phant lotion just because i keep typing it for some reason
12:56 am
saanichcat

it is a 12 foot Davidson, not sure if it's a sailing dingy or not but I plan to row and motor (2hp) around the Inlet all summer
12:56 am
saanichcat

It was a gist
12:57 am
rururocks

nice.. sounds peaceful and useful
12:57 am

gift
12:57 am
rururocks

figured that saanich
12:57 am
rururocks

nice gift
12:59 am
saanichcat

It was given to me by my best friends (she died) husband in memory of all the happy times we had here. Saanich Inlet is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It is a small (400( community and we even have our own fire dept.
1:00 am
rururocks

how nice
1:01 am
saanichcat

I haven't named her yet
1:01 am
rururocks

400 people. I lived in a town of under 500 people.. I felt like everyone knew my business
1:01 am
rururocks

we should have a contest her to name her
1:01 am
saanichcat

that is the horrible part of a tight-knit community.
1:01 am
rururocks

yes. it is
1:02 am
rururocks

you sneeze on one end of town and everyone knows you have a cold
1:03 am
saanichcat

I probably will call her "Thistle ll" as my first one was Thistle
1:04 am
rururocks

what was your friend's name? first name
1:04 am
saanichcat

I even had a guy ask if I had changed jobs because he used my loud truck as an alarm and all I had done was change hours
1:05 am
flosey

oh oh here come the red boxes

flosey

oh oh here come the red boxes
1:07 am
dofith

hi, everyone. Ru, you're an honorary Aussie today? No longer Greek?
1:07 am
saanichcat

my last post got blown up by the red boxes. and ru, I also thought of using her name
1:07 am
rururocks

today I'm a new zealander
1:08 am
rururocks

that'd be a nice way to remember her saanich
1:08 am
rururocks

I filed for my passport today :D
1:08 am
saanichcat

there are a number of private reasons why I decided not to
1:09 am
dofith

oops! Sorry, NZ - I didn't look closely enough!
1:09 am
rururocks

oh.. well skip that idea then
1:09 am
saanichcat

it was a good one though
1:10 am
rururocks

I have to name my car then I guess
1:11 am
dofith

Another good reason to change the flag. You Canadians managed to do it without disrespecting all those soldiers of the past who apparently "died for the flag".
1:11 am
saanichcat

and christen the tires with your favourite wine as a good kuck charm the car will keep you safe
1:12 am
rururocks

I love New Zealand Dof.. can't wait to visit there this next year
1:12 am
rururocks

my favorite wine costs more than the car :D
1:13 am
dofith

Will you come a little further, to Oz? And then a little further, to West Oz??
1:13 am
joshuavorbis

i like west oz
1:13 am
saanichcat

oh. A decent champagne then and finish the rest - doen's take too much on the tires!
1:14 am
dofith

Do you, Josh? Been here? As for me, I'd LOVE to go to Canada!
1:15 am
joshuavorbis

i have! drove all the way up the coast to broome in...2005 it was

I spent 6 weeks in Australia and wanted to stay forever
1:15 am
joshuavorbis

and across the nullarbor
1:16 am

I will do Australia someday .. that's for sure.
1:16 am

Too hot and flat and dry here. Your cool weather, snow and mountains (in the west, at least) appeal to me.
1:16 am
rururocks

after france and Alaska, and northern Italy
1:17 am
joshuavorbis

i am from a much warmer place originally dofith. southeast USA
1:17 am
dofith

aaawow, Josh! I've never done that!
1:17 am
dofith

saan, why???
1:17 am
dofith

We could do a house swap.
1:19 am
saanichcat

we started in Cairsns and plane-hopped islands and towns down the coast. They offred spaghetti sandwiches for breakfast! But the food was fabulous, My ex was a wine writer and we got the special treatment at all the winneries. Met Max Lake

One of my sons lives up north in a mining town (iron ore) - one day when we visit him we'll drive on to Broome.
1:19 am
rururocks

I didn't know that saanich
1:19 am
joshuavorbis

i liked broome a lot. i wish i could have kept going but i was running out of money at the time
1:20 am
saanichcat

actually dof we should think about that seriosly!
1:20 am

My sister and family lived in Vancouver for a couple of years, and absolutely loved it. She'd go back in a heart beat.

1:26 am
dofith

You've won me! Plan - we fly to nth west USA, hire car, drive down to about Georgia, across sth east US to New Orleans, up the middle and west to Colorado, across to west coast, up west coast to Canada and then to your house!
1:26 am
dofith

I'm in Perth
1:27 am

When we get to your house, I'll lose our passports and will just have to stay in Canada!
1:27 am

what an amazing trip! Would it be a year or more?
1:28 am
dofith

And we have a little beach house further south which is where I am today - it's themiddle of winter and we went walking at the beach this morning!
1:28 am

I thought Australia allowed dual passports, but maybe that was a long time ago
1:29 am
saanichcat

Beach House??? This is getting bettter! I live across the lane from a beach
1:30 am
dofith

Onl if you have the right to citizenship in another country e.g., many friends with an English parent have dual passports. One of my daughter's in law has 3!
1:30 am

thanks for clarifying that
1:31 am

dofith

It has got her into trouble. When they lived in the UAE, she'd entered with her Aussie passport; while we visited, we travelled to Oman and she took her British passport because her Aussie one was away getting her work visa rnewed. They wouldn't let her out because according to the passport, she hadn't entered! It was a mess!
1:32 am
saanichcat

and I am going back to the puzzle! Dof we need to figure a way to keep in touch
1:33 am
dofith

I will remind you of our pact, saan - leave it to me!

2:56 am

Looks like you are asking too much of your body...
2:56 am
grannyrose

and you darling sprite...how was last night?
2:56 am
grannyrose

and peach, how are you, today, hun?
2:57 am

2:57 am
grannyrose

oh, nice, darling. they are long over-due...
2:58 am
sprite

oh, and I did the cooking yesterday, made a soup and an oven dish with homemade sauce, and they LOVED it.
2:58 am
gapeach

Doing ok, so far, Rose. Have had vertigo and a uti that has had me down since Memorial Day.
2:59 am

2:59 am
grannyrose

of course they did, sprite. you are the best cook.
2:59 am
grannyrose

peach, you are on antibiotics, yes??
3:00 am
sprite

lol rose, thanks for the support :) Well, not the best, but I can do simple stuff.
3:01 am
gapeach

Urinary tract infection. The antibiotic they gave me was one that I am alergic to and didn't know it. Broke out in a horrible rash on the lower part of my body. Better now, still on Prednisone.
3:01 am
sprite

oh dear. Am glad things are a little better now, peach. *hug* Such unpleasantness.
3:02 am
sprite

sidenote: so close to coitus. How frustrating.
3:02 am
grannyrose

ugh, peach...naughty peeps to prescribe you the wrong meds. you poor darling. are you on sachets to alkanise your urine? as well? and do you have the correct an5 now?
3:02 am
gapeach

Thanks much, Sprite. Please keep me in your prayers.
3:03 am
sprite

I will, peach.
3:05 am
gapeach

I think so, Rose. It has been very unpleasant. I literally could not get out of bed with the vertigo. Had to have someone come and sit me up and then the vomiting started.....friend called ambulance and spent about 4 hours in ER.
3:06 am
sprite

that is very bad vertigo. Poor peach! And yay for good friends.
3:06 am
gapeach

Amen to that, sprite.
3:07 am
grannyrose

awww peach...not the best day of your life, i am sure. and now?? how do you feel now?
3:08 am
gapeach

I am just now getting some strength back. I don't get that sick often. Thankfully.
3:10 am
sprite

such things take so much out of you. I hope you will take your time getting back to your old strength.
3:10 am

Think I will finish this later.....Blessings y'all.
3:11 am

bye peach, all the best *hug*
3:11 am

xoxox, peach...i pray you will feel better sooner rather than later, hun
3:13 am
sprite

any sign of our pugs yet, rose?
3:14 am
grannyrose

nope hun. i am hoping it means she is having a sleep in
3:15 am
sprite

yeah that would be great
3:16 am
grannyrose

btw, our canary...he has been decidedly disgruntled the last few days. sitting on the bottom of his cage, feathers all fluffed out. i twigged he was cold, and put his cage cover 3/4's of the way over him.
3:17 am
sprite

oh good for you! And did he like that?
3:17 am
grannyrose

don went one step further...and has turned the heater on, at the other end of the house, to warm the whole house....for a bird!!
3:17 am
sprite

roflolololllll oh god that man is priceless
3:17 am
grannyrose

lol, bird is happy...
3:18 am

3:19 am
sprite

hehehe I knew you meant Don. And yes, he certainly is. Must be to keep a wonderful woman like you riveted.
3:19 am
grannyrose

i hope pus is okay. just realised how late it is for her.
3:20 am
grannyrose

ughhh...*pugs*
3:20 am
sprite

yeah, for her, it is late. But for normal sleep it is still early. So maybe she is having a real good night of sleep.
3:20 am
grannyrose

praying it so, sprite. it would be wonderful, right?
3:21 am
sprite

sure would
3:22 am
grannyrose

i keep praying she will get into a "normal" routine. perhaps the combo of working and the meds will get er there.
3:22 am
sprite

that would be awesome. She really needs something like that.
3:22 am
grannyrose

*sigh* her...
3:23 am
grannyrose

i really need to cut the finger nails...i think i have typed a letter, and i haven't done so...uuughh!
3:24 am
sprite

but that is a very good sign on you, rose :)
3:25 am
grannyrose

*giggle* yes sprite. teeth not connecting with fingernails.
3:25 am
sprite

very good. That means that the stress you are under now is purely physical. Not good either, but more manageable.
3:26 am
grannyrose

oh, yes, sprite. exactly.

3:31 am

3:31 am
zoozzoom

I thought you were cutting your finger growth, Rose lol
3:31 am

I am fine, thanks zooz.
3:33 am
zoozzoom

My mother did not want the ashes spread about in different places..she said she would prefer her son in one place and where she can speak to him.
3:34 am
grannyrose

zooz, have had a very quiet saturday here...just my shower and re-make the bed with clean sheets to go...oh, and of course dinner.
3:34 am

it was my neighbour's daughter, to ask if we had any small crosshead screwdrivers. We did.

night night, ruru, sweet dreams
3:44 am
zoozzoom

Have a wonderful sleep, Ruru.
3:44 am
grannyrose

sleep well, ruru
3:45 am
zoozzoom

I always make sure I have philips screw heads & flat head screwdrivers.
3:46 am
sprite

is that what they are called in english? The cross ones? Philips screwdrivers?
3:46 am
grannyrose

ditto crossy. i know. it is a strange statement from a female...but it is true, mate
3:47 am
sprite

same for me. I even have my own sets. Because my husband puts his away in different places all the time.
3:47 am
zoozzoom

Yeah for some reason..probably because the guy who invented them was named philip..I am not sure though.
3:47 am
grannyrose

i/we have a set of small phillip's and straight screw driver bits.
3:47 am
sprite

ok, will try and remember that. In dutch they are called, literally translated, crosshead screwdrivers. "kruiskopschroevedraaiers"
3:48 am
zoozzoom

I too have a couple of sets..you can never have too many. I must admit I do leave mine all over the place.
3:48 am
grannyrose

okay, spritey..i will remember that...too
3:48 am
sprite

mine are always in the same spot, so I can grab them without having to search for them.
3:49 am
zoozzoom

Wow that is a mouthful, Spritey, but crosshead is used just as often too here.
3:49 am
sprite

some word to remember, huh rose :D
3:49 am
sprite

ah, that is good to know, thanks zooz
3:50 am
grannyrose

zooz, sprite, did you know one of the first presents don bought me....was a set of my own to4s.
3:50 am
zoozzoom

LOL really?
3:50 am
sprite

oh that is awesome, rose! I bet you knew he was a keeper straight away :)
3:51 am
grannyrose

this was before i introduced him to the concept of NO yours and mine. lol
3:51 am
grannyrose

lol, really, zooz
3:52 am
sprite

I like having my own set. At least I can find them when I need them, lol.
3:53 am
grannyrose

yes, i know, sprite. but it is also a good principal to learn that WE share.
3:54 am
zoozzoom

Medical question...I have an itchy scalp have had it for years now..I had been given nizoral from the doctors which does not do anything..I have tried itchy scalp head & shoulders shampoo and many many ohters but noe work..Any ideas what I could try?
3:54 am
zoozzoom

Sorry doctor said I have eczema of the scalp.
3:55 am
sprite

lol yes, true, rose. My love and I have this running gag. In dutch law, when you are married, everything you buy (like a house) is yours 'for the undivided halve'. So we always use that phrase, even for a simple apple.
3:55 am
sprite

ouch, eczema, that is not easy to treat
3:55 am
grannyrose

zooz, sounds to me like eczema. ask your doctor for a liquid cortisone solution which you can use.
3:56 am
zoozzoom

That is the only place I get eczema thank goodness..but when I am on a bus it sometimes looks like I have head lice or fleas..lol
3:56 am
zoozzoom

That is what Nizoral is I think, Rose.
3:57 am
grannyrose

oh, dear...am i right again??
3:57 am
sprite

don't wear any hats or such, be outdoors and in the sun often, try to lower the stress levels (yeah right).
3:57 am
zoozzoom

LOL yeah right is ..er right, Sprite..I do try but as you know not easy..lol...I do not wear hats though and I do like being outside as often as I can.
3:58 am
sprite

and don't wash your hair too often. Especially with heavy duty stuff like head & shoulders, it will make things worse in stead of better.
3:58 am
zoozzoom

You are always right, ((Rose))
3:58 am
sprite

baby oil for the crusty spots and baby shampoo are recommended.
3:58 am
grannyrose

hmm, sounds like you need a moisturiser. what do you think, sprite?
3:59 am
zoozzoom

Ahh I do wash my hair every other day as I can not stand the thought of being un-clean..have a thing about personal hygiene.
3:59 am
sprite

*grin* see below for what I think*
3:59 am
sprite

in that case, use baby shampoo, zooz.
3:59 am
zoozzoom

Baby shampoo could a great idea!.
4:00 am

Many thanks for your suggestions :-)

noooo, zooz...johnson's are not the answer, mate.
4:03 am
zoozzoom

But that is a baby shampoo?
4:03 am
sprite

the gentlest baby shampoo you can find. Like Zwitsal (do you have that overthere?)
4:03 am
zoozzoom

Not heard of it, Sprite?
4:04 am
zoozzoom

will google it to see.
4:05 am
grannyrose

yes, mate...i would rather you try a gentle soap.....like velvet...
4:05 am
grannyrose

velvet s a pure soap...
4:06 am
grannyrose

* is *
4:06 am
zoozzoom

I can get hold of Dove products which have a neutral PH balance and they do shampoo too?
4:06 am
zoozzoom

No, Sprite, it looks like it is just where you are :-(
4:06 am
grannyrose

hmmm, not sure, zooz.
4:06 am
sprite

velvet would be ok
4:07 am
zoozzoom

I will ask the chemists what they suggest to use..OK will look up velvet.
4:09 am
sprite

you could try Eucerin shampoo as well
4:09 am
zoozzoom

Geez looks like I can not get velvet either..this country is crap.
4:10 am

OK searching.

here, a good solar setup to storage cells will pay off in ten years, with the panels themselves lasting 15 with 80% generating capacity remaining in the last 5 years

these are about the same. . . and 20 years from now the technology will be better

A lot of generating stations are switching from coal to natural gas - not a discernible difference as far as carbon goes. Especially since our coal is basically non-sulphur.

9:41 am
crosshair

worse is that i can hear them clearly even though the sound system in the theatre is destroying my hearing at 120DB
9:42 am
crosshair

When you can FEEL the sound, it is too much
9:43 am
MollyL

I don't understand the ridiculous volume in movie theaters. Did everyone suddenly go deaf?
9:44 am
crosshair

lol, it is not just me then:)
9:45 am
crosshair

modern theatres should have headphone jacks for each seat. then we can hear it at our own comfort level if we desire and not have to listen to the yakkers or cell phones unless we wish to
9:45 am
MLFAN17

i agree i went to see a movie once it had the surround sound etc it was too loud for me so i waited for hubby in the lobby of the theater. I usualy have to sit with one ear close at theaters. Now with my ears the way they are it varies(though i havent been to a movie theater in a while)
9:45 am
crosshair

nevermind that. bluetooth head sets are widely available and would be perfect for that application
9:46 am
MLFAN17

cross but headphones can mess up your hearing just as easily regardless of noise level
9:47 am
crosshair

no, they would be adjustable as to volume i would hope
9:47 am
MollyL

I'm imagining a theater full of people wearing 3D glasses and blue tooths, looking weirder than the aliens on the screen.
9:47 am
crosshair

set it at your own comfort level with volume
9:47 am
crosshair

sadly, my eyes cannot register 3-d within movies;)
9:47 am
MLFAN17

if they added some of that stuff though i would imagine the price of tickets would be more then it is now
9:48 am
crosshair

so Life of Pi was a letdown for me in more ways then one
9:48 am
MollyL

I tried 3D glasses when we went to see Avatar. They gave me a headache. I took them off.
9:48 am
MLFAN17

okay i give up what are the stats for the last ti4?
9:50 am
crosshair

last year, when i was fitted with my very first pair of rx glasses the optometrist told me that my eyes had a condition where they operate fully independantly of each other. there is no harm in this , but it makes watching 3-d movies pointless
9:52 am
MollyL

Cool. Can you look in different directions with each eye? : D
9:52 am

i can

Neat!
9:54 am
MLFAN17

phew got the last t word on first column and that letter is greyed
9:54 am
crosshair

for example, i can aim through a gun scope with oney eye, and with the other i can see you sitting directly to my left with the other eye
9:55 am
MLFAN17

i can make my eyes go out of focus
9:55 am
crosshair

i can do that as well
9:56 am
crosshair

and i can unfocus just one eye if using a scope, so i do not close the eye that is not aiming, i just unfocus it
9:56 am
MLFAN17

i have no idea how or why and its strange i have met a lot of people with my same disability who can also do it. I know you are not cross but it was pretty shocking that i had heard others liek me can and now to meet someone ese who can in general is so cool
9:56 am
crosshair

it is cool:)
9:57 am
crosshair

i consider it an asset, not a disability. it has stood me in good stead in many situations
9:57 am
crosshair

other than 3-d movies that is
9:58 am
MLFAN17

yeah i love doing it at times because i dont have to focus on what a person is saying or the expression on their faces under certain circumstances
9:58 am
crosshair

i can spot wildlife in a natural setting easier, i can aim a gun more accuratly and you stand less of a chance sneaking up on me
9:59 am
crosshair

it is a sublte thing. Have not though on it in a while. It just is. I imagine i would miss it horribly if i no longer had the skill
10:00 am

it doesnt come as easily to me as it used to i guess i am losing the skill to do it to an extent

It is a lot like trying to explain to a person how you can wiggle your ears. Some can do it, many cannot.

no

i can wiggle my ears

10:06 am
hego

<--still working on walking and chewing gum at the same time.
10:06 am
MLFAN17

i dont know how i learned to make my eyes go out of focus but i think it came because i was listening to someone speak and i didnt want to look at them so thats what i wanted to
10:06 am
MLFAN17

hego then change your chewing gum:)
10:06 am
hego

lol. good idea!
10:07 am
MLFAN17

i used to chew gum not bubble gum but its been sticking to my back teeth and my jaw cracks so i dont do it anymore
10:08 am
MLFAN17

i am not real disappointed that i cant make a bubble with bubble gum as it makes me sick to my stomach anyway
10:08 am

It gives me a headache to chew gum.

never. they would not dare without calling beforehand

i agree molly

I wish, Crossy! My car was vandalized yesterday--window smashed and backpack (with purse) stolen at parking lot of a park. Same for my friend's car.

10:47 am

scrab that is not good. did you put a stop to any credit cards etc that you or your friend has?
10:47 am
Scrabbler

Driver license, 2 credit cards, bank card, AAA card, health insurance card, ...lots to replace. $50 is least of my worries.
10:47 am

yes, the cash is the least of the problem when a purse or wallet is stolen
10:48 am
MLFAN17

i had my purse stolen once big pain to get all that stuff stopped
10:48 am
MLFAN17

and replaces
10:48 am
Scrabbler

We spent the afternoon making phone calls and none of our cards showed activity. My hope is that the thief wanted cash for a drug purchase and tossed our bags away. Then I hope an honest person finds our bags.

Such a pain!

Drug addicts want cash for their next fix, so I am hoping our bags were discarded and can be recovered, although that is probably not realistic.

I once had a little umbrella stolen from my pocket in Madrid.

They say you should put valuables in the trunk of your car. I'm not sure why when thieves can break the window and pop the trunk.
10:59 am
hego

Madrid is tough.
10:59 am
hego

So they're not visible Molly.
10:59 am
Scrabbler

I will look into a home security system, but the problem is I live in a rural area and the sheriff's car would arrive after the thieves departed.
11:00 am
Scrabbler

My friend's purse was stolen from her trunk yesterday because the trunk latch was popped.
11:00 am

The best thing is Not to leave anything of value in your car.

Home security in the country is a big dog that bites and a baseball bat.
11:01 am
hego

I don't think Scrab's bunnies would like that.
11:01 am
Scrabbler

Yes, and I am mad at myself because I held my purse and almost took it with me, then thought it would be safer in the car rather than possibly getting wet during a hike. Stupid me.
11:02 am
hego

There's no telling Scrabs.
11:02 am

I have heard that parking lots at parks and hiking trail parking lots are often where car thieves will strike, figuring you will be away from your car for an extended period of time.
11:04 am

Yes, the perfect crime scene.
11:04 am

I used to leave my purse in the trunk when we walked around the lake. Now I carry my cell phone and my wallet in a hip pack.

I read about that crime, Mimi, as a local priest knew that murdered one.
11:16 am
MollyL

And just for the record, Phoenix is an isolated area in terms of carrying weapons. Americans are not gun crazed gun toters.
11:16 am
MimiCat

I would think the guys who are obviously carrying would really be a target for someone who wanted to take them by surprise, grab the gun and kill someone, starting with the guy they stole the gun from.

Oh, yes, Molly, it truly is the wild west here. But we actually have much less crime than many places with this size population...go figure.

hopefully it was kids.. you will have to monitor your credit and see if new stuff pops up
11:35 am

sometimes they just want cash
11:35 am

How can you monitor a canceled card?
11:36 am

you go to Experian or one of the other credit monitoring companies and check
11:36 am
MLFAN17

i need the oo 4/5 please?
11:36 am
rururocks

the problem is that the more you check it affects your credit score.
11:37 am

But if the card is canceled, it can't be used.

they can make new ones molly..it's easy

We all get together for Christmas/Thanksgiving as well. There's just no point carrying hard feelings from the past. Our issues were most about being married, so now we don't have those and we can be friends. It's nice for our kids that we get along.

11:45 am
rururocks

11:46 am
MimiCat

Yep---absolutely the only time. I don't believe in jealousy...it's a waste of energy and I just have never really engaged in it. Never competed for a man either....if he wants me, he wants ME..otherwise, he can just go on his way.

12:11 pm

Ru, I don't get why they did a credit check on a car purchase that you didn't finance.
12:12 pm
rururocks

me neither.. I asked them why.. they didn't have a good answer other than procedure and to confirm that I was who I said I was.. it was strange
12:13 pm
MollyL

Yes, Mimi left (or may have left, you never know with Mimi) but Judi can still check in with her later.
12:13 pm
rururocks

like I'd be some guy to buy a $50K car under a false name and drive it off
12:13 pm

And why would they care, they got their money. Weird.
12:13 pm
Judi

That would be so gangster!
12:14 pm
rururocks

LOL
12:14 pm
jubi

They just did a piece in the news about that. Has to do with drug smugglers buying cars with money that they haven't paid taxes on?
12:14 pm
rururocks

oh.. I didn't use my drug money funds
12:14 pm

Oh, well then you're busted Ru.
12:14 pm

co 7 clue please?
12:15 pm

Drug dealers usually just steal cars. Or drive them off the lot for a test drive and never return them.
12:15 pm
MollyL

And from what you've said, the IRS has sucked your last vein dry, so no worries about them.
12:15 pm
rururocks

I love telling the finance guys that I don't need to finance.. just to see their reactions.. it's priceless
12:15 pm

You know the irs wants their due no matter how the money is earned
12:15 pm

Lucky you ru
12:16 pm

the IRS is sucking this weekend again Molly I pay quarterlies
12:16 pm

That is my dream. To walk into a dealership one day and when they say "how would you like to finance this?" my answer would be "I'm not financing it". Whee!
12:16 pm
rururocks

*makes big sucking sound*
12:16 pm
Judi

Hope you are writing off the car as a business expense, ru.

12:18 pm

I would think if you walk into a car dealership, point to a car, plunk down a full payment and cash, then give them your ID, the wouldn't be asking very many questions.
12:18 pm

there isn't any local produce here, the area is too touristy for there to be farms, just local cheese
12:34 pm
rururocks

wow
12:35 pm

I think all that moving is mainly what killed my first marriage
12:35 pm

1:39 pm
MollyL

Enable is persnickety, Nan.
1:40 pm
cybernan

hate the use of t for a pt - would like to strike that from enable
1:40 pm
MollyL

Also, I don't think sotto stands alone in Italian. I think it needs to be part of a phrase, like sotto voce.
1:41 pm
cybernan

hopefully we will get a dictionary some day that is controlled by a person who knows how to spell
1:41 pm
MollyL

Oh I don't think so. I don't think Dr. God has any plans to upgrade this place.
1:43 pm
MollyL

There are a lot of words that use t for past tense. Blest, burnt, crept, dealt...
1:44 pm
cybernan

the last 3 I agree on, but blest is really blessed
1:45 pm
cybernan

blest be the pure in heart? --- I don't think so!
1:45 pm
MollyL

You could say the same about burnt, it's really burned.
1:46 pm
cybernan

it burned, but it was burnt
1:47 pm
MollyL

Blest is an Old Testament word. It's used a lot in the Psalms.
1:48 pm
MollyL

Burnt and burned are used interchangeably. "She was burned at the stake"
1:48 pm
cybernan

but not the Beatitudes -- strange
1:49 pm
MollyL

It all depends on who was writing and how long they had been fasting in the desert. : )
1:49 pm

think we could go back and forth on this all day - no wonder those for whom english is a second language get confused!
1:51 pm
MollyL

It's not just English. Many languages have oddities about them. I can tell you that from experience in my attempts to learn French.
1:51 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

hi all. and just to but in, some languages (like French) have an official board to govern spelling, and when new words arrive, how they will be spelled, etc, but nothing like that for English
1:52 pm

Oh, always feel free to but in Gwen. Your insight is appreciated. : )

people have been trying to start an english spelling reform movement for at least 100 years. there is too much resistance.
1:54 pm
cybernan

gave up on remembering all the conjugations in french --- found out that most french people really don't care if you can speak the language perfectly or not -- they are just pleased that you try to communicate in french. Also found that my broken french makes them more comfortable trying to speak english.
1:54 pm
MollyL

Of course there is. Who wants to have to re-learn their language?
1:54 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

seriously, we should just start pronouncing things all wrong, just to prove that we need spelling reform. Ri-ch-t?

As a person of Irish descent, I have never heard the name Sean pronounced as seen.

I've just had a lovely Skype chat with my daughter Sarah. She relocated to the UK on Thursday. I miss her like crazy, but it was a strategic career move. (She got a great job there, and there are no jobs here) i'm happy she seems comfortable there.

4:18 pm

Wow, how things have changed. She was taken on a Skype tour of her new billet before she committed. I have Google-Mapped where she is living, up and down the street. It's amazing how technology can allay a fretting mother's fears.

Oh dear, you are stalking her on Facebook and mapping her whereabouts on Google maps. : O

Hardy Har Har Molly! Seriously! I'm not that bad! I'm painfully aware that there are some things that my offspring engage in, that I really DON'T need to know about.
4:35 pm

Indeed. And at least you are honest about that. So many people consider their offspring "sainted" with no chance of doing anything untoward.
4:41 pm

I'm a 'Need to know' Mom

Funny, I'm a "would rather not know" Mom. Especially after they fessed up about some of the things they did, that I missed.

MollyL

Once mine got old enough to live their own lives, I let them tell me what, where and when things were going on. All part of my letting go process.
4:51 pm
Soodle

I hear you, Molly. A policeman friend of mine told me about an incident about 4 years ago. My Paul (son of Soodle), and about 10 of his buddies, all 19-20 ish, decided to drive round & round a roundabout in the middle of our town. Nobody could get onto the roundabout, or off it. The little monkeys created havoc for about 4 hours, until the local constabulory arrived & threatened to arrest the lot of them. Not a hanging offence, but they annoyed the whole toe
4:52 pm
Soodle

...the whole town..
4:52 pm
MollyL

And hey, it is no big surprise that you and I have kids that would do something like that. : D
4:55 pm
Soodle

And then, there was the incident when Paul 'acquired' a blue flashing light, and was almost done for impersonating a police officer... Good Lord. No wonder I'm prematurely grey!
4:56 pm
MollyL

Oh damn, this is making my kids and their misadventures look good. (I'm developing a serious like for your son)
4:58 pm
Soodle

But, for all his illegal activity, it was pretty harmless. Nobody got hurt... Intensely annoying, but harmless. You'd love Son of Soodle, Molls. He's a diamond!

Keeping it up when you can will reduce the pain, and I'd guess for several weeks.

10:47 pm
rururocks
