VolleymomDee

2:19 am

sprite

what do you folks call that? Texting?

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

texting is phrase I know, but SMS may be common here, too

2:20 am

KatieMcG

you can also MMS which is when you send a photo and is called Multi Media Service

2:20 am

KatieMcG

Morning everyone :-)

2:20 am

sprite

it is so weird, I mean, it comes straight from the english. But then it isn't used in english. Small wonder I get confused, lolll

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

I am not very educated on that terminology

2:21 am

sprite

morning Katie. Yup, exactly.

2:21 am

sprite

it has become a verb in dutch.

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

2:23 am

loredana

morning katie

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

yes, hi katie....

2:23 am

sprite

not to great lately, Dee. But trying now to get some structure in my days and I have to admit it helps some. We will see what happens once I have done it for a week or longer. Thanks for asking :)

2:23 am

sprite

not *too great

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

yw; I think of you often and hope your days get better and better; you have persevered thru many hurdles, and we are all proud of you

2:25 am

sprite

now you got me all teary, lol... thanks Dee. That is really great to know. Thanks for thinking of me, I know that that helps too.

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

earlier in chat I shared about daughter being stressed out; and she is an extremely strong individual. For sure!!!

2:26 am

Hugabugs

and fireworks

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

when she calls me crying, I never know how I can help her. She's 2.5 hours away, and I hate that I'm not closer.

2:26 am

sprite

wtg Hugs

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

I know God uses these challenges for growth, but they sure are not fun. Congrats hug!!!

2:27 am

sprite

Dee, it is often the stronger ones that stress out eventually, because they push through for way too long. I am sure your listening to her and just being there will help her. And she can feel you love her and that is even more important. *hug* to both of you.

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

well off to check emails then find my pillow; hugs to you; hope your day/ eve is fantastic!!!

2:28 am

sprite

bye Dee, have a great evening, a restful night and a grand day :)

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

I sure hope you are correct sprite. She has a micromanaging boss, and because of dealing with him, she has lost interest in a job she used to love... makes me sad

2:28 am

Hugabugs

goodnite Dee and thanks for all your help

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

I keep thinking that God is using this to push her in another direction, but she may not get a job she has interviewed for and really wants, so I am confused. YW HUG!!

2:29 am

KatieMcG

congrats Hugs

2:29 am

Hugabugs

thanks Katie

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

I think it is easier to face a hurdle myself, than watch my child struggle...

2:29 am

sprite

that takes a lot of trust, Dee. And trust is not easy when you are stressed out, I know. I will pray she will find a new place easily and that it will bring her joy.

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

ty ty... exactly my desire

2:30 am

sprite

oh god yes, Dee. Seeing your kids struggle sucks big time.

2:30 am

loredana

goodnight volley please donot worry all is in hand as you deeply know all things will pan out as they are meant to be patient and watch her step through her hurdles and you will glow with pride please take care and try not to worry too much

2:30 am

Hugabugs

well, I'm off as well. goodnite/day everyone

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

and as a mom, it's hard to know how long to commiserate before saying, it is time to suck it up and move forward

2:31 am

KatieMcG

KatieMcG

sprite

2:37 am

sandyloo

2:38 am

that is so true, lobo. Amazing community this is.

2:38 am

sprite

sleep well, Katie, and I hope your head will be better soon

2:38 am

sprite

hi sandyloo

2:39 am

loredana

katie see you back here real soon take care

2:39 am

sandyloo

It has its downside- I should be clearing out the sea container- not wasting time doing this.

2:39 am

sandyloo

Hi sprite - are you not well?

2:39 am

loredana

this is group therapy with no boundaries sandy and we always rally around those who nbeed to hear some positive comments and they are all true

2:40 am

sprite

thanks lobo! Guess I had to, it was about time. It is all about boundaries, and I am learning. Slowwwwwly, but still, lol.

2:40 am

loredana

no repsonse from papa?

2:40 am

sandyloo

yes lore I think it's great for that.

2:40 am

sprite

not really, sandy, haven't been for many years now. But never giving up.
Hm, sea container... how nice to have babble to put it off a little longer, grin.

2:41 am

loredana

you had better go do your chores then you can relax and join us in babbleland we will save a seat for you lolk

2:41 am

sprite

nope, not a word from my father. Didn't really expect it either. Just would love to know if he will keep silent, uncertainty is not easy to handle.

2:42 am

sandyloo

We keep all our junk in it and my daughter Beccy is going torent out her house and she needs room for her junk (When will it end)

2:42 am

loredana

do not be uncertain sprite I would think he probably cannot handle the truth your part is done you are free from those ties. yay for sprite

2:42 am

sprite

time to really clean out and throw or give away stuff, I think, sandy :)

2:43 am

sandyloo

I have found lots of things i forgot i had but i am very dusty.

2:43 am

loredana

know exactly what your saying sandy .... sorry to tell you it never ends lol

2:44 am

sprite

you are probably right, lobo, and for the most part I can keep my mind clear about it. It just takes some time to get the emotional hubbub calmed down again.

2:44 am

loredana

watchout for the redbacks... hopefully you dont disturb anything else

2:45 am

sandyloo

lol lore- They wouldn't dare bite me!

2:45 am

sandyloo

Acually it is very insect and weather proof

2:45 am

sprite

lol sandy!

2:47 am

loredana

sprite an exercise given to me was ..imagine you are on the ocean deep sea fishing standing at the end of the boat... send all your worries and problems into the sea which I did immediately visualising of all things sea containers bobbing around in the ocean i filled them up with all my woes and then smiled as they quickly bobbed off out of site. It works everytime for me as long as i remember the fishing! lol

2:48 am

loredana

ooops sight

2:48 am

sprite

hm, good one, will try it out, lobo!

2:48 am

sandyloo

good one lore- another thing i always say to my kids is "remember pollyanna" she could always see the best side of things

2:48 am

sandyloo

its all in the way you look at things

2:49 am

sprite

so true, sandy. One of my handicaps is that I always can see almost all sides of things, and that paralyses me. I should learn to focus on the positive side and then pick ONE, lol.

2:50 am

loredana

have to stay positive problem is world is full of negativity so need to be a "Pollyanna"

2:51 am

sandyloo

Sprite it is very true I always block the negatives or I would go mad - especially with all of Nicky's health problems

2:52 am

sprite

you are a wise woman, sandyloo!

2:52 am

sandyloo

We are all wise in our own ways and group wiseness is a good thing-it

2:53 am

sandyloo

its a good thing

2:53 am

sprite

it is. There is power in sharing power and good medicine, for sure.

2:53 am

sandyloo

But wiseness when it comes to the babble words escapes me all too often

2:55 am

sprite

lol, that is also something we all share

2:55 am

sandyloo

Oh by the way - I have finally got the fireworks a couple of times with Nicky's help (not the biblical kind either!)

2:55 am

sprite

well done sandy and Nicky!

2:56 am

loredana

well done sandy

2:57 am

sandyloo

LOL not today tho" have 66 left

2:57 am

sprite

today's is not so tough though, sandy.

2:57 am

sandyloo

haven't got that one yet

2:57 am

sprite

might be possible to finish, even though it is not so small. Yesterday's was wicked.

2:58 am

sandyloo

Your brain is probably HUGE compared to mine sprite!!

2:58 am

sandyloo

We got there yesterday much to our delight

2:58 am

sprite

my brain has stared at yesterday's grid without seeing words for a lonnnng time, lol

2:59 am

loredana

sprite is very modest sandy english is not her 1st language yet she has an english vocabulary far beyond most of us

2:59 am

sprite

so, if you made it with yesterday's, you did great. It was an evil one.

2:59 am

sprite

now don't make me blush, lobo! I learn something new in babble every day!

3:00 am

sandyloo

Wow Sprite I am even more impressed

3:00 am

loredana

Dr God doesnt make evil grids sprite only good grids lol

3:00 am

sandyloo

OK back to the sea container I'll let Nick add a few now

3:02 am

PAV3

3:02 am

loredana

I truely believe that is your main outlet Sprite your writing

3:03 am

loredana

in the pocket much more polite i think

3:03 am

3:19 am

sandyloo

3:20 am

3:21 am

sprite

3:21 am

Thump!

3:30 am

Haz1558

Da4 - have to change my icon.

3:30 am

LoriP

lolol, so much for quiet.... G'd morning FM, Haz. Jeesh :p

3:30 am

FMitch

LOL!! such timing, Hi Haz

3:31 am

FMitch

WE're justhappy to see you, thats all.

3:31 am

LoriP

Tag team rasslin'. Lovely.

3:31 am

FMitch

*sits down quietly and waits for Haz to get back*

3:31 am

Haz1558

Good morning!

3:32 am

LoriP

**revels in the knowlege that FM cannot sit quietly for more than 5 seconds***

3:32 am

Haz1558

I'll have to be more imaginative later on for BJ's day but Spangle will have to do for now.

3:32 am

FMitch

Ah you know me so well!
Better sized grid today, I felt cheated eysterday.

3:33 am

Haz1558

Sooooo, what's the topic for today's discussion?

3:33 am

Haz1558

What I want to know is - who works out all these opening and closing Olympic ceremonies?

3:33 am

Haz1558

Are they able to direct rehearsals from a helicopter?

3:33 am

LoriP

I'm with you FM, yesterday's was a wee tad brief.

3:33 am

Haz1558

How do they know what it's going to look like?

3:34 am

Haz1558

What do they do with their time the other three and a half years?

3:34 am

FMitch

existentialism?

3:34 am

Haz1558

Discuss.

3:34 am

LoriP

I didn't watch them, but it's an amazing feat of coordinating, for sure.

3:34 am

FMitch

CGI probably

3:34 am

FMitch

The chap that designed the ceremonies is a film maker I think

3:35 am

Haz1558

A cast of thousands, more fireworks than you could imagine and all sorts of fancy things going on.

3:35 am

LoriP

We were up home at my sister's lake retreat for the opening ceremonies, so we didn't see them, apparently they were something else.

3:36 am

FMitch

Running Tiger, Crouching Dragon - well something like that, huge epic cast type productions

3:36 am

LoriP

Each country tries to outdo the previous one with ceremonies. Mucho $$$

3:36 am

Haz1558

I watched a rerun of the opening and part of the closing ceremony. Just amazing. I hope London doesn't even try to compete.

3:37 am

Haz1558

The fact that you need commentators to tell you what's supposed to be going on says it all.

3:38 am

Haz1558

Although - just think, FMitch - if they're looking for volunteers to take part in dances wearing Greek tunics.... you're nearly on the spot!

3:38 am

Haz1558

I think I'll write to Lord Coe to make that suggestion. Inclusivity and all that.

3:38 am

LoriP

I used to be fanatical about Olympic, with time I've lost my love for it, and it's replaced by ambivalence.

3:38 am

Kazzer99

Good morning one and all - bit of a dull day here after the nicer weekend

3:38 am

FMitch

Somehow I managed to miss the closing ceremony, will have to find highlights on iPlayer

Ummm thanks Haz but I'm washing my hair that day ;)

3:39 am

Haz1558

Good morning Kazzer. Would you take part in the opening ceremony for the Olympics in 2012?

3:39 am

LoriP

heh heh heh FM already has her attire, think of the savings......

3:39 am

FMitch

Hi Kazz, well it is August bank holiday so am just glad it's not raining YET

3:39 am

Haz1558

FMitch is gathering a Babble team to represent word sport.

3:40 am

lol Haz

3:40 am

LoriP

G'd morning Kazz

3:40 am

Haz1558

FMitch is showing true Olympic spirit. We salute her!

3:40 am

LoriP

Yes, but she'd never pass the drug testing..... :p

3:41 am

FMitch

Oh heck Just realised I've arranged to meet a neighbour round at B's place at 10.15 and I'm not even dressed.

I hate leaving Haz when she is in organising mode, it never turns out well for me!

3:41 am

Kazzer99

yes I would - dont care doing what but I'd look like a burke with the rest of them My husband has just posted a terrible picture of me after our walk on Saturday - its at the top of the ridge having got there from the bottom by the reservoir near Pen y Fan and if he can do that then I can do mad stuff in front of the world

3:41 am

Haz1558

We just need a chemist to work out the right combination.

3:42 am

Haz1558

That's okay, FMitch, we'll get a rough plan drafted and let you know what you're doing nearer the time.

3:42 am

LoriP

Your real life is really interfering with MY Babble experience FM.......

3:42 am

FMitch

bum bum bum and thrice bum
*sobs and picks up pillow half hartedly*

3:43 am

LoriP

hartedly, like Bambi. :p

3:43 am

Haz1558

Don't tell me FMitch is going to the dark side and joining the anal obsessives?

3:43 am

FMitch

Back as soon as I can be *zoooooooooom*

3:43 am

LoriP

See ya' soon FM.

3:43 am

Haz1558

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! it's SUPERMITCH!

3:43 am

Haz1558

Bye FMitch.

3:44 am

LoriP

Or is it Ermentrude? (sp?)

3:45 am

Haz1558

Ermintrude. If we can have Annie as a flying nun, I don't see why we can't have a flying cow.

3:45 am

LoriP

Udderly delightful!

3:46 am

Haz1558

Just be sure to keep umbrellas up.

3:46 am

Kazzer99

i have changed my icon to mad bad picture

3:47 am

Haz1558

You're still standing, though. That has to count for something.

3:48 am

LoriP

Nice pic. You're upright, so that's a good thing. :)

3:48 am

Kazzer99

that true but I can just about move today - worst thing was that was the start - there was another 6.5 miles afer that and 2 mountains

3:48 am

Haz1558

You're a marvel!

3:49 am

Kazzer99

You can just see the first one - Corn Du in the background

3:49 am

LoriP

I salute you. If I can't drive such a distance, then it's not happening. :)

3:50 am

Haz1558

And you're carrying stuff as well. No wee Sherpas to help you out?

3:50 am

Kazzer99

We are going up Snowdon next week - I will be away from Babble for about 9 days

3:50 am

Haz1558

No internet signal from Snowdon, I suppose?

3:51 am

Haz1558

You'll cope, Kazzer. The first day or two are hard, you settle into no babble after a while and then you can start to look forward to what's in store.

3:51 am

LoriP

Hope you have a good time Kazz

3:51 am

Kazzer99

Hubby helped by holding the top of my ruck sack whilst i was scrabbling up the rocks to stop me falling off! (I use scrabbling delerately as it was too undignifed to call it scrambling!)

3:52 am

Haz1558

Do you stay under a roof or under canvas when you're away?

3:52 am

Kazzer99

Internet on mobile - hmm there's an idea - no hubby pays the bill and might have heart failure

3:53 am

Haz1558

No, don't give him heart failure. Especially if he helps you with your rucksack.

3:53 am

Kazzer99

We stay on a small privately owned caravan and chalet park Good plumbing no kids

3:54 am

Haz1558

Paradise.

3:54 am

Kazzer99

Nice talking to all but I have to go to do some washing and stuff but will be back later. Love to you all

3:54 am

Haz1558

Bye Kazzer. Give yourself a rub with Deep Heat and you'll be a new woman. Bye for now!

3:57 am

LoriP

Later Kazz, take care.

4:03 am

LoriP

All this time just to grey the bottom 5 tiles. Ack

4:05 am

Haz1558

You're very focussed.

4:06 am

LoriP

Yes yes, that's me, starting a whole new ay of life. No. Really.

4:07 am

Haz1558

Have you been going to self-improvement classes or something?

4:07 am

Haz1558

You'll not change out of recognition, though? You'll not start emoting?

4:08 am

LoriP

One of the voices told me I need to change.

4:08 am

Andree

mrpresident

4:33 am

herinfernallady

4:33 am

mrpresident

4:33 am

Andree

4:33 am

4:33 am

mrpresident

4:34 am

herinfernallady

4:34 am

mrpresident

March of the Penguins is on tonight... have the kids up and watching it.

4:35 am

mrpresident

Melbourne is bloody freezing at the moment! poor infern

4:35 am

Andree

that is the most amazing movie and how cold must the photographers been?

4:36 am

herinfernallady

Yes it is but im at my b.fs parents house helping out his mum from her shoulder reconstruction for the week

4:36 am

mrpresident

I am seriously thinking of moving out of the area... how much for a 4 bedroom in your area Andree (rent)

4:37 am

mrpresident

hope her surgery went well infern... it is a rather long recovery I hear

4:39 am

Andree

we are paying $740 4 beds, 3 bath, and all the normal stuff plus a rumpus room for the kids and a pool so shared between 2 of us is affordable

4:39 am

mrpresident

that is really good then andree! we would have to pay the same around here.

4:41 am

mrpresident

There is a lovely house coming up in January down the road... it is $800 a week, so would have to work too so we could afford it without too much stress, but is still much cheaper than a mortgage! Isn't that sad.... I don't know how our kids will afford to move out

4:42 am

Andree

we were originally looking in killarney heights or forestville but ther is about $200 a week difference so we decided the extra 7 minutes travelling was worth it

4:43 am

Andree

where does lickety travel to each day

4:44 am

Andree

you might be better looking in this area

4:45 am

sandyloo

hello everyone-interesting talk about rent-my daughter is moving out of her house and is going to rent it out and move in with her grandma because it is too expensive for her to stay

4:46 am

sandyloo

her mortguage is gone up so much

4:46 am

mrpresident

indeed andree...
lickety is in north ryde... but he says it is a horrible place to live

4:46 am

Andree

he is probably right mrp

4:47 am

mrpresident

hi sandy... it has gone up way way too much... a mortgage for us would be about $1400 a week

4:47 am

mrpresident

funny enough, his family lived there all his life and when I met him, he was living there LOL

4:47 am

lynxxx

My goodness! - I am so glad I am out of the rental & mortgage market, the costs are sooo high! hello MR, Andree & Sandy

4:48 am

Andree

sandy, my sons who both earn a lot both rent, say its makes more sense

4:48 am

Andree

hi lynxxx

4:48 am

mrpresident

it does make more sense... it is half the price to rent

4:49 am

sandyloo

she is an architect and earns good money but is hoping for capital gains

4:49 am

sandyloo

lynxxx if you are out of both markets, are you living in your car??

The market in Perth has been fantastic for us because we have two properties which have both gone through the roof but I feel so sorry for the kids

4:52 am

NonoNanette

goodness rents are certainly high in Australia!

4:52 am

lynxxx

NSW has always been higher in house prices & rents though

4:53 am

Andree

that is not high nono, I have 1 son paying $1250 and 1 paying $1150 per week

4:53 am

herinfernallady

barely afford $500 a month on rent on benifits

4:53 am

NonoNanette

you all are talking amounts per week that we would pay per month

4:53 am

mrpresident

herinfernallady

That is bull crap ANdree. Seriosly

4:54 am

sandyloo

4:54 am

mrpresident

rents and mortgages are ridiculous

4:54 am

sandyloo

andree is that the cost of their mortguages?

4:55 am

mrpresident

that is rent sandy

4:55 am

herinfernallady

We pay $1286 a month and we both can barely afford the rent

4:55 am

sandyloo

it is getting out of control

4:55 am

mrpresident

we would get a dog box for that in sydney infern

4:56 am

PAV3

I'm done...and I must be up in 4 hours...night all!

4:56 am

sandyloo

Sydney rents have always been high- but what a great place to live-I love Sydney

4:56 am

Andree

no their rent, its the areas they choose to live and if you want to live in the eastern suburbs its about $5000 a week for a decent house

4:56 am

herinfernallady

I wouldn't live in Sydney for quids these days

4:56 am

mrpresident

night pav

4:56 am

4:57 am

Andree

I LOVE SYDNEY

4:57 am

dart001

hi herin

4:58 am

mrpresident

the pay rate is equivelant to living expenses though... Sydney has a much higher pay rate than other cities.

4:58 am

NonoNanette

is there a minimum pay rate there mrp?

4:58 am

sandyloo

My daughter used to live there I LOVE IT especially the walk along the cliffs from Bronte to Bondi after breakfast

4:59 am

Andree

most of us who rent look for what we can afford so it all works out in the end

4:59 am

herinfernallady

Didn't say i don't like Sydney I just wouldn't live there

4:59 am

sandyloo

and that walk up Oxford Street to the markets

5:00 am

mrpresident

yes nono, there is.

5:00 am

Andree

you are talking eastern suburbs here sandy, you will need to be very well off to rent there

5:00 am

mrpresident

I wouldn't live in Melbourne ... I don't like the daily seasons there

5:01 am

herinfernallady

I seriously couldn't justify spending anymore that $320 a week in rent.

5:01 am

sandyloo

Perth is a nice place to live but doesn't have the buzz of Sydney

5:01 am

lynxxx

psshaw - Its really not that bad MRP,. like now - it's just a continuous cold stretch

5:02 am

Andree

you might get the dogbox mrp mentioned then herin

5:02 am

mrpresident

ah lynxx, it takes getting used to! LOL

5:03 am

herinfernallady

I wouldn't live in Sydney. The place we have now is nice

7:23 am

herinfernallady

:( any

7:24 am

kje

oh drats annie - hopefully not shingles

7:24 am

herinfernallady

opps :( annie

7:24 am

kje

have you had them before?

7:24 am

crosshair

annie..if you get shingles,you will know it,trust me

7:25 am

Anniebrook

kje, I had the vaccine for shingle the beginning of July but I hugged my neighbor who just had contracted shingles 3 weeks ago...can it be shingles...I moved a stove yesterday so I am not sure but I am terrified of shingles...

7:25 am

kje

you do not catch shingles from people with shingles

7:26 am

kje

it is reactivation of the dormant virus that causes chicken pox and never leaves your body

7:26 am

kje

it was probably the stove

7:26 am

crosshair

my fahter in-law just finished a bout of shingle..was nasty and it is in most cases a diet deficency not communicable

7:26 am

kje

what the heck are you doing moving a stove!

7:26 am

crosshair

most cases

7:26 am

Anniebrook

kje, I thought you could because she had not crusted over and I did not know she had shingles...

7:26 am

herinfernallady

icky. Must not get shingles

7:26 am

kje

it is not a diet deficiency

7:26 am

crosshair

what the doc told him

7:27 am

crosshair

but then again ive never had them,so who am i to judge

7:27 am

kje

no, annie - not communicable that way... rare cases of shingles causing chicken pox in those who have never had it, but not shingles.... shingles is reactivated chicken pox virus (called tha varicella-zoster virus)

7:28 am

herinfernallady

8:48 am

Angelsong

personal possessions...everything in a home.

8:51 am

harpjane

good morning

8:52 am

cubs83

note

8:52 am

cubs83

sorry!!!

8:56 am

Angelsong

this week is going to be interesting. I have been summoned to my parents' house on Wednesday evening, for dinner and to do some estate planning.

8:57 am

harpjane

your parents are wise angel, hope they don't start a feud

8:58 am

harpjane

how many letters in the u words, please?

8:59 am

Angelsong

absolutely! I've already decided that they do not own anything I want badly enough to start a feud with my brothers over.

9:00 am

Angelsong

I thought my dad did a wonderful job when my grandmother died. He called me and my brothers to my grandmother's home and told us we were going to go through it and decide what we wanted to keep. He said if we argued over anything, the items argued over would just be sold. Not one word of discord resulted.

9:01 am

BzznBea

There is a UP6 harp

9:02 am

Angelsong

they are both up6.

BzznBea

Actually there are two UP6

thanks

9:08 am

rolin

could i have a clue for the de8 pls?

9:10 am

rolin

cos ive tried the explosive action too many times..lol

9:10 am

Haz1558

de8 - usually clued as the beginning of the fifth book of the Old Testament.

9:10 am

Haz1558

Or, de, then run together an Aussie vehicle (short version) and shortened Pres Reagan.

9:10 am

rolin

aaah so it is..thx haz

9:11 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, rolin. Not at work today?

9:11 am

rolin

nope...bank holiday here...last one before xmas..*sigh*

9:12 am

rolin

but i cant complain really ..i get my summer hols in 4 weeks

9:12 am

Haz1558

I hate to tell you but our local department store has started putting out Christmas stuff.

9:12 am

Haz1558

Oh, where are you going on holiday?

9:13 am

rolin

australia for most of it..but breaking the trip back in kuala lumpar for 3 nights

9:13 am

rolin

xmas stuff..??...already??...*groan*..thats absurd...

9:13 am

Haz1558

Are you visiting friends and family?

9:14 am

Haz1558

Absolutely absurd, but they claim people have been ringing to ask when it's going out.

9:14 am

rolin

yup.. gonna be there for my mums 94th b.day...and see my son..bro..his family etc..catch up with friends..

9:14 am

Haz1558

That should be great. Your mum has certainly reached a venerable age.

9:15 am

rolin

she has indeed.. and has been invited to the mayoral dinner in recognition of her volunteer work

9:15 am

FMitch

Oooh, Olympians just landing at Heathrow and going to hotel about 6 miles away from where I am - should I get my camera out and pretend to be paparatzzi?

9:15 am

Haz1558

Good for her! It's nice that she's getting recognition for what she's done, although she probably doesn't think it's anything special.

9:16 am

rolin

can you believe we're asked to sit and watch a plane land??..

9:16 am

Haz1558

A nice thought, FMitch. Have you got your PRESS sticker for your trilby?

9:16 am

rolin

no she doesnt..she sees it as her way to get out of the house and feel useful... she says shes starting to feel really old now..lol

9:16 am

Vicuna

How enormous a lens do you have, FM? Because if it's smaller than a Yule log, they'll never believe you're really papparazzi.

9:16 am

FMitch

Dear Mother has just phoned BRB

9:17 am

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna!

9:17 am

Vicuna

(Just trying to get into the Christmas spirit with my Yule log reference. Since Haz is obviously gearing up already.)

9:17 am

Haz1558

You always used to be able to recognise crowds of Japanese tourists because their lenses preceded them.

9:17 am

Haz1558

Now it's all digital but they STILL take photos of everything.

9:17 am

rolin

vic..americans cant gear up for xmas yet can they...they have thanksgiving and halloween to sell to first dont they???

9:18 am

Haz1558

No need to get into any Christmas spirit yet. I will steadfastly ignore until the time is right.

9:18 am

harpjane

Christmas? Did someone mention that it's time to start practicing Christmas music?

9:18 am

rolin

ugh...halloween...i hate that

9:18 am

rolin

harpjane....only if you wish to risk death...

9:18 am

Vicuna

Well, rolin, we USED to wait until after Thanksgiving, but I'm afraid that's all past.

9:18 am

Haz1558

I think preparation for Christmas should be a private matter until December 1.

9:19 am

Vicuna

Hear hear, Haz!

9:19 am

Haz1558

And I propose that we shouldn't talk about it - we should talk about FMitch instead.

9:20 am

harpjane

nice idea haz but how do you think the christmas music gets LEARNED? lol

9:20 am

rolin

the best place to spend the lead up to and xmas itself is in a muslim country...lol..we did that a couple of years ago... tho the place we stayed thought they had to try wrapping some tinsel around a palm tree...lol

9:20 am

harpjane

If i started December 1 it would be ready to play by Valentine's Day....

9:20 am

Vicuna

Right-oh. Let's see... DId you hear about how FM's been arrested for papparazzi-related activities?

9:21 am

Haz1558

Isn't it awful? And we're still wondering whether Ata is going to be allowed back into the country.

9:21 am

Vicuna

Or about her secret trip to Dubai to smuggle tinsel from their closely guarded tinsel-wells?

9:21 am

Haz1558

Those two are going to give babblers a bad name.

9:21 am

harpjane

church musicians are, by necessity, a season ahead of the rest of the church

9:21 am

Haz1558

Who guards the tinsel wells?

9:22 am

Vicuna

Oh, Ata. Sheesh. She'll end up in Brazil for sure, if you people don't want her back, and we can't wait to get rid of her...

9:22 am

FMitch

*sigh, this call could take a while ... ... :)*

9:22 am

Vicuna

Masked militia-men, of course.

9:22 am

Haz1558

Yes, that's fine, harpjane - by definition they're playing in church and not blasting innocent bystanders with chirpy jingles.

9:23 am

Vicuna

Poor FM. Don't worry, dear, we'll just keep gissipping about you until your return!

9:23 am

FMitch

LOL

9:23 am

Haz1558

Silly me - who else would guard a tinsel well?

9:23 am

Vicuna

Presumably your practicing does not get broadcast over the malls' loudspeaker-systems, right, harpjane?

9:24 am

Vicuna

(Or gossipping, maybe. I'm not quite sure how to gissip.)

9:24 am

nDanLia

well, they just want you to remember what they think the important aspect is - the almighty monetary unit

9:24 am

Haz1558

Harpjane is getting tuned up, I fear.

9:24 am

Haz1558

Vicuna, this ISN'T an opportunity for you to sing.

9:25 am

nDanLia

gissiping is what woment do as they sip tea

9:26 am

Vicuna

A little more genteel than gossipping, perhaps, nDanLia? that sounds perfect for me. I'm so refined.

9:26 am

harpjane

Actually I DO enjoy Halloween but I ahve been to many christmas rehearsals during Halloween season. Lots of memories of someone singing Ave Maria while dressed as a pumpkin....

9:26 am

lizmac

Hello everybody.

9:26 am

Vicuna

(And speaking of genteel refinement, *blows Haz a big raspberry*)

9:27 am

Haz1558

I never thought anything else or you, Vicuna. When I picture you, I see a little finger poised delicately above the teacup.

9:27 am

Vicuna

Hello, lizmac.

9:27 am

Haz1558

Hello lizmaac (valiantly towelling down and revising opinions of Vicuna)

9:27 am

harpjane

hi liz

9:28 am

Vicuna

But Haz, my little finger WAS poised above the teacup as I blew that raspberry!

9:28 am

Haz1558

Which explains why the raspberry was tea flavoured.

9:28 am

nDanLia

well, you'll have to give that to her haz

9:29 am

Haz1558

So, is sunny Stranraer living up to its name today, liz?

9:29 am

Vicuna

Anyway, I was doing it out of tenderhearted generosity towards you, Haz. It was either that or sing.

9:29 am

Haz1558

I got the better part of the deal then.

9:29 am

Haz1558

Better a hundred raspberries than a song from Vicuna.

9:30 am

FMitch

... and I'm back :)

9:30 am

Haz1558

Hurray!

9:30 am

Vicuna

Yay! FM's back! Maybe Haz will abuse her for a while, instead of me!

9:31 am

Haz1558

Keep your souwester on, FMitch, Vicuna is blowing refined raspberries.

9:31 am

lizmac

At the moment, Haz, but Pisa's beckoning, so I'm less weather obsessed than usual today. Off on Wednesday, yipeeeee!

9:31 am

Haz1558

And it's never abuse, Vicuna, it's just gentle reality checking.

9:31 am

Vicuna

Only at those who are so low and gauche as to insult me, of course. I'm sure FM is perfectly safe.

9:31 am

Haz1558

Ah - liz will soon be eating Pizza in Pisa. All those nice Italian men as well....

9:32 am

lizmac

Indeed.

9:32 am

Vicuna

Ah, where's Ata when the conversation turns to Italian men? She's bound to be around here somewhere!

9:32 am

harpjane

da5?

9:33 am

Haz1558

I know. Usually she can be relied upon to turn up at regular intervals but this trip is ruining her babble smugness.

9:33 am

harpjane

nm

9:33 am

FMitch

Is'nt it just Haz!! She comes and goes willy nilly now!

9:34 am

nDanLia

thats what those italian men can be harp

9:34 am

FMitch

lol nDan

9:34 am

Haz1558

I know. It's all a bit discombobulating.

9:34 am

harpjane

du6? this time i really mean it?

9:34 am

Vicuna

Poor Ata. She'll have to fall back on kitten smugness and art smugness.

9:34 am

harpjane

either one?

9:35 am

Haz1558

You mean we'll be treated to pictures of cute kittens to try to make us think favourably of her again?

9:35 am

FMitch

Spanish for a chaperone = du6/24

9:36 am

Vicuna

Yeah, specifically the adorable black one she's been visiting.

9:36 am

Haz1558

Gosh - had to think hard in the recesses of O-level Spanish for that one.

9:36 am

FMitch

du6/27 = du + to terminate + vowel

9:36 am

nDanLia

du 6 27 is sp goblin or magnetism - of, its vi

9:37 am

Haz1558

An adorable black kitten, you say? A competitor for the cat of glory title?

9:37 am

nDanLia

duett=e

9:37 am

FMitch

No!! Surely not??

9:38 am

Haz1558

We'll have to see how much is said about said kitten to see.

9:38 am

Vicuna

She's got a million pics on her flickr.

9:38 am

nDanLia

sorry, daughter kicked the computer

9:38 am

Haz1558

Vicuna has never been known to exaggerate.

9:38 am

FMitch

I would be forced to set the DoG on the usurper

9:38 am

Vicuna

Never.

9:39 am

Haz1558

LIke this morning. I claimed to be sarcastic by default, and Lori claimed that she had never known me to be sarcastic.

9:39 am

Vicuna

Never.

9:39 am

Vicuna

Inconceivable!

9:39 am

Haz1558

Record sticking there a bit, Vi.

9:40 am

FMitch

and thrice ... Nover! *grin*

9:40 am

Vicuna

I can't help it if you regale us with a series of neversome things!

9:40 am

Haz1558

Her faith was touching. Then again, maybe she was being sarcastic?

9:40 am

Vicuna

Never!

9:40 am

Haz1558

(Steadies for another round of...)

9:41 am

FMitch

*kicks Vi to unstick her*

9:41 am

harpjane

ta7?

9:41 am

Vicuna

*rubs shin grumpily*

9:42 am

FMitch

oo thats one I don't have harp ..

9:42 am

nDanLia

late + not off

9:42 am

Haz1558

Look at harpjane's dedication. She wants to get this grid done so that she can get started on 'Frosty the snowman'

9:42 am

fuquayvarina

ta7=ta5 above it+not off

9:42 am

Vicuna

Poor harp, actually trying to find words!

9:42 am

FMitch

Sorry Vi did't mean to do it that hard

9:42 am

amelu0218

ta7, add "not under but **" to the 5 prior to it...

9:42 am

nDanLia

the bu7 will unstick most things

9:43 am

Vicuna

Hmmm... no def on that wierdo.

9:43 am

harpjane

lol haz, and TECHNICALLY for churches Christmas season does not start untill Dec 25

9:43 am

harpjane

um, i guess i need the ta5 then....

9:43 am

Haz1558

Ah yes, TECHNICALLY, but we all know what TECHNICALLY means.

9:43 am

nDanLia

i hate seeing everything tossed on the 26th; we keep the Jan little date

9:44 am

fuquayvarina

if you're late, you're ta5

9:44 am

Vicuna

NO chance of your being ta5 for Christmas, harp.

9:44 am

Haz1558

(QUick, what does TECHNICALLY mean for a church musician?)

9:44 am

FMitch

As I am missing a few ta's I will have to come back to the 7 later

9:44 am

nDanLia

the ten oclick scholar

9:44 am

nDanLia

*oclock even

9:44 am

harpjane

as wayne said when garth was late, "ta7"

9:44 am

Haz1558

ta5 - rhymes with Laurel's comedy friend

9:44 am

Vicuna

lol, harp.

9:44 am

Uneaixoise

fab clue, harp! LOL

9:45 am

nDanLia

lol harp

9:45 am

Haz1558

Hello Une. Still keeping Rafa close to your heart?

9:45 am

harpjane

we're singing "The First Noel" in January, when stores have put up the Valentine's decorations..

9:45 am

Uneaixoise

sigh . . . yea . . .

9:45 am

hurshy

it's hazzy-doody time, it's hazzy-doody time!

9:46 am

Haz1558

Hello hurshy - did you miss me?

9:46 am

harpjane

The four weeks leading up to Dec 25 are ADVENT not Christmas, except in the retail world....

9:46 am

hurshy

of course!

9:46 am

harpjane

speaking of ta5, i have to go to work now

9:46 am

FMitch

Oh please - who on earth started this Christmas discussion?

9:47 am

Haz1558

That's nice! Only being mildly attached to babble meant that I missed everyone slightly as well.

9:47 am

Vicuna

It's all HAZ's fault!

9:47 am

Haz1558

Wasn't it you, FMitch?

9:47 am

harpjane

I'm reading books about 6th Century Ireland and even THEY had debates about how to celebrate holidays!

9:47 am

Haz1558

I'm sure FMitch said something about it and then everybody joined in.

9:47 am

FMitch

Ahhhh I should have know it was Haz
Moi ... I was on the phone

9:48 am

Vicuna

HAZ HAZ HAZ HAZ!

9:48 am

Haz1558

For debates in 6th century Ireland, read bloodbaths.

9:48 am

FMitch

*Thinks: Vi has been drinking my coffee*

9:48 am

nDanLia

the alst to die won

9:48 am

hurshy

but i thought everything was fmitch's fault

9:48 am

Haz1558

So, moving quickly on. Have you heard that FMitch is going to be one of the runners when the Olympic torch comes to London?

9:48 am

hurshy

did i miss a babble revolution?

9:49 am

Vicuna

"Good point" conceded the monk as the sword stuck out through the back of him.

9:49 am

nDanLia

fm was busy snapping photos of athletes in the loo

9:49 am

Haz1558

No, everything can be traced back to FMitch eventually.

9:49 am

FMitch

'Fraid not hurshy but just occasionally I try to approtion the blame elsewhere

9:49 am

harpjane

well i'm half way, i'll just leave babble land and sing christmas tunes under my breath at work all day....

9:49 am

harpjane

you can all blame me cuz i'll be gone now

9:49 am

Vicuna

Okay, Haz. I'll admit. You may have been the proximal cause, but I'm sure it was FM ultimately.

9:49 am

FMitch

lol harp, have a good day

9:50 am

Haz1558

At least you'll sing those tunes tunefully, harp. Would that the same could be said for all babblers.

9:50 am

Vicuna

Farewell, harpjane! Let nothing you dismay!

9:50 am

Haz1558

Have a good King Wenceslas Day.

9:50 am

hurshy

free clue: rhodo******

9:50 am

Vicuna

*ignores Haz's paltry dig*

9:50 am

FMitch

I wonder if the foofy one is at Heathrow taking pics?

9:50 am

hurshy

i think that's not enough asterisks but you'll get the idea

9:50 am

Vicuna

Thanks, hursh!

9:51 am

SamanthaJoy

Phantom: Detonate

9:51 am

Vicuna

And hello, of course, by the way.

9:51 am

Haz1558

He's bound to be, FMitch. Foofy ones gather like birds of a feather.

9:52 am

FMitch

Haz, talking of F words - there were many punters fossicking at the car boot yesterday in the rain. I was impressed that it hadn't been cancelled.

9:52 am

Haz1558

And was the fossicking of a high standard?

9:52 am

hurshy

fossicking?

9:52 am

Haz1558

I knew it!

9:53 am

Haz1558

I knew you would like the sound of a new word, hurshy.

9:53 am

Kazzer99

afternoon - i am back for the final 48

9:53 am

FMitch

Yup - means to look for .. with profit in mind

9:53 am

hurshy

did you guys just make it up?

9:53 am

Haz1558

Hello Kazzer - feeling any more limber?

9:53 am

FMitch

No - it is a real word, hails back to the old days of gold mining.

9:53 am

Haz1558

As if we would have the imagination to make up new words.

9:53 am

Kazzer99

a little bit but its better if I dont sit still for too long

9:53 am

Vicuna

Hello, Kazzer.

9:53 am

hurshy

ok wait, i still don't get this sentence at all though. punters as in, punting on the thames? why are they at a car boot and what was not cancelled?

9:54 am

FMitch

ROFL!!!!

9:54 am

Haz1558

You'd better stand to babble, Kazzer.

9:54 am

FMitch

OK.....

9:54 am

Kazzer99

punters is another word for people buying things and no haz i am not standing to do babble

9:55 am

Haz1558

Punters as in people who are customers. They were at a car boot sale (like a garage sale) hoping to find treasure among the dross.

9:55 am

FMitch

Eloquently put Haz

9:55 am

Haz1558

And if it was raining it wouldn't have been very pleasurable but sometimes the desire to fossick outweighs weather conditions.

9:55 am

hurshy

ok, then i have learned three new british terms!

9:55 am

Kazzer99

usually its just more dross to add to piles i alredy have - i love car boot sales

9:55 am

hurshy

a banner day

9:56 am

Haz1558

I could be employed to explain things to people, couldn't I? But nothing technical, please.

9:56 am

FMitch

Me too Kazz, both as a seller and a punter

9:56 am

lizmac

I went to a car boot yesterday, and won a bottle of whisky in a tombola!!

9:56 am

Haz1558

Fossicking is pretty new to us, but since FMitch reintroduced it, we're determined to use it at every opportunity.

9:56 am

Kazzer99

good on you liz

9:57 am

nDanLia

that's the spirit

9:57 am

hurshy

oh no, what's a tombola?

9:57 am

Kazzer99

i love the word fossicking - its cinjures visions of folks poking away at wierd and wonderful stuff

9:57 am

FMitch

Over to you Haz

9:57 am

lizmac

Usually it's one of these tiny bottles of fluorescent pop that I win.

9:57 am

Haz1558

Poor hurshy. We're confusing you today.

9:57 am

Vicuna

lol, hurshy! I hope you're taking no4's!

9:58 am

FMitch

It is almost an onomatopoeic word isn't it?

9:58 am

Kazzer99

a tombola is like a raffle prize draw where all the tickets are put in a tub on a spindle and they are drawn out

9:58 am

hurshy

like with bingo

9:59 am

Kazzer99

similar

9:59 am

hurshy

tombola, tumbler with an accent?

9:59 am

Haz1558

There's a website to tell you how to organise one. It's a great way of recycling prizes that you have won on previous tombolas.

Spangle would allow herself to be taken, provided the hostage taker had a car.

10:20 am

Someone once stopped their car to ask me directions and she hopped in to the front.

10:28 am

MonkeyGames

For those following the weird antics of my workmates, today was relatively in order except for the argument I had with my boss about how to sit in a chair, the singing (he "sings along" with my classic rock station, but off-key, one or two words offset, and in Dinglish), and the attempt to keep my back warm with his hands, which I put a stop to immediately. But it was his birthday and he bought everyone pie (you treat other on your birthday here) and he was generally cheery.

10:28 am

Haz1558

Flosey, which were you needing?

Daycare doubles as nursery school here for parents who can't send them to the toddler-play-hall. He's been learning for two years about taking turns and eating in an orderly fashion and playing with others; now for the rest!

1:07 pm

MonkeyGames

Glad it's just a cold; hope you get better very quickly!

hi ice & here's my question... i've been using firefox and it's great except for one thing: when i try to play Scrabble in Wordscraper on Facebook, i get a message that says I must first load Flash player. When i try to load it, it says i have to close Firefox first. When I close firefox , and use internet explorer, i don't get the message to load Flash player.

3:54 pm

skheiny

is there not a link to load flash in firefox monkey? used to use that religiously...but doesn't work here in the UAE...

3:55 pm

icepyro

the flash player for firefox is different than the one for internet explorer. You will have to go to www.adobe.com and click on 'get flash player' and it will take you to a page that has a link to download and install. You have to close firefox, install and you should be good to go.

3:55 pm

lil*monkey

yes skeiny, when i click on the link, it keeps telling me i must close firefox first

3:56 pm

lil*monkey

THANK U ICE! i will try that

JBV

4:10 pm

icepyro

random drug testing here too

4:10 pm

lil*monkey

oh i thought it was a euphemism for bikini wax

4:10 pm

lil*monkey

thanks JBV

4:11 pm

nDanLia

you need an ouch ending for that

4:11 pm

lil*monkey

you have to get random drug testing in a geek job?

4:11 pm

lil*monkey

depube .... OUCH

4:11 pm

skheiny

no drug testing here, but no drugs available here in the UAE...but that's ok...last visit was a puff while rocking the "gange" (sp?) about 10 years ago...

4:12 pm

skheiny

hahahaha geek jobs are the worst/best for drug testing usually

4:12 pm

lil*monkey

my only drug use now is alcohol... thank the lord it's legal

4:12 pm

lil*monkey

really? i thought only health care jobs, and jobs with safety issues had random drug testing

4:12 pm

icepyro

ganji?

4:13 pm

icepyro

this casino randoms everyone

4:13 pm

lil*monkey

google says it's "gange" pronounced GAHN JA

4:13 pm

skheiny

yeah! monkey!!! but hubby and I have to travel 85k to buy alcohol...spend approx. $450/US at a time...there are weird laws here regarding alcohol...

4:14 pm

missbeeze

hey all

4:14 pm

lil*monkey

why are you in the UAE, skeiny???

4:14 pm

lil*monkey

HI missbeez!!!!

4:14 pm

skheiny

welcome missB!!

4:14 pm

JBV

hi, skheiny - I always wondered about dubai - they are building all these super luxury hotels but do they serve liquor - who is their audience ? only muslims?

4:15 pm

skheiny

hubby is an electrical engineer/oil & gas///

4:15 pm

missbeeze

you are from grapevine?

4:15 pm

missbeeze

hey lil!

4:15 pm

icepyro

hi miss b

4:15 pm

missbeeze

i used to live right there!

4:15 pm

missbeeze

Hey Icy!

4:16 pm

lil*monkey

excuse my ignorance, skeiny, but do you have to cover yourself when you go out in public??? (I mean, cover head, face, hair, legs, etc)

4:16 pm

skheiny

JBV- the hotels have liquor licenses...but they are the only ones...regular resturaunt chains (a plenty here) do not...ONLY the hotels have liqour licenses

4:17 pm

missbeeze

So get this...i go to my office this morning - I run the office and am the GM - and i go in extra early - 5:30a.m. just because and all of my computer and everything, desk, personal stuff - all packed up and in boxes - yeah!

4:17 pm

lil*monkey

OMG watching a commerical for Prilosec and the spokesperson is Cheryl Ladd, remember she was a Charlie's Angel... she has had some BAD plastic surgery!!! One eye is slanted up! She looks freaky!

4:17 pm

JBV

oh, missbeeze! what happened?

4:17 pm

lil*monkey

whaaaaaaaaaaaaat mis beez? Are you fired?

4:18 pm

skheiny

It is proper to keep your legs covered (at least to your knees for biz attire) and it is not really approptiate to have "tank tops" unless you on on the beach

4:19 pm

missbeeze

so the owner and president came here to SC from FL yesterday and didn't call or anything and boxes up my whole office without warning and then i take all my stuff and he planned on me coming in and being there when i got there, but i beat him to the punch

4:19 pm

lil*monkey

OK thanks for that infor, skeiny

4:19 pm

missbeeze

So i left a note and told him he was backhanded and unprofessional and i would like an explanation and i took all my stuff and said i would be back later for the rest

4:19 pm

skheiny

sorry for all the misspells...typing fast isn't my forte :)

4:19 pm

missbeeze

then i tried to call him and the coward wouldn't answer his phone!

4:19 pm

lil*monkey

WOW missbeeze that is crazy

4:20 pm

missbeeze

I called 6 times and nothing, so i get in my car to drive back over and confront him and he does NOT want that

4:20 pm

JBV

missbeeze aren't you entitled to some notice at least? i that's really rotten

4:21 pm

missbeeze

so he finally realizes he better call me back, so he calls me back and tells me it is not personal, I did a good job, it is financial cut backs - LAME

4:21 pm

jillibus

isn't it illegal to fire someone without any notice?

4:21 pm

lil*monkey

that SO lame!

4:21 pm

missbeeze

he is a total loser - that is okay - i hated that job, and I knew something wasn't right, because he avoided communication w/me last week

4:22 pm

skheiny

MissB...maybe a dumb Q...but...was there a clue? Sounds like you're a smart one...

4:22 pm

missbeeze

i don't know Jilli - i told him i want a written documentation stating that i was terminated or let go for financial reasons and that he has agreed to pay me 2 wks severance pay

4:22 pm

lil*monkey

missbeeze, you are now entitled to unemployment compensation! TAKE IT! It will end up costing that company more than if you had stayed.

4:23 pm

jillibus

(hi -- been lurking)

4:23 pm

lil*monkey

you should get one week's severance pay for every year you worked there

4:23 pm

missbeeze

b/c he agreed to pay another girl that he made me fire 2 weeks severance and then she filed for unemployment and he wouldn't pay her the 2 wks because she filed

4:23 pm

JBV

missbeeze make sure to speak to someone to know your rights and get what you are entitled to

4:23 pm

missbeeze

I am going to file! I am waiting for the letter that says the agreement first - and then i'm taking it to unemployment

4:23 pm

lil*monkey

you are allowed the severance pay AND the unemployment

4:24 pm

lil*monkey

don't let anyone bully you! (not that it sounds like you would)

4:24 pm

missbeeze

i've already called the unemployment office and I called all of the customers i acquired on my own and let them know what he did today

4:24 pm

lil*monkey

KICK ASS, GIRL!!!!

4:24 pm

skheiny

DON'T WAIT FOR THE LETTER!!!

4:24 pm

lil*monkey

good for you, miss beez!

4:24 pm

lil*monkey

i agree with skeiny, file the unemployment right away

4:24 pm

missbeeze

because he will continue getting business with those accounts i brought to his company =- 4 of them

4:25 pm

lil*monkey

what kind of company is it?

4:25 pm

missbeeze

well he said he did not pay a girl the 2 weeks he promised her b/c she filed unemployment though

4:25 pm

missbeeze

a transportation/freight broker

4:25 pm

missbeeze

i want to make sure i get both

4:26 pm

lil*monkey

get that check right away, then!

4:26 pm

lil*monkey

he is just being a bully... he does not have a legal leg to stand on

4:26 pm

missbeeze

i am - i have already told them i want something with the terms of my discharge right away in writing, if i don't get it by tomorrow morning, i will go ahead and file

4:27 pm

lil*monkey

good 4 u, missb

4:27 pm

skheiny

are you still in the office? (sorry, missed a bit of the chat...p-break)....you can still back up your emails/logs/etc...? maybe/hopefully?

4:27 pm

missbeeze

no, i can't get anything

4:28 pm

lil*monkey

can u get into that account from your home computer?

4:28 pm

skheiny

ooooh. sorry honey...got friends there that can? maybe?

4:28 pm

missbeeze

i tried right away i wish....i had a lot of my email contacts saved, but that is all - i don't have access or remote way to get any of it - it was an outlook account on a server- i have been blocked from my remote connection

4:29 pm

skheiny

those just as cranky/overworked/underpaid?

4:29 pm

lil*monkey

oh good idea... can u use a friend's login ???

4:30 pm

missbeeze

i was the only person in the office, i ran the office by myself, that was part of the problem, i had no support - he made me fire the only support person i had - the one he didn't pay her the 2 wks that he told me to tell her we would pay her - then she emailed me asking for it and i had to tell her we weren't paying it b/c she filed unemployment

4:30 pm

lil*monkey

it's just so shocking how coldblooded people/companies can be! who were we talking with a week or so ago, whose husband got fired because he hurt his back? Was that Nance's husband???

4:31 pm

skheiny

yikes! an office of one...sorry honey...

4:31 pm

missbeeze

i think it was Nance's husband lil...i've never been treated this way - i'm gonna make sure it is known though - he is not going to be able to make it sound like it was just financial thing and brush it over

4:31 pm

JBV

Sorry to hear you are going through this, missbeeze

4:32 pm

lil*monkey

everyone! gather 'round for a group hug of MissBeeze, and everyone send good karma her way (please) :)

4:32 pm

missbeeze

thanks JBV - i have a great support in my husband - he has been great today - he is just like telling me you deserve so much better and don't let it get you down - something better is in store - take time and find something that makes you happy

4:32 pm
