10:34 am

Scrabbler

Who here told me about the English band, Mumford & Sons? I think it was EvaNadine. Oh, how I love their music.

10:34 am

carleekat

they are good arent they scrabs?

10:34 am

crosshair

a good band indeed

10:35 am

Scrabbler

Wow! Amazing that 4 musicians find each other and create such wonderful music!

10:37 am

sadie52

I will have to go to utube and listen to this band i never heard of them i dont think

10:37 am

carleekat

i am trying to figure out what i want to do today,...i am feeling particularily lazy but i am also bored just sitting around...

10:37 am

Scrabbler

English folk rock.

10:37 am

Scrabbler

I have a long to-do list and must attack it soon. I should do garden work before it gets too hot.

10:37 am

carleekat

scrabs...if you like them.... another band u might like ( a canadian east coast group ) Great Big Sea

10:38 am

MollyL

I hear you Scrabs. Seems like my to-do list never ends.

10:38 am

carleekat

i have TONNES of stuff i SHOULD be doing..but its been a wrotten week...so i am taking this weekend for me

10:38 am

Scrabbler

I know them and do like them, but I just learned of Mumford & Sons 2 wks ago when someone mentioned going to a concert.

10:39 am

Scrabbler

Update on your Dad?

10:39 am

sadie52

i do also carlee somehow this seems a far more fun thing to do hehe

10:39 am

sadie52

oh this is a good band

10:40 am

Scrabbler

And I decided to try Amazon Cloud Player last evening, then went crazy downloading music at $ 0.79-1.29 per son.

10:40 am

carleekat

no scrabs..just crap...i am beginning to feel like a bitch whho has been used up by her pups and left out int he sun to rot...i am dealing....and starting to formulate yet another plan of attack...i am just really tired of the rug being pulled out from under me just as life seems to be starting to go a little bit my way ....

10:41 am

carleekat

( and i have been keeping a very positive attitude molls...no watching for shoe droppage.... )

10:42 am

sadie52

positive attitude is half the battle

10:42 am

carleekat

( so this time i was particularily blind sided... as i had no idea what was coming was coming..and i litterally had 2 days of ball curlage... and escapist movie watching )

10:42 am

crosshair

indeed

10:44 am

carleekat

( in short DxH crapola.... i have come to conclusion i need to move out of town as his crap is going to continue for as long as i am in arms length )

10:45 am

CadFan

10:45 am

Scrabbler

Do not allow him to see/hear you being upset. Do not give him any power or control.

10:46 am

Scrabbler

I already have it, CadFan.

10:46 am

sadie52

gee me too darn

10:47 am

carleekat

that just it scrabs...he hears i am doing well..and happy and he sets out to knock me down... this town is too small... he is only happy when everyone is more miserable than he is...even th woman we buy pet food from says how "negative he is...he is walking black cloud and oozes negative energy....she hates whenhe comes in the store )

10:47 am

carleekat

cad thanks but i finished at 6 am....i didnt need it either )

10:48 am

rururocks

maybe he needs doggie treats and positive training.

10:48 am

carleekat

he needs a drop kick into the river with concrete boots attached to his feet ( sorry that sounds cruel...but right now i have had enough of his crap i am starting to get really P'O'ed )

10:49 am

sadie52

I understand the feeling carlee dont be sorry :)

10:50 am

Scrabbler

He is angry, hostile and bitter and wants to hurt everyone around him.

10:51 am

sadie52

I sometimes wonder how people can live with that kind of attitude

10:51 am

carleekat

( that too scrabs..but hs has always been someone who expects his happiness to come from what tohers do for him...and he is just getting darker and darker )

10:52 am

carleekat

our whole marriage was about me doing whatever it took to make him happy..i am still tryiing to figure out what makes me happy....cus for 20 years my happiness was not i mportant in his world...nor mine...

morning Pini

10:55 am

carleekat

what flooring did we decide on?

10:55 am

Pinikula

btdt sistah

10:56 am

Pinikula

hi sadie

10:56 am

Pinikula

I've selected a product by Shaw...it's called Mt. Vernon Cherry (8mm laminate flooring)

10:56 am

carleekat

nice...

10:57 am

carleekat

just googled it... pretty colour.....

10:58 am

Pinikula

thanks ... the existing wood trim compliments the grain coloring ... hopefully will be nice!

10:59 am

carleekat

what looks REALLy pretty.... is if you have white ( off white ) baseboard...but do the 1/4 stained the same colour as the flooring

10:59 am

carleekat

the 1/4 round*

10:59 am

Pinikula

oh that does sound nice :)

11:00 am

Scrabbler

I am back.

11:01 am

Pinikula

my gdau wants me to get chocolate granite counters for the kitchen now, so it will look like a smore (with white cupboards and "graham cracker" wood floor)

11:01 am

Pinikula

hi Scrabs ;)

11:02 am

carleekat

wb scrabs

11:02 am

Scrabbler

I will make flooring decisions sometime too, Pini. My difficulty is that I have knotty pine walls in 3 rooms, so I must get something that will "match."

11:02 am

Pinikula

well, either 'match' or be completely opposite to the point that it 'compliments' ...

11:03 am

MollyL

Carlee, asshat sounds like The Grinch. Only content when others are miserable. Your job, if you can do it, is to be a Who, and sing Dah Hoo Doray, no matter what he attempts to take from you.

11:03 am

Scrabbler

Carlee, enjoy life. It's short and has no guarantees. Do not let Mr Hate suck the life out of you. You cannot control his behavior, just yours.

11:03 am

crosshair

we are lucky here,we have 9ft 2 inch celings and have lots of room for a sub floor and hard wood flooring in the future

11:03 am

carleekat

scrabs...what would look fab in that is a very WIDE natural plank flooring and what would be cool is a grouting/ concrete look between the boards...very rustic looking like chinking in s log home wall

11:03 am

Scrabbler

I do want a rustic/lodge/cabin feel.

11:04 am

Pinikula

a nice hickory is rustic looking...but wouldn't work in my place :(

11:04 am

carleekat

he is the grinch molls... i am now thinking that i will have to apply for govt funding..go back to school ( thinking pharmacy technician )and then move...

11:04 am

Scrabbler

My monkey is quite productive this morning.

11:05 am

crosshair

too bad you are not closer scwabby,i have 3 or r antique wall mounted kerosene lamps that would be a great accent to your decor

11:05 am

carleekat

this was a fun grid scrabs...lots of fun words....

11:05 am

Scrabbler

Maybe we can meet in Toronto someday==halfway for both of us.

11:06 am

carleekat

i want to decorate more cape cod beach... off whites....white wash... pale blues....worn wood

11:06 am

Pinikula

sistah ... just make sure you're doing what you need to do for you, not do something that just focuses on getting away from the jerk ... you're definitely more important than he is

11:06 am

Scrabbler

I must sign off for now. Phone call = friends coming over in an hr and I have to vacuum.

11:06 am

Pinikula

have a great day, scrabs

11:07 am

carleekat

well..i need to be independance from him and any control he has over my life...i need to make a decent salary..i need benefits..and pension...

11:07 am

Scrabbler

Good career choice, Kat--very much in demand.

11:07 am

carleekat

later scrabs...am here and just a txt away if u need hug

11:08 am

Scrabbler

My father already had 3 angiograms and 2 angioplasties/stents in 2003-4, but now he is 80 and the aortic valve will need to be replaced now or soon.

11:09 am

Scrabbler

11:09 am

Pinikula

sounds like you're on the right path then, sistah

11:10 am

carleekat

the program is just new here in my city at the local college... but it is an occupationin demand..i can work here..stay here...but i will also have option to leave if he gets unbearable......its a 2 year program

11:11 am

carleekat

i will qualify for student loan..i may even qualify for grants under ontario works ( retraining program )

11:12 am

Pinikula

...and we'll all be here routing for you just like we did with Stid! ... we know our peeps can do anything they set their minds to!

11:12 am

carleekat

i would love to go back for teaching..BUT.... there is a glut of teachers who are out there not working....

11:13 am

Pinikula

sadly true

11:14 am

Pinikula

but good that you have a back up interest ;)

11:16 am

carleekat

doesnt pay as well either...

11:16 am

Pinikula

...and if you need a change of pace, I have a house to put back together...

11:16 am

Pinikula

...well, after I go through everything (lots going to charity instead of back inside)...

11:16 am

carleekat

i love decorating..i wish i had more $ to have my own..and make a beach house

11:16 am

carleekat

am not investing $ in a rental

11:16 am

Pinikula

...speaking of which, I should get back to sorting. *sigh*

11:17 am

Pinikula

Wouldn't that be the ultimate fun, sistah? I like decorating, too...

11:17 am

Pinikula

Have always had an interest in "flipping", but, well, that takes $ too

11:20 am

Pinikula

Wish I could stay longer, but timing is everything; so I'll check back in later...*hugs* (keep your chin up)

11:20 am

Minveryork

Started babbling early this mo 4/5ing and I am almost done. Although story of clues probably isn't ne4/5ed, I feel like writing one anyway so here it is. I've never taken illegal dr 5/18 in my life. The only dr 4/8 I take is asprin for whenever I have a headache.What's the point of doing dr 5/18 anyway. They might make you feel good, but then you become ed 4/9 when you are not doing them.People get all ri4/4d up&ro4/4 about things that are not too important like getting yo4/7 next fix.Instead of doing dr5/18, some just sell them to make money.Maybe they sell them so they can use the money to by ga5/22 jewelry for their girlfriends. Whatever their reason for doing dr5/18, whether to feel good or make money,I do not think it is worth it. Those people that do abuse dr5/18, don't realize the consequences mi4/5s down the road. Unfortunately, some do not he4/6 the warnings of dr4/8 use & they end up having a gr 4/7 outcome. Their families might have to mo5/14 the loss of a loved one. For example, River Phoenix's family mo 7/40 him when he died from a dr4/8 overdose years ago.If they do not die from a dr 4/8 overdose, then they might suffer other really terrible consequences.Some spend so much money on dr5/18 that they get a li4/4 on their home and might lose their home&then they end up living in an ou5/12 apartment.So at first,they so4/4 through life living a life of riches. Then their life becomes so4/5 and they are left with just ra4/6.However,they are so ne5/16 for their dr5/18,that losing their house doesn't even stop them from using.My Husband wants laptop.He is being a ro4/4 pain in the you know what! How ru4/6 of him to take away computer while I'm babbling!This en4/5 my story. I hope you have a gu 4/8 rest of the day.I am going to go watch the Clint Eastwood movie The Begu5/16d.Hope that you have se4/4 some more words with my story.I will be back later on. Goodbye!

Hi stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:01 pm

stidmama

I am well enough, Saw THE MONKEES last night (45th anniversary tour) and spent the whole day with Tom; but did so with a migraine in place so am paying for it today. I think it was a fair trade! LOL how are you Min?

5:02 pm

uusue2

hi, stid!

5:02 pm

stidmama

hey sue!

5:02 pm

stidmama

ah, I just turned the brightness down on the computer. That helps! LOL

5:03 pm

uusue2

Just started pouring rain here, and I thought I would go out and stand in it to cool off, when Frank called me to come get him - he'd been out walking the dog and got caught in it :-)

5:04 pm

stidmama

oops! no rain poncho in his doggy-walking kit? *silly mama look* no rain here, but has been grey and cloudy in the mornings the last couple days.

5:04 pm

uusue2

the temperature has dropped a good 10 degrees too, which is nice (now it's 81, was 91)

5:04 pm

stidmama

ooooh. NBT. I actually did it by myself for a change!

5:05 pm

uusue2

yay, stid!!!

5:05 pm

Minveryork

I'm well stidmama.I'm trying to get mentally prepared to work 14 consecutive days in a row starting Mon.

5:06 pm

stidmama

it's a little on the chilly side for me, 21 in the bedroom (where it's a little darker and quieter)... about 74? *runs to check conversion*

5:06 pm

uusue2

we haven't had rain in weeks here, and if you look at the weather map there is a little storm pretty much sitting on DeKalb.

5:06 pm

stidmama

ah, 69-ish F. Not too warm, but not too cool for most ays.

5:07 pm

stidmama

I guess the weather gods heard your pleas to save the gardens, then. I need to water my strawberries later...

5:07 pm

uusue2

ah, ok, so it was 33C and is now down to 27C. Still not exactly cool.

5:08 pm

stidmama

no, that's a little TOO warm... have to water the house plants nearly daily when the temps get up there, sue!

5:08 pm

uusue2

and min, 14 days in a row sounds like a lot!!! What do you do (other than chase hubby off the computer so you can babble :-) ?

5:08 pm

lynxxx

are you guys changing your temp measurements? amorning to you all

5:09 pm

stidmama

why 14 consecutive days, min?

5:09 pm

uusue2

hi, lynxxx! Fahrenheit is such an anachronism...

5:09 pm

stidmama

hey lynxxx! no, our family is peculiar. We have so many friends overseas and scientist friends here that we set our thermometers at home to C rather than the common F.

5:10 pm

lynxxx

cute Stid

5:10 pm

uusue2

I am used to both but find the conversions annoying (can't do them very accurately in my head although I am out of practice, not having visited Europe for over 10 years now)

5:12 pm

uusue2

here I usually use both so everyone knows what i am talking about but hadn't seen anyone but me and min and stid in the chat for a while so got lazy

5:13 pm

uusue2

(who knew stid uses celsius??)

5:13 pm

stidmama

I should be more careful about practicing the conversions. I got lazy the last couple years.

5:14 pm

Minveryork

My job is teaching ESL classes 3 hours in mo4/5ing & then chaperoning field trips in the afternoon and on weekends. I'm chaperoning field trips next Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we goto Museum of Natural History and on Sunday we go to Rockefeller Center.

5:14 pm

You're right Dorens. I believe that kind of spelling was British first, then assumed by the Canadians.

like the royals, etc.

Hi dorens

7:41 pm

Dorens

was briefly in arlington yesterday wht, my sister moved to everett st (sadly, because she loved her place on Jason St, however the owners are selling and she is but a renter)

7:41 pm

Minveryork

I am well.I am saving my last word for later on tonight

7:42 pm

wht

Fireworks. Quick grid tonight.

7:42 pm

Dorens

cool beans wht!

7:42 pm

wht

Jason St. is a very nice neighborhood, but too pricey for me.

7:42 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations wht on yo 4/7 fireworks! Way to go!

7:43 pm

rururocks

hey doren

7:43 pm

Dorens

she rented half house at #32 and it was lovely and not unreasonable, but unfortunately no longer

7:43 pm

wht

I will have to look where it was next time I go by.

7:44 pm

Dorens

ru i am determined to lose some weight right now. what elements of your regime do you recommend?

7:44 pm

wht

My wife and I took a ride on the bike path today. We haven't done that in a long time.

7:44 pm

rururocks

no sugar, no carbs..

7:44 pm

Dorens

my son lives in north cambridge and they do that often

7:44 pm

rururocks

increase walking...smaller portions..I've lost 20 lbs.

7:45 pm

rururocks

one glass of wine daily (max).. hard to do.

7:45 pm

wht

I used to commute out to Lexington on it, but then they moved my office out to Littleton, which is 25 miles and too far for me to bike.

7:45 pm

Dorens

i eat almost no sugar and hardly any carbs (but do eat whole grains.. think i should drop them?) have begun to iincrease exercise and have lost five. but very slowly

7:46 pm

rururocks

I know.. I lose some and then gain some back..it's depressing

7:46 pm

Dorens

i really think th smaller portions is impt. One glass of wine isn't hard for me (but was at cousin's party today and did have two) bad doren

7:46 pm

rururocks

I think my metabolism has really changed

7:47 pm

Dorens

cambridge is much more of a biking town than the town i lilve in (i live on top of a hill. don't have the legs for it)

7:47 pm

JenMO16

about to enter my last word!

7:47 pm

rururocks

The no sugar has been helping me.

7:47 pm

rururocks

go for it Jenmo

7:47 pm

Dorens

i have hopes ru.. have no idea how i let myself get this far gone. Does it have to be absolutely NO sugar? if someone made a great cake, can you have a sliver on a once and a while basis? cause that's all i do

7:48 pm

JenMO16

fireworks!!

7:48 pm

rururocks

I go one month without and sparingly the second..

7:48 pm

wht

Dorens, remember that I live up by the water tower on Park Ave.

7:48 pm

rururocks

I got on an ice cream tear for a few days and blew the whole thing..lol

7:48 pm

wht

Any bike ride ends with a significant hill, unless we load the bikes on the car and drive to the bike path.

7:49 pm

rururocks

Well Done jenn

7:49 pm

Dorens

i don't have good geography memory of arlington, but that is hilly, right?

7:49 pm

JenMO16

7:49 pm

wht

East Arlington is flat, but we live in Arlington Heights.

7:49 pm

JenMO16

my last word: where dead people are kept!

7:50 pm

Dorens

i can do without ice cream, but once in a while a bite or two. have told Phoebe about Ice cream sodas and root beer floats.. she never heard of them. Am planning to introduce her to them next month

7:50 pm

Dorens

yes., wht i don't really know arlington heights, except is that where trader joe's is?

7:50 pm

9:23 pm

carleekat

i started felting last winter..and i have a whole bunch of wool sweaters that i felted..that i am going to piece together into a wool throw

9:26 pm

yarn lady

I spin yarn, mostly ssheeps wool but also other fibers as I find them, I knit some hats to felt and sell and also have a shop on etsy.com

9:27 pm

carleekat

i bought a very cool felted hat when i was in asheville...

9:28 pm

carleekat

its hard to find wool sweaters to felt...you have to go to used mens clothes..and their colours are so dark...

9:30 pm

yarn lady

here in northern michigan they are at the thrift shops at times but can be scarce at times- many are making cute mittens from them too

9:32 pm

yarn lady

the wrong colors available is one reson I started dyeing my own wool too:)... wool embroidery onthe dark before you felt might brighten them

9:33 pm

carleekat

i started crochetting mittens then felting them

9:35 pm

carleekat

I am just across from port huron Mi

9:35 pm

yarn lady

Jacula

How many of you got 'desiderata' yesterday? Hi, btw.

9:48 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye carleekat! I will see you tomorrow in the log

9:56 pm

Jacula

It was either a) a silly question, though I did want to know that you know the definition rather than the title of the 1927 poem, or no one is here.

9:56 pm

Jacula

or b), that should have read.

9:57 pm

Jacula

Never mind! It seems no one is around now and no one needs clues. So, well done all!

9:57 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jacula! How are you? I am about to sign off here

9:58 pm

uusue2

hi, all! I finished earlier, Just stopping by

9:59 pm

Jacula

Hi Min, slightly sleepless but okay. About to embark on a week of serious gardening with Other Half, who has the week off work. I hurt my back digging 2 days ago, which is NOT good!

9:59 pm

Jacula

Hi Sue.

10:00 pm

Minveryork

Sorry that you hurt your back. Be careful gardening.

10:00 pm

Jacula

So much to do and I don't need my body letting me down!

10:01 pm

Jacula

I sometimes forget that I am 54 rather than 20 now when I try to do what I used to do in the garden.:-(

10:02 pm

Jacula

My body never forgets to remind me though.:-((

10:04 pm

Jacula

I know that there are lots of places around the world where you can get new car parts. Anyone know of a place for new body parts?

10:04 pm

Jacula

... or quick repairs for old body parts? LOL

10:05 pm

LeslieAnn

du 5/16?

10:06 pm

Jacula

Leslie - Italian catherdrals.

10:06 pm

Jacula

Or even cathedrals.

10:07 pm

uusue2

sorry about your back, Jac!

10:07 pm

uusue2

I have some new body parts but would not recommend it as a quick fix (two knees plus three cervical vertebrae)

10:07 pm

Jacula

Sue - it'll mend in the end. Just hope it doesn't stop me doing what I need to get done this week.

10:08 pm

uusue2

make sure you take it easy - it can easily get worse! pamper yourself for a bit...

10:08 pm

Minveryork

A du5/16 is du + super-model Na*** Campbell LeslieAnn

10:08 pm

Jacula

No,indeed, Sue! I need something like the quick fit fitters (UK).

10:09 pm

uusue2

yeah, that would be nice! :-)

10:10 pm

Minveryork

I've changed my icon for the theme tomorrow which is remembering our beloved Nancy Boy. Now I am off to bed. I leave you with a story of clues in my profile.

10:10 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

10:10 pm

Jacula

Here's the add (for car exhausts in UK) that I was thinking of... http://tinyurl.com/c8m6x2

'Night Min. Sleep well.

10:13 pm

uusue2

cute, Jac!

10:16 pm

Jacula

Sue - you do realise that they sound like flyboys and you probbly can't believe a word they say?

10:17 pm

Jacula

*probably.

10:17 pm

cybernan

hi everyone -- though I'd try it seeing as how it's short -- stuck already!

10:17 pm

cybernan

don't know the supermodel

10:18 pm

uusue2

of course, Jac - it's an advert, after all...still cute

10:18 pm

Jacula

Hi cybernan - not seen you in ages! I'll help, if I can.

10:18 pm

uusue2

hi, nan!

10:18 pm

uusue2

du5/16 is the plural of Italian cathedrals such as the one in central Milan, if that is any help (singular ends in o)

10:19 pm

cybernan

We've been travelling for the last 6 weeks, Jac -- England and Russia

10:19 pm

uusue2

oh that's right, nan, how is it going?

10:19 pm

Jacula

sue - I'm not sure what the definition of ''cute' is in USA. Here in UK it means 'sweet and appealing' or 'quite sharp and knows what's what'.

10:20 pm

Jacula

Interesting combination, Nan!

10:20 pm

cybernan

got home yesterday -- still feeling the jet lag

10:20 pm

cybernan

ty for the du

10:21 pm

uusue2

more on the "sweet and appealing" side, nan, the "quite sharp" is not a definition I'm familiar with

10:21 pm

cybernan

we spent 10 days touring England's southwest, then a river cruise in Russia followed by 12 days in Sussex

10:21 pm

Jacula

y/w re du, Nan.

10:25 pm

uusue2

here's more like the sense I was using "cute", Jac: "affectedly or mincingly pretty or clever; precious"

10:25 pm

Jacula

Nam - that's the oddest cruise I ever heard of. But not so odd as my daughter having a date in Vietnam just after she gets back from her gap year. The date is with an Aussie she'd like to get to know better, but they met briefly, he lives on the other side of Oz to where she was, he wants to see her again but her visa's run out and, apparently, 'Nam is the nearest place for both to meet. Just as well this isn't the 60s or the 70s.

10:26 pm

Jacula

Sue - I don't think we use it in that sense here in UK - at least not people my age.

10:27 pm

uusue2

ah. two people divided by a common language, as they say :-). Good to know!

10:28 pm

Jacula

Well, sue, we all speak 'English' but have you ever tried to talk to someone from Paisley (in Scotland)?

10:28 pm

cybernan

gu 6, please? - don't have either

10:28 pm

cybernan

sorry -- gu 5, I meant

10:35 pm

uusue2

I have talked to various Scots and Irish people, and had a very close friend who was British when I lived in Geneva - learned a lot of vocabulary from her!

10:35 pm

Jacula

gu5(2nd) is being crafty and using native wite to get your own way. Being a bit sneaky.

10:35 pm

cybernan

found the first gu 5 -- just need the last now

10:36 pm

uusue2

third gu5 starts the same way as the 2nd (first 3 letters the same), last two are **w, **w, **w your boat...
