12:48 am

JeeWhiz

mrpres, you have such a nice way with words.

12:48 am

SamanthaJoy

12:50 am

JeeWhiz

I gotta ask, for the people who have fireworks already--have you gone to the lists? Are you using software to help? Or are you just that much *better* than I am?

melonheadjujube

hi, jilli, luv the icon. now i shall icon shopping - brb

1:07 am

mrpresident

what is really bad though, is everyone in the area knows that this road does the xmas, easter and halloween stuff... so they come from miles away, drop their kids at the top of the road at halloween, and the kids trick or treat all the houses.
That is just plain rude!

1:08 am

mrpresident

1:08 am

jillibus

YAY freep (late)

1:08 am

SamanthaJoy

There's one house where you can leave donations--you can *see* the electric meter spinning round and round at terrifying speeds!!
And oh, no--I wouldn't play the halloween game. That *is* just awfully rude.

1:09 am

jillibus

mrp, there's an area here which gets all the halloweenies -- because other areas are too widespread and unlit at night

2:46 am

KatieMcG

that's great Groovy :-)

2:47 am

GroovyKiwi

Here is the kicker: his marriage broke up august last year and he moved from wellington and it comes to past that the reason his marriage broke up and he left town was that he had feelings for me
strong enough to get out of a situation he didnt think i needed to deal with at the time

2:47 am

Atalante

yay yay groovy!

2:47 am

GroovyKiwi

and when he heard in sept this year that my marriage had broken up he had been trying to pick up the courage to contact me and he did a couple of weeks ago

2:47 am

MonkeyGames

Oh wow! That's really interesting. What a thing! Glad he finally said something to you!

2:48 am

GroovyKiwi

so i spent a couple of weeks in his company while he was down here on undercover ops and we are going to see if we can make this happen lol

2:48 am

MonkeyGames

Just take it nice and easy, and good luck, what a great story!

2:49 am

GroovyKiwi

oh def small steps

2:49 am

GroovyKiwi

but it was like OMG i was so not ready for even thinking about anything long term or permanent - i was happy just having fun with my lawyer friend

2:49 am

MonkeyGames

I understand. What a bombshell!

2:50 am

GroovyKiwi

my exact words was that i got knocked for a six - which kiwis and aussies will understand but not many others lol

MonkeyGames

Hey, there's that weird magpie again... he lands on the upper window ledge with his tail splayed across teh window, then leaves after a minute.

2:54 am

lynxxx

I think we are getting short shrift from Ata because of Mr B

2:54 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, I hear you-- calling my grandfather is always an adventure. His awake and not eating times don't correspond well with my awake and not feeding the family times...

phantoms: cinnamon and anemone

4:50 am

chickieo8

TY How is it by you?

4:50 am

LoriP

I keep trying lithe.

4:51 am

LoriP

We had a huge disgusting snowstorm on the weekend, but it's raining it away now. I'm good with that. :)

4:52 am

Atalante

I love this. Yesterday evening I was panicking all day about not having enough to do a pic by tomorrow, and here am I happily playing babble *sigh*

4:53 am

chickieo8

We're suppose to get anther storm this week-end oh well it just gives us spring to look forward to. LOL

4:55 am

LoriP

Babble is not exactly connected to real life productivity..... :p

4:56 am

LoriP

Okay, 23 left and spawnling time. BBL

4:56 am

Atalante

noooooo and I need to start work now! *looks at the grid*

4:56 am

Eva

Good morning. Hey chickie-one of the kittens in your icon is a mini-Merp

4:56 am

o-o

what is the link to unreal life productivity?

4:57 am

Atalante

about the same I think

4:59 am

chickieo8

Hi Eva, how sweet.I just love that picture. Zoe is also black&white short hair. I just got a beautiful Hemalayn he is 8 yrs old owner couldn't keep any more. He ia beautiful!

5:01 am

chickieo8

I have to laugh Eva,mini-Merp sounds like a new car:-) lol

5:01 am

Eva

the facial marking look identical.I wish we could have a whole pride of cats (can us use pride for domestic cats?)

5:01 am

Atalante

definitely

5:02 am

Eva

it would be great if English was my first language(-{

5:03 am

Eva

Typing fingers not fully awake

5:03 am

chickieo8

A home is not a home with out the love of a kitty! My little dog Abby is a joy also!

5:03 am

Atalante

hmmm. Hobbit has just got *under* the throw on my sofa and gone to sleep

5:06 am

chickieo8

don' you love it.:-) BC is watching me,Zoe is playing with a toy mouse and Abby is sleeping on her affagan i the recliner,life is tuff......:>)

5:07 am

chickieo8

my fringers are still sleeping also

5:07 am

Eva

watching humans must be endlessly baffling and entertaining-watching them pee seems especially fascinating

5:08 am

chickieo8

i know what you mean lol

5:10 am

Atalante

I can't go to the loo without been WAtched by one or other of the furbrats

5:12 am

Eva

sometimes I have the bizarre desire for some privacy and close the door and you would think that Merp was being drawn on the rack from the ruckus he sets up trying to break the door down.

5:12 am

Atalante

omg same with Silverclaw. especially if I have a *shower* without her present

5:13 am

Eva

It's also very unnerving to get up in the middle of the night to pee, in the dark, half conscious, and not be sure if your toes are going to get nibbled on while seated. Not a relaxing experience.

5:13 am

chickieo8

I know there is always one by my feet,one in the counter and oneai the door-way. They truely don't like to be shut out :-)

5:14 am

Eva

Merp will be in seventh heaven tomorrow with all the company. The more attention the better, and the more toes to nibble the better....he seems to have a foot fettish

5:16 am

chickieo8

I'm going to my daughters so my "fur faces" can have the house to them selfs.

5:16 am

Eva

will you bring them back some turkey with fixings?

5:17 am

chickieo8

if I want them to let me in I better.....:-)

5:22 am

Atalante

HI. Eva. My parents and I owned a Irish Setter when i was a kid, used to pinch the neighbours bread and run through their pond and climb mountains

5:35 am

iumanwwjd123

ok, right back to a long one...

5:36 am

Eva

I don't know if it's the inbreeding,but I would never have an Irish setter again.

5:36 am

FMitch

phone .. sigh

5:36 am

herinfernallady

She was a lovely dog just dumb as a brick

5:36 am

Eva

Okay-total ignoranamus that I am-who is JB?

LoriP

5:40 am

pinkhatlil

i've missed babbling

5:40 am

Atalante

sily's still sniffing around

5:40 am

Atalante

don't think she has a very good killing instinct though!

5:42 am

Atalante

she just watches the mouse with biiig eyes

5:42 am

LoriP

Our inside 2 cats are useless hunters, except for stalking the laser pointer

5:43 am

Eva

merp is a killing machine.

5:43 am

Atalante

sily's good at spiders, but apparently that is it

5:43 am

Atalante

it's a lovely little mouse though

5:43 am

Eva

But only for mice and flies. useless with spiders and moths

5:44 am

Eva

I like the mice. They are beautiful and as they don't get into the food, quite harmless.

5:44 am

Atalante

me too. I don't really want Sily to get this mouse! But I would like him to go back out in the field where he belongs

5:44 am

LoriP

Doh, got the last i.

5:45 am

Eva

They don't want to be out in the field when it's cold....your house is a much nicer place.

5:45 am

Atalante

I know. they can stay all they want, but I don't like the poo!

5:46 am

o-o

* Did you hear about the girl who skipped rope while she read?

5:46 am

o-o

* She jumped to conclusions.

5:46 am

LoriP

G'd morning BR.....

5:46 am

Atalante

I think I'll put some new peanut butter in our humane trap and leave it around somewhere close

5:47 am

Eva

Had a miraculous find yesterday morning. When I came back from my walk I saw a strange shape in the snow, and thought "it can't be!", but it was - I beautiful, 4 inch long spotted salamander. I called the nature center and they advised me to put him in a nest of leaves by the edge of the woods, which I did, and s/he scurried right under them. Hopefully in the spring there will be baby spotted salamanders.

bichon

Ok, forgot about Italian. French and Italian are co-most beautiful languages

8:17 am

Trifioso

I know a great joke about languages: A group of Europeans get in an argument about whose language is the most beautiful. The Frenchman says it's French, because the word for butterfly in French is "pappillon" which is a beautiful word. The Portugese man says his is the most beautiful, as butterfly is "bobolette" and isn't that the most lovely? and the Italian says, no, it's Italian, because Butterfly in Italian is "farfalle" which is lovely....at this point the German BANGS his fist on the table, stands up and yells - what are you saying? there is something wrong with schmetterlink? (sure all my spelling is wrong, but it's still a great joke.....)

8:18 am

Atalante

loooooool

I find it difficult to judge whether my own native language [English] is beautiful. I don't know how it sounds to others

8:32 am

oodleberry

no cross I don't find that the case

8:33 am

bichon

Cross, is that true. There are so many regional accents here. Besides, people of the upper midwest sound a bit like Canadians

8:33 am

oodleberry

i think the canadians speak english very well

8:33 am

crosshair

8:34 am

Atalante

awwww

8:34 am

Atalante

how disappointing

8:34 am

crosshair

"eh" can have many uses but it is mostly for conformation of a idea for to indicate to a person to repeat themselves

8:34 am

bichon

But Canadians do retain the "our" endings from British

8:34 am

8:37 am

bichon

We visited New Zealand and they have a very different way of pronounching words. Our guide introduced himself as "Kint" [it was really Kent]. I thought that was what his name really was.

8:37 am

no need for much talking as long as you have some single malt;)

8:37 am

We were at a park in N.S. and some people were looking for their kids who had wandered off. They described them as "strange" [meaning strangers to the areas]. But to us, there was something strange about them

I need translators for there!

8:41 am

I've found out the correct word for brassiere in German : bustenhalter

8:41 am

8:41 am

crosshair

crossy is thinking of jeff foxworthy lol

8:41 am

oodleberry

damn the quebeckers are just the opposite... and you can't out give them if you give to them... but if you don't you git nothing...

8:41 am

Uneaixoise

crossy, aacckk!

8:42 am

Atalante

LA and AL are almost as bad!

8:42 am

8:42 am

oodleberry

LA and AL .. you mean louisianna and alabama?

8:43 am

EvaNadine

oh, there are some northern areas with some pretty tough accents too!

8:43 am

Uneaixoise

I was in line at the grocery this week -- my line and the one next to it were both held up with non-native speakers trying to understand the cashiers . . .

8:43 am

oodleberry

my mother has a problem with the southern accent in general

8:43 am

Atalante

yep. I do love the alabama accent though. but it lulls me into just listening to the accent and not listening to the words

8:44 am

oodleberry

hispanics?

8:44 am

Uneaixoise

ohmygod, both cashiers were older women and had no idea what might be a STANDARD way to express themselves

8:44 am

bichon

A lot of Hispanics in NYC speak New Yorican, or Spanglish

8:45 am

oodleberry

that's hard... I revert to sign language

8:45 am

EvaNadine

i had a friend from Bethlehem PA when i was little + i hardly understood half of what she said!

8:45 am

Uneaixoise

oodle, my mom's accent is so thick and syrupy, when we used to go to NYC together, she wouldn't open her mouth--no one had a CLUE what she was saying! LOL

8:46 am

Atalante

what I find really funny is that when I'm in OR, most people think I'm Australian

8:46 am

oodleberry

omg une... too funny

8:47 am

EvaNadine

my parents are from london, but have lived in the US for over 40 years.
my moms best friend is australian, but has lived here for over 40 years...
when they go out together, no one knows WHERE theyre from!

8:47 am

oodleberry

Ata you travelled a great deal in the states eh?

8:47 am

EvaNadine

what i find funny is that americans LOVE my parents british accent...but when they go home to england, they LOVE my parents american accent!
hehe

8:47 am

oodleberry

that's cute eva

8:48 am

Atalante

when I'm bumming around with best friend - she's from OR but brought up in Arizona, and I'm very very British, we are usually taken both for Australians. And neither of us have anything like an Aussie accent

8:48 am

oodleberry

yes when my mother and I were in england together... I was the one with the accent and my mother had no accent... GO FIGURE

8:49 am

Atalante

though it appears that I've now spent enough time in the US to be able to slip into speaking English English but with American phrases adn words

8:49 am

EvaNadine

my parents were just over in england a few weeks ago + my "cousin" (not really) asked my mom "so, did you used to talk like me?"

8:50 am

Atalante

awwww

8:50 am

oodleberry

ok ata I'm confused now... do you live in england or the states.. or another part of the UK eh?

8:51 am

EvaNadine

the funny thing is, she didnt!
my parents have more of the "proper" london accent, whereas most of the family we have now has more of the "lower-class" cockney-ish type of accent...

8:51 am

Atalante

England

8:51 am

EvaNadine

we live in the US. my parents are originally from england.

8:51 am

Uneaixoise

Ata's an international woman of mystery!

8:51 am

Atalante

but I spend a good amount of time in OR, and am going to move over there at some point soon

8:51 am

bichon

My MA born Mom currently speaks with a NYC accent. She was visiting with us and my daughter's friends's mother stopped by. She has a southern accent. My Mom says to her in a thick NY accent: "Do I detect a trace of a Southern accent?" Hubby and I still laugh about that

8:55 am

EvaNadine

being english, my dads favorite joke is:
"we do have Thanksgiving in england, you know. it's just that you americans call it 'Independence Day'"

8:55 am

Atalante

absolutely!!!

8:55 am

Judi

TO, don't you mean "joy-zee" ?

8:55 am

oodleberry

we already had our thanksgiving ... although I think it is celbrated more in the states than here.. the quebeckers anyway.

8:55 am

i love the names of the small british villages;) yarldleby-on the heath puddlby on the wye and all the shires;))

8:55 am

72 Temple Owl

no, that's how those new yawkers say jersey!

8:56 am

Atalante

oh yeah, they are fab. Nebnett Thrumbwell is my favourite

8:56 am

oodleberry

but thanksgiving doesnÂ«'t have anything to do with independance.... it is centered aroudn the good harvest and the blessings thereof

8:56 am

Anniebrook

I'm from Noo Yawk and I dont say Joisey

8:56 am

EvaNadine

thats what makes it funny, oodle. ;)

8:56 am

we can still celebrate getting rid of y'all :P

8:57 am

bichon

Annie, what part of NY. Outside the city, most New Yorkers speak differently

8:57 am

oodleberry

oh...um I'm slow...

8:57 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL hi annie! i think that's a media stereotype actually. now philly accent is ROUGH! they say it's really rooted in british accent and pronuncitaion.

8:57 am

Anniebrook

bichon, born and raised in Manhattan, now live in Brooklyn for many years

8:57 am

Judi

I'm originally from upsate NY, and I don't say Joisey either. Now being from Delaware, we just say "the other side of the bridge" or "d'udder side".

8:57 am

oodleberry

I was born in NYC/richmond

8:57 am

BlueAndAmy

Hello hello, all!

8:57 am

bichon

Really Annie, and you don't have a NY accent? How did you escape?

8:58 am

BlueAndAmy

Judi, where in upstate? I just moved from Plattsburgh

8:58 am

bichon

Richmond is the fancy name for Staten Island

8:58 am

oodleberry

hi blue

8:58 am

72 Temple Owl

hi blue

8:58 am

Judi

We used to live in Clinton, NY (near Utica). Been to Plattsburgh. It's cold up there!

8:58 am

BlueAndAmy

Hi oodle :-)

8:58 am

Anniebrook

bichon, Yes, I certainly do have a New York accent but Joisey is not it

8:58 am

oodleberry

YEAH BICHON

8:58 am

ever watch u.k dart tourneys? lol"as lord phillip roundbottom prepares for his next throw,we can tell you that he currently resides in puddleby-on-the-wye where he collect sheep dung drooping and has the reigons largest beer bottle colletion..lol think i need another tea

8:59 am

oodleberry

you are the first one who knows that they are one in the same

8:59 am

BlueAndAmy

Hahaha it is chilly, but not as cold as here in WY (where I moved to)

8:59 am

bichon

I guess Joisy accent is a bit different than Noo Yawk [a bit]

8:59 am

Anniebrook

Richmond is the county, oodle, Staten Island is the borough

8:59 am

EvaNadine

here in DC, we are accent-free. :)

9:00 am

Judi

Wyoming! Dear lord. I didn't think anything except bison and elk moved to Wyoming.

9:00 am

bichon

Yes, Annie, like Manhattan and New York

9:00 am

oodleberry

yes bichon, i used to have a new joisy accent when I moved to the state of washington. I used to say may i have a glass of werter

9:00 am

Anniebrook

bichon, what part of Brooklyn did you live in before you moved to CT?

9:00 am

oodleberry

what's the dif annie

9:01 am

bichon

I have to laugh cause I needed a new birth certificate. I always thought of myself as born in the City of New York. Apparently, I was born in the city of Brooklyn

9:01 am

BlueAndAmy

Yeah, well, I'm a masochist like that, I guess. Speaking of Joisey, I grew up just outside of Newark, so I can definitely relate to the accent (especially since both of my parents are native LongIslanders originally)

9:01 am

bichon

We moved from Brooklyn to Rockaway when I was small. As an adult I lived in Manhattan and hubby and I moved to CT from there

9:01 am

Anniebrook

bichon, my daughter lives in CT

9:02 am

BlueAndAmy

My boyfriend is from Sandy Hook in CT

9:02 am

Where Annie. I live in Middletown

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

i never knew anyone from new jersey who said "werter"

9:02 am

Annie? what is the dif between a burrough and a county... thought they were the same

9:02 am

oodle, going to google county and borough, be right back

9:03 am

72 Temple Owl

9:03 am

Wilton's much closer to NYC. NIce place

9:04 am

BlueAndAmy

EvaNadine, you still here?

9:04 am

EvaNadine

still here! (in + out...pretending to do work)

9:05 am

bichon

On Long Island there's Kings County, Queens County, Nassau County and Suffolk County. But Brooklyn and Queens are also boroughs of NYC. Unnecessarily complicated

9:05 am

BlueAndAmy

Gotcha :-) I just wanted to say, the photos on your flickr page are AWESOME.... SO very pin-up!!! I love them

9:05 am

Judi

Delaware has a bit of a spill-over Philly accent. Water is pronounced "wooter", whereas I was looked at strangely when I said "wah-ter". I think the philly accents sounds a bit like Elmer Fudd.

9:05 am

EvaNadine

oh, thanks! :)

9:06 am

oodleberry

ohhh annie you don't have to do that I could have if you didn't know you could have said I should do that... but thank you very much

9:07 am

oodle, counties and boroughs are, for the most part, the same...

9:08 am

Atalante

modesty too :D

9:08 am

EvaNadine

im trying to lay off the photo shoots for a little while -- theyre a little pricey!
but most definitely will do more in the future. :)

9:09 am

EvaNadine

i have enough modesty to blush when people pay me a compliment. :)

9:09 am

Atalante

yeah, but we can sense the in5 smug :P

9:10 am

oodleberry

oh and when I wanted to get an official copy of my birth certificate the lady there said the burrough changed names from richmond to staten island.. but on my birth certificate it says the CITY of richmond... so I am confused...

9:10 am

EvaNadine

oh golly.
i do have a bit of a show-offy streak, but really, im quite shy!

9:10 am

bichon

Brooklyn was once an independent city [long ago] but was then incorporated into the city of NY

9:11 am

Atalante

awwwww teasing you dear, we know you're lovely

9:11 am

Anniebrook

It still stands...brooklyn is the borough, Kings county is the county....Staten Island is the borough, Richmond is the County...gets confusing

9:11 am

BlueAndAmy

Hmmm... somehow the photographer didn't quite capture the "shy" in those photos :-)

9:11 am

EvaNadine

shes a good photographer. :)

9:12 am

oodleberry

the are two names but the same area

9:12 am

Anniebrook

and Manhattan is the borough and New York is the county, etc. etc. etc.

9:12 am

EvaNadine

actually, THEY are good photographers...ive been to 2 different gals :)

9:12 am

Anniebrook

yes, the same area, oodle

9:13 am

BlueAndAmy

I can tell they're good, those photos really are incredible... I'm sure it has a lot to do with the subject, though :-)

9:13 am

oodleberry

well fine... I will just go to the corner and pout and reflect on this phenomena of references to area in NYC. sheesh

Babs1

9:35 am

dizziness can be interpreted many ways... 1st is it vertigo vs light headedness... huge differential diagnosis for both... if in fact you are so "dizzy" that you don't feel you can even stand, you should call your doctor

9:35 am

kje

ty babs, but there is one before that

9:35 am

wildcat17

hi gwen

9:36 am

lexleeanne

okay - if I stand up the room feels sideways

9:36 am

kje

that is vertigo

9:36 am

mari

could be an ear infection

9:36 am

lexleeanne

my ears don't hurt

9:37 am

Ouwachita

vertigo is caused by an infection which makes your ears out of sync

9:37 am

kje

if you are congested, runny nose, other URI symptoms, it is most likely labyrinthitis - if it persists would call your doc

9:37 am

9:50 am

MonkeyGames

It is! Made a pretty good one a few weeks ago but always looking for new recipes. It's beef smothered in sauteed mushrooms and gravy wrapped in puff pastry, baked golden, and served with a wine sauce.

9:50 am

oodleberry

it is a beef in gravy in a pastry shell

9:50 am

i have never hunted before, trif... but that would be tempting... you know that wild bird will taste better than anyone your sis has found at the market!

9:53 am

good for you, Trif!!

9:53 am

Trifioso

thanks. I am slowly making my way through this strange new landscape. I don't like it, but it's the bag of hammers I have been handed.

9:53 am

Babs1

lexi...doesn't hurt to try the exercise in the link earlier just to see if that eases things while you're waiting for your appointment later ..just my humble opinion

9:53 am

MonkeyGames

And my update is that I have two flattened discs that have "ruptured slightly" and nobody can do anything about it. The orthopedist thinks it "should" stope gtting worse and start getting better within a couple months.

9:54 am

wildcat17

sorry to hear that monkey

9:54 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(my hometown is a pit, too)

9:54 am

good morning

9:54 am

MonkeyGames

Hang in there Trif! If you need anyone to talk to you can always e-mail me.

9:54 am

Trifioso

Oh, MG - I am so sorry they could not do more than tell you that! Is there anything they suggest? PT? Shots?

9:54 am

MonkeyGames

So, as Kurt Vonnegut was fond of writing, it goes!

9:54 am

HollyF

Okay I'm dense I got the re6, with the shoe part but whats the 7

9:55 am

MonkeyGames

This orthopedist doesn't believe in the shots and physical therapy both did not work and he says will not. But if it gets "much worse", especially the leg radiation, I can go back.

9:55 am

unithorn

MG - have they cleared you for use of a TENS unit (spelling might be off...)...my father ruptured two discs in his back some years ago, they thought he would never walk again, and that thing saved him...he'll 100% mobile. That, and a lot of time at the chiropractor.

9:55 am

nDanLia

ah, sorry, space ship going back into the at'nn'osphere

9:55 am

MonkeyGames

At least I know what it is. That's most important.

9:56 am

Babs1

there is a simple device here in the states and may be in Europe as well where you pump oxygen a couple of times a day into the back area...back2life you lie with legs up over a board of sorts and there is continuous gentle action just bringing oxygen to the area

9:56 am

HollyF

thank you!

9:56 am

MonkeyGames

Well, I could try it, Unithorn, and thanks, but I just had 8 acupuncture treatments from a qualified physical therapist specializing in it and electrical stimulation WAS used. Have to research if it's the same approach or if there ar efunctional differences.

9:57 am

MonkeyGames

Hmmm... will ask about that Babs, thank you.

9:57 am

wildcat17

gonna go for a bit bbl

Can anyone clue the 10 before I go?

9:59 am

MonkeyGames

Bye Lexlee!

9:59 am

unithorn

TENS was (if I recall, and this was almost 10 years ago) three or four sensor pads that you placed on the injury in varied spots...did you just use it during said sessions, or...? When my father used it, it was as necessary. Some days, he simply could not be without it - others, he only used it a few times. Used it a LOT when he first started walking again. Just a thought, something to look into...maybe they won't recommend it for you because your injury isn't too severe *sopes*

9:59 am

unithorn

*hopes*

10:00 am

Trifioso

mg - it sort of sounds like what you would have put on sore muscles long ago

10:00 am

MonkeyGames

The treatments involved insertions of acupuncture needles around and in the injury site which were then electrified.

10:00 am

MonkeyGames

First two letters?

10:00 am

wvteach

for the li 10 you need to combine li 4/4 and am 5/12

10:01 am

amelu0218

mg, li 10 is plural of li 9/60

10:01 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

10:01 am

unithorn

Hmm. That's different, then. Well, either way, might be something to ask about. Hope you get to feeling better.

10:01 am

MonkeyGames

Got em, have put plenty of various types of that on horse legs in my time.

10:02 am

MonkeyGames

I'll ask about it. And thank you. OK, off to the kitchen with me! Have fun all.

10:45 am

Thanks, Trif, but, well, I have to. It's just me and my husband and a four year old, no other family for thousands of miles. But my house is a Total Wreck, trust me.

10:46 am

Trifioso

so, since my life has been *so* uneventful lately, here's more fun: the Dell people were able to get my laptop going again, but it meant reinstalling the operating system, which meant I lost EVERY thing I had on there. It's all gone. :(

10:47 am

ick ICK! but at least you got it working!

10:47 am

ae word sounds like a word for something really, really hateful

10:48 am

clue for the re 7/36 please

10:49 am

MonkeyGames

I tried it on a recommendation from someone on here, but after a few days I found it trite and not fully suited to my lifestyle, not to mention too chaotic: all those cross-traffic e-mails! But the tips were pretty good. Even the self-obvious one. So a couple weeks of it was a good kick in the butt. Now my house is a total wreck but unlikely to make anyone ill.

10:49 am

ursh

oh Lord Trif - I would love an uneventful life right now - we having enormous family issues right now

10:49 am

Trifioso

I get the email s in a daily digest - much easier to well....digest

10:50 am

MonkeyGames

Like, of course one knows one SHOULD start the washing machine before leving for the day, but one DOESN'T...

10:50 am

Trifioso

ursh, I am too, trust me - I was being WAY sarcastic

10:50 am

MonkeyGames

Trif is talking down her situation. Uneventful means a chance to rally herself to go on.

10:50 am

MonkeyGames

Maybe I should try that.

10:51 am

What's wrong, Ursh?

10:51 am

ursh

Oh yes Trif i remember - sorry we will think of each other and get through bad times - across the world holding hands

I think a much better plan is for me to come hang out on the beach with you! Our beaches are FROZEN - ick

11:08 am

Haz1558

We've talked of little else. 'That Lori(Canada) is so slow' 'have you heard that Lori(Canada) hasn't finished yet? 'Nothing surprises me about Lori(Canada) - she forgets plurals. Plurals!'

11:09 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. yes she does. yes she is.

11:09 am

LoriP

And I'm evil too! G'd afternoon Haz, haven't seen ya' lately.

11:14 am

Haz1558

But the question is, will John Barrowman get to leave Kent tomorrow?

11:14 am

Atalante

no, I'd rather eat rat vomit

11:15 am

Atalante

hopefully not!

11:15 am

Trifioso

wait - that's the guy from Torchwood, right?

11:15 am

Trifioso

11:15 am

Samy

twilight isn't that bad

11:15 am

Haz1558

Yes, the ugly one with no talent, Trif.

11:15 am

Atalante

yep!!

11:15 am

LoriP

I smell another potential kidnapping....

11:15 am

72 Temple Owl

who is john barrowman and why is ata swooning and threatening to eat ratpuke?

11:15 am

Haz1558

(I've been kind to Samy, I can't summon up any kindness for Ata. I want to hear the righteous indignation.

11:16 am

Atalante

I wish FM would come with me

11:16 am

Atalante

*is so above Haz's taunts*

11:16 am

Samy

I need help

11:16 am

Trifioso

oh, I think he is ****yummy**** However, I believe he bats for the other team, so that's no help to me.

11:16 am

Atalante

he definitely does

11:17 am

LoriP

The psychiatric department is booked solid at this time Samy.

11:17 am

Haz1558

Yes, Ata rides high on a cloud of smug. Brilliant, Einstein's granddaughter and now the chance to see John Barrowman.

11:17 am

Atalante

do you think I could kidnap FM and take her with me?

11:17 am

Trifioso

samy - admitting it is the first step to successful treatment....what can we help you with today, dear?

11:17 am

Haz1558

It depends on how much she resists the kidnapping attempt, Ata.

11:17 am

LoriP

Ata, it's the only way to stop her from wasting time working.

11:17 am

72 Temple Owl

may i come along? i hate it here. i can tie good slipknots.

11:18 am

Atalante

I could bribe her with good coffee

11:18 am

Samy

um I have 20 words but i heard someone say that they have 175 words

11:18 am

Atalante

yes TO! quick! fly over!

11:18 am

Trifioso

i make great scones

11:18 am

Haz1558

We have enough head cases without encouraging more. Have mercy.

11:18 am

LoriP

Won't work Ata, you'll need force. Blackmail maybe?

11:18 am

Atalante

where is FM anyway?

11:18 am

72 Temple Owl

i heard there were $199 fares each way

11:18 am

Trifioso

fm had to get dry cleaning, i think

11:18 am

LoriP

***notes that TO is handy with a rope***

11:18 am

Atalante

I'd pay that to drool at JB

11:19 am

joshuavorbis

samy - i have 166 words and counting. there are 206 possible words in the grid

11:19 am

Haz1558

She's working. She's setting up Babble Airways, lots of fringe benefits.

11:19 am

72 Temple Owl

11:19 am

LoriP

It's ***cough*** TO that's going for drycleaning....

11:19 am

Atalante

well I wish she'd get online, if she's not busy tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to kidnap her

11:19 am

Trifioso

oh, sorry. where did fm go then?

11:19 am

LoriP

TO knows this is more funner than clean clothes. :D

11:19 am

Haz1558

Lori(Canada) can't find words, but she's great at keeping tabs on everyone.

11:20 am

Samy

11:21 am

LoriP

Words? What is it we're here for again?

11:21 am

Haz1558

11:21 am

Haz1558

11:31 am

Haz1558

Look away Lori(Canada)!

11:31 am

Atalante

I had to do it. Sorry, Silverclaw

11:31 am

Samy

guys I'm confused whats with the fractions like 6/18 and 5/10

11:31 am

joshuavorbis

re5/12 + first three letters of the main course

11:31 am

LoriP

***stares at screen with baited breath***

11:32 am

Atalante

or re + consonant + an5!

11:32 am

joshuavorbis

samy, the first number is the number of letters in the word, the 2nd number is the amount of total points for all the tiles in the word

11:32 am

Samy

?

11:32 am

LoriP

Ack! ***leaps from Babble balcony to the pool below***

11:32 am

bichon

ty Josh

11:32 am

Trifioso

LoriP

Thanks josh, Ata Hari

11:33 am

Samy

ohh thanks so much

11:33 am

Atalante

oh my

11:33 am

LoriP

***feels inadequate, assumes the fetal position***

11:33 am

Haz1558

Did nobody tell Lori(Canada) about the pool being drained?

11:33 am

joshuavorbis

a five letter word, the total points on the tiles is doubled, a six letter word, the total points on the tiles is tripled, and so on

11:33 am

LoriP

I thought the landing was a bit rough.

11:34 am

Atalante

why inadequate? that was a horrid word!

11:34 am

joshuavorbis

so re8/45, the word starts with "R-E", is 8 letters long, and has a total of 9 points on all the tiles

11:34 am

Trifioso

....which makes it impossible for math illiterates like me to figure out the tiles from the points....

11:34 am

LoriP

It's not even a real word anyways......

11:34 am

Samy

whats the longest word that someone found? How many letters and points?

11:35 am

Trifioso

lol lori!

11:35 am

Atalante

:D

11:35 am

caitlyn

LOL

11:35 am

Atalante

oops wrong window

11:36 am

LoriP

***soaps Ata's window***

11:36 am

Trifioso

zounds, this grid BLOWS - the only letter I have greyed out is the y - big honkin deal....

11:36 am

joshuavorbis

don't know for sure, samy - probably at least 12 letters, and well over 100 points

11:36 am

FMitch

Evening all :)

11:36 am

Samy

Anyone find a really long word?

11:36 am

Haz1558

I didn't think you'd do anything that looked like housework, Lori.

11:36 am

bichon

re 6/21

11:36 am

Atalante

aha!

11:36 am

Haz1558

SHE LIVES!

11:36 am

Yes Samy

11:36 am

Trifioso

11:36 am

joshuavorbis

there's a 10 letter word in this grid, samy

11:37 am

LoriP

FM, why as I live and breathe. :)

11:37 am

Haz1558

Hey Team Babble :)

11:37 am

LoriP

Haz, housework is a 4 letetr word for me, you know that.

11:37 am

Haz1558

Trif, you need to hang around more to see REALLY unbearable chat.

11:38 am

KristineNas

can i get a clue for the li ten?

11:38 am

LoriP

*** snicker ***

11:38 am

Atalante

FM .......?

11:38 am

Haz1558

I know, Lori(Canada), so was deeply confused that you'd put soap anywhere near windows. It could be misinterpreted.

11:38 am

Samy

5/12

11:38 am

FMitch

wat Ata?

11:38 am

Atalante

what are you doing tomorrow afternoon/evening? Are you working?

11:39 am

LoriP

I disavow any knowledge of soaping Ata's window for cleaning purposes. Vandalism was the intent. Sorry for any ripple effect that it may have had on my reputation.

11:39 am

Haz1558

Be very careful how you reply, FM. Very careful indeed.

11:39 am

Atalante

LOOOOOL

11:39 am

FMitch

ooo I know where youare aiming.....

11:39 am

bichon

draw a straight li** + word at the end of a prayer + first letter of a hot drink with lemon

11:39 am

Atalante

bad Haz!

11:39 am

LoriP

***giggles like a school kid waiting for FM to answer Ata***

11:40 am

Trifioso

oh, thank gawd - tech support just got home from school! Now the laptop can finish getting fixed.

11:40 am

bichon

re 6/21?

11:40 am

FMitch

Where would I have to be and at what time?

11:40 am

Haz1558

She's weakening.

11:40 am

Atalante

I could come and get you!

11:40 am

Haz1558

re6/21 - re plus a part of a shoe or a foot.

11:40 am

caitlyn

Im sitting on the edge of my chair!

11:40 am

LoriP

re + part of your foot

11:41 am

Atalante

if I've got to get on the M25 anyway, I might as well

11:41 am

bichon

ty LoriP

11:41 am

FMitch

What county is the signing in?

11:41 am

Haz1558

I'm trying to picture this. A manic Ata and an FM trying to retain her dignity.

11:41 am

FMitch

... and at what time?

11:41 am

Atalante

this is the bad part ... it's the last place on earth I want to be *whispers* Bluewater

11:42 am

FMitch

LOL Haz!

11:42 am

Atalante

but! in M&S so a bit calmer

11:42 am

Haz1558

But Bluewater sounds so peaceful.

11:42 am

KristineNas

ty bichon

11:43 am

Atalante

it's at 6pm, so I guess I'd get there earlier anyway. If you'd like to come, I'm happy to grab you and take you home. If you dont, no probs!

11:43 am

FMitch

I'd need my passport to got here, which counties does that mall cover? :)

11:43 am

Atalante

every one in england?

11:44 am

Atalante

I can't even remebmer whether it's the mall on this side of the Bridge, or the other side

11:44 am

Atalante

Lakeside's on one side, and Bluewater is on the other

11:44 am

Haz1558

Both equally desirable places to be?

11:45 am

Atalante

equally, yes

11:45 am

Trifioso

How do kids do it? He is home for five seconds, and the laptop is humming again....sigh

11:45 am

Atalante

I've only been to Bluewater once, and it's - undescribable

11:45 am

Haz1558

It's a conspiracy, Trif. Is Al Fayed anywhere nearby?

11:45 am

LoriP

***giggling in the back of the room***

11:45 am

Haz1558

Would travellers like Bluewater?

11:46 am

FMitch

That could be fun but I have a meeting at 9.30 on Friday - leave it with me for now - I could do with a brak and some laughs!!!

11:46 am

Atalante

oh yes

11:46 am

Trifioso

i am laughing as I look at the chat....look at my lone little flag there, amongst all the jacks...oh, and the leaf, too

11:47 am

caitlyn

And my dragon Tri LOL

11:47 am

Haz1558

You mean Lori(Canada)'s leaf? I wonder if she's found those plurals yet..

11:47 am

Atalante

if we left Bluewater at 8 atthe latest - easily I would think - you'd be home at 9:30 easily, probably 9. Anyway, let me know, I'm certainly going and you might be a calming influence!!!

11:47 am

FMitch

**what does one war to meet JB** ?

11:47 am

LoriP

Don't mock me when I'm still here Haz.

11:47 am

Trifioso

11:47 am

FMitch

*wear

11:48 am

Trifioso

I am thinking a man suit, FM

11:48 am

Atalante

sprakles! pink sparkles! no, whatever, I think

11:48 am

LoriP

Calming influence. Is that code for anchor?

11:48 am

Haz1558

Do you dress up as a tardis? That would get you noticed.

11:48 am

FMitch

LOL Trif!!!!!!

11:48 am

Atalante

11:48 am

Haz1558

I can tell you're excited, Ata, your typing has gone to pot.

Always fetching the police, you mean.

11:49 am

caitlyn

LOL

11:50 am

12:35 pm

MonkeyGames

Ah, OK. About the MRI I mean. Well, with my back, I have two flattened discs that are "slightly" ruptured and nobody can do anything about it. The orthopedist feels that it should stop getting worse and start showing improvement within another couple of months.

12:35 pm

stidmama

oh! golly. thanks!

12:35 pm

nrkii

then e + what you find in the bottom of your pocket

Hi again Trif!

urgh. a couple months with a little one needing stuff is a VERY LONG TIME.

12:35 pm

MonkeyGames

echange? Oh, wait, oh, I see!! Thanks.

12:36 pm

Trifioso

mg....help....I got a "poor me" email about how he now has nowhere to go tomorrow....resolve weakening....

12:36 pm

stidmama

did you tell the doc that you need a medical note so you can have maid service?

12:36 pm

stidmama

AH! now I have another grey tile...

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

Weaken not!!! Has he no family nor friends in your town???

12:36 pm

nrkii

trif, who has nowhere to go?

12:37 pm

Atalante

oh poooor him, Trif. Ignore him! Tell him to watch TV!

12:37 pm

nrkii

if someone you are on outs with (like an ex), then get him a list of all the restaurants offering thanksgiving dinner tomorrow

12:37 pm

Atalante

his problem. not yours.

12:37 pm

Trifioso

no family but mine, and yes, we do have friends, and I know for a FACT he is invited other places...unless, of course, they changed their minds about him too

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

2 months is half how long it's been already.... Anyeway, I have actually requested "maid service" (they call it household help here), but I don't need a note-- they'll call my doctor.

12:37 pm

stidmama

trifioso! *stern mama look* be strong, be brave. be stubborn. be resolute. (be smart)

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Good idea, nrk.

12:37 pm

Trifioso

dennys sounds about right....

12:38 pm

FMitch

Trif - you stay strong and stick with it!!!

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

So tell him that you do not appreciate him attempting to manipulate you by actuing whiny.

12:38 pm

Trifioso

man, you all are just the shot in the arm a gal needs!

12:38 pm

Atalante

there's always McDonalds

12:38 pm

periwinkle

we are very supportive of each other

12:38 pm

stidmama

remember that the movies are a great place to go on holidays because most of the obnoxious people are stuck at home with crazy inlaws!

12:38 pm

nrkii

or give him a list of the people you know invited him!

12:39 pm

Atalante

hahaha yes! perfect, nrkii

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Under no circumstances let him engage you in debate. If necessary screen calls. Just tell him you're not responsible for him and if he acn't figure out something for himself that's just too bad.

12:39 pm

featherbee

hello babbleites

12:39 pm

hi feather!

12:39 pm

DO NOT ENGAGE. That just makes one miserable and it's what he wants.

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi feather!

12:40 pm

stidmama

glad you will get maid service, monkey -- wish they had that in the states... but of course I would have to clean before a maid could be of any use. *sigh* two more weeks, then I am done with school and can start to do all the things I couldn't over the summer. Providing, of course, the hip stays in place.

12:40 pm

stidmama

hi feather! half day?

12:40 pm

12:41 pm

featherbee

lol, nah, haircut was fine. my turn for babble group therapy i think!

12:41 pm

MonkeyGames

Aww, trif, you're perfectly intelligent-- you're just sensitive and a nice person too. DOn't let him take advantage of that.

12:41 pm

stidmama

yes Monkey --- WE CAN DO IT!!!!

12:41 pm

featherbee

every year, we eat dinner at mom's house at 11:30, then have to rush naps and turn around and go to dad and stepmom's at 2.

12:42 pm

stidmama

well, whine away...

12:42 pm

stidmama

*gasp* you don't!

12:42 pm

MonkeyGames

You KNOW we can, Stid!

12:42 pm

nrkii

ah feather, you just have to learn what my brother learned years ago...

12:42 pm

periwinkle

feather that is a lot to do in one day, espec, with small children

12:42 pm

stidmama

you can't do one on Thursday and one on Friday?

12:42 pm

nrkii

the parents of the grandchildren make the rules, not the grandparents

12:42 pm

featherbee

we were going to do brunch at my mom's this year. until i realized that she was still having a turkey dinner...without us...and started feeling weepy about it.

12:43 pm

featherbee

just called mom, our turkey dinner is back on. however, now i need to deal wiht calling dad and saying that we'll be there for dessert only.

12:43 pm

MonkeyGames

Ouch, Feather. Almost makes me glad to have no family outside the house here... and of course Thanksgiving is not a holiday here either...

12:43 pm

stidmama

*attempt at being helpful* we don't "do" holidays with extended family any more. Too much hassle. We have quiet time at home instead.

12:43 pm

nrkii

we

12:43 pm

featherbee

i would love to do that stid, but i still want to do things wiht my mom. so have to be "fair" to dad.

12:43 pm

stidmama

oh gee feather... *worried mama look*

12:44 pm

nrkii

we're at the point now where my parents and I go to my brother's mother-in-law's for thanksgiving, and my brother's in-laws come to my parents' house for easter

12:44 pm

stidmama

why, feather? why do you "have" to be fair? what about being fair to you???

12:44 pm

Pinikula

back...and I can probably top you all...

12:44 pm

Pinikula

(without dismissing your dilemnas)

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

Trif? You still there? Not on the phone letting him badger you?

12:44 pm

featherbee

because they always lay a guilt trip on me.

12:44 pm

stidmama

*nodding at nrk's solution* we did something similar with the parentals when our children were little.

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

Let's hear it, Pink.

12:44 pm

nrkii

it does get simpler eventually, but only when you start making the rules... and you can totally use the kids as an excuse

12:45 pm

featherbee

i don't know nrk, it's harder when it's your mom vs. dad rather than inlaws

12:45 pm

Pinikula

I'll be spending my Thanksgiving with the turkey...

12:45 pm

nrkii

my niece and nephew do the same, with my brother and his first wife

12:45 pm

nrkii

they make the rules basically, because they're the ones everyone wants to see

12:45 pm

Trifioso

no no, still here. He doesn't call, really. I was foolishly looking for words in the grid

12:45 pm

Pinikula

...and all of those who are Babbling...

12:45 pm

stidmama

The guilt trips is why we stopped going anywhere... and the craziness. Our parentals are not laid-back hosts, and I need more sanity.

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh, that's futile.

12:45 pm

featherbee

i WANT to do stuff with mom, and would like to do stuff with dad, but wished i felt like they were more flexible. for pete's sake, my mom's already starting lunch at 11:30 for us!

12:46 pm

stidmama

um... pini? which turkey? a human turkey?

12:46 pm

Trifioso

pini - I think I know someone you can spend Thanksgiving with....

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

I mean what Trif said, not any later posts...

12:46 pm

Atalante

so will I, pini. and even without a turkey

12:46 pm

aslindy

OK, I think I have tried every combo but nothing works. Any hints for el 4/5 ?

12:46 pm

featherbee

my stepmom has a son driving down from a few hours away, so it always has to be an early dinner to accomodate that

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, Pink, I'll be on... not even a holiday here.

12:46 pm

nrkii

yeah, feather, I'd trade holidays with them... dad gets Christmas Eve, mom gets Thanksgiving, etc

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

el + hello

12:46 pm

Pinikula

the turkey you eat...

12:46 pm

stidmama

I'll be here, at least part of the time.

12:46 pm

Pinikula

who's that Trif?

12:47 pm

featherbee

can't do that nrk, cause doug's brother gets christmas this year.

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

Can I burst into tears and say I miss my grandfather now?

12:47 pm

featherbee

i hate this.

12:47 pm

nrkii

Easter then

12:47 pm

stidmama

feather... do what you must tomorrow... and then consider what would make YOU and your precious children most comfortable and happy on the next holiday.

12:47 pm

nrkii

or Superbowl Sunday

12:47 pm

featherbee

sure monkey, you can cry with me. ((((hugs))))

12:47 pm

nrkii

seriously, they have other people visiting... not like you're leaving them alone

12:47 pm

stidmama

oh monkey... ((((hugs))))

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

VERY good advice, Stid.

12:47 pm

aslindy

thanks monkey... thought I'd tried that one!

12:48 pm

nrkii

amen Stid

12:48 pm

nrkii

sorry Monkey!!!

12:48 pm

Trifioso

I agree with nrkii - esp if the kids are little - no one wants a "vomiting child" at their holiday meal...oh, it looks like little barfy isn't feeling well, can we see you tomorrow? I am sure it is one of those 24 hour things....

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks. I miss my grandmother more-- but at least I can talk to Sam.

12:48 pm

featherbee

lol tri!

12:48 pm

nrkii

st7 help please?

12:49 pm

Pinikula

Ata...the only reason I'm making a turkey (a whopping 9 pounder) is because it was on sale (for obvious reasons) and makes good leftovers...

12:49 pm

aslindy

sorry for all of you with loss...

12:49 pm

periwinkle

st7 what holds a flower up and male offspring

12:49 pm

stidmama

that's true... I am glad you can. I can't talk with my grandmother any more even though her body is alive, she is alert for only a few minutes a day. And those minutes are unpredictable.

12:49 pm

nrkii

thanks peri -- would not have found that one!

12:49 pm

Trifioso

I am not kidding featherbee, I am totally serious. A little white lie never hurt anyone

12:49 pm

stidmama

thanks for the st7

12:49 pm

12:50 pm

featherbee

i know tri, but i just can't do that...i'd yet again feel too guilty.

12:50 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh ouch, Stid. My husband is going through that with his grabndfather. Walter is named after him... something we could do for him before he wouldn't notice anymore.

12:50 pm

stidmama

I have pulled the "kids have a cold coming on" routine once or twice. usually to ditch school and do something more important though...

12:50 pm

aslindy

yes, thanks

12:50 pm

MonkeyGames

Thank you, aslind, ytou're sweet.

12:50 pm

featherbee

daniel does have a cold though......

12:50 pm

Trifioso

I think you need to put your needs in the mix too, feather - said most gently....

12:50 pm

Atalante

brb I need fooooooood

12:50 pm

stidmama

*stamping feet AND stern mama look* feather! what are you teaching your children?!?

12:51 pm

MonkeyGames

Well said gently, Trif, and sternly, Stid.

12:51 pm

stidmama

your children need to learn how to gently and firmly assert their own needs and rights. YOU are the only role model they have for that!

12:51 pm

nrkii

feather, I'd tell them the truth... it's too hard to do two in one day, so next year you're going to start alternating holidays

12:51 pm

nrkii

period

12:51 pm

nrkii

they will still love you

12:51 pm

featherbee

i'm going to do this. say to dad "plans got changed, we can't do the brunch at mom's house. so we're doing turkey there. then we're coming home for naps, and we'll be at your house after naps. don't hold dinner for us."

12:52 pm

stidmama

That is a GOOD plan, feather.

12:52 pm

MonkeyGames

There you go, Feather. Nobody can expect you to be two people!!!

12:52 pm

featherbee

now it's getting up the courage to call.

12:52 pm

nrkii

excellent plan!

12:52 pm

Trifioso

feather, you are a good mom, and a good daughter.

12:52 pm

periwinkle

sounds like a plan to me, feather

12:52 pm

periwinkle

you can do it, feather!

12:52 pm

stidmama

*standing next to feather so she can make the call*

12:52 pm

Pinikula

Feather: Dinner at Mom's; Dessert at Dad's / Next year: Light brunch at Mom's; Dinner at Dad's...

12:52 pm

featherbee

no, i'm a weepy, guilty, wishy washy daughter. however, i just can't do both.

12:53 pm

Trifioso

go girl go

12:53 pm

stidmama

I don't like making phone calls...

12:53 pm

periwinkle

feather, you can't always please everyone

12:53 pm

featherbee

can't call right now, gotta wait till my mood is more settled.

12:53 pm

featherbee

yeah, i've heard that mentioned before peri. usually in relation to me trying to be everywhere at once.

12:53 pm

Pinikula

If I've learned anything from my therapist...you need to do what is best for you and be able to tell others what you want.

12:54 pm

periwinkle

sending positive vibes to feather to keep her calm and centered

12:54 pm

MonkeyGames

Deep breaths. You can do this. Certainly wait until you're well grounded.

12:54 pm

nrkii

feather, you have to be selfish on behalf of your family!

12:54 pm

stidmama

okay, well I absolutely MUST shower and get dressed. It takes me longer than normal the last couple days... so I will be back later. Feather, do you want to drop me a note once you have made the call?

12:54 pm

nrkii

meaning your husband and kids

12:54 pm

stidmama

*handing feather a cup of cocoa to soothe nerves*

12:54 pm

Bye Stid! Hang in there, keep me informed, and Take Care Of Yourself!!!!

1:09 pm

Pinikula

what the heck is "fluffernutter"???

1:09 pm

Trifioso

sacrilege!

1:09 pm

Pinikula

hi TO

1:09 pm

nrkii

fluffernutter = Fluff + peanut butter... Fluff is a marshmallow cream product from the Northeast

1:10 pm

Pinikula

* cringing * I guess so, nrk...sure don't have it out here!!!

1:10 pm

Pinikula

We do have GooberJelly tho!!!

1:10 pm

Pinikula

(which is 'ok' in small doses)

1:10 pm

Atalante

it's lovely in an artificial-100%-sugar sort of way!

1:10 pm

nrkii

Fluff is way better than regular marshmallow creme (like Kraft)

1:11 pm

Trifioso

trust us easties then - It's heaven between 2 slices of bread

1:11 pm

nrkii

my mom used to ship it to me when I lived in California

1:11 pm

featherbee

i did it! i did it!

1:11 pm

nrkii

now Ata, it has egg whites in it too...

1:11 pm

1:12 pm

Trifioso

SUCH a self-esteem babble workshop today!

1:12 pm

featherbee

dad was totally fine with it! i said about how things got switched, and that with the boys being sick with colds i really wanted to make sure they got their naps, so we'd be up after naps. he said, ok, that's fine, we may have to start without you then. i said, ok, that's fine with me if it's fine with you!!!

1:12 pm

featherbee

then he said it might actually work out better because my stepmom was trying to figure out how to seat everyone.

1:13 pm

nrkii

see?

1:13 pm

Pinikula

* major sigh of relief * weed...good for you!!!!

1:13 pm

nrkii

they still love you!

1:13 pm

featherbee

ok, yeah yeah.... lol!

1:13 pm

Pinikula

I'm glad you'll be able to spend time with them, feather...

1:14 pm

nrkii

okay continuing my tutorial on FLUFF, it is also amazing in hot chocolate

1:14 pm

Atalante

anticipation is *always* the worst. when you ask people something sensible, it usually works out ok!

1:15 pm

jacq

FLUFF? is that the belly button by-product?

1:15 pm

jacq

you eat that??????

1:15 pm

Atalante

ewww!

1:16 pm

jacq

could be worse i suppose, it could be marmite flavoured

1:16 pm

Pinikula

what is "marmite"?

1:16 pm

Atalante

uhoh here we go ....

1:16 pm

jacq

really thick viscous liquid poop

1:17 pm

Atalante

liquid tar

1:17 pm

Pinikula

ewwwwwwwww ... gross!!!

1:17 pm

jacq

salty as hell, it's a waste product from breewers yeast

1:17 pm

Pinikula

I think I'm glad I don't know about such things...

1:17 pm

jacq

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

1:17 pm

jacq

that was the Boss

1:17 pm

Atalante

ew ew ew marmite is horrid

1:17 pm

jacq

he eats that cr*p

1:17 pm

jacq

i agree Ata

1:18 pm

It sounds like what might be found in the bottom of a spittoon!

1:18 pm

Any hints for am 5 and am 6?

1:18 pm

Marmite rocks!!!

1:18 pm

Fluff also makes lovely s'mores....

am 5/6 sounds like what you make to say sorry

1:18 pm

jacq

am and sounds like the things on the side of your head

1:18 pm

Atalante

smores mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

1:18 pm

Pinikula

can you toast fluff tho?

1:19 pm

Pinikula

I have the stuff for S'mores as we speak!!!

1:19 pm

jacq

what in the name of the wee man is smores?

1:19 pm

Trifioso

no, you can't toast fluff, but you can nuke the cracker and choc, and then add the other cracker with fluff on it

1:19 pm

jacq

the belly button by-product can be toasted, briased and even bbq'd

1:19 pm

Atalante

smores are gorgeous and 100% sugar too. Graham crackers sandwiched with chocolate and toasted marshmallows

1:19 pm

Pinikula

S'mores are graham crackers on either side of a toasted marshmellow with chocolate...

1:19 pm

jacq

and a graham cracker is?????

1:20 pm

Pinikula

Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smore

1:20 pm

Atalante

think digestive biscuit. ish. but sweeter

1:20 pm

Trifioso

and this is where it breaks down - trust me, i ahve tried to explain this in ireland a million times. There is NO cultural equivalent for a graham cracker

1:20 pm

jacq

ooooooooh, sounds sweet and nice

1:20 pm

Pinikula

graham cracker is a honey-ish flavoured biscuit

1:20 pm

jacq

now i want chocolate

1:20 pm

jacq

sweetmeal digestives?

1:21 pm

Pinikula

Trif...I use spreadable chocolate frosting (from the tub) instead of a candy bar...it doesn't fall out!!!!

1:21 pm

jacq

hobnobs?

1:21 pm

aslindy

ok... jac q I had that one... and Tri... I don't get it.

1:22 pm

jacq

ok lindy, sorry

1:22 pm

Atalante

jacq - imagine a square digestive biscuit, but a bit thicker, and sweeter and honey-ish

1:22 pm

jacq

square hobnob?

1:22 pm

jacq

lol

1:22 pm

aslindy

thanks for trying though

1:22 pm

Atalante

nope, no bits like in hobnobs :D

1:23 pm

Atalante

if you spread a digestive with a very thin layer of runny honey, you;d get pretty much exactly the same taste

1:23 pm

jacq

ok, thank god i hate hobnobs

1:23 pm

aslindy

maybe a graham cracker is a bit like very dry, thin honey-ish cake.

1:23 pm

jacq

amens

1:23 pm

1:29 pm

What happened was... I had never seen the show. Walter and I were trying to find a table at a restaurant at the airport coming back from seeing my grandfather in California. We were at the bar, the only empty area, and teh fellow there said no 4-year-olds at the bar, which is of course reasonable. So I ordered our food and we cast about for somewhere else, and saw this lady at a table. I asked if we coudl sit there and she said of course, and was for the next while extremely gracious about Walter (3 1/2 at the time) continually handing her mustard and menus and stuff. Then we all left to our separate flights, I flew with a toddler for 15 hours, I put him to bed, we turned on the TV and decoided to check out this show, and THERE she was!

2:09 pm

3:46 pm

herinfernallady

I had the joys of working in Queen of the Damned and Stewart Townsend meeting. I managed not to be a fan geek but it did help that he was being a complete tosser

3:47 pm

Vicuna

Sex and eating are both much more joyful than cooking, in my opinion.

3:47 pm

jacq

lol lady

3:47 pm

hurshy

i don't think sex ever produces oatmeal molasses bread, jacq, so, no...

3:47 pm

jacq

it might, but god it would chaffe

3:47 pm

KatieMcG

Good grief it really is a night of confessions jac

3:47 pm

4:00 pm

KatieMcG

I can't believe such behaviour!!

4:00 pm

Vicuna

Poor Haz. She spends her life so shocked that her hair is standing up in a frizz and you can see her skeleton.

4:00 pm

Vicuna

I would have thought wearing rubber dishwashing gloves all the time would have prevented some of those shocks, but apparently not...

4:24 pm

Pinikula

The store mixed "fresh" turkeys with the "frozen" and said if you buy $50 worth of groceries, you get the turkey at $0.52 / lb...

4:25 pm

Pinikula

Suffice it to say, I bought a 10# turkey for $22 friggin' bucks...

4:25 pm

Atalante

ew ew ew turkey

4:25 pm

Pinikula

...and they won't honor the mixup in their meat dept.

4:25 pm

meliae

has anyone seen the commercial on TV with the lady fighting with that huge turkey and it ends up flying out of her hands and knocking out her hubby who is out in the yard?

4:25 pm

herinfernallady

Thats ok if its not frozen? Its frozen isn't it?

4:25 pm

Pinikula

No, it's a "fresh" one...

4:26 pm

meliae

its thawed and is so darn funny

4:26 pm

Pinikula

apparently, the "deal" was for the "frozen" ones

4:26 pm

Vicuna

I hope it's a *really* good turkey, though!

4:26 pm

herinfernallady

Ok. SO you could cut it in half and freeze half and take the legs off for pterodactyl legs.

4:26 pm

herinfernallady

No Melaie i haven't.

4:26 pm

Pinikula

I hope so, too...since I'll be eating it by myself...

4:26 pm

Pinikula

I hate holidays

4:27 pm

meliae

oh Pini I would go fight tooth and nail with them and make them, make it right

4:27 pm

herinfernallady

Pini what about off loading it at chrissy?

4:27 pm

Pinikula

I tried...just spoke with 3 people...all said I was SOL

4:28 pm

4:28 pm

herinfernallady

Ok so my math is really poo but is that expensive for turkey?

4:28 pm

4:28 pm

Pinikula

I don't have anyone to offload it at chrissy either

Pini all i can think off is helping a local church with some off it

4:29 pm

Uneaixoise

Pini, if you don't want it, give it to a soup kitchen!

4:29 pm

meliae

Pini go back and ask for a managet I have fought with them before over stuff, and when I asked for a manager they made it right

4:29 pm

herinfernallady

SNAP UNE

4:29 pm

Uneaixoise

last year we served 20 turkeys!

4:30 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, herin :-)

4:30 pm

Pinikula

It's not that I don't want it...it's the fact that I would NEVER have paid that much for a turkey to eat by myself without the "deal".

4:30 pm

Atalante

no! the deal was misleading, they should make it right

4:30 pm

mymuseisme

Hi Une :0

4:30 pm

Pinikula

I spoke with the manager, mel...he's even a friend (our dau's played sports together)...he said he couldn't do anything about it.

4:30 pm

meliae

exactly my point!

4:31 pm

Atalante

that reminds me, Tesco's charged me Â£4 for a pack of cereal a few days ago, I must sort that out

4:31 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, mymuse! good to see you!

4:31 pm

Haz1558

Ah well. Tescos.

4:31 pm

mymuseisme

things very expensive here ... 12 lb fresh turkey cost me $36

4:31 pm

Pinikula

it just makes me feel like tmw will be even more "lonley"...T-day alone...

4:31 pm

Atalante

we're stuffed here though, it's tesco's or the co-op, and the co-op hardly has any stuff in it

4:32 pm

Pinikula

...oh, I do have my dog...but he can't do much to help with that.

4:32 pm

herinfernallady

I donate to a chrismas tree thing most years when i have money. i did work at the local soup kitchen but there was one person that i couldn't stand being near (think closer to killing him ever time i saw him (i lived next door to him) I had to stop working there

4:32 pm

herinfernallady

Pini We love you

4:32 pm

meliae

dang I am getting to the point where I am close to not shopping at winco, did you know if you leave the store with aproduct they claim they cannot take it back? well how the heck you suppose to know if its spoiled unless you take it home and open it?

4:32 pm

Uneaixoise

it could be worse, pini--looks like we'll be spending it with my mom in the hospital

4:32 pm

Pinikula

thanks herin...

4:33 pm

herinfernallady

OH Uni. hugs

4:33 pm

Actually, it's worse, une...my parents are local (in the same town)...

4:33 pm

meliae

My 10 lb turkey was about $6.00 at the local Kroger store, if you bought $10 of groceries in addition.!!!

4:33 pm

Uneaixoise

Pini! Ohmygosh, how awful!

4:34 pm

Uneaixoise

thanks for the hugs :-)

4:34 pm

herinfernallady

OH i have had the most awesome Idea for a Christmas present. Instead of buying a hamper (with a wicker basket that no one seems to use) buy a shopping hamper that you can take to the store and stuff with home made goods.

4:35 pm

herinfernallady

Pini I am sorry about the lack of family issue. Hugs. Hi INge

4:35 pm

mymuseisme

4:36 pm

4:38 pm

mymuseisme

is this te7 a fish?

4:38 pm

Pinikula

Just so you don't think I'm a terrible woos; there's so much more to the "family" thing around here (or lack thereof since they're all alive and nearby)...

4:39 pm

Pinikula

...so I guess the turkey fiasco was just the icing on the cake for today.

4:39 pm

herinfernallady

Understand Pini

4:39 pm

jacq

pini, families can and often do hurt us in ways no other can, you're not a woose

4:39 pm

Uneaixoise

4:40 pm

Haz1558

Hello Une.

4:40 pm

Pinikula

Dang it...I've said way too much...

4:41 pm

herinfernallady

PIni Family are who you choose

4:41 pm

Pinikula

...it wasn't my intent to taint my experience here in Babbleland...this is an outlet for me. So, thanks for your understanding, patience, and open ear.

4:41 pm

jacq

nods, i agree with lady, you can have a better closer relationship with friends and they become family

4:41 pm

Atalante

go for it, pini! we all do it!

4:42 pm

Pinikula

...and I consider THIS family, herin...

4:42 pm

Pinikula

herinfernallady

5:17 pm

Anniebrook

Waifs??

5:17 pm

Trifioso

on purpose, as in you hate them, or just because you don't know of them?

5:18 pm

Trifioso

the Waifs are just about my favorite band, and they are from oz

5:18 pm

iumanwwjd123

hey, my lil bro Puruestinks2008 is trying to log in, but when he hits it, it comes back to this home, without him logged in, anyone know anything on this topic?

5:18 pm

iumanwwjd123

ande hey trifoso, annie, and cj

5:18 pm

Anniebrook

okay, I thought Waifs was similar to the children's Wiggles...

5:18 pm

Atalante

yes. he was being uber annoying, so I think DrG flushed him

5:19 pm

Haz1558

iuman - I e-mailed Dr-G about him, he was being a nuisance and behaving like a troll.

5:19 pm

Anniebrook

hello uman

5:19 pm

herinfernallady

I know them Trifs but I haven't got into them. Love love love CLaire Bowditch and The Cat empire

5:19 pm

iumanwwjd123

ok, how was he doing that?

5:19 pm

Trifioso

hey there uma! DO NOT ask me a computer query today, as the gods are clearly angry with me - had to reinstall the os on my laptop this morning, and lost every single thing on it....boooooo

5:19 pm

5:21 pm

iumanwwjd123

ok, thanks everyone for wat happened... ill try to get him to stop

5:21 pm

Haz1558

My suggestion is that puruestinks isn't really ready for this type of game or this type of chat log. Shouldn't he be supervised better?

5:21 pm

Trifioso

hmmm. I met one of the waifs once, and we chatted for a bit, and I grinned for about a week. But then, I am a totally geek, so there you go

5:22 pm

iumanwwjd123

sry, i thought he was just getting the words... but its not your business whether he is supervised or not Haz!

5:22 pm

herinfernallady

CLaire lived up the road from me

5:22 pm

Atalante

actually, it is. we have to use this site

5:23 pm

Trifioso

that's so cool herin! I find I listen to the music differently when there is a personal connection

5:23 pm

cjmomma

Iuman...look at the chatbox log for that time you will see

5:23 pm

herinfernallady

Actually its called PARENTAL responsibility. Dog knows what pervs are online

5:23 pm

Haz1558

If his interest is in finding words, then tell him not to use the chat log.
