1:02 am
flosey
it wasn't really farmed in his time there but that was his dream
1:02 am

puglet
Flosey hows the cold?
1:18 am
flosey
still with me but hopefully not for long
1:19 am
puglet
I read where you moved to the family farm, do you guys farm it---Has it broke(the cold)
1:21 am
flosey
hubby does - I just preserve or freeze produce
1:22 am
puglet
you have livestock too
1:22 am
flosey
no, no animals
1:22 am
flosey
had a dog but she just can't be replaced
1:23 am
grannyrose
mr flosey must be pretty fit, if he's still farming.
1:23 am
flosey
they did have cows when hubby was young - he had to milk them before going to school
1:23 am
grannyrose
how many acres, flosey?
1:24 am
puglet
do you have a produce stand that you sell from
1:24 am
flosey
we're on about 12 acres - the property was divided among the 4 kids - the other 3 have sold theirs
1:25 am
flosey
no we only sell if someone phones - hubby gets their order ready and they come to the door
1:25 am
grannyrose
12 acres is a considerable parcel of land. is most of it under cultivation?
1:25 am
puglet
I like farming, use to help my sister and her husband. We have a lot of amish that farms the old way here with horses and I love watching them
1:26 am
flosey
no, there's a creek running through, and quite a bit is heavily treed
1:27 am
flosey
ah I remember them from Kitchener/Waterloo area of Ontario
1:27 am
flosey
our house is at the back of the property with a hill behind that is all trees
1:28 am
puglet
your place sounds lovely
1:28 am
flosey
I must get a picture of a variegated holly tree that is just loaded with berries this year - behind the house
1:28 am
flosey
it's nice, quiet
1:28 am
puglet
I just love the old farmhouses with the wrap around porches
1:29 am
puglet
You have many fruit trees
1:30 am
flosey
we had this home built for us - to lock-up, then we finished it
1:30 am
flosey
yes many huge cedars, apple orchard - the old and also new
1:31 am
puglet
do you make apple cider for this time of the year
1:31 am
flosey
last year we were infested with tent caterpillers but in spite of them we had a bumper crop of apples - hubby worked hard at keeping them more or less under control
1:32 am
grannyrose
so how old were you then, flosey? was it before kids, or after?
1:32 am
flosey
many lost all their apples to the infestation
1:32 am
flosey
oh no, we retired here - raised our kids in Ontario
1:33 am
flosey
the 2 girls are now living in Vancouver and the 2 boys were settled in Ontario
1:33 am
grannyrose
my goodness, you and mr flosey are certainly the adventurous types, aren't you?
1:33 am
flosey
lol, well, perhaps he is
1:34 am
puglet
were you raised on a farm too
1:34 am
grannyrose
such a major life change to make...
1:34 am
flosey
it was always his dream to come back and live on this land and grow our own vegs and fruit
1:35 am
grannyrose
with a few hens, you could almost be self-sufficient.
1:35 am
puglet
thats nice he got to fullfill his dreams
1:35 am
flosey
no, no hens but have neighbours who have stands so we buy our eggs there
1:36 am
grannyrose
or you could barter with your produce.
1:36 am
flosey
yes, he will be happy to just drop out in his garden - long after I'm gone that is
1:36 am
flosey
they probably grow as much as needed
1:37 am
puglet
how about you Flosey, did you want to make that change too
1:37 am
grannyrose
yeah, i guess so...when i was in my 30''s i had a dream of becoming self-sufficient. even looked at buying a horse and buggy.
1:37 am
flosey
I knew it was coming, so of course, he started teaching in BC and then we moved to Ontario where he taught for 30 years
1:37 am
flosey
so tit for tat
1:38 am
joshuavorbis
hi and nbt
1:38 am
grannyrose
g'day josh
1:38 am
flosey
we lived about 15/20 miles from my parents
1:38 am
puglet
and what happen Rose
1:39 am
flosey
oh, sorry JOSH
1:39 am
grannyrose
* rueful face * divorce happened
1:39 am
flosey
ah, but you are very happy now rose
1:40 am
puglet
well its not too late for a horse and buggy
1:40 am
grannyrose
abso-jolly-lutely, flosey. i feel i have wa4ed all my life for this man.
1:40 am
flosey
horses need space and take a fare bit of care
1:40 am
grannyrose
what flosey said
1:40 am
joshuavorbis
i think divorce is becoming much less stigmatised as years go by
1:41 am
flosey
so true josh
1:42 am
puglet
the whole family unit is not as we had in the days gone by
1:43 am
joshuavorbis
i have seen great people get divorced, and horrible people get divorced. no subset of people is immune
1:43 am
grannyrose
josh, maybe in your and younger generations. for me it was the most horrible thing i went through. and then i didn't fit in any of the cliques at church.that almost undid me. i was female, divorced, with 3 kids. not what a 'good' anglican female should be.
1:43 am
flosey
I do understand that situation rose
1:44 am
joshuavorbis
yes i think generational change is the big factor, although religious communities are a bit different
1:44 am
flosey
they seem slower to come to grips with the changes
1:44 am
grannyrose
my now husband was in the same boat, male, divorced with three kids. but he was never ostracised.
1:45 am
joshuavorbis
men are forgiven transgressions many times quicker than women
1:45 am
joshuavorbis
especially in religious communities IMO
1:45 am
flosey
seems so, unfortunately
1:45 am
grannyrose
exactly, josh. no help for the woman....
1:46 am
puglet
sadly thats too true
1:47 am
flosey
bb in a bit
1:48 am
grannyrose
my beloved robyn was like a tigress when it came to defending me. she even shouted down our canon's wife, when she had the audacity to say that she was praying for a reunion with my ex and me.
1:48 am
joshuavorbis
i could make a joke about henry VIII and divorce but i think i'll let that one go
1:49 am
grannyrose
good idea, josh...nah, mate. i have broad shoulders...let 'er rip.
1:49 am
puglet
Rose did you know it was coming or was it a shock from out of the blue
1:49 am
joshuavorbis
that is awful, rose. i hope you were able to find compassion somewhere
1:51 am
grannyrose
pugs, it was hard. kids and i were subjected to physical and verbal abuse for many years. i took out a restraining order against him. 3 weeks after he had left, i found out about his 2 year long affair.
1:51 am
flosey
oh gosh, that must have been so painful rose
1:52 am
puglet
how awful Rose--
1:52 am
flosey
guess the canon's wife wasn't aware of all the goings on
1:53 am
joshuavorbis
in my experience that wouldn't necessarily change things, flos
1:53 am
grannyrose
ah, it happens...and the old adage is true. the wife is the last to know. several people came up to me and volunteered the information, when they found we were separated. it nearly killed me.
1:53 am
joshuavorbis
there is this old-fashioned belief that women should stick by their men despite a whole litany of misbehavior
1:54 am
flosey
no, but for her to make such a comment about them getting back together - twas a blessing
1:54 am
grannyrose
but just think for a sec...look what i have now.
1:54 am
joso
I'm sorry you've had hardships in your life rose, but I must say I an very fond of the end product.
1:55 am
puglet

2:01 am
grannyrose

2:01 am
puglet
He died several years ago with a heartattack
2:02 am
puglet
well He says to forgive seventy times 7, dosent he?
2:02 am
joso
you are the sweetest little pug in the world
2:02 am
flosey
but he didn't say it was easy
2:03 am
puglet
nah Joso, Ive made alot of mistakes myself along the way
2:03 am
puglet
no its not always easy
2:03 am
joso
oooh, that sounds titilating
2:04 am
flosey

2:19 am
joso
makes her sound a bit more frivolous than she was
2:19 am
grannyrose
oh, sorry, that was your mother's name....you weren't being facetious.
2:20 am
joso
when my mom was a babe her older sister got her first look and said oh what a funny bunny
2:20 am
flosey
interesting how these names stick throughout life
2:21 am
flosey
all my cousins still call me lolo but sis & bro outgrew that

2:25 am
grannyrose
oh, joso, too funny. that reminds me, same bro called our mother jabba the hutt for years. she thought it was hysterical. but she has never seen any of the films.
2:26 am
flosey

2:27 am
pink17
grannyrose I can not even find that en word in the scrabble dictionary
2:27 am
grannyrose
and my father, when they were getting ready to go out, used to say, here's your bag, hag...and she never once heard the last word.
2:28 am
grannyrose
it means induced without, as by innoculation.

puglet

2:53 am

2:54 am
joso

2:54 am
flosey

sprite
good morning all
4:01 am
joso
hi sprite, running late today
4:02 am
sprite
hi joso, yeah, slept in. My children had the first 2 hours off. How are you?
4:03 am
joso
I'm well, how about you, sleeping well if nothing else
4:03 am
sprite
am pretty ok. Group went well yesterday. I felt like I had done a bad week of eating and they said not at all, very good actually, and not to look only at the bad spots.
4:04 am
sprite
oh, and I am free of the butter thing :)
The dietician said I am doing fine with the vitamins and omega oils, that it is not worth stressing over and that I certainly should not eat something I hate. Seems digestion is off for stuff you really hate.
4:05 am
joso
well that's very heartening, one does tend to do that, let the failures overshadow the successes
4:06 am
sprite
yes and I am such a perfectionist. I really had to be told to tone it down. Good enough is good enough.
4:08 am
joso
no butter/margarine on top of doing better than you had realized
4:09 am
sprite
ah, indeed :) Yes, quite a relief. I told her I will try it later on in the treatment, and she was happy with that.
4:11 am
joso
but I think you are missing out, a really nice bread with a bit of good butter is one of my favorites, but to each his own. some swear by raw oysters, and I think it a truly disgusting dish.
4:13 am
sprite
de gustibus etc... we can't argue with people's tastes and disgusts.
4:21 am
sprite
and how are you yourself, joso?
4:27 am
joso
I am doing ok. i decided to ride my bike for my exercise today, went out and to the bike on some kind of autopilot, came aware when i couldn't find the place to put my keys. subconscious must have registered 'travel' and got the keys from my pocket, selected the car door key, and kicked it all up to my conscious mind when it couldn't find the keyhole, lol
4:28 am
sprite
lolol oh I can see you do that :D Could have been me.
4:28 am
sprite
we are having almost non-stop rain, have been going on for days and no end in sight yet. Am gonna ride my hometrainer today :)
4:29 am
joso
do you ride outside sometimes?
4:30 am
sprite
yes, we have recently acquired an old bike for me and I ride to the raiway station and sometimes to the shops on it, and to the doctor and diabetes nurse.
4:32 am
joso
thats great, you seem to be gaining some confidence in facing the world, and real bike riding is so much more interesting than stationary bike.
4:33 am
sprite
yes, I think you are right about that. Have visited Amsterdam's famous street market by myself too. Couldn't have done that a year ago.
4:34 am
joso
so so happy for you sprite
4:34 am
sprite
thanks joso :) The friendship of my dear babble friends helps a lot!
4:35 am
joso
nice when you can start to see tangible results for hard work.
4:35 am
sprite
very rewarding. Took quite some years of therapy to make it happen. But happen it does ;)
4:36 am
joso
well, we cheer and encourage, but it is you that is doing the heavy lifting.
4:37 am
sprite
the kids started to fight again last night, btw. Caya is seeing one of the therapists today and I wrote to him about it, hope he can shed some light on the mess. Tim is threatening with violence again. The ass.
4:37 am
sprite
hehehe joso, but cheering and encouraging makes me want to do the lifting, and keeps me at it when it gets tough.
4:43 am
joso
well I'm going back to the grid got a few words left.
4:43 am
sprite
ok, good luck finding them! Wtg on the biking thing and getting fresh air and exercise at the same time. I hope you had a fun ride.

crosshair
i know the risks well,mimi.i am weighing the options very carefully
9:06 am
MimiCat

9:07 am
crosshair

Aloyisius
Mimi, I'll email you .. we will be in Phoenix Nov. 22-Dec. 3rd... maybe we could get together?

9:09 am
crosshair
there are therapies i can do like the chin strapwith counterweights to relieve pressue on the disks and some exercises.but in the end i will waittill i am crawling on all fours before i let them play with my spine

But I expect to have visiting rights

Oh, no, River. That is agonizing.
9:35 am

I will be looking for a new companion soon - thinking about getting a couple of kitties.
9:36 am

I have never had cats before but if I want to get away for a day or two I can do that with a cat

9:47 am
Riverdance
a local elementary school here just banned Tag
9:48 am
Uneaixoise
wow -- had heard some had banned dodgeball
9:48 am
Scrabbler
Now kids play videogames and have cell phones when they are 6.
9:48 am
Aloyisius
we got beat up in dodgeball but it was a favorite
9:48 am
Judi
Tag? What the hell is wrong with tag?
9:48 am
Riverdance
yes here too and I can amost understand that but Tag...really? Its because of the touching.....
9:49 am
Aloyisius
oh groan
9:49 am
Uneaixoise
noooooo
9:49 am
Riverdance
my kids loved dodgemall - they still play it here in our high school but I had to sign a permission slip for my son to play this year.
9:50 am
Riverdance
Nope....it was just on the news this week - touching is not allowed at recess - so I guess no one can push anyone on the swings either....
9:50 am
Judi
What about baseball and softball. You have to "tag" someone out sometimes. On the up side, hopefully they'll ban square dancing.
9:51 am
Aloyisius
lol, you didn't like the dosey doh?
9:51 am
Riverdance
snort.....
9:51 am
Judi
I could never understand how square dancing made it into gym class.
9:51 am
Aloyisius
allemand left and away we go! hee haw
9:52 am
Uneaixoise
and no more clap-touching? . . . my boyfriend;s name is tony -- he comes from a town called bolony . . . ????
9:52 am
Aloyisius
aww, that would be criminal indeed
9:53 am
Riverdance
I really need to get back to work but this is too much fun....
9:53 am
Riverdance
some parent must have complained about Tag....and looked what happened.....
9:53 am
Scrabbler
I must get ready for my day too. Shop for my mom, bring stuff to her house, then play with greatnephew for a few hrs. High of 70 degrees here today!
9:53 am
Aloyisius
I know.. I have to go too, an appt. and I don't think "babble" will be a good excuse to miss it.. ciao for now, all.. poof
9:54 am
Riverdance
good day Aloy
9:54 am
Uneaixoise
bye aloy
9:54 am
Riverdance
alright - you all are making me feel guilty about getting paid to babble so if I must go.......poof
9:55 am
Judi
Lol. We used to play a game called "smeer the queer" at recess. Basically, whoever got the ball, got smeered (tackled). That would so be a no-no these days.
9:55 am
Uneaixoise
jeezomeex judi!
9:56 am
Uneaixoise
ok need to get goin' too -- good to see everyone! bye
9:57 am

Snowball fights... it was good to blow off steam like that.
9:59 am
Judi
And - we had archery in gym class in high school. God forbid! Weapons!
10:00 am
MollyL
We played maul ball at recess. I bet that doesn't go over anymore.
10:02 am
Judi
I remember the boys playing "buck-buck". That was a broken neck waiting to happen.
10:05 am
MollyL
Only the boys? I played buck-buck.
10:08 am
MollyL
When you think about it, what the hell CAN kids play at recess with the "no touch" rule in place?
10:09 am
Judi
Follow the leader? Graffiti the school?
10:10 am
hurshy
you can still play on the swings
10:11 am
MollyL
I guess they all stand around playing Angry Birds on their cell phones. And no Hursh, playground equipment has been deemed too dangerous too.
10:11 am
hurshy
oh, weird.
10:12 am
hurshy
we used to play chinese jumprope, you don't have to touch in that
10:13 am
hurshy
and we'd play house in the roots of the trees, no touching there either
10:13 am
hurshy
hopscotch
10:13 am

by all means, speak your mind snags
10:31 am
flosey
and good morning everyone
10:32 am
snags
just an observation really. I think our kids and parents are out of control. Parents have no control over their kids, and the kids know it.
10:34 am
snags
that was an akward
10:35 am
snags
that was a a dumb sentence .............
10:37 am

well. luckily, some are still ok. my sister & her husband, for instance, are doing a fabulous job with my niece & nephew.
10:38 am
snags
so is my daughters boys. they are polite,kind and great kids.
10:38 am
hurshy
so there you go. all is not lost.
10:40 am

no, but they are an exception, not the rule.

They have started developing touristy type places along one of the rivers - big deal for their culture - used to only think of rivers for transportation.

hiya min!
8:50 pm
Minveryork
Phantom words for me today are entree,honey and winter.
8:50 pm
dan2bit
i am surprised how many otherwise compassionate people just don't get it about how badly a few words in the Constitution have impacted DC
8:51 pm
jmcnrick
i thought so dan but i get confused sometimes with the various personas
8:51 pm
jmcnrick
it doesn't cross their lives so they don't see it
8:52 pm
jmcnrick
i was walking down the street one day and a couple of tourists were commenting on the license plates and speculating what no taxation with representation meant. . .
8:52 pm
jmcnrick
so i told them. . .
8:52 pm
MollyL
Are you two talking about something that happened here, or on Facebook?
8:52 pm
jmcnrick
that is why whenever i fill out a form i cross off the word state. . .
8:53 pm
jmcnrick
i posted on fh the fact that our public school teachers weren't going to get paid because of the damn government shut down. . .
8:53 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
do not get me started on this topic!! lol

8:53 pm

Funny icon MollyL!
8:54 pm

well i just want people to understand why we need a state of DC
8:55 pm
jmcnrick
any way i have to get up early and i got my nbt so i think i will leave. . . don't let me start anything. . . .
8:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
no argument from me, jm
8:55 pm
jmcnrick
i know book. . . thanks. . .
8:58 pm
dan2bit
anyway, as someone born and raised in DC, it's a soapbox I find hard to resist getting up on :-)
8:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
the constitution was designed to be changed -- so it's just not such a big deal when something happens that causes us to need to change it
9:01 pm
dan2bit
and actually, it's only indirectly the Constitution itself. The law in question is "The Residence Act", passed by the first US Congress in 1790.
9:01 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
those "strict constructionists" should bear that in mind
9:03 pm
dan2bit
it's kind of fascinating - the real problems for the District have come from provisions in the Act about whose laws should prevail during and after construction of the city, and precedent that Consitutional references to "the States" should implicitly exclude DC
9:03 pm
dan2bit
anyway, don't get me (re)started...
9:05 pm
o-o
If it makes sense to fix a problem, do not expect our purported representatives to agree.

9:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
howdee o-o and TO
9:06 pm
dan2bit
good point o-o :-) it also doesn't help that the city itself is so full of Democrats that even a functional GOP would not want to see us get voting representation in Congress
9:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi gwen
9:07 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
yeah, they (the crap-headed ones) are no longer representatives, they are "representatives"

9:12 pm
