hi Ata

5:54 am

LoriP

G'd morning Ata Hari. Hobbit has been indulged in unwarranted energy burning? :p

5:55 am

Atalante

much energy burning. generally in the chasing of small rodents with big fluffy tails

5:57 am

LoriP

Good for a few hours then.

5:57 am

jjks

stuck at 70 - bbl

5:57 am

Atalante

unfortunately, the small rodents with big fluffy tails tend to be able to climb trees and Hobbit can't, which annoys her greatly

5:58 am

LoriP

Later jj

5:59 am

LoriP

If you were a proper dog owner, you'd facilitate Hobbit's needs by carrying it up the tree, as a minimum.

6:00 am

Atalante

says the woman who keeps her cats in a cold, windy shed :P

6:01 am

suefrad625

she put some soul into that song

10:57 am

mrpresident

the inaug is going to be over the top chris.

10:57 am

Christine

Don't like the way she sang it -- trills and things broke up the flow of the words.

10:57 am

Chris P

at the risk of upsetting most of the babblers here - that's the americans for you

10:59 am

phaeton

Chris...that's usually just the entertainers...a lot of us 'americans' would rather hear it the way it was written...especially our National Anthem

10:59 am

bfsog

hello to all the babblers who arent watching a glorified welcome party!

10:59 am

Chris P

I meant to mrp's comment

10:59 am

10:59 am

storyteller

I lost all respect(HA, a pun) for her when she showed up , I think , at Clinton's party. She had 100 lbs of fur on!! She looked like something a giant cat coughed up! Not that you asked, sorry.

10:59 am

Krista

me too, kje..it's Aretha..it's what she does

10:59 am

Christine

I'm a Brit, in US for almost 48 years, and I can't agree - there are people in any country who overdo things. A beautiful song that she spoiled for a lot of us/

11:00 am

mrpresident

chris, I am not an american! LOL, just waving the flag today

11:00 am

phaeton

well it is a monumental moment...and you can't blame them for wanting to celebrate

11:00 am

kje

and I find it hilarious that someone from a country with a queen and more pomp than ever existed here in the US thinks this is over the top... lolol

11:00 am

mrpresident

I am sitting comfortably in Sydney Australia in the stinking hot!

11:00 am

Christine

Oops ...

11:02 am

phaeton

11:02 am

Chris P

at least the americans got to vote their leader in - we're stuck with an unelected leader who's systematically destroying our country

11:02 am

kje

I sympathise with those musicians trying to play in that cold... can't imagine trying to keep a clarinet in tune in that weather

11:03 am

mrpresident

oh chris... I know... I read the Mail and it is aweful!

11:03 am

Krista

11:05 am

Krista

11:05 am

mrpresident

11:05 am

kje

11:05 am

ch1212

He becomes President at 12 noon, regardless of being sworn in. Here we go!!!

11:05 am

Christine

What a day, it's like seeing your kid graduate - a whole new time ahead. He became Pres at noon, even if the oath hadn't been administered.

11:05 am

phaeton

the oath is a formallity...he became pres at 12:00..with or without the oath

11:05 am

Krista

ah ty

11:05 am

mrpresident

here he comes.... congratulations america! you have a new prezzie!!

11:05 am

ch1212

The 20th Amendment provides for the transition at exactly 12 noon.

11:05 am

Krista

WHEEEEE

11:06 am

ch1212

WHOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

11:06 am

11:06 am

ch1212

It's so amazing to see the coverage from all over the world! Very humbling.

11:07 am

Krista

what a long road, in so very many ways

11:07 am

mrpresident

there are 1 billion people watching ch1212

11:07 am

mrpresident

11:09 am

ch1212

he's not reading from a teleprompter! Wow.

11:10 am

mrpresident

wow... he is spelling out the crisis!

11:10 am

Christine

A lot of people feel W stole the elections, then proceeded to steal eight years; there are some things that can never be corrected, many lives shattered by having a buffoon for a president.

11:10 am

westford

hello all this is so exciting

11:10 am

lilliann

Hi all......I think he's a wonderful guy!

11:10 am

mrpresident

11:10 am

harpjane

11:10 am

lilliann

11:10 am

Krista

countries

11:10 am

harpjane

Hussein actually means Handsome

11:11 am

ch1212

He is so eloquent, so elegant! No Harp, this is his inaugral address. The State of the Union address comes later.

11:11 am

mrpresident

krista... pleasure to do so

11:11 am

harpjane

So his name is B Handsome Obama!

11:12 am

mrpresident

I like that he is a young man... going to be around for a long time (God willing)

11:12 am

pugmama763

and indeed he is...

11:12 am

Krista

i worry about his safety like no other president

11:12 am

harpjane

me too krista

11:12 am

mrpresident

me too

11:13 am

Christine

my neigghbor's 7year-old grandson is named Hussein, and he's soooooo excited to have the Pres 'named after him'.

11:13 am

westford

I haven't had this much hope in a long long time

11:13 am

elbbab!

Krista - we watch from around the world as what happens in the USA affects the planet

11:13 am

pugmama763

if the secret service managed to protect the most hated leader on the planet (Bush) I guess they can handle this

11:13 am

ch1212

me either, westford. This was the first election I donated to and worked for, not just voted in.

11:13 am

Book Doctor Gwen

afternoon all, and woot!

11:13 am

mrpresident

hope is what gives you a new beginning

11:14 am

harpjane

I wonder what Rush Limbaugh is saying right now? He's usually on at this time

11:14 am

Krista

we all want to have a better worldwide reputation, elbbab

11:14 am

phaeton

hopefully everyone has been preempted including radio

11:14 am

Krista

woot indeed! hi Gwen

11:14 am

ch1212

My hope is Rush is practising what he preached when Bush jr. won --- that now we have a new President, we SUPPORT him and become American, not partisan.

11:15 am

Krista

fathead Limbaugh

11:15 am

pugmama763

I hope all the ignorant racist aswipes are dropping from strokes as we speak

11:16 am

Flask1

Good afternoon everyone....and congratulations to all you lucky Americans on your new President!

11:16 am

harpjane

that's what rush has been saying so far

11:16 am

mrpresident

funny enough, I don't see the colour of his skin, I see a tasteful, intelligent man who looks to care

11:16 am

harpjane

thank you flask

11:16 am

phaeton

ty flask...on behalf of all us lucky americans. :D

11:16 am

pugmama763

11:17 am

Krista

thank you, Flask!

11:17 am

phaeton

mrp...some people see the black, some see the white..I see the best choice

11:18 am

ch1212

I know, MrP! I was listening to the media earlier going on about 'historic' because of the color, and had a moment of 'what?' because it is indeed his heart that shines through. I read his books and understand the importance of the racial issue in his election, but I personally think it is his light and heart that we need.

11:18 am

Flask1

I hope and pray for his safety.....and that no foolish people are allowed to bring any harm to him or his family....

11:18 am

featherbee

i think he is a visionary, with the great ability to inspire people for many different reasons

11:18 am

phaeton

Hear! Hear!

11:23 am

11:24 am

Krista

Oh...you're absolutely right, westford! So he is. :)

11:24 am

Book Doctor Gwen

and dare i say, woot! again

11:25 am

featherbee

i find the relative quiet of the crowd very interesting. i remember other inaugural addresses that were interrupted every other sentence by applause. i think he has everyone spellbound.

11:25 am

westford

double woot

11:25 am

Flask1

you're right phaeton...already got it....but thanx anyway!

11:25 am

Krista

It's a good day for wooting.

Book Doctor Gwen

i was so excited i got the car washed.

11:25 am

phaeton

do you have da6?

11:26 am

Krista

you're right, Feather.they are very quiet

11:26 am

Flask1

How he can stand there and speak with such to so many millions of people watching...and absolutely no prompting...just amazes me!!

11:26 am

pugmama763

da6---da+ S.Palin liked to say "you be****".

11:26 am

mrpresident

very good speech... *clap clap clap*

11:27 am

Flask1

very heartfelt!

11:27 am

ch1212

Hallelujah! (clap, clap, clap) (wipes away tears)

11:27 am

featherbee

it's very hard to properly listen to it with a tired, bored 4 year old beside me!

11:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

flask, years of experience. plus he has a high level of *calmness* juice, to coin a phrase

11:27 am

pugmama763

I think W is probably not a bad man, but he's not politically savvy, not exactly educated or able to speak publicly, and then he had that evil man for his VP ... what hope did we have?

12:34 pm

I usually buy make up in the drugstore

12:34 pm

stidmama

great clue jmc

12:34 pm

stidmama

oooh. nice, peri! (better hide it from nancy boy...)

12:34 pm

jmcnrick

I stole it stid

12:34 pm

aslindy

I gave up wearing makeup about 15 years ago

12:34 pm

I bought makeup about 20 years ago... stil using it. I don't wear it all that often.

I wear for filming and speeches

12:35 pm

yes peri, extend the fish

12:35 pm

aslindy

please tell me you aren't using 20-year-old mascara!

12:35 pm

featherbee

makeup? what's that? does chapstick count?

12:35 pm

stidmama

filming? speeches???

12:35 pm

jmcnrick

yes peri that is the right one

12:35 pm

periwinkle

MOnkey Games, you must throw all of it out, contaminated!!

12:35 pm

stidmama

LOL feather! how's nick doing now?

12:35 pm

jmcnrick

hi feather

12:35 pm

caitlyn

Hi feather

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

No, OK, I usually don't bother with mascara... but I did get some about 9 years ago. Using that when we go to the opera every, ummm, 9 years.

12:36 pm

aslindy

OK, I use plain chapstick... I don't count that as makeup. It's more like lotion for your lips.

12:36 pm

featherbee

threw up on the way to the babysitter's today. had to turn right back around.

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

It still looks OK, Peri...

12:36 pm

aslindy

oh, feather.... that's awful

12:36 pm

jmcnrick

there is chapstick with a pale color to it

12:36 pm

stidmama

*nodding head at old makeup comments* bacteria can grow quickly in that medium. dry cakes of blush might be okay, but not liquids and mascara

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

Poor kid!

12:36 pm

periwinkle

doesn't matter, Monkey, throw it out

12:36 pm

jmcnrick

poor feather!

12:36 pm

caitlyn

(((((((feather)))))))

12:36 pm

featherbee

nick's been napping for 2 hours so far, hope he goes 2 more. he looked like he needed it.

12:36 pm

aslindy

looks don't count for contamination, my dear.

12:36 pm

periwinkle

thanks for the sh6, never would have found it

12:37 pm

stidmama

look and smell do not necessarily indicate contamination, monkey. be safe please (says the woman who has conjunctivitis from no one knows where)

12:37 pm

aslindy

you don't want bacteria in your eyes.

12:37 pm

stidmama

I could nap...

12:37 pm

periwinkle

9 years is a long time for any makeup, I don't like throwing stuff out but I don't want to get sick

12:37 pm

jmcnrick

me either peri!

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

No! I won't! It is a set of colors that suit me, all of it powder. I will get more lipstick though if I ever go somewhere fancy again... and mascara...

12:37 pm

bichon

When I was young [many eons ago] I wore all sorts of eye make up. Now I rub my eyes so much from allergies the thought of ey makeup is repugnant

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, these are fair points, but this IS all powder and very dry.

12:38 pm

stidmama

powder should be okay, monkey. but yes, replace the mascara especially.

12:38 pm

featherbee

(ssshhh, i think i'd feel the same way monkey!)

12:38 pm

aslindy

Many years ago, I began to think... "If women are the fairer sex, why are they the ones who wear makeup?"

12:38 pm

caitlyn

stid go and have a nap and come back later

12:38 pm

jmcnrick

personally monkey I would be careful about things near your eyes and not worry so much for the rest

12:38 pm

periwinkle

bbs mailman here

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

Just some shades of eye shadow and some powder blush. Yes, don't worry, I would certainly replace any liquids or gels at this opint.

12:38 pm

stidmama

how fishy is the eye word?

12:38 pm

stidmama

later peri

12:39 pm

featherbee

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Dunno. Was putting Walter to bed for the night.

12:39 pm

caitlyn

Time for me to go and cook, see you all tomorrow, bye

12:39 pm

jmcnrick

I hate to hear it is fishy since I haven't found it

12:39 pm

12:39 pm

stidmama

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Same here, jmc...

12:40 pm

jmcnrick

lots of happy people

12:40 pm

jmcnrick

bye caitlyn

12:40 pm

no, there wasn't a lot, though it seemed the last prayer (really old man) was quite nice.

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Just as well then.

12:41 pm

*attention is "got"* gold sparkly thingy??? where? where?

12:41 pm

MonkeyGames

I missed the speech-- cooking (very happy with my Xmas present, a Szechuan cookbook...). It'll be on YouTube by now I'm sure.

12:41 pm

stidmama

oh drat. there's the kettle

12:41 pm

phaeton

Good stid...our prayers are with her

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

Gold sparkly thing with a fuzzy sweater thingy???

12:41 pm

phaeton

On Mrs. Obama

12:41 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, thank you. Tell her my thoughts are with her.

12:42 pm

phaeton

I'm not into fashion talk

12:42 pm

featherbee

anyone know who said the closing prayer so i can look it up?

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

red purse too

12:43 pm

MonkeyGames

Was it that guy with the Col. Sanders facial hair? 'Cause I caught part of that and wondered who he is. Seemed quite dignified and that.

12:43 pm

stidmama

Rev. Joseph Lowery gave the last prayer

12:43 pm

phaeton

sorry, missed that when i dried my hari

12:43 pm

phaeton

*hair

12:43 pm

MonkeyGames

Ah, thanks.

12:43 pm

bichon

Rev. Lowery, an old civil rights leader. His speech ended with a funny twist

12:44 pm

jmcnrick

it was a good prayer

12:44 pm

phaeton

lunch! bbl

12:44 pm

featherbee

thank you. doubt it's available yet, but will see.

12:44 pm

stidmama

later phaeton!

12:44 pm

jmcnrick

much better than the opening prayer

12:44 pm

jmcnrick

bye phaeton

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

Bye Phae!

12:45 pm

bichon

I was more pleased with the opening prayer than I thought I would be. Considering the bad press the guy had received. That's pretty generous from me, an agnostic

12:45 pm

stidmama

I thought the opening prayer was offensive, actually. Not what it could have been given the speaker, but still very obviously a slap in the face to people of other beliefs.

12:46 pm

featherbee

i wasn't able to pay enough attention to the opening one.

12:46 pm

jmcnrick

the honeymoon is over

12:46 pm

bichon

Personally, I find any public prayer offensive. But the reality is what it is.

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Wish I'd caught it so I'd know how I feel about it...

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

12:47 pm

Erda

I was out of there as soon as he said "God..."

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

Ah, well, I do side with you on that Erda.

12:48 pm

Erda

Thanks, Monkey, nice to be in THAT minority!

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

Still, maybe too sharp a break from fundamentalism could shock people...? Need to ease into it? Being slightly facetious, of course...

12:49 pm

stidmama

personal expressions of belief don't offend me - sponsored expressions of belief in public spaces do... it's hard to explain.

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

No, I totally get that, Stid. I am a live and let live kind of person. Too many don't, is all...

12:50 pm

jmcnrick

The inaugural is a mixture since it is paid for primarily with private funds

12:50 pm

12:50 pm

stidmama

*wicked grin*

12:50 pm

MonkeyGames

I feel anyone has a right to express any personal belief as long as they're not trying to promote it at people.

12:50 pm

fundamentalism will eventually sink from its own lack of substance, but it will take another few generations

12:50 pm

now, now, stid

12:51 pm

NO SWEETS????

*hands on hips* that is the height of heresy. blatantly blasphemous.

I mean, big scary grey area... sure, I don't mind some posters inviting people to participate, etc. Although the League Against Cursing posters here have me livid right now...

12:51 pm

12:51 pm

LOL monkey! sounds like the power of wishful thinking... imagine. If humans had the power to speak and thereby cause things... *shrug* if that were true, then the world would either be MUCH worse -- or much better.

12:54 pm

There was this orchestra. They set out to perform Beethoven's 9th Symphony. As many of you will know, there is a long section in which basses are not called for, so the bass players decided to abscond to the basement and have a few drinks. They attached, by means of a long string, a small bell to the sheet music so that when the appropriate sheet was turned over they would know to go back up. But they had a few too many drinks. So of course as the symphony approached the finale it was a very tense moment: it was the bottom of the ninth, the basses were loaded, and the score was tied.

1:29 pm

Walter has in my opinion been handling this very well. He was warned that she was very ill and could die. He saw the body so he could understand more about it. But he is holding a lot in, and I have to guess what he's feeling.... but then he suddenly talks about it. He's doing OK, just working it through.

i can see daniel doing the same thing

Sky News Latest - The ailing politician was evacuated by medical staff, a congressional aide said.

Mr Obama, who just hours before had been sworn in as the new American President, said his prayers were with Kennedy and his family.

Mr Kennedy, 76, is battling a life-threatening brain tumor.

The Massachusetts senator is the brother of the late President John F Kennedy and one of the Senate's most respected Democrats.

Senator Robert C Byrd has also been taken from the lunch after falling ill.

2:50 pm

Krista

2:50 pm

Atalante

I'm getting used to it, I use TwitterFox

2:55 pm

Pinikula

I just have to throw my $0.02 in for a brief moment (I don't normally do this), but wasn't BO's speech well written and delivered?

2:55 pm

featherbee

yes pini, it was excellent

2:55 pm

Pinikula

(we've been watching live feeds here at work since we don't have a TV)

2:56 pm

featherbee

watching the parade now, waiting to see if he'll get out and walk some

2:56 pm

Pinikula

(er, no TV in the office, that is)

2:56 pm

Krista

I've enjoyed it all, Pini..though this parade is a little dry

2:56 pm

Pinikula

At the quick pace that vehicle is going, he'd make better progress if he were walking himself!

2:57 pm

Pinikula

They've been saying this portion of the day is already an hour behind schedule.

2:57 pm

Trifioso

Hey all - we have a new president!!! - newsflash....

You're quick, Trif!! What took you so long??? ;)

2:58 pm

2:59 pm

Pinikula

OK...I just had to throw in a "moment"...done now! ;)

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

Pinikula

* diving back into grid *

3:00 pm

featherbee

funny listening to the newscasters trying to guess where/if he'll get out

3:00 pm

featherbee

every potential landmark, they're saying "maybe here" etc etc

3:00 pm

Have I just missed Liz?

3:05 pm

Krista

they ARE reminding me of the Kennedys right now...so young and stylin'

3:05 pm

Haz1558

Oh well. Another day.

3:05 pm

Krista

hi Haz

3:05 pm

Haz1558

Is this where I share my Obama story?

3:05 pm

Atalante

you have :(

3:05 pm

Atalante

oh yes! good timing!

3:05 pm

Krista

Ata may have a few passes left ;)

3:06 pm

Haz1558

What a shame to miss Liz. Oh well, another day.

3:10 pm

Atalante

how's the glittery one?

3:10 pm

Haz1558

Here's my claim to Obama fame - taken from some notes I wrote in August 2006. ' Our last days in Kenya were spent relaxing in the hotel, although we managed to tumble upon the visit of a US senator, Barak Obama, who was staying in our hotel. We had taken the decision to explore a little of Nairobi, figuring that if we took no money with us stayed within walking distance of the hotel, on main thoroughfares, nothing too serious could befall us. We noticed a large crowd gathered around the railings of a park so naturally we decided to try to find out what was gong on. There were soldiers on horseback, crowds of dignitaries waiting around, lots of press photographers and a young tree sitting with a shiny spade at its base. A tree was obviously going to be planted by someone important and a passing Australian lady supplied the information that Barak Obama, whose father had emigrated from Kenya, was on a visit to the country. Fleets of cars arrived and from one stepped several ladies and little girls who had breakfasted at a table near us in the hotel. We had wondered who they were and now it all made sense! We watched the proceedings then finished our interrupted walk.

Later that day, as we relaxed around the pool, the Senator and his considerable entourage, including the obligatory bodyguards, met with local business men and politicians. This was important people watching and an unexpected bonus! The poolside restaurant proved to be a favourite meeting place for Nairobi business people and the hotelâ€™s gym seemed to be popular with executives who arrived in suit and tie, their gym bag replacing the briefcase for a lunchtime appointment with exercise.'

3:10 pm

Haz1558

Spangle is rearranging her paws. Serious business.

3:11 pm

Atalante

oh haz, what a memory!

3:11 pm

Atalante

and yes, very serious business

3:11 pm

Haz1558

I know. If we'd only taken a camera....

3:12 pm

Krista

How cool!

3:13 pm

Haz1558

It was just interesting after that to keep hearing his name mentioned; we'd never heard of him before.

3:13 pm

Haz1558

And the rest is history.

3:13 pm

Atalante

amazing how that happens, isn't it?

3:14 pm

lynxxx

" I knew him when..." . Hi Haz & Ata & Krista

3:14 pm

Krista

I rememb er the first time I heard of him...my very conservative boss was talking about this dynamic young democrat senator that she really admired..knew he had to be something special

3:14 pm

Krista

hey lynxxx

3:14 pm

Haz1558

I know. Husband claims to have met Bill Clinton as well. It's a bit tenuous - his plane was held up at Belfast airport to let Airforce One land, he watched him coming down the steps.

3:14 pm

Haz1558

Hello lynxxx.

3:15 pm

Atalante

LOL well that's nearer than most people ever get!

3:16 pm

Krista

that counts..I think...:)

3:16 pm

lynxxx

gah - I just found the Lickety word w. 8 to go

3:16 pm

Haz1558

It's always slightly disappointing to see famous people. You expect them to have a silver glow about them and they don't.

3:17 pm

Atalante

and then just occasionally they do

3:17 pm

featherbee

Reuters reporting Senator Kennedy is concious, talking, and being assesed at the hospital right now,

3:17 pm

Krista

they need to eat more chocolate wrappers ;)

3:17 pm

Haz1558

John Barrowman?

3:18 pm

featherbee

that was copied from elsewhere, pardon the misspelling

3:18 pm

Atalante

LOL well of course!!!

3:18 pm

Atalante

well ....

3:18 pm

Krista

oh good, Feather...byrd's office said he was ok...but didnt say if it was true that he was ill earlier

3:19 pm

3:19 pm

Krista

Um, are we all finished our studying, Stid???

3:19 pm

kje

3:20 pm

featherbee

i'm testing daniel's patience today. not sure how much longer of obama coverage he's going to stand for!

3:21 pm

stidmama

hm. yes, referring to the historicity of the moment doesn't always work at that age!

3:21 pm

kje

send him to his room with a book... he'll forget all about yu : )

3:21 pm

stidmama

LOL the announcer for this section of the parade started a chant for the crowd!

3:22 pm

featherbee

i wish i had some of that anti-gas stuff for babies right now

3:22 pm

Krista

lol, i know, Feather...Eric told me to call him RIGHT WHEN he was becoming president...didnt want to waste time on the unnecessary stuff

3:22 pm

stidmama

*hands feather clothespin for nose* the other stuff doesn't work so well

3:22 pm

Trifioso

krista, I had the opposite - secondo's school called RIGHT at that moment, and I missed the actual swearing in! Thank goodness for you tube!

3:22 pm

stidmama

hello tri!

3:23 pm

Trifioso

hello stid, and a very pleasant day to you! :)

3:23 pm

featherbee

no, he's fussy right now, and i'm suspecting gas pains, based on how i'm feeling with the same virus

3:23 pm

Krista

sheesh, that was rude of them, Tri

3:23 pm

Trifioso

shock of the world - it's snowing again here!

3:23 pm

stidmama

oh, poor baby... warm pack on the tummy?

3:23 pm

EvaNadine

Happy Inauguration Day to the Americans!

3:23 pm

Trifioso

no, krista, bless them - they didn't know....

3:23 pm

3:23 pm

stidmama

3:23 pm

stidmama

hey EvaN!

3:23 pm

Krista

simethicone...i am so terrified of getting what the kids just had...can take anything but the barf virus

3:23 pm

Trifioso

thank you evanadine!

3:24 pm

Trifioso

at this point stid, we are referring to eight inches of snow as a "dusting"

3:24 pm

stidmama

oh, I see... *shiver* maybe the fog yesterday wasn't so bad. we actually are seeing some sunlight today.

3:25 pm

Krista

i'm jealous of the snow..at least we finallly got our dusting

3:25 pm

stidmama

well down to 56 and seriously considering the list

3:25 pm

Krista

( a true dusting...can't even sled on our hill..would just make mud)

3:26 pm

Trifioso

krista, is that a photo of an actual crab, or is it a doctored photo?

3:26 pm

Krista

hi Eva..did u see anything firsthand today?

3:26 pm

Krista

both...i took this pic of a crab that i had caught coming after me...colored him a little in photoshop

3:26 pm

stidmama

yes, list.

3:27 pm

Trifioso

it is really cool! well done you....

3:28 pm

Krista

aw, why thank you...blue crabs are ptetty on their own, but I change Crabby's colors once in a while

3:28 pm

Trifioso

there is no way there are 3 words of that middle column A

3:28 pm

stidmama

ah, there they are, in front of their new apartment... LOL

3:28 pm

Krista

i cant find one of those words!

3:28 pm

bichon

Trif, which one do you need?

3:29 pm

stidmama

ap 6/21 is one of them, the others are AZ 5 and plural

3:29 pm

Trifioso

hello bichon! I have the 6, 21 and that is IT

3:30 pm

Trifioso

oh, bless you bichon. NBT!

3:30 pm

o-o

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

3:30 pm

stidmama

sleep? sleep??? never at the right time, I am sure!

3:30 pm

stidmama

YAY tri!

3:34 pm

how novel, snow in winter

3:34 pm

bichon

I wonder if it's snowing in CT. I'll call hubby later.

3:35 pm

Trifioso

where are you now, bichon?

3:35 pm

stidmama

okay, I am REALLY ANNOYED that Michelle Obama's decision to be a mother first is being denigrated they are saying, " but I am sure that she will eventually do something wonderful." WHAT A CROCK!!!!

3:35 pm

stidmama

*back to puzzling over the fy*

3:35 pm

Trifioso

wow, stid, missed that one. Gross!

3:35 pm

stidmama

Women will not be free from the bonds of tyranny until ALL career decisions are considered valid.

3:35 pm

stidmama

*stepping off soapbox*

3:36 pm

had to be men who said such twaddle

3:36 pm

Trifioso

thanks for hopping up there stid! rock on sister!

3:36 pm

bichon

fy + internet cha***r

3:37 pm

Trifioso

bichon, with regards to your profile - is lyme disease a problem in your area, and do you have to take extra precautions as you walk?

3:37 pm

stidmama

no, that is the saddest thing, it was a woman -- one who apparently chose "career over family" which is also valid, but she shouldn't be allowed to consider a woman who chooses family before career as somehow unfulfilled.

3:37 pm

stidmama

oh! thanks so much bichon

3:38 pm

bichon

Trif, not any more than anywhere else. We've never gotten it, but one of our dogs did [even with tick prevention].

3:38 pm

Trifioso

that is good to know, bichon!

3:39 pm

stidmama

down to 29. feather, are you still searching?

3:39 pm

bichon

Everyone in tick areas should take the usual precautions; inspection, deet

3:39 pm

Trifioso

look at the boots mrs. biden is walking in! I couldn't walk across a ROOM in those, let alone a parade!

3:39 pm

EvaNadine

hints for the A in the center column?

3:40 pm

stidmama

there are only rare ticks where we live, also no poisonous snakes, rare poisonous spiders... my kids are so spoiled. I always worried about them when we visited eastern washington

3:40 pm

Trifioso

eva - do you have any of them?

3:40 pm

bichon

3:41 pm

stid, I was bitten by a spider last summer, and ended up in the hosp x 2 days....whilst there they ran a blood panel on me, and found that I did have Lyme...

3:41 pm

KatieMcG

evening everyone :-)

3:41 pm

stidmama

hello katie!

3:41 pm

oh my trifioso! how frightening!

hello katie!

3:41 pm

hello all, taking a break from watching tv

3:41 pm

pi 6 --- add diet light

3:41 pm

KatieMcG

Totally agree with your rant earlier stid & I don't have a family!

3:41 pm

bichon

Did you have any Lyme symptoms

3:42 pm

o-o

should be pe 6

3:42 pm

KatieMcG

1/2 lb Ata, not such a good week ;-(

3:42 pm

Trifioso

the funny thing is, spiders never, ever bothered me, and now I will run on water to avoid them. and no, bichon, but then again, I wasn't looking for any. perhaps maybe I had the "flu" once, or was just extra tired, and never attributed it to the right place

3:42 pm

stidmama

thanks katie, I am getting better at articulating my rants (I hope) I used to get so worked up I couldn't say anyting!

3:43 pm

Atalante

1/2 lb *down* or 1/2 lb up??!

3:43 pm

KatieMcG

Oh down, it wasn't THAT bad a week. I have now got my head round the work thing and have been back on it after two very bad days so next week should be better. Are you still getting on OK with it?

3:44 pm

stidmama

I was bit on the leg by a spider once when I sat down in my garden. Didn't know it until the next day when my whole body was stinging and the leg was numb. I was lucky. didn't go to the doc and recovered anyway. I HATE hospitals. Couldn't get out of them fast enough after the children were born. (but that's a rant for another day)

3:44 pm

o-o

I don't view what you said as rant; more outrage over the arrogance and ignorance of what people say

3:44 pm

Atalante

well anything on the down side is good!!!!

3:44 pm

stidmama

thanks BR. ((hugs))

3:44 pm

Atalante

*hugs* I'm getting on - fairly too easily with it. I keep wondering what I'm missing

3:44 pm

Trifioso

i can't agree more, stid. Spiders are dread

3:45 pm

stidmama

thanks also for teh pe 6, am a little slow today

3:45 pm

KatieMcG

If we had to pay what you do for hospitals I'd hate them too

3:45 pm

stidmama

Ps done

3:45 pm

KatieMcG

No magic formula with it Ata, just good old fashioned eating healthy. When I stick to it I have always done really well with it.

3:46 pm

stidmama

I suppose health eating would NOT be the macaroons I nibbled earlier? *resolves to consume salad with supper*

3:46 pm

Atalante

it just doesn't feel like hard work. Losing weight should be hard work!!

3:47 pm

KatieMcG

That's why they call it a plan for life because it's about changing bad habbits.

3:47 pm

periwinkle

fe6/27 pls

3:47 pm

o-o

well, Ata, you can always don a hair shirt

3:48 pm

Atalante

the only thing that concerns me is this losing points when you lose weight. I'm fine at the moment, I'd be fine with a few less points, but if I lose lots of weight I'll have no points left!! lol

3:48 pm

stidmama

now the S are gone

3:48 pm

KatieMcG

I eat more on Weight Watchers than I ever do outside it but fruit and veg feature strongly and I have cut out bread. Chocolate becomes a rare treat instead of a basic food group and McDonalds profit goes down.

help - how do you play? I'm suggesting words which are there but it says they're not!

3:49 pm

KatieMcG

I think your appetite goes down as you lose weight and get used to it. Also I have got to the exercise section and as you lose weight you will become more active and earn more points.

3:49 pm

Becky26

I think you might like to know that my father, who was stationed in England before the D-day invasion, always spoke with gratitude about the way the English welcomed the Americans

6:11 pm

hurshy

i wonder what percent of married people LIKE being married, and how it correlates to length of time married.

6:11 pm

Trifioso

it is a beautiful poem - you must be so proud of it!

6:12 pm

flosey

Hurshy, I like being married - have been married 47 years

6:12 pm

JBV

hurshy, the longer i'm married, the less I can imagine what my life would be like without my husband - is that an answer?

6:13 pm

jillibus

trif -- it's only part of a lot of verses about how much he missed us.

6:13 pm

flosey

yes jilli, you father wrote some beautiful poetry

6:13 pm

JBV

we've been together 31 years

6:13 pm

Any SZ words?

6:18 pm

I heard a brilliant woman speaker once who said "I was married to a socialist, and married to a buddhist, and neither one took out the garbage." oh, that made me lafffff

6:18 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye flosey! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!

6:18 pm

hurshy

once, i was flipping a mattress and it fell on me, and i was stuck under it. but i managed to get out.

6:18 pm

JBV

but a life companion is always better in a crisis, hurshy, take it from me - we've been through many on both sides and one can be strong while the other is falling apart

6:18 pm

jmcnrick

my vibrator doesn't cuddle

6:18 pm

Trifioso

Hurshy, my dog DOES do that, and too often, which is why I want a man around to do it first!

6:18 pm

my family doesn't have crises.

6:18 pm

A te 8/50 is a te4/4 plus pa 4/6 word forwardbyfaith

6:19 pm

JBV

so then that's what you need, hurshy , a family crisis - takes the attention off the two of you and shifts your priorities

6:19 pm

Trifioso

not to mention what we call "paying the penis tax" - getting the car across a rainy parking lot? paying the tax. Picking up dead stuff? paying the tax. Cleaning gutters? paying the tax....

6:20 pm

hurshy

yeah, um, in my marriage, we don't have that trif.

6:20 pm

jillibus

*brag* te8 was my first word! Mine, who never sees the biggies at first!

6:20 pm

hurshy

do you think it is possible for non-crisis-lives to run in families?

6:20 pm

jmcnrick

wtg jill

6:21 pm

hurshy

i mean, my ancestors, they just get born, get married, have kids, get old, and die. i don't know back a lot of generations but all the ones i do know, it is like that.

6:21 pm

jmcnrick

probably helps to have it run in families

6:21 pm

forwardbyfaith

want to share a clue?

6:21 pm

my grandmother had breast cancer, but she got cured like 15 years ago... my grandfather had quadruple bypass surgery and went back to work...

6:22 pm

Trifioso

what? :)

6:23 pm

hurshy

legal problems, bankruptcies, fires, burglaries, none that i know of

6:23 pm

Trifioso

if my sister comes on tonight, ask her about the biz man she used to see every morning on the train....

6:23 pm

jillibus

faith -- you didn't see
or get my clue just before min's?

6:23 pm

hurshy

i do have one aunt who ran away to be married when she was young, but she's still married to him and has two kids

6:24 pm

hurshy

we have no drag queens or other odd people either.

6:24 pm

who is your sister (I know I should know)

6:24 pm

Trifioso

car.eeyore

6:24 pm

hurshy

i don't think any of my relatives have ever even TRIED drugs... most don't drink at all and those who do, in moderation.

6:24 pm

jmcnrick

hursh you have crises and don't know it: cancer, heart problems, having babies

6:25 pm

Trifioso

okay, hurshy - give it up = what is the secret?

6:25 pm

hurshy

nobody's rich, nobody's broke...

6:25 pm

JBV

maybe your family is just good at keeping it all to themselves?

6:25 pm

jillibus

oh, really, trif? Didn't know.

6:25 pm

nelleon

jillibus, I just checked acct page - couldn't find flag info!

6:25 pm

Trifioso

yup. kadresa is too, and aknitter is my cousin

6:25 pm

jmcnrick

I need to take notes on families!

6:26 pm

hurshy

i don't know what the secret is. i think we're just all risk-averse.

6:26 pm

jillibus

nelleon, on your account page there's a little square, upper right, saying Show Profile. Just check it :)

6:26 pm

hurshy

but, i may have an undiagnosed heart condition, so maybe i will drop dead at a young age and be the first real family tragedy in ages

6:27 pm

Trifioso

anyway, the short story is that every morning she saw the same very, very distinguished looking man on the train, always impeccably dressed in sharp suits. he always stood on the train, and held the overhead strap. As he reached up, lovely and lace-trimmed panties would peek out of his trousers, just the teeniest bit. they were nice too - expensive silks, shiny satins....

6:27 pm

nelleon

ta da!

6:27 pm

nelleon

thanks jilli

6:27 pm

jmcnrick

good job nelleon!

6:27 pm

6:27 pm

welcome to the us, nelleon

6:28 pm

nelleon

ty -

6:28 pm

JBV

oops - that man's wife may have been in hurshy's family and not known about her husband's identity crisis

6:28 pm

jmcnrick

no doubt jbv! lol

6:28 pm

Trifioso

of course, car always sat to read on the train, so her eyes were right at his waist level...

6:28 pm

hurshy

we don't live in cities, so none of us ever have taken trains to work.

6:29 pm

JBV

and hurshy, if you have concerns about your heart, just get yourself to a doctor, and stop fantasizing about a tragic death, please

6:29 pm

Trifioso

and she would find herself remembering them - oh! the blue and white ones today...oh, we are back to the pink....

6:29 pm

hurshy

it's just occasional chest pain and palpitations. probably nothing.

6:29 pm

Trifioso

i think your life sounds blessed hurshy. you are very lucky. do get that check up,though.

6:29 pm

JBV

does the phrase "famous last words" mean anything to you?

6:30 pm

jmcnrick

get the checkup to keep the crises away!

6:30 pm

hurshy

but a heart attack is the best way to go! i need some doughnuts, is what i need.

6:31 pm

jmcnrick

not so good for your family

6:31 pm

jillibus

find out if it's nothing, hursh. Be a good girl.

6:31 pm

JBV

having a heart attack and dying is one thing, being left an invalid is something else entirely

6:31 pm

hurshy

my cats WOULD miss me...

6:31 pm

hurshy

this is true. i must make sure to have it when nobody is around to call 911.

6:32 pm

jillibus

stop that, hursh.

6:32 pm

phaeton

hurshy, what makes you think you have an undiagnosed heart prob?

6:32 pm

jmcnrick

hursh is missing his family having a crisis and wants to create one

6:32 pm

hurshy

the occasional pain and palpitations.

6:32 pm

cybernan

hello everyone :) -- just diving in

6:32 pm

Trifioso

are you prone to anxiety attacks? they feel like that

6:33 pm

jillibus

Hi nan

6:33 pm

hurshy

but, the odds of a 31 year old woman whose only family history of heart problems is an 80-year-old grandpa having a heart condition are very very low.

6:33 pm

jmcnrick

hi cyber

6:33 pm

jillibus

Just FIND OUT, hursh!

6:33 pm

hurshy

no, trif, i used to have generalized anxiety but it is better now and anyway it's not correlated to anything, it just... happens.

6:33 pm

jmcnrick

hursh somebody has to be that 2%

6:33 pm

phaeton

sharp pain?

6:34 pm

Trifioso

hurshy, no one knew what the plague was when only one guy had it. go get checked already! for heaven's sake, make the most of that national health!

6:34 pm

hurshy

no, not sharp pain

6:34 pm

Trifioso

oh, wait, I forgot, you are here

6:34 pm

hurshy

once again, the flag is tricky

6:35 pm

phaeton

my heart skips beats then races to catch up...wierd feeling but no pain...how long do the palpitations last?

6:35 pm

hurshy

the palpitations, not too long, the pain, several minutes at least

6:36 pm

hurshy

but it's very mild.

6:36 pm

phaeton

yea, probably nothing serious, but should have it checked

6:36 pm

jillibus

I wish kje were here, or scrabbler

6:37 pm

phaeton

probably some misfiring of the neurons, but will eventually get worse

6:37 pm

jillibus

Unless phae is an MD

6:37 pm

phaeton

no, but my sol is!

6:38 pm

hurshy

but, if you get it checked when it isn't doing it, can they even tell anyway? i mean is it like with cars and mechanics?

6:38 pm

Trifioso

they just showed the cutest thing on tv! apparently sasha and melia obama got to go to this disney channel concert last night where the jonas bros were singing, and the girls were adorable, bopping and rocking out with their mom. how fun!

6:38 pm

Dorens

yes hursh. i had scary palpitations when i was pregnant and they did and ekg and told me not to worry

6:39 pm

jmcnrick

they can tell stuff even if it is not happening

6:39 pm

phaeton

depends on how often it is happening...they have monitors you can wear that are connected to the dr's or hospital

6:39 pm

hurshy

like minority report

6:39 pm

Dorens

i really ought to stop babbling in the dark.. make more errors in the chatlog

If you think we British are apathetic about who's in power, we're not really. Like my ex-hub and politics and history at Uni kids said, 'The USA has always told its citizens that they ARE a vital part of the political pricess and theefore have a voice and the right to do whatever. However, here in Britain, no more so than under the Blair New Labour government (not even a proper Labourite then! And I say thast as a staunch Tory). UK government has mostly given us the message, 'Vote us in and then DO AS WE SAY!'

I miss JOhn Lennon

11:57 pm

Kizah

I always find it humorous that John Lennon wrote so much about peace and harmony and yet was known for his violent temper and unreasonable requests.

11:57 pm

Kizah

I've heard people talk about him as a kind soul. Now that's ironic!

11:57 pm

rururocks

well.. he was also a narcissist...

11:58 pm

Jacula

I remember when this song came on the radio and I was worrying about the war in Vietnam, al my Mum could say was, 'Yes, Give peace a chance. Stop repeating yourself!'

11:58 pm

rururocks

I am sure I misspelled that

11:58 pm

Kizah

People tend to attribute traits to people as they find comfortable. Truth is less delusional, but doesn't feel as good.

11:59 pm

rururocks

wow kizah.. that is deep

Jacula

John was so angry about all the wars.
