1:11 am

hurshy

sh8... ugh... been reading a lot about THAT lately - WWI

1:15 am

grannyrose

haven't we all ?? it's so horrible.

1:15 am

hurshy

pr6, pr6, pr6 your craft gently down liquid solution
ecstatically ecstatically ecstatically
existence is but an illusion

1:16 am

hurshy

everyone's been reading about WWI ? oh, thought it was just me!

1:16 am

grannyrose

*giggling** hurshy.

1:17 am

hurshy

it's the kingly version of row row row your boat...

1:17 am

grannyrose

you weren't referring to the acts of terrorism ?? i've nearly hanged my mind several times about our trip.

1:18 am

hurshy

no, the Great War was far more horrifying than anything that goes on today

1:19 am

grannyrose

true... but it seemed to be contained within one land mass.

1:19 am

hurshy

but SO many more people...

1:20 am

grannyrose

and what about North Korea flexing it's muscles? i live just next door, so to speak.

1:21 am

hurshy

well idk - is it just me or has every test launch they've done failed?

1:21 am

hurshy

like, north korea's girlfriend would be getting a bit frustrated by now

1:21 am

grannyrose

one fell in the Sea of Japan...

1:22 am

Nef

Re: WWI, did you know that more people were killed by the great flu epidemic 1918-1919 than in the whole of WWI?

1:22 am

grannyrose

i don't mind being killed by someone face-to-face. but to die because some little twerp miles away decided to stick his grotty finger on a button...

1:23 am

hurshy

yes but the flu is the flu - it's not nearly so bad as what those soldiers went through in the trenches

1:23 am

grannyrose

was it wwi with mustard gas?

1:24 am

hurshy

the thing that gets me is how they'll use the word "armageddon" to describe it, and i feel like, ugh, why was that NOT armageddon. it was horrible enough that it really should have been the end of the world. yes, mustard gas...

1:24 am

Nef

yes. WWI did have the mustard gas/

1:25 am

grannyrose

hurshy, i hear you honey. man's inhumanity to man. makes me feel utterly miserable to contemplate it.

1:26 am

hurshy

constant lice, living in 2 ft deep mud, trenchfoot, body parts strewn everywhere, men marching into suicidal missions because the staff workers were idiots, lack of sleep, terror of constant shelling, talking to someone and suddenly their head is blown off mid-sentence...

1:26 am

Nef

Back then, the flu wasn't "just the flu" They didn't have any way to treat it. Between 1918 & 1919 between 20 & 50 million people died of he flu that 1 year.

1:26 am

hurshy

ALL AT ONCE

1:26 am

grannyrose

i wonder if women could do a better job.

1:27 am

hurshy

i would die of the spanish flu fifty times over before i'd set foot anywhere near a WWI battle area

1:27 am

Nef

YES. WOMEN WOULDN'T HAVE WARS.

1:28 am

hurshy

depends on the women

1:28 am

Nef

(Sorry about the caps)

1:28 am

grannyrose

hurshy you just said that so well

1:28 am

hurshy

i haven't watched myself, but i hear those desperate housewives can be rather catty

1:29 am

Nef

hershey, do you think women would start wars if women pulled most country?

1:29 am

grannyrose

i am very proud to say i have never seen a single episode.

1:29 am

Nef

me either

1:30 am

hurshy

i don't know. i mean, i know plenty of men who i don't think would start wars, but it seems like politics inevitably leads to the worst people coming to power

1:30 am

grannyrose

can you imagine the men if/when the women of the world said... that's it... you can all go back home to your mother

1:30 am

Nef

I'm sorry; I'm trying to type with just 1 hand; it's not going well

1:30 am

grannyrose

you are doing very well Nef

1:31 am

hurshy

yeah i wouldn't have guessed, nef :)

1:31 am

grannyrose

and the mothers would greet them at the front door, rolling pin in hand, and say... you are not coming in here.

1:32 am

Nef

I had cortisone injections anatomy left (dominant) hand yesterday for arthritis.

1:32 am

grannyrose

hope it works for you Nef. i had one in my left hip and it has been fantastic.

1:32 am

hurshy

ann coulter would start wars left and right

1:34 am

Nef

There is an African nation where the women were beaten & raped but weren't killed; & they finally got their courage up and voted in a womanpresident & women representatives; & the wars stopped

1:34 am

grannyrose

bbl. lovely to see you hurshy and nef. xoxox

1:34 am

hurshy

well, yeah, in a society where you don't have a lot of spoiled/privileged women, i definitely see that working a lot better

1:35 am

Nef

(that was "into my" left...) Spell check isn't so helpful sometimes

1:36 am

origami

Hiya kiddos. Spending the night with a friend and she has gone to bed. Hmmm ... what can I do for a bit :-)

1:37 am

Nef

Hi ori. Unfortunately, I'm getting very tired now & need to go to bed.

1:37 am

Nef

Have you heard anything yet???

1:37 am

origami

Hi Nef! Probably not long for the grid myself.

1:38 am

origami

Nothing yet - insert sad face here. But, you never know.

1:38 am

hurshy

what are you waiting to hear about?

1:39 am

Nef

Confidence, ori! Believe in yourself

1:39 am

origami

Whether I got a job I interviewed for. A job I really want!

1:40 am

hurshy

oh i'm job hunting too - only trouble is, i think i'm probably going to get an offer that's like, good enough, but, not what i really want, and maybe have to decide before i know about other possibilities

1:40 am

origami

Thanks Nef! I am trying to do so.

1:40 am

flosey

38 for tomorrow, falling asleep, good night all

1:40 am

Nef

Okay,,,, Good night now & good luck!

Nighters Nef

I really think one of the things I battle with hurshy is my age. Age discrimination is, of course, illegal. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

3:44 am

Lizlin

3:44 am

grannyrose

andi have just tried to contact the red rattler gallery. i thought a pair of the woolen hand-knitted socks would be nice for sprite.

3:44 am

grannyrose

still achy...but emotionally okay

3:45 am

Lizlin

Thanks for that en 9 - I'd been playing around with a similar word but couldn't get there.

3:45 am

grannyrose

3:45 am

Lizlin

Sounds like progress.

3:45 am

Lizlin

Socks sound like a good idea.

3:46 am

grannyrose

We're fine. All's good here.

3:47 am

grannyrose

3:50 am

grannyrose

3:51 am

Lizlin

Not sure yet.

Lizlin

4:00 am

grannyrose

5:43 am

maggiej

I think that is 5/22

5:44 am

lynxxx

5:45 am

MollyL

5/22 is a name for Grandpa. Lynxx was right about the 5/20

5:45 am

maggiej

ok

5:46 am

MollyL

Someone who gropes you sexually?

5:46 am

maggiej

5:47 am

rubyfoo

Or a dog who wants a treat?

5:47 am

5:47 am

5:47 am

Ty Ruby :) Good morning all.

5:47 am

rururocks

Isnt that the same thing ruby?

5:48 am

rubyfoo

Bello Sukee et al

5:49 am

rubyfoo

Bella Sukeee* or hello*

5:54 am

MollyL

TouchÃ© Ru, pretty much the same thing
: D

5:55 am

sukee

How is your weather Ruby? Rain, rain, rain here.

5:56 am

MollyL

Wow, rain everywhere. We had torrential rain yesterday and more to come this weekend.

5:56 am

sukee

Same here, threat of flooding in some areas.

5:57 am

rubyfoo

Yesterday was warm and sunny and I bought plants for the deck but today is pouring rain AGAINB and the boy didn't make a decent fire

5:57 am

rubyfoo

Howevr, it could be worse!!

5:58 am

bichon

We got the most rain than we have gotten in a long time 1.41"

5:58 am

MollyL

What kind of plants did you buy?

6:00 am

rubyfoo

Since I can't use the potager any more, I bought plantts for the deck, not for the borders: many tomatoes, 2 squash, kalinchoe, more big geraniums

6:01 am

MollyL

That is what I have on my patio. Vegetables, flowers and herbs.

6:01 am

rubyfoo

The house and deck and parts of the garden are full of flowers, but the scent of last week's white lilies is rather overwhelming

6:03 am

rubyfoo

Since I don't cook any more, I've stopped planting herbs but there is still Rosemary, lemon thyme (for its flowers) and mint

6:03 am

sukee

Take care all, time for breakfast.

6:03 am

rubyfoo

Hmm; lemon thyme almost rhymes with clementine; I think a poem lurks in there someplace

6:03 am

rubyfoo

Bye Sukee

6:04 am

rubyfoo

What vegetables, Molly?

6:12 am

MollyL

Just tomatoes and bell peppers. No room for anything that takes up more space than those. It's my dream to someday have a real garden that grows in the ground, instead of containers.

6:13 am

MollyL

Better yet, an indoor greenhouse that I can garden in all year long.

6:15 am

bichon

Sounds like my dream Molly. 25 years ago we lived in a house which had room for a large garden. I tried everything except Brussel sprouts

6:18 am

rubyfoo

I had a lovely vegetable garden the first several years, but it's impossible for me now; the rest of the garden is lovely, though, this year there arre new green and pink tulips and lots of allium. Iiris soon

6:19 am

bichon

I have been to the garden of all gardens at Giverny

6:20 am

bichon

We were blown over

6:22 am

MollyL

Ruby, I wonder if you could get someone to build you raised beds on your deck.

6:24 am

rubyfoo

That's an i teresting idea, but would be too ambitious with my limitations. Now, it's verdant, will be productive, but is still rooimy enough to eat outside or just sit and admire th view.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

Since it's only me and the dogs, and they don't eat vegetables (except brocolli, don 't ask lol)p, tomaties and squash will be enough.

6:25 am

MollyL

You feed your dogs broccoli? Damn, dog farts are bad enough when they just eat dog food.
: D

6:26 am

bichon

Marco will only eat red pepper. He used to eat carrots and green bean, but then Polo left. He's been in a funk since.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

And there is still lots of fruit down below and I'll have people to help me pick.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

When Spritte was here, she picked red currants for me

6:27 am

rubyfoo

He offsets the cloying scet of the lilies with his own generous miasma!

6:27 am

bichon

Spritte?

6:27 am

rubyfoo

Srite*

6:27 am

rubyfoo

Sprite*

6:27 am

bichon

Is that a dog or a person?

6:28 am

rubyfoo

Rose's friend

6:28 am

bichon

Rose?

6:29 am

rubyfoo

I guess you comeinto Babble after they have left

6:29 am

Sally-catlover

I love glancing over to the chat!

6:29 am

bichon

I started about 10 years ago

6:29 am

Sally-catlover

Ruby, why don't you cook any more? Choice or health?

6:29 am

rubyfoo

They are here too early for you, but I overlap

6:30 am

bichon

Did they live with you?

6:30 am

rubyfoo

They are here for about 2 hrs from your 3 AM 'til 5, eveery day

6:30 am

bichon

ok

6:31 am

MollyL

Bichon, seriously? You have been here 10 years and never seen Sprite or Grannyrose in the chat?

6:31 am

rubyfoo

Hello Sally. Meals are delivered 6 days (lunch only) and with husband gone and no more parties, it's too much effort beyond cooking for the dogs

6:32 am

rubyfoo

Hahah, Molly, maybe you could explain LOL!!

6:32 am

bichon

Oh, doh. I thought they picked courants at Ruby's house. Totally misunderstood

6:32 am

Sally-catlover

OK, sounds luxurious to me.

6:32 am

rubyfoo

Sprite visited several years ago duri ng red currant season and helped me out

6:33 am

rubyfoo

It is, Sally, shabby but lovely

6:33 am

bichon

Really misread that

6:33 am

rubyfoo

And the housekeeper cuts up th dogs' chicken

6:33 am

Sally-catlover

That was nice, to have a real visit. Was it your first meeting with a fellow babbler? I've never met any in RL.

6:33 am

suefrad625

morning all

6:34 am

rubyfoo

Yes it was, but she and Rose are visiting in June.

6:34 am

bichon

I almost met Peri and Anniebrook [rip]

6:35 am

Sally-catlover

Where do they live? I also almost met FMitch, also (rip)

6:35 am

rubyfoo

I have a friend in Lexulous who visis periodically when she and her husband are en route to Italy.

6:36 am

Sally-catlover

I don't play Lexulous, just Words with Friends. There aren't enough hours in the day...

6:36 am

rubyfoo

Sprite is Dutch and Rose is in Australia ansd is doing her Grand Tour of Europe

6:36 am

rubyfoo

Her first

6:36 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I remember Sprite being Dutch. Not so far for her then.

6:38 am

rubyfoo

My lex friend lives in the UK and used to have a house in the Dordogne, but now she and her husband ravel in their camper

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

Lol, that's better than unravelling!

6:39 am

bichon

LOL

6:39 am

rubyfoo

It I travelled in a camping-car, I would unravel!

6:40 am

MollyL

That is not my idea of traveling either Ruby. Too cramped. Give me a five star hotel any day.

6:41 am

Sally-catlover

With hot and cold running servants...

6:41 am

rubyfoo

I'd shoot myself!

6:42 am

bichon

I'm used to roughing it, but I really enjoyed having a river cruise. So luxurious for me

6:42 am

MollyL

I know a family of four who went on a long trip in a Winnebago and came back swearing they would never do it again.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

I'm too old to "rough it" (not that I did it even in my "salad days"

6:44 am

bichon

We went on a 5 week camping trip with the kids. There were some tense moments

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I think they made a movie about that family! Lucky they didn't have any weapons!

6:45 am

bichon

Unairconditioned car, sweltering heat, kids fighting in the back seat. But we did go to some fabulous places.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

<-- not Worth it for me. Fortunately, I did a huge amount of biz travel and romantic trips with my husband (RIP, too) but that was enough

6:47 am

rubyfoo

If I could travel, I would probably go back to Japan or to London to visit family, but it's too late for me

7:04 am

periwinkle

good morning all.

7:04 am

MollyL

It sounds like you did quite a bit of interesting travel Ruby. I'm glad you got the chance to do that.

7:05 am

periwinkle

why is it too late for you, ruby?

7:05 am

periwinkle

I have not done enough traveling

7:06 am

MollyL

All I want to do is travel to a nice house by a lake and live there for the rest of my days.

7:07 am

Sally-catlover

We've done a fair bit, even to Australia some years ago, but prefer to be at home now.. We quite like to do long train journeys and have done quite a few European ones that way, including Venice a couple of times. Getting too old and creaky now!

7:09 am

Sally-catlover

Could anyone give me a clue for the first ka? The ka 4/9. I have the others.

7:11 am

MollyL

It is the Greek letter without the double consonant

7:12 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, ty. Had the double consonant.
