2:08 am
puglet

2:08 am
jillibus

2:08 am
flosey

homeny grits - have never had them
2:08 am
jillibus

flosey, they're like cream of wheat.
2:08 am
flosey

I make a cole slaw using chinese cabbage- it's lighter, crispier
2:09 am
jillibus

chinese cabbage? You mean bok choy?
2:09 am
puglet

I like raw sweet corn too
2:09 am
flosey

but they're served with a meal, aren't they
2:10 am
flosey

George grows it, looks like a long cabbage - thinner, and keeps the crunch better
2:10 am
jillibus

I think hominy grits are mostly breakfast, but honey chile, ah'm no suthunuh.
2:10 am
flosey

2:11 am
jillibus

2:11 am
jillibus

Good as ever he4 - bet you're all getting sick of me saying that!
3:01 am
Lizlin

And you?
3:01 am
puglet

Im doing fine and you?
3:01 am
joso

I don't mind liz, boring but preferable
3:02 am
Lizlin

I have a very lucky life living here.
3:02 am
puglet

Rose has all the drama-lol
3:02 am
joso

glad you are good pug, I am well but one of my brothers has a grief, his companion died yesterday
3:03 am
Lizlin

Oh! That's really sad - was it expected?
3:03 am
puglet

I have all the q words but q520--could I have a clue please
3:04 am
puglet

sad to hear that Joso
3:04 am
Lizlin

qu 5 / 20 - a question
3:04 am
joso

yes, knew that some time this year, barring miracle, he would pass
3:04 am
Lizlin

Poor guy! Your brother must be in an awful state.
3:05 am
Lizlin

Has he got a good supportive group around him?
3:05 am
Maisie

3:06 am
joso

when I spoke to him he seemed in shock. there was a dinner party he was hosting and was continuing with that.
3:06 am
Lizlin

ty Maisie - gave me the missing qu 5 / 16
3:06 am
Lizlin

condolences to him - not that he knows me. Doesn't matter if you expect death, it's still so hard when it happens.
3:08 am
puglet

tyvm guys
3:08 am
joso

I think it helps, but still not the best of things
3:08 am
Lizlin

I guess his partner had been ill for a while - so possibly the dinner party was the most supportive thing he could do in the circumstances and probably his partner would've wanted that.
3:10 am
joso

It seemed to me he was just in robot mode, but said the couple coming over where good friends, so it seemed best to let it be, I'm sure they will understand if the taters are burned or raw. and company is sounded like a good thing
3:11 am
Lizlin

Being around friends helps.
3:12 am
Lizlin

Got to go - early dinner. Hubby off to a meeting tonight. tough time for you too I guess ,Joso, so special hugs :)

lol.good morning everyone.reading back on your comments granny & puglet.it is same with me.i keep the house at 60f in the winter because i overheat so badly.for me most of the winter it is a t-shirt and light jacket unless it is really howling with a blizzard then i will add a sweater and a thin windbreaker.my beloved spends her entire winter complaining at me,but i buy her lots of nice sweaters fleece jammies.herating pad and whatnot

her best part about the new jeep i think is that it has heated seats:)

my brother is like that now, mubner.he now lives in Nevada and he dies if it drops below 70f
7:12 am
Mubner

Yup
7:13 am
crosshair

one thing he is still stunned over even after 3 years is how they almost give handguns away with very little checking or training.you think with everyone armed that way they would not have shut the us government down to avoid working on health care for all would you? lol
7:14 am
crosshair

lol.he now has 3 handguns
7:14 am
Mubner

The shutdown, what an embarrassment.
7:15 am

canada loves you ,mubner but omg what were they thinking?
7:15 am
crosshair

it was not even full universal health care.the preez was just trying to bring you half way.kind of like how our old OHIP system used to be
7:16 am
Mubner

Both sides are so deeply entrenched that I wonder if they will ever be able to agree. I don't understand why everyone hates the health care program
7:17 am

for examole i had two dr appts last week and am scheduled for a ct scan this week.no long wait.i do not have to pour over insurance doccuments to see if i am covered.i do not have to rent a room in my house to pay for it

My brother has a close Canadian friend (Edmonton) that says your system isn't so great, like he has very long waits for regular health care, so he says we are headed down into the darkness with Obamacare. lol

it is far from perfect but when we need something looked at we get it done
7:20 am
Mubner

When I was younger with a family I would have loved to have that kind of health care
7:20 am
crosshair

we just all pay at tax time because everyone is going to need health care at some point.right?
7:21 am
BzznBea

And there's the rub...The insurance companies are going to make sure they make a huge profit on this. Hubs is covered under medicare + retirement health plan. It will cost over $500. a month to cover me.
7:21 am
Mubner

True. I prefer alternative health care, don't have alot of respect for doctors and the "system"
7:21 am
crosshair

we do not have insurance companies or emplyers in the loop.unless it is an added thing over and above the basic universal care
7:22 am
BzznBea

And because of the changes to health coverage, my husband's great health coverage is becoming mediocre.
7:22 am
crosshair

we pay the govt,they give us health care.scary eh? lol
7:22 am
MollyL

Mubner, I was married to a Canadian and he said the same thing about their health care as your friend did.
7:23 am
Mubner

Oh, Molly, maybe it's different for Crossy because he is on the eastern side and John was in Alberta??
7:24 am
MollyL

Don't know, my husband lived in Ontario.
7:24 am

and our govt is open for business:P when we heard of universal health care coming,you would of got ruined in the rush of all of us signing up

Thanks for the oo5, o-o.
7:24 am
crosshair

my brother says they are overloading the system in NV to sign up even though i think it does not actually take effect till new year
7:26 am
BzznBea

I don't think they are overloading the system to sign up. I think they are overloading the system trying to figure out how the changes will effect them.
7:26 am
BzznBea

My guess is that there are very few people signing up yet.
7:26 am
crosshair

well.it is interesting as heck watching it all unfold that is for sure.
7:26 am
Mubner

I think the bigger picture is the black president that is trying to help poor people and those with money and power don't like that one little bit.
7:26 am
MollyL

Yes Bea, not many people understand how it will work.
7:27 am
crosshair

they still play the race/colour card,mubner. odd
7:27 am
MollyL

Or what it will cost or how it will affect the quality of our health care.
7:27 am
crosshair

i would not care if my prez was green with yellow stripes as lonmg as he gets us good health care
7:27 am
BzznBea

But do you think it is because he is black? Isn't he following the Democratic platform?
7:28 am
MollyL

Yes Bea, it's more of a Democrat vs Republican thing.
7:28 am
BzznBea

I believe so too, Molly.
7:28 am
crosshair

well,molly,so far they nays have closed your government so that is not working too well anyways.
7:29 am

The "nays" are not the only ones responsible for the government shut down.
7:29 am
crosshair

it is so wild.rest of the world is still trying to figure it out along with you
7:30 am

If Congress were not getting paid or benefits through this shut down, things would get settled a lot quicker.

7:31 am

so to be american you must have a white prez?

The true cost and impact of a big plan such as this, can only be realized after it goes into effect. I am leery of the government being in control of anything, especially my health care options.

In our country effective representative government is crucial. To keep reelecting congressional incumbents that nearly always deserve to be fired is unpatriotic, subversive and antithetical to the ideals of our constitutional republic.

This year ten Senators and 42 Representatives are not running for reelection. Odds are that far fewer incumbents will be voted out of office, if historic trends continue. For House elections from 1982 to 2008 only one in three voters did not vote for a winning House representative and 73 percent of House races were won by landslide margins of at least 20 percentage points. The power of incumbency reduces much needed political competition which a healthy democracy requires.

If the royalty of incumbency does not stop there is no hope whatsoever of putting the nation on a much better track. It does not matter who is elected president. In the end, if the fractured Congress we have witnessed for years perseveres the US is doomed to join the list of once great global powers that went down the toilet.

Flush congressional incumbents out. Now. Or be complicit in the death of American democracy. Stop making excuses, rationalizing. Throw incumbent turds out of office. Even more important than not voting for the challenger or incumbent from the “other” party is not voting for the incumbent of your party, even if it threatens party control of the House or Senate.

If you do not help fire Congress, then you deserve to suffer personally from what the federal government does or does not do. Make you voice really heard this year.

reading back into chat - was curious what sort of war you started, crossy. want to let you know that here, in alberta, there is a seven month wait for an mri. and for those who are not familiar with our plan, the social medical coverage does not cover things like insulin, eyeglasses, medications, prostheses, cpap machines, those things that are considered 'incidentals' - they system is far from perfect. and, in victoria, bc, it took 18 months of waiting before my father in law received surgery for an aortic aneurysm - i swear the govt was hoping he'd just die before the surgery

except when you keep an 80 year old man waiting a year and a half for a critical cardiac surgery. it's the generalizations that are killing me - there are ALWAYS exeptions - and to say that "we don't have insurance companies...." speaks volumes. what do you think bc health care is? not only a provider, but an insurer.
8:59 am

and really, does it matter who keeps someone who requires surgery from the procedure on which their life depends? insurer/health care provider - dead is dead.

i would agree - we both have good points and bad points

welki

and i'm not joking - there are pros and cons to both
9:02 am
hurshy

but the thing about health care is - as you said earlier - no such thing as an earthly paradise - there are always going to be limitations. you can't provide ALL the care for ALL the people ALL the time, esp as technology keeps advancing and we pour so much money into that. and do we really want it to be that what determines who gets it is how rich you are? i'm more ok with it being that if i'm 80 i may not get something, you know, having already lived a good long life, if it means like 50 children are getting nutrition or preventative care instead. hard as it is, there will always have to be resources directed somewhere instead of somewhere else.
9:03 am

americans are particularly bad about facing hard truths like that - and particularly susceptible to panic over "death panels".
9:03 am
joso

I'm amazed. remember i have said a few times our system is not flawless, but we may have a bankruptcy or 2, verses the leading cause for bankruptcy, costing 50% more and covering 25% less, these are huge differences
9:03 am
welki

agreed, hurshy - that makes sense from one perspective. the other being, let's say i'm 80 and waiting for that surgery. i've paid into the system (yes, some provinces charge(d) premiums - so the notion that it's not 'insurance' fails there) for over 60 years - this is my first major surgery - aren't i entitled to value/product for my money?

Americans have become habituated with political corruption and greed. Gun-related deaths (86 a day) is now considered unfortunate collateral damage necessary to ensure the right to bear arms.

The oath of office of our purported representatives gets violated daily with impunity.

one note on pic 4 re: the dock bumpers.at one time there was a fleet of 25 of these vessels doing mail service to the north and i see in a few of the old pics that they used to tie them in "nests or 3 or 4 boats at night or to do mail transfers and those large bumpers came in handy then.poor segwun. her sisters are long gone. the second last one burned at the pier in the late 60,s. Now we must keep the old lady company

2:51 pm

she was known as the Nippissing at that time

My local town's claim to fame is that a large chunk of Braveheart was filmed here. Trim Castle featured largely! (And, no. I didn't meet Mel Gibson even though he was here for almost 2 months).
5:03 pm

Soodle, dear...so glad I stayed a bit longer....have missed you!
5:06 pm

Hi Mimi. Just checked Netflix ..... The Evening Star hasn't made it this side of the pond yet.
5:08 pm
Soodle

How are you, Mimi?
5:09 pm
MimiCat

Hope it gets there soon. Also,
For Love of the Game" is excellent with a great soundtrack. One of the songs "Come Around" when Kevin Costner is looking up at Kelly Preston's window IN THE RAIN is a song I used to sing onstage. The score is wonderful.
5:09 pm

Rows! I just wrote my son an email about you yesterday. He wants to be an English professor and I told him about your adventures.

5:16 pm

Hello Rows. Nice to meet you. :-)
5:16 pm

does he want to teach English literature/reading/writing to native speakers, or English as a Second Language / Foreign Language?
5:16 pm
Rows

hi soodle :)
5:16 pm
Rows

nice to meet you too
5:17 pm
MimiCat

My mother (who was really my grandmother) encouraged me to go and do and be adventurous and I DID....I'll always be grateful to her for that. So, I'm trying to do the same for my children.
5:17 pm
Rows

awesome, yes
5:17 pm
Rows

it is worth every second
5:18 pm
MimiCat

Rows, I think his first love is literature but I think the opportunity to experience different cultures and see how much language influences life experience would be invaluable to him.
5:18 pm
Soodle

Whoa! Mother really grandmother???? Explain
5:18 pm
Rows

yeah, and he could get a job teaching English lit at an international school, if he has certification in the States
5:19 pm
Rows

there are tons of international schools abroad that would like to hire him i'm sure
5:19 pm
Rows

i.e. my school when the school year is over... though my school pays next to nothing since i'm in Honduras
5:19 pm
MimiCat

Ready for this, Soodle? My bio mother left when I was 5 and my paternal grandmother and her 4th husband raised me. I didn't know I was actually biologically related to her until I was 22...and she was already gone. Just another part of my book...honestly, my life reads like fiction but it's all true.
5:20 pm
Rows

wait, so you thought you were just adopted by random people?
5:20 pm
MimiCat

Oh, yeah, I was raised with my biological father as my brother...
5:21 pm
Rows

what!
5:21 pm
Rows

that's ridiculous
5:21 pm
Soodle

Yikes!
5:21 pm
Rows

why wouldn't they just tell you?
5:21 pm
MimiCat

Yes, I was told I was picked out at the hospital. Get this...the bio father sort of made a pass at me when I was 16....he was so icky.
5:22 pm
Rows

omg
5:22 pm
Rows

mimi! that is insane and terrible
5:22 pm
Soodle

Aaaarrrggghhh
5:22 pm
Rows

i'm so glad you still turned out okay
5:22 pm
MimiCat

Don't know why they didn't tell me but kind of glad they didn't. I was raised to feel I was princess of the world and my parents gave me everything a child could ask for, both emotionally and economically. I have an angel on my shoulder.
5:22 pm
Rows

i cannot even imagine growing up with that and then finding out later that it had all been a lie...
5:23 pm
Rows

well that's good at least
5:23 pm
MimiCat

Met my bio mother and 5 half-brothers and sisters at age 22.......soooo glad I was removed. You cannot even imagine.
5:24 pm
Rows

wow
5:24 pm
MimiCat

The amazing thing to me is that my adoptive father was one of 9 kids and my grandmother was one of 6 and everyone in the family knew the story and no one every told me.
5:25 pm
Rows

yeah, i mean.. it's great they made you feel loved and all, but i would have a really hard time with having been lied to by everyone my entire life
5:25 pm
MimiCat

I was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, and it's weird that my bio mother and 3 of my siblings now live here in Arizona about 30 minutes away from me. My life is weird.
5:25 pm
Rows

yeah, obviously
5:25 pm
Rows

then again so is mine, just in different ways
5:26 pm
MimiCat

Rows, I never held it against them. I knew they were only trying to make sure I was loved and cared for and I was---in spades.
5:26 pm
Rows

okay, well that's good
5:26 pm
Soodle

Up until the fairly recent past in this country, young girls who fell pregnant were sent away to live with relations. They would return after the birth & their own mothers, spectacularly unpregnant in the preceding months would suddenly have a new baby! Confusing for all.
5:26 pm
MimiCat

Imagine my adoptive father who was not in any way biologically related to me but doted on me completely and loved me beyond belief.
5:27 pm
lynxxx

Nice they kept you in the family Mimi. My father was given away (no adoption)and taken to Australia as a small child and didn't find out until he was in his sixties - yes all the adoptive family knew but didn't let on. I think it is not about lying so much as just not telling. Times change
5:28 pm
MimiCat

Well, Soodle, my bio mother was married to my bio father (brother) but he was a total jerk and she was just 19 when she had me so I understand to a degree. But when I gave birth to my first child I no longer understood how she could have left me...it was difficult and we were reunited by then.
5:28 pm
Soodle

5:30 pm
MimiCat

Honestly, my life reads like an unbelievable soap opera in so many ways. That is why when I finally get "the book" written they'll need to film it as a miniseries instead of a movie because there's just SO MUCH to portray.
5:30 pm
Soodle

I think adoption is much more up-front these days. (I hope).
5:30 pm
MimiCat

It's fun to tell people I am my own sister and my own aunt...confuses them.
5:31 pm
Soodle

Who is going to play YOU, Mimi?
5:31 pm
Rows

haha
5:31 pm
MimiCat

I was just so fortunate to be rescued and raised by people who were totally devoted to me...what a luxury.
5:32 pm
Rows

yeah definitely
5:32 pm
Rows

you never thought it was weird that your mom was "old" or that your brother was so much older than you?
5:32 pm
MimiCat

LOL, Soodle. Have actually thought about that! (What an ego I have.) I don't really know.
5:33 pm
Soodle

Search Youtube for 'I'm my own Grandpa' . Quirky little ditty!
5:33 pm
MimiCat

Yes, Rows, I knew I was adopted so that explained it. The really weird part (in so may other weird parts) is that my adoptive father (grandfather) was 19 years younger than my mother/grandmother...he was her 4th husband. Anyone need a breather?!
5:33 pm
Rows

oh geez
5:34 pm
Rows

so he was basically around the same age as your "brother"?
5:34 pm
MimiCat

He was only 6 years older than her son.
5:34 pm
MimiCat

Who was my bio father.
5:35 pm
Soodle

Have a search on youtube for Ray Stevens singing 'I'm my own grandpa'. Quirky!
5:35 pm
MimiCat

She was an amazing woman...way ahead of her time. She drove a taxi cab, ran a boarding house, taught school, and bootlegged on the Ohio River.
5:36 pm
MimiCat

I carried on the tradition of being a bit strange and very independent and am proud of it!
5:37 pm
MimiCat

I wear her wedding ring and "sweetheart" ring every day of my life and never take them off. Told my daughter if she wants them, she'll have to take them off my cold dead hands!
5:37 pm
Rows

that's awesome :)
5:38 pm
Soodle

Sorry for the double post.... But, Mimi, with a heritage like that..... You couldn't be anything but strange!! Viva your strangeness!
5:38 pm
MimiCat

And on the other side of the family is Naomi who had a baby 10 years after her husband died...swore it was the longest pregnancy in history. We still don't know who my great-grandfather was.
5:39 pm
MimiCat

Thank you, Soodle...yes...I am strange by both heritage and nature...viva la strange! But it helps me feel compassion and empathy for EVERYONE...and I'm grateful for that...could have gone another direction entirely.
5:40 pm
Soodle

Get writing on that book!
5:41 pm
MimiCat

As you can imagine, it is a daunting task. My life alone without all the history has been extra ordinary in and of itself...I think I need a ghostwriter to help!
5:42 pm
MimiCat

I had considered writing it as fiction but I think it's much more interesting to own up to it as the truth. After all, at my age, what do I care? Just makes me more colorful!
5:43 pm
Soodle

I must go to bed now. Another emotionally & physically exhausting day. I can't wait to read it Mimi. G'night all.
5:44 pm

Have a good night, Soodle. So good to talk with you. Hope you will be better and will keep you in my prayers. Big Hug.

it's amazing how much of life we go through on automatic pilot. I decided to do my bit of exercise for the day with a bike ride. I go out and up to the bike and my conscious mind only kicks in when I can't find the spot to put the keys. unconscious mind has registered 'traveling' and reached into pocket, got keys, put in lock... put in lock... put i, get conscious mind, lol

The conundrums of usage ... a la is a preposition ... a lot, like "a little" is an adverb. The latter is said to be two words; the former apparently is one.
9:23 pm
MollyL

Oh Pen, and you were the one worried about making a faux pas. At least you spelled it correctly. : D
9:23 pm
penquis

ty!....french canadian grandparents on both sides...ten years of french in school....parents spoke french and english at home....so no excuses!
9:27 pm
