Not sure what to buy my mother for mothers day...for the last five years i have been buying her local blown glass ornaments..but i think she must be fed-up with those now...she is alergic to flowers, so can not buy those.
4:37 am
xeiluj
You can get blown glass ones for the garden, really look pretty and can be moved around
4:39 am
zoozzoom
not seen those...wondering if they have them here..will have to investigate that one.
4:39 am
xeiluj
They usually come on a long steel
4:39 am
xeiluj
metal prong that sticks into the soil
4:39 am
sprite
give her a beautiful box filled with personal vouchers... like a hug from you... a walk in the park together... a movie date... etc.
4:40 am
zoozzoom
It is great here as you can watch them make your item..wonderful to watch it being made.
4:40 am

rubyfoo
hello, problems with new puppy and with horrible husband
6:05 am
Lizlin
Oh Ruby! What's wrong?
6:05 am
rubyfoo
puppy, who was supposed to come on tuesday, has an eye problem and we don't know if it's chronic.
6:06 am
rubyfoo
Meanwhile, while I am feeling sad, husband is being very hostile, thinks my sadness is directed at him
6:06 am
Lizlin
Oh! Well not much I can say but I'm sure it's getting the best attention.
6:06 am
rubyfoo
yes, the husband of the breeder is a vet, but husband just can't handle my grief
6:06 am
Lizlin
Can only keep reassuring him that your sadness is because of the puppy's problem.
6:07 am
Lizlin
That's so hard for you - hugs and stuff coming your way. But that's not much help, I guess.
6:07 am
rubyfoo
I tried but he is totally closed off
6:07 am
rubyfoo
I fell apart over lunch and I don't do that v ery often
6:07 am
Lizlin
Exhausting for you but all you can do is keep repeating the same thing.
6:10 am
rubyfoo
I am worn out, feel like I'm juggling Swords and flaming batons
6:10 am
crosshair
((ruby))
6:10 am

I'm so sad that things are not working out in a straightforward way - really hope that there's a good outcome before too long

rubyfoo
Aside from that, everything is peachy!
6:29 am

6:29 am
Lizlin
Hi Sandy and Bichon :)
6:29 am
sandyloo
often young animals have eye probs and they get better
6:30 am
bichon
hi sandy, Liz
6:30 am
rubyfoo
the fridge situation is hopeless. I went (alone) to shop for a new one but none of them fits in our custom kitchen. We will either have to take out cabinets or HOPE that the guy can fix this fridge (unlikesly)
6:31 am
rubyfoo
, unfortunately, our vet has little experience with chowschows frequently have entropion and
6:31 am
sandyloo
it never rains but it pours!!! in six weeks time you will have forgotten all this
6:31 am
sandyloo
entropion i will google it
6:31 am
rubyfoo
you think?
6:33 am
rubyfoo
my husband can't stand me and, when i need either help or sympathy, I get neither!
6:33 am
Lizlin
I just googled entropion - if this is the case and it's been caught early, can they do somehting to help?

I'm lucky to have a daughter to talk too. She's really comforting
6:34 am
rubyfoo
they can do surgery, but,unfortunately, there isn't a vet in Annecy who has ever done the surgery
6:34 am
rubyfoo
chows are rare here (I Wonder why lol)
6:34 am
bichon
It's difficult to take a puppy and have to start out with surgery.
6:34 am
Lizlin
What about where the puppy is now? If surgery is done, is it a recurrent problem?
6:34 am
sandyloo
ui googled it to, it sounds like it may be the type of thing that it will grow out of or surgery - are there any other puppies available?
6:35 am
rubyfoo
yes, they have two other puppies, but neither one is what I would have chosen. I'll take one of them, however, if needs be. I was just upset at lunch ND HUSBAND GOT REALLY NASTY
6:36 am

Hello everyone.
6:36 am
bichon
What if you ignored hubby's outbursts?
6:36 am
sandyloo
ruby (((hugs))) he is upset about ruby and so are you
6:36 am
sandyloo
hi lynxx
6:37 am
rubyfoo
hi lynxx, I'm whining as usual
6:37 am
sandyloo
this is the place to do it ruby we are very sympathetic
6:38 am
rubyfoo
thank God for that! It's been a very bad period
6:38 am
Lizlin
I've got to go - busy day tomorrow then Canadian guests arrive for a week. Ruby, really hope things work out well. Sandy's right about you both missing Ruby - and that will affect your husband's reactions. Will be thinking of you and will look in over the next week when i can to find out how things are.
6:39 am
lynxxx
Seems to me Ruby that you aren't over Ruby s death yet. If this pup is not the one for you then why not wait until the right one comes along. Ruffie is still a pup and I am sure keeps you fully occupied. As for your husband - he is old and ailing, you know everything is revolving more and more around himself. You are doing very well to handle the situation.
6:39 am
lynxxx
bye Liz - hope the weather is good for your guests
6:39 am
sandyloo
ruby keep your spirit and remember that the Tour is coming in a few months
6:40 am
rubyfoo
you are probably right, lynxx. We were just so happy to have found Rafaella so quickly and she looks just like my first chow, Rosie
6:41 am
rubyfoo
I thought that was a sign
6:42 am
uusue2
Hi, all, so sorry to hear about the pup, ruby!
6:42 am
lynxxx
I understand. Though I did think you were pretty good to have 2 puppies at once.
6:43 am
sandyloo
I so understand just be patient and it will work out and lynxx is right ruby
6:43 am
rubyfoo
these dogs are so fragile that we need to have 2 at a time
6:43 am
lynxxx
really? why are they fragile - they seem very robust to me.
6:44 am
rubyfoo
I think they are too inbred. Ruby lasted until 10 years, the best of any of our 6
6:44 am
sandyloo
there are breeds that do need to be kept two at a time - that japanese dog akitas are the same
6:45 am
rubyfoo
have you seen the movie Hachi? It's about a famous akita
6:45 am
sandyloo
no I haven't
6:46 am
rubyfoo
Richard Gere stars and it's very touching
6:47 am
sandyloo
I am such a crier in movies that i avoid anything too moving, i am really pathetic
6:47 am
sandyloo
my kids say i need therapy
6:47 am
rubyfoo
me, too, sandy, but maybe tears are therapeutic.....
6:48 am
sandyloo
I feel happier after watching Sister Act and such - I hate crying
6:48 am
sandyloo
but Ruby some tears are definitely therapeutic
6:50 am
sandyloo
we have had a state government election today
6:50 am
sandyloo
my team won in a landslide
6:51 am
sandyloo
liberal gov in here
6:51 am
lynxxx
labor - libs?
6:51 am
sandyloo
7 percent swing to the libs
6:51 am
rubyfoo
that's good news about the elction. I'm sure your politics are in the right place!
6:51 am
sandyloo
the libs have been good for wa and they have some good projects in the works
6:52 am
lynxxx
while our lib leader bailed out!
6:52 am
sandyloo
careful ruby lynxx might be onthe other side but i like debate anyway
6:52 am
sandyloo
that was bizarre lyn
6:52 am
rubyfoo
you guys are 10 hours and a continent away!
6:52 am
lynxxx
don't care that much either way...but would like Gillard to get back in - she is a breathe of fresh air and doing good stuff
6:53 am
sandyloo
lyn is in victoria
6:53 am
rubyfoo
(no ARROW) BUT LOVES YOU BOTH
6:53 am
sandyloo
the labourites wouldn't let her come to wa during the campaign
6:54 am
lynxxx
Not really Sandy, his heart wasn't in it - ever - it seems.
6:54 am
sandyloo
must have been the case, that is why i really like Barnet here , i feel his heart is so here
6:55 am
sandyloo
Politics is such a fickle thing
6:55 am
sandyloo
one day a hero next a zero
6:56 am
lynxxx
and thats why I think Gillard is good - she really wants to make good decisions for the country. Abbot - pfft. Now if Turbull got another shot
6:56 am
rubyfoo
I'm adopting that as my personal slogan
6:57 am
sandyloo
I was just playing a game (Serpentine) which is mainly inhabited by usa ites and i mentioned our election- this caused a great debate about the gun laws in the us and should felons have the right to vote until everyone left the game LOL
6:57 am
rubyfoo
nice going, sandy! Americans are crazy on that subject
6:57 am
sandyloo
I prefer Turnbull , and I do think Gillard has here heart in the right place but .... I dont know about the feds really , I only know about our state
6:58 am
sandyloo
I feel like a trouble maker Ruby lol
6:58 am
rubyfoo
some of y best friends.....
6:58 am
sandyloo
They all got very overheated , I was taken aback
6:59 am
lynxxx
The US seems very sensitive to any comments on their internal stuff
6:59 am
rubyfoo
not me, lynxx
7:00 am
sandyloo
over sensitive i feel Aussies seem to take it on the chin, I think we are more reasonable
7:00 am
rubyfoo
feels very far away after 15 yrs in France
7:00 am
sandyloo
or more lay back perhaps
7:00 am
sandyloo
do you miss the usa Ruby
7:00 am
rubyfoo
only my son and the food
7:00 am
sandyloo
Barnett is giving his acceptance speech or victory speech...
7:01 am
sandyloo
Ruby, I thought the food in France would be fabulous compared tothe us
7:01 am
rubyfoo
not in this region
7:02 am
sandyloo
except for the breakfasts in both countries!
7:02 am
rubyfoo
the scenery makes up for it, however
7:02 am
sandyloo
Paris was good
7:02 am
sandyloo
not the breakfast tho
7:02 am
lynxxx
Is the produce good where you are Ruby?
7:03 am
rubyfoo
food in Paris is much better than here. There isn't a single decent Orietal resto here
7:03 am
rubyfoo
yes, produce is good and cheap. Meat is awful
7:03 am
sandyloo
Aus has fabulous food and Melbourne is one of the best places for it
7:03 am
sandyloo
Lots of horses eh?
7:04 am
rubyfoo
I'd rather eat horse! Beef here isn't Worth eating
7:04 am
sandyloo
am I in a stirring mood tonight? I don't mean to be
7:04 am
sandyloo
I am in enough trouble on the other site
7:05 am
rubyfoo
now I've probably offended sandy and lynxx1!
7:05 am
JBV
good morning (evening) - hi ruby - we had a meet up last night in New Jersey and we all sent out warm vibrations to you
7:05 am
sandyloo

7:06 am

7:08 am
rubyfoo

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!! but first a bit of info on it before i post the link... marina abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.
At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened..... http://tinyurl.com/at4zyqf

crossy, it means a lot to me, as I have recently had some very emotional reunions with my family

7:51 am

you can watch it without sound, welki - it's all nonverbal anyway

it is nice,jbv when a tidbit of mine connects with someone in unforseen ways
7:51 am
JBV
although the music is very nice
7:54 am
crosshair
i also watched it with sound off(need new speakers) and was interestin trying to read them both.the man was happy to see her of course,still loved her,that is very clear,but also mourns for what was lost,what could of been but is also happy that she is ok and has found herself and is fufilled in her life.cannot read her though.only been married 20 years.cannot read women yet;))))

I wonder if he just walked out the door
7:56 am
crosshair
i figure another 30 years or so and i will have it,mubner
7:56 am
JBV
her reaction must be colored by knowing that she is "performing" and everyone is watching her. A strange situation. I wonder what happened after......
7:56 am
JBV
hi BR - we were wondering the same thing. Did they meet up afterwards?
7:56 am
crosshair
not coloured much i think.he is so focused and riveted on her that outside influences would be minor at most
7:57 am
o-o
My many therapists told me repeatedly I did not understand ... how could I understand another?
8:02 am
crosshair
a love that intense that has survived in him for that long would be like a time machine.it would take them both back in a heartbeat to times before the great wall and that last moment together on the wall saying goodbye would be clear and pure as when it happened.remember your first love? i do and that point in time when all was new and her face was foremost in your mind every day all day no matter what you were doing till you started presenting an aura that other could feel.strangers would smile at you as you ran though your day ,as you prayed for time to fly so you could meet again;)
8:02 am
crosshair
ok,rambling.time for meds and tea
8:04 am

I was a ho 5/12 and I ho4/5d in on puzzle earlier and found 140 words. Then I must confe4/7 I used list to help me find 10 more words. Now here's a story.In Se 4/5ember of 1980, when my tw4/8 si6/18 was a kid, she was raking up some leaves that had been st6/30 about on the lawn. She raked over a ho6/21's ne4/4. The ow 5/18s of that ne 4/4 were not happy and she was stung by a bunch of ho 7/32. Fortunately, she is not pr5/12 to being allergic to bees,however, as she ran back to the house crying,she tripped and she tw 5/18ed her ankle. She made a not so wi4/8 choice to keep running and made her ankle worse. She we 4/9 for a long time.I am sure the ho6/21's found another place to re 6/18 after attacking my si6/18. Hubby is being a pe 4/5 and looking at me st 4/4ly because he wants the computer. I will give it to him so things do not get te 5/10. Now I am going to st 4/5 away from computer and go watch "The Untouchables", a movie about gangster Eliot Ne 4/4 while my hubby si 4/4 at computer and plays games. If I am not too tired and feel pe 4/5 enough,I'll return to the Babble websi4/4 to clue for the re4/4 of the ni4/4 after the movie. I hope you found more words,at least the easy on 4/4.

Minveryork
You're going to Vermont for your vacation? How nice
7:55 pm
westford

7:55 pm
westford
the best part is we get to see our daughter and her husband..he's coming out to run in the Boston marathon
7:55 pm
Minveryork
Westford, I am thinking of doing a Babble meet-up in VT in August. Would ya be able to goto Vermont then

7:56 pm
westford
depends on when..we're going to be in Quebec for part of the time
7:56 pm

7:56 pm
westford
harry did you find a place?
7:57 pm
HarryHood
haven't even begun looking
7:57 pm
Minveryork
HarryHood, are you moving from Conn to Mass? Both states are close to Vt.Would you consider coming to the Babble meet-up in Vermont in August?
7:57 pm
westford
you really should consider Westford
7:57 pm
westford
it's a real place and very nice
7:57 pm
Mary
sorry, (2) ho9's
7:58 pm
HarryHood
perhaps min, but probably not - I'm a bit overwhelmed with 5 kids and prepping new courses for the fall with a new job
7:58 pm
westford
Mary I only have one 9 and can't find it
7:58 pm
HarryHood
aah I just mapped it - looks nice and rural
7:59 pm
Minveryork
That would overwhelm me. Are you teaching a course
7:59 pm
westford
very good schools too
7:59 pm
HarryHood
I will hopefully have a new high school teaching job - but they want me to teach 5 courses I've never taught before.
8:00 pm
o-o
The second ho 9 ends in cravats
8:00 pm
westford

8:00 pm
HarryHood
private school in brookline, hopefully

westford
Conan O'Brien's alma mater?
8:01 pm
HarryHood
hah I think not! It's a jewish school, I don't think they've ever had an O'brien as a student
8:02 pm
westford
I assume the position doesn't come with a residence
8:03 pm
HarryHood
unfortunately not. We're looking into newton.
8:03 pm
HarryHood
wife will be commuting to billerica
8:04 pm

hey bugs
8:38 pm
smores
Hi stidmama, Bugsaw :)
8:38 pm
Bugsaw
it looks like school is settling down finally
8:42 pm
Lizlin
Hi stid, smores and Bugs :)
8:42 pm
stidmama
pretty much -- I am down to the last couple of weeks, still planning for lessons, but knowing that the kids are going to be "done" before the regular teacher gets back. I am also applying for a job at a different school that would finish out the year for me... that would be an "easier" grade (4th grade) but a more difficult situation as I would be replacing a long-term sub for the original teacher.
8:42 pm
stidmama
hey lizlin
8:43 pm
stidmama
hey welki!
8:43 pm
Lizlin
Hi welki - sounds like you had a great babble meeting :)
8:44 pm
Bugsaw
so the teacher you are replacing now will be coming back? I was never sure and was starting to think they would let you end the year.
8:44 pm
stidmama
we weren't sure, either for a while.
8:45 pm
stidmama
I would have ended the year if the teacher weren't coming back... but since he is, I am looking for another long-term. It's harder in a lot of ways, but a lot more fulfulling in most ways.
8:45 pm
welki
we did, liz - wish i could do it more often :)
8:45 pm
smores
Finished!!!
8:45 pm
nrkii
wtg smores!
8:45 pm
Lizlin
New jobs are always challenging but you know, stid, that after a week or two, you've got the kids!
8:45 pm
Lizlin
Congrats smores :)
8:45 pm
stidmama
YAY smores!
8:46 pm
stidmama
hey nrk! Loved the babble meet pics you posted
8:46 pm
smores
Hi nrkii :)
8:46 pm
Bugsaw
YAY smores and hi nrkii
8:46 pm
stidmama
who did welki get together with?
8:46 pm
nrkii
my poor phone takes blurry pictures in dim lighting, but the people were worth seeing so I posted them anyways :)
8:46 pm
Lizlin
Are they in your profile?
8:47 pm
nrkii
I'm waiting for Welki to share the group shot :)
8:47 pm
nrkii
Liz, I put them on FB
8:47 pm
stidmama
wait -- welki is the one I didn't recognize in your pics????
8:47 pm
nrkii
stid, welki wasn't in any of the pics I posted
8:47 pm
welki
i wasn't in them - hang on
8:48 pm
stidmama
oh.... *confused but happy mama look* I am just glad she was there!
8:48 pm
nrkii
maybe JBV was the one you didn't recognize? She's not on facebook so I couldn't tag her
8:49 pm
welki
the photo could use some editing - to get the glare streak out and fix our funky voodoo eyes, but it gets the point across - we had F.U.N. !!!
8:49 pm
stidmama
that's probably who that was!
8:49 pm
nrkii
oh nice, Welki!
8:49 pm
Lizlin
Nice photos :)
8:49 pm
nrkii
If you get a chance to send that my way, I'd love a copy
8:50 pm
nrkii
okay, help with the se9 please?
8:50 pm
stidmama
it's really tiny.... but nice
8:50 pm
nrkii

8:50 pm
welki
didn't want to mess up chat with a big pic
8:51 pm
stidmama

8:51 pm
nrkii

8:54 pm
lbdawger
Stiddy!!
8:54 pm
stidmama
that has been my experience with babbler get-togethers, too, welki!
8:55 pm
stidmama
how are you my dear LBD? I have DAFFODILS! and PINK hyacinths! and lettuce and baby bok choi in the cold frame!
8:56 pm
nrkii
I keep wanting st9 to be "the quality of a hardy soup" but it won't take it
8:56 pm
lbdawger
i'm pooped, and no veggies or vegetation to speak of other than my brain.
8:57 pm
lbdawger
st9 has to do with bug anatomy
8:57 pm
stidmama
sorry about the lack of plant life, LBD. I know it will show up for you eventually -- we are also (I can tell from the nibble-marks) getting a bumper-crop of slugs this year, thanks to the overly-mild weather.
8:57 pm
welki
if strict bugs infested the foundation of your home, you might have something that sounds like st9
8:58 pm
welki
or disciplinarian ores :)
8:58 pm
stidmama
oooh! I GOT THAT CLUE!!! *bounce bounce*
8:58 pm
stidmama
I think the coffee is starting to kick in...
8:58 pm
lbdawger
the ground is covered with deer and turkey feces, mud and dead vegetation. we are officially in the season of MUD
8:59 pm
welki
sounds lovely, dawg
9:00 pm
lbdawger
:-) we did have a lovely day today. actually could feel the warmth from the bright nuclear furnace in the sky
9:01 pm
welki
i know we're not done with winter yet - still have another (counting) 4 months until summer - and even then, we could still have snow
9:02 pm
Bugsaw
hi everyone. I wandered off to check the photos of the meetup
9:03 pm
lbdawger
hi bugs. yeah, the customers today were loading up on fertilizer, rakes, and other assorted gardening stuff. I had to remind a few that there's still snow on the notch...no need to plant or get carried away til that's all melted...at least another month if not two.
9:04 pm
smores
I wandered off too...chatting with my girls
9:04 pm
smores
Where are the photos posted ?

9:05 pm
stidmama

9:05 pm
stidmama
hey ruru
9:05 pm
rururocks
......followed the popcorn back to the chat....
9:05 pm
stidmama
oooh! I like the "everyone" picture!
9:05 pm
lbdawger

9:09 pm
Bugsaw
smart idea except for times like this
9:11 pm
stidmama
I only facebook with distant friends... everyone else I either connect with in other ways, or we just don't connect. I am trying hard to be partway between the crowd of people who have no ability to wait and the crowd of people who still wonder how electric lights work...
9:13 pm
smores
Not big on facebook either ruru
9:14 pm
rururocks
I really don't have any interest in Facebook.. not exactly sure why
9:15 pm
Bugsaw
I joined it so I could see pictures but now I can't control it or even leave it. It has taken over
9:16 pm
stidmama
I got sucked in to a couple of games I enjoyed for a while, but when I realized what huge time-wasters they were I dropped them.
9:16 pm
stidmama
Sort of like babble... I dare not log in most week nights! LOL
9:17 pm
Minveryork
However,Babble is NOT a waste of time stidmama.I'm also guilty of wasting time playing FaceBook games.
9:17 pm
stidmama
hey Min! welcome to the chog
9:18 pm
Minveryork
Hi there stidmama! How is you weekend going so far?
9:18 pm

stidmama
glad that snow is melting, Min -- you-all are pretty done with winter I suspect...
9:21 pm
welki
it was wonderful, min - great group of people. we laughed, had a terrific meal and felt more like a reunion than a first-time meeting
9:22 pm
Bugsaw
^That is the best way to describe a Babble meetup welki!
9:22 pm
welki

9:23 pm
stidmama
she was on earlier :-)
9:24 pm
stidmama
well, I have tests to write and lessons to plan. *headbang* Next time I volunteer for a long-term position I hope I do it for a content area I know really well (instead of one I used to tutor people in 20 years ago).
9:24 pm
stidmama
**hugs and choclits for all**
*poof*
9:24 pm

Good Evening, All. First time on today; and such a time to enter! "Tinklingfest?" And smores is laughing about it? ;-) Our Babble friends can be weird, I guess.
9:42 pm
Minveryork
welki, I was this close ][ to coming to your meet-up!I drove to work Friday not knowing that there was no school that day.If I had had extra clothes with me, I would have continued on to New Jersey in snowstorm
9:42 pm
Minveryork
Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.

9:44 pm
Nef
Just sent a very sick little boy home with his parents. I've been calling my son all day that Ronnie wanted to go home and wasn't feeling well; and they got here at 9:30PM. I'm tired.

9:45 pm
smores

9:47 pm

My DIL decided to spring clean today and they spent the day re-arranging furniture too. I'm just upset since Ronnie never wants to go home; but he's been asking his daddy to come take him home since lunch.
9:47 pm
Nef
Now, that's off my chest. So tell me: who was at the meet-up and how was it?

10:02 pm
cosdem

10:04 pm
Nef
I think that after "seeing" so many people here for so many years; we are like good old friends (for the most part). I'm hoping that we can go to Montana this summer (DH had better not get sick again!) and I can arrange to meet some Babblers there when we go to my niece's wedding.
10:05 pm
welki
there are at least three babblers in montana, so if you make the trip, it's likelly that you'd be able to meet at least some of them, nef
10:06 pm
welki
(you know, i saved your icon all this time, nef, in case you lose it again)
10:06 pm
cosdem
Facebook, Nef.
10:06 pm
Minveryork
I might be planning a meet-up for this summer as well
10:06 pm
Nef
I was set to meet up with lbd and Harpjane back in 2009 or 2010; but DH got sick and we had to cancel our trip (I missed an nephew's wedding that time)
10:07 pm
cosdem
<-- not that far from montana. would love to make up the chance to see nef
10:07 pm
Nef

Nef

10:12 pm
nrkii
Ha! I'm not Nellie. Just a wannabe.
10:12 pm
Nef
cos, I understand. I had planned a whole bunch of stuff we could do that night; but I was unaware that you were deaf; and I would have been driving and taking you on a tour of the Cities in the dark (and I don't sign).
10:12 pm
cosdem
I love Vermont in June. Gets chilly enough for a sweater. I miss it :(
10:13 pm
cosdem
thats kinda why i backed out lol.. its a stupid thing.. i dont like telling people i cant hear. im sorry. its stupid. its an issue ive been working on.
10:17 pm
Nef
If I would have known, I would have tried to learn a smattering of signs for you. The uncle who raised me had a brother who was legally blind and also deaf and mute. He lived alone in downtown St. Paul and I used to know some short cuts so we could communicate; but Uncle Willy died in 1975 and I don't remember anything now
10:19 pm
cosdem
Well I hope for a chance to make up for it. I liked Minneapolis and want to visit again.
10:19 pm
nrkii
I started to learn sign years and years ago. Got the alphabet nailed. Find myself practicing it once in a while. But got sidetracked right about when I was moving into words.
10:19 pm
Nef
I know my daughter's old friend teaches deaf students and she could teach me something
10:21 pm
cosdem
People say ABCs are easiest but I find its the other way.. especially if you teach yourself.
10:21 pm
Nef
Let me know ahead of time and (if necessary) I'll even get her to translate for us (she lived across the street and called me Mom too.
10:22 pm

10:24 pm
nrkii
I really can't be expected to do math while babbling, can I?
