8:28 am

governess

ah a bunny

8:29 am

Scrabbler

*wiggling my nose and turning my ea4*

8:29 am

governess

i had two bunnies as a child

8:29 am

Scrabbler

*doing a curtsy for governess*

8:30 am

Scrabbler

I just gave my girls their salads. They will eat a bit and then laze around allday.

8:30 am

governess

tiffany and kitty, two grey feisty bunnies

8:31 am

Scrabbler

My girls are feisty. Phoebe & Fiona.

8:32 am

governess

by feisty i mean they weren't really tame. my dads idea was to buy two adult rabbits at a flea market. it didn't work out so well. they had to live in an outdoor enclosure.

8:32 am

governess

but shrek is a good movie

8:33 am

Scrabbler

My girls are sisters and are bonded, but they are very wary of me. I cannot pet or hold them, except when I catch them to trim their nails.

8:33 am

Scrabbler

Shrek is hilarious.

8:33 am

governess

they are named for the movie correct?

8:34 am

Scrabbler

I liked the names.

8:35 am

governess

oops, i guessed wrong then

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Girl names for my bunnies have always been much tougher to choose than boy names.

8:37 am

governess

i enjoy naming critters

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Me too. It is very important.

8:38 am

governess

i try to be as creative as horse names

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Horse names, like the racing horses, are interesting.

8:39 am

governess

exactly. they can't speak, their name should tell a story

8:44 am

Scrabbler

What part of the US do you live in?

8:44 am

Wendrie

We've just got three kittens - naming them has been great fun

8:45 am

governess

the great state of west virginia, wild and wonderful. you?

8:45 am

governess

their names wendrie?

8:45 am

Scrabbler

*squeal* Smooch them for me, Wendrie.

8:45 am

Wendrie

Samiakki (black liquorice - sweet with claws)

8:46 am

Wendrie

Griselda - grey warrior/battle maiden

8:46 am

Wendrie

Jasper - grey spotted/striped precious stone

8:46 am

governess

proper names!

8:46 am

Wendrie

* Salmiakki

8:46 am

governess

ope, my presence is requested

8:47 am

72 Temple Owl

Good morning...kittens!

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Governess, I visited Harpers Ferry after an AT hike in Shenandoah NP.

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Hi Owl

8:47 am

Wendrie

kittens make everything fun :)

8:47 am

72 Temple Owl

Hi scrabs

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Yes! I think about getting a kitten to raise with my rabbits. But maybe it wouldn't go well.

8:48 am

72 Temple Owl

And THREE!

8:48 am

72 Temple Owl

Such mischief!

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

Not sure about bunnies but kittens are like babies. They get into everything; house must be clotted proofed

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

Kitten proofed. On phone, autocorrect

8:53 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I have been bunny-proofing since 1990.

8:53 am

governess

harpers ferry, practically virginia.

8:54 am

governess

i think if the kitten grew up the with rabbits it would probably work fine.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

And practically Maryland. What a beautiful confluence of rivers and states. I walked across the bridge to MAryland.

8:54 am

72 Temple Owl

I agree

8:54 am

Scrabbler

I think so too, but someday I need to be pet-less so I can easily travel more.

8:55 am

governess

this has been our thinking. of course then a pandemic struck and we didn't travel anyway.

8:55 am

Scrabbler

Yes.

8:55 am

bichon

That's why we're not getting another do after he dies

8:56 am

72 Temple Owl

Same here. Back when we had neighbors with cats who could Watch them. No longer.

8:57 am

72 Temple Owl

Later, all, happy babbling.

8:57 am

governess

yes. our dog neighbor moved out. and our cat neighbor is nice but i can't let anything go live in a hoard

8:57 am

governess

have a good one 72

8:59 am

Scrabbler

Bye Owl

9:04 am

10:37 am

hokie carla

10:40 am

dan2bit

10:41 am

oh, I'm still seeing the old one. they're both nice

10:43 am

hokie carla

10:44 am

MollyL

Thanks Hursh. I like photographs where the sun or moon is making a pathway on the water.

10:44 am

rururocks

I guess you enjoy being reflective molly?

10:45 am

hurshy

remember when Laura and Carrie were sliding on the moon path on the ice and met that big wolf?

10:47 am

hokie carla

I'm assuming that was in the books and I don't remember it

10:47 am

hurshy

yes, in the book By the Shores of Silver Lake

10:48 am

hokie carla

I did read the books but that was probably c. 1983

10:48 am

hokie carla

I do recall that title

10:48 am

hurshy

i've read them so many times, i did not keep count tho

10:49 am

hurshy

that was how i first started reading chapter books on my own. i was 6, and my mom read them to me. as soon as we finished i wanted her to start again at the beginning, and she said no, if you want to read them again you must read them yourself

10:52 am

hokie carla

there was another author with similar books but I can't remember who or what

10:54 am

hurshy

similar in what way? like "pioneer" life?

10:54 am

hokie carla

yes

10:56 am

cybernan

10:59 am

cybernan

no

10:59 am

hokie carla

dot?

11:00 am

hurshy

*is glad she did not mention it when her name was in the grid not long ago*

11:00 am

cybernan

let's put it this way -- I have never met anyone else with the same name.

11:00 am

hokie carla

lol

11:00 am

hokie carla

I'll let y'all know when my real name is in the grid

11:00 am

cybernan

your real name isn't carla?

11:01 am

LeslieAnn

your real name isn't cybernan?

11:01 am

hokie carla

well, I was trying to be stealthy, nan

11:01 am

cybernan

lol

11:02 am

rururocks

carla is actually a nice name I think

11:02 am

cybernan

yes it is - also a pretty name

11:03 am

hokie carla

have only met one or two. I never really liked it.

11:04 am

hokie carla

and literally every dr. office, etc, where someone doesn't know me, they always say Clara. I didn't know there were that many dyslexic people in the country, but it's true. and Clara to me is an 80 yo.

11:04 am

rururocks

I'm named after a Saint.. so I'm cool with that

11:04 am

cybernan

I really wanted my internet name to be cybernana, (grands call me nana) but when I opened my google account, that was already taken

11:05 am

hokie carla

11:05 am

hurshy

bonaventrue

11:05 am

hurshy

11:05 am

hokie carla

I made this name way back in 2005 before it was bad to use your name

11:05 am

hokie carla

LOL

11:06 am

hurshy

now everyone spread the rumour that ruru's real name is bonaventure

11:06 am

cybernan

just one ru -- it's not Apostles?

11:06 am

LeslieAnn

bonruventure

11:06 am

MollyL

Okay I will blurt the secret. Ru's real name is Valentine

11:07 am

hokie carla

patrick

11:07 am

hokie carla

I guess teatree oil is tea tree?

11:07 am

cybernan

I don't think Patrick is Greek

11:08 am

hokie carla

oh, we're looking for a greek saint?

11:08 am

MollyL

I actually know a priest whose name is Valentine. He always wears red socks.

11:08 am

rururocks

too many people would embarrass me by calling me boneventure

11:08 am

hokie carla

11:09 am

hokie carla

I was going to suggest we shorten it to bone

11:09 am

MollyL

hello friends

4:32 pm

periwinkle

hi Trif

4:32 pm

montreal13

hi trif

4:33 pm

Trifioso

montreal! How lovely! It has been a long time!

4:33 pm

montreal13

nice to "see" you 2 (trif)

4:34 pm

Trifioso

I hope you and all your d4 ones have been safe, happy and well

4:34 pm

montreal13

1st FE8 means to put together states/provinces to make a country

4:36 pm

montreal13

yes trif, we have survived the pandemic...so far...we both have had 2 doses of Pfizzer vaccine and most of our family have got or will get their vaccine soon, so no complaint really...but it has been a long haul and we our "blasé"... how about you and yours trif ?

4:37 pm

montreal13

- are "blasé"...

4:38 pm

Trifioso

my eldest daughter had covid, and continues to have some issues, but I am happy to report that all three of my children are vaxxed, and doing well in life. My youngest child joined the trump cult, and has chosen to cut all ties with us. THAT has been hard, but we soldier on, hoping she will come to her senses.

4:39 pm

montreal13

sorry to hear that about your daughters...cult indeed...

4:41 pm

Trifioso

thank you. the lingering effects of her covid illness have been .....worrying. she just cant seem to catch a break.

4:42 pm

montreal13

that's what is so scary about the covid: the "long term" effects for some while others recover quickly...

4:43 pm

montreal13

peri, did you get the 1st FE8 ? think of Canada"s levels of government: provincials and FE****l

4:44 pm

Trifioso

agreed, montreal. Happy to hear the canadian border is opening up again soon. SO many people stuck on one side or the other!

4:46 pm

montreal13

i believe canadians will have to wait a couple of weeks longer to cross into the US...but i hear that some won't go into some areas of the states...such as Florida for instances seeing how it has handled the pandemic...

4:47 pm

Trifioso

*i* would not set foot down south for any reason. Between the covidiots and the conservatives stripping everyone who isnt white and male of their rights, I am done with the lower states

4:48 pm

Trifioso

is the lone p fishy, please?

4:48 pm

montreal13

i "hear" you Trif and feel the same ☺

4:49 pm

montreal13

4:54 pm

Trifioso

which reminds me - a lovely, escapist pleasure of late has been "the parisian agency" on netflix. its a french-based reality series showing a family of realtors who sell luxury RE in France. It's so lovely, to see all the amazing properties over there.

4:54 pm

Trifioso

nice to have on whlist ironing or something

4:55 pm

FrenchToast

I haven't seen the show but have been to Paris and in the countryside, I'd have to agree! So many amazing properties

5:13 pm

montreal13

Past tense of the Uncle from The Addams Family. Great word.

6:50 pm

rururocks

the trump cult is a real thing, that's really sad to read trif

6:51 pm

rururocks

oops.. trif isn't here.. never mind

6:59 pm

MollyL

Sad to read about estranged kids. Families should be able to differ on politics without it coming to that.

7:36 pm

governess

its difficult to maintain those relationships. i've always been a blue person living in a red state. but since trump came along simply disagreeing hasn't been the issue. being awful about it has been the issue. its like they've changed.

7:37 pm

Scrabbler

Well said, governess.We have become an angry, intolerant nation.

7:38 pm

governess

my own father showed up at my house and laughed at me. something has changed in a lot of these people that used to be my network.

7:39 pm

Scrabbler

People forget that we can disagree but still get along.

7:40 pm

governess

except i can't really. i have to respect myself. and allowing my own father to come to my home and mock me like that. its difficult to negotiate.

7:42 pm

hokie carla

it all goes back to Trump's personality and the way people act on reality shows. people eat that crap up.

7:42 pm

governess

the question is how do you undo it?

7:43 pm

dan2bit

US political issues mostly aren't any more just about how much to spend fixing potholes or staffing the library. they have to be hyped up as existential threats against an enemy.

7:43 pm

hokie carla

so it somehow makes it acceptable when you see people acting that way on TV

7:43 pm

Scrabbler

Respect cannot be tossed aside just because of differing views.

7:43 pm

dan2bit

respect has to come from both sides though

7:43 pm

Scrabbler

Yes.

7:44 pm

Scrabbler

Phantom = serpent

7:44 pm

governess

so i'm left with accept disrespect, or walk away knowing he likely doesn't have much time left.

7:45 pm

Scrabbler

Let him know what you expect, what you will not tolerate.

7:45 pm

governess

not a phantom, but derp is a word i say

7:45 pm

governess

i have, he makes fun of it

7:46 pm

Scrabbler

Then you must decide whether to be detached and set boundaries or to spend time with him but be disrespected.

7:47 pm

Scrabbler

Tough decision.

7:47 pm

governess

yes, but that is also choosing detached from mom or time with mom. and she votes bad but she's not disrespectful.

7:48 pm

governess

anyway, sorry for dumping that in here

7:48 pm

Scrabbler

It's tough when family members are disrespectful.

7:49 pm

governess

i'll just muddle through as i can

7:49 pm

hokie carla

yeah, sorry to hear that

7:50 pm

Scrabbler

This is a common situation in the US, sadly.

7:50 pm

hokie carla

just want to go back to something I read earlier, FYI, some of us living in the south are decent people and vaccinated

7:50 pm

governess

it is unfortunately. will just have to do what we can to make it better.

7:51 pm

governess

ha ha, me too hokie. and so glad i'm vaccinated.

7:54 pm

Scrabbler

We are so fortunate. Hospitals are full of very sick unvaccinated people.

7:54 pm

hokie carla

are you the one that is in WV? there's a great doc on hulu about this woman returning to her WV hometown from LA in 2016 before the election and dealing with her Trump supporting family members. I think it was just called Hillbilly.

7:54 pm

ItalianGreyhound

its the end of the world

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

How so, IG?

7:55 pm

governess

having had covid before they first believed it was here and were testing it, i consider myself fortunate that i have asthma and didn't end up in a hospital.

7:55 pm

ItalianGreyhound

just kill yourselfs

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

Not yet.

7:56 pm

hokie carla

wow, either IG has been drinking or someone has his computer!

7:56 pm

ItalianGreyhound

not living!

7:56 pm

governess

okay, i'm not going to engage that kind of behavior

7:57 pm

Scrabbler

These comments do not fit with the IG I know.

7:58 pm

governess

have a good evening all.

7:58 pm

Scrabbler

Bye. I have done enough too.

8:49 pm
