morning all, back from assessment doctor

3:52 am

Andree

hi sprite, how did you go

3:53 am

Aussieme

Hey Spritey !! {{a million hugs for Spritey}}

3:54 am

sprite

it was the same unkind doctor who declared me almost completely healthy 3 years ago. But he was not really unkind this time, seemed to take me seriously now. He expects that for now I will be found completely unable to work, if the employment expert agrees. And he wants me back for a new assessment in 6 - 12 months.

3:54 am

sprite

thanks for those hugs, I really need them :)

3:56 am

dizgrannie

YAHOO!!! me did it again...don't have pro so don't get the sparklies..LOL

3:56 am

lynxxx

hi Sprite - and you are still in one piece which is good! do you need to see the employment expert now or has that already been done?

3:56 am

sprite

*S*P*A*R*K*L*I*E*S* for dizgrannie

3:56 am

dizgrannie

TY sprite

3:56 am

lynxxx

Congrats DizG

3:57 am

Andree

yay diz

3:59 am

sprite

no, I need to see that expert pretty soon, I expect. After that, it will be decided how much benefit I am going to get. Not sure about the one piece, actually, I am stressed out and filled with cotton thingies ;)

4:01 am

sprite

did I tell my work has neglected to register my being sick since 2 years with the personnel department? THey are rushing things now, so I expect to hear from that expert this week or next.

4:02 am

lynxxx

Just take (and enjoy) one day at a time Sprite, thats all any of us can do. I do hope they can fast track this for you

4:03 am

Andree

good luck sprite and keep your chin up and try not to get too stressed

4:04 am

sprite

good advice, lyn. And yes, I think the rushing might not be that bad, now that the dreaded assessment is over for now. All in all things seem to go as best as they can. All your good thoughts really help. Do I sound crazy when I say I could feel people thinking of me and supporting me?

4:04 am

Andree

I am off to have some dinner now , happy babbling everyone

4:04 am

sprite

thanks Andree. Worst stress is over now, this is the reaction. I'll be death warmed up for the next couple of days, but that will pass.

4:04 am

sprite

enjoy dinner, Andree

4:06 am

lynxxx

bye Andree

4:07 am

westford

hello sprite and everyone

4:08 am

sprite

hi west, *hug* How are you today?

4:08 am

westford

I'm good got a late start but laundry is almost done

4:08 am

sprite

good job, west

4:08 am

lynxxx

colly woobles Sprite? an Australian and UK expression - means an upset stomach or butterflies/nervous.

4:08 am

westford

sprite I read the chat as I came in were you injured at work?

4:09 am

lynxxx

hi West

4:09 am

westford

hi lyn

4:10 am

sprite

I like the expression, lynxxx! No, not really, more like somebody pulled the plug and all my energy has drawn away. Have been extremely stressed working up to the assessment, now the reaction.

4:10 am

sprite

west: in a manner of speaking. Broke down 2 years ago, after many years of working handicapped and not getting any help or consideration at work.

4:11 am

westford

oh too bad sprite sounds like things are finally on the right track for you

4:12 am

Aussieme

Sorry I went away abruptly.... my laptop had a hissy fit, and I had to reboot it !!

4:12 am

Aussieme

Westie !!!!

4:12 am

westford

hi aussie haven't seen you in awhile

4:12 am

sprite

am not really happy with the short term re-assessment, but that was to be expected. They don't like people getting a benefit here, they do all they can to get them working again. But we will cross that bridge over 6 - 12 months, for now it looks good.

4:12 am

westford

how's your little one?

4:13 am

sprite

wb Aussie

4:13 am

sprite

Caya seems to be a little better today. Still looks like a panda bear, but the deep black is now more like blue, and she is a little less tired.

4:14 am

Aussieme

She is fine West, thanks..... I been busy, really busy, working full-time and helping my Sister plan her wedding... she marries her long time partner next friday !

4:14 am

Aussieme

Oh Sprite..... {{a million hugs for Caya}}

4:15 am

sprite

sounds like a wonderful celebration of something good, Aussie. Lots of work, but worth it. :)

4:15 am

westford

sprite glad to hear caya is doing better; aussie best wishes to your sister is it going to be a quiet ceremony or a big bash??

4:16 am

sprite

lol, she is so muck like her mum... with that little bit more energy she is ready to jump off and go. Told her that she needs to use it for healing up further. That she can do a little bit more today, but with moderation and still lots of rest.

4:16 am

Aussieme

just a quiet ceremony, and then a big shin-dig afterwards, her Hubby-to-be is a Scotsman !

4:17 am

sprite

oh wow Aussie, special!

4:17 am

westford

oooh will he wear a kilt? I love men in kilts

4:17 am

Aussieme

finally, hatched, patched and dispatched the H's !!

4:17 am

4:18 am

westford

4:19 am

westford

4:19 am

lynxxx

4:25 am

westford

4:33 am

westford

I like all those extra vowels lol

4:33 am

hydra

You mean they don't use a dictionary with both spellings? Yet other words are allowed with both 'or' and 'our' endings. Grrrrrr!

4:34 am

4:34 am

westford

4:35 am

lynxxx

4:35 am

westford

flosey my father in law had the same trouble had to sleep in a recliner they finally figured out it was allergies

4:40 am

hydra

As if I would! He's curled up next to me as I type, still snoring. He makes me giggle. He's quite musical, with his trumpeting nose. At least it's not the other end!!!

Merk

5:40 am

Merk

This is the perfect time of year to make sweet and sour. Homegrown tomatoes ... yummy!

5:40 am

Merk

Did you know that you can also make sweet and sour fish?

5:41 am

westford

I wish I had some produce from the markets are poor quality

5:41 am

westford

fish is my favorite any way any time

5:42 am

Merk

fresh tomatoes, green peppers, onions ... all make it perfect. Tomatoes are always the hardest for me to find because I only have flower beds anymore. I have to depend on friends to drop off tomatoes.

5:43 am

westford

keep promising myself to put in a few tomato plants next spring for sure

5:44 am

westford

we've had so much rain they would be nice and plump

5:44 am

Jacula

Hi all. This recipe's nice with meat, fish, rice etc.

5:44 am

Jacula

Sweet & Sour Sauce * 1 small can pineapple juice (or juice from a 15-1/4 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained)
* 1/4 cup ketchup
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 1/4 cup vinegar
* 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
* 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or less)
* 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Preparation:
Mix all together and cook over medium heat until thickened. May be prepared in microwave in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave about 4-1/2 minutes on high or until thick, stirring every minute.

5:44 am

Merk

The lonely eq builds from another qu word.

5:45 am

westford

thanks jac you're so sweet ( not sour )

5:45 am

Jacula

Sadly, I'm the only one in our house who likes Sweet and Sour, indeed any sauces.:(

5:45 am

Merk

That sounds like a good recipe, Jacula, but I would suggest using fresh garlic.

5:46 am

Jacula

Merk - I do, but it's okay with the dried.

5:46 am

Merk

my poor hubby hated sweet and sour because he couldn't get past the pineapple, but his tastes have matured and now I can make it

5:46 am

westford

fresh garlic already chopped

5:47 am

Jacula

West - I qu5 like chopping garlic into tiny pieces - it's therapeutic.:)

5:47 am

westford

it is and dicing onions as well

5:48 am

Jacula

Other half likes tomato based pasta sauces I make but not cheese or sweet& sour ,or wine ones etc.

5:49 am

Jacula

I dunno West. I got a really strong onion the other day and once my eyes closed I had a hell of a job getting them open again.

5:49 am

westford

a pu 6/24 ?

5:49 am

Merk

garlic is excellent for your health

5:49 am

westford

vidalias are nice and mild

5:50 am

Jacula

Merk - I have to take care how much garlic I eat as it lowers blood pressure and I have naturally very love b/p.

5:50 am

Jacula

Garlic tonight, though - I'm making meatballs & spaghetti in a tomato-based sauce etc.

5:51 am

Jacula

Ver loW not love B/P. LOL!

5:52 am

Jacula

Yes, West, a pu6/24. 'Fruit belongs in a pie not on a dinner plate!' is his motto.

5:52 am

carleekat

oh..i had one of those jacs

5:53 am

Merk

And that is why I use garlic ... plus I get so much in China that I've grown to love it. Hey, I found two pu 6 words after westford's comment.

5:53 am

westford

my friend's husband won't eat casseroles want's everything separate

5:53 am

westford

happy to oblige merk lol

5:53 am

Jacula

West - My son's like that.

5:53 am

carleekat

i don't know how to make a casserole...I've never had one...

5:53 am

westford

5:54 am

Jacula

Carlee - I think we have a convo about that once, didn't we?

5:54 am

Merk

5:54 am

westford

5:54 am

carleekat

probably... I've just..never had one...

5:54 am

carleekat

I use a slow cooker for stews....

5:54 am

Jacula

Also good to chuck everything into one pot (or a slow cooker) and for it to be ready at the end of the day.

5:55 am

westford

same principle

5:55 am

carleekat

so how are things jacs?

5:55 am

westford

would you like my great grandmother's recipe for French Meat Pie carlee?

5:56 am

Jacula

Still doing a major tidy up of the house, carlee. Today's an ironing day, though.

5:56 am

carleekat

sure west..that would be cool

5:56 am

Jacula

How about you, Carlee? You okay?

5:57 am

Jacula

Recipe sounds interesting, provided it's not horse meat (being a French recipe).

5:57 am

carleekat

i am... fors first time in a REALLY long time...doing good...i saw my daughter's piano teacher last night..she took one look at me and said I ook 5 years younger

5:57 am

carleekat

5:57 am

westford

5:57 am

Jacula

That's a compliment we all like to hear, Carlee.:)

5:58 am

carleekat

i had no idea I looked so haggard...

5:58 am

westford

great grandfather was a lumberjack and she cooked for the camp

5:58 am

Jacula

I've got some leftover cooked beef and ham I was thinking of making a pie with tomorrow.

5:59 am

westford

5:59 am

carleekat

good ..cus my son an dhis buddies might look like lumberjacks..i don't want to feed a camp of them

6:00 am

westford

lumberjacks always make me think of Monty Python lol

6:00 am

Jacula

(Imagines giant pie with cow horns sticking out of the crust.)

6:00 am

westford

6:01 am

westford

I'll email it carlee follow directions it's weird

*waiting to copy the recipe.*

6:07 am

Jacula

Now, why can't we put an 'f' in front of an5/14 (not the feathered one)? Obviously Enable has never heard of new-fan**** words.

6:11 am

Merk

I'm eating my oatmeal while I babble so I don't miss the upcoming meat pie recipe. Nothing like eating breakfast and drooling over the thought of dinner.

6:11 am

westford

6:12 am

westford

see I told you it was weird

6:13 am

westford

all the fat gets cooked out of the meat and it doesn't affect the flavor

6:13 am

Jacula

Are the measurements for the meat in lbs?

6:13 am

Gail

I'm eating hot buttered toast (homemade bread) and grape tomatoes from my neighbor's garden. That pie sounds wonderful!

6:13 am

redturtlehead

Morning, it looks good Westford.

6:13 am

westford

yes # = pounds

6:14 am

Jacula

Thanks West. I'll make that soon.

6:14 am

carleekat

6:14 am

westford

hi gail and red it is good been in the family for generations

6:14 am

westford

yes carlee it's good with all beef too

6:15 am

carleekat

great..I will try it maybe this weekend

6:15 am

Jacula

Hi Gail.

6:15 am

redturtlehead

Wow, I was just reminded by TV that it is 9/11. I can not help but remember I was duh, at the gym, looking at it on TV and initially thought that someone had left a bad movie on TNT.....

6:15 am

Merk

cinnamon ... interesting

6:15 am

carleekat

oh..so it is... ok..glad I don't have tv on...

6:16 am

westford

sad day husband was working less than a mile from the Pentagon

6:16 am

Jacula

Yes, I was up at midnight when the clock changed and thought of the date.

6:16 am

Jacula

I wondered about the cinnamon, too, Merk.

6:16 am

Merk

Thanks, Westford. I'm printing it off and putting it in my 3 ring binder.

6:17 am

westford

good Merk we like it with catsup some people like a brown gravy with it

6:17 am

carleekat

cinnamon great with meat

6:17 am

Jacula

Either sounds good, West.

6:18 am

westford

I usually make candied or parsley carrots to serve with

6:18 am

Merk

the fe 7 has the same ending as the an 9

6:18 am

carleekat

I think I would be inclined to add beef boulian when cooking the meet and let it simmer down into the meat..since not adding pork and the flavour that pork brings to meat

6:19 am

westford

good idea carlee I'll try that next time

6:19 am

carleekat

and some wine too

6:19 am

westford

no

6:19 am

carleekat

a nice full bodied red wine

6:19 am

carleekat

and cook it all down...

6:19 am

carleekat

no liquid left...

6:20 am

westford

won't be the same

6:20 am

Jacula

I usually make new recipes as shown on first time out and then adapt to our tastes in subsequent makings. My recipe books are full of my notes and scibbles in the margins.

6:20 am

Jacula

*scribbles.

6:21 am

carleekat

I typically cook most meats with wine ( as I have an abundance of it in my house..up to 240 bottles in wine cellar )

6:21 am

westford

I do that too

6:21 am

Jacula

None of us is keen on meat with wine/beer etc.

6:21 am

westford

wow carlee and we think we're doing well if we have 10 bottles lol

6:22 am

Jacula

Well, not IN the food. In a glass with the food is a different matter.:)

6:22 am

carleekat

I work in a wine store west

6:22 am

carleekat

I make the wine

6:22 am

westford

we have a glass of wine with dinner just about every night

6:23 am

westford

sounds like an ideal job carlee

6:23 am

westford

we opened a bottle of peach wine the other night and it was bad

6:24 am

carleekat

and every day I filter wine ( tues and thur )... there 2-3 bottles worth of the last wine that went thorugh the system in my filter......we are supposed to throw out... but I pull it out..run through a coffee filter to remove some of the residual sediment.....and then I bottle for myself...

6:24 am

westford

I was really looking forward to it

6:24 am

carleekat

turn it into vinegar for salad dressings

6:25 am

westford

too late husband dumped it wish I had thought of that

6:25 am

Jacula

Hmm, that's another thing Other Half doesn't like - salad dressings. I have to put mine on afterwards.

6:25 am

westford

the cork was all icky

6:25 am

carleekat

today..the last wine on my filter list is a nice shiraz..so tonight I will comehome wiht 2 or 3 bottles of shiraz :)

6:26 am

westford

I think that's my favorite red

6:26 am

carleekat

my husband never liked salad dressing either..until I made one my girlfriend's mum always made

6:26 am

carleekat

tuesday I came home wiht 3 bottles of cab shiraz

6:26 am

Jacula

Sounds interesting, carlee.

6:26 am

Jacula

(The salad dressing, I meant.)

6:27 am

carleekat

juice of 1 lemon whisked to death inolive oil ( emulsify it )

6:27 am

Jacula

I like that, carlee but he won't.

6:27 am

carleekat

add 1 clove crushed garlic, salt..pepper and an equal ammount of quality vinegar as u had lemon juice..whisk..and pour

6:28 am

6:35 am

TY, Annie. I will spend the next year preparing to be 50 next Sept 8th. I want to have an attitude of gratitude and not moan and groan as most people do.

6:36 am

carleekat

6:36 am

Anniebrook

I make a salad dressing with rice vinegar too

6:36 am

6:36 am

carleekat

6:37 am

Eva

annie-could you give the recipe? I have had a rice vinegar dressing in a restaurant and loved it, but never found the recipe/

6:37 am

westford

scrab 50 is wonderful ( from an almost 63 yr old )

6:38 am

carleekat

i don't know I am enjoying the tail end of 41....like I haven't for oh..about 15 years

6:38 am

Jacula

Well, I survived 50 - I'm 51 now.

6:38 am

Anniebrook

I use olive oil, granulated garlic to your taste, oregano, rice vinegar, pepper, salt and whisk, whisk, whisk

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Westford, my 40's have been wonderful--liberating, enjoyable...I finally have some wisdom to manage the chaleneges of life.

6:38 am

Jacula

Went to Amsterdam to see the bulb fields etc., for my 50th.

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Yippee for Carlee!

Eva

6:39 am

Anniebrook

From my perpective of 74, you gals are young, make the most of it and enjoy

6:39 am

Scrabbler

At least it is memorable, westford.

6:39 am

Jacula

For my 40th, I had a day trip to Iceland (the country not the freezer centre).

6:39 am

westford

every age has new delights

6:40 am

carleekat

i won't tell u about my 40th... it would sound like am bitching... suffice to say..was typical

6:40 am

Eva

I'll be 59 in a couple of months. Seems quite unbelievable sometimes, but not bad at all.

6:40 am

westford

we took her daughter to college and on the way back we stopped to get gas in a little town in NY and she told the attendant we were Thelma and Louise

6:40 am

carleekat

there are "day trips" to iceland?

6:40 am

Jacula

Yes, Carlee. We're only a short flight away here in UK.

6:41 am

carleekat

ok....good to know I suppose

6:41 am

redturtlehead

OK, I feel young, thanks all.

6:41 am

Scrabbler

westford, what did the attendant say/do?

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Poor RTH, being young.

6:41 am

westford

he just looked at us and laughed

6:41 am

Eva

Steeling myself to go and look at th garden. It was quite cold last night and I'm afraid my basil may not have made it. Lots of pesto in the freezer already, but one can never have enough.

6:42 am

redturtlehead

Its a terrible burden, but I will bear it.

6:42 am

Jacula

Did you both have your headscarves and sunglasses on, West?

6:42 am

westford

well how young are you?

6:42 am

carleekat

I've never developed a taste for pesto

6:42 am

Jacula

LOL, Red.

6:42 am

periwinkle

how do you freeze pesto so that it doesn't get brown

6:42 am

Scrabbler

RTH, someday you will be older + wiser as we are, and I aspire to be like Annie someday.

6:43 am

westford

and we looked just like Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis

6:43 am

redturtlehead

Yes, I am older each day, it beats the alternative.

6:43 am

carleekat

sneezing fit...hurting ribs

6:43 am

Scrabbler

Yep, I would rather be getting older than be buried 6 feet under.

6:44 am

Anniebrook

Well, thank you, Scrabbler, I am touched

6:44 am

periwinkle

I have a sign posted near my computer: Do Not Regret Getting Older, It is a Privilege Denied to Many

6:44 am

westford

good one peri

6:44 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I like that one, Periwinkle.

6:44 am

Jacula

Wise words, peri.

6:44 am

periwinkle

I like it too

6:44 am

periwinkle

and it is very true

6:44 am

redturtlehead

Yes, exactly. It really is better than the alternative. though I would like to get younger at times.

6:45 am

FMitch

I've got the 'getting older bit' down to a tee - it's just the getting wiser part I keep missing out on :)
Hello all

6:45 am

Anniebrook

Today is a sad day...We are having a Memorial service for the victims of the WTC...We lost a wonderful man who lived in our apartment house who was a fireman

6:45 am

Scrabbler

Q is greyed out.

6:45 am

carleekat

ok..time toget ready for work... I have to go shopping for a long sleeved black bouse of a conservative nature... I have an islamic funeral to attend ( never done that before ) and I don't have appro top for my skirt

6:45 am

Jacula

Hi FM.

6:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I just read the front page of the newspaper before I came here.

6:45 am

Eva

I've never had the problem peri. But you have to make the pesto very soon after the basil is picked, so it is still bright green. Then I just dump it, and garlic, olive oil, any combo of pine nuts, pecans, walnuts that I'm in the mood for, and lots of very good parmesan reggiano, and freeze imeediately. Some batches stay a lighter green than others but they are all green. Some people just do the basil and oil and freeze it in ice cube trays to save freezer room and then ad the rest later.

6:45 am

westford

hi fmitch wise is not in my vocabulary

6:45 am

FMitch

Hello Jacs

Jacula

Other Half is due to have some hospital treatment soon and the notes said he had to have 'a responsible adult over 18' with him for 24 hours afterwards. I told him I can comply with the age bit but wasn't sure if I was yet the other.

FMitch

6:49 am

redturtlehead

Ohhhh, of course, I do not remember where I was during that, as I was not thought of yet. My Mom does though.

6:50 am

Jacula

I remember I was eating my tea in front of the TV when the newsflash came on. We were all very shocked.

6:50 am

carleekat

i was not born yet either

6:50 am

FMitch

I was in Paris this time 7 years ago on my way to the airport.

6:50 am

Eva

School was closed for days, and then there was the second shock of watching, on TV, as Oswald was shot and killed by Rubey.

6:51 am

redturtlehead

Ok, mst go get ready for some appointments...

6:51 am

FMitch

Bye red

6:51 am

Anniebrook

6:52 am

carleekat

later rth

6:52 am

Jacula

7 years' ago I remember the image of the first plane going into the tower and thinking it was an accident, until 2nd one ... I called my son downstairs and we watched events unfold in absolute horror. The image of people leaping from the building will always be etched on my mind.

6:52 am

westford

Eva I wish I had you next door your pesto sounds delicious

6:52 am

Jacula

'Bye red.

6:53 am

carleekat

i was online with friends in egypt...they had no idea was going on...I was basically reporting to them as it happened what was happening

6:53 am

westford

same here jac and they still can't find Bin Laden

6:53 am

Jacula

Not sure they ever will, West.

6:53 am

westford

I agree

6:54 am

Jacula

Well, I seem to have ground to a halt grid-wise. Time for a work break. BBL. Happy Babbling all.

6:54 am

Anniebrook

Later, Jacula

6:54 am

Eva

west-you do live almost next door. Come up to see the foliage in Vermont and I'll give you some pesto(-: You are so lucky to have a place in Maine. Where is it? That's the one thing I miss about being in Vermont. We used to go to Pemaquid point for a week every fall.

6:54 am

FMitch

Toodles Jacs

6:54 am

westford

don't work too hard and thanks for the sweet and sour

6:55 am

anawaltgal

I was at work listeing to a mother of a pilot, we were all in shock, her son was not flying that day. The real shock hit when we realized the other planes how the story unfolded. My son who is very ethnic looking was told to stay in his dorm at college in Florida. When he came home for

6:55 am

westford

thanks Eva our place is in Ogunquit so more NH

6:55 am

anawaltgal

christmas I couldn't stop hugging him.

6:55 am

westford

we've always talked about going to Vermont..never made it past Dublin

6:56 am

westford

oh ana

6:56 am

Anniebrook

westford, the first time I visited Ogunquit many years ago I fell in love with the place...it is lovely

6:57 am

westford

what part of Vermont?

6:57 am

Eva

7 years ago I had just quit my job and was on my way to a volunteer job at Franlin Park Zoo-something I had always wanted to do. When the news came on of the first plane something sounded very, very wrong. When the rest unfolded I was holding two orphaned baby possums and can remember crying and talking to the possums about how lucky they were not to be human, and how no other animal ws capable of our level of insanity. Or at least not with opposable thumbs and a large prefrontal cortex capable of putting the insanity into such terrible action.l Really I think that humans are not such a great experiment.

6:57 am

westford

Ogunquit is lovely but being over built like every place else

6:58 am

Eva

west-Ogunquit is beautiful. We are near Montpelier-north central.

6:59 am

westford

our brother in law's children are in St Albans

6:59 am

westford

Eva we're the only mammals who wage war..

7:00 am

Eva

I know-I hadn't been there in a long time and when I drove north to MOnhegan I ws shocked by the huge build up of the factory outlets. St Albans is way, way out there.....do they like it?

7:00 am

westford

I suppose so that's all they've ever known

7:01 am

westford

when his sister comes to visit she always stops by Cabot and brings us delicious cheese

7:01 am

Scrabbler

I am back--computer is updated and rebooted. DOn't you hate it when a window pops up: The updates have completed but you must restart your computer.

7:01 am

Eva

It's not that I think that other animals are so much purer emotionally than we are....if they could wage organized war, they probably would. But I wish that nature would arrange for some sort of developmental screening process where one's technical abilities could not exceed one's wisdom.

7:01 am

Anniebrook

I was looking out my living room window when I saw this huge cloud that looked like dust around the Twin Towers. I face the city. I turned on my TV and watched in horror. I still can't believe it.

7:02 am

Eva

Do you live in the city Annie? I grew up there, and my brother still lives there, but I left in 67.

7:03 am

westford

that must have been horrible annie my husband was working temporarily less than a mile from the Pentagon they heard the explosion before they knew what was going on I was home in MA

7:03 am

Scrabbler

To have been witnessing that horror in person on 9/11/01 is awful.

7:03 am

Anniebrook

I live in Brooklyn and I have a complete view of the city about 15 miles away.

7:04 am

Scrabbler

My friend that works for Verizon was in their Manhattan office and saw everything happen.

7:04 am

Eva

my sister-in-law worked at 1 Financial Plaza. She has never been able to talk about it much. Except for the hours it took her and a crowd of fellow travelers to walk their way home on the upper west side.

7:06 am

Anniebrook

Eva, how awful! I was far enough away and was affected by what I was witnessing. I cant imagine being down there. My friends daughter walked down 82 flights of stairs. Her boss told everyone to get out as soon as it happened. He saved her life.

7:07 am

westford

there were a lot of heroes that day

7:07 am

Scrabbler

For sure, Westford!

7:08 am

Eva

Annie I didn't realize until just now that after that day, when I finally reached them and found out they wre okay, we have never talked about it again. I think I'll go out, check the basil, take a wallk and just take in some of these memories and feelings. See you later.

7:09 am

Anniebrook

Later, Eva and say a prayer for the ones that were lost.

7:09 am

Eva

I'll say one for them and for all sentient beings.

7:10 am

westford

8:38 am

you are pretty inland... just make sure cell phone is charge, you have alternate light source if electricty goes out, a little food you don't have to cook... and you'll be fine... water is mostly for areas with flooding where sources can become contaminated

8:38 am

eieios

we are pretty far inland, but this is a big/wide storm, so apparently we are in for some hard wind and rain even here.

8:39 am

eieios

where are you, kje?

8:39 am

kje

yes, we'll just get wind and some rain... but bad storms are kinda common here... it should be down to a tropical depression by the time it hits us

A fire broke out Thursday in the tunnel under the English Channel but all passengers are safe, Eurotunnel officials said.

They were evacuated through a service tunnel, the officials said.

Traffic was suspended by the fire which broke out on the French end of the tunnel.

The Associated Press reported 32 people were aboard a shuttle train transporting trucks where the fire broke out on the London-Paris service.

He expects I will get full disability benefits, if the employment expert agrees with him. And he declared I cannot work more than 10 hours a week, so that is very low.

11:35 am

hurshy

i doubt they will bring it up then caitlyn, so i'd go with just not mentioning it!

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

cait - do you think they will mentin it? not exactly a topic of dinner convo

11:35 am

sprite

I would leave it with "This must be very hard for you" and words like that, cait. And not going into the matter.

11:36 am

periwinkle

hurshy, have you been watching ANTM?

11:36 am

hurshy

yes peri :)

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

hi husrh. bye all i have to go now.

11:36 am

AsGreen

are you an outgoing opinionated person (like me, which could get you into trouble)? or can it just be hidden in the dark recesses of the evening?

11:36 am

caitlyn

They will mention it as they have done to the others in our group

11:36 am

hurshy

hiya and biya TO

11:36 am

11:36 am

Vicuna

Bye. Whatever.

11:36 am

leighprefect

Caitlyn: Good question, really tough. Hmm....I say try to brush it off with a quick comment if they bring it up. Something about being sorry that they are facing such a tough time, and that you feel that in the end, everything will work out as it should.

11:36 am

leighprefect

BYE TO!!

11:37 am

sprite

11:37 am

caitlyn

Bye TO

11:37 am

11:37 am

sprite

11:38 am

Vicuna

Bye, sprite.

11:38 am

FMitch

AsGreen

ooooh, excellent pb word! lol

AsGreen

including mine caitlyn? lol

11:39 am

leighprefect

Cait: Good luck! And you could also talk to someone else you know will be there, and maybe come up with a signal between you so you can save each other from the uncomfortable conversation if necessary.

11:39 am

FMitch

I can't add much to what has already been said cait.

11:40 am

caitlyn

LOL

11:40 am

AsGreen

ok, here's my parenting q of the day - it's long, so bear with....

11:40 am

Vicuna

Say, "NO!" Oh, wait. She hasn't asked yet.

11:40 am

caitlyn

Im frightened now!!LOL

11:41 am

caitlyn

Thank you all babble buddies

11:41 am

FMitch

(((cait)))

11:41 am

AsGreen

my almost 10 year old son was playing at a friend's house "until 5:30" which worked out well since my daughter and I had an errand to do. at 5pm I got home and he rode by on his bike (which he hadn't had when he left), then came up and said, "I'm so frustrated. We rode all the way to Towne Deli and Casey (the friend) had dropped his money!"....

11:42 am

AsGreen

so... a) he came home and got his bike, b) they rode on a BUSY road to a "hangout" - ooooh shooot, doorbell, brb

11:44 am

caitlyn

We are all waiting for the rest of the problem

11:44 am

Vicuna

The suspense is killing us.

11:44 am

westford

while we're waiting..Caitlyn are you the scout leader who did Anne of Green Gables with your troop?

11:44 am

Judi

Afternoon, cats and kittens. Ooh. Someone is going to be grounded.

11:44 am

caitlyn

LOL west, not me

11:45 am

caitlyn

Hi Judi

11:45 am

FMitch

That was carleekat west

11:45 am

Vicuna

Was that carleekat maybe?

11:45 am

westford

oh too bad wondered how it turned out

11:45 am

leighprefect

Hey Judi

11:45 am

Vicuna

Oh, I guess it was! lol

11:45 am

westford

oh that could be

11:45 am

FMitch

lol

11:45 am

hurshy

i remember she told me all about it, it went very well.

11:45 am

westford

swapped recipes with her this a.m.

11:46 am

caitlyn

I could do caitlyn under waterLOL

11:46 am

westford

that was so clever wish we had done something similar back in the dark ages when I was a scout leader

11:46 am

FMitch

Vi is bead princess still beading or has the novelty worn off yet?

11:46 am

AsGreen

wow, that was bad timing, let me scroll back

11:46 am

kje

OK, back. Just wanted to email Autumn a thank you

11:47 am

westford

must make lunch but won't go until I hear the rest lol

11:47 am

redturtlehead

Afternoon all, letting lunch digest before long gym session.

11:47 am

caitlyn

Hi red

11:48 am

westford

all appointments done red?

11:48 am

Vicuna

She's slowed down a fair bit, FM. She was back to her papercrafting. But there are quite a few bracelets waiting for me to do the finishing up knots, and she's been nagging me quite a bit to do them, so she's still pretty into it.

11:48 am

AsGreen

so, anyway, he didn't even get the bad part... he said to me, "I was going to call you but Casey said it was ok, he had money" - how crazy -

11:48 am

redturtlehead

Hi Caitlyn.

11:48 am

kje

ASG - just read back... continue

11:48 am

westford

three letter word asgreen he's a BOY

11:48 am

redturtlehead

Yes, no more for the week. Whoo Hoo.

11:49 am

AsGreen

so, I very calmly explained to him that a 9 year old should NOT be coming and getting his bike, and taking a ride into town to buy snacks without telling his "mommy"

11:49 am

kje

that is normal for him not to get why you'd be upset... his important issue was money for junk... yours is safety... clearly you 2 do not think alike - LOL

11:49 am

caitlyn

Did his friends mum know they were out on their bikes?And is he road safe?

11:49 am

leighprefect

AsG- Just out of curiosity, where in Jersey are you?

11:49 am

redturtlehead

Oh ASG, I am glad he is OK.

11:49 am

AsGreen

to which he replied, as calmly, "well, I was going to call, but as I said, Casey had $$, and besides, if I had called, MOM, would you have let me?"

11:49 am

Vicuna

Probably better that he doesn't realize it's bad than that he knows it's bad and hopes to get away with it anyway.

11:50 am

westford

someday he will give you 2 darling granddaughters ( mine did ) lol

11:50 am

AsGreen

I'm in Summit Leigh

11:50 am

kje

LOLOL - smart kid - LOLOL

11:50 am

hurshy

ah, the classic vanessa problem.

11:50 am

Vicuna

Mmmm... well, he may begin verging into option two, there, then...

11:50 am

AsGreen

so, parents, I KNOW that I have to let him grow up, BUT, I do think 9 (well, almost 10) is too young to be off "shopping for snacks"... I MAKE GREAT snacks

11:51 am

caitlyn

LOL green

11:51 am

kje

agree asg - he must let you know where he is

11:51 am

leighprefect

AsG-Maybe just explain to him that you'd like for him to inform you of where he is.

11:51 am

Vicuna

I don't think the snacks are the point, AsGreen!

11:51 am

redturtlehead

Asg last summer I saw two kids in a gas station in town with about 5 or 6 dollars they made from mowing lawns or something...they were so funny, picking and choosing junk and calculating how much they could get....

11:51 am

kje

re; snacks... come on... you are nowhere near as fun as the deli at that age

11:52 am

AsGreen

(I'm definitely being a little tongue in cheek), but seriously, I don't like him going off - and I won't get him a cell phone until middle school....

11:52 am

redturtlehead

It was entertaining, but of course he needed to let you know where he was!

11:52 am

kje

nope... real issue asg - 9 is not that old

11:53 am

caitlyn

What does the other mum think about what happened?

11:53 am

leighprefect

Because, if you had have assumed that he was at his friend's house, and something bad happened....Well, I won't finish. Don't like thinking in any way like that,

11:53 am

kje

hold a sec - I think there are foreigners in my backyard...

11:53 am

AsGreen

I was joking about the snacks part.... but anyway, my other issue is that part of the way to get there is a very busy double line road with curves and no lights... it's dangerous

11:53 am

leighprefect

Maybe suggest another place to go instead to get their treats?

11:53 am

redturtlehead

I am glad he is OK, the road would be what bothered me too.

11:54 am

Judi

So, AsGreen. Did you ground his little wandering butt?

11:54 am

kje

ground him ground him gorund him...

11:54 am

AsGreen

and the friend, who is a GOOD kid, has parents with MUCH different values than I do. the mom is "home" but has a rotating staff if you know what I mean....and not much supervision.

11:54 am

caitlyn

Our junior scholle always give bike safety lessons does your school do that?

11:54 am

redturtlehead

what in the yard kje?

11:55 am

caitlyn

School!!

11:55 am

leighprefect

AsG-On the bright side...At least he was with friends. Explain NEVER to do it alone.

11:55 am

kje

next door... men working, not sure of the language, but not spanish which is most common around here... also hae a large west african pop - it may be one of those dialects

11:55 am

Vicuna

Ah well, wandering off to other pursuits for a while. In light of the conversation, I'll be sure to call if I decide to go anywhere else. Farewell, all!

11:56 am

caitlyn

Bye Vi see you soon

11:56 am

westford

you'd better vi lol

11:56 am

kje

friends is not the bottom issue - going without permission is the issue... even dangerous road is not for him to judge... that is why he asks

11:56 am

AsGreen

I didn't ground him this time - he saw how upset I was and started crying, "you don't believe me but I WAS going to call you"... to which I replied, "but, you didn't.... and know that you know, you may never do that again...so you aren't in trouble this time, but now you know (again) that our rules are different," yada yada yada

11:56 am

Judi

BBL, lunch.

11:56 am

kje

bye vi... where are you going?

11:56 am

AsGreen

Vi - NO HANGOUTS EITHER - I make GREAT snacks if you want to pop over!

11:56 am

redturtlehead

Kids are hard. I want a snack, but I just had a rather unhealthy lunch.

11:57 am

kje

thang is not a word

11:57 am

Vicuna

(I'll just be at home, I promise!)

11:57 am

kje

wild thang..... you make my heart sang.... you make everything....

11:57 am

AsGreen

anyway.... that's my week so far

11:57 am

AsGreen

kje, are the guys cute? lol

11:57 am

kje

mean mommie

11:58 am

westford

lunch time here too then I have to get a new driver's license

11:58 am

kje

nope

11:58 am

AsGreen

ok, well call me before going out so I can say no and humiliate you in front of your friends

11:58 am

westford

hoping I can just turn the old one in

11:58 am

kje

that was for the thang word which doesn't exist... it just popped into my head after that

11:58 am

redturtlehead

good luck Westford! long lines await you.

11:58 am

kje

the guys are super skinny and sweaty

11:58 am

westford

I hate long lines

11:58 am

AsGreen

shoot, I should really go do something productive too..... and I just hit the halfway point for the grid

11:59 am

redturtlehead

bring a book.

11:59 am

leighprefect

Okay ladies, I'm going to clean up. BBL! Happy babbling!

11:59 am

AsGreen

I know KJE, I know, you are WAY ahead of me!

11:59 am

kje

which state waits longest in lines???

11:59 am

westford

good idea since I misplaced my iphone

11:59 am

AsGreen

sorry for chogging so much - hubby is away, so you gals are my vent

11:59 am

kje

this was a real survey, btw... data came out a couple years ago

11:59 am

caitlyn

Bye to all the leavers

11:59 am

westford

which one kje?

11:59 am

westford

probably RI

11:59 am

kje

later asg

12:00 pm

kje

maryland

12:00 pm

kje

where I was living at the time... didn't surprise me at all

12:00 pm

redturtlehead

dunno? New York had some long lines when I lived there, but I see I am corrected1

12:00 pm

hurshy

i think hangouts are a nice way for kids to get independence, when they are not reached by biking on dangerous roads.

12:00 pm

caitlyn

AsG as I said earler its good to run problems over with the babble buddies

12:00 pm

kje

but the other interesting thing is that they minded much less than other states with shorter lines... just expected it I guess... learned helplessness

12:01 pm

AsGreen

hursh, for 9 though? I think middle school

12:01 pm

kje

missing one F

12:01 pm

westford

my favorite thing is finally getting up to a window and not having what I'm supposed to have

12:01 pm

hurshy

did you also mention, in addition to "don't do THAT again", that in future if he thinks he ought to check with you first, and he thinks you might say no, don't just ignore that prick of conscience! either assume that he's right and you will say no, and therefore don't do it, or actually check with you.

12:01 pm

hurshy

i mean about any issue that hasn't been explicitly discussed.

12:02 pm

kje

if fa6 is a word (brit spelling)- then why note fa6ite... it is my fa6ite flavor of icecream!

12:02 pm

westford

I am poofing bye all

12:02 pm

AsGreen

I think that's why he was so upset - once he thought about it, he knew it was a bit over the top

12:02 pm

redturtlehead

must nap....immediately. too much lunch putting me to sleep.

12:02 pm

AsGreen

bye west!

12:02 pm

caitlyn

Bye west I must poof too,see you all tomorrow

12:02 pm

redturtlehead

faboo

12:03 pm

yes, he knew he had made a bad choice

12:03 pm

kje

faboo?

12:03 pm

AsGreen

bye caitlyn - let us know if you go or not!

12:03 pm

AsGreen

I'm up to 8 f's

12:03 pm

redturtlehead

Ooops.

12:03 pm

hurshy

that's really good, that he recognizes that now. and i think if you encourage him to make use of his conscience, then that helps him feel more empowered than if he just had a list of dos and don'ts

12:03 pm

redturtlehead

very sleepy, nappy.

12:03 pm

caitlyn

I will thanks AsG bye

12:04 pm

hello Carleekat and... Sprite .

1:05 pm

sprite

hi elder *huggg* Good to see you.

1:06 pm

elder

and you, ::)) your day been okish..?

1:07 pm

sprite

the assessment went ok. It was the same unkind doctor that declared me almost healthy 3 years ago, but this time he took me seriously. He expects I will get full disability benefits, if the employment expert agrees with him. Looks good.

1:07 pm

sprite

will get a re-assessment within a year, so still some more stress to go, but at least this one seems to go ok.

1:07 pm

elder

Just finished.. bit by bit .. in and out as best as I could manage.

1:08 pm

1:09 pm

elder

Sprite, So pleased to hear that.. you most be so relieved.. yes its looking good... keep me posted.. ::))

1:09 pm

sprite

I learn from you, do you realise that? The part by part thing is something I need to learn, and you are such a great example.

1:10 pm

elder

Sprite.. thank you. Do you need clues.. am not too good but will do my best.

1:10 pm

sprite

ah, there is the fireworks :)

1:10 pm

sprite

but no vid :(

1:11 pm

elder

Sprite.... well done !!!! .. no fireworks why?

1:12 pm

sprite

it is like there is no vid loaded, it says "from" and then nothing.

1:12 pm

elder

Sprite its very kind of you to attribute your thinking and progress from my gabbling's. Its your positivity and day to day ups that will get you through.::)

1:13 pm

sprite

thanks for the clue offer, nothing wrong with your clueing, elder. Last few went fast, otherwise I'd have loved to get your clues.

1:13 pm

elder

Oh.. I got them .. ??

1:13 pm

elder

1:14 pm

elder

It is odd ? is Disney to blame! . lol

1:14 pm

sprite

we all need teachers, elder. And we all are teachers, whether we realise it or not. You are wise in doing things bit by bit. And I learn from you. Thanks and a big *hug*. I am going to have a long night, so must bid you goodnight now. Be well and take care of you :)

1:15 pm

elder

Sprite, Bless, but before you go .. how is your daughter ?

1:16 pm

sprite

still more or less the same, elder. Very pale, dark rings around her eyes (I call her my panda or raccoon), and very tired. Slightly better than yesterday, though. Will call doctor tomorrow to hear if there are any test results in yet.

1:16 pm

jtdp

i have i feel a legitimate 10 letter word but it keeps getting thrown out i have spelt it correctly

1:17 pm

sprite

jtdp, if your word is fa****ite(s), it is not valid. Should be, but isn't in this dictionary. Very frustrating!

1:17 pm

jtdp

it is

1:17 pm

sprite

lots of us have fumed about it not being valid today. Seems we are smarter than the enable dictionary :)

1:18 pm

elder

Sprite, I wish for you and her speedy recovery. She has been through a lot lately and her symptoms this might be the physical results of her trauma.Take care and rest as much as possible.

1:20 pm

sprite

she is a very sensitive girl, so I wouldn't be surprised. I hope it all gets better soon. Thanks for the good wishes, elder!
I just realised I must update the icon themes before I hit the hay. Back soon to check if I did it correctly.

1:20 pm

elder

Might be because the the 'f' word is spelt in the English form.

1:20 pm

elder

Bye Sprite.. *hugs*.

just a test to see if the update went ok...

1:27 pm

icepyro

its actually a recent addition to recognize that u when involving suffixes. for instance humour would be accepted (if it was in the gird) but humourous would not be.. only humorous

1:28 pm

icepyro

by recent I mean more recent than enable... which is not that recent at all

2:57 pm

crosshair

2:57 pm

stidmama

sn is from a scandinavian word meaning snuff apparently?

2:58 pm

Uneaixoise

2:58 pm

kje

sn is another word for snuff... british slang apparently

2:58 pm

3:00 pm

stidmama

3:00 pm

aknitter

all i needed was a little encouragement

3:00 pm

Uneaixoise

we used to buy snuff at the grocery for my grandmother's yard guy . . . wonder what the checkout girl thought! LOL

3:00 pm

aknitter

no purl is purl that was a typo

3:00 pm

stidmama

LBD -- it even has a section on classroom management for behavior disorders!

3:01 pm

lbdawger

3:04 pm

lbdawger

nclb,2001, so probably wasn't included when the book was revised...depending on the actual publication date.

3:04 pm

stidmama

snuff is tobacco, yes? or do they use other herbs?

3:04 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, read this! www.howdydave.com/snuff.html

3:04 pm

Uneaixoise

Garrett sweet snuff is what we used to by for Charles the yard guy!

3:05 pm

Uneaixoise

*buy

3:05 pm

lbdawger

i think today, it's mostly referred to as tobacco, but back in the OLD days, it was some kind of powder probably an opiate mixed with whatever.

3:05 pm

3:05 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, monkey :-)

3:06 pm

stidmama

that's what I was thinking, LBD. anyway, I saw it and you know my interest, so I thought it would help. I will be spending an hour each monday in a gardening/science class (14 students) in the middle school, has at least one child with special needs, hoping this will help me cope.

3:06 pm

stidmama

3:07 pm

stidmama

3:07 pm

3:07 pm

3:07 pm

Uneaixoise

3:08 pm

crosshair

3:08 pm

Uneaixoise

*laudanum

3:08 pm

crosshair

i stand corrected

3:08 pm

nDanLia

laudanum [has been in several late 1800 england set books we've been reading lately]

3:09 pm

Uneaixoise

"Laudanum was a wildly popular drug during the Victorian era. It was an opium-based painkiller prescribed for everything from headaches to tuberculosis"

3:09 pm

stidmama

that is cool, Une -- I know that gardening can be a very healing, calming activity, especially for the kids with hyperactivity. Gives them something physical while they're learning.

3:09 pm

crosshair

we had a old nursing book printed in 1900,was an amazing read but we lost it in a flood:((

3:09 pm

nDanLia

too many people became caught in addiction; like painkillers [or cigs] today

3:09 pm

crosshair

that i already knew une

3:10 pm

stidmama

anyway, I think I'll go read another chapter... I have a couple hours before I have to go take a kid to trumpet lessons.

3:10 pm

6:08 pm

herinfernallady

My old house mate has a snake that was palm size and is now about 6 foot

6:08 pm

tygerbryght

some species of snakes do get enormous, but they all start out tiny, (even live-bearers)

6:08 pm

nancethefan

i only ask because i put heat to my back when one of my disks was herniated & it almost killed me when i tried to get up.

6:09 pm

tygerbryght

with a new injury, heat is a bad thing. with an old one, it is often a good thing

6:09 pm

nancethefan

ok - thank you for the tidbit tyger - never knew why it hurt me so badly

6:10 pm

bfsog

hey all

6:10 pm

nancethefan

ok - i'm going in - keep an eye out for me just in case babble tries to take me down like it did my words

6:10 pm

tygerbryght

they didn't always know that. I think it's less than 20 years ago (maybe much less) that they reached that conclusion. OTOH, they iced my knee back in 1986 or 7 when I was having trouble

6:10 pm

nancethefan

hey sog

6:11 pm

bfsog

as a kid/early teen i always wanted a snake but parents said no!

6:11 pm

tygerbryght

if you use Expert, save your list periodically

6:11 pm

tygerbryght

hey, sog

6:12 pm

nancethefan

i haven't signed up for expert i guess. does it cost more?

6:12 pm

nancethefan

6:12 pm

nancethefan

oopsie

6:12 pm

nancethefan

do y'all enjoy expert?

6:12 pm

tygerbryght

it's free. You send an email to Lickety - but for that matter, you go to the bottom of Lickety's page and the download for your list is there

6:13 pm

tygerbryght

it's very handy, nance

6:13 pm

nancethefan

y'all know what?

6:13 pm

tygerbryght

you don't need Expert to save a copy of your words

6:13 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Bfsog. Yes i wanted a snake was even giving the option of a free one from someont i knew that bred them but too much work. Babble expert doen't work on Mac though

6:13 pm

hi Pini... I'm actually going to veg out tonight (finished earlier) but I wanted to make sure that Tyger saw I apologized - I feel bad, I think she thinks I was a bully ;)

8:22 pm

AsGreen

hi dawg

8:23 pm

lbdawger

aww, green have you been bullying folks?

8:23 pm

Pinikula

congrats on finishing; what happened with Tyger? Is there a message I can pass along to her if you're not on at the same time?

8:25 pm

AsGreen

well, er um, I may have come on a bit too strong regarding Palin/McCain and I believe Tyger took offense.... so I happened to pop on earlier and read the chog I guess as she was logging off, and I wanted her to know I was sorry!!

8:25 pm

Pinikula

oh my...

8:26 pm

lbdawger

(((green)))

8:26 pm

Pinikula

...I'll let her know you are looking for her. ;-)

8:26 pm

AsGreen

anways, ;) , if you see Tyger, please let her know (if you read her profile, you'll see what I mean); and I'll pop in again in a bit....

8:28 pm

Pinikula

wtg shirlockc

8:28 pm

Can't believe there are still people here. Titchy grid, some tough words. Guess world times and working times are in play now. I'm up due those dratted 'night sweats' AGAIN.

Interested in something that helps with the "power surges", Jacula?

10:06 pm

Jacula

The sage tablets worked beautifully for a couple of months then - kazaam! they were back again.

10:06 pm

Jacula

Yes, pink.

10:06 pm

Pinikula

Try "Black Cohosh" capsules...they help me!

10:06 pm

nDanLia

fe 7 40, an igneous rock

10:07 pm

Jacula

Don't say Black Kohosh. Didn't work for me and is also a problem due to famil cancer thing.

10:07 pm

Pinikula

oh - sorry

10:07 pm

Jacula

I'll try red clover next. Just hope they don't wear off like the sage did.

10:07 pm

that's it dan ty - working on it

10:08 pm

I really don't want to risk going on HRT, but fear I may be forced into it if things don't improve soon.

Hi, all. Is this grid friendly?

10:08 pm

wildcat17

very friendly

10:09 pm

Jacula

Hi tim - it depends on your areas of knowledge.

10:09 pm

timnjoplin

Sorry, wrong identity. Back in a sec as Jellen

10:09 pm

Pinikula

Sorry to hear, Jacula...my power surges were surgically induced and so far I've not had to resort to HRT...*knock on wood*

10:10 pm

Jacula

I found it friendly, except that it accepted the British spelling of fe6/39 but would not allow the 'pet' version and plural.

10:10 pm

Jellen

Hi, all. What areas of knowledge, Jac?

10:10 pm

Jacula

Is tim your chap, Jellen?

10:10 pm

Jacula

Knowledge of rocks and minerals is handy, for one.

10:11 pm

Jellen

Tim is now my live-in, Jac.

10:11 pm

Jacula

Oh, good for you Jellen. He'sa handsome guy.

10:12 pm

Jacula

Don't tell him I said that though, you know how easily it goes to their heads.

10:12 pm

Jellen

I'll give the grid a go, then. Although I may be crying for clues later...

10:12 pm

Jacula

LOL

10:12 pm

wildcat17

any sq words?

10:12 pm

Jacula

Yes, wild, 2.

10:13 pm

10:13 pm

You aren't doing bad Jac. Every time I try chatting I get mixed up and post words in the chat box and vice versa

10:16 pm

Jacula

9 x s5's to choose from.

10:17 pm

Jacula

We all do that at times, Nef.

10:17 pm

Nef

Oh, it's seems to be EVERY time for me since I've been back this tiime

10:17 pm

Nef

I've nearly given up chat!

10:17 pm

se5/10 - verb form of the 4 before it (to stitch a bird of prey's eyes up).

10:18 pm

wildcat17

have se x 2, sl, sq, st x 2

10:18 pm

Jacula

se5/14 - plural of the se4 before it. Sounds like a milk pudding.

10:19 pm

Jacula

se5/10 - add a personal pronoun vowel to the end of the se4 before it ( you posted the letter, so it is se**.)

10:19 pm

Did you write the poem in your bio, pug?

10:23 pm

pugmama763

yes dear all the ones I post are mine

10:23 pm

Jacula

I just wanted to say how well you put it and that I know that feeling, or did once.

10:24 pm

pugmama763

ty for the compliment

10:24 pm

pugmama763

I've always found it very therapeutic to write

10:25 pm

Jacula

BTW, don't call me dear, since you're younger than me. Makes me feel like I'm in the old folks' home already. LOL. Not being nasty, honest.

10:25 pm

Jacula

Writing is very therapeutic, yes.

10:25 pm

Sorry pug. if Beloved and I call each other 'dear', we're being sarcastic, not in a nasty way, though.

10:28 pm

nDanLia

yeah

10:28 pm

Jellen

Yay, wild!!!

10:28 pm

pugmama763

I know many folks like that

10:29 pm

pugmama763

as long as you know in my case I mean it in a good way

10:29 pm

Jacula

We have a 12-year age difference, pug (he's younger than me). I'm Taurean (so I'm the 'old Cow') and he's Arian, so he's the 'grumpy old man'.

10:29 pm

pugmama763

I doubt I could break the habit now....

10:29 pm

Jacula

Or rather the grumpy old goat, or just the Old Goat!

10:29 pm

Jacula

No worries, pug. Now I know, I won't take offence.

10:30 pm

pugmama763

good lord I wouldn't wish to witness one of those spats!!!

10:30 pm

Jacula

Have you noticed that men get the grumpy gene earlier than women do?

10:30 pm

pugmama763

taurus VS aries!!!! YIKES!!!

10:31 pm

pugmama763

can't say that I have but they are certainly born with the childish gene...

10:31 pm

Jacula

Did I just say aries? My mistake. I'm tired. Ex-hub was Aries. I meant Capricorn for the 'old goat'.

10:32 pm

pugmama763

even worse THE 2 most stubborn signs in the Zodiac!!!!

10:32 pm

Jacula

LOL - we rub along okay, pug.

10:33 pm

Nef

How often do you find the zodiac thing works the way *they* say it does?

10:33 pm

pugmama763

true neither sign is prone to big outbursts but the LONG BROODING ICY silences....

10:33 pm

Jacula

Actually, after just over 5 years, we're still rubbing along very well.

10:34 pm

Jacula

No, I have never gone in for that silence thing and I won't put up with it from anyone else.

10:34 pm

pugmama763

actually nef very frequently if you're talking REAL astrology & not that hokey bull jive in the daily paper.

10:35 pm

Jacula

We both came out of bad marriages and I think that makes a difference to how we approach things.

10:35 pm

Nef

really? Because I'm a Taurus and hubby is an Aquarian and we have a great relationship

10:35 pm

pugmama763

then you are indeed a well evolved Taurus Jac! :)

10:35 pm

nDanLia

my sisters & I match our signs pretty well

10:35 pm

Nef

And (according to what I've read) we shouldn't

10:36 pm

Jacula

pug - I know about real astrology, that's why I mentioned our star signs. I used to plot personal horoscopes for people at one time.

10:36 pm

pugmama763

yes but have you done complete charts & compared the whole picture?

10:36 pm

Jacula

Well, pug, it does depend on where all the planets were when you were born.

10:37 pm

nDanLia

also differs on parts of cycles involved, etc

10:37 pm

pugmama763

very good for you Jac never had the patience for complex charting myself but I'm hardly unaware4

10:37 pm

Nef

no, can't say I have done that. I became disillusioned when the superficial stuff didn't work

10:37 pm

pugmama763

Sun sign is only one part of the picture Nef

10:38 pm

pugmama763

my 2 sisters & I are ALL Leo but different as can be on the surface

10:39 pm

pugmama763

the eldest has so many planets in Scorpio she often acts more like one than a Leo

10:39 pm

Nef

really? I guess I just never thought it was worth investigating

10:39 pm

Jacula

You have to take in the sun sign, moon sign, conjunctions and aspects. Most media horoscopes are based merely on your sun sign.

10:40 pm

Jacula

I have the Sun, Venus and Mercury in Taurus, the Moon in Aquarius, Saturn in Saggitarius, Neptune in Scorpio, Jupiter in Virgo, Plute and Uranus in Leo and Mars n Gemini.

10:41 pm

Nef

Wow, Jac! You lost me before the first comma!

10:42 pm

pugmama763

most folks that "POO_POO" astrology really never took the time to learn about it.

Howdy, folks. This is my first hour as a official member. I gave up not having any idea how many words to go.

10:44 pm

nDanLia

can copy/paste from my word list into the 2nd from bottom big box on left of lickety's; it places words you have in order in the list above; then you can tell position of what you're missing, along with length & pt value

10:44 pm

Jacula

My Dad was a Taurus and my Mum a Gemini. My hubby was Aries, first child Gemini, 2nd child Aries. Step daughte is a Sagittarius. Her Mum is a Leo.

10:45 pm

Jacula

Sorry for all the astrology talk.

10:45 pm

pugmama763

no need to be sorry

10:45 pm

Jacula

It's an interesting subject when you delve deeper than sun signs, though.

10:45 pm

So, nDan, you're saying I could have saved $15? Oops.

Hi Fi! What the heck are you doing up at this time of the morn?

10:51 pm

Hi, FM!

Good point, FM. I've been playing the last week without any clues (Lickety's because I didn't realize the site existed) and that's been... tough.

10:52 pm

FMitch

lol no, haven't finished reading it yet.

Way too early for this bird nDan!

10:53 pm

Jacula

FM - I'd like so see all the photos in that bigger.

10:54 pm

Jacula

If you think that's long, FM. you should hve seen my write up on Crete.

Virtually impossible I would have said lonlyboy - now you have full technicolour back :)

10:54 pm

tygerbryght

hello? am I here?

10:55 pm

FM, you're right about that. I did manage to crack 120 words a few days ago, though.

10:55 pm

Hi tyger I see you

10:55 pm

Jellen

I'm slogging through the grid--got a late start.

10:57 pm

Jacula

I'm not yet asleep but wish I could be without being woken up on the hour, every hour, by a night sweat interval.

10:57 pm

pugmama763

oh fun stuff!

10:58 pm

tygerbryght

jac, has your doctor ever tried anything to help with those? I'd go crazy if I had to put up with them

10:58 pm

Jellen

I'm fine, FM, thanks. And you? Other than awakening earlier than you want...

10:58 pm

pugmama763

had those for a few months but they stopped THANK GOD!

10:58 pm

Jacula

Fmitch - did I send you an inite to my blog?

10:58 pm

FMitch

It was a good one today not too may unusual words.

Yes you did thans JAcs, I visit from time to time/

10:59 pm

Jacula

Oh, okay, FM.

10:59 pm

FMitch

Poor Jacs, I went through all of that a couple of years ago.

11:00 pm

Jacula

Pug - how many months? Mine have been going on for about a year or more now. My Mum's in her 70s and she still suffers. She has a friend in her 80s who also does. That's v. depressing news.

11:00 pm

pugmama763

it varies so widely from one person to another,some never get them!!

11:01 pm

tygerbryght

jac, have you ever told your Dr. the family history WRT that?

11:01 pm

Jacula

FM - did yours settle down without HRT etc?

11:01 pm

pugmama763

I think mine was off an on for about a year

11:01 pm

Jacula

Tyger - yes.

11:01 pm

tygerbryght

you've never given me any reason to believe you're a masochist!

11:01 pm

FMitch

yes totally

11:01 pm

tygerbryght

I'd be all over my doctors about it

11:02 pm

autumn moon

okay. My last word is the FE7. can I get a little hint?

11:02 pm

pugmama763

eat chick peas Lots of natural plant estrogen!

11:02 pm

Jacula

That's good to hear, FM. I do hope mine does, too.

11:02 pm

tygerbryght

you want a hint, or a clue, moon?

11:02 pm

autumn moon

hint, please

11:02 pm

pugmama763

HRT is dangerous ! you couldn't pay me to take that!

11:02 pm

tygerbryght

I can give either :D

11:02 pm

tygerbryght

fe7: a mineral

11:02 pm

autumn moon

no hrt for me either.

11:03 pm

Jacula

I agree, pug - even though I'm a smoker.

a dense, fine-grained, igneous rock consisting typically of feldspar and quartz, both of which may appear as phenocrysts.

11:03 pm

pugmama763

as am I

11:03 pm

FMitch

Friend of mine did the HRT and said it was the best thing ever, so as pug said everyone is different

11:03 pm

pugmama763

but why up the ante?

11:03 pm

tygerbryght

jac, if you smoke, I certainly agree that you shouldn't touch HRT

11:04 pm

autumn moon

thanks for that tyger

11:04 pm

tygerbryght

I have far more serious side effects, so I've no option but HRT - we've talked about this before, and the GYN watches me like a hawk, with extra annual tests

11:04 pm

tygerbryght

yw, moon

11:04 pm

Jacula

Thing is, about HRT, FM. I have friends who say or have said that, but I also know far too many women who spent 10-12 years on it and then lost one or both breasts.

11:05 pm

tygerbryght

but I was spayed at 29, too, and have had intervals off HRT for as long as I could stand

11:05 pm

FMitch

eek, glad I didn't even have to consider that as a possibility then

11:06 pm

autumn moon

(thinking that was a really cute way of putting it, tyger) My surgeon didn't want to put me on HRT unless the symptoms got in the way of quality of life

11:07 pm

Jacula

Well, the 'Pill' didn't sit me when I was younger, I kept getting leg pains, so, I don't think HRT is for me. I'll keep on taking the herbal stuff and drinking soya and eating various seeds and beans until I rattle. Fortunately, I love fish.

11:07 pm

tygerbryght

thx, moon

11:07 pm

tygerbryght

if there's anyone here who was around the other night when I was roasted about politics, I've temporarily changed my profile, as a final discussion of the matter

11:07 pm

jillibus

I hardly noticed menopause, no HRT, got breast cancer anyway, which was estrogen-receptive, so maybe I made my own HRT

11:07 pm

tygerbryght

I was on the pill from the time I stopped nursing my son until I had the hys

11:07 pm

tygerbryght

hey, jilli!

11:08 pm

tyger, when did you have your surgery?

11:08 pm

FMitch

Hello jilli :)

11:08 pm

tygerbryght

maybe, jilli, and maybe got it from the environment? e.g., the estrogen mimics in plastics?

Hi jilli. This si4 is just so brilliant for discusssions and seeing everyone's side of everything.

11:08 pm

tygerbryght

don't blame you, pug. I was very sorry I answered when asked

11:09 pm

autumn moon

did we chase the boys away, again?

11:09 pm

tygerbryght

who cares? :D

11:09 pm

pugmama763

only discuss such things with folks I know are like minded

11:09 pm

tygerbryght

none of my friends are, but they accept me as I am, and vice versa

11:10 pm

May I have a clue for fa 6/39, please?

11:10 pm

pugmama763

same for religion....

11:10 pm

Never discuss religion or politics with anyone other than family or close friends, is my rule. Only discuss female problems with female friends on the internet or in a room, if you need to clear it.

11:11 pm

tygerbryght

but warning, fa6ite ain't in the list

11:11 pm

tygerbryght

OR plural. I've put them in the thread on that

11:11 pm

Jacula

fa6/30 is the British spelling of 'to do a good dead for or to set about others'.

11:11 pm

FMitch

Now the question is, do I stay up for the flip or try and get some more sleep ... babble v sleep?

11:12 pm

tygerbryght

FM, we luv you, but you probably need the sleep, unless you can make it up in the daytime??

11:12 pm

Jellen

Thanks, Jac

11:12 pm

Jacula

However, the British spelling of the fa8 and 9 that follow it are not allowed by Enable.

11:12 pm

tygerbryght

can you sleep late??

11:12 pm

tygerbryght

already said that, jac :)

11:13 pm

tygerbryght

jilli, just saw your comment about new icon/profile. thanks ever so much!

11:13 pm

jillibus

plastics? My menopause was in the early 1970s...

11:13 pm

FMitch

Think I will babble and then finish work early this afternoon (as I only have me to answer to) :)

11:13 pm

Jellen

pu 6/24, the first?

11:13 pm

jillibus

attagirl, FM :)

11:14 pm

tygerbryght

when did you get the C? those plastics have been in use for 40 years, or thereabouts

11:14 pm

FMitch

One has to get ones priorities right!

11:14 pm

Jacula

Fi - you might as well stay upi now if you think you can get any words at the flip. If you think you'd rather leave it until you've had enought sleep (like I often do), then go and come back later.xx

11:14 pm

tygerbryght

maybe longer. not remembering exactly at the moment, and don't want to stop chatting to double-check

I shouldn't do bad spelling on the internet, since both of my kids know me as 'The Walking Dictionary and Seplling Oracle'. Can't let them down. They might find me here one day!

11:17 pm

The wife trying to stop the hubby getting out of bed and then hanging on to his ankles as he tried to leave the house...

11:21 pm

tygerbryght

and he's a milkman? and goes anyway?

11:21 pm

Jacula

She tried to be as secy and sirenlike as she could be, but our faithful milklman still shrugged her off and left the house to do his milk round.

11:21 pm

tygerbryght

does it tie in with the old joke about the milkman's child?

11:22 pm

Jellen

I found the ri6, but now need a clue for sn 6/21, if possible...

11:22 pm

pugmama763

11:22 pm

FMitch

Time to put the kettle on I think, back in a short while.

11:22 pm

Jacula

11:23 pm

tyger - comment only you're probably like the majority of people re politics; unfortunately some at either end are so like one another - blame others for being closed minded & poke lots of fun at them, but can't handle it being reciprocated or seeing the image in the mirror; but its all words; just be proud you know what you are
