[19:43] <Rovena> Don't laugh - I'm neck deep in legal matters trying to get my Dad's finances straightened out
[19:43] <liveoak> Hell indeed.  Virginia here.
[19:43] <Rovena> Welcome Virginia

[19:44] <Rovena> Hello Amber
[19:44] <ambermdoty> Good evening.
[19:44] *** liveoak (Mibbit@c14acb68.nrflva.fios.36f5c1fe.net.hmsk) has joined #adf
[19:45] <liveoak> Do we have a set topic for this chat?
[19:46] <Rovena> No
[19:46] <Rovena> Open for any and all topics
[19:46] <Rovena> That are fit to read
[19:47] <liveoak> This is my first time coming to one of these - usually I miss the announcement by a few hours/days.
[19:48] <Rovena> COngratulations .. you made it without an announcement

[19:49] <liveoak> I think I saw a signal bump somewhere...  And apparently I keep getting bumped off and coming back.  Forgive me if I miss some stuff through the evening.
[19:49] [Owlhawk] when he remembers and now it's when he remembers or blondie reminds hijm when he gets home from work
[19:50] <Rovena> It's okay Liveoak.  We all get bumped sometimes
[19:51] <Rovena> My husband called me an hour ago to make sure I was at the motel and ready for chat
[19:51] <liveoak> Is he likely to be on too?
[19:52] <Rovena> No, he doesn't like typing.  His fingers are large hitting multiple keys at once
[19:54] <Rovena> I wish he were.  Being in different states sucks
[19:55] <Rovena> Is there a topic you want to suggest, Liveoak?
[19:57] <liveoak> Not especially.  I was originally planning to lurk.  I don't live nearby a grove or protogrove, so I haven't come across many ADFers yet.
[19:58] <Rovena> Understand that.  My protogrove is the only one in the state and we have only 3 ADFers and 3 other regulars
[19:58] <liveoak> Hopefully that will change by the fall - there seems to be an active grove near the college I have in mind, in Erie
[19:59] *** SaraKBlackwelder (Mibbit@66fa1b5b.tampfl.fios.36f5c1fe.net.hmsk) has joined #adf
[19:59] <Rovena> Hello Sara
[19:59] <liveoak> Can you carry on a protogrove with that few regular members?
[19:59] <Rovena> Good luck on college
[19:59] <SaraKBlackwelder> hello!
[19:59] <ambermdoty> Good evening Sara.
[19:59] <SaraKBlackwelder> Rev Doty!  ;)
[19:59] <Rovena> I don't use my degree but never regretted getting it
[19:59] <ambermdoty> :)
[20:00] <SaraKBlackwelder> I agree with that Rovena....
[20:00] <SaraKBlackwelder> I just got an update from my college of science today.....really made me miss school a tin
[20:00] <SaraKBlackwelder> ton
[20:00] <SaraKBlackwelder> liveoak, what was the question about the pg and membership numbers?
[20:00] <liveoak> I went to college before military, but now that I'm getting out, I can't wait to go back.
[20:01] <liveoak> Rovena mentioned her protogrove, with 3 ADFers and 3 other regulars - I was surprised the numbers were that low
[20:01] <Rovena> It is really different as an "older" student
[20:01] <ambermdoty> Technically protogroves only have to have 1 ADF member to be accepted
[20:01] <liveoak> okay
[20:01] <Rovena> Louisiana doesn't have many members
[20:01] <SaraKBlackwelder> ha, I have only 2 other members beside myself in the Grove right now.....number fluctuations happen
[20:01] <liveoak> Where in Louisiana?  I grew up there.
[20:02] <SaraKBlackwelder> I should say local members
[20:02] <Rovena> Keithville just south of Shreveport
[20:02] <Rovena> just north of Keatchi
[20:02] <liveoak> Ah, okay.  North shore of Lake Pontchartrain for me.
[20:03] <Rovena> Cool I haven't been to New Orleans as an adult
[20:04] <Rovena> Lake Charles, Morgan City, and Lafayette I have been to
[20:04] <liveoak> My mom lives there now, so I make it every so often
[20:04] <liveoak> Much of my extended family lives in Baton Rouge and bayou country, but I don't see them as much as I'd like.
[20:04] <Rovena> Glad she made it through Katrina
[20:05] <liveoak> Me too.  Everyone moved to Carolina for a while there, though.
[20:05] <liveoak> Then back to rebuile
[20:05] <liveoak> rebuild*
[20:05] <Rovena> Lots never moved back after the excavation
[20:06] <liveoak> Why do you say college is different as an "older" student?
[20:07] <SaraKBlackwelder> they are so much younger!!  that's part of the difference
[20:07] <Rovena> Different culture.  You are there to learn.  Lots of kids are just on their own for the 1st time and party more than study
[20:07] <SaraKBlackwelder> and for me, I just cared a WHOLE lot more about my education than the 18 year olds
[20:08] <Rovena> I have a friend and she says the other kids think she is a dinosaur
[20:09] <SaraKBlackwelder> they thought I was old at the time and I only had them about 10 years
[20:09] <Rovena> My math tutor actually asked me why I was bothering to go to college at 35
[20:09] <liveoak> I hear that I look much younger than I am, so I'm looking forward to them assuming I'm 18 and then surprising them with 28, hehehe
[20:10] <Rovena> You go for it!
[20:10] <liveoak> What??  Did he think that if you already had a job, you shouldn't go back to learn more?
[20:10] <Rovena> Yep that was it
[20:10] <SaraKBlackwelder> that is crazy Rovena
[20:10] <liveoak> That would drive me nuts
[20:11] <SaraKBlackwelder> what college are you going to liveoak?
[20:11] <liveoak> Mercyhurst University in Erie, PA
[20:11] <liveoak> My husband's looking at Penn State
[20:11] <SaraKBlackwelder> cool!
[20:11] <Rovena> I dropped that class cause I thought pulling graveyard shift the math at 8 AM was a bit much
[20:11] <Rovena> THat is cool
[20:11] <liveoak> yeah...  Pre-cal did that to me my first time around in college
[20:12] <SaraKBlackwelder> I was thinking about one of the PA schools for grad work.......and then had a kid instead.....so grad school on hold
[20:12] <liveoak> 8 am is not ideal for math in my world
[20:12] <SaraKBlackwelder> plus my hubby doesn't want to move to cold weather
[20:12] <SaraKBlackwelder> I didn't do good in my early morning math classes
[20:12] <Rovena> There is no ideal time for math in my world unless it is a game of Cross Sums
[20:13] <Rovena> Excel balances my check book fo me
[20:13] <SaraKBlackwelder> lol......I've learned to love the math a bit
[20:13] <liveoak> I hadn't heard much about Mercyhurst at all, but this one program they have seems to be top notch - Do any of y'all know the school?
[20:13] <SaraKBlackwelder> what program is it?
[20:13] <liveoak> I love algebra and arithmetic is fun, but anything beyond that and I'm lost.
[20:13] <liveoak> the intelligence school
[20:14] <Rovena> Sorry don't know many schools any more
[20:14] <liveoak> Tom Ridge School for Intelligence Studies and Information Science
[20:15] <SaraKBlackwelder> that looks interesting at a quick glance
[20:15] <liveoak> SaraKBlackwelder - how much colder would a school in PA be, for you?
[20:15] <SaraKBlackwelder> I don't know much about the undergrad schools these days.  and honestly, it doesn't even really matter for that anymore
[20:15] <SaraKBlackwelder> since I live in FL??  very cold!!!! lol
[20:16] <liveoak> ah, ok, hehe
[20:16] [Owlhawk] wimp!
[20:16] <SaraKBlackwelder> yea, I would dig it, but he thinks 70 is cold
[20:16] <SaraKBlackwelder> seriously owlhawk!
[20:16] <liveoak> My husband isn't too thrilled either - we're both used to Carolina weather
[20:16] <liveoak> At least I got used to Boston the first time around.
[20:16] <SaraKBlackwelder> it's warmer down here for sure!
[20:17] <SaraKBlackwelder> I really wanted to go to a Boston school when I was younger
[20:17] <liveoak> which?
[20:17] *** Drum (Mibbit@516dcd4.hsd1.mi.5aa6454b.net.hmsk) has joined #adf
[20:17] <SaraKBlackwelder> but now I would want either one of the NC schools, Duke or the other (escaping my mind currently) or Florida
[20:17] <SaraKBlackwelder> Boston Conservatory
[20:17] <SaraKBlackwelder> that was a different major though ;)
[20:17] <Drum> Greetings
[20:18] <Rovena> Hello Drum
[20:18] <SaraKBlackwelder> I ended up getting my BA's in ANthropology and Religious Studies
[20:18] <liveoak> hi
[20:18] <Drum> Hello, Rovena, Sara
[20:18] <Rovena> Conservatory is for music
[20:18] <SaraKBlackwelder> hey Drum
[20:18] [Owlhawk] morning!7
[20:18] <Drum> Hello LiveOak
[20:18] <SaraKBlackwelder> it was for music, vocal performance
[20:18] <Drum> Owlhawk!
[20:18] <liveoak> Right - I thought about going to NEC for cello performance
[20:18] <liveoak> ended up wimping out of the audition, though.
[20:19] <SaraKBlackwelder> I actually got into the school but couldn't hoof the bill
[20:19] <liveoak> understandable
[20:19] <liveoak> props for getting in, though
[20:19] <Rovena> I was lucky Parents footed the bill
[20:19] <SaraKBlackwelder> back then it was like 30k a year....can't even imagine what it is now
[20:19] <SaraKBlackwelder> thanks!
[20:19] <SaraKBlackwelder> bless their hearts, but my parents had no clue
[20:20] <Drum> I am only here for a couple of minutes, my Tuesdays have been very full, but I wanted to say "hello" to everyone
[20:20] <Rovena> We have missed you
[20:20] <Rovena> Understand busy
[20:20] <liveoak> Where are you from, Drum?
[20:20] <Drum> And especially a big Thank You" to Rovena and Owlhawk for their hosting
[20:20] <Drum> Thank You
[20:20] <Drum> I'm from near Detroit, liveoak
[20:21] <Drum> I missed you too!
[20:21] <Rovena> I am working on my last book report
[20:21] <Drum> You aren't from Live Oak, Florida, are you?
[20:21] <Drum> Yes, Rovena!!!
[20:21] <liveoak> no :-)  Hampton Roads, Virginia at the moment
[20:22] <SaraKBlackwelder> wahoo Rovena!
[20:22] <liveoak> There were a lot of live oaks on the street I grew up on
[20:22] <Drum> ok, just checking :)
[20:22] <Drum> I worked with a gentleman from Live Oak a number of years ago
[20:22] <Drum> Anyway, I didn't want to interrupt but to say Hello, I miss you all, and I hope to see you all soon
[20:23] <Drum> Anyway, Ciao!
[20:23] <Rovena> Be safe be proud
[20:23] <Drum> Keep the faith
[20:23] <Drum> <we are a church>
[20:23] <Drum> ;)

[20:23] <Rovena> Night Drum
[20:23] <liveoak> adieu
[20:24] <liveoak> eh, guess I missed him
[20:25] <liveoak> I hear Halley's Comet will be showing up tonight
[20:26] <Rovena> I miss him a lot.  Only get to see him once a year
[20:26] <Rovena> I hadn't heard
[20:26] [Owlhawk] Halley's Comet? Don't think so. That's not for a few decades yet
[20:26] <liveoak> correction: the meteor shower from Halley's Comet
[20:26] <Rovena> I am stuck in a town so I won't get a good view
[20:27] <Rovena> Would love to see the shower
[20:27] <liveoak> I would too.  Too much light pollution here.
[20:27] <liveoak> That was the best part of standing lookout at sea - star gazing
[20:28] <Rovena> I can imagine
[20:32] <SaraKBlackwelder> Daphne says hi everyone
[20:33] <Rovena> Hello Daphne!
[20:33] [Owlhawk] HI Daphne!
[20:33] [Owlhawk] Good night Daphne!
[20:34] <SaraKBlackwelder> ha you wish
[20:34] <SaraKBlackwelder> she's not near that place yet
[20:34] [Owlhawk] no, you wish. I'm safe, aside from meowing demons of utter evil...
[20:34] <SaraKBlackwelder> lol
[20:35] <Rovena> Two more of mine go this week to the vet to get fixed.
[20:35] [Owlhawk] well them and a blood thirsty blonde....
[20:36] [Owlhawk] good luck with it.
[20:37] <Rovena> That will leave only two feral felines to fix if we can catch them
[20:42] [Owlhawk] I use empty boxes as a cat trao 
[20:42] [Owlhawk] trap
[20:42] [Owlhawk] your's might not be that easy through
[20:42] <Rovena> I have live traps but they are too smart for them
[20:43] <Rovena> They sit outside and pull the tuna can to them
[20:43] [Owlhawk] lmao
[20:43] <SaraKBlackwelder> alright folks!!  I'm off to bed.  Have a good night!
[20:43] <liveoak> g'night!  Thanks for the conversation
