Mom

hi Hurshy

7:55 am

hurshy

hi

7:55 am

medusa

yes. i like the cold

7:56 am

medusa

got it

7:56 am

hurshy

i would rather not be hot, if i had the choice i'd pick cold, but that's not the same as hating sunshine - there's sun in the winter

7:56 am

rubyfoo

you are lucky, medusa

7:56 am

rubyfoo

as I get older, I mind the heat less and less and the cold more and more, especially with all this rain and humidity

7:57 am

hurshy

i believe that is the usual pattern when aging - hence florida.

7:57 am

rubyfoo

this is our only miserable spring in 15 years!

7:57 am

rubyfoo

we lived in Miami before here, but this is better

7:58 am

dcseain

i live in a land where meaningful cold is rare, happily.

7:59 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! klingon serving aboard USS Enterprise D.

7:59 am

dcseain

It was interesting when i lived in Boston, which does Winter the way DC does Summer.

8:00 am

dcseain

Worf. already tried it :)

8:00 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

8:00 am

hurshy

(that's why we HAVE name that proper noun)

8:20 am

hurshy

who gets a phone call saying that you'll get a free cruise in the bahamas for 2, in exchange for participating in a 30 second political survey, and doesn't hang up?

8:21 am

Anniebrook

hang up immediately!

8:21 am

hurshy

yes i know, i'm just wondering why they bother - what good does it do when it's that obvious that everyone hangs up?

8:22 am

medusa

wtg annie

8:22 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, not everyone hangs up...they want that cruise and do not consider the consequences

8:23 am

medusa

i would hang up!

8:23 am

hurshy

i don't know how anyone is that dumb.

8:23 am

Anniebrook

I am so leery of odd phone calls that if I do not recoginize the # I dont answer

8:23 am

Anniebrook

they are not so dumb as they are greedy

8:24 am

Anniebrook

something for nothing is nothing

8:24 am

hurshy

but i would think that if you are greedy, you would know that outside of Oprah, nobody can afford to give away cruises like that.

8:25 am

hurshy

you would expect other people to be also greedy not super-generous.

8:25 am

Anniebrook

all of that is true but there will always be gullible people

8:26 am

Anniebrook

richard branson comes to mind...he can afford to give away a cruise

8:27 am

hurshy

but would he? to everyone who answers a short survey? that's crazy!

8:27 am

Anniebrook

yes, it is crazy

8:28 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, do you know who was calling?

8:28 am

hurshy

no, just robolady

8:28 am

hurshy

i'm at work, anyway, so i don't particularly care.

8:29 am

Anniebrook

they called a work number..dont they know it is Yale? Sounds odd.

8:29 am

hurshy

how can you be farseeing if you can't farsee?

8:30 am

Anniebrook

but you can farsi (lousy joke)

8:30 am

hurshy

har har

8:30 am

Anniebrook

anyway, anyone like a clue before I start out?

it's sunny here today. Was supposed to be raining the last three days and it has been increasingly balmy. Would be nice if it stayed like this for a little while, but I suspect as soon as I have a day off again it will be too wet to work outside. How's the weather down south, ruru?

10:03 am

rururocks

warm and windy

10:05 am

MollyL

I don't have much of a memory capacity for words that are not in my language. If I'm not using the word I don't seem to be able to retain it. Maybe that is why I'm not very good at Babble.

7:38 pm

I'm going to put dinner on the table a little early today. We had the plumber over all morning and the clean up has taken the starch out of both my husband and myself. Murphy is doing very well. He continues to try to please and we are so happy he is such an aware puppy. He notices.

Well, like the lovely man at driver's licensing told me when I complained at my last picture: no one notices because they are so taken by your lovely eyes! (true, he said that, and it also applies to you)

my battery was swelling with age and caused my track pad to stick

8:44 pm

westford

I thought it was pretty funny too (joke)

8:44 pm

uusue2

oh, that sounds like it could have been dangerous, west! good you got it fixed!

8:45 pm

MollyL

Ugh, "swelling with age" is such a dismal phrase.

8:45 pm

westford

sure does

8:45 pm

MollyL

However, "shrinking with age" is equally as dismal.
: P

8:46 pm

stidmama

oh, that's not a good thing, west. my mac has been losing battery life pretty fast, but I used it so much while I was in school that I am not surprised. Trying to decide if I sell it and replace it with a newer version, replace the battery, or bequeath this to one of the kids and just use Tom's computer at home for the time being. So far the battery isn't doing anything dangerous.

8:47 pm

westford

stid I love my powerbook..and the battery was still good but apparently it was bad engineering to put it right there

8:48 pm

stidmama

there is a lot that can go wrong with laptops, for sure. Limited space to put so many heat-generating elements.
