It's over when this starts. [19:58] *** Rovena (Mibbit@14055a93.6ca5f07f.72.170.imsk) has joined #adf [19:58] *** Mode change [+o Rovena] on #adf by ChanServ [19:59] CBC?

[20:06] hi Rovena, how are you tonight? [20:06] [Owlhawk] hello [20:06] hey Owl [20:06] Better than hubby [20:07] He has 4 new stitches and has to keep is foot elevated [20:07] oh owww. ... that's not great [20:07] ow [20:08] He promises to wear gloves when installing the metal roof but he swears he doesn't know how he hurt his foot [20:08] Keeping my right stump isn't required, but it's helpful. Sadly I have no place to rest it at the computer desk. [20:08] no extra chairs to post it on? [20:08] Not in this confined space. [20:08] [Owlhawk] you need a better chair. Lazy boyx make a great computer chair [20:08] *** ErinP (Mibbit@36921445.dsl.282eb7d8.ca.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:09] Hello [20:09] I have a chair, I sit in it all day. That's not the issue. >8) [20:09] Transferring to a more comfy chair is generally not worth the effort. [20:10] [Owlhawk] ah [20:10] Hi Rob [20:10] Hi owlhawk [20:10] [Owlhawk] hello [20:10] Hello Erin [20:10] Hi Rovena [20:11] my doctor corrected me today, I am not 1 year in remission, I'm 2 years in remission! [20:11] :) [20:11] Excellent [20:12] Nice! [20:12] and she thinks I have nerve damage in my back, which would explain the pain I get from walking [20:12] And who is the mysterious kit? [20:13] so I'm gonna call my GP tomorrow to see about getting a permanent handicapped parking permit [20:13] good luck getting the permit [20:13] thanks! [20:14] Rob, good luck with the foot ... [20:15] I have a foot? >8) [20:15] Maybe now my trainer won't pressure me to get on the treadmill lol [20:15] you have a foot? [20:16] Technically I do have two, and i can prove they're mine, because I kept the receipt. [20:16] [Owlhawk] lol [20:16] LOL [20:16] Lol [20:19] Sens won again last night. [20:19] I've not followed hockey lately. [20:19] Wonder how long this streak will last [20:20] Hey, at least you knew it was hockey I was talking about. [20:21] *** TomB (Mibbit@15bc4998.prvdri.fios.36f5c1fe.net.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:21] Evening Peeps [20:21] Hello Tom. [20:21] Hi Tom. [20:22] What's the doing tonight? [20:22] *** thexalon (thexalon@b07a5574.neo.res.14056255.com.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:22] I got great news today? [20:22] [Owlhawk] I'm praying we don't get freezing rain tonight [20:22] :) [20:22] I pray for any rain ... [20:23] send your freezing rain down here Owl [20:23] How's the roof owlhawk? [20:23] What's ErinP's great news? [20:23] I'm still in remission :) [20:23] That *is* great news. [20:23] [Owlhawk] the deck one>? Dead. I'll replace it in July. [20:23] Cool [20:23] I don't have to go back for a ct scan for another year! [20:23] [Owlhawk] I'd love ot send it to you Victoria [20:23] Oh ok owl. [20:24] I'm just eagerly waiting for Lake Erie to finally melt. [20:24] Better frozen than on fire (that was lake Erie wasn't it?) [20:24] [Owlhawk] We still had people ice fishing this weekend [20:24] TomB: No, that was the Cuyahoga River, which flows into Lake Erie. [20:25] oh, gotcha [20:25] Where you from thexalon? [20:25] Cleveland, and Stone Creed Grove if that matters. [20:26] Ahh. You organize wellspring? [20:26] Yup, I'm one of the crew that does that. [20:27] I'm renting a b&b room at the Plum Door B&B for Wellspring... Would I still have to pay the $10 camping fee? If I wasn't staying overnight? [20:28] I'll have to check with AJ Gooch who handles that end of things. I think the answer is no, but don't hold me to it. [20:28] back [20:28] OK ty [20:28] When I've stayed at a hotel for wellspring, i still had to pay the camping fee. [20:29] I can't camp cause of my health problems [20:29] really? That sucks [20:29] Bathroom use. [20:29] ohhh [20:29] well on then. [20:29] Maybe if you promise to hold it in all day. >8) [20:30] Lol. [20:31] Even if your eyes turn yellow [20:31] Hahaha [20:32] If you want yellow eyes contact lens would be easier [20:32] Too bad you can't camp - even being in the cabins can make you a bit isolated. [20:33] I need a washroom within 30 seconds of my standing up. [20:33] I definitely felt my inability to talk randomly among the tents at night cut down on my experience last year. [20:35] I'm hoping I can manage to go next year. [20:35] I don't mind driving back at night. [20:35] Staying at the Holiday Inn Express was decent. [20:35] But I go to bed at 10 anyway [20:35] Other than the cost. [20:36] it's 95$/night. [20:36] I figure that's decent [20:36] plus I'm going with a bf of mine [20:36] And I have to admit the hotel has its appeal when we've gotten frost. [20:37] [Owlhawk] better frost then snow. [20:37] lol [20:37] yes [20:37] I'm always of 2 minds .. I don't really enjoy camping, but I like being around everyone [20:38] [Owlhawk] It's not camping, it's more akin to setting up our houses in a field. [20:38] [Owlhawk] Complete with fridges sometimes [20:38] Oh, owlhawk, I'll be staying with Leo this year at kg. We talked about it [20:39] [Owlhawk] ah [20:39] Just for the weekend [20:39] maybe Kayley and I can hang out. [20:39] It's more like setting up a temporary village than a remote camp. [20:39] [Owlhawk] 'k. we might have minions this year [20:39] That's ok [20:40] [Owlhawk] They've been informed already that they'll be doing the dishes! [20:40] ooo nice! [20:40] On a totally unrelated topic, how did everybody's equinox rites go? [20:40] Poor attendance but good ritual. [20:40] Good .. I wrote a saxon rite that went off pretty well [20:40] Ours was child. [20:40] Chilly [20:40] *** LisaWM (Mibbit@ee19613a.cpe.de729c11.ca.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:40] Hello cool kids [20:40] I didn't get to go to my local grove's but my solo one went ok. I think I'm getting the hang of it [20:41] [Owlhawk] hello [20:41] we had a new guy show up [20:41] Good got the Hare as omen [20:41] Hello there [20:41] LisaWM: We're discussing equinox rites. [20:41] Mine went very well, although also very lightly attended by our grove's standards. [20:41] our future omen was romance woo go [20:41] ho [20:41] Ours was the most well attended rite in our Grove's history [20:41] (barring say, a pagan pride or something) [20:42] [Owlhawk] fantastic [20:42] Awesome!. [20:42] Stone Creed had a couple of newcomers, and our omen was that it was unexpected surprises that would turn poor situations into warmth and light. [20:42] [Owlhawk] I made a beer and a ginger beer. the rite I did was short. [20:42] We honoured An Cailleach at the end of Winter, as is our custom, and then blessed our Spring Baskets. [20:42] Lisa, we had a new person come to our eit [20:42] rit. [20:43] Also the highlight, since this was a Dionysos-focused rite, was a short satyr play by yours truly, which managed to get a few laughs. [20:43] His name is stephab [20:43] Our omen was the Cow, which our Seer interpreted as protection and strength. [20:43] Cool, Erin [20:43] [Owlhawk] I saw one of the Masks posted in one of the facebook groups from your play [20:43] Yeah, I saw the Kore one on Facebook [20:44] That mask looked pretty cool [20:44] Oh and Lake of Oaks is doing a mummers play on Parliament Hill for the summer solstice [20:44] Owlhawk: Actually, that wasn't from the play, that was from the smaller section in honor of Kore based on the lesser Eleusinian Mysteries. [20:44] *** Oliver (Mibbit@e9bec26c.dr02.ckvl.tn.7e44e9fb.net.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:44] [Owlhawk] ah [20:45] Is the script from your play available online? [20:45] Not yet, but I'll add it to my list of things I ought to get out there. [20:45] and Ian changed our website server, so it loads better now!.. [20:48] I'll head off now and do the rewrites for my CTP course. Have fun, all! [20:48] Night Rob [20:48] Bye Rob! [20:48] Nite Rob [20:48] I need to head out myself .. being way too distracted with work [20:49] Speaking of web sites, does anyone know of a site like theoi.com (greek) that covers Celtic stuff? [20:49] Night rob [20:49] *** RobHenderson (Mibbit@5a79652d.hsd1.mi.5aa6454b.net.hmsk) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:49] *** Victoria-Leona (Mibbit@c84a58d.hfc.f2428a0b.net.hmsk) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:50] Night Victoria [20:50] Night v... too late :) [20:51] *** Oliver (Mibbit@e9bec26c.dr02.ckvl.tn.7e44e9fb.net.hmsk) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:51] I don't know Tom. [20:51] Sorry [20:52] [Owlhawk] try asking on the celtic email list [20:53] I'm mostly Norse, and my grove is mainly Celtic, so I'm trying to get to know the Celtic gods, but I've only found a few [20:53] Oh, I didn't think about that. Sometimes I forget the resources we have [20:53] What sort of stuff are you looking for? [20:53] I'll dump a bunch of links and you can see if you like em... [20:54] :) [20:54] Celtic Literature Collective -- read translations of stories, or the original language, if that's what you're into: http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/ [20:54] Poems mostly. Sometimes I'll cruise Theoi and get inspired. It'd be nice to have that for my Celtic leanings. I found http://manannan.net and that's helped a lot but it's rather specific [20:54] For ErinP: Word from AJ is that yes, there are day-visit fees from Brushwood. [20:54] Also, her Celtic Encyclopedia: http://www.maryjones.us/jce/jce_index.html [20:54] OK thanks thexalon [20:55] For basic introductory stuff, the glossary at New Tara: http://newtara.org/newtara_glossary.asp [20:56] If CR is your thing, try Tairis: http://tairis.co.uk/ [20:56] is there like a Walmart or grocery store close to wellspring so I can go shopping for food? [20:56] so many tabs open now... ;) [20:57] Thanks! :) [20:57] [Owlhawk] I stop at grocery store along the way once I'm off the Interstate. [20:57] Ok [20:58] I gotta take 2 toll bridges to get there :/ [20:58] I would also recommend, Tom, the Oxford Dictionary of Celtic Mythology -- http://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Celtic-Mythology-Paperback-Reference/dp/0198609671 [20:58] I have that one [20:58] :) [20:59] I'm adding it to my shopping list. [20:59] If you have particular questions, I will do my best to help. I'm a library technician with a Celtic studies degree ;) [20:59] Though there's loads of people in ADF who know more than me [21:00] Can I pick your brain later Lisa? [21:00] Also this: http://www.ucc.ie/celt/ [21:00] I've always been fascinated by Irish/Celtic (now expanding out to other flavors) but I always end up getting confused. [21:00] Sure, Erin [21:01] Thanks :) [21:01] Confused how? Because there are so many people, or because the gods' "portfolios" aren't clear, or? [21:02] Conflicting information I guess. These three goddesses are The Morrigan... oh and sometimes this one and this one over here and um... your mom yeah she's one too. [21:02] For example [21:02] Haha, yeah. [21:02] Lol [21:02] Some names of gods are titles... so they very well could be more than one being. [21:03] An Morrigan is a title.... so is An Dagda... Brighid probably is too [21:03] It's starting to come together. [21:03] ya. [21:03] I get the feeling there's lots of little gods that got mashed together at some point. [21:03] I just realized that we call the dagda at all our cross quarter celebration s. [21:04] Why is that, Erin? [21:04] Changer of the seasons. [21:04] With his harp? [21:04] I think that's why. [21:05] If I read it properly. [21:05] :) [21:06] ErinP: Sorry for missing your question about the Wellspring location - there's a couple of general stores in town, and if you're willing to travel further you're within 30 minutes of Erie PA. [21:06] We actually have standard liturgy now!. [21:06] I just looked up that reference about the harp, Erin [21:06] and it's near one of my favourite lines in Cath Maige Tuired [21:06] "Ogma unsheathed the sword and cleaned it. Then the sword told what had been done by it, because it was the habit of swords at that time to recount the deeds that had been done by them whenever they were unsheathed. " [21:06] Ah? [21:07] Thanks thexalon. [21:07] :) [21:07] [Owlhawk] I'm off to bed. I have to be up stupid early tomorrow. I'll leave the chat open so the log is complete. good night all [21:07] I figure that would get annoying, if your sword talked every time you took it out lol [21:07] :) [21:07] Have a good sleep! [21:08] g'night [21:08] night owlhawk. [21:08] Lol Lisa. [21:09] gotta toss the chuckle heads in bed. g'night if I miss anyone before I get back [21:09] Ok [21:09] I should get to bed.... Should! [21:10] Oh Lisa, the deadline for giai gathering ad is April 15h I think. [21:11] Yeah, I know, I've already contacted her but there's been some changes to their ad sizes. [21:11] I'm donating some cash.. [21:11] So for the same price we'll get a half pace [21:11] page [21:11] Nice! [21:11] She sent me an invoice for a quarter page though so she needs to redo it for me [21:11] Ahh OK. [21:12] And then once I have the new invoice I'll contact everyone who said they would donate with my paypal info so they can send me the dollars [21:12] The weekend was a little busy with Latha na Cailliche [21:12] Yes. [21:12] and usually Monday is my Grove/ADF day, but I took extra hours instead [21:12] Ahh [21:14] OK. Time for bed. Have a good night everyone! [21:14] goodnight!
