Hello to All here!---GrannyRose if you are still here, I want to tell you that the server here shut me off yesterday . I didnt mean to leave in the middle of our talking. ss

1:38 am

moonwoof

evening puglet

1:39 am

puglet

Hey Moom--how was your 4-th of July

1:39 am

moonwoof

was ok. mostly avoided people, really

1:40 am

moonwoof

And yours?

1:40 am

puglet

nice--spent it with friends at our campgrounds

1:41 am

moonwoof

nice that sounds way better than the local options we had!

1:41 am

puglet

It was until my great dane and boxer came in from an encounter with some skunk!

1:42 am

moonwoof

Oh nah... I bet they loved that too lol

1:44 am

puglet

they didnt seem too put off with --lol-----so today it looks like baths-lol

1:45 am

moonwoof

yup! but that was possibly a good idea anyway ^^

1:47 am

puglet

giving Beulah(the dane) a bath is not such an easy task! Time its over I got to clean the whole bathroom--lol

1:49 am

moonwoof

When we first started dating, my husband had a bernard. Happily it enjoyed the kiddie pool. Unhappily, it took both of us to wash the dog in it lol

1:49 am

joso

same story with my dog

1:49 am

moonwoof

I understand the big dog hazard ^^

1:56 am

puglet

I think Beulah goes out of her way to make herself as awful smelling as she can! If she can find something dead to roll in its rolling it the mud to now this encounter with the skunk. And Else(the boxer) is just a follower.

1:59 am

moonwoof

Actually, most dogs do that if/when they can. To "mask" thier scent.

2:00 am

moonwoof

I freaked out when i got my first dog and she did that, so I called the breeder. She says they all do that, generally

2:00 am

moonwoof

which made sense once i thought about it, tho it never would have occured to me, til she said it

2:02 am

puglet

they might enjoy the smell but I sure dont! So they had to spent their first night ever sleeping out on the deck(which they are none too happy to do)

2:02 am

moonwoof

lol nice

2:02 am

rbud

our little dog did it when she'd accidentally get loose - hunt up something seriously rank to roll in and come home soooo proud of herself. Dead things, rotten garbage... yuck. Usually right after I'd put on her flea drops for the month, sigh - I often wondered if the smell of the drops motivated her to try harder than usual to get past someone and out the door.

2:03 am

moonwoof

also possible. If theyre following a hunting instinct I could see that, along with the proud lol

2:05 am

rbud

got to have her own idea of perfume smeared all over her, not something we liked, haha!

2:05 am

puglet

I know Beulah and Else were so happy when they came in last night carrying that skunk smell.But our freinds nor I were so pleased with their scent--lol

2:06 am

puglet

and of course they came accross the river==which only brought out the smell that much worse

2:07 am

rbud

oh, yes, nothing smellier or friendlier than a WET stinky dog, lol! :P

2:08 am

moonwoof

that reason, right there, is about the only *great* thing about AZ, imo... Even if hot sun-baked dog is also pretty smelly

2:11 am

puglet

Is it cooling off any there yet Moon

2:12 am

moonwoof

a little bit. but not nearly enuf. Its at the clingy sort of humid point, now

2:13 am

puglet

I havent talked to my sister in Vegas for a few days to know if they are still in those awful temps

2:14 am

moonwoof

a little. But not enuf, really. Was only at 105 today

2:15 am

puglet

yeah thats still pretty warm yet

2:15 am

puglet

I couldnt take those temps! I hate the hot weather!

2:17 am

moonwoof

whoa. oops. Sorry about the net barf!

2:18 am

moonwoof

But yea. Still really warm. And with an added side of slightly humid, even tho it hasnt rained

2:20 am

puglet

Rain! We've had rain everyday for 2 weeks it seems and rain in in thr forecast for the upcoming week as well

2:20 am

moonwoof

I would really rather have that, even if it's annoying or a downer. I can put on a raincoat, but I cant get more naked lol

2:22 am

puglet

Yep I not really complaining about the rain. Two summers of hardly any we need it to replenshed

2:22 am

moonwoof

good! Then I hope you'll get a little brak from it, soon, but I still find myself jealous ^^

2:23 am

puglet

but we are having to dig up onions and potatoes due to them starting to rot due to all the wet

2:24 am

moonwoof

You would need to do that sometime anyway =)

2:24 am

moonwoof

This is just encouraging you to eat better today =D

2:25 am

puglet

lol--true- but they are not as mature as they should be--but at least they are eatible still

2:27 am

moonwoof

that's good. Im hoping to try and start something here, eventually, but I figure I should learn to cook better first xD

2:27 am

moonwoof

fireflies! yea!

2:28 am

moonwoof

and whats up with the recent trend in chic part words?

2:28 am

moonwoof

This is like the 4th night in a row!

6:42 am

crosshair

I could live in a library. But the rest of my family would object. I have thousands of books.

Haz1558

My 85 year-old uncle graduated yesterday from Queen's University with a BA in Theology. I'm very proud of him! http://tinyurl.com/plwg9ds

hurshy

cool, has!

8:38 am

hurshy

oh bother safari with its autocorrecter!

8:39 am

hurshy

if i meant has, i would have typed has!

8:39 am

Haz1558

But you typed haz, I know.

8:40 am

hurshy

yes. hi there, how are you? :)

8:40 am

Haz1558

I'm well, thank you.

8:40 am

hurshy

nice to see you again, it's been too long.

8:41 am

Haz1558

I've been mostly stealth babbling, it's a quiet occupation.

8:41 am

hurshy

i would imagine so.

8:42 am

Haz1558

Are you well?

8:43 am

hurshy

i've been having a bit of a rough patch the past couple of weeks in dealing with marty's finite lifespan, but am improving.

8:44 am

Haz1558

The thing is, however much you think you can prepare yourself for how you're going to feel when the end comes, you can't. You can only go with how you feel at the time.

8:44 am

hurshy

emotions can be so unpredictable, yes. the trouble is that the end hasn't come and i don't know when it will and i feel like i can't afford to fall apart a bunch of times BEFORE it does, you know?

8:45 am

hurshy

currently waiting on results from tuesday's endoscopic biopsy to know the severity of the IBD and whether any lymphoma involved and maybe they will give me a sort of prognosis then.

8:46 am

Haz1558

I know. But you've got so much emotion invested in Marty that it's inevitable that you're going to have a strong reaction to what's coming.

8:46 am

car.eeyore

8:46 am

hurshy

but, the kidney prognosis was wrong, so i know these things are not an exact science.

8:47 am

Haz1558

My only advice re treatment is that the vets might offer things but you are not obliged to take it up, especially if you feel that the down side outweighs any benefits.

8:48 am

hurshy

yes, it sounds like we're only talking about pills for treatment, haz, so, nothing too extreme. but even then if there is a chemo pill for lymphoma i know that's a judgment call in terms of kidneys vs cancer.

8:49 am

Haz1558

My feeling is that just because you can extend Marty's life, it doesn't mean that you should. What is that continued life going to be like?

8:49 am

hurshy

indeed. will only do things as long as his overall quality of life is good.

8:50 am

Haz1558

Good, you have his best interests at heart, I know.

8:50 am

hurshy

and so far, really, he's fine. a bit lethargic the last couple weeks and has diarrhea, but that's it. mostly he's still happy, purrs a lot with the cuddling and so forth.

8:51 am

Haz1558

If he's happy, that's grand, it's when he becomes tired of life that you'll need to take decisions.

8:51 am

hurshy

assuming i can TELL when that is. it's not like with people who can tell you that!

8:52 am

Haz1558

You'll know.

8:56 am

Haz1558

Well, I'm going to head off - dog to walk and plants to water. Good to talk to you, hurshy. Bye for now.

Minveryork

I do not have anybody yet! I tried to send red barn an e-mail, but it bounced back to me. If you see her can you ask her to send me an email so I get her correct address

2:34 pm

Minveryork

I wanted to do it at the end of this month, but since I have no responses, I think I might just scratch it for now. Unless I hear from redbarn and I can post exact dates for people.

2:34 pm

2:58 pm

TraderKate

welcome home crossy :)

2:58 pm

crosshair

lol,ty.did not know i left:)

2:59 pm

TraderKate

did you get all the rain/thinderstorms your way yesterday cfrossy?

3:01 pm

crosshair

just good old fashioned rain.was gentle and rained throughout the night

3:01 pm

crosshair

no boomers

3:04 pm

TraderKate

most of the rain keeps missing us... sems like it's headed straight for us, then veers north/ south of us... we could actuallly use some nice steady rain like that. supposed to get a bunch tomorrow

3:09 pm

crosshair

just checked.we have various types of rain right through till next thursday at least

3:11 pm

TraderKate

here too, a week of it.... but we shall see. supposed ot be very heavy sunday

3:11 pm

crosshair

luckily flooding is never an issue here since we are right georgian bay and everything drains into it

3:12 pm

joso

I had to run errands today, light rain whenever I was in the car, torrents as soon as I stopped and had to get out of the car. The worst was that I forgot shadow was in the yard when I left, one soggy doggy when I got back, ever glad to see me.

3:13 pm

TraderKate

on the lake here, but drainage is very poor because there is so much clay, the water tends to run off rather tahn into the ground. infrastructure is ancient ( but being upgraded slowly) so heavey rains flood eveyone's basements and yards

3:13 pm

crosshair

though in 1990 the water level was such that during ice break up the wind picked up and the ice rafted up on shore to such an extent that it took out several homes

3:14 pm

crosshair

mm.yes the clay does not let much seep through

3:14 pm

TraderKate

hi joso :)
sorry to hear about puppy, sorrier to hear you got soaked... isn't that always to way? whenever i have to go out - especially thurdays and saturdays) it always seems to rain...

3:16 pm

joso

he'll be ok, doesn't like water, but it doesn't hurt him, not his week though, a bath then rain.

3:17 pm

crosshair

take advantage of the situation and soap down fido outside

3:17 pm

TraderKate

that happened agian this winter crossy, somewhere in canada, cottage country.. east of bellevile maybe? it was all over the weather network, the ice was forced ashore and took out a bunch of houses!

3:18 pm

joso

I don't think I'll get him out the door again. lol

3:18 pm

crosshair

yes,if the wind blows wrong at ice out,it can be bad

3:18 pm

TraderKate

his fur will be very soft after being in the rain, and you may find he won't need a bath.

3:18 pm

joso

gave him a bath yesterday

3:18 pm

MollyL

Joso, is your dog a puppy? He looks bigger than that.

3:19 pm

TraderKate

4:20 pm

Soodle

Rule #1 of all Soodle-entertaining..... Get guests absolutely smashed! If the food is dodgy, the drink will be blamed. Not exactly Martha Stewart, but heck, I haven't been sued yet!

4:24 pm

MollyL

And "bonus room"

4:24 pm

rubyfoo

but I had bettr do the food in the morning, or nobody will eat once the margaritas start

4:24 pm

MollyL

That's okay Soodle. As we are going to be roommates in our elder years, we have no need for that stuff.

4:25 pm

rubyfoo

my studio is a great room (small g) because it has all my "stuff"

4:25 pm

penquis

4:25 pm

Soodle

It must be late now in France, Rubes?

4:29 pm

rubyfoo

4:29 pm

rubyfoo

it's the only thing I'm afraid of

4:30 pm

Soodle

Yack!

4:32 pm

Soodle

I always buy the pre-washed lettuce, then wash it again myself..... To be sure to be sure....

4:33 pm

Soodle

Rubes, any progress on the pesky IRS stuff?

4:33 pm

rubyfoo

I guess the vegetable arorganic, hence the wildlife

4:35 pm

MollyL

No lettuce growing in the potager?

4:37 pm

MollyL

We had the most amazingly fresh sugar snap peas for dinner. I think I could live on those.

4:38 pm

Jillyjill

<--------------------!!FW!!

4:39 pm

Jillyjill

I am having a difficult time growing sugar snaps...two years in a row...very dissappointed as I agree with you molly, I could live on them

4:39 pm

Soodle

Pom pom toss for the incredible Jilly!!! WTG!

4:43 pm

MollyL

Crap, I was just thinking of adding them to my garden next year. Ah well, I will do some research on that.

4:45 pm

Jillyjill

I used to do very well, so don't give up Molly

4:48 pm

MollyL

My nephew is a landscape architect. He says the pH balance of your soil is the key to everything.

4:52 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Jillyjill on your fireworks! Hooray for you!

4:52 pm

Jillyjill

TY minv and hello again

4:54 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jillyjill! I have been here off and on since you left b4

4:54 pm

MollyL

Min, I'm sorry you have not gotten a better response to your request for a get together in your area.

4:54 pm

Jillyjill

How was your 4th minv?

4:56 pm

Jillyjill

It is so much fun to meet up!!

4:56 pm

Minveryork

Thanks MollyL! Had a feeling Vermont would be too out of the way for people. It's way up north. Maybe I should try to do one in New York or Connecticut next time.

4:56 pm

Minveryork

My 4th of July was good even though I never got to Babble

4:57 pm

Jillyjill

I will be on the east coast in December, but not sure yet if we will just stay in the Norfolk VA area or tempt a trip to MA. Depends on whether our son in MA can come down to VA.

4:58 pm

MollyL

I hope you can figure something out so you can meet some people, Min. As for too far north, I don't know. Plenty of Babble players in Canada and from what I have read, people have driven hundreds of miles to attend Babble get togethers.

5:00 pm

MollyL

Norfolk to Massachusetts is a long drive.

5:00 pm

Jillyjill

Tell me about it....10 hours

5:01 pm

Minveryork

Looks like I will have to become one of those long distance drivers if I ever want to attend a babble meet-up. I guess if others can do it, I should be able to do it too.

5:01 pm

MollyL

Train travel is fun Min.

5:01 pm

Jillyjill

We could do one out here...LOL...

5:02 pm

Jillyjill

I thought about that for the winter as opposed to driving...

5:03 pm

Jillyjill

And I definitly want our son to take the train if he does come down

5:03 pm

Jillyjill

brb

5:05 pm

Soodle

<Would

5:06 pm

Soodle

<------- would take planes trains & automibiles to attend a Babble meet. :-(

5:08 pm

Jillyjill

We gotta plan one in Ireland!

5:09 pm

MollyL

Oh right. If Min can't get people to come to Vermont, how is Soodle going to get people to come to Ireland?

5:09 pm

Minveryork

Me to Soodle, if I had the money!

5:18 pm

bichon

ruby, are here?

5:19 pm

MollyL

I think it's way past Ruby's bed time.

5:20 pm

bichon

okay, will wait til another time

5:20 pm

MollyL

How was your trip, Bich?

5:21 pm

bichon

The drive was fine, no traffic except for an accident in VA. Much less hot than last year.

5:23 pm

Andree

5:25 pm

Jillyjill

Hello dear crossy.....

5:29 pm

Andree

not a friendly grid for me

5:29 pm

Jillyjill

but now I must head out to hunt down my pesto. Dinner tonight a gazillion left over salads and a fresh pizza with left over chicken.

5:33 pm

MollyL

Glad to hear you had a good trip, Bich.

5:34 pm

MollyL

*Wonders what is involved in a pesto hunt*

5:34 pm

Andree

start with picking basil

5:39 pm

MollyL

Usually when you plant basil, you get enough to make pesto for a hundred people.

5:40 pm

MollyL

And then, where does one find pine nut trees?
: )

5:50 pm

Andree

as basil does not grow in winter i use all my summer crop to freeze lots of pesto

6:00 pm

periwinkle

when I live in my apt I grew basil in pots and it did quite well

6:00 pm

periwinkle

lived

6:00 pm

periwinkle

I love home made pest

6:00 pm

periwinkle

pesto, even

6:03 pm

MollyL

As I'm not all that fond of basil, I'm not fond of pesto either.

6:04 pm

Andree

ihave to say basil is amongst my favourite herbs, love brushetta

6:05 pm

periwinkle

help with the en5 pls. I hope it is not a fish

6:05 pm

periwinkle

6:05 pm

Soodle

6:06 pm

Andree

6:07 pm

MollyL

After a bottle or two of wine, Soodle is revisiting oregano pizza days with Studly.

6:07 pm

Andree

6:07 pm

Soodle

Lol Peri! Welcome to my world!

6:08 pm

Andree

6:08 pm

Soodle

Memory Lane! A nice place!

6:08 pm

periwinkle

6:09 pm

MollyL

*Gets ready for Soodle to burst into a chorus of Memories from Cats*

6:11 pm

rururocks

and I'm Feline.. goood..

6:12 pm

Soodle

< More of a Barra Streisand fan.... 'Memories, Light the corners of my mind... Misty water coloured memories

6:13 pm

rururocks

*sets up Redford for a Soodle lapdance*

6:13 pm

Soodle

Barra

6:13 pm

MimiCat

OK, Soodle, have finished work for today and am drinking vodka, so going right with you to nostalgia!

6:13 pm

Soodle

Bring. It. On.

6:13 pm

MollyL

See? Barra. I told you two bottles of wine.

6:13 pm

MimiCat

Oh, yes, please, ruru...a Redford dance of ANY kind...even if he is really old now.

6:15 pm

MimiCat

But, then, I'm kinda old myself!

6:15 pm

m9f9l

hey all

6:15 pm

rururocks

he is old and short. he plays tennis at my same club

6:15 pm

MimiCat

BTW, pine nuts are harvested from pine cones...

6:15 pm

rururocks

he's a really nice guy though

6:16 pm

MimiCat

Oh, wow, ruru...I'd have another heart attack and just pass away. He has remarried, however...sigh.

6:16 pm

rururocks

yes. to a Canadian I think .. she's nice too

6:16 pm

MimiCat

Just another reason for me to move there close to you next year, ruru!

6:18 pm

Soodle

Butch cassidy & the sundance kid was showing on Irish TV last Sunday. I INSISTED my youngest sit down & watch the bicycle scene. She huffed & puffed â‚¬ declared it was boring! My offspring are philistines.

6:19 pm

MimiCat

Soodle, sometimes I'm actually grateful 2 of my 3 kids don't speak to me....isn't that just so sad?

6:19 pm

rururocks

*look out Northern California I guess * :D

6:20 pm

MollyL

Your female offspring have no clue about the nuances of appealing men. They have been taught it's all about butts and abs.

6:20 pm

MimiCat

If I can't move there, ruru, will definitely plan a trip to the area....hey, maybe a Babble meet-up in the Spring for us western folks? Gotta get Jilly to come!

6:21 pm

MimiCat

Agree totally, Molly. These days it's all so blatant. The younger people have lost the fine art of real seduction and flirting...definitely their loss.

6:22 pm

MollyL

I'm very grateful that all of my kids speak to me. They are wonderful people, the best in my life.

6:22 pm

MimiCat

Good for you, Molly....we are not all so fortunate.

6:23 pm

MimiCat

Now I'm getting depressed....CHANGE OF SUBJECT!

6:23 pm

Soodle

Oh Mimi, thats too bad! All 3 of mine speak to me---- far too graphically, in my opinion---- but I appreciate that they confide in me. Now, if only I could get them to appreciate the wonder that is/was Redford & Newman....

6:23 pm

rururocks

Kittens anyone?

6:24 pm

MimiCat

{{ruru}} kittens....

6:24 pm

MollyL

Yes, apparently it is puppies and kitties time.

6:25 pm

MimiCat

Remember I'm a bit tipsy already, but do any of you know people who just love to rub it in your face that their life is better than yours? Pompous and annoying, right?

6:25 pm

Soodle

Diddums....

6:25 pm

Shirlockc

kittens! puppies!

6:25 pm

MollyL

Hi Shirl.

6:26 pm

MimiCat

Yes, and hummingbirds and lions and tigers and bears, oh my...

6:52 pm

periwinkle

Mimi, how is your job coming along with the doctor from hell?

6:52 pm

lilliann

so, did all of my american friends have a lovely 4th of July?

6:52 pm

MimiCat

And hi, peri!

6:53 pm

MimiCat

Peri, she is a total nightmare....but I keep trying.

6:53 pm

lilliann

((mimi)) did we,or was that the other night? i don't even know what day it is without wine :)

6:53 pm

toadandtoadette

lol, they canceled fireworks on post (we living on an army post) last night because of "stormy weather"... well, they shouldn't have because it was so nice last night. They are suppose to have them tonight, but its storming tonight. haha.

6:54 pm

uusue2

we had a quiet, lazy day, lilli, which was nice (except for the fireworks, which the dog does not like)

6:54 pm

MimiCat

Did I miss our date, lil? Sorry if I did...my back went out yesterday and I was down for the count.

6:54 pm

lilliann

that's a shame toad

6:55 pm

MimiCat

Sue, my cats went nuts hearing the people setting off fireworks in our parking lot...they kept running into the bedroom closet.

6:56 pm

toadandtoadette

from the posts on facebook it still looks like it is going on. not sure we are gonna go, might just take the littlest one since the older one isn't really feeling good

6:56 pm

uusue2

my cats don't seem to mind much although one of them is always on edge anyway so it is hard to tell

6:56 pm

lilliann

i thought it was the other night, but my memory is crap mimi, so you could be right :)sorry about your back mimi and hope it gets better soon

6:57 pm

MimiCat

It's fine today, lil, thanks. I've had two surgeries on my back and still have issues periodically. But am better than several years ago, so not complaining.

6:57 pm

lilliann

my cat hates the sound of the hoover, a car, a bottle top being removed off fizzy water and strangers but she's fine with thunder!!. go figure

6:58 pm

MimiCat

Hey, lil, if I move my leg unexpectedly and my Dodger is near the table, he jumps and hits his head on the cocktail table....do not know why.

6:59 pm

lilliann

well, i suppose after 2 surgeries mimi, you'll still get pain from time to time, sadly, but i'm glad to hear that after both of them you have your life back(sorry for the pun)

6:59 pm

MimiCat

He and his sister have been with me since they were tiny babies and have never had any trauma...they're just really skittish.

7:00 pm

MimiCat

Yep, lil...no more painkillers...and glad for that as they became an issue for me. Now it's just aspirin and some vodka! Don't worry about becoming an alcoholic, though, since it puts me to sleep too fast!

7:01 pm

lilliann

some cats are just 'scaredy cats' like mine

7:02 pm

MimiCat

You know, lil, I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm glad I realize that. Never dwell on the negative as it's a sad and lonely place to be.

7:02 pm

lilliann

aye, sometimes 2 painkillers and a tot of vodka or a glass of wine are better than loads of pain killers:)

7:03 pm

MimiCat

I haven't had a narcotic painkiller for 7 years now...you don't even know what an accomplishment that is...so much better now without them.

7:04 pm

uusue2

good for you, mimi!

7:04 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, sue....I'm really proud of that.

7:04 pm

lilliann

exactly mimi.life is too short to dwell on the past and what might have been.live every day as if it is your last, that's what i think and live by anyway.enjoy what family you hav eand enjoy what is around you,friends, places to visit etc

7:05 pm

lilliann

brilliant mimi :D

7:06 pm

MimiCat

I'm working on my license to lead a support group in my area using cognitive behavioral therapy to overcome drug addiction....being of service in that way is so rewarding and people seem to respond to me in a very positive way...makes me feel like I'm turning my adversity into a triumph.

7:06 pm
