Hi Daryl!
BM>I agree on the PITA -- we've been briefly discussing the possibility
BM>(probability?) of moving because of various age-related issues we are
BM>starting to get. I'm thinking most of the ambulatory issues can be
BM>bypassed with a pair of stair-seat things for the stairs.
DS> My aunt and uncle in the Nashville area are in their eighties
DS> and poor health. They are looking at trying to get a smaller
DS> place for themselves...as what they have (including a large yard)
DS> is too big to cake care of.
Two tiered? <g> (That's supposed to be a pun on your 'cake' typo and
the words 'too tired'.)
A problem with moving is, well, moving. Too much too move, too much to
downsize. If necessary it would be done, of course, just.... <shudder!>
BM>As for your moving, your mother will probably be happy to have you
BM>around again -- company and someone to take care of -- plus you can keep
BM>a closer eye on here. Of course the downside is now you have to wait
BM>until she leaves the house for an evening with her girlfriends for you
BM>to invite your friends over to par-tay! <gg>
DS> I was never the partying kind, so that's not a concern. I'm
DS> usually doing ham radio traffic nets in the evenings,
DS> anyway...with the way crime is in some areas, it's not worth
DS> going out at night.
When Dad's office was built on to the house the office's music was from
the house. He and I did that wiring (him assisting me!) we installed a 'bypass'
so his tape deck or another radio could be plugged in in the
office and the house amp could be used by me. The closest that ever
came to being used was while in college I had a friend over to do a
music assignment and we needed to analyze a selection on a record.
As for going out at night -- too much work, too expensive, too
exhausting! Happens we did go out last night to the 'store closing
party' (the store we both retired from a few years back had been closed
by Corporate and officially turned over to the Mall yesterday); fun to
see the old crew, but noisy and expensive. Prices are in-line, just
what I spent on the drinks and meals for the two of us was equivalent to
most of a week's worth of groceries. (Not pulling from the grocery
account to pay the restaurant bill, just using as a comparison.)
BM> DS> I saw Heat Advisories in New England, and earlier today, there
BM> DS> was a Tornado Warning in Maine.
BM>Which is rather unusual for Maine.
DS> Even though they've had tornadoes in all 50 states, areas,
DS> tornadoes aren't as common in some areas as in others.
Right. I remember when I was living with my parents Dad saying after a
storm a tornado had pretty much gone down the center of a street a few
blocks from the house. That's sort of amazing, but also this
particular street is diagonal to every other street.
BM>All that spouting of lava was just because she was thirsty?!
DS> Volcanoes have a gender now?? <G>
I thought all of the Polynesian ones were female.
Who is the goddess of volcanoes?
Goddess Pele Origins. The Hawaiian (Polynesian) goddess of the volcano,
she was born in Honua-Mea, part of Tahiti. One of a family of six
daughters and seven sons born to Haumea (a very ancient Earth goddess)
and Kane Milohai (creator of the sky, earth and upper heavens).Aug 22,
2016
Pele, Hawaii Goddess of Fire: Hawaiian Legend ? Mythical Realm
mythicalrealm.com/mythical-gods-legends/pele-goddess-of-fire-hawaii/
And a little further reading:
Greek mythology. Hephaestus, god of blacksmiths, crafting, fire, and
volcanoes. Hestia, goddess of the hearth and its fires.
BM>I uploaded an article on one of the local television meteorologists was
BM>going to have a debate/discussion with an older local farmer re: the
BM>upcoming winter conditions. Supposed to be on the station's Facebook
BM>page; hopefully they'll repost on their webpage. (I don't have a
BM>Facebook account.)
DS> I saw that, and saved it, to look at later.
I need to take a look; the spot they had on the news looked more like a
man-cave beer-talk: the meteorologist and the farmer verbally slapping
each other on the back with comments like (M.) the forcasts have
improved: the accuracy of the three-day forecast years ago is now that
for a five day, and (F.) yeah-but we need to know for sure it's not
going to rain: if you say it's not going to rain in a six day period and
we cut the hay, plan to let it dry for a week and then [harvest] it and
it rains [our plans are screwed up].
