12:19 am

melonheadjujube

A famous Dizzy Dean word is in the grid; well, not quite a word. It is a unique past tense having to do with getting to base in a speedy close-t--the-ground move.

12:19 am

cosdem

12:28 am

TraderKate

you're lucky the flip is 3 hours earlier for you flo, 1 a.m. here is too late to be trying to focus and think... much more conducive to farming oor smesuch

12:29 am

flosey

yes, when I visit Ont. I seldom start it at night

12:29 am

TraderKate

12:30 am

rururocks

oor smesuch?

12:31 am

Erda

LOL ruru

12:31 am

TraderKate

unfortunately, i am often up until midnight... so it's not too much of a stretch to decide to wait for a "peek" at the new grid.. but hte peek turns into a flip, then it's nbt/nbs... and it snaowballs from there, because sjome clues start flying around the chog.... babble is an addiction...
"hello, my name is kate, and i am a babbler...."

12:32 am

TraderKate

erm... or somesuch....

12:32 am

rururocks

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

12:38 am

Bugsaw

I watched that too, Jilli. I have trouble imagining this serious young man with the old one.

12:38 am

TraderKate

12:39 am

TraderKate

hi bugs :)
endeavour wasn't on here today :(

12:40 am

Bugsaw

Jilli and I are on the west coast so we see if from Seattle

12:43 am

jillibus

bugs, I agree -- I keep trying to match them up. But the old one did look thoughtful too -- pondering things.

12:44 am

Bugsaw

He lived for work for sure, but he had a temper and a sense of humour. this young one is too flat. I hope he gets more lively as time goes by.

12:45 am

TraderKate

i'm sure last week i saw it an hours before you...

12:45 am

TraderKate

i'm sure last week i saw it an hours before you...

12:45 am

rururocks

12:45 am

jillibus

and he did cryptic crosswords...

12:45 am

Bugsaw

maybe you are seeing different episodes, Kate

12:45 am

TraderKate

the young morse actor will have to find his footing - agreed! but the series looks goodso far :)

12:46 am

jillibus

ruru Endeavour is the young Morse, if you ever watch that PBS MYSTERY SHOW.

12:46 am

Bugsaw

I am enjoying it Kate. I like a lot of the British mysteries

12:46 am

rururocks

no idea

12:46 am

TraderKate

i am just seeing the 3rd episode i think...?
inspector morse as a young man, new to the police force ruru...

12:47 am

Bugsaw

It may not be rude enough for ruru. . . . ;)

12:47 am

jillibus

*watched. And I don't know why the caps lock suddenly went on.

12:47 am

TraderKate

aaaaaack! i just checked tv guide... masterpiece theatre was on tonight and i missed it, not listed as endeavour :(
now i will have to catchit late at night....

12:48 am

jillibus

ruru, do you ever watch PBS?

12:48 am

Bugsaw

don't you have to sleep though Kate? just a thot

12:48 am

rururocks

I don't watch tv actually

12:48 am

flosey

tape it Kate, and see it at a normal hour

12:48 am

rururocks

except for a little football

12:48 am

rururocks

and the news sometimes

12:48 am

TraderKate

i do too bugs, but poirot is my favourite...david suchet is the consumate hercule, non? ;)

12:49 am

jillibus

well, you're missing some good stuff, ruru.

12:49 am

rururocks

mrs ru watches more tv than me

12:50 am

Bugsaw

This Miss Marple is okay but I liked Frynee Fisher, however that is spelled

12:50 am

TraderKate

sleep would be nice... speaking of... i really should pop off. see you all tomorrow :)

12:50 am

jillibus

mais oui, Kate -- but I was watching a program about Agatha Christie a while ago and she got fed up with him!

12:51 am

TraderKate

really? he was, how do you say, too fastidious, yes?

12:51 am

jillibus

I think Miss Marple about two actresses ago was the best -- forgotten her name now.

12:51 am

Bugsaw

I think ruru is kind of like Poirot because he travels and eats well. What do you think Jilli?

12:52 am

jillibus

yes, Kate, and too arrogant

12:52 am

saanichcat

was it Margaret Rutherford jilli?

12:52 am

Bugsaw

my favourite Miss Marple was one when I was a kid. She looked just like my Granny.

12:53 am

12:53 am

rururocks

12:53 am

TraderKate

3:58 am

grannyrose

* big grin* i was so sure i would never get to see him...

3:58 am

rubyfoo

we are on a reatively steep hillside, so no flooding problems except maybe on the lower level. But I'm not complaining. It actually hit 100F here on Saturday, the warmest it'ss been in the 15 yr we've been here

3:59 am

moonwoof

But tonight! And that's excellent. Very looking forward to pix, as I said. Of both baby and floodlands now ^^

4:02 am

grannyrose

7:47 am

Aloyisius

why do you need boots?

7:48 am

72 Temple Owl

western/cowgirl. a friend just found some in consignment. need leather soles

7:48 am

Aloyisius

ah so

7:49 am

72 Temple Owl

because that is what dancers wear.

7:50 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't wear boots well so it will be a challenge. and they cost too much to make a mistake.

7:51 am

Aloyisius

thinking of that.. if you will be dancing, the boots should feel comfortable.. don't think I could maintain my balance in boots with heels

7:51 am

Mom

If you can find some early enough, you can practice :-)

Hi Mimi - when I first started playing this game I was crazy to finish every day.....

8:56 am

MimiCat

I'm just interested in enjoying getting as many as I can on my own and sometimes using the clues provided in chat...too much work to get every word for me...I'm using this to relax.

only time we had anything other than solid doors was when we were on wood heat and had a special transom set up above each door

11:01 am

Judi

Are they solid core doors, mixi?

11:01 am

mixi6

house was built in the early 60's so probably.

11:41 am

bichon

My mother will be 90 in Feb., but she doesn't live with us.

11:41 am

rubyfoo

The question is whether it's Alzheimer's or just old age, what we used to call senility. I feel like a kid!!!

11:41 am

bichon

I think a psychiatrist could evaluate him.

11:41 am

MollyL

It's not like cancer Ruby, they don't define it as Stage 1, Stage 2, etc. I think it's safe to say your husband has an advanced case though. Ask your doctor, if you trust his opinion.

11:41 am

bichon

Senility and Alzheimers and dementia are the same thing

11:42 am

crosshair

i had a taste of this when my father had a prolonged case of confabulation due to a sudden thiamin dump

11:42 am

rubyfoo

Unfortunately, husband's doctor doesn't speak English and husband acts much better around outsiders

11:42 am

wvteach

Usually in the advanced stages the individual is unable to function at all - dress themselves, feed themselves

11:42 am

bichon

what is that crossy?

11:42 am

rubyfoo

I'd say he's medium

11:42 am

xeiluj

My m-i- l has it and there are stages they go through. But obviously the boundaries are not that clear. We visit her one day and the next she has no recolation what so ever. Very difficult for you

11:43 am

MollyL

Not so. Many advanced Alzheimer's patients can do some of those things. It has to do with the degree of memory loss.

11:43 am

crosshair

it is a sudden loss of thiamin usually brought on by decades of severe alcohol abuse.it gives a muddled mind and loss of memory for a prolonged time

11:43 am

rubyfoo

Righty now, it's becoming a legal question. Our lawyers were here yesterda and they asked what stage it was.

11:43 am

bichon

It's progressive. A year ago I was able to carry on a conversation with Mom and she new who my husban, children and grand children were. Now she only recognizes me and my father, to her, was cheating on her

11:44 am

crosshair

yes.legal papers should be in order now

11:44 am

MollyL

Alcoholic dementia, also referred to as wet brain.

11:44 am

bichon

You have to get an evaluation by a doctor who speaks the language he speaks

11:44 am

crosshair

they want to know if your hubby is still cognizant enought to understand and sign paperwork

11:45 am

rubyfoo

and I would like his daughter to come again for his birthday, but he doesn't want to see her bevcause her daughter (his granddaughter) is having a 3d bby and he doesn't approve

11:45 am

crosshair

what you should do,asap is get signing athority.if you do not have it already.perhaps guardianship

11:45 am

rubyfoo

Unfortunately, nobody speaks English and the laws are probably different

11:46 am

crosshair

well,i am assuming the basics are the same.if you cannot sign for him,you will have problems

11:46 am

Almost all of the money, p roperty, etc., is in my name, unchanged after we married

We have a revokable trust [Mom and I] an I have medical power of attorney.

After everything that happened with my parents, I made my son power of attorney now. That way, if anything happens to me, he does not have to jump through legal hoops.

11:49 am

we just finished with my wifes mothers "simple" will it was a simple will,all was in order and it still took 8 months and cost 4400 dollars at the end of it all

11:49 am

there are also different degrees of cognitive impairment with dementia (which is different than alzheimers)...sometimes the results of a neuropsychological evaluation are used along with family input to determine the severity of the impairment...

11:50 am

terrible diseases,both;((

it made a huge difference when my friend's husband's condition worsened...

11:54 am

don't think that way....my friend said the same thing...

11:54 am

penquis

my friend also told me that participation in a support group was very helpful to her...not sure if that is an option where you are....

11:55 am

Ruby, you do NOT have a cold heart. The man you fell in love with has not been around for a long time. The way you feel is understandable.

And it is very hard on you, having to deal with all of this by yourself.

11:56 am

crosshair

you cannot bleed for everything and everone.you are using natures way of defense

11:57 am

penquis

also hubby's doctor needs to know about his emotional state....my friend's husband benefited from medication for his emotional state...

11:58 am

crosshair

these women here are giving golden advice ruby,i will just give you a crossy bear hug while they share this with you

11:59 am

rubyfoo

Unfortuately his (macho) French doctor doesn't listen to me. He prescribed Xanax, but doesn't think there's anything really wrong

12:01 pm

penquis

ah....too bad....is he a family doctor?....perhaps asking for a referral to a neurologist?...

12:02 pm

rubyfoo

I don't think the testing would work as his French is poor and he can't hear much

12:03 pm

penquis

no, but the neurologist would know more about what, if any, medication would be helpful....a neurologist is an md....a neuropsychologist is a psychologist, not an md....

12:04 pm

rubyfoo

I will get on the phone tomorrow and try to find some help

12:06 pm

stevedallas

first mi5? and thanks

12:06 pm

penquis

are you near an embassy or consulate?....if so, someone there might be able to help you....

12:06 pm

stevedallas

never mind just found it

12:06 pm

rubyfoo

no, we are far from Paris, living in the country

12:07 pm

penquis

ah, ok....it was just a thought...

12:07 pm

rubyfoo

a very good one, but perhaps they could help me online or by phone

12:08 pm

crosshair

indeed,they could

12:08 pm

penquis

it's possible...worth a try...

12:08 pm

rubyfoo

I never think of turning to Americans abroad as there are none in our village

12:08 pm

penquis

where is your village?

12:09 pm

rubyfoo

we are 15 minutes SE of Annecy and one dhour straight sough of Geneva

12:09 pm

rubyfoo

but I can't get to Geneva

12:09 pm

penquis

so is that in the southeast?

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

yes, in the foothills of the Alps

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

It' s a popular European tourist destination, but not well known to Americans

12:11 pm

penquis

yes, pretty isolated as far as Americans are concerned...

12:13 pm

rubyfoo

I picked the place, so I shouldn't whine about it

12:14 pm

A*n*i*t*a

ok 1 left which is foxing me can anyone clue ji4/10 please

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

ji + belief

12:15 pm

MollyL

Ruby, I really wish you had a different doctor. Is there any way to find an American doctor there?

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

no. Even when we still used doctors in Geneva, they all spoke French. The only one who speaks English is our ophthalmologist and he's in Lausanne

12:17 pm

penquis

you could ask that question when you call the embassy....they might know where the nearest american doctor might be....

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

I'll try but this is a pretty remote region

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

hen husband has been hospitalized here, several times already for differet things, there was nobody with who he could communicate, I had to do all the interpreting (and I'm no expert!)

12:19 pm

ruby...if you do decide to call the embassy, make sure you have written down your questions ahead of time...

12:22 pm

penquis

it's hard not to lay it out when cluing a four letter word, lol....

12:22 pm

crosshair

yes,make a list! most important!

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

good idea, penquis, that's what I do when I have to make calls to Fr companies

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

I make lists with key Fr words

12:23 pm

crosshair

we always make a list now when we go to DR appts

12:23 pm

1:02 pm

hurshy

one thing that is funny about my cats

1:03 pm

hurshy

i take them with me whenever i can, if i go away. like to my parents' house this past week. so, they meow when i put them in the crates and into the car. and cinder meows when we start off, then sort of eases off when we get on the highway. but, she doesn't do this on the way home. they are all calmer on the way home. like they have the logic to know, we were just NOT home, so we are likely GOING home, so we will not complain now.

1:05 pm

Why I will never retain a word like ep6...either of a pair of isomeric aldose compounds, especially of certain sugars, that differ from each other in the positions of the H and OH at the second atom from the end of the carbon chain, as d-glucose and d-mannose.

1:45 pm

MollyL

My brain has no retention ability for words that mean such things. : O

hi all, howyadoon

and still, puter is not a word

2:04 pm

George Takei is in the grid!

well really, why would puter be a word

2:05 pm

hurshy

indeed he is bugsaw

2:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

puter is what we use to get onto the interwebs . . . 8-)

2:06 pm

Bugsaw

I wud rather puter than some of the words it does take

2:07 pm

hurshy

my young niece found that confusing enough to distinguish computer from pewter (i would frequently help her with categories of things by telling her my necklace represented a cat and was made of pewter)

2:08 pm

MollyL

I'm not real fond of puter or other shortened words.

what is flurk?

2:19 pm

MollyL

I always associate that word with sl4s, or women of ill re6

2:23 pm

torgone

I was going to clue along those lines, but thought it cause some heartburn ..

2:23 pm

hurshy

but what is flurk?

2:23 pm

torgone

See Molly's profile

2:24 pm

hurshy

oh

2:24 pm

hurshy

but

2:24 pm

hurshy

whoever said lurking didn't involve reading the chat?

2:24 pm

hurshy

it only doesn't involve chatting

2:25 pm

hurshy

so i guess if you say flurk then by definition you are a flurk yes

2:25 pm

jmcnrick

*comes out of lurking*

2:25 pm

Bugsaw

hi jmc. good to see you again

2:26 pm

jmcnrick

lurk (lÃ»rk)
intr.v. lurked, lurkÂ·ing, lurks
1. To lie in wait, as in ambush.
2. To move furtively; sneak.
3. To exist unobserved or unsuspected: danger lurking around every bend.
4. To read but not contribute to the discussion in a newsgroup, chatroom, or other online forum.

2:26 pm

jmcnrick

hey bugs

2:26 pm

jmcnrick

i have been lurking. :-)

2:27 pm

jmcnrick

i have been so blue didn't want to talk to anyone. . . .

2:27 pm

Bugsaw

I flurk a lot too

2:27 pm

jmcnrick

I refuse to invent a new word when there is a perfectly good word already available. . .

2:27 pm

MimiCat

jmc, dear, why so blue? We can talk here or you can em me...I'm here for you.

2:28 pm

jmcnrick

thanks. . . i knew that would be the reaction if i mentioned it here. . .

2:29 pm

jmcnrick

just frustrated that i haven't found a paying job. . . and my organization doesn't seem to be able to be launched the way i had hoped. . .

2:29 pm

MimiCat

Of course. There is nothing I can't relate to...and I mean nothing. Feel free to talk to me. And I agree about the flurk word...just stupid.

2:30 pm

jmcnrick

if anything to me a flurk is a person who lurks just to drop in a couple of sentences from time to time. . . but i think people should lurk or not as they wish. . .

2:30 pm

torgone

Thanks

2:31 pm

MimiCat

I just came off 2 years of not being able to find work. But I had limitations you don't have. I've found that remaining in a state of gratitude for what I do have rather than becoming bitter and depressed about what I don't have helps tremendously...but it takes work and practice.

2:31 pm

jmcnrick

of course i usually argue for people chatting as it makes the chog more interesting. . .

2:31 pm

Bugsaw

I thought it was very brave of you to step down from your last position but you did it for the good of the group. Something will appear when the time is right. Someone called you a prophet the other day. They meant in the way that you have a vision and will do whatever is required to make it real to others. Take heart.

2:32 pm

jmcnrick

what? who called me that? haha reminds me of the bible verse: a prophet has no honor in his own house! haha

2:32 pm

MimiCat

Fabulous feedback, Bugs.

2:32 pm

Bugsaw

see? I thought you might relate to that while accepting how many admirers you have. ;)

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

oh mimi i putter on. . . not bitter, just hard to do things when i feel i should be doing something more productive. . . there are only so many of the hours of the day that i am willing to weed. . .

2:33 pm

MimiCat

jmc, I'm going to send you an em with some funny "ponderisms." Hope it lifts your spirits. And, yes, MANY of us so admire you. You won't stay down long...trust me on that.

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

never you mi** my silly response! it was lovely for you and whoever said it to say. . .

2:34 pm

jmcnrick

i have had problems with depression since i was a child and i have found that usually if i let it have its way for a day or two it will go away. . . this batch just took longer than i would have liked.

2:37 pm

Bugsaw

me too. I finally went to a hypnotherapist who helped more than any medication did

2:37 pm

jmcnrick

stats for the middle column R please

2:37 pm

jmcnrick

i am glad that worked for you bugs

2:38 pm

MimiCat

I tend to do that as well. Sometimes I'll just let myself really get into it for a couple of days and then just decide I'm tired of it now...usually with the aid of vodka.

2:38 pm

jmcnrick

haha jack for me please!

2:38 pm

Bugsaw

re 6,24

2:39 pm

but rumors (started by me) to the contrary i general allow my self only one night of wallowing with jack. . . otherwise it becomes cyclical

2:39 pm

jmcnrick

ty bugs

2:39 pm

MollyL

Good for you Bugs. Many people discount the healing that can come from alternative medicine. Which is really not "alternative" at all, it is healing the way it used to be, before pharmaceuticals.

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

i just finished watching a film about the beginning of the use of chemicals to heal. . . brought about the wholesale reduction in syphilis. . . .That was the first purely chemical lab cure . . .

2:42 pm

Bugsaw

I have been actively working at changing my mindset even to where I do not acknowledge depression, but rather that I am feeling stronger and healthier every day.

2:42 pm

MimiCat

Gonna scoot for now. Will be sending you an em later, jmc. Hang in there, girlfriend. And, yes, remember when every STD could be cured with penicillin? Ah, the good old days! Hugs all around.

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

bye mimi. . . .

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

that works for me most of the time. . .along with meditation at meeting for worship (scientific evidence shows that the brain chemicals are affected by meditation. . . but some times it requires more. . . .

2:43 pm

MollyL

Oh and Tor...I don't think your word is stupid.
: D

2:44 pm

Bugsaw

I must poof too but I used meditation daily as well. You are correct about its power

2:44 pm

Bugsaw

sending hugs to jmc.......... poof

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

bye bugs. . . thanks for the words of encouragement. . .

2:45 pm

MollyL

Meditation (which involves deep breathing/oxgenizing your body) is also very healing.

2:46 pm

MollyL

Oxygenizing is not a word...I made it up...stupid me.

2:47 pm

jmcnrick

Do you want to pick a fight molls? I said I did care to make up a work when there was a perfectly good word already such as lurk. . . I called no one or nothing stupid. . .

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

oxÂ·yÂ·genÂ·izÂ·ing

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

is a word btw

2:49 pm

MollyL

No, "you" did not call it stupid.

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

well then mellow out. . . people can have a difference of opinion about whether some words are stupid or not. . . lord knows there are plenty of stupid words in the grid some days. . .

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

stats for the first column E please. . .

2:52 pm

Okay, referring to people as stupid is cool here, I get it now. Mellowed out.

3:18 pm

periwinkle

Now if I can only find a way to get paid for napping :)

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

haha! there are sleep experiments. . .don't pay much though. . .

3:18 pm

periwinkle

I recently participated in a research study: Sensory Dysfunction in Early Parkinsons. where I was a control patient.

3:19 pm

periwinkle

some do. jmc. I tried to get into one several years ago but was told my melatonin levels were normal and they did not accept me. I would have had to stay at least one night in the hospital which was not that appealing anyway.

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

nice. . . my boy has been volunteering for paid reseach guinea pig work but only for NHS since they were so helpful to us years ago. . .

3:20 pm

periwinkle

Focus groups pay pretty well too but I have never seen one to do with napping.

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

no staying overnight in a hospital is not restful. . . defeats the purpose really

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

i am too smart mouthed for focus groups. . .they never want me again. . . haha

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

i suspect my boy would have the same problem but i will let him know. . .

3:21 pm

periwinkle

but they usually pay between $50 and $100 an hour which is really good

3:21 pm

jmcnrick

wow that is almost what i was paid when i first became a lawyer!

3:21 pm

periwinkle

some focus groups are actually groups and some are just you and the person asking questions.

3:22 pm

jmcnrick

*wonders if smart mouth is curable*

3:22 pm

periwinkle

I do not get called for focus groups too often :(

3:22 pm

jmcnrick

i used to get products to try. . . but no more for some reason. . .

3:22 pm

periwinkle

I think so, jmc, it is called "biting your tongue"

3:23 pm

periwinkle

I applied for that type of thing too, jmc but have not heard anything.

3:23 pm

jmcnrick

how do you find them peri. . .

3:23 pm

jmcnrick

haha. . . well if it is a matter of controlling myself i am hopeless. . . i only do that in a courtroom or client situation. . . .

3:24 pm

periwinkle

what? Focus Groups? just type in Focus groups and look for them in your area. I am pretty sure they have some in the Wash, D.C. area

3:24 pm

I am going to read for a while. bbl. nice talking with you jmc.

very good movie!

6:59 pm

cosdem

was weird for me to see the queen mother portrayed as a loving person when she is shwon to be cold and blunt in all other portrayals

7:00 pm

stidgmere

Just talked to our Scrabble friend. How about calling me so we can see if next Monday would work.

7:00 pm

crosshair

7:01 pm

TraderKate

do you mean alexandra or elizabeth cos?

7:01 pm

crosshair

not here it is not.we get a homoginized version of netflix

7:01 pm

cosdem

I watched a 5 hour documentary of QEII and they said the Queen Mother was beloved during her husband's reign.

7:01 pm

cosdem

the current queen's mother, kate.

7:01 pm

crosshair

as far as i know,the queen mother was adored by all

7:02 pm

Uneaixoise

crossy, do you have Redbox? they have it for a little over a dollar

7:02 pm

TraderKate

that is elizabeth too...and she was beloved, tis true :)

7:02 pm

cosdem

in all movies about the Queen, her mother is usually seen as a bitch.. but not so in the king's speech so that was unusual for me to see is all

7:02 pm

crosshair

yes,we just got redbox in last month or 2

7:02 pm

Uneaixoise

cool!

7:03 pm

cosdem

I love redbox. I dont know if this will work in Canada but if you join red box club (free!) you get a free rental code texted to you every monday

7:03 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone, stats for the bottom row R middle column?

7:03 pm

Uneaixoise

yep -- i get lots of redbox freebies and discounts via email

7:03 pm

cosdem

re6.. part of re4/6 but the re4 is from another R

7:04 pm

TraderKate

probably because it is looking at history.. like the abdication, or the prospective marriage of margaret... she was a stickler, for sure! don't even mention wallis...

7:04 pm

cosdem

The documentary I watched spoke of Margaret and her scandal and they said that was part of why the queen was so resistant to meet CPB.. til her sister and mother died then it was easier.

7:05 pm

crosshair

i love the speech the queen mum gave during the blitz during ww2 in london.her husband would not leave,so she would not.she inspired so many that Adolf Hitler called her the most dangerous woman on the planet

7:05 pm

cosdem

it was a good documentary.. it was produced in britian.. had 5 actresses playing the queen and in between real people would sit and tell their version of the stories

7:06 pm

cosdem

very pro-monarch documentary.

7:06 pm

Hi there, Kate. How are you?

8:39 pm

TraderKate

i'm well peach, scarfing down my dinner now. how are you doing?

8:39 pm

gapeach

Thanks, pen, have it now.

8:40 pm

gapeach

Not too badly, today, Kate. I'm scarfing down my dinner too. LOL

8:41 pm

TraderKate

binging and babbling, not a good combination.. especially so late at night. i don't think i've had dinner before 9 for at least a week...

8:42 pm

TraderKate

didi the temperature drop down your way, it is seasonably cool here now.. quite a relief after what we had...

8:44 pm

gapeach

It did, Kate. We've had two almost rain free days but more is expected Wednesday. We haven't reached 100 degrees this summer, so far. Probably will later on though.

8:44 pm

I've had dinner and back for 15 minutes more.

Hey there, stidgmere.

8:45 pm

MollyL

Hi Gran Mere

8:45 pm

TraderKate

hi stidgie :) welcome back!

8:47 pm

gapeach

Yes, I do. We usually have really hot and humid summers....so we have to rush from one air conditioned place to another. I have COPD bronchitis and it really difficult to breathe outside.

8:47 pm

gapeach

The mild winters sort of make up for the summers.

8:49 pm

TraderKate

so, you "hibernate" in the summer, rather than the winter...i am glad you seem to be coping with it okay. i remembered you had some breathing problems. would love to have your winters or s. carolina's.. i could deal with that ;)

8:52 pm

dan2bit

mu6, anybody?

8:52 pm

gapeach

Living in the south does have advantages (and disadvantages also). I just can't cope with the cold weather anymore.
