Howdy Roland :)
Your new place looks WONDERFUL. I like the decor. I will be back after I look at Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters. Do you have a space cleared for dancing ? Maybe I can find a cowboy that can teach me some dancing steps when I come back ? A Canadian beer would be great. I've already eaten dinner. I really favor Margaritas but always open to new things and here in Texas I'm not sure be have Canadian Beer. I'm sure we don't have it "on tap"
See ya'll later :)
-
Desperate Housewives!! there is must see TV!! :laugh:

It's a "send in yer favourite joke on the internet" kinda situation. More likely the joke's been around the internet and caught the attentiona a some computer "geek" locally - Still ya don't expect ta hear the same joke repeated on two mediums within 48 hours!

Hi Doug...you enjoy the shows? That Dixie Carter did good as the evil stepmom...but I am not so sure her son is as innocent as he pretends to be

I may as well :o
I guess I like virtual food better that real food, don't gain weight from that.

Howdy.... I'm back to see if there is a cowboy who wants to slow dance to the jukebox ? I'll try one of those Moose Head Beers. I need to check here in Texas for their availability. The shows were great tonight. Looking forward to "Grey's Anatomy" on Thursday, "The Oscars" next Sunday, "What about Brian" on Mondays, "Friday Night Lights" on Wednesdays, and "Men In Trees" after Grey's on Thursday but not this week ...Oprah's Oscar Show is on instead of MIT !!!! Any cowboy want to dance with me ? :)
-
Are ya'll sweeping the floor and putting the chairs on the table to close for the evening? I need to find out the hours of operation and the best time to come by to check-out the cowboys and eat a bite and have a beer :)

looks like tonight all the cowboys took off about 9...they just don't have the lasting power they used to ... ::)
LOL!!
-
Good Night to ALL :)
good night Doug...thanks for stopping by...hope you will come back?!
-
I'm back.
People do go to bed early around here, I am so glad I am off tomorrow ;D
No waking up at 5 Am :D
-
I'll stop by for breakfast. Hope you have French Roast BOLD coffee :)
Good night....
-
Hey Doug,
I will go find that cowboy for ya!
BTW I also like Friday Night Lights.
Are you still here?
-
I thought all the cowboys had gone to their beds and ya'll were closing up :)
-
never seen Friday Night Lights....
but I am furious with Grey's Anatomy!! See, on Thursdays I have to watch Survivor...and they have been replaying the same episode of Grey on Friday night....so I watch Survivor Thurs and Grey on Friday....well this LAST Friday they DIDN"T show the NEW epsisode!! so I didn't get to see them rescue Meredith!! (if they in fact did...which I am assuming they did since she is the main character!!)
-
Sorry I don't watch Grey's ,
but look what I found
(http://www.country-dance.com/newhtml/topic/LineDancingCowboyOnIce/LineDancingCowboyOnIce.jpg)
Ice skating cowboys :o
They were outside.
-
that'll do I think?? Doug?
-
I understand your frustrations. I look at "Survivor...Fiji" now instead of "Ugly Betty". My newspaper TV schedule shows Grey's 7-8 " Drowning on Dry Land " and 8-9 Grey's "Some Kind of Miracle " ( New).., and then Oprah's Oscar Show.
WOW !!! Ice skating cowboys....ya hoo !!!
-
why do all the good shows have to be on the same NIGHT! good grief! there is NOTHING on Mondays!

I am sure that they will come inside to warm up, it is prettly cold out there, but it does look like they are keeping themselves warm anyway.

Well, well, well... What a nice place you got here Sheriff!! You sure you got the proper permits and all? We wouldn't want Lubbock police coming here and arrest all the hot guys just because they're hot. They might even take you in for posting hot guys pics in other threads! (;))
So, what's the menu? I'd like a beer on tap to start if you may. (Nat sits on a stool) ;D

Apparently, after the hair shaving, she got two tattoos...one on her wrist and one on her hip. The people at the tattoo place said Britney was "nervous and jumpy." Sounds like she wasn't having the greatest day of her life...

Well hello there nat! Welcome ta the "Studs 'n Spurs Bar & Grill". Thanks fer the nice words!
This institution is is the town a BetterMost, Wyoming. Ain't no way the Lubbock police has any jurisdiction here. Nor in the boy's pics threads - which happen ta be just fine as well!
As fer the menu, the main initial menu was posted on the first page. Beer on tap's Canadian "Moose Head Lager", but we do carry yer typical american beer as well.
There's also the special du jour, as posted this mornin and repeated about 7 posts ago - it's Portuguese barbaque chicken served on a bed a rice, served as always with my very popular bean salad! - You hungry?

According to People and other sources, the hairdresser thought Britney was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. When she finished shaving her hair, she started crying, then she saw the photogs wiped out her tears, and smile sweetly as if nothing happened. If this is true, she'll be entering rehab again soon enough. I'm beginning to feel sorry for her, though sometimes I think this is nothing but a bad publicity stunt. Sometimes it looks like Brit and Kevin are competing on who gets more press attention.

Hey...I don't feel warped...as far as readin anythin into what I say...I try to say it right out loud...if I'm not so drunk that I can't speak.
-
Ok I know you don't know me very well...but ask anyone...you can't give me that kind of openeing and not expect me to say something...LOL
Don't be naughty. Besides when I'm working in the back, i'm a mess...
-

Ya know I would try to not be naughty, but flirting and being gay are both like the skin on my back...an inseparable part of who I am...I shall try to not to accost you.

Just got in from volunteering for The Hospice ALL day. Sure could use a beer and think I'll try the famous bean salad for dinner. A high fiber meal would be good for me ;) I hope the server this morning liked my NICE tip I left him. Hope to see him tomorrow morning again ;) I'm glad you hired older servers. I prefer a mature man ;) He had on the nicest shirt and jeans ;) The jeans fit him GOOD in the right places ;) His flannel shirt with the top buttons open was NICE to see early in the morning. The eggs, bacon and pancakes were cooked to perfection and the BOLD coffee was delicious. Is there a band tonight ? Sure would like to slow dance with a cowboy tonight before all of the cowboys go home :)
-
Hi there Doug. Want the special du jour fer supper: portuguese BBQ chicken served on a bed a rice. Domestic or Canadian beer?
-
Hey Marleen, could ya take the orders fer the next little while? I'd like ta step outside fer a little bit - Jess'll be in & out as well
-
Hey there oilgun, come in & set a spell - Marleen will (hopefully) be takin yer order shortly
-
"Hey Mel, can I run up to the Studs n Spurs to cover for Roland?"
(http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/aliceus.jpg)
-
The BBQ chicken sounds GREAT and I will take a Canadian beer...please. WOW !!! I didn't know I felt so tired but the fun of being with you guys and gals should pep me up. Also dancing with a mature cowboy would really pep me UP !!!!! Does the jukebox have WISHES by Lari White ? It has been one of my favorites since I saw the movie BIG EDEN in 2001 and fell in love with Glacier National Park Montana.
-
I think I will just go on home and fix me something for dinner. Sure am tired. Ya'll have a good evening. I'll come by for breakfast in the morning. Maybe the same server will be around. I'd sure like to get to know him. ;)
-
sure hope so - So far all music requests have been fulfilled
Moose Head Lager's on tap - that'll suit ya?
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/amuslineqz4.gif)

If you want something to eat, just let me know :)
-
Guess I have to keep going with the free food.

There's actually a lot of other food around here,
(http://www.elise.com/recipes/photos/pesto-pasta-salad.jpg)
(If I'm not here I will be back soon, I do eat some real food too::))
-
Pretty quiet around here tonight,
OK, I found another cowboy band.

Hot cakes and bacon...I'm in heaven...next to pasta I could eat this day and night
It is a big favorite here too!!
:laugh: :laugh:

*Happily gobbling down pancakes..*
So, what do y'all think about Britney Spears shaving her head?
Y'all think the new look suits her? 8)
(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i285/Lucise/Misc/ab361505.jpg)
lort...that poor girl needs a SERIOUS intervention!!
-
Hi Jess,
You here, great, its pretty quiet here, but I guess people come to see you.
You like the new band?
I agree about Britney, she sure does need some help.
-
Apparently, after the hair shaving, she got two tattoos...one on her wrist and one on her hip. The people at the tattoo place said Britney was "nervous and jumpy." Sounds like she wasn't having the greatest day of her life...
L
I am sure the red bull and the cigarette really helped... :P
-
Jeeze Lucise...you really love givin this good ol boy a hard time...hey ya got a brother?
dang....the rumors are true!! he is on the hunt!! Watch out guys!!!
-
Oh, I don't think I mentioned it. Folks, Not only did Milli (Lucise) create the sign fer our little bar & grill, she's also altered it, so's it can (hopefully) blink in the headlines too.
:-* :-* thanks :-* Milli :-* :-*
it BLINKS!!??
-
As for Brittney...there ain't nothin wrong with that little gal that a few days in a flea dip wouldn't cure.
snap! that is harsh!!
:laugh: :laugh:
-
I'm sure Bryan ya got yerself a version a how the decor was selected, but I'm also confident that the good folks a BetterMost are gonna accept the word a their Sheriff over that of a "tourist passin through" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
not me!!!
so you picked out the decor huh Bryan??
;)
-
The servers here are not big on substitutions and they don't serve breakfast all day...
L
I say if anyone wants pancakes they can have them!!! this is America after all!!
(Leslie you eat pancakes whenever you want!! the customer is ALWAYS right....)

Absolutely!!
so what are your plans for the day??
I actually need to do some WORK since I frittered away too much of yesterday writing chapter 32 of Through The Veil Of Time. Actually, that wasn't frittering, that was practice for my future fiction writing career! However, it is the non-fiction writing that is paying the bills right now, so I need to pay some serious attention to that today.

As for non-fiction, I am the Editor-in-Chief of two professional nursing journals, I do alot of freelance writing, I write grants, do technical consulting and research ...blabbity, blah, blah. And then there was the book that arrived on my doorstep on Christmas Eve, after three years of work...

Only I am not sure if the boys ever ate garbanzo beans ::)
-
The door swings open and in walks Bryan.
At that exact moment, all talks end and heads turn to the door.
Bryan walks in. Sheriff Roland shuffles in his boots as he watches this thirsty jr. ranch hand saddle up to the bar while the bartender wipes a glass and sets it on the counter.
"What you havin" he says in a throaty voice...
-
Are you giving my recipe away again!
Oh Bryan - ya don't hafta make claims on everythin - next thing ya know, ya'll be claimin the bean salad ta be yer own creation!
Oh - & it's a 5 bean salad!!! not three

Bryan looks at the bartender and barely manages to say, "Beer and beans, please."
-
Oh Bryan - ya don't hafta make claims on everythin - next thing ya know, ya'll be claimin the bean salad ta be yer own!
Oh - & it's a 5 bean salad!!! not three

Children ? :) I'll have to watch what I say and how I act if their are children with Mom and Dad... ( Guess I could admire Dad ;) from a distance ). I have already eaten dinner so guess I'll have a Canadian on-tap beer and rest-up for a slow dance with a cowboy :) I'll just sit at a table in the back and check-out the cowboys that come in :)

Figure that I had better get some more desert, I think someone may have finished off the cake,
But for those needing a chocolate fix,
Chocolate walnut fudge :) :) :)

By the way, did you here the news, Tony Blair is pulling out a bunch of British troops, I think about half over the next few weeks. Do you think George will get the message?
Well, one can hope, I guess.
-
I guess no one liked the fudge.
Fine, so here's the last chance for your dessert tonight.

Just a local food and spirit establishment where residents can drop by for a decent meal, a cold one, and shoot the proverbial cowpies.

Yup! Today's special is an old traditional french canadian meal - more popular in Québec than hambergers & poutine! I'm talkin 'bout
Pâté Chinois (a glorified Shephard's Pie)
served with quarters a dill pickles, and of course, a hefty servin a bean salad

Not for me...Mom's parents are from PEI...it was pottié all the way. That and 45's after dinner with some whiskey. God I miss Nana.

Hi Ro...
I'll have an order of the special, please, and a draft beer ALTHOUGH I REALLY THINK IT WOULD TASTE BETTER WITH A GLASS OF WINE!! :laugh:
Oh, sorry for shouting...
L
-
And a Coke - fer Breakfast?!?!
At school, in staff room recently I was actually defendin that very point. Why is there such a taboo 'bout drinkin a soda in the mornin; why is it such an acceptable thing fer coffee ta be the mornin beverage & so "wrong" ta drink "pop"? They both contain caffein and little else.
Then this mornin I (sorta) badmouthed Jess fer orderin a coke with her biscuits & grave - what's with that! Hunh?
And now, this afternoon, they just had a blurb on the radio 'bout the very subject! (coinkidinki, or what?!?!)
Apparently it's more common that we think - 15% of breakfasts are served with a soft drink instead a coffee! And it's on the rise! Furthermore, the coffee consumption at breakfast is apparently on the decline! (though still the most popular beverage) Expect the soft drink companies ta start promoting their product as a mornin beverage in the very near future.
(BTW, caffein content a coke is about half that a coffee - a little factoid I always wondered about!)

I had heard that too...how coke with breakfast is on the rise. I, for one cannot imagine drinking a coke with my cereal or eggs, but then again, I drink very little soda, in general.
White wine on the other hand...LOL...except I have had more beer in the past few days than I have had in YEARS since I have been frequenting this FINE establishment....

Beer will be fine. My Grandparents were from Prince Edward Island (PEI). That dish is a speciality of theirs. As is the 45's card game...which actually has its origins in Scotland (Keda...where are ye). When we were older Nana taught us how to play and would slip us a little whiskey (probably to make sure we slept).

Did they call it Pâté Chinois too? - Unlikely, I guess ... more likely Shephard's pie - but was it served with cream corn sandwiched between the meat & taters? That's what makes this dish Soo much more tasty that Shephard's pie!

Hi there,
Here is the creamed corn soup that you have been waiting for,
(http://www.thomhackett.com/images/Food/cream-corn-soup.jpg)
-
Hey Sheriff
Is it to late to get two specials?
-
Well hello Marlene - just ta let ya know - my Cream Style Corn Soup ain't nothin mor'n a can a cream corn with an equal part milk - nothin more. However, the toasted tomato sandwich Bryan refered to, is the piece de résistance, only cause it's made with freshly picked tomatoes straight outta the garden - those big tomatoes (big boys, or beafeaters) cut in 3/4 inch thick slices (with mayo, lettuce and salt & pepper) are truly fine (simple) tastin food! Somehow, the chefs a the world would have us believe that complicated is better, when simple is Sooo darn good too!
much like the special du jour!
-
Hey Sheriff
Is it to late to get two specials?
But of course not, mon ami(e). And what would you like ta have ta drink with that? Canadian Moose Head lager's on tap & there's bottle american brands too. - Or milk, coffee, or tea?
-
How about a Michelob for me and a Labatt's for my friend?
-
sounds do-able - Labatt's now made by the coors people, and a course, the michelob comes with a purty picture!

Thanks Sheriff this is mighty fine eating!
-
Hi Sheriff,
Wow those roasted tomato sandwiches sound amazing, especially with tomatoes from the garden. I haven't had those in a long time. Must be wonderful ;D
-
Marlene - glad ta see ya - ya the tomato sanwiches are great - but I gotta wait till august before I get ta enjoy em again
I'm gonna call it an early departure tanight - Jess should be making a grand entrance in a couple a hours. Wanna take care a things fer the next little while, please?
-
Sure,
But I have to go for a while to eat some real dinner, and then I'll be back. All the virtual food is great, but I do need some of the real stuff too.
I'll put out dessert soon, just wish we could get more people to come in here.
I guess, well something to get them in besides all that food of yours that I give away ;)
-

Jeez .. ::)
True story. I was having lunch with my mother (a strict Pentecostal) and my sister at the Olive Garden. After dinner my sister ordered a cappuccino. Drank it....we left.
TWO years later my mother is griping about my sister (she had done some little thing my mother disapproved of.. ::) ) and she dragged the incident from the Olive Garden up as a prime example of my sister's decadence...."Well, you saw how she sat there and drank that cappuccino RIGHT IN FRONT of me!" I said "Mom, that is just a fancy coffee" She said "It has ALCOHOL in it!!"
For TWO years she had walked around believing my sister ordered an alcoholic beverage...RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!

Only class I almost failed, so all this french, I have no idea.
They could be talking about anybody ::)

Great, I am glad there was no fighting ;)
But that would have been interesting!

You'll be on yer own again tanight Marlene (It's Jess's night off) - but I'll be around fer a while still.

Personellement, je ne crois pas que c'est nécessaire d'avoir un mot substitu pour "chips". Alors je t'apporte des tacos, et un chopine de Moose Head, tout de suite.

There aren't very many BetterMostians going to this one, but here's a report on them. Pete is already in Bay City, the lucky man. My flight was cancelled so I got up at 3 a.m. for nothin. Got a picturephone message from EDelMar showing me that it's snowing in Ohio where he's driving, and Eric's arriving from San Francisco about 6 p.m. Yee-haw!!
-
Correction, EDelMar just entered Ohio. He sent me another picturephone message of the welcome sign.
Lots of snow...
Happy Washington's Birthday everybody! Another reason to have cherry cake!
-
It's snowing in Ohio? Wow, it is sunny and beautiful here...

Must be the Lake Effect, LOL. Tho I've often thot that Adam creates snow wherever he goes because he loves it so much!! That would explain Denver's many blizzards this year too, since this is his first winter living here.
To Michigan I am taking my laptop, a phone, three cameras (one digital, one 35 mm, one video), a flash, a microphone, and all the various chargers, cables, and batteries that go with them. Do you think I am taking enough stuff?? Nobody was interested in my electronic gear at security, they were only interested in a little bottle of lotion LOL!
-
Hey, that's okay, Roland, I'll just have a cranberry muffin instead. Andy gave me one. You can stop rummaging around in the pantry. Come back and talk to me, I'm stuck here in this airport boarding area!

Wettin yer appetite fer tonight's special - It's a home style recipe (When we were young we loved it as much as steak):
Yo' Mama's Liver
served with mashed taters, okra and sweet pea
and of course, bean salad
When we (my brothers & sisters) go to the restauraunt, and one of us orders liver, usually everyone orders it.
-
Well, Sheriff, unfortunately, I just can't abide liver, so I guess I'll just have lasagna and a salad, with a glass of red wine. Merci beaucoup!

Oh Leslie, I think we've gotta talk about those two again ;). The best deal I can offer you is: you can have him on Mondays, Wednsdays and Fridays. I take him on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Sunday he will be allowed to recover :P
Oh, sh**. Today IS Friday. Leslie, can I borrow him tonight?
New order: one Robert Redford, no liver, no beans and a whisky for this girl here

Good ev'nin ladies. Fish & Chips are on the menu - not lasagna. The special taday's Yo' Mother's Liver but you sure can order from the menu.
The way I heard it the Jukebox's been pretty special fer anyone who's made a request this past week - seems just about everythin's anyone's wanted has been on there.
Good news - Andy's not gonna quit after just one day - seems he likes it here, so I spect he's be back doin mornin duty next week.

We need to work on the menu. Seems like everything I want to eat is not available! No lasagna? I didn't think that was too exotic...
Andy has been making himself scarce and Karen, Pent, and I have these 2 cowboys we need to converse with...so I recruited this guy to bring us a pitcher of beer. Oh, garcon!

I'm so sorry, Sheriff, I'm new here. Would you like to enlighten a clueless girl? Who's Andy? He sure is cute. But since he's no cowboy, I'll stick with Sundance.
And no liver - no way.
BTW: nice etablissement here, Sheriff!

You misunderstood me ;). I'm on my way to bed - and I will take him with me tonight ;D. And don't try to make a deal and offer me this slippery Gere type. No way I would trade Robert for Gere.
I'll send him over to Maine tomorrow, promise :-*
Good n8 everybody

Of course there is lasagna, here it is

That slippery Gere is only serving beer...
In 4 h 20 min it will be "tomorrow" here...got the timer going....
-
Ah, Marleen, thank you!
I have lasagna, I have Gere bringing beer, I'll have Sundance back in 4 h 19 min (I am keeping count Pent...)
Life is good....

Awright, Chrissi - here's the deal -
Leslie can imagine who she wants ta have visit her here (She's got a very fertile imagination) but the menu has been established on page one - and a review a the menu's due this weekend. There's one daily special - everyday a dif'rent one, and as the proprieter a this establishment I get ta decide on that, as well as who we get ta work here - I do the hirin (though Jess sometimes gets that priviledge too, as co-owner a the bar). We have, right now ony one virtual employee (Andy) and one member employee (in Marlene - & she works nights)
So, back ta Leslie - she's a regular here ( & a very demandin one too!) but she only gets ta make suggestions - is all! - about the menu & the staff.
Also, FYI, only beer - american & canadian (and of the canadian beer is Moose Head, on tap) as well as wine - red or white - no hard liqueur available.
PS: It's true that Marleen - in the evenin can cook up stuff that's not on the menu - but she's special that way ;)
-
So glad you like the lasagna Leslie,
Wow all the cute new faces that were here today :o
but how do they manage looking so young when they get in here?
-
Andy will be fine for me !! ;D He looks like he can handle things very well.
-
you got chicken fried steak with gravy on that menu?

Got hot chicken sandwich, fried chicken & grilled chicken salad

Leslie's demanding but she says please, smiles pretty at Roland, and somehow or another, manages to get what she wants. Ro, I think you need to remember the two rules:
Rule #1: The customer is always right
Rule #2: When the customer is wrong, remember Rule #1.
Now, with that in mind, I think Gere needs to bring another beer, and Butch has had his fill of nachos....Sundance is otherwise engaged at the moment. Let me order my blond haired, blue eyed cowboy friend a T-bone steak, medium rare, with all the fixins....
Thank ya kindly, Sheriff...

Oh, what's that Butch? Ya want a sweet potato? Garcon, can we get a baked sweet potato for this good looking cowboy?
-
Here's the baked potato Leslie, just like you wanted it,
See, the extra help in here is a little slow sometimes

Karen- the menu's on page 1 - as I pointed out earlier
Leslie's not the owner - or an employee here ansd does not define the parameters a this establishment
Customers may always be right, (not true - just an illussion) but they don't own the place. They can however stop patronizing theplace if'n they don't like it, though
-
well gee......... guess I'll go find another establishment !

Oh no Karen, just don't pay attention to people who need to show how poweful they are.
Besides I get a lot of the food. ;)
-
Your welcome Leslie,
Enjoy ;D
-
The proprietor has spoken. I thought this was supposed to be FUN
-
It's late at night and I'm tired...guess I'll just be moseying along with my two cowboys...
Catching a Greyhound so I probably won't be visiting this bar and grill again. Been fun while it's lasted, you all enjoy the things I left behind....wine, maybe sausage for breakfast...

They got me workin here now but I didn't know, I have to start coming, any specific times usually?
-
Boy, this place is hopping tonight!
I came in here last night and there wasn't a soul here. Nobody. Only Jess.
I thought you all saw me coming and took off out the back door.
I could develop an inferiority complex around here if I'm not careful. :D

Hey, sweetie...I have a question. When ya'll get snowed in like ya'll were...how do you get paid? I mean...is there like snow pay?

Snow pay?
Are you talking to me Jess?
-

Snow pay?
Are you talking to me Jess?
yes!! LOL...when a big blizzard comes in and you get snowed in and businesses are closed...how do you get paid? I would think a lot of people up there are like down here. living paycheck to paycheck....how do they get by when things shut down?
ok...maybe stupid question...LOL

Well, I do accounting for Gallahue Mental Health Services, a part of Community Hospitals Indianapolis, and I do most of the work out of my house. I only report to the office once or twice a week. So, no snow pay for me unfortunately! But I have NEVER worked for a company that gave snow pay. If they closed down the business for the day due to the weather, everyone went unpaid, unless they had some personal days saved up. Many people are on salary (I am) so it really wouldn't make any difference. We get paid the same no matter how many hours a week we work (believe me, it's not as good as it sounds! They work my ass off sometimes).
I suppose some companies give snow pay, but I have never worked for one. :(

Hello?
Did everybody leave again? ???

Oh good that you had that nap.

Does it ever get real real cold there?
-
Oh no,
I haven't been up there.
Does it ever get real real cold there?
Compared ta texas - sure - but I come from north a here - Timmins when the weather's close ta -40 (celcius & ferhenheit are the same at that point) sometimes. Most Christmases lately have hovered around the -30 to -35 range. So I'm not complainin about the weathere here. Been minus 20 (near 0*F) taday - and colder with the strong winds, but it ain't the norm - been a warm winter so far.
-
I ain't from Texas, never been there.
But that sound real cold to me anyway.
-

you know...since I got on the internet last year I am finding out the oddest things. I mean I knew on some level that people worked at home and all. but I don't know anyone that does that kind of thing. How do they know you are working? What if you came here and chatted all day?
-
Oh well,
I guess I am not going to get any fancy prizes in here.
Okay time for dessert.
Here it is, Cherry Chocolate Cake ;D

anyone got plans for the weekend? I don't....but surely SOMEONE has something exciting planned....we can't all be as boring as me!!
(March now....I am gonna be running every weekend! Got the gay rodeo on the first weekend....a horse show the second...a team penning on the third... :P)
so I guess I should relax and enjoy the peace and quiet huh? LOL
maybe I will get out my script and listen to some more of the Creation that Andrew sent me!
-
CUSTOMER SURVEY!!!
Ok....we are reworking our menu! Here is your chance to let us know any preferences you may have. We have added a limited wine list (from a local winery). and we are adding pizza. Let us know what you would like to see on our menu.
-
So glad you like dessert ;D
I do not have anything exciting planned.
Wish I did.
-
you didn't say where you are?
-
Yeah I did but it got lost in all the big excitement.
I'm in New York.
-
New York!! well good grief...you are way off at the other side of the country.
everywhere sounds so much more exotic than my little corner of the world. In the city or out in the country?
-
Where you are sounds exotic to me.
I've always been around here, except for a while other places.
I am close enough to the city that there are lots of people and lots and lots of traffic, but I am outside of it, so it is a pain and takes a while to get into the city.
But there is no country here, no empty land at alll.

shoot. there is nothing here BUT empty land. I was sitting at a red light and I could see the big buildings downtown just barely above the tree lines...and I was IN town...(the big one near by) the town I live in is very small. One yellow light and one red. TWO convenience stores!! one is a combo video/gas station/restaurant...LOL They have sixteen videos for rent. Just added some DVDS...yep we are moving on up!
-
Wow Jess,
Amazing how different the place we live in are.
I don't think I have ever even been in a place as rural as that.
Maybe upstate NY, but thats not the same as that.
Have you ever been to NY?
-
lort no...been around Texas...been to New Mexico once. Oklahoma a couple of times and Arkansas...and been thru the south to Florida twice. That is the extent of my traveling. (I think Ennis traveled more than me)
-
ok....this is how far out in the country I live....the nearest Walmart is 23 miles away...
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Hi Jess,
Got your message and here I am! This isn't doing anything for my pile of receipts I'm supposed to be processing! Any chance of some aftenoon tea?
-
ok....this is how far out in the country I live....the nearest Walmart is 23 miles away...
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I'm about 40 km (about 25 miles) from the nearest post office and shops. Add another few miles to the nearest traffic lights!
There's a couple of service stations between home and the nearest town but they don't sell much apart from petrol.
-
Hi Jocelyn!!
Glad to see you...Marlene this is Jocelyn...she lives in Australia...SHE travels...

Jess, I tell you the truth, I have missed him so bad it hurts!
I will be really happy once he gets here tomorrow. He has a loooong flight ahead of him though. He should be boarding his plane in about 4 hours (10:00 am London time).

It's Saturday aftenoon here David so it's not so bad! I haven't been waiting too long for afternoon tea.
Unfortunately I have to do my GST taxes quarterly and also have to do another return once a year for the normal taxes. Small businesses here get drowned in paperwork! LOL

He took an interest in Bettermost the last time he was here. But he never did join once he returned to England. I'm gonna ask him about that tomorrow when he gets here.
It would be great if he would join, wouldn't it?

Yeah, he told me if he decided to join, he would call himself "Britguy". At least I think that's what he said.

No Jess, the foaling season is almost over here. I'm just trying to get the last of my mares in foal for next season but the weather has been playing havoc with their cycles. 40oC one day and 20oC the next. The poor girls don't know if they're coming or going !LOL
-
You run a farm over there Jocelyn?
Oh, I LOVE animals!!! :D
-
How many babies are you expecting this season Jess?

Jess will be back in a minute Jocelyn! I think she's over at the Feed Store for just a quick minute!
Hey there Katherine!!! :D
-
good grief!! are you using the free international cards from Phillip??
Nope! Do they count for Europe too?
Maybe I should look into that deal.
-
Hey there Katherine!!! :D
Hi y'all! Wow, you can't be sneaky around this place, hunh? ;)
This is my first time here, checkin things out! Nice little place ya got.
-
You run a farm over there Jocelyn?
Oh, I LOVE animals!!! :D
Yes but it's not a very big one, only 40 acres. In fact I desperately need more acres. I breed Andalusians and Miniature Horses (about 30 all up) as well as a full time off farm business - keeps me busy. Oh, and there's also my family! - Scottish Deerhounds (4) and Borzoi (1). There's photos of all of them scattered about the place here. Martillo, my Andalusian stallion, is a mascot for Jess' Feedstore!
-
How many babies are you expecting this season Jess?
we WERE expecting three (only one of our own) but one mare aborted ....so we have two coming up....
funny one mare is a maiden....looks like there is nothing there...the other has had a few babies...she looks like she is carrying triplets ::)
-
Nope! Do they count for Europe too?
Maybe I should look into that deal.
DAVID!!!
Argh!! I can't believe you haven't been using them! they are just going to waste!
yes they work for England....sheesh....LOL

Martillo. I LOVE that name! I think it's a great name for a stallion! :D
Nope Katherine. You can't sneak and peek from me! I keep my eye on all the names! :D
Yeah, it's a cute place isn't it?

Mares have a habit of fooling you. I've had the same thing here. Some you'd swear aren't in foal and others look about ready to drop from 3 months onwards.

You know, for awhile there, I thought she was Dutch! haha. I thought she was from Friesland. Then I found out her name was in reference to horses. :)
But 3 people isn't bad! Maybe there will be even more here soon. :)

I think they work FROM the US to Australia....should I check? :-X
:laugh: :laugh:
I can just see me calling...with my sense of time it would be like two in the morning!! LOL!!!

here you are, Katherine...I know I know...I am the slowest hostess on the planet...LOL...
Marlene is TEN times faster!!

One Canadian for Katherine...where do you live Katherine??
Thanks, Jess! Oooohhh ... Nice and frosty.
I live in Suburban Chicago at the moment. I grew up in suburban Minneapolis. After college, I moved from there to a very small town in the Red River Valley near the North Dakota border in northwestern Minnesota, then a smallish city on Lake Superior in northeastern Minnesota (Duluth), then New Orleans, then New York City, then back to New Orleans, then back to Minneapolis, then here. Oh, and I spent a couple of slacker summers in Ketchum, Idaho, back in college.
So I've tried a little bit of everything: Midwest, South, East Coast, West, town of 8,000, city of 9 million, and a few places in between.
-
Ooops! Sorry about that. I got sidetracked.
Katherine! I never suspected you drank beer! I always thought of you as a Tom Collins type of gal! :)

Katherine has been around!! good grief. I can't imagine. I moved around a lot when I was a kid...here in Texas...but I can't imagine moving now. What would I do with all this stuff??! I don't think there are enough boxes in the world to move all this mess....

I have lots of family in South Louisiana; Houma and New Orleans. I go down there all the time! :)

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Not for the past 31 years, David! Once I turned 18 and could start going into bars legally, I put my Tom Collins days behind me!
How about you?

I can attest it gets much harder the older you get. When I was in my 20s and 30s, it was difficult but fun. This past move has been much, much harder. We've been in Oak Park a year and I'm still not sure how long we'll hang in here.
I have lots of family in South Louisiana; Houma and New Orleans. I go down there all the time! :)
I love it there! I haven't been back post Katrina, though.
-
David, your relatives were there in the hurricane? did they do ok?
-
I love it there! I haven't been back post Katrina, though.
I was down in New Orleans last Fall for my Aunt Destine's funeral.
It's difficult to look at. No question about it. But they are slowly returning to normal. They'll get there! You mark my words. NO is a great city! But for now, there is still much suffering and misery in many parts of town; especially Jefferson Parish, and a few others. It's hard to look at. :'(
-
David, your relatives were there in the hurricane? did they do ok?
I have relatives scattered throughout South Lousiana. Yes, they were there during Katrina.
They suffered property damage, but all are getting back up on their feet. That is Louisiana for you. They bounce back. They always do! :)

Or I think even more often waiting to spend the money the government HASN'T sent down.
I want to go back there in the next month or so and see what's going on. I worked at the newspaper when I lived there, and much as I was glad to not have to be part of that chaos I was also a tiny bit wistful that I was missing such a big historical moment. But the history really isn't over, and the community is far from recovered.
How about you David? Planning a trip down there anytime soon?

Oh Yes Katherine! I will go back down there.

No, I understand. On New Year's Eve, my family dined at this really old restaurant in Denver in which every inch of wall space was covered with an animal head. The menu was also pretty meat-heavy. It was not the best New Year's Eve for my 10-year-old son, the vegetarian.
I've gotta go, too. See y'all later!
-
Good mornin y'all
The kitchen's open (not that it's ever really closed :D )

No it's quite common in restaurants throughout North America. But since I don't care fer seafood, I've never ordered it. Don't even know if it's actually fish that's bein served or shrimps & the likes - I'll need ta ask Jess - She made the menu!

surf and turf...usually refers to shrimp with a sirloin down here..and yes it is the BIG meal at a lot of restaurants...the one that is the most expensive....
-
why I do believe I see David wandering about out there....killing time before he has to go to the airport no doubt...
-
Just got back. He's upstairs taking a quick shower! :D
Hey Jess!
-
Congrats on your 10,000th post too!
Wow. 10,000. That's like a billion. Or a zillion! 8)
It might as well be. I'll never get there, probably. :-\
-

I've also seen some restaurants around here include a lobster tail with the shrimp on their surf and turf platters. :D

-

Of course I did! :D
He did too, btw.
I read the flight schedule wrong though. He left London at 8:00 am London time. Not 10:00 am. It didn't affect his arrival time here though. Those flight schedures are werid and I get confused sometimes. haha. It doesn't take too much to confuse me! :D
-
Alex said their descent into Indianapolis was VERY rough. They really were tossed around as they were landing here.
Poor Alex. I think it shook him up a little. :(
-

That is so sweet. makes ME want to tear up. are you planning on ever going over there to see him? Have you ever traveled out of the states?

Ooops! Alex is finished with his shower. I'm going to give him his early dinner. He's hungry.
I'll be back on later! :-*

GO!! Have fun...give him a hug for me...(as if you need an excuse!!) LOL

BLT = bacon letuce & tomato sandwich
surf = seafood

Surf and Turf is common in Oz too. It's usually a piece of steak with a variety of fish pieces, prawns, calamari, oysters and scallops (not all of them at once though). And it's usually the most expensive thing on the menu!
BLT here stands for beetroot, lettuce and tomato.
-
I'm sure there are folks out there wonderin when the special du jour was gonna be posted (sorry fer the delay...). Today you can choose ta order:
Grandma's Meatloaf
served with taters, fresh slices a cucumber, tamato, sweet pepper and cauliflower
and, of course, the house specialty, bean salad
Bon appétit

You hungry?

Hi de ho!
been out readin some limericks. This guy "lachlan" posted a whole limerick on the game (not protocol) but a good one:
Del Mar, in his youth, had missed
The opportunity to sin or be kissed
Til, neglecting his sheep,
He got pissed before sleep
Then awoke with his tail in a Twist.
Lachlan
Went on ta read his "previous posts", startin with his very first
Was well worth it - find some time ta read the first 2 or 3
-
Hello Bryan - It's been a few days!

Hey Marlene...Roland...I am just doing some housecleaning in my inbox!!
:P
(I have 3000 in the outbox!!)
-
Well it's been fairly quiet taday, at the bar & grill - (not surprisin really - things are always slower on weekends)
Bit of a conversation with David's friend comin in ta visit from England, and another conversation involvin discussion a the meanin a the menu (BLT, and surf 'n turf) but otherwise, not much food dispensation - been slow.
The real action taday happened at the feed & tack store (in Our Daily Thoughts) - that's where we celebrated Jess' 10 000th post!
-
Hi Jess,
Wow I owe you a real big congratulations, 100000000, amazing.
Congratulations ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Hey Marlene...Roland...I am just doing some housecleaning in my inbox!!
:P
(I have 3000 in the outbox!!)
I believe that that may be what slows down yer computer & kicks you outa chat so much
I only had 20 pages (at my worse) in my outbox, and 14 in my in box - they're both close ta 10 (each) again
-
*Jess switching from doing house cleaning to flooding Roland's inbox!!*

Marlene - she's talkin ta ya - & they don't show up again after she deletes them - It's a figure a speach.
Her threat ta flood my inbox sent me clearin a couple a dozen messages (I like ta keep 'em fer about a month, but lately, I've been receivin & sendin so many that it's gettin hard ta keep it down ta 150)
Anyways - got room fer another 50 more messages from Jess before I'm feelin over loaded again ;D

Hey Marlene! Hey Jess and Roland!
Alex took a little nap and now he's awake. We're watching "Beloved" right now. That's the movie that scared me to death so bad I had to turn it off! He wanted to watch it tonight.
We are having the WEIRDEST weather right now. It was supposed to rain today, but instead it started sleeting around 4:00 this afternoon. I'm gald it held off, otherwise I would have had a very difficult time getting to the airport to pick up Alex.
Now it's snowing and thundering outisde! Lightening too! What's up with that? ???
It's a thunderstorm but it's snowing instead of raining. Weirdness.
-

one of the scariest days of my life was a day when it was sleeting and lightening like CRAZY and Don and I had to put out round bales...(those huge rolls of hay?) It was sleeting...so I was so cold I couldn't feel my hands...just clumsily forcing them by sight to cut the strings...but DON was up there on top of that metal tractor and it was lightening and thundering.... just terrifying and weird.
Glad ya'll are safe and warm inside....and Alex is there to protect you while you watch that ol scary movie!!

Nope! I'm not gonna watch them. I still mad at them. >:(
Roland, I have several TV series on DVD too; "Everybody Loves Raymond". "Six Feet Under" and "Wings" just to name a few. I watch ELR all the time.
But all these other movies come in handy when friends stop by. They always want to watch a scary movie. ???

you ol reprobate!! ;)
Who you calling "old"? ;)
But at least you got the "reprobate" part correct!

-
Ya probly already told everyone else, but tell me; how'd the two of you meet?
Alex and I met each other on CompuServe about 15 years ago. His family took a vacation to Florida a couple of years after we met. I drove down to Orlando to meet him. We remained friends over the years, but after I broke up with Cory last Fall, Alex came to see me for a visit and, well, the rest is history!
We've known each other a long time.
-

It scared the fire out of Alex as they were landing in Indianapolis this afternoon. VERY BUMPY! He kept feeling the jet dropping from under him, and it was rocking back and forth and bouncing around. But they landed safely. A couple of hours later, the sleet started. :P

And what on earth are you doing spending your evening here?? Alex has flown half way around the world just to see you, nearly scared himself to death while the plane tried to land in a storm and you're sitting there talking to us???!!!!!!
Hmmm, Jess, Roland, I think you need to take David to one side and give him a little talk about life's priorities! ::) ;)

-
Yup - comin right up. How's yer weekend been?
My weekend so far has been fairly quiet. Evan and I are looking after Olivia until later this morning when her grandma picks her up. We went 100km out of town to take her to a synchronized swimming competition where she placed 2nd in her category. Olivia is 9 y.o. She's currently at the dining table playing games on the apple laptop. We're all still in our pj's
-

-

He was saying how two people got into a fight in the store and wrestled each other to the ground, breaking a few chairs in the process! Not exactly civil behaviour for a family establishment. But everything is alright now...or something like that :-X

Evan? Olivia? who are all these people?
100km? the things we do for the little ones. I miss having a little one around. Mine doesn't need me to take him anywhere...tell her I said CONGRATULATIONS (all the way from Texas!!) :laugh:
then tell her I asked "Weren't you cold??!" Roland said it is still freezing up there!!
-

DUDE...I am getting a Dell... :)

If I cloche them, they'll go in the ground in May no later then June. Will be difficult to keep up harvesting them by August. Will plant my usual 16 plants with a few extras for fancy dining. :P ::)

I just plant about six so we can have green tomatoes. The birds usually get them before they get ripe. (I am the only farm wife I know with a black thumb)

Evan is my partner. Olivia is the daughter of Matthew and Patricia - close friends of ours. 100 kilometres. It was in an indoor swimming pool right beside a hockey arena! Olivia said, "No. I was so nervous that I didn't notice."

why do my post numbers hardly change. It's been 44 for a replies now? how mysterious!!?? ???

Have you tried covering them? Have you ever used landscaping cloth? I'm thinking of maybe getting some red-coloured landscaping cloth and planting the tomatoes overtop them this year. Heard that the red colour will help increase their overall health and ripening process but that maybe all sales talk.
-
Is that little Olivia? She is gorgeous...what a sweetie! awww...
I miss the little ones...
wait...her parents trust YOU to be responsible? Have they talked to Roland?? :-X :-X :-X
:laugh: :laugh: ;)
(just kidding...he hasn't told me about the week in 1999 when you and him were....oops!!...I mean....uh.... :-X )

haven't heard about the red thang...HAVE thought of getting some netting to put over them. I have heard of people using Newspaper as a ground cover though to help hold moisture in. We are in a drought down here. Last year I didn't even try to put a garden in. We lost most of our pastures and will need to reseed. (assuming the rain comes back) we had a good January but we are down again this month.. :P
Might try the newpaper thing...if I DO put a lot in...
-
Why it's because of Roland that we get to have her company. hehehe Actually, I think Roland has only met them once.
Oh yes, 1999 - the Summer of Love!
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
So how long you and Evan been hanging out together?

Sorry there Marleen, don't know who 'they' is! Also I'm unfamiliar with 'wi fi' so II really have no idea what you're talkin about.

I dont know who they are either.
Wi fi is just internet flowing through the air, my computer always asks my if I want to connect with it and i always say no, but something is wierd with my plhone ,
so I connected with this wireless network thing, but I don't really know if is safe too, but I felt lost w/o the internet now so I tried it and it worked, I just don't know how secure it or insecure it is. :o I have never done it before;
-
I don't know - I really don't.
However, if it was me, I'd probly have said yes too. But I've got a friend I can turn to if'n I really mess up. Hope you have yerself a Bryan ta help you too ... :-\

Andy works the mornin/day shift - specials are fer the (mostly) evenin menu, when Jess or Marleen or I work.
We tried ta have a cowboy work one day last week (Thursday, I believe), but the poor man couldn't handle the special attentions 'certain' customers were givin him, so I hired a slightly younger 'Andy'.
Can Andy get ya a cup a coffee, of orange juice - maybe some pancakes?

Oh I'll settle for coffee and a browse thru your back catalogue of pictures (with with I am seriously impressed, my heart skips several beats at the thought of what you can't post ;D) it's skipped several at what you can!

Came in here for a cup of java, but I couldn't figure out that dang gum coffee maker. Too many buttons on it. Good Lord, you'd need a degree from NASA to work that thing. Why'd you all buy a coffee maker like that for?

Money's on the counter.
Ya'll have a good night. :)

Ummm Roland,
What is a rutabega????
-
Ummm Roland,
What is a rutabega????
Jocelyn, I THINK it's a type of turnip.
I'm not sure though. I've heard of them before, but I don't think I have ever seen one.
I feel like I just fell off the turnip.... errr... rutabega truck. :-\
-
Ummm Roland,
What is a rutabega????
David's right - Only learned this myself recently - All these years when I thought I was eatin turnip, was eatin rutabega!
Turnips are the size a apples (little ones), whereas rutabegas are large like a really large cantaloop - basically a poor man's turnip (they're also a little less sweet than the turnips)
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/v-rutabaga.jpg)
-
Is there beer in the beef stew?
-
and I quote, "Much confusion surrounds the origins, even the identity, of turnips and rutabagas, or "Swedes," for a long time. They are distinctly different species.
Most varieties of turnip are white-fleshed and most varieties of rutabaga are yellow-fleshed, but there are also white-fleshed rutabagas and yellow-fleshed turnips. Rutabaga leaves are smooth like cabbage leaves, while those of the turnip are somewhat rough, with sparse, stiff "hairs" over them.
The most significant difference between them, however, is in the make-up of their mechanisms of heredity, the structures of their individual cells. The turnip has 20 chromosomes, while the rutabaga has 38. And thereby hangs a tale-the tale of the origin of the rutabaga."

take a deep breath and here I go (again):
Turnip (Brassica rapa) is of ancient culture, many distinct kinds having been known to the Romans at the beginning of the Christian Era. Some of those varieties bore Greek place names, indicating earlier culture and development by the ancient Greeks.
In the first century Pliny described long turnips, flat turnips, round turnips. He wrote of turnips under the names rapa and napus. In Middle English this latter term became nepe, naep in Anglo-Saxon. One of these words, together with turn ("made round"), became our common word "turnip."
Man appreciated the usefulness of the turnip during the prehistoric development of agriculture, and the plant was so easy to grow in so many places that it became widely distributed all the way from the Mediterranean across Asia to the Pacific.
The European types of turnip, our commonest kinds, developed in the Mediterranean area. The basic center of the Asiatic kinds is in middle Asia, west of the Himalayas. There are also two secondary centers-eastern Asia and Asia Minor.
The European type of turnip was grown in France for both food and stock feed at least as early as the first century after Christ.
In the England of Henry VIII, turnip roots were boiled or baked, the tops were cooked as "greens," and the young shoots were used as a salad. (In parts of our South today turnip leaves for greens are called "turnip salad.")
The turnip was brought to America by Jacques Cartier, who planted it in Canada in 1541. It was also planted in Virginia by the colonists in 1609 and in Massachusetts in the 1620's. The Indians adopted its culture from the colonists and soon grew it generally.
Since colonial times the turnip has been one of the commonest garden vegetables in America. It is primarily a cool-weather crop, suitable for summer culture only in the northernmost States or at high altitudes.
European varieties of turnips are biennial. One Oriental variety commonly grown here, however, called Shogoin, will go to seed in its first season if planted in the spring.
A few varieties of leaf turnips (no enlarged root) such as Seven Top are grown only for greens. The leaves of the turnip are usually rich in the minerals and vitamins that are essential to health, but the roots have a relatively low food value. In this country the roots are usually eaten boiled, either fresh or from pit or cellar storage. In Europe kraut is commonly made from the sliced roots.
Rutabaga Also Called "Swede"
Rutabaga (Brassica napobrassica) gets its name from Swedish rotabagge. In England and Canada it is commonly called "Swede," or "Swede turnip." The French called it navet de Suede (Swede turnip), chou de Suede (Swede cabbage), and chou navet jaune (yellow cabbage turnip). It was known in the United States about 1800 as "turnip-rooted cabbage." Although common names suggest a Scandinavian origin, this is not certain.
Rutabaga was apparently known on the Continent many years before it was grown in England. It was little known in England in 1664 when it was grown in the royal gardens. It was used for food in France and southern Europe in the 17th century. Both white and yellow-fleshed varieties have been known in Europe for more than 300 years.
The rutabaga requires a longer growing season than our turnips, but, like the turnip, it is sensitive to hot weather. Its culture is therefore confined largely to the northernmost States and Canada and to northern Europe and Asia. It is a staple crop in northern Europe, but a minor crop in America and in the Orient. It is more nutritious than the turnip, chiefly because it contains more solid matter.

Now Bryan, you know I don't give all a my secrets ...

Hi Bryan...Roland and Garry are picking on me!!! I am THINKING about getting a new computer...but it costs $600!!

$600 sounds like a great deal! It's the price of a good pair of handmade Italian sandals so - go for it!
-
and I quote, "Much confusion surrounds the origins, even the identity, of turnips and rutabagas, or "Swedes," for a long time. They are distinctly different species.
Most varieties of turnip are white-fleshed and most varieties of rutabaga are yellow-fleshed, but there are also white-fleshed rutabagas and yellow-fleshed turnips. Rutabaga leaves are smooth like cabbage leaves, while those of the turnip are somewhat rough, with sparse, stiff "hairs" over them.
The most significant difference between them, however, is in the make-up of their mechanisms of heredity, the structures of their individual cells. The turnip has 20 chromosomes, while the rutabaga has 38. And thereby hangs a tale-the tale of the origin of the rutabaga."
ROTFLMAO!!

OOOO !! OOO!! ME ME ME!!!
Well, the truth goes like this...
It was a lovely snow-covered December Sunday morning when I went to visit "he who shall not be named" who remained in his house locked away like a june bug in aunt Tilley's root cellar when I suggested that we go see, "Brokeback Mountain" for the first time. At that suggestion, he acted like I poked him with a red-hot poker.
"He who shall not be named" tore around the house, kickin and screaming and putting up a such a huge fuss that I thought he would throw a hairball but, with a lot of persistance we were soon out the door and on our way to the theatre.
One hour later, after I paid for the tickets and his large pop and popcorn, "He who shall not be named" was crying silent tears and that, folks, was the start of a beautiful thang....
-
and on that note, I'm out of here for the night. Good night everyone!
Bryan :)

G'morning all
Breakfast menu's up and Andy's (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice005.jpg) ready ta take yer order
Bottomless cuppa coffee's the rule here.
-
David's right - Only learned this myself recently - All these years when I thought I was eatin turnip, was eatin rutabega!
Turnips are the size a apples (little ones), whereas rutabegas are large like a really large cantaloop - basically a poor man's turnip (they're also a little less sweet than the turnips)
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/v-rutabaga.jpg)
Ahhh, Thank you Roland and David! I'd never heard of them before. By the way, cantaloops are called rockmelons here.
-
Rutabaga Also Called "Swede"
Thank you Bryan!!! Yes we have swedes here too! Loathe them with a passion. Hate turnips too.
-
I thought I'd offer up the special du jour early again yaday. Actually it was mentioned yesterday in exchanges withe Bryan, since it's his recipe (ehich he posted, and then deleted :()

I went last Thursday and heard Reba McEntire give an excellent performance after the rodeo events concluded. Hope all is good with all of you. I look at several of the threads everyday sometimes several times a day but seldom post :)

Hey Dev
sorry we missed you this morning! That sounds like the weather I am having...kinda nice to be the envy of our northern friends...(cause about June we are gonna be wishing for some relief!)
We have been invaded by bluebirds and wild doves! they sound so nice in the evenings just sitting in the trees and cooing softly...
-
oh NO!! not the liver!!
(just kidding, Roland!!)
;D ;D

Well, good ev'nin Jess - Ya don't like liver? with gravy and onions - You should give it a try ...

Got bad news 'bout the escort taday ...
transmission??

Roland?
you still there??
-
transmission??
That's right
Another 1 500$ fer that (and second hand parts at that!) added onto the other recommended works that was suggested (1 200$) and, not ta mention the offensively high insurance costs - decided ta junk the car.
I'll be usin the public transit in the immediate future - Knew I would eventually - fer the amount a use I get from the car - ain't worth it anymore.
Will be postin a few pics a the car in the "Great White North" thread, as I did earlier taday ...

yep, that is what did in my 98 Escort! Good thing you didn't put that $1200 in it THEN find out about the transmission... :P
sorry Roland...I know you didn't want to buy a new one til next year.

Hunh? I thought you said you still had yer Escort! And you got the buyin of a new car wrong: don't expect I'll ever need ta own another car. And for the moment, I really can't legitamize ownin one again. Can always rent one fer trips, or special occasions.
No I'm gonna reduce my pollution a this world, and save money (if not time) and will prob'ly get healthier fer all the walkin I'll be doin instead. - *thinkin positive thoughts here*

no I traded in my Escort on a Focus....I could have SWORN you said you were thinking about replacing your car next year.
at least there is public transit where you live, down here there is none.
I don't think I want to walk the twenty miles to town... :P
I am glad you are working on staying positive there!! LOL>...it is true, as expensive as the insurance and all. renting one when you need it might be ok....
-
Guess Mimma (& Lilli) felt pity fer me in my time a woes - offered me supper - just went over there ta get a plateful a food (They live 2 doors away)

Hi Ednbarb!!

Don't tell anyone, but... I have no idea what it is either. Apparently Texans know what it is and enjoy it, so do try it when you travel down Texas way.
-

okra is NOT weird! It is very good! good grief people!
I can't believe you don't know okra!

some pics and opinions of okra...
"We love okra, but we know that it is one of the most polarizing veggies we offer--people either love it or hate it. Well, even if you don't like its taste, you surely must agree that okra is a beautiful plant."

Might just take it off the menu in the future ...

Ummm, Jess, Could you please translate. :-\
Maybe I should put in an order for pavlovas, dampers, lamingtons, chocolate crackles and vegemite sandwiches. Preferably not all together!! ;)

Oh well, if you insist on putting it that way Roland, I suppose I'll have to give it a go just for you. But you'll have to promise to come and rescue me if I end up in hospital with food poisoning!! ;D
-
Hey Joce, you know I'd do just that in a jiffy (if'n I didn't have my fingers crossed behind my back!)
For the curious ones out there, the temperature stayed quite high (compared ta the last 2 months, anyways) overnight. Sun came up and it was still 11 C (52 F) and it will hover around that tempeature all day (through drizzle, sun & heavy rain), allowing all but snowbanks ta melt. However, freezin temperatures are expected overnight tonight. :(
-
It's that time a day again ...
Taday's special du jour is
Rodeo Ribs
served with mashed taters and greens (no okra, promise!)
Enjoy!

And you expect me to be willing to try it after reading that description?? :o :o :o
I promise you won't have to look at a raw one til AFTER you try a fried one!!
then I will show you a raw one...

As you could tell by some a ma postings, I got up at the time ya all went ta bed (as has been the case lately) Even got up earlier than the day before, cause I missed ya all by less than 15 minutes then too!! But you went ta bed earlier than the previous day, and history repeated itself! Then I returned ta bed fer three hours this mornin. But I'm up now!!
-
must be nice to just sleep and get up whenever you feel like it...not like poor me; having to work all hours....*sigh*....poor Jess...so overworked...
:laugh: :laugh:

Well I did read the last pages in the store, so I'm quite aware a yer views a the value of a good (satisfyin) hard day's labour. So - no sympathy from this devil!
Otherwise, who's doin yer chores taday?
(BTW, found it int'restin how Dennis and you manipulate Jeff inta openin up. Sounds like a grand symphony)
-
Got ourselves a coupl'a inches a snow here in TO (Toronto) too. Guess I get t a take advantage a not havin ta shovel earlier than expected - actually believed that we had done with the snow fer this year!
Still, this gives me an opportunity ta display both the snowy looks out my front door (a foot off the floor) and an early look-see at Thelma, Louise & Jess - didn't ya say ya wanted ta see em grow from barely root size? (They've actually grown mor'n an inch in the past week)

not sure what you mean by this....I am reading it as you being diapproving. You think we are mistreating Jeff? I think it is a good thing that he learns to talk about things that bother him...we are not plotting against him.

Not at all disapprovin - just sayin ya seem ta know how ta have 'em open up, and ya seem ta be workin in tandem - you & Dennis (like a grand performance) ta achieve the objective of givin him an outlet.
BTW, as I recall, both Thelma & Louise are tall specimen, so think a yerself as the one on the right :laugh:
Just took me another photo - of a special plant - gonna post it in 1 000 + post club thread - be a few minutes in readyin it.

Changed ma mind - decided ta green up this place too
Here's a plant that Bryan gave me a few years ago (really just a giant clover leaf plant - but appropriate fer St. Patrick's)
Found out the secret ta a successful growth was simply givin it lots a light
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/memine/toronto/07-03-17-01.jpg)
-
thought I'd give the plant a few things ta give it's size some perspective - Each leaf is about the size a the top a the cup - and when in full light, they're near twice the size

Hey You got "Dance with my Father" by Luther Vandross??

I'm not sure, but I think "Dance with my Father" was from his last album before he died - so it was a recent release - no I don't have it - but I could prob'ly get it easy enough. (though frostwire)

They were saying recently on the radio that in the past 100 (?) years, it has only happened twice, that there was not some snow in April - So, the plants know how to protect themselves, and the potted plants come back indoors!
Told you already that our tomato growing season doesn't really begin until late May.

I've been invited ta Bryan's fer Easter dinner

Told ya - we don't get in trouble here in Canada with silly american laws
A number a years ago, the music industry was not successful in stopping the sharing of music on the internet - so until the laws change - sharing is still legal (or at least, is not illegal) here.
-
no I meant when is school out?? D and Jeff are out Thurs and Fri..
Catholic school - Good Friday and Easter Monday are no-school-days. Think the public schools only get Friday off.
-
when I was a little girl we got the whole week off...now they have a seperate week they call spring break and we just get a couple of days off for the holiday.
I am not patient Roland....I want to start picking stuff outta the garden.... :P

That's fine - been preparin left-overs & eatin ever since you came a visitin.
Talk ta ya later in the store, maybe ...
-
So this is the place you wanted me to visit? Will I get an update as soon as you post a reply Roland?
-
Whatdaya mean an update?
You wonderin what's what in my life?
Well I'll start with - my car done gone & died! Transmission - would cost too much ta repair, so I'm public transitin it now (and for the forseeable future. - How's that fer starters?!)
-
I mean't update, as in does your reply to me automatically come up on the screen or do I have to continually hit refresh to check for new posts? Remember friend, I'm not used to all this, it's been a while since I was around and I don't know how it all works.
Anyhow, sorry to hear about your car, but surely public transit in the big TO is not that bad eh?
B.
-
You might also have noticed there are a few more forums than before - the 'Anything Goes' forum's been pretty busy these past few months and so we've split it up inta 3 forums includin the new 'Arts & Entertainment' forum, and the 'Current Events' forum - both of which I'm moderatin (got me 4 forums now! - plus I'm the Sheriff a BetterMost, Wyoming - not bad fer a french canadian, hunh?)
We'll all be able ta get ouselves an address in BetterMost, Wyoming soon too - with clickables & stuff.
I've also started 'My Great White North' thread in the 'Our Daily Thoughts' forum with pics a my visit up north last summer - here's THAT link:

Yup ya have ta refresh - or press 'show new replies to your posts' just above the date near the top
& yup, it's not so bad ta TTC (Toronto Transit System) it. Just have ta give myself an extra 20 minutes ta get ta where I need ta get. It's a lot less expensive, and a lot more environmentally friendly.
-
Well that all sounds pretty cool. So glad that things are progressing well here at Bettermost and that you're keeping busy...... seems like you're occupied day and night! ha.
I was talking with Scott, moremojo, and he's doing some of the Colorado trip I believe. Sounds like a really great gathering. will you be doing the Alberta trip this summer Roland?
B.
-
In other home brewed news - I'm now less than a year away from retiring - March 31st! ;D
Got me big plans fer the front yard - flowerbed wise
Got me plans (but haven't acted on em yet) ta travel ta Alberta fer the pilgramage, next july
What about you? You still living in that trailer? How many hours a payed work you puttin in these days?
-
I'm sure you're looking forward to retiring next spring, sure as hell wish I could, but that's just not going to happen for me. I'm heading to Ontario in May for a quick visit to my parents in Kingston, then back home to my new job. Come may I'm going to be the Innkeeper at a Country Inn about half an hour up the road from my place. I'm still living in my tincan palace. Would like to buy an oceanfront property in the next year or so and will build if I have to. Time will tell, it's going to depend on my income over this summer.
I can't stick around too long tonight, but it's good to catch up with you.
B.
-
So happy to hear that you're doing the Alberta pilgrimage this summer. I'll want to hear all about it, I'm going to be very, very jealous!
B.
-
Roland,
I gotta head back home, have to get up early tomorrow and head out of town and then be back for work at 6pm. I'll catch up with you again soon.
Take care in the meantime, all the best to you and all the regulars.

Well with Easter comin this weekend, got a four day week (two days left) this week, a four day week next week (easter Monday's off fer catholic schools), then comes my last tournament (so basically another 4 day week - followed by a four day week cause a some pedagogical development day!) - that'll take us up ta May!!! Yee Haa!!

Tasted great too, but the main dish (of which I didn't partake) was salmon steaks - there was also jumbolaya, some arab ball (I forget the name right now) and, fer desert, banana bread and a kinda black forest cake concoction. They don't call it pot luck fer nothin.

I've had trouble guessin the images too (strange though how, with just a few words we're able ta describe exactly the scene from the movie!). Was able ta agree with one answer so far, before the whole picture was revealed, but it was someone else's answer so I didn't chime in, publicly.
(don't mean I'm handin in my membership card!)

Well I haven't seen the movie in...Lord...almost 8 months. Not even scenes.

which is only 40 weeks a YEAR!!!!

A few years ago, the teachers were asked to fill out a survey concerning the number of hours they put in in a typical week (actually, it was an hour by hour survey for a specific week) - the results of which indicated that the average teacher put in over 50 (55?) hours a week. When spread out over the year, it was calculated that teachers put in just a bit more time one the job per year than the average (full time) worker.
Now let's talk about the TYPE of work involved. Ever hear or burnout? Teachers don't remain teachers long - the retaining rate for new teachers is quite low. The stress levels are quite high. You don't think the summer months are needed by the teachers - try getting rid of them & see what remains of teacher retention then!
OK I'm getting off my soapbox now - gotta finish class preparations before leaving for the day.

Hee hee!!
oh I got him all stirred up this morning!!
Heck, there is no way in Hades I would be able to teach school....I'd be whipping every kid in sight before lunch the first day!
Bad storm here....gotta get off the computer...

heck I COULD do a lot of things...but I will just post in here instead! :laugh:
(I mean, why be productive if I don't HAVE to be?)
Here is a question I have had for a while.
Let's say you have a job as a stripper....and you wake up tomorrow to find that the aliens have done arrived.
Would ya go to work?? Seriously! I mean, I can see it if you are a doctor or a cop or a soldier...but the stripper??? come on!
I'm telling you right now...if I get up in the morning and there is a big ol spaceship blocking the sun...I ain't going to work! Period...don't even care if it is a payday!!
-
and if the aliens DO come...and they are nice (and reasonably attractive) and I have to decide on one food to give them?
chocolate

David used the word 'kinetic' in one of the ABC games in Social Events...KINETIC! What? how in the heck did he think of that? I am never playing Scrabble with any of the people up in here.
Everyone has a HUGE vocabulary!

Hallo! Are you open for bizness? I just pulled an all-nighter. I could eat a camel!!
-
Hallo! Are you open for bizness? I just pulled an all-nighter. I could eat a camel!!
I been up since 4:30 myself (would be 2:30 yer time!) and noticed you were up & postin everywhere! What gives? hunh? What's the all nighter about? Is it work related?
Just check out the menu on the first page & I'll fix ya sumthin to eat (sorry - no camel on the menu!)
-
Actually it would be 4:30 my time since I'm stuck in Eastern time presently, trying to get back to where I belong and not having much luck! I had a couple of hot buttered buns for breakfast thanks to you, so I'll forego the camel. Thanks for sharing the spotlight with my mountains and such.
BTW, I passed thru Toronto last evening...they wanted to keep me there overnite but I said send me somewhere anywhere in the US! And I ended up in Philadelphia. Feel much more comfortable here, Canada is too damn clean. ;D
p.s. I waved your way.
-
OK - two steps back please!
WHAT????
Where you comin from to be passin through Toronto - And why didn't you take a nice taxi ride towards downtown along the Queensway at sunrise?!!? (On some pride day way back when, the sunrise between those towers were cathatsic (sp?) fer me - won't ever forget the ''living postcard" view a that on my motorcycle - Toronto skyline is truly beautiful)
Anyways, yer prob'ly much happier in Philadelphia than here (though I've been to Denver, & I remember it as bein mighty clean as well)
The Studs & Spurs Bar & Grill is always open fer business!

MORNING!
I am still sleepy...so don't be expecting me to stay up all day.....LOL!

I am just mad at these people that want to blame their kids for not being perfect when their kids are being raised with THEIR values!!
You didn't raise them...I didn't raise them! THEY raised them! if they don't like how they act it is not the kids' fault...

Nice ta hear from ya - Feelin fine (bit of a hearburn from the veal sandwich last night).
This is my looong day of the week with 2 supervisions and 3 dramatic arts classes! so I will not likely be lurkin much during the day.
Your knee - 500 pounds - yea sure! try maybe 25 lbs! But if it's sittin on your leg fer any legth a time it could be just 5 lbs & that would be too much. Talk ta yer big galoot & tell him you'll wake him up next time ya catch him restin on one a yer piers.
-
Good Mornin!
Whew doggie am I hungry!
Now that i found the menu, I think I'll have the Bacon, 2eggs (scrambled w/cheese) and pancakes with Sweet iced tea.
Thank you kindly!

good morning Lee!!

Roland I was thinking twin beds... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Morning everyone! About a foot of snow on the ground here... I'll just have some dry toast today. Tryin to recover from the unagi bowl I ate for dinner.
Jess, you have to get a big pillow and put it between you for the galoot to throw his leg on instead of you.

Geez you're up early, Roland - does this place ever close?!?! Thanks for the coffee. I'm glad to see the weekend upon me...maybe some relaxing will be possible over the next few days.
P.S. I take my coffee with lots of cream - half * half if I can get away with it. And Bailey's for special mornings like anniversaries or Christmas. :D
How do you like yours?

Well seein as you'll be comin ta Canada soon, get use ta the expresssion 'double double' (cream & sugar) - it's apparently a Canadian thing
Yup I'm up early - been up since 2:30 this mornin (check my postin history)
The question is how come you been up fer the last couple a hours? hunh?
Really like yer Alberta pics - where'd ya get em from?

How do you order double cream? No sugar for me, thanks. :) I just spent the evening in the Denver BBQ chat and now am wide awake...it's the weekend, so at least I can sleep in if I ever get there. Listening to BBM Radio and rating some tracks - I haven't done that in awhile.
Very glad you like the Alberta pics - I wondered if it would somehow detract from the experience rather than enhance??
My friend Gary and his fiancee Shelia visited Alberta last summer - that's when he asked her to marry him. This week he sent me a disk with 510 pictures on it! I thought I might pick out a few of the best scenic ones and post them every day or so until the trip if people like them...I really don't know what's what - no labels or anything. I think they spent most of their time around Banff, though.
-
Postin a picture a day keeps em comin back ta look see (I've been doin that fer the better part a the last year!) - Keep postin !
Dunno if there's a shortcut way of orderin double cream ;)
Ya have a good time with yer chat then?
-
Good Mornin there Jess
Got a Can a Coke with yer name on it. (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/coke03.jpg)
Will ya be wantin bacon & eggs with that?
-
Yep! gimme gimme...
so what you been doing since the last time I talked to you...when was that? like last month or something?
I see you found some OTHER girl to chat with!
pfft!
SHE can't get you to 4000!

hahaha - Sure she can! She's posting at the kinda time I'm up!
Yesterday (as you well know) was a PD day - had ta travel one hour by charted bus from our school to get to the destination, so even though I left home about the same time as usual, the 'work day' only started at 9 am - ended at 3:30, got back to school 'round 4:30 (in heavy traffic! - slowed us down)
Then, as I had promised to other staff members about a month or two ago, we went & had a drink to celebrate the demise of our hated former dictator principal. Word came down last week that he was doin so poorly in his new school that he'd been removed from his post and demoted to 'teacher support staff' - We had suffered him during 2 and half years - his new school managed only 5 months! Think the higher-up's are finally getting the picture that it don't pay ta have teacher dissatisfation - but of course, the real problem is with the superintendent herself - she expects way too much & the principals don't have the backbone to tell her 'NO'
So I got home only at around 6:30 pm last night & napped - then went ta bed real early - without bothering with supper.

You know you are not supposed to go to bed on an empty stomach! No wonder you were up at 1:30!
Men! ::) ::)
-
Nice to see you celebrating someone's misfortunes though! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
You mean thing!
sounds like you had a fairly good day though you seem to have wore yourself out and neglected me...
;D ;)

Weren't hungry - had some french fries at the bar - still haven't had breakfast (exceptin coffee)
You understand don't you that last night's one glass a beer was the first one I've had in years!
And BTW, the former dictator principal was there yesterday, shaking hands with all his former colleages from my school (boy do we enjoy trashing him)
Pierre, who's just become a father, was congratulated by the dictator principal, and Pierre responded by congratulating him too - on HIS promotion - haahaa
-
ya'll are wrong and you know it!
just COLD!
and freedom fries are NOT a dinner!

Don't know nothin bout freedom fries, but 'french fries & a beer' was my supper last night - and I slept well, thang kew very much.
What are your big plans fer taday - this one a yer days off?
(finally havin my usual breakfast a banana & cereal)
-
back when France didn't go along with Bush's plans in the Middle East there was a big push to get people to stop saying 'French' fries and instead call them 'freedom' fries (to prove what a patriotic American you are)...some restaurants changed their menus ::) ::) ::)
good to hear you are eating a bit better this morning..I am leaving here in a few moments to go watch a friend compete in a horse show...
not gonna stay all day...just going for moral support..
-
you see the pictures I posted in the store?

Excuse me! - But we don't support BUSH!! here in Canada. We usta be America's best friend (and biggest trading partner), but when Canada took the step of not participating in the illegal invasion of Irak (in spite of Bush's comment about 'you're either with us, or you're against us'), Canada was snubbed by the American administration until we voted in a minority 'conservative' government. Britain became America's greatest friend. We happen to agree with the french, and don't believe in 'friendship fries', thang kew very much.
We don't approve a bush, never have, never will. - don't think that much a the rest a the world does either ..
-
you see the pictures I posted in the store?
Yup - you take good pictures - like the swamp(?) or pond picture the best. Can't say as I'm impressed with the rainbow, though.
-
I think I'll have some Bicuits and Gravy and some sweet tea and a cup a coffee!
I gotta big day planned. Takin a couple of truck loads of crap to the local good will.
Gotta start gettin things cleaned out. Then i gotta do some yard work and finish my daughters tree house.
Whew! I'm gonna be beat! :P

only about 30% of the US people approve of him...and 99% of THOSE are just approving to support the OFFICE of the President...not the man.
Man I can't WAIT for him to get outta of there....there is movement to get him impeached. Lort if ONLY!
-
Good mornin there Lee - ya stoppin in fer breakfast - or ya just wanna cup-a-joe, and a good read?
OK - I see ya posted yer request while I was typin - Didn't even know biscuits & gravy was on the menu - gonna see if'n I can find ya some.

swamp yes, I don't know if you can see it on your computer or not but in the lower left hand of that pic is a log COVERED in turtles! LOL!
no the rainbow didn't come out very good and it only lasted a few seconds...it was a brilliant red, purple, silver and kind of green when I first saw it but by the time I could pull into a parking lot to take the picture most of the color had faded. I don't remember ever seeing that before...a spot of bright color like that.

Wow that looks great! Can I have some sweet tea too? I have ta go help a FRiend get his plumbing straightened out today, hopefully I'll learn sumthun about plumbing. It's been a hard winter here and a few of our pipes are cracked. Including the one leading from the hot tub! Shit, that's hard! I filled it all the way up and the water all ran out again!
Hey, Lee, hello and good mornin from Lee! Are you named after Robert E. Lee, same as I am? It's a southern thing, I guess. Say, isn't that sweet tea supposed to have milk in it??

Hey Lee,
No, not after Robert E. Maybe i should tell people that though!
Ewwww NO! No milk in sweet tea. Maybe if you were having a cup of hot tea.
My Grandparents are Scottish and they have milk in their tea. But they have hot tea.
-
Hey there Jess - Guess what I'm doin tamarrow ...
hint: Bryan's not comin over...
-
hmmm...well if Bryan is not coming I would guess you are NOT going to be working in your yard (which woulda been my first guess!)
-
hmmm...well if Bryan is not coming I would guess you are NOT going to be working in your yard (which woulda been my first guess!)
Yea well ya still didn't guess, now did ya?
I'll be goin ta Bryan's place. He's been lookin around fer a place ta help me acquire a cowboy hat and he found a place near his ... They're closin shop - sellin everythin at mark-down prices. He said they were sellin shirts & hats (hope ta get me some belt, maybe some boots too).
So, a major shoppin adventure tamarrow - won't be online quite as much.

Resistol
Could just go ta Mark's Work Wearhouse ta get a 15$ straw hat, but it's likely ta be one size fits all. Since I got me a small head, I can't just pick just any hat - one a the reason I NEVER wear baseball caps - they always look way too large on me.
I'm thinkin a youngish Ennis hat - the other kind's (later Ennis) too much like the hats my dad wore.

They weren't the same?
I think of an Ennis hat as the one he wore on the mountain.
Another bit a news, Bryan related - he's tryin ta grow heritage quality tomatoes indoors from seed. I think he's startin too early, but, what can you do ... We'll prob'ly end up buyin a buncha plants like we always do (Last year the store screwed us up - got a bunch a plum tomato plants instead a the really fat ones, beefeaters, I think)

as short as your growing season is I know I wouldn't bother with seeds!
-
Well it's already tamarrow here, so I had better call it a day.
Thanks fer comin over fer a late chat tonight. Sorry about Garry not seein you and missin out on another chat in yer store.
-
Hey! Try on casual straw...if the price is right, you might be able to get two!
Good night Roland
sweet dreams!
(I see he is back!)
He has slipped the leash and is running wild!
-
Hi Roland,
Does this place serve hot cocoa? Proper cocoa, not drinking chocolate. It's a chilly evening here and a cup of cocoa would be lovely!
-
Jeeeez - people are always askin fer such specific items ... I'll see what I can do.
Hi Jocelyn! :)
Been reading yer rants in the store this mornin - bad news 'bout the hay prices. If Jess's eyes are buggin out, and she's been goin through a three year drought, near puttin her in the poo house, guess it means your hay prices are outrageous too!
Anyways, back ta scroungin fer some proper cocoa ...
-
Best I could do on such short notice.
here's yer hot homemade cocoa (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/hotcocoa.jpg)

Hey Guess what I've been doin this mornin (& yesterday morn) while readin & postin & searchin all these toast & cocoa images?
-
clearing pms??
washing dishes?
shopping Ebay?
googling singles sites?
looking at porn?
-
now where did he go?
musta got a call and had to go quell a disturbance somewhere...

And those were not substantiated anyways ... ya never even proved ya carried em in yer store - ever!
No I've been listenin to some a the over 200 songs - pre 1950 songs - I got off BearShare before they closed shop - Got em over 2 years ago & never listened to em to properly organize em (you have any idea how long it takes ta listen to what was originally over 500 new songs? - gets tiresome! - specially the pre 1930's songs.)
Not ta mention exchangin PM's with mel bout Gordon Lightfoot
-
OOOO!!
you got "Sink the BISMARK!" ??

I had a CONFESSION!!
-
OOOO!!
you got "Sink the BISMARK!" ??
Course I do, but I don't have time right now! Doin PRE-1950 music right now!
I had a CONFESSION!!
Confession alone don't make it real - the man's a known liar - and attention grabber!
-
you quit sassing me!
I thought "Sink the Bismark" WAS pre 50s...
jeez!
-
you quit sassing me!
I thought "Sink the Bismark" WAS pre 50s...
jeez!
Sink the Bismark - by Johnny Horton, hit the pop charts on March 13 1960, reached #3 during it's 18 week run on the charts - finding exactly what date it peaked would take a little more time, but it's doable!
That kinda information I have available at my fingertip in a matter a moments (cause I'm properly organized on such matters)
Next question ...
-
I am gonna leave you to it....need to get something done...if I can stay out of bed (cause that is where I want to be!) :laugh:
bye
xx
(have fun shopping if I don't see you before then!)
-
Wasn't sure where we talked about this, but ... didn't find a hat ta my satisfaction - they were pretty well all dark - except fer the straw ("When we get ta drinkin & talkin") variety. Bought a pair a boots - found em unexpetedly comf'table - and a belt - both light coloured.
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/memine/odds%20and%20ends/07-04-29-01.jpg)
Please note - the three first tulips are already showin (in the flowerbed closest to the sidewalk)
-
oooo!
NICE!!
Them is some cowboy boots!!!
Great job there! I am impressed...
-
Beaudacious boots! Not too fancy, not too plain...just right!! 8) Hope you find a hat to your liking so you can be a cool Brokie dude from top to bottom! Would love to see a photo of you in them!! (You wouldn't even have to be naked and beating on shirts with a stick to make me very happy!!)
Question: On the name of this fine establishment, to what does the word studs refer to? I know what spurs are, but studs I'm not sure of!!
-
now Lee...you know what a stud is!
stud = stallions, hunky men...

1- I'd have ta have someone take the picture fer me - don't (think I) have an automatic on my camera. Bryan won't be over fer prob'ly another 2 weeks.
2- The name a this bar and grill is a slam dunk rip off of a series a calenders (3 years worth) who's photos I was featurin fer well over a month on the cowboy picture thread around the new year.

No!! I thot you were referring to those things that stand 18 inches apace holdin up my roof!!

Awright - here's the scoop
studs = hot guys
spurs = what cowboys wear on their boots
studs 'n spurs = hot cowboys
Math was never a hard subject fer me
-
It's just that I've had some strange experiences with ordering in restaurants. On my honeymoon, I went into an ancient palacio in Florence and ordered a plate of pomodoro because, well, I liked the way the word sounded. So the waiter delivered...a plate of sliced tomatoes!
Be that as it may, I'm gonna throw caution to the winds and order...the special!! And I'd like a side order of spurs with that, pretty please!!

Good Mornin y'all.
Sun's comin up ta normal temperatures in TO. Be sunny here fer the next forseable future - bout 16 ta 18*C (61-65*F) - perfect fer blossoming tulips - and indeed they have started openin up here & there. A few years ago it was so hot that the whole tulip season lasted less than a week - but with this kinda weather they could be around fer 3 or 4 weeks! - pictures ta come in 'My Great White North' thread.
It'll be a busy day, so Andy (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice.jpg) will be handlin the overflow taday!

(I KNEW that would throw you off your schedule! I am so bad! :laugh: :laugh: )
-

-
Good Mornin Jess - the sun's comin up without me this taday! I only got up 20 minutes ago and am still groggy thanks ta our late night chat yesterday.
It's promissing to be an excellent day again taday (Am just not in the "gorgeous day" kinda mood - yet!)
Bryan said he's be over to do some yard stuff, so I'm expectin company, maybe even this morning.
-
good morning
I am up but plan on going back to bed later!
got a HUGE leg cramp....worse I ever had! still sore from it. :P
sorry you are groggy! I was bad keeping you up so late!

sorry you are groggy! I was bad keeping you up so late!
I kept me up - not yer responsability!
Leg cramp? - as in muscle cramp? - from all the sittin around you did yesterday?
I'm up now - tryin to catch up to the overnight postings (mostly from dottie)
-
think it was a combo of the sitting and the up and down that steep set of stairs. That announcers booth is almost two stories high and the steps are almost a ladder they are so steep! :P
-
Sooo - other than the eye candy, how busy was the day?
How rich did you get with those little black marks you did on the white paper?
And what time are the boys expected back?
-
made $175.
pretty slow actually...we coulda got done an hour sooner if people hadn't been arguing with each other. There was a contraversial call and the announcer and the sign up lady threw a fit. I told them both-we are getting paid to announce and keep score and sign people up....what difference does it make what the judges decide? but no...they kept on til the directors stopped the thing and had a meeting in the office with them.
::) ::)
I guess they didn't get that the longer we were there the less we got paid per hour!
-
Well 175$ doesn't sound all that bad, even if you lost an hour towards the end of the day
Did you get much weedin done in yer garden this weekend? I count how many dandelions plants I pull out from the lawn daily - try fer 25 each time - did 100 yesterday!
-
Irving Berlin, huh?
I heard of him before.

weeding?? what is that??!
:laugh: :laugh:
not a lot of weeding. I have started cutting the turnip greens down to the roots. something got into them and ate them up. I salvaged some but most got thrown away. that took more than an hour...and I still gotta finish them...then I am gonna put down some more sevin dust.
-
Irving Berlin, huh?
I heard of him before.
You know that song I sent you last week .. "Cows May Come, Cows May Go, But the Bull Goes on Forever" ... I'm finally getting to hear it right now... What do you make of it?
Irving Berlin's other stuff - Blue Skies, Easter Parade, Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better, Always, Marie, Heat Wave, Change Partners, Doin' What Comes Naturally, I've Got my Love to Keep Me Warm ... and he lived to the ripe old age a 101! - and He was a crusty, mean old man fer his last 30 years.
He dies in 1989

now why you calling HIM mean? First me and now Irving! you are just fussy cause you didn't get your nap out!
LOL!
I haven't heard that song yet. we had a thunderstorm last week and I had unplugged this computer. Today is the first time I have had it on in more than a week.
(In fact, I am downloading 'Beautiful' as I type!)

You should go check out the following link in "The Lighter Side" - "Do You Recognize The Picture""

I don't expect the boys before noon.
BTW Jeff paid for this trip himself. Not any more expensive than the prom was for the other kids (once you figure in THEIR motel rooms and clothes and flowers and limos)

Have you ever heard the song "Manhattan"?
It was recorded by Ella Fitzgerald in the 40's(?) and apparently Rod Stewart's recorded it lately ...here are some of the lyrics:
WE`LL HAVE MANHATTAN
THE BRONX AND STATEN ISLAND TOO.
IT`S LOVELY GOING THROUGH THE ZOO.
IT`S VERY FANCY
ON OLD DELANCY STREET YOU KNOW.
THE SUBWAY CHARMS US SO,
WHEN BALMY BREEZES BLOW TO AND FRO.
AND TELL ME WHAT STREET
COMPARES WITH MOTT STREET IN JULY?
SWEET PUSHCARTS GENTLY GLIDING BY.
THE GREAT BIG CITY`S A WOND`ROUS TOY
JUST MADE FOR A GIRL AND BOY.
WE`LL TURN MANHATTAN INTO AN ISLE OF JOY.
Well, I just listened to a 1925 version of the song by the biggest artist of the 1920's and it sounds Sooo "roaring 20's" - it's an instrumental (1925 version) I haven't heard a lot a roaring 20's sound in the 1920's music - songs like "We're in the money" & "The Original Charleston"
This was a fun find!
Want me ta send you a copy?

Awright Jess - Bryan's gone. He's happy with how the place looks neater, not so much about how the plants are growing.
About the e-mail I've sent, ya want more - Bryan arrived unexpectedly early (he usually calls first) so I wasn't able to send you all those songs from the 20's I was planning on sending - including: "California Here I Come", "Sweet Georgoa Brown"and one of my favorite songs from the era, (but not a 'roaring 20's' type song) "Gimme a Little Kiss, Will Ya?" Did I send "Happy Days Are Here Again"? - can't remember ...

hey you got any Reba McEntire?? I have a song I think you will like. She is VERY countrified but she has a beautiful voice and puts out ballads sometimes that are very nice. I am thinking right now of "The World Didn't Stop (for My Broken Heart)"

-
you know, making CDs are not as easy as it first appears. Oh yeah actually BURNING them is easy (I learned how to click and drag!! :o ) but deciding which songs go where...and with what....THERE is the question!
I have no idea...other than I put a CD in and think to myself "Who made this CD!! That song RUINED the mood! It doesn't go at ALL!"
LOL!!
like this CD I want to make right now...I want to put all the songs I BOUGHT on one CD.
I Have
From a Distance Bette Midler

Just saw this post (was busy sending you e-mails, and answering the last posts you were writing)
Those 5 songs you BOUGHT fer nothin - I'm pretty sure I have each and ev'ry one a them!
Told ya! Ya need ta check with me first!
-
but I DID ask you about Forever Young!! You said you did not have it on your computer!
and some of those other ones are country! you said you don't have a lot of country!
don't fuss at me! :( :'(

I also told you I've got over 350 CD's that I have to download back onto my computer. I've started with the oldest stuff (1900's - 1950's). Made a special download of Billy Joel & Bob Seger just for you, but otherwise, I'm up to CD #109 - the Elvis CD's.
Actually I have those 5 songs on CD and it would take a special effort to put em back on the computer (takes about 45 minutes per CD!) So you prob'ly would have had to wait ta get em - Good news though - I'm almost done with the 50's :)
-
what? It only takes my computer a few minutes to put a CD on!

for another day??
:laugh: :laugh:
(I got to thinking, I guess if you did it right and catalogued them and all would take a bit longer than just sticking it in there and letting it go!)
-
for another day??
:laugh: :laugh:
(I got to thinking, I guess if you did it right and catalogued them and all would take a bit longer than just sticking it in there and letting it go!)
Gotta figure, I got these songs some 7 years ago, so when I upload them from the CD's there's no information except "Track 1, track 2, ..." I have most of the information already written out on the sleeve I made 7 years ago, but not all the information - one bit of information has ta come from books.
Another complication comes before all of this ... my main computer uploads songs in an audio format (don't know why, Bryan won't fix it for me!), but my other computer does upload in a mp3 format - Sooo, I upload em on the other computer, and transfer em up to this one (the main computer) before I type up all the information you see (artist, name a song, highest position reached, weeks on the chart, first week charted)
Then I gotta sort em out on the computer - if I've got mor'n one copy (sometimes it's already on the computer) and they're different quality, gotta listen ta find out which is best - which to keep which to throw away.
And how to organize - gotta have a system ... Over time the system's been adjusted many times (for example, what do I put first, the name of the artist? the date it first charted? even where do I leave spaces between information ...) and as for organisation, by year? or by artist?, or both? How about by decade? does 1930 belong with the 30's or the 20's?
Like I said - long story...
-
but sounds like you are enjoying it!
Garry is on...you gonna come say hi??
(cause you know he ain't budging!) :P
I am fixing to leave myself....gotta appointment in the garden!

Yes I am enjoying it - it has been my hobby since ... forever! (even before I could get all the songs, I had the charts, and organized a book on the matter)
Sorry, I won't be joining you & Garry in the store. (haven't even posted my daily pictures today) I had planned on putting Jess, Thelma & Louise in the ground this evening, and the sun IS going down - so I had better get to it.
While I was outside taking pictures fer Bryan, I also took some long shots of the front yard (now that the grass has been mowed) - will be posting them in 'My Great White North'

-

No, but still a fine day. He usually has little gifts (CD's, t-shirts ...), but not today. A lot of the day (I felt) dealt with problems at the championship level of Improv, or strictly high school stuff.
This afternoon we got to see a play (or part of one) that will likely be offered to our schools next year. (was pretty good) Being less than a year away from retirement, I find that most in-services are wasted on me ...
-
New day, new adventures, new challenge! Gonna be sunny again today though they're saying there's a smog advisory (which is great {not!}, cause I gotta work outdoors most of the day - see the tack & feed store fer explanations) and thunderstorms overnight. This warm weather's gonna shorten the colourful life of my tulips. but other plants have plans od showing - the flox, the bleeding hearts and another blue flower plant who'se name I don't know.
Anyhoot - Bar & Grill's open fer yer breakfast needs (and yer gossip!)
-
Got anythin for a funny tummy?
I might have a had a bit much Whisky last night and I'm a bit queesy this AM! :P
Speakin of flowers, I've got some beautiful Iris' going now. Most everything else though died when we had a cold snap. I lost about 4 azaleas, my Hydrangeas and my butterfly bush! :'(

Well maybe you should step back from the thread that's bothering you.
I don't care to argue my point to death - can't be bothered (usually to bettle each point of an argument) so I tend to make my point, and let others do the back 'n forthin of the arguments. Like the point I made about posting birthdates in the banner - said my piece as best I could & stepped back. People are quoting me (or not), but I'm outta the discussion & that's fine with me. Same thing with this hate crime discussion - I'm stayin out of it cause I don't like defendin my point beyond the first statement, if I stated my case well enough, it will be considered. Don't think the arguments brought forward will change my point of view, but my point of view is out there.

No Big plans here. Work today, then tomorrow do some yard work Gotta cut the grass, trim the bushes and weed the beds. Then edging,then I have to fix the shutters, one of 'em blew plumb off in the last wind storm we had.

Been a weedin week (dandelions! :P ) Front yard's hardly got any thanks, no doublt, ta years of dilligent work! Not sure that anythin special's gonna be happenin - a little too early fer tomato plantin. Might start redoin some of the borders. The irises, (the really short ones) might pop out this weekend - saw some heads this mornin. Can't wait till I'm able to tear that flowerbed apart - it's invades by frasses - they're practically stranglin some a those plants. Also notices this mornin that the giant alliums are down to just one flower head this year - had 3 or 4 last year - another case of death by strangulation (too many plants - too little space).
There's the bell - gotta go
-
No body here??
Guess I will get my own Coke then! (and see if there is any chocolate cake left)!!
-
Well Hello there Jess - long time no see - or is it the 'Return of the Living Dead'?
Big bucks spent ta let you know yer fine - well at least now you know - Fit as a horse ...
Glad ta have you back!
-
I am such a idiot...feel SO like a fool.
oh well...too late now! LOL!
and you know I didn't WANT to be sick but....
I am glad to know though, and Don is happy.
-
Had Don been better - about being on your case & all?
And the boys? Seems it's been a while since we've heard any news ...

Don is ALWAYS mean to me....making me get up in the morning...making me do chores and stuff. I want to be one of them kept women that don't have to do nothing but sit around and eat bon bons!! Don't think I ever even HAD a bon bon... >:(
the boys are doing good; busy with all the end of school stuff....lots of get togethers and meetings and banquets planned for the next couple of weeks. They are helping with banquets they aren't even going to! LOL!
-
And how's your weed garden? Been posting pics at a rate of 2 per day. The next two, that I took on Wednesday, are not tulips. The black ones (tulips) are coming out pretty fast now, on long stems, but the flower heads are really small - think I'll wait a little before I take a picture. Then there are the Irisis - saw a few heads of Iris coming up on the dwarf Irisis this morning - may even open up by the end of the weekend ... though they are surounded by really ugly grass.

-
400 more huh??
How can we make this here thread get 400 more posts?
Well we can start by having breakfast, luch & supper conversations - maybe have a party - invite some a the occasional visitors ... just last night, Lynne & Wayne made rare appearances ...
Or we can just get up there gradually, like we've been doin these past few weeks.
-
alright...they all sound like good plans...I will follow your lead then!
-
Maybe we could start doin the
special du jour:

Hey, I just read the nutritional facts on the side a my diet cola drink - only got 15 mg (1% of daily value) per cup (250 ml)
the Pepsi got less salt (10 mg) nut a whole lot more sugar!
here's a huge surprise - Heinz tomato juice: 770mg (32% of daily value) of sodium per cup!!!
Sooo, since ya don't have any problem with yer sugar levels, here's yer Coke!

-
Don't have a can a coke ta compare to, but I found an ol can a diet coke
salt's higher than the other two that I quoted: 50mg (2% of daily value per can 355ml)
I'm pretty sure water (preferably tap water) 's better fer ya though.
(can you tell we're doing nutrition with some a my classes these days? ::) )

So Jess - ya said ya were gonna have a nap - 12 hours ago - What have you been doin taday?
I've put in another border (first one this summer) around the tall variegated grass on the south (right - when looking at the house) side of the stoop. Usually I put a border to keep the lawn grass from spreading into the flowerbed - in this case, the tall grass had invaded (some 10 inches) the lawn.

Went outside just now ta take some pics - even though there ain't much happenin.
However, I came back with over a dozen pics - mostly close ups that I will post (twice a day) in "My Great White North"
But fer now - just a pic a the border work I did this mornin - still needs some attention - the lawn part looks gastly!

Been really consistent with pulling out dandelions (100 per day) and it's beginin ta show - though I still got a long way to go - and you know after the dandelions, there are a couple a other invading weeds I always lose my battles to! :-\

I am sure you have these kind of places up there too....most eateries are in well populated areas but occassionally you will find a mom and pop place out in the middle of no where? Either has fantastic or totally disgusting food...rarely anything in between. Fold up chairs and roughcut lumber tables...wax cloth table cloths.
There are some little fish places out by various lakes that have the BEST fish on the planet...the decor lacks a little...'refinement' but dang the food is good!

Yup - yer describin 'Flapjacks', in the middle a nowhere on highway 10, right near the exit fer Bellefountain - a picturesque area with a ton a motorcycles anytime a the spring/summer/and especially fall. The first time I went there, was some 25 years ago - I went as a buddy rider on the back of a large Honda, before I got my own motorcycle. Place specializes on all day breakfasts includin, you guess it, pancakes. They also sell homemade bread, pies and jams. And there has always been a line-up ta get in - even at 3 in the afternoon!

Actually was a pretty smooth day ... Yea the grade 5 teacher called in sick a little late, so his supply teacher arrived about an hour after the start of the school day. I supervised his class fer 5 minutes before the Health class and another 15 minutes afterwards, until his supply arrived - not a biggie.

Nope, no more pics on reserve ... Went outside ta see what might be worth photographing today and, cause a the lack a sun, and the lower temp'ratures, the growth's been slowed down. The lilac trees in the neighbourhood are way prettier than mine.
Might be a few pics this weekend - lillies of the valley, double buttercups and the first irises (6 of em) have finally opened up, but otherwise ... :-\
-
Yes!
I now join the ranks of ID theft Victim!
Just what I need! :-\
oops....sorry about that Lee...I NEEDED some new stuff! ....I mean....uh....That is a shame!! ;D ;D
(seriously, that stinks! >:( )

Do you know if it is just the credit card or is it more than that?

dang, There has been two police officers shot this afternoon over in Henderson County. Domestic dispute of course...
another got shot and is in critical condition.

Right now it seems like that is all. I have an alert on my credit reports so they can stop it if any one tries to open a new account. Ya have to pay a fee to have your credit monitored incase they do anything with your existing cards.
The credit card company called me. They are being very helpful.

Yup! Yer right!
But it's also part & parcel of the job. Like being in the army, the chance is always there ... specially in certain societies.
A couple a years ago, there were 5 RCMP's shot dead in one real unfortunate situation out in Alberta. Worse case in Canadian history!

Good mornin folks .... TGIF
And here in Toronto, it'll be the start of a l-o-o-o-n-g weekend thanks to "Dollard des Ormeaux" and what he did way back in 1660, but of course, English Canada celebrates Victoria Day - some old queen that dominated the British Empire (includin the Dominion of Canada) a couple a centuries ago ...
Cold this mornin (5*C) but it's expected ta warm up for taday & for the weekend.
Cold or warm, yer Bar & Grill is OPEN fer business as usual ... a place fer ya ta get a cold one, a decent (virtual) meal, and the oportunity to shoot the proverbial cow pie.
All are welcome!

Pretty much same old, same old. It's a light day (except fer that dreaded lunchtime supervision!!!)
The really nice class (grade 6) who were just awful yesterday, are not allowed Gym taday. I prepared a health class fer em.
Otherwise, day should be OK.

well we DID have to wait for the swelled heads to go down before we could get in the car....
;D ;D ;D
those are MY boys right there!
I knew Jeff was hustling for scholarships but lort! He cleaned up! all those little ones add up...came in third in the class...very proud of him.
D was eleventh, still in the top ten percent..
-
WOW!!!!
The swelled heads were mor'n just the boys I bet. So taday was a memory makin day, as I'd hoped this mornin!
-
I was afraid that he would be disappointed to not make valedictorian (came down to less than ten points seperating the top three!) but he says he is relieved he doesn't have to make a speech!
D got an award for his 4H and FFA activities and a $500 scholarship.
I was very proud...DON on the other hand is strutting... ::) ::)
You would think he birthed them both all by hisself!
-
Well you can be sure there are gonna be a bunch of us cyber parents who are also reeaaaaal proud a those two boys
I have an idea as to what the 4H is (somethin ta do with raisin animals or some farmin thing) but I haven't a clue what the FFA is.
You mentioned the 500$ scholarship fer D - but your keeping me waiting on Jeff's many awards and scholarship ...
329 back
-
I gotta take off...my aunt is here for some garden picking....be back in a little while! Sorry!!
(lost track of the scholarships....quite a bit!)
-
so anyway!! Jeff has been hustling those scholarships. I think he has the first year paid for and then some! I was impressed.
He also got an award for math. And for the FFA activities.
FFA = Future Farmers of America.
4H is not really associated with school but they do announce them; so many of the kids here are in it too.
-
Sounds GREAT!!! How are the boys celebratin? (other than the all night field party next week (?))

Right now they are basking in my and Don's admiration and pride. Don grilled steaks for us all and we are just hanging out.

We got ourselves a long weekend. Bryan called - said he's be over on Sunday - we may just put in the tomato plants, seeing as he prepared that area last weekend.
I really don't have any major plans - just hangin around the board (I'm now only 5 days & 8 hours behind Leslie in total number of hours online!)

Why not eat em red - healthy like! instead a fryin em?
Oh wait, that's what you meant by "wait till they turn"?
've never fried em - usually have lotsa lost/wasted green tomatoes at the end of the season (come September).
Wonder how things (in the garden) are gonna turn out this summer - what with 2 trips planned - one ta Alberta, and another ta Timmins.

He's thinkin a hirin some pre-teen neighbours ta keep the garden watered - I'd rather take my chances with Mimma (who also lives just a couple a doors away) Actually Bryan will be goin ta Australia with Evan at the same time as my Alberta trip.
I see Garry's online! Gonna go eavesdrop !
318 back
-
Australia?? why Australia??
-
Australia?? why Australia??
All of Evan's trips are AIDS related - maybe that's where the next international AIDS conference in being held (the last one was here in Toronto and Evan was heavily involved in it's organization)
BTW, it's never been held in the states cause of their refusal to allow aids/hiv infected people across the border without restrictions. They're probably the only developped country with that kinda border policy!
316 back
-
cant let people with HIV in....not when we have drug dealers and such needing in first!
>:( >:(

Funny!
The Americans WANT to host the conference - The organizers refuse ta go to the States with their bigoted unfair policy - even though they offered to lift it for the duration of the conference (fools!)
Will be calling it a night - See ya on the other side (when ya eventually wake up!)
Bonsoir - À demain!

Good Mornin BetterMostians!!
Mornin is breakin all over the eastern seaboard, all the way inland ta Toronto. It's promissing ta be another gorgeous (though cool) sunny day. And it's Sunday - a day a rest - a day ta take yer time & appreciate life's little special perks.
Jess did that in the store yesterday, but - the store being what it is, that post's already burried 5 pages back on a thread that's 1 600 pages long :o - So I'm reposting it here! Enjoy!
ok
this is living in the country:
A fledgling mockingbird sitting on a fence, full of himself cause he has caught a bug, his sister sitting a foot away trying to figure out how to steal that bug. Mother and father birds sitting in the boughs watching and singing....one flying across to sit on the exhaust of the tractor for a closer look.
Walking across a field knee high in grass, with a friendly horse walking beside you; not because she has to...there is no halter...but because she wants to be with you...scaring up a pair of rabbits. A sudden explosion in the grass in front of you as they tear away, white tails flashing as they dive for the next pasture over and hiding in the grass (thinking you don't know they are there in that little tuft)
A dead bird on the fence....bugs busily going about the cleanup job nature has given them.
A dog freshly shorn of his long hair stretched out on the pavement, soaking in the sun; encouraging us to slow down and just be.
A baby horse (looking a little ragged with its soft-as-cotton baby fuzz rubbed off here and there to show the silky fur underneath) curiously nibbling on your clothes as you rub its soft neck and momma horse pressing close wanting her tummy scratched; scooting away suddenly as the more dominant mare comes up for her scratch.
A mother horse gently grooming a baby not her own, tender and affectionate.
The sound of horses hooves in a trailer. The sound of a truck and trailer crossing the grate. The soft sound of horses grazing.
A frog taking a shortcut down the slap MIDDLE of the barn aisle....careless of horse's hooves or people.
A short haired dog with a bad leg crouched by a wall staring intently but patiently at a hole in the wall; trying to outwait a mouse.

Bryan didn't say when he'd be over ... he's been in early lately cause he was alone (I think) what with Evan being on the other side of the world. Or maybe he just had plans fer stuff to do in the afternoon. Either way - he didn't say when he'd be over - hasn't called since Friday when he said he's come over on Sunday.
Oh BTW, here are yer pancakes - bon appétit

"Taking Chances" had it's debut on the 24th of June
The Performance thread was started by Ray 5 days earlier on the 19th of June
And at least 3 other top 10 stapples were started in May of 2006.
Sooo ....
Not only will this thread be the first new addition to the top 10 from 2007 (mid February), but the first one in approximatively 11 months to break the monopoly!
(talk about stagnation!)

We just got some great threads is all, popular.
plus since we don't restrict people from starting new threads a lot are duplicated; if we forced everyone to post on a few threads then they would build up too...at least we know that our top ten are TRULY top tens...not just threads that are artificially built up to look like they are more than they are...
-
hmm...Roland has stopped posting...Bryan musta showed up!
;D ;)
-
Just come in from takin a dozen pics a 5 dif'rent flowers (3 new ones) - I'll be in photoshop fer the next 15 minutes - expect 2 pics a day till the next batch is ready! ;D

BRYAN!!!!
Roland has snuck back in the house instead of being outside working!!
-
He ain't the boss a Me (Besides he allows me some personal time too, once I've put in a few minutes pulling out weeds!)
-
As mentioned yesterday, tonight's special is :
Vegetarian Lasagna
served with a green salad & olives
(http://www.renaissancecateringco.com/lasagna.jpg)
and of course, a serving of the house specialty bean salad.

Why was it such a disappointin day?
253 back
-
I LOVE snowball bushes.

Anyways - I'll read up on it in the mornin - cause I'm gonna call it a night

Whenever I have a headache like that I wake up when it quits, feeling rested and ready to go...(such a relief!)...I will go back to bed in half an hour or so..

no I woke up with it yesterday morning...but he sure didn't help! >:( >:(
-
Well, the way I hear it, he doesn't check out BetterMost, unless I show him stuff - won't go find pics (though I guess I could save the picture & sent it to his e-mail)
Yesterday he was saying that we were very clicky and that new members are not given much of a chance! WTF ??? I don't understand either. Clickish, yes, but not given a chance as a newbie? no way!

We are the only ones awake in the whole town!!

I can kinda see that. If I were just coming on I don't know if I would be comfortable....everyone already has a history together and knows each other. Dont' know how to fix it though...

When Bryan started posting, his first post was something like
"Who does a guy have ta blow ta get a beer here"! Kinda shocking!

Bryan emailed me back...the way HE explains it; it sounds very simple and straightforward to get the little guy up there...
you sure you want that little mutt? He only knows English! and he will bark with a Texas accent! :o
Yup - I'm pretty sure I'm ready ta take on a puppy on my own.
Bryan raised Cora, and there's still 6 weeks ta the end a school, but summer's the best time ta do this. With 6 weeks ta go, I guess I'm gonna need Lilli (who stays at home 2 doors away) ta come visit Pitou during the first month!
BTW - I got cc's of his mail

how do you pronounce that?
-
I don't want a barker - maybe he'll have had bad childhood memories which will affect him later (being the runt 'n all) and I think a Texan accent can be quite charming ;D
Hope he gets usta the cold a Canadian winters!
Bryan thinks there might be some lab in him...
231 back

he thinks his name is puppy right now....I don't know how he is gonna understand ya'll speaking French at him!
You say "PUPPY!" and his little ears pop up and he comes running, wiggling and wagging that tail!

how do you pronounce that?
Pitou = Pea + 2

Course if this deal goes through, yer gonna hafta

Hope you are not disappointed in him....I have NO idea what all he has in him...I don't think he is gonna be as big as a lab...maybe about the size of a border collie. Like I told Bryan I have never heard him make a sound.
Who knows? He may not even pass his health exam...being a stray and all.
as far as winter goes, he has never experienced anything else so surely he will be fine! and he will be an inside dog won't he?
baby pictures? You have them all! They are strays...those are all I have! LOL!!

PEA 2 huh? Cute....alright I will start calling him that and see what happens!
He is gonna be 'moving on up' from an old shed in Texas to a nice house in Canada!
That is crazy...that dog is gonna do more traveling than I have ever done!

no, didn't climb up in that shed and take pics! ::)
I told you they are strays! She wouldn't/won't let us touch her at all...and when they were tiny, she would growl and bristle at us so we left her alone.
she is not a pretty dog but is filling out some since we have started feeding her (not that that means she can stay!)
I WILL start taking more pics though for you :)
-
Well Bryan wants me ta own a dog - thinks it would be good for me - besides, he wants ta take care of it occasionally (like prob'ly most weekends!)
He's got no expenses (but expensive tastes) so he feels he can spend money on absurd things. Remember he's the one that spent 600$ on italian made sandals!!!
He's seen me with Cora so he knows I'm a dog person.

Around the first of April; they are about seven weeks right now.
puppies are so sweet; we were talking today that they always seem like they are smiling! Those little tails held up so high..

he has about seven or eight white hairs on his chest...think they are about weaned already. Momma is drying up.

Well Jess
Just make sure he doesn't stray and get adopted by some other neighbour (like the other 4 puppies) before he gets shipped up north.
You gonna order breakfast soon, or are ya gonna head back ta bed (you work taday, doncha?)

wish I had my camera Saturday...they came up out of the woods with a leg bone from a deer they had found....took three of them to carry it! :laugh: :laugh:

So Roland - you are getting a dog from Jess, si that right? So how many 1000 of miles is that from texas to you!?
oh and Jess - checked out your preacher man story - I'm so glad Britain is not in the grips of the religious freak types like in the US. Why oh why can't people see that its nice to be nice and just by saying you are a christain doesn't automatically make you a good person and vice versa.
Is Jeff D's boyfriend? I was sure it was another name before.

Somebody said 'bout 2 000 miles between East Texas & Toronto. (Ya gotta say a little word sometimes!!)

Yup, D and Jeff have been friends since grade 3 - & it's more than boyfriends ... they've been a couple, that is to say Jeff moved in ta Jess's place over a year ago, I believe. Gotta remember that Texas is part a the "Evangelical" Deep South - Bible Belt country. Been lookin fer a funny map ta add to this post, seperatin the south from the rest a America! - funny map really!
Here it is:

Course, this map pre-dates BBM - lots has happened in the past 2 years - so I think Jesusland would be a bit smaller taday (but it could still exist)

Whadja do? Buy 2 collars? - a black and a brown/beige one?

yep...wasn't sure what size to get so I got two...will take the other back
I like his personality....he is laid back and easy going

Was afraid he mighta been bullied by his bigger sibblings, but mostly, I guess, he just got ignored by em. - Which mighta made him a bit of a loner ...
Sounds mor'n more like my kinda dog

no he never gets into the scraps the girls get into....even when they are fighting over food the girls growl and snap at each other, he just ignores it and keeps eating....
likes to lay in tall grass...I guess cause it is cool...won't pass up a tuft. Has to try it out for a bed. (I can already see him up in your flower beds!)
bonsoir Roland..

Here's the story!
The top 10 threads (by reply) have been the same for eons. As a matter of a fact, the most recently started thread that's made it to the top 10 is Jess's Feed store & Tack Shop - Was started Waaaay back last June.
Only one other thread's heading feo the top 10 (a fan fic thread and that one was started in November)
The Studs 'n Spurs Bar 'n Grill thread was started only 3 and a half months ago & it's likely to hit the top 10 before the end a the month.
Those numbers are the countdown ta passing the #10 thread in the top 10!

Asked the priciple for a 40$ reserve ta buy gifts for the kids at the end a the year - he smirks and tells me he's been told he's gotta spend the rest a his budget real fast. I suggest Phys Ed equipment to the tune a 1 000$ an he's still smirking ....
Gonna give me 1 700$ ta spend on equipment - but I gotta deal with it pretty fast, or the money will go elsewhere!

I'm pretty sure that I've already told you that Bryan doesn't speak french - never has. Always seems to have francophones as close friends (and partners), but no he's never spoken the language. That's why I couldn't talk to Cora en français. But Pitou will be instructed en français, hunderd percent.

Australian Shepherds are an interesting breed. They're not Australian at all. I (and everyone I know) had never heard of them until about 10-15 years ago when someone imported them. And my family has been showing dogs since the early 70's so it's not as if I'm unfamiliar with the rarer or more unusual breeds.

Jobs:
D's boss has a list of horses he wants ridden and went over it. introduced him to the horses and the guy he has cleaning stalls. When it is raining he won't ride so he wont get paid. He is still excited about it. Rode a couple of horses.
Jeff got to watch some surgeries, seems pretty excited still; said most of it is the same thing over and over.

what about the backyard?? can't he go out there and run around? What about parks? what about over at friend's houses?
poor puppy! If you are gonna be all tough with him...

Eventually he'll be allowed ta be with me outside without a leash (I hope) but, when I'm gonna be away to school the next 3 weeks. Pitou will be on a long leash outside, allowed a radius of about 20 feet, which will include a cage in the garage, should it rain.
Lilly's likely ta visit him too. She's suggested he stay with her & her 3 dogs in that smoke filled house of hers, but that's not my ideal situation fer Pitou. We're still in negociation ...

Guess the largest expense was removing and rebuilding the fence.
Remember, this is Timmins, where snow arrives in late October and hasn't quite finished melting in early May (ok, late April)
So they get wall to wall snow (including snow packed roads) 6 months of the year!
Still it's somethin they've been wantin to do fer some time now

Most of Timmins' houses are covered in panel siding, like the side of the garage here. So, none of the brick house richness you see 'round Toronto (or for that matter, those 'cottage' pics I posted last winter in the My Great White North Thread)

Howdy folks...still settling back in from Colorado...wonderful time surely, but a contradiction - the air is so thin, you feel like the vast open space is smothering you, but it seems so fresh and pure, you have to breathe as deeply as you can. Just lovely.
I'm just popping in to say I *love* the Japanese garden, Ro. I visited one in Portland, OR once and it was amazing...so much tranquility, peace, harmony. And that's right in your backyard, correct?

Got a leash (4 footer), a 20 foot tieout with a spiral stake (so he can be outside while I'm not home), and a double bowl, stainless steel, 1 quart with holder. (hope it's large enough - Cora's bowls were larger). - total initial invertment, 50$
Plans are afoot ta have Pitou shipped over Friday - arriving here around 10:00 PM (Bryan called)
-
sounds good! I haven't heard from him at all..I assume he has someone picking him up from the vet?
-
Something like that. He's aranged for someone to drive him to the airport. Knowing Bryan, (cause he won't tell, I gotta assume the worse), he's prob'ly payin taxi fare or somethin - to Dallas :-\
Oops better watch what I say - he's been snoopin - checked out my "Great White North" thread last night!
-
That's cool about the yucca.
Thanks for the coffee! Since it's cooled down a bit, I'll just think of it as iced coffee, which I love.
I asked all the roadtrippers if the wild iris was blooming in Lightning Flat, but they just shrugged. I haveta know, so I'm planning my own trip to Lightning Flat!!

Good mornin Jess - and how are you today (you night owl!)

Good morning, Sheriff!
How are things in Canada? Sunny and HOT HOT HOT here...
You see my pics last night? I still have some movies that I am gonna upload...short ones.
I love digital cameras...you can take as many pics as you want and if you don't like them it doesnt cost anything!
So I am gonna guess we are gonna see some in the North thread pretty soon?
-
I been postin pics taken a few days earlier of late, but there have been fewer things to share, but yea,I might even post some a today's pictures today.
Was thinkin a havin a daily quiz - startin with "Identify this herb!"
Won't last a week, but it might be fun while it lasts...
You posted exactly 2 pictures last night - yea I saw em - sorta outa focus - you were'n right there (like I can be with my bee pictures!)
-
Here's one a the 19 pics I took a this big ol bumble bee. Kept 6 of em so far
Yer right though - couldn't be doin this with a regular camera.

Then there's the problem a the focus - you lookin at a flower, but the camera thinks you want ta focus on the leaf in front of it (or the dark spot way behind!)
Still, ya take 68 photos, yer bound ta have a few postables ...

Good ev'nin Jess (figure if I post she WILL come!)
Been doin a little bit a diggin in the front yard this past hour - widenin the second row a flowerbed that Bryan pulled out near a month ago. Figured I'd put in the cement block borders and stones (cause Bryan's certainly not workin in the front yard much - busy with plantin more tomato plants (10 more) and cucumber, and makin more temporary space in the back for the Iris)
Sorry - no pictures.
Ain't quite finished yet either - got dark 'fore I got it done.

Thanks Doug, but I took that picture ... in my neighbour's yard. See, I saw this little bee round my flowers & thought I'd get my camera, but it flew away - started doin other things when my neighbour called out ta come & check out the huge bumble bee hangin around her flowers. well I ran inside and got the camera and took near 20 of that monster. It kept movin around, and at the close up level I had him at, I kept losin him, or the beast was showin me his back side (wanted a profile). Was quite a challenge ... enden up postin the very first picture I took :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You're right about catfish not bein very popular here. Salmon is only one a the many special fish available here (but not bein a fish person, I'm not up on what the main catches & sellers are in these here parts.)
I'll make tuna sandwiches from time to time and when I get fish & chips, I prefer halibut. I've had salmon steaks and was not impressed (just tasted like fish ta me :-\ )
-
Don't like tunafish...but that is probably because I HATE mayo... :P
my favorite fish are catfish, perch and buffalo!
and crappie...LOL!

Glad yer enjoyin my "Great White North" thread - it was intended as a respite from the winter blahs, but Jess encouraged me to post the progress of my blooming garden - she'd seen some photos of previous years, and I kept on sayin that lost had improved since then, so ... that's how come me got to do that current part a the thread. The puzzle part just got started this week.
Jess had to go offline (says there are thunderstorms going through her parts) so get your guesses in before she gets back. (don't really expect she'll guess those flowers anyways - ha! :laugh: )

Good Mornin All
They're saying it'll be a little hotter than previously predicted, but still manageable, I guess. Stayin home to work on the report cards today - already put in one more hour (am planin 3 more sessions today.)
Do come in and say hello - I'll be checkin in on the site all day long ... and go and check out my 'Great White North' for the puzzle du jour and for the answer to Jocelyn's question "Roland, what are hostas anyways?"
Oh - & for Lee, here's yer Andy fix: ;D (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice008.jpg)

Well I got me two whole days to finish em - and based on what I've done in the past 2 days - I'd say they're coming along just nicely.
I'm better'n halfway through the Phys Ed marks and comments, and the art won't take half as much time!
And yes - it's all Bryan's fault (still can't remember the flower's name)

Wot? did I miss a day somewhere? he's comin over today (Saturday!)
Besides, I've got it all planned, see: I put in one hour each and every 6. So far I'm only 30 minutes behind schedule!
He's not likely to stick around anymore'n 6 hours per visit, and he'll prob'ly not be here tomorrow (Sunday), So I say, it's still do-able!

-
Dunno!
Hope he'll be tearin down that first flowerbed ... prob'ly reorganising the second one (the one who's borders I put up this week). He asked me what I was hopin ta see put in there, so between the two of us we can prob'y find a nice balance a bushy leafs, and flowers, while repecting the limits of height (esthetics), sun pref'rences and time a year appropriateness.
Plus he wants to start planning my Alberta trip.

I love glads ... Bryan calls em old folks flowers ...
Problem is, they don't survive the winter and the bulbs have to be brought in & kept in a dry place each winter and replanted in the spring ...
Maybe when I retire I'll have time for this (If there's still room in the yard!)
-
Gladdies!!! Now those are flowers we have here! Dame Edna and her gladdies are an institution in Oz.

Good mornin y'all (wonder where Doug wandered off to with his new friend last night - he never dropped in! ??? )
Anyhoot, should any a ya wake up this mornin, coffee's on the stove, and sweet tea's in the ice box.

(Love the mornins, so much cooler than that other part a the day)

Good morning Sheriff, Jess and ALL :) I could continue my " fantasy " story about "the guy with the red bow tie" I "met" at David's parade BUT alas I was tired and the hour in Houston was about 2 AM so I decided I had best hit the hay....without " my fantasy red bow tie friend" !!! ;) Boo Hoo :( I enjoy hearing about your various activities Sheriff. Your flowers are BEAUTIFUL and I feel no flower is really a weed just a "misplaced" flower ;D
-
uh huh, Doug....we believe you...just went home by yourself..nothing happened...uh huh...

G'mornin all. uncomf'tably warm already here in TO.
You'll be glar to hear I'm a mere 2 and a half hours away from having finished my report cards, well the Phys Ed part anyways. The rest might take another 3 hours max. Since I'm already planning on 4 hours on em before school starts tomorrow, I'm just short one hour - It's do-able!
Anyhoot, Happy Father's day to y'all who are fathers (I'm not talkin 'bout you daddy types ;) )

Now why do you think I'd want to hurt you Jess! ;) If you talk to Garry, I'm sure he'll give you a glowing reference about me. Mind you, he did sound rather surprised the first time I rang him! ;D

Oh I don't mind..I could go if I want but they will go on from church and I am just not up for it today. :)
It is ok for them to have a boys day out!
-
Don just got another one!!!
:) :) :)
it is YuMMY!!
Thanks Roland...
-
LOL!!
well six were not enough...they are wanting more...
dang!!
I really liked it, Roland. and surprisingly so did the boys. D is usually up for new stuff but Don doesn't EVER like anything different. It was just strong enough on the meat to make him happy...he even used some bread to sop up the soup...
and it didn't take them long to disappear! :o
-
Some a ya might be wonderin what Jess is gushing about ... well ...
I've shared my Stuffed Pepper recipe with her
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/stuffedpeppers.jpg)
And they loved it! I'm not saying it's an easy job to do (plan on an hour's worth in the kitchen) but it is good.
So glad they did. I woke up at 2 this morning feeling extra blah! and your post whisked some a that blah away. Thank you Jess.
Don loved it - and on Father's day, you go & try something new on him - nice!
-
Well he and the boys went out and had a big ol meal at about one yesterday so I figured he wasn't gonna be that hungry (we usually only have one big meal a day) It is always easier to introduce something new to him if he isn't too hungry.
I was very surprised...figured he would tolerate it (humor me) but he really liked it.Said "We could have that again...just make more"
LOL!!
pigs!

Hey Karen - Welcome to the Bar & Grill!
Andy's a fixture here, a purdy addition to the place. (Gets the customers coming back!)
He also is suppose to serve your orders a food or drinks when I'm unavailable to get to you fast enough.

Indeed! He is the light that brightens the darkest morning! LOL
Good mornin all!

Naw - just a good lookin young man who's pictures (6 of em) I found on a blog - a former boyfriend of said blogger.
Now you know everything about him (except maybe his real name ...made that up myself.)

No, No plans
Yesterday I got some Alberta plans set up - so my lodging is all done. Next I gotta do flight reservations with car rental reservations to match.
Got some good news from Eric today. He's gonna include Gordon Lightfoot's version of 'Me & Bobby McGee' on the playlist of Brokeback Mountain Radio! ;D I heard Gord's version like 8 months before Janis Joplin had her mega hit, (and about 6 months before Gord broke through in the states with 'If You Could Read my Mind')
The song's a buddy song written by Kris Kristopherson, but to me, it'll always be Gord's song!

Waylon Jennings did that song too. Don't know that I have ever heard Lightfoots version..

Ok I am gonna go lay down for a few minutes before we leave...have a good evening Roland!!

-
Waylon Jennings did that song too. Don't know that I have ever heard Lightfoots version..
Yea, Eric told me - I've never hear any other version. Eric asked me if I minded he put up either Dolly Pardon (which he was trying out today) or Waylon's version (cause Gord's already got three songs in the rotation), but I told him it HAD to be Gord's - the original interpreter! So he's removing Dolly's version this evening & puttin in Gord's. I'm pretty happy with that decision, as I posted that request somethin like 3 or 4 months ago, when I requested 'Beautiful' (by Gord again).
-
Soon after I posted the last reply, I got a call from Lilly saying I should bring the ladder and help out pickin cherries - they'd turned red in great numbers in the past couple a days, and with the heavy rains we'd just had this afternoon, the branches were hanging low - perfect conditions fer pickin cherries. I picked for near 90 minutes, and Mimma did the lower branches fer about 1 hour. Between the 2 of us, we musta picked over 30 pounds a cherries, with maybe twice as much left in the tree. Expect I'll be back tomorrow ta continue the job, even if Mimma won't be there ta collect em too. Gotta pick em before the bird and the squirrels devastate the crop (all natural cherries - no pesticides!) Got me a real good supper out of it, and all the cherries I wanted ta take home!
Sometimes it's worth it, having no plans for the night ;)
-
WHOA!!
That is so cool, Roland! I am jealous....I don't know anyone with a cherry tree!
-
Hey miss jealous, with the dogs and the kids and the chickens and the mate and the horses and the garden that feeds family, neighbours and anyone else who passes by & you never have ta water - or weed the garden, how ya really doin? - Count your blessings!
So I've got a friend who has a cherry tree - woop de doo!

Hi y'all betermostians and lurkers!
Wednesday and it's just 13*C (55*F) outside. What a relief. Still got the fan working to cool down the inside of the house.
6 school days left & I've finished my report card (big Yee Haw!) and this afternoon, we're goin to the park - so no classes (little yee haw!)
Andy (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice005.jpg) keeps takin care a things until I can be home ta do so later next week. Y'all be good to each on this fine day!
-
Jeez!! I just meant that you had a MUCH better evening than I did....I had to go shopping.
and you have your own blessings you know! Great friends, great job, a nice home with a spectacular garden of your OWN...
so we are both lucky people!
Good morning!
fussy!!
-
I think my good morning was just SNUBBED!!
HARUMPH!!
;) ;)
(just kidding, he said good morning in the store!!)
those kids must be keeping him busy this morning....
Roland if you stop back by....have a great day!! seven more to go, right??
-
bummer.
Eric shot my airplane out of the air.
Told me Bobby in 'Me & Bobby McGee' is a she, in Gordon's version. Said he'd decided to leave the Dolly Pardon version on Brokeback Mountain radio.
His logic may be based on the fact that Gordon Lightfoot's already in the roatation with 3 songs (but I requested THIS version of the song a long time before he included a version of it in the rotation :( ) Well at least I do like 2 of the 3 Lightfoot selections there.
Can't win em all :-\

Jess and I are constantly pushing each other's buttons. Sometimes we cross the line a decency but lately neither one of us really worries about the other's hurt feeling by our comments ...
I know full well that she meant nothing much by "I am jealous....I don't know anyone with a cherry tree!" - just thought I could take her for a ride on my fake offended-mobile. If I had been truly offended, of if my comment had been offensive to her, PM's would have been involved, and possibly deleted posts!
In the meantime, I'm glad you were able to enjoy the banter. ;D

Now you have a friend with a cherry tree Jess. I have a big one in my front yard...Let me tell you one thing. They are one messy tree. I sweep up dropped cherries for weeks and weeks. But they sure make a great cobbler...Dont make cherry cake though.

Good mornin BetterMostians
Well the countdown is definitively on, now! 5 days to go (with an extra clean up & meeting day at the end a the school year)
Cool right now and a slight chance a rain - but it looks like it's gonna be high 20's for the rest a the week with very little rain ta accomp'ny it all. - Think I'd better go out & water the tomatoes, at least ... just in case.
You've got Andy (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice010.jpg) to accomp'ny you this mornin, but he'll be doin his own vacationin soon too.

Started off I was down in the garden...minding my own business and he came down there and started pelting me with WATER BALLOONS!! Now REALLY!! the man is 43 years old! Throwing water balloons...and he is strong and accurate...they HURT!
I had a tomato that had root rot so I threw it at him...and MISSED...>:( >:(
the dogs thought the whole thing was funny, HE said I won the wet tshirt contest... ::) ::)
then when I ran back to the house...him following me the whole way laughing...he had a saddle and jumper cables in the bedroom! Jeez.
I told him I wasn't coming in there til he took them back out to the barn. He said he didn't know what exactly he was supposed to do with them but Jeff Foxworthy recommended it... :P
sheesh!

Jess, Bryan's still here - didn't have a clue how late it was. We've been working (yes, me too) on the garden - both front & back. Though Evan was here for about half an hour around noon, helping me with the plane reservations & car rentals - so the trip's taking shape. Next up, with regards to the trip ... the itinerary.
Bryan should be leaving within the next half hour
-
(I meant I was gonna choke DON...not Bryan!! BRYAN is nice....)
So Evan is feeling better? That is good.
I have been looking at recipes for eggplant..
-
Hey Y'all!
How's everyones Saturday?
I went fishin this mornin about 3am and caught 4 Bass and two Blue Gill!
Then spent the rest of the day at the pool it was HOT!
I was 95f (35c) here today!
Well, not to butt in, but i read that Jess wa lookin for Eggplant recipies.
I like to sautee mine in Olive oil and garlic then sprinkle on the parmesean cheese just before I take it off the heat.
Or you can cut it in circles and dip it in egg then dust with flour and Hidden Valley Ranch Dry mix and fry it in peanut oil.
Thats pretty good!!
You know us southerners, we fry everything! LOL

Yea I knew you were talkin bout Don
Don't like eggplant - can't stand the texture.
Evan's still weak - lost some weight, but he appears to be gradually getting better. You know Bryan & Evan are heading for Australia next month. Sydney mostly, then North. They're leaving on the 18th of July. Evan will be hitting the big 5 - 0 during this trip, and Bryan will be reaching 45!
-
Hey there Lee - Right nice a you ta stop by on a Saturday.
Been gardening with Bryan for the better part of 8 hours!!!
Also got plans in place for the Alberta trip next month.

Awright, I didn't exactly work for 8 hours, Bryan worked for practically 8 hours. I cleaned 2 weeks worth a dishes, prepared lunch for both of us, was his go-to-man, on occasion, and I did some gardening.
Got a lot a sun - will no doubt burn! And the empty flowerbed's taking shape ... and the yellow iris patch has been removed. Think there was something like 40 - 50 plants in that (less than) a square yard/metre area. Will be puttin 10 a the more mature iris plants in the newest/refurbished flowerbed, with the younger plants being moved to a new temporary area near the fence in the back (tomorrow's plans.)

show what - pictures a the work that was done today?
The refurbished flowerbed doesn't yet have the iris (That's tomorrow's job - along with planting the 30 ta 40 additional roots in the back). Plus 'just-moved' plants rarely look good!
Took a bunch a pictures yesterday (before I mowed the lawn) - guess I could post a few.
Bryan trimed a lot a the herbs I photographed yesterday - they look better in yesterday's pictures.

Good Mornin BetterMostians
Joyeuse Saint Jean-Baptiste à tous mes compatriote de souche canadienne-française.
Certains Québécois en on fait leur fête nationale, mais ça n'enlève rien à sa valeur pour tous les autres canadiens qui ne sont pas aussi québequois. C'est NOTRE Saint-Patrick, un jour pour revoir où nous en sommes dans notre évolution comme francophone dans cette mer anglophone.
Les paroles d'une chason à partager avec vous aujourd'hui:
La langue de chez-nous
par Yves Duteil
C'est une langue belle avec des mots superbes
Qui porte son histoire à travers ses accents
Où l'on sent la musique et le parfum des herbes
Le fromage de chèvre et le pain de froment
Et du Mont-Saint-Michel jusqu'à la Contrescarpe
En écoutant parler les gens de ce pays
On dirait que le vent s'est pris dans une harpe
Et qu'il en a gardé toutes les harmonies
Dans cette langue belle aux couleurs de Provence
Où la saveur des choses est déjà dans les mots
C'est d'abord en parlant que la fete commence
Et l'on boit des paroles aussi bien que de l'eau
Les voix ressemblent aux cours des fleuves et des rivières
Elles répondent aux méandres, au vent dans les roseaux
Parfois même aux torrents qui charrient du tonnerre
En polissant les pierres sur le bord des ruisseaux
C'est une langue belle à l'autre bout du monde
Une bulle de France au nord d'un continent
Sertie dans un étau mais pourtant si féconde
Enfermée dans les glaces au sommet d'un volcan
Elle a jeté des ponts par-dessus l'Atlantique
Elle a quitté son nid pour un autre terroir
Et comme une hirondelle au printemps des musiques
Elle revient nous chanter ses peines et ses espoirs
Nous dire que là-bas dans ce pays de neige
Elle a fait face aux vents qui soufflent de partout,
Pour imposer ses mots jusque dans les collèges
Et qu'on y parle encore la langue de chez nous
C'est une langue belle à qui sait la défendre
Elle offre les trésors de richesses infinies
Les mots qui nous manquaient pour pouvoir nous comprendre
Et la force qu'il faut pour vivre en harmonie
Et l'Île d'Orléans jusqu'à la Contrescarpe
En écoutant chanter les gens de ce pays
On dirait que le vent s'est pris dans une harpe
Et qu'il a composé toute une symphonie
Et de l'Île d'Orléans jusqu'à Contrescarpe
En écoutant chanter les gens de ce pays
On dirait que le vent s'est pris dans une harpe
Et qu'il a composé toute une symphonie.

I am gonna go back to bed myself here in a minute. Woke up with a bit of a headache. but I had to check in ya know...
oh and nope D is out doing chores and talking Don's ear off.. ;)

You know Bryan & Evan are heading for Australia next month. Sydney mostly, then North. They're leaving on the 18th of July. Evan will be hitting the big 5 - 0 during this trip, and Bryan will be reaching 45!
July is in the middle of winter here!! You'd think they'd chose a warmer time of the year to visit. It'll be warm enough up North depending on how far North they're thinking of going. Queensland?? Great Barrier Reef??? But in Sydney it is definitely chilly. Alright, it doesn't snow but it still gets cold! LOL

I don't think Evan's goin on vacation ... or at best, a working vacation. And Bryan's tagging along. Summer in Toronto can be pretty unpleasant, doncha know. So far this year, we've broken 6 heat records. that's just in the first 6 months of 2007! Breaking 2 records in a year is remarkable enough! Global warming is NOT just talk!

Bonsoir, Roland
sweet dreams...
will see you in the morning!!

Starting with that long Saturday outside, and the coolish weather we've been enjoying, this weekend felt summer had arrived (Oh wait, it had!). Still, with talk a the 40th anniversary of the reunion and 'la Saint-Jean' all happenin on the same day as 'Pride Day' - sure felt like holidays to me!
Now reality sets in & I gotta get back to work for 4 more days (3 with the kids). Change a mindset! - Summer vacations haven't started yet!
Still will be needing Andy's help (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice010.jpg) and since it's gonna be a scorcher (expecting above 30*C temperatures for thext couple a days), it's gonna be hard!
Natch, the Bar & Grill is open for all yer refreshing summer needs!

Good Morning!
Happy Monday! :P
That Andy is so cute.
I think I'll just sit a while and sip my coffee S L O W L Y! LOL

The kids have to be in school for a total of 180days.
We get 3 days for Thanksgiving,2weeks at Christmas, A week in February, A week for spring break and a few other days here and there. Not to mention Summer that I wrote about above.
Some schools are going to full year schedules but I think it's still 180days just more smaller breaks throughout the year.

Yea there's talk a doin sumthin like that here too - problem is, schools are not air conditioned - was 32*C (90*F) outside taday (warmer inside!) and will be 34*C (93*F) tomorrow! Can't wait for Friday to arrive (start a the summer vacations)
-
G'mornin BetterMostians
Tuesday and the living is easy it's gonna be a tough one! Kids are gonna be grumpy cause they have to be there and there ain't gonna be much ta do - except sweat a lot! Temperatures are gonna reach 35*C (95*F) and that's ouside. Schools are not air conditioned and you can easily add another 5*C indoors - especially on the second floor. (alright, that's my 'bitch, bitch, bitch' for today - this too shall pass)
2 days to go - plus one for cleaning up.
Gonna need Andy today fer sure! (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice007.jpg)
Hope y'all have a wonderful Tuesday! (to make up fer mine)
-
Good mornin Jess - You working today?
I've got a dental appointment after school today. Will be gettting home later than usual (maybe around 6)
Got some new plants happening in the garden. Some faux 'black-eyed susans', some Sunflowers, another daylilly (or was it a lilly - can't remember), and the double bloom annual poppie's showing yet another bloom (maybe I'll get a good picture of this one). Hell even the italian parsley's showing flowers!
-
good morning, Roland
-
Good Mornin Everyone
Still hot hot hot here too. only 32*C predicted though, and a good possibility of rain to cool us down. Tomorrow (when the kids will no longer be in this oven that is our school), the temperatures are suppose to become much more reasonable (25*C).
In the meantime, this is my last 'last day of school' what with retirement coming in 7 month!
Andy (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice010.jpg) dear Andy is still here to keep you comp'ny, and to serve you yer refreshments.

good morning..did you get any sleep at all?
Slept well fer about 3 hours last night, and again, got ta rest my brain fer about 90 minutes this mornin.
Not the best recipe for being prepared for the last (hot, hot, hot) day of school, but apparently I wasn't the only teacher that slept poorly last night.
10 minutes to go, and the kids'll be gone - Still got the bus supervision (usually alone on Wednesday) but end a year in the past, most teachers go out to the busses with their students! - so should be awright.
Gotta go!

but you have one more day right? Just not with the kids..
were the kids all happy to get out!!?? :laugh: :laugh:

YAY! No more kiddies for the Sheriff!
Are you ready for a little peace and quiet??

He is gonna MISS those kids so much!!
poor Roland...no kids....
tsk tsk tsk
:laugh: :laugh:

Yup - said my goodbyes and all. Got lotsa cleaning up to do today. Meeting this mornin don't start till near 9:00 but I expect I'll be getting in at the same time as usual to do some cleanning up of the equipment room which is also my office (there's quite a paper mess there.)
When I got out to my end-of-day bus supervision, another teacher was emptying water from a bottle of one of his kids (ounce a prevention, ya know).
Of course, when I went to take by bus a little later, the neighbouring school's kids (slightly older than ours) were not only wet all over from their throwing water at each other, but they were hitting each other with emply plastic bottles. Kids !! - miss em? - certainly not yet!
34*C temperatures and end of school year tends to turn em inta little monsters!
-
Good mornin BetterMostians. Cool this mornin just 18*C (64*F) Gonna reach just 25 (77) and it ain't humid. Some neighbouring cities are telling folks not ta water their lawns so there is a bit of a dry spell happenin - didn't get the expected rain (heavy at times) and thunderstorms yesterday! Left the bedroom window open (something I don't ever normally do) and slept till near 5 this AM :o
Am about a half hour behing schedule, but who cares? Was told the meetin'll start over an hour later than when I usually get to work.
Andy's here with his quirky little smirk. (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice.jpg) Y'all have yerself a lovely day.

Quirky? I prefer sexy!! LOL :laugh:
Hope you have a good day Sheriff! I'm glad it's going to be a little cooler for you! I imagine you guys aren't used to that kind of heat up there.
It's still hot here in the upper 30'sC (90's F). Humid and sticky! The japenese beatles are eating my Roses, Crepe Myrtles and Magnolia's! I sure hopr they're gone soon! They can take the mosquito's with them!!

Bonjour Lee Hope you have yourself a fulfilling day ... and here's wishing you better results battling those japanese bugs.
Hey Jess - see you're online. Sorry about not being more present yesterday - finished my game this morning. When staying online became impossible yesterday, I stopped trying.

Good morning, Sheriff and Lee!!
Roland I have a news scroll on my screen and there was a headline "Sheriff finds woman dead in her home"
My very first thought??
"Poor Roland! I would hate to have to see somethin.....wait! They are not talking about ROLAND..."
Jeez! ::) ::)

Well in this case you'd be right - It ain't me.
Have you been reading 'out how some mods want ta be called sheriff? I realized that that described my job here near a year ago when I became moderator of 'Anything Goes' and nobody seemed to mind it then: they all thought it was sorta cute. Problem is, we prob'ly don't need 16 sheriffs in the town a BetterMost! (though I remember a certain Bryan who tried ta pass himself off as a deputy sheriff!)

Hey Shhhh - that's suppose ta be top secret - ain't been revealed to the town yet. And besides - those are old plans - no Current Events section, no Culture Ttent, no Creative Writing, no Polling Place.

Don't the boy need a day off?
Or you could always make sumthin simple like hamburgers.
Been a fairly slow Sunday in terms a postings.
And did you hear? Sharon's posted a farewell thread/post. She won't be posting pics anymore. What with dottie on a six week vacation, there won't be many new pics posted on all those hot guy threads (I've got less than 20 left over - total!)

Hunh? two gay boys in around yer parts? Friends a D & Jeff? Tell me more - might not be so boring.

Jeff and D met Brent and Todd a few months ago at the bookstore...(which is apparently a local hot spot!! :o who knew??) anyway....Todd is a brat...brat! came over and was giving D a hard time and trying to get Jeff to...um....you know...
anyway, BRENT is a sweetheart....very girlish though....and very shy.
Colt is the one we just met a couple of weeks ago...remember I told you about him?
anyway, they went on a double date with Jeff and D the other night...
-
Awright, let me get this right:
Todd = brat, tried ta create a problem between D & Jeff
Brent = sweetheart, girlish manners, dating Colt
Colt = new guy I'm suppose ta have heard about but ... I don't know why he's a off match-up with Brent
guess I don't watch enough daytime soaps

Good mornin BetterMostian
I'm 18 days away from my Alberta pilgramage.
It was so cool last night, I almost put a blanket on the bed and only had 3 windows open in the house ... some a the advantages a living in the great white north. (12C right now - gonna be no higher than 26C all week!)
Speaking of which, I'm sure y'all saw the banner. My garden blog in 'our daily thoughts' is being promoted today. It's full a pics taken from my garden (unless otherwise noted). Come & relax, since, as Janice said, "your garden is food for the soul."

show off!
;) ;)
seriously, it is an amazing garden and thread!
-
It's only 6:00 AM (your time) and you're already up?!!! This is early for you.
Bonjour Jess.
Bryan oughta be over ta rework the garden (mostly iris area, I think - gonna take some over to his friends). I'm also hoping he'll be tearing up the first row flowerbed nearest the sidewalk - will allow me to start putting up the borders.
-
I HAVE been sleeping in lately haven't I? :P
Sounds like Bryan has a full day ahead of him! Hope you have something good planned to feed him!

Well he did say he was gonna spend the whole day
And he works for food - usually bacon & eggs (and 7up) however, when he stays longer like this, he also likes some portuguese chicken - however, they close on Mondays (Canada Day notwithstanding). I do have a couple a pieces a chicken leftover from Saturday though
Pretty neat banner, hunh?
BTW, in my avatar, is the flag waving? - It is, on my computer

So, Jess ... D make supper last night? or did you serve em all salsa?
What's the temperature out there this mornin?
I still haven't been out there to water the garden, and it's near 8:00 AM!

74 right now...
no I cooked last night....took your advice and made burgers!
-

no I cooked last night....took your advice and made burgers!
I know that one a the reasons my mom hated cooking was ... deciding what to do every day. And with 8 kids in the house, there was always at least one person who did not like what was being offered. So, she had to make 2 diff'rent meals each time - then there was my father's heart attack - no more salt/spices (flavour) ... and the shifts - I went to high school in the morning (finished around 1:00 PM and my younger sibblings finished school at around 7:00 PM)
Cooking meals became a real unpleasant chore for her.
-
yes!
if it were just me I would grab a sandwich or bowl of cereal....it gets old trying to make something interesting and different every night... :P
-
which...that makes it sound like I don't like cooking for my boys..I DO...it is very satisfying to see them eat and be content...
just every now and again I don't want to go to so much trouble...I have set the bar too high! ... :laugh:

sorry to run out on you so early Roland but I got to be at work by eight this morning...have a great day! say Howdy to Bryan for me!

Specialist. Follow up on the bloodwork I got done 2 weeks ago. Missed my last apointment (back in April) so I haven't seen Fletcher since January!
No worries though - He never seems to have much to say - same old, same old ..."blood pressure's a little high, but fine ... blood count's undetectable, I'm a little bit worried about your sugar levels though".
Be back in 2 or 3 hours saying just about this much!

You're the one who's always saying you like my pictures - I know I'm no expert, and that Bryan's really good. Ain't no way I'm goin to be angry cause you all realise I'm not special in my photography! (even though, in the case a that flower, I like mine better)
And by the way - most of the times, Bryan selected the plants too, and in many, many cases, he decided where to place em in the yard. So it's his yard more'n mine - I'm just the caretaker ... I water em.

Earl's not camera shy, but he doesn't like to travel, so I was there by myself. If he could use a Star Trek-style transporter to move him from the house to the cabin in West Virginia, he'd love it, so that he wouldn't have to travel the 180 miles between here and there.
Our facility has been fairly quiet the past few days, but getting to work has been a hassle because of the cops inspecting vehicles entering the airport, especially on Monday.
Did you see the pictures of the movie location shots in Alberta?
-
The visit with Eric was great!
We had fun!
It was nice to meet a fellow Bettermostian finally!
I'm goin to the beach for a few days with my little girl! ;D

not yet. Are you gonna get to go to Alberta later this month too? I found a gay cowboy that organizes rides up there....it is very expensive but sounds like so much fun. I don't like to travel either....so I live vicariously through the pics!
I expect there will be some reenactments of the dozy embrace if they can get to the exact place...this is the trip I would go on ...if I were gonna go on any of them...

No, I'd love to go with other people, but since I was out west for the BBQ, I went up to Alberta on my own. Couldn't take more time off to wait for the pilgrimage, nor could I afford to go out west twice in one season!

We went to a little retaurant downtown called Cowtippers!
Then we went to a bar.
The train was late.
It was good to meet him and his friend steve.
If all brokie meetings are that fun I can't wait.
He's a real good guy!

good morning, Roland!!

Good mornin Jess. You're sounding chipper.
You sure are taking advantage of a mid week holiday! Did the boys do your chores this morning? Eating outa cans cause no one prepared breakfast? Or are the critters doin without? :laugh: with everyone (execeptin Don, of course,) sleepin in.
Wasn't a lot a rain, but I still didn't have to go out to water the plants.
Instead I went for a walk/run (something I managed to do regularly last summer) and took a few more pictures (I was down to my last one) including another unusual daylily!
-
oh all those boys got up all chipper and went out to work like it was a treat! :P
then they went to town for breakfast so....I slept IN!
-
That sounds wonderful - ev'ryone's doin what they want, not impeding on the other - nice way ta share a holiday.

We're now 80 posts behind "The Person Below Me" thread, which is currently 8th on the 'top 10 topics (by reply)'

Well it ain't gonna happen if you don't post in here all day!!
How is your day going?? or maybe it would be better to say how did it go! LOL!

Ain't gonna be talkin to myself!?!
Slow day - not much happened. Rain was intermittent so I got to widen (not enough) the flowerbed closest to the sidewalk. Bought a few annuals and planted em in the main flowerbed at sunset, got a haircut and slept a lot!
You?
-
Haircut?? where is the pic??
I ate too many hotdogs and too much watermelon....now I am waiting for the boys to calm down some....

Boys need to calm down? Why? Calm down from what? The high one gets from eating watermelon? I don't get you texans!! :-\
And yer waiting fer em to calm down? So you can ... ? That why Texans don't drink coffee?

they are setting off fireworks and trying to see who can get hurt first!!
They are getting on my nerves! I like to see the professional displays...but this do it yourself is not my fave!
-
I've never put out fireworks.
From my vantage point, you can see, just barely above the houses, private and public firework displays and in all directions, far away there's always some sparkles. Not that int'rested in em anymore. On Canada Day,I went out on the stoop for about a minute and got bored, even though there was a non-stop stream of em to my right (at least 5 explosions in the sky at any given moment). Guess I'm all jaded now!
-
you are!!
I love the professional ones....think they are gorgeous...glad I am not paying for them though! :laugh:

Bryan just called - told him you like him (and his) best, and how my little hint (not talkin to ya) made you blab to Shaste and how the two a ya yried ta change yer votes.
He still thinks his is the best :o
Anyways it's near 11:30 & I should prob'ly be headinoff to bed.

Good Mornin BetterMostians. How many of you Americans are back to work for two days, when Independence day coincides with hump day?
Had my first good night's sleep in a while (over 5 hours!!!) even though I napped a LOT yesterday. Finally feels like the summer break's started (actually started 6 days ago.)
Yesterday's rain has caused quite a bit of fog overnight, but that's dissipating and it's expected to reach 28C today, and they're talking over 30C later this weekend. Guess the tomatoes will love that.

I would really appreciate it if we could dry out for a day or two!! (watch...now we are gonna have the drought come back....I bet I just jinxed us! LOL!)

Well you didn't answer the question ... You goin ta work this mornin (off the farm, I mean - after all the boys taught me yesterday that working on the farm is more of a treat, right?)

They sure acted like it yesterday! Of course first thing in the morning I think EVERYONE is too cheerful! :P :P
(I am not a morning person...and I seem to be surrounded by them!! HELP!)
yep I gotta go in this morning....not tomorrow though....

Been trying to border up the first flowerbed -took some pictures. Bryan's hoping that I won't dig any closer to the sidewalk, but Idon't think that's possible - wouldn't leave enough room between the first and the second row for the lawn mower.
Be a few minutes, but I can show you pics.
-
Looks quite dif'rent than the last pics a the front yard.

are you going to put a border along the sidewalk?
-
Bryan was expecting to have the two sides of the yard have flowerbeds at equal distances from the sidewalk - don't believe it's possible.

-
are you going to put a border along the sidewalk?
No. All cement borders (with small stones) are there to seperate the grass from the flowerbeds. Not even planing on doing anything (new) between the flower beds and the driveways on either sides of the yard.

well those borders sure make your yard look nice and neat! That many plants could get out of hand but ya'll make it look very easy and organized!

How are your tomato plants doing?
-

Last summer we went to Bill's place, his partner had been setting up this kinda borders around the house and in dif'rent areas a their yard. Thought it looked pretty neat, and so I copied em. Am thinking that the sidewalk looks a little unkempt. Maybe that could be a late summer project ... cut back the overlaping grasses and maybe put in an empty space between the grass and the sidewalk - maybe even fill it up with little stones - that might be nice. I'll talk to Bryan about that idea ...
Tomatoes are still quite tiny. Some a the plants are infested by aphids (sp?) Bryan trimed off the lower branches off the more affected plants. Just talked to him some 15 minutes ago - says he'll be back working in the yard this weekend.
-
never ending job huh? but it is not really a job when you like doing it...
maybe never ending PROJECT is a better way of putting it!
-
I gotta go to work!!
be good!
:-* :-*
-
Definitively not thinking of it as a job. It's just projects. Never usta have any plans fer the yard - let be, let be. But Bryan's always had ideas and plans - and he'd show me diagrams (way back when there were just two areas - along the house, and about 10 feet along the neighbour's driveway) and we would discuss em. He would force me ta express opinions on his plans! Yard's really his design, to a very large extent.
Have a good day at work - talk ta ya later this evening. :)

Good afternoon!!
anyone home!?? HELLO!!!

Ya know I'm never too far away.
Been hotter than expected here - a few drops a rain half an hour ago, but the sun's out again. Seems the rain cooled things down a bit. I haven't had the fan on in over a week now (let alone the air conditioner.)
Went back downtown this morning to leave samples at the medical clinic - got me out a the house! ;)
I suppose it's still quite hot there. You makin the stuffed peppers tonight?
-
not tonight...we are going to town! (Don't tell Garry...he might try to come back down here....or threaten to!!) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
that's all you did downtown? leave 'samples'??
well like you said...gets you outta the house. So Bryan is coming again this weekend?
It is raining here again... :P I would sure like to have a day or two of sun!

Fritz, if you peek in again.....they were saying ya'll had a tornado warning yesterday and they evacuated the Mall there in DC!! I didn't know ya'll had tornadoes in DC!!
I assume you all are ok since you are online...but jeez!

Well that was the reason I went downtown - also picked up a few things that are only available in the gay village + I had lunch at my favourite greek place.

Hey Jess! Yeah, they did evacuate the Mall briefly, but the concert and fireworks went on as scheduled. I stayed home and watched them on TV (the ones in NYC were better), but I could hear the DC fireworks going off.
Did you get a chance to look at the Alberta location shots?

I have seen some...not all! Oh I want to go!! I have always thought Canada in that area is so beautiful...the idea of riding a horse up there to those places...wading in that stream.
I tell you, I have never been real excited about any of the get togethers but this one I am gonna be following...
we didn't go to our little fireworks display either...wasn't worth fighting the traffic :P

You SHOULDA got Earl up there...maybe next year. I can't imagine this will be the only trip Brokies make up there.

and I love that sign...obviously they have had a lot of people coming there..
How did you get to the campsites? Did you hike, drive? were they hard to find?

I can just imagine the lineup of people preparing to do various reenactments at both sites!
Hard enough to get Earl to travel out of Virginia/West Virginia, much less all the way to Alberta!

I used findingbrokeback.com , which gives excellent directions in finding things. I drove, and most of the sites were very close to the roads or within 1 km of them. The only longer hike I took was 11km to the first campsite and where various sheep shots were filmed. There was another 14 km hike up Moose Mountain to some of the high meadow locations, but I lacked time, energy and clement weather to take that walk.

oh well that doesn't sound so bad...from some of the stuff I have been reading around here I thought there was gonna be some boot camp type marches to get to them!
-
No, not at all. And many of the people going up Moose Mountain will be on horseback. That's something I would love to do, but with other people and not by myself.
-
no....a strange horse in strange country? not by yourself...I wouldn't do it.
but it does sound great. I read somewhere that they have wild horses up there.

Evan was well - coughed a little, but seemed to be puting the weight back on. He especially likes the crabs (Fridays are seafood night - and I don't care for seafood)
The pasta and the seafood 'hot tables' were not very attractive, however, I heard the pizzas weren't bad (for a change). I especially LOVE the dif'rent flavours they can produce at their cold salads/vegetable counter (the non-seafood side) and the hot table peas and pearl onions as well as the yams were to-die-for! Had myself just 3 small portions a meat (veal, chicken and pork) but their meat has never impressed me much.
desert: sherbert (tried 3 varieties), fudge, nanaimo bars and the very fresh (had 3 of em) mini éclairs - made for a wonderful conclusion to a great meal!
-
I like sherbert :) (and sweet potatoes!!)
glad Evan is feeling better.
have you done any more planning on the Alberta trip? It is getting awful close!

The black lilies should be open in a couple a days and the white ones won't be far behind. (Then we get into the dif'rent types a lilies.)

The black lilies should be open in a couple a days and the white ones won't be far behind. (Then we get into the dif'rent types a lilies.) And there's at least 2, no 3 other bush a daylilies yet to bloom.
I will look forward to seeing those!

With or without shirts?
they are required to wear western shirts and hats...but lort, Fritz....they wear them good. There is just something about a man in jeans and western shirt and hat on horseback. I have been trying to get pics for Roland but I am TOO durn shy to get really good ones....

Bryan doesn't think they'll be pure black, but I don't care. Got em growing right next ta the white so the contrast should be right pretty.
Was looking at the catalogue's prices. Don't think I paid that much, but the 'Sabina Bauer' are listed at 28$
Most disgustin a all, the 'John Edward Kent' promoted on the front cover are listed at 100$ ::)
I gotta take those pictures.

That's what it says ... actually for one plant, not one flower. Although your plant is listed at 28$, I think I paid something like 12$ each for those 3
Sorry for the quality a the picture - glossy paper don'tcha know ...

Sorry Jess. Got that plant from Bill a number a years ago. Went out to see if there was a name tag beside it & no luck. Got me to clean up the grass around those two or three plants though :)
'Toutching the Sky'? See that one don't impress me much. If I were to chose one or two, I'd pick 'Bring Me to my Knees' or 'Oriental Frill'.

Knees is pretty...but I don't see Oriental Frill??

Been reading the Store thread - looks like I'm not the only one's that's getting into very strange seep patterns!
Good mornin BetterMostians (and sleepy Jesses). It's past 9:30 here & I'm getting up (again too)
They say it's gonna be sweltering hot today (is that thunder I just heard?!? :o ) Maybe I don't need to go water them plants.
Anyways - I'm up now - Wonder what Bryan's gonna wanna do in this heat today?!!!
-
better turn on the A/C and have something cold for him to drink...poor guy being worked to death in the heat... ;)

Turns out there was very little heat and enough rain to do the job! Skeered Bryan away from comin over too - oh well! Not hot at all - have all the windows open - it's cooler outside than in the house.
Changed my mind ... I stepped outside for a minute just now .. gettin awfully humid - turned on the air conditioner ta get rid a some a the humidity indoors.

Saw the 'Texas size' produce from yer garden in the store.
The Italians in my neighbourhood grow that type a zucchinis and let em grow ta 6, even 8 feet long - but they're rather skinny compared ta yers.
I should go out there and take a picture a Bryan's 'heritage' tomatoes - they are oddly shaped too - very!

and they still eat them? huh!
I was thinking about trying some zucchini bread...since you grate up the zukes, I thought that even if it is tough grating it would help...
-
Hey! do you see the same ad I see?? for an upside down tomato planter?? I want one! LOL!!!
that is funny....you only mentioned tomatos the one time!!
:laugh: :laugh:
wonder how much it is....you think I will get a virus if I click on it??
-
I did it...I clicked on it....hope I don't catch something!! LOL!!
anyway...it is only 12 dollars...that isn't bad. I might get one. They said you could use it for other stuff like herbs and all. how fun... :)

No I'm not getting any tomato add (mine's for Home Depot!)
Really doubt (big time you'd be gettin virus from checkin out these ads!)
Here's the first a 3 photos I just took a Bryan's heritage tomatoes - remember - they're still just plum size.

:laugh: :laugh:
good lort...are they supposed to look like that? is this a new variety for you or the ones you always plant?
-
I don't think we get the same adds (all the time)
Some Most a mine are Canadian (go figure, right? :laugh: )
A close up of on a diff'rent plant

huh...I figured since the internet is supposed to be global we might...we have Home Depots here!
(Don's favorite store!)
-
Well the Home Depot advertisements I'm seeing include Canadian locations and a homepage that finishes with .ca - soo it's directed at this Canadian (though I'm not sure why they're giving me the address of one a their stores in British Columbia :P )
-
I don't think we get the same adds (all the time) Some Most a mine are Canadian (go figure, right? :laugh: )
And I get lots of Aussie ads. I want to know how they know where I am. >:(
Roland, those tomatoes are the same shape I remember them being as a child. You can still occasionally find them in the shops here.
-

They'll no doubt grow into some lage orbital shape ... and they may very well be the ones that are suppose ta be near hollow inside (like I said - they're 'heritage' toms - suppose ta be unusual)
Doesn't look good fer eatin any garden grown tomatoes here in the near future. The other (types a tomato) plants are just producing flowers - no buds yet ... and it's already July 8TH!!

OK Jess
Sent ya Andy Williams' version of Canadian Sunset. It ain't country, but I thought I recognised the lyrics and had to butt in!
Should have arrived by now, I think. :)
-
excellent....I am impressed! I didn't think I really had enough information for it to be found!
guess I was underestimating the knowledge of our resident music expert!! ;)
-
You're always exagerating! Like that comment in 'My Great White North'.
Maybe (just maybe) some a my pics are just as good as some a those in the catalogue, but then, those flowers are much more attractive than my ordinary, run-a-the-mill varieties a lilies.
-
I think your lilies are every bit as pretty as theirs! just different colors is all...
and you are too modest!
-
And now I think you left without saying good night!!
:(
bonsoir, Roland
sweet dreams...

Ain't even 5:00 AM out there and you're already up?!?! What's with that?
Hello Jess! (and all of the BetterMost World!)

What are your plans for the day? (and don't you DARE say you are gonna take a nap!!) :laugh: :laugh:

I'm gonna go outside & check for new (black lilies?) flowers.
Gonna be 32C (90F) today with a 70% chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
Not takin a chance - gonna water the flowerbeds this mornin ...
-
90!! that is hotter than it is gonna be here!
wow!
-
No! No blackies, but another white lily'll be openin up and the new flower I posted this mornin's near open.
Also got somethin ta show ya (I worked in the garden yesterday :) )
It's already warmer outside than inside - gonna be a scorcher taday!
-
here or the Great White North??
I am so surprised that it is gonna be 90! You can tell Bryan it is hotter than Texas out there! :o
-
Hey Jess,
Did you receive that song by Andy Williams I sent ya last night?
It prob'ly wasn't the version of 'Canadian Sunset' you were thinking of, but it was the right song, right?
-
Yes I did and it is the right one...and that version is fine! (I have only heard it a couple of times)
-
hey! Where is Roland? He better not be taking a NAP! >:( >:(
Hey, Fritz!!
How was the pool party? Did ya'll have a good time? was it HOT HOT HOT?
(get any pics?) :laugh: :laugh:
-
Hey Jess! The party was great, it was hot, yet I spent more time in the hot tub with Earl (and 5 other guys), not much time in the pool. We had fun. But no pictures, I'm afraid, nobody was taking any pictures, and since I was new to the group, I figured it would be better to wait.

Six, including Earl.
And it was right before sunset, so it wasn't all that hot right then.
-
oh now that does sound nice...I am sure you had something cool to drink... :)
I bet it was a fun day.
-
Yep, Sangria and beer, though sodas the last few hours, since I was driving. Met a whole bunch of interesting guys from the Shenandoah Valley and western Maryland.
-
sounds like a BIG party...you said you were new..Were they people Earl knew?
Hey, is Earl still doing his amateur wrestling matches?
-
Yes, the people there were Earl's friends, whom I hadn't met until then. Earl has cut back on the wrestling because of a recurring shoulder problem, a flareup of a childhood injury. He's taking it easy for a while. But during these summer months he's got more than enough stuff to do at the cabin in West Virginia.
-
he is fond of that cabin....I am sorry to hear his shoulder has been bothering him..
He better be careful up there in those woods cause he could sure enough hurt himself :P
-
Yes, he could, but he's been good about not overtaxing the shoulder. He is disappointed about not getting in as much wrestling in as he'd like, due not only to the shoulder but because at the wrestling venue younger guys don't want to wrestle with older ones like me and Earl. Even though Earl could whip their butts easily!
-
well that is probably why they don't want to wrestle him!! Their egos couldn't take it...LOL!
I've seen Earl...he looks like there is not a lot of 'give' in him...
-
That's a pretty good way of putting it! :laugh:
-
OK! I'm awake now, ... and eating supper. My Newfie neighbour, who appreciates my garden saw me takin a few pics and asked if I wanted ta try her pasta salad ... and then her regular salad ... and VOILÀ ... supper. Very tasty, but I guess that's mainly cause a the garlic. and I didn't hafta prepare it in this ridiculous heat!
No, still no black lilies, but I'm hopeful - for tomorrow ...
-
Do you live in Ontario, Sheriff? I've been to the Rock a couple of times, love it there.
-
Why don't the neighbors ever bring US dinner? That's what I want to know!
-
Do you live in Ontario, Sheriff? I've been to the Rock a couple of times, love it there.
Yup - Lived here all my life.
And Newfoundland and Labrador is the only province I've never visited ...
Neighbour said I REALLY should go - Her mother makes the best soup and her sister's bread is so good, it'd be worth spending the 30# to have it shipped!! (now you KNOW she's crazy fer saying this, right?)
Anyways . I'm sure appreciatin the free meal, right now! ;D
-
Why don't the neighbors ever bring US dinner? That's what I want to know!
Maybe cause ya just go out there and steal their watermelons?
Or maybe cause they don't care for your flower garden like mine feels about mine?
Or maybe cause they're not Newfies? (a very friendly buncha people)
Maybe it's mainly cause a door #3
-
Newfie...Newfoundland!! Oh!!
Doh!
hey! we only steal from that ONE guy!!!
-
I'm missing the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. If I can get back to Alaska sometime, I'd love to take the road north from Edmonton to Yellowknife, tour around, then loop around back to the Alaska Highway at near Fort Nelson. Wonderful area. The road was unpaved the first time I went in the mid-70's, but a little over ten years ago it was paved except for construction areas. It was nice to be able to appreciate the scenery a bit more and not concentrate on avoiding potholes in the road!
-
Ain't been to any a the territories ,,, don't count em cause they're not provinces.
What's your favourite province there Fitz? Mine's Québec. And of the 20 or so States I've been to, I guess it's a toss up between Utah and Minnesota
-
if I were ever to do a cruise I would want to go up into Alaska...the water looks so blue and the glaciers are just amazing!
-
I do love to visit Québec indeed, especially to get the opportunity to speak a bit of French. But for scenery, I'm quite partial to Alberta, which was why I was especially happy to visit there this summer. As far as the states go, I find there are wonderful things to see and do everywhere, though if I ever won the lottery big and could retire anywhere I wanted to, I'd be most partial to northern New Mexico. I love that area, ever since I first went there back in Army days in the early 70's.
-
oh no!! You speak French!!??
ok...opening the window to Babelfish...

As-tu visité la rive sud (du Saint-Laurent)? Il te faut visiter TOUTE la Gaspésie. C'est la partie du Québec que même les Québécois ne connaîssent pas! Tout l'monde prend le racourci à travers le parc dans la gaspésie et ils ne voient pas la plus belle partie de 'La belle province'. Te souviens-tu lorque ça c'était le logo sur les plaques d'imatriculations du Québec? Ouais, je montre mon âge! :laugh:

how do you say Jess in French??!!
-
Oui, j'ai visité la Gaspesie, mais il y a plusieurs ans depuis j'étais là. En 1972, Nouveau-Brunswick, Nouvelle-Écosse et Québec, la péninsule et la rive sud vers Lévis, ville de Québec et Montréal. C'était ma première fois dans ces provinces. Très belles!
-
Ya! Sure Jess - It's all 'bout you!
En français on dirait Jessica ou simplement Jess!

Non, je ne me souviens pas ce logo.
Oh! Le logo avant que "Je me souviens". Oui, quand l'abbreviation de la province était PQ et pas QC.

Did you visit southern bank (of the St. Lawrence)? It is necessary you to visit ALL Gaspésie. It is the part of Quebec which even the Inhabitants of Quebec did not connaîssent! All the world takes the racourci through the park in the gaspesy and they do not see the most beautiful part of ' beautiful the province'. Do you remember lorque that it was the logo on the plates of imatriculations of Quebec? Ouais, I show my age!
dang but that Babelfish is good.....
:laugh: :laugh:

Oui, j'ai visité la Gaspesie, mais il y a plusieurs ans depuis j'étais là. En 1972, Nouveau-Brunswick, Nouvelle-Écosse et Québec, la péninsule et la rive sud vers Lévis, ville de Québec et Montréal. C'était ma première fois dans ces provinces. Très belles!
T'as visité la Gaspésie, mais as-tu fait TOUT LE TOURS de la Gaspésie? Y compris l'embouchure du Saint-Laurent? Les falaises sur la rive sud sont encore plus majestueuses (et beaucoup moins bien connus) que les Rocheuse ou même les Laurentiennes.
Je dois aussi admettre une attraction à la nouriture québeçoise. ;)
Mais le sable et les merveilleux couchés de soleil de l'Isle-du-Prince-Edward sont aussi inoubliables.

Il y a beaucoup à voir en haut, et je voudrais visiter la Gaspésie encore, vraiment!

Poor Jess - That's got to be the worst translation I've ever seen comin outta Babelfish... All the important words are not translated.

Hey Jess, come back! We'll switch back to English. Over in the DC Forum, when Adrian's partner Chad and I are by ourselves in the Diner thread, we'll start conversing in French.

I didn't know Adrian had a partner!
no ya'll are fine...I am getting the gist. But heck I never travel anywhere!! I just have to listen to ya'll and imagine! I am SO looking forward to the pictures from Alberta!!

Moi je parle en français quand ça me tente... peut importe qui me lit. Oui je parles à Jess en anglais, mais je parle ma langue ... c'est ma façon d'imposer au monde et leur dire qui je suis! Je suis francophone et je parle aussi en anglais, mais il faut employer sa langue ... sans ça, on la perd! Et je crois que Jess m'accepte assez bien pour comprendre ça.

One thing I've noticed about Jess ... She'll post a reply everytime - just to keepthe conversation going ... There's a reason why she has more posts than anyone else ... and the person who's got the second most posts is her buddy Garry who has fewer than half as many posts as she!

Yes I started feeling like I was on vacation (finally) on Thursday ... a full week after it had actually started!
Getting things done in the garden, yes - not as fast as Bryan would like, but then, it's been Texas hot in these here parts lately - reached 34C (93F) here today!
Flowers are slowing down - getting fewer things to show off now - even the bulk of the lilies are fading. Garden's gonna be easing into a lazy 'sunflower' period now!
What did you mean by '"The Bermuda went crazy"?
Sorry about the weeds - but I guess it'll keep you busy - and busy's good! ;)

Good Mornin BetterMostians
Looks like another scorcher taday. Muggy, 30C (86F) & a chance a rain later today - like I'm gonna wait for that! - already been outside ta water the flowers. the 21C outside is still cooler than indoors so all my windows & doors and fans are trying to suck out the heat from the house.
Each day should be a little cooler than the previous one, so they say ... so one manages.
Was nice ta have a couple a people visit the Bar last night (fer a second nights in a row, I think).
Anyways, I'm sure Andy enjoying his vacation down in P.E.I. - I'm hoping ta get a postcard from him soon.
-
GOOD MORNING!!
;D ;D

Bermuda is a grass... ;)
Yep, it's a nasty grass. Gets into everything.
It creeps and crawls and burrows under and comes up in all my flower beds!
I'll take fescue anyday!
Good Mornin!!

It was SO hot today....and HUMID...and those old ladies can't feel the heat so they NEVER want to turn the A/C on...they just want to run a box fan...but that doesn't do a THING for the humidity....

Good mornin BetterMostians
Been a cool night here in the north, however temperatures are going to get back to normal, mid 20's (mid 70F's) with only a slight chance a rain (30% chance yesterday translated into roughly 5 drops per square feet) so I'll be watering the flowerbeds.
Bryan dug out most of the yellow iris yesterday and took about 10 away for friends - leaving me with only about - 60!!! I've almost finished preparing the border around the first flowerbed (we're still dicussing what to put in there).
Pretty sure at least one more daylily will show up today (and yet another unposted lily made an appearance yesterday).
9 days away from the start of my Alberta pilgramage.

Good morning from the beautiful mountain state of WEST Virginia! Using Earl's computer right now while he's digging in his rootcellar. This is a slow dialup line, so it's slow going to post.
We're about 2800' on the side of Spruce Mountain, which has the highest point in the state at 4860'.

dial up is all I have ever had. jeez can't imagine how many posts I would have if I didn't have to wait on the connection! LOL!!
how is it up there? nice and cool or does it get hot?
-
It can get warm (I think it reached 90 at some point a couple of years ago), but it's usually 10-20 degrees (F) cooler than the DC area, which makes it pleasant. Though winter is another matter, since it can be snowed in here weeks on end. Orangy's running around barking his fool head off, he's probably chasing a groundhog.
It's in the upper 60's/lower 70's here right now. Sunny with some clouds. Friday afternoon was brilliantly sunny, yesterday a bit hazier. There might be some t'storms later this afternoon here.
-
Has Orangy ever encountered a skunk? we have them here and every dog we have has had 'unfortunate' meetings with one.
-
for that matter so has my husband :laugh:
couldnt make him stay outside though... :P he said he owned the place so he was coming in! ::) ::)
-
Yes he has, twice. Both times out here in WV. He was banned from coming inside the cabin for many days each time. He seems to have learned his lesson, because he hasn't tried that again since he was a little puppy.
-
I love a big ol dog...how old is he? We have had a run of dogs dying or coming up missing. We had five adult dogs and eight puppies. Now we are down to four adults and one puppy! :P
the state says there are no cougars around here but we have seen prints and people we trust say they have seen them. The state says what we have been seeing is bobcats. Right. Like we can't tell the difference between a little ol bobcat and a cougar. >:(
I think that is what is getting those puppies. We have found remains and the only other thing we can think of that could do that is wild hogs. I know I don't go to my garden anymore without a weapon. (I have my garden way out back...so I don't have to weed it! :laugh:)
-
Orangy's a pretty large dog, and being large, at 11 1/2 he's up in years. Chasing animals is about the only time he's very active, usually he just lies around. He looks a bit arthritic getting up and lying down. He's our first and only dog so far, when he passes we'll probably get another one, probably a little smaller. There have been some mountain lion sightings here, as well as some bears, but no encounters with Orangy.
-
11 is old for a big dog...ever think about getting a cat?
I got a cat that thinks it is a dog. Fetches and everything! LOL!!
-
Our next-door neighbor back home has several cats, so we have them in our yard, when Orangy doesn't chase them. But we'll stick to good old friendly dogs.
-
I read a study about how they think now that cats were domesticated before dogs...that they domesticated themselves by coming in to eat rodents and all..and that explains their attitude problem!
I say they haven't been domesticated yet...we are still waiting....
-
Getting ready to head back to Arlington now, see you tomorrow probably!

Good afternoon folks

So I went out to plant em in the back (before watering) only to find that the area that Bryan & I had decided to put em in wasn't anywhere large enough ... Sooo ... I started working the soil (removing roots and weeds) before I could plant em. THEN I watered the garden - was outside for about 90 minutes! - And I still haven't replanted the Saturday grass skirt iris. Now I'm hungry!
It's still cool out here (sweated in my jeans & sweater), but sunny ... Wonder when the real hot weather's gonna return.

Not really, not for me - I do some weeding (havent done any a that in a month) & the daily waterin, is all - oh & the photographing. Didn't see anything new this morning, though the tall spotted pale yellow lilies are nearly opened - and I took a few pics yesterday. (including that awful wasp nest - it's HUGE!!!! and pretty)

Kinda early ain't it - What time zone ya in? Hunh?
Ah hell, here ya go: (http://www.ratebeer.com/beerimages/full_size/707.jpg) Sorry, but we serve beer only ...
-
the state says there are no cougars around here but we have seen prints and people we trust say they have seen them. The state says what we have been seeing is bobcats. Right. Like we can't tell the difference between a little ol bobcat and a cougar. >:(
There have been some mountain lion sightings here, as well as some bears, but no encounters with Orangy.
Alright, can someone please explain to this Antipodean the difference between bobcats, cougars, mountain lions and any other member of the cat family (pumas? panthers??) that happen to live in your corner of the planet.

Eastern, it's almost 10am. I'm starting early today! ;)

Well I'll be in & out a the Bar & Grill today, so you can address you requests to Andy.
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice.jpg) He's back from his holidays and looking all the more rested for the experience.
-
Hi Roland!!
how is your afternoon going?
-
Hiya Jess - slept (for about 2 hours) over the lunch hour! It's already evening here.
Been doin the CIV4 thing again - all day long!
Hey! Isn't it a little earlier than usual fer you to be online?
-
sometimes I peek on around this time. But usually you are off napping!!
glad you got a good nap earlier. You were probably tired from this morning!

sorry!
bobcats
(http://www.bigcatrescue.org/images/bobcatCrazyHorse.jpg)
a little bigger than a housecat....no tail, spotted....
cougar, puma, mountain lion...all the same thing...just have different names in different parts of the country
(http://www.bigcatrescue.org/images/floridapanthercatrina.jpg)
the fourth largest cat in the world behind lions, tigars and jaguars. 7 to nine feet long. can jump 20 feet. Has been known to kill adult humans. mostly eats deer. Has a long tail and no spots (kittens have spots not the adults)
panther is a black jaguar. I am not so sure there is a population around these parts but I do think it is possible one has escaped from a private collector. (would you tell anyone if your illegal animal that no one knows about got loose?)
-
Hey Jess and Sheriff, right before I head for bed.
And another word for that feline beast is catamount, which is common in West Virginia. But it is true that it has many different names in various parts of North America, where it is widespread though each one requires a large territory so the population overall is not large.
-
looking at them though you would be hard pressed to confuse one for the other!
the local county extension agent was on the news the other day and said that you knew there werent any here because you never saw them dead beside the road.
(I have never seen a dead goat out side the road either.....but I KNOW we have those!) ::) ::)
how redneck is that? other states have real scientists....our state has some yahoo whose idea of research is driving back roads looking for roadkill....
-
Bonjour! Got maybe an hour before I gotta head off.
Expecting pleasant weather for the whole week - they're saying a max of around 25C (77F) just about everyday. Good for the tomatoes, good for the morale.
Couse, Andy's here (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice007.jpg) smiling away.
-
Good morning!!
how are things up there in the Great White North today?
-
did you notice that I didn't even say anything about being the first one here this morning?
;D ;D
-
hello? I think Roland done took off again.
Maybe he is all upset cause I beat him in this morning.... ;D
(not that I am gonna say much about that....)
-
Good morning!!

Feeling fine - Got me a few things to do in the next hour - Have breakfast, water the garden & shower. - plenty a time to do all a that ... Starting with ... the garden.

I posted this last post, but, not having checked, it got stalled, cause you posted something at the same time I did (half an hour ago!)
Anyways, half an hour left, and I only gotta eat & shower now. (yup, it takes some 30 mintures ta water the garden.)
-
oops! I wondered! I looked at Whos online and I saw you posting...and posting...and posting.
I thought you were writing a epic novel or one of 'Phillips' kinda posts! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
how long a trip is it? Does the bus go pretty close by?
-
T - 66 minutes - still gotta eat breakfast - the trip takes about 40- 45 minutes and I like giving myself some 10 minutes as a safety measure, so, in ten minutes, I'm outta here!
-

Not such a large garden, but there are a lotta plants. (Go check out "My Greatest White North" in Our Daily Thoughts Forum)
Thanks Jess - you too!

Thank you Jess and Fritz! I don't think going on a bush walk in your neck of the woods would be advisable. That picture of a cougar/puma/mountain lion/catamount looks nasty. What with those and bears, I think I'd prefer to take my chances with our snakes and spiders. They might be as deadly but at least you can outrun them!! LOL
-
pfft....and I KNOW I can't jump 18 feet...glad to have the dogs with me when I go out to the garden... :laugh:
-
Good Mornin everyone!
Sure have missed y'all!
Hows everyone doing?
It's so good to see Andy back!! ;D

I've just reread the confusing post - the shirts that are not going to Alberta are the dirty ones (white shirts, mostly ... hardly ever wear em). The Western shirts are already clean & won't have o be taken into the dry cleaners.

Bryan and Adam get off ok? Did you go to the airport?
-
Bryan and Adam Evan get off ok? Did you go to the airport?
No I didn't go to the airpost
Last I heard a Bryan was last night (woke me up to answer a question about a plant, question I'd left on his answering machine).
Hey Jess - went looking for my rocking chair and found it in the store when I was telling you 'bout those videos I was impressed with - Did You listen to em? - remember, the 'Numa Numa' song?
-
not yet...I got a list to listen to this weekend when I have time for them to load while I bake!
:)
seems the most efficient way of doing it since it takes so long to download....
-
What? you busy posting pics? can't come talk to your ol pal??
-
Good morni....
Roland?? Where you at???
hello!??
???
-
Hey Miss Jess!

How could you ask, Lee? You KNOW that when no one's around, Andy (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice010.jpg) is in charge here!
They said it was gonna be raining all day here. They said that the high for the day had already been reached at 7 this morning (when it was raining). However, when I got up from my morning nap, I found that it was sunny and quite humid and hot! feels like it's near 30C It most certainly is a lot hotter than the 21C (70F) that was predicted for today! [They just confirmed it on the radio - current temperature 24C, humidex says it feels like 32! (90F) - so much for the predicted high of 21!]
-
Oh My!
How could That have slipped my mind!
Be still my heart!! ;D
-
Good mornin Jess (it's past midnight here!) Guess I'm up pretty darn late tonight!
So the boys argued about the video hunh? But what did they think a the song? And you? What did you think a the song?
-
well it wasnt country...
;D
didn't really like it that much...but the boys were cute...and they sure seemed to be having fun. Made me smile..
I didn't say anything else about it to the boys...didn't want to get into the fight!
-
You haven't been online much today? Real life getting in the way?
-
Well I came in this morning...there was no one here.
Then I sent some personal messages...and went to work.
Then I came back....NO one had answered ANYTHING I left this morning....so I went off to the bookstore to pick on them about Harry Potter....stayed too long, visiting...
-
What did you do all day??
I am eating a peanut butter sandwich!! (AT MIDNIGHT!) ::)
First peanut butter I have had since the Great Tainted Peter Pan Scandal of 2007!!

Had me 3 naps today (maybe just 2). Had supper at 11 pm. Otherwise, not much - CIV4. It rained off and on all day long and when it wasn't raining, even though the temperature was below 75F, the humidity brought that up to 90 most a the day! It's cool now - got all the windows open.

What does THAT mean - the new book comes out on the day that I'm leaving for Alberta. Might pick it up along the way to the airport.
-
It was 90 here Sunshine most of the day but it rained like a son of a gun for about a half hour!!
Crazy business. The sky was blue one minute...then the next it is black as night and storming...for half an hour. Then back to blue skies!!
::)
I am gonna have to start getting to work sooner in the morning. It is just too hot to be cleaning stalls and all at noon! :P
-

Well to hear them tell it...this is the biggest event since the coming of Christ....they are decorating the store and getting a party together. The employees are gonna be in costume.. ::) ::)
I like Harry Potter ok...but I can wait til Sat to pick it up. I am NOT gonna be there at midnight to get it!
-
Well that's it for me tonight
01:30 AM - now that's late for me!
Bonsoir Jess. À demain - my last full day before my departure! :)

Good mornin y'all
Last full day in Toronto's started - gonna be a busy one.
Andy's here (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/odds%20and%20ends/bar%20and%20grill/atyerservice007.jpg) taking the slack (and Lee too) when I'm unavailable.
Lookin to be the last rain day of the week (was a doozie yesterday - The grass LOVED it) then back to hot, hotter & possibly hottest again here in La ville reine.
edit: Oh by the way. It's 15C right now. Remember that kinda weather Jess? 59F? Luxurious!

'course not! But today's chores day. Already done 3 loads a laundry. Fridge will have to be looked at, gotta make sure I got i-pod charges, camera battery charged (and bring chargers along for both), make a list a other things I need - been a while since I've had a long trip. Normal trip for me is just going up to Timmins where I stay with relatives. This is gonna be dif'rent.

Good lord! Y'all get up and at it early!!
I'm doing good to be showerd, dressed and at work! LOL
-
That's cause I'm a mornin person. Actually I napped twice suring the day yesterday (cause it was so hot!) and only got to bed past 1:30 AM, way late than my usual. I'm usually up by 4 in the morning (if I sleep well ... 3 is more common), but in spite a the fact that I got up so late (near 6 AM) I've been busy! ;D
-
Goodness! I'm usually in bed ny 11:30 and up at 7.
i can't usually sleep much past that unless I'm sick.
In my younger years I'd stay out all hours and get up around 2:30 or 3pm.lol
Can't do that anymore. Wouldn't want to anyway.

Did I ever tell you?
I once drove up to Timmins with my sister during the day, just to find out (once I got there) that I'd forgotten my meds. Drove back to Toronto the same evening (that's when I almost hit a black bear running across the road - scared me s**tless), got back here around 4 in the morning, got 3 (or 5 - can't remember) hours sleep and drove back up to Timmins on the sencond day - total of about 1 400 miles in roughly 30 hours!
Forgot my pills (just one type though) just once since then - and got a refill in Timmins that time! Don't think I'll forget em this time!

Between 2000 and 2003 I spent all my free time downloading songs from various eras. Recordings started around 1880 - charts started around 1890 - so somebody's put together a book of all charted songs before the rock era (1955) started and I got me some 9 000 songs (including virtually all the top 40 charted songs from 1956 to 1989)
On my i-pod, right now I've got 266 songs from 1950, 223 songs from 1951 and 217 songs from 1952 plus 50 of my most favourite french songs. - It's a work in progress! :D

WOW! Thats cool!
I love older music actually.
I love the McGuire sisters, Ricky Nelson, Glenn Miller, Billie Holiday, ELVIS!!!!!!! (what kind of southern boy would I be if I didn't love Elvis). Jimmy Rogers, Ray Price etc etc I could go on!
I'd love to hear the songs form the 19th Century. Have you ever seen the movie The Song Catcher? It has some great folk music that dates from the early 1800's. I remember hearing a lot of that sung by my Grandmother and her sisters.
When I was real little my Great Grandmother sang me an Indian Lullabye that was passed down form her Grandmother who was a Blackfoot indian from Montana.
I think Music is awesome and keeps history alive!

Good Mornin BetterMostian
Been gettin the last details done before I leave (in 2 and a half hours) for Allberta.
Last time I did a long trip was about 6 or 7 years ago - with Bryan - Went east by car, this time, I'm flying west.
Feels unreal right now.

An evening on horseback is a good evening!

An evening on horseback is a good evening!
sometimes I think I forget that riding horses is not a job but a joy.

sometimes I think I forget that riding horses is not a job but a joy.
It sure is to me!
I love it. It's my escape and my solace sometimes. I get on my horse and fly across the fiels with the wind in my hair becoming one with the horse in a fluid motion! God theres nothing like it!
Or just walking through the woods in the creek is so calming and cooling. Sometimes I just let the horse go and I just sit there in my own world.
I want to learn more about horses and breaking them in and training them. I'm pretty fair now but I need to learn a lot more.
Oh Good Mornin Sunshine!! ;D

Hotel sit right outta Canmore, and I've gotten some great shots of the many mountains right outta out lodging (including the three sisters)
I'm sure y'all will get tired of all out talk a this trip before we're done postin all we've taken.
Be talking ta ya'll soon enough.
-
Oh please....like us stay at homes EVER get tired of hearing about the traveling people! LOL!
-
I was SURE the Sheriff would be back this morning.
dang it.
I been hearing rumors round town that someone that frequents this establishment had a ride on a mechanical bull!!!
now I KNOW it werent ME??
Lee, was it you?
Fritz? You and Earl been rodeoing??
WHO?? Who could it have been??
;D ;D
-
I sure have in the past but not lately! LOL
I'm thinkin those rough and tumble days of my mis-spent youth are over.
I'd be afeared to see what that kind of action would do to my back! :laugh:
-
I would have loved to do that, but the days when i could have done it are way way gone.. Im sure i would look just like a pretzel if i did it now...maybe we could find somewhere in san fran to do that...i would love to watch............
-
you can adjust the speed and the strength of the movements. You just have to have a decent type running it. At the last rodeo we had there was one and the operator was real good about not overdoing it for the little kids....and the old people....LOL
but he gave them young men a ride!
-
Ahem uhh....cool Jess sounds good? I will if you will. Come to SanFrancisco...airline fares are really cheap, and you could stay with me and my exdaughter in law, and lynne.
We could have us a rip roaring good time.....
-
whoa whoa whoa....I didn't say NOTHING about ME getting on the bull! I am the photographer!!
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Hey Jess, still around! Glad you enjoyed the pics in the Alberta thread. Earl's in WV at the moment, but is coming back home Wednesday.

The Dog Days of Summer are here! :P

good morning Lee!

ROLAND!! bonjour!!
Ya'll have a great day!
:-* :-*

Jess,
You had asked me about my horses a while back and I don't think I ever answered you.
Well, truth is, I'm not sure what all of them are! LOL
All of our horses are rescues. I know we have a quarter horse and a paint and I think one is an Arabian.
the other 4 I'm not so sure.
I'll have to send you some pictures and see if you can help identify them.
I wasn't raised around horses. My Dad bought some land about (about 48acres) 10 yrs ago and we started getting horses about 4yrs ago. So far we have cleared 2 pastures and were working on another when my Dad got sick. So the horses have plenty of room.
Some were in really bad shape but they are all healthy and happy now.
One of the horses was so emaciated when we got her that the bones in her hind quarters were about to poke through the skin. We started feeding her and she ate...well, like a horse! LOL
Turned out she was pregnant! So That is how I got my horse Dancer!
-
How sweet! I look forward to seeing pics! I assume you ride Western? Has your daughter ever done shows?
-
I see the Sheriff in town! Everyone on your BEST behaviour!!
Hi Roland!!
XX
-
Just checkin in from time to time
Preparing for my sister's arrival ... a couple a hours ago, I made a list a thinkgs I should do before she gets in with her brood - half way there!
She'll be in between 1:00 and 2:00 AM
-
brood! I thought it was just gonna be her. How many are coming?
-
hey, don't forget our Great North picture today! or tonight...
*Jess pushing for more!*
-
brood! I thought it was just gonna be her. How many are coming?
Just Claudette and her husband, Mark and their daughter, Cora-Lynne ... and they're expected to leave early in the morning, on their way to Kingston. This is just a cheap hotel on their way way to their real destination - Where their other daughter is performing, either with the cadets, or some such event.
-
so they get to save the cost of a motel....AND get points for visiting brother all in one! Score!
:laugh: :laugh:
aw well. Just one night huh?
-
Yea & in two weeks, Daniel will be over for 6 days (or so). Daughter Gabrielle's getting some kinda operation (for her foot, I think)
Claudette just called - they're 10 minutes away. The place is just about ready!
-
at least she is polite and gives you plenty of warning...
so you can come up with a good story for why that young cowboy you caught in Alberta is staying with you... :-X :-X
-
looks like Roland stayed up too late visiting with Claudette!
Well good morning ya'll.
Roland....you have a good day!
:-* :-*
Lee...you have one yourself there! ;)
-
Lie! Lies, I tell you!
I was up after just 3 and a half hour's sleep.
Claudette just left (after taking me to the groceries (don't have a car to go to all the cheaper places) and to breakfast).
They'll be in Kinkston 'round 1:00 pm, where her other daugher is taking sailing courses with the cadets! - Marc (her son) is way out west in British Columbia, with the cadets, as well.
And she didn't give me much warning - She called me about this visit while I was away in Alberta, so I didn't get back to her until 3 days ago.
Good mornin!
-
Hey Roland and Jess. I just posted the last of the sexy men I had in my Photobucket vacation file. Now it's back to real life. I am loving your pictures Roland. Makes me want to visit Alberta myself someday ;D

Hi Lee!!
Another horsey person!!! I have about 30 of the beasties. Here is a photo of my pride and joy, Martillo. He's the mascot of Jess' feedstore and is from Spain.
(http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g160/gallandeer/Andalusians/Martillorearingb.jpg)
And here is one of my littlies who is more your daughter's size. He's from Texas!!! The photo was taken just after he'd had a wash. I'll try and find another (drier!) photo of him for you later today.
(http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g160/gallandeer/Miniatures/Rembrandt2aSept06.jpg)
-
They are beautiful!
Martillo is just georgeous! I can see why he's your pride and joy!!
-
Here is Dancer (my horse) and Donna his Mamma!
Donna has a horribly disfigured hoof. She was found tied to a tree in a pasture. :(
Dancer is the lighter colred horse on the right.
-
Here's another of Dancer.
Gambler is the Grey Horse.
My Daughter with her horse Ginger.
-
oh they are very nice! They look like you take good care of them....they look sleek and sassy!

Here's me Riding Elle. Not the best pic of me but it's a good one of Elle! LOL
Elizabeth and Trio talking!
-
oh they are very nice! They look like you take good care of them....they look sleek and sassy!
yeah, we try to.
We love them a lot and keep them fed, shoed and cleaned.
They are definitely sassy! LOL
Ecspecially Dancer and Ginger. They are the babies.
-
Trio looks like he has a bit of draft in him somewhere!
-
Hey Jess!
Hey Sheriff, great pics of you atop the bucking bronco at Ranchman's!

Hey Dot! Blazy's eating a fair amount and storing up some fat for the winter. Even though we have no place for him to really hibernate, he eats very little during colder periods (turtles can't digest when the temperature is under 70F), so he loses a fair amount of his fat then. He was feasting on raw hamburger yesterday.
-
Bedtime for Bonzo and for early risers on the east coast. G'nite, y'all!

Good night Fritz!!
sweet dreams!
Hey Dottie!!

Jess told me yesterday I should introduce you (Lee) to the guy who was working the mechanical bull at Ranchman's in Alberta. Don't think he's your type (thought I suspect if he's male - any male he just might be your type)

Yucky! I used to hate that. I had a pool that was constantly hit by the sun.....the water got too warm. I would go to a friend's house, her pool was in the shade, sun never touched it. the water was always sooo cool and refreshing.

TIMMINS!!!
Naw - I do my planing at the last minute. Looks like I'll be taking the bus up to Timmins this time, cause I will be able to return to Toronto with my brother 5 days later. Cost of drop off of a car rental (renting it here, and dropping it off in Timmins) is like 200$ - ridiculous. And while I'm there, I can always use my father's car - no one else uses it.
-
TIMMINS!!!
;D ;D
well I am glad I got to wave at you...you will probably be in bed before I get back...so bonsoir, Roland.
xx
-
LOL Bon Voyage mon ami Sheriff... ( I know awful misspelled pigeon french :laugh: ) :-* :-* :-*

Good morning Roland...whereever you are these days! I tell you...used to you could count on getting a Coke and a bit of chocolate when you snuck in here of a morning... ;) ;D
but I guess he is busy getting ready for that trip to Tamale....

I'm behind schedule, but, I just had to share this...
Must be a Reeeaaaaallll s l o w news day. On the radio
1- Police are investigating a brawl in a bar last night that sent 3 people to the hospital
2- a Canadian is gone in outa space today - gonna break the longest space walk by another Canadian on this 'mission' (why do they call em missions anyways?)
3- some publicity for the conservative (Harper's expanding a conservation area in the North Western Territories)
4- we're still waiting to find out if the 6 men will be saved in the Utah mining accident
...
Either this is A REAL bad news gathering station, or there really is no news today, after all, Toronto is a city of some 3 million folks!
-

I like it too...for the first couple of hours...ever now and then. Not all day..
the other day I was at a reining event and half way thru one of the guys went and got the tractor to drag the arena. We played "She thinks my tractor's sexy" while he was doing it...he was so red... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Made it to Timmins - got in at 9:30 (Daniel had been waiting at the station for 40 minutes - I coulda walked from the station to his place in 10 minutes!)
But this is an early to bed place - Denyse prepared a quick (leftover) supper for me, we chatted for 15 minutes, and they both headed to bed, as I will too very shortly. - "When in Rome ..."
-
that was awful sweet of him though..to wait for you like that. I am glad you made it ok. Hope the trip wasn't too bad.

Good morning Sheriff...I see ya'll go to bed early ....and get up early!! :o
How are you this morning?
-
Bonjour BetterMostians.
I'm on Daniel's computer for the next 4 days ... where the letters and symbols on the keyboard are in french and very hard to read cause many of em are also faded and therefore, it's a bitch to type the , . ' l k e d n m ... and a few other symbols (like the square brakets - think they don't exist) so excuse my slowness and my accuracy ...
-
No problem, Sheriff!
-
fast or slow, Roland...fast or slow!! ;)
-
Problem with slow is, that by the time I've finished responding to a comment, two other comments have been posted.
Since I won't be able to play my computer game while I'm in Timmins, I'm likely to post mor'n usual.

o k. I w i l l t y p e r e a l s l o w.

He had some nice horses. You can find some nice horses at these small farms where people breed their own mares. You can find a lot of trash too but if the guy knows what he is doing and is careful he can get one or two quality foals a year.
He had a REAL nice four month old filly; bay with a blaze and one sock.

Hey folks
Near 4 am here -
Thought I'd drop in & give y'all an update.
Sunday ... Daniel will be takng mom yo chuch this morning, then in the afternoon, I'm taking her out to the Star Lake (check out the first 20 pics of "My Great White North" - pics I took last year), where Claudette has again camped out at the 'Rod & Gun'. Wonder if she'll be up to stay with us until the planned 9:00 pm return time... There'll be plenty a folks (Daniel, Claudette and Dominique) who will know how to fulfill her needs - but she'll 'talk' and react more to me (I can make her laugh).
2 more days & we're on our way (Daniel, Denyse, Gabrielle and me) back to Toronto.
-
Mornin' Bar & Grill!
I can't believe I was up at 7:30am on a Sunday. I was hopin' to sleep in. Oh well.
Roland, thanks for the update, hope all is going well!
-
Good Morning, Roland!!
I am so glad you are having a good visit with your mom. Sounds like ya'll have a full day planned for her!
-
Not the whole day - just the afternoon. Daniel informed me this morning that they haven't taken her to mass since she's been hospitalised (another one of her dillusions.) Last time she got out was when André (another brother, from Montréal), took her out to go to a rather fun (by Daniel & family's recollection) gathering at Claudette's in June. Well Claudette's done the arangements for this gathering too, though Daniel will help me get Mom out (he's the only one who appears to know how to get the wheelchair in the car.) By what I've heard so far, She's been more responsive with me that with anyone else ... even Gabrielle says Mom's been something of a zombie (unresponsive) in a long while.
-
That must make you feel good. I am glad you went...
Have you and your mother always had a closer relationship than the others?
And I asked yesterday....you had already left...do you look a lot like your dad?
-

Daniel just showed me a picture he's got on his computer - pic's 20 years old so dad's about 66 and I'm right next to him - I'm 34 y.o. on that one
-
yep, strong resemblence there...you probably are jogging a lot of memories for her. She sees the others more often doesn't she?
Handsome family BTW...
-
you did have some dark hair didn't you!! (but I like the grey...dark haired men have the best grey...)
Handsome fellow!
-
Well we were MUCH younger - 20 years ago ...
Daniel especially (far left) - He's 29 in this picture, looks 19! - one month away from being the father of 3.
-
:laugh: :laugh:
I thought he WAS a teenager!
jeez, Roland, everyone is getting younger looking every year. I swear the boy that sacked my groceries the other day didnt look old enough to be out by himself.. :P :P
-
In this picture, Dad's only 41 - I'm the big eared boy standing behind Mom, and Daniel's on Gaëtan's lap (between my two parents)
-
you really favor that pic....
so which of those kids are you? I can't tell..oops...gotta read your whole post! doh!
aren't you missing a sister in that picture?
-
you really favor that pic....so which of those kids are you? I can't tell..
Go back to the pic - I've modified it to give additional information.
Sharing these cause they're family pics that Daniel has on his computer and said I could post. - This way when I get home I'll be able to download em onto my computer too.
-
love the dress the little girl is wearing...the one in your dad's lap! such a cutie!
-
That's right, the youngest wasn't born yet.
-
man, ya'll had Mom outnumbered there for a while. I bet she was happy to see them girls start turning up! :laugh: :laugh:
ya'll all look like trouble. I bet ya'll ran that poor woman ragged...
-
love the dress the little girl is wearing...the one in your dad's lap! such a cutie!
I think I've told you this before ... My mom was the last girl of her family - had 7 brothers younger than her - helped take care a em. Then when she had her family, she had 4 boys before she had 'Jeannine', so naturally she spoilt her like crazy - after all, even the next child (Daniel), was also a boy - only girl for a long time so Jeannine got good & spoilt!
-
Cool family pics, Roland. Thanks for posting them! You're lucky to have them!
One of the best gifts I got was from my mom a few years ago. She went and had copies of old family photos made, and gave me a small photo album.
I now have pics of my great grandmothers, my maternal grandparents' wedding day, my paternal grandparents' 50th anniversary, all my class pictures from kindergartern through 8th grade, my parents' first communion pics, my mom's senior high school shot, my dad's pic of him when he became a Marine, my parents' wedding day, different holidays, shots of me and my friends.
And she left it half empty so I can complete it. I'm currently working on putting pics in from Brokie gatherings.

Well in my case I've got Daniel to take care a all that stuff - He's got all the pics on file in his computer - grandparents, great-grandparents - any and all pics of relatives, mostly from funeral memorial cards, but still pics a em (he's our generation's genealogical freak!) ... And he's prob'ly got lotsa pics of our family on the computer too.
-
Now I am sure that Jeanine was a perfect angel and not the least spoiled.... ;)

Now I am sure that Jeanine was a perfect angel and not the least spoiled.... ;)
Well, I'm not saying that I wasn't special too, but at least I wasn't spoit. Yes she was - and still is. At 50+ she's not living high on the hog, barely able to take care of herself - on social welfare ... prefering to do nothing than to become productive. She's the only one in the family that's in that predicament - though she has an excuse a sorta reason - got herself diagnosed with some kinda depression problem, plus not too bright.

uh oh....a little sibling thing there...
at least she is not doing seven years in prison for a crime you would rather not name...like someone's sibling is doing.....
-
but I do understand your feelings about that situation...

True 'nough. That would be 'nother one a my brothers - only spent 6 month in jail for that though, and that was years ago ...

hmmm...my brother is doing the seven right now. and I am just mean enough that I won't answer his letters.
what can you do?

Hey y'all! And how is everyone this fine and sunny Sunday morning?
Roland those family pictures are wonderful. You would all have a hard time denying one another the family resemblance is so strong. Good looking folks. It's nice that you all get together from time to time and that you
include your Mom. That kind of stimulation is good for her I'm sure. Sweet she responds so well to you. That must warm your heart.

Hiya Dot.
I always feel young, but when I don't sleep well, I feel all out of sorts. With my knee acting up, it makes it worse.

-
And I thought you were takin care a things while I was MIA ...
So, what's new?
-
well I am not HALF as tough as you...no one is scared of ME...
lets see....David is flirting with SUSIEBELL and ignoring me....we have a new guy hanging out in the Store that speaks....FRENCH!
at home? not much..we are on the final countdown to college ...
-

They don't look right on some men...but on others..like Earl..they seem like they just belong. Like they were meant to be there...My favorite is that one on his calf...

Good morning!
Jocelyn?? What are you doing in here??? You are supposed to be MY customer!!
>:( >:(
:laugh: :laugh:

She's just checkin out the town - let be!
Hello Jess
-
good morning, Roland.
how are things up there in Canada this morning?
are you feasting on homegrown tomatoes yet?
-
Tomatoes in my yard are nothing to write home about (so to speak). Bryan planted some heritage toms ... not very good tasting reds, cherry reds and pear shaped tiny yellows (they taste fine) and the small fist size yellows are just about ready to be collected now.
Mostly I've been enjoying the cucumber from the garden (in sandwich form).
Made pâté chinois for the gang yesterday (got Daniel, Denyse & their daughter stayin over), and Bryan stayed for supper too last night. Today Gabrielle will be entering the hospital for an operation on her foot (a 3 day hospital stay), but D & D will be back for supper later - got a roast pork thawing out as we write.
-
that sounds very good. You are a good brother! MY brother would never cook ME a roast!
-
that sounds very good. You are a good brother! MY brother would never cook ME a roast!
Well, they fed me while I was in Timmins.
Though I've been paying for every restaurant we've gone to. Tuesday was Denyse's 50th birthday. I suggested the restaurant, but Daniel was bitchin throughout 'bout the price (was resonable), the small portions (he's not much on veggies, and there was very little other than the salad - & he don't eat 'ruffage'), and anything else that he wants to (like I could control the weather, or sumthin!) - Gets tiresome!
He tends to expect the attention to gravitate towards him exclusively, but Bryan likes both D & D, so I just shut up more'n I should.
-
well you HAVE been around them for a while now. I can see where that would get on your nerves.....time for a little relief?? I know I would want to pull my hair out if I had to spend two weeks with my brothers... :P
still you are being nice to them....and I think Bryan would get along with just about anyone. He is just one of those guys.
-
I guess it didn't click with me that Daniel and etal would be coming back WITH you...I thought you were there alone. You must be getting pretty tired. It has been a long few weeks full of travel and emotion...
{{Roland}}
crap, and school is about to start. You need a vacation from your vacation!
-
I guess it didn't click with me that Daniel and etal would be coming back WITH you...I thought you were there alone.
More like, I came back with em - didn't hafta pay for the trip back. - Didn't rent a car for the week (just took the bus up and came back to TO with em.)
Well I told ya more'n a week ago that it had dawned on me that the 'holidays' were virtually over.
What with just gettin back from Alberta, Claudette comin over (for just one night), my going up north for 'bout 5 days, then getting D & D stayin over with Gabrielle for near a week. Will have 10 days to myself after they leave, before that first report-to-school day. - of my LAST school year! yeah!
-
I remember you telling me that...about the holidays almost being over. Just didn't realize how much you had still planned to do! :P :P
You are used to being alone there. I would be going stir crazy with the disruption of my routine!! I like guests..but I like for them to go home too... :laugh: :laugh:
-
Not so much the lack of aloneness, so much as the constant bitchin 'bout everything under the sun (and he makes it sound like it's my fault - doen't intend it that way, but that's how it feels like to me).
-

he lets you make the decisions (like which restaurant to go to) so he can be the one to say it is not right?
::)
yeah, that is irritating. very!
I am out. Gotta go in today to the job....have to go by the bank and pick up some money for them first...dang work. Why couldn't I win the lottery? huh?
You be good and try to have a good day...
bonjour!!
-
Jocelyn?? What are you doing in here??? You are supposed to be MY customer!!
I'm allowed to visit Roland aren't I??? ;) I'm still trying to work out the visiting order for next year. Do I go California, Missouri, Texas then Toronto? Or should I start in Texas and then Missouri, Toronto and California at the end. :-\ Decisions, decisions.
OOOOhhh I forgot Wayne!! He's in North Carolina...I think. Right, so now should it be Toronto, North Carolina, Missouri, Texas then California or......??
Oh I forgot I want to go to Oregon as well...and two places in Ohio....and two other places in Texas apart from Jess. I think I'll leave this to the morning to work out. It's getting all too complicated.

I don't, but that size (70kb) is just a tease size - just won't do!
-
Still, it was a lovely surprise - thank you Jess.
-
well I don't know how to make it bigger...I just know how to make it smaller!

-
well I don't know how to make it bigger...I just know how to make it smaller!
I see
My camera takes much larger pictures. Making pictures bigger just distorts em ... Makin em smaller - yea - that's easy.
After Midnight here - gonna call it a night, however, before I go, an update ...
Gabrielle came out of the hospital 'round noon today. Started watching the first season of the 'Waltons' and didn't stop until bedtime, 'round 9.
Plan is they'll be leaving early on Monday.
-
Had Gabrielle ever seen the Waltons before? That is such a good series.
Glad she is doing so well.
bonsoir Roland! I think I figured out how to make them bigger....let me experiment!

Let me know if that size is good...

Bonjour Jess
How were the long goodbyes yesterday?
Here the clan's moved on (for two weeks) - Daniel & Gabrielle will be back for 3 days early next month - just as school starts up again.
My alergies are tearing me up...
-
yuck! Mine act up in the early spring. A guy told me to get some local honey and eat a teaspoon a day to stop them....I am gonna try that. ANYTHING that will help would be welcome.
Good morning....check your pms please. I am trying to figure out an appropriate response...

Bonjour tout l'monde (you too Jess)
We're practically freezing here in the 'Florida-of-Canada' Temps yesterday peaked at 16C (61F) and is nor expected to do any better taday.
Rained though, barely ... more like spitting - need to go out wattering cause I didn't yesterday ...
-

The tomatoes wouldn't mind, but I'd rather shower every other day, thank you (went 4 days without this weekend!)
Hey did I tell of you sightings in my yard?
While I was gone to Timmins, Bryan swears he saw a rabbit in our back yard. Even the neighbour's kid said as much to his mum (he don't talk to me).
And though I haven't been able to photograph it yet, the yellow birds are enjoying the sunflowers. I saw em, Bryan saw em, the neighbour saw em (ran to get her camera, but they gone by the time she got back outside).
-
rabbits!! in town??!
how cool!!
why doesn't the neighbor kid speak to you?
is your camera still usable?
-
rabbits!! in town??! That's right - must be a runaway! :D
how cool!!
why doesn't the neighbor kid speak to you? He's too independent (doesn't even answer the phone in the house - won't even answer the door if it's not for him - strange kid!)
is your camera still usable? Sure - just the viewer's got blotches showing through, but those blotches are not captured by the actual photo takin part a the camera. - if that makes any sense ...
-
huh...maybe he has a bit of autism?
I do know what you mean about your camera....I have a 35M that has the same thing. It is hard to frame the picture with that blotch in it! LOL..but hey, the picture comes out fine and that is what matters.
Looking forward to seeing the yellow birds!
-
good morning, Roland!!
-
good morning, Roland!!
Hello back
You gonna be busy taday? (I thought it was Thursday, already - Bryan just set me straight on the matter :-X )
-
LOL!!
aw! the life of leisure! doesn't matter what day of the week....you just relaxing and enjoying the life!
Bryan visiting or calling?
-
I am gone....hope to see you this evening??
Have a great day!

Gonna be cool again today, thought they claim it'll warm up (near 30C {86F}) later this week.
Have a nice day Jess!

Gonna be cool again today, thought they claim it'll warm up (near 30C {86F}) later this week.
Have a nice day Jess!

Bonjour Sheriff, and all your friends there :)
Just thought I'd pop on over and say g'day.
DON'T TELL JESS THOUGH. ;)
She'd BBQ me!! ;D
Love your site. ;)
I'm still in the office (it's 7.10 pm Friday night here).
Had a quick flick through (Jess suggested flicking through things).
Now I'd better get back to the store, before someone wakes up and finds me here. ;D
But I'll come back. ;)
Ciao. Rob :)

what was wrong? are you sick? coffee is not good for an upset tummy!

there is the Sheriff! MISSED you last night! Did Bryan enjoy the pork roast? What did you serve with it?
-
Bonjour tout l'monde
Yep, Bryan did enjoy the roast a pork. Fixed both games on the new computer and the anti-virus on the old (as well as showing me what I was doing wrong with the Colonization Game <a game I bought way back in 96!!>)
Comment ça va aujourd'hui?
I popped in a while ago, when Bryan called and was reminded that it was recycling day. With all the time away, I'd missed em all this summer, and what with having folks over when I had been in Toronto, there was plenty a recyclables to put out (first time I have to squash my pop bottles to make em all fit in my two boxes)
So I have a good excuse reason to post late taday. ;D
-
uh huh....I don't accept excuses! oh I'm sorry...REASONS!!
You stop neglecting your host duties!! >:(

No, the old dog had to go out. At 14 her bladder ain't what it once was. I try to take the water up after 7 but it's just so dang hot i don't want to do that to her.
Then Elizabeth had a nightmare and I had to go an console her till she fell back asleep.

As a dear friend of mine would say "Are my eyes opened?"
It's been a long day! A little jolt of Joe might do the trick!!

I see now the 'jour' which is day right??
-
Yes Jess, jour is day, as in bonjour.
And aujourd'hui is today
How are y'all, ce soir?
What all's happenin?
-
been a busy afternoon and evening for me...just catching my breath!!
-
bonjour, Roland!
comment ca va aujourd'hui??
-
bonjour, Roland!
comment ca va aujourd'hui??
Ça va bien, merci. Et vous?
Been having 6 hour sleeps at night, just like regular folks (instead a the 3 or 4 hours I had been gettin these past few years)... Think I'm concerned about the upcoming school year? seems not. Maybe it's the knowledge that retirement's a sure thing coming soon ... (or maybe I'm just eating better)
-
So far so good for me. Looks like it might rain.....(if only it would cool it down some!)
those horses are gonna be sweating today!
six hours!! good grief....bet you feel a bit better during the day huh? I have been getting into bed an hour earlier than normal. I can tell the difference.
heck, one day this week I went to bed at 11 pm!!!!! :o
-
I'm still doing the 'lay down' or nap thing in the early afternoon, but I'm staying up till midnight, and, at 6:00 AM, it's still dark out!
Been hot (near 30C - 85F) these last couple a days. Don't open the door and windows in the morning cause a the high pollen count (my allergies), so I depend on the fan to keep me cool during the day, and the air conditioner at night.
Bryan's gone to Winnipeg for the weekend, so he won't be calling, or coming over. There are problems with the games he's 'fixed', but at least I can play em.
-
I was looking at computer games the other day...there was one that had Civ on it...(I think) anyway it had all these Roman or Greek columns and stuff..I think it was a role playing game...but it said 'expansion pack'..is that like an extra for a game you already have? I was gonna get it but I was afraid that I would have had to have something else to play it..
do you know what 'expansion pack' means??

do you know what 'expansion pack' means??
Yes!
You need the CIV4 program to run the Roman expansion pack. Civ4 came out some 20 months ago, and last Christmas, they came out with 2 expansion packs ... the Roman one and the one I just got (and have been playing these last 24 hours) called Civilization4 Warriors. This one's got new buildings, new types of soldiers, new civilization, new scenarios, but it basically runs the same way as Civ4 ... but you DO need the original Civ4 to be able to run the expansion pacs. (Oh, and by the way, they require a HUGE memory card!)
-
I can't just load it on the new computer and play it? I don't know what you mean about a memory card.
-
I can't just load it on the new computer and play it? I don't know what you mean about a memory card.
Games need a certain amount of memory to retain the parameters of games. New games have outstanding graphics, so they require a lot more memory in order to be able to run em. I thought I would need to buy more memory (maybe it's called something else), in order to play the expansion pack, but it runs fine - except for the patches that Bryan didn't install - just takes a lot longer to load up than the plain ol' Civ4 game.
Already warm enough in the house to start using the fan
Did you take your morning pills?
Hey did you notice a short BetterMost outage about 10 minutes ago? (it only lasted a few minutes.)
-
I thought it was my computer!
-
what? Nobody came in today...
come on admit it, Ya'll miss me!
:laugh:

Good morning BetterMostians on this Black Wednesday, last day of freedom before I have to report to ... you know ... work
Temprature's gonna reach the low 39's today (mid 80's) and there's a 'air quality' advisory. I can barely see through the guck in my eyes, and my nose is using up a third of a box a tissues per day. Cold front is suppose to arrive tomorrow, when I'll have to ... you know ... go back to ... work
How are things with you Jess?

Life is so hard isn't it?? ;) ;)

He loves you - he's just showing it to you in a new, more mature kinda way. Not mama's little boy anymore. Besides, he's halfway through his sophomore withdrawal. Give him a break! OK. What did he do?
-
He doesn't want me to go with him to register for college! He is going with CHARLIE!!
HUMPH!
;)
-
Sounds to me my assessment was pretty accurate.
Why would he want his mama to help him with registration?
When I went to university in 1971, my parents did drive me down to Ottawa (an 8 hour drive from Timmins), but I don't think they stayed 24 hours. Set me up in residence and that's about it. Registration was done without em. It's just the way when you're in your late teens...

Bonjour!!

A couple a meetings and setting up my schedule for the upcoming year. All other teachers have to wait to receive mine before they can make theirs.
Otherwise, pretty boring.

aww! the sweet scent of POWER!! Make them all WAIT and BEG for it!
still sounds pretty easy day though.
I know you are SO looking forward to getting back into your reg school schedule... ;D

Howdy, Sheriff! How is the evening going for you?
-
Good evening Jess.
Been ill today - food poisoning, according to Bryan.
How was your day?

oh no!! Poor Roland...that is no fun but thank goodness it wasn't worse...considering all the scandals and recalls we have been having I am surprised we are not ALL sick..
-
No - just a 12 hour thing
Started feeling woozy 'round noon, then had the runs for 4 hours starting 'rond 3 pm, some hot & cold flashes, and been basically fine since 7:00pm (more like the 7 hour flu - just long enough to clear the system.) Got plenty of rest, and fluids.
Bryan'll be over on Sunday.
-
you still gardening or are ya'll putting the yard to bed for the winter? Do you usually have to do a lot to get ready for winter?
-

I've been pretty lazy with the garden in the past month. Got so few veggies from the garden - worst year ever (in 15 years.)
Guess we'll have to learn from our mistakes
Next year should be diff'rent, seeing as my summer will start 3 months earlier ;D

Bonsoir Jess

I have a 'date' in the morning to go riding with a friend. We are gonna win buckles at the shows this season... ;D
so we gotta practice!

Bonjour Jess
How was your day out riding with a buddy yesterday?
-
Bonjour Jess
How was your day out riding with a buddy yesterday?
bonjour!! I had a great time...rode WAY too long considering all the stuff I had to do yesterday. But I was determined to get everything done so I could have ALL day today free...
how was your day?
-
Been sick ... the 24 hour flu, part deux. Hope it's finished now, but I'm famished and not sure what I should eat.
Bryan's suppose to be over some time today
And tomorrow, Daniel & Gabriell are expected in the evening.
Of course, as you'd expect, since I'm at the toilet every 5 minutes (well I was yesterday & the day before), the toilet's not working properly, and now I've lost a part in the mechanism, so I'll have to take a walk to Canadian Tire (Canadian equivalet to Home Depot.)
-
dang Roland...when it rains it pours...Sounds like a lovely way to start off the school year..
-
Roland,
be sure and post today when you can so we know you are ok. Maybe Bryan can help you with your plumbing problem? You don't need to be doing that when you aren't feeling well.
-
there you are! How's the tummy now?
-
Brian posponed his visit till tomorrow ... says he agrees with me that the whole innards might need to be replaced. Isd hoping that Daniel will have a clue about these things. (I think Mima might be a bigger help, or maybe, we should just call in a plummer.)
I'm better today - feeling better, but I'm still not 'regular'.
-
I am glad you are feeling better. Bryan scared he is gonna catch the bug? :laugh:
Have you eaten?
-
Had an apple after the morning toast and orange juice.
More orange juice since then, ginger ale, soup (Lipton) with a couple more slice a toast, then cookies.
It's all going through my system rather fast - no blockage, so it's also coming in a fluid form (just now, since my last post).
Thinking of trying (some) leftover roast beef for supper ...
The portuguese people have reopened for busines, but I'm afraid their chicken might be too greesy for my delicate condition

no no!! Nothing spicy! the roast beef sounds good...breads are good too.
Poor Roland. Wish I could bring you some good homemade stew and fresh bread...
-
bonjour!!!
How is the tummy today?? You get any sleep last night?
-
hey, Lee
I know you don't usually go into the Store so I thought you might like to see this pic. the boys played an awful trick on this poor little filly. They went down and got her and her momma from the pasture where she was born...she pranced along with those little teacup hooves and her lil squirrel tail straight up in the air...all excited to be going on this BIG adventure!! They led the two of them into a stall....turned her momma around and led her out but wouldn't let her follow!! She is all trapped!
poor baby!
(http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h2/etexjess/051.jpg)
I don't think she liked that trick at all.
-
well I guess Roland ain't talking to ME today...since he has been online off and on ALL day and has just IGNORED me....*sniff*
-
Good evenin there Jess - stick around, I've got lovely pics to share - pics that were taken less than an hour ago

Bryan's been here since 11:30 (that would be 10:30, your time) this morning & I've not been on since then.
Took some fine pics, starting with an arrangement of chinese lanters - they're in full colour now.

you got some nice looking ones..I need that one red one in the back there...I got some bacon and that would slice up nicely I think...
-
Hey Jess
Don't think I told you ...
Those yellow (canary looking) birds came visiting a couple a days ago. Must have been 7 to 9 of them feeding away at the sunflower seeds all at once. Knew that if I went outside they would fly away, so I went & got my camera & took picture a em through the picture window - for over half an hour!
They are very flighty - don't stay in one place too long, and even when they do, they're feeding with their tail up. Another problem, not all a em are yellow. The females(?) and maybe the babies are bland. Saw only 2 yellow ones in the lot, but there were some stripes a yellow on the bland one's back.
Still haven't shrunk em or cropped em, but I took some 25 pictures, some a em are pretty good ... ;D
Pictures to come...

Naw - Bryan's seen em, I've seen em, the neighbour's seen em (remember, I told you, she ran in to get her camera and by the time she got back they were gone.)
But last year, before I got a camera, I would sit outside and read, and they would frequently come & feed with me less than 10 feet away. But I never saw more'n 5 at once.
They have a distinct sing song. Thought it was them when I heard em through the open window, and I was right ...

There are (now) many places in the neighbourhood with some sunflowers growing in their yard, but none has as many as I do. Problem is squirrels love em too, and they are definitively a pest. They'll go up to the flower and, by their shear weight, they'll break the stem. Grrrrr!
Not to mention, some a em nested in my garage a couple a years ago - Made quite a mess in there.

Hey, there's no chance you have a BBQ in here, is there? 8)
Only a grill? (phew).
Took a few pics of Oz wildflowers to show you.
-
Bonjour, Roland!!

evening Roland! How was school?
-
School was fine.
The kids are better behaved than I'd expected. Only one troublesome class - the grade 3 ... so far. The grade 6's being a little troublesome, but with their homeromm teacher, that won't last long.
Slept way too late this morning (over 8 hours in bed last night) So I've been crazy busy trying to catch up woth time all morning. Only 2 days left to the week (and what with 2 days not in class next week - one inservice and one for medical resons) next week should be just fine too.

-
Not quite yet ... Haven't had a 'runs free' day yet - thought nothin a the nature's happened at school yet. But yea - I'm feeling stronger than I'd expected to feel ... and I most prob'ly DID need that sleep last night.
No matter ... I'm setting the clock-radio to wake me up at 5 tomorrow mornin - just in case ...

I wasn't good company anyway.

They've never had us doing this kinda in-service outta town before. This is my last year teaching so I'm not feeling that I need a car - just feeling that they are (again) planning things as poorly as possible. If it's too much trouble going to this one, I'll reconsider going to others (only two teachers per school are attending this one and another one later this month). When they've done outta town inservice before, I got some time to organise some kinda car-pooling, but this is just the 6th day of school - poor planning indeed.
Interesting fact I learned recently: our school board's got the highest number of 'official, union supported complaints' from teachers (called 'griefs' en francais) aimed at the school board in the whole province. And I thought ALL our problems stemmed from bad provincial decisions from the Conservative government that was in power up till 4 years ago. No. Seems we've had some god awful leaders in our school board too (not just our [former] pricipal, but also our superintendent - she too has recently taken a leave of absence {halleluiah}.)

You must be feeling like "WHEW thank goodness this is the LAST year I have to do this!!"
being number one is not always a good thing. You ever filed a complaint?
-
I don't know ... Guess not.
Why you askin?
cause I was sitting here looking at my hands...I have some bites on my hands that are peeling and leaving scars. You can sure look at my hands and arms and tell I am no kept woman... :P
their bites leave a big blister. Hurts like...well...like FIRE...(hince the name) :laugh: :laugh:
they are all over down here.

Howdy Sheriff!! How was your day?

Oh, just long enough
They'll have us doing cartwheels again this year

Now, tomorrow morning, I've got to prepare two day's worth a classes (cause I'm taking Thursday off to get my bloodwork done in the morning and seeing my dentist in the afternoon), and tomorrow'll be a very long day. Gonna hafta report on today's doings, help select this year's "shows" at school for this coming year, and, there'll be a meeting after school ...
When is it all ending again?

I do believe that would be March 30, 2008. Six months...but remember...you have weekends off and the holidays...so really only about four months..
four months that will seem like four years!! :-\
{{{Roland}}}
so this is gonna be an early night for you. I am heading out myself...gonna have a 'girls night out'
-
March always has 31 days - March 31st, not the 30th
Girls' night out - enjoy!
-
I thought the 31 was on a Sat...sorry...miscounted!
doing laundry and cooking up some supper before I go. D (the subtle thang) is talking to Jeff on the phone. Apparently Jeff has gotten good on that phone...*ahem*

Runny nose is beginning to feel like more than just allergies...
But I've got a couple a things to do tomorrow, and none a em have anything to do with school.
Bryan called - he's feeling listless too ... He was glad to have cancelled tonight's visit
Didn't get to sleep last night until after 3:30, so I got some work done before then, but still had trouble gettin up before 6 this morning to finish things up. Got everything done before I left for work though (7:10 am)

1- I'm about to call it a night
2- Cold's getting worse - I'm dripping like a faucet now
3- Got to the dentist half an hour early (appointment got postponned 15 minutes) - then they kept me waiting another 45 minutes past my appointment date. Hurt like hell, was frozen for bout 3 hours after I left the place. and cost a pricely 800 somethin$ (most of which will be covered by the insurance) - but this is just the cavities/fillings visit - the major dental work (for which I've already spent my lifetime limit - won't be covered) will be done next month. Right now - I HATE dentists.

Bonsoir, mi ami...hope you feel better tomorrow...(do you have anything to take to help you sleep?)

Usually just being tired (and being sick does make one tired) should help me sleep
Gotta be in school tomorrow - leading an important activity in the afternoon, so I can't just call in sick
Bonsoir tout l'monde.

Whatchu talking bout 'first week'? Hunh?
This was my second week ...
Bryan called around 10 pm. He had called earlier, but I was out with the teachers - having an after work 'liquid gathering.' There were 9 of us there tonight (including the principal) - second Friday in a row.

don't count if you aren't in there with the kids...that first was all easy, sitting around meetings.... ;D ;D

John Stossel is a TV reporter, pretty well known..
and what you talking about RUDELY...Bryan was being sweet and checking on you!!
-
don't count if you aren't in there with the kids...that first was all easy, sitting around meetings.... ;D ;D
That was two weeks ago ... Then last week we had 4 days with the kids. Granted, this week I had a one day in-service and I stayed home yesterday cause of a dental appointment and bloodwork, but today was day 9 with the kids. (ok, day 7 for me ;D )

Hey jess ?
Have you checked out my response to toycoon's post in the 'atheletic' thread? (I posted less than 20 minutes ago)

I lost a whole WEEK?? good lort. My mind needs an overhaul...
-
May have had only 7 days with the kids, but I've been sick for more days than I've been well in those two weeks. Plus there was one day when we had a meeting after school (got home 'round 5:30 that night) and for 4 days I spent all my recesses (and most of my lunch hours) supervising kids in preperation for todays special activity (which BTW happened during my supposed 'free time').
Event was fairly successful ... though a little short. Sent the kids back to their classrooms a full 30 minutes before the end a the school day.
And I'm not usta staying to 'drink' after school either - did that twice since the start a the school year. part a what I'm 'suffering' through as part a my last year with this bunch ;)
-
yeah, being sick drags out the days. And you haven't been sleeping good. what was the special activity??
you being feted huh? LOL!
-

Naw - these people are usta doin this ev'ry weekend. Heck, when 'chico' was principal, they'd imbibe 2 or 3 times a week!
Special activity? well that's a little more difficult to explain ...
Every year the kids are reassigned to a new house team. (something I get to do). On this first gathering of the house teams, every kids wears their house colurs (to make points for their team) and compete in a newly composed (by their captains) team chant. Winners this year used the old stand-by rhythm of 'We Are the Champions'. And Since I didn't advise the principal of his role in today's hosting of the event, I ended up doing that too.
-
hey!! just like Harry Potter!!

well someone is not being very talkative this weekend!
Bonjour, Roland...when you come back on!

Good morning! Just back from church, choir and breakfast. Haven't been in here in a while, uploading those videos of Alberta took up much more time than I expected.

Hello - Been multi-tasking - keeping the lights on in BetterMost, while having supper in front of the TV, answering the phone (Bryan, of course), downloading a bunch more CD's on one computer (I'm up to the mid 130's - late 120's in terms of labeling each song) & moving em to another.
Sorry if I didn't see your post as quickly as you would have liked!
-
well I will forgive you just this once....*pout pout*
man, them worms taste NASTY!!
so you have had a pretty restful weekend? how are you feeling?
I been working my tail off! *whew*
ok...not really WORKING per se....but I been busy!!
;D ;D
-
Restful, yea. Bryan was over for some 7 + hours yesterday - no pressure on me (cause I was sick, you see) - He did quite a bit of yardwork, installed limewire (finally got an mp3 of Numa, Numa) and (unsuccessfully) reinstalled Civ4
Been feeling better both yesterday and today ... think this coming week's got less stress involved (though it will be my first full 5 day week this year).
Had me some Lilly lazania fer supper - didn't have to cook ronight! ;)

Don is baling hay this week. I am trying to keep from pulling my hair out at my job....they have the most interesting bookkeeping system! ::) ::)
you at school? feeling up to snuff this week?
-
Glad to hear you are reaping the benefits of your labour (and the horses will survive another year)
School's fine - I get tired to easily - yesterday was a light day and I crashed when I got home - slept at least 8 hours in the last 16!
-
eight? that IS a lot for you...no wonder we didn't see you last night!
yep, we are looking at getting around $2000-2500 for what he is baling this week. Our barn is full of hay so he is selling this batch and buying grain. so we will have plenty of hay AND grain all set for the winter...feels good.

I have to go...you have a great day. Don't push yourself too much!

So what are the plans for the day? what are you planning for the poor little kiddies?
Do ya'll have standardized tests of physical fitness? when I was a little girl we had these benchmarks we were supposed to meet...like a certain number of chinups, situps, had to run a mile in a certain time period..(can't remember the numbers)
-
Bonjour
Eons ago, the federal government had a similar program to encourage achievements in these fields (offering crests as rewards), and I heard recently that, to promote a more active youth, a similar program was being considered, but, no the curriculum does not focus so much on achievement goals so much as it does on acquiring awareness of one's responsibility and ability to control one's health and well being by being active and aware of one's level of 'activeness'.
One phys-ed (passed) course is mandatory in Ontario in order to acquire the high school diploma, but again, the focus is not on achievement, but on acquiring management skills for one's health and fitness.
Now stop asking such tough questions this early in the morning ! (took me some 15 minutes to write this response)
Got me a full load today - which will include 3 music classes and yet another meeting after school (Last night was curriculum night - had to come back to school for a 7 to 9 PM meet & greet)
Bell just rang - gotta go!

By the way, Jess, how's D doing? Haven't heard about him in a while.
he is doing good. Taking courses at a local college. Riding horses in the afternoon three times a week for money. (doing pretty good too...gets a bonus every time one gets sold or shows well)
I try to restrict posting about him anywhere except in the Store. He thinks I am telling his business too much! ::) ::)

I was just thinking about you!!
I have a horse show today. It is the very first one my friend has ever done and she is very nervous! I spent all day yesterday helping her get ready. (would have been a lot faster if I had just done it myself but she was having fun)
Fixing to head out here in a minute. Don is feeding and getting the truck hooked up now.
what are your plans for today?

You go girl
My plans are to have no plans today
Bryan said he'll be over tomorrow, so I might have plans for tomorrow

or is it still bonsoir??
I slept for about three hours or so...feel a bit better but today I am gonna tell a lie and stay home and try to sleep some and rest. I will tell my mother that I am too ill to come over. and in a way it is true. I really shouldn't be over there with a cold. She doesn't need it on top of her other problems.
*justify justify*
:P :P
but I will get better and then I will go and be a good daughter...
-
Good for you - It's the right thing to do
Bonjour!
-
bonjour!
I am still up....and feeling even better..(knock on wood) ;)
-
Taking a day off - even knowing you're goin to take a day off is medicinal
Take it from someone who takes em from time to time. Teachers are allowed 20 days per year (based on 2 days for each menstruation cycle). We don't take em all (most I ever took in a year is 15 or 16), but I've always taken at least a couple every year.
Always seems like I'm sicker the day before I stayed home!
-
power of the mind huh?
yep, probably. So what are you and Bryan gonna be up to today? He may make you work since you were sick last weekend!

Yup the power of the mind!
Gonna be pickin the last a the apples from the tree ... maybe mowing the lawn (that hasn't been done in 2 months)
-
well the boys goofed yesterday. Guess they aren't quite as grown as they pretend...
told me they were going alligator hunting (in a CANOE!) but instead they went on a ride up the river...wearing nothing but cut off jeans. I told you I got a sunburn? the sun was strong yesterday...so combine no clothes, the sun, and the reflection off the water..and they BLISTERED. by the time they realized it, they were too far from the truck to get back by dark...They were just sick when they got home. We put lotion on them but their skin was so bad on the shoulders it just sucked up the lotion. I bet we used half a bottle on them. Gave them some aspirin and sent them to bed.
Poor babies...
::) ::)

TWO MONTHS!!!
tsk tsk....

Well there's hardly been any rain! and when it rains it pours! so the grass is brown ... but after 2 months, it's also getting weedy.
Bryan hadn't been giving the garden much time either, since "Alberta"

dreadfully neglecting it huh? Want me to send him a strongly worded email? :laugh: :laugh:
it is about the end of your growing season isn't it?
-
The growing season's been over for a while
It'll be thanksgiving in 3 week.
Looking over the coming week ... Tuesday's a big cultural day. It's the anniversary of the first display of the franco-ontarian flag. Got activities planned for the day (which can be done anytime during the week)
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g14/roboy-0/drapeaufranco-ontarien.jpg)
You might have noticed I was wearing that flag on my t-shirst on the Alberta pics I directed you to, earlier this (last?) week (underneath the Ennis-like shirt). T-shirt's got a bar code on it, showing that I am a franco-ontarien 'product' - got nutritional values and everything - the bar code number is the date of the first showing of the flag - 1976-09-25. - T-shirt was created by the real smart folks at my school board - only one in the province making great T's - they're selling em eveywhere now, just one year after they started makin em...
but I digress ...
Also this week, got an in-service on Friday - Another one of those odd weeks

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
and what are your nutritional value?? how many calories per serving there?? :-X :-X
I did recognize the Fleur de lis? but not the other half of the flag you were wearing..
-
Flag represents the two flowers of what I am - french and ontarian
Colours represent summer (green) - hope, celebrating our growth, survival, in spite of the realities of being overwhelmed by anglos
White represents our winters - and the sheer blank lack of understanding extended by non francophones in this province. Our history is strife with attempts to 'exterminate' or assimilate us. We finally got funding for french high schools just at the time when I was reaching high school. 5 years before I graduated, less than 10% of francophones had completed their high school education, while the average for the province was over 50%. Even in heavily 'french' populated parts of the province, nearly all teachers were french, nearly all students were french, but the language of education was english!
And the battle still continues. About 15 years ago we finally got french colleges in this province (some classes were being taught in french, but the colleges were english). And we still haven't, to this day, got our own french university in Ontatrio - not one! Sure there's the universtity of Ottawa & the Sudbury university (Laurentienne), but they teach some classes in french and some in english. In the 70's, when I went to Ottawa U., about 40% of the student body was french, as were about 75% of my classes.
As little as 7 years ago, the much hated conservative government of Ontario, in an attempt to reduce health cost, closed a bunch of hospitals (including one that usta be a walking distance from my house). Among the planned closures was the ONLY french speaking educational hospital west of Québec. The battle to keep Montfort open is quite a moving episode in our history, and thanks to the courts and the charter of rights (which has also been catalistic in allowing gay mariages in Canada), the hospital Montfort is still a thriving institute today.
The significance of the white on the flag is important, cause non-francos just don't have a clue! Their awareness is truly blank-like.
-
I appreciate how enthusiastic you are about keeping the French heritage alive, Roland. That is what all people need. to have that commitment. and caring.
would be nice if more people put the effort in on things they believe in..
-
I am going to go lay back down for a while. Talk to you later? Give Bryan my best!
or would
Tout la' monde be the thing to say??
tout le monde?
-
good evening, mon ami!!
how are things with you tonight? Did you and Bryan get all the apples harvested?

I washed the dishes and prepared those hot beef sandwiches, and then I crashed!
I was a terrible host!
Bryan did pick the last of the apples off the tree and made a apple/pear cobbler for me - it was delicious!
Prob'ly be heading to bed within the hour!

Yea right - that's gonna happen!
Hey have you heard? The canadian $ is now trading at par with the american $
Seeing as prices here are still on the average, about 30% more expensive than in the states (as well as our salaries) there must surely be bargains in the states these days for canadians!
Renewed my morgage on Friday. Still had 26 000$ left to pay, but with a 7 000$ additional payment, and a slight (200$) hike in my monthly payments, I could be mortgage free in one year! ;D (just 6 months after retirement!)

Not buying no horse!

-
howdy, Sheriff!!
how is tricks tonight?
Hunh? What? Who's tricks?
Had me a couple a hours to make my list a favourite songs (The site was down) - but it also took me near an hour just to type up that post!
-
'how's tricks'...that is just a phrase meaning 'what's up'
I saw your list...it has foreign songs on it! ;D ;D
I suspect they are FRENCH!
-
Well Daah!
-
Well Daah!
I find it hard to believe they sing songs in foreign languages...don't know about all that...seems a little fishy to me...
;D ;D
(you know I am just pulling your leg!)
-
And I didn't even find anywhere to include another recent favourite: Numa Numa by Ozone
Wish someone could tell me in what language it's sung.

you got a favorite but you don't even know what it is about!??
::) ::)
I gotta send you that copy of The Boxer...the country version
-
Yea, well ... I heard that one before
Like 6 months ago!
No matter, it can't outdo Simon & Garfunkel - that recording is just too powerful
-
Simon and Garfunkel are hard to beat.
Simon by hisself is pretty durn hard..
-
I have heard Simons music but nothing I can remember about Art Garfunkel...is he still recording??
-
jeez.
I can't think of favorite songs...well just two...
one is that 'sappy country song' "Friends" that would kill BBM radio if it was played on it...(I like it!)
the other is that Coyote you sent me.
-
Good Mornin Jess -
You up already?
Joyeux jour du drapeau franco-ontarien

bonjour!!
happy Flag Day back at you! gonna be a light day huh? You Canadians have the good life dont you?
-
Not a slow day for me - only just one of my classes if affected by this - I'm the organiser, so it's actually additional work for me!
But don't you worry - got most a the work done (again) ahead a time - I delegated ;)
One person got me text (I edited it)
Principal's gonna read it
Janitor's in charge of the flag raising
Kids have been taught the song (music classes over the past week or so)
Prayer's gonna be 'flag day' related (more delegation)
And the contest questions are someone else's responsability (more delagating)
Hope things go well ... Still have to find time to distribute the temporary tatoos
-

Found out this morning (a little too late to do anything about it) that I've got a(nother) dental appointment tomorrow! So ... I'll have to make the preperations and head on off to school in the morning. Wish I'd known earlier ... woulda just made preperations for two days this morning!
Hope you had youself a pleasant evening. (Isn't Tuesday one a yer nights out with the family?)
Anyways - I'm off to slumberland
À demain.

evening, kids!
I am in the middle of cooking dinner. What you want to bet I burn it?? :laugh: :laugh:
Don would have my hide...bad enough I am so late cooking it to start with...
(I am a BAD wife...very bad...)
-
Shoulda just made a salad, and been done with it!
Or better yet ... open up a can a beans ;D
(Oops - I just described both my lunch & supper!)

:laugh: :laugh:
now I know you cook sometimes!
I got that man spoiled is what the problem is...he thinks he has to have meat, potatoes, vegs and bread every night.... ::) ::)
-
Oh sure - been on a spaghetti (with cheese and olives) and salad diet all week. Had the beans quite late this afternoon, so after my late afternoon nap this eveniing, I really wasn't hungry. The salad was just a last minute eating-at-least-sumthin supper.
And yes I've been having red meat just about every day this week - remember the roast beef from the weekend - got less than half a pound left - for lunchtime sandwiches.
Otherwise (and discounting your ""bitch, bitch, bitch" posts) how has your week been so far? (remember how I started that thread just for you? - hardly ever posted on it myself ;) )
-
LOL
Yep I remember you started it just for me to blow off steam in!
My week is going ok. D hasn't started peeling yet (well a LITTLE) ...but boy is he gonna be itchy when he does!! still bright red. He hasn't gone to work this week but has been in school yesterday and today. He and Colt and Brent went out tonight to just 'hang out'.
hate that. Don't mind going to the movies or going to dinner...but hang out seems like alcohol and trouble to me... >:(
-

The meaning of words: what the hell do you mean by the expressions in blue? I'm at a loss to know what yer talkin 'bout. He had a rash or sumthon? Remember you saying he was catching your sniffles or sumthin ... fill me in with greater details
And by the way - hangin out with the boys doesn't necessarily mean alcohol, trouble and debauchery!
-
teenage boys with nothing to do = trouble....sorry but it is a fact! ;)
you havent' read in the Store. I never know whether you have or not.
the boys went on a little trip up the river Sat....wearing just cutoffs...stayed on the river all day and finally called Don to come get them. They have a major sunburn..both of them. Blistered. :P

Retired from your old life -
You got to long to go for actual retirement there Lee!

And I'm missing all of it!
Started watching 'Queer as Folks' tonight (the canadian version). Had never seen this series before.
Straight neighbour (to whom I had lent BbM) lent me her DVD set (3rd season)
Quite a lotta drama in there too.

I watched a couple of episodes...thought it might be good for D...but LORT there were lots of NEKKID men in there!! and they were ALL having sex...
Don't go into Our Daily Thoughts lightly, Roland...they will try to drag you into it!
-
Yer right all the sex and nekkidness. I was expecting some kinda comedy ... it ain't
Was talking to my dental hygienist about her finally getting around watchin BbM. Seems she thought it was just a fine movie (apparently not worth watchin mor'n once!) But, her 15 year old daughter's trippin out on it - bought the DVD and all!
Today's youth - ya never know...
-
but that is good to hear isn't it?
-
Sure - I'm not saying it's not great - just surprised that a kid (15 year old) is so into this movie.
I remember conversations, either here or at IMdB about how this is a 'rated R' movie in the states, but in Canada, a 14 year old could see it unaccompanied. Even talked to the librarian at school who loved the movie, but she thought her 12 year old son was too young for the themes in this movie.
Really aren't a lot of years between 12 and 15, yet, apparently, there was a lot of diff'rences between these two canadian kids (as expressed by these two open minded mothers).
-
I think there is a lot of emotional growing up in those few years though. I know thirteen year olds going on forty and thirteen year olds that still play with action figures...by fifteen you don't see that big range..
-
And girls mature earlier than boys. I know ...
Didn't really focus on her kid's age when we talked - more 'bout the fact she (the mother) didn't 'get' the film like some people do (brokies).
Gettin on to 11 pm here - gotta bet up in 5 or 6 hours -
Bonsoir Jess ... À demain?

man they have been in business for fifteen years or so...you think I am fixin to go to jail???
Should I quit? does this stuff happen at other peoples jobs???
-
You ain't done nothin wrong
You ain't got nothin to worry about ... except maybe having to do the job for 3 people...
They (the bosses) have seen your work, trust you, I think. More likely you'll be getting new responsabilities (till you too fuck up more ofter than you get it right - it's called 'the Peter Principal')
-
on the one hand it is good...cause it makes my job more secure...I mean they fire me then there wouldn't be ANYONE in the office! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
so how was your day??
-
Full day - some making up for being absent yesterday ... and of course, tomorrow's gonna be another day when I'll be AWAL, but I'll be doing that with the principal & another teacher
Took my Alberta pics to school today - to share with the staff ... (had to remove a few pics from the camera first - like the 'apron' pics)
Starting to think about October already (did you know that Hallowe'en falls on a Wednesday this year?)
Kids were difficult today - the grades 3, 4 and 6!
-
you didn't want them to see you in your beefcake poses? wouldn't fit your image??
;) ;)

Trade secret!
Have a nice Thursday evening there Lady Jess

Good Mornin!
Here's my story about the dance.
Well, I saw him come into the dance hall. He was beautiful. ABout 6'4 tall dark and handsome. The most beautiful brown eyes and long eye lashes. He had a scruffy beard goin and a white cowboy hat!
I noticed he was lookin at me but I didn't think it was because he found me attractive or anything.
Finally, I was talkin to a group of people(Patsy Cline and her partner) and she stopped him and told him how cute he was and would he dance with her husband! He politly declined and said "i would like to dance with him though"
pointing at me. I looked suprised and he said "You wanna"? I said yes and we danced. When the song was over a slow song came on and he asked if I wanted to keep dancin. Well,, we were the last two on the floor.
In fact, they had to shoo us out cause they were closin up. We stood outside he still had his arms around me and we just stood there swayin and talkin. He had to go cause his ride was ging back to Sacramento where he kives but he got my number and said he's call me tomorrow and kissed me goodnight.
Well, I was floating back to my room but I didn't think I'd hear from him.
Well, he called!! He drove the 2hrs to come back and see me and took me out dancin then drove me all over SF showing me the sights. We went to the beach and stood there watching the bonfires and talking. It was cold so he got behind me and pulled me to him and wrapped me up in his coat that he was wearig. Finally, we left and went and got a bite to eat. He took me over to Treasuer Island and took some pictures of me with the bay bridge and the city lights behind me!
It was a night I'll never forget!
Here's the pic he took!
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
WOW! No wonder you were so up when you got back!! Dang!
*sniff*
our lil Lee done growed up on us!! :'( :'(

I haven't got a clue
Do I have to go read about it in the store?

now if you are gonna add to your posts you gonna have to tell me!! or make a new post!
He stayed for about an hour. 'Dinner' means lunch...sorry for the confusion. We had some sandwiches and then D showed him the horses. He was very polite and talked about the rodeo and where all he had been. Real friendly. Don was real polite too, TOO polite...he was eyeing that cowboy like he was a rattlesnake... :laugh: :laugh:

-
good morning, Roland!

This a reference to your niece's "goose scramble" (which I had no idea what it meant) or somethin else (I still don't understand what you mean ...)
Met up with this lady who usta supply us with cookies for Cora, on my way back from the groceries this morning. She asked whatever happened to Pitou ... Walks by the front yard every so often and hadn't seen anything a the new dog.

aww. I sure wish that had gone thru. :-\
yep was referring to the goose scramble. They get all the kids that are under 5 out there and release three geese with ribbons on their necks...the kids chase the geese and get the ribbons for prizes.

OK you got my attention - might this be anyone we know?
-
;D
-
;D
That doesn't answer the question ...
-
no that isn't anyone we know..I just know you like the mechanical bull.
-
Bryan gave me the "Ugly Betty" DVD of the complete first season today. He recomended I watch the episode calle "Secretary's Day" cause in it, Betty rides a mechanical medieval horse.
Also received (yesterday) the Brokeback pilgrimage dvd put together by a couple from Texas (who also did the pilgrimage), BBM-Cat and U/L Flyer on which I finally get to see my mechanical cow ride at the "Ranchman" in Calgary. My first ride lasted near 15 seconds, my second, barely 7 seconds (I was riding faster than the cow was moving! :laugh: - not pretty).
I don't get where you and Bryan think that I'm such a big fan of mechanical cows!

well I was just remembering that you liked the LAST picture of the young man with the bull (MECHANICAL BULL) that I posted and was making the joke that you liked the bull when in fact you were enjoying the young man...not the bull.
I don't know why Bryan thinks anything about the bull...
-
although I think you probably liked the first one a little more than the second. The first was a bit more muscular...this guy is a lanky fellow. A little taller than the first.
there were some other guys there but I didn't get real good pics of them (not that I think this was the best pic in the world - too dark)
sides I think you and I have different ideas on cuteness. :laugh: :laugh:
you never mentioned the pics I pmed you...assumed you didn't see anything noteworthy!
-
Now that you got that 'straight', how about more hot pictures from yesterday's rodeo. - What you took only that one picture a cute guys taking a wild ride? :)
-
well I uploaded a movie of a bulldogging ride. You can take a peek at that...and I have a few others I have to get uploaded...will do as soon as I can.
buncha cute guys there...I am just shy about taking people's pics that I don't know!
-
you never mentioned the pics I pmed you...assumed you didn't see anything noteworthy!
That would be cause I never received no pics through PM's in the past week - not since that raunchy, err... naughty err... unusual pic you share with me last week ;D
-

dang, I thought for sure I sent you and Garry some pics of the guys from my association (which is why I went pms instead of forum! :laugh: )
it was a couple of weeks ago...guy in a pink shirt...one young guy on a horse
-
A couple a weeks agao!?!!!
Last pictures a folks from your part a the woods were sent on August 28th - not a couple a days ago, not a couple a weeks ago.
They included one hotty on a horse - he (the hotty) was sportin (among other things) a goatie Them the pictures yer refferin to?
-
I believe so.
I am no good at keeping track of when stuff happens! :laugh:
-
just as polite as could be too....wasn't the least shy.
Don said he probably didn't know we knew about him and D's little adventure...
What?? Jess, have I missed something here? :-\
-
oops I will pm.
-
I posted some more pics in the Store.

ok ok..not the BEST pictures in the world but hey...

Bonjour!!
how are you this morning, Roland??
-
Aww - it ain't so bad ...
Starting only my second (in 5 weeks) 5 day week and I feel fine.
Weather's predicted to stay above 20 (70F) - wel the max for each day - for each day this week - sorta warm for October in On-ta-ri-a-ri-o. But we'll take it!
Bryan pulled out all the tomatoe plants over the weekend, and made me - and another one for himself - yet another apple/pear cobbler - fruit from the garden. This time I helped with the peelling and the paring.
This coming weekend, Thanksgiving!
(bonjour Jess)

Yea I got to see em - visited the store in the early hours this morning
Also ...
I posted (just before the bell) a response to your 'You guys are so lucky' post ... about the time you posted yours. Just got back to find it hadn't been posted and I absent-mindedly pressed something else (beside re-post) and it got lost! too bad - pearls of wisdom that never reached it's destination ...

bonjour, Roland!
I had a good day until about 11 last night when D caught me eating my hidden ice cream..that boy is gonna tell Don and then there will be NONE left for me!
:laugh: :laugh:
dang it.
-
yep, Roland is avoiding me again.... :'( :'(
either that or he is at work and just checking in now and again...
let's see....which one of those should I run with???
hmmmm.... ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Naw - this boy is just too dang busy ...
When I got to school this morning I had to do some photocopies ... Barely had time to turn on the computer, check my school e-mail (or was that yesterday) and tuned in to BM ... do the photocopies and rush rush rush. Had time at 9 - but I'd lost the connection to internet from my computer (It's quite unreliable) so I used the computer room's computer to do stuff that was due last Friday - worked on it for the better part of the hour. No time for BetterMost at work today.
Also had a short meeting after school (think we got a big one tomorrow night, and another one on Thursday).
And this evening (in about 75 minutes) The pool league's new season's starting up. New format (only 5 players per team, instead of 10), so I'm playing at a dif'rent bar (They wanted me - promissed me the moon - ok, just lead off player - for getting onto their team). I'm pleased with the change - hoping to do better cause my home team bar's pool table will be a little smaller than where home's been the last couple a years.
So what's new with you? Tuesday ... big night out to the bookstore?
-
nope. Got an 'emergency' meeting of the directors of the association I do the website for... :P
seriously, Roland...emergency??? the finals are over a month away!
but I got to gather up all my papers and go meet with them to go over the point standings...
I was wondering when your pool playing started up. It is only one night a week right? How far away is the new bar? Is it easy to get to?
-
Seems like I'm so seldom here when y'all are, so just want to say hi to y'all!
-
Hey, Fritz!
Did I see the Spruceman online the other day??
How are things in the capital today?
-
It is only one night a week right? How far away is the new bar? Is it easy to get to?
Yup one night a week. All the bars/pool houses are within a 4 block radius in the downtown area. Takes about 45 minutes to gt there by public transit.
Ended up at the wrong place (with less than 10 minutes to spare). Was directed to a nearby bar and from there to the correct one. Still played first. (had to play 3 games cause I scratched on the black ball in the second game - Still won fer the night).
I still got it (though my opponent wasn't very good).

Roland is a POOL SHARK??!!
now that ain't no way for a Sheriff to be!
-
Something int'restin happened when I left the house to go play pool last night. It was 'bout 7:10 and, as I hesitated to close the front door *did I have my keys/tokens/wallet/i-pod on me?* I noticed a couple a people (a man and a woman) across the street, dressed kinda funny, like orthodox jews or sumthin, standing next to a car on the 'no parking' side of the street, and they seemed to be looking towards me, or at least towards my house *there's an election goin on right now in Ontario - maybe they were promoting a candidate?*
On closer observation, I also noticed the really intense look on their faces, and though they were definitively not looking at each other - they were looking towards my house - they both seemed to be having a lot to say ... they definitively were talking. Next I notice the're holding onto a book of some kind - not pamphlets. Noticed again the intense look on their faces and I finally get it.
They were prob'ly some islamic folks, caught in the middle a nowhere, travelling, you know, and got stuck in the middle a nowhere at prayer time (5 times a day, I think). There's a mosque just 2 blocks away, but their clothing did not look like those of the people I've frequently seen walking in that area in the early evening, Their intense look, their probable facing-towards-Mecca, lead me to believe the truth nature of the situation.
Took prob'ly less than 20 seconds, from the time I first noticed em to the time I realized what was what, and then came the thought of the gulf of dif'rences between people in my community ... Here I am going to my one fairly innocent outing for the week, with a book on the Beetles in hand, installing and starting up my i-pod's earphones, making sure I've got my tokens for the public transit, and these folks are standing next to their car, in the middle a nowhere to do their '5-times-a-day' prayer thing. Also very aware of the fact that I am most likely to come across some most arrogant passengers on the bus (some very Jamaican - read: 'the-world-owes-me' kinda individuals) while on my way to play pool with other aging gay guys and gals. It's quite sumthin living in this city!
-
that is something, Roland. There just isn't that kind of diversity around here. Pretty cool.
bonjour!
-
Bonjour
That specific diversity is not the one that inhabits my french (read school) world. Here we have some native born francos, some from the North and some from Québec teachers. Our clientelle is largely Congolese, Lebanese, Italien, Rwanan, and you're likely as not to find someone from South America, Iran, Syria, Portugal, ... and even the occasional American ;)
How are you this mornin
-
that sounds pretty diverse to me....what is those Americans doing up there!!??
the nerve! >:( Do they not know we have the best schools right here in the STATES???
;D ;D ;D ;D
(Canada DOES have the best teachers though! ;))
-
I am good this morning. Have to go to work early this morning. I am opening until they find another receptionist.
-
Good mornin!
How is everyone this fine Wednesday mornin? ;D
-
In just one class (my first one of the day, and the largest one in school - 24 kids) there are kids who's parents were born in: Congo, Canada, England, Jamaica, Italy, Egypt, Serbia, Rwanda, China, Salvador, Syria, Guatamala, Cameroon and Poland. I asked them. Nice start I'd say.
OK back to the grindstone.
Glad to hear they've got you puttin in more time at work there Jess!

Holy Cow Sheriff! You have your own United Nations goin on there! ;D
Well we do have an international reputation, you know. Canada accepts roughly 1% of it's total population in immigrants each year ... some 350 000 people each and every year. So in the past 20 years, that would be like 7 million people .... and their kids (some a the kids were quick to add that they were BORN in Canada) are what makes up Canada. Of course, with virtually all of this pupulation choosing to live in the 3 largest cities, the rest of the country remains white-anglo or white-franco. But you're right about the make up of my world (Toronto) as having an international flavour.
And it should not come as a surprise to find that one of the detainies in the illegal American prison in Cuba is a Canadian citizen. He was captured and charged with killing American soldiers in Afghanistan when he was somethin like 14 years old. We have all kinds here. There's a trial goin on in Montreal right now charging someone for having had a part in the genocide in Rwanda 15(?) years ago.

Bonjour tout l'monde. Coment ça va aujourd'hui?
Received my retirement kit from the 'Teacher's pension plan' last night. (retirement's happening in less than 6 months). Seems I've got to do stuff I've been putting off ... like filing my income tax. Who knew?
Gonna be a full day today (3 phy ed classes and 3 music classes) and there's a(nother) meeting after school :P
Tomorrow's international teacher's day. This year's theme is (and I'm translating here...) "Better teaching conditions provides better learning conditions for kids"
-
good morning Roland
-
bonsoir, Roland
hope you get everything lined out and the transition goes smoothly.
When do you usually file income taxes up there?
-
When do you usually file income taxes up there?

I don't know what's what right now.
Had myself a dif'rent Sunday afternoon ....
Bryan & I went downtown instead of spending this Sunday in the garden. Had ourselves an overpriced late lunch (10$ for a cheeseburger!!) got home past 4 pm, watched an episode of Ugly Betty and slept through much of an episode of The West Wing & went in for a nap (around 5:30). Just woke up - 4 hours later! Don't know if I'll be able to get to sleep tonight.
And how was your day?
-
it was alright.
the boys have been trying to get the tractor running all day...Don thinks it is dead this time.

Well isn't that just a 'boys will be boys' thing?
I'm not mechanical but, like Garry, your boys enjoy spending a whole afternoon just fixing something? Gives em a purpose.

Hi there Lee (or can we start calling you Richard on these threads now?)
I don't know how much fun they were having. D was mowing some of the horse pastures and it quit on him. It would have taken him about another hour to finish mowing...they spent almost three trying to get it restarted. It is still sitting in the pasture..

That's not what I said - was only gone less than 4 hours. - doin some window shoppin.
My burger was 10$ (and Bryan paid for everything} but ... Bryan had himself some salmon (19$) and a couple a drinks - total bill (before tip) near 48$. I wanted to go to Taco Bell!

have a good weekend?

Pretty quiet actually, I thought I was going to have to work Saturday morning, so I didn't plan to go up to NYC for the get-together up there, then when work was cancelled, it was too late.
-
Merci Fritz, but it ain't no big deal for me
As a matter of a fact it's a bigger deal for Bryan (he's native, you know). He actually invited me to a turkey dinner for tomorrow (as he frequently does) and today, I learned that tomorrow's dinner wasn't gonna happen. He renegs the day before the meal's suppose to happen. No biggie, really, just unnusual.
-
At least you have the day off, right? That's always nice.
-
Sure 'nough
It's gonna be a lazy weekend for me, that's for sure (oh wait - most a my weekends are lazy weekends! :laugh: )
-
Do ya'll celebrate Colombus Day, Roland? I can never keep straight which holidays we share with Canada.
-
Sure 'nough
It's gonna be a lazy weekend for me, that's for sure (oh wait - most a my weekends are lazy weekends! :laugh: )

Do ya'll celebrate Colombus Day, Roland? I can never keep straight which holidays we share with Canada.
We don't havre no Columbus day. Tomorrow's our Thanksgiving, but it ain't near a big deal like itr is in the U.S. - Here, it's more of a end a summer, 'let's go close down the cottage for the winter' kinda holiday - last one till Christmas.
But of course this ain't been no regular summer/fall ... it's still near 30C (85F) round these parts (except for today) Norm for this time of the year has it as a max of 15C (bout 60F). Except for today - temerature was closer to the norm today - was wearing my second best western shirt, jeans and boots on my 'outing' this afternoon!

ME!!! whatchu talkin bout there girl.
Actually you've got me pegged pretty correctly. I've always strived for a simple, stessless, without much obligation kinda life and that's what I've managed to have as life - but I guess that's not much of a legacy ...

So you are hoping the Liberals carry the election? You figure they have a good shot?
-
G'nite y'all! Happy respective holidays!
-
Good night Fritz
sweet dreams!
-
so have you been paying any attention to our election? Do you have a preference?
-
The Conservative party (only real opposition) shot themselves in the proverbial foot at the beginnig of the campain by promissing to financally support private schools (only the catholic and public schools are currently paid for by the public purse - been that way since forever.)
Nothing the conservatives had said (or anyone else for that matter) has been discussed these past 5 weeks, and even conservative candidates don't agree with that policy. Last week, the conservative party leader flip flopped by saying. if elected, he would have an open vote (not party enforced) on the issue, but this past week's focused once more on THAT policy and the fact that he's flip flopped.
Liberals were suppose to win with a minority government (cause of the broken promises from the last election), but right now it looks like they might just have themselves a majority (hope spring eternal!)

well good luck. I hope your election goes better than ours usually do..
-
so have you been paying any attention to our election? Do you have a preference?
What you talking about - your elections are a year away (Or are you refering to some other local elections?)
If you are asking do I prefer the black candidate or the female one ... think I prefer the black guy (can't remember his name - Obama?)
Our eletion campains last only 5 or 6 weeks.
The federal government is also gearing up for elections. Might happen in mid November.

bonsoir Roland....think of me slaving away while you chill tomorrow!!

Fine thank you
I've only spent a few minutes at a time online today, so I've not really noticed Frits today (though I did see underdown in the Imagery forum! :-X )
Been a good day for you? Here we've gone back up to record highs today - near 30C (mif 80'sF)

Bonjour Jess - a chilly 9F (48F) this morning with a maximim predicted of 15C (59F) - the norm!
Election results in Ontario yesterday were good for the Liberals - They repeat their victory, increasing the number of seats in parliament by 4 (71-26-10). In my riding, the Liberals sneaked in by a mere 500 votes ahead of the New Democratic Party (NDP)'s candidate. In a by-election less than 5 months ago, the NDP had wrestled the seat away from the previously held Liberal MPP (member of provincial parliament).
The Progressive Conservative (PC) leader lost in his bid to gain a seat in parliament going down against the minister of education (a lesbian) by a vote of roughly 50% to 40% (so he wasn't even close).
It's the first time in 70 years that the Liberal party of Ontario has managed to repeat two consecutive victories. The province of Ontario has been lead by governing PCs for most of those 70 years.
Thought you'd like to know! ;D
-
YAY!!
so they gave that NDP guy a chance and then threw his hiney out!
nice to know SOME countries have smart citizens!!
congrats!
-
have a great day, Roland!!
hey, you ever been to Quebec City? heard there are a lot of French people there....
-

hey, you ever been to Quebec City? heard there are a lot of French people there....
Was reading the election results from dif'rent parts of the province this morning & found out that the area (or the riding) that I come from - where I was raised - up north, is the second greatest concentration of Francophones (47% of the riding) in the province of Ontario. Of course it's also the second largest (in area) riding in the province, so they're quite spread out & certainly not all living in la ville de Timmins. I think the largest (in population) percentage of francophones in one riding is right near Montreal.
So one doesn't have to go to la ville de Québec to find francophones. :P
-
well they were talking in another thread about Quebec City...and how all the men there are handsome and if you leave the city proper you better carry a French phrase book!
;)
-
Yup I came across that thread (Think it was Artiste's)
Comment ça va ce soir?

Everything is ok, got home from work and everyone is gone! Gonna meet them in a little while at the bookstore. wonder where they have been without me!

Looking for me? I've been having some computer problems and have been having to use this laptop rather than the main computer. Has Sharon been in here asking about Germans here, or in another thread?
And I'll be gone a couple of weeks to visit my mother in SC, but I hope there's computer access via wireless down there.

I hate computer problems! Computers need to be like TVs...just push the button and go!
Sharon has a blog...that is where she hangs out when she is not posting pictures!
Hope you have a great time in SC. I meant to ask you. (and I probably knew this at some point but my mind isn't all it could be) but were you born here or in Germany? You work for the German government right?
-
what the heck YOU doing up this time a night??
-
What makes you think I'm still up, hunh?
Awright - truth is I was heading to bed around midnight - didn't get to respond until morning ...

Weatherman said it was snowing up in Timmins this morning!
Here it's about 5C (41F) with a maximim of only 10C (50F) which is below the norm. Kinda chilly - had to wear my jacket over my sweater this morning.
Gonna be a full day.
Had to prepare classes for 2 days this morning, seeing as I'll be off to see the doctor on Monday!

Born and raised in New Orleans, but I studied German in school, and we have relatives over there, though I'm the only one in the family on this side of the Atlantic who speaks it. And I do work for the German government, for over 30 years now.

I'm OK, but sometimes I get blindsided, like dinner the other night, I had made fresh tomato soup and decided to make BLTS to go with. Whenever I fry bacon I always make a piece for each dog as a special treat. It wasn't until I was doling out this treat that I realized I had made a piece for Bailey without even thinking about. Brought on the tears again. But I am doing OK. I know we did the right thing for her I just miss her so much. :'( but I;m trying ...hence my happy face comment :-\

S*** that is hard. I am sorry, poor Dottie. I know you are still having moments. I had a cat that passed away almost seven years ago and I still miss him.
-
A pet becomes a member of your family. Sometimes people who have not had a pet this close to them do not realize how much it hurst to loose one. I understand what you are going through. It's very hard to deal with. After loosing a pet it took me several years to ever get another one. People said I needed to, but I felt like I would be trying to replace him. Finally, two years ago, someone I work with brought in this small black shiny kitten who had come to their door in the middle of a big rain storm. The kitten jumped in her car when she was getting ready to leave for work. She took it back to the porch and it beat her back to the car. I came in that morning and the kitten was sitting on her lap looking at the computer. I ended up getting him. He was starving and incredibly tired. I opened some food for him and he practically attacked it. It was like he had not eaten for days. Then he went upstairs, jumped on the bed and stayed there sleeping for almost two days. I don't think I have ever seen a kitten that tired, but he was determined to find a home and he sure did find one. He is now a 15 pound, all muscle cat and is the blackest cat I have ever seen.
-
I ain't GOT no happy face!!
how are you these days, Dottie?
I love that kitty face
-
Jack, I had to go out the next day...now I realize I was in some kind of grief stage...I spent almost six..maybe seven hours driving up and down looking for a kitten with white paws...looked at almost sixty kittens..
I just couldn't stand not having a cat in the house.

Mid week - and life goes on.
I'm at work and got maybe 20 minutes to spare ...
Gonna be relatively warm today - lately the temperatures have had trouble reaching the teens (mid 50's F), but today it's expected to reach 20C (68F) Yee haw!

we finally had a bit of a break in our weather...not quite down to the fifties and sixties but still better than those dang 90s!!

Got a music lesson to present today during which I'll be having the kids listen to the Bumble Boogie. Well this will give me the opportunity to showcase my music teacher (and cousin - my dad's cousin, really) who last year offered me a CD of recordings of her playing the piano. Hope the kids are gonna be able to appreciate the 'personalised' aspect of today's lesson.

Bumble Boogie???
Is that anything like the "Pig Rap"??
:laugh: :laugh:

You serious?
You don't recognise the Bumble Boogie?
I'll have to send you a mp3 of either the 1956 hit single or my cousin's version.
The song was featured in that movie (forget the name right now) about this Australian autistic man who was a virtuoso of the piano. Great stuff (and that piece is quite difficult to play, I believe)
Anyways, the bell's about to ring - gotta go

How's it hangiing today? ;D
Just finished a health class with the grade 6 - talking first aid, what to do when there's a 'situation' and dropped the bombshell about having to send for help when my sister was hit by a car while she & I were riding our bikes out in the middle of nowhere. I was alone with her at the time, and had the driver of the car go call for an ambulance. (yea - he had to leave the scene of the crime! - no choice).
My sister died two days later. She was 13. This was some 30 years ago.
Classroom was real quiet there for a while!

Hey Sheriff!
So far so good!
I'm so sorry to hear that about your Sister.
Thats horrible. I'm sure that had a lasting affect on you.
If nothing else it drove home the point about learing first aid.
-
Yea that's pretty much my point behind bringing personal experiences as examples in my teaching. Makes it more real, specially for those 11 year olds!
Funny thing, the homeroom teacher was at her desk during this exchange (as she often does), and she joked about my being 22 years old (she frequently keeps the classroom lively with fun comments) once upon a time, long long ago (that's how I started this part of the lesson) and even though I'm sure she'd heard this part of the story before, I'm sure she felt uncomfortable about the turn of the lesson right after that. (When I was 22, I was out riding with my sister on our bikes on this seldom used road, and ...)
I have a very good relationship with that teacher.

I can see that. It's good you have a good relationship with her. Otherwise she may have freaked out.

So we'll talk this evening ... or not ;D

Hope you'll be good & busy today ;)
Mimma's visiting (came over at 7:30 this morning). She's had yet another fight with her wife. Talking seperation again. Asked if she might have the option of moving in the basement apartment. This fighting's been ongoing for more than a year now. One of these days, she'll start with the rest of life.

Mimma is having a hard time huh? you think she is really gonna leave this time?

If not this time, the next. It's definitively gonna happen, and the sooner she starts getting her affairs in order, the better. This has been going on for a long time - possibly years.

sounds like she has gotten used to it being this way....
hard for you though isn't it? I would not know what to say after a couple of months of it!
-
I don't pass judgement anymore. Just lend a sympathetic ear. It'll be her decision, her pace ... but I believe she's ready. It's not the first time she's asked about the basement apartment, but she's talking about making plans, seeing a lawyer, so I believe she's just about ready this time.

Bonjour! did Mimma go home or is she still on the couch?
-
Bonjour Jess
Mimma's basically moving in.
Spent most of the day here yesterday (had herself 2 long naps on the couch), left afound 10:30 last night, then came back to spend he night in the basement bedroom. It is serious.
Now how is Lilly gonna survive this seperation? - 25 years together is a looong time.
-
jeez, I am sorry. How are you with it? You are kinda in the middle aren't you? I mean they are BOTH your friends.

More of a Mima guy - we are sisters after all - share tastes, even clothes preferences. Lilly needs all the attention all the time and it's her way or no way - plus she still smokes (Mimma quit a while back, but her clothing still reeks). And there are more negatives that I'll not get into.
However, that being said, it's not easy living with anyone, when you've been alone most of your life. Just how much will she (Mimma) be IN my life if (which seems likely, right now) she moves in downstairs.
-
yeah, I suspect at least short term she is gonna want a lot of your time and energy...will she pay rent? you could stick that back or pay off the house a bit quicker.
Will you set a specific length of time she can stay or is it open ended?

1- She's already offered to pay rent - when I told her I arranged to be finished paying my house off within a year.
2- House needs repairs - she staying downstairs, I'm gonna have ta do some improvements - starting with replacing both upstairs & down stairs toilets. I'm sure Bryan would be able to point out all the improvements that should be done down there (plastering, replacng the appliances, improving the heating vents, ...)
3- Her stay would be open ended - to start with.
And what's new on the birthday boy front? - been reading about the pecan caper and related stories in the store ...
-
Maybe Bryan could HELP with all those improvements too... ;)
that would make it a little more fun. It is gonna be different for you. Hope it won't be stressful (or too stressful I guess it can't help but be a bit)
We are such sweet wonderful parents we are letting them sleep in this morning. Came straggling in at 3!! in the morning... >:(
kids these days!

It's finally cooling off here.
It's gonna be a good day for riding and playing on the farm!

Yea - you've got your girl for the weekend - Should be fun
Trying to get Jess to be jealous here :laugh:
Her boy just turned 18 and he don't need his mama no more!

you so mean Roland! >:( >:(
He will always be MY son....he may run Jeff off someday...can't run me off!

bonjour Roland!!
Time to rise and shine!

Bonjour Jess
I got me more time this morning - It'll take me an hour to get to the location of the 'in-service' today, but it starts a full hour later that school normally does. The downside, it'll end later as well and I'll still be an hour's public transit ride from home when it over - and that, during rush hour! :(
Mima' spent her second night here last night, though she spend the day on the golf course. Bryan was here for 7 hours yesterday, getting the back yard (mostly) ready for winter.
Temperatures yesterday shattered the 35 year old record high for the day - reaching 26C (79F). The old record was 24C (75F)
They're saying the temperatures will be just as high today, but tomorrow we'll be back to colder temperatures ... 11C (52F)
BTW, I've been up since around 4:30 ;D
-
4:30?? sheesh, that is terrible!
so you can chill this morning but I will be home before you this evening!! hee hee!
they are claiming we will have some fall weather today...claiming 46 for the low tonight.
-
Yea, well - when I talk about 13C for tomorrow, that the maximum! Though we still haven't experienced frost here yet this year.
Still, might have to turn on the furnace tomorrow morning.
-
Awright - I'm out the door - giving myself 75 minutes to get to the High School (location of the in-service)
Talk to y'all later this evening.
-
13 sounds so low! like you are freezing...I can't translate in my head...what? about 40F??
How does Mimma like you getting up so early? Are ya'll on the same schedule about?

13C is 55F
Mimma asked me to wake her up at 6:30 this morning - she slept at the other end of the house, on the living room couch.
Got back home before you!! na na nanaaa na :laugh:

Hey y'all! Greetings from upstate South Carolina! Visiting my mother, and taking care of her while my sister and brother-in-law are away up in Maine. There's kind of sporadic net access here, with a weak and intermittent wireless signal.

well we have been having some good debates on the site the past week or so. I am proud of us though....no one has lost their temper or gotten personal with another poster...at least not on board! :laugh:

Yea well, there's been the Hillery thread
And the sometimes off-kilter "all muslims are bad, all french-canadians are good" pseudo discussion.
You refering to some other thread I'm not aware of?

you don't like current events?? You don't like talking philosophy??
come on now! ;)
the point I was trying to make is that I have seen on other boards how discussions like this result in hurt feelings and people leaving....whereas people around here..well, it is hard to rile them to that level of anger. We all seem to get along pretty good.

I think that, for a lot of those people who are currently discussing heavily on controvertial subjects, they got to be liked before they expressed their discenting opinions.
Well that's what I think
Bonjour Jess

yep!
bonjour, Roland!
How are you this morning?
I am getting sick of the sinus thing every morning! ::)
You know your house is cold when you lay out some butter to soften when you go to bed, and when you get up in the morning it is harder than when you took it out of the frig...

awright....I am gone.

Been a good day - and tomorrow I'm staying home in order to go to the dentists (yes one last time)
also learned that I'll have a half day in-service next week!

Bonjour Jess
sorry to hear about your tooth - hope it's just a chip(ped tooth)
Thursday and the temperatures are not expected to reach 10C (50F) today. Be near freezing overnight.
Looks like we made it through yet another full moon without too much negativity.
-
well, not a LOT...but you wouldn't go to chat with me so I didn't get a chance to give you too much heck!

It is chilly today!! brrr....
you have a great day!

Fine thank you
I've only spent a few minutes at a time online today, so I've not really noticed Frits today (though I did see underdown in the Imagery forum! :-X )
Been a good day for you? Here we've gone back up to record highs today - near 30C (mif 80'sF)

But it is a cute picture!

You know me ... I like postin em one a day (when I've got a limited number a pics)
Gonna have ta wait. And there's a real pretty one with fall colours in it. -prob'ly post that one on Tuesday, or sumthin

Bonjour Jess (and BetterMost)
Got nowhere nearly enough sleep last night! Gonna be a tough day (It's my long one!)
Sent you a e-mail Jess ;D

Bonjour!!

Howdy Sheriff :)
Good for you. Wouldn't want any tales told.
I guess one can't move around Bettermost without the Sheriff finding out ;D
Anyway, it was interesting. I'm neither gay nor homophobic nor a fruit fly. Just interested.
(I also peeked at that man with the rake. Cute. Thought you would prefer a six-gun, though :D).
Hope being just a rather plain, straight guy is ok and doesn't arouse too much interest from you?
There's a bit happening, lately, to interest our own Sheriff (who thinks I need mothering).
Just someone I thought was a nice person, albeit imaginative, being bad.
(sigh) It's all too boring to put in here; sorry. Probably belongs in one of those hidden threads.
If I were like that.
(Oh oh. People are expecting me to work :o )
Better get outa here.
Take care. :)

Bonjour Jess
We received about 70 kids last night - not a record, but double what we often get. (There's a reason why we had so much leftover candies from previous years)
Only 3 old pieces and 3 bubble gums left from this year's purchases.
-
Bonjour Jess - What's new? (You didn't post much in the store yesterday.)
Friday - and we survived another week.
Apparently there were 2 staffers in the hospital for surgery yesterday (the grade 6 teacher & the Janitor). What with the secretary out of action (and in the hospital as well) for the next two months or so ... this was a week to forget. Or what with it being hollowe'en & all - one might say it was a scary week - or - 'The week from hell'

not being pampered at all!
*pout pout*
well....D did make me some toast...but ol mean Don just went out to do chores!
and my mouth hurts.
:(
-
Well they did conspire (against your wishes) last night to get those expensive pills. You didn't expect the special attention to last a whole 24 hours, now did you?
Anyways - you seem to be able to find some time to post this morning ... No special Saturday job? or ride planned?
-
I was supposed to but don't think I will. We were going to go out and have a practice show but I am gonna skip it. Not a good idea to ride under the influense you know..I think I want to wait til this starts to heal some before I do a lot of jouncing around...( I love riding horses but it is jarring sometimes..)
so I am gonna just stay here and nap and try to eat...
maybe some CHOCOLATE!!
:o
-
Naps are good - chocolate? Well, don't they say: 'a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips'

Well ... besides (not) doing my report cards, I thought I'd play my game (civ4), but of course, you got me started on posting here, so, while I'm doin this, I'm also downloading my CD's onto the computer - I'm now up to CD #170 (the Beatles - together and solos - anything in there you want?)
-
let me get you a list! :o
LOL!!
there was one I was going to ask you about...a song. But I don't know the name...
-

Do you know some of the lyrics? (Are you talking about a Beatle song? )
Also, in the same batch are Beatle related artists - artists like Mary Hopkins and Badfinger that were produced by one or another of the Beatles as well as Julian Lennon.
British invasion arists - Dave Clark 5, Kinks, Peter & Gordon, Donovan, Animals, Gerry & the Pacemakers, etc - are next up!

no it was a woman.
let me think how the some of the lines went....

ok back to bed for me.

Bell's about to ring ...
Have a nice day.

It's a program to help kids improve their french - roughly translated "Improving french language" Actualisation Linguistique Française. Part of the assimilation, or stages of assimilation (to English) is the lack of vocabulary or the use of english syntacs when speaking in french. This program gives intensive attention to kids of Francophones, who are losing their french, a little at a time, and, without help, will just stop using it altogether; they'll be lacking too many words in their mother tongue, and will just stop trying to use it.
Feeling tired ... too late for a nap, too early for bed - Might go to bed & wake up at around midnight - then I'll spend the rest of the night awake (like I did last night, but al least I only got up at 2 am!)

How are you this AM?

*gasp*
You did report cards!!? I am SHOCKED!

Report cards are far from being done ... doin just a bit at a time
Teeth grinding is likely caused by stress - what's been stressing you lately, Jess - Talk to Don (or D) if you figure out which it is that's aggravating you to that point.
My back - well I'm glad it's not a chronic problem - like some other folks my age.
-
Well, that about does it for me for this morning - bell's about to ring
Busy schedule today! Wish me luck - I'm having my first class of ALF in 2 years !
-
HUH
talk to Don.
We had words yesterday cause I canceled our trip to Galveston next week. I just spent $250 on getting my tooth pulled so we dont need to spend that money right now.
Don isn't happy about it. Which is stupid since HE is the one that didn't want to go in the first place!

Back's fine this morning (even though I only 4 (+ 1) hours sleep/nap overnight).
Lost 2 of my 3 games of pool last night
ALF class was fine. Seems the other ALF teacher thinks what I did was worth trying in her classes too (well for the grades 4 and 6 anyways).
You're not working today hunh? Just muckin around on the farm? That's good. :)

It's suppose to be for fun - Like I tell the kids, winners are those who enjoyed themselves. Even if you win your game, you're a loser if it wasn't fun!
The other ALF teacher is only in her second year of teaching, and still in teacher's college, so, even though I was hoping to get pointers from her (cause she takes her classes a lot more seriously than I ever did, when I did it 2 years ago), I was able to find a resource she was unaware of. So in effect, I'm helping her out more than the other way 'round. - which is fine by me - just as long as no one expects miracles from me.
And the kids are really taking to my lessons like ducks in water - they're like games. Title of the book I'm using is "Rions en français" - Let laugh in french. Today's lesson has the group divided in two and each group has to beat the other one in how many excuses they can come up with for not doing their homework - alphabeticall
I accidentally fed the work to my dog
I burned it accidentally when I started the oven
I crossed out all the words (accidentally) and couldn't make out what the homework consisted of
You get the picture?

like teaching a Texas Housewife of Leisure to speak French??

all those years of teaching counts for more than her schooling, Roland. She is lucky to have you to learn from. It is hard to find good dedicated teachers these days.

Check out my modified previous post! ;D

Funny thing happened at tonight's meeting after school ...
Everything I complained about concerning the installation of lunchtime tables for the kids in the gym is turning out.
The (very inefficient) janitor is still taking a very long time to clean up after lunch, and even with the help of a couple of grade sixes (not to mention he's always angry at them for being in his way), the lunchtime sports are in trouble. They get barely 20 minutes to play (out of their 40 minute recess). So the principal is proposing that, during the intermural games (Tuesdays to Thursdays), the kids are now to eat in their classroms, like they've had to do most of the last 20 years!
Well I told em so last year when they surprised me with this 'pilot project' (is that the word in english?)
Well I've only got less than 5 months to go, so what do I care anymore ...
Another thing is ... Kids have always had to have clean running shoes for phys ed classes, but, since they're not allowed back in the hallways to get their coats and outdoor shoes/boots, they get to bring em to the gym at lunchtime - actually wearing their outdoors shoes/boots while they eat - defeating the purpose of wearing clean shoes in classrooms and the gym. All n the name of those stupid lunchtime gym tables. Made/Makes me mad!

The other ALF teacher is only in her second year of teaching, and still in teacher's college, so, even though I was hoping to get pointers from her (cause she takes her classes a lot more seriously than I ever did, when I did it 2 years ago), I was able to find a resource she was unaware of. So in effect, I'm helping her out more than the other way 'round. - which is fine by me - just as long as no one expects miracles from me.
And the kids are really taking to my lessons like ducks in water - they're like games. Title of the book Ièm using is "Rions en français" - Let laugh in french. Today's lesson has the group divided in two and each group has to beat the other one in how many excusses they can come up with for not doing their homework - alphabeticall
I accidentally fed the work to my dog
I àburned it accidentaslly when I started the oven
I crossed out all the words (accidentally) and couldn't make out what the homework consisted of
You get the picture?
that does sound like fun, Roland.
-
well I have a quandary.
I am hurting. If I take a Tylenol, it will help but not completely. OR I can take the Vicodin and it will take care of the pain but make me sleep. If I had taken the Tylenol earlier I would be ok....but right now I guess I better hold off...
-
Still hurts, hunh? after 2 days? That's a bitch!

it has been so hard to eat anything that I put off cooking. I am so sick of soup and breads...
so I am making a stir fry....waiting on the rice right now...chicken, broccoli, teriyaki sauce, red peppers...

Hi Bruce!!!
welcome to the Grill!! We were just discussing supper! what did you have?

Sounds yummy - I"m sure your mineans will appreciate having such a feast - well in contrast to the soup & sandwiches they've had to endure these past 5 days ;D

I guarantee they would rather have a shot at that pork roast you got!

I hope you aren't trying to read ALL of this thread, Bruce...it is TOO long!
How are you feeling? Are you back home?
-
I tell you, Roland...that Bumble song? You just can't listen to that and be in a bad mood... :laugh: :laugh:
I love it...
-
I found out the movie from which I first came across that song (recently) it's called Shine with Geoffrey Rush. Found it by accident in my VHS collection.
Calling it an early night again. Hopefully I can get a good night's sleep with plenty of time leftover to prepare tomorrow's lesson in the morning (read - middle of the night), do some more report cards, and maybe get a nap before my morning routine (starts at 6:30.)
Bonsoir, mon amie.

bonsoir, dear Roland
sweet dreams!

still hurting off and on...I guess it must have had some infection in it. :P :P
thank you for asking!
I feel like such a wuz....
-
bonjour, Roland!!
I slept SOOO good last night. Woke up happy!
-
Yea - drugs always seem to give you a glow :laugh:
Your gums don't hurt this morning then? Good! I'm glad.
Spent the night doing about the same as the night before, so I'm doing a bit better than usual with my report cards (I think ... I hope!!!)
Bit of a back ache this AM, but I'm not concerned, since last time it went away after just a couple of hours.
Week's almost over already - though with the report cards due, it won't be a 'same old, same old' weekend.
Family appreciated the yummy supper last night?
-
I think they did. I put in plenty of chicken...that always pleases my carnivores.. :laugh: :laugh:
I also think that is part of the reason I am feeling so good. This is the first morning I woke up without starving... :P
man, you are ahead on those report cards? What, trying to end your career on a high note!? :-X :-X
;D
-
More like - just trying ahead of the bell curve ...whatever that means
It's just that other teachers are voicing that my report cards should be easier to de than theirs, yet I'm never ready before em, rarely ready on time, so I'm trying a little harder this time around. (And you KNOW I've got the thought in mind that it's my next-to-last set of report cards.) One get motivated whatever way possible ...
There's the bell - Gotta go.
Have a nice day!
-
Have a great one, Roland!
And those other teachers are just JEALOUS...ignore 'em!
;) ;)

TGIF!!
Bonjour, Roland!!

Don't I know it!
Forgot my report cards folder at school last night, so I didn't get none done last night (read: overnight). Still got this wek's dishes done, as well as a couple of loads of laundry ... just a couple a fewer excuses for not doin em this weekend!
My downloading of CD's onto my computer is going like gangbusters! Up to no. 200. Almost done with the 1960's!
-
dang! I better get to going on my wish list!!!

Oh I still have your old list. Unfortunately it's mostly 1980's music that you're interested in, so that'll take a while!
Bell's about to ring - Gotta go
Bonne journée

Bonjour Jess
Been downloading more 60's tunes, playing some CIV4, and doing some report cards; finished up to grade 3 - for phys ed, only got to put up the comments on the computer for grade 4 and connect comments with the marks of the grade 5's.
Grade 6 and all of the music marks have yet to be worked on (but their suppuse thbe finished sometimes during the week of the 12th so I feel I'm well ahead of my usual schedule) :)

WHOA!! You ARE all motivated this go around!
I think that is the quickest you ever got report cards done!
-
How's the mouth?
You're not talkin about it - must be all better ...
Yea, I'm ahead of the usual, though I doubt they'll be done by tomorrow. Bryan's coming over this afternoon, plus, those report cards - they get tiresome!

See - I knew it felt right - to say they "get tiresome" - but I didn't know why - didn't know I was quoting from the movie ...
Some folks just know ...
Anywho November's near half over - pretty soon I'll be saying I've got just 4 and a half months to go!

Bonjour Jess
The big day's arrived!! :)
You all butterflies and stuff?

Bonjour, Roland...
I am waiting on Don to finish obsessing that everything is gonna be ok for a whole 40 hours!! :o :o
Will the place still be here? Will his cows? the outbuildings?

Bonjour Jess
The big day's arrived!! :)

not ME! Don is though...
;D ;D
I am lying...I haven't spent the night away from here in years....isn't it silly to be nervous?
I mean there are people on here that have taken trips at the drop of a hat to other COUNTRIES!!
-
So you're saying, at 7 am you're ready to leave the ranch and move (for one day) to the big city? Like green acres in reverse? And Don's what's keepin you back? :laugh:
-
This is just a four hour trip - When you go to Dallas, it's a 2 and a half hour trip. When Jess foes to College (and comes back every weekend) it's a total 3 hour trip.
You're just going for a morning ride, is all! With a sleep over!
For me that would be just halfway to Timmins, and I do that twice a year.

Got me another 2 hour lay down - can't really call it sleep though.
Finished my music marks and remarks before I left home this morning, and my day's class preparations were done before before my 'nap'.
Also got to put in one last comment in admin before I called it a night. ;)

Hope you survived the birthday OK.

C'est trez bon .... Excellent, in fact.

Well the MIG is not really installed yet - it's just moved. There's gonna be actual galleries installed (eventually) - and THEN you'll be allowed to be properly impressed.
In the mean time, the regular posters continue to do their thing ... (http://www.smilie-harvester.de/smilies/Alltag/schaukelstuhl.gif)

Not much happeningh ere
Thought I'd make a pot a beans, but I didn't have as many as I thought I did, so I had to wait until the stores opened. Now they've gotta soak for 6 (or 8) hours before I can boil em (for an hour?) and then bake em (for yet another 3 hours.)
They might be ready for 10 pm tonight!

now THAT is southern....beans and cornbread!

Good evenin Richard
What's new?
Beans ended up being a little dif'rent ... Mimma thought they smelled wonderful!
Soaked way too many beans for the pot. Had to remove at least 4 cups worth and still, the full pot overflowed, making a liquid (and fat) mess in the bottom of the stove. Also, I gotta remind myself - 3 hours is never enough - they need 4 hours

Sound slike you got yourself a heap o' beans! ;D
I love some good slow cooked beans!
And Cornbread! LOL
You're right Jess!
That is a southern thang!
I also like to have some diced onion and tomato slices with my beans and Cornbread!

well yeah! gotta have the tomatoes....onions only if you are by yourself or everyone is eating them... :laugh: :laugh:
Roland ya'll don't eat cornbread at all do you?

-
Onions are part of the seasoning - I added 3 onions (cut in halves) to the pot (along with a few bacon slices). No tomatoes. And as for corn bread, I prob'ly have eaten some in my life, but I really am not certain it appealed to me, as I don't recall it's flavour (or for that matter, when I last ate some).

Truman travels a lot, maybe it was him. But I cannot make out the signature or of any other features (like handwriting, the few french word, the 'un-american' aspect of the message ... He even talked celcius instead of fahrenheit)
Somebody ... help! (it was dated the 21st - just got it today.)

I found that odd too but they were doing it here 20 years ago at my school. Only got rid of the practice when they cancelled grades 7 and 8 at our school. (They now go to high school starting in grade 7 - as is the practice in Québec. Intermediate schools {grades 7 and 8} are also popular in public schools here in Ontario.)
Don't remember what they did in the english schools here in Toronto. I did teach in them for 7 years and don't remember any grade 8 graduations then.
-
I would have had an 8th grade graduation ceremony at my grammar school in New Orleans in 1961, but I transferred to another school in 7th grade which went all the way to High School (grade 12).
We did have a graduation ceremony from Kindergarten!

'Andy' was running in a marathon this weekend. Apparently he's never run more than 19 miles before. Haven't heard yet how well he's done.
When the report was posted he was almost finished his second hour of what was expected to be a 4 (4.5?) hour run.
I'll try and get back with more precise info.
-
Yea, I just confirmed it ...
So 'Andy' finished the marathon in almost exactly five hours.
-
I'll try and get back with more precise info.
How precise? A phone number? Address maybe?? ;D

In every job that must be done,
there is an element of fun.
You find the fun, and, *Snap*
the job's a game!
Every task you undertake
becomes a piece of cake!
A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see
That a spoon full of sugar
helps the medicine go down!
the medicine go down!
medicine go down!
Just a spoon full of sugar
helps the medicine go down
in the most delightful way!
