joshuavorbis

or san demus

1:26 am

gremlinn

yeah, I would guess it's not South Dakota.

1:26 am

westford

it is flosie Beth won't be going with him not enough time to give notice at work but he'll be able to see Wendy and Tom while he's out there

1:26 am

1:27 am

rururocks

Lodge @ Torrey Pines west

1:27 am

dart001

1:27 am

Douglas

I did, but the Chatterbox only had wifi, not a computer, so when my computer died, the internet became harder to get to, especially at Prime Babble time

1:27 am

westford

I see ruru I know they're particular in that part of San Diego lol

1:27 am

rururocks

1:27 am

1:32 am

rururocks

1:33 am

herinfernallady

nope is ralf

1:33 am

westford

sounds very British

1:33 am

rururocks

rolf is big in Berkeley

1:33 am

jillibus

1:33 am

rururocks

rolfing is like massage

1:33 am

rururocks

1:33 am

lynxxx

rolf - def is to vomit here

1:34 am

Douglas

yay jilli!

1:34 am

gremlinn

ralph means vomit too

1:34 am

herinfernallady

Just talking to the b.f about the joys of cooking and opening a new jar of tomato paste and it was green under the lid not good

1:34 am

jillibus

isn't rold a kind of severe massage too?

1:34 am

westford

oh no herin throw it out

1:34 am

jillibus

*rolf, I mean

1:34 am

Douglas

If preempt is a word, why isn't empt a word?

1:35 am

westford

1:35 am

rururocks

(think you mean "rolled" jilli..lol)

1:35 am

jillibus

good question, douglas

1:35 am

gremlinn

why isn't tzel?

1:35 am

westford

I just now realized that Douglas is Doug

1:35 am

westford

I'm slow

1:35 am

dart001

if disgruntled is a word..how come gruntled isn't

1:36 am

Douglas

gruntled actually is a word, meaning contented

1:36 am

westford

all good questions

1:36 am

jillibus

isn't it?

1:36 am

gremlinn

If I can realize something, why can't I alize it?

1:36 am

rururocks

In Oakland it is datgruntled

1:36 am

jillibus

how about shevelled?

1:36 am

lynxxx

gruntled doesn't sound like a word for content or happy!

1:36 am

mixi6

hapless is without hap?

1:36 am

westford

as in I shevelled my walk?

1:37 am

jillibus

true, lynxxx

1:37 am

rururocks

he shevelled up and shrank away?

1:37 am

mixi6

my walk needs you help westford.

1:37 am

jillibus

no, west

1:37 am

westford

I went to school with a guy named Hap I miss him

1:37 am

rururocks

you see him less now?

1:38 am

jillibus

maybe it's hevelled

1:38 am

westford

I do ruru I'm hapless

1:38 am

rururocks

the haps and haps not

1:38 am

westford

be right over mixi

1:39 am

Douglas

There seems to be some disagreement on gruntled. Cecil Adams sez "Gruntle" is an old dialect word meaning "to grumble." So "disgruntled" means you're really grumbling.

1:39 am

westford

his name was Harold

1:39 am

mixi6

I still have several inches of that white stuff on my walk. Thanks Westford.

1:39 am

jillibus

doug, wouldn't it mean NOT grumbling?

1:39 am

rururocks

sends Keith Richards over to mix's house

1:40 am

rururocks

my father's name was harold

1:40 am

Douglas

OTOH, Merriam Webster defines gruntle as : to put in a good humor <were gruntled with a good meal and good conversation â€” W. P. Webb>

1:40 am

dart001

harold rocks?

1:41 am

mixi6

Thanks for the help westford and ruru. - Mixi

1:41 am

Douglas

Normally, Cecil Adams is an unimpeachable source on these kind of things, but I'm going to have to go with Merriam-Webster

1:42 am

jillibus

me too, doug

1:42 am

Douglas

*these kinds of things*

1:42 am

westford

I don't think I've ever heard the word without dis

1:43 am

gremlinn

disturbing

1:43 am

rururocks

I haven't turbed in a long time

1:44 am

westford

lol

1:44 am

mixi6

lol

1:44 am

gremlinn

turbing isn't good for you anyway

1:45 am

rururocks

then there should be a tur-ban?

1:45 am

jillibus

but my Oxford says "to grumble, murmur, complain."

1:45 am

gremlinn

tur-ban banter?

1:45 am

rururocks

murmur? is like gruntling?

1:46 am

Douglas

That's the same meaning Cecil Adams referenced

1:46 am

jillibus

Cecil must have consulted Oxford.

1:46 am

2:06 am

lynxxx

How sad Dart. You wonder in hind sight if you do the right thing by beloved pets

2:06 am

dart001

can't type all of a sudden lol

2:06 am

westford

they seem to know when it's time to go don't they?

2:07 am

lynxxx

They do, we don't always pick up on it.

2:07 am

dart001

we almost think if we had to do it over again... maybe we wouldn't have done the medicine route....think that caused her not to eat....she would have had a better life for longer without I think

2:08 am

jillibus

yes, and we don't want them to :(

2:08 am

westford

it would probably have affected her heart and she would have gone faster

2:08 am

jillibus

hypo or hyper, dart? Most cats (including my Susie) get hyper

2:09 am

dart001

not sure of the spelling...they gave her a blood test and said she was borderline.....we were trying to nip it before it progressed

2:10 am

jillibus

westford

gj jilli !!

2:12 am

westford

not sure if it's called that in cats too

2:13 am

dart001

had to give her prednisolone (a pink syrup) and crush up a half pill into something else...she would hear us open the med. bottle and run the other way

2:13 am

westford

they are so smart

2:14 am

dart001

thhen try to get rid of the stuff we gave her by not swallowing etc

2:14 am

jillibus

Susie's meds came in the form of little chewy treats which she really liked :)

2:14 am

westford

that makes so much more sense jilli

2:15 am

lynxxx

BBL dinner is here

2:15 am

westford

we've tried crushing pills and mixing it with food and somehow the food is gone and the fragments of pill remain

2:16 am

jillibus

There was another kind I was told about but didn't need -- a sort of ointment you put behind their ears so that they would get it on their paws and lick it off

2:16 am

dart001

she had a nasal feeding tube in for a little while to build up her weight...before it got bad...but had to have a thing on her head so she wouldn't pull out the tube...she hated it and so did we

2:16 am

jillibus

oh, that does sound rather extreme, dart!

2:17 am

westford

oh dart poor her and poor you

2:18 am

westford

3:39 am

lynxxx

hi Gort & Ruby

3:40 am

rubyfoo

the australian contingent arrives....

3:40 am

gortmold

hey ruby; lickety is the st bernard of the babble world - just when you think it's all over and you're about to succumb to blank misery, he trots up with something life-giving

3:41 am

gortmold

hey lynx

3:41 am

lynxxx

How are you Gort, you have been MIA for a while

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I've tried, but I can't seem to get the clues on my screen at the same time as my words, so I'm trapezing without a net!

3:42 am

gortmold

still waiting for my big op but i have been travelling with work and holidays and wot-not, how bout u?

3:43 am

gortmold

gonna have to restart - lickety won't refresh, see you in a mo

3:43 am

lynxxx

Nothing much happens with me - it's wonderful!. Big Op?

3:44 am

lynxxx

Ruby - have you emailed Lickety for a copy of Expert? Using that may solve your problem

3:45 am

gortmold

i can't imagine a peaceful life...they're taking my dodgy ol' uterus out and hopefully replacing it with something nice and useful like...ohh, let me see...a snow-cone machine

3:45 am

rubyfoo

aha.1 I'll have to do that!

3:46 am

rubyfoo

good luck with that, gort, and btw, I love the chinglish sign!!!

3:46 am

gortmold

thanks ruby

3:46 am

lynxxx

mmm 6 weeks holiday at least. Sounds like you could do with some bed rest. Don't hurry back to work!

3:47 am

gortmold

work is very nice and flexible with me, it's the kiddies that aren't!

3:47 am

rubyfoo

can you play babble in bed? the best of both worlds!

3:47 am

gortmold

absolutely ruby!

3:48 am

lynxxx

kiddies...yours? how old are they

3:48 am

gortmold

i also have uncommonly nice friends who are already making me stashes of dinners in preparation

3:48 am

rubyfoo

and no cooking! yay for no cooking!

3:48 am

gortmold

i have a 4yo and a 7yo; they also do not know the meaning of a peaceful life

3:49 am

rubyfoo

you've heard of puppy uppers and doggie downers.....

3:49 am

gortmold

i haven't - are they some kind of canine sedative that you can give to kids?

3:49 am

rubyfoo

no sugar for them for the duration....plenty of warm milk and puddings to make them sleepy

3:50 am

lynxxx

I am sure the 7yo can be cajoled into being a good 4yo lookerafterer

3:50 am

gortmold

lol, right on ruby, you should right raising kiddies manuals

3:50 am

gortmold

write

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I was being facetious, but I had a friend who was prescribed paregoric for her babies (she had 2 under 2) and she used to take it so she didn't care! lol

3:51 am

rubyfoo

of course she won the lifetime mother-of-the-year award!

3:52 am

gortmold

shame; someone should turn that you tube video into reality - Kid-be-stoned with special prodding stick to test for vitals

3:52 am

rubyfoo

I nursed my son for 8 months and, in those days, nobody said not to, so I used to drink a pint of Guinness (to make milk) and he slept through the night at one week!!

3:53 am

gortmold

LOL, atta-girl ruby, you did yourself, your son and the universe a favour!

3:53 am

rubyfoo

he grew up all right even barely drinks, so I guess it didn't hurt him

3:54 am

gortmold

mmm...guinness... it's like mother's milk to me

3:55 am

rubyfoo

me, too, still.....

3:55 am

gortmold

with the goodness of 3 kinds of alcohol and vitamin black, you can't go wrong

3:56 am

rubyfoo

for sure

3:57 am

gortmold

are you still with us lynx?

3:57 am

rubyfoo

my chat put her to sleep!

3:57 am

rubyfoo

boring ruby

3:58 am

gortmold

was all that warm milk and pudding and guinness

3:58 am

lynxxx

yep, half watching the box and staring fruitlessly at the grid

3:58 am

rubyfoo

lol

3:58 am

rubyfoo

any ideas for the z?

3:58 am

gortmold

what's on the box tonight?

3:58 am

gortmold

z + woof

3:59 am

gortmold

american woof

3:59 am

rubyfoo

how do you say that in French?

3:59 am

rubyfoo

ty!

3:59 am

gortmold

wieuff

3:59 am

rubyfoo

ooph!!

3:59 am

lynxxx

watching the Steven Fry show on his, and others, bipolar etc

4:00 am

gortmold

oh yes, that's re?ally interesting, isn't it

4:00 am

gortmold

imagine i put that ? at the end of the thought

4:00 am

rubyfoo

in australia, are they big fans of psychotropic drugs, like here?

4:00 am

lynxxx

It is, a good insight

4:01 am

loredana

hi there Babblers

4:01 am

rubyfoo

my md even writes scrips for them for my dog!

4:01 am

gortmold

hey lore

4:01 am

lynxxx

I believe so Ruby

4:01 am

rubyfoo

hello lore

4:01 am

lynxxx

Lore!

4:01 am

gortmold

i think we just prescribe guinness here ruby

4:01 am

loredana

got some leave so might see me sometimes

4:01 am

rubyfoo

I give my autistic dog prozac and it helps him a lot

4:02 am

loredana

Hi there Lynxxx ans Stewart

4:02 am

rubyfoo

that might work for him, too

4:02 am

gortmold

LOL, you have an autistic dog?!

4:02 am

gortmold

how can you tell?

4:02 am

lynxxx

That WILL be nice. How have you been keeping Lore?

4:03 am

loredana

need to sleep for a week which I have nearly done and do some chilling contemplating new horizons lynxxx

4:03 am

rubyfoo

since we got him, at 4 months, he was exceedingly timid, wouldn't make eye contact, was afraid of his bowl, and didn't want to be touched. I diagnosed him and read a book on autism by Temple Grandin, and she suggest Prozac for people. It really helps him

4:04 am

gortmold

good golly

4:04 am

loredana

dives into grid its been so long hope i remember how to babble lol

4:04 am

lynxxx

Lore -oh?! I was just going to say you must have been doing that job for at least a year now. Moving out of that profession?

4:04 am

rubyfoo

now he makes soulful eye contact, lets me pet him, is a nice part of the household but, unfortunately, is still afraid of his bowl and I have to hand-feed him. dopey me!

4:04 am

gortmold

so you love him unconditionally?

4:05 am

rubyfoo

yes, and since we have two chows (ruby is the one in my icon), the female helps care for him, opens doors for him etc.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

his is big and black, Max

4:06 am

rubyfoo

I don't know why, but I'm partial to grids with c's in them

4:07 am

gortmold

fair enough - partial to pyschotic pooches and grids with cs; there's no accounting for taste, said the old lady as she kissed the donkey

4:08 am

rubyfoo

sounds like the punchline for a great joke!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

there was really no choice with Max; if we had sent him back to the Canadian breeder, she would have put him down.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

and he is endlessly gentle and sweet

4:10 am

gortmold

i once had a dopey dalmation who tried to eat a hedgehog

4:11 am

rubyfoo

picking stickers out for a week?

4:11 am

gortmold

and even tho the spines were poking thru his cheeks painfully, Punch the Daft Pooch refused to relinquish his spikey meal

4:12 am

gortmold

he went on to have a dramatic but ignoble future eating the neighbour's pedigree cats

4:12 am

rubyfoo

I like dopey dogs, wouldn't want to have one who was too smart and tried to run the house

4:13 am

rubyfoo

sounds like a great dog!

4:13 am

gortmold

and finally coming to an untimely but wryly humorous death plunging over a cliff after a seabird

4:13 am

rubyfoo

oh my!

4:13 am

gortmold

he was an awesome idiot of a dog who lived (and died) for the chase

4:14 am

lynxxx

I shouldn't laugh - idiot dog! sounds like Oscar, an equally silly lab of a Babbler in the UK

4:14 am

gortmold

he loved to nibble on fluffly little kittens and got his jollies terrorising squirrels

4:14 am

rubyfoo

I used to have a cat who tried to hunt birds from behind the glass doors and would repeatedly plan to leap and then crash into the glass. Did I say repeatedly? lol

4:14 am

gortmold

he tested the boundaries of unconditional love (but he didn't find them...aww)

4:15 am

gortmold

Lol ruby

4:15 am

rubyfoo

imagine life without cats and dogs....bleak indeed!

4:16 am

gortmold

yes you should laugh lynx, i do, otherwise how can i live with being in the only family whose dog committed suicide?

4:16 am

oodleberry

salut ruby

4:16 am

oodleberry

hi gort

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I once cat-sat a Siamese who committed suicide chasing a pigeon from the 9th floor apartment window!

4:17 am

gortmold

hey oodle

4:17 am

rubyfoo

bonjour oodle

4:17 am

rubyfoo

we are talking about animal-suicides

4:17 am

gortmold

ahh, thank you ruby, i feel better now

4:17 am

rubyfoo

she also used to lurk above doorways and jump on our heads - charming!

4:18 am

gortmold

is the fa7 compound?

4:20 am

oodleberry

um don't know if you are making these up or are they real... don't seem to be those aminals were really stupid

4:20 am

rubyfoo

they just lose their minds with the thrill of the hunt!

4:21 am

gortmold

i could never make up anything as daft as Punch the Pooch

4:21 am

lynxxx

no Gort, latin plural of the fa6.30

4:21 am

gortmold

ook, thanks lyn, is the fa6 a normal word?

4:22 am

lynxxx

wow thanks, another look at that lead to an 8!

4:22 am

lynxxx

fa6 its the board under gutters I think

4:22 am

rubyfoo

ty lynxx, got the 6 but can't imagine the plural - no latin here - and an 8??

4:23 am

gortmold

mmm...something like eaves that starts with fa...mmm

4:23 am

lynxxx

latin plurals, usually a , sometimes e or i

4:23 am

lynxxx

fa**** board

4:24 am

lynxxx

the 8 ends with past tense of consumed

4:24 am

rubyfoo

ty ty lynx

4:25 am

lynxxx

fa & ****tic nerve = pain in thigh

4:26 am

gortmold

thanks lyn, got em

4:26 am

oodleberry

going back to bed

4:26 am

lynxxx

4:26 am

4:26 am

gortmold

nighty night oodle

4:27 am

rubyfoo

gd night, oodle, hope the dog and cat suicides didn't depress you!

4:27 am

rubyfoo

I got the 6 and the 8 but can't figure out the plural, I'll keep trying

4:28 am

gortmold

add 2nd vowel to the 7 ruby

4:28 am

rubyfoo

4:28 am

rubyfoo

4:29 am

4:30 am

rubyfoo

4:30 am

gortmold

4:34 am

lynxxx

do tell

4:34 am

gortmold

while it was still on the vine, i scratched "hi Ted" into it's skin...

4:35 am

gortmold

months later, he thought a miracle had occurred when he plucked a personalised passionfruit with his name in passion-flesh

4:35 am

lynxxx

and it grows and scars over?

4:35 am

gortmold

that's exactly what it does lynx

4:36 am

lynxxx

I'll try that when my baby vive gets big enough

4:36 am

lynxxx

vine

4:36 am

gortmold

i had to fess up before he started a new passionfruit-worshipping religion

4:37 am

gortmold

do you have a signature passionfruit dish?

4:38 am

lynxxx

oh yes, cut in half, with teaspoon scoop out flesh and tip onto vanilla ice-cream, then eat. Does that count?

4:38 am

gortmold

lol, yup, that counts

4:39 am

lynxxx

6:23 am

Anniebrook

anyone want a za4 of coffee?

6:23 am

Uneaixoise

but trif, I was totally addicted to Monty Python -- does that count? :-)

6:23 am

Trifioso

hmmm. I was expecting something much more metal and ornamental, like a turkish kind of thing....but hey.

6:23 am

Trifioso

oui, bien sur, une

6:24 am

Trifioso

btw, secondo got a nice big A in French this term. huzzah!

6:24 am

Anniebrook

yay for secondo

6:25 am

Uneaixoise

here ya go, trif: http://tinyurl.com/yajxobg

6:25 am

Trifioso

I suppose I should have said "sympa!" or something like that....

6:25 am

Uneaixoise

kudos to secondo!!

6:25 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

6:26 am

Trifioso

yup. thank une. I want to go get coffee off some roach coach now SO badly, and make a point of asking the guy for a za4.....that should be good for a larf

6:26 am

Uneaixoise

teehee

6:27 am

Trifioso

I know this makes me sound like SUCH a word nerd, but I really, really like knowing the right names for things like that.

6:27 am

Uneaixoise

ok, off to nuke some coffee!!

6:27 am

Trifioso

put it in a za4!

6:28 am

Anniebrook

just ask for a large za4, no sugar

6:28 am

Uneaixoise

LOLOL

6:28 am

Uneaixoise

today's the Big Thaw -- pups can wait to pee on something they can smell!

6:28 am

Trifioso

annie, if you order "coffee regular" near you, what do you get?

6:28 am

Uneaixoise

ok, coffee well nuked

6:29 am

Anniebrook

milk and sugar

6:29 am

Trifioso

just one sugar?

6:29 am

Anniebrook

usually 2 spoonfuls

6:30 am

Trifioso

I had this discussion over the weekend with some folks at church, who moved to boston recently and were so surprised to find that "coffee regular" changes in different regions of the country.

6:30 am

Uneaixoise

were you ladies here when i announced that our soup kitchen donations from Whole Foods are really going upscale?

6:30 am

Trifioso

Yes, I think milk 2 sugars is the custom in boston, as well.

6:30 am

Trifioso

no, but wow, une!

6:30 am

Uneaixoise

Friday I picked up the usual bags of bread . . . plus swiss chard and raspberries!!!

6:30 am

Anniebrook

No, Une I was not. That is great

6:31 am

Trifioso

pinkies out at the soup kitchen!!!

6:31 am

Uneaixoise

it definitely pays to befriend Tyrone in produce :-)

6:31 am

Anniebrook

Whole Foods has the greatest dinner rolls.

6:31 am

Uneaixoise

indeed, trif!

6:31 am

Uneaixoise

Whole Foods has great bread, period -- esp. when it's free!!

6:31 am

Trifioso

btw, annie, I am learning to make bagels. they will never compete with NYC bagels, but it is fun. I hear it is the water in NYC that makes the bagels so amazing

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

NYC water is delicious

6:32 am

Trifioso

what a wonderful blessing it must be to offer fresh fruits and the chard to the folks at the soup kitchen.

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

if i lived there I would never buy bottled water

6:32 am

Anniebrook

"They" say it is the water.

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

it is, trif, it is!!

6:33 am

Uneaixoise

Tyrone had a huge box of grapes for me but his supervisor came by and made snarky comments about "you're not supposed to give it away if we could still sell it"

6:33 am

Anniebrook

Fresh fruit in a soup kitchen is a blesssing, I agree. God bless Whole Foods.

6:33 am

Uneaixoise

but we'll get around that, I'm sure!

6:34 am

Trifioso

our youth group at church did an amazing weekend food experience thing, and one of the things they did was to have to go shopping with the same amount of money that a family on public assistance receives. ALL the kids noticed that fresh anything was just not in that budget. prepared, dried, easy fix....

6:34 am

Uneaixoise

Annie, what the produce guys have told me is basically "first come first served' -- so Friday I was there at 7:00am!!

6:35 am

Uneaixoise

that's so true, trif -- and really sade

6:35 am

Uneaixoise

*or sad!

6:35 am

Anniebrook

Une, You are wonderful. Everything you do is with a full heart.

6:36 am

Uneaixoise

far from it, Annie -- but it's very fulfilling to see this Whole Foods relationship developing

6:36 am

Uneaixoise

and it all started when one of my daughter's friends struck up a conversation with the lady in charge of their bakery

6:36 am

Uneaixoise

ya never know

6:36 am

Anniebrook

Une, Make Tyrone your bestest friend..he will be blessed too.

6:37 am

Trifioso

une, there was a great interview on NPR this weekend about people like Tyrone and the bakery lady, who are sort of a new underground movement helping others in an outside the box fashion.

6:37 am

Anniebrook

Une, do you know what they do with the soups that are left? Do they donate the soups?

6:38 am

Uneaixoise

don't know about their execs, but my experience is that the people "on the floor" in the various depts are really HAPPY to help feed the hungry!

6:38 am

Trifioso

hold on, let me see if I can find a link for you...brb

6:38 am

Uneaixoise

oohhh, tx, Trif, I'll look that up

6:38 am

Uneaixoise

annie, don't know re prepared foods but I've had my eye on the "hot bars" from Day One . . . we shall see!

6:39 am

Uneaixoise

and David the egg guy gave me 3 dozen eggs -- plan on hitting him up for more! LOL

6:39 am

Uneaixoise

hardboiled eggs are VERY popular

6:40 am

Anniebrook

and lots of protein..do the same people frequent the soup kitchen every day?

6:41 am

Anniebrook

In this weather a hot meal can save a life.

6:41 am

Uneaixoise

mostly yes, but of course it's seasonal too -- some difference in the summer when lots of guys come here for summer construction work

6:43 am

Uneaixoise

Annie, our program director now has such a personal connection to a lot of these guys, it's pretty funny when she's riding downtown with friends to attend shows at the performing arts center -- and there are often homeless guys waving and smiling at the street corners! LOL

6:43 am

Trifioso

une, I can't find it to save my life, but I am still looking...

6:44 am

Anniebrook

It must be gratifying to her to be acknowledged by people you have helped.

6:46 am

Uneaixoise

it is, Annie -- and she's just such a cool person . . .

6:46 am

Uneaixoise

very down to earth -

6:48 am

Uneaixoise

ok, gotta go -- wonderful chatting -- BBL :-) *poof*

6:49 am

Trifioso

Une, I found it! Geesh, had to dig....http://marketplace.publicradio.

6:49 am

Uneaixoise

ooohhh, thanks so much, trif!!!!

6:49 am

Anniebrook

6:50 am

Trifioso

okay, need to drop tertiare off - she got a little lie in this morning....mondays are VERY hard when you are 10....lol

7:03 am

good day all

7:03 am

Anniebrook

I mentioned it before about my friend who was mugged and thrown to the ground and her knee was broken. She is now in a Rehab center and I am going to bring her some clothing now. See you all later, bye dear babblers. (Hi Sprite)

I hope she will recover inside and out, Annie

7:43 am

rubyfoo

I think your weather is wetter than ours, sprite, at least this year

7:43 am

sprite

yeah, too bad part of us needs to stay above the surface

7:44 am

rubyfoo

here, it's all on a slant

7:44 am

redturtlehead

the getting out is the absoloute worst.

7:44 am

we have had an uncommon amount of snow so far this winter. It is the kind of winter that some nostalgic songs tell about.

7:45 am

o-o

fa 6, 7, 8 refer to connective tissue or architecture features ... to carpenters, perhaps the board underneath the roof overhang

7:45 am

redturtlehead

Yes, indeed. In a way I think its great because we really have needed the rain...and the snow pack for some places is going to be very very good.

7:45 am

red: oh yes! especially when you didn't put your towel right at the water edge.

I am hating the swimming lately because I gained a good amt of weight and I look bad in the swim suit, and of course everyone else is a real athelete training in Florida for the winter...

7:47 am

redturtlehead

but since I can not run, it is an excersise in humiliation and good will!

7:47 am

sprite

why would you look bad because you are not slim? Wtg on the swimming and be proud of yourself.

7:48 am

hego

Hello All

7:48 am

redturtlehead

It's not attractive Sprite. I guess if I was in better shape and still heavy, but, when I had an injury I let things go alot.

7:48 am

sprite

hi hego

7:48 am

redturtlehead

Hi Hego!!!!

7:48 am

o-o

hello, hego

7:49 am

strange to hear of swimming right now.

7:50 am

I really wish the whole focus on being slim as the only way to be attractive would go away. You are Rubenesque!

7:50 am

z?

7:50 am

hego

Let's hear it for Rubens

7:50 am

redturtlehead

No Sprite, I am not- actually. I am just overweight. It's bad for my health. My BP has gone up, I am not at a healthy weight for me.

7:50 am

o-o

z + dog talk

7:50 am

rubyfoo

even in summer, our lake is 54 degrees! It astonishes me that people swim there.

jmitch, that is cool, I wonder how I will get that going in populatiry.

7:52 am

rubyfoo

I'm no swimmer, but when I lived in Miami, I could paddle around in the ocean which was probably more than 80 degrees. In the lake I would sink like a stone

7:53 am

she is a hero, BabbleRabble

7:53 am

hego

I don't get the polar bear thing. Brrr...

7:53 am

rubyfoo

hi hego

7:54 am

hego

Hi Rubyfoo

7:54 am

rubyfoo

you'd have to put a gun to my head -- and then, shoot me!

7:54 am

redturtlehead

I always wanted to o the polar bear thing, but have never quite gotten brave enough for it!

7:54 am

hego

Agreed.

7:54 am

o-o

do you have a lot of snow, ruby? Ice skate

7:54 am

redturtlehead

sprite how is terra?

7:55 am

sprite

hego: body is still rotten, but morale is definitely up. I promised myself a day in the sauna as soon as my new meds are on full dose and the oxycodone is down to zero. Amazing how even the thought lifts me up :)

7:55 am

rubyfoo

we've had snow off and on and it's really beautiful, but the lake at 54 degrees never freezes (maybe once in 1912!) but I can't skate anyway. Used to ski, though

7:55 am

hego

Hang in there Sprite.

7:56 am

sprite

red: just great! Tomorrow he will be exactly one year old. He is a delight, and a very happy dog.

7:56 am

In Miami I was a runner but got sick and had to give it up

7:56 am

Ruby was 7 last week and Max will be 6 on the 17th

7:56 am

I am re-starting my running again. It's humbling. I can run for about one minute at a time, to think I used to run 10-15 miles just a few months ago...

7:57 am

hego

You're awfully good at Babble, Sprite.

7:57 am

sprite

all february births!

7:57 am

rubyfoo

rth: the program I was on, started at age 42, enabled me to start at 2 1/2 minutes (on grass only) and build up from there, 3 x/ wk

7:57 am

redturtlehead

Teulu is March, I think he will be oh golly, 4...

7:58 am

o-o

walking in subzero temps can put a giddyup in your pace ... nature can get my attention.

7:58 am

sprite

red, you have been through a lot, of course your body and condition reflect that. Perhaps if you can start with that one minute and build up very slowly, you will be running 15 miles before you know it.

7:58 am

rubyfoo

by the end I could run for an hour and got over being asthmatic and actually gained some weight putting on muscle!

7:58 am

redturtlehead

Babble, do you do the walking with the poles?

7:58 am

o-o

yes

7:58 am

sprite

BabbleRabble, indeed. Both to men and dogs.

7:58 am

hego

I've done that.

7:59 am

redturtlehead

I met someone from Austin who does that. She really enjoys it...

7:59 am

rubyfoo

now I hv barely any muscles and get no exercise, very depressing

7:59 am

hego

With the poles. sometimes seems like more trouble than it's worth. lol

7:59 am

sprite

so you're a hero too, BabbleRabble. But we already knew that ;)

7:59 am

rubyfoo

my son lives in Austin and runs along the river, good except for the snakes

7:59 am

redturtlehead

i'm really trying to focus on just enjoying and not worrying about distance, or time...It's a bit liberating not to be training for anything.

8:00 am

hego

Ruby, can't you take walks?

8:00 am

rubyfoo

stretching first is critical!

8:00 am

rubyfoo

I've promised myself to start IF spring ever comes....

8:00 am

wtg red!

8:00 am

redturtlehead

the poles, apparently, if used correctly help with balance and also help with exhaustion.

8:00 am

hego

it will, Rube

8:01 am

rubyfoo

promises promises, but your rainbow gives me hope lol, ruefully

8:01 am

o-o

I have some balance issues because of meds ... the poles are a big help ... and work the arms and shoulders too

8:01 am

hego

I need them for balance also, on rough ground

8:02 am

hego

It's not because of meds, I'm just dizzy. :-)

8:09 am

Maybe it was the drug.

can't you say no, red?

8:09 am

rubyfoo

and be able to afford it!

8:09 am

redturtlehead

Ok must go clean for houseguest.

8:10 am

sprite

too true

8:10 am

hego

you are all too funny today. :-)

8:10 am

rubyfoo

I've started fending off houseguests; our first fewe years here we had visitors constantly

8:10 am

hego

red, weren't you listening?

8:10 am

Sally-catlover

Hi all, back from marmalade-making. Red - why not a trial to Babble? That should keep your guest busy.

8:10 am

rubyfoo

now I tell them to get a cab from the airport and I'll book them at a hotel -- mean nel strikes again!

8:11 am

hego

Excellent Sayy!

8:11 am

sprite

hi Sally

8:11 am

hego

uh Sally

8:11 am

rubyfoo

Sally! I've just revealed my dark side to the whole group!

8:11 am

hego

we love it Ruby!

8:11 am

Sally-catlover

You have ruby? You mean you cheat at Snap?

8:12 am

rubyfoo

hahah

8:12 am

hego

cruel but fair!

8:12 am

rubyfoo

ty hego

8:12 am

hego

yw

8:13 am

rubyfoo

and hego has promised me Spring....just holding on 'til then

8:13 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, if only! Winter is getting boring :-( Can imagine why Scandinavians have such depression with all that snow.

8:13 am

hego

we have to hold on to that thought.

8:14 am

Sally-catlover

The birds think it's spring.

8:14 am

sprite

it isn't the snow, but the lack of daylight, I think

8:14 am

rubyfoo

Binghamton NY, where I lived for a long time, was the worst. LONG cold winter and virtually no spring

8:15 am

Sally-catlover

I think so really Sprite.

8:15 am

sprite

I would go crazy if I lived in Scandinavia, that is for sure!

8:15 am

rubyfoo

my husband feeds the birds 3X/day and we have 100's in residence all winter. And the feeder is in front of the kitchen window so I can do "passive birdwatching"

8:16 am

rubyfoo

yes, it's the light thing. I try to read under bright light for an hour or two in the afternoon every day

8:16 am

sprite

I am less depressed now that I walk Terra every day.

8:17 am

Sally-catlover

Do you have one of those special daylight bulbs?

8:17 am

rubyfoo

no, just a regular one, but even that helps. I wonder if they have those here

8:17 am

rubyfoo

it's a good idea

8:17 am

sprite

not yet, but I want to get one. I could use it while reading.

8:17 am

rubyfoo

better than anti-depressants.....

8:18 am

Sally-catlover

I believe they work well. Sprite, how do you manage walking Terra when you have (I think) mobility problems?

8:18 am

rubyfoo

sprite: how many languages do you have?

8:18 am

hego

My house faces south and is filled with sunlight all day. I love it.

8:18 am

Sally-catlover

Poor Sprite, so many questions!

8:19 am

sprite

Very slowly and carefully, Sally. I have a walking stick and I built up the walking literally from less than one minute to a reasonable walk. And then I sit on a bench and let Terra play with other dogs.

8:20 am

sprite

not so many. English is ok, German and French not great but workable, a bit of japanese.

8:20 am

rubyfoo

have to go now, but this has been very enjoyable. Thank you all for brightening my day, even without a "daylight light".

8:21 am

sprite

bye rubyfoo

8:21 am

rubyfoo

when you read for pleasure, it's in which language?

8:21 am

Sally-catlover

I'm sure Terra gives you a good reason to go out. I understand the slowly and carefully because I had a major back problem (got medical retirement) and could hardly walk for about 6 months, have built things up as you say.

8:21 am

sprite

english. I love reading english.

8:21 am

Sally-catlover

Bye rubyfoo.

8:21 am

hego

bye Ruby, dear.

8:22 am

rubyfoo

bye all, will be back after dinner to glean a little more maybe, up to 94 which is amazing for me lol

8:23 am

sprite

I have a full invalidity benefit, for at least another year and a half again. And my new meds are accomplishing what none has for the last 14 years: they are lessening the pain in my pelvic bone.

8:23 am

sprite

fireflies, btw - anything I can help with before I go?

8:24 am

hego

that's really good Sprite

8:24 am

hego

YAYYY!!! Sprite!

8:24 am

hego

I'll muddle along, ty Sprite.

8:24 am

Sally-catlover

Yay for Sprite!

8:25 am

sprite

yes, it is a really good thing. Pain in hips and back is worsening without the oxycodone, but I will not take both. Will find another way to handle the pain that is not nerve-related.

8:26 am

hego

what are you taking?

8:26 am

Marmar

Hi all.

8:26 am

Marmar

Just stoping by for one minute. Sprite, great to see you.

8:26 am

hego

Hi marmar

8:26 am

sprite

gabapentine, or neurontin.

8:27 am

sprite

hi Marmar, likewise! How've you been?

8:27 am

Marmar

I just wanted to wish you alles gute for the new year. We're well, renovations still not finished but we can see light at the end of the tunnel now!

8:28 am

sprite

and I promise you, Marmar, it won't be another train! *hug*

8:28 am

Marmar

Hope not! wanted to share with you a good "find"

8:29 am

sprite

Alles gute auch for Dich und deine Familie

8:29 am

sprite

lol... fur, not for, ofcourse

8:29 am

sprite

what did you find?

8:29 am

Marmar

my doctor thinks I have Fibromyalgia, joint and muscle pain all over. I bought those MBT shoes and I notice an improvement.

8:30 am

sprite

darn, that is a rotten thing to have, Fibromyalgia. But wonderful those shoes make a difference. Let me google them, I haven't heard of them I think.

8:31 am

Marmar

You might want to research it a little on the web. They take getting used to, radically different than any other shoe you've worn but wonderful for muscles! You might benefit from them. Actually, I think everyone could benefit from them!

8:31 am

sprite

ah, I see! Will look into this for sure, thanks for sharing your 'find'!

8:32 am

Marmar

I have to get going. Love to all you babblers! Blessings too!

8:32 am

sprite

I see some dutch sellers are actually offering a lesson to get used to how to walk on them

8:32 am

hego

I have those shoes.

8:33 am

hego

Mine came with a cd

8:33 am

Marmar

(I've watched the tutorials multiple times and keep practicing) My CD was missing from the box hego!

8:33 am

sprite

what do you think of them, hego?

8:33 am

sprite

bye Marmar, big *hug* to you!

8:33 am

Marmar

Oh! I'm curious too hego.

8:33 am

hego

I don't quite know what to think

8:34 am

hego

They're comfy

8:34 am

hego

and do take some getting used to.

8:34 am

hego

I also have a lot of back and hip pain.

8:35 am

hego

I think they help a bit.

8:36 am

Marmar

I have more defined muscle tone in my legs after 4 weeks, I thought that was impossible at this point!

8:36 am

hego

are you walking with them?

8:36 am

Marmar

and walking up stairs is bearable now, some days I would make it to the top and then go cry, it hurt so much.

8:37 am

sprite

I will ask my physical therapist about them. Must be off now, but thanks a lot for this idea. Bye all, be well.

8:37 am

hego

awww that's awful

8:37 am

hego

Bye Sprite.

8:37 am

Marmar

I put them on in the morning, walk the dog, then leave them on while I do my daily stuff around the house and in the afternoon with the kiddos.

8:37 am

redturtlehead

Hego, they sell shoes similar to the MBT for a bit less....one made by Reebok, and also one made by Sketchers if you want to try them out...

8:37 am

Marmar

Bye Sprity!

8:37 am

redturtlehead

Marmar, I am glad it has helped you!

8:38 am

hego

I have the Sketcher ones Red, thanks

8:38 am

Marmar

The Sketchers have great review on the internet, MBT too. Thanks Red!

8:38 am

Marmar

I found a web site that offered some models of MBT at a deep discount.

8:38 am

Marmar

+reviewS+

8:39 am

redturtlehead

the mbt are the definite originals...

8:39 am

hego

God Bless internet shopping!

8:39 am

redturtlehead

:)

8:39 am

Marmar

My next step is a decent mattress, I'm fighting this on multiple fronts. And Amen! to internet shopping!

8:40 am

hego

Hallelujah!

8:40 am

Sally-catlover

All done. Must be off. Thanks for the nice chat everyone.

8:40 am

hego

bye Sally

8:41 am

Marmar

I do have to go now for real. Thanks for the chat friends! Bye bye.

8:41 am

redturtlehead

OK, now i am off again, to puzzle over this visitor problem. :(

I am wondering why other cities in Canada don't have winter carnivals like Quebec does... or is it a registered trade mark?

10:33 am

lbdawger

other parts of canada aren't as uhm...crazy? creative? cabin fevered? capitalistic? I'm just rambling here.

10:36 am

kje

does the carnival coincide with madri gras?

10:38 am

kje

mardi, not madri

10:40 am

oodleberry

http://www.carnaval.qc.ca/en/about/his
tory

10:41 am

oodleberry

yes that is from which it stems kje

10:41 am

kje

makes since then... catholic french catholic colony

10:42 am

oodleberry

so feb 3 is ash wednesday?

10:43 am

kje

wow, full of typos today... sense, and only one catholic needed

10:43 am

oodleberry

or is that in march

10:43 am

oodleberry

I editededed it in my head

10:43 am

kje

it changes every year, oodle, I would have to look up when it was this year, it has been in feb before, but usually more toward the end

10:44 am

oodleberry

you're right

10:45 am

kje

since I am neither french, catholic... or from new orleans, I have no idea - LOL

10:45 am

oodleberry

17 feb 2010

10:46 am

pippingeek

my friend just went down to new orleans to work for the season, so i know it's around the corner

10:46 am

kje

this grid seems easy today... down to 18 so far, and still can find them if I step away for a bit

10:46 am

pippingeek

interesting, kje, because this one is making me tear my hair out, i've only gotten 45

10:47 am

kje

funny how that goes pip... sometimes when others think it is easy, I can't see it at all

10:47 am

oodleberry

so mardi gras is the 16 the winter carnival is as you said centred around as wednesday and because it is of latin origin the really whoop it up before ash wednesday because it is 40 days of lent... fasting etc

10:48 am

pippingeek

it's only been an hour and i've been going about my wake-up stuff, but normally i am much quicker

10:48 am

kje

yep, same in new orleans, oodle... and big one in rio

10:49 am

kje

as a protestant, I find the concept fascinating.... let's sin a lot cuz we have to be good soon - LOL

10:49 am

oodleberry

this year though it ends three days before ash wednesday

10:50 am

kje

10 left... will list and get out of here, lots to do today

10:51 am

oodleberry

mardi gras isn't that just one day for festivities before ash wednesday? or is it several days before?

10:51 am

Boobear

hi everyone

10:51 am

kje

mardi gras is fat tuesday... but the festivities usually start about a week before and culminate on Tuesday

10:51 am

kje

in new orleans, the police literally sweep the streets at midnight and partying must stop

10:52 am

oodleberry

ok like here... but it is not a winter carnival there

10:52 am

kje

last ma6/24?

10:52 am

oodleberry

all? how about in the bars

10:52 am

kje

it is just called carnival

10:53 am

kje

bars close, all go home or get arrested

10:53 am

oodleberry

omg

the method to our madness was: get everything out of old house into new house -- somewhere, ANYwhere -- then we get things where they need to go on our own time.
what this ends up as: everything lives in the garage until we need it, then we HUNT it down -- searching for my phone charger last night was fun...

how's Melbourne settled down after the tournament?

3:39 pm

bojazz

*has

3:41 pm

lynxxx

It doesn't make such a huge impression here ('cept of you are a tennis fan). The Grand Prix has more impact - probably because of the noise - and because I am close to the area, the road closures

3:43 pm

Nancy Boy

Ugh, back, sorry for ignoring anyone. Computer hiccupped!

At the air force base. It was quite a while back but we lived on a little farm. The owner had the John Deere franchise in town. I would send warmth to you if it were at all possible.

4:57 pm

4:58 pm

KrisE

wouldn't it be nice to send weather where it's needed?

4:59 pm

It is 44 degrees here and 71 in the house.

4:59 pm

5:01 pm

Joanne123

fa6 please the second??

5:01 pm

bojazz

the 3rd Army is moving from Atlanta - we got them during the base closures & realignment thing

5:03 pm

bojazz

the John Deere dealer was run by the Boothe family - ring a bell?

5:03 pm

KrisE

I don't have it, Joanne...

5:03 pm

Joanne123

ok ty anyway

5:03 pm

oodleberry

bojazz you have been getting a lot of accidents... even for snow 'sledding' using anything they can get their hands on.

5:03 pm

KrisE - feel your pain lol

5:04 pm

Mr. Boothe passed away three years ago - his son is an attorney now - no more farm equipment

5:06 pm

stidgmere

Sorry to hear of Mr. Boothe's passing. Someday we want to get back to see the area. I imagine there are many more houses there now.

5:07 pm

oodleberry

some of these stories are amazing

5:07 pm

bojazz

more houses than we need! when thye announced the army was coming, the builders went crazy building - we probably have 500 new housing units for sale

5:08 pm

bojazz

the full army unit is not due til next year

5:08 pm

stidgmere

I never expected to find someone who really knew South Carolino on this chat. It is a small state and a world of its own.

5:09 pm

Joanne123

fa6 when putting siding on your house ..this is under the edges of the roof then latin

5:09 pm

stidgmere

Oh my, we already have the units in place here so no more building is needed. They surely have improved the houses on both bases recently.

5:09 pm

Joanne123

then more of it

5:09 pm

KrisE

thank you Joanne!

5:09 pm

oodleberry

you are in SC stid?

5:10 pm

bojazz

hey it gets worse. the government is going to build 600 new houses for the army folks - houses to rent, not for sale - and you wonder why the government is in debt

5:10 pm

Joanne123

very welcome

5:11 pm

stidgmere

No, I am in the NW of the US quite near the site of the Olympics. I don't wonder why the government is in debt. The right way, the wrong way, the Army way. Can you imagine all of the health care following the same guide lines?

5:11 pm

oodleberry

oh that's what I thought

5:12 pm

You can spell it Puyallup if you like. Can't sound it out and get the spelling you need on that one.

5:12 pm

bojazz

can i imagine? the government has never managed anything that wasn't over-priced and poorly managed - they think they can do health care?

5:13 pm

bojazz

got to empty dryer - brb

5:13 pm

stidgmere

It is a small world sometimes and other times it seems toooo big to get a handle on. Bojazz, you have a good mind!

5:15 pm

oodleberry

well when I git my butt up and git a ticket for the winter carnaval so I can get new pics and close pics of the castle

5:17 pm

stidgmere

Oddle, are you in Quebec? They have a winter carnival but I think Montreal has one also.

5:18 pm

oodleberry

as far as I know montral doesn't have one... so I was told but I guess qubeckers want to think they have the only one... although that's where it started... it is in its 54th year

5:21 pm

stidgmere

We want to go to Quebec in the spring. It looks lovely and we enjoy trying out our French on unsuspecting native speakers.

5:23 pm

oodleberry

hee hee well don't go to montreal because most likely they will surprise you in speaking english back to you... if you come to quebec city then you will meet more people who don't speak english

5:24 pm

oodleberry

yes that's why I have all the pics of the ice sculptures and I said it in my story in my profile

5:25 pm

stidgmere

We'll come to Quebec. I shall have to look up your profile. Mine is not so intresting because i don't know how to get the pictures small enough to be accepted or something.

5:26 pm

oodleberry

oh

5:26 pm

oodleberry

well come on... but hopefully I will get a job and I will stay longer but if not I am looking to move west

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

I keep trying pasta.

6:05 pm

pippingeek

i hate my life

6:06 pm

redturtlehead

Oh No Pippin.

6:06 pm

bojazz

not good pip

6:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh oh...

6:06 pm

pippingeek

my friend is in town and i just left her parents' house because they were having dinner (i declined their polite offer to share some with me) only to find that there is no food in this house for me, my parents have already eaten without me

6:07 pm

pippingeek

i love feeling like an unwelcome guest here

6:07 pm

redturtlehead

Pippin, this can be resolved with a call for pizza.

6:07 pm

jmcnrick

way ahead of you red

6:07 pm

jmcnrick

i just ordered pizza online before i came here

6:08 pm

pippingeek

no, i don't really do that, but i guess i'm going out for some crappy fast food

6:08 pm

redturtlehead

Ahhh jmc, you care to share with Pipping?

6:08 pm

jmcnrick

the pizza will be here in about 20 minutes pip!

6:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

no eggs in the house? that is my dinner tonight

6:09 pm

jmcnrick

hi all btw

6:09 pm

pippingeek

can't really use the kitchen because it's an open floorplan house and my dad will be sitting there watching me and he'll find it necesary to tell me all the ways i'm doing things wrong

6:09 pm

pippingeek

don't quite have the energy for that tonight

6:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh hell there is a z word

6:10 pm

pippingeek

TO, it is a za 4/12, if that helps

6:10 pm

bojazz

the Z is easier than the fa8

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty, it did

6:10 pm

pippingeek

with that info totally easy to monkey

6:11 pm

redturtlehead

I stayed with my parents for two months between missions once, it wasn't easy.

6:11 pm

jmcnrick

ty pip

6:12 pm

pippingeek

it's kind of like living alone in a strangers' house, except there's no rent and the strangers are extra judgmental

6:12 pm

jmcnrick

my poor son has to stay with me in between semesters but we actually do okay together

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

if bad why stay?

6:13 pm

redturtlehead

I found it only mildly annoying at times. My parents are really ok,

6:13 pm

pippingeek

i shouldn't complain, i am lucky to stay somewhere for free, but my folks and i don't get on terribly well and i'm only here still cause i dont have the funds to move yet

6:13 pm

redturtlehead

THe issue my Dad had was he wanted me to work, and I am not liscensed to work in that state at all... sooo.

6:13 pm

jmcnrick

he tells me his friends all say "how can you stand to live with your mom" and he says "we do fine" and then they ask "don't you miss having a place of your own" and he says "yes"

6:13 pm

pippingeek

i mean i could move, but i'm trying to go to nyc and not fall on my face, so saving is key

6:14 pm

redturtlehead

We did have some fun, and I really do feel closer to them after that extended vacation...

6:14 pm

pippingeek

but my folks apparently assume i'm going there to enjoy yet another failure, so that's a fun way to prepare for a move

6:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

they want you to succeed.

6:14 pm

pippingeek

i was hoping it might be good for us, and to some extent it's been good for me and mom, but dad is totally a lost cause

6:15 pm

jmcnrick

too bad pip

6:15 pm

pippingeek

no, to, i think they only want me to succeed on their terms, and so succeeding on my terms is sort of classed a failue anyway

6:16 pm

redturtlehead

Ahh there is the difference, since I had just come out of a war zone, my parents pretty much left me alone, and talked it up when we went anywhere (Small town).

6:16 pm

jmcnrick

i understand that pip, my in laws never understood why my husband wanted to be a criminal trial lawyer

6:16 pm

jmcnrick

they kept trying to get him to do something useful like teach!

6:17 pm

redturtlehead

funny jmc, isn't criminal law on occasion quite profitable? or am I wrong?

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

they prob can only see one way for you. soem folks are very convention and single minded. my paresnt agreed to college but thought i would be a teacher until married. that's what educated women did then.

6:17 pm

jmcnrick

occasionally but he wasn't into mob or white collar

6:17 pm

jmcnrick

he just wanted to help the average shlub

6:17 pm

redturtlehead

I watch too many of those Crime dramas jmc.

6:18 pm

pippingeek

so it was hard spending time with my friend's parents today, because they're well, nice, and supportive, and that kind of thing. most of the time i just ignore what i don't get at home, but some days it's hard

6:18 pm

jmcnrick

lol TO when I went to law school my great aunt asked if I shouldn't get a teachers certificate as a back up plan

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

you have to find it in yourself pip

6:19 pm

redturtlehead

Pippin, unfortunately your parents, are only people. they aren't programmed to be some sort of ideal people, and most make mistakes and regret more than they admit.

6:19 pm

jmcnrick

so do you have a goal besides NYC?

6:19 pm

pippingeek

and i don't like to complain because i get a lot of things other people don't have, but some days i just can't keep my mouth shut

6:19 pm

jmcnrick

are you still exploring the options?

6:20 pm

pippingeek

i know what i want to do when i'm there, i have a plan, i have a timeline, but it's hard to get my head straight till i get out of here and get my bearings there

6:21 pm

jmcnrick

do you know where you will be looking to live?

6:21 pm

pippingeek

brooklyn, most likely park slope or sunset park

6:21 pm

jmcnrick

that is where my niece just moved from NO

6:22 pm

pippingeek

nice

6:22 pm

jmcnrick

seems to be the happening place

6:22 pm

redturtlehead

so probably expensive for the moment.

6:22 pm

jmcnrick

no different kind of happening

6:23 pm

jmcnrick

it is where the young and hip and broke live

6:23 pm

redturtlehead

oh...

6:23 pm

pippingeek

it's way cheaper than manhattan, and i'm not looking at one of the pricey nabes in bkln

6:23 pm

redturtlehead

jmc the young hio and broke live, like in Buffalo....

6:24 pm

jmcnrick

my niece found her place through craigs list

6:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

do you want to be an actress ?

6:24 pm

jmcnrick

you can't be hip in Buffalo

6:24 pm

redturtlehead

you can be hip in Buffalo, they have an excellent Writing program...

6:24 pm

pippingeek

i plan to do that and do a lot of walking around the area looking for signs in windows, and asking friends - they say those are the 2 best ways to find places

6:25 pm

jmcnrick

lol red

6:25 pm

suefrad625

pippin are you in bklyn?

6:25 pm

pippingeek

ohhh, i had the best rib eye steaks :)

8:23 pm

lbdawger

used to be able to get it when i lived in Idaho. hard time getting it here...other than burger.

8:23 pm

welki

this was fresh from a friend of mine

8:24 pm

lbdawger

oooh, lucky you!

8:24 pm

welki

he must have waved a magic wand over it or something ... aged it perfectly, not too lean

8:24 pm

lbdawger

where'd he get it?

8:24 pm

welki

i've only been to one place in idaho (driving through, spent the night) and that was priest lake

8:25 pm

welki

rancher was culling a herd

8:25 pm

lbdawger

i used to live in Pocatello, and could get bison from the fort hall reservation.

8:26 pm

welki

i would have thought you could get bison in montana, too .. guess it depends on where you are

8:26 pm

welki

here, you can buy it in the grocery store

8:26 pm

welki

but can i get a decent bagel?

8:27 pm

torgone

Wow .. I was about to ask for ideas on what to do with bison ..

8:27 pm

lbdawger

not sure what a bison would cost here. I know there are a few ranches where you can help cull the herd. You can get mostly processed burger, but to get roasts or steaks...really expensive

8:27 pm

lbdawger

slow roast it, torg!

8:27 pm

welki

imagine that! guess we can STEER you in the right direction (i will quote your nyuk nyuks on that one)

8:29 pm

Ooh yeah .. I should put it in my famous pasta sauce ..
