[20:07] I was planning on staying at the computer, but started to drag a bit [20:08] text only [20:08] Thank you [20:08] [Owlhawk] Drag? does it need a reboot? [20:09] Yes,I need a reboot ;) [20:10] [Owlhawk] you or the puter? [20:10] me lol [20:10] Rhowyn it's just a text-based chat. [20:10] we haven't had video chats in a bit, I don't think (excepting druidcast stuff) [20:11] Because of problems with the platforms [20:11] thank you...i have a window at the top of my screen telling me I need to update my video program...wasn't sure if it was from this IRC, or if it's click-bait...probably the latter. :) Thank you.

[20:12] hey Trent [20:12] ...I think it's probably just an ad at the top of my screen...sorry... :-/ [20:13] hi [20:13] Hi Trent [20:13] Bonnie, when I got hone from work today Daphne was asleep.....And is still [20:14] [Owlhawk] I believe that falls under the miracle catagory... [20:14] wow [20:14] I miss my Daphne [20:14] did you check her super good for ticks btw? [20:14] (I mean I'm sure you did.) [20:14] (I'm just neurotic.) [20:15] right? except I wanted to spend time with her at some point this evening [20:15] [Owlhawk] lol. [20:15] Oh yea, she got stripped down and searched [20:15] how is everyone? [20:15] but now I want to check again [20:16] oops. sorry Sara. [20:16] <3 [20:16] :) [20:16] lol it's ok [20:16] [Owlhawk] Good. The wife's test last week said no cancer, just an ulcer. [20:16] that is good! [20:16] ...Owlhawk--glad to hear that... [20:16] that's awesome :) [20:17] good! [20:17] [Owlhawk] Most definitely. My retired head nurse Mom went to the follow up appt with her today. We weren't aware cancer was an option. Her family doc said gall bladder issues [20:18] ...thank the Goddess for Nurses...and healthcare advocates... [20:19] [Owlhawk] Mom going with her is easier then relaying the third hand info she intergates out of you [20:19] [Owlhawk] So blondie is very relieved and feeling much better just on that info [20:20] that's good [20:20] Good deal! [20:20] ...looking for 'Like' button... ;) [20:20] [Owlhawk] but she has a nasty bleeding ulcer in her lower colon. so, on to another specialist to deal with that [20:21] hope that she heals up soon [20:21] [Owlhawk] hoping, but I'll be glad at this point if she can sleep the night [20:21] ouch, yes [20:22] ok all turning into a pumpkin. Good night! [20:22] [Owlhawk] good night [20:22] Good night!

[20:26] hello all--I am a new ADF member, I'm a solitary, and I am just beginning my Dedicant's path...may I ask how you all determined that the Druid's path was one you wanted to follow? [20:26] Bonnie, how was Trillum? Or Wellspring, or whatever one you went to? :-P [20:26] [Owlhawk] trillium. [20:27] Rhowyn, it was the only one that felt right [20:27] [Owlhawk] Wellsprings is end of May [20:27] Trillium :) [20:27] It was really good. Wellspring weather should be nice. [20:27] ...I feel the same way Rovena...and I am so sorry I missed Trillium! [20:27] [Owlhawk] I have yet to actually call myself a Druid, despite finishing the DP. I'm starting to dislike such labels [20:27] (usually what weather happens at Trillium will happen at Wellspring) [20:27] [Owlhawk] Starting..... [20:28] [Owlhawk] We had snow today...so dont' be surprised for Wellsprings [20:28] I'm never surprised. I camped at Brushwood for 4 in. of snow at Wellspring [20:29] so nothing really fazes me anymore. [20:29] [Owlhawk] lmao [20:29] yikes [20:29] :O [20:29] [Owlhawk] I won't make Wellsprings this year [20:29] that hasn't happened in a while though. [20:29] Rhowyn: I guess I just like what ADF has to say [20:29] It got really cold (enough to pop air beds) a few years ago. [20:29] Also Rhowyn I'm not ignoring you :] [20:29] Trent--indeed...I've been searching for some time now. [20:29] [Owlhawk] It's still nothing like camping in Febuary [20:30] it's not the end-all be-all of what I want to do, I don't think...but it's a pretty good chunk of it [20:30] multitasking between Grove chat. [20:30] :) [20:30] Bonnie-no worries--I'm new so I'm trying to just "listen" (hard to contain myself!!) :) [20:30] [Owlhawk] Thanks for the reminder, I have another chat tonight [20:30] [Owlhawk] well ask away with your questions. [20:30] you don't have to contain yourself with us - if you have questions, better to ask them when you have us :D [20:31] I can't define how I knew. I was looking at ADF before I joined and just liked what I read. [20:31] Lol! Excellent--and thank you. :) [20:31] answering questions makes us feel useful [20:31] I had to wait until I was of age to join so I just waited and then joined, and the rest sort of fell into place. [20:32] It seems like I've been doing these things (collecting crystals, creating an altar, communicating with Kin who've passed, for a long time...nice to finally find other folks doing the same... :) [20:32] [Owlhawk] I was first exposed to ADF at the first Kaleidoscope Gathering I attended. I joined shortly there after. That was 7 years ago blondie thinks... [20:32] *** Bryghteyez (Mibbit@14055b33.6ca5ecc3.66.87.imsk) has joined #adf [20:33] [Owlhawk] I started on my path well before that [20:33] I joined 10 years ago but been pagan since college [20:33] Did any of you feel like you'd been doing this for a while already? It's fascinating to me to have a framework to now work within [20:34] (the "hounds" are rough-housing & I'm having to referee here...lol!) [20:35] [Owlhawk] gien that i started on this path around 1990, and rovena earlier then that, I don't remember anymore. I found paganism in highschool. [20:36] Been doing what I am doing for my adult life. [20:37] [Owlhawk] Same here. [20:37] I grew up Roman Catholic...but always felt that was wrong. Went thru a Tibetan Buddhist phase--and still feel very strongly about that methodology.

[20:38] like Rovena, I've been doing this my whole young adult and adult life [20:38] I had a framework from local trad groups but that pretty much went out the window when I began working in an ADF context. [20:39] ADF is the first group that I was a part of [20:40] I meant the more adult life thing, to clarify :] [20:41] I was part of a few societal groups as a teen but nothing 'official' [20:41] [Owlhawk] you're lucky bonnie. such groups didn't exist when i was a teen [20:42] ADF is the first group I've felt some alignment with. I retired from the Navy in '11, and up until then kept my interests and spiritual self--to myself. I'm just getting used to the idea of being part of something more formalized. [20:42] I'm sure some did, Jay. Just maybe not openly. The two I were involved with weren't open. [20:42] It is easier to breathe when you are out of the closet [20:42] I just happened to be public and knew how to be out there. [20:43] :) No kiddin'!! [20:43] and I guess the times didn't hurtt. [20:43] * BonnieCyr shrugs. [20:44] [Owlhawk] no, in my area Paganism was unheard of at that point. Friend brought it in from Ottawa [20:46] [Owlhawk] When i was introduced to Paganism, Wicca at that point, the main books were Cunningham, Adler, Starhawk and Buckland [20:47] gross. [20:47] those are still the main books [20:47] I mean those were all present in my age anyway as the 'most popular' [20:47] *** Elswyth (Mibbit@92a0c19e.washdc.fios.36f5c1fe.net.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:47] and of course, ravenwolf, grimassi, etc. [20:48] Good evening! [20:48] [Owlhawk] They were unwritten. [20:48] my mom picked my books for a few years until I was a) old enough to buy my own and b) she kind of peeked at them first. [20:48] [Owlhawk] lol [20:48] hi Elswyth [20:48] [Owlhawk] They're the main books because they are just that good. [20:48] Grimassi wasn't written when you were a teen? [20:48] that doesn't make sense. [20:49] I like Adler, haven't read Starhawk, didn't like Cunningham or Buckland much [20:49] [Owlhawk] I didn't encounter him until the 2000's [20:49] ah, that's different.
