12:26 am

VolleymomDee

lol... too funny, hope it returns soon, rose

12:26 am

jbp

12:26 am

VolleymomDee

yipes, peach, where are you?

12:27 am

Yvooria

peach, did the earthquake do any more to the structure of those townhomes?

12:27 am

flosey

true, jbp, thought we had made it through another winter without that white stuff - nope

12:28 am

gapeach

Yes, Erda, after the ice storm crippled the whole city and surrounding area....it was just to top off the whole of February.

12:28 am

grannyrose

oh,peach. that is so not good, hun.

12:28 am

flosey

oh Peach, how horrible, how about freezer food, could it last through the power outage?

12:28 am

VolleymomDee

we are supposed to get another storm Sunday... am really ready for the next season to come

12:29 am

Erda

gapeach -- where was that?

12:30 am

gapeach

Haven't heard of any damage but it was reported 5.4. I heard the noise and thought an airplane was going to hit the house....the dogs were really afraid.....I was trying to quieten them when I felt the shaking.....after shock came next evening.

12:30 am

jbp

no clue on 9?

12:30 am

gapeach

Erda, Augusta, GA

12:30 am

12:31 am

flosey

12:32 am

grannyrose

mm, not in my book, flosey

12:32 am

gapeach

It was for a few minutes, Dee. I was so busy being thankful that it was not a plane.

12:32 am

grannyrose

it's scottish/irish word for coracle

12:32 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

12:32 am

12:34 am

Yvooria

12:34 am

jbp

now I have to look up what a coracle is...

12:34 am

VolleymomDee

I didn't realize you were even prone to earthquakes there.

12:34 am

flosey

it's not in my dictionary, jb

12:34 am

Lizlin

I know what a coracle is - don't know about Irish or Scottish names for one!

12:35 am

jbp

I remember that word in learning about the medieval celtic monks who sailed in these boats to get to remote islands to do hermit type meditations

12:35 am

Lizlin

Who had an earthquake?

12:35 am

VolleymomDee

state of GA in USA, liz

12:35 am

Lizlin

Hope everyone was OK.

12:36 am

grannyrose

gapeach did, liz

12:36 am

jbp

and since it won't take 'orator' no matter how many times I type it... my cold and I are off .

12:36 am

Lizlin

Poor Peach :(

12:36 am

gapeach

It hasn't gotten here yet. Maybe just in time for Masters.

12:36 am

jbp

Was doing better, but spent several hours in ER with my dad

12:36 am

jbp

I will pray for my friends in GA.

12:36 am

12:37 am

Lizlin

How are you today - Rose and Dee?

12:37 am

gapeach

Yvooria, how was Carrollton during the storm?

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

12:38 am

dizgrannie

FWs

12:38 am

gapeach

Oh, good, hon. Is it the same one you told me about?

12:38 am

Yvooria

they didn't have power, but i don't get the impression that the earthquake hit them as hard.. you might have seen that my inlaws lost their beautiful willow tree though.. sadly

12:38 am

Lizlin

WTG Diz

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

nice, diz!

12:38 am

Yvooria

it's down the road a bit, but turns out to be a better piece of land.. more infrastructure in place... we're excited.

12:39 am

grannyrose

WTG DIZ!!!!

12:39 am

flosey

ah, finally got it from the 'mexican shoe' clue

12:40 am

gapeach

I am sorry about the tree. The trees are still being taken care of.....lost so many......AT&T had a cable cut and I couldn't get any service for about two weeks.

12:41 am

gapeach

I am so excited about the land. Any pictures on FB?

12:43 am

Yvooria

Not really, I don't think... but the pictures just aren't going to cut it.. maybe a video would give a better idea...we're been staving off getting excited until it's a done deal

12:45 am

gapeach

I hope you get it. You've already seen a builder, yes?

12:46 am

Yvooria

yes, we have a house plan.. still tweaking and when he bids it out to find out the price, we will probably makes some more adjustments

12:47 am

gapeach

Good idea....this way you will get exactly what you want and not have to redo stuff.

12:48 am

Yvooria

my favorite part is that no one can build behind the house.. it drops off into a canyon loveliness, filled with trails and nature.. but we still have a view of the city on a clear day

12:49 am

gapeach

Sounds delightful!

12:50 am

gapeach

How are the girls?

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

Yvooria

emma's knees have healed up beautifully.. mollie still is obsessed with her tennis balls

12:52 am

gapeach

Tennis balls?

12:52 am

gapeach

Do tell.

12:52 am

gapeach

And what about the mass in her ear?

12:53 am

Yvooria

well, just any balls, but she especially loves tennis balls... the kind she can squeak especially... she gets so mad when emma rips all the fuzz off them

12:53 am

Yvooria

the Dr. thinks it's probably just always been there.. the steroid didn't change anything, but he gave Rob a new flush to use 2wice a week

12:55 am

grannyrose

WTG DEE!!!

12:55 am

gapeach

Could he do a biopsy just to make sure it is ok?

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

ty rose!

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

Hope your voice returns tomorrow!! Time for me to say ta ta, til the flip! Hugs to all!

12:56 am

Yvooria

for some reason he didn't think that was necessary/wise.. think he's just going to watch it.. think it would be super hard to do, requiring general anesc. because it's way down there - required a camera to see it

12:56 am

rururocks

I guess no one held off on their fireworks waiting for me to show up >? :D

12:56 am

gapeach

Sweet dreams, DEE.

12:57 am

grannyrose

have to go and get ready. going to the pancake parlour tonight to celebrate a friend of don's birthday. yes, he does have friends, just not a lot of them.

12:57 am

grannyrose

night, dee. hope your rest is sweet, dear.

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

sounds like fun!

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

I was wondering about you, ru. Did you get a lot of rain today?

12:58 am

grannyrose

not good for my non-existent waist-line.

12:58 am

rururocks

yes.. we did indeed

12:58 am

gapeach

Oh, well, I would hate to put her through all of that. They are both so very sweet.

12:58 am

flosey

12:58 am

grannyrose

hey ya, mate.

12:58 am

Yvooria

12:59 am

grannyrose

hope you all have great days/evenings. see you at the flip. xoxoxox

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

Has it stopped, ru, or are you still getting it?

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

Have fun, rose!!

12:59 am

rururocks

1:00 am

rururocks

1:00 am

gapeach

Just wonderful. I feel badly that they don't get out much. Bev, my vet, brings heartworm pills and will come here for their shots. She is so helpful.

1:00 am

Yvooria

Awww, glad to hear that Bev does that for them... reminds me i need to pick up some more of those pills

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

I bet your rains are what are going to turn into our snows... not sure, so I'll have to check out the weather.

1:02 am

rururocks

gonna be snow somewhere that's for sure

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

Expecting another storm here sometime on Sunday.

1:03 am

Yvooria

how is ricky?

1:05 am

rururocks

haven't you guys had enough snow?

1:05 am

gapeach

I had a precancerous spot on the bridge of my nose...had it frozen last Friday.....had on near this one removed many years ago and it healed well.....this one is taking it's time.....of course my skin is older now, so I will just shut up about it. LOL

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

Well, now I am off for real. See you at the flip!

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

Well, now I am off for real. See you at the flip!

1:08 am

Yvooria

i'm glad you were preventative enough to go in for that.

1:10 am

9:22 am

welki

the TT?

9:23 am

Judi

Ahhhgh! I love the TT! I WANT ONE!

i suppose the sl63 and carrera would be in the same price range as the r8 :(

9:23 am

9:23 am

I think I want something more high end than the TT..but Doreen says I should look at one

9:24 am

okay i don't 'love' them, but i sure like 'em a whole lot :)

9:24 am

Judi

You can always test drive one - just for fun.

9:24 am

welki

i consider the TT in the same category as a boxster very nice,but a step down

9:25 am

rururocks

I did find an R8..Spider I can afford..but the gas mileage is atrocious

9:25 am

Judi

BMW has a sportster in that category - but I like the TT better - it looks sexier.

9:25 am

rururocks

I did drive one Judi..it is incredible

9:25 am

welki

that sounded bad - what i mean is that if i had my sights set on an r8 and had to buy something else, i'd veer away from audi and consider another manufacturer

9:25 am

Ruru, being English, I have only ever driven standard (with a stick) my favourite car was a Mini Cooper S

10:05 am

the trouble with the mini was not enough room in the back for passengers

10:05 am

Lindrickway

That was the most fun I had in a car, well with my clothes on anyway! lol

10:05 am

Lindrickway

I guess I would need smaller friends Demouse!

1st car was a 62 eetle, then a 66. After that it was all downhill.

Very reassuring that so many people worked together to stabilize situation...some trying to dig people out, others to find the gas line shut off

Missoula is in a basin surrounded by mountains; the town is right at the foot of Mount Jumbo and Sentinel

How is your Mom today?

4:09 pm

Jillyjill

Fine, blizzard warning gone by 11 and we had her home at noon. Neighbor came and rudimentarily plowed her driveway. Had to be in 4-low to get up and into her place.

4:10 pm

Jillyjill

Was a TIA, I suspect they have been going on for some time. In past 2 months she has had 2 falls, three ER visits and 1 hospitalization.

4:12 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...they were so busy in ER last night they threatened to put me to work! As it was, I unhooked mom's leads, helped her get dressed and removed her hep lock...selfish really, just wanted to get home as quick as possible

4:13 pm

Jillyjill

All our ambulances were out last night...I think we have 4 or 5.

4:14 pm

Nef

I'm so glad she's okay; but I worry about TIA's too. Will she be having a complete workup soon?

4:15 pm

Jillyjill

Has had two, she is on 81 mg ASA, not a good candidate for blood thinners due to age and living alone. BP fine. I suspect she slips into A-fib, had been diagnosed in hospital, placed on metroprolol, but her local MD took her off of it (with her complaining).

4:16 pm

Nef

(I've done the same with my family in the ER; unhooking leads; pulling IV's etc. when they were at "my" hospital too.

4:17 pm

Well a good evening all. Jilly, stay warm and safe.

4:17 pm

was she complaining that she was on it or taken off of it?

Poor Cos, sorry he fell asleep. : P

4:20 pm

Jillyjill

She was complaining she was on it, made her dizzy, she is not tracking well these days, she had low NA and low BP, it was not the metrolprolol!

4:20 pm

cosdem

lol well it was late :P

4:20 pm

Nef

JIlly, is she seeing an internal med doc? It sounds like she should be if she has been seeing a GP or family practice doc. A Fib, TiA's, advanced age, etc. She may need finer tuning than she used to need

4:21 pm

Jillyjill

Small town, only GP's and FP's. Has a cardiologist in Missoula...I have been trying to get the MD to refer her to him again.

4:21 pm

Nef

thank you so much cos! (((hugs to you!!!)) I would have gone to bed and not known about any of this tip today

4:22 pm

Jillyjill

She was on so much BP meds that in Jan her NA= was 117, BP with diastolic of 46. And those were the meds her cardiologist had her on. Latest studies show it's better to keep elderly a bit higher on BP

4:22 pm

Nef

Time to pull out that nasty nurse personality, Jilly and tell that doc that she WILL be referred!

4:23 pm

Nef

Very true, Jilly (re the BP in elderly)

4:23 pm

MollyL

Jill and Nef, you should have each other's contact information so you can converse about important things like this, if needs be.

4:24 pm

Nef

What BP med was she on that would lower her Na+

Problem is, doc in Stevensville, she makes her appointments in AM, I work, actually took Friday off to go with her, road impassable and no appointment. She also is rebelling against my being involved. I really did call and argue with MD over the metroprolol to no avail

4:24 pm

Nef

Sorry, Molly. I don't mean to hog the chog

4:24 pm

Jillyjill

HCTZ

4:25 pm

Jillyjill

IT's medical chog now...LOL

4:25 pm

Nef

Dang. HCTZ shouldn't lower it that much; wonder what else is going on?

4:26 pm

Jillyjill

50 captopril TID, 10 Norvasc QD and 12.5 HCTZ now again, but HCTZ and Norvasc is lower dose. Also have her on sugar free electrolyte drink instead of water

4:26 pm

MollyL

Oh no, hog the chat log all you want. I just meant sometimes it's easier to get in direct touch with someone, instead of asking a third party to send the information.

4:26 pm

Jillyjill

Her NA+ tends to run low. It was 128 last night.

4:27 pm

Jillyjill

Nef wasn't on when news broke, and I had forgotten our FB connection. Sorry Molly

4:28 pm

Nef

Well, she's on a heck of a lot of heavy duty drugs for her BP.

4:28 pm

Nef

how does she like the electrolyte drink?

4:30 pm

Jillyjill

LOL..as the kids would say...Meh

4:31 pm

Nef

LOL! I remember when DH's great-uncle had to drink thickened liquids. He said it never took care of the thirst and balked at thickened coffee (2nd generation Swede!

4:34 pm

YAY, Jilly!!! WTG!!!

4:37 pm

No need for "sorry". I'm glad you two have a way to communicate about these things. And do it here all you want.

4:37 pm

Soodle

A slow Chog day almost always leads to fireworks for Soodle. Happy to clue for any lurkers. :-)

4:38 pm

Gee! Sorry. I just refreshed the page & saw the chog was alive & well.

Yes and no molly...

Jillyjill

hello jes!

4:40 pm

Oh, Jilly, I SO feel your pain. And hello everybody. :-)

4:40 pm

jesdraggon

having fun, jilly?

4:40 pm

Jillyjill

Well, mind finally agreeing to take a snooze...4 hours sleep last night; siesta required before Mass.

4:41 pm

Jillyjill

Hopefully this fun will abate jes!

4:41 pm

Nef

I've had a frustrating day today, jes; nothing "Bad"; just lots of things not going right. SO glad for peace & quiet and Babble Friends now! :-)

4:41 pm

Jillyjill

{{hugs}} to nef and all my babble buddies...now *poof*

4:41 pm

Nef

Jilly, is there anyone who could stay with her for a few days?

4:42 pm

Soodle

At the end of a very difficult day, Babble can br better than valium!

4:42 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, jilly

4:42 pm

Nef

(Chogging in the word box isn't helping me chat)

4:42 pm

jesdraggon

no, i don't suppose it would, Nef :D

4:43 pm

Jilly - you must remember to look after yourself as well....

4:43 pm

oscar is a word! It's a kind of fish! *grumblemutterenablemutter*

4:43 pm

MollyL

Um...no...nothing is better than Valium
: P

4:44 pm

Nef

Breathing is better than valium, Molly. I'm too sensitive to Drugs.

4:44 pm

Soodle

OK, Molly. But Babble is cheaper & easier to get.....

4:45 pm

MollyL

Nef, I was thinking the same thing. Someone to stay with Jill's Mom. Scary to think of her all alone with such medical things going on.

4:45 pm

cosdem

move to Colorado. ;-)

4:46 pm

MollyL

I'm all about deep breathing Nef. There are some things that it doesn't fix though.

4:47 pm

Nef

Yeah, Molly. I've dealt with some pretty stubborn older relatives (both DH's and mine) and when "Aunty Jean" insisted on going to her condo, it was so nice to have my str. stay with her -even when str. was working full time)

4:48 pm

Nef

daughter= str. SPELLCHECK, shut up!

4:48 pm

Soodle

I only ever experienced valium once. On a previous visit to my dentist, I bit him and drew blood. He refused to treat me again, unless I was sedated. Next visit, he gave me a shot of valium. To this day, i hanker after the feeling of ' I don't give two hoots whats about to happen. Bring it on'..... Sigh

4:49 pm

MollyL

My folks were stubborn elders too. Comes a time you have to override their stubborn though.

4:50 pm

Nef

LOL, Soodle! I've never had Valium, but it made my DH giggle like little girl when he burnt his face from a faulty wallpaper stripper

4:50 pm

MollyL

That is why people get addicted, Soodle.

4:51 pm

Nef

But knowing that feeling and acting on it are 2 different things, Molly

4:51 pm

MollyL

Well yeah.

4:51 pm

Soodle

I can see how, Molly. So, until I find a supplier, Babble will have to do.

4:52 pm

Nef

One of my aunts quit smoking cigarettes in the 1950's, and she told me that she still craved a smoke 50 years later

4:53 pm

Nef

(personally, I was shocked when she told me that. She was always so proper I could never imagine her smoking!)

4:53 pm

MollyL

Babble is fun, solving the grid is fun and the chat can be fun, but I've never quite seen it as the addiction other people do. Just me I guess.

4:54 pm

jesdraggon

but smoking didn't used to be considered un-proper

4:54 pm

cosdem

Molly what are you wearing tomorrow to the Oscasrs? :)

4:55 pm

MollyL

So wait, only un-proper people smoke? (Cos, duck)

4:55 pm

Nef

Molly, I found it very addicting back when I started. I had such a drive to finish every grid and do it first that it seemed at times to be more important than real life things

4:55 pm

cosdem

I was gonna say Speaker Boehner is a chain smoker but then again.. :P

4:56 pm

MollyL

Cos, something strapless and Vera Wang, with a high thigh slit. : P

4:56 pm

Nef

this was my Aunt the school teacher, Superintendant of Schools, etc.

4:57 pm

cosdem

I'm going to wear a nice sweat pants designed by Targe' with a tee shirt from Nike'. Hair done by Great Clips.

4:59 pm

cosdem

plenty of teachers smoke. they work with kids they need a stress reliever :P but I can see your point. School marms are not seen as smokers. Prim and proper.

4:59 pm

MollyL

I will gladly have you as my escort Cos. We will be the talk of E! Online.

5:00 pm

cosdem

We shall make Joan shut up for once.

5:00 pm

Nef

She was very prim and proper, cos.

5:00 pm

MollyL

If only people knew the dark side of the seemingly prim and proper.

5:00 pm

Soodle

I seldom finish a grid, but I find searching for words & participating in the chat relaxes me. Then I see an exchange like that between Cos & Molly & I get all stressed out again. Jeez, Molly, Wang???? I had you down as a Versace type of gal.

5:00 pm

cosdem

the "shy" librarian who lets her hair down at nights....

5:00 pm

Nef

She also had an iron will and fist

5:03 pm

Nef

what do you think is the dark side of prim & proper, Molly?

5:03 pm

jesdraggon

Emperor Palpatine, of course, Nef. He was very proper and very dark.

5:04 pm

MollyL

I can take or leave Versace, but you will always catch me in Christian Louboutin shoes.

5:04 pm

MollyL

Nef, I can't answer that question here. It's a PG rated board.

5:06 pm

Nef

Emperor Palpatine isn't (IMHO, anyway) my idea of "prim & proper"

5:06 pm

cosdem

Queen Elizabeth. But I understand she enjoys a cigarette every now and then.

5:06 pm

jesdraggon

well, not after he went all dark... but before then he was :)

5:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, is this a mean grid or a pushover?

5:07 pm

cosdem

Ah when he was Chancellor Palpatine.

5:07 pm

Queen Elizabeth smokes? I had no idea

I am making chili now and will later make apple crisps

I'm politically independent and vote for the person or issues, not the Party. But that has put me on nearly every political email list you can imagine and it's pretty funny to read how each side portrays every issue

apple crisps? yum!

Hey Cross, hey Sue, :-)

I've made a blanket policy not to discuss politics with clients, even if we probably agree.... the problem with that is the people who really insist on pushing me on it are almost certain to disagree with me...

Cos... Is there any significance in the name Francis? As in the Pope & Mr Underwood? (Jaws theme toon playing as I type....)

5:32 pm

crosshair

crossy ducks because he used the G word

5:32 pm

MollyL

Soodle, you seem wrapped up in that Dire Straits song. Does it have significance for you?

5:33 pm

cosdem

my confirmation name was Francis. the same saint the Pope chose. Francis is supposed to represent the poor and disabled. "For the people"

5:33 pm

crosshair

Dire straits rocks!

5:33 pm

uusue2

ah, Frank's confirmation name was Francis too :-)

5:34 pm

Ooooh yes, Molly. Yes, yes yes... I don't think I need elaborate further!

5:34 pm

MollyL

Wait, Frank is Francis Something Francis?

5:35 pm

Francis Underwood.

5:36 pm

Just one Francis, Molly, he doesn't have another middle name

5:37 pm

Nef

hmmm, Wander off a few minutes to fix a bowl of cottage cheese and now all confused on Francis/Frank! Reading back; it still doesn't make sense to me

5:37 pm

o-o

Francis the Talking Mule was a mule celebrity, featured in seven movie comedies in the 1950s.

5:37 pm

MollyL

No, I meant isn't Frank a nickname for Francis?

5:38 pm

cosdem

yes yes it is

5:38 pm

MollyL

As in Francis Albert Sinatra

5:38 pm

cosdem

Oh I see what you mean now.

5:38 pm

uusue2

It can be, Molly, but his first name is just Frank. But there is a bit of apparent redundancy involved :-)

5:38 pm

Soodle

O-o, I'm a child of the '60's, & I remember Francis the talking mule.

5:39 pm

Nef

But lots of guys are named just plain old Frank too. (DH's legal name is Frank)

5:39 pm

MollyL

My confirmation name is Patrick. Yes, I have always been "that way". They couldn't say no, the bishop at the time was named Patrick.

5:39 pm

uusue2

My son's name is similar - he is Leo, which is often short for something else, but not in his case. Just Leo.

5:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and everyone thinks i'm a gwendolyn. nope!

5:40 pm

Nef

LOL! My daughter's confirmation name is "Charlemange!"

5:41 pm

MollyL

Seriously Nef? In the Catholic Church? How did she get by with that?

5:41 pm

o-o

Thanks for the poem, Molly.

5:41 pm

Nef

She chose it herself because her other names are too plain! (Anne Margie Charlemagne)

5:41 pm

uusue2

that is actually pretty funny, nef!

5:42 pm

cosdem

I did know a few Sister Mary Patricks in Chicago.

5:42 pm

Nef

Charlemagne is a very well-known saint Molly

5:43 pm

The poem is one of my favorites. O'Donohue had a way with words that will always enchant me.

Of course, when we named our Aidan that, no one had ever heard of it. Now everyone and their mother names ther kid that plus every derivative you can think of! Lol

Quite often names can date you. There must be thousands of Kylies who will never get away with claiming to be younger.

5:56 pm

we have one young lady in class with the name of Shadow

5:56 pm

Nef

That's kind of like my Legal name (not that I ever go by it!). I'd only heard of 1 other person with it until around 1970; then a movie came out and suddenly it was all over the place. (I once worked with 7 other nurses on my unit alone all with the same name!

5:57 pm

We had a young woman called Serena which is fine until you add her surname - Waters. bekieve me, stormy would have been more appropriate

5:57 pm

Absolutely kyboshed this evening. I drove a round trip of 535 miles to visit my Dad. I think I'll noodle off to bed. Good night all. ( I could never say goodnight to a pack of valium....I think I'll stick with Babble).

MollyL

Peeling is not a hard job if you get yourself a sharp peeler.

6:23 pm

cosdem

Oh I was. Ryan took over and Im like ok we got cable now so I'll watch tv.

Valium is not always an addiction. A lot of people take one on occasion to relax.

6:24 pm

uusue2

add another vowel in the middle of the first ca4/6, ch1212

6:24 pm

Nef

LOL! cos, you're good! ;-)

6:25 pm

Thanks, uu!! You rock. And with that, I'm out of here and enjoying my glass of chocolate wine. :)

6:28 pm

MollyL

*Makes a note for Cos's Christmas list* And when, exactly , are you eating this chili that is just now being made?

6:28 pm

Nef

JenMO16

6:42 pm

Minveryork

I live in NY&I just read that storm may stay south of NY.

6:42 pm

Nef

I'm just tired of snow and cold.

6:44 pm

JenMO16

just remember heat isn't any better!

6:44 pm

MollyL

Jen's storm is the one that is making it's way to the East Coast.

6:44 pm

6:45 pm

penquis

6:45 pm

MollyL

Heat is better. As Pen said, it's cheaper. And it doesn't dry your skin out or make you feel vulnerable.

6:45 pm

JenMO16

that's what I mean, cos!

6:46 pm

JenMO16

they are telling everyone, please don't travel tomorrow!

6:46 pm

Nef

THIS year it would be, Jen. We've had over 47 days with temps below zero (F) and I still have well over 3 1/2 feet of snow on the level in my yard. My 4 ft high chain link fence is now only 6 inches tall.

6:48 pm

bleugirl2

Don't get it pen

6:48 pm

MollyL

And when it's hot, you can drive without worry of dangerous driving conditions. I hate snow and cold. I will take heat any time.

6:48 pm

Nef

Since our last blizzard 10 days ago; the roads here are glare ice and lumps. Driving is the pits

6:48 pm

MollyL

da + this is a ***t log

6:48 pm

penquis

da + a visa is a ***rge card....

6:48 pm

JenMO16

Minveryork

7:18 pm

MollyL

Your wish is granted. Long live Jambi!

7:19 pm

cosdem

I watched the HBO special a few years ago. They had the same people playing Jambi and Miss Yvonne. Wow. They didn't age well.

7:23 pm

MollyL

It's never a good thing when shows are reinvented years after their prime. It's kind of like a mid-life crisis. You just don't look like you did 20 years ago.

7:24 pm

cosdem

The magic was gone.

7:25 pm

MollyL

Thank God for DVD's. The story of Large Marge should live on forever!

7:27 pm

cosdem

and what was with the bandaid on that man's face!

7:30 pm

MollyL

The band-aid on who's face?

7:32 pm

cosdem

the man who told peewee the story of large marge

7:32 pm

cosdem

he had a weird bandaid in a strange place on his face

7:36 pm

MollyL

I'm lost. In the movie, Pee Wee gets in the truck and Large Marge tells him the story.

7:44 pm

cosdem

right and at that bar the old man tell peewee marge is dead

7:45 pm

MollyL

Oh, you are like my kids, every second committed to memory. I only remember the truck scene.

7:47 pm

cosdem

MollyL

Ah yes, Francis, the drip.

7:59 pm

torgone

I know you are, but what am I?

8:08 pm

MollyL

8:46 pm

rururocks

That took a lot of balls to clue that one you two

8:47 pm

crosshair

cosdem

72 Temple Owl

oops, i almost typed "agreed" before i realize that is open to misinterpretation.

10:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

10:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

with my eye surgery i am broke

10:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

10:20 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

10:20 pm

stidmama

hello Min! I worked 5 hours today in a blessedly quiet space at school and whipped a few things into order! It was a good day. :-)

10:20 pm

welki

i'll take what you said to mean that you have less money than you had before, but are not in any risk of starving

10:21 pm

Minveryork

It is not fishy, just a little bit twisty and windy stidmama

10:21 pm

stidmama

okay thanks *thinking*

10:22 pm

stidmama

second letter please?

10:22 pm

o-o

artery

10:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. but iceland is a lot nicer than my hospitalroom

10:23 pm

stidmama

hey welki! frozen enough yet? We were just watching the hockey game in Chicago, and it looked sooooo cold

10:23 pm

Minveryork

Could never go to my building on a Saturday to get work done, even if I wanted to. Teachers are not allowed to.

10:23 pm

stidmama

crumbs. thanks o-o! I seem to almost always miss that one

10:23 pm

stidmama

NBT!

10:24 pm

stidmama

I know, Min -- I have a few friends in your situation. If I worked in a school like that I would not keep as many things of my own there... I was sorting through the materials I brought to use and bringing home some of the ones I don't need there right now.

10:24 pm

welki

oh stid, it'd frigid here. -32C and the wind chill makes it feel like -44 (as if I can feel the difference between the two)

10:24 pm

stidmama

oh dear, that is TOO COLD, welki! (but I bet you knew that already)

10:25 pm

stidmama

10:27 pm

stidmama

10:30 pm

rururocks

what's hardibacker?

10:31 pm

stidmama

I am hoping to be able to do it on the day that I don't have to be in school mid-week (conferences) in about three weeks.

10:31 pm

o-o

Tell them you will deduct a procrastination fee.

10:31 pm

stidmama

it's a cement-fiber board that is water-resistant used in wet areas that will be tiled.

10:32 pm

rururocks

ah.

10:32 pm

welki

hehehe hardibacker - sturdy football player

10:32 pm

stidmama

:-) Well, they don't get their final payment until we are satisfied and have occupancy... and that won't happen until they get their part done! I have confidence in my leverage.

10:32 pm

stidmama

10:32 pm

rururocks
