I think the jumping was yesterday and the cross-country was the day before that. I missed the first day. I have heard from others in the US that your coverage is more about the sports where the US will do well. Perhaps it wasn't shown where you are.
2:41 pm
bichon

Yes, I saw that Christine. Pretty impressive on the Austrians part
2:41 pm
Haz1558

Equestrian team events happened Monday/Tuesday with individual stuff still to happen. The BBC is giving coverage to just about everything.
2:41 pm
bichon

The American coverage is not the greatest. It's so overblown
2:41 pm
Bugsaw

the cross country course was quite tough andthere were a lot of spill from tired horses
2:42 pm
Christine

I think water polo is a dreadful waste of time/water.
2:42 pm

howdy bichon,was not ignoring you,was telling my brother to hustle over to outlook,com and grab a decent email addy as they are to phase out the @hotmail.com addys over the next year
2:42 pm
bichon

I wish we could get the BBC feed here.
2:42 pm
Bugsaw

Canadian networks are doing well too Haz. I bet you are all proud of how well GBR is doing
2:43 pm
Christine

I think NBC is the only non-cable station broadcasting the Games.
2:43 pm
Haz1558

They (the BBC) are showing Olympics on several channels with the opportunity to choose which sport you want to see. The choice can be dizzying.
2:43 pm
bichon

Can't wait til the swimming is over. Too US centric
2:43 pm
Bugsaw

try sports channels Christine. they have more
2:44 pm
crosshair

well,we pulled a batch of bronzes out of the water anyways
2:44 pm
Haz1558

GB is doing very well but I just enjoy watching everyone performing to the very best of their ability. The home crowd cheered Michael Phelps home because he's a phenomenal swimmer.
2:44 pm

and some silvers for the ladies 8 rowing
2:44 pm
bichon

The synchro divers from Canada are good. Surprised to see the US get medals
2:46 pm
Christine

The rowing is so beautiful - they make it look so easy, makes you think you could do it.
2:46 pm
Bugsaw

I won't get into heaven for this but I am glad when Michael Phelps does not win. He was just running on ego and the others have worked so hard
2:46 pm
bichon

Agreed Bug
2:46 pm
Christine

Oh, I'm sure he works hard, too.
2:47 pm
bichon

I don't know about that Christine.
2:47 pm
Bugsaw

agreed Christine until you see them at the end when they just fall all over and can barely hold up one finger to say they were first
2:47 pm
bichon

I think he worked hard for Beijing, but slacked off the last 4 years
2:47 pm
crosshair

lol christine,they do make it look easy,but see the arms and legs on those girls?? lol they could snap me in two
2:47 pm
Christine

Isn't the breast-stroke ugly, looks like humps in the water.
2:47 pm
Bugsaw

absolutely bichon.
2:48 pm
Bugsaw

They train here Crossy and they are all so tall as well. They look like beautiful giants
2:48 pm
bichon

The breast stroke is neat though. Much rather do that than the butterfly
2:48 pm
Christine

Next time around, I plan to stay size 6, and take up rowing. I think/know I'd swamp the boat if I got in today.
2:50 pm
bichon

any hints for an 8, pls
2:51 pm
Bugsaw

there is an ar 8 right after a 7 so maybe it is a plural

Hello, Dorens.

i have seen them cavorting in ponds as i canoe by; they are cute
3:03 pm
Haz1558

Will you be aiming to be in Rio with your canoe next Olympics, Dorens?

3:04 pm
Haz1558

I don't chat very much, Dorens, just now and again when I'm in the mood.
3:04 pm
crosshair

ever see them hold each other as they nap,so they do not drift apart? cute as heck
3:04 pm
Dorens

haha. i am sure they are vying for an overweight woman in her 60's to participate. Personally i would love to
3:05 pm
Dorens

ah, same here. and i am in the mood less and less. more interested in playing the game
3:05 pm
Haz1558

I was watching some of the canoe slalom course. It's far removed from a gentle paddle up and down the river.
3:05 pm
Christine

Doreens, I'll see you there - I'll be the (by then) 79yo size 6, rowing for England.
3:06 pm
Christine

Sorry - s/b Dorens
3:06 pm
Dorens

what i would love, would be to be in Rio. and that's about it... my canoe is actually more like a kayak... double paddle, but stil I do it in very gentle fashion
3:06 pm
Dorens

ok christine... you and i are racing!!
3:07 pm
Christine

Ddi you see the kayaks on the white water course? Very scary-looking
3:07 pm

hi there Haz, nice to see you

Dorens, four years to lose xxxxxx pounds - and learn to row. But that looks much like the physio machine, after my knee replacement.

Uh, more scary than exciting, and that was from my couch.
3:09 pm
Haz1558

Well now, there's hope for you ladies. One of GB gold medal winners in the rowing only took up the sport four years ago.
3:09 pm
Dorens

by then i'll probably be a candidate for one as well christine. and, haz, just what age is this GB gold medal winner??
3:09 pm
Christine

Yes, but was she 75 at the time? I saw there is a Japanese man who is in his 70s.

Dorens

ah... just turn the letters around and she and i are the same age then. hi sood
3:11 pm
Bugsaw

don't think peri. One horseman was 67 and the Cdn woman's cox is 53
3:11 pm
Christine

Oh Lord, at 26 I could've at least thought of learning a sport. Perhaps the man in his 70s is an official sideline-sitter - I could do that.
3:11 pm
periwinkle

ok,did not know that
3:13 pm
Soodle

Haz- wonderful to see the Craigavon team doing so well in the rowing.
3:13 pm
Haz1558

I wasn't that enthusiastic about the Olympics at the start but I've been sucked in and am enjoying seeing all the dedication and hard work of the sportsment in all the different disciplines.
3:14 pm
Haz1558

Soodles, it was great. I was urging them on!
3:14 pm
Dorens

they are oddly compelling. i am fine not turning them on, yet once they are on, it's hard to stop watching
3:15 pm

Haz is one of the best informed peopl I've come across.

Very nice, good service. Had a great time.

Hi Une, No celebs but good food and service.

good food is all that matters.

There was a picture of Babe Ruth and his signature which impressed Bobby. The ceiling made a hit with him too.

Uneaixoise

take me out of anything requiring a sense of direction! LOL

Absolutely.

3:29 pm

Uneaixoise

glad you agree, hego :-)
3:30 pm

so true, hego!
3:34 pm
Christine

Uneaixoise - I looked at your profile - a sanctuary for deaf dogs? Never heard of such a thing. My parents had a deaf Dalmation, I think he could read lips, because he'd stand right in fromt of you, with his head to one side.
3:35 pm
Uneaixoise

common among dalmatians . . . yes, this sanctuary/ranch just opened last week -- fabulous, eh?

Well, think of how many things you do remember, since you were just a baby.

WEe had a white Siamese - well he started out a Lavender Sewalpoint, then lost his color at about three months, but he was deaf, and one friend called him Catatonic, because he'd close his eyes ... and fall over. I have the same problem, so maybe I'm really a white cat ??

Hi Jill
4:19 pm
dianedecoder

Jilly.... Circle of Friends might be her best known, as they made a movie of it
4:20 pm
Glantarell

Thye are stories about people living ordinary lives in Ireland - they focus on human nature
4:20 pm
dianedecoder

Just down to earth good human stories... some romance, some history
4:20 pm
Soodle

Diane, Glan, I am so glad you both read her and enjoyed her. I was so sad to hear she died. i would have loved to have met her, and had a drink with her.
4:20 pm

4:20 pm

Sorry to hear about Maeve Binchy : (
4:22 pm
Soodle

I assure you...... You won't regret reading any of her books. thats a promise.
4:22 pm
dianedecoder

Yes Jilly, you must ! .... if you want a good clean read that tugs at the heart. You really get into the "people". Another "nice" author I like is Rosamund Pilcher.... for the same reason
4:23 pm
Soodle

have you read any of her books, Molls?
4:23 pm
MollyL

I felt the same way when John O'Donohue died, Soodle. I swear, that man was my long lost brother. I would love to have met him and had a drink (or two) with him.

4:27 pm
dianedecoder

Jilly... I really enjoy my Kobo reader, but they are going to have to give better prices on latest books. If I'm going to pay the same price as I pay at e.g. Costco, I might as well get the REAL book so that I can lend it over and over.
4:29 pm
cosdem

aww and i had the st7 already. absolutely loved that clue molly

Molly, I have downloaded some 99 cent books as well, so it all balances out. I can download ebooks from our local library, but haven't figured how to get them onto my Kobo. I am missing a strategic step concerning Adobe.... I'll figure it out though.
4:36 pm
cosdem

tyvm!
4:37 pm
MollyL

Adobe is not very user friendly.
4:37 pm
dianedecoder

also, the library is limited as to how many ebooks they have ... there are long waiting lists for the newest books... I had thought they would be limitless!
4:38 pm
dianedecoder

I really want to read Still Alice, so think I'll get it from Kobo.
4:38 pm
cosdem

oooh its dark .. black skies
4:38 pm
MollyL

I don't understand that either Diane.
4:39 pm
dianedecoder

I think they have to have a licence/permit for each ebook ....
4:39 pm
cosdem

thats what my library said, diane
4:39 pm
cosdem

costs them money to get a permit
4:40 pm
dianedecoder

that's what I understood too, cos.

4:51 pm
crosshair

diane,our library ebooks are limited to 8 copies of each at a time,when they are "loaned out" people wait.the method behind this madness is to get people who love the book to buy paper versions as well after the loan ends
4:54 pm
cosdem

hmm
4:54 pm
crosshair

their perfect vision is for us to still have 6000 purchaced paper books in our livingroom but also paid e-book copies of each on the ereader for travelling as well

Calvin: People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them. But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world. As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.

7:58 pm
MollyL

It's not where I am geographically. I live in a condo and don't have the space for berries. I'm on the ground floor so I use some space for other vegetables.
7:59 pm
Jillyjill

You can grow strawberries as a hanging plant molly.
7:59 pm

And red, eating prunes makes me feel old..eating dried plums does not.. ;)

8:22 pm
Jillyjill

I'm not very fa 4/7 at finishing grids. Many babblers are able to finish the puzzle fa 6/27 than I and they're able to finish li4/4less. For example,bichon,who lives on the ea 4/4 coast can usually find a va 4/7 amount of words in little or no time. Don't fa4/7 very well when it comes to babbling. I do not finish most grids.Most of the time I am not even in4/4 finishing grids. I am also a lo6/18. If somebody accidently posts their babble words into chog I take whatever words I can get! At times I get so lo 4/4 with clues given, that I just give up.Even though I'm not very good at finding words in the grid, I still have lo 4/4 of fun when I come to Babbleland.I love the way people ro4/4 for other people when they are close to the finish line. Husband, on the other hand, hates Babbleland. He thinks it totally ro 4/4! Husband believes that I come to the chog to lu 4/5 after other babblers. He also thinks I am looking for another su6/21 to sweep me off my feet He also thinks that it is not sa 4/7 for me attend babble meet-ups because I am meeting a bunch of strangers. I think he is so 4/4 of paranoid. Ra 4/4! My hubby wants computer. Husband is giving me this st5/10 look. If I do not give it to him, he will ra 4/4 and ra4/7 and re 6/18 that I hog the computer. I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and go watch Ar4/4 & Entertainment channel.I will not be back here anytime so 4/4. Ne 4/9 time I'll come here, will be tomorrow. I hope you have made no4/4 of my clues and found some more words.Goodbye for now!

The hardest transition in moving back to Montana was to return to discussion distances, not time for travel....

10:37 pm
Jillyjill

He, like our oldest son, kinda married too quickly...didn't know her well

Jillyjill

No ruru, she has two sons from a previous marriage; he didn't learn about them until after they were married
10:38 pm

Sorry to hear that, Jilly. That is very hard for a family to deal with.
10:38 pm
rururocks

oh boy.
10:39 pm
rururocks

can he get help in guam with a hospital?
10:39 pm

10:40 pm
Jillyjill

He's retired military so has full bennies
10:40 pm

We all had wondered why she didn't come to the family reunion with him this time....
10:41 pm

maybe that's a good thing jilly

I know someone who married into something like that, completely unaware. It was hard once the reality of things set in.

10:47 pm

you know though molly it was just not as understood as today
10:48 pm
rururocks

My mom would be in jail for what she did to us
10:48 pm
rururocks

if it were in today's world
10:48 pm
Jillyjill

No, we always think it's not understood now, but 40 years ago it really was a stigma...
10:49 pm
rururocks

.. but then she'd get some decorating tips from Martha Stewart
10:49 pm
MollyL

Yep. Didn't make it any less scary though.
10:49 pm

no.. it was plenty scary
10:49 pm
