:) Morning Friend

3:10 am

sprite

hi my darling pugs, how are you today?

3:12 am

puglet

Iam better than yesterday and was going good,but just a few min. the water has froze out at the pump house and now He's in a foul mood

3:12 am

puglet

oh, and congrat on your good news from your group

3:13 am

sprite

I love your new icon. Glad you are feeling better. And jeez, he's got to get his moods under control. Nobody's fault the pump froze, that is just bad luck

3:13 am

sprite

thank you :) Am sitting here with two apples for breakfast (just got out of bed!) and intend to do yoghurt for morning snack.

3:14 am

puglet

thanks, yes I know, but someone has to take the blunt of it and Iam the lucky one

3:14 am

puglet

good for you! So glad you are feeling better

3:15 am

sprite

I hope you don't accept it. You don't deserve to get the blame of the weather.

3:16 am

puglet

Iam not saying anything, Iam just letting him rant, to say anything will just make it worse

3:16 am

sprite

I understand, darling. *hugs*

3:18 am

puglet

thanks----I got to take everyone to town today and now with no water, Iam going to have to melt some snow to clean up the best I can--lol

3:18 am

sprite

ok enable is nuts. "Spork' is not valid!

3:19 am

puglet

did your kids return to school

3:20 am

sprite

yes, holiday is over, back to normal for them. So... I got a phonecall in the middle of the first therapy session, that Tim wasn't in school... he had overslept.

3:21 am

puglet

oh no! that makes the day go bad right off the bat!

3:23 am

sprite

yeah I was pretty pissed, lol. Phoned him several times, getting more and more worried, and finally he answered. The dunce. Plus he had forgotten all his chores and some agreements we have made, so he was in for a nice ear warming when he came home yesterday :)

3:25 am

puglet

it sounds like your day yesterday was about as bad as mine--lol

3:26 am

sprite

no darling, mine was ok, just the normal mother stuff. Teenagers are like that. Is your head better?

3:26 am

puglet

I hope your day goes better for you today :)

3:27 am

puglet

yes no pain, just feel drained from all the stress of yesterday but I will be okay

3:27 am

sprite

glad the pain is over at least. And I hope you get to rest a bit today.

3:28 am

puglet

it wont be until this evening...but I will at some time

3:29 am

puglet

are you getting to rest today

3:29 am

sprite

hate it that you can't feel safe at home

3:30 am

puglet

I feel safe just mentaly beaten down sometimes

3:31 am

sprite

ok, that is progress :) Yeah, I can imagine how it makes you feel bad. Please remember he is wrong giving you lip and bad attitutes.

3:31 am

sprite

attitudes*

3:31 am

puglet

I hate the trips to town at the first of the month. I have to lift those heavy feed bags and it makes my hernia hurt for a few days afterwards

3:32 am

puglet

yeah, he needs alot of work on his--lol

3:34 am

sprite

darn it, is there nobody who can help you lift them?

3:40 am

puglet

sorry my power kicked off

3:41 am

puglet

most of the times no----he runs off and does his thing, I never see him until Iam back at the car

3:41 am

sprite

welcome back :)

3:42 am

sprite

maybe you should bring a friend next time, pugs. Ask someone to help you do the heavy lifting.

3:43 am

puglet

I hate to say Sprite, I dont have anyone--Carol and she loves too far away

3:43 am

puglet

I meant lives

3:44 am

puglet

sometimes I do pay someboy to do it for me if one is about

3:45 am

sprite

you definitely need more friends :(

3:46 am

puglet

I have you guys here and Carol and sometimes Cindy when she wants to be one.

3:46 am

sprite

that is too few, and rose and me and the rest of the babblers are too far away to physically help you.

3:48 am

puglet

not too many people are very trustworthy Sprite and plus Iam ashame to share my life with to many

3:48 am

sprite

I do understand, darling, though you have nothing to be ashamed of. I just wish you had a few more real friends within a short distance.

3:52 am

puglet

when nicer weather gets here Carol and her family camps at our campgrounds just about every week end and thats really good for me

3:53 am

sprite

oh that is awesome! Yay for Carol. I wonder, pugs, isn't there some neighbourhood activity you could take part in? Get to know a couple of other people that way?

3:55 am

puglet

Iam out in the country and theres not much to get into since I dont have my horses anymore.

3:57 am

puglet

I have a use to be friend just down the road from me and we were good friends(or I though we were)I use to work for them cause they had a stable there and broke horses

3:57 am

sprite

would you please try and find out if there is something? I feel that if you were a little less isolated, you would feel better overall and be able to help out and get help yourself for some heavy chores. Might be a start of a new friendship too.

3:57 am

sprite

just a thought, mind, don't mean to be pushy.

3:58 am

puglet

okay, will have to wait until this weather breaks---and no way are you ever that

3:59 am

sprite

lol yeah, with the weather being what it is there, you can't do much of anything. I really hope it will clear up soon.

4:00 am

sprite

fireflies! And I have to be off, answer some emails and do some domestic stuff. *hugs* my darling pugs. Take care of you and be safe and well.

4:01 am

Wolvie

i posted some pics on fb- it is different lol- i like it tho. this is the home i am renting from and for friends- while i look for one to buy- and they get this one redone for another renter. works for us both as it keeps me closer to where i want to buy property- so no hotel bills :-)

7:33 am

lbdawger

Aloyisius

phantoms phantoms everywhere - nefarious, notorious, riotous.. maybe I'll find a real word soon.. hi all

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Hi Aloy! I haven't seen those words.

8:40 am

Aloyisius

(-: hi Scrabbs..

8:40 am

Aloyisius

have to work on cleaning up potato vine today, but am enjoying a cuppa and Babble his morning

8:41 am

Aloyisius

this morning even

8:43 am

Aloyisius

Beetle Bailey's dog is a word!

8:44 am

Gail

Spork is a word, too!

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Gardening is far from my thoughts. We are deep in winter here and will continue to get fresh snow over the next week.

8:44 am

Aloyisius

agree, hi Gail

8:44 am

Scrabbler

It is the number 8 in Italian.

8:44 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Gail.

8:44 am

MollyL

Potato vine?

8:44 am

Aloyisius

ah, ty Scrabbs..

8:44 am

Gail

Good morning.

8:45 am

Scrabbler

I always put sweet potato vines in containers with coleus in the spring. They look so nice all summer.

8:45 am

Aloyisius

hi Molly... yes, very invasive.. interesting plant tho.. hubby has an idea, (LOL).. take the potatos, put them in the bathtub and make vodka!

8:46 am

Aloyisius

my Mom always grew sweet potato vine in the kitchen by the sink

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Aloy

8:46 am

Scrabbler

I get different colors of sweet potato vines--greens, purples.

8:46 am

Aloyisius

so, we are picking up the potatos, and hubby is sending them through the grinder

8:47 am

MollyL

Ah, never heard of them. The potatoes I've grown grow under ground, not on vines.

8:48 am

Aloyisius

there is an insect that is NOT native that will eat the leaves of the potato vine; the local Audubon bought and released 500 of them at one of their parks but I'm afraid to do that bc the insect has no known predators here

8:48 am

Aloyisius

yes, these are air potatos

8:48 am

MollyL

I see, like Air Jordans : D

8:49 am

Aloyisius

lol... I did some reading about them; the native Indians could use them as a food source as long as they were well cooked - toxic otherwise

8:50 am

Scrabbler

And air guitar.

8:51 am

Aloyisius

We have an air plant growing that has beautiful flowers on the end of long shoots

8:54 am

Aloyisius

fish crows are back.. up north, the RW blackbirds are early birds of Spring - down here, the fish crows and mockingbirds tell me Spring is nigh

8:56 am

Aloyisius

am listening to the fish crows now.. they make me smile with their calls.. "uh uh"

8:57 am

rururocks

are you counting fish crows?

8:57 am

MollyL

Around here, Spring is currently wrestling Winter to let loose her ghastly grip on us.

8:58 am

Aloyisius

no ruru, not unless they appear during our dock sit.. every evening I do count birds during that period.. count them and log the direction of their flight

8:58 am

rururocks

spring is kinda here.. kinda not

8:58 am

rururocks

that sounds peaceful Aloy

8:58 am

MollyL

New Band: Hootie And The Counting Blowfish Crows

8:58 am

Aloyisius

have been doing that for years.. very interesting..

8:58 am

Aloyisius

patterns emerge after a while

8:59 am

rururocks

yes... I studied lots of birds (sea birds) in college

9:00 am

MollyL

*Holds up a lighter and yells SEA BIRD!! Oh...sorry...wrong song...*

9:00 am

Aloyisius

it is very peaceful indeed, our reward for the day.. wow, ruru.. wish I had done that.. recently we have been spotting black pelicans circling the area, unusual.. we are inland a ways from the Gulf

9:01 am

rururocks

lOl molly

9:01 am

Aloyisius

I meant brown pelicans, sorry

9:01 am

rururocks

you can tell when black pelicans come to florida by the rap music aloy

9:02 am

Aloyisius

LOL, hope they visit elsewhere

9:02 am

Aloyisius

not a fan of Rap music

9:02 am

rururocks

me neither

9:03 am

rururocks

I despise it

9:03 am

rururocks

we are going to have a nation of millenials in hearing aids soon

9:03 am

MollyL

I still haven't figured out the difference between Rap and Urban Contemporary

9:03 am

Aloyisius

cacaphony to me

9:04 am

Aloyisius

potus is not a word

9:05 am

MollyL

But AWOL is, go figure

9:05 am

Aloyisius

Dorothy's dog won't work either

9:05 am

Aloyisius

am at the point of monkeying

9:08 am

Aloyisius

bbs, think I need some b'fast..

9:11 am

On phone with mother now and will do her shopping soon. Bye, kids.

9:21 am

Judi

Good morning, Babblers!

9:21 am

hego

Hi Judi

9:24 am

Aloyisius

unfar is near, unfat is slim.. still working those monkeys.. if my arteries don't clog from the egg/sausage/cheese sandwich I just ate, maybe I'll see some new words. Hi to Judi and Hego; Hego, why is your icon box all white? Are you snowed in?

9:25 am

hego

Hi Aloy. It isn't white to me.

9:25 am

hego

strange.

9:25 am

hego

I'm incognito today.

9:25 am

Aloyisius

9:32 am

hego

It was my favorite part of the trip.

9:32 am

Aloyisius

am serious, Hego.. next time you come down, let me know.. would love to have you visit!

9:32 am

hego

where are you?

9:33 am

hego

I forgot you were down there. Dang!

9:33 am

Aloyisius

Punta Gorda

9:33 am

hego

I went to Sarasota.

9:34 am

Aloyisius

further south, maybe an hour to 90 min away

9:34 am

Aloyisius

we used to have a condo in Bradenton, so I would fly into that airport

9:34 am

Aloyisius

just sold it this year

9:34 am

hego

Yes, I see now.

9:35 am

hego

Maybe next time.

9:35 am

Aloyisius

the truth is, we use the PG post office, but we actually live in "Cleveland" Florida.. isn't that weird?

9:35 am

hego

My cousin lives in Bradenton and another in Gulfport.

9:35 am

Aloyisius

out in the boonies.. we love it

9:36 am

hego

lol

9:36 am

hego

Yes, it's very congested around Sarasota.

9:36 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

9:36 am

Aloyisius

no kidding

9:36 am

hego

I didn't care for it.

9:36 am

hego

Hi Ruby!!

9:37 am

rubyfoo

may I have stats for any 7 or 8, pls

9:37 am

rubyfoo

hego, did you see any anhingas draped across trees?

9:37 am

Aloyisius

when I stayed at the condo, I would actually walk to the grocery store with a basket-on-rollers bc the traffic was so bad

9:37 am

hego

????

9:37 am

Aloyisius

hi ruby!

9:37 am

Aloyisius

anhingas are lovely

9:37 am

rubyfoo

|I miss Florida

9:37 am

hego

What is that Ruby?

9:38 am

Aloyisius

big bird like a cormorant

9:38 am

hego

Maybe, but am not familiar with them.

9:39 am

rubyfoo

I used to go to the Everglades whenever I could, either with visitors or just with my son

9:40 am

Aloyisius

well folks, I gotta go.. work to be done before I can Babble some more, so ciao for now..

9:40 am

hego

ciao Aloy....

9:41 am

rubyfoo

they dive for birds and then hang out in the trees with their wings spread to dry

9:42 am

rubyfoo

bye aloy

9:43 am

rubyfoo

on Fisher Island we had resident wild parakeets, 100's of them with huge nests in the palm trees and, occasionally, migrating orioles of all colors

9:43 am

hego

sounds lovely

9:43 am

rubyfoo

I'm an old (very old) bird watcher

9:43 am

hego

I enjoy them too.

9:43 am

rubyfoo

there were peacocks, too

9:44 am

rubyfoo

It's been fun learning the different birds here. Many are similar, but not the same as birds in th US

9:44 am

hego

We have to wait for spring here for birds.

9:45 am

rubyfoo

My husband feeds them all winter, so many of them stay and I've been watching the "residents" getting their spring plumage

9:46 am

hego

must go. Have a great day Ruby.

9:46 am

rubyfoo

bye, hego

10:01 am

MLFAN17

hello

10:05 am

car.eeyore

Hi everyone. Need a talk off the ledge....

10:05 am

MLFAN17

hi car are you okay?

10:05 am

car.eeyore

We are trying to adopt a puppy....

10:05 am

Judi

Consult the great oracle of Babble, Car!

10:05 am

car.eeyore

The invasive nature of the adoption process is bothering me.

10:06 am

jaxx7

In what way?

10:06 am

MLFAN17

car they have to be cautious

10:06 am

Judi

Oh yeah. Some of the adoption agencies go above and beyond the need to know.

10:07 am

MLFAN17

judi yep

10:07 am

car.eeyore

I understand that, I really do. But they are also charging over $400 for the dog. If we are going to put out that much money, we are serious about adopting the dog.

10:07 am

Judi

Best to avoid any agency that gives you the "ick" feeling.

10:08 am

jaxx7

$400 seems an awful lot of money.

10:08 am

Judi

$400 for an adoption?!? That's a purchase, not an adoption. Outrageous.

10:08 am

MLFAN17

400 bucks??????

10:08 am

MLFAN17

agreed with judi

10:08 am

car.eeyore

I am OK with the phone interview with the vet. However, we have a cat who is 17 years old. He is a recluse and only stays in our bedroom...no where else in the house. We no longer take him to the vet because it is waaaay to stressful on him.

10:09 am

car.eeyore

Yup. And i still have to pee in a cup and give a blood sample.

10:09 am

car.eeyore

NOt really, but that would be easier.

10:09 am

car.eeyore

They are also planning a home visit. Best not be a surprise drop in or I will be pissed.

10:09 am

MollyL

Nothing about this sounds right to me. 400 dollars for a dog? Is it a pedigree?

10:09 am

jaxx7

Do they actually get many people to adopt a dog?

10:10 am

MLFAN17

a puppy and an elderly cat might nto be a good combination

10:10 am

car.eeyore

Actually, it is the norm. Check out Petfinder.

10:10 am

MollyL

I agree about the puppy/elderly cat combination.

10:10 am

MLFAN17

never heard of a home visit but it makes sense

10:10 am

car.eeyore

It is a rescue organization.

10:10 am

car.eeyore

Cat will be fine with the dog. No worries there.

10:11 am

car.eeyore

He just ignores them.

10:11 am

jaxx7

They do a home visit in the UK. It is a regular thing.

10:11 am

car.eeyore

And, as I said, the cat is only in our bedroom. The dog will be in the lower part of the house.

10:11 am

MLFAN17

has to go both ways though car

10:11 am

Jeff7

I have 2 rescue Papillons. Both were adopted at about 2 1/2 years old. The fees were $250 and $350 for them

10:11 am

Judi

I have heard of home visits, which I have no objection to. Some rescue organizations are "for profit", which leaves a lot of leeway for what the definition of "profit" is.

10:11 am

MLFAN17

oh block off the stairs?

10:12 am

Jeff7

The cost includes shots, checkup and spay/neuter

10:12 am

MLFAN17

two of our cats were adopted

10:12 am

car.eeyore

Yes...the fee includes shots, checkup and transfer costs from Kentucky.

10:12 am

car.eeyore

All of my pets are rescue pets. I have NEVER been through this type of inquiry though.

10:13 am

Judi

Ah. Transfer costs would explain the extra $$.

10:13 am

MLFAN17

can't you get a puppy from the state you live in?

10:13 am

car.eeyore

I also work with a feral cat rescue org, so I get the basics of it.

10:13 am

car.eeyore

He is in this state now.

10:13 am

MLFAN17

car that is so awesome

10:14 am

car.eeyore

The website explains that it also helps cover other dogs who may require more care.

10:14 am

car.eeyore

It is a border collie mix pup.

10:15 am

MLFAN17

i love border collies they are a nice breed

10:15 am

MLFAN17

do they know what its mixed with?

10:15 am

car.eeyore

Looks like a lab.

10:16 am

MLFAN17

sounds like a nice mix

10:16 am

car.eeyore

Anyway, we haven't even MET the puppy yet. Don't you think that should come before the Spanish inquisition?

10:16 am

car.eeyore

They are delving into our personal shit and we haven't even had a meet & greet?

10:16 am

Judi

Tough call, Car. Is the agency transporting the dog or did you do that?

10:16 am

car.eeyore

They did, but they were doing it anyway

10:17 am

Judi

I wouldn't give out any financial or social security info. They don't need to know that.

10:17 am

jaxx7

I would think twice if I were you. Souns odd to me

10:17 am

jaxx7

sounds even

10:17 am

MollyL

I agree Jaxx, sounds very odd.

10:17 am

Jeff7

there are so many scam adopters that use the dogs as bait for dog fighting or resales or other nefarious enterprises that many adoption groups are extremely careful

10:18 am

car.eeyore

No, not quite that deep. But, "did you talk to your neighbors? are they supportive about you adopting this dog?" Ummmm....really?

10:18 am

Jeff7

plus they don't want to go thru an adoption and get the dog returned afterwards

10:18 am

car.eeyore

And we just had the horrible Puppy Doe beating, and I totally get that.

10:18 am

MLFAN17

car who cares if they are or not but you want your pet to be safe thats for sure

10:18 am

car.eeyore

Absolutely.

10:19 am

Judi

Wha? Neighbors? Nonsense.

10:19 am

car.eeyore

See, I knew this was the place for a discussion. All good viewpoints. I appreciate BabbleLand so much.

10:19 am

MLFAN17

car do you live in a neighborhood where everyone keeps to themselves?

10:20 am

car.eeyore

We are very friendly with our neighbors.

10:20 am

car.eeyore

Grew up with them for 40+ years

10:20 am

Judi

There's a fine line between thorough and over-zealous when it comes to dealing with adoption agencies. If ANYTHING in the deal makes you uncomfortable, don't go there. The risk of a scam is too great.

10:20 am

car.eeyore

But really, none of them give a shit if I get a dog.

10:20 am

MLFAN17

thats good some people dont like it if a pet gets loose and they go into their yards

10:20 am

jaxx7

I agree with Judi

10:21 am

MLFAN17

car is this your first tiem adopting an animal?

10:21 am

car.eeyore

My point exactly. Do you think it would be appropriate to request a meet with the pup before offering forward any more information?

10:21 am

Judi

Personally, I feel it's none of my neighbors' beeswax what pet(s) I choose to keep.

10:21 am

car.eeyore

No. All my animals are rescue pets.

10:22 am

car.eeyore

This is the first time it has ever been this difficult and intrusive.

10:22 am

MLFAN17

car are you using the same place you have before? i now a lot of those places the laws/rules have changed

10:23 am

rastapopolous

oh man! "Nutritious" if only we could use that u twice

10:23 am

car.eeyore

I guess I am naive. If I was working with rescue animals, someone coming forward willing to pay the fee, offering up vet information and references...that should be enough.

10:23 am

car.eeyore

No. This is an agency through PetFinder

10:24 am

MLFAN17

we went through pet smart. whatever group was there at the time

10:25 am

MLFAN17

can anyone tell me the stats fro the lone i on 5th column please?

10:26 am

MLFAN17

we tried to get a cat locally the wanted to know what vet dr we use

10:26 am

car.eeyore

ir 4/4

10:26 am

jaxx7

ir4

10:26 am

car.eeyore

OK, trying to write an email about a meet and greet. Just keep it simple? "We would like to set up a time to meet (puppy)" is that OK?

10:26 am

Judi

Vet reference requests are fairly common. I think that's a good question to ask.

10:26 am

jaxx7

A flower

10:27 am

MollyL

I think it's necessary for you to interact with this pet before you commit to owning it.

10:27 am

MLFAN17

duhh thanks

10:27 am

car.eeyore

Yes, Molly, I totally agree. They seem to have all the information at their end but we have very little.

10:27 am

MLFAN17

nbt

10:28 am

MLFAN17

car sounds a bit fishy to me

10:28 am

car.eeyore

If they so no to the visit with the pup then I am done.

10:29 am

jaxx7

I hope you haven't given them financial details yet

10:29 am

car.eeyore

No, but she did ask if we would be able to care for the dog if there was illness or injury

10:29 am

MLFAN17

can i get a clue for pu8 please?

10:30 am

MLFAN17

car thats common

10:30 am

car.eeyore

Yes, I was OK with that. And I am OK with the vet inquiry.

10:30 am

car.eeyore

I think I am more bothered by how long it is taking and that we have not met him.

10:31 am

flosey

MLF continuation of the pu5/8 - sounds like a special midday meal starting with a different letter

10:31 am

MLFAN17

might be a good idea to meet it first. and make sure you have its history even though its only a puppy

10:32 am

car.eeyore

Exactly!

10:32 am

MLFAN17

got ti flosey thank you very much

10:33 am

MLFAN17

the cat we got originally we wanted to take it back but they wouldnt do it even though they said they would. we ended being fine with it anyway

10:33 am

jaxx7

Maybe even get your vet to check it over

10:35 am

flosey

yw mlf, and Car, good luck with finding a pup to your liking - and bless you for adopting, there are so many needing new and happy homes

10:35 am

MLFAN17

but make sure you know when it was fixed or checked and what was done etc or what they found out

10:35 am

MLFAN17

agreed flosey

10:35 am

car.eeyore

Not neutered. we will do that.

10:35 am

car.eeyore

It took us a long time to find this pup which is to our liking...that is what is so hard.

10:35 am

jaxx7

But they have charged you for that!

10:36 am

car.eeyore

Honestly, that is OK with me. They have an adoption fee and if that money can be used to help another rescue that is OK with me.

10:36 am

MLFAN17

arent they usually spayed and neutred at a vet ?

10:37 am

car.eeyore

The older dogs are

10:37 am

jaxx7

You need to get close up and personal and put them through the third degree. Sauce for the goose and all that

10:37 am

car.eeyore

Good idea. Think I will do some research of my own right now.

Enable doesn't know about email, you think it would know about a spork? : D

12:21 pm

One tu is the butt word with an extra middle consonant and a vowel at the end

12:25 pm

MollyL

The other tu rhymes with a foul mouthed person, but spelled differently

12:26 pm

cybernan

1:45 pm

uusue2

true enough!

1:46 pm

lilliann

i was the same for tutti Sue and thanks for the torus as it gave me another to5 word :)

hello friends

3:02 pm

lilliann

Hi Trif

3:03 pm

Trifioso

hows everyone?

3:04 pm

lilliann

That's Sewing Bee finished.how the hell they can makes things from scratch! i can just about sew a button on.luckily enough the bairn takes after my amm and can sew.she's thinking of doing textiles as they call it now for one of her options in September

3:04 pm

lilliann

Fine ty Trif, how are you?

3:05 pm

Trifioso

just fine. very pleased to hear sewing is a making a comeback! it's one of my favorite things to do. being able to sew has really brought a LOT of happiness into my life

3:07 pm

lilliann

i've never been good at it Trif.Everything i made at school my mam unpicked.i can do crosstitch and that's my sewing skills.my daughter is actually very good but is very hard on herself and if things go wrong she'll throw them away.

3:08 pm

Trifioso

oh dear. I understand that.

3:08 pm

Trifioso

the WORST is when I make something, and it doesn't look very well on me

3:08 pm

lilliann

My mam gave her a good sewing machine, but because she hasn't used it since November she can't remember how to use it for all the stitches and the instructions are all in French

3:09 pm

Trifioso

she should definitely look online! most things have there instructions in PDF format these days - has saved my bacon more than once!

3:13 pm

lilliann

I told her that earlier.Just because it is a French machine doesn't mean that it isn't sold in other countries, so there should be instructions in English somewhere.She's never made clothes yet and that will be one of her tasks if she takes it as G.C.S.E and will ahve to make her own prom dress, but for the first year it will cuddly toys and she will have to use a patten which she has done both with her nana, but as i said to her the machines are all different at school anyway

3:13 pm

Trifioso

yes. but I am still thrilled to hear it's even offered. it is really becoming a lost art

3:15 pm

MollyL

Sewing was more popular when it was cheaper to make your own clothes. That is not the case anymore.

3:15 pm

lilliann

yes, it is a good thing, but sadly still not as popular as other subjects offered.i must admit, if it had been when i was at school i wouldn't have done it

3:17 pm

lilliann

well, not neccessarily so Molly.On Sewing Bee tonight they had a cheap shop bought long t-shirt and had to change it to what they wanted...admittedly they could use other things but some of the dresses and tops they made would have cost more to buy in a shop

3:17 pm

jaxx7

I still have nightmares about sewing at school. To say I was hopeless was an understatement. It took me three terms to make a pair of white sport shorts with pleats. By the time I finished they were grey and res where I had bled on them while unpicking the seams over and over again. To add insult to injury, the darn things didn't even fit!

3:18 pm

Jillyjill

Hello again babbleworld!

3:18 pm

MollyL

Sewing Bee? You have a TV show called Sewing Bee?

3:18 pm

lilliann

Plus, if you are a sewer, you'll have fabrics and ribbons etc and can add just a little for not alot, plus you can buy cheap clothes from charity shops and change them.

3:19 pm

lilliann

yes.i like watching it, even if i can't do any of it :) The bairn likes to watch it for hints and ideas

3:20 pm

Jillyjill

I love sewing, as long as I can figure things out and not have to use a pattern. When we were in the military I searched for second hand fabrics and made all my curtains, did slip covers etc.

3:21 pm

lilliann

Hi Jaxx, i know how you feel, it took me for ages to sew anything and then my mam had to unpick it all, and everyone else in my class were making cuddly toys and things when i was using my finger as a pin cushion:)

3:21 pm

Trifioso

way to go jilly!

3:22 pm

Trifioso

and sadly, now I must go. bye all!

3:22 pm

jaxx7

I much prefer knitting

3:24 pm

lilliann

Brilliant Jilly! my mam never passed her sewing skills onto me, as she makes curtains, duvets clothes and now does alot of patchwork things in france and she could knit and crotchet.i can't do those either!

3:24 pm

lilliann

Bye Trif.Lovely to see you.tc

3:25 pm

MollyL

Oh there must be a knitting show too, right? Knit Yer Knickers?

3:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello babblers

3:26 pm

lilliann

Thankfully not Molly and if i had to knit a pair of knickers they'd end up crotchless as all my knitting always ends up with more holes than stitches!! :)

3:26 pm

lilliann

Hi TO :)

3:26 pm

jaxx7

In the fifties my mother used to knit our bathing suits. Theywere fine until you went in the water. They stretched to your ankles.

3:27 pm

lilliann

But we do have create and craft on sky adn they do knitting and crocheting aswell as other crafts

3:28 pm

MollyL

Oh thank you for Sewing Bee. I just can't stop laughing about that : D

3:28 pm

lilliann

Aye, i remember my mam saying that about their bathing suits jax.my grandad was a really good knitter and made all my brother's clothes when he was born as he was prem and my mam couldn't buy any to fit him

3:29 pm

jaxx7

My colleague where I used to work was a naval man and he was a fantastic knitter.

3:30 pm

MollyL

You guys are killing me. A TV show called Sewing Bee and a crusty old navy man with knitting needles. Whee!

3:31 pm

lilliann

My grandad was in the army, but i think my great grandmother might have taught him.my nan couldn't knit.

3:32 pm

lilliann

i must admit molly, Sewing bee makes a nice change from all the cookery programmes

3:32 pm

jaxx7

years ago sailors used to do all their own knitting. Those ganseys and fairisle sweaters were unique to a family. When a man drowned and his body recovered, he could be identified at once by his sweater.

3:33 pm

lynxxx

Why so funny Molly? I have seen several US shows out here about knitting and other crafts as well. There are also quite o few blogs by rather dishy US guys featuring knitting

3:34 pm

lynxxx

and good morning all

3:34 pm

doseffing

... you needed to be able to knit well enough to darn socks because when they wore out you never knew how long it would be before you got another pair ... marching in bare feet is not fun

3:34 pm

lilliann

he was in the 2nd world war jax, so he may well have been taught in the army.i know they had to be able to sew

3:35 pm

jaxx7

A sewing bee is a sewing form of knit and natter. People get together and swap ideas and skills. It is an old tradition.

3:35 pm

lilliann

Hi Lyn

3:35 pm

lilliann

ooh, what blogs are those then Lyn, with the hunky men?

3:37 pm

lynxxx

settle down Lil!

3:37 pm

lilliann

yes, because in the 2nd ww, they had sewing bees to knit socks and jumpers for the men at war, amongst other things

3:38 pm

jaxx7

They did it in WWI as well

3:38 pm

lilliann

Lol Lyn.I'll try :)

3:39 pm

lilliann

Yes, you're quite right Jax

3:39 pm

jaxx7

I have some of my mother's wartime pattern books. believe it or not some of the garments are fashionable today.

3:39 pm

lynxxx

Nowadays you can sort of do it on line...presume you have both seen Ravelry. Lions Brand Yarns also have a community arm

3:40 pm

jaxx7

Craftsy and Love knitting are two others.

3:40 pm

lilliann

That's great Jax.well, fashion does tend to come back around

3:41 pm

jaxx7

Vogue offers lessons on line as well.

I can't say i have Lyn as i'm not a knitter.my mam taught me how to crochet and i was quite good at it as it's supposed to have some holes but i couldn't remember how to do it when i came home from France

3:42 pm

jaxx7

3:42 pm

lynxxx

Berroco = not so much community but great free patterns, and now offer reasonably priced pdf patterns as well

3:44 pm

lilliann

No, i wouldn't do them now as i have to many problems with artritis in my fingers to do them and i'd forget how to after a few days of not doing them because of my memory problems.it's bad enough on both counts with this game.

3:45 pm

lynxxx

yeah - knitting is a killer on the fingers at the best of time

3:45 pm

jaxx7

I have an arthritic right thumb. It makes knitting painful but not impossible

3:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi lyn

3:45 pm

lilliann

I like my card making and jewellery making when i can do it

3:46 pm

lilliann

Card making is easier:)

3:46 pm

lynxxx

3:47 pm

lynxxx

(typing!)

3:47 pm

jaxx7

I think you and I could be twins, Lilliann. My spare room is full of cardmaking and knitting suoolies. Don't tell my husband but I shall have to live to be 150 to use it all up.

3:48 pm

lilliann

I'm not a good enough knitter anyway Jax but after 5 minutes i have to stop as it's too painful and it's not a hobby i enjoy

3:48 pm

jaxx7

supplies, I meant

3:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

no. if simi valley california, its all the way on the other coast. there is one in san diego i would love to go to though.

3:49 pm

lilliann

LOL, me too jax, and my husband moans everytime there is a crafty parcel delivered.luckily enough, he's away most of the year!! :)

3:50 pm

lynxxx

Yes - California - there are some hour long YouTubes of zydeco artists there - just great

3:50 pm

jaxx7

Mine monitors the post and grumbles each time I get a parcel (I had 2 today). It is different when the delivery is of fishing tackle, though

3:50 pm

lilliann

I think he knows though as my craft room has more units in to hold it all :)

3:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

jsu tlooking - have seen many of the zydeco and blues artists on the bill. they are having andre thierry and he is playing our mardi gras party this saturday.

3:51 pm

lynxxx

3:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:52 pm

lynxxx

I haven't - but will. Do you know something I don't?

3:52 pm

lynxxx

Really cheap!

3:53 pm

lilliann

I know, jax, mine has bought a new car, which he has always wanted, but it's in my opinion expensive to buy parts for and so he's on eybay all the time buying car things and now films, and hoses for his coach.I call him the 'Ebay King.'so i now turn it around and say to him 'What have you been buying now?' lol

3:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, cheap at $20 per day

3:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

lyn, do you do fb?

3:54 pm

jaxx7

I do that too, but my other 'arf has learned over the last 40 years how to become conveniently deaf.

3:56 pm

lynxxx

not really TOwl

3:57 pm

lilliann

lol, i do that...oh, i am deaf, so i can get away with it...lol :) I just say i've had it for yonks and forgot all about it which then starts him off saying 'exactly, you've got too much stuff' which i reply i can never have enough crafty stuff and i need it to keep me busy and sane and i'm allowed a hobby :)

3:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

i see 5 zydeco band when i google zydeco australia and a blues and zydeco festival.

3:58 pm

jaxx7

The woman who used to front Create and Craft on TV said she used to buy things and sit and stroke them kather than use them. I am not that bad -yet

4:00 pm

jaxx7

rather. I think my typing skills have deteriorated.

4:01 pm

lilliann

Oh, you mean Stephanie Weightman? i'm not either but it is very addictive, and i keep telling myself i don't need certain things and then have to have them.well, it's better than smoking and drugs!

4:02 pm

jaxx7

I must admit I liked her better than Dawn Bibby

4:03 pm

lilliann

I didn't realize that they have that other craft channel until the other day.i don't watch C&C all the time as i'm not into cd crafts as much...too costly on printing and i can't cut everything out.

4:04 pm

lilliann

Aye, me too.Dawn comes over quite snobbish, and sometimes i think she's rude to the guests, as in she thinks she knows more

4:04 pm

jaxx7

Stephanie has gone to QVC and Dawn to C&C

4:05 pm

jaxx7

Did you ever hear the way she spoke to her husband. No wonder he divorced her.

4:06 pm

lilliann

Really.Stephanie is still there at C&C though because she was presenting the other day.i know she went away for a while because she had a hip op, but i didn't learn that until about a month ago when she was back on C&C

4:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

and ty for bringing that one to my attention. last year i went to strawberry park, rhythm and roots in RI , jambalaya jam at kempton pa, and arn and jerrys dance-a-thon- in NJ as well as crawfish festival in nj

4:07 pm

lilliann

I remember seeing dawn on QVC a couple of times and her husband was in the background, but not how she spoke to him

4:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh and dancing by the bayou in washington dc

4:08 pm

jaxx7

She treated him as if he were brain dead

4:09 pm

lynxxx

4:13 pm

lilliann

That wouldn't surprise me jax.Are you watching the potd on Ideal?

4:13 pm
