1:30 am

I have to be off in 5 minutes, pedicure appt.

Yay! So hopefully it's getting a bit warmer.

1:44 am

good news! Rose

1:45 am

So glad to read that Rose. Good news, definitely.

1:46 am

i think the enforced rest this last week has helped. i feel good about everything. and don seems to be coming out of whatever it was too.

1:47 am

Really REALLY happy about that.

1:47 am

it all goes hand in hand--like a pebble thrown in pool

1:47 am

btw, the counseling has definitely helped. something happened at church, and i was able to actually talk to don about it, without losing the plot or being accusatory.

1:48 am

Ripple effect! One good thing leads to another :)

1:48 am

what did Don do tie you down--lol

1:48 am

you all are so good for me.

1:48 am

1:52 am

Hope you'll photograph the windows, when they're done.

1:53 am

3:16 am

good morning again

3:17 am

that was quick and re HI

3:17 am

hehehe yeah it is close by. And a really good pedicurist too, medically schooled and she works fast.

3:18 am

did you get a paint job too--and if so what color

3:19 am

no, I didn't. It is not really her thing either, though she will do it (and beautifully) when asked. I will do so in summer, and then it will be the reddest red she has.

3:20 am

at least it makes you feel good about yourself as you should

3:21 am

I do my own fingernails every once in a while, it makes me feel so good about myself. Am rather extravagant with it too, even though I dress rather conservatively. My one big vanity, my fingernails :)

3:22 am

nothing wrong in that at all!

3:23 am

hehehe no I don't think so either.

3:23 am

I braid my nose hairs.

3:24 am

do you add beads too? lol--and good morning OO

3:24 am

oooo cute, o-o :) Do the braids go past the corners of your mouth or straight down?

3:25 am

I wax them so they stick out perpendicular to my body.

3:25 am

oh even better! Makes it easier to judge the width of a doorframe too.

3:26 am

like cat whiskers!

3:26 am

:)

3:28 am

when I was in town yesterday, the farm store had new chicks in---so cute but the little bannies are the cutest--so tiny they are

3:29 am

did you bring one? Or two? Just to start things up? :)

3:30 am

no--its too cold yet---I need to set up a heat lamp and all before doing that

3:30 am

ah I see. All in good time. Just looking should give you a good feeling already, I think :)

3:32 am

some of my hens will go to setting and I will let them hatch out their own and I dont have to fool with all that. The hens are much better at being amommy then Iam--lol

3:32 am

oh awesome! You can get more chicks that way and it won't cost you too much.

3:33 am

no, it wont cost anything---I can save the hens and sell the roosters

3:34 am

even better! That is awesome, pugs.

3:39 am

after today its suppose to start warming up again.And friday up in the 50's

3:42 am

oh wow! Finally, pugs. I hope this is it then for the winter.

3:43 am

Iam afraid not---some snow again over the week end but I think spring is in the teens now, is it not OO

3:44 am

16 days or thereabouts?

3:44 am

I made some mac and tomatoes for my sister that lives not far from me and Iam going there later today

3:45 am

I hope you have a nice visit, pugs.

3:46 am

fireflies for me

3:46 am

I wish you both (plus lurkers) a blessed day and a peaceful evening. *hugs*

3:46 am

her best friend lives a couple of houses down and she has md and Iam going to stop and she her too. Sinces shes in a wheelchair she likes the company

3:47 am

the same to you Sprite

3:47 am

sounds good! So good that you get out of the house. *hugs* once more :)

3:47 am

bye Sprite

3:51 am

Iam leaving for awhile too---bye OO and you are in my prayers and may He bless you today

4:46 am

6:21 am

i hear ya- i am up and down still packing the kitchen into its new space- making up my mind where to put stuff - sigh

6:22 am

A move is a pain, but also a good thing. Gives one a chance to clean out the excess

6:22 am

oh this was a remodel- so same thing- have much more space now :-)

6:23 am

we have now been in the same place for 20 years and the amount of stuff is staggering

6:23 am

the i was it 5/12- should have seen it- need more coffee- brb

6:24 am

we look at each other on Christmas and birthdays and shrug because we do not need any more junk. First world issues I know:)

6:29 am

6:31 am

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart How the music can free her, whenever it starts And it's magic, if the music is groovy It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll... arrrooooo.. catchy tune:))

6:31 am

all the bulbs are inches up and the daffs have formed buds. It is, however, too early, and I fear we'll get the much-delayed snow in March or even April

6:32 am

One year we had 2 feet on 16 April

6:32 am

ruby, You have been spared. I think this is the worst winter I have experienced and I have been around a long time

6:32 am

I love flowers

6:32 am

e've been too lucky

6:33 am

As long as we don't get a hard frost (unlikely), we should have a lot of Spring flowers

6:34 am

It will be lovely sitting in the garden with a brandy after dinner.

6:34 am

....if I ever finish my bench.....

6:35 am

6:36 am

Putting on the ri 4/9 as I dance away

In the 1988 Seoul Olympics, during the opening ceremonies, you may have noticed that they cut away from the doves a bit fast with the cameras and carried on. The reason being, as soon as the doves were released several of them decided to rest on the Olympic cauldron and were incinerated when the torch was lit:(.. I know a bit gruesome but still interesting

6:46 am

I thougt you wer going to say they pooped o the athletes

6:47 am

8:58 am

hello flosey

9:02 am

phae, do you live in the country? and have deer wandering through your property?

9:09 am

yes...that was taken outside our dining room window

9:10 am

wow, we have had them, on occasion, once we were walking around and found ourselves to be between Mother and a young one, neither of them knew what to do, so we got out of their way - but we do have to keep them out of the gardens

9:13 am

we feed them so they come in. It's great to watch the babies grow.

9:13 am

yes, they're so beautiful

9:15 am

need a cup of coffee, just up, bb in a minute

9:24 am

back, are we the only ones in here this morning?

I just came in.... good morning ladies :-)

9:25 am

good morning Diane

9:26 am

what a sweet little girl you have there

Has your snow disappeared ?

9:26 am

almost, I see a few patches around, we had rain yesterday

Thanks! That is our great granddaughter...She will be 3 in June and I'm missing her ( and everyone else ) very much ! I'm feeling a big urge to get back home !

9:28 am

ah, you are vacationing? somewhere without snow?

We spend about 3 months in our son's home down here in Casa Grande, Az. ( This is our 7th winter down here)

9:30 am

sounds lovely, now I do remember you speaking about your son having a place in Az

We come down right after Christmas and stay until mid April. Our son and daughter in law are here right now, enjoying a couple of weeks in "their" home with us. He's still a working man...with Telus in Calgary. :-)

9:33 am

ah, nice to have them with you

Your icon looks like an Alberta rose :-) Everything is in bloom here right now.... I love it!

9:33 am

yes, they grow wild around the property here

9:33 am

they are lovely aren't they

They bloom in Alberta in June and to this day, remind me of studying for exams and knowing that summer holidays are coming!

9:35 am

nice to have such memories surrounding exam time

I've lived in Alberta for all but 2 of my 74 years, and those 2 years were in lovely Victoria !!

9:39 am

what took you to Victoria? we lived there first year we were married - hubby's grad year from Vic College - think it may have been their last year issuing UBC degrees, they then became U Vic

9:40 am

lived in Vancouver next year - had to have 5th year ED. to become teacher

9:41 am

Good Morning everyone. I just read Diane say everything was in bloom and I was shocked:How could Cananda be so warm already (I had to read ALL of the chog to see my assumption was wrong!)

9:41 am

good morning Nef

9:41 am

we do have snowdrops - tiny but strong enough to survive the snow we had last week

*hands nef the tiara* you are queen for the day!

Our dad moved us all out there when I was 18, to be closer to his aging parents. I was oldest of 5, and had been going with my Wally for a year at that time. I worked in the Nova Scotia bank for 2 years and then Wally came and kidnapped me back to Alberta LOL ( actually married in Victoria in May 1960 and back to Alberta )

9:43 am

what a lovely story, diane

9:44 am

thanks TO; but that's the last thing I want. I caught a nasty cold yesterday and want to spend the day in bed; being pampered (as if that would ever happen, right?

Hi Nef :-) and TO :_)

9:44 am

great story, diane!

hello diane and all

i have hit a wall at 118

9:46 am

the last ha 5/12?

9:46 am

met hubby in Toronto (my hometown) while he was working to get funds to go back to college - he left, took 2 years, then came back in 61 when we were married - thus our first year living in Victoria

I'm looking forward to the time change next week ( Arizona does not observe daylight saving time) so I'll get the flip at 10:00 p.m. instead of 11 and may be able to play a bit before bedtime ! :-)

9:47 am

haven't come to the H's yet, sorry mac

9:48 am

starts at 10: here - but I do wish we would stay on DST year round

9:49 am

ha5/12 pork meat + Mr. Gore

So, I left Victoria just one year before you came ! Our courtships were so different then, weren't they Flosey? We seldom phoned ( could not afford it ) BUT, I have a big blue BIrks box filled with beautiful letters,.... about 200 of them, which my kids can have one day !

9:49 am

Oops, sorry that is the 5/14

howdy Lillian, suze. slow responding today. have English homework in another desktop window:))

hi crossy! multitasking again, I see :-)

4:41 pm

So much English, and it's your native tongue

4:42 pm

Hi uu, crossy, lilliann, bichon!! Just starting on this misty Northwestern day.

4:44 pm

Sue, i hope you don't have to cut too much and all goes well with your church

4:44 pm

for example, my teardown and subsequent book reports, essays, and expanded paragraphs ended up being longer than the book it was about by the time you factor in all the rough drafts, cites and final copies :/

4:44 pm

Murphy is busy tearing up a box. He thinks that is a good game. We are all well and the house building seems to be about six weeks from completion (I don't know which planet's time system we re using.)

5:23 pm

meCongrats uu!!

5:28 pm

phantom: kickie-wickie

5:43 pm

Good morning from down under :)

5:44 pm

Lilli - if you're still there - I think like you when it comes to the ri 4/9 word!

5:44 pm

good morning lizlin

5:45 pm

Hi Jen

5:47 pm

Hi Liz, sorry i was watching tv.It's the Brit in you:)

5:48 pm

How are you today - has the rain stopped?

5:51 pm

I'm fine thanks.I don't think we had rain up north today but i was in bed for most of it so it may of done.i t was dry this afternoon and evening, but we are still getting alot of rain in the U.K and winds.we seem to get more gales up here.How are you, and you're weather?

5:52 pm

I'm fine - weather's good here - autumn now and highs of about 27 C :)

5:53 pm

And hopefully for our US friends, I think the freeze is easing a bit.

5:53 pm

27C...it's not very often we get that here in the Summer up north, i'm jealous.No wonder you moved to Aus :)

5:55 pm

True - I like the climate here - not too many extremes where we live. Occasional days, when it might be in the high 30's but not often. Occasional humidity and a few winter nights, when the temp gets into mid-range single digits! Perfection, I reckon!

5:55 pm

yes, i hope the snow is finally ending for them.It can't be nice living in snow all the time

5:56 pm

I hated it when it snowed in the UK. Driving to work was the pits! It brought out the worst in many drivers! I saw drivers driving on pavement to avoid traffic jams!

5:56 pm

I must admit, that would be one Country i would live in.

5:57 pm

I never imagined living in Aus. I sometimes thought of NZ - we're hoping to visit there next year.

5:58 pm

Plus alot of drivers can't drive in the snow/ice as we're not use to it.Especially younger drivers, as they don't have any experience in it

5:59 pm

That's very true. First time I drove in heavy snow, i found myself trying to duck the snowflakes that were headed straight on at the windscreen! LOL!

5:59 pm

i should be a Kiwi now.My dad got a police job there when i was little but my mam didn't want him leaving us whilst she had to sell the house and sort things out

6:00 pm

Funny - all the might have beens! But for a choice! Do you watch Doctor Who? The episode with Donna - Turn Left!

6:00 pm

LOL, easily done...i get dizzy with snow coming towards the windscreen,so i stop indoors:)

6:01 pm

Good choice. I've got some beautiful snow photos, that i took shortly before I left England. It really is beautiful, when it's new.

6:01 pm

Not anymore.I remember the old episodes but i haven't watched them for years.My daughter use to love them but then stopped after dDavid Tennant left

6:02 pm

Well all for me now. 23 left on the grid and not likely I'm going to pursue them. Keep dodging the snowflakes, liz!

6:02 pm

And that's me as a passenger by the way

6:02 pm

if anyone needs me, I will be in Lickety's room!

6:02 pm

We both enjoy it and are looking forward to the new series.

6:02 pm

Hi stidg. Have a good evening.

6:02 pm

Also using lickety - down to 14 now. Started the morning at 25 or something similar.

6:03 pm

Bye Gmere, tc hin and hugs to you:)

6:03 pm

I am sown to 98

6:03 pm

New glasses are making me dizzy :( Combined computer / reading ones.

6:04 pm

We'll shout Jen :)

6:04 pm

39 here and i'm using lickety too

6:04 pm

thanks, lilliann, and I know what you are talking about lizlin!

6:05 pm

I was hoping to be finished by Midnight but it's the usual for me, that i'm still plodding along.i get easily sidetracked:)

6:05 pm

I have to take my glasses off now to read and go on the computor

6:06 pm

Taking a break now. Giving my eyes a rest. Only got these glasses yesterday. Before had separate reading and computer glasses. These are slightly stronger.

6:07 pm

Good luck with the grid. I'll be back in an hour or so to finish. Thanks for the chat.

6:08 pm

okay, liz, see you later

6:08 pm

Tc Liz, i hope you get over your dizzy spells, hopefully i won't be here when you come back(not nastily said) :)

8:33 pm

I hate doing babble on my phone or tablet...I sympathize bethn!

8:35 pm

beth, how much snow do you have?

8:36 pm

It has been a good way to ease back on the compulsion to finish. But i do miss not finishing regularly. Also it is not convenient for extended chatting as i am not the fastest 1 finger typist

8:36 pm

All of our snow is melting quickly....but not wanting to think it is sign of spring just yet.

8:37 pm

we are supposed to get more tonight or tomorrow, the last one went south so we got lighter snow

8:37 pm

We have a little more than a foot still on the ground, down from almost 2 feet at one point. I am so looking forward to spring

8:37 pm

8:40 pm

8:40 pm

Guess things are really bad for Minn as well, worst in 30 years. Same here, last year it was this snow stormy was in 1989.

8:44 pm

See you later jen..

8:44 pm

Ooh i will check it out are you expecting a big turnout?

8:45 pm

Oh dear, I think I know what my cross is to bear...Mom is getting to be a handful, and health fragile and deteriorating.

8:45 pm

Bye jen

8:45 pm

not very big - dorens, jbv, templeowl, hego, jmc - and whoever else shows up :)

8:46 pm

I would have loved to do a meetup when I was out there in December, but just wrong time of year.

8:46 pm

it's rough, jilly :(

8:46 pm

That is hard to handle jilly. How old is she?

8:46 pm

i'm still waiting for you to get your passport and come north

8:46 pm

we still have a reasonable amount on the ground...but not too much....just keeps snowing twice a week....not much each time usually....

8:47 pm

we're expecting more snow tonight, too - and it's been soooo very cold the last couple of weeks

8:47 pm

sorry....didn't realize Jen had left...

8:47 pm

very cold here this week, too....

8:48 pm

I have my passport!! I did also attempt a meetup with Jilli and Flosey last October, but that didn't work either...maybe I'm a jinx!

8:48 pm

what part of Canada penquis?

8:48 pm

It got up to 38 here today. I thought it was a little bit of heaven

8:49 pm

38 is springtime weather, beth - last week, we had wind chills of -45C

8:49 pm

sorry I mean welki rofl!!!

8:49 pm

alberta, shorty

8:50 pm

oh ok were taking a trip to the falls this weekend Canada side :)

8:51 pm

i've never been to the falls, even though i'm originally from ny/nj and it would have been an easy trip

8:51 pm

i am not in Canada....i am in Maine...

8:52 pm

Holy crap welki! How do you manage? I bought my daughter and me long northface jackets this year to cope with our -10 wind chills but -45 is unthinkable

8:54 pm

yes i accidently put ur name sorry I see u are from Maine I LOVE MAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:55 pm

i guess i've gotten (a little) used to it, but i have to say i'm sick and tired of winter already - it's been a bad one

8:56 pm

beth, i think i remember you telling me you're from morris county (because we were talking about how i used to live in sussex county) - yes?

8:56 pm

Thats me welki : )

8:57 pm

I haven't chatted much lately things were getting a little testy in the chog so i just opted out for a while

8:58 pm

and jilly - you're not a jinx, silly. plans just don't always work out

8:58 pm

Certainly hope not...I really would like to meet my babble buddies, you all are such a support system!

8:58 pm

yep, that's why you don't see a bunch of the 'regulars' much anymore

9:00 pm

And I am sorry about that...I do just ignore . I have to say it has been much better lately.

9:00 pm

Has there been a large exodus ? this is the first time I've been on in about 8 months

9:01 pm

Mostly personality clashes. I have to bite my lip now and then!

9:04 pm

how far are you from pincher creek, jilly?

9:04 pm

I know how you feel. I just found it easier to not even look. I come to babble to destress, not ramp up the level.

9:05 pm

exactly, beth

9:06 pm

Truth!

9:08 pm

g'night,everyone (and do try to come to the meet up, beth - will be fun!)
