Melon, may you remember the good memories.

1:27 am

grannyrose

melon, when my dad died...kept expecting him to pop in from another room, where he was hiding. i empathise with your loss. doesn't matter how old you or your dad is, it's still hard to accept that he isn't there any longer.

1:28 am

flosey

My dad died at 66, much too young, and I missed him so but often talked to him and oddly I could just imagine how he would respond

1:28 am

melonheadjujube

Alzheimers. dx about 3 years ago. Went from assisted living to a dementia home, Kemper House, this past summer. His decline was swift and peaceful. He never went through a combative stage, and never didn't know his immediate family. my son who is 20 made sure we were at dad's side every day this past week. He's an inspiring kid. Thanks for everyone's sentiments.

1:28 am

rururocks

that's a tough one melon.. I'm sorry

1:29 am

{{HUGGLES}} Melon

1:29 am

grannyrose

flosey, exactly. that's what got me through the first few years. even so, at night, i still dream of him, and wake in tears. so, melon, my heart breaks for you.

1:29 am

dcseain

As ends go in our culture, that sounds like about as good as it gets. Glad y'all were able to be there for him.

1:29 am

melonheadjujube

Here's what I wrote about him:

1:29 am

melonheadjujube

Joseph M. Savino could rightly claim the mantle of self-made man. The third child of Antonio and Carmela (Turtora) Savino, and the first to be born in the United States, he grew up in the Chicago suburb of Blue Island in a neighborhood populated by families from his parents' home town of Ripacandida in Italy's Basilicata province, and did not speak English until he entered the first grade. From these beginnings, he graduated high school with honors and went to work as a draftsman. Over some resistance from his widowed mother, he became the first in his family to attend college as a scholarship student at Purdue University, where he majored in mechanical engineering, obtaining his PhD. Upon completing his doctorate in 1955, he went to work at what is now NASA Glenn, starting in the field of fluid mechanics. Highlights of his thirty-five years at NASA as engineer and post-retirement years as a consultant included participation in the wind energy and technology transfer programs. He had a reputation for being a clear and readable technical writer. He was fond of telling people he got paid to have fun.

Joe defined for himself two life-changing events: discovering work he loved, and meeting the woman he married. Joseph and Marilyn (nÃ©e Sadock) were the parents of six, whom they brought up in Berea, OH, choosing a college town as a desirable place to raise children. Together they enjoyed travel, bicycling, theater, and dancing. Joe was especially proud of his role in making Berea bike-friendly and developing a bike safety program for children. Joe had a special love of classical music, and while not a musician himself, he made sure his children had the opportunity to play. He frequently attended performances at the B-W Conservatory over the years.

Joseph Savino was born November 6, 1928 in Altoona, Pennsylvania. His last months were spent at Kemper House in Olmsted Falls where he was cared for in the final stages of Alzheimer's disease. He died on January 23, 2012. He was predeceased by his wife of 51 years, Marilyn, daughter Rachel, granddaughter, Katy Dobbs, brother Hank, and sister Mary. He is survived by his children, daughters Juliana Sadock Savino, Teresa Savino (Roy), Mary Dobbs (Michael), sons Christopher, Michael (Beth), brothers Danny and Anthony (Annamaria) and eleven grandchildren, Jenni Frcho, Fred Cumberworth, Rosalie and Molly Carlson, Jeff and Charlie Dobbs, James and Avery Tishue, Constance and Maya Savino, and Sam Savino.

On a more personal note: my dad's highest compliment to me was "you would have been a really good engineer"â€”he really could not understand how, given the choice, anyone would want to be anything elseâ€”and yet it was his reverence for music that undoubtedly influenced me to take that up. When we were coming up he had a small but well chosen record collection, and I remember how he would balance an LP gingerly on his splayed fingertips and warn us neither to touch the needle nor "jump the record" by running around too much. Two records made me cry so much as a kid that he only played them at night, Vivaldi's Seasons and the ErÃ¶ica Sym. The ErÃ¶ica scared the hell out of me and I think I was well into my twenties before I listened to it in a live performance or voluntarily at all. It still does.

Oh, and he wasâ€”still is even in his slack-jawed throesâ€”wicked handsome. He and my mom were a gorgeous couple.

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

oh, fun wedding experience... have you ever had make up applied with a sprayer (almost like a paint sprayer)? It was really interesting.

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

I also had my first chocolate martini made with chocolate vodka, frangelica and almond liquer by De Kuyper... glass was edged with Hershey's chocolate syrup and grated semi sweet choc. oh my goodness...

1:41 am

1:41 am

ursh

glad the wedding went well Dee - my son was bestman at a wedding which we attended and they had a remote button camera set up with a box of dress up clothes at hand - i enjoyed watching people take fun photos of themselves

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

LOL, hence the spray... it didn't look like spackle at all lol

1:41 am

lynxxx

that sounds quite sinful Volley

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

we just heard of that ursh; sounded really interesting

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

1:42 am

Photo booths at weddings are quite popular here

1:42 am

ursh

ah yes lynxx thats what it was ; a photo booth

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

Indy is gearing up for the Super Bowl, which is why they were trying new drinks. That really sounds like fun.

1:44 am

rururocks

yes.. I've heard about the Peyton Mannins drink

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

Had one ridiculous event with 2 inebriated relatives, but it was taken care of quickly and w/o incident... frustrating however, and wish they would have just stayed home to get drunk

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

and what would that be ru?

1:44 am

rururocks

two cocktails and you have to brace your ownself

1:44 am

1:48 am

melonheadjujube

ts ruru. I'm OK. It helps that it was neither sudden nor lingering. just enough time to be with him. He was never in pain, thank God.

1:49 am

melonheadjujube

phantom: etagere

1:49 am

dcseain

not lingering is a blessing, speaking as one who spent 3 years watching my father slowly decline.

1:49 am

rururocks

that's good..

1:49 am

flosey

VolleymomDee

so sorry to hear flosey hope he improves quickly

1:52 am

dcseain

it was, but it was also 25 years ago. Time dulls the memories except when it doesn't. As i tell people, the hurt never goes away, but becomes less frequent. :)

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

absolutely true dc

1:53 am

melonheadjujube

d'OH! nbt. good thing I found that last E before anyone gave stats. The fish slap would have hurt my dewy complexion...

You're welcome.

2:37 am

1 lousy t word left....and can i find it? nooooo.

2:38 am

Haz1558

I'm probably not going to be much help, unfortunately. Do you know stats?

2:38 am

grannyrose

it's a te7

2:39 am

Haz1558

te7 - comparatively small (from top right)?

2:39 am

grannyrose

ah, it's the last te7

2:40 am

grannyrose

now it's fireworks!!!!

2:41 am

Haz1558

Well done!

2:41 am

grannyrose

thanx haz, and how are you, hun?

2:41 am

Haz1558

I'm well, thanks. I'm keeping busy with various things.

2:43 am

grannyrose

my cruise of new zealand leaves in 11 sleeps, but i'm not counting. lol

2:43 am

Haz1558

That should be fabulous. I've never been on a cruise but I like the idea of them. How long will you be away?

2:44 am

grannyrose

going to meet up with groovykiwi, and himself's cousin.starting to get excited. duh!!!!

2:45 am

Haz1558

That'll be fun, it's always nice to meet up with people.

2:45 am

grannyrose

haz, 14 days, 13 nights. if you want to see our ship, log into princess cruises. select dawn princess. there is a bridge cam which shows you where the ship is in real time.

2:46 am

Haz1558

Looking now. Not that I'm nosy or jealous or anything.

2:46 am

grannyrose

our last cruise was to vanatua and new caledonia. it was so much fun.

2:48 am

Haz1558

Anybody I've talked to has always highly rated cruising.

2:49 am

grannyrose

okay, they are stilla t sea. wonder if they will let me stand at the bow and wave....wouldn't it be fantastic? you could all see me. lol

2:50 am

Haz1558

I like the idea of being able to visit lots of places without having to pack and unpack.

2:50 am

grannyrose

yup, that's a definite plus, haz

2:52 am

Haz1558

Over here there are lots of coach tours throughout Europe but the thought of having a different bed every night just doesn't appeal even though it's a great way of seeing lots of countries in a short space of time.

2:52 am

grannyrose

mind you...i'm glad i wasn't on that cruise ship in the mediterranean

2:53 am

Haz1558

It's been a terrible tragedy but so avoidable if the captain had only been sensible.

2:53 am

grannyrose

i'm with you, haz...but it seems to be the only way to see large bits of europe.

2:54 am

Haz1558

When I first heard the news 'a cruise ship has run aground off Italy' I just pictured a boat too far in - couldn't believe it when I saw it lying on its side.

2:55 am

grannyrose

almost ' titanic '. sort of...anyway. one doesn't think such a thing could happen in this day and age

2:56 am

Haz1558

It shouldn't have happened at all if the captain hadn't been so reckless. At least the death toll isn't as horrendous as it might have been but it's no thanks to him.

2:57 am

grannyrose

nearly 8pm here, and himself is circling like a shark...think he wants to be fed

2:57 am

Haz1558

I'd feed him, granny, you'll get no peace otherwise.

2:58 am

grannyrose

will say good-night, haz. have a great day/eve. whichever is appropriate. catch you at the flip

2:58 am

Haz1558

Enjoy your meal, granny. See you again!

3:24 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:26 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

hello haz

3:28 am

rubyfoo

I wonder if that captain is still in jail. He certainly should be.

3:29 am

Haz1558

The last I heard he was under house arrest.

3:29 am

rubyfoo

from what I've read, there weren't enough lifeboats, trained cew to man them or even lifeboat drills

3:30 am

Haz1558

Certainly the lifeboat drills have been questioned - I haven't heard that there weren't enough lifeboats but the problem was in launching them because the boat was at such a difficult angle.

3:31 am

rubyfoo

and waiters were "driving" them

3:33 am

Haz1558

Yes, but don't forget that on a ship that size, the number of people qualified to actually sail a boat would be tiny. There's a huge difference between a cruise ship that size and actually physically doing anything with a boat.

3:34 am

rubyfoo

many years ago, I took the France transat and there were as many crew as passengers and, they had trained crew members for each lifeboat

3:36 am

rubyfoo

but that was '67 and there weren't alll these enormous ships and so many passengers

3:36 am

Haz1558

I know - 4000 people aboard is amazing.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

I've lived in towns smaller than that!

3:38 am

Haz1558

There's not going to be much left of the ship by the time they finish. They were starting to use explosives to clear the way to try and recover more bodies.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

but what about the fuel? I haven't seen any updates on how they're going to get all that fuel off

3:39 am

rubyfoo

think about those waters.....

3:40 am

Haz1558

I don't know what they're going to do about that. It's probably a case of trying to get the bodies found without doing damage to the tanks.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

and can you imagine the amount of baggage and such that will be washing up on shore for years?

3:42 am

Haz1558

And the insurance claims..

3:42 am

rubyfoo

the whole thing is a nightmare and that wasn't exactly a pristine coast before all this

3:42 am

rubyfoo

we use generali, so I imagine even our rates will go up

3:45 am

Haz1558

It's been costly in terms of human life and material goods and all because of one man's stupidity.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

it's really too frightful to imagine. Fortunately, it's well-documented

3:49 am

Haz1558

I'm always surprised that people have the presence of mind to take photos/videos etc.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

yes

3:59 am

Haz1558

er4/4 - makes a mistake

4:00 am

Haz1558

er4/4 - er and the abbreviation for a saint

4:00 am

Haz1558

The other two from there are longer. er plus the name of a German river (er7) and its plural er8.

4:01 am

Haz1558

The river sharts like the name of an African horned animal if that helps.

12:57 pm

suz01

bbl.....have a webinar for work to do.

12:57 pm

Riverdance

224 words is it

12:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

bama, 224 is the number -- maybe when you typed one you mistyped and it didn't count?

12:59 pm

bamakitty1

it's telling me 224 words and 3105 points in the little box but I was hoping for some kind of "hey you're finished" something! Maybe cause my trial period ended and this is the second time I've ever finished one. Too much time on my hands today! LOL

1:00 pm

cybernan

re 7/36, please? does it build on the preceding 5?

1:00 pm

Riverdance

yes trial period is only 2 weeks - you need to become pro to see the fireworks display and the tile stats

1:00 pm

Glantarell

evening all

1:00 pm

Riverdance

its cheap enough and well worth it bama

1:00 pm

bamakitty1

also, what does nbt and nbs mean?

1:00 pm

Glantarell

re7 - re + what you burn logs in

1:00 pm

Riverdance

no blank tile and no blank stats

1:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

bama, that must be it, then. you will not regrent ponying up the cash to join 8-)

1:01 pm

Riverdance

meaning you have at least one word for each tile

1:01 pm

bamakitty1

what are blank tiles and stats? this may sound stupid but don't we all see 25 un-blank tiles?

1:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oops, i mean regret

1:02 pm

cybernan

mm - I burn them in a fireplace!

1:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

when you have a tile that says 0 (as in, 0/1) then that tile is "blank"

1:02 pm

cybernan

oh -- the thing in the fireplace -- ty

1:02 pm

Glantarell

what is the thing in the fireplace which holds them off the ground?

1:02 pm

Riverdance

you see blank because you are not pro yet - we however see letters and numbers in them

1:03 pm

Glantarell

Nan- perhaps this is one of those things between US english and UK english - try gr5 - what happens when soembody gets on your nerves

1:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

right now my second tile shows "N 0/6" meaning there are six words that start from that N and so far I have found 0 of them

1:03 pm

bamakitty1

oh, ok. yep all i see are the values of the tiles. Thanks for clarifying!

1:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(but then i'm working on the G right now)

1:05 pm

bamakitty1

oh now that would be helpful!! mine just says "1"

1:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmmmm, i joined so long ago i forgot what things looked like to "newbies" 8-)

1:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(that 1 on the N is the point value . . .)

dianedecoder

our library just moved into a new building...awesome place, BUT the didn't put in the ereader lending feature... I guess it's coming though.

2:30 pm

crosshair

your library is our town hub,were wused to have it in a horrible 60,s era office building.then a proposal went up.do we go to the next town for our books OR the gov will chip in a million and we would have to come up with 4 mill ourselves..we had enough within a year lol

2:30 pm

dianedecoder

one little thing I have against the Kobo, is ... if I want to go back and read something that I may have missed that pertains to the plot, it's hard to find. I'm just finishing the Girl Who Played With Fire, and you really have to pay attention to everything... it gets "tangled" for sure !!

2:30 pm

crosshair

DO NOT TAKE OUR LIBRARY AWAY! lol

2:31 pm

crosshair

i have a nook,it can page search,word seach of pharse seach to pinpoint a part of the book

2:32 pm

dianedecoder

There WAS no library here when we moved here in 1973, but I'd been a member of Book of the Month Club and Double day for years... so they got a lot of business for a while !

2:32 pm

dianedecoder

I don't think a Kobo does that :-(

2:32 pm

crosshair

2:33 pm

2:33 pm

5:44 pm

jillibus

Hi kje -- I'm waiting for Feb 2 when I see the surgeon and get x-rays. My 6 weeks of "no weight-bearing" was up last Saturday so I've been doing a little walking with the frame, very gingerly, and it doesn't seem to be doing any harm. Just one snag -- the wound on one side of the leg is taking a very long time to heal and is still quite open -- getting attention from home nurses twice a week.

5:44 pm

gramma

5:36, I asked for a clue. Help please.

5:44 pm

5:46 pm

jillibus

They even attempted a Chinese meal for the New Year yesterday -- but not very successfully

6:07 pm

6:07 pm

westford

are the meals microwave ready?

6:08 pm

jillibus

west, I haven't tried cooking -- it does require standing up and that's hard to do on one leg for any length of time. Warming things in the microwave doesn't rank as cooking imho, lol!

6:08 pm

westford

wow crossy lol

6:08 pm

jillibus

hiw's your weight doing, crossy?

6:09 pm

westford

right jilli..and since mine is mounted above the stove I'd have a hard time with that

6:09 pm

MollyL

I would say three pounds of cheese in a pan of lasagne is excessive, and I am a cheese lover.

6:10 pm

westford

oh but nothing better than leftover lasagna

6:10 pm

crosshair

6:11 pm

jillibus

west, the meals come in aluminum trays, unfortunately. They are really ample, so the home support helper divides them onto two plates. My microwave is also usually on a raised shelf but my wonderful neighbours took it down and put it on the counter so I can reach it.

6:11 pm

westford

now I want some

6:12 pm

crosshair

6:12 pm

6:32 pm

MollyL

6:32 pm

herinfernallady

6:32 pm

westford

*around

6:32 pm

cosdem

i have it all saved up on my dvr.. im gonna record it all to a dvd so i dont have to buy the box set when it comes out :)

6:33 pm

herinfernallady

Hulu is stupid and not available in Aus. That said they complain about piracy yet shows are not shared outside of the USA on legit sights

6:33 pm

MollyL

Is what still around?

6:33 pm

westford

hulu

6:34 pm

westford

great idea cos

6:34 pm

westford

dof that is crossy's last name

6:34 pm

westford

he must be in his livery serving dinner

6:35 pm

MollyL

Yeah, Hulu is still around. Why wouldn't it be?

6:35 pm

westford

I thought I heard they were doing away with it

6:35 pm

westford

glad I thought wrong

6:36 pm

jillibus

I though crossy's last name was Smith

6:36 pm

MollyL

Not sure why Hulu is exclusive to the US. I know that certain sites are exclusive to certain countries. I had trouble accessing Australian tv sites when I was following something once.

6:37 pm

westford

help with my last h please I have 5 ha and 2 hi..what am I missing please

6:37 pm

herinfernallady

Because the USA would rather have a mental over illegal downloads than actually having a legal option

6:37 pm

westford

you got that right herin

6:37 pm

herinfernallady

The fbi just shut down a website suspected of piracy. even though it has legitimate uses.

6:38 pm

cosdem

another ha west

6:38 pm

MollyL

I'll skip this conversation. Later folks.

6:38 pm

6:41 pm

6:41 pm

jillibus

6:41 pm

6:43 pm

westford

6:43 pm

crosshair

we can trace the melbourne clan right back to a fraction before the year 1000( my brother ordered the family tree(cost 1000 dollars lol!)

6:43 pm

cosdem

abc is good.. cpsan is best if you dont want the commentary

6:43 pm

westford

I wonder how he'll do..

6:44 pm

westford

wow crossy that is amazing

6:44 pm

cosdem

hes a good speaker. he'll get a small bounce..

6:44 pm

jillibus

who's the he you're wondering about, west?

6:44 pm

herinfernallady

Well still like to know what I said to be offensive. That said no wonder I don't bother talking here anymore considering that was a non political / offensive comment about piracy

6:44 pm

cosdem

President Obama. in the state of the union address tonight.

6:45 pm

jillibus

Oh -- must watch that!

6:45 pm

cosdem

its on in a hour and 15 mins.

6:45 pm

westford

herin I can't speak for molly but I don't think it was anything you said

6:45 pm

jillibus

thanks, cos.

6:46 pm

jillibus

neither do i, herin.

6:46 pm

crosshair

nor i herin

6:47 pm

crosshair

i think the copyright laws must change and the way we sell/ship and transmit media

6:47 pm

herinfernallady

Considering this one site that got shut down by the FBI is a file sharing website with legit uses like sharing a personal folio with others.

6:47 pm

crosshair

we are on a brave new frontier with the computer and we must change/adapt

6:47 pm

herinfernallady

To me I have to quote someone in the paper as saying

6:48 pm

crosshair

much of what is available in the states (hulu) is blocked to us

6:48 pm

herinfernallady

'it is like banning mobile phones because terrorist use them.

6:48 pm

crosshair

indeed herin

6:48 pm

westford

my granddaughters wouldn't be able to talk

6:49 pm

crosshair

we would lose,hulu(we already lost that) wikpedia,you tube and many others

6:49 pm

jillibus

my son is besotted with his iPhone

6:49 pm

westford

the idea of sitting next to a device that is tethered to the wall would drive them crazy

6:50 pm

crosshair

crossy loves his asus transformer tablet:))

6:50 pm

jillibus

and he's no teenager

6:50 pm

westford

I think it's a man thing jilli ..husband and son are the same way

6:50 pm

herinfernallady

The other thing as well is when Australia is on Parity with the USA we still get screwed in video games and online content so I can honestly see why people do what they do even though it isn't right.

6:50 pm

jillibus

I've been told to wait for iPad3

6:51 pm

crosshair

we get screwed as well herin

6:51 pm

jillibus

we in Canada get screwed with cell phone rates.

6:51 pm

crosshair

snap

6:51 pm

westford

we may get one for my mother

6:52 pm

crosshair

if your not of the planet U.S.A you get reamed

6:52 pm

westford

but we're nice for the most part crossy

6:52 pm

crosshair

you are indeed just not your internet service providers

6:52 pm

jillibus

well, it's our own phone companies which are doing the screwing

6:53 pm

crosshair

it is indeed jilli

6:53 pm

herinfernallady

Ipad 3 can they please have flash and usb

6:53 pm

crosshair

asus cause it has flash,usb,micro usb,and mouse support

6:53 pm

westford

it really is too bad there isn't just a univeral isp

6:54 pm

crosshair

6:54 pm

jillibus

I believe that's the intent, herin -- certainly LED flash

6:54 pm

jillibus

hmmm -- sounds good, crossy

6:54 pm

jillibus

6:54 pm

westford

Think the other half wants a toshiba because he is a clutz

7:01 pm

crosshair

and it DOES get 16 hours of run time when docked

7:01 pm

herinfernallady

And i can see real value in an ereader for him because his books cost so much with his roll playing and then they just change them any way

7:02 pm

crosshair

we can get google books now herin

7:02 pm

crosshair

the U.s has allowed us goggle books

7:03 pm

crosshair

it is more our archaic laws than theirs
