my daughter 'curses' by saying Pindakaas! Which is dutch for peanut butter.

c'mon ruru. australian rules football, nothing like american football. deacon is in junior league.

2:49 am

rururocks

well.. pugs was talking about service here :D

2:50 am

puglet

true, but not from the pit you are in-lol

2:50 am

grannyrose

deacon plays footy after we have been to church. we usually go and watch him.

2:50 am

rururocks

ah

3:07 am

jmcnrick

i lied. . . .

3:08 am

rururocks

that's a sin jm

3:08 am

jmcnrick

i said that the next time i signed in i would be in the USA. . . but i am still in china

3:09 am

jmcnrick

they offered me $600 to take tomorrow''s flight. . and i said give me a direct flight and a hotel with food vouchers too and you got a deal. . . .

3:09 am

jmcnrick

so here i am in a hotel til tomorrow

3:09 am

rururocks

how long is a "direct" flight

3:11 am

jmcnrick

from 6:30 pm to 8:pm on the same day *giggle*. . .14 hours . . . .

3:11 am

jmcnrick

before i was taking a 13 hour flight to chicago and then transfering getting home to DC at midnight so this is a much better deal for me. . .

3:12 am

rururocks

wow.. I couldn't take that long a flight in one stop

3:12 am

jmcnrick

but the $600 turned out to be a airfare voucher :-( I can't imagine when I might travel again i am such a homebody. . . ;-)

3:13 am

jmcnrick

one hour more to avoid a transfer seemed like a good deal . . . .

3:13 am

rururocks

i guess

3:13 am

jmcnrick

i paid extra for the slightly larger leg room. . .well worth it to me

3:14 am

rururocks

5 hours to NYC is about my limit

3:14 am

jmcnrick

the difference between a 14 hour flight and a 13 hour flight is not much. . . both painful in their way

3:15 am

jmcnrick

yeah i would generally rather drive but haven't figured out how to drive to china, africa and such. . .

3:15 am

jmcnrick

maybe its time for me to work out a meet up in GB

3:16 am

rururocks

who else is near Green Bay ?

3:17 am

jmcnrick

some one in michigan?

3:17 am

rururocks

I don't know anyone in Michigan

3:18 am

jmcnrick

i would drive there anyway. . .

Well, every now and then I get it right....

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

good id** keeps him guessing

8:41 pm

harpjane

He just called, about 20 minutes away. I should move the sprinkler since it's blocking the door.... or not.....

8:42 pm

rururocks

He would prefer a naughty wife

8:42 pm

jmcnrick

how hot is it? he might enjoy the splash. . .

8:43 pm

MollyL

Personally, I'm stunned. At last there is a woman here who actually cooks for her husband, instead of the other way around.

8:43 pm

harpjane

hm, I doubt it. He's been skiing.

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

don't project ru. . .

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

my hubby and i took turns

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

on the other hand i was a substantially better cook

8:44 pm

MollyL

And she refers to him as her husband, not DH or hubby. I'm stunned I tell ya.

8:46 pm

rururocks

What me? Project? Heavens!!!!

8:48 pm

MollyL

Yes Ru, I'm sure you are the only man who prefers naughty women *cough*

8:48 pm

rururocks

Unique male!!

8:49 pm

jmcnrick

not naughty women. . . naughty wife. . . bug difference

8:49 pm

harpjane

We've only been married 12 years. I still get a kick out of it.

8:49 pm

rururocks

No...nowadays it is naughty women :D

8:53 pm

godthaab

What section of the wall was that picture taken?

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

yes you are right that was the section. . . a little less touristy but still close to beijing

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

my ??? were for ru but my internet is slow

8:54 pm

godthaab

Did you go down the slide?

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

no I took the lift up and down. . . i am a coward with heights and that was the best i could do and still see it

8:56 pm

godthaab

That chair lift is a bit rickety.....

8:57 pm

MollyL

I looked it up and learned my word for the day. Mutianyu.

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

haha i kept my face to the mountain side and didn't look. . .

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

the steps on the wall nearly killed my knees. . . but i have a cute picture of me on a slant. . .

8:58 pm

Trifioso

hello dear friends!

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

hi trif

8:58 pm

Trifioso

I am loving reading your mountain adventure posts, jmc...just got back from Colorado tonight, myself

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

my friend has hiked up the wall several times. . .she is intrepid (and 5 years younger)

8:59 pm

godthaab

I know - they are brutal. I turned right and went to the end. The steps were unbelievable.

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

did you meet up with cosdem?

8:59 pm

Trifioso

no, just valentine and I. No time for meet ups, had all sorts of family stuff to attend to.

8:59 pm

MollyL

Feeling high as a kite Trif? : D

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

i couldn't make it to the end but i had a lovely time sitting in a tower while my friend and her daughter did. . . i felt like a wimp but the stairs were brutal

9:00 pm

jmcnrick

family stuff is nice. . .

9:00 pm

Trifioso

hahaha molly, no. not really my thing. But DID get a kick out of passing all the dispensaries.

9:00 pm

Trifioso

some had really clever names..."Pipe's Peak" and the like

9:01 pm

MollyL

Dispensaries, isn't that what they used to call the drive thru liquor places?

9:02 pm

Trifioso

I am not sure. We call liquor stores "packies", short for package stores

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

i did manange to climb to the hanging temple. . . the stairs there were of a regular size and i had no trouble. . .

9:02 pm

Trifioso

I am so in admiration of your travels, jmc

9:03 pm

MollyL

Y'all have such cute lingo up Bahstun way.

9:04 pm

jmcnrick

when i was trying to figure out where the shuttle was to the hotel i ran into this chinese/canadian who said she thought i was brave traveling where i didn't know the language. . . but i have found a smile and pointing works most anywhere

9:04 pm

rururocks

I thought packies were parking spaces

9:04 pm

jmcnrick

i think i will swith photos. . .brb

9:05 pm

MollyL

Chinese/Canadian? How does that blend? Do they eat poutine on their noodles?

9:06 pm

MollyL

I've heard smiling and pointing works on 18th Street, JMC.

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

the same way chinsese/american works molls

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

you mean 14th street?

9:11 pm

MollyL

No, actually I meant 18th. Plenty of action in that area as well.

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

the hookers have moved on from there too. . .I think they are on 7th now

9:12 pm

MollyL

Darn it, I must keep up with such things.

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

if ru ever comes to visit we will have to verify this information. . . the gentrification is driving those poor women and men from pillar to post. . .

9:47 pm

Minveryork

Speaking of selfies,I am going to put my little selfie to bed now. Need to go back to work tomorrow with my allergies.

I am blind to 2 te 6 words too.

9:57 pm

jmcnrick

they are impossible words. . . te+pecan+vowel for both of them

9:57 pm

Bugsaw

I see that you are still in Beijing now. I was listening to a Chinese author who grew up in Beijing and she was talking about the event 25 years ago.

9:58 pm

Bugsaw

it was fascinating to hear how she got into trouble for talking about it with other Chinese people

9:58 pm

Bugsaw

I found the words, thanks!

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

yes. . . night before last i was at a party with someone who had been there up until June 3rd and then left before the uglyness

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

yw

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

I went there and took pictures. . .we were a little surprised there were no extra soldiers but apparantly they arrested people the day before who had a dinner party and talked about what to do on June 4. . .except one who left after the party to go to teach in australia. . . he has decided to come back and turn himself in in the hopes of making a deal of it. . .

10:01 pm

Bugsaw

She was in high school and her older sister was at medical school. There parents locked them in the house for a week starting on the 3rd but after that everyone had to give an account of where they were and what they had done during the months leading up to it. She said some people did not pass the test and did not doo well, not prison but no job for years

10:02 pm

jmcnrick

that makes me wa** to see the butler which i think among other things protrays the concerns of the parents of freedom riders

10:04 pm

Bugsaw

Their parents told the sister to say that she was at the square just to provide medical assistance to those who were hunger striking. the high school student said her teachers advised them what to say about being there.

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

i was never so tested. . . i wonder if i would have been as brave as my sisters. . . one a freedom rider and the other at antiwar protests surrounded by national guards men. . .

10:05 pm

jmcnrick

the person with whom i had dinner said it was casual and festive up to the 3rd when he left to go home to singapore . . .

10:06 pm

Bugsaw

Well done for your sisters, especially since you grew up in the south. Your parents must have been great people to raise such dedicated daughters

10:06 pm

jmcnrick

they had their good points. . . :-)

10:07 pm

the world is a very scarey place. i just dont understand why governments want such control.

10:08 pm

mkg

i guess i am a live and let live person.

10:08 pm

mkg

i hope china will become a nation where there are more and more freedoms. the potential is enormous.

10:08 pm

jmcnrick

that is a pretty good way to go along mkg. . . as it is here in china i cannot get on facebook twitter or youtube. . .

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

and google is iffy. . . if i ask the wrong question it never downloads. . .

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

even now fewer chinese know about teinamen square's 25th annivesary than people outside of china. . .

10:13 pm

Bugsaw

that is what this author said. She said that only people in Beijing knew what was going on so when she was in the army and told other women about it she was in trouble. Most of the picture

10:13 pm

o-o

Putin's gas deal with china will have consequences for the west ... the pollution from coal is killing people ... the US is past the tipping point. Fracking polluting water tables and increasing seismic activity. Our "leaders" work for the few at the expense of the many. Most people have no idea what policies even benefit them. There are sheep being lead to their demise.

10:14 pm

jmcnrick

haha glad the chinese are not cencoring babbleland!

10:17 pm

Bugsaw

She said most of the other women who heard her stories were unsettled by them. They did not want to have to turn against their own people

10:17 pm

o-o

The actual consequences of the yellow river diversion are yet to be known .... millions must move or learn to dog paddle forever

10:18 pm

Bugsaw

but it certainly started the opening up of the country and now when she visits Beijing it does not feel like her home town because of all the high rises etc.

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

that is the fallicy of course. . . standing up to the government is not the same as turning against your own people. . .

10:18 pm

o-o

The UN predicts another polluter, India, will have the world's largest population by 2050

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

at least the yellow river diversion cut back on the use of coal the real culprit. . .

10:20 pm

10:27 pm

o-o

the prisons are the home of the largest percentage of seriously mentally ill ... after the mental health institutions were shut down ... and states have learned educating prisoners reduces recidivism ... the law-abiding who seek assistance to get an education are budget items and the funding has been reduced.

10:30 pm
