4:10 am
crosshair

i mean our living room is not a cat palace filled with broken and rusting junk,but they are working on it
5:13 am
andrew in drag
rather you than me, Crossy! that sounds adorable, but I find keeping up with one little dog wears me out.
5:13 am
crosshair
our 6 year old cat hides in the bedroom all day now lol
5:13 am
crosshair
andrew,it is exactly like a young child who can just start to walk around and is getting into everything
5:14 am
crosshair
the wife and i sleep in shifts
5:15 am
crosshair
he is due to get fixed very shortly,maybe that will calm him down a tad
5:15 am
crosshair
lol,know it slowed me down for a few weeks when i got fixed ten years ago:))
5:15 am
andrew in drag
haha! I just have my little Schatzi...he has a taste for danger. Whenever I walk him he always tries to drag me towards the bad neighbourhoods.
5:16 am
crosshair
sure ,blame it on the pet
5:16 am
andrew in drag
hahaha! he's only a little chihuahua, but he's laughably determined.
5:17 am
crosshair
you need a dog like my brother had,a great big bull mastiff.thing is the size of a pony
5:18 am
crosshair
paws the size of a sandwich plate
5:18 am
andrew in drag
lol...but then it would fill up my whole flat, and I'd have nowhere to sleep :P
5:18 am
andrew in drag
that's why I got Schatzi. He's a pint-sized pup to fit in my pint-sized living space!
5:19 am
crosshair
why you sleep on the couch of course cause the dog stole your bed
5:19 am
andrew in drag
lol...I have no couch...would have to make a doggy mattress
5:20 am
crosshair
ugh 06:15,time to see where kitty has gone off to
5:21 am
andrew in drag
good luck ;) see you around!
5:21 am
crosshair
whew! calmly sitting on window bird watching
5:21 am
crosshair
small place also andrew
5:22 am
andrew in drag
as long as he is bird watching, and not bird stalking or bird eating ;)
5:22 am
crosshair
1100 sq feet,but at least i do not have to pack a lunch for a trip to the other end of the place
5:22 am
crosshair
inside cats only here andrew,we have a healthy coyote population
5:23 am
crosshair
they would love nothing better than a kitty snack
5:24 am
andrew in drag
lol Crossy! the smaller the better, if you ask me. I grew up with five sisters in a two-bedroom house...I couldn't handle a big place if I tried!
5:25 am
crosshair
indeed,son is older now and testing his wings,so we are getting rid of decades of crap and trying to live more minimalist
5:26 am
andrew in drag
haha! you do make me laugh. so irreverent :P
5:27 am
andrew in drag
we could use a little irreverence in the UK at the moment. too much jubilee.
5:27 am
crosshair
well you are young yet.you would not believe the junk that accumulates over 20-30 years.it is insane
5:28 am
crosshair
opened the closet the other day and hauled out 5! old video game systems.they are earmarked for the next yard sale
5:29 am
andrew in drag
true. now that I have my own place, I'm enjoying filling it up with kitsch!
5:30 am
crosshair
not to worry andrew,i just tend to ramble on about this and that and toss out my musings
5:31 am
crosshair
lol@ kitsch..we have more "dust collectors" per sq foot in this place...
5:31 am
andrew in drag
oh no, I find it entertaining! I live a very, very quiet life, so I get a real thrill from experiencing different people. I suppose I should get out more...!
5:33 am
crosshair
funny,i am just finishing up a 30 year stint in the public service industry,was always out there as it were.now i cannot wait to get in and surround myself with my own calm pleasures,my music ,my books,walks on the mountain
5:35 am
crosshair
now i take great delight in inclemant weather because now it is someone else out there getting frozen,or wet or baked in the searing heat and not me:)
5:35 am
crosshair
spent an hour sitting on the covered patio yesterday watching the rain pound down and smiling:)
5:35 am
andrew in drag
hahaha! we have a word for that in German, you know...Schadenfreude :P
5:36 am
crosshair
lol,i know the word
5:37 am
andrew in drag
there's nothing wrong with it. shameful joy might even be the best joy :P
5:37 am
andrew in drag
oops, I should change my flag back, now I'm home...
5:37 am
crosshair
ahh wheres home?
5:39 am
andrew in drag
ah, London is home for me now - I was visiting family in Germany recently though. It is quite a shocking place to see again though. It doesn't feel like home anymore, really. It's so bleak!
5:39 am
crosshair
sometimes you cannot go home again.the world moves on and we see with different eyes
5:40 am
crosshair
woah..that was nice and deep,best get a tea:)
5:40 am
andrew in drag

5:50 am
rubyfoo

crosshair

seems even paradise can pale ruby.he says he like myself tower over the locals,and you never ever blend in.and there are customs and the different foods and the exotic birds yammering just outside your window every day at 4 am,and the 3 month rainy season where any little cut can lead to massive infection
5:54 am
andrew in drag
not to mention the insects!!
5:54 am
rubyfoo
never thought of it that way, crossy, but at leat I would feel tall (or at least avarage-sized)
5:55 am
crosshair
indeed!
5:55 am
crosshair

5:55 am
crosshair
he had a house maid,when he asked her how much per hour she wanted and she said 2 dollars,he was so surprised he paid her 4 per hour
5:56 am
rubyfoo
I have become a fan of local bees, speaking of insects. We have beautiful VERY large ones called Bourdon, and when they come in the house, I have learned to rescue them and take them back outside. They are to beautiful to kill
5:56 am
crosshair
he lived like a king down there on his pay in u.s dollars
5:56 am
rubyfoo
just like France, LOL
5:56 am
rubyfoo
the USD is worth zippo
5:56 am
crosshair
lol,ruby,france is painfully expensive
5:57 am
rubyfoo
but, of course, London is even more expensive
5:57 am
rubyfoo
we were lucky to buy the house when the dollar was worth so much
5:57 am
crosshair
even here,we hear about those little eateries down by the eifel tower and the 17 dollar bowl of strawberries
5:57 am
rubyfoo
we could never have afforded it otherwise
5:58 am
rubyfoo
chez moi, crossy, you could eat strawberries for free until you turned totally pink!

Introduced in the late 1960’s, flower-flavored PEZ was designed to appeal to the hippie generation—complete with a groovy, psychedelic dispenser. But even in the decade of free love, no love could be found for the flavor power of flowers.
6:02 am
rubyfoo
there used to be a violet-flavored candy which wasn't so bad, but then I was a hippie-dippy, too
6:03 am
crosshair

6:24 am
crosshair

never knew Toyotas grew on plants. Wow.
6:28 am
hokie carla
I'm okay at converting distances due to 5K running, but I had a hard time when we went to Canada with speeds. kmph v. mph
6:28 am
Frances
Oops! Hi sprite. Are you well?
6:29 am
hokie carla
luckily both are on the speedometer. ;-)
6:29 am
sprite
well enough, Frances. And you?
6:29 am
crosshair
lol hokie,just do not do 50mph in a 50kmp zone or you will get a ticket
6:29 am
Frances
Not too bad thanks. Hating this weather.#
6:29 am

I usually do it roughly... one mile = 1,5 km. More or less.
6:29 am
sprite
yeah... we want our sun back, don't we!
6:30 am
bichon
Euro has bad weather too?
6:30 am
crosshair
did you know that when we build cars for the U.S we put mph on the outside of the gauge,but here we put the kph on ihe outside
6:30 am
Frances
Sun back and a lot less rain.
6:30 am
bichon
Last Monday it was wicked hot here, over 90F
6:30 am
hokie carla
yes, I did notice that. makes sense, though.
6:31 am
sprite
very. We go up and down per day. One day 27 degrees (!) celcius and the next only 10. One day very sunny, next rain rain and more rain. My son is ill now. Severe cold, due to the quick changes and gotten himself drained in cold rain without a coat.
6:31 am
hokie carla
bichon, it was beautiful here Sat. and was supposed to be high 81 yesterday, but it felt like 91 to me.
6:31 am
bichon
I think our Toyotas have both gauges
6:32 am

6:32 am

indeedydeed, crossy. :)
6:32 am

6:33 am

ej5/22 I think
6:33 am
hokie carla
it's about to get really hot here and stay that way all summer. :-(
6:33 am
sprite
and related 7/56
6:34 am
hokie carla
flip side, though, we have been swimming in our pool off & on since March.
6:34 am
sprite
we could do with a bit more sun and warmth here.
6:35 am
hokie carla
7:35am and 63 degrees. No idea what that is in celsius. :-)
6:35 am
bichon
that sounds nice hokie
6:35 am
xeiluj
And here, four days off and nothing but rain!!
6:35 am
Uncover
record heat here in Utah. May reach 100 F today
6:36 am
hokie carla
high is supposed to be 85.
6:36 am
sprite
that is about 17 celcius. Not very hot.
6:36 am
sprite
ouch Uncover, that is not pleasant!
6:36 am
Anniebrook
and here it will not get over 60 degrees today
6:36 am
hokie carla
ugh, uncover - stay inside!
6:37 am
bichon
but it's a dry heat. Here in CT when it gets hot it's a steam bath
6:37 am
Anniebrook
I have been trying to find the an8 for ages..anyone have a clue?
6:37 am
sprite
85 F is about 30 C
6:37 am
hokie carla
I've heard both arguments for that, bichon.
6:37 am
sprite
not yet, sorry Annie
6:38 am
Anniebrook
but thanks, sprite
6:38 am
hokie carla
It also gets very steamy in NC. Humidity only 55% today, though.
6:38 am
hokie carla
they're calling for a thunderstorm tonight anyway, though.
6:38 am
sprite
oh... there it is. It ends in a place, or a web page.
6:38 am
Anniebrook
I finally found it...ask and ye shall find
6:39 am
bichon
You probably have central AC hokie. We only have window units
6:39 am
sprite
lol... you and me both, Annie! Thank you for telling me it was there.
6:39 am
hokie carla
yep, thank goodness
6:39 am
Uncover
It is not that it is so terribly hot, it is that it is so hot this early in the year. We normally do not get temp like this until the end of July
6:39 am
Anniebrook
thanks sprite and youre welcome
6:39 am
sprite
climate changes all over the world, Uncover.
6:40 am
hokie carla
when I was a kid in the mountains of SW Virginia, we did not have AC. We hung out in the unfinished basement most of the summer and loved it when the bookmobile came.
6:40 am
Uncover
yep, all the time. then, just to make it worse, they post grids full of u and e
6:41 am
sprite
almost nobody here has AC. We would only ne4 it for a couple of weeks a year. Our car has it though (first time we have one with AC) and when it is very hot, it is a blessing.
6:41 am
hokie carla
but sometimes now the AC chills me to the bone. I will go out in the garage to get something and think how good it feels out there.
6:41 am
sprite
lol Uncover... yeah, very vowely grid today.
6:41 am
Uncover
We cool our home here in Salt Lake with a swamp cooler, works very well
6:42 am
hokie carla
I have a friend heading out tomorrow to Sandy, UT, for a few weeks. I hope her family has AC or even a swamp cooler. ;-)
6:43 am
Uncover
wow, that is my town, and I would guess they will be okay
6:44 am
hokie carla
I always rem. it because it was the town in Big Love.
6:45 am
bichon
Ah, yes, Sandy. Remember Big Love.
6:45 am
bichon
How does a swamp cooler work?
6:45 am
sprite
cools the home, but turns it into a swamp in the process.
6:46 am
Uncover
you trickle water down pads, and a fan inside sucks air through the pads
6:46 am
hokie carla
I think I have read about it before, but probably on wiki, so it may or may not be true.
6:46 am
hokie carla
yes, that's pretty much what I read.
6:46 am
Uncover
the evaporating water will lower the temp by quite a bit
6:47 am
bichon
I see it's only for areas with low humidity. Definitely not for here
6:47 am
hokie carla
anybody have the last i?
6:47 am
hokie carla
never mind
6:47 am
hokie carla
how about the other i?
6:47 am
sprite
lol... yes I do... and so do you now
6:47 am
bichon
I'm looking for it too
6:47 am
Uncover
Right Bichon, only low humidity places get much use
6:48 am
hokie carla
never mind again
6:48 am
sprite
they mean the same thing
6:48 am
hokie carla
I should just ask and then find all of them.
6:48 am
sprite
hahahaha hokie!
6:49 am

6:49 am

8:47 am
rubyfoo
from being an auntie or from life in general?
8:48 am
rubyfoo
phantom: dancer
8:48 am
hurshy
no, auntie-ism not stunning. i am stunned because i applied for a job that i thought they would not even consider me for, but one of my bosses just told me that they called him for a rec and told him that they are likely to interview me.
8:48 am

a rare BR sighting. Hi there.
9:03 am
hurshy
i just wondered cause we saw a NZ contestant on a cooking show and my husband referred to him as australian and i was like, um, no, and he said it really didn't make a difference.
9:03 am
grannyrose
new zealanders speak with a more english accecnt to us..a bit bewildering at first, then you get used to it
9:03 am
hurshy
i wonder if NZ people mind more, because their country is smaller.
9:04 am
hego
maybe not to him Hursh.
9:04 am
hurshy
i just feel like NZ people i have known in the past did mind, and this contestant had said specifically that he had never cooked with barramundi BECAUSE it was an australian fish.
9:06 am
grannyrose
hurshy, having met groovy kiwi and her partner, no, i personally don't have a problem. plus my son's mother-in-law is a kiwi...absolutely no conflict there
9:06 am
hurshy
so it's not like the french and the english :)
9:07 am
grannyrose
nah...we are too close....besides we speak the same language, just with a different accent
9:08 am
hurshy
kiwi is a fun word
9:09 am
hego
is it a maori word?
9:10 am
grannyrose
lol, refers to a native bird of new zealand. they probably call us koalas, or roos, or platypi. * makes no difference to me, personally*
9:10 am

7:21 pm
Jacula
de6/39 - you might feel this (with 'ed' addeded to the end) if you're a bit depressed and disappointed.
7:21 pm

Hi there bugsaw!
8:05 pm
Jillyjill
((hugs))
8:06 pm
stidmama
Jac, my very dear friend! how goes your garden? I was walking yesterday and there were ripe salmonberries in our yard down by the road -- they are a native plant, gorgeous pink blossoms, and the nicest yellow berries, like a raspberry, but not as much flavor.
8:06 pm
stidmama
BUGS!!! (((bugs hugs)))
8:06 pm
Bugsaw
how close are you to finishing?
8:06 pm
Bugsaw
hey stid. Are you still having fun at school?
8:08 pm
stidmama
LOL mostly, bugs -- had a very difficult class last week at one school and today had its challenges, but mostly I do okay and the kids do okay and even have a little fun and learn a bit. I am fortunate that in most schools the adminsitrators are very willing to support the "guest teachers"
8:09 pm
Jacula
Hiya Stid. My garden's doing very well so far, except for a large part of the very big pergola collapsing 2 nights ago. Luckily, all the rotten top beams went into the middle and did no more damage than breaking a plastic pot and a plastic table. The greenhouse, the sheds and the plants weren't hit. Still can't believe how lucky we are that no one was standing under it at the time.
8:09 pm
Bugsaw
I had another bad day today and one of the teachers who has been teaching since forever told me they were the worst set of kids he had ever had to teach. He was so kind to give me permission to spend the last 3 weeks in the LA room. YAY for him.
8:10 pm
Bugsaw
oh yuck Jac. What a job that will be to repair
8:10 pm
Jacula
Stid - haven't heard of salmonberries, but they sound nice. My raspberry canes are multiplying and doing very well.
8:11 pm
stidmama
Oh, I am so glad no one was hurt -- and it sounds as if you can at least recover part of the structure for reuse. I always think of your lovely garden and hope it is doing well. I will load a pic of the salmonberries "toute suite!"
8:11 pm
Jillyjill
---> sparkles<---
8:11 pm
stidmama
Bugs, there is a rash of "this class is the hardest ever" going around -- different ages at different schools, but every school seems to have at least one group of kids that are particularly challenging to keep safe and productive.
8:11 pm
stidmama
YAY jilly!!!!
8:11 pm
Jacula
Well done Jillyjill!
8:12 pm
Jacula
Bug - it'll get done in the fullness of time.
8:12 pm
Jillyjill
*half bow*...not too proud of the few I struggled with...
8:13 pm
Bugsaw
I think the biggest problem is that the kids are done emotionally with school and now is when the teachers are turning on the juice to get things done. It is a lot of pressure
8:14 pm
Jacula
Re the bad class of the school - there's always one and always has been. It's usually either 3rd year high school or 5th year high school. Can't remember the modern way school years are counted now. Kids between 13-16.
8:15 pm
Bugsaw
those are the ages I work with all the time Jac. 14 years are definately the worst. They think they are so grown up so they want more independence than is safe.
8:16 pm
Jillyjill
Yep Jacq....I term that age group "toddlers on hormones"....
8:17 pm
Jacula
Good description, Jilly!
8:19 pm
stidmama
yep, that's my most challenging age, bugs -- LOL it's when the BOYS in the group start to catch up to the girls, physically.
8:19 pm
Jacula
Science has proved that kids that age can't actually help themselves. Their emotional and cognitivebrain parts are evolving at different levels and don't match up with their body growth or their flood of hormones.
8:20 pm
Jacula
The clumsiness thing comes into play then for the same reason.
8:21 pm
Bugsaw
try telling akid that Jacula. They know everything. One kid in Grade 9 English class told me,"I know I am supposed to write a paragraph but I don't do paragraphs."
8:21 pm
Jacula
Boys are about three years behind girls intellectually and emotionally.
8:21 pm
Bugsaw
so I suggested that we start with a sentence or two and he said he didn't do sentences either.
8:21 pm
Jillyjill
LOL bugs...I can hear that one!
8:22 pm
stidmama
What did he end up doing, then?
8:23 pm
Jacula
Bug - I have a 17-year-old here, not my own daughter but my stepdaughter. Unfortunately, due to things in her past she's a bit wonky and is anything between 7-14 intellectually, but her body tells her she's older.
8:23 pm
stidmama
Jac, I loaded a new icon
8:23 pm
Jacula
stid - I was going to ask about that, too. Did he add a word or two at a time?
8:24 pm
Bugsaw
He got the talk about how to play the game. You can't play soccer using baseball rules even if you want to so, just in English class we have to do sentences and paragraphs if that is the assignment.
8:24 pm
Jacula
Stid - I see your new icon and it looks familiar, except I've seen them with red spikey cases.
8:24 pm
stidmama
good for you!
8:24 pm
Bugsaw
there is more to the talk but he got the gist and we did it, one sentence at a time until he had a paragraph. It just takes forever!!
8:25 pm
stidmama
Bugs, you're a real pro. *happy friend smile* He will never know how much your help has meant in his life (but we know...)
8:25 pm
Jacula
It's hard work, isn't it, Bug? Teenagers are a trial!
8:25 pm
Jillyjill
AND, he knows you care!
8:26 pm
Bugsaw
Only 3 more weeks for me Jacula and then retirement for me! Only grandchildren teens and they are so much easier to love
8:27 pm
Jacula
I thinks that's the thing, Stid and Jilly. You might not think you 'care' when someone cares for you, but you do, and you remember them for caring.
8:27 pm
Jacula
Bug - you might not say that if you were dealing with our 17-yea-old right now.
8:28 pm
Jacula
But, I do understand, Bug, that's you can only take that smarmy 'I know it all, old person!' look so many times before you want to bounce a housebrick off the back of their heads.
8:29 pm
stidmama
YES! I got NBT by myself! :-)
8:29 pm
stidmama
also NBS. now working on halfway...
8:29 pm
Bugsaw
that is only because she is not a GRANDchild. It is SO much easier when you are not the parent. Ifelt such a sense of responsiblity when I was the parent. As a grandparent I just feel that I am reinforcing the values the parents are feeling responsible about imparting.
8:29 pm
stidmama
Tom is making turkey meatballs for our spaghetti today... I got the ingredients ready before I sat down, and he is doing the cooking while I have my feet up.
8:30 pm
stidmama
I would love to be a grandparent, but sometimes I don't think that I will live through the parenting state. *sigh*
8:31 pm
Jillyjill
Good job Stid!
8:33 pm
Jacula
I'm not a grandparent yet but haven't forgotten seeing both sets of grandparents fall in love with their first grandchild (my son) when they first set eyes on him. As for it being easier when you are not the parent, even if you are the step parent, I'm not so sure.
8:33 pm
wvteach
I LOVE being a grandparent - just spent the day with the two youngest (1 1/2 and 6 years) and enjoy having them right here in town where I see them every week at least
8:34 pm
stidmama
those are good ages, teach! Exhausting, but good!
8:34 pm
Jillyjill
Sometimes they are so much easier to deal with if one can take a step back...but much easier said than done!
8:34 pm
Bugsaw
well said, Jilly
8:35 pm

good evening my friends
8:35 pm

yes, i am always exhausted but love my days with them. Had the 6 year old at the church picnic last night. The older one (just turnede 14 ) is off on a mission trip with the church youth group
8:35 pm
Jacula
At present, step's Dad isn't speaking to her and wants her out the minute she reaches 18. I can see that she's been damaged by the years with her weird mother and still want to help, even if I am disgusted with her right now. Rock/hard place? I'm between them!
8:35 pm

I've been trying to change my icon photo and it wont switch.....guess I've had that darn plane for to many years and it's permanently adhered!
8:36 pm
stidmama
yep. I despair of lovely sweet native blackberries this year -- they are on the vines and want to ripen, but it's not sunny enough for sweetness.
8:36 pm
stidmama
um.... what's the issue, do you think?
8:37 pm
Jillyjill
I am having the same problem mcurl...takes several days for the change to occur...

I can hear the magpies scolding outside now, defending their nest again. Probably a cat or a fox on the path below. Time I went to bed and let my brain work on refining that story I'm hoping to sell. And thanks, Jillyjill for what you said.
8:40 pm
stidmama
probably best to get some sleep before sun-up, Jac! (((hugs))) good to see you and talk with you a little. I have missed chatting with you.

I should go do something halfway productive. It was a long day, and although I am probably taking tomorrow off, I might get a call from an outlying district (and if they call, I will go because they need subs and I need brownie points).

Hi Cybernan.
11:52 pm
Uneaixoise

11:53 pm

I changed my icon yesterday -- see it in my profile but not in the chatbox. I've tried it with both babble fireworks forever and the new expert version.
11:53 pm
cosdem
nan! i thought of you earlier today
11:53 pm
cybernan
Hi cos -- hope the thoughts were good ones!
11:53 pm
cosdem
i saw on tv they are airing "hatfields and mccoys" on lifetime on wed/thurs/fri and thought maybe if you had that channel you could get to see it
11:53 pm
cosdem
well im pretty sure it was you who said you missed it.
11:54 pm
Uneaixoise
<<< just changed my icon -- no prob
11:54 pm
cybernan
We will be visiting the kids then, so I will miss it again!
