[20:24] <Rovena> Hello Trent
[20:24] <NancyMcA> hola
[20:24] <TrentDirenna> how is everyone?
[20:24] <Lesley> How you be
[20:25] <Lesley> good, get to chat with yall fine folks
[20:25] [Owlhawk] getting very suspicious of the lack of snow and starting to think that we are really going to pay for it some time soon.....
[20:26] <TrentDirenna> i'm okay
[20:26] <NancyMcA> Snow? oh gods, not yet, please
[20:26] <TrentDirenna> i just discovered my rent is going up in 2016...by $132
[20:26] <TrentDirenna> last year it went up by $120
[20:26] [Owlhawk] we're over due for a foot or three.
[20:27] <Rovena> No fun, Trent
[20:27] <NancyMcA> Owlhawk, that's just....oh yuck
[20:27] <TrentDirenna> though on the bright side, no snow :-P
[20:27] [Owlhawk] Well, I am in the Ontario snow belt...
[20:27] <Dale> It's warm here.  We may have to cut the grass...in December.
[20:27] <NancyMcA> I'm planning on getting in a few more bulbs this weekend
[20:27] <Lesley> it is always grass cutting season here
[20:28] <NancyMcA> I do think I'm done cutting grass for the season
[20:28] <Lesley> In Pasadena (outside Houston) we have two seasons, hot and hotter with spirtz of a cold chill
[20:28] [Owlhawk] And i much prefer snow to black ice  which we tend to get when it rains instead of snows
[20:29] <NancyMcA> here in the blue ridge of Virginia we get all 4 lovely seasons
[20:29] <TrentDirenna> i do miss winter...sometimes
[20:29] <TrentDirenna> and lately it's been colder here
[20:29] <Lesley> where are you Trent
[20:29] *** Rovena (Mibbit@sorcery-tl2kig.direcpc.com) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client]

[20:37] <MelittaStafford> Hello everyone, I know that I am a little late but I made it.
[20:38] <Rovena> Hello Melitta
[20:38] <Lesley> Hello Melitta
[20:38] <Lesley> how are you
[20:38] <TrentDirenna> hi melitta
[20:38] <MelittaStafford> I am doing really well. Thank you for asking. How is everyone doing tonight?
[20:39] <Lesley> doing good cause on here with yall
[20:39] <Drum> I am fine, Melitta!
[20:39] <MelittaStafford> Im happy that I could make it. Typically my Tuesday nights are really busy but tonight I finished a few errands early. SO, I decided to check in with everyone.
[20:40] <Lesley> well glad you made it too
[20:40] <Drum> Ditto
[20:41] <Drum> I am rarely here on Tuesdays and I miss my peeps
[20:41] <Lesley> same here
[20:41] <MelittaStafford> Yeah me too. At one point I was able to make it more frequently but life happens and we adapt.
[20:42] <Lesley> true that
[20:42] [Owlhawk]  /msg chanserv op Drum
[20:43] <Drum> it doesn't like my password :(
[20:44] <Lesley> i didn't even try to sign in tonight with it
[20:44] <MelittaStafford> Hmm, curious.
[20:45] [Owlhawk] I'm not sure I have the syntax right....I'll see if i can find the proper commands to add an op permenately
[20:45] [Owlhawk] I can do it temp already
[20:46] <Lesley> so anyone doing anything interesting
[20:46] <TrentDirenna> just hanging out really
[20:46] <MelittaStafford> I am just working on January's full moon ritual.
[20:46] <Drum> That sounds neat, Melitta
[20:47] <MelittaStafford> I have never hosted a full moon ritual from an ADF Druid's perspective before. I feel like I am stumbling in the dark here.
[20:47] <Lesley> I am working on a prayer to Garanus for Yule ritual I will be at

[20:47] <MelittaStafford> Well my community has expressed interest in attending one so I decided to host a few to see how they go.
[20:47] <MelittaStafford> Oh that sounds really nice Lesley
[
[20:49] <Lesley> I am going to a ceremony at the UU and so it will be an eccletic ceremony
[20:49] <MelittaStafford> We are hosting our Yule at a UU church as well
[20:49] <Lesley> coolio
[20:50] <Lesley> the UU has been so open and welcoming to me, I like having something like that stable in my life
[20:50] <Rovena> We meet at the local UU.
[20:51] <Lesley> I wish our protogrove did, it would help on the space thing and all that
[20:51] <Lesley> I am sure it would be no big deal
[20:52] <MelittaStafford> Right. I have aspiration that one day, after many many years, there will be a brick and mortar church in our area with weekly services structured loosely around an ADF model with the liberlaism of the UU. Meaning that each week would be a discussion about news that our community faces in the larger Pagan community and how we as Druids can make a difference.
[20:52] <Lesley> I would love that!
[20:52] <Lesley> good admiration to shoot for
[20:53] <MelittaStafford> Oh the UU's are typically such sweet people. The one here has given me a key to their church and only charge $5-15 dollars a service. Which ever is easier at that time.
[20:54] <Lesley> nice
[20:54] <TrentDirenna> cool
[20:54] <MelittaStafford> Well it is decades away but I think that it would be a great service. Hopefully, by that point I would be able to work through a Masters course at the Cherry Hill Seminary. I have taken a few of their rhimzone courses and loved them.
[20:54] <Rovena> Our local World Religion Day planning committee is talking about doing a monthly luncheon to promote diversity
[20:55] <MelittaStafford> Yeah. I was inspired to meet the UU's because of Isaac's introduction in the book Witches, Pagans, and Druids Today. I had never heard of UUism before.
[20:56] <MelittaStafford> Rovena, that would be so nice! I could really see that benefiting the community. Though I am not sure where you are, but I couldn't imagine it would be a bad fit in any area or location.
[20:56] <Lesley> ok yall, love ya but comp dying and have to go before it dies completly
[20:56] <Rovena> NW Louisiana  Bible Belt
[20:56] <Lesley> Kindreds blessing to all
[20:56] <MelittaStafford> Ok. Good night Lesley.
[20:57] *** Lesley (Mibbit@sorcery-g53org.hstntx.sbcglobal.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client]
[20:57] <MelittaStafford> Yeah, it is tedious ground and I too live in the bible belt, but that is what keeps reminding me that the work I help create is so important.
[20:57] <MelittaStafford> I am from Pikeville TN and now I live in Cookeville TN.
[20:57] <Drum> Night Lesley!
[20:58] <Drum> I am glad you like Cherry Hill, Melitta
[20:59] <MelittaStafford> Rovena, a friend of mine is wanting to visit Louisiana next year for his initiation into his vodou house. I had planned on going with him as support and a witness. Maybe on our way through we could stop by and catch a cup of coffee or something.
[21:00] <MelittaStafford> Oh I loved it Drum. Beyond Bake Sale Fundraising and Pagan Ethics were my favorite courses.
[21:00] <Drum> Excellent!
[21:00] <Rovena> Sounds great!  I suppose it will be in New Orleans
[21:00] <Drum> I took one course as well, Gaia
[21:00] <MelittaStafford> In fact I teach a Pagan Ethics course in my area and next year I have been asked by the Nashville Pagan Pride committee to teach a workshop of Pagan Ethics.
[21:01] <MelittaStafford> Oh that sounds really nice.
[21:01] <Drum> Very good!
[21:01] <Rovena> Wonderful!
[21:01] <MelittaStafford> Rovena, yes. It will be in New Orleans. He is very excited. I am a little nervous to go but I also can not abandon him when he needs and wants me to go
[21:02] <Rovena> It should be exciting and it is a great city
[21:02] <MelittaStafford> I am really excited about it. I have never taught a workshop before but I do teach at a Master Barbering school so the concept can not be that different.
[21:02] <MelittaStafford> Rovena, ok well that makes me feel a little better.
[21:04] <MelittaStafford> Any advice on how to structure a workshop to fit within a 60 minute time slot? Or better yet if you had one hour to learn about Pagan Ethics what would you want to know?
[21:07] <Rovena> What I do is determine how much time I want for the presentation and how much for q&a.
[21:07] <Rovena> Then I write out my presentation and keep rewriting until it fits my time limit I set
[21:09] *** Drum (Mibbit@sorcery-030qp0.buckeyecom.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client]
[21:09] <Rovena> I read it out loud to see how it runs time wise
[21:10] <MelittaStafford> That is a really good strategy. Thank you for sharing. That is how I write out my lesson plans but I guess I over complicate the work workshop
[21:11] <Rovena> A workshop is just a lesson
[21:11] <MelittaStafford> Right. I mean I suppose to some degree I always knew that but I just tend to get hung up on words sometimes.
[21:12] <Rovena> It is easy to do
[21:12] <MelittaStafford> It sure is.
[21:14] <MelittaStafford> So does anyone have plans for the upcoming HIgh Day?
[21:14] <Rovena> Our Norse member is writing this ritual.  We are having gumbo at the potluck
[21:15] <MelittaStafford> The group that I hold ritual with is honoring Sul. (I think that is how you spell the name. I am still learning about the Celtic Pantheon)
[21:15] <MelittaStafford> Oh that sounds wonderful. Gumbo is so good this time of the year.
[21:16] <Rovena> Hoping for clear skies so we can have a bonfire
[21:16] <MelittaStafford> I think I am going to make cupcakes for our potluck. I am torn between red velvet and spice cake. I am also making wassil and leading people in making woven stars
[21:17] <MelittaStafford> I hope you are able to have a bonfire. That sounds lovely.
[21:18] <Rovena> woven stars sound nice
[21:19] <MelittaStafford> I posted a video to my facebook. Give me a moment and I will find the link
