VolleymomDee
What was seldom written into the series was Ozzie's profession or mention of his lengthy and successful band-leading career which was infrequent. The popular joke about his career was that the only time he left the house was to go buy ice cream. According to his granddaughter, actress Tracy Nelson, Ozzie went to Rutgers to study law and when pressed would tell interviewers that the TV Ozzie was a lawyer.The show ran for a total of fourteen television seasons, and for nearly four decades, held the record as the longest running American television sitcom, live or animated, until the record was broken by The Simpsons in 2004. The show is still the longest running live-action American sitcom in television history. cha cha answer: On television, Ozzie's occupation was never identified. On radio (from which the series was adapted), Ozzie was a bandleader.

hi, all. The other day, I posted in the chog about being burdened for my mother, who has had cancer. She thinks it may have returned, although her doctor is not certain yet, but she withheld this information from me and I heard about it from my daughter, whom my mother did tell. I spoke to my mother about it, and she said she did not want to "worry" me about it, so she did not tell me. I told her that I did know about it, and wanted to find out more, so that I can pray more effectively. I also told her, "I am a big girl now; I may indeed get upset; I may cry, but I will get over it," and that I had placed the whole situation in God's hands and I'm not at all distressed about it. My mother said, "maybe you are stronger than I thought you were." I reminded her that she had brought me up to BE strong in many ways, and that, "you cannot temper steel without putting it through fire, and I have been through the fire a few times." She promised she would tell me everything, good or not, after she goes to the doctor in a couple of weeks.
6:17 am
PappouTed
Hi Anglesong, prayers that you get good news in a few weeks
6:18 am
Marc Freeman
Maybe it would show her great support if you went to the doctor with her if that is a possibility.
6:21 am
Angelsong
Marc, I will not be able to go to the doctor with her, but my aunt said she would go with her, and I'm sure my dad will also go with her. I can imagine many things that are likely far worse than the reality will be, so it's better to know than to be kept in the dark about it.
6:24 am
MissOmnibus
Maybe she's not strong enough to have you by her side this time Angel. I work in palliative care, it can be tough on all fronts... <hug> my thoughts for you and your fam.
6:49 am

Angelsong, I am glad you talked with your mother.

How is beautiful Florida? What types of birds do you get to see?
6:56 am
Aloyisius
Birds? ooh, we watch BlackBellied Whistling Ducks, ibises, wood storks, Great Egrets, etc.. but now the migrating birds have arrived so the variety is even greater.. Fla. is fine.. and are you in a white winter wonderland?
6:57 am
Scrabbler
Yes, we got a foot of snow this past week and it is snowing now. We will have new snow everyday for the next several days. It is beautiful--trees holding the snow.
6:58 am
Aloyisius
so special, new-fallen snow.. but then..
6:58 am
Scrabbler
Those ducks are new to me. They are pretty in pics. And I suppose they do whistle.
6:59 am
Scrabbler
I will cross-country ski and snow shoe today, Monday and Tuesday. Sundays = shopping for Mom and then take her out to eat.
6:59 am
Aloyisius
well they make a lot of noise.. hubby calls them "heebie jeebies" because their call is high pitched and he hears heebie jeebie heebie jeebie as they fly overhead
7:00 am
Aloyisius
x-c was the way I got through winter in NE Ohio..
7:00 am
Aloyisius
you must be strong to snow shoe!
7:01 am
Scrabbler
The park has a "warming hut" with a wood stove and that is much of the fun of using the trails. I like to relax in there when I finish exercising. I read a book, or play Scrabble with friends.
7:02 am
Scrabbler
Snowshoeing is hard work. I use trekking poles, that helps.
7:03 am
Aloyisius
do you go sledding?
7:03 am
Scrabbler
Yes, with Mary's kids. There is a hill near their home.
7:04 am
Scrabbler
There is a very steep, exciting hill at the park here. I used to take my nephews there.
7:04 am
Aloyisius
hope the snow is right for x-c... hated it when it clumped up on the bottom of the skis..
7:05 am
Aloyisius
love steep hills! are the kids old enough to try it?
7:05 am
Scrabbler
It will be good--temps have been high 20's
7:05 am
Aloyisius
yes.. no stick at that temp
7:05 am
Scrabbler
I could have the kids come out here (I live 45 min away). Yesterday we met at a halfway town and went ice skating. What fun!
7:06 am
Scrabbler
Have you read any of Bernd Heinrich's books? Bio prof at Univ of VT, writes biology/nature books.
7:06 am
Aloyisius
yay for you getting out in the winter! Too many stay in and just watch tv or something
7:07 am
Aloyisius
no, I don't recall his name.. what are you reading? I'll write it down
7:07 am
Scrabbler
I thrive on being outdoors.
7:08 am
Scrabbler
"Winter World" is all about how various animals adapt in the winter. Fascinating. Next for me = his book on trees.
7:09 am
Aloyisius
ty.. made notes
7:10 am
Aloyisius
neighbor brought me the whole "Game of Thrones" series of books, so I'm in book one
7:11 am
Scrabbler
Those are on my list...with about 100 other books. So many books, so little time. That makes me crazy.
7:11 am
Aloyisius
know what you mean!
7:12 am
Aloyisius
ooh, earned the list while we have been chatting.. grid going smoothly
7:12 am
Scrabbler
Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites make it tougher for us--when a book is found for my wish list then other books are suggested, and on it goes.

Hi Owl. I am watching news on TV, reading morning paper, and am here.
7:14 am
72 Temple Owl
i cannot seem to get myself out and exerising
7:15 am
Aloyisius
In Ohio, I use the treadmill and read at the same time
7:15 am
Scrabbler
Put on earphones and go walk, Owl.
7:15 am
72 Temple Owl
too cold.
7:16 am
Scrabbler
Layers are the key
7:16 am
Aloyisius
but cardiologist said if I were exercising hard enough on the treadmill, I wouldn't be able to read.. oh well
7:16 am
Scrabbler
Audiobooks?
7:17 am
Aloyisius
good idea.. hi there hurshy
7:17 am
72 Temple Owl
i have neer been able to find gloes that keep me sufficiently warm. i hesitate to go to ski shop for huge mitts
7:17 am
Scrabbler
Hi Hurshy
7:17 am
Aloyisius
mittens work better
7:17 am
hurshy
i bought special earphones for the tv because of course you have to turn it up really loud to hear it over the treadmill, so i got these wireless headphones that you have the base connected to the tv and then you can just listen at a reasonable volume
7:18 am
Scrabbler
And handwarmers are great--little pouches to place in mittens. I use them when temps are in single digits and lower.
7:18 am
Scrabbler
Good idea, H
7:19 am
Aloyisius
used to have a little tv in the basement with the treadmill, but then digital came along and I didn't replace it.. like your idea
7:19 am
72 Temple Owl

The simple fact that you are even here, alive, on this planet is a divine miracle, and you should not spend the time you have being busy, being miserable.

8:59 pm
jmcnrick
haha i am sure not. . . he is probably more than happy to have a way to help
9:00 pm
Lizlin
Interesting? Hmm? Beautiful weather here - but that's not interesting. I guess what makes it interesting is just that we're lucky enough to be enjoying our early retirement with no great traumas!
9:00 pm
jmcnrick
did he offer?
9:00 pm
smores
ta4 plus same 1st 2 ltrs again
9:00 pm
jmcnrick
that is good liz. . .have you started any new activities?
9:00 pm

ta 6 /21 - start with a faucet and then add a Greek letter.
9:01 pm
lilliann
yes and no
9:01 pm
jmcnrick
hi bleu!
9:01 pm
smores
sorry, the ta4 right above it
9:01 pm
jmcnrick
well then if he offered. . .
9:01 pm
Lizlin
We're still terracing the slope we've got at the back - that's a long term job. Transferring plants and hoping they'll survive!
9:02 pm
Lizlin
Need to collect more driftwood before we can go much further!
9:02 pm
jmcnrick
terracing? are you doing the digging yourselves? that is hard work. . . i can barely finish the silly painting of a room i got going
9:02 pm
bleugirl2
greek letter? don't see it.
9:02 pm
jmcnrick
what kind of plants
9:03 pm
godthaab
FINISHED!! VERY EXCELLENT!!
9:03 pm
jmcnrick
it is a soriety kinda of a 3 letter word
9:03 pm
jmcnrick
whoo hooo godthaab!
9:03 pm
smores
WTG godthaab!!!
9:03 pm
lilliann
wtg godthaab!
9:04 pm
Lizlin
Yes - though my hubby's doing most of the digging! Well, we've moved a small palm tree, agapanthus (they'll grow anywhere as will the motherinlaw's tongue) and a large spiky plant (helpful) that was getting too big and spearing people as they came up our front path. Also some gerberas that were in pots!
9:04 pm
Lizlin
congrats godthaab :)
9:05 pm
jmcnrick
haha sounds like some dangerous plants there!
9:05 pm
bleugirl2
the 6/21? are you sure you're not talking about the 6/24?
9:05 pm
Lizlin
Yes, bleugirl2 - lose one of the double consonant
9:05 pm
Lizlin
And add a vowel at the end
9:06 pm
jmcnrick
no that is the 6/21. . .faucet+*** mae was a character in easy rawlins books
9:06 pm
smores
ta6/21 - what you use to hold the wrapping paper then add the 1st2 letters again
9:06 pm
Lizlin
The slope's difficult - a real heat tr 4 in the summer but gets little sun in winter.
9:06 pm
jmcnrick
good clue smores
9:07 pm
jmcnrick
are you putting in soak hoses while you are terracing?
9:07 pm
bleugirl2
ok no i see it. i was going from the wrong T. duh!
9:07 pm
Lizlin
Good clue smokes :)
9:07 pm
Lizlin
No! Have to be careful with water here.
9:07 pm
smores
lol...Liz...did I get autocorrected?
9:07 pm
jmcnrick
wtg bleu
9:08 pm
bleugirl2
FIREWORXXX!
9:08 pm
Lizlin
Yes smores :) and I pressed enter without checking!
9:08 pm
jmcnrick
but soak hoses avoid avaporation so i thought they would be a good thing
9:08 pm
Lizlin
Congrats bleugirl2 :)
9:08 pm
jmcnrick
*evaporation
9:09 pm
smores
Woot!! Woot bleugirl !!!
9:09 pm
jmcnrick
whooo hooo bleu!
9:09 pm
lilliann
wtg bleugirl!
9:09 pm
Lizlin
Ok jmc - asked my hubby. He says they can cause termite problems because they keep the ground permanently wet - also use too much water.
9:10 pm
jmcnrick
interesting. . .they don't seem to cause termite problems here. . .but we probably have different termites here
9:10 pm
Lizlin
I guess it's just about finding the right native plants and at the moment, we're also trying not to spend money!
9:11 pm
jmcnrick
they are generally considered water conserving in Texas etc.
9:11 pm
jmcnrick
well yes native plants are more than half the battle aren't they
9:11 pm
Lizlin
Well, we'll look at them. Conserving water is the best thing we can do. Thanks for the idea :)
9:12 pm
jmcnrick
in the garden in the federal park one of the gardeners has buried soak hoses and has a timer on them so they turn on at sunset for awhile and then turn off
9:12 pm

9:59 pm

They are close enough to the equator there that it is warm most of the year. Also, right up against the Gulf, which keeps water (and so air) fairly warm).

negativeneil
Here, lilliann:

I like them, but have never grown them myself. I go more for pansies and daisies.
10:20 pm
Jillyjill
It was pretty twisty...this definitely was not an easy grid. lots of monkeying..
10:21 pm
lilliann
i love the summer and winter pansies too and my dad loves asters, which are the big daisy looking flowers
10:21 pm
lilliann
i have 33 left and you are right about the twisty grid jilly
10:21 pm

10:22 pm
Jillyjill
I had to use more words a lot on this one....and the list (sorry jacula)...
10:22 pm
stidmama
We have some autumn-blooming asters, and I usually get chrysanthemums in the fall also.
10:22 pm
lilliann

Jillyjill
And right now, nothings growing..LOL
10:23 pm
lilliann
i love chrysthanemums. my favourite flowers are carnations and gerbras
10:23 pm
Jillyjill
Snoring was a major pain in my life, then apnea..finally hubby got his sleep apnea corrected and both of us sleep well...
10:24 pm
smores
yeah the only thing growing in my yard is snow
10:24 pm
stidmama
Love how carnations smell...
10:24 pm
lilliann
i'm deaf in both ears stid, one more than the other but i can still hear in one ear and the bed vibrates which is why i know he is snoring
10:25 pm

10:28 pm

10:38 pm
Jacula
However, both of my (in their late 30s) kids have given me such grief (well not really but both seemed really in need of a mummy hug when I got home) that I'm wondering if I should leave them with their Dad sorting Christmas out for another year. He even kidnapped my Mum, who really is not a huggy type of person and she hugged me when I got home.
10:38 pm
