hi rose

yes, realized that when last comment took so long
2:04 am
grannyrose

flosey, becoming just a tad anxious and excited.....18 days to go
2:04 am
flosey

oh I bet rose, but won't it be great to get it all over with
2:05 am
grannyrose

sure will, hun. starting to limp pretty badly. refusing to use walking stick. i want these muscles to work hard.
2:06 am
flosey

isn't that hard on them though?
2:06 am
grannyrose

lol, they gave me a DVD of exercises to do pre-op.....just when do i do them? oin my sleep?

2:08 am
grannyrose

i plan on being back at work by 8 weeks.
2:08 am
flosey

wow, you are one tough lady
2:08 am
flosey

tough, but with heart of course
2:09 am
grannyrose

not tough....just very stubborn.lol
2:09 am
flosey

sometimes stubborn is good
2:09 am
rbud

just had a visit from old friends from back home, on their way through the state after visiting a new great-grandbaby. Lovely woman, 74 and still working, currently in an altzheimer's unit caring for folks younger than herself in some cases, wow.
2:10 am
grannyrose

wow, indeed, rbud.
2:10 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Hi there, flosey. How are you?
2:10 am
flosey

good thanks peach, you?
2:11 am
flosey

very tired, but was hoping to finish this tonight - silly me
2:11 am
rbud

she was on track to retire earlier until their house burned down, now back to where they were then, and looking at retiring next year. hope so, she deserves a break. :)
2:12 am
flosey

oh wow, what a tough break
2:12 am
gapeach1066@yaho

OK except for allergies and sinus problems....I think most of my friends have the same complaints.
2:12 am
grannyrose

good grief, rbud. the nicest people seem to get the touighest deals.
2:13 am
flosey

ah, is it the time of year peach?
2:13 am
gapeach1066@yaho

I think so, flosey.
2:14 am
grannyrose

peach, my problem is convincing himself to vacuum, NOT sweep. the dust sets me off terribly
2:14 am
grannyrose

then again, having an himself who is willing to clean floors is a bonus.....just not when i am home.
2:15 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Yes, it does do that. If he insists on sweeping perhaps he could do it when you are out of the house.
2:16 am
flosey

understand that rose, I try to get hubby to drive slowly as he approaches the house, even though the driveway is finished with fine stone, there's still dust from it, if windows are open it comes in
2:16 am
grannyrose

shall we use the term ' crusty old bachelor ' to describe him?
2:16 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Yes, you are fortunate that he does do it. Some men seem to think they are "above" cleaning.
2:16 am
flosey

lol, sometimes that does fit
2:17 am
flosey

we gave in and have a lovely girl come in for 3 - 4 hours every two weeks, helps a lot
2:18 am
grannyrose

well, flosey, he was a bachelor for nearly 20 years before i married him. he raised 3 kids, as a single dad. my hat is certainly off to him.
2:18 am
flosey

ah, hubby was a student when we married
2:18 am
rbud

<-- rolling eyes - sure can relate, Hubs would much rather boss everyone else around and have them clean, than lift a finger himself
2:19 am
flosey

wow, good for him, not easy for a man to raise kids
2:19 am
grannyrose

lucky you, flosey. my first husband was not a good choice....but we were in love, and idealistic.
2:20 am
flosey

we made it to 50 years last summer, and still going strong
2:20 am
flosey

he had to pay his own way through U so had to take a few years off to earn some money
2:20 am
grannyrose

WOW!!!!! some marriages are certainly made in Heaven!!
2:21 am
flosey

had our ups and downs but survived
2:22 am
grannyrose

flosey, i did everything in my power to keep my first marriage alive....he didn't.
2:23 am
flosey

it does take 2, rose
2:23 am
grannyrose

i know that now, but then...it was very frustrating.
2:24 am
grannyrose

now hubby and i both work together, sometimes need to nudge him a little...e.g. bathroom
2:25 am
flosey

of course, it's an uphill battle, both have to be prepared to give and take - and work together
2:25 am
rbud

I ran from first husband after he became an evil wife-beating drunk. Was only 19 at the time, but I knew it wasn't for me.
2:25 am
grannyrose

oh, for goodness sake, my canary is telling me off, brb. need to cover him for the night. lol
2:25 am
flosey

wow rbud, good for you, getting out isn't easy
2:26 am
rbud

he was 23 or so. thought he was a nice guy, soooo wrong, sigh...
2:27 am
flosey

if I had married at 20, would have been a disaster - my father suggested I wait until 21 which was very wise, didn't last that long
2:27 am
rbud

didn't marry this one until I was 34, thought I'd wait till I was sure this time, lol! we have 25 years in now.
2:28 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Good for you rbud.
2:29 am
flosey

wtg rbud, smart lady, and it paid off
2:30 am
flosey

I was 29 when we were married
2:31 am
grannyrose

what lovely stories from both of you. current hubby and i have been griends for nearly 28 years, been married for the last 8. i think the trick is...be a friend first, then move deeper if both of you want to do so.
2:32 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Good advice, rose.
2:33 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Dear peeps, I'm going to have to go to bed. See y'all later in the day.
2:33 am
grannyrose

of course, he was much more circumspect than i....i had to wait for 6 years before he could commit himself to me.
2:33 am
grannyrose

peach, sleep well, hun
2:34 am
flosey

now, I really must get to bed, going to Victoria tomorrow
2:34 am

hubby and I were married for 13 yrs when he had a 'midlife crisis' and went off the rails.....he sorted himself out and we have been back together nearly 16 yrs - certainly better 2nd time around.

2:48 am
rbud

I just wish they'd never stopped putting in good old wing windows and lower inside vents that actually let in real outside air, like in our old '71 Chevy truck (we still have it)
2:49 am
rbud

most dependable vehicle we've owned over the years, never fails to start and run.

you know i used to complain in my own mind at least about babble being the same ole,same ole,never updating,never refresing itself,never going for a new look,or new things to do added on but i may have to revise my way of thinking. i am also playing a game on facebook called gardens of time and the thing is in beta mode and stuff seems to be changing every 5 minutes and of course the inherant bugs and glitches that come along with it,so now when i come into babble it is like finding your old pair of comfortable slipper and reading chair exactly where you left it,unchanged and familliar;))

there is this new alarm clock that is based loosly on that perfection game of old where you had to put the different shaped bits in the holes within a certain time or they would launch everywhere.this clock has 6 different shapes and when the alarm goes off,it launches them all over the room and the only way to shut the ting off is to find all 6 pieces and put them back in the holes and push the button
5:36 am
bojazz

Ooh! Interviews?
7:33 am

i had a job interview. it wasn't that great. there were 3 people conducting it which was a bit overwhelming. i felt like a deer in headlights and couldn't think.
7:33 am
sprite

argh that is so ugly, hursh. 3 to 1 is aweful.
7:33 am
Nef

(((hurshy))) was it a job you were very interested in?
7:34 am

oh, medium, nef. it had certain advantages. but i don't mind if i don't get called back.
7:34 am
Anniebrook

hurshy, they ganged up on you but you are a bright girl...I am sure that came through
7:34 am

gosh i know what you mean. . .i had a job interview where i was interviewed by six board members, did a role play, and THEN was interviewed by 20 staff members!

i have trouble conversing with people i've just met under any circumstances... so it's not exactly my strong suit to interview.
7:35 am
jmcnrick

no it is just quakers have this odd ideas about hiring
7:35 am
Nef

I was interviewed several times by 3-4 people for the nurse manager job. I ended up so confused I didn't know who they were for several weeks! :-)
7:36 am
sprite

hursh, if they are looking for someone comfortable with that amount of pressure and stress, the job is not healthy for you. And if they don't, they will know how to read people who are overwhelmed by it and judge accordingly.
7:36 am
lbdawger

lol, nef.
7:36 am
hurshy

i felt like mitt romney - stiff and no personality
7:37 am
jmcnrick

haha i am sure you were better than that
7:37 am
lbdawger

i think the only interview that was close to that was at the university. interviewed by the staff of the office/program, then the deans of student affairs, then then hiring committee. oh and some students.
7:37 am

*hugs hursh* I liked you very much, when we met, right away.

oh great, Nef, congrats :)

hurshy

that's cool nef
7:39 am
lbdawger

good luck, Hursh. if they don't see your strengths... pooh on them! their loss.
7:39 am
jmcnrick

i have interviewed dozens if not hundreds of people hursh and after a while you see beyond the interview nerves
7:40 am
hurshy

i guess but if the nerves really prevent you from giving them the answers and information they need... i dunno. whatever. it's all good.
7:41 am
Nef

It's expanding, they are moving; and this will make it easier for the clinic manager with all that going on. My job is to do the grants and keep them in compliance with all the laws. *Very* part-time; because I can't le*** DH alone much right now.
7:42 am
jmcnrick

its nice it is something you can do some from at home
7:42 am
lbdawger

sounds like a good match, nef
7:42 am
Nef

hurshy, everytime you go for an interview, remember that they are just as human as you are, and don't you dare sell yourself short! YOU are a fabulous person; and We all know that!
7:43 am
sprite

amen to that, Nef
7:43 am
jmcnrick

hear hear nef!
7:43 am

7:44 am
hurshy

thanks. i was thinking all these good preparatory things before i went in, and being myself, and all that, but then, it just flew out the window.
7:45 am
sprite

yeah well it would with most people, hursh, when faced with a 3-man commission. Don't worry. You will be hired by a company that appreciates what you have to offer. If it is not them, it is their loss.
7:45 am
Nef

When I was looking for a job; I kept telling myself that I knew I was a good nurse; I may not have been an expert at the area of nursing I was interviewing for; but I could learn! Keep telling yourself that too, hursh.
7:45 am
hurshy

it's my same "company" :) yale.
7:46 am
hurshy

i think i do better with small businesses.
7:46 am
jmcnrick

i write a small note or one word cue somewhere unobtrusive and look at it. . . for class it is WAIT:why am I talking. . . .for interviews it is FAB (no explanation needed) and peek at it as needed
7:46 am
Nef

That's good! You know the "company!" :-)
7:46 am
lbdawger

then they should know your value in your work with them.
7:47 am
hurshy

it's big, though, dawg - the people who interview you for one job don't know you from your other job.
7:47 am
jmcnrick

well they know you work for yale so you're not likely to be a dummy
7:47 am
sprite

if they are interested, they know where to find some more info on you then, hursh. And it they are not, booh for them.
7:48 am
hurshy

you'd be surprised, jmc...
7:48 am
Nef

no, but they at least have some of your work records, right?
7:48 am
jmcnrick

haha!
7:48 am
lbdawger

but they know people you know. and one big thing about internal interviews, you know the policies and all the icky stuff they'd have to teach and train a newbie on as well as the job.
7:49 am
jmcnrick

it is all relative hursh. . . when i went to rice we thought the jocks were dummies but in comparison to jocks at other schools. . .
7:49 am
hurshy

yes but i suspect a lot of the other candidates are internal also.
7:50 am
lbdawger

Possibilities, but you gave it a try, if you get the position AWESOME, if not, it's a good experience and you dusted off your resume for the next time.
7:50 am
sprite

and since some of them ARE dummies, you will look better anyway. Trust yourself. You will find a good job.
7:50 am
hurshy

yes.

2 years ago i saw bradburys dark carnival in g+ no dust cover,but the thing was full of library stamps and a card pocket and 2 sloppy book plates for 300
11:41 am
crosshair

i kind of want a nice clean f grade
11:41 am
Book Doctor Gwen

$300 is about right fair for an ex-lib. those things norally go for a lot more
11:42 am
crosshair

libraries are great things,but i have seen many,many rare books ruined by some librarian with an ink pad fetish
11:43 am
Book Doctor Gwen

someone published a book once called Librarians as Enemies of Books, about that same issue
11:43 am
crosshair

indeed gwen a clean personal copy no dust jacket in f grade is hitting 1500 or more:(
11:43 am
Book Doctor Gwen

as a dealer i avoid acquiring ex-libs unless the book is already rare
11:44 am
crosshair

i saw a first ed of catcher in the rye ruined with ink stamp frenzy once
11:44 am
Book Doctor Gwen

then i sell to both readaers and collectors. readers are generally happy with a Poor copy if it is priced reasonably
11:44 am
crosshair

indeed,if i just want to read it,i do not care if it is a side tracked return with the cover torn off it ten years ago
11:47 am
Book Doctor Gwen

you should never buy a book with the cover torn off. do not ecnourage the thieves.
11:49 am
crosshair

in my collection,i have two copies of stephen kings book skeleton crew.one that is read to tatters,tape holding the front cover on and a old knee bandage holding the back cover on,writing in the margins and one pristine copy.on a dare,my mrs had me send both to him for a autograph as he has said many times that he loves to see a book that has been ridden hard..well both came back after 6 months.he had signed the ratty one and on the inside of the cover of the good one he wrote"send this one along when it looks like the other-S" was the only time he ever responded to me
11:49 am
crosshair

man has a wicked sense of humor
11:50 am
crosshair

i know gwen.have not done it often
11:50 am
Book Doctor Gwen

i have heard he is a pretty nice guy. probably the reason it took six months is that he lets his mail pile up for a while, at least some of it, then tackles all the fan mail at once
11:51 am
crosshair

most likely
11:51 am
Book Doctor Gwen

also, when he signs a ratty copy, he is not increasing its value quite as much as if he signs a Fine copy
11:51 am
crosshair

so now i read the clean copy and no one touches the ratty dog eared taped one lol
11:52 am
crosshair

life is funny
11:53 am
Book Doctor Gwen

btw, the torn off cover thing applies to paperbacks, not hardcovers ...
11:53 am
crosshair

thats what i was talking about,softcovers
11:53 am
Book Doctor Gwen

yep, okay
11:54 am
crosshair

dn how they process returns on the hardcovers
11:54 am
Book Doctor Gwen

with a hardcover you send back the entire book. now, you have heard of remainders?
11:55 am
crosshair

price of things,if i sold new hardcovers,i would want them to supply them all on spec
11:55 am
crosshair

i have indeed
11:55 am
Book Doctor Gwen

all the major book distributors allow returns under certain conditions, so it is sorta like buying on spec
11:56 am
Book Doctor Gwen

near me there is a huge ramainder store, and when i have some loose change i buy a few remainders, very carefully, of course
11:56 am
crosshair

do not care for that "certain conditions" though
11:57 am
Book Doctor Gwen

well, there are sometimes titles that can't be returned. a common example are textbooks where the margin is like 5% (most new books the margins is 40%)
11:57 am
crosshair

if it sits on my shelf for a year,i call that a condition lol
11:57 am
crosshair

40% :((((

Costco, and stores like that, are great if you are shopping for a family of 5. Not so great if you are shopping for two. Unless you have a huge budget that allows freezer storage and pantry storage.

To balance the markup comment, Costco also charges a membership fee, which allows them to operate at a lower markup.
12:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yes, the one downside is that costco is a "warehouse" store. you can't buy just one onion, you have to buy a 5-pound sack of onions (for example)

The problem with cost effective grocery shopping is that most people don't have time to go to one place for one value and another place for another value and yet another place for value number three.

Consumer Reports gave Costco the top grade. They are honest, don't overprice and worth the trip.

Also, Costco rotates their stock. So the deal you find there this week may not be there next week.

(fools rush in where angels fear to tread)
4:36 pm
lilliann

she's been trying for a fight all afternoon when we were out shopping...@whatever@ is her favourite word to anything i said, crashing the shopping trolley into the back of my chair, walking off with it when i wanted to put shopping in it...being sarcastic, nasty and a right brat!!
4:37 pm

how old is she?

4:38 pm

let her poor arthritic grandad bring the shopping bags from the car, because she was too busy holding my old cat who doesn't like to be held by her...
4:38 pm
MollyL

That kind of crap would have her grounded for a week if I were her mother. Especially crashing the cart into your chair.
4:38 pm
lilliann

nearly 13...going on 17!!!
4:39 pm
lilliann

i've told her she is grounded for a week
4:39 pm
lilliann

i've also told her that her horse riding lessons have now finished!!
4:39 pm
MollyL

Good for you Lilliann. She and her nasty attitude can have a lovely time together in her room.
4:39 pm
MollyL

Double good for you.
4:41 pm
lilliann

she went last night, and they charged her £11 for 30 mins instead of £14 for an hour, all because there were no other riders.how does that work?? she is doing the same thing every week and riding the same horses that she complains about!
4:44 pm
MollyL

Teenagers can be miserable and ungrateful. I'm sorry she's got you so stressed out.
4:45 pm
bichon

I went through the teenage thing with my daughter. Now she's 33 and has a daughter herself. It can be brutal, but won't last forever
4:45 pm
lilliann

she's now upset and crying in her room!! i'm sorry but i'm the bad one yet again, even though her dad and grandad who take her riding say thet it is a waste of money, unless you have a horse stabled there and i'm the one who gets all her bad attitude when nothing goes her way or i tell her off. i have enough to cope with and am sick of the swearing and nasty attitude towards me...all because i'm being the parent!!
4:46 pm
MollyL

You are not the bad one.
4:46 pm
hurshy

this is why i have cats.
4:47 pm

that's just the way it is Lili and there's really not much you can do about it to make it stop. It will pass and you two will be loving buddies at some point in the future
4:49 pm
sammysmom

keep on being the parent lil.... i had to be the parent.. my husband weas either drunk of hung over.. his parents were way to soft and mine were not here..... so i was the bitch.................... and they are all so grateful now.... first of all, that i let them live and second , that i made them into responsible, caring human beings it was tough, but i proudly wear my pink bitch hat that they gave me and laugh as they are being "tough" on their own kids
4:50 pm
MollyL

Wise words SMom. I salute you and your pink hat.
4:50 pm

hurshy, there is wisdom in that statement.
4:51 pm
lilliann

i know bichon, i was the same with my mam, as in not getting along all the time, but i never swore...didn't dare but i was 16/17 and i was the best of friends with my mam from 23 and still on going
4:53 pm
bichon

Lili, times are different now. I hate to say it, but children aren't nearly as afraid of our parent's might as we were when we were little. That's why you have to ignore the swearing and persevere
4:53 pm
lilliann

sorry, am reading throught he chat..my daughter just came and gave me a hug and we've talked a little bit but i've sent her to bed as it's late and she needs to sleep and i can't talk over everything tonight...
4:54 pm
bichon

We used to make up and I would always tell her that Mothers and daughter fight and make up.
4:56 pm
MollyL

For all the hard times, like Lilliann is describing, kids also bring an immense amount of love and joy. I could never say I would rather have animals than kids.
4:57 pm

I don't know if anyone here watches "Mad Men". The mother is a real cold hearted bitch and she and her daughter Sally, now 12 are always going at it. Sally got her period and who did she run to for comfort, yes, Mom
4:57 pm

I said that half-jokingly Molly. But, pets are never mad at you, want to drive the car, or go to college
4:58 pm

I hear you Bich.

I'm glad she came and gave you a hug, Lilliann. Better to end the night that way and sort things out later.
5:00 pm

just read sammy, and good for you and so glad your bairns turned out well,but with you, they were bound too..i just hope that my daughter does too...my hubby works away alot and my family live the otherside of the country and my parents live in france so my f.i.l has her for every week but she is good for him and loads of people tell me how caring and polite she is and she iseven teaching his elderly neighbout how to read and write...so it just shows that i have bought up a lovely caring daughter...just not to me

its been years since I saw them... i like the older cartoons better.. 1980's and earlier.
5:28 pm

pink panther was one of my faves as a kid because they rarely ever spoke lol.. same for tom and jerry
5:28 pm
lilliann

wally walrus?he wasn't in top cat!lol
5:28 pm
MollyL

Cos, did you see what I said about Archie and Jiminy? Do you think now that the curse is broken, the characters will be their real age?
5:28 pm

this was back when captions weren't commonplace
5:29 pm

i know he wasb't he was in droopy

The only character who aged was August, because he wasn't in Storybrooke. We will see, I guess.
5:30 pm
lilliann

we didn't have captions in our cartoons!
5:30 pm
MollyL

Oh and Emma, same reason.
5:30 pm
lilliann

yay lyn :)
5:31 pm
cosdem

emma wouldn't age, she was born 28 years ago the same time the curse took place
5:31 pm
lilliann

me lyn and when he said captions!!
5:31 pm
cosdem

duh never mind.. i misread what you said.. sorry!
5:32 pm
cosdem

top cat was yellow wasn't he
5:32 pm
cosdem

I'm hopeful we'll see Maleficient again in flashbacks.
5:32 pm
MollyL

I think it will be explained away that the characters didn't age because of the curse. Otherwise, they would all have to wear "old" makeup. That still doesn't explain why Marco is older than Jiminy.
5:33 pm
cosdem

maybe when Jiminy became a cricket he stopped aging/
5:33 pm
MollyL

That will probably be the explanation.
5:33 pm

no, he was a browny colour

I am looking in Inner Richmond as first coice due to proximity to what I need, then maybe cole valley or inner sunset
7:24 pm
kje

then nob and russian hills
7:25 pm
kje

would love pacific heights, but could only get a dmall place there on what I would prefer to pay
7:25 pm
bichon

Everything is pricey in SF. Son lived in OUter Sunset and in Glen Park.
7:26 pm

outer sunset is reasonable (in SF terms) but would just like to be walking distance to shops/restaurants, etc
7:26 pm

"This is a beautiful in-law units that was remodeled in 2008 and is in excellent move in condition. The unit features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 living room with hardwood floors. Both rooms have great views into a beautiful shared backyard. However, there is no kitchen so tenants will have to make other arrangement."
7:27 pm

Glen Park is near BART
7:27 pm

7:29 pm

7:29 pm
HarryHood

takeit!!!
7:29 pm

so what deal can I get if I am willing to live without a toilet?
7:30 pm
HarryHood

If you can get to work on BART, then living further out wouldn't be bad
7:30 pm
bichon

Peeing is overrated
7:31 pm
HarryHood

this is why we have windows!
7:31 pm
bichon

But, no place in the Bay Area is cheap.
7:31 pm
kje

I work all hours, bichon, so car is essential... I will pay more rather than spend an hour commuting
7:32 pm
bichon

I wouldn't mind paying more, but I'd have to have a bathroom and a kitchen [however small]
7:32 pm
kje

will give up space to live closer to work... I hate working 60+ hours, then commuting another 10-12/week
7:32 pm
kje

yes... bathroom and kitchen are essential

it'll be well worth it
9:05 pm

so I keep trying to convince myself... I have move dates but no new home!
9:06 pm
rururocks

you might have to look harder.. the market did pick up over the last few months due to Twitter moving to SF
9:06 pm
kje

yes... that sucked for me... I watched rents increase
9:07 pm
rururocks

yep.. a drag.. they'd been dropping previously
9:07 pm
kje

what % of their income do you think most SFians pay for rent
9:08 pm
rururocks

25%
9:08 pm
rururocks

that's a guess.
9:08 pm
kje

I bet it is higher
9:09 pm
rururocks

could be.. depends..
9:09 pm
kje

well, net vs gross, bet it is higher % of net than that
9:09 pm
rururocks

we'd been thinking of buying a loft in sf .. maybe when we sell our Calistoga property
9:10 pm
kje

sounds fun
9:10 pm
rururocks

yeah.. that'd be the best of both worlds
9:12 pm
kje

my med school loans will prevent that for my future ; )
9:12 pm
rururocks

yeah.. that's a tough one. .. the $$$ really rack up for that much education
9:13 pm
kje

it will go to the grave with me ; )
9:14 pm
rururocks

that might be true..lol
9:14 pm
rururocks

it'd be even more now.. with the costs at colleges
9:15 pm
rururocks

our friends kid is going to Stanford and it's an easy $600K for school
9:15 pm
kje

yes, I don't know how kids will do this... essentially we will be back to a day when only the rich can afford it
9:15 pm
rururocks

yup.. too true
9:16 pm
kje

I am the first in my fam to graduate college, so no family help... it is a killer
9:16 pm
rururocks

9:16 pm
rururocks

I had to pay my way through college too. no help for me either
9:17 pm
rururocks

But I'm not a Doctor either
9:17 pm
kje

thankfully no undergrad debt though due to scholarships and the Pell Grant which was decimated under Bush (but has come back a ittle)
9:17 pm
kje

without those Pell's, I prob would have had to drop
9:17 pm
rururocks

that's good.. so it could have been worse
9:18 pm
kje

yep
9:19 pm
kje

I had only about 3K from undergrad, mostly from my last semester, and that is paid off now
9:19 pm
rururocks

it (to me) is such a crime that costs are that high and that Doctors aren't paid enough for what they do.
9:20 pm
rururocks

I'd include teachers in that equation too
9:20 pm
kje

teachers are underpaid
9:20 pm

but our athletes are doing great!!! ; )

Boots n Saddles was where the Post Office/Store/Bar was when I went there. I now live in Wenham Ma and have actually visited Alice's Restaurant in Stockbridge Ma and know a guy who actually had a part in the movie. Yes I saw Neil Young and Joan Baez there quite by accident, near Pescadero beach. Just really pretty there!
