hi Sandyloo

1:27 am

sandyloo

hi day, how is the weather there? we have some clouds coming over

1:27 am

sandyloo

and the temperature is dropping fast

1:30 am

daykat

same here Sandy, rain coming, thank goodness

1:31 am

daykat

we'll be in trouble come January if it doesnt do some decent raining soon

1:31 am

sandyloo

I hope so , our water tank is full tho, we dont get scheme water here

1:32 am

sandyloo

we also have a bore, which isnt working at the moment and a dam which is full and a windmill

1:32 am

sandyloo

do you have scheme water?

1:33 am

daykat

we have tanks which are close to full, no bore, no scheme. Our dam is looking sad

1:33 am

sandyloo

that means (as you know ) your water table must be low

1:34 am

daykat

we try to keep a reasonable supply of water for potential firefighting in the summer. The water table is low, creek hasnt started running and it always runs during May/June

1:35 am

daykat

Do you remember that old poem "We'll a be rooned, said Hanrahan..."

1:35 am

sandyloo

our back paddock used to be a wetland so if we have a wet winter it floods and I close it off from the horses =which means a green paddock in summer but now it is dry

1:35 am

daykat

and they say climate change is not real

1:36 am

is that Oa a real word?

1:53 am

joshuavorbis

yes, herin

I *swear* that it is!

1:54 am

(that was a hint)

1:54 am

herinfernallady

never mind

1:54 am

m9f9l

;-)

1:55 am

herinfernallady

I just woke up from a nap and contemplating returning there

1:57 am

m9f9l

it's just about midnight here..

1:57 am

m9f9l

so I'm about ready for a LOooong *nap*

1:57 am

herinfernallady

M9 i am trying to ditch this stupid cold.

1:58 am

m9f9l

oh yuck! do you ever do the cold sock trick?

1:58 am

herinfernallady

no what the heck is that

1:59 am

m9f9l

you soak your feet in hot water, then you put icy wet cotton socks on, and dry wool socks over that and get straight in bed under covers.

2:02 am

m9f9l

and in morning, the socks are dry and you feel a lot better.

2:02 am

joshuavorbis

that sounds truly horrible to me

2:02 am

herinfernallady

that doesn't sound appealing at all

2:02 am

herinfernallady

that doesn't sound appealing at all

2:02 am

m9f9l

midnight lag was a long one.

2:03 am

m9f9l

just google "wet sock treatment"

2:05 am

herinfernallady

Rather not M9

2:06 am

m9f9l

LOL

2:06 am

herinfernallady

I can't stand wet feet. That is like torture to me

2:07 am

m9f9l

me too usually. but I can handle the hydrotherapy for some reason.

2:11 am

herinfernallady

I would rather eat raw garlic

2:11 am

yup. I do that too!LOL

m9f9l

2:15 am

m9f9l

this is stidkid correct? #1? or #2??

2:16 am

stidmama

Elton John's AIDA -- I am not fond of the music for this one, and he doesn't have an role apart from chorus, but that's part of being an actor... he's got Pooh Bah next week in The Mikado, which is a GREAT part for him

2:16 am

m9f9l

Aiden LOVES that Aida. there's some good songs in it. but the Mikado! awesome!

2:16 am

m9f9l

who is he doing it with?

2:16 am

stidmama

2:22 am

m9f9l

2:23 am

stidmama

2:23 am

m9f9l

he said "i thought tutoring would be different. this is fun!"

2:23 am

stidmama

thanks m!

2:23 am

stidmama

NBT

2:25 am

stidmama

I was thinking about what might have made my life as a student happier... and I was thinking he might need to hear the message that people who are "smart" at math also have to struggle, and sometimes make mistakes and forget things

2:26 am

m9f9l

yup

2:26 am

m9f9l

ok *poof*

2:26 am

Hello -- back briefly -- hi stid!

2:38 am

stidmama

hey jill ((((hugs)))) I am glad I decided to get down to 100 before I went to sleep. I can sleep in tomorrow in good conscience because I picked up the stidkid from rehearsal

2:38 am

stidmama

need two more...

2:39 am

stidmama

down to 99...

2:39 am

stidmama

how are you doing jill?

2:39 am

jillibus

I was sidetracked for a while -- only have 104 words and 180 left :(

2:39 am

stidmama

go jill go!

2:39 am

stidmama

*wink*

2:40 am

jillibus

I was late getting here too -- been very busy and have also been working in a swim most days.

2:40 am

stidmama

good for you (swimming) and hope all is well?

2:41 am

jillibus

All is well! With you too, I hope.

2:42 am

stidmama

things are going as well as can be expected I suppose. Had really thought I would have the house (at least my study spaces) cleaned up by now, but am only just calming down enough to actually look at them and go through things. *sigh* I am so very nervous about student teaching...

2:42 am

Christine

Jillibus, was the Lightshow visible from your area?

2:42 am

stidmama

hey christine

2:42 am

sandyloo

silly nervous stid! you will be great!

2:43 am

jillibus

I don't see why you should be nervous -- you're a born teacher!

2:43 am

Christine

Hello, all - stll looking for 123.

2:43 am

stidmama

thanks all -- it's not the teaching, it's the hoops... and my lack of confidence in the program I chose as well as in the instructors. oh well. I have to try, and hope that my best will be good enough.

2:44 am

jillibus

No, Christine -- I take it you mean the Vancouver fireworks? Or are you referring to the No7/32n Lights which we didn't see last night? I tink because there's too much haze from the istant forest fires.

2:44 am

rubyfoo

good morning

2:45 am

2:45 am

hi ruby

2:45 am

jillibus

hi ruby

2:45 am

stidmama

BUT I am convinced that if I can survive the 2 hours (each way) commute that my diligence and ability will demonstrate to the teachers in the school that I am made of the right stuff. I really think they are the ones who will be my best allies.

2:45 am

stidmama

hey ruby!

2:45 am

stidmama

okay, it's nearly 1 am here and I MUST be up no later than 9 no matter what. SO.... sweet dreams and happy days all!

2:45 am

jillibus

omg, stid! 2 hours each way!

2:46 am

jillibus

Good night stiddie!

2:46 am

stidmama

*poof*

2:46 am

sandyloo

how are things today ruby?

2:46 am

Christine

I maeant the Aurora Borealis (sp). At one time, on my computer, I had s little video of the lights -- apparently there's a rumbly sound that accompanies them. Bought a new laptop and transferred most things, but couldn't find that.

2:48 am

jillibus

I need to transfer things to my new laptop but am very unsure how. I need help that doesn't cost $60/hour!

2:48 am

joshuavorbis

do you have any cords to connect them?

2:48 am

joshuavorbis

or do you have a wireless network that both can use?

2:49 am

Christine

Is there an adult education class that you can attend, to learn how-to.

2:49 am

rubyfoo

Just checking to see if hospital has more rabies shots as they didn't have any on Tuesday after summoning us there. He needs more shots. But as far as insurance, culpability, etc., all is under control.

2:50 am

jillibus

I have a wireless network, and bought an external hard drive but haven't hookedit up yet. Nervous. Silly, I know.

2:50 am

rubyfoo

I wish you would all sing to him as he is very depressed!

2:50 am

sandyloo

that is great, have the offenders agreed to pay?

2:50 am

joshuavorbis

what are you nervous about?

2:50 am

sandyloo

poor thing , tell him he will get better and you are buying a beauceron if he doesn't cheer up

2:51 am

Christine

Hi rubyfoo, is your husband recovering?

2:51 am

jillibus

If I sand he'd be even more depressed!

2:51 am

jillibus

*sang (obviously bed-time)

2:51 am

rubyfoo

they've already spoken to their insurance company but the man came here and begged me to drop the complaint as he does want the dog put down and he faces 4 month in jail. I'm not dropping it until we have total restituion and dog is put down. I don't want that old man to go to jail!

2:52 am

rubyfoo

does not*

2:52 am

rubyfoo

hah, sandy

2:52 am

sandyloo

He shouldn't go to jail , but the dog has to be put down

2:52 am

rubyfoo

no infection but since they have to keep the wound open so that it heals from underneath, he must be very closely watched

2:53 am

jillibus

ruby, I've obviously missed something. Was your hubby attacked by a dog?

2:54 am

rubyfoo

yes, jilly, last Friday, seriously bitten by a VERY large dog and wound up in hospital

2:54 am

rubyfoo

like a nightmare.

2:54 am

jillibus

Oh dear! Where was he bitten?

2:55 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, this is a small village, the police went door-to-door and everybody got involved - local police, gendarmes and neighbors

2:56 am

rubyfoo

the dog bit (and ate!) a huge chunk out of his forearm and took him down, then came back and bit him on his upper arm. He's banged up from hitting the road and got a puncture in his other hand trying to fend off the monster

2:56 am

jillibus

Is the old man the dog's owner?

2:56 am

sandyloo

he was attacked while on a walk and the dog (unprovoked) took him down to the pavement and savaged him

2:56 am

jillibus

Oh, how horrible!

2:56 am

rubyfoo

yes, but he is not the one who controls the dog, it is his wife who rescued the dog from the SPA

2:56 am

sandyloo

then owner and dog disappeared from the scene

2:57 am

jillibus

Sounds as if NOBODY controls the dog.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

and husband is very fragile, lost consciousness a couple of times at the hospital and had to be admitted.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

but everybody in the village has come together on this and the mayor is insisting that the dog be killed

2:57 am

sandyloo

a lethal weapon Jilli

2:58 am

jillibus

indeed

2:58 am

rubyfoo

I've been on and on about this in the chog, but my Babble friends have been very supportive and Sandy linked me to the photo which helped the police find the dog

2:59 am

jillibus

How could Sandy do that?

2:59 am

rubyfoo

husband is strong except for his heart. I keep telling him that he is lucky that the dog didn't bite through a tendon, a muscle or an artery, or, worse, kill a little child, but he can't look at the bright side....

2:59 am

sandyloo

just from the internet jilli, got lucky

3:00 am

rubyfoo

the policeman knew the breed as he knows everything about the village, but didn't have a picture for the door-to-door

3:00 am

rubyfoo

sandy is wonderful!

3:00 am

jillibus

Ah, you found a picture of the breed and it was a Beauceron?

3:00 am

sandyloo

oh yes, a true hero !!lol

3:01 am

Christine

How very horrible for you & your husband, And the point about the dog biting a child, probably has occured to parents in the village. What breed is it?

3:02 am

rubyfoo

a beauceron, a recognized cross between a German shepherd and a doberman

3:02 am

Christine

0h, I see the breed - a beautiful dog.

3:02 am

rubyfoo

great idea for a cross, huh?

3:02 am

sandyloo

with big teeth

3:02 am

rubyfoo

the policeman thought it was a beauceron and sandy found it for me

3:03 am

rubyfoo

except when it's lunging at you!

3:04 am

Christine

A neighbour had a doberman, that just paced behind the fence. One night it got out - a night when I had no car, and walked from the busstop. It just stalked behind me, clicking his nails on the pavement.

3:04 am

rubyfoo

omg, that is scary Christine

3:04 am

sandyloo

scary chris, but Im glad it didn't attack you

3:05 am

sandyloo

dobermans are famous for hiding and letting people onto the property and then not letting them off the property

3:05 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure they can be lovely dogs, but to take in a huge dog like that, not raise it as a puppy, without knowing its background, seems totally irresponsible to me. There are a lot of children in the village

3:05 am

Christine

I wasn't sure if it was debating eating me raw, or deciding on a cooking method. My mother used to say you'd be okay if a dog couldn't sense your fear ... right.

3:05 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that

3:06 am

rubyfoo

I can understand any dog biting if somebody invades its home (not our chows, of course, lol), but not like that, unprovoked

3:06 am

jillibus

from Wikipedia ; "...Adults are typically suspicious of strangers and are excellent natural guard dogs. On the other hand they typically take their cue from their handlers when it comes to greeting strangers..." They are a purebred now.

3:06 am

rubyfoo

I think that's a grandmother's tale; my husband loves dogs and has no fear of them

3:06 am

Christine

Beautiful dog, and the neighbour told me he was friendly, but shy, and couldn't make the first move.

3:07 am

rubyfoo

so if you had said "Hello, good boy" he might have attacked?

3:09 am

sandyloo

no the secret is to give of a pack leader attitude - no eye contact, but in Bert's case he was faced with an unstable dog already in the red zone, he could not have avoided it

3:09 am

Christine

I think most dangerous dogs are either not socialised from pupphood, or a trained to be 'bad'dogs. My parents and one sister had pitbulls and rottweilers, that thought they were lapdogs - but woe betide anyone who looked sideways at any of the grandchildren.

3:10 am

sandyloo

in itself a protective dog like that is dangerous

3:10 am

rubyfoo

I only have experience with our chows, so I'm no expert. But husband has always had dogs

3:11 am

sandyloo

all is in the hands of the owners bad owners make for bad dogs rescue dogs are an unknown quantity

3:11 am

jillibus

hear hear sandy!

3:11 am

rubyfoo

amen!

3:12 am

jillibus

Some breeds are unjustifiably labelled as dangerous, mostly because those who choose them want it that way

3:13 am

joshuavorbis

fireworks

3:13 am

rubyfoo

I think pit bulls are handsome and, from what I've heard, can be lovely pets. Also very trainable. They were in a lot of the old movies like Our Gang.

3:13 am

rubyfoo

here, they have to be muzzled but the French are not great at enforcing their own laws

3:14 am

lynxxx

Congrats Josh. Hello everyone

3:14 am

sandyloo

dog laws are difficult to enforce

3:14 am

rubyfoo

gd morning lynxxx! congrats josh

3:14 am

sandyloo

well done josh hi lyn

3:14 am

jillibus

I think I've told you about the guy that came to us on his motorbike when we were breeding Danes and asked if we trained dogs. "Trained for what?" I asked. "For attack," said the jerk. "Good heavens, no1

3:14 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, in this case, everybody (except the owners) has come together on this issue and this particular dog!

3:15 am

rubyfoo

that's sick, jilli!!

3:15 am

jillibus

no!" I said, "An attack by a Dane could kill someone!" "That's what I want," he said. "If someone steals my bike he deserves to die."

3:16 am

rubyfoo

that is horrible!

3:16 am

sandyloo

good one jilli, I hate people who encourage savageness in dogs - our dogs are friendly but I know that if we were attacked they would come to our defence as would a lot of dogs but they dont need to be trained to attack

3:16 am

jillibus

"Goodbye", said I.

3:16 am

jillibus

There are too many jerks like that in the world.

3:17 am

rubyfoo

I think my Ruby would attack anybody who tried to hurt me....but our previous chow, Rufus, a grand old male, only said "woof" when a burglar came into the house and stayed upstairs with us

3:17 am

rubyfoo

maybe he though his job was only to protect us, not the house

3:18 am

jillibus

Oh, Rufus the doofus!

3:18 am

rubyfoo

he was a great gentleman!

3:19 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo everyone

3:19 am

jillibus

I miss our gentle Danes.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

hello sally!!

3:19 am

sandyloo

hello sal

3:19 am

rubyfoo

I've only know one Dane and he was magnificent and used to try and sit on people's laps!

3:19 am

Sally-catlover

I would love a Great Dane jilli. I just really like big dogs.

3:20 am

lynxxx

Did you ever come across a nasty Dane Jilli?

3:20 am

Sally-catlover

Do they need mega exercise?

3:20 am

jillibus

Oh yes, our Danes were lap dogs.

3:20 am

lynxxx

hello Sally

3:20 am

jillibus

No, lyn.

3:20 am

Sally-catlover

lol, they wouldn't save you, they would love you to death!

3:21 am

Sally-catlover

sorry, not save - savage

3:21 am

jillibus

Danes are lazy but ours got lots of exercise -- we had about 3 acres fenced and they would romp and chase each other.

3:21 am

sandyloo

I saw an agressive dane at dog training once, but as I say the owner was hopeless - all other danes ive seen have been very gentle

3:22 am

Sally-catlover

Would hate to see a fat Great Dane.

3:22 am

jillibus

Well, the owners have a lot to do with how the dogs behave.

3:22 am

sandyloo

hmmm, I have never seen a fat dane

3:22 am

jillibus

Neither have I.

3:24 am

jillibus

Ours didn't have big appetites.

3:27 am

jillibus

exactly halfway now, and I really need my bed. Goodnight all, and ... *poof*

3:27 am

Sally-catlover

bye jilli.

3:27 am

lynxxx

night Jilli

3:28 am

Sally-catlover

Is your husband a bit less shaky now ruby?

3:28 am

herinfernallady

Hello again

3:28 am

rubyfoo

yes, but he's very depressed. I asked jilli to sing for him to cheer him up!

3:29 am

sandyloo

ok , have to do work now , so i will be back later

3:29 am

Sally-catlover

Is that just the after-effects of shock, do you think?

3:29 am

rubyfoo

and he's in pain now, whereas he wasn't the first couple of days

3:29 am

Sally-catlover

bye sandy

3:29 am

rubyfoo

see you later {{sandyloo}}

3:29 am

lynxxx

hi Infernal

3:29 am

herinfernallady

Ruby in the photos that you sent me was that black the bruising?

3:29 am

herinfernallady

Hi Lynxx

3:30 am

rubyfoo

yes, from his shoulder to his wrist!

3:30 am

rubyfoo

it looks like a shirt sleeve!

3:31 am

herinfernallady

That is really nasty

3:35 am

herinfernallady

How is everything going today and my b.f says ouch and sends his love

3:35 am

rubyfoo

give him a hug from me. I've been going on and on but now husband needs cheering up and careful surveillance

3:36 am

rubyfoo

infection is the main issue now and we have to be really vigilant! Did I tell you that at our new hospital, none of the personnel washes his hands?

3:37 am

rubyfoo

it is scary when they go from room to room in the ER!

3:37 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, the visiting nurse is impeccable and our mocal MD is also involved. We'll only go back to the hospital for more rabies shots, but won't let them touch the wound!

3:37 am

rubyfoo

wounds*

3:38 am

rubyfoo

local* (can't type, still frazzled

3:39 am

herinfernallady

Ruby my dad has just had his leg op and they were talking about the hypobaric room to add healing.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

I don't know if they have that here, but we'll avoid this hospital at all costs now. And his wounds have to heal from underneath.....I don't know what could help. The nurse said he should eat meat!

3:42 am

herinfernallady

Wound healing Vitamin A E and C

3:43 am

rubyfoo

he takes vit C and I'll tell him to double his dose and will check on the A and E

3:44 am

herinfernallady

Zinc and Silica too. BUT make sure what ever medication he is on nothing clashes

3:47 am

rubyfoo

he is already taking a lot of meds for his heart and now antibiotics and painkillers

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I'm afraid to give him anything beyond more vitamins

3:48 am

rubyfoo

what foods have E and zinc?

3:48 am

rubyfoo

he eats a lot of fruit and veggies

3:49 am

rubyfoo

must do a drugstore run for the dressings. See you later, dear friends!!!

3:49 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

3:50 am

Ruby you do have to make sure what husband eats doesn't clash with meds

4:12 am

rubyfoo

yes, I am very careful. Fortunately, he has the digestive tract of a tiger!

4:13 am

rubyfoo

he can eat anything and never reacts, e.g. scotch bonnets and other really spicy foods

4:13 am

rubyfoo

he has been on a modified South Beach diet for about 14 yrs

4:13 am

ddb4nana

Rose, I always think of that poem

5:10 am

grannyrose

herin, when we go back, will definitely keep a lokkout for his work

5:10 am

herinfernallady

I can't remember where it is now

5:11 am

sprite

good dayt to you all... sandy that is such a sweet little butterfly!

5:11 am

grannyrose

i think it must be the most quoted poem, my grandpappy was always quoting it, but then he was a teacher

5:11 am

grannyrose

hey spritey

5:11 am

herinfernallady

Spriteeeeee

5:12 am

sprite

hello dear babble friends :)

5:12 am

sprite

rose, have been thinking of you. How is the fever, and how are you?

5:13 am

shdybr8

gt

5:13 am

sandyloo

Sprite did you read my words about the butterfly

5:13 am

herinfernallady

Hi Shady

5:13 am

grannyrose

sprite, am on antibiotics for 3 months. apparently have an infection in the bones in my facial sinuses.

5:14 am

sprite

yes I did, isn't it a marvelous feeling, those butterfly legs on your finger? They do it here as well, especially when it is very hot.

5:14 am

herinfernallady

Granny lots of yogurt and cranny juice

5:14 am

grannyrose

today, my temp. dipped below 37C for the first time in nearly 11 weeks

5:14 am

sprite

oh rose, am glad they found it, but sorry it is such a nasty thing. Antobiotics for 3 months is severe.

5:15 am

sprite

that is very good news, rose. Even with those antibiotics you should start to feel better once the fever subsides. *hugs* to you.

5:16 am

grannyrose

well, when you walk into a specialist's room, and he says, " you've become a very interesting case "...it so4 of leaves you dumbstruck!

5:16 am

sandyloo

I love that photo of your 'vlinder' Sprite it is lovely

5:17 am

sprite

lol yes! That is close to the chinese curse 'May you live in interesting times'.

5:17 am

grannyrose

herin, yoghurt is ok, but cranny juice? can i take the capsule instread

5:18 am

sprite

I second lady, ro4. Cranberry juice is one of the best things in the world to help your body fight infections. Yeah, it tastes ugly. But it helps.

5:20 am

grannyrose

i figured you lot would say that * grump, grump*

5:21 am

herinfernallady

You can get the tablet form but taking antibiotics for a long period of time stuffs your innards up

5:22 am

sprite

:D My girl had a chronic bladder infection, recurring antiobiotics, name it. Nothing seemed to help. I put her on cranberry juice for a couple of months and she never has had another infection since.

5:23 am

grannyrose

noooo, not the yakult, pleeese, not the yakult!

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Granny take pill form

5:24 am

herinfernallady

you can get it in the fridge section.

5:25 am

herinfernallady

at the health food store

5:26 am

grannyrose

yup. just remembered. * whew*

5:27 am

flosey

having trouble with re7 and 8, any clues please?

5:27 am

herinfernallady

Rose I would also suggest just having fresh fruits veggies and meats and ditch the fun stuff like sugar and chocolate

5:28 am

herinfernallady

No Idea sorry Flosey

5:28 am

sprite

hello flosey, pretty butterfly

5:28 am

grannyrose

i'd better go, haven't looked at my emails yet. and it's getting to half past bedtime for me. see you at the flip. and herin? will call you tomorrow for sure.

5:28 am

herinfernallady

Just reminded me I have to check email

grannyrose

flosey, a boating race and its plural

5:30 am

grannyrose

* poof *

5:31 am

herinfernallady

loves Rose

5:42 am

sprite

thanks ro4, got them. Now I will try to remember that one, because I have forgotten it a zillion times.

5:45 am

herinfernallady

I should clean the dishes :(

5:46 am

sprite

I should tidy up the living room. And I should take a shower.

5:46 am

sandyloo

Im in the process of dirtying ours

5:47 am

sprite

hehehe sandy :) That is one of my strong suits.

Did you all check out my profile text?

5:48 am

sandyloo

I always do that is how I know that the photo is such a good photo of a vlinder

5:49 am

sprite

:D thank you sandy! I really loved that list of butterfly names in other languages. The list on the site is much longer. And not a single one resembles the butter and fly principle. Isn't it amazing?

5:51 am

sandyloo

It is Sprite, when I saw the word 'buttorfleoge" I immediately thought that was the dutch word for butterfly and was surprised to see vlinder

5:53 am

sprite

am just checking the etymology of vlinder, and that is interesting.

5:54 am

sprite

let me translate quickly...

6:03 am

sprite

ok, translation added to profile text, beneath the list of names.

6:04 am

J40

Hi all

We did test a few & they were lovely - some of the bigger one will get dipped in chocolate later!

6:07 am

Thanksgiving vacation in Utica, 1976, I toured Colgate, Hamilton + Syracuse Univ as a HS senior.

10:01 am

Judi

Did you go to school at any of those places?

10:01 am

Scrabbler

My mother graduated from SU in 1953. I went to swim camp at Colgate twice, in the early '90s when I was on a US Masters Swim team

10:02 am

Scrabbler

Nope, Judi, I stayed home for college + med school and went to Univ of Buffalo, 15 min from home.

Cool. I'm pretty sure she worked there in the 40s & 50's. Mildred Wegelin was her name.

10:04 am

Judi

She worked in the maternity ward. Loved to cuddle those babies.

10:05 am

10:24 am

Scrabbler

Saturday's forecast in Lake Placid = high of 67, 20% chance of rain. Hiking in the rain sucks.

10:24 am

blueheron

I had to say goodbye to my kitty of 16 years yesterday. It just broke my heart.

10:24 am

periwinkle

yes, bichon, I said ty at 10:21

10:24 am

bichon

Tell me about it Scrabs. We hiked in Norway last summer in the rain a whole lot

10:25 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no! It is SO darn tough to lose our pet companions!!!

10:25 am

bichon

oky peri, didn't see it

10:25 am

periwinkle

OMG, I am so sorry blueheron, my heart goes out to you. my kitty is at the vets

10:25 am

periwinkle

what was wrong with your kitty, blue, if you don't mind my asking

10:26 am

blueheron

She waited until we got back from Germany. Her kidneys were shutting down.

10:26 am

bichon

I'm taking Bisky, my 16+ y.o. Bichon to the vet for his shots tomorrow. It makes me feel optimistic that he will live longer, despite so many things wrong with him

10:26 am

Scrabbler

Poor honey

10:26 am

periwinkle

awww, so sad, but bittersweet that she waited for you to get back

10:27 am

periwinkle

Scrabbs when I was at the vet the other day, someone had a pet bunny to be checked and I thought of you :)

10:27 am

Scrabbler

when they stop eating they are ready to go--the vets have always told me that with my bunnies.

10:28 am

blueheron

yes it was bittersweet. It is so devastating when we lose our animals.

10:28 am

Scrabbler

I have 4 bunnies buried in the pet cemetery next to my house.

10:29 am

Yes, we look for them around the house, think we see them, continue with our pet-caring routines.

10:29 am

Scrabbler

I still call my downstairs' bunny "Callie" even though Callie died over 2 yrs ago.

10:30 am

bichon

My hubby won't let me get another dog

10:30 am

Scrabbler

I say, sorry, Miss Bea (Beatrix Potter), I was thinking of Callie.

10:31 am

Scrabbler

You have mentioned that, Bichon, but how do you feel? I cannot imagine not having a bunny in the house, at least one. I have 4 now.

10:32 am

rururocks

Scrabbler

But you have adorable Dylan! Hi Ruru!

10:32 am

rururocks

he's no bunny

10:32 am

bichon

I feel awful, but there are strong reason not too. They're not house contained and we go away a lot and that puts a burden on my daughter. And, my granddaughter here in CT is really not old enough to be around a puppy

10:33 am

blueheron

I know, this morning after I got out of the shower I was looking for her, she loved it when I wrung my hair out on her. I'm sorry I can't type anymore through my tears. Thank you all for your support.

10:34 am

11:20 am

stidmama

I haven't heard from saanich cat or raelite about if they can come, I know hetty can'
t

11:20 am

stidmama

shall I find an inexpensive lodging for you close to our place then?

11:20 am

weiik

seattle is a nice city .. .worked there 4 a little while

11:20 am

flosey

haven't seen anything of saanich or raelite online for quite a while

11:21 am

stidmama

raelite has been sometimes in facebook, but not a lot.

11:21 am

stidmama

Seattle is okay as cities go. Getting a little too L.A.-like for my taste.

11:21 am

rururocks

seattle is nothing like LA..

11:21 am

flosey

I drove through Seattle once - during rush hour - in 1961 - would be interesting to see it at a better time of day

11:21 am

stidmama

box stores everywhere. Doesn't matter if you are here or there, you have the same selections. bah! *disgruntled mama look*

11:22 am

weiik

was there is 90s ... passed through going to olympia park

11:22 am

flosey

I dropped out of facebook

11:22 am

stidmama

well, since I-5 was built rush hour is ... um. hardly "rush" more like "where will the stop be today"

11:22 am

weiik

ugh LA ...

11:22 am

stidmama

babble meet is in Oly, weiik...

11:23 am

flosey

haven't seen LA since about 1950

11:23 am

rururocks

the women in Seattle have homemade breasts stid

11:23 am

weiik

flos, traffic is still bad on I5 .. once arrived during a blinding snow storm .. 10" on road, trees looked beautiful flocked with snow, drive was bad going to portland though

11:23 am

flosey

is Olympia a city or small town stid?

11:23 am

stidmama

L.A. has NOT improved with time. except there is a lot of family history down there for me, so I will go at least once more at some point.

11:24 am

rururocks

as opposed to LA

11:24 am

stidmama

Olympia has grown flosey, and styles itself a city (by population it is), but retains some of the inconveniences of small town without much of the charm remaining.

11:24 am

stidmama

hey ruru!

11:24 am

rururocks

anyone have the stats on the o in the corner?

11:24 am

stidmama

people on the western side of the cascades generally don't know how to drive in snow...

11:25 am

weiik

Olympia was just a visit .. walking through park .. hot springs .. on way to ruby beach .. make that a destination point

11:25 am

stidmama

I would pledge my word on that one, ruru

11:26 am

flosey

oa5/10 and oa4/5 I believe came from that o

11:26 am

11:32 am

weiik

11:32 am

stidmama

we have chard, a cucumber and a bunch of vounteer squash, also potatoes and garlic.

11:32 am

flosey

oh, yes, he brought garlic in the other day

11:33 am

crosshair

is vounteer squash better than the stuff that gets drafted for the job?

11:33 am

weiik

gardeners, how do i start scallions? Can I plant one and split it?

11:33 am

stidmama

we also have two empty beds waiting for winter crops. We'll buy starts this year. Next year when I am not taking any classes I hope to doo more intensive real gardening

11:33 am

flosey

lol, it can be, crossy! one never knows what you'll get if you plant some squashes too close to each other

11:34 am

stidmama

LOL cross! it's more difficult to "diagnose" and if it's anything like the hybridized kale might not be edible. but it's sure pretty to look at!

11:35 am

stidmama

or what flo said...

11:37 am

crosshair

think ill just stick to beefsteak tomatos,pea pods,romaine lettuce and green beans..do not know if i can handle mutated veggies lol

11:38 am

flosey

must be off - plumber coming today to install fixtures in powder room.

11:41 am

stidmama

11:53 am

hello everybody; I'm back to try and find a few more words

12:39 pm

dcseain

hi, ruby

12:39 pm

pythonx

hi ruby, how's your hubby?

12:40 pm

cybernan

hello everyone -- company has gone -- few days breather before the next batch

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

he is very depressed and starting to feel pain i places that were numb

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

and the hospital is a bad joke

12:41 pm

pythonx

is he on pain meds?

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

yes, I'm giving him a mild opiate, approved by his md, but the hospital is horribly disorganized

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

and the bruising is migrating, which I find very scary

12:42 pm

pythonx

sorry to hear that, will keep him in my prayers

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

The good news is that the dog is "in jail" for 3 wks and then will most likely be put down and the owner is insured!

12:42 pm

cybernan

hi ruby -- sorry to hear that hubby is not well

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

thank you python

12:42 pm

dcseain

pain where was numb is usually a good sign. that is good news about the dog.

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

nan, he was savaged by a huge dog last Friday

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

I am just worn out, trying to get all the various things organized

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

this is virtually my only respite!!

12:44 pm

pythonx

then babble yourself silly for a while!

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

I was hoping so, seain!

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

silly ruby, lol

12:44 pm

dcseain

may he heal well and quickly, ruby

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

ty seain!

12:44 pm

wildcat17

hi ruby sounds like things are improving some

12:44 pm

cybernan

oh ruby, that is terrible -- hope the dog has been put down

12:44 pm

wildcat17

how are you holding up?

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

and our village is wonderful!

12:45 pm

wildcat17

good news about the insurance too

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

they have to keep it for 3 wks first and he has already had 6 rabies shots

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

yes, that is a relief. If you can imagine, the man's wife works for the FR equivalent of the ASPCA and this was a rescue dog!

12:46 pm

wildcat17

you just never know about animals, especially if the owners do not take good care of them

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

the whole thing is bizarre!

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

and to take in a rescue dog that weighs about 100 lbs without knowing its background? crazy!

12:47 pm

Jellen

Hello all! ((ruby))

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

12:48 pm

pythonx

they definitely should have taken more precautions until they knew the dog bette

12:48 pm

hi Jellen

How's Tim?

dcseain

Still feeling miserable...brb

12:48 pm

cybernan

can't spot that top middle e -- anyone have the stats?

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

the man who was with the dog(Magique) at the time, came here yesterday to beg me to drop charges so he wouldn't go to jail and the dog wouldn't be killed. I did a French shrug

12:48 pm

Nancy Boy

that is very irresponsible Ruby - all shelters should assess their dogs and judge their suitability for being rehomed...

12:49 pm

dcseain

hi, NB

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

the woman works at the shelter!

12:49 pm

Nancy Boy

hey, Seain :)

oh, the5's a cake decision?

12:53 pm

wildcat17

mmm cake

12:53 pm

EvaNadine

i got to select the flavor combinations for the take-home kit his mom is picking up for us. :)

12:53 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh, not doing too badly at all thank you, Wild! I definitely have high hopes for being able to make my trip without crutches

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

I think we all need to come and help you choose the cake!

12:53 pm

wildcat17

I would hope so!

12:54 pm

wildcat17

I'll second that

12:54 pm

EvaNadine

dc -- there is a decision process underway. no decision just yet, other than NOT wanting to spend what the first place quoted us.

12:54 pm

dcseain

cool, Eva

12:54 pm

Nancy Boy

Well if you want a second opinion, Eva, you know where to send that cake ;)

12:54 pm

Jellen

Back...had a phone call...

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

we are certainly great judges of cake, especially those of us who hv spent time in the PB!

12:55 pm

wildcat17

how are you holding up jell?

12:55 pm

Jellen

Oh my, another large grid! How is it?

12:55 pm

EvaNadine

this is what i chose for the take-hom kit:

(1) carrot cake with cream cheese filling and vanilla buttercream frosting

(2) white cake with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream frosting

(3) yellow cake with caramel filling and caramel buttercream frosting (caramel is their house specialty)

(4) grand marnier cake with orange filling and vanilla buttercream frosting

(5) white cake with raspberry filling and lemon buttercream frosting

(6) red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and vanilla buttercream frosting

12:55 pm

bichon

not bad Jellen if you plug along

12:55 pm

wildcat17

not bad so far

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

I reached past half!

12:56 pm

Jellen

Didn't get much sleep last night, but I'm staying at a hotel tonight...

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

eva: you like the same flavors I do!!!!

12:56 pm

EvaNadine

and we have a full tasting at a different place before we even get around to the take-home kit!
gonna be all caked out. ;)

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

hi bichon, anything new on the dreaded inlaws!

12:56 pm

Jellen

I'll take a slice of #1 and #3, please!

12:57 pm

12:57 pm

213 is as far as i'm going to get without lickety

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

dcseain

wtg, nan

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

213 is a lot more than I'll get hahah

12:58 pm

cybernan

make that 215

12:58 pm

wildcat17

it all sounds yummy eva

12:58 pm

bichon

Oh, no. We live 25 miles from them, so our paths haven't really crossed.

12:59 pm

EvaNadine

i was amazed at how BAD some of the cakes i have tasted are. at one place, i got a piece of white chocolate cake on the same plate as a piece of wild strawberry cake. when i walked back to my friends, i couldnt remember which was which. they looked and tasted identical.
NOT a good sign!

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

sounds lucky to me!

12:59 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm not sure what I want more now Eva...cake or grand marnier...

1:00 pm

EvaNadine

put your hands together, NB ;)

1:01 pm

dcseain

no, not a good sing, Eva

1:01 pm

Nancy Boy

I'll settle for what we have here in the flat...fruit and wine!

1:11 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh no, it's strictly a hobby for him - I don't think he'd enjoy it so much if it was work ;) he is very good though...one of his many skills!

1:11 pm

bichon

on day when the humidity is so high it's unbelievable I've gotten any words.

1:12 pm

EvaNadine

i hear ya. the best way to ruin the fun of a hobby is to make it a job.
but if ever he needs a buck, at least he has a way!

wildcat17

I drink tea all the time nancy

1:34 pm

dcseain

many of us drink tea, NB

1:34 pm

EvaNadine

my parents are british. im as good as one of you. ;)

1:34 pm

congarts, nan

1:34 pm

featherbee

i love tea, but i'm boring, prefer lipton's or just earl grey

1:34 pm

featherbee

don't like coffee at all

1:35 pm

EvaNadine

this one is orange, mango, cinnamon.
my "usual" blend is a rooibos chat mixed with mattevana, which has little flecks of chocolate in it.
i have several other varieties around also. ;)

1:35 pm

bichon

I'm with you feath. It's tea, black, all the way with me

1:35 pm

cybernan

ever tried lady grey, feather? -- been drinking that ever since Murchie's Earl Grey has not been available.

1:35 pm

wildcat17

speaking of, I need another cup ...

1:35 pm

featherbee

nope, haven't seen it! will try it if i do

1:35 pm

cybernan

Twinings blend

1:36 pm

featherbee

oh, and i did really like one blend that barnes and noble used to have, ginger peach

1:36 pm

EvaNadine

this one ive got right now is a Twinings blend :)

1:37 pm

dcseain

ro7=8 a cool word

1:37 pm

Nancy Boy

Mmm, that sounds good Eva! I've been drinking green tea with ginger and lemon recently, and it's deliiicious.

1:37 pm

cybernan

most americans do not drink tea, NB -- especially those in the south. Whenever we go south for the winter I always take a kettle and teapot with me, because chances are that neither will be in the house we rent!

1:39 pm

featherbee

whenever we have our superintendent's days or other large gatherings for our school district, there's always 2 coffee pots, regular and decaf, and a hot water pot for tea

1:39 pm

Nancy Boy

I couldn't live without tea. Got a new favourite which is white tea with peach juice. Easily the best-tasting non-alcoholic drink I've ever had!

1:39 pm

wildcat17

clue dc

1:40 pm

dcseain

the ro7 of plants is important to their health

1:40 pm

EvaNadine

that sounds lovely, NB!

1:41 pm

dcseain

I live in the South, and we drink plenty of tea, if mostly sweetened on ice

1:41 pm

EvaNadine

i have recently discovered sweet tea vodka. thats dangerous stuff. ;)

1:42 pm

Nancy Boy

it is Eva, I pretty much live on it now ;)

1:42 pm

Nancy Boy

ooh, I don't like sweetened tea Seain...I grew up in a house of tea purists, so that's probably why!

1:43 pm

dcseain

sweet iced tea, never hot

1:44 pm

EvaNadine

i used to only drink my tea with tons of sugar (silly american kid)
now i still like to sweeten my iced tea, but i prefer a tea (iced or hot) that has its own flavor so i dont have to sweeten it.

1:45 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm still trying to find the closest match possible to the chrysanthemum tea my family makes...it's delicious but short of making it myself, I can't get it anywhere!

1:46 pm

Trifioso

hello friends. nancyboy, I showed my son your friends' drawings, and he was mighty, mighty impressed!

1:47 pm

dcseain

chrysantemum tea is a BIG happy!

1:47 pm

EvaNadine

is this family you will be seeing in korea, NB?
if so, get a whole stash. :)

1:47 pm

cybernan

The tea was one of my disappointments in China. I was so looking forward to trying a lot of different kinds, which I did, but the teas there are not blended and the ones that I tried were all very flat with a bitter after taste.

1:48 pm

featherbee

hmm, is christine r. in here?

1:48 pm

cybernan

anyone want any clues before I leave?

1:49 pm

ChampFit

1:50 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Eva, as opposed to the many other families I have? :P

1:50 pm

ChampFit

You're right. Haven't done it yet. There are so many words that they fall off the tree! But must be organized about it...

1:50 pm

1:56 pm

EvaNadine

Nancy Boy

1:59 pm

EvaNadine

oh, im sure you will be alright. will you have access to the net while youre there?

2:00 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm not sure - probably the first few days, but after that I'll be travelling down to Jeju so I'll probably lose some contact. I'll try and keep everyone updated though ;)

2:01 pm

ChampFit

2:22 pm

Trifioso

Hello, stidmama and wildcat. Quiet, I see.

2:43 pm

stidmama

hey vi! how's you today?

2:44 pm

Vicuna

Not bad, thanks. Keeping an ear on the room where playdate is sounding slightly cranky. How are you?

2:45 pm

stidmama

not bad also. decided to not worry about the state of the house today... but might finish clearing my mess from the desk in the living room later if I have the energy... I hate that I am so far from having a nice, neat house. I have about three weeks before I am officially back in school. *grumble*

2:46 pm

wildcat17

hi vic

2:46 pm

Vicuna

Oh, I hear that. I dislike a messy house - but I dislike cleaning it, too. On any given day you never know which one will come out stronger. Usually the lazier option, I'm afraid.

2:47 pm

kje

i'm with you vi

2:47 pm

stidmama

yes, housekeeping is lowest priority (as long as bathroom and kitchen aren't too unsanitary)

2:47 pm

stidmama

hey kje

2:47 pm

stidmama

any help on the is word?

2:48 pm

Vicuna

oh, I suspected an is word, but haven't found one yet. What's the letter count?

2:48 pm

ChampFit

Cleaning is like putting beads on a string that doesn't have a knot at the end!

2:48 pm

stidmama

is 8

2:49 pm

Vicuna

Good analogy, ChampFit. What's the point when it'll just get messy again? =)

2:49 pm

2:50 pm

Vicuna

Oh, thanks, zoozzoom. Knew it had to be those first 3 letters, but couldn't come up with the last.

2:50 pm

kje

ty zoom, was pretty sure it started with that prefix

2:50 pm

stidmama

thank zoom. wanted an M on the end of the word! LOL

Peri, is your cat showing any positive response to meds yet?

4:32 pm

periwinkle

4:33 pm

jillibus

what's the matter with your cat, peri?

4:33 pm

Nancy Boy

Fingers are firmly crossed, Peri! Best of luck with that one :)

4:33 pm

periwinkle

I will not be able to keep her here if she is still peeing utside the box, but she has has the gel med for almost a week and will have had the pills for a week, so hopefully she will be fine. I will be keeping her upstairs with me.

4:33 pm

periwinkle

thanks so much for asking, NB

4:34 pm

jillibus

ah yes, I remember -- the pee problem. Was it an infection?

4:34 pm

Nancy Boy

You're welcome Peri, I really hope you get to keep her! I love the kitties here but I miss my little Lola to pieces. I saw her the other day when I went round to collect my old laptop, and she came tearing out of the flat to meet me!

4:35 pm

jillibus

Aww, sad, NB!

4:35 pm

periwinkle

Dorens

well owl, why not just say you'd like to pop in for a night or two?

6:27 pm

Hey Pav! Nice icon ;) looks like you've kept it for nearly a month - now that is dedication :P

10:41 pm

PAV3

HI NB...I've actually been away...too tired to play, I guess, and then last week my Mac-mini crashed...got the replacement last night and am restoring everything as I had before...

10:42 pm

PAV3

and the photo was for you, NB....

10:42 pm

Nancy Boy

Appreciated ;) did you have a good time away?

10:43 pm

PAV3

didn't go anywhere, just mostly catching up on rest and house chores...work gets in the way, and July-Aug are my busiest, so I usually just come home feed the dogs and crash...

10:44 pm

PAV3

carlee...what's a banafee pie?

10:45 pm

PAV3

NB...how was the bd? and the sketches are yours?

10:46 pm

Nancy Boy

Ahh, the birthday was great, thanks! Got a really scary/surprising gift, but managed to sprain my ankle...and very much enjoyed everyone's icons! Lots of the ladies here threw themselves into the spirit of things ;)

10:46 pm

carleekat

oh... banoffee pie..its a brit concoction... u take a can of sweetened condensed milk..unopenned and boil the crap out of it... until becomes a caramel consistency and u spread that on a cracker crust... then you take double cream with some vanilla and some cut up bananas.... mix it gently and spread on the caramel layer.... top with whipped cream

10:47 pm

Nancy Boy

oh, and the sketches are by my flatmate Frank :)

10:47 pm

carleekat

dble cream... has about twice the milk fat as whipping cream... its not for the faint of heart... but..once in a while is so yummm

10:48 pm

carleekat

(I noticed
the sketches last time i was here nb...they are very nice... )

10:48 pm

Nancy Boy

thank you on his behalf, Carlee!

10:48 pm

PAV3

He has a great model!

10:49 pm

oh no Pav, I was the worst model ;) kept fidgeting and talking...I needed entertainment!

a and sw 5 18. what girls did over the beatles.

10:51 pm

carleekat

google recipes....here in canada u can only buy the sweetened condenced milk in a pop top can...which would explode under pressure..so there is a way of taking the gloop..adding butter and brown sugar and bringing it to a gentle simmer

10:51 pm

Jellen

at 6/18, please?

10:51 pm

carleekat

and if u make up whipped cream... ( un sweetened ) and add sour cream and vanilla u can approximate to right consistency for the cream with the bananas

10:52 pm
