Zermatt, Switzerland . . on the top of the Rothorn across from the Matterhorn
12:28 am

12:28 am

It's a little distorted
12:34 am
sandyloo
so you are a mountain climber- very scary
12:35 am
sandyloo
or did you get there by helicopter?
12:36 am
chj
No. You can get there by a funicular, a gondola and a cable car
12:36 am
chj
Or you can hike up
12:38 am
chj
Although one of my bucket list items is to climb the Matterhorn. I think that is beyond my capabilities now.
12:40 am
sandyloo
it looks spectacular
12:41 am
chj
It was, particularly since there was a thick cloud layer that morning and we didn't break through it until the last hundred yards or so in the cable car
12:46 am

Hello....snowed in again right now....
7:39 am
Riverdance
Good Morning - did you get much penquis. We only got 2 inches last night.
7:39 am
wvteach
new light covering of snow from last night - but supposed to be in the 60s by this weekend - our winter has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs
7:39 am
JBsAnno
Throw some twerks in to make it real, dose...
7:40 am
penquis
Started last night...still snowing....schools canceled...though we are told that it is going to stop soon...not sure how much yet...but in the last week, we got about two and a half feet not counting this storm...
7:40 am
JBsAnno
Sorry for double post, wonky WiFi.
7:41 am
Riverdance
I got 14 inches from Sunday nights storm, on top of the two storms from last week. No place to put it anymore.
7:41 am
doseffing
... I'm wondering how Penquis could be snowed in AGAIN after having two feet of snow on the weekend ... or at least that's what they got up the coast in Nova Scotia? ...
7:41 am
JBsAnno
Cold enough for snow in Philadelphia, but none in sight.
7:41 am
penquis
But i am not complaining (or at least not too much, lol)....some parts of the state have gotten a lot more...
7:43 am
Riverdance
its supposed to be nice this weekend so hopefully there will be lots of melting.
7:43 am
Riverdance
Are you in the Portland area penquis?
7:44 am

Up the coast ...midcoast area.....before the last ten days or so we had hardly any snow...
7:45 am

7:45 am
Riverdance

7:45 am
penquis
Ah....not far then....
7:46 am
penquis
Don't know anything about a dam....
7:47 am
Riverdance
not at all - I love walking around the Old Port or just taking a drive up the coast.
7:48 am
penquis
I used to live inland (35 miles northwest of Bangor)....i love being on the coast...
7:48 am
doseffing
... the dam is in northern California ... and it held ... so everyone will forget about it
7:49 am
TQ
I think it was California they were evacuating thousands because they were expecting it to burst
7:49 am
penquis
Ah...i think i did see something about that on the news....
7:49 am
Riverdance
Bangor is a hike. I had a friend that lived 85 miles north of Bangor. I used to go up there several times a year.
7:50 am
penquis
My tai chi class was canceled....so i can take my time shoveling out my car when the snow stops....
7:50 am

I notice on TV some police officers (in dramas, anyway) wear rank symbols the same as army ranks, and the chief of police will be shown wearing 4 stars. Do they do that where you are?

It amazes me that the Obama lovers never seemed to see all the lies he old while in office, but are now free to call Trump on his lies. And again, I am not a Trump lover. But really, a lying President is a lying President, no matter who he or she is.
7:30 pm
Gillie
Yes, but Trump contradicts himself within the space of seconds sometimes. The man is hardly sane.
7:31 pm
sukee
And if President Obama lied, it was not about things that we had seen with our own eyes and heard with our own ears.
7:31 pm
Gillie
Maybe it's dementia? He is quite old. But that doesn't explain the same behaviour in his advisors.
7:32 pm
sukee
They are everything they tried to convince people that President Obama was.
7:40 pm
hurshy
i don't think it's dementia, it's just Narcissistic Personality Disorder. nothing truly matters to him other than himself, so like, facts don't matter, other people don't matter, so if he gets stuff wrong, that is unimportant. all that matters is that he's the least racist person ever.
7:41 pm
hurshy
my sister-in-law was married to an NPD guy so i've seen how very awful it is. there is NO person that an NPD will listen to, take advice or constructive criticism from.
7:42 pm
hurshy
(other than people who agree with what they already think, cause those are obviously the smart people)
7:44 pm
Gillie
Yes, and the Republicans who are supporting (not quite all of them, thank God) seem to be of the opinion that nothing matters (facts, other people, etc.) other than the Republican Party.
7:47 pm
hurshy
yeah. it's funny because it seems like, they decided to use the "religious right" to get themselves a solid base and thus always have a bid for power, but while they were brainwashing those people, it seems like it wasn't a one-way exchange of ideas, somehow the bit about having faith and dogma and stuff got transferred to the whole party, so like, even if all the evidence suggests that certain economic policies just Do Not Work, that doesn't matter, because they Know that they Are The Best policies!

hello friends.

Just having a quiet evening here trying to find my last 18.
8:27 pm
Trifioso
nothing better than a quiet evening
8:30 pm

Yes, it is quite nice. And I get to spend tomorrow with my grandson.
8:31 pm
Trifioso
lovely!!! how old is your lad?
8:34 pm
wht
One and a half. He is lots of fun. He is quite the talker, although we have yet to hit on a common language. :^)
8:35 pm
Trifioso
oh I adore that age!!!! so sturdy and full of fun
8:35 pm
Trifioso
I like how you described that - "yet to hit on a common language"
8:35 pm
wht
We have a ball.
8:35 pm

And now I have fireworks.
8:36 pm
Bugsaw
I always think of that stage to prove that love passes all understand
8:37 pm
wht
When he wants something, I can usually figure it out. But sometimes he just seems to go on some long description of something and I haven't a clue. I just listen and ask, "And then what happened?"
8:37 pm
Bugsaw
exactly wht. you are a great grandpa
8:38 pm
Trifioso
hahah bugsaw - think I would vote for the teenage years for that one
8:39 pm
Trifioso
what a good grandpa you are!
8:39 pm
Bugsaw
oh Trif, I never thought of that but you are bang on the money there too
8:41 pm
Trifioso
I spend all day with them - I actually really like teenagers
8:41 pm
wht
I am looking forward to the time when he can actually tell me what he is thinking.
8:42 pm
Trifioso
that is a wonderful thing indeed.
8:42 pm
wht
His favorite word right now is bye-bye. If he doesn't want something, he just says bye-bye and pushes it away.
8:42 pm
Trifioso
I read something the other day about weird questions kids have asked, they were hilarious
8:42 pm
Bugsaw
I do too but sometimes I had no idea what they were talking about when they went into the Poor Me's
8:48 pm

Well time for me to be off. Have a good evening everyone.
8:48 pm
Trifioso
sleep well wht, and treasure every moment tomorrow

Narcissistic Personality Disorder, yes, those kind of people are difficult. Always wanting attention and creating drama where no drama needs to be.

I went with my son & grandson to the Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet tonight. It was nice, but so very loud! (I'm glad to be home in the quiet now; no TV or radio going
9:52 pm
Nef
Thanks, sandy. :-D
9:52 pm
sandyloo
Was the food at the banquet good?
9:55 pm
Nef
they had a buffet-style meal: tossed salad (iceburg lettuce, cherry tomatoes & tons of onions), fettuccini pasta & marinara pasta, bread, & cupcakes. It was good, but you could tell that the men weren't very good menu planners. (And the only thing left over was the salad.
9:57 pm
sandyloo
LOL The main thing is that they did it. I presume no wine...
9:58 pm
sandyloo
My daughter is tryig to talk me into giving the pony a whole carrot and a whole apple but he is only allowed half of each - he is a fat little pig
9:58 pm
Nef
I had been a den mother for 3 years when my son was young;& because of my working either evenings or nights all those years I never got to any of the banquets.
9:59 pm
sandyloo
I like those community things. One day (another subject) someone left the gate open and we found the pony on our neighbour's farm in his hayshed
10:00 pm
Nef
No wine; (although our grandson *whined* because he was too hungry & his 2 pasta dishes had about a quarter of an inch where 1 type toughed the other!
10:00 pm
Nef
What color is your pony, sandy?
10:01 pm
sandyloo
He is a black sheland pony, He is my favourite. I dont have to ride him
10:02 pm
Nef
My cousin got an old pony for her kids when they were young. I think "Flame" was 25 or so when she bought him. He was the slowest little pony you ever saw -- until he had the slightest chance to escape& then he'd take off like crazy!
10:03 pm
Nef
(Flame was mainly tan & white & had a white flame on his forehead)_
10:07 pm

We had horses when I was a kid. But we always seemed to have a donkey and a pony around. The ponies were escape artists. I really loved the donkeys! So much fun.
10:08 pm

Just had disaster! the pony got into the rubbish and smashed some glass on the verandah
10:09 pm

10:09 pm

On a farm you dont have rubbish bins as we have to take the rubbish to a station on sundays (despite rates of $2000 per year) We have a rubbish trailer in one of the paddocks and I hadnt taken the rubbish this morning which is what I did
