Adams Rubble: yes
Eliza Madrigal: ah, if only I'd thought of that back in 2008... could have made my million ^.^
Eden Haiku: hehe

Adams Rubble: maybe not millions but hundreds of lindens :)
Riddle Sideways: right, Levi made those millions
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eden Haiku: You had such a lovely outfit Adams...But then, sitting is such a predicament in dresses...
Eliza Madrigal nods
Riddle Sideways: was joking, didn not mean you should change

Meeting in Amsterdam

Eliza Madrigal has last Tuesday's session open but hasn't read yet, enjoying love themes
Adams Rubble: There should be a standing section :)
Eden Haiku: As Alfred used to do... standing!
Eliza Madrigal: there is always hover craft or bubbles
Riddle Sideways: see, knew Eliza reads all of those
Eden Haiku: :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) I do
Eden Haiku: leaving for Amsterdam soon lucky girl?
Eliza Madrigal: and if no one has posted, I go back and read old ones occasionally
Eden Haiku: smiles
Riddle Sideways: yes, was late posting it
Eliza Madrigal: so soon... getting quite nervous now actually
Riddle Sideways: nervious?
Riddle Sideways: /turns sound up so bell (which was 3 minutes early) doesn't shhhhhhh! again
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Adams Rubble: :)
Eliza Madrigal: large group, and has been a while, so yes bit nervous this time
Eliza Madrigal: but happy too
Eden Haiku: lovely!

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: should bring Alfred a Safeway or Piggy Wiggy paper bag to wear so people would recognize
Eliza Madrigal: :) he is the only one who hasn't confirmed, ironically
Eden Haiku: Want a word for Amsterdam: Alstublieft! It means please, believe it or not :)
Riddle Sideways: oo
Eliza Madrigal: it sounds strong for meaning please
Eden Haiku: Indeed!
Adams Rubble: hmm, didn't Alfred start this?
Eliza Madrigal: he did
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Riddle Sideways: neat... google will pronounce it
Eliza Madrigal: he may still come but I guess doesn't want to be very organized about anything
Adams Rubble: It is good of Alfred to continue to manage the wiki
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Eden Haiku: Oh he does? Thank you Alfred!!!
Riddle Sideways: keeps the certificates in order
Eliza Madrigal nods
Riddle Sideways: makes the updates bits march
Eliza Madrigal: we're coming up not only on the group anniversary, but the time we usually figure out all the land and finances
Eliza Madrigal: Bleu has had a lot to do with working that out the last few years
Eden Haiku: Ah yes! Anything changed?
Riddle Sideways: and the Linden have changed things
Adams Rubble hands Eliza a tin cup to take to Amsterdam
Eliza Madrigal: well, I can think of a few who have land but haven't been in SL for a while now... like Luci and Cat
Eliza Madrigal grins at Adams
Eden Haiku: Ah yes, Luci and Cat ...
Eliza Madrigal: Bleu has often been the one to find out logistics and rules
Riddle Sideways: oh no! don't even think of the universe cube going away
Riddle Sideways: still like to sit in it
Eliza Madrigal: well, we'll see
Eliza Madrigal: do you? :)
Riddle Sideways: walk through it often
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Adams Rubble does not know what the unioverse cube is
Riddle Sideways: Lucy's cube
Adams Rubble: oh
Adams Rubble: ohh, maybe I was there
Riddle Sideways: you can walk right through the walls
Adams Rubble: I took a walk around a few weeks ago
Riddle Sideways: and sit on a rock - planet
Eliza Madrigal: :))

Village in the Future

Riddle Sideways: ok, need to fill log with meaningful, thoughtful ... ummmm stuff now
Eden Haiku: So what the village will look like in the near future?
Riddle Sideways: how is the weather
Eden Haiku: Sunny and a tiny slice above zero :)
Adams Rubble: The weather is almost always sunny here
Eliza Madrigal: hot
Eden Haiku: And in California?
Riddle Sideways: dark followed by hours of light
Riddle Sideways: then repeat
Eden Haiku: That's powerful, meaningful stuff :)
Riddle Sideways: :))
Riddle Sideways: George Carlin did a bit on The Smothers Brothers hour: The Hippy Dippy Weatherman
Eden Haiku: How to bring more people to Play as Being I guess is the question...
Riddle Sideways: good topic
Eliza Madrigal: Or if not, what the appropriate scale is
Eden Haiku: Yep!
Eden Haiku: Did Steve succeeded in attracting visitors on Saturday nights?
Eliza Madrigal: I suppose it is always possible if there is a push to be more outreachy and such, but I don't think many have the umph for such efforts
Eliza Madrigal: he did have a few visitors
Eden Haiku: no umph...
Eliza Madrigal: Alma was one, I think before she came to dream session
Eden Haiku: Yes, thought so. She's a guardian now, wonderful!

Eden Haiku: Adams is the deus ex machina ?
Adams Rubble was a little late with the weather discussion
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eden Haiku: so you add some umph!
Adams Rubble: inventory not as organized as one would think
Eliza Madrigal: Regarding Thursdays btw, I think after the parties Mick will start the book sessions again
Riddle Sideways: thought Mick was about to start
Eliza Madrigal: he is giving time to get through celebrations
Eden Haiku: Which book are you reading now?
Riddle Sideways: Wha? the Adams inventory not indexed and sorted?
Eden Haiku: Lots of bunnies jumping around in his life I think :)
Eliza Madrigal: I think the title is Conversation of the Birds
Eliza Madrigal: a sufi text?

Eden Haiku: smiles
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: if wearing, can it vertigo us when you dance?
Riddle Sideways: like the fields of flowers
Riddle Sideways: prolly not
Eden Haiku: :)
Riddle Sideways: mind is not attached to rain being fixed
Eliza Madrigal: ^^
Riddle Sideways: ok, that ain't workin
Eden Haiku: Blue underwater umbrella!
Adams Rubble sings they bring the flowers that bloom in May
Eden Haiku: Adams transformed into some abstract sculpture!

Sitting in the rain, imagining all the growth to come

Eden Haiku: Hope you have a wonderful trip and a great meeting in Amsterdam Eliza :)
Adams Rubble: yes
Eden Haiku: Is your daughter feeling better?
Eliza Madrigal: thanks Eden, will be good just to be in company again
Riddle Sideways: need notes, quotes, photos, news
Eliza Madrigal: we see a neurologist today
Eden Haiku: Oh, it’s worrisome...
Riddle Sideways: any early info on her?
Eliza Madrigal: seems to be severe migraine
Eliza Madrigal: but not like others in the family...
Eliza Madrigal: so maybe brought on by b12 deficiency and stress... hard to know yet
Eden Haiku: Ah!
Eliza Madrigal: but we spent Friday in the ER... upsetting symptoms
Eliza Madrigal: but helpful people
Eliza Madrigal: amazing how many people walk around with headaches *all the time*
Eden Haiku: She's about 20 now isn't she?
Eliza Madrigal: 21
Eden Haiku: So young to have such symptoms...
Eliza Madrigal is thankful for Obama managing that extension of health care so she is on her dad's insurance
Eden Haiku: oh, that's good....
Riddle Sideways: oh yes! one day in hospital could bankrupt
Eden Haiku: Must be terribly expensive all these doctors...
Eliza Madrigal: fortunate indeed
Eliza Madrigal: And plans all settled for Paris Eden?
Eden Haiku: Leaving May 30th, coming back June 13th. Short stay.
Adams Rubble: I hope the doctors are able to find the cause and she gets some relief Eliza
Eliza Madrigal: (((Thank you)))))
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, but you'll be there for a nice few weeks
Eden Haiku: Did your daughter tried to change her diet Eliza? That could help. Veggies, juice fast :)
Riddle Sideways: or is that what brought it on?
Eliza Madrigal we're trying 'all the things' :) She needs to learn to manage anxiety as well, but is resistant to my tricks so far
Eden Haiku: Yes, I'm looking forward to the Paris trip. And we found a studio with A/C which is quite rare in Paris :)
Riddle Sideways: why, so short this time, Eden?
Eliza Madrigal: nice!
Eden Haiku: Euros are so expensive Riddle, and our canadian dollar so low...
Eden Haiku: We first thought about a month but changed our minds...
Eden Haiku: It will be the Poetry Festival there, so interesting: readings and signatures, in open air.
Eliza Madrigal: what a dream
Eden Haiku: :)
Riddle Sideways: ahhhh, poetry in Paris
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: brb
