8:02 am

westford

hope it isn't that mom

8:03 am

mom2han8

I am sure it is not... but people are in a bit of a tizzy around here.

Well, there are never vaccines available for any current flu outbreak... all based on the previous year.

The weather here is amazing today - it's as if someone just turned a faucet on fully every half-hour or so.

12:55 pm

Takuma Sato

It goes from clear to downpour without transition, and then back to clear

12:56 pm

1:29 pm

Anniebrook

1:30 pm

redturtlehead

He doesnt care. Luckily he is not nervous about that sort of thing.

1:43 pm

Takuma Sato

Which is probably a relief to the other people in this cafe

1:50 pm

Takuma Sato

the nu5/14 doesn't seem as strange to me as the de6/24 - being de4/6 seems like a definitive all-or-nothing state

1:51 pm

Anniebrook

except when it comes to doornails then the de 6/24 might play

1:51 pm

2:59 pm

redturtlehead

I did already run. But now I have t odo the gym and swim...

2:59 pm

westford

2:59 pm

westford

I'd happily walk the dog

3:01 pm

what's happening with your house red?

3:15 pm

redturtlehead

myself as well...

3:16 pm

redturtlehead

just waiting on inspection. and then....hopefully closing. they have 8 days to get the inspectiondone.

3:16 pm

westford

very nice !!

3:16 pm

westford

happy for both of you

3:17 pm

redturtlehead

Its good to see that things are selling again, and I hope mine goes t hrough properly.

3:19 pm

westford

from your description it sounds like a nice house the new owners should be happy there

3:20 pm

redturtlehead

Its a pretty nice place. Mixi, another babbler apparently lives 3 miles down the road, she said that lately it looks good...

3:21 pm

redturtlehead

I can not wait to stop lawn service.

3:21 pm

westford

I'm sure that made a difference though

3:21 pm

westford

if it doesn't have curb appeal...

3:26 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, plus it annoys the annoying Homeowners association if it isnt mowed, and they harass me. Ahhh No more annoying nosy neighbours and no more HOA.

3:27 pm

redturtlehead

Can someone clue the ad word,I saw there was an ad 5, cant figure it.

3:27 pm

westford

life is good !

3:27 pm

westford

a and de4/6

3:27 pm

westford

you might de** it necessary

3:27 pm

bichon

I get you on that red. We have a HOA and they are so very annoying. It's the seletive enforcement of the rules which is the worst.

3:28 pm

redturtlehead

TY, Hi Bochon, It is the selectiveness, and the hounding for dues.

3:29 pm

redturtlehead

When I actively lived there I was right on time with dues, but...afterI moved away I cared less about the stuff they offered.

3:29 pm

bichon

I don't mind paying the dues as much as the annoying people on the BOD.

3:29 pm

redturtlehead

which was nothing but the nosy neighbours.

3:30 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I did have some very nice people in the neighbourhood, but....the actual neighbours were horrid.

3:31 pm

bichon

Some of the neighbors are nosy and obtrusive and some are just plain nie.
The houses are very lose together and your neighbors can hear everything.

3:32 pm

redturtlehead

luckily we are not so close,its an older neighbourhood.

3:33 pm

bichon

*nie even

3:33 pm

redturtlehead

nie?

3:33 pm

bichon

*nice

3:33 pm

bichon

Something's wrong with my "c" keye

3:34 pm

redturtlehead

Ihad a trouble like that with V the other week.

3:35 pm

lynxxx

Goodmorning. So do you HAVE to join these associations in the US?

3:35 pm

bichon

The dues go for the physial upkeep of the ommon areas. The area is full of paths, ponds, bridges, grass, et.

3:35 pm

redturtlehead

yes, you have no choice if you live in the neighbourhood.

3:35 pm

elder

Good evening everyone.

3:36 pm

bichon

Lynxxx, some areas have a covenant with HOA, but most don't. Theoretically, HOA are supposed to keep people from letting their property get run down, or paint their house chartreuse.

3:36 pm

redturtlehead

hi elder.

3:36 pm

westford

hello lyn elder and bichon

3:36 pm

lynxxx

hi Elder

3:36 pm

bichon

Hi elder and west

3:37 pm

redturtlehead

they are not bad things. However, we have a purple house in our neighbourhood.

3:37 pm

elder

hello girls:)

3:37 pm

westford

the HOA must not like that

3:38 pm

bichon

All the houses are supposed to be earth-tone. Some are earth tones only seen in the sky at sunset

3:38 pm

redturtlehead

I dunno, its a very liberal artsy area. our dues mostly gofor brush pick up twice a year.

3:39 pm

bichon

Sometimes it get to be very annoying. We sided our house and put in new windows. The windows were of a slighly different style than the other houses on our ircle and one bitch had a fit.

3:39 pm

bichon

*circle

3:39 pm

westford

3:39 pm

sanskitties

redturtlehead, where you live, Berkley?

3:39 pm

westford

we're allowing for your lack of 'c' lol

3:39 pm

elder

Bichon, probably because she wanted what you had.

3:41 pm

redturtlehead

chapel Hill, NC. Most PhD's per capita than anywhere else in the US.

3:41 pm

bichon

When we sent in our prospectus for the hange in siding in windows we spelled it out and it was approved. She misread our plan. Anyway, our house looks great. To show you how dumb the BOD is, we picked the color of our siding to be "Terra otta". Would you believe they didn't know Terra otta was an earth ollor.

3:41 pm

sanskitties

oh ok

3:41 pm

westford

we're getting our house painted soon and we are having a hard time deciding I really like grey with black shutters and white trim but the house next door is that

3:41 pm

redturtlehead

but I dont live there, in about a month I hope to not be a property owner there.

3:42 pm

bichon

You sold your house red? ongrats.

3:42 pm

redturtlehead

Ok, i am going to cheat and down coffee prior to gym....BRB.

3:42 pm

bichon

*congrats

3:42 pm

sanskitties

i lived in NC for a year, could not take it, moved back to Ca

3:43 pm

bichon

CA to NC is a big change

3:43 pm

sanskitties

Statesville, most Clue clux clan members anywhere, not a nice legacy

3:44 pm

sanskitties

yes big adjustment from So Cal

3:45 pm

bichon

Chapel Hill's probably a more enlightened part of the state though. BBQ's great in NC though

3:45 pm

sanskitties

I have heard that as well.

3:47 pm

bichon

Charlotte's nice too, I've heard. Pretty cosmopolitan.

3:47 pm

Ohio now, Columbus

3:49 pm

something about Texans though super nice people

3:53 pm

sanskitties

yes they are

3:53 pm

bichon

Probably different from New England. I grew up in NYC and people were very outgoing and friendly. In NE, they are more reserved. Hard to get used to.

3:55 pm

westford

true bichon they call you blow ins if you weren't born there even if you've been in the same neighborhood for 20 years

3:55 pm

suefrad625

na6 please

3:55 pm

redturtlehead

Definitely my experiencein New Hampshire, though the people Iworked with were great.

3:55 pm

westford

sick to your stomach

3:55 pm

redturtlehead

And the patients ecepting the meth heads were very very tough.

3:56 pm

bichon

I don't think it's that. People are just more reserved. IN NYC everyone knew everybody's business and weren't reluctant to start up conversations with strangers

3:56 pm

lynxxx

na6 when you feel like vomiting

3:56 pm

sanskitties

In texas they call you "blow in"?

3:56 pm

westford

no in New England

3:56 pm

redturtlehead

Sans I thnk you will find texans welcoming.

3:57 pm

sanskitties

Oh OK, got me worried, had a similar issue in NC, they just kept saying "you aint from around here are you",

3:57 pm

sanskitties

Made me feel like an alien, lol

3:57 pm

suefrad625

cant believe I didnt have that one, and had the other around it

3:59 pm

bichon

I think you have to be born saying y'all to fit in some places in the South

4:02 pm

redturtlehead

Well in a lot of NC, they say it but it means nothing.

Message just received from Sandy in West Australia.............................
.....................Thanks for your concern, I haven't been on babble because I can't turn on my computer (bummer)!
Nicky has had the op three weeks ago now (i'm sending this from my mum's computer) and finally she seems to be turning the corner.
She has been in a lot of pain and that is starting to subside at last. She is still sleeping on the couch and has been somewhat grumpy! I am soldiering on as usual. Please tell everyone that all is well and I am getting my computer fixed as soon as possible - haven't had time with looking after Nick! We won't know whether the op will work for a while yet , but the surgeon said that it went as well as could have been hoped for.
Love to you all and hope to be playing again soon!
Sandy

8:58 pm

JBV

really?

8:58 pm

Trifioso

I think I am rooting for the home schooled kid...

8:58 pm

JBV

the kids are getting smarter and smarter so they have to come up with these weird foreign foods, place names, etc - it's really exotic

8:58 pm

Scrabbler

Why is this done to middle schoolers and not done with high schoolers or college kids? These words are so tough and obscure!

8:59 pm

stidmama

YES!!!! NBT! I am so good!

8:59 pm

Trifioso

woo hooooo stid!

8:59 pm

JBV

they study from a list, scrabbler, or read the dictionary, so middle schoolers are the right age for that

8:59 pm

Trifioso

diocele?

8:59 pm

JBV

college kids would not have the discipline

8:59 pm

stidmama

I have often wondered the same thing, Scrabbler -- you would think an adult spelling bee, or at least college level, might be a fun thing to do.

8:59 pm

herinfernallady

back to facebook and such. lurking again.

8:59 pm

stidmama

why is that the right age in particular, JBV?

9:00 pm

stidmama

are the brains just already in "memorize" mode?

9:00 pm

JBV

i meant about the discipline and single-mindedness, stid

9:00 pm

Trifioso
