I do. Some I took with a non-phone camera. The very best is of my son with an 85 year old Dutch woman we encountered while climbing up the steps to the second level of the Eiffel tower; she was on her way down. Her hubby declined to join her and was waiting below! She was delightful.

grannyrose
yes sprite. he didn't realise how close i was to next infusion time. he is going to cut me some slack, and pamper me a little until i go in.
1:14 am
sprite
does he also realise that he has no call being such a d*ck to you, no matter the reason? And that leaving without a good goodbye is nasty?
1:14 am
grannyrose
do i have a name for it?? if i did, i would prolly call it a red-back. but sprite calls the additive a spiker.
1:14 am
grannyrose
he does now...
1:14 am
sprite
well done, you, rose! Glad you stood up for yourself to him.
1:15 am
TraderKate
spiker...THAT'S IT!
1:15 am

yeah well, rose, I do understand that. But you also want to have a clean house, and the tax it takes on your body gets bigger, not smaller. So... we really want you to go ahead and get the help, and we will help you manage the lazy feeling then!

sprite, I do laundry once a month at the laundromat. Yeah, I have lots of undies, and give any clothing at least three wearings before tossing it down the chute. It is less stressful than having the washer/dryer at home beckoning to me!

We've had a fly invasion...country living, I guess. Maybe froggie came to eat the flies? LOL!

Kamanjah
Plus another large fire locally - I have no clue, this is the weirdest year here!
2:01 am

LOL, possible... Jacula had a little story of trying to zap a fly today in her house :)
2:02 am
TraderKate
You're always welcome to ask for clues.. or give them Jenny :)
2:03 am
Kamanjah
Zap A fly? I must have smashed 300. My freaking arm is sore. We have a horse, chickens and goats on one side, and about 10 alpacas, 2 sheep, at least one goat, plus dozens of various poultry on the other side. We have a garden, 3 cats, and one dog.
2:05 am
Kamanjah
Haha, I'm getting slap-ahppy here - I just found a phantom non-word. My mom was from Arkansas, and she did the "warsh" on laundry days.
2:05 am
TraderKate
LOL, I see no reason for yu to have flies Kam ;)
That's quite a menagerie you've got to wrangle!
(and you're worried about a frog? but not worried that you don't know how many alpacas you have..) ROFL
2:05 am

Actually, I was thrilled to see the frog!
2:06 am

Not my livestock...
2:06 am
Kamanjah
Neighbors...

Yes!! Do the frog happy dance.. not a lot around here any more - lots of toads, but frogs must be more sensitive to a bad environment... harbingers so to speak

TraderKate
Someone was commenting on the fires today.. here?maybe...are they very close to you?
YOu must go to the jumping contest and take pictures... :D
2:09 am
Kamanjah
But how do I send the flies back to the livestock owners? We have decided we are NOT opening our door, only the screened window. I'd rather pay the electric (eek!) than have flies sneak in. I have NO idea why our traps fill up every 3 days and there are 3 flies in our neighbors traps. I think she feeds her livestock some fly repellent.
2:10 am
TraderKate
what about sonic bug shooer-awayer things aling the fence?
2:11 am
Kamanjah
We had one about 2 miles away a few days ago - 20,000 acres. Today, about 15 miles north, one took off and they had 5 air tankers and at leat 4 helicopters on it. I think they got it knocked down when the wind changed direction back onto the burned area. Hundreds of evacs...
2:12 am
Kamanjah
I will look into the sonic, but it can't affect dogs. I have to dig my bug zapper out of the depths of the garage tomorrow.
2:12 am
TraderKate
Oh that is awful Kam.. and so very close! HOw is your air quality.. and how are the winds?
2:13 am
TraderKate
I don't think the sonic things affect other critter..high frequencies maybe? not sure...
2:13 am

To be honest, I've only been outside long enough to harvest a bit of salad. It is smoky...even inside. I called it a sun brown-out.

TraderKate
fab! If I remember, I will try to crawl your wall a bit.
2:23 am
rbud
Fb makes me mad when I try to find someone's post I saw earlier in the day, so I go to their wall and it insists on showing EVERYTHING I haven't seen yet, sometimes months of stuff. They need a toggle for that, I think.
2:24 am
TraderKate
they do, I have gotten around that by scrolling jsut a few posts, then refresh the page.. it seems to give them all by time posted then.
2:24 am
rbud
hmmm, worth a try next time, thanks.
2:25 am
Kamanjah
FB is a pain with their new way of repeating things and hiding what we *want* to see!
2:26 am
Kamanjah
I'll try that too, Kate. Thanks.
2:26 am
Kamanjah
Kate...you are tagged ;)
2:27 am
TraderKate
they always controlled who or what we saw, but at least before, there were more friends, not just a handful.. and of course, it gets reinforced, because you chat them more because they are first on your wall... and the cycle continues..
2:27 am
Kamanjah
You can go to the photographer's page and see a lot more, if you want to.
2:27 am
TraderKate
So, I'm it! :D
Tomorrow Kam...
2:28 am
Kamanjah
Yeah, what's with this mixing things up over there? I don't even see my grandkids posts for days.
2:28 am
TraderKate
I don't want to see pics of cute critters rinning from the flames.. I am too much of a softie for that...
2:29 am
TraderKate
and every once in a while, they throw a friend at you that you haven't seen in your feed in forever!
2:29 am
Kamanjah
No, not that kind of photography - he's the official CalFire photographer. He tells the story. But he won't post homes burning out of respect.
2:30 am
Kamanjah
People are so great here - the pilots who saved homes were id'd and people bought photos for the pilots. The unsung heroes in the sky!
2:30 am
TraderKate
Oh, that's okay then.. but truly, I find the numbers mind-boggling... 20K acres....and that's a small one :(
2:32 am
TraderKate
That's nice! Have a huge amount of respect for those guys - it is so damned dangerous.. wind can shift so quickly... geez.
2:32 am
Kamanjah
2015 was the fire that tore our county apart. Also burned hubby's house...we haven't even tried to start rebuilding, just trying to clear the property for camping so far.
2:33 am
TraderKate
You'll have to tell me about that to, if you're up to it.
I am fading fast, and getting a rotten headache, I should lay off hte chat and have a quick bite to eat.
2:34 am
Kamanjah
It takes an experienced pilot two plus years as a "rookie" tanker pilot to even be allowed to fly by themselves on fire drops
2:35 am
Kamanjah
Eat! That could knock the headache out. Rest well, my friend!
2:37 am
TraderKate
They've gotten years of experience after last year. I hope they went over what they did after the fact as an exercise in what to do/not do and all that can happen. Valuable lessons may have been ;earned.
2:39 am
Kamanjah
There was a new tanker pilot (years of flying experience) in the plane in the photo I posted...I'll have to link you to the stories, pretty cool to hear how calm they stay through harrowing conditions.
2:41 am
Kamanjah
Check out any CalFire page on FB or twitter - they're broken down into units too. The past few years have gotten them so on top of organization and quick response! Amazing crews!
2:42 am
TraderKate
I look forward to reading abut all this. Call it morbid fascination :/
2:44 am
Kamanjah
It is morbid, but fascinating. Frightening events draw attention even when you *don't* want to know.
2:44 am
Kamanjah
Human nature, eh?
2:44 am
TraderKate
well, I will have to wait and see if I canread it or not... maybe just look at a few pics.
2:45 am
TraderKate
ya, I was interested in lots of "ooky" stuff - especially when I was younger. It was kind of a detatched curiosity.
2:47 am
Kamanjah
It's different if it's practically in your own backyard instead of 3000 miles+ away.
2:49 am
TraderKate
yes.. Even the fires we have closer to home - like NOrthern Ontario..seem like a million miloes removed.. and BC had their share of nasty fires last year too... I am hoping htey are better off after the long snowy winter they had (and very late snow then plenty of rain..)
2:49 am
Kamanjah
BC had horrid fires last year, hope no repeats this year when things dry out.
2:51 am
TraderKate
Ya, I havve a lot of friends out that way, and in Alberta too... Fingers crossed!
3:03 am
TraderKate
Did you need any clues? Need to have a bite and check sudoku for a minute.
3:04 am
Kamanjah
Go eat, I haven't been here long enough to ask for clues yet
3:05 am
TraderKate
ok. back in a bit...
3:06 am
Kamanjah

Heres a lovely thing - last year I stopped on my way home from work and pilfered this pretty purple plant that was growing in an abandoned lot. There were lots of them, and I only took two. They have flourished in my yard, and are now two large, bushy type plants of purple flowers on tall spikes. Turns out they are goldfinches favorite food! As I type, there are SIX goldfinches, and their wives, enjoying a lively breakfast gathering.
7:20 am
MLFAN17
that's so cool trif
7:20 am
bichon
what is the name of this plant?
7:20 am
carleekat
lovely trifs...I have 2 back thumbs and am failing horribly withmy mum's gardens.. I have lots of just DIRT now :(
7:20 am
Trifioso
absolutely NO idea bichon
7:20 am
Trifioso
I call it the "vacant lot" plant.
7:21 am
Trifioso
I will try to find out though - I really should
7:21 am
bichon
I really need that plant
7:22 am
Trifioso
I'll get back to you
7:22 am
MLFAN17
i have been wanting hubby to buy some crepe myrtle they are so beautiful
7:22 am
Trifioso
If I go out now to take a pic I will scare them all away....
7:22 am
Jacula
Trif - It's probably Liatris Spicata. If you look it up, you can see what it looks like and compare.
7:22 am
bichon
You could take a picture and send it to me Maybe I can send it to the state agricultural extension
7:23 am
welki
'morning, folks - could be hyssop
7:23 am
carleekat
there are plant identification apps.. plant snap is one. you take a picture and submit and the app spits out suggested ID's based on your photo
7:23 am
bichon
I could get that plant
7:24 am
Jacula
Trif - it's also known as prairie gay feather and dense blazing star, if that's your plant. It's a member of the daisy/sunflower family.
7:25 am
Trifioso
please hold.....
7:26 am
welki
*drum roll*
7:29 am
Trifioso
okay, it's my profile pic now.
7:29 am
Trifioso
I tried plant snap, Carlee, and it could not find it. I really have not had very good luck with that app, tbh
7:30 am
welki
i can't really tell from the pic - maybe blue bells?
7:30 am
carleekat
ok. I havenot used it, iknow someone who does.
7:30 am
Trifioso
the goldfinches basically gave me the finger as they flew away, but …..priorities
7:31 am
Trifioso
its taller than blue bells, welki. Spikes are about 18" tall, bushy plant
7:31 am
msr
Try looking up Mexican petunias. They are purple flowers on tall stalks.
7:31 am
Trifioso
I think it might be either hyssop or beardtongue
7:32 am
carleekat
what about this trifs PENSTEMON HETEROPHYLLUS
7:32 am
welki
i suggested hyssop, but the flowers are completely different
7:32 am

If you right click your image and then click
"search Google for image" you will find it

7:36 am
Trifioso
I took the photo with my phone, so no right clicking, I am afraid
7:36 am
Trifioso
I'm thinking it's a beardtongue of some sort, which is the common name of the penstemon Carlee found
7:38 am
Trifioso
bichon, I can mail you some if you like
7:39 am

carlee I have dry eyes too but I catn put in the damn eyedrops I know the that the eyedrops I have if you use the too often your eyes will get red and then you have to see an eye doctor . my head is also hurting because of dry eyes. Being on computer or watching tv doesn't help.

I'm enjoying it. I'm a stranger to a cardigan these days.
8:32 am
Haz1558
The place is starting to look rather less green than usual, though.
8:33 am
Haz1558
It does help to compensate for the horrible winter, doesn't it?
8:34 am
Soodle
Me too. Painful to be stuck indoors at work though. My lawns haven't been cut in almost 3 weeks. Normally they would look like Jurassic Park after that length of time, but now they're just yelloish.
8:35 am
carleekat
Soods, they likely stayed green longer bc you didn'tmow ;)
8:35 am
Haz1558
I'm fortunate enough to be able to be out and about during the day - the dog was definitely not enjoying the warmest days!
8:35 am

But there's not much growth with the grass, you're right.

im so behind with my gardens it's not even funny

good morning everyone :)
9:03 am
cybernan
has anyone purchased a new car lately --- what an eye opener - have recounted our experience in my profile :)
9:04 am
kje
not yet, though we are planning to
9:04 am
cybernan
have a look at my profile, then
9:06 am
kje
yep, not expecting a fun experience ; )
9:07 am
kje
we are looking at a subaru crosstrek or a honda hrv maybe... something to replace two vehicles (my sedan and his SUV)
9:08 am
cybernan
we are trying to decide between the CRV and RAV4
9:09 am
kje
the rav4 looks good too... we want smaller though and the rav4 seems to grow every year
9:09 am
cybernan
Looked at the HRV and C-MAX, but neither are wide enough to accomodate the golf clubs across the back
9:10 am
cybernan
Funny thing about the RAV4 -- the driver's seat is narrower than the front passenger seat and neither are as comfortable as the honda seats
9:11 am
kje
ours will be commuting (not far) + hiking gear
9:11 am
Mary
I just bought a new CRV in June with navigation system and I love it. and the trunk part is quite large, the rear seats even go down.
9:12 am
cybernan
we have a ford escape as well, but it is getting on in years and we are not so comfortable taking it on long trips any more -- still a good car for around town though
9:12 am
kje
I like honda better than toyota in general re the comfort thing
9:12 am
cybernan
yes -- me too -- but all that stuff I don't want just to get GPS!
9:13 am
cybernan
and you have to take leather seats in all but the most basic model.
9:13 am
cybernan
don't have it yet
9:13 am
kje
so get a separate gps system p they are cheap enough now
9:14 am
Haz1558
ca6/33 - feline / family
9:15 am
cybernan
we have had one of those --- they get out of date very quickly and the maps are not updated very often. Also no voice interaction with those.
9:15 am

You're welcome.
9:15 am

was monkeying caw+
9:15 am
kje
and fw for me
9:16 am
cybernan
grats, kje
9:16 am
kje
my current vehicles do not have gps, we use our phones, so I'm out of date anyway ; )
9:16 am
kje
our cars are 10+ years old (mine 2007, his 2006)
9:17 am
cybernan
we don't have smart phones, and really don't want them
9:18 am
kje
I "need" one anyway - major communication device for work, and peripheral brain now with all the medical apps that used to be in pocketbook forms... too convenient
9:19 am
kje
plus, we have gps on there we use while hiking also, so more convenient for us than the car ones. But I know lots of people who just don't need/use all that so it isn't worth it
9:21 am
kje
mary - did you drive the hrv - curious your thoughts re HRV vs CRV
9:23 am
cybernan
only drove the CRV here -- handled really well - love all the safety features included.
9:24 am
cybernan
I think they are especalliy good for those of us in our senior years with slower reaction time than we used to have.
9:25 am
kje
hows that, cyber?
9:25 am
carleekat
whew.. found a link in arabic to watch England V Sweden
9:26 am
kje
is it the crv that has that side view when backing out? - we would love that as we back out of a garage onto a sidewalk
9:26 am
kje
and walkers here will not give way just because you are backing out and cannot see them : /

Why not back into the garage Kje? then you would have no trouble.
9:27 am
cybernan
they have sensors that automatically brake when the car ahead of you slows down and will even do a hard break if an animal jumps out in front of you or another vehicle starts heading for you.
9:27 am

No, did not drive the HRV. I did have a 2013 HRV which I gave to my grandson and just got the 2018. I loved the old one but the new one has a lot of new features. The reason I love the CRV is that it's real easy to get in and out of it.
9:27 am
kje
it is a major street, they frown on that, holds up traffic
9:27 am
cybernan
yes there are back up sensors and a back up camera as well
9:27 am
carleekat
( and walkers WILL be more apt to make way when pulling out bc you make eye contact )
9:28 am
carleekat
it is a legal maneuver... you are entitled to do so if is done safely
9:28 am
kje
I wonder - interestingly, no one here backs into their garages, so I'll check the rules
9:29 am
kje
thanks mary - we'll likely drive both, but I want to stay smaller given parking space limitations. It is quite a bit shorter, actually only a cm longer than my sedan (a small car)
9:30 am
cybernan
my apologies, Mary - didn't see you come into the chat --- agree with your assessment of the CRV and will probably go that route --- just resent having to may ten thousand more to get GPS and not being able to have cloth seats.
9:30 am
carleekat
most people don't but is far safer... it is easier to pull in but backing out is always a bitch. i back in and then pull out.. to get into your vehicle you basically "have" to do a walk around and you are less apt to "back over" a bike, a kid etc...
9:31 am
kje
ok, off to work for me... my team awaits
9:33 am
Mary
I've always pulled in and backed out. I also like the leather seats since we keep out cars longer now and the cloth seats seem to get dirtier. Also love the back-up feature which shows whats behind you and when you're backing into a spot shows you when to stop
9:37 am
carleekat
i have never had that feature...
9:39 am

:-) I never know when I will have time to sit and log in right now -- it's summer vacation, but since I am not ill, there are so many things to get caught up on! :-D I already made more progress this summer than in the three previous combined (feels goooood)
9:05 pm
TraderKate
Is this the R&R portion of your evening Stiddie?
bbs - kitchen stuff to tend to
9:05 pm
helenkeller
Thanks all. Anyone need a clue? Here's a clue I could have used - there are 2 n's in a row, used that for one word, forgot all about it. It's good to see ALL the letters. :)
9:07 pm

It has been five since the fire, four since we moved into the house. Some days it feels a lot longer, some days it feels still new and raw. Mostly now it's good. And I am seeing the gardens come back now that we are here again.

9:10 pm
helenkeller
Stiddy - I'm glad it's good now, I remember that time. I remember mostly your gratitude that everyone was okay, no one was harmed.
9:11 pm
stidmama
ditto to you, dear Bugs-type! How is the crop of deer this year up your way? Our deer have eaten all but a few of the plums (and they weren't ripe yet), so I don't think I'll be able to make jam this year.
9:11 pm
harpjane
N's nonsensed!
9:12 pm
Bugsaw
I only plant what the deer won't eat because I can't stand fences. My garden never looks very pretty because of the limited choices of plants.
9:12 pm
stidmama
go harp go!
9:12 pm

harp is on a roll

Really, doesn't anyone want a clue?

9:14 pm

stiddy - I was very impressed by how calm you seemed, grateful and calm. At least you can across as calm at first & then I remember 'the choices' - so many choices to make.
9:15 pm
helenkeller
Ya think so TK, because that way I can delay that Sudoku puzzle a little longer.
9:15 pm

Glad to see yu are able to make progress Stid. Just don't overdo it and remember some of yur "good days" should be stricly for smelling roses.. dusty old boxes will wait patiently until you are ready to deal with them!

9:40 pm
TraderKate
WA 5/;30

and WA 8/90 is a comparative ending for the WA 5/30 (root word)
9:41 pm
mkg

9:41 pm
TraderKate
WA 6/54 follows that list with the adj form of the WA 5 root word
9:42 pm
TraderKate
the TH one?
9:42 pm
mkg
neither th or wa. but they are sixes not 8s. so not sure if i am confused for some reason.
9:43 pm
TraderKate
if you do the WA string first, just tack on the front of the words!
9:43 pm
mkg
got the th 6 but not a six.
9:43 pm
TraderKate
Just easier to clue from the starts of a 4 word combo...
9:44 pm

9:59 pm

And add another vowel to the middle for the or6/7 combo.
10:00 pm
helenkeller

How are you enjoying the summer so far wht?
10:08 pm
wht
I am enjoying it better now that it has cooled off. Last week was pretty hot.
10:11 pm
TraderKate
It was unseasonably "brutal"... out nights have cooled as well. so sleep is good. Days are going to ne numping up against 30 for the next couple weeks!
10:11 pm
TraderKate
Dis you have a good old-fashioned 4th of July barbecue?
10:13 pm
wht
We had a picnic with our son, his wife, and our two year old granddaughter.
10:14 pm
TraderKate
That sounds like an ideal way to pass the day! Picnics are so much fun!
10:14 pm
wht
Then in the evening we went into Boston to listen to the Pops concert and watch the fireworks.
10:15 pm
TraderKate
Wow! I see the Pops concert on PBS some years, it must be such a joy to experience it in person!
10:17 pm
wht
We don't get the full experience because we watch from the Cambridge side of the Charles River. They have speakers set up so you can hear the concert and we are right by the firworks barge.
10:20 pm
wht
When we were much younger, my wife and I went in early and were able to get seats inside the oval where we could actually see the concert.
10:22 pm
wht
Well the Red Sox game finally ended. Time for me to head to bed. Good night all.
10:22 pm
TraderKate
That sounds even better to me - less crowd and more fireworks. Pops sound good, but you don't really need to see them - it's not like watching André Rieu
;)
10:23 pm
TraderKate
Good night wht, I hope the Sox won. :)
Glad you popped in to chat!
10:24 pm
wht
Yes they won. The final score was 15-4. It was close early but it was not a nail-biter by the end.
10:25 pm
TraderKate
Oh my goodness! They trounced them...ot sure who them is.. ;)
10:26 pm

Glad it was KC ;)
