2:33 am

good morning, "more than good enough"

2:33 am

Glantarell

2:34 am

rubyfoo

2:34 am

Glantarell

2:34 am

westford

even though it will be night here

2:34 am

westford

oh haven't you heard...Prince William is getting married.

2:34 am

rubyfoo

we have sunshine and flowers but need rain. If it doesn't rain soon, they are going to impose water restrictions

2:34 am

Glantarell

i am fine - been cleaning the house this morning as the lady who looked at it a couple of weeks ago is coming back with her man in tow..

2:35 am

Glantarell

oh, THAT wedding!

2:35 am

westford

2:35 am

westford

are you selling your house glan?

2:35 am

Glantarell

yes i am - it is beautiful but it has to go

2:36 am

westford

that's too bad and getting it ready to show must be a PITA

2:36 am

Glantarell

yes it is! there are still some small DIY jobs outstanding and there are lots of nettles in the garden LOL

2:37 am

Glantarell

but those are the jobs for the weekend

2:37 am

westford

maybe it'll snow and cover them up

2:37 am

Glantarell

don't joke about snow - we've had it in May before now

2:37 am

westford

see?

2:38 am

Glantarell

i am struggling with the ac7/32 - any hints?

2:38 am

westford

weather has been crazy all over

2:38 am

rubyfoo

2:38 am

westford

Haz1558

No problem.

2:41 am

westford

ruby do you have hose pipe bans in France?

2:42 am

rubyfoo

I don't know what those are? We are in a little village and are about to sod the lawn which will all die if we can't water!

2:43 am

westford

I have a friend in Surrey and she said when they have to conserve water the authorities fly over in helicopters and fine people whose lawns are too green

2:44 am

rubyfoo

I'll just say we're using Evian....hahah...after all this is the land of "Let them eat cake!"

2:44 am

westford

we're thinking of sod as well

2:44 am

Glantarell

thankfully we don't get that problem in Wales - we get about 25-30 inches of rain a year here

2:45 am

rubyfoo

are lawn is hopeless, so we're only sodding one small section

2:45 am

rubyfoo

we usually get the right amount but not this year!

2:45 am

westford

we're putting in a double patio this year and have to get the entire yard graded

2:45 am

rubyfoo

a nice surprise is that the tall alliums have reseeded and I have about 20 flowers at the moment

2:45 am

westford

four feet of snow is a little much

2:46 am

rubyfoo

with what are you paving the pation, westford?

2:46 am

Glantarell

i love alliums

2:46 am

westford

how nice !

2:46 am

westford

brick

2:46 am

rubyfoo

but then we never had another inch. The ski resorts were dying

2:46 am

westford

my tulips finally bloomed the day after Easter

2:46 am

rubyfoo

I love brick patios

2:47 am

westford

I can imagine. Do they make snow?

2:47 am

rubyfoo

mine started to bloom in early february and I still have about 10 (in a sheltered spot)

2:47 am

rubyfoo

yes, but then it warmed up every afternoon. It was evidently a mess, but I don't ski any more

2:47 am

westford

everything is late this year

2:47 am

rubyfoo

here it's all early, I even have roses opening

2:48 am

rubyfoo

the peonies started to emerge in early February, but they are just now forming buds, so they'll be fine

2:48 am

westford

they are sooo beautiful

2:49 am

rubyfoo

and the strawberry plants have tripled since last year when I put them in and I've made little "dresses" to prevent the slugs from eating the berries

2:49 am

westford

how do you get them on the slugs?

2:50 am

rubyfoo

no, I put the little plastic dresses under the flowers, to keep the nascient fruit from being in the dirt. I'm not sure it will work, but last year I didn't get one uneaten berry

2:51 am

westford

slugs are my least favorite creatures

2:51 am

rubyfoo

this is all a grand experiment as it's my first garden

2:52 am

Kazzer99

this year was strange for us as well - we had a very cold december and now the plant seem to be galloping into summer - its quite a mix - i have tulips, bluebells peonies and roses out at the moment

2:52 am

westford

will you put up jam?

2:52 am

Glantarell

i used to go and kill slugs for ten minutes every morning and evening in spring and summer

2:52 am

Glantarell

but now i have the wildlife pond, the frogs take care of them for me

2:52 am

westford

what kills them glan

2:52 am

rubyfoo

they are disgusting, but I only mind them when they eat stuff or arrive in large numbers. Then they look like a creeping poop army

2:53 am

westford

and hello Kaz your garden sounds blooming loverly

2:53 am

Kazzer99

we used slug pellets on the allotment but i wont in the garden because of the birds

2:53 am

Glantarell

my peonies aren't out but my primroses and hellebores are and some clematis is just about to flower

2:53 am

Kazzer99

my garden is a jungle.

2:53 am

rubyfoo

yes, I always make currant and blackberry jelly, plum jam from the little yellow ones (mirabelles) and eat the figs when they survive the spring.

2:53 am

Glantarell

a very sharp knife kills slugs very effectively - i don't use chemicals in my gardn

2:54 am

westford

we have so many squirrels we never know where our flowers will come up next

2:54 am

Kazzer99

oops we dont do grass and only cut it when the neighbours start to give us hard stares as they walk past

2:54 am

rubyfoo

hello kazzer! If I don't remove some weeds every day, they will take over, first the garden, then probably the whole house

2:54 am

Glantarell

any help with the ca6s?

2:54 am

rubyfoo

we don't use any pesticides either, because of the dogs

2:54 am

Kazzer99

we might be attacking it today

2:54 am

Kazzer99

i ca 6 is noise crows make

2:54 am

Haz1558

ca6 - combines a feline with a charged particle.

2:54 am

westford

I have a holiday minus the first two letters

2:55 am

Haz1558

ca6/39 - the sound of blackbirds

2:55 am

rubyfoo

my husband insists on having a lawn; I would be content with creeping thyme and other plants that don't have to be cut. But when it gets too long, ticks arrive

2:55 am

Glantarell

TY all - i even had the bird call but not with the suffix

2:55 am

westford

I have a picture of Kaz crawling through the garden with a knife in her teeth

2:55 am

rubyfoo

ty haz

2:56 am

rubyfoo

and a salt shaker in her hand

2:56 am

Kazzer99

that is a cruel way to kil slugs - they explode and its messy

2:56 am

westford

are dishes of beer good too?

2:57 am

rubyfoo

I don't kill them, just wish them away

2:57 am

Glantarell

beer is good

2:57 am

westford

exploding slugs oh

2:57 am

Glantarell

but then you have to throw away the resulting mess

2:57 am

Kazzer99

you might not be far off West - beer is good and the birds like the dead slugs as well

2:57 am

rubyfoo

we also have a lot of snails and lizards, but I don't mind sharing with the snails (which are very pretty) and I think the lizards eat insects

2:57 am

Glantarell

knives are better - their friends come to eat the bodies and you can kill them too LOL

2:57 am

rubyfoo

I would have to drink the beer to knife the slugs eeewwww

2:58 am

Glantarell

snails are a pain because they eat my hostas so i still hunt them daily

2:58 am

rubyfoo

that is interesting about the birds eating slugs. We have a huge bird population because husband feeds them twice a day

2:59 am

westford

I wanted a vegetable garden this year but now I'm not so sure

2:59 am

Kazzer99

yep snails is as bad as slugs - but there are some slugs that eat other slugs - they are big yellow ones

2:59 am

rubyfoo

they eat my hostas and tulip leaves

2:59 am

Glantarell

i have a vegetable garden

2:59 am

rubyfoo

thanks for sharing that kazzer! here they are about 4" long and brown

2:59 am

Glantarell

cauliflowers, broccoli, cabbages, broad beans, spinach, lettuce and chard and mangetout are all coming long nicely

2:59 am

westford

are the nettles uninvited?

3:00 am

Glantarell

the nettles keep re-appearig but thye are a sign of good soil

3:00 am

westford

oh glan that sounds wonderful

3:00 am

rubyfoo

I think people eat nettles, but I can't imagine how they pick them

3:00 am

Kazzer99

I am only growing spuds this year in a couple of those special bags this year - too much to do elsewhere this year

3:00 am

Glantarell

and you can make a lovely soup form the young leaves at this time of year but you need rubber gloves to pick them LOL

3:00 am

Kazzer99

nettles are good - you need to keep some for the butterflies

3:00 am

rubyfoo

ah, husband is back with groceries. See you later

3:00 am

Glantarell

i also make nettle tea - just a few leaves in boiling wtaer

3:01 am

Kazzer99

nettles are full of iron

3:01 am

Kazzer99

cya ruby

3:01 am

westford

bye ruby nice to see you again

3:01 am

Glantarell

oh well, 37 left but i must go and earn some money to pay the bills, may see you tonight

3:01 am

westford

I don't think we have them here

3:01 am

Kazzer99

they have a nettle eating competition near us - they have to eat as many 2 foot lenghts of nettles as they can

3:01 am

westford

bye glan good luck with your house

3:02 am

westford

with thorns??

3:02 am

Glantarell

ty west, bye!

3:03 am

Kazzer99

no nettles dont have thons - they have little hairs that irritate you but apparantly there is a techique for eating them.

3:03 am

westford

I hope never to acquire that lol

3:04 am

Kazzer99

neither do I!!

3:04 am

westford

are they mostly men?

3:05 am

Kazzer99

yes but there are some ladies

3:05 am

Kazzer99

they report it sometimes on the local news and it makes your mouth black

3:06 am

westford

what does the tea taste like ?

3:06 am

westford

does it have a licorice flavor?

3:07 am

Kazzer99

i am not allowed to drink it because of some of the side effects and ingredients. It interferes with my medication

3:07 am

westford

oh it must have been glan

3:10 am

Kazzer99

whee - i got an 8

3:10 am

westford

wtg kaz you'll soon get another

3:11 am

Kazzer99

3:12 am

westford

3:12 am

Haz1558

ca4 - how the zoo animals might feel

3:12 am

Kazzer99

Kazzer99

4:14 am

cool.girl

hi everyone could i have some clues 4 the 8s please

4:16 am

Haz1558

re8/70 - when one set of stitches isn't enough.

4:16 am

Haz1558

re8/70 when one distribution of seeds isn't enough.

4:16 am

sprite

good morning all

4:17 am

cool.girl

ty

4:17 am

Haz1558

sh8 - behaving in unacceptable Shakespeare wife fashion?

4:17 am

Haz1558

Hello, sprite.

4:18 am

Kazzer99

good clues for the 8s haz

4:18 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Kazzer.

4:19 am

Kazzer99

swingy

4:19 am

Kazzer99

oops sorry keep forgetting where i am off to the pb in search of jammy donuts

4:19 am

sprite

I would have expected shecat to work

4:20 am

Haz1558

Your hands will get too sticky.

4:20 am

cool.girl

ty what about the second re8 please

4:21 am

sprite

I think Haz clued them all

4:21 am

Haz1558

cool. same as the first save for one vowel - think farmer and distribution of seeds.

4:22 am

cool.girl

thanks haz

4:22 am

cool.girl

sorry and sprite

4:22 am

sprite

the construction workers at my neighbours' are breaking through the outer wall today. I had planned to be away, but am ill. You wouldn't believe the noise!

4:22 am

Haz1558

No amount of ear plugging will do any good because you'll have the vibration as well.

4:24 am

sprite

totally true. The only thing that I am enjoying so far is the complete lack of fear or worry from Terra. He just looked at me twice, didn't register any reaction from me and relaxed back, not giving it any more attention.

4:24 am

Haz1558

Your house will survive although it probably seems it's going to fall down, your nerves are a different matter.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Good for Terra! Now, if only you could channel some of that calm, you'd be set up. If you could bottle it, you'd be rich.

4:25 am

sprite

yeah, bad day for nerves. But as the man said, this too shall pass. And nothing like babble and Babblers to take my mind of things :)

4:26 am

Haz1558

It's a nice grid, though not particularly big.

4:26 am

Kazzer99

i am enjoying it today - just 2 left now

4:26 am

sprite

must have reached this size just because of the gerund ending. It is rather tight in some places.

4:27 am

Haz1558

Yes, the ending is well represented.

4:27 am

sprite

go Kazzer goooo

4:28 am

sprite

my real name is in the grid. Cass (from Cassandra)

4:29 am

Haz1558

So it is.

4:31 am

Kazzer99

thats it - fireworks for me got to go on postie watch - expecting an exciing delivery - hub bought me a camera - 30 x optical zoom

4:32 am

sprite

wtg Kazz and have a lot of fun with the new toy. I hope it arrives soon!

4:32 am

Haz1558

All I understand is 'camera' and 'exciting' - hope it comes and that you enjoy it!

4:32 am

Kazzer99

i will let you know - will prob post some examples on flickr

4:33 am

sprite

oh please do. I am not much of a photographer myself but I enjoy good pictures.

4:34 am

Kazzer99

well he one i currently have has a 10x optical zoom. this will mean that i should be able to get good photos of little birds that currently look like dots in the photo

4:34 am

Kazzer99

see you later

4:34 am

sprite

love the way your profile text looks now, Haz. And the contents are just great.

4:34 am

Haz1558

Bye, Kazzer, see you later.

4:35 am

Haz1558

I retyped it, sprite and am happy to get rid of the symbols.

4:36 am

sprite

much easier to read now. I promise to never say never mind again!

4:36 am

Haz1558

I'm hoping people realise the 'never mind' is just in jest. It can be frustrating if you've just typed a clue!

4:37 am

sprite

as long as they remember to read it with tongue-in-cheek, they should be fi4. I love the text and you know how touchy I can be.

4:38 am

Haz1558

It's meant in lighthearted fashion, definitely.

4:38 am

Andree

hi everyone

4:38 am

sprite

hi Andree :D

4:38 am

Haz1558

Hello, Andree.

4:41 am

Andree

I hope you all had a nice easter break

4:41 am

sprite

I love the part about saying please when asking for a clue. I sort of shut down when I see a post just blurting: "fi4 ?????????"

4:42 am

Haz1558

Yes - we've had really good weather here and husband was off for a few days so we're all relaxed.

4:42 am

sprite

mwah yes, easter was ok. Ish. The break part would be the nervous breakdown from the noise from the neighbours now, grin.

4:43 am

Andree

as i am the one renovating its my neighbours who have to listen to the awful noises

4:44 am

Haz1558

Think of the poor builders as well. How do they put up with the noise all the time?

4:45 am

sprite

if they don't have ptsd or similar, they should be ok, though it is hard on anyone's nerves. Also on the people in the house that is renovated!

But I can proudly say I am handling it reasonably well. So far I haven't lost myself in a panic attack, I just get immensely tired.

4:45 am

sprite

hah! Silly Haz. They cope by being louder than the noise they make!

4:46 am

Andree

mine wear ear muffs

4:46 am

Haz1558

I just wonder how much noise the ear defenders cut out?

4:48 am

sprite

enough to keep their hearing intact, but no earplugs or whatever else can keep out all the noise. Part of noise is transported through the skull.
Hm, would there be a market for Eskimo Earsavers Hats?

4:50 am

Haz1558

When is the work scheduled to finish, sprite?

4:51 am

sprite

no exact date given, as is to be expected with construction workers. But this is week 3 and they said it would take about 6 weeks in total.

4:51 am

Haz1558

You can usually add on a week or two. Builders in Britain are hopelessly optimistic and I assume they're the same with you.

4:53 am

sprite

oh yes. It always takes longer than they say. The neighbours hope it will be finished before Summer break. I hope so too, but fear it will take up part of the vacation time.

4:53 am

Haz1558

Maybe once all the destructive part is done things will be less intrusive.

4:54 am

Haz1558

Anyway, just realised the time. I must be off. Enjoy the grid and I hope you continue to cope with the noise. Bye for now!

4:55 am

sprite

yes I think so too. Today they are in our garden, that is freaking me out. But once all the outside work is done, it won't be as bad.
The only other really bad day will be when they'll remove the tiles from the floor.

4:55 am

sprite

bye for now, Haz, and have a lovely day.

4:55 am

Andree

bye haz

4:55 am

Haz1558

5:08 am

Trifioso

Nice of me, innit? have not seen you in a dog's age, and right away I start in with the favors....LOL!

5:08 am

Trifioso

5:09 am

Andree

5:09 am

herinfernallady

Well I dropped a Hi to a very old friend and I am needing to formulate a polite you suck to my ex

5:10 am

Trifioso

Andree, it looks like my daughter might be spending part of the school year next year in Perth. due to the incredible distance she would have to fly alone (gulp!) I have someone to see she gets on the right plane in LA, but no one to make sure she makes the transfer in Sydney okay. Would that be something you could see yourself helping with?

5:11 am

Andree

what date trif

5:12 am

Andree

silly question, you probably don't have one

5:14 am

Trifioso

sometime next February, I think

5:14 am

Trifioso

no need to commit to doing it now! just sort of casting a net, as it were

5:15 am

Andree

I just put my email address on my profile

5:17 am

Trifioso

hmmm, I can't see it....let me refresh a couple of times.

5:18 am

Trifioso

nope. still not there.

5:18 am

Trifioso

it's okay....I am sure we will chat again before next february! hope so, anyway!

5:19 am

Andree

try again trif, I had not pressed the update button

5:19 am

Trifioso

there we go! thanks love!

5:20 am

Trifioso

I really hope she does get to go. what an adventure!!!

5:22 am

Andree

I hope she does too, my grandaughter may be doing an exchange in italy next year, these kids get experiences we never dreamed of

5:22 am

Trifioso

how old is your grand?

5:22 am

herinfernallady

I couldn't even join the travelling choir as my parents couldn't afford it

5:23 am

Trifioso

poor herin! but look at you now!!! you really are doing great!

5:23 am

Andree

nearly 16

5:23 am

herinfernallady

Not really my parents always spoiled me

5:24 am

Trifioso

just the same age my girl will be next year! all sorts of enthusiasm at the age, I just love it! except for when she is being a moody, stroppy troll, of course!

5:25 am

Andree

maybe she is related to my grandaughter, lol

5:26 am

Trifioso

LOL! I am so glad I have a year to get used to the idea. the flight from la to sydney will be the most nerve-wracking. WHY did I watch Lost all those times?

5:28 am

Andree

well when the time comes I will be happy to pick her up and see she gets the right flight

5:29 am

Trifioso

you rock! thanks me love

5:30 am

Trifioso

now, in other areas - is oz excited about the royal wedding. or is it not much of a whoop down there?

5:30 am

herinfernallady

Not me

5:30 am

herinfernallady

Couldn't give a crap. I think they shouldn't get married. ALl they are doing is doing it because lord forbid they have the heir and a spare out of wedlock

5:31 am

Trifioso

LOL herin! jaded much?

5:31 am

Trifioso

I think

5:32 am

Trifioso

Kate seems like a nice enough gal, and I must admit, I am curious to see what she chooses out for a dress. she is taking on an AWFUL lot....I was nervous enough on the day. can't imagine doing it in front of the whole world!

5:32 am

herinfernallady

no. I have to be frank and how much the media made a complete whore out of Diane

5:32 am

Andree

i am not too excited about it all but do enjoy all the hype and have set up my iq box to record it

5:32 am

herinfernallady

Errk Di

5:33 am

Trifioso

I will most likely record it as well. All the pomp and ceremony will be quite fun. we have NOTHING like it here, so it's pure escapism on my part

5:33 am

Trifioso

and i wish them well and good luck -- any young couple needs that

5:34 am

Andree

recording it means I can just fast forward the dull bits

5:34 am

Trifioso

I am sure harry was in the BAG at the stag do!

5:36 am

herinfernallady

O totally random my Grandmother Married at Westminster Abby

5:36 am

5:38 am

herinfernallady

Opps Migrated

5:38 am

Trifioso

okay, but why did your family migrate?

5:39 am

herinfernallady

errr.

5:39 am

Trifioso

if I am prying, please to ignore....

5:39 am

herinfernallady

I think the story goes mum and dad liked each other in England. Then Dad come out here and then mum did and then they got together

5:40 am

herinfernallady

As for me I am adopted. My birth father was from a very small town and my birth mum lives on the NSW coast

5:40 am

Trifioso

ahhh, love! the best reason of all!

5:40 am

Trifioso

yes, I knew your were so

5:42 am

herinfernallady

That is what they tell me. Don't know the real story. I did find out the funniest wedding story from them though

5:43 am

Trifioso

oh, do tell, if you can

5:45 am

herinfernallady

There is two stories both a bit blurry. Mum caught the train in her dress because either they only had one car which was totalled or dad rolled it on the day and broke it

5:45 am

herinfernallady

Then they had their photos out side the church to send to Grandma so she wouldn't know that they got married at the Registry

5:45 am

Trifioso

my goodness herin!

5:46 am

Trifioso

LOL about the photos!

5:46 am

herinfernallady

Yep they were crazy kids

5:47 am

Trifioso

on that note, I am going to try to get a titch more sleep before I have to get up. love love love

5:51 am

8:28 am

Riverdance

8:28 am

8:31 am

Pffth. Trump isn't going to run. He's just out to get more publicity for his show.

8:31 am

Anniebrook

Obama, president of harvard law review...doesn't get much better...what an ass that Trump is. Sad that some people will believe him

8:31 am

Mom

Hi Judi

8:31 am

Uneaixoise

well, the really big tornado hit across the river in East Nashville and did major damage -- more than 10 yrs ago

8:32 am

Uneaixoise

and exactly this weekend last year, we had the worst flood in the history of Nashville -- crazy

8:32 am

Judi

I'm not an Obama fan by any means, but Trump should just shut his hole. After all, his hair isn't even from this planet.

8:33 am

Mom

Une, looks like you could get hit again shortly, some nasty storms around Memphis

8:33 am

8:38 am

uusue2

We'd have been harder to fool if you'd called yourself Davy Nike. Of course, with a name like that you'd be too busy spending millions to bother with the likes of us.

11:11 am

crosshair

wars

11:11 am

crosshair

funny stuff

11:12 am

crosshair

and i do not blame him

11:12 am

MollyL

Just my opinion, but if Obama had been forthcoming with his birth certificate, there wouldn't have been any controversy.

11:13 am

crosshair

is it anyone business?

11:13 am

crosshair

or his shoe size?

11:13 am

crosshair

lol

11:13 am

MollyL

It is when being a US citizen is a requirement to run for President.

11:13 am

crosshair

or if he like ketchup with his grilled cheese sammich?

11:14 am

crosshair

i am sure his credentials were checked during the campaign

11:14 am

helsmith

cross, I agee, but now maybe those birthers will find something wrong with this long form also.

11:14 am

poodletoes

when has any other president been required to produce his birth certicate?

11:14 am

crosshair

people just do not walk in off the street and fill out an aplication for that post...i hope

11:15 am

Nef

Personally, I think that his short birth certificate was good enough; that was what Hawaii gave him; this long form isn't SOP. I'm sure that people wouldn't be satisfied with this one either if it was the first one; they'd just find something else to complain about

11:15 am

poodletoes

sure, now the Donald is questioning how he got into Harvard. it will always be something.

11:15 am

crosshair

just too rich..lol

11:16 am

Kenny Chuck

Need clues for sh7.Any help?

11:16 am

poodletoes

you Canadians are much more sensible!

11:17 am

Nef

do you suppose the same fuss would have been raised for McCain (who was born in Panama?

11:17 am

crosshair

who cares if his hawaii certificate is the short or long form..goodness

11:18 am

Erda

If I never see Trump's ugly face and gaping mouth again, I'll be a happy person!

11:19 am

how about everyone spend millions studying the minutae of the Donalds life for a bit instead? lol

11:20 am

Kenny Chuck

sorry,sorry,sorry

11:20 am

Erda

Doubt there will be anything exciting there, crossy.

11:20 am

MollyL

Okay, so much for everyone being entitled to their opinion.

11:20 am

Erda

Or worth repeating...

11:20 am

crosshair

that better be an american weave he wears..we better set up a task force and find out!..hehe

11:21 am

Nef

I'm thinking "the Donald" won't allow his finances to be open to media exposure and all his talk of running for President is just bull

11:21 am

crosshair

tough our prime minister,while he is a Canadian is a ding bat;)

11:21 am

Erda

Yes, Nef!

11:22 am

Erda

There are dingbats everywhere -- look at Italy....

11:22 am

crosshair

oh that guy boinking the 17 year old? yea,caught some of that in the paper

11:23 am

crosshair

my brother is a conspiracy therorist he loves that sort of stuff

11:24 am

Erda

He should have plenty of material to work with...

11:24 am

poodletoes

and yet the people vote them into office time and again. there should be a country for sane people

11:24 am

Nef

I don't get why politics makes people (both men and women) think with their sex drive

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

does he leave your car with an empty tank?

1:43 pm

morning

1:43 pm

uusue2

hi, molly, the kid is breaking out his bicycle again :-) I've thought about a scooter but am trying to spend as little money as possible, since my outgo already exceeds my income even when I try very hard to be very frugal.

1:44 pm

uusue2

And my car is a prius so doesn't use a whole lot of gas anyway. And it didn't kill me to walk to work this morning, just would have preferred more warning.

1:45 pm

uusue2

but thanks for the idea :-) one of the kid's friends has a scooter and it gets about 100 mpg (twice what the prius gets), so that would be kind of cool

redturtlehead

4:51 pm

Nef

44 left for me now. I'm finding lots of fake words... silly words that I've necver heard or seen before

4:52 pm

uusue2

hi again, all!

4:52 pm

Nef

hi sue

4:53 pm

Nef

how's things going for you and your family?

4:53 pm

uusue2

hi, nef! dont' suppose it's any warmer in MN than it is here :-(

4:54 pm

uusue2

up and down, nef, I think the end is nearing for my stepmom. Dad is handling it ok but I know he's frustrated that he can't be there.

4:55 pm

Nef

it's warmer today than yesterday; but at 40 degrees, it isn't warm enough

4:55 pm

Nef

would he go if they asked him to be there? Is there a way to let her family know that?

4:57 pm

uusue2

I don't think they want him there, nef, that's part of the frustration. And I don't know if he'd be able to get there anyway (and right now she is fully sedated so no real point in visiting). I went to see her last weekend and was able to talk to her, so that was good.

4:57 pm

uusue2

and 50 here, also not warm enough :-)

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

4:57 pm

Nef

I'd be happy with 50 degrees today!

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

it is 81 here today and the sky is dark

4:58 pm

Nef

hi jmc!

4:59 pm

uusue2

hi, jmc!

4:59 pm

Nef

oh, just rub it in, jmc! :-P

4:59 pm

uusue2

our sky is pretty dark too, would be easier to take if it was 81 instead of 50 :-)

5:00 pm

jmcnrick

we were/are under tornado watch so there is a down side to this warm weather

5:00 pm

uusue2

yeah, that's us pretty much all summer, jmc

5:01 pm

Nef

true. Isn't this is a bad year for rotten weather?

5:01 pm

jmcnrick

it is better than last year was for us--no blizzards this year

5:01 pm

redturtlehead

I would love to have a few weeks more of 50.

5:01 pm

uusue2

we had one doozy of a blizzard, jmc, but not a lot of snow other than that.

5:02 pm

redturtlehead

and Jmc thanks for your prudent advice yesterday...

5:02 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

5:02 pm

uusue2

well, come on up, red!

5:02 pm

jmcnrick

happy to help out red--did you get it done?

5:02 pm

redturtlehead

I'm going to do it on Friday. I think I will feel better having H and R block do it.

5:03 pm

jmcnrick

waste of money red

5:03 pm

redturtlehead

I know it is, but...It will be worth it to quell my anxiety. If i do it myself I will worry for Months if not the entire year.

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

:-) well not being worried is a good thing

5:04 pm

redturtlehead

For me. I have a rather elevated anxiety level..

5:04 pm

uusue2

glad it's working out, red, I know you were really worried!

5:04 pm

redturtlehead

UU, I would come but you have that horrid winter weather!

5:05 pm

uusue2

even now, red! (well, we seem to have reached early spring, but still!)

5:05 pm

Nef

red, you could be like a snow bird (but in reverse)

5:05 pm

redturtlehead

I suppose! I do like Florida but its so hot already.

5:06 pm

redturtlehead

Love the flower icon uusue.

5:06 pm

uusue2

anyway, back to recording more grades, maybe I will finish the puzzle tonight?

5:07 pm

Nef

I couldn't stand that heat and humidity myself. And you have bigger bugs than we do too! (except for our reputaion of mosquitos)

5:07 pm

uusue2

Thanks, red! I like the botany photo-of-the-day site, they have a new photo every day with lots of useful information.

5:07 pm

redturtlehead

They spray so well for the bugs I rarely see them...

5:07 pm

uusue2

yeah, nef, at least our bugs die in the winter! :-)

5:07 pm

redturtlehead

though I did see one today in my kitchen...it was a love bug I think.

5:08 pm

jmcnrick

my mother was a reverse snow bird coming up to DC for the cool summers (compared to Texas)

9:12 pm

Jacula

Am I sorry? Sort of, but still getting over her doing a bungee jump and going white water rafting, getting thrown out of canoe, going through the next rapid sans canoe and then being told 'you really have to get back into the canoe' by a panicky looking guide who'd realised they were now in the part of the river where the crocs are.

what do you do at the shelter?

11:26 pm

we intake about 40 guests and serve them dinner. chat with them or watch tv until bedtime. i only go once a month for a few hours at our church.

I do a lot of homeless work is why I ask.

11:29 pm

Good Enough

then you know the struggles they face, how some are very normal people down on their luck and some are outright crazy and then everything in between

11:30 pm

Good Enough

it makes me appreciate my nice home that's not quite as nice as i might like on any other day :)

11:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Absolutely. and the stigma and the sense of failure, and the long road back ridden with many hurdles. And the lack of services.

11:30 pm

Good Enough

the loop, can't get a job bc i cont have an address, cant get an address without a job

11:31 pm

Good Enough

cant get an interview if im dirty from sleeping in the forest preserve, etc.

11:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There was a dermatologist on NPR talking about his pro bono work with homeless people- many skin deseases from frostbite to infections-and how they are so grateful for services that they are willing to wait, while his private patients can't tolerate being kept waiting 15 minutes.

11:34 pm

Good Enough

oh so true!

11:35 pm

Good Enough

but for us, you can tell the ones that have been in the system too long. less grateful, more demanding, knw how to "work it".

11:36 pm

Good Enough

but then the ones who always say thank you and treat everyone with respect. takes all kinds.

11:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There but for fortune go you or I.

11:38 pm

Good Enough

absolutely! especially in this day and age. what kind of work do you do?

11:39 pm

mkg

hi all. clues for the 8s please? dont have any

11:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Therapist. (natch). Work a lot with homeless and addictive issues. Kids on oxycontin, older people who are trying to get some dignity after many years...

11:41 pm

mkg

everyone needs family so they are nevwer without a home to go to in times of need. my dad said a parents job is to be there to help the kids when it is crucial. i agree.

11:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

stats for the 8's would suffice me.

11:42 pm

Good Enough

that's great kap. for years in our area we had systems to provide day to day shelter but the last few they have really worked at trying to get people out of the system and independent again.
