2:46 am

too true sprite!!
2:47 am
mrpresident

I have a song that I play in the car as I am driving along when people are coming at me in all directions of my life and peeving me...
It's called "I Don't Care" by Fall Out Boy.
I will put it in my bio
2:47 am

2:47 am

my son and I sit in the car and sing it out loud!!
2:48 am

please do!! it is very good!!
2:50 am

it is loading :)
2:51 am
mrpresident

the chorus is "I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me... the best of us can find happiness in misery!'
2:51 am

you will enjoy it sprite~!
2:52 am

LOL! Oh lovely!

3:03 am

you know, I've been having those impotent dreams for so long. And lately things are looking up... and last night I was in power. SOOO great. And so healing.
3:03 am
mrpresident

my favourite dream was that I did something stupid when parking the car and damaged it... I had to then tell Lickety about it...
I woke up, went down to the garage to see just how much damage there was and .... NADA!! It was so real though!
3:05 am
sprite

oh wow, good dream! Pa4 of my dream was that I saved and healed a tiny tiny baby. From my father! And when he wanted revenge, I faced him, defended myself and the baby and stared him down.
3:06 am
mrpresident

that is very empowering!!
3:06 am
mrpresident

do you have a dream book??
3:06 am
mrpresident

tiny tiny babies denote new souls
3:07 am

fireflies! A smoothie today.
No, I don't have a dream book, I can remember my dreams even years later.
3:07 am
mrpresident

have you retrieved something new for your soul recently?
3:07 am
sprite

do they? Wow, even more meaning. I have the feeling the baby I saved and healed is my inner child.
3:08 am
mrpresident

I have two dream books, will look them up and try and come up with an answer for you next time I see you
3:09 am
sprite

oh nice :)
I have done lots of dreamwork in my coaching training. Would be great to hear some of your experience.
3:09 am
mrpresident

ok, will definitely pull something together... maybe even a couple of interpretations
3:10 am
sprite

aw mrP, it was SO small. When I finally reached it, it was hanging in the fold of the blanket, at the side of the bed. Feverish as hell and totally apathic. It fit almost into one hand.
3:10 am
mrpresident

please send me the dream in email or on message on my facebook
3:11 am
mrpresident

you are on my FB right??
3:11 am
mrpresident

I will look into all the facets of the dream and put together an answer for you.
3:11 am
mrpresident

my email is in my bio
3:11 am
sprite

I think so. Am not a regular FB-er. I think I will do it on email.
MrP, it would be wonderful! But only if you can spare the time and energy.
3:12 am
mrpresident

i can for you sprite :)
3:13 am

that is awfully sweet, mrP, but I really want you to put yourself first (and second and third) because you really need to be good for yourself atm.
3:13 am
mrpresident

sprite, I had an incredible experience last night
3:14 am
mrpresident

I am in the middle of a terrible flu, so so bad I cry when I wake up in the morning cause I am in so much pain.
3:14 am
sprite

you want to tell or rather email?
3:14 am
sprite

ok :)
3:15 am
mrpresident

I was laying on my back... I all of a sudden woke up and arched my back so violently, and felt my heart grasp and restart... it hurt!
3:15 am
mrpresident

please email me, I can then go through each part and comment on it
3:16 am
sprite

I will, thanks so much. But please tell on. What happened next?
3:16 am
mrpresident

I just was very freaked out!! It actually hurt... like my heart had been grabbed and suddenly let go
3:17 am
sprite

sounds very painful and scary :(
3:17 am
sprite

and I am sorry you are in such awful pain. I know how that is and it sucks BIG time.
3:18 am
mrpresident

but, with this nasty flu, i spoke to a man today who said that is a sign of sleep apnea ... and would affect me during a chest infection.
3:19 am
sprite

that sounds very reasonable. It might pay off to have yourself checked for sleep apnea. You can ask crossy, if you have it, it eats up most of your energy and it can actually be dangerous.
3:19 am
mrpresident

you keep on dreaming your dreams, and if you trust my interpretations, let me know about them... I will check back with you.
3:19 am
mrpresident

i will ask crossy
3:20 am
sprite

I will write up the dream, and send it to you. Would very much like to hear what you think of it. And please take your time, ok?
3:21 am
mrpresident

ok sprite :) have to go look at what dinner these children will have... bbs! **hugs**

hmmm...an interesting post just came across my fb...its a very intrigueing question
7:38 am
carleekat

When it comes to separating faith and sport, is a tattoo of a cross any less a religious symbol than a headscarf?
7:40 am
carleekat

( i would think in contact sport...an issue..but in non contact sport....)
7:40 am
lynxxx

It would be more religious in my opinion
7:41 am
MollyL

*Wonders why faith and sport should be seperate*
7:42 am
MollyL

Or separate
7:43 am
carleekat

there is an issue in women's weight lifting...a muslim woman will not wear the weightlifter's "uniform" she is covered... not in a galabeya..just...covered..long yoga pants..and long sleeve tight fitting top with a very tight fitting head scarf... the international competitions say she cannot compete unless she wears the uniform
7:43 am
carleekat

yet... many weight lifters do have tattoos... of crosses etc.... how is that a different expression when her outift does not interfere with the sport itself
7:44 am
carleekat

( that is the background )
7:45 am
carleekat

footballers are allowed to cross themselves...nfl'ers drop down in a small prayer after a touchdown...
7:45 am
MollyL

I'd have to know the reason for why the uniform rule is enforced.
7:45 am
carleekat

just an interesting..question...
7:45 am
lynxxx

surely that is not a religious issue though...just that the competitor is required to wear an 'approved' outfit.
7:45 am

7:48 am

It is interesting to consider all the occupations where people wear their religious headwear - yamulkah etc. Must be hard for employers sometimes to make the decision
7:55 am
MollyL

I think people sometimes have to make a choice between what their religion dictates and what their "wants" dictate. There are reasons RCMP have required headgear.
7:57 am
lynxxx

I think nowadays most employers would defer to the religious requirements
7:59 am

A little off topic, but same vein. San Francisco will [if there isn't a legal challenge] have on the ballot outlawing circumcision on boys under the age of 18. This is religious or otherwise.
8:00 am
cool.girl

hi everyone
8:00 am
lynxxx

wow
8:00 am
MollyL

Bich, that is crazy. Circumcision is a personal choice. The government has no business getting involved in that.
8:01 am
bichon

This is male circumcison we are talking about and I agree Molly. But, what if someone circumcises a girl. that is mutilation.
8:10 am
lynxxx

I don't disagree with circumcism - but a lot happens soon after birth so not a personal choice in the majority of cases
8:11 am
carleekat

in us..govt feels it has the right to get involved in personal choice..ie..abortion
8:11 am
MollyL

Wait, wait...are female infants getting circumcised in California?
8:13 am
lynxxx

good point Carlee - sad
8:14 am
bichon

No, what I meant was, most male circumcision is done for religious or cultural beliefs. It is not harmful to the boy. However, female circumcision is not done in the best interest of the girl, but for the personal feelings of the adults. There has to be a law defining the two. San Francisco entertains lots of weirdos. I think they passed a law that junk food can't be sold in vending machines.
8:15 am
MollyL

I respectfully disagree that most male circumcision is done for religious beliefs. I think it is the "norm" regardless of religious belief.
8:15 am
bichon

There's just too much ambiguity in these issues. Certainly for abortion.
8:15 am
carleekat

i was of the belief that a son should look like father....
8:16 am
carleekat

if the father is...so should the son... so we dont grow up thinking ( early) "why do i look diff from dad...?"
8:16 am
bichon

Actually, when my son was born in 1973, most boys in the US were being circumcised routinely, cleanliness issues. Now, I think that the percentage is much lower.
8:17 am
lynxxx

Our rate has dropped from 60-70% in the 50s and 60s to just over 10% now !
8:18 am
bichon

I agree Carlee. My son is, but their son [my grandson] is not. I've told my son his job is to retract and clean the foreskin and teach Nick how to when he is a bit older. He turned green and other colors.
8:18 am
MollyL

I agree Carlee. Or different from all the other little boys. I did a lot of daycare when my kids were small and I have never seen an uncircumcised male. Child or otherwise.
8:18 am

i have....not to my personal taste

Silver Rocket

I'll offer a boy's point of view - circumcision can reduce a lot of sensitivity in the tip.
8:21 am
carleekat

i have heard that silver..but i have also heard of issues whereas the foreskin does not grow properly to accomadate the natural girth...and thus leads to surgery later in years...
8:22 am
bichon

True, silver. but my hubby had to be circumcised when he was about 5 or 6 because of an overly tight foreskin. Not good. And, AFAIK, Jewish men don't have a problem with sex
8:23 am
bichon

Well, enough of this fascinating subject. Breakfast time
8:23 am

ugh...i russian jew i dated in university... he was born in a city that at the time the soviet union would just export out whole villages to get rid of the jews... anyway....came to canada at the age of 13..and got circumsized then

Hi, back for some more. Done my power walk with the fluffies
10:02 am
Nef

Good Morning, Everybody. Just got NBT and have 10-15 minutes to play and chat. How does one sort Legos, I wonder? *I'm* the grown-up; the kids were to do that when they were young
10:02 am
doseffing


I'm assuming a small child with an inordinate fondness for small bricks ...
10:03 am
MollyL

Oh there were tons of Legos around my house when my kids were small. We never sorted them though. They just lived in one big tub.
10:05 am
Nef

The legos were separated from the Duplos and other small toys with many parts; they were the only things that would fit in their case; so they were kept separate. But then again; it wasn't my job. If the kids didn't do it; they lost the toys
10:05 am
stidmama

We sorted legos by type -- squares, rectangles, single-height, double-height. OR by the kit they belonged to!
10:06 am
stidmama

hey all
10:06 am

12:22 pm

12:22 pm

i have wood, laminate, engineered wood and carpets
12:22 pm

and ceramic tiles
12:23 pm

and Karndean vinyl flooring
12:23 pm
Pinikula

wow ... the whole list!
12:23 pm
Pinikula

do you like any over others?
12:23 pm
Glantarell

all have their benefits and drawbacks
12:24 pm
Glantarell

i wouldn;t have the engineered wood again
12:24 pm
Glantarell

it shrank too much when the heating was on over the winter and we have gaps - but that may have been down to the way my husband laid it :-0
12:24 pm
Pinikula

* making notes *
12:25 pm
Glantarell

I love the solid oak floor in the dining room - I handwash it every couple of months, and vaccuum in between then re-oil once every couple of years
12:26 pm
Glantarell

I love the ceramic tiles, they are hardwearing and easy to clean and if you put underfloor heating under them when you lay them they are lovely and warm underfoot in winter but don;t drop anything breakable on them LOL
12:26 pm

12:26 pm
Glantarell

the Karndean flooring was laid onto a screed in my kitchen 8 years ago, has been easy to clean and very low maintenance and looks like new
12:27 pm
Pinikula

haven't heard of the Karndean...will have to google that one...
12:27 pm
Pinikula

wtg LA :)
12:27 pm
Glantarell

I like my carpets too, but I have gone for high quality 80% wool carpets
12:28 pm
Glantarell

Karndean is a brand name - it comes in tioles or rolls and they put fancy patterns in it when they lay it if you want to - there must be a US version
12:28 pm
Glantarell

It is glued to your floor

Glantarell

It wasn't cheap but I'd buy it again for my next house
12:28 pm
Pinikula

If you've not heard yet, I had a washer hose break in the garage and the spray made it into the kitchen/ dining room ... result ... kitchen, dining room, hallway, and living room floors get new floor coverings...
12:29 pm
Pinikula

trying to figure out what I want
12:29 pm
LeslieAnn

oh yikes.
12:29 pm
Glantarell

oh no, what a pain
12:30 pm
Glantarell

well, the Karndean survived a flood from the toilet (room above) and was under about half an inch of water for several hours a couple of years ago - no sign of any damage

Cork flooring feels good underfoot; the older I get, the less comfortable tile and stone floors are. We put cork in our kitchen, and it is lovely and also ecologically sustainable.
12:30 pm
Pinikula

it happened this past tuesday; the kitchen floor was removed down to the subfloor and the dining room carpet's also been taken out, but had wood ply (not particle board) underneath that is ok
12:30 pm

and hello everybody else
12:30 pm

hi ruby - bon soir

hi ruby and jan ;)
12:31 pm

Cork is fabulous as long as it is well sealed - but not widely available here
12:31 pm
Glantarell

Hi Jan
12:31 pm
jan

Hi pini and glantarell! And everyone else too.
12:32 pm
Pinikula

since the kitchen and dining room are in the same 'area'...I was thinking about making that portion continuous
12:33 pm
jan

Yes, sealing cork is a must. Also, don't wear stiletto heels on it or you'll put little dents in it!
12:33 pm
Pinikula

...not sure what to do with the hallway and living room...wood or carpet?
12:33 pm
Pinikula

(have always wanted wood)
12:33 pm
Glantarell

Linoleum has had a big revival over here in designer cicles - also sustainable
12:33 pm
Pinikula

...but am interested in opinions ;)
12:33 pm
jan

Have you thought about bamboo floating floor? Easy to install, environmentally sustainable, and looks as good as wood.
12:34 pm
Pinikula

I've heard of bamboo, too...haven't come across it when googling the floor company they gave me
12:34 pm
Pinikula

will check again though...I've heard good things about it
12:35 pm
jan

I wouldn't recommend laminate wood-lool flooring, though. A good friend installed it in a kitchen,thinking it would be easy care. It is, but it sounds plasticky underfoot and looks a bit fake. She regrets it.
12:36 pm
Pinikula

that's my one thought about laminate, too...trailer park v. mansion, right? :)
12:36 pm
jan

Regarding bamboo--some varieties are a lot harder than others. Cheaper varieties can get damaged from dropping stuff on them. Ask about the hardness factor of any you look into.
12:36 pm
Glantarell

i did have laminate wood effect in that leaky toilet - the edges all lifted in the water
12:38 pm
Pinikula

not good, glanta
12:40 pm
jan

If you decide to go with some kind of tiling in the kitchen, there are some really inexpensive porcelain tiles that look a lot like natural stone. We just put some in a bathroom remodel and it looks great, at a cost of under a dollar a square foot compared with 6-10 dollars a square foot for stone tiling.
12:40 pm
Pinikula

I'm guessing what I'll have to choose from will be based on the allowance the insurance company gives me.
12:41 pm
Glantarell

can you ask if you can top up the allowance if there's something you really would ike
12:42 pm
Pinikula

I can, Glanta...I'd just have to pay the difference. Unfortunately, until they 'test' the carpet and vinyl I currently have, I don't know what the allowance is...
12:42 pm
jan

That might be a reason to pick something different in the kitchen and dining room. You could splurge on a more expensive wood floor in the dining room and go with porcelain stone-look tile in the kitchen and reduce your total per square foot price to a point that the insurance company will pay.
12:43 pm
Pinikula

I'm not sure how to make the transition again...the kitchen/dining room is separated by the working island ... kind of a like 2-room 'great room'
12:44 pm
Glantarell

anybody give me a hint for the te7s?
12:44 pm
Pinikula

(I never did care for the previous transition between the carpet and vinyl...it was curved somewhat oddly)
12:44 pm
Pinikula

Reading back on the kitchen remodeling talk. That ceramic tile floor with heat wiring underneath it must be expensive. It sounds nice though.
12:50 pm
Pinikula

Sounds nice though!
12:50 pm
jan

Actually, it really isn't, as long as you are installing new flooring anyway.
12:50 pm

Oh, wait...that's what you said...well, I agree :)

I just checked our master contract fo rthe bath remodel--the heated part of the heated floor added 300 dollars to the total cost of the project. But that includes the full bathroom area and an adjacent walkin closet and dressing room area. So not too bad, though not as inexpensive as I was remembering.
1:06 pm

Made it to 29 listlessly, but I doubt I'll finish that way! And now, off to do some housework and work-work...

hi Sue. How is he? getting around a bit?
5:22 pm
uusue2

He's doing great, lynxxx! He's walking just fine now, doesn't need a cane or anything. He picked me up at the airport and is talking about driving out to see me later this summer (which I intend to discourage, it's almost 1000 miles). So he is back to his feisty old self. Good to see.
5:23 pm
lynxxx

That's great isn't it.
5:24 pm
uusue2

Wonderful.
5:28 pm
MollyL

Hi Sue. Glad you had a nice visit with your Dad. Could he take the train to see you?
5:29 pm
uusue2

not in any way that is even vaguely convenient, and I don't think he would want to anyway (very independent, he is)
5:32 pm
uusue2

I'll go out to see him again later in the summer, maybe with my son. That should keep him happy.
5:32 pm
MollyL

Does he not like to fly?
5:33 pm
uusue2

Not really. He likes to be in charge.
5:34 pm
uusue2

by which I mean that he likes to decide when and where he goes, when he starts, when he stops, which route he takes, how long he pauses at interesting things along the way...that sort of thing.
5:35 pm
onyx

nice thing that is to be in charge of one's self
5:39 pm
uusue2

indeed, onyx, but he's 90 and I think a three or four day drive is maybe not the best idea (not that I can stop him if he gets it in his head that that's what he's going to do!)
5:40 pm

6:54 pm

I just finished one written by a fellow with Asperger's Syndrom ( he wasn't diagnosed until his late 30's ) We have a granddaughter with Aspergers, so it was very interesting
6:55 pm
dianedecoder

( syndrome ) and there's a follow up book which I'll read next.
6:58 pm
MollyL

I like Mitch Ablom.
6:58 pm
Nef

that sounds interesting, diane. What's the name of the one you just read?
7:00 pm
dianedecoder

Look Me In The Eye.... John Elder Robison
7:02 pm
dianedecoder

This fellow struggled all his life but adapted to cope and survive... These people often have savant qualities, and in his case, he was an electronics wizard.... self taught. He designed the exploding guitars that the band KISS used.... also did stage effects that nobody had seen before !!!
7:04 pm
Nef

There was a program about savants on Discovery Channel not too long ago. He was one of the people that they were interviewing! I will read that book soon!
7:05 pm
dianedecoder

It was especially interesting because of our Allison,... she is now 25, but did get a diagnosis finally at age 15. I call her my walking encyclopedia... she NEVER forgets a thing that she has read or seen, but she cannot solve the unknown... math was hard for her in school, but she excelled in history, geography and language arts.

Unfortunately, some of these people fall between the cracks in our education system. She is not high enough IQ for any post secondary schools, but too smart to qualify for other training.... e.g. if she was Down syndrome, she'd be educated to the hilt for nothing...

I have finished the grid to5/16. I have zero words le 4/7. I have a to 5/10 of 1484 points so I will write a ta4/4 as I aw5/18 for people to ask for clues.Wasn't aw 5/18 of this game until a nice la 4/7 at my library told me about it. I absolutely ad 5/12 this game. I fe 4/7 in love with it right away. I fe4/7 like upgrading to pro status just after a few days so I did. Although it makes me fe 4/7 like a cl4/6 sometimes, I know my lo5/14 Babble friends will always help & let me re 4/5 the benefits of their clues.Love being a pa4/5 of the Babble group,even if an occasional tr5/10 shows up. I think I should te 4/4 my cousin about Babble. She is not awa4/8 of this game also.I think Babble would be a real tr5/10 for her.She would ado4/5 it too. Hubby who tries to pa 6/21 my Babble time, is wa4/8ing for the computer. Now I'm going to get on my fe4/7 and unlo4/5 the dishwasher.Then I am going to get rid of the od5/12 in kitchen by emptying the trash. Then I am going to go watch a pa 6/30 on TV. I will be back tomorrow at qu5/16 after three.Goodnight babblers!

there were charges involved molly
8:37 pm
Scrabbler

I slowly climbed up the trail, went to the cabin, filled my hydration pack with Gatorade, laid down, and drank 100 oz in an hr and felt better. I just wasn't drinking enough to make up for water losses with exertion in 90 degrees.
8:38 pm
stidmama

that is so easy to do, scrabs. of course, I rarely exert myself that much, but even so some days I get monster dehydration headaches this time of year

Hmmm, sounds suspicious
9:23 pm
Nef

Great news, uu! And son's EX is staying out of the picture too?
9:24 pm
uusue2

not by choice but yes, she is; he's requested an order of protection against her and it should be acted on tomorrow
9:24 pm
uusue2

and he's getting a lot of good feedback from his friends, and even from some mutual friends (acquaintances?) that she is really nuts and they'd be happy to testify to that
9:24 pm
Nef

That's great! And I'm glad about your dad doing so well too
9:25 pm
Nef

I so hope he gets his head on staight and starts finding normal girls!

(er, your son; not your dad)
9:26 pm
uusue2

my dissertation advisor, who was Hungarian, used to tell me that the difference between Hungarians and the French is that the French leave without saying goodbye, and the Hungarians say goodbye without leaving. I am apparently part Hungarian.
9:26 pm
uusue2

and I suppose my dad could find a normal girl too although I think he will be happy to be single for a while :-)
9:26 pm
Nef

LOL!
9:29 pm
uusue2

So I was reading about the Thompson Twins in Wiki, remember them? The band, not the Tintin characters, though we love those twins too - anyway, it said in 1997 they renamed the band "Babble" how 'bout that. Trivia for the day.
