7:10 am
rubyfoo

Although I love split pea soup, I've never made it. Will have to see if those dried peas are available here.....
7:11 am

what is cedar fever?
7:16 am

It's funny because he never had allergies, either in NY state or in Miami
7:16 am

Cedar fever must be really pernicious
7:16 am
Aloyisius

allergic reaction to pollen
7:17 am
Aloyisius

yes, when the inlaws visited, they both became quite ill and neither had previously had allergy problems.. bronchial reaction that lasted a long time

The leprechauns came and ate up all the soda bread & honey we left out for them. They drank up all the Irish whiskey we left out for them too. Alas, the little buggars left 4 inches of snow behind.

I worked in a school and during rebuilding they were putting a shower in. One colleague planned to run at lunch time, she nipped to the loo saw there were no workmen there so she ran in, stripped all her clothes off and as she did so a spanner fell at here feet. She looked up and there was a big hole in the ceiling. I said the only way that could happen was that it was an a blokes top pocket and as he leant over for a better look0 it fell out!!

Well, yes, but we are not too off the charts to drive after one drink.

And is there some reason why you could not have had a wee sip at home?
5:19 pm
Soodle

Not here, you wouldn't. Zero tolerance. And by the time I got home, I couldn't be bothered.
5:20 pm

This is far and away the saddest St. Patrick's Day tale I have ever heard. Off to weep in my glass o'Dew.

His son is in town, Molly....they are all getting together, it's a nice thing.
5:40 pm
Trifioso

actually, funny you should say that. He is getting ready to move apartments, and tertiare said "why doesn't he just move in here?" and when I answered "we are at that stage yet honey." She rolled her eyes, said "adults! Jesus!" and flounced out of the room. It was SO FUNNY
5:41 pm

Out of the mouths of babes......

5:44 pm

Ah, I must have misunderstood the "I'm trying not to obsess" comment.
5:44 pm
Soodle

Well, my opinion, for what its worth, is that life is short. If you get a shot at happiness, go for it.
5:44 pm
Trifioso

no, Im obsessing even though it is a good thing
5:45 pm
Trifioso

I agree soodle, but I am a package deal
5:46 pm

I'd rather be sorry for something I did, than for something that I didn't do. With apologies to Kris Kristofferson for misquoting him.

I'll take the other road on that one. I've been sorry for something I did, really sorry. And that kind of damage can last a long time. Nothing wrong with proceeding with caution.
5:48 pm

in other news - is anyone here watching the new series of Cosmos? I am SO HOOKED
5:51 pm
Soodle

Trif, I've been single now for almost 7 years. Yes, there have been a few dalliances, but, nothing or nobody I would consider a 'keeper'. I have fallen into a very nice pattern, where I am master ( or mistress) of my own destiny, and I'm very comfortable with that. Maybe I'm just kazy.
5:51 pm

Lazy!

10:46 pm
Nef

How about you?
10:47 pm
jesdraggon

i've got 42 left. no work tomorrow, cuz I'm taking Bruce to the dentist to get an estimated 4-5 hours of dentistry done. He'll be too drugged to drive himself home...
10:48 pm
Nef

YUK! (Well, for him, anyway; I'm glad you have the day off)
10:49 pm
jesdraggon

yup. looking forward to a relaxing day of reading in the lobby :)
10:49 pm

Nef

What's it about Une?
10:51 pm
rururocks

I'm guessing it is a flight of fancy nef :D
10:52 pm
Uneaixoise

based on true story -- Sue Monk Kidd -- two sisters in SC in early 1800s who became anti-slavery activists
10:53 pm
Nef

good answer, ruru.
10:53 pm
Nef

Where does the name come from, Une?
10:54 pm
Uneaixoise

I believe it's from a blackbird pattern used by one of their family slaves who was a brilliant seamstress
10:55 pm
Nef

okay, it sounds interesting to me....
10:55 pm
Uneaixoise

I listened to the unabridged audiobook -- very well done
10:56 pm
Nef

I always like to know where weird titles come from; some don't seem to have any connection to what the book is about these days
10:58 pm
Uneaixoise

Kidd's audiobook version of her "Secret Life of Bees" won Best Audiobook the year it was released -- fantastic narrator
10:59 pm
Uneaixoise

ok, back to finding my last 12 words :-)
10:59 pm
jesdraggon

i've heard secret life of bees was great, but haven't gotten around to reading it
11:00 pm
Nef

I've heard of that one, it's on my list to be read too.
11:00 pm
pida 1

The invention of wings is the story of an 11 yr old girl in the south, who was given a slave for her birthday, and the following 30 something years of their lives together
11:00 pm
Uneaixoise

the movie was NOT great but the audiobook WAS!
11:01 pm
Uneaixoise

pida, she was given the gift of a slave girl but in reality, the girl died soon after -- the story of Sara and her sister is very close to fact
11:02 pm
Uneaixoise

In any case, it's very well written and quite moving
11:02 pm
Nef

I'm going to bow out for now; trying to watch the new "Cosmos" and the 2nd episode just came on again (I missed it yesterday & earlier tonight)
