3:09 am
grannyrose

3:09 am
gapeach

lynx is right, ruby.....you do need to get something hot in a cup and wrap your hands around it too.
3:10 am
lynxxx

70 is the new 55, haven't you heard?
3:10 am
rubyfoo

do you have a little garden stool for weeding, rosem so that you don't have to get all the way down?
3:10 am
grannyrose

ruby, you are a VERY young 70....the pics do not lie, hun
3:10 am
gapeach

I'm so glad you could get out and do what you love to do, rose.
3:11 am
grannyrose

yes, my friend, i do....but today was mostly pruning...particularly the ginger plants...they have gone ballistic!!!!
3:11 am
rubyfoo

we had such a miserable winter but the weeds loved it I did many hours of weeding last week preparatory to getting all those plants in the ground. I won't know what survived until it warms up again
3:11 am
grannyrose

awww, thanx, peach. first time in nearly 4 years. with don beside me, i can achieve miracles.
3:12 am
rubyfoo

it woud be interesting to compare our gardens, rose, you with your sub-tropial and exotic plants and me with my English garden (via Martha Stewart)
3:13 am
grannyrose

lol, have found my cacti and succulent rockery again. *sigh* have lost a lot, but have many to put in the ground.
3:13 am

3:14 am

this looks like a delicious grid but he is waiting for his apero upstairs, so I'll have to come back.
3:14 am
rubyfoo

It was lovely to see my friends, if only for a minute!
3:15 am
grannyrose

who says he knows his way around a garden? his idea of gardening is to let fly with the slasher, roses, geraniums, buttercups, onion weed...it doesn't matter...they all get cut to ground level.

3:48 am
sprite

put away that shame, rose. If anyone needs something like that, it is you. Both as a reward, and because you NEED it. Being on those feet for such long shifts. Good for you!
3:48 am

smores

Yes, rose..is it back?
5:26 am
grannyrose

apart from at least 4 other bird calls, the sound of a fire-engine, and the postman's bike, it has now mastered the sound of squeaky car brakes( our garbage truck). it's driving hubby nuts!
5:26 am
grannyrose

particularly when it makes the sound at 2am...
5:26 am

7:41 am
MimiCat

It just baffles me what any of these people think they're going to accomplish through this kind of thing. All this one accomplished was throwing his life away. Not to mention all the people who either died or whose lives will never be the same. Has crazy become contagious?!!
7:42 am
Anniebrook

They have so much hatred that senseless acts seem logical to them
7:42 am

"Crazy" thinks it is smarter than everyone else and that it's agenda supersedes the needs and rights of others.

Cats killing birds. It's one of the reasons I am not a cat lover.
7:53 am

New made-up word: deslim -- to get fat.

Which will probably get me sent to the stockade here.
7:53 am
smores

ahh...yeah I'm not fond of that part of their make-up either
7:54 am
MimiCat

Molly, I had two cats when I also had two lovebirds (grossly misnamed birds) and the cats would run away from them!
7:55 am
smores

lol...nah Molly, you are more that entitled to your opinion about cat
7:55 am

my ats never brought me any birds. they did bring mice and voles.

We used to have lovebirds Mimi...agree about the misname
7:56 am

but i think there have been studies esp in UK about cats catching birds
7:57 am
smores

:) definately never have a problem with mice
7:57 am
MimiCat

I'm glad to have cats here because if a scorpion ever gets in the house the cats kill it immediately. They instinctively know to lob off the tail first even though cats are immune to scorpion venom.
7:58 am
smores

hehe..I don't have to worry about them, but happy you don't either :)
7:58 am
smores

They study cats catching birds...really
8:00 am
MimiCat

Totally off the subject---has anyone else in the "older" age category tried to find a job? Employers are getting around the law against asking age/birth date by asking what year you graduated from high school and that's legal...I called the EOC.
8:00 am
MimiCat

When applying online, any company that asks that question on the application never gets back to me.
8:01 am

Yes, I've had that too

I have so many skills and so much experience plus can no longer get pregnant, have PMS, have to care for small children who get sick...my time is my own and am willing to work weekends, stay late....seems like a bargain to me....wake up employers!!
8:03 am
smores

I know what ya mean
8:04 am
MimiCat

This is the first year in quite a long time I'm actually glad to be getting older....I get my first early retirement check on July 3....I really need it!
8:05 am
smores

Oh, you took early retirement?
8:05 am
smores

I didn't know...good for you
8:06 am
MimiCat

Yep---no choice--need the money. Besides, you don't actually lose any money by doing so, you just get less on a monthly basis. The amount you've accrued is still the same. Then when my ex turns 62 in another year and a half I can switch over to his rate which will at least double mine.
8:07 am
smores

nice...so are you still wanting to find a job?
8:09 am
MimiCat

Oh, yes, still trying. I won't be getting much retirement money until I can switch over. But they only allow you to make $15,500 per year in addition to retirement money until age 65 and then you can earn as much as you want. Stupid, arbitrary rules.
8:09 am
smores

Oh cool...I thought it was a lot less...that was why I asked
8:10 am
MimiCat

I decided a long time ago I was going to take early retirement money because no one knows how long they'll live so might as well get what you can while you can. Of course, if you live a really long time you just may run out---that's the difficulty.
8:11 am
smores

so true
8:12 am
MimiCat

I've nearly died 3 times already and am a bit concerned God is going to leave me down here a really long time because he doesn't want me up there criticizing the way He's doing things....it's like he's saying "Leave her down there, I don't need the grief!"

Yes, the parents are claiming the FBI told the suspect that they were afraid of him. I understand not wanting to think the worst about your kid, but come on.

the FBI told him his own parents were afraid of him you mean?

I don't find it objectionable. I find it far fetched.
10:11 am

oh. i mean, i think anybody would be afraid of someone who might or might not have more bombs that might kill more people. not that they felt that visceral personal fear but that they were afraid of what he would do.

10:32 am
LeslieAnn

yeah but forgetting to call and killing 4 people are pretty different animals
10:33 am
MollyL

I never said I thought what the parents were doing was strange. I just took issue with the idea that FBI agents would tell someone they are afraid of him. Loved ones are often in denial about such things.
10:33 am
Mary

can someone clue the 2 i words first column?
10:33 am
jwr

I'm stuck so I might as well add my mi-- worth: This is the parents reporting? And the media interpreting? Don't trust either. Like the old whispering game: when the phrase gets round, it's lost its meaning. Say, in talking about why they have to use certain tactics, need information, must prepare to kill the bomber, it's a fake-polite formality: "We're afraid we have to ...." or more directly. "Yes, we're afraid of what he could do if he's not caught quickly; he's out of control."

Well, it was a direct quote from the mother...In her interview with Russia Today, Tsarnaeva suggested FBI officers had visited her home when she still lived in the United States and told her that Tamerlan "was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him."

The family entered this country as political asylum refugees. They get all benefits immediately, they were getting an education but the hatred is so strong they really don't give a damn about people in this country even tho the younger brother was a citizen.

By the Adriatic waters Venetian sons and daughters
Are strumming a new tune upon their guitars.
It was written by a Latin, a gondolier who sat in
His home out in Brooklyn and gazed at the stars.
He sent his melody across the sea to Italy,
And we know they wrote some words to fit that catchy bit
And christened it the Piccolino.
And we know that it's the reason why
Ev'ryone this season is strumming and humming a new melody.
Come to the Casino and hear them play the Piccolino.
Dance with your bambino to the strains of the catchy Piccolino.
Drink your glass of Vino, and when you've had your plate of Scallopino,
Make them play the Piccolino, the catchy Piccolino.
And dance to the strains of that new melody, the Piccolino.

now,i can do you a speckled trout shore lunch that will bring a tear of joy to yer eye
1:17 pm

I am so sleepy, but am not a napper. Whenever I nap I awake with a migraine.
1:17 pm
crosshair

loves lobster.no i do not care for cow tongues
1:17 pm
welki

*pulls up a log and waits for crossy's shore lunch*
1:17 pm
welki

scrabs? have you ever been tested for sleep apnea? just a thought
1:17 pm
Scrabbler

No meat, fish or seafood for me. I cannot eat animals.
1:18 pm
Scrabbler

I did not sleep enough last night. I was revved up from watching the Boston manhunt, and I was on call. I am on call til MOnday at 8am.
1:19 pm
welki

was wondering if the napping/migraines might be associated with apnea
1:19 pm
Scrabbler

I was tested for sleep apnea 6 yrs ago--mild issues only.
1:20 pm
welki

would have been an easy fix
1:21 pm
Scrabbler

I sleep well typically, if given enough time.
1:21 pm
welki

if you can get your hands on a cpap machine and mask, maybe give it a shot during naptime - could be you have more serious apnea during daytime sleep
1:21 pm
welki

(especially if your sleep position is different than your nighttime posture)
1:22 pm
Scrabbler

I do have a CPAP machine but haven't us4 it since last summer. Laziness, I guess, and I am not sure I really need it.
1:23 pm
welki

haul it out and give it a try when napping - you might wake up happy and pain free
1:23 pm
Scrabbler

I need to get new tubing and mask.
1:24 pm
welki

uhm - yeah, so? LOL
1:24 pm
Scrabbler

I plan to go to the shop for new equipment.
1:25 pm
crosshair

i have apnea/no migraines
1:25 pm
crosshair

crossy needs new tubing and mask also
1:25 pm
welki

but you're also on cpap
1:25 pm
Scrabbler

I started having migraines after a head injury 32 yrs ago.
1:25 pm
crosshair

i also do not care for the machine
1:25 pm
Scrabbler

And I continued to have migraines when using CPAP.
1:26 pm
welki

i'm not saying that there's a correlation between scrab's apnea and her daytime nap-related migraines, just that it's worth a shot to try the cpap when napping
1:26 pm
welki

i can't sleep without mine - or won't. haven't missed a night since i started, even while in hospital and camping
1:27 pm
crosshair

it is.i know we are better for using the machines,but heck they are so hard to wear!
1:27 pm
welki

then you need to find a better machine and/or mask - takes some time, patience and variety to find the right match
1:28 pm
Scrabbler

My brain is exquisitely sensitive to altered sleep patterns. I cannot stay up late and sleep in late. I awake with a migraine. I also must eat every 3 hrs or so. Low blood sugar triggers a migraine.
1:28 pm
welki

my husband was a snorer, too - ohhh, how he snored. now we look like mr. and mrs. snuffleupagus at bedtime :)
1:28 pm
Scrabbler

Hahaha
1:28 pm
crosshair

i have a 1000 dollar machine.my proble arises because i cannot use the nasal insert due to nose/sinus issues but have to use a full mask
1:29 pm
crosshair

and ole crossy can snore the paint off the bedroom walls hehe
1:29 pm
welki

how about just a nasal mask that covers only your nose? (like the resmed ultra mirage)
1:29 pm
crosshair

cannot use nasal mask see below
1:30 pm
Scrabbler

I like the nasal pads best.
1:30 pm
crosshair

wish i could
1:30 pm
crosshair

of course if i lost 50 pounds the apnea would ease a bit i am sure
1:31 pm
welki

you said 'nasal insert' which i translated to nasal pillows (like i use) - i'm talking about something that doesn't go into your nares at all, but covers your nose - you can breathe out of one or two nostrils with nothing in there to bother you
1:31 pm
welki

unless what you're saying is that your nose is completely and totally stuffed up - then yeah, i guess you need either a full face or mouth mask
1:32 pm
crosshair

yup,total stufface whn sleeping
1:32 pm
Scrabbler

You just need to be intubated and sedated, crossy. Haha.
1:32 pm
crosshair

lol,scrabby wife says same
1:33 pm
welki

you know, there's a mask called liberty hybrid that someone's modified for mouth only breathers - let me find the link
1:33 pm
crosshair

sadly i react badly to anastetic as well,stopped breathing last operation and woke up in the revoery room with o2/sat alarms going off and the nurse telling me to breathe
1:33 pm
welki

and i'd bet that there are mouth/only masks somewhere
1:33 pm
Scrabbler

Crossy, you need a personal anesthesiologist.
1:34 pm
crosshair

there we go:)
1:34 pm
crosshair

sadly i do not think my provincial health care card will cover that
1:34 pm
welki

aha! fisher paykel makes a mask called oracle - mouth only, no nasal involvement! http://tinyurl.com/cg7m6d3
1:35 pm
crosshair

would be nice though.knock me out at 11 pm,sit there all night watching the gauges and wake me up right at 8 am the next day
1:35 pm
crosshair

will look,welki.paykel is the brand of my machine also
1:36 pm
welki

the oracle mask is about $80 on cpap.com
1:37 pm
crosshair

that linbk is for nasal mask
1:37 pm
welki

i think they charge about fifteen bucks to ship to canada - but there's an ontario online cpap provider too you can order from, just google or if you can't find it, you know how to find me :)
1:37 pm
Scrabbler

Clue for i, 3rd column?
1:38 pm

but ty for site link.i will explore the options

did you see mine, scrab?

I did get se9, but if there is a ca8 or 9 I need a different clue.

the se8 is the latin plural

oh, nm... ca... sorry

Who's that I see walking in these woods?
Why it's Little Red Riding Hood.

Hey there Little Red Riding Hood.
You sure are lookin' good,
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.

Listen to me!
Little Red Riding Hood,
I don't think little big girls should.
Go walking' in these spooky old woods alone.

What big eyes you have,
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad.
So just to see that you don't get chased,
I think I ought to walk with you for a way.
What full lips you have.
They're sure to lure someone bad.
So until you get to Gramma's place,
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe.

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on,
'Til I'm sure you've been shown,
That I cam be trusted walkin' with you alone. (Howl!)

Little Red Riding Hood,
I'd like to hold you if I could.
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf, so I won't.

What a big heart I have,
The Better to love you with.
Little Red Riding Hood,
Even big bad wolves can be good.
I'll try to keep satisfied,
Just to walk by you're side.
Maybe you'll see things my way,
Before we get to Gramma's place.

Hey there Little Red Riding Hood.
You sure are lookin' good,
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
Little Red Riding Hood.
You sure are lookin' good,
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
Little Red Riding Hood.
You sure are lookin' good,
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.

I was completely shocked to learn about what happened when I tu 5/14 into the news on Monday. Two in 6/18 people de 6/30d a plan to ruin Boston. They weren't succe 4/5ful in their terrorist plot.Then they tried to escape to no av5/16.Ev 4/7 though one of them tried to hide away in a boat,he was found by the cops.How can people do something so ev4/7?I hope they goto hell for their si4/4!The ev5/16s in Boston have us fearing for our li5/16. However, I will not be a sl5/16 to terrorists.I refuse to li4/7 in fear. So far, I have li 5/18 this long without fear,I am not about to start now. The U.S. does not have very many al6/18. Many countries don't like us. But I hope there will be no more eve4/7s like this one. Husband ne 5/12 to use the computer. I'm going to go sa 5/12 some vegetables for dinner. I've sa5/18 my story in my profile for later use.I hope you've us4/6 this story and se4/4 more words with this story. I'll be back in 45 more mi 6/24 to clue more.

I don't know what everyone is talking about NB for. When fur first posted he was a fraud; I looked up NB's "member since" date because I still have him listed in "My Friends" list. He joined Babble back in April of 2007, and I've chatted with him for many years. I find that ruru joined August 4th, 2007. I do think it's interesting that NB's profile picture has changed since the last time we spoke of this though.....

I got my guitars back today -- one of them still smells pretty bad, but it's playable and I can continue to work on it to get it less stinky. The other was my mother's as a young woman and it was well protected (not hanging on the wall like my main guitar) so it's a good one to have bac.

7:59 pm

the smell will dissipate a little more over time, but it's not likely to get completely better unless I have it put in the ozone machine, and I don't think I can afford a second run.

Hello ga!
8:01 pm
herinfernallady

Stid depending on the wood you could rub it with Bees Wax.
8:01 pm
stidmama

no doren, not a musical instrument. oil would oxidize and be nasty in very short time
8:02 pm
Dorens

ewww, not one of my better ideas then
8:02 pm
stidmama

and wax wouldn't fix the smell, either, I am afraid. The toxins from the house pretty well saturated any exposed wood.
8:02 pm
herinfernallady

8:03 pm

May I please have a clue for al7-32? Thanks
8:03 pm

the choices I have are to continue to air it out (which I am doing) or pay to have ozone treatment, which right now I am trying to save as much of the money for contents replacement as I can for the things we will need when we have a home again.

8:07 pm
welki

sitd? did they refinish the glaze on the outside of the guitar?
8:07 pm
stidmama

I had it in to an expert for fixing up, jilly --- thanks. His best advice is to air it out, keep it where it doesn't get wet and play it. :-) I can spray febreeze occasionally if I need to temporarily keep the odor down, but it's "in there" now
8:07 pm
herinfernallady

I saw my sister yesterday for the first time in 2 years and it was awesome
8:07 pm
stidmama

no, we didn't refinish the guitar, it's not worth that amount of work. It's only a $600 instrument, but more than I can afford to replace right now.

maybe try some odor sponges on the inside (they'll shrivel up when they're spent) and a nice polish on the outside - and for sure keep airing it out

a couple squirts of febreeze won't hurt if the smell is bothering you a lot on any given day

Have you seen this site Stid http://www.woodmenders.com/removing-sm\noke-smell-furniture
8:09 pm

baking soda's a good idea, too - but hard to shake out
8:09 pm
stidmama

there's a thought. I have to get the soda, and a stocking...
8:10 pm
welki

even charcoal briquets will absorb odor
8:10 pm
lynxxx

less the \n of course!
8:10 pm
herinfernallady

Put it in a stocking like a knee high one and tie it off. I would maybe do a couple of them depending on the size of the guitar
8:10 pm
welki

herin - good news on your reunion with your sister :)
8:11 pm

unfortunatly the inside of the guitar is unfinished and will have absorbed a lot of the smell. it will just take time

and normal humidity. around here I rarely drink actual water except in the summer -- 50-70+% humidity is normal. We dealt with mold problems within a year of moving in to our home, just from the normal moisture in the air, not from bad ventilation per se.
8:16 pm
welki

we bought a couple of nice rockers and tables for the front porch today - and then the snow began to fall. husband pulled a portable heater out of the garage and it worked, but the snow started blowing sideways - and here i am *lol*
8:16 pm

snow now?
8:16 pm

Did you use a deumidifier, stid?
8:16 pm

55% here in the summer and 45% in the winter
8:17 pm
BzznBea

dehumidifier
8:17 pm
stidmama

we used what we could, Bea, but the only de-humidifiers we could find were prohibitively expensive. The issue is, of course, no longer an issue for us.
8:17 pm
welki

sitd, when i moved here, i was AMAZED that a loaf of bread could stay out on the counter for a week without getting moldy! potato chips/cookies - stay fresh for a long time
8:18 pm
welki

alberta, i think, is the hand cream capital of the world - and everyone drinks water all the time, you have to
8:18 pm
BzznBea

Can you have a dehumidifier installed with your heating/cooling system?
8:19 pm
stidmama

one day, sometimes, welki... Tom's bread didn't last even a few days in the bread box even. We had to refrigerate or freeze any open starchy foods.

Hi Book
8:22 pm
stidmama

I am going to be working on the engineering for airflow, but we are not "flush" enough to consider a house-sized de-humidifying system unless we were to do it in conjunction with forced-air heat. Which I refuse to do. My allergies were not well served with air blowing contaminants around.

8:22 pm

i like them, too, crossy - growing up in apartments in nyc, the clang and hiss of them was comforting

BzznBea

I didn't mind the radiators in our house. It was great heat. But they are all gone now.
8:24 pm
stidmama

I loved radiators in the old apartments I lived in for college. Bonus was that the boiler also meant plenty of hot water for lovely long baths while I read!
8:24 pm
welki

i could do that in our house, but not in the apartment buildings - way too many floors for one open valve to make much of a difference
8:24 pm
stidmama

My best preference for drying the air in a house is a wood stove, but again my allergies prevent our enjoying such a thing.
8:24 pm
crosshair

yes,you had to have the boiler anyways,so no shortage of bath water for the ladies
8:24 pm
welki

how about a propane or natural gas fireplace?
8:25 pm

no dust, nice adjustable heat

we are thinking about a propane one, welki - our neighbors have one and like it
8:26 pm
welki

(we have a built in one in our living room and a portable one we picked up years ago that looks like a tiny wood stove - takes the chill out of the bedroom nicely - and we even have a nice built in one in the RV)
8:26 pm

i prefer a real fire, but really like not having to clean out the ashes and de-soot/creosote the chimney
8:27 pm
crosshair

i have seem a home set up with a small one of those in each room(other than the bathroom for main source of heat
8:27 pm
herinfernallady

Stid - B says Gas heaters are the way to get de-humidifications, also if you are looking most of the split system units have dehumidifies in them these days. So you may be able to look at getting a split system units when rebuilding
8:27 pm
stidmama

although to be honest I am considering not allowing anything with an open flame to exist in my home. Except for my cooktop... I love cooking over gas.
8:27 pm
welki

crossy, they even have them in restaurants now - not only in the main dining areas, but in the ladies' lounges

8:38 pm
stidmama

it's probably an ozone box, gwen?
8:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

crossy, sure. it's not a contraption, it's a simple wooden box with a lid. you put the book in there (or whatever) and put some deodorizer in there. you can use kitty litter (the odor-eliminating kind)
