Actually, I wish it were daytime, so I could see it (after watching all the junk during the daylight; it would have been nice to see a snowfall)
1:53 am
joshuavorbis

it's like a heavy summer rain, except instead of fat drops of water it is huge fluffy snowflakes that turn to slush immediately. lightning also
1:53 am
VolleymomDee

How much are you expecting, josh?
1:54 am
VolleymomDee

Always so strange to have lightning and snow simultaneously.
1:54 am

Sure Rose, just rain and more rain but no flooding!

We are just south of the "snow line", so I think we will only have a couple of inches.
1:57 am
VolleymomDee

My math skills are not what they used to be... I haven't used them enough in the past few years to remember automatically.
1:57 am

Not too bad I think Rose - haven't heard anything. Lots of showers according to the forecast!
1:57 am

I loved all math, except for geometry and story problems.

Looking at news, Rose, the river peaked last night and they're clearing up now.

2:08 am

it continues to be very cold here but when (if) the sun comes out in the afternoon, a little bit melts every day
2:08 am

I'm afraid it will all come down from the roof at once and kill somebody
2:09 am

this is the most snow we've have since we've been here and the temps haven't reached above freezing (exzcept in direct sun) in 2 months
2:09 am

You seem to be getting the snow we used to get, dart. We have had zippo the last few years, which seems so odd to me.

2:28 am
rubyfoo

2:28 am
Glantarell

2:28 am
Glantarell

2:28 am
rubyfoo

wow, that's a lot of stuff all at once
2:29 am
lynxxx

wow...a full renovation happening there
2:29 am
Glantarell

it is a great weight off my shoulders, but i think the looking after muma d trying to hold down a fiull time job 80 miles apart took their toll - i developed a nasty abscess under my jaw 2 weeks ago and have been off work for a week and a ahalf
2:30 am
rubyfoo

when it's all over, she'll probably want a little plastic surgery....lol
2:30 am
Glantarell

second set of antibiotics are kicking in, and i hope to lose 2 teeth before the weekend, because i can't get properly better till i do
2:30 am
lynxxx

tell her to ask if she can get some freebies while its all happening...maybe a mini face lift to make her feel better?
2:30 am
rubyfoo

and you'll want two weeks in a spa!
2:30 am
Glantarell

she's not the facelift ttype LOL
2:30 am
rubyfoo

snap, lynxx
2:31 am
lynxxx

Now that doesn't sound so hot Glant - a lot of pain I bet
2:31 am
Glantarell

yes lyn
2:32 am
Glantarell

i was alternating ibuprofen and paracetamol ag 2-3 hour intervals for a week, had to write it all down so i didn't kill myself LOL
2:32 am
Glantarell

but the pain is finally easing
2:32 am
flosey

just took a break, hello Glant, glad to hear things are your mom is getting the care she needs, sorry about your own problems, hope that is cleared up real soon
2:32 am
Glantarell

i need to lose the teeth but i cn't open my mouth fr enough yet - maybe tomorrow or friday
2:33 am
Glantarell

but at least i feel human today, had the fikrst whole night's sleep for a ten days last night
2:33 am
lynxxx

I remember getting a lot of abscesses under my teeth in my 20s but they don't sound as bad as yours
2:33 am
Glantarell

i had a lump the size of half a hen's egg last week, it's down to blackbird egg now :-)
2:35 am
rubyfoo

that sounds awful, glant, I wish I could send you some of my pain meds (and a little Xanax to help you sleep)
2:36 am
lynxxx

I believe that when you are under constant stress and running around your immune system weakens a lot and you are vulnerable to all sorts of stuff. It certainly does with me.
2:36 am
licketySplitAUS

Clues are up
2:36 am
lynxxx

Hey Lickety. And thanks
2:36 am
flosey

thanks lickety
2:36 am
Glantarell

just hoping it will be a distant memory before long and looking forward to eating something which doesn;t come via a straw
2:36 am
rubyfoo

I agree, lynxx, all of my allergies developed during stressful times
2:37 am
Glantarell

that's exactly what i think about immune systems Lyn
2:37 am
Glantarell

thanks Lickety
2:37 am
rubyfoo

if the straw is big enough, you can have smoothies with rum
2:37 am
Glantarell

they have warned me that one of the antibiotics i am taking will make me violently ill if i have alcohol
2:38 am
Glantarell

i am not risking trying to be sick when i can'topen my mouth LOL
2:38 am
rubyfoo

oh, sorry, didn't realize that
2:39 am
Glantarell

but i haven't felt like a drink in any case -
2:39 am
lynxxx

I hope you needed to lose some weight Glant - seems that that might be the only good side effect for you
2:39 am
Glantarell

yup, i needed to lose a lot of weight, this has shaved half a stone off me the last 2 weeks
2:40 am
Glantarell

the silver lining to this cloud :-)
2:41 am
rubyfoo

and by the time your mom is on her feet and your mouth is OK, the flowers will be up and it will be happy Spring!

way back, I said drop last letter
3:00 am
rubyfoo

a burger walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says "What, I can't hear you?' The burger replies "I'm a little horse"
3:00 am
flosey

lol ruby, that's cute
3:00 am
lynxxx

an old joke with a modern twist
3:00 am
Glantarell

has the horsemeat scandal made itself felt on the western side of the pond?
3:01 am
rubyfoo

I think labeling is stricter in the US, not that it protects people from antibiotics and worse
3:01 am
lynxxx

Its news down here...Ikea has assured everyone that their meatballs here are made from Australian beef
3:01 am
rubyfoo

years ago, when there was a beef boycott in the US, I ate horsemeat. No big deal except is was orange-y
3:01 am
Glantarell

the labels here are strict, but if somebody lies there is no system which can work
3:01 am
flosey

yes it has Glant - has been found in some places in Canada
3:02 am
herinfernallady

hi
3:02 am
Glantarell

i have no problem eating horsemeat f it is safe, i'd just like it labeled as such
3:02 am
Glantarell

hi herin, long time no see
3:02 am
Alexis Elise

Is Australian Beef made out of kangaroo?
3:02 am
lynxxx

hi Infernal!
3:02 am
herinfernallady

I have a huge problem with eating anything mislabbled
3:02 am
flosey

during the was, it was available in Quebec I think
3:02 am
rubyfoo

labelling in France is very lax, but the idea of horsemeat doesn't make people shudder as it's an old tradition here
3:02 am
Glantarell

i know i've eaten steak in france that was horse
3:02 am
rubyfoo

{{herinf}}
3:03 am
flosey

the ""war,
3:03 am
herinfernallady

howdy.
3:03 am
Glantarell

back in the 80s menus read 'steak' and beefsteak' in france
3:03 am
rubyfoo

it is very difficult unless you grow your own!
3:03 am
herinfernallady

Roo tastes and smells different
3:03 am
Glantarell

more livery, roo
3:03 am
Alexis Elise

I hope you're joking
3:03 am
Alexis Elise

I was kidding about the kangaroo
3:03 am
rubyfoo

the "bute" idea is another story -- burgers as painkillers!
3:04 am
herinfernallady

Nope not joking. Roo is redder and meatier.
3:04 am
Glantarell

um, kangaroo os eateb, as is ostrich Alexis
3:04 am
Glantarell

*eaten
3:04 am
herinfernallady

Wallaby is pretty good too
3:04 am
Alexis Elise

I didn't know people ate kangaroo
3:04 am
rubyfoo

and probably leaner
3:04 am
Glantarell

I have eaten it, it is like good steak but can be a bit dry if cooked too long
3:04 am
Alexis Elise

We have a problem here in southern California with people getting free dogs off craigslist and eating them
3:04 am
herinfernallady

The thing is most of the wild roos are wormy and gross and not fit to feed the dogs.
3:05 am
rubyfoo

in France they've eaten everything. There are no deer, squirrels or rabbits, and we live in the country
3:05 am
Glantarell

it's the quality of life and death for the animal which is important, not what species it is
3:05 am
rubyfoo

OMG, Alexis
3:05 am
flosey

Ostrich was being raised on Van. Island, don't know how well it sold
3:05 am
Glantarell

koreans have been eating dogs for millenia
3:05 am
lynxxx

It is pretty commonly available now Alexis - even in Supermarkets here (although not huge quantities)
3:06 am
rubyfoo

dogs are considered "winter meat" in Korea and China eeewww
3:06 am
Glantarell

i have a medieval cookbook, and if it moved, medieval folk ate it
3:06 am
rubyfoo

and we have chows....uh oh
3:06 am
lynxxx

and guinea pigs eaten in South America
3:06 am
Glantarell

all the little birds, hedgehogs, and lots of fish species which we say aren't fit to eat
3:06 am
Alexis Elise

Yes, Ruby... it is the immigrant population that is doing that here with the dogs
3:07 am
rubyfoo

it southern Italy they eat the tiny songbirds, catching them in nets blocking their flight paths
3:07 am
lynxxx

goodness imagine having to skin the chows - would it be worth the effort? and Stew would be safe - no meat on him
3:07 am
rubyfoo

certainly Americans wouldn't eat dog
3:07 am
Glantarell

i eat meat, but i know where it comes form and how it was raised, dn't buy supermarket meat
3:07 am
Alexis Elise

I'm sure there are Americans that would
3:07 am
rubyfoo

but you could sell the fur
3:08 am
rubyfoo

I am getting closer and closer to renouncing meat
3:08 am
lynxxx

they would make a lovely floor rug too Ruby!
3:08 am
herinfernallady

Alexia you would probably find the free dog thing is more for dog fighting than dog meat eating
3:08 am
Glantarell

i don't eat if often
3:08 am
Glantarell

once or twice a month
3:08 am
rubyfoo

I thought about having Ruby stuffed.... :(
3:09 am
rubyfoo

it is a week now and the new pup is coming next week
3:09 am
lynxxx

you couldn't do that - you would be mournful for ever
3:09 am
Alexis Elise

Actually, there is a big problem here with people eating dogs
3:09 am
lynxxx

and Ruffie would be extremely confused that Ruby wouldn't play with him
3:10 am
herinfernallady

Ruby did you lose another pup?
3:10 am
rubyfoo

last night, for the first time, he went on a serious hunt for her, having found the spot where she died and trying to follow the scent
3:10 am
rubyfoo

it was very sad
3:10 am
rubyfoo

yes, my Ruby's heart quit but she had had a good last 8 months and had reached her 10th birthday
3:11 am
herinfernallady

I am sorry Ruby. I have been awol for an age
3:11 am
rubyfoo

but Rafaella is coming from Spain on Tuesday or Wed. She's an 8 wk old beauty
3:12 am
rubyfoo

I've been spreading my sadness all over the chog, terribly self-indulgent, but it helped me through it
3:13 am
herinfernallady

So how many pups have you got now?
3:13 am
rubyfoo

since 1990, we've had six, but never more than 2 at a time
3:13 am
flosey

don't feel so indulgent ruby, we've all voiced sadness, etc, from time to time
3:13 am
rubyfoo

now it's just year-old Ruffino, who arrived a few days after Max died
3:13 am
flosey

and found relief from babble friends
3:14 am
rubyfoo

wtg lynxx...funny I just hit 60 :)
3:42 am
smores

Bye for now :)
3:43 am
herinfernallady

If it is an evap unit it wont do dick with humidity
3:44 am
grannyrose

oh, i've gotta tell you all. there has benn a major oops at work with the construction of our new operating suite.
3:44 am
herinfernallady

?
3:45 am
grannyrose

when they built the new theatres, they put clear glass panels in the doors. consequently, any patient going down the corridor on their way to theatre, can see right into the current operating session.
3:46 am
herinfernallady

That is very bad
3:47 am
herinfernallady

At least it isn't Stawell ER were you have to PAY to see a doctor
3:47 am
grannyrose

and they have completely forgotten to put any cupboards in the anaesthetic rooms. so, recovery is still having to store all the supplies for the operating rooms. aaarrggghhh!!
3:48 am
grannyrose

and any inquisitive child/person climbing on the boundary fence can see straight into recovery...go figure.let's hear it for patient privacy.
3:49 am
herinfernallady

As I said I couldn't believe that you have to pay for a doctor at Stawell public hospital
3:49 am
smores

wow...rose, that is very strange indeed
3:50 am
grannyrose

probably because it's a rural hospital, herin
3:51 am
herinfernallady

still I think it is a dick move

I can set my alarm to wake me up at a certain time..yet i most of the time will wake up about a minute before it goes off..strange really.
4:25 am

Yes, I use to do that as well....now I woke up a good hour or so before it goes off

Good for you Liz. There is nothing better than going out and getting a good soak in the rain.
6:04 am

Rain? Oh, yeah...I remember that.
6:04 am

We wouldn't have been out for days otherwise! But at least it's warm here! Rainjackets and shorts!

6:05 am
Lizlin

See lickety's up now though. Just looked!
6:05 am
Lizlin

There was an 8 yr drought before I moved here. i must've brought rain from the UK!
6:06 am

Did ivesy finally pass out or did I miss her saying bye?

last night, for the first time, Rufie went on a "Ruby hunt". He seemed to pick up her scent someplace and proceeded to sniff every possible part of the house and garden
6:13 am
MimiCat

Did anyone see the Oscars? Honestly, that Kristen Stewart needs an attitude adjustment. Not only can she not act, she always looks so dour. Hey, girl, you've got money and a great career---lighten up!
6:13 am
rubyfoo

yay zoozz!
6:14 am
MollyL

Ruby, you have more energy than I ever will. I don't know how you keep up with two, active dogs.
6:14 am
smores

aww...poor Rufie
6:14 am
Lizlin

Poor Rufie :(
6:14 am
smores

Agree Mimi....
6:15 am
rubyfoo

I don't do anything except write lists and prepare food (and maybe throw a toy or ten in the house)
6:15 am
MimiCat

Mind you, I can't even imagine HOW she got that career....can you say casting couch? Sorry, that was mean.
6:15 am
smores

I know what you mean Molly, can't imagine training a pup again.
6:15 am
MollyL

Kristen Stewart and Rene Zelwegger looked stoned at The Oscars. But then, they always look stoned.
6:15 am
Lizlin

And give them loads of hugs and loves
6:16 am
rubyfoo

we've had 6 chows so far and they;ve all arrived totally housebroken.
6:16 am
rubyfoo

Rafaella is younger, so maybe she won't be, but I'm not worried
6:16 am
Lizlin

Hoping the same for Raffie :)
6:16 am
MollyL

Oh there is so much more to training them than house breaking them.
6:16 am
smores

I don't know Molly, seems like Kristen would smile a bit if she were.
6:16 am
rubyfoo

I've sent some money already, so should know by tonight when and where
6:17 am
rubyfoo

chows are very well-behaved but not really trainable. They are more like (very large!) cats.
6:17 am
MollyL

That's true Smores, but I'm convinced the girl is a major stoner.
6:17 am
ivesy3

te 6/21 plz
6:17 am
MimiCat

I know. Did Kristen hurt her foot or leg? She as also limping. Love Rene's acting but she seems to have "issues." She was dating Bradley Cooper and somehow managed to let him get away....think I would have held him hostage! LOL, smores.

6:20 am

Speaking of cats, my Dodger is begging to be fed already. He thinks that just because I'm up, I should be feeding him.

MimiCat

It's also really weird---all three cats often seem to hear or see something back in the bedroom and are freaked out by it. I don't see or hear anything...should I be spooked?
6:21 am
MimiCat

Bye, ivesy. Hope you can sleep.
6:21 am
Lizlin

Sleep well ivesy :)
6:21 am
rubyfoo

there is probably a big (quiet) lizard under the bed....
6:23 am
MimiCat

Nope--don't have an "under the bed", ruby. It's just so freaky to see them perk their ears up and look toward that room like they're aware of something....hey, if there's a ghost here he/she can at least come out and talk to me...I'd enjoy it!
6:23 am
rubyfoo

just teasing you, mimi
6:23 am
rubyfoo

dogs do that, too, hear mystical stuff
6:24 am
MollyL

Dogs also hear at different frequencies than we do.
6:25 am
MimiCat

I'm convinced my Pywakit communicates telepathically with some spirit or angel....you wouldn't believe how he sometimes will pointedly stare at a blank wall and move his eyes like he's communicating. When that happens, I cannot distract him either. Very cool.
6:26 am
MimiCat

Makes sense, really. After all, he is named after a witch's familiar in Bell, Book and Candle.

9:47 am
MollyL

No, Hursh was almost right...
9:48 am
hokie carla

how many letters, Molly?
9:49 am
MollyL

i + shiny fabric
9:49 am
hokie carla

sue - is6, 7, & 8. per hurshy, i+fabric, then add a vowel, then a plural
9:49 am
MollyL

ep4, ep7 and ep8

i have a very trivial problem but i can't decide what to do
9:56 am
hurshy

perhaps the more trivial the problem, the more paralyzed one becomes
9:57 am
gemini_J13

I find that to be true
9:59 am
Michnick

hurshy, I have dealt with life changing and shattering decisions without aplomb, but take me to a nice restaurant, I can never decide what to order!!
9:59 am
hurshy

the problem is this. i wanted a carved wooden elephant. i ordered one. it took a long time to ship. in the meantime i thought i might prefer a different one by the same company. i emailed but it ended up being too late to switch the order. so, do i want to go through the hassle of returning and getting the other one, or not bother? the real problem is that every website i visit seems to know i ordered this and is showing me nothing but elephant sculptures so it keeps it in my mind!
9:59 am
LuvB

Still having trouble with ep 7&8
9:59 am
Michnick

I mean with aplomb (duh, go misuse fancy words and everyone knows you are dumb)
10:00 am
hurshy

i didn't even notice the typo mich :)
10:00 am
Michnick

How much would returning it set you back? How disappointed are you with the one you received?
10:01 am
hurshy

i don't know how much, i have to see what their return policies are. and i haven't actually received it yet, i think it's coming tomorrow.
10:02 am
hurshy

it is hard to say how much i prefer the other one. since i am probably only ever going to have one wooden elephant, maybe i want it to be just so. but then, neither of them are quite what i had in mind (i had seen one on a mr. rogers episode, that was the inspiration, but can't get one exactly like that)
10:02 am
Michnick

well, wait until tomorrow then, You may just love the one you are receiving. BTW, I hate when websites think they know my mind. I don't even like salespersons making suggestions, and they are human!!
10:02 am
hurshy

yeah it seems crazy that just because you buy one elephant they think it means you want to fill your house with a thousand other elephants
10:03 am
Michnick

Can you try and pull up both pictures and split the screen?
10:03 am
hurshy

or on amazon when you buy from someone's wish list and then amazon recommends stuff to you on that basis. but *i* didn't want that book, my friend did!
10:04 am
Michnick

I know Hursh, why can't they realize that because I bought one bread machine cookbook I want 12 others - who really needs more than one (ok, or 2)??
10:04 am
hurshy

maybe some items, cookbooks, you could use more than one. but like, let's say a mixer. you really are UNlikely to want more than one!
10:05 am
Michnick

Or a bed!!??
10:05 am

No Kate. It's an on-line ice skating web site. It has everything, but it's only in the US that it shows videos [at least I think that's the case]
2:51 pm

they don't have as much as they used to. they always get the olympics, but ctv usually has the 4 c's etc.... they had the us and cdn nationals, 4 c's, will have the worlds just ran the europeans 2 weeks ago...it's shameful reallyb how theyu have reduced coverage because it's too expensive to send crews overseas like they used to... and poker is so much cheaper to show, probably with more ad revenue :(((

you don't have to know a language (consciously, i mean) to speak some of it. e.g., i can sing a song in spanish without knowing spanish

7:51 pm
cosdem

i read in an article yesterday that when the Pope steps down he will trade in his red shoes for some "nice brown ones" he saw when visiting mexico... there was an article about that seriously
7:51 pm
rururocks

I read the same article
7:52 pm

7:53 pm
rururocks

7:53 pm

7:54 pm
cosdem

I used the same reasoning, Gwen, abou Jesus being gay :P
7:55 pm
rururocks

really.. don't all gay men have crosses to bear?
7:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

jesus actually hung out with both sexes, but the men who run the churches tend to leave the women out of the story
7:57 pm
rururocks

.. yeah.. book.. someone should nail down that story
7:57 pm
cosdem

Mary Magadelen had a bigger role than they say she did I think? (lol ru.. )
7:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

older editions of the bible have women's names and in newer editions they have miraculously been changed into men's names, hmmmm
7:59 pm
rururocks

that just proves he hung around with transvestites
7:59 pm
MollyL

Mary Magdalene had a much bigger role and there are those who believe that Jesus meant for her, not Peter, to carry on with his teachings.
8:00 pm
MollyL

Or her as well as Peter.
8:00 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

might have been no "dark ages" if there were some women running the church
8:01 pm
rururocks

it's ridiculous that women aren't allowed to be priests in the Catholic Church
8:01 pm
cosdem

ok I have a question that will make many catholics ashamed of me but its been so murky i never asked ..
8:01 pm

8:02 pm
rururocks

8:02 pm
cosdem

For the longest time I thought they were the same person so imagine my horror when I watched DaVinci Code lol... "Soo they say Jesus married his mother?"
8:03 pm
MollyL

No, that was a story fabricated about her because it was frowned upon that Jesus had taken a female apostle.
8:03 pm
rururocks

ah
8:04 pm
rururocks

bets she was a pistol of an apostle
8:04 pm

8:24 pm
rururocks

well molly pot is legal.. I'm sure they're so stoned that it doesn't matter

things are ok, got some clarification from Frank's doctor today that was kind of depressing
9:30 pm
Pinikula

oh, I'm sorry to hear that, uu...
9:30 pm
uusue2

we thought he was scheduled for 12 cycles of chemo and then would be done unless the cancer recurred; apparently not so much. Usually after 12 cycles people are ready for a break but how long he continues will be determined by how his scans look
9:31 pm
uusue2

and even if nothing shows up on the scan they may want to continue the chemo (? we are not exactly clear on this) to avoid recurrences
9:32 pm
Pinikula

oh my...i do hope the course is swift and doesn't cause him too much discomfort...perhaps the few extra are "better to be on the safe side" kinda thing? just a thought...
9:34 pm
uusue2

so far he is doing pretty well physically but it is a real emotional roller coaster
9:34 pm
uusue2

and he's just started his 6th cycle; after 12 he may be pretty frazzled physically as well, we'll just have to see
9:35 pm

I can only imagine...

11:45 pm
Lizlin

Hope so too, Sandy :)
11:45 pm
Lizlin

When is your rainy season?
11:46 pm

i think it's because the adults can be so critical. and when i think about it, there are usually a few doctors in the room while i am presenting. i'm afraid that one day i will make an absolute booboo.

strange you should ask that. the other day mother mac asked me why she had to visit our GP regularly, as she reckons i'm as good as a doctor. i, laughingly, told her we needed him to write her prescriptions.
