    Agatha Macbeth: Liz ♥
    Agatha Macbeth: You look grey for some reason
    Agatha Macbeth wonders if you're here or a ghost...
    Bleu Oleander's current display-name is "Bleu".
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello there
    stevenaia Michinaga: sorry , am I late?
    Bleu Oleander: hiya all :)
    Agatha Macbeth: A bit :p
    Agatha Macbeth: Dunno what's wrong with Eliza
    stevenaia Michinaga: afk?
    Agatha Macbeth: She's been like that since I got here
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
    stevenaia Michinaga: might be those shoes
    Bleu Oleander: lol
    Agatha Macbeth: And I see half of her grey too

    Mixed dates
    stevenaia Michinaga: is this the WG meeting?

    Agatha Macbeth: Don't think so, but we can make it one if you want :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi :) Sorry a repair guy came so I was distracted. Also no one was here but me at first
    Agatha Macbeth: You look grey too Bleu
    Agatha Macbeth: Must be SL
    Bleu Oleander: really?
    Eliza Madrigal sees Bleu clearly
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
    Eliza Madrigal: And Agatha in white gown :)
    Eliza Madrigal: And Stevie in what is now traditional orange
    Agatha Macbeth: And so is the lower half of Liz
    Bleu Oleander: you must have your other avatars seen set too low?
    Agatha Macbeth: I can see Steve perfectly
    stevenaia Michinaga: thank you :)
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: I see everyone clearly
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm on no limit
    Agatha Macbeth: There's no limits :p
    Bleu Oleander: on the latest viewer version?
    Agatha Macbeth: Yep
    Eliza Madrigal: And how is everyone? Aside from a little gray through Agatha's eyes
    Bleu Oleander: good here, you?
    Agatha Macbeth: Come closer Stevie
    Eliza Madrigal: fairly well thanks, curious as to what is going on with others
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes fine thanks
    Bleu Oleander: yes me too
    Eliza Madrigal: Am going to a Jainism exhibit tonight, so I'll pop just after 2
    Agatha Macbeth: Woot
    --BELL--1.15
    Bleu Oleander: I was just skimming a new free online book that might be of interest https://mindbodyproblems.com/
    Eliza Madrigal clicks
    Agatha Macbeth: What's a Jainism exhibit?
    Eliza Madrigal: An art exhibit, not sure of the details but a smaller touring exhibit from a fancier one
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Bleu Oleander: art about the Jains or by them?
    Eliza Madrigal: This is an entirely online book, Bleu?
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    stevenaia Michinaga: I scheduled this meeting (WG) at the request of a member who is not here, as such I have no agenda
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh, what? Isn't the meeting next week or is something else going on>
    Bleu Oleander: next wed at 1pm I thought?
    Eliza Madrigal: yes, WG meeting would be news to me
    Agatha Macbeth makes a note
    stevenaia Michinaga: oh... hmmm maybe
    Agatha Macbeth: Would be a grey WG for me
    Eliza Madrigal: similar to a blue christmas
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Or a white one
    Eliza Madrigal: https://frost.fiu.edu/exhibitions-ev...cted-body.html (the exhibit)
    stevenaia Michinaga: oh look it is the 26th, so so sorry, lost my head
    Bleu Oleander: looks interesting
    Agatha Macbeth: Do we have mind-body problems then?
    Eliza Madrigal: :) thought you just missed us and paid a special visit
    Bleu Oleander: apparently :)
    Eliza Madrigal laughs
    Agatha Macbeth: Good to see you anyway
    stevenaia Michinaga: that too, in a panic as I was 8 minutes late as opposed to 6 days early
    Bleu Oleander: ok so we're still on for next wed?
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes
    Bleu Oleander: ha ha!
    Eliza Madrigal: :) Have a bright pink sticky note on my monitor
    Agatha Macbeth: Trouble with time
    Bleu Oleander: my sticky is bright green :)
    Eliza Madrigal giggles

    Rams' horns
    stevenaia Michinaga: just reset my clock yesterday (I was fasting for holiday)
    Eliza Madrigal: Adams and Riddle had an interesting conversation about Yom Kippur this morning
    Agatha Macbeth: Life in the fast lane
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh?
    Bleu Oleander: posted?
    Eliza Madrigal: yes
    stevenaia Michinaga: will read
    Bleu Oleander: ok will read later
    Eliza Madrigal: I was fascinated by the idea of being forgiven for something you might do in the year ahead
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm bound to need that from someone!
    stevenaia Michinaga: well one hopes, the alternatives are not pleasant
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Bleu Oleander: so that's assuming you will do something that needs forgiveness?
    stevenaia Michinaga: but it is mostly about past atonements
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah does the new year start soon then?
    stevenaia Michinaga: a long list
    Eliza Madrigal: I was thinking it must be like that... that you enter the year with a spring in your step
    stevenaia Michinaga: it states 10 days before Yom Kippur
    stevenaia Michinaga: starts
    Agatha Macbeth: Right
    Eliza Madrigal: "You're already there, what's to worry about?" But I know that must be a very filtered impression
    stevenaia Michinaga: well it lasts until you do something that you know should be atoned for next year, doesn't last as long as you think, about on springie step
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Eliza Madrigal: A friend in a group used to, every year, ask for forgiveness, knowing/unknowing slights or wrongs. It was so meaningful that hm, about 30 of us within the group would take part. Seems a very special time and ritual.
    Eliza Madrigal: She was sort of this amazing person. Am sure she is, wherever she is :)
    Agatha Macbeth: In SL?
    Eliza Madrigal: No, pre-SL actually, early AOL! lol
    Agatha Macbeth: Wow
    Agatha Macbeth: That *is* early
    Eliza Madrigal: Back in the days you would download threads and then answer them offline, then upload them in a bundle
    Eliza Madrigal: to save money :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Good grief
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: The dial up days
    stevenaia Michinaga: hmmm, we don't ask forgiveness from the ppl we wronged (strangely), but from the one (in theory) who will allow us to live another year
    Eliza Madrigal: my pre-PaB model
    Agatha Macbeth: That's interesting
    --BELL--1.30
    Eliza Madrigal: Perhaps it was her own ritual that she added in.
    stevenaia Michinaga: there's an entire metaphor of being written in the book of life for another year (because you have been forgiven) and the book closes at sunset complete with rams horns blowing
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Bleu Oleander: quite a metaphor!
    stevenaia Michinaga: worth you finding a service next year to witness (or listen to) at sunset
    Eliza Madrigal: Would love that
    Agatha Macbeth: Sunset seems like a good time for it
    stevenaia Michinaga: well partly because that is the end of the day, holiday at sunset as we sue the lunar calendar
    stevenaia Michinaga: *use
    Agatha Macbeth ponders sueing a calendar
    Eliza Madrigal: :) I can think of times that would be appropriate
    stevenaia Michinaga: that why Easter is either too early or too late, it's really right on time by our calendar (Passover)
    Eliza Madrigal: Ah
    Agatha Macbeth: Something to do with the moon I think
    Eliza Madrigal: https://wiki.playasbeing.org/Chat_Logs/2018/09/2018.09.20_07:00_-_Give_Me_That_Olde_Tyme_Compassion (session with Adams and Riddle this morning. In the text he says he will be posting further)
    Agatha Macbeth: Nice

    Eliza Madrigal: Bleu, am I missing where to find the author of this online book? I like the idea of going through something that is so accessible
    Bleu Oleander: John Horgan
    Bleu Oleander: he's a science writer (we met him a few years ago)
    Eliza Madrigal: the way he has presented it is fun
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Bleu Oleander: cool idea
    Eliza Madrigal: I'm entering into the last weeks of my course, so hope to be able to instigate more things
    Bleu Oleander: how was the course?
    Eliza Madrigal: still going on... if you ask me on any given week I will say something entirely different
    Eliza Madrigal: keeps changing teachers (lawyer, judge, appellant lawyer, etc.)
    Bleu Oleander: btw, he acknowledges Piet at the end of the book so they must know each other
    stevenaia Michinaga: he does get around
    Eliza Madrigal laughs
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Like Dr Who
    Eliza Madrigal: an apt comparison at times
    Eliza Madrigal: I listened to a great book this week, Winners Take All
    Eliza Madrigal: Not for PaB, but meaningful for our times and future
    Agatha Macbeth: Did Trump write it?
    Bleu Oleander: about the 1%?
    Eliza Madrigal would not read a book by that person :P
    Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
    Eliza Madrigal: Yes, basically about the 1 % but more about company culture
    Eliza Madrigal: and how ubiquitous it is in our thinking
    Bleu Oleander: oh yes, I want to read that ... I really like the author
    Eliza Madrigal: He's new to me, am a big fan now
    Bleu Oleander: I've heard him speak on some shows and am a fan too
    Eliza Madrigal: He articulated things that I've been feeling but had no words for
    Eliza Madrigal: like the difference between public intellectuals and "thought-leaders"
    Agatha Macbeth: That always helps
    Eliza Madrigal: :) we're sort of inundated with the latter. Anyway, big rec.
    Agatha Macbeth: Or nervous rec
    Eliza Madrigal grins
    Agatha Macbeth: It was talk like a pirate day yesterday
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder how Quilty is?
    Eliza Madrigal: wow, obscure reference ^.^
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm full of those
    Bleu Oleander: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...4&&FORM=VRDGAR
    --BELL--1.45
    Agatha Macbeth: Glad I didn't have pronounce his name
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: ty for that, will look forward to reading
    Eliza Madrigal: listening*
    Agatha Macbeth: 'Hello Mr Smith'
    Bleu Oleander: yw
    Eliza Madrigal: for me his first name is easy, because Ananda is the name of the person Buddha gave the flower to in the famous story of enlightenment
    Eliza Madrigal: So when I forgot his name I would think of that and start typing and let google do the rest ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth: As in Ananda Marga
    Bleu Oleander: good strategy!
    Eliza Madrigal: memory tricks am having to learn too many lately
    Bleu Oleander: yes :)
    Agatha Macbeth: And you're so young
    Eliza Madrigal: young at heart, but have put myself in a setting where I have to keep up with a lot... challenging
    Eliza Madrigal: which I guess was the point
    Agatha Macbeth: I have faith in you
    Eliza Madrigal: thank you. :) that helps
    Bleu Oleander: gotta go ... an 80lb pup just jumped up on me ... guess she's hungry!
    Agatha Macbeth: Aww
    Eliza Madrigal: OMG
    Agatha Macbeth: Woof
    Eliza Madrigal: photos please :)))
    Bleu Oleander: nice to see you all :) kk she's just had her bath :)
    Eliza Madrigal: speaking of keeping up with a lot
    Agatha Macbeth: TC Bleuji
    Bleu Oleander: see you next wed if not before
    Eliza Madrigal: you too Bleu
    Eliza Madrigal: see you then
    Bleu Oleander: bye all
    Eliza Madrigal: my favorite time is when George is newly bathed and runs around like a crazy animal... must be quite a show with an 80 lb. furball
    Agatha Macbeth: How many lb is georgie?
    Eliza Madrigal: only 18, and everyone keeps saying he's too fat
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh my
    Agatha Macbeth: Bit of a difference from 80
    Eliza Madrigal: slight :)
    Eliza Madrigal: Still with us Stevie?
    Agatha Macbeth: Must be his little legs
    Eliza Madrigal: dangerous for dachshunds to put on weight, because of their backs
    Eliza Madrigal: so I have to make him diet :(
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe Steve is blowing the ram's horn :p
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Agatha Macbeth: Bet that makes quite a racket
    Agatha Macbeth: Come blow your horn
    Eliza Madrigal: Probably a very distinctive sound that makes a strong mark

    Eliza Madrigal: So why are you dressed so fancy?
    Eliza Madrigal: look like you should be dancing in a palace today
    Agatha Macbeth: No reason
    Eliza Madrigal: :) Nice
    Agatha Macbeth: We can go dancing if you want :)
    Eliza Madrigal: I was mid-change when the repair guy arrived
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Agatha Macbeth: Must have been a pleasant surprise for him
    Eliza Madrigal: Am going to have to leave soon, but if you arrive at any given palace in SL looking so lovely, someone will scoop you up

    Agatha Macbeth: I'm very particular about who scoops me up!
    Eliza Madrigal laughs
    Eliza Madrigal: well he did try to get me to make him lunch tomorrow when he returns :P
    Eliza Madrigal: "I don't do lunch" I said, lol.... but now I'm thinking of something I could do
    Agatha Macbeth: Wow
    Eliza Madrigal: maybe just make coffee and buy some pastelitos
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe he'll take you dancing instead :p
    Eliza Madrigal: :) sigh, hope he can just get the air going
    Eliza Madrigal: so so so hot
    Agatha Macbeth: The air stopped?
    Eliza Madrigal: something is going on, so stops and starts
    Eliza Madrigal: at night it gets very hot in the girls' room
    Agatha Macbeth: Not what you want down there
    --BELL--2.00
    Eliza Madrigal: not at all... quite oppressive
    Eliza Madrigal: How does the book Bleu shared look? Like something you'd enjoy going through?
    Agatha Macbeth: At least you don't have to worry about fires like Cali
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh maybe, will see
    Eliza Madrigal: Oh, yes for sure :(
    Eliza Madrigal: I have go get ready for the event now :)
    Agatha Macbeth: OK
    Eliza Madrigal: Thanks for being here ^.^
    Agatha Macbeth: Good to see you anyway, grey or not
    Eliza Madrigal: sorry such a grey day for you
    Eliza Madrigal: make sure you upgrade
    Agatha Macbeth: Only the bottom of you
    Agatha Macbeth: But all of Bleu :(
    Eliza Madrigal: aw, and she's so pretty
    Agatha Macbeth: And my lines have been slow too
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes she is :)
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: probably just need to upgrade or upgrade some settings at least
    Eliza Madrigal: hope so!
    Agatha Macbeth: Think Steve is AFK
    Eliza Madrigal: Bye Stevie
    Agatha Macbeth: See you whenever
    Eliza Madrigal: nods, you may have to claim the log

    Eliza Madrigal: for me his first name is easy, because Ananda is the name of the person Buddha gave the flower to in the famous story of enlightenment

    Rereading myself I realized that is NOT TRUE. Mahakasyapa is the right person. Ananda is more a 'right hand man'? :)
