Good morning, Sukee.

5:12 am

rubyfoo

I hope you'e having a better day!

5:13 am

sukee

Feeling slightly better, as I predicted, I have a cough.

5:14 am

rubyfoo

My housekeeper has a nasty cough, for sevral days now. I hoper I don't catch whatever it is!

5:14 am

rubyfoo

She keeps saying that since she has no fever, she's not contagious

5:15 am

sukee

The is another thing, my fever is gone. Yesterday it almost got up to 39C.

5:16 am

rubyfoo

I don't recognize metric temps, but that looks high. What is normal?

5:16 am

sukee

that is about 103

5:16 am

rubyfoo

OOph, that's high, but I guess it means your ody is fighting

5:17 am

sukee

I looked it up, that is considered a medium-high temperature. they said 104 is when you should find a doctor.

5:20 am

sukee

Exciting baseball game tonight. My team is playing one game to see if they are officially in the playoffs.

5:22 am

mattygroves

Hey Ruby, how do you get on in France in F only? Most of Europe uses C....? (My mother came to visit when I was pregnant and decided to cook a roast dinner. She approached me in horror and said 'the oven only goes up to 250 - we'll be here all night! I reassured her that was Celsius, and 180C is fine)

5:23 am

rubyfoo

No baseball on TV here, even with a satellite; I think it's too complicated for the French to understand.

5:23 am

rubyfoo

That's funny, Matty. I manage with most things, oven for example.

5:24 am

rubyfoo

But areas or distances are difficult but at least I understand my weight. LOL

5:25 am

rubyfoo

When I first came here, an American friend who visited made me a little crib note for the oven, but I've bee, here almost 18 years!

5:33 am

mattygroves

In the UK, weirdly, we still use feet and miles (though if you want to order from Ikea, tis best to know metric!)

5:34 am

mattygroves

I think in both - funnily enough, for very hot temperatures (weather hot, not oven hot), I still find F easier but can do both. Somehow 90 sounds hotter than 30something

5:34 am

sukee

Off to get some breakfast, I actually have an appetite again.

5:35 am

rubyfoo

I estimate temps, 5 C= 10 F, close enogu "for jazz" lol

5:35 am

rubyfoo

Bye Sukee

5:36 am

rubyfoo

I guess in the UK, the mÃ©lange is used. Here, nobody know anything but metric or French. Nobody in my village, except for the rare snowbirds, speks English

5:47 am

mattygroves

15C=59F - I tend to start from there (and, of course the easy one - 0C=32F)

5:47 am

rubyfoo

What could be nicer -- the cold sun is shining, the fire is alight, my Rufie is lying at my feet, etc. etc.!

5:49 am

rubyfoo

and, of course, Babble and Matty!

5:52 am

rubyfoo

I am always surprised that lilo isn't allowed.Over here a lilo is a blow up mattress. We once had a very good comedy where husbands girlfriend was always referred to as Lilo Lil which is a term that is still used for an shall we say easy lay and I think it is brilliant!!

8:09 am

Hah! Have you ever seen the clip from the Tonys (I think) from a few years ago with Neil Patrick Harris threatening to play Angry Birds with a real, livid chicken?

10:14 am

*waves to Bugs*

10:59 am

Bugsaw

waves back to ruru and all lurkers. I got up early to go to a meeting that was cancelled. Lucky me

10:59 am

Bugsaw

hope you are safe from earthquakes, fires and all other disasters that plague California

11:01 am

rururocks

we're expecting an earthquake at some point.. there's been a lot of activity.. hope it doesn't happen when Doren is here.

11:02 am

Bugsaw

when will that be?

11:02 am

rururocks

she's coming next week to visit her son

11:03 am

Bugsaw

Mr Bugs said he heard there were warnings for you this weekend but I thought he was making it up

11:03 am

Bugsaw

we should be preparing up here too then. Apparently the whole west coast is connected somehow

11:03 am

rururocks

there are warnings.. particularly in SO Cal. (i'll be down there Thursday and Friday. Doren comes here early next week. I hope the weather holds

11:04 am

rururocks

If I'm crushed in a building It has been fun knowing you :D

11:04 am

Bugsaw

I have never heard of warnings before but it makes sense.

11:04 am

rururocks

the San Andreas Fault (the big fault) is acting up.. not a good sign

11:05 am

MLFAN17

some places have sirens if I am not mistaken?

11:05 am

Bugsaw

we have sirens for tsumami warnings MLFAN but I am north of California

11:05 am

bichon

Mr. Bich was in the one in Northridge in '95. He said the water in the pool was splashing out

11:06 am

MLFAN17

i assume you don't hear them too often then Bugs?

11:07 am

MLFAN17

we have felt an aftershock from an earthquake once since living here

11:08 am

Bugsaw

we are in no imminent danger where I am on the east coast of Vancouver Island, but there are lots of sirens and escape routes mapped out on the west coast of the island.

11:08 am

bichon

I remember one day sitting for grandson and there was a tornado warning. I took him into the bathtub for some reason. It never made landfall

11:08 am

Bugsaw

we are still getting debris floating up on our beaches from the mega quake in Japan a few years back

11:08 am

Bugsaw

tornados frighten me much more

11:08 am

Bugsaw

glad we don't have those

11:09 am

rururocks

the hurricane in the Caribbean looks pretty scary too

11:09 am

MollyL

The bathtub is a recommended place to go during a tornado. It's a construction thing. The bathtub is generally the structurally safest place in the home.

11:10 am

bichon

Thans for validating that Molly

11:10 am

bichon

I'm assuming Eva had her baby?

11:10 am

rururocks

yes she did a big boy

11:10 am

MLFAN17

that is; true molly

11:10 am

MLFAN17

ruru when did she have the baby?

11:10 am

bichon

she was expecting that

11:10 am

MollyL

Ooo yes Bich. Look at her profile, she posted a picture.

11:11 am

Bugsaw

did she share his name? Old fashioned ones seem to be coming back in

11:11 am

Bugsaw

I have a new grandson named Stanley

11:12 am

MLFAN17

congrats bugsaw

11:13 am

MLFAN17

i love that outfit on her baby

11:13 am

Bugsaw

thanks ML. He came as a package deal with his mother. My son loves them both and I am happy for them all

11:13 am

bichon

Congrats Bugsaw

11:14 am

MLFAN17

well Bugsaw i don't believe the stork stories so i am glad the mom was there too:)

11:14 am

MollyL

I think that means her son married a woman with a child MLF

11:15 am

Bugsaw

lol ML

11:15 am

bichon

How old is Stanley?

11:15 am

MLFAN17

oh:)

11:16 am

Bugsaw

he did Molly. It took him a long time to committ because he knew he did not ever want to hurt the little boy if they broke up. Stanley is 5 and loves my boy to death

11:16 am

MLFAN17

i keep wanting to spell granola and i know the grid doesn't have an r

11:17 am

MollyL

I think it is commendable that your son gave the whole thing a good deal of thought. So many people jump into things without thinking and that can lead to unhappy places.

11:18 am

MLFAN17

Ti8?

11:19 am

Bugsaw

thank you Molly. I am very proud of his too. I agree that too many young people are more concerned with their needs first and fail to see how much the children are affected by having people come in and out of their lives.

11:19 am

MLFAN17

too true Bugsaw

11:20 am

Bugsaw

no idea ML

11:21 am

MLFAN17

nancy hope the power stays on for you!

11:28 am

bichon

A lot o people have gotten back up generators here

11:29 am

NANCY

I know, but they are expensive and are used so seldom.

11:30 am

bichon

Well, if you've never lived through an ice storm in December and had no power for days, it's a wise investment

11:30 am

NANCY

No ice storms here, thank God.

11:31 am

bichon

It was brutal

11:31 am

NANCY

I am originally from Michigan so I DID live through huge snowstorms and ice storms. That is why I live in Florida now,

11:32 am

bichon

We cooked out in the garage on a camp stove. We also closed off our kitchen from the rest of the house. It has a fireplacce and existed like that.

11:32 am

bichon

Florida is warm, no snow. But those rising sea levels.

11:32 am

MLFAN17

and the temps can drop there too.

11:33 am

MLFAN17

you can also get storms if you live in the upper part of the state from ga and Louisiana too

11:33 am

bichon

Mr. Bich grew up in South Florida. No heat, no AC

11:34 am

NANCY

Yes, we cant wait for the cooler temps. All original northerners LIVE for the month of OCT to MAY.

11:35 am

11:38 am

Deeha

I read an amazing book once cant remember the author or title but it was about America caught in a sort of ice age and every autumn people in the north all had to move south til the spring. The scientist working on the conditions and how to live them went slowly mad I suppose and believed himself more and more Christ like until he was waling the country barefoot coolecting followers. It sounds odd but it was a beautiful book that made me cry

11:39 am

MLFAN17

12:57 pm

MollyL

I would love to have a freezer, but I will never get one unless I can back it up with a generator in a power failure. I couldn't take losing an entire freezer full of food. It is too big of an investment.

1:25 pm

bichon

We had a freezer when I used to do vegetable gardner [much younger me and house with a big sunny back yard]

3:06 pm

Nef

Oh, dear. I've been buried in the grid (& texting with kids) & just now noticed what I'd posted to MLF.
That was supposed to be HAGD, ML; but it wasn't, was it?

3:10 pm

Nef

I don't know if it's my fingers or my keyboard lately, but I sure get a lot of "Words have to be at least four letters long" messages lately when I enter words in the other box here. (My arthritis in my hands has been bad this summer; I'm not on my computer as often because of it)

3:13 pm

therealblah

lol nef was wondering about that

3:14 pm

Nef

And that's why I have spellcheck on when I play Babble. :-/

3:16 pm

therealblah

i definitely have an issue with my keyboard where certain letters stick and the enter key doesn't work...perhaps i should stop eating my lunch over my keyboard :)

3:19 pm

Nef

DH spilled so many times on his keyboard we are now both banned from eating while online (I have to obey "the Rules" too, even though HE is the one with the problem)

3:19 pm

therealblah

lol

3:24 pm

Nef

Last weekend we had 2 spills of water glasses (on carpeting), (also cat puke on both the chair & the carpet; but who's counting)? ;-) spaghetti on kitchen tile; and a bottle of Goo GOne on the newly refinished dining room floor. Just a bit more than usual; but *I'm* the one who has to clean these messes up. And not be upset or angry about it either.

3:26 pm

therealblah

well that's just plain unfair

3:28 pm

therealblah

of course, i'm the one who spills (red) wine on BF's (cream colored) carpet and then let him clean it up lol

3:29 pm

Nef

Well, he has MS; & he's having more problems. He's had it for 28 years; but is now really having trouble with spasticity & mobility & balance. so, that's how it is.... I don't want to give him a sippy cup yet; but I do think we will be needing one in the future

3:29 pm

Nef

Oh-oh, Blah! That's bad!

3:33 pm

Nef

(did it come out?)

3:35 pm

therealblah

oh nef, i guess you can't really get mad at him then

3:35 pm

therealblah

but i'm sure the whole situation is frustrating

3:36 pm

therealblah

yes, mostly :D

3:37 pm

Nef

I really try not to; unless it's something REALLY stupid. The Goo Gone spill was really stupid; but it was too big of a mess the waste the time scolding or yelling at him (I mean; WHO would put an open bottle on the floor right next to your chair leg instead of on the table where he's working & can see it?)

3:45 pm

"normal" is a relative term ;)

3:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:46 pm

I wonder why that isn't a word, TO

3:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

probably two words

3:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

time to get ready for happy hour. later, all

3:48 pm

Nef

very true, blah. I meant that last post to you to say exactly the opposite of what it seems to mean; but you seemed to understand what I meant (I think); so *normal* is indeed relative

8:40 pm

Uneaixoise

just scaring them

8:42 pm

Trifioso

just scaring them as far as I know, but if you ask a teenager, the answers you get are unsettling. they SWEAR "somewhere down south" kids are being killed by clowns, dragged into woods by clowns, etc, and "some one saw a clown at (local place, name changes with every telling) trying to attack kids with a chain saw!" and NOTHING we say convinces them otherwise.

8:42 pm

no chance convincing a school full of twitchy teens - everyone knows someone who's third cousin's best friend SAW IT

HUGE time suck today. very, very hard to settle the kids down

8:54 pm

They've been sighted around here, and it's completely out of control. Nothing has happened. I wonder why anyone would dress like a clown now. Someone's gonna shoot them!
