herinfernallady

I am watching an interesting interview about glass attaches in pubs. The club i used to go to used to get the rep in and throw the glass across the room. If the glass smashed into shards then it was no glass. It was great. I felt safe there knowing they did that

1:35 am

ohhhh lovely lovely icon, jilli!

bald people can't be hairdressers?????

1:56 am

jillibus

she was stupid to apply for a job she was unsuited for and then sue.

1:56 am

that's not a good reason, lots of men are hairdressers and they don't show off women's hairstyles.

1:56 am

herinfernallady

SO what they going to fire someone if they had cancer and had to shave their hair? But Jill did she have the right qualifications?

1:57 am

that's like saying poeple who don't read romance novels shouldn't sell books

1:57 am

nm, I'm not expalining it properly

1:57 am

she had been turned down by many other salons -- she was NOT qualified

1:58 am

okay, that's reasonable

1:58 am

Ok if she was not qualified then ok

1:58 am

thanks so much for all your caring remarks. I'll try not to be too stubborn about it.

2:55 am

sprite

it is crazy, lickety, and it is NOT taking good care of yourself! Please DO go and see that doctor. It cannot hurt to do so, I know you are not afraid of the doctor!

2:57 am

mrpresident

he is a Taurus... stubborn bull! I might have to hurt him before he sees a doc... sorry babblers, but it takes alot to get him to a doctor

2:57 am

sprite

hey, he just said he will try and be not too stubborn... I think he'll go :)

2:58 am

joso

back injuries are useraly known adout right away, but lickety in this uber-pratfall of yours did you hit your head al all, head injuries can be very tricky

2:58 am

mrpresident

he is standing here being stubborn... he said he will not go to the doctor :((

2:58 am

sprite

not smart of him, mrP! Let him go, just to be sure. Better be safe than sorry.

2:59 am

mrpresident

he didn't hit his head, he hit is back and his forearms

3:00 am

mrpresident

I fell on the stairs a few years back, the next day, I bent over to pick something up and my back seized... I do worry for him

3:00 am

3:01 am

ignored back injuries can lead to very tiresome back problems later in life. Call a big strong friend, mrP, and let him put lickety in a car and get him to a doctor :) I'd do it myself if I lived near.

3:01 am

mrpresident

well, let's just see how he goes now... I am going to take a photo and put it up!! you guys have to see this injury!

3:01 am

mrpresident

sprite! ((hugs)) I will make him go... I have the power!!

3:01 am

sprite

don't want to see it, want a doctor to see it :)

3:02 am

sprite

you do, mrP! I know you will use that power wisely *hug*

3:05 am

6:25 am

ch1212

6:26 am

7:13 am

amelu0218

hi aloy

7:22 am

GraceM

ah, doh. thx

7:22 am

Scrabbler

MRSA has been common in our community for 3 yrs. There is a media issue right there--creating hysteria when it is nothing new at all.

7:22 am

Mom

Hi Aloyisius

7:23 am

Aloyisius

hi ardilla.. i am lurking for lack of time to ch4 this morning.. hi Mom and Scrabbler and everyone who recently joined the fun.. (-:

7:23 am

bbnaz

rsv the same thing?

7:23 am

carleekat

i realise... but I know of patients who have sores... and with kevin coming BACK into the room with an upper respiratory thing....

7:23 am

Scrabbler

Carlee, if they are coughing like crazy it may not be a regular cold, plus they are more contagious. Best not let Kevin be exposed until he is home for good.

7:23 am

Shawnee

it took my son's school 2 weeks after the local news broke it to send info home on MRSA.

7:23 am

Scrabbler

Hi Aloy

7:24 am

Scrabbler

RSV is a respiratory virus that all kids catch by age 2-3 yrs, and it typically causes a chest "cold", with wheezing. Premies and very young infants can get quite ill.

7:24 am

LoriP

***takes a big hit of coffee, and prepares to battle re's so as to make the rest of the grid enjoyable***

7:25 am

Aloyisius

are you mostly if not all healed, Scrabbler? Hope the soreness has gone away

7:25 am

Scrabbler

CArlee, where will Kevin's PT continue? At a local site?

7:25 am

carleekat

yes..but I think is only 2ce a week which sucks BIG time..he is used to 2ce a day

7:26 am

Shawnee

I don't like ha's LoriP, I feel your pain

7:26 am

Scrabbler

I am better each day, Aloy, thanks for asking. Still with pain and last night was the first night of good sleep in a week. I have been sleeping with a heating pad for 3 nights--wish it was MAtthew McConnaughey.

7:26 am

Scrabbler

Why only twice weekly,Carlee?

7:26 am

Mom

lol Scrabbler, you can dream. :)

7:26 am

Aloyisius

7:27 am

7:27 am

Shawnee

*breaks out good chocolates for commiserating*

7:28 am

carleekat

7:28 am

Scrabbler

***digging around for the dark chocolate**

7:28 am

carleekat

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Now that makes me mad, carlee.

7:29 am

carleekat

EEEK... pass the chocolate i JUST saw the # of re's in the grid

7:29 am

Mom

7:30 am

BR...sorry..I stepped away....so is it cold in ND yet?

9:47 am

Uniquity

When you use babble expert on big grids, it lags a lot (as you may or may not have issues with) and occasionally it doesn't enter a word. I noticed today that if you follow it and when you notice it has not entereed a word to the grid itseld, then click "send to babble" right away. It will work if you do it ocasionally and it only needs to send 2 or 3 words. If you wait until the end, it usually freezes and sends none.

9:47 am

Uniquity

The moral of this story is : send words to babble occasionaly if expert is lagging. (instead of waiting til end)

9:48 am

o-o

the weather has been quite pleasant for this time of year

9:58 am

that is terrible, samantha, the poor parents

as of this morning--the police are treating it as a kidnapping, because there's "new evidence"

9:58 am

Haz1558

Bye TO.

9:58 am

SamanthaJoy

However it turns out that the "new evidence" is that SHE LOGGED ONTO HER FRIGGIN' MYSPACE ACCOUNT THIS MORNING and told some friends that she'd been kidnapped

9:59 am

Uniquity

Wow. Kidnappers allow computer use now?

10:01 am

SamanthaJoy

tell you what, all--teach your children that when they're kidnapped and get their free fiteen minutes of online computer time, the place to go is fbi.gov--but that's only if they're really kidnapped and are not, in fact, fourteen year old runaways.

10:03 am

SamanthaJoy

I just pretty much killed conversation, didn't I?

10:04 am

flosey

Sam, hearts go out to family, they must be beside themselves with worry

10:04 am

I think we are all just too busy with the grid...this is a monster and I, personally, don't have much time for it unfortunately :(

10:05 am

Haz1558

I'm just wondering about the tone of the conversation the police will have with her. I take it this is some sort of prank?

10:05 am

SamanthaJoy

I feel for them too, but for different reasons than they do right now. Very sad story.

10:05 am

jan

Actually, there was a case in Britain some time ago where a teenager went missing and she supposedly text messaged her uncle. They were able to prove through linguistic analysis of the alleged text messge that it was extremely unlikely that she had written it and that instead her uncle had written it to give him an alibi. He got convicted for her murder.

10:06 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, she claims that she was talking on the phone outside last night and that, literally, "the next thing she remembers" she woke up in a house with a strange man today.

10:06 am

Vicuna

I don't think you've lost any friends on this one, Scarlet... unless you want to disown us all!

12:01 pm

Scarlet

I have been warned: "We will NEVER forget"

12:01 pm

Merk

So he was ha something around the house and then put an s in front of it?

12:01 pm

TheFiz

eva it's only sweep-underable if the rest of us want to let it go. And i for one don't.

12:02 pm

periwinkle

too bad, Haz missed all the excitement

12:02 pm

Vicuna

It's like sea songs, with a d in the midde.

12:02 pm

Aloyisius

yes, merk.. but pl the ha part

12:02 pm

Scarlet

You are the greatest!!

12:02 pm

Atalante

Haz would have been horrified

12:02 pm

jan

Down to the last pesky re's and se's...

Aloyisius

My hubby is not that around the house so I had to think hard. My son is much more so ... different genes.

12:04 pm

Scarlet

Brutal... you are all brutal!!

12:04 pm

Vicuna

Hey, Scarlet, I dare you to repeat your performance once Haz returns, so we can all see her reaction.

12:04 pm

Merk

And I missed it, too, Scarlet. What happened?

12:05 pm

Scarlet

Even if I tried, I could not maintain that level of stupidity... or, on second thought... anything can happen and usually does!

12:05 pm

Scarlet

I was a jerk, Merk.

12:05 pm

Vicuna

No you weren't a jerk, Scarlet!!! Just silly.

12:06 pm

Aloyisius

12:14 pm

Merk

12:22 pm

12:23 pm

NonoNanette
