[20:03] 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] And y'all... what's up [20:04] Hubby has chronic pain. Understand that it is a real bummer. [20:04] Good luck with the procedure [20:05] It is warm here ... 85 F [20:05] it effects every thing... days without pain are absolute gems [20:05] 91 in Carlsbad,NM [20:06] Definitely warm [20:06] 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] How true! [20:07] so did you have a good Ostara [20:07] Grove is doing our ritual this Saturday [20:07] How was yours? [20:07] hope all enjoy [20:07] slow but pleasant [20:08] We usually do .. especialy the feast afterwards [20:08] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] Hello Thexalon [20:14] I don't envy you [20:14] Why not? [20:15] [Owlhawk] lol. it's normal. [20:15] 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] Oh. For what it's worth, we've got nothing right now in Ohio. [20:15] 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] Well, Tredara's neither overly soaked nor swarming with reptiles. [20:16] [Owlhawk] celcious [20:16] Nor freezing. Quite lovely day, really. [20:17] I had rather be hot than cold. Had a beginning stage frost bit and cold still is very painful for me [20:18] So, how about talking Spring Equinox? [20:19] 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] Good evening! Happy Spring everyone. [20:20] 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] Happy spring, Sister! [20:21] Hello Sister [20:21] I hope folks saw Fox's postings about re-kindling the permanent flame. [20:21] Yes, it was very interesting [20:22] No.. were might it be found? [20:22] I saw that. I'm waiting for my iPad to recharge so I can get to studying the Dedicant's Manual. [20:22] on Facebook [20:22] ????Page [20:23] He put it out on Facebook. He's one of several people who maintains a continuous flame throughout the year. [20:23] OK that pretty kewl [20:24] It's an idea that has strong lore backing in Roman, Greek, and I think Vedic cultures as well. [20:24] i believe so [20:25] [Owlhawk] Yes, Vedic as well. Across IE as a whole, as I remember his presentation. [20:26] 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 [20:26] *** Kalisha (Mibbit@sorcery-gbkk7t.dynamic.tds.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:29] So...I'm apparently rude. Apologies Rovena, and hello! How was your Equinnox? [20:30] Not rude. Hard to keep track of everyone in chat. [20:30] Grove will have our ritual on Saturday [20:30] :) I think the nearest grove to me is hosting their this Saturday as well. [20:31] 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] Understandable. [20:33] It's definitely different with smaller groves that are more reliant on a few people. [20:33] My daughter and I did something very informal together on Sunday. [20:34] Informal can be fun. [20:34] Informal is fine. [20:34] Small groups do have their own special challenges [20:35] And actually, my fairly formal rite was honoring Dionysos, so it certainly had its share of silliness. [20:36] Nothing wrong with silliness [20:36] That does sound like fun, Thexalon. Laughter is amazing magic. [20:36] [Owlhawk] almost required some days with Dionyusus. IO DIonysus! [20:36] Every time we honor the Nature Spirits as the DoD it gets silly [20:37] DoD? [20:37] Deity of the Day. [20:38] You must have some of the sillier nature spirits around then. [20:38] In the COoR you have someone or group as the special guest of honor [20:38] Louisiana can produce some characters both human and spirit [20:39] Thank you for clarifying. I am still learning...pretty much everything. [20:40] 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] True enough. [20:41] There's no shame in not knowing. [20:41] The shame is in not asking the question [20:41] *** mirage358 (Mibbit@sorcery-bof2u3.in.comcast.net) has joined #ADF [20:41] *** mirage358 (Mibbit@sorcery-bof2u3.in.comcast.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:43] But I have to admit, I'm used to the term "Deity of the Occasion", not "Deity of the Day". [20:44] Not sure where I saw it. [20:45] I'll be back shortly. :) [20:54] 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] I feel your pain. Not with my grove, but another non-profit I've been working on starting. [20:58] 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] At least it is not just a pain in Louisiana.

[21:02] *** Starwolf (Mibbit@sorcery-057kee.res.rr.com) has joined #ADF [21:02] Hello! Well, thank you. [21:03] Hello Starwolf [21:03] What's new tonight? [21:03] hi :) [21:03] Everything and nothing [21:03] hows everyone doing tonight? [21:04] Trying to stay cool. Got warm today. [21:04] I'm shivering so chilly [21:05] Wish I could send you some of our heat [21:05] And kittens to Owlhawk [21:05] please on the heat just no more kitties right now we have three already lol [21:06] With enough kitties, it might get warmer. [21:06] 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] 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] five in our area will get them all taken away. I've been learning about obstetrics all day [21:08] I'm trying to find an office to get stuck in all day. ;) [21:08] five cats sorry [21:08] Preganant cats seem to love our house. [21:08] Good luck with that finding an office [21:08] in our area they do have a group that goes around collecting strays and getting them fixed [21:08] Hubby is building me one [21:09] To be honest, though, today's application was for freelance writing from home. (thank you, still) [21:09] Workiong from home sounds like fun. [21:10] I suppose homemade means that you always get the corner office, if you want. [21:11] And it has an ideal commute [21:12] Exactly. [21:12] love that commute during the bad weather lol [21:15] [Owlhawk] I don't know....I get paid for snow days.... [21:15] They "warned" to expect a constant stream of writing assignments on deadlines. Sounds terrible! [21:16] 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] You are lucky, Owlhawk. [21:17] I was at work several times when we lost electricity and we had to stay on duty. [21:17] 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] 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] 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] well have a great night I'm off just wanted to say hi :) [21:27] *** Starwolf (Mibbit@sorcery-057kee.res.rr.com) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [21:30] Anyone not on the ADF Facebook page? There was a notice about some trouble Phaedra Bonewits is having and help needed. [21:31] 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] I am facebook friends with Phaedra so I know that she did have the car accident and is moving into senior housing. [21:33] There's another post below it where Phaedra comments, also. [21:33] Rovena is correct about that. It seems legit. [21:34] [Owlhawk] I only saw the one post. I'm naturally suspicious [21:35] In this day and age, suspicious is the name of the game. [21:42] All right, friends, I'm stepping out as well. Have a good evening; Happy Spring!
