1:11 am

squiggly

ok ill try..

1:11 am

stidmama

LOL squiggly, we have many "shorthand" things, but most of them are not too hard (I for one am not good at the complicated stuff)

1:11 am

chic

Woulfie! how are you?

1:11 am

stidmama

if something confuses you, just ask! we are happy to explain.

1:11 am

renfield

hey wolf!!!

1:11 am

squiggly

lol ok

1:12 am

stidmama

well I suppose working more is better than working less? are you at least well? many babblers and others have been felled this week by that flu

1:12 am

GreyWoulf

Hi Min -- doing alright -- got a promotion at work -- more responsibility, more people demanding my time -- same hourly pay -- at least I am part of the incentive program now

1:12 am

GreyWoulf

Hi chic and ren {{**HUGS**}}

Congratulations on your promotion GreyWoulf! YAY!

great thanks min, and good to have you back

1:13 am

flosey

we were worried

1:13 am

GreyWoulf

Thankfully, we are all healthy here, stid -- though that may change soon -- a lot of people at work were sick this past week

1:13 am

GroovyKiwi

squiggy that means that the word has a seven letter and an eight letter combination

1:13 am

stidmama

okay, that means a word has two forms, a short one (7 letters) and a long (8) -- usually something like that will be a plural or past tense

1:13 am

squiggly

Oh, thanks!

1:13 am

stidmama

*tosses bottle of echinacea at woulf*

Goodbye Kazozz! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!

1:17 am

squiggly

Oh, thats cool. It just seemed like i was kinda young.

1:17 am

GreyWoulf

no age limit, squiggly, we don't usually ask -- babble is universal across all ages, races, creeds and other social delineators :-)

1:17 am

stidmama

my children play occasionally, and some regular players are under 13

1:17 am

stidmama

yeah, as woulf proves, even being a dog isn't a barrier! *grin*

1:17 am

jillibus

and then there's ancient me

1:18 am

squiggly

Huh. Okay. Thats awesome

1:18 am

renfield

except trolls - and they get roasted

1:18 am

Just1Mar

something to be exceptionally proud of jilli!

1:18 am

stidmama

pshaw! jill likes to think she's old...

1:18 am

GreyWoulf

that's cos trolls are the antithesis of social

1:19 am

jillibus

no I don't! I refuse to get old!

1:19 am

stidmama

and sometimes regulars do trollish things...

1:19 am

GroovyKiwi

1:23 am

renfield

jilli did stid

1:23 am

jillibus

Yes, stid

1:23 am

stidmama

the z words are really "nothing" to crow about I suppose...

1:23 am

GreyWoulf

there is 'nothing' to them jilli ;-)

1:23 am

Just1Mar

lol was just gonna say something like that stid!!

1:23 am

GreyWoulf

1:27 am

jillibus

1:27 am

stidmama

WOW that is a lot of money ren... not that it will pay for everything, but at least it will help

1:28 am

GreyWoulf

Will continue to send positive energies your way, ren -- in all venues :-)

1:28 am

squiggly

how do you ask people to be friends?

1:28 am

jillibus

squigs, there's a Babblers group on Goodreads

1:28 am

stidmama

you don't have to ask squiggly -- in the "who's online" section just click next to the person's name

1:28 am

GreyWoulf

Who writes them, squig?

1:28 am

stidmama

also some babblers on facebook (if you're old enough to have an account there)

1:29 am

squiggly

Stephanie Meyer

1:29 am

squiggly

is the author

1:29 am

renfield

it is a lot of money - personally - i just want the old mezzie back and the ability to take out evening walks

1:30 am

jillibus

maybe the money will help, ren?

1:30 am

stidmama

found them online. they are intriguing, squiggly. I will have to see if our library has them

1:30 am

squiggly

oh and thanks stidmama

1:30 am

stidmama

{{{ren}}} this has been so hard on both of you.

1:31 am

renfield

i think a new knee will help - we need to buy a new house or build a new house so he can get in and out of it - this place is very old and has front and rear steps to climb to the porches

1:31 am

squiggly

you should! they are about vampires and kinda sound lame, but they totally arn't!

1:31 am

GreyWoulf

I will add them to my list of books to check out as well, squig

1:31 am

stidmama

oh, yes, steps are hard on joints. That's partly why our home is all one level. easier for me to navigate when my legs hurt

1:32 am

squiggly

ok! =D

1:32 am

stidmama

but I have to admit, ren, that I really love the look (and feel) of a multi-story dwelling. Something really comforting about them.

1:33 am

renfield

it is stid - and we have it full of antiques and we call it our 221b baker street house

1:34 am

jillibus

I like one floor -- grew up in apartments

1:34 am

GreyWoulf

We are hoping to be getting a house within the next two years, and the only requirement my daughter has it that it must have an upstairs cos she and her brother loving going up and down

1:34 am

stidmama

what fun, ren! I love antiques, but lack the patience and discipline to properly care for delicate things.

1:34 am

squiggly

Ill be right back everyone....

1:34 am

renfield

our chandelier is down to one bulb now - we have to hire soemone to come in and change the bulbs

1:35 am

renfield

good going wolf! that will be nice

1:35 am

stidmama

LOL and what does Mrs Woulf say about that? does she want to trudge up and down stairs?

1:36 am

squiggly

ok im back.

1:36 am

GreyWoulf

All she wants is someplace that is ours with enough room for us all to live without being on top of each other

1:36 am

renfield

ok sweet peas - my cats are herding me to the bed - see you all later!

GreyWoulf

nitey nite, ren

1:38 am

squiggly

oh! G'Night ren

1:38 am

stidmama

yes, that office of mine was a requirement. Also the separate bathroom for the boys. And a BIG yard. Actually, the yard was first, then bathrooms, then my space. LOL

1:38 am

stidmama

gotta have one's priorities!

1:39 am

jillibus

stid's space isn't big enough, lol!

1:39 am

squiggly

Man, im getting addicted to this...is that a bad thing?

1:39 am

GreyWoulf

the yard is a necessity as well, it doesn't have to be too big -- just enough to provide a buffer zone from the neighbors and give the kids a safe zone for playing

1:40 am

GroovyKiwi

no squiggy its a normal thing lol

1:40 am

jillibus

we're all addicts, squiggly!

1:40 am

GreyWoulf

no, squig -- it means you belong here!

1:40 am

flosey

1:40 am

stidmama

stidmama

hey ursh!

1:46 am

witchy

Hi ursh

1:46 am

squiggly

aw thanks. stidmama

1:46 am

GreyWoulf

I love PKD because his primary themes were attempting to define reality objectively and attempting to define what makes us human objectively

1:46 am

stidmama

I am one, so is ren -- and jill, among others. we occasionally have pirate battles in the chat log.

1:47 am

GreyWoulf

Arrrr!!

1:47 am

jillibus

Woulf, that's real SF --Speculative Fiction, not "sci-fi", a term I hate.

1:47 am

stidmama

I am not sure that objectivity is possible really -- the observer IS the observed, and don't we change the fundamental experiment by our mere attention?

1:48 am

jillibus

stid, you put Marshall McLuhan to shame!

2:03 am

herinfernallady

GRey. Missed you too. Sorry i face planted the couch and slept for 3 hours

2:03 am

stidmama

you get a flag from paying for the game, squiggly. If you have already done that, go to the "my account" settings and choose your country.

2:03 am

flosey

hi there herin

2:03 am

hi herin

2:04 am

squiggly

i didnt pay for the game though.

2:05 am

stidmama

all the right letters are in the grid for eczema... just not close enough!

2:05 am

squiggly

i just founf a random website called stumble upon

2:05 am

ChrissieDee

herin, such a graphic phrase I haven't heard before - I face plant my couch all the time!

2:05 am

GroovyKiwi

squiggly you pay for the extras only

2:05 am

stidmama

stumble upon is a fun time-waster!

2:05 am

squiggly

i found it on a random website by using stumble upon*

2:05 am

jillibus

squigs, you get a two week free trial period. After that you don't get to see the tiles or how many words there are.

2:05 am

herinfernallady

Squiggly we didn't pay for nothing. We get a flag, a pic, a profile and the tile stats which are really handy but they go away after 2 weeks (i think)

2:05 am

squiggly

i know!

2:06 am

squiggly

*confused*

2:06 am

herinfernallady

Hi Chrissie. I told my b.f to get me up and about in 15 min (so i could finish the last grid) but he let me sleep.

2:06 am

lynxxx

Hi Infernal

2:06 am

stidmama

stats are "free" for two weeks, then available only for people who paid the one-time fee.

2:06 am

herinfernallady

Squiggly no dramas enjoy the game.

2:06 am

herinfernallady

Hi lynxx

2:06 am

stidmama

the flag/profile/pic are just fun extras

2:07 am

squiggly

ooOooOOoooOOOhhh.

2:07 am

lynxxx

Sqiggly - just play for 2 weeks. If you are still playing, then go pro

2:07 am

lynxxx

Hi Infernal

2:07 am

ChrissieDee

never mind herin, another day another grid :-)

2:07 am

squiggly

after 2 weeks i can play without paying?

2:07 am

stidmama

I agree with lynxxx's advice...

2:07 am

squiggly

cant*

2:07 am

herinfernallady

Yes you can Squiggly.

2:08 am

ChrissieDee

a Babble day that is

2:08 am

squiggly

oh...

2:08 am

stidmama

YES! you can continue to play, it's just a bit harder without the stat boxes

2:08 am

lynxxx

Yes Sqiggly - just lose stats, but some people are happy with that

2:08 am

herinfernallady

Chrissie the other reason is that i wanted to sleep tonight

hydra

Tell me now. Do I go to the gym, or do I remain a falt slob in front of Babble?

5:34 am

MLFAN17

hm i thought i tried that and it didnt go through but ti did now ty

5:35 am

sprite

you could do some stretching between words, behind the keyboard, hydra?

5:35 am

lynxxx

Hydra - get half way and then go to gym

5:35 am

nDanLia

seems like a no-brainer

5:35 am

hydra

It's surprising how often that happens, MLFAN. Yes, you're right, sprite. But what about my legs and my fat derriere?

5:36 am

hydra

I know. I could sit on my Pilates ball and bounce up and down. Boiiiiing!

5:36 am

sprite

you look perfectly fine to me, hydra

5:36 am

MLFAN17

hydra it happens a lot but i guess we dont realize that often sometimes

5:38 am

hydra

It's infuriating though. You try it, it doesn't go in, you puzzle for ages, ask for a clue and darn it, it's that very same word and this time it DOES go in! I think there's a little Babble gremlin that sneaks in and stops the words going in.

5:38 am

MLFAN17

got an sn6 and 7

5:38 am

sprite

it is usually a typo you don't realise you make.

5:38 am

MLFAN17

hydra i completely agree lol

5:38 am

o-o

it is resistentialism really

5:38 am

hydra

You're probably right, sprite, but I like the idea of the gremlin.

5:39 am

MLFAN17

trust me sprite i have put in exact words the way they should be spelled and until they are clued they dont go in

5:39 am

sprite

owwww beautiful word, BabbleRabble, and it could happen in a grid!

5:39 am

sprite

lol hydra, I agree. Gremlins are behind almost everything.

5:40 am

MLFAN17

co 6 and 7 woohoo

5:40 am

sprite

he biggies for valiants and drugs

5:40 am

hydra

If infernal was here, I think she'd have a view on gremlins.

5:41 am

hydra

The lure of the gum torture has won. See ya l8r!

5:41 am

sprite

oh yes, she would indeed, hydra. They have been pe4ering her for ages.

5:41 am

o-o

gremlins got good gas mileage

5:41 am

lynxxx

bye Hydra

5:41 am

sprite

enjoy, hydra

5:41 am

sprite

why is that, BabbleRabble?

5:42 am

5:49 am

sprite

lol... threatening my kids that I will solve their quarrel if they don't seems to be working like a charm

5:49 am

redturtlehead

Lynxx, I always thought the french with was avec, there is no v in the grid??

5:50 am

sprite

red: th5 is another 'with'. Like in ch4 nous.

5:50 am

MLFAN17

i never know if he 5/12 is supposed to have another vowel in it or not as in so many things it works both ways

5:50 am

lynxxx

8:10 am

Jacula

Taken from the English to American dictionary: "slapper n person on the prowl for anything they can get. Anything. The word is applied more often to females, arguably because it is a built-in function of blokes and doesn't deserve a separate word. "Slappers" wander around the dance floor looking for the drunkest blokes and then, when they've found them, woo them by dancing backwards into them "accidentally". The are invariably spotted at the end of an evening telling the bouncer how lonely they are and trying to sit on his knee."

8:36 am

Scrabbler

I remember the beginning for me too--I couldn't get enough. Now it is my daily refuge---first thing in the morning, every evening, and sometimes afternoons. You have to adjust your priorities and to-do lists.

Hursh, blood thinner is warfarin / trade name coumadin or "Rough on Rats"

9:50 am

Scrabbler

LOL, Ankh

9:50 am

hurshy

donworry i won't give it to any kids

9:50 am

Ankhorite

Really! :) Also D-Con

9:50 am

Scrabbler

And it is rough on kids, cats and dogs that eat it too.

9:50 am

hurshy

i did know bout coumadin but i thought there might be more blood thinners

9:50 am

Ankhorite

Scrabbler, are there more besides warfarin?

9:51 am

hurshy

an i will keep my kitties far far away from it

9:51 am

Scrabbler

Lovenox and heparin

9:51 am

Ankhorite

I won't use D-Con because I know how that kind of death feels. It's too cruel. I use Rat Zapper, ratzapper.com

9:51 am

hurshy

you know how death feels???? are you spock?

9:51 am

Ankhorite

Oh, of course. Doc, never everlet a patient shoot lovenox into their butt. They won't be able to sit for weeks.

9:52 am

Scrabbler

I must cut this pharmacology class short and get ready.

9:52 am

Ankhorite

I know how internal bleeding feels, Hursh. It doesn't sound like it hurts, right? Whoa-ho, WRONG. It hurts.

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Yes, after my operations I had Lovenox in my thighs and those bruises/lumps lasted many weeks.

9:52 am

hurshy

goodness me

9:52 am

Ankhorite

Yep! Now shoo! Make us proud!

Ankhorite

Who am I kidding, I have 148 words left... grumble... still need to find a new range online... lowes.com.... OH PAM, yes, it works perfectly.

9:56 am

Ankhorite

AND my hubby says they all die with little smiles on their faces (he's kidding, I think) but seriously, no sign of pain or fear.

9:56 am

hurshy

there is an element in the grid, and there is a birdie we don't often have, and there is a poetic foot. very very nice.

9:57 am

Ankhorite

Rat Zapper should hire me to sing their praises. Regular traps weren't working at all; catching feet and tails, too cruel, can't deal with that.

9:57 am

pam

I will look into it, ankh as recent construction in the 'hood has gotten us a mice issue, and the cat is old..

9:57 am

pam

regular traps are not working...

9:58 am

Ankhorite

It was 40 bucks, and that made me hesitate. No more! No hesitation at all! Will kill mice, rats, chipmunks. Not cats, not squirrels.

i tried to use a small hamster cage to catch some mouses in an apartment i lived in, so that the cats would not torture them. i put mouse treats like peanut butter inside and rigged a sting attached to the treat to shut the door, but the mouses were too clever and got the treats and got away

9:58 am

Ankhorite

Well, maybe an eeeeeny teeeny kitten if smaller than a squirrel. Works inside, works outside, but outside you must keep it sheltered from rain. Aixoise, is that the Notorious Couch?

9:58 am

pam

thanks much, ankh... the price will be nothing compared to the aggravation...

9:59 am

evanonut

mouses?

9:59 am

Ankhorite

Hurshy, yes, mice are smart like that.

9:59 am

Ankhorite

Meese, evano. :)

9:59 am

Ankhorite

You'll be so glad, Pam. And it doesn't chew through batteries.

9:59 am

hurshy

well, you know, mouses has a fuller, pleasanter, and cuter sound than mice

10:00 am

Ankhorite

Although, if you want it as a permanent setup in a garage or warehouse, you CAN get the kind with a plug instead of batteries. But the batter usage has been moderate to minimal.

10:00 am

Ankhorite

batterY. Not batter. We aren't having deep-fried mice, I swear.

10:01 am

hurshy

rats.

10:01 am

Ankhorite

No, not year of the rats, either.

10:02 am

no i meant, rats, my mouth was getting all watered for deep-fried mouse-kabobs

12:47 pm

ch1212

WOW. I'm sorry, ank. I like to think we've come a long ways from those days, but of course many people still think it's okay to persecute others for believing differently.

12:47 pm

joanne0334

huh ch that's the world and it sucks

12:47 pm

ch1212

Or worse, persecute others because they simply look different.

12:48 pm

joanne0334

looking different is a far cry from beliefs

12:48 pm

Ankhorite

Thank you. Gramma Ann's petition is the saddest thing in the world to read; the neighbor who testified against her had been flogged for perjury just the year before. I think he owed her money and this was a way of getting rid of her.

12:48 pm

joanne0334

a whole country different

12:48 pm

ch1212

But then there are many, many people who don't do that, and I have met several of them on this website!

12:49 pm

2:26 pm

Angelsong

my daughter needed us to babysit because she is ill with a cold or flu. But her husband is using drugs again, and she had to ask him to leave until he is clean. And my three year old grandson is convinced Dad is not home because Dad hates the 3 year old.

2:27 pm

Ankhorite

Oh... (((Angel)))

2:27 pm

Minveryork

Oh how sad Angelsong! Hope you can explain it to her

2:27 pm

Ankhorite

Hiya, Minver, just saw you, sorry to be slow

2:27 pm

periwinkle

(((((Angel)))))

2:27 pm

rururocks

se 6/18 either one?

2:27 pm

Minveryork

Oh how sad Angelsong! Hope you can explain it to him

2:27 pm

Angelsong

it really does upset me. I am so angry with my son in law...and my heart breaks for my daughter and her sons.

2:28 pm

autumn moon

Angel - cyber hug for you (the best I can do for you). Hope you can find the words to explain it in a way the 3yrold can understand.

2:28 pm

Minveryork

I know all about being slow. Been hobbling around too

2:28 pm

Ankhorite

All you can say to a baby that size is that Daddy loves him but Daddy is sick right now and needs to stay away...

2:29 pm

gwenski

Good advice, Ank.

2:29 pm

mymuseisme

((((Angel)))), hopefully he'll get his act together and your grandson will , exactly what Ankh is saying

2:29 pm

Ankhorite

Maybe say "really" sick so grandsons don't get scared every time a person catches cold.

2:29 pm

Minveryork

se6/18 is most se 4/4 or adds cross letter to se 5/10

2:30 pm

Angelsong

we have told him that. but he still internalizes it. all children his age think everything that happens is their fault.

2:30 pm

rururocks

thanks min

2:30 pm

gwenski

Jumping out for a while (but not to watch the race). Bye all.

2:30 pm

Ankhorite

Well, yes, but he won't be this age for long, so just keep saying. Be consistent.

2:30 pm

rururocks

next se 6.18?

2:30 pm

nDanLia

se 6/18 se + relax & doze is to ****; se 6/18 se + flower for dearest w/ 1st vowel at end

2:30 pm

speedfreak

Angel: If there is a drug/alcohol rehab place nearby they have professionals who help families and young children understand please look into that (lots of time free counseling)

2:30 pm

2:32 pm

Angelsong

I'm going to find some help for them. I may call my son in law's probation officer also.

2:33 pm

Ankhorite

Angel, this is horrible for all of you. I'm so sorry. Umm, why call probation? Could have consequences you really don't want.

2:33 pm

Minveryork

se6/18 is most se 4/4 or adds cross letter to se 5/10

2:33 pm

nDanLia

se 7 take 2nd se 6 & put back the flower ending on the end

2:33 pm

Ankhorite

If he has job insurance for rehab, and loses his job, he loses his shot at rehab, right?

2:34 pm

Angelsong

I don't know about that, but he has to be stopped before he kills himself. He's using methamphetamine.

2:35 pm

Ankhorite

Well, a probation officer is not going to be as helpful as EMS (emergency medical services)

2:35 pm

nDanLia

se 7 take 2nd se 6 18 & put back the flower ending on the end

2:36 pm

Ankhorite

DanLia, that's not working for me at all, I'm having a stupidfit here.

2:36 pm

Angelsong

he can decline services from EMS, and they can't force him to get help.

2:36 pm

lynxxx

Hi Ankh - a latin end for the 7

2:37 pm

THanks Scarlet that is what i needed

4:09 pm

Scarlet

Yea for Lady and hi! :-)

4:09 pm

periwinkle

Scarlet, I took my sister to brunch to a new place. She loved it and so did I.

4:10 pm

Scarlet

Did you have a wonderful meal, peri? Let me hear your menu, please!

4:11 pm

periwinkle

Yes we both did. It was a buffet. They had waffles, pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausages. scrambled eggs, omelets, croissants, bagels.

4:11 pm

Scarlet

Ohhhhhhhhh.... what do you pick first? LOL

4:11 pm

Judi

Evening, all. Whoa! Carbonanza!

4:11 pm

periwinkle

and hand sliced roast beef, turkey and ham. Shrimp salad, potato salad, grilled veggies.

4:12 pm

Scarlet

Meat... now you're talking my language!! LOL

4:12 pm

herinfernallady

Oh Peri that sounds yum

4:12 pm

periwinkle

fresh fruit, cupcakes and cookies and other cakes

4:12 pm

herinfernallady

HI Judi

4:12 pm

pam

sounds gvreat, peri

4:12 pm

Scarlet

Hi Judi!

4:12 pm

periwinkle

and also salmon (not lox) which was delicious.

4:12 pm

periwinkle

I had a Mimosa first!!

4:12 pm

Krista

hi folks..how is everyone? (eating lo mein while Babbling isn't that easy...)

4:12 pm

Judi

Oh, Peri... you wicked wicked woman.

4:13 pm

Scarlet

I would have put on 10 pounds with a selection like that... you sound EXACTLY like my sister, peri... she always heads for the Mimosas first too... LOL

4:13 pm

Scarlet

Hi there, Krista

4:13 pm

periwinkle

I had the omelet after that. I was so glad that she enjoyed it, it being her birthday today.

4:13 pm

pam

I love smoked salmon, lox, and regular salmon at brunch!

4:13 pm

Scarlet

Hi, pam... me too! :-)

4:14 pm

periwinkle

Unfortunately they will only be having the buffet for another week, then they are going to ala carte which will be more money for the customer. Glad we were able to go today.

4:14 pm

Scarlet

What a nice experience... you were lucky... and it sounds absolutely wonderful!

4:15 pm

Judi

Hope you brought your plastic zip bags to the buffet . Just kidding. My MIL does this every time we go to a buffet. We just all cringe in mortification.

4:15 pm

periwinkle

It is always a little scary going to a new place

4:15 pm

herinfernallady

food yes that sounds like a plan

4:15 pm

Scarlet

OMG... horrible, Judi...

4:15 pm

herinfernallady

Judi that is cringe worthy

4:15 pm

Krista

Judi, is she sneaky about it, or brazen?

4:15 pm

periwinkle

no plastic bags here :-). I used to know someone that did that and it was mortifying then too

4:16 pm

Scarlet

There is no justifiable excuse to do such a thing in this country...

4:16 pm

Judi

Yes. That is only before the plastic bag stuffing is preceded by the statement, "make sure the waiter/waitress isn't looking".

4:16 pm

Scarlet

Worser and worser...

4:17 pm

pam

That steams me.... I would not eat with someone who did that...

4:17 pm

herinfernallady

OH good lordie

4:17 pm

Judi

Well, MIL is 85 years old, so we just kind of grit our teeth and look away.

4:17 pm

Krista

I wondering which is worse...that, or my father..who likes to "get his money's worth!" I guess the stealing is worse.

4:17 pm

Scarlet

What else can you do, Judi... she'll never change and she won't get busted even if they do know what she is doing...

4:18 pm

Scarlet

Then she is old enough to have lived through the Great Depression... old habits die hard.

4:18 pm

Krista

i tell my dad he should just cut out the midldle man and pull his chair up the buffet...yes, so did my dad

4:18 pm

pam

oh, that makes sense, judi...

4:18 pm

Judi

I know, Scarlet. Can't imagine her getting the bums rush. Although, I would understand if they ever asked her to leave (sans bag, of course).

4:18 pm

Scarlet

There you go, Krista...

4:19 pm

Scarlet

The elderly have a slight edge with the service industries... they just can't come down on the older folks... in front of the other customers... makes them look cheap and mean-spirited...

4:19 pm

Krista

yep, has affected him a lot, that attitude of lack

4:20 pm

Judi

It's not like she takes a huge amount. She really just eats like a bird. I think it's just too much temptation to load up for "free".

4:20 pm

aknitter

hi there all, looking for a clue for the ro 6/24 please

4:20 pm

Scarlet

My mother was a hoarder with certain things... when she died, I found 12 cans of sauerkraut in her cabinet...

4:21 pm

periwinkle

Scarlet, when my dad died there were at least 6 cans of saving cream in the bathroom

4:21 pm

Judi

Hey, you never know when a sauerkraut famine will happen. Yeesh.

4:21 pm

Scarlet

She obviously remembered the hard old days...

4:22 pm

periwinkle

don't have it aknitter

4:22 pm

Scarlet

See, peri? That particular age group had it so tough that they never wanted to be cut short again... sme thing with toilet paper... odd, but harmless...

4:22 pm

pam

My late former mother in law (ex's step-mom) hoarded tuna like her parents before her... And she was aproduct of the depression her parents lived through...

4:22 pm

aknitter

thanks peri for letting me know,, will keep looking!

4:22 pm

Krista

Sounds very familiar, Scarlet! My father buys canned beans every time he goes to the store, because "you'll never starve if you have beans.' And believe me, no one in my family looks like they are going to starve anytime soon!

4:23 pm

pam

true, scarlet...

4:23 pm

Scarlet

LOl, Judi... that's pretty much what I told Mama... "You must have a terrible fear of the sauerkraut industry going belly-up!" She laughed...

4:23 pm

pam

LLOLLL, krista...

4:24 pm

LadyNatts

Mom made her own sauerkraut...

4:24 pm

Scarlet

Beans, tuna... sauerkraut... it's a direct result of the really awful days of rationing and poverty...

4:24 pm

Krista

Yeah, if those quirks help them feel more secure, I guess it's not a big deal.

4:24 pm

LadyNatts

exactly... my mom grew up in it

4:25 pm

LadyNatts

I was just telling my daughter this morning, in fact, that my dad said he often went to school with lard sandwiches in his lunchbucket

4:25 pm

periwinkle

mopving right along 41 left

4:25 pm

Krista

oh my, Lady!!

4:25 pm

nDanLia

ro 6 24 if cro7, would be craft looping yarn with hooked needle

4:26 pm

LadyNatts

can you even imagine that?

4:26 pm

Judi

LARD SANDWICH?? *arteries contract in horror*

4:26 pm

aknitter

ty nDanLia great clue!

4:26 pm

Krista

No, I really can't! lol, Judy

4:26 pm

Scarlet

And sugar and mayonnaise sandwiches on old, hard bread...

4:26 pm

nDanLia

tr 6 - move last letter of ro6 to front

4:27 pm

LadyNatts

i doubt that... sugar was too dear here

4:27 pm

aknitter

hey a 2-fer great

4:27 pm

Judi

I remember a kid in grade school who used to bring mustard sandwiches... on Wonder Bread. (HAD to be Wonder Bread).

4:27 pm

Scarlet

You're right, LadyN... this was for the Okies during the DustBowl days... and that was a treat...

4:28 pm

Scarlet

A la The Grapes of Wrath...

4:28 pm

Krista

reminds me of Eddie Murphy's Wonder Burgers (when they couldn't afford buns, ate them on Wonder Bread)

4:28 pm

periwinkle

first mim6/21 please

4:28 pm

Scarlet

To this day, I love baked bean sandwiches on toast, with a touch of ketchup...

4:29 pm

4:54 pm

pam

Were you hospitalized, min?

4:54 pm

Scarlet

Min, that sounds like a nightmare... what happened to you?

4:54 pm

lil*monkey

you mean, charo ???

4:54 pm

Judi

Let me guess, Min... you were on your way to play... Squash?

4:55 pm

Angela

yep - they always called her the koochie coo dancer

4:55 pm

Scarlet

Angela... you make me laugh... Charo was a hoot... and married to Xavier Cugat...

4:55 pm

pam

she always made me mental, charo did...

4:55 pm

lil*monkey

OK i understand that... what does that have to do with the mo5 ???

4:55 pm

Minveryork

I was in the hospital for one night. I missed 2 days of work.Everybody said that I was crazy to go back to work though. But I am off next week on winter break

4:56 pm

Angela

lol - she was a riot. never understood a word she said but...

4:56 pm

Scarlet

But a sweet person in spite of her cleavage and over-the-top swivel... LOL

4:56 pm

periwinkle

Charo is still around, with the same act, I couldn't stand her years ago and still can't

4:56 pm

Scarlet

Min... you are one tough lady!!

4:56 pm

Judi

Charo was on the Surreal Life not too long ago. Still forgetable.

4:56 pm

Angela

scarlet's clue at 4:51 I thought meant Charo...no?

4:56 pm

pam

wow, min...

4:57 pm

Scarlet

As an "act" she was famous for being famous, like Paris Hilton.

4:57 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Judi... didn't know that... she is "something" else...

4:57 pm

pam

I am with you, peri... never could abide her...

4:57 pm

Minveryork

Was trying to get in my car and a city bus came so I closed my door.I was unable to get out of the way in time. That bus slid into me and pinned me to my car.

4:57 pm

Angela

I agree with everyone's comments :) totally forgettable

4:57 pm

Scarlet

No, Angela... cow sound + milk product, **eese, then add the endings...

4:58 pm

Scarlet

Oh, Min... that is horrible... where were you hurt?

4:58 pm

periwinkle

OMG Min, glad that you are doing better

4:58 pm

pam

Oh, that is just horrid, min.

4:58 pm

Judi

Nobody ever really made fun of Charo for being married to Xavier. She was the Anna Nichole Smith of the 70's.

4:58 pm

Angela

I guess I must have confused the clues - but you are all welcome for the resulting Charo chatter

4:58 pm

pam

they made fun of her for being her... you are right, sort of like anna Nichole...

4:59 pm

Minveryork

I think I have internal bruising on my hips and waist.

4:59 pm

pam

I hope you can rest this coming week, min...

4:59 pm

4:59 pm

pam

and, OUCH... Darned bus driver...

4:59 pm

Angela

brb - gotta check email

5:00 pm

Scarlet

Did you have to go through endless X-rays to make sure that you didn't have any hairline fractures in you pelvis and spinal area, Min?

5:00 pm

Minveryork

It was a blessing in disguise,because they took many x-rays of me and they found 2 masses I did not know I had before.I have a mass on my thyroid and one on my pelvis. I have an mri next week and I have to get a biopsy,but have not scheduled an appointment yet.

5:00 pm

Krista

geesh, Min..glad you are relatively ok! I've always been afraid of that kind of thing happening...close quarters on city streets sometimes

5:01 pm

Scarlet

{{{Min!!}}} May a good result come your way, dear lady...

5:01 pm

periwinkle

Ditto, what Scarlet said, Min

5:01 pm

Judi

Wow. Maybe God's way of giving you a "gut check", Min. Weird the way things work out.

5:02 pm

Krista

one more example of that kind of thing..something odd happening that alerts you to other things..we were discussing that relative to Jellen last week

5:02 pm

Scarlet

Exactly, Krista... oh, the great mystery of life...

5:03 pm

pam

that is something, min....

5:03 pm

Scarlet

I am so glad that I asked you, Min... and thank you for being so honest about the entire situation. You have some gumption and strength...

5:03 pm

pam

jellen? Her aneurysm or something else?

5:04 pm

Minveryork

Yeah, it's weird. I am not sure I believe in the whole God aspect of the situation, but it's a mystery. Who knows!? Anyway, I just hope everything turns out ok

5:04 pm

Krista

the pulmonary embolism found when they were doing a pneumonia recheck

5:04 pm

pam

I hope so, too, min

5:04 pm

Minveryork

Thanks pam!

5:04 pm

pam

Oh, thats' right, embolism, not aneurysm...

5:05 pm

pam

You will be in my white light/vibration thoughts, min!

5:05 pm

periwinkle

is Jellen ok, an embolism is a clot

5:05 pm

Krista

happened to me twice..my cancer was found during routine x-ray for job, then lung nodule found when I had kidney stone 2 years ago...both turned out fine, but OH the WAITING they put you through

5:05 pm

periwinkle

thinking positive thoughts for you, Min

5:05 pm

Judi

Criminy! Same thing happened to my Dad a few years ago. Thought it was brochitis or pneumonia. Turned out to be 5 emboli in his lungs.

5:05 pm

Krista

think she is still doing anticoagulants

5:05 pm

pam

weird, krista....

5:06 pm

Krista

Keep us posted, Min, please.

5:06 pm

pam

she was on the other day, and don't you know, I forgot to ask after her health...

5:06 pm

Judi

Yes, they power load you with Coumadin or other anti-coags for that.

5:06 pm

Minveryork

Anyway,I have a houseful of company so I need to be a bit sociable. Thanks for your thoughts & concerns!
