Yet another classic poster for our walls!

The rules follow below; just look them over and feel free to ask if you have any questions. At the request of several people, I've included short and long versions of the guidelines.... if you do decide to join us, and you aren't clear about something, please take a moment to read the longer rules below the yellow soundbites below. :D

SHORT RULES:
The Trade train is a fast, fun game that allows you to trade a deck you don't need for a deck you do by setting up a series of Stations at which Tarot decks are offered and chosen. :)
Each player is a "Station" we will visit on the trip for a set period of time, according to a randomly assigned order.
You may choose your deck at any time.
First player to choose a deck at a Station moves us to the next Station.
For Regular trade trains, the Station order is determined by preassigned random order.
For Bullet trade trains, the person who chooses a deck immediately becomes the next station to offer.
You will only offer when we reach your "Station."
Any kind of deck is fair game.
Riders may join the Regular Train during the ride (until the last 3 stations), but will not pick til the next offering/Station. Bullet Trains are locked down before departure.
You must complete a trade to keep your chosen deck.
Everyone who trades a deck will pick a deck. It's a win/win.
Each player must have fun.
It is that easy. As others can attest, these trains are fun, hilarious, and exciting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LONG RULES:
ITINERARY: From the sign up list of riders, we will generate a random order of Stations. This itinerary will determine the order in which you will post your decks to trade. But you can CHOOSE at any time. This itinerary will be posted at the top of the thread along with a record all of the completed trades...

SPEED OF THE TRAIN: We spend 24 hours maximum at each station (i.e. person listing decks) before moving on to the next station. If/when someone picks a deck, the next person/station can list as fast as they want. So you have to stay on your toes and in theory we could go through the whole train in an afternoon.

OFFERING DECKS: You may list as many as you like, but but will only trade one. Everyone who trades a deck will get to choose a deck. Any type of deck is suitable: Majors-only, Pip decks, Oracles, Sets, along with full 78 card decks are welcome. You may change your decks as often and as fast as you like while the train is at your station. And remember, offering a better selection encourages every station to offer a better selection themselves to insure they'll place a deck. It's a win/win!

SELECTING A DECK: You can choose your deck at any time from any rider, but once you have chosen you may not choose again. If you choose a deck you must trade a deck to close your deal. This is a chance to expand our horizons for the cost of post.

NO TAKERS?: Feel free to tweak your offerings during the allotted hours of your station. If no one chooses any of your decks within the alotted hrs the train moves on to the next person/station below you on the itinerary. You will have a chance to list new trades later as when the list reaches the bottom it will go through a second time, starting at the top with the first person who has not had a deck picked from his list.

KEEPING IT FRESH / KEEPING IT NEW: Remember: the quality of each offering dictates the quality of every other trade... The train is only as snazzy as we make it. In order to keep the landscape surprising and to insure the train moves at a reasonable speed, please board the train ready to shake up your offerings. If there are no takers within the first 6 hours, consider changing your offerings. We encourage everyone to list at least 2 decks that are not repeats from the previous train. If a deck has not found a home on the previous train(s), its likely that people already own it or don't care to. If you list an offering identical to the previous train, and a trade is not made, we will move on after 12 hrs.

UNCOMPLETED TRADES: What If someone picks a deck, but the person that listed their choice fails to choose a deck for themselves? Unfortunately then the person that picked that deck would lose that deck. This sure will add some butterfly style excitement. At this point that person that lost their first choice would have a opportunity to re-choose in the second go-a-round.

FINISHING YOUR RIDE: After you have listed, traded away a deck, and accepted a deck you are off the train, but feel free to participate in the chatter. After you finish a trade please leave your decks posted for at least another 24 hrs so all those aboard can browse what they missed...

END OF THE LINE: No decks will be sent until all trades in the chain are complete or the train finishes two laps. This insures no one will be left out and also gives train members something to look forward to/worry about in the days ahead.

TALK: In-game chatter is highly encouraged!

YOU CAN'T LOSE!: You only give a deck if you get one. If after the second round you have not managed a trade you are off of the train, nothing lost or gained, unless you accepted a deck, you would lose that, And that train member would re-list.

JOINING THE TRAIN: You can sign up starting now. Also, anyone may join the Train at any time before the train reaches the THIRD TO LAST person of the FIRST ROUND. Then the train closes: no more tickets.

~~~~~

The internal workings for those who care: The itinerary of offerings will be randomized blindly. I've asked another rider to send me a mixed list of numbers equal to the number of people on the train.

Even more boring internal workings: With just 20 riders we have 1 048 576 combination's of deck combination's in all at just one deck. With a average of 3 or 4 decks being listed each the number is huge. To be in matched pairs takes it to 190 opportunities. SO with just 20 players we have collectively 190 opportunities to make a trade, imagine the numbers as we add cars to this train

It is going to be a pre Valentines train :) FEB 11 2012

Yale hotel, Vancouver BC :)

Twice in Edmonton. Once in a small club, once on an outdoor stage at a festival. The festival gig must have been weird for him, since he really wasn't the focus of attention; he was more like human background music. People would come and go, some people even walked right in front of the stage. At one point two dogs started fighting in the front row. He didn't stop, even for the dogs. Just got this little smile on his face.

Ugh - I hate Monday mornings .....

And I bought a "new" Morgan & Morgan first edition Morgan Greer once - it had just happened never to have been opened, so the seller thought they were justified in calling it new and old in the same breath :D

That's a great track, NT, and TCO - you played with him? Gosh, fame!

Morning Eyebright, we haven't met but it seems we're in the same time zone. And this is too early for me too. Conference week.

Ugh - I hate Monday mornings .....

Me too, here in this hotel - but back home I don't mind which day of the week it is as I work from home mostly!

Night night QoG. You've reminded me we used to use a sealed down envelope to make a wallet when we were kids - cutting a slit in the lid and underneath bit before sealing it, then folding it in half left to right. It was good to be inventive.

The train itself doesn't start until Feb 11. This is just the pub at the train station. Keep an eye open for a sign up thread. That will be where you'll pick up your "ticket to ride".

This is the waiting room, so to speak, where we hang out and chat while we wait for the train to arrive. It's a wonderful waiting room - we have a bar, a jukebox over there in the corner, comfy armchairs. Hey, there's even a kitchen doing bar snacks. The barkeep is excellent (he doubles at the Train Conductor) - and you are more than welcome to rock up to the bar and hang with us :)

Oh total bummer! I hate it when that happens.

Gotta admit that if Nightwish turned up in the UK I'd move heaven and earth, skive off work, lie, steal and cheat to get to see them ..... (well, perhaps not lie, steal or cheat - but deffo skive off. I'd tell Wonderful Boss I was having some time off and why and he'd grumble a LOT but deal).

Okay, for some reason we lost our cable and internet at the same time. So I chose to stay awake to find out if it would come back. Now it has, obviously, so I really ought to be getting to bed.

Wendywu

Oooh - both cable and internet....sounds like your supplier's server hiccupped.

Pace of life has picked up considerably. Back when I get home for lunch ....

Good Morning! I've been up for almost an hour, but there was a thunderstorm, so I waited to log on.

Welcome to the Pub, herself.

NT, You're up late! No work shift today?

TCO, I am truly sad for your loss; Pumba looked like a beautiful cat. It's never easy to lose our four-legged friends. (((TCO))) :heart:

Just peeping in to say "Howdy" and mark the new Pub for my watched links. Monday morning; bleh! This is the one moment when I miss unemployment! :grin: Hubby pulled out of the driveway with his boat and camping tent at 4:30 am so it's just me and Daisy for the next few days.

OK - lemme go check the coffee pot...

Good Morning Mel and PW! It is indeed a morning to let the coffee flow freely! I'll have another cup!

Mel, how does Daisy do during the day, when she's home alone?

PW, it sounds like things are settling down for all the feathered friends and their humans. That's not such a bad thing, and sleeping in, well, unless you've got deadlines.....just enjoy it! :)

Mellaenn

23-01-2012, 21:16

Hi, Blue! Daisy is better than when she was more of a pup, but she will be GLAD to see me when I get home tonight. :grin:

OK - better shake a tail feather and get ready and go. Have a super day everyone!

Court for me this morning..not sure what I can say except he hasn't paid since November, and I'm gonna have to apply for cash assistance when you coddle him yet again and take my child support away....

PathWalker

23-01-2012, 21:51

Bears, as in twins? Cool! Jewel is Lily's daughter, right? I haven't been following them this year.
It's not moving very well on my browser(Chrome), keeps buffering. I'm not sure if it's just the feed right now, or what. I'll try again in a bit. :)

Two cubs at least. Jewel is Lily's younger sister I think. Lily's first cub, Hope, was shot by a hunter last fall. The second set , born this last summer (one male one female) the male cub died of an infection in his first summer, and the female is denning with Lily this winter, but no cubs for Lily this year, as she has the yearling still with her.

Can you tell I'm keen :)

Yira, hope it goes really well for you today - with rocks on (((hug)))

I've not watched a bear cam...watched an eagle cam for a while but it really dragged down the computer so I gave it up. Do the cams last all winter? What do bears do in the winter besides sleep? :confused:

Have their babies!!!!!
She gave birth to at least two cubs yesterday - you can hear 'em squeaking when they're cold or hungry, and she warms them, moves to let them get a nipple better, all that sort of thing.
Females at least are much more active in the den than was thought. And baby bears are wonderful - the sound of them when they were newborn yesterday, they sound just like human newborns it uncanny.

NO, this is proper scientific research, they've been doing this for some years and they're good - right now you can hear one baby grumbling, one eating (kind of 'motor' nooises, and see mum's foot really clearly against the bulk of her body.

Did I put a link? Thhis is the cam - lonk, but the website itself is also a treasure trove if you're into wildlife as I am

G'morning Kaleanna :)

I'll be there at 11 am although our small-town courthouse schedules in blocks - I may not actually be up til noon..or 1pm...or...*sigh*

Turquoise is my favorite, which I have in a ring, and I'll be wearing my totem bag under my shirt also. It has mainly small (marble sized) grounding and 3rd eye stones though... -- obsidian, amethyst, petoskey stone, and an itty bitty quartz crystal point. Also a bit of green aventurine, and a zebra jasper. There's also a carved bone fox in it.

Not sure what else I should carry specific to this situation...

Totally understand about them scheduling them in blocks. The court here had us go to the room where they tell everyone which court they will be in, was lucky that we were first one to be assigned a court. . Hopefully yours won't be too far away from the time you have to be there, know that it is a pain to have to be there for hours waiting.

the stones that I had with me when I went to court, were moonstone, larimar and my combination tiger's eye(as I could not find my red tiger's eye(my power stone per Stormy :heart:)

PathWalker

23-01-2012, 22:51

I've only ever been in court for jury service, but I bought Hematite and Blue Lace Agate at a local shop to have with me. Knew not much about crystals then, so was suprised to find afterwards what good choices they were for me (nasty case to listen to).

Thinking of you x

Well I've got stones to attract money -- hoping it'll attract it right out of his pocket into mine :D I really wish I had a piece of ruby. That might be something I need anyway, as conflict is something I don't deal well with and ruby is good for clarity of thought in conflict. Have to add that to my list of somedays....

Freshwater pearls, yes. Not sure if it's a good idea though because they don't deflect negativity, they absorb it and hold on to it...guess I could dump the contents of my bag onto the windowsill for cleansing though hehe

kaleanna

23-01-2012, 23:23

good luck with the meeting Stormy,

Bye Yira and good luck, touching the strand for you and have a turquoise stone among a few of the others that were mentioned.

kaleanna

23-01-2012, 23:28

Yira, do you have red jasper or hematite? Both of those are good for legal matters

kaleanna

23-01-2012, 23:34

Hematite- some sources say that hematite is a lawyer's stone that brings positive judgements in legal matters.

red jasper- is very helpful in imparting the ability to confront and resolve a sense of injustice. a must have stone to carry to court or to guide in any legal conflicts.

Laura Borealis

23-01-2012, 23:39

TCO, I am sorry for your and your daughter's loss... Pumba looks like a sweet cat. (((( ))))

Well, we don't think we can afford to build an outside set-up for them right now - but we MIGHT be able to build them part of it indoors, with a view to adding on outside when we can - does that make sense? So just part of it for now, ans in what was the dining room - with a view to being able to move it outside later, and add on and so forth.

Means not having a dining room any more - haven't put that to Jes yet :)

And he's still not certian, so I'm not pushing it - it has to be something we can honestly afford to do, not something I falsely said we could do, you know?

ETA did you see the link to black bear den cam this winter?

Well, I'll be hoping for you to find a way to make this work for you all. (I've never had a dining room.)

I'm sure you could learn to live without it. :)

It's the huge oak dining table that might the long-term issue :)

"Did God paint me?"

"Worth dying for."

Well, I'm back... and poor. er. I guess.

He told the dr. he has 'debilitating migraines' (nice to pick something you can't prove/disprove) and so the judge ordered a review of his financial situation. Mine didn't matter whatsoever.

The best I could do is point out if he was too disabled to work he should be receiving disability and could pay child support on that. So he was ordered to notify the court when he heard back on it. Of course, he won't. So best I'll ever get THERE is he'll be slapped with contempt of court and get a fine. (Which he'll pay them, but not me, of course.) I'm sure he won't ever pay another dime, not that he's been good at paying anyway (he owes several thousand already.)

An ultrasound is absolutely non-invasive, so he should get through that without too much stress? It's just the gel and the thingy rubbing on your tummy - like we all had when we were pregnant. And with any luck it will show that things are OK to be treated with medication :)

Unfortunately, when I tried to hide where I was going this morning,(Jack had a snow day -- or more properly, an ice day. The roads are a skating rink here...) I find out Krystal had told him about it when I fell asleep in the car on the way home Saturday...(she was driving)

So he does know. I'm not happy with that...but I don't know how to make it better. Except pretend I'm A-okay and not at all unhappy...he's glaring at me though.

You can't hide the truth from him. He's old enough to know, understand and form his own judgements about his father. You haven't complained, or badmouthed his dad - he'll understand though. And he'll know why the little cutbacks are happening in the coming weeks. And y'know, it's not a bad thing that he does learn the truth. If his dad cared that his son thought well of him, then he'd pay - wouldn't he? And if doesn't care enough to pay, why should you protect him?

I know you want to protect Jack, but comes a time when you can't any more - and it looks like that time has come for Jack. All you can do is damage limitation, and try your best to tell him that it's the hideous stepmother bossing his dad around .....

Just my take on this - from being in a similar situation with Jes:

If you try and make out it isn't so, in some way or other - then there's a risk that the chil feels you are somehow condoning the action.

Wendy's right, you don't have to bad-mouth about it - but Jack needs to know the facts, and that that is not something that YOU - a wonderful caring parent - would ever do because you don't think it's right.

Then he can make his own decision about whether it's right that his dad does it.

But don't try to hide it - you're not ashamed, you're not guilty, and he is growing into a smart young man. Better to have a smart maturing relationship with him where you can talk - not one where there are layers of secrecy.

Oh, sorry, got carried away - but sooner or later he'll know - wouldn't you rather it was YOU he had these discussions with?

Not sure I agree even about telling him "he would be better if only X wasn't doing such and such"

He would do it if he wanted - and one day Jack's got to figure that out - otherwise he'll be expecting something, some love, some care, some support, that's never been there.

Oh, ranting agin, sorry

cardlady22

24-01-2012, 02:47

Total agreement with PW. My father has not and will not accept responsibility for any decision he makes. He would say his wives were what made him do x . . . but the years he paid, the checks were written by the wife. Go figure. It took a lot of hoping turned to heartbreak to sink in that he would do it if he wanted to- therefore, he didn't want to.

yirabeth

24-01-2012, 02:47

I can't blame it on Tammy...I'm sure she's not a nice person, to hear everyone (Including my boys) talk. But I also know Steve - he's the BOSS and that's that. If she argued, he'd knock her down (literally) so his not paying is his choice. And if I'm not going to lie by omission I can't lie outright either...

Jack is holed up in his room right now, angry at me(probably just angry in general I think...) but when he comes out..hopefully by then I'll have the right words.

Wendywu

24-01-2012, 02:55

Best way - discuss it, gently and with love. It's an awful situation. I was so relieved in so many ways when my husband died (we were separated) because he'd said that if I ever claimed a penny for James then he (the husband) would make sure he lost he job the next day. He was an alcoholic who cared only for himself and it was, as I said, a relief that he died when James was only 4 and too young to really understand anything at all.

((((Yira and Jack)))) Jack is smart and logical, be honest with him about what happened in court. Encourage him that the two of you will be okay and you'll both be doing your best for each other, to get through this. Head to DHS now and start the paperwork process, you can supply them with a copy of the judgement when the court sends it to you.

This disability, will it be SSI(Supplemental Security Income) through the state, or SSDI(Social Security Disability Insurance)? The reason I ask is that if it's SSDI, Jack would qualify as a dependent and receive a check from Social Security. I'm not sure what the state does. If it is SSDI, the court/state can go after Steve for any court ordered back support.

Hi all (and awesome on the parrot for Dadii!)

Yira, so sorry for all the... um... shit.... (((hugs)))

As the kid in the situation - i'd say go with the truth. Not always the nicest. Ask him not to interupt and just to listen to start with, and explain. In non-legal terms if possible. My sperm-donor didn't wanna pay either (and didn't whenever he could). *insert expletive of choice* but knowing that helped me learn alot of other, far more important stuff, like how it wasn't really about me, but about money (i was unimportant to him, money mattered to him). And that sometimes we are better off without some people. And yeah, he'll be angry (i spent several years being amazingly pissed about it) and upset (ditto) but, looking back at it, i would never have prefered to live with a lie.

hummmm - not sure thats useful but LOL

Yes, it is useful Jesii. It's particularly difficult for me with my own childhood hangups, in a similar situation that wasn't handled well. So, I know not to handle it THAT way, but basically, I don't really know how TO handle it...maybe I'm just afraid of putting him in a bad spot.

I think half my anger towards ex-husbeast is for the fact that he put me in this situation :(

I think half my anger towards ex-husbeast is for the fact that he put me in this situation :(

This may not be useful (or easy) but part of what Mum did was never let her emotion get in the way, she (as far as she could and i remember) stated the facts and didn't let her pissed-off-ness come out. It helped me, at least. Like somehow I could do whatever i wanted without her being insulted. Even if she would have been insulted.

I'd say (never having had kids, obviously) treat him like an adult, with a neutral situation? Thats how i remember PW doing it, and it worked (at least, i think it did, she still talks to me.... so i'm guessing we are doing okay....!?)

Thanks all - it's good to be here. I always wanted to catch a ride on one of these but I always seemed to get to the station too late :)

So how are things for all of you in the northern hemisphere at the moment? Down here (New Zealand) we've had some horrible winds pass through but today is looking like it's going to be still and sunny. Might even be able to get outside for some tarot study! Usually it's a no-go unless you want to be chasing after cards every five minutes, heh.

Hi everyone :)

(((((yira))))) I'm so sorry about the ex-husbeast :( I'm sending you virtual hugs, and positive vibes that you'll find the right words for Jack (((((Jack)))))

Well, where I live (central Canada) we are just now coming out of a deep freeze. I am happy to finally not need multiple layers of clothing just to go outside.

Probably not a good time to talk about it (I imagine you are well and truly sick of snow), but ahh..I miss the snow! My family moved to NZ from the pacific northwest, 22 years ago. Strange moving from somewhere where you get very distinct separation between the seasons, to a small island that's mostly just buffeted around by ocean winds, or weather coming south from Australia :)

Dammit, dammit, dammit.

I'm actually thinking about trying to get to the Jim Byrnes concert in Calgary. I should be able to get my hotel through airmiles, and the bus round trip is about $92. That on top of the $30 show ticket, plus, you know, meals and crap.

I'm secretly hoping I can find someone who is going to Calgary that weekend anyway, but I'm not holding my breath.

herself

24-01-2012, 08:22

We don't get snow where I live. Now that I'm an adult, you won't hear any complaints from me! Our county trucks in snow and covers hay bale mountains for the kids to get a small taste of snowball fights and sliding down hills.

Hehe, that sounds WONDERFUL, cardlady!

I think my problem is that I left the snow behind when I was thirteen... so I still get that sense of infantile joy just thinking about it. I never had to contend with snow tyres, digging the driveway, getting kids to school safely, etc. I just played and skied in it!

Welcome to the pub!

...tomorrow I get to go out to eat.!!! YAY !!! Where are we going?

Yira. I'm just sick with the results. :mad: You have my number.

Cardlady, I'm so glad he went in and they may have an answer. It's a minor surgery, but I know that doesn't really help, and ya don't know yet for sure anyway.

There was no meeting today. One girl was out sick. :laugh:

yirabeth

24-01-2012, 09:35

Still holed up in his room...although he did say dinner was good so that's a step in the right direction... :) He tends to say NOTHING when he's upset. So any talk is good.

As far as I'm concerned, gmail is awesome..lol Lots of storage, can pick up emails from any other accounts, customizable folders, etc.

The only thing I don't really like is that dumb chat thing. Although it's been useful a couple times, mostly it lets certain someones check up on me. Which I hate. LOL

Dumb Chat Thing! You have no idea how many hours of chatting I did with Zan using gmail's chat. it is the only way I will chat.

:P

Hello. I am home. Might get to work tomorrow. Waiting for a call.

Hi Emmsma~~~~

Welcome home :D
Ya might need to take the bull by the horns and start a conversation. Part of it may be that he's hurt that you didn't tell him....

Phone...crap...Bad form to quote oneself but I wasn't done.

Yira, Jack is a young man. He is no longer a child, and may resent being treated as one. If he's still hiding this is what I would do. I'd ask him to come out and talk. I'd ask first for why he's upset, 'cause you're the MOM, you can tell. He may not express it right away, being male and young he may not know how to. Ya gotta let this young man in on what's going on. You are so VERY diplomatic. I KNOW you're not gonna bad mouth his Dad to him, but....give Jack the respect he deserves. Let him know that you trust that he can handle, and let him also know that...what HE can't handle you can & will.

No more covering, sweetheart. Even as a married woman, I get this cringe when one of my parents starts the "round about questioning"
So, have you talked to so-and-so lately?

I would much rather hear a simple "I need to talk to you about ____." Mom has gotten much better about that lately. :grin:

Stormdancer

24-01-2012, 10:37

I do hear you Stormy :) I'll "grab the bull by the horns" when he gets out of the shower...

Funny, you never really feel like they're all grown up. Not even Joe, who is a married man and dad...I try to hide his dad's stupidities from him too...if I find out about them first you know...You're a Mom. That's what we do....LOL

It's time to open your line with Jack, and not much may come of it right away. Put yourself in his shoes though....to hear from Krystal what She knows and He doesn't.

Stormdancer

24-01-2012, 10:40

I would much rather hear a simple "I need to talk to you about ____." Mom has gotten much better about that lately. :grin:aYup!!!

This is new ground for the 2 of you. I'd try to get a handle on where Jack is with it all, 'cause he's not dumb, he senses & knows, but then....what SHE said.

Stormdancer

24-01-2012, 10:42

Oh, and just an FYI...this is not gonna be a one time conversation. You will spill and he will absorb, bit by bit. Y'all are creating a new facet to your relationship.

yirabeth

24-01-2012, 10:44

Good points. It'll be hard to learn because I don't want to do what my mom did...I guess I erred too far the other way.

He's out of the shower..afk a bit.

Sit with him. EiE and I mostly communicated while seated...like you are, or when we were driving...

Work was long, for several reasons. The game started late (Later in the night, not off schedule) went into overtime, and my duty of the day was "sweep and mop", which can only be done after everyone else has finished their jobs. I got $4 in tips, which is better than a kick in the pants.

Meanwhile, I'm seriously attempting to arrange an overnight road trip for the first weekend of February. It's been too long since I did something crazy and spontaneous.

I want to get to a performance by one of my fav music artists. It's really too small to be called a "concert". He is doing two shows, one in Calgary on the 3rd (about three hours down the highway) and one in Sherwood Park on the 4th. Sherwood Park is practically a suburb of my town, but I work on the 4th. But I have the 3rd off. So I could leave Friday morning, check into a hotel, go to the event, sleep overnight, and then leave in the morning to be home in time for work.

:P Because we usually can't drop everything and go to bed when we start to feel puny! Luckily, hubby was off and I did get to spend the entire first sick day in bed. I'm sure it made a big difference in the length of time.

I'm so itchy to play with a deck. Be good for at least one more day . . . don't want to re-infect. Oh, but I got help with Orphalese so I can play with digital decks! :angel:

How come you think you can get germs off the cards (that I guess you think washing your hands first doesn't remove) but your computer buttons aren't the same risk?

No meaning to be rude, I just really don't se the logic, but I might be missing something.....

cardlady22

Well, I've spent some productive time (I hope) on a a family history website called FreeBMD (births, marriages and deaths) where I think I may have traced some life events among a group of family I'm studying at the moment.

There were nine siblings (one of them my maternal grandfather) all born in a city not many miles from where I live now, at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.
They make a great social history study, you know, and I'm enjoying the 'ravel' of their stories.

Trouble is, to prove they are the folks/events I think, I now have to purchase copies of the relevant certificates from the record office - this is always where it stalls LOL
I'll get there though, the pieces of paper aren't going anywhere after all. And then you get more intruiging clues - who was the witness to that event? Did they write a will? Who was her father then?

It's fun, and my dead relatives are - on the whole - so much nicer than my live ones. With a few exceptions of course ;D

cardlady22

I've loved the tidbits the "family researchers" share with us when they find them.

PathWalker

25-01-2012, 01:44

These ones are my mother's aunts and uncles, as well as her dad.

They were half-gypsy, their dad married out, and apart from finding all their correct birth details whilst my mum was alive, and proving the Romany ancestry - both of which she was thrilled with - I have nothing else concrete apart from a few B&W phots, and hand written 'snippets' my mum gave me a few years before her death.

So in one way I feel like I know them, in another way I know very little about them - does that make sense?

So there was one couple who never married for example - the man was said to be american with a catholic wife in the states - how would I ever prove that? But they lived their lives together and had a son - he was shot down over Holland during WW2.

One had an illegitimate child - whre did she go to have the baby - I have three possibles?

One got married within the cathedral! Not bad for a working class girl.

And after the death of THEIR mother, they broke apart just the same as my generation, so I don't feel so much like a oddity :)

Good Morning All

Last night I did something that wasn't just adventurous, it was a little bit scary. I went on a "ride sharing" website, and emailed someone about a ride to Calgary. I told them in advance that I don't have a license, so I wouldn't be able to help drive, but I would help buy gas. I haven't gotten an answer yet.

I mean, I love bikes, and the speed and the thrill and all that. But (no offence to Dadii here) I've never known the damage it can do AND had someone I seriously care about riding it. I know Dad rode but I wasn't born, and it seems slightly unreal to me (as does him having long hair - guess it's the me being his daughter thing) but this is real, and therefore kinda scary.

Even if all that is rather childish :)

No, not harsh to you or anyone here -- just what I would say if a future boyfriend went out and bought a bike...

In a nutshell, I'd say good bye...I've been through it once. I may end up going through it again, with Joe when he gets out as he seems to have decided bikes are still okay. The bike wasn't at fault, the woman was, etc. Stupidity. For every bike on the road there's probably a hundred stupid drivers.

Can't leave the kid but I won't ever pretend I'm okay with it.

But, in a relationship, where he picks a bike over my peace of mind..well that's not a relationship I care to be in, anyway :)

So, yeah. Good bye, good luck, don't care to remain friends. Because then I'd still be around when something goes wrong. No hard feelings, but no, there's no room in my life for that...

My in-laws ride. They are Gold Wingers, which is a special subset of motorcycle enthusiasts :P Gold Wings are huge bikes with all the bells and whistles, and the people that own them are usually middle aged and middle class. Riding is really one of their passions in life. When my MiL started getting life-threatening asthma attacks, they thought they might have to stop. But they worked out a solution -- she now rides in an enclosed sidecar where she can control her air quality. This is their rig.

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m271/pixel_and_bean/goldwingsidecar.jpg

My FiL is the safest driver I know, and he's constantly taking motorcycle safety courses (including ones on handling the sidecar). They keep a very sharp eye on the weather, and he won't ride in unsafe weather conditions. With the sidecar they are much more visible to auto drivers, also. I know statistics show a much higher percentage of fatalities for cyclists, but given their specific situation, I don't worry too much about them.

The following might be TMI. OK IS TMI.

Very large (103#) laborador kept having diarrhea. In my attempts to get him outside, I got covered. :( Top and pants. We had to clean every surface in the kennel room. I'm shocked it wasn't all over my face.

I found a very large top to change into, but no pants. Had to take a wet cloth to try wiping down the pants, but it wasn't enough.

So, that was my day. After the third hose down of the room, he got to stay outside.

Funny how much my tastes have changed. I still love the detailed ones- like my Maroon tarot- but this deck feeds me on such a different level. After I finished using it, the others seemed so garish and overdone. The only two that I could still stand to look at were my Maroon and tarot of the trees.

Love them both. The Maroon- ohhh, how silky soft, how vibrantly colored and absolutely breathtaking. And the little tarot of trees- that packs such a big punch. I laughed when I saw that she was from Appalachia- I was born and raised in those mountains- so I am not surprised that it hit me as hard as it did.

Glad your "I WANT" was nipped for you ;) Like I said, not everyone's cup of tea- I wasn't sure I would like them when I ordered them, but WOW- they are so impressive in hand. I think it is because the original drawings were done as etchings that make it so raw and powerful- but there is definitely movement in the cards- though they are very stark.

My kids like to go around video game levels (but not following missions) and play out scenes together on the screen. (It drives hubby insane rather quickly.)

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean provides some great fun that way. I also like the look & sound of the water in Super Mario Sunshine.

I think Kirby's Epic Yarn is absolutely beautiful. (we've been trying to get him off the computer for hours.) He is pretty much bored and done with it, but unwilling to do anything else.

He'd talked about a Wario game he wanted to play earlier and then there are the Pokemon movies. he's only seen the first one so far. (Really enjoyed it too.)

He made a bunch of stamps for Kirby in the GIMP. Using them to make stories. Its what he uses, rather than play with action figures. It gets tiring after awhile. Often you have to look at pictures over and over and over. Sometimes, like during "battles" its the same picture - only iwth added laser blasts or other such.

Like you look at it, then he adds one line or star burst and you have to look again

and again

and again.

Yup- not babbling per se. But a concerted effort to ensure that whatever it is you are TRYING to do, will not get done because- OH MOM- look- OH MOM- look again!

I remember those days, being so freaking busy but my daughter would whine for a PB&J, and I would say "Have your dad get you one" and hear "BUT MOM- he doesn't make it as good as you DO!"

"Lacking in team spirit" :rolleyes: The thing is, I AM very quiet IRL...it just fits! Maybe I'll print it and just show it to those with a sense of humor?

Thanks!

Funny how much my tastes have changed. I still love the detailed ones- like my Maroon tarot- but this deck feeds me on such a different level. After I finished using it, the others seemed so garish and overdone. The only two that I could still stand to look at were my Maroon and tarot of the trees.

Ah, but you may someday be in a mood for color and detail and layers of meaning again.

Oh Laura! You quoted me!

Its all coming back agian. :P

I was SO cursing the gal that called in sick. She should have been there to clean all that up! :P

How are you doing?

I'm contemplating smothering my son with a pillow. He is bored and just babbling non-stop and generally trying to be a nuisance.

:| Mama is not amused.

Sorry to bring back the horror! :bugeyed: As a former nurse aid in nursing homes, I have been there, though not perhaps to the same extent.

Em sounds a bit like my kitten Janey in a pestery mood. She'll jump up on me and shove her head into my hand, then want on my shoulder, then immediately want down, only to jump back up on my desk and shove something off -- deliberately! And it's all for attention. Me me me meow!

I like yirabeth's quote. :P It reminded me of a Dorothy Parker poem I read earlier today.

Frustration

If I had a shiny gun,
I could have a world of fun
Speeding bullets through the brains
Of the folk who give me pains;

Or had I some poison gas,
I could make the moments pass
Bumping off a number of
People whom I do not love.

But I have no lethal weapon-
Thus does Fate our pleasure step on!
So they still are quick and well
Who should be, by rights, in hell.

Thanks Pen. Nice to not be alone in it all.

To be honest, if I didn't have a splitting headache, sometimes he is funny. He's really imaginative and clever and some days I am belly-laughing at his stories.

Just not feelin' it today.

My theory- it teaches them an important lesson about boundaries. Cause, lets face it, not everyone in life will find them cute- and it is good for them to know when to bow out and leave people alone.

This is actually a lesson Jack has yet to learn. Most the time he's okay, but even at 16, it NEVER FAILS - if I'm on the phone, he's THERE. Harassing me and expecting me to pay full attention to him. I have started cracking down - those that do call me have come to know I'm likely to tell him off right in the middle of a conversation...LOL

I have told him innumerable times, if you're not dying there is NO REASON to interrupt when I'm on the phone -- it's not like I spend a lot of time there. Probably less than an hour a WEEK. So I'm not neglecting the poor dear... :D

I was curious too, so I looked it up... http://www.astrologycom.com/marsret.html

"On January 24th, 2012, Mars reaches his retrograde station at 23°06' Virgo just after the New Moon in Aquarius, in preparation for a period of retrograde motion in Virgo that will last until April 14th, 2010. The effects of the retrograde period will continue to be felt until he returns in direct motion on June 19th, 2012 to the degree where he first made his station (23° Virgo 06)."

"Mars retro in Virgo generates a pervasively hypercritical, perfectionist mood, inclining those most affected toward obsession with minor points, minutiae and overblown trivialities, particularly with regard to healthcare, nutrition and the military. Worry and brooding over more or less trivial concerns will be prevalent. Anxieties particularly develop around the meaning and application of science, pharmaceuticals, chemistry and medicine."

That was VERY funny. It was the first post I saw and I've been waiting patiently ever since. It's WEDNESDAY, 6:30 here, and I'm having an early cup of coffee. I don't always have coffee before work, and if I do it's much later in my morning, but I must have known that biscuits were in the pub...LOL

25-01-2012, 22:02

thanks :) i'll just go and get a cup of tea to go with my biscuit.

i have been watching some tennis, but i fell asleep tonight watching the djokovic/ferrer match. i was enjoying watching it. so annoyed i fell asleep. i was tired because i had to go to the shops today, and carry home all my shopping. the market isn't on tomorrow due to a public holiday, and i had run out of everything. and still no pain au choc, not till next thursday when the market is back, and the stallholders are all back from their holidays.
it's been raining heavily all day, so i got very wet walking to and from the train station, and there's a leak in my roof, making a damp patch down a wall :(

Hi Yira!

Everyone's arriving, but the cricket is just finishing. So I'm going to have to leave the biscuit packet here and go and do some work, even if it's only bird stuff and not housework.

I will come back later I promise, keep the coffee going for me x

I have new loose-leaf green tea. It's good, and I like it. I have had oolong for ages, but it's good to try a new one - and this is nice. I think all the better for not coming in tea bags, which are OK for black tea that I'm adding milk to, but such a nice flavour with this one that I'd hate to spoil it with tea bag papery stuff.

But I'd love a biccie or two to go with the tea :)

Re Facebook -- it's not a "for all eternity" thing :P Yes, you really DO need to go through the settings. They're truly not difficult. Choices are "everyone, friends, friends of friends, and private." Set ALL personal info private -- if someone needs your email or phone, they can send you a message.

The only difficult part is setting aside time to do it. Because (as most programs and web settings) they're not all in one place, people tend to barely glance through them - IF at all.

Look at it this way --- you wouldn't share your email password with just anyone right? How about your bank password? Use your FB the same way. Set it up, make it secure to your needs, and there's NO ISSUE.

It really bothers me when someone says, well FB did this/that/the other -- but didn't bother to try to secure anything. RESPONSIBILITY people...assume it...FB can only show what YOU ALLOW them to show. It's THE LAW. If you don't TELL them they can't show it...well..they WILL! They need the advertising dollar to provide a FREE SITE :)

Custom comes into play when they put a bunch of things into one setting, like Games. You may decide you want game stuff from X game but not Y. So you have to go into custom and set that up separately, instead of just setting all games to one setting.

cardlady22

25-01-2012, 23:50

Good morning, yira!

I hear you on the Personal Responsibility. My problem is that everyone in the business world assumes an opt in when I feel the default should be Opted Out. I don't care to be farmed out to companies just because I asked for info or used an online service with their affiliate.

HI LUTE! Good to see you again. :)

Oh!!!! I forgot to tell you guys my news! I accepted the job offer with UPS (yes, it did come through).

It's a part-time job from 3:00 pm to 7:00 or 8:00 Mon- Fri, so I'll be getting here later. I may be able to finish out my temp time just working part time in the mornings until April (my assignment had just become extended until April). So, cool!

25-01-2012, 23:59

Right, that's something that would be NICE to have set to default. But, it's not required, and (especially in the case of a free service, where they want advertising dollars) so they don't make it that way. Still, they DO provide the way for things to be made secure... This happens for for a lot of things, but especially with any thing that offers a free service. Free programs come bundled with their add-on crap you don't want and have to uncheck the box/deny the installation etc. Even signing up for an account where you spend money, you have to specifically TELL them you don't want them to share your info to "partners", ie amazon.com, etc.

It's like reading the fine print. Gotta be done even if it isn't the fun part of the experience :)

sorry, wandered off for a bit, yes, i saw you got the granny jones, congrats :)

the boho first edition cardstock is so much nicer than the second edition. I can see why you wanted one. I have both the silver and the ordinary(un silver?) versions. luckily i got the silver secondhand, so i'm not too worried about using it, though it is still in as new condition. i'm much less worried about using my seconhand vrgold, as it's been well shuffled before i got it, and i love it much more than the one without the gold.
oddlyenough, i've been quite unmoved by the pictures of the alice tarot. i think it's going to be the only baba one i'm not going to have.

Good question, Lute.

I think the Mini Cats have the perfect cardstock. Very Happy with them. (Part of me was afraid they'd disappoint, like when I got the 2nd edition)

Glad to have been wrong. and the little bag - my only Baba bag - it just elegant.

i like the kittie cardstock too, it is unlike any of the other baba cards.

i've been thinking about getting another sling pouch bag from baba, maybe in their next sale, which is the only time i buy their stuff other than cards. the one i have is starting to get threadbare on the top edges, because i use it all the time. little old ladies admire it a lot when i'm wearing it.

cardlady is addling my tiny brain with all the card references. i never did manage to understand it last time i tried :rolleyes:

So, which pattern bag? I think that would be the hardest thing for me. CHoosing which card I want on my bag. When I was looking at cigarette cases (though I don't smoke) I always would pic the one with ALL the cards on them. :P

I never understand the card stuff from our Great Lady, until she breaks it down a bit more. (sometimes, not even then) :)

idiots, why did they open it? they could see what it was. at least they sent it to you, and didn't just throw it out.
They wanted to. Joe begged them to take money out of his "store account" and mail it to me...

Amazon has changed? How long has it been since you've been there? Guess I'm there almost daily so didn't notice. Or it happened a bit ago and I'm already used to it? :P

Need to get back to turbo tax. Need to finish my return. Need money! :P

Course I need to pick up and deposit my check before I can finish a return, else I can't pay for it.

Money money money. Would love a day to not think of it.

Hey! About thtat FB nonsense: I can't seem to find out how to look at making my page into timeline. How can I make adjustments before it goes permanent, if I can't even find out how to create a timeline?

Not sure. I remember being asked if I want to use it, and saying NO. I've not seen anything that says it's going to be permanent, or that you can't make changes....

Yes, very helpful Cardlady -- thanks!

I think perhaps what someone was seeing was the "7 days til Live" thing....that's from when you click to use it. Which I won't until I'm forced :D

yirabeth

26-01-2012, 01:35

What I don't like about Timeline (from what I've seen on other people's pages) is the header takes up the entire screen, forcing you to scroll to see anything really...and the double column.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a timeline a straight line, not jumping back and forth to follow it??? :D

26-01-2012, 01:41

No, that one left a cliffhanger, which I was annoyed about til I watched this latest one which did NOT leave a cliffhanger:D

It's called "Forever Knight" about a vampire who wants to be human again. I'd seen an episode way back when, and when I saw it while searching for more Pretender shows, I decided to watch it.

Just finished it. It makes me mad! GRRRR!!

Oooh, Forever Knight. It loved the fact that it was both filmed in Toronto and admitted it. It had the CN Tower and Honest Ed's in the opening credits.

Oh, and Nick was kinda cute too.

Young Keifer Sutherland. Might have been the first time I saw him.
Nope, never saw it LOL I never saw more than an episode or two of any show unless the ex liked it. And never watched a movie ex didn't like. Lost Boys wasn't among them I guess? LOL

I have not really equated "sexy" with vampire. There is a magnetism, being mesmerized by the Presence, a raw power. But not what I would find or term sexy. Of course, I have not seen much in the genre either.

Well, you're right really - being a reader of Dracula and the Historian and so on, Jes and I just liked the blokes, and who doesn't like a bit of super-human powers now and again LOL

But really, do I find the idea sexy? no.

Okay, my Cunning Plan half-worked.

The travel discount won't work, as it's a physical certificate that would come through the mail. But I officially have a room booked at a downtown hotel for one night. A nice big queensize bed all to myself, with a kitchenette if I want to eat in instead of eating out.

Now I just have to pre-book my ticket to the concert, which will save me another $5, and book my ticket with a different bus line, not the one that the discount would have required.

Edit: Bus Tickets, booked. Music Ticket, booked, ready to be picked up at the door.

This is the prose that went under the picture :

Straight Talk From Fox

Listen says fox it is music to run
over the hills to lick
dew from the leaves to nose along
the edges of the ponds to smell the fat
ducks in their bright feathers but
far out, safe in their rafts of
sleep. It is like
music to visit the orchard, to find
the vole sucking the sweet of the apple, or the
rabbit with his fast-beating heart. Death itself
is a music. Nobody has ever come close to
writing it down, awake or in a dream. It cannot
be told. It is flesh and bones
changing shape and with good cause, mercy
is a little child beside such an invention. It is
music to wander the black back roads
outside of town no one awake or wondering
if anything miraculous is ever going to
happen, totally dumb to the fact of every
moment's miracle. Don't think I haven't
peeked into windows. I see you in all your seasons
making love, arguing, talking about God
as if he were an idea instead of the grass,
instead of the stars, the rabbit caught
in one good teeth-whacking hit and brought
home to the den. What I am, and I know it, is
responsible, joyful, thankful. I would not
give my life for a thousand of yours.

~ Mary Oliver ~

cardlady22

I am not surprised.Has she had things happen in her life that make her think her First Impulse or intuition are far more trustworthy than taking the time to plan things out? Does she latch on to a single person or message as The Way to do things? Her card Energies have a lot going for them, as long as she is careful about what/who is inspiring her.

Not so far as I know...Unless you count being taught as a child that anything she wants, she should have, and it should be automatically given to her because she's just THAT great... :D

I have to be honest in that I don't KNOW her well, I just know her actions and the harmful things she's done (both to me and others)

Except...that single person or message thing -- could be her involvement in the Seventh Day Adventists group...a lot of the harm she's caused came from that time period. She doesn't follow that any more, from what I have been told, although she stands firmly by all her judgements made at that time, and continues to make new ones based on a 'nothing in particular, just the way it is' sort of thing...

Yep, could be that as well... :)

yirabeth

26-01-2012, 05:21

Yep, I've shuffled playing cards into nonexistence..and my Gilded is close to that...Shadowscapes was beginning to look a bit shabby, although it took A LOT longer than the Gilded... :D (Better cardstock/print job I'm guessing)

I think the only cards that can really stand up to it are USG and I can't riffle them any more...WOE is me.... :rolleyes:

There's something to be said for having more decks than you can use, I think. :laugh:

That's how I feel...I'm only slightly annoyed that the SS was returned to me -- because that means I have to come up with money for another copy for Joe (after having just lost my child support.) But in terms of backup? Well, my backup DOES have a ruined card in it, so maybe it's for the best...hehe

I've been using my Crow's Magick deck to practice riffle shuffling on, as I'm not bothered if it gets ruined. So far I am not doing well! Think my hands are too small? *shrugs*

Owww Yira, that sounded painful, I've got a few scars from when my dogs have played a bit rough :D

yirabeth

26-01-2012, 06:28

Plus the Crow's Magick is USG and can stand up to a nuclear blast... :D

Llewellyn decks are much easier to riffle, if you want to learn. What I did to my Shadowscapes, though, is trim it...even that little bit made a HUGE difference. (I think it was 1.2cm? maybe 1.4. something like that.)

I keep popping in when time allows, though you all talk so much I end up with paaaaages of stuff to read when I finally do check in! :bugeyed:

I'm ecstatic because we finally got our Christmas tree down today! :laugh:

How many posts per page do you have your Options set to? That can make a difference. Also, don't feel like you have to catch up first. Sometimes I read first; others I post before people leave on me.

Erm I have no idea! I've never fiddled with the settings so I guess whatever the default amount is? I kinda just skim through the posts anyways, otherwise I would never find time to post :laugh:

yirabeth

26-01-2012, 06:50

That is so true and another good reason :D

Wow I love what you've done with the Shadowscapes Yira. Only problem I would have is I wouldn't know which card was which after trimming, and I'm too much of a wuss to attempt trimming!

One day.... ;)

Ordinarily this would bother me too -- but I've been using the SS almost exclusively for nearly 2 years - I know the cards already :P

If you have troubles keeping up, the best option to is..not. :D

If you need to, do what others do at times! Stop in, say HEY! and ask for any important stuff..and spend your time BEING here not trying to be where we're not any more :)

And I can't remember when or how, but I know I've seen this movie with the Cellabee?I'm sure they've been broadcast various ways since their releases. Celebi is one of the cutest.

One of my favorite story lines is Pokemon The Movie 3 with Entei and the Unown.

Dunno why, but started watching Roswell from the beginning. Never saw more than a few episodes. Really just watched it back then to hear Dido's song.

Home :love:

Kinda caught up but not going back, if ya know what I mean. I'm still gonna work on the FB thing. I deleted a bunch of stuff just 'cause there's no reason for it to still be there. kinda a LOT of gaps....I was there....and NOT :bugeyed: LOL!

I'm not sure I understand the thing about....let's say I post on WF's page. Does that mean any of WF's friends can view my profile? It doesn't right? She'd just be able to see what I posted on WF's wall (< or whatever it's called)

Stormdancer

26-01-2012, 09:13

Ok...I get what I didn't this morning. I don't understand the 2 columns. I KNEW there was something that was nagging at me. Gotta figure out how to get rid of that.

oh...did I say HI??? HI ~~~~~

yirabeth

26-01-2012, 09:19

Hi Stormy!

That link that Cardlady posted says to click a star when you post it, and it means it's "more important" and will get to take 2 column lengths. SO, I plan on clicking the star on EVERY post :D

I'll leave things be, because I'm just defiant that way... :D

AT THIS POINT -- I'll say no to others' friends being able to view your profile *If you don't set it to friends of friends* I'll try to go through it tonight to be sure, though.

This is one thing that would cause me to quit facebook, though. I will NOT have that man checking up on me. NO WAY.

Good GAWD that star makes everything larger than LIFE... :D

I'm GUESSING we'll be able to, the "publish" part just makes it visible to all. I would THINK we could do things much like we do now, change things, move things around etc. But, I won't guarantee it until I publish...

Okay I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say with the ability to make my posts full page instead of in columns...I'm gonna like this.

Oh and Hi, not on for long as it is almost time to take lil one upstairs to go to sleep. He did NOT have a nap today.

Hey Kaleanna :) Hopefully he'll sleep well tonight to make up for no nap!

26-01-2012, 09:41

hello :)

i went back to the beginning of this pub to try to catch up a bit, and saw the bit about yira's exhusbeast :( (((((Yira and Jack))))) and also (((((Jesii)))). stupid fathers who care more about money than people :( :( :( i haz one of them. *sigh*
it's little brother's birthday tomorrow (dad's favourite child, my half brother) so i will probably ring him. he will probably lie to me again about dad.

i need coffee. it's getting close to noon, and i haven't had breakfast yet as i've been waiting for the painkillers to work so my wrist is better enough to slice the yummy sourdough fruitloaf i bought yesterday.

emmsma

26-01-2012, 09:44

Popping in between episodes. Yes, Roswell the series.

Teenage aliens - that look just like us- living in Roswell, NM. :D

Very teenage, but....

Need to see whats in checking, so I can pay turbotax and for one outstanding ebay purchase.

Cool, I might look that up, Emmsma. I'm currently watching VR5, which is a show about virtual reality. Love it! hehe

Thank you Lute -- we'll be okay :) Been talking about it off and on, with Jack, and he's handling it pretty well. I keep emphasizing it's no lack in him, but in his father. He agrees because "It's not just me, I might wonder if it was just me, but he's been bad to all 4 of us.." (my 3 plus stepson)

hi stormy :) oompa is totally useless at stuff like that. and fortunately he is living about 500 miles away :D The last time he came to visit, he had been promising to clean the gutters for me when he came. he stayed just long enough for two cups of tea, said he wasn't wearing the right clothes to do the gutters, and left :rolleyes:
anyway, i haz a slate roof, i wouldn't let him mess with it. i think i need to replace some guttering, unless the possums have moved some slates. it's a public holiday, so can't contact a roof person till tomorrow. and i can't afford it anyway. have to do something though. still waiting to hear from the evil government department re my appeal. bought another lotto ticket in the meantime :)

nice little bags, kaleanna.

raw :) she has a mostly raw food diet, and things with bones are ALWAYS raw. she has very good teeth :) she eats a lot of the bone, just leaves a little bit for me to step on.

yirabeth

26-01-2012, 10:14

Yeah, the painful little bit... :D :D

My dogs prefer raw too, although right now I can't due to cost. But I could never get Jasmine to accept it. Too set in her ways.

We're doing good :) We talked a bit more while I cooked dinner tonight...kinda just regular conversation not sit-down-hash-it-out style. Although he said it would be fun to see how his jeep reacted to C4 (LOL) he said it in jest, and was laughing. He realizes he's not a bad kid.

my kitty is sleeping on the floor of the hallway, outside the computer room. she's given up trying to sit on my lap, and i think she's lurking nearby so she can sit on me again if i start watching the tennis. there's a match this afternoon i'm going to watch, clijsters and azarenka. nadal and federer aren't on until tonight.

i should go and do the washing up, and put away yesterday's shopping, and maybe cook something, as i won't want to cook later due to watching tennis. still really tired from yesterday's shopping effort, and achey bones.

She was there for New Years. She's been a few times though. Her dad lives there, but he's originally Canadian. She's a Flight purser, so she's been everywhere.

I swear! The minute I sit down to do something for myself, everyone starts requiring things from me!! I haven't sat down for more than 2 minutes in the last hour. Leave me alone family!!! :D

Am I still in trouble??? And I thought I'd been hiding long enough to come out now :):):)

Surely one false declaration by Linnie couldn't so unravel sanity, upset the ball cart (is that an expression... 2.47pm, and my mind is none the better for it!! :)), could it?

I won't ask what's been happening... family stuff, by the sound of it.. and Lute has extracted her head from the TV tennis for long enough to chat a little... That was awesome tennis the other night, eh Lute? and I won't say which night,lest I confuse people all over again.

It's not raining today... yet... a beautiful sunny morning, and washing on the line, but overcast again... I'm willing it away as my plane to Sydney leaves tomorrow am, and the local river is under 'moderate flooding', whatever that means, so... hmmm.. anyway... a big hello to you all... just noticed a big black cloud and rumbles so must dash for washing, and maybe even get off computer... ce la vive :)

awesome tennis, you mean nadal and berdych (spelling?) i was watching it when a friend came over who doesn't understand tennis at all, and she made me explain the rules and the scoring, and every now and then i just had to say "shut up a minute, ok, this is an important point, oh, no, it's deuce again" and she'd say "juice?, what, they break for juice?" LOL

Lol!

My same friend who just got back from Oz had some major tennis player on one of her flights, but I can't remember the name now. Apparently very cute too. I wanna say Tom or Tommy or Fred, but I don't think that's right. I'm pretty sure his last name starts with an M, and I think he is an Aussie. I'm sure I could be even more confusing if I worked at it.

there's an aussie called bernard tomic, he's very good. he just got beaten by federer a couple of days ago, but he played really well. i'm not sure who else it might have been, if aussie, can't think of a name with m.

I had to send her a message on FB because I must figure this out, but I don't know what country she's in or if she's flying over Iceland at the moment. I may not get an answer any time soon.

I have this thing about Nadal... he can make me watch tennis for hours... not him as much as how he plays, even when it's not his best game... I wish Berdych had received more applause, though... he was playing really well, and, as my OH noted, doesn't pull the matcho "Yes!! Did everyone see that?... I won that point and what an awesome shot it was, too!!!" curl-lipping gloat face that so many others do... :)

hi NT and linnie if you're still there. i don't like berdych, he is the one who refused to shake hands after a match a few days ago, where his opponent 's return shot hit him on the arm, said he had been hit on purpose, who knows, but the other guy tried to apologise several times, and berdych was just plain rude, whinging like a little boy. maybe that's why the crowd didn't applaud him much. anyway, i like nadal :) he is great to watch, as well as being HOT :D and so is federer. can't decide who i want to win out of those two in tonight's match :) federer is as graceful as a ballet dancer. i don't even care about the game when he plays, i just love watching him move across the court.

Hello!!! I'm sorry I haven't been around - I just get so busy with work and Uni and end up zonking out. But I've been fine generally, knee deep in a research project using manuscripts. How have you, and everyone else been!?

cardlady22

26-01-2012, 23:58

Lots of crazy weather & health stuff; gearing up for the income tax season & seeing what the various credit changes will cost us. My son had a birthday. Paying full adult prices for all outings now. :P

Oh no, no more 'child gets in free'!? But yes, busy, busy, and I haven't played with my tarot cards for so long :( I need to give them a little burst of New Year energy and play some of the game threads with them.

I'm about to anger my whole family and unfriend my sister on facebook...I swear she's driving me to violent tendencies.... :rolleyes:

Yep, all's well here! Sounds like you've been VERY busy...I know how uni can be♥

Frayling0

27-01-2012, 00:11

Yes, haha. We just started Paleology, so we're allowed into the archives now to study all the old manuscripts and texts from when Bristol was a smuggler city. It's fascinating, but sooo involving. We've had essay and project after essay and project.

I'm glad all is well :D

I'm crossing my fingers that the iPod Touch I'm looking at is honestly what it says. The boy currently has an 8GB 2nd gen that can't upgrade past iOS 4.2 ~ we're looking to replace with a 32GB 3rd gen for about $175.

Well, they just started a show called "the best thing I ever made". Before that it was home-made pasta sauce and muffins on "chef at home".

EDIT: OMG they just showed *slices* of hard butter as a sandwich ingredient.

I'm pretending the tax filing doesn't exist yet. Knocking on wood because the house & all appliances are at 11 years old now. That's part of why I went ahead and sprang for everybody's Pod machines. It'll be a lot easier to come up with a $15 iTunes card sporadically. :rolleyes:

Today is dark and rainy, I ran an errand and am staying home dog sitting. Getting motivated to vacuum the house. I need to do taxes too, in dire need of the refund.

The day down here has been too bright. And there is just enough of a hint of smoke in the air that I feel my chest react when the front door gets opened. I didn't see a plume when I checked the mail, but it's wafting.

I've no idea. I don't see any official scheduled burn notices. Not going to worry since I don't see anything in any direction, but I can't be outside.

Haven't been able to think of anything to do for Ace day. :(

I hope it's not an early start to the swamp fires. Even though it's far to the south of me, last year the smoke bothered my lungs a lot. I don't think my asthma's like yours, though. Did the winds carry that smoke down your way last year?

27-01-2012, 07:36

I got a check from the co-op health food store that I'm a member/part-owner of, back in my old hometown... it's my patronage refund for this past year: $5.46 Not exactly celebrating money, but definitely better than a sharp stick in the eye. :P

Here's the odd thing though. The amount is based on how much I shopped there between July 2010 and July 2011. The statement claims I spent $728.59 there, during that time period. But I haven't lived in that town for a couple of years. So how did I spend over seven hundred dollars? It seems that somebody is using my membership. :rolleyes:

I thought about it though, and decided I don't care. It doesn't hurt the co-op and I get a weenie check out of it. :P

Laura Borealis

27-01-2012, 07:40

I don't have asthma (I think that's emmsma) but I do have a lot of sinus & upper respiratory flare-ups. I'm in the middle of the state, so I don't know if things up your way would be thick enough by the time they reached me. It's when I visit my sister in NC that we worry about hitting patches along the drive.

Ooohhh I think I was assuming, based on you saying your lungs react. I wasn't thinking about how there are different sorts of reactions.

I was thinking we were about equidistant from last year's wildfires, but I don't yet have a feel for which way the prevailing winds blow in this part of the world.

cardlady22

He's not at the hospital though. And no unknown accident victims tonight.

But, I have no idea where he COULD be...

Ugggh he is in SO MUCH TROUBLE when he comes home!!!

Well Jack's home and ticked off. Guess our local "bus" system decided to give him a tour of the surrounding countryside..and no phone to call home with.

Hey those are almost easier than my quesadillas!!! Me likes this one!
It's super easy! Open a jar of sauce, use pre-cooked meats...LOL I cooked some turkey sausage though, and rinsed it. To control fat...both of us are chunky. So we like flavor but don't need excess fat hehe.

But, if you opt for pepperoni slices..or canadian bacon...easy peasy! Or buy pre-cooked bacon and crumble it. The store had that on sale today, $2 a box. 16 slices in each, which is about a pound uncooked...I snapped up a couple :D I'll make cracker pizzas with them..LOL

You know those Totino's Party Pizzas? Small individual sized pizzas on a cracker like crust. These are like that. Only better. MUCH better!!
Hon? Give yourself a break. I think we all do this as they get older and more mobile, and you've "history" to make it even worse for you. Be gentle, Yira :heart:
Yeah...I'm trying to..but to be honest I've always had an issue with overactive imagination. Joe getting hurt just made it that bit worse...one of my things I need to work on. Every siren isn't because someone I love is hurt.

There's a thread for it. You don't wanna go there. You have nothing to apologize for. Yira just knows about it and is sending me & others the LOVE she knows we're gonna need in the next month or so. No harm, Lute....

SO...how many decks are surrounding you for the dominos? LOL

LOL...I have 34 out for physical perusal. I've learned more about my decks with this game, just by fondling...er...searching...:D

Lutestring

27-01-2012, 11:20

i'm lucky, no one around to mess up my decks but me, but i don't like to leave cards on the bed, in case kitty gets ideas. i put the decks back into their bags or boxes, and then leave them on the bed.
kitty hasn't tried chewing anything lately. she was very fond of cardboard when i first got her. she sometimes jumps on the bed when i have cards out, and has nearly bent a few doing that. if she's already asleep on the bed, it's safe. it's just the sudden jumping that can do terrible things to a card :)

i haven't counted, about a dozen out, and more about to come out of the cupboard...

I need a better system of organization in the cupboard. a lot are inaccessible until i get out the ones in front, so i end up with lots out when i'm just looking for one :rolleyes:

i need to work out a better storage system. or have fewer decks :bugeyed: noooo!

yirabeth

27-01-2012, 11:47

I need to do something about my storage...the decks I just got, don't have a home..my little bookshelf is..too little :P

Lutestring

27-01-2012, 11:59

the main problem with deck storage is that the decks are all different sizes, and i have a strange kind of way of grouping them. baba decks have to be together, and little decks with animals on them, and LS decks, and odd decks i don't look at much, etc etc...and then they don't quite fit so i have to juggle them around to fit the gaps.

i still have a few that live out of the cupboard, because i use them most, but also because they just don't fit. and there are some in boxes... and i don't even have that many, really (that sounds like the justification of an addict, whoops) :D

you can be a "collector" with 3 decks :laugh:

i'm a collector, but i also use them. i can't afford to have backups of everything. i've only got two backups, boho kitties first edition, and touchstone LE. i always keep all the packaging, it's all my virgo perfectionist tendencies. a deck isn't complete without it's packaging. well, i don't keep shrinkwrap, i'm not nuts. just the boxes.

i don't have anyone to leave my decks to when i die, so i might as well enjoy them. i've just been looking through my VRgold :)

yes, there's not much point in having a lovely deck hiding away in the cupboard. i use the greenwood too :bugeyed: :laugh:

i don't have anything really old, just a few oop or limited editions that would be expensive to replace. i think if i had something very old, i would want to use it sometimes, very carefully. even a pam a/b/c :D it's not likely i ever will, unless there's one at the flea market. damn it, maybe there was one today, i didn't go...

My only two old ones are lenormands

a Gypsy witch fortune telling deck from 1903

and a red owl from 1940

And I LOVE them- they are fabulous to use, like butter in the hands.

This would be my first old "tarot" deck- I don't like the Visconti or Marseilles- so have no interest in even purchasing the new ones :D

HAHAHA- I have no fear! NONE, I tell ya.

You have to be careful since the majors have different sizes for the pics than the minors do- but it turned out beautifully.

I have since gifted it to a good friend, as it just wasn't working for me anymore, after all those years. I had the bump on the noggin that was saying- no hon, not the deck for you anymore, time to move on.

So- it is now in a loving home.

I really like the Etteila deck as, to me, it is a mix between a tarot and lenormand- sort of.

Hmmm- and the chance to own one of the originals would be nice- I do love my old cards.

I will watch it for now- until I get a chance to find out if the price is reasonable...

Ack. Well, it's better to know than not, so you can plan for your health... I hope they can put it out soon and that everyone is safe.

See that's part of the problem...my brain makes up these stories of what MUST have happened and then suddenly I'm SURE that's what's happened...

Any Bohemian - she likes it so much but thinks it's too deep or too clever or something - all the hype that surrounds the deck has bamboozled her! She just needs to slap it on the table and threaten it a bit, and then do it :)

So it wont show me cricket text scores.... but it will give me video's? I so don't understand technology :S

Why doesn't it show you the cricket score?

Anyway follow the sport link to tennis and it should give you a link.
If you get stuck let me know how far you get, and we'll go through the screens together

LOL! you really wouldn't want my tv, it's crap :) the old one that came back to life has such a bad picture it's hard to see the ball. i'm watching on the tiny old portable, which screams. it makes an electrical high pitched scream as soon as you turn it on, but you sort of get used to it.

ad break, murray won the second set, djokovic looks tired. apparently he has been having problems breathing, no wonder he looks tired. loooong rallies.

lovely deck, the silver :) i use the VRgold a lot more though.

http://www.badminton-horse.co.uk/

yirabeth

27-01-2012, 21:53

Yep..actually the ONLY sports I like...hehe I like racing, jumping, dressage...

Okay not fully true I do like ice skating too :P

But I really wanted to be a jockey growing up...alternated with riding the jumping circuit, and of course dressage :D

I also like competitive trail riding (long distance riding under adverse conditions and coming in first with the horse in best condition at end) but that's not a televised thing :)

My aunt used to do it, and although we lived on the other side of the mountains from her growing up, we got to spend two weeks of each summer with her (each of us kids, separately) and she let me ride one of her horses as she continued to train her main for the next ride... I usually rode "Soldier Boy" because she said I really put him to work, he was lazier than a pet coon (lol) but when I was up, I was determined NOT to get left behind and therefore not allowed to join her on her training runs.... :)

So, I got the gruelling conditions but no ribbon at the end :D My aunt said I was obviously a glutton for punishment! :P

ETA - Guess I didn't answer the actual question --- no, there's nowhere nearby for me to watch any phase of a run. But I loved it back then! hehe

G'morning Kaleanna :)

I'm totally bummed. LOL I'd been downloading movies for Jack, because we have no TV...and I've run out of disc space for movies. And I can't afford an external drive.

Guess I got into this whole downloading thing! :P

Well when he's wwatched them a couple of times you can delete his least favourite and add a couple more?

Stormdancer

Wendywu

27-01-2012, 22:35

Thumbsticks. SD cards ..... I have a 32Gb micro SD - holds hours and hours of concerts :)

If you get the 8Gb ones they're cheap enough, and you can swap old ones onto them and have the new ones on hard drive?

Or - get a free burner program and burn some onto disc?

Wendywu

27-01-2012, 22:36

PathWalker

27-01-2012, 22:40

That just SOOO goes against the whole "back it up!" mentality.... :eek:

Might have to though.

Considering uninstalling my last game to free up space (Diablo II) I haven't been playing for quite some time...but..it's tough giving up an era...

I don't really understand?
If the end of the world comes, and no more films are ever made, are you going to have the time to watch movies? Or electricity?
Why keep loads of second rate films (for example) when you could see something new, or just get them again sometime? (I'm assuming you downloaded them fro free from somewhere?)

yirabeth

27-01-2012, 22:42

Might need to do that Wu :) What I was HOPING to do was get a cord to connect the spare computer to the TV, and just use that machine for our "TV"...hehe Of course, that would require replacing the hard drive with a couple BIG ones too. It has a 40gb hard drive..it's OOOLD. But has a good video card because Jack gamed with it until I could upgrade the one he's on now LOL (And he is SO NOT GIVING IT UP!)

Hmm...40gb hard drive..I wonder if I could mount it in my current machine :D I have spare slots... :P

yirabeth

27-01-2012, 22:45

Well if the end of the world comes, I'm guessing we won't be watching ANY movies! :D :D

I'm not keeping any second rate ones. But Jack likes to watch and rewatch...over and over and over...so deleting them would be silly, considering how long it takes to get them sometimes.

But good idea about going through and getting rid of ones he wasn't so fond of :)

Wendywu

27-01-2012, 22:45

Hmm...40gb hard drive..I wonder if I could mount it in my current machine :D I have spare slots... :P

Check out ebay for cheap smaller hard drives. There are some fantastic bargains to be had in the 100Gb range ... especially used, where peeps have upgraded. Be choosey and look for the ultra techy types selling 'cos they can specify exactly what they're selling. We do that a lot for cheap kit.

Our main backup drive is external - couldn't afford that capacity as anything else. But it works, and it was cheap enough for us to get it.

Himself is running out of space on his machine - got no spare slots. He's been housekeeping last few days, but I think he's going to have to buy a larger one and replace one of his existing drives.

yirabeth

27-01-2012, 22:56

Space is always an issue I guess...I *REALLY* thought when I put 2 250gbs in this machine I'd never have a problem :rolleyes: Instead I'm looking for options...lol To be honest, there's not a lot I can do now -- comes down to money. But I swear I'm gonna be working soon! I have to be. Then I can save for a larger hard drive, if nothing else.

Why does it need to be "tiny"?

I only want one mugful at a time and I am hopeless at measuring, so if I have a tiny pot I can put just one teaspoonful of leaves in, brew and pour. If I want cold tea I can make loads overnight in a jug in the fridge but fresh, hot tea is special. I re-use the leaves once and that works well too. (Not being cheap, the directions say you should).

Himself is allergic to tea and James doesn't drink it. So - a pot for one ....

Guess I better get up and get ready for Elaina to get here anyway LOL I skipped vacuuming yesterday because "it doesn't look bad.." only now it looks AWFUL. Shedding mutt makes for yucky carpet. Should never skip a day. It's laziness I think.

I am attempting to move Jack's cage up to my workroom, so that
a) I can have the space back in the front room (it was kind of temporary
b) I can use the stand for the macaws (if we keep them - sssh)

So there's parrot mess everywhere, including up the stairs :(

It would have helped if I'd told him where we were going, and if the damn Society had put up a sign outside the church hall ..... instead, we walked in to a hall full of the damn plants :bugeyed:. I just told him it was a flower show!

Hi - had parrot sat on right fore-arm having a fuss - now he's on right shoulder!

I KNOW you have no control over a parrot on your shoulder, but he doesn't :(

cardlady22

28-01-2012, 01:30

I'm confused- does the parrot want to be on your arm instead of the shoulder?

Sorry, my headache is getting worse and aspirin hasn't kicked in yet. Overcast days always do this.

yirabeth

28-01-2012, 01:32

There are circumstances when it's okay :) I always allowed Kitty to ride my shoulder when we went to the vet -- that way she could hide under my hair. Otherwise she was a wreck...she didn't like going out. Gracie is different, a social flower... :laugh:

I only allow Gracie on my shoulder when Jack's not home. She doesn't like Jack much LOL

He'd rather be on my shoulder the whole time - but I can't really see him, can't control him, can't stop him taking flight or taking a chunck out of my ear!

Hope the medication starts working soon - I have to take soluble oones when I'm bad, otherwise the headache gets so I can't keep the tablets down.

Yeah, nothing like coming up against self-will-run riot to make even a saintly person lose their cool. Is Dex into crystals? When he's had a chance to calm down, I see him with a green crystal of some sort; could be anything so long as it's green - healing energy to absorb some of the "snake-bite" venom he took in spiritually.

(((( Lute, also )))) Family stuff... that can be really hard, too. I see it in K.'s family. The splits were long ago but the repercussions are still felt.

I did something to my thumb earlier, and it felt like it was out of joint. So painful every time it moved. Tried not to use it for anything, but it's my dominant hand... force of habit had it gripping things, etc. Even reaching out for the space bar hurt. But now it's back to normal. So weird.

A deck with socks? :confused: Is it the FooT Tarot?

Oh, I meant to ask....

Laura....back to the old avie???? Why?

I felt pirate-y again. I actually had one in between the bear and now. But it was visually similar to the bear and nobody commented. :D

yira -- I know, no obligation, but I wants!

CL -- I've seen other brands too. We carried 2-3 different ones at the health food store. Works great and no sugar either.

I just did a quick dungeon with someone who was triple-boxing. Interesting... I wouldn't have the ability to spread my attention out that much. Triple-boxing is one person playing three characters at once. They were doing tanking, healing, and dps. All paladins, I think... the healer and tank were at least. All looked identical and all had names that ended in -balls. :P

Sorry for being a stranger. I do this when obsessing on a show. I should be done in a few days or so.

Picked up a shift tomorrow. Short one. 9 til 12. Then more of my Roswell Marathon. Suppose I should look to see how many seasons there were. No idea. Making me want to go back and watch Buffy and Angel. :P (Didn't watch alot of Angel. It got real stupid, real fast.)

I don't like women's tennis either.

Some would say, India have been doing badly, and should consider forcing some of their older, out of form players, to think about retiring SOON.

I like bold flavor, I drink French(Dark) Roast most of the time. I just don't like it as strong as the k-cup machines make it.

Hi and bye! *waves* Have a great day!
That'll be a nice treat after a long day. So are you working every day?

My schedule right now, is that I have the bulk of my hours(40) Monday thru Thursday, then only my 2 hour evening client on Sat. and Sun. So it's kind of a 4 day week. I love having so much free time 3 days in a row, and I don't really mind the evening shift, it's not hard work, mostly walking the dog and visiting, right in town.

How cute of lil one, to whisper to you like that, kaleanna.

I woke up at 7:40(really sleeping in for me) and because it was daylight, I started to panic that I'd overslept the alarm, till I woke up enough to figure it out. I hate that feeling.

I hate that feeling.I used to panic when I'd do that in the late afternoons. I'd wake up from a nap at 5 thinking it was 5am and I was late for work, until I realized it was dinnertime. :laugh:

Doesn't matter for me- I can take vitamins out the wazoo and my daughter, every time she gets sick, is always wanting to snuggle and rub her snot all over me- so, I get sick EVERY time!

At least my son has the sense to keep it to himself. But the hubby and daughter- well, like little Typhoid Marys!

20 degrees and snowing on Monday.

55 degrees and sunny on Tuesday.

Repeat.

Crazy!

yirabeth

29-01-2012, 01:51

Pretty much that way here too. Last week we were in the subzeroes, yesterday I went shopping with just a quilted flannel for my 'overcoat' because it in the 40's...

This coming week goes from 28f to 42f according to the forecast.

Can't say as though I mind that much. I hate the subzero temps. My water freezes then :D

kaleanna

29-01-2012, 01:56

I slipped out to start a load of clothes and finally make room somewhere else for lil one's bike so that it doesn't have to be in the entry hall.

I have so much more stuff to do today. Might not get it all done but sure will try too.

Glad you are feeling better cardlady.

Hiya Pen

Yep lil one was too cute this morning

Hi all :)

Been a busy day but got a lot done, and visited with my in-laws who are nearly over their nasty colds. Was very worried about them - they are in their 80's, and a very bad cold can be serious for them.

Wendywu

29-01-2012, 02:35

Ah - language thingy - "not feeling special" here means I didn't feel that well - nothing I could put a name to, but I had a headache, very real tiredness and pain in my surgery sites that just wouldn't go away. Thankfully all is well again now :)

Crikey - nothing that special then :grin:

Those sound really interesting decks.

You into Lenormand? I'm not really up for straight prediction, so never really thought about Lenormand all that much. But it sounds like it might suit you.

Also, Playing Card Oracle deck - I always wondered about that one ...

LOL! :D

I do like them- they are great when you need something that can narrow down timing for you.

My grandmother always read with playing cards, and could get spot on- to the DAY, of when things would happen.

The tarot is nice for big stuff- but when I want to know WHEN- that is when I go to the playing cards, and now the lenormand- which works fabulously.

Still loving my Icelandic though- so glad I found it!

Heehee- I think TCO is distracted })

I have been sending him the details of that sibyl deck.

There is one seller in the US who is asking TWICE the going rate for it- and was very much an ass when I very NICELY tried to tell him the going price.

So, I bought it from Germany instead. And let him know the price and sent HIM pictures of the deck.

The Bruegel does look cool. The High Priestess especially attracts me, for some reason. http://www.albideuter.de/html/bruegel_2.html

Good morning everyone! (Well, evening here!)

Crikey, IBTPC or what?!

Yet again I am massively behind on posts so apologies for not being properly caught up. I skimmed and saw that Penthasilia has been buying decks... ooops, I mean NOT buying decks as no one saw a thing!

EllieP stopped by yesterday on her way home and left with a Swietlistej Drogi set (but forgot to take her lovingly homemade birthday card :rolleyes: - guess where HER priorities were? :P )

Hi Est!

:D I am learning very quickly how to spot fakes and overpriced goods. This guy from California is being a true ass. When I told him how much the other deck in Germany was offered for- he snarkily replied that the conversion would make it $350, (his is listed at 600), and I said- why yes, thank you, but I am aware of conversion rates and being almost half of the price of your deck, felt that it was a more appropriate sale. Good luck in selling yours.

Grrrr...enough to make me want to do a long-distance smack down!

Hey everyone! Hows the day going? Just home. We were very busy for a technician day.

My doctor was there to check on a patient and kept needing things. We also had a bandage change for an ear crop. Neither of us that were there had actually done one - we'd both held for the doctor and didn't feel confident about our work. So we ended up calling in the other doctor to make sure it was ok.

So I'm tired this afternoon. Hubby is making baked ziti. Sounding so good. I'm hungry already so not sure what do have while I wait.

Stormdancer

Hi everyone - I'm back. Couldn't keep up all week. The course was just so time consuming. But as Est has pointed out, I did hold on to enough energy back to grab the Polish deck off her as I drove past ;-) It is soooo beautiful. I spent some time this morning going through each card of the majors and will continue tomorrow. Trim them, Wu? Good god, no. Never.

Stormy - how was the dragon roll then?
Emmsma - baked ziti? What the heck is that in English??
Sorry you're ill PW - sore throats are worse than colds really.

Right, back to an essay but am watching y'all! Except while I go grab some nuts and cheese. Attack of the munchies has just come on.

I consider it "in bad taste" lives were tragically lost due to the idiocy of the captain & perhaps the crew.

The journey was in two parts to arrive in a strange city in daylight, so that was the weekend gone, and the problem of food I can eat is always with me (diabetes controlled entirely to normal levels via v v low carb, high fat diet). I took the kitchen sink ;) and cooked my own stuff using the guest microwave, and they let me keep a bag of food in their fridge and accessed it each morning to make my own lunch to take to the course. Once sorted, it got to be a routine. The course was always going to be good. Thanks for asking.

Garlic. By the several cloves per bowlful of piping hot soup. Frightens off every vampire in the neighbourhood but cures the common cold very quickly :)

Hi Ellie - congrats on being Glyco-normal - that's brilliant! You T1 or T2? I am T1 following removal of pancreas - good to meet another of us here. I low carb (at around 70g per day) but I don't go as low as Bernstein suggests. Himself rebels and since he's the cook I happily go along with him. I'm running an HbA1C of 5.2 at the moment (with very few hypos).

I carb count and inject insulin accordingly but 'cos I am an exercise freak my ratios are high, and I get away with not that much insulin :)

Well you're doing better, and well done, but it's with the help of insulin so I can't compete :0
My aim is to avoid it! I run constantly at 5.5 on the hba1c and the docs are a) amazed, b) pleased but watchful, c) and the diabetic nurse is cross because I ignore her advice to eat plenty of carbs! I know it ought to be in the 4s but I'm happy with being on the 5 shelf. Got the idea and advice from an amazing uk forum http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/ You're uk aren't you? I think Est said.

This is type 2 supposedly but I'm underweight (as are 20%) but in Europe it would probably be diagnosed as 1.5 but the GPs here don't bother, arguing it will develop to insulin-dependance in a few years anyway. It saves them spending money on me! It's the 'underweight' bit that means no tablets as they make you lose weight.

Sorry everyone else, you probably didn't need to hear all that. *shuts door to stop the diabetes talk getting out*

Morning/evening/day, everyone... :) Finally got this thing to work up in the Mountains :) Different reception/network cverage up here...

Garlic... I recall I used to make "Garlic soup"... basically, simmer up incredibly large amounts of garlic (browned gently first so as to offer some colour... otherwise sadly anaemic soup), gently stir in a well-beaten egg-yolk, and season accordingly... Look, it wasn't the best soup I've ever tasted, but nor was it the worst, and, yes, Wu, it kept vampires away!!! (and friends!!! so garnish with lots of freh parsley!!! :))

oh... and yes, EllieP, Stormy is right... free form chat is it at the Pub, isn't it!!! It's also educational for any others who must manage similar issues. :)

Hey I love that - only the outline shape reminds me of bits of cheese half eaten by a mouse.

I like black and white. When I called in on Est I saw her range of decks (no, not 3,000 - yet) and loved Ironwing immediately. Oops, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that, she'll tell me off. Might have to edit...

There was supposed to be mono one by BOTA, I think, that you could download and colour but it doesn't appear to be around any more.

Sorry. Didnt mean to run off and leave you with questions. Yes Ziti is a pasta. We make it with spaghetti sauce, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses and are putting in italian sausage. (SOmetimes we use ground beef)

ANd just to be a tad more confusing the pasta he is actually using isn't the ziti. Its farafell. Kind of a bowtie pasta, i think.

I didn't realize it would be unfamilar to anyone. Love this place. Window to the greater world.

That actually sounds quite tasty.

When I feel like I'm coming down with something, I take loads of echinacea. The tea is rather horrid (though I kind of like it, it tastes like it's working, you know?) There are capsules of course. I also love this juice called Lemon Ginger Echinacea -- Knudsen brand, but Santa Cruz makes one too. Wonderful stuff. I'd stopped many a cold in its tracks by chugging a couple quarts of this, and drinking echinacea tea.

Okay, another photo, with MORE COWBELL, I mean antler.

The point though is, the site attempts to enhance your original photograph. You highlight what you want to show, and it whites out the rest. It appears to sharpen a bit too, and changes the contrast and stuff. I am not entirely sold on the stark white background, but it seems to be what Etsy wants these days. If you watch the front page, and their featured sellers, very often the photos have this whited out aesthetic.

Deciding on a name is really hard. Especially if you want to sell. I thought of a million different shop names and they were all taken! Well, maybe not a million. :P My shop name, right now, is the Curious Institute.

Pixelcurious is my account name, and it's a name I use elsewhere, like on Twitter (not that I keep that updated) and Livejournal. It's actually the name of one of my favorite sims from Sims 2 -- Pixel Curious, the daughter of Vidcund Curious (if you play the game you'll probably know who the Curiouses are).

Ohhh okay :D I thought you'd put stuff in and wasn't having sales..I wanted to say, show people things sell better then! :P

I'll let you all know!

I might sell that bracelet. It's actually a bit too long for me and I don't wear it. I've maybe worn it twice... is it tacky to sell something you wore? It's not like underwear. :D I don't know how much to ask though.

but you have only just opened it :) and you are going to put things in it soon? i might have to sign up to etsy...

geez, i got so excited, i just dangled the ends of my hair in my coffee while i was typing, yuk! :laugh:

LMAO! The price of long hair. I've done that... :D

I have to make stuff to put in! Opening a shop was a step though...

i will probably want to sell stuff at some point, so want to find a good name. like you said, so many are taken already. i had that problem just finding one for AT, as everything i googled was already used for WoW or was some weird obscure slang term.

Laura Borealis

29-01-2012, 10:02

What about Lutestring? It's very pretty.

ETA and it's not taken!

Lutestring

How did you come up with that name? It's memorable. :thumbsup:

yirabeth

29-01-2012, 10:15

Well, I was going through that whole, WHAT can I call my shop.... :D And cuddling Libby in my lap at the same time. Whose name is actually Liberty....

And Molly is Molly the Moose, named that by Jack when she was 8 weeks old... So, it just kinda popped in my head... Liberty Moose :)

Memorable..and unlikely to be taken :P

ok, that would be good, to get the emails showing up in the main one i use.
if i was sending email, it would be from the one i was signed into at the time, presumably?

the last time i got the computer man to fix something with my computer, he messed up my email addresses somehow. i now get the wrong email address for my sent emails, and i can't work out how to fix it. it defaults to my ebay one, no matter which i use :(

'nother question, sorry :) when i sign up to etsy, that's just my user name, and then i do a 'shop' name later?

If you keep the accounts separate, yes, you'll only be able to send from the one when you're logged into it sorta thing.

If you pull all your emails into ONE email inbox, you'll end up with a drop down box at the top of the email to choose which address you want to send it from.

Do you want me to send you directions on how to pull them all in to one?

Question- if you want to gift someone with a tarot who likes traditional images and thoth- which would you think they would prefer...

Touchstone tarot LE

or

Rosetta tarot

or

Tarot Noir

???

:)

cardlady22

29-01-2012, 13:11

I'm skewed ~ Rosetta is the only one I don't have.

Tarot Noir would be a close #2 if I didn't have it.

so your vote would be the Rosetta

Anyone else?

Lutestring

29-01-2012, 13:15

touchstone LE, because it's one of my favourite decks of all time. not for any logical reason :D
and the icelandic is also one of my favourite decks, remember? i iz strange.

the tarot noir is also lovely...

That sounds good too. My mom uses cream cheese too.

My recipe is --
16 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
The pimentos (run through my mini food chopper)
About three tablespoons of Vegenaise

The lazy way is a 16 oz bag of pre-shredded cheese, but the pre-shredded stuff is drier and so it takes more Vegenaise to integrate into a spread, and it never does quite get to the right texture. But I make it that way anyway, sometimes.

I do have to say though --
Unsalted Saltine crackers -- contradiction in terms. :rolleyes:
And they taste like Protestant communion bread.

Fortunately pimento cheese spread makes them 100% better!
