rururocks

60's isn't cold to me

8:36 am

hurshy

"It was one of Mrs. Frederick’s rules that no fires were necessary after the twenty-fourth of May. And though May might be icy and October frost-bitten, no fires were lighted until the twenty-first of October by the calendar. It was whispered about in the connection that the late Frederick Stirling had caught the cold which resulted in his death during Valancy’s first year of life because Mrs. Frederick would not have a fire on the twentieth of October. She lighted it the next day—but that was a day too late for Frederick Stirling." -The Blue Castle, by LM Montgomery

8:36 am

hokie carla

8:39 am

hokie carla

8:39 am

hurshy

yep

8:40 am

hurshy

8:42 am

hokie carla

dustration - the feeling you get from dusting so often

8:42 am

hurshy

i am not familiar with that feeling, lol

8:42 am

hokie carla

well, once a month is too often

8:43 am

hurshy

i don't remember if my mom made us dust as a chore as kids, but since becoming an adult i have probably not dusted more times total than i could count on one hand

8:44 am

hokie carla

I only dust when I see it and think, oh, that's bad

8:44 am

MollyL

Do you have a maid?

8:44 am

hokie carla

I don't

8:44 am

hurshy

see i don't think it's bad. unless one has dust allergies, what's the big deal?

8:44 am

MollyL

I meant Hursh

8:45 am

rururocks

I do.. once a week.. it's wonderful

8:45 am

hurshy

it just doesn't really seem to do any harm

8:45 am

MollyL

I dust on a regular basis and can't imagine what things would look like if I didn't

8:45 am

rururocks

it's nothing to sneeze at hursh.. i dust a lot

8:46 am

hokie carla

ruru does not feel the dustration

8:46 am

MollyL

See. Ru has once week maid service and still dusts hiself

8:47 am

rururocks

I back up to a vineyard.. it's always dusty in the house

8:47 am

MollyL

I am grateful for those Swiffer dusters. They really help out a lot. Especially the long handled one for cobwebs and such up high

8:47 am

hurshy

grape dust?

8:47 am

rururocks

I' however am not anal about dusting.. just when I have time

8:47 am

hokie carla

it's hard to see the dust here over the tumbleweeds of golden fur

8:48 am

hokie carla

yep, I have the swiffer dusters

8:48 am

rururocks

I hear that hokie

8:48 am

MollyL

Yeah I was just thinking about tons of cat hair and tons of dust

8:48 am

rururocks

our house looked like a clint eastwood movie set some days

8:48 am

hurshy

well the cat hair mostly settles to the FLOOR, so, then you vacuum

8:48 am

hokie carla

yep

8:49 am

rururocks

we had five goldens then

8:50 am

hurshy

wow!

8:50 am

hokie carla

wow, heaven

8:50 am

rururocks

and three cats

8:50 am

hurshy

the hospital where i'm doing my internship thingy has a couple of goldens as therapy dogs

8:51 am

hurshy

and you can pet them when you pass them in the hall, it's not like guide dogs for the blind or whatever

8:51 am

hokie carla

they're really perfect for that

8:51 am

rururocks

goldens are great therapy dogs. I did that for a while with one of my dogs

8:51 am

hokie carla

winston's not trained as one but is absolutely one

8:51 am

rururocks

he was awesome at it.. so gentle

8:52 am

hokie carla

you better pet them in the hall, hurshy, or they'll be upset

8:52 am

rururocks

i have to jump in the shower.. .going for a long walk today

8:52 am

hurshy

it's funny they even train them, seems like they are naturals at it lol

8:52 am

rururocks

have fun all.

8:52 am

hokie carla

bye ruru

8:53 am

hokie carla

they are, but winston is a little too excitable, he might bowl someone over. but is great at providing therapy.

8:55 am

hokie carla

so I think the training is for making them able to be in places like hospitals where they are calm with strangers

8:55 am

hurshy

makes sense

8:57 am

Norma

9:00 am

welki

another chilly morning here in alberta - heat's on! (heat's BEEN on for a while now)

10:25 am

hurshy

ok i got it at last

10:26 am
