2:04 am
joshuavorbis

also a myth is 'when kookaburras laugh, rain is on the way'
2:04 am

2:07 am
dizgrannie
Oonadatta is one
2:08 am
joshuavorbis
i wonder if that is a take-off of the johnny cash song
2:08 am
mrpresident
it is a great song!!
2:08 am

you can get them from puzzle shops... you put your puzzle together on it... and as you need to, you just roll it up and move it... the puzzle stays together on the special mat, including all the pieces you have... you can buy two mats and put them together!
2:36 am
mrpresident
we have one the size of a table!!
2:36 am
sprite
hmz this shop didn't have them. But putting 2 together is smart! Will look into that when we get home. I really need something like that, so we can puzzle and then move the mess for dinner.
2:37 am
sprite
they had a 32,000 pcs puzzle in that shop! Can you believe doing one? But it wasn't beautiful. If I ever get crazy enough to try one that size, I want a very beautiful one!
2:38 am
mrpresident
sprite, if the man is in a mood, perhaps avoid for now... let him come to you when the 'time' is right...
2:38 am
mrpresident
on to puzzles....
2:38 am
mrpresident
32, 000!! that would take months to do!!
2:39 am
mrpresident
you can buy them online to the size you want too... puzzles are also available online... you can find a beauty there!
2:39 am
sprite
mrP, my love put up with me for years and years while I was depressed and handicapped. He is entitled to his own off times, right? ;)
LOL @ manopause... we call it penopause!
2:39 am

hubby made up different size boards for all my jigsaw puzzles...but when he had to buy a sheet of ply wood 5 feet x 3 1/2 feet to put on our verandah table....he said NO BIGGER...LOL
2:41 am
sprite
hey I found a jumbo mat online. Not cheap, but relatively big. I think if I bought 2 I could do all puzzles we like.

hi fish2
2:43 am
sprite
your love has been through hell and back along with you too, mrP. We all reach our fall-apart stage at some point, alas. All we can do is be there for eachother and not give up on one another, I think.
2:43 am
sprite
dizgrannie, where do you KEEP all those boards?
2:43 am

2:48 am
herinfernallady
We have a pair of maggies here
2:48 am
mrpresident
the continents?? what do they do??
2:49 am
mrpresident
we have pairs of rainbow lorekeets and the blue/red parrots.. they are just gorgeous. and the Willy birds are so cute!
2:49 am
herinfernallady
Mr Pres This is what I miss about Sydney
2:49 am
mrpresident
The are called Dickie-Birds by the older generation
2:49 am
sprite
we have them too, mrP. And just as bad. Chasing away other birds, coming almost into the house... did you know Terra befriended one?
2:50 am
mrpresident
no!! Terra is a funny mongrel!! LOL
2:51 am
mrpresident
my dog chases birds!!! she is crazy about them! doesn't touch the chickens... she protects them!!
she wishes she could get a bird, but won't ever happen :)
2:51 am
mrpresident
our Maggies are smaller?? I think
2:51 am
herinfernallady
Did you know that Kookies only laugh when you do something stupid
2:52 am
sprite
nice vid, mrP. And your boy is beautiful.
2:52 am
mrpresident
aussie magies are very tame, except during mating season!
2:53 am
mrpresident
thank you sprite! he is gorgeous!
2:53 am
mrpresident
well, I must be stupid when i wake up early in the morning! LOL with the kookas!
2:54 am
mrpresident
and the rams head on the table... found that in the paddock a few weeks back :)
2:54 am
sprite
we had a baby magpie on our garden when terra was a puppy. They leave their nests before they can fly and learn it from the ground up, magpies. The parents still feed them until they can fly.
Terra was utter curious and so was baby magpie... they became friends. Mum and dad magpie tried to chase terra away, diving for his head, but he didn't budge, lol. The magpie and terra are still 'friends'.
2:54 am
sprite
*in our garden
2:55 am
mrpresident
that is gorgeous sprite!! trusting eachother and protecting too
2:55 am
herinfernallady
Then Mating season duck and cover
2:55 am
mrpresident
i can't imagine terra hurting anything!
2:55 am
mrpresident
my cat would have had a meal of it, but vixie would have backed off for sure
2:56 am
sprite
he doesn't. He loves to chase ducks into the water, but when they don't go away, all he does is sniff them out and try to get them to play.
2:56 am
herinfernallady
I am not right in the head I just said a 9000 piece jigsaw is too easy
2:57 am
sprite
lol lady, funny girl! It all depends on the puzzle. I had a 500 pcs puzzle in my hands yesterday that I don't dare to start... it had only roses. And another one, 1000 pieces, with only dalmatian puppies. And that last one is printed on both sides! So you don't even know if you have the right side up.
2:58 am
sprite
awwww am so sorry! I miss my Expert.
2:58 am
mrpresident
pb for sprite! all mistake of course!!
2:58 am
herinfernallady
This one was in sections like you could say this and this go here

3:00 am
herinfernallady
OK they are calling for women's only cab's driven by women for women. Isn't this reverse discrimination AND they are pink because as a girl I love pink
3:01 am
sprite
am looking, lady, I was in a 'real' store that specialises in puzzles and games.
3:01 am
mrpresident
it is only 14.5 hours to Vancouver?? I will book a flight!!
3:02 am
mrpresident
why infern??
3:02 am
mrpresident
why women for women cabs only?? and where?
3:02 am
herinfernallady
Because men are pigs here with cabs
3:02 am

lady, this is one like it, only smaller:

That is cute Sprite.

3:04 am

lady check out this shop:

Tha
t is where we were yesterday!
3:04 am
rubyfoo
there was an article in the Int'l Herald Tribune about how dangerous hotels can be for women biz travellers
3:04 am
mrpresident
and have you seen the jigsaw puzzles online??
3:04 am
herinfernallady
They take advantage of you and think you are stupid and have no clue on direction is another issue. Especially with Middle Eastern men. And I don't mean that as racis either
3:05 am
mrpresident
81 and punched?? so what the hell happened there?
3:05 am
rubyfoo
when I worked, I used to travel all the time and only had problems with colleagues, never hotel employees. Maybe things have gotten worse....
3:05 am
herinfernallady
No idea Mr Pres. But I really don't have issues.
3:05 am
mrpresident
well, if a middle eastern man said boo to me in a threatening way, I would punch him too!
3:06 am
rubyfoo
I once had a cab driver in NY give me a hard time because I wasn't going far enough, started yelling at me (he was Russian, I think) and I just got out of the cab on the curb side and left the door open, so he had to walk around the cab to close it! hahah
3:06 am
herinfernallady
No Mr Pres I am just saying this is the issue I ahve had.
3:06 am
sprite
mrP: you mean to play online? That I don't like much. I prefer the real thing.
3:06 am
mrpresident
ah, i haven't played them and wondered if they were any good
3:07 am
herinfernallady
Sprite I would not have had been able to leave that store.
3:07 am
sprite
awesome, isn't it, lady!
3:08 am
mrpresident
i was in a cab with my boyfriend (back when I was 20) and the cabbie wouldn't let us sit together. we had to sit totally separated with a metre between us, not look at eachother or touch eachother.
3:08 am
mrpresident
he was middle eastern and a total dipsh*t
3:08 am
herinfernallady
Yes it is Sprite.
3:09 am
sprite
mrP, I tried it and didn't like it. You cannot see all the pieces, or you cannot even pick the order, or you get a couple of containers (those are the best puzzles) so you can sort things out for starters, but not like when you sit down with the real thing and 'let things happen'.
3:09 am
herinfernallady
Himself wasn't allowed in a cab because ''he was drunk'' and going too far (it was a $40 cab fair). He was drinking and not drunk
3:09 am
herinfernallady
Sprite Jigzone online
3:09 am
sprite
I have had very good middle eastern cab drivers. And very rude dutch ones, though not many.
3:10 am
mrpresident
and my boyfriend was middle eastern catholic! was totally unacceptable to impose his religion on us
3:11 am
herinfernallady
I honestly don't care as long as you are poliet and don't scare me.
3:11 am
sprite
far too easy, lady!
3:12 am
herinfernallady
True on that Sprite. BAH ok 364 days to the Olympic Games and I am SO over it
3:13 am
sprite
I think about 99,5 percent of the dutch cab drivers are polite and helpful. If I have had a bad experience twice in my life, it is a lot.
3:15 am
sprite
I sympathise, lady. I have the same thing about Xmas :P
3:15 am
herinfernallady
I am hoping food soon
3:15 am
herinfernallady
Sprite I am very irritated about how this year Christmas was mentioned in June
3:16 am
rubyfoo
what would you like, herin, I am psyching myself up to a cooking mode!
3:16 am
mrpresident
i am psyching myself up to pick up the phone and call for pizza
3:17 am
sprite
I could do with a nice breakie, rubyfoo. How about real croissants, crackers with smoked salmon, coffee and orange juice?
3:17 am
herinfernallady
I am waiting for himself to bring home Chinese
3:17 am
herinfernallady
Ooooooooo Drool Sprite
3:17 am
sprite
wow mrP! That is pretty intense :)
3:18 am
rubyfoo
breakfast is the meal around here. No slamon in the house but I have homemade peach preserves, farmer eggs, whole wheat bread, expresso.
3:18 am
rubyfoo
could get the croissants when we pick you up at the airport and also the salmon!
3:18 am
herinfernallady
O stop it
3:19 am
sprite
hehehe coming over right now!
3:19 am
rubyfoo
no bagels here, though, they don't exist in this part of France
3:19 am
herinfernallady
Oooooooooooo They are talking about replacing failing retail stores here with big brand USA stores. Why bother when you can buy at Amazon at less the price
3:20 am
sprite
don't need bagles. Croissants, especially real french ones, will do!
3:20 am
herinfernallady
What really Ruby I thought they were a universal food (I nearly said fruit)
3:20 am
rubyfoo
we have an "artisanat" bakery right in the village that makes superb ones, the best I've had!
3:20 am
rubyfoo
I think you have to be in Paris
3:21 am
sprite
we have croissants here, but they are not like the real ones, for the most part.
3:22 am
mrpresident
not one bugger will delivery chinese here... such a shame
3:23 am
rubyfoo
Oriental food here is not worth eating - no decent Chines or sushi or Thai :(
3:23 am
mrpresident
infern, i am not in favour of globalization, but nothing is stopping it.... I have been battling it since 1996... very sad
3:23 am
mrpresident
we have awesome japanese and thai!
3:24 am
herinfernallady
MrPres this is Solly that is closing 50 stores - Dotti P.A etx.
3:25 am
herinfernallady
We have no good Chinese here so we are getting it from the proper area
3:25 am
rubyfoo
there are virtually no Orientals here, hardly any blacks, few Americans, just French and Arabsd!
3:26 am
sprite
the netherlands are pretty multiculti. We have all colours, and most cuisines. Though how much they are like the 'real' stuff I don't know. But great great food!
3:27 am
rubyfoo
herring! Indonesian! My few trips to the Netherlands have been superb food experiences. We just happen to be in the wrong part of France for decent food
3:28 am
rubyfoo
fortunately, the scenery makes up for it
3:28 am
herinfernallady
I thought France was all about food
3:28 am
sprite
Indonesian is probably the first 'foreign' food that became popular here.
3:29 am
rubyfoo
not Annecy, unless you like things with gloppy cheese
3:29 am
herinfernallady
What sort of Cheese?
3:29 am
rubyfoo
when I used to cook Indian food (in a former life hahah), I used to make some of the Indonesian side fishes (serundang, e.g.) to go with
3:29 am
mrpresident
ok, pizza on the way!
3:30 am
sprite
I hope I am not insulting rubyfoo, but I feel the french cuisine is overrated. I'll take a good Thai meal over a french one anyday.
3:30 am
sprite
well done mrP
3:30 am
rubyfoo
Reblochon is the local specialty and all kinds of Tomme. But they ruin potatoes with cheese and butter
3:30 am
herinfernallady
You know that it is all about Cheese
3:31 am
rubyfoo
I'm not French and husband and I totally agree with you. Unless you go to the most expensive restaurants, it is very blan and ordinary, and the beef is horrible
3:31 am
mrpresident
french cuisine is only good when home cooked
3:31 am
mrpresident
sorry, IMHO
3:32 am
sprite
oh yes, they kill meat. Top french cuisine is probably very good, but the rest...
3:32 am
herinfernallady
Well I for one would live on cheese and wine
3:32 am
rubyfoo
what is very good here, though, is halal lamb, much better than what you can get in the US
3:33 am
rubyfoo
although maybe that has changed in the years since we left
3:33 am
sprite
not wine for me, but I LOVE the cheeses.
3:33 am
herinfernallady
I hate the idea of Halal
3:34 am
rubyfoo
in the US you can only get frozen lamb from NZ
3:34 am
sprite
what is wrong with halal?
3:34 am
herinfernallady
Well Ok I should change that too I hate the idea of any slaughter house that bleeds the animal alive instead of just killing it quickly
3:35 am
rubyfoo
don't they stun it first?
3:35 am
herinfernallady
BRB food here.
3:36 am
sprite
if you want to be sure of a quick kill, you have to do it yourself. 'Regular' slaughterhouses aren't any better than halal.
3:36 am
rubyfoo
has anybody read Temple Grandin?
3:37 am
rubyfoo
she has developed humane ways of treating cows on their way to slaughterhouses. But I am edging closer and closer to giving up meat.....
3:38 am
rubyfoo
have you read Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals? He won't eat anything that had parents
3:38 am
mrpresident
Am watching 'the world's oldest mums'... not even remotely happy to watch
3:38 am

rubyfoo

3:39 am
mrpresident
oh, want to watch it, but the women are miserable!
3:40 am
mrpresident
everything in these house is so old! and this 72 year old woman is looking to get pregnant!!
3:40 am
sprite
yeah well there is a reason women are most fertile when young... it takes loads of energy to bear, birth and raise kids.
3:41 am
mrpresident
she is calling the Ukraine, Kiev to get a clinic to help her out... she is british
3:41 am
rubyfoo
have you read that older mens sperm isn't such a great idea, either? That a higher percentage of their offspring are autistic?
3:41 am
sprite
she should be locked up in a mental institution. Sorry if it sounds rude.
3:42 am
rubyfoo
amen, sprite!
3:42 am
mrpresident
and this woman who is 68 is pushing twin boys... 2 year olds. She now has cancer and is dying
3:43 am
rubyfoo
all that strikes me as really sick! after 40, there are too many risks for the babies
3:43 am
ursh
Hello all - A mother's job is to raise her child to 18 - a 72yr old probably wont see the child reach 10 - not right
3:43 am
sprite
that kind of child wish is only "ME ME ME" and not about the children.
3:43 am
mrpresident
she saw her mother live to 101 and thought she would do that too, she now has only months to live
3:43 am
rubyfoo
everyone is not necessarily meant to have children
3:43 am
sprite
too right, ursh. And hi :)
3:44 am
rubyfoo
hello ursh!
3:44 am
mrpresident
they don't use their eggs or partners sperm
3:44 am
mrpresident
they are an old surrogate to fresh babies.
3:44 am
herinfernallady
Eating back soon
3:44 am
sprite
even if you live to 101, it doesn't mean you are a fun mum.
3:44 am
rubyfoo
I was happy that my son was born when I was 20! I can't imagine shlepping a baby around now and then it was easy
3:45 am
mrpresident
so she leaves behind 2 babies.. and dies. the children are now living with her brother's son.
3:45 am

The incompetence cotinues Molly...Just had my appointment at my primary care doctor's office. Turns out, my CT scan showed a major sinus infection...that the hospital NEVER mentioned to me! This whole episode may have been caused by that and they should have started me on antibiotics!!! GRRRRRRR.
9:42 am
herinfernallady
Car I can join you in the gross head department. There is ice cream on offer as most other foods taste like crap
9:42 am
MollyL
Time for one of those seething letters to the president of the hospital. Trust me, they work wonders.
9:43 am
car.eeyore
I have now shelled out $100 for the hospital visit, $100 in co-pays to other doctors and am looking at about the same at the pharmacy!!!!
9:43 am
car.eeyore
Oh Herin! I am sorry about that. The nurse practitioner I saw just recommended lots of steamy hot liquids.
9:44 am

Use the word "negligence" a lot in your letter. That seems to promote offers of taking care of anything your insurance won't cover.

Hello Ruby!

And have your primary care doctor write one too.
9:45 am

Can't do that. I have never seen my primary care doctor.

we are having a big storm, too, but it's beautiful and green after our long winter and spring drought
9:47 am

If the nurse practioner explains the situation to the doctor, I would imagine he would be willing to write a letter. It's worth a try.

Russell Brand (a recovering addict) wrote a very good piece on what it's like to be a friend/loved one of an addict in response to the death of Amy Winehouse.

hi and bye, ruby
10:06 am
herinfernallady
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I love pitties. They are banned here :(
10:07 am
Uneaixoise
they're great dogs and so misunderstood -- lots of landlords here won't rent to pittie owners :-(
10:07 am
herinfernallady
The issue here is the amount of attacks. More like moron owners that need to be PTS rather than the dog
10:08 am
Uneaixoise
oh, I agree completely -- it's totally the owners who treat them badly and/or raise them to fight :-(
10:09 am
herinfernallady
My mum doesn't like me going to my friends house who has 3 big dogs. I told her I respect them they are well trained and if I got bit it would have to do with me being stupid not the dog
10:09 am
rubyfoo
look what happened to my husband last year, and he's been around dogs all his life. Just a stupid owner who coldn't control his own dog
10:10 am

many years ago I lived in the Highland Creek Valley, dose, I believe the entire area is now a park? They were all frame homes and most washed away with Hurricane Hazel (we had long since moved to North York)
10:55 am
doseffing
... Highland Creek ... is that Rouge or Humber Valley ... I know the name ... it's just blank as to which end of the city it is
10:55 am
flosey
Rouge is out further East, Humber is West of Toronto
10:56 am
doseffing
... not anymore
10:56 am
flosey
Humber Valley took quite a beating with that hurricane
10:56 am
doseffing
... so did the Rouge ... there is still one of the old emergency bridges over the Rouge up north of the zoo ...
10:56 am
flosey
Rouge would be west of you
10:57 am
doseffing
... Humber Valley is now not quite mid-town
10:58 am
doseffing
... when did you leave Hogtown? ...
10:58 am
flosey
ah, my girlfriend and I use to go biking out through Highland Creek and Rouge area
10:59 am

11:03 am
doseffing
... even since 1996 it has changed ... particularly north ... ... it's people all they up to Elgin Mills ... Markham (or York Region) has a million people in it ...

11:15 am
beachboggle
lice is a word, but it isn't in the grid

11:19 am
flosey
goes to Tswassen - can never get that spelling right
11:19 am

... I like the ferry ride from Twassen to Schwartz BAy ... but I dislike doing the same thing every time

doseffing
... yeah I forgot that other 's' again
11:20 am

Hello :)
11:20 am

11:21 am
flosey
we took a ferry north out of Horseshoe Bay, scenery is beautiful up that way
11:22 am
doseffing
... but if I got to Nanaimo first ... I'd turn north and go up to the other end of the island because i've never been there ... and then everyone would be yelling at me for not going where I was supposed to go ...

I'm not sure that chalkboards as we think of them (in the classroom) were ever referred to as sl5s. I think the term refers more to a hand-held tablet sort of thing. Hence the phrase, to wipe the sl5 clean. : D
11:42 am
LisaG
it was handheld, but a mini chalkboard
11:43 am

In 1442, “I will never get used to a book. It doesn’t feel right. I just love the experience of unrolling a scroll and the beauty of hand-written words.” Johannes Gutenberg invented movable type and the mechanical printing press in 1439.... many ideas are lame..at the time.take care all and happy babbling! poink!

A friend and I were discussing a "school with no books" when Cushing Academy tore down it's library in favor of all digital borrowing. It would seem strange to see students milling around a campus with nothing but a digital device. Kind of Orwellian.

our library got rid of about 24000 volumes a couple of years ago - the faculty had a fit - they are still available digitally but it is not the same thing. The math department talked the provost into funding the return of the math journals that they had gotten rid of (paid for shipping)

math and science should not be totally computer based. need that kinetic pen and paper thing in order to learn the techniques

the dean of the library said something about how the library wasn't supposed to be a repository for things that didn't circulate, which I found rather odd (this is a university library)
1:13 pm

Oh I SO agree about the kinetic learning of math and science. I am a person who REALLY needs that.

1:32 pm
stidmama
*refers back in chog* WHY must we "blame" anyone? why can't we just start supporting folks? The parents who are working extra jobs to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table who simply don't have time, energy or money to support school instruction with sports or tutors... the teachers who are working in overcrowded classrooms with out of date materials... the schools that are in impoverished areas where bake sales are held for maintenance rather than field trips. *sigh*
1:33 pm
Vicuna
Thanks, stidmama!
1:33 pm
Dorens
oh, and we're not allowed to have bake sales, either. and yes, it isn't about blame, it's about finding solutions, but when the solutions involve giving children better opportunities than they get at home. it becomes an "infringement" of democratic principals.
1:33 pm
doseffing
... quite right ... but when the parent tells me that it's my fault that his kid isn't being raised right ... if I want to help the kid I must ask the parent to think about the kid
1:34 pm
Dorens
I've long thought that one answer would be to create group homes for mothers who need a little help, and they would have "master mothers" to model the appropriate parenting techniques... eat dinner together and show them how... manners, conversation, etc.
1:34 pm
Dorens
kind of like a kibbutz or commune. sort of radical
1:34 pm
MollyL
That is an awesome idea Dorens. Kind of like taking the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program one step further.
1:35 pm
Vicuna
Interesting idea, Doren. But, boy, would it be hard to match up groups of like-minded folks. I wouldn't want to be in charge of that! lol
1:35 pm
Dorens
problem is, it's too "outside the box" Whose responsibility would it be? Not the schools, and which bureaucracy would we trust?
1:35 pm
Dorens
and we can't mandate it, and the ones who need it most wouldn't want to do it
1:36 pm
doseffing
... my problem is no one can agree on proper behaviour anymore ... do we eat dinner together? ... but that means the employer must allow the parent to leave work ... ...
1:37 pm
Dorens
there are a lot of problems. but instead of looking at the real problems and trying to find reasonable solutions, they just want to look at test scores and bame the teacher
1:37 pm
snags
Dorens, perhaps divorced mothers with custody of their children could form group homes. I like the super mom idea.
1:37 pm
doseffing
... a couple of years ago 60% of high school students around here had jobs in retail ... ... these are full time employees as far as the store is concerned ... ... damned if I'll let my employees stay home from work so they can eat with family
1:37 pm
stidmama
Making people leave their homes and communities doesn't sound right to me. Perhaps support from within the community -- a babysitting service for parents who have to work late, mentors who check in regularly with parents to visit and give them ideas/a break (parenting young children can be so isolating), making sure that healthy food options are affordable....
1:38 pm
Dorens
there are plenty of retired women out there who did a better job. and I know I personally can think of things i wish I'd done differently... would be great if they could learn from our mistakes as well
1:38 pm
Vicuna
True, doseffing. There are lots of elements of society that don't seem to support healthy families. We definitely feel like we need to make tough choices. But that's always been the case, just with different choices.
1:38 pm
doseffing
... people are no longer allowed to make mistakes ... which is why no one will do anything ...
1:39 pm
Vicuna
lol - we may not be "allowed" to make mistakes, but somehow we all seem to manage to make them just the same!
1:39 pm
Dorens
i'm thinking we need to teach the mothers, and visitors who come in and show them things, but they need constant modeling. also, I have a problem with people who can't take care of their own kids, and then go on to have 5 or 6... and we have a self-perpetuating mess
1:40 pm
Dorens
i work with kids whose parents make a whole lot of mistakes, some that are so damaging to the kids, and they sure are allowed to make them
1:41 pm
doseffing
... yes and yes ... ... but who is going to teach the males ... the fathers ... ... major pet peeve ... ... there is no longer a male image to follow or pattern after ... ... thus the boys often ... do nothing, want nothing, hope for nothing ... and have no idea that there is a future to think about
1:42 pm
Dorens
that's absolutely true dos.... need a few male figures in there as well... but I was concentrating on the many families that are headed by single women who really just aren't doing the job at all.
1:42 pm
stidmama
the number of children is a different issue, and one that I am not willing to address. A bigger issue for me are the parents (who exist) who cannot or will not stay away from the drugs and other dangerous situations. The children in those homes are in danger and come to school so traumatized that just staying in their seats is a victory. The foster family system is broken and often the children have no where to go when there are no foster homes available. What do we do for those children?
1:42 pm
doseffing
... they're not mistakes ... unless someone points them out and persuades them that there is a better way ... a better choice ... right now the choice is "me right now" ...
1:43 pm
Vicuna
I think good role models are hard to come by for all. (Which is why I write books about basically good people trying to do the right thing in tough situations. I don't think we can ever have too many examples of that to look at!)

oh! Vi! that reminds me -- stidkid #2 REALLY wants to complete his set. What can I do to get him an autographed set? *pleading mama look*

It would make such a great Yule present for him!
1:46 pm

stidmama, I am, of course, be delighted and honored that stidkid still wants to finish them! If you want them autographed, then you can buy them from me. I think you have my e-mail, or can find it from my web site. Just let me know which ones you want.

stidmama
(((Krista))) right -- so many support models are there, just too few for the need. *sad look*
1:49 pm

Lots of good suggestions here. However, along with all those there would have to be a resurgence of common decency, manners and a "sense of community" all of which seem lost in today's world.
1:49 pm
Vicuna
It does feel overwhelming, for sure. But there really is lots of good stuff happening, too.
1:50 pm

1:52 pm
Vicuna
In fact, I think one thing we've got going for us these days is that we actually see injustice. In the "good old days" most people were unaware of or didn't count injustices of race, sex, class, religion, and all the rest. People were courteous, but only within their own group. We need to get that common courtesy back, but then apply it to EVERYONE, no exceptions!
1:54 pm
stidmama
"courtesy" can also hide real feelings, I would be pleased as anything if folks just started helping each other and worked on getting along, regardless of the words they use
1:58 pm
periwinkle
yes indeed, I agree, Vicuna, we need common courtesy back!!
1:58 pm
Vicuna
Real courtesy is about being respectful and making other's feel values. I always tell my kids that it isn't enough to say "thank you" if you actually sound more dismissive than thankful!
1:58 pm
periwinkle
and yes to stiddy too
1:59 pm
Vicuna
*others feel valued, I mean
1:59 pm
stidmama
yes vi -- that is true ((hey peri!)) -- it's important that the words convey true respect for the persons involved
2:00 pm
amelu0218
and never reply to a thank you with 'no problem' or something dismissive like that... one should use 'you are quite welcome, my pleasure, etc' that will make the person you've helped realize that they're not just someone on the street, even if they are...
2:01 pm

Much better this week. Lat week it was over 100 here and humid
4:41 pm
rubyfoo
it's very cold but beautiful here, in between the rainstorms that s. My Ruby was so upset by the thunder that I had to give her a puppy tranqullizer
4:42 pm
rubyfoo
she was beside herself
4:42 pm
bichon
fortunately, mine don't get frightened by storms. Just by other dogs
4:42 pm
rubyfoo
it had phobarbital, meprobromate and other stuff, but it settled her down. Does anybody remember puppy uppers and doggy downers on the old SNL?
4:43 pm
rubyfoo
phenobarbitol* I am typing in the dark
4:43 pm
uusue2
Sera doesn't like the thunder either but it just makes her bark (as do many things)
4:43 pm
rubyfoo
she's very calm around other dogs (and cats), it's just firecrackers and thunder that make her crazed
4:44 pm
rubyfoo
she only barks if somebody parks in our parking or comes to the gate
4:44 pm
bichon
well, firecrackers are bad for them. But not terrible like other dogs
4:45 pm
rubyfoo
I worry because her heart pounds to strongly and she trembles all over
4:46 pm
rubyfoo
I swaddled her in a big towel and gave her the pill and she calmed down after a while. The vet recommended it, but it was creepy seeing her sort of collapse like that and she's a heavy dog, 75 lbs or so
4:46 pm
bichon
They all have their little schticks
4:47 pm
rubyfoo
I'm afraid that I love this dog too much....
4:47 pm
bichon
you can't love a dog too much.

she's 8 1/2 and I worry about her a lot
4:48 pm

4:49 pm

her diet is wonderful; I cook the two dogs brown rice with cauliflower, chicken, beef hearts and chicken liver and season it with bouillon and parmesan
4:50 pm

I think smaller dogs are good choices because of that, but, unfortunately, husband I both like the personalities of chows
4:50 pm

and they are so beautiful
4:52 pm

I do not cook for my dog. I do enough for them
4:52 pm

Sera is a pretty big dog but she is a real sweetheart :-)
4:52 pm
bichon
Do the French really cook for their dogs?
4:53 pm
rubyfoo
I spend too much time cooking for them and feeding them. No, the French don't but I'm a Jewish mother
4:53 pm
uusue2
we get her the real premium dog food (the kind you can't find in the regular stores, even the regular pet food stores)
4:53 pm
rubyfoo
the French give them table scraps and dried kibble
4:53 pm
uusue2
but I don' t cook for her, at least not on purpose (sometimes she gets something that has fallen on the floor :-)
4:53 pm
rubyfoo
I also put cauliflower in the rice
4:54 pm
bichon
Well, me too ruby, but I prefer to use a nationally known name brand like Iams or Purina One.
4:54 pm
rubyfoo
the kibble the dogs eat is Purina One, costing 5 times as much as in Miami
4:55 pm
rubyfoo
it is actually cheaper to cook for them but it's still several $$ a day.
4:56 pm
bichon
I buy their dog food at Costco or BJ's and it's cheaper
4:56 pm
uusue2
we've been getting Taste of the Wild, which is about twice as much as the national brands, but no filler so don't have to feed her as much
4:56 pm
rubyfoo
why do they put ash in dog food? Does anybody know?
4:56 pm
rubyfoo
even Purina
4:57 pm
uusue2
and corn seems to upset her tummy a bit so the more natural food seems better
4:57 pm
bichon
I'll look on the web
4:57 pm
rubyfoo
Ruby also gets a cheese omelet in the morning
4:57 pm

can't get fresh corn here anyway

what kind? my son takes lunesta which I think is the pill that made people sleepwalk, sleepcook, and, most frighteningly, sleep drive
5:07 pm
uusue2
actually I forget its name but that's not it
5:07 pm
rubyfoo
I take xanax at night to prevent middle-of-the night anxiety
5:09 pm
rubyfoo
I'll look it up
5:09 pm
uusue2
I am also on lamotrigine, an antidepressant that is supposed to help with anxiety as well
5:09 pm
rubyfoo
side effects?
5:09 pm
uusue2
so far I am unimpressed but it's only been 2 weeks
5:09 pm
uusue2
not that I can tell, which is nice
5:10 pm
uusue2
sleepy stuff is also called restoril
5:11 pm
rubyfoo
I think antid's take 2 weeks to kick in. The last time I tried one, it had just kicked in and I immediately developed tardive diskynesthesia and had to taper right off
5:12 pm
rubyfoo
I've written down the names and will see if I can find French equivalents. My MD will prescribe absolutely anything I ASK FOR; SHE'S A TERRIBLE ENABLER lol
5:13 pm
uusue2
this one is supposedly faster acting than most
5:13 pm
rubyfoo
I am finally getting sleepy; it must be all those new meds! haha
5:13 pm
uusue2
I don't feel too depressed most of the time, but sleeping is still an issue
5:13 pm
rubyfoo
how many hours do you get/need?
5:13 pm
uusue2
great, ruby! at least my meds are helping somebody!
5:14 pm
uusue2
I can usually get 3-4 hours, then I wake up and can't get back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. if I don't have to go to work I can go back to bed and get another hour or two but I can't always do that
5:14 pm
uusue2
I go to sleep ok, mostly, but just can't stay that way long enough
5:15 pm
rubyfoo
that wouldn't be enough for me; I'd be useless the next day
5:15 pm
uusue2
so you will sometimes see me on here when it is 4 or 5 am (babble time, which is my time too)
5:15 pm
Michnick
It must be the subject matter, I keep seeing opiate in the grid. Hi all
5:15 pm
uusue2
I can manage for a day or two but then I get pretty wrung out
5:15 pm
rubyfoo
that waking-up in the middle of the night (after 9/11) is why I went on Xanax in the first place
5:15 pm
uusue2
lol, mich!
5:15 pm
rubyfoo
hello michnick; you are up really late
5:15 pm
MollyL
Wow Sue, you must be dragging in the middle of the day. That is when a mostly sleepless night catches up with me.
5:16 pm
uusue2
I'm typically not anxious when I wake up, usually I just have to pee, but then I can't get back to sleep
5:16 pm
Michnick
You are right, ruby Time for bed.
5:16 pm
rubyfoo
I NEED A NAP FROM 3 TO 4pm BUT dh ALWAYS WAKES ME

What Does Bank Holiday Mean?
Any business day during which commercial banks and savings & loans institutions are closed for business to the public, specifically at physical locations. These holidays usually coincide with federal holidays in the United States, but each country defines is own bank holidays.
Infrequently, a bank holiday can also refer to a day where there is an emergency bank closure to avert a bank run. This type of bank holiday occurred as a result of the Emergency Banking Act of 1933 during the Great Depression in the United States.
8:14 pm
MollyL
Apparently bank holidays (days when banks are closed) are the same as legal holiday (what we in the US think of) in the UK
8:15 pm
jmcnrick
oh okay i was left with the impression they are different
8:15 pm
MollyL
Her in the good old USA, most of our legal holidays are also bank holidays.

I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's the danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you
I saw your face ascending
Out of the common place and into the rare
Now somewhere out in space I hang suspended
Until I'm certain that there's a chance that you care
Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
