Chrome seems to be the problem then; tonight I am on IE. 16[2019-02-19 21:08:06] <@Rovena> The platform can certainly play a part in it. 16[2019-02-19 21:08:14]  This is my first time in this chat; just joined ADF a couple of weeks ago.... 16[2019-02-19 21:08:19] <@Rovena> So, is there anything you want to talk about? 16[2019-02-19 21:08:44] <@Rovena> Chat attendance can vary greatly. 16[2019-02-19 21:09:29]  Not necessarily; still trying to wrap my mind around all of it. 16[2019-02-19 21:09:34] <@Rovena> Being new can certainly be an interesting time. 25[2019-02-19 21:09:45] * NathanLarge (NathanLarge@sorcery-j83dm6.res.rr.com) joins #ADF 16[2019-02-19 21:09:52] <@Rovena> Hello nathan 16[2019-02-19 21:09:57] <@Rovena> How are you tonight? 16[2019-02-19 21:11:08]  Good evening! Fair, recuperating from sick but getting little tasks done. 16[2019-02-19 21:11:50] <@Rovena> Being sick is no fun! At least you are getting a few things doen. That has to help 16[2019-02-19 21:14:09] <@Rovena> The damp, cold weather has hubby arthritis acting up. 16[2019-02-19 21:14:52]  The weather is deranged. I looked at the forecast until March and regretted it. 16[2019-02-19 21:15:03]  10-degree jumps, up and down, for the next two weeks. 16[2019-02-19 21:15:42]  Where I live, 30 degree jumps are normal. 16[2019-02-19 21:15:58] <@Rovena> We will have more rain than normal and colder than normal. 16[2019-02-19 21:16:42] <@Rovena> That doesn't sound like any fun, laoiabhainn. 21[2019-02-19 21:17:20] <@Owlhawk> we're hoping that it's finally going to stop snowing...it's been about a month now after all.... 16[2019-02-19 21:18:05] <@Rovena> I don't know how you do it. 16[2019-02-19 21:19:50]  I grew up with it, so it is normal; it is arid, the air doesn't hold the heat, so sun goes down, and so does the thermometer. 16[2019-02-19 21:20:53] <@Rovena> Understand that. 16[2019-02-19 21:22:31]  I'm just happy the sunlight has started showing up again, in -between. 16[2019-02-19 21:26:40] <@Rovena> Wish we had sunlight. It rained all day today and starting Thursday we have 5 more days of rain. 16[2019-02-19 21:27:15]  Uuggh. 16[2019-02-19 21:30:12]  Sorry if I'm back and forth. Wife put on Umbrella Academy and I'm sucked in. 16[2019-02-19 21:30:31] <@Rovena> I don't know that one. 16[2019-02-19 21:32:14]  Netflix series, based on a Dark Horse comic. A little glam and over-dramatic, but interesting complexity. Sort of Watchmen plus Pulp Fiction plus all those 'Academy for Special Children' shows. 16[2019-02-19 21:32:43]  At least you don't know what happens; I binged Brittania over the weekend. Spoiler alert, the Romans win. 16[2019-02-19 21:33:03] <@Rovena> Ah. We don't have Netflix. Connection isn't good enough to stream. 16[2019-02-19 21:36:20] <@Rovena> The Romans often won. 16[2019-02-19 21:39:13]  yeah well, Huge moneyed Empire with professional soldiers vs unallied, warring tribes is usually somewhat predetermined. 16[2019-02-19 21:40:53] <@Rovena> Guerrila warfare can do lots of damage in confined areas. 16[2019-02-19 21:42:14]  The guerillas have to cooperate first though.... 16[2019-02-19 21:46:28] <@Rovena> It did happen sometimes. Like the Battle of Teutobrg Forest. Hadrain's Wall was to keep the northern tribes out of Roman Britain. 16[2019-02-19 21:49:41]  Yes, Teutoborg was a somewhat of the beginning of the end for the Romans, but the northern Britons together after the Romans carved up the southern ones. 16[2019-02-19 21:52:52] <@Rovena> The northern Britons were Celts and Picts. Most of Southern Britain were various Germanic tribes (Angles, Jutes, Saxons). 16[2019-02-19 21:55:23]  Angles and Jutes came after Rome left Britain; When they landed it was all Celts. The Roman invasion is when the show is set. 16[2019-02-19 22:03:09] <@Rovena> There is too much history to keep it all straight. 16[2019-02-19 22:03:19] <@Rovena> That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;) 16[2019-02-19 22:06:55]  I am only "up on it" because I have been reading it recently. 16[2019-02-19 22:08:11] <@Rovena> Cool. Hope it was an interesting read. 16[2019-02-19 22:10:17]  I'm a history nerd, and never go to this portion of it before, (pre/proto historic Europe) so yeah, it has been interesting. 16[2019-02-19 22:11:44] <@Rovena> I love history, too. Past few years life has left me must time to pursue it. 16[2019-02-19 22:13:53]  Funny thing about history is, you start to realize how nothing has really changed. 16[2019-02-19 22:14:44] <@Rovena> Very true. 16[2019-02-19 22:16:37]  Been reading but didn't have much to add... I should probably head out to bed. Night, all. 27[2019-02-19 22:17:08] * NathanLarge (NathanLarge@sorcery-j83dm6.res.rr.com) has quit IRC (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client) 16[2019-02-19 22:17:13]  Good night, hope you feel better. 16[2019-02-19 22:18:25] <@Rovena> They always seem to sign off before I can say good night. 16[2019-02-19 22:19:44] <@Rovena> I need to say good night myself. Hope you will become a regualr here. We can talk us some history. 16[2019-02-19 22:20:02]  Is there usually a format/subject for the chats, or is it free-form? 16[2019-02-19 22:20:19]  OK, good night. 16[2019-02-19 22:21:06] <@Rovena> Usually free form. We love to answer questions when people have them but we also are a social contact for many who aren't near other members. 16[2019-02-19 22:23:05] <@Rovena> We don't guarantee that we have all the answer but we usually know someone who does. 16[2019-02-19 22:23:14]  OK. there is a grove near me, but I haven't contacted them yet. Just got on to "check it out" 16[2019-02-19 22:23:46] <@Rovena> No problem. We love helping people check ADF out. 16[2019-02-19 22:24:54] <@Rovena> Remember, if you ask 3 druids a question, you are likely to get 9 answers. 16[2019-02-19 22:25:30]  haven't hear that one. I'll keep it in mind. :) 16[2019-02-19 22:26:39] <@Rovena> Look forward to chatting with you another time.
