6:25 am

We have lots of humidity! Not sure which I prefer.
6:25 am
crosshair

was down to -3 last night.winter is on it,s way
6:26 am
Lizlin

That's so cold. Which part of Canada are you in?
6:27 am
crosshair

liz,we are just in central ontario.our mean winter average have been off of late but remember in january and feb we average minus 15c to minus 22 c with odd dips to below minus 30;))
6:28 am
crosshair

i have see water freeze as you toss a cup of it into the air and it lands as snow
6:28 am
crosshair

hehe
6:28 am
crosshair

thats at minus 40
6:28 am
Lizlin

I guess if you live with those temperatures regularly, your houses and clothes are suited to them.
6:28 am
crosshair

they must be,yes
6:29 am
crosshair

minus 40 can kill if you are not prepared
6:29 am
Lizlin

That's why I whinge about the "cold" here - it gets to single figures but the houses do not have central heating!
6:29 am
crosshair

just like your +40-+50 can kill us if you did not baby us
6:30 am
Lizlin

Doesn't get that hot here, thankfully. Hottest - occasionally reaches 35 - more often 30 - 32 in the summer.
6:30 am
crosshair

i start falling apart if it gets above 35c or so lol
6:31 am
Lizlin

Don't think I could cope with it on a regular basis. Summer holidays in Europe - that was fine and the heat was dry, which helped.
6:32 am
crosshair

we do not get a dry heat here because of our large bodies of fresh water
6:33 am
sprite

I know everything about large bodies
6:33 am
sprite

Hello Babble friends ;)
6:33 am
Lizlin

It's dry here in winter - and warm during the day compared to many places - since we've been here it's not been lower than 13 during the day in winter - lower at night.

6:50 am
crosshair

huh,interesting work schedule
6:50 am
sprite

as for the eating part... he may have some trouble letting go in bed. But it is only a teeny bit, so I'd say he'd be ok with a bit of encouragement.
6:50 am
Trifioso

hes a firefighter for the city of boston, and that is how the union sets the schedule
6:50 am

Dont eat them.
7:26 am

I do feel bad for people who's business is predicated on them being available -the fried twinkie people for instance
7:26 am

even if you think he is a real prize, remember that so are you!
7:33 am
Trifioso

im going to date some other people too.....keep it all casual for a bit, see what just "dating" is like. never really did it before
7:33 am
Trifioso

THANK YOU molly! that would be the single greatest gift you could ever give me
7:34 am
MollyL

Seriously Trif, men don't do it, why should we.
7:35 am
Trifioso

if you could figure out how to do that, you would be a billionaire overnight
7:35 am
sprite

ain't that the truth.
7:36 am
Trifioso

PREACH
7:36 am
MollyL

It's mostly about living in the now and not running down "WHAT IF" Street.
7:37 am
Trifioso

gads molly, i wouldn't even know how to being. perhaps this is something i should focus on....eh?
7:37 am
Trifioso

begin, not being
7:38 am
MollyL

I think it's easier once you age a bit and realize that what you choose to worry about really doesn't affect outcome very much.
7:40 am
Mimicat42

Morning, all. I agree you should take it slowly, Trif. Remember, they're pretty much all great at first. Molly is right....deal with just now for awhile. Enjoy it while you can---reality comes quickly enough!
7:40 am
sprite

and have faith in yourself. I have found that is very important. You have managed very well so far. Trust yourself to be able to handle whatever comes your way.

hi Mimi

hmmm. sorry, wasn't ignoring you....just changing up my icon

and got me a 2nd cup :)
7:41 am

Hi, smores!!!

who let the dog out?
7:41 am
Mimicat42

Hi, sprite!
7:41 am
smores

Mimi :)
7:41 am
Trifioso

its two contradictory thoughts though, isn't it? On the one hand, take it slowly...and on the other, YOLO
7:41 am

morning all!
7:41 am

morning nonnie!
7:41 am

:o) I couldn't resist
7:42 am
Mimicat42

Also, Trif, be absolutely assured that HE is the one getting the prize. Maybe you are, too, but certainly be sure your self-esteem is intact to the max. It's not being conceited, it's being convinced!
7:43 am
sprite

take it slowly without fear, Trif... no fear he will not wait and no fear in case you forget to take it slow and submit to passionate firelighting.
7:43 am
Trifioso

seriously, we should set out chog advice books on the PB tables...."chog wisdom" in seven volumes
7:43 am
sprite

sounds like a plan, grin. They can sit next to the cook books.
7:44 am
Mimicat42

Trif, I could write a book all by myself...really. Lots of terrific men in my life (and a couple of stinkers)...but that's all history now. I'm DONE. Happy by myself.
7:45 am

i would happily read that book, mimi

thanks molly. someday.....
7:47 am
Mimicat42

Actually, I have started writing one. Everyone told me I should. I just can't decide whether to say it's fact or fiction....not sure I want to admit I've actually done some of these things! BTW, LONG time ago I went on a one-time date with Burt Reynolds....perfect gentleman---darn it!
7:48 am
MollyL

Thing is, you're on the way to someday. The trick is enjoying the ride. *Wink*
7:48 am

oh wow Mimi! Get going and please let us know when it is done. I'd take either fiction or fact... especially now I know it is fact ;)
7:48 am
Mimicat42

Molly, you are wise.
7:48 am
Trifioso

wow!!!! you should read chelsea handler's books. she puts it ALL out there, seemingly without fear. don't know how she can be so honest, but it works for her apparently
7:50 am
Mimicat42

Yeah, I'm starting to think fact is the way to go. After all, at 61 who cares what I did in the past? The grandkids will just think I'm colorful. Actually, my life often resembles an Escher print---goes round and round and hard to see a beginning or an end.
7:51 am
Trifioso

if you can redact something, why cant you dact it?
7:51 am
sprite

right you are, Trif
7:51 am
smores

I couldn't possibly write one until my girls are older lol
7:51 am
sprite

Mimi, if you have no regrets, looking back, why not go for fact... you are who you are because of the way you traveled.
7:52 am
Trifioso

okay, I am going to be slug lazy and go back to snooze for a bit, as I have the chance today. MUCH love to all my wise friends here!

I'm lucky to have my best friend of 43 years who can verify all these things actually happened...I did so much it even seems unbelievable to me sometimes! Right you are, sprite....very few regrets. I like who I am now and all those things created the me of today, so they're all good.

Speaking of dreams, I had a weird one Thurs. night. I was younger, still living at home with parents (but in the house I owned when married) and was engaged to the actor Val Kilmer! He treated me badly and I walked out on him. My head is often a very strange place to be. I like to visit it but wouldn't want to spend a lot of time!!!
7:55 am

Mimi, I am serious about wanting to read it. Let us know, please!

Absolutely do the home nurse. My best friend is taking care of her 83-year-oldl mother who fell and broke a hip and it is just about killing her. Her mother doesn't want a "stranger" in the house. Typically, she doesn't care how hard it is for her daughter...don't even get me started on that one.

hi car, I am doing ok. Frank is having trouble right now because he wants to cough but it hurts too much, which is hard to watch.

dacron is probably a trademark (proper noun)

Just make sure to take a few minutes for you each day, sweetie!

Frank has been coughing up some yucky stuff and is in a lot of pain
9:35 am
Anniebrook

sue, How is Frank doing? Any relief from the nausea and vomiting?
9:35 am
Anniebrook

Oh dear
9:38 am
uusue2

he went into emergency surgery on Thursday, annie, turned out a bit of his bowel near the ostomy site had died
9:38 am
uusue2

so they took it out; then they were able to reverse the ostomy since the other surgical site lower down had healed
9:39 am
uusue2

so that fixed the nausea but they had to open up the original incision again so the healing process starts all over again
9:40 am
uusue2

it has been one heck of a ride
9:41 am
Anniebrook

and now the coughing with pain. Sometimes if he has to cough he can hold a pillow against his abdomen (if he can without too much pain) and then cough. Yes, it has been one hell of a ride for both of you.
9:43 am

Sue, have you been home since all this started?
9:44 am
uusue2

he's got the pillow, annie, but things are very tender so it's tough
9:45 am

I haven't, molly, I did go out once and bought underwear (don't laugh, I needed it anyway, now when I do get home I can throw away the old shredded ones)
9:45 am

my house depresses me and I don't really want to go there
9:46 am
uusue2

also the animals will be all over me
9:46 am

It would probably do you a world of good to get out of that hospital, even if it's not to go home. Maybe when people come to visit, you can take a break.
9:46 am

10:11 am

I have a feline buddy that comes to my front deck almost daily, for a few months now. A sweet, cuddly Siamese with stunning blue eyes. I feed him and love him up. Word is that he belongs to a neighbor.
10:11 am
hurshy

he lost a bunch of weight. the vet tested his blood and urine. some kidney levels were just slightly elevated, nothing serious, so she just had me switch him to wet food. only the whole reason he's always been a skinny cat is that he is just not that into food. and with wet food you have to consume more volume to get the same calories. so it has been a challenging few weeks getting him to a point where he is willing to eat what he should.
10:12 am

10:15 am

Twice a day? How much does he weigh?

no, not much. a huge old oak was uprooted on the green and they found a skeleton under it.
10:16 am
Scrabbler

Oh, I read that story.
10:16 am

he is just over 8 pounds now. but i like to contrast his morning and evening weights and make sure he is on a good trajectory. he doesn't mind being weighed as it just involves sitting in a shoe box.

No surface water on park this morning but its beginning to look green again! Thunder starting to rumble!

Gwen, I lived in Milford for a year and in Hartland for a year. Know the area well. Most of the past 30 yrs. in Phoenix, though. I miss the lakes.
6:11 pm
Lizlin

Irritating and exhausting - judging by my hayfever
6:12 pm

i been to milford, but not hartland. also been to phoenix. much prefer michigan, even though i'm not into cold weather
6:13 pm

House clean time :( Back later for final 10 words
6:14 pm
Mimicat42

I'm not crazy about Phoenix, either, but have stayed here because my (grown) kids are here. However, as they get older I'm liking them less and less so considering a move to Seattle or somewhere else with regular rain. Miss thunderstorms.
6:15 pm
Mimicat42

I spent Christmas there every year for most of my 23-year marriage. There used to be a Chinese restaurant in Farmington that had great dinner rolls but I can't remember the name. The rolls tasted a bit like King's Hawaiian. Really good and for some reason they sold the rolls by themselves.
6:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i thought it was interesting, when i was in phoenix, that i kept driving over little concrete rivers (drains or irrigation?) and i assumed that residents could see how much water they had just by the levels in the little rivers
6:17 pm

sounds like the Great Wall, they had pretty good rolls, but they're gone now. aonther one with great rolls in House of Ing

I think those are the canals that the Colorado is funneled through. We're in a bad drought now. You can almost feel the earth gasping for moisture. Also, the political situation here totally sucks.
6:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

oh, yeah, do not get me started on the politics down there! then again we have a fascist governor too
6:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

we had six abllot proposals, of which three were good and i voted yes on those, but they all failed, since the opposing forces seemed to have bought up every second of tv ad time they could get (i don't watch regular tv anymore but i saw they crap at friend's houses)
6:23 pm
Mimicat42

In describing the politics here to a friend, I said to just imagine a giant hook grabbing Alabama of the 60's, flying it over to the west and dropping it and you've got Arizona.
6:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

egad, that was sposed to be ballot proposals.
6:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

that's too damn funny, mimic! ROFL
6:25 pm

Our governor shouldn't even be dogcatcher. I'd worry about her seeing this but I'm sure she can't spell so would have no use for this site.

On the other hand, Senator McCain is attempting to help me with an issue I'm having with Social Security....we won't even get started on THAT topic.
6:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

so, we've covered teh weather and politics, what's next? religion? LOL
6:30 pm
Mimicat42

NO!!! Don't care for religion but am spiritual. Seems you can almost never win by discussing it anyway.
6:31 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

ah, but one can discuss without trying to "win," i hope
6:32 pm
Mimicat42

I can but seldom find others that tolerant....especially here. I miss California....may end up there again. Anywhere but here!
6:32 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

anyway, i was just joking about talking religion. i know it can get ugly
6:32 pm
Mimicat42

Actually, I don't really mean ANYWHERE but here...lots of places I wouldn't trade for!
6:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

handy thing about living in the midwest is that shipping packages is a little cheaper; on the coast it costs more to ship to the other coast, depending on the service you use and all that

Mimi there are lots of nice Babblers near Seattle if that helps you choose where to move.
6:36 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

but bring a sweater LOL
6:37 pm
Mimicat42

I was raised in the Cincinnati area and am glad that's where I grew up---really good people. Bugs, I'd LOVE to move to Seattle. It's so beautiful there. I can spend hours at Pike's Place Market. The ferry rides are amazing, too. Love looking at the San Juans. No state income tax in WA and no state sales tax in OR, so you live in WA and shop in OR. I need to live somewhere cold, Gwen, as these days I look so much better with more clothes on.
6:39 pm
gapeach

Mimic at, I know exactly what your talking about your children....I feel the same way.
6:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

seasons are good. people who live where every season is the same tend to go a little nuts, IMO
6:39 pm
Bugsaw

lol.... me too peach but I wasn't sure I shud admit it.
6:39 pm
gapeach

you're - even
6:40 pm
Mimicat42

Yep, peach, when you raise your kids to think for themselves, it often comes back to bite you in the butt later! So THAT's why I'm crazy, huh, Bugs?!!
6:40 pm
Bugsaw

I live in BC Mimi and, while the damp can be annoying, we do have seasons and the cold goes away sooner than it does farther east
6:40 pm
Mimicat42

I adore BC and I am SOOOO envious!!
6:41 pm
Bugsaw

exactly. Insanity is inherited. You get it from your kids
6:41 pm
Bugsaw

all Babblers are always welcome to come stay for a bit.
6:41 pm

I say I want to reincarnate as the child of my children so I can get even.
6:42 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

hey, my parents raised me to think for myself! LOL
6:42 pm
Mimicat42

Hey, Bugs, I can be packed in an hour! (Kidding.)
6:43 pm
Bugsaw

Oh I love that!!! I will threaten my kids with that.... My mother always said I wud get the kids I deserved and I have passed that one along when they complain about the grandkids.
6:43 pm
Mimicat42

It's either reincarnation or I plan to haunt them mercilessly when I'm gone. Poltergeist has nothing on me.
6:44 pm
Bugsaw

My parents raised me to be independent too and some of the things I did shocked them (remember the 60s?) but I never broke the law or shamed their name.
6:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i don't remember the 60s but i have read about it . . .
6:45 pm
Mimicat42

Oh, yeah, I do kinda miss the 60's. I'm 61 and until 3 years ago I still sang with a classic rock band. I do miss that since I love to show off!

what about that big ole tree
8:29 pm
Dorens

so it was a veritable hallelujah.... hi ru. Had domaine de solitude last week, found it in maryland in a supermarket
8:29 pm
rururocks

oh .. and??????
8:30 pm
Dorens

that big ole tree is now gone, along with the huge spruce that came down with it. carted away... crane, big truck, etc. only 2 grand. OH, I liked it very much, of course
8:30 pm
rururocks

you had to pay for the tree to go away?
8:30 pm
rururocks

... was the solitude expensive or under $15?
8:31 pm
Dorens

well, it was sitting on my roof, so i thought it would be a good idea. solitude was 12.99, and worth it i think
8:31 pm
rururocks

yeah.....
8:31 pm
rururocks

great
8:32 pm
rururocks

doren takes tree hugging to a new extreme
8:32 pm
Dorens

i'll pick up a case when i'm down in baltimore next month.
i have a cousin who does actually hug trees (she's a jew-bu)
8:32 pm
rururocks

will your home owner's insurance reimburse you?
8:33 pm
rururocks

what's a jew-bu?
8:34 pm
Dorens

i'm hoping they will, but they haven't even sent out an adjustor yet. I also want them to pay for the roof repairs. of course i have a $500 deductible, like i had to pay when I had the power surge 6 months ago. I'm not doing too well here!!
jew-bu is jewish born, converted to buddhism
8:34 pm
MollyL

You can buy solitude in the grocery store? Who knew?
8:34 pm
rururocks

8:39 pm
Dorens

she is really a sweetie... the gentlest person around, .. reads a lot of dalai lama, goes to hear him when he's in town, and we were walking in my neighborhood and shse felt that she had to stop and hug this huge tree, which I'd passed a zillion times and never really noticed. Before that, I honestly thought tree-hugging was just a term. but she honestly did it
8:40 pm
rururocks

you have to branch out a bit doren
8:40 pm
Dorens

your bark is worse than your bite, ru
8:41 pm
rururocks

I'm going out on a limb on the next one
8:41 pm
rururocks

I'm sorry.. was that too sappy?
8:42 pm
Dorens

you need to get back to your roots, ru
8:42 pm

No offense to the tree huggers, we hope you don't leave.
