1:46 am
flosey
may go off island tomorrow, have had a painting frames and anxious to pick it up
1:46 am
flosey
one of daughter's works
1:47 am
Trifioso
what kind of medium does she work in, flosey?
1:47 am
flosey
she's using oils now, started out with pastels way back and dated an artist for a while who got her into oils
1:48 am
Trifioso
I think it's lovely that you framed her art. What a great mom you are, and justly proud
1:48 am
flosey
she did 3 small ones and had them frames to go in our powder room
1:49 am
Trifioso
what is the subject -- or are they more abstract or color studies?
1:49 am
flosey
she also did an oil of our dear old dog Misha, it is hanging in the livingroom
1:50 am
flosey
powderroom is very simple, 2 of flowers and one a vine
1:50 am
Trifioso
you should post photos in your profile once you get them hung up
1:50 am
flosey
for our ensuite, it's 2 fish (with red spot on side, forget what they're called)
1:51 am
flosey
I have one of the dog, I'll post it tomorrow
1:51 am
flosey
I think so, thanks Trif
1:52 am
flosey
have framed it with off white border with narrow dark blue inner border, and blue frame
1:53 am
flosey
frame almost royal
1:54 am
Trifioso
sounds just lovely
1:56 am
flosey
If I'm up to it, I'll go over to pick it up, they just phoned today to say it's ready(it's at Sidney on Van Island),
1:56 am
Trifioso
is it a long trip?
1:57 am
flosey
no, not at all, just a 45 - 50 minute ferry ride
1:57 am
flosey
then 15 minute drive
1:57 am
Trifioso
that is long, once you figure in the round trip as well
1:58 am
flosey
yes, and waiting - they run every 2 hours
1:58 am
Trifioso
gads, I am so tired, but sleep just eludes me. I am going to be useless at work tomorrow
1:59 am
flosey
If I got the 10: over, would have to wait for the 1: back - unless I felt like clothes shopping while there
1:59 am
Trifioso
is there a nice tea shop or something?
2:00 am
flosey
well, I must get to bed, nice chatting Trif, and good luke getting sleepy

3:15 am
Kazzer99
i am fine - on another day off - back to work for 1 day tomorrow. Yes the weather has been pretty awful. Yesterday was vile - rained all day and was quite cold
3:15 am
rubyfoo
you are so lucky to have your mom nearby, sarah
3:15 am
sarah6girls
i am :)
3:16 am
rubyfoo
it's crazy needing fires this late in the year! never before after April and even then, it was infrequent
3:16 am
craftylady
wish we were even closer so I could see her and the girls more
3:16 am
sarah6girls

3:18 am
craftylady

3:19 am
sarah6girls
need clue plz for wi6 30 :)
3:19 am
rubyfoo
5 hooliens and 6 daughters -- what a household that would be!!!!
3:20 am
sarah6girls
still got 3 cats and 3 kittens lol
3:20 am
rubyfoo
hooligans* (hard word for so early)
3:20 am
Kazzer99
wi 6/30 - more like the long thin metal which conducts electricity
3:25 am
rubyfoo
I don't think I've ever seen a grid with 7 e's
3:30 am
Kazzer99
fortunately none of them has many words associated with them
3:31 am
Kazzer99
the w is more problematical
3:31 am
rubyfoo
whoops, sorry
3:32 am
rubyfoo
only have 7 w's
3:34 am
Kazzer99
i am working on them now - got to 13 so far
3:35 am
rubyfoo
do yu have the lone y?
3:36 am
Kazzer99
yes - y 4/7 sounds like past tense of another word for shouted
3:37 am
rubyfoo
many thanks, now a littl more than half, nbt and nbs
3:38 am
Kazzer99
yah for ruby - down to the final 13 - was going to go out to the garden but it just started to rain again! so i shall finish here, then get a coffee and watch crappy day time tv
3:38 am
rubyfoo
at least, with all this rain, it's easier to pull weeds!
3:40 am
Kazzer99
thats very true - we were really chuffed yesterday - got our first tomato - it was lovely and we also pulled some rhubarb
3:52 am
rubyfoo
I'm surprised that you have tomatoes already. I don't think we'll have any this year and last year, I couldn't give them away fast enough!
3:54 am
rubyfoo
at least the flowers are glorious, and because spring came so late, everything blossomed at once so there are iris, roses, peopnies, campanula, dying azaleas, and several I can't name
3:55 am
Kazzer99
we don't have many flowers in the garden - thats next years project. We have out tomatoes in a small greenhouse that until the beginning of June had a heater in it and we bought grafted ones - they were brilliant - but we do have about 8 plants
3:57 am
Kazzer99
whee - fireworks for me - must go and get a coffee and get ready - being taken to a garden centre to find some pigeon protection for my friends sprouts

Did you Brits hear about the Starbucks fiasco?
5:36 am
sarah6girls
no what happened
5:37 am
godthaab
Starbucks offered Big Prizes to its Irish customers if they could tell them about "what's the best thing about being" ... wait for it... "British".
5:41 am
gramma
What timing I have. godthaab how well did that go over?
5:41 am
MollyL
Oh, I'm sensing some really bad jokes coming from that contest.
5:43 am
MollyL
Here, I found a good one. The best thing about being British is driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
5:43 am
gramma
dr5/18? please
5:44 am
gramma
Yea Molly! I knew you could do it.
5:45 am
MollyL
Ah, I take no credit for that. Found it on the web. I consider it bad form to take credit for the words of another.
5:45 am
gramma
The best thing about being British for an Irishman is....not!
5:46 am
medusa
b5/16 please
5:46 am

Which b5/16?
5:47 am
gramma

Ooo, Gramma is a mind reader. *Puts on tin foil hat*
5:48 am
gramma
Clue for the dr5/18, please?
5:48 am
gramma
It was the one I struggled with.
5:50 am
Sugrraleona
drudle should be a word! LOL
5:51 am
MollyL
dr5/18 is a nymph of the woodland
5:51 am
medusa
would be a great word too
5:51 am
Sugrraleona
Go play with your drudle! LOL
5:52 am

Not wet + short for what you put in the paper to sell something
5:53 am

I want a ring side seat when Ruby takes someone on and dresses them down in French. Whee!
6:25 am
rubyfoo
one of the first things I learned, my first visit to France 100 years ago, was how to tell people to get lost (or worse)
6:26 am
rubyfoo
it was especially important when I visited here with my son who, at 13, was very handsome
6:26 am
MollyL
Good for you. It always helps to be prepared. : )
6:26 am

6:31 am
JBsAnno
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

I have often wondered why so many of us were forced to memorize that gibberish.
6:33 am
Sugrraleona
wi6/30?
6:33 am
JBsAnno
Hear, hear, R4foo!
6:33 am
rubyfoo
anything memorized enhances the neurons
6:34 am
MollyL
wi6/30 is more wi4/10
6:34 am
JBsAnno
Sugrraleona - more cautious
6:34 am

I can still remember all the sh** I was forced to memorize when I was 8-9-10. MANY years ago

"our forefathers brought forth.....
6:36 am
JBsAnno
Hmm, must be channeling Carroll...
6:36 am
rubyfoo
you went to a more liberal schoool than I, JBs
6:37 am
JBsAnno
Those Catholic nuns were nothing of the sort, R!
6:37 am
MollyL
Oh God, nuns are hot for memorization.
6:37 am
MollyL
And diagramming sentences. What was the point of THAT?
6:38 am
rubyfoo
when I go to the facebook site for where I grew up, most of the anecdotes are about the awful nuns
6:38 am
rubyfoo
happily, I went to public school
6:38 am
JBsAnno
Grid done - check. Still in pajamas, check. Loving the chog - check. Avoiding getting dressed - MAJOR check.
6:38 am
MollyL
If any of the nuns that taught me are still alive, I'm sure they still pray for my heathen soul.
6:38 am
andrew in drag
haha, JBs...no need, no deed!
6:38 am
rubyfoo
I don't think diagramming was wasted; it enables us to develop complex sentences...LOL
6:39 am
JBsAnno
I wonder how a txt msg can be diagrmd...
6:39 am
MollyL
Oh right R4. Like people use complex sentences anymore. hw r u hun?
6:40 am
JBsAnno
LOL, R4foo (love typing yr name!), scared the cat.

MollyL

6:42 am
JBsAnno
Oh, that reminds me, my funny for today to share with you all -
6:42 am
rubyfoo
there was a cat who used to come into the house and eat the dogs' food with nary a complaint from either one
6:42 am
JBsAnno
If you say 'gullible' slowly, it sounds like 'oranges.'
6:43 am
rubyfoo
OK, JBs, I've tried it NOT!
6:43 am
MollyL
Ha! That's good! *Wonders how many people are now saying gullible over and over.

bummer, bichon! It was sunny here but I didn't go up to the observatory as it was too crowded - I watched live stream (off and on) from my computer
11:07 am
stidmama
later, jilly -- third grade, should be pretty manageable. I like that school, and although I haven't been in for that teacher I know what sort of expectations they have.
11:07 am

11:19 am
stidmama
I was glad that Grant and Tom saw the transit, but Matthew was at work so of course he couldn't... I hope he went home after and watched some of the videos. The videos, actually are more interesting than the actual thing.
11:20 am

2:44 pm
MollyL
Ouch Rasta. Glad you are feeling somewhat better.
2:45 pm
rastapopolous
they tell me 3 days. the back is spring zephyrs compared to the issues they've had with my IV. Apparently I have tiny veins
2:46 pm
MollyL
Ouch again. Are you black and blue from all the "searching"?
2:47 pm
jmcnrick
hi rasta
2:48 pm
rastapopolous
I had one 'infiltrate" which apparently means the veins collapse and all th fluids start to get forced into the tissues. Hurt way more than the surgery ste. Now they can't find another. I'm now taking oral meds, I prefer that anyway. Hi, jmc
2:49 pm
rastapopolous
at least the hospital provides wifi!
2:50 pm
sammysmom
i understand ras........ have a daughter with tiny veins............. it took her 30 years of various hospitalizations to get her chart documented that pediatric needles and iv setups had to be used.............
2:50 pm
MollyL
Hey, that is the least they can do since you can't get any decent sleep in those places.
2:50 pm
jmcnrick
i had a client who was a heroin addict who had trouble when he went to the hospital because there was no untapped vein theycould use [not that i am suggesting rasta is a heroin addict]
2:50 pm
jmcnrick
wifi at the hospital is a wonderful thing!
2:51 pm
rastapopolous
well, I actually do have a lot of scarring in my elbows from giving blood religiously for a lot of years - they never seemed to have any trouble, but I think getting stuff out and getting stuff in is two different stories
2:51 pm
rastapopolous
yes, helps a lot.
2:53 pm
rastapopolous
the wifi. I can skype my dh in paris at least. And babble... lol

4:21 pm

I love decluttering. Funny how it never looks any less cluttered here, tho, ha.
4:21 pm
periwinkle
my space does look less cluttered tho. I am proud of myself.
4:22 pm

Tor, are you moving towns again? That is frowned upon you know. : D
5:20 pm
wvteach
how;s retired life? or not yet?
5:20 pm
uusue2
end of June, wv, and I have two contracts from book publishers for work that needs to be done this summer so I am pretty busy.
5:21 pm
wvteach
that way you can ease in to retirement gradually - though I find I am busier than ever
5:23 pm
torgone
It was in my way ..
5:24 pm
uusue2
that's what everyone keeps telling me, wv (about being busier than ever)
5:25 pm
scrambler
lynx the 1st superman died too, his name was george reeves and his death was a mystery, shot supposedly by William Randolph Hearst
5:25 pm
uusue2
I remember that, scrambler. It is funny to look back at the old Superman TV shows and see how pudgy he looked!
5:26 pm
wvteach
the teacher that had been my mentor early on had warned me (at my retirement dinner( to keep saying "NO" to any requests to start something new / to volunteer - and the very next week gave my firsdt "YES"
5:26 pm
MollyL
Well Tor, we'll try to look the other way...this time.
: D
5:28 pm
Krista
Was about to say the same thing, Sue. Superman with a gut (by today's standards).
5:30 pm
Krista
My SIL retired yesterday after 40+ years of teaching. I think she would have kept teachig, but they made life miserable for her for the last several years. The older teachers make too much money.
5:30 pm
scrambler
ab 4/8 clue? I must be blind
5:32 pm
uusue2
I was pretty miserable for the last few years too, mostly because I wasn't doing research and had therefore taken on a large teaching load - unfortunately no matter how much teaching you do it isn't considered as valuable as research, so my rankings were always very poor
5:33 pm
uusue2
ab+ sometimes vowel + always vowel, scrambler, odd word
5:33 pm
torgone
a + adios
5:34 pm
scrambler
thanks all! :3 odd duck of a word

That's too bad, Sue.
5:36 pm

rare weather report..tornado warning have been issued for our area this afternoon hail ,damaging winds etc..i best make up some bacon sammiches ahead of time
5:37 pm
uusue2
be careful, crossy - if you don't have a tornado shelter, or a basement, the bathroom or an interior closet are the best places - stay away from the windows!
5:37 pm
onyx
Tornados in Canada?
5:37 pm
crosshair
yes indeed..we have had them before you know lol
5:38 pm
crosshair
our problem is we are not overly experienced with them
5:38 pm
crosshair
i was in one in 1980 that tore thgrough barrie/orangeville and erin..lost my car
5:38 pm
scrambler
make sure you have water available, fill some water jugs, keep them in the tub.
5:38 pm
onyx
We've had a couple in nor cal, also rather rare for here
5:39 pm
crosshair
ill just do the old northern storm camp standbye when the power was going to go out for a few days..sterilize the tub and just fill it with cold water
5:40 pm
Krista
Same here, Crossy - only remember a few warnings from childhood, but it's all summer long now (Maryland).
5:41 pm
gemini_J13
the tornado possibly will suck the water out....
5:42 pm
crosshair
i have cash,first aid kit,instant ready no need to cook foods,a fully charged cell,flashlights kerosene lamps a dynamo powered radio..gemeni,if it lifts the roof an ceiling of this place,i will not be worried about water,plus we live on georgian bay,it is all fresh and drinkable..no oceans here:)
5:43 pm
gemini_J13
good,,, just sayin
5:44 pm
crosshair
my concern is the celings here is endless tonnes of pre-cast concrete slabs,so if she starts to go,i have a under the road culvert all mapped out
5:45 pm
gemini_J13
sounds like the Garden of Eden in Lucas........
5:45 pm
crosshair
if that comes down,no doorway or bathtub will help
5:46 pm
crosshair
i used to install these slabs years ago on steel framework office structures.they are usuall 25 feet long,4 feet wide,hollow in the middle with insulating sound foan and weight 8500 pounds each
5:47 pm
crosshair
they key into each other like wood flooring strips
5:47 pm
crosshair
probably safer than a reg wood framed house anyways
5:48 pm
gemini_J13
probably ,, most have basements in Kansas
5:49 pm
crosshair
keeping track,seems it may generate the cells north and east of us first
5:50 pm
gemini_J13
our weather travels west to east
5:50 pm
crosshair
they do funny things when near bodies of water this large.2 years ago we had a f-2 touch in a town 5 minutes up the road,destroy 1000 acres of farm land and apple trees,wander into the bay,became a water spout and was gone in 3 minutes
5:50 pm
gemini_J13

5:54 pm

Too bad you don't have a grill. You wouldn't need all that ready to eat food.
6:01 pm
crosshair
,if by chance it vaporizes the town,flames to cook on are not an issue,i am a ole norther camper from way back..i can roast a moose on a stick over a camp fire if need be molly
6:01 pm
crosshair
a bbq is just a fancy way of cooking:)
6:02 pm
crosshair
and it is easier to store water,ramen noodle,peanuts apples and other quick foods than pork chops for the barbie molly:)))
6:04 pm
crosshair
and wild turkey hunting is but a trip to the top of the mtn..make you a full turkey dinner :)
6:09 pm

ok,update 4 minutes ago,looks like places a hour to the north and some an hour to the south and east are gearing up for some fun,i best get off this thing just in case tc all and ill pack molly a rack of ribs:)))...poink

8:34 pm
stidmama
hey jilly
8:34 pm
Jillyjill
Hi stid, how was school?
8:35 pm
stidmama
it was a little challenging, but good -- usually kids in the age range I was teaching today are less deliberately antagonistic, but I was able to get them turned around pretty well.
8:36 pm
stidmama
tomorrow I go to a school I have never been in. And the day after same thing, except that I know at that school my mother taught the kids and I might even be remembered by a few of them. Which would be a good thing.
8:36 pm
Jillyjill
Good job stid! *raises glass for toast* how many more days of school out there?
8:36 pm
wht
Good evening Babblers
8:36 pm
Jillyjill
hiya wht!
8:37 pm
stidmama
Depends on the district, jilly -- a couple end this week, a couple next week. I think my son's district ends the latest of all, June 21.
8:37 pm
stidmama
hey wht!
8:37 pm
wht
Wanting to finish up my last 28.
8:38 pm
stidmama
I was going to try to not work the last week in any of the schools, then I realized that I can "push" a little harder this month because the way they pay, some districts don't issue checks for work until almost two months later.
8:38 pm
stidmama
so the more I work now the more of a cushion I have when school starts up again in the fall.
8:39 pm
Jillyjill
Wow...that is late. We had graduations last weekend, this is the last week for everyone else.
8:40 pm
stidmama
We had over a week of no school for many districts because of the very bad snow/ice storm in January. It took several days to get roads and electricity back up in a lot of places.
8:41 pm
stidmama
tom is home!
8:41 pm
wht
Where are you Stid? Here in Massachusetts schools don't get out until next week, and we only had a couple of snow days, but those were for the October snow storm.
8:43 pm
Jillyjill
and there are the --->sparkles<----
8:44 pm
Jillyjill
Yep torgone...MUCH better than last night...lol...I wanted to cry....
8:47 pm
stidmama
Pacific NW, wht, we had a doozy toward the end of January
8:48 pm
stidmama
ordinarily our side of the mountains gets a few inches, kids enjoy a snow day and everything is ready to go the next day. This time the storm dumped up to a foot in some places, followed by ice, followed by rain. Trees down EVERYWHERE.
8:48 pm
stidmama
I think "deraw" should be a word, synonym for cook
8:48 pm
Jillyjill

tor my love! Part of my teaching today involved watching 3rd graders take swim lessons... I kept thinking about your fb post about what drowning looks like. Not that I needed to worry, between all the teachers and the lifeguard and the swim coach the kids were going to be safe no matter what.
