2:59 am

2:59 am

sprite

you answered before I asked, lol

2:59 am

sprite

very taxing, both on him and on the family, I think. Sounds tough.

3:00 am

kierlex

3:00 am

3:07 am

sprite

3:07 am

FranMag

yum sprite

3:07 am

xamot

no, just a cat.

3:07 am

kierlex

i have to share part of one of my dreams last night. I had an italian soda that was made with dark chocolate syrup and it was called 'homicide by chocolate'

3:08 am

sprite

some dream, kier! :D :D

3:08 am

FranMag

how funny kier!

3:08 am

herinfernallady

I had a slice of berry loaf but i just forgot to eat and shower and get out of my pjs

3:08 am

xamot

rath

3:08 am

xamot

sorry

3:08 am

sprite

a cat can easily adapt to your programme, lol, xamot. Wonderful combination.

3:08 am

FranMag

like death by chocolate, but someone else made it for you?

3:08 am

kierlex

well, if i can't dream about keanu then i guess chocolate is the next best

3:09 am

xamot

yes, the cat is pretty flexible... i don't think he cares when i work, as long as i give him food two times a day.

3:09 am

herinfernallady

mmmmm chocolate, spos i should get off my butt and fry up the curry

3:09 am

kierlex

i dunno fran but it ended up costing $15. I also had a dream about zucchini. I am not sure what that means!

3:09 am

sprite

I think the combination is worth trying for, kier :)

3:10 am

meliae

you guys are making me hungry

3:10 am

FranMag

you're going to run soda fountain one day? and serve zucchini bread

3:10 am

kierlex

sounds like the makings of a kinky movie. Keanu, Kierlex, Zucchini and Chocolate.... Take One!

3:10 am

sprite

I mean keanu plus chocolate, of course. No zucchini.

3:11 am

FranMag

i'd watch it kier (try to get an R-rating)

3:11 am

sprite

what's an R rating?

3:11 am

herinfernallady

18plus

3:11 am

meliae

toss in George clooney and I am so there!

3:12 am

Jellen

US film industry rating

3:12 am

FranMag

must be 18 to see it alone, but not bad enough for an X

3:12 am

sprite

ah, ok! Thought that was X, lol.

3:12 am

sprite

owwww ok! X is beyond R.

3:12 am

FranMag

mmm, george and chocolate

3:13 am

kierlex

i think it would be an x for sure

3:13 am

sprite

is X always sex related? Like porn? Or does it also apply to violence?

3:13 am

FranMag

yay! just found ta7x2 and te7 while we were talking

3:13 am

meliae

I agree but we must toss in strawberries and whip cream too

3:13 am

sprite

(sorry if I am asking stupid things, I am just curious)

3:13 am

FranMag

it would have to be extremely violent to warrant an X without being pornographic.

3:14 am

meliae

lots of bad curse words will get an X rating sometimes too

3:14 am

herinfernallady

oh thanks now i want strawberrys and they are out of season here

3:15 am

sprite

thanks Fran, that clears those ratings up a bit for me. So X can apply to extreme violence, but rarely does... X usually means porn. And R is for adults, but not extreme.

3:15 am

FranMag

basically sprite

3:15 am

meliae

my strawberries are just ripening

3:15 am

sprite

thanks meliae, so bad language is an issue too... I will remember!

3:16 am

FranMag

i'll be back in a bit

3:16 am

meliae

the language thing is not so bad now as society as a whole curses so bad it is just rediculous

3:16 am

sprite

bye for now, Fran

3:16 am

kierlex

oooh pur raspberries are ripening too

3:17 am

meliae

yes I saw the U-pick place I go to advertising raspberries today on tv

3:18 am

herinfernallady

Sprite : There is some really ridiculas ratings in AUs

3:18 am

herinfernallady

Ok for example a graffic rape scene is R rated but sex no violence with gratitus tits and arse is X or XX or XXX rated

3:19 am

herinfernallady

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of
_Film_and_Literature_Classification_(A
ustralia)

3:19 am

herinfernallady

3:20 am

meliae

3:21 am

FranMag

kier, my son turned 4 in February and my daughter turned 2 in May.

3:40 am

sprite

night Tec

3:40 am

kierlex

ahh the terrible 2's and ferrocious 4's =)

3:41 am

FranMag

that about describes them kier! :-)

3:41 am

FranMag

they're great kids though, despite their strong personalities.

3:41 am

kierlex

i think 4 was WAY worse than 2 or 3 for both our kids.

3:42 am

sprite

isn't it great they have strong personalities! I love mine for it.

3:42 am

FranMag

hmm, i don't know how my daughter could be more obstinate or stubborn. thanks for the warning. :-)

3:43 am

kierlex

my son is just like my hubby. thus they clash a lot.

3:44 am

FranMag

i do like their personalities, exasperating at times though.

3:44 am

sprite

oh yes Fran, it is a challenge. But imagine your kids being doozies... that would be so much worse, lol.

3:44 am

kierlex

i love my kids' personalities, too. they are definitely their own individuals. it is fun to see them grow and change.

3:44 am

FranMag

my son announced yesterday he was too old for baths.

3:45 am

kierlex

but sometimes i just want to flee and live by myself on a beach in a hut

3:45 am

FranMag

i know sprite, you're right.

3:45 am

sprite

wooooot! Nice opinion... and now he stands corrected, lol.

3:45 am

kierlex

well then he can take showers =)

3:45 am

sprite

kier: don't we all! Put them under the wallpaper and move!

3:45 am

FranMag

that's what i told him kier! :-)

3:46 am

sprite

tsss addicted grids. Heroin first now co in variations.

3:46 am

kierlex

i don't understand how 2 little people whom i love so much can make me turn into an irrational volcano of mom bitchiness

3:46 am

FranMag

yes sprite, and the ca6 that brings them in.

3:46 am

kierlex

sprite what r u talking about?

3:47 am

FranMag

it's their special gift kier.

3:47 am

sprite

that's because they are yours, kier. They know instinctively how to push your butons, one by one.

3:47 am

jakes-mum

good morning everyone

3:47 am

kierlex

and my son is like my husband (who has admitted to a counselor we've seen that YES HE LIKES TO PISS ME OFF ON PURPOSE)

3:47 am

sprite

about the bad drugs? See co6 and co7.

3:47 am

Jellen

hi, jakes-mum

3:48 am

sprite

hi jakes-mum

3:48 am

FranMag

hi jakes-mum!

3:48 am

sprite

how weird, kier... why?

3:49 am

FranMag

jakes-mum, we're just talking about the joys of having two children...are you ready for it? :-)

3:49 am

kierlex

i dont know sprite, he couldn't answer that question. he likes to push people's buttons (he gets to do that a lot in his job!!)

3:49 am

kierlex

ahh when are you due jakes-mum if you don't mind me asking?

3:50 am

sprite

true kier, but he better not press yours on purpose. Seriously.

3:50 am

lynxxx

'coz they get attention. good or bad, doesn't matter!. and boys seem to be worse than girls - in my experience only of course

3:50 am

jakes-mum

nooooooooooooo! it's hard enough with one lol! My son is his father in miniature right down to the sayings and facial expressions! I hope this ones like me (8th Jan Kier)

3:50 am

kierlex

i just want my 2 kids to LIKE each other when they get older. so they can provide some sort of support for each other.

3:50 am

FranMag

that's very true lynxxx, that's what it's all about

3:51 am

kierlex

well sprite, we've made it 16 years of marriage with him pushing my buttons...

3:51 am

FranMag

i'm sure they will kier.

3:51 am

jakes-mum

Siblings NEVER like each other! I have 2 older sisters who still hate each other to this day (I get on with both though surprisingl!)

3:51 am

sprite

I think I agree, lynxxx, my daughter seems to do that slightly less than my son.

3:52 am

sprite

I think that makes you a very patient woman, kier :)

3:52 am

kierlex

i can't stand my brother. but he molested me when i was 5-10 yrs old so i have a skewed idea of sibling relationships and i want theirs to be GOOD

3:52 am

sprite

my kids love eachother. Ok, they fight sometimes, but they play together a lot and they really help each other.

3:52 am

kierlex

sprite, i am practically perfect in every way! (as mary poppins once said)

3:52 am

kierlex

how old r your kids sprite?

3:53 am

sprite

lol kier, I am sure you are!

3:53 am

jakes-mum

I hope my 2 are like that sprite, especially as there is going to be 6 1/2 yrs between them

3:53 am

sprite

kier: daughter is 9, son is 11

3:53 am

kierlex

my son def pushes my buttons more. my daughter just pretends like she doesn't hear us and does her own thing as long as she possibly can and then she tries to 'cute' her way out of trouble

3:54 am

sprite

part of it depends on their nature, jakes-mum. If their personalities just don't click at all, there is only so much you can do. But we taught ours to communicate. Put a lot of time and effort in helping them learn. It helps!

3:54 am

jakes-mum

My son is desperate for a brother or sister, he actually said to us "I don't want to be lonely anymore" which is the main reason we decided to have another one.

3:55 am

jakes-mum

I could cope with other people saying he shouldn't be on his own but when he said he was lonely that floored me

3:55 am

FranMag

awww, that's heart-wrenching jakes-mum!

3:56 am

kierlex

ahh, that's sweet jakes-mum. however, don't be surprised when he asks to send the baby back where it came from =)

3:56 am

sprite

I have seen that putting things out in the open helps to keep the relation clear. They are bound to be jealous, or hate eachother sometimes. If they can say that they are, and aren't ridiculed for it but get help to go through it and see what is underneath those feelings, they really learn to handle them.

3:56 am

jakes-mum

I had a terrible birth with Jake which made me adamant not to do it again, but I would do anything for the happiness of my son so he asked we agreed

3:57 am

lynxxx

My 2 are 5-6 years apart, and although there was quite a bit of jealousy from the firstborn after the second came along...they are both now (as adults) really close and both have admiration & respect for each other - its lovely to see

3:57 am

jakes-mum

that is so lovely lynxxx.

3:57 am

FranMag

that's great lynxxx, something to look forward to for me

3:57 am

sprite

wow lynxxx, that is great

3:58 am

jakes-mum

I must admit even though my sisters don't get on if something ever happened I can't see either of them turning their backs on the other.

3:59 am

FranMag

that's how me and my sisters are jakes-mum, i'm the oldest of 3 girls.

3:59 am

jakes-mum

at the moment I am trying to explain to Jake why he isn't sharing his room wih the baby (we have a spare room!) he's not happy

3:59 am

flosey

back again - reading back - Sprite, Kier, FranMag - i have 4 and as kids they played great together, now as adults (in their 30's - 40's) they're great friends

3:59 am

FranMag

he'll understand when the baby cries in the middle of the night jakes-mum!

my sister has always been jealous. When she married a much older man who definitely didn't want any more kids (his son was older than my sister), she said she would never want kids herself. Then, when I got kids, she started hating me. Never got over it. She is divorced and remarried now, and has her own kids. I am dead to her.

bye Jellen, sweet dreams!

4:07 am

kierlex

'intuition' of what we were having

4:07 am

meliae

I used to wish mine were closer together when they were babies, but as they grew older it was nice having them split up more

4:07 am

kierlex

that was a long confusing statement

4:07 am

sprite

my husband had it right for each of our kids. The gender I mean. I just had no idea.

4:08 am

jakes-mum

I had intuition on Jake knew he was a boy before we found out by scan, can't tell on this one

4:08 am

larlielou

morning jakes-mum are u home

4:08 am

kierlex

do you have a feeling one way or the other about gender jakesmum?

4:08 am

jakes-mum

Yes larlie, feeling better today (I keep leaning toward girls names kier, but keep saying he when I talk abot it!)

4:09 am

meliae

I really didnt have an idea with my son, with my daughter I just knew I even went so far to buy all gilr things, my husband thought I was nuts

4:09 am

kierlex

4:09 am

jakes-mum

I have a name for each though

4:09 am

kierlex

ohh will you share the names or are you keeping them secret? i love to hear about baby names!

4:10 am

meliae

me too!

4:10 am

jakes-mum

I have been much more ill with this one than Jake which is why I am leaning toward a girl, and my best friend (also pregnant) has a feeling its a girl

4:10 am

larlielou

glad to here that have u eaten today

4:10 am

kierlex

by the way i just read a crazy article about people hiring professional baby namers to help them name their kids! i think it was in the new york times recently

4:11 am

jakes-mum

If a girl I want to call her Abigail Holly Jean (holly after my great nan, Jean is my middle name) if a boy Joshua Bailey George

4:11 am

meliae

my daughter is Rosalynn I had that name picked out since I was a little girl, my real name is Rhondalynn

4:11 am

sprite

ohhhhhh Rhondalyn, that is SO beautiful! So is Rosalynn. I love those.

4:11 am

4:12 am

kierlex

anyone else want to share their baby names/stories behind them?

4:12 am

meliae

my son I named by acronyms sort of I got preggers in july and was writing out the names of the months...July august sept oct nov, and saw they spelled Jason, so Jasonlee it was!

4:12 am

jakes-mum

Jake has my husbands first name as one of his middle names so if I have another boy he should have Chris' middle name (george)

4:12 am

meliae

I love abigail for aname

4:12 am

kierlex

my daughter is kiernan isabelle and my son is alexander kellum (thus kier + lex = kierlex)

4:13 am

sprite

my son is Tim. Nothing more or less. He 'felt' like a Tim. My daughter is Isis Caya. The name Caya came up just before birth and it finally became her ... what is the word... the name we use daily.

4:13 am

jakes-mum

The nanny is being very quiet about my choice of names, what do you think larlie?

4:13 am

sprite

I love those too, kier!

4:13 am

jakes-mum

I toyed with isobelle which is a name I always loved but this one doesn't feel like an isobelle, does that sound strange?

4:14 am

flosey

I too had name picked out for first child if a boy, long before the occasion, then we moved in the last month and one night lady next door screamed out to her kid "DAVID ALLEN YOU GET IN HERE" there went my name!!

4:14 am

kierlex

the only thing i thought of as odd was bailey and george together because it reminds me of 'George Bailey' in the movie 'it's a wonderful life'

4:14 am

larlielou

well like part

4:14 am

sprite

absolutely not, jakes-mum. The kid is already present and has his or her own energy with him/her. If it doesn't feel right, it isn't :)

4:14 am

kierlex

ohmigosh my father-in'laws name is david allen and he named all his boys with the middle name of allen (only spelled differently)

4:15 am

sprite

lol flosey!

4:15 am

jakes-mum

4:15 am

meliae

my grandkids are, Ashley 15Justinlee 12, Kendra, 8 williamlee 4 Michael 2 (Jakoblee 2 Micahlee 3 these are the twin boys)

4:15 am

kierlex

we had a hard time settling on a boy name for number 2 (tho she turned out to be a girl). we finally settled on Spencer Philip and 2 hours later my water broke. thankfully it was a girl so we could use kiernan isabelle

4:16 am

flosey

allen was a family name, I used Alan

4:16 am

larlielou

love boys name girls not to shaw

4:16 am

sprite

did anyone like my kid's names, btw? :)

4:16 am

meliae

oops Miach is 2 not 3 lol

4:16 am

jakes-mum

you only like the boy name cos I picked the names you picked for your son! (disapproving look) lol

4:17 am

flosey

love the name Ashley, kids had both male and female friends with the name

4:17 am

larlielou

but will love to bits which ever

4:17 am

meliae

yes sprite I really like your daughters name and love the Caya as a nickname

4:17 am

kierlex

i love the name Tim and timothy. Isis is very unusual and Caya is pretty (is it Kayah or Sayah?)

4:17 am

sprite

:D

4:17 am

jakes-mum

Sorry sprite missed your post. I love the name tim, its my brother in laws name who I adore

4:17 am

larlielou

like josh and bailey

4:18 am

sprite

it is Kayah. Isis is Egypt goddess of fertility and Caya comes from Gaya, mother ea5. Don't ask me why, the names just had to go with her.

4:18 am

kierlex

here are boys names i liked that my hubby hated: Thatcher, Micah, Mitchum, Malachi

4:18 am

jakes-mum

What would you pick for a girl larlie (you had final say on Jakey!)

4:18 am

flosey

do have to be a bit careful with 'popular' names - there were several David's all thru school but never another Gordon

4:18 am

jakes-mum

I like the thought of having a JAke and Josh as jakey's favourite programme is Drake and Josh on nickalodeon

4:18 am

sprite

my husband is named Robert, Rob in daily life. He said he always was very happy not to have more names and he wanted the same for our boy.

4:18 am

larlielou

bailey is a good first name

4:19 am

meliae

my daughter only had boys but if she would have had a Girl she was going to name her Lauralynn to carry on the Lynn theme, perhaps I will get a great grandaughter with that name =)

4:19 am

meliae

I have always like the name Robert that is my brothers name

4:19 am

kierlex

well sprite, i must say that when i was growing up there was a cheesy show on called Shazam about a superhero and some other superhero woman and they said 'OH MIGHTY ISIS!!!' so that reminds me of that show!

4:19 am

meliae

oh I will have to ask my aunt about that, she is PHillapino but I am pretty sure they used american middle names, I really dont remember my cousins middle names

4:21 am

jakes-mum

I have a very strange love for 2 middle names I don't know why but Jake always was going to have 2 middle names as do both my sisters kids

4:21 am

BabbleRabble

a loveable child will make almost any name a good fit ... the name will bring good feelings to the fore .. the parents' task is to help the child make the name a word that will bring a smile

4:21 am

hi sprite, hows things

jakes-mum

The bond between my husband and my son is amazing even when he was small he would rush past me to his dad! when I was pregnant with him if I rolled away from chris he would kick me until i'd roll over and put my belly in chris back, then these hands would feelabout to check before jake would go to sleep

I agree kier! How can one do that to his/her kid?

4:28 am

jakes-mum

it's amazing what babies do, Jake was always a daddies boy and I don't think that will ever change. And surprising ly I like it that way

4:28 am

kierlex

jakes-mum, my daughter is such a daddy's girl. she was only 4 lbs when born and i don't think my hub put her down for the first month! I had to practically beg him to let me hold her =)

Chris would watch Jake sleep for hours! we put a single bed in Jakes room and chris would just lie there and watch him breath

it's so nice to have involved dads. i still can't believe the number of dads who just barely interact with their kids...

I guess there wasnt a URA but Ima is bad, I looked for the other name and its a fallacy that she exhisted

4:30 am

I actually think that todays dads are more involved with their kids than they were 20 or even 30 years ago

4:31 am

my husband decided to spread his working hours over 4 days in stead of 5, so he would have one 'normal' day each week with his kids, and not just weekend days. He did that before our son was born and he has been involved with them totally. He is a wonderful dad.

4:31 am

kierlex

yes, he's a handful to put it mildly. he is very wise tho, too. when he was 3 1/2 my hub was teasing him about santa bringing him coal in his xmas stocking if he didn't behave and my son just said 'well, then i will make diamonds out of the coal!'

4:48 am

sprite, how about the Fr6/30 please?

4:49 am

sprite

sure did, BabbleRabble. Had a talk with the doc about the pain medication and got it tripled, with permission beforehand to take it up to double that amount if necessary. Am building it up slowly, not there yet. But the anti dep is kicking in, making it easier for me to know what I want and make decisions, however small. Thanks for your support, your words earlier really helped me see that I had to take charge.

We have earwigs.

5:43 am

ah yes. Not fully awake yet (or at least that's my excuse)

5:43 am

NonoNanette

as good an excuse as any eva

5:43 am

Haz1558

I don't think they bear thinking about at any time.

5:44 am

hey, herin :-)

5:51 am

loredana

Herin you just a big tease I am off to get some dinner see you bablers later

5:51 am

Eva

lots of deer this year. And they have plenty of other stuff to munch on. Unfortunately am much too soft heartd to ever harm them....but will try my best to discourage their using my garden as a smorgsabord.

5:51 am

Uneaixoise

later, lore :-)

5:53 am

herinfernallady

But your eating them Eva. Does that stuff work

5:54 am

Eva

The garlic clips and liquid fence spray worked until now, but apparently they gets used to anything, and you have to keep switching around. I've had a lot of luck with the coyote urine in the past, with raccoons, but we'll have to wait and see.

5:55 am

Eva

I'm not eating the deer, if that's what you meant herin

5:56 am

herinfernallady

Ok Eva you said Bambie burger and thats what i thought

5:56 am

Uneaixoise

me too, herin! LOL

5:56 am

Eva

I said I was thinking about them...out of revenge fantasies, but would never actually do it.

5:57 am

Uneaixoise

Eva, I'll trade you some devious squirrels and chipmunks for a deer or two!

5:57 am

herinfernallady

see i probably would, and squirrels freak me out

5:57 am

bichon

313 words and no s?

5:58 am

Uneaixoise

yes, bichon . . . sigh . . .

5:58 am

Eva

Unea-the same company makes fox urine, which might work with the squirrels. But then again, squirrels are unbelievably persistent and smart.

5:58 am

Uneaixoise

squirrels are rocket scientists when it comes to stealing my birdseed!!

5:58 am

herinfernallady

I have 2 ca 7s both alike what is the last one please

5:59 am

any suggestions for keeping the neighbor's cat away from my birdfeeders?

5:59 am

Une - get a dog.

6:00 am

herinfernallady

Une and eva we have been told to pee on the trees to deter possums, not up for that idea myself

6:00 am

Uneaixoise

i may try the hose--yelling and clapping sure doesn't work! LOL

6:00 am

Uneaixoise

eewww, possums are soooo nasty!

6:00 am

lynxxx

Malamutes are excellent for getting rid of cats - and possums

6:01 am

Uneaixoise

the redeeming feature re the cat in my yard is that I'm pretty sure he hunts chipmunks!

6:01 am

herinfernallady

Um the possums are really cheeky at my parents place they have tried everything non lethal

6:01 am

Eva

I'm curious about how women are supposed to pee on trees?

6:02 am

Eva

do possums have any natural predators? I helped raise two orphans once, at a zoo. They are fascinating, but only a mother could love them.

6:02 am

carleekat

how is this grid all?...I am looking and no "s" and my first word was a 3 pronged "fork" of sorts...yikes..am worried

Greetings from the film-type person!!!!!

6:02 am

6:04 am

Haz1558

The 10 works off the 8 - happening at the same time

6:04 am

Eva

you must have more projectile equipment than mine. I think I'd just end up wet. The Shake Away critter urine is a lot easier. Also, I'm not sure the deer would be particularly intimidated by human pee.

6:04 am

Eva

Morning 6a. Are you in the city or country?

6:05 am

bichon

what about human sweat

6:05 am

BabbleRabble

he got involved with a "skinhead" gang in prison, who are now mad at him for talking with media about the gang. he was interviewed on msnbc (I think).. my hubby saw the interview.

6:43 am

doxy1lover

he was a very nice looking man

6:43 am

6:45 am

doxy1lover

actually, when they caught up with him at the Arby's on of the cops did shoot. They are investigating that, because the gun was brought out by someone in the resteraunt who wrestled the gun away from him and got stabbed in the process.

7:34 am

Lizsark

Carlee - look what I just found - Sarnia is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada (city population 71,419, census area population 88,793, in 2006). It is the largest city on Lake Huron and is located where the three upper Great Lakes empty into the St. Clair River.

The city's natural harbour first attracted the French explorer La Salle, who named the site "The Rapids". The name "Sarnia" was the Latin name for Guernsey in the Channel Islands just off the coast of Normandy, France.

7:34 am

doxy1lover

god, long story long and short is, it was a step parent adoption and I got him at age 5 he was in another state when he was taken away from his bio mom due to neglect. My husband previously had to go to court for three years before he could get parental rights. By the time I got him he was a lost cause.

9:53 am

Tecnogrrl

9:54 am

MonkeyMind

Good morning Stid! Strangest thing happened just now when I first reached for my laptop on waking. Still half asleep I turned to Firefox where I had Jilli's account open from a long time ago wj=hen we were shring a game--I'd forgotten all about that (usuually open on internet explorer) so when I got all exited to see you there I yelled a greeting which you must have thought came from her. Sorry about that. It was I! I've deleted the rogue grid now. And firefox.

10:01 am

Tecnogrrl

I was living in Springfield, but recently moved to just north of Oakland, OR

10:12 am

toadandtoadette

where is Oakland? I've never heard of that place. And I've lived in Oregon for 20 years before moving out of state

10:12 am

toadandtoadette

I know where Springfield is. I grew up in Canby

10:13 am

mrpresident

ok, done!

time for bed, it is after 1.00am! good lord! night all

10:13 am

Tecnogrrl

Oakland is about 25 miles north of Roseburg, and we are 15 miles north of Oakland, 15 miles south of Yoncalla, out in the middle of nowhere

10:13 am

Atalante

I'm going to move to Astoria one day

10:14 am

Tecnogrrl

see you MRP!

10:14 am

toadandtoadette

okay. I know the general area

10:14 am

toadandtoadette

Astoria is nice. Floods alot there though

10:14 am

Atalante

my best friend lives there

10:14 am

Tecnogrrl

why Astoria, Atalante?

10:15 am

Tecnogrrl

floods alot there, and is cold and foggy even most of the summer

10:15 am

Atalante

best friend lives there and i'm feeling more and more too far away from her

10:15 am

toadandtoadette

its only cold and foggy because it is the OR coast. its a nice place though

10:16 am

Atalante

it was gorgeous there in may LOL

10:16 am

Wyrd

i live on the oregon coast, i love it!

10:16 am

toadandtoadette

I miss it so much

10:17 am

Tecnogrrl

Hi Wyrd! You are south though, it is a little warmer there

10:17 am

Wyrd

probably a bit Tecnogrrl

10:17 am

Wyrd

not so much wind

10:18 am

Tecnogrrl

you actually on the coast Wyrd, or in the bay?

10:18 am

toadandtoadette

we usually go to Lincoln City/Newport area for vacations

10:18 am

Wyrd

im on the coast...coos bay

10:18 am

Wyrd

lived within the site of the ocean/bay most my life

10:19 am

Wyrd

i cant sleep without hearing the whistle bouy or sea lions!

10:19 am

Tecnogrrl

sounds nice wyrd, I've always been drawn to water

10:20 am

Wyrd

yeah i have to have my water too Tecnogrrl

10:20 am

Atalante

me too

10:21 am

Tecnogrrl

I have a big pond in my yard : )

10:21 am

Tecnogrrl

but go to the Umpqua about once a week to fish

10:21 am

Wyrd

ooo..love ponds

10:21 am

Tecnogrrl

it's starting to empty as the summer dries it up

10:23 am

Wyrd

no pond here yet, would only have room for a small one, but i do have thousands of plants

10:23 am

Tecnogrrl

we have 5 acres, the pond is about 1/2 acre, in winter it can go to an acre

10:24 am

Wyrd

im thinking of all the water plants i could stick in that

10:24 am

Tecnogrrl

I was looking for water plants the other day, then was told some of them multiply and take over things so didn't get any yet

10:25 am

Tecnogrrl

was thinking of putting them in in weighted down pots now

10:25 am

Wyrd

sure, but you can rip them out occasionally or contain them

10:26 am

Wyrd

papyrus, water lillies..yum!

10:26 am

Tecnogrrl

do water lillies multiply?

10:27 am

Wyrd

yes, but fairly slowly

10:27 am

Tecnogrrl

hmm, that may be an idea. We have a big bullfrog, haven't seen him, but he's loud

10:28 am

Wyrd

plants protect and attract the animals, do you have fish?

10:28 am

Tecnogrrl

no fish, this is our 1st summer here, and not sure if it goes completely dry or not

10:29 am

Wyrd

right, that would be important to know

10:29 am

Tecnogrrl

did everyone go and leave us alone, wyrd?

10:29 am

Wyrd

maybe i bored them with all my plant talk ;)

10:30 am

Tecnogrrl

I doubt that!

10:30 am

toadandtoadette

lol no

10:31 am

Tecnogrrl

you fascinated them all and they are speechless

10:31 am

Wyrd

right, thats it!

10:31 am

Jayde287

We're here - just working on this enormous puzzle!!

10:32 am

Tecnogrrl

hi Jayde!

10:32 am

Jayde287

Hi:)

10:33 am

Jayde287

I doubt that I will finish this

10:33 am

Tecnogrrl

Wyrd, overcast there today?

10:33 am

Jayde287

65 down, 248 to go!

10:33 am

Wyrd

yes it is Tec, sprinkled this morning

10:33 am

Tecnogrrl

I am about 55 miles directly east

10:33 am

Wyrd

yesterday was hot and muggy though

10:34 am

Wyrd

thats not far Tecnogrrl

10:34 am

Tecnogrrl

that's what I was wondering, supposed to sprinkle here today

10:34 am

Jayde287

Anyone been to Vermont?

10:34 am

Tecnogrrl

no, not too far

10:34 am

Tecnogrrl

drove through vermont once Jayde

10:35 am

Tecnogrrl

If I went 15 miles north and got on hwy 38 I'd end up in Reedsport

10:35 am

Jayde287

It always seems I am the only Vermonter on any forums! Wow! You have, Tecno?

10:35 am

Fiber Art

Hi, Wyrd, I just spent three days in Charleston, outside of Coos Bay

10:36 am

Wyrd

Charleston is my home town, i love it there

10:36 am

Tecnogrrl

I lived in Northern PA for a while and we used to go for long weekends

10:36 am

Jayde287

Ahh...where'd you go?

10:36 am

Tecnogrrl

Hi fiber!

10:36 am

Fiber Art

It's a real town, and in such a pretty area

10:36 am

Fiber Art

Hi, fiber!

10:36 am

Fiber Art

I mean, Hi, Tecnogrrl!

10:37 am

Wyrd

Charleston is really the jewel of coos bay, and dont forget to visit the falls up the river sometime too

10:37 am

Fiber Art

I hope to get back to Oregon someday. We loved it

10:37 am

Wyrd

well im glad you had a good time Fiber Art

10:38 am

Tecnogrrl

jayde, used to go through there on the way to augusta maine

10:38 am

Jayde287

Oh....

10:38 am

Jayde287

Glad to hear you've been through here. Most people don't even think it's a state!

10:38 am

Tecnogrrl

could have taken the coastal route, but adirondacks are so pretty

10:39 am

Tecnogrrl

that's weird, as far as east coast states go, it's a fairly large one

10:40 am

Jayde287

I know!:) But I couldn't count how many times I've been asked : "You're from Vermont? What state is that in?"

10:40 am

eSeamus

I know your pain, Jayde. I cringe every time someone asks, "Connecticut? Where's that?"

10:41 am

Jayde287

Really?:) LOL

10:41 am

Takuma Sato

hi guys. holy moly -- two huge ones in a row!

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

which c?

10:50 am

Haz1558

ci6/24 - ci and an anagram of the delicate, though holey material.

10:51 am

pabtrek

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

would someone be so kind as to list the r's? not clue them, just list them.

10:51 am

11:44 am

Aloyisius

one of these days I hope to get to Vancouver.. I here about how beautiful it is there

11:44 am

riemann

Point out that ALL math is pounding your head into a wall until something gives.

11:44 am

flosey

it is aloy, but if you get that far you also have to come to Salt Spring Island

11:44 am

stidmama

that was my thought too -- trying to think how we will spice up 6th grade math to make it interesting...

11:44 am

Aloyisius

*hear that is... gheez, I can't spell!

11:44 am

stidmama

LOL no wonder I always get headaches when I do math!

11:45 am

riemann

Chili powder can spice up anything

11:45 am

stidmama

11:46 am

Aloyisius

I'll write that down, flosey... my bro has a place in Whistler, so eventually I will be in the area... sounds super, stid!

11:46 am

stidmama

11:47 am

stidmama

11:47 am

stidmama

ferries, Aloyisius, but it's so gorgeous that the ride is fun!

11:47 am

stidmama

11:48 am

Aloyisius
