Was the topic posted? I missed it in that case.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Hi, Denis.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Yes. But I have no idea what it means.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Wold you mind using boldface? I have trouble reading that light font.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Is this better?<\/p>\n Paradis402: Hi Ginny, Hi DennE.. the topic is fluid I think.<\/p>\n SAcademy: A lot, thanks.<\/p>\n DennnEditor:<\/p>\n ddavitt has entered the room.<\/p>\n SAcademy: What fluid? Alcohol?<\/p>\n ddavitt: Hi everyone.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Hello, Jane.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Is that you twice Denis?<\/p>\n Paradis402: No it has to do with changes in reading books, evolution of eBooks, tapes and so on.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: *sigh*<\/p>\n ddavitt: oops, sorry Bill; thought it might have been a log alter ego as Dave Wright does.<\/p>\n SAcademy: We have a Denis P. and a B. Dennis. Confusing.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Isn’t it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I just couldn’t get AOL to give me a screen name with “Bill” and “Dennis” in it.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Jane have you seen those smileys that move?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Although I could have used my old “Libertarian Bill” screen name.<\/p>\n ddavitt: I know; I keep getting stopped by the fact that I signed onto things years ago and now have a new email. It keeps saying my name is taken; it is – by me.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: … but I’m not confortable with that.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Not yet Ginny; any luck with them?<\/p>\n Paradis402: Not confusing is it Bill? You have one more than I do. And probably nicer too.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: probably<\/p>\n SAcademy: Downloaded them, but can’t get them into a useful condition yet.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Shame.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Sound like fun<\/p>\n DennnEditor: animated smilies? LOL<\/p>\n ddavitt: brb; have to get food out of the oven.<\/p>\n SAcademy: It really is. Thought I’d surprise people with them<\/p>\n Paradis402: AOL says on their welcome page you can send somebody a thumping heart for Valentines. Give me a break!<\/p>\n SAcademy: You mean you won’t send me one?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Which is one reason I am not using AOL. Besides the fact that my ISP lets me use high speed cable modem.<\/p>\n Paradis402: Of course! Both of them.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Hold out for roses Ginny; less gruesome.<\/p>\n Paradis402: She prefers orchids. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n DennnEditor: reminds me of “The Telltale Heart” ….<\/p>\n Paradis402: Poe? Right.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: (is that the correct title? I last read it in grade school)<\/p>\n SAcademy: Actually green orchids<\/p>\n ddavitt: I got an orchid from David once valentine’s; a live one in a pot about 2 foot tall that his friend had grown form seed or whatever they grow from<\/p>\n Paradis402: Did you ever grow those? The green ones, Ginny.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Anyone ever notice how the theme from “Jaws” is like a beating heart?<\/p>\n Paradis402: Yes.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Yes, I have a plant now. Got it for Christmas. Cymbidiumx<\/p>\n ddavitt: Flowered several times but we had to leave it behind Phallinopsis (sp?)<\/p>\n SAcademy: Scratch that x should be an s.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: People who hate plants send them to me. I kill them all.<\/p>\n Paradis402: Ginny is also our plant expert.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Phalaenopsis.<\/p>\n ddavitt: I have none now; as Ginny knows my cats and lauren kept eating ’em and turned out they were poisonous so I got rid of them<\/p>\n KultsiKN has entered the room.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Hello!<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Hello, everybody!<\/p>\n ddavitt: That sounds right Ginny, thanks.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Hi Kultsi<\/p>\n Paradis402: Hi Kultsi!<\/p>\n SAcademy: Hi Kultsi. Greetings.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I am going to have to set up a profile so eveyrone will know who I am …<\/p>\n DennnEditor:<\/p>\n ddavitt: Good news; Robert Crais will be a guest<\/p>\n ddavitt: Possibly the next chat<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Oh, good. The name is familiar, but I can’t recall what he has written<\/p>\n ddavitt: Any of you read him? I enjoyed his books a lot<\/p>\n SAcademy: Has Spider been scheduled yet?<\/p>\n Paradis402: Oh Jane. You and your hunks!<\/p>\n ddavitt: P.I stuff with a detective called Elvis Cole<\/p>\n ddavitt: He is cute:-)<\/p>\n DennnEditor:P. White write some more Sherlock Holmes stories?<\/p>\n ddavitt: Where did you finsih on Thursday after I left?<\/p>\n Paradis402: We were on Mars.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: In one, he had a poisonous snake crawling down a rope. That can’t do that apparently.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Lots of people have Ginny…don’t know about AP<\/p>\n SAcademy: I think under the name of H. H. Holmes.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Oh..but wasnt that a murderer’s name?<\/p>\n SAcademy: He had several pseudonyms going.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Rocket to the Morgue may have been under that name originally<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Nicholas Meyer wrote a couple … 7 percent solution and another one, I believe<\/p>\n ddavitt: It is a huge genre<\/p>\n ddavitt: I like the ones about Irene Adler<\/p>\n ddavitt: And of course, the laurie King ones<\/p>\n ddavitt: Beekeeper’s Apprentice and the sequels<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Phil Farmer wrote on that had Holmes and Watson meeting young Tarzan.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Conan Doyle would have been intrigued<\/p>\n Paradis402: That must have been a stretch for Tarzan!<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Of course, PJFarmer started whole sub-genre in which Tarzam, Holmes and other pulp heres are all related<\/p>\n ddavitt: And there are the Jane Austen myseteries; with her solving crimes.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Did anyone start a log?<\/p>\n ddavitt: I can save it all from where I came in<\/p>\n ddavitt: Dave Wright won’t be here<\/p>\n ddavitt: So he asked if we could send it to him<\/p>\n Paradis402: I have it in HTML format from the start.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I don’t think anything all THAT important has been said.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Did it work OK on Thursday Denis?<\/p>\n SAcademy: I think Bill is relaxing he had an eye exam this morning, and can’t see probably.<\/p>\n ddavitt: No, and I can’t stay for the whole time so let’s start then<\/p>\n Paradis402: I sent it to him. But no reply yet. It worked the last time I sent it that way.<\/p>\n ddavitt: If he had those drops, no probably can’t<\/p>\n ddavitt: OK, we were looking at Heinlein books in the future and the past; different ways of presenting them and which work best<\/p>\n SAcademy: He expected to have those drops.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Speaking of chatroom logs, I listened in on a World Church of the Creator chat room on Thursday. This is that racist group that is growing in popularity.<\/p>\n ddavitt: I grudgingly was persuaded that e-books are handy on space flights to save weight<\/p>\n Paradis402: How did all that go?<\/p>\n SAcademy: Ever attend a Holy Rollers meeting?<\/p>\n ddavitt: We had a Watchtower seller round today…<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Yes! My grandfather was a Holy Roller minister.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I was a little kid and it scared the Hell out of me.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Really?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: He just did it to raise money. He also was a moonshiner<\/p>\n SAcademy: Great combination.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: He got out of both rackets and went to work elsewhere.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Water into wine…<\/p>\n SAcademy: Didn’t the moonshine pay well?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: He thought it was dishonest. The preaching, that is.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Obviously no conflict of interests<\/p>\n Paradis402: Did you want to see if that Church was another version of Scientology, Bill?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Well, it paid well, but he faced competition from folks who do not tolerate competition, if you catch my drift.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: World Church of the Creator?<\/p>\n Paradis402: Yes.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: No, not scientologists. It is a white supremacist organization<\/p>\n Paradis402: Ooo>:o<\/p>\n DennnEditor: It is based in East Peoria, very close to where I live in Peoria.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Robert knew L. Ron Hubbard.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: My paper is stepping up coverage of them<\/p>\n ddavitt: Why? isn’t that giving them publicity?<\/p>\n SAcademy: He was always going to borrow an airplane and come to see us, but he never made it.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: They get publicity anyway.<\/p>\n Paradis402: They impounded it, Ginny.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Believe me, it is a myth that media ignoring these people make them go away.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: It is wishful thinking.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Isn’t it hard to write about them objectively?<\/p>\n SAcademy: Well, I never met him. He was a really colorful character.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: “Objective,” in newspapering doesn’t mean “don’t have an opinion.”<\/p>\n ddavitt: We have a current story; local woman charged with assault for breaking up a same sex wedding and haranguing the congregation.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: It means sticking to known facts and giving all a change to comment.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: a chance to comment, I mean<\/p>\n ddavitt: Paper is doing a fair job of printing views from both side but obvious that they are against her.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: … and there are papers in which it would be obvious they are FOR her.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: It depends on publication and reporter.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: … a good editor would weed that out.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Canadians are pretty tolerant about people making up their own minds<\/p>\n ddavitt: Someone spoiling a wedding wouldn’t get much sympathy<\/p>\n DennnEditor: nope.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Anyway…<\/p>\n DennnEditor: remember that minister who picketed the funeral of that gay hate crime victim?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Even Jerry Falwall had to distance himself<\/p>\n ddavitt: No, sounds awful thing to do tho<\/p>\n ddavitt: Even jerry huh?<\/p>\n DennnEditor:<\/p>\n DennnEditor: real books<\/p>\n Paradis402: I still buy only books. Falwell and Swaggart and Panshin in a boat.<\/p>\n ddavitt: This is a good chance to read it without it costing me anything<\/p>\n SAcademy: Well, Bill unearthed a letter from Robert to L. S. deCamp and it tells the real facts about Panshin and HID<\/p>\n DennnEditor: really? LOL<\/p>\n DennnEditor: What does it say?<\/p>\n ddavitt: Is that what Jim G meant when he told Panshin he was going to expose him?<\/p>\n SAcademy: I gave permission to put it online. Gidfford is going to do that.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Ah, must have been.<\/p>\n Paradis402: We will have to wait until Bill publishes that Biog.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: This is going to be fun.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Ginny, do you think Mr Heinlein would have used the new tech and let his books be published for palm Pilots and such?<\/p>\n SAcademy: It sure will be for our side.<\/p>\n ddavitt: You were both into computers from the start after all.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I tried … I mean really tried … to read Panshin’s site. But it is all so ephemeral. He writes like a college English teacher trying to impress his doctoral committee. It sounds authorative, but it never gets to a point that can<\/p>\n SAcademy: Is that something you want?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: be proved or disproved<\/p>\n DennnEditor: authoratative<\/p>\n ddavitt: I don’t but I think as Sf writer maybe it would have been logical. Still printed as a book but also downloadable<\/p>\n DennnEditor: d’oh<\/p>\n SAcademy: There are now two books with one online publisher, and one with Stealth. That’s a print volume and a very tpretty one<\/p>\n ddavitt: Is it selling better from print or online?<\/p>\n Paradis402: I don’t want eBooks, soft books or a computer screen on the ceiling of my bedroom. And NO Panshin for me.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Haven’t had royalty reports yet.<\/p>\n ddavitt: I don’t want to be a Luddite..but I love books and the older the better<\/p>\n ddavitt: Though a new book is very nice too; being the first to read it is a special feeling<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Theoretically, publishiing online for a fee is a way to bypass book publishers, who act as middle men. More of sales go to the writer.<\/p>\n Paradis402: Really?<\/p>\n ddavitt: But wondering who else read one that’s over a hundred years old is fascinating<\/p>\n KultsiKN: I do a lot of reading on computer, but I don’t really like it.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Books will continue to be around, Jane.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: But I suspect that publishes play a more important role in promoting a book than most people realize<\/p>\n ddavitt: It should be cheaper I suppose as less overheads<\/p>\n ddavitt: And it does save paper<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I also love the smell and feel of books.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Jane, paper is a renewable resource<\/p>\n ddavitt: Which, as I keep telling Eleanor, doesn’t grow on trees<\/p>\n DennnEditor: boo<\/p>\n SAcademy: Remember, Neil’s Pulpless books failed.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Only if people repalnt<\/p>\n ddavitt: replant<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I hate bad puns that I didn’t use first<\/p>\n ddavitt: Was he ahead of his time?<\/p>\n ddavitt: Need more people with the ability to download to portable readers<\/p>\n DennnEditor: If I didn’t have to go to bookstores, I would never leave the house<\/p>\n ddavitt: You just can’t read on a static computer all the time.<\/p>\n ddavitt: That’s why i couldn’t watch a DVD on a computer<\/p>\n DennnEditor: … and besides, I love sipping overpriced coffee and eating muffins at the B&N.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Want a comfy sofa, company, not squahed up against the screen<\/p>\n ddavitt: My spelling is wild tonight<\/p>\n ddavitt: I meant squashed<\/p>\n SAcademy: The scroll on this machine jams every so often.<\/p>\n ddavitt: I want to get locked in a book store…one with a coffee shop in it and those nice chairs<\/p>\n Paradis402: Kultsi, do you like eBooks?<\/p>\n SAcademy: Heinlein books anyway.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Never tried, but as I said I read a _lot_ on PC.<\/p>\n SAcademy: AD.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: And don’t like it very much.<\/p>\n DennnEditor:<\/p>\n ddavitt: Someone said it’s harder to process the words on a screen?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: It depends on the contrast\/layout\/other distractions.<\/p>\n ddavitt: It just wouldn’t feel as if I owned it if it was a file on my computer instead of a volume on my shelves<\/p>\n KultsiKN: I think there is something to that. I utterly dislike the man pages on *nix systems.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Where is the aesthetic pleasure?<\/p>\n ddavitt: Suppose your computer crashed?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Right. every book I buy and read is placed on a shelf for visitors to see. It shows how well-read I am.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Correct Jane.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I lost HUNDREDS of books in a flood.<\/p>\n ddavitt: The library is the first room as you come in. people stop and say, “oh, what a lot of books. Have you read them all?”<\/p>\n DennnEditor: most of my PJFarmer, ERBurroughs.<\/p>\n ddavitt: I am running out of polite replies<\/p>\n ddavitt: That is a tragedy<\/p>\n ddavitt: I dread that or a fire<\/p>\n SAcademy: We gave away aabout 10,000 books when we left Bonny Doon.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Let me know if you have a wants list and I’ll keep an eye out for you<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I could never give away books. I am always rereading them<\/p>\n ddavitt: Fiction or non fiction Ginny?<\/p>\n Paradis402: I’ve put 10 tons of my scientific stuff on Disk but I like my Heinlein to be real and in my hands.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Both Jane.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Non fiction is good online because it is searchable which would be handy<\/p>\n ddavitt: That must have hurt…<\/p>\n DennnEditor: No wants list. I just haunt Peoria’s six or seven used book stores.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Well, if you ever get down to one you can’t find let me know<\/p>\n DennnEditor: It gets worse … I lost all my *comic books* …<\/p>\n SAcademy: An encyclopedia of Magic, and my treasured book f Scandinavian design.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Try the charity shops; I get lots from there<\/p>\n ddavitt: Like in NOTB…<\/p>\n ddavitt: Just no room for hem Ginny?<\/p>\n ddavitt: them<\/p>\n SAcademy: I can’t read anymore so it shouldn’t matter.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: charity shops usually have only Old readers Digest condensed fiction.<\/p>\n ddavitt: You can still hold them<\/p>\n SAcademy: That’s right.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Heh…you have a poor class of thrift shops then<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Books also make great soundproofing when up an a bookshelf.<\/p>\n ddavitt: I got a first edition Elsie Oxenham once…<\/p>\n ddavitt: What a find.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Who is she?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: … of Peorians tend to snap up all the good books. (This must be true because I can rarely find Heinlein stuff … \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n ddavitt: (very collectable childrens author)<\/p>\n ddavitt: Wrote in 1920’s 30’s<\/p>\n DennnEditor: “or Peorians tend … ”<\/p>\n DennnEditor: silly typos<\/p>\n ddavitt: Lots of camp fire books, school stories. Most famous were the Abbey Girls stories<\/p>\n SAcademy: What was it Peanuts said “silly jumpropes?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I once found a dollar bill in a used book … it was being used as a bookmark, apparently.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Probably Mrs. H.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Showed proper respect for the book<\/p>\n ddavitt: My bugbear is people writing in them<\/p>\n DennnEditor: It showed that it pays to read.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Once, they wrote (in ink) ‘This is the murderer!!” next to a name of a character.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: grrrr<\/p>\n Paradis402: \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n SAcademy: You must have encountered some uninteresting marginal notes!<\/p>\n DennnEditor: … a case for justifiable homicide, IMHO<\/p>\n ddavitt: And the people who take it upon themselves to correct grammar ( invairiably wrong themselves) should be sent somewhere…special.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Critics’ lounge?<\/p>\n ddavitt: That’ll do nicely:-)<\/p>\n SAcademy: Guess I’m exempt–I majored in chemistry.<\/p>\n ddavitt: You’re safe then<\/p>\n SAcademy: Thank you.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Well, I can’t think of more to say on the topic<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Used books are great when you want a complete collection and a book is out of print.<\/p>\n ddavitt: So I may go and eat<\/p>\n ddavitt: Yes; and now I can see all the ones online that I can’t afford to buy<\/p>\n ddavitt: But one day…<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I am still looking for a copy of “Rocketship Galileo (sp?)<\/p>\n ddavitt: I have got some that I never thought I would ever own<\/p>\n DennnEditor: copy<\/p>\n ddavitt: First ed?<\/p>\n Paradis402: OT, Jane do you want me to send you an e-copy of the log too?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: no, no. paperback would be fine.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I found “Space Cadet” several months ago … which I had never read before.<\/p>\n ddavitt: No, I’ll read it on Dave’s page, no need to bother. Thanks anyway.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Have you tried eBaY?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: It was great! New Heinlein mamerial!<\/p>\n ddavitt: Oh well I’ll watch out for it<\/p>\n ddavitt: Or the Heinlein bookswap page; is that still going?<\/p>\n ddavitt: Don ran that<\/p>\n Paradis402: What is mammerial. Freudian?<\/p>\n SAcademy: You just want a reading copy?<\/p>\n ddavitt: But he hasn’t been around for months<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I think I have. I may give it a try. I still haven’t given up on finding it used, though.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: God, I am soooo cheap.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Is it on Amazon? Is it in print?<\/p>\n DennnEditor: Well, I want one what will look OK on my shelf. I’ll probably breat down and order a copy somewhere.<\/p>\n ddavitt: If so, they list used copies too<\/p>\n DennnEditor: break<\/p>\n ddavitt: And the prices<\/p>\n ddavitt: david is saying it’s time to eat so I will vanish; see you all soon.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I find the idea of fighting Nazis on the Moon to be priceless.<\/p>\n ddavitt: Hope you can make it for the Crais chat<\/p>\n ddavitt: Night.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I am going to leave too.<\/p>\n ddavitt has left the room.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Bye Jane<\/p>\n DennnEditor: I’ll stop back in later see if anyone else has come in.<\/p>\n DennnEditor: talk to you all at a later date.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Bye now.<\/p>\n Paradis402: What’s up, Kultsi?<\/p>\n DennnEditor has left the room.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Good that people leave when they say they will. I hate people who stand in the doorway talking.<\/p>\n Paradis402: I agree.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Nothing special, really — trying to survive the winter \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n SAcademy: Snowy always tries to escape.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Is it a bad winter, Kultsi?<\/p>\n Paradis402: He is a snow Cat.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Going up and down like a yo-yo, not very nice.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: One day rain, next day snow with wind.<\/p>\n SAcademy: A lot of snow?<\/p>\n SAcademy: Buffalo really got it this year!<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Very little here; more ice.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Several feet of snow!<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Our weather is mostly — moderate.<\/p>\n SAcademy: That might be good for skating, but I was a hothouse flower.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Liked indoor ice.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Funny, I would have thought it would be a continental climate. More like Buffalo.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Helsinki is pretty far north.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: More to the East it is.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: I mean like Moscow.<\/p>\n SAcademy: I see, the water nearby tempers the weather.<\/p>\n Paradis402: Like Vancouver?<\/p>\n SAcademy: Moscow must be horrid in winter!<\/p>\n SAcademy: The San Juan Islands.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Is there a time when it isn’t?<\/p>\n SAcademy: No, you’re right about that. Ever go there?<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Just passing through once.<\/p>\n SAcademy: The San Juans are what they call a “banana belt”<\/p>\n Paradis402: Where are they, Ginny?<\/p>\n SAcademy: We nearly froze on May Day.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Straits of Juan de Fuca.<\/p>\n Paradis402: :'(<\/p>\n SAcademy: The Canadian and American islands between the mainland and Vancouver.<\/p>\n Paradis402: Thanks. I’m going brain dead or Alzie.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Alzheimers is no laughing mattteer.<\/p>\n Paradis402: So Spider switched oceans.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Oh, that’s no biggie; once diagnosed you can go home and forget all about it…<\/p>\n SAcademy: Yes, he did. Nova Scotia is far worse in climate!<\/p>\n Paradis402: Yes\/ I just need more RAM Kultsi. Maybe more Disk space.<\/p>\n SAcademy: What about the manic phases, Kultsi?<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Well, actually, they are not nice at all, the diseases, that is.<\/p>\n SAcademy: A friend of mine just found out his mother had it. She was manic for days.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: It’s a terrible strain on all close by, just to watch someone fading away.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Yes. I see it all the time here.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Fon’t let anyone ever tell you that a “retirement community” is a good place to live.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Don’t<\/p>\n SAcademy: It’s very depressing to see.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: I can imagine.<\/p>\n SAcademy: I wish I had thought of that before I came here.<\/p>\n SAcademy: It’s only my friends outside who keep my spirits up.<\/p>\n SAcademy: That and work.<\/p>\n Paradis402: Ginny, it’s everywhere. You have to focus on the beautiful like your little white lion.<\/p>\n SAcademy: He’s part of my young friends outside!<\/p>\n Paradis402: Indeed. He is.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Thank you Denis. I guess it’s time I quit for the day.<\/p>\n Paradis402: I guess no one else will show. Maybe we should close and send the log to David.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Yeah, me too! Must wake up early.<\/p>\n Paradis402: Nice talking to you Kultsi.<\/p>\n SAcademy: What time is it there Kultsi?<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Nice talking to you, too!<\/p>\n KultsiKN: Quarter past one, AM.<\/p>\n SAcademy: Ouch. Get some sleep!<\/p>\n SAcademy: Bye all.<\/p>\n SAcademy has left the room.<\/p>\n Paradis402: Bye Ginny.<\/p>\n KultsiKN: I’ll do.
