7:07 am
westford
does the bird make that sound I wonder?
7:08 am
rubyfoo
yes, it's even better than the hot roast. Sauce is : yoghurt, garlic, onions, cucumber, salt, coriander, cumin and parsley
7:08 am
Mudd
Oh, rhubarb season ... yummy.
7:08 am

I wouldn't be surprised, west... at least to certain ears, grin.

while you're on the subject of New York, does anyone know how easy it is to get about there with a wheelchair?
8:17 am
evanonut
sounds good to me
8:17 am
evanonut
i hope that i get there before i lose a lungh
8:17 am
evanonut
i haven't the foggiest guernsey, but with us laws, everything should be accessibl
8:18 am
guernseygirl
they say that over here, but the reality is often not quite the same.
8:18 am
Anniebrook
If you dont get to NY often throw money caution to the wind and go to Union Square Cafe. Have a great time and come back more often.
8:18 am
evanonut

8:19 am
Anniebrook
guernsey, everything here is supposed to be wheelchair accessible.
8:20 am
Anniebrook
nutty, You must go on the subway then. Your hearing will never be the same but worth the price of admission.
8:20 am
evanonut
oy vey, i leave that up to karen, she's the one that knows what she's about
8:20 am
guernseygirl
they have been working towards that here too, but although the laws are in place, there are still many problems, especially with historical buildings and public transport.
8:21 am
Anniebrook
okay, nutty whatever karen says then that's it. (((Nutty))) have a great time and I am sorry that I missed you but when you get in again we must meet.

Hi folks.

I am a bit late on the thread but WC accessibility often depends on what you are used to. Living in Jerusalem, access is a nightmare and I sigh with relief when visitng the US, but friends from the US complain a lot more. Manhatten is decent, Brooklyn was more provisional, especially when I needed a bathroom - and the Catskills? Pee in Ur Pants USA.
8:35 am
Michnick
Guernsey, are you a WC user?

You must see ec9 in demented adults. It is a normal part of early childhood language development but it persists in autistic kids.

can't the maid do it ?
12:40 pm
cybernan

12:42 pm

12:42 pm
rubyfoo
attach a wet rag to the dog's tail and feed him cookies
12:43 pm
westford
good idea
12:43 pm
cybernan
I wish it was, west, but have houseguests arriving tomorrow
12:43 pm
westford
that always gives me incentive to clean
12:43 pm
rubyfoo
another household tip: clean all the mirrors and picture glass; it makes the whole house look clean
12:44 pm
rubyfoo
probably, if we never had company, we wouldn't clean
12:44 pm
cybernan
At this point I wish I had Samantha's nose!
12:45 pm
rubyfoo
the good thing about old husbands is that they don't see either the dust or your wrinkles (my* lol)
12:46 pm
westford
failing eyesight is a good thing in husbands
12:46 pm
cybernan
true ruby, but they are very good at creating a mess.
12:46 pm
rubyfoo
but how do you train an old husband to wipe his feet? It would be easier to train the dogs.....
12:47 pm
cybernan
you've got that right -- I think its the "I'm retired I don't have to do anything" complex
12:47 pm
westford
after he's been in the fish pond?
12:47 pm
rubyfoo
at least mine does all the grocery shopping; if he gets it wrong, I don't say a word
12:48 pm
cybernan
lol -- same here ruby
12:48 pm
rubyfoo
fortunately, he leaves the waders outside! lol
12:48 pm
cybernan
I wonder what we could do to encourage them to cook what they buy?
12:48 pm
rubyfoo
he shops, I cook
12:49 pm
rubyfoo
mostly for him and the dogs, however, as I don't cook much for myself
12:49 pm
cybernan
The good thing about that is he has to figure out what we're having for supper!
12:50 pm
rubyfoo
I don't mind the cooking and he unloads the dishwasher -- and this is a man who never did ANYTHING with his first 3 wives!!!!
12:50 pm
westford
that would be a plus I hate trying to think of what to have
12:50 pm
rubyfoo
I make the same things, over and over, and he doesn't mind as long as "it's good for him" and controls his weight and cholesterol.
12:50 pm
cybernan
oh -- lucky you -- our dishwasher is a foreign piece of equipment that does not extend below the countertop!
12:50 pm
westford
how is that possible in France
12:51 pm
rubyfoo
he doesn't like French food, so I cook Italian, American, Mexican, whatever, and follow his old South Beach diet
12:51 pm
lbdawger
hi everyone!, clue for the O in the fourth row, plz?
12:52 pm
cybernan
mine doesn't like repeats and I am the one nagging about high cholesterol food.
12:52 pm
cybernan
ok 4/9 -- all right?
12:52 pm
lbdawger
hi ruby!
12:52 pm
rubyfoo
I am lucky about that as he would eat the same lunch every day, a huge South Beach chicken salad
12:52 pm
westford
hi lbd start with texas tea and add a mountain upside down
12:53 pm
rubyfoo
I haven't been able to find that ok4, my monkeys couldn't either
12:53 pm
cybernan
mmmm -- sauteed cabbage with chopped tomato and onion thrown in
12:53 pm
westford
that's oi 7/32
12:53 pm
cybernan
add up the points ok?
12:53 pm
rubyfoo
that sounds delish, nan
12:54 pm
cybernan
right out of south beach ;)
12:54 pm
cybernan
I even cheat and add a smidge of butter to the veggie oil
12:54 pm
rubyfoo
I've gotten his weight under control but now he's too skinny
12:55 pm
lbdawger
ty, got the ok4, not sure about an upside down mountain tho
12:55 pm
rubyfoo
and he still accumulates plaque
12:55 pm
cybernan
*but use savoy cabbage
12:55 pm
westford
dig a blank in the ground
12:55 pm
lbdawger
oh, got the oi7! thanks
12:56 pm
cybernan
I think that is an age related thing, ruby -- or genetics
12:56 pm
cybernan
does he have stents?
12:56 pm
rubyfoo
genetics, I think
12:56 pm
rubyfoo
I eat all kinds of fatty stuff and nothing happens
12:57 pm
rubyfoo
yes, he's had 3 blocked arteries - both carotids and this last one, anterior descending from his heart
12:57 pm
cybernan
my cholesterol profile is very low as well -- but I have no problem gaining weight!
12:58 pm
cybernan
my man just had a quintuple by pass 6 months ago -- 2 stents 8 years before that
12:58 pm
cybernan
You'd think I wouldn't have to fight with him to eat sensibly
12:58 pm
rubyfoo
I think the HDL is an inherited factor, too, but my actual capacity is small and if I overeat I feel so sick
12:58 pm
rubyfoo
that I don't eat again for a while
12:59 pm
cybernan
I'm hungry all the time and crave salt -- low thyroid related I think
12:59 pm
rubyfoo
if they're stubborn like that, there's really nothing yu can do.
1:00 pm
rubyfoo
impossible to be one's husband's mother!
1:00 pm
westford
speaking of food I'm off to make lunch
1:00 pm
westford
have a great day
1:00 pm
rubyfoo
what are you having?
1:00 pm
cybernan
this isn't getting my floor done, so I'd better get cracking -- back at the flip :) Have a great day!
1:01 pm
rubyfoo
bye nan and west, great chatting with you!
1:01 pm
westford
I'll look in the fridge and decide what musgo

i am listening to the radio via internet
6:25 pm

Min, what I would give to sit in a patio looking at the beautiful flowers and enjoying life - hopefully that will happen when I am able to stop work - but until college is done I am a laborer
6:26 pm
Riverdance
my teenagers keep me going for sure - tiring but fun - had kids later in life and they keep me young.
6:28 pm
Riverdance
this game is for me and only me - most can understand that
6:31 pm
Minveryork
If I have kids it will be late in life too.I am 39 with no kids.I probably will never have kids so my enjoyment is just Babble and sitting outside on my patio for now

hi welk and red

Oh Min, you have lots of babble friends - and 39 is not too late - I had my son at 39. And if that is not in the picture for you - there are many other enjoyments you can partake in - like us and flowers and whatever tickles your fancy....

Ill give you every clue so you can do what you need to do
6:36 pm

6:37 pm
stidmama
hm. must be a new addition to her life... or maybe I am just clueless today! LOL
6:38 pm
welki
stid, she's had her dog as long as i've been babbling (just over a year)
6:38 pm
Riverdance
I think Min is feeling down today - COME ON MIN - lets have fun - forget the husband, chores , work, and live....
6:38 pm
welki
or .. it could be i'm having some sort of delusional episode right about now :)
6:39 pm

7:10 pm
redturtlehead
when patients have it, it is a bit tempting to see exactly what they will repeat.
7:10 pm
Riverdance
I always get stumped on those medical terms
7:10 pm

Wow, Dorens, that's quite a wake up, isn't it?
7:40 pm

7:41 pm
Nef
How is everyone this evening?
7:41 pm
Dorens
finish out the school year, end of june. it's funny... normally i'd be sad to be back to work, but that seems ironic, since i'm mourning NOT having to work next year
7:41 pm

hmmph - not weird at all TY Dorens - quite common here!
7:43 pm
Dorens
not really dawg, but have no choice. guidance dept eliminated from next year's budget. i am five years away from retirement, but c'est la vie
7:43 pm
Uneaixoise
hey, lynxxx!
7:44 pm
lbdawger
I bet you'll be able to pick something up to carry on your retirement benefits.
7:44 pm

7:45 pm
Uneaixoise
a pig in a po4/9 that is
7:45 pm
Dorens
dawg... the governor cut a billion dollars in state aid to schools... most districts are cutting back on guidance counselors... no one is hiring and if they are, they're not looking for older folks higher up on the scale
7:45 pm

Australian owl - the name is after the call it makes which sounds very beautiful but a bit sad ec**ing through the bush

7:46 pm

did some fantastic snorkeling yesterday in the second largest reef, after australia's, so i was thinking of you folks lynxxx
7:46 pm
Uneaixoise
tx lynxxx!
7:46 pm
lynxxx
do you get good retrenchment packages over there Dorens?
7:47 pm
Dorens
i'm not getting anything all that good. 2/5 pension and no health benefits... if i had continued the next five years it would have been medical benefits for life and 3/5 pay
7:48 pm
lbdawger
are you in the teacher's union, dorens? what do they say?
7:48 pm
Dorens
thinking about it now, i realize i still haven't gotten over feeling angry about it. hope that comes soon...
7:48 pm
lynxxx
that so doesn't seem right - but more importantly you don't sound as though you are ready to retire
7:49 pm
Dorens
the state union is doing a lot of squawking about the cuts, but my local doesn't seem to be doing anything... the superintendent says the money isn't there, and there are no other cuts to be made. and no, i am NOT ready!
7:53 pm
lynxxx
I hope something good falls into your lap soon. I remember being devastated when I was retrenched - only softened by a very very nice package and another year as an external consultant for same company
7:54 pm
Dorens
i am hoping lynxxx.. principal of my school says you never know, something may come up, some money may be found.. any time up through august 29th... and i am hopeful (alternating between hopeful, devastated and angry)
7:55 pm
lynxxx
fingers crossed for you - are remember it IS only for money reasons - it will NOT be anything personal against you
7:56 pm
Dorens
sometimes that is hard to believe, that's the unfortunate thing. part of me believes that if they really wanted me, this wouldn't be happening, and that is a bitter feeling. thanks for your encouragement
7:58 pm
lbdawger
I think if they could launder up some funds for you Dorens, they'd do it in a heart beat. at least I hope they would! (((HGUS)))
7:58 pm
Dorens
thanks. maybe they're working on it-- i'd like to think so at least
7:58 pm
lbdawger
Check out Upward Bound in your area. See if they need a teacher/counselor. it's soft money but you'd still be able to pay into your retirement
7:59 pm
kc8501
and yet, they're trying to tell us the recession is getting BETTER! HA!
7:59 pm
Dorens
i'll check dawg... not sure if it would work into the state retirement fund, but worth a try, thanks
8:00 pm
Dorens
it may be getting better in other sectors, but it has trickled down into state and local governments something fierce.. just so stupid to cut money to schools though
8:01 pm
Dorens
any clues for the final re6 words?
8:01 pm
kc8501
yeah, I don't know a single district though thats not cutting back. The states don't have it so... yeah. Sucks.
8:01 pm

I believe from my HS classes, someone in the world did an experiment that used a sample of snowflakes and surmised that none were the same configuration, so they've extrapolated and dictated that no two are the same...a scientific determination. how does one know the world is spinning, and not the universe around us?
