stid, I'm glad you got your fabrics. Are any of them the ones you showed me?

12:22 am

stidmama

No, I am sure I didn't. And now that the clouds have cleared after the rain, the migraine is gone. Maybe that is why I am hungry. I didn't eat much yesterday.

1:52 am

flosey

lol rose, it does seem to make me feel older

1:52 am

flosey

even though, at the time, I was considered old to have a first - was 31

1:53 am

grannyrose

so you were an elderly primagravure. not sure if that is how it's spelled. means first timer.

1:54 am

flosey

but had them all in a hurry, 17 months between first 2 boys, then 2 1/2 yrs later, 15 months between the 2 girls

1:54 am

grannyrose

i was the opposite, had my first at the age 23

1:55 am

flosey

wasn't married until I was 29

1:55 am

grannyrose

good grief, flosey, regular glutton for punishment, weren't you? but then, which one would you hand back?

1:55 am

flosey

lol, none at all

1:56 am

flosey

they played so well together

1:56 am

grannyrose

same here for my mum. she had 5, the last 2 were twins. we laughed for 6 years.

1:56 am

puglet

did they have pampers then Flosey and Rose-lol

1:57 am

flosey

do you see William in my icon?

1:57 am

grannyrose

someone smack that woman!!! well i certainly didi.

1:57 am

flosey

no puglet - cloth diapers at that time - they did come in with liners which helped a lot with the washing

1:57 am

puglet

lol I did and I hope he didnt touch anything in the car-lol

1:58 am

puglet

giggles Rose

1:58 am

grannyrose

but like flosey, i CHOSE to use cloth nappies, and made my own pilchers from doctor's flannel. remember that stuff, flosey?

1:58 am

flosey

and in the winter, they came in like boards, had to hang them around the kitchen to thaw out

1:59 am

puglet

Ive changed a few cloth diapers---And at home we didnt own a dryer

1:59 am

grannyrose

that was likeme asking my mother if she wore a bustle when she was a little girl...poor woman, she nearly died from laughing at that one.

2:00 am

flosey

lol rose,

2:00 am

puglet

I never could understand that--wash clothes hang them out to dry-take em down-wet them ann wad them up to be ironed-lol

2:00 am

grannyrose

when then hubby and i went away i wasvery daring and bought disposable nappies and baby food in the tin or jar.

2:01 am

flosey

they didn't even have tghem in the 60s

2:01 am

flosey

them

2:02 am

grannyrose

yeah, flosey...wasn't until the 70's. even them i cooked all his food myself. i had a moulie, which ground the food into a pulp.

2:02 am

puglet

Ive seen alot of things come and go in this world of ours

2:03 am

flosey

and I've never seen a baby with diaper rash when wearing disposables

2:04 am

grannyrose

and before i bought the moulie, i pushed his food through the sieve, using the back of a tablespoon.

2:04 am

puglet

Oh I have Flosey

2:05 am

grannyrose

diaper/nappy ra4...which is why i made my own pilchers, instead of buying/using the plastic ones.

2:05 am

flosey

oh really? but, I've only seen 2 babies (grandsons)

2:05 am

puglet

Ive seen alot at the nursing home too

2:06 am

grannyrose

roflol, i bet you have, pugs

2:06 am

puglet

I think alot of it is due to no air to the bottom after time

2:07 am

grannyrose

which is why us elderly parents used to expose our babies rear ends to the sun as much as possible.

2:07 am

o-o

how old are the homes before they stop nursing?

2:07 am

flosey

must be off to bed, loved the chat, thanks ladies, goodnight now

hi, all. I am in somehwat of a state of shock. My husband has been trying to get the Veteran's Adminitration to admit that he is 100% disabled as a result of his military service for five to ten years. He just got the letter of certification from them yesterday, along with a sizeable amount of backpay.

3:56 am

ARB

what a wonderful surprise. Sometimes the bureaucracy even works.

3:56 am

Angelsong

he almost gave up at the last minute, but I did not allow that.

3:56 am

Dianne

Wow - that's great news. Good for you guys/

3:58 am

Angelsong

with this money and his increased income monthly, I will be retiring next February, and we will put enough money into our mortgqge to cut 8 years off the loan and save 25k in interest. Then we will start making two house payments per month to pay it off faster.

4:01 am

zoozzoom

I am very pleased for you, Angel..Being mortgage free is a wonderful feeling..such a weight off you....This money will help you get there soo much quicker.

thanks

7:46 am

Anniebrook

thanks Bea

7:46 am

Anniebrook

Bea, how is the little girl?

7:46 am

BzznBea

She is doing well. Growing like a bad weed. Thanks for asking.

7:47 am

hurshy

as opposed to a good weed?

7:47 am

Anniebrook

was just thinking the same

7:47 am

BzznBea

Something my grandma used to say.

7:47 am

bichon

Beautiful mornin' folks

7:47 am

Anniebrook

Is there a good weed?

7:48 am

hurshy

turns of phrase are on my mind as there is this makeshift memorial sign up on the corner for a former hockey coach which says "always remembered, never forgotten" which is annoying me.

7:48 am

MollyL

In the southern way of thinking, the bad weeds are the ones that grow the fastest.

7:49 am

hurshy

i mean, you don't have to write both. if always remembered, then, never forgotten is a given.

7:49 am

hurshy

or vice versa.

7:50 am

hurshy

i see so it's not that there are good weeds, it's that there are WORSE weeds.

7:50 am

MollyL

Yes, but growing like a worse weed just doesn't roll off the tongue the same way. : )

7:51 am

hurshy

well, i can accept this as a reasonable thing then. but always remembered, never forgotten, that's just wasting words.

7:52 am

mkg

hi all. any clue for the 9?

7:52 am

hurshy

i just started...

7:52 am

BzznBea

sh9/66

Hi Scrabbs, back from kayaking?

8:19 am

Scrabbler

I returned from the Adirondack Mtns on Sunday night. My head is still there. It is my favorite place to be. We kayaked in so many places, including Lake Placid.

8:19 am

Anniebrook

I loved Lake Placid

8:20 am

o-o

most properly.. beginning of word that often follows elementary or high

8:21 am

o-o

Lake Placid brings to mind the winter olympics and hockey

8:21 am

Anniebrook

got it, thanks

8:22 am

Scrabbler

The Olympic sites are used for training and visitors can go too. The ski jumps are like big monsters looking over the region.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

the sc5 word is Yiddish...Enable says of unknown origin

8:23 am

hurshy

i love that movie

8:23 am

Scrabbler

We kayaked on the AuSable River and the Chubb River in Lake Placid too. Beautiful rivers in wilderness settings just outside of the village.

8:24 am

o-o

was the water cold?

8:25 am

phaeton

Scrabs...there is an AuSable River in NY?

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Yes, high 60's. Not too cold to swim in though.

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Yes, phaeton, in the Adirondacks.

8:25 am

8:28 am

8:33 am

o-o

Who is responsible for regulating HVAC, hurshy?

8:35 am

hurshy

oh, facilities

8:36 am

hurshy

but there's not much they can do. see, the building is so old. and when they renovated it, they didn't quite get it right. and it would be super expensive to fix it right, you'd have to redo everything, tear up the walls, and whatnot. even then, i dunno, maybe really you just have to tear down the building and start from scratch.

8:37 am

are there any mis- prefix words?

nobody's autonomous... except, in a way i guess, tenured faculty!

8:44 am

8:44 am

o-o

you work on that, don't you?

8:46 am

Bad doesn't even come close, TO. Think of the worstest feeling you can possibly imagine. Then triple it. Then quadruple it. Then take it to the nth degree. Then do it all again and you might get close. :'(

72 Temple Owl

oh red. i am so sorry.

4:59 pm

redshoes

BUT I'm on the upside now, I believe. I hope. Seriously. I really, truly, honest-to-goodness-ly pray that there isn't something worse than that and that I never have to feel anything even close to that ever again.

5:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

Ignore me, btw, 'cos I'm not really here. I only came in to read my friend Hazel's profile post about growing up in Northern Ireland during 'The Troubles'. The name was coined in the late 1960s but Ireland has been 'troubled' since the 17th century. It was sad to read how people growing up there saw the conflict as 'normal' until people from the outside told them it was not. Here on the UK mainland, we weren't really shocked into realisation until the Birmingham pub bombings in 1974. That felt to us like I would think 9/11 felt to people in the USA. We had a settled community of Irish people and most were as shocked and horrified as we were. Time has moved on. Ireland has a fragile peace and we on the mainland have new threats from other settlers.
