Adams Rubble shakes head
Adams Rubble: I had planned to come with a topic, but alas
Adams Rubble: my mind is on the loose
Riddle Sideways: semi-dreaded updates from Apple, Norton
Adams Rubble: yikes
Adams Rubble: Jackie Gleason was not crazy about Norton's updates
Riddle Sideways: ok, should be better, ready now
Riddle Sideways: ha! had forgotten that
Riddle Sideways: machines are upset so taking it out on user input ablity
Adams Rubble: /ne nods
Adams Rubble too
Riddle Sideways: they probably put prompts up at 1 am and have been waiting
Riddle Sideways: so are mad
Adams Rubble: waiting in ambush for unsuspecting avatars
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: stall with 'well! now I am busy, so YOU will have to wait
Adams Rubble: I am installing some software you will never use partly because you won't even know it is running
Riddle Sideways: topic = none ... so goes on with currect chat

I marvel at how some have been managing to host sessions for ten years. Apologies if I missed anyone or leaving out anyone who has been doing it for nine, eight or seven.Years. Thank you all for doing this.

Dreams

Riddle Sideways: new topic; have been keeping dream journal and reading your blogs on dreams
Riddle Sideways: the pattern seen here is oridinary
Adams Rubble: I am not remembering as well as I used to
Riddle Sideways: same here also
Riddle Sideways: the few snippets recalled are of very ordinary things and actions
Adams Rubble: nice idea to keep dream journal. I sometimes am not comfortable about putting dreams on the blog
Riddle Sideways: you seem to be good at putting some there
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: I found a dream called The King in 2009 that I did not put in the blog. I am dying to know what it was
Adams Rubble: reference to the dream, not the dream
Adams Rubble: at other times I have put up very personal stuff
Adams Rubble: I guess it depends on my mood
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: which King?
Adams Rubble: I have no idea - the dream was called "The King" in my blog
Riddle Sideways: Ah
Adams Rubble: what was it about the king that made me not post it?
Adams Rubble: was the king, Pema?
Riddle Sideways: was it the other av's dream and they were to post it?
Adams Rubble: ohh, forgot about him
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: you don't mention him much anymore
Adams Rubble feels bad about forgetting about other avatar
Adams Rubble: at the beginning there was a struggle between all the selves
Riddle Sideways: yes, remember it well ㋡
Adams Rubble: that was resolved when I stepped aside and let the other avatar did the museum and the workshops
Adams Rubble: that happened in a dream and it was very moving I am told
Riddle Sideways: division of labor and attention
Riddle Sideways: and purpose
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: I got the blog, PaB and the Chronicles

Hmmm. Have dropped the ball on the Chronicles

Riddle Sideways: fair
Adams Rubble: yes, and everyone lived happily ever after except in the disturbing dreams :)
Riddle Sideways: darn those

APAPB Shout out

Adams Rubble: I remembered this morning thee dreams are appearances to be appreciated :)
Riddle Sideways: sweet
Adams Rubble probably will forget tomorrow :)
Riddle Sideways: that just mellowed so resentment here
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: there has been some resentment here
Riddle Sideways: over procrastination and lists of tasks
Riddle Sideways: and others just having fun
Adams Rubble: there seems to be so much to do these days
Riddle Sideways: secretly, there was tension over the 99-day project
Adams Rubble: ohhh
Adams Rubble: not so secret any more
Adams Rubble: unless you want me to edit it :)
Riddle Sideways: it got very personal over borders, boundaries
Adams Rubble: ohhhh
Riddle Sideways: and so many days the writings were not publishable to the masses
Riddle Sideways: they were cathargic(sp?)
Riddle Sideways: but too personal or too crazy
Adams Rubble listening and thinking
Riddle Sideways: remembering that schizophrenic (thank you speel checker)
Riddle Sideways: don't know about the Others
Riddle Sideways: perhaps more research needed

Another Remembering and Also the Title

Adams Rubble remembering that when we live in the present all the problems of the past and future disappear
Riddle Sideways: ah! same thing
Riddle Sideways: there is tension when trying to be in the present and all those past memories pop up
Adams Rubble: yes
Riddle Sideways: trying to be back asleep
Adams Rubble: we carry them with us everywhere we go
Riddle Sideways: and the bad things of high school come back up
Adams Rubble: sometimes I wish i could relive High school and do it better and then I think better of that idea
Adams Rubble: would be just as painful
Riddle Sideways: just as painful
Riddle Sideways: many movies made of that theme
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: Romy And Michele's High School Reunion :)

The Bell chastizes me here for speaking in the 90 seconds

Adams Rubble: whoops
Riddle Sideways: a Alt goes shopping, all the others are mad about procrastication
Riddle Sideways: then buys a gift for another and sends it
Riddle Sideways: that alt is confused over feelings
Adams Rubble: The old "we are perfect the way we are but we could use some improvement"
Riddle Sideways: others are even madder
Riddle Sideways: yes, the old "I am perfect, but this mesh dress makes my butt look fat"
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: usually not the butt in my case that it makes look enormous
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Adams Rubble: female avatars should be allowed to shop and the others will just have to accept that
Riddle Sideways: male avatars go shopping and just can't find anything good-right-that fits
Adams Rubble: I just realized that I have the secret to that
Riddle Sideways: no selections
Riddle Sideways: /////LISTENS
Adams Rubble: I control the money and give it out to other avatars n a "need" basis
Adams Rubble: like museum uploads
Riddle Sideways: ok, works for you
Adams Rubble: there are perks to being the first rezzed avatar :)
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: well, others have money also
Riddle Sideways: and everybody gives
Adams Rubble: My other avatar hasn't shopped in a long time. He is kept too busy
Riddle Sideways: good division of labor, tasks, parts, etc.
Riddle Sideways: everybody happy in your house
Adams Rubble: it has helped keep peace
Riddle Sideways: your organizational skills

I inadvertantly distract us with a song

Adams Rubble: Leonard Cohen "I wish there was a treaty we could sign"
Riddle Sideways: hmmmmmm
Riddle Sideways: whoops, went off into thoughts
Adams Rubble has a song in her head now
Riddle Sideways: song lyrics
Adams Rubble: hehe, yes
Riddle Sideways: again
Adams Rubble: it happens all the time
Riddle Sideways: yes, all the time

I realized as editing that I typed in a line from the Beatles "I Should have known better". Good thing we did not notice or we would be listening to another song in our heads.

Adams Rubble: sorry, that was my fault
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: here it started over an hour ago with a snippet of a John Prine(sp?) song
Adams Rubble: spelling correct
Riddle Sideways: really? wow
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: I am glad your computer allowed you to stay
Riddle Sideways: how many years have with lived with the sage advice of...
Riddle Sideways: You ca't always get what you Want
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: If we did we would be unhappy
Riddle Sideways: but, we are unhappy
Riddle Sideways: oh and happy also
Adams Rubble: yes, happier when we stay in the present
Riddle Sideways: appreciate that
Adams Rubble: miserable if we wander to far outside of the present
Adams Rubble: too far
Riddle Sideways: father-in-law has no short term memory, so can not wander too far out of present
Riddle Sideways: and is happier
Riddle Sideways: builds no resentments
Adams Rubble: I think that in some odd way, my reading through my old blog is not taking me into the past
Adams Rubble: I remember you saying that before
Adams Rubble: no grudges
Riddle Sideways: that is odd
Riddle Sideways: a case of the past not taking ya there
Adams Rubble: I am concentrating on the explorations which are relevant to the present unless they have already served their purpose in which case I can leave them there
Adams Rubble: in some ways a mining operation :)
Riddle Sideways: good meta-4
Adams Rubble: thinking of Rubble's mind vs Rubble's mine :)
Riddle Sideways: finding gems in the dirt
Adams Rubble: Thank you so much for coming this morning :)
Riddle Sideways: thank you for the thoughts
Riddle Sideways: much thinking over here
Adams Rubble: thank you for yours :)
Adams Rubble: I hope you have a peaceful week
Riddle Sideways: return to Life, which is already in progress
Adams Rubble: I forgot to take a picture of us
Riddle Sideways: is ok
Adams Rubble: yes

Thinking of those in distress

Adams Rubble: we should send out some kind thoughts for the people people being batterd by Florence before we go

Riddle Sideways: already sent, but needed mentioning
Adams Rubble: take good cae Riddle :)

Adams Rubble: bye for now
