Just hope they stay onthe euro -- makes things so much easier for tourists

cybernan

* or maybe both
12:42 am
rururocks

I'm not up on what is going on.. but it sure sounds worrysome
12:42 am
rururocks

worrisome
12:44 am
cybernan

I gather most of the populace has elevated tax evasion to fine art and the government has been trying to run with nowhere near enough resources for far too long
12:44 am
rururocks

ah.. I should read up on it
12:45 am
cybernan

1:06 am
Trifioso

hello ruru...just in from a FABULOUS night - a local dance place did a retro disco sort of night - people were all dressed up with some really good disco era outfits, big fro wigs, and all.....it was so fun
1:06 am
Trifioso

and yes, valentine was there :)
1:07 am
Trifioso

disco is not my favorite era - by far - but for one night it was fun to do it up
1:07 am
rururocks

I didn't care for disco either
1:08 am
Trifioso

funny how a good 30 years or so of remove can make the heart grow fonder
1:09 am
Trifioso

the DJ did a really good job - some great old funky favorites that everyone loves to dance to thrown in, not too much "disco" disco
1:10 am
Trifioso

and when I got home, secondo had arrived back from Vermont, with her college beau in tow, who I had not met yet - very, very nice guy!!!
1:10 am
rururocks

If i never hear a donna summer song again...that will be too soon
1:11 am
rururocks

1:11 am
Trifioso

1:11 am
Trifioso

I was quite nervous, actually
1:12 am
rururocks

1:12 am
Trifioso

3:01 am

well I don't know, cannot seem to find it. People who become unemployed through no fault of their own get a temporary benefit, provided they hunt actively for jobs. And people with serious handicaps that make them unemployable get an invalidity benefit.

Yes they did it on tortoise because there are some right maroons here 'threatening' to allow development which will jeapodize the Great Barrier Reef - but it will be good for the economy (!)

hurshy, I just watched the video...just amazing
7:24 am
hurshy

there are various versions of the vid, the first i saw was only 30 seconds, but then the longer versions have less relaxing parts. so this is how much i love that video - i downloaded the longer on, downloaded an app that let me edit it in quicktime, cut it to the 1.5 mins of relaxing part, and have it running on a loop to the side of my babble window.

increase in water temps can bleach.. I imagine a lot of corals around the world maybe being effected. But in our case there is a proposal for Adani (in Indian company with an extremely bad reputation) to mine and export coal from nearby the reef. Much protest here and worldwide.

7:37 am

The Web is a wonderful thing - at least everyone pretty quickly knows what is going on and can protest loud and clear. There is even a party of the traditional landowners traipsing around the world to all the financial institutions and like to protest. Our federal government appears to be staying well away from getting involved. This is a State decision - Queensland

Crap. No help there. Big debate at a neighborhood get together last night. My group said only old geezers call them swimming trunks.

Nah. I suppose I've also heard them called board shorts or swim shorts.

I'm so conflicted about soda bread. I make it every St. Patrick's Day. And I know I'm supposed to like it. But unless it's drowned in honey and butter, it's not my thing.

Soda bread was invented by the angels, Molly. Slathered with Kerrygold butter, there's no more comforting food on Earth.

My Irish grandmother's recipe calls for golden raisins.

I'm not conflicted at all about tea. I hate it. It tastes like warm piss. (All my Irish ancestors can roll over now)
3:04 pm
Soodle

Soda bread does not have currants. Curranty bread has currants. Molly - Raisins??? Really???
3:05 pm

having not been a connoisseur of piss.. I'll have to take your word for it Molly

Correction: I can't drink hot tea because it smells like warm piss. Never had the occasion to drink piss.
3:07 pm
MollyL

No baking soda in my Grandmother's soda bread either. Sour cream. It's the best version of soda bread I've had, but I still don't get the fascination.
3:09 pm
Soodle

Buttermilk is the essential ingredient in Soda bread, Molls.
3:10 pm

I've got an old recipe from Fleischmann that calls for caraway seed, baking soda, buttermilk, and dark seedless raisins. (and yeast, of course)
3:14 pm

Caraway seeds...blech
3:14 pm
MollyL

And no yeast in soda bread, It is a non-yeast bread.

(sorry, got called away). Since the recipe I have is from Fleischmann's YEAST, it would include yeast. I think I have another old recipe that's more traditional.
3:35 pm
Soodle

My Grandmother made the best soda bread. Weighing scales were unheard of in her day - it was a handful of this, a splash of that, a pinch of the other. Her soda bread was to die for.
3:36 pm
MollyL

Those are the best recipes. I can bake pretty well and I have never used a "weighing scale".
3:37 pm
java2

I've "got" my grandmother's recipe for home-made noodles: one egg and a half egg-shell of flour. Soodle, do you have her recipe?
3:42 pm
Soodle

You're kidding, right, Java? Until the turn of the century (20th to 21st) - meals here consisted of potatoes, meat & 2 veg! Noodles were unheard of.
3:42 pm
MollyL

I think she meant your grandmother's recipe for soda bread
3:43 pm
Soodle

To this day, my Dad refers to Spaghetti Bolognese as Spaghetti Bollock Naked!

(sorry; I'm back and forth trying to make dinner reservations)
3:45 pm
Soodle

Oops! Sorry! I don't think Grandma even used half egg shells as a measure. It was just what fitted into her hand.
3:49 pm
Soodle

Sorry if this sounds corny, but as a child, I used to go out to her yard & collect new-laid eggs, take them into the farnhouse kitchen, where she would boil them & serve them up with soda bread & a big dollop of butter. Far from internet & Babble & worries, those days. I'm smiling to myself as I remember them.
3:50 pm
MollyL

I am in such awe of the women we get our recipes from. They were the trail blazers who tried and failed and tried again until they got it right.

And these were women without washing machines, driers or microwaves, Molly. Incredible, really.
3:53 pm

It is incredible. I have the utmost respect for the women who came before me.
3:54 pm
Soodle

There was an old cock-a-doodle-doo in my Grandma's yard Ru, who used to strut about with all the hens clucking about him!!! Only saying..... Lol :-)
3:55 pm
MollyL

And then, after the exhausting day of washing clothes by hand, hanging them out to dry and feeding a family on a wood burning stove, those women were expected to be all ready to service their husbands.

I knew only one of my grandmothers, and she was a talented seamstress. My mom told the story of wanting a particular suit for Easter one year. It was a "walking suit" and had a fur collar. My grandma went to the store where it was on display, looked it over, and went home to make a duplicate. My mom even got the fur for the collar some place and grandma attached that, too. I can sew, but only with patterns.

"Away with the fairies" - that sounds better than "Alzheimers".

4:23 pm

She was of the Victorian era where children were seen and not heard.
4:23 pm

Yup. And they still give their grandparents hugs in public - in front of their friends. They are wonderful kids.
4:24 pm
java2

People who believed that about children missed out on so much joy and laughter.
4:25 pm
Soodle

That's a pity, Jaxx. My grandmother was a big, soft, beautiful woman. She was the ideal 'Grandma'. I still miss her.
4:25 pm
jaxx7

It was just how it was then. My grandmother was very much the matriarch and we all did what she told us. No hugs in public there
4:27 pm
Soodle

Well, Java, 14 yr old lads wouldn't be hugging grandparents in public unless they loved them very very much. Huge compliment to you! :-)
4:27 pm
jaxx7

Very true, soodle.
4:28 pm
java2

Pity. The picture I have of my other grandmother (the one who died 4 months before I was born) shows a woman who did not have a joyful life. Down-turned mouth, mean expression over all. And she died by her own hand, so I think she was pretty miserable.
4:29 pm

Story noted. I only learned of that suicide just before my mom died. She casually mentioned it one day. Blew me away.
4:35 pm
MollyL

Wow, I can't imagine "casually" mentioning suicide.
4:35 pm
java2

Jaxx, Methinks there are many family stories like that in most of our histories. People didn't talk about those sorts of things and kept secrets way more than we do now (where everything is posted on social media).
4:36 pm
jaxx7

Have you ever tried to find your ancestors, java? I find it totally fascinating. Don't just stick to the pedigree line but explore the family. Thai is where you find the black sheep.
4:36 pm
java2

We were talking about the year I was born and she said "well, that was when your grandmother committed suicide". And I was stunned.
4:36 pm

My Dad's eyesight is failing, so I downloaded a few of his favourite books to read to him. I read 'A First Confession' to him this afternoon, the Nursing Home staff thought he was after having a heart attack when they heard the chortling coming from his room.

4:38 pm

My niece-in-law has done considerable research into our ancestors. She discovered one who came over here on the Mayflower as an indentured servant. My plan is to write a narrative around that, but first I have to research what it was like to be an indentured servant in the 1600's.
4:39 pm
MimiCat

Only here for a minute as am still sick but had to comment. I was lucky to be raised by my paternal grandmother and her 4th husband and was treated like a princess by both. I wish I had gotten to know her better but she died when I was 21 and too young to ask the questions I would ask today. I do know she was both in 1897, married 4 times, ran a boarding house, drove a taxicab and bootlegged on the Ohio River. Women just didn't do those things back then but she DID. Also, her 4th husband was 20 years younger than her. Quite a woman.
4:39 pm

Molly, yes there is. And I think it has something to do with restraint and privacy.

Thanks, java. Very unique women on both sides of my family so I can't help being a little odd myself! I also know my great-great-grandmother on the maternal side had a baby 10 yrs. after her husband died and swore it was the longest pregnancy in history....we don't know who the father was.
4:42 pm
jaxx7

See, it's catching
4:42 pm
MimiCat

Yes, jaxx, her story is included in my book as well as many other stories of relatives. That's why it's taking so long to write it....LOTS of material.
4:43 pm
Soodle

Gosh - Ladies ..... I'd say that each of our forebears have stories worth telling.
4:43 pm

Not really. For Soodle it's just that second bottle of wine being cracked open. : D
4:43 pm

Oh, Mimi, I love it! And we think all those people were so pure and not like people are today...
4:43 pm

Make it into a trilogy.
4:43 pm

Write it all down. Future generations will thank you for it.
4:44 pm
Soodle

Make it into a 10 part trilogy!!!
4:44 pm
MimiCat

My grandchildren will certainly know who I am and was as it will all be documented. I plan to be the cool granny, too!
4:44 pm
jaxx7

I suspect the reverse is true as life was so hard that folks did what they had to do.
4:45 pm
java2

Wonderful! Carry on that tradition.
4:45 pm
jaxx7

Mimi, get it archived somewhere so genealogy fans like me will be able to read it.
4:46 pm
java2

Yes, Jaxx, and they took comfort where and when they could.
4:47 pm
Soodle

I would like to propose a toast to the Mothers, the Grandmothers & the Great Grandmothers of all Babblers. Bless you, one & all! Clink!!
4:47 pm
MimiCat

Unfortunately, my biological father (I was raised with him as my brother) had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Very thankful my daddy raised me instead as he just adored me even though we weren't biologically related. I had an angel on my shoulder to be rescued from my bio parents. Part of the problem was I didn't even know I was related to my mother/grandmother until after she died. Actually, I am my own sister and my own aunt.
4:47 pm
java2

Don't we all do what we have to do? It varies from age to age and changes with what's available in terms of advantages, CLINK!

I have a friend whose grandmother walked from Russia to America after the Russian revolution. her daughter was one of the first pioneers and built a turf (sod) house so she didn't lose the land she had been granted. She sent letters home and he has every one of them. A fantastic archive. The irony is that the next generation are not interested.
4:49 pm
MimiCat

Fabulous, jaxx. I'm constantly amazed by all the stories of courageous, gutsy women who pioneered that "turf" for the rest of us.
4:50 pm
java2

I also have a friend who's parents walked from Estonia across Europe because of WWII. She was born somewhere along the way. They all wound up in NYC, though.
4:50 pm
Soodle

Nope, Molly. Still on #1. But the night is young. :-p
4:50 pm
jaxx7

I am trying to get him to get the manuscript archived as it is so rare for such a thing to survive. Your story would come under the same heading.
4:51 pm
MimiCat

Great discussion but I"m fading fast so leaving now. Still really ill and no one seems to know why yet. Anyway, must lie down. Have a great night, everyone! Hugs.
4:51 pm
java2

I know I wasn't all that interested until I reached a "certain" age. I think it had to do with having children and then grandchildren and realizing the lineage from which we all came. And what will come.
4:52 pm
java2

Be well, Mimi - sleep is good.
4:52 pm
jaxx7

Look after yourself, Mimi. You have a book to write. Seriously, take care. Sleep well
4:53 pm

Finally made the dinner reservation, so I must be off, too. This has been a wonderful conversation (well, two or more, actually). Tomorrow, perhaps. Bye

9:46 pm

the basement is my new home. It's too hot to walk to the beach, a five minute stroll. We are just not used to it. Neither are the plants or animals. We had three major crops - strawberries, raspberries and blueberries - matute 4 - 6 weeks early and all at once! I am terrified, living in the woods, of fire.
9:47 pm
stidmama

we are also too far ahead in crops, saanich. I completely missed the strawberry harvest. So no frozen or canned strawberries. Hoping to catch the raspberries this next week, and grab a few baskets of cherries for later, too.
