6:59 am

mrpresident

see ya soon

7:00 am

MollyL

Annie, the young ones don't believe in stockings anymore. I find them very attractive with some outfits. However, they seem to have fallen off the "required" list of formal attire. In some instances, that is a darn shame.

7:01 am

mrpresident

hi molly! :)

7:01 am

mrpresident

yes, you are right... but stockings are expected for weddings etc, not lunching.

7:01 am

mrpresident

definitely for dinner

7:02 am

mrpresident

also, stockings have changed so much! the fashion now is amazing and the stockings my daughter wears are gorgeous

7:02 am

Anniebrook

Im back...Molly, not being one of the "young ones" that is why I am asking but I am wearing a long linen shirt so that should be okay. It is just an upscale restaurant/bar that is why I am asking. No stockings!

7:03 am

Anniebrook

*skirt

7:03 am

mrpresident

no stockings :)

7:03 am

mrpresident

and upscale is great with linen!!

7:04 am

EvaNadine

chiming in as one of the "young ones" -- i dont even own a pair of "stockings" anymore. not sure the last time i actually wore them. i do, however, own several pairs of "tights" which i love to wear in the winter.

7:04 am

mrpresident

hi eva! :)

7:05 am

Anniebrook

hi Evan...yes, the winter, then the problem is solved. I use stockings as a catch-all phrase, panty hose, tights etc

7:05 am

EvaNadine

mornin. :)

7:05 am

mrpresident

tights are a must in winter!! I agree

7:05 am

Anniebrook

Tights cover a multitude of sins...lol

7:05 am

EvaNadine

im wearing a dress today, and its bare-legged for me!
WHEEEEEE!!!!!

7:06 am

Anniebrook

I never wear "stockings" in summer...it is just that I was wondering about the 21 Club..now NO stockings

7:07 am

Anniebrook

thank you, all you fashion mavens!

7:07 am

MollyL

Alas, I have seen plenty of people at weddings with no stockings. I find that hosiery makes a nice leg look even nicer, but that's apparently just me and the boys.

7:07 am

Riverdance

good morning friends - no stockings here either

7:08 am

mrpresident

if you can get away with it... a g-string to keep you cooler too

7:08 am

mrpresident

hi river :))

7:08 am

Anniebrook

At weddings, stockings at weddings, yes

7:08 am

Riverdance

its supposed to be 93 degrees today so a dress and no hose

7:08 am

EvaNadine

i dont even wear stockings to weddings. didnt wear them IN my wedding, and i dont think most of my 'maids wore them either. they just arent comfortable.

7:08 am

Riverdance

I agree must have stockings for a wedding

7:09 am

Riverdance

its us old fashioned folk eva

7:09 am

mrpresident

i wore stockings, the ones that stay up at the top of the thigh... felt very sexy to me!

7:09 am

Anniebrook

that was what I was going to wear

7:09 am

mkg

7:09 am

Riverdance

ooh la la mrp

7:09 am

cybernan

Hi all -- a lurking *!* ta da *!*

7:10 am

MollyL

I have seen plenty of "stocking-less" women who would benefit from a good pair of hose. And I agree Mr. P. I don't do panty hose. I wear thigh highs.

7:10 am

mrpresident

hi nan! :)

7:10 am

Riverdance

yay nan

7:10 am

mrpresident

7:10 am

mrpresident

7:14 am

Anniebrook

bbs

7:14 am

EvaNadine

molly, my thighs are hefty, and thigh-highs tend to cause rolls where i dont need them.

7:16 am

MollyL

Well Eva, if you are ever in a situation where you feel stockings are required, try investing in a higher end pair. I know what you mean, and the better ones don't do that.

7:16 am

mrpresident

my thighs are slender, so stockings work well... i much prefer them to tights

7:17 am

EvaNadine

thankfully, i have never found myself in a such a situation. and if i did, i would most likely opt for trousers. :)

7:18 am

Riverdance

I was never comfortable wearing thigh highs so its either nothing or full hose

7:20 am

mrpresident

whatever makes you comfortable, that is for you!! :)

7:21 am

8:41 am

jmcnrick

jmcnrick

ty fish that was a nice touch

8:42 am

wildcat17

8:42 am

wildcat17

hi mrp!! glad to see you're back as you

8:42 am

mrpresident

totally wild!! me and puss are back!

8:43 am

jmcnrick

i gave my notice 2 years ago and I am glad to go but i am not looking forward to showing my replacement how things work

8:43 am

mrpresident

2 years ago??

8:43 am

jmcnrick

we have some differences in style that are making it difficult

8:43 am

mrpresident

must be two weeks? yes??

8:43 am

jmcnrick

my board needed time to get its act together--that is the problem with being the head of an organization

8:43 am

mrpresident

jmc, you just do your job, and she has to do hers/his

8:43 am

wildcat17

he/she will sink or swim, neither your fault

8:44 am

jmcnrick

no 2 years--they had to figure out a job discription and advertise it etc

8:44 am

jmcnrick

thanks for the encouragement--i can always count on babbleland

8:44 am

mrpresident

well, that sucks!

8:45 am

jmcnrick

i want her to succeed i care about the organization a great deal

8:45 am

wildcat17

I know you do. Teach her the best you can and hope it all works out

8:45 am

jmcnrick

no no mr p this is a good thing for me even if this small part of it is somewhat unpleasant

8:45 am

mrpresident

if the new person has different ideas, then let them fly with it! you have done what you were asked to do... let them deal with the fall-out of a new person

8:45 am

jmcnrick

and who knows it may be fine and i am working myself into a tizzy for nothing

8:46 am

mrpresident

i understand, but don't get stressed about anyone!!

8:46 am

wildcat17

there you go!!

8:46 am

jmcnrick

crosshair

good morning everyone;))

9:08 am

crosshair

:((

9:09 am

Maryte

Hey Crossy!!!!! .*.*.*.*.

9:10 am

crosshair

howdy maryte:)))

9:10 am

crosshair

thought i was all alone for a moment

9:11 am

Maryte

no...just concentrating......

9:11 am

crosshair

it is nice to have someone else from ontario..not many of us babble it seems.what part do you hail from?

9:12 am

Maryte

border town Crossy... Sault Ste. Marie...up north :0)

9:12 am

Maryte

small town

9:12 am

crosshair

i know where it is,i live in collingwood on georgian bay,right by blue mtn

9:12 am

crosshair

you are 5-6 hours from ole crossy

9:13 am

Maryte

get out.....exactly where Crossy?

9:13 am

crosshair

when we lived in north bay we were up there all the time for junior hocky games

9:13 am

Maryte

north bay?

9:13 am

crosshair

i am right in collingwood maryte

9:14 am

Maryte

we go through North Bay all the time

9:14 am

crosshair

:)

9:14 am

Maryte

will be passing through on the 25th

9:14 am

Maryte

really nice area there.....pretty familiar with it

9:15 am

crosshair

cool,my da retired to callandar(just outside of north bay) and am up there once a month or so

9:15 am

Maryte

stayed at the Franklin Inn a few times

9:16 am

crosshair

so nice to have someone from crossys neck of the woods:))

9:16 am

Maryte

small world... we like to eat at this Italian restaurant...can't remember the name, but the food is delish and really reasonable there....right on main street

9:16 am

Maryte

my son played a ton of hockey in North Bay

9:16 am

crosshair

my godfather and godmother still live in callander(she is first nation) great woman

9:17 am

crosshair

taught me how to make pike cakes:)

9:17 am

Maryte

stayed at the hotel that kind of looks like a castle...eat at Mario's....what is a pike cake? like crab cake? lots of pike up north

9:18 am

crosshair

yes,like a crab caker,but takes much more patience to make,you have to boil the pike fillets first then sit there and pick out all the tiny bones

9:19 am

Maryte

mmmmmmmm

9:20 am

crosshair

then you make a cake out of the meat and cover it in spiced crumbs and fry or bake

9:20 am

Maryte

love fish....my daughter's fiance is first nation.....we get some nice fish......

9:20 am

Maryte

bison burgers to die for......

9:20 am

crosshair

mmm,crossy loves fish,but alas the mrs does not

9:20 am

Maryte

that sounds delish Crossy.....

9:20 am

crosshair

i can make a moose burger to die for

9:21 am

Maryte

is your secret 'pork'?

9:21 am

crosshair

but again,wife does not like the "gamey" taste of wild meat

9:21 am

crosshair

lol how did you know? yes moose meat is very lean and must be cut with some fat

9:22 am

Maryte

you got it Crossy..... cooked enough moose in my day and the secret is the fat content....ground pork works best...

9:22 am

crosshair

indeed

9:23 am

crosshair

i no longer hunt..except with a camera,but we have a wild game meat shop about 30 from here if i get a hankering for it

9:23 am

crosshair

30 min*

9:24 am

Maryte

moose sausage.....moose meatloaf.... we have a friend who is a 'real' hunter...uses all parts.. throws nothing away. We get some meat from him

9:25 am

crosshair

same when we used to hunt,were always 5 or 6 guys in on it and if tags were scarce that year,we would share it all out

9:26 am

uusue2

hi again, all! time for a short breakfast...

9:26 am

mrpresident

ok, back for a little chat down time :))

9:26 am

crosshair

the young kids(me at the time) were designated "runners" the single tag would be left at the hunt camp,and when a kill was made you would run like hell back to the camp and get the tag for the one who made the kill

9:26 am

mrpresident

hi usue!

9:26 am

crosshair

howdy mrp:))

9:27 am

crosshair

howdy sue

9:27 am

mrpresident

***crossy*** !!

9:27 am

Maryte

hi MRP and Sue!

9:27 am

mrpresident

hi again maryt!

9:27 am

crosshair

how is my hawt down under lass?

9:27 am

uusue2

hi, mrp, crossy, and maryte!

9:28 am

Maryte

:0)

9:28 am

mrpresident

is late, late, late... but can't sleep... the kids have taken it out of me over the last 8 days

9:28 am

crosshair

:(

9:29 am

crosshair

my mrs was also up all night with the insomnia

9:29 am

crosshair

thank god for babble,an insomniacs best friend

9:29 am

mrpresident

well, my dad also took a lot out of me!! he is the luv of my life parent, but geez he gave me heaps!!

9:30 am

mrpresident

too right crossy!!

9:31 am

crosshair

but i see we have a small nasty grid today:(

9:31 am

mrpresident

no~ not nasty! medium grid

9:32 am

mrpresident

there are a dozen words that I had to search for!

9:32 am

crosshair

well,i am 23 words in,shall find out soon i am sure

9:32 am

uusue2

down to 20 left and no list yet (although the chat has been immensely helpful as usual :-)

9:33 am

mrpresident

holy cow! watching Diane Downs case... unreal!!

9:33 am

crosshair

ones like this i like to scroll the chat logs after i hit a wall

9:34 am

crosshair

diving in for a few...sploosh!

9:34 am

uusue2

noticed that some odd characters had snuck into the physics babblets (note to self: save as plain text when editing in Word) so of course I had to go fix it :-)

9:35 am

mrpresident

go crossy!!

9:35 am

uusue2

I think I should add the physics babblets to my faculty service report as part of my service to the community :-)

9:35 am

mrpresident

indeed usue!! I would support that

9:36 am

crosshair

sue,once you save it all to plain text,give it to me,i have a conversion program that i can convert it to e-pub or any other e-book reader format for you

9:36 am

mrpresident

clever crossy :)

9:37 am

crosshair

:))

9:38 am

godthaab

uusue - your physics dictionary is fabulous!

9:38 am

uusue2

oh, I don't need to include the list (they like pdf which I can already create from word), only the fact that I created it.

9:39 am

uusue2

and if people are actually learning from it so much the better! (as with much of my teaching, I have at least as good a time with it as anyone :-)

9:39 am

uusue2

and thanks, godt, that is very nice to hear :-)

9:39 am

crosshair

pdf is nice in it,s way but e-pub is used by all the libraries and uses 50% less space;)

9:40 am

crosshair

but kindle cannot use pdf,rest are fine though

9:40 am

mrpresident

for sharing today... and getting support from the govrnernent

9:40 am

uusue2

given the quirky software we have to use at the university I am glad that they take pdf!!

9:40 am

crosshair

i can imagine what they give you to use sue..lol

9:41 am

uusue2

email is Novell GroupWise, web pages are edited with WebCRMA which looks like it dates from 1995 although they are switching to Cascade

9:41 am

crosshair

lol,they are on the cutting edge..lol

9:42 am

uusue2

there is this godawful thing called OnBase that they use to digitize all student records that has a 26-page list of instructions - not for how to use it but for how to get it running on your computer (including all the warnings you have to ignore) - AND it only runs under Internet Explorer

9:42 am

crosshair

that is so stupid....

9:43 am

sciencegeek

he all ad 5???

9:43 am

sciencegeek

nm i see it

9:43 am

crosshair

use google chrome,scan all the student recors into html or plan text,then use calibre to make it pdf..done

9:43 am

uusue2

anyway brekkies and coffee are done so I had better head to the office; there are papers waiting for me to sign.

9:44 am

crosshair

biggest pain is scanning everything

9:44 am

crosshair

hell,for that matter you can scan it all and deposit it on a flash key

9:45 am

uusue2

well, to be fair, crossy, it does have a filing system with it - every record that is scanned is also given a type (application, letter of recommendation, transcript, etc) and is searchable by student name, ID, category (undergrad or grad), etc etc so there is quite a bit to it

9:45 am

crosshair

any time you want something ,jack in the flash key with the students name on and it voilia!

9:45 am

uusue2

and this is records for hundreds of thousands of students, past and present, don't think it would fit on a flash key :-)

9:45 am

crosshair

you can sort it into however many files your heart desires

9:46 am

doxy1lover

Fireworks

9:46 am

crosshair

you know how much paper records you can fit on 32 gig flash keys? lool

9:46 am

crosshair

yaa for doxy!

9:46 am

uusue2

so I can sit in my office and look at original documents for any student who has ever attended the university (since I have the appropriate permissions to access all the material - that's the other issue is privacy concerns)

9:46 am

uusue2

yay, doxy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!

9:46 am

crosshair

i meant 1 key per student

9:47 am

crosshair

they do make it harder than it needs to be do they not?

9:47 am

uusue2

they do indeed. and the transition was painful - I was the dean of the graduate school at the time and we were the first to do it - but having everything in electronic form is much nicer than paper

9:48 am

crosshair

a single 5 gig flash key can hold your entire paperwork life lol

9:48 am

uusue2

nobody can accuse the graduate school of losing pieces of paper any more :-)

9:48 am

crosshair

encrypt it and you have security as well

9:49 am

crosshair

i had to do this at work,years and years of bills recipts,bills of lading...

9:49 am

FishFishGarden

encrypt it and store in the cloud

9:49 am

crosshair

oh,i still keep the originals..in the basement,but now i can access anything i need for the auditor

9:49 am

uusue2

maybe that is coming - back when we did this, 2005, we didn't have the cloud (or 32 gig flash drives, as far as that goes)

9:50 am

uusue2

we keep the originals too but they occupy an entire building (and that's in boxes, not on accessible shelves) - universities have a LOT of records

9:50 am

crosshair

not even a flash drive sue..a 32 gig flash key..you can hang it off a key chain lol

9:51 am

hurshy

if there were a Q we could have quidditch. of course it wouldn't count but it would be a nice one for NTPN.

9:51 am

uusue2

anyway I am off to work! bbl!!!

9:51 am

crosshair

you can fit the entire student population onto flash keys stored in a single file cabinet drawer lol

9:51 am

crosshair

tc sue

9:52 am

crosshair

for that matter you can store the entire thing on a half dozen high density cd/rw disks

9:52 am

MollyL

Hursh, aren't you the eagle eye for spotting that.

9:52 am

crosshair

or long term dvd/ram disks

9:52 am

hurshy

the glasses help.

9:53 am

uusue2

one more comment and then I really am leaving - there are advisors in every college and department as well as university advisors, financial aid, student assistance, who need access - hundreds of people in dozens of offices around campus - that's why they're in our own cloud rather than a pile of flash drives. Now I am gone. :-)

9:53 am

crosshair

:) tc sue

9:54 am

crosshair

yes,i imagine so,i was thinking you were talking only about long term storage,my bad

9:54 am

crosshair

like,when the year is done..store it

9:55 am

crosshair

do not mean burying little billys grades from last semester in a vault in gringotts:)

9:56 am

crosshair

but i digress,this grid needs my attention

9:59 am

MollyL

I just recently learned about The Cloud and I think it's a fascinating concept.

9:59 am

crosshair

tbh,i have yet to explore "cloud"

10:38 am

doseffing

... I'm a cynic ... it's a server farm ... with an ability to monitor what other screens are watching ... ... they probably run it off old main frame storage devices ...

Maryte

11:13 am

MollyL

No, I have the word, I just don't think it makes any sense.

MollyL

My lips are above the water level Carlee.

11:20 am

stidmama

(hey everyone)

11:23 am

ExWren

Yes, I am still singing, practice every Monday, and a couple of concerts coming up, and a wedding!

11:23 am

stidmama

:-D sounds like fun!

11:23 am

stidmama

I finished that master's program, Wren -- I am licensed to teach now!

11:24 am

ExWren

I have been in Australia for a month, only been back in the UK for 3 weeks.

11:25 am

stidmama

that's a long time to be gone -- hope Australia was fun? pretty cold, I bet (compared to home)

11:25 am

ExWren

Well done stid, brains as well as beauty

11:25 am

stidmama

well, after tearing my hair out in the process, more brains than beauty! LOL

11:26 am

11:27 am

ExWren

I spent most of my stay in QLD, which was warm, but Canberra and Sydney were quite chiily!

11:28 am

stidmama

isnt QLD where the reef is? very tropical, stidkid said. He liked it there.

11:29 am

ExWren

I was in Sydney for the launch of a new commemorative stamp, with my Dad's picture on it, a great honour

11:29 am

stidmama

today the travelling stidkid is off on his first real hike along the Pacific coast on the Olympic peninsula. Going with Eagle Scout friends who know what they are doing!

11:29 am

stidmama

wow wren! does that explain the super-cool icon?

11:32 am

ExWren

My son and family live on the Gold Coast, an idyllic life, the icon is the presentation I received from Australia Post. I was guest of honour with the Royal Australian Navy! I felt quite Royal myself!

11:33 am

stidmama

very cool indeed! *wonders whether to salute for the Navy service or curtsey to the royal wren*

11:34 am

ExWren

Either will do!

11:34 am

stidmama

I am looking at the facebook pics now -- such great pics! cool that you got to meet the other "face" as well! nice that they took both old and new. are those both destroyers?

11:36 am

stidmama

I am very pleased and happy for your family, wren. That is a true honor. Looks like you enjoyed visiting all the cool places (the scepter in the parliament building looks HUGE).

11:38 am

ExWren

My Dad was on the Australia in 1918, when he was 17 years, and it was a battle cruiser on loan to the British Navy during WW1

11:39 am

stidmama

ah. Gee, that's a LONG time ago!

11:41 am

stidmama

okay, I promised Tom that I would get some laundry done -- and box up the rest of the books in my bedroom... and I promised myself a nap at some point...

11:41 am

stidmama

LOL and now Lucky tells me there is a BIG truck backing up next door. Probably going to pour some concrete again. *sigh* really good to see you again Wren! I have missed you! *scatters choclits* *POOF*

good, kazz!

3:09 pm

uusue2

just got two more words, one of which was a silly guess and the other of which I thought I had entered earlier

3:13 pm

uusue2

and two more real words, and another one that is in my physics babblets list. sigh.

3:14 pm

uusue2

so now I can't stand it and will list for my last 4 words.

3:16 pm

uusue2

at least 3 of which I should have gotten. Oh well. Fireworks.

3:16 pm

whoo hooo kazz!

3:17 pm

uusue2

hi, jmc! I see you got back in one piece :-)

3:17 pm

jmcnrick

i did at about 3 am

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

i am not a big fan of the girl with a dragon tatoo though

3:18 pm

uusue2

not bad, actually!

3:18 pm

MollyL

Thank God. I thought I was the only one bored to tears with those books.

3:19 pm

uusue2

lots of violence as I recall (and my not bad was for your 3 am arrival, not for the book)

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

no the only thing that i didn't predict in the first few chapters of the book was the thing based on the swedish system of biblical notation

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

and no financial journalist would have said that bull shit about the crash of the stock market having no effect on the economy because it wasn't "real"

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

<==still does not understand the swedish system of biblical notation

3:22 pm

uusue2

well, I don't even remember that part, must have read it too fast (or too long ago and it wasn't that memorable)

3:23 pm

jmcnrick

it was the key to understanding the girls notes which lead to the serial killer part

3:24 pm

jmcnrick

there were interesting parts but not enough to make me want to read another one

3:24 pm

uusue2

I think I must have read it while i was recovering from some disease or surgery or other, because I don't remember that at all. oh well :-)

3:25 pm

jmcnrick

no sense crowding your mind with that book uu

3:25 pm

uusue2

apparently I have not done so :-)

3:26 pm

jmcnrick

haha

3:26 pm

SpellCheck

Hi all, I usually lurk... Dragon Tattoo books were okay, but I didn't understand the fuss. Mudbound was very good. (Fiction, south 1950s), also Unbroken (bio, WW11).

3:28 pm

uusue2

Hi, spell! Right now I am reading a couple of old Ellery Queen mysteries - quick reads but fun (got a load of books from a local library sale leftover - they were free)

3:28 pm

Concepta

The trilogy was good because it gave me an insight into a different culture and country and also .... The USA isn't the only country for murders etc.....

3:30 pm

SpellCheck

uu- I recently read the Kathy Reichs Bones series (sequentially) and enjoyed them. Not great literature but fun... Currently reading Joyce Carol Oates - A Widow's Story. It's tough.

3:32 pm

uusue2

oh yes, Kathy Reichs is on my list - I've read the first one but not the rest.

3:33 pm

SpellCheck

She's just started a teen series, which I accidentally read. Did NOT enjoy that at all. (bitten by wolf, superpowers)

3:33 pm

uusue2

I am often looking for something to read in the evening (or if I am sick) that requires essentially no brain power. Murder mysteries are my favorite.

3:34 pm

SpellCheck

I like the fluff at night too. Anything too serious and I'm up reading until 2 or 3 am.

3:35 pm

uusue2

I've read a lot of the Catherine Coulter FBI series but was disappointed in the turn they have taken to "woo" - mind reading and the like.

3:35 pm

Concepta

Has anyone read Open by Andre Agassi ? I have only started and I'm hooked, not that much into tennis either

3:36 pm

uusue2

I haven't, concepta, is it a novel or nonfiction?

3:36 pm

SpellCheck

Hadn't even heard of that one.

3:38 pm

Concepta

It's his biography , the first time I've picked up a real book since kindle and I'm loving the tactile feeling of the book but needing the old glasses to read

3:40 pm

SpellCheck

LOL. DH bought me an iPad for our anniversary, so I know what you mean!\

3:40 pm

jmcnrick

I enjoyed reading about the culture too concepta but as a mystery it was ho-hum

3:41 pm

Concepta

If you want a fiction book that is a tad different try "the fates will have their day " by Hannah PRitchard

3:42 pm

Concepta

Don't you love it when the iPad spells a few words for you no

3:42 pm

Concepta

Don't you love it when the iPad spells a few words for you no

3:42 pm

Concepta

In babble I meant

3:43 pm

SpellCheck

Actually, I use my laptop for babble. I can't scroll thru my word list on the iPad 2. Makes me crazy.

3:44 pm

uusue2

there is a site called "damn you autocorrect" that has some extremely funny examples of what can happen on tablets and smartphones :-)

3:44 pm

Concepta

Oh right , I was wondering about that

3:45 pm

SpellCheck

I've had that experience with email too.... at work, no less.

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

Joansie was showing me her babble on ipad and got it to scroll once

3:45 pm

uusue2

oh, I have the same problem with my android phone, spell - I use it sometimes if I am traveling but it is tough

3:45 pm

joansiebone

SC I have been able to scroll in the word list and the chat box...50 % of the time on my ipad

3:46 pm

SpellCheck

Yes, I'll use the iPad for babble when traveling too (I'm an addict), but when I get close to being done, I rely on my list to try and figure what I've missed. Often I mistype and don't notice.

3:46 pm

uusue2

http://damnyouautocorrect.com/ - go to this site and tell me you aren't laughing out loud after a minute or two :-)

3:46 pm

SpellCheck

I've never had any luck with that Joansie

3:46 pm

joansiebone

It seems to depend on a series of taps and finger wagging

3:47 pm

MollyL

Damn You Autocorrect...thought the one about the grandmother dying was priceless.

3:47 pm

jmcnrick

*waggles fingers to help joansie*

3:47 pm

I showed JMC when we visited Saturday AM

3:48 pm

Oh NO Molly it wasnt prying, but just not really worth discussion!!!

In other news, I actually skinned my own piece of salmon today for the first time!!

9:22 pm

crosshair

we were actually going to bring her in when the wife stepped on it in the dark:(

9:22 pm

jesdraggon

mmm. i always hate second guessing a different doctor when i didn't see the patient, but... that doesn't sound like it'd leave a lot of skin to close.

9:23 pm

jesdraggon

i would, i think, at least have offered amputation as an option.

9:23 pm

crosshair

he did mention that at first,but thought he did fine after the first operation

9:23 pm

crosshair

then the end of the tail went cold

9:23 pm

jesdraggon

ah

9:24 pm

crosshair

and after the first operation she was whaking it off people and furniture with no issues,so you knew something was up

I just have to pull all the tack strip up, remove the baseboards, and hammer or pull the pad staples...

10:04 pm

Pinikula

...then wait for the floor and then reinstall the baseboards.

10:04 pm

stidmama

I need to take some pics of the living room after I get the shelves up. will buy the next bracket Thursday. Paint will wait for next year, I think. BUT I am still on target to get my bedroom painted!!! trying to decide between yellow, green or light lavender for the accent walls...

10:05 pm

stidmama

there are just so many little jobs to get to that I am getting distracted from my main task.

10:05 pm

m9f9l

what kind of floor pini??

10:05 pm

Pinikula

talk about painting, I'm trying to figure out if I'll have enough 'muscle' to remove the one wall of navy blue floral wall paper in the living room and paint it a nice accent color (not to dark, maybe a light taupe, but dark than the eggshell on the other walls - to balance the fireplace at the other end)

10:06 pm

10:08 pm

mrpresident

afternoon all :)

10:08 pm

stidmama

you could do a sort of "grasscloth" treatment, pini -- use two values of taupe to give some texture and interest.

10:09 pm

stidmama

hello

11:16 pm

jillibus

nice to see another Canadian, Maryte -- do you know about Lickety's list?

11:17 pm

jillibus

I'm about to change icons for the next theme -- birds in flight.

11:18 pm

jillibus

So...no response from Maryte...changing icons now

11:22 pm

jillibus

Icon changed, with writeup in profile. Too bad so few now take advantage of this aspect of Babble.

11:23 pm

jillibus

Icon themes can be found in flosey's profile and mine, and are really listed by sprite.

11:24 pm

jillibus

So having monopolised the chog with nobody paying any attention, I shall now leave until the fip.
