4:30 am

4:32 am

rubyfoo

4:33 am

sarah6girls

with money am saveing i have done my sitting room ie new carpet sofa and painted walls and got carpet for dinning room and hallway :)

5:22 am

MollyL

The Pope quit?

5:23 am

Scrabbler

Yep, I just saw the news on MSNBC. He's retiring at the end of the month. At 85 he can retire and relax.

5:25 am

MollyL

I think it might be a little more complicated than that.

5:26 am

Scrabbler

How?

5:27 am

MollyL

Popes just don't "retire".

5:29 am

Scrabbler

Not in 500 yrs, but he IS old and frail. And the Catholic Church wouldn't have any secrets or hidden agenda, would it? (I am a Catholic.)

5:29 am

kyleteresa

Pope's retire; it's called abdication

5:30 am

MollyL

That's what I mean. It's considered an abandonment of obligation (Popes are expected to serve until death) and is a HUGE blow to the Catholic Church.

5:32 am

Scrabbler

He's old and frail and this pales in comparison to major issues that have led to droves of people abandoning the Catholic Church..

5:36 am

Scrabbler

Hm, "mortem" is rejected. Latin, I guess.

5:36 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

5:36 am

MollyL

John Paul was old and frail towards the end as well. And by huge blow, I was not referring to people leaving the church, just that it is stunning news as it rarely happens.

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Hey Liz.

5:42 am

Lizlin

:)

5:42 am

Scrabbler

My friend and her husband flew into Sydney on Saturday morning and will enjoy 2 wks in Oz, then a week in NZ.

5:43 am

Lizlin

Hope they have a wonderful time. I like Sydney - to visit, that is. I wouldn't want to live there but then I'm over city living!

5:44 am

Lizlin

I hope to visit NZ some time before too long!

5:44 am

Scrabbler

They are traveling all over Australia, seeing the highlights.

5:44 am

Lizlin

I'm sure they'll take hundreds or thousands of photos!

5:45 am

Lizlin

I know I did on my first visit here!

5:46 am

Scrabbler

When did you move there?

5:46 am

Lizlin

4 years ago - love it. Such a good decision!

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Where did you previously live?

5:47 am

Lizlin

London

5:48 am

Lizlin

It's great to wake up to the sun on most days and the weather where we are in Queensland is not generally too extreme.

5:48 am

Scrabbler

I have a neighbor that grew up outside of London. She married an American guy and came here 25 yrs ago. She is a lovely, wonderful person.

5:49 am

Scrabbler

I am stuck with 45 left.

5:50 am

Lizlin

I loved living in London (well, outside London really) - probably didn't take enough advantage of what London has to offer. It was time for a move though, along with early retirement from teaching.

5:50 am

Lizlin

I'm struggling now with 51 left!

5:51 am

Lizlin

49!

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Well, I'm done with 44 left. It's time to stop staring at the grid.

5:56 am

Lizlin

I might also come back with fresh eyes tomorrow - down to 48 now but it's slow!

5:56 am

Lizlin

Have a good day Scrabs :)

5:59 am

sprite

good afternoon, all

5:59 am

Lizlin

Hi sprite :)

5:59 am

sprite

hi Liz :)

6:04 am

Lizlin

That's 100 and I think I'll leave it for tonight now. Enjoy the rest of your day, Sprite :)

6:04 am

sprite

have a peaceful evening, Liz :)

6:05 am

Lizlin

ty - Bye :)

6:13 am

sprite

2/3, time for a break. Laterz!

6:36 am

kyleteresa

Well, I have 101 words, so time for a break with some breakfast and some exercise! be back later!

6:48 am

bichon

Morning folks

6:49 am

rbud

morning, bichon

6:50 am

bichon

We ar *still* snowed in from the storm. Grrr

6:51 am

rbud

oh, dear, any hope of rescue soon?

6:52 am

bichon

Everyone in town was supposed to be plowed out by last night. Didn't happen in our area

6:53 am

rbud

are you running low on supplies or food?

6:54 am

bichon

Just milk. But, for two adults, we can manage. I'm going to have to cancel a dr's appt and my husband can't go to work.

6:55 am

rbud

well, thankfully you have power and the computer to pass the time. :)

6:56 am

rbud

is the snow over now? I've not checked the weather channel in a day or so.

6:56 am

bichon

yes, thankful for that. And, we shoveled out the entire driveway. But when the plow does come, we'll end up with lots more stuff in the driveway. Snow over, icy rain today. Driving would be treacherous.

6:58 am

rbud

oh, no, and you'll have trouble dealing with that mound they'll leave at the end of the drive, especially with some ice thrown in, I imagine.

6:58 am

hurshy

we are going to walk out and look at our road today to see whether it is well plowed or not, to see if we can go to walmart.

6:59 am

bichon

hurshy, my daughter lives in West Haven and they only have a very narrow line of plowed road on their street.

7:00 am

Anniebrook

I couldnt believe the amounts of snow some towns in CT got.

7:00 am

hurshy

yeah, it's doubtful. sigh.

7:00 am

bichon

Our dogs have been running around loose in our driveway. They can't go anywhere.

7:00 am

bichon

Annie, we got 3 feet.

7:00 am

hurshy

lol

7:01 am

rbud

I can't imagine what that must be like, three feet! it's been ages since we even had two feet or so here in Illinois, though it has happened.

7:01 am

Anniebrook

bichon, a lot of snow. hopefully you can get out this afternoon

7:02 am

bichon

We thought blizzards were a thing of the past

7:02 am

hurshy

next time, i'll buy fruit. sigh.

7:02 am

Anniebrook

and I shudder to think it is only the middle of February.

7:02 am

bichon

First we're going to get freezing rain this morning, turning to all rain. This will all accumulate in the driveway. Will take movie of dogs skating

7:02 am

hurshy

just read "the long winter" and then this will not seem bad at all.

7:03 am

bichon

And I like winter

7:03 am

Anniebrook

I bought the autobiography of Sonia Sotomayor yesterday. Cant wait to receive it.

7:04 am

Anniebrook

I like winter also but a reasonable winter.

7:04 am

bichon

A fellow New Yorker

7:04 am

hurshy

i am glad i grew up on the little house books

7:04 am

Anniebrook

bichon, we are "4 seasons" gals or ladies (whatever you prefer)

7:05 am

bichon

Yes, I don't get how people live in places where the only difference between summer and winter is one is rainier

7:06 am

Anniebrook

agree. or florida where it is hot or hotter.

7:07 am

Anniebrook

But I like Florida very much in bits and piecs.

7:07 am

bichon

I've actually been in South Florida when it's been cold [relatively]. Not very often.

7:07 am

Anniebrook

*pieces

7:08 am

hurshy

first two rows, done! woohoo!

7:08 am

Anniebrook

wtg!

7:09 am

bichon

When my mother left Florida to live in Assisted Living here in CT, we could have kept her apartment. But, the whole lifestyle was too boring for us.

7:14 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:) it is time for a rare and early crossy's quote of the day!! i had to post this now as not only do i love it and think i will put it on display over my desk,i think many of our babble writers will laugh in understanding:... "writing is easy,just open a vein" - unknown

7:15 am

Anniebrook

what town?

7:41 am

Anniebrook

Wilton

7:41 am

hurshy

see the trouble in new haven i think is so many streets downtown, cars that got stuck or were parked in the way, the resources may be all being focused there - we're going to venture out today to see what's been done on our road.

7:42 am

hurshy

if it is all plowed i will be a happy camper

7:43 am

Yale gets priority and everyone else will fall into line. I hope you can get out today.

Hello, Annie

7:48 am

MimiCat

Didn't work for me, hurshy. I have 3 cats but one is especially mischievous. This morning he was upset that I wasn't feeding him an hour early at 5:30 so he managed to get behind my armoire and unplug the TV. He has done all manner of damage and earned his name...Dodger. But since I have a real weakness for "bad boys" I actually find him amusing...except at 5:30 in the morning!

7:48 am

Mom

hello ((Peri and Crossy))

7:48 am

Anniebrook

Mom , yes, we are ready to roll

7:49 am

excellent, Annie :-)

7:50 am

Ziggy, he does get me up at 6:00 a.m. but that is a good thing

7:50 am

Mom

now when it comes time for Sweetie to retire, it may be a different story

7:52 am

MimiCat

Got all 3 of mine as strays--the brother and sister since they were tiny. They have ripped posters off the wall, chewed through the speaker cord of my computer and through my Bose headphones cord, ripped up the carpet around the edges....I could go on and on. But I do love them and they give me lots of affection. I keep reminding myself it's the living creatures that matter not the inanimate objects. I've had to barricade my computer so they can't chew the cords anymore.

7:52 am

Mom

we might add that Peri's cat just turned 17 last week

7:53 am

Mom

good morning Mimi, oh dear.

7:54 am

MimiCat

I realized too late I should only have older cats....it's like raising toddlers at age 61. My last two cats were 18 and 20 when they passed and never sick a day. Also never as cleverly destructive as Dodger.

You're right, crossy--and they're not confined to the floor! When I first got the younger ones I had to go away to a job for 12 hours a day. It was like leaving toddlers unattended and, wow, did they destroy things.

and mimi,for cats with wire/cable gnawing issues.just go to the auto dept of your hardware/auto parts shoppe and ask for 1/2 wire harness tubing.you order it off a roll by the foot and it has a slit along one side of the tubing and you can insert you computer wiring/electrical cables etc and then they are safe from kitty

8:09 am

Dodger is a dangerous combination....destructive and smart. I know, hurshy, I've never had cats like these before either.

I had one a long time ago that was like that. Used to drive me nuts....yeah...that's my excuse for being nuts :)

She would stalk people and dive bomb them. Once she somehow got up into the space between my cabinets and ceiling, my friend was over and opened the cabinet to get a glass and she dove on his head.

8:16 am

MimiCat

Sounds like mine alright. A long time ago I was traveling with my cats cross country and we stopped at a hotel. I couldn't find my male cat but could hear him. He had somehow managed to get into the chest of drawers behind the drawer. Hey, but I just remember when I raised monkeys at home...wanna talk trouble?!!

8:51 am

8:53 am

That's why I like HalfPrice books, they have new and used. You can also bring your old books in for trade and they support the local schools.

it is a good site and ships world wide

8:57 am

Is it dangerous to swim on a full stomach?
Yes. It's better to swim in water.

8:57 am

crosshair

it is a group of world wide book sellers and you can also call them direct

8:58 am

i have bought several hard to find books from them

8:59 am

smores

ugh..BR :)

8:59 am

smores

Cool..may check it out.

8:59 am

crosshair

i find that the books themselves are a reasonable price 5-15 dollars for the common stuff but the shipping usually matches the cost of the books

9:00 am

crosshair

they penalize us for being canadian lol

9:00 am

smores

EEk...that's not good. Is there a place in Canada?

9:01 am

crosshair

for what?

9:01 am

crosshair

biblio.com is online only,no brick and mortar stores,smores

9:02 am

smores

A bookstore based in Canada so the shipping wouldn't be so bad

9:02 am

crosshair

many are from canada,especially on the east coast so once you find something you can call them direct

9:03 am

crosshair

the down easter;)) seem to love the old books more

9:03 am

crosshair

but many shops that register with biblio are in the u.k then it gets expensive

9:03 am

Michnick

Have you been on Bookcloseouts.com? I think that at least one of their wharehouses are based in Canada. I used to order a lot, but somehow the shipping became much more expensive. Amazon still has reasonable international shipping.

9:04 am

crosshair

i have not michnick.i will give it a look see.and it is always the way in that shipping becomes an issue

9:05 am

crosshair

there have been several times that i have paid the same for shipping as i did for the book itself

9:05 am

Michnick

They have good prices, most books are 35-75%, but the shipping blows away all the savings - local shipping is cheap though.

9:06 am

crosshair

because of the shipping eating away the savings,i tend to save it for rare,signed,first editions or out of print titles

9:07 am

Michnick

Well, check it out. If there warehouse is in Canada it might save you on the shipping.

9:07 am

will do

Jillyjill

hello again, back to finish...

3:13 pm

MollyL

Jill, your thoughts on the Pope stepping down?

3:13 pm

Jillyjill

Very surprised, also very concerned as to truly why and whom might be selected next....

3:14 pm

MollyL

Me too. I don't know what is more stunning. His actual stepping down, or the amount of people who say "Oh, he's just retiring." It's so much bigger than that.

3:15 pm

Jillyjill

Yep....unfortunately there is always politics...I certainly didn't feel he was anywhere near the caliber of JP2

3:16 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, but then again, when I first turned on the news they were talking about his legacy...I thought he had died. But not sure I'm buying this health stuff...my mom's side is german...very strong and long lived.

3:18 pm

PastorJ

having watched both my parents go down with parkinson's, i'm amazed he's been able to keep at it this long.

3:18 pm

PastorJ

very nasty disease.

3:18 pm

MollyL

It's amazing how many people just believe what the news tells them to believe.

3:19 pm

MollyL

John Paul II had Parkinson's as well. Lived with it a long time.

3:19 pm

PastorJ

i'm just saying, don't discount the fact of his disease.

3:19 pm

Jillyjill

Um, I don't think Benedict has parkinsons...???

3:20 pm

PastorJ

really? i thought he did! sorry if i was misinformed. (i'm not catholic)

3:22 pm

Jillyjill

Actually it appears to be arthritis and a history of a stroke. But, in all likelihood, there is something more that we will never know about as to why he is resigning

3:23 pm

Jillyjill

JP2 was a true saintly pope, he never resigned despite debilitating Parkinsons...But Benedict was the oldest pope to be elected

3:23 pm

MollyL

I agree Jill. I think there is a lot more to this that we will never know.

3:24 pm

Jillyjill

Oh well, I give in..going to list for my last 24

3:25 pm

Jillyjill

And the first pope to resign since the 1400's...says a lot

3:25 pm

PastorJ

you're right - my bad - it was JP2 who had parkinson's.

3:25 pm

Jillyjill

Well, it does help to be Catholic...

3:25 pm

mael

my theory is that he wants a hand in directing the future of the catholic church. Can't very well influence the choice of your successor if you're dead

3:26 pm

MollyL

It's huge and it's going to have a huge impact on The Catholic Church and the world. People who are saying it's no big deal truly have no clue.

3:26 pm

Jillyjill

There is much wisdom in that thought mael...and that is what concerns me...

3:27 pm

mael

it concerns me too

3:28 pm

mael

I think the next pope was the chance for some change, however gradual, into the rigid dogma of the church

3:29 pm

Jillyjill

At which point I may have had enough...faith does not come from rote ritualistic practices..

3:29 pm

Jillyjill

toad

3:30 pm

Jillyjill

whoops...really frustrated with the first to4...sheesh

3:30 pm

I was raised Roman Catholic in Italy, I had enough a long time ago. It's very frustrating to watch from an outsider's perspective too

3:31 pm

mael

haha, need any clues, Jill?

3:31 pm

Jillyjill

They will lose the majority of American Cathholics I fear...

3:32 pm

This is why they suggest you stock up on things in preparation for a storm. It can take a week to get regular trucking into some areas.

4:12 pm

mo

hope everything goes well.

4:13 pm

MollyL

I keep powdered milk on hand but I would have to be pretty desperate.

4:13 pm

mo

how much snow have you bichon?

4:13 pm

bichon

I hate powdered milk, but don't mind ultra-pasteurized. Hubby won't drink either

4:13 pm

bichon

We had 3 feet

4:14 pm

Uneaixoise

jeezomeez!

4:14 pm

mo

any sign of a thaw?

4:15 pm

bichon

Yes, it warmed up and rained. Now we have big puddles in the driveway. I think the dogs have been splashing in them.

4:16 pm

mo

hope it continues.

4:17 pm

mo

at least the dogs enjoy it!!!

4:18 pm

bichon

How can one tell. They like rolling in anything. At least they haven't climbed over the snow banks and trotted around on top of the snow, or worse

4:19 pm

re: getting snowed in and supplies.i was in fuel business for 30 years and a lot of people really do not realize just how little fuel is on hand.i live in a town of 20,000 in a heavily traveled tourist area close to a main highway but ALL the fuel for southern ontarios is from 3 refineries all in the same location near sarnia ontario and as such all stations in this area have about 3 days of fuel under the ground at any given time(with normal consumption) this is why i always sake my head at those who spend their lives with 5 dollars of gas slopping round the bottom of the cars tank always on the hunt for the "deal"

4:19 pm

bichon

I'm making past fagioli tonight. That should cheer us up

4:19 pm

MollyL

Ooo yes Bich, that is good, hearty soup.

4:19 pm

bichon

Good winter fare and it will last for days

4:20 pm

MollyL

It makes the house smell good too. : )

4:21 pm

bichon

A few women went into labor and had to be carted off in an ambulance and some people with a small infant ran out of formula. How can you run out of formula if you know a big storm is coming?

4:22 pm

bichon

ttfn, FW

4:22 pm

crosshair

that is insane

4:22 pm

mo

bye bichon and good luck.

4:23 pm

MollyL

People truly don't know how to stock up with the correct things for a big storm. Look at the carts in the store the night before a big storm is to hit. They are full of ice cream and junk food.

4:23 pm

crosshair

when we lived further north,we used to shop for 2 weeks at a time.home place was 20 minutes to paved road and hour to first store hour and a half to first town

4:25 pm

crosshair

i and still remember the seemingly incredible amount of dry goods we used to stock(lots of flour),pasta,tea,sugar,dhydrated taters.powdered and condensed milk,tons of root veggies,soup fixings.etc.etc

4:26 pm

crosshair

oatmeal,,brown sugar,beans ,dried pea

4:26 pm

mo

we live in a small village but thankfully not far from ameneties but we are always stocked up with essentials

4:27 pm

crosshair

and because we were in the bush everything had to go from its packaging to cannisters.a whole sea of cannisters

4:27 pm

crosshair

or the mice would have a party

4:29 pm

crosshair

and lord i used to hate powdered milk but always had the condensed for coffee or tea if it came to it

4:29 pm

crosshair

now you can get milk that lasts for ages sealed in tetra packs

4:30 pm

mo

yes and you can also freeze milk in the plastic bottles.

4:30 pm

crosshair

well,yes,toss em out in the snowbank if the power is still out

4:32 pm

mo

fingers crossed ... hope the power doesnt go off.

4:32 pm

crosshair

after 5 or 6 day outages with the wood stove going and board games,and cards and books and the kerosene lamps going you alm ost get annoyed when the power came back on lol.well all except for lugging pails of hot water from the top of the wood stove to the tub all the time

4:34 pm

mo

touch wood ...we have never been in that situation.

4:35 pm

mo

the longest I can remember being without power was about 24 hours.

4:35 pm

crosshair

been long time for me as well,though even after 20 years of not having it i can still smell the distinctive smell of carnation canned condensed milk in my mind

4:35 pm

dianedecoder

awseome crossy :-) That's how I spent the first 10 years of my life..... we didn't get the power to the farm until I was ten!! .....it was a wonderful life, I might add.

4:36 pm

mo

hi diane.

4:36 pm

dianedecoder

hi mo :-)

4:37 pm

crosshair

diane,looking back it was nice indeed.except when it was your turn to go across that ice cold floor in the morning to stoke the stove and put the big kettle on to boil

4:39 pm

dianedecoder

no problem.... and being the eldest of 5, I learned those little chores at an early age. However, my dad always had things started before he headed into town to the meat market.

4:39 pm

crosshair

biggest problem i remeber is after being out in the cold all day working or fishing or sledding,you pulled the liners from your boots and put them on the stove fender,ate 2 bowls of hot stew and half a loaf of crusty bread slathered in butter,sat down in from of that stove and it's pulsing heat and instantly fell asleep:)

4:40 pm

crosshair

i could never stay awake in that house unless i was activly moving:)

4:41 pm

i still have 2 old lamps for emergency use.beautiful things from the 1890,s but my mrs fears kerosene lamps

4:46 pm

crosshair

she so fears knocking them over that she is forever unconciously trying to knock them over when lit.i have to put them high

4:48 pm

dianedecoder

We had both,... kerosene and gasoline. I have a feeling that the gasoline were a little more dangerous as they had to have pressure pumped into them. I still remember how to prime a mantle !!

4:49 pm

MollyL

I would be afraid of cats around kerosene lamps.

4:49 pm

crosshair

and replace the delicate mantle bags? hehe they were naptha lamps.we had them but were mostly for outside as they are quite loud and bright

4:49 pm

crosshair

although aladin comany used to make indorr pressure lamps but they were always too expensive

4:50 pm

crosshair

wow,some typing on my part;)

4:50 pm

dianedecoder

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
`Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since she went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest, number one is the loneliest
Number one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest, one is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since she went away
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

hootowl

How are ya ru?

11:38 pm

rururocks

hi hootster

11:38 pm

rururocks

.. I was reading about the pope stepping down

11:38 pm

hootowl

Where is everyone?

11:39 pm

rururocks

dunno.. probably all finished

11:39 pm

hootowl

Saw the story - I don't blame him at all. Been a hell of a time.

11:42 pm

rururocks

I would have to say.. he's been my least favorite pope of them all

11:43 pm

rururocks

.. but not that I have had a favorite pope to begin with

11:47 pm

hootowl

sorry went for a drink - he was pretty crotchety

11:47 pm

rururocks

I think he protected the crotchety priests... literally

11:48 pm

hootowl

Ru - did you ever get your knee fixed, been moving and not hanging around alot.

11:49 pm

hootowl

Yeah - but you see the pics online? It looks like he aged 20 yrs in his short time.

11:50 pm

cosdem

was reading a wildly speculative article about that just now

11:50 pm

hootowl

I think he got fed up with them.

11:50 pm

hootowl

hi cos - in what way?

11:50 pm

cosdem

HBO had released a scandalous movie last week about the sex scandals... and a week later the pope resigns? that was the basis of the article

11:50 pm

rururocks

nope.. my knee is still screwed up

11:51 pm

hootowl

aah -

11:51 pm

hootowl

How come ru? I thought you had a date

11:51 pm

hootowl

Do you really think he watched that cos?

11:53 pm

cosdem

Nah. I dont think he wasted his time but the article says he may have heard about it and got so frustrated and resigned in protest. like i said.. wildly speculative :)

11:53 pm

rururocks

still vacillating

11:54 pm

rururocks

something is not right with him stepping down

11:54 pm

hootowl

I thought it was a def go ru? How can you stand not being able to play?

11:54 pm

rururocks

you don't spend your whole life trying to become a pope and get all the goodies and then quit

11:54 pm

Uneaixoise

watched the HBO documentary and immediately wondered if there was a connection

11:55 pm

rururocks

great question hoot... I can't answer that

11:55 pm

hootowl

I think he was too cranky to let that bother him. I think he just got tired of making excuses and lying.

11:55 pm

cosdem

I read he never wanted the job in the first place Ru. but that doesnt mean its true .. it was in HuffPost

11:55 pm

rururocks

i DON'T believe that for a second

11:56 pm

hootowl

ok ru I'll drop it. Actually know how you feel since my hip went bye-vye

11:56 pm

cosdem

it was prob him saying it to look "humble"

11:56 pm

rururocks

I'd make a great pope

11:56 pm
