My poor sunflowers all have their heads bowed-lal
12:34 am

Do you have them in a vase? I think they make such a beautiful arrangement.
12:34 am
puglet
no-planted along my fence
12:35 am
gapeach
I bet they are pretty there. Do you save the seeds for next year?
12:36 am
puglet
I got mints and bee balms and lemon balms planted with them--it really makes the sunflowers pop out
12:37 am
puglet
yes--I love flowers and trees
12:37 am
gapeach
I didn't know they would do that.....interesting.
12:39 am

I took a old door frame that a friend was throwing away and made me a herb garden in it and it turned out great

12:41 am

puglet

hi, all. My internet was down for a few hours, so here I am at a late hour, busitng with news (: good news (:
2:07 am
melonheadjujube
hi. Shall I tell?
2:08 am
melonheadjujube
I bought a Steinway (: (: (:
2:08 am
melonheadjujube
For anyone who plays piano, this is a huge deal.
2:08 am
puglet
that is so great! congrats!
2:09 am
puglet
You will enjoy that for years!
2:10 am
puglet
I played a little as I was in school. I have always wanted to go farther with it but didnt. I do love piano music
2:11 am
melonheadjujube
Thanks. Price was right and I had the funds. There's a piano store on a run-down section o f Euclid Av in East Cleveland, a down-on-its-luck suburb just east of University Circle, Cleveland's cultural hub. My son was running late, so I drove him to his appointment, and ambled past the Bill Kap piano company on my way home. The doors were open right there on the street, so I strolled in and started playing.

2:12 am

thats a great find Jube
2:13 am
Lizlin
Fantastic, Melon. Happy playing!
2:13 am
grannyrose
*goes green with envy* i miss my piano. had to sell it to pay out some bad debts my ex left me with. ah, well, one day...
2:13 am
grannyrose
hey ya liz
2:13 am
puglet
Is it a new one or used one
2:14 am
Lizlin
Love music but am totally unmusical
2:15 am
puglet
same with me Liz--but I sound good in my own head-lol
2:15 am
melonheadjujube
I looked at the price on the Steinway I sat down to—$59,000. Oh, well, I thought, a used Steinway is out of my reach. The owner came from the back room. long story short, we shmoozed as he showed me a $35K Model L then said those famous words that must go back to Mt Sinai—"I can give it to you wholesale." So, I got it for less than $20K, a deal for me and I'm sure he's not going to the poorhouse. The serial number is in the 410,000 range, so it's about 1975 vintage. Old Steinways are prized, and they don't lose value. I went to the bank and cut the check. Being delivered on Thursday.
2:16 am
grannyrose
i started physio today....boy, can that gal talk.....doing lots of seated exercises, to strengthen ankle.
2:16 am
Lizlin
Tiring for you too Rose
2:17 am
Lizlin
That's amazing melon.
2:17 am
melonheadjujube
granny, I whispered "Thanks, Mom and Dad" as I signed the check.
2:17 am
puglet
Iam so happy for you Jube!
2:17 am
grannyrose
*giggle* it only hurts when i laugh...not tiring really. but i certainly know i have been walking the walk, so to speak.
2:17 am
grannyrose
lovely, melon.
2:18 am
melonheadjujube
My landlord can stop worrying about me buying a house and moving—I decided a piano was a more worthy investment than a down payment, esp given the market here.
2:18 am
grannyrose
melon, hope you live at ground level.
2:19 am
melonheadjujube
I do, granny. Grands are not so hard to move, as they are only about 20" deep when the legs are removed. This piano is a dream come true.
2:20 am
puglet
Rose how is that going to help your ankle when you have to still put most of your weight on it until the leg heals?
2:20 am
puglet
did you insured it Jube
2:20 am
melonheadjujube
Oh, my granny, you are going through a lot!
2:21 am
grannyrose
pugs, i did say seated exercises. i'm working with a rubber band about 6inches wide, to give resistance.
2:21 am
melonheadjujube
Oh, yes, puglet, you bet.
2:22 am
puglet
that might be something our Sprite could do too
2:22 am
grannyrose
it's well-documented that if you can increase the blood supply to an affected area, healing is much faster. hence the exercising.
2:23 am
grannyrose
good point, pugs, i will email her and tell about the exercises.
2:23 am
puglet
how long do you have to do this Rose
2:23 am
grannyrose
until i can stand up and walk without pain. estimated about 3 weeks.
2:24 am
grannyrose
melon, did you play the piano in the orchestra?
2:24 am
puglet
well I wish you a speedy recovery Rose and I know you want it as well
2:25 am
grannyrose
thanx, hun.
2:25 am
melonheadjujube
No, I played double bass in the orchestra. Both my degrees are in double bass performance, but I had a strong piano minor in undergrad school, played harpsichord in grad school, and played the piano for the love of it over the years.
2:25 am
grannyrose
how's your sis behaving?
2:26 am
melonheadjujube
My sis?
2:26 am
grannyrose
*bows head in awe at melon's prowess* you are amazing, melon. what a wonderful gift to have.
2:26 am
puglet
It must be wonderful to be so tallented
2:26 am
grannyrose
*giggle* no, sorry, that was for pugs
2:27 am
grannyrose
yes, pugs.
2:27 am
puglet
doing as good as what goes with her problems Rose
2:28 am
grannyrose
okay. you ever need to sound off, you know how to reach me, right?
2:28 am
puglet
and how is those at your household
2:28 am
puglet
Yes I do and thank you
2:29 am
puglet
we had a mess yesterday--our well pump went out and what a mess! But got it fixed
2:29 am
melonheadjujube
Thanks. I had the right people in my life at the right time, most especially my parents. My dad wasn't crazy about my going into music at first, but he loved music and respected my choice. he was an engineer at NASA, and his highest compliment to me was "you would've made a great engineer." He loved his career so much he couldn't imagine anyone wanting to be anything else! Child of Italian immigrants, born in the US but did not hear English spoken until he entered kdg, a true self-made man. My mom was his foil, happy-go-lucky, my champion at every turn.
2:29 am
grannyrose
pretty good, thanxpugs. mother mac has ben out with hersocial group. don has been driving to appointments, and as a reward i took out to a local cafe for lunch. nothing flash, but good food.
2:30 am
melonheadjujube
This is funny. My dad was pretty tight with a buck, and once said he got a gnawing in his gut when he had to spend money. Boy did I ever not get that DNA!
2:31 am
grannyrose
melon, roflol....
2:32 am
melonheadjujube
My mom is smiling from beyond, and meanwhile there's an urn rotating wildly at the cemetery...
2:32 am
puglet
thats super Jube that you can be so lucky to have family memories like that
2:33 am
grannyrose
like my mother sending me to a ladies college, hoping i would become a little lady....wrong....never happened. i inherited my father's very down to earth sense of humour, much to her chagrin.
2:33 am
puglet
Rose thats nice to just get out like that and enjoy each other
2:33 am

phantom: abscotchalater
2:33 am
grannyrose
whoot, hello BR
2:33 am
melonheadjujube
I am blessed. I think, too, that I appreciate my folks more since they are gone. If anything, I feel more urgency to not screw up; I represent them now.
2:34 am
melonheadjujube
abscotchalater? That sounds like someone who steals your Dewar's when you're not looking!
2:35 am
o-o
one hiding from the police
2:35 am
grannyrose
awww, c'mon BR, that's gotta be a made up word. lol
2:35 am
melonheadjujube
I like my definition better (;
2:36 am
o-o
if there was any justice in the world, most politicians would be included
2:36 am
grannyrose
i was wondering if it was a new cocktail made from absinthe and scotch..
2:37 am
melonheadjujube
Who on earth would do that to Scotch?!!!
2:37 am
grannyrose
which reminds me...how do you know when a politician is lying?
2:38 am
melonheadjujube
his mouth is moving. or hers.
2:38 am
o-o
every time one speadks
2:38 am
o-o
of course my musings are impolitic
2:38 am
grannyrose
lolol, and we are on the brink of a major election here. every man and his dog has something to say.
2:39 am
grannyrose
BR, like your musings very much. they feed what is left of my grey matter...
2:39 am
melonheadjujube
Lots of "onesies" in this grid. I just looked at the clock. Back to bed for me. 'night all. It was lovely chatting.
2:40 am
grannyrose
sweet dreams of your new piano, melon.
2:41 am
puglet
Night Jube
2:42 am
puglet
Rose do you have your fireworks
2:43 am
grannyrose

2:43 am
Lizlin

2:43 am
grannyrose
thanx, liz, opening emails now
2:44 am
puglet
w2g then Rose--Iam down to 26
2:44 am
Lizlin
Made me smile!
2:44 am
puglet
How are you Liz
2:45 am
Lizlin
Great thanks puglet. Life's good here :)
2:45 am
grannyrose
ROFLOLOL...omg. that is so funny.
2:53 am
puglet
I need de4/5 to have all my four letter words and Iam just not seeing it--so a clue please
2:54 am
puglet
I mean 4/6
2:55 am
Lizlin
Sorry don't have it
2:55 am
puglet
duh got it
2:56 am
puglet
and a simple word at that
2:57 am
grannyrose
was it expensive, pugs, or did it leave you in a glen
2:58 am
grannyrose
which de4, hun?
2:58 am
grannyrose
ohhhh, de4/6, my brain is that...lol
2:58 am
puglet
it was a de4/6 and I found it Rose
2:59 am
puglet
yeah mine too-lol
2:59 am
puglet
now working on the 5 and 6 letter words
3:07 am
puglet
Hello Joso
3:07 am
grannyrose
g'day joso
3:08 am
joso
hey pug, how's the ankle doing gran?
3:09 am
grannyrose
joso, started physio today, learning that ther are new ways to torture someone..lol. hoping to be back at work, on SEATED duties only, in about 3 weeks.
3:11 am
joso
umm, congrats I suppose, hope it ends up being worth the torment
3:13 am
grannyrose
and you, joso? how are things in your neck of the woods?
3:14 am
joso
plodding along, did my swimming thing. been a while, forgot how much I liked swimming. feeling very virtuous.
3:16 am
puglet
Oh I forgot about you going to do that Joso--Glad you got to follow through on that!
3:17 am
grannyrose
how do you swim with your halo around your ankles?
3:17 am
joso
like an angle
3:18 am
grannyrose
*splutter* would that be an obtuse or an acute angle?
3:19 am
grannyrose
or just straight down? lolol
3:20 am
grannyrose
*pictures joso in his budgy smugglers doing a submarine imitation*
3:20 am
grannyrose
nah...mate, i'm yanking your lariat. good on you for following through on what you said you would do.
3:22 am
joso
mostly mucked about, couple of laps, then somersaults, underwater endurance, poorly executed dives, played like a 10 year old
3:23 am
puglet
could I please have a clue to the two I words and the en words(the I on the top row)
3:23 am
grannyrose
that is so nice, joso. and more importantly, it was YOU time.
3:23 am
puglet
sounds like you enjoyed yourself Joso
3:23 am
joso
held off poking the girls and yanking suits, didn't think i'd ge away with it at this age
3:24 am
grannyrose
pugs in5, in + that bill is *** to be paid, then past tense for in6
3:24 am
grannyrose
en5 and en6, as for in 5 and in 6
3:25 am
grannyrose
other is ed4/6, ed + action verb
3:25 am
puglet
thanks rose got the i's
3:26 am
puglet
got em thanks so mch
3:26 am
grannyrose
hey, joso, i don't think you can swim that fast yet...
3:29 am
joso
well considering what gets you a lecture at 10 gets you arrested at 56, perhaps it is best I held off. Hope I make some friends who want to play tag or something.
3:29 am
puglet
I dont know how to swim at all
3:30 am
puglet
dont you have a friend that would like to go with you?
3:30 am
joso
true, not fast, can make the distance, am comfy in water, but will be last.
3:30 am
joso
true, not fast, can make the distance, am comfy in water, but will be last.
3:30 am
puglet
can you swim Rose
3:31 am
grannyrose
joso, still have to be in water where i can touch the bottom with my toes. can swim, but have never overcome my fear.
3:31 am
joso
you are missing something pug. where did you grow up that you missed out on swimming?
3:32 am
grannyrose
it was one thing i insisted my kids learned. how to survive in the water...fortunately they all love swimming.
3:33 am
puglet
In a small town that had no pools and my folks didnt have the funds to take us to a pool
3:34 am
puglet
I like the water and enjoy alot of time walking in our creek/river but its not deep enough to swim in it
3:35 am
puglet
and I sure am not going to a public pool wearing a suit--I wouldnt give anyone a show of this
3:36 am
grannyrose
my dad was the best. he used to swim out into the ocean with me clinging around his neck, and tread water, staying with me, trying to allay my fears.
3:36 am
joso
too bad pug, once you get used to breathing it's like floating in space, null grav, except the water gives you something to push against, sortof
3:37 am
puglet
do you live near the ocean Rose
3:37 am
grannyrose
hey pugs, if i can get into a pool in fiji, in front of all the sweet, young twenty-somethings, you can too. the trick is to find an aquatic group in your own age bracket.
3:38 am
puglet
I would like to get into water exercise if I had a place here that offer it
3:38 am
grannyrose
pugs, about a 45 minute drive to the ocean/bay.
3:38 am
puglet
ooh how nice
3:38 am
joso
That was the hardest part for me, tad overweight at double body mass, got into the water as fast as i could.
3:39 am
puglet
I dont think people look at men as they do women or do they?
3:39 am
puglet
do you go there much Rose
3:40 am
joso
sorry you don't enjoy water gran. but we all have our quirks
3:40 am
puglet
Joso can you walk to your pool
3:41 am
grannyrose
not lately, pugs. unless mother mac is in a care facility. and then we generally head inland, as there is still so much neither of us have seen.
3:41 am
puglet
dont MM like the ocean
3:41 am
grannyrose
joso, love water, just must be able to feel the bottom with my toes, at the very least.
3:42 am
sprite
good morning all :)
3:42 am
grannyrose
pugs, getting her onto a beach would be a very neat trick...lol
3:42 am
joso
To a degree I think you are right pug, appearance of women always seemed more important than appearance of men, but at a certain mass I think we are all just fat.
3:42 am
puglet
what a great place to go to enjoy a picnic Rose
3:42 am
grannyrose
{{yay, it's the sprite}}
3:43 am
joso
hey sprite, g'morning to you
3:43 am
sprite
*hugs rose and pug and joso*
3:43 am
puglet
Our Dear Sprite! hugs
3:44 am
puglet
Ive always been on the heavy side from childhood.I did lose alot at one time but had to starve myself to do it
3:44 am
sprite
how are you beautiful people today?
3:45 am
sprite
glad to hear it, pug :)
3:45 am
puglet
and you? Things better?
3:46 am
joso
good, did my swimming thing, perked me up no end, how are you keeping sprite
3:46 am
sprite
another row with dear son yesterday. Not much sleep afterwards and yearning for a binge. Otherwise fine.
3:47 am
sprite
wow joso, how wonderful! Me and my love went to a couple of goodwill shops to buy a hometrainer bike. Didn't find one yet, but we will.
3:47 am
puglet
Sprite do you tend to turn to food for comfort?
3:47 am
grannyrose
sprite, am going to email you about my new physio. this is something you can do, dear.
3:47 am
sprite
pug: no, it is much more complicated than that, alas.
3:48 am
joso
is hubby home yet?
3:48 am
sprite
oh great, rose, am looking forward to reading your email.
3:48 am
sprite
not yet, joso. Another hour or two, I think.
3:48 am
grannyrose
as for son, can you possibly say to him, yes dear, and leave it? that is after you have expressed your views.
3:49 am
joso
I ment from hospital, but I guess that answers the question.
3:49 am
sprite
I could, rose... if I would accept that he will never help out or do his chores.
3:49 am
puglet
My sister that I care for has no controll on her intake of food. I have to watch her on this
3:50 am
grannyrose
my advice to a soon-to-be DIL many years ago, was to agree with her hubby, and let him find out he is wrong,
3:50 am
sprite
oh joso, yes, he has been home for a while already. Sorry, I thought you knew. He is working half days even!
3:50 am
sprite
you are a special person, pug, to ca4 so much for her.
3:51 am
grannyrose
well, sprite, how about a trade-off. you can have supper tonight, if you do such-and-such. if he doesn't do, then no supper
3:51 am
puglet
I dont feel special but I just dont want to put her in a nursing home
3:51 am
sprite
rose, our car broke down while hunting for a hometrainer yesterday. Rob had to walk home and collect his company car, then start our car on his battery. Then he had to drive around to charge the other battery.
3:52 am
sprite
so I came home busted, and had the utter nerve to ask son to go to the grocery and get a few things for dinner.
3:53 am
joso
that's pretty special pug
3:53 am
grannyrose
aha, so he wouldn't go....well my answer would be, there's no supper tonight because son wouldn't go to store to buy what i needed to make supper, as planned
3:54 am
puglet
Your day sounds about like mine Sprite. Our well pump went out so now I got to wait awhile to get my reader
3:54 am
sprite
he thought about it for a couple of minutes, then demanded to know why, and why Rob wouldn't do it. I explained, he grudgingly got up from bed, then started lecturing me that I should have asked him this much earlier. I said I didn't know, earlier... he said I should have phoned him on my cell phone... I said I didn't even have it on me... and he called me stupid. At that point I said whatever, I will go to the store, and how about we don't cook for you tonight.
3:54 am
puglet
thanks Joso
3:54 am
grannyrose
it may seem horrible, but he will soon learn that others suffer because he doesn't pull his weight.
3:54 am
sprite
aw pug, isn't that frustrating :(
3:55 am
joso
yea, go to store and buy a 1 serving meal, wait for him to ask for dinner, oops sorry
3:55 am
sprite
yeah we did. And he run away from home.
3:55 am
puglet
yes it was but we did get it fixed by nightfall
3:56 am
grannyrose
he must see that his actions do not just effect you, but the rest of his family as well.
3:56 am
sprite
he ran* away from home.
3:56 am
grannyrose
sprite, offer to pack his bag for him....
3:56 am
joso
for how long?
3:57 am
sprite
he didn't even take his laptop with him. Joso, he left last night and hasn't come back yet.
3:57 am
puglet
Poor Sprite--hugs-- I know you must be worried to death
3:58 am
grannyrose
sprite, relax hun. he knows which side his bread is buttered on. he is safe, i am sure. he wants you and everyone else to be making a fuss.
3:58 am
sprite
I am numb, pug. I don't feel worry. I don't feel much of anything right now.
3:59 am
sprite
yeah rose, that is what I think too. He is no doubt at one of his friend's or with his girlfriend. I am not gonna call them all this time. He'll come back when he will come back and we will take it from there.
3:59 am
joso
so he's sleeping at a friend's place, he'll be fine, come back expecting everyone to make a fuss, turn his room into a sewing room
3:59 am
grannyrose
sprite, he will come back, cap in hand, hun. i know, have been there. meanwhile here is a special hug for you. **xoxox**
4:00 am
sprite
so there... hence the sleepless night and the cravings. I am ok otherwise :) Thanks for listening.
4:00 am
sprite
lololllll joso, that is so brilliant
4:01 am
puglet
joso did you act out like this
4:01 am
grannyrose
*giggle* joso. and when he does come back just tell him very gently, there are house rules which you need to follow...and list them, plainly.
4:02 am
joso
not so much, ran away once that i remember
4:03 am
sprite
I was living on myself at 16. Never ran away, just got away as soon as I could. For my son it is at least the 5th time, silly sod.
4:03 am
grannyrose
now, dearest sprite. take a very deep breath, more like a deep sigh, and let all the tension flow away.
4:03 am
sprite
*zens in on rose*
4:05 am
joso
good instinct in not calling around. Will do him good to come back only to find his cloths packed up in the garage. rock his world. then talk about terms for him to come back.
4:05 am
grannyrose
relax all those knotted muscles...start from your scalp, face, neck, shoulders...keep working your way down...until you are just floppy all over. keep breathing deeply, and letting it all out like a sigh
4:06 am
sprite
I love your style, joso :)
4:06 am
grannyrose
i like to say, breath in the love, breath of the hate
4:06 am
joso
well he poked the dragon
4:06 am
puglet
make him a apartment in the garage and leave it to him to take care of it all that goes on being on his own
4:06 am
sprite
wow rose, very good. Thank you :)
4:06 am
sprite
he sure did :D
4:09 am
sprite
rose, and how about you? How did today go for you?
4:13 am
grannyrose
physio was painful, but am pleased with progress.
4:14 am
joso
of course you are going to take him back, but it sounds like his cage needs a good sharp rattle, after it's been well shaken then and he's calmed then tell him, dad is sick, you are ill, we love you but can't indulge manufactured problems now. will you help instead of making every thing worse. think of it as reasoning with a mule, first you hit him with a 2x4 then you reason.
4:14 am
sprite
am sorry it hurts so much, but very happy about the progress!
4:15 am
sprite
sounds good to me, joso. Will discuss it with my love when he comes home. We will make sure son knows we draw the line right here.
4:15 am
grannyrose
that's what i am going to email you about. the exercises, they are so simple. and i think you may benefit also. *shrug*
4:16 am
puglet
Those might be good for my sister as well Rose. But where can you get the band
4:16 am
sprite
lovely, rose, please do. You guys inspired me yesterday to go hunt for a hometrainer as well. All goodwill stores said they had them regularly, so we will keep on checking.
4:17 am
puglet
Now Joso I use to won and ride mules---I found them smart and loyal and never had to use a 2x4--lol
4:18 am
joso
great sprite, won't son be surprised to see new trainer in middle of his room.
4:18 am
sprite
oh! Great idea, joso!
4:20 am
grannyrose
pugs, any physiotherapist should have access to that width rubber band
4:22 am
joso
I'm only half serious, a few packed boxes would probably be enough to show you two are quite content to move on with your lives. Can't say I know mules pug, just going by the legend
4:23 am
puglet
Have you got sons Joso
4:24 am
puglet
okay Rose will check that out
4:24 am
sprite
yeah, I know what you mean, joso. Just to make very sure he realises he cannot manipulate us by running away.
4:25 am
puglet
I hate to say this but I was not the best teenager growing up. Iam sorry now for the heartache I caused my parents. But all in all Iam not so bad now-lal
4:26 am
joso
no, 2 younger brothers. Sprite is lucky, teen girls are so prayed upon, much different story, if a daughter runs away.
4:27 am
sprite
I have a daughter too, but she wouldn't run away. We have our fights, but just the normal stuff, and she is awesome. Helpful when needed and yet very good at setting her boundaries.
4:29 am
joso
my youngest brother was the real rebel of our family, managed to get me picked up by the police one.
4:30 am
puglet
oh no--so you now have a record?
4:31 am
joso
no, picked up but not arrested, ratted my brother out after a whole 2 minutes
4:32 am
puglet
has he changed for the better now
4:34 am
grannyrose
hey, pugs...a rebellious teenager generally grows up to a responsible adult...i.e. moi
4:35 am
grannyrose
and you, pugs
4:36 am
puglet
I think Iam
4:36 am
joso
moostly, grown up some. back then he had borrowed my car and taken it down to a wet football field. did donuts and skids all over the field. car covered in mud. Next day police pick me up. Dad got a lawyer and got suspended sentence. then made bro restore the field, hand shovel and roller, was his after school job for a month
4:37 am
puglet
thats funny but probally not to you!
4:38 am
grannyrose
oh, what a wonderful object lesson, joso
4:40 am
sprite
wow perfect (am back)
4:40 am
puglet
Rose as soap operay your life is I bet you got some doozy stories about your boys
4:40 am
puglet
so glad Sprite
4:41 am
joso
rattled my cage some, called to the principals office, think I'm going to get a lecture about cutting class, should have tweaked when the secretary said go right in (they always make you wait and sweat) then door closes on it's own, I turn and there is a cop.
4:41 am
sprite
*hugs pug*
4:41 am
sprite
argh joso, such a rotten experience.
4:42 am
puglet
Oh Joso I bet you were scared
4:42 am
grannyrose
you wouldn't believe, pugs, like son no. 1, who wrote my new car off, after 24 hours..
4:42 am
joso
should have been one of my bro's treasured memories. funny now but then
4:42 am
sprite
omg rose...
4:43 am
puglet
and what did you do Rose
4:43 am
sprite
yeah those things are only funny in retrospect
4:44 am
grannyrose
ah well, pugs and sprite...i claimed it on insurance, of course. bought another, not quite so new car...
4:45 am
sprite
what did you do with your son?
4:45 am
grannyrose
my kids didn't stand much of a chance. i had already survived 4 brothers...
4:46 am
grannyrose
sprite, i was more worried about his physical well-being...a car came a poor second
4:46 am
sprite
did he ask you if he could borrow your car or did he take it?
4:46 am
joso
was he ok, how did the accident happen?
4:47 am
puglet
was it his fault Rose
4:48 am
grannyrose
he asked...it was the day after he received his full driving license. he lost control on a gravel road...it had been raining....
4:49 am
sprite
oh, that changes matters. Yes, then all you can say is Thank God you are ok.
4:49 am
grannyrose
it was a combination of factors...
4:50 am
grannyrose
exactly what i said, sprite
4:50 am
puglet
gravel roads can be tricky--just glad he was okay
4:52 am
joso
yea, inexperience, bad road conditions, joy of new licence. not willfully bad, the accent teaches any needed lesson.
4:52 am
grannyrose
he ended up in a ditch, 4 foot deep. i was so glad he was unhurt...i thought i had trained him better. but apparently not. did not neglect that part of driver education with the next 2 sons.
4:53 am
sprite
accidents happen. Basic rule of life. As long as it is not willful bad behaviour, I wouldn't blame him either.
4:53 am
puglet
could you please clue me on the re-33 and zo20 and 28
4:53 am
grannyrose
corner was notorious, many drivers had lost control at the same point.
4:54 am
puglet

7:10 am
Anniebrook
never saw it, must get it from Netflix
7:10 am
Kaplan the Magne
This aggression will not stand!
7:11 am
boatierra
Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women man!
7:11 am
Kaplan the Magne
Not Nazis, DOnnie- Nihilists. They believe in nothing.
7:11 am
Kaplan the Magne
It is a movie that you watch more for the quotes.
7:12 am
boatierra
No, no Donnie, these men are nilhilsts. There's nothing to be afraid of. - My all time favorite cinematic line :)
7:12 am
Anniebrook
Who played Lebowski?
7:13 am
boatierra
Jeff Bridges played Jeffery 'The Du**' Lebowski.
7:13 am
Anniebrook
He's great
7:14 am
boatierra
Agreed.
7:15 am
boatierra
I'm calmer than you man, calmer than you.
7:16 am
boatierra
Keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city - that aint legal either.
7:17 am
boatierra
I wish a film would be made about Maude Lebowski. I'd love to know more about her character.
7:18 am
Anniebrook
Who played Maude?
7:18 am
boatierra
Juliette Moore
7:19 am
Anniebrook
She's good too. going to order the movie
7:19 am
boatierra
Good call. Hope you enjoy it :)
7:20 am
Anniebrook
I'm sure I will
7:20 am
Anniebrook
Next movie Im getting is Amour Amour
7:20 am
boatierra
Heard of it, have not seen it.
7:29 am
MollyL
Is that the one about the retired piano teachers?
7:30 am
Anniebrook
molly, if you mean Amour Amour I dont know. It was very highly recommended.
7:31 am
MollyL
There is a movie called Amour about retired piano teachers that got very good reviews.
7:31 am
Anniebrook
I believe Amour Amour is about caretaking
7:32 am
Anniebrook
that's the movie, Mollie. It got excellent reviews
7:32 am
MollyL
I think it was nominated for an Oscar too.
7:33 am
Anniebrook
Yes, it was in the foreign movie category.
7:34 am
MollyL
I just looked it up. It was nominated in the regular best picture category. Let us know how you like it Annie.
7:35 am
Anniebrook
I thought it was a foreign film.
7:35 am
Anniebrook
I will let you know. Im getting the film Thursday.
7:38 am
Kaplan the Magne
Julianne Moore.
7:39 am
Anniebrook
I know boat meant Juianne Moore. The name clicked with the picture as soon as I saw it.
7:40 am
Kaplan the Magne
John Goodman
7:40 am
Anniebrook
Not Jeff Bridges?
7:40 am
Kaplan the Magne
John Goodman was Walter.
7:41 am
Anniebrook
I dont know the characters in the movie but I will get it. Now I want to see it.
7:41 am
Kaplan the Magne
It was a sleeper Coen brothers movie that did not get great reviews, and somehow achieved cult status.
7:42 am
Kaplan the Magne
So expect it to be bad.
7:42 am
Kaplan the Magne
If you expect it to be fine cinema you will be disappointed.
7:42 am
Anniebrook
I will but I will have my popcorn so I can sit through a bad movie.
7:42 am
boatierra
Oh, Did I write Juliette? Sorry, I totally meant Julianne :)
7:43 am
Anniebrook
I give it a half hour, if by then I''m into it, off it goes.
7:43 am
rubyfoo
I saw Amour here in French and it was a beautiful, sad movie, hard to watch at times, but well worth it.
7:44 am

The first time I saw The Big Lebowski I could not stand it. The there was one joke that kept replaying in my mind and for that I watched it a 2nd time, and then loved it.
7:44 am
rubyfoo
but I love Jean-Louis Trintignant, even now that he's old like me
7:44 am
Anniebrook
ruby, hi. Everyone says Amour is hard to watch at times but a great movie
7:45 am
Kaplan the Magne
That's how it will go. Discussing Amour and Lebowski in the same conversation is bizarre.
7:45 am
boatierra
Off to watch some more 'Being Human' Later players :)
7:45 am
Kaplan the Magne
You will need more than a half hour, and more than popcorn.

7:45 am
Anniebrook
I will hve a box of tissues ready but I really dont cry easily at movies
7:46 am
Anniebrook

I finally saw the Exotic Marigold Hotel movie last night and will Watch it again tonight with my husband as he slept through it yesterday
7:47 am
rubyfoo
It's a lovely movie
7:47 am
Anniebrook
I enjoyed The Exotic Marigold Hotel
7:47 am
Kaplan the Magne
I didn't see that because because I thought it bput me too much into the women-of-a-certain age public television crowd.
7:47 am
Anniebrook
I saw Blue Jasmine Saturday. It was very good.
7:48 am
Kaplan the Magne
I liked Blue Jasmine but two weeks later all I remember is Cate Blanchette- nothing about the movie.
7:48 am
rubyfoo
but we probABLY ARE PART OF THAT DEMOGRAPHIC,kAPLAN (NOT mOLLY, OF COURSE, SHE'S JUST A KID)
7:48 am
Anniebrook
and I am as old as dirt
7:48 am
MollyL
Oh, I would love to hear a French speaker say "Trintignant"
7:48 am
rubyfoo
whoops, errant pinkie again
7:48 am
Kaplan the Magne
I know. I don't like being in my own demographic
7:49 am
Kaplan the Magne
Refuse to join aarp.
7:49 am

I don't have to be part of a demographic to enjoy a movie. : )
7:49 am
Kaplan the Magne
See "20 Feet from Stardom" if you want to see some great stuff.
7:50 am
Anniebrook
never heard of it. *writes the name down*
7:50 am
MollyL
I have no pride. AARP has some great discounts.
7:50 am
rubyfoo
Molly, I think you are your very own demographic, definitely an original thinker!
7:50 am
rubyfoo
(and funny, to boot)
7:50 am
Kaplan the Magne
It's about the backup singers like Darlene Love, and their lives and music as the voices behind the great
7:51 am
MollyL
Thanks Ruby, I take that as a compliment. However there are a lot of people who don't like original thinkers. Such is life.
7:51 am
Anniebrook
kaplan, a must see for me
7:51 am
MollyL
That movie sounds good Kap. I will have to look it up.
7:52 am
rubyfoo
There was a Fr program the other night about Motown and they playing Dancin' In The Streets, one of my all-time faves
7:52 am
Kaplan the Magne
I don't know if I have had an original thought since I was 7.
7:53 am
rubyfoo
Thinking in Fr results in new ideas occasionally
7:53 am
rubyfoo
I dream in both languages now but the other night I dreamed about uusue and frank, not remembering anything about the dream
7:54 am
rubyfoo
except the "stars"
7:55 am
Kaplan the Magne
I dreamed about people ending therapy.
7:55 am
rubyfoo
The only time I ever really remembered my dreams was when I had a Freudian psychiatrist who made me write them down
7:56 am
rubyfoo
I think people's dreams are basically silly compendia of things they've seen, read, etc, all jumbled up in our personal brain cauldrons
7:56 am
Kaplan the Magne
did he tell you what he thought they meant or did you tell him?
7:57 am
rubyfoo
I think that the fact of her asking me to do it, made the dreams more symbolic and meaningful in a Freudian way.....
7:57 am
rubyfoo
(and she looked like my mother)
7:59 am
JBV
good morning, Babblers - ruby - I dreamed about you!!!!!
7:59 am
72 Temple Owl
hello ruby
7:59 am
JBV
I was introducing you to my cousins in Piemonte......
7:59 am
Kaplan the Magne
you're kidding
7:59 am
72 Temple Owl
hey, jbv!
7:59 am
JBV
no, no kidding
8:00 am
JBV
I was speaking French and Italian
8:00 am
rubyfoo
{{jbv}} that is very funny and nice
8:01 am
JBV
and I have been fascinated by dreams ever since I was a child in Catholic school and was told that it was a sin to interpret dreams (has anyone else ever heard that) so of course I went straight to the library and took out Freud's book - on the interpretation of dreams
8:01 am
72 Temple Owl
how is everyone today? though i would greet you before i start the day
8:01 am
rubyfoo
they said that was a sin! How terrible
8:01 am
72 Temple Owl
no, i never heard that.
8:01 am
JBV
I was too young to understand most of it, of course
8:02 am
JBV
but I began keeping a dream diary at the tender age of about 11 or 12
8:02 am
JBV
you learn a lot about yourself - even without a psychiatrist
8:02 am
rubyfoo
I went into a website for my old neighborhood in Queens and it was filled with entries from the girls (now women) who told of being slapped by the nuns in the local school
8:02 am
72 Temple Owl
i am amazed by all of these revelations of rigid odd reliigous thinking, since i never experienced any of it
8:02 am
JBV
it happened, ruby - but not to me, of course : )
8:03 am
72 Temple Owl
and in a very church connected fanily, too. it just mystifies me
8:03 am
rubyfoo
<-- went to public schoolall the way through, i.e. until graduate school
8:04 am
72 Temple Owl
a very bad time to enter chat. time to go
8:04 am
JBV
all the stories you heard are true - I witnessed some harsh corporal punishment
8:04 am

I went to a Catholic graduate school and the summer session was filled with nuns. They were a lot of fun

I was probably the only non-Catholic in the MFA program, accepted because of my Irish last name
8:07 am
hurshy
how could it be a sin to interpret dreams when joseph did it and like, that was from God? i mean, you could do it sinfully, sure, but, it clearly can't be a sin in and of itself.
8:07 am
rubyfoo
(they missed the extra e)
8:07 am
MollyL
JBV, you and I are a lot alike. If I was told that about dream interpretation, that is just what I would have done. : )
8:07 am
rubyfoo
and it's not like we control or decide on the dreams
8:07 am
hurshy
people can be so illogical sometimes.
8:08 am
MollyL
I think the idea was it was a sin to interpret dreams unless you claimed it was God speaking through you.
8:08 am
rubyfoo
ya think? lol
8:08 am
MollyL
And faith is often not associated with logic.
8:08 am
hurshy
it would be EVEN WORSE to CLAIM it was God - if it wasn't. that would be the worst thing you could do of all. i mean, my goodness, he gets VERY mad at prophets who prophesy in his name who he didn't actually tell stuff to.
8:09 am
rubyfoo
Happily, God likes movies and rock and roll, both of which figure proinently in my dream life

8:13 am

hi hurshy - actually I think it has something to do with the Joseph story - not sure why he could do it and we couldn't though, I'm sure they came up with some reason
8:14 am

blame it on St. Thomas Aquinas - just found this: (anyone not interested, please just skip over....)
8:15 am
JBV
Is divination through dreams unlawful? — he replies: The whole question consists in determining the cause of dreams, and examining whether the same may be the cause of future events, or at least come to the actual knowledge of them. Dreams come sometimes from internal, and sometimes from external, causes. Two kinds of internal causes influence our dreams: one animal, inasmuch as such images remain in a sleeping man's fantasy as were dwelt upon by him while awake; the other found in the body: it is indeed a well-known fact that the actual disposition of the body causes a reaction on the fantasy. Now it is self-evidence that neither of these causes has any influence on individual future events. Our dreams may likewise be the effects of a twofold external cause. This is corporeal when exterior agencies, such as the atmospheric conditions or others, act on the imagination of the sleeper. Finally dreams may be caused by spiritual agents, such as God, directly, or indirectly through his angels, and the devil. It is easy to conclude thence what chances there are to know the future from dreams, and when divination will be lawful or unlawful (II-II:95:6).
8:16 am
Uneaixoise
congrats, mixi!
8:19 am
hurshy
easy to conclude what chances? ie no chance?
8:19 am
hurshy
or is there more?
8:20 am

I got tired of reading it - this is the source http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05154a\n.htm

JBV
too early for theology - sorry if I went off on a tangent
8:21 am
hurshy
hmm i took out that slash but it still isn't working
8:22 am
hurshy
anyway, i'm not catholic, so, i get to take into account what he says but still draw my own conclusions :) teehee
8:22 am
hurshy
ah thanks mixi
8:23 am
Judi
Good morning, all!
8:27 am
hurshy
he says exactly what i should expect him to say
8:27 am
hurshy
and i agree with him completely
8:28 am
MollyL
No apologies necessary JBV. I enjoy hearing people's thoughts on such tings.
8:28 am
puglet
morning Judi
8:28 am
JBV
I think the nuns were too categorical in their policy - i think the real objection is to the use of dreams to foretell the future - it's considered a sin of superstition
8:29 am
hurshy
no, that's not it
8:29 am
JBV
but the way I remember it - we werent' even supposed to talk about them
8:29 am
hurshy
you see, you can be superstitious and get carried away and use dreams to foretell the future when really they are just regular dreams that don't tell anything about the future, and that's just silly.
8:30 am
JBV
many silly things are considered sins, hurshy
8:30 am
hurshy
right so that would be a sin.
8:30 am
MollyL
Not much logic in superstition either.
8:31 am
Judi
*raises coffee cup* Here's to all us heathens and sinners.
8:31 am
JBV
Molly, I saw what you said earlier about wanting to do exactly what the nuns said not to -.... kindred spirits
8:31 am
MollyL
And here's to the mad ones.
8:31 am
hurshy
but there's also the possibility of dreams that really DO tell the future and those would have to come from either God or a demon. and if you get it from God then it is great and good. and if you get it from a demon, by making a deal with the devil, then that is sinful, even if it tells TRUE THINGS about the future.
8:32 am
JBV
and since 10-year-olds are incapable of such rational thinking, they just told us to forget the whole thing!
8:32 am
JBV
wondering now what kinds of dreams those nuns were having........
8:32 am
hurshy
i think 10 year olds are actually quite capable of rationality. more so perhaps than many adults.
8:33 am
JBV
or I should have said, since they believed we were incapable....
8:33 am
JBV
I agree with you hurshy
8:33 am
hurshy
kids tend to be able to easily think in simple categories, really. i think. so, i think the nuns did a disservice. but i do understand the temptation on the part of leaders to want to ward off the temptation to superstition in their flock. it's a hard balance.
8:35 am
hurshy
anyway, that's what the Summa Theologica said about it, in a nutshell.

5:56 pm
MollyL
Phan, that house is about to be yours. Think of all the things you can do, that you haven't done since before you became a Mom. And as for the kids, it's a whole new (and fun) relationship with them, once they are out on their own.

Loneliness is an aching void in the center of our beings, a deep longing to love and be loved, to be fully known and accepted by at least one other person. It is a hollow, haunting sound sweeping through our depths, chilling our bones and causing us to shiver.
