Hi Skittles!

Hmm, I have a sink load of dishes spot, nothing paper in it was left behind.......

Great Britain got Bronze in TKD today, great match.....have to watch it live! And my favorite USA girl got the Bronze in her weight category........and my favorite guy got bronze the other day.

chonsigirl

Yes, lots of pics! Hooray!

<t>I agree about Beach Volleyball, even the BMX style biking. The underdogs, we all love them. I can remember the field hockey match I attended in 84', it was the gold medal match. But everyone got their choice of flags and we took the little African nation who was the underdog and roote...

The Battle of Shiloh, oh a good Civil War novel by Shaara, first in a new trilogy. Glad to see some more coming, how can you ever forget the Gettysburg one and Gods and Generals?

<t>Didn't know it was over yet...not until Sunday. The amputee, why should he not run, he was great. He should not be restricted to participate only in the Paraolympics. The rules on how many to allow for each country-it varies with events. In Athletics more than one can compe...

Hope you got access, K.S. I got home in time to watch the first day of TKD and it is great.

Ghads, remember Adam West?

Oh, so darling!

It is fun to watching all the events. I really do enjoy the live coverage, it must be off the BBC. They are great announcers, better than the replays on later on in the night.

Yes, I remember her saying she was going along. It would be fun to hear from her.

I am excited the Olympics are starting tomorrow, men's soccer today to watch for. Can't wait for the Opening Ceremonies.

chonsigirl

Carla, are you there watching USA women's soccer live against France?

chonsigirl

Yes, the concept is still present today in the U.S.-just using different terminology.

I agree that they do not teach it in schools the way we learned it, pc-ing the curriculum. One of the reasons why I will not teach social studies, unless forced to.

chonsigirl

Oh my, that can be true, oscar.

You will be able to tell the American girls though, with those ugly outfits for the Opening Ceremonies.....:-3

The rain is over here, with a cool 74 degrees. We can use that rain, my yard looks pretty dry.

chonsigirl

Ah, but I liked my little grandson screaming for joy when I showed up!

And was shocked to return from 90 degree in L.A. to 68 degrees and raining here!

No one gave it to Leadbottom like he did....................................

I watched the seasons on Netflix, it was a good series.

Wait until the Olympics, there will be plenty of sports on TV then.

I don't care for tennis, but many enjoy watching it. World Cup, oh yes. Those are always good games to watch, a great final matchup is coming.

Gosh, they are so small. How did you get a family in them, to sleep at night?

I'm off to the beach in a few hours. :-6

No surfing this year, but happy to be free to just sit and read all day long. I'm taking the tablet along for net, it will make me learn how to use it. :wah:

What are you all doing for summer?

I'm just glad I got my research finished Monday at the Archives, when things like this happen they clamp down on any access to materials involving specific topics.

chonsigirl

Well, we had a big old party in Baltimore on this anniversary-tall ships were sailing off this morning after a week of festivities. Blue Angels flew overhead all week, lots of pomp and all that stuff. The little old fort still stands with what is left, and we do quite like it here.

chonsigirl

Are you going to any events, spot?

chonsigirl

Oh, he must hurt, that is a painful injury.

My knee is better, it bends about 94 degrees. Very slow going in PT, I had to return to martial arts to limber it up to that. I can now walk up the stairs correctly, but not down, that is a pain to deal with.

chonsigirl

<t>Well, I am slowly getting mobile again. Have taken up martial arts again, in a different style. Only thing that would make my knee move again, doctor told me to do it, PT did nothing to make my knee bend. But the kids don't know, they gave me a yoga mat to sit on and do exercises at a sedate pace...

I got an android tablet, and watch Netflex(off my son's account, so it is free.......). Only have cable because my husband watches it. I think it is a good decision to make, AC. I would if I could.

chonsigirl

It sounds like he needs surgery to repair it. My knee winces in sympathy for him-but surgery will help him recover and use his arm again.

chonsigirl

How many musical questions in the history category!

They showed him yesterday in Ellen, seemed like a nice kid with lots of skateboard savy.
