Disney cats?
2:08 am

the disney movie that is about cats. One of the old ones.
2:08 am
m9f9l
Yup. Everybody wants to be a cat....
2:09 am
flosey
I googled it
2:10 am
m9f9l
Because a cat's the only cat, that knows where it's at...
2:10 am
sprite
or the french word for noblemen... A la lanterne les ar....
2:10 am
m9f9l
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
'cause everything else is obsolete.
2:11 am
m9f9l
Now a square with a horn,
can make you wish you weren't born,
ever'time he plays;
and with a square in the act,
he can set music back
to the caveman days.
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
but a cat's the only cat
who knows how to swing.
2:12 am
m9f9l
while playin' jazz you always has a Welcome mat,
'cause everybody digs a swingin' cat.
2:13 am
flosey
wow m9, what a memory
2:14 am
sprite
I can offer the dutch version, lol, but not the english one
2:14 am
m9f9l
Well... I knew some of it,LOL.. I looked it up, cause i just had to share it. You dig?
2:14 am

2:20 am
sprite

2:20 am
flosey
oh, I'd love to hear you, always loved that hymn
2:21 am
sprite
my first ai6 starts with what you breathe and ends in what is nice after hard work
2:21 am
gapeach
The most of what we breathe, flosey.
2:21 am
flosey
ah, thanks sprite and peach
2:22 am
flosey
have you ever heard anyone use that word?
2:23 am
gapeach
No. I wonder if it has ever been used. LOL
2:23 am
sprite
only in enable
2:23 am
flosey
yes, most likely
2:25 am
sprite
at some point, the compiler threw in some random made up words, because he was certain nobody would ever use his dictionary in a consistent way. Then Babble came and ever since, the compiler lives in fear.
2:26 am
flosey
good one sprite
2:36 am
m9f9l
Flosey, are you on fb?
2:36 am
flosey
yes but only used when contacted - daughter put me in there

2:37 am
flosey

2:39 am
m9f9l

2:41 am
flosey

2:42 am
sprite
must be tough to see someone you love with Alzheimer
2:42 am
flosey
I haven't seen her since moving west
2:42 am
m9f9l
That would be hard.
2:43 am
flosey
she does know her hubby, but not the kids
2:43 am
sprite
was thinking of her daughter... being in contact with you must help her a lot
2:44 am
flosey
she is such a great young lady, she is a great help for her Dad, in caring for mom
2:45 am
sprite
that is wonderful
2:50 am
flosey
I'd love to see her but it would be very awkward (locationwise) she is up in the Muskoka district living on a small lake
2:50 am
sprite
perhaps some day you could meet in the middle?
2:52 am
flosey
I don't drive in Ontario anymore, would involve getting someone to take me, etc.
2:53 am
sprite
very awkward indeed. Well, yay for fb then :)
2:54 am
flosey
yes, and dear sweet niece (I think of he ras niece, she calls me Aunt) who keeps me in touch

3:02 am
sprite

3:02 am
grannyrose

3:03 am
sprite
{{{{{{{{rose}}}}}}}}
3:03 am
grannyrose
brace allows full range of movement, just stops the knee from clunking sideways.
3:03 am
grannyrose
AND i even have to wear it in BED!! for goodness sake. talk about a turn-off.
3:04 am
sprite
oh my, that stinks badly. Time for kinky sex, rose!
3:04 am

3:06 am
flosey

3:07 am
grannyrose
but, but, but
3:07 am

3:13 am
grannyrose
mind pictures are killing me....have either of you thought that it won't be ME getting caught in it.....just think about who will be doing most of the moving....
3:13 am

the whole point of summer is that it is warm
10:11 am
hurshy
i hate over-AC.
10:13 am
uusue2
me too, hurshy!
10:13 am
uusue2
sometimes they turn off the heat in our buildings too soon, then we get a cold snap, and we really freeze
10:13 am
hurshy
i mean i love AC, don't get me wrong. i don't wanna not have it. i just don't want to freeze either.
10:14 am
hurshy
and it's one thing to freeze in the winter when you think oh well at least we're saving energy but in the summer when you know it is WASTING energy!
10:15 am
mael
I wear a sweater more often in the summer than I do in winter, businesses just go nuts with the AC here
10:17 am
MimiCat
Morning, all. It's kind of difficult to get a place too cold here when it's 110 degrees...no one can afford to get a place that cold!

Hey, does anyone know what's going on with crossy? He wasn't on at all yesterday that I could see and he's not here this morning....mama Mimi is getting concerned.

I think I'll em him later if I still don't see him here. Must keep track of our crossy!

We're going to SF in September. Daughter is expecting our first grandchild
10:41 am
kje
I must say, I do love living in northern CA, not sure I'd feel the same about southern though
10:42 am
MimiCat
SF is simply a magical place to me. Once we took the Golden Gate bridge to Marin and drove to Stinson at dusk and saw a bobcat bound across the road. So many wonderful places in northern CA. No, southern is not the same, though I lived in the LA area for 7 years.
10:43 am
MimiCat
I am seriously looking into coming back early next year, kje. Already looking for something I can afford...which isn't much, unfortunately. I've really had it with Phoenix. These are NOT my people!
10:43 am
kje
We may go to stinson beach to watch the moon on the 23rd, or maybe muir beach as less crowded
10:43 am
MimiCat
If I had the funds, I'd beg to join you, kje!
10:43 am
kje
I commiserate, mimi... that is how I felt when I lived in Dallas... fish out of water
10:44 am
tabbycat
We lived in the DFW area for a while too...didn't care for it
10:45 am
MimiCat
The first time I came to CA in the early 70's I just knew I had found my people and the place I was meant to be.
10:45 am
kje
affordability is the kicker, mimi
10:45 am
kje
when were you there, tabby?
10:45 am
MimiCat
Phoenix is a desert both geographically and politically. VERY hard to have my politics and live here in right-wing hell.
10:46 am
tabbycat
In the late 70's and early 80's
10:47 am
tabbycat
Husband worked in Dallas, but we always lived out of town, first south of FW in Burleson and later north of Dallas in McKinney and later Sherman
10:47 am
MimiCat
My godson had a full scholarship to Berkeley and is now in D.C. working on his doctorate. When he's done, he and his wife are moving back to Berkeley and his mother (my best friend of 44 years) and I are planning to move there as well. Between the two of us we may be able to afford something.
10:48 am
tabbycat
We'd love to move to the SF area to be closer to our grandson but doubt we could ever afford it
10:48 am
tabbycat
Our politics would fit in better there too
10:48 am
MimiCat
kje, what would be some good areas to look into for something not so outrageously expensive? I was thinking Mendocino, Modesto, Napa...anywhere smaller but close enough to SF to drive in and, of course, to often visit my FAVORITE place....Carmel.
10:48 am
kje
wow, those are long commutes, tabby!
10:49 am
tabbycat
Well, his office was first on the very southern edge of Dallas, so he was driving across country south of town. I worked in FW then.
10:50 am
tabbycat
Later his office moved to the northern edge of town, so we moved to McKinney, then Sherman
10:50 am
kje
I'm no expert on the area, mimi... but those sound decent, or anywhere south on the peninsula is usually cheaper, east bay but then you get into the heat... or, do the studio rental in SF and be close to it all ; )
10:50 am
tabbycat
Yep, long commutes...about 60 miles or so every day
10:51 am
MimiCat
Don't want to get anywhere near Oakland, for sure. I have a lot of homework to do looking. But it will be a labor of love!
10:51 am
kje
mimi - with a roommate, you can probe get a decent deal in many places... 2 def live cheaper than 1 here, by a long shot
10:51 am
kje
prob, not probe (still slang : )
10:52 am
MimiCat
I actually have a large picture of the Golden Gate lit up at night on my dining room wall with a lamp that shines on it and makes the lights on the bridge really look like they're shining.
10:52 am
kje
outer sunset down by ocean beach has some inexpensive places, as does the outer richmond... areas that are foggy in summer ; )
10:53 am
tabbycat
What price ranges for outer Richmond? Daughter and son in law used to live in inner Richmond.
10:53 am
MimiCat
Her mother is 84 and may outlive us all, so that would make it three and extra money....if my sanity could handle living with her again. Tried it once for a few months and left practically screaming.
10:53 am
kje
and then, depending on your age, you may qualify for some of the senior deals with stricter rent control in some apts for older adults
10:54 am
tabbycat
That sounds promising since we are both retired now
10:55 am
kje
under $2K, for a 2BR, which is significantly cheaper than other parts of the city
10:55 am
kje
that is for outer richmond
10:55 am
tabbycat
Gotta run...thanks for the info
10:55 am
MimiCat
The only advantage to being older! I'm 62 so probably would qualify. My friend is 64.
10:56 am
kje
if you are willing to live up in napa, sonoma, etc, you can bring the rents way down, mimi... I saw some for 1200-1500 small houses up north, 2 BR, etc when I first started looking out here
10:56 am
MimiCat
Wow---that's still really high. I have a one-bedroom apt. that's over 720 sq. ft. with a large balcony overlooking a nice courtyard and a full-size washer and dryer for $520 a month....will never beat that.
10:57 am
kje
nope, you will be nowhere near that out here. phoenix is much much cheaper
10:58 am
MimiCat
I was kind of thinking about Napa area. I'd really like a small house so I can have flower and veg gardens again. The advantage I have is that I can liver anywhere since I don't have to worry about commuting to work.
10:58 am
kje
if you move, you'll have to live smaller ; )
10:58 am
kje
the city is your home, not the house ; )
11:00 am
MimiCat
My other options are staying here and moving up into the mountains, Colorado, northern Idaho...keeping my mind open. But I definitely left my heart in SF!
11:01 am
kje
gotta run.. hagd all
11:02 am
MimiCat
Thanks for the info, kje! You have a good one, too.

5:31 pm
Jillyjill
Hi penquis!!
5:32 pm
lilliann
aye, he'll be ok once the warfrin(sp?) kicks in. he went in with pains up his neck into his head but as it happens that's just a spasm, but they found his pulse was beating irregulary and that if he hadn't have gone in yesterday he would have more than likely had a heart attack, but he's not been bothered about that today but the pain in his neck!
5:34 pm
Jillyjill
Scary....or a stroke either...
5:34 pm
lilliann
oh, and the fact that he has more tablets to take and he has to lose weight, which we;ve all been telling him lately but he won't listen to us, so hopefully he will to the doctors.they'll keep him in until his heart beat goes back to normal
5:37 pm
lilliann
i only knew that he'd gone into hospital in the early hours as he had rang my next door neighbour instead of his other son.he'll be ok if he remembers to take his tablets and have the regular blood tests.the bairn will definitely remind him. she was his personal nurse when we went to see him earlier:)
5:37 pm
lilliann
right i'm off, nice to see you jill and pen, bye and tc:)
