Thanks, Mich! I don't know if we are on the same page, but at least he did not throw a fit.

8:22 am

crosshair

strength and bravery are not about muscle and stature ,it is about a single person,holding their own fear or aprehension at bay long enough to do and to go to other places or to step in and do right when other pause

8:23 am

Michnick

That's a good start. Maybe he can listen.

8:23 am

sciencegeek

He can ponder. Listening is not his best gift. I only told him about informing the school. I left out the part about calling an attorney

8:24 am

Thanks stid, me too. Taking middle daughter, 4, to get her LONG hair cut off today. She's doing a Locks of Love donation with it. :)

12:44 pm

lbdawger

oh how sweet of her, firefly. big hugs to her!

12:44 pm

firefly779

i think NBT is a feat today stid

12:45 pm

stidmama

good for her, firefly! I had thought I was done with those donations because there was so much gray starting with the last one, but since then the hair growing back isn't as gray... so I might have one more donation in me in a couple of years.

12:45 pm

lbdawger

you can do it, Firefly.

12:45 pm

stidmama

It's a good feeling, knowing a child out there will be a little more comfortable just being a kid.

12:45 pm

lilliann

ty lbd

12:48 pm

lilliann

locks of love firefly?

12:49 pm

firefly779

lillian - yes, it's a place to donate ponytails of 10 inches or longer and they make hair pieces (prostheses, not wigs, they stay on better than wigs) for kids with hair loss, usually due to alopecia (sp)

12:51 pm

lilliann

what a brilliant idea, and how lovely of your daughter to donate her hair

12:51 pm

firefly779

my daughter has never had more than an eensy trim to her hair, and only two of those, since birth! She's finally tired of the long hair, despite being a fan of "mermaid hair" (french braiding while wet, sleeping on it, then undoing it for the waves the next morning).

12:52 pm

lilliann

i've never heard of anything like that here

12:52 pm

firefly779

thank you lillian - it was my idea really, when she said it was time to cut it short

12:52 pm

stidmama

what fun, firefly -- well, she can grow it long again, it only takes a couple years.

12:53 pm

firefly779

it is a US based business, but I'm not sure if they would care or not about a long distance donation ;) you just would pay more in shipping it to them I suppose

12:54 pm

firefly779

yes Stid, I am hoping she isn't upset when it's done, but she's been begging to cut it for months, so maybe it's a sign she understands (like I said, her whole life she's had this long hair, never had it cut).

12:54 pm

lilliann

when my friends and i were about 14 we'd plait our hair in tiny plaits and then sleep on them and have frizzy hair the next day

12:54 pm

firefly779

Her older sister has short hair, and has always preferred it that way since about 3.

12:55 pm

lbdawger

as long as you don't make a big deal of how short it is, your daughter will love the short hair. remind her how fast it will dry and how much fun it will be to watch it grow again.

12:55 pm

stidmama

When my hair is long and I braid it, it stays wet for days. *sigh* I don't mind long hair, but in our climate it's just so hard to keep clean.

12:55 pm

firefly779

lillian, indeed! We just do two french braids so it isn't too tight of a wave. :)

12:56 pm

stidmama

so. I am NBT, NBS and halfway. I should get my sorry posterior in gear and get some more work done.

12:56 pm

firefly779

lbd - her biggest concern with it long was the tangles, so hopefully that is abated with the shorter cut :)

12:56 pm

lilliann

it's pouring down with rain here and my road is now a river, i'm hoping i'm not going to get flooded.i'll have to go and put a compost bag infront of the front door.i could do with my daughter's help but she is horse riding and then stoppiong at her grandad's for the night.bbs

12:56 pm

lbdawger

must go shred some taters, be back this evening to chat some more.

12:56 pm

firefly779

congrats stid, good work on the grid

12:56 pm

2:54 pm

KatieMcG

We got a great buy Lilliann but booked in January, our friends booked two days later and had to pay Â£1,000 more and it has now gone up another Â£1,000. We love the permium seats

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

KatieMcG

I first snorkled in Kenya, second only to the maldives in the places I have done it.

2:55 pm

KatieMcG

Twice, wow I'm having competition on the holiday stakes, mind you we have had a good year :)

2:55 pm

stidmama

I used to snorkle in the Caribbean... that was 40 years ago now. *sigh* I miss it.

2:56 pm

lilliann

we could live in jamaica katie.with hubby being self employed and working majority of the year, we can't always book early.we never get a summer holiday now because that is his busiest time. we always had 2-3 holidays a year now it's every christmas

2:56 pm

KatieMcG

ahhh good job you clarified, I was trying to work out how you could cheat

2:57 pm

lilliann

aye, you can't complain about my 2 trips to jamaica with all the hols you're having this year katie..lol

2:57 pm

lilliann

i can't believe a holiday went up Â£1000 in 2 days...it's disgusting!

2:58 pm

KatieMcG

lol lillian it was Ata's 2 Kenyas I was referring to but you are right we are very lucky

2:58 pm

lilliann

2:58 pm

lilliann

2:58 pm

2:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok where is kaite going?

2:59 pm

lilliann

i wish i could go to kenya once :)

2:59 pm

KatieMcG

I know I felt awful, they are still coming. Seemingly we had a discount of Â£1000 rather than it going up, not sure how that is any different though

2:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

ata, how long is the flight for you?

2:59 pm

KatieMcG

Crete in a week for 10 days then Mexico for 2 weeks at Christmas

3:00 pm

3:00 pm

Atalante

3:00 pm

lilliann

i wish i could snorkel now. i use to love it when i was younger

3:00 pm

stidmama

and this is after the trip to Niagara and NYC, katie!

3:01 pm

stidmama

I bet you could, lilliann -- we'll put waterwings on your wheelchair, and instead of racing stripes we'll attach little under-water propellers.

3:02 pm

lilliann

lmao stid

3:02 pm

Atalante

there are lots of diving centres who specialise foe people with disabilities, water is great and floaty

3:02 pm

lilliann

i can just imagine it now :)

3:02 pm

KatieMcG

I know stid. We do the pay the price in other ways because we have just had to replace the kitchen as the oven died and had to do the whole thing ourselves as we couldn't afford to get anyone in. It took us 4 weeks of evening and weekends and nearly killed us

3:03 pm

lilliann

i can swim, but i can't go under water as i can't get water in my ears as i get dizzy.ear plugs help but aren't great

3:03 pm

KatieMcG

Loving the image of waterwings and under-water propellers

3:03 pm

stidmama

what about a diving helmet, lilliann?

3:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow kaite! it seems for US travel is sky high right now if you are flying

3:04 pm

Atalante

I did want to come over to Oregon, but the flight prices are ridiculous

3:04 pm

stidmama

I know Katie -- I read of your troubles... I am dreading re-doing our kitchen. It needs it now, but I need to earn serious money before we can afford to do that.

3:04 pm

stidmama

Yes Atalante, it's crazy at the moment. Well, the next time you come, REALLY want to see you -- missed you twice in a row!

3:04 pm

lilliann

that wouldn't help as i would get pressure in my ears and head. i get dizzy flying when we take off and land because of the pressure in the plane.it is fine once we even out.

3:05 pm

KatieMcG

Mexico seems to have come down in price but everywhere else has gone up we do very little else other than pay for holidays lol

3:05 pm

Atalante

3:05 pm

ata, my next door neighbours have their 2 granddaughters here for a few weeks and they went to a beach today and the youngest who is about 6/7 cmae over this evening to show me a dead crab that they had found in a rock pool, and it was already dead then, but she wanted it so her grandparents put it into a coffee cup. she didn't want to part with it, but it was smelling so i don't know how long it had already been dead

5:04 pm

andrewindrag

sounds like you're a smart lady, Jmc!

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

not really but it is a lot more expensive than even the prestigious private college i went to undergrad

5:04 pm

Atalante

so conflict transformation is when mrs crossy normally throws bread at him but starts throwing ballistic missiles instead?

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

nice grandparents

5:04 pm

crosshair

lol

5:04 pm

Atalante

awwww lili. stick it in vinegar / detergent for a day and it should stop smelling!

5:05 pm

jmcnrick

haha no atalante transformation is when you take the source of the conflict to a point of growth and community

5:05 pm

crosshair

it is a delicate balance ata,no winnders,no loasers,just stalemates and skirmishes over the same mound of scorched earth:) give a bbit here,take a bit there

5:08 pm

lilliann

oh ok, thanks ata, i will tell them tomorrow.i asked her what she was going to do with it, and she said,"i'm going to put it in the bin". if i were the grand parents, i would have told her to leave it where she found it

all kids at the end of marine events want to take home dead crabs and stones. saying that, most "dead crabs" arent actually dead, just bits that have been moulted

5:16 pm

jmcnrick

we had lots of horseshoe crab shells at the house when the boy was young. . . the drive home was sometimes a challenge

5:17 pm

i use to love snakes jmc.when i was in the infants and about5/6 i had a female python around my neck,we were told she was 20 foot long and she wrapped herself around my little body with the two zoo people holding her and she was lovely and i stroked her, but when my ex husband found snakes in our compost heap and chased me arounfd the garden with one, i've never liked them since.it had a red v on its head and when a friend went through our compost heap we hads some with black and some with red v's....if i see a snake now i'm doing wheelies and leaving dust in my wake..lol

5:19 pm

lilliann

5:20 pm

jmcnrick

this is how bad my memory is and how sad my life is, i now have to tell my 12 year old bairn what my passwords are on certain things, as in games, not private stuff as i'd more mortified forgetting them than my personal things! how bad is that!

5:47 pm

crosshair

latin poop even:)

5:47 pm

stidmama

well, I am not sure why I wandered back in, though I am glad to see andrew properly attired... ;-)

5:47 pm

andrew in drag

haha, thanks Stid! does feel good to be nicely dressed again...

5:47 pm

lilliann

wb stid :)

5:47 pm

crosshair

lillian,put all your passwords on a flash key and keep it on a string round your neck or on your key fob

5:48 pm

crosshair

and password the flash key with a easy to remember pw

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

i created a list in yahoo under my name in contacts. . . it all runs together and most is in a code only i would understand like homeaa so that no matter where i am and how long it has been i can find my password

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

the list has gotten really long

5:49 pm

stidmama

anyway, down to 45 and for some reason feeling all at the same time restless and lazy. Maybe I need protein. I think I'll wander off again and try to find something substantial. I STILL have to pack for tomorrow... *sigh*

5:49 pm

crosshair

i use the same password for everything,but add a dynamic number at the end

5:49 pm

HarryHood

50. off to list.

5:49 pm

lilliann

aye ok crossy.i won 't sleep with anything around my neck as when i was 17 i got strangled and i put the keys in a certtain place every day but then the bairn will move them and put them somewhere different and when hubby is home he moves keys and can't remember where he put them

5:49 pm

stidmama

I'll see you all again in a little bit, I am sure. I am using Babble as an excuse to avoid everything else. *poof*

5:49 pm

lynxxx

flash key - good idea - I am sick of forgetting password

5:49 pm

lilliann

bye stid.x

5:50 pm

lol lillian,tie the flash key to a cinder block and keep it by your desk

5:50 pm

5:50 pm

i have three different password basic passwords with variations

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

bye stid

5:50 pm

lilliann

cinder block, is that a brick?

5:50 pm

andrew in drag

I keep all my passwords written down on my computer - good luck if anyone wants to steal from me, because I have noooothing :D

5:51 pm

lilliann

i have 3 different passwords for things but i can't always remember which one i have for what account :(

5:51 pm

lilliann

so i end up having to change them all

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

it is larger and has a hole in the middle http://tinyurl.com/8f94y4x

5:52 pm

flash key?

5:52 pm

crosshair

5:52 pm

crosshair

oh my,

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

usually you are only frozen out on the third try so having 3 should work

5:52 pm

crosshair

it is a "key" that you can load stuff on that plugs into your computers usb ports

5:53 pm

lilliann

no, because sometimes i get them all back to front and mixed up!

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

also called a usb or flash drive

5:53 pm

lilliann

oh a usb

5:53 pm

crosshair

indeed

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

think of a name and put a number in the middle and a punctuation mark at the end and then use it

5:54 pm

lilliann

well why couldn't you say that in the fiorst place crossy...being english/canadian :)

5:54 pm

crosshair

then when a pw escapes you just plug the key in c+p the one you need and you are all set

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

so like: eloise=>elo9ise!

5:54 pm

crosshair

i call them flash keys,my bad

5:54 pm

lilliann

omg, jmc, that, i definitely wouldn't remember

5:55 pm

Atalante

you do, it becomes easy after a while! I do a simialr thing

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

but make it a name you would remember but other's would think about like your mother's name

5:55 pm

6:25 pm

lilliann

my family get annoyed with me, as they are sick of repeating things or i've lost things and it's like "give us a clue with me"

6:25 pm

lilliann

redturtlehead

Lilli, none of us are really the people we were at one point, or the people we recall being, which may or may not be an accurate memory!

6:33 pm

andrew in drag

too true, Red. Personally, I live a real double life, so I think it's very important to be the person you are, rather than the person you were.

6:34 pm

redturtlehead

yes...and really no one wants to hear all about how great you used to be, they want to enjoy you for how great you are now..

6:34 pm

andrew in drag

hear hear! as we all do enjoy you :)

6:35 pm

Hi Molly, sorry I got distracted, I had a very nice date. Kind of a surprise.

6:56 pm

lilliann

6:58 pm

Christine

I grew up in Clapton, then we moved to Hackney. I miss London, but not the weather. I have two sisters, one with her family in London, the other with her family in NZ, so we're blessed to have the computers.

6:58 pm

lilliann

can i ask all my american/canadian friends, what is a chicken pot pie? is it chicken with pastry on top?

6:59 pm

Christine

yumm .. yes it is, with some veggies - peas and such, and a creamy white gravy. Just what would hit the spot, right now.

6:59 pm

lilliann

i lived near croydon.do you get to see your sisters much christine or their familiess?

7:01 pm

lilliann

so do they cook it in one big pot christine as in deep and then pastry on top(short crust)?

7:01 pm

Christine

Judith, in NZ sometimes visits, on her way to or from London. My sister in London I last saw when I went home for my Mum's funeral. I'm hoping to have a hip replacement, and another knee replacement, in the next year, then I hope to be mobile, enough to go home in 2014.

7:02 pm

lilliann

sounds lovely, i could just eat some now with some home grown new potatoes, asparagus, green beans and carrots

7:04 pm

lilliann

sorry about your mam and i hope all goes well with your knee and hip replacements so you can visit your sister.

7:12 pm

MollyL

Chicken pot pie is prepared in a pie pan. Crust on the bottom, chicken, peas, carrots, potatoes and chicken gravy inside and crust on the top. It's considered comfort food by many.

7:16 pm

lilliann

oh ok thanks molly. we would just call that a chicken pie.we cook pies on plates with the pastrie top and bottom or in foil trays.if i was cooking a puff pastry pie then i have deep ceramic dishes and cook the filling and then place the puff pastry on top and put ion oven to puff. i like cheese,onion and bacon pie(short crust pastry) my mam always cooked it for us when we were younger. it's nice hot or cold

7:16 pm

Jillyjill

yummy!! #1 son has requested my home-made mac and cheese tonight. :-)

7:17 pm

lilliann

we wouldn't normally put potatoes in pies. peas and sweetcorn we do

7:18 pm

lilliann

sound nice jill, now i'm hungry and it has gone 1am here, so i can't eat :(

7:18 pm

wvteach

don't use potatoes either - also i don't like a bottom crust, just use a top crust and make it in a casserole dish - also make it with dumplings on top (#1 sons favorite)

7:21 pm

lilliann

do you just have one type of pastry, as in short crust or do you use puff pasty aswell?

7:22 pm

lilliann

i must admit teach, i prefer just pastry top whatever pastry. i love stew and dumplings, i must admit i make a wicked stew

7:23 pm

wvteach

maybe because i don't think i make good crusts i only like one crust - but even with fruit pies i will scrape the fruit off the bottom crust and leave it

7:23 pm

MollyL

The term "pot pie" actually came from the British and was continued here by American colonists. It's generally made from standard pie crust and not puff pastry, but as you can see from responses here, people improvise.

7:23 pm

wvteach

what do you do with your stew

7:28 pm

lilliann

if i have dumplings i have to make a stew, which is cubed beef,pearl barley,dried peas and lentils,sprouts,chopped carrots,cubed swede,(hubby) likes cubed potatoes and i add a big spoonful of marmite, balsamic vinegar,worcester sauce ,beef oxo cubes and water

7:30 pm

wvteach

do you use all three - dried peas, barley and lentils (i have used one or the other but not all three) - and what is marmite may i ask

7:30 pm

lilliann

let it cook in oven or on top of hobb for a couple of hours until the meat is falling apart and then put dumplings ontop for 20 minutes until cooked.you might havr to keep adding water as the pearl barley soaks it up, but then i'll add a bit more worcester sauce, water and some more marmite

7:31 pm

lilliann

yes, i use all 3, we get them in a pack here, it's called a broth mix, which up north where i live the broth mix is used with gammon and cooked slowly for a couple of hours

7:32 pm

lilliann

marmite is similar to vegemite

7:32 pm

MollyL

*Wonders if Lilliann thinks I forgot about mushy peas*

7:32 pm

lilliann

it's a beefy yeast extract

7:32 pm

lilliann

i hate mushy peas

7:33 pm

lilliann

pffftttt molly :)

7:34 pm

lilliann

bovril is similar, and i hate that too

7:35 pm

lilliann

teach, it will be the same as pot pie, people will cook and add different things to their stews

7:35 pm

lilliann

i'm throwing mushy peas at molly as we speak :)

7:37 pm

MollyL

Ooo, it's like The Exorcist in here.

7:38 pm

redturtlehead

Oh wow, we wanted our chapliain to exorcise a patient today.

7:38 pm

7:40 pm

hi all...back for a bit...

7:40 pm

Massive doses of Thorazine weren't working?

7:40 pm

lilliann

i take it, it didn't then

7:40 pm

lilliann

hi champ

7:40 pm

ChampFit

Hi. I see we're cooking...sounds yummy!

7:40 pm

redturtlehead

Could not give that pt any meds...yo know we dont use thorasine too much any more, if at all ! LOL....

7:41 pm

ChampFit

I had a friend tell me just the other day that he thought he had been in the presence of a demon. he was still freaked about it.

7:42 pm

redturtlehead

I have 54 left and am struggling, am I having a problem?

7:42 pm

ChampFit

I have 60

7:42 pm

MollyL

Really? You don't sedate over agitated patients?

7:43 pm

lilliann

not surprising champ, why did he think there was a demon by him?

7:43 pm

redturtlehead

with certain heart conditions, we can not sedate because it will exacerbate the heart problem, so the pt got to be agitated, its rare, but it does happen...

7:43 pm

ChampFit

I didn't get to hear the whole story. We have a date to catch up. He went and prayed with some friends, and felt better after that. Sounds scary!

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

that does sound scary Champ. I can not even imagine.

7:44 pm

ChampFit

I know!

7:44 pm

lilliann

well, aslong as he feels safer now, that's the main thing

7:45 pm

ChampFit

Agreed. he's a great guy. He "died" of a heart attack, saw the light, the whole nine yards, several years ago. He didn't get spiritual till a few years after that. So I believe he's sincere.

7:47 pm

ChampFit

Is anyone having any better luck with the bottom N than I am? I have a whopping 1/4.

7:49 pm

redturtlehead

I have No N.

7:49 pm

wvteach

have 4/4 - but will need to sort out where the Ns came from - will check

7:49 pm

lilliann

when i worked in a pychiatric hospital when i was 17 one of our porters died and came back and he said the same, he saw a light and fields of flowers and wanted to go further in but chose to come back

7:49 pm

ChampFit

Terry just told me that he has no fear of dying at all. So nice!

7:49 pm

lilliann

nu6 is a brazil or almond and consumed

7:50 pm

I think anyone who would share that seriously would be afraid and not kidding because we know people will think that you are nuts.

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

i was just playing words with friends and it was okay except my computer freezes from time to time with it and other games

8:54 pm

mab

mental health is still seen as distinct from physical health - this somewhat amazes me as a MDD person myself.

8:54 pm

Nef

good to know, stid; I thought it was just me.

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

MDD?

8:55 pm

mab

major depressive disorder

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

nef you are a saint. . . first your DH and then the aunt and now the grandson? when does Nef had time for herself?

8:55 pm

Shirlockc

hot man date? who where when? deets!

8:56 pm

mab

i'm a bit behind the conversation here as my connection went down briefly

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

ah ty and pardon if it was rude of me to ask. . .i suffer from depression but i suspect it is not major since i taught myself coping mechanism

8:56 pm

Jillyjill

HI shirl!

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

hi shirl that is what i want to know! red fess up please

8:57 pm

mab

mine doesn't work that way. oh yes, hot men!

8:57 pm

lbdawger

hi shirl, hi JMC and hi MAB

8:57 pm

Shirlockc

i have no shame -- i live vicariously thru others

8:57 pm

mab

i'd be satisfied with just one.

8:58 pm

lbdawger

omg, are you my doppleganger, shirl?

8:58 pm

stidmama

hot men???? WHERE?????

8:58 pm

mab

oh no! I feel a riot about to break out!

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

*starts looking in cupboard for red* yohoooooo reeeeed!

8:59 pm

lbdawger

i'm too tired to have to chase anything

8:59 pm

o-o

Hot men do nothing for me .... may a bag of ice?

8:59 pm

Nef

she better not have gone to bed and left us hanging here waiting on this!

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

i would stand still if a hot man chased after me

8:59 pm

Shirlockc

it's a sad world out there for single women

8:59 pm

lbdawger

hiya BR! posted a new rose in my profile.

8:59 pm

mab

Reeeeeeeeee-eeeed, oh Reeeee-eeeed

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

*gives BR a 10 # bag of ice* will that do?

9:00 pm

Jillyjill

Red, calling Red....details...

9:00 pm

lbdawger

brb

9:00 pm

jmcnrick

who can look at who's online? i have been blocked from it for about a year now

9:00 pm

stidmama

and done...

9:00 pm

Nef

she's not online anymore! :-(

9:01 pm

o-o

I am not a hot man .... was thinking of cooling down the ones the women here have hormonal overload for

9:01 pm

Jillyjill

alas, Red not online

9:01 pm

MollyL

Nef, prayers out for your daughter and grandson.

9:01 pm

mab

blocked? how very odd. or did you abuse the who's online feature, jmc?

9:01 pm

Nef

how does one get blocked from that, jmc?

9:01 pm

rururocks

how about a lukewarm guy?

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

dang! that's no fair sneaking in a comment about a hot date and then leaving

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

no clue. . . i can't go to who's online or my friends.

9:02 pm

mab

a warm, tender, lovely man would be nice.

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

my mistake BR. . . you can pass the ice around the room and i will pour some cold earl gray tea. . .

9:02 pm

rururocks

actually JM ..we're not really here...

9:02 pm

mab

with a sense of humor, or course.

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

well that lets out ru. . .

9:02 pm

o-o

bible: So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

9:03 pm

Shirlockc

i've done the online thing

9:03 pm

mab

besides the fact he's married

9:03 pm

jmcnrick

a great quote for explaining passion

9:03 pm

jmcnrick

well if you are not really here then i have a wonderful imagination!

9:03 pm

Shirlockc

and they all want to chat/email before meeting in person -- call me shallow, but i want to get the meeting over with BEFORE i invest the online time

9:04 pm

rururocks

that you do jm... run with it

9:04 pm

Shirlockc

i just think you can talk/chat online forever and if there's no chemistry, then why bother?

9:04 pm

Jillyjill

I agree, mine time is valuable

9:04 pm

jmcnrick

i did it a few times too. . . but i spend so much time making things up in the chog i really don't have time to make chit-chat with someone on a dating service

9:05 pm

o-o

If one has no passion for life, why bother?

9:05 pm

jmcnrick

well think of it this way shirl. . . think of the relationships you built here. . .was that a waste of time?

9:05 pm

Shirlockc

right, so why should i invest the time with you virtually if in the end we have no chemistry? which we'd know ONLY if we meet face to face

9:06 pm

jmcnrick

i would say you should bother because sometimes passion will return. i am reminded of the all the bleak times in mother teresa's diaries

9:06 pm

jmcnrick

you don't feel like you know any of us well enough?

9:06 pm

Jillyjill

I loved that book jmc...really helped me through dark time to know she struggled too..

9:07 pm

Shirlockc

the few times i did, invest the time online, have been burned as the person in person was NOT what he said online

9:07 pm

mab

i ought to read that.

9:07 pm

rururocks

*giggles*

9:07 pm

mab

what

9:08 pm

mab

what giggles

9:08 pm

MollyL

Scoop...earlier, Red said it was a nice date, that she was surprised by that and "we'll see where it goes". That is all I know.

9:08 pm

jmcnrick

well when i first became a quaker i read a diary of a well-known quaker woman who talked about all the times she felt nothing and spoke anyway. . . she talked about how after time the passion came back

9:08 pm

o-o

Oh, maybe I should hire mother teresa. My treatment team tells me maybe I need to accept I will not get better.

9:08 pm

rururocks

shirl's comment mab.. not yours

9:08 pm

jmcnrick

ty molls

9:08 pm

jmcnrick

well BR i spend a lot of time in meeting for worship meditating over the serenity prayer

9:09 pm

mab

i think she is dead, br.

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

i suppose i am not as much fun in person as i rarely wear foil caps and shake my booty in the nude

9:09 pm

rururocks

I like being agitated

9:09 pm

rururocks

I'm more creative that way

9:09 pm

o-o

dead .... could do worse

9:09 pm

mab

how odd of a tx team.

9:10 pm

MollyL

I agree with Shirl, people should be very careful about meeting people in person that they have "met" on line. A brief meeting at first to test the water is the best way. Never, ever, make a first meeting any longer than that.

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

i was referring to her diaries which were published after her death

9:10 pm

Shirlockc

coffee in starbucks that's the best first meeting

9:11 pm

rururocks

I don't meet people at coffee houses anymore...for good reason

9:11 pm

Shirlockc

what happened ruru?

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

well i flew out to portland and stayed with a woman i met on line doing counseling for returned PTSD vets and got picked up by pinikula and drove to olympia and stayed in a hotel with jilli pini and who? flosey?

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

hahahahaha ru has coffeehouseaphobia

9:12 pm

rururocks

lattephobia

9:12 pm

Nef

I want to know who he met in one! ;-)

9:12 pm

MollyL

Always be sure if you are going to meet in a coffee house that it's with someone who knows how to dial your phone number.

9:13 pm

rururocks

ROFL LMAO

9:13 pm

Jillyjill

Gotta be a good story there ru...

9:13 pm

rururocks

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

ru and kje were suppose to meet at a coffee house and depending on who you believe one of them screwed it up or both of them did

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

ruru must be down for the count!

9:14 pm

lbdawger

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

villalattephobia has a better ring

9:15 pm

rururocks

uh.. jmc.. and who was AT the coffee shop and WHO wasn't?

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

villattephobia?

9:15 pm

MollyL

Oh man, HE stood HER up? Since when is that the story?

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

i am not taking sides ru. . . i want to meet you both next time i am in SF

9:16 pm

rururocks

lbd is delusional..

9:16 pm

lbdawger

oh, got it wrong, he got left behind at the coffee house

9:16 pm

rururocks

9:16 pm

rururocks

lbdawger

rururocks

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

twp? the washington post? township?

9:17 pm

mab

have you still not met kje, ru?

9:17 pm

rururocks

we have lousy donut shops here

9:17 pm

Jillyjill

How about gin?

9:18 pm

rururocks

no Mab.. not yet..

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

see shirl there is a man that knows me already! hahaha

9:18 pm

Shirlockc

should be simpler -- donuts or pie and I'd be tempted to linger

9:18 pm

Shirlockc

and a bad meeting would ruin the pastry

9:18 pm

Shirlockc

can't have ruined pastry experience

9:18 pm

lbdawger

or sushi...a good sushi place with all you can eat...i'd be there forever!

9:18 pm

rururocks

i do eclair you're right shirl

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

well after her orientation meeting maybe y'all can get together

9:19 pm

Shirlockc

9:19 pm

lbdawger

and it wouldn't matter if he didn't show up or it turned out bad.

9:19 pm

Shirlockc

i do nut want bad donuts

9:19 pm

o-o

sushi is good fish bait

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

terrible to have a tart conversation you can't leave

9:19 pm

rururocks

I wouldn't show up at a sushi place either.

9:20 pm

Shirlockc

a sushi place could be fishy

9:20 pm

rururocks

I would like to have my cake and eat it too however

9:20 pm

lbdawger

*sigh* i may never meet ruru. :-(

9:20 pm

rururocks

I hate sushi.. (sides with BR)

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

lbd you will have to retire some day! then i will drive to your town and pick you up and we will go to SF together

9:21 pm

Jillyjill

Love sushi!!

9:21 pm

MollyL

I will never understand why people eat raw fish.

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

raw fish in cerviche is my favorite fish

9:21 pm

Shirlockc

i do like sushi too

9:21 pm

Jillyjill

First sushi nearly 40 years ago....

9:21 pm

rururocks

I imagine they flounder around it

9:22 pm

lbdawger

good sushi isn't fishy, and the texture is buttery. but it is an acquired taste and sensation.

9:22 pm

o-o

Beautiful roses, lbd

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

then lbd if we are having a good time we will drive north to oregon and olympia and maybe even canada

9:22 pm

rururocks

yeah if you're a grizzly bear

9:22 pm

Shirlockc

these food puns are making me hungry

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

holy makeral ru!

9:22 pm

lbdawger

9:23 pm

rururocks

<--- imagines LBD smacking a raw salmon on the rocks

9:23 pm

MollyL

A grizzly bear, or Gollum.

9:23 pm

mab

if i ever return to dc to live, as i intend to do, we must meet, jmc. maybe i could do volunteer work for your organization.

9:23 pm

Jillyjill

*hoping jmc and lbd will pick me up on their way*

9:23 pm

rururocks

ROFL molly

9:23 pm

lbdawger

i love salmon sushi!

9:23 pm

lbdawger

you'd be on the way, Jilly

9:23 pm

jmcnrick

sure jilly the more the merrier (and the more people to share the gasoline tab!)

9:23 pm

Jillyjill

favorite is unagi...second maguro

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

i love salmon anyway

9:24 pm

lbdawger

love maguro! had the best in Denver last november.

9:24 pm

mab

salmon is good almost any way it's prepared.

9:24 pm

Jillyjill

We could take my hybrid Fusion jmc...

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

that would be great mab! that assumes, of course, i get this thing really up and running. . .this week i sent the forms to the irs

9:24 pm

rururocks

my brother used to give me unagi's all the time when we were kids

9:25 pm

lbdawger

i don't like smoked salmon. at least the stuff i've had was too salty and couldn't taste the salmon.

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

that is probably the responsible thing to do jilly but my saab is more fun

9:25 pm

mab

lox? oh my, i love lox.

9:25 pm

Jillyjill

I agree...except for cream cheese and lox!!

9:25 pm

rururocks

nooooo a saaaab?

9:25 pm

o-o

I like rutabaga, horseradish and peanut butter on wafers

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

properly smoked salmon is great. . . too bad yours was overly smoked and salty

9:26 pm

rururocks

<leaves to puke

9:26 pm

lbdawger

lox is different. it's not salty nor is it smokey. thinly sliced with a slice of bagel.

9:26 pm

mab

over the saab?

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

that actually sounds good BR i am very found of lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and peanut butter sandwiches

9:26 pm

Jillyjill

Stuffed to the gills from dinner and this conversation is making me HUNGRY!!

9:27 pm

mab

lox, smoked salmon - same, no!

9:27 pm

lbdawger

no, mab.

9:27 pm

jmcnrick

ru you know i have a saab. . . it was my icon for a while and i call it my ticket me red car

9:27 pm

mab

9:27 pm

rururocks

9:27 pm

pida 1

9:27 pm

jmcnrick

haha

9:27 pm

Jillyjill

ROFL..ruru you outdid yourself

9:27 pm

rururocks

how do you get a ticket in the saab when they have to be towed all the time to the repair shop?

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

nice pida i have never tried that . . . now i have two different things to try

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

mine has not been repaired for more than 3 years. . . only oils changes

9:28 pm

mab

oh dear, ru has opinions on everything.

9:28 pm

rururocks

LOL

9:28 pm

rururocks

sorry

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

well to be fair i could have had it repaired. . .

9:29 pm

rururocks

my wife had a saab.. and it spent more time in the shop than on the road

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

but i used binder clips to hold up the underplate and saved a fortune

9:29 pm

mab

the saab is of scandinavian origin?

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

i had a friend who had a jag like that

9:29 pm

rururocks

all the tow truck drivers new her by her first name

9:30 pm

rururocks

knew

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

the saab is a scandinavian car that has sadly gone out of business

9:30 pm

mab

i have no car at all. it's terribly sad.

9:30 pm

rururocks

(for good reason)

9:30 pm

Jillyjill

Okay, my time for unusual combos....I love taking garden fresh tomatoes, and onions, chop them up and mix them in cottage cheese....

9:30 pm

o-o

I had my favorite car for 21 years and would have kept it longer if I had not had to search salvage yards for parts ..... 70,000 miles on it

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

it has gone out of business for the same reason it is safe from being stolen. . . no one knows how to drive a stick anymore

9:31 pm

rururocks

she got it repaired once and got it 3 minutes from the repair shop and it blew up again

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

only 70,000 miles???? in 21 years?

9:31 pm

mab

my car was about that old when I donated it to charity.

9:31 pm

Jillyjill

I can drive a stick jmc....I can help drive!!

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

what kind of car was it?

9:31 pm

rururocks

whoa BR

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

yay jilly!

9:32 pm

rururocks

9:32 pm

o-o

P would rather drive a car than a stick

9:32 pm

rururocks

BR is a clutch hitter

9:32 pm

9:33 pm

jmcnrick

9:33 pm

mab

i wouldn

9:34 pm

jmcnrick

*thinks about looking for a word in the grid*

9:34 pm

mab

I wouldn't turn down any car actually. if someone wanted to give me one, that is

9:34 pm

lbdawger

i love manual shifts. I wish the jeep had a stick. save on gas!

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

my sister says all the studies show that automatics are more cost effective but i don't believe it

9:35 pm

Jillyjill

Just heard from uusue, she's about 6 hours out and myself and harp should be able to meet up tomorrow!!

9:35 pm

lbdawger

my jeep is a 98 got it off the lot with 6 miles on it. it now has 75+k miles on it.

9:35 pm

rururocks

9:35 pm

rururocks

I'd love to meet more babble people

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

9:36 pm

o-o

Got over twenty on the highway about fourteen in town and averaged less than 3,400 a year

9:36 pm

Jillyjill

All the cars and trucks we've owned were sticks up until the Fusion hybrid

9:36 pm

lbdawger

give her my best, Jilly. wish i could be with you all tomorrow.

9:36 pm

mab

i don't think that's true today jmc.

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

which mab?

9:36 pm

Jillyjill

So do I dawg!

9:36 pm

mab

that manuals are more cost effective

9:37 pm

mab

i prefer them, but i think the technology on either kind of transmission is roughly comparable

9:37 pm

jmcnrick

well when the transmission is shot it is cheaper to fix a manual if nothing else. . .and in an emergency you have more control over the car. . .AND (and to me most important) they are more fun to drive

9:38 pm

mab

i quite agree

9:38 pm

lbdawger

definitley more fun to drive! had a 64 mustang and boy howdy, that baby was fun!

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

when i can't drive a stick anymore i will quit driving

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

dang i would have given my eye teeth for a 64 1/2 mustang

9:39 pm

mab

somewhat tiresome in city driving however

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

but had about 8 miles per gallon mileage

9:39 pm

Jillyjill

I had a '68 Fiat spider...used to clutch start it...lived on a hill...lol brings back memories

9:39 pm

o-o

Bankrate says, "No." For the average driver under the average conditions, there is little difference.

For drivers in everyday situations, a manual transmission is not likely to provide any difference in fuel economy over an automatic transmission. The reason is that to achieve the optimum fuel efficiency a driver has to execute shifts at precise engine rpms (revolutions per minute). Given the challenges of city driving conditions, most drivers won't be able to realize greater fuel economy with a manual gearbox.

One consideration, however, is that usually an automatic transmission costs extra, which could factor into the buying decision. On the flip side, the majority of new vehicles aren't even offered with a manual transmission.

9:39 pm

lbdawger

i cried when my dad sold it. practically gave it away! boooo hooooo

9:40 pm

rururocks

mustangs are worth a fortune now

9:40 pm

jmcnrick

it doesn't bother me to drive in the city

9:40 pm

jmcnrick

ty BR that means my sister is wrong. . .she said that automatics are more fuel efficient so i can drive my manual guilt free

9:40 pm

o-o

the ones that escape the glue factory?

9:41 pm

rururocks

that's because your license plate says DIE!.. and people get out of your way jm...lol

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

taught my boy to drive a stick on a hideous 1983 baby blue convertible mustang

9:41 pm

Jillyjill

I think manuals last longer...my 92 Blazer had 200,000 miles on it!

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

my license plate says taxation without representation!

9:42 pm

Jillyjill

One son can drive manual and has one, second son just couldn't get the hang of it...he could drive one in an emergency...but I doubt he ever owns one...

9:42 pm

lbdawger

my toyota corolla had over 100,000 on it. loved that little beasty. didn't know it was a 4 cylander, and could go places 4 wheelers couldn't get to.

9:43 pm

o-o

the olds has an automatic that I never had a problem with over the 21 years

9:43 pm

mab

I've even driven in left side of the road countries - manual

9:43 pm

jmcnrick

so often it is the driver with that lbd. . . my boy was using his jeep to tow ambulances out of snow drift during one blizzard

9:43 pm

lbdawger

i bet you treated that olds like a cherished lover, BR

9:44 pm

jmcnrick

that probably had more to do with maintaining it and not driving more than 100,000 miles BR

9:44 pm

o-o

the engine had many more miles to give

9:44 pm

jmcnrick

its good when you find a car that suits you. . .

9:45 pm

Jillyjill

BRB...

9:45 pm

o-o

I know a bit about cars ..... am ignoring the naysayers

9:46 pm

o-o

time to adios

9:46 pm

lbdawger

keeping good maintenance on a vehicle is imperative to it running well. I hate to spend the mega bucks, but I also can't afford to buy a new car.

9:47 pm

lbdawger

have a good night, BR

9:47 pm

mab

bye br

9:47 pm

jmcnrick

bye BR. . . good to have you around tonight
