Host ChanBot whispers to RevNoel:
Welcome to the UCRS OpenAtTheTop chat room!

RevNoel says:
Hi there

RuthW has joined the conversation.

RuthW says:
Hi Noel, just checking tomake sure I was in. Had some "winsock" problems earlier.

RevNoel says:
Hi therethere

RuthW says:
Will check out now....maybe see you later.

RevNoel says:
O.K.

RevNoel says:
O.K.

RuthW says:
Good to see you. Don't know what that winsock business was -- it occurred this morning,too. But now seems OK. Later.....byes for now.

RevNoel says:
I have a lag problem at the momenbt.

RuthW has left the conversation.

RevNoel says:
We all have our challenges!!!

Lyda has joined the conversation.

RevNoel says:
Hi there!!

RevNoel says:
Knew we could count on you.

RuthW has joined the conversation.

RevNoel says:
And heeeeeer's . . . Dr. Ruth!!!

RuthW says:
Hi, Noel and Lyda! Good to see you.

Lyda says:
I'm trying to read a whisper, but it's too faint red!

RuthW says:
I'll try a whisper

RevNoel says:
I haven't whispered

RuthW says:
did it work, Noel?

Lyda says:
Aloha All, Is this the first resuming session??

RuthW says:
Yes, it is, lyda

RevNoel whispers to RuthW:
No

RuthW says:
Well, that's not so hot, Noel. So, if I need to speak privately, I double click the name?

Lyda says:
Ah, good, I've missed you all, but I am delighted to see that the Foundational Class will be offered on the Internet!!

RevNoel says:
The new server went active yesterday afternoon . . . with plenty of time to spare.

RevNoel says:
On my software I only highlight the name, then the whisper icon.

RuthW says:
Great stuff happening, for sure! Thanks to Noel, especially.

RevNoel whispers to RuthW:
Time you got Microsoft Chat 2.5!!!

RuthW says:
Well, that's what I tried and i tho't you said it didn't work.

RuthW says:
Now is this in whisper??

RevNoel says:
No it's not in whisper

Nan has joined the conversation.

RuthW says:
Wellm drat. With the former "stuff" I could whisper, ring bells, etc.

Lyda says:
Who is ChanBot? 

RuthW says:
Hi, Nan!

Nan says:
Hi everyone!

RevNoel says:
Hi Nan!!

Lyda says:
ChanBot, sorry I can't read the whisper!

RevNoel says:
Ruth, you may have discovered a bug in our system . . . or perhaps there's a new way of doiung it in the upograded chat room.

Lyda says:
Shall I try whispering?

RevNoel says:
Sure, Lyda

Lyda whispers to RevNoel:
Noel, can you get this whisper?

RuthW says:
with the current arrangement, Noel, there are no bells, etc. And obviously I can't whisper. Now that's a real problem!! <G>

RevNoel says:
I got Lyda's whisper.

RuthW says:
Yeah, Lyda, try it.

RuthW says:
I didn't, then. FRUSTRATING!

RevNoel says:
Time you got Microsoft Chat 2.5, Ruth . . .

Lyda says:
Ruth, did you get my whisper?

RevNoel says:
It's a free download, sets up in minutes.  Plays Betthoiven's fifth . . .

RevNoel (Beethoven's 5th Symphony.rmi)

Nan whispers to RevNoel:
!DCCSEND @Symphony.rmi

RuthW says:
Maybe so, Noel, but before the change, I had no problem whispering, using sounds, etc. so what did you change???

Lyda says:
I just told RW I'm listening to Rachmaninoff!!

RevNoel says:
We upgraded to the latest version of the server.

Lyda says:
Did you get my whisper, RW?

RuthW says:
Lyda, I don't know. Orignally, a whisper was different color, now I don't know.

RuthW says:
I went to "Help", but nothing about whispering.

RevNoel says:
We'll find out what's not working and fix it . . . or what's working differently, and communjc ate it.

RuthW says:
Well, so much for the silent stuff! <G>

RevNoel (Beethoven's Fur Elise.rmi)

Nan says:
howdy !!! 4 Everyone :O)

Nan whispers to RevNoel:
!DCCSEND @Elise.rmi

RuthW says:
Hi, Nan, My word, what fancy stuff you're using! <G>

Lyda says:
Oh Boy, Nan's in code again!!!

RevNoel says:
Technicolor, no less!!!

Nan says:
I don't normally use this stuff in these chats but wondered if it worked.  It does!

Lyda says:
What is H12?

RuthW says:
Oh, Noel, one more question. If I use Microsoft chat 2.5, will it work with CompuServe? My itnorance is VAST!!!

RevNoel says:
Not as vast as CompuServ's!!!

RuthW says:
Itnorance? No, Ruth IGNORANCE!!!

RuthW says:
hehehe

Lyda says:
RW, AOL bought Compuserve, so that ought to help things?

RevNoel says:
Yes, it SHOULD (!?) wprk with CompuServe.

RevNoel says:
It helped AOL's botoom line.

RuthW says:
Lyda, HARDLY. I had NO trouble with CompuServe -- used it for years -- UNTIL AOL bought it.

RuthW says:
OK, Noel, I'll get it.

RevNoel says:
CompuServe went to AOL!!!

RevNoel says:
In a handbasket.

Lyda says:
Noel, this week at AARP I've been using windows 97 and 98! No difference to me!

RuthW says:
You are RIGHT, Noel.

RuthW says:
And now I guess AOL bought ICQ. SAD SIGH!

RuthW says:
Nan, how was your day?

RevNoel says:
ICQ has been having problems lately also.

Nan says:
About average.  Went for the echocardiogram and will find out the results  week from Friday.

RuthW says:
Noel - yes. And I'm very suspicious it is the AOL blight!

RevNoel says:
Or bloat!!

Nan says:
ICQ has been messing up quite badly lately.

Lyda says:
What is ICO?

RevNoel says:
Q, not O, Lyda.

RevNoel says:
It's an IMS.

RevNoel says:
Sorry, couldn;t resist . . .

Lyda says:
OK, Smarty, What's INS?

RuthW says:
Lyda, it's a wonderful site to behold! <G> One can send e-mails, chat, etc. without cost.

RevNoel says:
M, not N . . .

RuthW says:
hehehe

RuthW says:
I think the URL is "miribilis.com". Is that right, Nan or Noel?

RevNoel says:
INS = Immigration and Naturalization Service.  IMS = Instant Messaging System

Nan says:
I don't think it will be free for much longer though.

RevNoel says:
That's right.

RuthW says:
I'm afraid you're right, nan.

Lyda says:
Can you put up with all the advertising. I'll stick with IBM, or maybe even AT&T. Soon it will all be on one server, long distance email, etc.

Nan says:
Mirabilis

RevNoel says:
mirabilis.com (notice spelling)

RuthW says:
OH, I missed the "a". Thanks.

RuthW says:
I just checked ICQ to see if Linda was around. She isn't. Tho't she'd be here tonight.

Nan says:
said she was going to be... something must have come up.

RevNoel says:
It says you're on, Ruth . . . but NA

RuthW says:
Yes, I did that after I checked for Linda.

Lyda says:
Noel & RW, did you read my line about Foundation Class on Internet?

RevNoel says:
Yes, Lyda.  There's a even a banner for it at www.religiousscience.org .

RevNoel says:
We put it up yesterday.

RuthW says:
Yes, Lyda.

Lyda says:
That's where I saw it!!

RuthW says:
Now that's different than Susanne's class...right?

RevNoel says:
The banner with be on the wmop and som sites as well.

RuthW says:
Who is teaching it, Noel?

Lyda says:
RW, tomorrow is Beach Lady-D's B/Day!

RevNoel says:
Oh yes.  It's the UCRS Foundational Class, taught by Christina Tillotson, RscP

RuthW says:
Noel - thanks.

RuthW says:
Lyda, THANKS for telling me. I'll e-mail her a card. I appreciate that!!!

RuthW says:
Noel, Beach Lady-D is Dorothee Johnson. You know her, I'm sure.

RevNoel says:
If all goes well, she will beging the treatment and meditation class online in January - also known as "Spiritual Practices".

RuthW says:
That's so exciting!

RevNoel says:
Yes, I know her.  Though not by that name . . .

RuthW says:
Even if I don't like the Foundation curriculum......couldn't whisper that, but decided I'd just put it out there!

RevNoel says:
Maureen Christopher has seven students in the current parent-training class, which is also certified, though not by UCRS.

Lyda says:
Incidentally, Guys, I have been listening to OPRAH lately, and she is teaching our philosophy FIRST CLASS and is good friend of Marianne W's!!!

RuthW says:
Noel - I didn't know her by the Beach Lady either.

RuthW says:
Carrie Masters, my sec. and recent ministerial grad, just left an e-mail about Oprah's show.

RevNoel says:
I got Carrie's message also.

RuthW says:
Lyda, did you know that Sandy Scott is now working at Marianne's church?

RevNoel says:
And one from Wanda Haynes concerning Oprah as well.

Nan says:
I normally don't watch TV but will tune in on Wed. for her show.

Linda has joined the conversation.

Lyda says:
She had Suze Orman on, and sounds very much like Jonathan Robinson (Asilomar next).

RuthW says:
Yeah.....on both of them. Well, it's out there, but I'd certainly like to get some credit, too! <G>

Nan says:
Ah, there she is!

RevNoel says:
Hi Linda!!

RuthW says:
Hi, Linda!!

Linda says:
Hello Everyone!!!!!!1

Lyda says:
Aloha, Ky. Gal!

Linda says:
Hello, Lyda <G>.

Linda says:
Are we lagging, or is no one saying anything?

Lyda says:
Of course, I talked with SS a lot about it! Another connection!

Lyda says:
We have a lot to catch up on, Linda!!

RuthW says:
Linda - maybe we're being in the silence! <GGG> Just lagging, I think.

RevNoel says:
It's been pretty perky so far.

Linda says:
O i c.

RuthW says:
LInda, you hit us at "lull-time" <G>

RevNoel says:
I think it was your dramtic entry, Linda  <g>

RuthW says:
hehehe

Linda says:
Ah, dramatic me <G>.

Lyda says:
ChanBot, are you still here???

Linda says:
My have been my "glad to get here" mode <G>

RevNoel says:
ChanBot is always with us.

Linda says:
My=must

Lyda says:
Thanks

RuthW says:
Lyda, I checked "Help" and "chanbot" is not an entity. It's just THERE! <G>

RevNoel says:
ChanBot is the program that keeps the chat room working.

RevNoel says:
Also known as Microsoft God 2.5

RuthW says:
Well, I need a word with "ChanBot" -- where did it put my noisemakers and whisper? <GGGG>

RuthW says:
Noel - hehehehe

Linda says:
Do we bow to the Microsoft God?

RevNoel says:
Yes, at the Pearly Gates.

Linda says:
I'll keep that in mind <LOL>.

RuthW says:
Oh, Noel........Did you really have to say that? [well, of course you did!]

RevNoel says:
I have low resistance to such things . . .

RuthW says:
I've observed that.

INSIDOT has joined the conversation.

INSIDOT has left the conversation.

INSIDOT has joined the conversation.

RevNoel says:
Hi, Veronica!!

Nan says:
I've enjoyed that!

INSIDOT says:
Made it!!

RevNoel whispers to INSIDOT:
Whoops, gave you away

RuthW says:
OK, Linda. Keep me posted.

INSIDOT says:
Hello, Noel, Nan

RuthW says:
Welcome, INSIDOT> I'm assuming that's Veronica?

RevNoel says:
Well , now that I've given her away . . .

INSIDOT says:
yes?

Lyda says:
Explain Veronica.

RevNoel says:
Meet Veronica, mentor of the ministerial students' listserv.

Linda says:
Hello Veronica.

INSIDOT says:
Hello, Lyda

RuthW says:
Linda, I'm not sure. Is this a whisper?

Linda says:
Hey, where's Nan?

Nan says:
Hi Veronica!

RevNoel says:
And about to begin hosting Minister2B chat conferences.

RuthW says:
There's Nan.

Lyda says:
Thenn many, many thanks to INSIDOT!!

Linda says:
I see her name but she's not saying anything.

RuthW says:
When  I get your "whisper", Linda, there are two <<  >> around your name. Perhaps that indicates a whisper>

RevNoel says:
She's being Nan-commital just now . . .

Nan says:
Just kinda quiet tonight so far.

INSIDOT says:
Lyda?  i hope you'll join us.......are you a minister2B??0.

INSIDOT says:
is there a topic?

Lyda says:
Oh Noel, that was fast!!!!

RuthW says:
No, no topic. I just wait for questions OR I put out a quotation for consideration.

Lyda says:
No, Veronica, I'm a (retired) RScP.

RevNoel says:
The topic is whatever question(s) we have for Dr. Ruth.

RuthW says:
Trying whisper again. Is my name surrounded by the following <<  >>?

RevNoel says:
Veronica's is one of several new specialized chat rooms starting up.

INSIDOT says:
oh....then perhaps, you'll be the star of one of our chats??

Lyda says:
I want you all to know I'm especially enjoying the Introduction to SOM text 1926

RuthW says:
Veronica...I?

INSIDOT says:
yes, Dr Ruth??

RuthW says:
Yes, if I can help, I'd love to.

RevNoel says:
Great idea.  The more we show up in one another's chat rooms, the better.

RuthW says:
when is your chat, Veronica?

RevNoel says:
Unless, of course, we all show up in each one.

INSIDOT says:
I'll e-mail you with a proposal........

RuthW says:
OK, V, that's fine with me.

Nan says:
Are these on the updated chat schedule, Noel?

RuthW says:
Noel - smled

RuthW says:
smile.

RevNoel says:
I'm glad you translated that, Ruth.

RuthW says:
Veronica, my e-mail is Revruth@compuserve.com

INSIDOT says:
Nan, how's life apres school?

RuthW says:
Noel - fat fingers again!

INSIDOT says:
thanks, Rev Ruth

RevNoel says:
The specialized chat rooms will not be publicized other than to their respective constituencies: UCORS(minister), Ministers@B and Practitioners.

INSIDOT says:
2B

RevNoel says:
Sage Bennet will mentor the Practitioner chats, and Glenn Chaffin the UCORS chats (BTW, he doesnlt quite know this yet).

Nan says:
life apres school???

INSIDOT says:
Linda, how about you, are you a RScP??

RuthW says:
OH, I shouldn't spring it on him yet? <G>

RevNoel says:
Yes, Ministers2B

Lyda says:
Which Sage Bennet -- Agape one?

INSIDOT says:
Yes, Nan, didn't you just graduate??

Linda says:
No, INSIDOT, I'm not.  I'm new to all this.

RevNoel says:
No, Ruth, I'm going to spring him on you as a resource.

RuthW says:
OHHHHHHHHH! Well, that's OK with me.

RevNoel says:
Yes, Agape's (other) Sage.

Nan says:
I'm just a beginner taking Rev. Susanne's Practical Spirituality course online.

Lyda says:
She is a splendid mind and writer!!

INSIDOT says:
Linda did you send me an e-mail about Ministerial school?

Linda says:
No, I did not.

INSIDOT says:
--oops, wrong Nan.....

Linda says:
Noel, why am I able to see what everyone is writing except Nan?

RuthW says:
Well, Veronica, Linda and nan may not be aware of their future, but just wait.......<GGGGG>

RevNoel says:
I'm not sure, Linda

RuthW says:
Hmmm, looks as if the "bug" brigade gets to do some work!

Lyda says:
I see Nan's.

RevNoel says:
I see Nan's

RuthW says:
I see EVERYBODY!

Linda says:
I see that she is here but I don't see anything that she types.

Lyda says:
She's a beginner with Rev. Susanne Freeborn.

INSIDOT says:
I expected Tom to be in here.

RuthW says:
BUT I CAN'T WHISPER! Sheesh, frustration!

RevNoel says:
Tom Gordy?

Linda says:
I'm going to leave and come back again and see if that works.

Linda has left the conversation.

INSIDOT says:
yes, Tom Gordy...

RevNoel says:
Say hellow as soon as Linda returns, Nan

RuthW says:
Linda and Nan are joining our church in October......as long distance members. We're very pleased.....

Linda has joined the conversation.

Nan says:
And so are we!!!

RuthW says:
They will some day have churches in their areas, but until that time we're giving them a point of reference.

INSIDOT says:
where do they live?

Nan says:
Do you see me now, Linda?

Lyda says:
Maybe you'd just better have your church online (g)

Linda says:
Ok, Nan.  Say something.

RuthW says:
Victoria - are you asking me?

Nan says:
Just did!

RevNoel says:
Nan just did say somewthing.

RevNoel says:
Twice

Linda says:
No Nan for me :-(

INSIDOT says:
Rev Ruth I was asking where Linda and Nan live?

RuthW says:
Well, that's frustrating.

RuthW says:
Victoria....thanks. I tho't that but wanted to make sure. <G>

INSIDOT says:
Just think, we're all pioneers in this room.......

Nan says:
I live near Corning, NY

RevNoel says:
Linda's chat software has gone baNANas

Linda says:
I live in Kentucky, INSIDOT

RevNoel says:
oops . . .byeNanas

Lyda says:
Faster and Faster, NMoel!!

RuthW says:
I should have expected something like that from Noel. <actually a little jealous that he tho't of it!>

INSIDOT says:
whoa, that IS long distance.......

RevNoel says:
Rev Ron from Russia sometimes drops in.

Lyda says:
Now that's long distance! I wonder how he is managing with all the stuff there.

RuthW says:
Yes, it is, but since there is no physical dhurch in existence near them and we've been communicating for quite a while, I tho't we'd make them long-distance members.

RuthW says:
HOWEVER, when they get their study groups going (am I pushing? never!), then soon there will be a church....our missionary projects!!

Lyda says:
Noel, You would be amazed at the computer classes here this week. Such a demand!!

RevNoel says:
I just might be.

Linda says:
No, Ruth.....you would never push <g>.

Nan says:
Am looking forward to the Rev. Ruth very much but in the future yet.

Linda says:
There you are Nan!!!!!!!!!!!

Nan says:
You had it essed up?

Nan says:
messed

Linda says:
I figured it out.

RuthW says:
Nan, I know.....and it will happen.

RevNoel says:
Nan, you've got to write long sentences for Linda's machine to pick them up.

Lyda says:
Noel, do you know Elaine Willis? She has a B&B on Maui.

Linda says:
LOL, Noel.

RuthW says:
Elaine does? I didn't know that.

RevNoel says:
Yes, I've known her since the late 70's

Linda says:
Actually, I had her on "ignore".  Can't figure out why, though.

Nan says:
Yes, Ruth, I am sure of that!

Linda says:
I'm sure of it too, Ruth.

Lyda says:
At least she did. Ruth Deaton is considering going over for some seminar.

INSIDOT says:
How is Ruth Deaton??

RuthW says:
I love Maui. <sigh>

RevNoel says:
She still does - mentioned it at Asilomar.

RevNoel says:
I' maui less fond of that island myself.

RuthW says:
Veronica, the last time I talked with her, she AND Jack are just find.

RuthW says:
TOO much of a stretch this time, Noel! <G>

INSIDOT says:
Are they still inArizona?

RuthW says:
Yes, at the Peoria church.

Lyda says:
Rev.R. Deaton is on Internet. Send her an email at deatonrh@juno.com

RevNoel says:
JAck is online also.

RuthW says:
Thanks, Lyda. I was just going to hunt her address...now I don't have to.

INSIDOT says:
thanks, Lyda......

RevNoel says:
She can also be written as ruthdeaton@religiousscience.org

INSIDOT says:
Lyda, where are you located?

Lyda says:
Big Island of Hawaii and this week here we have a Nat'l AARP college-week, with people from all over the US.

Lyda says:
They love the sightseeing trips, especially the Dolphin Quest!

RuthW says:
Lyda, is one allowed to swim with the dolphins?

Lyda says:
I'm laughing at the Volunteers from Seattle who have to drive the Vans!!

Lyda says:
It's not exactly swimming. One goes in about waist deep and gets to play with them.

Lyda says:
But you can swim with wild Dolphins down South at Kealakekua Reserve Bay!!

RuthW says:
Well, that's better than nothing for sure. When the ministers went to the Bahamas, etc., one of the tours was to be in the water with sting rays.....

RuthW says:
EVERYONE said it was a high-spiritual experience. Wish I'd done it.

Lyda says:
We also have great night trips with "Gentle" Manta Rays!!!

RevNoel says:
Next time, Ruth, make  a POINT of it.

RuthW says:
Well, see, I need to go there!

RuthW says:
Noel................what can I say!

Lyda says:
Sting Rays were probably gentle Manta Rays!@

Lyda says:
They swim with such playful grace - just like a ballet.

RuthW says:
Yes, I think they were. Most of the responses were that when the human and the Ray eyed each other there was a REAL contact....something beyond just seeing each other.

Nan says:
My daughter swam w/ sting rays off the island of Yap.  they have no enemies there and don't sting.

RuthW says:
Nan, wow!

Lyda says:
But none of them have had my swim with a Humpback Whale!!  See why it was such a big deal for me??

Nan says:
Or Palau, don't remember which.

RuthW says:
Wasn't it Burbank who eventually persuaded a cactus to stop growing needles by telling it it had no enemies.

RuthW says:
Lyda -- I SEE! I'm impressed. What an experience.

Lyda says:
Noel, if you go to Maui after November lst, you will see the Humpbacks the best!!!

RuthW says:
Nan, what was her impresiion.

RuthW says:
impression!

Nan says:
She was thrilled.  Have photos someone took of her with them.

RuthW says:
Lyda, where did you swim with the Humpback?

Annie has joined the conversation.

RuthW says:
Welcome, Annie.

RevNoel says:
Hi, Annie

Lyda says:
In my very own BAy across the street!!!!

Nan says:
Hi Annie!

RuthW says:
Double WOW, Lyda.

Linda says:
Hi Annie!

Lyda says:
Annie who from where?

Annie says:
Hi everybody!

INSIDOT says:
hello, Annie......

Lyda says:
Gosh, this hour has been super and now it's ending for me!! Aloha and Mahalo ALL!!!

RevNoel says:
Nite Lyda!!!

RuthW says:
Aloha, Lyda.

Nan says:
Nite, Lyda

RevNoel says:
Whew!  I got it in this time.

Lyda has left the conversation.

INSIDOT says:
Aloha, Lyda

Nan says:
me, too hurried

RuthW says:
Noel - fast tonight and you made it! Speedy!

RuthW says:
for those who wonder what that's all about -- Lyda makes about the fastest exit of any human.....

RevNoel says:
Linda beat her earelier, however.

RuthW says:
so it's a challenge to get even a "good by" to her before she's GOND!

INSIDOT says:
--not for slow modems.......

RuthW says:
GOND - what on earth is that, Ruth! I dunno!

RevNoel says:
s in Gond with the Ola

INSIDOT says:
I like that Rr

Nan says:
Part of Bobbie's name?

RuthW says:
Nan - very good! Sharp people here tonight.

INSIDOT says:
Annie?

INSIDOT says:
where's your church??

RuthW says:
Noel - now THAT's good....a good gond----OLA! <G>

RuthW says:
Well, I won't leave quite as fast as Lyda, but I have two phone calls waiting for me. Thanks for being here.....

RevNoel says:
Where's Annie, for that matter . . .

Linda says:
Nite, Ruth.

Nan says:
Maybe next week everyone else will make it!

RevNoel says:
Nite, Ruth.  You'll pribably be hearing from Rev. Glenn.

Nan says:
Good night, Ruth.

RuthW says:
and I look forward to next week. Oh of course, we talk in between times. g'nite. Maybe ICQ later????

RevNoel says:
I'm sure . . .

RuthW says:
OK, Noel. I'll smooth his brow, if that' necessary! <G>

RevNoel says:
Actually, I'm going to suggest you coach him.

Linda says:
Nite all.

RuthW says:
Nice to have met you, Veronica. More later, I'm sure.....

Nan says:
Annie, Where are you from?

Linda has left the conversation.

RuthW says:
OK, Noel. Now, love to all of you.....and good night.

RevNoel says:
Bumped, probably.

Nan says:
Now she's trying to beat Lyda , and she did!

RuthW has left the conversation.

INSIDOT says:
Yes, Rev Ruth, you'll be hearing from me......

INSIDOT says:
Goodnight

RevNoel says:
Nite, Veronica

Annie says:
Are you getting this message?

INSIDOT says:
i was saying goodnight toRuth.....

RevNoel says:
Ah, you have to be fast around here.

INSIDOT says:
Annnnnnnn....nie?

Nan says:
Yes, I saw your message Annie. 

INSIDOT says:
I see that....

RevNoel says:
Uh, oh, some of us aren't seeing Annie?

Annie says:
We're not sure if you've been getting what I've been writing.  Have you?

Annie's identity:  newbie@171.208.188.208

Nan says:
I am now.

INSIDOT says:
I'm not seeeing Annie.....

INSIDOT says:
now I am....

RevNoel says:
Right click on her name and be sure she isn;t on "ignore".

Annie says:
Took us a while to get hooked up here.  Rev Noel?

INSIDOT says:
stragglers......

Nan says:
So can you tell us again where you are from, Annie?

RevNoel says:
Yes, I see you, Annie.

Annie says:
Corte Madera!  

INSIDOT says:
yes, Annie....

Nan says:
Spain?

RevNoel says:
Marin

Annie says:
I hate being on ignore, I just hate it!

INSIDOT says:
are you at Karyl's church/

Annie says:
Yes.  I saw her last week.

RevNoel says:
How' she doing?

INSIDOT says:
she was my first SOM teacher.......

Joan has joined the conversation.

Annie says:
Very well.  She's amazing.  She'll be fine.

RevNoel says:
Hi Joan!!

Nan says:
I shall be leaving as well.  See you next week.....

RevNoel says:

Nan has left the conversation.

INSIDOT says:

INSIDOT says:

Annie says:
How has this been going tonight?

Joan says:
Huff, puff, hufff...have been trying for an hour to figure out how to get with you folks.  Hi, Noel.  Is Ruth still on?

RevNoel says:
Lots of first-timers.

RevNoel says:
Ruth just left.

RevNoel says:
This is Joan . . .???

Joan says:
Is this going to be a regular chat time and place?  and it's me, Joan McKenna.

Joan's identity:  jmckenna@beanie-ppp18.lanminds.com

RevNoel says:
I thought as much.

RevNoel says:
Yes, every WEDNESDAY from 7-8

Joan says:
who is Insidot and which Annie is on line?

Annie says:
Actually, my name is Ann.  My husband set this up for me and he calls me Annie.  Ann Crawford.

INSIDOT says:
Hi, Joan, you KNOW me.........VERONICA

RevNoel says:
Oh, ANN!!!

Annie says:
Noel!

RevNoel says:
I just got an error message on your dovesong e-mail address.

Joan says:
Well, greetings to Annie.  And VERONICA, how are you?

Annie says:
Shouldn't have.  Wondered why I haven't been getting mail from you.

RevNoel says:
Annie is about to do a world tour.

INSIDOT says:
wonderful, Joan

RevNoel says:
And Veronica is mentor of the Ministers2B listserv and forthcoming chats.

Annie says:
About how to co-create world peace.

Joan says:
Annie where are you going on your tour?  And Veronica, are you still in ministerial school?

INSIDOT says:
Annie, when are you leaving?

Annie's identity:  newbie@171.208.188.208

INSIDOT says:
Yes, Joan, I am.......

Annie says:
We'll be leaving in October.  First stop is Iceland.  Then circumnavigating the globe.

Joan says:
Noel, did you go to the Northern California UCORS meeting today?

RevNoel says:
Cold start

Annie says:
Icy even.

RevNoel says:
Yes, it was hilarious - absolutelt hilarious.

Joan says:
that's great, Veronica.

Joan says:
Noel, does that mean you were drunk on vodka?

RevNoel says:
I've never seen a bunch of ministers have such a good time doing business.

INSIDOT says:
Annie, i recommend the isle of Capri off the shore of Naples in Italy,

INSIDOT says:
Go see the Blue Grotto

RevNoel says:
No, we were drunk on Muata and Luzette's repartee.

Annie says:
OK, we'll try to get there.  Lots of places to go, that's for sure!

Joan says:
Excellent, Noel!  I have a Wed. am Foundation Class that meets from 10 to noon,

RevNoel says:
We actually had Muata trying to calm US down.

Joan says:
and I need those warm bodies who have completed Foundation class for my new crop of leaders and board members.

RevNoel says:
Perhaps its just as well . . . any more hilarity might have been too much.

RevNoel says:
We actually got a lot done.  The results will come out in a newsletter that Muata is editing and John Ham is publioshing.

Joan says:
That's fabulous.  This is a big step for Muata.  He's hung back from taking the authority he's capable of for a long time.  I am so glad that he got nominated and elected as President.  he'll do a terrific job.

RevNoel says:
He sure did today.

Joan says:
He got John Ham to come???  That is a great accomplishment.

RevNoel says:
John is the secretary.  He had very good, full minutes from the previous meeting.

RevNoel says:
AND a printed agenda for today;s meeting.

RevNoel says:
There were seven of us.

Joan says:
Veronica, what's the news about you?  Last time I saw you, you were in the final stages of planning your daughter's wedding.  How has the summer been and how is your heart doing these days?

INSIDOT says:
My heart is wonderful, my daughter is happily married AND pregnant already.

Joan says:
Wow!  congratulations.  Somehow I think you will make a fabulous grandmother.

INSIDOT says:
Annie, are you taking SOM classes/

INSIDOT says:
I feel very ready..

Annie says:
Just finished Prac 2.  I'm going to wait to get licensed until we return from the big trip.

Joan says:
Annie, how long will you be traveling for?

Annie says:
6-8 months.

Annie says:
We're making a documentary on world peace.

Joan says:
Fantastic!  Where are you studying to be a practitioner?

Annie says:
We traveled around the U.S. and Canada this summer.  It was wonderful.  Saw the Anchorage CRS.

Annie says:
Corte Madera, Marin County, under Rev. Karyl.

Joan says:
Great!  I heard that she had gotten married again.  True?

Annie says:
No, but she's living with her new beau.  He's wonderful.

Joan says:
Did you know that they were childhood sweethearts?  And he makes her laugh and laugh and laugh.

Joan says:
My kind of guy.

INSIDOT says:
Time for me to shift gears.......GOODNITE ALL.........^v^

Annie says:
It's great seeing them together.  Night V.

Joan says:
Goodnite, Veronica.  Blessings and interesting times!

INSIDOT says:
BYE

INSIDOT has left the conversation.

Joan says:
Noel, who else made it to today's meeting besides you, John and Muata?

RevNoel says:
Cindy and Sandy

RevNoel says:
And Luzette

RevNoel says:
Hmmm, perhaps that is all.

Joan says:
I think you're missing someone.

RevNoel says:
I thought there were seven, but am only remembering six.

Joan says:
Okay, thanks.

Annie says:
Noel, did you get my e-mail about the Pacific Sun article?

RevNoel says:
Ann, I just read the e-mail - which apparently told you that OUR e-mail address wasn;t wormking.

RevNoel says:
I certainly never dropped you form any list of mine.

RevNoel says:
No, I didnt get that one.

Joan says:
I think I'm going to sign off now.  I have the Thursday morning classin Oakland to prepare for.  We're studying Power of Decision by Barker.  I'm doing this to keep some of the folks anchored while the church is candidating.

Annie says:
I got a whole bunch of your stuff forwarded to me from Deborah Erwin.

Joan says:
Good night.  Nice chatting with all.  thanks for all you great work, Noel.

Annie says:
Bye Joan.  Next time

RevNoel says:
Nite. Joan

Joan says:
by the way, isn't it time we sent you more money for the church's web site?

RevNoel says:
Now I am intrigued!!!

Joan says:
As I recall, it was last August or September that we came on line.  So another what is due?

RevNoel says:
Ah, yes, she's on the forgivenessday listserv.

Annie says:
Yes.  And I hadn't gotten any of that stuff from you directly.

RevNoel says:
Thank you Joan.  I'll bill you.

Joan says:
Goodnight.

Joan has left the conversation.

RevNoel says:
'Nite

Annie says:
Is your email working now.

Annie says:
I'll resend that article.

RevNoel says:
It has been working all the time, so far as I know.

RevNoel says:
Do you want to be on the forgiuvenessdy listserv?

Annie says:
Is it just us? 

Annie says:
Yes!!

RevNoel says:
Just us!!

Annie says:
Arn wants to know if we've ever heard of the phone.

RevNoel says:
ChanBot is the program file.  A.K.A. Micorsoft God 2.5

Annie says:
He stepped in for a moment.

Annie says:
Ah!

Annie says:
ChanBot was very quick to welcome me.

RevNoel says:
Yes, actually I will soon be talking to folks comoputer to computer rather than phone to phone - free of charge, because I hve a wiresless modem.

Annie says:
Cool. 

RevNoel says:
You can do the same - once you get back from the trip.

Annie says:
Well, I'll resend that email to you.  And if you could put me on your other mailing list, that would be great.

Annie says:
What do you all and Dr. Ruth talk about tonight?  I'm so sorry I missed it.  It took us almost an hour to set up the ICR thing.  Well, it took Arn almost an hour.

RevNoel says:
O.K.  You have been getting the occasional announcements of SOM-related activities, haven't you?

Annie says:
Yes.

Annie says:
Is the SOM mailing list separate from the Forgiveness day one?

RevNoel says:
We either ask Dr. Ruth questions, or she piques us with quotes.

RevNoel says:
Yes.  Forgivenessday is a listserv on which everybody gets a copy of everybody else's messages.

Annie says:
Anything mind boggling from Dr. Ruth tonight?

RevNoel says:
You could set one up for those with whom you would like to stay in touch during your trip.

Annie says:
How do you get on the listserv?

RevNoel says:
No.  It was mostly getting used to the new chat room.

Annie says:
I send out mass emails to everyone.  It seems to work well.

Annie says:
Was this the first time here?

Annie says:
How do you do the listserv thing?

RevNoel says:
I would set up a listserv called World Peace Tour (or whatever), and people could subscribe and unsubscribe to it as they wish.

Annie says:
Where does one set it up?  How?

RevNoel says:
You could keep them up to date on the tour, they could ask questions, make comments, suggestions, etc.

RevNoel says:
I would set it up.

Annie says:
That would be wonderful!!!  Have you seen our website?

RevNoel says:
No.  Where is it?

Annie says:
We plan on having a bulletin board on it.  The url is www.whispersonthewind.org.  I'd love feedback on it.

RevNoel says:
I'll check it out.

RevNoel says:
Checking . . .

RevNoel says:
Checking . . .

Annie says:
Do you have another computer there?

RevNoel says:
No, I multi-task - usually have fivbe progrtams going at once.

Annie says:
The listserv for us would be so great!!  Thank you!!

RevNoel says:
Ah . . . short, sweet, and to the point.

RevNoel says:
Where is the server for it?

Annie says:
Best. com

Annie says:
What do you see?  There are actually over 50 pages to the site.

RevNoel says:
We charge $100 per year to host non-profit sites, which includes e-mail addresses.

RevNoel says:
I just saw the Home Page so far.

RevNoel says:
Did you design ityourself?

Annie says:
The globe connects you to the other pages.  Arn did it.

Annie says:
I'll happily pay $100.

RevNoel says:
Great job!!!

Annie says:
Thank you!!

RevNoel says:
The one catch is that there's also a transfer fee to move the URL from one DNS to another.

RevNoel says:
$50

Annie says:
This is Arn asking (Ann typing)  Do you have a shell account?

Annie says:
A Unix machine?

RevNoel says:
NT server

Annie says:
He's pacing about the place.

RevNoel says:
We have just tripled our bandwidth via a DSL line.

Annie says:
We'll have to get back to you about this.  It sounds like a great idea.  I'm all for it, but I don't really understand the technical aspects of all this.

Annie says:
How much service space could we get?  (Arn asking)

RevNoel says:
And are our own ISP (i.e., DNS) registered with Internic.  Until recently, we relied on otjer ISP's.

RevNoel says:
Within reason, we dont have a limit on pages - unless they beconme graphics intensive, CGi forms, etc.

RevNoel says:
Then we charge $200 per year.

RevNoel says:
We could also set it up for people to make donations online - or are you already doing that?

RevNoel says:
We could tie the listserv (and a chat room) together with the website as an integrated unit.

Annie says:
We're graphic intensive.  Our site will be full of video, virtual reality movies, sound files.  At the moment we have 70 megs on a Unix shell machine and may need more by the end of the project

RevNoel says:
We specialize in networking.

Annie says:
That sounds wonderful -- the integrated unit and the donations on line.  Always love the donations part.

Annie says:
As Arn is the webmaster for this project, does he have unlimited access to the account?

RevNoel says:
SO let me talk with Chips and see what we would charge for a couple of hundred megs, chat room, listserv, online donations . . . the works!!

Annie says:
Or does he have to go thru you?

Annie says:
OK.  Cool.  We'll pay!

kosmickook has joined the conversation.

RevNoel says:
He would have unlimnited access to the account.  We would just host it - and perhaps help with the CGI stuff.

kosmickook says:
hi folks

RevNoel says:
I.e., donation forms.

RevNoel says:
Hi Kos!!

kosmickook says:
almost forgotit was wed and was real tired before napping

kosmickook says:
HI RevNoel

Annie says:
Excellent!!  He's been using Adobe Pagemill 2.0 to build the site.  Do you have any compatibility problems with that?  Hi Kos!

RevNoel says:
The chat per se is over, Kos, we're talking websites at the moment.  (Kos has one also)

kosmickook says:
no probs here

RevNoel says:
Any software program works!!!

kosmickook says:
 : )

RevNoel says:
He would just ftp onto our server.

kosmickook says:
yup

RevNoel says:
Kos: check out www.whispersonthewind.org

kosmickook says:
K !

kosmickook says:
whats there?

RevNoel says:
Annie's world tour website.

Annie says:
Great!  

kosmickook says:
: )

kosmickook says:
Spiritual poetry at http://www.frigidnorth.com/kos

Annie says:
Noel, this sounds wonderful, cool, fabulous.  

RevNoel says:
We could help you create traffic, too.

Annie says:
Great!!

RevNoel says:
Is Arn adept at indexing?

Annie says:
He's looking at me blankly.

Annie says:
What do you mean by indexing?

RevNoel says:
That says it all.

Annie says:
I guess so.  He's still baffled.

Annie says:
Does it have any other names?

RevNoel says:
O.K.  This is a world class site (no pun intended) and it deserves world class attention.  Being present to the world is step one.  Alerting the world to your presence is step 2.

RevNoel says:
Indexing (and numnerous other schemes) is what alerts the world to your presence.

kosmickook botes that Kosmicks site is indexed

kosmickook says:
whoops; > )

Annie says:
Meta-tags?

RevNoel says:
This site is a perfect compliment to some other sites we have (or are about to), and we can use each of them to advance all of them (and vice versa).

Annie says:
We need all the help we can get, getting our message out there!

RevNoel says:
Yes, meta-tags, for one.

RevNoel says:
O.K.  Chips and I will discuss this in the morning, and I'll get back to you.

RevNoel says:
Possibly not until Friday, however.

Annie says:
This sounds really wonderful.  Friday is fine.

RevNoel says:
I'm excited!!!  This is kind of site we specialize in.

Annie says:
Do you want us to put any links on our links page?

RevNoel says:
We are also starting an online magazine.

Annie says:
Cool.

RevNoel says:
To promote stuff like your project.

kosmickook lies back 'cause his friend at frigidnorth does all that site work for him

Annie says:
Way cool.

RevNoel says:
Annie's husband Arn is their webmaster, Kos.

kosmickook says:
OH

Annie says:
Kos, where are you from?

kosmickook says:
NJ

Annie says:
You're up late!  I'm a native NY'er myself.

RevNoel says:
Hey, I'm going to be in NJ next March, Kos.

RevNoel says:
Southern part, near Philly.

kosmickook says:
so there are ways you and us folk are creating traffic for our sites?

kosmickook says:
i mean specific to and from SOM related stuff?

kosmickook says:
Noel -cool

kosmickook says:
im near NY city

RevNoel says:
As an ISP, I do hosting, indexing, marketing, listserving, chatting, shopping carts, secure transactions . . . the whole nine yards.

RevNoel says:
We specialize in so-calledNew Thought, Gaia Thought, Self-Dominion Thought, etc.

kosmickook says:
ah - and i see some tutorials will be taking place  - id like to sit in on them - getting a puter real soon

Annie says:
Ever think about changing the name, RS?

kosmickook says:
?

RevNoel says:
Oh yes, Arn could become part of a webwizards learning community I am initiating in October.

RevNoel says:
Ooops, its a Microsoft FrontPage98 group!!!

kosmickook says:
yea i wanna at least Audit a class

RevNoel says:
I keep saying "I" when I should be saying "we".

Annie says:
Speaking of Gaia Thought, Self-Dominion, etc, have you heard any talk about changing the name Religious Science?  It scares people.

kosmickook says:
oh is tat all - what about the website dreating class?

kosmickook says:
creating : )

kosmickook says:
ANNIE - great question

RevNoel says:
That's what I'm tyalking about, Kos.  FP98 is the web design software program that we're all using.

kosmickook says:
ppl tink its Scientology

kosmickook says:
oh

RevNoel says:
There will be no change of name.

Annie says:
Ever?

RevNoel says:
It will, however, become completely relanguaged under a different name by a contemporary Ernest Holmes.

Annie says:
Ernest was open at the top.  He would have called it something else in this day and age.

kosmickook ponders how on Earth o explain SOM to cohorts

Annie says:
Is that contemporary EH you?

RevNoel says:
In his day and age it was perfect.  Just as buggy whips were perfect for their time.

kosmickook says:
meaning what Noel?

RevNoel says:
Well, I've considered it . . .

kosmickook says:
so u are writng your won book ?

RevNoel says:
. . . and it will probably be an on-line movement . . .

Annie says:
cool.

RevNoel says:
Currently I am writing websites and e-books.

kosmickook says:
oh

kosmickook says:
to be on line when?

RevNoel says:
See www.mediamessage.com/selfdominion .  It has begun . . .

RevNoel says:
. . . though barely . . .

kosmickook says:
WOW

kosmickook says:
KEWL

kosmickook says:
Kewl anyway!

Annie says:
I'll check it out.

RevNoel says:
The website is called "Choosing Self-Dominion"  It draws on Religious Science, but has its own language . . . which I have to simplify.

kosmickook says:
is tat that full url?

RevNoel says:
I'm actually supporting severl persons in the development of related websites that will also draw upon R.S. using different language.

kosmickook 's frustrated with his index fner on te keyboard

RevNoel says:
It doesn't really matter what people call it, so long as they're getting it.

kosmickook says:
Great

RevNoel says:
The secret is to put it in today's terms.

Annie says:
But when something has a friendlier name, more people will get it.

Annie says:
My brain hurt the first time I heard the name.

kosmickook says:
i never know how to explain it to ppl ; > )

RevNoel says:
Hey!!!  Look at the time!!!

Annie says:
Noel!

kosmickook says:
Annis hah

kosmickook says:
midnite

Annie says:
Is time bad?

kosmickook says:
nope

RevNoel says:
Kos:  people started to get "it" when I told them that N.T./R.S./Unity, etc. is about "chooising self-dominion rather than having people, places and things run your life."

kosmickook says:
ahh

Annie says:
ahh

kosmickook says:
and the name Unity has a better "ring" to it too

Annie says:
Unity has such a great name.

RevNoel says:
Time is good . . . and rigfht now is best if I complete some other promises to keep before I sleep.

kosmickook says:
: )

kosmickook says:
yesyes

Annie says:
: )

kosmickook says:
not to be confused with Unitarian hah

RevNoel says:
You'll hear from me no later than Friday, Ann.

Annie says:
I'll resend that article to you, Noel, and look for an email from you after you talk to Chips.  Friday's great.

Annie says:
How 'bout lunch before we take off?

kosmickook says:
whens the next chat - so i can be on time? : )

RevNoel says:
BTW, my church and the local unity church are having their Sunday services TOGETHER.  Both ministers speak at each service.

RevNoel says:
A miracle of co-operation.

RevNoel says:
Has revived both churches tremendously.

Annie says:
kewl

RevNoel says:
Gotta go!!!

RevNoel says:
Stay in the grace, folks.

Annie says:
Bye Noel!  Love & peace!

RevNoel says:
Bye Anne 7 Arn.  I'm excited about the possibilities.

RevNoel says:

kosmickook says:

Annie says:
We are too.  Arn's over my shoulder again.

RevNoel says:

kosmickook says:

RevNoel says:
