I wonder if likety's time zone is different from babble's? That could account for the date difference. I'm still on March 3, but his list shows March 4.
12:19 am
ARB
Lickety is in Australia and Babble is on midwestern US time -- ofcourse Lickety is hours ahead of Babble.

is anybody here?
3:55 am
hurshy
i'm kind of here, hi ruby
3:55 am
rubyfoo
hi, hurshy. Is it cold and windy there?
3:56 am
rubyfoo
usually, we get your weather 2 days later
3:56 am
hurshy
i'm not really in britain, remember? :) just a wannabe brit
3:56 am
rubyfoo
aah, I forgot, duh me!
3:57 am
hurshy
so the weather goes from london to paris, and the fashions go the other way, eh?
3:57 am
Marc Freeman
og8, please?
3:58 am
hurshy
in the manner of Shrek
3:59 am
Marc Freeman
Does it work off of the og6?
3:59 am
Marc Freeman
got it thanks
3:59 am
rubyfoo
but not here; I'm in the sticks. Nice clothes, shoes and jewelry are all out of place here.
4:00 am
hurshy
dans les batons (haha)
4:01 am
rubyfoo
you might say it's rural
4:02 am
hurshy
*hears charming accordion music, sees old men sipping wine, young men working in the vineyard, housewives hanging out their laundry*
4:03 am
rubyfoo
and nobody in the village speaks English, except for the snowbirds who keep vacation houses here
4:03 am
hurshy
how are things with you? are you getting the help you need?
4:04 am
rubyfoo
no joke, hurshy, formerly, this was a fishing village with vineyards on the hillsides. Suddenly, it has become chic.
4:04 am
rubyfoo
Lots of help, but this has been a dreadful winter
4:05 am
hurshy
weatherwise or otherwise?
4:05 am
rubyfoo
but not so chic chez moi
4:05 am
hurshy
chic is overrated
4:06 am
rubyfoo
healthwise and withoyt my sick husband, so it's sad, too
4:06 am
hurshy
oh, so where is he now?
4:09 am
rubyfoo
I'm sorry, I guess you didn't know. After several years of deterioration due to Alzheimers, he passed away in a nusing home in January
4:10 am
rubyfoo
It was a relief, but we ere together for many years and, as difficult as he was, I miss him
4:10 am
hurshy
i'm sorry ruby. i knew about the deterioration but last i heard you were still struggling along with him at home. i'm sorry for your loss.
4:11 am
hurshy
a friend of mine lost his wife to ALS last month as well. sad beginnings to the year.
4:12 am
rubyfoo
Thank you. I kept him here as long as I could but, ultimately, he couldn't stay as he became aggressive and was constantly falling
4:12 am
hurshy
right - that is why i was asking about what help you had. :(
4:13 am
rubyfoo
He was 90 (I'm much younger -- lol), but even though it was a mercy that he died when he did, it is still very sad
4:13 am
rubyfoo
I kept one of the aides who helped him and she does my grocery shopping and runs errands
4:14 am
rubyfoo
she's like a PA
4:15 am
hurshy
hey i'm like that for my cat! lol
4:15 am
rubyfoo
between her, the dogs and the housekeeper, I'm doing OK
4:16 am
rubyfoo
but does the cat drive?
4:16 am
hurshy
she drives me to get up and get her food...
4:20 am
rubyfoo
the dogs are good company, force me to get out of bed and are VERY protective
4:20 am
hurshy
do you have any hobbies? painting the countryside perhaps?
4:20 am
rubyfoo
My housekeeper, on the other hand, keeps up a running conversation withherself
4:22 am
rubyfoo
I used to be a painter, but no more. Maybe when (IF) it gets warm, I'll start being productive again
4:22 am
hurshy
bet lots of us babblers would be interested in buying french countryside paintings from you!
4:26 am
hurshy
well, i'm done. must take a migraine pill and try to get back to sleep. best wishes to you, ruby.
4:26 am
sprite
good morning all
4:26 am
rubyfoo
I only did 2 kinds of art: geometric abstracts, most of which I sold in upstate NY, and pen drawings of birds and dragons, which I sold to pay for framing what I exhibited

4:27 am

Is it cold there, sprite?
4:28 am
rubyfoo
not too bad, but it's cold and extremely windy
4:29 am
sprite
yeah it is tough on the old bones. Here as well.

4:36 am
rubyfoo
my poor daffs and tulips are being beaten down by the Wind, rain and lack of sunshine
4:36 am
sprite
poor dears :) Let's hope there won't be another freeze.
4:38 am
rubyfoo
There was no hard freeze this winter, very odd weather, but I guess that's everywhere
4:39 am
sprite
it was minor here as well. A few nights of light freeze, and a few days around 0 celcius.
4:42 am
sprite
oh, nice, being like Shrek is actually a word. I tried it for the heck of it :D
4:42 am
rubyfoo
we had many days around 0 C, but the ground never froze and the fishpone had ice very briefly. One year, it was about a foot deep
4:43 am
rubyfoo
fishpone sounds like a yucky Southern dish.
4:43 am
rubyfoo
fishpone sounds like a yucky Southern dish.
4:43 am
sprite
our winters are usually a lot harsher too. It was mild in temps this year. But wet, wet, wet. I prefer a bit of a freeze with the sun in the sky, tbh.
4:43 am
sprite
hehehe doesn't sound inviting, no
4:47 am
sprite
and the shrek word can be lengthened too. Yay.
4:52 am

must be off, alas. *hugs* dear friend. Take care of yourself. And stay warm. :)

Uneaixoise
salut, ruby! Reading back thru chat . . . how cool that painting is one of your MANY talents . . would love to see some of your work :-)
5:52 am
rubyfoo
Bonjour, une. I didn't mean to brag, but it was just the two of us and she asked...
5:53 am
rubyfoo
I have a coupe of photos that I can send to you, Une
5:53 am
Uneaixoise
nonsense -- not bragging at all!
5:54 am
rubyfoo
I just had to explain that I don't do landscapes, would just rather look at them
5:54 am
Uneaixoise
Maybe you or someone else could scan some and share with fellow Babblers?
5:55 am
rubyfoo
hmm, I'll have to ask one of my tech-competennt friends
5:55 am
Uneaixoise
that would be a treat for us ALL! :-)
5:55 am
Uneaixoise
BRB -- must feed the pups :-)
5:55 am
rubyfoo
you think?
5:56 am
MollyL
If you can email them to Une, then you have them on your computer. Just join a photo site, like Dropshots and you can upload them there.
5:57 am
rubyfoo
I'll see if I can do it
5:57 am
MollyL
As with any image, remember that once you post it on the internet, people can get their hands on it and do with it what they wish.
5:58 am
rubyfoo
That happened to me years ago, in Binghamton. I used an owl drawing of mine on an invitation to an exhibit and a locl furniture store used it for its "night owl sale"
5:59 am
MollyL
People think it's "safe" to post photos on Facebook because they only allow "friends" on their page. Alas, those "friends" can copy any photo and send it to whoever they want.
6:00 am
rubyfoo
I've read about that and rarely puts anything in FB except birthday greetings or comments on other people's entries
6:01 am
rubyfoo
I don't think anything is safe
6:01 am
rubyfoo
I'm sorry for the typos
6:01 am
MollyL
It concerns me that people post photos of their children on social media pages. There are too many nutjobs out there.
6:10 am
Uneaixoise
howdy molly -- lovely flowers in your icon! :-)
6:12 am
rubyfoo
My "helper" just arrived with my mail and groceries.
6:13 am
MollyL
I wish they were growing outside my window. Alas, we are having one last gasp of winter with a few inches of (gross) snow.
6:13 am
rubyfoo
She's an angel and the dogs love her
6:14 am
Uneaixoise
have some potted amaryllis blooming inside . . . outside: some hyacinths and a few daffodils :-)
6:14 am
Uneaixoise
so cool, ruby!
6:15 am
rubyfoo
Here,too, Molly. If Spring doesn't come soon, all the things in bud will just wilt
6:20 am
MollyL
Well, on the positive side, it is supposed to be 72 degrees next Wednesday. Hell yeah.
6:21 am
rubyfoo
Get out the summer clothes!
6:22 am
MollyL
Always one to make the best of a bad situation, I took today off and I'm home making a pot of red sauce.
6:24 am

Sounds like a good plan

6:51 am

Elsewhere, earlier this week, I was called out for spelling everything out instead of using the abbreviations. I can't win.
6:51 am
car.eeyore
Very good.
6:52 am
MollyL
Wow Car, that is a shame. As a lover of words, I am not big on abbreviations.
6:53 am
car.eeyore
It was a young person. Clearly, reading all those extra letters was making them tired.
7:01 am
car.eeyore
Gorgeous flowers, Molly!
7:02 am
MollyL
Aren't they? I wish I had a whole garden full of them.
7:02 am
car.eeyore
The look like they smell yummy
7:05 am

I'm sure the hyacinth do. None of the others have a smell. They just look pretty.
7:06 am

Hyacinths are a personal favorite of mine
7:07 am

They are gorgeous and they smell good. How can you not love them?
7:08 am

7:10 am
bichon
I need to replant some more
7:15 am
MollyL
It is fun for me to plant bulbs because I forget I did it in the Fall until they start sprouting in the Spring. And then I have a little surprise. : D
7:17 am
car.eeyore
Can you plant bulbs in beds that have mulch on them?
7:20 am
MollyL
Sure, why would mulch be a problem?
7:20 am
car.eeyore
I didn't think plants/weeds could grow through it
7:23 am
MollyL
Mulch helps to control weeds, but most hardy plants will come up through it.

It's my day off so I did not have to wake to an alarm, I can Babble for a bit, then I will walk at a park with a friend, have lunch, and we will play ping-pong. Good day ahead.
7:54 am
EvaNadine

7:55 am
Scrabbler
I think you are the person that introduced me to Mumford & Sons a few years ago, after you attended a concert, and I am eternally grateful, for I love their music.
7:55 am
EvaNadine
oh! im so happy to hear that!
theyre truly amazing -- and SO FABULOUS live!
7:59 am
Scrabbler
Back from a phone call. I watch their videos a lot. I got their Wilder Mind CD for myself for Xmas and have listened to it everyday since then.
8:00 am
Anniebrook
Reading this, I must buy Mumford and Sons CD
8:00 am
EvaNadine
so much of marcus mumfords songwriting comes straight from literature, so its a really good group for folks who love to read. :)
8:00 am
EvaNadine
good morning, annie!
8:01 am
Anniebrook
Hi Eva :)
8:01 am
Scrabbler
Marcus' voice is so soothing, just like REM's Michael Stipe.
8:01 am
Scrabbler
Hi Annie. :-)
8:02 am
Anniebrook
Hi Scrabbs, snowing here
8:02 am
EvaNadine
on their newest album, theyre more plugged in + electric. i dont dislike it, but i really do love their earlier work with things more intimate.
when we saw them, there was no drummer onstage -- marcus was singing with his guitar + a kickdrum.
8:02 am
Scrabbler
My sister in northern New Jersey just sent a text msg about the snow there, Annie.
8:03 am
EvaNadine
we got some snow down here last night as well!
8:03 am
Scrabbler
Eva, I miss the banjo and acoustic sound, yet I love this 3rd album too.
8:12 am
Anniebrook
be back later
8:12 am
Scrabbler
Bye Annie
8:23 am

It always amazes me that something I found, zip! when I searched for an image with a particular description is never available again on the same search! And there's often no point keeping a file somewhere - that's inevitably the file that is re-organized out of existence on one of the computer's updates.

The great thing is that there is an infinite number of cat images out there - just takes patience to find a really good one. But of course, that doesn't make up for the lost ones!

Hi Judi. I'm hoping we just got winter's last hurrah. Bring on Spring.

hi nef
10:15 pm
Nef
How's it going ru? getting your house organized yet?
10:17 pm
rururocks
yes.. slowly but surely
10:18 pm
Nef
Do you have one room done yet?
10:19 pm
rururocks
no... not yet
10:19 pm
rururocks
still have a lot of big stuff to move.
10:20 pm
rururocks
kitchen is almost set up though
10:20 pm
Nef
how about the boxes for one room in the right place?
10:21 pm
rururocks
I'm slowly moving in.. so I'm putting stuff away each day.. no clutter and no big stack of boxes.
10:21 pm
Nef
I'd probably get my bedroom set up before the kitchen myself (sleep is that important to me!)
10:22 pm
Nef
That's a good way to do it if you have time.
10:23 pm
rururocks
I have to have work done under the house and the only entrance to under the house is in my bedroom.. so that will have to wait. I have a guest bedroom I can sleep in .. in the meantime
10:27 pm
Nef
When we moved into our house (23 years ago now!); a friend of mine had spent a number of years setting up new franchises for restaurants. I got sick right when we moved; so she & another friend came over & she set up my kitchen in 2 - 3 hours (it would have taken me a week). Believe it or not; I've never changed a single storage space in all those 23 years; it's just so easy to find things there
10:28 pm
Nef
And I'm a lefty & she's right-handed! (It's a basic 1950's galley kitchen; so not much storage at all either)
10:32 pm
rururocks
I'm sure I will figure it out. I haven't decided where everything goes yet
10:33 pm
rururocks
I do have a lot of kitchen storage space which I'm really thankful of. I do a lot of cooking
10:36 pm
Nef
NICE! My hubby loves kitchen gadgets; so our small appliances have spilled into a closet & and a bookshelf in the room next to the kitchen (one of those dining /bedroom or study rooms that was common in 1950's ramblers back then)
10:36 pm
dcseain
I have a large industrial rack that is most of my storage. I have a few things in drawers, and a very few things in other cabinets. But i also live i n a small 1960s house with two adults and a teenager.
10:37 pm
dcseain
evening, nef, ruru
10:38 pm

10:40 pm
dcseain

10:42 pm

10:43 pm
dcseain
and i've planned a ton of travel for this year: a weekend in Baltimore; a week on a mountain in NY, two weeks visiting Des Moines, KC, Chicago, Cleveland, and family in Central Ohio. Sacramento in September.
10:46 pm
Nef
Des Moines? That is about 4-5 hours from the Twin Cities. Will you be there the full 2 weeks or is that your intinery for your 2 weeks off?
10:49 pm
dcseain
i'll be in Des Moines the evenening of the 22-26 July mid-day, then off to Kansas City, KS.
10:52 pm
Nef
If you have the time; (& depending on DH's health then) we might be able to head down there to meet up. But that depends on your schedule & hubby's health.
10:56 pm
dcseain
i could easily meet yall for a lunch or dinner. I'm going to Des Moines for retail geeking. I'll have most of Friday Day free, and can arrange to meet yall over that weekend at some point if possible. :) It would be nice to meet in person.
10:59 pm
Nef
Yeah, we've kind of "known" each other for over 10 years now! :-D
11:00 pm
Nef
We'll pencil it in and as time gets closer; we can see how things are going then.
11:01 pm
dcseain
sounds like a plan.
