[18:56] <Magermax> Hio all :)
[18:57] <rovena> Hello
[18:57] <rovena> How are you?
[18:58] [Owlhawk] hello
[18:58] <Magermax> Warming up lol  you?
[18:58] <rovena> We are chilling down. Might have snow on Friday
[19:03] [Owlhawk] we have a snow squall watch that lasts into tomorrow afternoon or evening
[19:03] <rovena> Hubby went out the other night to call the kittens to come inside.  He felt a cat rub up against his leg.  He looked down and froze.  The kitty hadd two wide white stripes.  It casually walked off the porch and out into the yard.
[19:04] <rovena> SNow is normal for you. We haven't had snow here for over ten years.
[19:04] [Owlhawk] lol
[19:04] [Owlhawk] yes it is. good lluck if you get soe
[19:04] [Owlhawk] some
[19:04] <Magermax> Definitely would be an eye opener I'd imagine
[19:06] <rovena> It isn't a native species so we think she is a former pet. She and our cats get along well.
[19:15] <rovena> So what is on everyone's mind?
[19:17] <Magermax> I;m just finally dusting off my neglected Lit 1 submission tonight
[19:17] <Magermax> Youself/
[19:17] <Magermax> ?
[19:18] <rovena> I need to finish my Critical Thinking. Just need to evaluate any article and submit the course.

[19:22] <maurilee> hello all, blessed Tuesday!
[19:22] <Magermax> I think that was my least favorite part of that course.
[19:22] <rovena> Hello Maurilee
[19:22] <Magermax> Hio
[19:24] <maurilee> How are you all doing this night?
[19:25] <rovena> Doing well.
[19:27] <rovena> How are you doing?
[19:28] <maurilee> I'm pretty tired today, blame the allergy meds I took to deal with a mild reaction. Needed a rest anyways though. I'm still waiting on news for my acceptance or not for Initiate
[19:30] <rovena> Good Luck.  I'm working on that program myself.
[19:31] <rovena> I'm waiting on hearing if we get to go from protogrove to grove.
[19:31] <maurilee> I'm sure that will be a night of good news when you receive the information back
[19:32] <rovena> Yes it will be.
[19:33] <maurilee> Anything else you've been up too?
[19:36] <rovena> Redoing the filing system here at the house. Getting ready for World Religion Day.
[19:37] <maurilee> When is that?
[19:40] <rovena> Every January there is a World Religion Day actually around the world.  Ours is one of the largest in the US. In the gym, each faith tradition present has a table where they share their faith trafition. In the chapel, there are three panel discussions each on a different topic.
[19:41] <rovena> The panel had 4 different faith who discuss the question from their tradition.
[19:42] <rovena> We try to have one controversial topic. One year it was gay marriage.
[19:42] <maurilee> oh lovely! I'm gonna look and see if there's any around New Jersey
[19:44] <rovena> The traditions we have include: ADF, Hindus, Muslims, UU, Catholics, Budhists, WIccans, LDS, and Baptist.
[19:45] <maurilee> That's a good mix! I can't seem to find any around me, but I'm def gonna honor it.
[19:47] <rovena> This is our 20th year.  I hate it when people tell me that there aren't any non-Christian religions in this area.
[19:48] <maurilee> Oh I would hate that too
[19:49] <rovena> The worst part is that they usually believe what they are saying.

[19:50] <maurilee> I've run into that on base
[19:53] <rovena> Understand that. I worked for a city government.
[19:53] <maurilee> I've got a full moon planned for the night before so hopefully we can spread the word more again
[19:54] <maurilee> I was running a base group but we shrunk too small
[19:56] <rovena> That can be a problem.  Protogrove got down to just hubby and me several times but we were too stubborn to give up and there was no one to make us.
[19:56] <rovena> We are running about 6 people now.
[19:56] <maurilee> that's a good number
[19:56] <maurilee> I'd love to get back to that
[19:57] <maurilee> I think we are three official and two repeat quests
[19:57] <maurilee> (none military)
[20:00] <rovena> We have 4 paid members, 1 UU pagan, and 2 part-time attendees (one has chronic health issues and the other is current in a homeless shelter).
[20:03] <maurilee> oh wow, I hope it turns around for your 2 part time attendees
[20:05] <rovena> The health one will always have problems due to being missing the sack around the heart so she is always at risk.
[20:05] <maurilee> oh wow I didn't even know that was possible!
[20:05] <rovena> THe other thinks that his mother will be returning to the area and will move in with her.  I give him rides to the meetings.
[20:07] <rovena> She just had her pacemaker battery surgerically replace in November so she is still recovering.  SHe is a great person.
[20:08] <maurilee> That's really nice of you to give him rides, I hope it all works out
[20:09] <rovena> It will be what is will be.
[20:11] <maurilee> how long have you been waiting to find out about your protogrove?
[20:12] <rovena> We submitted the electronic copies on November 11th and mailed the notarized copy on November 12th.
[20:13] <rovena> About three weeks later another grove was announced and they consider one group at a time
[20:13] <rovena> A course we had TYhanksgiving, CHristmas, and New Year fall in there so I hope soon.
[20:14] [Owlhawk] as fast as a speeding oak!
[20:15] <rovena> Aah, yes.  But everyone is volunteer and have jobs and families so it is understandable.
[20:16] <maurilee> you must be getting close
[20:16] <maurilee> it shouldn't be too long for either of us now
[20:18] <rovena> Yes, I should think so
[20:30] <maurilee> what kind of music do you all listen too?
[20:32] <rovena> Irish, Scottish, rock & roll, and jazz
[20:34] [Owlhawk] various. pagan folk to heavy metal to my wife's gods awful country crap
[20:34] [Owlhawk] owie
[20:35] <maurilee> owie?
