[20:00] <Rovena> Hello Kalisha
[20:01] <Rovena> How are you tonight?
[20:03] <Kalisha> better than Sunday LOL Have a quick spinal procedure coming up on Friday and am praying it works. tired of living in pain
[20:03] <Kalisha> And y'all...  what's up
[20:04] <Rovena> Hubby has chronic pain. Understand that it is a real bummer.
[20:04] <Rovena> Good luck with the procedure
[20:05] <Rovena> It is warm here ... 85 F
[20:05] <Kalisha> it effects every thing... days without pain are absolute gems
[20:05] <Kalisha>  91 in Carlsbad,NM
[20:06] <Rovena> Definitely warm
[20:06] <Kalisha> I fear summer this year if we are already this hot. and no rain! And they want us to believe global warming isn't real
[20:06] <Rovena> How true!
[20:07] <Kalisha> so did you have a good Ostara
[20:07] <Rovena> Grove is doing our ritual this Saturday
[20:07] <Rovena> How was yours?
[20:07] <Kalisha> hope all enjoy
[20:07] <Kalisha> slow but pleasant
[20:08] <Rovena> We usually do .. especialy the feast afterwards
[20:08] <Rovena> pleasant is good.
[20:09] [Owlhawk] We hit about 10 degrees Celsious today and are expecting snow tonight and tomorrow. SOMEONE GET GAEA SOME MIDOL!!!!!!
[20:09] <Kalisha> feast... yum! I miss that about my old covenstead.we had the best pot lucks. Every moon we would pick a country and do that flavor
[20:10] <Kalisha> I hear that.... Parts of the Nation are in a heat wave while others are freezing and buried in snow & ice
[20:11] [Owlhawk] I'm not in the US. I'm in Ontario. We get stupid amounts of snow normally. I should have at least 8 ft of snow in my yard right now and be expecting a bunch more....I can see my lawn....
[20:11] [Owlhawk] and should be......
[20:12] <Kalisha> I like snow, but NOT that much
[20:12] [Owlhawk] meh, when the Olympics were in Vancouver, we were losing houses in snow banks
[20:14] <Kalisha> That was me last February.... for about 12 weeks. Got snowed in, couln't get truck  or car out of driveway or carport
[20:14] <Kalisha> The old timers called it the 100 year snow
[20:14] [Owlhawk] our resion shut down for all of january that year. Totally. All roads in and out of the two counties were closed
[20:14] *** Thexalon (Mibbit@sorcery-a890t0.res.rr.com) has joined #ADF
[20:14] [Owlhawk] hello Thexalon
[20:14] <Rovena> Hello Thexalon
[20:14] <Kalisha> I don't envy you
[20:14] <Thexalon> Why not?
[20:15] [Owlhawk] lol. it's normal.
[20:15] <Kalisha> Hey there!
[20:15] [Owlhawk] amount of snow we get in my area
[20:15] [Owlhawk] well, amount we normally get....this year is just bizarre
[20:15] <Thexalon> Oh. For what it's worth, we've got nothing right now in Ohio.
[20:15] <Kalisha> that's why I live in a desert... 3quarters reptile LOL
[20:15] [Owlhawk] it was 10 degrees today and we're expecting snow tonight and tomorrow
[20:16] <Thexalon> Well, Tredara's neither overly soaked nor swarming with reptiles.
[20:16] [Owlhawk] celcious
[20:16] <Thexalon> Nor freezing. Quite lovely day, really.
[20:17] <Kalisha> I had rather be hot than cold. Had a beginning stage frost bit and cold still is very painful for me
[20:18] <Thexalon> So, how about talking Spring Equinox?
[20:19] <Kalisha> OK...Where would you like to start
[20:19] [Owlhawk] sure. how was it at Tredara?
[20:19] *** Sister-Spiral (Mibbit@sorcery-b5c915.dsl.airstreamcomm.net) has joined #ADF
[20:20] <Sister-Spiral> Good evening! Happy Spring everyone.
[20:20] <Thexalon> Our big grove equinox wasn't at Tredara, but in a park pavilion closer to the city. It was a lot of fun, but I admit I'm more than a little biased.
[20:20] <Thexalon> Happy spring, Sister!
[20:21] <Rovena> Hello Sister
[20:21] <Thexalon> I hope folks saw Fox's postings about re-kindling the permanent flame.
[20:21] <Rovena> Yes, it was very interesting
[20:22] <Kalisha> No.. were might it be found?
[20:22] <Sister-Spiral> I saw that. I'm waiting for my iPad to recharge so I can get to studying the Dedicant's Manual.
[20:22] <Rovena> on Facebook
[20:22] <Kalisha> ????Page
[20:23] <Thexalon> He put it out on Facebook. He's one of several people who maintains a continuous flame throughout the year.
[20:23] <Kalisha> OK that pretty kewl
[20:24] <Thexalon> It's an idea that has strong lore backing in Roman, Greek, and I think Vedic cultures as well.
[20:24] <Kalisha> i believe so
[20:25] [Owlhawk] Yes, Vedic as well. Across IE as a whole, as I remember his presentation.
[20:26] <Kalisha> ouch... kitties and dog are starting to rumble..need to go,til later. Have a good Spring those that are circling this weekend, local witch signing off

[20:29] <Sister-Spiral> So...I'm apparently rude. Apologies Rovena, and hello! How was your Equinnox?
[20:30] <Rovena> Not rude.  Hard to keep track of everyone in chat.
[20:30] <Rovena> Grove will have our ritual on Saturday
[20:30] <Sister-Spiral> :) I think the nearest grove to me is hosting their this Saturday as well.
[20:31] <Rovena> We were suppose to have had it last Saturday but hubby was still recovering from neck surgery so we postponed it a week so he could be part of it.
[20:32] <Sister-Spiral> Understandable.
[20:33] <Thexalon> It's definitely different with smaller groves that are more reliant on a few people.
[20:33] <Sister-Spiral> My daughter and I did something very informal together on Sunday.
[20:34] <Rovena> Informal can be fun.
[20:34] <Thexalon> Informal is fine.
[20:34] <Rovena> Small groups do have their own special challenges
[20:35] <Thexalon> And actually, my fairly formal rite was honoring Dionysos, so it certainly had its share of silliness.
[20:36] <Rovena> Nothing wrong with silliness
[20:36] <Sister-Spiral> That does sound like fun, Thexalon. Laughter is amazing magic.
[20:36] [Owlhawk] almost required some days with Dionyusus. IO DIonysus!
[20:36] <Rovena> Every time we honor the Nature Spirits as the DoD it gets silly
[20:37] <Sister-Spiral> DoD?
[20:37] <Rovena> Deity of the Day.
[20:38] <Thexalon> You must have some of the sillier nature spirits around then.
[20:38] <Rovena> In the COoR you have someone or group as the special guest of honor
[20:38] <Rovena> Louisiana can produce some characters both human and spirit
[20:39] <Sister-Spiral> Thank you for clarifying. I am still learning...pretty much everything.
[20:40] <Rovena> Trust me, we are all still learning.
[20:41] [Owlhawk] The day one stops learning, is the day one's loved ones begin planning one's funeral
[20:41] <Sister-Spiral> True enough.
[20:41] <Thexalon> There's no shame in not knowing.
[20:41] <Rovena> The shame is in not asking the question

[20:43] <Thexalon> But I have to admit, I'm used to the term "Deity of the Occasion", not "Deity of the Day".
[20:44] <Rovena> Not sure where I saw it.
[20:45] <Sister-Spiral> I'll be back shortly. :)
[20:54] <Rovena> I hate paperwork. Everytime I think I have finished the incorporation paperwork for our grove there is some other hoop to jump through.
[20:55] <Thexalon> I feel your pain. Not with my grove, but another non-profit I've been working on starting.
[20:58] <Rovena> At least I can do it all online but I have to file a document then wait for an email to do the next step
[21:00] <Rovena> At least it is not just a pain in Louisiana.

[21:02] <Rovena> How are you tonight?
[21:02] *** Starwolf (Mibbit@sorcery-057kee.res.rr.com) has joined #ADF
[21:02] <NathanLarge> Hello!  Well, thank you.
[21:03] <Rovena> Hello Starwolf
[21:03] <NathanLarge> What's new tonight?
[21:03] <Starwolf> hi :)
[21:03] <Rovena> Everything and nothing
[21:03] <Starwolf> hows everyone doing tonight?
[21:04] <Rovena> Trying to stay cool.  Got warm today.
[21:04] <Starwolf> I'm shivering so chilly
[21:05] <Rovena> Wish I could send you some of our heat
[21:05] <Rovena> And kittens to Owlhawk
[21:05] <Starwolf> please on the heat just no more kitties right now we have three already lol
[21:06] <NathanLarge> With enough kitties, it might get warmer.
[21:06] <Thexalon> I'm just trying to recover from a day in an office - not my favorite activity at all.
[21:06] [Owlhawk] HISSSSSSSSS........................jBAHHHHHHHHHHHH.............EVIL MEOWING DAEMONS FROM THE DEPTHS OF TARTARUW!!!!  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[21:06] <Rovena> I have around twelve that are hanging out here plus two of the neighbors'
[21:06] [Owlhawk] Blondie says she'
[21:07] [Owlhawk] d take two if Snowball wasn't likely to try and kill them
[21:07] <Starwolf> five in our area will get them all taken away. I've been learning about obstetrics all day
[21:08] <NathanLarge> I'm trying to find an office to get stuck in all day. ;)
[21:08] <Starwolf> five cats sorry
[21:08] <Rovena> Preganant cats seem to love our house.
[21:08] <Rovena> Good luck with that finding an office
[21:08] <Starwolf> in our area they do have a group that goes around collecting strays and getting them fixed
[21:08] <Rovena> Hubby is building me one
[21:09] <NathanLarge> To be honest, though, today's application was for freelance writing from home.  (thank you, still)
[21:09] <Rovena> Workiong from home sounds like fun.
[21:10] <NathanLarge> I suppose homemade means that you always get the corner office, if you want.
[21:11] <Rovena> And it has an ideal commute
[21:12] <Thexalon> Exactly.
[21:12] <Starwolf> love that commute during the bad weather lol
[21:15] [Owlhawk] I don't know....I get paid for snow days....
[21:15] <NathanLarge> They "warned" to expect a constant stream of writing assignments on deadlines.  Sounds terrible!
[21:16] <Starwolf> did everyone have a nice Spring Equinox ?  In this area we are expected to be at work if the weathers bad you still get kicked and no pay for missing due to bad weather.
[21:16] <Rovena> You are lucky, Owlhawk.
[21:17] <Rovena> I was at work several times when we lost electricity and we had to stay on duty.
[21:17] <Rovena> Once they used a truck to keep us warm by rotating us through sitting in the truck with the heater running.
[21:17] [Owlhawk] I live in the snow belt, and I drive a school bus.....
[21:18] <Starwolf> We live close to the snow belts but that is scary to drive a bus in snow belt regions
[21:23] [Owlhawk] I'm in the snow belt in Ontario, we get enough snow that we measure it in feet
[21:23] <Starwolf> ouch yup we're in Erie pa But you beat us for sure
[21:25] [Owlhawk] we beat most places when it comes to snow. 
[21:26] <Starwolf> well have a great night I'm off just wanted to say hi :)

[21:30] <NathanLarge> Anyone not on the ADF Facebook page?  There was a notice about some trouble Phaedra Bonewits is having and help needed.
[21:31] <Rovena> Just saw it.
[21:31] [Owlhawk] I saw that and my immediate thought was, how do I know that this post is legitimate?
[21:33] <Rovena> I am facebook friends with Phaedra so I know that she did have the car accident and is moving into senior housing.
[21:33] <NathanLarge> There's another post below it where Phaedra comments, also.
[21:33] <Thexalon> Rovena is correct about that. It seems legit.
[21:34] [Owlhawk] I only saw the one post. I'm naturally suspicious
[21:35] <Rovena> In this day and age, suspicious is the name of the game.
[21:42] <NathanLarge> All right, friends, I'm stepping out as well.  Have a good evening; Happy Spring!
[21:42] <Rovena> NIght Nathan
