westford

hi and bye stid..big grids are fun

12:56 am

jillibus

Westie -- thanks for your lovely icon and writeup -- most interesting. My maiden name was Murray (derived from Moray, I believe), and hubby's niece married a Cumyn (very close to Comyn). So it stirs the Scottish blood...

12:57 am

jillibus

12:57 am

westford

2 of our granddaughters are Urquharts

1:03 am

flosey

but later in the day, the fellas went up Mt. Maxwell and grandson played his guitar while son took a video of him with surrounding views

1:04 am

westford

how nice..sounds idyllic

1:04 am

flosey

I'll post it, if I can

1:04 am

westford

I hope so

1:10 am

jillibus

It's a wonderful view from there

1:17 am

flosey

I'll post a pic of Mt. Max. from the front of our property tomorrow - have to resize it

1:21 am

flosey

here it is

1:22 am

westford

I refreshed but can only see the tiny picture

1:23 am

flosey

I resized it so it would show here

1:24 am

flosey

you can actually get up to the top, there's a strong fence at the edge

1:24 am

westford

how high?

1:24 am

flosey

will have to look it up!

1:25 am

westford

have you been to the top?

1:25 am

flosey

you can drive most of the way, walk maybe about 10 minutes or so

1:25 am

jillibus

the road is terrible!

1:25 am

westford

my kind of mountain climbing lol

1:25 am

flosey

yes, often, we always take visitors up there

1:26 am

flosey

we can see down the valley, put a tarp out on the shed so we can identify our property, house is hidden by trees

1:26 am

westford

that's very cool

1:27 am

westford

I was going to ask if you could see your house from there

1:27 am

flosey

but yes, as jilli says, the road is bad

1:27 am

westford

all rutty?

1:28 am

jillibus

I don't know why they don't fix it

1:28 am

flosey

yes, not kept up very well

1:28 am

flosey

with so many tourists going up, you'd think they would fix it

1:29 am

jillibus

ruts and humps and dips and rocks etc.

1:29 am

westford

is there a charge to use the road?

1:29 am

flosey

no, public road

1:29 am

jillibus

no charge

1:29 am

westford

maybe if they charged a nominal fee they could fix it?

1:30 am

westford

dollar a car or something like that

1:30 am

westford

I bet people wouldn't mind

1:30 am

jillibus

nobody there to collect it, lol!

1:31 am

westford

I was thinking of you and flosey lol

1:31 am

flosey

don't think it would be easy to do that

1:31 am

jillibus

oh, cool idea -- we'll get rich

1:31 am

westford

I want a cut

1:32 am

flosey

you have to come and help

1:32 am

jillibus

but you'd have to pay income tax on it -- unless you got rich enough of course.

1:33 am

westford

okay

1:33 am

westford

we could fix the road ourselves and keep all the money

1:34 am

westford

couldn't you just see it now? lol

1:34 am

flosey

you are very energetic, we4

1:34 am

westford

in my dreams flosey

1:34 am

flosey

lol

1:35 am

jillibus

but come anyway

1:35 am

westford

I plan to

1:36 am

jillibus

hooray! when?

1:36 am

westford

not for a bit..daughter is just leaving Mon

1:37 am

westford

but not too long

1:37 am

jillibus

coming this summer?

1:37 am

westford

summer's out but maybe next year

1:38 am

westford

maybe even in the winter..ours are getting too snowy and cold

1:39 am

jillibus

winter here is dreary and unpredictable

1:39 am

westford

like much of the northwest

1:40 am

westford

ours are dreary and predictable

1:40 am

westford

you don't generally get icy roads do you?

1:41 am

flosey

occasionally

1:41 am

westford

please inform the weather man to have only perfect weather when I come out

1:41 am

flosey

we'll do our best

1:41 am

jillibus

we get black ice sometimes -- and snow, which isn't cleared promptly.

1:42 am

westford

thank you lol

1:43 am

jillibus

we haven't been getting any summer to speak of so far. The whole continent is steaming but we're stuck in the 60s and low 70s with cloud and very little sun :-(

1:43 am

westford

I'd be there for the company I hope you both know that

1:44 am

jillibus

My guest room awaits...

1:44 am

westford

thanks very much

1:45 am

flosey

we have one too, but functional, not as elegant as Jilli's

1:45 am

westford

thank you too flosey I really appreciate the invites

1:45 am

jillibus

Elegant? Hardly! It's partly sewing room.

1:46 am

westford

I'm not sewing. lol

1:46 am

flosey

didn't notice, jilli, I thought it was lovely

1:47 am

westford

has there ever been a babble meet up on SSI ?

1:47 am

jillibus

There's a table in the far corner where the sewing machine lives.

1:47 am

jillibus

But thanks, flosey.

1:48 am

flosey

very handy, jilli, I have to put up and take down every time I need it

1:48 am

flosey

**need to sew

1:48 am

westford

I put my grandmother's sewing machine in the sitting room haven't opened it since we moved here

1:49 am

westford

her cabinet, newer machine

1:49 am

flosey

is it antique?

1:49 am

flosey

the cabinet?

1:49 am

westford

my father bought it for her around 1940

1:50 am

jillibus

I don't do much sewing these days -- just mending and shortening pants and such.

1:50 am

westford

but when we were little my mother had one that wasn't electric and she made most of our clothes..including winter coats

1:51 am

westford

don't know what happened to that

1:51 am

flosey

wow, that's the kind my girlfriend learned on

1:51 am

westford

I did not get the sewing gene

1:52 am

jillibus

We had a treadle machine at school in England -- my first experience with a sewing machine too.

1:52 am

flosey

I did make a lot of my own and daughter's clothes but don't do any of that now

1:53 am

flosey

being tall and skinny, I was hard to fit so sewing made it easier, Mom made most of our clothes

1:53 am

westford

my greatgrandmother supported herself and her 2 children as a seamstress..great grandfather was killed in an accident when my grandmother was 4 and her brother was 1

1:54 am

jillibus

Lack of money led me to sewing. I made a grecian style evening dress when I was at McGill, with tubular white "silk" jersey and gold ropes for curtains. By hand.

1:55 am

flosey

I bought material a few years ago for a curtain for office (sun creates glare on computer) DIL made it while she was here

1:55 am

westford

did the ropes come from curtains Scarlett?

1:55 am

flosey

sounds lovely jilli

1:55 am

jillibus

Made a few other dresses too. It was wartime and dad was interned in Hong Kong.

1:56 am

jillibus

I have a picture of it somewhere.

1:56 am

westford

it does sound lovely

1:56 am

jillibus

I knew Scarlett would come to mind, lol!

1:56 am

flosey

lol

1:56 am

westford

amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it

1:57 am

westford

I made our oldest daughter's flower girl dress when she was 4 and cried the whole time..I hate sewing lol

1:58 am

westford

was pregnant with our 4th at the time so that may have had something to do with it

1:58 am

jillibus

Poor westie!

1:59 am

westford

so your sewing machine is safe from me jilli lol

1:59 am

westford

and flosey would love to have a dil to make curtains for me

2:00 am

westford

I*

2:00 am

jillibus

hiccup time...

2:00 am

westford

this one didn't last very long

2:02 am

flosey

she did the same thing last time she was out - made curtain for spare bedroom

2:03 am

jillibus

hiccups don't seem as obvious as they used to

2:03 am

jillibus

Lucky you, flosey!

2:05 am

flosey

she's so fast too! her mom is a seamstress and she taught her

2:07 am

flosey

when she had her wedding dress made, she wasn't pleased with the top so took it off - along with all the beadwork and completely restitched it all

2:07 am

jillibus

Wow!

2:07 am

flosey

that was my reaction jilli

2:09 am

flosey

I would have just cried! would never attempt such a job

8:17 am

Mom

good morning Molly, she is an original. Minus one toe. I put her in the toaster to see if you would fly

8:17 am

sprite

oh WOW that is wonderful! So happy for you both.

8:18 am

uusue2

(actually what they are doing is asking for a 6-month continuance, then if nothing else has happened they will drop the charges)

8:18 am

hurshy

what a relief

8:18 am

uusue2

indeed!!!!!

8:18 am

jmcnrick

a good time for him to explore the world elsewhere

carleekat

heheheheeh

8:43 am

car.eeyore

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (didn't want her to scream alone!)

8:43 am

uusue2

what they are doing is asking for a 6-month continuance, after which the charges will be dismissed if he stays away from her.

8:44 am

uusue2

Wednesday the girl is giving a deposition to our lawyer (for the order of protection); my son has to be there - this will probably be hard on him

8:45 am

uusue2

I plan to be there as well (mama bear! watch out!!)

8:46 am

carleekat

grrrrrrrrrrrrr...u go mama bear

8:46 am

car.eeyore

Damn right Sue!

8:47 am

uusue2

she has the right to ask that I not be present, but the chances that she knows that are small

8:47 am

carleekat

depends on how familiar she is with system

8:47 am

uusue2

they had trouble serving her as she hasn't picked up her mail for a long time, but our lawyer's guy finally cornered her

8:48 am

uusue2

she's a kid without a lawyer, carlee (and I suppose I should feel sorry for her), so pretty clueless, I think

8:48 am

uusue2

she's been in the habit of getting out of things by acting pathetic, which isn't going to work for her much longer

8:49 am

carleekat

yes..butu also said they are "familiar" with her in court system

8:49 am

uusue2

that's because the cops have been called to her place numerous times for disturbances

12:53 pm

crosshair

Alien Hand Syndrome is a condition that conveniently defines itself: AHS sufferers believe that one of their hands acts completely on its own. A 1990 medical journal tells the story of one longtime smoker who repeatedly put a cigarette into her mouth with her good hand, whereupon her alien hand would remove the cigarette before it could be lit. The disorder is generally caused by brain damage resulting from strokes or physical trauma.

hi, all! nice day today, went to the arboretum, took the tram tour (an hour! the arboretum is big!) and then hiked for an hour and a half - hot but not beastly so, and few mosquitoes. Very nice.

6:15 pm

Jellen

Hi, uusue...sounds nice...

6:15 pm

Jellen

I've just been hanging out with the cats and watching poker on TV...

6:16 pm

uusue2

It was. We sprang for a membership and have already gotten way more than our money's worth.

6:18 pm

stidmama

hey sue. ((hugs)) I am resting today too, Jellen! hanging out is very nice. Tom helped me get two walls of the bedroom clear. Now I just need some primer and the right nap of roller and we can start some painting!

6:19 pm

uusue2

hi, stid! maybe we will rest tomorrow - getting outside and walking in the trees was really nice, though.

6:20 pm

6:25 pm

doseffing

6:25 pm

Uses the same ending as the receptacle where you dump trash...dump****

6:25 pm

doseffing

... and don't forget the plural for the do9

6:25 pm

phaeton

ty

6:25 pm

Scrabbler

do4/6 as in idiot, nitwit, dunderhead?

6:26 pm

uusue2

6:27 pm

Jellen

So much for relaxing...it has been determined it is play time...

6:27 pm

Scrabbler

Am I looking for a compound word?

6:28 pm

uusue2

no, scrabs, one with an ending that you would not have expected

6:28 pm

doseffing

... no ... it's just an ending to the do4/6 you pointed out

6:28 pm

Jellen

No, Scrabbs...see my comment at 6:25?

6:29 pm

stidmama

LOL see you later Jellen -- the rain just keeps pouring down here, taking an eyeball break. *poof*

6:29 pm

Scrabbler

So it starts out as do4/6 and ends in dumpy***?

6:29 pm

Jellen

Bye, stid

6:29 pm

uusue2

bye, stid

6:29 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Stid

6:30 pm

Scrabbler

AHHHHHHHHH, I was looking for ending of dumpyard. I am such a do4/6.

6:31 pm

uusue2

I still think it is a weird word.

6:31 pm

Scrabbler

Yes it is

6:32 pm

6:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl

6:56 pm

starryjess

oh ok :)

6:57 pm

hurshy

michigan appeared to be one of the worst states for obesity in that study they just did - most of the others were in the south.

6:57 pm

hurshy

but all states are not doing so hot!

6:58 pm

starryjess

It's the tenth worst, right?

6:58 pm

hurshy

probably, i just saw a map, it didn't say the individual rankings.

6:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

It was actually Gandalf the Grey making noise upstairs--chewing and tossing cardboard boxes.

72 Temple Owl

7:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

Nope. Gandalf is 7, Tucker is 6 and Miss Bea is at least 4. (she was a rescue bunny that I fostered then adopted)

7:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

I don't have one any more. It didn't work out. These things happen sometimes you just don't fit the shoe

8:28 pm

periwinkle

sorry to hear that,herin, I didn't know

8:29 pm

herinfernallady

It is ok. I just haven't really said much

8:29 pm

uusue2

hi again, all!

8:29 pm

i'm sorry it wasn't right, but if itwasn't a good fit your life would have been a misery

8:29 pm

bethn

hi sue

8:29 pm

uusue2

hi, beth!

8:30 pm

herinfernallady

That is true. Much happier just tending to the house and family (if the fur kids are family and himself)

8:30 pm

herinfernallady

HI Sue

8:30 pm

bethn

just got home from a visit with my mom. very long day....

8:30 pm

uusue2

herin, sorry to hear about the job, sounds like you have a good attitude about it though

8:31 pm

bethn

fur kids are absolutely family, as are feathered, scaled etc. every family looks different

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

You have to keep smilling or you will go nuts

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

Yah I just found the Jazz channel on our tv radio

8:31 pm

uusue2

indeed! I have three furbabies myself :-)

8:32 pm

herinfernallady

Beth how is your bird?

8:32 pm

bethn

one fur, one feathered here

8:32 pm

uusue2

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Dan. Beth is the bird a Eccles bird?

8:34 pm

uusue2

we bought it for his court appearance yesterday although as it turned out he didn't really need it

8:34 pm

uusue2

and hi, crossy and dan!

8:35 pm

bethn

my son is very hairy, more so than anyone else in the family. We just recently found out we have Italian ancestors, so we tell him it is the grandpa that abandoned his family that gave him his hairy legs

8:35 pm

uusue2

well, my son gets it from both sides, so no surprise there :-)

8:35 pm

herinfernallady

Sue did it all work out?

8:36 pm

bethn

8:36 pm

herinfernallady

8:36 pm

uusue2

apparently his ex-gf has rather a reputation as being quite unreliable...

8:37 pm

herinfernallady

Beth cute on the bird. My dad and uncle's had a budgie as children and it new curse words.

8:37 pm

uusue2

so we are all absolutely giddy with relief.

8:37 pm

bethn

glad to hear it sue, we never get to stop worrying about them

8:37 pm

herinfernallady

O Thank gods Sue. Time to put the suit to use and have a party :D

8:37 pm

uusue2

and hi, jmc, eventually you will come on to babble and I will not be talking about this any more :-)

8:38 pm

8:38 pm

uusue2

I had a sister in law who had an african grey parrot who used to imitate the doorbell and the phone - quite accurately - she was always running to the door only to realize it was the bird

8:38 pm

herinfernallady

I finally used ebay last night for the first time

8:38 pm

herinfernallady

Jm Not a drama. I just haven't said anything much

8:39 pm

bethn

this one has been heard to mutter sh4 but i have really tried to curb my language with this one. our african grey would curse at very appropriate times and it was not always a good thing, but it WAS always funny

8:39 pm

herinfernallady

LOLs Sue they are such an intelligent bird.

8:39 pm

jmcnrick

still too bad something will come up eventually

8:39 pm

herinfernallady

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

8:40 pm

herinfernallady

Are you happy about this JM?

8:41 pm

bethn

this one has my daughters text message alert down to a tee. it drives her nuts. after she picks up the phone he laughs like a lunatic, which really aggravates the hell out of her

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

i am -- i'd be happier if i had a new job to go to but i am happy

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

it was time for both me and the center to have a change

8:41 pm

herinfernallady

Guess how much crap we tossed last week

8:43 pm

bethn

the last time we had to board this guy, the lady was changing all the birds food and water - she slipped on a puddle of water on the floor and the seed went all over the room- Jazz laughed hysterically at her and repeated it every time she came back into the room. She was not pleased :)

8:44 pm

uusue2

how much, herin? (I always wanted to play the straight one)

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

*gets drums ready*

8:44 pm

herinfernallady

One skip that was 4 metres square. FULL. I am ashamed

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

8:45 pm

uusue2

yay, herin! You must feel so much better having gotten rid of all that stuff.

8:45 pm

bethn

I am cleaning out closets etc tomorrow, the big brothers association is having a pick up on monday wo it is a good way to clean out old stuff and help someone out at the same time

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

i have been tossing crap for about a month now to get ready for the kitchen redo and every week my can is full and i have given boxes and boxes to charity

8:45 pm

herinfernallady

Just bid on ebay 4 chairs to replace the dinning room chairs as they will cost about $1000 to repair

8:45 pm

bethn

Woot Herin! I hate the actual process of throwing away, but love to see it go

8:45 pm

herinfernallady

New Kitchen JM?

8:45 pm

lbdawger

peri, to 6.21 is babbler ***gone + you skin breathes through ***s

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

hope you get the chairs

8:46 pm

jmcnrick

fringe benefit of mother's death is enough money to redo my kitchen

8:46 pm

herinfernallady

So do I. The maximum amount we will spend is $200 as that is all that is in the kitty

8:46 pm

bethn

holy crap Herin, what do they want to do to the chairs for a thousand dollars, gold plate them?

8:46 pm

herinfernallady

JM I didn't know aobut your mum.

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

she died friday nov 13 2009

8:47 pm

bethn

fingers crossed herin

8:47 pm

herinfernallady

Beth they need French polishing and recovering. If they were family heirlooms then yes but they are not so we will get similar

8:47 pm

herinfernallady

OK JM.

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

that does seem to be quite a lot to repair chairs

8:47 pm

uusue2

sorry to hear about that, jmc - still pretty recent...

8:47 pm

herinfernallady

I was going to say that too Sue

8:48 pm

jmcnrick

ty she was really miserable for the last year so it was a blessing for her

8:48 pm

jmcnrick

but she would have loved this game

8:49 pm

bethn

it is not easy, jmc, we lost my dad june 2009, there are still times every week i think i hae to remember to tell dad this, he will love it

8:49 pm

jmcnrick

when she couldn't read we would sit and do crosswords outloud with her

8:50 pm

jmcnrick

lol my dad died in 1985 and sometimes i wish i could share something with him--the people you love never go outofyourlife

8:50 pm

lbdawger

amen to that, JMC

8:50 pm

uusue2

my mom died in 1973 - I finally can see ro*** (her favorite flower) without thinking I should buy her some but it took a very long time

8:50 pm

herinfernallady

That is so true JM. My best friend (who was a brother to me) died in 2005 and some days I still go to pick up the phone to call him

8:51 pm

jmcnrick

i have friends who never met my husband but comment how they feel they knew him

8:51 pm

jmcnrick

sheesh i have 249 left!

8:52 pm

MollyL

JMC, I never met your husband. But after you told the story of how you two met, I will feel like you shared one of the best parts of him with me. Thanks.

8:53 pm

jmcnrick

there are a few million other stories molly! lol he could always make me laugh

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

my boy says that i have ruined him for life because none of his friends understand when in the middle of a big fight he makes a joke and starts laughing and ends teh fight

8:54 pm

bethn

I took my mom out for a ride today, nostalgic places , Saratoga Lake, family celebration restaurants, At one point we drove by an old boyfriend's house, I said look Mom that's where Dave lived. She laughed and said the Tire changer - he serviced broken down 18 wheelers. whenever he called my dad would say "beth your tire changer is on the phone" withoout benefit of covering the receiver. I always wondered if that contributed to the demise of that realtionship :)

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

my boy says we are dysfunctional that way!

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

lol bethn

8:55 pm

MollyL

I would say you and your boy are more functional than most that way.

8:55 pm

uusue2

I would second that!!

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

but one of always ruins a good fight!

8:56 pm

9:04 pm

herinfernallady

9:06 pm

when i was in the biz and it was a concrete floor that was uneven we used to score the old floor with a quick cut and jackhammer 2 inches off the old floor and then pour 3 inch fresh over top and you have a new level surface

9:06 pm

uusue2

9:16 pm

uusue2

funny story - as manuals are much more common in Europe - whenever I rented a car in Switzerland it was always a manual. One day I got to the Geneva airport, went to the rental car desk, and after the usual paperwork the agent hemmed and hawed, and then said, all I have left is an automatic, can you drive an automatic?

9:16 pm

herinfernallady

I was given the opertunity to buy a 1970's Torana near mint condition for $500 never did

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

9:20 pm

herinfernallady

I also had the chance of buying a Datsun 1600 and I didn't.

9:20 pm

crosshair

those land cruisers rocked..they were solid and reliable
