cease: hi el
Bambi :-) great to see ya. Feeling better now?
llandmyne: hi elayne
Tween-O-Matic: That's great to hear, Bambi
Elayne: Much, Bambi. Aside from a monster of a foot cramp (in the toes) about an hour ago, I'm A-OK. Got a great report from my ophthalmologist this afternoon, so I'm pleased about that too.
Bambi: awesome. great to hear that!
cease: Great news, El
Dexter Fong: Good to hear Elayne
Tween-O-Matic: kewl E :)
Dexter Fong: afkfr
Elayne: Oh, and Cat? Your tea is delicious iced. I'm sipping some now. Thanks again.
cease: glad you enjoy it
Elayne: Yeah, I looked it up online to figure out how much to use per pitcher. Turns out 15ml is about right.
cease: i love it
Elayne: Have lots of extra cheesecloth laying about, so I made a sachet, steeped it for about 10 minutes, and there you are.
cease: i steep it for 3-4 min. tops.
cease: then i make a 2nd mug by adding a bit more tea, so 2 cups at perfect strength, but not bitter
Elayne: The directions said 5-10, I think. Let me get the website.
Bambi: Elayne, in the log I was talking about the rough week I had with my mother this past week ... not sure if you knew about it
Elayne: http://www.teacuppa.com/Hawaii-Cocktail.asp
cease: i like weaker tea than most people
Elayne: Haven't been able to keep up with blogs that much of late, Fran. What's going on?
Elayne: Sorry, not blogs, the log here.
llandmyne: the english wouldn't steep tea for ten minutes
Bambi: spent 6 days and nights with my mother in the hospital 3 hrs away
Bambi: and 2 nights were restless even after getting back .. last night slept 11 hrs
cease: they drink it with milk.i only sweeten with a few drops of honey
Elayne: Oh my. I've just skimmed the log and seen where you said she's doing better now, so there's a mercy. Continued best wishes for her improvement.
Bambi: my mother is doing much better ... we almost lost her twice during the past week though
Bambi: thanks
Bambi: it has been stressful
||||||||| It's 9:50 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Caterino - dead from jaundice
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
Bambi: we lost my dad in '05 ... so it was particularly stressful to think we could lose my mother ....she has had a pretty bad heart attack (lost 1/3 of her heart due to it) and responded very poorly to pain killers they gave her for a broken patella (broke it in half like a china plate during a fall)
llandmyne: I read on the internet the english steep it for half a minute. I've tried that with tea bags and it seems just right
Dexter Fong: I say just put the water and tea in the same room for a fortnight, that's enough
Elayne: Oh my, Fran. Thank goodness my mom is still pretty feisty (snowbirding back to Vegas tomorrow) at 79. But I see my aunt failing in bits and pieces following the death of my uncle; she can't really see any more, and she looks pretty frail.
Bambi: they did a spinal to put 2 screws and a wire in to fix her knee
Elayne: It's weird when you get to this age and realize the generation before you is thinning out.
Bambi: my mom is 73
Tween-O-Matic: That's nasty, Bambi :(
Dexter Fong: 73?
Bambi: she also has dementia/alzheimers
llandmyne: my mom is 160 and still has all her hair
Dexter Fong: Well preserved, eh?
Bambi: so you have to keep telling her where she and why to refresh her memory. other times she remembers...difficult
Tween-O-Matic: I'll bet it's very rough, bambi
cease: sounds lilke mummy
Bambi: certainly sad to see her like that; especially with the heart attack and broken knee on top of everything else
cease: must be hideous, bambi
Bambi: just really sad
Bambi: my dad was very much with it most of the time even toward the end so this is very different
Bambi: well, I am going to go lay down ... sorry, didn't mean to bring everyone down
Dexter Fong: Night Bambi, rest up
cease: my mother benefits from knowing very little
Elayne: Feel better, Fran. Don't neglect to take care of yourself as well.
cease: sleep well, bambi
Bambi: thank you all ... see ya next time
||||||||| Catherwood says "10:00 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs Bambi by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
Elayne: Cat, I just saw your SFU With Fumiyo post. Not enough Fumiyo!
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
cease: Yes, I must post closer images of her. This was the first time she went out shooting with me. We had a great time.
cease: sfu= simone fraser university, up on a mountain
Elayne: If she doesn't mind being photographed, I for one would like to see more of her in your blog.
cease: we are planning another day of shooting somwhere in greater van after the next rainy week
Elayne: Bistro Basque photos came out a little grainy. Bad lighting?
llandmyne: "went out shooting" sounds dangerous
cease: hdvd to stilll photo is a long stretch to begin with and the lighting was very poor
cease: but teh food was unbelievabley good. you must go visit tom and liili and eat there
llandmyne: I had a friend who told me he shot reagan many years ago. I was taken by surprise at first but then remembered he was a photographer

llandmyne: surprised
llandmyne: anyway, he also shot bob dylan and duke ellington

Barnsdall Boy:

Ha, ha, ho! You bet, Dear Friends,
it is going to be all right.

It’s going to be all right tonight,
here at the Powerhouse Church
of the Presumptious Assumption
of the Blinding Light.

Barnsdall Boy: b>

Oh, Blinding Light,
Oh, Light that blinds,
I cannot see,
Look out for me!

Barnsdall Boy:

Yes, Friends,
welcome to Pastor Flash’s our of Reckoning,
with Organ Leroy at his organ again,
and the Fifty-Voice St. Louis Aquarium Choir.

I’m Decon E. L. Mouse.
But, Dear Friends
in these days of modern time,
when you can’t tell the AC’s
from the DC’s,
well aren’t we all yearning for someone
who can turn on a little stopping power?

Dear Friends,
I mean a smokey glass
. Don’t you think
I mean a lightning rod

with which to chase these spooks away?

Don’t you know
I mean our own Pastor Rod Flash!


He’s been up for a week,


but he’s coming down!

Barnsdall Boy:

Hope you all make it, tonight or tomorrow at the Barnsdall Theater!!
