Hello -- late again
12:36 am
Lizlin
Hi Jilli :)
12:37 am
jillibus
Had to finish watching Midsomer Murders.
12:37 am
Lizlin
I used to enjoy that show when I lived in England.
12:38 am
cybernan
nbs, nbt and 85 down -- that's all for tonight :)

(I went away for a bit)
1:03 am
Lizlin
Grid started off so well but has slowed down now :(
1:08 am
MimiCat
Just popped in for a moment. Wanted to say hi and bye. ((Liz)) Hugs all around.
1:08 am
Lizlin
Hi Mimi - read about your new job. Hope it's going ok.
1:09 am
MimiCat
((flosey))
1:09 am
MimiCat
((jilli))
1:09 am
MimiCat
Thanks, Liz. It starts on Tuesday. Resting up this weekend!
1:09 am
flosey
beautiful icon, Mimi
1:09 am
grannyrose
and cooee from me
1:10 am
Lizlin
Look forward to hearing about it Mimi.
1:10 am
MimiCat
Thanks, flosey. It's a waterfall in Iceland with an Aurora in the sky.
1:10 am
Lizlin
Hey Rose - how's the knee today?
1:10 am
jillibus
hi granny
1:10 am
Lizlin
Would love to go to Iceland but reckon that now I live downunder, there's not too much chance of it!
1:10 am
grannyrose
hey mimi, what's this about a new job, hun?
1:10 am
grannyrose
hello dear jilli
1:11 am
grannyrose
liz, thanx for asking, knee seems to improve everyday. only ached a little overnight.
1:11 am
MimiCat
Yes, rose, I finally got a job doing radiology transcription (which is what I've done the past 30 years) part-time at home. Hopefully, my financial crisis is over.
1:12 am
grannyrose
oh, wow, mimi. what a perfect job. how good is that!?!
1:12 am
jillibus
two of our library stalwarts are holidaying in Iceland right now. She is of that heritage.
1:12 am
Lizlin
That's so good to hear Rose - and you've not had the brace on for that long yet!
1:12 am
Lizlin
sounds excellent Mimi - hope it works out really well.
1:12 am
jillibus
good news for both of you!
1:13 am
grannyrose
just shows to go you, liz. all it needed was the correct treatment.
1:13 am
MimiCat
The down side is that the main dr. I must transcribe is the worst I've ever heard in 30 years. But I'll just consider it a challenge and dig in! At least I won't have to ride the bus in 106 degree heat!
1:13 am
Lizlin
Sounds so weird but Old Icelandic was a unit of study for me when i was at uni - not that I learnt to speak any icelandic but it was fun reading the sagas!
1:13 am
grannyrose
and with all your experience, i'm sure you are going to be just fine and dandy.
1:14 am
MimiCat
One of my best friends is a tenured prof in astrophysics and he went to Iceland for a conference. Said it was absolutely beautiful.
1:14 am
Lizlin
I'm also sure it'll be fine and you'll get used to that doctor's speech.
1:15 am
Lizlin
Friends of mine have been there - jealous!
1:15 am
Lizlin
They also had a great time and their photos were beautiful.
1:15 am
jillibus
It seems to be quite a popular destination now -- one of our bridge pals went there too.
1:15 am
MimiCat
Am making sure I'll have plenty of vodka for the end of the day, rose, to relax after the tension of having to concentrate so intensely. The group of drs. she works for has already lost 3 other transcription services because they didn't want to transcribe her!
1:15 am
grannyrose
hey mimi, at least you don't have to decipher the chicken's scrawl i have to do. i swear the doctors take lessons in how to confound a nurse.
1:16 am
Lizlin
You'd think she'd realise something was not quite right then!
1:16 am
Lizlin
Doctors and children! Now what can we learn from that???
1:16 am
MimiCat
Apparently, this dr. is totally clueless. They've tried talking to her but to no avail. Seems counterproductive to dictate that badly when you want your reports to be accurate.
1:17 am
grannyrose
and the anaesthetists have lessons in how many different ways can you tangle cables, iv lines, arteial lines, drain tubes and catheters.
1:17 am
Lizlin
And is it your job to untangle the lines?
1:17 am
MimiCat
If I could work with her directly I could probably influence her, but I won't have any direct contact.
1:18 am
Lizlin
You can only do your best Mimi and I'm sure you will.
1:18 am
MimiCat
Doctors AND children? Many times doctors ARE children!
1:18 am
grannyrose
you know mimi, maybe spend a few hours with her at the clinic, pick up on her accent and the way she says things, it might help if you are used to her voice when it comes to transcribing her notes.
1:18 am
Lizlin
My thoughts!
1:19 am
Lizlin
I was thinking about deciphering kid's writing!
1:19 am
MimiCat
I had another job offer that I almost took but it would require riding two buses and standing on my feet for 6 hours on the days I worked. I'm just not up to that at this point. Still having heart symptoms.
1:19 am
grannyrose
lol, liz, only if we want the iv's to run, and the catheters to drain...
1:19 am
Lizlin
You look after yourself. This job sounds much more suitable.'
1:20 am
Lizlin
Which I guess you do or certainly the patient does!
1:20 am
MimiCat
I can't, rose. She's in Colorado. The owner of the service I'll be working for knows how bad she is and actually asked me to listen to her before accepting the job so I'd know what I as getting into!
1:20 am
ursh
hello all - please could i have the stats for the middle D - I have typed deduct 10 times at least
1:21 am
grannyrose
oh, so true, mimi...we have some newly graduated surgeons working , and i look at them and think, who is this child? they are younger than 2 of my sons...
1:21 am
Lizlin
de 6 / 24 - monkeyed it a minute ago
1:21 am
ursh
tx liz will look
1:21 am
jillibus
nbs but not nbt
1:22 am
grannyrose
what nationality is she, mimi?
1:22 am
Lizlin
WTG Jilli - I'm also missing that corner t and the bottom a! Still, 3 short of 100 so not doing too badly!
1:22 am
MimiCat
The lady who hired me (the owner of the service) seems really cool. She has already said she's happy to have me and is sure I'll be a valuable asset to the company. I like praise!
1:22 am
Lizlin
We all do better with praise!
1:23 am
grannyrose
liz, te5/12
1:23 am
MimiCat
She's American, rose. I've transcribed drs. from all over the world, working in teaching hospitals, and none of them were as bad as this woman. Her problem is she talks unnaturally fast. She's like some sort of alien chipmunk!
1:23 am
grannyrose
ae6/7 combo
1:23 am
Lizlin
Found the ae combo - thanks
1:24 am
grannyrose
lol....i wonder if you can slow the recording down a touch.
1:24 am
Lizlin
Love the description, Mimi - lol - perhaps not for you, though!
1:25 am
MimiCat
I can and will. Keeping everything crossed that I'll be able to do it (which makes it difficult to type, see, and walk)!
1:25 am
grannyrose
now there's a thought. load her 'notes' onto the computer and digitally slow her down. i'm sure it can be done.
1:25 am
Lizlin
And babble!
1:26 am
grannyrose
*giggle* but good bladder control, mimi
1:26 am
MimiCat
My boss has already sent me all kinds of reports that she does so I can see the wording and phrasing. The good thing is she only dictates mammograms, pelvic and abdominal ultrasounds. She works for a women's clinic.
1:26 am
MimiCat
LOL, rose!
1:27 am
Lizlin
The reports must be a great help and once you know her phrasing and the technical vocal, it'll get easier.
1:28 am
Lizlin
vocab = that should've said but i guess you already do if you've done this job for 30 years!
1:28 am
MimiCat
Another transcriptionist has been training on her reports for TWO MONTHS already and still can't do them without the boss looking them over. I'm VERY good but she will be a challenge.
1:29 am
MimiCat
With normal drs. who transcribe reasonably well my accuracy rate is 99% and I can do over 100 reports in a day easily. Have a feeling those stats will plummet with this one!
1:31 am
Lizlin
There's the challenge!
1:31 am
MimiCat
Thanks for the support, everyone. Going to bed and finish watching a movie. See you later. Hugs all around and poof!
1:31 am
Lizlin
Time for a break. Good to catch up mimi :)
1:31 am

flosey

puglet

1:46 am

not losing weight is a good sign re: kidneys

9:31 am
Scrabbler

9:46 am

We're camping at Big Sur today
9:46 am

Told my kids to scatter half my ashes over Ouray, CO and the other half over Carmel...that way if they want to visit Mom, they get a nice vacation!
9:46 am
Scrabbler
Fun, bichon!
9:47 am
bichon
Ouray, CO, we met a couple from Ouray while we were hiking in England
9:47 am
MimiCat
OMG, bichon...I'm so envious my teeth are hurting. Make sure you visit Nepenthe. It's a combo art gallery/souvenir shop/restaurant. It is the house Orson Welles bought for Rita Hayworth and has the most magnificant view right on a cliff.
9:48 am
Scrabbler
I want shalf my ashes spread at Thirteenth Lake in the Adirondack Mtns, and the other half at the park near my house. My favorite places.
9:48 am
bichon
I don't think we're going to have any time on a one nighter
9:49 am
MimiCat
You should really try to make time....it's totally worth it. Big Sur is relatively compact so it wouldn't take long to see it.
9:49 am
westford
ooh Nepenthe
9:49 am
MimiCat
Where are you camping?
9:50 am
MimiCat
You know Nepenthe, westford?
9:50 am
westford
yes but didn't now Orson Welles bought it
9:50 am
MimiCat
It was his love nest with Rita Hayworth...I think when they were first married.
9:52 am
MimiCat
I'm like a little travel guide for the U.S. I've driven in/been to every state in the contiguous U.S. except far New England...only got to Boston.

9:52 am

9:58 am
MimiCat
The 3 bad months of summer are the price we pay for living here the rest of the year when it's wonderful weather. We only have 2 seasons in Phoenix...heaven and hell.
9:59 am
westford

10:00 am
westford

10:00 am
MimiCat
My third child was born the beginning of August....was pregnant all summer and with two other small children...not fun.
10:00 am
MimiCat
In Phoenix if you don't like the weather, just grin and bear it because it won't change for a VERY long time!
10:01 am
MimiCat
I can't even remember the last time we had rain...and I ADORE thunderstorms. So I'm not happy about the weather most of the time.

10:22 am
rururocks

10:23 am
kje
had a fire pit, stayed until about 11. Usually closes at sunset, but I guess the ranger was letting people enjoy the moon show, as he hadn't come by to lock up even when we left
10:23 am
kje

10:23 am

I saw Johnny Lang last year and really enjoyed the show
11:49 am

He's still playing. I meant before my rip roaring concert going days were behind me.
11:50 am
rururocks
I know.. all the bands I still wanted to see are all geezers now
11:50 am
Jillyjill
<----wonders why anyone would put rip roaring concert going days behind them ;)
11:53 am
MollyL
Money mostly. I won't go to a concert unless I have decent seats and they are expensive these days.
11:54 am
rururocks
they sure are.
11:56 am
rururocks
what does the 9 begin with?
11:56 am
MollyL
The last concert I had crappy seats for was Elton John. I almost feel like a liar saying I "saw" him in concert. More like a multi-colored dot on the stage.
11:57 am
rururocks
I hear that
11:58 am
rururocks
I went to a rolling stones concert in the 1980's and I was so high up I couldn't stop my nose from Bleeding.. I'll never do that again

11:58 am

Peace and love, concert goers.
11:59 am

You guys went to A-list concerts. I've only seen Huey Lewis (twice), Bonnie Raitt and Bryan Adams.
12:00 pm

Bonnie Raitt is A-list in my book.
12:00 pm
rururocks
I went to the Fillmore when it was in gear... I love Bonnie Raitt.. saw her at least 10 times

Judi
She was fantastic.
12:01 pm

12:02 pm
rururocks
Best show was at Great American Music Hall with her and her Bass player Freebo.. just the two of them
12:03 pm
Judi
Oops. Just remembered another one. One concert we went to had a ton of artists. Stray Cats and Willy Nelson were two that I recall. A lot of other country bands that I ignored.
12:04 pm
MollyL
<---Loves Stray Cats
12:04 pm
onyx
Here is the question for this morning, What is the best show you've ever seen?
12:04 pm
Judi
Never been to any really famous concert halls. Saratoga Performing Arts Center was where we saw most of the talent.
12:04 pm
rururocks

12:06 pm

12:06 pm
rururocks
<--was a little stoned though
12:07 pm

12:09 pm
rururocks
He's one of the very greatest guitarists in the world
12:09 pm
Judi
Yeah, Clapton is outrageously talented. Any of his live stuff is magic to the ears.
12:10 pm
MollyL
Or the DVD, duh
12:10 pm
onyx
Yeah but there so many guitar heroes. I'd love to see Tom Morello play
12:10 pm

12:22 pm
rururocks
his voice is still great
12:23 pm
Judi
Sigh. The Firefly Music Fest is going on right this very minute in Dover, Delaware. A scant 30 miles away from us. Alas, we are not hip enough.
12:23 pm
MollyL
I love the version of "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" that Al Green and Annie Lennox do at the end of "Scrooged"
12:23 pm
Dorens
the best female voice i ever saw was Kiri Te Kanawe...
12:23 pm
rururocks
I love Annie Lennox too
12:24 pm
rururocks
I've never heard of her Doren?
12:24 pm
MollyL
I was not impressed with the Firefly lineup this year.
12:25 pm
Dorens
opera. legendary from New Zealand
12:25 pm
onyx
Ticket prices are so high and i am so short, all i ever see is the back of the person in front of me, cuz everyone stands, that's why i prefer smaller venues
12:26 pm
rururocks
I saw Lewis Black last year for my birthday
12:26 pm
Dorens
she did a recording of west side story with placido domingo and jose carreras with bernstein conducting them. fabulous
12:26 pm
MollyL
Don't like Tom Petty, don't like The Red Hot Chili Peppers and can't stand The Lumineers. The rest are all alias bands.
12:26 pm
rururocks
we have a great small theater in Napa called the Uptown
12:26 pm
Judi
Not that I tried, Molly, but tickets to Firefly sold out almost instantly.
12:26 pm

12:28 pm
rururocks
the years are ramming together now for me these days
12:28 pm
Dorens
my son david is moving out there... no job for either him or his wife but they'll find something. Her sister lives in Napa, parents in Viejo, so they will most likely be in the SF area
12:29 pm
rururocks
*signs Judi up for AARP magazine*
12:29 pm
Dorens
Judi, sorry, but 49 is still young now.. talk to us in ten years (if we remember who you are, or who we are, by then)
12:29 pm
Judi
Gaaah! No AARP. Evil! Evil!
12:29 pm
rururocks
Isn't he teaching in DC?
12:29 pm
MollyL
That is tomorrow Judi. Live it up while you can.
12:29 pm
rururocks
lolololol
12:30 pm
Dorens
That's Jeremy... he's at John Hopkins, Baltimore.
12:30 pm
Judi
My husband has been throwing out his AARP propaganda for four years now.
12:30 pm
MollyL
Eh...DC...Baltimore...you were close
12:31 pm
Dorens
David's the librarian.
in other news... Rachel and her boyfriend bought a house together last Monday (at least their offer was accepted, and the house inspection came out well). Then he broke up with her Friday night. Not good
12:31 pm
rururocks
oh jesus
12:31 pm
Judi
Oh no, Dorens! That's terrible. Sounds like somebody got a major case of cold feet.
12:32 pm
Dorens
Judi, I actually quit AARP, it seems like all they want to do is sell me insurance which I don't want. They are so obnoxious
12:32 pm
rururocks
*wonders how in the hell westie got to 31
12:32 pm
Dorens
yeah, and I'm not allowed to ask her questions. ( I did however get to ask her if it's okay to be royally pissed off at him) we'll talk later I'm sure. She's moving back to Brooklyn next week
12:32 pm
Judi
I think I've convinced hubby to sign up with AMAC, Dorens.
12:33 pm
Dorens
what's AMAC? (asks the woefully ignorant doren)
12:33 pm
Judi
Better yet, we could win the lottery and tell all the blood-sucking retirement lobbyists to F-off.
12:34 pm
rururocks
AMerican Association of (old) Codgers
12:34 pm
Judi
Like AARP, only for conservatives. Google and read up.
12:35 pm
rururocks
wouldn't that be AMAGB?
12:35 pm
Dorens
oh gosh, if it's for conservatives it isn't for me. will read up someday soon, right now i need to go outside and clean the patio furniture (having friend for dinner) and then have to toodle on down to the lake and kayak. later, all
12:35 pm
MollyL
Don't say conservative in here Judi, you will get things thrown at you.
12:35 pm
Judi
Not quite, ruru. HA HA. I think it's Association of Mature American Conservatives.
12:36 pm
Judi
I know, Molls. That's okay. Since liberals have all of my money anyway, they can throw that at me.
12:36 pm
Dorens
no molly i don't think so. we are all allowed our own political beliefs, and I think we're all mature enough to be able to deal with each other's differneces
12:36 pm
A*n*i*t*a

That is a great honor, and one to tell the grandkids.
3:46 pm
Soodle
For sure. We hosted a Special Olympian from Botswana that year. My kids were young, and the whole experience was very positive. Host families were invited to the President of Ireland's home- Aras an Uachtaran- to meet the dignitaries. I also met Eunice Kennedy Shriver!
3:49 pm

Ah, you met good people, and so did your kids.

Jillyjill
Hello all...started this morning, but a nap called me away...here to babble for a moment between housecleaning.
4:36 pm
Nef
HI stidg! We are trying (but not succeeding) to dry out a bit here.
4:37 pm
stidgmere
Hi penquis. Hi nef and jilly. Coming back to grid after a late lunch.
4:37 pm
MollyL
*Sets the timer for Jill*
4:38 pm
Nef
I'm fighting off napping now myself, Jilly. Our grandson was here the past 3 days and we've had way too much rain. I'm pretty exhausted right now. But also thankful we didn't get water damaged at our house
4:38 pm
Jillyjill
Thanks Molly...I do get distractec in here..
4:38 pm
Soodle
Its a phantom-ridden grid for sure.
4:39 pm
Nef
Well I've started now; so ought to work on it for a bit anyway.
4:40 pm
Jillyjill
BTW nef, the nap did revive me...
4:42 pm
Nef
I have to work tomorrow, Jilly. A nap would keep me up too late tonight and I'll be dragging tomorrow. SO I'D RATHER NOT NAPAFTER 4PM EVEN IF IT'S ONLY FOR A FEW MINUTES.
4:42 pm
Jillyjill
...and grid using some weird babble words I haven't seen for a while.

4:50 pm

I use a balance ball as a chair at the computer. Sometimes I try to stand while typing too.
4:54 pm

My friend living about 2 miles east of us got her power back last evening about 8PM; but my friend living 2 miles west of us won't have her power back on tip Tues. or Wed. she was told. Luckily, our power only flickered a few times in Friday's storm but stayed on through the whole weekend!

<----- am repeating myself, I know, but every time I see your profile pic, Ru, I find myself doing a double take!
5:36 pm
Nef
Molly; I was just going to tell you the same thing you said. Some people are unhappy with things; either at a specific time or else all the time. I don't let it bother me normally.
5:36 pm
Nef
But then again; sometimes it hurts. :-(
5:36 pm

How about the almost died three times stories? Those are always good.
5:40 pm
RoundBarn
it's a pretty nasty reference anyway.. I'm off to eat with friends and watch Inspector Lewis. Thundering here. Tried to call my MLPs cousins to see how they were doing with the rain but no answer--
5:41 pm
Nef
I don't know who jesse is. I do know who's last icon he's using though. And I've told ruru that I'd chatted with NB for many years too.
5:42 pm
Nef
Round Barn, we've had over 5 inches total here in 3 different storms
5:42 pm
Nef
we've had no damage (to us) but too many people have power outages.
5:42 pm
MollyL
Nef, Jesse was the supposed real name of Nancy Boy. Nancy Boy was a fake person here. He never existed. He was made up by nasty people who posted here.
5:43 pm
RoundBarn
lots of talk on it in chat--we had ours last week--
5:45 pm
Nef
But was he always fake Molly? He turned pro back in 2007; that's an awful long time for a trick fake person
5:46 pm
Dorens
people tend to trust on this place... why would you think i'm not who i say I am?
5:46 pm
Nef
I'm so glad we had our trees cut down (due to disease or dead limbs) over the past few years.
5:46 pm
MollyL
Always fake. All the pictures are of a Japanese actor, Jun Matsumoto. And that is not the only fake person posting here.
5:47 pm
Nef
LOL, Dorens. Maybe I'm just that gullible I guess. I really tend to believe people here (but not necessarily on some other sites)
5:48 pm
penquis
well, everyone uses a nickname and an avatar...i don't feel fake, but penquis is not my name... ;o)
5:48 pm
Dorens
i think we all do, nef. There was just something about him that didn't ring true. For a kid his age to talk the way he did--- that made me suspicious
5:48 pm
Nef
But Molly, my icon isn't me; and I'd never think that cross or ruru or tor or others actually looked like who they are.
5:49 pm
penquis
it's the internet...public access....bound to pick up some weirdos at times....claiming to be someone they are not, trying to impress, etc....
5:49 pm
MollyL
That is not the point Nef. Anyone can use any icon they want. Anyone can tell any tall tales they want. Claim to be anyone they say they are.
5:50 pm
Dorens
yes pen, and it is also sickies... The person pretending to be Jessie seemed a lot like the person calling himself JC. And he was not a picture of mental health
5:51 pm
torgone
But I really am a puppet robot with a toy gumball machine for a head ..
5:51 pm
MollyL
Dorens nailed it...sickies...and...not the picture of mental health.
5:51 pm
Nef
Well, I never did believe JC. (Still can't figure out this Jessie though..
5:52 pm
penquis
i am a psychologist by trade (really)....i run across a lot of people i have doubts about...guess I tend to be a sKeptic anyway....
5:52 pm
Dorens
of course you are
5:52 pm
MollyL
Nef, how can you say that you chatted with Nancy Boy and never knew that his supposed real name was Jessie? I don't understand.
5:53 pm
Dorens
i wish i weren't as skeptical as I am, but I am
and Molly, maybe she has forgotten? I've sure forgotten more important things than that in the last few years
5:54 pm
Nef
Because back when he started here he never called himself anything but NB. It was only later that he said he was Jessie. I never wrapped my mind around that
5:57 pm
Nef
I joined here in 2005; in 2007 (when NB finally joined) I was recuperating from 2 foot surgeries and we chatted a lot back then.
5:58 pm
Nef
(I was pretty addicted to Babble at that time)
6:00 pm
MollyL
Nef, you don't seem to want to believe that the person who called himself Nancy Boy was fake. If that is what you need to do, so be it. But he wasn't real. He was the fabrication of a sick person's mind.
6:03 pm
rururocks
I have this bridge for sale you might want to take a look at Nef.. when you have time :D
6:03 pm
Nef
I guess I hate to think that I'm that bad a judge of character. :-(
6:04 pm
rururocks
you weren't the only one Nef.. I was fooled for a long time too
6:04 pm
rururocks
then things started to change
6:04 pm
MollyL
We all do Nef. I fell for Nancy Boy just like the rest of the group did. It's not on you, it's on the sick person who fabricated the fake poster.
6:05 pm
rururocks
I think about all the $$ Dr G is making off all these created personalities :D
6:06 pm
Nef
we've talked before about this ruru; I told you that I thought there was a change in his personality somewhere along the line. Do you ever wonder if he was real (initially) and then someone took over his person here?
6:07 pm
Nef
Well, I hope he's making $$ off them instead of someone stealing someone else's identity (and not paying to play!
6:07 pm
MollyL
Neither do I.
6:07 pm
rururocks
I think once JC was more or less banished from the kingdom.... he started lashing out as Nancy Boy
6:08 pm
MollyL
Every time Ru puts that icon up, he gets the reaction "take it down, I don't want to be reminded of that". Plenty of people here are embarrassed about how they were fooled by Nancy Boy.
6:09 pm
rururocks
I've become a HUGE Jun Masimoto fan of late :D
6:09 pm
Dorens
I'm not embarassed by having been fooled. I just don't really like remembering the evil that was perpetrated. And Nef, believing what someone puts in the chat log and being fooled does not make you a bad judge of character. You can't judge character in someone you've never met, can you?
6:10 pm
MollyL
It's as simple as this. I could log out of here right now, go find a picture of Angelina Jolie, pay 15 more bucks and log back in as Angelina Jolie.
6:11 pm
Dorens
exactly, and who would do that but an evil sick person?
6:12 pm
Dorens
hey ru is the fox benefit tonight?
6:12 pm
Nef
very true.. But it makes me sad that there are sick people doing that.
6:12 pm

6:12 pm
rururocks
*gets collagen for Molly's lips*
6:13 pm
MollyL
Yes Dorens, especially here where people are (for the most part) very nice and caring. The Nancy Boy hoax was an exploitation of that. Which is why I found it so disgusting.
6:13 pm
Dorens
what did you serve?
6:13 pm
rururocks
some really expensive wines :D
6:13 pm
Nef
"fox benefit?"
6:13 pm

6:14 pm
rururocks
LOL thank god I didn't call her Holly
6:14 pm
Dorens
yup molly, i found it disgusting as well. and that's why i don't like the reminder. I had tried to tell a few people back when he was "alive" that I thought he was JC and they found the idea repulsive, but seemed to be offended by my suggestion, rather than look at it and believe it. Nice people, intelligent people, being fooled. Not a happy remembrance
6:14 pm
Nef
Ahh! Great organization!

6:15 pm

I remember that Doren
6:15 pm

most of them thought so. I remember one who thought it possible.... back in 2010 in CA
6:15 pm
rururocks
It was the slap down of Ruby that woke me up
6:15 pm
MollyL
Yes, but if there is no reminder, then people just keep on believing in the unbelievable stuff.
6:16 pm
rururocks
we raised $400,000 I think last night Nef
6:16 pm
Dorens
don't think i saw the slap down of ruby, was that when he was still "alive"?
6:17 pm
Dorens
that is terrific ru.
6:17 pm
Nef
I know, ruru. Michael J Fox has really brought attention to a terribly debilitating disease. I'm so glad that they are learning so much about it

WOW, ruru! That's fantastic!!
6:18 pm
Dorens
it may have been hard work, but did you get to serve holly locklear?
6:18 pm
rururocks
I did.. she was actually very nice
6:18 pm
MollyL
There is a common theme in these fake people who post here. They get pissed off about animals who are not rescue dogs and they get pissed off about people who eat red meat. Among other things.
6:19 pm
rururocks
Emilio Estevez was there and another movie star.. Richard something
6:19 pm
Dorens
so it was all worth it. (even tho i still don't know who she is.. holly or heather - i don't remember knowing her)

hi sue, that is good to hear
6:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
i was just so surprised. have only seen him once since, and talked about the weather. he used to help out but that will be over soon.
6:43 pm
Nef
I *might* go IF 1) I wasn't married; 2) I had my own tent and sleeping bag; 3) he's a nice person (though maybe my judgement is questionable); 4) it's at a state park and not somewhere very isolated; 5) there are others going too; and 6) I had a can of pepper spray along.
6:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh, good, sue
6:43 pm
speedfreak
well TO guess he wants to not bother with the prelim and go right for it how often do you even talk to this guy
6:43 pm
Nef
Hi sue! Glad you had a great time!
6:44 pm

6:44 pm
72 Temple Owl
LOL nef. i thank you, i wondred if i had jumped to conclusions about this. he could not possibly be that disingenuous
6:46 pm

6:46 pm

6:49 pm
Nef
before I was married I had some guy friends and we'd camp and hie etc. even in the wilderness. I was always very straight up with them and I had my own tent and sleeping bag. I didn't have pepper spray though; (I guess I've always trusted people....
6:49 pm
72 Temple Owl
i got it from one of our aussie babblers. hardly see her here anymore
6:50 pm
72 Temple Owl
nef, there is no reason to accept this invitation no matter what the intent. none whatsoever.
6:50 pm
Nef
then don't. If you have no reason to accept it; why even consider it?
6:51 pm

I do a lot of stuff with guy friends. I don't have to ask what the rules are, because we all know already.

6:55 pm
Nef
Before we were married, a guy friend was getting out of the Air Force and travelling through Minneapolis on his way home. I invited him to stay a day or 2 with me to see the Twin Cities; and I was dating DH at the time. He was jealous (but he never told me tip later!) that some other guy was staying at my place; but he came over after L. got here and he took us to Dinky Town (on the U of MN campus); and then dropped L and me off and said Good Night and left. He knew that we wer just friends and there wouldn't be anything else once he met L. and saw us together.
6:55 pm
MollyL
You fix my door, I make you dinner to repay the kindness. Where does sex figure into that?
6:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
well sorry to bore you all, i think i will go get a short walk then dessert.
6:56 pm
MollyL
Just lost my water at "Dinky Town"

7:00 pm

LOL, Molly! Maybe that's what Prince's first words were for that song! :-D
7:00 pm
Lizlin
Happy to see you singing again, Molly :)
7:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
it is just a funny funny name, how on earth did it originate?
7:01 pm

That is not Prince. That is Lipps, Inc. A one hit wonder band.
7:01 pm
72 Temple Owl

7:02 pm
Nef
True, Molly. Steven Greenburg wrote Funky Town
7:02 pm
MollyL
Liz, I never stop singing. People can be as weird and creepy as they want to be. It doesn't bring me down.
7:03 pm
Lizlin
Yay Molly. Keep on singing! Wish everyone did!
7:05 pm
Nef
TO, Dinkytown has been called that since at least the 1940's and there are many possible reasons for it (I looked on Wikipedia). It's a great place that is different from any other neighborhood here
7:06 pm
Nef
(BTW, Molly, Funky Town waswritten here in MPLS; but didn't get played on the radio here for a long time because the radio stations thought it was "too black" for Minnesotans!
7:06 pm

By the way Nef, when "Play That Funky Music White Boy" came out, racial tension was so bad in Boston that the song played "Play that funky music...boy".

7:12 pm
72 Temple Owl
when china beach was on, dana delany was mine
7:12 pm
Nef
Molly, the other thing about the Twin Cities in 1980 (when Funky Town was a hit) was that I believe there were more inter-racial marriages here than any other mid-sized city in the US (I want to say "any" US city; but I can't find that in a quick search)
7:12 pm
MollyL
Dana Delaney has been in "Body Of Proof" lately.
7:13 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, we but we have rown apart over the years :)
7:14 pm
MollyL
Dana wore some wicked shoes in that show.
7:15 pm
Nef
I've ever seen China Beach and so many other show from that era. Working eves and nights (with young kids) I rarely saw any popular TV shows back then
7:16 pm
72 Temple Owl
okey dokey, break time. bbl
7:17 pm
Nef
I wonder how many of those shows would be on Netflix; and which ones would be even fun to watch these days?
7:18 pm
rururocks
wicked shoes like Stid's?
7:18 pm
penquis
i watched The Streets of San Francisco on tv this afternoon....
7:20 pm

Um, no. Not at all.
7:20 pm
penquis
Michael Douglas was cute....Karl Malden not so much....
7:22 pm
MollyL
Michael Douglas...I can't go there...not after what he just said about how he got throat cancer.
: O
7:22 pm
rururocks
how did he get throat cancer?
7:23 pm
penquis
i hear ya...
7:23 pm
rururocks
smoking?
7:23 pm
MollyL
He claimed it was from oral sex.
7:25 pm
72 Temple Owl
hpv, which causes cervical cancer as well
7:26 pm
Nef
I would imagine it would be a cause of it
7:27 pm
Nef
(or I should say: a "possible cause")
7:27 pm
Cathyar
Hi all...Molly, I think he later clarified his intended comments indicated that oral sex COULD cause it...it is not the ONLY cause.
7:27 pm
rururocks
<--now worried about cancer
7:28 pm
Cathyar
perhaps he should also have mentioned that drinking, smoking, frig, even breathing toxic air can also cause it.
7:28 pm
speedfreak
just watched Michael douglas and Matt Damon in the story about Liberace I do not know even acting how they could kiss and have sex scenes like they did
7:29 pm
MollyL
Hey, I didn't say he was right. I just mentioned what he said.
7:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
i don't know if there is evidence for this or just anecdotal evidence
7:30 pm
Cathyar
No, but he did not specify that oral sex was the cause of his throat cancer...he merely indicated that it is one of the causes.
7:30 pm
Nef
I was at a friend's houseparty last evening and one of the women there had tongue cancer and had part of the left side of her tongue removed about 6 months ago. Her mother sent her a box of pistachios; and she ended up with the same white spot on the right side of her tongue. Her oncologist thinks she has a type of cancer caused by an allergy to nuts! (She will be having this patch removed this next week).
7:31 pm

I kind of think that numerous things contribute to cancer...not just one particular thing. but we can alleviate the risk by living as healthily as possible.

Sounds good, TO. I'll have one; thank you very much! :-)

7:35 pm
Nef
You're right, Cathyar; there are many different things that cause cancer; but just remember that the overall percentages of cancers in the world population is decreasing (although you wouldn't know it by the media)
7:36 pm
uusue2
it was great, Cathy! There were just 10 of us there (plus the facilitators) and we had a most amazing time.
7:36 pm

Nothing better to help heal the soul and the body than quiet relaxation and positive healing...I watched a show last night about the power we really have over our bodies by convincing our brains to help us heal....it was mostly about mental health, but it also touched on how our thoughts can heal our bodies.

I hope it goes through.. it is long overdue

I understand Montana weather now jilly
8:32 pm
uusue2
the crystal bowls are played kind of like Tibetan singing bowls (or like the edges of wine glasses); they make a pleasant and rather musical sound
8:33 pm
MollyL
Crystal bowl music is not for everyone, but it's very soothing.
8:33 pm
Jillyjill
LOL ruru, yup....just wait 5 minutes and it'll change..
8:34 pm

I agree about magic crystals; these were more like musical instruments, and I enjoyed them as such
8:36 pm
rururocks
whatever is a de-stressor is a good thing
8:36 pm
MollyL
Healing from crystals is not "magic" it's about vibration. Again, it's not for everyone. Especially people who don't believe in it.
8:36 pm
rururocks
da 6 is a plural
8:36 pm
uusue2
plural of da5/14, penquis
8:37 pm
rururocks
If you lived next to Marin Molly ... you wouldn't say that
8:37 pm
penquis
ty... i thought i had asked if it was a combo word, but guess not....
8:37 pm
rururocks
some people say weemees vibrate ... but it's not for everyone either :D
8:39 pm
uusue2
well, these crystal bowls were in fact vibrating (that's how they make sound), and did so quite pleasantly. After playing the woman sang, and that was quite pleasant as well.
8:39 pm
uusue2
fireworks!
8:40 pm
MollyL
The second da5/14 and da6/24 are not a combo. That was my answer to your question Pen.

I've been outside putting some patio blocks in where our fire pit will go. I guess my hole I dug was a bit too deep; now I have to go buy some sand to fill it so the patio blocks are even with the ground level. :-(

my older sister always wore White Shoulders or Shalimar perfume; I loved Emeraulde but it smelled like rusty tin cans on me. I really never got in to perfumes because I couldn't wear anything to work (especially if it smelled like rusty tin cans!)
