I made it. I think.
1:20 am

hi stid!
1:20 am
flosey
hi there stid
1:20 am
jillibus
so what have you been doing today, stid?
1:20 am
stidmama
Meeting over, just one small day trip to Mt. Rainier (was hoping to NOT have to drive, but apparently must), and then I DON'T have to do anything on Saturday or Sunday.
1:21 am
stidmama
I have spent more than 50 hours working this week. since Monday. And at least 16 hours last weekend.
1:21 am
stidmama
I HATE coordinating meetings. VERY HORRIBLE and ICKY. *yuck face*
1:21 am
jillibus
what meeting?
1:22 am
stidmama
the STUUUUUPID-DUM PHAGE MEETING I HAVE BEEN WORRYING ABOUT FOR MONTHS!
1:22 am
stidmama
*blush* sorry, didn't mean to yell. got caps lock on in error.
1:22 am
jillibus
well, it's over now, right?
1:23 am
stidmama
160-people plus. with "minor" problems like the boiler at the college turning off last night, and so no one had hot water for their showers this morning.
1:24 am
stidmama
I now have a reputation (well earned) for NOT letting details slide. and insisting that other peoples' contractual obligations be met. no excuses...
1:24 am
jillibus
wow, big meeting -- why you (other than on behalf of stidkid #1)?
1:25 am
stidmama
Actually, Jill -- now I have to send out the addenda and correctionsl organize what I know of the finances and extricate myself from the paperwork. I am officially unemployed again after next week. the 20th, in fact.
1:25 am
stidmama
And I did it because I am a friend of the meeting's main convener.
1:26 am
stidmama
and because I am NOT smart enough to say "no"
1:26 am
jillibus
you're taking on too much, stid *wagging finger*
1:26 am
stidmama
Not anymore, Jill! LOL
1:27 am
stidmama
I really enjoyed one aspect, though -- meeting all the wonderful new people from all over the world. I now have a friend from India and two younger scientists from Moscow who will write to me a little bit.
1:27 am
stidmama
how about yourself, jill? did the rain squalls catch you up north today? We had a regular monsoon-style rain at about 7 this evening.
1:28 am
stidmama
and I am not playing this grid, btw.
1:28 am

hi girlies

stidmama
or is it aussie-texan? originally from Victoria, now in San Antonio
1:28 am
mrpresident
oh who???
1:29 am
jillibus
stid, this is a nice grid
1:29 am
mrpresident
oh fabulous stid! they will be wonderful hosts then, as the southern hospitality suits the aussie hospitality too
1:29 am
stidmama
Her name is Julie Thomas and she has a daughter. Julie is AMAZING! and very very smart *dumb mama look* but also nice. I liked what I understood of her talk about introns and proteins today.
1:30 am
stidmama
I don't have time, Jill -- just wanted to give you personally an update on my *limited* mental status.
1:31 am
stidmama
anyway, off to get a few hours' sleep before I zip back to the college to drive the van to the mountain. I am really looking forward to Saturday morning's sleeping in!
1:31 am
stidmama
(((((((EVERYONE))))))) see you-all very very soon!
1:32 am
flosey
falling asleep here, 15 to go and they'll wait for morning, goodnight all

2:08 am
westford
I looked. I always look at your icon pix
2:09 am
jillibus

2:09 am
westford

2:09 am
westford
mine was in Cornwall
2:15 am
westford

2:21 am

2:21 am
westford
ok looking
2:22 am
westford
I like that very quaint
2:22 am
westford
were they common?
2:23 am
westford
or should I say 'are they' ?
2:24 am
jillibus
still are, west -- I think
2:25 am
jillibus
weirdness happened here -- did it for you tooo?
2:25 am
westford
no everything is working what happened?
2:27 am
jillibus
my post stalled, then the timer said "less than one minute left" -- I waited a bit, then refreshed, all was blank, finally came back normally, 21+ hours left
2:28 am
westford
that must have taken you back I know the time passes quickly but that was too quick lol
2:29 am
jillibus
as you can see, my "still are..." took a minute to arrive after you said "are they common?"
2:30 am
westford
I got a strange message earlier from babanon while I was trying to get bab's list
2:30 am
westford
couldn't enter at all
2:31 am
jillibus
there must be gremlins around
2:31 am

2:32 am
jillibus

2:32 am
westford
no I'm trying not to let devices rule my life
2:33 am
jillibus
just desires, eh?
2:33 am
westford
I quit face book and not sure I'll even stay on my space
2:34 am
jillibus
I'm on FB for Lexulous and to keep up with my uncommunicative family's doings
2:35 am
westford
that's why I joined FB originally but they don't answer anyway lol
2:35 am
jillibus
I get to look at their photos, lol!
2:35 am
westford
I may join again lexulous seems fun
2:36 am
westford
there is that photos I mean but I've just asked them to email them to me
2:36 am
jillibus
I just joined the Babblers Worldwide group there
2:37 am
westford
so did I but nothing happened
2:37 am
westford
herin set me up
2:37 am
jillibus
re photos -- I get to see ones other people take -- the family is at Tadoussac, Quebec for July and August and some great photos have been posted
2:38 am
westford
that's really nice why aren't you there with them?
2:38 am
jillibus
long story
2:39 am
westford
I've seen your pix and write ups and it seems like the perfect place
2:39 am
westford
isn't that where you met your husband?
2:39 am
jillibus
their house is full of their friends all summer
2:40 am
westford
such fun though my friend's grandparents had a big house in Middletown ( Newport ) and it was always filled
2:41 am
jillibus
yes, I met him there when I was working at the hotel. His family has a house there too -- full of his sisters' families. I could stay there in August and nearly went this year for a bit but it got too complicated. The travelling is onerous.
2:41 am
westford
after the last of the aunt's died the kids sold it ( dumb them )
2:42 am
westford
travel is not my favorite thing to do any more
2:42 am
jillibus
I haven't been there since 1995, with hubby.
2:42 am
westford
you have nice memories I'm sure
2:43 am
westford
and besides you live in such a beautiful place
2:43 am
jillibus
yes again -- so why leave it!
2:44 am
westford

a perfect Spring day...but cold now
3:17 am
Andree
going to be 24C tomorrow and 30C sunday, we haven't had much of a winter
3:18 am
lynxxx
Our weather has not been as warm as that. Usually mid teens. We even had some rain early this week. Our dam levels have climbed - to a (not) impressive 27.5%
3:20 am
Andree
its been cold morning and night but otherwise its beautiful, I wish i had a crystal ball as I would love to get my tomatoes in but fear a frost
3:22 am
lynxxx
It's going to be an awful awful summer. Drought, El Nino, no water for gardens, bushfires and heat
3:23 am
Andree
hope not, i love summer
3:24 am
lynxxx
Think you might be in the right state for a good one
3:25 am
Andree
our dams are at a healthy level now and we are able to water every day, which is a welcome change
3:27 am
lynxxx
Funny, we have been on restrictions for so long now can't remember when we weren't. Currently twice a week between 6-8 am. Next stage, no water for gardens at all
3:30 am
Andree
thats terrible, makes it so hard to keep a garden, i only water my pots and my veggie garden, would hate to have that taken from me
3:34 am

3:43 am
P.J.
The camper is just right for a couple or one person. It is very easy to handle and has every thing you need in it. My little dog<Abby> and I hook it up and go.
3:52 am
P.J.
are you on face book? Flask is and we chat all of the time. It's fun.
3:53 am

Oh? Is this something new you're trying? :p
4:55 am
Haz1558
Yes, a new direction in life. Just call me Mrs Optimistic.
4:56 am
LoriP
Wow. I'll stick with the sure thing (negativity) if it's all the same to you. I like predictability.
4:57 am
Haz1558
But Lori, you'll miss out on going through life with a fixed grin.
4:58 am
LoriP
Awww. That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, because my smile looks like an artificial Botox perma-smile.
4:59 am
Haz1558
Fair enough. It's quiet around here today, isn't it?
5:00 am

I guess! Must be a very studious group this morn.

That'll be it. This is the intellectual hour.

Can I stay in spite of that?

Yes indeed. There has to be an exception to prove the rule.

Phew! I was worried there for a second.
5:05 am
Haz1558
I'm going to leave you on your own - must get some things done. Will you be okay?

9:45 am
rururocks
What would be the answer between the choice between eating or sex?
9:46 am
72 Temple Owl
i have heard the majority woudl say eating. but it hink it depends.
9:46 am
rururocks
I could alternate the two I think...
9:47 am
FMitch
eating of course. Or am I being to analytical - if you don't eat you cant do anything else?
9:50 am
72 Temple Owl
welllet's be practical. you can get food at the supermarket. although i have heard from some aussie friends that their local supermarket has singles nights. great idea!
9:51 am
LuvWordGames
ne 5/10 sounds like a bank robbery but change the h to an n
9:53 am

9:54 am
72 Temple Owl
when i was shopping in whole foods in weehawkin across river from nyc there were so many good looking men i could not believe it. much better looking than those on the dating sites i have visited.
9:55 am
FMitch
hat do you think of dating websites?
9:56 am
72 Temple Owl
they scare me but yo can't argue with success. i've met sucesses.
9:57 am
FMitch

We have a friend from Toronto who met a gal from Victoria through a dating program, came out, met her in person, married her and they're very happy
9:58 am
72 Temple Owl
yes. about 55 to 65 is the dead zone.
9:59 am
flosey

9:59 am

Lovely flosey, there are lots of people who do manage to find a mate via the web but few and far between.

10:01 am
flosey
I agree FM, it's all too dicey
10:03 am
FMitch
Have to say I have met some interesting chaps via the net in the UK and the States but none I would have ever settled down with but fun for a couple of dates.
10:04 am
72 Temple Owl
ok now i do not want to sound shallow although i will. i am in shape told i do not look my age and would like someone around my age with shared cultural references. but most want someone younger. even if they have big beer bellies and look 70

10:15 am

oops sorry I was looking at the TV!
10:15 am

No, I have been readkign with interest. The Detroit Symphony sponsors a singles group, dinner and concert for a fee. Join a group which shares your interest. I was a volunteer usher for 25 years and witnessed three successful marriages between ushers.]\
10:16 am
72 Temple Owl
inge i know what you mean. that is very good advice.
10:17 am
FMitch
I guess it is a case of getting out there and meeting real people. Not that I am either ready or looking for that now.
10:18 am
72 Temple Owl
{{{{fm}}}} i said the same but if i had gone out there immediately i would have been out of the zone!
10:19 am
FMitch
Oh in which case you can test the waters and give me feedback then LOL
10:20 am
72 Temple Owl
no i am saying i should not have dragged my feet. you have to kiss a lot of toads so to speak.
10:20 am
wildcat17
it does work ... but you have to be patient and not expect to meet someone right away
10:21 am
FMitch
Sorry, I am so off the dating scale I can't even understand the chat!
10:21 am
wildcat17
and you may have to participate in more than one group
10:22 am
72 Temple Owl
lol i mean you have to kiss a lot of toads before you find your prince
10:22 am
FMitch
It's only been a year since B died so I guess i have a way to go yet :)

10:24 am
72 Temple Owl

10:24 am
wildcat17
aww TO :(
10:25 am
FMitch
Absolutely willd. Have so many things I want to do and who knows what the future hold.
TO - I can happily imagine not being in a relationship again, it doesn't scare me at all, it would be nice it at some point it happened but if it doesn't I am not going to worry about it.
10:25 am
wildcat17
I thought that at one point, and it took almost 4 years for me to even think about going out again, but I finally did it and I met the man I've been with for over a year
10:26 am
wildcat17
great attitude fm
10:26 am

Frankly one divorce and one death is enough emotion to handle.

Hugs to both of you.
10:29 am
72 Temple Owl
part of the issue is that marriage was excluive, i.e. no friends or other couples to socialize with, just each other. he had no friends and would not do anything with my work mates
10:29 am
wildcat17
that's suffocating
10:29 am

8:51 pm
jmcnrick
at least as good as mine red
8:52 pm

8:53 pm
jmcnrick
I took a two week vacation and volunteered at leal services in New Orleans last year
8:53 pm
jmcnrick
that is my idea of a break
8:53 pm
redturtlehead

8:53 pm
jmcnrick
fret fret fret fret fret
8:53 pm
jmcnrick
that cost money red

fret fret fret fret fret fret
8:54 pm

8:55 pm
jmcnrick
well that's a thought red good idea
8:55 pm
jmcnrick
*taking a breath*
8:55 pm
redturtlehead
but you know, doing something totally different might be a grand time. Like working with kids to read or do math better.
8:56 pm
jmcnrick
*glancing at grid*
8:56 pm
jmcnrick
that is another idea red

9:23 pm
Trifioso
well hey there ladies! we are becoming a regular club here, aren't we??
9:23 pm
dcseain
from an NPO/NGC, sometimes but not always
9:23 pm
dcseain
sometimes sabbatical=layoff
9:23 pm
jmcnrick
wait what about dc?
9:23 pm
Minveryork
Hi Trigioso! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
9:23 pm
lbdawger
Sabbatical usually means you left on your own and plan to return. laid off means someone else made the choice
9:23 pm
dcseain
evening, trifioso
9:24 pm
Trifioso
jmc, have you ever heard of frances moore lappe?
9:24 pm
lbdawger
it's a nice club to belong to, Trif
9:24 pm
Trifioso
evening min, dc....
9:24 pm
jmcnrick
they are paying me if only there is enough money (NOT!!!)
9:25 pm
lbdawger
is that what's in your contract, Jmc?
9:25 pm
jmcnrick
the Mennonite who wrote Diet for a small planet?
9:26 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm seems more like laid off then
9:26 pm
jmcnrick
I haven't had a written contract for 10 years
9:26 pm
Trifioso
indeed jmc. didn't know the Mennonite part....
9:26 pm
jmcnrick
I am hired from year to year
9:26 pm
lbdawger
with a layoff you can collect unemployment.
9:26 pm
jmcnrick
Good book
9:27 pm
Trifioso
she is hiring, and I have applied...just wondered if you knew anything about her. I didn't, before her listing popped up. interesting woman!
9:27 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm that would be worth looking into but the nonprofit is self insured so unemployment would cost them a fortune
9:27 pm
jmcnrick
go for it Trif!!!
9:28 pm
lbdawger
well, if they paid into unemployment, the money is already there.
9:28 pm
lbdawger
cool, trif. what would you be doing for her?
9:29 pm
Trifioso
working with the manuscript of her next book, I think.
9:29 pm
jmcnrick
well the thing about nonprofits is that they only have to pay when the money is tapped
9:29 pm
lbdawger
proofing and editing or typing?
9:29 pm
jmcnrick
that is sooooo cool trif
9:29 pm
Trifioso
looking for work is so hellish. people stop at "re-entering the workforce" and don't even give me a chance. sigh
9:29 pm
Trifioso
not sure lbd. little of all, I think
9:30 pm
lbdawger
i'll keep you in my prayers, Trif. finding work in this economy is almost like finding hens teeth
9:31 pm
Trifioso
thanks lbd. I really don't want to just get some crap retail job...
9:31 pm
jmcnrick
so take the phrase "reentering the work force" out of your resume and letter
9:32 pm
Trifioso
it's not in there in those words, jmc, but it is pretty obvious that I have not worked for pay in 12 years....all the recent stuff is volunteer only
9:32 pm
jmcnrick
I have hired at least 100 people and I will tell you that the trick isto get me to meet you
9:32 pm
lbdawger
i know all about crap retail. mostly crappy managers.
9:32 pm
jmcnrick
then reconfigure the resume so I am not looking at the diereence between paid and upaid
9:33 pm
Trifioso
what gets them in to see you, jmc?
9:33 pm
lbdawger
word your resume as work experience. doesn't have to be for pay.
9:33 pm
jmcnrick
i know i nkow pb for me *grum ble*
9:33 pm
jmcnrick
exactly lbd
9:33 pm
jmcnrick
nibbling on pb chocolate
9:34 pm
Trifioso
I will definitely look at the wording, thanks!!!
9:34 pm
lbdawger
Trif, you can send me your resume, I'll chop it and let you know where you need to reword and refine it.
9:34 pm
dcseain
oh, duh Opel is the car co
9:34 pm
Trifioso
seriously, though, jmc - what catches your eye, gets someone in to see you?
9:34 pm
jmcnrick
The first thing is dont make the resume too long
9:34 pm
jmcnrick
I never read more than one page
9:34 pm
Trifioso
thanks lbd!
9:34 pm
Trifioso
okay, one page, check.
9:35 pm
jmcnrick
I hate resumes that are more than one page -- especially professional housewifes
9:35 pm
lbdawger
used to do this in my former life, actually in several past lifes.
9:35 pm
Trifioso
lbd, are we facebook friends?
9:35 pm
jmcnrick
second make sure the paper is quality -- Iknow that sound elitist but the rallity is that is stands out
9:35 pm
salmocreston1
stuck on my last word. ex5-22. I can't see it for looking. Help please
9:36 pm
lbdawger
Most companies don't want more than one page resumes. I have a 5 page curriculum vitae which i chop down to the bare necessities for a resume
9:36 pm
Trifioso

9:36 pm

Speaking of which, I wandered up the garden in my nightie and dressing gown yesterday morning, cradling my big morning cup of tea, to find Beloved up there sunbathing au naturelle in front of our young fig tree. 'You might need one of those leaves shortly if your daughter wakes up and comes up here,' I said. 'I'm not boasting,' said he, 'but I don't think any of the leaves are big enough. I spat my tea all over the place! I do love him. He makes me genuinely LOL at least once a day.
10:03 pm
jmcnrick
a man that makes you laugh is worth the moon
10:03 pm
Minveryork

Everything's down to costing these days, Herin. Maybe that's why neither the police or the child protection agency hadn't bothered to find out where my stepdaughter is living right now, even though they 'phoned her mobile on Friday to tell her the result of her Mum's boyfriend's court case.

cross - it is hard to cut down on plastic consumption since most supermarkets insist on putting stuff in plastic trays or polystrene. If you have a local butcher, go there - less packaging.

Crossy - not sure what the situation is there in Canada, but, here in UK, I find shopping locally for fresh and local produce is not only cheaper but also cuts down on packaging.
