12:04 am
Trifioso

hey torgone! It was a great show - but I have to admit, when Johnny came out to play an encore with the band, I LOST my sh*t
12:04 am
Aloyisius

am smitten, Trifioso!
12:05 am
Trifioso

How do I put this delicately? The Bad Boys from Boston are AMAZING to listen to....but to look at? Not so much. Johnny Depp on the other hand? he is BEAUTIFUL
12:06 am
Aloyisius

sigh..
12:09 am
Trifioso

1:46 am
juniperberet

messy, flosey
1:46 am
mayneman

what about messy
1:46 am
flosey

the grid has been acting up lately, "temper tantrums" as Dr. God refers to them - pages and pages of red boxes
1:47 am
flosey

ah, that's it, thanks MM, and that's FW
1:48 am
flosey

how are you MM, and Lyn?
1:50 am
mayneman

we're both well. i'm painting most days and lynn is busy in the bookstore, 4 days a week
1:51 am
flosey

sounds good, what type of painting?
1:51 am
mayneman

watercolor, mostly landscape
1:54 am
flosey

so much beauty on Mayne, plenty to choose from - and that beautiful park/garden Bob took us through
1:56 am
mayneman

i volunteer there every monday morning. you've got some fantastic painter on your island.
2:05 am
flosey

I've anways been attracted to lighthouses - but I am not a painter in any sense of the word - but yes, there are many good painters
2:06 am
flosey

you mean you come to SSI to volunteer?
2:07 am
mayneman

no at dinner bay on mayne
2:08 am
flosey

ah, nice
2:09 am
flosey

I've only been on Mayne once, when a group came over to play bridge but also to tour the island - that was a long time ago, when Joan was with us
2:11 am
mayneman

in the old days we did most of our shopping at ssi. but since the ferry schedule changes we've been going to the big island.
2:12 am
flosey

I don't get over to Vanc. Is. much anymore either - occasionally to Vancouver to visit our girls
2:14 am
flosey

but that would have been when Joan was with us - two reasons for coming over?
2:15 am
mayneman

we can get almost everything we need on our tiny island, its even better for you.
2:16 am
puglet

greetings friends
2:16 am
flosey

really, that's great - I expect all the islands will pick up a bit once the ferries shorten their routes and raise fares
2:16 am
puglet

5:54 am
lbdawger

5:54 am
bojazz

too early, or too much eatin' - that covers both for me...
5:55 am
lbdawger

too early for sure. whatcha been up to?
5:56 am
bojazz

nothing - retired 3 months ago and trying to adjust to all the free time :)
5:56 am
lbdawger

congrats on the retirement!
5:57 am
bojazz

thanx - wasn't my first choice, but it's working out ok - how're you?
5:59 am
lbdawger

hard to put an old work horse out to pasture, huh. me, same ol' stuff. work, babble, work, sleep, babble...
6:01 am
bojazz

routine - nothing wrong with that. you're in Cali?
6:02 am
lbdawger

In Montana. having a heat wave so add whining to that list. lol
6:03 am
lbdawger

how are you keeping yourself entertained?
6:05 am
bojazz

in process of closing business down and buying a home - moving to be nearer my daughter and her family. Have a nephew in Bozeman - that is one beautiful area
6:06 am
lbdawger

where does your daughter live? Bozeman is lovely, but expensive. it's grown so much since I lived there back in 93.
6:07 am
bojazz

daughter is 150 miles north of me in South Carolina
6:07 am
MimiCat

Morning, everyone! Dawg...we're sure up early here in the West.
6:07 am
MimiCat

Hi, bo...nice to meet you.
6:07 am
lbdawger

not too far of a move then for you. I'm sure she'll be happy you are closer to her.
6:07 am
bojazz

hi Mimi
6:07 am
lbdawger

Hi MImi!
6:08 am
bojazz

oh yes - says she needs to keep an eye on me lol
6:08 am
MimiCat

I starting taking early retirement last year but still work to supplement. I work at home, though, and it's very nice. I am writing a book and there are so many things I'm interested in that there aren't enough hours in the day for me. I'm absolutely LOVING this time of my life.
6:09 am
MimiCat

There is something to be said for knowing who you are and being comfortable and happy with that.
6:09 am
bojazz

never been to Ariz - but it's on my bucket list
6:10 am
lbdawger

AZ is hotter than necessary this time of year, but winters are nice if you get tired of shoveling snow
6:10 am
MimiCat

Just don't come in the summer...it's like living in a sauna. I'm trying to buy a house up in the mountains in the Payson area...they have change of seasons there and snow in the winter....love it.
6:10 am
bojazz

need to shovel snow occurs about once every ten years in SC
6:10 am
lbdawger

Mimi, that's wonderful to be writing a book. and you're so right about being comfortable and happy with being who you are.
6:10 am
MimiCat

Yes, dawg, we only have two seasons in Phoenix...heaven and hell. At least there's more heaven time than hell time.
6:11 am
crosshair

good morning everyone:)
6:11 am
MimiCat

6:11 am
crosshair

((mimi))
6:12 am
MimiCat

Crossy...I found the mountain house I want but don't know if I'll be able to qualify...sigh. Will give it my best effort...this place is really perfect. The other one wasn't quite what I wanted but this one seems to be....great views of the mountains and national forest.
6:13 am
lbdawger

I've not been to SC. there are a lot of southern states I haven't visited.
6:13 am
lbdawger

gm, crossy

I love the Carolinas...Virginia is also beautiful. I lived in the Atlanta area for 4 years in the early 70's when it was still growing...it's much too big now.

I am sure you will find the perfect place, mimi. Just do not get in over your head. You want to be comfortable and at peace, not groaning under onerous payments at this stage of your life:)

Atlanta is totally too big...a friend still lives there and says the traffic is horrible. When I lived there it was still quaint. I sang in the original Underground Atlanta and it was so much fun.

The entire Rim area is gorgeous....except when the wildfires hit. But every place has its issues. This house in particular would be ideal, crossy, especially for inspiring my writing. And it has a loft that my cats would love plus I could fix it up for when the grandkids come to visit. Beautiful BIG screened in sunrooms--two of them--as well. I can send you the link if you'd like to see it, crossy.

That's OK, Molly....here..have a bite of cheesecake.

Cheesecake for breakfast? Thank God someone here knows how to eat right. : D

MimiCat

I'm so trying to lose weight, but I've found that every so often if I'm craving something, I must have just a little of it.
7:12 am

Mimi, don't knock yourself out. If you really have thyroid issues, you can diet until you are near starved to death and the weight will not come off.
7:14 am
MimiCat

I have a beautiful site for you guys to go to. Google "Taktsang (Tiger's Nest) Monastery in Bhutan in the Himalayas....this is an amazing place. I can't figure out how they got the building materials up the cliff.
7:15 am

Yes, I know, Molly...very frustrating. Will soon be trying to get that fixed. My cardiologist is also convinced this is hormonal in more ways than just thyroid.

10:29 am
crosshair

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed.”- Terence McKenna

The cataracts are a common problem and I am to go back on 29th July for a test to see how good the retinal circulation is. This explains why all the problems started after that cluster of migraines.
12:30 pm
ChrissieDee

Will they treat the cataracts to stop it getting worse, or is it too soon to say
12:32 pm
jaxx7

he said they were at the haze stage and they would deal with them as and when. he also said he was going to write to my optician to tell her to go on a course for diagnosing retinal scans so she wouldn't frighten anyone else. I bet she will love that!
12:33 pm

6:16 pm

The town your clan originally came from is in Derbyshire. When odl William the Conq had the Domesday book set up few of the Brits had surnames. So they adopted places where they lived, people that they were related to like Smithson, and their jobs like Butcher so William could be sure he had the right person when he ran off with their property
