1:25 am

VolleymomDee

changed my mind about a lot of things... I can't remember his name... he was usually in the water "tending" flipper... the death of flipper actually turned him into an activist... very interesting movie..

VolleymomDee

4:12 am

rubyfoo

hiya coo.girl

4:12 am

Soodle

Hello all. ((((Ruby)))) Mae Culpa - I owe you an email. Laters, I promise :-)

4:12 am

westford

hi ruby and cool...long break

4:12 am

westford

and hi sood too !!

4:13 am

Soodle

:-)

4:13 am

rubyfoo

{{soodle!!}}, {{westford}}

4:13 am

cool.girl

my computer had probs 4 a few weeks plus been working non stop

4:13 am

rubyfoo

I thought I had offended you, as usual, soodles, with my obama remark.

4:13 am

westford

sitting here all alone for 2 hours

4:14 am

rubyfoo

my computer is giving me conniptions (as we used to say, 100 yrs ago)

4:14 am

westford

hope it's all better now cool

4:14 am

rubyfoo

aaaw westford, you should have called.....

4:14 am

westford

lol ruby I remember that

4:14 am

Soodle

Ba ha ha Rubes! It would take a heck of a lot more than than that to offend me!!

4:14 am

rubyfoo

or maybe conniption-fits

4:14 am

westford

how was your visit with the president sood?

4:15 am

cool.girl

yeah ended up buying a laptop

4:15 am

rubyfoo

our friends from Dublin arrived yesterday and they were much more impressed with the Queen's visit than with O'Bama's

4:15 am

westford

he doesn't have a pretty hat is why

4:15 am

westford

great cool do you love it?

4:16 am

rubyfoo

nor does Michelle!

4:16 am

westford

true ruby but she does have class

4:16 am

westford

not to say the Queen doesn't

4:17 am

westford

Mrs.Queen is a classic

4:17 am

rubyfoo

from what everyone says, the Queen really had a wonderful time in Ireland, even smiled and responded to the Irish warmth

4:17 am

westford

how could she help it

4:17 am

cool.girl

much better trouble is never get any reports 4 work done cause im to busy babbling

4:18 am

westford

when we got off the ferry from Wales even the customs officer welcomed us

4:18 am

Soodle

Both visits went exceptionally well, thank goodness. I think the Queen's was more impressive as it was the first visit by a reigning monarch in over 100 years. It was hugely significant.

4:18 am

Soodle

And thanks for the nice words about Ireland :-)

4:19 am

westford

cool must keep your priorities straight..babble comes first lol

4:19 am

rubyfoo

we need some good news to take our minds off DSK (eew)

4:19 am

westford

you're welcome sood..very true

4:19 am

rubyfoo

def comes first!

4:20 am

westford

hard to believe no reigning monarch has been to Ireland for that long

4:20 am

westford

ruby now there's another int'l banker in trouble..what is it with those guys?

4:21 am

Soodle

Aw rats.... I have to go & do a bit of work. Have a lovely day, everybody. Poof

4:21 am

rubyfoo

think they're above the law; it's disgusting. And the French are all complaining about DSK's equal treatment before the law, not like this "old boy's network"

4:21 am

rubyfoo

bye

4:22 am

westford

bye sood hurry back

4:22 am

westford

are you still having nice weather ruby?

4:22 am

rubyfoo

we finally got our much-needed rain but it's really cold now

4:22 am

rubyfoo

once

4:22 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

4:23 am

westford

you had rain once? lol

4:23 am

westford

already had that

4:23 am

rubyfoo

slightly wired from too much coffee....

4:23 am

rubyfoo

we had no snow all winter except in december and then a terrible drought

4:23 am

westford

somethings not right in parent land

4:24 am

rubyfoo

parent land?

4:24 am

westford

our oldest daughter has not been answering emails so I asked my husband to drop by to see her on his way home from the office..he goes up about once a week and she lives nearby

4:24 am

rubyfoo

how old is she?

4:25 am

rubyfoo

nest

4:25 am

westford

I got a text from her and she said she wants to come see us on Friday to discuss something

4:25 am

westford

she's our oldest 44 but you know you never stop being a mother

4:25 am

westford

so now I'm worried

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I hate "announced" conversations. My husband does that and it's always unpleasant. Can't people just talk?

4:26 am

rubyfoo

my son is 48 and I know exactly what you mean.

4:26 am

westford

saw her on the 15th and she seemed tired and said she and her husband of 25 years had been 'fighting'

4:26 am

rubyfoo

no, 47, bad mother Nel

4:26 am

westford

her oldest daughter is moving out so that might be part of it

4:26 am

westford

they have always been very close

4:27 am

westford

Cassie graduated from college last year and still hasn't found a job

4:27 am

rubyfoo

woe is you!

4:27 am

westford

so she's going to go back and get her masters

4:28 am

rubyfoo

ones

4:28 am

rubyfoo

zones

4:28 am

westford

I don't think she'll leave hubby she loves his family too much lol

4:28 am

rubyfoo

I'm losing my marbles, so sorry, I'm sure you had those already but don't report me to the hall monitor, please!

4:29 am

westford

oh I will.."Miss, Ruby is putting words in the chat log"

4:29 am

rubyfoo

that's very goood, her going back to school, will surely help the empty-nest syndrome

4:30 am

westford

she has a home day care so she's surrounded by 2 year olds

4:30 am

westford

maybe that's the trouble lol

4:30 am

rubyfoo

BTW, my beloved Ruby hid for more than an hour yesterday in pouring rain and I drove and walked around the village crying and calling her name. Crazy. When I got back she was waiting for me on the stoop, soaking wet and crying.

4:31 am

westford

oh no how awful

4:31 am

rubyfoo

totally destroyed my day.

4:31 am

westford

is she afraid of rain?

4:31 am

rubyfoo

and husband, as usual, slept through the whole drama

4:31 am

rubyfoo

must run *poof*

4:31 am

westford

Clue please for cr 8/50

6:14 am

SeaSpray

sorry gran...don't have that one

6:15 am

SeaSpray

but I just go it...think moon

6:16 am

SeaSpray

or a type of dinner roll

6:19 am

Trifioso

I have not seen you for a long while sea spray - how are you?

6:20 am

SeaSpray

I am well Trif and you?...Is the pic of you and your son>?

6:20 am

Maryte

good morning! :0)

6:20 am

SeaSpray

gm Mary

6:21 am

Trifioso

yes, sea spray it is. He is graduating on Saturday....snif.

6:21 am

Trifioso

I know I am going to be a sobbing mess on the day....

6:23 am

SeaSpray

Oh Trif...I remember the feeling...the harder tears will flow when you take them to college and walk out of that dorm and leave them behind...I remember it being a very long ride home...Graduations tend to bring back memories of their sweet, innocent childhood

6:24 am

Trifioso

double snif. he is my first one to fly the ne4, so I am very nostalgic right now. and the college he will be attending is smack in the middle of the city, and thus a real change from our rural setting

6:26 am

SeaSpray

But, do enjoy the day...it is a big adjustment, espedcially when they become so independent...Yes daughter grew quite accustomed to the city life as well after living in the country...her best friend from college lives in the city...country girl and city girl met the first day of school and remain best friends 7 years later, both are RN's and very successful

6:27 am

Trifioso

what a wonderful story of your daughter, sea spray! I hope that so much for my boy. he is really, really shy, so I am hoping he will meet some good friends in college, exactly as you describe - life long friends

6:29 am

Trifioso

my phantom today is - create

6:30 am

SeaSpray

What will you son be studying? I have told Megan (daughters friend) that my daughter is so fortunate to have a great friend like her...she gave her the most beautiful bridal shower you could imagine and was her maid of honor...College may be just what you son needs to overcome his shyness...Is he looking forward to college?

6:31 am

Trifioso

he is going to an art college, and wants to become a teacher, so he will be there for a five year course, after which he graduates with an MFA and a teaching cert, if all goes according to plan. He is REALLY excited about the classes and being in the city. Less excited about the odds of having to share a room - my only boy, he has never done so.

6:35 am

SeaSpray

Sound like he has a great plan, which is most important...sharing a room can be a challenge but there are ways to overcome difficult situations when rooming...daughter did a 5 year stint to ger her bachelors in nursing and it was well worth it

6:35 am

Trifioso

thanks sea spray. Like all parents, I just want him to be happy.

6:38 am

SeaSpray

She also had 3 roommates, but each girl had their own bedroom, shared a bath with one other girl and had a common kitchen, living room area

6:38 am

SeaSpray

She also had 3 roommates, but each girl had their own bedroom, shared a bath with one other girl and had a common kitchen, living room area

6:39 am

SeaSpray

He will do very well and is only a phone call away...chin up Trip!

6:39 am

Trifioso

if he gets a double in the dorm, he will be sharing sleeping quarters with one guy, and sharing a bathroom between four, I think

6:39 am

Trifioso

oh, yes, I know. it's just the change is hard

6:40 am

Trifioso

and, to be honest, I with things with the ex were more friendly, even so. It would be so good to be able to talk over how fast it has all gone, have a bottle of wine and gas over how proud we are, our hopes for his future. but we don't really talk, so that's out, and I miss it

6:41 am

SeaSpray

Oh, hubby is pulling over for breakfast now so I had better get a move on....I know, letting them fly is very hard...have a wonderful graduation Trif and next week you can tell us all about it!\

6:41 am

Trifioso

thanks sea spray,and traveling mercies!

6:42 am

SeaSpray

bye Trif...heading to Myrtle Beach

deer can be very scary; they stand in the road, very nonchalantly, and when there is ice and snow, uh oh....

8:10 am

yes, Mom, it could have destroyed the car! to say nothing of the poor animal

8:10 am

we live right in town and have a problem with deer - paper just ran an article that they have surveyed 664 deer in the city limits

8:10 am

I work with someone who hunts deer. He told me those whistles don't work. Just what he says.

8:10 am

did not know deer filled out surveys;)

8:10 am

no deer here, unfortunately (I'd rather have to watch out for them than not have any)

8:10 am

Oh Flosey, that would have been horrible.

8:11 am

Mom

ah, no biggie Molly

8:12 am

8:12 am

NonoNanette

venison is good if cooked right

8:13 am

MollyL

We have managed hunts around here to control the deer population. Me, I could never hunt. I cried when I ran over a squirrel once.

8:13 am

Mom

brother tried to pass off venison bbq as beef bbq. ha! no way. You could tell by looking at it it wasn't beef

8:13 am

wvteach

the first day of deer hunting season (Monday before Thanksgiving) is a big holiday here in WV

8:13 am

rubyfoo

I don't like the taste, but wouldn't hunt anyway. However, in my salad days, I welcomed a chunk of venison when I couldn't afford other meat

8:13 am

MollyL

Unfortunately, venison is cooked in my office all the time. No one could pass it off as beef to me.

8:14 am

a tag for the november hunt and a nice kill when my da used to hunt meant a freezer full of deer and not macaroni 4 nights a week all winter long..got used to the game taste fast lol

if you buy all natural pb, it too will separate if not kept in frig.

smart balance peanut butter doesn't need refrigeration and has a good balance of types of fats and omega acids and all that. i highly recommend it. :)

9:02 am

flosey

not familiar with that brand, hurshy

9:03 am

hurshy

hmm, maybe it's only in the US.

9:03 am

flosey

perhaps

9:03 am

hurshy

they sell margarine, pb, veg oil, all sorts of things that are healthier than regular options.

9:03 am

hurshy

is good for me with my cholesterol issues.

9:04 am

we have same available, just different brand names - I too have had cholesterol probs.

when I refused to take meds for it, dr sent me to an exercise program - all heart issue people, and got it down as well as losing 50 lbs! 3 times a week - I should have kept going!

9:06 am

lol

9:06 am

flosey

nor I hurshy - we did try it though, unsuccessfully

9:07 am

flosey

do not like tofu

9:07 am

flosey

I even made it myself - was softer than store bought

9:07 am

hurshy

you really can find things that YOU like that are healthy, different things work best for different people in terms of their lifestyle and what they will stick with. if you don't like your food, it's not a sustainable diet.

9:07 am

crosshair

you will pry my eggs away from me only by removing them from my cold dead hands

9:08 am

hurshy

there are things i like that i don't eat very often anymore - but they have been substituted with other things i like, not with things i hate.

9:08 am

MollyL

That is so true Hursh. A diet that consists only of food you don't like will either lead to starvation or an aborted diet.

9:08 am

flosey

we too hurshy - when hubby had cancer for the second time, we did change our diet considerably

9:08 am

flosey

and felt better for it

9:09 am

hurshy

and now some things i used to like that are unhealthy, i have less of a taste for, as i've moved away from them.

9:09 am

flosey

eat the desired (non recommended) treats occasionally

9:09 am

crosshair

though i admit,there has to be a change..3 cancers later and i am eating more veggies and less fatty meat,more fish and less red meat

9:37 am

uusue2

hi, crossy! :-)

9:41 am

crosshair

co 5/22 a neat word we do not see often in babble=to confer with in earnest,usually with other motives

9:42 am

uusue2

nice one, crossy!

9:42 am

crosshair

lol,i even beat the dictionary on that one;)

9:42 am

crosshair

the dictionary lists it as some vague mexican drug deal lol

9:43 am

crosshair

or french to resell

9:44 am

crosshair

i always try to remember a word first before o go tapping away at the question marks beside it in babble..good to exercise the mind

9:45 am

uusue2

ah, ok, the original French is a little different, makes more sense now...

9:45 am

uusue2

indeed, crossy!

9:45 am

uusue2

<---- used to be quite fluent in French

9:46 am

crosshair

i was force fed french all through high school,so of course i made it my mission to forget as much of it as i could...regret it now but cest la vie

9:46 am

crosshair

i am sure that is also incorrect;)

9:47 am

crosshair

but i am not a member of pariment,i am not running for any official office and i do not get out east to quebec much

9:47 am

uusue2

I took it in high school, took one semester in college because I could satisfy both the foreign language requirement and the literature requirement with a French literature course - then many years later found myself moving for a year to Geneva, so brushed up before going and then became quite fluent while there

9:48 am

uusue2

my son was fully bilingual for a while - I put him in a French-speaking kindergarten (he was 4) - but he's long since forgotten it all

9:49 am

crosshair

usually when ontario residents travel to the east coast a point is made to get to the quebec border around 2 pm,rent a room till midnight or so,then get up and drive right through la belle province in one go

9:50 am

uusue2

I actually have some fondness for Quebec - my high school French classes took a 5-day trip there every spring, and I absolutely loved it (of course it was 5 days away from the parents, which didn't hurt!)

9:51 am

crosshair

well old quebec city is amazing and must be toured at least once

9:52 am

uusue2

did it three years running, then convinced my family we should take a vacation there :-) haven't been there since about 1968, though

9:56 am

crosshair

now the east coast,there is a grand vacation,get a little cottage right on the ocean so you can almost feel the salt spray through the bedroom windows,and walk the green hills and fells over to some little pub and have a local ale and order up a lobster boil with a nice salad and slabs of fresh crusty bread slathered in butter.then charter a boat and tour the coast for the afternoon

9:57 am

crosshair

get to practice your newfie speak 'stay where yer at till i come where yer to"

9:58 am

uusue2

sounds lovely (except Frank wouldn't be able to drink the ale or eat the bread - he's a little complicated to travel with :-)

10:00 am

uusue2

but I love to travel - maybe after I retire I will have some time...

10:02 am

uusue2

HA! exactly half way. Now we can leave :-)

10:02 am

crosshair

frank have gluten issues?

10:02 am

uusue2

celiac disease, not diagnosed until he was in his mid-50s so he is extremely sensitive

10:03 am

crosshair

not good,i have seen the cost of the specialty foods for that...insane!

10:03 am

crosshair

a small loaf of rice bread...10 dollars!

10:04 am

uusue2

he volunteers at the local health food store, so we get 20% off but it is still expensive

10:04 am

uusue2

mostly we eat veggies, a little meat, other grains (rice, corn, quinoa, buckwheat)

10:04 am

uusue2

potatoes...

10:04 am

Judi

Good morning, all. Hey uusue - there is a gluten free beer. It's called Red Bridge. I think Budweiser makes it. It even tastes like real beer!

10:05 am

crosshair

thank god for rice eh?

10:05 am

uusue2

he does all the cooking (which is fine with me :-)

10:05 am

crosshair

yes judi i have seen it here also

10:05 am

uusue2

yes, we just bought some! It's about twice the price of regular beer but a very nice treat.

10:05 am

uusue2

yes, rice is nice :-) we have a rice cooker which helps a lot

10:05 am

crosshair

after years of no beer it must be nice

10:06 am

uusue2

and I bought him a 50-pound bag of popcorn a while ago - will last a long time!

10:06 am

crosshair

booz is not an issue i guess he can drink saki with no issues

10:07 am

Judi

Vodka is made from potatoes!

10:07 am

crosshair

the polish stuff is judi

10:08 am

uusue2

sake is ok but wine gives him trouble

10:08 am

uusue2

distilled liquor is fine, though, and he really enjoys a nice single malt

10:08 am

uusue2

apparently the distillation process removes all the gluten

10:13 am

uusue2

ok, I am heading out with exactly half the words found :-) - be good, kiddoes!!!

11:54 am

MollyL

Hi Nan. Enjoy your Grandma time.

12:00 pm

cybernan

we don't live here wvteach -- live 300 miles inland. But depending on your interests, you should take in Gastown (restored old city centre) and Grandville Island (artisans and market that shouldn't be missed). I think there are outdoor concerts in July and of of course, you will want to spend some time touring Stanley Park.

12:01 pm

cybernan

oh - and you can take a chair lift to the top of Grouse Mountain for the wonderful view.

12:01 pm

we will driving around BC and will be at Manning Provincial Park for a wedding - are there things to see around there?

12:02 pm

wvteach

we are very blessed to have them right here in town with us so I have him several times a week

12:06 pm

cybernan

Manning Park is pretty isolated -- it is provincial wilderness park halfway along the Hope-Princeton Highway. If you continue east from Manning Park you will come to the Okanagan Valley (we call it the Napa Valley of the North, with over 60 wineries). Three main towns there -- Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon with numerous villages strung out along the 79 mile long Okanagan Lake. What dates in July will you be here?

12:06 pm

Lots of artistic kids in this community. My son has a degree in Fine Art.

1:06 pm

She does real nice work in fine arts as well but really want photography as her major. She will get a taste of it all at this college though. All arts are required for all students as well as all the liberal arts classes.

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

and actually most states' department of education have a webpage to help students find additional money

1:08 pm

Riverdance

she applied for many scholarships - nothing yet...Im surprised as she is an honors student with good grades, 3 languages, national honor society, sports all 4 years, multiple clubs, latin honor society. What more do they want???

1:08 pm

jmcnrick

my son was eligible for $1000 because he was the descendant of a signer of the declaration of independence that we just found by accident

1:09 pm

Riverdance

one of my daughters best friends got almost a full scholarship because she is legally considered a midget at 4 foot 10...too funny

1:10 pm

sammysmom

speaking of kids... i had an amazing conversation with my great grandson, sam, yesterday... He informed me that the capitol of ojio is columbus and cincinnatti is on the ohio river and akron makes tires and they have a blimp, and that toledo is on lake erie and they have a college that his coisin amanda attends and that we live in a suburb of cleveland ( gave me the correct address) and that he is pleased with the new watering can that i gave him as he can now water everyone's toes ( we have 10 you know)...... he will be 3 years old next month

he sure scares me molly.. his mom is quiter relaxed about his ability... I probably would have him registered at harvard by now

Haz1558

He'd get extra funding because he's so short....

1:21 pm

sammysmom

i have a nephew who went to princeton when he was 15, he was an md when he 20..

1:22 pm

sammysmom

never thought of that, think he woukld qualify as height challenged and get a grant?

1:23 pm

Haz1558

Absolutely. Riverdance was quoting the example of a girl who was designated a midget (4 foot 10) and she got lots of money.

1:24 pm

Haz1558

Can I ask a stupid question and query why you get extra money for being short?

1:24 pm

sammysmom

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, sometimes ya just has ta say hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

1:25 pm

sammysmom

and can you get money if you are over 7 foot tall?/ that is out of the "norm" also.

1:28 pm

Haz1558

I don't know.

I feel very fortunate to have "met" NB here. I have fond memories of his charming spirit.

7:25 pm

May I please have a clue for tr7-28? Thanks

7:37 pm

Angela

Everyone survived the tornado watches and warnings ok? We had two touch down about 40 miles from here. Crazy hail and thunderstorms...

I forgot you were so close Angela! Yes, we survived. The storms really melted away before they got to us. The boys were scared though.

7:41 pm

MollyL

Well, it's really a part of a bridge, but train bridges are referred to as tr7/28s

7:41 pm

Angela

We're still under watch until 11pm but I think the worst has passed. Springfield MA and the areas around seem really torn up, but not as bad as the midwest...

7:42 pm

Jillyjill

7:42 pm

car.eeyore

No, nothing like the midwest.

7:42 pm

Thanks much, MollyL.

Congrats Nan!

9:23 pm

I guess OK. I just took a percocet, which makes me feel like a failure, but I feel a lot better.

9:24 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Doxy how are you?

9:24 pm

lynxxx

Hi Red. Is it as bad as you feared?

9:24 pm

MollyL

Now, now. Not a failure. Pain meds exist for a reason.

9:24 pm

doxy1lover

not bad, I heard you had surgery. Hope you feel better soon. You should know that pain med help.

9:25 pm

Jillyjill

Been off for awhile red, hope you heal soon

9:25 pm

redturtlehead

I think it is a lot better. My only concern right now is that I walked on my leg a bit, and then found out I should not....

9:25 pm

redturtlehead

I follow up on Friday and we will see what he says. and PT tomorrow.

9:25 pm

doxy1lover

what did you have done?

9:26 pm

redturtlehead

It is very hard to walk and function with only the crutches. but I am now being more careful.

9:26 pm

MollyL

Red, it's got to be hard for a person as active as you are to be inactive in order to recover. Try to take things in do-able doses.

9:27 pm

redturtlehead

I had a hip arthroscopy, they trimmed some bone off and repaired my hip labrum...

9:27 pm

doxy1lover

the good thing about arthroscopy is you heal pretty fast. the bad thing is the PT

9:28 pm

redturtlehead

Hip arthroscopy is very different than the knee or the shoulder. It took about 4 hrs, I had to be intubated and no weight bearing for 2 weeks.

9:28 pm

herinfernallady

Red you will be running in no time

9:28 pm

redturtlehead

I'll probably be running in September.

9:29 pm

9:29 pm

herinfernallady

When the wound is healed can you do water aerobics?

I think Ouwachita that it is a person who administers exams?

9:30 pm

herinfernallady

That bottom C is turning my hair grey

9:30 pm

redturtlehead

yes, I'll be in the pool in a week or so, once the MD clears me. I'm just in that phase of waiting to see if the surgery worked, a little nerve wracking.

9:30 pm

You will be fine
