My son and I were in Tel Aviv for a week for the wedding of my neighbor's son. Now, if I'm going to travel that far, of course I will stop somewhere on the way home. That would be 6 nights in Paris.
5:53 am
melonheadjujube

and. . . I met a fellower Babbler irl in TLV (:
5:53 am
carleekat

sounds fabulous!!!!
5:53 am
carleekat

sweet! babblemeet ups are always a bonus
5:54 am
melonheadjujube

best of all is simply that my son is well enough to make this trip. He is diagnosed with schizophrenia, and the right meds, the right therapy, and superb case management has made a trip that would have been impossible four years ago a reality. He was a wonderful traveling companion.
5:55 am
melonheadjujube

my Babble bud took me to see the Israeli Philharmonic, my dream orchestra!
5:55 am
carleekat

excellent, and fantastic for him as well...
5:56 am
carleekat

that sounds absolutely heavenly. I adore the orchestra.. even mediocre ones.

I cried thre times: when the plane touched down at Ben Gurion airport, at the Pride parade in Paris, and on the plane coming home to think that we did this!

I'm a retired bassist. Even tho I'm from CLE, the IPO and the Met Opera were my two "dream" orchestras. I ended up a second-chair bassist in a pit orchestra here in Cleveland.

i used to play bass as well 7 years. I couldn't continue bc i would need to buy one at the time and could not afford
6:02 am

I only ever played in school but our full orchestra travelled, new york, philiadelphia, boston, dc which was pretty cool for a HS orchestra

6:07 am

I got my two degrees in double bass performance, and made about a third of my living playing when I was active. I trained on the job to be a computer programmer for the US Dept of Defense. I am grateful for my "day job" and also glad that is not what I majored in. I chased my dream, and made a living, one way or another (:

There were people in the chat earlier who were saying that st 6 & 7 reminded them of American Pie and Archie Bunker, and I've been trying to figure out why ever since.

st 6 and 7....to refrain from arguing

Archie Bunker used to tell his wife Edith to st6/27 herself.

He did? I've watched those shows and I don't remember that at all! Interesting, thanks!

There are whole books written just about the vocabulary in those books. "A Sea of Words" is probably the best.
9:54 am

Yes, I have that volume!

nan - i remember when we bought our house...we hadnt even moved in yet, so there was no furniture. the cable company gave us a window over lunchtime for them to come set things up, so there i was with nothing but a folding chair.
i was waiting and waiting...my husband got there with the moving truck + told me the guy was sitting in his work van down the street eating his lunch.
12:24 pm
cybernan

yes - and patience was never something I had a lot of :)
12:25 pm
cybernan

you have a point -- the guy is probably on his coffee break!
12:25 pm
EvaNadine

needless to say, i marched myself down the street and had some words with him. i said that if he couldnt give me the common courtesy of calling me to let me know hed be late (so i could therefore eat MY lunch), then he didnt get to eat his either.
12:26 pm

sadly, I think customer service is a thing of the past - doesn't matter what the company is

if YOU miss the appt, you get charged for it regardless. but they can basically do whatever they want.
nosiree, i dont think so.

good customer service affects the bottom line and the ceo's and coo's wouldn't get their million dollar bonuses

BLERGH.
12:31 pm

car shopping is among the worst I agree
12:32 pm
rbud

can't be blamed for feeling that way, I can so relate. My little truck's been down for at least two months, just getting it to town to be worked on has proven to be an exhausting fruitless effort so far, unless I want to pay a tow service.
12:32 pm
rururocks

the sales people are often on the slimey side
12:32 pm

spent a fair amount of time searching for another vehicle, too, but it's so depressing.
12:33 pm

12:34 pm
rururocks

it's not that much money and it's incredibly useful when needed
12:35 pm
EvaNadine

when i was 6.5 months pregnant, i spent all those hours in a dealership undergoing renovation with no AC. in July.
then, it turns out, the AC in the car they sold me (brand new, BTW) was buggered, so i spent 2 years driving myself + my son in a car with finicky AC.
i finally had enough + bit the bullet to trade it in much earlier than i would have after giving them an earful + them agreeing to give me a VERY good deal on a replacement.
12:36 pm
rbud

about 8 vehicles sitting here, none running or legal, mostly our son's projects. Only running truck I own is hubby's old '71 Chevy, and have been informed it's not safe to drive before some undercarriage work. So there it sits, licensed and insured, and useless. Same story on mine.
12:37 pm
rururocks

Maybe your son could get one of them running so you have something to drive
12:37 pm
rbud

Need to figure out something by the end of the month, when my truck plate expires. If I end up with a car, will need a different plate, of course.
12:39 pm
rbud

yes, we go round and round about that, but mostly I wouldn't trust most of them at this point, something peculiar about every one of them he's trying to sort out, haha. He's a barterer, trades for things he thinks he can fix, then... not so much.
12:40 pm
rbud

plus he considers them "investments" and would expect me to pay something for them, which is okay with me, to an extent, but I'd still rather put that money into my own.
12:41 pm
rururocks

yeah and you should expect to charge him for storing all those wrecks
12:41 pm
rbud

my truck's problems are electrical/computer module things, not his strong point.
12:42 pm
rururocks

then maybe pay for a tow truc
12:42 pm
rururocks

truck
12:43 pm

I'll get it sorted out soon, I hope, but I sure miss the "pull" the old man had and his ability to get stuff done.
12:44 pm
rbud

most all the helpful folks who said, "anything we can do to help" when he passed away last year have gently faded into the woodwork, it seems
12:45 pm
rbud

so it goes.
12:46 pm
rururocks

maybe your son can help you get it towed into the shop?
12:47 pm
carleekat

rbud, I learned long ago when I left my husband; rely on no one but yourself to git'r'done bc everyone is busy with their own life to pick up the pieces.
12:48 pm
rbud

son insists he can get it there no problem, but it seems there's always actually a problem when it comes down to it.
12:50 pm
rbud

I hear that, car, I'm not bitter and feeling helpless, just tired. Every day some new drama here, my problems just fade to the bottom of the list. Like they always have, since I had kids, lol
12:51 pm

not bitter here either... is just a fact of life these days.

You can google it, they put a solution on your skin and let it percolate for about 2 hours, then shine a special light (it's called BLU light) on your skin.

Sorry, I had to catch that last bit of Penn & Teller - I heart them, have since they started. Way, way back. At the Shubert, after their show they met with people in the lobby, just chatting. I'm always one of the very last to leave, soaking it all in. So lobby was pretty empty by time we got there & my date & I had a nice 20 minute conversation with both of them. Not only does Teller talk (duh), he's the sweetest guy - now Penn is 63 or 64 & Teller is 70! Time marches on.
8:01 pm
TraderKate

Wow... I like them too, but have never seen them live. what a time you must have had :) lucky lady!
8:03 pm
helenkeller

I still remember many of the tricks they did, because they explain them. They re-did one recently on their show - it's a great bit, Teller standing in silhouette, lighting a cigarette, then it disappears . . . It's not your average joe magic act - although I like those too.

Hi jane :)
Not really familliar with the short list... is he the best of a bad lot?
8:06 pm
harpjane

Kavanaugh (misspelled a minute ago)
8:09 pm
helenkeller

This is what my concern is, so here goes: In a 2009 law review article, Kavanaugh said his experience in the White House persuaded him that "the job of president is far more difficult than any other civilian position in government" and that presidents should be exempt from civil lawsuits and criminal investigations or prosecutions while in office. But he wrote that such a change would require Congress to pass appropriate legislation.

Even if that happened, he wrote, the Constitution would provide a check against a law breaker in the Oval Office. "If the president does something dastardly, the impeachment process is available," Kavanaugh wrote.
8:09 pm
harpjane

8:10 pm

Well, that is concerning...at the very least, raising the bar on what is considered dastardly?
Hooray for fish jane!

Hello? Looks like I may have missed the chatters
11:13 pm
Jacula

Hi Nef. I'm here if you need clues.
11:15 pm
Nef

Hi Jacula. It seems I rarely finish grids anymore; but it doesn't bother me either anymore.
11:16 pm
Nef

(I just can't understand how there are so many words in such a strange grid!)
11:19 pm
Nef

(I'm currently working on that bottom row R)
11:19 pm
Jacula

I like to finish them Nef, but sometimes don't achieve it.
11:20 pm
Jacula

Let me know if/when you need a clue or the stats.
11:21 pm
Nef

Thank you. I will do that.
How are you doing these days? Is your fellow still on the road so much? (I think I remember he drove trucks?)
11:23 pm
Jacula

Yes, you remember rightly. He's still on the road all week. We're both fine, thanks. How about you? What's been going on in your life since we last spoke?
11:29 pm
Nef

My Dh went through numerous illnesses & hsopitalizations during 2016; so I asked my divorced son & his son to move in with us to help me (he works from home anyway) because when DH fell; I had to call 911 to help me get him up off the floor (he has MS, IDK if you remember that).
11:30 pm
Nef

Now I'm ready to have them move out; but I think we have to move to some sort of senior housing /assisted living place because I can't manage the house, yard, and shoveling snow all the time myself.
11:32 pm
Nef

That's the biggest thing. And my 9 year old (& only) grandson just got his Black Belt in TaeKwonDo last month! < busting my buttons with pride on that!>
11:35 pm
Jacula

Yes, I do remember your O/H was ill. I do feel for you and understand why assisted living might be necessary. It's really hard to get someone up when they fall, especially if they can't really assist you in any way. I remember trying to get my father up the stairs after a late-night call from my Mum. He wasn't a tall or heavy man, but he was a dead weight when his dementia made him not want to help. :(
11:35 pm
Jacula

Well done to your grandson!
11:37 pm
Jacula

Also, Nef, we often take a property on either as a couple who will split the jobs or when we're younger and have the health and the energy to cope. Time can change all of these things. :(
11:38 pm
Nef

My hubby has always weighed around 240- 250 lbs (I think that's around 113 kg); he's always had very muscular legs and body. so when he's a "dead weight"; he's pretty difficult to move!
11:41 pm
Nef

Yeah, you're right. :-( I've had arthritis since I was a teenager & have had several joints fixed or replaced over the years; it's tougher to try to do everything at this point of my life.
11:42 pm
Jacula

I, being old-fashioned, had to convert his weight to stones and pounds. (I don't 'do' kilograms.) 17 and a half stone, almost 18 stone would be impossible to lift. I think my Dad had gone down to about 9 and a half stone when I was trying to lug him up the stairs.
11:44 pm
Jacula

Nef - both me and my other half lament the loss of bodily strength as we get older. We often wish we could go into a body shop and get new parts like cars do.
11:44 pm
Nef

I don't understand stones for weight! It's such a strange way to weigh things!
11:44 pm
Jacula

Nef - 14lbs = 1 stone.
11:45 pm
Jacula

I've lost 9lbs (that's over half a stone) during this hot weather in the UK.
11:46 pm
Nef

LOL, Jacula! You can get new parts for your body; you just can't have all new pieces for all of yuor parts!
I have replacement parts for a foot, a knee, a hip, and both hands now! :-D
11:46 pm
TraderKate

Jacula and Nef!!!! Hello :)
11:48 pm
Nef

You guys are really suffering from the heat, aren't you? Here in the US,we have insulation in most of our houses (which helps in the winter *and* summer, then I was talking to a friend in London & she said that they don't have a/c nor do they have ceiling fans!
11:48 pm
Jacula

We have your POTUS visiting on Friday 13th. Our Queen didn't attend her latest great-grandchild's Christening due to having a busy week, including having to greet him. If she had the choice, I bet I know where she'd rather have been.
11:48 pm
Nef

Hi Kate! How are you?
11:49 pm
Jacula

Hi Kate.
11:49 pm
Nef

Jacula, I read about the Trump baby blimp ballon! I think that that is hilarious!
11:50 pm
Jacula

Nef - no we don't have a/c or ceiling fans as standard here in UK. Don't usually need them! Re new body parts - yes, I have a bungee cord and a pin holding my right collar bone in place after I dislocated it falling backwards down the stairs 3 years ago.
11:51 pm
Nef

Ouch! That wasn't fun I bet!
11:52 pm
TraderKate

Doing well nef. I'll lurk and leave you to catch up with Jackers :)
11:53 pm
Nef

You don't have to lurk, Kate; join in!
11:54 pm
Jacula

Trump blimp - to be honest I don't think flying that is a dignified way to go, though the idea made me laugh. I think it cost 18K, which could be better spent. The Government (what's left of it after yesterday) have demanded a huge police presence for his visit, knowing how many protests there will be. Thing is, they've cut police budgets so much, the police aren't keen to provide it because they feel they might be needed for more important emergencies elsewhere.
11:54 pm
Nef

(we can discuss any topic at all, not just our newer body parts!)
11:55 pm
Jacula

Kate - please stay because I have to go soon.x
11:55 pm
TraderKate

Loz wasn't at Louis' christening? That's a shame :(
Bet she's miffed about that. (I can hear her mumbling "that dreadful man...")
11:56 pm
Jacula

Kate - I bet she's miffed. I would be if I was her.
11:56 pm
Nef

the blimp was crowd-funded (from what I read); And he travels with a huge contingent of Secret Service men too....
11:57 pm
TraderKate

Jacula, the blimp was privately paid for and there was crowd funding to pay for the helium to folat it for the big day. As protests go, i rather like the idea, can be seen by a lot more than little sign ever would. It may be undignified, but hey....look at intended target :)
11:58 pm
Nef

He is such a stupid man; I really think he pulled (& is still pulling!) to wool over so many people's eyes here.
11:58 pm
TraderKate

Well, I see she has managed to make sure htere is NO state dinner... that's her dig. She will give him the politest short shrift and "bum's rush he's ever seen. I do admire her so.
11:59 pm
Nef

Go Queen E! Good One for you!
11:59 pm
TraderKate

Why do youhave to go Jacula? After all, it's morning now ;)
12:00 am
Jacula

Crowd-funded or privately funded, but it could have gone towards helping the homeless (of which there are too many) or towards a much better cause. Any cause other than trying to insult a brain-dead idiot who is so sure he's a hero that he's bombproof re insults of any kind.
