we have a signed offer for our old house... now we just have to see what happens with the inspection (makes me a little nervous)
1:18 am
rururocks
oh great.. you have the new one all set now?
1:19 am
VolleymomDee
yep cept a small part of storage area in basement - we'll probably wait til fall to go through that area - mostly books and seasonal decorations, photos, and that kind of stuff
1:19 am
VolleymomDee
a good indoors project, but rest of house and garage are all unpacked
1:20 am
rururocks
don't you hate moving thought
1:20 am
rururocks
I'm never moving again... I"m dying in this house
1:20 am
VolleymomDee
1st move in my adult life - we lived in same house for 34 years... yes, I hated packing and unpacking
1:21 am
VolleymomDee
I completely understand that feeling... corny, but I thank God daily for no stairs... hopefully they will wheel me out of here
1:21 am
rururocks
when I was young .. I moved so many times it was ridiculous
1:21 am
rururocks
nevah again
1:21 am
VolleymomDee
no wonder you hate it... never have been fond of the idea... we moved 2 times before we moved into our old house
1:22 am
VolleymomDee
never say never...
1:22 am
rururocks
god.. I've moved no less than 15 times in my life
1:22 am
rururocks
maybe more than that
1:22 am
VolleymomDee
have a friend that has moved over 20 times... really crazy
1:23 am
VolleymomDee
not my cup of tea for sure
1:23 am
VolleymomDee
it was odd moving here though... all our "stuff" just fit... very strange
1:23 am
rururocks
it's always been hard to do.. but now at this stage of my life.. no thanks
1:23 am
rururocks
it was meant to be dee
1:24 am
VolleymomDee
I think this move wrecked one of my lumbar discs... still having issues... praying I won't have to have surgery of some kind... I really think so, ru...
1:24 am
negativeneil
Ugh. Back again... I think.
1:24 am
negativeneil
Maybe it means you're where you're meant to be, Dee.
1:24 am
negativeneil
The stuff just fitting I mean.
1:25 am
negativeneil
Oh nm. ru said that. :P
1:25 am
rururocks
ouch.. you shouldn't have done any lifting dee
1:25 am
VolleymomDee
for sure, neil, for sure... details on this house fell into place too smoothly, and the move went exceptionally smooth, and our stuff and colors all fit..
1:25 am
rururocks
pretty soon you'll start punning neil
1:25 am
VolleymomDee
I know, it was dumb... thought I was 25... picked up a box, twisted, and knew I was in trouble
1:26 am
rururocks
<---painfully aware I'm not 25 anymore
1:27 am
VolleymomDee
something else cool... we always had blue heron at old house... not usually around here, and we have seen one 8 different times here... was stunned when he landed in the back yard
1:27 am
VolleymomDee
how's your knee doing now ru
1:27 am
rururocks
we have a blue heron at our pond too dee
1:27 am
rururocks
knee sucks
1:28 am
rururocks
I have to give up praying at church :)
1:28 am
VolleymomDee
They are absolutely amazing. I love watching them.
1:28 am
VolleymomDee
Did I tell you hubby is going to have to have his right knee replaced (eventually)? He is bone on bone... cortisone has removed pain, but it will be inevitable.
1:29 am
VolleymomDee
He thought it was a torn meniscus, so he was shocked and not very happy about it.
1:29 am
rururocks
oh.. geez. that's where I am.. but avoiding the cortisone shots
1:30 am
VolleymomDee
He abhors shots, but they did it before he could think about it... said pain reduced immediately and within 3 days had no pain at all. They told him they can do them every 3 months, until that doesn't hold, then he'll need surgery.
1:31 am
rururocks
oh. man.. I'm sure he's not happy about it
1:31 am
VolleymomDee
He said he could not believe the immediate relief.
1:31 am
VolleymomDee
Definitely not... said it was probably caused from playing basketball and working in construction 100 years ago :)
1:31 am
rururocks
but it softens the bones
1:32 am
rururocks
tennis killed me
1:32 am
rururocks
I am such an idiot.. but I loved playing.. I played too much
1:32 am
VolleymomDee
so what... if a replacement has to be done later, it really won't matter
1:33 am
VolleymomDee
tennis does destroy knees unfortunately
1:33 am
negativeneil
Wow. I didn't know that.
1:33 am
rururocks
yeah.. I think so.. I'm stalling.. I haven't found my big black nurse yet..lol
1:33 am
negativeneil
But I guess it makes sense.
1:34 am
VolleymomDee
LOL his shot giver was a scrawny PA... did it lickety split... count of 4 and it was over
1:35 am
VolleymomDee
said he didn't have a chance to even think about it, and he was astounded at the difference ru... no reason to be in horrific pain... he isn't even limping now... (not sure how long it will last, but at least for now he can do what he wants)
1:36 am
rururocks
usually 3-4 to if you're lucky 6 months
1:37 am
VolleymomDee
fingers crossed for that
1:37 am
rururocks
i'm stuck.. damn it
1:38 am
VolleymomDee
They would like to be able to hold him off til he's 60 + (since the knees do have a "life")
1:38 am
VolleymomDee
what letter?
1:38 am
rururocks
yes.. that's what I heard too.. the knees only last so long
1:39 am
rururocks
and you certainly don't want to repeat the surgery when you're 80 +
1:39 am
VolleymomDee
used to be you could only have one knee replacement, but now the research says two per lifetime
1:41 am
VolleymomDee
plus this will be a cheaper solution for awhile... we have a HUGE deductible, so it would be nice to postpone it for awhile
1:41 am
rururocks
i'm afraid to figure out what it's going to cost me
1:42 am
rururocks
I just had a bone scan and mri and insurance only picked up a little I had to shell out $4 K
1:42 am
rururocks
insurance $1,700 .... ru $4,300
1:42 am
VolleymomDee
that really sucks
1:42 am
rururocks
I'm afraid to guess what the surgery costs will be
1:44 am
negativeneil
Ouch, ru. :(
1:44 am
negativeneil
That's ridiculous just for 2 scans?
1:44 am
VolleymomDee
When he had his meniscal surg, we didn't pay much at all for actual surg... just for some of the testing (like you mentioned)... I think our ded is $5,000 or $6,000
1:45 am
VolleymomDee
MRI's are exorbitant
1:46 am
rururocks
yes.. they are ridiculous
1:46 am
rururocks
yep neil about and hour and a half..
1:48 am
rururocks
$7 K later.. Doctor.. "Well.. your knee is a mess and you need surgery.. Ru "" I could have told you that and saved $7K
1:48 am
VolleymomDee
that's no lie...
1:49 am
rururocks
are the a's all weird?
1:50 am
VolleymomDee
the ab's are... ab 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4... one strange aw 6 rest pretty normal
1:50 am
rururocks
screw it.. I need to list I guess
1:51 am
VolleymomDee
I did, but my brain was "fuzzy" tonight lol
1:51 am
rururocks
<---always fuzzy
1:52 am
VolleymomDee
lol naw... you couldn't pun so quickly if that were true
1:54 am
rururocks
tell your hubby best of luck for him
1:54 am
VolleymomDee
ty, ru, and you, too
1:55 am
VolleymomDee
Well, I need to get some rest... rain came today, so hopefully won't be so sore tomorrow.
1:55 am
rururocks
yeah.. I"m going to bed too..I've had it

JBV

7:02 am
JBV
yours is very beautiful too, Molly - how did you do that?

MollyL
A little cut and paste with the Paint program. I'm trying to smile today, remembering Jesse. Because that is what he was about, making people smile. And he was so good at it. : )
7:12 am
JBV
oh, Paint - i'd probably need a tutorial - haven't done anything with that in a long time
7:12 am
JBV
and yes, we will laugh again today remembering all the hilarious days with him
7:16 am
MollyL
He was amazing, the way he could see the good in life, even when people were unkind to him. That is a lesson I am still learning.
7:22 am
periwinkle
I changed my icon. did it go through?
7:23 am
JBV
Hi peri, still seeing a purple balloon
7:23 am
periwinkle

7:23 am

very true Molly.
7:23 am
JBV
can't wait to see it peri
7:23 am
periwinkle
I refreshed and I see it
7:24 am

I also found a neat sign that said "oh, cabana boy" and had a picture of a drink on it. but thought this would be better
7:24 am
periwinkle
Molly I really enjoyed the evening yesterday. Wolfgang Puck was there!!
7:25 am

So, wine and failing at babble :)
7:45 am
girlie
yest should be a word
7:45 am
lynxxx
know what you mean - but I think it is not so much the wine as it is a hard grid
7:47 am
girlie
Its an icky centre. Full of vowels and vapid consonants.
7:51 am
girlie
But maybe its the wine ...
7:51 am
lynxxx
the Y is very useful - and I wouldn't mind betting it is in most of my many missing words
7:54 am

The currently standing Y Bridge in Zanesville, Ohio is the 3rd in my lifetime, and the 6th in the memory of my granddad, speaking of broken bridges.
8:20 am
lynxxx
change car to horse & cart then
8:20 am
dcseain
breezing through, you can Google the Y bridge if you'd like -- it's rather cool. It carries US 40 and Main St, which diverge mid-bridge.

9:21 am
rastapopolous
Oh, no, I see how you did it. nm
9:21 am

Nah. You can spell it with one R. Either way, it's not accepted.

Jesse (NB) was a very sweet young man who babbled with us while he was here, he unfortunately was bitten by a mosquito while in Korea visiting his family and came down with Malaria - his partner even donated part of a kidney to help him but, unfortunately he died
12:52 pm
hego
ba7 is where you go to drink booze
12:52 pm
crosshair
sigh..i was born too late.i fancy the idea of being the keeper of the light,guiding my seafaring brother to safty on a stormy night,my pipe clamped in my teeth as i stand on the top railing of the lighthouse,my beacon of safety winkingover my shoulder as i train my trusty telescope into the storm..

I'll lift a glass to him, too. (Negative)Neil tells me that Jesse is the same Jesse that I very vaguely knew from a big nightclub in Soho, where he tended bar. Small, small world.

HI all! Why are we drinking? Not that I need an excuse...

R5s glass to clink w/all in memory of NB. What a sweetheart.
2:00 pm
andrew in drag
I was so shocked, Lilliann - I won't pretend that I knew him very well, or anything; he was really just an acquaintance. I only found out recently, though. Shocking. He seemed like such a lovely boy.
2:00 pm
ChampFit
I should stop being surprised about small world stuff, but I can't. Just amazing!
2:00 pm
lilliann
neither do i champ, i actually am raising a glass of wine, but it is nearly 8pm here
2:00 pm
ChampFit
It's only 2p here, so it's fizzy water at the moment.
2:03 pm
lilliann
he was andrew....he was funny, truthful and an all round nice person...he wasn't bitchy..he was just him. i'm glad i met him on here.if only the world had more nice people like him,we'd have a better place
2:03 pm
hokie carla
3 pm or not, I could use a drink now after having to deal with a govt agency.
2:03 pm
andrew in drag
And since the plan was to share stories of him, I'll tell you mine:
I was in the club where he worked, and he was really busy, doing drinks, when this %£(@~ of a man started harrassing me for how I was dressed, since he figured out I was male. I remember Jesse turned around and said, "she's more of a man than you'll ever be, and more of a woman than you'll ever get." And I always remembered him for that. I thought it was lovely.
2:04 pm
MollyL
I agree Lilliann. It's a shame we don't have more people like Jesse around.
2:04 pm
hokie carla
I don't think I know who you're talking about, but I'll raise a glass.
2:04 pm
lilliann
i've also got a glass of fizzy water as i keep getting hot flushes when i have a zip of wine..lol
2:04 pm

Great story Andrew. That sounds just like Jesse. : )

Ha Lilliann! ;) May have to open a brewski in a bit. Great story Andrew!

thank you, JBV :) I wish I had known him better.
2:19 pm
andrew in drag
oops, my grandmother is calling...bye, all!
2:19 pm
JBV
well I think it's comforting for all of us who knew him to see how his tragically brief live has given us so many lessons in how real human beings should be
2:20 pm
andrew in drag
(hear hear!)
2:21 pm
ChampFit
When people pass, I like to think that now they're happy, and comfortable. Whatever might have bothered them here on earth is over and done with. It's all good now!

He must have had about a dozen (or more) Moms and Dads here who loved him like a son - I was one of them
2:21 pm

2:22 pm
lilliann
he'll be getting everyone babbling up in heaven...i can see it now :)

You're probably right lillian! I wonder if everyone finishes every grid in heaven? How great would that be!??
2:23 pm
flosey
just reading back, Andrew, what a lovely memory to have of dear Jesse. He was such a sweet and caring person
2:25 pm
lilliann
probably not champ as not everyone finishes here but it would be good to think they are babbling too :)
2:25 pm
MollyL
Champ, Jesse's partner, Frank, said much the same thing on Babanon. Frank posted this: I hope those of you that loved him can take solace in the fact
that he is now free from the pain of his illness, as well as the
influence of those who caused him such damage in his life.
Though neither of us were religious people,
I am sure a soul as pure and kind as his will have
gone on to a better place.
2:27 pm
ChampFit
I remember. It's a comforting thing. Frank must be just as awesome as NB was.
2:29 pm

NB and Frank obviously deserved eachother....my heart and thoughts go out to Frank

4:43 pm
magazinemom
hi jmc and all!
4:43 pm
jmcnrick
intermittent but fierce when it is on
4:43 pm
lilliann
i hope you are safe jmc
4:44 pm
MollyL
JMC, I think someone needs to give Topper a drink. (Topper is our local weather guy)
4:44 pm
magazinemom
hi lilli
4:44 pm
jmcnrick
i am on the highest point in the district but there are lots of towers to take the lightning
4:44 pm
magazinemom
Is he excited, Molly?
4:44 pm
jmcnrick
poor topper are they making him go outside again?
4:44 pm
MollyL
Not a good night for the rooftop deck.
4:45 pm
MollyL
No Mag, he's been worried as hell about tornadoes.
4:45 pm
magazinemom
We used to have a weather guy we called "chicken little" because every time it stormed he acted like the sky was falling.
4:45 pm
magazinemom
Saw that y'all were getting nasty weather in that area
4:45 pm
jmcnrick
i think i would prefer a tornado over a wind sheer that they are also predicting. . . at least tornadoes skip some spots
4:46 pm
jmcnrick
i think topper is his actual name
4:46 pm
magazinemom
Oh my!
4:46 pm
magazinemom
stay safe!
4:46 pm
jmcnrick
i am waiting for them to call the game tonight because of the weather
4:46 pm
MollyL
I have grave concerns about a Bradford Pear tree out back that the condo people have not kept properly pruned.
4:47 pm
magazinemom
I've lost more shingles and trees to downbursts and shears than tornadoes.
4:48 pm
jmcnrick
yes when I was driving back from picking strawberries my sister and I saw a very pretty huge complete dead tree in the medium near gaithersburg
4:49 pm
MollyL
I know where that is.
4:49 pm
lilliann
i hope all in harms way keep safe and your families
4:49 pm
jmcnrick
we commented that it was beautiful but we hoped they took it down before it took someone out
4:50 pm
lilliann
could it fall on your house molly?
4:50 pm
jmcnrick
i am okay as long as the tower next to me stands. . .if it falls i am screwed
4:51 pm
magazinemom
On Tuesday we had a cell phone tower completely bent and twisted by just wind. Hope your tower remains standing jmc!
4:51 pm
MollyL
No Lilliann, what that tree will do is split in different directions, as it is branch heavy. None of those directions will do my place any damage. I will just be sad because it is "my tree".
4:51 pm
lilliann
omg jmc...is there no where else you could go until it's over where it is safe?
4:51 pm
jmcnrick
it is the fox news tower. . . it is lord knows how tall
4:52 pm
jmcnrick
although if it crushed my house i will sue the pants off of fox with some glee
4:52 pm
jmcnrick
*giggles*
4:52 pm
MollyL
God bless all the people attempting a rush hour commute in this mess.
4:53 pm
jmcnrick
my roommate walked to work but i told her to call me when she gets off so i can go pick her up. . . its only 5 blocks but in this weather. . . .
4:53 pm
jmcnrick

4:53 pm
magazinemom
well if it's the fox new tower, let it fall-- just not in your direction. haha
4:53 pm
lilliann
ok molly, so i take it, it grows into someone elses garden and they don't prune their side?
4:54 pm
MollyL
No Lilliann, I live in a condo and the condo association doesn't prune it.

5:55 pm
lilliann
that's why i make my own cards :0
5:56 pm
MollyL
Poor Lilliann. He should get you a card once in a while. Showing you what he "would have bought you" doesn't count.
5:57 pm
lbdawger
64 remaining, but go heat up dinner. bbl to finish.
5:57 pm
jmcnrick
they still haven't called the game but told the fans in the stadium to take shelter. . . nuts nats!
5:58 pm
lilliann
that's him molly,that's his sense of humour, and i now know him for it and love him for it...if he now bought me flowers or a card i'd be really suspicious!!
5:58 pm
MollyL
That is nuts, considering we have round two of storms yet to come.
5:59 pm
jmcnrick
haha lillian it is good to love them the way they are!
5:59 pm
lilliann
he has bought me flowers in the past when i was in hospital before we got married
6:01 pm
jmcnrick
you're right. . . if he brought you flowers now you'd have to wonder if he got told you only had weeks to live. . .
6:02 pm
MollyL
One of my girlfriends has a husband like that. The rest of the women in our circle buy her flowers and nice things to pick up his slack. Women treat women better than men treat women.
6:02 pm

6:03 pm
jmcnrick
it is a metal bowl in which you can build a fire to keep you warm on chilly pretty nights on the patio.
6:04 pm
lilliann
i wouldm't think of that jnc, as he would tell; me out right...i would think he was cheating, but to be quite honest if he was cheating he wouldn't buy them flowers, he's buy them a drink! :)

7:31 pm
lilliann
it would have been easier if i'd just said it ends the same as the mo8 :)
7:32 pm
uusue2
ah, got it, thanks! (I believe it refers to frost, or possibly age)
7:35 pm
lilliann
apparently it'sgrey ot white with age as in an old og or grizzly bear...now i've learnt something new but i'll forget by tomorrow as my memory sucks!
7:37 pm

lbdawger
tadone! finito! hi everyone!
7:40 pm
lilliann
my daughter would love your icon but as i'veread it is now adopted?
7:40 pm
uusue2
hi, jes! We are trying to feed the little cat separately from the big one - so far the big one hasn't eaten the little one's food, although the little one hasn't eaten it either
7:40 pm
lilliann
yay!!wtg lbd!!
7:40 pm
uusue2
yay lbd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7:42 pm
lbdawger
wow, Smart Off is looking really good, Jes
7:43 pm
jesdraggon
heh. well, it's a start, sue :)
7:43 pm
jesdraggon
yay dawg!
7:44 pm
jesdraggon
yeah, smarty's doing well - now if only his foot heals up and he comes back sound, he might be adoptable.
7:44 pm
lilliann
is that the hoese in your icon jes?
7:45 pm
jesdraggon
yes lilliann. rescued him and 2 others (who've since been adopted) last december.
7:46 pm
lilliann
do you have him now and how long will the recovery take?
7:47 pm
jesdraggon
yes, i still have him. I don't know - that's the problem. I don't know if he will ever be sound.
7:47 pm
lbdawger
he looks like he'd make a good pet, if not a riding companion, Jes. I hope he heals up real good, and finds a great family to love him.
7:47 pm
jesdraggon
he's pretty - a good pasture ornament if nothing else :)
7:48 pm
jesdraggon
but pasture ornaments are difficult to adopt out.
7:48 pm
lilliann
aww, bless him. if we live in the U.S and near to you my bairn would help you every day and want him as her own
7:51 pm
uusue2
ha, finally passed half way!
7:52 pm
lilliann
i really hope he recovers jes.he deserves a good life!
7:52 pm
lilliann
yay sue!
7:52 pm
jesdraggon
yay sue!
7:52 pm
uusue2
and what lilli said - I hope you find someone who needs (or wants) a pasture ornament :-)
7:52 pm
jesdraggon
yep, hoping that too, lilliann
7:53 pm
lilliann
pasture ornament?? is that a horse just left in a field?
7:57 pm
Good Enough
just listed and it's really not helping me at all.
7:59 pm
lilliann
it's this grid good,it's not good!! :)
8:00 pm
jesdraggon
yes, just stands around making the field look prettier.
8:00 pm
Good Enough
maybe i need to come back with a fresh eye later.
8:00 pm
Good Enough
or maybe i need a drink?
8:00 pm
lilliann
i think so good :0
8:02 pm
lilliann
have a glassof wine or something stronger good and you may be alright :)
8:03 pm
lilliann
do they get human contact jes or do they end up being like wild horses...as in do they get ridden or walked around or humans feeding them by hand?
8:11 pm
lilliann
i like that the horses get adopted but i hate that thet are called "pasture ornaments". so do they just run around wild in the fields?
8:11 pm
jesdraggon
well right now i don't have time to do anything with them. they aren't feral though. i can't take much credit for smarty's manners, as he was trained before i brought him home.
8:13 pm
jesdraggon
it's a joke, lilliann. one of my pasture ornaments is the pony i've had since i was 11. he's not unloved, just not getting ridden any more.
8:16 pm
lilliann
i think you're doing a great job jes as you're busy with so many animals and i take my hat off to you, but i didn't like the word ornament, we grow up in the uk with our elders putting ornaments on their fire places and shelves which are made of china or glass
8:17 pm
lilliann
actually, not justelsers, we all do it
8:20 pm
jesdraggon
well, I guess you're entitled to not like it, but the word isn't an insult. it's an accurate, if joking, assessment. the pony is old, he's not getting used for anything, but he's pretty. I have a sentimental attachment to him. How is that not an ornament? if I didn't care about him, I'd either euthanize him or send him to auction. Instead I continue to indefinitely feed a horse that isn't capable of work. That's what a pasture ornament is, and what everyone I've ever heard use the phrase means by it.
8:20 pm
lilliann
aww bless, what is his name jes and how old is he now? i was'nt having a go by the way
8:22 pm
jesdraggon
Injun Jo and he's 32
8:22 pm
lilliann
i've just never heard it here,but i wasn'thaving a go atyou, at the end of the day youlove your horses and all the others you take care of.xx
8:24 pm
lilliann
good name and a good old age..well, looked after. he's had a good owner :)
8:25 pm
