Lizlin

Really REALLY happy about that.

1:47 am

puglet

it all goes hand in hand--like a pebble thrown in pool

1:47 am

grannyrose

btw, the counseling has definitely helped. something happened at church, and i was able to actually talk to don about it, without losing the plot or being accusatory.

Lizlin

Ripple effect! One good thing leads to another :)

1:48 am

puglet

3:16 am

good morning again

3:17 am

puglet

that was quick and re HI

3:17 am

sprite

hehehe yeah it is close by. And a really good pedicurist too, medically schooled and she works fast.

3:18 am

puglet

did you get a paint job too--and if so what color

3:19 am

sprite

no, I didn't. It is not really her thing either, though she will do it (and beautifully) when asked. I will do so in summer, and then it will be the reddest red she has.

3:20 am

puglet

at least it makes you feel good about yourself as you should

3:21 am

sprite

I do my own fingernails every once in a while, it makes me feel so good about myself. Am rather extravagant with it too, even though I dress rather conservatively. My one big vanity, my fingernails :)

3:22 am

puglet

nothing wrong in that at all!

3:23 am

sprite

hehehe no I don't think so either.

3:23 am

o-o

I braid my nose hairs.

3:24 am

puglet

do you add beads too? lol--and good morning OO

3:24 am

sprite

oooo cute, o-o :) Do the braids go past the corners of your mouth or straight down?

3:25 am

o-o

I wax them so they stick out perpendicular to my body.

3:25 am

sprite

oh even better! Makes it easier to judge the width of a doorframe too.

3:26 am

puglet

like cat whiskers!

3:26 am

sprite

:)

3:28 am

puglet

when I was in town yesterday, the farm store had new chicks in---so cute but the little bannies are the cutest--so tiny they are

3:29 am

sprite

did you bring one? Or two? Just to start things up? :)

3:30 am

puglet

no--its too cold yet---I need to set up a heat lamp and all before doing that

3:30 am

sprite

ah I see. All in good time. Just looking should give you a good feeling already, I think :)

3:32 am

puglet

some of my hens will go to setting and I will let them hatch out their own and I dont have to fool with all that. The hens are much better at being amommy then Iam--lol

3:32 am

sprite

oh awesome! You can get more chicks that way and it won't cost you too much.

3:33 am

puglet

no, it wont cost anything---I can save the hens and sell the roosters

3:34 am

sprite

even better! That is awesome, pugs.

3:39 am

puglet

after today its suppose to start warming up again.And friday up in the 50's

3:42 am

sprite

oh wow! Finally, pugs. I hope this is it then for the winter.

3:43 am

puglet

Iam afraid not---some snow again over the week end but I think spring is in the teens now, is it not OO

3:44 am

sprite

16 days or thereabouts?

3:44 am

puglet

I made some mac and tomatoes for my sister that lives not far from me and Iam going there later today

3:45 am

sprite

I hope you have a nice visit, pugs.

3:46 am

sprite

fireflies for me

3:46 am

sprite

I wish you both (plus lurkers) a blessed day and a peaceful evening. *hugs*

3:46 am

puglet

her best friend lives a couple of houses down and she has md and Iam going to stop and she her too. Sinces shes in a wheelchair she likes the company

3:47 am

puglet

3:47 am

6:31 am

crosshair

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll... arrrooooo.. catchy tune:))

6:31 am

rubyfoo

all the bulbs are inches up and the daffs have formed buds. It is, however, too early, and I fear we'll get the much-delayed snow in March or even April

now it is time for the Crossy tidbit of the day!!! In the 1988 Seoul Olympics, during the opening ceremonies, you may have noticed that they cut away from the doves a bit fast with the cameras and carried on. The reason being, as soon as the doves were released several of them decided to rest on the Olympic cauldron and were incinerated when the torch was lit:(.. I know a bit gruesome but still interesting

6:46 am

rubyfoo

9:09 am

yes...that was taken outside our dining room window

9:10 am

flosey

wow, we have had them, on occasion, once we were walking around and found ourselves to be between Mother and a young one, neither of them knew what to do, so we got out of their way - but we do have to keep them out of the gardens

9:13 am

phaeton

we feed them so they come in. It's great to watch the babies grow.

9:13 am

Thanks! That is our great granddaughter...She will be 3 in June and I'm missing her ( and everyone else ) very much ! I'm feeling a big urge to get back home !

9:28 am

flosey

9:29 am

dianedecoder

We spend about 3 months in our son's home down here in Casa Grande, Az. ( This is our 7th winter down here)

9:30 am

flosey

sounds lovely, now I do remember you speaking about your son having a place in Az

9:31 am

dianedecoder

We come down right after Christmas and stay until mid April. Our son and daughter in law are here right now, enjoying a couple of weeks in "their" home with us. He's still a working man...with Telus in Calgary. :-)

9:37 am

dianedecoder

I've lived in Alberta for all but 2 of my 74 years, and those 2 years were in lovely Victoria !!

9:39 am

flosey

what took you to Victoria? we lived there first year we were married - hubby's grad year from Vic College - think it may have been their last year issuing UBC degrees, they then became U Vic

9:40 am

flosey

lived in Vancouver next year - had to have 5th year ED. to become teacher

9:41 am

Nef

Good Morning everyone. I just read Diane say everything was in bloom and I was shocked:How could Cananda be so warm already (I had to read ALL of the chog to see my assumption was wrong!)

9:41 am

Our dad moved us all out there when I was 18, to be closer to his aging parents. I was oldest of 5, and had been going with my Wally for a year at that time. I worked in the Nova Scotia bank for 2 years and then Wally came and kidnapped me back to Alberta LOL ( actually married in Victoria in May 1960 and back to Alberta )

9:43 am

flosey

what a lovely story, diane

for example, my teardown and subsequent book reports, essays, and expanded paragraphs ended up being longer than the book it was about by the time you factor in all the rough drafts, cites and final copies :/

4:44 pm

Murphy is busy tearing up a box. He thinks that is a good game. We are all well and the house building seems to be about six weeks from completion (I don't know which planet's time system we re using.)

4:56 pm

5:44 pm

JenMO16

good morning lizlin

5:45 pm

Lizlin

Hi Jen

5:47 pm

lilliann

Hi Liz, sorry i was watching tv.It's the Brit in you:)

5:48 pm

Lizlin

How are you today - has the rain stopped?

5:51 pm

lilliann

I'm fine thanks.I don't think we had rain up north today but i was in bed for most of it so it may of done.i t was dry this afternoon and evening, but we are still getting alot of rain in the U.K and winds.we seem to get more gales up here.How are you, and you're weather?

5:52 pm

Lizlin

I'm fine - weather's good here - autumn now and highs of about 27 C :)

5:53 pm

Lizlin

And hopefully for our US friends, I think the freeze is easing a bit.

5:53 pm

lilliann

27C...it's not very often we get that here in the Summer up north, i'm jealous.No wonder you moved to Aus :)

5:55 pm

Lizlin

True - I like the climate here - not too many extremes where we live. Occasional days, when it might be in the high 30's but not often. Occasional humidity and a few winter nights, when the temp gets into mid-range single digits! Perfection, I reckon!

5:55 pm

lilliann

yes, i hope the snow is finally ending for them.It can't be nice living in snow all the time

5:56 pm

Lizlin

I hated it when it snowed in the UK. Driving to work was the pits! It brought out the worst in many drivers! I saw drivers driving on pavement to avoid traffic jams!

5:56 pm

lilliann

I must admit, that would be one Country i would live in.

5:57 pm

Lizlin

I never imagined living in Aus. I sometimes thought of NZ - we're hoping to visit there next year.

5:58 pm

lilliann

Plus alot of drivers can't drive in the snow/ice as we're not use to it.Especially younger drivers, as they don't have any experience in it

5:59 pm

Lizlin

That's very true. First time I drove in heavy snow, i found myself trying to duck the snowflakes that were headed straight on at the windscreen! LOL!

5:59 pm

lilliann

i should be a Kiwi now.My dad got a police job there when i was little but my mam didn't want him leaving us whilst she had to sell the house and sort things out

6:00 pm

Lizlin

Funny - all the might have beens! But for a choice! Do you watch Doctor Who? The episode with Donna - Turn Left!

6:00 pm

lilliann

LOL, easily done...i get dizzy with snow coming towards the windscreen,so i stop indoors:)

6:01 pm

Lizlin

Good choice. I've got some beautiful snow photos, that i took shortly before I left England. It really is beautiful, when it's new.

6:01 pm

lilliann

Not anymore.I remember the old episodes but i haven't watched them for years.My daughter use to love them but then stopped after dDavid Tennant left

6:02 pm

stidgmere

Well all for me now. 23 left on the grid and not likely I'm going to pursue them. Keep dodging the snowflakes, liz!

6:02 pm

lilliann

And that's me as a passenger by the way

6:02 pm

JenMO16

if anyone needs me, I will be in Lickety's room!

6:02 pm

Lizlin

We both enjoy it and are looking forward to the new series.

6:02 pm

Lizlin

Hi stidg. Have a good evening.

6:02 pm

Lizlin

Also using lickety - down to 14 now. Started the morning at 25 or something similar.

6:03 pm

lilliann

Bye Gmere, tc hin and hugs to you:)

6:03 pm

JenMO16

I am sown to 98

6:03 pm

Lizlin

New glasses are making me dizzy :( Combined computer / reading ones.

6:04 pm

lilliann

We'll shout Jen :)

6:04 pm

lilliann

39 here and i'm using lickety too

6:04 pm

JenMO16

thanks, lilliann, and I know what you are talking about lizlin!

6:05 pm

lilliann

I was hoping to be finished by Midnight but it's the usual for me, that i'm still plodding along.i get easily sidetracked:)

6:05 pm

lilliann

I have to take my glasses off now to read and go on the computor

6:06 pm

Lizlin

Taking a break now. Giving my eyes a rest. Only got these glasses yesterday. Before had separate reading and computer glasses. These are slightly stronger.

6:07 pm

Lizlin

Good luck with the grid. I'll be back in an hour or so to finish. Thanks for the chat.

6:08 pm

JenMO16

okay, liz, see you later

6:08 pm

lilliann

Tc Liz, i hope you get over your dizzy spells, hopefully i won't be here when you come back(not nastily said) :)

JenMO16

beth, how much snow do you have?

8:36 pm

bethn

It has been a good way to ease back on the compulsion to finish. But i do miss not finishing regularly. Also it is not convenient for extended chatting as i am not the fastest 1 finger typist

8:36 pm

Jillyjill

All of our snow is melting quickly....but not wanting to think it is sign of spring just yet.

8:37 pm

JenMO16

8:45 pm

bethn

Bye jen

8:45 pm

welki

8:46 pm

Jillyjill

I would have loved to do a meetup when I was out there in December, but just wrong time of year.

8:46 pm

welki

it's rough, jilly :(

8:46 pm

bethn

That is hard to handle jilly. How old is she?

8:46 pm

welki

i'm still waiting for you to get your passport and come north

8:46 pm

penquis

we still have a reasonable amount on the ground...but not too much....just keeps snowing twice a week....not much each time usually....

8:47 pm

welki

we're expecting more snow tonight, too - and it's been soooo very cold the last couple of weeks

8:47 pm

penquis

sorry....didn't realize Jen had left...

8:47 pm

penquis

very cold here this week, too....

8:48 pm

Jillyjill

I have my passport!! I did also attempt a meetup with Jilli and Flosey last October, but that didn't work either...maybe I'm a jinx!

8:48 pm

shorty

8:48 pm

It got up to 38 here today. I thought it was a little bit of heaven

8:49 pm

8:51 pm

penquis

i am not in Canada....i am in Maine...

8:52 pm

bethn

Holy crap welki! How do you manage? I bought my daughter and me long northface jackets this year to cope with our -10 wind chills but -45 is unthinkable

8:54 pm

shorty

yes i accidently put ur name sorry I see u are from Maine I LOVE MAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:55 pm

welki

i guess i've gotten (a little) used to it, but i have to say i'm sick and tired of winter already - it's been a bad one

8:56 pm

welki

beth, i think i remember you telling me you're from morris county (because we were talking about how i used to live in sussex county) - yes?

8:56 pm

bethn

Thats me welki : )

8:57 pm

bethn

I haven't chatted much lately things were getting a little testy in the chog so i just opted out for a while

8:58 pm

welki

and jilly - you're not a jinx, silly. plans just don't always work out

8:58 pm

Jillyjill

Certainly hope not...I really would like to meet my babble buddies, you all are such a support system!

8:58 pm

welki

yep, that's why you don't see a bunch of the 'regulars' much anymore

9:00 pm

Jillyjill

And I am sorry about that...I do just ignore . I have to say it has been much better lately.

9:00 pm

bethn

Has there been a large exodus ? this is the first time I've been on in about 8 months

9:01 pm

Jillyjill

Mostly personality clashes. I have to bite my lip now and then!

9:04 pm

welki

how far are you from pincher creek, jilly?

9:04 pm

bethn

I know how you feel. I just found it easier to not even look. I come to babble to destress, not ramp up the level.

9:05 pm

welki

9:06 pm

Jillyjill

Truth!

9:08 pm
