I did her nails, and gave her a mini facial... brought some vanilla slice over for her (her favourite) and we had tea... I talked, she can't
12:32 am
mrpresident

neil, my friend is dying... has less than a month. Brain cancer got her in the end, and 4 months ago, she was all clear

Oh no, mrp. :( I'm so sorry to hear this! *hugs*

oh mrp, I'm sure she really appreciated that.

God, that's so fast! :(
12:33 am
joey

mrp, I am so sorry to hear that. You are such a good friend to her
12:33 am
mrpresident

a lot of the meds she is taking allows 1/4 of her body to word... motor movements are gone on the right completely, and since she started on meds to reduce the swelling in the brain, she can talk a little
12:33 am
negativeneil

Yes, second what joey says.
12:33 am
mrpresident

m9... she did, and she won't remember, but I will
12:34 am
mrpresident

she asks me to do something, then forgets in an instant what she wants to ask for
12:35 am
mrpresident

fu** it hurts to see her like that
12:35 am
joey

mrp, what is important that you are there for her. It will really make you feel good to know that you are making her happy. maybe she won't remember but somewhere she will know
12:35 am
mrpresident

I gave her a patch for the pain, massaged the stuff that isn't working anymore... and just smiled and told her stories
12:36 am
m9f9l

ah.. my friend just shthrough this with her mother. Swelling in the brain.. she went from mentally there to being like a little child who didn't recognize her daughter very quickly and then she was gone.

Has anybody seen the latest "let's fool the guys to raise breast cancer awareness" meme on facebook? Those annoy me so much.
12:41 am
Jellen

Cancer. Sucks.
12:42 am
Jellen

They annoy me too, m9...
12:42 am

It sure does, Jellen. As you know only too well. :(
12:42 am
negativeneil

Fool the guys, Mary? WTF?
12:44 am
m9f9l

Oh Neil.. it goes around every year. It's SO stupid. The first one was post your bra color...
12:44 am
flosey

Hello everyone, late tonight
12:44 am
jillibus

hi flosey
12:44 am
negativeneil

Why do they say 'let's fool the guys' though?
12:44 am
negativeneil

Don't get it?
12:44 am
m9f9l

so all of a sudden there were all these statuses being posted: "pink" "black"
12:44 am
Jellen

It's a chain email sent around to get you to post stupid stuff as your status...For women only...
12:45 am
flosey

bet the swim was refreshing Jilli
12:45 am
m9f9l

a female would send a private message to her girlfriends "let's show how POWERFUL we women are by fooling the guys.. post your bra color"
12:45 am
m9f9l

like that's powerful!?!??!
12:45 am
negativeneil

I don't see what that supposed to do, to benefit anyone and increase awareness?
12:45 am
jillibus

I never got there, flosey -- too much to do, then too late and too tired
12:45 am
m9f9l

then it was shoe size.. and where you leave your purse.....
12:45 am
Jellen

It doesn't, Neil...that's why it's annoying...
12:45 am
m9f9l

exactly Neil.
12:45 am
negativeneil

How is posting your bra color "fooling" anyone? Sorry but this just isn't making sense.
12:45 am
m9f9l

but the latest is just horrible.

12:46 am

it's your birth week and your favorite snack..
12:46 am
m9f9l

so things like "12 weeks and I'm craving snickers"
12:47 am
negativeneil

Still not making any sense. Stupid.
12:47 am
negativeneil

Glad I don't bother with FB.
12:47 am
dart001

people think you are pregnant
12:47 am
negativeneil

I rarely log into my account there. As soon as the rest of my contacts there have moved over to G+, I'm deleting that account and can't wait.
12:47 am
jillibus

Not all FB is stupid, neil
12:48 am
negativeneil

Yes, that's the impression I received from what Mary's posted here, dart.
12:48 am
m9f9l

each time it starts going around I post something about there being better ways to raise awareness.
12:49 am
negativeneil

FB is a security hazard, jilli. That's why I won't use it. There is no such thing as a "private" FB page no matter how you adjust your settings. Google this phrase: "view private facebook profiles" and you'll find there are countless web pages with scripts enabling any member of the public to view the entire conents of any "private" Facebook page. No thanks!
12:49 am
m9f9l

There's aspects of Facebook that I like.
12:49 am
negativeneil

Contents, even. Typing's gone to hell.
12:49 am
negativeneil

Well no aspects are worth the security risk to me or most people in my personal circles, Mary.
12:50 am
jillibus

I don't post anything on FB that needs to be private.
12:50 am
m9f9l

exactly jilli
12:50 am
negativeneil

As soon as I learned about that major flaw with FB, I deleted everything in my page and left it to rot, basically.
12:50 am
negativeneil

Exactly! And a social network where I can't post and share anything with my friends is useless.
12:51 am
negativeneil

You don't have the concerns I do.
12:51 am
m9f9l

no. I don't
12:51 am
jillibus

I guess that's true, neil.
12:51 am
negativeneil

Think yourself lucky then.
12:52 am
negativeneil

But with identity theft being as big a problem as it is these days, everyone should be concerned for their privacy online really.
12:52 am
m9f9l

ok.. I will!
12:52 am

I am.

Why would I say that about your photo? No, you don't look very sheepish to me. I could be an ovine though... first half of my surname is a baby one.
1:13 am

I watched it and the analysis afterwards
1:13 am

Why do you say that?
1:13 am

that's right you are a little lamb
1:13 am

Do I seem out of sorts or something? Weird.
1:13 am

1:14 am

yes you do but that's okay
1:14 am
negativeneil

Why would I seem out of sorts? Please show me what I've said that gives you that impression?
1:15 am
m9f9l

no prob
1:15 am
negativeneil

You said that after I said to you:

"Read my bio, west. You might get a kick out of my running commentaries on tonight's GOP Debate."

Ok, that would show I'm in a chatty, sociable, friendly mood and I seem "out of sorts" to you? #puzzled
1:16 am
westford

okay, at 1:09 central time you said "so I concentrated on killing this grid
1:17 am
negativeneil

Oh, what I said to flosey maybe? Haha, no. I was teasing... because I didn't realize she meant in your photo and thought she meant whoever was signed into your account.
1:17 am
negativeneil

Yes, that's an expression we use, meaning to tackle and beat it into submission. ;)
1:17 am
negativeneil

Finish it, in other words. :P

I was being grandmotherly and wondered if you were having a bad day
1:18 am

Doubt you'd find me "out of sorts" in here. Not without a good, strong reason anyway.
1:18 am

No!
1:18 am

1:18 am

Not to worry. ;)

not wishing to interrupt, but hi, west, love your blues directions! :)
1:19 am

Besides, I did all my venting earlier while watching the debate. See my bio for all of my running commentary... it gave ruru a good chuckle.
1:19 am
negativeneil

No probs, rbud.
1:19 am
westford

good rbud I thought it was killer
1:19 am
flosey

lol neil, but I did have someone do that to me! I was playing bridge and someone entered the table and (I don't understand how) but took over my account and made extremely rude comments as if it was me actually saying them
1:19 am
negativeneil

We loved it too. We have a hilarious post with the funniest comment thread going on G+ because of that. We've all been posting our blues names.
1:21 am
negativeneil

You're kidding, flosey? Wow. If your password was pretty simple and easy to guess, someone probably hacked your account. Always use a password at least 13 characters long, containing both upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, with not common words in it -- none of it should even make sense to anyone but you. Do that and you'll never get hacked again.
1:21 am
negativeneil

Ok, 10 left and gonna kill these off.
1:21 am
flosey

I have since done that, thanks neil - also reported him to yahoo
1:21 am
westford

who can remember all that? I'd never get into any of my accounts again
1:22 am
flosey

it was very embarrassing
1:22 am
negativeneil

I don't memorize them. I have a password manager in my browser and obviously, I keep them written down and stored safely.
1:22 am
westford

that used to happen in Tangleword some of these kids are genious hackers
1:22 am
negativeneil

I bet, flosey.
1:22 am
negativeneil

Yes, but a password such as I described never gets hacked. It's what I do with all my accounts now.
1:23 am
flosey

I do keep a record of various passwords
1:23 am
negativeneil

I learned, after having my website hacked and all deleted on me, and even my domain name stolen!
1:23 am
negativeneil

Yes, but you need unhackable passwords too.
1:23 am
flosey

oh my! that is awful neil
1:23 am

Yes, westford. We always had bagels in the house of course. They would be soothing on the gums.

1:43 am

back again -- read your profile, neil -- I watched MSNBC too -- Huntsman is way ahead imho. Did you see him on Jon Stewart, speaking fluent Mandarin? Too bad he has some Republican ideas.

My "stepmom" [his girlfriend/domestic partner] is a published author.

You'll laugh. I didn't list, so I didn't see what I had to find... I use the tile and word stats and for some reason, somehow, I totally missed the last tw4,8.

A silly little word like that? I finally saw it.
1:45 am

I didn't have it but now I do !

far from finished though

Bye again
1:46 am
westford

will your father's gf be your muse and help you finish your book, neil?
1:46 am
negativeneil

Yes, jilli. I really like him... he actually qualified to be president and therefore, as Seain commented earlier, the Republicans will never nominate him.
1:47 am
negativeneil

Hopefully not, westford. It's something I need to do all on my own.
1:47 am
jillibus

They just seem to ignore him -- too bad.
1:47 am
westford

how about a Palin/Bachman ticket?
1:47 am
jillibus

Ugh!
1:47 am
negativeneil

Exactly. He makes too much sense.
1:48 am
negativeneil

Bigger ugh!
1:48 am

a dream come true for Democrats
1:49 am

To paraphrase Lincoln (I think) -- God must love ignorant people -- he made so many of them.
1:49 am
negativeneil

If only.
1:49 am
negativeneil

I think sadly, you may be right jilli.
1:50 am
jillibus

What bugs me is that they CHOOSE to be ignorant and sneer at knowledge.
1:51 am
negativeneil

Yes, exactly.
1:52 am
negativeneil

As long as I live I'll never understand how anyone could be willfully ignorant.
1:52 am
rbud

ignorance is sometimes curable, unfortunately stupidity is not...
1:52 am
jillibus

And then some who should know better dumb down and pander to them
1:53 am
jillibus

but rbud, they resist cure.
1:54 am
negativeneil

No it isn't, most unfortunately.
1:54 am
jillibus

I can't forgive Anderson Cooper, a Yale grad and son of Gloria Vanderbilt and a good writer, for talking about people "laying" by the roadside in Haiti.
1:55 am
negativeneil

I can't "dumb down" for or to anyone. It would probably serve me better to sometimes but it's something I find impossible to do.
1:55 am
jillibus

Good, neil.
1:56 am
negativeneil

Oh, that's a common mistake I see people making... so common in fact, I think it's pretty accepted and people don't even notice it so much now. I'd ask "What were you laying, eggs or a carpet?"
1:56 am
jillibus

Me too, but I will NOT accept it.
1:57 am
negativeneil

Grammar nazi? ;)
1:57 am
jillibus

It's deliberate ignorance.
1:57 am
negativeneil

Or is that grammar police?
1:57 am
jillibus

Oh yes, grammar nazi.
1:57 am
negativeneil

No it isn't in every case. Some people don't realize it's incorrect.
1:57 am
negativeneil

Because they see and hear it so much.

We get TV anchors and such using it -- they whould be setting an example, but that's out of fashion, I think.
1:58 am
negativeneil

If everyone around you is using it, you may think it's correct... a lot of people don't know.
1:58 am
jillibus

*should
1:58 am
negativeneil

Oh probably.
1:59 am
negativeneil

But they probably don't realize it either.
1:59 am
negativeneil

I guess the networks need to hire grammar police... might be helpful.
1:59 am
jillibus

Definitely.
2:00 am
negativeneil

I had to study advanced English courses in college. I majored in Political Science and my minor was journalism. Ended up a journalist/photographer and vert part-time political writer. Go figure?
2:00 am
jillibus

Well, I've said my piece for today and should head for bed again, lol!
2:00 am
negativeneil

I've always enjoyed writing though.
2:01 am

2:02 am

2:02 am
negativeneil

Very, not vert. That's my exhaustion typing for me.
2:02 am
jillibus

I majored in Bacteriology and Biochemisty and ended up doing pastel portraits of children.
2:03 am
westford

yet another aspect of Jilli
2:03 am
jillibus

That was because I was a 50s stay-at-home housewife
2:04 am
westford

but think of all you have done..where is that best seller?
2:05 am
jillibus

westford

hi ruby
2:07 am
westford

I've been worried about your son and his wife
2:07 am
jillibus

west, now that I have a best-selling author as a neighbour and I see how hard he works I also see how daunting it is.
2:08 am
rubyfoo

{{jilli}} and thank you, westford
2:08 am
westford

maybe you and your grandson can collaborate
2:08 am
westford

what news ruby?
2:08 am
rubyfoo

've been obsessing about it, but we keep talking or mailing and he and his wife have a fire contingency plan, what they wilkl put in which car and where they will go....
2:09 am
jillibus

Don't worry about them, west. They'll muddle through. I'm stealing my son and taking him with me to Australia to meet mrp and some cousins of mine. Porbably in March.
2:09 am
rubyfoo

so far, the fires are about 5 miles away, on the other side of Austin
2:10 am
jillibus

Oh -- you were talking about ruby's son -- sorry!
2:10 am
westford

jilli how wonderful that you are going to Australia..I really have been out of the loop
2:10 am
rubyfoo

the problem is that his house is above a ravine in which the stream that runs through is totally dry and the trees are so much tinder
2:10 am
rubyfoo

the problem is that his house is above a ravine in which the stream that runs through is totally dry and the trees are so much tinder
2:10 am
westford

ruby to hear them tell it on the news all of Austin is in flames
2:11 am
jillibus

I see there's plenty to worry about in Texas.
2:11 am
westford

lol babble crossover..I was talking about your grandson too jilli he's quite a good writer from what I've read
2:11 am
rubyfoo

I haven't talked to him since Tuesday....no news from him this AM
2:11 am
rubyfoo

I is making me sick
2:11 am
negativeneil

Oh, you're an artist, jilli? See you're still not in bed. ;)
2:12 am
rubyfoo

[been busy answering some email]
2:34 am
rubyfoo

I'm on hold with bad, broken-up music
2:35 am
westford

sounds like the blues ruby
2:35 am
westford

hi again neil
2:35 am
rubyfoo

trying to get ducks in a row for husband's court case on Monday -- will it never be over?
2:36 am
rubyfoo

ever*
2:36 am
westford

I sure hope they throw the book at the dog's owner ruby
2:37 am
westford

I'm trying to remember how long ago it happened
2:38 am
rubyfoo

he was found guilty and had to pay ONLY 450 euros! This hearing is for damages, but we will be lucky if we recover expenses and lawyer's fees....and, hopefully, they will put the dog down. Imagine, after a year, the dog is still alive! That would never happen in the US!
2:38 am
rubyfoo

it was 30 July last year
2:38 am
flosey

hello again, took a break
2:38 am
rubyfoo

I have to go and get dressed, will see you later, westofrd (and neil?)
2:38 am
westford

hi flosey
2:38 am
rubyfoo

hello and bye flosey
2:39 am
rubyfoo

that's ford***
2:39 am
westford

bye ruby come back soon
2:39 am
flosey

oh Ruby, sorry to hear that court case is dragging on so long, very frustrating
2:39 am
rubyfoo

and husband is getting worse and worse, increasingly irritable and very frail
2:40 am
westford

I still get chills thinking about the dog actually eating the flesh and the owner doing nothing
2:41 am
flosey

poor hubby, ruby, under those situations I can't see how he can help but be very angry, irritable - very hard on you
2:52 am
westford

I just got the 9 listless
2:52 am
flosey

wet west
2:53 am
westford

that's a good way to describe it flosey lol
2:54 am
flosey

oops, sorry west, working on the w's
2:55 am
westford

that's okay I had a little giggle there
2:55 am
flosey

we did that today - was quite hot here, especially if you're running around
2:55 am
westford

cold and rainy here I stayed in
2:56 am
westford

I decided to stay for the week and all I have are summer clothes
2:57 am
westford

that's Maine for you
2:57 am
flosey

was running around a bit to find a going away gift for the daughter of friends who is going away to college in Hawaii - only child, and going so far!
2:58 am
westford

oh but how joyful for her..I wonder if she'll get any studying done
2:59 am
westford

I'll bet her parents are already planning a trip out there
2:59 am
westford

or are they going with her to get her settled
2:59 am
flosey

of course, she's a bright young lady, very sweet, open, a great pride for her parents, but will be empty nest!
3:00 am
flosey

no, they
3:00 am
westford

it's hard
3:00 am
flosey

they
3:00 am
flosey

they'll take her to airport
3:01 am
flosey

would be quite costly to take her there
3:01 am
westford

that's for sure
3:01 am
flosey

different if you could drive them
3:01 am
westford

I wouldn't recommend it lol
3:02 am
westford

did you find a present for her?
3:04 am
flosey

yes, we have a lovely jewellery store here, bought a pair of pearl earrings, and they put them in the prettiest box with a tiny gift bag/card
3:05 am
westford

oh that's perfect
3:05 am
flosey

I tested mom out before purchase, she suggested pearl
3:06 am
flosey

**suggested, or agreed, can't remember
3:07 am
westford

pearls can be dressed up or down
3:07 am
westford

that's our Megan's birthstone
3:08 am
westford

speaking of grandchildren how is William? Have you seen him lately?
3:08 am
flosey

true - very similar as the ones I wore on my wedding day (given to me by an old friend I had gone out with - strickly frendship)
3:08 am
flosey

I haven't seen him for a while
3:09 am
flosey

he was jabbering away one day so Sandy called and tried to get him to speak to me - nothing!
3:09 am
flosey

he hears a voice speaking to him and doesn't get it
3:09 am
westford

isn't that always the way?
3:09 am
flosey

yes, unfortunately
3:10 am
westford

we have been doing face time on our iphones with our 2 youngest
3:10 am
westford

they are 5 and 8 now
3:10 am
flosey

it isn't really convenient to go over just now, just hoping they'll get over here soon
3:10 am
westford

you had such a good time with both grandsons
3:12 am
flosey

yes, Nathan was very eager to meet William, his only cousin on his Dad's side
3:12 am
flosey

likewise with William's parents
3:13 am
westford

so nice they could all come out
3:13 am
westford

is Nathan already making plans to come by himself?
3:13 am
flosey

Nathan was talking about possibility of coming out next year and was happy when I suggested he bring a friend
3:14 am
flosey

they'd have a better time together
3:14 am
westford

perfect solution
3:14 am
westford

will you be going in October?
3:14 am
flosey

we'd rent them guitars so they could jam a bit - keep up their lessons
3:15 am
westford

that will be great
3:15 am
flosey

yes, not sure just when, depends on when the apples here need to be picked! Busy time here.
3:16 am
westford

how did the crop do this year?
3:16 am
flosey

as long as the apples are picked and stored, they can juice them when we come home
3:17 am
flosey

hopefully better than last, looks good - maybe this heat will ripen them sooner
3:17 am
westford

are they all cider apples?
3:18 am
flosey

oh no, we have a stone storehouse built into the hill, keep lots there, have juiced close to 100 L
3:18 am
flosey

don't make cider, we freeze the juice
3:18 am
westford

wow
3:19 am
westford

do you ever sell any of it or just give it away?
3:20 am
flosey

we still have a time-share back there, thinking of spending a few days up at Thornbury on Georgian Bay
3:20 am
westford

isn't that where crossy is?
3:20 am
flosey

we don't sell it, do give some away
3:21 am
flosey

yes, up past him
3:21 am
rubyfoo

back again, 114 words earlier.
3:21 am
rubyfoo

back again, 114 words earlier.
3:21 am
westford

maybe you can stop in for one of his breakfasts lol
3:21 am
rubyfoo

How are you, flosey
3:21 am
flosey

hi again ruby
3:21 am
rubyfoo

we all need to go to crossy's for breakfast!
3:22 am
flosey

would be nice to see him - even if just for a coffee
3:22 am
flosey

great thanks ruby
3:22 am
flosey

we pretty much avoid bacon
3:23 am
westford

I'd like to try his french toast
3:23 am
rubyfoo

home-made apple juice, wonderful!
3:24 am
rubyfoo

we have apples, but they're wormy because we can't use insecticide because of the pups
3:24 am
westford

our granddaughter and her boyfriend came up to visit and she had an "I love bacon" bumper sticker on her car
3:24 am
rubyfoo

aaah, French toast (or, as the French say, pain perdu)
3:24 am
flosey

we don't use any insecticides west
3:24 am
rubyfoo

how do you prevent the worms?
3:24 am
flosey

all natural, organic
3:25 am
flosey

don't seem to be too bothered with them
3:25 am
negativeneil

We've always avoided it, flosey. Which goes without saying.
3:25 am
rubyfoo

worms are the only thing I'm afraid of....
3:26 am
westford

hate worms
3:26 am
westford

but the little guys have to eat too
3:26 am
flosey

so you eat organically, neil?
3:26 am
negativeneil

Oh I'd be more afraid of a Burmese python. Google it... nasty things.
3:27 am
flosey

don't laugh - I have a ridiculous fear of snakes - this seems to be the year for them
3:27 am
negativeneil

As much as I can, yes. But that's not the main reason. ✡
3:28 am
rubyfoo

I don't mind snakes, spiders, bats, anything, just dopy little worms
3:28 am
negativeneil

Even worse than worms: maggots.
3:29 am
flosey

ah yes, hubby taught at a school in Ontario that was probably 75% jewish - it was considered the 'tough school'
3:29 am
flosey

was a joy to teach there
3:30 am
rubyfoo

I think we all have irrational fears....
3:31 am
rubyfoo

maggots --eeeewww
3:31 am
rubyfoo

but Burmese pythons, coming from Florida, the idea is really interesting but I don't think they're a danger to people as much as to the environment of the Everglades
3:33 am
flosey

when my brother was playing golf in Florida, he was warned to forget a ball if it went into the rough!
3:33 am
flosey

he actually saw aligators on the golf course
3:35 am
flosey

yes
3:35 am
rubyfoo

big ones?
3:35 am
flosey

he didn't say how big, it didn'
3:35 am
flosey

t keep him from playing
3:35 am
rubyfoo

people can't let their little dogs out because many of the new communities have lakes in which alligators live (like golf courses, too)
3:36 am
flosey

sorry, everytime I hit the apostrople i also hit enter - you'd think my little finger was a thumb
3:36 am
rubyfoo

but I think the pythons are so big that they eat alligators. They are farther into the swamp, though
3:36 am
rubyfoo

(I know the feeling, flosey)
3:37 am
flosey

I still have 102 words to find! but I better get to bed, at least I'll have time tomorrow
3:38 am
rubyfoo

bye flosey. don't dream of alligators or snakes!
3:38 am
flosey

can't promise but am sure it would wake me
3:39 am
flosey

goodnight now
3:42 am
westford

good night flosey I had to get a piece of apple pie
3:47 am
rubyfoo

hot apple pie with sweet cream!
3:48 am
westford

with a slice of cheddar
3:48 am
rubyfoo

when I was a little girl, after my father would close the store in summer, we would drive to Sheepshead Bay to Lundy's and have steamed clams and hot apple pie
3:48 am
westford

mmmm
3:48 am
rubyfoo

not ofte, only occasionally
3:49 am
rubyfoo

Are you a good baker, westford?
3:49 am
westford

our ex bil is from there
3:49 am
westford

not really our oldest daughter got the baking gene from hubby's mother
3:50 am
westford

I make a mean eclair though
3:50 am
rubyfoo

I could never make a proper crust (I think you need Crisco) so make French tarts instead
3:50 am
rubyfoo

do the eclairs use popover dough?
3:51 am
westford

not really..no milk
3:51 am
westford

yorkshire pudding does
3:51 am
rubyfoo

haven't had an eclair since I was a kid!
3:52 am
rubyfoo

husband doesn't eat sweets, so I've lost my baking ambition
3:52 am
westford

it's the stirring the flour into the melted butter a bit at a time
3:52 am
westford

mine would eat any and all sweets and he's pretty much the same size he was when we got married...I hate him
3:52 am
rubyfoo

do you bake bread?
3:53 am
westford

no but I want to start
3:53 am
rubyfoo

my husband has gotten so skinny that I wish he would eat sweets, but he refuses
3:53 am
westford

I have a nice stand mixer with a dough hook
3:54 am
westford

maybe you could tempt him with some hot cinnamon rolls right out of the oven
3:54 am
westford

can't you just smell them now?
3:54 am
rubyfoo

I have a great bread trick: buy Bridgeford frozen white bread, thaw it out, make it into long pieces and braid them. Then let rise, then sprinkle with olive oil and sea salt. Friends will think you made it from scratch and it's splendid
3:55 am
westford

Oh ruby that sounds scrumptious
3:55 am
rubyfoo

I used to make it for company and they were always knocked out and it's so easy!
3:56 am
rubyfoo

can't get it here, though, and local bread is tasteless
3:56 am
westford

oh I thought French bread was the best
3:57 am
rubyfoo

it's a myth (or a bubamisa as my mother would have said)
3:57 am
rubyfoo

{sp?]
3:58 am
westford

doesn't have much in it..we grew up on Jewish rye bread
3:58 am
rubyfoo

I was baking bread here but husband isn't interested
3:58 am
rubyfoo

<-- loves rye bread
3:59 am
westford

bake it for yourself then
3:59 am
westford

and give some to Luisa
3:59 am
rubyfoo

hahah, good idea!
3:59 am
westford

4:00 am
rubyfoo

she is wonderful and sings while she works!
4:00 am
rubyfoo

I am so lucky
4:00 am

4:01 am
westford

4:01 am
rubyfoo

4:02 am
westford

4:03 am
westford

4:03 am
rubyfoo

4:03 am
westford

must feel nice and cool to her
4:04 am
rubyfoo

4:04 am
westford

4:04 am

4:12 am
westford

westford

all this rain
4:12 am
rubyfoo

I've only been in Maine once or twice, never even spent a night there!
4:12 am
rubyfoo

that's what I've heard, and black flies?
4:12 am
westford

I would think the cold would wipe them out
4:13 am
westford

black flies are a Spring thing
4:13 am
rubyfoo

do you have a house up there?
4:13 am
westford

yes we do just a little place in Ogunquit
4:13 am
westford

4:13 am
rubyfoo

how lovely!
4:14 am
westford

we lost power during Irene so after sitting in RI in the dark for 2 days we headed up here
4:14 am
rubyfoo

I miss the warm ocean in Miami. The lake here is much too cold to ever go in
4:15 am
westford

the water here is freezing too but I like walking on the beach
4:15 am
westford

DH left yesterday and it's been pouring since
4:16 am
westford

I know what you mean about the warm ocean water in FL
4:16 am
rubyfoo

do you find interesting shells, rocks and/or driftwood? bottles with messages?
4:16 am
westford

not really they keep the beaches really clean
4:17 am
westford

and we have piping plovers that nest so we can't have fireworks anymore
4:18 am
westford

we have a tidal river though and the water there is nice to swim in
4:18 am
rubyfoo

I'll look them up in my bird book
4:19 am
rubyfoo

half!
4:20 am
westford

lol tell her to use peanut butter instead
9:29 am

i did
9:30 am

she's the one of the three of us with no pets... this is making her contemplate getting a cat
9:30 am
SeaSpray

or a cat
9:31 am
hurshy

i love my cats so in one way i recommended it but i am also hesitant about the idea of someone getting a cat just for the mouse problem, if they don't REALLY want a cat.
9:31 am

true, I wouldn't get one just for that purpose
9:31 am

re 6/18 to give in, or re + loaned someone money

hursh,tell her to put a dab of raw bacon in the trap,you can thread it right to the pin on the trap and have a higher chance of mice captures
9:32 am

at one time I had 2 cats and a dog, am now down to one cat and he is a mouser
9:33 am

is bacon your answer to EVERYTHING?!?!

Cats probably thought they were leaving you a real treasure, too.
9:42 am

real treat is missing it and laying your head in warm ,sticky mouse innards
9:43 am

You've actually done that?

so we kept the door closed after that

on the bright side, you can relate slightly more when you watch that scene from the beginning of empire strikes back
9:45 am

well,we needed the cat,we were in a old farm house right up against fields of wheat and it got so bad that one morning as i was putting tea on,i walked over to the toaster and was about to put some bread in it,when a mouse stuck his head up out of one of the toaster slots
9:46 am

never seen the movie
9:47 am

never seen...!\

9:48 am
hurshy

?!?!!?!?!?!!!
9:48 am
crosshair

oh yes,just cleaned it well
9:48 am
crosshair

if i tossed everything that a mouse had been in or on,the house would of been empty
9:48 am
negativeneil

You could clean the inside of it well enough? A regular toaster, you can't open to get into the slots.
9:49 am
negativeneil

Man. Your home was infested!
9:49 am
crosshair

90% of toasters the entire bottom swings open
9:49 am
crosshair

and older ones the sides open right up
9:49 am
negativeneil

Yes, but the slots are still too narrow to get into to clean... I find.
9:49 am
negativeneil

Unless it's a camp toaster or toaster oven.
9:50 am

and remember,heat sterilizes,just make sure there is no poop or mouse bodies in there when you fire it up
9:50 am

*cringe*
9:51 am

You'd have roast mice.
9:51 am

Might be a delicacy... for the cat.
9:51 am
crosshair

and we had the biggest collection of kitchen cannisters hehe,EVERYTHING that was a dry food product went into cannisters
9:52 am
crosshair

everythign was sealed in tin,glass or cans
9:52 am
negativeneil

Oh yeah. You would've had to seal everything in jars, cannisters, etc.
9:52 am
negativeneil

Haha, snap.
9:52 am
crosshair

a box of cerial under the cupboard would not have lasted the night
9:52 am
negativeneil

No shit.
9:53 am

No it isn't for sure private. In fact, there's no such thing as a "private" FB page, no matter how privately you think you've set it. That's why I've emptied my page out there and do nothing on there anymore. I only had that account for connecting with my college alumni... I don't add anyone else. I'm only leaving my dead page there, until they're all moved over to G+.
12:38 pm

part of my interview was they asked why i wanted the job and i said i need to earn money
7:14 pm
MPittore

jmc...another good anwser would be that you were looking to enhance your financial portfolio and were looking for something that matched your skills and that would satisfy your desire to work for an office that you would be of value to and saw their solicitation and realized what a match it would be to work with them.....
7:17 pm
dcseain

7:31 pm
periwinkle

My mom did lots of cross stitch. she tried to get me to do it. I hated it
7:31 pm
jillibus

I never took home ec OR shop -- just academic stuff
7:32 pm
JBV

we did not have any of that in my school, I also learned to type from my mom - she dug out her old typing manual and I banged away on one of those ancient typewriters with the round keys, an antique now
7:32 pm
MPittore

I am so behind in what is going on in babbleland...my husband got sick in March..ended up with a diagnosis of small-cell lung cancer extensive stage with mets to liver...started chemo 6/20 completed his forth round last week...had CT Wed to see if 50% shrinkage...prognosis not good...50% live 10-13 months w/ treatment...will probably have whole brain radiation 15 treatments...I am afraid...I so wanted to grow old with him...now everything is different...we now have a new normal and make plans to enjoy every day that we are given with each other...oh, sometimes we are like everyone else...we fight...argue...but we know to go on and the real fight is for his life and that is what matters...the rest is just crap that happens and not important!
7:32 pm
hurshy

i took home ec, wood shop, architectural drafting, robotics, typing...
7:32 pm
jillibus

but I did take typing and shorthand -- the first i"m grateful for, the second was Pitman and a link with my grandfather I only recently discovered.
7:33 pm
JBV

oh, MP, so very sorry to hear that...
7:33 pm
hurshy

i'm so sorry, MPittore
7:33 pm

You are both facing a very difficult challenge , do everything you can to "stay normal" as you said, and stay positive
7:33 pm
jmcnrick

ooo poor mp i understand some of what you are going through except i never expected to grow old with my hubby as he had had 3 brain tumor surgeries before i met him
7:33 pm
jillibus

Omg, MPitt, I remember when you got that diagnosis. So sorry the prognosis is not good.
7:33 pm
jmcnrick

hang in there mp and know there is a safe place here in babbleland
7:34 pm
MPittore

yep...but there is always hope and you as my dad used to say you can cry because you have no shoes but then you can see that some have no feet....so things can always be worse...some never have the years and happiness we have....
7:35 pm
jmcnrick

there you go mp you have had good times and some here in babbleland only have bad memories
7:35 pm

may I ask why brain radiation if cancer is lung/liver? if you don't care to go into it, I understand
7:38 pm

school was good today--hoping a friend from school will join us in babbleland tonight
7:38 pm

7:39 pm
jmcnrick

brb
7:39 pm
lbdawger

i was wondering when that was going to happen. have you talked to the instructor about not doing the high ropes?
7:44 pm
MPittore

oh I don't mind talking about anything but it was sweet of you to be so thoughtful...this cancer loves to sneek up to the brain and strike w/ a vengeance then the lung cancer in the brain is very nasty to live with...they try to give you the best life possible for as long as possible but this cancer loves to attack the major organs...it is very aggresive and fast growing so they try to keep it at bay. The radiation is a prophylactic treatment.
7:46 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

MPittore, you and your husband will receive many prayers.
7:47 pm
MPittore

oops marching off to penalty box looking for dark chocolate....
7:47 pm

I don't know what else to say except I hope you will be strong for him and that you will have the support you need -
7:48 pm
jmcnrick

the high ropes are apparently optional so i am okay with the other stuff.
7:49 pm
jmcnrick

now is a good time to remind people about folding@home for cancer and other medical research
7:49 pm
MPittore

gapeach...indeed we have many prayers going all over the world...we feel like we are going to be lucky in dealing with this disease...we told his doctor that we were going to be in that tiny percentage that makes it five years and more....we just know that for some reason. He is doing really well so far compared to others at his stage so that is good.
7:51 pm
MPittore

I am lucky that I am such a strong woman...it has helped me all my life...sometimes I get tested but I know I can make it and be there for him and so does he. You can never let the cancer be in control....we fight it hard, it is our life to live.
7:52 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

I lost a son-in-law to cancer several years back. He had the first bout in his 20's and several more in subsequent years....he lived to be 68 with a fairly good quality of life. My daughter kept him busy....vacations and cruises. I don't think he would have made it as long as he did if he had'nt

MPittore

Joes tumor causes him to have low sodium which is serious in itself...it effects the brain and when it gets low it's like instand onset alzheimers and insanity all at the same time....we decided it was amusing so we joke about it and the funny things he says and does....once while he was in the hospital and I ran home to get clean clothes (because I stayed with him every day/night) he callled me up and said come get him they were trying to kill him and I was the only one who could save him...by the time I got there he had cussed everyone out and told them to go to hell that I was coming...we all had a big laugh over it because it was the last thing anyone would expect him to do...
8:00 pm
JBV

it looks like it ends with a biblical pronoun but with semivowel
8:02 pm
jmcnrick

haha my hubby said a few confused things too and we adopted the detrich bonhoffer stance: there is nothing in this life that is so serious that it doesn't have an element of humor in it
8:02 pm
JBV

funny afterwards, but probably not when it's happening, hopefully hospital staff knows how to deal with it ....
8:02 pm

He 4/5 is a story of clues. I think I did not de 4/5 my cards right because I'm not a we7/56 person.If I had de 5/12 my cards right,I would be a doctor or lawyer with much we6/33. However, I think people would be very le5/14 of hiring me as their doctor since I know nothing about medicine. I'm glad I am not a doctor or lawyer because th 4/5 I wouldn't have the job I have now and I ado/45 my job. Th5/12 is no ot5/12 job I'd want to have. Some students are so sw5/18,they me 4/5 my heart.Some students can be a re4/4 pain too They te4/4 my patience.I've had my patience te6/21 on many occassions.However,I love th4/6 anyway. I am so glad Mother st7/32 me into the right direction and convinced me to become a teacher. My husband is done listening to music on the st6/18. He wants to use this laptop.He's going to be a wa 6/30 & wa 5/18 his time playing Farmville. I'm going to go get a snack that I can sink my te 5/12 into and watch Conan the Dest5/14er or Tr4/6 for the re4/4 of the night.Hope you we 4/8 able to find some more words. Goodnight!

Played it at all? For it is fun
10:09 pm

Jess just for you (about Alaska) Brooke Collins of Juneau Alaska, punched a large black bear in the snout to save her dachshund, Fudge. Admitting she was stupid to do it, she said it was the first thing she thought of. The startled bear dropped the dog and run off into the bush. Lady 1 Bear 0.

I've never punched a bear and don't plan on it anytime soon. I did go scuba diving in Thailand though. Found a shark. Punched it in the nose and exclaimed, YOUR REIGN OF TERROR. IS. OVER. [underwater of course]
