there is a bird cawing incessantly outside and my cats are like why that one has so much to say?

9:02 am

rururocks

they're mating hursh

9:02 am

hurshy

well that would explain why my cats don't understand it - they're neutered!

9:03 am

Dorens

my cat is just going crazy with the chipmunks and squirrels outside the patio door. very entertaining

9:04 am

Dorens

for some reason little acorns have been dropping lately and they're busy harvesting them, and sh'e busy tracking them.

9:05 am

hurshy

nice

9:05 am

rururocks

my dog keeps all the squirrels off the property

9:06 am

Dorens

your dog would probably keep my cat off the property too! But them again she isn't allowed outside

9:06 am

MollyL

Every few years oak trees produce an absurd amount of acorns and will shed them earlier to middle in the summer.

9:07 am

bichon

I wish I could find something that would keep the crows and starlings off the property

9:07 am

Dorens

sometimes I have so many acorns I can barely walk on the stones or driveway, they're all covered. I have a lot of big oaks

9:07 am

rururocks

yeah.. he keeps the neighbors cat out of my back yard

9:09 am

rururocks

you staying home today doren

9:10 am

Dorens

nope. two barbecues to attend. trying to figure out which one I do first

9:11 am

Dorens

staying home tomorrow though, then to Baltimore on Sumday

9:12 am

rururocks

I wish I had your energy

9:14 am

Dorens

there is definitely less these days. When we were in Asbury Park I just hung around like a queen and let everyone else do all the cooking and most of the cleaning up. Only went to the beach one day, and definitely shorter walks now.

9:14 am

rururocks

you get tired out?

9:15 am

Dorens

Yes, but maybe it is the humidity. Still one big concession- taking train on Sunday and not driving. But driving is my autonomy and control and I don't like giving in and giving that up.

9:16 am

rururocks

who's asking you not to drive anymore?

9:17 am

Dorens

oh no one, it's just that the trip to Baltimore can take four hours or more depending on traffic. And I don't think that's really a great idea now

9:17 am

rururocks

oh.. ok that makes sense

9:18 am

Dorens

It does. But I still resent it even though it is my own idea

9:18 am

rururocks

it's going to be really weird when I have to give up driving..I do so much driving daily

9:18 am

Dorens

typical cat move. I was just about to go get myself some breakfast and she ran up to me and plopped on my lap

9:19 am

hurshy

i've taken the train rather than drive, in my 20s, just because it was more pleasant - so maybe if you don't think of it as having anything to do with aging, you won't have to resent it :)

9:19 am

Dorens

you'll probably do it gradually ru. You do keep saying you're retiring right?

9:19 am

rururocks

yep.. at the end of the year

9:20 am

Dorens

I get that hursh, but I really do love driving, particularly my new little baby Volvo EX 30. I'm obsessed with this car, so much fun to drive.

9:21 am

hurshy

glad you are enjoying it :)

9:21 am

Dorens

very much so. thanks. :)

hokie carla

anybody here? I can't get the re6, even by looking it up.

5:21 pm

hokie carla

and knowing the 3rd letter

5:22 pm

hokie carla

got it just by typing words in the lookup list. could not see that.

5:58 pm

penquis

back for my last 16....

6:19 pm

hurshy

hokie, try the plural of the word you wanted at 2:24

6:22 pm

hurshy

and the other one is actually weirdly spelled wookiee because apparently george lucas just likes to be extra... but idk if that's a proper noun like "he's a Scot" or a common noun like "he's a human" or "he's a cat". but i can't really say i'm surprised that it wouldn't be in enable either way.

7:27 pm

hokie carla

I got fireworks a while back. and that's why I said it must be nooky.

7:27 pm

hokie carla

and I forgot it was wookiee, but I was joking. of course that is a proper noun.

7:58 pm

Christa

@cybernan, no the picture is of Thumb Butte in Prescott Arizona. I took it off the internet . I hope to retire in Prescott someday.

hi everyone - spent most of the day with the kids at their chalet in Big White Ski Resort. They also have extensive mountain biking trails up there that my son and grandson like to spend their time on.
