3:18 am
westford

I remember those days..someday he'll give you darling grandchildren
3:19 am
sprite

:D :D Does it sound stupid when I say I really look forward to grandchildren, even though I hope my kids won't start with kids of their own until they are a good ways into their twenties?
3:20 am
westford

not stupid at all..they'll be good parents..they have wonderful examples
3:20 am
sprite

awww that is a wonderful thing to say, west. Thank you :)
3:21 am

3:21 am
westford

and how is the furry boy?
3:22 am
sprite

absolutely. Did I tell you that my son has been going steady with a girl for 2 years now? That is pretty long at his age. If she is an example of his choice, he will do fi4. She is a good 'un.
3:22 am

the furry boy is awesome! Happy as can be, and totally adorable still.

3:25 am

Burt is realy looking forward to her visit, more than when it's his friends or his daughter visiting. Go figure!
3:30 am
sprite

oh yes, Burt and I and ruby will have fun. I have this odd feeling that I will like Burt a lot. I have a think for grumpy old men ;)
3:30 am
sprite

3:30 am
sprite

3:30 am
rubyfoo

3:31 am

3:33 am
westford

Natty Bumpo
3:34 am
rubyfoo

3:34 am
rubyfoo

he is the cutest and the BIGGEST pup. At 6 months I think he weighs about 40 lbs
3:35 am
westford

sprite won't miss Terra as much with your pups around
3:36 am
rubyfoo

it's hard to tell because I can't lift him any longer
3:36 am
westford

I wish I lived closer to both of you
3:37 am
rubyfoo

can you imagine what fun we three would have?
3:37 am
westford

Europe is so civilised
3:37 am
rubyfoo

except for my garden which looks a little jungle-ish
3:37 am
westford

oh yes that would be a blast
3:38 am
sprite

*kicks ruby gently in the behind for nagging about her beautiful garden*
3:38 am

3:41 am
sprite

I bet. Amazing, so big.
3:41 am
rubyfoo

3:42 am
rubyfoo

hail is beautiful, but scary
3:42 am
sprite

yes indeed.
3:42 am
westford

3:44 am
rubyfoo

wild fires are frightening AND unpredictable, dependent on local wind
3:44 am
sprite

:D good for him, west!
3:44 am
westford

it's nature's way..unfortunately that doesn't make people who lose their homes feel better
3:45 am
sprite

I would hate to lose my ho4 like that
3:45 am
westford

the fire is the size of Washington DC
3:45 am
rubyfoo

last year it was burning all around Austin, but John was lucky and had made all sorts of contingency plans. He and DIL are very organized
3:46 am
sprite

west, that is really scary. Something we can hardly imagine he4 in our small country.
3:46 am
westford

the volunteers are saving others' homes while theirs burn
3:46 am
rubyfoo

I guess the order of "saving" things is: dogs, photgraphs, mementos of my mother
3:46 am
westford

3:47 am

3:48 am

If you see sprite again, tell her a duck flew in! She'll understand
6:02 am
NonoNanette

6:03 am
NonoNanette

but I will pass the message along if I am still here
6:05 am
rubyfoo

6:05 am
rubyfoo

I've only made it twice before, but it's great fun to do it
6:05 am
rubyfoo

phantom: dobro -- weird guitar
6:06 am
NonoNanette

I take it you are planning to cook it while Sprite is visiting?
6:06 am
rubyfoo

sprite is arriving in the late afternoon and it will be ready for dinner1
6:06 am
rubyfoo

not duck a l'orange, duck a ruby with plums
6:06 am
NonoNanette

yummy what a nice welcoming meal
6:07 am
rubyfoo

after that, dinner will be "pick up" as lunches will be in restos
6:07 am
rubyfoo

but if the duck is a bust, you will all hear about it!
6:07 am
NonoNanette

good plan, don't waste your time together slaving in the kitchen
6:08 am
rubyfoo

we are going to play scrabble non-stop

6:24 am
Christine

Then, in England we say (as you splutter) 'cough up, chicken, it might be a gold watch"
6:24 am
sprite

ruby: wonderful about the duck!
6:24 am
rubyfoo

if it ever happened to me, husband would just stand th***, wouldn't have a clue
6:24 am
sprite

roflollll Christine!
6:25 am
Anniebrook

((ruby))I just told Bobby and he is delighted
6:25 am
rubyfoo

when I've needed adrenalin shots for severe allergy reactions, he just stood th***, incapacitated
6:25 am
sprite

I was showing him the vid I linked earlier... let me find it. It is so funny!
6:25 am
Christine

I haven't lived in England for more than 50 years, so perhaps they no longer say that in the east end of London.
6:25 am
rubyfoo

I could have died on the floor but, fortunately, I can give myself shots
6:26 am
sprite

this is the link:

6:26 am
sprite

not everybody is able to react aptly in crises. I am glad you could helpp yourself, ruby :)
6:27 am
rubyfoo

I wouldn't be around, otherwise! Have also learned hot to give him shots when he's laid up.
6:27 am
rubyfoo

how*
6:28 am
NonoNanette

for some reason both s's in the grid are invisable to me
6:28 am
sprite

naughty little Sses are hiding!
6:29 am
rubyfoo

can you all hear the barking? dogs are after something in the driveway! it's really loud!
6:30 am
sprite

dowwwwwwn boy!
6:30 am
NonoNanette

hope its not an intruder Ruby
6:30 am
rubyfoo

I think they would protect me with their lives, even the puppy
6:31 am
NonoNanette

I'm sure they would
6:31 am
rubyfoo

BTW, sprite, I never told B. what actually happened with Max. It is our secret!
6:32 am
NonoNanette

Ruby, what did happen to Max?
6:32 am
sprite

oh ok dear... what did you tell him then?
6:33 am
rubyfoo

he drowned in the fishpond where he had gone, every night for years, for his late-night drink
6:33 am
NonoNanette

awwwwe so sorry Ruby!
6:33 am
rubyfoo

I told Burt that somebody probably found him, wandering around, and adopted him to a good home as he was so sweet and beautiful
6:34 am
rubyfoo

no point in telling him what actually happened as he would have felt responsible
6:35 am
NonoNanette

agreed. No sense in beating himself up over something like that
6:35 am
rubyfoo

since it's "his" fishpond
6:35 am
sprite

very wise. I will not blab.
6:35 am
rubyfoo

happily, Rufie makes him smile again
6:36 am
rubyfoo

the truth may not always be the best thing; we have to protect those we love
6:36 am
sprite

in some instants, truth is overrated. I fully agree. No need to make him feel sad and bad.
6:37 am
grannyrose

waaahhhh, 1 to go....and i can't find it. :(
6:37 am
sprite

lolllll which starting letter and which length?
6:37 am
rubyfoo

he was so terribly broken up about Max's disappearance that the truth would only have made it worse -- and then Rufie came 10 days after!
6:38 am
grannyrose

it's a t and a t4, for goodness sake
6:38 am

6:43 am

6:44 am
sprite

hehehe sleep well, rose!
6:44 am
rubyfoo

bouron, hmm....
6:44 am
Anniebrook

sweet dreams, rose
6:44 am
rubyfoo

a little bitters, sugar and an orange slice -- how bad can that be
6:44 am
rubyfoo

or even bourb0n*
6:44 am
NonoNanette

finish the bourbon and you wont even need a bed Rose
6:45 am
grannyrose

have been lately, sprite. was over-tired on tuesday, but on the right track nwo.
6:45 am
rubyfoo

we have bees here, about 1 1/2 inches long, called bourdons and they are gorgeous and don't sting.
6:45 am
sprite

wtg rose. Take care of you. *hugs*
6:45 am
rubyfoo

when they come in the(always open) house, I rescue them
6:45 am
sprite

are they real bees, ruby, or humblebees?
6:46 am
rubyfoo

that's a good question. I've ordered a book on French insects because the locals don't have the needed science
6:46 am
rubyfoo

they are beautiful -- multicolored and fuzzy
6:46 am
grannyrose

ruby, when we went to NZ on our cruise, we saw the biggest bumblebees ever. they are just amazing.
6:46 am
sprite

bumblebees? Not sure, grin.
6:46 am
Christine

My Grandma taught us, if you speak quietly to them, and are gentle, you can put them outside, without being stung. Always works for me.
6:46 am
rubyfoo

and when they come in the house, Rufie barks at them
6:47 am
sprite

sounds like a bumblebee to me. They can take up so much pollen that they cannot fly anymore.
6:47 am
rubyfoo

me, too, Christine
6:47 am
Christine

humble bees, you say??
6:47 am
rubyfoo

I only sqush waps, because I'm afraid the dogs will get stung\
6:47 am
sprite

hm, I do something like that with wasps. I really hate wasps. I always tell them: ei6 you fly out by yourself now, or you will become a very very flat wasp. Always works.
6:47 am
rubyfoo

they are too proud to be humblebees
6:48 am
sprite

no, I think it is bumblebee, Christine.
6:48 am
grannyrose

so...it's nearly 10pm he4. think i might meander ( good word, meander) off to bed. night all. see you at the flip.
6:48 am
rubyfoo

maybe I should speak to our wasps in French but fortunately, they don't come in the house
6:48 am
NonoNanette

nite Rose, sleep well

7:42 am

What else are mornings to yourself for?
7:43 am
Trifioso

cleaning, laundry, phone calls, dog grooming, cleaning, gardening, cooking, cleaning, and oh yes, cleaning
7:46 am

molls you clue popped up after i went away. . . so ty and now i am leaving the computer completely for a while! *hands molls a tissue on the way out the chog*

why does molls need a tissue? are you sick sweetie?
7:48 am
Christine

her clue was ignored, and she's feeling down.
7:48 am
Trifioso

oh, yes, I see - sorry molly! the chog goes rather too fast for me sometimes
7:48 am
MollyL

Yes, but you can do all those things when others are around. True slothfulness is only achieved when alone.
7:49 am
Trifioso

good point, molly the wise!
7:49 am
Trifioso

and I like to rationalize it by saying that babble is keeping my gray matter perking, and thus therapeutic
7:49 am
MollyL

Exactly!
7:50 am
MollyL

Also, rest and doing things you enjoy are just as important as the responsible stuff. It keeps you balanced.
7:51 am
Trifioso

yes, but it is awkward when I was across the kitchen floor and it pulls my socks off
7:51 am
MollyL

Take your socks off.

10:41 am
crosshair

Many misconceptions exist about how often the Bridge is painted. Some say once every seven years, others say from end-to-end each year. Actually, the Bridge was painted when it was originally built. Until 1965, only touch up was required. In 1965, advancing corrosion sparked a program to remove the original lead-based paint (which was 68% red lead paste in a linseed oil carrier). The removal continued to 1995. In 1965, the original paint was replaced with an inorganic zinc silicate primer and acrylic emulsion topcoat. In the 1980s, this paint system was replaced by a water-borne inorganic zinc primer and an acrylic topcoat. The Bridge will continue to require routine touch up painting on an on-going basis
10:43 am
crosshair

Currently, a revered and rugged group of of 13 ironworkers and 3 pusher ironworkers along with and 28 painters, 5 painter laborers, and a chief bridge painter battle wind, sea air and fog, often suspended high above the Gate, to repair corroding steel. Ironworkers replace corroding steel and rivets with high-strength steel bolts, make small fabrications for use on the Bridge, and assist painters with their rigging. Ironworkers also remove plates and bars to provide access for painters to the interiors of the columns and chords that make up the Bridge. Painters prepare all Bridge surfaces and repaint all corroded areas.

Here is what Google says: LSD: Limited Slip Differential. In a 4x4 system powers front wheels only until those slip, then sends up to 45% of total power to rear wheels, depending on front-wheel traction. System can be manually locked into 4x4 mode with 55/45 front/rear power split for demanding conditions by pressing the LSD button.

I recognized my bite immediately, had to convince drs, there are recluse in new england and that my hubby got bit. They must come up in the landscaping plants from the south.

it is french and like a griddle pan over a grill and electric. you have little pans and in france you get raclette cheese which fits the small triangular pans and it is a soft cheese slice. so you cook whatever you want on the griddle and then put it in your pan with cheese on top under the grill to melt.here we can't get the cheese so i buy cheese slices

lilliann

i won't say too much on here but she was hurt today and texted me so i to say she was crowded and couldn't get away...so i rang the school...their response is why hasn't she seen any teachers about it and i tild them that she was told she'd get braed if she did and she didn't want tme to go and see the school yet as she wanted to sort it out herself as it would make it worse for her...well after today i couldn't keep quiet so now the school are sorting it out, so hopefully it will get sorted out once and for all!!

7:03 pm

9:07 pm
stidmama

hey all -- jes, I learned that our aquatic turtle NEEDS live food. He really yums up his worms nowadays. :-)
9:09 pm
jesdraggon

red eared slider? try to keep him eating some veggies-they'll eat all meat if you let them, but it's not the best diet.
9:09 pm
stidmama

no -- softshell little brown guy
9:10 pm
lilliann

wb stid...and yes...i'm still here :0 don't tell me off too much!!
9:10 pm
stidmama

we had been feeding pellets in the morning and dried shrimp at night, but all of a sudden he stopped eating and dug down in his sand most of the time.
9:10 pm
lilliann

is that a terrapin or turtle?
9:10 pm
stidmama

He has live plants in the tank (probably needs renewing) that he nibbles on sometimes, too.
9:10 pm
jesdraggon

softshell? what species?
9:10 pm
stidmama

we call them turtles, lilliann
9:10 pm
jesdraggon

i don't think i've ever seen one in person....
9:10 pm
stidmama

hold on, I can remember this
9:11 pm
lilliann

well terrapins are small and you can keep them in aquauraiums
9:11 pm
stidmama

apalone spinifera
9:11 pm
stidmama

I have pictures of our little guy. hold on, will load them.
9:12 pm
lilliann

turtles ae alot bigger and you normally see them in aquariums as in where people see other big fish
9:13 pm
jesdraggon

not common as pets at all, stid
9:14 pm
lilliann

* i meant to say that terrapins are in big ....sory memory gone...i can see the picture but can't remember the word....
9:14 pm
stidmama

I know, he was a science teacher's critter, and I know it's not smart to release back to the wild, so we are loving him now. For about five years.
9:15 pm
lilliann

so that would be a terrapin?
9:16 pm
jesdraggon

don't generally use terrapin in the US, lillian, except to refer to specific species (diamondback terrapin). usually turtle = aquatic, tortoise = lives on land
9:16 pm
jesdraggon

doesn't matter how big or small they are
9:17 pm
lilliann

in the uk, we have terrapins in a tank...they are tiny little turtles...won't grow any bigger
9:18 pm
lilliann

turtles to us live in the sea and tortoises are big shelled and live on land
9:19 pm
stidmama

okay, I think I got it for my icon. An unusual angle, he was looking at me through the tank. Usually the pics online show the speckled back
9:19 pm
jesdraggon

changed in the chat, but still has your previous pick when i open your profile :(
9:20 pm
stidmama

The neck can extend about 8 inches, about as long as his shell. This type can actually breathe through their skin for many days if they need to.
9:20 pm
stidmama

You can copy the profile url and paste it into your browser and refresh it that way.
9:20 pm
lilliann

i can't see it stid:(
9:20 pm
jesdraggon

one of the species that doesn't ever leave the water, right?
9:20 pm
stidmama

meaning -- they can exchange oxygen directly from the water through their skin.
9:20 pm
lilliann

i've refreshed here and can't see it6
9:21 pm
stidmama

here's the url http://www.playbabble.com/profile_mini
.php?id=19085
9:21 pm
stidmama

oh, he likes to sun himself once or twice a day, but yes he is very happy to be completely submerged for hours at a time
9:22 pm
lilliann

i think they are cute stid, my friend when i was about 15 had two and i use to love watching them
9:23 pm
stidmama

or you can look here, I just put it on the website, will add more later
9:23 pm

I should say, usually the water is more clear, the day before we change it often gets pretty algae filled really fast.

9:29 pm

hahahhhaaa.
9:30 pm
jesdraggon

yeah, he was married before me too
9:30 pm
jesdraggon

he's not the sweet and innocent young gent you pictured...
9:31 pm
stidmama

well, I think you will do a great job. One of the best parenting books ever imho is "the dog-trainer's guide to parenting" really -- and you are already good with animals. The key is consistent, small increments of change (when possible) and logical consequences to include noticing when the critter does things right.
9:31 pm
stidmama

um, when the KID does things right.
9:31 pm
lilliann

no krysten
9:32 pm
jesdraggon

heheh. one of my favorite lines from my college psych text was "parents and other trainers of small animals"
9:32 pm
stidmama

who's krysten? *confused mama look* and lilliann -- are you okay? I am not grumpy to still see you, just um, a little worried you may not be pain-free.
9:32 pm
stidmama

sounds like a great text, jes
9:32 pm
Krysten

It's pretty cool. A bit historic since no one has done this before.
9:32 pm
cosdem

hey im in the grid! ho4
9:32 pm
jesdraggon

mostly, kid's been really good for us but acting out for his mom and step-dad. and i have serious issues with some of their "training" techniques...
9:33 pm

oh! hi krysten! missed your entrance
9:33 pm

9:34 pm
cosdem

can i have a clue for the ho5/14 after the plural gay men?
9:34 pm
stidmama

kids who change households sometimes start out being on best behavior and then test a LOT to see if they are really wanted. *battens down hatches between this location and that*
9:34 pm
stidmama

a type of lawnmower or car or motorcycle, cos
9:34 pm
stidmama

at least that is the one I have
9:35 pm
lilliann

ho5/14, car or motorcycle
9:35 pm
cosdem

ah thanks
9:35 pm
stidmama

actually, our propane generator is also that name.
9:35 pm
jesdraggon

yeah, there's a reasonable chance he'll act out more for us when he's been with us longer, but we'll see.
9:36 pm
Krysten

Woohoo...welcome to Canada, Nik!
9:36 pm
jesdraggon

not going to hold against him the stuff he was doing th5, because I think a lot of it was passive-aggressively trying to get kicked out. He REALLY doesn't get on with step-dad, but didn't want to hurt mom's feelers by asking to move up to dad's
9:36 pm
stidmama

someone told me once that my kids acting out was a good thing because it meant that they trusted me... not sure I wanted quite that level of trust LOL
9:37 pm
jesdraggon

and we have significantly different views on what constitutes "bad" than his mom and step-dad do... we, for instance, think it's normal for a 15 year old boy to google "cheerleaders" and look at pictures of girls in bikinis. This is apparently grounds for being kicked off the internet for over a year at his mom's place.
9:39 pm
stidmama

wow. not going to step in that one myself...
9:39 pm
lilliann

my bairn is into the "swearing" at me at the moment but that what is what all the bairns do at her school....i'm still not imptressed
9:39 pm

cosdem

what if he looked up dirty words int he dictionary? would the dictionary be trashed? :)
9:40 pm
cosdem

ok sorry that was a bad joke
9:40 pm
stidmama

our boys pretty much have free reign online BUT if we discover they are sexting or otherwise being troll-like we reserve the right to kick their butts into three parallel universes laterally...
9:40 pm
jesdraggon

he'll have to work a lot harder to be in trouble with us, i think... and he's possibly too laid back (lazy?) to bother. hah!
9:41 pm
jesdraggon

i dunno, cos. tough to say. it's possible; his cell phone (a gift to him from his grandmother, who is paying the fees) was taken away because he had a picture of a girl on it.
9:41 pm
jesdraggon

mom/step-dad didn't bother to tell grandma the phone was banished so she could stop paying the monthlies though....
9:41 pm
cosdem

wow. hope he'll be happy with you guys!
9:42 pm
Krysten

Yay! Great job, Nik. Breathtaking!
9:42 pm
stidmama

I think you'll do a fine job, and I know he'll be safe with you. Does he like critters?
9:42 pm
cosdem

mo7 please
9:42 pm
jesdraggon

heheh. indeed, stid. We told him we don't care what he looks at, as long as it's LEGAL - no kid porn on our computers, and pointed out that pictures of himself and/or his classmates count as kiddie porn because he's underage, so NO PICS OF YOUR JUNK, BOY.
9:42 pm
stidmama

btw Krysten, that event is not being shown where we live yet.
9:43 pm
cosdem

lol good for you jes :)
9:43 pm
jesdraggon

he seems to like them; he's not an avid wants-his-own-dog kind (so far, anyway) but he plays with the critters we have, and may want one/a few of his own now that he's going to be around more.
9:44 pm
Krysten

That's too bad. So cool. He made it across like it was nothing.
9:44 pm
stidmama

It will be settling for him, perhaps, to have critters to think about and care for.
9:44 pm
cosdem

nvm found the mo7
9:44 pm
stidmama

thanks for blowing the suspense, krysten!
9:45 pm
stidmama

Eek! Sorry!
