Do you meant the kind o fhats which will be worn at the wedding?
12:46 am

(Sorry about the typos)
12:46 am

my mistake. For once I thought I could get away with just changing one line in the text. But of course it should have been changed at the top as well. Done now, jilli.
Theme is: Hats for the royal wedding
12:47 am
jillibus
Thanks, sprite!
12:47 am

People are struggling for work in England and I think the costs and excesses of the wedding are a little too much for this world economy.. personally

3:09 am

it's chilly here every night but gets really warm in the afternoon. They predicted rain (much-needed), starting yesterday, and we got about a 10-minute drizzle, didn't even get the dust off.

rubyfoo
does it itch?
3:13 am
Uneaixoise
ruby, ack! LOL
3:13 am
FMitch
it appeared last night and I've just noticed it hasn't gone away.

3:21 am

I miss my mother much more than my dad, although he was terrific, even though she has been gone much longer
3:22 am
rubyfoo
it's OK; that's why we're here for each other
3:22 am
FMitch
Anyhoo - the bluebells are now in flower and the golden garlic will be flowering in the next 10 days or so :)
3:23 am
Uneaixoise
my daughter had a wonderful dream last week -- she was a little girl and was having an early morning cuddle with my mom in her big bed -- she woke up feeling really comforted :-)
3:23 am
rubyfoo
my original 3 purple garlic has seeded itself into about 20! They are beautiful
3:23 am
Uneaixoise
oohh, pretty, ruby!
3:23 am

HAve to smile as I didn't know what the golden garlic plants were when I moved into the house and thought they were late flowering tulips.
3:23 am
rubyfoo
I dreamed I was pregnant the other night, also a very nice dream
3:24 am
Uneaixoise

sometimes I have dreams about my mother, too, but usually mixed with TV actors....
3:25 am
rubyfoo
I loved my dream, FM
3:26 am
rubyfoo
I think the happiest I've ever been was 48 yrs ago when I was.....
3:26 am
FMitch
Fair enough - just never had the desire to have a child.
3:26 am
Uneaixoise
any idea what prompted that dream, ruby?
3:26 am
rubyfoo
I never wanted a second one, but John was a gift!
3:27 am
rubyfoo
no, I think my dreams are a totally random mix but mostly fun
3:27 am
Uneaixoise
then you're very lucky!
3:28 am
Uneaixoise
(about having fun dreams)
3:28 am
rubyfoo
I only remember them if I tell my husband the second I wake up, otherwise I'm just left with the smile, like the Cheshire Cat
3:28 am
FMitch
Do you dream in colour or black and white?
3:28 am
Uneaixoise
colour!!
3:29 am
rubyfoo
I think they're in color, but I'm not sure. Frequently I know I'm not in them, just watching, like a movie
3:29 am
Uneaixoise
i have a friend who dreams in colour AND with background music! LOL
3:29 am
rubyfoo
music? wow!
3:29 am
FMitch
Intersting, me too but apaprenmtly some people only dream in black and white.
3:29 am
Uneaixoise

3:29 am

sometimes there are jokes in the dreams and I laugh in my sleep (so I've been told)
3:29 am

3:34 am
FMitch
I've had really strange deams but have been able to pin point it to eating cheese - one of those getting older things :( So don't eat cheese after luunch time now *le sigh*
3:34 am

3:34 am
rubyfoo
do you remember your dreams?
3:34 am
FMitch
Glad you chirped up gran and welcome to the chat.
3:35 am
FMitch
Yes i do ruby and sometimes they stay with me for ages which is not nice.
3:35 am
rubyfoo
do you wake up on your own or with an alarm?
3:36 am
rubyfoo
I think it makes a difference
3:36 am
FMitch
on my own - very rarely use the alarm these days.
3:37 am
granadan
Ibet everyone has one bad dream they have never quite forgotten. They can seem more real than reality. My main reason for not having a fifth baby is I dream so vividly when Im expecting!
3:37 am
FMitch
overslept this morning which was a pain as I had work to do (I work weekends).
3:37 am
rubyfoo
that is really interesting, gran
3:38 am
rubyfoo
I used to have typical anxiety dreams when I worked: missing planes, showing up for school without lesson plans, stuff like that. But retired, happy dreams
3:39 am
FMitch
Just remembeing how the sound of a snoring person sleeping next to you can act as an alarm clock! Miss B but don't miss the snoring.
3:39 am
rubyfoo
when "my"B decides I've slept enough, he starts slamming doors downstairs
3:40 am
FMitch
lol -B used to bring me a mug of tea if he thought I had slept enough.
3:40 am
rubyfoo
it is so cold in the bedroom, that I sleep under an old fur coat (as well as the various blankets)
3:41 am
rubyfoo
but I like when the air is cold

3:50 am
rubyfoo
yesterday I mde little dresses for the strawberry plants (crazy lady?) because last year the slugs ate all of the berries
3:50 am

Hmm. It will either kill him or cure him.
3:50 am

3:51 am

3:54 am
Glantarell

3:54 am
Glantarell
i'm doing OK Ruby - had a lovely 5 days away and slept very well
3:55 am
rubyfoo
while you're at it, would you please change mine? I have tried following all the instructions and can't make it happen.
3:55 am
rubyfoo
that's what you needed, a change of scene and away from Mr. Nasty
3:55 am
Glantarell

3:55 am
rubyfoo
I hope he crought Easter flowers and candy!
3:56 am
Glantarell
um, no!
3:56 am
rubyfoo
I can imagine!
3:56 am
rubyfoo
just wishful thinking, on your behalf!
3:56 am
Glantarell
I'm just hoping he might clear up the mess he left in the kitchen...
3:57 am
rubyfoo
what a sh**!
4:24 am
Kazzer99
back again on my other computer - washing machine is being contrary and stopped mid wash = had to extract half the contents and flip the cut out swtich - keep forgetting its hates too heavy a load
4:25 am
Glantarell
Hi Kaz
4:25 am
Glantarell
Just put my washing on too - such a lovely day for drying
4:25 am
Kazzer99
hi glan - hows the house sale?
4:26 am
Glantarell
only the one viewing so far
4:26 am
Glantarell
probably have to reduce the price
4:26 am
Glantarell
must ask the agent if there is interest before i do that!
4:26 am
Kazzer99
whats the market like where you are?
4:27 am
Glantarell
it is weird - houses here usually sell very quickly or take forever - we are 20 miles form anywhere else
4:27 am
Glantarell
but there are a few sold signs at the moment so things must have started moving
4:28 am
Kazzer99
thats good and if the house is in quite good decorative order it shouldnt hang around too long
4:29 am
Glantarell
it is in good shape now - and hideous has almost finished the bathroom
4:29 am
Kazzer99
thats good - folks like a nice bathroom. We had a vile avocado one in the house we moved from but with the right shade of wall paint it looked okay
4:31 am
Glantarell
need cupboard doors putting back on, a bit of cleaning of plaster splashes and door putting back on and it will be done
4:32 am
Kazzer99
well good luck
4:36 am

Distracted by hot men on tv
4:38 am
rubyfoo
he is, as usual, beside himself and wringing his hangs
4:38 am
rubyfoo
I can vaguely remember that, herin, lol
4:39 am
Kazzer99
ooh - hot men thats sounds good for a sunday morning and i wish that pup was mine but he is my dream so i will keep the pic for a while
4:39 am
rubyfoo
I tend to think"hot" men on TV are usually gay, e.g. Hugh Jackman!
4:39 am
Glantarell
i saw the saying 'if it has tyres or testicles, it's trouble' and have decided that's my new motto LOL
4:39 am
herinfernallady
Watching Americas next top model. Old serious. But hey not complaining if men are topless
4:40 am
rubyfoo
he has a horrible commercial in which he says "We could dance if you want to"
4:40 am
rubyfoo
I don't mind tyres, glanta!
4:40 am
Glantarell
my tyres were pretty expensive last time i bought them!
4:41 am
Kazzer99
which one - we have just finished 14 i think and i quite like it. The oz version is much feister and funnier - our version is a bit wimpy - but i do love the makeover episode where they cry aboout having their hair chopped
4:42 am

i love Biggest Loser being overwieght myself - i would love the chance to be on it
4:45 am
herinfernallady
This is the second time around here. I find BIggest loser not great as it is not realistic. Turns out that in the states there has been a competitor or two that has put the weight back on
4:46 am
Kazzer99
yeah - i ws reading about the early series of it and they seem to have cleaned their act up. One of the trainers withdrew on the Uk one after they gave some contestants ill advice
4:47 am
herinfernallady
It is sad
4:47 am
Glantarell
anybody got the to7? I'm stumped other than it comes from the bottom T
4:48 am
Glantarell

4:49 am

Kazz reading the stats is so sad and disgraceful that all the show wants is money and sponsers
4:50 am
Kazzer99
i know herin - but i still like the spectacle - easy to please me! Glan give us a clue please

ivesy3
autism walk next sat.. weather...sunny and high in 60 ! yeaaaa
6:09 am
mrpresident
ivesy, we will be on any autism walk... they just changed the laws in australia to allow for carers of autistic children to get up to $30,000 a year in assistance from the government. We are so so happy about that
6:11 am
ivesy3
thats great! my sister gets assistance from our county for jays drs and such.. so far we have over 220 people. and donations around $4200. they are building a sensory playground at the school. this is the first walk in our immediate area.
6:11 am
dizgrannie
mrp could you puleeze post a sight for the autism walk....and revelent information...thanx heaps
6:13 am
mrpresident
our autism days are different to the USA, so when we have our next awareness day, I will let you know for sure diz!
6:13 am
ivesy3
a little story .. thats relates to why be need to have autism awareness. my nephew was having a meltdown in the store.. a lady told him he should be ashamed of himself.. and his mother must be disappointed in him.. mind you , he is 6!
6:16 am
mrpresident
it is so difficult to deal with people without a clue... and also a lot of stuff is coming up... for example: Autism is a highly heritable disorder, which is strongly influenced by genes. But it is not a genetic condition in the same way as Huntington's disease or cystic fibrosis, in which mutated DNA is the one and only cause. It is influenced by environmental factors, but what they are we do not yet know.
6:18 am
ivesy3
my sister has been changing his diet, etc. this past month he was student of the month at his school. shows you what they are capable.
6:18 am
mrpresident
ivesy, I would have strangled that woman!!
6:18 am
ivesy3
me too mrp... !
6:19 am
mrpresident
I have had friends of mine tell me to 'tame my child' and that my child was a huge problem. OK, he has a syndrome, but if she would educate herself and her family, they would have a much better time with him.
6:20 am
mrpresident
it is like telling a blind person to 'open your eyes and just look at it!'
6:21 am
ivesy3
thats rite.. my sister hears the same thing. our little guy went from not wanting to be touched to a very lovable little boy, now grabs my hand , kisses me, hugs me.. and they can be a joy if people would just not judge
6:22 am
mrpresident
that is great news ivesy! That means he trusts and loves you unconditionally and knows you would 'have his back' at any time
6:25 am
dizgrannie
ivesy. that is fantastic for the youg fella to come that far
6:27 am
mrpresident
I luv my son's autism! it makes him the extraordinary person that he is and gives him a deeper calling in life.
6:31 am
rubyfoo
I am vewry interested in autism. emple Grandin is my heroine!!!! My inbred chow chow Max is autistic and because of TG's books, I put him on Prozac and he went from bneing remote and unable to make eye contact or be willing to be touched to being a loving member of the family
6:31 am
rubyfoo
There is so much to be learned
6:31 am
rubyfoo
Temple Grandin!
6:32 am
rubyfoo
And have you read about the new measles epidemic in Europe, all cause by the one article in one scientific magazine that related measles vaccine to its incidence. It was later retracted, but the epidemic of measles persists
6:36 am
ivesy3
we are a bit concerned about the walk, he doesnt do well with so many people. it will be interesting to see how others cope with their autistic children.
6:37 am
rubyfoo
I think that crowds and noises must be a big problem for autistic children
6:37 am
ivesy3
i dont consider him having a "problem". he is who he is , my nephew
6:38 am
rubyfoo
does he like music in earphones to block out outside noise
6:38 am
rubyfoo
from what I read, extraneous noise upsets them
6:38 am
ivesy3
very much so ruby. thats why meltdowns occur in stores.. too much distraction. .thats a good idea ruby. will mention to my sister
6:39 am
rubyfoo
with earbuds and his favorite, soft music, it might help the crowd situation
6:40 am
rubyfoo
you might suggest reading Temple Grandin's books to yur sister, she is a wonderful guide to the syndrome as she, herself, is a very highly functioning autistic
6:41 am
ivesy3
will do that.. she is always looking for books on the subject.. bbs.. going to check that out
6:41 am
rubyfoo
bye for now
7:04 am

hey crossy, my son's looking at asking for an e-reader for his birthday and he originally said he wanted a Kindle but I told him to look at all his options. I know you are knowledgeable about e-readers, what's your adivce?
8:53 am
doxy1lover
I have a Nook, and love it.
8:53 am
crosshair
my advice at this time is to choose a sony or a barnes and noble nook reader
8:53 am
crosshair
the new nook is incredible!
8:53 am
LuvWordGames
what are the advantages over the Kindle?
8:53 am
crosshair
full colour touch screen
8:53 am
herinfernallady
Isn't Barnes and Noble in recivership
8:53 am
LuvWordGames
I think that's Borders, herin
8:54 am
LuvWordGames
how do the prices of the e-books compare between the two?
8:54 am
crosshair
does not matter herin,since the machine takes all file types..b+n could vanish tomorrow and it would not matter
8:54 am
crosshair
they are similar 175-275 ish
8:55 am
LuvWordGames
no, the books themselves, I think Kindles are around $9.99 per book, what about the nook?
8:55 am
crosshair
and the key thing is these two can take epub files
8:55 am
crosshair
oh i get my books free on the net
8:55 am
LuvWordGames
I thought the nook accepted more formats than Kindle
8:55 am
LuvWordGames
how do you do that?
8:55 am
doxy1lover
Nook has books for free, up to $12-15
8:55 am

8:58 am
Poirot
yes, there are text books .. but if textbooks are what you want, you should consider the larger kindle.
8:58 am
crosshair
toronto u for example is making its text books availbe in epub over the next year
8:58 am
LuvWordGames
well I guess he needs to do much more research befofre he decides which kind to get but I think the nook already sounds much better than the kindle
8:58 am
Poirot
but not free
8:59 am
mrpresident
I have some crap to tell you all
8:59 am
crosshair
be warned everyone..kindles are fine but proprietary and on epub!
8:59 am
LuvWordGames
why the larger kindle, Poroit?
8:59 am
Poirot
Depends who you talk to Luv ... I love my Kindle.
8:59 am
Poirot
Easier to read a text book on the larger page.

When I was walking in the park yesterday, collecting acorn caps for craft projects, I realized that I was talking aloud. I quickly looked around and was relieved that only the birds could hear me.
9:43 am

I always think of acorn caps as elf hats.
9:45 am

I have some large ones--diameter of a quarter. When I saw them a few days ag, as I walked under a row of oak trees, I realized that I should collect them for something.

talking to yourself is fine,answeing yourself is fine,but when you start doing what the voices tell you to do,you best be carefull
9:46 am

"Now, Scrabbler, let's rake the front yard then work on the back yard later." So I can ignore those orders?

and now for crossys daily bit of useless information...
11:15 am
crosshair
On Feb. 18, 1855, French-Canadian cattle dealer Louis Remme deposited $12,500 in gold in the Sacramento branch of the Adams & Company bank. Shortly afterward he received word that Page, Bacon & Company of St. Louis, the largest financial company west of the Alleghenies, had failed. He returned to the bank but it had already liquidated, depleted by desperate depositors.
So Remme jumped on a horse and rode 665 miles north in 143 hours, including 10 hours of sleep and brief stops for food. He arrived in Portland, Ore., on Feb. 26, went straight to the Adams & Company bank, presented his certificate of deposit, and withdrew the $12,500. He had beaten the steamer that carried news of the bank’s failure — and Portland had no telegraph.
11:16 am

very interesting, crossy!
11:16 am

i have been doing this daily for a while always good to learn a new tid-bit

That is interesting...we stand no chance today sadly
11:17 am
Pinikula
I'm impressed that he made it!
11:18 am
crosshair
nope keep in mind that the average man earned 25 cents a day at that time
11:18 am
crosshair
so he had incentive to get his $12,500 back lol
11:18 am

no kidding!

i collect coins and have many examples from 1858 thru the turn of the century and love the feeling of history about it.holding the coins and wondering about all the men and women of the past who have spent this and how mych work was done to earn it
11:21 am
Pinikula
I do that with the coins I brought back from Europe (before the Euro)
11:22 am
crosshair
i have a 1915 newfoundland 50 cent piece from before they joined the confederation and still made their own money and i think this coun was minted during the potato famine and was the wages of a man for an entire day
11:23 am
Pinikula
rather stunning when you think people back then only earned one coin or less per day for their work

no they are not..i would say the horse would of been more dead than alive at the end
12:03 pm
jesdraggon
he has to have switched horses several times, cross, or the horse would have been all the way dead.
12:03 pm
crosshair
the pony express used to have horse switching stations at regular intervals
12:05 pm
jesdraggon
modern endurance races usually run 50-150 miles.
12:05 pm
jesdraggon
and they don't "run" them at a run...
12:12 pm

of course not,win the race but cripple the horse is no longer fasionable..and would be expensive to boot

see the movie hildalgo? good flick all bout that very thing

poor son. my mom is just gonna go watch it without me. i gave up on the movies several episodes ago... there's just no way to get the whole book into them.
12:38 pm
crosshair
i am half way through reading the searies for the first time and have seen all the movies but these last 2 and think they did a reasonable job on it
12:40 pm
jesdraggon
best they could, and the movies were very pretty, but there was a lot of cutting. i tend to not like movies made from books much anyway--back to the nitpicky thing from earlier.
12:40 pm
jesdraggon
so if i'm gonna do book/movie combo, i try to watch the movie first, then read the book.
12:43 pm
crosshair
interesting..i will not watch a movie unless i have read the book first as the movie will spoil the superior book for me by giving me thier take on the looks of the characters instead of my minds eye creating them first
12:44 pm
jesdraggon
but the movies miss so much of the book, in general, that there is still a ton to discover in the book even after seeing the movie.
12:44 pm
crosshair
this happen to me with harry potter..i ended up starting the series with the directors thoughts on what the character look like
12:44 pm
SeaSpray
I agree Crossy
12:45 pm
jesdraggon
i just get cranky at the movie for not making them match what i imagined :)
12:45 pm
MollyL
I think the most amazing book to made for TV movie was Stephen King's "The Stand" every single actor cast was perfect...except Molly Ringwold.
12:46 pm
jesdraggon
i never watched the tv series, molly
12:46 pm
crosshair
i have not seen the movie,but the unabridged book(with over 140 pages extra dealing with the trashcan man ) was excellent
12:47 pm
jesdraggon
i don't seem to have as much issue going from movie to book; if what i read disagrees with what the movie had, i just go with how it seems in my head while i read. the movie doesn't usually interfere
12:47 pm
jesdraggon
it's extremely rare that i like the movie more than the book anyway.
12:48 pm
crosshair
that what i mean jes,i prefer the books much more and do not want anyones notion on how everone looks like stuck in my head..but thats me;))
12:48 pm
MollyL
Bill Fagerbakke was born to play Tom Cullen. Ruby Dee was born to play Mother Abigail and Matt Frewer was born to play the trashcan man.
12:49 pm
crosshair
i may have to look the movie up
12:50 pm
crosshair
misery turned into a good movie also
12:52 pm
jesdraggon
the only movie i can think of off hand that i liked significantly more than the book was swiss family robinson
12:52 pm
crosshair
i looked up the book form of forrest gump..nasty book!
12:53 pm
jesdraggon
never read it, or watched the movie
12:53 pm
crosshair
the movie is well done
12:54 pm

"To Kill A Mockingbird" comes to mind.....
12:54 pm
crosshair
tom hanks had a string of good one during that period..forest gump,philladelphia and that one where he gets marroned
12:54 pm
crosshair
marooned
12:55 pm

Pinikula
I've seen Pappilion, not read the book tho...
1:00 pm
MollyL
Misery did turn into a good movie. I still can't believe Angelica Houston was originally offered the part of Annie Wilkes.
1:00 pm
Pinikula
Kathy Bates did the better job, Molly....
1:00 pm
crosshair
book rocks pini!
1:00 pm
Pinikula
wouldn't have been 'misery' if houston had played annie
1:01 pm
MollyL
I also agree about "To Kill A Mockingbird". That is a classic movie.
1:01 pm
MollyL
Angelica Houston can play "creepy" but not the kind of creepy that Annie Wilkes needed. Kathy Bates was more fit for the role.
1:03 pm
Pinikula
Bates "looks" normal with a side of evil; Houston is the reverse...
1:03 pm
MollyL
Well put Pini.

1:11 pm

i just came from church
1:11 pm

there is a movie called (here) the Recidivist with a young Kathy Bates, very strange
1:11 pm
rubyfoo
but unhappy Mets :(
1:11 pm
jesdraggon
which series, crossy? it was a radio series before it was books. and a tv series before it was movies.
1:12 pm
jesdraggon
and they were ALL a tad strange ;)
1:12 pm
crosshair
lol jes
1:12 pm
young prodigy

1:12 pm
jesdraggon
delightful, but strange :)
1:12 pm
crosshair
i was comparing the book to the bbc tv series
1:13 pm
jesdraggon
i read an interview by douglas adams about the differences between radio/tv/book series
1:13 pm
crosshair
as did i,even that was funny
1:13 pm
jesdraggon
that was a tad strange too... something about the original idea occuring to him as he was lying drunk in a field staring at the stars
1:14 pm
rubyfoo
on French TV, sometimes they show American or British series but not necessarily in sequence! very frustrating
1:14 pm
crosshair
anyways power nap for crossy.bbl...ponk!
1:14 pm
jesdraggon
and then how characters in the book did totally different things, but for the same reasons as they'd had in the radio, and others did exactly the same things they'd done but for totally different reasons...

1:49 pm

roberta, try to find as many words as you can. you can go any direction, but can't use the same tile twice
1:49 pm
Silkpanda
Am I just supposd to make words>
1:50 pm
JenMO16
you look for words in the grid up, down, backwards, forwards, at least 4-letter words, the words can also be around each other
1:50 pm
Pinikula
It's like playing Boggle, Roberta...simply make words by connecting the letters in consecutive order
1:50 pm
LeslieAnn
yep. remember to put them over in the box that says "Add Word:" not here :)
1:50 pm
JenMO16
yes, leslie ann
1:52 pm
JenMO16
you can't use the same letter in the same word
1:52 pm
uusue2
hi again all! back from church, need to spend most of the day grading papers (so guess what I am doing instead...)
1:53 pm
Silkpanda
so, I did, the s. Can I delete the s? or rewrite toga?
1:53 pm
LeslieAnn
you should have that word under "my word list" now, roberta
1:54 pm
LeslieAnn
there are 147 words in this grid, so you have more to find :)
1:54 pm
Pinikula
all words must be at least 4 letters long...you can plural anything, but remember to put words in the "add word" box...not here in the chog
1:55 pm
LeslieAnn
the tile stats mean: how many words you have that start with that letter / how many words start with that letter total. so if your s says 1/10, it means you have one word that starts with s, out of 10 words that start with s total
1:58 pm
MollyL
Poor Sue. Grading papers seems like the never ending chore for you.
1:59 pm

good for us to see her here; means she's not working 'too' hard! :)

4:13 pm
Nef
My grandson is here and napping; for some reason the Easter Bunny didn't come til just now (Sleepy Bunny!). So I guess we will have an Easter Egg hunt after he wakes..
4:13 pm

4:14 pm
MollyL
Nef, he saved the best for last. : P

My newly decorated sitting room has been feng shui'ed within an inch of its life... and I have to say it is very calming and serene.......
4:22 pm
uusue2
ooh, you should take a picture, soodle!
4:24 pm
Soodle
I actually have some 'before & after' pics, Sue. (I had to, for the insurance company). I will see if one of the offspring can put them on FB.
4:24 pm
uusue2
that would be neat :-)
4:25 pm
Nef
HI and bye, jilli. (I was distracted by DH's Aunt for a bit). I love being a Gramma. Poor little guys' Mom has several mental problems and decided to spend the day alone. She always decides to sit out Holidays and then says we hate her
4:25 pm
uusue2
oh, dear, nef, situations like that are always so hard :-(
4:26 pm
Soodle
Oh heck, Nef. Thats tough.
4:27 pm

Well, when I say feng shui'ed, I actually mean clean and fresh.....
4:34 pm
uusue2

4:38 pm
Soodle
The Masai Warrior shields and spears which we got in Kenya some years ago, and which adorned the walls have now been binned, so a sitting room with no warrior stuff has to be better.......
4:39 pm
uusue2
you got rid of them? bummer, although I do understand the calming effect of not having weapons on display ..
4:40 pm
Soodle
Nope, Sue, my daughter, who obviously has Squirrel DNA retrieved them all from the dumpster, and has them all under her bed. She couldn't bear the thought of them being thrown out. Sheesh!
4:41 pm
uusue2
ah. A girl after my own heart :-)

crossy used to have ww2 bayonettes and defused german hand grenades on display at one time.place those babies next to some nice house plants and the juxaposition of life and carnage made for interesting party chit chat

Well Soodle, when you win the lottery and expand, you may want to have a "warrior room".
4:42 pm

amazing how many wives troed to pull the grenade pins and toss them down their husbands pants....
4:42 pm
Soodle
But the feng shui, Crossy, the feng shui.........
4:43 pm
Soodle
Nope, Moll. When I win the lottery I will buy the offspring their own houses, where they can hoard all the junk they want to!
4:43 pm

Good plan Soodle.

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon, we will mend.
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call:
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

9:12 pm
uusue2
dunno, jmc, the internet in my house has been wonky recently
9:13 pm
young prodigy
how old are you sue
9:13 pm
uusue2
my son thinks we need a new router, he needs to reboot it every time he hooks his Xbox up to Netflix
9:13 pm
uusue2
hi, young, you can click on my profile - I am 59 :-)
9:14 pm
uusue2
and I teach physics at a university
9:14 pm
uusue2
and congratulations on finishing the puzzle, young!
9:15 pm
uusue2
(I remember now why I came back to the computer - need to check tomorrow's schedule, somehow my phone is not getting online properly)
9:15 pm
jmcnrick
a new router makes sense
9:16 pm
jmcnrick
how old is the one you have
9:16 pm
uusue2
oh dear, jmc, it is certainly not new. Probably of the order of 10 years or so.
9:16 pm
jmcnrick
lol then it is time!
9:17 pm
uusue2
I suppose so :-)
9:17 pm
uusue2
it is possible that it belongs to Comcast - the modem certainly does - but I don't think there's any reason we can't replace it ourselves
9:18 pm
jmcnrick
maybe you should ask them--they tout their service
9:19 pm
uusue2
true. I have been pretty happy with them.
9:20 pm
Nef
A new router can cost as little as $40-50, and you can do it yourself. Even *I* can do that, uusue
9:21 pm
uusue2
lol, nef, I won't have any trouble installing it. Just hate spending money if I don't have to (but I suppose at some point I will have to...)
9:21 pm
jmcnrick
blech it was a beautiful spring day and i came home from meeting and feel asleep for 3 hours
9:21 pm
jmcnrick
you could upgrade to wifi uu
9:21 pm
uusue2
oh well. there will be more nice days, jmc, and you must have needed the sleep.
9:22 pm
Nef
I have Comcast for the internet and phone; but the squirrels kept chewing through the TV cables, so we have Direct TV for that. Comcast service wasn't so great with the squirrel problems
9:22 pm
jmcnrick
yeah but now i am all groggy even though i have been up for several hours
9:22 pm
uusue2
it is a wifi modem, jmc, but the wireless part of it is a little feeble so I have my computer (and SO's) hardwired in. Son's computer and both our smartphones use the wireless.
9:23 pm
jmcnrick
how is direct tv? I would give my eyeteeth to get rid of comcast
9:23 pm
jmcnrick
then you really should break down if it is that weak uu
9:23 pm
uusue2
I have comcast for all three, nef, but the squirrels confine themselves to my lawn furniture and fruit trees for the most part.
9:24 pm
uusue2
yeah, I know. It mattered less when we had fewer devices connected to it (and I forgot to count the kid's Xbox, so that's six devices)
9:25 pm
jmcnrick
i have comcast for tv because i have no choice but i use something else that i can't remember with my foggy brain for phone and internet
9:25 pm
jmcnrick
clear that is who
9:25 pm
Nef
Direct TV is a lot better picture than Comcast; much less problems with what I call Pixellating
9:25 pm
jmcnrick
i hope it doesn't rain so i can garden in the morning
9:25 pm
jmcnrick
oh i hate the pixellating
9:26 pm
uusue2
ah yes, we have been getting a lot of pixellations lately
9:26 pm
uusue2
but it is so cheap I hate to give it up...
9:26 pm
jmcnrick
my neighbors across the street had direct tv but i am not sure I can i know i cant get any other cable than comcast
9:26 pm
jmcnrick
maybe a new modem will help that too uu
9:27 pm
uusue2
well, direct tv is a satellite so you will need to have a place to put a dish that has an unobstructed view
9:27 pm
jmcnrick
everyone around here puts it in their attic
9:27 pm
uusue2
I had dish network a long time ago and it was fine but didn't have internet or phone with it
9:28 pm
uusue2
attic would work, probably, as long as no metal around
9:28 pm
jmcnrick
like foil on insultation?
9:29 pm
uusue2
if it's not between the satellite and the sky it shouldn't matter
9:29 pm
uusue2
but the installers should be able to tell you
9:29 pm
jmcnrick
well i think i will wait until all my construction on my new kitchen is done
9:31 pm
uusue2
oh that makes sense, jmc
9:33 pm
jmcnrick
i am trying to be logical so i cut down the trees in the back yard to get ready
9:33 pm
jmcnrick
now I am building some shelves to move stuff from the kitchen to temporarily
9:34 pm
jmcnrick
then I am renovating a closet in the gu*** room for me to use while I am booted from my bedroom during the reno
9:35 pm
jmcnrick
and throwing things away all while i am waiting for the permits
9:35 pm
uusue2
good planning, jmc. my house is suffering from an ex who liked to start projects but didn't finish them so I have three rooms that are torn apart but no more money to finish anything
9:36 pm
jmcnrick
well i had an architect friend who tore a hole in the wall of my bedroom 6 years ago to which is still there! lol
9:37 pm
uusue2
ha, I know how that is!
9:37 pm
jmcnrick
i try to do a little at a time so the cost is not too bad -- wait for sales and such
9:38 pm
jmcnrick
my living room pillows are all covered with remnants
9:38 pm
uusue2
indeed; mine is totally on hold at the moment as I am now paying college tuition, though
9:38 pm
jmcnrick
i have to pay for some summer school then I gu*** i will have to pay for my own tuition
9:39 pm
uusue2
ah; I'm paying for my son. My education is over, I think.
9:39 pm
uusue2
Formally, anyway.
9:40 pm
jmcnrick
the summer school is the last of my son's college then he is on his own
9:40 pm
jmcnrick
i keep thinking my education is over (never been good at school) but . . . .
9:40 pm
jmcnrick
then went back to law school
9:41 pm
jmcnrick
then i did an mba (which i didn't finish when the last semester was writing a resume)
9:41 pm
jmcnrick
now I am looking at a masters in conflict transformation
9:43 pm
uusue2
yes i remember you talking about the masters in conflict transformation, sounds really interesting. I considered law school at one point but went into academic administration instead (which ultimately didn't work out so now I am back in the department)
9:44 pm
uusue2
although I could have gone to law school here so it would have been free...
9:47 pm
jmcnrick
i don't recommend law school unless you really really want to be a lawyer
9:48 pm
uusue2
partly why I didn't go :-)
9:56 pm

currently I don't recommend grad school... ((Hugs all))

I resent that!... the angry guy says.. "what are youan attorney?" ..no the guy next to him says blandly .. I'm an asshole..
