Lizlin
Italian, I think
12:46 am
Lizlin
Maybe it's called something else in the US
12:47 am

1:01 am

1:01 am
rururocks
more luck smutz
1:02 am

or 'elevator music' in other words.

Hire a 30 year old.. while they still know it all :D
1:05 am

same here ruru -- like most young people he has no concept of what happens when you age
1:05 am
negativeneil
Where did that "\n" come from?
1:05 am
rururocks
he will.. then he will be enlightened later in life
1:05 am
negativeneil
Still? I know a fraction of "it all".
1:05 am

as for me -- I have a very difficult time hearing any music at all in most of the so-called songs that are being produced now
1:06 am

Whaaaatever. :P
1:06 am

oh sure.. you're wise in many ways.. but ...

Oook, nan. You'd probably hate everything I listen to then. :P

aaand I'm saying NOTHING. :P Haha.
1:09 am
rururocks
I like some of the Sinatra stuff.. he had a lot of talent
1:10 am
rururocks
I trend more toward the blues and jazz as a rule.. pop stuff doesn't do much for me
1:11 am
negativeneil
I like Frank Sinatra too.
1:11 am
rururocks
I like the early stones, the beatles, Joe Cocker, Toad the Wet sprocket, Jennifer Hudson, Aretha, Al Green, Bonnie Riatt, Jonny Lang.. etc
1:11 am
cybernan
blues and jazz were once considered pop as well ... as was Beethoven in his day
1:12 am
rururocks
I don't like all of Sinatra's stuff.. but he really had a lot of talent and a great voice
1:12 am
negativeneil
I just meant that you would disagree with "the only new singers I come close to liking are the Frank Sinatra wannabes", ru.
1:12 am

Yeah. I can listen to him any day.

Pretty much.

U2 have some good songs though.
1:14 am
rururocks
they do
1:14 am

and they were impressive at the super bowl
1:14 am
rururocks
Bono is a freak though
1:15 am

I tried to listen to u2 once -- too noisy and no melody
1:15 am
rururocks
I like a couple of their songs
1:15 am

Yeah. Well I've always like them... their older stuff mostly, which my parents had in their collections.
1:16 am

Almost a chicken cordon bleu
4:52 am

Just had a interesting read on setting up barrels to collect and filter rain water for home consumption. Too bad that the powers that be in California have made it illegal in places to collect rain water on your own property, because homeowners out there could go back to old catchment systems like these barrels and cisterns.
5:33 am
crosshair
I see they have changed the neighborhood beautification by-laws out there so you are not charged if you lawn dies.
5:33 am
sukee
Maybe officials will make an exception during the drought?
5:33 am
crosshair
No, it seems the rule was put in place BECAUSE of the drought
5:34 am
sukee
Insane, no one owns the rain.
5:34 am
crosshair
They want the rainwater to go to ground and not be diverted
5:34 am
crosshair
it is odd indeed, but google it. I would challange that one
5:35 am
crosshair
If I lived out there i would most certainly challenge it.
5:36 am

I stand corrected. seems the law is changing minute by minute.

7:17 am
grannyrose
nearly my bedtime, dear. but i had a visit to my vocational guidance counsellor. as i asked him...just what do you expect a critical care nurse to do when she is no longer employed in that capacity?
7:18 am
Aloyisius
oh my, with your skills.. there must be a need.. what was the reply?
7:19 am
grannyrose
aloy... i need to have done 20+ hours of education to maintain my education. which has been impossible. one suggestion was a filing clerk... for heaven's sake !!
7:20 am
grannyrose
sorry.. to maintain my registration.
7:21 am
Aloyisius
no.. that underutilizes your expertise.. can you take courses on line?
7:22 am
grannyrose
aloy, i have 22 months until i can retire on the old-age pension. right now, my fibromyalgia is still uncontrolled, and the nerve pain in my knee is appalling.
7:24 am
grannyrose
i really don't where this company is coming from. if they had stepped in and helped me 8 months ago i would still be employed.
7:24 am
Aloyisius
I'm so sorry you are going through this! I only know one person with fibromyalgia.. she is in her 40's.. for her, she has flare ups, but then long periods of feeling ok..
7:26 am
grannyrose
aloy, i have never had time off from work because of the FM. this time however, the pain from the damaged nerve in my knee is not allowing the FM to die down.
7:26 am
Aloyisius

Wow. Had to wrack brain for Disney movie. Got it though.

Poor Pluto. After years of therapy, he still hasn't figured out whether he is a dog, or a man that looks like a dog.

Judi
Rumor has it that he's a hermaphrodog.
9:54 am
Judi
What? No groans?
9:54 am
josephjames
Well hermaphro- is between genders. Crossing species, you get a chimera...
9:55 am

However, I think Pluto is clearly a dog. It's Goofy that's the confused one.

|I feel like a hero, having gotten a tick out of Rufie after husband and I and handyman couldn't calm him enough. I just did a magician's sleight of hand and voila!
1:05 pm
bichon
I think the rescue group has found a home for my two fosters
1:05 pm
MollyL
Oh here we go. Same song, different verse. *Sigh*
1:05 pm
rubyfoo
that's good news; they sounded difficult
1:05 pm
bichon
That's why I use flea and tick application
1:05 pm
rubyfoo
Hello Molly. Which song is that?
1:05 pm
bichon
They're not difficult, they just aren't housebroken
1:06 pm
rubyfoo
I do, too, so it may have been dead. I couldn't tell, though
1:06 pm
MollyL
The group assault on this board. It's getting so old.
1:07 pm
rubyfoo
I overcame my revulsion to ticks, anything for my Rufe!
1:07 pm
bichon
I worry about Lyme disease in the dogs and us
1:08 pm
rubyfoo
toxoplasmosis here. At least when I get one, I'm not furry and I hold still
1:09 pm
bichon
I thought that was a cat disease
1:11 pm
rubyfoo
I may b e wrong, I thought that my friend's dog got crippled from a tick-borne disease other than Lyme. I've been wrong before (and often)
1:13 pm
bichon
No, it doesn't come from a tick. You should Google it, because it's too disgusting to talk about here
1:13 pm
rubyfoo
I'll look it up later. Thanks
