12:50 am

VolleymomDee

yes and no...basement is very cool; main floor was doing well till 6/21 - broke; they replaced a capacitor and we thot all was well, but today it seemed to be struggling... not sure if due to extreme temp of 107 or if something else is goofy; repairman only hear about 20 min, so not sure he fully checked a/c... we'll see in a day or too

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

we have 13 ft ceilings, which isn't helpful in extreme heat

1:23 am

dart001

hey stid LTNS !!

1:23 am

It's a small easy grid, Rose... good thing. :)

1:24 am

stidmama

ah jill -- those were the days, when you were young and the world was your oyster... I remember cars like that when I was that age, too!

1:24 am

rururocks

4, 5, 7

1:25 am

grannyrose

1:25 am

negativeneil

You can Babble! What more do you need? ;)

1:25 am

rururocks

well granny you are on drugs too

1:25 am

negativeneil

Yeah dart... people actually had to get off the couch and walk over to change channels on the TV.

1:25 am

jillibus

We had to have blankets in that car. No turn indicators either, and of course no automatic transmission.

1:25 am

stidmama

I remember walking a mile to and from school on occasion...

1:26 am

dart001

more exercise then neil lol

1:26 am

grannyrose

IT guy here was quite sympathetic when i rang him from my room. i must have sounded really pathetic. he's hooked me into the network, no charge.

1:26 am

negativeneil

Haha dart... was just gonna say that!

1:26 am

negativeneil

How nice of him Rose. :)

1:26 am

Glantarell

I walked 2 miles to school and the same home every day through senior school

1:27 am

Glantarell

whop

1:27 am

jillibus

So glad, granny, that you're astounding all with your progress. When do you go home?

1:27 am

dart001

1:27 am

stidmama

1:27 am

grannyrose

1:27 am

stidmama

Barbed-wire shoes? Huh.

1:27 am

grannyrose

jilli, hope to go home next monday/tuesday

1:28 am

Glantarell

definitely through lots of snow in Nov 73 when princess Anne got married

1:28 am

grannyrose

yeah, neil, to stop slipping in the snow

1:28 am

negativeneil

Oh wow, Rose... that's great. :)

1:28 am

Glantarell

remember it well LOL

1:28 am

jillibus

Wonderful, granny. And now I must really *poof...

1:29 am

dart001

nite jilli

1:29 am

grannyrose

night, jilli. sleep well, hun

1:29 am

stidmama

I don't remember that royal wedding, but will never forget the one in 1981

1:29 am

Glantarell

I went in trousers because it was so cold and they sent me home because i wasn't in proper uniform (skirt)

1:29 am

Glantarell

night jilli

1:29 am

stidmama

sweet dreams again jill!

1:29 am

Glantarell

the 1981 wedding was spectacular

1:32 am

stidmama

we got up to watch it on TV. I was so excited, I clipped and saved so many articles about it, and dreamed about all the interesting things that were going on.

1:34 am

Glantarell

she was beautiful - and so was the dress (although a bit fussy for my taste)

1:35 am

stidmama

It was a time of ruffles and lace, though -- and compared to some of the garments she might have chosen it was lovely. It seemed to suit her well.

1:35 am

Glantarell

yes, shame the whole thing led to such sadness

1:35 am

rururocks

are you talking about Diana

1:35 am

stidmama

She was only a few years older than me, but it felt like she lived in a completely different time and universe

1:35 am

stidmama

yes ruru

1:35 am

Glantarell

yes, Diana

1:36 am

rururocks

oh.. she seemed to be a lovely person.. I don't think I have ever forgiven Charles

1:36 am

Glantarell

don't think i have either

1:36 am

rururocks

not that he cares a whit

1:37 am

stidmama

unfortunately the world they live in uses people like that -- or did. I really hope that things are changing and that the new generation will have better and happier matches.

1:39 am

rururocks

not fond of Camilla either

1:40 am

rururocks

I have to say I like the boys and am warming up to the queen.

1:40 am

stidmama

okay,I am down to 24 and it's very late here. I think I will turn in.

1:41 am

rururocks

i'm stuck at 14

1:41 am

stidmama

I think that they have unfortunate lives... but I really admire Charles' commitment to better the earth. He really seems to take an interest in making the land healthy, and helping people take charge of how they interact with the environment. I know there are lots of problems everywhere, but at least he has something (other than polo) that he is passionate about.

1:45 am

stidmama

anyway... I don't know how I would feel if that family were even nominally in a position of authority over me. The relationship of constitutional monarch to the people doesn't completely make sense to me, other than that the queen is a beautiful example of a person who does her duty and cares for the people of her country. She seems to clarify and focus the concerns of the people at moments of crisis, and that is something our country seems to lack: a coherent, cohesive, constant symbol of unity.

1:45 am

dart001

agreed stid

1:45 am

stidmama

and with that bit of alliteration, I think I should retire. good night all, and have a lovely Friday! *poof*

1:45 am

dart001

bye stid

1:46 am

1:56 am

negativeneil

And I'm going by a woman who was our neighbor in San ?Diego, ru... she had it done a few years ago after being pretty much crippled with bad knees. She could go up and downstairs like anyone else and even run for the bus after she healed from that surgery. Big difference.

1:56 am

negativeneil

Wow, how cool is that Rose? No wonder you're doing so well. :)

1:57 am

negativeneil

Uneaixoise

me either, ruby!! the end of my stellar math career!

6:23 am

rubyfoo

and I'm old!

6:23 am

Uneaixoise

loved algebra and trig . . .

6:24 am

Uneaixoise

ruby, the dog photos are just stunning!!

6:24 am

rubyfoo

very funny, une. Calculus was like Greek to me

6:24 am

rubyfoo

same, here

6:24 am

rubyfoo

they're a little bit blurry, but almost like a movie. The dogs are stellar

6:24 am

Uneaixoise

switched from math major to French LOL

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I switched to art

6:25 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

6:25 am

rubyfoo

calculus was a nightmare

6:25 am

Uneaixoise

horrible

6:25 am

doseffing

... but it was the french mathematicians who laid all the ground work for the fundamentals of calculus ...

6:25 am

Uneaixoise

still didn't get it, even after tutoring ;_(

6:25 am

rubyfoo

and required at my university; I needed a tutor to get a D!

6:25 am

doseffing

... but I know it can be hard to pick up

6:25 am

rubyfoo

pfui on the French

6:25 am

Uneaixoise

ruby, ME TOO!!

6:26 am

rubyfoo

that is too funny, une

6:26 am

Uneaixoise

i had never gotten a bad grade in my whole life until calculus!!

6:26 am

rubyfoo

the Fr don't even know whether to pass on the right or left, as pedestrians

6:26 am

rubyfoo

me too, une, are we twins?

6:26 am

Uneaixoise

I had even gone to a math summer camp one year LOL

6:26 am

Uneaixoise

hee hee

6:26 am

doseffing

... my inexpert opinion is one of the problems is until calculus all the stuff is either about "discrete" numbers ... i.e. counting ... or is taught like it is ... so when you get the idea of "continuity" which is what calculus requires none of the stuff you've already learned seems to apply

6:27 am

rubyfoo

my high school math teacher had high hopes for me but was decu!

6:27 am

Uneaixoise

my high school math teacher never knew of my calculus debacle LOL

6:27 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure you're right, dose, does "counterintuitive" apply?

6:28 am

sheila48

Ho7,44 Hint please

6:28 am

rubyfoo

I saw mine, 3 yrs later and he was very disappointed

6:28 am

doseffing

... high school math teachers are always living in the dream that one of their students will be the genius who does all the brilliant math things that they were never able to do

6:28 am

rubyfoo

where did you go to university, une?

6:28 am

Uneaixoise

dos, that's right -- i remember being baffled by my daughter's AP math classes where they actually APPLIED math LOL

6:28 am

rubyfoo

hi sheila

6:28 am

Uneaixoise

ho7 druggie

6:29 am

rubyfoo

ty for the ho7!

6:29 am

Uneaixoise

went to Southwestern at Memphis, which is now Rhodes College, small private school

6:29 am

rubyfoo

<-- didn't know math could be app*****

6:29 am

doseffing

... AP math ... impressive

6:29 am

Uneaixoise

ooohhh, tx, ruby!

6:29 am

rubyfoo

much fancier than Queens College, I'm sure

6:29 am

doseffing

... it's all applied somewhere

6:29 am

MollyL

Who you callin' a ho druggie, Une? : P

6:30 am

rubyfoo

ho druggie is very old-fashioned, but very funny

6:30 am

Uneaixoise

my daughter's VERY smart -- did AP everything -- which was GREAT -- kept her challenged, which she was NOT before high school

6:30 am

Uneaixoise

molly LOL

6:31 am

rubyfoo

molly is not a ho druggie!!

6:31 am

Uneaixoise

Ruby, my mom's brother paid for my college education but I didn't know for YEARS -- he made it look like I had a scholarship :-)

6:31 am

rubyfoo

my son was a product of "new math", couldn't do simple arithmetic ins 5th grade!

6:31 am

Uneaixoise

Mother didn't know either . . .

6:31 am

rubyfoo

that is a nice story, une

6:31 am

MollyL

New math...what a joke

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

jeez, new math . . .

6:32 am

doseffing

... it's great that she was able to get the benefit of it ... I've seen lot's of kids completely lose confidence in their ability to learn anything because they could cope with AP

6:32 am

rubyfoo

it was a very bad experiment!

6:32 am

doseffing

... just missed it myself

6:32 am

doseffing

... just missed it myself

6:32 am

MollyL

I am convinced that I am "math warped" for life because of new math.

6:32 am

Uneaixoise

dos, t was GREAT -- and her AP teachers were just wonderful

6:33 am

Uneaixoise

*it

6:33 am

doseffing

... it was actually pretty good if you got started with it in high school ... but if you got caught in grade1 ... you were doomed

6:33 am

rubyfoo

my son, too, but fortunately, he taught himself computers when he was at university and has made a great career out of it

6:33 am

MollyL

<---Doomed

6:33 am

rubyfoo

however, I would be reluctant to give him a column of numbers to add.....

6:34 am

rubyfoo

molly is not doomed; she is wonderful and smart!!!

6:34 am

Uneaixoise

one of her AP teachers even took a vanload of her students (including my daughter) out to NM for a camping expedition -- history and anthropology

6:34 am

Uneaixoise

she was one of the US teachers of the year back in the '90s

6:35 am

Uneaixoise

ok, i'll stop!

6:35 am

rubyfoo

I was lucky, going through school in NYC before affirmative action. They could still "segregate" the good students

6:35 am

doseffing

... but she can't do new math ... ... but then neither can anyone else in the world ... so of course she's not doomed

6:35 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves une and she should never satop

6:35 am

rubyfoo

or even stop*

6:35 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!

6:36 am

MollyL

Thank God for my Dad, or I would still be wandering aimlessly, muttering about sets and subsets

6:36 am

doseffing

... but she should always make sure that she has a good calculator handy

6:36 am

rubyfoo

thank you, Molly's dad!

6:36 am

Uneaixoise

molly :-)

6:36 am

rubyfoo

calculators? what happened to pencil and paper? (said by a dinosaur)

6:37 am

MollyL

I'm convinced LSD had something to do with new math.

6:37 am

rubyfoo

raofl!

6:37 am

Uneaixoise

molly LOL

6:37 am

rubyfoo

you're probably right

6:37 am

doseffing

... The set theory is great stuff and makes the cyphering really understandable ... but you gotta be able to do the cyphering first ... not the set theory ... like they tried in the t0s

6:37 am

Uneaixoise

speaking of dinosaurs, tomorrow a friend is going with me to Verizon to swap my antique "dumb phone" for a smart phone -- wahoo!!

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I think, chez nout, we are the only people in the Haute Savoie (or even in France) without a cell phone\

6:38 am

rubyfoo

nous*

6:39 am

doseffing

... you're probably right ... I think France is like Norway where there are more cell phones in service than there are people in the country

6:39 am

rubyfoo

I shudder when even my dumb phone rings

6:39 am

rubyfoo

or like America, with more guns than people....

6:39 am

Uneaixoise

ruby LOL . . . growing up, my family was the last in town to get a color TV !!!

6:40 am

rubyfoo

we were the last to get a B&W TV!

6:40 am

Uneaixoise

ok, gotta run -- loved visiting with you boys and girls!! HAGD *poof*

6:40 am

rubyfoo

my son is very hi-tech; I am decidedly low....

6:40 am

rubyfoo

6:41 am

rubyfoo

me, too, nap and newspaper time....

6:41 am

doseffing

... colour tv! ... that's how I learned to stay at school for the weekend rather than come home ... ... could watch the Sunday football in colour in the residence lounge ... parents only had the black and white that I'd watched Howdy Doody on

6:41 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

6:41 am

MollyL

<---Still has a dumb phone. Doesn't need to carry around a computer.

6:43 am

doseffing

... yes ... probably best that I leave the final 11 for later ... ... barkeep! another good day for everyone! ... ... 'til later

9:20 am

rubyfoo

I am too old to learn this stuff!

9:20 am

hego

somewhere on your computer where you can access them

9:21 am

hego

Just like you upload your icon here.

9:21 am

rubyfoo

I will try again later

9:21 am

kje

never too old to learn, ruby!

9:21 am

hego

I mostly get stuff done by accident.

9:21 am

hego

fun

9:22 am

rubyfoo

easy to say, sue

9:23 am

rubyfoo

but I'll send you a diorama of the two dogs wrestling. It's a little bit blurry, but it's like one of those old "flip movies" and it's quite funny

9:23 am

rubyfoo

I think there's a photo of sprite and my husband at the end, but I'm not sure

9:23 am

uusue2

hi ruby, hego, kje!

9:23 am

hego

hi Sue

9:23 am

hego

ty Ruby

9:24 am

rubyfoo

{{sue}} I saw some nifty cotton/linen pants in the llbean catalogue, if you're still looking

9:24 am

rubyfoo

I like llbean because their petite pants are short enough and I don't have to take them up.

9:24 am

hego

are there any words in here?

9:25 am

rubyfoo

<-- very short

9:25 am

uusue2

oh, thanks, ruby, I found some on Blair (on sale for $20 with free shipping) so they are on their way - these are convertible cargo/crop pants, so should work

9:25 am

rubyfoo

what is Blair

9:25 am

hego

I should check those pants out.ty Ruby

9:25 am

uusue2

I am kind of short but regular petites usually work for me

9:26 am

rubyfoo

and I like elastic waists

9:26 am

hego

let's hear it for the petites. lol

9:26 am

uusue2

blair.com, has pretty inexpensive clothes and I have found that their pants usually fit me pretty well - often when I find things that fit my hips they are too big at the waist

9:26 am

rubyfoo

I tried buying "cropped" pants, figuring they'd be long enough NOT

9:26 am

kje

<---- tall

9:26 am

hego

let's hear it for the talls!!

9:27 am

uusue2

well, the cropped pants are short on me but they are nice in the heat

9:27 am

rubyfoo

I could tell, KJE! you speak with the authority of a tall person LOL

9:27 am

kje

lolol ruby

9:27 am

hego

cropped pants fit me perfectly as longs.

9:27 am

rubyfoo

I can't show my ankles because they're all bitten-up

9:27 am

uusue2

supposed to be in the 90s here for the foreseeable future, although the 100 degrees yesterday was too much

9:28 am

kje

I have a raspberry and blackberry crisp starting to smell good in the oven

9:28 am

kje

where are you sue?

9:28 am

uusue2

yum, kje!

9:28 am

rubyfoo

I guess I could take on a tall, blonde, young persona on line.....

9:28 am

hego

ap 7 anyone?

9:28 am

rubyfoo

hardly any raspberries this year

9:28 am

kje

ap7 - stick a sticker on a bumper, for example

9:29 am

kje

or mascara on lashes

9:29 am

kje

or lotion to a rash

9:29 am

rubyfoo

like the fruit but add a vowel toward the end

9:29 am

hego

oh gosh, ty

9:29 am

robwhy

he works hard...he really ap7 himself

9:29 am

hego

what great cluers!

9:29 am

rubyfoo

hi rob

9:30 am

robwhy

hi

9:30 am

rubyfoo

this is much better than real life

9:30 am

rubyfoo

but I still don't finish

9:30 am

hego

hahahaha

9:30 am

hego

so what

9:30 am

rubyfoo

exactly, hego!

9:31 am

robwhy

I'm stuck halfway already

9:31 am

kje

bbiam

9:31 am

uusue2

kje, I am in northern Illinois, about 60 miles west of Chicago

9:32 am

hego

the wandering uusue

9:33 am

rubyfoo

and sue is even normal!

9:33 am

uusue2

what?

9:33 am

hego

: )

9:33 am

rubyfoo

No. Illinois is perfect, near Chicago but not in it

9:33 am

hego

how dare you accuse her of normal

9:33 am

rubyfoo

Normal, Illinois, n'est-ce pas?

9:34 am

uusue2

ah. the home of our competition :-) Illinois State University is in Normal, I am in DeKalb

9:34 am

rubyfoo

So. Ill., on the other hand, was very hot and humid

9:34 am

rubyfoo

aaah, I was thinking you were at Normal mea culpa....

9:35 am

uusue2

no problem - they are about 2 hours south of here

9:35 am

rubyfoo

and the only big city was St. Louis, 2 hrs away

9:35 am

rubyfoo

ex- taught there

9:35 am

uusue2

it is nice being near Chicago - quite a world-class city!

9:36 am

uusue2

SIU Carbondale?

9:36 am

rubyfoo

if it had a better climate, everybody would live there

9:36 am

kje

berry crisp for breakfast - would feel bad, but is it really any different than granola with fruit?

9:36 am

rubyfoo

yes, he was in the history dept and I was working on a masters' in design, back in the days of Buckminster Fuller

9:36 am

hego

NOOOoooo

9:37 am

rubyfoo

my dept was house in a couple of geodesic domes

9:37 am

uusue2

ah - I've never actually been down to Carbondale (I hear I am not missing much)

9:37 am

uusue2

geodesic domes sound cool, though

9:37 am

rubyfoo

berry crisp with sweet cream would cover all the food groups, I think

9:37 am

kje

will a dollop of plain Fage Total yogurt - that stuff is like whipped cream

9:38 am

rubyfoo

they're an odd space because the edges are useless, even if you're short

9:38 am

rubyfoo

you might need a glass of OJ

9:38 am

kje

coffee

9:38 am

hego

yum : 9

9:38 am

kje

had 3 clementines with my first cup of coffee

9:38 am

kje

not an OJ fan usually, would rather have the whole fruit

9:39 am

rubyfoo

I just read that the incidence of cardiac problems goes way down if you have a few cups a day

9:39 am

kje

a few cups of what

9:39 am

rubyfoo

coffee

9:39 am

kje

coffee has some good benefits

9:40 am

uusue2

<--- drinking green tea at the moment

9:40 am

rubyfoo

yes, anti-oxidants

9:40 am

kje

funny to me that people often think coffee is bad and tea is good - they have most of the same properties and the health benefits of one (for whatever that's truly worth) are the same as the other

9:40 am

uusue2

although I drank enough coffee when I was younger, that if I live to 100 or so it should average out to a few cups a day

9:40 am

rubyfoo

green tea has them, too

9:40 am

kje

I like tea too

9:40 am

rubyfoo

does green tea have caffeine?

9:41 am

hego

I eat choclit for those

9:41 am

kje

there is a wonderful tea shop in Paris called Marriage Frere

9:41 am

uusue2

yes, it does, ruby, although not as much as coffee

9:41 am

kje

they have a blend called Marco Polo - best freakin stuff in the world

9:41 am

rubyfoo

great name!

9:41 am

kje

yes, green tea has caffeine

9:41 am

rubyfoo

<-- love that caffeine jolt in the morning

9:41 am

hego

I had wonderful tea at a shop in Sorbonne.

9:43 am

kje

next time you are in Paris, ruby - Marriage Frere in the Marais - just the smell walking into the place is heaven... centuries of tea and spice absorbed by those old wood floors and walls

9:43 am

hego

sounds like heaven

9:43 am

rubyfoo

should be there in Nov for a couple of days

9:44 am

hego

is ho 7 a compound word?

9:44 am

rubyfoo

easy train ride, just a question of whether the home fires would keep burning....

9:44 am

kje

they have another shop now in another part of Paris, but the original is the best, has been there since the 1700s

9:44 am

kje

yes, hego

9:44 am

rubyfoo

yes, hego, an old-fashioned word for addict

9:44 am

hego

ty Ruby

9:45 am

kje

sounds like someone who drinks a lot of malty beverages

9:45 am

hego

odd name, the tea shop.

9:46 am

hego

and kje

9:46 am

kje

I spelled it wrong - mariage freres

9:47 am

rubyfoo

close enough for jazz!

rubyfoo

anybody else want dog pix?

9:49 am

9:49 am

I am staying in simply cause its too darn hot to do anything else :)

10:43 am

LisaG

is the fourth on wednesday?

10:44 am

LisaG

agreed Sadie, its too hot to go out~Im not leaving my house until I have to go to work at 5:30

10:48 am

MollyL

Too hot to go out, too hot to play ball, so we'll sit in the house and do nothing at all.

10:49 am

crosshair

july first is our big one..run for cover!

10:49 am

bichon

How hot is it in MD Molly. We're leaving for Richmon d

10:49 am

bichon

on WEd.

10:50 am

MollyL

Gonna be 100 for three days Bich. Bring your Arid X-tra Dry.

10:50 am

MollyL

Oh by Wednesday it should be a tad bit cooler.

10:51 am

bichon

I don't feel like going some place hotter than here. Hubby's family obligation

10:52 am

MollyL

And it's a good thing it will cool down for the 4th. Otherwise the medical folks on the mall will be doing triple time for all the people with heat exhaustion.

10:53 am

bichon

We're driving down on the 4th. What might the traffic be like on the Beltway? Is there a better route?

10:54 am

Picklesny

hi!

10:55 am

MollyL

On the 4th, you might luck out. Most of the traffic on the Beltway is before the 4th, people going in and out of town. But it's hard to avoid traffic on the Beltway any time.

10:55 am

MollyL

Hi Pickles

10:55 am

bichon

Don't I know that. I just thought there was another way around DC.

10:56 am

MollyL

There are other ways, but I would suggest you map one out on GPS or Google maps. It's tricky if you aren't familiar with the area.

10:57 am

MollyL

JMC might be a better resource to tap, she does more long distance driving than I do.

10:57 am

bichon

Thanks, I'll look on Google Maps

11:06 am

jmcnrick

what?

11:06 am

crosshair

gonna be a cooker all over this weekend it seems

11:06 am

bichon

jmc, just the person. Driving to Richmond on the 4th. What is the best route past DC to take?

11:07 am

Picklesny

it's already 85F at noon

11:10 am

sadie52

88 here...she says as she basks in the air conditioning hehe

11:12 am

jmcnrick

from?

11:13 am

bichon

From Baltimre [starting out in CT]

11:13 am

Picklesny

whoopie is not in the dictionary?

11:15 am

crosshair

27 c (81 american ) here and climbing

11:15 am

CiociaJudy

89 at home; 90 at work city. Glad the A/C is working!

11:15 am

sadie52

oh me from jmc?? eastern Pennsylvania

11:16 am

bichon

sadie, are you telling me or asking jmc

11:17 am

CiociaJudy

mid/eastern PA for me too Sadie

11:17 am

sadie52

oh shoot whoever asked the question

11:17 am

sadie52

my brain isnt with me yet

11:17 am

bichon

I'm asking how to best get past DC. Coming from CT.

11:18 am

Picklesny

grey bottom

11:18 am

o-o

Fly

11:18 am

sadie52

only thing i know about that is not in I 95 that road is a nightmare round D C

11:18 am

sadie52

lol babble good answer

11:19 am

CiociaJudy

LOL BR!!

11:19 am

Picklesny

parachute

11:20 am

CiociaJudy

can't you go down I-81, Bichon?

11:21 am

bichon

where does that come from vis-a-vis I95?

11:21 am

CiociaJudy

may not be direct but better than DC! when I head to NE I go up I-81 to I think I-495?

11:23 am

CiociaJudy

I-84 connects with I-81

11:23 am

bichon

hmmm

11:24 am

bichon

but that's way west of CT

11:25 am

CiociaJudy

I see that now.

11:26 am

bichon

Maybe the Beltway won't be that bad on a mid-week 4th of July

11:26 am

CiociaJudy

remember that there are big fireworks in DC on the 4th!

11:27 am

bichon

We'll be there around early afternoon

11:30 am

kje

the traffic WILL be bad - the 4th is huge, no matter day of week, all the events on the mall, etc

11:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

Shoopie. Oughta be a word.

11:31 am

Picklesny

and whoopie

11:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

it is. PB, Pickes.

11:32 am

kje

I suggest leaving plenty of time, and consider parking in a suburb and taking the subway in or park even further out, and take the train. You can even park at the airport (BWI) or in baltimore and take Amtrak to Union, which is walking distance to most that you want, and metro service to everywhere

11:32 am

Picklesny

no accord to our game

11:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

No, it isn't. But I think you get half a PB for the first part of the word. What are they serving there?

11:33 am

bichon

no, we're going to Richmond, need to by-pass DC. Leaving from CT around 6 AM.

11:33 am

Kaplan the Magne

actually, spell it differently and you got it.

11:33 am

Kaplan the Magne

Change one letter.

11:33 am

kje

ah, sorry, misread

11:33 am

kje

you def need to byapss DC! lol

11:34 am

kje

just north of the city, as you go down 95, there will be a diversion to through traffic to richmond, take that

11:34 am

Picklesny

my bad to the pb

11:34 am

kje

will still have some traffic, but will miss the worst of it

11:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

What are they feeding the prisoners?

11:35 am

kje

would try to hit there early afternoon - late enough to miss worst of morning crowds going down, and early enough to miss afternoon/evening for fireworks

11:35 am

Picklesny

ice cold lemonade and key lime pie

11:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

Any chocolate>

11:36 am

Picklesny

eat it quickly it might melt

11:37 am

kje

but unless you really really must have your car, I am a big fan of Amtrak for any travel up and down the east coast

11:43 am

bichon

The journey will go like this. Even though I have told m.i.l. we will be there in the evening, she will call every hour from noon on to see if she should put the food she prepared on. When I tell here there's lots of traffic, she'll still keep call. and, we will have a 4 y.o. with us

11:43 am

kje

sounds delightful, bichon!

11:44 am

kje

of course, you don't have to answer the phone

11:44 am

kje

tell her you turned it off so the 4yo can sleep!

11:44 am

bichon

right!

and now it is time for crossy,s often asked for,staggeringly popular tidbit of the day!!!!

12:47 pm

crosshair

Those doves released at weddings and other formal ceremonies are actually white homing pigeons. True ring-neck doves are bred to be kept as pets and rarely survive out of captivity.

12:48 pm

LeslieAnn

i have 3 going now, the tidbit of the day,the quote of the day and the undeniable truth of the day..in no particular order

12:52 pm

stidmama

does that ho 7 build on one of the other ho words? *noticing that we are, yet again, talking about hos*

12:52 pm

stidmama

got it, and no... it didn't.

12:53 pm

stidmama

LA, the ho 7 is a compound word

12:54 pm

LeslieAnn

ha! that is a funny word

12:54 pm

stidmama

I thought so, too! hope you are well LA?

12:54 pm

LeslieAnn

pretty good. yourself?

12:54 pm

crosshair

as a bonus as i go for a power nap,here are 5 undeniable truths for any landlords or room renters out there....

12:54 pm

crosshair

1.The hot water heater pump that fails will only do so after 5:00 P.M. on Friday evening when every
tenant in the building is having a dinner party.
2.The next day , the only supplier in town that stocks parts for the pump tells you that the widget
needed to fix it is in a warehouse in Cleveland and the warehousemen there have been on strike for
seventeen weeks.
3.You are forced to buy a second rate heater and pump [sold only as a package] for six hundred and
fifty dollars, and have it installed by a plumber at double time rates on Sunday morning.
4.On Monday at 9:00:A.M. the strike is settled.
5.On Monday at 9:15:A.M. the hardware store owner calls and says he has found a box containing
thirty seven widgets on a shelf in his back room and he will sell one to you at the old price of ten
cents.

12:54 pm

crosshair

poink!

12:55 pm

stidmama

I am well enough -- today is my day "off" to not be productive. So taking Grant and a young friend of ours on an outing.

12:55 pm

stidmama

Ah, cross, you've hit the nail on the head for sure!

12:55 pm

LeslieAnn

where to?

12:56 pm

stidmama

I think probably the Seattle Center. We have a membership to the Science Fiction/EMP museum which they enjoy, and then we can eat at one of my favorite restaurants before we go home.

12:57 pm

LeslieAnn

sci fi museum? sounds like just the thing for teen boys

12:57 pm

CiociaJudy

I cannot get my last sh4. Help!! (Not using list) sh4/6, sh4/7, sh4/5, sh4/9, sh4/5, sh4/5, sh4/6. What am I missing?

12:57 pm

AzRobin

Ugh, Crossy. Sounds like me with a water main leak on the 4th of July 3yrs ago. No water for 3 days.

12:57 pm

CiociaJudy

sounds great Stiddy!

12:58 pm

AzRobin

Thank goodness for my pool! Temps were 115 degrees that weekend.

12:58 pm

stidmama

hey judy!

12:58 pm

oh robin, that does NOT sound like fun -- and yet you stayed...???

12:59 pm

12:59 pm

Just before that my AC went out at the hottest week in June that year. No AC for a week. Again, thank God for my pool. Yes, I stayed.

12:59 pm

CiociaJudy

O-M-G! Thought I had entered that ages ago!! How embarrassing!!! DONE!

1:00 pm

CiociaJudy

YAY JUDY!!!!!

1:00 pm

AzRobin

GG, Judy!

1:00 pm

LeslieAnn

oh wait stiddy is right i think. two sh 4/9s, both end with the 5-point letter

1:00 pm

stidmama

I am not a desert person, myself -- have driven through a couple, but it's not a climate I like at all. Even living in non-desert grasslands is too dry for me.

1:00 pm

LeslieAnn

yay judy!

1:02 pm

AzRobin

I was such a sun-bunny in my earlier years. Now, the hotter it is the less I can take it...even if it IS a dry heat here. Monsoons are just around the corner. Not looking forward to that!

1:04 pm

stidmama

I like the sun, just not the dry. Western Washington is almost perfect for me, except this year Junuary is a little colder and grayer than normal.

1:06 pm

stidmama

okay, stuck at 16, and listing. brb

1:11 pm

On the plus side, I am actually making progress with the grid..........

1:53 pm

MollyL

*Late clink*

1:54 pm

MollyL

*Casts a raised eyebrow at undergrowth cling-ons*

1:55 pm

Soodle

Hello Molls, and clink right back atcha! (from the undergrowth..)

1:55 pm

MollyL

*Wonders who Soodle is hiding from*

1:57 pm

Soodle

I don't think I'm hiding from anybody. But usually lurkers lurk in the undergrowth... Theres more Babblers here in the undergrowth than in the PB!!!! How are you Molls?

1:58 pm

MollyL

I know. It's become the trendy, new, "in thing" to be a lurker here. I'm fine. Glad it's the weekend.

2:00 pm

Soodle

I am not a lurker by nature. But my laptop is seriously ill (perhaps fatally ill), and I can only Babble on the smartphone, so chatting and Babbling is almost impossible. And yes, I will 'clink' to Friday!!

2:03 pm

MollyL

I don't know how you can post here or play here on that teeny tiny screen. I would go blind.

2:04 pm

Soodle

I'm on a borrowed lap-top now. Hence the emergence from the undergrowth that is smart-phone-land!

2:04 pm

torgone

*clink* Yeeha! Friday!

2:06 pm

MollyL

Everyone is borrowing here today. Borrowing air conditioning, borrowing laptops. Hey Tor!

2:06 pm

Soodle

Woo-Hoo! 3 clinkers!!! Its officially a party! (Or as my 20 yr old would say - a PAR-TAY).

2:09 pm

MollyL

*Shudders* I'm so tired of "par-tay", "gawd" and "hawt". Although I can handle it better from a youngster than I can from an old fart.

2:10 pm

Soodle

Hawt?? I am saying that out loud, and still can't figure out what that's supposed to mean? Translation, please....

2:11 pm

Soodle

Hot?

2:12 pm

MollyL

Hot. For some reason, the internet weird speakers say hawt for hot and gawd for God. I find it all incredibly stupid.

2:12 pm

MollyL

Best celebrity gossip of the day. Katie Holmes has FINALLY come to her senses and ended it with Tom Cruise.

2:13 pm

Soodle

With an Irish accent, hot is pronounced HOSH. The soft 'T'.... the bane of the Irish accent.

2:14 pm

Soodle

Oh bless Katie. It took her quite a while to come to her senses.

2:17 pm

MollyL

I've never seen anything so sad as that poor girl crouching in her wedding photos to try and not appear taller than Tom.

2:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Katie is leaving Tom? No shit!

75 yr old driving home at 3.45am. Stopped by the cops. 'Where are you going' said the cop. 'I'm going to a lecture on the evils of drink' says the drunk. 'Its the middle of the night' says the cop, 'who in the name of goodness gives lectures like that at this time of night. 'My wife' comes the reply...... Ba boom.

10:46 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all, popping in for a chat...

10:54 pm

uusue2

hi Jilly!

10:54 pm

stidmama

hey all

10:55 pm

uusue2

hi stid!

10:58 pm

torgone

*lurk*

10:59 pm

stidmama

:-)

11:02 pm

stidmama

I finished earlier, can clue if needed.

11:02 pm

Jillyjill

Sheesh, I go to FB for a second and everyone comes out of lurk mode...

11:03 pm

Jillyjill

So, uusue, what was the theory on the big bang at 10:33?

11:04 pm

Jillyjill

Hi stiddy. read your post...how are you feeling?

11:06 pm

uusue2

dunno, Jilly, lightning hit very close but nothing seems to be on fire and no power is out, so we are fine

11:06 pm

uusue2

we heard a sizzling noise and then a giant flash and crash of thunder all at once, so it was definitely near by

11:08 pm

Jillyjill

Wow, remember an episode like that when I spent the summer at my uncles farm in norther Wisconsin...the dog and I raced for space under the table!!

11:08 pm

stidmama

ouch, sue

11:08 pm

stidmama

I am better, thanks jilly -- the swelling is subsiding, and I told Grant what to look for in case it gets bad before I can reach my epipens. But it's not going to go there today, I think.

11:09 pm

stidmama

I was in a house that was struck by lightning once -- had a rod, but it was still REALLY LOUD.

11:09 pm

uusue2

wow, that is a relief, stid!

11:10 pm

Jillyjill

I had a really bad reaction to something last night...eyes swelled up, itched like crazy and my asthma hit big time...have NO idea what it could be but diphenhydramine took care of it overnight.

11:10 pm

Jillyjill

Ya stiddy, stopping breathing would be one....

11:10 pm

stidmama

oh man, jill -- I hate when that happens. *wonders where my inhaler got to*

11:11 pm

stidmama

Exactly, jilly. Sometimes the bp drops so fast I don't have time to react and it looks like I am napping... I tell people if I am napping at an inappropriate time go straight for the epipens.

11:11 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, I pitched mine at the cat during a night he was playing with the blinds at 3 AM...had one heck of a time finding it last night...

11:12 pm

stidmama

oh! LOL poor kitty was dreaming of catching critters!

11:12 pm

uusue2

<--- very glad she does not have allergies

11:13 pm

Jillyjill

too make it worse, I was alone last night....

11:14 pm

Jillyjill

darn cat was actively making the venitian blinds a musical instrument...I was NOT amused nor appreciative...LOL

11:17 pm

stidmama

ah, the melodious tinkling of claws on slats... one of the world's most effective percussion sets.

11:19 pm

Jillyjill

and guarenteed a standing ovation...with inhaler

11:20 pm

harpjane

11:35 pm

11:35 pm

11:42 pm

stidmama

11:45 pm

harpjane

jilly-I don't think the cat has figured out what's going on. they are just these little fluff balls in a nest.

11:46 pm

harpjane
