1:18 am

Slow today Rose - one whale and it didn't want to play! But we've had so many other good days, so not bothered!

1:19 am

yes, ruru, liz was up very early this AM to watch for whales.

1:19 am

round it's pectoral fin, ru

Round it's wrist, of course

1:19 am

1:19 am

Yours is a better answer - no surprise!

1:19 am

1:29 am

so true jilli

1:29 am

I just don't photograph well...

1:30 am

not when you bend over like that. it's definitely not your best view.could use a rose-coloured lens. might help.

1:32 am

well... then you could say I look like an ass I guess :D

1:32 am

phant -- elementary (I suppose everyone has tried that)

1:32 am

No similarity at all to a donkey

1:33 am

HA

1:33 am

I missed all clues, ruru -- can you repeat it?

1:33 am

I feel like i should egg you on for the om 6

hi flosey -- missed you the first time, was checking email etc

1:48 am

1:48 am

oh, I'm here most every night, till I reach my happy halfway point - I just don't always join in the banter. :)

1:49 am

flosey, have you got the fluffy slippers on?

1:49 am

hi rbud and pug -- never said hi to rose so hi now

1:49 am

*sob* jilli ignored me...waahhh

1:49 am

How is everyone?

1:50 am

rbud, why should my hubby be the only one.lol

1:50 am

hi pugs, good thanks, and you

1:50 am

Flosey did you get all your bread done?

1:50 am

pugs, had a busy day, but both leg joints stood(pardon the pun) up to it quite well.

1:51 am

my old man is computer non-friendly, he'll never get it, I suppose

1:51 am

Iam doing good

1:51 am

oh thats good Rose

1:52 am

when ruru is on, and i just laugh out loud very loudly, i keep getting strange looks, and muttered comments.

1:52 am

yes I did, pugs, 6 loaves and now in freezer

1:52 am

why are vowel words so hard to see?

1:52 am

Mine is too Rbud and dont even try either

1:52 am

pugs, it's flosey's 52nd wedding anniversary.

1:53 am

congrats, flosey!

1:53 am

thanks rbud

1:53 am

we had loud applause at bridge for mr and mrs flosey

1:53 am

himself and i won't make it thus far, but we will give it our best shot...

1:53 am

CONGRAT! flosey!

1:53 am

that was lovely, jilli

1:53 am

thanks pugs

1:54 am

hope i didn't spoil things for you flosey. i am so excited for you both....

1:55 am

52 years! Thats wonderful Flosey--you got big plans

1:55 am

we only made it to 48 :(

1:55 am

how might you spoil? and thanks rose

1:55 am

no we played bridge tonight at the club

1:55 am

awww, poor jilli. {{hugs}} hun.

1:55 am

he did make me a lovely breakfast

1:56 am

Hugs Jilli

1:56 am

but you'd still be going strong, jilli, if only

1:57 am

you betcha. I just wish you all could have known him -- he was fun and looking forward to being here

1:58 am

hey -- a little bird told me they had ice-wine for breakfast

1:58 am

oh, lord, himself is giving me a lecture on politics....only other thing which can shut my brain down faster is a discussion on finance.

1:59 am

lol-hugs Rose

1:59 am

lol, yes we did - and enjoyed our breakfast out on the deck

1:59 am

I don't do numbers either, rose, lol!

1:59 am

How nice Flosey

2:00 am

it was lovely

2:00 am

Flosey how did you meet your Hubby

2:00 am

he worked with the brother of a girl I worked with

2:01 am

they were french and we went to the french club

2:01 am

was it love at first site

2:02 am

really, almost - we were both seeing someone else at the time we met but there definitely was an attraction on both sides

2:03 am

I like love stories

2:04 am

flosey, that is so special, hun. i think just maybe this one is a keeper...lol

2:04 am

Rose what did you do to wear yourself out---or should I ask?

2:05 am

you bet, rose

2:06 am

hmmm. 3 loads of washing, but himself hung it out, folded, sorted and ironed 3 loads from saturday, then shopping and chemist for 1 1/2 hours.

2:06 am

wow rose, you have a keeper there yourself

2:07 am

i am trying so hard to get back to 'normal'.

2:07 am

oh you did have a busy day--But I bet you feel good too to be able to

2:07 am

i know, flosey. for me he is a man in a million.

2:08 am

had a quick email from daughter along with pics - one of her swimming in the Adriatic

2:08 am

yes pugs....it felt good to be able to do the basic things. tomorrow i drive the car for the first time in 3 weeks.

2:09 am

they went to England for a wedding, so while that far, took a side trip over to Greece

2:09 am

oh, nice flosey...as you do, hun, as you do.

2:10 am

Mine can be good at times. He likes doing the laundry(though Ive had several things come out looking like ti-ddye)lal

2:10 am

where you driving to?Somewhere special?

2:10 am

lolol, pugs...do so know what you mean, hun.

2:11 am

pugs, have review appointment with ortho. surgeon. re splint on right knee.

2:11 am

the don't get the difference between things that go with this load and other things separately

2:12 am

at least he hasn't made the mistake I made - as a kid, helping while mom was sick, turned everyone's undies pink

2:13 am

yep mine just puts a load in..no sorting and he is off limits to using the bleach! And you would die seeing his way of hanging them out. But I guess its the thought thats counts

2:13 am

flosey, and they don't understand, don't hang things in a clump...space the wash out so that the air can blow through easier.

2:14 am

70 years ago, men weren't wearing pink undies

2:14 am

lol...i should hope not, flosey

2:15 am

Rose are you going to get to dump the brace since you are doing so good

2:15 am

soon as our backs are turned, you start picking on the guys, lol

2:15 am

we don't very often hang out, usually use dryer

2:15 am

pugs, not until the surgeon says to do so.

2:15 am

hehe--Hello Joso

2:15 am

lol joso, not picking really, just enjoying a chuckle

2:16 am

oy vey....it's a joso....g'day mate

2:16 am

a chuckle, hrumph... at whom's expense may I ask

2:17 am

ah, they can take it as well as hand it out

2:17 am

Rose you still iron?

2:17 am

but now that you are here...and ruru has gone to bed....

2:17 am

and joso, are you always up this late?

2:17 am

good to see you all in any case

2:17 am

You didnt pick on poor Ruru did you Rose? lol

2:18 am

darn a tiny grid. But there are my babble friends :)

2:18 am

a very good morning to you all

2:18 am

good to see you too, joso

2:18 am

hi Sprite

2:18 am

Our Dearest Sprite to complete the gang!

2:18 am

I drift to late nite when not held to a schedual

2:18 am

hi flosey :) How are you today?

2:18 am

pugs, i say, if it's cheap, iron it to look nice, if it's costly, iron it because it desrves to be taken care of...having said that, i don't iron sheets, socks, pj's, and smalls

2:18 am

hiya pug *hug*

2:18 am

{{sprite}} xoxox

2:19 am

hi sprite

2:19 am

great thanks sprite, and you?

2:19 am

I like to iron--we had to iron everything when I was at home

2:19 am

pugs, i did so absolutely pick on the ruru.

2:19 am

hiya rose and joso! *hugs* Iron? Haz does the ironing. I don't iron at all. My family knows it: if you want to wear something that needs ironing, you are on your own. Don't buy that kind of stuff!

2:20 am

pug, on the other hand seems to get up earlier and earlier

2:20 am

I am ok. Feeling more positive today, having faith I can handle the changes.

2:20 am

good for you, Sprite, hang in

2:20 am

what did the ruru do? Did he pun you into a pitiful state?

2:20 am

Iam a 2=3 hour sleeper

2:21 am

am glad you are great, flosey :)

2:22 am

thanks sprite

2:22 am

Looks like Sprite and Rose are getting back upon the horse(so to say)

2:22 am

how do you get along with so little sleep, pugs

2:22 am

too true, pug. Even dreamt of getting on horses!

2:23 am

guess Iam just use to it---If I sleep more I wake with a headache

2:23 am

you must be so chronically tired, pug.

2:24 am

no not at all( or I dont think I am)

2:24 am

yes, changing lifestyle is hard at first sprite, if you can keeep at it the changes just become how you live, the more you practice the easier it gets

2:24 am

did you use to ride Sprite? I miss riding so much

2:25 am

I will hold on to that, joso, thanks :)

2:25 am

I used to as a child and young adult, pug. But I was never any good at it. My daughter rides and she has good lessons and rides pretty well.

2:26 am

you can get bike leasons?

2:27 am

*lesons

2:27 am

Ive rode and shown and worked ground training babies for a stable and even one year my sister and I ran a riding barn at a state park here in our state

2:28 am

*giggles* Yes, in the Netherlands you can. Bike is a pretty basic means of transportation here. Immigrants can learn to ride one if they want.

2:28 am

pug, you are in a whole other class than me... I was the child that sat on the horse while it walked its rounds, lol.

2:29 am

My right knee wont let me make the rotation to ride a bike---I have tried several times

2:29 am

here you get training wheels, which you beg youir parents to take off until they relent

2:30 am

yeah, we have those too. Also the dads who run with you, holding you until you go too fast.

2:30 am

I really miss my horses. I even got into driving too.Went on several cross country drives and rides

2:30 am

that is frustrating, pug. Did you hurt your knee?

2:31 am

just bad knees from long hours on hard floors working and riding most of my life I guess

2:31 am

{{hugs}} pugs, can so empathise with you, hun

2:32 am

a few friends and myself started a saddle club (that is still going) several years ago

2:32 am

what is a saddle club? Do you make saddles? Or put them on horses?

2:33 am

I bought me a bike and every spring I get it out thinking I can do it and the knee just wont do it

2:34 am

what sort of setup do you have now pug, I think you are not in a major city or town, and know you have a crek to walk along. are you on a farm?

2:34 am

*creek

2:34 am

we put on shows and had trail rides for members

2:34 am

perhaps you can train your knee by lying on your back and making bike movements every day?

2:35 am

I live in the country on about a acre and then have 13 acres on the river

2:35 am

or perhaps use a stationary bike. you can adjust the tension, until it is like riding a 'normal' bike.

2:36 am

I got one of those Rose. My knee wont take the whole rotation that is needed to peddle

2:37 am

my stationary bike is set on 25% tension. i will increase the tension until it is equal to a road bike.

2:37 am

pugs, you are female...grit your teeth, sweetie. you can do it.

2:38 am

well, better be careful with the knee then. If it won't do the movement, it won't. Don't force things.

2:38 am

when I do do it Rose the next few days the knee is so swollen that I have to use a cane to walk with

2:38 am

i remember getting on my bike....after my total knee....i just had to grit my teeth, and let it follow thru.

2:39 am

okay...cold/ice pack it post exercise, plus elevation for 15 minutes.

2:40 am

I will just try that Rose

2:40 am

good on you, hun.

2:40 am

swollen and unable to walk does seem like the sort of gentle hint to mind

2:40 am

when I have to get down on knees to clean I pay for that too

2:41 am

lol...i never do that, pugs.

2:41 am

babble dictionary: medlam - utterly chaotic compilation of songs

2:41 am

pugs, do you have some form of arthritis diagnosed?

2:41 am

when gradyn comes I like to get down and play in the dirt with him and his cars-lol

2:42 am

sit on your butt then, pug, and not on your knees. Sitting on knees is extremely taxing.

2:42 am

I recently got knee pads pug, thought they were too wussy for a long time, a godsend

2:42 am

not that I know of but it runs in our family. My dad,grandfather and two sisters has it and gout

2:42 am

sorry I disappeared without a goodnight, but it was time and I got into my jammies, so goodnight/evening/day and hi sprite but ...zzzzzz

2:43 am

ogood for you, joso!

2:43 am

pugs, i use a garden kneeler. it allows me to kneel, with knees over-hanging the 'cushion' and handles to help you to get up.

2:43 am

gnight Jilli

2:43 am

hehehe hi and bye, jilli, sleep well *hug*

2:43 am

g'nite jilly

2:44 am

I have 2 sisters that got gout while in grade school

2:44 am

night jilli and congrats on second place tonight

2:44 am

aahh, pugs. as my endocrinologist said...you have hit the jackpot. how you react to that diagnosis, is totally up to you.

2:44 am

Right Idea gran, I was installing a floor and shingling a roof

2:45 am

so true, rose. same thing I tell myself. Not the illness is central point... I am.

2:45 am

jilli, sweet sleep, hun

2:45 am

well I dont let pain stop me from doing what I want--I just know that I will pay for it for a few days

2:46 am

I can take quite abit of pain

2:47 am

falling asleep, time to get to bed, goodnight all

2:47 am

I think as we age we all deal with some sort of pain in our bodies

2:47 am

be back tomorrow for the 25 remaining

2:47 am

pugs, are you on glucosamine and chondritine ? it has kept my rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis at bay for over 12 years.

2:48 am

g'nite flossy

2:48 am

as Haz once said: Aging is not for the timid.

2:48 am

flosey, sweet dreams, hun. and again, congrats on a wonderful milestone reached.

2:49 am

night flosey, sleep well *hug*

2:49 am

Rose I dont take anything but a daily vitamin(for women 50+) and I have not been to a doctor for years

2:50 am

night Flosey

2:52 am

Iam really pretty healthy besides the hernea and the usual aches and pains that goes with aging

2:52 am

okay, sorry to break the news to you...but you really need to look at your pain-control regime. you need an anti-inflammatory, i.e. ibuprofen, and a general analgesic, like paracetamol.

2:52 am

glucosamine/chondritine is a food supplement that really makes a difference, pug. I'd give it a try if I were you. It is not expensive.

2:53 am

are these things found in the vitamin isle?

2:54 am

and pug... one of my therapists told me that it was my ability to handle really bad pain that make me go on while I needed to rest... it can work against us, alas. Also, pain steals your energy. If you can bring down the pain, you will have more energy.

2:54 am

yes pug. Or order it online.

2:55 am

Rose when my knee swells I do take over the counter pain aids

2:55 am

I expect my magnesium malate to arrive today, rose :D

2:55 am

my dad swore by glucosamine, for joint pain

2:55 am

your dad was wise, joso!

2:56 am

I have that for my dog can I take hers? LOL

2:56 am

he was, was also fun to vacation with

2:56 am

that is smart, pug. And remember to use cooling pads. My husband swears by cooling everything that swells and is hot (no puns allowed here) and he is so right, it really helps.

2:56 am

lol pug, yes probably. Though you will need a higher dose than a kitteh.

2:57 am

if the weather permits I do go to the river to soak(since I dont have a tub) and that helps a bunch

2:58 am

oh yes, that sounds awesome. Cooling in natural water :)

2:58 am

side no4: when I have me5 I want to have le5 too... and today we can't, darn it.

2:59 am

at 90 degrees I think I would get a straw and live in the river

3:00 am

I just about do that Joso--me and the dogs

3:00 am

god yes. Me too.

3:00 am

pugs, as sprite suggests. ice packs in the freezer are an absolute must.

3:01 am

ice packs and elevation..

3:01 am

I never bothered with them until I met my husband, rose. But he has convinced me.

3:01 am

I will have to buy me a couple to keep on hand. I just dont baby myself that much and I guess I should

3:02 am

yes you should, lolll. It is not babying, hun. It is taking good care of yourself. It will improve the quality of your life and help you to enjoy more the things you do.

3:03 am

I'm kind of like that too pug, but at some point you just have to buy the kneepads

3:03 am

hope i don't bore you, but please google 'pain away' cream...it contains arnica plus lots of other goodies. it , along with paracetamol osteo, was the only thing which kept me mobile until my total knee replacement.

3:03 am

Iam more on taking care of the others---as I think you guys are too

3:04 am

okay Rose

3:04 am

pugs, if it is too far out of your reach, please email me your postal addy. i will send you some.

3:04 am

Joso I got enough fat on my knees I dont need pads--lol

3:05 am

I will rose if you let me pay you for your trouble

3:05 am

*giggle* pugs...

3:06 am

pugs, we'll sort that out when and if it is necessary, hun.

3:07 am

and now i am using 'pain away' on my ankle and knee.

3:07 am

everyday I glance in the mirror and see a new wrinkle I swear--lol

3:08 am

pugs, look past the wrinkle, dear. and see the beautiful person underneath.

3:08 am

ah pug, ya know what i mean, I don't have much patience when someone winges at every little thing, If you don't work through things you never toughen up, but chronic pain when their is an answer, just silly

3:08 am

I have always since childhood have had bad ankles and feet. Iam completely flat-footed

3:08 am

when io look in the mirror, all i see is another hair which needs to be plucked out..lol

3:09 am

giggle Rose

3:10 am

I know Joso, you are right. Ive had to work all my like with foot pain and I have gotten so use to it I dont pay it no mind

3:10 am

speaking for myself I look pretty fine ;-)

3:10 am

hi friends how many today pls\

3:10 am

well...it's not a pretty sight...sitting there enjoying a capuccino...with frothy milk caught in your moustache..

3:10 am

lifenot like

3:10 am

hi pink, only 82

3:11 am

Hi Ya Pink

3:11 am

greetings pug and all

3:11 am

{{sprite}} you still here? xoxox

3:12 am

geez thought I was doing good at 48 just do not see them tonite

3:12 am

gotta refresh my cup brb

3:12 am

ok, climbing on the crate: there is a difference between pampering yourself and taking care of yourself. Of course we need to be able to do stuff in spite of pain. But we also need to research the ways in which we can help ourselves function better and easier. Ok, stepping down, you may carry on.

3:12 am

hi pink, yvw

3:13 am

it is a tricky one today, pink. The smaller ones often are.

3:13 am

I see this

3:14 am

lolol...sprite. * gives sprite a helping hand down*

3:14 am

3:14 am

3:14 am

nope, not a word, pink

3:14 am

rose, I also bought some seeds and stuff that I need to make a healthy bread. Am gonna try that and see if I eat a slice each morning. Or lunch.

3:25 am

back and ready to carry on

3:25 am

yayyy wb pug :)

3:25 am

is it a wheat bread Sprite

3:26 am

no, it doesn't use any kind of grain. It is a bread that has only good stuff in it. It is from the Gabriel Method.

3:27 am

did they give you a list of foods for you Sprite

3:28 am

yes they did, pug, but they also told me that nowadays the idea is to eat as healthy as possible. Not like in the old days when you were prohibited to eat ugh kinds of food.

3:28 am

I have a handy list... it has for each food group a green list (food you can eat every day), a yellow list (stuff you can eat as a compromis) and a red list (things to eat never or very rarely).

3:29 am

Just changing to a healthier diet will do wonders

3:29 am

exactly, that is what they say here as well. Regular eating, healthy food, lots of exercise.

3:30 am

we are from an era where food was given as award for this and that

3:31 am

for now I wouldnt even worry about losing wieght cause that will come as you change your diet

3:31 am

and for me fried foods were a common intake at home

3:32 am

I have a serious eating disorder, pug. My father used to beat the food into me. I wasn't allowed sweets. My whole experience with food was a mess when I left home at 16 and I never got it right. Having my family and Rob who cooks dinner has saved my life, I think.

3:33 am

ahh Sprite hugs--how awful--what was his purpose on doing that

3:34 am

who knows, sigh. Speeding things up, having control... he has narcissistic personality disorder.

3:35 am

different value of food after living in nazi occupied lands?

3:35 am

anyway, not to complain, just wanted to share... I have a lot to learn and unlearn when it comes to food. That clinic is gonna have its work cut out for us, lol.

3:36 am

joso: yeah that is probably part of it as well.

3:39 am

for the most part it's pretty simple, lots of veg, some lean meat or fish, some fruit, a little bread or rice, avoid fat, oil, sugar

3:39 am

if you guys want the recipe of the health bread, let me know and I will translate it.

3:40 am

thanks joso :) Yeah I know it is kind of simple. But not with an eating disorder. Will get there, though. In a year time, things will have improved a lot.

3:41 am

I understand, the eating disorder will affect things in ways I don't understand

3:42 am

yeah it complicates things. But in the end I still will have to make the adjustments. And I have enlisted help to get there.

3:43 am

more power to you sprite

3:43 am

thank you :) I can't fail with so much support from my babble friends.

3:48 am

sorry dearest friends. phone call from himself's bestest buddy, inviting him on a motor-cycle ride next weekend. such a giggle. i am so happy to let him go.

3:49 am

how lovely, rose. So nice for him. Can you manage with yourself and mother mac without him?

3:49 am

and sprite?? you have my undivided support. and he doesn't leave until 9:15am.

3:52 am

am lucky to have you and pug and joso! Ah good, so he can help before he leaves. Will do him good to be away for a weekend.

3:53 am

sorry guys the computer is being a brat

3:54 am

how so pug?

3:55 am

*throws a stern look towards pug's pc*

3:56 am

well I downloaded that site you told me and it knocked me off of here and I had to restart

3:57 am

it wont let me remove it either

3:58 am

then my anti viris came up saying it wasent working

3:58 am

which site is that?

3:58 am

which site is that? Flickr?

3:58 am

no the babble pro

3:59 am

ah, babble expert, ok hold on

3:59 am

or what ever the link was on your profile Joso

3:59 am

yes

3:59 am

ah ok

4:00 am

I loaded it but dont know how to use it

4:00 am

are you running windows pug?

4:00 am

Iam going to work on the picture thing today Sprite

4:00 am

yes Joso I got windows 98-2000 xp

4:01 am

great, pug :) Let me know if you need help.

4:01 am

my computer is old

4:01 am

okay Sprite I will--thanks

4:04 am

I was having trouble with this thing shutting down(the tower only) took it to the shop 4 times--changed all the cords and it still done it.Then a friend came and took it out and blowed it all out and it worked fine for several months and so when ever it shuts down thats what I do and it works fine for awhile

4:04 am

ok, this is a bit complicated because your puter is older, thank god we don't age as fast as computers

4:04 am

that means it shuts down because it gets too hot, pug. As long as you keep all ventilators clean, it will cool the puter and all is fine.

4:06 am

I have fans blowing in here but as hot as it is I can see that. But the shop charged me everytime and did nothing

4:06 am

the file you downloaded is zipped, zipped means condensed to make downloading shorter. newer windows can unzip files but older windows require a seperate zip/unzip program

4:07 am

yeah. Google for 7zip. Freeware and it unpacks everything.

4:08 am

maybe you can help me on this--I have a anti-viris that the shop put on my computer--when I went off the land line they said I have a anti viris that comes with the high speed--should I take the old one off

4:08 am

at http://www.7-zip.org/ you can get a good one, the very first download is the one you want.

4:08 am

hehehe, joso and I agree on the unzip program 100%.

4:08 am

okay joso

4:09 am

not sure, pug. What are you using for antivirus?

4:10 am

tell me when you have downloaded it pug

4:10 am

I have tried getting google chrome but I cant on this computer and when I go to facebook sometimes not always it comes up I have low visial memories--what is that

4:11 am

fireflies... and real life calls me to duty, alas. *hugs* to you all, my friends. Thanks for being there. Whenever I count my blessings, you are among them.

4:11 am

the zip program will work, very simple and low graphics need

4:11 am

right now I got something the shop put in from windows(they had another but it shut my computer down and they had to replace it with this one)

4:12 am

I think its windows security

4:12 am

ok Joso I will--

4:12 am

ah, you should get another, let me look arround brb

4:13 am

WTG, SPRITE!!!

4:14 am

Bye Sprite--w2g though I hate to see you go--have a good day

4:15 am

XOXOX, sprite....

4:15 am

g'nite sprite

4:15 am

And you too Rose--I know you got fireworks 10 secs. after you started --hugs to both of you

4:16 am

sorry pug, having trouble finding an antivirus for a 98 machine

4:17 am

I guess I need to look for a newer model--dont I

4:17 am

not if your machine does what you want it to do

4:18 am

these computers (like you say age fast) I dont know what to go looking for

4:18 am

this and facebook is about all I do and now and then look up imfo

4:19 am

I do know I like the xp but I read that they are going to do away with it--is this true

4:19 am

the cheapest on sale computer will be much better than what you have, I'd just pay attention to screen size if i where you

4:21 am

98, to xp, to vista, to windows 8, to windows 9, is where they are now pug

4:21 am

do you know how these all built in the monitors are

4:21 am

sure, they are fine

4:22 am

this is the only computer Ive had and it was given to me

4:23 am

so, I,ve never had a horse, we all have our strenghts

4:23 am

I probally could have boughten a new on for the times this has been in the shop-lol

4:23 am

now you can get a comp for 200$

4:24 am

the tower is all I really need isnt it

4:25 am

Get a laptop or notebook Puglet you won't know yourself

4:25 am

Hi Joso and Puglet

4:25 am

If you keep running into things you can't do because of your machine them maybe it is time to get a new one.

4:25 am

I bought my screen off the computer(it was a refer.)

4:25 am

Hi Lyn

4:26 am

are the ones Walmart sale good

4:26 am

if you are happy with your screen the yes, tower is all you need, make sure new tower can plug into old screen

4:27 am

Just ensure they have a decent warranty Puglet

4:28 am

yes pug, any computer will be head and shoulders above what you have

4:28 am

I know from friends that some dont have enough memories or whatever when you buy from stores like that

4:29 am

lol Joso--are you saying Iam in the stoneage here

4:29 am

Won't be an issue with the new models Puglet

4:29 am

thanks Lyn and Joso--I will put that on my x-mas list

4:30 am

depends what you want to do, are you going to run action computer games, edit movies?

4:30 am

Puglet - can I suggest you find a person in their 20s who is into computers and ask that they help you pick out the best one for you

4:31 am

That's what I did when I bought my latest laptop this year

4:32 am

Joso what action games are you replying to--you know Iam limited here

4:32 am

I will take that advice Lyn--ty

4:33 am

the fast kill a bunch of zombies type of thing

4:33 am

I play some bubble games on facebook--is that action?

4:33 am

well heck no--I dont even like zoombie movies

4:33 am

race car driving, combat pilot

4:33 am

The games my kids play! they wouldn't touch Babble

4:35 am

no-no and no Joso--word games and bubble games(some games my computer wont let me play)

4:35 am

my kids - and Joso apparently

4:35 am

I didn't think so, I think your needs are fairly simple, so the cheapest new box you can find

4:36 am

I still have gameboy and ps1 and Iam not good on either of them-lol

4:36 am

no, never got into the twitch games

4:36 am

I use to be good with pac-man on atri--I think thats out of date now a days

4:37 am

though i do like a good strategy game

4:38 am

morning all, another sunny day :)

4:38 am

twitch games, games where you need the reaction time of a coked up teen

4:38 am

I see these sims games and I would like to do them but dont know how

4:38 am

Hi anita

4:38 am

hi Anita

4:38 am

sims?

4:39 am

malade

4:39 am

like sims, simcity, etc

4:39 am

Joso Ive been meaning to ask you what this game is as on your Icon

4:40 am

friends want me to play this farmville on facebook but I cant due to my computer

4:41 am

its a computer game that would run well on your machine, nurse a civilization through the ages from basic village to world dominating power

4:41 am

is it like a building game as these sims?

4:42 am

all the facebook games will run on any new box pug

4:42 am

but just mine-right?

4:42 am

sounds like a time sucking game

4:43 am

a bit like sim city, but handling many cities

4:43 am

it is a big time suck

4:44 am

my sister bought me a farm game but it drags so much I just put it away until I get a better computer

4:45 am

it says it will work in mine and it does to some degree

4:46 am

I did belong to pogo but it got so they wanted you to pay a seperate fee for the better games which I think unfair when you pay 50 a year

4:49 am

computer processing power and memory get twice as fast and big for the same price every 18 months. you are running a 98 box, if you buy last years comp on sale it should have a processor 1000 times faster and 1000 times as much memory.

4:51 am

I most certainly will be shopping around for something newer

4:52 am

I do now think alot of the trouble Iam having is due to the age of this one

4:52 am

if you get the stats on something that looks good I will be happy to tell you what it means

4:53 am

okay Joso and thank you

4:53 am

I only got 18 words cause Ive been talking so much-lol

4:54 am

lol

4:54 am

You should wait for sale time too Puglet - you would probably save lots of $$s. You have Black Friday in the States don't you?

4:55 am

yes and after x-mas there are many big sales

4:55 am

thats a great Ideal Lyn--tyvm

4:56 am

good morning (almot afternoon)

4:56 am

crossy is also a good source, more up to date than I, but at this stage i don't think you need anything special, anything more current will do well for you

4:56 am

Hi Mrs Rubyfoo

4:56 am

I saved $200 on a $700 package here by doing it during the sales here. For software and laptop.

4:56 am

Hi Ruby

4:57 am

its 6am here

4:57 am

hi ruby

4:57 am

hello, just looked over the chog and I used to love the first simcity but don't like the later ones, too complicated for me

4:57 am

Is there any way of finding an old one?

4:58 am

oh that was a great deal of saving Lyn

4:58 am

tiny grid :(

4:58 am

I would like to try one whenever I get a computer that will let me play one

4:58 am

too old and it will not run on a new machine

5:02 am

I dont even buy games any more due to the fact when I do they just run so slow and choppy I dont bother

5:02 am

have red boxes of doom

5:03 am

aaah, gone

5:04 am

anyway my carriage is threatening to become pumpkin, time for bed

5:04 am

h and bye joso

5:04 am

bye Joso, don't forget your glass slippers

5:05 am

night Joso

5:05 am

had red boxes

5:06 am

Isn't this just the new hiccup time?

5:06 am

I dont know I had red boxes earlier too

5:07 am

Lyn do you live near Rose

5:07 am

is the game on Chicago time? so 7 hours earlier than I

5:08 am

Yes - probably about 20-30 miles away

5:08 am

Have you two met

5:08 am

what game Ruby

5:08 am

No, not yet

5:09 am

oh boy, that is nice for you. Australia is so big

5:09 am

simcity, the first one

5:09 am

no,no, I meant is babbler on Chicago time?

5:09 am

I dont know Ruby

5:09 am

and I can't remember Ruby

5:10 am

I got 6:09 my time and babble has 5:09

5:10 am

so that's it, pugs

5:10 am

Have you been to Australia Ruby

5:11 am

where does babble come from? do you know?

5:11 am

no, and it's surely too late for me....

5:12 am

Babble - owned by DrGod - is American

5:13 am

at the bottom I have a list of sites are these all to do with babble

5:14 am

Not officially - usually just other Babble players who have written programs or something to do with Babble

5:14 am

like angelsongs babble and babble anony

5:15 am

Angelsong / Montreal / Lickety - are all other players.

5:15 am

I've never seen montreal

5:15 am

ahh thanks Lyn

5:16 am

Babble Anon is another chat site where some people write things (predated Facebook as I remember)

5:16 am

are they help sites like Lickety's

5:16 am

Montreal is another gorgeous Canadian guy - plays every day but doesn't chat much anymore

5:16 am

I just picked an enormous bouquet of goldenrod

5:17 am

for the living room

5:17 am

Nothing is like Lickety! PS Lickety is a gorgeous Australian guy

5:17 am

do they grow wild there Ruby

5:17 am

the flowers aren't impressive, but the scale of the arrangement works in the room

5:17 am

nothing like fresh flowers in the house

5:17 am

how lovely Ruby

5:17 am

they grow in a damp, hidden corner of the bottom garden

5:18 am

husband always buys roses at the market on Wednesdays, but these are nice because they're so tall

5:18 am

I love the spring when my lilacs are out-they smell so good

5:19 am

I guess they're weeds, but so what

5:19 am

sometimes the humblest shrubs/branches and even weeds make the best arrangements

5:19 am

alot of weeds has pretty flowers Ruby

5:19 am

I have one small lilac, but it has only flowered for 2 years and you can't see it from the house

5:20 am

when he buys roses, I always cut branches of "whatever" to make the bouquet prettier

5:20 am

even my herbs have flowers that I plant just for that

5:20 am

that's a good idea, pug

5:21 am

I got 6 lilac trees cause I love them so-lol

5:21 am

I quite often cut a bunch of mixed herbs for an arrangement - looks good and smells great

5:21 am

wow! Are they different colors, pug?

5:22 am

five of the trees are close enough I get the odor through out the house with the right breeze

5:22 am

no all purple Ruby

5:22 am

for cutting, I have hydrangeas on the sifde of the house, so for about a month I have enough hydrangeas for me and for my friends. Otherwise, I don't cut roses or peones for the house

5:23 am

It must smell heavenly, pugs!

5:23 am

I even like chives as a fill in--and my bee balms has the prettiest flowers that draw hummingbirds and butterflies

5:23 am

it surely does Ruby

5:24 am

I have chives on the deck and they're very pretty when they flower, like the alliums

5:25 am

I have 2 butterfly bushes that has a simular smell as the lilacs

5:26 am

there was one butterfly bush here when we bought the house but my husband set it on fire (by accident, of course) and it had babnies alll over the garden

5:26 am

Ive never tried alliums Ruby--but I like onions too--they have a nice flower

5:26 am

Do you get big butterflies, pug? I only get small white ones and frittilaries (sp?)

5:26 am

I bet thats pretty with them all over

5:27 am

I started with 5 allium and now have about 30

5:27 am

once in a while but mostly small ones too Ruby

5:27 am

and have had 2 hawk moths

5:27 am

I will have to try some

5:28 am

do you have to plant the allium every year Ruby

5:28 am

They're almost as big as hummingbirds and feed in the daytime so they're easy to identify. The little ones are impossible

5:28 am

no, just once, and it spread by itself if it's happy

5:28 am

do you have the ruby-throated hummingbird like me,Ruby?

5:29 am

do you buy the seeds or bulbs

5:29 am

supposedly there arehummingbirds here,but I've never seen one in 15 years

5:30 am

I think the allium were little bulbs like tiny onions

5:30 am

we have several here during the summer months

5:30 am

okay I will look for them

5:31 am

we got a pair of beautiful bluebirds that started nesting here 2 years ago.They raise 2 litters each year.

5:33 am

It's been interesting Learning the French birds. I keep a guide by the window near the feeder and have identified about 20, all different but similar to the American ones, for example, green finches

5:33 am

I've nly seen bluebirds when I lived in NY state.

5:34 am

That is lovely, that you get to see the babies every year

5:34 am

Ive never seen green finches--bet they are pretty

5:35 am

I use to feed the yellow ones here but the seeds for them are so high for just a small bag

5:35 am

they have mauve beaks which I know because I frequently find dead ones

5:35 am

my husband buys about 12 lns of sunflower seeds a week, ut if it keeps him happy, it's Worth it

5:35 am

we got about 20 bird boxes up and they just came and took up in one and every year they come bck

5:36 am

lbs*

5:36 am

How big is your property, pug?

5:36 am

It must be big to have so many lilacs and so many bird boxes

5:36 am

I live on a acre and then have 12 acres on the river

5:37 am

it must be beautiful! Is it hilly?

5:37 am

the river is in walking distance

5:38 am

little hills nothing real big

5:38 am

what river is it, maybe I can find it in GoogleEarth

5:38 am

little flat rock

5:39 am

I'll look for it later

5:39 am

my dogs all love the river and love to swim and try to fish

5:40 am

chows don't swim :( and Max (the black one) drowned in our fishpond

5:40 am

they see the fish and crawfish and pounces trying to catch them(so far no one has)lol

5:40 am

I never told husband as the goldfish are another of his hobbies and he would have felt terrible

5:41 am

oh how awful Ruby

5:41 am

is it due to their thick fur? Ruby

5:41 am

he was autistic (not husband) and we thought he had found a hole in the fence but two weeks later the handyman found him in the pond nd we quietly buried him

5:42 am

do you live out in the couontry too

5:43 am

country--sorry

5:43 am

I don't know but Max used to drink from the pond every night so maybe he ha a seizure or heart attack and fell in like that

5:43 am

well he could had

5:43 am

yes, the village has about 12,000 people but we live outsifde the village and there's a big open space above our house whick leads to the cliffs

5:44 am

do you have GoogleEarth? If yes, look up Veyrier du Lac

5:44 am

I bet its just beautiful

5:44 am

I dont but I will try to get it

5:44 am

it is and the lake is below us

5:45 am

it's free and easy to use, but my son installed it for me, so I don't know how he did it

5:45 am

half and it's time to lie down

5:46 am

how much land do you have

5:46 am

Lovely to "talk" with you, little pug. Give Beulah a hug for me!

5:46 am

okay Ruby have enjoyed your company as always--good night

5:46 am

I will

5:47 am

I'm not sure but I think it'sa little less than an acre. We're on a hillside, sos the garden is on several levels as is the house

Hi folksie, back after a week of grand kids visiting. I need the solace of Babble. am worn out

7:12 am

welcome back ((bichon))

7:13 am

ty annie

7:14 am

Im sure the pooches were glad to see you

7:15 am

They were home with us. Grands came here from CA. But the fluffs were so stressed by the little ones I had to send them to my daughter's house

7:16 am

I thought you went to CA. Poor pooches. Now you have the house to yourself and you can recover.

7:16 am

Last night we both agreed that it was so nice with just the two of us and the little laddies

7:18 am

I am always happy to get home even though I love my daughter and grands very much. At my age, I like my comfort.

7:18 am

Amen Annie.

7:19 am

We are going up to CT this weekend.

7:20 am

It's nice and green. We went camping in Watertown Sat. night and it was in the low 50's when we woke up

7:20 am

brrrr

7:21 am

I think we all enjoy the comfort of home, no matter how old we are. : )

7:21 am

The CA folks were in shock. They didn't bring a sweatshirt.

7:21 am

Hi Molly.

7:22 am

My d.i.l. said they flew home to SF over Yosemite and they could see the huge fire

7:22 am

hello Molly

7:23 am

7:53 am

hey annie :-)

giving me heartburn

7:55 am

Une, A dog fighting ring was broken up. I couldn;t look at the TV or listen. I was so upset I turned it off. Did you hear about it?

7:55 am

what is giving you heartburn, steve?

Maalox

its in the grid

7:56 am

saw it for 2 seconds as i was channel surfing -- did NOT watch . . . I try not to think about how common this is in the south :-(

7:56 am

LOL, I thought it was me with the proper nouns. Maalox is a terrific find.

7:57 am

indeed -- kudos, steve LOL

7:57 am

7:57 am

Une, I cannot understand how you can abuse an animal. I hope they all get shot with their own guns.

I think it says something but I dont know what when its easier to find proper nouns than actual words

7:57 am

bye Une, dear heart

8:00 am

(when i asked a longtime rescuer in Lewisburg TN about it, in answer to my question re what's the appeal in dogfighting, she said BIG MONEY

8:00 am

ok, now I'm poofing :-)

8:00 am

It usually is money, no matter what..bye Une

8:00 am

I think it takes a very heartless person to get into something like that to make money.

8:01 am

8:54 am

not an every day word, flos

8:54 am

ox7/56 - chemical

8:54 am

no... not a chemical, though sounds like one

8:54 am

Good day to all. Hey, kje, seeing lots of smoke from the fires?

8:54 am

apparently it means a word with the stress on the last syllable

8:55 am

thanks kj, working on it

8:55 am

no, haven't seen smoke

8:55 am

News has mentioned a threat to your drinking water supply.

9:00 am

9:00 am

Hi crossy.

9:00 am

howdy,scwabby

9:00 am

Funny cartoon! Ken theVoting Dingo

9:01 am

and dennis the election koala

9:01 am

Very creative and satirical info-cartoon

9:04 am

i believe they have mandatory voting.something we should all consider,because if you truly wish not to vote,you can just spoil your ballot.many do not realize the power of their vote

9:05 am

Voting is a right and a privilege that should not be squandered.

9:05 am

But there are SO many "low-information" folks in the world.

9:05 am

yes.here we average around 60% turnout and that is sad

9:07 am

anyways.how is the grid today?

9:12 am

I am stuck after finding 34.

9:17 am

scrabs, do bunnies like hostas??

9:18 am

mine seem to have graduated from dandelions to hostas :-(

9:21 am

I don't have wild bunnies here--too many predators. The deer mow down my hostas.

9:21 am

when we lived further north we had to plant a deer garden and fence off our own

9:22 am

don't have deer -- lots in the area but not in my neighborhood . . . hmmm

9:22 am

same on blue mountain

9:24 am

We have lots of deer and they are not very afraid of us.

9:25 am

we used to give them a full plot of nice leafy romaine lettuce with a salt lick or 2

9:25 am

and our own garden would look like alcatraz

9:28 am

so much construction -- fewer wild animals -- but in wooded areas still remaining, they're around -- and all along the interstate . .

the deer eat the see out of my bird feeders

9:29 am

we invade nature,mow it down,they when the animals have no place left to go,we complain..us humans are a sad lot

9:29 am

Yes, our deer eat seeds under feeders and stand to eat from feeders

9:29 am

Humans are selfish

9:30 am

OMG one morning one of my mom's caregivers saw a big buck munching on seedand suet on the patio --maybe 5 ft from the door! :-)

Have bear on my back deck yesterday in Georgia

had bear

9:31 am

wow, steve!

eating the bird feeders!

9:31 am

Wow!

9:32 am

10:54 am

11:13 am

ah...our last few weeks have been gorgeous here....very nice today, too

11:13 am

it was perfect here and then we had much-needed rain but then, whoosh and it's chilly

11:13 am

11:14 am

hello ruby - around here they use the green tomatoes for fried green tomatoes or green tomato pickles

11:14 am

11:14 am

11:14 am

11:14 am

11:17 am

hello bichon

11:18 am

Had to send M&P to my daughter's house when the grand kids from CA visited. They were so stressed out

11:18 am

i will probably be abl to make some green tomato relish this year... walter 11 has a bumper crop pf tomatoes and cukes this year.. also peppers and squash and he is even growing piotatoes.. i have my lettuce and herbs and we are being blessed with a wonderful crop this year

11:19 am

that's funny bichon, our chows aren't crazy about kids either

11:19 am

Hi sammy. something has been eating my tomato stalks

11:19 am

slugs?

11:19 am

It wasn't that the kids were bad to them. They just kept trying to walk them by tugging on their leashes

11:20 am

No, too thick for slugs

11:20 am

is it deer bichon? we have them but i strung up some shiny floaty things on string and that sems to distract them

11:20 am

phantom ukelele

11:20 am

old cd's work for that, too

11:20 am

helps when puppies grow up in the house with the kids - grands have a dog and my boys grew up with the dog -

11:21 am

I think it may be deer. We have lots of them around. Haven't seen any woodchucks

11:21 am

My dogs are neurotic. They were strays and I don't know anything about the first year of their lives

11:21 am

deer like hostas -- a lot.

11:21 am

baby girl was spayed and the vet expected me to take the stitches out. NOT. She came and did it yesterday and it took both of us to hold onto this very strong pup

11:22 am

hello seain

years ago we had tomatoe worms....... giant light green caterpillars that ate our tomatoes

11:22 am

hi, bichon.

11:22 am

happily, she comes to the house

11:23 am

Yes, I had them. These tomato plants are volunteers growing out of my compost

11:23 am

That must be a French thing ruby. Certainly not here

11:24 am

we are Lucky and the day of the surgery, she picked Raffie up on her way to the clinic and brought her home. We are halfway between the clinique and her house

11:24 am

"volunteers" is a great word for that. We have loosestrife "volunteers" growing in the fishpond

11:25 am

I love how Ruby wanders from English to French...clinic...clinique...: D

11:25 am

Loosestrife is bad news. It clogs ponds around here

8:04 pm

Hello Neil! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid.

8:04 pm

thnx Min, that must be the only combination I didn't try.

Hi Min. I'm well thanks... and you?

8:05 pm

Neil, did you ever play letterblox game?It will no longer be available after Sept 30th.I am so disappointed! about that!

Not anymore Min, because it hasn't worked for some time and OMGPOP is closing at the end of next month. But I play other online boggle games.

8:05 pm

heen

Mostly on WordTwist and Weboggle.

Oh and sometimes Yahoo too.

8:06 pm

I am well,besides the fact that I'll no longer be able to play Letterblox.It's not as bad as Babble becoming unavailable.

Well Letterblox isn't available now... and hasn't been for oh, at least a few months anyway. Not working.

Oh it's worse for me, because I played a lot of the games on that site.

But I game on Steam Community and other sites too.

8:07 pm

Actually,Letterblox works again. I have been playing again

Oh wow, so it does! And I was on there earlier and just assumed it wouldn't because no one's been fixing anything on that site in a long time! Thanks for telling me. :)

8:09 pm

I would make an attempt every single day and then VOILA! It worked one day!

Wow. I gave up even checking it, because I'm friends with the former crew and was told Zynga didn't even know how to fix anything on that site. No idea if one of the crew actually did it or not... gotta ask now! Interesting.

8:47 pm

Min!!!!! I got the job!!!!!! :-D

8:47 pm

hey all

8:49 pm

Hello stidmama! CONGRATULATIONS! Good for you! I wish I could do carleekats cartwheels! I am soooo happy for you!

10:05 pm

I have a serious staffing problem. Who here needs a job and wants to move to the middle of nowhere?

10:08 pm

hey jes! :-)

10:09 pm

But for the middle of nowhere, it's a lovely place... if you like endless fields of grasses and rocks!

10:10 pm

NO! we have trees and mountains and rivers and weather

10:10 pm

we are not the palouse....

10:10 pm

hold on a second...

10:11 pm

east of Wenatchee and North of Kennewick is about as close to desert as I will EVER drive through...

10:12 pm

you must keep going north until you hit trees!

10:12 pm

but at least it's not Cheney...

10:13 pm

heheh. indeed. i did my time south of here, and much prefer the trees

10:14 pm

well, okay, you have a few shrubs (from a person who lives where the average tree is almost 200 ft tall)

10:15 pm

What?! shrubs? *indignant sputter*

10:15 pm

*wicked mama grin*

10:15 pm

I owe you choclit chip cookies now...

10:16 pm

AND... one of the things I lost in the fire was that lovely scarf you made. Are you still marketing those?

10:17 pm

wow! how did that happen? past halfway and down to 38 already!

10:18 pm

I will send you pictures of our trees, you doubtful thing you.

10:19 pm

I haven't been doing any crocheting lately, but I could whip you up another... what colors/type of yarn/width and length do you want? fringe or no fringe?

10:19 pm

Love pics of trees.

10:19 pm

Also pics of flowers...

10:19 pm

Does piggy like her new home?

10:20 pm

As far as I know; I haven't actually heard back from them

10:22 pm

did email work?

10:26 pm

hold on, I will check.

10:26 pm

YES!! I see green things! :-D

10:26 pm

many trees, no wheat fields

10:27 pm

And you really have to come visit me next summer... by then I will have some actual pretty things in my garden again. And we can take the canoe out on the water and look at the view there...

10:27 pm

So, here's the difficulty. I can COUNT the trees in your pictures... *grin*

10:28 pm

you need to send me a new doctor so I have time to travel :P

10:28 pm

roflmao on our side it's hopeless to tally trees

10:28 pm

well, I wished myself a job, maybe I can wish you an employee?

10:29 pm

You can only count the trees in the clearing where I was standing, brat. Look at the hill and count THOSE trees.

10:30 pm

who are you calling a brat? MOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

10:30 pm

And yes, I see entire green hills. You are farther north than I realized!

10:30 pm

It's raining here.... (again)

10:31 pm

oh, c'mon, you gotta be able to handle a little 'brat' level language if you're teaching remedial reading :D

10:32 pm

do you have lodgepole and ponderosa pine? Or are those farther to the east? I love pines, and they don't do so well over here.

10:32 pm

I can handle a lot worse than "brat" to be honest... and when not in school dish it out, too! LOL but not in my classroom *stern teacher look* we will be polite and appropriate!

10:32 pm

feels nice to say "my classroom" and mean it...

10:34 pm

I used to be able to say that, but with my new placement, I lost my classroom. Now I have to share a room with others.

10:34 pm

we have both, and fir, and tamarack

10:34 pm

cedar too, and sporadic deciduous stands (aspen, birch)

10:35 pm

Tamarack won't grow here at all, too wet. Aspen are rare in the lowlands at least.

10:35 pm

Actually, I might be sharing a room, since I am part-time.

10:35 pm

But when I am in the room, it WILL be mine! :-D

10:36 pm

well then, ms. language arts teacher, you should know that 'brat' is russian for brother. :D

10:36 pm

really? didn't know that!

10:37 pm

hm. I will have to try that out on my friend from Russia...

10:37 pm

it's pronounced a bit different, more like bratwurst, but spelled the same

10:37 pm

He's pretty close to "brat" status anyway. *wicked friend grin*

10:38 pm

What do you teach in language arts, anyway?

10:39 pm

English, jes -- reading, writing, communications (spoken word). Literature. Poetry.

10:40 pm

I also fit in a little bit about visual arts as well -- anything that communicates emotion or meaning is fair game as far as I am concerned!

10:41 pm

Were U looking for something part-time?Or are you hoping that this turns into full-time maybe next year stidmama?

10:42 pm

I actually wanted part-time work this year, because of the house construction and it being Grant's last year in high school. So I was not actively applying to jobs that were full-time since the end of June. I would have been content to substitute until the house was done and then seek replacement full-time status until the end of the year. NEXT year I hope to get a full-time, continuing position.

10:43 pm

This position is only for this year, but I think if I do well I will put me where I can get a permanent full-time slot.

10:45 pm

Glad you got what U wanted. This is definitely a good start

10:46 pm

I hope so, Min -- I wish things were more settled for you, though!

10:46 pm

you're never gonna come be my receptionist... :D

10:47 pm

probably not, jes... unless I don't get a position for the following year, in which case I shall muck out kennels to pay for room and board.

10:48 pm

although, I would love to see your area of the state. Truthfully I haven't been over there in about 30 years.

10:48 pm

Thank you! It will definitely be an adjustment for me, but I will adjust.This is the third time where I have had to adjust to a new school, so I can do it again.

10:49 pm

you're welcome to come visit any time. You can compare the foundation of our house to yours :)

10:49 pm

though we got told today no construction lo4 :(

10:50 pm

that stinks!!!! *indignant mama look*

10:51 pm

I guess practice makes perfect, Min? At least you get to sample a lot of different schools, so you are learning how to get along with a wide variety of people and conditions.

10:52 pm

Grant just called for a ride home from band practice. Back soon. *poof*

10:52 pm

too much land, apparently. So Bruce will call planning dept tomorrow to see if we can do some paperwork magic to make the bank think we only have 20 acres instead of 30.

10:52 pm

bye, stid, have fun :)

10:56 pm

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

10:59 pm

I am going to following stidmama out the door.Goodnight!

*sits back and watches pretty firewords*

11:53 pm

yay stid!

11:56 pm

okay, time to go try to calm down enough to sleep. Do I wear jeans tomorrow for the training, or a skirt? All my "teaching pants" are in the storage locker -- was going to pull them out this coming weekend! LOL

11:57 pm

how formal is the training?

11:57 pm

and how hot is it over there? I'd go skirt here, because I don't like heat strokes

11:58 pm

and shorts would probably be inappropriate even for a fairly casual training.

11:59 pm

I don't own shorts, fortunately! I think I will wear a skirt tomorrow, and judge what the other teachers are wearing, just in case. I suspect jeans would be fine for Thursday.

11:59 pm

hi stid, you can't go wrong with a skirt - jeans might be questionable
