    Adelene Dawner looks at the time and blinks. "Shoot! I need to go start my laundry!"

    Threedee Shepherd: folding, what's that?

    Corvuscorva Nightfire high fives Three.

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: yeah.

    stevenaia Michinaga: folding: a genetic defect possessed by men

    stevenaia Michinaga: if necessary we will do it wrong to keep it from happening again

    stevenaia Michinaga: hello Alex, join us

    Alexander Lavendel: Those Lions look amazing

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: mmhmm

    stevenaia Michinaga: off to feed Three?

    Threedee Shepherd: no, just getting into as sociable position

    stevenaia Michinaga: :)


    Bell: *ding*


    Alexander Lavendel: How do you go about becoming a lion Three?

    stevenaia Michinaga: if you ahve any questions Alex, feel free to ask

    stevenaia Michinaga: even that

    Alexander Lavendel: :D

    Threedee Shepherd: You go to Grendel's and buy a lion Avatar

    stevenaia Michinaga: the bell rings every 1/4 hour... does that only do that when Ade is here?

    Threedee Shepherd: The store is called Grendel's Children

    Alexander Lavendel: Dang, ok

    Alexander Lavendel: Well i have no money..

    Alexander Lavendel: Thanks

    stevenaia Michinaga: many thing are free ehre, don;t know what a lion Avatar costs

    Threedee Shepherd: Buy some. The avs at grendels are inexpensive in US$ equivalents

    Alexander Lavendel: Aha


    Squee: It is, in the end, not a question of if we trust the other person, but if we trust ourself.


    stevenaia Michinaga: was that Ade's mouse?

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: mmhmm

    Alexander Lavendel: When do you guys start?

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: We have started.

    stevenaia Michinaga: at 7:00

    Alexander Lavendel: Ah, sorry.

    stevenaia Michinaga: and every 6 hours someone minds the meeting, tonight that is me... to welcome new people, keep the pillows warm, you are not interrrupting

    Corvuscorva Nightfire giggles. Don't be sorry..this is it..this is what we do..just talk.

    Alexander Lavendel: I see

    ]stevenaia Michinaga: We call this group "Play as Being"

    stevenaia Michinaga: Much is on our Wiki

    stevenaia Michinaga: after a few discussions recently I was thinking about "letting go" seem I ahve observed much stress around me , th holidays people running from place to place getting irrateable, not celebrting Christmas myself it make this more obvious to me

    stevenaia Michinaga: wonders how stress and "letting go" relate to people...

    stevenaia Michinaga: seems it does lower blood pressure

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: to let go?

    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, letting go of the stress then letting go of the thing that is stressing,

    stevenaia Michinaga: the pressures put upon you that get internalized and , well for one thing, raise your blood pressure and other than that doesn't get a heck of a lot done

    Alexander Lavendel: Well surly if you don't let go of the thing which is stressing, you don't get rid of the stress then?

    stevenaia Michinaga: some people seem to be able to do it easier then others


    Bell: *ding*


    stevenaia Michinaga: whether it seem to make sence or not, otherise it would be the way things are, rather than a topic of discussion

    Alexander Lavendel: I don't quite follow you..

    stevenaia Michinaga: well we all breath, hardly a topic of dicussion, but stress is somethign some have more of than others

    Alexander Lavendel: Right, then i'd agree

    stevenaia Michinaga: dfferent things ahve diferent affects on people, for some it;s the holidays, for others it;s other people,

    stevenaia Michinaga: some affects are stressfiul, some are joyful, we usually don;t let go of joy so easily either, but that seems to reduce stress


    Squee: I can not tell you who God is, or what God is. But I am not concerned about that because neither can any one else.  All I can really tell you is how I've experienced God.


    stevenaia Michinaga: why is theresuch a wise mouse in the room?

    Corvuscorva Nightfire smiles.

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: good question.

    Adelene Dawner: To quote another wise critter: Why not?

    stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps my questions should have be... how did the mouse get so wise

    stevenaia Michinaga: *been


    Squee: Nothing about me has ever been original.


    Adelene Dawner: He reads from a file, like Faenic, but the file is all quotes I've picked up from various places, including here.

    stevenaia Michinaga: I was wondering if they were atributed to wide people

    Adelene Dawner gave you Adelene's Quotefile 12/23/08.

    Adelene Dawner: wide people, narrow people - we accept all kinds ^.^

    stevenaia Michinaga: wise people

    stevenaia Michinaga: giggle

    stevenaia Michinaga: is there a "make a notecard" command somewhere

    Adelene Dawner: Some of them are. I left off the atributions on purpose - I like the quotes better when they stand on their own. And you can always google 'em if you're curious.

    Adelene Dawner: In your inventory window, under 'create'.

    stevenaia Michinaga: quite a list

    Adelene Dawner: mmhmm ^.^

    stevenaia Michinaga: aww, thank you, it looked so easy for many people and I never say how they did that

    Adelene Dawner: ^.^

    stevenaia Michinaga: gifts come in may forms, thanks

    stevenaia Michinaga: many

    Adelene Dawner: you're entirely welcome ^.^

      

    Bell: *ding*

      

    stevenaia Michinaga: I was listening to a lecture about the big "letting go" how countries keep boarders that separate and create all these reasons for having them, making wars to change them , when over the centuries what has it really gotten anyone?

    Alexander Lavendel: Where are you lot from?

    stevenaia Michinaga: speaking of boarders... smile

    stevenaia Michinaga: no I mean borders

    Adelene Dawner nods to Steve. "Agreed. And I'm in New Jersey at the moment, but moving soon."

    Threedee Shepherd: Territoriality is built into primate brains, unfortunately

    Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.

    stevenaia Michinaga: some EU peopel attend out earlier meetings

    Alexander Lavendel: Why the reputation of the Play As Being group of corse

    Corvuscorva Nightfire smiles.

    stevenaia Michinaga: so you have heard of PlayasBeing or was that humor?

    Alexander Lavendel: That was my adoable, dry British wit

    stevenaia Michinaga: I've heard of that too

    Alexander Lavendel: :D

    stevenaia Michinaga: you jsut loose the accent here

    Alexander Lavendel: Sadly ,yes

      

    Bell: *ding*

      

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: or you share it with others...

    Alexander Lavendel: ?

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: I've been asked a time or two online if I was british, now.

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: or german...

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: having picked up the accent from friends.

    Alexander Lavendel: I wonder why?

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: I'll write things like colour...

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: having forgotten how to spell american.

    Alexander Lavendel: :D

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: or say things like "indeed" or "hihi" for laugh.

    Adelene Dawner thinks Corvi does actually have a bit of a German attitude... reminds her of her mother's family a bit, anyway (but not in a bad way)

    stevenaia Michinaga: wonders what foreign planet I come from than.. the moon Typo

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: hahah...do I, Adelene? my great grandparents spoke German.

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: on a couple of sides.

    Adelene Dawner: ^.^

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: Steve..your accent can't be faked.

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: if you had an alt..I think I'd know immediately upon meeting who you were.

    stevenaia Michinaga: they why when I cange my Avatar, everyone still knows it;s me by my accent.... yes, that;s what I mean

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: hahah

    stevenaia Michinaga: hoping Sl get's a spell checker soon

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: why bother? I know what you mean..it's all good.

    stevenaia Michinaga: lol


    Squee: The most important thing in life is to stop saying "I wish" and start saying "I will". Consider nothing impossible.


    Alexander Lavendel: You guys don't talk about much really do you..

    Corvuscorva Nightfire puts her hand out for the little rat to crawl up.

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: hahaha..we do sometimes.

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: sometimes we talk alot and it's very interesting..sometimes...not.

    stevenaia Michinaga: yeah, sometimes there's no shutting us up, check out some of the logs


    Squee sniffs at Corvi, experimentally...


    Alexander Lavendel: Have i just come at a bad time?

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: not bad..just quiet.

    stevenaia Michinaga: not sure christmas eve is a good time for typical conversations

    Adelene Dawner: I think we're all kind of run down, today.

    Corvuscorva Nightfire touches Squee's nose.

    Adelene Dawner squeaks!

    Adelene Dawner: er.

    Squee squeaks!

    Alexander Lavendel: I suppose

    Bell: *ding*

    Squee runs down Adelene's neck and hides under one of her wings.


      

    Adelene Dawner: ok. See you around, Steve. 

    stevenaia Michinaga: we usually close down the log after an house unless we get carried away with ourselves

    Alexander Lavendel: Is that my Christmas present?

    stevenaia Michinaga: sure, it's called a Clockwork Orangewolf shirt, actually

    Squee peeks his nose out from under Adelene's wing.

    Corvuscorva Nightfire: I'm to bed soon.

    Squee: To be a success - be daring, be first, be different.
