2:21 am

sprite

arms and heart open wide.

2:22 am

grannyrose

2:22 am

sprite

goodness! You need lots of ph4o space and cards and all

2:25 am

grannyrose

the only thing we haven't booked yet is the bus tour to Giverny and Versailles. want to wait and see what the weather is gonna be like.

2:27 am

sprite

weather in france should be better predictable than ours, lol

2:29 am

grannyrose

se4 you another email honey. answer at your leisure.. loll ...

2:31 am

sprite

sure, no problem, give me all the details in email :)

2:31 am

grannyrose

our weather has suddenly turned really cold. thunderstorms and bucketing with rain and hail. i think autumn was on a thursday this year.

2:32 am

sprite

now if only that meant we are being cannonballed into summer...

2:34 am

rubyfoo

Hello my friends

2:34 am

grannyrose

whoot!! * waving energetically to ruby* {{hugs}} dearest

2:35 am

rubyfoo

Iter is still freezing at night but magnifique in the aftnoons

2:35 am

rubyfoo

Bulbs are starting and since ma ny new ones were planteed lastt fall, it should be an unfolding delight!

2:36 am

rubyfoo

And, in Junbe, hopefully there'll be figs!!

2:36 am

grannyrose

ruby, we are hiring a car in Lure, driving to Ronchamp, staying the night there, then onto you the next day.

2:36 am

sprite

*hugs ruby*

2:36 am

rubyfoo

Sorry about the typing, but I'm so cold that I'm back in bed with my coffee

2:37 am

sprite

ruby, rose says I can book a plane to Verviers. But I cannot seem to find any bookable flight.

2:37 am

rubyfoo

Ronchamps is why I minored in art histtory

2:37 am

rubyfoo

Where is verviers>?

2:38 am

grannyrose

ruby, we are booked into B&B Les Terrasses du Lac. the other place is booked out.

2:38 am

rubyfoo

Oh,wow!! I am so happy

2:38 am

sprite

I mean annecy

2:39 am

rubyfoo

My US lwyer wanted to come at the same time for my deposition, but I told him (effectively) to buzz off!

2:39 am

grannyrose

Annecy has an airport, how does sprite get there?

2:40 am

rubyfoo

I don't think there are commercial flights to Annecy, just for Air France" crews who live here

2:40 am

sprite

that must be why then. What is the alternative? Geneva?

2:40 am

rubyfoo

Maybe you can find a millionaire with his ownplane! lol

2:42 am

grannyrose

Annecy Haute-Savoie is where you can fly to. check out expedia.com

2:42 am

rubyfoo

Geneva is 35 minutes by car but there is bus service from there to Annecy. Lyon also haas bus service and is easier to Annecy as the connection is more frequent and right at the airport.

2:42 am

sprite

thanks ruby, Lyon it will be then.

2:43 am

sprite

rose, I know... but there are no available flights at all

2:43 am

rubyfoo

With Genefa, it is necessary to take the train downtown to get the bus. my DIL did it with no French, but I think Lyon is probably eaaier

2:43 am

grannyrose

yeah just saw that...

2:44 am

sprite

I prefer to keep the journey as walk-free as possible, so Lyon it is gonna be

2:44 am

rubyfoo

I also think Geneva flights are the most expensive, at least that's what the lawyer said.....

2:44 am

rubyfoo

Yes, Geneva would require a lot of walking

2:45 am

grannyrose

hang sprite. we are checking to see if we can pick you up in Geneva.

2:45 am

rubyfoo

That is pretty complicated, Rose.

2:46 am

rubyfoo

This plan has helped me greatly to fire the lawyer!!!

2:46 am

grannyrose

okay, butting out now...*grin*

2:47 am

rubyfoo

Do you see the orange phantom hovering over thee grid?

2:48 am

rubyfoo

Bye for now, I have to get in the tub to get warm, my hands are like icicles

2:49 am

rubyfoo

But I'm smiling

2:49 am

sprite

*hugs ruby and sends her warm vibes*

2:49 am

grannyrose

good for you ruby. xoxox darling

2:50 am

rubyfoo

I'm not so keen on Versailles; I think Chantilly is prettier. Verrsailles is meta-Trump

2:50 am

rubyfoo

Gold gold gold

2:51 am

rubyfoo

I was in Giverny when they were dredging the pond, Africans up to their necks in mud!!

2:51 am

sprite

versailles is interesting, but not that beautiful

2:51 am

rubyfoo

(in the 60's

2:52 am

rubyfoo

The garden is beautiful, but very formal

2:53 am

rubyfoo

woof

2:56 am

sprite

never been to chantilly or giverny, so cannot give my vote for th5. But ruby has great taste, especially in gardens.

2:57 am

grannyrose

giverny is Monet's house and garden. i just want to st5 in a place where the Great Master has possibly stood.

2:58 am

3:08 am

grannyrose

3:08 am

grannyrose

hey, i can recommend a great pain doc.

3:08 am

sprite

no sweetie, absolutely not. She is not in a good place

3:09 am

grannyrose

oh, my. i am sorry to hear that.

3:10 am

sprite

yeah, she deserves a lot better than what she gets. Yo, Big Guy... how about evening the score a little for our pugs, hmph?

3:11 am

grannyrose

3:11 am

sprite

3:14 am

sprite

ruby, did you ever hear from Annie?

6:58 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

6:59 am

Trifioso

hello scrabbler, and good morning all my dear friends

7:00 am

Scrabbler

Do you have the week off, Trif? This is winter break here.

7:03 am

Trifioso

YESSSAHHHHHHH

7:03 am

Trifioso

little excited about it... lol

7:03 am

Scrabbler

What are your plans?

7:03 am

Scrabbler

I see that.

7:04 am

Trifioso

I am going up to Vermont to visit secondo, spending a couple of days at my mums while carole and her family take a break, and in between I have a paper to write for grad school, and I am turning primo's old bedroom into a proper guest room, as I have finally accepted that my boy is launched, and won't be coming home again.

7:08 am

Scrabbler

Nice plans. Yes, Primo should be launched. Good for him.

7:08 am

Trifioso

his new apartment is ridiculously cool.

7:08 am

Scrabbler

Far too many twenty-somethings are still living with their parents.

7:09 am

Trifioso

I wouldn't mind....I like him quite a lot. But he needs his space. It's better for him. He is FINALLY living a 20-something life - going out with friends, doing fun things, etc.

7:10 am

Scrabbler

Excellent for him!

7:10 am

Trifioso

he and his GF, who he lived with for four years, split earlier this year....and I am secretly thrilled, though I don't tell him that, of course. They were too young to be so settled

7:11 am

Scrabbler

Emancipation is the goal of parenting so you have done your job, and I know he is fine young man.

7:11 am

Trifioso

plus (whispering)....she was a bitch

7:11 am

Trifioso

shhhhhhhh

7:12 am

Scrabbler

I won't tell anyone.

7:12 am

Trifioso

lololol

7:12 am

Scrabbler

But, yes, those early/high school relationships are best ended as young adults need to meet others and grow personally.

7:14 am

Trifioso

anyway - he got a loft space in an old factory. The design team in charge of the repurposing of the building hit it out of the park. It was a sort of complex of eight buildings, and they put a giant glass roof over the entire thing, so every hallway is four stories high, and eight buildings long - tons of light streams in, brick walls, iron lights on the side of each apartment door....and the insides! He has this HUGE space, all industrial and edgy, which is totally his aesthetic....and his cats LOVE walking across all the pipes and beams

7:15 am

Scrabbler

Nice!

7:15 am

Trifioso

bonus - several of his coworkers live there, as well as a couple of friends from college.

7:17 am

Scrabbler

And he can experience life as a single individual which is essential for twenty-somethings. The tasks of adolescence/young adulthood: identity, independence, individuation, etc.

7:18 am

Trifioso

you are killing me! I am taking adolescent psychology this round, and JUST finished that very chapter. Wrote a paper on the movie Juno, and how her psychosocial moratorium was foisted upon her....

7:19 am

Trifioso

count for the lone u please?

7:19 am

Scrabbler

The 4 i words: identity, individuation, independence, and intimacy (on various levels.) Yes, I communicate these tasks with kids AND parents.

7:19 am

Trifioso

never mind

7:19 am

Scrabbler

I have not found the u and keep looking at it.

As for constipation on a diet, usually a fiber supplement takes care of that.

10:01 am

rubyfoo

Dieting using hormones is a bad idea!

10:01 am

rubyfoo

Bichon: PRUNES!!

10:01 am

rururocks

don't the supplements make you feel crappy?

10:01 am

hurshy

this is not my favorite breakfast conversation ever

10:02 am

rubyfoo

sorry

10:02 am

hurshy

'sok, the world does not revolve around me last i checked

10:03 am

rubyfoo

Yes it does!

10:03 am

rururocks

well.. that's refreshing around here hursh :D

10:03 am

hurshy

hehe

10:03 am

500 calorie a day diets are very severe and have their problems

10:04 am

hurshy

who was on one that was 500 every OTHER day, and whatever you want on the off days? crossy?

10:04 am

rubyfoo

I'm trying to get up to 1500/day, but it's very difficult

10:04 am

hurshy

UP to, or down to?

10:04 am

rururocks

(sends ben and jerry's truck to ruby's house)

10:05 am

rubyfoo

Up to. I weighed about 83lbs 15 months ago, not a pretty sight!

10:06 am

rururocks

wow ruby

10:06 am

hurshy

well if you can afford to eat out, you should just do that more. restaurants pack in the calories.

10:06 am

rubyfoo

The restos here are not Worth the effort bug I go occasionally

10:07 am

hurshy

how is that possible in france? :(

10:07 am

rubyfoo

I'm up to about 100 which is fine

10:07 am

rubyfoo

I'm in the mountains so the food is too cheesy

10:08 am

hurshy

CHEESE! = CALORIES

10:08 am

rubyfoo

Gratin this, cheese sauce that, it's gross

10:08 am

rururocks

I guess it's where you are fromage in France isn't it ruby?

10:08 am

hurshy

*wishes she could eat the food and ruby could put on the resultant pounds*

10:08 am

rubyfoo

Yes'm fromage the Reblochon region, so I have a little every day I

10:09 am

hurshy

i <3 cheese

10:09 am

hurshy

i may regret this, but, help with the U?

10:10 am

bichon

slangy term for too many to count

10:10 am

rubyfoo

I like the food better in the UK, better beef

10:10 am

hurshy

oh nice, thanks bichon

10:10 am

cybernan

good morning --- need I say it with a cheesy grin?

10:10 am

rubyfoo

hahah nan

10:10 am

hurshy

you LIKE the FOOD better in the UK???

10:10 am

rururocks

i'd rather talk about cheese than be morbier

10:11 am

hurshy

my mind is going to be permanently blown by you ruby

10:11 am

bichon

ruby, nothing did the trick. I finally went off the diet.

10:12 am

rubyfoo

That's funny, hurshy, it's just this region -- beautiful but not noteed for its uisine

10:12 am

cybernan

that surprised me too --- have had the best meals ever in France --- anything we've ever had in the UK was either greasy spoon or over cooked

10:12 am

hurshy

well but if you LIKE cheese, as i do...

10:12 am

hurshy

still, i will reconsider my considering of whether to consider moving to your region

10:13 am

rubyfoo

I take a substantial amount of oxy, so that's always a concern. Yoghurt, fruit, orange juice. It's hard to eat much more than that

10:13 am

rururocks

you are going to hate finding the u hursh.. I just guessed on it

10:13 am

hurshy

i did find it, bichon cluuuued it

10:13 am

bichon

ruby, you're still in aa lot of pain?

10:14 am

rubyfoo

I'll bet your weren't in Haute Savoie, nan

10:14 am

rubyfoo

Not a lot, the oxy controls it

10:14 am

hurshy

oxycodone ?

10:15 am

rubyfoo

Yes

10:15 am

bichon

What causes the pain? I thought the cancer was in remission.

10:15 am

rururocks

no one deserves to be in pain (in my opinion)

10:15 am

cybernan

no -- Alsace and Lyon were the closest we got I think

10:15 am

rubyfoo

I've been able to decrease the originally prescribed dose

10:16 am

rururocks

lyon is beautiful..

10:16 am

rubyfoo

Both are good food places, even though Lyon is not so far

10:16 am

rururocks

I have to go to Alsace some day

10:16 am

rubyfoo

Happily, that's my oncologists' attitudes

10:17 am

cybernan

Wonderful duck, lamb and a white fish that I loved but can't remember the name

10:17 am

hurshy

woohoo found both 8s on my own!!

10:17 am

rururocks

good.. there is abuse out there for sure ruby.. but the people who need it really need it

10:17 am

rubyfoo

Evidently oxy is a big problem in thet US. Here it is carefully controlled

10:17 am

bichon

We will be in Paris for one day in early May. I want to go to Giverny

10:17 am

rururocks

I thinks it's carefully controlled here, but people find a way to get their hands on it

10:18 am

MLFAN17

funny I came in just now to see you all talking about health and such.. I am debating wether to try lifeway kefir drinks or not especially the 12 something versions of it

10:18 am

cybernan

Lovely area, Bichon -- be sure to go to Malmaison as well as Monet's house.

10:18 am

rubyfoo

I can't imagine that oxy can be takeen for pleasure!

10:19 am

rubyfoo

What are kefir drinks?

10:19 am

MLFAN17

ruru can you clue the pa8 pls?

10:19 am

hurshy

kefir is some kind of yogurty thing, isn't it?

10:19 am

I put whipped cream in my Irish coffee

10:22 am

and chocolate, eat lots of chocolate, if you eat dark it gives you antioxidants or something good like that

10:22 am

rubyfoo

Bye everybody, doggy dinner time

10:22 am

MLFAN17

ruby I love irish cream coffee

10:22 am

rubyfoo

<-- doesn't like chocolate

10:23 am

MLFAN17

hurshy that is true about the chocolate

10:23 am

rubyfoo

Yes, I wish I liked it

10:23 am

hurshy

chocolate, cheese... stop rejecting the major food groups

10:23 am

rubyfoo

I keep it in the house for visitors

10:23 am

MLFAN17

ruby how can you not like chocolate????

10:24 am

rubyfoo

I eat microwave popcorn with LOTS of butter

10:24 am

hurshy

how about CARAMEL?!

10:24 am

rubyfoo

I grew up in a candy store

10:24 am

MLFAN17

ruby my mom used to keep little bowls of candies in the house in the living room everyday

10:25 am

10:25 am

rururocks

I can take or leave chocolate too

10:25 am

hurshy

you are so lucky, i wish i had had my fill and did not te4 toward avoirdupois now

10:26 am

MLFAN17

avoirdupois?

10:27 am

hurshy

so apparently avoirdupois was originally avoirdupoids (to have some pounds) but somehow the d got dropped over the years so that now it looks like it says "to have some peas", as in, "you are too fat, you need TO HAVE SOME PEAS!"

10:29 am

MLFAN17

oh?

10:29 am

hurshy

apparently this doesn't amuse other people as much as it does me.

hu 8 - a word that makes absolutely no sense whatever

11:07 am

MollyL

Or humpee

11:08 am

hurshy

disagree

11:08 am

MollyL

I think hu8 makes sense. It is just "the most" version of that word.

11:09 am

SamanthaJoy

cyber, you're thinking of the root as hu5. The root is the first SIX letters, not five

11:09 am

hurshy

yes. if one is going to eat animals, what is the hu8 way to kill them, among several different options, one might ask

11:09 am

cybernan

exactly --- most should be used with the word, not a suffix to creat a word that doesn't exist other than in this alternate universe called enable

11:12 am

hurshy

last word - may need help - tu7

11:12 am

MollyL

If you see it that way, than est should not be added to any word and we should just always say "the most ____"

11:12 am

cybernan

either way, sam --- most should be used with the word -- not a suffix

11:12 am

i think there is some kind of linguistic rule, molly - like, one syllable words (eg "cute" may take -est), and two syllable words ending in y but not otherwise (eg prettiest) ? but, i'm cool with the evolution of that particular rule, personally.

11:15 am

I thought it was called a root

4:07 pm

Oh damn it. Damn it, damn it, damn it. Annie was a lovely person. I'm so glad I got to "know" her because of this place.

4:07 pm

lil*monkey

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this news :(

4:08 pm

MollyL

If Ru got a notification Mom probably did too. But just in case, if anyone has Mom's email, or is friends with her on Facebook, I'm sure Mom would want to know.

4:09 pm

rururocks

She was a special, special person.. if that we all could be so sharp and witty in our old age as her.. she was a marvel and a very intelligent person. I loved emailing with her.

4:09 pm

4:28 pm

I wrote to Crossy

4:29 pm

And bichon

4:29 pm

rururocks

I imagine Suellen is retrieving her emails for right now.. you can probably write there Bichon

4:42 pm

MollyL

I know Mom has Annie's address. Perhaps Mom will post something on Facebook, or here, when she is ready.

4:42 pm

rubyfoo

I reread Suellen's posting, she refers to herself as the "baby sitter"

4:43 pm

rubyfoo

I imagÃ§ne that Bobby will go to live with his siter in CT

4:44 pm
