{{hugs}} darling ruby

4:00 am

Burt just fell while walking Ruffino. I was walking Raffie, but got back sooner. A neighbor brought him home and he was all bloody, having hit his face and one arm and hand. Fortunately, I'm pretty good at first aid and the housekeeper was here to bring me wet towels etc. He looks like he was in a fist fight

4:00 am

He is very lucky that he didn't break his wrist or elbow!

4:01 am

I stay calm while administering first aid, but ned a Xanax after.

4:01 am

absolutely, ruby. so now you are going to have the dying swan on your hands.

4:02 am

how did he fall?

4:03 am

Morning everyone. Just caught your chat ruby while I was lurking. Burt is very lucky. I fell 3 weeks ago, landed on my right side. Fractured my elbow and discovered 3 days later I had also fractured my collar bone

4:03 am

Rue is very strong and pulls him and he is sonstantly pitting his will against the headstrong dog.

4:03 am

ouch, candy.

4:04 am

wow, Candy, we are lucky indeed Burt is almost 89 and this kind of fall could be the beginning of the end, if he breaks something

4:04 am

so are burt's dog-walking days over?

4:04 am

Very painful. But starting to feel some relief now

4:04 am

This is my third bad fall in 3

4:04 am

Did you have to go to the hospital?

4:04 am

Did you have to go to the hospital?

4:05 am

you poor darling. it will probably be at least another 3 weekfs before you are throught it all.

4:05 am

...less than 3 years. They are now going to investigate for epilepsy

4:05 am

e dogs are becoming a problem. I can barely manage Raffie as she weighs about 75 lbs and is also headstrong. But when she pulls, I hold onto whatever is handy and brace myself. Burt isn't sensible to that necessity

4:06 am

oh, is that a possibility, candy?

4:07 am

I think it is because there has been no reason for me falling, like tripping on something etc. I have literally fallen off my feet!!

4:07 am

ruby, what are your options? if the dogs are so strong how are you going to walk them?

4:07 am

We were just talking about epilepsy yesterday as Annie's Bobby had a seizure at work. The problem with that malady is that, unless you're in the midst of any attack, nothing shows on the brain scan

4:07 am

candy, do you remember the falls? as they happen, i mean.

4:08 am

First time I broke my nose and had a nasty bump to my head. Second time was just bad cuts and bruises and now this.

4:08 am

You are very young for that problem, Candy. Does epilepsy run in your family?

4:09 am

I don't remember much about first two. With this one, I can remember thinking as I was falling, "Don't hit your face" No family history of epilepsy

4:10 am

I am worried about diagnosis as I depend a lot on driving for my work. I would lose my licence if I was diagnosed with epilepsy.

4:11 am

Burt hit his face on the ground as well as his whole hand and arm. Epilepsy runs in my family: aunt, father, me, but I've only had one grand mal (maybe, because I don't remember it and I was alone at the time, just got blood allover the walls of the powder room) and had 7 petit mal.

4:11 am

i hope you get some results soon, candy. it must be scary not knowing.

4:12 am

My father only had one grand mal and was put on, I think, phenobarbital for the rest of his (long) life and continued to drive (!!)

4:13 am

I think not knowing is the hardest part. I would never forgive myself if I injured someone else as a result of my driving and blacking out at the wheel. My face was such a mess first time that strangers stopped me in the village to ask what had happened and that was after 4 weeks. I didn't leave the house when it was really bad!!!

4:14 am

he was fine afterwards and only had occasional tiny petit mal after he was 90

4:14 am

Hopefully have results by end of month.

4:14 am

Burt wants to go out to lunch but I'll tell the owner"You should see the other guy!", nor need to go into detail

4:15 am

that's quite a while, candy. are you on your own? do you have to work?

4:15 am

how do feel about going out, ruby? is burt shaken?

4:16 am

I live on my own, but always have company. My friends young daughter stays with me when her mum is on nightshift. I am self employed so I do need to work but thankfully I do work from home and can work my own hours

4:18 am

I must go get organised. Doctor appointment this morning. Ruby take care and look after Burt. bbl

4:18 am

i'm just concerned that you are on your own, dear. that's good that you can work from home. can you call people to help you for the next few weeks? i.e. like driving you to shops, etc.

4:19 am

Thank you granny. Just saw you in time! thanks for all the kind thoughts and concerns

4:20 am

maybe later, candy. hope you feel 100% soon.

4:20 am

good morning all

4:20 am

epilepsy is a scary thing. How is your blood pressure, candy?

4:20 am

{{sprite}}

4:20 am

yahoo!!! HELLO SPRITE!!!!! hugs and kisses

4:21 am

hi ruby and rose *hugs*

4:21 am

ruby, sprite, we are starting to plan our overseas trip. annency is in there, and definitely holland.

4:22 am

woooooot

4:22 am

ya, for Rosie and Don!

4:22 am

I'll be here, that's for sure!

4:23 am

i've told don to write down all the things he wants to do/see. and i will do the same. oh, and my brother tells me there is an unclaimed castle in belgium which belongs to my grandfather.

4:23 am

oh woooot you can come live near us ;)

4:23 am

sprite, are you enjoying your aloneness?

4:24 am

*giggle* it will be our little holiday place...

4:24 am

so much, rose. It is paradise. No pressure at all.

4:24 am

BIG HOLIDAY PLACE!

4:25 am

I will collect some addresses for bed and breakfasts here close by, rose, and send them to you.

4:25 am

i have been praying for you during this time. praying for re-vitalisation, peace, and contentment.

4:26 am

sprite, that would help so much.

4:26 am

as usual, your prayers work magic, rose. That is exactly what I am finding.

4:26 am

see you ater, ids, have to check on poor old Burt

4:26 am

yay man upstairs...

4:26 am

give him my love, ruby, and *hugs* for you

4:26 am

later, dear ruby. xoxox

4:28 am

hey sprite! we have just realised we will be over there when the motoGP is in barcelona. i am busting my foofoo valve to have don there. it would be such an experience to share with him.

4:29 am

oh wow. That would be awesome for you guys. Just make sure it doesn't shorten our time together!

4:30 am

honey, nothing is going to shorten our time together. it will be built in and around our sojourn in holland.

4:31 am

wonderful. Call me greedy and selfish, but I want to enjoy you fully :D

4:31 am

we are planning at least 4/5 days in holland. i think by that time, you will be delighted to see the back of us...

4:32 am

what? Whooo hold it. What happened to those 10 days you promised me earlier?

4:33 am

oh....i forgot....10 days it is, hmmmm, maybe 2 weeks? will have to start putting stuff down on paper.

4:34 am

good! Because I want to show you guys some good dutch stuff, but I don't want to rush you through the days. We need time to sit and chat and giggle too.

4:34 am

maybe the 3 of us, (you, me, and pugs) could go away for a few days and have some "us" time.

4:34 am

and I will cry when I have to see the back of you, I know that already

4:35 am

oh, that is also a great idea. Let me know what kind of place you'd like to stay then

4:36 am

so long as it is somewhere where we don't have to cook, wash dishes or clean....

4:37 am

somewhere quiet with a good pub nearby....lolol

4:37 am

ok, lovely. I am sure I can find some good places then. Maybe on one of our islands. Or in one of our woods.

4:37 am

roflolollllll ok :D

4:37 am

nah, not true about the pub.

4:38 am

oh, one thing I thought I'd better tell you, rose... eating out in the netherlands is not cheap. Don't know how it is in Australia but I know that american people are sometimes a bit shocked.

4:38 am

I know, we don't need a pub. A couple of bottles will see us through just fine.

4:39 am

hello dear friends....oh, how I WISH I could be a fly on the wall and listen to you two giggle and carry on in Holland! JEALOUS

4:39 am

sprite, this is one time where i am not going to take ANY short cuts.

4:39 am

hi Triffles! Would love to have you with us. Rose is gonna bring puglet along, btw :) It will be the three of us, can you imagine?

4:40 am

how amazing!!!

4:40 am

trif, love. hello!! you will just have to be satisfied with giggling and carrying on in the US of A when i get there.

4:40 am

is that all part of the same trip granny? I'm rather out of this loop, I'm so sorry

4:40 am

ok rose :) Am thinking, maybe I can find a nice little hotel. Or, if the cleaning dishes isn't a hard condition, a cottage and we can order food.

4:41 am

now everyone...best prayers forward please. i am going to tell youngest son and his wife that they have to make up their minds about the investment house.

4:42 am

no trif. america will be in maybe 2-3 years time.

4:42 am

ah

4:42 am

woooooot that is exciting, rose. Keeping fingers crossed. And prayers up to the Big Guy that this may enfold to the best possible outcome for all concerned.

4:42 am

good luck with your son, grannyrose

4:43 am

sprite, that is an option....i mean between the 3 of us, we should be able to wash some plates.

4:43 am

oh lovely, rose! We are gonna have so much fun. I am sure I can find the perfect place then.

4:44 am

too sad....we held a memorial service today for the victims of MH-17. an all faith service in the biggest cathedral in melbourne. the words spoken were so beautiful.

4:44 am

coming up with 9 f words is rather a challenge...usually just use the one :)

4:45 am

and buy paper plates, ladies

4:45 am

am glad you did, rose. Yes, so very sad.

4:45 am

roflol, trif...and it's not there either

4:45 am

*giggles* Trif!

4:46 am

if you get desperate looking for fe, try fl, grin

4:46 am

have 3 fls so far

4:46 am

in that case, if you get desperate looking for FL, try Fe

4:46 am

in that case you have all the fl's, trif

4:47 am

have 4 fes

4:47 am

ugh, why do i bother?? sprite says it for me...

4:47 am

the rest are FE, you have all the FL. Try a bit of french, a bit of medic speak.

4:48 am

its so cute, you two! You finish each others sentences ....what a blessing a friend like that is!

4:48 am

pfft, sprite. ;-P

4:48 am

the french was it! merci beaucoup!

4:48 am

rose and I are soul sisters, grin. We can speak with one mouth. But since we kiss different guys, we each have our own mouth anyway.

4:48 am

thanks for the visual, sprite....god help us all

4:48 am

trif, isn't it amazing? and we have never met face-to-face.

4:48 am

well done, Trif!

4:49 am

roflolollll I have such a way with words. Babble words, that is.

4:49 am

OMG!!! sprite, you are the mostut.

4:49 am

you are going to have to MAKE yourself sleep in Holland....I can tell. The impulse to sit up and talk all night will be strong

4:51 am

whooop - I have greyed the whole bottom row - FEAR ME

4:51 am

oh yes. A few hours every night is gonna be needed for our poor bodies. But our spirits will rejuvenate through the talk... and giggles.

4:51 am

we will probaly get pugs to hit us with the frying pan...lol

4:51 am

woooooot Trif has killer skills!

4:52 am

scary prospect, rose. Pugs is much stronger than she looks!

4:55 am

btw... was making a recipe for lovely indonesian rendang... it takes lemongrass... the recipe literally says to: "flatten the lemongrass by hitting on it with a frying pan". Weirdness!

4:56 am

and did you?

4:56 am

lolol....the mind pictures are killing me. and just who were you actually hitting with the frying pan?

4:57 am

um no. I just used the back of a big knife. Didn't trust myself with the frying pan, grin.

4:59 am

you have to flatten it until it becomes soft and then you need to tie it into a knot. Pretty odd, grin.

5:02 am

i'm guessing it's to release the oils so that the dish can absorb the flavour.

5:04 am

yes it is. First time ever I used lemongrass in its natural form. Usually I use the powder form, but it does not taste the same.

5:07 am

new babble dictionary word: tentour - holiday trek in canvas dwellings

5:08 am

yeah, i know what you mean. i had a cup of tea made with loose tea-leaves the other day. it was earl grey tea. it was to die for.

5:09 am

lol, sprite, i love it...put it in the dictionary.

5:09 am

ok :)

5:12 am

added :) Reading our defs never fails to bring a smile to my face

5:15 am

did we lose our Triffles in the hiccup?

5:16 am

she's off-line, sprite

5:16 am

sometimes the hiccup can hit us hard

5:17 am

dinner being served now. love, hugs and kisses...hope you enjoy your day alone.

5:17 am

oh, am actually gonna cook for myself today, rose! The same rendang dish. It is a slow simmer dish, so lots of lovely smells all day long

5:18 am

enjoy darling. A big *hug* for you and Don, and lots of love

5:18 am

yum...sounds so delish, dearest.

5:18 am

hopefully will catch you at the flip.xoxox

5:18 am

if I have time, I'll translate the recipe and send it to you.

5:19 am

thanx hun

5:26 am

fireflies. A blessed day and a peaceful night to all.

5:28 am

Hello, rose! Woke up again and can't go back to sleep..it's 3:30 am here.

5:33 am

gm, everyone.

5:33 am

Hey, there, dawg!

5:34 am

hi, Mimi! up before the sun and don't have to go to work...what's up with that?

5:36 am

I'm in a weird cycle. Started waking up around 2 in the morning and beginning my work around 4 so by 7 at night I'm falling asleep...which makes me wake up early again...gotta break this cycle.

5:38 am

my body rhythms just go wonky so up at all hours, usually early morning which is nice and quiet, and cooler temps. It must be sweltering in AZ.

5:39 am

Oh, yes..awful here. And since it's our monsoon season it has been humid as well, even though it has mostly been a NONsoon so far.

5:41 am

wish it would ra4/4 here too. it feels like the desert up here. ugh, I'm not a desert rat.

5:42 am

We all need rain here in the West...even California. This drought has been awful, even lowering the Colorado River for the first time in history.

5:43 am

I saw film footage of Lake Mead...OMG, that was depressing and scary. down 130 feet!

5:45 am

It's like there's an imaginary line running north and south and separating sides of the country...drought in the West and way too much rain in the East.

5:50 am

Well...guess I'll get started on my work for today. Going to try to force myself to stay awake until at least 10 tonight so maybe I can sleep through to 5...have a good one.

5:50 am

hagd, mimi

5:57 am

anyone have the link to BabbleExpert? I seem to have lost it and cannot get on to BE.

5:58 am

r46.me/BabbleExpert20110410.zip

5:58 am

I think Dan2bit has a link in his profile, annie.

5:59 am

thanks Molly and dasg

6:00 am

*dawg

6:00 am

Molly to the rescue!

6:00 am

Molly, where do I type this link? I am computer illiterate

6:00 am

In your address bar, where it now says www.playbabble.com

6:01 am

type it into the address bar, annie

6:01 am

It will then pop up a zip file at the bottom of your screen that you have to click on to download

6:01 am

where is the address bar, can I do that in google chrome?

Could I get a clue for en7, please?

6:02 am

Up at the top of your screen, where it says www.playbabble.com

6:02 am

En + locomotive

6:02 am

Good morning

6:02 am

tadone!! finito!!

thanks

6:03 am

I do not see www.playbabble.com.----I will go look. It might be in aol

6:03 am

and good morning, annie, molly mark and sukee

6:03 am

Hi Sukee, you're welcome Mark and yay LBD

6:03 am

and, ty for that clue too Molly :)

6:03 am

annie, hit alt key, that should drop down your address bar.

6:04 am

Annie, if you are on the Babble main screen, it has to say www.playbabble.com

6:06 am

Are you guys on Macs? When I hit my ALT key nothing happens.

6:06 am

Im lost. I went to aol and typed in the link and it came up 404 error.

6:06 am

I will go to aol again and see what happens.

6:07 am

You normally just copy a link and paste it in your address bar.

6:07 am

So how did you get to play babble Annie?

no6, please?

6:09 am

Screen shot of address bar: http://tinyurl.com/qazyv4g

6:11 am

Molly I did that link (46.me) on aol and it came back webpage cannot be found. will try this link

6:12 am

But, Annie how did you get here? What did you do?

6:12 am

good morning everyone

6:13 am

Hi crossy?

good morning all

6:15 am

Hi Marc?

6:15 am

howdy marc

6:15 am

Sheesh

6:15 am

Annie, that link should be putting a download at the bottom of your screen. Go to Google or somewhere other than AOHell

6:15 am

I know I didn't hit that ?

6:16 am

sukee, I was always on BE, this I lost the clues

6:16 am

sukee, check the question mark key it may be jammed down by something

6:16 am

Molly, how do I get the clues back so I can see them as I do Babble?

6:16 am

I once had a toast crumb as a culprit

6:16 am

So this is the only webpage you ever visit? You have to get Expert to do that as far as I know.

6:17 am

I keep getting error routing

6:17 am

Annie, your best bet is to email LIckety and ask him to send you a link you can just click on.

6:17 am

That is what I did, emailed him and he sent it.

6:18 am

I have the babble grid in front of me...I just cant accss the clues next to the grid. I guess I will email Lickety. Thanks for trying to help me.

6:18 am

r46.me/BabbleExpert20110410.zip works for me. It doesn't take you to a page. It pops up a download link at the bottom of your screen.

6:19 am

Where do I put the 446.me link?

6:19 am

*46.me

no6, please?

6:19 am

In the address bar that is usually at the top of your browser, next to the home key

6:19 am

Annie, what does it say at the top of your screen before .com?

6:21 am

It says :Start then BabbleExpert then a long blue line then search web and then a bunch of icons

6:21 am

You don't have the browser open then.

6:21 am

You have Babble Expert open.

6:22 am

marc: not prefix + utilize

6:22 am

Have you tried restarting it?

6:22 am

How do I open a browser? Do I go to google chrome? What the he4 is a browser? I know nothing about computers. I am so dumb when it comes to this?

6:22 am

no7 is one who does no6

6:23 am

Ty crayola

6:23 am

Yes Google Chrome is the browser

thanks got it

6:23 am

okay will go back to google chrome, thanks so much

6:24 am

you are not dumb annie. you just need someone to sit down with you for an hour and walk you through the basics. You should have seem me on my first day with a computer:)

6:25 am

Yes no one thinks you are dumb.

6:26 am

Well, this grid is challenging

6:27 am

It really is a lot easier when there is someone there showing you all this.

Ty Molly, weird word that.

6:38 am

I wrote to Lickety. Wow this is weird. Molly, could I have a virus on the computer?

6:40 am

Not sure Annie. Not sure why you suddenly lost part of expert. Do you have virus protection? If so, maybe run a scan.

6:40 am

I dont have virus protection. I dont play bills on the puter, I play games and email. Look up stuff and that's to.

6:41 am

*it.

6:41 am

You can still get a virus, even if not paying bills.

6:41 am

maybe I do. What a virus do this?

6:42 am

Malware, a virus, either can mess up your computer. That is why it's really important to protect yourself.

6:42 am

:( you really need someone to sit with you for a bit and show you the various things that your computer can do

6:43 am

Copy and paste would be your first lesson. It is a lot easier than typing urls into an address bar.

6:44 am

Good morning, nice today

6:44 am

howdy, bichon

6:45 am

Sun's out, lower humidity, what more could I ask

6:46 am

Right Click on what you want to copy. You will get a menu for copy. Then do the opposite when you want to paste

6:48 am

but remember, she has to left click and drag across text before trying to c+p it. All the things we do without even thinking about it:)

6:49 am

right crossy.

6:50 am

Tasks that are second nature can often be the hardest to break down into the basics and teach:)

6:54 am

I remember it taking days for someone to teach me the old print screen method for windows 95 and 98SE for getting screen shots. he had the patience of the gods I swear

6:55 am

had to run it through the old Windows paint program:)

Most of the time, people who have been warned about hurricanes and tropical storms well in advance take precautions.

1:38 pm

She was. I just wanted an update if she was around. But I sure she is busy enough.

1:39 pm

Scrabs, I just went on her page. She is home preparing for the storm.

2:33 pm

ty

2:33 pm

Never thought of that!

2:33 pm

good afternoon everyone:)

2:33 pm

where is Soodle? I just painted my toes (toenails) Scandal!!

2:33 pm

hi all

2:34 pm

hey crossy and peri ;-)

2:34 pm

Scandal??

2:34 pm

lovely day here today

2:34 pm

Bonjour, Une

2:34 pm

Hi Crossy!

2:34 pm

hot and humid here . . . and no rain for nearly 2 weeks

2:34 pm

trying to imagine Peri in a scandal...

2:35 pm

anything is possible, hego :0)

2:35 pm

Good for you!

2:35 pm

No scandal, really. Soodle seems obsessed with Peri and her toenail painting.

2:35 pm

scandal is a kind of a pink, almost a bubblegum color but I like it. it is a happy color

2:36 pm

photos, we need photos!

2:36 pm

I would have thought Scandal was a deep, kind of saucy red.

2:37 pm

I know, I will take pictures sometime soon and also of my new shoes. wish I had an iphone. it is so much easier to post photos with them

2:37 pm

really simple

2:37 pm

You can't post photos here anymore. The Flicker link is dead.

2:37 pm

I would post on FB

2:37 pm

But I guess you are talking about Facebook.

2:37 pm

could post as icon

2:38 pm

I think she means FB

2:38 pm

what if the icon is a photo?

2:38 pm

Or as an icon

2:38 pm

all my icons are photos . . .

2:38 pm

or most

2:38 pm

snap Peri

2:38 pm

Icons still work. It's just the Flicker link that is dead.

2:39 pm

32 left and stuck

2:39 pm

poor link

2:39 pm

missing 2 of the 7's

2:39 pm

hello folks - I never used flicker but was always able to post photos from my own PC library

2:39 pm

hi river

2:39 pm

hi River

2:40 pm

very busy day at work today - this is the first chance I have had to sneak on

2:40 pm

hey river :-)

2:41 pm

< -- sees River on tiptoe

2:41 pm

Again, it's not a problem with the icon posting. It's the Flicker link inside people's profiles.

2:42 pm

<----stupid river never knew how to use the flicker link...lol!

2:42 pm

me either

2:43 pm

I never tried

2:43 pm

I don't think too many people did.

2:43 pm

neither did I

2:44 pm

It's kind of a moot point now that photos are being shared on Facebook.

2:44 pm

My daughter is a huge flicker user......but that is because she is a photographer. I just never really cared enough or have enough pictures to work it!

2:45 pm

I use Picasa

2:45 pm

so true Molly.....but FB owns your photos once posted

2:45 pm

I just use my phone now.....too many cameras broken in the past.....my phone takes awesome pictures and they just save in the cloud

2:45 pm

en7 pls

2:46 pm

I'm an amateur photographer, but I rarely post my photographs on line. It'is too easy for people to copy them.

2:46 pm

en + choo choo

2:46 pm

en + locomotive

2:46 pm

ty both

2:46 pm

yw :-)

2:47 pm

Sarah is pro now - weddings, engagements, school, etc. Those of course do not go on Flicker. But her own crazy does.

2:47 pm

Actually Sarah sold one of her photos that was posted on Flicker. Brought as the cover of a book.

2:47 pm

cool!

2:47 pm

Great!

2:47 pm

wow, that is great, River, you must be so proud!

2:49 pm

sh6 please? last word . . .

2:49 pm

Funny part is was a picture of herself that she took with her face in war paint. It is the cover of a book called Savage written in French. I bought the book and had it shadowbox framed for her. It was really cool. Had to buy it through Amazon UK as not available in US.

2:49 pm

ooohhhh

2:50 pm

sh + ai4

2:50 pm

I am very proud of her accomplishments - and she still has one more year of college to go.

2:50 pm

how are your othr "kids" doing River?

2:50 pm

thanks Molly - back to work for me - nice to take a bit of a break and chat.

2:51 pm

Keith is great. Played soccer all summer getting ready for his last year of high school varsity soccer.

2:51 pm

9:13 pm

having a bad day gwen?

yeah, just overall feeling crappy. and hi, LTNS

9:16 pm

I find a good book and a good drink always makes me feel better

nbt at last, with 45 to go

ah, well, i never got "into" the alcohol, but, yeah, good books are always a comfort

9:17 pm

I got into Books and alcohol personally

9:18 pm

me too but a nice cup of tea works well for me too. Having a stormy night so I am going to curl up with a good mystery and drink. Good night everyone

9:19 pm

I guess that's better than books and crack

9:19 pm

night book

9:22 pm

cold here agin

9:22 pm

again

i might have some tea around here somewhere. or maybe some not-so-hot chocolate

9:27 pm

nice up here :D

i might have a book *about* alcohol . . .

had no apetite all day but i'm finally getting hungry, so i guess that's good

9:38 pm

it's a good sign bdg

now, to drag myself to the kitchen, ugh

6 to go, all Ts and As, LOL

9:58 pm

hi all!

hi sue, hope you guys are doing well

9:59 pm

hi gwen, we are ok. Frank is pretty exhausted.

10:00 pm

but he did get to his county board meeting tonight (I drove him) so that was good.

sounds like that might be a dull activity (!)

10:02 pm

it was the highway committee. I read a book :-)

fireworks, oy

10:03 pm

yay gwen!

you in a low-highway county or somewhere with lots of highways?

10:04 pm

mmm, not a lot exactly, it's not a huge county, but much of it is rural so lots of roads

10:05 pm

also lots of bridges, maybe 450? For a county with a population of about 100,000 that's a lot of bridges.

holy cow

10:05 pm

mostly they are little bridges but they still need work

a certain amount of neglect has been our SOP for a long time (i mean USians in general, not just rural counties)

10:06 pm

indeed it has

10:07 pm

*waves*

you ever drive in michigan? i assert that we have the worst roads in the country, as far as crumbling, potholes, etc

hi jmc

10:08 pm

I have although not too recently, and probably not in the worst parts - my son spent two summers at Interlaken

10:08 pm

and my stepmother moved to Ann Arbor just before she died

10:08 pm

hi jmc!

ah, well, ann arbor is a college town, so, in general, nicer than the average town 8-)

10:09 pm

i spent 2 hours working and its not bed time so i thought i could babble a bit

the muffler fell off my car the other day. just hit a bump and fell off. welcome to michigan LOL

10:10 pm

last winter was pretty tough on roads

10:10 pm

i have been to ann arbor. . .i gave a talk there and spent a day volunteering in the political candidate of my choices office. . .

all the freezing and thawing. oy

we expect new potholes to manifest in the spring, but last winter they started growing up big and early

10:11 pm

femer's not a word? i thought it was a bone???

jmc, change the 2nd vowel

10:11 pm

apparently the availability of salt is a big issue for the coming year

10:12 pm

ah. . . well you know about me and spelling. . .

10:12 pm

it's not spelled quite like that, jmc

10:12 pm

ty

salt is why our mufflers fall off!

10:13 pm

well, but without it the roads will be rather slippery

well, salt and giant potholes

yeah, i do appreciate the safety factor

10:13 pm

you could stay home. . .

bookdealers have to buy books 8- )

10:14 pm

I think it was the state of Illinois that went out for bids on road salt earlier this month, and didn't get any

10:14 pm

hmmmm. . . .you could have people mail them to you! :-D

i've been to wisconsin where they use sand in place of salt, and that's no damn good, IMO

10:15 pm

would you like me to mail you some books?

when buying books for resale it'

10:15 pm

<===always helpful

best to to inspect them in person

10:15 pm

there are places in Wisconsin where they're stretching the salt with whey

jmc, i'm pretty picky about what i buy, but tell me what you have and we'll see

10:15 pm

i don't even break the spines. . . but you don't like my taste. . . romance and mysteries. . . .

10:16 pm

haha its okay book i have looked at your books and we are worlds apart. . .

oh, yes, you're right, i'm not a fiction dealer, with a few exceptions of course

there are plenty of dealers who would want your books, they are both very popular categories for bookbuyers

10:17 pm

i am culling my shelves. . . should I keep an eye out for nonfiction?

if you have something unusual, i would probably be interested, yes.

10:18 pm

me. . .i am glad to give things away. . .I will look. . . i tend to have some pretty unusual books. . .i will look at your webpage again. . .

history, science, theology, genealogy, that sort of thing.

10:19 pm

fireworks!

hooray for sue !!!!!!!!

10:19 pm

whoo hooo!

10:19 pm

hmmm theology is possible. . . and lots of history. . . we will see. . .

jmc, if you do have something that i want, i would be happy to send you some money to cover shipping or whatever

10:20 pm

i have been sending my fiction to Better World Books for the price of the postage. . .

10:20 pm

that is a deal book . . .like i said i am in the culling stage. . .

10:21 pm

is the lower r an RE word?

10:23 pm

yes, there are two re words

10:24 pm

okay. . .

10:24 pm

nbt. . . and that will do it for me tonight. . .

10:24 pm

at annual meeting (quaker stuff) and still getting up early so to bed to bed said sleepy head. . .

10:25 pm

yay jmc!

10:25 pm

10:25 pm

*waves again* . . . .*poof*
