yes and no...basement is very cool; main floor was doing well till 6/21 - broke; they replaced a capacitor and we thot all was well, but today it seemed to be struggling... not sure if due to extreme temp of 107 or if something else is goofy; repairman only hear about 20 min, so not sure he fully checked a/c... we'll see in a day or too

We had to have blankets in that car. No turn indicators either, and of course no automatic transmission.

sweet dreams again jill!
1:29 am
Glantarell

the 1981 wedding was spectacular
1:32 am
stidmama

we got up to watch it on TV. I was so excited, I clipped and saved so many articles about it, and dreamed about all the interesting things that were going on.
1:34 am
Glantarell

she was beautiful - and so was the dress (although a bit fussy for my taste)
1:35 am
stidmama

It was a time of ruffles and lace, though -- and compared to some of the garments she might have chosen it was lovely. It seemed to suit her well.
1:35 am
Glantarell

yes, shame the whole thing led to such sadness
1:35 am
rururocks

are you talking about Diana
1:35 am
stidmama

She was only a few years older than me, but it felt like she lived in a completely different time and universe
1:35 am
stidmama

yes ruru
1:35 am
Glantarell

yes, Diana
1:36 am
rururocks

oh.. she seemed to be a lovely person.. I don't think I have ever forgiven Charles
1:36 am
Glantarell

don't think i have either
1:36 am
rururocks

not that he cares a whit
1:37 am
stidmama

unfortunately the world they live in uses people like that -- or did. I really hope that things are changing and that the new generation will have better and happier matches.
1:39 am
rururocks

not fond of Camilla either
1:40 am
rururocks

I have to say I like the boys and am warming up to the queen.
1:40 am
stidmama

okay,I am down to 24 and it's very late here. I think I will turn in.
1:41 am
rururocks

i'm stuck at 14
1:41 am
stidmama

I think that they have unfortunate lives... but I really admire Charles' commitment to better the earth. He really seems to take an interest in making the land healthy, and helping people take charge of how they interact with the environment. I know there are lots of problems everywhere, but at least he has something (other than polo) that he is passionate about.
1:45 am
stidmama

anyway... I don't know how I would feel if that family were even nominally in a position of authority over me. The relationship of constitutional monarch to the people doesn't completely make sense to me, other than that the queen is a beautiful example of a person who does her duty and cares for the people of her country. She seems to clarify and focus the concerns of the people at moments of crisis, and that is something our country seems to lack: a coherent, cohesive, constant symbol of unity.
1:45 am
dart001

agreed stid
1:45 am
stidmama

and with that bit of alliteration, I think I should retire. good night all, and have a lovely Friday! *poof*

1:56 am
negativeneil

And I'm going by a woman who was our neighbor in San ?Diego, ru... she had it done a few years ago after being pretty much crippled with bad knees. She could go up and downstairs like anyone else and even run for the bus after she healed from that surgery. Big difference.

... also learned when to shout
6:23 am

6:26 am
Uneaixoise

I had even gone to a math summer camp one year LOL
6:26 am
Uneaixoise

hee hee
6:26 am
doseffing

... my inexpert opinion is one of the problems is until calculus all the stuff is either about "discrete" numbers ... i.e. counting ... or is taught like it is ... so when you get the idea of "continuity" which is what calculus requires none of the stuff you've already learned seems to apply
6:27 am
rubyfoo

my high school math teacher had high hopes for me but was decu!
6:27 am
Uneaixoise

my high school math teacher never knew of my calculus debacle LOL

9:25 am

and I like elastic waists
9:26 am

let's hear it for the petites. lol
9:26 am
uusue2

blair.com, has pretty inexpensive clothes and I have found that their pants usually fit me pretty well - often when I find things that fit my hips they are too big at the waist
9:26 am

I tried buying "cropped" pants, figuring they'd be long enough NOT
9:26 am

<---- tall

yes, he was in the history dept and I was working on a masters' in design, back in the days of Buckminster Fuller

geodesic domes sound cool, though

berry crisp with sweet cream would cover all the food groups, I think
9:37 am
kje

will a dollop of plain Fage Total yogurt - that stuff is like whipped cream
9:38 am
rubyfoo

they're an odd space because the edges are useless, even if you're short

you might need a glass of OJ

I just read that the incidence of cardiac problems goes way down if you have a few cups a day
9:39 am

a few cups of what
9:39 am
rubyfoo

coffee
9:39 am
kje

coffee has some good benefits
9:40 am
uusue2

<--- drinking green tea at the moment
9:40 am
rubyfoo

yes, anti-oxidants
9:40 am
kje

funny to me that people often think coffee is bad and tea is good - they have most of the same properties and the health benefits of one (for whatever that's truly worth) are the same as the other
9:40 am
uusue2

although I drank enough coffee when I was younger, that if I live to 100 or so it should average out to a few cups a day
9:40 am

green tea has them, too
9:40 am

I like tea too
9:40 am

does green tea have caffeine?

next time you are in Paris, ruby - Marriage Frere in the Marais - just the smell walking into the place is heaven... centuries of tea and spice absorbed by those old wood floors and walls

9:44 am

Oh by Wednesday it should be a tad bit cooler.
10:51 am
bichon

I don't feel like going some place hotter than here. Hubby's family obligation
10:52 am
MollyL

And it's a good thing it will cool down for the 4th. Otherwise the medical folks on the mall will be doing triple time for all the people with heat exhaustion.
10:53 am
bichon

We're driving down on the 4th. What might the traffic be like on the Beltway? Is there a better route?
10:54 am
Picklesny

hi!
10:55 am
MollyL

On the 4th, you might luck out. Most of the traffic on the Beltway is before the 4th, people going in and out of town. But it's hard to avoid traffic on the Beltway any time.
10:55 am
MollyL

Hi Pickles
10:55 am
bichon

Don't I know that. I just thought there was another way around DC.
10:56 am
MollyL

There are other ways, but I would suggest you map one out on GPS or Google maps. It's tricky if you aren't familiar with the area.
10:57 am
MollyL

JMC might be a better resource to tap, she does more long distance driving than I do.
10:57 am

Thanks, I'll look on Google Maps

can't you go down I-81, Bichon?
11:21 am
bichon

where does that come from vis-a-vis I95?
11:21 am
CiociaJudy

may not be direct but better than DC! when I head to NE I go up I-81 to I think I-495?
11:23 am
CiociaJudy

I-84 connects with I-81
11:23 am
bichon

hmmm
11:24 am
bichon

but that's way west of CT
11:25 am
CiociaJudy

I see that now.
11:26 am

Maybe the Beltway won't be that bad on a mid-week 4th of July
11:26 am
CiociaJudy

remember that there are big fireworks in DC on the 4th!
11:27 am
bichon

We'll be there around early afternoon
11:30 am

the traffic WILL be bad - the 4th is huge, no matter day of week, all the events on the mall, etc

11:31 am
Picklesny

and whoopie
11:32 am
Kaplan the Magne

it is. PB, Pickes.
11:32 am
kje

I suggest leaving plenty of time, and consider parking in a suburb and taking the subway in or park even further out, and take the train. You can even park at the airport (BWI) or in baltimore and take Amtrak to Union, which is walking distance to most that you want, and metro service to everywhere
11:32 am
Picklesny

no accord to our game
11:32 am
Kaplan the Magne

No, it isn't. But I think you get half a PB for the first part of the word. What are they serving there?
11:33 am
bichon

no, we're going to Richmond, need to by-pass DC. Leaving from CT around 6 AM.
11:33 am
Kaplan the Magne

actually, spell it differently and you got it.
11:33 am
Kaplan the Magne

Change one letter.
11:33 am
kje

ah, sorry, misread
11:33 am
kje

you def need to byapss DC! lol
11:34 am
kje

just north of the city, as you go down 95, there will be a diversion to through traffic to richmond, take that
11:34 am
Picklesny

my bad to the pb
11:34 am
kje

will still have some traffic, but will miss the worst of it
11:34 am
Kaplan the Magne

What are they feeding the prisoners?
11:35 am
kje

would try to hit there early afternoon - late enough to miss worst of morning crowds going down, and early enough to miss afternoon/evening for fireworks
11:35 am
Picklesny

ice cold lemonade and key lime pie
11:35 am
Kaplan the Magne

Any chocolate>
11:36 am
Picklesny

eat it quickly it might melt
11:37 am
kje

but unless you really really must have your car, I am a big fan of Amtrak for any travel up and down the east coast
11:43 am
bichon

The journey will go like this. Even though I have told m.i.l. we will be there in the evening, she will call every hour from noon on to see if she should put the food she prepared on. When I tell here there's lots of traffic, she'll still keep call. and, we will have a 4 y.o. with us
11:43 am
kje

sounds delightful, bichon!
11:44 am
kje

of course, you don't have to answer the phone
11:44 am

tell her you turned it off so the 4yo can sleep!

Those doves released at weddings and other formal ceremonies are actually white homing pigeons. True ring-neck doves are bred to be kept as pets and rarely survive out of captivity.

as a bonus as i go for a power nap,here are 5 undeniable truths for any landlords or room renters out there....
12:54 pm
crosshair

1.The hot water heater pump that fails will only do so after 5:00 P.M. on Friday evening when every
tenant in the building is having a dinner party.
2.The next day , the only supplier in town that stocks parts for the pump tells you that the widget
needed to fix it is in a warehouse in Cleveland and the warehousemen there have been on strike for
seventeen weeks.
3.You are forced to buy a second rate heater and pump [sold only as a package] for six hundred and
fifty dollars, and have it installed by a plumber at double time rates on Sunday morning.
4.On Monday at 9:00:A.M. the strike is settled.
5.On Monday at 9:15:A.M. the hardware store owner calls and says he has found a box containing
thirty seven widgets on a shelf in his back room and he will sell one to you at the old price of ten
cents.
12:54 pm

I am well enough -- today is my day "off" to not be productive. So taking Grant and a young friend of ours on an outing.
12:55 pm
stidmama

Ah, cross, you've hit the nail on the head for sure!
12:55 pm
LeslieAnn

where to?
12:56 pm
stidmama

I think probably the Seattle Center. We have a membership to the Science Fiction/EMP museum which they enjoy, and then we can eat at one of my favorite restaurants before we go home.
12:57 pm
LeslieAnn

sci fi museum? sounds like just the thing for teen boys

I am not a desert person, myself -- have driven through a couple, but it's not a climate I like at all. Even living in non-desert grasslands is too dry for me.

I was such a sun-bunny in my earlier years. Now, the hotter it is the less I can take it...even if it IS a dry heat here. Monsoons are just around the corner. Not looking forward to that!

1:57 pm
Soodle

I don't think I'm hiding from anybody. But usually lurkers lurk in the undergrowth... Theres more Babblers here in the undergrowth than in the PB!!!! How are you Molls?
1:58 pm
MollyL

I know. It's become the trendy, new, "in thing" to be a lurker here. I'm fine. Glad it's the weekend.
2:00 pm
Soodle

I am not a lurker by nature. But my laptop is seriously ill (perhaps fatally ill), and I can only Babble on the smartphone, so chatting and Babbling is almost impossible. And yes, I will 'clink' to Friday!!
2:03 pm
MollyL

I don't know how you can post here or play here on that teeny tiny screen. I would go blind.
2:04 pm

2:09 pm

*Shudders* I'm so tired of "par-tay", "gawd" and "hawt". Although I can handle it better from a youngster than I can from an old fart.
2:10 pm
Soodle

Hawt?? I am saying that out loud, and still can't figure out what that's supposed to mean? Translation, please....
2:11 pm
Soodle

Hot?
2:12 pm

Hot. For some reason, the internet weird speakers say hawt for hot and gawd for God. I find it all incredibly stupid.
2:12 pm
MollyL

Best celebrity gossip of the day. Katie Holmes has FINALLY come to her senses and ended it with Tom Cruise.
2:13 pm

With an Irish accent, hot is pronounced HOSH. The soft 'T'.... the bane of the Irish accent.

Oh bless Katie. It took her quite a while to come to her senses.

So, uusue, what was the theory on the big bang at 10:33?
11:04 pm
Jillyjill

Hi stiddy. read your post...how are you feeling?
11:06 pm
uusue2

dunno, Jilly, lightning hit very close but nothing seems to be on fire and no power is out, so we are fine
11:06 pm
uusue2

we heard a sizzling noise and then a giant flash and crash of thunder all at once, so it was definitely near by
11:08 pm
Jillyjill

Wow, remember an episode like that when I spent the summer at my uncles farm in norther Wisconsin...the dog and I raced for space under the table!!
11:08 pm
stidmama

ouch, sue
11:08 pm
stidmama

I am better, thanks jilly -- the swelling is subsiding, and I told Grant what to look for in case it gets bad before I can reach my epipens. But it's not going to go there today, I think.
11:09 pm
stidmama

I was in a house that was struck by lightning once -- had a rod, but it was still REALLY LOUD.
11:09 pm
uusue2

wow, that is a relief, stid!
11:10 pm
Jillyjill

I had a really bad reaction to something last night...eyes swelled up, itched like crazy and my asthma hit big time...have NO idea what it could be but diphenhydramine took care of it overnight.
11:10 pm
Jillyjill

Ya stiddy, stopping breathing would be one....
11:10 pm
stidmama

oh man, jill -- I hate when that happens. *wonders where my inhaler got to*
11:11 pm
stidmama

Exactly, jilly. Sometimes the bp drops so fast I don't have time to react and it looks like I am napping... I tell people if I am napping at an inappropriate time go straight for the epipens.
11:11 pm
Jillyjill

LOL, I pitched mine at the cat during a night he was playing with the blinds at 3 AM...had one heck of a time finding it last night...
