Hi! Good morning!

Hi Car. Hello Trif, who is here but not here.
6:25 am
MollyL

Hey there Jean, how are you doing today?
6:26 am
EspritdJean

just slogging through
6:26 am
EspritdJean

early flight to NJ tomorrow for wake and funeral
6:26 am
MollyL

Some days, that is all you can do. How is your nephew's fiance holding up?
6:27 am
EspritdJean

she is devastated
6:27 am
EspritdJean

it will hit much harder when all the commotion dies down
6:27 am
MollyL

She will need a lot of love and support. I will keep her in my prayers. What is her name?
6:27 am
EspritdJean

Kelly
6:28 am
Anniebrook

Jean, there was a story about your nephew on the news last night. They said he was a much beloved police officer. They were down in Lakewood, NJ and showed a picture of Chris and his fiancee. Also spoke to his friends. Everyone is very devastated.
6:28 am
EspritdJean

yes the outpouring has been beyond belief
6:28 am
MollyL

Good. I will send out special blessings for Kelly. I think the nicest thing you can do for someone who has lost a loved one is to be there a month later, when everyone has "gone back to normal life".
6:29 am
EspritdJean

and the month after that and the month after that . . .
6:29 am
herinfernallady

Hi. Blessings be
6:29 am
EspritdJean

she has a wonderful mother and sister, a lot of friends, and the cops will be looking out for her
6:31 am

I can tell you from experience that a lot of people promise things early on that they don't follow through on later.
6:34 am

Molly is absolutely right.
6:35 am

I tend to try and have faith in my friends
6:36 am
Trifioso

hello for real, now. Esprit, I did not know you had a loss in your family. I will pray for Kelly, and for you all. I am so sorry to hear this news
6:37 am
EspritdJean

thank you all
6:37 am
Trifioso

car, my love, are you still here?
6:37 am
MollyL

What I have learned is to gently remind people. For instance, the other night my son was really missing his Dad and step Dad. I called his brother and arranged for a "guy day" yesterday. It was very good for the boy.
6:39 am
EspritdJean

Molly - I like the quotes in your profile, and I remember that episode of B&S

I am frustrated by the very little coverage on the news here, but I have told everyone about it and to pray for our Aussie friends.
6:43 am

I know that Vic is flooded near the border
6:43 am

Jean, I have to go back and read that quote from time to time, to keep things in perspective.
6:44 am
Trifioso

Car, need to give you a quick heads up - -- tertiare has a rotten cold, but went trundling off to school anyway, as I am working 10 - 3:15. If she tanks, the school will call you. If that is not going to work, lmk, and I will arrange something else
6:44 am

molly, that quote helped ME a lot as well, so thank you for posting it.

over the long weekend, car...it's for an advanced grade, or something. Jody and I both said the exact same thing, which is so funny: "great job, but see? you DO need to sit up straight!"
6:46 am
carleekat

morning..i see annie finally has her larger grid
6:46 am
MollyL

Your son drew that Trif? Wow, he is VERY talented.
6:47 am
Trifioso

morning carlee, and LOL, I thought that exact same thing!
6:47 am
Trifioso

yes, molly, he did, and I am the usual proud.
6:47 am
carleekat

it is a lovely self portrait ( i am presuming is a self portrait...)
6:47 am
MollyL

Trif, my oldest did an over the shoulder full length self portrait for his senior project in art school. It hangs proudly in my hallway.
6:47 am
Anniebrook

Trif, Wow. That is great. Your son has talent.
6:47 am
herinfernallady

Opps I meant the oldest. Sorry. I was desperatly trying to think of his ''name
6:48 am
Trifioso

yes, it is carlee. the nose isn't exactly right, but the expression is DEAD on, and the posture too, sadly!
6:48 am
carleekat

hahaah...but its...natural
6:48 am
Trifioso

I marvel at all the small details - the pattern on the rug, the necklace he wears, the folds in the shirt. I just marvel at what he can do
6:49 am
Trifioso

hmmm - sad. no love for the Hoff in todays grid, lololol
6:49 am

Esprite did I scare you off
6:50 am

6:50 am
carleekat

they are sooo sore this morning..i slept..but my eyes really hurt
6:51 am
Trifioso

what is wrong with your eyes, my love?
6:51 am
carleekat

they are just...sore...
6:51 am
carleekat

tired..i woke up feeling like i was in a smoky club all night last night
6:52 am
Trifioso

whoa. are you going to get that checked out? it sounds awful!
6:52 am
carleekat

no....in another 30 mins will feel normal
6:53 am
Trifioso

are you sure? that sounds most concerning
6:53 am
carleekat

i think with onset of menopause my eyes are just dryer..if that makes any sense...i've had to use eye drops for first time in life..about the same time as i became premenopausal
6:54 am
Trifioso

god help us all. menopause. A pause, to reconsider men.
6:55 am
carleekat

i just wake up with super tired eyes...
6:59 am
carleekat

so....annie..are you enjoying your big grid?
6:59 am
MollyL

Carlee, are your eyes itchy? Could it be conjunctivitis?
7:00 am
carleekat

no..not itchy...just...tired :)
7:00 am
carleekat

they already better
7:00 am
Anniebrook

I wish we had this grid yesterday when I had the time but will break this up into segments throughout the day...do you like this grid, carlee?
7:00 am
Anniebrook

I am addicted to babble...I am powerless
7:01 am
carleekat

i think i am just bored with babble again.... in another week or so i will sink my teeth in again
7:01 am
Trifioso

whoops! just found my daughter in the grid!
7:01 am
MollyL

Dry eyes are a side effect of menopause. It can be worse if you use antihistamines.
7:01 am
Anniebrook

Trif, first 2 letters please
7:01 am
carleekat

there we go...menopause... as i thought...the timing coincided :)
7:01 am
Trifioso

its not a real word, annie....fi, anyway

I am getting a lot more relaxed about using their real names on line, now that 2 of them have FB accounts anyway....
7:03 am

rain freezing rain and snow for us today..yippee
7:04 am
MollyL

We had freezing rain overnight. Everything is closed. If I go into work, it will be much later.
7:04 am
Anniebrook

just a first name is not a problem..not the entire name
7:04 am
carleekat

i never worried about my kids names.. my theory is..there are millions of people online....why would anyone specifically pick me....the odds...
7:05 am
carleekat

we had FR overnight too...but was done by 4 am ( when my cell phone went off to let me know the freezing rain was done)
7:05 am
MollyL

My husband used to post his kids pictures on line. I put a stop to that real quick.
7:06 am
Trifioso

I dont know why I am paranoid about it. I just am, I guess.
7:06 am
carleekat

my kids post pics....
7:06 am
Trifioso

I put family photos on FB, molly....
7:06 am
Anniebrook

better to be paranoid then sorry, as they say
7:07 am
herinfernallady

I have everything private
7:07 am
MollyL

Yeah, but Trif, I would assume your Facebook settings are for "private".
7:08 am
MollyL

My husband was posting his kids pictures on a general message board.
7:08 am
Trifioso

I think they are, yes, but I know primo and secondo dont privatize their stuff, and they are friends with hundreds of school mates, and friends from other schools. at a certain point, they are out there, and it's done. I tell them ALL them time, don't ever, ever ever put something online and think it's private, because it just ....isn't. not even email
7:10 am
Anniebrook

Isnt barette an accepted word in the english language? Is not Enable an english dictionary? Oh well, no fighting with Enable
7:10 am
Trifioso

I think it has two r's, annie

there nbt
7:10 am

thanks trif..I feel better now ..I thought it might have 2 R's
7:11 am
Trifioso

oh! I almost forgot! Took my mom to see "the king's speech" this weekend, and was BLOWN AWAY. It's so, so so amazingly good! Highly recommend!
7:11 am
carleekat

is it enertaining or gut wrenching?
7:11 am
Anniebrook

that film is on my netflix list
7:12 am
Trifioso

hmmm. not gut wrenching. but difficult, yes, in parts, only because you feel so keenly for this poor man, trying to get his words out. Mostly it was funny, and really inspiring, and so well done. And did I mention, Colin Firth?
7:13 am
carleekat

i am in a place right now i can only handle entertaining movies...too much drama in life..i dont choose drama in my spare time
7:13 am
Trifioso

Jennifer Ehrle (sp?) who was, of course, in P&P with him back in the day, plays Geoffery Rush's wife, and the scene when they meet has an extra layer of humor on it, just for that factor
7:13 am
Trifioso

carlee, you would love it. I promise. it's a great escape
7:14 am
carleekat

i can handle sweet home alabama and dirty dancing..that is about as much as i can take
7:14 am
herinfernallady

Carlee you need to watch the early years of Roseanne
7:14 am
MollyL

Thanks for the recommendation Trif. There are so few movies I will spend my time on these days. I'm with Carlee. Too much drama in real life. The Black Swan? No freaking thanks.
7:15 am

we doing last season of ugly betty and first season of glee
7:15 am

people actually broke out into applause at the end. when that last time you heard THAT?
7:15 am

but thanks..i might consider it..my son just got netflicks for his xbox...we enjoying this season of top gear
7:15 am
MollyL

Rocky, is the ONLY time I heard applause in the movie theater.
7:16 am
Trifioso

the king's speech has MUCH less drama and angst than last season on glee, I promise!
7:16 am

sadly when i went to last twilight in theatres... the 3rd one
7:16 am
Trifioso

I hope nancy boy drops in today. he doesn't speak to me anymore, but I would love for him to see primo's art sample....
7:17 am
MollyL

My shows that I watch on DVD are Brothers & Sisters and Parenthood. I seem sucked into family shows these days. Perhaps it's the circle of love and support they portray.
7:17 am
Trifioso

molly, i am a b&S fan too, and was concerned to hear that are not sure they are being picked up for another season!
7:17 am
MollyL

Trif, I hope you and NB can work out whatever went wrong. Perhaps ask him for an email talk about it?
7:17 am
Trifioso

I would LOVE that molly!
7:18 am
carleekat

i never watched that one...
7:18 am
Trifioso

he just stopped speaking to me, entire
7:18 am
MollyL

Trif, the Brothers & Sisters writers are not up to snuff this season. I will be sad, but not surprised, if they are not renewed. Did you see it this week? What is up with Balthazar Getty? He looks ill.
7:19 am
Trifioso

I agree, molly. Too much time with Sienna Miller, I guess! She looks like she could wear a man out.

I have enjoyed watching my friend's 2 dogs together--3 yr old Choc Lab + 2 yr old Peke-a-Poo. The size difference makes their actions even funnier.

indy has grown so big, and so fast! diggity is really not too chuffed with this development, and keeps giving me this "you never said it was going to get BIGGER" look

9:42 am

No, it has spherical flower heads with little florets that look artificial as if they are made of cream velvet. Seed pods are little cubical packets. Maybe a Mediterranean plant.

well, we had a couple of inches of snow up here before it turned into freezing rain. lost electricity for a while this morning and i am afraid it might happen later on for a longer time.
9:59 am
CiociaJudy

Oh no Dorens! Didn't clean the car off yet because it's still freezing rain. Thankfully no power problems so far. Fire whistle blew earlier; thinking an accident on the local highway.

Hi riverdance, would you ratner have our freezing rain? We dont dare to leave the house in southern Michigan
10:01 am
Dorens

i once drove up there during snow, when Phoebe was only a couple of months old and i just couldn't stand not seeing her. a very memorable drive!
10:02 am
Riverdance

Oh I am sure - best to be careful and take it slow if you must come
10:03 am
Riverdance

unfortunately inge, its supposed to change over here this afternoon to sleet and freezing rain - hope they let us out of work early before that happens. I would much rather drive in snow.
10:03 am
Dorens

and this time i know to avoid the merritt parkway! it was just dreadful... but it was lots of snow coming down..
10:03 am
HarryHood

hi all! did I hear merritt parkway?
10:03 am
HarryHood

I've been shovelling slush off my balcony to prevent collapse
10:04 am
Dorens

yes harry, just said that i have learned to avoid it in heavy snow!
10:04 am
HarryHood

we had major leakage in the house last week from an ice dam
10:04 am
Dorens

oh no. i've had ice dams... they are nasty
10:04 am
HarryHood

good idea dorens...avoid CT in general in heavy snow :)
10:04 am
Riverdance

Hi Harry - are you vented into your attic?
10:04 am
Dorens

hard to get from NJ to Mass without CT... it can be done via thruway, but not sure if it makes sense
10:05 am
HarryHood

it's a mess rd - we've only had the house a year - they replaced the slate roof with asphalt shingles, and made a mess of it....there's a section with flat roof and no insulation (!!!)
10:05 am
HarryHood

dorens - TZ to 287 to 684 to 84 to mass pike
10:05 am
HarryHood

it's the hypotenuse
10:06 am
Riverdance

oh no Harry - when we first bought our house 24 years ago we had bad ice dams - once we revented the bathrooms and insulated well, it all stopped
10:06 am
Dorens

yup.. i used to always go that way harry... i've found i much prefer the merritt.. mch more pleasant, no trucks and i manage to make good time... but NOT in bad weather... 684 then for sure
10:06 am
HarryHood

yes, we'll ahve to replace sections of roof and insulate well
10:06 am
Dorens

you have summer projects planned now harry, yes?
10:07 am
Dorens

insulation is well worth it
10:07 am
HarryHood

merritt is nice when there's no traffic...but one slowpoke and you're finished
10:07 am
hootowl

May I ask why you replaced a slate roof???
10:07 am
HarryHood

I've spent lots of time insulating the knee walls and crawl spaces, but hadn't know that the ceiling spaces were uninsulated
10:07 am
HarryHood

hoot - previous owner.
10:08 am
Dorens

i know how to get around slowpokes on the merritt.. and it keeps me awake, having to figure out my moves...
10:08 am
hootowl

oh - idiot
10:08 am
HarryHood

house needed a new roof and he didn't want to spring for slate
10:08 am
Kalyn

then sells it to you... nice
10:08 am
HarryHood

went with some fly-by-night roofer, and they screwed it all up
10:08 am

hi,just shoveled ice from the back driveway and my jeans are soaking wet :(
10:08 am
HarryHood

it was his mother's and she died
10:08 am
hootowl

My ubderstanding is that slate is forever. Maybe replace afew over time?
10:09 am
Dorens

slate is very expensive, though. and does need replacing sometimes.. my bf last year had to
10:09 am
HarryHood

slate lasts about 100 years, I think. The house was built in 1915, so it was about time
10:09 am
HarryHood

we'd be out about $40k to put up slate
10:09 am
Dorens

fortunately he was ridiculousy rich..
10:10 am
HarryHood

so can he pay for ours too?
10:10 am

It was a doctor's regular habit to stop off at a bar for a hazelnut daiquiri on his way home and, aware of his habit, the bartender would always have the drink waiting for him at precisely 5:18 PM. One afternoon as the end of the work-day neared the bartender was dismayed to find he was out of hazelnut extract but, thinking quickly, he threw together a daiquiri made with hickory nuts and set it on the bar. The doctor came in at his regular time, took one sip of the drink, then exclaimed: "This isn't a hazelnut daiquiri", to which the bartender replied, "No, I'm sorry, it's a hickory daiquiri, doc

If a dog were your teacher, you would learn stuff like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience.
Let others know when they’ve invaded your territory.
Take naps and stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout… run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you’re not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
And MOST of all… When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by
and nuzzle them gently.

6:47 pm
72 Temple Owl

well i am not the same.
6:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Yeah- anytime anyone has asked for the re5 since 1 A.A. EST, the response has to have been "where Winehouse didn't want to go."
6:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Chog has a part of me that is real, but often doesn't get expressed...
6:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne

because of inappropriateness.
6:49 pm
72 Temple Owl

that is very plausible
6:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne

However I have passed notes during meetings that have made people lose it.
6:51 pm
Kaplan the Magne

We were once doing a group interview and I wrote to my neighbor "She looks like Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie" and my friend had to run out of the room coughing to not laugh
6:52 pm

in a chog you can express any of your thought or opinions because even if people judge you for them it doesnt matter because they are not in your life to make things awkward

On the other hand, I have seen people get deeply hurt when they have been "taken to task" in this chat log.

in a chat on another site we were all joking about the urban meaning of snool. But there is nooooo way i would bring that up with most of my conservative friends and family!

There are some people who totally dig drama. I think they are the ones who perpetuate on line feuds.

luckily my grandmother hates computers!
7:00 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I agree- I think it is a kind of addiction /compulsion that some people have to stir things up. It's like bullying, but worse because you don't know who it is and what areas of your life theyy will invade.
7:01 pm

well in one ase, the person begged the other's email address so they could allegedly apologoze for being nasty in hog

9:40 pm

I woke up feeling 'out of sorts', not ill, but clumsy and kind of depressed. Not a good start, since I had a complicated themed birthday cake to make for Other Half's birthday on 19th Jan. The cake, which ws supposed to be a lorry, since he's a trucker, ended up looking like it had been in a crash. I've made many theme cakes, but this one looks like a 4-year-old tried to put it together. Then, whilst kneading the fondant icing to colour it, black food dye squibbed out all over my white tee-shirt. Then the g/pig died. Like I said, not the best of days!
9:40 pm

I was also worried because my daughter is in Slovenia at the moment, on her travels, and I'd not heard from her. I did hear from her after some frantic texting from both me and her father (my ex) but, in the end, she spoke to me through Facebook. Seems she's got a rotten cold.
9:41 pm

River! January 19th was my dad's birthday...a good day to be born!
9:41 pm

cant believe you actually tried fondant....are you crazy????
9:42 pm

we always worry about our children...wow - Slovenia - what is she doing there?
9:42 pm

River - I hate fondant icing, too sweet for me, but it's the only way to go for themed cakes. I don't normally have problems with it.

Jacula

River - she's taken a year out after getting her BA Hons to travel before doing her Masters Degree. She's not doing a lot in Slovenia it seems, due to being ill. She's off to neighbouring Hungary next week after a couple of days at home. Before that it was Barcelona, and before that Munich. In March, she's off to Australia, Tasmania and then on the Canada. Unfortunately, she's supposed to be starting off in Brisbane, and the ticket was paid for 3 days before the floods. Not sure what's going to happen about that.

The love of word games is a handicap since we all got on the internet!
10:12 pm
Jacula

So many words games, not enough time....
10:12 pm
Jillyjill

Isn't that true!! but none with the social aspects that Babble has..
10:12 pm
Jacula

I think it is just us now, Jilly.
10:13 pm
Jillyjill

Well, it's close to bedtime for me too....
10:13 pm
Jacula

There are some nice people on Word Tornado, but it's only transitory chat during the game really, and you do get some prats on there. Mind you, prats can enter any game.
10:14 pm
Jillyjill

Seen my share here...
10:14 pm
Jillyjill

but we're more of a secret...
10:14 pm
Jacula

Well, I think it's time we both called it a day and leave any future gridders to work it out for themselves. See you next grid, maybe. Nice to chat again for a while. x
10:15 pm
Jillyjill

Same here...take care Jacula! Niters all!

Hello Jill :-)
10:53 pm
jillibus

hi diane -- thought I was alone here!
10:53 pm
dianedecoder

..... coming to you from sunny Arizona :-)
10:54 pm
jillibus

Oh! Where in AZ? I have several friends wintering there.
10:54 pm
dianedecoder

We have a satellite dish from home, ( Star Choice aka Shaw Direct ) .... was watching Victoria news and saw some good coverage re: your Lady Minton hospital. ( not sure if I've got the right name )
10:55 pm
dianedecoder

We are in Casa Grande... midway between Phoenix and Tucson.... and we have many friends from the Edmonton down here too, although spread all over!
10:56 pm
jillibus

Lady Minto -- I missed that -- what was it? We're very much involved in Save Our Surgery here.
10:56 pm
dianedecoder

Our son built a home here 5 years ago and we and his inlaws get to enjoy it for free !
10:57 pm
dianedecoder

There was an interview with a doctor,... and they spoke to a group of ladies; I believe they are part of a group working to save services.
10:57 pm
jillibus

Lucky you! I just switched from Sahw Direct to Shaw cable, to get their bundle with phone and internet.
10:57 pm
dianedecoder

I think that's the name of the group... I even looked to see if you were there!!
10:58 pm
jillibus

Oh I wish I'd seen that! was it on CTV or CBC?
10:58 pm
dianedecoder

I really miss our Canadian and local news when we come down here, so this satellite is so nice to have.
10:58 pm

Christine

oh, drat
10:59 pm
jillibus

I did go to an early SOS meeting. I wonder who the doctor was -- Roy Preshaw?
10:59 pm
dianedecoder

We just happened to be watchiing the Victoria station, so not sure of the network.
10:59 pm
dianedecoder

I don't remember his name... it showed quite a few pictures of the facility... looks modern and bright
11:00 pm
jillibus

I think that would be CHEK, 358 on Shaw Direct.
11:00 pm
dianedecoder

Of course my ears perked up when I heard Salt Spring Island mentioned , so left the kitchen area and sat down and watched it .
11:02 pm
jillibus

It' a lovely little hospital and islanders raised about $80,000 for the operating room, back with more form the gov't -- then someone fired the surgeon and claimed they couldn't find another one and closed the brand new OR, now wanting to get rid of all the equipment.
11:03 pm
jillibus

sorry about the typos -- hope you can deci[her the meaning.
11:04 pm
dianedecoder

that is what the item was about.... and what was to become of all their efforts back "when".... I'll bet you knew the ladies in the ... they looked like seniors.
11:05 pm
jillibus

the thing is, all surgery now has to be done off island, meaning ferry fares and time, plus hotels to stay in, for anyone wanting to visit an ailing islander. Having been in that situation, it's stressful for a patient to be alone.
11:05 pm
dianedecoder

I see "little miss Muffet"....I haven't checked to see the icon theme.
11:05 pm
jillibus

Oh sure I knew some of them.
11:06 pm
jillibus

The icon theme was Nursery Rhymes. Too bad so few participate. The next theme is Fictional Detectives. Just scroll down in my profile for coming themes.
11:07 pm
dianedecoder

I usually always check, but it's been a busy few days.... we just got here Sunday
11:07 pm
Christine

Nice icon, Jillibus; that pictur is in one of my Sunbonnet Sue quilt books.
11:07 pm

11:09 pm
dianedecoder

11:10 pm
Christine

Hello, all - thougt I'd come in to enter the words I found during the day: turns out, I'm reentering what I found at the flip.
11:10 pm
jillibus

I've been to Tucson, but not the other places.
11:11 pm
jillibus

Oh, I gave up on this grid although it was quite fun. Just didn't have time today and won't have much time for the next few either.
11:13 pm
dianedecoder

I don't plan on finishing every grid... but I DO plan on popping in most days :-)
11:13 pm
jillibus

chatting here is half the fun for me.

11:21 pm
jillibus

Diane -- I just googled Fearless and enjoyed the Wikipedia writeup so much! Ah, the memories -- and the bits I never knew!
11:23 pm
dianedecoder

I used to just devour the comics every weekend.... and Li'l Abner was one of my favourites !
11:25 pm
dianedecoder

It was the epitome of "spoof", and much of it passed over my young head. That's also the reason I like to read a book again, many, many years after when I originally read it.
11:25 pm
dianedecoder

-- when...
11:26 pm
jillibus

So do I, Diane
11:29 pm
jillibus

Li'l Abner should be revived.
11:30 pm
jillibus

Time to post my next icon -- a pretty obvious one.
11:31 pm
dianedecoder

remember the little guy with the cloud over his head all the time.... Joe Bfstkk or some funny name like that.... and the Schmoos .... loved the schmoos !!
11:32 pm
dianedecoder

I grabbed an image of Fearless, but I'll post a different detective... :-)
11:37 pm
jillibus

Hmmm -- I wonder who!
11:37 pm
jillibus

I still think of Joe Bflstkk or whatever when things goe wrong.
11:38 pm
dianedecoder

11:38 pm
dianedecoder

wait and see... posting another favourite !!
11:40 pm

Tease....!

dianedecoder

11:41 pm
jillibus

Isn't that a gorgeous name?
11:42 pm
dianedecoder

Yours are always informative, and I always learn something from them! I almost posted Miss Marple!!
11:43 pm
jillibus

Benedict Cumberbatch rolls off the tongue like the Sunderland Bomber in WW2.

Diane, have you read Bill Bryson's "The Mother tongue: English and how it got that way"?
11:46 pm
dianedecoder

I have never read the whole thing, but have read excerpts from it.... I should see if I can get it on my new KOBO E -reader
11:47 pm
jillibus

I loved every word of it -- son gave it to me for Christmas.
11:47 pm
jillibus

I guess the KOBO is like a Kindle?
11:48 pm
dianedecoder

yes it is .... I still like the "feel" of a book in my hands, but it will be handy to stick in my purse...etc.
11:49 pm
jillibus

oh yes -- very handy (big purse?)
11:49 pm

11:50 pm
jillibus

I'm busy borrowing Rebus books from the library.
11:50 pm
stidmama

not bad, jill, all considered.... still HATE the coursework, just plugging along and asking questions. And being VERY VERY grateful for the specific faculty supervisor this quarter.
11:51 pm
jillibus

Oh, glad to hear you're happy with the advisor, stid. It will all be over pretty soon, though, oui?
11:52 pm
jillibus

*supervisor, sorry
11:52 pm
dianedecoder

Our library just moved into a brand new building with all the bells and whistles, and they DIDN'T make that feature one of them :-( ( To borrow, using the Kobo )
11:52 pm
cosdem

i agree diane.. his older work is much better
11:53 pm
dianedecoder

I just finished reading all the Robert James Waller books.... not deep, easy reading but well written... I like his style
11:53 pm
stidmama

June at the very latest, Jill. I won't go to the "graduation" thing of course, but the 10th of June is the very last day of official "work" for the quarter.
11:53 pm
jillibus

our library is just about to be torn down and replaced with a spiffy new ecologically excellent building. Meanwhile, icky temporary quarters... :-(
11:54 pm
dianedecoder

I still remember the VERY first book I borrowed from our tiny library in my small home town... and having my own library card....
11:54 pm
stidmama

((Jill)) hang in there... when it's done you will be SO happy! And so will I. I promise to come visit you and try out every possible library chair and corner and let you know what the best nooks are!
11:55 pm
jillibus

IT WON'T BE READY FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS, STID!
11:55 pm
jillibus

Oops -- hit the cursed caps lock!
11:55 pm
stidmama

yep. and in about two years I shall have saved enough money to visit again! LOL
11:57 pm
dianedecoder

explain "Rebus" books to me, Jill. I can only think of using pictures to express a phrase.... LOL
11:57 pm
jillibus

I heard a woman on the radio the other say, saying she took a screwdriver and pried off the caps lock key. It's tempting...
11:58 pm
jillibus

Rebus is the policeman featured in Ian Rankin's books set in Edinburgh. It's also been a TV series.
11:58 pm
dianedecoder

aha.... perhaps Inspector Rebus ??
11:58 pm
stidmama
