1:18 am
sprite
glad you could do a bit of recharging.
1:18 am
flosey
yes, seemed much needed! tho I don't really know why, haven't been overdoing
1:19 am
sprite
guess sometimes we just do :)
1:26 am
flosey
I've never met this one before but we do often have former students visiting - hubby likes to keep in touch - interesting to see how their lives play out
1:27 am
sprite
my grandparents on father's side did the same thing. I think it is wonderful.
1:29 am
flosey

1:29 am
sprite
beautiful to see, I bet
1:31 am
flosey
yes, it is - the fact that they're prepared to travel from Toronto to BC - an expensive trip
1:31 am
sprite
speaks of the importance your husband has had in their lives and education.
1:32 am
flosey
yes and that, in itself, is satisfying - I know he has been a good teacher, has such patience with them, and really gets to know them
1:33 am

Good morning

sandyloo
hmm all asleep I guess
5:45 am
bichon
I'm slightly awake
5:46 am
sandyloo
hi bichon I was thinking of you and jack russells. My dog will have a similar coat to the dog on Frasier , Eddie
5:46 am
sandyloo
he is a broken coat jack
5:46 am
sandyloo
just in case you were wondering which I'm sure you weren't LOL]
5:47 am
bichon
Cute. Do you have to brush him? Not too familiar with wiry coats
5:52 am
sandyloo
it is a cross between a soft coat and a wiry coat. I think you take them to the groomers a couple of times a year to get the coat stripped out. We will do that.
5:53 am
bichon
I have to brush him about once a month, but he's groomed every other month
5:53 am
sandyloo
Don't require th e amount of grooming anything like a poodle or bichon do.
5:54 am
sandyloo
I remember my poodles, I sent them to the parlor every eight weeks.
5:54 am
bichon
If you keep up with the brushing, you don't have a problem. If he's badly matted the groomer would do nothing but shave him down.
5:55 am
sandyloo
I did love the poodles but on the farm too hard for coat care. We have grass seeds at a certain time of year' Jack dont get the matted hair like poodles. the hair falls out on the ground ... or on the floor or your clothes or the bed.......
5:56 am
bichon
It was imperative that we get a non shedding due to allergies
5:57 am
sandyloo
I get allergies too. I am not too bad with Jacks.
5:58 am
sandyloo
Completely aside from dogs. My sister's son works in New York and she is going to visit him this year. She asked me to ask you Babblers, Does any one know anything about dude ranches? She likes riding and is thinking of doing a side trip to a dude ranch>
6:00 am
TheByzantine
Do the horses ride the dudes at a dude ranch?
6:01 am
sandyloo
LOL I have no idea. No dude ranches in Aus. Just dudes
6:01 am
bichon
Not around New York. They're found mainly out west
6:02 am
sandyloo
She would fly no worries. She is researching on the internet. Most seem to be closed during october when she is there
6:03 am
Scrabbler
There is a sort-of dude ranch near Lake George.
6:03 am
bichon
Much too much to see in and around NY. Foliage at that time
6:03 am
sandyloo
Have you or any of you ever been to one?
6:04 am
sandyloo
She has been to NY a number of times.
6:04 am
Scrabbler
Ridin-Hy Ranch. My friend stayed there with her family--but more of a kid-friendly place.
6:05 am
sandyloo
I have been to the pochonos and we walked on a frozen lake. you have no idea how bizzare that was for us.
6:05 am
sandyloo
I have written that down.
6:05 am
Scrabbler
http://www.ridinhy.com/
6:06 am
bichon
www.rockinghorseranch.com
6:06 am
Scrabbler
But it isn't like the dude ranches out west. Another friend took her family to one in Montana.
6:07 am
sandyloo
I am writing it all down so she will know i have done my duty.
6:08 am
Scrabbler
But the best treasure in New York State is the Adirondack Mountains, my favorite place to visit. I will be there twice this summer for hiking and kayaking.
6:09 am
sandyloo
I haven't heard of them but I bet they are gorgeous and I will write that down as well.
6:10 am
bichon
The Adirondaks in Oct. would be fantastic
6:11 am
Scrabbler
Stunning! I have been there in the fall too.
6:12 am
sandyloo
I guess it would be very picturesque with the leaves falling ect. We dont really get that much here as we really only have two seasons. autumn and spring are very short lived
6:13 am
sandyloo
I will make sure to tell her the alternatives to the dude ranch thing. A lot of these ranches seem to be closed during that time.
6:15 am
sandyloo
she has travelled an awful lot during her life so is looking for something different. She had a job which involved travelling all over the place.
6:16 am
Scrabbler
It depends on what she wants to see.
6:17 am
sandyloo
We like hiking and kayaking so it might appeal if the ranches are closed.
6:17 am
sandyloo
Where I live there are lots of walks and also lots of places to kayak. We have kayaks
6:17 am
Scrabbler
The Adirondack Mtns, at least the southeastern portion, are a 3-4 hour drive from New York City.
6:18 am
sandyloo
I am sure that your tourist places can arrange things if she was interested
6:23 am
sandyloo
what time is it there Scrab, it's 7,24pm here
6:24 am
Scrabbler
7:24 am. I just woke up and will be selling my art at the local farmers market in an hour.
6:25 am
sandyloo
You clever thing. we have a great farmers market in margaret river and lots and lots of artists live down here
6:25 am
sandyloo
I wont hold you up , have a great day!
6:30 am
Marc Freeman
wo7, please?
6:34 am
MollyL
wo7...the first part means to court or romance, the second part is almost all of a word that means unique then add a vowel.
6:36 am
Marc Freeman
thanks
6:37 am
MollyL
Apparently it is an alternate form of a word that means arrow poison. Very obscure word.
6:44 am
sandyloo
thanks for the clue, that helped me too. and I looked it up on google ...interesting
6:45 am
bichon
form of curare
6:46 am
MollyL
Maybe it is what Cupid dips his arrows in
: D
6:48 am
sandyloo
I could make all sorts of comments on that one molly
6:48 am
MollyL
Yes, as soon as I hit ENTER I realized I had opened Pandora's box
: )
6:49 am
Marc Freeman
re6/21, please?
6:50 am
sandyloo
Marc and Molly, have either of you two been to a dude ranch?
6:51 am
Marc Freeman
sorry no but I saw the Billy Crystal movie.
6:52 am
sandyloo
LOL so did I
6:52 am
bichon
Yes, thought of "Blazing Saddles"
6:52 am
MollyL
Most of the good dude ranches are out west. If you go to duderanch.org you can find locations. I don't think there are any in New York.
6:54 am
sandyloo
My sister wants to know and she would fly anywhere but most of them are closed in October when she is going. She wants to talk to someone who has been to one. None here in Aus-
6:54 am
bichon
www.rockinghorseranch.com this one is in NY
6:54 am
sandyloo
It would be a good business here .
6:55 am
sandyloo
I will definitely tell her about that bichon
6:55 am
bichon
obody's thought of that in in Austrailia?
6:57 am
sandyloo
We have horse holiday treks and day rides but I don't know of any live in thing. A lot of Singaporian people come to Margaret River and they go on horse rides but they do lots of other things as well.
6:57 am
MollyL
Australia has a lot of sheep stations. Not sure there are any cattle ranches though.
6:58 am

good morning all
6:59 am
sandyloo
My family has sheep stations and I used to go there for holidays. Lately some stations are providing stays for tourists. but not the horse thing and really the stations dont have the kind of scenery that the US countryside would have
7:00 am
sandyloo
We have very large cattle stations as well as sheep stations but it is mostly in very arid areas of the state
7:00 am
MollyL
Wasn't the Billy Crystal movie "City Slickers"?
7:01 am

10:06 am

lol. Hard to know which urge would be stronger: to eat it, or to leave it beautiful.
10:06 am
Vicuna
Someone earlier said it was another variant spelling for the arrow poison.
10:06 am
72 Temple Owl
it WOULD look awful once served.
10:06 am
bichon
I can't imagine ever eating an owl. They're so enchanting
10:07 am
Vicuna
It's a new one for me, for sure.
10:07 am
72 Temple Owl
you mean curare?
10:07 am

yeah, but there's a variant without the c, too, so you can see how that could be like that.

Usually spelled with an E at the end, the ox word is a chemistry term. Since I slept through chemistry, I have no clue.
10:19 am
MollyL
Definition...An ox4 is a chemical compound belonging to the imines, with the general formula R¹R²C=NOH, where R¹ is an organic side-chain and R² may be hydrogen, forming an aldoxime, or another organic group, forming a ketoxime. Hence, my tendency to nod off.
