1:43 am

VolleymomDee

My hubby always had big dogs growing up - German shepherds and Irish setters. They are intimidating to those of us who haven't been around dogs, so I can understand ryan's "no" :)

1:44 am

cosdem

2:47 am

flosey

I have a fair amoun on my computer that I listen to while doing puzzles, such as bable

2:48 am

grannyrose

but i think my favourite is rock and roll. my parents introduced me to swing and jazz, both of which i still enjoy.

2:49 am

flosey

there is a 16 year old from Quebec who sings Elvis' songs - he really sounds great

2:49 am

grannyrose

understand, pugs. and new movies think they have to include awful swearing all through the story. i hate it.

2:49 am

puglet

Iam like you Rose, I like songs from a wide range--not stuck on just one kind

2:50 am

grannyrose

it was quite sweet this afternoon. i had a beatle's cd on, and in the next room, my canary was singing along. don was amazed. i laughed, and said, you should hear him with glenn miller.

2:52 am

grannyrose

and because i have always had music playing in my home, i have a 20 something son who loves swing and jazz. and my eldest loves neil diamond, and middle son likes rock and roll.

2:52 am

2:56 am

grannyrose

3:46 am

3:47 am

puglet

3:55 am

puglet

3:57 am

rubyfoo

we've only had one very small snowfall and temps hovering about 0C, 32F and 40 or so in the afternoon. But I know it's not too late. One year we had a blizzard on 16 April!

3:58 am

puglet

our neighbor brought his tractor and blade and cleaned out all the neighbors drives...was so nice of him to do

3:58 am

sprite

for us the venom might be in the tail, ruby. But I hope not!

Morning Mr Crossy

3:59 am

rubyfoo

that year we had snow on the tulips and it was beautiful. There are pix someplace in the bowels of my computer

3:59 am

grannyrose

cooee crossy.

3:59 am

sprite

thanks for your email, crossy, very helpful

3:59 am

rubyfoo

{{crossy}} "we've got our bear to keep us warm"

4:00 am

crosshair

good stuff sprite. sorry it was short and abrupt, I was typing it on my tablet and it can be a trial to get things typed out correctly on it

4:00 am

puglet

Iam going to get a thank you card and send a bit of money to help pay for some of his gas---I dont know how other to thank him

4:00 am

crosshair

all my favorite ladies;))))

4:00 am

grannyrose

oh, i nearly forgot, joso sends his love, and says he misses all of you. he seems to be keeping more regular hours at the moment, and so isn't here at this time.

4:00 am

sprite

np crossy, I know how awkward those things are for typing when you are wellversed in the querty keyboard.

4:01 am

grannyrose

yay, crossy, will try to not make you choke on your cuppa .

4:01 am

sprite

ooh thank you rose! Great to hear. Miss him lots too!

4:01 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure that doing a good deed like that makes him feel good in his heart, and warm!

4:02 am

puglet

It probably does but I think I should do something

4:04 am

sprite

pug, something small maybe, like a card or something you cooked.

4:04 am

crosshair

reading back on the fella with the tractor who cleaned up the driveways. those big tractors get horrible mileage on a tank of diesel, so if you all chip in and help him get some fuel,i am sure that would be most appreciated, puglet

4:04 am

grannyrose

i know you have seen it, pugs, but friends, there is a pic of my grand-daughter in my profile. she is wearing her first tutu, and starts lessons tomorrow.

4:06 am

puglet

thanks Crossy, I feel I should do something to repay the kindness

4:06 am

puglet

and ty too Sprite

4:06 am

crosshair

if we all pay it forward, we make a happier planet;)

4:07 am

rubyfoo

Claudia is a knockout! Where did she get those curls?

4:07 am

grannyrose

and the other pic of the map of australia shows europe and the UK all within it's borders. to give you an idea of how big australia is.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

Crossy, you're right. I told my husband abut "pay it forward, and even he understood and liked the concept

4:08 am

grannyrose

ruby, from me, to her daddy, from her daddy to her.

4:08 am

sprite

so true, crossy

4:11 am

sprite

rose, interesting, that map. Aussie is so huge :)

4:12 am

grannyrose

sorry it's so small. don is looking for a better version(larger).

4:12 am

rubyfoo

sprite,when you look at that map, we look like neighbors! lol

4:13 am

sprite

lololol

4:13 am

grannyrose

well compared to lizlin and i, you are...lol

4:14 am

crosshair

lol,sprite, you should try where crossy lives. weeks to drive from east to west. when living up north, we once had a cottage on a lake(off the grid) where it was an hour drive to the nearest telephone and almost 2 hours to the closest store. heck, even living here, I once drove two hours just to get that perfect hambuger lol

4:15 am

rubyfoo

it's like Texas, takes more than a day to drve across

4:16 am

crosshair

kind of jealous of the euros however, you guys can drive an hour and hit five different countries lol

4:16 am

grannyrose

crossy, not even going to try to compare aussie with canada or the us of a.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

when we first moved here and still skied, we could drive to Austria in 5 hours, crossing Switz, Lichtenstein, etc.

4:17 am

crosshair

my uncle always makes my mind cramp when he talks about "popping over" to spain for the weekend, then I remember, that for them, it is just a hop , skip and a jump across the channel

puglet

4:30 am

crosshair

4:31 am

sprite

don't let your beloved hear you, lol

4:31 am

sprite

yeah, it is, pug. Because I lack the energy. Otherwise it wouldn't be so bad, I think.

4:31 am

puglet

5:06 am

puglet

I would glady share with you OO

5:07 am

Foffle

good morning all :)

5:07 am

puglet

Hi foffle, nice to m4 you

5:08 am

Foffle

hi puglet

5:08 am

o-o

Hello, Foffle. How is your onion today?

5:09 am

Foffle

my onion?

5:10 am

o-o

Just talking nonsense ... an onion seemed like a good conversation starter.

5:10 am

Foffle

well my onion is fine - how's yours?

5:10 am

puglet

Iam not foffle but I can say my onions are buried under snow and the ones in the house are sprouting

5:11 am

o-o

My onion has a certain a peel

5:11 am

Foffle

oh dear!

5:12 am

o-o

Do the sprouts add to the flavor, pugs?

5:14 am

puglet

Havent ever tried it, but I suppose they might--should taste like green onions I would think

5:15 am

o-o

Sprouts on potatoes get the knife.

5:15 am

crosshair

howdy, foffle

5:16 am

Foffle

hiya crossy!

5:17 am

crosshair

i have used onion sprouts in place of traditional green onions many times

5:17 am

crosshair

so,do not toss those furry old onions right away:)

5:17 am

puglet

and does it taste like green onions

5:18 am

crosshair

or better yet., plant them

5:18 am

puglet

I do have winter onions and I like the onion flowers too

5:22 am

o-o

Approximately 170 countries grow onions for their own domestic use, and many are also involved in international trade. It is estimated that over 9.2 million acres of onions are harvested annually around the World. This production is grown from more than 8 million pounds of seed. Production is in excess of 3.2 billion 50# units according to sources at the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization in Rome, Italy. Approximately 8 percent of this global onion production is traded internationally. Leading onion production countries are China, India, United States, Turkey, and Pakistan, respectively.

5:22 am

crosshair

that's a lot of onion rings:))

5:24 am

puglet

interesting OO---I use alot of onions in cooking--we also have wild onions about us and I like those too

5:25 am

o-o

Do will onions do better in a structured environment. Wild and crazy onions could be a hazard.

5:25 am

Jivingjenny0

please can someone clue the gr8

5:26 am

o-o

wild ... terrible spelling again

5:26 am

o-o

color + allow or rent

5:27 am

Jivingjenny0

thankyou

5:27 am

puglet

I dont know, OO---if in a structured environment then they wouldnt be wild would they?

5:28 am

crosshair

an onion shoot could be considered a gr8

5:28 am

Foffle

ty o-o nice clue

5:28 am

o-o

I suppose they could be radicals and wage war against the structure?

5:29 am

crosshair

well, you know those onions, they are complex, they have layers

5:31 am

puglet

every year I plant sweet onions and they dont taste any different then the regular ones---Ive even tried planting them away from each other and no different

5:32 am

o-o

Yes, but do they like to cuddle?

5:32 am

crosshair

that is odd. I prefer sweet varieties because they do not make your eyes water as much when chopping them up

5:33 am

puglet

lol, I dont know, OO--never had any to wrap their stems around me

5:33 am

puglet

It must be my ground, crossy is all I know

5:33 am

o-o

Not very sweet of them.

5:34 am

puglet

no, I guess not--lol

5:34 am

crosshair

do not trust those onions, puglet. they may come on strong but they will always leave you in tears

5:35 am

puglet

LOL Crossy, I will remember that

5:36 am

Foffle

LOL

5:40 am

o-o

onions seem to have a lot in common with relationships.

5:41 am

puglet

hows that OO

5:41 am

o-o

come on strong and leave you in tears

5:42 am

puglet

LOL--guess so

5:47 am

puglet

down to 25 and Iam just blinded

5:50 am

puglet

Need a break for abit from this---bye everyone and take care OO and enjoy the bliss of the day

5:51 am

Foffle

bye puglet

5:51 am

o-o

Be well, pugs

5:59 am

Winter's not over, but, although we might still get some snow, it is unlikely that it will get terribly cold

cold and icey this morning - another dusting of snow on the walks and cars

6:26 am

I hope we don't get a hard frost because the various bulbs are coming up, too soon, ths year

Ah. Now I remember! :-)

8:28 am

Judi

And ty for that clue.

8:28 am

hurshy

poor scotty's nephew... just a tr7...

8:29 am

hurshy

this is a very wrath of khan grid, really!

8:29 am

Judi

But he stayed at his post when everyone else ran!

8:29 am

hurshy

aye, he was a good lad

8:30 am

Judi

Then again, space is death, darkness and disease. Although not necessarily in that order.

8:30 am

hurshy

it is very...cold... in space

8:32 am

zoozzoom

It is chilly in my house too :-)

8:32 am

hurshy

not cold enough for revenge

8:33 am

Judi

A dish best served cold. Bah. We want a hot breakfast.

8:34 am

hurshy

it always irks me that khan is all, "you exiled us to this planet and everything is all your fault" when as i recall he was EXCITED about the opportunity to have a whole new world to tame and conquer all to himself. and to blame kirk for not checking up on him... well would YOU check on the jerk who took over your ship??

8:35 am

Judi

Khan was a bitter blamer.

8:35 am

hurshy

very unreasonable.

8:36 am

Judi

Really. Does anyone ever expect exile to be all roses and tropical drinks with little umbrellas?

8:37 am

hurshy

i mean, yes, the star going nova was unexpected and sucky, but, really, not kirk's fault.

8:38 am

bichon

Mornin' folksies

8:38 am

hurshy

hi bichon

8:38 am

Judi

Plus, I think the Federation also quarantined Ceti Alpha VI. So, the Khan squad knew no one was going to show up for a reunion.

8:38 am

hurshy

do you have any thoughts on khan-as-whiner?

8:41 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Bichon :-)

8:42 am

Judi

I think he was bummed that his group had no one to conquer. However, they all still looked pretty buff, considering they were marooned on a desert planet. Those guys could crack walnuts with their pecs.

8:42 am

bichon

Hi zooz, Judi, hurshy

8:43 am

bichon

hint for the di 8, pls

8:43 am

hurshy

hey they conquered those ceti eels pretty well

8:43 am

Judi

Okay. Enough Trek talk. I'm sure we're boring the masses.

8:44 am

bichon

I like ST, but am more familiar with NG

8:45 am

Judi

Moral of the story: Never wake those in cryogenic stasis.

8:46 am

Judi

Time to justify my existence and go do some real work. *POOF*

are you getting more snow bichon?

8:57 am

rubyfoo

and is it cold and windy, zzoozz?

8:59 am

zoozzoom

Not too cold....but we are having so much rain and yes high winds..that flooding is rife...hope it is better where you are, Ruby.

9:00 am

rubyfoo

cool (35040F and a little bit windy, but we are very lucky

9:00 am

rubyfoo

35 -40F *

9:00 am

rubyfoo

qt midnight, it's around 3C which is very warm for Feb

9:01 am

rubyfoo

and no rain or snow, so the dogs are drying out and there's less mud in the house

9:02 am

zoozzoom

it is around 4c-7c at night...and around 9c-10c during the day.

9:03 am

rubyfoo

you have the Gulf Stream, yes?

9:03 am

zoozzoom

Thats good to hear then, Ruby, at least the dogs can stay clean looking..lol

9:03 am

bichon

It's been snowing so much here. Twice this week

9:04 am

rubyfoo

9:04 am

rubyfoo

{{bichon}} has her fluffs to keep her warm

9:05 am

zoozzoom

Yes i have seen on the news the amount f snow that has been falling on your side of the water, Bichon, not nice at all.

9:06 am

rubyfoo

we are very lucky in Europe and the UK. The snow will probably come all at once in March and kill all the trees!

9:06 am

rubyfoo

all the bulbs are several inches up and it's much too early

9:07 am

zoozzoom

Yes they are here too, Ruby :-(

9:19 am

MollyL

Plants that grow from bulbs are very hardy. It's unlikely they are up too early.

9:19 am

harpjane

zoozzoom

Yes i must admit..my bulbs have always pulled through..no matter what the weather throws at them.

11:51 am

MollyL

That ar is a freaky word

11:51 am

phandmd

Yes, NBC 4's guy said basically the same thing. But I think it was still too early to say for sure. Sue Palka didn't want to commit to saying that.

11:51 am

hego

yes, freaky

11:52 am

MollyL

That's funny because Topper said it was too early to be predicting it 10 days out. : )

11:52 am

MollyL

And you can't trust Sue Palka, she is a robot.

11:52 am

cybernan

guess it would help to be an entomolgist

BzznBea

DArn fitbit.

5:09 pm

evanonut

i suppose i could set the ipad on the eliptical, but fit bit doesn't measure eliptical very accurately and i wouldn't be able to chat anyway

5:10 pm

evanonut

and that was totally not hesitation molly, can't fool these genius brain cells

5:12 pm

lilliann

really molly? treadmil shedmill!!i just go up and down the street doing wheelies on my laptop:)

5:12 pm

evanonut

5:13 pm

evanonut

hmmmm

5:13 pm

evanonut

5:13 pm

lilliann

5:14 pm

5:38 pm

5:39 pm

lilliann

me and belle would get on well.i hate the cold too.how old are they une?

5:41 pm

Uneaixoise

they were all under 5 -- I believe Jack was 1.5 yrs

5:41 pm

lilliann

i take my hat off to you for doing what you do une.i'd have to keep them all.it must be hard.i can't walk dogs because of my disabilities but i would love to foster cats.my husband doesn't agree though sadly

5:41 pm

Uneaixoise

all 3 were so pretty and very affectionate :-)

5:41 pm

MollyL

Une is a good soul : )

5:42 pm

lilliann

aww, bless them.well, i'm sure the girls will get homes soon

5:42 pm

Uneaixoise

I have 4 dogs that started out as fosters -- that's my limit LOL

5:43 pm

Dorens

hey une, et al

5:43 pm

Uneaixoise

hey doren :-)

5:43 pm

Lizlin

Hi Dorens

5:44 pm

lilliann

but i have got all my cats from homes,so i try and do something.i've also made things for a local cat shelter so they could sell them to fund the dogs and cats they have

5:44 pm

Dorens

just found out today my cat has diabetes.... wondering how i'm going to deal with it. He'll need two injections a day

5:44 pm

lilliann

hi dorens

5:44 pm

Uneaixoise

that's great, lilliann

5:44 pm

lilliann

i think 4 is enough une :)

5:45 pm

Dorens

had just been thinking about adopting another rescue to keep him company since Lucy died last year.

5:45 pm

lilliann

sorry to hear that dorens. do you do the injections or the vet?

5:45 pm

Uneaixoise

so sorry doren -- just found out last week that one of my older dogs has arrhythmia -- am now giving her heart meds every 8 hours . . .

5:45 pm

pida 1

Dorens, can't they control it diet, or do you have to give her the shots yourself

5:46 pm

Lizlin

That's tough Doren - and for you, Une.

5:46 pm

pida 1

with diet

5:46 pm

Dorens

it would have to be me.. and vet said it was too far gone to be controlled by diet.

5:47 pm

Dorens

sorry une,
i'm trying to figure out how to deal with my monthly weekends to visit the grandkids.

5:47 pm

Uneaixoise

doren, if it's any consolation, a good friend's cat lived many yrs after being diagnosed as diabetic

5:47 pm

Uneaixoise

(with shots like what you're describing)

5:48 pm

Uneaixoise

BRB . . .

5:48 pm

Dorens

it is consolation, but now i am going to be restricted... can't go into the city and stay all day and night. and i really don't know how to deal with my weekends away, not to mention the week i have in california in April to visit my son, and other vacations

5:48 pm

lilliann

i suppose it's similar to us having diabetes and having injections?

5:49 pm

lilliann

is there no-one else that could do them for you when you are away?

5:49 pm

Uneaixoise

people who do petsitting will also give injections

5:50 pm

Dorens

yes lil, but humans can go once a day ( i think) and it seems this will be twelve hours apart. i guess i'll have to start spending bigger bucks. oh well

5:53 pm

lilliann

yes,animals bills are always more expensive sadly.does it have to be twice a day.can your cat not have it daily or someone you know that could do it when you're away.who looks after your cat when you're away?

5:54 pm

Lizlin

I'm sure that you'll sort something out for your cats, that works well for you in the end.

5:54 pm

Lizlin

And for them, of course!

5:54 pm

Dorens

all these questions remain to be answered... first i have to have him go stay at the vets for a few days while they test and find out dosage, which can take some tiime. So sad... I've had friends look in on the cat, and also the kid across the street... super responsible but 14 year old kids. don't think i can ask them to do shots! my friends yes, but twice a day?

5:55 pm

Lizlin

I'm sure that once they've tried it, they won't mind. That's what friends do.

5:55 pm

Dorens

yup, will definitely work out something... there are worse situations in the world, it's just kind of a shock. but we will work through it

5:56 pm

Uneaixoise

hugs to you, dorens . . .

5:56 pm

Dorens

thanks une, and back at you

5:57 pm

MollyL

I know people who board their dogs when they are on vacation. Can you do that with cats?

5:57 pm

lilliann

well, once the dosage is found, your cat might not need 2 a day, so it's a wait and see game and i'm sure people will help you out dorens.i would if i was there but sadly not.everything will turn out ok hin:)

5:57 pm

lilliann

yes molly

5:58 pm

Dorens

can do, but he'd just be miserable. My daughter has offered to take him, but traveling is really not his thing, and it takes cats so long to become comfortable in new surroundings. think i'll just have to rely on the kindness of friends, and pay them back in kind (wine, meals, etc)

5:59 pm

Uneaixoise

I'm sure they'd be happy to help, doren

5:59 pm

Dorens

yup, that's what friends are for. i just hate to have to ask, but visiting the grandkids is NOT going to stop

6:00 pm

Uneaixoise

of course!! :-)

6:01 pm

lilliann

we did that with our cat at Christmas and i hated doing it for the fact that we got her from kennels in the first place and i thought she may remember but she seemed to be ok, so we were told

6:01 pm

Dorens

and fireworks. anyone need a clue?

6:01 pm

Uneaixoise

congrats!

6:02 pm

lilliann

doren's, true friends will always help whatever! :)

6:03 pm

liz, just read back and missed what you said about the floods.we've had bad rain and floods in places near here but we're ok thanks

6:03 pm

Uneaixoise

woohoo, liz!!

6:03 pm

Dorens

congrats liz, and i'm off to eat my dinner

6:03 pm

lilliann

Wtg liz!! :)

6:03 pm

MollyL

I sometimes wonder (when I read these things here) if a "pet barter" web site would be helpful. As in, people in the same communities willing to trade pet care.

6:03 pm

Lizlin

Stay safe all :)

6:03 pm

lilliann

bye liz, tc hin :)

6:03 pm

Uneaixoise

terrific idea, molly!!

6:04 pm

lilliann

ditto une:)

6:07 pm

Uneaixoise

back in a bit *poof*

6:14 pm

lilliann

when we were looking for care for our cat at christmas, we could get a home cat service which came every so often throughout the day or certain times but that's fine but i never know when my cat wants to go out and do her business.sometimes she's out all day and other times a couple of hours or 10 minutes but mostly she will sleep throughout the day and go out about 10/11pm.it cost a lot more doing that then kennels plus we still had to buy food and then there is the heating of the house and lights, but here you can also get house sitters who will stay in your house and look after pets, but i know they are vetted but it could cost me more in amenities.my next door neighbour's daughter has her dog in a sitter's house and it costs Â£12 a day and she feed him and she has 4 dogs of her own and he lives in her house and apparently loves the company
