I'm worried about the Texas storm going toward Austin where my son is
it does look like a bad one, Ruby, but I'm sure everyone in the area is taking precautions. The ones in danger are the underpriviliedged -- they never seem to get much help from anyone down there.
His housre is siituatered abovee a creeek in a razvine which floods sometimes; most of the yeartr, it'ss a ttrickle
(sorry for the typos)
I guess mothers always worry, no matter how old their children are
that is true
This place has a great climate; the only bad weather here is occasional piercing Wind storms through thr valley

All four of my grandparents were born Austrian too, in south tyrol. considered themselves italian, despite the fact that we weren't annexed until the end of ww1

I'm great, scrabbs. Kids had a bout of the stomach bug, which is par for the course, and my eldest is always slow to recover.
excited for fall, I have to say
Gastroenteritis is a miserable illness. I despise nausea and vomiting--so awful to endure.
I feel especially bad when it happens to toddlers, it's awful to not be able to help them
And the act of vomiting is so frightening for them.
Texans are used to hurricanes. They will be fine.

owl - tell me this isn't the week you're supposed to be going to cajun fest
i am down to 2 and i am brain dead...
no next. but i lost my chance
I need 102 and am struggling to pass halfway.
i did go to the exlipse though
scrabbler!....did you plot your drive to Acadia yet?
Well, Google Maps did--11 hrs 17 minutes from my friend's house. I live 2 5minutes south of her.
and you are stopping outside of Boston?
We take 95 to Bangor then head to the park on ALT 1, according to the map.
as 6 pls?
ah....too far north for me to intercept you....
as 6....relating to the stars...
I have a friend in North Andover so we will stay there on the way to and from the park. We can do some activity near North Andover both days--kayak or bike or hike.
that should be nice...
I have been reading a book about the park (hiking, kayaking, and biking) and I already know that I will want to return in the next 1-2 yrs.
i am sure you will really enjoy it...
Driving all of that in 1 day (almost 12 hrs) is just too much.
yes....you don't want to waste a day there recovering from your drive....
But my friend decided that we will leave on Labor Day and cancelled our last night at Bar Harbor. She pissed me off!
Although I hate to waste 2 days driving, but we will arrive fresher and can still be active every day.
i bet!....to go all that way and cut a day....frustrating....
as 6 pls?
i clued it....relating to the stars...

She is bossy and controlling and her decision yesterday has me questioning whether I want to ever go on a vacation with her again..or be her friend. Difficult situation.
sorry to hear it...
welki, are you still here?
Me too. But I cannot allow her strong personality to dictate my life.
for sure...
i had that happen to me. the friendship was broken
I am not confrontational at all, and just too nice, so I am not sure how to deal with this. I am about ready to be done after detaching from her for the last few years.
good night. off to watch the eclipse video mu comapnions shot
So, Owl, how did you resolve it? A discussion or did you drift apart?
there was no drfit. an outright break
I know she will just get defensive and then cry. But she has a long pattern of being bossy and controlling, changing plans frequently, etc.
so why are you vacationing with her?
We have hiked, biked, kayaked, snowshoed, and skied together for years.
Although in the last few years I have made an intentional effort to emotionally detach from her and do less with her.
i'm sorry, i think i may have spoken without following the conversation. pardon me pls.
That's ok.
she had no right to do what she did without consulting you. that had to be addressed when she told you. can you reinstate?
i would have had her get it back or I would have cancelled the trip.
Part of me is fine with spending one less day and night with her. I am focused on having a great experience in spite of her.
well, there you go. there is no problem to solve then
But, lesson has been learned: make no plans with her and do not vacation with her ever again.
I will return to the park in the future with others.
have a great time! i am looking forward to going to the canada part
Where?
and now to my eclipse video.
Bye, Owl. Thanks for your input.
goof night
well i think your attitude is a good one....go to have a good time...
Yes, I want to have 4 days of adventures and get to know the park. I want to return with my sisters and cousins someday soon.
sounds like a plan...
my great nephew just spent the summer at MDI Labs doing an internship in microbiology research....
But I am struggling with this "friendship."
Ah, MDI = Mount Desert Island.
it sounds like you need to clear the air with her....let her know what you need from the relationship and if she can't give you that, you need to distance yourself...
yes, the lab is in Bar Harbor....he's entering the Univ. of VT right now....wants to major in microbiology, i think....
The friendship matters more to her than me, although she doesn't treat me like an equal. She calls me her best friend. But I see years of bossiness, controlling behavior, lying...
I love UVM and Burlington.
well if you can be honest with her, she has a chance of saving the relationship...
yes, he fell in love with the city and the school when he visited...he's very excited...
It will be tough for me because I am too nice, yet I am ready to say good-bye.
I first visited Burlington in 2006 and was ready to move there. Great city and location.
well if you are honest and willing to break the relationship, she has a chance to change and save it....her choice...
Yes, good point. She is the most difficult friend that I have ever had. She wasn't like this 20+ years ago when we first met. And all of us in our circle have the same feelings.
Did you grow up in Maine?
yes...born in Lewiston...
went to grad school in Virginia....UVA...
I just found Lewiston on my brand-new Maine map.
I have a med school friend in Kittery.
hah...Lewiston-Auburn....has the second highest population in Maine...
Kittery...home of the factory outlets...
Is Portland #1?
yes....Bangor is third, I think...
I am still not halfway and the bottom i is blank. Help, please?

i am doing a crossword from 1994....clue: vacation memento....answer: slides....hah!
Hahaha. I have some old crossword puzzle books but I find too many outdated clues/words.
it's tricky...i am doing the NYT archive puzzles...
Those are my favorite. I bought Patrick Berry's book of puzzles. He is a frequent contributor of NYT puzzles. Very sneaky and clever.
nice...
And at 88/82 I am done. TY for your help and advice.
you're quite welcome....
Remy Rabbit already went up to our bedroom. He sleeps in there overnight and sometimes jumps on my bed.
heh heh...
The other night I woke up and found him at the foot of the bed. He is so sweet.
sounds like he is quite attached to you...
He sure is. It sure is special when our pets are bonded to us.
yes...
Well, it's time to join my boyfriend Remy in bed. ;-)
goodnight...
Sleep well.
