i didn't realize you need a passport to go to canada for god's sake
12:51 am
dart001
oh yeah..they did change that a few years ago i guess
12:51 am
VolleymomDee
only after 9/11
12:52 am
VolleymomDee
leaving isn't the prob; getting back in is
12:52 am
dart001
just renewed mine in case i was going back to newfoundland for time number 6 (i'm not this year at least)
12:53 am
VolleymomDee
I loved niagara on the canadian side... need to get mine updated maybe... actually, I think when we went, birth certificates were sufficient
12:53 am
dart001
not sure when it changed...but even after 9/11 i think you could still do a driver's license for a while
12:53 am
dart001
a few years ago they changed it to passports or that other card you can get
12:54 am
VolleymomDee
driver's lic and birt cert I think you are right, dart
12:54 am
VolleymomDee
not familiar with the other card
12:56 am
dart001
it is cheaper than a full passport...but i think you are limited to just driving into canada and mexico...don't think it works for airlines or cruise lines etc
12:56 am
VolleymomDee
may have to check into that, since I don't cruise or fly anymore...we would be driving if we went
12:57 am
dart001
they list san fran as an area you can get one in 24 hrs...not sure if that is for first timers or everyone
12:57 am
VolleymomDee
just found out today that the house next to us has been sold (sans realtor)... they started moving in today... lol we had not officially met the old neighbors
12:58 am
VolleymomDee
w/o kids, I think it is tougher to meet neighbors
12:59 am
rbud
we started out here with the lot our house is on, and have now bought a total of four more around us - we own the whole block except for the old falling-down bar at the end. No other buildings.
12:59 am
dart001
i agree...we have had that problem too
1:00 am
rbud
no neighbor worries for us! :D
1:00 am
VolleymomDee
I can understand that rb... hubby doesn't want anyone too close and he doesn't want view across pond blocked... he was spoiled with the river and the protected land at our other house
1:00 am
VolleymomDee
folks wave, but I still don't know many of their names
1:01 am
VolleymomDee
fortunately, we already know the new owner; which will be kinda nice
1:02 am

when the realtor first drove us up the block, you couldn't see the house for the trees around it, Hubby said "Sold!" halfway up the block, lol

it's pretty paint, too, I like it.
1:11 am
flosey
what colour is it rbud
1:13 am
rbud
it's "dusty rose" - Hubs says it's "ew, pink", but it's not really that bright
1:13 am
VolleymomDee
tell him it's Victorian :)
1:13 am
rbud
and all the new trim is fresh and "country white", whatever that means.
1:13 am
flosey
lovely, our bedroom is a dusty rose, navy drapes etc
1:13 am
VolleymomDee
I love white trim a bunch... sounds lovely
1:14 am
flosey
so many shades of white
1:14 am
rbud
in fact I still have one last door to trim, but I painted all the trim pieces already so I'll only have the nails to fill and touch up.

1:18 am

6 is cassava... 7 add a vowel at the end... reminds me of pudding that has "beadlike" substance in it...
1:19 am

4:20 am
Marc Freeman
sorry the clue did not work for me.
4:22 am

4:56 am
Flask1

4:57 am
NonoNanette

Put a different vowel at the end of the crazy person
11:27 am
cybernan
duh -- the easiest of the bunch! girl who milks the cow!
11:27 am
car.eeyore
Now change the last vowel of the mental illness for another ma 6/24
11:27 am
jan
Then, ru, you're looking for the more common spelling of the Isrealite food
11:28 am
car.eeyore
<snap> Molly!
11:28 am

11:29 am
rururocks
that gave me the ma 6
11:29 am
cybernan
anyone want clues before I leave?
11:29 am
jan
And a vowel on that one will generate the ma/7, if you need it.
11:29 am
car.eeyore
What do you need rurur?
11:29 am
cybernan
ma 6 x2 -- change last vowel for the other
11:30 am
jan
One's a nut, one's a root.
11:31 am
jan
And the change in final vowel changes the pronunciation of the first vowel.
11:31 am
cybernan

3:56 pm
lbuxx
right.. why didn't i think of that?
3:56 pm
Riverdance
no furniture needed here and we have enough totes to move out of our house....but the pain med, alergy med, cough med, shampoo, laundry detergent etc etc etc costs a fortune
3:57 pm
lbuxx

4:00 pm
Soodle
I'm very lucky. Daughter #1 can live at home whilst attending college. Hopefully daughter # 2 can do the same.
4:00 pm
Riverdance
my daughter does not want to live at home...college is only a half hour away....while it would be alot cheaper I think it does teach them some responsibility to be away....
4:02 pm
Riverdance
she had her stumbling points last year but all in all she did well with shopping for herself for those toiletry items and getting what she needed to eat while fulfilling her studies...She will have a much tougher year this year with her schedule. Many late night classes.
4:02 pm
Riverdance
I will keep her out of trouble
4:03 pm
andrew in drag
Good Enough - I saw in your profile that you recently read 'Freedom' - is that the Jonathan Franzen novel? If so, I -loved- it

Riverdance
oops hubbys home, I better scoot...he hates me on the computer

I can't say i loved it Andrew. He got pretty wordy in the middle. Would have enjoyed the story more had it been trimmed a bit.
4:04 pm
Riverdance
I will sneak in later..have a great night everyone
4:05 pm
Good Enough
bye river
4:05 pm
andrew in drag
I think I like that, Good :) English is my second language, so I like wordy things. Helps my vocabulary! I love his characterisation though. Definitely a strength.
4:07 pm
andrew in drag
Although I do agree - could have been a shorter book by far!
4:07 pm
Good Enough
with that i would agree! and when I like a story I usually don't mind but in this case it just annoyed me. perhaps my state of mind at the time
4:09 pm
andrew in drag
Possibly, although I can certainly see what you mean! It did slow the story down a little. I enjoyed his first novel a lot though. Bizarre books, I think.
4:09 pm
lbuxx
i think living away from home def makes them grow up.. i could see a change everytime she came home last year..
4:10 pm
