3:13 am
grannyrose

3:15 am
zoozzoom

Well I am having a nice cup of tea.Then I will be going to the car-boot sales.The one time my dad likes to get out and about very slowly but out non the less.Then I will be making Sunday meal for us all at parents home.Then probably back here to finish babble if I can..lol

3:17 am

3:17 am
grannyrose

3:19 am
zoozzoom

Well my father and I have this thing where we both try and find oil paintings (Nice ones) going for only a couple of pounds. I only have a few whilst my father has about 100 or so now.And they are all hanging up all over their house..lol
3:20 am
zoozzoom

I let him win of course :-)
3:20 am
zoozzoom

I do like oil paintings but I seem to prefer water colours.
3:21 am
grannyrose

lol....my mother painted...in oils...we think in the future her paintings are going to be worth a packet...
3:21 am
zoozzoom

Yes we have a laugh and say one of these paintings could be worth millions.
3:22 am
zoozzoom

Then we google the names and find they are only worth about £50 or so..Although we do not mind as the paintings are really nice.
3:23 am
grannyrose

hold onto them, zooz. they will be worth a fortune one day.
3:24 am
zoozzoom

I do hope your mothers paintings will be worth a lot of money.That would be awesome for your grand children!
3:26 am
grannyrose

* giggle * zooz. she was a prolific painter...and she was taught by one of australia's leading artists.
3:28 am
zoozzoom

Wow sounds like she was professional standards. Did she sell any of her works?
3:30 am
grannyrose

my mum had no particular ' style '. thank goodness. she ne5 sold any of her works...she painted in so many styles.
3:30 am
grannyrose

i loved her realistic style. some people like her 'lead-light style.
3:31 am
zoozzoom

Sounds like she got so much pleasure out of paintings. I tried to paint but I stayed at the style of say a four year old..lol
3:32 am
grannyrose

roflol...zooz...i am guessing your paintings are gonna be worth a fortune.
3:33 am
zoozzoom

You will have to take photos of some and put them on flickr, Would like to see some of them.
3:33 am
grannyrose

zooz, mum painted scenes all ov4 australia. she also painted from photos.
3:34 am
zoozzoom

Have you tried to paint, Rose, You might have her artistic touch!
3:36 am
grannyrose

as a child/te4 my parents took us to a lovely holiday spot called wilson's promontory. we camped in a caravan and tent for so many years.
3:37 am
grannyrose

* giggle * yes, zooz. and dear husband has se4 my efforts, and wants me to paint.
3:38 am
grannyrose

when i retire....that is when i will think about painting again.
3:39 am
zoozzoom

Why wait to retire.You can always find a little time to sit and let your hands to some magic over a canvas and bring it to life before your eyes.
3:40 am
grannyrose

zooz, i studied "art" as at a senior level at secondary school. my efforts were ev4 included in the annual school magazine.
3:40 am
zoozzoom

We did camping when i was young too, Rose, Mostly around the Cornwall area of the UK. Loved it as a child.Not sure I would enjoy it now though.
3:41 am
zoozzoom

Wow sounds like you are very good at it then, Rose, Why on earth would you want to put it off and wait until you are retired. Get painting!
3:41 am
grannyrose

zooz, as i said to my beloved. all mod. cons. dear...nothing less...
3:41 am
zoozzoom

Yes at my age now I tend to agree with that, Rose..lol
3:42 am
zoozzoom

Some people in their seventies I know still love camping.Not for me though.
3:46 am
grannyrose

nor me, zooz.don't get me wrong..love the great outdoors..but keep me comfy...
3:48 am
zoozzoom

I also tend to get cold very quickly and it takes me an age to warm up again.I get that from my mothers side that is for sure.My sister said I must of been a reptile in my past life..lol
3:48 am
grannyrose

lol...i roughed it so much as a kid...now is the time to be cosseted.
3:50 am
grannyrose

zooz?? how is your mum going?
3:51 am
zoozzoom

She is doing well now thanks, Rose, Now we have the ashes and a little area made for him in their garden she is much happier.
3:51 am
grannyrose

please know...my heart goes out to her...
3:51 am
grannyrose

great, zooz. something solid for her to hang onto.
3:52 am
zoozzoom

Thank you. I have told her several times about how the babble community sends their best wishes to us.And she is thank full.
3:53 am
zoozzoom

Yes he had a very rough life in the end, Rose, I think mother wanted him home.
3:54 am
grannyrose

poor darling!! i so wish i could give her hugs and kisses. oh, well, you will have to do!! and that is not a bad thing..
3:55 am
zoozzoom

Mother is well looked after now bless her. I know it hit her hard.After all no one wants to see their siblings going before you.
3:57 am
grannyrose

zooz...i am not sure why your bro died...if you would rather, email me.
4:01 am
zoozzoom

He was found unconscious by a pathway and was taken to hospital..passed away four days later.We did not ev4 know about it untill some-one phoned us and said he had passed away. It was through drink and where he had been out for a while, he formed blood clots in the legs and they must of traveled and stopped his heart as far as i am aware..So sad. As we kept trying to contact him. But he did not want to know. We live on the isle of Wight and he was living on the mainland in Oxford.
4:03 am
zoozzoom

It is hard to explain. but he just would not let us in. We tried we so did try. But you can not live someones life for them even if you can see it is damaging them.
4:04 am
Kazzer99

Morning all, Zooz my nieces demise was similar to your bros - she was found 4 weeks after she had died but had cut us all off - it was v sad as well
4:05 am
Kazzer99

my sister is still not over it yet - it was in 2011
4:07 am
zoozzoom

Hello ((Kazzer)) long time no see. Sorry to hear you have gone through similar. It is sad as you feel helpless to help if that makes sense. I even went to Oxford and stayed in a hotel for a few days to find him and offer help.But he did not want to know.He was not horrible to me.just said I am happy chap and don't worry.
4:08 am
zoozzoom

Four weeks is a long time, Kazzer, So sorry to hear that.
4:08 am
grannyrose

hey ya kazzar...and zooz...that is too sad.
4:10 am
grannyrose

kazzar...oh, dear..why do our young on4 so not to want to connect to their history?
4:12 am
Kazzer99

IT makes you think that you could do something but if when you reach out and you get turned down it hurts but like you said you can only offer - people have to live their own lives
4:14 am
zoozzoom

Exactly, Kazzer, then when the worse happens you start to question yourself if you could of done more. I have come to the conclusion I just could not get through to him. But I think my mother still has her niggles in her mind..what if and so on.
4:14 am
Kazzer99

my niece had emmense other mental problems as well - her boyfriend died but he was an alcoholic as well
4:15 am
Kazzer99

my sister has been off sick with depression since it happened. She found out the day before her birthday
4:15 am
zoozzoom

Sad, Kazzer, very sad.
4:16 am
zoozzoom

Has other members of the family tried to chat with her and see if they can help in any way?
4:17 am
Kazzer99

Not really - it didn't help that my dad dropped dead 6 months later - that was a shock that my mum still hasn't come to terms with. it made for a very sad 2011
4:18 am

4:20 am
zoozzoom

When I was on anti-depressants I tried so many different types and non of them worked for me.I am sure they do help many people but it did not stop me trying to end my life three times.
4:21 am
zoozzoom

Aww I think having a pet is great therapy..good for her.
4:21 am
Kazzer99

4:22 am

I take Xanax for anxiety and it gets me through the night (since 2001) but, years ago, during a severe depression, I took anti-d's and they enabled me to work through the whole thing
4:22 am

Little bugger..you must be very tasty, Kazzer *giggles* Just been looking after my sisters's dog..little tear away that one too.
4:22 am

4:23 am

I am very pleased they worked for you, Ruby.
4:23 am

Aww that sounds cruel?
4:23 am
rubyfoo

I was fortunate.
4:24 am
zoozzoom

He is just being protective of his master :-)
4:24 am
rubyfoo

No zzoozz, the dog will just sneeze and might think twice about biting. The other way is to be armed with a waater pistol
4:24 am
zoozzoom

Or he thinks he is head of the group..lol one or the other.
4:25 am
zoozzoom

I would stick a rubber bone in his mouth just as he tries to take a bite..that would have the little bugger :-)
4:26 am

11:20 am
jaxx7

My American cousin merely prayed to him when we were having trouble selling my MIL's house. it worked within a week.
11:21 am

Sunscreen will keep you from getting burned and will protect from UV rays, but it won't do anything about what the heat does to you.

zurich, nan. My son was teaching there for the month of June, and his wife took the kids over two weeks ago.
4:23 pm
cybernan

wow -- are they home for good, or just for a visit?
4:24 pm
Dorens

i'm at their house in Baltimore, and they're home for good. He does this every year it seems, last year Oslo, the year before Copenhagen, the year before Paris. these kids have some amazing passports!
4:25 pm
cybernan

what a wonderful way to see the world, though! What subject does your son teach?
4:26 pm
Dorens

He teaches pharmaceutical stuff at johns Hopkins Med Schoo, is involved in international consortiums on the subject
4:26 pm
cybernan

He sound like a very brilliant guy
4:27 pm
Dorens

he is… i know he'd be a professor back when he was in fourth grade. (he didn't though) when he said he wanted to go to med school at first my thought was, "No, you're supposed to be a professor" But I kept quiet and half way through med school he came up with his plan to go for the PHD as well
4:29 pm
cybernan

you must be excited to see them again -- how old are the grandkids?
4:30 pm
Dorens

they'll be five and eight this week. and yes, it's been longer than usual and i'm dying to see them.
4:30 pm

enjoy your visit -- I'm sure you'll have a great time :-)
4:31 pm

yup. i'm watching them the next three days while their parents get back to work. I'm sure it will be a blast.
4:32 pm

I've had my g'daughter for one week and will have her again this week. She's learning how to swim
4:33 pm
cybernan

I remember you saying she was coming -- Savannah, isn't it? How are the lessons coming?
4:34 pm
bichon

Really well. She has lost her fear of having her head under water and jumping into the pool
4:34 pm
Dorens

fortunately mine have been through lots of swimming lessons, cause I think we'll be spending a lot of time at the community pool and it would be much harder if they weren't strong swimmers. not sure about the 5 year old but they say he's come a long way.
4:35 pm
cybernan

That's great. I always took a huge rock with me when I taught swimming. Let the kids hold it both out of and in the water. When they saw how much less the rock seemed to weigh in the water, I'd tell them that's why it was easier for them to float if they kept their heads back.
4:36 pm
bichon

She's having lessons at the town pool. There's only two kids to an instructor
4:36 pm
Dorens

smart
4:36 pm
Dorens

how old is she bichon?
4:38 pm
bichon

she'll be 7 on Halloween. Her mother [my daughter] had her wearing a life vest for the last two years. She's never found the time to take her for lessons
4:38 pm
bichon

This year I put my foot down
4:39 pm
cybernan

Our 14 yr. old grandaughter is coming to visit on the 19th. She is taking part in a 2 week musical theatre workshop while she is here. They will be putting on a performance of Hairspray at the end of the workshop.
4:39 pm
Dorens

my daughter in law was a water polo player in high school, always big on water sports and the kids have both been in lessons at the Y during the winter since they could barely walk
4:39 pm
bichon

I'm hoping to send her to the Y Day Camp next year.
4:40 pm
Dorens

that sounds like fun nan; does she live near you?
4:40 pm
Dorens

two weeks with her sounds lovely. A 14 year old who wants to spend time with her grandmother is rare these days. Congratulations
4:41 pm
cybernan

no -- she lives in southern Alberta -- a 10 hour drive from here.
4:41 pm
Dorens

so your visits aren't frequent, I see you make the most of them!
4:43 pm
cybernan

no -- we only see our Albertan grandchildren 2 or 3 times per year as we don't like driving the mountain roads in the winter and most of them are out of school and have more interesting things to do with their holidays than visiting "old folks".
4:45 pm
cybernan

but I'm not kidding myself -- I think the draw is the musical theatre camp, not us!
4:45 pm
cybernan

3rd ce 6, please?
4:46 pm
Dorens

I see mine once a month, because I drive down here to see them one weekend a month, come hell or high water. Wish I could get them to visit me, but their parents don't seem to want to drive up to NJ. so here I am
i'm sure it's a combination of the two… she wouldn't go to a musical theater anywhere else would she?
4:46 pm
Dorens

ce + ****cs are people who can endure a lot of pain

to pleasure or pain that should have read
5:16 pm

Thanks Peri, I read the definition. Indifferent to pain is different (to me) than being able to endure a lot of pain. It's semantics I guess.
5:18 pm

In the spiritual connotation, a stoic is someone who is at peace. Their spirit is not engaged in the highs and lows of the exterior world. Not emotionless, just not moved by emotional hubbub. Again, it is a semantics, perception thing.

Hi there -- had to come back to share...anyone who has ever spent time in a "walled city" will love it:
"RETARDED" GRANDPARENTS


Written by a third grader, on what his grandparents do.

After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house, but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Arizona . Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on their bicycles, and wear name tags, because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a building called a wreck center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now, they do exercises there, but they don't do them very well.
There is a swimming pool too, but they all jump up and down in it with hats on. At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out, and go cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out.
And, they eat the same thing every night - early birds. Some of the people can't get out past the man in the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center for pot luck. My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and, says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let people out, so they can visit their grandchildren.

Bich, are you liking 24: Live Another Day?
6:05 pm
bichon

No, it's formulaic. They should have just reran the first two seasons
6:06 pm
MollyL

Oh too bad, I'm really liking it. Jack Bauer is the biggest badass ever to hit television. I'll take him in any form I get him.

<---I'm no badass bichon
6:07 pm
MollyL

I always find it interesting how people use that "formula" thing to refer to other renditions of a series. What else are writers supposed to do when they are bringing back a well loved character and series?
6:09 pm
MollyL

And there would be no point in re-running Seasons 1 and 2. They are already available on several web streaming sites so they would not go over on network TV.
