better living over a bowling alley in town and being 2 min away from work and no cars
3:33 am

ive done the math again and again,with fuel ove 1 dollar a litre/4 dollars a gallon,any job more than 20 min away from home is a no go unless you clear 50 grand a year
3:34 am
lynxxx
I agree. We were lucky in that there were unrenovated houses round when we started out so managed to get into the right suburb at a good price.

herinfernallady
Crossie she married you because you are awesome
3:49 am
crosshair
she is at that magical age of 40,where life is over and you get stuff like this"do i look fat in this?" or "are gray hairs showing?" or the big one"do you think ill look as good as her in a dress like that?"

crosshair

4:06 am
crosshair

4:06 am
herinfernallady
I needed warm this week as mount washmore was getting too much
4:06 am
crosshair
you have to creep out slowly
4:07 am
rubyfoo
it's easy for me, the laundry room is next to the studio; I can just run in and out while playing
4:07 am
herinfernallady
the washing basket pile was getting close to the laundry ceiling. Of course everyday things were washed but not the big stuff
4:08 am
crosshair

4:08 am
herinfernallady

4:08 am
rubyfoo
I don't think my husband knows we have a laundry room
4:09 am
crosshair
4 loads should do it though
4:09 am
herinfernallady
we don't have a dryer.
4:09 am
Brookie
I have a couple loads to do but not enough quarters to do them! And too lazy to drive out and make change somewhere!

4:10 am
rubyfoo

4:10 am
rubyfoo

4:10 am
Brookie
Wash by hand?????
4:10 am
Brookie
Thanks for the clue, lynxxxx!
4:10 am
herinfernallady
I don't like them though. In winter I do use the laundry matt. Yes just the smalls Brookie
4:10 am
crosshair
crossy has a old wash board and a big cake of sunlight bar soap if you need it brooke:)))
4:11 am
lynxxx

4:12 am
crosshair
yup,went to the kazoo
4:12 am
Brookie
Sure, crossy, I'll drive three and a half hours north of Toronto for that... oh wait, I don't have quarters for the U.S. tolls!
4:12 am
herinfernallady
That reminds me of my dad in choir - the shepards wash their socks at night sitting round a tub, God sent down a bar of sunlight soap and they began to scrub.
4:12 am
crosshair
just get over the border brookie..we dont have tolls..yet
4:12 am
Brookie
The lack of quarters is really cramping my style.
4:13 am
crosshair
ill have breakfast waiting
4:13 am
Brookie
I'll do my best, crossy. I'll just follow the snoring...
4:13 am
Brookie
Aw, that's so sweet! Eggs benedict please, with extra hollandaise sauce.
4:14 am
herinfernallady
o i just had a thought. I could raid the commercial kitchen recipe book himself made
4:15 am
rubyfoo

4:15 am
herinfernallady
Loves Ruby
4:15 am

4:16 am
herinfernallady
Ruby is he il?
4:16 am
rubyfoo

4:16 am
crosshair

4:16 am
rubyfoo
no excuse!
4:17 am
herinfernallady
What is his drama Ruby?
4:17 am
Brookie
OK... I'll be right there, crossy!
4:17 am
crosshair
lol thought you might;))
4:17 am
Brookie
Ruby, if there's something he wants, can he get it himself?
4:19 am
Brookie
If anyone comes over here, I'll say, "There's some stale cereal in the pantry. Go get it yourself."
4:19 am
crosshair
if i called that much and demanded a bloody mary my wife would tell me to go do several impossible anotomical things to myself
4:19 am
herinfernallady
We just went shopping today. Brookie can you tell me what you have in the fridge?
4:20 am
herinfernallady
What sort of ceral is it?
4:20 am
Brookie
I have eggs (and yes I can make good eggs), and lots of jars of stuff that should be thrown out by now.
4:20 am
lynxxx
Rubys husband is a bit older than her and had heart issues late last year....oh yes...and is somewhat demanding
4:21 am
Brookie
Actually, I'm exaggerating. I've run out of stale cereal. At least there's milk here for the kids.
4:21 am
herinfernallady
You got bread?
4:21 am
Brookie
Rolls in freezer.
4:21 am
herinfernallady
no bread?
4:21 am
Brookie
Lynxxx, that explains a lot.
4:22 am
herinfernallady
You go raisins?
4:22 am
crosshair
this house comes to a grinding halt if there is not a variety of breakfast eats in the fridge and pantry
4:22 am
Brookie
No raisins. But lots and lots and lots of chocolate, which I'll be bringing over for crossy to give to his wife.
4:23 am
crosshair
we do not worry bout dinner much ,the main meal is breakfast..fill everyone up and kick them out the door
4:23 am
herinfernallady
Ok. Have you got any dried fruit? Craisins or such?
4:23 am
lynxxx
eggs, bread, cinnamon = french toast
4:23 am
Brookie
Herin, if you looked in my kitchen, you'd be appalled.
4:23 am
herinfernallady
:( Lynxx stole my idea
4:24 am
Brookie
Nada, nada, nada. But no exaggeration on the chocolate. There's an insane amount here.
4:24 am
Brookie
Herin, all great Australian minds think alike.
4:24 am
crosshair
mm reminds me,i better take a pond of bacon out of the freezer..brb..semi-poof
4:24 am
lynxxx
oops sorry Infernal (fruit?)
4:24 am
herinfernallady
Brook nothing is that bad you have food in there trust me. I am good at apocalyptic cooking.
4:25 am
Brookie
Oh, I'm okay with the situation. Plus it's just temporary. No biggie.
4:25 am
herinfernallady
Lynxx you can sneak fruit into french toast for kids to eat
4:25 am

5:57 am
crosshair
for example all the epic disaster books of the 60,s alway have some rugged guy always lighting 2 cigarettes at a time,one for him and one for the heroine
5:58 am
crosshair
and of course if a character is not white,it is pointed out again and again
5:59 am
crosshair
especially U.S authors of the time
5:59 am
Atalante
oh yes. I think these things are important to keep
5:59 am
crosshair
and turn of the century books are amazing
6:00 am
Atalante
a friend was doing a play in the west end a few years back, adn it was a period piece, and none of the actors were allowed to smoke even though the characters all smoked madly. it was very silly
6:00 am
crosshair
octamaroons and quadroons etc
6:00 am
o-o
beer bottles are important to keep? I could have a backyard beach if I melted the glass down
6:01 am
crosshair
if you have to read it or act it,be true to the original
6:01 am
crosshair
unless it is harmfull to your health
6:02 am
Atalante
or do something completely different, like modern versions of Shakespeare. Don't just gloss over bits
6:02 am
o-o
Of course this year's flood would wash it away.
6:03 am
crosshair
and tea is good in china br;))
6:04 am

but anyhoo,i should try to find a word or 2 here
6:06 am

good morning - waking up to a discussion of classic books! how interesting - did I see someone mention war and peace earlier? the greatest reading experience of my life!
6:11 am

I wonder why people see fit to imply I lie: http://tinyurl.com/yfor5xb

Hope you feel better soon, sprite .... time for me to move on

I fell in love with TOlstoy last summer - the man was a genius.
6:12 am
sprite
thanks BabbleRabble, all the best to you too
6:13 am
Atalante
I loved about half of it
6:13 am
sprite
JBV, what captured you about the book?
6:15 am
JBV
so much, sprite - each character was developed so you felt you knew each person - the physical descriptions of setting, even the battlefield scenes, you felt as if you were there
6:16 am
sprite
never read it and am wondering if I should. Definitely worth giving it a try, if I see your reactions :)
6:16 am
crosshair
well he did go into agonizing detail
6:16 am
JBV
there were two scenes in particular that were very moving - the death of Prince Andrei, very moving, as he lingers and finally expires, I felt as if I could feel his every breath
6:16 am
Atalante
he wrote beautifully. Utterly beautifully. If rather over-long-ly at times!
6:17 am
sprite
crossy, like Umberto Eco?
6:17 am
crosshair
it must be read in quiet times with no distractions
6:17 am
sprite
I can skim-read if necessary :)
6:17 am
JBV
and one funny one - the description of the birth of a baby from the father's perspective - the mother of course is undergoing agony, but the father is slowly going crazy and frantic with worry - reminded me of the scene in I Love Lucy where Fred and Ethel and RIcky leave for the hospital without Lucy
6:17 am
Atalante
no, umberto eco is detail-less compared to tolstoy!
6:18 am
JBV
yes I agree, crossy, I read it during the summer - when I had long peaceful stretches of time to immerse myself in the 19th century
6:18 am
sprite
ok then it is bad. But still worth a try.
6:18 am
sprite
lol yes I remember that scene.
6:19 am
Atalante
(but I do utterly adore Umberto Eco, I must say)
6:19 am

6:19 am

morgen inge
6:20 am
JBV
and I do not agree that it should be assigned to high schoolers - I think I needed my full life experience to really appreciate it
6:20 am
sprite
so do I, marvellous books. Some scenes could do with a bit of pruning, but the guy is a genius. Brilliant plots.
6:21 am
JBV
Umberto Eco is a semiotician - so I was introduced to him through my study of linguistics, then discovered his amazing novels
6:22 am
Atalante
Foucault's Pendulum was one of those utterly seminal books for me growing-up
6:23 am
sprite
I was impressed when I saw that in the movie they changed the opening scene with the deduction of the lost horse into the deduction of where the loo was. Very consistent with the behavioural approach.
6:23 am
sprite
typo guppy needed. Hi LoriP
6:25 am

looked up seminal and was a bit surprised until I found a meaning that fitted.

Atalante
lol sorry!
6:25 am
sprite
hi Nanette
6:26 am
sprite
why sorry, I learned something new. More than one even, because the first meaning was definitely not something you'd do with a book ;)
6:28 am
Atalante
lol yes, it's an odd word ... even I thought after I posted it and wondered for a moment if I'd said something very silly LOL
6:29 am
sprite
lol as far as I could see it was exactly what you meant to say. Just struck me as funny at first. Dutch girl with a dirty mind ;)
6:30 am
Atalante
there must be some strange etymologies in there somewhere!
6:30 am

6:40 am

he had the surgery on thurs. it went well. he was in a bit more pain than after the other one, so they kept him last night as well to help manage his pain. i expect to pick him up today, though. then we just wait for the results of what it was they removed (do you know how long they usually take to tell you that sort of thing?)
6:40 am
Scrabbler
Perhaps a week for the doc to get the pathology report. Maybe sooner.

hi Scrabbs
6:42 am
hurshy
nothing happened exactly. he had his gall bladder out in november and they saw a spot on his kidney during a scan, and they did lots more scans later but couldn't tell what it was so they decided to just take it out (it was only 1.4 cm) and see.
6:43 am
crosshair
they come back pretty fast results on that sort of thing
6:43 am
hurshy
they were able to do it laproscopically, which they also did with the gall bladder.
6:44 am
crosshair
oh good;0 not a great big cut then
6:44 am

hope Tucker is still doing well
6:44 am

The tissue has probably already been looked at but it takes time for the steps--dictation, transcription, then in mail to doc.

they were asking if I believed married between one man and one woman should be legal in DC yes or no answer only
12:11 pm
rubyfoo
that's not enough choices
12:11 pm

and yes that should be legal but so should married between one man and one man
12:11 pm
rubyfoo
and what do they have against polyandry anyway?
12:11 pm
jmcnrick
and between one woman and one woman
12:11 pm
jmcnrick
I stand firmly against bigamy!!!
12:11 pm
montreal13
between 1 man and 2 women ?
12:12 pm
ch1212
hi all. jmc, I hope the question included the word 'only', because marriage between one man and one woman is already legal in DC.
12:12 pm
jmcnrick
oh you know same sex marriages just became legal in DC

NB, I grew up believing that if you used more than a dime-sized amount of shampoo it was a waste of money. I've never been able to break that up-bringing; (I nearly hear voices saying I'm wasteful if I pour out a nickel-sized amount!)
3:15 pm
Joanne123

drawing Laurelin and Telperion. the usual!
4:48 pm
Atalante
trying to decide whether squirrels lived in the Two Trees. Important question!!
4:49 pm
Vicuna
Hmmm... I'd have to think carefully about that one.
4:50 pm
Atalante
we're having a big debate about it at the moment. Were the Two Trees pristine and holy? Or did they have birds adn squirrels adn caterpillars and and and!
4:52 pm
Vicuna
Right. They certainly get described as pure and holy... but also as life-giving, which is hard to picture without, well, life...
4:52 pm
Atalante
exactly .... *is perturbed*
4:52 pm
Atalante
I hate being able to perfectly justify both sides of an argument!
4:53 pm
Vicuna
But I'm thinking I'd say they had butterflies, pretty birds, stuff like that, but not squirrels, ugly bugs, etc. In other words, life, but only fancy life! lol
4:54 pm
Atalante
*grins* that's being elitist!!
4:54 pm
Vicuna
Yep. you think Tolkein wasn't?
4:54 pm
Atalante
or pretty-ist, or something
4:55 pm
Atalante
and he loved nature, I can't see him liking a tree without life in it. But he was also Catholic, and the Trees were very much a vision of purity and idealism
4:55 pm
Riverdance
any help on the sy?
4:55 pm
Atalante
sorry, mom! I totally hijacked Vi's attention

Besides, the pretty-ist solution would make for pretty art.
5:00 pm
Vicuna
Even if some of the other critters would be more fun to do.
5:00 pm
Atalante
lol yes. and I'm sure I'll go along those lines. It's just a really really interesting question to consider. I really don't know the right answer, if there even is a right answer
5:00 pm
Atalante
I'm sure some little green caterpillars will appear. and butterflies
5:01 pm
Vicuna
Well, by "right answer" you have to decide whether you're trying to fathom what Tolkein imagined, or trying to come up with your own sort of "theology" of what it should have been like.
5:02 pm
Mudd
I am so dragging here.
5:02 pm
Atalante
I always like to at least think that Tolkien wouldn't be horrified by anything I drew of his world ...
5:03 pm
Atalante
I usually try and at least start with his concepts and his drawings if I want a reference
5:03 pm
Vicuna
As a writer, I always applaud people who try to refrain from desecrating an author's vision! It drives me bonkers when movies claim to be based on a book and then have nothing to do with it but the names.
5:04 pm
Atalante
I think I have such respect and love for Tolkien's vision that I always want to create something he would love. It's always the best praise when someone comes along ans says "you know, I really think Tolkien would have loved that"
5:05 pm
Vicuna
Absolutely.
5:06 pm
Atalante
and he was much more broad-minded than one might think about fan art. He loved some of the really surreal 1970s Cor Blok art (look him up, weird and wonderful!). But whatever style, I think it's only right to do something the author would approve of. It's their world we're all playing in

6:37 pm
Minveryork
Hello stidgmere! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle
6:38 pm
stidgmere
Hi, min I am fine after a day in the big city looking at the exhibits in some art galleries. I could be an artist, I at least could do as well as some the work we saw today.
6:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
What big city are you in?
6:54 pm
stidgmere
We went to Seattle.
6:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne
The question about the art is not COULD you do as well, but WOULD you. Audacity- or creativity- counts for much.
6:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Where are you usually?
6:55 pm
stidgmere
Well, they were pretty audacious to put some of the work in a gallery since I have seen children who have better ideas and better techniques.
6:55 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Chutzpah.
6:58 pm
dcseain
stidgmere, if ever you visit the Nat'l Gallery of Art Washington, may i suggest you stick to the West building mostly? Aside from the Matisse cut-outs and the Calder mobile in the lobby, i'm guessing most of the East building would not appeal to you.
6:58 pm
Minveryork
Hello dcseain!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
6:59 pm
dcseain
hello, munver, kaplan, stidgmere, et al.
6:59 pm
dcseain
er, minver :)
6:59 pm
stidgmere
Well, I don't mind seeing good recent art. The Bourbourg in Paris is a favorite museum (even when it is spelled right.)
7:00 pm
dcseain
ah, in which case, i would still suggest the Hirshorn over the East Build of NGA generally
7:01 pm
stidgmere
I have been looking at maps of the Mall lately and noticed the Hirshorn--a round building, I think. Does it spiral up on the inside?
7:03 pm
dcseain
if memory serves, no
7:03 pm
dcseain
i recall discreet floors
7:03 pm
dcseain
looping from elevator around
7:04 pm
stidgmere
Well, I think the Museum inNYC has the spiral form--Wright's architecture.
7:04 pm
dcseain
there are sculptures around the inside of the O on each floor, and galleries around the outside.
7:04 pm
dcseain
yes, that is corroct, stidge, that one is a spiral
7:05 pm
dcseain
the sculpture gardens at both NGA and the Hirshhorn are lovely
7:05 pm
dcseain
i miss living on Capitol Hill and being able to walk down to the Mall
7:05 pm
stidgmere
But today we went to art galleries and they all have different personalities.

7:50 pm

We learned about that in School, JMC, but none of it of course seems at all real as I grew up really post civil rights...
7:51 pm
jmcnrick
I know -- I can always shock my staff by talking about pre-integration
7:51 pm
dcseain
The HS i attended was old enough to have different sets of bathroom facilities, gymnasiums, and locker rooms.
7:51 pm
redturtlehead
all the ones I have so far jmc are sp, I am lacking one.
7:52 pm
jmcnrick
that is good news as i am lacking 2
7:52 pm
redturtlehead
Well, if they watch the PBS series on the Civil rightsmovement the footage is absoloutley appalling to someone of my generation...
7:52 pm
dcseain
there were still the old separate water fountains at all bu the MS i attended, too.
7:52 pm
dcseain
not labelled by then, but the teachers and parents made sure we understood why they were there and like that.
7:52 pm
redturtlehead
none of that for me, absoloutely no vestigaes of the civil rights battle by the time I went off to kinderg.
7:52 pm

7:54 pm

Philadelphia, was a mess, I understand.
7:55 pm

LBJ described PA as Phillie on one end, Pittsburg on the other and Alabama in the middle
7:55 pm
redturtlehead
hey now, I am from that Alabama part. it isnt that bad.
