1:23 am
VolleymomDee
our daughter and her hubby bought a boat; they have an American bulldog, who hates water (breed is not known for swimming), so they bought her a life preserver for dogs...
1:24 am
taylorfan2012
what is that?
1:24 am
VolleymomDee
pics of the dog riding in the front of the boat with a vest... really made us chuckle
1:24 am

1:28 am
rururocks
thanks granny for the email
1:29 am
VolleymomDee
totally makes sense
1:29 am
grannyrose
she's off to her daughter's for 2 days and nights.
1:29 am
VolleymomDee
nice! Does her daughter live close?
1:29 am
grannyrose
np's ruru.
1:30 am
grannyrose
daughter lives about 30 minutes away. so still within range if we/i am ne4ed in a hurry.
1:30 am
VolleymomDee
that's nice, rose. Does she not visit her daughter very often?
1:31 am
grannyrose
no dee, she hates going there...because she's away from me. :(
1:32 am
VolleymomDee
wow, you must be an amazing caregiver; what a nice compliment for you!
1:32 am
grannyrose
lol, she says living with me is like having a Dr. 24/7 around her. she feels so safe when i am here.
1:34 am
VolleymomDee
that totally makes sense, granny; I feel that way when we vacation with my brother (who was a doc before he went into the ministry).... extra feeling of security
1:34 am
dart001
volley, sorry about the delay doing emails, going up there for the weekend. Maybe a Twins/KC game, shopping, restaurants, etc nothing really planned out yet except hotel.
1:36 am
VolleymomDee
sounds ike a fun time; I love unplanned vacations.... totally relaxing.
1:36 am
VolleymomDee
what's the weather going to be there?
1:36 am
dart001
depends on whether the rain from isaac gets that far west
1:37 am
dart001
chance of rain fri/sat..sunny on sunday/monday
1:38 am
VolleymomDee
hopefully, it will miss you
1:38 am
dart001
other than the baseball game...we can work around it
1:38 am
VolleymomDee
we are hoping to meet more of our neighbors Monday at a neighborhood picnic, but we'll see what happens weather wise
1:39 am

fireworks! last word was a de4 that uses the high point letter. looked it up. actually a word I could slip into conversation perhaps.
1:41 am
grannyrose
WTG ROSES!!!!!
1:41 am
VolleymomDee
wtg rose!
1:42 am
Roses6
yeah, rare for me. (take a bow.)
1:42 am
Roses6
meant takes.
1:42 am
grannyrose
lol, of course you would, if you are a hockey player.
1:43 am
Roses6
tomorrow will be waiting all day til 10 PM and a new grid.
1:43 am
Roses6
is it a usual hockey word granny?
1:43 am
VolleymomDee
that's right... word was used in the hockey movies with Estevez... Mighty Ducks
1:44 am
grannyrose
i have decided after much consideration ad observance of how many sports players come through our operating suite that....sport is definitely harmful to your health.
1:44 am
Roses6
maybe I can use it in petanque somehow. get creative. LOL
1:45 am
VolleymomDee
totally agree, granny
1:45 am
dart001
injured doing sports...or years later taking a toll
1:48 am
VolleymomDee
I would think both... our daughhter injured one knee and an ankle in high school and college v ball... was told at time of injury, she would end up with arthritis in both of those joints...
1:49 am
grannyrose
so true, dart. 42 years of working totally on my feet, played competition tennis until i was 18, did ballet until about the same time. all leg joints totally stuffed. gee...i wonder how that happened?
1:50 am
VolleymomDee
:( so sorry, granny. Orthopod told us that some of the problem with women in sports is the trainers push them to do exercises that are beyond the capability of their ages... said there were others she could have done to accomplish same strenghthening that would not have caused injury... really absurd when you think about it
1:52 am
grannyrose
it is absurd, dee. why can't these young women just enjoy the sport of their choice, without being pushed to their limits?
1:53 am
VolleymomDee
I am all for the competition and discipline, just not pushing to injury.
1:53 am
grannyrose
it seems if you show just an inkling of better than most, you MUST be pushed to do better.
1:55 am
VolleymomDee
part of the Japanese mentality across the world. I will say all of those characteristics (competition, hard work, discipline, setting goals and pushing) truly has helped our daughter succeed now...so it is an interesting phenomena
1:56 am
dart001
seems like now....too organized too young.....when I grew up we all played baseball/basketball/hockey etc during the season in neighborhood games....you didn't get serious until 8th or 9th grade...now they are in leagues and doing 4 nights a week and traveling when they are 8 yrs old....no time to be a kid anymore
1:56 am
VolleymomDee
hubby's knee issue is directly related to the years he played basketball and worked in construction
1:57 am
VolleymomDee
totally true dart. Lindz started in 4th grade at her request, and we had no clue at all what her vball commitment would entail. Society as a whole in the US is sports crazed.
1:59 am
dart001
sister's boy played baseball...they were traveling every weekend...not to the next suburb....some were 3-5 hr drives
2:01 am
VolleymomDee
we traveled from IN to KY, MI, IL, WI, and even MN, so I know what you mean. I will say as nuts as the costs / travel were, we did bond as a family, and it did keep our daughter out of trouble in high school - she wasn't here to get in trouble LOL.
2:01 am
dart001
2-3 games a week...a night or two of practice and all of your free time is gone
2:01 am
grannyrose
but that's crazy, dart. all the enjoyment goes out the window. fortunately only my middle son was sports crazy, still is at the tender age of 31. but i always encouraged him to enjoy the sport...
2:02 am
VolleymomDee
Almost as stupid as folks signing up unborn babies for elite preschools.
2:02 am
VolleymomDee
hubby drove her to practice 3 nights a week 1 1/2 hours away (1 way)... she did homework driving up, and slept coming home...
2:03 am
dart001
consumes all of your time too
2:03 am
VolleymomDee
Next time we're together, I'll have to ask her what she thinks now about all of that. We had no life.
2:04 am
VolleymomDee
It did get her $20,000 toward college, so we were lucky about tha.
2:05 am
grannyrose
you want a laugh... son Simon has been asked to join the local footie team(AFL0, but he is going in as a veteran...at the age of 31 for gosh sakes!!!
2:05 am
VolleymomDee
some of our friends' kids would never have been able to go to college without that kind of financial help... which really made them obsessive about their sport of choice
2:06 am
VolleymomDee
wow, sure hope he doesn't get injured
2:06 am
dart001
we had fun making up games....choosing sides...making the rules....taught you leadership...how to get along with others...bargaining etc...we didn't always agree on stuff lol
2:06 am
grannyrose
but that's so sad, dee.
2:07 am
grannyrose
oh he's still pretty fit, dee.
2:08 am
VolleymomDee
lol bet you didn't agree... very true, too, dart. We were just commenting the other day that we don't see scads of kids out playing like that... too involved with dance, soccer, horses, etc...
2:09 am
dart001
too many stay inside and play computer games etc
2:10 am
dart001
like me now lol
2:10 am
VolleymomDee
'tis true
2:10 am
grannyrose
okay, mother mac has left the building...hubby and i have had a celebratory hug. next stop...take-away chinese, then up to the church. tonight we are having a 6 hour prayer vigil. just praying for aspects of our church/community life. we are going up in 3 hours.
2:11 am
VolleymomDee
sounds amazing, granny
2:11 am
grannyrose
tomorrow we are going to the movies with dinner/lunch depending on the time we choose.
2:11 am
VolleymomDee
I'm hoping to have a Bible study here starting in Oct for about 15 women... love those times
2:12 am
VolleymomDee
Have a wonderful weekend!!
2:13 am
VolleymomDee
Well, I am off til the flip; have a bunch to do tomorrow during the day! Hugs (granny) (dart) TTFN

6:40 am

I was afraid she was dying, but she's responded to the meds and is more active, eating better, and panting less
6:40 am

That is wonderful. You must be very relieved.

Kaplan the Magne
I know.
6:52 am

hmm, hawaian alphabet?
6:53 am
Kaplan the Magne
I'm not sure if t and d are in it, but I think basically, that's what we have here.
6:54 am
rubyfoo
how do you spell those board walk dolls?
6:55 am
Kaplan the Magne
The Hawaiian language was an oral tradition. The Hawaiian alphabet (piapa), was written by 19th century missionaries. The alphabet contains 12 letters: 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and 7 consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, w). To simplify pronunciation, sound consonants as in English and break up words so they are easy to say e.g., Waianapanapa sounds like Wai-a-napa-napa.

7:14 am
Anniebrook
I just bought a ton of books. My friend and I went to Housing Works ( a used book store in Manhattan that advocates for people with HIV/AIDS). All the books are donated and in very good condition. A worthwhile cause. They also have a very nice cafe where I had a great cup of coffee.
7:14 am

sounds like a very satisfying day
7:15 am

It was. Bobby also came with us. He has 2 wonderful baseball books. A very good day.

Bobby is my son. He has Down Syndrome and lives with me. He took the day off from his workshop and came with us.

Built in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was lambasted by Parisians for its industrial ugliness. The only thing that saved it from being demolished in 1909 was its potential use as a radio tower during World War I. Luckily, by the end of the War, it had won over enough hearts to stay.

I am keeping an eye on it, but I have had something similar before. I feel hungry all the time...the burning, churning, "I haven't eaten in hours" feeling constantly. But then, when I eat, the cramps are horrible!

I don't think I have ever seen an Apple store. Could they fix your iPod?
2:30 pm
bichon
Yes and no. It's almost 4 years old and the battery is close to being kaput. I can get a totally new one for $60. I lost my connector that charges and lets you download music to it. Had to buy a new one of those. Will get the new one soon. Have to turn in my old one.
2:31 pm

The Apple Store was wild. Filled with people [early in morning] and the next appt. for a tech was 2:15 from then

4:22 pm
jesdraggon
in MT? what's on fire?
4:22 pm
Jillyjill
hi jes? How's the diabetic kitty doing, any luck on finding him a home?
4:23 pm
jesdraggon
sort of... except the guy who took him, who has another diabetic cat, and who verified the insulin dose with me before taking the cat...
4:24 pm
jesdraggon
proceded to give him 20 units instead of 2 units, 2 doses in a row. so cat's been in hospital all week trying to keep him from dying the first day and a half, and since then trying to figure out long-term regulation again.
4:27 pm
Jillyjill
*cusses* wish you were closer and I didn't already have two cats...praying for the kitty!!
4:27 pm
jesdraggon
pretty sure he's gonna be okay, just having to figure out whether he'll end up hypersensitive to insulin, or refractory to it
4:27 pm
Jillyjill
Lucky he didn't die with the first dose!!
4:28 pm
Jillyjill
Mine was on Lantus, $$ but did him well and we had him well controlled
4:31 pm
jesdraggon
yeah; the only other cat i've seen get OD'd like that also survived, but ended up blind and with permanent brain damage/personality changes.
4:31 pm
Jillyjill
Not good *fingers crossed*
4:33 pm
jesdraggon
yeah, he's doing way better than i expected... adopter brought him in seizing
4:33 pm
Jillyjill
Dang! Brain damage could be a reality...poor little kitty...and wtg on nbt
4:35 pm
crosshair
good lord!! poor kitty!
4:36 pm
jesdraggon
pretty sure the trial adoption is gonna be permanent after this though - i don't see the guy putting all the money into hospitalization and treatment and then giving me the cat back...
4:36 pm
crosshair
put the instructions for dosing on a big sheet
4:36 pm
jesdraggon
so maybe i should get a picture of the marten and change out my icon...
4:36 pm
Jillyjill
Wow! Well good for him on that at least!!
4:37 pm
Jillyjill
And have him draw up insulin in front of you!!
4:37 pm
Jillyjill
That icon idea is great!
4:37 pm
jesdraggon
heh. well, the way we verified the OD is to make him show on the syringe how much he drew up - he misread the 20 for 2 somehow.
4:38 pm
crosshair
put electrical take on the syringe to mark correct dosage?
4:39 pm
cybernan

they posted an article mocking some GOP speeches but they said "instead of printing the whole thing, just go watch" ---- that pissed me off lol
5:57 pm
Jillyjill
Just read it on FB...good for you Cos!!
5:58 pm
cosdem
oht hey provided "transcribed" captions but that does not work. no one uses it because it is 99% inaccurate
5:59 pm
Jillyjill
Wouldn't want to have to pay for people to sign...isn't that a job..thought they were the job creators!!
5:59 pm
cosdem
oh the RNC had interpreters I saw them on msnbc.
6:00 pm
cosdem
but my point is about online media.
6:00 pm
cosdem
was pretty cool to see on msnbc a panel, and u could see some interpreters in the background practicing the speches
6:01 pm
Jillyjill
Reminds me of the woman at the rock concert signing a metal band....great to see people taking ownership of their work!!
6:02 pm
cosdem
Lady Gaga is learning ASL now so she can give a concert using ASL only. I dont like her but I give her huge props for that.
6:02 pm
Jillyjill
But with our technology, the online media should be a given..
6:02 pm
Jillyjill
Gaga has her moments!
6:02 pm
cosdem
FEC ruling issued a few weeks ago - all online media MUST have captions/subtitles by 9/30/2012. so lets hope
6:03 pm
Jillyjill
Let's see what the Democrats do! *fingers crossed*
6:04 pm
cosdem
yes. im not expecting much though. although on the dnc website's delegate area. i played around and i saw a request form for "Asl interpreters"
6:05 pm
Jillyjill
I do remember some previous debates where they did the picture in the corner with the interpreter
6:06 pm
cosdem
that was back in the days where captions werent installed in TVs
6:06 pm
cosdem
now theres really no reason to use captions. it does not cost much at all.
6:07 pm
cosdem
cnn. msnbc and fox - to their credit - are captioned 24/7
6:07 pm
Jillyjill
Since I only have slight knowledge of ASL, but a big experience with captioning...think the signers are better...
6:07 pm
cosdem
no actually captions are -- helps improve reading and vocabulary.
6:07 pm
cosdem
and a lot of people don't always sign the same thing the same way
6:08 pm
Jillyjill
WEll, I guess one reads through the typos
6:09 pm
cosdem
live captioning - then maybe signer would be better. but if it isnt live then thats best
6:09 pm
Jillyjill
All I learned was basics of the sign language they use for infants/toddlers...my nephew needed it with a neurologic condition that slowed his speech learning
6:09 pm
cosdem
live captionings = tons of typos and slow. but if its built in captioning then its great
6:10 pm
cosdem
ahh nice. research shows if a baby learns sign even with ability to hear - they learn to talk a lot earlier.
6:10 pm
Jillyjill
Any how, in this day the technology needs to be mandatory
6:11 pm
cosdem
yep. it will be soon iif all goes as planned
6:11 pm
Jillyjill
I was very impressed, it is truly amazing...these little ones really communicate well before they can speak, it is truly amazing
6:13 pm
Jillyjill
Well, heading off to fix dinner...enjoyed our chatting cosdem...hagn!
6:16 pm
crosshair
would you all be of the opinion that a child who could sign at a young age,would they not get "lazY" with learning to vocalize when signing is so much easier at first?
6:17 pm
crosshair
though it would be very interesting and healp the child later in life
6:33 pm
Jillyjill
Back while dinner cooking...and no crossy, all the studies point to earlier learning with signing. they are literally earnest to be able to communicate.
6:33 pm
Jillyjill
If I was having kids now, I would have them signing....
6:35 pm

Damn, watching news...went outside, there's a fire on the top of the ridge here...crap!

7:43 pm
Jillyjill
We've been in smoke for weeks, but now there is a fire on the ridge of the mountain above town...the one you always see on KPAX livecam
7:43 pm
lbdawger
not many places in MT that aren't either burning or suffering from the smoke.
7:44 pm
lbdawger
heard Hialite was on fire, threatening the water shed.
7:44 pm
Jillyjill
Yep, the place up the Gallatin where I spent my childhood summers is on fire...
7:44 pm

are they getting them under control?
7:45 pm

7:45 pm

I don't know how all you feel, but I just cannot believe that climate change isn't to blame
7:45 pm
lbdawger
winds are hindering most of the fires, weed.
7:45 pm
Jillyjill
nearly 10,000 on the gallatin fire. Pine Creek in the Paradise even worse
7:46 pm
lbdawger
we don't have no climate change...NOT!!!
7:46 pm

And the hot dry weather...
7:46 pm

7:47 pm
lbdawger
not summer...fire season.
7:47 pm
Jillyjill
That and the pine beetle...I do think there is a place for logging..though I know many disagree...
7:47 pm
lbdawger
logging is important, just not stripping the whole mountain of all the forests
7:48 pm
lbdawger
pine beetle is rampant. we just haven't had the bitter winters to kill them off.
7:48 pm
Jillyjill
Totally agree there dawg...I know there can be a balance between the two...
7:49 pm
featherbee
balance is so important in ALL areas of life
7:49 pm
Jillyjill
Thankfully, when my parents owned the place in the Gallatin, they had it thinned...

thinning and maintenance, being stewards of the planet

He claims NOT to be Republican, but Independe4/5. I think he is in de 6/21 about his political status. I do not know why he feels the ne 4/5 to hi 4/6 his political status. He really gives me a he 4/6ache with his political rants. He has this crazy id 4/5 Barack Obama is the reason for the national deficit. Husband isn't too ke4/8 on him getting re-elected. He believes Mitt Romney will take the le4/5 and win the election. He believes all of Obama's secrets will le 4/8 out and ruin his chances of winning.Husband has already told me some things about him that have le 6/33 out, but I do not believe them. I will stay le 4/4 to Obama and vote for him. I will we4/9 though if he does not get re-elected. I ke4/9 on shaking my he 4/6 every time he calls Obama a Socialist. Husband is blind to the fact Romney will continue tax breaks for the we4/8thy. Now that I've ai4/5d you with a story, I am going to get off this he 6/21 and watch Let's Make a De 4/5 on GSN. I have to he4/6 hubby warnings about wanting laptop. I will start the next puzzle an 4/8 tomorrow, the last day of the we4/8. I might pe4/9 back in here before I go to bed.

When the mustard seeds popped, added a couple pounds of home-grown, peeled, chopped, tomatos, simmered briefly, added a very healthy handful of kale, trimmed and torn, braised to deliciousness.

The pint of ale is necessitating a brb...
9:05 pm
dcseain
evening, torg
9:07 pm
mab
what is a pannini maker? is it like a toaster oven?
9:08 pm
mab
and life. what is the meaning of life?
9:08 pm
dcseain
42 is the meaning of life
9:08 pm
mab
why is the sky blue?
9:09 pm
torgone
A sandwich press ..
9:09 pm
dcseain
panini maker is an electric or stovetop device that presses and grills a sandwich on both sides.
9:09 pm
dcseain
water vapor is why we most of us see the sky as blue.
9:09 pm
torgone
It reflects the ocean ..
9:09 pm
dcseain
(i can be such a party pooper at times.)
9:09 pm
mab
like a george forman grill
9:10 pm
mab
i have a muhammed ali jump rope.
9:10 pm
dcseain
not usually, but at the same time not unlike. i suppose one could use a Foreman grill to make one.
9:11 pm
mab
well it sounds very nice.
9:12 pm
Jillyjill
I would dearly love to see some water vapor and not smoke DC..
9:13 pm
dcseain
Oh, yesterday i ended up setting foot in the elementary school i attended. That was slightly surreal after all this time.
9:13 pm
dcseain
are there fires near you JJ?
9:14 pm
mab
did everything look really tiny?
9:14 pm
mab
ooh, fires. that's so frightening.
9:15 pm
Jillyjill
We've been smokey for weeks from ID, WA and CA..but now there is one about 5 miles west of here..
9:15 pm
mab
that's close.
9:15 pm
mab
if no one got hurt i would like new england to burn down.
9:16 pm
Jillyjill
They can't get to it by manpower, have been dropping water on it.. *fingers crossed*
9:16 pm
Jillyjill
Ouch mab...why?
9:17 pm
mab
not fond of the tiny part of new england i inhabit.
9:17 pm
Jillyjill
Where are you?
9:17 pm
dcseain
I HATED where i lived in New England, so i feel ya mab.
9:17 pm
mab
it's petty of me to want the whole region to burn.
9:17 pm
dcseain
I hope it stays miles from you, JJ
9:18 pm
Jillyjill
My son lives in Millville MA...he loves it!!
9:18 pm
mab
the great commonwealth of Mass
9:18 pm
Jillyjill
Well, the burn area from 2000 may be a saving point...
9:19 pm
dcseain
I was in the Boston area, in Boston proper.
9:19 pm
dcseain
a, a natural firebreak leftover from last time. May it protect.
9:19 pm
mab
i just want to go home to washington
9:19 pm
Jillyjill
Such a great city...we loved it!
9:20 pm
Jillyjill
Well, that I can understand mab...I love WA!!...well, most parts of it...
9:20 pm
mab
oh no, wash d.c.
9:21 pm
dcseain
I love living here in the DC area -- but then again i grew up here.
9:21 pm
Jillyjill
That too is very nice..
9:21 pm
Jillyjill
When we visited our son in VA we went to see friends in Arlington...
9:23 pm
dcseain
The traffic here sucks, but i still think it's a great place to live. I love helping people find homes within a reasonable commute radius.
9:23 pm
Jillyjill
Is that what you do dc?
9:24 pm
Jillyjill
That's what I loved about the east coast...commuting and not driving!
9:24 pm
mab
i will be living in an apartment in dc proper, i hope
9:24 pm
dcseain
yep. i'm in real estate in Northern Virginia. I look forward to getting my DC licens in several months.
9:24 pm
dcseain
I want to settle down in Arlington i think, but going back into DC is tempting too. We'll see what happens.
9:26 pm
Jillyjill
I liked Arlington and so did my friends...nice little cozy neighborhoods and great little ethnic restaurants
9:26 pm
Jillyjill
Any near prospects for moving mab?
9:27 pm
mab
no, not for awhile.
9:27 pm
dcseain
Arlington also offers the benefits of living in DC with more consistently better schools and lower auto insurance.
9:28 pm
dcseain
we look forward to welcoming you back here mab, and hope you'll keep me in mind when the time comes :)
9:28 pm
Jillyjill
Good point dc...gotta consider all the costs of living!
9:28 pm
mab
thanks dc, but i will be renting.
9:29 pm
mab
for the rest of my life most likely.
9:29 pm
dcseain
property-ownership-wise, DC, MD, and VA are a wash. So it gets down to a lot of nitpicky variables for some, and lifestyle for others, and intersection thereof for yet others.
9:29 pm
dcseain
renting does have some huge advantages on many fronts :)
9:30 pm
mab
i like renting. I have all my life.
9:30 pm
Jillyjill
Oh, but having equity is great!
9:32 pm
Jillyjill
brb...hubby on phone...
9:32 pm
dcseain
The cost of entry to the market here is high, though, so owning is not for everyone, and not having to worry about maintenance is a winner for many.
9:40 pm
Jillyjill
What's the median price thre DC?
9:41 pm
dcseain
In Fairfax County, VA 375K, in Arlington County, VA 425k
9:42 pm
dcseain
300k in Prince William County, 400K in Loundoun County.
9:42 pm
dcseain
In DC proper, i think 450-475k, but am not certain.
9:43 pm
Minveryork
Entered last word and got fireworks! de6/24 was last word
9:44 pm
dcseain
well done, minver :)
9:44 pm
lbdawger

9:44 pm

9:44 pm
dcseain
sweet dreams, dawg
9:45 pm
Jillyjill
Niters dawg...
9:45 pm
Jillyjill
Well DC, puts ownership out of my league...
9:45 pm
dcseain
my mom's neighborhood in Prince William County ranges from 85k to 250k depending on the property.
9:47 pm
Jillyjill
That's more like it...
9:47 pm
dcseain
affordable is out there, even closer in, depending on size of house and state of house, and proximity to what of the house.
9:48 pm
MollyL
85K for a house?
9:48 pm
dcseain
a non-end-unit town house in need of some mostly cosmetic repair.
9:51 pm
MollyL
I guess I'm used to over inflated Montgomery County prices.
9:52 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...we just put my m-i-L's house up for sale for 75K....
9:56 pm
dcseain
MoCo is generally about 20% less compared to similar property in Fairfax, mostly due to radically different property tax structures in the two states. OTOH, Bethesda and parts of Rockville mostly WAY overprice in my view.
9:57 pm
dcseain
anyway, need must go clean up kitchen.
10:00 pm
Jillyjill
See you later DC, nice chatting...too long since we've done that!
10:06 pm
MollyL
DC and the DC Metro area is full of high salaried people. Ergo, the high housing prices. The old "what the market will bear" adage applies.
10:09 pm
Jillyjill
It's the capitalistic American way ;)
10:12 pm
MollyL
I'd really prefer to live in a more median income area where the people aren't so high falutin'. And when my youngest wraps up his vocational training in a few years, I may do just that.
10:18 pm
Jillyjill
Well, in 1989 when we moved back to MT..we bought an 1800 sq ft house, 3 bdr, 2 1/2 bath house on a 1/2 acre for $60,000. Now it would go for $200,000
10:19 pm
MollyL
You couldn't get anything around here on a half acre for 200K.
10:22 pm
Jillyjill
Yah, probably would take an act of God to get me out of this house...besides the views...
10:23 pm
MollyL
It looks like a beautiful State, from everything I have seen.
10:24 pm
Jillyjill
It differs greatly across the state, the western half is the pretty part, in my view
10:26 pm
harpjane
hi jill
10:26 pm
harpjane
and molly
10:27 pm
Jillyjill
hi harp...Ward mountain fire.. :(
10:27 pm
harpjane
Ward? I heard Downing?
10:27 pm
harpjane
Can you see flames?
10:28 pm
Jillyjill
Went out about 10 minutes ago and didn't see flames. As sun set I could differentiate the plumes from it vs all the smoke coming in
10:28 pm
Jillyjill
My bad...it is Downing...
10:29 pm
harpjane
They're calling it the Sawtooth fire, so I'm assuming it is on the south side of Downing.
10:30 pm
Jillyjill
Yes, the trail has been closed.
10:31 pm
Jillyjill
k+ c*** and Abel + 'tag, you're **"
10:34 pm
dcseain
i miss the days i did full-time childcare here and the kitchen was always spotless. Cleaning up the kitchen when i'm here babysitting is a ton of work.
10:35 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...welcome back DC...
10:36 pm
dcseain
Hi jane and ty, JJ
10:37 pm
Jillyjill

10:59 pm
Jillyjill
we+ farmer in the ***l
11:00 pm
dcseain
sigh. niece just tossed up barely digested apple from earlier. Less explosive than last night, but still no fun. I'm guessing apple was too acidic for her GI still. Will have to let Moms and Pops know.
11:00 pm
MollyL
No, apparently it's some obscure sea. But if you don't read geography books voraciously, see Jilly's clue.
11:00 pm
