had just started putting words in here...and a few didn't go..so thought it was this site....then dvr program i was watching froze....so tried resetting everything and couldn't get anything to go...so picked up the phone to call the cable company and that was dead too.....
2:07 am
VolleymomDee
bet that was a shock. Usu when I don't have cable, my internet is out, too; you are / were lucky.
2:08 am

you are right volley.....middle of U.S. arb..kansas
2:21 am

Amazing how many cities/districts do not have proper road equipment for their weather. Including, I might add, Jerusalem, which when it snows every 2-3 years is totally grid-locked
2:22 am
VolleymomDee
I bet, and I had no clue you ever had snow
2:23 am
dart001
coming from a city/state that has a harsh winter..and people know how to live and exist in it...might be interesting here if we get a big snow
2:24 am
VolleymomDee
You'll have to give them some tips :)
2:24 am
ARB
Sure. Jerudalem, Safed and a few other high points get some snow occassionally. The Golan Heights and Mt. Hermon (on the border with Jordan, Levbanon and Syria, is snow capped in the winter and even has some skiing.
2:25 am
KatieMcG
if we get 2 inches of snow the whole of England grinds to a halt - they are much better in scotland
2:25 am

i'll be staying off the roads...unless i have to.....(what a change from before where i was a "necessary" employee)

The first is a celebration barbecue on Saturday 30 June - you'll hear more about this on Sunday. This is an event for the whole church. We will be making a charge to cover meat and bread but I was wondering if the catering team would take care of the salads and desserts.
The second is the Wilnecote Fun Day at the high school on Sunday 12 August. The church is going to run a small refreshments area and I'm looking for people to help out to serve teas and coffees and also to supply cakes.
2:38 am
KatieMcG
this was the only email I got from her Mum, the other one might be about alpha. Do you want to forward it to me and see if I can do it.

im doing ok. ready for the weekend, though!
new job, even though im not even doing it full-time yet, is exhausting!

Did you get that promotion?
7:49 am
car.eeyore
C'mon weekend.....
7:52 am
EvaNadine
pretty much, yes! the gal hasnt full left yet (shes doing half-time here + half-time at her new gig through the end of next week) so im pretty much doing the job the majority of the time + they have put in requests to move me to my new office + get me a blackberry + whatnot.
but i STILL havent heard what my new salary will be...
7:52 am
car.eeyore
$1,000,000,000
7:53 am
trentsnana
Congrats! It's always fun to start a new job (somewhat nerve-wracking, too), but a change of pace is always good for the brain. Hope you get a nice raise.
7:53 am
EvaNadine
i wish YOU were making that call, then, car!
7:53 am
crosshair
ok kitten clip, is up on my wall now for those who wish to see amos and cha-cha battling it out
7:54 am
EvaNadine
the new position is definitely a lot more work and stress than the old one, but im hoping things calm down a bit once it becomes more second-nature to me. i know the team wasnt thrilled with the gal who is leaving... she has a tendency to be self-centered and has the emotional stability of a roller-coaster. i think im much more even-keeled and i know the customer comes first and i want my team to shine, not me.
7:56 am
trentsnana
Good for you, Eva. Sounds like a good attitude. My last promotion was really scary for me, but in no time I was feeling comfortable and was so glad I put in for it. It was much better money and I ended up with a better pension because of it.
7:59 am
car.eeyore
And now I must go....I wish you all a GREAT day! {{hugs}} to all!
7:59 am
trentsnana
Same to you, car.
7:59 am
EvaNadine
im scared poop-less of change in general. i never feel comfortable with it. but i know its necessary, and i KNOW the heftier paycheck will help out at home.
i have worked here for over 11 years, and i have history on the team i will be managing, so its not like i will be starting from zero. i just hope the customers all remember that i havent been managing forever...heh
8:05 am

Well, good luck, Eva. It sounds like you have the right attitude and I think you will do fine! Bye everyone, gotta go get some packing done for the camping trip. Have a great weekend.

so yesterday i had to post these fliers encouraging us to reduce energy use. it said yale's energy use = 95% of what greenland uses. yikes. but then they suggest we turn off our computers when we leave - but they back up at night and if we turn them off, they won't. they suggest we adjust our heat a few degrees - but the heat and cooling in our building is so poorly done that if we try to mess with it it can get waaaay off.
8:55 am

I read something about the carbon footprint of the average american household pet. Egad.
8:55 am
Judi
Ah, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, Hurshy. Besides, the population of Greenland is about 45 (not counting the wildlife), so Yale shouldn't feel so bad.
8:56 am
hurshy
then i thought, i should point out to the sustainability office, who made these fliers, the thing about the backup, which would apply to everyone, not just my dept. but their website is down so i don't know how to contact them.

Using a list is not all that bad.

5:05 pm

neither of those. Lickety wrote some software which is available to us for the asking. A lovely program that combines his clue list and Babble...makes using his list v ery very fast. You should ask MrPresident for it via email
5:06 pm
lynxxx
Are you OK Bichon? or have you just been looking at this grid too long?
5:06 pm
bichon
it seems like forever. Even with the list
5:06 pm
hokie carla
Oh, I do use the Lickety list whenever available, and I think I do recall what you are talking about being in a beta stage back when I quit playing a few years ago, but no, I don't have it.

I have just listed - still 120 to go. Didn't seem like such a hard grid until this point

planters and pots are wonderful neil -- invest in those bulb things that hold water and dispense it as needed via wicking... otherwise a single hot day can do your plants in *said with experience*

the nice thing about pots is you can tailor the soil specifically to each plant. So even though I have a 30x30 foot veggie garden the tomatoes are going in three HUGE pots, and many of my bulbs and tender perennials are also in pots.

mmmm. cilantro. Keep the mint in pots... it WILL take over and send runners out into any adjacent soils. I will NEVER get rid of the chocolate mint (which I am now allergic to) in my lawn. Unless I dig the whole lawn and burn it. *sigh*

I used to have raspberries, but my neighbor accidentally falled some trees on them. Will replant, hopefully in the autumn.
10:16 pm
stidmama
nope. spearmint will spread. MINT spreads. end of story. *knowing nod* it creeps over, under and around traditional barriers like metal, brick, wood or open space. It's sneaky... but at least it smells nice!

In Virginia, my parents planted peppermint near the garbage cans so that area smelled better. A brilliant plan. LARGE stretches of pavement and houses in the way do seem to slow down its spread (somewhat)

i figured the kiddos would like to eat it - they munch the chives out in the flower beds, so this might freshen their breath after! LOL
10:18 pm
firefly779
it's a tall rectangular planter, on the patio, but i'll keep an eye on the stuff and keep it trimmed UP
10:22 pm

Yeah I bet stidmama. And we get some fierce heat here in summer. Not a lot of direct sun though... shaded by trees on the street.
10:24 pm
negativeneil
Tomatoes would be good to grow... we eat a lot of them. Wonder if bell peppers would do well in pots?
10:24 pm
firefly779
this grid is just not my friend today - i thought with the nearly 300 words it'd be fun, but it kind of isn't
10:24 pm

any kind of peppers should do fine, neil

I'd like to grow them because they can be pricey.
10:25 pm

Unless you go to farmer's markets.
10:25 pm

mmm, fresh bell peppers are the BEST - my kids eat them like apples straight off the plant. i could see them in a pot...need a little fertilizer, lots of water
10:25 pm

in the planter the mint should be okay, but watch for the stolons to show up nearby. They are easy to pull in soil that doesn't get walked on.
10:26 pm
stidmama
sweet dreams jes
10:26 pm
firefly779
the plants don't take up a ton of space either
10:26 pm
stidmama
neil, check territorial seeds for peppers, they have good advice on planting. I am thinking some of the smaller peppers might do really well in pots
10:27 pm
firefly779
well, the patio has a border of lava rock (for drainage from the roof) and then the lawn...
10:29 pm
stidmama
I bet your home is lovely firefly. So far, we still have the wood stoops that came with the house. And I have plans/dreams for little porches and sitting areas...
10:30 pm
firefly779
we made the roof overhang to cover the patio, so the entire back side of the house is covered patio - only thing is we're right above the wildlife refuge pond, which means mosquitoes...we don't sit on the patio past dusk :( lots of wasps during the day, so it can be tricky out there
10:32 pm

Thanks stid and firefly. Will have to look into that.
