your strawberries look yummy - had some tonight from a neighbourhood farmer
1:15 am
vanillaslice
Our crop was great this year, we'll be eating jam till 2020
1:15 am
flosey
ah, lovely
1:16 am
flosey
we don't grow them ourselves
1:16 am
gapeach
Thanks much, vanilla.
1:18 am
vanillaslice
mind you, I won't be making 2020. I'm now on chemo, had radiation and I'm glad I'm having a great day today
1:19 am
flosey
all the best with the chemo
1:20 am
vanillaslice
ty its not the nicest
1:21 am
vanillaslice
They are still hoping to slow down the process
1:22 am
gapeach
Gosh, vanilla, I did not know. Will it be alright for me to pray for you? I will be glad to, if it is OK with you
1:22 am
flosey
no, not pleasant at all
1:24 am
vanillaslice
I'd love that peach, just a few days ago I received a crocheted blanket made by a group of church ladies, each square made with a special prayer for my wellbeing, I was overwhelmed
1:27 am
gapeach
There is still a great amount of good people left.....my granddaughter has a rare kind in her brain. Was clear for 7 years but it has spread to other parts of her body. She is on chemo only now. She has an 8 year old son. Says she knows she won't see him grow up.
1:29 am
vanillaslice
I spent time in the city for radiation and was there with a number of children and young adults, it humbles you to see their strength
1:30 am
gapeach
Yes, I'm sure it does.
1:31 am
gapeach
Did you do the Proton Beam Radiation Therapy earlier?
1:33 am
vanillaslice
Not sure. For the bladder it was normal radiation, for the lung cyberknife. There's only a few in the world and it's a far greater dosage but homes in much better on the tumor
1:35 am
vanillaslice
Just looking it up that sounds much like the cyberknife I had.
1:36 am
gapeach
There were only 2 here in the US when she had that therapy.....one in Boston and one in Loma Linda, Ca. Now there are quite a few. You could go on like and just type in Proton Beam Radiation locations. Wpuld there be a way for you to come here?
1:37 am
gapeach
go on line....sorry
1:37 am
flosey
now there's one in Seattle, WA, Peach, that's where my daughter went - we don't have that facility in Canada yet
1:37 am
gapeach
would. Golly, I must be getting sleepy. Sorry
1:38 am
gapeach
Oh, flosey, I didn't know. I will put her on my list also.
1:40 am
flosey
she's been through the course, Peach, now just has the mri's regularly to see that it hasn't come back
1:40 am
vanillaslice
Looks like there's a bit of controversy whether cyberknife or Proton Beam is better. Nothing is straightforward is it.
1:42 am
gapeach
No, it isn't. Perhaps it is because it is rather new.
1:42 am
vanillaslice
They also can't treat all cancers the same. I've also been inundated with quack treatments that's why I generally steer away from talking about it on social media
1:42 am
flosey
so much of it is relatively new and they're learning more and more all the time - amazing how much they're still learning
1:43 am
gapeach
We have come a long way in our lifetimes, eh, flosey?
1:43 am
vanillaslice
At my age I'm not desperate, I know my wife will be well looked after by the children and grandchildren.
1:43 am
flosey
understand your attitude vanillaslice, there is still a lot of quackery - do have to be careful
1:44 am
flosey
indeed, Peach
1:44 am
vanillaslice
And the quality time we're now having is amazing.
1:47 am
vanillaslice
With that I must love and leave you, some great old friends have just lobbed in. Have a good day, I will pray for your daughter flosey
1:47 am
gapeach
Sweet dreams, vanillaslice.
1:47 am
flosey
thanks Vanillaslice, bless you, now have a good time with your friends

Oh, gosh, flosey......I forgot the time difference.

1:53 am
gapeach
Almost 3:00AM here, flosey. What time is it in Australia?

So ridiculous, some school board has decided to get rid of school librarians.
6:01 am
crosshair
and who is going to keep the library organized??
6:01 am
sukee
They probably expect volunteers.
6:02 am
crosshair
sure.. that will work.. everyone will try and be the boss
6:02 am
sukee
As a person with a library background, I think it is awful. Librarians (and technicians like I was) are definitely needed.
6:02 am
sukee
Yes, and they will choose books based on personal likes or dislikes or religion, etc.
6:04 am
crosshair
I think I heard that PA no longer has public libraries run by the state. Shocking. Hope things have changed.
6:05 am
crosshair
I do not know about other areas, but our little town of 26,000 would be totally lost without our library!
6:05 am
sukee
The US seems to be going backwards. We need someone to step in like Carnegie did in his time. Now they are too greedy it seems. They can always find money for the military.
6:05 am
crosshair
So much happens there.
6:06 am
crosshair
Indeed. sadly our very own Carnegie library burned down in the 1920's but there has always been another built to house our books.
6:07 am
sukee
Although, small lending libraries are popping up. People put a box or book case on their lawn and tell people they can borrow them.
6:07 am
sukee
Libraries are also important for kids who don't have a computer at home.
6:08 am
sukee
brb, have to brush my teeth :)
6:08 am
crosshair
Our new library is the hub of the town. Not only books, but meeting places for book clubs, and study get-togethers, as well as language classes. Local artists can also get free space to hang their works for all to see. Plus all the town archives and local family records going back generations are stored there.
6:09 am
crosshair
yes, computers as well, and this new building has a green roof where you can go up there and sit amongst the trees and flowers and look out over georgian bay while enjoying your next read
6:12 am
crosshair
The kids can even bring their e-readers to the children's section and the librarian will help them load up a few books from the data base.
6:16 am
crosshair
technology and books on the shelves spanning the last 100 years or so live in harmony. it is a nice place:)
6:16 am
sukee
Sounds great.
6:16 am
crosshair
was worth every dime:)
6:17 am
ivesy3
we have one man here who constantly puts articles in the paper on how they should close the library..i dont think he ever stepped foot in one
6:17 am
crosshair
That is sad:(
6:17 am
sukee
They just fixed up our main library here, haven't been yet but here it is great. Has a lot of the same features.
6:18 am
sukee
I want to go there and check Ancestry.com, you can use it free inside the library.
6:18 am
ivesy3
and as for volunteers, we have our share and they for the most part are more trouble than help
6:18 am
sukee
Anyway, I have got to run. Take care all.
6:19 am
crosshair
tc, sukke
6:19 am
crosshair
and what is this guy's reasoning for closing the library??
6:21 am
ivesy3
says it cost the city too much money, we operate on a budget of $139 thous. .that includes wages. which are miniumum wage
6:21 am
crosshair
That is not much at all
6:22 am
ivesy3
this from someone who was a cop and prob. gets quite the retirement check...lol. more than i make i am sure
6:22 am
crosshair
Our new place cost ten million--half of which was raised within a month by donations and it is 4 floors including the town archive storage and Coast guard office
6:23 am

Libraries are just too valuable. tell that ex-cop of yours to go pound sand;)
6:39 am
bichon
Yeah for libraries and librarians
6:40 am

we consider then source.. he doesnt use the library, so he thinks it should close. wonder how he would like all the kids that hang out there, walking the street....
6:40 am

Howdy, Bichon
6:41 am

Yes, the libraries are a hive of activity for the kids, and even more important in smaller towns that cannot support a large entertainment infrastructure.
6:41 am

and now i must get moving to go to work..at the library.. monday fun day, we are closed sundays so makes for an interesting crowd trying to get the door open before we open..lol

been struggling with an icon change -- uploaded and the photo was huge, so resized and tried to upload again and no go. Tried saving photo to a different location --- again no go. Have run out of ideas now!
12:18 pm
MollyL
Nan, icons have to be 350 x 350, your icon is still huge as I'm viewing it
12:18 pm

any clues for some 7s??
12:19 pm

cyber I cant get any pic (non photo) to come on here it tells me they are not a known format even though I googled jpg images
12:19 pm
MLFAN17
mkg le 7 32 is plural of the 5 above it
12:19 pm
MLFAN17
I have tried different sized icons and nothing seems to work
12:20 pm
MollyL
irfanview is a great photo imaging site and it's free.
12:22 pm
MLFAN17
you have to download to use it and it takes certain plug ins
12:22 pm
cybernan
I know Molly --- will have to work on it later -- did a photo collage with photochop, but thik I should have resized the photos first instead of after it was done.
12:24 pm
cybernan
*photoshop
12:27 pm
MollyL
Yes, you have to download any program to use it.
12:27 pm
josephjames
Really? I usually find that after you resize you have lower quality, so I do that last. Otherwise any other adjustments you make further reduce the quality.
12:30 pm
MollyL
Yes, when you resize a photo it reduces the quality. But icons here are restricted to a certain size for viewing, otherwise they are just giant, like Nan's is now.
12:31 pm
cybernan
I think the problem is that once I had done the collage, the layers locked and now it won't resize
12:33 pm
MollyL
Well Nan, if you made a collage, you have the individual picture somewhere. That is what needs to be resized before using it as an icon here. One that isn't giant anyway.
12:34 pm
cybernan
that's what I said earlier
12:36 pm
MollyL
Here is a tinyurl link to your picture, resized
http://tinyurl.com/pleo3sb
12:39 pm
cybernan
Thanks Molly -- that saved me some work!
12:43 pm
MollyL
And now your icon isn't giant anymore. Yay.
12:45 pm
cybernan
will remember to resize first with the next one! This was the first time I had tried to make a collage with photoshop
12:45 pm
MollyL
Just goes to show how "not private" pictures you post on the internet are. Anyone can copy them and do what they want with them. People who use Facebook should remember that.
12:45 pm
cybernan
not as easy as it sounds when you have to figure out how to circumnavigate all the presets that you don't necessarily want
12:46 pm
cybernan
agreed on the privacy bigt
12:46 pm
josephjames
you can always save the pic, open it in another program like Microsoft Picture Viewer, and resize it from there.
12:47 pm
josephjames
(MPV comes standard on PCs)
12:47 pm
MollyL
Resizing pictures requires some internet savvy that some people don't have. I have tried to explain it here, but it is easier to show someone in person.
12:47 pm
cybernan
yes - I have it - have just never used it
12:48 pm
josephjames
it's really easy, just open the pic in MPV, choose Picture and then Resize
12:49 pm
MollyL
I try to stay away from Microsoft programs. I find them very "user unfriendly"
12:49 pm
cybernan
I resize crop and edit my photos all the time -- but am usually doing it for an hd video presentation which is a whole different kettle of fish. Also have to downsize for the web pages I write, but I'm not dealing with collages there, nor making icon sized stuff
12:52 pm
MollyL
Resizing for a web page is the same for any web page. You just have to know the dimensions that work on the web page. Here it is 350 x 350
12:53 pm
cybernan
in this case, molly, because of the editing I had done, the pixils were locked
12:57 pm
MollyL
Not sure how pixils get locked. That is why I recommended a different imaging program.
12:58 pm
MollyL
Even if you make a collage with pictures, you should still be able to resize the individual pictures you used.
12:59 pm
cybernan
yes and that is what I was going to do, but as you have done it for me I won't need to now
12:59 pm
cybernan
Thanks again
12:59 pm
MollyL
: D Glad to help. I do this kind of thing as a part time gig so it is pretty easy for me.
1:03 pm

lovely.. I had a wonderful time up there and meeting everyone. such great people
7:16 pm
Lizlin
That's excellent - they all seem such lovely people on babble - but even better to meet them. And the scenery up there is beautiful too.
7:19 pm
rururocks
we all had a blast together.. lots of wine and lots of food.. but they were troopers :D
7:19 pm

How many did you meet? 4? And how is Jilli these days?

I met bugsaw, Saanich, jilli, and Flosey.. and assorted hangers on (husbands) :D
7:22 pm
rururocks
jilli was great.. although a little peeved with me single handedly destroying her kitchen :D
7:22 pm
Lizlin
Like I said, they all seem to be lovely people on babble. It's so good when reality matches up to expectations. I'm sure the hangers on were great people too.
7:22 pm

LOL! How did you do that?

she had a ball with all the company though and was a really great sport about the whole thing
7:23 pm

I cooked several courses of food and we used a lot of glassware and plates .. I cooked.. and did two loads in the dishwasher.. so I left the rest
7:23 pm
Lizlin
I bet you were really spoiled by them all - being a visitor up there!
7:24 pm
rururocks
4.5 hours in a hot kitchen (it was warm up there).. and I was done..
7:24 pm
Lizlin
Even though you cooked - I bet you chose lovely wines too.
7:24 pm
rururocks
yes.. the wines were ok
7:24 pm
Lizlin
Sounds like fun though and I bet you loved every minute in that kitchen.
7:25 pm

they did treat me well.. and they are such warm and nice people all the way around. I think they live in one of the most beautiful places on earth too.. those lucky people.
7:26 pm

I've not been to SSI but I've been to Vancouver and Victoria and I also cruised through the Inside Passage and saw some of the beautiful islands.

random question for anybody here (on the theory that ya'll are word-nerds)... what's the origin of the phrase "make a leg"? I know what it means, but my google-fu is failing to hunt up where it came from
10:48 pm
Uneaixoise
make a leg?
10:48 pm
jesdraggon
yes, make a leg
10:49 pm
Uneaixoise
use it in a sentence?
10:50 pm
hpb
shake a leg?
10:50 pm
jesdraggon
ah... he made a leg before her, doffing his hat with a flourish
10:50 pm
Uneaixoise
break a leg?
10:50 pm
jesdraggon
it means to bow exaggeratedly
10:50 pm
Uneaixoise
never heard of it . . .
10:51 pm
jesdraggon
but i want to know how it came about, because it's a really weird phrase for what it means
10:51 pm
hpb
Me neither. But it probably has to do with the bow--maybe they put one foot forward.
10:53 pm
jesdraggon
hmm. i thought for sure this'd be the place to find the answer. ah well.
10:53 pm
Uneaixoise
looks like it's Shakespeare -- All's Well That Ends Wel
10:54 pm
Uneaixoise
Truly, madam, if God have lent a man any manners, he may easily put it off at court: he that cannot make a leg, put off's cap, kiss his hand and say nothing,
10:54 pm
jesdraggon
which may be where i first heard it, but i didn't think he invented it, and i've heard it used elsewhere
10:54 pm
Uneaixoise
oh well :-)
10:55 pm
Pinikula
"make a leg" = The phrase "make a leg" refers to the act of bowing or obeisance. It is believed that it comes from the act of drawing a leg slightly backward and bowing. This sort of bowing is most common after a theoretical performance or show. It was a form of curtsey that the paid by the performer to the audience when they applauded his or her performance. It implies the sense of being grateful for something. The bow is actually being more out of gratitude then any sense of respect due.
10:55 pm
jesdraggon
i did read a lot of shakespeare as a kid though, so maybe i just think it was mroe commonly used than it was?
10:56 pm
Pinikula
(saw your question and found that)
10:56 pm
Uneaixoise
hey pini :-)
10:56 pm
jesdraggon
but i want to know how the phrase arose - all i can find online are definitions, pinikula.
11:00 pm

well, if any of you happen across the origin story of weird little phrase, try to remember to tell me? :D

Jes, Shakespeare made up many manay words and phrases--the ORD may give the origen, or there must be some book or treatise on the words etc he n made up. I am familiar with "make a leg--but pictured it in my mind with a leg coming forward and the owner-a man-flourishing his hat
11:12 pm
rururocks
make a leg can also mean a dog humping it :D
11:13 pm
jesdraggon
not a meaning with which I'm familiar, ruru. looking for the origin (of the exaggerated bow meaning), any ideas?
11:14 pm
