Agatha, Eden and Adams on the New Year Day 

New Year Full Moon

Eden Haiku: Happy New Year Pabbers!
Eden Haiku: Wishing for us all a year full of joy and wonder, peace of mind and new adventures into the nature of reality! Good morning Adams!
Adams Rubble: Hello Eden :)
Adams Rubble: Nice thought Eden :)
Eden Haiku: You look pretty and seasonal :)
Adams Rubble: It is a cold start to the new year
Eden Haiku: Yep! And the Full Moon also.
Adams Rubble turns up complexity slider to see Eden
Adams Rubble: You look pretty Eden :)
Eden Haiku: Have to bundle up so much in RL that I chose something light to wear in here :)
Eden Haiku: blushing ;)
Adams Rubble: I know, I like warm weather in SL :)
Eden Haiku: Nude shoulders wouldn't stand a chance in this polar weather :)
Adams Rubble: oh no
Adams Rubble: but in California-like weather in SL we are just fine
Eden Haiku: it’s bright and sunny on this New Year morning!
Adams Rubble: yes, here too
Adams Rubble: how cold is it there?
Eden Haiku: -25 Celsius here. And you? (looking up to convert into F)
Adams Rubble: -12 Celsius here
Adams Rubble: must sound warm :)
Eden Haiku: Pretty cold for your area isn'it?
Adams Rubble: yes and getting colder this week
Eden Haiku: brrr
Adams Rubble:someone is hoping to freeze our country into being more sensible
Eden Haiku: Hehe
Eden Haiku: Still trying to convert C into F...
Adams Rubble: :)
Eden Haiku: -13 F. Same as you...almost.
Adams Rubble: https://www.google.com/search?q=celsius+to+fahrenheit&oq=celsius+to+fahrenheit&aqs=chrome..69i57j6j0l4.4728j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: 10 degrees Fahrenheit here
Eden Haiku: When I was growing up we used F, but I forgot...Oh! 10 degrees F...
Adams Rubble: when I was in elementary school someone tried to teach us the metric system because our country was going to be switching over soon.
Eden Haiku: I see, you are minus 12 in my language. I'm minus 25 so I win?
Adams Rubble hands Eden the cold trophy
Eden Haiku: Without gloves, it freezes my hands instantly!
Adams Rubble: very cold
Eden Haiku: So it's with frozen hands that I gladly and humbly accept this cold trophy :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Eden Haiku: And the US still didn't change to the metric system, what happened?
Adams Rubble:I don't know--I guess nothing happened :)
Eden Haiku: Hehe
Eden Haiku: Drinking delicious hot chocolate, mmm...
Adams Rubble: there are liters of stuff creeping in here and there
Eden Haiku: And we still have a few pints and gallons...
Eden Haiku: Pounds too. Never understood kilos much...
Eden Haiku: Gaining a pound over the holidays is less tragic than gaining a kilo.
Adams Rubble: hehe
Eden Haiku: Was too tired to drink champagne at midnight :)
Eden Haiku: We just opened the back door to let 2017 go.
Eden Haiku: Then we opened the front door to welcome 2018 into our home :)
Adams Rubble just looked up and better to gain a kilogram; I guess a kilo is a thousand kilograms?
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble is afraid of 2018 after all that happened in 2017
Eden Haiku: A kilo is worth about 2 pounds and a half, I know as much...
Eden Haiku: Yes, climate change is probably going to get worse in 2018...and everything else. But we need to remain cheerful.
Adams Rubble: a pound is 0.45 kilograms according to my chart
Eden Haiku: One thing I wanna put together is a survival kit, as we are all supposed to do...

Agatha!!!! What a wonderful surprise!

Adams Rubble: ohhhhhhhhhh
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Adams Rubble: Hello Agatha :)
Agatha Macbeth: ```I wondered if anyone would be here
Eden Haiku: Agatha! welcome sweetheart and happy New year!
Agatha Macbeth: HNY!
Eden Haiku: You look gorgeous Agatha!

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Of course ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Been a while since I've seen you Edie
Eden Haiku: Adams and I were talking about temperatures, Celsius and Farenheit., we both are living in a very cold North America climate. Then we went to pounds and kilos and are still puzzled. Yes, it's been a long time Agatha ;)
Eden Haiku: How have you been?
Agatha Macbeth: I'm doing well
Agatha Macbeth: I completely lost farenheit years ago
Eden Haiku: Any resolutions for 2018 ladies?
Agatha Macbeth: 2018 ladies? :p
Agatha Macbeth: Nah
Agatha Macbeth: Never bother cos I never keep them
Eden Haiku: Ha!
Adams Rubble: mine is to survive the Trump era as long as I can
Agatha Macbeth: Anyway one never knows
Eden Haiku: Trying to word mine as a demand to myself according to nonviolent communication principles. Not easy to do...
Agatha Macbeth: Planning any more exotic tours in the near future?
Eden Haiku: Oh Adams ;( Hope you win!
Agatha Macbeth: rather
Adams Rubble: thanks Eden
Agatha Macbeth: T-rump
Agatha Macbeth: Drop the t and you have it
Adams Rubble:we are trying to freeze him out right now
Agatha Macbeth: More snow please
Agatha Macbeth: Grr
Agatha Macbeth: I need a new keyboard
Adams Rubble: it partly worked--he went to Florida
Agatha Macbeth: Too warm!
Eden Haiku: The demand to oneself should include the location, the moment, the way it's done, the quantity (or lenght)....
Eden Haiku: Mar Largo stranded Trump :)
Agatha Macbeth: I remember Mar Rodas
Eden Haiku: ?
Agatha Macbeth: She came to PaB a few times
Eden Haiku: Ah!
Agatha Macbeth: Ages ago
Adams Rubble: hmmm

Time is shrinking

Eden Haiku: Hope we will have a wonderful 10th year of PaB!
Agatha Macbeth: Still going too according to search but with a totally blank profile
Eden Haiku: Do you remember when I used to read almost all logs Agatha?
Agatha Macbeth: You mean you don't now?
Adams Rubble: much easier now than it used to be
Eden Haiku: Sadly no....
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Agatha Macbeth: I still look at yours sometimes
Agatha Macbeth: Not quite as colourful these days
Eden Haiku: Yes, would be easier, but I slacked and now it’s hard to go back to it...Time is shrinking...
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe it's Einstein's fault
Eden Haiku: No and I still have a few 2017 sessions to log in...
Agatha Macbeth: All that writing
Agatha Macbeth: Your fingers must get sore
Agatha Macbeth: I still look at Doors on time occasionally
Eden Haiku: Was organizing a family party over the holidays, a lot of work but a fantastic party with a joyful invasion of toddlers :)
Agatha Macbeth: Now you sound like Mick
Adams Rubble: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Any art projects in the works Adams?
Eden Haiku: Yes :) Children in my lap. they are my brother's offsprings of offsprings...
Agatha Macbeth: Aww

--BELL--

RL gets in the way

Adams Rubble is busy with RL projects at the moment
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Agatha Macbeth: Gets in the way eh
Adams Rubble: yes
Eden Haiku: Spent 2017 editing, publishing and promoting my last novel, so playing with children was quite vrefreshing!
Agatha Macbeth: I can imagine
Agatha Macbeth: Any snow there?
Eden Haiku: My new writing project is a children's book :)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh great
Eden Haiku: It’s the hardest for me.
Agatha Macbeth: Shades of Xirana
Eden Haiku: Never wrote one, but it's been on my mind for decades.
Adams Rubble: :)
Eden Haiku: Yes, loved Xirana's book :)
Adams Rubble: spending time with children is a good start :)
Agatha Macbeth: Washing spots off ladybirds :p
Agatha Macbeth: Then painting them back
Eden Haiku: But for now, I'm writing this essay on magic for a magazine. My deadline is on January 4th and my mind is kind of blank. Must be the full moon :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Agatha Macbeth: What kind?
Eden Haiku: The question is should we go back to magical thinking, or something like that.
Agatha Macbeth: Did we leave off doing that then?
Eden Haiku: The first novel of Quebec literature, back in 1837, was about a poor man who was reading a magic book to discover hidden treasures...
Eden Haiku: hehe Agatha :)
Eden Haiku: I wonder too :)
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds like an MR James story
Agatha Macbeth: What kind of magic did he use?
Eden Haiku: I'm also quoting John Lennon's Stawberry Fields...
Agatha Macbeth: Oh good one
Agatha Macbeth: Strawberry Fields for ever
Agatha Macbeth:Living is easy with eyes closed
Eden Haiku: Silly superstitions like killing a black hen at midnight to invoke the Devil. Black magic I suppose.
Agatha Macbeth: Misunderstanding all you see
Agatha Macbeth: Oh right
Agatha Macbeth: *Just* like MR James then
Eden Haiku: Yes, my favorite line: misunderstanding all you see. Don't we all do that?
Agatha Macbeth: Some do it better than others :p
Eden Haiku: Under collective hynosis?
Agatha Macbeth: Just look at Mr Rump for example
Eden Haiku: likes the way you misname the Orange Puppet
Agatha Macbeth: Hey I like oranges...
Agatha Macbeth: Prefer apples tho
Agatha Macbeth: Like Eve
Eden Haiku: hehe, poor Mr Rump, he must feel all the poisonous arrows we throw at him from all over the world...It's a sort of black magic isn'it?
Agatha Macbeth: As you sow, etc.
Eden Haiku: Yep
Eden Haiku: Afraid of boomerangs
Eden Haiku: Still afraid of 2018 Adams?
Agatha Macbeth: They always come back
Adams Rubble: brb
Eden Haiku: We should make a wish for 2018
Agatha Macbeth: Busy person our Adams...
Agatha Macbeth: Which is never a bad thing
Eden Haiku: It’s the moment when her secret lover comes knocking at her door :)

--BELL--

Lurve and harmony

Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Eden Haiku: it’s a secret :)
Agatha Macbeth: Right
Eden Haiku: What should we wish for in 2018?
Agatha Macbeth: And all of PaB now know it
Eden Haiku: hehe
Agatha Macbeth: Oh the usual I guess
Agatha Macbeth: Lurve and harmony
Eden Haiku: laughs
Agatha Macbeth: Doubt we'll get it, but still
Agatha Macbeth: Be careful what you wish for as they say
Eden Haiku: True. Hence the careful wording...
Adams Rubble: back
Agatha Macbeth: Glad we got an email from Wollie
Agatha Macbeth: WB

Agatha Macbeth: Let's hope the NSA weren't listening

Eden Haiku: hehe
Adams Rubble:Leaky faucet
Agatha Macbeth: Tighten the tap
Eden Haiku: Namecalled on the fisrt day of the year, I'm weeping....
Agatha Macbeth: Only 364 more to go
Eden Haiku: My resolution has something to do with not being hard on myself so I'm smiling again :)

Agatha Macbeth: Never put youreslf down because someone else will always do it for you
Eden Haiku: I wish to welcome all parts of my mutliple self ;)

Agatha Macbeth:Yes I must look at FB to see what's what
Agatha Macbeth: I seem to remember some luggage had gone missing last time I checked
Agatha Macbeth: Anyways
Agatha Macbeth: I'd better let you get back to your magic
Eden Haiku: Ah these people who know our whereabouts thanks to social networks. My nephew from Toronto knew I took my oldest grandniece to the Nutcracker cause he saw the pictures on Twitter. :)
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, that's its major benefit
Eden Haiku: But I'm not on FB so I miss a lot...
Agatha Macbeth: Hands across the sea and all that
