2009.09.22 07:00 - Too Little or Too Much

The Guardian for this meeting was Riddle Sideways. The comments are by Riddle Sideways.

Like when we play the world like the story of the 3 bears.  Not too much and not too little, but just right.

We each have that comfort zone. We like it there. We try to stay there.
However, my comfort zone is not the same as your warm and cozy spot.  Definately, not like that weirdo over there.  Nope, nobody seems to like it just like me.

Riddle Sideways: Good Morning, Listening Master
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey riddle
Riddle Sideways: good morning, Yaku

Yakuzza Lethecus: but coffee in real life :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: i barely drink tea
Riddle Sideways: I am just having my coffee too
Yakuzza Lethecus: i should
Yakuzza Lethecus: but i even get a headache without coffee
Yakuzza Lethecus: the industrie succeeded to addict me :)
Riddle Sideways: yes, those headaches are what I was just thinking about
Riddle Sideways: once a year (this next weekend) I fast from coffee one day
Riddle Sideways: by noon, Oy I have such a headache
Riddle Sideways: by 3pm I am close to sick to stomach
Yakuzza Lethecus: i started to get problems in both directions, when i drink too much i have issues with my stomach and if not the other one

Gaya Ethaniel: Afghanistan?

Gaya Ethaniel: wb Yakuzza :)
Gaya Ethaniel: ah :)
Riddle Sideways: TY, Gaya
Yakuzza Lethecus: ty :)
Gaya Ethaniel: yw :)
Riddle Sideways: ok, think I might have had enough now
Gaya Ethaniel: :)

Yakuzza Lethecus: since everyone here already had a slot in play as being, what do you think about the silence sometimes, when everyone is there but there is no topic ?
Yakuzza Lethecus: is that supposed to be a good thing, or also percieved as terrible sometimes in ur eyes ?
Gaya Ethaniel thinks ... normal ...?
Yakuzza Lethecus: yeah, but for example when i bring someone new into the group and it´s silence
Riddle Sideways: yes, normal
Gaya Ethaniel: I think I have gotten used to sit in silence with other people more and more over the years.
Yakuzza Lethecus: obviously i try to explain that even before i introduce someone and explain that theme sessions are to be prefered or pema or stims session because it´s just more crowed
Yakuzza Lethecus: crowded
Riddle Sideways: like RL, you bring a new person to a great circle... that turns out to be not so great that time
Gaya Ethaniel: ah I see ... it is true PaB silence isn't really typical in SL maybe.
Yakuzza Lethecus: usually i am fine with the silence because i also leave the pc even alone when i am on pab
Yakuzza Lethecus: *sometimes*
Yakuzza Lethecus: or fall asleep or what ever :)
Gaya Ethaniel giggles ...
Riddle Sideways: very tempted to insert joke here
Riddle Sideways: but, you are right
Riddle Sideways: we can be rude and walk away, take phone call or fall asleep during these sessions
Riddle Sideways: maybe you think we are paying attention
Gaya Ethaniel: I think people pay attention most of the time?
Yakuzza Lethecus: it´s all logged on the chat and even when it was 2-3 minutes ago it is usually still fine
Riddle Sideways: again, too little chat at chat session makes it not a chat session
Riddle Sideways: too much and your thoughts get lost
Gaya Ethaniel: @.@ reads again ... too little chat at chat session makes it not a chat session ...
Yakuzza Lethecus: right, the perfect blalance, silence is not even a bad thing sure
Yakuzza Lethecus: sometimes i just percieve it in a negative way
Riddle Sideways: sorry, can't fix that sentence, Gaya
Gaya Ethaniel nods ... sometimes I find chat difficult to follow because of large amount of information at speed.
Riddle Sideways: maybe we should keep the timestamping on the dialog lines
Gaya Ethaniel thinks Riddle talks like a Hobbit sometimes :)
Riddle Sideways: observent reader could see 2-3 min go by
sophia Placebo: :))
Riddle Sideways: yes, grammar is what you see I need
Riddle Sideways: Yoda
Gaya Ethaniel: No :) I was reminded of Bilbo's saying ... "I like half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less then half as well as you deserve"
Riddle Sideways: giggles
Gaya Ethaniel: I wonder if people would pay attention to timestamp information though ... would you think so?
Yakuzza Lethecus: sometimes
Riddle Sideways: not sure, maybe
Riddle Sideways: might be too much for some :)
--BELL--
Gaya Ethaniel: phone brb
Riddle Sideways: each person's feedback looop should tell them when _____ is too much or too little
Riddle Sideways: so they can adjust
Riddle Sideways: big trouble comes when somebody else tells you what yourlimits are
Riddle Sideways: imagine if a government told you how much coffee you must drink
Riddle Sideways: but no more then that
Gaya Ethaniel quietly sits down again.
Riddle Sideways: my current peeve is that the health dept has ditated that I should not hug and kiss
Yakuzza Lethecus: but they can make it forbidden when it seems to become threatening the population
Gaya Ethaniel: No hug or kiss? Why not?
Yakuzza Lethecus: what ?
Yakuzza Lethecus: you got the flu ?
sophia Placebo: h1n1 i guess
Riddle Sideways: some H1N1 thing
Gaya Ethaniel: ah ...
Gaya Ethaniel: Funny ... people still peck on cheeks here no problem.
Yakuzza Lethecus: i keep thinking about the isssue how treatening h1n1 really is
Riddle Sideways: too much regulation in case there is not enough regulation
Yakuzza Lethecus: sometimes the thought comes to mind that h1n1 is a reason for not make financial cuttings in the pharma industrie during the crisis
Riddle Sideways: please keep chatting, I will post log, but must go take people to airport
Riddle Sideways: thank you all
Gaya Ethaniel: Have a good day Riddle :)
