oO0Oo Resident: Hi Eos, Multi, Eliza, Boxy
Multiverse1 Resident: only part of the whole picture, of course
Multiverse1 Resident: A tier in my eye
Multiverse1 Resident: nice pema
Eos Amaterasu: we seem to have virtual fragments of people's lifetimes coming out of a box....
Eos Amaterasu: Anyone here do 15 minute pauses (with or without timers)?
Eliza Madrigal: yes, just followed one to see Genesis's first session
Multiverse1 Resident: I have something to share , because the Christmas tree is still here. I do not celebrate Christmas or New Years however I have to pass this on. So merry Christmas, and Happy 2012. Waych later, or not at all, if you wish. Fireworks Samuo?
Multiverse1 Resident: probably crash now.
Eliza Madrigal partakes of pauses, Eos, though not often setting the timer to do so
Multiverse1 Resident: flip the hourglass, perhaps another time.
Eos Amaterasu: I did an experiment yesterday, where I would pause at the end of other people's sentences (ie, wherever they paused), and before the start of the next
Multiverse1 Resident: ha
Eos Amaterasu: "come to a pause"
Eliza Madrigal: :) during the work day?
Multiverse1 Resident: 97 secs
Eos Amaterasu: no, mostly in the evening, and then while watching the evening news, the tv anchor interviewing the prime minister
Eos Amaterasu: try it :-)
oO0Oo Resident: I think Fc perhaps installed the Christmas tree? Thanks for nice wishes Multi. Not clear about the sentence with "Waych". // occasional 9 sec. practice with timer on computer, otherwise.. just sometimes when noticing gaps in RL.
Eos Amaterasu: if you fall into a gap, don't struggle :-)
Eliza Madrigal: :)

Eliza Madrigal: we seem to have fallen into a collective gap last pause :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: Oh, and I'm just in time for it. Lucky me. lol
Eos Amaterasu: gap => 'gasp'
Eliza Madrigal: "leave the gasps in your life where you find them" :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: Eox, no, I think 'gap' is more descriptive
Eos Amaterasu: gap :: 'in-between-state' :: 'bardo'
Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, I don't know if I should say anything bout that, Eos; you didn't greet me; maybe you don't want me talking to you. lol
Eos Amaterasu: [19:18] Eos Amaterasu: hi Rhi
oO0Oo Resident thinks of the effect felt when person responds to what I have said, using "no" as the first part of the expression.
Eos Amaterasu: it fell into a gap
Rhiannon Dragoone: It did; it isn't on my chat log at all. Sorry
Rhiannon Dragoone: [19:18] Samúð (oo0oo): Hi Rhi [19:18] Rhiannon of the Birds (rhiannon.dragoone): hi Samud [19:19] Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Hi Rhi :) [19:19] Rhiannon of the Birds
Eos Amaterasu: ?, Samúð?
Rhiannon Dragoone: Samud, you should never be around my mother then. She prefaced every response to you with S"No...
Multiverse1 Resident: My apologies , to the bell
Rhiannon Dragoone: "You want to go to the s tore, Mom?" "No, i'd love to." lol

Rhiannon Dragoone: I came in and no one was talking, so beeats me, Steve
Eos Amaterasu: or, who knows?
stevenaia Michinaga: a world gap, or a more local gap?
Multiverse1 Resident: I felt like a virus today, very ususal, yet very different. It began with Humans killing the small pox virus. It completely lend me on an immence? journey. Thank you for "being" my host Calvino
Rhiannon Dragoone: I think it was the gab in conversation
Tess Aristocrat: a generation gap, or a communication gap?
Eos Amaterasu: gab gap
Multiverse1 Resident: good answer
Rhiannon Dragoone: Tess, I think both
Eos Amaterasu: when something comes to an end, pause
Tess Aristocrat: ok :)
Multiverse1 Resident: it will, even the Multiverse.
Rhiannon Dragoone: Yeah, it had that 'end' feeling to it; I almost left, thinking the session was done
Calvino Rabeni: YW Multi, I thought the credit went more to Bruce for supplying the nutritional part of that session
Multiverse1 Resident: RED MEAT!
Calvino Rabeni: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: I am always amazed what comes from silence

Tess Aristocrat: How old is your little baby?

Lawrence Vyceratops: he is 7 mos.
Tess Aristocrat: Sweet :)
Lawrence Vyceratops: he's a sweetie :)

Rhiannon Dragoone would say something nice about Lawrence's baby but he'd probably think he was seeing phantom text as he too didn't say 'hi' to her

Lawrence Vyceratops: Henry
Eliza Madrigal: Aw, nice :)

Multiverse1 Resident: shoulda, woulda, coulda
Lawrence Vyceratops: we've read it's best. more an d more studies suggest it.
Multiverse1 Resident: each is unto ourselves
