Just read a story on MSN about large graffiti carved at Arches National Park in Utah. Very infuriating! How could anyone be so selfish!
9:34 am
rururocks
that is a serious crime.. that's so awful.. it's been done before
9:35 am
LuvWordGames
yes the article said it's an ongoing problem in all the parks
9:35 am
LuvWordGames
unfortunately the penalty is only 6 months in jail and a $5,000 fine. Seems like it shoulld be more
9:35 am
Scrabbler
Awful. Probably young drunkards did it.
9:36 am
EvaNadine
hints for the corner-E?
9:36 am

they said they don't think this one can be removed because it's so deeply carved

I hope they do something to protect our parks
9:40 am
LuvWordGames
although it's sad that they have to
9:40 am
rururocks
yes.. they need to increase the budgets to have more rangers
9:40 am
rururocks
the Arches is one of the most beautiful parks in the region.
9:40 am
LuvWordGames
it was bad enough when people were carving their names in picnic tables but this is permanent
9:41 am

I've been to Yosemite and the Grand Canyon
9:44 am
LuvWordGames
Have you been to Calavaris (sp?) Big Trees State Park, ruru? I liked that better for seeing the Redwoods than Yosemite
9:45 am
rururocks
yes. sequoias near Yosemite is also incredible.
9:45 am
rururocks
the best redwoods are near arcata and Eureka in Nor Cal
9:45 am

I don't understand the drive of doing graffiti
9:49 am
LuvWordGames

9:54 am

have been advised to limit to 1 per day - so far, I'm losing that battle
10:38 am
rururocks
you can't drink coffee eva?
10:38 am
flosey
ahhh, I do remember, I couldn't stand the smell of it when I was pregnant - so many years ago
10:42 am
rururocks
<--is glad he will never get pregnant
10:43 am
flosey
ahhh ru, it was frightening!!! for a heavy coffee drinker
10:45 am
rururocks
I drink two to three cups per day..stop before noon. I can't drink it after twelve or I can't sleep at night
10:47 am
flosey
perhaps I should try that, sleep does not come easily for me - can fall asleep reading though! but never in bed
10:50 am
rururocks
that's what worked for me with Trial and error flosey
10:50 am

Hello again everyone
10:51 am
flosey
ah, now that sounds like a good idea Nan
10:52 am
flosey
and limit the coffee to 1 a day - as I have been advised!!!!!!!! but so difficult
10:53 am
cybernan
maybe 2 teas and no coffee?
10:53 am
flosey
good thought but not easy Nan, have been drinking coffee since age 12
10:54 am
flosey
coffee was rationed during WW11, and ration coupons were given at age 12!!!
10:55 am
cybernan
only time I drink coffee is when it is really hot and I can have it iced with lots of sugar! --- it always seems to smell better than it tastes
10:55 am
flosey
mother could not argue with that!!
10:55 am
cybernan
would much rather have a cup of murchie's earl grey
10:56 am
flosey
tea just doesn't have the same satisfaction - although it is more refreshing
10:57 am
flosey
I do like earl grey - we have a tiny tea shop in Sidney - just across the water!
10:58 am
cybernan
no doubt coffee had to taste better than powdered milk to a 12 year old
10:59 am
flosey
ugh, we never did use that powdered stuff, milk was still delivered to the door back then
10:59 am
cybernan
do they sell Murchie's tea, flosey?
10:59 am
cybernan
oh - my cousins in Scotland said that there were times when they couldn't get fresh milk during the war and had to use powdered
11:00 am
flosey
no, this gal is independent, does her own buying - I buy her earl grey
11:00 am
rururocks
I avoid milk
11:01 am
cybernan
if you haven't tried Murchie's -- go to their Victoria store - their teas are the best I've ever had.
11:01 am
cybernan
milk is good for you, mikey
11:02 am
flosey
I have Nan, Janet's is just as good
11:02 am
flosey
and closer!
11:02 am
cybernan
mmm -- too bad I never get to Sidney then!
11:03 am
cybernan
Nice part about Murchie's is that I can order on line and they will ship it to me
11:04 am
flosey
of course Nan, they are a much bigger and older establishment
11:05 am
flosey
I remember when I first came to Victoria, I did buy Murchies (back in 1961)
11:05 am
cybernan
yes - Discovered them when I went to UBC and have been drinking that brand ever since -- even found a shop in Quebec that carried it when we lived there

1:12 pm
EvaNadine
i dont speak to the HR folks about it until 2 months before my due date, but i think its ok.
FMLA guarantees me up to 16 weeks, but thats unpaid.
i have short-term disability. theres some confusion over whether thats 8 or 12 weeks, so i will figure that out. thats paid, thankfully.
1:12 pm
cybernan
hi all -- back to try for the finish
1:12 pm
EvaNadine
plus, my boss is fairly flexible with offering telework in situations like this, so i might do some of that before little man comes as well as when im transitioning back to the office.
1:13 pm
hurshy
that's good
1:13 pm
Judi
Short term disab. kicks in after you've used up any current vacation and/or sick time.
1:14 pm

i just saw a thing yesterday about how the US and Papua New Guinea are the only countries that don't have paid maternity leave
1:14 pm
Judi
Nah. Gotta be more countries than that.
1:15 pm
EvaNadine
there is a 7 calendar-day waiting period before STD kicks in, so i will have to take leave for that.

i am trying to get to 300 and it's very slow going!
1:29 pm
swmbo
Cadfan, are the winters in MN much like Colorado?
1:29 pm
hego
Cad, yes, why did you move?
1:30 pm
mattygroves
I grew up in NY - I would happily live my life without seeing another flake of snow. The problem with London, though is the chaos that ensues if there is even a dusting of snow. 'With drifts of 2 inches'!!!
1:30 pm
CadFan
The company hubs works for closed the plant he worked in. Rather than accept severance and try to find something new he applied for a transfer... in Minnesota. The company had 10 plants they would allow transfers to. Hubs figured, our kids are grown, why not have an adventure.
1:31 pm
hego
in Minnesota!
1:31 pm
Judi
Hmm. Interesting interpretation of "adventure".
1:31 pm
bichon
Some people are such wusses about snow
1:31 pm

Didn't really experience much winter in MN this year. However.. it gets and stays MUCH colder MUCH longer here than in CO.
1:31 pm

Have you found work too Cadfan?

I am into other adventures personally
1:31 pm
CadFan
I'm with you Judi. Had a job in Mankato for a bit - that did not work out, start with a new place next Monday in Owatonna, we'll see how it goes.
1:32 pm
hurshy
what kind of work are you doing, cadfan
1:32 pm
Judi
Good luck, Cadfan. Looking for a new job is more like torture than adventure.
1:33 pm
Nef
Hego & Judi, there's a lot of stuff to do here in MN that can be adventurous
1:33 pm
swmbo
As a native Nova Scotian, I am inured to almost anything winter can throw at us. We get lots of wet, windy, snowy weather with often horrendous driving conditions.

I agree with you on that!
1:35 pm

What type of things do you enjoy doing, Cad?

Hi Soodle; (I'd taken a short break for a few minutes there)
4:21 pm

4:27 pm

Nef, all clues are appreciated and I got the word from your clue
4:27 pm

you did fine nef: i got it from your clue
4:28 pm
Nef
I love gold finches, dc. We have them here in the summer.
4:29 pm
dcseain
we do too, but they're not terribly common. But which songbirds are common varies a lot in this region i've learned, having lived across i wide swath of it.
4:29 pm
Nef
I have birds making nests on my outdoor entry lights on 3 of our 4 doors right now. The robin is really making a very messy nest with fibers hanging 4 to 5 feet down from the base of the nest
4:29 pm
dcseain
I once saw a pair of American bluebirds in Reston, VA in early Sep.
4:30 pm
dcseain
robins make horribly messy nests, indeed!
4:31 pm
Nef
I haven't seen any bluebirds here; but I know that they are here (there are bird houses about a block from here & the owner says that they are in the area.
4:34 pm
dcseain
hummingbirds and woodpeckers are very common in the locale i live in now -- near Woodbridge, VA. I grew up thinking both common.
4:35 pm
dcseain
i can still identify three different woodpeckers by the rhythm of their pecking.
4:39 pm

Ah , Luv ... Many thanks!

We've had 6 different types of woodpeckers here in the past. But now that we had to take down our beautiful maple tree, we haven't had any (it was hit by lightning & the top was hollow & would have fallen on our house).

Yes, I think I am going to retire. I will have to get another job for a couple of years. But at least my BP, incipient ulcer and teeth grinding will improve!
