it is a 12 foot Davidson, not sure if it's a sailing dingy or not but I plan to row and motor (2hp) around the Inlet all summer
12:56 am

It was a gist
12:57 am
rururocks
nice.. sounds peaceful and useful
12:57 am
rururocks
figured that saanich
12:57 am
rururocks
nice gift
12:59 am
saanichcat
It was given to me by my best friends (she died) husband in memory of all the happy times we had here. Saanich Inlet is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It is a small (400( community and we even have our own fire dept.
1:00 am
rururocks
how nice
1:01 am
saanichcat
I haven't named her yet
1:01 am
rururocks
400 people. I lived in a town of under 500 people.. I felt like everyone knew my business
1:01 am
rururocks
we should have a contest her to name her
1:01 am
saanichcat
that is the horrible part of a tight-knit community.
1:01 am
rururocks
yes. it is
1:02 am
rururocks
you sneeze on one end of town and everyone knows you have a cold
1:03 am

I probably will call her "Thistle ll" as my first one was Thistle
1:04 am
rururocks
what was your friend's name? first name
1:04 am

I even had a guy ask if I had changed jobs because he used my loud truck as an alarm and all I had done was change hours

hi, everyone. Ru, you're an honorary Aussie today? No longer Greek?
1:07 am

my last post got blown up by the red boxes. and ru, I also thought of using her name
1:07 am
rururocks
today I'm a new zealander
1:08 am
rururocks
that'd be a nice way to remember her saanich
1:08 am
rururocks
I filed for my passport today :D
1:08 am

there are a number of private reasons why I decided not to
1:09 am
dofith
oops! Sorry, NZ - I didn't look closely enough!
1:09 am
rururocks
oh.. well skip that idea then
1:09 am
saanichcat
it was a good one though
1:10 am
rururocks
I have to name my car then I guess
1:11 am
dofith
Another good reason to change the flag. You Canadians managed to do it without disrespecting all those soldiers of the past who apparently "died for the flag".
1:11 am
saanichcat
and christen the tires with your favourite wine as a good kuck charm the car will keep you safe
1:12 am
rururocks
I love New Zealand Dof.. can't wait to visit there this next year
1:12 am

my favorite wine costs more than the car :D

Too hot and flat and dry here. Your cool weather, snow and mountains (in the west, at least) appeal to me.

1:17 am

we started in Cairsns and plane-hopped islands and towns down the coast. They offred spaghetti sandwiches for breakfast! But the food was fabulous, My ex was a wine writer and we got the special treatment at all the winneries. Met Max Lake

One of my sons lives up north in a mining town (iron ore) - one day when we visit him we'll drive on to Broome.

My sister and family lived in Vancouver for a couple of years, and absolutely loved it. She'd go back in a heart beat.
1:20 am

I think the Vancouver island area is one of the most beautiful places on earth
1:21 am

Vancouver is a ferry ride away from my place
1:21 am

I agree, saan. My man will retire soon, and we'll be ready for some long trips. Where in Canada are you?

1:26 am
dofith
You've won me! Plan - we fly to nth west USA, hire car, drive down to about Georgia, across sth east US to New Orleans, up the middle and west to Colorado, across to west coast, up west coast to Canada and then to your house!
1:26 am
dofith
I'm in Perth
1:27 am
dofith
When we get to your house, I'll lose our passports and will just have to stay in Canada!
1:27 am

what an amazing trip! Would it be a year or more?
1:28 am
dofith
And we have a little beach house further south which is where I am today - it's themiddle of winter and we went walking at the beach this morning!
1:28 am
saanichcat
I thought Australia allowed dual passports, but maybe that was a long time ago
1:29 am
saanichcat
Beach House??? This is getting bettter! I live across the lane from a beach
1:30 am
dofith
Onl if you have the right to citizenship in another country e.g., many friends with an English parent have dual passports. One of my daughter's in law has 3!
1:30 am
saanichcat
thanks for clarifying that
1:31 am
rururocks
finally have all the t's

It has got her into trouble. When they lived in the UAE, she'd entered with her Aussie passport; while we visited, we travelled to Oman and she took her British passport because her Aussie one was away getting her work visa rnewed. They wouldn't let her out because according to the passport, she hadn't entered! It was a mess!
1:32 am
saanichcat
and I am going back to the puzzle! Dof we need to figure a way to keep in touch
1:33 am
dofith
I will remind you of our pact, saan - leave it to me!
1:33 am
saanichcat
good! I will for sure

all good. have taken it quietly today....but...my BP is not good. gp wants a few readings...this morning's before meds was 213/101. i think we have a problem houston...
2:56 am
sprite
we sure do, rose. That is very much NOT good. But you already know that. *hugs*
Looks like you are asking too much of your body...
2:56 am
grannyrose
and you darling sprite...how was last night?
2:56 am
grannyrose
and peach, how are you, today, hun?
2:57 am
sprite
pretty ok, rose. Not too much bad dreams and quite a few hours of good sleep :)
2:57 am
grannyrose
oh, nice, darling. they are long over-due...
2:58 am
sprite
oh, and I did the cooking yesterday, made a soup and an oven dish with homemade sauce, and they LOVED it.
2:58 am
gapeach
Doing ok, so far, Rose. Have had vertigo and a uti that has had me down since Memorial Day.
2:59 am
sprite
doesn't sound good, peach :( What is an uti?
2:59 am
grannyrose
of course they did, sprite. you are the best cook.
2:59 am
grannyrose
peach, you are on antibiotics, yes??
3:00 am
sprite
lol rose, thanks for the support :) Well, not the best, but I can do simple stuff.
3:01 am
gapeach
Urinary tract infection. The antibiotic they gave me was one that I am alergic to and didn't know it. Broke out in a horrible rash on the lower part of my body. Better now, still on Prednisone.
3:01 am
sprite
oh dear. Am glad things are a little better now, peach. *hug* Such unpleasantness.
3:02 am
sprite
sidenote: so close to coitus. How frustrating.
3:02 am
grannyrose
ugh, peach...naughty peeps to prescribe you the wrong meds. you poor darling. are you on sachets to alkanise your urine? as well? and do you have the correct an5 now?
3:02 am
gapeach
Thanks much, Sprite. Please keep me in your prayers.
3:03 am
sprite
I will, peach.
3:05 am
gapeach
I think so, Rose. It has been very unpleasant. I literally could not get out of bed with the vertigo. Had to have someone come and sit me up and then the vomiting started.....friend called ambulance and spent about 4 hours in ER.
3:06 am
sprite
that is very bad vertigo. Poor peach! And yay for good friends.
3:06 am
gapeach
Amen to that, sprite.
3:07 am
grannyrose
awww peach...not the best day of your life, i am sure. and now?? how do you feel now?
3:08 am
gapeach
I am just now getting some strength back. I don't get that sick often. Thankfully.
3:10 am

such things take so much out of you. I hope you will take your time getting back to your old strength.

3:13 am

3:14 am
grannyrose
nope hun. i am hoping it means she is having a sleep in
3:15 am
sprite
yeah that would be great
3:16 am
grannyrose
btw, our canary...he has been decidedly disgruntled the last few days. sitting on the bottom of his cage, feathers all fluffed out. i twigged he was cold, and put his cage cover 3/4's of the way over him.
3:17 am
sprite
oh good for you! And did he like that?
3:17 am
grannyrose
don went one step further...and has turned the heater on, at the other end of the house, to warm the whole house....for a bird!!
3:17 am
sprite
roflolololllll oh god that man is priceless
3:17 am
grannyrose
lol, bird is happy...
3:18 am
grannyrose
sprite, he is amazing....i mean don, of course.
3:19 am

3:19 am
grannyrose
i hope pus is okay. just realised how late it is for her.
3:20 am
grannyrose
ughhh...*pugs*
3:20 am
sprite
yeah, for her, it is late. But for normal sleep it is still early. So maybe she is having a real good night of sleep.
3:20 am
grannyrose
praying it so, sprite. it would be wonderful, right?
3:21 am
sprite
sure would
3:22 am
grannyrose
i keep praying she will get into a "normal" routine. perhaps the combo of working and the meds will get er there.
3:22 am
sprite
that would be awesome. She really needs something like that.
3:22 am
grannyrose
*sigh* her...
3:23 am
grannyrose
i really need to cut the finger nails...i think i have typed a letter, and i haven't done so...uuughh!
3:24 am
sprite
but that is a very good sign on you, rose :)
3:25 am
grannyrose
*giggle* yes sprite. teeth not connecting with fingernails.
3:25 am
sprite
very good. That means that the stress you are under now is purely physical. Not good either, but more manageable.

I always make sure I have philips screw heads & flat head screwdrivers.
3:46 am
sprite
is that what they are called in english? The cross ones? Philips screwdrivers?
3:46 am
grannyrose
ditto crossy. i know. it is a strange statement from a female...but it is true, mate
3:47 am
sprite
same for me. I even have my own sets. Because my husband puts his away in different places all the time.
3:47 am
zoozzoom
Yeah for some reason..probably because the guy who invented them was named philip..I am not sure though.
3:47 am
grannyrose
i/we have a set of small phillip's and straight screw driver bits.
3:47 am
sprite
ok, will try and remember that. In dutch they are called, literally translated, crosshead screwdrivers. "kruiskopschroevedraaiers"
3:48 am
zoozzoom
I too have a couple of sets..you can never have too many. I must admit I do leave mine all over the place.
3:48 am
grannyrose
okay, spritey..i will remember that...too
3:48 am
sprite
mine are always in the same spot, so I can grab them without having to search for them.
3:49 am
zoozzoom
Wow that is a mouthful, Spritey, but crosshead is used just as often too here.
3:49 am
sprite
some word to remember, huh rose :D
3:49 am
sprite
ah, that is good to know, thanks zooz
3:50 am
grannyrose
zooz, sprite, did you know one of the first presents don bought me....was a set of my own to4s.
3:50 am
zoozzoom
LOL really?
3:50 am
sprite
oh that is awesome, rose! I bet you knew he was a keeper straight away :)
3:51 am
grannyrose
this was before i introduced him to the concept of NO yours and mine. lol
3:51 am
grannyrose
lol, really, zooz
3:52 am
sprite
I like having my own set. At least I can find them when I need them, lol.
3:53 am
grannyrose
yes, i know, sprite. but it is also a good principal to learn that WE share.
3:54 am
zoozzoom
Medical question...I have an itchy scalp have had it for years now..I had been given nizoral from the doctors which does not do anything..I have tried itchy scalp head & shoulders shampoo and many many ohters but noe work..Any ideas what I could try?
3:54 am
zoozzoom
Sorry doctor said I have eczema of the scalp.
3:55 am
sprite
lol yes, true, rose. My love and I have this running gag. In dutch law, when you are married, everything you buy (like a house) is yours 'for the undivided halve'. So we always use that phrase, even for a simple apple.
3:55 am
sprite
ouch, eczema, that is not easy to treat
3:55 am
grannyrose
zooz, sounds to me like eczema. ask your doctor for a liquid cortisone solution which you can use.
3:56 am
zoozzoom
That is the only place I get eczema thank goodness..but when I am on a bus it sometimes looks like I have head lice or fleas..lol
3:56 am
zoozzoom
That is what Nizoral is I think, Rose.
3:57 am
grannyrose
oh, dear...am i right again??
3:57 am
sprite
don't wear any hats or such, be outdoors and in the sun often, try to lower the stress levels (yeah right).
3:57 am
zoozzoom
LOL yeah right is ..er right, Sprite..I do try but as you know not easy..lol...I do not wear hats though and I do like being outside as often as I can.
3:58 am
sprite
and don't wash your hair too often. Especially with heavy duty stuff like head & shoulders, it will make things worse in stead of better.
3:58 am
zoozzoom
You are always right, ((Rose))
3:58 am
sprite
baby oil for the crusty spots and baby shampoo are recommended.
3:58 am
grannyrose
hmm, sounds like you need a moisturiser. what do you think, sprite?
3:59 am
zoozzoom
Ahh I do wash my hair every other day as I can not stand the thought of being un-clean..have a thing about personal hygiene.
3:59 am
sprite
*grin* see below for what I think*
3:59 am
sprite
in that case, use baby shampoo, zooz.
3:59 am
zoozzoom
Baby shampoo could a great idea!.
4:00 am
zoozzoom
Many thanks for your suggestions :-)

grannyrose
noooo, zooz...johnson's are not the answer, mate.
4:03 am
zoozzoom
But that is a baby shampoo?
4:03 am
sprite
the gentlest baby shampoo you can find. Like Zwitsal (do you have that overthere?)
4:03 am
zoozzoom
Not heard of it, Sprite?
4:04 am
zoozzoom
will google it to see.
4:05 am
grannyrose
yes, mate...i would rather you try a gentle soap.....like velvet...
4:05 am
grannyrose
velvet s a pure soap...
4:06 am
grannyrose
* is *
4:06 am
zoozzoom
I can get hold of Dove products which have a neutral PH balance and they do shampoo too?
4:06 am
zoozzoom
No, Sprite, it looks like it is just where you are :-(
4:06 am
grannyrose
hmmm, not sure, zooz.
4:06 am
sprite
velvet would be ok
4:07 am
zoozzoom
I will ask the chemists what they suggest to use..OK will look up velvet.
4:09 am
sprite
you could try Eucerin shampoo as well
4:09 am
zoozzoom
Geez looks like I can not get velvet either..this country is crap.
4:10 am
zoozzoom
OK searching.

I hadn't been into it for a while but for some reason this year i decided would be a baseball watching year :)
6:58 am
crosshair
yup. As with me, the viewing desire ebbs and flows with the years. I watched American football for the entire season once. I only did it because i was rooting for the underdog team that year, and wished to see how far they would get.
6:58 am
sukee
Probably because one of the people I meet for coffee regularly is a Boston fan and talks about baseball a lot.
7:00 am

this year I could care less. My mind is generally full with class assignments and if i can do an hour of idle reading for pleasure and some babble, I count myself fortunate
7:01 am

there were lots of wind combines in china i was happy to see. . . and a solar farm
9:06 am

How much does it cost to outfit your house with solar panels
9:07 am
crosshair
mm seems most of our old coal stations are closed and being converted to biomass
9:08 am
crosshair
so, nope. no coal thank god
9:08 am

I was pleasantly surprised to read at the supermarket that their waste produce was sent for compositng
9:08 am
jmcnrick
with credits and thinks it was about $15,000 i think. . . but my electric bill was immediately cut in half and more. . .
9:08 am
jmcnrick
sometimes i get money for providing electricity to the grid
9:08 am
bichon
What about in winter when there is less sun
9:09 am
crosshair
for those who care, here is a list of our power generating stations: http://tinyurl.com/kl8r4p9
9:09 am
jmcnrick
so it definately cost money but i figure in about 10 years it will have more than have paid for itself
9:09 am
MLFAN17
last ti 5 clue please?
9:09 am
MLFAN17
i have the crown ti5
9:10 am
jmcnrick
it produces less energy when it is cloudy but there are enough sunny days and partly sunny days that i am usually making money without lifting a finger. . .
9:10 am
crosshair
here, a good solar setup to storage cells will pay off in ten years, with the panels themselves lasting 15 with 80% generating capacity remaining in the last 5 years
9:11 am
jmcnrick
these are about the same. . . and 20 years from now the technology will be better
9:11 am
helensgirlkid
A lot of generating stations are switching from coal to natural gas - not a discernible difference as far as carbon goes. Especially since our coal is basically non-sulphur.
9:12 am
crosshair
yes, the panels are getting better as time goes on
9:12 am
helensgirlkid
Time to phone my son for a chat - good babbling, all.
9:13 am
MLFAN17
bye helen
9:13 am
jmcnrick
i don't think that is true helen. . .gas is definately cleaner than coal but not nearly as clean as solar. . .and nothing is as clean as not using energy!
9:13 am
crosshair
now is actually a good time to convert because when the current panels reach ten years of age, we will be into the cutting edge of solar panel development
9:13 am
jmcnrick
bye helen

the use peak generating solar times to load gravity cisterns for water usage. it is very interesting
9:15 am
jmcnrick
since i have no A/C except a couple of small un*** for my guests that i never use I have a very light footprint.
9:16 am
jmcnrick
okay off to earn a living (sorta) bbl. . . 183 left
9:17 am
crosshair
this of course is best in open concept home with vaulted ceiling because if you wish a 4- season set-up, the gravity cistern must be within the home or it will freeze
9:17 am
crosshair
yes, mlf?
9:17 am

are you staying or going?

i am here for a bit

9:27 am

mm, have not heard of that one. shall have to look it up
9:29 am
crosshair
I have Liam Neeson's movie Non-Stop on my list. The movie got mediocre reviews but i like the actor a lot
9:29 am
Anniebrook
It's a take on Sleeping Beauty but from the witches side...like the Bway play, Wicked which told the story of the wicked witches side in theWizard of Oz.
9:30 am
Anniebrook
not a word, suz
9:31 am
Anniebrook
It's a 12:20 movie and we are going for breakfast first so I better get a move on, bye
9:33 am
crosshair
I use to love the saturday afternoon matinee's
9:35 am
crosshair
now, for me it is too loud with the volume in the theatre, the seats are son uncomfortable i almost need a doctor to get out of them after 2 hours and everyone is talking on cell phone with not a care for those who are actually trying to watch the movie:(
9:36 am
crosshair
last one we saw in theatre was Life of Pi and for half the movie, three women behind us were prattling on about how they could not undersand the lead character.
9:38 am
crosshair
now, I wait for it to come out on dvd, blue-ray or Netflix and watch it in my own comfy cinema:)
9:39 am
MollyL
I agree about movie theaters. If it's not people and their cell phones, it's people talking non-stop.
9:40 am
crosshair
agreed.they will not shut up. it is incredible that they will pay $15.00 for a ticket and yak through the entire movie
9:41 am
crosshair
worse is that i can hear them clearly even though the sound system in the theatre is destroying my hearing at 120DB
9:42 am
crosshair
When you can FEEL the sound, it is too much
9:43 am
MollyL
I don't understand the ridiculous volume in movie theaters. Did everyone suddenly go deaf?
9:44 am
crosshair
lol, it is not just me then:)
9:45 am
crosshair
modern theatres should have headphone jacks for each seat. then we can hear it at our own comfort level if we desire and not have to listen to the yakkers or cell phones unless we wish to
9:45 am
MLFAN17
i agree i went to see a movie once it had the surround sound etc it was too loud for me so i waited for hubby in the lobby of the theater. I usualy have to sit with one ear close at theaters. Now with my ears the way they are it varies(though i havent been to a movie theater in a while)
9:45 am
crosshair
nevermind that. bluetooth head sets are widely available and would be perfect for that application
9:46 am
MLFAN17
cross but headphones can mess up your hearing just as easily regardless of noise level
9:47 am
crosshair
no, they would be adjustable as to volume i would hope
9:47 am
MollyL
I'm imagining a theater full of people wearing 3D glasses and blue tooths, looking weirder than the aliens on the screen.
9:47 am
crosshair
set it at your own comfort level with volume
9:47 am
crosshair
sadly, my eyes cannot register 3-d within movies;)
9:47 am
MLFAN17
if they added some of that stuff though i would imagine the price of tickets would be more then it is now
9:48 am
crosshair
so Life of Pi was a letdown for me in more ways then one
9:48 am
MollyL
I tried 3D glasses when we went to see Avatar. They gave me a headache. I took them off.
9:48 am
MLFAN17
okay i give up what are the stats for the last ti4?
9:50 am
crosshair
last year, when i was fitted with my very first pair of rx glasses the optometrist told me that my eyes had a condition where they operate fully independantly of each other. there is no harm in this , but it makes watching 3-d movies pointless
9:52 am
MollyL
Cool. Can you look in different directions with each eye? : D
9:52 am
crosshair
not wuite like a lizaed. it is hard to explain
9:52 am
hego
Weird, Crossy!
9:52 am
MollyL
Great peripheral vision. No one will be sneaking up on you.
9:53 am
crosshair
yes, i can look far out on either side but less so towards the sentre
9:53 am
crosshair
nobody sneaks up from the left or right on me:)
9:53 am
hego
Like a chameleon.
9:54 am
hego
Or however you spell it. lol
9:54 am
crosshair
not to that extreme, but yes, that is the idea
9:54 am
MLFAN17
phew got the last t word on first column and that letter is greyed
9:54 am
crosshair
for example, i can aim through a gun scope with oney eye, and with the other i can see you sitting directly to my left with the other eye
9:55 am
MLFAN17
i can make my eyes go out of focus
9:55 am
crosshair
i can do that as well
9:56 am
crosshair
and i can unfocus just one eye if using a scope, so i do not close the eye that is not aiming, i just unfocus it
9:56 am
MLFAN17
i have no idea how or why and its strange i have met a lot of people with my same disability who can also do it. I know you are not cross but it was pretty shocking that i had heard others liek me can and now to meet someone ese who can in general is so cool
9:56 am
crosshair
it is cool:)
9:57 am
crosshair
i consider it an asset, not a disability. it has stood me in good stead in many situations
9:57 am
crosshair
other than 3-d movies that is
9:58 am
MLFAN17
yeah i love doing it at times because i dont have to focus on what a person is saying or the expression on their faces under certain circumstances
9:58 am
crosshair
i can spot wildlife in a natural setting easier, i can aim a gun more accuratly and you stand less of a chance sneaking up on me
9:59 am
crosshair
it is a sublte thing. Have not though on it in a while. It just is. I imagine i would miss it horribly if i no longer had the skill
10:00 am
crosshair
thought
10:00 am
MLFAN17
it doesnt come as easily to me as it used to i guess i am losing the skill to do it to an extent
10:02 am
MLFAN17
is the st 7 a compound word?
10:03 am
crosshair
It is a lot like trying to explain to a person how you can wiggle your ears. Some can do it, many cannot.
10:03 am
MLFAN17
i can wiggle my ears
10:03 am
crosshair
well,yes, sort of
10:03 am
crosshair
i cannot wiggle my ears:(
10:03 am

10:04 am

I cannot do any neat tricks.
10:05 am
MLFAN17
aww well hego i know a lot of people who can juggle, whistle and blow bubbles with gum i cant do any of those things. i can whistle just not that good at it
10:06 am
hego
<--still working on walking and chewing gum at the same time.
10:06 am
MLFAN17
i dont know how i learned to make my eyes go out of focus but i think it came because i was listening to someone speak and i didnt want to look at them so thats what i wanted to
10:06 am
MLFAN17
hego then change your chewing gum:)
10:06 am
hego
lol. good idea!
10:07 am
MLFAN17
i used to chew gum not bubble gum but its been sticking to my back teeth and my jaw cracks so i dont do it anymore
10:08 am
MLFAN17
i am not real disappointed that i cant make a bubble with bubble gum as it makes me sick to my stomach anyway
10:08 am
hego
It gives me a headache to chew gum.
10:08 am
MLFAN17
are you concentrating to much on it hego?:)

do any of you have a friend or family member who always shows up around a meal time?
10:39 am

No, thank God.
10:39 am

also said person never offers to pay for food if it is take out. whether at their house or ours
10:39 am
crosshair
never. they would not dare without calling beforehand
10:39 am
periwinkle
I find it most annoying
10:40 am

People who show up without calling first are rude.
10:40 am

In the past
10:40 am

we knew they were coming.
10:40 am
MLFAN17
peri that is as much fun as when phone soliciters call around dinner time as well
10:40 am
periwinkle
and food was ordered and I am positive they did not offer to pay
10:40 am
MLFAN17
i agree molly
10:40 am

but if it is chronic, ask them for $50 a month to help pay for groceries
10:40 am

Which is why all my calls go to voice mail.
10:40 am

10:46 am

I wish, Crossy! My car was vandalized yesterday--window smashed and backpack (with purse) stolen at parking lot of a park. Same for my friend's car.
10:46 am

Trying to get mom home and her car was broken into.
10:46 am
crosshair
oh no! that is not good
10:46 am
crosshair
so, theives were casing an entire parking lot i take it:((
10:47 am
MLFAN17
scrab that is not good. did you put a stop to any credit cards etc that you or your friend has?
10:47 am
Scrabbler
Driver license, 2 credit cards, bank card, AAA card, health insurance card, ...lots to replace. $50 is least of my worries.
10:47 am
crosshair
yes, the cash is the least of the problem when a purse or wallet is stolen
10:48 am
MLFAN17
i had my purse stolen once big pain to get all that stuff stopped
10:48 am
MLFAN17
and replaces
10:48 am
Scrabbler
We spent the afternoon making phone calls and none of our cards showed activity. My hope is that the thief wanted cash for a drug purchase and tossed our bags away. Then I hope an honest person finds our bags.
10:48 am
MLFAN17
replaced
10:48 am
hego
Such a pain!
10:49 am
crosshair
yes, hope that is all they wanted, just the cash
10:49 am
Scrabbler
I feel so violated--someone took MY stuff.
10:49 am
MLFAN17
i agree with that its hard to shake scrabbler
10:49 am
hego
It makes you feel vulnerable too.
10:49 am

The broken window will be replaced Monday morning. I have a new model car so the window was ordered.

But of course! Thank you!!
10:50 am

So no driving til then, but I have no money and no credit cards.
10:51 am

I am the same scrabby. I like keeping a "go" backpack in the jeep for when i get a sudden whim to go for a hike.
10:51 am
hego
Hide it so it can't be seen.
10:52 am
crosshair
but i will hide it better from prying eyes now i think, after your tale
10:52 am
MLFAN17
scrab how long until you get new cards? only a few days i hope
10:52 am
hego
I have a trunk, so I can do that easily.
10:53 am
crosshair
our good walking sticks i leave in the house but i always carry a pair of antique bamboo ski poles, one for my beloved and one for myself in the jeep at all times
10:54 am

in5 clue please?
10:54 am

I had my hiking backpack and left another in the car.
10:54 am

it is terrible when you cannot even leave a few items in a car:(
10:55 am

I will get new cards soon.

10:56 am
Scrabbler
Drug addicts want cash for their next fix, so I am hoping our bags were discarded and can be recovered, although that is probably not realistic.
10:56 am
hego
It's not the stuff, it's the trauma.
10:56 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I feel paranoid and vulnerable.
10:57 am
hego
I have been robbed, pickpocketed and purse snatched in Europe.
10:57 am
Scrabbler
Ugh, to deal with theft in a foreign country is even worse!
10:57 am
hego
never lost much, but still a pain.
10:59 am
hego
I once had a little umbrella stolen from my pocket in Madrid.
10:59 am
MollyL
They say you should put valuables in the trunk of your car. I'm not sure why when thieves can break the window and pop the trunk.
10:59 am
hego
Madrid is tough.
10:59 am
hego
So they're not visible Molly.
10:59 am
Scrabbler
I will look into a home security system, but the problem is I live in a rural area and the sheriff's car would arrive after the thieves departed.
11:00 am
Scrabbler
My friend's purse was stolen from her trunk yesterday because the trunk latch was popped.
11:00 am
hego
The best thing is Not to leave anything of value in your car.
11:00 am
MollyL
Home security in the country is a big dog that bites and a baseball bat.
11:01 am
hego
I don't think Scrab's bunnies would like that.
11:01 am
Scrabbler
Yes, and I am mad at myself because I held my purse and almost took it with me, then thought it would be safer in the car rather than possibly getting wet during a hike. Stupid me.
11:02 am
hego
There's no telling Scrabs.
11:02 am
MollyL
I have heard that parking lots at parks and hiking trail parking lots are often where car thieves will strike, figuring you will be away from your car for an extended period of time.
11:04 am
Scrabbler
Yes, the perfect crime scene.
11:04 am
MollyL
I used to leave my purse in the trunk when we walked around the lake. Now I carry my cell phone and my wallet in a hip pack.
11:04 am
Scrabbler
Thieves are desperate.
11:08 am
crosshair
I am thinking that for day trips I may switch to ca canvas messenger bag that can be hidden under the back seat
11:09 am
Scrabbler
The fact is that criminals find ways to be evil, and all we can hope is that they make a mistake.
11:11 am

Those crooks take their chances here in Phoenix because it seem like everyone carries a gun...and it's legal to do so.
11:11 am
Scrabbler
Yikes.
11:12 am
hego
but they love to steal guns most of all.
11:12 am
hego
they are valuable and salable.
11:13 am
MimiCat
It's not unusual to see someone with a gun holstered on the hip. But gun control only controls the law-abiding citizens..the bad people will always find a gun.
11:15 am
MollyL
I agree Mimi
11:15 am
MimiCat
We just had a priest killed here a couple of days ago. I'm always amazed anyone can get that churned up in this heat.
11:16 am
hego
must go bbl
11:16 am
Scrabbler
I read about that crime, Mimi, as a local priest knew that murdered one.
11:16 am
MollyL
And just for the record, Phoenix is an isolated area in terms of carrying weapons. Americans are not gun crazed gun toters.
11:16 am
MimiCat
I would think the guys who are obviously carrying would really be a target for someone who wanted to take them by surprise, grab the gun and kill someone, starting with the guy they stole the gun from.
11:17 am
MimiCat
Oh, yes, Molly, it truly is the wild west here. But we actually have much less crime than many places with this size population...go figure.

If you are carrying a weapon and someone can take you by surprise and grab it, you have no business carrying a weapon.

I read about your car scrabs.. did they get your credit cards and ID too?
11:24 am
MimiCat
I told my kids to scatter half my ashes over Ouray, Colorado and the other half along the 17-mile drive in Carmel. That way, if they want to visit mom, they get a nice vacation!
11:24 am
Scrabbler
Yes, Ruru!
11:25 am
MimiCat
How awful, Scrab!!
11:25 am
Scrabbler
I want half of my ashes spread around Thirteenth Lake in the Adirondack Mtns, and the other half at the nearby park. My two favorite places.
11:25 am
MLFAN17

11:25 am
Scrabbler
Duh, I just found cl6--think middle school girl formations.
11:26 am
MimiCat
That was my very first word today!
11:26 am
MLFAN17
thank you scrabs!
11:28 am
MollyL
Oh, the 6/21. I couldn't figure out what middle school girls had cloven hooves.
11:29 am
rururocks
have you shut down your credit card and notified the police etc?
11:29 am
MollyL

MLFAN17
ol5 clue please?
11:32 am
MLFAN17
oh that was a knee slapper ruru
11:32 am
Scrabbler
Oh, yes, Ruru. We called the police (sheriff department in the country), and made lots of phone calls.
11:33 am
Scrabbler
Good one, Ruru. You never miss a punny opportunity.
11:33 am
rururocks
shut down your credit asap.. gas cards everything
11:33 am
MimiCat
I'm going with my children to a Father's Day dinner tonight for my ex. Are we civilized or what?!!!
11:33 am
rururocks
that's unusual mimi
11:33 am
Scrabbler
We did and there had been no activity on the cards within the 1-2 hrs of the crime.
11:34 am
MimiCat
We're much better at being divorced than married. We're king of like brother and sister now.
11:34 am
MLFAN17
never mind i found it
11:34 am
Scrabbler
That is great and exceptional, Mimi.
11:34 am
rururocks
hopefully it was kids.. you will have to monitor your credit and see if new stuff pops up
11:35 am
MLFAN17
sometimes they just want cash
11:35 am
MollyL
How can you monitor a canceled card?
11:36 am
rururocks
you go to Experian or one of the other credit monitoring companies and check
11:36 am
MLFAN17
i need the oo 4/5 please?
11:36 am
rururocks
the problem is that the more you check it affects your credit score.
11:37 am
MollyL
But if the card is canceled, it can't be used.
11:37 am
rururocks
they can make new ones molly..it's easy
11:37 am
Enomis65
oo - cross letter and plural
11:37 am
MLFAN17
eno nope the other one
11:38 am
rururocks
I thought it was weird that they ran my credit when I bought my car
11:38 am
MimiCat
We all get together for Christmas/Thanksgiving as well. There's just no point carrying hard feelings from the past. Our issues were most about being married, so now we don't have those and we can be friends. It's nice for our kids that we get along. He even comes over to help me with household things from time to time. It's great....he does the heavy lifting and then leaves! I especially like the leaving part, I must admit.
11:38 am
MLFAN17
ruru they do that here in the US anytime with a big purchase if i am not mistaken
11:38 am
Enomis65
sorry don't have it
11:39 am
rururocks
that's really nice mimi.. Mrs Ru and I are like that too. I help her around the house and she can't wait for me to leave either
11:39 am
MLFAN17

Ruru...why do you have a New Zealand flag here?
11:40 am
Enomis65
MLF - you're going to kick yourself: oo - happy expression oo + car *ood + pl :)
11:41 am
rururocks
yes.. our friend Art has his identity stolen and they kept creating credit cards and running up small purchases all over the place, target, etc
11:41 am
Enomis65

11:41 am
rururocks

11:43 am
MimiCat
I have always wanted to go there, ruru. If you have Netflix, watch Top of the Lake...great New Zealand show with wonderful scenery...good story, too.
11:43 am
MLFAN17
what have the police done to help so far?
11:43 am
rururocks
I know mimi.. # 1 on my list of things to do in my life

11:45 am
rururocks
the only time?
11:45 am
rururocks
really?
11:46 am
MimiCat
Yep---absolutely the only time. I don't believe in jealousy...it's a waste of energy and I just have never really engaged in it. Never competed for a man either....if he wants me, he wants ME..otherwise, he can just go on his way.
11:51 am

molly mimi left
12:11 pm
MollyL
Ru, I don't get why they did a credit check on a car purchase that you didn't finance.
12:12 pm
rururocks
me neither.. I asked them why.. they didn't have a good answer other than procedure and to confirm that I was who I said I was.. it was strange
12:13 pm
MollyL
Yes, Mimi left (or may have left, you never know with Mimi) but Judi can still check in with her later.
12:13 pm
rururocks
like I'd be some guy to buy a $50K car under a false name and drive it off
12:13 pm
MollyL
And why would they care, they got their money. Weird.
12:13 pm
Judi
That would be so gangster!
12:14 pm
jubi
They just did a piece in the news about that. Has to do with drug smugglers buying cars with money that they haven't paid taxes on?
12:14 pm
rururocks
oh.. I didn't use my drug money funds
12:14 pm
MollyL
Oh, well then you're busted Ru.
12:15 pm
MLFAN17
co 7 clue please?
12:15 pm
Judi
Drug dealers usually just steal cars. Or drive them off the lot for a test drive and never return them.
12:15 pm
MollyL
And from what you've said, the IRS has sucked your last vein dry, so no worries about them.
12:15 pm
rururocks
I love telling the finance guys that I don't need to finance.. just to see their reactions.. it's priceless
12:15 pm
jubi
You know the irs wants their due no matter how the money is earned
12:15 pm
jubi
Lucky you ru
12:16 pm
rururocks
the IRS is sucking this weekend again Molly I pay quarterlies
12:16 pm
MollyL
That is my dream. To walk into a dealership one day and when they say "how would you like to finance this?" my answer would be "I'm not financing it". Whee!
12:16 pm
rururocks
*makes big sucking sound*
12:16 pm
Judi
Hope you are writing off the car as a business expense, ru.
12:17 pm

Quarterly taxes, the joy of being self-employed.

it only costs $45 to fill the tank the other day.. I love it
12:18 pm
rururocks
my suv is $100 to fill the tank
12:18 pm
Judi
I would think if you walk into a car dealership, point to a car, plunk down a full payment and cash, then give them your ID, the wouldn't be asking very many questions.
12:19 pm
rururocks
that's what I thought judi.. but that wasn't the case
12:19 pm
MLFAN17
ruru only?
12:19 pm

Then again, maybe Ruru just has that shady look about him.

I grew up in NYC, then lived in Pullman,WA, Carbondale, IL, Princeton, Europe (a little), Binghamton (a lot) and then Miami
12:34 pm
MollyL
I still have a son living at home Ru.
12:34 pm
MLFAN17
wow that is a lot of moving
12:34 pm
rururocks
oh.. I didn't know that
12:34 pm
rubyfoo
there isn't any local produce here, the area is too touristy for there to be farms, just local cheese
12:35 pm
rubyfoo
I think all that moving is mainly what killed my first marriage
12:35 pm
MollyL
Ha, Ru thought he had tripped into some scandal about me and a live in lover. : D

rururocks
they seem to be going around theses days :D

I'm in facebook but didn'tknow

rubyfoo
I mostly use it for seeing photos of my friends and my son's "gigs"
12:44 pm

That's strange because your Babble name/real name is listed there and that is only supposed to be done by the person whose name it is.
12:44 pm
rubyfoo
hmmm, maybe I've forgotten At my age, that's surely possible
12:50 pm

wonder why sotto isn't recognized -- all those other latin terms are!
1:39 pm
MollyL
Enable is persnickety, Nan.
1:40 pm
cybernan
hate the use of t for a pt - would like to strike that from enable
1:40 pm
MollyL
Also, I don't think sotto stands alone in Italian. I think it needs to be part of a phrase, like sotto voce.
1:41 pm
cybernan
hopefully we will get a dictionary some day that is controlled by a person who knows how to spell
1:41 pm
MollyL
Oh I don't think so. I don't think Dr. God has any plans to upgrade this place.
1:43 pm
MollyL
There are a lot of words that use t for past tense. Blest, burnt, crept, dealt...
1:44 pm
cybernan
the last 3 I agree on, but blest is really blessed
1:45 pm
cybernan
blest be the pure in heart? --- I don't think so!
1:45 pm
MollyL
You could say the same about burnt, it's really burned.
1:46 pm
cybernan
it burned, but it was burnt
1:47 pm
MollyL
Blest is an Old Testament word. It's used a lot in the Psalms.
1:48 pm
MollyL
Burnt and burned are used interchangeably. "She was burned at the stake"
1:48 pm
cybernan
but not the Beatitudes -- strange
1:49 pm
MollyL
It all depends on who was writing and how long they had been fasting in the desert. : )
1:49 pm
cybernan
think we could go back and forth on this all day - no wonder those for whom english is a second language get confused!
1:51 pm
MollyL
It's not just English. Many languages have oddities about them. I can tell you that from experience in my attempts to learn French.
1:51 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hi all. and just to but in, some languages (like French) have an official board to govern spelling, and when new words arrive, how they will be spelled, etc, but nothing like that for English
1:52 pm
MollyL
Oh, always feel free to but in Gwen. Your insight is appreciated. : )

Book Doctor Gwen
people have been trying to start an english spelling reform movement for at least 100 years. there is too much resistance.
1:54 pm
cybernan
gave up on remembering all the conjugations in french --- found out that most french people really don't care if you can speak the language perfectly or not -- they are just pleased that you try to communicate in french. Also found that my broken french makes them more comfortable trying to speak english.
1:54 pm
MollyL
Of course there is. Who wants to have to re-learn their language?
1:54 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
seriously, we should just start pronouncing things all wrong, just to prove that we need spelling reform. Ri-ch-t?
1:55 pm
cybernan
lol - in scotland you would be right with richt!
1:55 pm
MollyL
Nan, I can't count the number of times I said to my husband, "what do you mean there is no translation for that?"
1:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i get a kick out of the name of the actor, Sean Bean. "seen been" or "shawn bawn" but never "shawn been" LOL
1:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
cyber, exactly! and richt sounds cool, too
1:56 pm
MollyL
As a person of Irish descent, I have never heard the name Sean pronounced as seen.
1:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
to rhyme with bean . . . get it
1:56 pm
cybernan
me neither, but then I am of scottish descent, which is close enough

How are you doing Zoom? I found that the hardest part of losing someone is when things calm down a little and people stop asking after you.

Annie, you mentioned that about trying to grow tomatoes earlier. I asked my friend who is smart as a whip about growing vegetables. He said that tomatoes need a lot of water and that a lot of wind will dry them out.

Oooh! Bikini so teeny all the way! How could anybody resist a name like that? Pandarosa Pink sounds lame by comparison.

I've just had a lovely Skype chat with my daughter Sarah. She relocated to the UK on Thursday. I miss her like crazy, but it was a strategic career move. (She got a great job there, and there are no jobs here) i'm happy she seems comfortable there.
4:14 pm

good for her Soodle.

I like relocated better than emigrated. Emigrated sounds like she's never coming back.
4:15 pm

Girl and Boy child of Soodle will be partying down in the UK.
4:18 pm
Soodle
Wow, how things have changed. She was taken on a Skype tour of her new billet before she committed. I have Google-Mapped where she is living, up and down the street. It's amazing how technology can allay a fretting mother's fears.
4:19 pm

Oh dear, you are stalking her on Facebook and mapping her whereabouts on Google maps. : O

Hardy Har Har Molly! Seriously! I'm not that bad! I'm painfully aware that there are some things that my offspring engage in, that I really DON'T need to know about.
4:35 pm
MollyL
Indeed. And at least you are honest about that. So many people consider their offspring "sainted" with no chance of doing anything untoward.
4:41 pm
Soodle
I'm a 'Need to know' Mom
4:42 pm
MollyL
Funny, I'm a "would rather not know" Mom. Especially after they fessed up about some of the things they did, that I missed.
4:47 pm
MollyL
Once mine got old enough to live their own lives, I let them tell me what, where and when things were going on. All part of my letting go process.
4:51 pm
Soodle
I hear you, Molly. A policeman friend of mine told me about an incident about 4 years ago. My Paul (son of Soodle), and about 10 of his buddies, all 19-20 ish, decided to drive round & round a roundabout in the middle of our town. Nobody could get onto the roundabout, or off it. The little monkeys created havoc for about 4 hours, until the local constabulory arrived & threatened to arrest the lot of them. Not a hanging offence, but they annoyed the whole toe
4:52 pm
Soodle
...the whole town..
4:52 pm
MollyL
And hey, it is no big surprise that you and I have kids that would do something like that. : D
4:55 pm
Soodle
And then, there was the incident when Paul 'acquired' a blue flashing light, and was almost done for impersonating a police officer... Good Lord. No wonder I'm prematurely grey!
4:56 pm
MollyL
Oh damn, this is making my kids and their misadventures look good. (I'm developing a serious like for your son)
4:58 pm
Soodle
But, for all his illegal activity, it was pretty harmless. Nobody got hurt... Intensely annoying, but harmless. You'd love Son of Soodle, Molls. He's a diamond!
5:00 pm
MollyL
I have no doubt that I would get along with him famously. And the other two Gems Of Soodle.

sore, jilly. shoe is off, but i put it on voluntarily tonight

LOL..good girl! Keeping it elevated when seated?
8:11 pm
rururocks
what's with the foot?
8:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
no. it still hurts. wondering how long that will last. watched everyone dance last night.
8:13 pm
Jillyjill
Keeping it up when you can will reduce the pain, and I'd guess for several weeks.
8:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
sounded as if it should be gone in 4; why else would dr schedule follow up in four weeks "if i need it"?
8:16 pm
Jillyjill
4=several...LOL...but downside is if you have any underlying issues like osteoporosis and not healing
8:20 pm
72 Temple Owl
dr says osteoporosis is not a factor in healing.
8:21 pm
Jillyjill
Hmmm...interesting. Not sure I agree

10:45 pm
rururocks

As long as you don't talk that way to adults, I'll give you a pass.
10:46 pm
rururocks
oh.. not to adults xxxx
10:46 pm
MollyL
Good, because women will think strange things about you if you start referring to their breasts as boobies.
10:47 pm
rururocks
to adults: it's "I am taking the DOG for a WALK*
10:47 pm
rururocks
I couldn't do that to a woman either
10:47 pm
rururocks
To the dog: Does Mr. Dylan wants to go for walkies?
10:48 pm
rururocks
*tail wagging*
10:48 pm
rururocks
I do know why they call them boobs though
10:50 pm
MollyL
...waits for it...
10:51 pm
rururocks
because men who are so focused on them are boobs
10:52 pm
