5:08 am

worzel

was thinking of my ex wife lol!!!

5:11 am

grannyrose

so what are you plans for the day ahead?

5:12 am

worzel

I am getting heavily into jigsaw puzzles at the moment and Di bought me a jigsaw of a lovely winter scene by the artist Thomas Kincade (one of my favourite contemporary artists) for me birthday. It's a bloody tough one, but that's going to be my plan for today, make a start on it. How about you? xx

5:14 am

grannyrose

our day is almost over. we went to church as usual, then over to son simon's for afternoon tea...more like a high tea actually. came home full as a goog. grandkiddies were delightful as always. they ar so full of energy. i get tired just watching them.

5:16 am

worzel

I don't have children - sometimes I think that's a blessing. To be honest I've never really been the fatherly type - I tend to see my pets as my children lol. Mind you, even they can tire you out. We have a 5year old West Highland White terrier and a 10 year old budgie - both as mad as fleas and so full of energy all the time

5:18 am

grannyrose

i believe that

5:19 am

worzel

Di's just reading a story online about how dogs kissing you is supposed to be healthy lol - I expect she'll be running round the house later trying to snog him lol.

grannyrose

so long as he's shaved....lol

5:21 am

worzel

haha

5:22 am

worzel

well mum i'm going to disappear now as I have shopping to do before I get to my jigsaw. I hope you and Dad have a lovely sleep and it's been wonderful to catch up with you - I must come on more often, I do apologise xx

We had snow yesterday, on the first day of spring. But it didn't come to anything.

5:51 am

grannyrose

that's late, isn't it?

5:51 am

sukee

Not really for here, it has snowed in April.

5:52 am

sukee

Still annoying though, it's going to be cold this coming week too.

5:53 am

grannyrose

our weather turned cold enough for a frost two nights ago, and today the temp was 28C. go figure!

5:53 am

sukee

Weather is weird these days :)

5:55 am

grannyrose

it sure is. i never know what to put on when going out any more. hubby says wear at least three layers and peel them off when you start to warm up.

5:56 am

sukee

I just can't wait until I can wear my shorts and runners without socks :)

6:10 am

grannyrose

time for bed for me. enjoy the grid sukee. xoxox

crosshair

Good morning, everyone:)

6:20 am

sukee

Hi crossy. A bit quiet this morning.

6:21 am

crosshair

Howdy, sukee. Winter is back with a vengeance in my neck of the woods. All told we got 5 inches of wet heavy snow yesterday:(

6:21 am

sukee

Oh wow, we got flurries.

6:22 am

sukee

It's a bit colder.

6:22 am

periwinkle

hi all. I could type right away cause I had the batteries in backwards in my keyboard :(

6:22 am

sukee

Boo is back lying on the radiator.

6:23 am

sukee

Hi peri.

6:23 am

crosshair

lol, peri. The batteries in this kb seem to last forever. it uses a pair of AAA batteries and have been in there for well over 4 years now;)

6:23 am

periwinkle

what kind of batteries do you use?

6:24 am

periwinkle

crossy I have a computer question.

6:24 am

crosshair

I use Duracell

6:24 am

crosshair

go ahead peri

6:24 am

periwinkle

then I must buy duracell

6:24 am

periwinkle

when I turn my computer own there is a low hum

6:25 am

crosshair

not regular alkaline. get the better ones.. NiCads i think

6:25 am

periwinkle

after is it on a while the hum gets louder then turns into a buzz and a louder buzz which drives me nuts

6:25 am

periwinkle

could it be the fan. I have a desktop Dell about 3 years old. computer and monitor are one piece

6:25 am

crosshair

no they are lithioun ion batteries

6:26 am

crosshair

lithium*

6:26 am

crosshair

When is the last time you cleaned out the heat sink in your computer?

6:26 am

periwinkle

huh?

6:26 am

crosshair

mm... an all-in-one, that makes it harder

6:26 am

periwinkle

what is a heat sink?

6:27 am

crosshair

Over time any desktop computer gets "dust bunnies" built up in the heat sink fins behind the cpu fan

6:27 am

sukee

Have you tried forced air on the fan? My laptop was heating up a lot until I started doing that regularly.

6:27 am

periwinkle

someone suggested that I take the back off and check the fan(s) and get rid of dust. but I am afraid to do that myself

6:27 am

crosshair

this has to be cleaned out from time to time. Like right now my own machine is very noisy and the fan runs at a higher sped than normal

6:28 am

crosshair

it must be done peri

6:28 am

periwinkle

I have one of those cans of forced air. but I would have to take the back off, right, sukee?

6:28 am

crosshair

get a geek friend to help

6:28 am

periwinkle

my nephew knows a lot about computers. not the one who lives here.

6:29 am

sukee

When I had a desktop I found it easy to remove the back. It's not hard, I used to even add more memory myself.

6:29 am

crosshair

You would be surprised how much crap builds up behind the cpu fan

6:29 am

periwinkle

other nephew will be here in two weeks for Passover but I don't want to ask for help then

6:30 am

periwinkle

I might give it a try with bro in laws help or the nephew who lives here. thanks

6:30 am

crosshair

The machine starts to run hotter until you get performance issues

6:30 am

crosshair

is worse if you have pets. all their hair gets in there

6:30 am

periwinkle

6:30 am

periwinkle

it is quietly humming now which is not bothering me

6:31 am

crosshair

periwinkle

6:33 am

i paid ahead this year, estimated taxes, but suppose we'll still have to pay some more. and i file with the u.s., too

I can get the cheap grapes for $2.50/pound, but I prefer the green seedless when they are available

9:35 am

that's what i bought, crossy, the green seedless (they had red seedless/seeded, too, but not as sweet)

9:35 am

there are ways to minimize the tax (spending lots of time in the states is one - one i wish i could do more of!) - but there are lots of people who pay, or are supposed to pay, taxes to the us, even if they don't live/work there

hi peri and soodle

4:15 pm

we are not allowed to hang clothes on a line here :(

4:16 pm

Soodle

Hey, Peri. I bought some lovely lavender coloured nail polish yesterday. I thought of you. Hi Harp. :-)

4:16 pm

MollyL

The Irish Rugby boys are kicking ass and taking names.

4:18 pm

Soodle

And the women did the same today as well!! Great result. Peri, who says you can't hang out clothes???

4:19 pm

periwinkle

township ordnance or some such thing

4:19 pm

periwinkle

I love ths smell of clothes dried in the sun

4:19 pm

MollyL

Soodle, we have snotty Home Owners Associations who think clothes on the line looks too "low rent"

4:20 pm

periwinkle

no clotheslines allowed.maybe I should hang my clothes on the trees and bushes

4:20 pm

periwinkle

same here

4:21 pm

rururocks

In California (San Fransicko especially) they have other uses for clothes pins

4:21 pm

rururocks

<---trying to be amusing

4:22 pm

Soodle

Good heavens! I would regard that as an infringement of civil liberties. Mind you, where I live, nobody can see the 'Soodle-Smalls' on my line. Maybe if they were on view to the general public, I wouldn't hang them out....

4:22 pm

MollyL

*Applause for the lapdog*

4:23 pm

MollyL

Funny thing Soodle. We live in a country where people have died protecting our "civil liberties" and now we make laws to infringe on them. Go figure.

4:25 pm

Soodle

Whats the thinking behind the 'Non-Hanging-Of-Clean-Washing-On-The-L\nine law?

4:26 pm

periwinkle

what Molly said: looks too "low rent"

4:26 pm

4:27 pm

Soodle

Wow. Where I grew up, there was nothing shameful about washing clothes!

4:29 pm

harpjane

It's just too lower-class for some neighborhoods.

4:29 pm

Soodle

Harp - the je 7/48 are little piers. The je 8/65 are the most of these... I don't have the 6 yet

Nope, I am here. just writing a letter at the same time

6:39 pm

One of our last days in the Bay Area and I am going to miss the nice weather

Ah, multitasking. I am making a birthday card at the same time.

6:41 pm

A real letter! With ink and paper!! gasp! lol... my hand is cramping!

It is a long time since I had a proper handwritten letter. I miss them.

You can't keep e-mails tied up with ribbon though. I have all our love letters tied up with ribbon and in a box.

6:46 pm

Like hand written letters. they are scarce and add a consonant for 'more'

6:47 pm

Poor clue - superlative of the 4 letter word is better.

hi crossy

7:58 pm

i is being my own IT person. . . which means i am in real trouble. . . haha

7:59 pm

crosshair

The letter writing brought to my mind a bit of a poem I wrote year before last. i was experimenting with stream of consciousness stuff at the time and this is one of my early attempts I will share with my babble buds;)...

7:59 pm

crosshair

Thirty-Three years gone, and the classes begin again.
I rememberâ€¦
Long hand for the boyâ€™s who were too cool,
Palmer script for the girls who did not care about thatâ€”
Matterâ€™s not anymore--not nowâ€¦
The clatter of keyboards drowns out all.
The imperial measure is unknown to them--I sit and smile ruefully.
I try the old longhand--and fail
The skill is lost to meâ€¦
Sadly, I bend my head and hit the keys,
And mourn for what I have lost.

7:59 pm

jmcnrick

*grabs a glass of sherry to listen to poetry*

7:59 pm

crosshair

of course babble formats it as it will

8:00 pm

jmcnrick

not too bad formating

8:00 pm

crosshair

it is proper format on the word page

8:00 pm

crosshair

but you get the gist

8:01 pm

jmcnrick

keyboards are faster than long hand anyway

8:01 pm

crosshair

I recall some wrote with a leftward slant and others to the right

8:02 pm

jmcnrick

i deliberately didn't take typing in high school lest i got stuck as a secretary. . .

8:03 pm

jmcnrick

guys didnt have to worry about that

8:03 pm

crosshair

I took a keyboarding class in 1980. All i can remember of it was that I hated it;)

8:03 pm

jmcnrick

i just learned by doing it over and over and over. . .

8:04 pm

crosshair

lol. i now two-finger type at 80 wpm:)

8:04 pm

jmcnrick

. . .and over and over

8:04 pm

crosshair

give or take

8:05 pm

jmcnrick

i am more traditional in my typing. . . use all my fingers but only the right hand shift key

8:07 pm

8:10 pm

Jshapiro35

8:10 pm

jmcnrick

okay i am not around much anymore and wanted to be sure. . . i understand. . . don't use it much myself

8:11 pm

crosshair

I avoid Lickety until I am tearing my hair out over the last dozen words or so:)

8:11 pm

jmcnrick

*waves at jshapiro*

8:11 pm

crosshair

8:12 pm

8:12 pm

Jshapiro35

same here cross, only as a a last resort

8:12 pm

jmcnrick

depends on my mood. . . .

8:12 pm

crosshair

If you really want to be numbed by my attempts at poetry. I have a dozen or so deposited on poetry.com:)

8:13 pm

jmcnrick

Douglas

It's the only song I know with that word

8:15 pm

jmcnrick

i must say i was surprised the other day watching tc and some show with the big guy "hero" and reciting Invictus. . .

8:15 pm

crosshair

I will call my collection "Poetry for the Alcoholicly Embalmed"

8:15 pm

crosshair

I love Invictus

8:16 pm

jmcnrick

i hated it as i was required to memorize it for school. . .

8:16 pm

crosshair

I should tattoo it on my forearm...

8:16 pm

Douglas

Timothy McVeigh ruined that poem for me by reciting it shortly before his execution

8:16 pm

jmcnrick

but i do get the underlying thought. . .

8:17 pm

crosshair

Well, I did not watch him shuffle off the mortal coil, so the poem still works for me

8:17 pm

jmcnrick

ick! I was unaware. . . if i liked it i wouldn't now. . .

8:17 pm

jmcnrick

he te**ed my opposition to the death penalty. . .

8:18 pm

jmcnrick

but it would have been better for him to be jailed forever and worn down rather than dying thinking he was a hero and a martyr

8:20 pm

jmcnrick

okay i am off to do some more work on my computer. . . nice talking with you guys. . .

8:20 pm

crosshair

We let our cons rots for eternity here;)

8:21 pm

crosshair

though some you want to bury in the ground

8:22 pm

crosshair

depending on the crime, some of them you can just dump into general population, and the problem takes care of itself:)

Bugsaw

how are you crossy? we haven't talked in a bit

8:42 pm

Bugsaw

how many feet of snow do you have?

8:46 pm

crosshair

Hwdy, bugsaw. In the last week we have lost 50% of our snow, but got 5 inches of wet heavy stuff yesterday

8:46 pm

crosshair

We are still getting down below freezing at night but hitting 3-4C in the day

8:47 pm

Bugsaw

Thanks crossy. Back here the news makes it sound like nothing ever melts so I keep visualizing about 18 feet on the ground and more in the piles

8:47 pm

crosshair

The 2 foot base on the hill is still pretty much in place, because they stockpile snow mounds to keep the runs nice, but it things continue I think there will be 2 weeks or so left of skiing

8:48 pm

crosshair

We are more than ready for Spring

8:48 pm

crosshair

There is still lots of snow on the sides of the roads, but the roads themselves are clear for the most part now

8:49 pm

Bugsaw

our hill only had about one week of really good skiing this year. we will have trouble this summer for sure

8:49 pm

crosshair

Qw had nice suny day today:)

8:49 pm

8:49 pm

crosshair

Almost bed time. My typing is deteriorating rapidly:)

8:50 pm

Bugsaw

I just finished so before we go, do you, or anyone here, need a bad clue or two?

8:50 pm

crosshair

We got lots of snow overall and the water tables should be fine. they had their turn skiing. Now it is time for hiking and camping, and kayaking!

8:51 pm

crosshair

I am ok for now bugsaw. i will dig at the grid for a bit more before bed.

8:51 pm
