[20:01] [Owlhawk] lol [20:02] [Owlhawk] it's also the advanced study chat night...which I'm getting ready to give up on [20:07] <BonnieCyr> oh... [20:07] <BonnieCyr> I didn't see that on the calendar [20:07] <BonnieCyr> I'm sorry [20:08] [Owlhawk] meh. it's not on the calendar. we can't change that apparently. we've been asked back in the winter for it and have tried to accomadate, and get low turn out. sou.... [20:08] <BonnieCyr> ...you can't change the calendar? why not? [20:08] <BonnieCyr> (I did, and can.) [20:09] [Owlhawk] hunh. I was told we don't have access to it. So no idea then. i don't even remember who told me that [20:09] <BonnieCyr> I chose 3rd wednesdays for the regional chat but can move it to something else if needed. [20:09] [Owlhawk] it's not like anyone shows up here anyway. Maybe check with Rovena for scheduling in future [20:10] <BonnieCyr> I'll drop her a line. I just assumed if there was nothing on the calendar - that's how we always did it :] but I'll message her.

[20:13] [Owlhawk] last I heard we needed a log in for it [20:13] <GreyCatsidhe> Good evening all! [20:13] <ADF_Awen> Most of my folk probably won't be on until 8:30 or so [20:14] [Owlhawk] evening [20:14] <ADF_Awen> Hi Grey! [20:14] <ADF_Awen> Yeah, no...I mean, unless I'm still set somewhere (I used to run the chats for years) [20:14] <ADF_Awen> but I don't think so (because it's my gmail not something else) [20:14] <ADF_Awen> you should try it sometime and see what happens. I can always peek and try to help :) [20:15] [Owlhawk] maybe i'll play with it this weekend and see what i can come up with. I haven't actuallyu looked at it myself yet.

I haven't had anyone show up since the beginnning of march [20:23] <BonnieCyr> because nothing was on the calendar. [20:23] <[Skylark]> Jay, I'm here! [20:23] <GreyCatsidhe> And, by the way Jan, I've been working on my studies even though I've fallen behind on Schoology. Although I do keep checking to see where I should be.

I'm just trying to find some more details for a couple essays. [20:24] <BonnieCyr> well, rules are rules. [20:24] <[Skylark]> studies will happen as they happen. no need to stress about it [20:25] <GreyCatsidhe> Totally. [20:25] <[Skylark]> Snuggle the Bonnie! [20:25] <BonnieCyr> Grey that's like me....I can't get any of my books right now because I'm house-sitting [20:25] <BonnieCyr> ;) I will Jan. Don't you fret. [20:25] <BonnieCyr> la la la [20:25] <GreyCatsidhe> Ah, it's hard to be without our books. [20:26] <GreyCatsidhe> Although IE Myth is stalled, Liturgy happens every day! So I really do feel like I'm progressing just by living my Druidism. :) [20:26] <BonnieCyr> Luke is a lucky guy right now. [20:26] <BonnieCyr> though to be fair he is denied my vibrant presence so. [20:26] <BonnieCyr> I guess it evens out. [20:26] <BonnieCyr> (I kid) [20:28] [Owlhawk] we understand that you miss your snuggly [20:30] <BonnieCyr> it sucks. my parents better appreciate my noble sacrifice. [20:30] [Owlhawk] lol [20:30] <BonnieCyr> especially with the resulting allergies. /sigh [20:31] [Owlhawk] cats are evil [20:32] <GreyCatsidhe> Aww...

[20:32] <BonnieCyr> and I have really bad asthma this year that has left me in shooting pain [20:33] <GreyCatsidhe> That's awful. [20:33] <BonnieCyr> so I'm on a new medication that just makes me zone out. [20:33] [Owlhawk] blondie is down to three evil meowing demons from the depths of Tartarus! They are EVIL!!!!

[20:41] <[Skylark]> hey, whatever happened to us having video chats? [20:41] [Owlhawk] no idea [20:42] <BonnieCyr> heh. [20:42] <[Skylark]> my first introduction to ADF folks was through a video chat, and we ended up trading singing songs and stuff around [20:42] <BonnieCyr> :D [20:42] [Owlhawk] lol. i only got a video camera for the puter last fall [20:42] <BonnieCyr> I was heavily involved until I moved in with Stephen [20:42] <BonnieCyr> and then .. yeah [20:42] <BonnieCyr> so. [20:42] <BonnieCyr> I've been wanting to get back into the stoic chat night [20:42] <BonnieCyr> or the wine along [20:42] <BonnieCyr> but I just haven't had the time [20:43] <[Skylark]> we have a wine-along chat? [20:43] <GreyCatsidhe> Wine alone chat? Sounds fun. [20:43] <GreyCatsidhe> Right now I'm having tea, though. [20:43] [Owlhawk] wine along? I think that would have to be fri or sat or i'd be in deep trouble driving a school bus the next day [20:43] <GreyCatsidhe> Owlhawk, my husband is a school bus driver! [20:43] [Owlhawk] I started in March. [20:44] <GreyCatsidhe> He has to wake up so early, bless him. He's been doing it for threeish years. [20:44] [Owlhawk] one more course for my full license [20:44] <GreyCatsidhe> Good for you! [20:44] [Owlhawk] thank you [20:44] <BonnieCyr> we used to, yeah. [20:44] <BonnieCyr> me, michel and pam daw, kathleen pezza (that's how she and I met), Lesley [20:44] <BonnieCyr> before lesley of course went into aa. [20:45] <GreyCatsidhe> I used to love the video chats. I didn't always participate in the video aspect, but it was nice to put faces to names. [20:45] <BonnieCyr> we'd pick a text, or some kind of druidry-related topic, and bring wine, and come chat :] [20:45] <BonnieCyr> we had a couple rituals too [20:45] [Owlhawk] wifey says she'll have to supervise me for those..... [20:45] [Owlhawk] and it sounds like a greeat idea [20:45] [Owlhawk] \does mead count for wine? [20:45] <[Skylark]> we could wine and video chat! [20:46] <[Skylark]> and read ancient dramas! [20:46] <[Skylark]> and sing! [20:46] [Owlhawk] ***note to self, find clothing for chat nith*** [20:46] <[Skylark]> (when is festival....*whines*) [20:47] [Owlhawk] for you end of may, for me beginning of june since I can't get wellsprings off [20:47] <GreyCatsidhe> Ooooh... North East Folks - did you see what Robb just posted? [20:47] <BonnieCyr> I did, yea [20:47] <GreyCatsidhe> That's exciting! [20:47] <Guest31245> ?? [20:47] [Owlhawk] ? [20:48] <Guest31245> what did he post? [20:48] <GreyCatsidhe> He posted in the NE FB group about his grove possibly hosting a regional festival in the Albany area. [20:48] <BonnieCyr> TotC wants to have a regional festival/con [20:48] <GreyCatsidhe> Possibly in the wintertime. [20:48] <BonnieCyr> Gretchen I think runs a comic shop/con group [20:48] <BonnieCyr> so they have a lot of experience with it [20:49] <GreyCatsidhe> The weather could be dodgy, but it would be a really nice diversion that time of year! [20:49] <Guest31245> Call it Snowbound [20:50] <GreyCatsidhe> Heehee [20:50] <GreyCatsidhe> So make sure, if you're part of that group, that you express your interest! [20:52] *** Guest31245 is now known as Avery [20:54] [Owlhawk] I don't think i could safely make it out of ontario [20:56] [Owlhawk] at that time of year [20:57] <GreyCatsidhe> Yeah... We'll see if we can get down through the Tug Hill region. It gets rough. [20:57] <GreyCatsidhe> You'd have to go right through that way, too. [20:57] <GreyCatsidhe> I assume... [20:59] [Owlhawk] no idea what that area is or where it is [21:00] [Owlhawk] given our last two winters, i'm not sure I can safely get out of my county... [21:01] <GreyCatsidhe> Seriously, it was rough.

[21:01] [Owlhawk] 700 lbs of ice took out my deck roof [21:01] <GreyCatsidhe> We used up all our snowdays at work. [21:01] <[Skylark]> so did we [21:01] <GreyCatsidhe> Wow. [21:02] <[Skylark]> we're making up an extra week [21:02] <GreyCatsidhe> We got bad ice the year before. [21:02] [Owlhawk] we're trying to figure out how to rebild it [21:02] <GreyCatsidhe> Oh that's a bummer, Skylark. [21:02] <[Skylark]> yup [21:02] <GreyCatsidhe> We might have been able to get to Wellspring if we hadn't used all our snowdays. They usually give us an extra day that weekend, but not this time... [21:03] <GreyCatsidhe> And it's just so much driving with a toddler. Some people can do it, but I can't. [21:04] <GreyCatsidhe> We would have been there sometime Saturday afternoon - probably missing many of the workshops - and then we'd have to leave Sunday so that we could recover for work on Tuesday. I feel so old... I can't just bounce back from a festival overnight. LOL [21:04] <[Skylark]> lol, i feel ya [21:05] [Owlhawk] rebound?? that's two weeks later, right? [21:06] <GreyCatsidhe> I am planning for Harvest Nights, though. We're going to save, request time off in advance, whatever we need! [21:07] [Owlhawk] I'm going to see about Midnight Flame . Wellsprings is out for e this year\ [21:08] <GreyCatsidhe> I had hoped to attend Three Rivers, but school is still in session and my husband (busdriver) has a difficult time getting time off, and it's all hands on deck with fieldtrips that time of year... [21:08] <GreyCatsidhe> Between festivals and tests, I look forward to retirement. :P [21:09] [Owlhawk] the friday before three rivers is a PD Day for us!
