Thanks, Hon.

1:54 am

2:00 am

hi granny, peach, and guess I missed jilli

2:01 am

oh dear, have I missed everyone?

2:03 am

hey flosey

2:03 am

no, dear, just the usual hiccup

2:03 am

hi rose

2:04 am

yes, realized that when last comment took so long

2:04 am

flosey, becoming just a tad anxious and excited.....18 days to go

2:04 am

oh I bet rose, but won't it be great to get it all over with

2:05 am

sure will, hun. starting to limp pretty badly. refusing to use walking stick. i want these muscles to work hard.

2:06 am

isn't that hard on them though?

2:06 am

lol, they gave me a DVD of exercises to do pre-op.....just when do i do them? oin my sleep?

2:06 am

hello, lovely ladies! late to the grid, but I finally made it. :)

2:07 am

hi rbud

2:07 am

hun, have to keep them functioning, otherwise rehab will take too long

2:07 am

hey rbud

2:07 am

oh, good to know that rose, thanks

2:08 am

i plan on being back at work by 8 weeks.

2:08 am

wow, you are one tough lady

2:08 am

tough, but with heart of course

2:09 am

not tough....just very stubborn.lol

2:09 am

sometimes stubborn is good

2:09 am

just had a visit from old friends from back home, on their way through the state after visiting a new great-grandbaby. Lovely woman, 74 and still working, currently in an altzheimer's unit caring for folks younger than herself in some cases, wow.

2:10 am

wow, indeed, rbud.

2:10 am

Hi there, flosey. How are you?

2:10 am

good thanks peach, you?

2:11 am

very tired, but was hoping to finish this tonight - silly me

2:11 am

she was on track to retire earlier until their house burned down, now back to where they were then, and looking at retiring next year. hope so, she deserves a break. :)

2:12 am

oh wow, what a tough break

2:12 am

OK except for allergies and sinus problems....I think most of my friends have the same complaints.

2:12 am

good grief, rbud. the nicest people seem to get the touighest deals.

2:13 am

ah, is it the time of year peach?

2:13 am

I think so, flosey.

2:14 am

peach, my problem is convincing himself to vacuum, NOT sweep. the dust sets me off terribly

2:14 am

then again, having an himself who is willing to clean floors is a bonus.....just not when i am home.

2:15 am

Yes, it does do that. If he insists on sweeping perhaps he could do it when you are out of the house.

2:16 am

understand that rose, I try to get hubby to drive slowly as he approaches the house, even though the driveway is finished with fine stone, there's still dust from it, if windows are open it comes in

2:16 am

shall we use the term ' crusty old bachelor ' to describe him?

2:16 am

Yes, you are fortunate that he does do it. Some men seem to think they are "above" cleaning.

2:16 am

lol, sometimes that does fit

2:17 am

we gave in and have a lovely girl come in for 3 - 4 hours every two weeks, helps a lot

2:18 am

well, flosey, he was a bachelor for nearly 20 years before i married him. he raised 3 kids, as a single dad. my hat is certainly off to him.

2:18 am

ah, hubby was a student when we married

2:18 am

<-- rolling eyes - sure can relate, Hubs would much rather boss everyone else around and have them clean, than lift a finger himself

2:19 am

wow, good for him, not easy for a man to raise kids

2:19 am

lucky you, flosey. my first husband was not a good choice....but we were in love, and idealistic.

2:20 am

we made it to 50 years last summer, and still going strong

2:20 am

he had to pay his own way through U so had to take a few years off to earn some money

2:20 am

WOW!!!!! some marriages are certainly made in Heaven!!

2:21 am

had our ups and downs but survived

2:22 am

flosey, i did everything in my power to keep my first marriage alive....he didn't.

2:23 am

it does take 2, rose

2:23 am

i know that now, but then...it was very frustrating.

2:24 am

now hubby and i both work together, sometimes need to nudge him a little...e.g. bathroom

2:25 am

of course, it's an uphill battle, both have to be prepared to give and take - and work together

2:25 am

I ran from first husband after he became an evil wife-beating drunk. Was only 19 at the time, but I knew it wasn't for me.

2:25 am

oh, for goodness sake, my canary is telling me off, brb. need to cover him for the night. lol

2:25 am

wow rbud, good for you, getting out isn't easy

2:26 am

he was 23 or so. thought he was a nice guy, soooo wrong, sigh...

2:27 am

if I had married at 20, would have been a disaster - my father suggested I wait until 21 which was very wise, didn't last that long

2:27 am

didn't marry this one until I was 34, thought I'd wait till I was sure this time, lol! we have 25 years in now.

2:28 am

Good for you rbud.

2:29 am

wtg rbud, smart lady, and it paid off

2:30 am

I was 29 when we were married

2:31 am

what lovely stories from both of you. current hubby and i have been griends for nearly 28 years, been married for the last 8. i think the trick is...be a friend first, then move deeper if both of you want to do so.

2:32 am

Good advice, rose.

2:33 am

Dear peeps, I'm going to have to go to bed. See y'all later in the day.

2:33 am

of course, he was much more circumspect than i....i had to wait for 6 years before he could commit himself to me.

2:33 am

peach, sleep well, hun

2:34 am

now, I really must get to bed, going to Victoria tomorrow

2:34 am

nite peach, sleep well

2:34 am

hubby and I were married for 13 yrs when he had a 'midlife crisis' and went off the rails.....he sorted himself out and we have been back together nearly 16 yrs - certainly better 2nd time around.

2:34 am

lovely chatting, goodnight now

2:34 am

nite, flosey

2:34 am

great that it worked out diz

2:34 am

night, flosey, sleep well, hun

2:35 am

ah, the midlife crisis, those can sure be rough

2:35 am

and hi diz

2:35 am

LOL rbud....rough ain't the word.

2:35 am

hi granny

2:38 am

BBL dinner time xx

2:38 am

enjoy, diz, see you after the flip tomorrow

2:40 am

on another subject, I got a new(er) truck Monday, am enjoying it muchly, newest vehicle I've ever owned.

2:41 am

needs a little bit of body work along the wheel wells, but hubby has a nephew with a body shop, think it will be near perfect after that.

2:42 am

yay, rbud. that's great news

2:43 am

gosh, it even has working AC, haven't had one with that for years. Yay!

2:44 am

lol, rbud, when i bought my first NEW car a few years back, i was amazed to have working heating.

2:46 am

isn't it amazing just what we will put up with?

2:47 am

no kidding, many's the car I've owned over the years that was only good for getting from point A to point B, and had nothing much else going for it.

2:47 am

lol, rbud, me, too

2:48 am

I just wish they'd never stopped putting in good old wing windows and lower inside vents that actually let in real outside air, like in our old '71 Chevy truck (we still have it)

2:49 am

most dependable vehicle we've owned over the years, never fails to start and run.

2:50 am

something always going wrong with the newer ones we've had.

2:50 am

rbud, we have a saying over here...refers to AC, 4WD4o...4 windows down and 40 mph

2:52 am

heehee! that about describes it! :)

2:55 am

how you going with the grid, hun?

2:56 am

hmmm, now that you ask, I'm looking - have nbt, nbs, and 105 words. Not bad for the late start.

bye x

4:56 am

good morning my babble friends

4:56 am

hey crossy

4:59 am

you know i used to complain in my own mind at least about babble being the same ole,same ole,never updating,never refresing itself,never going for a new look,or new things to do added on but i may have to revise my way of thinking. i am also playing a game on facebook called gardens of time and the thing is in beta mode and stuff seems to be changing every 5 minutes and of course the inherant bugs and glitches that come along with it,so now when i come into babble it is like finding your old pair of comfortable slipper and reading chair exactly where you left it,unchanged and familliar;))

hiya crosshair x

5:00 am

howdy sarah,howdy bojazz

5:01 am

Good morning all.....and yes Crossy.....I agree with you whole heartedly!!

5:01 am

good thoughts, crossy - could apply that to many things

5:01 am

morning flask

5:03 am

5:05 am

mm.see what happens when i get up at 5 am and have not had a tea yet? i start thinking! i best go get a cuppa:)

5:13 am

hello bojazz, haven't seen you in a while

5:14 am

5:14 am

hope you're well

5:14 am

that va7 is the Fr word for either chicken pox or measles, I don't remember which

5:14 am

ahah, a lurker!

5:15 am

thank you. If I remeber correctly, you're in New Orleans....

5:15 am

neither pox nor measles! lol

5:15 am

south carolina - close

5:15 am

5:16 am

hey, same country :)

5:16 am

the flag was a subtle clue

5:17 am

hope your weather has caught up - we've been blessed since Feb - very nice

5:18 am

we had a beautiful, warm Feb, a very cold Mar and then endless rain and cold in Apr and May. June has brought a little bit of sun, but not as much as I'd like

5:19 am

at the moment, it's beautiful!

5:19 am

it's been great here and we've been getting rain - hotter this weekend - 93

5:20 am

beautiful morning here,sunny day and 14c

5:20 am

i would think anyday in Canada is beautiful

5:21 am

we are blessed in this part of it

5:21 am

does the Gulf Stream pass near you, crossy?

5:22 am

not even close to us ruby

5:22 am

(had to find a map of it on google) lol

5:22 am

:(

5:23 am

closest it comes to us is what looks like the very southernmost points of the united states

5:24 am

off Florida, it was where the fishing boats went

5:25 am

(written like English was not my first language LOL)

5:25 am

http://tinyurl.com/8xk9fus

babble 101

5:28 am

*most

5:29 am

close enough for jazz!

5:31 am

hehe,son alarm just went off.got him this teenager-proof model. it starts of with a real soft beep-beep-beep and slowly rises in volume to level suitable for rock concerts

5:32 am

you could use a small firecracker with a long fuse!

5:34 am

yay half!

5:35 am

not even a 1/4 yet

5:36 am

no nbt, 8's or 9, though

5:36 am

and it's almost nap time

5:36 am

there is this new alarm clock that is based loosly on that perfection game of old where you had to put the different shaped bits in the holes within a certain time or they would launch everywhere.this clock has 6 different shapes and when the alarm goes off,it launches them all over the room and the only way to shut the ting off is to find all 6 pieces and put them back in the holes and push the button

5:36 am

just got up - would love a nap :)

5:37 am

sounds like fun crossy - my son would have done me in for that ...

5:37 am

that sounds like a torture device! If anybody put one of those near me in the morning, I would pick up the pieces and let the person eat them!

5:38 am

lol

5:38 am

ruby has a nasty streak watch out!!

5:39 am

especially if I'm awakened from a precious nap....grrrrr

5:39 am

"no,no we never disturb naps around here,night sleep is so fragmented the nap is holy and remains apart

5:40 am

exactly!

5:40 am

god bless and forever keep the mid-afternoon power nap

5:43 am

6:14 am

she said "go ahead.but there are 2 things you should know..number one,she cannot be better looking than me and number 2 and if she is,i may leave you for the other woman and we will both sue your arse for alimony..so thing some more about this"

6:15 am

6:24 am

hello everyone

6:24 am

of course, Scrabs! Lovely to have you. How are you holding up?

6:24 am

Hi Annie + Bobby

6:24 am

Scrabbs, I am reading The Murder of the Century and it is great reading

6:24 am

hi Annie :)

6:25 am

Yay, Annie!

6:25 am

is it a detective, Annie, or something historical, or both?

6:25 am

hi sprite and crossy

6:25 am

howdy annie

6:25 am

Bobby waves hi

6:25 am

I have 50 pages to go and love it. I don't want to finish the book. That is the sign of a great book.

6:25 am

*waves hi back to Bobbie*

6:26 am

Historical fiction based on a true crime story in New York City in 1897. Actual documents were used in creating the book.

6:26 am

lol sprite whenever we all go out as a family,my son will often pretend other couples are his family to avoid embarrasment

6:26 am

Scrabbs recommended the book...it is about a grisly murder and the tabloid war that ensued from it. I have read about 70 pages and I am into it

6:27 am

crossy notes the book for the mrs who is a true crime book lover

6:27 am

same here, lol, crossy. And they can look at eachother and shake their heads over us... and we just fold and laugh and laugh...

6:27 am

wow, sounds like a must-read

6:27 am

There are several themes--murder, newspaper battles/development, the NY Police Dept, immigrants in NYC, the start of forensic crime studies, etc.

6:27 am

As soon as Scrabbs described the book, I went onto Amazon and bought it.

6:28 am

oh lovely! Yes, must read that one.

6:28 am

Name that proper noun...Mr. John

6:28 am

Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst are involved in creating newspaper powers.

6:28 am

dilton?

6:28 am

Elton! Sir Elton! True name = Reginald Dwight.

6:29 am

ding ding ding

6:29 am

ah, sorry. I SO want dilton to be a word. WTG Scrabs :D

6:29 am

6:30 am

6:30 am

I am leaving Saturday morning for 5 days of hiking and kayaking in Pennsylvania--Pine Creek Gorge--the "Grand Canyon of the East."

6:30 am

6:37 am

scar

6:37 am

am glad, crossy. Nasty thing :( Now keep on taking care of it until it is back to normal.

6:40 am

i find it interesting that i am more likely to want to use a word in a comment once i have seen it in the grid

7:30 am

:) glad it helped!

7:30 am

Good Morning Everybody. How are you all doing today? :-)

7:30 am

hehehe yes indeed... it is like not thinking of the elephant in the corner of the room.

7:31 am

:)

7:31 am

hi nef

hi Nef :)

7:31 am

hi hursh

7:31 am

hi

7:31 am

hey Nef and Hursh :)

7:31 am

hi hurshy

7:31 am

hi hurshy

7:31 am

phantom: lilies

7:31 am

and lipid

7:32 am

hi pab

7:32 am

hurshy, did you go to the interview yet?

7:32 am

yes, it was tuesday

7:32 am

interview?

7:32 am

how did it go?

7:32 am

I have to laugh; I was working and working on that far right L when sprite helped me out! :-)

7:33 am

*grins* Glad to be of service, Nef :D

7:33 am

I hope it went well and good luck to you

7:33 am

sprite is so helpful!

7:33 am

Ooh! Interviews?

7:33 am

i had a job interview. it wasn't that great. there were 3 people conducting it which was a bit overwhelming. i felt like a deer in headlights and couldn't think.

7:33 am

argh that is so ugly, hursh. 3 to 1 is aweful.

7:33 am

(((hurshy))) was it a job you were very interested in?

7:34 am

oh, medium, nef. it had certain advantages. but i don't mind if i don't get called back.

7:34 am

hurshy, they ganged up on you but you are a bright girl...I am sure that came through

7:34 am

gosh i know what you mean. . .i had a job interview where i was interviewed by six board members, did a role play, and THEN was interviewed by 20 staff members!

7:34 am

r's ravaged!

7:34 am

jeezzzz jmc... that is downright cruel

7:34 am

hold out for your dream job if you can!

7:34 am

rightly rocking, dawg

7:35 am

geez, that interview sounds more like an inquisition

7:35 am

wtg lbd

7:35 am

i have trouble conversing with people i've just met under any circumstances... so it's not exactly my strong suit to interview.

7:35 am

no it is just quakers have this odd ideas about hiring

7:35 am

I was interviewed several times by 3-4 people for the nurse manager job. I ended up so confused I didn't know who they were for several weeks! :-)

7:36 am

hursh, if they are looking for someone comfortable with that amount of pressure and stress, the job is not healthy for you. And if they don't, they will know how to read people who are overwhelmed by it and judge accordingly.

7:36 am

lol, nef.

7:36 am

i felt like mitt romney - stiff and no personality

7:37 am

haha i am sure you were better than that

7:37 am

i think the only interview that was close to that was at the university. interviewed by the staff of the office/program, then the deans of student affairs, then then hiring committee. oh and some students.

7:37 am

*hugs hursh* I liked you very much, when we met, right away.

7:37 am

but sprite we knew each other from here so that helped :)

7:38 am

(BTW, I'm back working very part time as Nurse Manager; but only for certain functions and policies; and work I can do at home. Brand new postion, just announced this week)

7:38 am

yay nef!

7:38 am

true, but still :) You were awesome. Radiating intelligence. So their loss if they cannot see through the very understandable stiltedness.

7:38 am

are you happy with doing that, Nef?

7:39 am

oh great, Nef, congrats :)

7:39 am

that's cool nef

7:39 am

good luck, Hursh. if they don't see your strengths... pooh on them! their loss.

7:39 am

i have interviewed dozens if not hundreds of people hursh and after a while you see beyond the interview nerves

7:40 am

i guess but if the nerves really prevent you from giving them the answers and information they need... i dunno. whatever. it's all good.

7:41 am

It's expanding, they are moving; and this will make it easier for the clinic manager with all that going on. My job is to do the grants and keep them in compliance with all the laws. *Very* part-time; because I can't le*** DH alone much right now.

7:42 am

its nice it is something you can do some from at home

7:42 am

sounds like a good match, nef

7:42 am

hurshy, everytime you go for an interview, remember that they are just as human as you are, and don't you dare sell yourself short! YOU are a fabulous person; and We all know that!

7:43 am

amen to that, Nef

7:43 am

hear hear nef!

7:43 am

ditto

7:43 am

ditto

7:44 am

thanks. i was thinking all these good preparatory things before i went in, and being myself, and all that, but then, it just flew out the window.

7:45 am

yeah well it would with most people, hursh, when faced with a 3-man commission. Don't worry. You will be hired by a company that appreciates what you have to offer. If it is not them, it is their loss.

7:45 am

When I was looking for a job; I kept telling myself that I knew I was a good nurse; I may not have been an expert at the area of nursing I was interviewing for; but I could learn! Keep telling yourself that too, hursh.

7:45 am

it's my same "company" :) yale.

7:46 am

i think i do better with small businesses.

7:46 am

i write a small note or one word cue somewhere unobtrusive and look at it. . . for class it is WAIT:why am I talking. . . .for interviews it is FAB (no explanation needed) and peek at it as needed

7:46 am

That's good! You know the "company!" :-)

7:46 am

then they should know your value in your work with them.

7:47 am

it's big, though, dawg - the people who interview you for one job don't know you from your other job.

7:47 am

well they know you work for yale so you're not likely to be a dummy

7:47 am

if they are interested, they know where to find some more info on you then, hursh. And it they are not, booh for them.

7:48 am

you'd be surprised, jmc...

7:48 am

no, but they at least have some of your work records, right?

7:48 am

haha!

7:48 am

but they know people you know. and one big thing about internal interviews, you know the policies and all the icky stuff they'd have to teach and train a newbie on as well as the job.

7:49 am

it is all relative hursh. . . when i went to rice we thought the jocks were dummies but in comparison to jocks at other schools. . .

7:49 am

yes but i suspect a lot of the other candidates are internal also.

7:50 am

Possibilities, but you gave it a try, if you get the position AWESOME, if not, it's a good experience and you dusted off your resume for the next time.

7:50 am

and since some of them ARE dummies, you will look better anyway. Trust yourself. You will find a good job.

7:50 am

yes.

7:50 am

more phantoms: drive, derive

7:50 am

and drivel!

7:51 am

43 remaining...bbl time to send hubs off to work.

Would be fun to type our names with auto correct.

10:49 am

11:14 am

Naughty ruru aka tutu.

greetings weirdos

11:18 am

Gwen, right on time : D

shall we discuss deep things? lol

11:20 am

I don't know. Can I wax poetic on them, deeply?

yeah, sore, okay

oops, i mean sure, okay

11:24 am

we await your musings with baited breath:)

11:25 am

did not need the rack of ribs and bbq afterall molly,lots of wind,lots of rain,a smattering of hail but the twister was not meant to be

lovely poem, crossy! lol

11:29 am

? what poem?

did not need the rack of ribs and bbqafterall molly,lots of wind,lots of rain,a smattering of hail but the twister was not meant to be

OOPS, i meant to post it like a poem: did not need the rack of ribs and bbq after all molly, lots of wind, lots of rain, a smattering of hail but the twister was not meant to be

11:31 am

ode to ribs,how i love thee,with a loving coating of hickory bbq sauce,i kiss you with the flames from my hands to your tender skin as you give up your succlent flest to my lips..

11:31 am

lol

11:31 am

flesh

lawdy lawd ... lol

11:31 am

hehge

11:32 am

darn tiny keyboards and my paws as big as bread and butter plates:(

are you playing on a puter or a watch? lol

11:33 am

do not think it would make a difference

11:34 am

and a moment of silence my fellow bibliophiles for Ray Bradbury who passed recently...

11:35 am

problems is that copy of his book i want is going up in value as we speak

darn celebrities and their insistence on dying before our collections are done! lol

11:36 am

e

11:36 am

indeed!

11:36 am

how dare they?

11:38 am

no matter early hardcover arkham house stuff is tough to fill anyways

oh yeah, I've never seen them in the "cheap" zone

11:39 am

just have to keep cruising garage sales and hope

11:40 am

2 years ago i saw bradburys dark carnival in g+ no dust cover,but the thing was full of library stamps and a card pocket and 2 sloppy book plates for 300

11:41 am

i kind of want a nice clean f grade

$300 is about right fair for an ex-lib. those things norally go for a lot more

11:42 am

libraries are great things,but i have seen many,many rare books ruined by some librarian with an ink pad fetish

someone published a book once called Librarians as Enemies of Books, about that same issue

11:43 am

indeed gwen a clean personal copy no dust jacket in f grade is hitting 1500 or more:(

as a dealer i avoid acquiring ex-libs unless the book is already rare

11:44 am

i saw a first ed of catcher in the rye ruined with ink stamp frenzy once

then i sell to both readaers and collectors. readers are generally happy with a Poor copy if it is priced reasonably

11:44 am

indeed,if i just want to read it,i do not care if it is a side tracked return with the cover torn off it ten years ago

you should never buy a book with the cover torn off. do not ecnourage the thieves.

11:49 am

in my collection,i have two copies of stephen kings book skeleton crew.one that is read to tatters,tape holding the front cover on and a old knee bandage holding the back cover on,writing in the margins and one pristine copy.on a dare,my mrs had me send both to him for a autograph as he has said many times that he loves to see a book that has been ridden hard..well both came back after 6 months.he had signed the ratty one and on the inside of the cover of the good one he wrote"send this one along when it looks like the other-S" was the only time he ever responded to me

11:49 am

man has a wicked sense of humor

11:50 am

i know gwen.have not done it often

i have heard he is a pretty nice guy. probably the reason it took six months is that he lets his mail pile up for a while, at least some of it, then tackles all the fan mail at once

11:51 am

most likely

also, when he signs a ratty copy, he is not increasing its value quite as much as if he signs a Fine copy

11:51 am

so now i read the clean copy and no one touches the ratty dog eared taped one lol

11:52 am

life is funny

btw, the torn off cover thing applies to paperbacks, not hardcovers ...

11:53 am

thats what i was talking about,softcovers

yep, okay

11:54 am

dn how they process returns on the hardcovers

with a hardcover you send back the entire book. now, you have heard of remainders?

11:55 am

price of things,if i sold new hardcovers,i would want them to supply them all on spec

11:55 am

i have indeed

all the major book distributors allow returns under certain conditions, so it is sorta like buying on spec

near me there is a huge ramainder store, and when i have some loose change i buy a few remainders, very carefully, of course

11:56 am

do not care for that "certain conditions" though

well, there are sometimes titles that can't be returned. a common example are textbooks where the margin is like 5% (most new books the margins is 40%)

11:57 am

if it sits on my shelf for a year,i call that a condition lol

11:57 am

40% :((((

also, after a year, that might be too long, you are now the happy owner in perpetuity lol

11:58 am

guess i am too used to conveinience retail 80-120% lol

why i handle used books only, apart from my own self-published titles of course

120% margin is impossible. i mean margin (discount) not markup!

11:59 am

indeed,now that i am among the ranks of the semi-retired,my long dream of a used book store may come to fruition

12:00 pm

gwen..those kricket lighter all corner stores sell for $1.50 or $1.75? we pay 33 cents for

12:00 pm

now that is a margin;)

12:01 pm

i am talking profit margin,not discount margin

12:01 pm

argh, can't believe I missed one of my favorite Scrabble words in here.

12:01 pm

what one?

12:01 pm

ad 4 &5

12:02 pm

ty hokie

12:02 pm

aired

12:02 pm

a tool for shaping timbers for log homes

12:03 pm

oops

12:04 pm

bad hokie

if i had an open shop i would definitely stock $0.33 items that I could sell for $1.50! (nnot including weed, lol)

your icon is adorable, hokie!

12:05 pm

thanks, just a random picture from the web.

aired is not in the grid, you are safe lol

12:06 pm

lighters,penny/5 cent candy/small nail clippers..most of that crapola they jam right at the register for impulse buys for those waiting in line will all be over 100%

12:06 pm

thats why wally-mart does it the same way

12:06 pm

lol, it's in the grid in my head.

yep. near me there is still one used book store and they have a small portion of those items: bracelets, webkinz, etc

and they are all clustered at the check-out counter area

12:07 pm

yup fancy book marks with your name on it or kittens or puppies etc

12:07 pm

ruler magnifiers

12:07 pm

clip on book lights

12:08 pm

When our Woolworths closed down our local one was taken over by Poundland. We were very snobby about it. Who would go in there? It is PACKED every day I am in there all the time!

WD-40, air fresheners, you name it. no, that's at the carwash

poundland, that's sounds violent lol

12:08 pm

I've heard of Woolworths, but not Poundland.

must be a canadian chain that we don't have down here

12:09 pm

i swore on a stack of bibles deeha,that i would avoid the wal-marts as they are hard on mom and pop stores,but at least once a month i find myself in there for one thing or another

12:09 pm

we do not have poundland

12:09 pm

Think it is Britsh and as it says every thing costs £1!!

12:09 pm

all our woolworths cloed 15 years ago

mall-wart is the most evil corporation on the planet. please do not shop there!

12:10 pm

it bothers mer as well gwen

oops, i meant UK. missed your flag, deeha!

12:10 pm

Poundland is to the UK what Dollar Stores are to the US

12:10 pm

I only go there if I'm nearby and really need something.

12:10 pm

Walmart took over one of our chains - cant remember which- but they kept the original name

we have dollar stores up the wazoo. dollar castle, family dollar, etc, etc. everything is cheap plastic crap made in china

12:11 pm

i agree gewn,they treat employees like cattle and 99.98% of the cruft comes fro 3rd world countries where people get used for a dollar a day

12:11 pm

You are right about dollar stores Gwen.

i have sold books on the evils of mall-wart. and i read one of them (which is a rare event, for me, lol)

12:11 pm

True - but times are hard!! Anyway must dash got to get ready to go out. Bye all poof

12:12 pm

last time i was in wal mart i spent a half hour looking for something made in canada

12:12 pm

haha

they have more evil policies than any corporation, and that includes AOL, Microshaft, and ATT! lol

12:13 pm

so i left and bought my wood framed futom from a local mill,who uses local products and employs my neighbours

12:13 pm

futon

12:14 pm

same with my mission bed

i buy local as much as possible. we have a wonderful local grocery chain where i buy nearly everything, and i get the rest from costco, one of the most ethical corporations on the planet

12:14 pm

nearest costco is hour away from me so i do not food shop there

12:15 pm

I love Costco, but I have to drive 35 min. to one and 45 min. to the other.

12:15 pm

Sadly, the problem is, most people don't care about corporate greed and their crappy corporate policies. People will shop anywhere they can get a good deal.

12:15 pm

i use metro(formerly A7P0

and i get rice from this tiny chinese food store where most ofthe staff don't speak english

12:15 pm

I've heard they're building one very close next year or so. Yay!

12:15 pm

A&P*

my mission in life (among several thousand) is to spread the word about mall-wart and costco

12:16 pm

Costco, and stores like that, are great if you are shopping for a family of 5. Not so great if you are shopping for two. Unless you have a huge budget that allows freezer storage and pantry storage.

12:16 pm

ok,tell us why costco is so much better..sell me

12:16 pm

here you pay incredible amounts for manufactured things, e.g. aluminum foil, soap powder, etc. but food is very cheap.

yeah, i live alone, so i only buy a few things at costco, like soda pop (my major vice) and the occasional DVD

12:17 pm

and mthere is no real choice

the CEO of costo is hated by other CEOs because he takes a reasonable salary.

12:18 pm

you can only stop brushing your teeth or washing clothes

costco is not open late on the weekends so their staff can have a life

12:18 pm

I even love Costco's baked goods, but I will have to split it with a friend or it will get thrown away here.

costco operates on a 12% markup, or less, except for their own store brand, which they sell for a 14% markup

12:18 pm

That is the problem with Costco and BJs - we don't need all that stuff at one time!

12:19 pm

Costco has amazing baked goods. I do the same thing (split them) Hokie.

costco pays a living wage

costco staff, in my personal experience, and friendly and helpful

12:19 pm

LOL! The closest Costco that I can find is 6 hours from me... *snaps fingers* darn the bad luck! But I do not step foot in WallyWorld more than once a year, and that's pushing it.

12:20 pm

To balance the markup comment, Costco also charges a membership fee, which allows them to operate at a lower markup.

yes, the one downside is that costco is a "warehouse" store. you can't buy just one onion, you have to buy a 5-pound sack of onions (for example)

12:20 pm

well spoken gwen,may have to research them a bit

12:20 pm

oh,bulk only??

costco and sams club (which is a mall-wart company) both charge an annual membership fee.

12:21 pm

and BJ's

12:21 pm

That's why I said they are great if you are shopping for a family of five.

12:22 pm

i can see it now..wife would have me spending 2500 dollars on non perishables and shopping twice a year

when i joined costco i looked at the one item i planned to buy there, which was my OTC allergy pill, and after joining for $50, I calculated that I would still save money on my allergy pill, so I joined

i also buy toilet paper (something like 30 rolls for $9) and office supplies there

they have fairly cheap toner cartridges, but not for every printer ...

12:24 pm

The problem with cost effective grocery shopping is that most people don't have time to go to one place for one value and another place for another value and yet another place for value number three.

12:24 pm

well,there may be something to this..assuming you need a skid of peanut butter or 500 cans of tuna or a 10 kg can of mustard;)

molly, yeah, it's sometimes kind of annoying, since i have 4 or 5 places where i get my groceries and stuff now ...

12:24 pm

Consumer Reports gave Costco the top grade. They are honest, don't overprice and worth the trip.

12:25 pm

Also, Costco rotates their stock. So the deal you find there this week may not be there next week.

well, not everything is huge quantities only, i mean, they sell individual DVDs and books and bags of snack food

12:25 pm

Not quite that bad crossy - 2 pks, 3pks and 4pks the rule

12:25 pm

Hello... are we discussing efficient grocery shopping? That I was not expecting...

12:25 pm

molly,my mother in law drives me nuts with that.she will go on one side of town for the bread on sale,the other side for tuna etc.make 15 stops to do the weekly shopping and she calls it a saving.i say"but you spent 20 dollars in gasoline doing it and 4 hours of time"

12:26 pm

hi people. Had to chime in.

yeah, costco stocks only what it feels are good products that they can get for good prices. so they sometimes have the Coca-Cola made with cane sugar, and sometimes they don't

12:26 pm

VIa, you never know with this place.

12:26 pm

i like the cane sugar pops

12:26 pm

very true

12:26 pm

today is full of surprises -- I woke up with my lower lip as big as my head

12:27 pm

oh, no!

12:27 pm

that would be a surprise

how big is your head? oh, i mean, hope you get better soon!

12:27 pm

Gwen, I just saw your profile and checked out your web page. Do you have Ancient Greek texts?

12:27 pm

my mom and I borrowed Costco card from her friend when I moved into my new place so I could stock up on cheap basics... once every six months is kind of enough for Costco I think

12:27 pm

We are only 2 so we go about every 3 mys. There clothes are good, their meat id 5x better than our supermoarkets and I know how to butcher.

12:27 pm

okay, I guess it's more like the size of my nose.

god, you can use the keyword search and just put in greek. but let me check ...

12:28 pm

I love Costco. We pay the $100 membership fee but we get a reward check every year from Costco and one from AMEX (Costco's credit card) that more than makes up the fee. We also have used their travel many times. So much less expensive than regular travel sites.

12:28 pm

mys = months

12:28 pm

Via...allergy to something?

12:28 pm

Ah, I see. I wasn't sure about that.

12:29 pm

well, I had a spot in my lip for weeks that would start to heal and then I'd accidentally bite it again, and then I guess it got infected or something.

12:29 pm

Maybe rinse with peroxide?

12:29 pm

they said hold a hot wet cloth to it a few times a day, and they gave me antibiotics

12:29 pm

Habes, you must spend a lot of money at Costco. I've never heard of the rewards check thing.

12:30 pm

Oh, you have been to the doctor. Good.

12:30 pm

When I was in NY i was a Sams club member. They stunk and when they renewed my membership without even a notice I left. Costco will tell you it is due but not do ir automatically. It was extended on our next trip.

12:30 pm

I look hella-cool now though. I suspect this will be the hottest fashion trend in 2013. People will be getting surgery to inflate half of their lower lip.

12:30 pm

gwen or anyone else,do you know the site where you can join up and help translate old greek scroll fragments?? i had it once and lost it

12:30 pm

Cool. We can call it the Half-Jolie look.

i have a few books on Greek language and grammar for bible study, that's it

12:31 pm

Wish we had costco here. Stuck with Sam's. Still, it's worth it for some things

12:31 pm

exactly!

12:31 pm

My friend & I split a Costco membership and we just upgraded to the premium membership to get the checks. We have spent a lot of money there.

cross, sorry, don't know that site! you tried googling < translate old greek scroll fragments > ?

12:31 pm

Mag, Sam's is exclusive to some areas due to the WalMart pull in the area.

12:32 pm

People may regret the surgery once they realize how challenging it is to eat. But sometimes you just gotta suffer for fashion.

sam's club is evil! it is an arm of mall-wart! (okay, i'm done, maybe) lol

12:32 pm

Hokie, that is the way for smaller families to get value at Costco.

12:32 pm

Yep. We're just close enough to Arkansas to qualify for that.sigh

12:32 pm

I have bought a set of patio furniture and an embroidery machine as well as a million smaller things. ;-)

well, i'm off for now. got books to ship to customers. toodle-oo

12:33 pm

I'm buying Serta mattresses at Sam's later today. They are a good deal.

12:34 pm

Years ago when we only had Sam's they made me mad because you had to be a business to get a membership. Then the BJs opened and they would take anybody's money!

12:36 pm

magmom, we bought a Serta mattress at a Sam's in 1996 for our guest bedroom and it's still on there! I was actually just looking a couple of weeks ago at mattresses on Costco's site. They will deliver them.

12:36 pm

Try this: http://www.lexilogos.com/english/greek _ancient_dictionary.htm

12:36 pm

When our Costco opened they gave free one year memberships. We switched from Sam's then and never went back. We do spend a lot there because I buy everything there. Televisions, DVD players, clothing, and groceries. They also have cheaper medications. And, now they refill your ink cartridges for around $6. You can

12:36 pm

Sorry, you can't beat that price.

1:26 pm

I share your pain. ~:o/

1:30 pm

phantom "zealot"

1:32 pm

there are way too many almost words today...

1:32 pm

that is usually a sign of the evils lurking within

1:33 pm

can you clue the 8 that is not a muscle?

1:33 pm

yep, evil would be one of them...

1:33 pm

it's an en

1:33 pm

1:35 pm

yvw

1:35 pm

now all that is left are 100 four letter babblets;(

1:36 pm

that should go rather quickly...

1:36 pm

indeed,will just let the cat walk back and forth across the keyboard for an hour...

1:37 pm

LOL! Yes. I need to turn it over to my 22 month old grandson...

1:38 pm

yup,tell him to type any 4 letters he wishes and hit enter and to do it 300 times

1:39 pm

I think I'd just let him type and I'd be in charge of entering... he has a nasty little habit of prying the keys off of laptops.

1:40 pm

mm,good plan then

1:40 pm

almost 2..have you warned mom and dad to batten down the hatches? hehe

1:41 pm

he has an older brother who will be 6 in July, so I think they think they're prepared, LOL!

1:42 pm

good stuff

1:42 pm

Little do they know... *rubs hands in glee* bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha.

1:42 pm

yes..the teens....

1:43 pm

i have an 18 year old who grunts at me unless it has to do with money ro the car,then he is a master spokesman

1:43 pm

or

1:45 pm

one granddaughter will be 12 in July, other will be 9... my son had one attitude episode that I let last about 3 weeks before I nailed him on it and we haven't had any problems since...

1:45 pm

he was about 15

1:46 pm

funny kid though,he had weekly allowance from me and was picking up odd jobs.now he wanted a laptop,but he had to budget clothing out of the funds(tryingf to teach the boy budgeting) well! last 3 month the kid wore rags and got his new laptop 2 days ago..was quite funny

1:46 pm

watch that 12 year old grand daughter,she will have mom going insane any time now

1:46 pm

Amelu, you have the right idea. So many parents just put up with that stuff, instead of confronting it head on.

1:47 pm

hi just started - I don't see how I can possibly get 200 words out of this grid

1:48 pm

said I wasn't sure which of us would be more surprised when he was picking himself up off the floor, me or him. why, he asked. because if you keep that attitude up I'm gonna SNAP and we'll be lucky if you keep all your teeth. He pondered for a moment and said Sorry mama, I didn't realize I've been acting that way.h

1:48 pm

one thing i learned is say what you mean and with it comes to punishments and removal of privilages for offences,never relent..ever! once it is applied let it run the selected time

1:48 pm

good stuff amelu

1:49 pm

Yes, mom is already borderline, LOL! She says "I never acted like that! Where did she get it from???" We just laugh and roll our eyes.

1:49 pm

Harry, the grid is evil. Run while you still can.

1:49 pm

the parents curse...it works

1:49 pm

already 52 in. too late

1:49 pm

run harry! run! save yourself!!

1:50 pm

heehee....it can't be _that_ bad, can it? I mean, we survived 8 years of George W Bush

1:50 pm

I"ve been here for almost 4 hours (sheesh, time flies!) and only have 170... only about 18 words in the last hour...

1:51 pm

Yes, and are somehow surviving the Obama years.

1:51 pm

not all of us are surviving

1:51 pm

ill take obama,you can have our premier dad lol

1:51 pm

One thing i learnt from my teenage son (he isnow 24) is not to rise to his level.Don't get angry and end up grounding them for the rest of their life time!!!

1:51 pm

This is true Harry. I should have chosen my words more carefully.

1:52 pm

btw, all of you talking about teenage kids - I'm sticking my head in the sand. tyvm

1:52 pm

Oh wow, if I could package him up, I would FedEx him up there overnight.

1:52 pm

1:53 pm

and our taxes

1:53 pm

No thanks to both.

1:53 pm

but hands off our health care!

1:54 pm

That's interesting because your health care comes from your taxes.

1:54 pm

it does...a catch 22 it is

1:55 pm

woohoo blacked out the Z

1:55 pm

:)

1:55 pm

Good job, harry!

1:55 pm

but i would rather pay 5.20 a u.s gallon for gas than lose my home to pay for an operation

1:58 pm

Harry is a Babble Stud : D

1:58 pm

and of course sin taxes are very,very high booze,smokes etc

1:59 pm

3:37 pm

ya think!?!

3:39 pm

I know people who commute an hour or more to work. I refuse to do that. I have better things to do with my life.

3:39 pm

amen

3:40 pm

And they all say that it's much cheaper to live where they live. Well yeah, but they are spending everything they save on housing on gas and wear and tear on their cars. Not to mention the stress.

3:40 pm

you can make more money but no one can get anymore time. it's precious!

3:41 pm

( says the wise old sage)

I agree whole heartedly, Hego.

4:31 pm

was that about the grid, or something else?

4:32 pm

*Pats Lillann on the head and fixes her a drink*

4:33 pm

i have cheese & crackers, would that help?

4:34 pm

my daughter

4:34 pm

hi molly and hurshy

4:34 pm

<---Is afraid to ask

4:34 pm

what did she do?

4:35 pm

(fools rush in where angels fear to tread)

4:36 pm

she's been trying for a fight all afternoon when we were out shopping...@whatever@ is her favourite word to anything i said, crashing the shopping trolley into the back of my chair, walking off with it when i wanted to put shopping in it...being sarcastic, nasty and a right brat!!

4:37 pm

how old is she?

4:38 pm

need food brb.

4:38 pm

let her poor arthritic grandad bring the shopping bags from the car, because she was too busy holding my old cat who doesn't like to be held by her...

4:38 pm

That kind of crap would have her grounded for a week if I were her mother. Especially crashing the cart into your chair.

4:38 pm

nearly 13...going on 17!!!

4:39 pm

i've told her she is grounded for a week

4:39 pm

i've also told her that her horse riding lessons have now finished!!

4:39 pm

Good for you Lilliann. She and her nasty attitude can have a lovely time together in her room.

4:39 pm

Double good for you.

4:41 pm

she went last night, and they charged her £11 for 30 mins instead of £14 for an hour, all because there were no other riders.how does that work?? she is doing the same thing every week and riding the same horses that she complains about!

4:44 pm

Teenagers can be miserable and ungrateful. I'm sorry she's got you so stressed out.

4:45 pm

I went through the teenage thing with my daughter. Now she's 33 and has a daughter herself. It can be brutal, but won't last forever

4:45 pm

she's now upset and crying in her room!! i'm sorry but i'm the bad one yet again, even though her dad and grandad who take her riding say thet it is a waste of money, unless you have a horse stabled there and i'm the one who gets all her bad attitude when nothing goes her way or i tell her off. i have enough to cope with and am sick of the swearing and nasty attitude towards me...all because i'm being the parent!!

4:46 pm

You are not the bad one.

4:46 pm

this is why i have cats.

4:47 pm

that's just the way it is Lili and there's really not much you can do about it to make it stop. It will pass and you two will be loving buddies at some point in the future

4:49 pm

keep on being the parent lil.... i had to be the parent.. my husband weas either drunk of hung over.. his parents were way to soft and mine were not here..... so i was the bitch.................... and they are all so grateful now.... first of all, that i let them live and second , that i made them into responsible, caring human beings it was tough, but i proudly wear my pink bitch hat that they gave me and laugh as they are being "tough" on their own kids

4:50 pm

Wise words SMom. I salute you and your pink hat.

4:50 pm

pronounced on each one of therm... my "mother's curse".... ''I HOPE YOPU HAVE KIDS JUST LIKE YOU!!' AND THEY DID-lol

4:51 pm

hurshy, there is wisdom in that statement.

4:51 pm

i know bichon, i was the same with my mam, as in not getting along all the time, but i never swore...didn't dare but i was 16/17 and i was the best of friends with my mam from 23 and still on going

4:53 pm

Lili, times are different now. I hate to say it, but children aren't nearly as afraid of our parent's might as we were when we were little. That's why you have to ignore the swearing and persevere

4:53 pm

sorry, am reading throught he chat..my daughter just came and gave me a hug and we've talked a little bit but i've sent her to bed as it's late and she needs to sleep and i can't talk over everything tonight...

4:54 pm

We used to make up and I would always tell her that Mothers and daughter fight and make up.

4:56 pm

For all the hard times, like Lilliann is describing, kids also bring an immense amount of love and joy. I could never say I would rather have animals than kids.

4:57 pm

I don't know if anyone here watches "Mad Men". The mother is a real cold hearted bitch and she and her daughter Sally, now 12 are always going at it. Sally got her period and who did she run to for comfort, yes, Mom

4:57 pm

I said that half-jokingly Molly. But, pets are never mad at you, want to drive the car, or go to college

4:58 pm

I hear you Bich.

4:59 pm

I'm glad she came and gave you a hug, Lilliann. Better to end the night that way and sort things out later.

5:00 pm

just read sammy, and good for you and so glad your bairns turned out well,but with you, they were bound too..i just hope that my daughter does too...my hubby works away alot and my family live the otherside of the country and my parents live in france so my f.i.l has her for every week but she is good for him and loads of people tell me how caring and polite she is and she iseven teaching his elderly neighbout how to read and write...so it just shows that i have bought up a lovely caring daughter...just not to me

5:01 pm

yay lil....... its worth the time and trouble huh?

5:02 pm

sammy, my mam always said"whatever turns around will come around, and your children will be just the same!! boy was she right!! lol

5:03 pm

yup

5:06 pm

I'll bow out of this one now.

5:06 pm

i wouldn't give her up for anything....but sometimes, it would be nice to have a little bit of quiet!

5:07 pm

an6 pls

5:08 pm

hi all

5:08 pm

even if you don't have children molly, it's still good to have advice, as i will take any advice i can get...whats, the good thing is that it's the 1st time we fell out in over 9 days!!! that's a record for us!! lol

ah ive watched top cat. i have it on vhs actually. forgot about it

5:26 pm

he always wanted to catch top cat

5:27 pm

i take it you're not then molly :)

5:27 pm

i need to go dust them off lol.. top cat, heckle and jeckle, droopy etc

5:27 pm

i loved wally walrus

5:27 pm

Nope, I'm not too young to remember Top Cat.

5:27 pm

cos, how can you forget about 'topcat'?

5:28 pm

:) molly

5:28 pm

its been years since I saw them... i like the older cartoons better.. 1980's and earlier.

5:28 pm

pink panther was one of my faves as a kid because they rarely ever spoke lol.. same for tom and jerry

5:28 pm

wally walrus?he wasn't in top cat!lol

5:28 pm

Cos, did you see what I said about Archie and Jiminy? Do you think now that the curse is broken, the characters will be their real age?

5:28 pm

this was back when captions weren't commonplace

5:29 pm

i know he wasb't he was in droopy

5:29 pm

i like 'beepbeep'

5:29 pm

ooooh didnt see that molly.. excellent theory.

5:29 pm

who cringed when Cos said 'older - 1980s and earlier'?

5:30 pm

everyoneloves the Roadrunner!

5:30 pm

The only character who aged was August, because he wasn't in Storybrooke. We will see, I guess.

5:30 pm

we didn't have captions in our cartoons!

5:30 pm

Oh and Emma, same reason.

5:30 pm

yay lyn :)

5:31 pm

emma wouldn't age, she was born 28 years ago the same time the curse took place

5:31 pm

me lyn and when he said captions!!

5:31 pm

duh never mind.. i misread what you said.. sorry!

5:32 pm

top cat was yellow wasn't he

5:32 pm

I'm hopeful we'll see Maleficient again in flashbacks.

5:32 pm

I think it will be explained away that the characters didn't age because of the curse. Otherwise, they would all have to wear "old" makeup. That still doesn't explain why Marco is older than Jiminy.

5:33 pm

maybe when Jiminy became a cricket he stopped aging/

5:33 pm

That will probably be the explanation.

5:33 pm

no, he was a browny colour

5:33 pm

brb MIL is here to drop off money

7:18 pm

Hardly used in that sense ..

7:18 pm

7:19 pm

7:21 pm

good evening

7:21 pm

monkeys are working overtime

7:21 pm

hi bichon

7:21 pm

7:22 pm

ty kj

7:22 pm

ty kje

7:22 pm

are you in SF yet?

7:22 pm

yw

7:22 pm

bbiab

7:23 pm

no, won't move until end of July, bichon

7:23 pm

don't even have a place there yet.... aaaaaggghhhh!!!!

7:23 pm

are you going to live in SF? What area? Son and family live in the Bay Area

7:24 pm

I am looking in Inner Richmond as first coice due to proximity to what I need, then maybe cole valley or inner sunset

7:24 pm

then nob and russian hills

7:25 pm

would love pacific heights, but could only get a dmall place there on what I would prefer to pay

7:25 pm

Everything is pricey in SF. Son lived in OUter Sunset and in Glen Park.

7:26 pm

outer sunset is reasonable (in SF terms) but would just like to be walking distance to shops/restaurants, etc

7:26 pm

found a winner yesterday, bichon... hold a sec and I'll post it for you

7:27 pm

Yes, he didn't have a car then and spent a lot of the time on the L Judah

7:27 pm

here ya go

7:27 pm

"This is a beautiful in-law units that was remodeled in 2008 and is in excellent move in condition. The unit features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 living room with hardwood floors. Both rooms have great views into a beautiful shared backyard. However, there is no kitchen so tenants will have to make other arrangement."

7:27 pm

Glen Park is near BART

7:27 pm

gues how much

7:27 pm

guess

7:27 pm

Wait, no kitchen. Is that a joke

7:28 pm

no

7:28 pm

o joke

7:28 pm

no joke

7:28 pm

I would not be astounded as to the price.

7:28 pm

other arrangements? bbq on the porch?

7:28 pm

so how much for this lovely unit with no kitchen

7:28 pm

$1700/month

7:29 pm

Is your work near BART

7:29 pm

takeit!!!

7:29 pm

but HH... also no fridge, sink, etc, let alone a stove!

7:29 pm

That's not that much for SF, but no kitchen?

7:29 pm

With a view of someone else's back yard ..

7:29 pm

I will drive, walk, or bike, bichon

7:29 pm

I'm joking :)

7:29 pm

for 1700 I can get you a tent and a campstove

7:30 pm

it is low for SF... but no kitchen!!!

7:30 pm

and go live in golden gate park - there are lots of colorful personalities

7:30 pm

so what deal can I get if I am willing to live without a toilet?

7:30 pm

heehee

7:30 pm

If you can get to work on BART, then living further out wouldn't be bad

7:30 pm

Peeing is overrated

7:31 pm

this is why we have windows!

7:31 pm

But, no place in the Bay Area is cheap.

7:31 pm

I work all hours, bichon, so car is essential... I will pay more rather than spend an hour commuting

7:32 pm

I wouldn't mind paying more, but I'd have to have a bathroom and a kitchen [however small]

7:32 pm

will give up space to live closer to work... I hate working 60+ hours, then commuting another 10-12/week

7:32 pm

yes... bathroom and kitchen are essential

7:33 pm

ok, now bbiab

7:34 pm

ok first pass through the list done. 14 left

8:56 pm

no. di5's

8:57 pm

I don't want to live in a hovel, ru

8:57 pm

you need a good agent

8:57 pm

I can ask around if you'd like

8:58 pm

one of our people found a great place on California great neighborhood.. reasonable rent.

8:58 pm

then I have to pay a huge agent fee on top of it all... will try on my own first

8:58 pm

inner richmond?

8:58 pm

I have a lot of friends in SF if you want me to ask them

8:58 pm

ok.. to start.. the weather sucks there

8:59 pm

will wallow a bit more, ru... but thanks

8:59 pm

you'll just move soon

8:59 pm

ok.. I'll be happy to help if you need.

8:59 pm

I'll drop it

8:59 pm

it

8:59 pm

california goes through IR

9:00 pm

or they must have been more in Pacific Heights?

9:00 pm

near Fillmore.. nice area.. not really Pac Heights

9:00 pm

I think they are calling that lower PH in the ads

9:01 pm

I like fillmore, of course

9:01 pm

I could see you living around there.. it's really cool

9:01 pm

also Russian Hill

9:01 pm

you'd meet more guys in the Marina

9:01 pm

russian hill gets further from my two work places than I'd like, but have looked at some there

9:02 pm

the marina has lots and lots of places with electric stoves... will live in fog first

9:02 pm

Russian HIll is on solid rock.. great for earthquakes

9:03 pm

i like noe valley also - that was very sunny

9:03 pm

I need to remodel my kitchen..it's so outdated

9:03 pm

noe valley is very nice and sunny

9:03 pm

We have a good friend who lives there and loves it

9:03 pm

nice neighborhood

9:04 pm

sigh

9:04 pm

I had forgotten how stressful moving is

9:04 pm

it'll work out

9:04 pm

you will LOVE living in SF

9:04 pm

it'll be well worth it

9:05 pm

so I keep trying to convince myself... I have move dates but no new home!

9:06 pm

you might have to look harder.. the market did pick up over the last few months due to Twitter moving to SF

9:06 pm

yes... that sucked for me... I watched rents increase

9:07 pm

yep.. a drag.. they'd been dropping previously

9:07 pm

what % of their income do you think most SFians pay for rent

9:08 pm

25%

9:08 pm

that's a guess.

9:08 pm

I bet it is higher

9:09 pm

could be.. depends..

9:09 pm

well, net vs gross, bet it is higher % of net than that

9:09 pm

we'd been thinking of buying a loft in sf .. maybe when we sell our Calistoga property

9:10 pm

sounds fun

9:10 pm

yeah.. that'd be the best of both worlds

9:12 pm

my med school loans will prevent that for my future ; )

9:12 pm

yeah.. that's a tough one. .. the $$$ really rack up for that much education

9:13 pm

it will go to the grave with me ; )

9:14 pm

that might be true..lol

9:14 pm

it'd be even more now.. with the costs at colleges

9:15 pm

our friends kid is going to Stanford and it's an easy $600K for school

9:15 pm

yes, I don't know how kids will do this... essentially we will be back to a day when only the rich can afford it

9:15 pm

yup.. too true

9:16 pm

I am the first in my fam to graduate college, so no family help... it is a killer

9:16 pm

yowza

9:16 pm

I had to pay my way through college too. no help for me either

9:17 pm

But I'm not a Doctor either

9:17 pm

thankfully no undergrad debt though due to scholarships and the Pell Grant which was decimated under Bush (but has come back a ittle)

9:17 pm

without those Pell's, I prob would have had to drop

9:17 pm

that's good.. so it could have been worse

9:18 pm

yep

9:19 pm

I had only about 3K from undergrad, mostly from my last semester, and that is paid off now

9:19 pm

it (to me) is such a crime that costs are that high and that Doctors aren't paid enough for what they do.

9:20 pm

I'd include teachers in that equation too

9:20 pm

teachers are underpaid

9:20 pm

but our athletes are doing great!!! ; )

9:21 pm

I just don't get it... Doctors and teachers and Nurses are our most valuable assets

9:21 pm

hi all!

9:21 pm

hi scrambler

9:21 pm

I'm not complaining about what docs make... my colleagues without debt are doing well... but there is a big diff for those with medical school debt, and mine is light compared to many students getting out now

9:23 pm

STudent loans can be overwhelming for many

9:23 pm

while looking for clues ruru, I noticed the golden gate on kje icon. Years ago I lived south of SF in a small town called LaHonda, near Pescadero and Half Moon Bay. It was gorgeous back in the late 70"s!

9:23 pm

I'm glad I don't have any

9:24 pm

I lived in La Honda too

9:24 pm

I house sat there for a summer

9:24 pm

no kidding! I met a guy named Gene Klingele and several others and we used to go to Boots N Saddles!

9:24 pm

it's beautiful there still

9:25 pm

I would like to see that place again, it was gorgeous except for the banana slugs! hahahaah!

9:26 pm

I know ALice's restaurant not Boots and Saddles

9:26 pm

oh yeah.. because of the redwoods

9:26 pm

a clue for the second se6/21....please

9:26 pm

where do you live now, scrambler?

9:26 pm

that's where Neil Young lives.. and sorta Joan Baez

9:27 pm
