1:47 am

Lizlin

That I can understand.

puglet

I always liked it there before

1:47 am

puglet

I worked there about 17 years ago for over 10 years

1:48 am

Lizlin

Are there other people you can talk to or doesn't the work make that easy.

1:48 am

rururocks

What kind of press?

1:48 am

puglet

a large punch press Ruru that you walk in

1:49 am

puglet

not while on the press Liz--too noisy--but when stripping out parts then we can talk

1:50 am

Lizlin

That's good - I'm happy there's a chance for you to talk to others.

1:50 am

puglet

1:57 am

puglet

rururocks

1:58 am

puglet

2:17 am

grannyrose

2:17 am

puglet

2:18 am

puglet

though my dad didnt get along, I always remember him and mom on those days

2:19 am

grannyrose

haven't thought about it. it's kind of hard when your head is screwed up with drugs, and discomfort. i'll talk to him, see what he wants to do.

2:19 am

puglet

I understand that Rose

2:21 am

puglet

do any of your boys pay him honor

2:21 am

grannyrose

yes, they do, or they used to do so. but now their dad is dead, i'm guessing their heads will be full of him.

2:22 am

puglet

it will make him feel good if someone remembers I would think

2:37 am

puglet

3:19 am

sprite

lol! I answered your question about the movie.

3:20 am

grannyrose

oh, did you want to hear more?

3:20 am

sprite

of course! Would love to.

3:21 am

grannyrose

it's a feel good movie, jackie weaver, robert de nero, jennifer lawrence and bradley cooper.

3:21 am

sprite

oh nice!

3:22 am

grannyrose

bradley cooper plays a young man with bipolar, just out of institution, living with parents, jackie and robert. he thinks he is still married to his wife, who has a restraining order against him.

3:22 am

sprite

aw :(

3:23 am

grannyrose

it's about him trying to come off meds, then realising he does need them. then he meets jennifer, and they enter a dance competition. some of the lines just cracked me up. all delivered perfectly.

3:24 am

sprite

sounds good, writing it town

3:24 am

sprite

down*

3:24 am

grannyrose

if you can find a copy, it is worth watching. not black humour at all.

3:24 am

Lizlin

Sorry. Back just to say bye. Alls very good sprite. Catch you both soon. Hugs

3:25 am

grannyrose

we thought it was weird, jackie playing robert's wife, but strangely enough it works.

3:25 am

sprite

3:26 am

grannyrose

3:30 am

grannyrose

that netherlands goallie is amazing. she actually fended off the puck with her foot.

3:30 am

sprite

sounds like a dutchie :)

3:32 am

grannyrose

in our match one girl scored a goal between the opposition's goallie's legs. it was an amazing shot. this level of hockey interests me...they are so skilled, no matter which country they are from.

3:33 am

sprite

I never watch sports. It just bores me to death.

3:35 am

grannyrose

well i'm a bitser, i like a bitser of this, a bitser of th4. but it all must be top quality, or like you, i am bored, bored, bored.

3:35 am

sprite

:) You are a lovely bitser.

3:36 am

grannyrose

EXCEPT....... when it's a bunch of under 8 year olds racing around an oval, trying to grab a slippery ball. then i laugh and laugh.

3:37 am

sprite

I might like that, if one of them was my grandson

3:38 am

grannyrose

rubyfoo

I read over the chog and I LOVED that movie!

4:01 am

grannyrose

ahhh, {{hugs}} it was very good.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

what's funny here is that although the movie may be in English with French subtitles, they translate (usually badly) the title, so I never know the real name

4:06 am

grannyrose

good. a 21 year old burglar who bludgeoned a baby of a few months to death for disturbing him during the burglary has been sentenced to unparoled 32 years.

4:07 am

rubyfoo

2:17 pm

MimiCat

Hello, everyone! I'll dance with 'ya, Jilly!

2:18 pm

Jillyjill

*joins hands with mimi*

2:18 pm

Jillyjill

Of course, being Friday the 13th and full moon, perchance we should be on broomsticks!

2:19 pm

MimiCat

Fri. 13th has always been a lucky day for me. My first child was born on Fri. 13th the day before Valentine's..I always called him my lucky little valentine.

2:20 pm

MimiCat

Of course....his father (my ex) was also born on a 13...

2:20 pm

sukee

This is the only Friday the 13th this year, and there is a full moon, and there are solar flares

2:20 pm

crosshair

Friday the 13th has always been lucky for me as well:)

2:20 pm

MollyL

Mimi! I have a son who was born on Friday the 13th too. I always consider it a lucky day.

2:20 pm

MimiCat

((crossy)) We're so in sync it's downright scary!!

2:21 pm

MimiCat

How nice of the sun to celebrate by sending up flares!

2:22 pm

MimiCat

See, Molly...it's all what you make of it, right?

2:22 pm

sukee

Can I please have a clue for ca 6/21?

2:22 pm

Jillyjill

Had a really difficult time with our first procedure today, but all turned out well. Friday the 13th lucky here as well for my hubby, born on a Friday the 13th..lucky to be married to hi

2:22 pm

MollyL

Yes indeed it is.

2:23 pm

sukee

The last one

2:23 pm

MimiCat

The doc I transcribe is on vacation so now work for me until next Thurs. I have projects galore to attend to!

2:23 pm

sukee

NM, found it

2:23 pm

Jillyjill

And next time a Friday the 13th occurs on a full moon is in 2049! Not sure I'll be around for that one!

2:24 pm

MimiCat

But the lady I work for made me really angry yesterday and I had to just push it down, as usual, for fear of being fired....HATE THAT!!

2:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. and me with a bad foot. no dancing wildly tonight.

2:25 pm

MollyL

TO, I will moon dance in your stead.

2:25 pm

MimiCat

I did send an em reply to her and she EDITED MY RESPONSE telling me I should have made it shorter and used different language....how rude and pretentious!

2:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

:)

2:25 pm

MimiCat

Dance wildly in your head, TO...works for me!

2:26 pm

MollyL

*Pours Mimi a drink* Here's to the rude and pretentious!

2:26 pm

MimiCat

So how many of us will be playing that Van Morrison song tonight?!!

2:26 pm

Jillyjill

I know what your'fe feeling mimi....I applied for a position in Recovery Room, more hours, less stress than endo, my boss told me she didn't know about me changing as she needs me in Endo...ya, you mean all the times she has questioned my hours!!??

2:26 pm

MimiCat

*accepting drink*

2:27 pm

sukee

How about a clue for ha 5/12 the first then?

2:27 pm

MollyL

I won't be playing Van Morrison. One of my friend's bands plays that song so much that I am beyond sick of it.

2:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

i will be seeing the pine leaf boys tonight.

2:28 pm

MimiCat

It surprises me that mine is so defensive and doesn't ever offer praise since she has done this work for quite some time. She just cannot accept any challenge to her, whether real or perceived.

2:28 pm

MimiCat

Oh, but Molly, no one can play it like Van!!

2:28 pm

sukee

IS today no clue day? I was ignored earier too

2:29 pm

Jillyjill

sorry sukee...I'm doing grid...will look

2:29 pm

sukee

Fine.

2:29 pm

MimiCat

Sorry, sukee...maybe no one has those? I just started, so I have nothing.

2:30 pm

2:31 pm

crosshair

2:32 pm

MollyL

When you ask for a clue, and don't get a response, it is not about being ignored. People may not have that word yet, or people who "seem like they are around" may be busy with other things.

2:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

or not listed

2:33 pm

MimiCat

Going to get some lunch and then start a project...love being able to putter around my home. See 'ya later and hugs all around.

2:34 pm

crosshair

Jillyjill

3:16 pm

crosshair

huge?? my god! I can almost batter them and fry them up for a shore lunch!

3:17 pm

crosshair

take a whistle, jilly. Just keep it on a lanyard around your neck. has tons of uses and one of them is to help with bear issues

3:18 pm

crosshair

and about 50 ft of paracord, to string the food up in a tree to avoid attracting the bruins overnight:)

3:19 pm

crosshair

our local black and brown bears hate loud noises. I have seen it make them wince and go off in another direction;)

3:19 pm

crosshair

I would love to see a B.C ghost bear:)

3:20 pm

crosshair

but that is on bucket list

3:26 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, my hiking stick has built in whistle...and we'll have our son...noisy one...so all is good.

5:57 pm

speedfreak

thank you got them

5:59 pm

Soodle

Another minor miracle! A Soodleclue that was uderstood. Yay!

5:59 pm

MollyL

Have not watched The Tudors.

6:00 pm

MollyL

Have you watched "24"?

6:04 pm

Soodle

Do yourself a favour, Molly, seriously. ... Watch it. Don't worry about following the storyline (you know it already). Just sit back & wallow in the beauty of Jonathon Rhys Myres, Henry Cavill the beautiful women etc. it's a Middle-Ages Downton Abbey that stays good till the end!

6:05 pm

Soodle

No. I haven't watched 24. Should i ?

6:07 pm

MollyL

Yes. Jack Bauer (Keifer Sutherland) is the most bad badass there is in a series that will keep your head spinning through all 8 seasons.

6:09 pm

MollyL

I don't watch TV shows based on how much I will drool over the lead character. I am more interested in a good continuing story that is well written.

6:10 pm

6:22 pm

rururocks

whew.. I thought Soodle said Lesbian

6:23 pm

MollyL

I don't mind the drool factor if the story in question is worth watching. But as far as what I like to watch, it's more about good writing.

6:23 pm

Soodle

You were lovin' it, Ru, & don't deny it!!

6:23 pm

So the pups got into some of my son's sugarfree gum, and went to the doggie hospital overnight to get their blood sugars back up - fortunately they seem none the worse for wear, although I can't say the same for my bank account

how much gum did they eat?

Yoiks. An expensive lesson, Sue. Are the doggies ok now?

well, we really don't know, all he found was the chewed-up outer wrapper, could be several pieces

6:46 pm

uusue2

my guess is the little one got into the wrapper in the first place - he likes to chew stuff up although he doesn't actually ingest much, and then the big one took over and ate the rest.

6:46 pm

anyway they seem to be fine, had some more blood tests today which we should get the results of tomorrow, but they are their usual perky selves

7:15 pm

crosshair

howdy, stidmama:)

7:15 pm

stidmama

cross, I just "fixed" the water heater that had the air intake all clogged up... I would say the problem with gravity is that it works most on the little hard-to-see screws that are integral for putting things in the right places... and it seems to have a knack for drawing them into the dark corners...

7:15 pm

stidmama

LOL on quote

7:16 pm

we actually stayed fairly close to budget, using most of the money from the "contents coverage" on the upgrades and deciding to use the furniture we had put in the storage locker (as too old/stained) and the few pieces we bought for the apartment... and the few large wooden heirloom-type items that we had cleaned after the fire (they still smell and look bad, but some steel wool, primer and paint will fix that this summer).

I used to often hit the re-use centres around here years ago, and several of our finer wooden pieces in the apt are things that were buried under 10 coats of ugly lead-based paind. have one that is solid oak and a small end table made of walnut!

7:29 pm

stidmama

yes, my grandmother's dresser is only sooty (they "cleaned" it supposedly, but I have to get the actual soot off myself it seems); the hutch and sideboard bases were mostly unscathed, but the tops were scorched so we are using the bases now and I will refinish the tops later. The bookcases my dad built were salvageable and mean a lot to me. So happy to still have most of them. :-) And my grandmother's table got scratched but was otherwise so covered with "materials" (my secret plan for furniture preservation) that it survived just fine... I recommend not having unfinished furniture, or pieces with lots of plastic bits. Those were not salvageable.

7:33 pm

tc stidmere

7:35 pm

stidmama

I wouldn't paint the tops of the sideboard and hutch (they were a lovely honey-maple finish) but the scorching is deep enough that if I don't paint I have to scrap things down too far. The bases retained their finished pretty well so I will keep them pretty much the same. I love wood -- it's an amazing material, and only paint it if it's something like pine or basswood that is too soft to survive real use.

7:35 pm

crosshair

going down to 5c tonight. summer is taking its sweet time around here:(

7:36 pm

crosshair

yes, if the scars are too deep, then there is no choice in the matter

7:40 pm

crosshair

if the scarring is on top or the side or another flat surface, and you have the patience of the gods, AND if the damage is in the right places, you can set a router to half the depth of the wood, remove the damaged section and do a wood inlay:) I did that once as a hobby, but no longer have the patience for it

7:40 pm

stidmama

that seems a bit chilly, even for you northerners, cross! It was cool here last night (for June) -- I think around 13. Inside, it is keeping to about 16 easily. Which I have discovered (this morning, when it was raining so hard and very gloomy) feels much colder when there is high humidity. So glad we added the gas fireplace for drying things out!

oh, I don't have the time or patience or skill to work on antique furniture in that way... I'd rather just paint it, and use it and know that my ancestresses will be pleased that I still remember them AND that I am thrifty enough to find inexpensive ways to keep things around.

7:42 pm

crosshair

yes, it is satisfying in saving good, solid old furniture

7:42 pm

stidmama

We haven't had a fireplace before in our married life together, so it was a little gift to ourselves. It's a nice one, though not big enough to heat the whole house, if the radiant heat ever fails this can heat the front part of the house with ease.

7:43 pm

natural gas? propane?

7:43 pm

stidmama

and hello wht! :-D

7:43 pm

stidmama

propane, we live too far out for a natural gas line. Just got filled today in fact. Kept it under $600, which was nice.

7:44 pm

crosshair

I like propane vs nat gas. There is something reassuring about being totally self-contained with gas for heat and the kitchen stove.

7:44 pm

stidmama

they come every three months, and we have never (I think) had it need more than 200 gallons (500 gallon tank)

7:44 pm

crosshair

yes, they can only fill to 80%

7:45 pm

i can still remember all to old formulae. C3H8 the air gas ratio is about 9:2.1`

7:47 pm

crosshair

each cubic cm of gas expands to 240 times its volume on contact with air and it freezes(gels) at minus 40f

7:47 pm

stidmama

now we just need to get the generator properly tuned (after a year in stasis I am not sure it would even "crank" over) and installed and we will be ready for almost anything

7:47 pm

7:48 pm

we'll NEVER get to -48! too much water around here that moderates the climate -- not that I am complaining...

7:48 pm

stidmama

no, propane. Pretty old Honda, could run almost the whole house before, and probably WILL do this house (except the washer and dryer) because our heating no longer has the furnace with a blower.

7:49 pm

if it has been sitting a year and is gasoline, remove the plugs and pout 2 tbs of thin 5w30 motor oil on top of the cylinder heads and let it sit a week

7:49 pm

ahh a propane generator. do not see those too often

7:49 pm
