and got out two books on the heart sutra and emptiness
Adams Rubble: I have not opened them yet :)
Riddle Sideways: ah, the shifting of studies
Adams Rubble: figured they were just empty anyway
Riddle Sideways: a new major
Riddle Sideways: :)
Riddle Sideways: heavy books about emptiness
Adams Rubble: The Dali Lama says he does not like to teach emptiness to westerners
Adams Rubble: It might do damage
Adams Rubble: I think Pema was teaching us already so maybe I already damaged
Adams Rubble: hehe
Riddle Sideways: laughs

Adams Rubble: You can be the first to know
Adams Rubble: I am thinking of adding a chapter to the Chronicles
Riddle Sideways: have been damaged goods for many many years
Riddle Sideways: an empty chapter?
Adams Rubble: hehe
               --BELL--
Adams Rubble: no, one on what has happened since
Riddle Sideways: yes!
Riddle Sideways: catch the readers up
Adams Rubble: there are some people who have never been interviewed

Adams Rubble: Am I correct that you and Stevenaia have been hosting sessions continuously since 2008?
Riddle Sideways: when did you stop interviewing?
Riddle Sideways: a few gaurdians added
Adams Rubble: when I stopped posting
Riddle Sideways: that would be around the new land time?
Adams Rubble: yes
Riddle Sideways: there are also a couple people that seem to have grown or expanded since the first interview
Riddle Sideways: that would be interesting in a new way
Adams Rubble: I have been thinking it would be nice to reinterview a few people
Riddle Sideways: that would be nice

Adams Rubble: [07:16] Adams Rubble: Am I correct that you and Stevenaia have been hosting sessions continuously since 2008?
Riddle Sideways: looks up at calendar, well it would seem so
Riddle Sideways: inertial
Riddle Sideways: tradition
Adams Rubble: modest
Riddle Sideways: in a rut
Adams Rubble: dedicated
Riddle Sideways: there you go, spinning things positively again
Adams Rubble: on behalf of all PaB people, let me thank you :)
Riddle Sideways: blushes
Adams Rubble: and Stevenaia
Riddle Sideways: no, no, no, It has been a pleasure
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: if not anchored to a time-place slot would have drifted off long ago
Adams Rubble: I am glad you stayed
Riddle Sideways: Stevenaia changed time slots! came to the Friday night time slot and nobody else here
Riddle Sideways: ty
Adams Rubble: yes Stevenaia has moved around some
Adams Rubble: sometimes has done more than one session
Riddle Sideways: yes

Riddle Sideways: am now thinking about how long this war against pronouns has been going on
Riddle Sideways: too often snapping at people for saying 'this'
Riddle Sideways: from a different room
Adams Rubble: war against pronouns?
Riddle Sideways: combination of events happened some couple years ago
Riddle Sideways: in PaB there was much discussion of the use of 'We'
               --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: several ppl were using 'We' in their generalization sentences
Adams Rubble: the Royals?
Riddle Sideways: rather the generalizing that everybody else in the circle must think the same way
Riddle Sideways: there were sessions and emails regarding we should, we think, we are, etc.
Adams Rubble: I vaguely remember that but think I repressed it
Riddle Sideways: about the same time many RL discussions over gender pronouns were going on
Riddle Sideways: learning to rephrase to zee and here
Riddle Sideways: trying to be gender neutral in conversation
Riddle Sideways: add in the noticing that this typist had nearly all sentences starting with "I ..."
Riddle Sideways: why use I I I I I so much
Riddle Sideways: why so much ego in there
Riddle Sideways: should drop it

Adams Rubble: I forget the name of the avatar who never used I
Adams Rubble: he was a master
Riddle Sideways: another one?
Riddle Sideways: who never says "I"
Adams Rubble: Avastu
Riddle Sideways: Oh, Yes!!
Riddle Sideways: admired Avastu so much
Riddle Sideways: had a very rough edge
Riddle Sideways: and few words
Adams Rubble: yes
Riddle Sideways: but spot on
Riddle Sideways: if one took the time-effort to reread and understand the meanings
Adams Rubble: we have had people from many traditions come to PaB over the years
Riddle Sideways: and bring those traditions and teachings in with so many different ways and means
Riddle Sideways: so fortunate to sit down next to them. wherever in the world they were
Adams Rubble: :)
               --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: knowing so much about their inner selves
Riddle Sideways: and yet not knowing the 'usual' outer stuff

Riddle Sideways: just to finish pronoun topic:
Riddle Sideways: was around a person caught up in cutting edge of it
Riddle Sideways: who is using 'they' and 'them' now
Riddle Sideways: for multi-gender and neutral
Riddle Sideways: personal pronouns
Riddle Sideways: more subtle
Riddle Sideways: reading the logs has pointed toward a few people who need to have a gender pronoun in almost all sentences

Riddle Sideways: now back to Avastu
Riddle Sideways: so many SL avatars are so pretty
Adams Rubble: really???
Riddle Sideways: Avastu was probably the first fat person known
Riddle Sideways: wrinkled too
Riddle Sideways: older
Adams Rubble: Isn't it funny that I hardly remember
Riddle Sideways: was more then refreshing, it was enlightening
Riddle Sideways: good
Riddle Sideways: so many to remember :}
Riddle Sideways: the 2 lions
Riddle Sideways: didn't spend enough time with either
Adams Rubble sings "I remember them well"
Riddle Sideways: they were short. no they were tall. Ah, I remember them well
Adams Rubble: :)

Riddle Sideways: s only one week until election vothing day
               --BELL--
Adams Rubble nods quietly
Riddle Sideways: then might sing "remember it well"
Adams Rubble: this is one we will not soon forget
Riddle Sideways: perhaps remember it enough to never repeat it
Adams Rubble: let's hope we do not remember it because we cannot undo it
Riddle Sideways: yes, please
Adams Rubble: sigh
Riddle Sideways: sigh
Riddle Sideways: that felt good
Adams Rubble: It would be nice if after the election people began to realize that our dialogue has become very toxic and begin to come together
Riddle Sideways: :) even remembering when the bell went off exactly on the quarter :)
Riddle Sideways: oh, that would be nice
Riddle Sideways: however, the pessimist here thinks that it won't last
Adams Rubble: it will depend on whether we can find a way for the media people to make more money with peaceful dialogue says the cynic

         Lindens: "Sim restart in 3 minutes"
Adams Rubble: holly cow. "we got to get out of this place if it is the last thing we ever do"
Riddle Sideways: individuals can talk and work with each other
Adams Rubble: bye
Riddle Sideways: remembering when the sim would restart each Tuesday
Riddle Sideways: :)
Adams Rubble: whoops my home is been restarted
Riddle Sideways: ouch, the notice shakes the whole screnn
Riddle Sideways: ok, by
Riddle Sideways: need to restart - life
