    --BELL--


    Paradise Tennant: smiles
    stevenaia Michinaga: How cold was it in CA?
    Lucinda Lavender: Steve, wondering about your temperature...smiles at all:)
    Paradise Tennant: happy to be sitting with you two
    Lucinda Lavender: me too
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, always a pleasure
    Lucinda Lavender: CA ?
    Paradise Tennant: we are minus 20 degrees celsuis now before wind chill
    stevenaia Michinaga: Cananda
    Lucinda Lavender: ah!!sorry to forget!
    Lucinda Lavender: I kept thinking California:)
    Paradise Tennant: http://www.google.org/publicalerts/a...=CA&source=web
    stevenaia Michinaga: could be California, I suppose, but it's 70 there
    Paradise Tennant: they only issue those when the temperature is dropping below minus 30 to minus 55 for at least 2 hours
    Lucinda Lavender: I can hardly imagine!
    Paradise Tennant: minus 40 the cars don't start unless they are plugged in
    Paradise Tennant: but really minus 20 to 30 is nice .. usually very dry
    stevenaia Michinaga: I was in Montreal one New Years when it was -30
    Paradise Tennant: worst to be in minus 15 and damp
    stevenaia Michinaga: so a "dry cold" is ok
    Paradise Tennant: however anything over 30 gets ouchie
    Paradise Tennant: yes a dry cold is pretty tolerable
    stevenaia Michinaga: how do you walk Blue?
    stevenaia Michinaga: mask and boots?
    Paradise Tennant: not very far.. he is too old for boots so we don't go far and he often gets carried back ..
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods
    Lucinda Lavender: aww
    Lucinda Lavender: are the sidewalks covered with ice?
    Paradise Tennant: nope
    Lucinda Lavender: that is good
    Paradise Tennant: feel sorry for the birds .. though it pretty miserable for them
    stevenaia Michinaga: ice and snow can evaporate when it cold and dry
    Lucinda Lavender: oh right
    Paradise Tennant: usually lay out extra bird seed on the really cold days they need to eat to be able to stay warm
    stevenaia Michinaga: I think it;s call sublimate, from sold to gas directly
    stevenaia Michinaga: *solid
    Lucinda Lavender: that is a help no doubt...the extra seed
    Paradise Tennant: I have a dream luci :))
    Lucinda Lavender: I have had help cleaning up my PaB items...
    Lucinda Lavender: oh! great! what was it about?
    Lucinda Lavender: just feeling thankful for the help from Bleu and Storm
    Paradise Tennant: hmm lately been spending dream hours sitting with friends in european cafes and restaurants .. laughing a lot ..always wake up with a sense of loss worried I may never see them again but in this one ..
    Paradise Tennant: everyone around the table told a story and somehow we were all transported into the story and they were in different times
    Paradise Tennant: it was like a dream time travel bus tour
    Lucinda Lavender: interesting!
    Lucinda Lavender: can you say more? I will be right back...
    Paradise Tennant: yes was fun .. one was in egypt
    Paradise Tennant: could feel just so much dry heat and dust .. but amazing moonlit desert scapes and the talk around a campfire.. sme
    Paradise Tennant: smells of animals ..
    Paradise Tennant: other parts of it .. i think I have lost
    --BELL--


    Lucinda Lavender: was this recent?
    Paradise Tennant: no was set in a time that was long ago .. maybe biblical
    Paradise Tennant: funny I never feel sleepy in my dreams am always really energetic I wonder why that is
    Lucinda Lavender: seems to me that if you have energy...you can remember your dreams more(having gotten rest)
    Lucinda Lavender: rather than when you are very tired
    stevenaia Michinaga: I don't ever remember being tired or sleeping in dreams
    stevenaia Michinaga: what made it appear like different times
    Paradise Tennant: hmm the story line ..
    Paradise Tennant: involved a merchant family .. an ancient trading routes..
    Paradise Tennant: there intrigue :))
    Paradise Tennant: was
    Paradise Tennant: was interesting to watch how intense .. the feelings were and yet know everyone was dust now .. and it would not be even remembered
    Lucinda Lavender: perhaps you were dreaming needed images for others
    Paradise Tennant: wouldn't it be fun if we could go off together in the same dream :)
    Paradise Tennant: sort like a no restrictions mini break vacation together ..
    Lucinda Lavender: yes...where would we meet?
    Paradise Tennant: tibet ..
    Lucinda Lavender: :))
    stevenaia Michinaga: shangrila
    Paradise Tennant: want to go tea house trekking in tibet .. think I could crawl those mountain trails if I knew there was a tea house at the end
    Lucinda Lavender: perfect...tea
    Lucinda Lavender: so I have a new favorite drink...the matcha latte
    Lucinda Lavender: have you ever tried one?
    Paradise Tennant: yummies the starbucks one ?
    stevenaia Michinaga: chocolate?
    Lucinda Lavender: i have not seen it there but find it at Whole Foods
    Lucinda Lavender: just milk and matcha and a tiny bit of brown sugar
    Lucinda Lavender: a beautiful green drink
    Paradise Tennant: hmm yes I like it too .. make it up and keep it cold in the fridge ..
    --BELL--


    Lucinda Lavender: so if I had a green tea I would pass it to you now...
    Paradise Tennant: smiles and sips her wine and wonders when we are going to be able to think objects places :))
    Lucinda Lavender: an interesting idea
    stevenaia Michinaga: think object places?
    Paradise Tennant: yes kind of just mentally transport matter :))
    stevenaia Michinaga: aww
    Paradise Tennant: eventually we will get the knack I am sure
    Paradise Tennant: think how handy it would be ..
    Paradise Tennant: no lugging groceries
    Lucinda Lavender: it would:)
    Paradise Tennant: no commute to work
    Paradise Tennant: no line ups and the airline check in counter
    Paradise Tennant: but then the flip side would be people could literally just drop in on you
    Paradise Tennant: no notice .. just be there .. lol
    Paradise Tennant: that could be funny at times
    stevenaia Michinaga: sounds like SL to me
    Paradise Tennant: yes!
    Lucinda Lavender: it would take some manners to manage:)
    Lucinda Lavender: ok getting tea..
    Lucinda Lavender: I wonder if you have ideas for me regarding the loss of my original avatar...
    Lucinda Lavender: i can pick a new one but do not like any of them really.
    stevenaia Michinaga: I did that too, jsut put on a new skin
    Paradise Tennant: hmm sure I have something that would work for you
    stevenaia Michinaga: it must be in your inventory somewhere
    Lucinda Lavender: the old one's skin is in the inventory ...putting it on was showing 2 skins
    Paradise Tennant: ok well lets go to pulse and fit you out .. with something you like .. lots of selection there
    Lucinda Lavender: and how to avoid tow meant wearing the invisible avatar to see only one skin
    Paradise Tennant: problem with inventory items is that they are most often no transfer
    Lucinda Lavender: ok
    Lucinda Lavender: well with help I might improve the look
    Paradise Tennant: do you want to do that now or are you getting tired ?
    Lucinda Lavender: I think I am good for another 15 min
    Lucinda Lavender: even puchasing it would help
    Paradise Tennant: ok lets see what we can get done in 15 minutes
    stevenaia Michinaga: :), I'm off to bed, you ahve fun
    Lucinda Lavender: stay warm Steve!!
    Paradise Tennant: okies night stev
    stevenaia Michinaga: night my friends
    Lucinda Lavender: sleep and dream well
