i haven't been eating carbs and i just really wanted some pasta
12:51 am

I have 68 and just barely started as well
8:53 am
lilliann
I'm sitting outside as it is a lovely day and a man is strimming all the grass outside the school and he's stopping and starting and now getting really annoying.Plus the parents have started to arrive to pick up their kids who can't walk up the street to where there is off street parking and the little/big lovelies will walk past in about 10 minutes shouting,swearing and throwing their rubbish everywhere and the coaches will be coming and going!What joy!!I think i might go in until everyone's gone.
8:54 am
MLFAN17
sounds like a fun neighborhood lillian
8:54 am

It's lovely when they are in school or on holidays!

8:56 am
MLFAN17
does anyone have jo8?
8:57 am
lilliann
No, but they have teacher training days before the holidays normally so finish mid week.My bairn's school finished last Thursday but she finished 3 weeks earlier after her exams.My next door neighbours grand daughter finishes today.
8:57 am
lilliann
Not yet, but will look

It'll be lovely for about 7 weeks.Now some man went to park in front of my gates even though i have a big red sign saying disabled access needed.I just gave him such a look so he reversed and is now parked outside my neighbours gate instead.Some people are just so ignorant!
9:01 am
lilliann
Have you found it Mlf? I'm still looking

Hi Judi.
9:36 am
lilliann
It's very muggy here today.we have a slight breeze but i'm still sweating buckets.I have all the doors and windows in the house to cool it down but it isn't doing much.I shouldn't complain because apparently we're getting more rain tomorrow.
9:41 am
MLFAN17
glad everything is going well eva have fun on your vacation
9:41 am
rolin
lilliann... opening the windows too early is the mistake most u people make..
9:42 am
MLFAN17
why is that rolin?
9:43 am
lilliann
It puts fresh air in the house aswell Rolin but i'm sat outside in the shade at the moment.
9:44 am
lilliann
Saying that i'm getting all the flies in the house too
9:45 am
MLFAN17
its as hot sitting in the sun as it is sitting in the shade here
9:45 am
rolin
but the air is still warm/hot... as an aussie... i close the house down after 8am... trapping the cooler night air inside... close the blinds against where the sun is which for me is the front... that keeps the house cool til the time the air cools and then open all the windows particularly to take the air out from upstairs
9:47 am
MLFAN17
we keep the windows closed all the time
9:47 am
lilliann
Thanks Rolin. I do close all the blinds in the rooms that the sun comes into.It's the back for me.
9:47 am
Judi
Central air conditioning is a beautiful thing.
9:48 am
MLFAN17
as long as it can keep up with the temps outside judi lol but better then not having it at all
9:48 am
rolin
and of course there's always the standing fans... central airconditioning in houses is not an option here Judi.... it gets hot so rarely.. and very very rarely for any longer than two or three days together
9:49 am
MLFAN17
judi maybe we should move where rolin lives?lol
9:49 am
Judi
Central heat/air is essential here in the mid-atlantic region of the U.S.
9:49 am
lilliann
I have a standing fan which i have to have on everynight and all night because of hot flushes, but that doesn't always help if the air is still warm because it's just circulating it.
9:50 am
rolin
oooh hot flushes are SUCH fun in this weather aren;t they?
9:50 am
MLFAN17
Lillian that does not sound good
9:50 am
lilliann
You wouldn't like it Mlf as it's too cold and wet.
9:50 am
MLFAN17
lilian oh that is the alternative?
9:51 am
lilliann
Yes, i'm just loving them Rolin....NOT!!
9:51 am
Judi
Would love to visit the UK but couldn't live there. Too rainy. It would not be good for me as I am prone to seasonal depression.
9:52 am
MLFAN17
seasonal depression?
9:52 am
lilliann
We do get some nice weather but everything is so green over here because of the rain.
9:52 am
rolin
well apart from the three year break of HRT... ive been dealing with them for ten years
9:52 am
MLFAN17
I visited London for 8 days years ago at the time they had one holiday.. Mum's Day

9:54 am

However, we used to live in upstate NY. Weather was very similar to the UK and Seattle WA. SO glad we moved. Don't miss the snow either.

I would love to live somewhere hot and sunny.I'm normally a sun goddess but i must admit since menopause i can't sit/lie in it as much as i use to
9:56 am
MLFAN17
judi, when hubby and I lived in our condo we had no a/c on hottest day and no heat on the coldest day
9:56 am
72 Temple Owl

beautiful 20C (70 American) here. We generally fling the windows open by mid-April, and do not close them again till the snow flies. fans only No a/c or central a/c
9:57 am

it's not the heat, it's the humidity.

Yes humidity isn't nice
9:59 am
72 Temple Owl

10:01 am

10:01 am
MLFAN17

10:32 am
Uneaixoise

10:32 am

I hope it doesn't take long for someone to adopt as he looks like he could be a good family dog
10:32 am
Uneaixoise
La Mancha!!!
10:32 am
Judi
Ha! Small world! They are a wonderful organization.
10:33 am
Uneaixoise
lilliann, he'll be adopted quickly -- in any case, until he's adopted he'll be living with a loving foster family :-)
10:33 am
Judi
Our husky/border collie mix came there via Kentucky.
10:33 am
lilliann
There you are Judi.Do you want another dog?
10:34 am
Judi
lol. No thanks. Have the dog and three casts. House busting at the seams.
10:34 am
Judi
Cats rather.
10:34 am
Uneaixoise
quite a few dogs come thru TN and KY heading in that direction :-)
10:35 am
Uneaixoise
ok -- BBL :-)
10:35 am
Judi
Speaking of dogs, ours got sprayed by a skunk AGAIN last night. 2nd time in a month.
10:35 am
lilliann
That's good Une.I'd love to be a foster animal carer but can't walk the dogs and i don't think my cat would like anymore feline friends as she goes on guard duty every night to stop other cats coming in her garden!
10:36 am
lilliann
Yes, it does sound like you have your hands full Judi.Husky and border collie is quite a mix
10:37 am
rururocks
imagines a big pile of snow sleds rounded up by the dog at Judi's house
10:37 am
Judi
She is such a love, lilliann. Is quiet and calm and so well behaved. We really must break her of this skunk attraction though.
10:37 am
lilliann
Oh nice!! Not!! I take it he had to have a nice bubbly shower
10:38 am
Judi
She got doused with white vinegar and rinsed off. Otherwise, she's due for another vinegar treatment and bath tonight.
10:38 am
lilliann
You would have thought after the first time she wouldn't have bothered again.Perhaps she likes the smell :D
10:39 am
lilliann
Why white vinegar.Will dog shampoo not do?
10:39 am
Judi
I blame my husband. He left her unattended in the SUV - with the gate open - while he ran inside to grab something. In that short amount of time, Pepe wandered by and Luna decided to jump out and investigate.
10:40 am
Judi
Shampoo doesn't even begin to neutralize skunk smell. Need something astringent.
10:40 am
lilliann
I'd make him do the treatments
10:42 am
lilliann
Poor thing what with smelling like a skunk and then a fish and chip supper, i don't think anything will go near her for a while!
10:43 am
Judi
Oh, believe me, he gets to do all the doggie related chores.
10:43 am
lilliann
We have a young couple that walks by here every night with 2 beautiful huskies.One of them always sticks their heads through my gate either looking for or at the cat but it never barks at her.
10:44 am
rururocks
I love Doggy related chores
10:45 am
Judi
She definitely does not like the smell. She's gotten in full in the face these last two times. Rubs her face and body all over the ground for quite a while afterwards. I would imagine it stings when it gets in her eyes.
10:46 am
lilliann
Yes, i would think that could be really painful.Do you have a lot of skunks near you? isn't there something to deter them?
10:48 am
Judi
Seems to go in cycles. Some years it seems like they're everywhere. Other years, we hardly see or smell them at all. I don't know of anything that deters skunks. They know they're badass.
10:48 am
bichon
We have a lot of skunks here, especially by our bedroom window (((
10:49 am
Judi
Unfortunately, they seem to be abundant this year.
10:49 am
Trifioso
hello friends. leave out day for Ireland - I am a nervous MESS
10:49 am

skunks and woodchucks and chipmunks
10:49 am

You're going to have so much fun
10:50 am
lilliann
What's a woodchuck Bichon?
10:50 am
rururocks
why nervous?
10:50 am
Trifioso
I'm not such a good flyer, and being the only adult is making me wicked nervous
10:50 am
Judi
Trif - you will do fine. You are going to have a blast and so will the kids.
10:50 am
Trifioso
plus the world has been....unsettling lately
10:50 am
lilliann
Hi Trif.You'll have a great time.Don't you like flying?
10:50 am
rururocks
take a Xanax trifoso
10:50 am
Trifioso
I don't
10:50 am
Trifioso
I got Benadryl!
10:51 am
rururocks
I love flying.. hopefully you'll bring a nice book and read that
10:51 am
lilliann
Have a couple of stiff drinks and have a sleep.
10:51 am
lilliann
How long is the flight Trif?
10:52 am
Trifioso
7 hours, I think?
10:52 am
Judi
I'm guessing the worst part will be security lines at the airports. An unenviable slog.
10:53 am
bichon
I just got Global Entry, goodbye lines
10:53 am
Trifioso
we leave from boston, fly to new York, and have a five hour wait between 6-11. we keep joking we are going to sneak into tonight's performance of Hamilton, but in reality we will probably be waiting in line all that time. Which is FINE with me - PLEASE, check each person CAREFULLY!!!!
10:54 am
Judi
You will not be waiting in line that long. Ditch the luggage and hang out in an airport pub and watch TV.
10:54 am
bichon
You can fly non stop to Ireland from Hartford
10:54 am
lilliann
That's a canny wait but yes, i'm with you Trif, i'd prefer to be in a queue, knowing that everyone is getting checked thoroughly than go through too quickly
10:55 am
Judi
Off to lunch. Bon voyage, Trif. Have a GREAT time!
10:56 am
lilliann
i normally get checked longer than my husband and bairn but they do have to pat me down in the chair and then swipe the chair
10:56 am
lilliann
Bye Judi.Enjoy your lunch
10:57 am
lilliann
Are you flying to Dublin or Belfast Trif?
10:57 am
Trifioso
shannon
10:58 am
Trifioso
thank GOD too, as mr hate is flying out of Dublin tomorrow. ugh!
10:58 am
Trifioso
his mum passed away last week, and he would not pay for the kids to change their tickets and go over a few days earlier, and "strongly felt" I should not attend her services. So the kids and I are doing our own private thing for her while we are there.
11:00 am
lilliann
Nice of him!That's probably better, that way you don't have to see him
11:00 am
Trifioso
seriously....just when I think he has done the lowest thing he can do, he always proves he can go one level lower.
11:02 am
lilliann
Some men are like that! I take it you will be seeing Soodle while you are there?How long are you going for?
11:04 am
Trifioso
we are just going for a week, because that is all a) we can afford and b) primo and his love could get off work, as they are both new in their careers. I AM meeting Soodle!!!! I am SO EXCITED!!!
11:04 am
Trifioso
Tertiare is bringing her beau too. Secondo has to earn school money, so she is up at school already, working at a non profit and waiting tables. She thought about going, but made her decision with integrity, so I support her.
11:05 am
Trifioso
taking a shower...brm
11:11 am
lilliann
Ah, it's a shame she couldn't go but good and sounds like a level headed hard working young lady.i'm sure she'll get there one day. I bet Soodle's is too.You'll have a great time!

Hi Soodle :-) Trif was on earlier and not looking forward to the journey to your lovely Country but she's really looking forward to meeting you and i think vice a versa
4:38 pm
periwinkle
hi soodele, hi all
4:40 pm
Soodle
(((Lilli, Peri))) yeah! Been chatting with Trif! Hopefully, Monday's the meet-up day! Cannot wait!
4:45 pm
Soodle
And, Lilli -I'll be back in the UK in early August. My sister is taking her 3 kids to the Harry Potter exhibition in London & I'm tagging along!
4:45 pm
lilliann
It'll be great.You'll have a lot to chat about.
4:47 pm
Soodle
It's great having stuff to look forward to!! 😊😄😊
4:47 pm
lilliann
If only you could come up north Soodle.I can't do London...Too many tunnels..
4:48 pm
Soodle
Lilli - I'm feeling very positive right now..... Anything is possible.
4:50 pm
lilliann
Hubby has been to Northern and Southern Ireland alot the last few months, and the bairn and i could have come over but flights went to quickly and that was a couple of weeks ago.
4:50 pm
lilliann
How long are you here for ?
4:52 pm
lilliann
Plus, the flight's too short for me, as i get dizzy taking off and sleep for a couple of hours, so i told hubby not to bother.I'd prefer him to take us when he's home for a while and we can go in the car and on the ferry
4:54 pm
lilliann
I'm better with long haul flights as i just sleep alot :-)
4:55 pm
Soodle
We're leaving Mon 1st August - back the following Thursday. My niece is 14 & nephews are 12 & 10. It'll be a busy few days. I'm really looking forward to it. I believe the WArner Bros Harry Potter thing is great.
4:58 pm
Soodle
Plus!! During this current heatwave, I persevered in my kitchen redoration. In 29 degree heat, I was still slapping up paint! I deserve a treat!!!

Aye, i think hubby has taken tourists to it.I know he's spoken about it.
4:59 pm

Yes you do hin and i bet the paint dried very quickly!
5:00 pm
Soodle
It sure did!
5:01 pm
lilliann
my bairn is up in Scotland at the moment with her Grandad.He wanted to go to Aberdeen as he wanted to go over the bridge(his words) but they went over 3.They went on monday and come back tomorrow lunch time.
5:02 pm
Soodle
Nice to sit back now & admire the fruits of my labours! So... You home alone too, Lil?
5:02 pm
lilliann
She keeps him going bless her and has done since she was born.
5:03 pm

Soodle
Apprehensive when my youngest took off for the Summer. But I find I enjoy my own company very well!
5:05 pm
lilliann
Without her he'd probably be dead now in a gutter,(my husband's word's) as after his wife died he went out drinking all the time and would fall over in the street and people would help him home.When i had the bairn it gave him something to live for.
5:07 pm
lilliann
Mine is going away to college in September and will be living there 5 weeks on and 2 off and i'm a bit apprehensive about it because she's not good at making friends and still young
5:10 pm
Soodle
I hear ya, Lilli! But - she'll be grand!!
5:10 pm
lilliann
She's been bullied alot in her life because of her hair colour but as i've told her and friends have said, she'll be with older people and others her age who are away from home.I really hope she makes some friends.
5:12 pm
lilliann
The problem is Soodle, she's so down on everything! I've never met such a pessimistic person in my life and her dad and me aren't like it.
5:15 pm
lilliann
She said that she'll be a loner as always and isn't there to make friends but to learn.I don't know where the hell she got that from!
5:27 pm
Soodle
shit. That's difficult, Lilli.
5:32 pm
hurshy
sometimes people react against what their parents are like.
5:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
there is such a thing as shyness and introversion. it is born in us, one cannot just snap out of it
5:33 pm
lilliann
I just don't know what to do.her dad,my parents' and friends' have spoken to her so i hope she's listened and will just relax and hopefully make a couple of friends atleast.The problem is she also judges people from the first time she sees them, which doesn't always help and i've told her never judge a book by it's cover
5:34 pm
lilliann
She's like me as she's quiet first when she first meets someone but after that she never stops talking
5:36 pm
lilliann
She's a moody teen which doesn't help
5:38 pm
MollyL
People who are somewhat shy and careful about who they interact with, usually make better friends in the long run. They don't believe in every yahoo they meet.
5:38 pm
lilliann
my daughter is definitely not shy or introvert TO
5:42 pm
lilliann
Very true Molly.She is very much like that.The problem is when she was younger she was very friendly but then when the bullying started she became withdrawn and didn't mix so much because she was scared of re-jection and even now she's had friends at school but wasn't in the mix so much.
5:43 pm
lilliann
I think that's the problem...she's afraid of being rejected
5:44 pm
72 Temple Owl
perhaps things will work out differently when she is there. no sense worrying now
5:45 pm
lilliann
So, if she's on her own, no-one can reject or ignore her.I'm really hoping that at college that will change as she won't have me nearby to keep her company, but there is always the phone.
5:45 pm
MollyL
We are all afraid of being rejected. Your daughter sounds like she has a strong sense of self. That will take her far.
"Being accepted" is not all it's cracked up to be.
5:45 pm
lilliann
I know TO.Fingers crossed.
5:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
i told a mother not to worry :/
5:48 pm
lilliann
She is a strong character and won't take crap from anyone now which also leads to people not wanting to talk to her as she can be quite scary...she comes across quite moody aswell
5:48 pm
lilliann
Aye, i'll stop worrying when i know she's settled :-)
5:49 pm
72 Temple Owl
first impression. important but not insurmountable.
5:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
going to see about dinner, now that the AC is back on. hope it holds out, cannot afford the replacement at the moment. will be first dinner in three days.
5:52 pm
lilliann
Well, hopefully all will be great. I'm not normally a worrier as i always say, 'there's no point in worrying until something happens'. I should listen to myself!
5:52 pm
lilliann
Glad it's working again To.Keep cool hin :-)
5:53 pm
lilliann
Enjoy your dinner too.
5:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
it is going to be brutal for the next week at least.
5:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
you like sun but you would NOT like this.
5:55 pm
lilliann
I don't like humidity like it was here today. Fingers crossed it keeps working for you as it's not nice to be hot and sweaty!
5:57 pm
Soodle
Lilli - my youngest was exactly as you described your bairn. Introverted, self sufficient. She was forced into being outgoing - and n
5:59 pm
Soodle
is reaping the rewards now
6:01 pm
Soodle
It took a lot of effort on her part, but she is in a happy place now.
6:02 pm
lilliann
Good for her Soodle, hopefully my bairn will be the same, but she has to stop being angry at people first.

8:47 pm
marilyn992
its easy
8:49 pm
jesdraggon
but i used to do puzzles all the time, and now have no space to lay them out and if I did i'd have cats running off with pieces, so i haven't done any in years...
