[20:00] hey hey [20:00] hoping some folk pop in for our regional meeting here soon. [20:01] [Owlhawk] lol [20:02] [Owlhawk] it's also the advanced study chat night...which I'm getting ready to give up on [20:07] oh... [20:07] I didn't see that on the calendar [20:07] I'm sorry [20:08] [Owlhawk] meh. it's not on the calendar. we can't change that apparently. we've been asked back in the winter for it and have tried to accomadate, and get low turn out. sou.... [20:08] ...you can't change the calendar? why not? [20:08] (I did, and can.) [20:09] [Owlhawk] hunh. I was told we don't have access to it. So no idea then. i don't even remember who told me that [20:09] I chose 3rd wednesdays for the regional chat but can move it to something else if needed. [20:09] [Owlhawk] it's not like anyone shows up here anyway. Maybe check with Rovena for scheduling in future [20:10] I'll drop her a line. I just assumed if there was nothing on the calendar - that's how we always did it :] but I'll message her.

[20:11] but yeah, too - if someone needs help adjusting the calendar, it's easy. [20:12] [Owlhawk] oh? [20:13] you should just be able to hit the plus in the lower right and open it/edit times or create an event as needed.

[20:13] [Owlhawk] last I heard we needed a log in for it [20:13] Good evening all! [20:13] Most of my folk probably won't be on until 8:30 or so [20:14] [Owlhawk] evening [20:14] Hi Grey! [20:14] Yeah, no...I mean, unless I'm still set somewhere (I used to run the chats for years) [20:14] but I don't think so (because it's my gmail not something else) [20:14] you should try it sometime and see what happens. I can always peek and try to help :) [20:15] [Owlhawk] maybe i'll play with it this weekend and see what i can come up with. I haven't actuallyu looked at it myself yet.

[20:16] * BonnieCyr hrms. [20:16] [Owlhawk] it'll keep you occupied [20:16] [Owlhawk] for a bit [20:17] hi Bonnie :) [20:17] *** Jan is now known as Guest12564 [20:17] *** Guest12564 is now known as [Skylark] [20:17] <[Skylark]> apparently i'm not allowed to be Jan [20:18] No Jan for you! [20:22] So how is everyone tonight? [20:22] good [20:23] Apparently (I wasn't aware) the Advanced Studies crew also has this time slot.... [20:23] sooooooo.... [20:23] <[Skylark]> what were you coming in for, Bonnie? [20:23] we'll have to figure out what to do. [20:23] Well I fit both categories. [20:23] I scheduled our Regional meeting, Jan. [20:23] [Owlhawk] meh...honestly, don't worry about it. I haven't had anyone show up since the beginnning of march [20:23] because nothing was on the calendar. [20:23] <[Skylark]> Jay, I'm here! [20:23] And, by the way Jan, I've been working on my studies even though I've fallen behind on Schoology. Although I do keep checking to see where I should be. [20:24] <[Skylark]> (mostly because I miss people) [20:24] [Owlhawk] LET THE PARTY BEGIN! [20:24] [Owlhawk] lol [20:24] * BonnieCyr snuggles Jan. [20:24] <[Skylark]> Grey, yay! [20:24] [Owlhawk] lucky bonnie....blondie would hurt me [20:24] I'll raise you the GSP :D [20:24] I'm nearly done with IE Mythology. I'm just trying to find some more details for a couple essays. [20:24] well, rules are rules. [20:24] <[Skylark]> studies will happen as they happen. no need to stress about it [20:25] Totally. [20:25] <[Skylark]> Snuggle the Bonnie! [20:25] Grey that's like me....I can't get any of my books right now because I'm house-sitting [20:25] ;) I will Jan. Don't you fret. [20:25] la la la [20:25] Ah, it's hard to be without our books. [20:26] Although IE Myth is stalled, Liturgy happens every day! So I really do feel like I'm progressing just by living my Druidism. :) [20:26] Luke is a lucky guy right now. [20:26] though to be fair he is denied my vibrant presence so. [20:26] I guess it evens out. [20:26] (I kid) [20:28] [Owlhawk] we understand that you miss your snuggly [20:30] it sucks. my parents better appreciate my noble sacrifice. [20:30] [Owlhawk] lol [20:30] especially with the resulting allergies. /sigh [20:31] [Owlhawk] cats are evil [20:32] Aww... No... *hugs her three cats* [20:32] *** athansor (Mibbit@6ca5ecde.14055b30.199.19.imsk) has joined #adf [20:32] :P [20:32] Luke is very badly allergic [20:32] Poor guy. [20:32] and I have really bad asthma this year that has left me in shooting pain [20:33] That's awful. [20:33] so I'm on a new medication that just makes me zone out. [20:33] [Owlhawk] blondie is down to three evil meowing demons from the depths of Tartarus! They are EVIL!!!! [20:33] One of my friend's husbands has horrible cat allergies too. I always feel so bad when they come over... [20:33] *** athansor is now known as Guest31245 [20:33] LOL [20:33] Tartarus would be a great name for a cat... [20:34] Avery? [20:34] sup? [20:34] YAY! [20:34] *snuggle* [20:34] * Guest31245 hugs bonnie [20:34] So who else here is from the North East? [20:34] Avery is [20:34] I am [20:34] that's it for the moment. [20:34] Well I know you are, Bonnie. :P ;) [20:34] lol [20:34] Where are you from, Avery? [20:35] sorry I have literal brain right now. [20:35] Connecticut [20:35] It's totally fine. :) [20:35] Charter Oak Grove [20:35] I'm from up-upstate NY. [20:35] Northern Rivers Protogrove. [20:35] north of Brooklyn, then? [20:35] I told my grovies about the chat. Who knows if they'll show. :P [20:35] oh yeah. I'm closer to Canada. ;) [20:35] on a good day, we all are. [20:36] [Owlhawk] I'm not closer to canada....that would pretty much be impossible [20:36] [Owlhawk] :D [20:36] lol [20:36] <[Skylark]> ha! [20:37] <[Skylark]> there's a pick-up line in there somewhere [20:37] Jan here is a Crane <3 and the former Heartland RD [20:37] <[Skylark]> *waves* [20:37] huzzah one grovemate meeting my other :D [20:37] I hate "former" grovemate titles. [20:37] so I won't use them :] [20:37] [Owlhawk] DON'T TELL ME WIF1111E [20:38] [Owlhawk] we understand that you miss your snugglyw [20:38] o . O [20:38] [Owlhawk] WIFE!!!! [20:38] what are you on about? [20:38] [Owlhawk] finally got it to print!@ [20:38] [Owlhawk] the pick up line.... [20:38] o.O [20:38] <[Skylark]> No Crane flies alone! [20:38] carefully the gardener tends the trees <3 [20:39] <[Skylark]> one by one inspecting all the leaves <3 [20:40] removing all the parts outgrown, encouraging new life to grow <3 [20:41] <[Skylark]> letting all the green parts see the light! [20:41] <[Skylark]> hey, whatever happened to us having video chats? [20:41] [Owlhawk] no idea [20:42] heh. [20:42] <[Skylark]> my first introduction to ADF folks was through a video chat, and we ended up trading singing songs and stuff around [20:42] :D [20:42] [Owlhawk] lol. i only got a video camera for the puter last fall [20:42] I was heavily involved until I moved in with Stephen [20:42] and then .. yeah [20:42] so. [20:42] I've been wanting to get back into the stoic chat night [20:42] or the wine along [20:42] but I just haven't had the time [20:43] <[Skylark]> we have a wine-along chat? [20:43] Wine alone chat? Sounds fun. [20:43] Right now I'm having tea, though. [20:43] [Owlhawk] wine along? I think that would have to be fri or sat or i'd be in deep trouble driving a school bus the next day [20:43] Owlhawk, my husband is a school bus driver! [20:43] [Owlhawk] I started in March. [20:44] He has to wake up so early, bless him. He's been doing it for threeish years. [20:44] [Owlhawk] one more course for my full license [20:44] Good for you! [20:44] [Owlhawk] thank you [20:44] we used to, yeah. [20:44] me, michel and pam daw, kathleen pezza (that's how she and I met), Lesley [20:44] before lesley of course went into aa. [20:45] I used to love the video chats. I didn't always participate in the video aspect, but it was nice to put faces to names. [20:45] we'd pick a text, or some kind of druidry-related topic, and bring wine, and come chat :] [20:45] we had a couple rituals too [20:45] [Owlhawk] wifey says she'll have to supervise me for those..... [20:45] [Owlhawk] and it sounds like a greeat idea [20:45] [Owlhawk] \does mead count for wine? [20:45] <[Skylark]> we could wine and video chat! [20:46] <[Skylark]> and read ancient dramas! [20:46] <[Skylark]> and sing! [20:46] [Owlhawk] ***note to self, find clothing for chat nith*** [20:46] <[Skylark]> (when is festival....*whines*) [20:47] [Owlhawk] for you end of may, for me beginning of june since I can't get wellsprings off [20:47] Ooooh... North East Folks - did you see what Robb just posted? [20:47] I did, yea [20:47] That's exciting! [20:47] ?? [20:47] [Owlhawk] ? [20:48] what did he post? [20:48] He posted in the NE FB group about his grove possibly hosting a regional festival in the Albany area. [20:48] TotC wants to have a regional festival/con [20:48] Possibly in the wintertime. [20:48] Gretchen I think runs a comic shop/con group [20:48] so they have a lot of experience with it [20:49] The weather could be dodgy, but it would be a really nice diversion that time of year! [20:49] Call it Snowbound [20:50] Heehee [20:50] So make sure, if you're part of that group, that you express your interest! [20:52] *** Guest31245 is now known as Avery [20:54] [Owlhawk] I don't think i could safely make it out of ontario [20:56] [Owlhawk] at that time of year [20:57] Yeah... We'll see if we can get down through the Tug Hill region. It gets rough. [20:57] You'd have to go right through that way, too. [20:57] I assume... [20:59] [Owlhawk] no idea what that area is or where it is [21:00] [Owlhawk] given our last two winters, i'm not sure I can safely get out of my county... [21:01] Seriously, it was rough. [21:01] *** Avery (Mibbit@6ca5ecde.14055b30.199.19.imsk) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [21:01] I normally enjoy winter, but it really got on my last nerve this year... [21:01] [Owlhawk] 700 lbs of ice took out my deck roof [21:01] We used up all our snowdays at work. [21:01] <[Skylark]> so did we [21:01] Wow. [21:02] <[Skylark]> we're making up an extra week [21:02] We got bad ice the year before. [21:02] [Owlhawk] we're trying to figure out how to rebild it [21:02] Oh that's a bummer, Skylark. [21:02] <[Skylark]> yup [21:02] We might have been able to get to Wellspring if we hadn't used all our snowdays. They usually give us an extra day that weekend, but not this time... [21:03] And it's just so much driving with a toddler. Some people can do it, but I can't. [21:04] We would have been there sometime Saturday afternoon - probably missing many of the workshops - and then we'd have to leave Sunday so that we could recover for work on Tuesday. I feel so old... I can't just bounce back from a festival overnight. LOL [21:04] <[Skylark]> lol, i feel ya [21:05] [Owlhawk] rebound?? that's two weeks later, right? [21:06] I am planning for Harvest Nights, though. We're going to save, request time off in advance, whatever we need! [21:07] [Owlhawk] I'm going to see about Midnight Flame . Wellsprings is out for e this year\ [21:08] I had hoped to attend Three Rivers, but school is still in session and my husband (busdriver) has a difficult time getting time off, and it's all hands on deck with fieldtrips that time of year... [21:08] Between festivals and tests, I look forward to retirement. :P [21:09] [Owlhawk] the friday before three rivers is a PD Day for us! [21:10] oh yay you're coming to Harvest Nights! [21:10] you'll have fun <3 [21:10] <[Skylark]> alright, g'night all [21:11] <[Skylark]> have to sleep before a busy day of sitting and doing nothing while proctoring tests tomorrow [21:11] night Jan!
