Just1Mar

1:03 am

Just1Mar

1:03 am

MonkeyGames

1:03 am

tygerbryght

jilli, I am SO sorry things went as they did at the vet, but I know you did what was best for Susie. (((((jilli)))))

1:03 am

jillibus

I only have one word -- the stinky re4/8

1:03 am

dcseain

LOL monkey.

1:03 am

jillibus

thanks, tyger, but the vets were very kind

1:04 am

dcseain

Virginia is larger than most people think, people in Ohio are always confused that VA Beach is 4h from here. heh.

1:04 am

Just1Mar

jilli.....what happened???

1:04 am

tygerbryght

I just woke up a few minutes ago from a nap after getting home about 10pm my time with son from emergency (his 3rd day of horrible pain from last November's back injury). I did send you an email yesterday before leaving for that.

1:04 am

Book Doctor Gwen

1:04 am

BabbleRabble

jillibus

1:04 am

dcseain

i hope he's doing better, tyger

1:04 am

Atalante

awww jill :(:(:( I'm so sorry

1:05 am

MVA

hi book

1:05 am

tygerbryght

in my experience, vets are always kind when doing that. I've never seen one who wasn't sympathetic to the owner, and compassionate to the pet

1:05 am

Just1Mar

but was this sudden???

1:05 am

dcseain

morning, gwen :)

1:05 am

rururocks

jillibus

1:05 am

tygerbryght

1:05 am

dcseain

many vowels, ruru

1:05 am

MVA

hi dc!

1:06 am

tygerbryght

1:06 am

dcseain

very latinate word, ruru, starts with woman prefix

1:06 am

Just1Mar

I may have missed something jilli....and I'm sorry if i did but was this sudden?

1:06 am

jillibus

well, tyger, i certainly meant to but not too with it to
day

1:06 am

tygerbryght

but you are in another "box" right now - the room of grief (one I know too well). Don't worry about it

1:06 am

dcseain

wow, ye4/10 i haven't heard since great-grandpa Fred died. :D

1:07 am

BabbleRabble

gy 8 -- add back of the neck: **p* and pacific o***n

1:07 am

Just1Mar

ok won't ask anymore ...

1:07 am

dcseain

i see Ms Perlman is back tonight.

1:07 am

jillibus

mar, it has been coming on for some time but I finally bit the bullet

1:08 am

dcseain

jilli, understandably you're a bit out of it, been a hard day for you :(

1:08 am

Just1Mar

but I can't recall you mentioning anything about it :( I 'm very sorry jilli

1:08 am

tygerbryght

with an aging pet, that is a decision that often takes a while to come to the point of action

1:08 am

jillibus

dc, tomorrow will be too -- putting away all her things

1:09 am

dcseain

yeah, been there before. :( And i've a 17-year-old.

1:09 am

jillibus

mar, guess you weren't aroudn -- I'm afraid I've been going on about it most of yesterday at least

1:09 am

tygerbryght

DC, just read your profile. You lost your dad very young

1:09 am

Jellen

(((jilli)))

1:09 am

crpw48

11 to go and that will have to wait till tomorrow, my face is stuck on the keyboard i am so sleepy, beautiful cat jilli and such a wonderful memory to always have, night all

1:09 am

dcseain

i was 15, my sister was 12 at the time, tyger, so yes.

1:09 am

Just1Mar

I understand that but Jilli, you didn't say anything about it, at least not in the late evening ....

1:10 am

jillibus

I must say all of you have been SO supportive -- more so than my real family

1:10 am

tygerbryght

I lost my mom when I was 13, so I'm equipped to empathize with you.

1:10 am

Atalante

*hugs jilli madly*

1:10 am

tygerbryght

well, jilli, this is a sort of surrogate family for most of us :)

Just1Mar

1:11 am

jillibus

1:11 am

Atalante

1:11 am

tygerbryght

we talk about almost anything and everything, and nearly everybody is supportive - a very rare place, this

1:11 am

dcseain

that was no fun, i'm sure just.

1:11 am

Book Doctor Gwen

eegad, just, that's bad!

1:11 am

Just1Mar

I mean I was 19, he was only 53 :(

1:12 am

dcseain

indeed, tyger.

1:12 am

MVA

true tyger

1:12 am

dcseain

my dad was 41, as was his mother, when they each died.

1:12 am

jillibus

yes, tyger -- I tell my friends and family and they just don't get it

1:12 am

jillibus

oh dc, how very sad!

1:12 am

dcseain

his sister was 56 when she passed of the same thing.

1:13 am

Just1Mar

my mom was sleeping downstairs on the sofa, I came home from a date, went upstairs and found him....

1:13 am

dcseain

my mom was sleeping on the sofa when the call came in about my father.

1:13 am

jillibus

what was the same thing, dc, if you don't mind my asking?

1:13 am

tygerbryght

I think most of the people in here are pet lovers, and we all tend to care about critters in general

1:13 am

MonkeyGames

Absolutely, Tyger.

1:14 am

jillibus

every life is of value

1:14 am

tygerbryght

and many of us have experienced personal tragedies

1:14 am

Just1Mar

I have no pets jilli, but my sis has 2 aging cats that she loves to pieces, so I do understand

1:14 am

MonkeyGames

Again, absolutely.

dcseain

oh, my father, his sister, their mother, and her brother all died of amyotropic lateral sclerosis, aka ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease/Motor Neuron Disease.

1:14 am

Atalante

my father killed himself, because he met up with me a few weeks before he died for the first time in 18 years. joy.

1:14 am

tygerbryght

I understand, gwen

1:15 am

MonkeyGames

Ruru, that one's driving me nuts too.

1:15 am

dcseain

1:15 am

Just1Mar

1:15 am

Atalante

1:15 am

jillibus

OMG, dc!! Didn't think there was a familial connection to that horror!

1:15 am

dcseain

ac6 - ends like the news m8888

1:15 am

1:16 am

tygerbryght

(((((ata)))))

1:16 am

jillibus

suicide is so cruel to those left behind

1:16 am

dcseain

yes, jilli, there are 3 different genes that are indicators of it.

1:16 am

dcseain

my sister and i are at very, very low risk, as it's autasomomal recessive

1:17 am

dcseain

and no history of it on mom's side

1:17 am

jillibus

ye gods, this is getting so sad for everyone!

1:17 am

Atalante

a happy thing! I saw Viggo Mortensen today! For real!

1:17 am

Just1Mar

glad to hear that part dc!

1:17 am

dcseain

i used dad's family as a case study for autosomal recessive inheritence for a genetics class in 11grade.

1:17 am

Just1Mar

lol did you? now tell us who that is!

1:18 am

dcseain

oh neat, ata! :D

1:18 am

tygerbryght

DC, if you didn't get A+, there was something wrong with your teacher!

1:18 am

jillibus

well, DNA testing may help in the future for such things

1:18 am

Atalante

*gasp* he played Aragorn in LotR

1:18 am

dcseain

the teacher had had an uncle who'd died of it, so yes, i got an A for that.

1:18 am

MonkeyGames

My family has a thing like that, a huge number of arteriovenous malformations. When I learned the full extent a year ago, I got an MRI. I am clear. So then I heard from a long-lost cousin, told him I'm clear. he got worried and got tested.... and is going to get brain surgery just in time. Evidence of prior bleeds and everything.

1:18 am

dcseain

indeed, jilli :)

1:18 am

Just1Mar

oh well that s'plains it cause I have no culture

1:19 am

dcseain

glad that he is able to be helped, monkey

1:19 am

rururocks

1:19 am

tygerbryght

I'm not a movie buff - almost anti (don't hate movies, just don't care), so I didn't know either

1:19 am

tygerbryght

SOOO glad your cousin learned in time, games

1:19 am

Atalante

oh well. I am on cloud 9 because of it.

1:19 am

jillibus

monkey, thank whatever gods (and scientists) may be for modern medical research

1:19 am

MonkeyGames

Me too! And he's not happy about what's wrong but IS happy the "atypical migraines" are explained and treatment is available. He always knew something was wrong.

1:19 am

Jellen

2:24 am

flosey

2:24 am

sprite

there ain't no such thing as an easy K

2:24 am

jillibus

(that's not a clue)

2:25 am

sprite

it is driving me krecy as usual.

2:25 am

jillibus

I have 3 BT -- the two ys and the G

2:26 am

jillibus

sprite -- it's quite an ordinary word

2:26 am

sprite

I have not yin and something rhyming with the eyeless side of the body plus past tense for the Y.

2:27 am

sprite

how can it be an ordinary word if it starts with K??? Especially since it cannot be kiss.

2:27 am

mummy

I got the k, you too can unlock the secret of it

2:27 am

herinfernallady

HI Everyone. I just crashed my internet

3:21 am

herinfernallady

HI Hodag

3:21 am

sprite

he has a job that takes everything you got and gives nothing back, not even job satisfaction. He has been doing 'double duty' at home since I became an invalid. And we have money worries. Enough to get the strongest men on their knees, isn't it.

3:21 am

sprite

hi ho!

3:21 am

sprite

he does, lady, he does.

3:22 am

GroovyKiwi

well at least he has finally given in spritey thats the first step

3:22 am

herinfernallady

OH that is good Sprite. He can't just have you to chat to as good as that is :D

3:22 am

GroovyKiwi

and it takes a strong man to actually give in

3:22 am

lynxxx

Sprite, he may also have picked up the flu bugs from you or Random and that may be effecting him as well. Wouldn't hurt to see the doctor

3:22 am

sprite

it is, Kiwi. Though he still claims it is only going to be for a few days... but at least he agreed to see the doctor first.

3:22 am

GroovyKiwi

i got the perfect solution

3:23 am

GroovyKiwi

he needs to come to babble counselling lol

3:23 am

sprite

no lady, you are correct, and I meant he does have to talk to someone, but he doesn't have much friends.

3:23 am

P.J.

How are you kiwi,sprite lady and anyone I missed!!!

3:23 am

sprite

3:23 am

lynxxx

I am having a few scans at the end of this week... they will determine my future for 2009. I am really surprised she didn't think of that

4:16 am

NonoNanette

i totally agree mrp, but i don't think its generational.... I seem to get it from everyone

4:16 am

mrpresident

I was lynxxx. my compassion was pissed on

4:18 am

mrpresident

I would never hold my hand out to someone and say 'get out of my face'... that is really rude.
If someone was upsetting me, I would certainly let them know and sort it out, but not like a 3 year old

4:20 am

lynxxx

Its lovely to be sensitive MRP, don't change. Just shrug your shoulders and get on with getting on. It takes all sorts and some people are just not good at handling their emotions

4:20 am

mrpresident

I am sounding like my grandma!! holy heck! shoot me now!

4:22 am

mrpresident

too right lynxx. I feel for my friend, she is going through stuff... but it isn't as bad as what some go through... I have seen (been through) real crap! So I hope she can see through it all. She will come out fine.

4:26 am

mrpresident

one area is contained jandy, the other is ruled as arson and because we havent rain for so long its really destroying lots of homes, but people did get to leave, so they were able to take documents and stuff as well....I have not heard of any loss of life...

6:31 am

Jandy

that's something red, but it is still terrifying. we had fires here 5 years ago with 450 homes lost in a town of 300,000 people... huge trauma and social impact

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Carlee....he needs an intervention! A doctor? A friend?

6:32 am

Jandy

three weeks ago today red and I am doing brilliantly thankyou.... need to be careful with lifting but everything else is really good...

6:32 am

carleekat

will never happen ....

6:32 am

montreal13

seems to me the kids should be sent to school...

6:33 am

Scrabbler

But his behavior is destroying family life.....like an alcoholic in denial, getting angry and hostile.

6:33 am

MonkeyGames

FOund the ac5, but can anyone clue the 7? Been looking for it off and on for 6 hours...

6:33 am

redturtlehead

Sooo glad Jandy.

6:33 am

6:33 am

Scrabbler

Yippee for Jandy.

6:33 am

MonkeyGames

6:34 am

montreal13

6:34 am

MonkeyGames

Carlee, personally I would probably keep the kids home and make a special day of it.

6:34 am

redturtlehead

Yes, I would send kids to school, regularity, and they may have this idea that they are really staying home to take care of Mom.....

Same rough spots here Mom. Life's never perfect, is it. :( G'd morning pab

8:21 am

Mom

it is a tough road for sure. They are widening the main highway from 2 to 5 lanes. Our home is off a side street but they need to take our home of 45 years because the highway will make us "landlocked", no way in and no way out. Now we must look for another house.

8:22 am

Mom

Thank you Lori and Annie for the kind thoughts.
Lori, I wish you smooth roads as well

8:22 am

Mom

Hi Pab

8:22 am

Anniebrook

Mom, that is terrible...

8:22 am

LoriP

Oh Mom!!!!!!!! that just ain't right.

8:22 am

pabtrek

that is terrible Mom, I hope you find a wonderful new home

8:23 am

Mom

it has been a hard time. The hardest was having to tell my parents that they were taking the home where they raised us kids.

8:24 am

LoriP

That's heartbreaking Mom. It truly is. ***biggest hug ever for Mom and family***

8:24 am

Mom

my parents are the original owners. I have no doubt at some point we will find a new house but it will be a terrible blow to our finances since the state wants to give us about $30,000 less than what another house will cost

8:24 am

Anniebrook

Mom, your new home will be a wonderful new start..but it is not fair. Take lots of pictures of your home for the great memories you will have

8:25 am

Mom

{{Lori}} thank you for the hug

8:25 am

Mom

I do appreciate the kind words and the hugs.

8:26 am

LynnNate08

8:27 am

Mom

Hi Lynn, sorry I don't have it

8:27 am

hi mom ty

8:27 am

lexleeanne

Oh Mom I am so sorry - it is already so hard to decide to move and then to be FORCED by eminent domain is really hurtful - this is happening on my street - our house is not effected but many neighbors are - they are putting in an onramp for the interstate - can't wait to have THAT near my home

8:28 am

pabtrek

thank you Lori, don't think I would have ever monkeyed that one

8:28 am

LynnNate08

ty

8:28 am

pabtrek

unless I leaned my elbow on the keyboard or something

8:29 am

Mom

oh Lexleeanne, that is terrible. Especially and on ramp.

8:29 am

LoriP

LOLOLOL pab, my lack of typing ability has yielded me words by accident from time to time....

8:29 am

Anniebrook

thanks lori, never would have gotten that one unless i fell asleep on my keyboard

8:29 am

Uniquity

What on earth is that? A latin gynocologist??

8:30 am

Anniebrook

exactly my thought, Uni

8:30 am

Mom

8:30 am

Mom

Hi Uni

8:30 am

LoriP

Fortunately, I don't havta' know what it means. I can barely spell it...... G'd morning Uni

8:31 am

Anniebrook

I looked it up...means part of a dwelling used by women

8:31 am

Uniquity

Lurking is hard when outraged...Mom, I had been reading about your home, and I am so sorry that you have no choice. Lori keeps telling me there is no way out, but I say you protest. Have a sit-in. Forever :)

8:32 am

LoriP

thanks Annie! Now I know. :-)

8:32 am

Uneaixoise

oh, mom, I am soooo sorry about your home!!

8:33 am

evanonut

what happened???

8:33 am

Mom

we had an independent appraiser come for his take on the value of the home and land and are waiting for that info to take to the "relocation agent" to appeal to the state.

8:33 am

Mom

thank you Une and Uni. We appreciate the thoughts, we truly do.

8:33 am

Anniebrook

hi nutty and une!

8:33 am

evanonut

mom, is eminent domain being evil again?

8:33 am

LoriP

wb nut, G'd morning Une.

8:34 am

Uneaixoise

morning, annie :-)

8:34 am

Mom

{{Nutty}} we are losing our home to make way for a new highway. Yes, very evil, Nutty

8:34 am

Uneaixoise

hey, lori :-)

8:34 am

evanonut

eminent domain is a bad thing indeed

8:34 am

Mom

and good morning to you

8:35 am

Mom

I agree

8:36 am

LoriP

It's not right. I have stronger words for it, but we'd lose our family rating.....

8:36 am

Mom

do you have a day off today, Nut? Not use to seeing you this early

8:36 am

evanonut

in a sense

8:36 am

Mom

probably nothing worse than what has been said or thought here

8:36 am

Mom

I hope all is well Nutty

8:37 am

evanonut

all is is

8:37 am

Mom

:), I am glad

8:47 am

Mom

gotta scoot, older son just came in. {{Hugs}} to all of you. Thank you for the kind thoughts and words

8:47 am

Anniebrook

}}Mom}} bye

8:47 am

LoriP

Uni's idea may have some merit. We have a lot of butts as a collective Babble group. If we all arrive at Mom's for a sit in, we could cover a lot of buttage per square foot methinks, and draw attention to this wrong!

8:48 am

LoriP

***big hugs again*** Take care Mom!

Hi everyone, back from running. Very sleepy, but I have to go back to the gym for a training session in about 40 minutes. :( at least I found a swim suit that fits better than the one i am wearing...

9:11 am

Anniebrook

hi red!

9:11 am

redturtlehead

How are you Annie!!!! How is NYC?

9:12 am

Anniebrook

NYC is chilly...not May weather at all

9:13 am

redturtlehead

Oh sorry, you have permission to come see me. It is going to be in the 80's today. Not really May like either, but its very warm.

9:13 am

Anniebrook

red, I would love to see you and be in Florida right now

9:14 am

redturtlehead

come on down!

9:14 am

Anniebrook

LOL, that would be very nice

9:14 am

redturtlehead

I would like to add, for amusement, when I came in from running today I found it odd that the dog did nto greet me. I found him stuck int he bathtub, afraid to jump out. How/Why he decided to jump in there (no water in there) I have no idea.

9:15 am

redturtlehead

Really Annie, weather is pretty nice, and I am currently close to Disney, but far enough away not to be bombarded with it.

9:16 am

Anniebrook

poor Teulu...his adventure for the day..Liz, my daughter and her family spent Easter week at Disney, her kids loved it..no surprise there

9:16 am

Anniebrook

red, have you visited Disney yet?

9:16 am

redturtlehead

I've never been, but I have about 9 more weeks here, so theres always a chance I might loose my mind....

9:17 am

Anniebrook

LOL

9:17 am

redturtlehead

I was supposed to run race there last weekend, but I was not conditioned.

9:17 am

Anniebrook

red, Liz is a runner too...has done mini-marathons...i think one day she will run the NYC marathon

9:18 am

redturtlehead

So cool! I am really hoping to do well in my teeny Marathon, don't think I could handle the big crowd at an event like NYC....but my Dads friend ran it..

9:19 am

redturtlehead

Some guy in Brooklyn was standing on one corner saying to all the flaggin runners, "Nobody dies on my Block, get going".... Very New Yorker...

9:19 am

redturtlehead

errr. flagging.

9:20 am

Anniebrook

red, sounds like Brooklyn encouragement

9:20 am

Anniebrook

how is Teulu doing?

9:21 am

redturtlehead

He's doing well, He did eventually get out of the tub, now asleep at my feet...seems fine, all ecept the tub, which actually is more like his normal personality..

9:22 am

Anniebrook

red, I thought I read that Teulu was having a problem with his kidneys....hope all is well

9:22 am

Anniebrook

that was a few days ago...was away

9:23 am

redturtlehead

He gets labs rechecked in a week or so to be sure he wasnt just very dehydrated from heat. Yes, he is supposed to be having a Kidney issue...

9:23 am

redturtlehead

Thank you for remembering...

9:24 am

Anniebrook

ah, the heat...was will get you in Florida...I am sure he will be fine

9:25 am

redturtlehead

I am hoping so...he is much better behaved than usual, but I t hink he was a little concerned about the tub...too funny to see him peeking out from beind the shower curtain...

9:26 am

Anniebrook

dont think Teulu will go near the bathroom for a while, poor thing

9:26 am

the ac 5 is an adjective using the same root

2:41 pm

2:43 pm

lexleeanne

r6 anyone??

2:43 pm

stidmama

Oh, then you know what it is like. I have been through new england in late summer as a child (not fun).

2:44 pm

kje

ac 5/20 - ac + leg joint minus the n - it is a jamaican fruit

2:44 pm

stidmama

but as a child in Puerto Rico I don't recall ever being completely uncomfortable, just hot. which is why I recommend florida.

2:44 pm

fruittart

r6 -- like what a tornado does to a house, drop the w at the beginning

2:45 pm

lexleeanne

1 left - I AM SHOCKED - thank you friut

2:45 pm

2:45 pm

icepyro

stid... I had to look up several 4 letter words... its a stoopid grid it seems

2:46 pm

stidmama

oh -- pensacola, hm? not sure then. Never been there, just the gulf midway up and the orlando area.

2:46 pm

stidmama

thanks kje... *Thinking*

2:46 pm

icepyro

its on the gulf.. I wouldnt mind seeing boston, but florida is also close enough I could get family to visit

2:46 pm

stidmama

2:47 pm

fruittart

we just got back from a week in Destin, just east of Pensacola. It's really hot there in mid summer

2:47 pm

kje

what is all this bitching about all of a sudden?!?!

2:47 pm

stidmama

see, this is one reason I LOVE babble! you get to hear about places from people who really know about it.

2:47 pm

icepyro

so it kinda comes down to tourism or nothign to do so might as well study what Im supposed to be

2:47 pm

stidmama

well kje, my opinion of a grid varies in proportion to my frustration. And probably has little basis in reality at any given moment...

2:48 pm

kje

LOL stid -

2:48 pm

icepyro

not much of my comments ever have a basis in the reality most people share :)

2:48 pm

stidmama

rofl

2:49 pm

2:53 pm

lexleeanne

stid - on Monday - after I got angry with Hubby in TX

2:53 pm

lexleeanne

passive aggressive action!

2:53 pm

lexleeanne

2:54 pm

stidmama

2:55 pm

lexleeanne

8= gy

2:56 pm

stidmama

yes, gy 8... and then 6 more letters that evade me. like minnows in a net for salmon.

2:56 pm

lexleeanne

gy women medicine (first and second vowels) curved letter then second and first vowel

2:57 pm

lexleeanne

don't forget the constanant that makes it women's med

2:57 pm

fruittart

he6 -- sounds like dried grass for cows + the time when the sun is up but with different vowels; means the prime of something

2:57 pm

stidmama

wow. thanks! I would not have monkeyed that one.

2:57 pm

stidmama

thanks fruittart *thinking*

2:57 pm

JBV

2:59 pm

lexleeanne

I can actually help for a minute now

2:59 pm

stidmama

we were at Ramey AFB just north of ?aguadilla? I think... hold on, need a map. it's the north west corner of the island, anyway.

3:00 pm

stidmama

yes, I see it's now called "maleza baja", north of the little village of borinquen where my mother used to buy fabrics to make me dresses.

3:00 pm

peg23

cant get the he6

3:01 pm

lexleeanne

Hello - very informal - and 24 hour period spelled with a different vowel

3:01 pm

lexleeanne

byfor now

3:01 pm

JBV

I know where it is - did you go to the DOD school there? we have friends that worked at Buchanan -

3:01 pm

stidmama

peg: a way of saying "hello" is he* + susan *** (played the keyboards in the partridge family)

3:02 pm

stidmama

yes, I did. Kgarten and first grade. Used to climb a huge mimosa tree in the schoolyard... LOL

3:02 pm

JBV

what a nice name for a town in PR - Borinquen! never heard of your little town - we usually hang out on the east coast

3:02 pm

icepyro

ironically I work with someone named susan *** altho spelling is like the 24 hr period

3:03 pm

stidmama

it was wonderful. Except the hibiscus. I am frightfully allergic to it, and it was huge hedges between all the houses!

3:03 pm

peg23

yeah I have typed it several ways and it says its not in the dictionary..but I understand the clue

3:04 pm

stidmama

yes, the east coast is where all the tourists are, I think.

3:04 pm

stidmama

peg: the he 6 uses the 3pt letter twice...

3:04 pm

JBV

well, tourists and people like us who are not tourists but have family and friends there....

3:05 pm

stidmama

well -- it's the population center, after all! LOL and we used to go regularly to San Juan. I still remember (almost 40 years later) what the dungeon in el morro smelled like...

3:05 pm

JBV

does anyone have a clue for the re 4/6 (after the re 6 and before the water plant)???

3:05 pm

stidmama

but the BEST beaches are away from San Juan. Little isolated stretches that are back on sandy roads.

3:06 pm

peg23

gotcha thanks

3:06 pm

stidmama

re 4/6: color, double last letter

3:06 pm

JBV

and for surfers, the best waves are on the west coast -

3:06 pm

JBV

sounds like you haven't been back, stid - is that true?

3:06 pm

JBV

thanks for the re 4!

3:07 pm

stidmama

No, never have, JBV. Have missed it all this time, too. Except the hibiscus.

3:07 pm

JBV

I am now one word away from fireworks -

I have to admit though, I no longer understand puerto rican spoken at normal tempo...

3:08 pm

stidmama

YAY JBV?

3:08 pm

JBV

stid, it's not too late to plan your next vacation - so many new and beautiful things to see there - and if you have children, a lot of history and culture to absorb

3:08 pm

LuluMeow

well my friends, I must go get ready for that horrid place called work! See ya later tonight maybe..

3:08 pm

JBV

3:08 pm

3:08 pm

peg23

how old are you guys?

3:09 pm

stidmama

I would love to go, JBV, but in 18 years of marriage, we have only had one real vacation with the kids... no money most years.

3:09 pm

LuluMeow

thanks :-D (and I am 28) bye for now

3:09 pm

stidmama

well peg, many of us have our ages in our profiles. you can see them by clicking on the icons.

3:09 pm

stidmama

Someday though, I will go back. AND take the kids if I can, even if they are in their thirties!!!

3:10 pm

JBV

I hope so, stid - or they can take you! that would be a treat!

3:10 pm

stidmama

yes, it would be a treat.

3:11 pm

peg23

sorry I am new to this whole game and how things work

3:11 pm

JBV

My husband has a lot of family there, so when we go we usually spend a few days in hotel, then the rest of the time in people's house, so it is a little more economical

3:12 pm

stidmama

do you ever go up in the mountains near arecibo? I remember the observatory, how big it was next to my family's VW bug... and the little houses in the forest, the children running around barefoot with chickens and goats around them. So different from my experiences, but the children never looked sad.

3:12 pm

stidmama

it's okay peg -- ask away. And if you want a lot of good info, angelsong's pages are great. http://www.freewebs.com/angelsong/

3:12 pm

mo

hi everyone, and welcome peg23.

3:12 pm

stidmama

I am sure things have changed a lot since then though.

3:12 pm

stidmama

hello mo!

3:13 pm

JBV

yes, the observatory is a major attraction, they have upgraded the visitor center - it's great! and there are still children running barefoot, of course, but it's part of the rural way of life

3:13 pm

stidmama

Yes, when we visit Jill in Canada or my grandfather in Ashland Oregon, we tend to stay with them. It's the only way we can afford it.

3:13 pm

stidmama

LOL arecibo has a visitor's center? way cool!

3:14 pm

JBV

Life in the cities is very Americanized - evidence of chain stores, strip malls, not all the good signs of "development"

3:15 pm

stidmama

That is too bad. But it is happening everywhere these days. I am always sad when I visit So. California to see how little of each community's character remains.

3:15 pm

JBV

since it's a tiny island, every "development" is built at the cost of the natural beauty and environmental balance that is in danger

3:15 pm

icepyro

who said chain stores and strip malls were good signs? one of the few things I like about hwere I live now is walmart is one of the few chain stores and the strip mall is suffering in business

3:17 pm

JBV

I think you misunderstood me, icepyro, or I wasn't clear - I meant that what we are seeing in PR are the signs of the bad effects of development

3:17 pm

stidmama

no one said the were good signs. I have read that PR struggles with controlling the waste from this lifestyle of excess... it's very sad.

3:17 pm

Angelsong

hi, all. another small grid today.

3:18 pm

JBV

I think it's happening everywhere as you said, but in a very small and isolated place - like an island - the effects are much more pronounced

3:18 pm

icepyro

oh I got ya... i was just commenting that that form of development is bad no matter where you are imo

3:18 pm

mo

hello Angel, yes small but tricky (well i thought so!!!)

3:19 pm

peg23

can someone help me with the 7 words

3:19 pm

icepyro

yeah we have a case of fish for all the tricky little words you should have gotten lol

3:19 pm

that's true tyg, but i often leave the grid thinking, "gee i'm cute, but i'm not bright"

5:27 pm

EXCELLENT point, dan!

5:29 pm

Lindrickway

LOL hi dan

5:29 pm

jazflyn

5:29 pm

Lindrickway

I'm just drowning mine in beer so it will function better!! LOL

7:49 pm

Angela

hugs to jilli if she's still around

7:49 pm

kje

I liked it - challenging but not too long

7:49 pm

Angela

*poof*

7:49 pm

Lindrickway

oh i love living with mine kje, he spent 14 months in the UK selling out other house, I just love him being here!!

7:49 pm

kje

I am the opposite lindy - like challenging and shorter over those marathons - they just wear me down

7:49 pm

LadyNatts

waking up both the dog and me - and, naturally, the dog determined he needed to go outside.

7:50 pm

Lindrickway

well i don't mind challenging but seen as i am off work i like long to keep me occupied

7:50 pm

Lindrickway

aaww lady

7:50 pm

kje

LOL lady - sorry for the dog - but funny your husband thought that was a need to know item in the middle of the night

7:51 pm

LadyNatts

he was dreaming, kje... didn't even realize he'd woken us up. In the morning, he said "I had a terrible dream..."

7:51 pm

Lindrickway

funny how hubbys can't take out pucking dogs isn't it!! LOL

7:52 pm

kje

LOL lady - did you punch him?

7:52 pm

Lindrickway

oh that is the other fun bit kje!!!

7:52 pm

kje

(clearly not meant literally - not endorsing domestic violence!)

7:52 pm

LadyNatts

and the dog was NOT puking... but once he heard the hubby cry, he decided he needed to go to the bathroom in the worst way

7:53 pm

kje

it scared the pee right out of him lady

7:53 pm

Lindrickway

men & dogs you just have to love 'em!!

7:53 pm

Lindrickway

you are so funny kje!! LOL

7:53 pm

LadyNatts

so there I was, up and awake at 1:30 a.m. (LOL, kje) I knew I had no hope of falling asleep right away, so I babbled

7:54 pm

Lindrickway

oh lady i can get up with the dog and go straight back to sleep!! LOL

7:54 pm

kje

yea babble!!! always right here 24/7!

7:55 pm

Lindrickway

my dog was up every 30 minutes to puke last friday and i still slept inbetween!!!

7:55 pm

LadyNatts

sometimes hubby will wake me in the middle of a deep sleep - "honey, can you scratch my back" ... I want to scratch, alright... scratch his eyes out.

7:55 pm

Lindrickway

i can do that in my sleep too!!

7:55 pm

kje

just roll him outta the bed lady!

7:56 pm

Lindrickway

i mean scratch his back not his eyes!!

7:56 pm

LadyNatts

7:57 pm

kje

with you so small - why do you have a king size bed!!!

7:57 pm

LadyNatts

If I could fall back to sleep, I'd be fine - but I can't, not anymore. When I was younger, I could fall asleep in an instant.

7:57 pm

kje

Poor Ian was subject to treble prejudice - he was a pretend Cockney, he didn't come from the right area and he was far more clever than he rest of them. They didn't like that.

Lindrickway

Jacula

David Bowie saw through that though, and, on thw strength of hearing Ian's vocals on tape, gave them his song, Al The Young Dudes. The rest is history, as they say.
