rubyfoo

good morning everybody! Only have a couple of minutes before lunch.

4:30 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo

4:31 am

rubyfoo

hello sprite, sunshine and cold!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

but at least there is still some fruit and little tomatoes. However, all the figs fell off without ripening, second time this summer. Wrong weather and too far north, I guess

4:32 am

sprite

normal temps for this time of year here, no rain today, white clouds in a blue sky

4:32 am

sprite

probably, figs love warmth. My tiny tomatoes are finally ripening, but I think it is too late for them.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

I had a lot of tomatoes this year but some years don't get any

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I planted the fig tree in the most protected south-facing part of the garden, but the weather has been off-and-on too cold, I think

4:33 am

sprite

am still trying to learn how to 'farm' a little bit. The only things that really worked this year were the strawberries and the potatoes.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

from one small cherry tomato plant, I've had 100's. From the bigger plants, many, but finished now

4:34 am

rubyfoo

I planted strawberries for the first time this year, put in 12 tiny plants which seem to have "taken" but won't know 'til next year

4:34 am

sprite

yeah. Well, I guess I will learn. Maybe next year the tomatoes in the back yard, for more sun.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

this is my first garden, but it's now 13 yrs old, so it's looking very good. The potager is sort of hidden away, fortunately, as it is the least successful part

4:36 am

rubyfoo

lots of red and black currants, though, in June, and loads of blackberries

4:37 am

sprite

lol, the little bit I try to do is nothing compared to your garden. But it is a lot better than doing nothing. I want onions next year. And lettuce.

4:39 am

rubyfoo

radishes are a good way to start; they happen fast and easily and are much better than what's in the stores

4:39 am

sprite

true, and my love likes eating them. Will keep that in mind as well.

4:39 am

rubyfoo

BTW, when I say "I" planted this or that, that means I pointed where it should go. Not strong enough to do my own digging. LOL

4:39 am

rubyfoo

And squash is lovely and you can eat the flowers

4:40 am

sprite

hehehe and wise enough to let others do the heavy stuff.
I had squash this year, but not a single fruit. Beautiful flowers though.

4:40 am

rubyfoo

you can use the flowers in tempura

4:41 am

sprite

let me think... in a coat of something and then into hot oil?

4:42 am

sprite

battered

4:42 am

rubyfoo

yes, w2ith slices of onion and sweet potato and shrimp (if you can get them)

4:43 am

rubyfoo

I've never made it because husband doesn't eat anything fried, but I love it in restaurants!

4:43 am

sprite

will remember that too, sounds good.

4:43 am

rubyfoo

must go now, see you later

4:43 am

rubyfoo

4:43 am

sprite

bye rubyfoo, enjoy lunch!

4:44 am

rubyfoo

also sliced squash and string beans -- almost any veg!

Esprite I may have missed something so blessings be

6:13 am

Anniebrook

Jean, Yes, it will be. It stays with you all the time but believe me it does not better. It does not completely leave but it does ease up.

6:14 am

Anniebrook

I meant it does get better.

6:14 am

EspritdJean

Herein one of my brothers committed suicide last week

6:15 am

the grief passes slowly,but them something happens over time,any anger,any bad times with him melt away till only the loving memories remain .one day in the future you will find yourself telling someone a funny or interesting story about him.you will tell his children about him and his exploits as a child and he will be immortal with with your memories and the love of his boys.till then you are all in my prayers espritjean

6:20 am

EspritdJean

he was actually one of the funniest guys ever, he is already legendary for this

6:23 am

EspritdJean

he was known for his wacky emails and for keeping people past and present connected.I thought the LEAST he could have done would have been to set up an "auto email" selection so we would continue to get things from him

6:23 am

EspritdJean

there is such a huge hole now

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Esprit if you don't mind me asking how old was he and did he have kids and a wife and all that

6:24 am

EspritdJean

he was 57, (bitterly) divorced for 10 years, two sons in their late 20's

6:24 am

herinfernallady

So sad

6:24 am

herinfernallady

Hi Crossy

6:24 am

EspritdJean

probably the only one he ever hated in his life was the ex-wife who cheated on him and blindsided him with the divorce

6:25 am

Anniebrook

then I hope his ex never has a good night's sleep from now on

6:25 am

crosshair

howdy herin

6:25 am

EspritdJean

he even made mention in his note that she was to be barred from any final proceedings

6:25 am

Anniebrook

hi crossy, well said

6:25 am

crosshair

howdy annie

6:26 am

EspritdJean

I don't think his ex has anything resembling a conscience

6:26 am

EspritdJean

but there other mitigating factors

6:26 am

EspritdJean

like the family curse of depression

6:30 am

herinfernallady

Esprit hugs

6:30 am

EspritdJean

ty, hugs are good for a body

***The only way I'm huggin' ya' is if 'yer NOT nekkid.***

6:32 am

EspritdJean

I'm wearing a t-shirt

Good Morning Babblers :)

You and yours have been dealt some wild cards this past week, I've been reading. Your attitude will get ya' through, and the kids will regroup after the shock passes.

herinfernallady

HI Nono

6:36 am

LoriP

What can ya' say really? It's a given that everyone here feels for all of you. Your brother made a decision he felt was right. Long as everyone doesn't look for an answer they'll never get "why", the healing wil go at the right speed for them. Sounds good if you say it fast though....

6:36 am

Anniebrook

Hi Lori and Nono

6:36 am

LoriP

Annie of Brooklyn! Nono! ***lurkers everywhere....***

6:37 am

herinfernallady

Esprit I have been very busy hence not knowing till tongiht

6:38 am

LoriP

***the bunny slippers were a nice touch esprit***

6:38 am

Anniebrook

Lori, well said too. We try to make it easier but it does have to go at its own speed. Takes a long long time.

6:40 am

LoriP

Yep. I've actually dealt with a friend who just said her Sister 'passed away'. Of course it wasn't that a't'all. It was suicide. Very fear inducing word.

6:42 am

LoriP

Down to 16 words, and more barren than my savings account. Perhaps more coffee.....

6:42 am

NonoNanette

it is indeed Lori and many avoid admitting that it happened to a love one, but facing it head on the way Jean has so far will be beneficial

6:44 am

EspritdJean

hiding it would only make it worse I think

6:45 am

herinfernallady

Esprit: http://dailysquee.com/ IN case you need cute animals for squeeing at

6:45 am

NonoNanette

absolutely Jean, facing the fact can only help the healing process

6:45 am

LoriP

That'd be my thought too, but maybe for some they need more time process.

6:46 am

EspritdJean

he even wrote his own obit

6:48 am

NonoNanette

he must have thought about this for some time Jean, and knew how painful it would be for all of you and tried to ease that pain as much as he could

6:48 am

LoriP

He clearly put a lot of thought in to it, not entered in to lightly (on the face of it). Although I totally agree with you it was thoughtless not to set an auto send feature for y'all. Musta' forgot that..... :)

6:49 am

EspritdJean

yes he did. he called 911 immediately before and hung up, knowing they would respond immediately and prevent being found by a family member

6:49 am

LoriP

Til you walk in someone's shoes, who knows. Every day your feet hit the floor is a good day, and you should enjoy every person and every moment. For some, that is just too much for too long.

6:51 am

NonoNanette

I truely am so sad for your loss. I don't know what else to say other than you and your entire family will remain in my prayers

6:52 am

EspritdJean

I do believe he is in a place of healing now, it just feels so sad to know the anguish he was in before that

6:53 am

LoriP

***hands Esprit a pair of shorts and gives a wee tiny hug again***

8:15 am

Boobear

I don't know Yiddish

8:15 am

Michnick

Also shas

8:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

A shanda is a shame , but in Yiddish it's a worse kind of shame.

8:15 am

herinfernallady

Can someone tell me why I do this watch medical shows and get grossed out

8:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

found* and lost my literacy.....

12:21 pm

zoozzoom

Yes there was some excellent fossils on the sites.

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

I was able to solve husband's birthday, just like that!

12:22 pm

zoozzoom

I am sure he will be very pleased with his present :-)

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

otherwise I would have had to go to visit Crossy

12:22 pm

zoozzoom

of course, if he does not, i will have it..lol

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

there are probably fossils in the creeks around here, but there is no way I can go fossil-hunting

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

you're on, zzoozz. I've given him many different fossils, so he has a nice collection without knowing what any of them are.....hahah

12:25 pm

crosshair

we are very lucky here,we have a good fossil bed just up the road

12:25 pm

zoozzoom

Wonderful, what a great gift, a lucky man indeed.

12:25 pm

crosshair

12:25 pm

crosshair

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

I wish, crossy!

12:26 pm

zoozzoom

We have a good source of fossils here, but i would not know how to get the rock out without damaging the fossils.

12:26 pm

crosshair

all you need is a old dull chisel and a rubber mallet

12:26 pm

crosshair

it is all shale here

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

crossy told us yesterday, screwdriver and gentle rubber mallet

12:27 pm

crosshair

and patience..and lots of time

12:28 pm

zoozzoom

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

the only fossil I ever found was a beautiful big (the size of a fist) ammonite, high up in the southern French Alps

12:28 pm

crosshair

lol zooz,you have to pry the layers apart,not shatter them

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

and it was just lying there

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

zzoozz, like fishing with TNT

12:28 pm

crosshair

what i like are bugs and things in amber

12:29 pm

zoozzoom

wonderful Ruby, i only find bits of them.

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

I have a beautiful amber necklace and earrings but the insects are VERY small

12:29 pm

zoozzoom

i have some of those Crossy, Baltic amber with bugs...but they are very small pieces.

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

I've also bought him geodes, but they were already polished

12:30 pm

crosshair

entire untouched geodes are a hard find

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

when I lived in Miami, I collected shells and had a Korean medicine chest with many drawers in which I hd the sorted-out shells

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

how does one know it's not just a round rock?

12:31 pm

crosshair

there are indicators i am told,but i am not a rock hound and do not know what they are

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

if I had it all to do over, I would either be a geologist or an entomolgist

12:32 pm

crosshair

like where they are found and the surrounding rock/soil etc

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

definitely missed my calling(s)

12:32 pm

crosshair

i love the antiques and the hunting of them,thats where my calling is

12:32 pm

zoozzoom

same here Ruby.

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

unfortunately, we don't get to do "do-overs"!

12:34 pm

crosshair

i am still hopeful to get this book store going,but many things will have to come together

12:34 pm

crosshair

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

I type faster than I write

12:38 pm

zoozzoom

12:38 pm

crosshair

my writing looks like a chicken walked through some ink and stumbled across a page of paper before dying a horrible death

12:39 pm

zoozzoom

LOL, snap Crossy, glad i am not the only one then :-)

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

my handwriting and drawing were both excellent, but eyes aren't good enough anymore

12:42 pm

zoozzoom

LOL

12:42 pm

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

not* losing it, I fear

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

I'm always afraid my son or nephew will pop in

1:26 pm

lexophile

fossils would be a fabulous present for me... clever of you, ruby ... does your hubby have a particular interest in them?

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

giving somebody nay is a funny idea, non?

1:27 pm

Soodlebum

George - I was already alerted to that particular episode!!!!! (Note excessive use of exclamation marks.....)

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

an interest I've created. I find them all over the place -- auctions, stores, online, on trips

1:27 pm

jacq

yup, i was caught nicely by my boss last week, we were doing a deep clean on an elderly gentlemans home and i touched a spider, jumped and banged my head ona door handle and swore just as she walked in

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

I can't get him anything else. I bought him a gorgeous Aran sweater and he never wears it, saving itperhaps.... he's 85!

1:28 pm

jacq

lol ruby

1:28 pm

Soodlebum

Just thinking about Ruby & her DH. He buys her flowers ( a rose for a rose) and she buys him fossils........

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

jessmom

That's okay, soodle. Now if he bought her a female puppy, I'd be worried...

1:30 pm

lexophile

I hate to buy presents for my hubby -- he's impossible! buys everything he wants for himself... leaves nothing for me to get him

1:30 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

did it give you a good laugh, eyeroll and headshake, Soodle? funny, eh? still haven't stopped laughing, ha!

1:30 pm

1:30 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

1:31 pm

rubyfoo

I was thinking of getting him a kitten but 1) he would have it de-clawed (eeeew) and 2) my Ruby might kill it!

1:31 pm

jacq

i have to get a b-day pressie for a man who has everything he needs and wants, asks for nothing but a kiss and argues about me even buying myself a drink when we go out in the car

1:31 pm

rubyfoo

when I was still working, I used to give him fabulous presents but it's much more difficult now that I'm retired. How do you buy somebody presents with mutual money?

1:31 pm

jessmom

my dad would be jealous, crossy. He collects clocks & watches

1:32 pm

peg23

make him a cupon book!

1:32 pm

Soodlebum

A present for a man with everything? Easy! Penicillin!!

1:32 pm

rubyfoo

hahahah

1:32 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

perhaps you should do something nice for the person instead, often means more!

1:32 pm

peg23

like a night out with me! A walk in the park! and then he turns them in when he wants to use them

1:32 pm

lexophile

haha... my hubby's allergic to PCN...

1:32 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

penicillin's a pressie, Soodle? yeah, you've got some odd ideas, you do! ha, ha!!

1:32 pm

rubyfoo

like what? chloroform? rohypnol?

1:33 pm

rubyfoo

you are sweet and romantic, peg

1:33 pm

lexophile

viagra? cialis?

1:33 pm

rubyfoo

soodle and I think alike! I know, I'll give him to Soodle, that will be my present!!!!!!

1:33 pm

peg23

I have done it before. its nice because its not like you are getting them something but you can still share in some amazing moments

1:34 pm

rubyfoo

eeeew, lex!

1:34 pm

Soodlebum

My ex used to only buy me presents he could avail of himself, like weekends away etc. It always reminded me of the time Homer Simpson bought Marge a bowling ball for her birthday!
