2:00 am

jillibus

hi MVA - you snuck in when I wasn't looking

2:01 am

MVA

hi jilli

2:02 am

sprite

hi all :)
May I ask you to think of me in an hour or so? Need to address my therapist, who (among other things) totally blew up at me last time. He had promised to contact my employer and had not done it. I said I felt like he had let me down. He got real mad, and said I had no right to feel like that (!) and that he did not agree at all that my doctor had given me antidep meds. HE felt pushed aside, he said.

2:02 am

diem

hi mari tks you would think i would know how to spell a baby eagle

2:03 am

Atalante

he felt pushed aside? poor baby

2:03 am

FranMag

wow sprite, that doesn't sound professional.

2:03 am

mari

Well you certainly know how to spot one now!!

2:03 am

jillibus

sounds as if the therapist needs a therapist

2:03 am

herinfernallady

Sprite hugs

2:04 am

GroovyKiwi

group vritual hug for sprite

2:04 am

sprite

yeah, I am thinking: I am the client, right? I don't have to consider how HE feels, right?

2:04 am

MVA

not very professional sprite!. lol jilli

2:04 am

sprite

jilli, my thoughts exactly!

2:04 am

jillibus

Right sprite

2:04 am

licketySplitAUS

oh sprite! that is shocking... your doc gave you those tablets for a reason and your therapist has no right to blow up at you... he should have conferred with your doc if he had an issue with it... tell him to FO and do his job right!

2:04 am

sprite

so... I know I have to tell him this will not work... but it is very scary for me to do so.

2:05 am

licketySplitAUS

give me his phone number...

2:05 am

sprite

lickety! That is what I want to do! If I have enough courage! Thank you :D

2:05 am

herinfernallady

Look Mr Therapist Mrs Sprite whom is a lovely lady doesnt need to hear your sh?? shes there to talk about hers. Do i need to boot you in the butt? Dont upset the Sprite From me

2:05 am

Atalante

you needn't give a *stuff* how he feels

2:05 am

sprite

LOL! Now that is tempting!

2:05 am

licketySplitAUS

no one messes with my sprite ((hugs))

2:05 am

diem

mari good luck to her i was happy to see the other side of the street

2:05 am

o-o

sprite, is there an omsbudsman at the clinic?

2:06 am

sprite

awwwwwwww you guys are the best. I feel stronger now, really, just as a result of your support. I take you all with me in my virtual support group :D

2:06 am

sprite

I do not think so, BabbleRabble... I can ask.

2:06 am

herinfernallady

Even the kitty wants to hug the sprite - she just ducked her head over to the screen

2:07 am

sprite

*hugs the kitty back gently*

2:07 am

FranMag

we will all be thinking of you sprite!

2:07 am

licketySplitAUS

give him a right royal kick up the arse from me too... compliments of the australian babble contingent

2:07 am

o-o

There has to be someone there you can talk to. if your therapist is professional he will resign

2:07 am

jillibus

sprite, hold your hand when you confront the jerk and feel that we are all holding it

2:08 am

sprite

It may sound real new age and whoozy, but I can really feel your support and it helps you will think of me. Thanks, all of you.

2:09 am

o-o

If there is no intermediary, I would ask the therapist to help you get a replacement

2:09 am

sprite

That would be great, BabbleRabble. I am afraid to tell him I stop, because it is my employer who insisted I went into therapy there. Have an appointment about lots of stupid issues next week, with my boss and his boss.

2:09 am

herinfernallady

aww we will all be there in virtual spirit

2:09 am

herinfernallady

hi lickety and everyone

2:10 am

sprite

*my boss and my boss's boss

2:10 am

Genna

hello

2:10 am

licketySplitAUS

we are all here and care about you... take a fairy wond from your daughters room and hold it as you tell him how you FEEL... it works wonders!

2:10 am

pigeonman

Fireworks. Does anyone need a clue or two before I go?

2:10 am

helenary

another thing Sprite..IF you can stand up to him as Lickety says, you will problayy fel stronger in yourself and proud that you could do something you may never have done before..i.e. take up you own authority and control. Scarey but exciting for YOU. You can still go to therapy with hime but stand up to him.

2:10 am

MVA

yay pigeon!!!

2:10 am

pigeonman

And if that doesn't work, tell him where you'll stick that fairy wand if he doesn't shape up

2:11 am

herinfernallady

Hang on sprite Is the male chicken head that said you are secretly working at home?

2:11 am

licketySplitAUS

LOL! my thoughts exactly

2:11 am

sprite

helenary, thanks, that is the reason I am telling myself I WILL do this. I say a thank you to you all from the bottom of my heart... you made me all feel stronger and less scared.

and YAY pigeonman! Well done *looks for fairy wand*

2:11 am

jillibus

I think I know how you feel, sprite -- you were brought up to be polite I think and telling him off seems rude -- ?

2:12 am

sprite

lady: yes, that is my boss, the fool.

2:12 am

sprite

oh jilli, exactly! And I was brought up by people who always said I was in the wrong, so I feel guilty whenever I tell someone I am not. Learning though :)

2:13 am

herinfernallady

Errr there for he knows that you have issues (goes to his office with my wiffle bat)

2:14 am

GroovyKiwi

ill just set my kids on him - he love to meet my logan

2:14 am

o-o

He has acted unprofessionally and merits discipline. I would call the clinic and see if there is an intermediary. if the therapist will not assist in getting a replacement, I would walk out, see the intermediary and ask for help because the therapist- client relationship has been irretrievably breached

2:14 am

sprite

:) Kiwi! *takes Logan with her too*

2:14 am

GroovyKiwi

my logan has an issue with not being able to stop talking

2:14 am

jillibus

Well, telling him off politely shows strength of character and you have plenty of that, sprite

2:15 am

helenary

this is not a question of right or wrong, but a question of your entitlement to say what you think and feel.

2:15 am

sprite

thanks BabbleRabble, that gives me some words to use too, that is exactly what I was thinking/feeling, but could not express as clearly.

2:15 am

herinfernallady

Lol im in trouble. how dare i be babbling when i should be worshiping the cat

2:15 am

GroovyKiwi

spritey if it helps write down what you want to say to him on paper, take it with you, and read from it if you get the flutters

well let's keep in mind that we ARE only hearing one side of the story. with all due respect to sprite

2:47 am

tragicstud

yes... there's an and though. the therapist shouldn't have let her leave if she was still feeling so emotional about the session

2:48 am

Atalante

ooooh a troll. yay!

2:48 am

tennisempress

hi

2:49 am

mrpresident

kier, if my therapist went off at me for starting up on meds for depression, I would be very very hurt and confused, regardless of the other side of the story... it is not right that she was so distressed and it was left like that

2:49 am

tennisempress

im tennisempress

jean1953

hello Atalante:) yes a troll on the horizon lol

2:49 am

tragicstud

therapists are actually supposed to upset their clients sometimes - it's natural, but they're supposed to take care of them when it happens

2:49 am

Atalante

ack, can nearly have crwth

2:49 am

mrpresident

hi tennis

2:50 am

jean1953

hello tennis:)

2:50 am

kierlex

mrp i am simply saying that we only know sprite's interpretation of the events. sounds like she is doing the right thing by confronting the therapist about his behavior. but who knows the whole history

2:50 am

tragicstud

its actually got potential to effect my ego how bad i am at this game

2:50 am

mrpresident

stud, what type of therapy to do you practice/reflect?

2:50 am

herinfernallady

My net just booted me

2:51 am

wb lady

2:51 am

tragicstud

bye jean

2:51 am

Atalante

but sprite's interpretation, as the client, should be the one that matters

2:51 am

mrpresident

too right kier... I just feel I know her abit cause I chat with her on the phone abit... my bad

2:51 am

kierlex

maybe therapist and sprite had discussed antidepressant use and had decided something and then sprite went to the dr and was persuaded to try something. we'll never know but it is good she is confronting him.

2:51 am

herinfernallady

Mr pres you made me laugh and the kitty jumped

2:52 am

Atalante

(therapist doesn't want her to have antideps)

2:52 am

tragicstud

i'm a social worker... so i'm broadly trained. i'm kind of objects relations and exastentialist though primariy - all with the underlying strengths perspective

2:52 am

tragicstud

(did any of that make sense?)

2:52 am

kierlex

i respect that mrp, i don't know sprite at all so i am being devil's advocate but have worked with clients who have intepretations of things that don't necessarily reflect actual events. yes their interpretation is important but it is also important to get a firm grasp on reality

2:53 am

herinfernallady

YEs it did Tragi

2:53 am

tragicstud

ty lady :)

Flashback : My son at the age of 4 was sitting at the breakfast table

4:36 am

licketySplitAUS

I give him a piece of toast

4:36 am

licketySplitAUS

He replies : "sorry - I can't eat that"

4:36 am

licketySplitAUS

"why is that?" I ask

4:36 am

licketySplitAUS

"Cause I'm black toast intolerant"

4:37 am

licketySplitAUS

True story!

ARB

SHalom MrP. How are you feeling?

4:54 am

I just had the most wonderful experience!! I took my cast off and bandages and cicacare strips and washed my broken arm.... no more scratching with a knitting needle!!

4:55 am

herinfernallady

YAH MR PRES

4:56 am

mrpresident

shhhhh, don't tell my nurses or doctor!

4:56 am

ARB

Isn't it wonderful how we can become grateful for such small things -- washing an arm. Wow

4:56 am

diem

4:56 am

mrpresident

washing an arm is heaven!!

4:56 am

herinfernallady

4:58 am

Andree

lol, lickety

4:58 am

mrpresident

oh, it was festie... the skin was so broken and flaking... I just wanted to chop it off... but this has been the difference between pure joy and eternal hell

4:58 am

mrpresident

I still have 2 month of this cast to go... hmmpp

4:58 am

herinfernallady

We dont have a watch dog we have a watch cat

4:59 am

ARB

4:59 am

mrpresident

4:59 am

Andree

2 months yuk

5:00 am

Andree

your patience must be so tried mrp

5:00 am

mrpresident

and 4 -5 month of sling... at least that is a blessing to rid the cast in 2 months

5:01 am

mrpresident

I have discovered a zen I didn't know existed... god definitely wanted to teach me something with this experience

5:01 am

ardilla

good evening all

5:01 am

ARB

I marvel at your relative equanimity.

5:01 am

Andree

hi ardilla

5:01 am

ARB

You are standing up to the test.

5:01 am

mrpresident

hi ardilla :))

5:01 am

ARB

Hi ardilla

5:02 am

mrpresident

yes arb... standing strong and proud at the moment... other moments are not so attractive

5:03 am

NonoNanette

Morning Babblers!

5:03 am

ARB

Just keep the strong and proud moments in the back of your mind for those less than good times.

5:04 am

NonoNanette

hi MrP how are you doing?

5:04 am

Andree

hi nono

5:04 am

mrpresident

hey nonon! :))

5:04 am

5:05 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres are they going to put non festy dressings on?

5:05 am

ardilla

hi nono

5:05 am

Andree

mrp, you are so brave and i feel great admiration, as a person who is active i cannot begin to imagine what this enforced inactivity must be like

5:08 am

herinfernallady

We loves the PRes

5:10 am

mrpresident

the fact is... I was the most incorrigable person... nothing I did was enough and I never stopped moving... and then WHAM!! bone tumours... down for the count with 2 babies at home.
It is just incredible what life throws at you. I have learnt to slow down and smell the roses

5:10 am

mrpresident

but I would love to be back on that horse and breaking the waves and parachuting though life without a care

5:11 am

ARB

You are teaching me a wonderful lesson.

5:11 am

NonoNanette

that is life lesson well learned, to stop and smell the roses!

5:11 am

mrpresident

but, I couldn't be happier with what I have

5:13 am

mrpresident

and that is a 'but' no one know except me.

5:13 am

herinfernallady

Stop and smell the roses

5:14 am

ARB

and make your peace with the thorns.

5:14 am

herinfernallady

thats true ARB

5:14 am

mrpresident

the thorns do not cast me doubt, for I know they are only prickly prices for the beauty we seek

5:15 am

herinfernallady

true

5:15 am

ARB

like I said - equanimity -- I fight the thorns and am too often distracted by them.

5:16 am

herinfernallady

oh poo the kitty is asleep on my head - again ^ - - ^

5:18 am

mrpresident

and we pay for beauty... believe me we do! it is undoubtable the most expensive lesson we seek... to love and be loved for who we are

5:19 am

sprite

hi all, I am back! *hugs mrP*

5:19 am

herinfernallady

i have given up with the standards of beauty these days

5:19 am

mrpresident

we are all beautiful... that I know

5:19 am

herinfernallady

HUGS SPRITE

5:19 am

ARB

HI Sprite

5:19 am

NonoNanette

hi Sprite

5:19 am

mrpresident

(((sprite))) how you going?

5:20 am

sprite

managed to stay strong in the talk with the therapist. Have decided to continue a little longer with him, in the knowledge that he is a mediocre therapist with good intentions, and I will go to him for the exercises he and his behaviour offer me.

5:21 am

herinfernallady

ok sprite

5:21 am

sprite

and not make extra waves at work... otherwise I would quit the therapy, but that would be unwise right now.

5:22 am

herinfernallady

sorry to interrupt but are the W words WE all of them please?

5:22 am

sprite

therapist admitted he tends to get personally involved. He claims it is either that or having therapy from a robot... I think there is quite a lot more professional gray in between, but he cannot offer me that.

5:23 am

mrpresident

oh sprite... a therapist is supposed to challenge you, but not leave you feeling challenged and in doubt ... I hope you are ok with this

5:24 am

ARB

I have only love and sympathy to offer -- I can't imagine how I would react in your situation.

5:24 am

sprite

no, not really mrP, but my decision rests on the fact that there are already huge problems at work. I better make no extra waves until this is settled. So to stay on the positive side: I will learn from having collisions with this therapist.

5:24 am

sprite

ARB, 'only' love and sympathy??? Those are the greatest gifts, actually. Thank you.

5:24 am

mrpresident

too true sprite... take it and leave something good behind

5:26 am

licketySplitAUS

sprite - you are such a wonderful person, if only everyone saw you for who you are.

5:26 am

Colhad

fireworks!!!

5:26 am

herinfernallady

yah cool

5:26 am

herinfernallady

Colhad YAh

5:26 am

sprite

I am so spoilt, you know... my 'other' therapist, who is not accepted by my employer, works from the heart. He is strictly professional, but love for his fellow men is his foundation. And THAT works with me. I do not mind challenges at all. But heartless challenges and unprofessional ones I do mind.

5:27 am

licketySplitAUS

colhad and others - sorry for not updating fireworks video today - I had a very busy day

5:27 am

sprite

awwwww lickety! Thank you so much for those words. It means a lot to me.

5:28 am

Colhad

ummm, 9 actually

5:28 am

sprite

lol, my husband said: realise you are a better therapist than your therapist... with his insecurity you can expect he is a bit challenged by YOU.

5:28 am

ARB

Fireworks here too

5:29 am

sprite

don't know if it is true, but it was a helluva ego booster ;)

5:29 am

6:11 am

Scrabbler

And "wo" to you, Inge. Good morning all. I hit the snooze alarm too many times and lost Babble time. I had a lousy night of sleep--it took 3 hrs to fall asleep.

6:11 am

LoriP

G'd mornung Scrabbler. Long time no see.

6:11 am

Raevyn

sorry to hear that, scrab...I am awake about 2 hours before I meant to be, myself

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I have been here daily, Lori, but have been missing you.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Tonight I am just going to pop a Benadryl and pass out.

6:12 am

LoriP

The ONLY reason I'm awake (an actual day off) is because I had to go to the bathroom, and couldn't get back to sleep. ***sigh***

6:13 am

Raevyn

ah, nvm, got the 6/24...*forehead slap*

6:13 am

Scrabbler

My bladder usually wakes me up once per night.

6:13 am

herinfernallady

Hi Scrabbler

6:13 am

LoriP

Been busy, with weird work hours Scrabbler. I actually didn't Babble 2 at all 2 days in a row, and it drove me nuts. Fatigue won out.

6:14 am

Scrabbler

I am in a post-vacation funk---sad, grumpy. Summer always flies by so fast.

6:15 am

angelinaxox

i agree

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi Miss Jolie!

6:15 am

angelinaxox

hi scrab

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Where do you live, Ange?

6:15 am

herinfernallady

Scrabbler its in the water

6:16 am

angelinaxox

new jersey

6:16 am

Scrabbler

I drink bottled water because our well water is so gross.

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Hey, my sister lives in Bergen Cty!

6:16 am

featherbee

i'm down to 53 words left! got up before the boys got awake, showered and got in some babble time

6:16 am

angelinaxox

cool that's north of me

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Very efficient, Feather!

6:17 am

featherbee

now i'm getting ready to head into the school and see about starting to unpack the classroom from the summer

6:17 am

LoriP

Good job Feather.

6:17 am

angelinaxox

what do you teach feather?

6:17 am

featherbee

lol, yeah, doug's talking to me, and i'm like "shhh! i don't have much time left!"

6:17 am

featherbee

6:18 am

herinfernallady

hey Feather

LoriP

angel is a Joysey gal. cool. :-)

6:18 am

angelinaxox

6:18 am

featherbee

very cool!

6:18 am

herinfernallady

Scrabbler have you been borrowing my water then?

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Are we drinking "Cranky Water", Lady?

6:19 am

featherbee

gotta get breakfast for kiddo #1, kiddo #2 is still asleep

6:19 am

Raevyn

not borrowing, I hope...if anyone takes my water, I don't want it back when they're through

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Kiddo #2 is easier to feed--one option and it is always ready.

6:19 am

herinfernallady

Probabbly

6:19 am

Scrabbler

True, raevyn

6:20 am

herinfernallady

Well maybe from the same case

6:20 am

featherbee

yep! he's going into school with me. much more portable and less likely to get into things while i work. i have my baby carrier to wear him, and a portable swing, so should be able to get a couple hours of work in

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that may be, Lady.

6:20 am

herinfernallady

I am trying to find insurance for my kitty

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I am going to visit my friend and baby Cooper today. He was born Aug 9th. It is her first and she needs support to get through the exhaustion.

6:21 am

angelinaxox

i haven't gone into my classroom yet. When is your first day of school?

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Coffee refill, anyone?

6:21 am

featherbee

first day with kids is wednesday after labor day, whenever that is

6:22 am

angelinaxox

my first day with kids is friday after labor day

6:22 am

herinfernallady

yes

6:22 am

featherbee

yeah, it was actually easier adjusting to #2 than #1. i already know i'm going to be tired, so just plow through it! lol

6:22 am

sprite

hi Scrabbler and everything else I missed while afk

6:22 am

herinfernallady

Does anyone think that pet insurance is a good or bad idea?

6:22 am

featherbee

ok, gotta get daniel breakfast. see you later!

6:22 am

angelinaxox

bye feather

6:23 am

Raevyn

Like pet medical insurance?

6:23 am

LoriP

Later Feather.

6:23 am

herinfernallady

yep

6:23 am

sprite

bye feather

6:24 am

Raevyn

I would imagine if your pets are older or prone to health problems, it could save you some money...otherwise probably not

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Bye Feather

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Insurance is always a gamble

6:25 am

Raevyn

but it's like any insurance...if you wait, you may need it and not have it...if you don't, you may pay for it and not use it

6:26 am

herinfernallady

True but shes only little and well if she g forbid something happened i dont think we could afford massive vet bills

6:26 am

Raevyn

personally I have always felt (and some of you may disagree and think this heartless, but...) that though I love my cats dearly, if any really major health issues came up I would likely have them put to sleep.

6:27 am

Raevyn

it would crush me to do it...but I had a friend who had a cat with liver issues; she had to give him shots and feed him by hand, basically just to extend his life a few months

6:27 am

sprite

yours trewlee... not valid :P

6:28 am

Scrabbler

I just spent almost $900 on my rabbit, and it was a tough decision, very tough.

6:28 am

LoriP

I'm with Raevyn. My stance on quality of life extends to my cats a s well.

6:28 am

Raevyn

and cats are not people; there's no way to explain to them why they have to get needles jabbed into them or other complicated stuff...to me, it seemed selfish of her to put him through that just so she could have him a few extra months.

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Rae i agree. I had a cat get hit by a car and he recovered well but it disgusts me when an operation which can save their lives with no complications costs too much and the owner destroys them

6:29 am

herinfernallady

Dang weres haz when i need her

6:29 am

Raevyn

true...it depends entirely on the issue at hand. broken bones are one thing if they're minor and can be reset...but major organ issues, that kind of thing, is different

6:29 am

sprite

if prolonging its life is making it suffer longer, I think you should not.

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Sprite.

6:30 am

LoriP

Yep .

6:30 am

herinfernallady

I agree our cat had his back end run over he was fine once they set everything. Gosh knows how much my pets cost my parents

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Well, dang, I am out of Babble time. I lost 45 min from hitting the snooze alarm several times. (Hmm, 45 min divided by 9 min=5 hits, wow.)

6:31 am

scarydeb

i have medical and public liability for all my animals. I have needed it for one of the horses and her treatment would have cost me a fortune

6:31 am

Raevyn

well if that is your experience, then maybe the peace of mind pet insurance would give you would be worth the cost :)

6:31 am

sprite

sounds very nice though, Scrabbler! Relaxed and cozy :)

6:32 am

Scrabbler

I want to return to my nest! Waaahhh!

6:32 am

LoriP

Be a big girl Scrabbler. Remember we discussed this. No more tantrums..... :-)

6:33 am

sprite

I am with Raevyn. If you know you will love your kitty so much you want the best care you can give it, providing it is in its best interest, and you are afraid you won't be able to pay for it, paying a small amount each month will give you peace of mind.

6:33 am

Scrabbler

I don't want to be a grown-up anymore. It is hard work.

6:33 am

sprite

I kinda like Scrabbler when she goes stamping and waaaahing like this :)

6:33 am

LoriP

LOL I hear that Scrabbler. ***group sigh***

6:33 am

angelinaxox

me 2 lol

6:34 am

sprite

When I grow up I wanna be a kid.

6:34 am

Scrabbler

Well, I am seeing my shrink on Friday and he and I will solve everything!

6:34 am

Raevyn

lol I agree Scrab...can we declare it National Regression Day and spend the day napping and having peanut butter & jelly?

6:35 am

Scrabbler

I often have PB & J. And stay in my pajamas all day. (And Babble all day.)

6:35 am

LoriP

PB is comfort food. Mandatory!

6:36 am

Scrabbler

OK, I must prepare for the factory. Bye all.

6:36 am

angelinaxox

bye scrab

6:36 am

sprite

I love PB, not the J though. And not getting dressed all day is a grown-up's reward!

6:36 am

herinfernallady

Ok we drive our cars with insurance whats the diff with pets. Man shes being creepy and watching me in the mirror

6:37 am

Scrabbler

Maybe you should save for an exorcism, Lady.

6:37 am

sprite

see... it is a kitty that needs a shrink soon... better get it insured ;)

6:37 am

Scrabbler

For the cat, not you, LOL.

6:37 am

LoriP

Have a great day SCrabbler, I'm pullin' for ya'.

6:37 am

sprite

*waves at Scrabbler*

6:37 am

Raevyn

I think one of my cats sees ghosts...she will put her paws up against the wall, prop herself up, and stare backward at the ceiling lol

6:37 am

herinfernallady

Its kinda cool that the cat does that but freaky

6:38 am

Scrabbler

I'll make it, Lori, with the focus being on returning to my nest tonight after getting fireworks here.

Hello, peoples

How goes it, sprite?

7:07 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babble!

7:08 am

NonoNanette

hi BR

7:08 am

periwinkle

Hi Babble Rabble

7:08 am

herinfernallady

Thanks and hi Babble

7:10 am

sprite

hi BabbleRabble!
Couldn't really get through to the therapist, and he agreed that he has issues with making things personal to him. He claims that goes with being a humanly therapist and not a robot. I think there is some more professional gray in between, but I also realise he is just a mediocre therapist who cannot do much better.
Since my employer is making trouble as it is already, I decided to practise handling things like this on this therapist and not make waves towards the work right now.

7:11 am

sprite

if it had not been the therapist my employer insisted I'd take, I would have stopped now, but I think I better let it be for now, until the work issues are settled.

7:12 am

sprite

at least I managed to stay strong and not let him talk me under the table... I stood up for myself, which is some gain, I think.

7:15 am

o-o

I am glad you stayed string. Good luck!

7:15 am

o-o

Strong, too

7:15 am

sprite

Thanks for caring, BabbleRabble.

7:17 am

lynxxx

sounds like you are taking charge Sprite - well done

7:17 am

carleekat

good day all..do we like th grid or no?

7:17 am

herinfernallady

Good for you standing up to him Sprite

7:17 am

periwinkle

I was just going to say the same thing herin

7:17 am

lynxxx

Hi BabRab and Carlee

7:17 am

sprite

I have to say, that is the feeling I was left with. That I cannot change what I cannot influence at the moment, but that I can take charge and make the choices that will benefit me most at this point.

7:18 am

sprite

hi carlee, I do so far

7:18 am

LoriP

G'd morning carlee.

7:18 am

herinfernallady

Well is this a good thing Sprite

7:18 am

o-o

Perhaps, you might suggest to the therapist you will help him through his humanly issues for $200 an hour.

7:18 am

periwinkle

have found half, bbl to find some more

7:19 am

angelinaxox

hi carlee

7:19 am

sprite

LOLLLL BabbleRabble... that is what my husband says, that I am a better therapist than my therapist anyway. If I could only help myself the way I used to help others, I would be doing much better right now, lol.

7:19 am

LoriP

Is the last te 6/18 gonna' annoy me when I find it?

7:20 am

carleekat

so..lori..thank you 's are in order

7:20 am

angelinaxox

bye peri

7:20 am

carleekat

going up to 87F here today :o)

7:20 am

angelinaxox

that is the same one i am stuck on lori

7:20 am

LoriP

'Yer welcome carlee. Sure, i have THAT kind of power....LOL

7:20 am

ch1212

morning... sprite, you might give your therapist the book "If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him" -- it's written by a therapist, and about how therapists need to remember they are more observers than guides.

7:20 am

herinfernallady

retees is a word

7:21 am

sprite

and yes, I realise in full that this therapist is not really good. He cannot stay professional and tends to make me responsible for his actions, not just mine. But I have decided I will have to learn to handle people like that better... and he will do as training object for now. Until I know how work will go, I will stay there. Just not expecting much of the therapy anymore.

7:21 am

herinfernallady

hi carlee

7:21 am

herinfernallady

ho many Te 6s are there?

7:21 am

sprite

owwwwww nice ch1212! I love the title already. Thanks *writing it down now*

***slaps forehead***

7:22 am

ch1212

A therapist gave it to me to read when I was expecting her to do all the work. She said it changed the way she practiced.

7:22 am

o-o

te 6.18 -- a tenant is a **n**r

7:22 am

LoriP

herinfernallady

thanks i am trying to help

7:23 am

carleekat

so...I am not sure I am into doing the grid today...I have 20 odd distractions...

7:24 am

sprite

he also admitted he has trouble with staying professional when clients are being "not nice". I think this man needs to go back in training, but that is not my problem. I will try to learn to interact with him, knowing that I will meet lots of others like him in 'real life' ;)

7:24 am

ch1212

sounds like a healthy perspective, sprite

7:25 am

herinfernallady

now im missing a TE6

7:25 am

angelinaxox

thanks babble, i got it

7:25 am

sprite

thanks ch1212 :)
I feel ok with how I handled this, that is the most important thing, I think. I am learning to be more mature. About time, grin.

ge4/6 is to neuter a male horse - so we+cons+ge4/6

the neuter word is usually spelt with a d on the end in this case the cross letter

1:29 pm

Jellen

Hi, Vicuna

1:29 pm

tragicstud

hello

1:29 pm

stidmama

*grin* one never knows... It would be fun to have the local school do something like Oklahoma I think -- the musicals they tend to do are based on either Disney things or are just made for younger kids. I think they could do a shorter version of some of the classics...

1:29 pm

stidmama

hello tragic one

1:30 pm

Atalante

I've never seen Oklahoma!

1:30 pm

Jellen

Hi, tragicstud

1:30 pm

Kerowyn

You're not missing much OK is one of my least favorite musicals

1:30 pm

stidmama

well come on over Atalante! it's just starting... "I've got a Beautiful Feeling" *humming to self*

1:30 pm

Vicuna

It's an absolutely dreadful musical with really excellent music.

1:30 pm

FMitch

Ata, never, not at all, inall it's technicolour glory?

1:30 pm

stidmama

well I never said the story line was great... but the MUSIC!

1:31 pm

Atalante

never ever ever!

1:31 pm

Kerowyn

even the music doesn't thrill me. *shrug* but I'm picky

1:31 pm

Jellen

The music far outdoes the story line.

1:31 pm

Kerowyn

played in too many pit orchestras

1:31 pm

stidmama

ha. Hetty's in the grid again (sort of) has anyone seen her lately? I should drop her a line...

1:32 pm

stidmama

for most musicals the music outdoes the storyline

1:33 pm

Vicuna

We actually did a really amazing production of Man of La Mancha with middle school. (Had to seriously expurgate poor Aldonza's history, but otherwise it was quite faithful.)

1:33 pm

stidmama

you know, I have never seen Man of La Mancha!

1:33 pm

FMitch

Talking of musicals did you know that there is "Jerry Springer - The musical" playing in the West End in London
The mind boggles!!!

1:33 pm

Kerowyn

that one is worth it if you see a good production

1:34 pm

tragicstud

my elementary school did joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat

1:34 pm

tragicstud

it was amazing

1:34 pm

Vicuna

It's got a story line worth watching a usical for, in my opinion.

1:34 pm

stidmama

ick. I don't like Jerry Springer

1:34 pm

Vicuna

*musical

1:34 pm

3:07 pm

coffeegirl

IT'S A PUZZLE! The CLUE is that it's a word in the puzzle! You should figure it out on your own

Sandieangel

Oh the clues are half of the fun I think.

Fmitch, the chat can be about many things, not just the passing of clues - thanks for the salts, I think I'm coming round now

3:12 pm

ren8

Well said Deeha, you Coffeegirl are really starting to infuriate me, just let us get on with the grid which we enjoy doing

3:12 pm

Sandieangel

hmmm what am I doing wrong Jellen - I'm putting the two words together and it doesn't seem to work.

3:12 pm

Atalante

I love the chat, but I dont tend to take much notice of the clues because yes, I like doing the puzzle on my own, when I can

3:12 pm

Judi

Ha! Get a clue, Sandie!!! ;-))

3:13 pm

Atalante

but i'll still clue and grab clues if necessary!

3:13 pm

greenbayladi

3:13 pm

Sandieangel

good for you Coffee Girl - wish we were all geniuses like you!

3:13 pm

ren8

thanks sandbox, finally found the re7

3:13 pm

granadan

Good for you coffee girl. However Im a sadsack without a life and if i get a chance to actually have time to DO this, I like to finish it. And with my poor so simple brain, I like to read for clues. Deal with it hun.

3:14 pm

Jellen

Sorry greenbay, got momentarily distracted.

3:14 pm

FMitch

Hmmm Arrogant and well as judgemental too.

3:14 pm

greenbayladi

thats ok

3:14 pm

coffeegirl

I'm not trying to infuriate anyone... you must be going through menopause. Control your horomones. I was just wondering how you could take pride in finishing when you didn't finish yourself... that's all.

3:14 pm

Deeha

wahtever

3:14 pm

Jellen

te8= te*** (to rib or taunt) + ru*** (measuring stick)

3:15 pm

Judi

u.n.b.e.l.i.e.v.a.b.l.e.

3:15 pm

granadan

LOLs - one helluva an early menopause. Im 33 with more of alife than to worry about how others spend their time doing it!

3:15 pm

EspritdJean

Let's all break into a chorus of "Kumbaya" in 3 part harmony

3:15 pm

Atalante

so what is your secret, coffeegirl? cos you're the only person in the world that can finish on their own. I'm intrigued

3:15 pm

granadan

Ta Jellen that one has been bugging me

3:15 pm

ren8

I am most certainly not going through the menopause and I wish you would now go away and live that life you were on about

3:15 pm

Sandieangel

You got it Coffee I am a menopausal woman - but a calm one with a sense of humour.

3:16 pm

Jellen

I'm a collaborative person. I enjoy working with other to complete the grid and take pride in it. I'd like everyone to succeed as much as possible.

3:16 pm

Karys

Good heavens.....whatever is the matter with the girl....has someone stepped on her toe ?

3:17 pm

Sandieangel

4:30 pm

sandbox74

g'nite Sandie

4:30 pm

hurshy

they replied to the effect that they knew that sometimes "it's" was short for it is, so they could see where i could be confused, but in this case it was a possessive

4:30 pm

FranMag

night sandie!

4:30 pm

meliae

nini Sandi

4:30 pm

Jellen

Bye, Sandie

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

FranMag

ROFL!

4:30 pm

Vicuna

Goodbye , sandie

4:31 pm

hurshy

i asked her to kindly pass along the message that i knew it was a possessive, thank you very much, and that the possessive has no apostrophe, and that they were welcome to check a style manual if they did not believe me.

4:31 pm

meliae

lol Hurxhy good for you

4:32 pm

Vicuna

The writers of spell-check are now the de facto arbiters of correct spelling and grammar -- whether or not they are correct. And in places where spell-check doesn't call it wrong...

4:32 pm

jillibus

Hi all from the library - Hurshy, that is not amusing!!! It's horrifying

4:32 pm

majmom

ge5/14 anyone?

4:32 pm

hurshy

hey, i never said it was an amusing story, i said it was an ANNOYING story

4:33 pm

FranMag

so, is it fixed yet hursh?

4:33 pm

meliae

well I am glad that someone corrected them stuff like that annoys the heck out of me

4:33 pm

Jellen

ge* (hair product) + double vowel

4:33 pm

Vicuna

majmom, 4:29

4:34 pm

hurshy

this just happened this morning and they are currently working on making our site available in various languages, so, no, i would not expect it to have been fixed yet, and wouldn't know, as i am not supposed to upload photos until that work is complete.

4:34 pm

majmom

tx jellen

4:35 pm

jillibus

Hursh, I didn't thik you meant it to be amusing!

4:35 pm

FranMag

in the meantime, it's going to annoy you.

4:35 pm

hurshy

well it was already annoying me, fran :) oh, ok jilli :)

4:35 pm

magzel

ey 6 please

4:35 pm

jillibus

To me it would be like a chalk-scrape on a blackboard

4:35 pm

Vicuna

Admittedly, it is sort of stupid that the possessive does not have the apostrophe...

4:35 pm

meliae

arrrrrrgh I am done with the top I have no chioce but to work on the RE words, lol

4:36 pm

FranMag

i was laughing at the suggestion that hurshy was confused!

4:36 pm

Jellen

ey6= shoelace hole

4:36 pm

hurshy

it's true, vi, i remember thinking that as a kid... but since that IS the rule, well, it should be followed.

4:36 pm

featherbee

it would bug the heck out of me for sure!

4:37 pm

meliae

I think my worse pet peeve is people who use, the words to, too, and two incorrectly

4:37 pm

featherbee

i always think of it like his and hers, its, no apostophe

4:37 pm

granadan

their there and they're is mine

4:37 pm

Vicuna

And the other pronouns don't have apostrophes, so it's more consistent than it seems... Ahh, how I do love English! =)

4:37 pm

jillibus

Maybe you should give them a copy of Eats Shoots and Leaves.

4:38 pm

hurshy

they don't know me, of course, but still, it was rather insulting

4:38 pm

jillibus

how about your and you're?

well I think we are above average intellignece here, at least on most days we are, rofl

4:40 pm

Vicuna

However, take comfort in the fact that people have been decrying the decline of proper English for the past 500 years, ever since they decided there was such a thing as proper English in the first place.

4:40 pm

hurshy

Isn't Google wonderful.

4:52 pm

sandbox74

Mensa was latin for table... the goals were.. (accdg. to Wikipedia) to create a non-political society free from all social distinctions (racial, religious, etc.) The society welcomes all people, regardless of background, whose IQs meet the criteria, with the objective of members enjoying each other's company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities.

4:52 pm

hurshy

it's latin for "table"

4:52 pm

sandbox74

in other words... so that geeks could schmooze.. lol

4:53 pm

FranMag

ooh, you guys beat me

4:53 pm

featherbee

free from all social distinctions? well, all but brain power apparently!

4:53 pm

Vicuna

No, not geeks, just people who score well on IQ tests.

4:53 pm

hurshy

brain power wasn't considered a social distinction back then, i think

4:53 pm

Vicuna

No, not brain power, just people who score well on IQ tests. lol

4:53 pm

sandbox74

I stand corrected *grin*

jillibus

How's this for getting things in perspective? I'm privileged to have an 86-year-old WW2 heroine as a friend. She is Dutch - one of those people who secretly helped pilots get back to England. Her late husband pretended to be an SS officer but was eventually caught and put in a concentration camp, but survived. She is also an artist, photographer, brilliant duplicate bridge player and teacher, and avid reader of important books. She suddenly went blind two days ago and can only distinguish light from dark. When I spoke to her on the phone today she said "Oh, it's just another challenge." And if I know this wonderful lady, she will meet it and defeat it.

10:45 pm

herinfernallady

Hopefully the government will release 2 years of rehab and my brain is still broken will give me disability pension
