Me too, Mom. We were outside for twenty minutes last night lighting sparklers and I was soaking wet when we were done.

7:45 am
Mom

Annie, you have power I hope
7:46 am
Mom

Molly I am glad your power is restored. I read that Seain has his power back on also
7:46 am
Anniebrook

Yes, this co-op has its own power plant, not dependent on Con Edison but we lose power at the strangest times. Thank God this is not one of those times.
7:46 am
Mom

I am trying (without success) to get the kids to come here. They don't have air conditioning

I cannot fix that but your immune system will easily handle it. You'll have 5-7 yucky days then slowly get better over the following week.

lazy? nef? sorry, can't picture that ... i would call myself elegant before I thought you could be lazy
11:51 am

missing 1 W - have we x 3 and wh x 9 - what do i still need
11:52 am
stidmama

well, Nef has earned some lazy time!
11:52 am
Nef

yep, but his Daddy is in crunch time; so he may end up calling or even taking Ronnie to work (I don't know, didn't ask)
11:52 am
Dorens

funny teach, that is exactly what i have... (although we might have different wh"s. or we"S for that matter
11:52 am
Dorens

oh she certainly has nef, but I just can't see her being lazy
11:53 am
Nef

LOL! You guys crack me up! I like being lazy! I do it whenever possible! :-)
11:53 am
Dorens

ok nef. i stand corrected.
11:55 am
stidmama

*proud member of lazy-r-us*
11:55 am
Nef

And I do think of you as being elegant and lady-like too, Dorens; first impressions stick with me here
11:56 am
stidmama

:-) see! I wasn't mistaken! *grin* Doren = elegant...
11:57 am
Dorens

nah i don't see stid as lazy either. you guys don't know lazy. I put all my effort into the computer (and some into cooking) and the house and garden are a shambles around me. (curious to know what gives the elegant or lady-like impression. not that I don't like it, mind you)
11:57 am
stidmama

well piffle. My laundry is ready to go ON THE LINE!!! It is finally warm and sunny enough to dry clothes outside. Did two loads that way yesterday. It makes me happy to be able to have fresh-smelling clothes and not pre-heat the furnace with the dryer...
11:58 am
Dorens

see -- laundry? and she dries it outside? lazy people don't do such things
11:58 am
stidmama

*looks around sadly at shambles of house* I am making so little progress on all the things that have had to wait... *sigh*
11:58 am
Nef

let's see: always polite, proper English, has held up well under pressure, etc..
11:59 am
stidmama

poor people do, Doren... anything that saves propane and power (and gasoline and money) we try.
11:59 am
stidmama

Except we don't skimp on food. Much.
11:59 am
Dorens

lazy poor people wear dirty clothes!!!
12:00 pm
Dorens

oh thank you nef. that does sound nice. I will have to tell my kids!
12:00 pm
Nef

I picture stid as being more the Earth Mother type; always mothering everyone
12:00 pm
stidmama

I do that, too -- in the summer mostly, but my "at home" garden clothes get extra use between washings! LOL
12:01 pm
stidmama

Except I am terrible at maintaining correspondence-based relationships... I am nothing like my lovely grandmothers who always remembered everyone's important events.
12:01 pm
Dorens

oh yes, she is nef. and puts so much energy into that, and teaching, and gardening, and mothering, etc. not lazy at all
12:01 pm
Nef

sadly, I have the same problem, stid....
12:01 pm
stidmama

for NBT the lone A please?
12:02 pm
Nef

(and I've read stid's blog before; I Know she isn't lazy, even if she thinks so)

12:02 pm

*hugs Doren and Nef* you ladies are amazing. I REALLY needed the esteem boost today, to be honest!
12:02 pm
Dorens

that is a generational change -- I called my father in law (actually father out-law) to tell him i HAD bought him a birthday card, but forgot to mail it. he is 96 and sharper than i am!
12:02 pm
stidmama

ah, merci, teach
12:02 pm

and that is NBT for me.
12:03 pm
Dorens

i'm nbt, nbs, and down to 37 without a list. guess I'll come back later and finish it off. enjoy your day, folks
12:03 pm
stidmama

I had several cards made for friends in Tbilisi, but didn't manage to get them to the person who would take the for me last week. So I need to either pay to send them (and hope they make it intact) or I need to wait until my next friend goes.
12:03 pm
stidmama

go Doren go!
12:03 pm
Nef

bye, Dorens HAGD.

I am heading out, too. Have a lovely day, all!

the 3 times I've seen it in person, the crowd was daunting
12:26 pm

and the time it passed my garden and I put stuff on the lawn to be seen from the helicopter, they never showed any of it because it was downhill
12:27 pm

Well, I will still look for you.

even though these stages have been dull, I still love it, if only for the little castles along the way

it scares me just watching the downhills on TV

I was scared at 29--I felt like I or the bike would implode.

I was always very careful to hit the back brakes first for exactly that reason!

I did 9 miles on the trails and in the hilly park yesterday. It was demanding.

1:06 pm
Scrabbler

Oh, no, Annie. Do you know the cause?
1:16 pm
Anniebrook

I was adjusting all the clocks etc...we have our own power plant. We do not rely on Con Edison but we still had a blackout. They will send a notice explaining what happened but I am very happy it is on in time for Bobby to come home. The stairwell was pitch black. Im on the 23rd floor I was going to walk down with a flashlight and walk up with Bobby.
1:19 pm
Nef

Back again. Oh, Annie! That would be horrid: to walk down and then up 23 flights in the dark with just a flashlight! Is it hot there?
1:20 pm
Anniebrook

Yes, it's hot but the AC is back on so I am relieved. Thank God I dont have to walk the stairs.
1:20 pm
sammysmom

wow annie,, i canot imagine living so high up... have always lived on the first or second floor
1:21 pm
Anniebrook

I had to get used to being so high but I love it. The view is beautiful.
1:23 pm
Nef

What is your view of, Annie?
1:24 pm
Nef

(I can't imagine living that high either, have only lived in 1 and 2 story houses, but one was on a decent-sized hil....)
1:24 pm
Anniebrook

I see the Manhattan skyline, Kennedy airport, Verrazano Bridge. Airport is quite a bit away but I can make it out.
1:25 pm
Nef

How neat! That does sound beautiful!
1:26 pm
Anniebrook

I face west so I see the most beautiful sunsets too.
1:26 pm
Nef

:-) Wonderful!
1:27 pm
Anniebrook

I am living here almost forever and the view is still new.
1:28 pm

how tall is your building if you live on the 23rd floor?
1:29 pm
Anniebrook

Im on the top floor.
1:31 pm
sammysmom

nice annie
1:31 pm
Nef

Ahh. I'm trying to remember; I've been up that high before (DH's office was on the 19th floor so he worked that high); but I don't think I've ever stayed even in a hotel room higher than 10th floor (probably due to DH being handicapped...)
1:31 pm
Anniebrook

Lovely when we do not have a power failure. It doesnt happen that often, thank goodness but scary when it does. Everything goes out.
1:33 pm
sammysmom

i don't even go up to my attic because it is the third floor-lol
1:33 pm
HarryHood

nice annie - do you live on the east side so you could see the fireworks?
1:34 pm
Anniebrook

I face Manhattan so I was able to see the fireworks
1:34 pm
HarryHood

oh - are you in queens?
1:35 pm
Anniebrook

Brooklyn near Brighton Beach.
1:35 pm
HarryHood

aah. I lived in queens. and manhattan.

1:36 pm
HarryHood

1:37 pm
HarryHood

I thought maybe you lived near Newtown Creek.
1:37 pm
Anniebrook

Isnt that in Greenpoint? No, I live near the beach.
1:39 pm
HarryHood

cool. did you go see the hot dog eating contest? It kind of makes me nauseous just reading about it.
1:39 pm
Anniebrook

I went to see it once and almost threw up. It's disgusting. I dont know how they do it.

I went to see it once and almost threw up. It's disgusting. I dont know how they do it.
1:44 pm

I have a question about the grid: earlier crossy said there were so many Babblets here; but I don't see more than 1 or 2. Am I missing them; or what?
1:45 pm
Anniebrook

Nef, I was thinking the same thing. Not too many babblets that I see but maybe I am so used to them I think they are "real" words/
1:45 pm
HarryHood

haven't seen them. but then I don't usually get them until I list.
1:46 pm
HarryHood

just found my 100th word, and it's going sloooow
1:46 pm

I don't see them either. Must have been a hallucination.
1:46 pm

yay, HH
1:46 pm

thanks. I've made my own list of babbletys; but it isn't complete by any means and wasn't sure.
1:47 pm
Nef

I have 60 words left; so I'm right there with you Harry
1:47 pm

1:53 pm
Anniebrook

THAT is high. Achingly beautful describes it wonderfully.

1:58 pm
Dorens

yes it was. and leonard bernstein lived there, and my father was his lawyer
1:59 pm
Anniebrook

Dorens, now I know where you get your smarts from? Did you ever meet Leonard Bernstein.
2:00 pm
Dorens

yes I did, and Aaron Copland and Michael Tilson Thomas and Baryshnikov
2:00 pm
Anniebrook

Wow!
2:00 pm
Nef

WOW!
2:00 pm
Dorens

baryshnikov was the most exciting cause i had studied russian in high school, so i got to converse with him a bit
2:00 pm
Anniebrook

Were they your Dad's clients too?
2:00 pm
Nef

the people you meet here!.... :-)
2:01 pm
Dorens

yes. and others in the "serious" music world whose names you might not know, unless you followed that sort of thing
2:02 pm
Anniebrook

Dorens, were you raised in Manhattan?
2:02 pm
HarryHood

dorens - that's really neat.
2:03 pm
HarryHood

this lady we knew - she was all bent out of shape after John Lennon was shot, with all the kids coming by to leave candles and things.
2:03 pm
Dorens

no, my dad felt that we needed to be raised somewhere around grass etc (he was from Albany and his favorite memories were at Uncle Jack's farm ) He loved the city, but moved to NJ for raising the family. I wish we HAD lived in manhattan
2:04 pm
Dorens

so many of us were bent out of shape after he was shot, Harry. But i can imagine living there was far more disturbing
2:04 pm
sciencegeek

Wow, I learn from you all everyday. Cool life, Dorens
2:04 pm
sammysmom

did you know klaus roy?
2:04 pm
Anniebrook

Very few high schools offer Russian as a language. You can certainly speak Russian here. I live in Brighton Beach.
2:05 pm
Dorens

i grew up in teaneck. And now my daughter is nearly engaged to a boy whose parents moved here when he was 9... i've been practicing with them
2:05 pm

2:05 pm
Anniebrook

Nice.

2:05 pm
Anniebrook

2:06 pm
HarryHood

I used to like this vegan restaurant in teaneck...I think it was called veggie heaven
2:06 pm
Dorens

they arranged for her to have her 30th birthday party at one of those brighton beach night clubs.. it was such fun! and only slightly drunken (for me at least)
2:06 pm
Dorens

they have opened one in denville, close to where i live, harry. Chinese?
2:06 pm
HarryHood

yes - it was delicious
2:07 pm
HarryHood

and after we moved to CT I found another one in port chester NY called green symphony, but then they closed.
2:07 pm
Anniebrook

My daughter lives in CT.
2:07 pm
HarryHood

We're in new haven.
2:08 pm
HarryHood

Though we were in Greenwich for a year. A very bad year.
2:08 pm
Dorens

mine lives in stamford now annie (she moved from greenpoint this year). where is your daughter
2:09 pm
Dorens

why was it bad harry? cause it was greenwich?
2:09 pm
Anniebrook

She lives in Wilton.
2:09 pm
HarryHood

wilton is where the quality guru Juran used to live.
2:09 pm
Anniebrook

HH, Did you not like Greenwich?
2:09 pm
HarryHood

Dorens, we lived in a roach infested apartment, and it was very isolated.
2:10 pm
HarryHood

we were not in the upscale part :) we lived in subsidized hospital housing
2:10 pm
Dorens

i don't know where wilton is, but i drive through CT all the time on my way to cambridge to visit the grandkids... altho they are moving to baltimore at the end of the summer
2:10 pm
HarryHood

Wilton is right off the Merritt in Fairfield cty
2:11 pm
Dorens

oh, i know about that... was married for twenty years to a medical student, intern, resident and finally neurologist
2:11 pm
HarryHood

we're considering a move to cambridge area. Hard to find affordable housing
2:11 pm
Anniebrook


HH, you got it right. Fairfield County, that is.
2:11 pm
Dorens

oh, i see signs for that all th time. i love the merritt
2:11 pm
HarryHood

I'm married to a neurologist :)
2:12 pm
Dorens

my son sold his house the first weekend he listed it, and they had so many offers they ende up $40,000 above their asking price. cambridge is definitely not having a problem with house sales
2:12 pm
Dorens

harry is your neurologist finished with training yet?
2:12 pm
HarryHood

holy cow :( we're thinking of newton or malden
2:13 pm
HarryHood

yes, we're several years post residency. she's mdphd, and we got married before 3rd year of med school.
2:13 pm
HarryHood

so greenwich was intern year, which is bad enough w/o living in greenwich
2:13 pm
Dorens

my sister lives in arlington, my other son in somerville... much more affordable
2:14 pm
Dorens

my son is mdphd also. not neurologist, though... why are you looking at boston area? job there?
2:15 pm
HarryHood

she moved to pharma 1.5 years ago, and we're thinking of jumping to another company
2:15 pm
Dorens

pharm? my son's phd is in the history of med/specialty pharmaceuticals
2:16 pm
Dorens

he wrote a book.. she should look at it. Prescribing by numbers
2:16 pm
HarryHood

cool - is he working in pharm as well?
2:16 pm
Dorens

no, academics... Johns Hopkins just swiped him away from Harvard
2:16 pm
HarryHood

five stars on amazon!
2:17 pm
HarryHood

that's great - my wife left academics after a few years, but she's still clinical faculty at yale.
2:17 pm
Dorens

it is surprisingly readable. he is hot stuff... which is why hopkins stole him. Their Institute for the History of Medicine is apparently the top in the country. His next book (not finished yet) working title is Generic.
2:18 pm
Nef

Dorens, I've read part of his book; I'm very impressed by it (I think you must have told us here about it when it came out?
2:18 pm
Dorens

oh of course i did nef... i live vicariously through these kids of mine!
2:18 pm
Nef

LOL! Don't we all! :-)
2:19 pm
Dorens

I haven't told him yet... just had my physical and my cholesterol is 270. my md said if i weren't jeremy's mom i'd probably go on statins now, but he's sure Jeremy wouldn't approve. (he said this with a smile)
2:20 pm
Nef

Oh, dear! Have you adjusted your diet yet?
2:21 pm
Dorens

no, because i am already on a pretty good diet. very little red meat.. only use olive oil (miss butter sometimes), but i can't give up cheese altogether. I love cheese
2:22 pm
Nef

:-) I understand that too well myself.
2:22 pm
HarryHood

I tried to look at his course "the social life of pharmaceuticals" but you need a login :)
2:22 pm
HarryHood

Hope you don't mind that I'm stalking your kid
2:22 pm
Dorens

oh i'm sorry to hear that. harvard can be sooo stuffy
2:22 pm
Dorens

oh no, i don't mind at all. i find most babblers to be more than safe, and i've seen you around here for a while
2:23 pm
HarryHood

but (and I'm a straight man) I have to say he's a good looking man.
2:24 pm
Dorens

funny. i was just visiting my mom yesterday and she was showing me a picture of when he was 3 and talking about how good looking he used to be! thanks
2:25 pm
Dorens

so, have you watched his youtube videos? he has no idea how they got there
2:26 pm
HarryHood

heh no - I'll have to do that later. right now I'm looking at house prices in somerville - I'd never considered the neighborhoods north of cambridge.
2:26 pm
Dorens

i just noticed on his youtube video someone said "most eloquent professor I've ever had" that is so cute!!! He got his science brains from his father, but the word part from me
2:27 pm
Nef

That's so nice to see someone write about your own kid I bet!
2:27 pm
Dorens

well good luck, hope you find something. Arlington is really beautiful, by the way. Nice parks and ponds etc... but much of Somerville is basically Cambridge North.... Davis Square, for instance..
2:28 pm
Dorens

it is nef. between his adorable two children and that sort of thing, you can see why i live vicariously through him
2:28 pm
HarryHood

we really need to visit and look around before we make any plans.
2:29 pm
Dorens

yes, and it is a fabulous place to visit too... so much happening there (much preferable to new haven)
2:30 pm
Nef

I just found his youtube video; he is nice looking! (how can his grandmother not see that too?)
2:31 pm
HarryHood

yes well, I found a great place in brookline, and for only about $4 million we can have the same house we have now.
2:31 pm
Dorens

oh, i think she was sort of kidding. but he was an astonishingly beautiful little boy....
2:31 pm
HarryHood

here it would sell for about 450K
2:31 pm
Dorens

ah, brookline... don't even bother looking there, harry
2:32 pm
MollyL

"Astonishingly beautiful" what a fabulous way to describe your kid. : )
2:33 pm
Nef

50 left and life is interferring with Babble again. BBL; Happy Babbling Everybody!
2:33 pm
Dorens

elegant, molly. that's what they call me
2:34 pm
Dorens

bye nef. i'm down to 21 and think i need to do something else for a while too... this was supposed to be a ten minute break
2:46 pm
HarryHood

49 left. bbl perhaps.
2:54 pm
hego

Hi All
2:54 pm
hego

Hi Dorens!
2:55 pm
hego

phooey that was 20 minutes ago.
2:55 pm
MollyL

Hego! You are in the grid today. Ice cream sundaes in the PB.
2:56 pm
hego

Hi Molly
2:56 pm
hego

would love a sundae
2:56 pm
MollyL

I figured something cool would be good, as most of us are sweltering.
2:57 pm
hego

93 here
3:01 pm
MollyL

We are at 95 and going up to 105 by Saturday. My energy level is tanking.
3:02 pm
hego

yuk!!
3:03 pm
Nef

back again from phone calls and paying bills. How are you 2 doing today?
3:03 pm
hego

I'm good Nef, ty
3:04 pm
hego

keeping cool
3:04 pm
MollyL

Not bad Nef, and you?
3:05 pm
Nef

I totally hear you too, Molly. We are in the midst of a heat wave with high humidity too; they say that by the weekend the humidity will drop; so 85 F won't be too bad (it's been in the 90's+ to 100's this week; was 85 with a humidity of 73 % when I got on here today (before 10 AM)
3:06 pm
Nef

doing well, Molly. Glad we have A/C
3:06 pm
MollyL

I read about how brutal it was out your way Nef. I think we could all use a nice cool day with some fresh air.
3:06 pm
hego

feel so bad for folks with no power.
3:07 pm
MollyL

I do too Hego. I have been without power in heat like this and it's awful.
3:07 pm
hego

the worst
3:07 pm
Nef

I agree hego. And also people who don't have A/C
3:08 pm
MollyL

I feel bad for people with no A/C too. People who have it and don't run it, well I don't understand them.
3:10 pm
Nef

agreed. I used to not be bothered by the weather; but as I age it does affect me. A/C is a necessity for people with MS (like DH) as it makes the symptoms worse. We know a few people with MS who don't have A/C and that always bothers me....
3:14 pm
MollyL

My son works at a summer day camp and they are having to curtail activities with the kids because of the heat.
3:15 pm
Nef

I can understand that, Molly. What ages does he work with? (can they make cooling scarfs?
3:16 pm
MollyL

Grade school kids. And yes, they do the cooling scarves activity, it's a big hit.
3:17 pm
Nef

good. DH has several of them (not that we made them, mind you) and they really help cool him down.
3:17 pm
hego

okay, what is a cooling scarf?
3:19 pm
Nef

the ones we have are made out the old-fashioned blue mens' hankies; a simple strip scarf with the absorbent gel beads in them
3:19 pm
hego

never heard of it. interesting.
3:21 pm
Nef

it doesn't take much of the gel beads (couple of TBS at most), they get sewn into the scarf; you soak the scarf in water and tie it around your neck and it cools you down as the water evaporates
3:21 pm
Nef

even if you soak them in luke warm water, they are chilly when you put them on your neck
3:21 pm
hego

neat
3:23 pm
uusue2

hi again all!
3:23 pm
hego

hi Sue
3:24 pm
Nef

hi sue!
3:24 pm
hego

sue, are we going to meet in Vancouver?
3:24 pm
periwinkle

hi all, where do you get the gel bead?
3:24 pm
uusue2

I think so, hego! I am planning to go, hope it can happen!
3:24 pm
hego

hi Peri
3:24 pm
periwinkle

would like to make one for my sister
3:25 pm
Nef

craft stores or even garden stores peri.
3:25 pm
hego

I will be there!
3:25 pm
periwinkle

ok
3:25 pm
periwinkle

sounds like fun hego
3:25 pm
hego

so 5,14?
3:25 pm
periwinkle

are you flying out hego?
3:25 pm
hego

i have never been there Peri.
3:26 pm
hego

but I have grandkids in Seattle i was going to see.
3:26 pm
uusue2

the way you call a pig, hego (the so5/12)
3:26 pm
uusue2

5/14, sorry
3:26 pm
hego

Yes, I will fly
3:26 pm
hego

ty Sue, always forget that.
3:26 pm
Nef

that would be fun to do; but I can't plan anything for this summer due to DH's health (we missed a get-together in MT last year because he got too sick then also. Wonder if there's a connection? ;-)
3:27 pm
periwinkle

I have never been there either
3:27 pm
hego

sorry Nef
3:27 pm
uusue2

I plan to drive but it will take a bit of coordination; haven't decided whether to bring Frank along or not
3:27 pm
periwinkle

I have my new birth certificate, now need to get a new passport
3:28 pm
hego

I thought you were doing that Peri
3:28 pm
hego

Poor Frank
3:28 pm
periwinkle

have not applied for the passport as yet
3:28 pm
hego

it takes a while
3:29 pm
uusue2

well, it is complicated to travel with him due to his celiac disease - we have to bring food for him
3:29 pm
uusue2

but if I leave him home he won't have a car
3:29 pm
periwinkle

I know and I want to look nice in the picture.need to get my hair done agai :)
3:29 pm
Nef

better start working on that passport; it takes a good month or longer for them to get to you!
3:29 pm
periwinkle

again
3:29 pm
hego

my deceased husband had celiac, and we traveled everywhere.
3:30 pm
periwinkle

it took almost 3 months to get the darn birth certificate
3:30 pm
uusue2

was he very sensitive, hego? Frank is sensitive to even tiny traces of wh***
3:30 pm
hego

it's even easier now, Sue
3:30 pm
uusue2

he also has problems with things like vinegar and tree nuts and even grapes
3:31 pm
hego

not too sensitive but we were careful anyway
3:31 pm
Nef

my daughter applied for her passport 2 months before she needed it; then it was denied just a week before her trip because her birth cert. has "Anne" on it and DH put "Annie" on her Social Security card. :-(
3:31 pm
hego

i did lug gluten free biscotti to Italy so he could have breakfast
3:33 pm
hego

nef if you have a trip planned they will hurry it up a little
3:34 pm
hego

maybe
3:34 pm
Nef

really, hego? I wonder if my dtr knew that and mentioned it?
3:34 pm
uusue2

you can ask for expedited service but it costs extra
3:35 pm
uusue2

anyway, nef, we will probably be passing through Minneapolis so could stop and say hi if you would like
3:36 pm
Nef

well, I'm sure she wouldn't have paid extra for that. And as of right now; she hasn't notified the SS that her proper name doesn't have an *i* in it.
3:37 pm
Nef

oh, sue! I'd love that! I'd love to meet you!
3:37 pm
hego

if her name on her passport is incorrect that could be big problems
3:38 pm
uusue2

ok - we will keep in touch, nef!
3:38 pm
Nef

hego, it's the SS card that's wrong
3:39 pm
Nef

when is the get together? (trying to check calendar to see what's happening
3:39 pm
hego

that's not a problem for travel than
3:39 pm
hego

august 18
3:41 pm
Nef

okay.
3:41 pm
hego

leave hubby home, sneak over with Sue. lol
3:42 pm
uusue2

There you go, nef! :-)
3:42 pm
hego

: )
3:43 pm
Nef

very tempting, hego. Except DH isn't very trust-worthy when left alone for long. (Did I mention the stains on the ceiling AND carpet after my sisters' and my vacation in April?
3:43 pm
hego

love to know how that happened.
3:45 pm
Nef

me too. and they aren't in the same spot either (ceiing stains are over the Lazy Boy; carpet stains are different colored and across the room. HE says he doesn't know how either stain happened either!
3:45 pm
hego

Hmmm.......
3:47 pm
Nef

he has memory problems, so that *may* be true; but I don't know
3:47 pm
hego

if i had a choice between house and getaway, i know which i would pick. lol
3:48 pm
Nef

I give him the benefit of the doubt most of the time; --but not always! ;-)
3:48 pm
hego

but maybe he shouldn't stay alone, then.
3:48 pm
hego

good for you.
3:49 pm
Nef

he wasn't alone most of the week I was gone; my dtr. was here but worked the first 2 days and then decided that she'd take the rest of the week off. I guess they had a good time visiting etc.
3:50 pm
hego

sounds like a really good time
3:50 pm
Nef

they went to the VFW, the Legion, and ate out too.
3:50 pm
hego

party, party. : )
3:51 pm
Nef

LOL! That's what I'm afraid of (re: the stains). My dtr. said she hadn't noticed them either; so not sure about stuff.
3:51 pm
hego

I think they're in cahoots.
3:52 pm
Nef

I give up. I guess I need to list (haven't found a new word since I came back....)
3:53 pm
hego

just a few odd ones
3:55 pm
Nef

have you finished, hego?
3:55 pm
MollyL

Hego, I said that once around one of my sons and he said, "Mom, what the hell are cahoots?"
3:55 pm
hego

not yet
3:56 pm
Nef


oh-oh our ages are showing!
3:56 pm
hego

hahahaha
3:58 pm
uusue2

I am pretty much stuck with 43 left,may list later
3:58 pm
Nef

3:58 pm
Nef

3:59 pm
uusue2

oh well, I should go write a few more physics problems
3:59 pm
uusue2

BTW, Chicago has set a record high temp for today of 103; it is only 97 here
4:00 pm
hego

whew!
4:01 pm
uusue2

I am being very lazy and staying inside
4:01 pm

4:07 pm

4:07 pm
hego

do you need clues Harry?
4:08 pm
hego

I must leave soon
4:08 pm
HarryHood

I think I'm going to list - ty hego
4:08 pm
hego

okay, bye then.
4:08 pm
HarryHood

I have a whole mess of P S T words missing :0
4:09 pm
hego

they're not too hard with the list. poof!
4:10 pm
Nef

same here Harry. (was on a phone call)
4:10 pm
Nef

did hego finish or just leave?
4:11 pm
HarryHood

of course now it's "oh dear how could I miss that one"
4:12 pm
Nef

yeah, Harry, I just listed a little while ago and am saying the same thing
4:14 pm
Nef

BBS, doorbell
4:19 pm
Nef

4:20 pm
HarryHood

hi nef
4:20 pm
MollyL

Front
4:22 pm
HarryHood

well, that certainly made things easier.
4:22 pm
HarryHood

3 to go.
4:22 pm
Nef

:-) I didn't want you to miss me, Harry; who knows how long that Schwans saleman would take
4:23 pm
Nef

LOL, Molly!
4:23 pm
HarryHood

we're waiting for a fedex delivery of an a/c unit for my daughter's br
4:23 pm
MollyL

Ah, the food delivery man.
4:23 pm
HarryHood

she's terribly allergic, and I'm hoping that keeping her window closed at night will help
4:24 pm
Nef

(I really want to take a nap; but then wouldn't want to get up again. I'm being entirely too lazy today!)
4:25 pm
HarryHood

1
4:25 pm
Nef

Harry, what is she allergic to? Having the A/C on here does help us.
4:25 pm
Nef

Go, go HArry!
4:25 pm
HarryHood

I don't know, nef - I think it's tree something. probably also dust.
4:25 pm
HarryHood

testing a child for allergies just seems cruel
4:26 pm
Nef

how old is she?
4:26 pm
HarryHood

ugh. can I get a clue for et5? my monkeys are on strike
4:26 pm
HarryHood

I know there's gotta be a y and m? in there
4:27 pm
Nef

that's correct, Harry; then the 1st letter of the alphabet
4:28 pm
HarryHood

ty nef
4:28 pm
Nef

et + sometimes vowel + not pa
4:28 pm
HarryHood

ok - gotta run and get supper started! bye!
4:28 pm
Nef

(couldn't figure out how to clue til now...
4:28 pm
Nef

YAY, Harry!
4:34 pm
Nef

(and I'm seeing crossy's Babblets now; they are mostly the words I've missed but they aren't "my" usual Babblets....
4:49 pm
MollyL

I think the definition of Babblet varies from person to person and from vocabulary to vocabulary. *Wink*
4:52 pm
Nef

the vocabulary makes a difference. I say the ta4/5 and 5/12 combo a lot right now because of reading about them to the grandson. I doubt if crossy says it often
4:58 pm
Mark Jones

why hello mates
4:58 pm
Nef

hi Mark
4:59 pm
Mark Jones

How are you, nef?
4:59 pm
Nef

doing well and being lazy Mark (staying inside and out of the heat). How about you?
5:00 pm
Mark Jones

Same here. 100 degrees is inside chess and babble weather, not basketball. Doing quite well, thanks.
5:03 pm
Nef

:-) I'm glad I don't have to deal with my 3 yr. old grandson today; I'd have to send him outside for 10- 15 minutes to slow him down a bit
5:03 pm
Mark Jones

That isn't nice
5:04 pm
Mark Jones

3 though? I guess
5:06 pm
Nef

the last few days he'd go out with the dog to pick some raspberries or water "his" plants. (He wouldn't stay out long; and he kept wanting me out too; so I'd go out for 5-10 minutes at a time and he'd come in with me
5:06 pm
Nef

(I'm not as mean as that sounded)
5:07 pm
Mark Jones

Och
5:07 pm
Mark Jones

*ouch
5:08 pm
Nef

:-) sorry. He's been here for 10 days; I have today and tomorrow off. :-) I'm enjoying it
5:08 pm
Mark Jones

Yeah, but you don't have the best weather days
5:09 pm
Nef

Boy! Don't forget to pl everything here today. A lot of the words I missed are pl's
5:12 pm
Nef

I really thinks that kids need to be outside a lot when they're young. They live in an apt. and he can go out in our fenced backyard and have a great time playing with the dog and me. I'm usually his favorite playmate; but the heat affects me more as I age.
5:14 pm
Nef

normally we meet some friends when he's here; we go to the parks and playgrounds (4 within walking distance) and can go to the beach just down the street; but it's been too hot for that this pa** week
5:17 pm
MollyL

I agree Nef. Kids need to be outside in fresh air. It's so good for them.
5:19 pm
Nef

at 3, that kid knows how to use a computer and what shows are on at certain times. (then again, his dad is in the gaming industry...) Here at my house, he's learning other things
5:20 pm
MollyL

Well then, it's nice that he has a Gram to teach him the finer things in life. : )
5:22 pm
Nef

pbskids.org is in my bookmark list too though. But we don't have Netflix (? is that correct?) so he can't tell us what we should watch at what times
5:24 pm
MollyL

PBS is great programming for kids.
5:26 pm
Nef

he's learning some old time rhymes and he gets such a giggle out of them.. Do you know "a peanut sat on a railroad track..."? My son called me the other day to ask what it was (he didn't remember from his own childhood till I repeated it slowly for him. :-(
5:27 pm
MollyL

His heart was all aflutter
5:27 pm
Nef

aLONG CAME A TRAIN -THE 9:15
5:27 pm
MollyL

Choo choo! Peanut butter!
5:27 pm
Nef

TOOT! TOOT! Peanut butter.
5:27 pm
Nef

sorry about the caps
5:28 pm
Nef

choo choo? cool! There always seems to be regional differences.
5:28 pm
MollyL

My kids and I changed the words because trains don't go toot toot.
5:29 pm
MollyL

I also changed the words to rock a bye baby, because there was no way I was going to sing to my kids about a baby falling out of a tree.
5:29 pm
Nef

oh. We pretty much yell it (in a deep voice) or he blows his train whistle
5:30 pm
Nef

how did you change that?
5:31 pm
MollyL

When the cradle rocks, the baby will sleep, so sleep little baby, don't make a peep.
5:31 pm
Nef

Ronnie kept asking why the baby was in the tree top and how he got there
5:31 pm
Nef

nice! :-)
5:32 pm
MollyL

Oh, and it's when the breeze blows, not when the bough breaks.
5:33 pm
Nef

ok
5:33 pm
MollyL

We changed the words to a few prayers that I thought were gruesome as well.
5:33 pm
Nef

Now I lay me down to sleep?
5:34 pm
MollyL

Yep. If I die before I wake is pretty dark for kids.
5:34 pm
Nef

there is another version...
5:36 pm
Nef

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
Lord, be with me through the night
And keep me 'til the morning light.
5:36 pm
Nef

how did you change it?
5:37 pm
MollyL

See me safely through the night
And wake me with the morning light

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?
5:38 pm
Minveryork

By the way, congratu;ations to all the finishers! Way to go!
5:38 pm
MollyL

We never ended a Hail Mary with that "hour of our death" line either. Which is why the Catholics don't like me anymore. : )
5:38 pm
MollyL

Hi Min
5:39 pm
Nef

hi Min.
5:40 pm
Nef

I guess I never worried about that line, Molly (in the Hail Mary)
5:40 pm
MollyL

We never asked The Mother to "pray for us sinners" either. As I don't believe we are "sinners".
5:42 pm
Nef

interesting. I guess it all depends on how one looks at things (or the way they were taught?)
5:45 pm
MollyL

How you pray is definitely a personal thing.

re 5/10 is re 4/4 word plus cross letter.An re5/14 word has to do with royalty Michnick.

It was ea 4/6 to babble with ea 4/4 today. I am almost done so here is a story of clues. When I was 18, I fell pa 4/6ionately in love with a man 20 years older than I.Wh 4/9 a mistake that was! I thought he was a great po4/5 because he always wrote mushy love poems. My ma 4/5 and I made a ha 5/16 decision and we eloped 2 months after we met.I really ha4/5ed not having my parents at my wedding, but they did not support our relationship. I got into a whole he4/6 of trouble when I returned from our honeymoon.I got into a he4/5ed argument with my parents. My hubby sugge5/14ed we move to the ea 4/4 coa4/4 to get away from them.He had lots of money so we bought a stylish po 4/6 house in California. I ended up depe4/6ing on him financially and for everything.He ended up being a control freak and a complete jerk.He would te 5/10 and taunt me and tell me that I wouldn't be able to survive without him. I te 4/5ed to think that was true so I stayed w/him even though I was unhappy. My Mother finally made me op 4/5 my ey4/6&I realized that my hubby was a jerk and my whole marriage was a sh4/6.They helped me take the st4/5s I needed to take to end the marriage. When I left husband,I moved back we4/4. I've gotten over the pa 4/5 and moved on. I am so glad that ph5/14 of my life is over.As time go4/6 by, husband is getting more impatient waiting for laptop. I am going t go read The Taming of the Sh5/20. I did not edit this story so there may be some ty5/16. I'll be back later on tonite to ty4/7 my last word. Goodbye for now.

oh boy. everybody is here. Hi uusue

August 18. If we can't pick you up maybe we can stick our heads in and say hi on the way?

mmm. lemme check the schedule. i think newdoc will be back august 16. where is it?

I am not sure if people want to ferry from Vancouver to Victoria and drive more of the island or if they want to ferry from Vancouver to Nanaimo and just drive for one hour instead of 3.

aug 18? too bad. i was thinking of flying out with hego. (just a crazy thought when reading the chog). But our family vacation is aug 19 - 26th

we might, stid, I haven't decided on a route yet, and will probably do different routes coming and going
9:40 pm

Oh Dorens I am so sorry you can't make it with Hego. We set the date later rather than earlier to help with passport issues.

What is your question stid? I live in Courtenay about an hour north of Nanaimo.
9:43 pm
stidmama

ah, that's what I was trying to remember -- I kept thinking Comox, and didn't think it was right. *shakes head* either my memory is going or this is better beer than I thought

I thought we could all gather and visit on the Saturday and then people could take Sunday to go hiking on the mountain or walk the long beaches or canoe or kayak or look for dinosaur fossils or whatever else they want to do while they are here. There are whale watching tours and bears at the dump and eagles everywhere so there is lots to do.

Bugs, Frank has celiac disease so we will probably bring (and buy) his own food for him
9:50 pm
Bugsaw

OK but I have stuff here too. My youngest has celiac. Can he have dairy?
9:50 pm
uusue2

oh, yes, no problem with dairy
9:51 pm

Maybe I have some recipes he has not had before then. We will make sure he has a dessert too.

thanks sue.. but would you please tell stid that I am NOT elegant?
10:03 pm
uusue2

Ha, I wouldn't know elegant if it bit me on the nose! (except Crossy's elegant who I am sure would do no such thing)
10:04 pm
Dorens

and stid, you can check with owl, scrabbler, jmv, nrkii, uneaxiose, even ruru. they all can tell you

10:07 pm
uusue2

well, I am doing this instead of writing physics problems, sigh
10:07 pm
stidmama

sue -- what do you think of the higgs particle discussions the last few days?
10:08 pm
uusue2

well, mostly I read teh
10:08 pm
stidmama

Is there enough evidence to consider this particle likely confirmed? I don't understand the science well enough. yet.
10:08 pm
uusue2

sorry, enter looks too much like backspace, apparently
10:09 pm
uusue2

mostly I read the technical papers, and am pretty familiar with the work (I have participated in two of the four experiments involved - one at Fermilab and one at CERN - although not in this particular analysis)
10:10 pm
stidmama

I remember, that's why I thought you might be able to give me some guidance.
10:10 pm
uusue2

so, yes, I would say it is confirmed, and looks very much like we would expect it to (that is, the fraction of the time it decays in different ways is about what we expect)
10:10 pm
stidmama

That is SO cool!
10:10 pm
uusue2

there is one potential anomaly involving its decay into two photons but there is not nearly enough data to say anything there yet
10:11 pm
uusue2

note that if there are no anomalies it is ultimately kind of boring - we get much more excited when we find things we didn't expect!
10:12 pm
stidmama

LOL sounds like the way I approach gardening (and art)
10:16 pm

pida!!! *faint* so glad to see you!
10:53 pm

Thanks for the story, Min. Sorry, we are watching Max Headroom videos while I play. It's a little distracting...

I r good. U?

I am doing okay, despite the miserable hot weather we've been having.How many more words do you have left pida1
10:55 pm
pida 1

41, but I'm getting ready to go to bed. At my age I need all the beauty sleep I can get
10:55 pm
stidmama

today, pida, our younger son got his learners' permit and I took him out twice to get some time behind the wheel.
10:55 pm
Minveryork

I started thos one early fortunately,so I was able to finish it
10:56 pm
pida 1

Can you beleive the weather. It's cooler in FL then almost anywhere else in the USA
10:56 pm
Minveryork

Congratulations to your son!How does he like driving so far
10:56 pm
Minveryork

Are you teaching him how to drive on automatic or manual
10:56 pm
mkg

ty for y clue. grey y now.
10:56 pm
stidmama

It was a strange sensation, to realize that this gives him one more notch of independence -- or will in a few months! He LOVED it, of course!
10:57 pm
Minveryork

Yabba dabba doo!!!!!!!!
10:57 pm
stidmama

both, but the stick first. He is taking to it like a duck to water. This is the child who dances so beautifully.
10:57 pm
stidmama

go mkg go!
10:58 pm
Minveryork

I believe It is much better to learn on a stick. Once you can drive a stick, you can drive almost anything else. I learned how to drive with a stick. I do not like driving automatics.
10:59 pm
Minveryork

Unfortunately,I think that stick shifts will become obsolete
11:00 pm
Minveryork

Honda car company no longer makes cars with a stick-shift
11:00 pm
stidmama

That's how I feel, Min -- I prefer manual transmissions, but with my joint issues sometimes I really need automatic.
11:01 pm
stidmama

That's a reason to not buy a Honda... although as I said I do need an automatic sometimes. Tom has the automatic.
11:02 pm
stidmama

My van (and the one I had before) have been Honda Odyssey, and I like them, although to be honest when it is just me in it there's too much space. It's useful mostly when I take Grant and his friends places.
11:02 pm
Minveryork

With my commute, it would make sense for me to drive an automatic, but once again,I really do not like to drive one.
11:03 pm
pida 1

Except for sports cars, they will probably all be automatic. Kids nowdays can't talk on their phones or text and change gears at the same time
11:04 pm
Minveryork

I am guilty of that. I DO text and change gears at the same time.
11:04 pm
stidmama

That's true, pida -- I find I am less likely to try to talk on the phone when I have a stick shift to think about.
11:04 pm
stidmama

I have a bluetooth speaker for talking on, but even dialing out is hazardous. I dial at red lights...
11:07 pm
pida 1

I've told everyone that I do not answer the phone when I"m driving. I have a radio on my phone, and if it is an emergency, they can alert me, and I'll stop and call back.
11:08 pm
pida 1

Somehow, we all got along without calls for years, and I guess I'm just old-fashioned.
11:08 pm
pida 1

Or maybe just old......
11:08 pm
Minveryork

My brother and sisters and I learned how to drive on a stick because that is what my parents owned at the time. Now I am the only one left in the family who drives a stick-shift.
11:09 pm
Minveryork

Grandmother even drove a stick-shift up into her eighties.
11:09 pm
stidmama

I got the phone because I was driving on rural roads through meth country with my kids... and had a minor fender bender once at a very suspicious location. After that, the phone was deemed necessary.
11:10 pm
stidmama

And since we don't live in the same town as the children's schools it made sense to get some for them once they were older, too. But for me -- I don't like texting. It's less efficient!
11:10 pm
pida 1

Well, I always have my cell with me. but haave never used all my mins. and I only get 500 mins a month. I like land-lines at work and at home

But when I drive over 60 miles each way for some jobs, having that phone lets me check in with people. I never use my minutes, either. I don't talk much (usually) even with land lines, but I do like to know where people are!

I am a BIG believer in land-line phones. I do not even have my cell phone on when I am home. My phone is very basic.

Didn't even start texting until years after I got a cell phone

Exception: when I was student teaching in middle school, and driving over an hour to get home (sometimes close to two and a half...) I would call my best friend in Virginia and debrief. LOL never talked so much on the phone before or since!

I use my cell phone to call & text. I do not need to have the world wide web at my finger tips at all times.That is what a computer is for. Whatever is on the internet will still be there when I get home.

I agree, Min -- we have a land-line because I know that it most likely to continue to work in an emergency. Then my "work" number is a VOIP phone (through the internet) which automatically forwards to the land line if the power goes out or the cable line is down.

I am really thinking that my next phone will go back to something like the trackphone I started with. All I need is simple phone capability and occasional text messaging when the kid or I are in school because texts are less disruptive. Of course, when I am teaching my phone is actually off... but when I turn it on again texts can reach me sometimes when I don't have a signal strong enough for voice.

Don't turn my phone on at work until lunch time. Hubby gets annoyed because I never have it on.He asks what is the point of having a cell phone if you don't turn it on?

Have thought of getting rid of my land-line to save money.

I think I will head out, too -- now we are watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks, which I managed to get through my life to this point without seeing. LOL Stidkid and Tom decided it was time for me to see it. ((Min)) so glad you were here and able to chat a bit. I hope the weather turns cooler for you soon. I hear the heat is just moving further and further east, and that's not good. Now, since I am completely in the PB, I shall fade out.
