* Now talking in #tatchat
<Mimi> Good evening ladies
<Stephanie> 12Little examples of the pattern are sewn into the book (and photographed in detail) so you can check the pattern.
<Stephanie> 12Hi MImi!
<Kosmik-s> hello, Mimi!
<Stephanie> 12Is it time?
<Kosmik-s> 5 to
<Mimi> No, not yet
<Mimi> Right Kosmik. Do I know you by a different name?
<Kosmik-s> yes, sorry, Tatty-s
<Stephanie> 12Are we having class next Wednesday?  Isn't Georgia having class next Wednesday, too?  overlapping times?
<Mimi> This is the last beginner's class for the season
<Stephanie> 12oh.
<Stephanie> 12When do the summer beginner sessions start?
<Mimi> Classes will restart in the Fall unless someone volunteers to run them. My schedule gets crazy starting now
<Kosmik-s> oh
<Stephanie> 12workshops and stuff to teach or kids schedules?
<Mimi> Nothing so fun. Work.
<Stephanie> 12YUCK!
<Mimi> No kids, just work :)
<Mimi> Plus so many folks have vacation that it's difficult to get good attendance
<Stephanie> 12I've just BARELY started making recognizable Cluny tallies....is it too early to try hanging Cluny?  I'm not good at it yet....:-(
<Stephanie> 12actually most of the time I'm still kind of terrible at it.
<Stephanie> 12but I'm working on it.
<Mimi> Never too soon to try hanging cluny
<Mimi> Which method are you thinking of for hanging cluny?
<Kosmik-s> (is it there a synonym for "Cluny"?)
<Mimi> Woven leaves
<Kosmik-s> thanks
<Stephanie> 05ummm...I don't know.  The "regular" cluny that I finally "got" is using the star loom I discovered on Georgia's web site.
<Mimi> In bobbin lace they are leaf tallies
<Mimi> Ruth Perry has a method for hanging clunies that is the simplest I've seen
<Stephanie> 13(experimenting with color so we aren't all black-and-blue  :-)
<Stephanie> 13ok, i'll look up her site and see what I can figure out.
<Stephanie> 12I found a pattern (maybe also on Georgia's site) for a VERY cute little angel that I think uses hanging clunies.
<Stephanie> 12oops
<Stephanie> 12ok, I think the regular blue is gonna have to be "it" for me.
<Stephanie> 12Anyway, the angel got me started wondering if I could ...ummm..."execute" it.
<Kosmik-s> 07(what about orange for me?)
<Mimi> If it's Carol's little cluny angel, those are regular clunies
<Stephanie> 12Oh, REALLY?  COOL!!!  I can (sort of) DO those.  
<Stephanie> 12Haven't gotten good enough at it yet to actually get the kite tail (is that on your web site?) to look like much yet, but hey, I'll keep trying.
<Mimi> But because it takes so little thread, you can do them Ruth Perry's way if you like.
<Mimi> http://rozellalinden.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html look for Feb. 12
<Mimi> Kite tail is on my site
<Mimi> it was the only idea I have been able to come up with to use a series of differently-sized leaves
<Mimi> and actually have it look like something
<Stephanie> 12That kite is chock-full of new "discoveries for me - SCMR, CLuny....
<Mimi> Can also do the kite with split rings. I must have forgotten to upgrade that pattern
<Stephanie> 12Hmmm...I don't remember if there were split rings in it or not.  Split rings I can do.
<Stephanie> 12I like them maybe as much as you like Clunies
<Stephanie> 12;-)
<Mimi> There's your challenge - plot a path through those rings using split rings and regular rings only and see if you can end up in the middle!
<Stephanie> 12gasp!
<Stephanie> 12I'll take another look at it and see where it leads....
<Stephanie> 12ok, it's probably "time" by now, right?
<Mimi> YES LET'S GET STARTED
<Mimi> PLEASE SIGN IN
<Kosmik-s> 07all right
<Mimi> MIMI DILLMAN, SNOHOMISH, WA USA ntrop@ix.netcom.com
<Stephanie> 12Stephanie Wilson, Athens, Georgia USA  swwilson@uga.edu
<Mimi> TONIGHT'S SCHEDULED LESSON IS FOUND AT http://www.angelfire.com/planet/newtatters/lesson4.html
<Kosmik-s> 07Paty López, Mexico City, patyl@gmx.net
<Mimi> But I know Stevphany is well past this lesson
<Mimi> Paty! You made it!
<Kosmik-s> 07yes!!!
<Stephanie> 12I am, but I'm eager to "see" someone actually TEACH tatting.
<Stephanie> 12I'm not a good teacher even "in person."
<Mimi> SO PATY, PLEASE REMIND ME WHERE YOU ARE WITH YOUR TATTING SKILLS. I WAS ON VACATION FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND I HAVE FORGOTTEN MOST EVERYTHING I KNEW BEFORE I LEFT
<Kosmik-s> 07I can do split rings
<Kosmik-s> 07I am working on SMRC
<Kosmik-s> 07SCMR
<Mimi> TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS ARE ALWAYS ALLOWED
<Kosmik-s> 07oh, sorry :)
<Mimi> THE OTHER PART OF LESSON 4 IS BEADS
<Mimi> HAVE YOU USED BEADS IN YOUR TATTING YET?
<Kosmik-s> 07not yet
<Stephanie> 12I have, but don't like to - hate "stringing" them - too hard to see.
<Mimi> ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BEADS IN TATTING
<Kosmik-s> 07yes!
<Mimi> NOT ALL BEADS MUST BE PRE-STRUNG STEPHANIE
<Mimi> TERRY THE TATTER *HATES* PRESTRINGING TOO
<Stephanie> 12I know, I just like to use the seed beads when I use them
<Mimi> SO HER PATTERNS ARE WRITTEN TO AVOID STRINING
<Mimi> AND SHE HAS TO KEEP A VERY TINY CROCHET HOOK HANDY ALWASY
<Mimi> TINY ENOUGH TO GO INTO SEED BEADS!!
<Stephanie> 12WOW, that IS tiny!:-0
<Mimi> http://www.terrythetatter.com
<Kosmik-s> 07a I already one, but I think it is not tiny enough
<Mimi> IN THE USA THEY ARE SOLD AS SIZE 15 AND 16
<Kosmik-s> 07mine is size 12
<Mimi> I FORGET HOW MANY MM BUT IT'S NOT VERY MANY - .5 I THINK?
<Stephanie> 12I think the smallest I have is a size 12 or 13
<Mimi> THAT'S .5MM, YES, VERY SMALL
<Stephanie> 12and I thought THEY were tiny!
<Mimi> IT HURTS WHEN YOU POKE YOUR FINGER!!
<Kosmik-s> 07sure it does
<Stephanie> 12my clover pick hurts when I poke myself, too.
<Stephanie> 12(silly grin)
<Mimi> ME TOO LOL
<Kosmik-s> 07so, beads must be inserted in the hook
<Kosmik-s> 07?
<Mimi> NOT MUST, BUT IN SOME CASES THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
<Kosmik-s> 07all right
<Mimi> THE EASIEST WAY - AND THE WAY IN THE LESSON- IS PRE-STRINGING
<Kosmik-s> 07the right number of them
<Mimi> PRE-STRINGING MAY BE DULL, BUT ONCE THEY ARE ON THE THREAD, YOU CAN PUT BEADS IN PICOTS VERY EASILY
<Mimi> THE BEST INTO BEADING LESSON I KNOW OF IS http://www.georgiaseitz.com/classes/beads.html
<Kosmik-s> 07what about using a needle?
<Mimi> AS IN NEEDLE TATTING OR BEADING NEEDLE FOR STRINGING?
<Stephanie> 12ok, I'm still thinking about the crochet hook stuff....I wonder if you could use a thread loop and a very thin sewing needle to get them onto the long picot
<Mimi> THREAD LOOP YES, THIN SEWING NEEDLE DIFFICULT
<Kosmik-s> 07oh
<Mimi> GALE  MARSHALL MARKETS THE "PICOT BEADER" WHICH IS ACTUALLY STIFF WIRE THAT WORKS LIKE THE THREAD LOOP
<Mimi> BACK TO THE SIMPLEST CASES OF BEADING, BEADS ON DECORATIVE PICOTS
<Mimi> DECORATIVE PICOTS = PICOTS NOT JOINED, JUST THERE TO BE PRETTY
<Mimi> WHEN YOU WANT BEADS ON DECORATIVE PICOTS, YOU MUST STRING THEM
<Kosmik-s> 07all right
<Mimi> A) ON THE BALL THREAD IF THE PICOTS ARE ON CHAINS
<Mimi> B) ON THE SHUTTLE THREAD IF THE PICOTS ARE IN RINGS
<Kosmik-s> 07that is good to know!!
<Mimi> THE B) CASE IS TRICKY WHEN WORKING, BECAUSE YOU MUST REMEMBER TO PULL HTE CORRECT NUMBER OF BEADS FOR THE RING
<Mimi> FROM THE SHUTTLE *BEFORE* YOU START THE RING
<Mimi> AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE INSIDE THE RING BUT AWAY FROM THE SHUTTLE'S WORKING AREA
<Mimi> YOU PULL UP THE BEAD(S) NEXT TO HTE DS TO GET IT (THEM) ONTO THE PICOT
<Stephanie> 12Yeah, I can't tell you how many times I've done a ring and gotten to the part where the bead goes, and THEN realized I've forgotten to put the bead in the ring ahead of time.
<Mimi> I SHOULD SAY SLIDE THEM
<Mimi> IT'S ALWAYS FRUSTRATING ISN'T IT STEPHANIE
<Stephanie> 12definitely
<Mimi> IT IS ALSO A PRETTY EFFECT TO LEAVE SEED BEADS ON BARE THREADS IN SINGLE-SHUTTLE TATTING
<Stephanie> 12ooohhh, I never thought of that.
<Kosmik-s> 07so, on rings, they should be in the loop
<Mimi> YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE LESSON http://www.georgiaseitz.com/classes/beads.html AND SCROLL DOWN TO THE FLOWER IN VARIEGATED RED/ORANGE/YELLOW
<Mimi> EXACTLY PATY
<Kosmik-s> 07ok
<Mimi> IN CHAINS, YOU CAN SLIDE UP BEADS ANY TIME
<Mimi> THAT'S HOW THE BLUE BEADS GOT ONTO THE RINGS IN THE RAINBOW EARRINGS AT THE TOP OF THE LESSON
<Stephanie> 12and if you want them on the core thread in a ring, you leave them on the shuttle until you're ready for them
<Stephanie> 12I think....
<Kosmik-s> 07but if you are using the thread directly from the ball?
<Mimi> EXACTLY STEPHANIE
<Mimi> IN USE DIRECTLY FROM BALL
<Mimi> YOU'LL HAVE THREADED THE BEADS ONTO THE BALL THREAD BEFORE STARTING TO TAT
<Kosmik-s> 07ah, ok
<Mimi> THEN YOU CAN SLIDE THE BEADS UP FROM THE BALL WHEN YOU REACH THE NEXT SPOT FOR A BEADED PICOT
<Mimi> NO HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT COUNTING THEM BEFORE STARTING THE CHAIN
<Mimi> NOT LIKE YOU  HAVE TO COUNT SO CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING A RING
<Kosmik-s> 07right, understood!
<Mimi> BEADS OVER A JOIN ARE THE KIND ADDED WHILE TATTING
<Mimi> THEY ARE NOT USUALLY STRUNG IN ADVANCE
<Kosmik-s> 07is there any example of this?
<Mimi> LISA TRUMBLE SHOWS CLEARLY HOW TO ADD A BEAD TO A JOIN AT http://www.thisntat.com/bead_lessons1.html
<Kosmik-s> 07good!
<Mimi> LENGTH OF THE PICOT INTENDED FOR THE JOIN IS CRITICAL
<Mimi> IF YOU DON'T WANT A FLOPPY JOIN
<Mimi> YOU WILL HAVE TO PLAN THE LENGTH OF THE PICOT
<Kosmik-s> 07oh
<Mimi> USING A GAUGE MAKES THIS EASIER ONCE YOU DETERMINE THE SIZE PICOT YOU NEED
<Mimi> LISA SAYS TO PLAN THE PICOT TO BE JUST A TAD BIT LONGER THAN YOUR BEAD
<Mimi> ENOUGH TO GET A CROCHET HOOK THROUGH
<Kosmik-s> 07oh, yes, I see
<Mimi> I'D PRACTICE SOME SIMPLER PATTERNS AND WORK YOUR WAY UP TO BEANILE TATTING
<Stephanie> 12WOuld the hook on the Aero shuttles be too big to use?
<Mimi> HAVE YOU SEEN BEANILE TATTING BY NINA LIBIN
<Mimi> I'VE USED AERO HOOK ON BEADS WITH LARGE HOLES
<Mimi> BUT IT'S TOO BIG FOR SEED BEADS
<Kosmik-s> 07no, link?
<Mimi> http://www.beanile.com
<Kosmik-s> 07thx
<Mimi> Nina's work is more beads than tatting IMO
<Mimi> but it's very pretty
<Mimi> Excellent for jewelry

Session Ident: #tatchat
* Now talking in #tatchat
<Mimi> what did I do!!?
<Stephanie> 12Someone at the Atlanta IOLI group was doing beanile tatting.  It looks even nicer "in person" than it does in pictures.
<Mimi> Anyway NINA'S STYLE LENDS ITSELF WELL TO GEMSTONE BEADS FOR EXTRA PIZZAZZ
<Mimi> IT TAKES A LOT OF BEADS
<Mimi> http://www.beanile.com/BNL-133a.jpg IS PRETTY
<Mimi> ANY MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT BASIC BEADING?
<Tatter> ok
<Mimi> TATTER WELCOM PLEASE SIGN IN
<Stephanie> 12I think I'm ok.
<Stephanie> 12Got to look for a teeny crochet hook....
* Kosmik-s has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Tatter> 07it's me, Patty, I do not know
<Tatter> 07how to change nic
* Tatter is now known as Kosmik-s
* Tatter has joined #tatchat
<Kosmik-s> 07now, it is fixed
* Tatter has quit IRC (Quit: Tatter)
<Mimi> GREAT!
<Mimi> PATY YOU AND I BOTH NEED SEAT BELTS TO KEEP US IN THE CLASSROOM :)
<Kosmik-s> 07yeah!!1 :)
<Mimi> AFTER BEADING, THE LESSON CONCLUDES WITH A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT TO STUDENTS TO JOIN GEORGIA'S REGULAR CLASS
<Kosmik-s> 07good!!!
<Mimi> IF YOU'VE MASTERED THE MATERIAL IN THE 4 BEGINNER'S LESSONS
<Mimi> YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND 70% Or MORE OF WHAT IS DISCUSSED/PRESENTED
<Kosmik-s> 07I'll keep on mastering all of them, even the bonus and challenges
<Mimi> ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN SINGLE OUT WHAT OU DON'T RECOGNIZE AND GET HELP THROUGH Q&A AND/OR GOOGLE SEARCHING
<Mimi> THAT'S GREAT PATY
<Stephanie> 12I'm listening....just tatting while you talk
<Mimi> DO YOU BOTH KNOW HOW TO DO AN ADVANCED SEARCH ON GOOGLE?
<Stephanie> 12I'm not so hot on computer skills.  
<Kosmik-s> 07hmm, I don't think so
<Mimi> BY THAT I MEAN LIMIT YOUR SEARCH TO ONE DOMAIN, LIKE WWW.GEORGIASEITZ.COM?
<Stephanie> 12umm...you can DO that?
<Kosmik-s> 07oh, no, I haven't done that yet
<Mimi> YES YOU CAN!
<Mimi> IF YOU KNOW WHAT WEBSITE YOU WANT TO SEARCH IN
<Mimi> YOU GO TO http://www.google.com
<Mimi> NEXT TO THE TEXT BOX THERE IS A LITTLE LINK CALLED 'ADVANCED SEARCH'
<Mimi> IT GIVES YOU A LOT OF OPTIONS
<Mimi> THE ONES I MAINLY USE ARE
<Mimi> THE ONES IN THE SHADED BLUE BOX
<Mimi> ANDA THEN UNDER "DOMAIN
<Mimi> I CHOOSE "ONLY" RETURN RESULTS FROM - THEN TYPE IN THE DOMAIN, SUCH AS www.georgiaseitz.com
<Mimi> GIVE IT A TRY AND SEE WHAT LESSONS/MENTIONS THERE HAVE BEEN OF "HANGING CLUNY"
<Stephanie> 12I'll do that.
<Mimi> USE 'ALL THE WORDS' ELSE YOU'LL GET LOTS OF CLUNY LINKS
<Kosmik-s> 07ok
<Mimi> DID YOU FIND THE LESSON CALLED "HANGING THE CLUNY"?
<Stephanie> 12yes.
<Kosmik-s> 07yes
<Mimi> SEE HOW EASY? YOU CAN FIND LESSONS YOURSELF TO LEARN WHAT YOU NEED WHEN YOU NEED IT
<Kosmik-s> 07that is really helpful, thanks
<Mimi> INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THE LESSON TO COME AROUND
<Mimi> AS TIME GOES ON YOU'LL FIND OTHER WEBSITES YOU LIKE WITH INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
<Mimi> BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY AS COMPREHENSIVE AS GEORGIA'S
<Mimi> THE CLASS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 1998 I THINK (POSSIBLY EARLIER)
<Mimi> AND SHE NEVER DELETES ANYTHING
<Stephanie> 12I tried searching for "tatting techniques" (in quotes) and found an index, but don't know whose web site it belongs to.
<Mimi> AS FAR AS I KNOW ANYWAY
<Mimi> URL?
<Kosmik-s> 07let's do something to celebrate the first 10 years!
<Stephanie> 12http://www.home.earthlink.net/~frmuse/alison/index.html#T
<Stephanie> 12I think that was where the index was.
<Mimi> HOLY SMOKES LOOK AT ALL THOSE LINKS
<Stephanie> 12There is a LOT of information there.
<Mimi> THERE YOU DON'T NEED GOOGLE
<Mimi> BUT INSTEAD "FIND" FOR FINDING TEXT
<Stephanie> 12I usually end up searching through Georgia's site lookinf for things I don't know how to do yet.
<Mimi> I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO CELEBRATE PATY. LET'S SUGGEST IT TO GEORGIA IN CLASS NEXT WEDNESDAY
<Stephanie> 12cool!
<Kosmik-s> 07great!
<Mimi> MEANTIME ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TONIGHT?
<Stephanie> 12So is class at 8:30 next Wednesday?
<Kosmik-s> 07homework
<Mimi> YES I THINK SO STEPHANIE. I'M THE ROGUE STARTING AT 9 PM
<Mimi> I'M ON THE WEST COAST
<Mimi> AND IT'S TOUGH FOR ME TO BE HOME RELIABLY BY 5:30
<Mimi> BUT I CAN BE HOME BY 6
<Stephanie> 12so it's....oh yeah...ummm...6 for you.
<Mimi> TNIGHT'S START WAS 6
<Mimi> WHICH HOMEWORK PATY
<Stephanie> 12hehehehe.....and I start at 9 here.
<Stephanie> 12The patterns for tonights lesson - are they the homework?
<Kosmik-s> 07for beads, from the urls you wrote down, right?
<Mimi> THAT'S CORRECT - THOSE ARE SUGGESTED PATTERNS TO USE TO PRACTICE THE TECHNIQUES PRESENTED
<Kosmik-s> 07all right
<Mimi> THAT'S RIGHT PATY - BOTH LINKS EXCEPT BEANILE ARE IN THE LESSON
<Mimi> OH,AND NOT TERRY THE TATTER EITHER :)
<Kosmik-s> 07good
<Mimi> GEORGIA USES THE SAME FORMAT
<Mimi> A DISCUSSION AND THEN A PATTERN (OR DISCUSSION OF A PATTERN) BUT USUALLY A PATTERN IS INCLUDED TO PRACTICE THE TECHNIQUE
<Kosmik-s> 07is next Wednesday, 8:30 New York time?
<Mimi> Correct June 20 8:30 pm
<Mimi> Same place - here!
<Mimi> I see a pattern is posted already by checking her class lesson listing
<Mimi> http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2007/2007index.html
<Mimi> wow those are quite elaborate buttons!
<Kosmik-s> 07the button?
<Kosmik-s> 07yes
<Stephanie> 12I've downloaded the button pattern but haven't gotten the supplies yet.
<Stephanie> 12I'm still engrossed in making squadrons of angels (wings).
<Mimi> I've never seen those type of buttons before (Prym Creative Buttons)?
<Stephanie> 12Is that a Wal-Mart type of button, do you think? 
<Mimi> Which angels Stephanie? Christa's?
<Stephanie> 12or a "fabric store" thing?
<Stephanie> 12Yes, the angel wings on crystals.
<Stephanie> 12I've been playing around with the pattern - tried doubling the stitch count and using sewing thread
<Mimi> Don't know about where to find them... Google brought up only UK based links
<Stephanie> 12It's just a tad bit too big but will work, I think.
<Mimi> I guess we have to go to class and find out where Brigitte lives and where she got hers
<Kosmik-s> 07hmm
<Mimi> The idea will likely work for other beads with some creativity :)
<Stephanie> 12I...ummm...think I had to do something weird to get the pattern up on the screen and print it.
<Stephanie> 12i mean for the angel wings
<Mimi> Tks
<Mimi> Which URL for the angel wings?
<Stephanie> 12let me see if I can find it.
<Stephanie> 12ok, it was the last lesson on Georgia's online lesson index....the one before the June 20 stuff.
<Mimi> Ok Thanks. I wondered
<Kosmik-s> 07we can have access to all said here, by doing what, please? i do not remember
<Stephanie> 12It came up as a pdf file when I clicked on Crista's angel wings, but I couldn't get a url other than Georgia's
<Mimi> THE LAST TIP IS THE LOG
<Mimi> THAT'S THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, PATY, THE LOG OR TRANSCRIPT OF THE LESSON
<Mimi> SINCE WE REALLY HAD A LESSON TONIGHT I'LL PUT UP THE LOG
<Kosmik-s> 07ok 
<Mimi> ON THE CLASS PAGE 
<Stephanie> 12do you do the same thing as Georgia does with the Monday night class?  Put it on the site with the lesson for the day?
<Mimi> AFTER CLASS IS OVER
<Mimi> THAT'S RIGHT!
<Kosmik-s> 07yes, please!
<Stephanie> 12and you click on class log and it comes up?
<Mimi> EXCEPT THAT OURS WILL BE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE SET OF LINKS ON THE LESSON 4 PAGE
<Kosmik-s> 07ok!
<Stephanie> 12ok, I think I can find it.
<Mimi> I'LL PUT IT ABOVE THE LOG FOR MAY 9 ON PAGE http://www.angelfire.com/planet/newtatters/lesson4.html
<Mimi> YOU CAN FIND OTHER LOGS THE SAME WAY
<Mimi> SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW OTHERS WERE ASKING QUESTIONS, YOU CAN READ LOGS FROM OTHER SESSIONS OF HTE SAME LESSON
<Stephanie> 12DO you keep the logs from months ago?
<Stephanie> 12never mind, you answered that
<Mimi> WHEN WE'RE FEELING ORGANIZED WE PUT THEM ONTO A HISTORY PAGE
<Stephanie> 12before I hit "enter.
<Kosmik-s> 07thank you very much :) !!
<Mimi> http://www.angelfire.com/planet/newtatters/Archives.html
<Stephanie> 12and you get there from the lesson page, too?
<Mimi> HOPEFULLY NEXT TIME WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHICH ARE FOR WHICH LESSON :)
<Mimi> FROM THE FRONT PAGE http://www.angelfire.com/planet/newtatters
<Stephanie> 12ok, good.
<Mimi> KEEP IN MIND WE'RE TATTERS NOT WEBSITE DESIGNERS :))
<Kosmik-s> 07;)
<Mimi> THANKS AGAIN FOR COMING TONIGHT
<Stephanie> 12hehehehe....that's why I've resisted setting up a web page
<Mimi> HAVE A GREAT SUMMER TATTING
<Stephanie> 12Can't design, I just like to tat.
<Mimi> AND KEEP AN EYE OUT ON GEORGIA'S LIST
<Kosmik-s> 07same to you
<Stephanie> 12Thanks, you too.
<Stephanie> 12Try not to work too hard.
<Mimi> SOMETIMES SHE HAS VOLUNTEERS TO TEACH IN BETWEEN TIMES
<Mimi> I'LL TRY STEPHANIE
<Mimi> THE SHIPS HAVE TO GET LOADED FOR THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC BETWEEN NOW AND MID-SEPT
<Kosmik-s> 07thank you very much !!
<Mimi> SO HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF SEPT LIFE WILL CALM DOWN AGAIN
<Stephanie> 12oh....yeah, I guess too late in the year and the water would freeze?
<Stephanie> 12Wow.
<Mimi> THAT'S RIGHT - NOT TOO EARLY OR THERE'S ICE, AND NOT TOO LATE OR YOU GET STUCK!
<Mimi> LUCKILY IT'S NOT MY JOB TO WORRY ABOUT THAT PART
<Kosmik-s> 07amazing!
<Mimi> I ONLY HAE TO MAKE SURE THE RIGHT STUFF GOES ONTO THE SHIPS THAT COME IN - THE SHIPPER DOES THE SCHEDULING
<Stephanie> 12I don't think about ice much in Georgia.  
<Mimi> NEXT ICE STORM YOU WILL :)
<Stephanie> 12once or twice a year, and it melts almost immediately
<Stephanie> 12My parents (north Carolina) get more ice/snow than I do....sometimes I feel a little jealous.
<Mimi> IT IS STRANGE TO THINK ABOUT THAT'S FOR SURE
<Stephanie> 12Our big thing here is thunderstorms and sometimes tornadoes.  Sometimes I'd rather have ice
<Mimi> TORNADOES ALWAYS SCARED ME GROWING UP IN HOUSTON
<Mimi> AROUND HERE THE SCARY PART IS EARTHQUAKES
<Kosmik-s> 07also in Mexico
<Mimi> AT LEAST YOU CAN PREDICT TORNADOES/HURRICANES
<Mimi> EARTHQUAKES HAPPEN WHENEVER!
<Stephanie> 12hmmm....I don't know what would be worse - tornadoes or earthquakes.
<Mimi> MOST EARTHQUAKES DON'T DO THE SAME DAMAGE AS TORNADOES BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN HIDE IN THE BASEMENT :)
<Mimi> IN A TORNADO THE BASEMENT IS HELPFUL I MEAN
<Stephanie> 12if you have a basement.  :-)
<Mimi> LOL
<Stephanie> 12My landlady keeps reminding me if I get scared I can come to her house and we'll hide in a closet together (she doesn't have a basement either)  :-)
<Kosmik-s> 07:)
<Stephanie> 12I can hide in my OWN closet, why go out in the storm?
<Mimi> MISERY LOVES COMPANY
<Stephanie> 12that must be it
<Stephanie> 12I guess i'd better sign off.  I sort of promised my husband I'd get offline around 10.
<Mimi> IN ANY CASE, I'D BETTER SIGN OFF AND START DINNER AND GET THE LOG POSTED
<Stephanie> 12Goodnight everyone.
<Kosmik-s> 07ok, girls, we will meet on Wednesday! bye for now, and have a very good night
<Mimi> HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND SEE YOU NEXT WEDNESDAY IN THE REGULAR CLASS!
* Stephanie has quit IRC (Quit: Tatters 4 forever!)
<Mimi> BUENAS NOCHES
<Kosmik-s> 07thaks
<Kosmik-s> 07gracias
* Disconnected
