MonkeyGames
Would drive me crazy too. Call me a stickler, but I expect people who've had the benefit of an education to be able to speak their own native language. Too much to ask? Clearly. Oh well.

Ah, that too. Probably this cousin did the same... It's traditional, after all.
12:54 am
herinfernallady
clue for the st 7 please begs
12:54 am
jillibus
well, dubya got one thing right -- "Had I known..." instead of "If I would have known..." which also drives me crazy -- and all that explains why I am so crazy I guess

3:03 am
MonkeyGames
I can't claim all the credit, he is just a good boy. Except this phase he just started...
3:04 am
MonkeyGames
Normal phase, nothing out of the ordinary, but he has discovered feeling pwerless and hating it so he's trying to see what he can take charge of in his life, and at the moment this involves a lot of doing stuff he knows he isn't supposed to and arguing with me.
3:04 am

Hi Accom

chilly but good - at least we are getting a little rain
3:29 am
VolleymomDee
aww hope you are both all bundled up and cuddly. Last week we had a storm once every single day. Everything is green, flowery, and beautiful, but my bones sure didn't like the storms.
3:29 am
herinfernallady
Volley i don't like storms. I either freak out or sleep through them
3:30 am
herinfernallady
and done
3:31 am
VolleymomDee
I'll take the sleep thru ... rather than the freak out!

How was the houseboat Sprite?
3:53 am
sprite
not good, lynxxx. Rotten place, lots and lots of stairs on the inside. We have decided to let this one pass. Thanks for asking :)
3:54 am
VolleymomDee
I have never been on a houseboat... lots of folks around here go to Kentucky Lake and seem to love them... I keep thinking they would be terribly claustrophic
3:55 am
sprite
I just got another letter from my father, as reply to mine, btw. Different kind of letter, a little more open. So back into doubt. And in this letter he tells me my sister, who has also cut off all contact with me, has had a bad accident in dec 2006, from which she will never completely whatstheword... get better. Life sucks, doesn't it? I am a mess for not knowing what to do.
3:55 am
lynxxx
I don't think I would even fancy a holiday on one either Volley
3:55 am
sprite
they can be pretty spacy, Dee. More so than most normal homes here in Holland.
3:56 am
VolleymomDee
oh, sprite; how confusing!
3:56 am
VolleymomDee
is your sis younger or older? Why did she cut off contact?
3:57 am
sprite
it is, isn't it? I usually do such a bad job protecting myself from people that hurt me. And now I am protecting myself, and now this... I simply don't know what to do anymore. Just promised my love that I won't do anything at all about it today.
3:58 am
lynxxx
I think I would reply Sprite, but just repeating what you said in your previous letter ie that you aren't able to take on anymore at the moment. Maybe suggest that you might contact them in the future should things improve
3:58 am
VolleymomDee
I agree that you should think thinks through before acting impulsively ... and back yourself into an even worse situation.
3:59 am
VolleymomDee
things (not thinks)
3:59 am
sprite
Dee, she is 3 years younger. And why, I do not know. Best guess has always been that she was jealous of my kids. It is a complicated story. Her husband did not want any and she claimed that was perfect for her. But it was not. She finally divorced, remarried and got kids. But I was not allowed to know she got remarried, let alone invited.
4:00 am
sprite
she told my mother and some friends of mine to lie to me about it, so I learned about it afterwards, and about the lies. It was pretty painful.
4:00 am
VolleymomDee
I think I agree with Lynxx... but it sounds like your sister has a lot of baggage she needs to deal with (which is not your fault or even your problem)...
4:00 am
sprite
sounds like good advice, lynxxx
4:01 am
sprite
well, she will always be my sister, and I love her. I am pretty sure I will want to write to her. But just to let her know I care, and that I am here if she should ever need me. Not to force her into some reaction she is not ready for.
4:01 am
VolleymomDee
It would be hurtful. My sister is 13 years older than I, and often I have thought there is a genetic character flaw that she just can't seem to tell the truth... I have had to just take what she says with a grain of salt.
4:02 am
VolleymomDee
sounds wise sprite
4:02 am
sprite
aw, that is painful too. It is terrible, not being able to trust the people you love.
4:02 am
VolleymomDee
like, you, I love her... but I wouldn't "choose" her for a friend.
4:03 am
sprite
not easy at all, Dee *hug*
4:04 am
sprite
my father wrote he is sorry his other letter wasn't more inviting. I seriously think that is the first excuse I ever got from him.
4:04 am
lynxxx
Read careful;y Sprite, we love you and don't want to see you hurt or used in anyway
4:04 am
VolleymomDee
A friend of mine (who is also a counselor by profession) once told me to be careful not to give people "power" to hurt me. She said they can only harm us, if we relinquish that power. Once I started thinking about it, I realized how much energy and time I had wasted fretting. Totally agree with Lynxxx.
4:04 am
lynxxx
NOT read - Tread
4:06 am
VolleymomDee
You are blessed with amazing children, a treasure of a hubby, a great life... don't let others bring pain into that joyous home.
4:07 am

You have come so far, sprite. Now is not the time to allow others to cause you to back-track. Hugs!!

no point in giving in sprite but you need to be kind to youself
6:23 am

so true, Andree, thanks. That is a balance I am working on. I have been so mean to myself without ever knowing it. Must learn to do things differently, which is easier said than done. But I am learning.

oh finally, thunder! It's like wearing a humid blanket all day here, hope it gets better now.

8:52 am
DR1965
YEs, Harp.. it isnt too bad
8:53 am
Scarlet
I had fun with the last two days and it worked well with stints in the garden, then sit for awhile, back and forth.
8:55 am
harpjane
i'm too obsessed with finishing to ENJOY the big grids, somedays I just don't start them at all
8:55 am
harpjane
yesterday my real life got out of hand and i started but didn't have time to finish
8:56 am
DR1965
I am sorry Harp..this is where I come so I can escape from out of hand life
8:57 am
Scarlet
I used to be obsessed too, harp, and then I had to take a breather of necessity with family situations... and was amazed that I lived without Babble for seven weeks... it was telling... so, I learned to do things differently, but I agree with DR... it's a great respite from "crappola".
8:57 am
DR1965
Well... off to work...
8:57 am
harpjane
i seem to keep coming back so don't feel too sorry for me
8:57 am

Beloved is doing wonderfully well, Annie. Thank you for asking. It
9:00 am
Scarlet
's as though he never had surgery at all! How are you and Bobby and Liz and family?
9:01 am
Scarlet
I bet Bobby is fit to be tied to see the Mets' meltdown this year... at least your NYY are trying really hard to find their groove>
9:01 am
Anniebrook
Glad to hear that is over. We are all going to a pool party in New Jersey to celebrate the 4th so I will get to see Liz and family
9:02 am
Scarlet
Nice, Annie... Is this the one where there are loads of children running around and the food is great?
9:02 am
Anniebrook
The Mets meltdown is not making Bobby too happy and now he pumps his hand in the air when the Yanks lose
9:02 am
Scarlet
LOL... sounds like me...
9:03 am
Anniebrook
Yes, that is the pool party. My grandkids are going to the Cyclone baseball camp (Mets minor league team) in Coney Island so they will be here for 4 days. I cant wait.

9:17 am
Scarlet
You're welcome, ardilla.
9:17 am

9:19 am
BzznBea
Slow. Can't do much until we sell the monster house we left.
9:19 am
Scarlet
LOL... just switch the last two letters from the Americanized spelling...
9:19 am
kje
oh...tes...that is not a useless vowel one - TY

BzznBea

12:12 pm

I HATE THE BLOODY F@#$%$#!!!! IRS!!!!!!
12:16 pm
pugmama763
sorry for shouting that was just the icing on a crappy news day.....
12:19 pm
fuquayvarina
next to insurance companies, tax agencies are the worst
12:20 pm
pugmama763
I've come to believe the IRS exists for the sole purpose of mentally torturing the american taxpayers!
12:21 pm
pugmama763
and sadly my sister works for them
12:22 pm
pugmama763
any clues for the er6 & 7 pair please? my brain is nearing meltdown....
12:22 pm
fuquayvarina
ahh, you have the inside scoop on how bad they are...
12:22 pm
hurshy
what did they do to you pug?
12:24 pm
Judi
Morning. Uh oh, pubmama. Sounds like audit problemos.
12:24 pm
pugmama763
I filed in march just so I could get the stimulus check (I'm on soc. sec.) and filed for direct deposit which I should have gotten in mid- May!
12:24 pm
Judi
*pugmama* Sorry about that.
12:25 pm
hurshy
and... you haven't gotten it
12:25 pm
Judi
Yes, you should have! Well, if anyone can screw something up, it's the IRS.
12:25 pm
BerniceQ
pug, you still looking for the er 6 and 7?
12:25 pm
fuquayvarina
er 6 starts with a word meaning to make a mistake, then goes on to pro ra**. 7 is the plural of 6, even though 6 is sort of a plural already
12:25 pm
pugmama763
The web site never gave me any info & I could never reach a real person after hours of getting bounced through voice menus
12:25 pm
Judi
We filed in February and just got our check Monday this week. So, maybe it's taking a bit longer.
12:27 pm
hurshy
i wonder if they are doing it regionally...
12:27 pm
BerniceQ
they distribute based on your social security number.
12:27 pm
pugmama763
still not getting it sorry
12:27 pm
BerniceQ
i got a letter telling me when to expect it. didn't you get a letter with a time span so you'd know when to consider it lost or late?
12:28 pm
pugmama763
anyway now they are saying I don't qualify , which I DO
12:28 pm
BerniceQ
pug, ER + an ugly mouse + a word use in a simile
12:28 pm
hurshy
everybody qualifies, i thought. i thought that was the whole point.
12:28 pm
BerniceQ
that's the ER7, take off the last letter for the ER6
12:28 pm
Judi
They are distributing on the basis of the last 3 or 4 numbers of your social security no. www.irs.gov has information under "stimulus paymens". It takes a few clicks, but there is a chart there for estimated payment dates, based on when you filed.
12:29 pm
fuquayvarina
anybody help with the y words? I have the one related to sailing, the unit of measure, and the plural hebrew letter, but what are the other two??
12:29 pm
BerniceQ
hursh, you have to earn under a certain amount to qualify
12:29 pm
pugmama763
so after another hour or so of voice menus etc I get a real person that tells me my form had an essential line left blank & I have to refile
12:30 pm
hurshy
clearly someone on social security qualifies, though, then.
12:30 pm
BerniceQ
yes, clearly
12:30 pm
pugmama763
ty finally got em
12:30 pm
hurshy
i wonder...
12:31 pm
pugmama763
which will mean another 3-4 months of waiting for a check
12:31 pm
BerniceQ
what do you wonder, hursh?
12:31 pm
Judi
Oh, those bastards. That' stupid. They should fast track you now though, especially since you are on social security.
12:31 pm
pugmama763
AND I don't know how it's even possible as my copy from H&R Block IS filled in & the computer just spits out 2 copies!
12:32 pm
hurshy
my mom helps people that she knows with their taxes... she does this for free... just cause, she's good at it... i wonder how many other people there are like that, and whether they could unite and form a website where you could get help for like $5 instead of a lot like accountants charge.
12:32 pm
hurshy
oh, except pug USED h&r block, so there goes that idea
12:33 pm
pugmama763
I've used the same lady at H& R for years & she charges me VERY little because she knows I can't afford it
12:33 pm
BerniceQ
you don't need an accountant, just a tax preparer, but that person, if s/he signs the bottom of your form, is willing to represent you if you get audited, and that's a lot to do for $5
12:34 pm
fuquayvarina
there is a volunteer tax prep service, called VITA, and AARP also has one called Tax-Aide. But Pug's problem sounds like some idiot at the IRS is just being a bureaucrat. The tax stimulus return was so incredibly simple it's hard to imagine anyone could mess it up.
12:34 pm
pugmama763
the federal government can screw up ANYTHING!!!
12:34 pm
hurshy
can you have your lady at H&R help you with this problem - call them on your behalf and tell them it is NOT missing and to send you the check pronto?
12:35 pm
BerniceQ
if the H&R person didn't see that you (or she) missed a crucial line on the form, then it seems they should upfront you the refund until you get it
12:35 pm
BerniceQ
they already offer to loan people their refunds when they file
12:35 pm
pugmama763
I left a voice mail for her to call me ASAP but they are only in office TUESDAYS this time of year
12:36 pm
hurshy
which was yesterday :(
12:36 pm
Judi
One day a week?! Nice hours. Where can I get a job like that?
12:36 pm
pugmama763
it doesn't make sense that MY copy has it filled in!?!
12:36 pm
BerniceQ
easy to get a job like that. they don't get paid when they aren't there.
12:37 pm
BerniceQ
that IS weird, pug
12:37 pm
hurshy
hey, look on the bright side. we babble in a world in which de5/12 is a word.
12:37 pm
pugmama763
all this BS right after a call to my DA during which he informed me his doctors beleive he has Alzheimers...
12:38 pm
pugmama763
ooops DAD
12:38 pm
Judi
Good lord, pugmama. Stop answering your phone!
12:38 pm
hurshy
ah... i was surprised you were talking to your district attorney
12:38 pm
pugmama763
and I feel utterly powerless to help him as he lives in TN
12:39 pm
Judi
Does your dad live alone?
12:39 pm
hurshy
"believe" sounds like they don't know for sure... maybe it will turn out not...
12:39 pm
Judi
He most certainly should go for a 2nd opinion about that, pugm.
12:40 pm
pugmama763
no but his wife is 5 years his senior & he will be 80 in Oct
12:41 pm
pugmama763
my sister lives an hour & 1/2 away but just lost her hubby suddenly * is very overwhelmed herself
12:41 pm

Perhaps there is a VA or elder care advocacy group near him that can assist him with how to proceed.

very sad... I'm so sorry. Check eldercare.gov for aging services agencies near him (I work for one in NC) -- they may have referrals for him
12:43 pm
pugmama763
he is working on deciding what to do as far as moving / future care & he will no doubt transfer power of attorney to my sister. He is very anal about such details.
12:44 pm
Judi
My dad was the same way. Turned out to be a good thing. He really did plan for any situation. Made my step mom's life a whole lot easier after he was gone.
12:44 pm

i'm guessing this is an inappropriate time to play name that proper noun!, then
12:44 pm

I'm pretty sure there are such services he can tap through the military as he served in the Navy & Army
12:45 pm

TY all for letting me ventillate.....

12:47 pm
hurshy
i did it just last night, among numerous other times
12:47 pm
hurshy
we may not know what to say in a hard situation but we know it helps just to talk about it
12:48 pm
pugmama763
maybe later I'll drink the 6-pack in the fridge, get drunk & just have a good cry.... ( very Life Time Channel, I know)
12:48 pm
hurshy
i'd go brownies instead of drunk, personally...
12:49 pm
pugmama763
If I do that I'll be buying my dresses from Omar the tent maker Hursh!
12:49 pm
hurshy
i just would rather die quickly of a heart attack than slowly of cirrhosis i guess
12:50 pm
pugmama763
it would be a rare indulgence as I almost never drink....
12:51 pm
hurshy
well pug, whatever you do...
12:51 pm
pugmama763
if anything gets me it will be the nicotine ! my only true addiction besides coffee & word games!

i know that this will be a hard thing and take time to cope with...
12:51 pm
Judi
Well, here's a bit of good news. One of our police officers just made a drug bust. Recovered 25 lbs. of marijuana. The dumb-dumb dealer had it FEDX'd to his own house. DUH.
12:51 pm
Judi
Street value of at least $15,000.
12:51 pm
hurshy
but i do hope that eventually, you will find peace about this.
12:51 pm
pugmama763
OMG!!! what a MORON!!!
12:52 pm
pugmama763
ty hursh and we all make peace eventually. what choice do we have?
12:52 pm
hurshy
oh judi, one of the students, the first year we were at the boarding school, had a whooooole slew of something - worse than marijuana but i forget which drug - sent to himself at the school, and THEN
12:52 pm
Judi
Hilarious, really. The drug dog sniffed it out at the FEDX terminal. Agents arranged to have it delivered as per routine.
12:52 pm
hurshy
he wasn't at the school to pick it up and he had someone else pick it up
12:53 pm
hurshy
who then showed it to lots of other kids
12:53 pm
hurshy
some of whom finally told the administration
12:53 pm
Judi
Let's face it, drug dealers/users are not the brightest people on the planet.
12:53 pm
hurshy
what choice do we have? well, we can live in a perpetual state of anxiety and/or depression
12:54 pm
hurshy
not that anyone would choose that
12:54 pm
hurshy
just, if they weren't able to get peace
12:54 pm
hurshy
well, i'm going to go now
12:55 pm

Crumble is the clingy one of our three, if I go away with work she misses me more than hubby does

Where N.F.Cs are concerned I bite my thumb at the CoG

I was just saying, Ata. You can't say a cat is best without considering all the competition.
2:06 pm

cats of glory?
2:06 pm
carleekat
( we went from southern fried mars bars to cats of glory.... somehow)
2:07 pm
FMitch
Katie I was watching TV the other day and they said that chinchillas are great pets but they chew/nibble anything they can
2:07 pm
Scarlet
Hi, Haz... Yes, daughter's animal is the True Cat of Glory...
2:07 pm
Haz1558
Katie - as endorsed by Edward Monkton. I found a card which encapsulated our reaction when a particular cat received more attention than I've ever seen.
2:07 pm
carleekat
ahem...red... I have 2 of them....
2:08 pm
KatieMcG
They look so cute FM, but i'm not sure the cats would get on with one & much more work to do on hubby before he would agree to one :-)
2:08 pm

As we Babbled, Katie, we were given a moment by moment breakdown of every breath, every step and every single trip to the food dish...

"and there shall come amonst them a CAT of such GREAT GLORY that all who see it will be SORE AMAZED and MARVEL at its SPLENDOUR" Direct quotation.

You will need to provide them with a sand bath Katie

No, FMItch - she came home today. She enjoyed her time though.
2:13 pm

Apparently far more engrossing than the population of South America too...

And this is evil why?
2:24 pm
KatieMcG
I'm not sure I want to know why!
2:24 pm
Haz1558
She's being awfully slow in answering. Has she gone to try them on?
2:24 pm
Atalante
because it is! because it means I don't care about the fiscal regime my husband has decided upon for me!
2:25 pm
Atalante
and I even bought them from Bon Marche to satisfy his frugality!
2:25 pm
Haz1558
Aha! These shorts represent defiance?
2:25 pm
KatieMcG
ahhh, there in lies the issue, fiscal regime = rebellion, a joint budget (with a decent clothes allowance) means no tantrums
2:25 pm
Haz1558
Do you even like the shorts?
2:26 pm
Atalante
they are ok, but I had *no* shorts without many holes in, and we've had a heatwave!
2:26 pm
FMitch
Sorry 'bout that darn phone
2:26 pm
Haz1558
Well then, they were an essential purchase.
2:27 pm
KatieMcG
I went to Long Tall Sally yesterday and bought 4 things in the sale, hubby sensible enough not to say anything thus avoiding a repeat visit today
2:28 pm
Haz1558
I thought you were going to say, avoiding a visit to casualty.
2:28 pm

I dug out a pair of short yesterday, put them on and they fell down.
*looked smug and vaguely embarrased all at the same time*
2:29 pm

Don't tell me this happened in the street.
2:29 pm

Because we can only bail you out so many times.
2:29 pm
FMitch
loool no, at home but was planning on wearing them out
2:30 pm
FMitch
yes Haz, sorry Haz :(
2:30 pm
Haz1558
I mean. The embarrassment, 'FMitch indeceent exposure again.' That'll be £25.
2:31 pm
FMitch
and and added £5 for over use of ee's too I suspect!
Ata have you got that link to Jamie for Haz to see?
2:32 pm
Haz1558
I know. I'm so shocked by the dropping of the shorts that I'm spraying vowels round with gay abandon.
2:32 pm
KatieMcG
Better go and do some dinner being as it is 8.30 and I haven't started anything. See you all later :-)

He looks intelligent. He looks as though he is thinking deep thoughts, trying to work out another game that could surpass babble. NO CHANCE!

I think it would be good for a caption competition. What is he thinking?...
2:38 pm

I just raised the possibility as a teasing thought. As if ANYBODY could come up with something better.
2:39 pm

Oh yes ... wonder if we could post the pic on BabAnon

He might be cross with us. He might throw us out of babble. I'm not prepared to take the risk.

well then, thats fine
2:41 pm

er6/18 - latin plural of a word meaning mistake.
2:42 pm
Haz1558
er6/18 - three letters to begin the mistake, then ***lante (babbler)

It's like a kind of rolling theme, FMitch. You are blamed regularly.
