chilly morning here, 39F and the hummingbirds are already at the feeder stocking up on energy
8:12 am
hokie carla
wow. 79F here right now at 9am, but really foggy. supposed to reach 91, which means it will feel like 1000.
8:13 am

8:14 am

more than 1/2 way and still have 3 blank tiles

I went to the list at halfway and now have 29 left. still have 5 blank tiles.
8:15 am
welki
one of my daughters (and her family) are visiting from vermont - they drove down to Yellowstone and Grand Teton and are coming back north today.
8:16 am
hokie carla
nice! how far of a drive is it?
8:16 am
hokie carla
I forgot, are you in Calgary?
8:16 am
welki
i get why they wanted to see the US national parks, but they could have rafted and seen the animals less than two hours away *lol*
8:17 am
welki
yes - it was a long drive for them, but they broke it up and stayed in a hotel half way down and up
8:18 am
hokie carla
lol. We liked Grand Teton better than Yellowstone and I feel like Grand Teton ain't got nothing on Banff.
8:19 am
hokie carla
I wanted to check out Glacier NP when we went to Banff but I think it was like a 6 hr drive.
8:19 am
welki
they also spent one night in Glacier - beautiful waterfalls
8:19 am
welki
i agree with you, but I'd stay out of banff, except to eat :)
8:19 am
welki
when you were here, did you go to johnston canyon?
8:20 am
welki
more than 6 hours to glacier - and then the drive to grand teton - with two kids in the car. ah, to be young again :D
8:21 am
hokie carla
oh, I didn't like the town of Banff. we stayed in Canmore, which I loved. we did go to Johnston Canyon and it was pretty crowded. we were there in Apr. which I think was the off-season.
8:21 am
hokie carla
Johnston Canyon and Lake Louise were the biggest crowds we saw.
8:21 am
bichon
I always have wanted to go to Jasper
8:21 am
welki
if i'd known....
8:22 am
hokie carla
we actually drove through the town of Banff and were like, nope, and didn't even park.
8:22 am
welki
i like canmore, too
8:22 am
welki
banff used to be wonderful - commercialism and lots of foreign money
8:22 am
bichon
Is Jasper less crowded
8:23 am
hokie carla
I could live in Canmore if not for the fact that bears just roam the streets in town.
8:23 am
hokie carla
we didn't make it to Jasper
8:23 am
welki
and moose, and cougars (and not the bedazzled kind)
8:23 am
hokie carla
we were on that Icefields Parkway and turned around when traffic was stopped. I think Jasper was north there, right?
8:24 am
welki
heh - we occasionally have all three in calgary, too
8:24 am
welki
yeah, you were almost there
8:25 am
welki
well, they'll be here in a few hours - time to get moving. have a great day!

we moved my oldest son into his dorm for his first year of college yesterday. I'm having a little trouble not wondering every second if he's okay.
8:29 am
bichon
done that twice
8:31 am
hokie carla
wondering how many times I checked in with my mom the first week I was in college. probably none since it was long distance phone and no email.
8:45 am
MollyL
As much as you are thinking and wondering about him, I can almost guarantee you that he is thinking about a lot of things, but home is not one of them. The first week of dorm living is fun for kids.
8:45 am
bichon
my parent made me go to a commuter college
8:49 am
bichon
I went to the same college as ruby Queens College
8:55 am

I'm June '68
8:56 am
bichon
java, what is the third coast?
8:58 am
bichon
nm, looked it up
9:01 am
java2
"Third Coast" is how the UW Milwaukee refers to it's architectural program.
9:02 am
bichon
I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAID IT WAS THE COASTLINE OF mICHIGAN
9:02 am
bichon
sorry for tha caps
9:04 am
java2
It is, and I'm not sure which came first. But since I've lived on the east coast and the west coast, it seemed logical that I should write I'm now on (or close to) the third coast.
9:07 am
cybernan
good morning everyone :)
9:08 am

Cost my folks $35 a semester, plus books
9:16 am
cybernan
keep missing the word that goes with glory and laud -- too used to seeing it with a u
9:17 am
java2
bichon, that seems about right from what I remember, too. And I parked on the street, so there wasn't even that fee.
9:21 am
java2
When I started there, I took buses (I lived in Hollis). But when my folks moved to Valley Stream, I had to drive. So I paid $800 for a '64 Rambler American.
9:24 am
bichon
I lived in Rockaway. It was subway and bus, grueling. Finally folks got me a car. I wanted to go to a residential college so I didn't have to sit around all day between casses.
9:25 am
bichon
Did you have to pay more in tuition when you moved to Valley Stream?
9:27 am
cybernan
go 6/27 please?
9:27 am
java2
I did my freshman year at Oyster Bay (part of the state system), but they requested that I not return for my sophomore year (oops). I'm not sure about the tuition cost. My mom and dad promised me 4 years, like they did my brother, so I only had to foot the bill for that last 1/2 year. And I don't remember what the cost was, but it couldn't have been much more.

that reminds me of BR's old tired joke molly.. why did people hear music at Beethoven's gravesite
11:43 am
rururocks
he was decomposing
11:43 am
MollyL
It was just Beethoven decomposing. Horrible joke.
11:43 am
saanichcat
*sigh*
11:44 am
MollyL
I don't miss those same old tired jokes, told over and over again.
11:44 am
rururocks
(you asked for it)
11:54 am
rururocks
me neither molly... not at all
11:58 am
MollyL
Especially the over told one about the perfect martini and the moment of silence for Antonio Benedetto Carpano (the inventor of Vermouth)
12:00 pm
rururocks
Apparently i missed that one. I tried to stay off babble when he was around
12:00 pm
rururocks
I am off to work now enjoy your day everyone
12:42 pm
hokie carla
and isn't the joke that the music was backward?
12:44 pm
MollyL
No, the punch line was that he was decomposing.
12:49 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I thought it was "why did people hear backward music at Beethoven's grave?" "because he was decomposing". I'm not saying it makes sense, that's just the way I heard it.
12:58 pm

hello friends. any southern US players today? Have an ignorant yankee question....
1:02 pm

What is the ignorant Yankee question?
1:03 pm
Trifioso
i have just learned of something called "pimento cheese" -- as far as I knew, pimentos were the little things in olives, and that was about it. If one does not make pimento cheese at home, how does one precure it? In a jar? From a deli?
1:05 pm
MollyL
You can make it at home, there are recipes on line. You can buy it in a jar in the store as well. It is cheese with the pimento from olives mixed in.
1:06 pm
MollyL
Amazon sells it as pimento spread.
1:06 pm
Trifioso
is it good?
1:07 pm
MollyL
It's okay on crackers and such. You have to develop a taste for it. I'm not a fan, but then, I don't care for olives.
1:18 pm
Judi
Howdillydoo, all.
1:19 pm
Judi
Yuck. Pimento cheese.
1:22 pm
Trifioso
I really don't like olives, so maybe I wont like pimento cheese. The recipes I read dont mention olives, just the pimentos
1:25 pm
robwhy
there are no olives in pimento cheese...just cheese, mayo, pimentos in some combination. If you are in Texas, Central Market sells great pimento cheese.
1:26 pm
robwhy
You want it made with real cheddar cheese...
1:26 pm
Trifioso
we just don't have it up here in the north.
1:27 pm
MollyL
I didn't mean that there were olives in pimento cheese. Just that I am not a fan of olives, which include pimento.
1:27 pm
robwhy
Many a southern child grew up eating pimento cheese sandwiches
1:29 pm
Trifioso
but it's a considered a nice food, yes? Not junky?
1:31 pm
Judi
Hmmm. I'd say junky, but I think it's one of those thing that people either love or hate.
1:33 pm
Trifioso
but there's no shame in giving kids pimento cheese sandwiches, right?
1:33 pm
Judi
Nah. Couldn't hurt them.
1:33 pm
robwhy
are there any tion words?
1:34 pm
MollyL
I would say junky too. But no more shame than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
1:34 pm
robwhy
It is junky if made with yuck processed cheese
1:34 pm
Judi
Not sure that real young kids would like it though.
1:35 pm
robwhy
The Central Mkt kind is made with real cheese and a little bit of dill. Its really good
1:36 pm
Trifioso
thank you for helping me learn. I appreciate it very much
1:39 pm
Trifioso
will look for it une, don't have it yet
1:41 pm
MollyL
The other spelling
1:42 pm
Trifioso
the ef7 was a new one on me
1:45 pm
