12:21 am

westford

12:22 am

melonheadjujube

Have courage, J1M, not operable doesn't mean hopeless. I'll second VMD on getting a second opinion.

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

just, in 1995, one of our friends (an m.d.) was on his roof cleaning out the gutters with an electric leaf blower; long story short, he fell off the roof and shattered both of his heels and ankles... they said he would never walk again... he is walking, and he actually still practices medicine again at a local clinic as an interim doc... don't give up hope because they truly don't know how each individual's body will heal

12:38 am

herinfernallady

Vargas was famous for his pi5.16s

1:25 am

westford

hi lyn and ty for that

1:25 am

jillibus

Just was pushed into the pool by some jerk and hurt her behind and crushed her heel -- had to go home to Montreal. Her sister said she had ruined their vacation and that's the end.

1:25 am

rururocks

thank you lynxxx...

1:25 am

herinfernallady

ta

1:25 am

rururocks

did they know the jerk?

1:25 am

rururocks

hi herin

1:26 am

westford

a resort worker

1:26 am

jillibus

and ty lynxxx too for the Vargas clue (I remember!)

1:26 am

rururocks

oh wow.. how stupid of them

1:26 am

rururocks

she should sue the resort

1:26 am

lynxxx

good grief, how bad is her heel Jilli (and what is wrong with her sister!)

1:27 am

herinfernallady

Ru as Jill said but the poor love got one of her crutches caught on something then fell and broke her tail bone. Her hell is shattered

1:27 am

lynxxx

Absolutely sue, they should have public liability insurance at least

1:27 am

jillibus

well, she can't put any weight on that foot and won't be able to for some time -- has to slide down stairs (and up again)

1:29 am

westford

she said it happened on the first day of their vacation

1:29 am

jillibus

ruru, as she said, we are not a litigious society

1:29 am

lynxxx

awful, and sometimes heel injuries never get back to normal

1:29 am

rururocks

what did the resort do about it?

1:29 am

herinfernallady

ALso its at a resort in MExico so no its not going to do diddly in a country were they can buy the law

1:30 am

westford

I didn't even see her go I feel badly about that

1:30 am

jillibus

herin, I missed that bit about the crutch getting caught -- thanks for the info

1:30 am

rururocks

and what the hell is wrong with her sister?

1:30 am

jillibus

that's the big question, ru

1:30 am

1:32 am

rururocks

I hope they comped her her room stay and vacation

1:33 am

Christine

ll, if the sister cares so little for Just, why didn't she carry on with HER holiday?

1:33 am

jillibus

good question!

1:33 am

rururocks

If she lost her sister over something as unavoidable as that.. then they didn't have a great relationship to begin with

1:33 am

rururocks

or she is just really immature and stupid

1:34 am

westford

don't think so ruru and she said she signed off on the compensation for her foot before she knew the extent of the damages

2:54 am

Andree

how is your weather, ours is perfect, but melbourne has really copped some heat

2:54 am

sprite

are you out of your mind? Of course you don't suck. This is not an easy game and if you have managed to find a couple of words, it is a great start.

2:54 am

mrpresident

I keep being to told no FU

2:54 am

mrpresident

what does she mean???

2:54 am

Andree

keep at it tara, you will get better

2:54 am

mrpresident

2:55 am

sandyloo

cant believe Adelaide had 45.7 can you imagine how hot that is! We have had horrible hot weather every day since just before xmas but today is only 26-lovely

2:55 am

sandyloo

I HATE the hot weather and wish for snow LOL

2:55 am

sprite

awfully hot! And humid, I believe? I don't think I could handle that.

2:56 am

Andree

other than that stinker last saturday we have had a lovely week

2:56 am

sandyloo

Just been to Broome -very humid and hot and no respite at night

2:56 am

sprite

I have had real problems with 2 grids last week. One so bad I opened Lickety to get me through :)

2:56 am

Andree

thats right, how was the trip

2:57 am

sandyloo

Tara take heart , Im the worst player here but still love it

2:57 am

Andree

as i do almost every day sprite!!!!

2:57 am

licketySplitAUS

hi everyone

2:57 am

Jellen

I still lean on Lickety to get me through the grids...

2:58 am

Andree

but i know what you mean, a couple of really unpleasant ones

2:58 am

sandyloo

Im trying without lickety at the moment

2:58 am

Jellen

Lickety! My hero!

2:58 am

Andree

hi lickety

2:58 am

sandyloo

Broome is always nice , my daughter has good air conditioning

2:58 am

sprite

*takes sandy by the shoulders and shakes her*
There are no worst players, hun. This is a FUN game, not something to make anyone feel rotten.

2:59 am

sandyloo

Sprite-Im always happy !! Thats why i love this

2:59 am

Andree

and it is one of those games you can do at your own pace, and if you don't finish toobad

2:59 am

sprite

and I am always happy to see you

3:00 am

sandyloo

this is much more than a game-its a great site

3:00 am

sprite

exactly Andree, no penalties for not finishing or whatever. Nobody to compete with but yourself.

3:00 am

Andree

thats true sandy

3:00 am

sprite

usually is, sandy! Lots of good people.

3:01 am

mrpresident

hello all :)) (mrp here)

3:01 am

sandyloo

hi pres

3:01 am

Jellen

No timers except the 24-hour one...

3:01 am

sprite

hi mrP

3:01 am

Jellen

Hi, mrp!

3:01 am

Andree

hi mrp

3:01 am

licketySplitAUS

too true it's a group of friends

3:01 am

Andree

kids back at school?

3:01 am

mrpresident

having a good laugh with tara. she can't see words for crap!!

3:01 am

sprite

that is one of the things I love best, Jellen. I hate time pressure. It is so nice to be able to walk away, do other things, and come back later if I have time.

3:02 am

mrpresident

am going to disappear for a while, help tara out, and see you all shortly.
Lickety comes say bye to Tara!

3:02 am

Andree

i can't either, must be the verrry long late lunch i went to today

3:02 am

sprite

it takes some training to start spotting words for some, mrP.

3:02 am

sandyloo

Sprite, its lucky for me im so slow - I always have something to come back to

3:03 am

sprite

yes that is nice, sandy!

3:03 am

Jellen

Then I get to clue after I'm done!

3:03 am

sprite

oh and that is fun too! Thinking up a good clue is not always easy, but so much fun if it works.

3:04 am

Jellen

I love to help people over the finish line...

3:05 am

sandyloo

I love the clueing as well-another brain exercise

3:05 am

sprite

hm, some of them, lol

3:05 am

Andree

you have often helped me over jellen

3:05 am

Jellen

lol, sprite

3:06 am

sprite

some time ago I realised I got irritated with clueing. Now I am more selective and I am enjoying it again.

3:06 am

Jellen

Of course, sometimes it feels like I'm carrying them there!

3:06 am

sprite

grin, what really can p*** me off is when I give a clue and within 10 secs they go "I don't get it, another clue please"

3:07 am

Jellen

They don't give your clue time to sink in...

3:07 am

sandyloo

I think Im like a lurking leech waiting for others to ask for clues

3:07 am

sprite

it is not the not getting, because we all don't get things sometimes. It is the not thinking that gets to me.

3:07 am

Jellen

Or they don't make the effort to Google it...

3:08 am

Andree

me too sprite

3:08 am

sandyloo

i love the clever cryptic clues

3:08 am

sprite

yep, so that is where I decided not to do it anymore. I don't want to handfeed them words. But I love to give clues to people who like to puzzle and use their brain. No matter how often we need to reclue then.

3:08 am

Andree

if i don't get a clue i wait ages to ask again because it somehow eventually comes to me

3:09 am

sprite

me too, sandy! Haz is really good at those. And BabbleRabble.

3:09 am

Andree

and morewords is my best freind

3:09 am

Jellen

Have you read Haz's profile lately?

3:10 am

sandyloo

No tell us about it.

3:10 am

Andree

i haven't seen haz in weeks

3:10 am

sprite

no I haven't

3:10 am

Jellen

Hmmm...perhaps I should just suggest you take a look at it...Don't want to misrepresent her...

3:11 am

sprite

am not even sure it is available, actually

3:12 am

Jellen

It makes me curious to know the circumstances behind her post...I haven't seen her either...that's part of the point...

3:12 am

diem

Hi all

3:12 am

sandyloo

I just checked it wouldnt come up

3:13 am

sandyloo

hi diem

3:13 am

sprite

I know she has been mad at me for telling about myself too often to her taste. And even madder that I resented that. So that might have been it, though I don't know what is in her profile.

3:13 am

sprite

hi diem

3:13 am

mari

Hi Diem - and everyone

3:14 am

Andree

hi diem, hi mari

3:14 am

sandyloo

hi mari

3:15 am

sandyloo

Mari, I have heard that Cuba is a wonderful holiday destination

3:15 am

sprite

hi mari

3:15 am

mrpresident

Haz is brilliant at cryptic clues!

3:16 am

mrpresident

hi again, back... watching tennis and getting cool :))

3:16 am

Jellen

Hi, mari and diem

3:16 am

sprite

that is what I said

3:16 am

sprite

very hot day, we heard, mrP

3:16 am

sandyloo

Pres, I feel sorry for the tennis players but they have airconditioning now i believe

3:16 am

Andree

hi again mrp, update on tennis, i am still sitting outside

3:17 am

Jellen

Sorry, I was trying to find Haz's profile through rankings...

3:17 am

mrpresident

they do sandy... too many players dropping like flies
Roger Federer is playing Andy Roddick

3:17 am

mari

Sandy - the beaches are wonderful - and the people amazing and hotels good but possibly more basic than here

3:17 am

sandyloo

it wouldnt come up for me jell

3:17 am

mrpresident

it has been hot sprite!! but not like Melbourne and Adelaide! They were murderously hot

3:17 am

sprite

Jellen, I think she disabled it

3:18 am

mrpresident

They had to close it up and put all the matches on centre court because of the heat

3:18 am

sandyloo

It would certainly be a change from Scotland

3:18 am

sprite

some places had a record hot day, we heard, mrP. Not pleasant at all! Glad it isn't so bad where you are. Still very hot though, I bet.

3:18 am

sandyloo

Adelaide had 45.7 c sprite

3:18 am

Jellen

Ahh...okay...Don't want to speak out of turn, then...just wanted to hear your reaction...

3:18 am

mrpresident

yes indeed! I had to work as well, the poor children where so red in the face! I felt so so sorry for them

3:18 am

mari

Haz plays at a later time - I think she got annoyed at too many clues being given too early in the game

3:18 am

sprite

argh, that might kill me!

3:19 am

mrpresident

They are not allowed in the classrooms at lunchtime (aircon)

3:19 am

Andree

i didn't know you could look at a profile when not on the chog

3:19 am

sandyloo

The kids are not back at school here

3:19 am

mrpresident

yes andree. you can find them through rankings

3:19 am

sandyloo

just go to rankings andree

3:19 am

sprite

I can't react, Jellen, no idea what she wrote. Can only tell what happened, not sure if that is what she wrote about?

3:20 am

mrpresident

sandy, I don't know why the hell they let them go back to school end of January here... it should be end of Feb

3:20 am

Jellen

You can look at profiles of friends or go to rankings...

3:20 am

sprite

as long as the profile is enabled for view, they can be found in the rankings, Andree

3:20 am

mrpresident

I was asking Ata where Haz was, she said taking a break from the morning flip crowd

3:21 am

Andree

i have just been telling everyone what lovely weather we are having compared to the other states its fantastic

3:21 am

sandyloo

I agree that the clues at flip time are silly

3:21 am

mrpresident

actually, she said that about you too sprite

3:21 am

sprite

what did she say about me too, mrP/

3:21 am

mrpresident

we are having paradise at 35 C compared to other states!

3:21 am

Andree

well sprite and jellen, learn something new from babblers every day

3:22 am

mrpresident

she said you were also taking a break from the morning flip crew

3:22 am

sandyloo

26 here today pres, its such a relief

3:22 am

sprite

and if Haz shuns the morning flip crew, it might be something else entirely. I don't come on early after flip anymore either.

3:22 am

sprite

yes that is very true, mrP.

3:22 am

mrpresident

haz is normally on in about 2 hours, but haven't seen her until after 9 hours

3:22 am

Andree

i am sure she would not be saying anything about you sprite, i think she doesn't like the non thinkers and i don't blame her

3:23 am

Patxxx

fada

3:23 am

mrpresident

she would be here by 6am babble time, last time it was 1pm.
And she has said nothing about anyone

3:23 am

sandyloo

pres, I just put dunnies in and it wouldnt take it!! That is such an Aussie word

3:23 am

sprite

I don't blame her either! Am often of the same mind with Haz, apart from some minor things. She is a clever player and a great cluer.

3:24 am

Patxxx

piek

3:24 am

Andree

and she is such a great cluer, it must be so irritating when some don't get them

3:24 am

Patxxx

furn

3:24 am

mrpresident

hi pat! wrong box luv

3:24 am

sprite

nice tries Pat, lol

3:24 am

sandyloo

Pat you need to click under the grid

3:24 am

Jellen

Her comments in her profile just indicated she was annoyed by non-Babble chat...

3:25 am

mrpresident

Haz was one of the first people to welcome me to babble.

3:25 am

o-o

click on "Who's Online" and scroll down

3:25 am

mrpresident

ah, we all have our off days

3:25 am

Andree

haz was one of the most helpful when i first started

3:25 am

sandyloo

Actually I like all the non Babble chat

3:25 am

mrpresident

hi babrab

3:25 am

sprite

I am sometimes annoyed by the babble chat, lol.

3:26 am

sandyloo

I love that people share problems here -its a great non judgemental support group

3:26 am

mrpresident

the non babble chat can be wonderful! Some people use it to air opinions, others to troll, some to have a friend to chat with

3:26 am

Jellen

I just wish I knew if there was something specific that annoyed her, and if it could be rectified...

3:26 am

mrpresident

I love that at 4am, and I can't sleep!! I can come on and chat with friends

3:26 am

Andree

i am smetimes annoyed and sometimes annoying, we all have a day when we need to speak about something

3:26 am

sandyloo

That's what makes it a great site

3:27 am

Jellen

I know you all have helped me through some tough times...

3:27 am

mrpresident

oh man, I was annoying the other day!! LOL Andree saw that!

3:27 am

sprite

I love most things about babble and I keep coming back. I like to be supportive to players who have a rough time or just are aggrevated and want to vent.

3:27 am

Andree

the chat that annoys me most is when those without kids give advice to those with

3:28 am

sprite

I also love being able to vent and get reactions, as long as they are non judgemental indeed, and feel I am not alone. And I love the game and lots of the babble people.

3:28 am

sandyloo

Lets face it none of us are perfect

3:28 am

mrpresident

Indeed Andree! that is a cardinal sin amongst childed people

3:28 am

Jellen

Oops, I'm a without...but refrain from giving advice :-)

3:29 am

sprite

hell no, not even getting close to perfect. And that is great too. Being human together.

3:29 am

sandyloo

I love to hear different opinions

3:29 am

Andree

me too sandy

3:30 am

sandyloo

have to throw some veges in the pot

3:30 am

sprite

me too

3:30 am

sprite

the opinions, not the veggies

3:30 am

mrpresident

oh wow, a UN word that doesn't refer to pee!

3:30 am

sprite

lol

3:31 am

sprite

that was UR, I bet

3:31 am

mrpresident

UR sorry!

3:31 am

sprite

*giggles*

3:32 am

mrpresident

Tara was right, this one is abit hard!

3:33 am

sprite

it gets harder after the first 3/4, indeed

3:34 am

Andree

1/2 way and opening lickety

3:35 am

Andree

i am very easy on myself and go to lickety at the 1/2 way mark no matter what size

3:35 am

sandyloo

69 left and not opening lickety

3:36 am

sandyloo

YET!

3:36 am

sprite

being easy on yourself is a good thing, I think

3:36 am

Jellen

I sometimes hit lickety before 1/2 way...it depends upon my brain function...

3:37 am

mrpresident

holy moly! the kids just handed me all the school notes! I will be up half the night sorting through this!

3:37 am

sprite

don't often use lickety, but shamelessly use all clues I see in chat, sometimes a2z or google too.

3:37 am

sprite

wow mrP!

3:37 am

Jellen

Can't resist a clue in chat!

3:38 am

Andree

me either, i am always disappointed if a word is clued and i already have it, how dumb is that

3:39 am

sprite

lol Andree, I know the feeling!

3:39 am

Andree

1st day of school today for my 2 5 year old grandchildren, they looked so cute

3:40 am

sandyloo

They always look cute on their first day

3:40 am

3:42 am

Eva

jellen-you and I seem to representing the US insomniacs

3:42 am

Jellen

lol, that's right, Eva!

3:43 am

Andree

the funniest part of that was i got that bit about the s from the 2 year old when i got home

3:43 am

sprite

not pleasant you cannot sleep, but great to have you around, Jellen and Eva

3:43 am

sprite

awwww Andree that is so cute!

3:43 am

redturtlehead

I'm here lurking, but, would rather be asleep....on way to work.

3:43 am

Jellen

Hi, red!

3:43 am

Andree

hi red

3:43 am

sprite

hey red!

3:44 am

mrpresident

hi eva :)
hi red :)

3:44 am

Andree

night duty red?

3:44 am

Eva

thank you sprite. did actually go to bed very early last night as it snowed all day, and got sleepy from just sitting around watching it fall

3:44 am

sandyloo

I want Snow!!!

3:45 am

redturtlehead

Oh no, its 4 45 am here, I have to be there at 6:30.

3:45 am

Jellen

I haven't been to bed yet...

3:45 am

redturtlehead

I do not ever want snow in my life yet.

3:45 am

Andree

me either red

3:45 am

mrpresident

I got the snow shovel diaries! Laughed so hard at that!!

3:46 am

Eva

I could send you some in a freezer bag sandy. Before the snow yesterday I had the bright idea of going out and digging out the propane tank inlet and putting a stake there so we would actually be able to find it again when the fuel truck comes.

3:46 am

Jellen

We got out of the house today...most of the roads were clear...had a lovely dinner at an Italian restaurant...

3:46 am

sprite

mesmerizing, falling snow. I don't drive at night when it snows. I can handle all sorts of weather, but not that... it is like driving into a caleidoscope... I go right into trance

3:46 am

Eva

why no sleep Jellen?!

3:46 am

sprite

wow Eva, that is practical

3:47 am

redturtlehead

that was smart Eva. Just like they do up north with the fire hydrants!

3:47 am

Eva

it's from bitter experience sprite. It's amazingv how you can lose a 500 gallon tank.

3:47 am

sandyloo

I can't even imagine any of this snow thing

3:47 am

Jellen

Don't know, just in a good mood, I guess...don't want day to end...

3:48 am

Andree

your occupation is in the grid red

3:48 am

redturtlehead

I noted it Andree...with an extension no less!

3:49 am

sprite

the pt or another one?

3:49 am

redturtlehead

the PT.

3:49 am

sprite

thanks for both :)

3:49 am

Andree

i was just wondering the same thing sprite

3:51 am

redturtlehead

uh oh, lots of UN words, like RE words....but less familiar.

3:53 am

sprite

not tough per se, but the randomness of which ones are valid and which are not are irkitating.

3:53 am

Jellen

I like that word...irkitating!

3:53 am

redturtlehead

Yes thats the issue sprtie. I have to try bunches to figure out which Un is the right Un.... LOL

3:53 am

sprite

:)

3:55 am

Jellen

Ah, sleep is catching up with me...5 more minutes...

3:55 am

sprite

ah nice, Jellen, go with the flow ;)

3:56 am

redturtlehead

Ahhh Jellen, I will admit to a bit of Jealousy. I want to go back to sleep.

3:56 am

o-o

I simply accept that enable is arbitrary ... no amount of irritation will change that.. enables caprice is a given

3:56 am

Jellen

Btw, Haz is listed as being online and her profile is available, if you care to read it...

3:56 am

sandyloo

just changed my icon

3:57 am

Jellen

Caprice is another great term...

3:57 am

redturtlehead

Is there some reason I would want to read Haz's profile?

3:57 am

sprite

yeah but you are much wiser than I'll ever be, BabbleRabble.

3:57 am

redturtlehead

I enjoy Caprice! as a word that is.

3:57 am

redturtlehead

I mean, other than just to read it.

3:57 am

Andree

hi babble

3:58 am

Jellen

She has some opinion about the chat that are thought-provoking...

3:59 am

sandyloo

can someone tell me why my new pic is not showing on my profile

3:59 am

Jellen

Haver you refreshed, sandy?

3:59 am

redturtlehead

Oh Jellen, I think I have heard her opinion. and its her opinion. I tend not to be too affected by it.

3:59 am

sprite

Jellen

Eva

DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER

December 8 - 6:00 PM
It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I
took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the
huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma
Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

5:23 am

mrpresident

December 9
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every
inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more
lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've
ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy
again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon
the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect

5:24 am

mrpresident

December 12
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My
neighbor tells me not to worry- we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

5:25 am

mrpresident

December 14
Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to
-20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath
away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This
is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried
everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this
much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I
wish l wouldn't huff and puff so.

5:25 am

mrpresident

December 15
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

5:26 am

mrpresident

December 16
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway
putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour,
which I think was very cruel.

5:27 am

mrpresident

December 17
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere.
Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe
I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

5:28 am

MonkeyGames

Still enjoying it so far, Mr. P!

5:28 am

mrpresident

December 20
Electricity's back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and
they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're
lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

5:29 am

mrpresident

December 22
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter, but he says
he's too busy. I think the a**hole is lying.

5:30 am

mrpresident

December 23
Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted
me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying.

5:32 am

mrpresident

December 24
6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to
sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.

5:32 am

MonkeyGames

I'm copying this to e-mail to Danny, too. He could use a good laugh at work.

5:33 am

mrpresident

December 25
Merry f---ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight -
Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate
the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into
the microwave.

5:33 am

mrpresident

December 26
Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

5:34 am

mrpresident

December 27
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after
14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace
all my pipes.

5:34 am

mrpresident

December 28
Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me
crazy!!!

5:34 am

mrpresident

December 29
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave
in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think
I am?

5:35 am

mrpresident

December 30
Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted.

5:35 am

mrpresident

December 31
I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

5:35 am

mrpresident

January 8
Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

5:36 am

mrpresident

the end!

5:37 am

5:44 am

Eva

great story mrp! Before I read it I was eying the roof over the addition and wondering whether we needed to do anything about the snow. It's supposed to warm over the next couple of days to the mid-20's so if there is any sun some of it might slide off. Never thought I would spend so much of my life on snow math

5:44 am

MonkeyGames

OK, I will now admit there are 6 F's. But clearly no more.

5:45 am

Oh cool, the entering gibberish thing works on the f's! But really there are only 9...

6:10 am

I honestly stayed rather out of that one and remember few details, but there was a whole thing that got rather out of hand about too many people asking for clues and too many giving too easy ones and whatnot. I hope it's all blown over.

Hi Lori!

6:14 am

mrpresident

hi lori :)

6:15 am

Atalante

help me out here, Lori! what was the bigger issue in chat, not just the clueing thing

6:15 am

mrpresident

monkey, it was more to do with the chat... the 'type' of chat. She has her opinion about it and is deserved

6:16 am

LoriP

Aside from repeating the same story over and over and over and over?

6:16 am

Atalante

and over and over some more?

6:16 am

mrpresident

she didn't like people 'airing their dirty laundry' perhaps?? it became too much of a stress, as I can assertain

6:16 am

Eva

21 left and I don't believe they exist

6:17 am

LoriP

The very fine line between beign supportive, and enabling, IMO. I speak for myself on this, Haz's profile pretty much clarifies her thoughts. I won't speak for her.

6:17 am

LoriP

lol Eva, this looks like one of those sneaky grids.

6:17 am

movieman

i only have half the f's and i can't see any more

6:17 am

Atalante

good point, go adn look at HAz's profile, she wrote a lot in there

6:17 am

Eva

I wasn't able to find a profile for Haz. How do I do that?

6:17 am

KristineNas

May I please have a clue for the Du 6,24 ?

6:17 am

MonkeyGames

Aha. Ummm... I just figure we have different types on here and we will all get our turn to say what we want to... Have I been a perpetrator? I have told my good news a few times... can never remember who was on when, you understand...

6:18 am

MonkeyGames

How do I get to her profile when she's not on?

6:21 am

MonkeyGames

Speaking of all this and not wanting to perpetrate repeat storytelling, I am now going to put my good news in my profile.... BRB.

6:21 am

I'm sure they have heard and said much worse Lori.

6:32 am

MonkeyGames

I tried it. One never knows.

6:33 am

sadie52

hehehe very true

6:34 am

Trifioso

the first part of this grid absolutely FLEW for me - I join you with only 24 left, which is amazing for me. but now, of course, gridlock

6:34 am

mrpresident

the last 1/4 is tricky

6:34 am

MonkeyGames

I'm locking up at 32 to go...

6:35 am

mrpresident

monkey has gridlock

6:35 am

sadie52

maybe i should inject some caffiene first lol

6:35 am

Trifioso

i have yet to finish a grid without lickety, which remains a goal for me. didn't finish yesterday's at all, which really cheesed me, but I fell asleep....

6:35 am

MonkeyGames

Sorry to be inexcusably dense but my brain is NOT handling those du clues well. Dumbed-down version maybe?

6:36 am

MonkeyGames

I rarely finish these days, but I have finished twice without the list... way back when...

6:36 am

sadie52

im happy i can finish a grd at all :)

6:36 am

mrpresident

nah, I was confusing you
du + girls name.... A***, change the first vowel of the name

6:36 am

Trifioso

i don't really check all the rankings, but do watch the who's hot one. what a drag - didn't finish, and my rank went down five points. pisser

6:36 am

mrpresident

it goes off the top left D

6:37 am

Trifioso

question for you aussies - isn't "dunnies" a slang for toilets, or bathrooms there?

6:37 am

MonkeyGames

Ah, no wonder! I have been trying with the bottoim D! Thanks!

6:37 am

mrpresident

yes trif (very upset about enable)

6:38 am

Trifioso

I am upset about enable too, but glad my brain got it right....i seem to be slipping more and more as the years go by

6:38 am

Trifioso

well, here's a gift from america: the fu7 is what we call the comics in the newspaper, if that helps anyone at all

6:39 am

mrpresident

ah, the hystericals

6:40 am

Trifioso

6:41 am

Trifioso

6:41 am

MonkeyGames

It'll take you a while to get into a groove. Hang in there!

6:41 am

Trifioso

does anyone have the third k word? I have hold, held

6:42 am

mrpresident

6:42 am

Atalante

6:42 am

MonkeyGames

Change last letter of held to a vowel.

6:42 am

Trifioso

oh, monkey, I just read your profile - CONGRATULATIONS on your degree! how delightful!!!

6:42 am

Trifioso

merci! got it!

6:43 am

MonkeyGames

I'm celebrating so I can have some popcorn, right? Tomorrow I get diet-serious again... and stop alcohol for 3 weeks because I was taking too much ibuprofin for too long...

6:43 am

Atalante

6:43 am

Atalante

oh yes, much popcorn!

6:43 am

MonkeyGames

Hey, thanks, Trif! I feel pretty strange...

6:43 am

6:43 am

MonkeyGames

OK, brb.

6:44 am

MonkeyGames

I get cupcakes Saturday, residual birthday. Walter wants to make them (WITH Daddy). BRB.

6:48 am

MonkeyGames

OK, back. AND with a beer. Oooh, I'm bad!

6:49 am

as you can see, we respectfully maintained radio silence in your absence

6:49 am

LoriP

***slides chat back open, mumbling incoherently about deceptive grid***

6:49 am

Trifioso

hello lori!

6:50 am

MonkeyGames

Most kind. Microwave popcorn, sadly. Cannot get good popcorn here atall atall, and ran out of the good stuff I brought on my last trip to Berkeley.

6:50 am

Trifioso

what is the good stuff?

6:51 am

LoriP

Buenas Dias Tri.

6:51 am

MonkeyGames

Well, even Redenbackers (I know I mangled that spelling) is fine,but in Berkeley they have this chain Andronicos, and they have three-colored native popcorn that is SOOO nutty and delicious!

6:54 am

Trifioso

never heard of the tri color one....wonder if we have something similar here in the ne? the big thrill here is the stuff the boy scouts sell. it is amazingly good

6:54 am

MonkeyGames

I always bring back popcorn, beef jerkey, and maple syrup.

6:54 am

MonkeyGames

Hmmm, wish I could try that...

6:54 am

sadie52

the staples of life!

6:55 am

MonkeyGames

You bet!

6:55 am

Trifioso

in dominica, some ladies started a business selling banana chips, that were like potato chips, not like those sad dried things they sell in the bulk food section of US markets. miss them like crazy

6:55 am

Atalante

I always bring back mint Oreos

6:55 am

sadie52

oh i love those

6:55 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, I'll bet those are good, Trif!

6:56 am

Atalante

mint oreos and stove top

6:56 am

Trifioso

ate my own weight in them last time I was there....in ireland I used to JONES for mcvities homewheats, which they sell here now, but at $6 a roll, and fruit of the forest yogurt, which never made it here, sadly

6:57 am

Trifioso

my kids miss that orange drink stuff - I think it is called multi, or something. we can ....sometimes....get it here, but it's rare

6:57 am

MonkeyGames

Kettle chips. We can get a few flavors here, but nbot cheddar & beer, Tuscan three cheeses, Buffalo bleu, Thai chili...

6:57 am

Atalante

any time I go to Oregon I eat so many Oreos for about 3 days, then I can't look at them for ages!

6:57 am

Trifioso

oh, and cadbury ballerinas (are the made by cadbury?) ballerinas

6:57 am

MonkeyGames

We have Multivit here... comes in may flavors... is that it?

6:58 am

Trifioso

i think it must be, monkey. you add water to it

6:58 am

Atalante

ballerinas?!

6:58 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, well either not the same stuff or we just don't havew the powder.

6:59 am

Trifioso

and I have a thriving blackmarket business mailing marshmallow fluff to the gals back in ireland....it's not powder, monkey, it is a concentrated juice, sort of like ribena, but opaque and orange flavored

7:00 am

Trifioso

in a way, I like that there are special things you can only get in some places. makes them unique, and the world less generic

7:00 am

MonkeyGames

Hmmm. Here we have Multivit in regular strength, in boxes. I will keep my eyes open for you though.

7:00 am

7:08 am

Trifioso

thanks for asking, ata! Went to one of my favorites sites, flylady.net, and printed out her student control journal PDF and put it in a binder for Secondo. told her to do what was in there, and that I would not be dropping off her stuff anymore. she LOVED the control journal, and has been using it non stop. it's only the first day, but she was so happy, and relieved, to have an organization plan

7:08 am

I didn't either! geez louise!

7:11 am

I meat a woman in San Diego years ago who had 6 nine-year-old boys. She had it hard enough. Met her at a fabric store, of course-- no way she could afford to clothe them all retail.

7:11 am

lol@haz..i now make it a piont to clue the same word 4 wimes in 5 minutes:)

7:11 am

7:13 am

Trifioso

LOL cross - of course she can tell all the personal stories SHE wants.

7:13 am

MonkeyGames

When we first moved here we were so poor I made us warm robes out of blankets from Goodwill...

7:13 am

Trifioso

very creative monkey! I bet they were lovely and warm, too!

7:13 am

crosshair

we have a family with a set of quints here,she just uses the sally ann and thrift stores for clothes casuse as she says"they all grow so fast,why buy new?"

7:13 am

MonkeyGames

They were SERIOUSLY ugly and very warm.

7:14 am

Trifioso

hey, I do that, and I only have three. my girlfriend lisa gave up on her boy when he hit puberty, and would only buy him one pair of pants at a time, and made him wear them every day until they were too short. Hand to god, the longest he wore one pair was THREE WEEKS - he grew so fast!

7:14 am

MonkeyGames

Speaking of warm, I need to stop being it now. The dog is getting urgent, so it's off to the woods with me, then it'll probably be time to go get Walter. I have a little leeway on that today as it's his daycare afternoon-- was my school day, you see.

7:16 am

Trifioso

okay, MG - enjoy your walk!

7:16 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks! Poof!

7:16 am

7:19 am

Trifioso

I know, it's so brilliant. Primo is more of a food issue. I swear he has a tapeworm. He now eats 2 school lunches a day, as well as every thing I have here in the house. and get this - he has yet to crack 120, and he is 15! Just an absolute bean pole.

7:20 am

Atalante

I'd give him worming tablets :P

7:20 am

sadie52

oh geeze he will eat you out of house and home

7:20 am

Trifioso

take out the sharp securing devices, and conjugate, inappropriate, not required to be returned to the library yet, reverse your previous action, and conjugate, reverse action but change final vowel, reverse action change final vowel and double that vowel

2:59 pm

Conjugating is sticking the endings on verbs. In this case it's the same as the "plural" ending.

3:03 pm

dan2bit

conjugate is to express all the verb forms: I am you are he is we are...

I'm trying to get all Babblers to try it, I've already converted Scrabs. Scrabs? Think it was her!

4:15 pm

Krista

ooh..no, i think it sounds great..the bergamot in EGey is citrus, isn't it? so it would work

hi aslindy

4:54 pm

jillibus

hi everyone -- just fireworked

4:55 pm

aslindy

way to go

4:55 pm

jillibus

so I can clue for a bit if needed

4:55 pm

JBV

hi jilli - thanks, I need only 15 more, just opened the list though, I was totally stuck

4:55 pm

jillibus

jbv -- how's your hubby doing?

4:56 pm

aslindy

I've only gotten 70 so far... a ways to go before I ask for hints, probably.

4:57 pm

jjks

congrats jilli

4:57 pm

JBV

jilli, we have an appointment tomorrow for a procedure that we hope will solve a big problem he has been dealing with (we have been dealing with, since I'm on nursing duty here, too) - keep your fingers crossed for us

4:58 pm

jillibus

forgive me -- we are all wordies -- why do people say "a ways to go" when "a" indicates the next word is singular? Why isn't it "a way to go"?

4:58 pm

jillibus

good luck, jbv

4:59 pm

jjks

not sure.. but you're right we do say it that way! your icon makes my mouth water, btw... :)

4:59 pm

aslindy

good question... and wouldn't it make moe sense to say "a long way to go" ?

4:59 pm

JBV

sounds like a good question for the Puzzler, Jilli - a column in the Atlantic Monthly for exactly that type of question - have no idea but you're right of course

4:59 pm

Atalante

(we say a way to go)

4:59 pm

Atalante

(not that I'm still here)

4:59 pm

jillibus

I guess the "ways" is an American thing...

5:00 pm

aslindy

could be

5:00 pm

jillibus

Oh no, Ata, of course you're not here ;)

5:01 pm

Atalante

(not here now. really. *whoosh* :D)

5:01 pm

jillibus

JBV, that column sounds interesting -- is it online?

5:02 pm

JBV

I don't know, you could try it - i get it in the mail

5:02 pm

jillibus

*going to see if Atlantic Monthly is online*

5:02 pm

JBV

oh, sorry, it's not the Puzzler, that's the cryptic crossword, it has another name, i'll find it for you

5:02 pm

Michnick

8:36 pm

featherbee

night lind!

8:36 pm

Krista

he saved failing restaurants..with his special brand of "love" lol

8:36 pm

Krista

it was like The Salon on Bravo, if you ever saw that

8:37 pm

featherbee

well, it's like, yeah he's an a-hole, but he's one because he's so exacting and has extremely high standards. i said to doug, he's like a drill sergeant for the culinary set.

8:38 pm

Krista

exactly! i cant help but laugh at some of the things he says

8:39 pm

stidmama

bye lindy...

8:39 pm

Krista

no shame here...un4/6 and un 6/24 please????

8:39 pm

stidmama

sorry, watching tv and reading email now

8:40 pm

stidmama

un 4/6 is to un-accomplish something, and then "plural" for the 6

8:40 pm

Pinikula

8:40 pm

Pinikula

(ps: Im back)

8:40 pm

Krista

what? you have other interests outside of us Stid?

8:40 pm

hurshy

i dunno, i think simon cowell is mean for a reason, he wants people to not waste their time. but like, on tonight's idol, he called that girl's boss to ask for her job back. i don't feel like the hk chef is mean in a productive way, nor is he nice in ANY way.

8:40 pm

Krista

UGH how embarrassing..i missed the small ones all day

8:40 pm

Krista

ty!

8:41 pm

Jellen

Pinikula

8:42 pm

Pinikula

2 Us, 4 Ps, and 5 Fs...oy

8:42 pm

hurshy

if you have high standards, you ought to realize that cruelty to the people you supervise is not the best way to get those standards met... just as torture is an ineffective interrogation technique.

8:42 pm

Jellen

Hello, everyone...

8:42 pm

Pinikula

hi jellen

8:42 pm

Krista

yeah, it makes good tv though, sad to say...totally would not motivate me to give my best

8:43 pm

Krista

hey jellen!

8:43 pm

featherbee

(want to participate in the discussion, but to enthralled with the tv)

8:43 pm

hurshy

it's like when your parents would say, "stop crying or i'll give you something to cry about"

8:43 pm

Krista

8:43 pm

Pinikula

U's: I have un 4 6 5 5 5 6 and ur 4

8:43 pm

Pinikula

Didn't know that every parent used it! LOL

8:44 pm

Pinikula

I hear, "Just wait until you father gets home!"

8:44 pm

Krista

i have never said that to my kids..never will

8:44 pm

Pinikula

8:44 pm

Jellen

8:45 pm

Krista

featherbee

3 HOURS to wait for an entree?

8:45 pm

Pinikula

I have 1 un5/14...is there another?

8:45 pm

hurshy

see? ineffective methods.

8:46 pm

Pinikula

I would have left after the first 1 hour!

8:46 pm

Krista

i know! who would even wait that long..must want 2 be on tv really badly

8:46 pm

Krista

no pini..that's it..didnt see it on your list

8:46 pm

Pinikula

maybe the meal's free no matter how long you have to wait for it.

8:46 pm

featherbee

ok, commercial, i can chat again, lol

8:46 pm

Jellen

2 un 5/14s

8:46 pm

Krista

oh duh..nevermind..pini..being stupid here

8:46 pm

featherbee

i'm guessing that it's a high pressure job to be a top chef, so he's doing trial by fire

8:47 pm

Krista

yes there are

8:47 pm

Pinikula

* sniffle * I think I need a 4/5 at the beginning

8:47 pm

hurshy

but it's the wrong kind of pressure

8:47 pm

featherbee

if they can't handle him, they won't be able to handle the real stresses and pressures of running a kitchen

8:47 pm

Krista

from what i've heard/read..it really is brutal in pro kitchens

8:47 pm

Jellen

Going to go wait for my rice to cook...

8:48 pm

hurshy

like, ok, when house yelled at those students, and they said it was hard to think with him in their faces, he said "you think it's going to be easy when you have a real patient really dying?"

8:48 pm

Pinikula

hb jellen

8:48 pm

Krista

enjoy, jellen..but dont watch the pot it wont boil

8:48 pm

hurshy

but he didn't say it in a MEAN way, he said it in a you-have-to-realize-this-important-fac
t way

8:48 pm

Krista

fu 5/18 please?

8:49 pm

Pinikula

is there a un4/5 before the un + ** re mi?

8:49 pm

featherbee

yeah, like that, but more "you think it's going to be easy when you have hungry people costing you money because they leave?" lol

8:49 pm

featherbee

but he was mean when yelling, yes?

8:49 pm

Pinikula

I don't have that one, yet, krista

8:49 pm

Krista

yes..un4/6

8:49 pm

hurshy

no, actually, i don't think he was.

8:49 pm

featherbee

show's back, can't debate anymore

8:50 pm

Krista

its like that one u mentioned..but change last vowel

8:50 pm

hurshy

8:50 pm

Krista

8:52 pm

Pinikula

8:52 pm

hurshy

why is kraft mac & cheese so yummy?

8:52 pm

Krista

hee hee..let's see Pini

8:52 pm

Pinikula

because it has that many calories!

8:53 pm

Krista

there is a 4,5,4,6,5,5,5,6,4

8:53 pm

hurshy

does it?

8:53 pm

hurshy

i didn't think it was particularly calorieful, just lacking all nutritive value

8:53 pm

Pinikula

I just got a book: Eat This Not This...very interesting!

8:53 pm

Krista

come on people..it's only the 5th or so time i've finished in 5 years..i need some cheers

8:54 pm

8:56 pm

Pinikula

8:56 pm

Krista

8:57 pm

Krista

i love the sound effects on Hells Kitchen..that horror movie screeching sound lol

8:58 pm

Krista

hurshy..you prefer lexulous or scrabble?

8:58 pm

Pinikula

likewise, krista...

8:58 pm

hurshy

lex

8:59 pm

Pinikula

Oh, here are the stats on two types of Kraft Mac & Chees: Deluxe Mac & Chees = 290 calorie

8:59 pm

Krista

okey doke..i need to go..spent way to much time here today...thanks so much for clues and chat!

8:59 pm

Pinikula

Deluxe Mac & Cheese = 290 calories, 4.5 g fat; 850 mg sodium, 2 g fiber

9:00 pm

Pinikula

regular (family size) = 410 calories, 19 g fat, 710 mg sodium, 1 g fiber

9:00 pm

hurshy

i just have regular, not deluxe

9:00 pm

hurshy

huh. why would deluxe be less fat?

9:00 pm

Pinikula

the book's been very "enlightening"! :)

9:00 pm

Krista

night all

9:01 pm

Pinikula

it's not, it's the better choice of the 2

9:01 pm

Pinikula

night krista!

9:01 pm

Pinikula

really not sure why, but oh well...

9:02 pm

Pinikula

The guy who wrote the book(s) was on Oprah this week...I bought the book a week or so ago...yesterday's tv program with O was informative...

9:02 pm

Pinikula

for example: What is better for you: pork bacon or turkey bacon?

9:03 pm

hurshy

wait wait wait

9:04 pm

hurshy

where did this 19 g of fat number come from

9:04 pm

Pinikula

let me find it in the book again

9:05 pm

hurshy

kraft's website says deluxe has 10 g fat and regular only has like 2.5 or 3

9:06 pm

Pinikula

hmmm....

9:06 pm

Pinikula

I'd better compare what the book says to Kraft's website then before I open my mouth again.

9:07 pm

tempo

but what's the bacon answer, pini?

9:07 pm

Pinikula

what's your guess, tempo?

9:07 pm

tempo

turkey seems logical, so that's probably wrong

9:08 pm

weiik

of course, pork bacon

9:08 pm

Pinikula

Pork it is...

9:08 pm

weiik

now the ? is ... why?

9:08 pm

hurshy

oddly enough, though a family size box appears to simply be twice the amount of the regular size box, and have twice the number of servings, somehow a serving from the family size box has 2.5 grams of fat and a serving from the regular size box has 3.5.

9:08 pm

Pinikula

...the reasoning being that why would anyone want to turn a turkey into a pig and then add all the additives to it to change the flavor?

9:09 pm

hurshy

cause pork was meant to be baconed... can you imagine what they must have to do to a turkey to... yeah

9:09 pm

tempo

yeah, makes sense

9:09 pm

Pinikula

One of the other comparisons they had was...which is better for you: (a) multi-grain bagel with light cream cheese or (b) a glazed donut?

9:10 pm

weiik

and why would you want turkey mixed in with home fries

9:10 pm

hurshy

although i have to say that i find turkeyham sometimes even more delicious than regular ham.

9:10 pm

hurshy

oooh please say it's the glazed donut!

9:10 pm

tempo

don't tell me the donut!

9:10 pm

Pinikula

It's the DONUT!!!

9:10 pm

hurshy

yaaaaaaay

9:10 pm

tempo

I'm running out first thing in the morning to get one!

9:11 pm

hurshy

i love a good donut

9:11 pm

hurshy

of course, my breakfast is probably healthier than both

9:11 pm

Pinikula

Why? do you ask? because multi-grain simply means refined wheat...it could have been different if it were a WHOLE-grain bagel

9:11 pm

tempo

tricky, pini

9:11 pm

hurshy

banana with smart balance brand peanut butter sometimes in a potato roll, sometimes not.

9:12 pm

Pinikula

he explained that, easily put, multi-grain is simply brown white bread

9:12 pm

weiik

i thought it would be the addition of the cream cheese, I heard your body does not digest it well

9:12 pm

Pinikula

well done hurshy!

9:12 pm

hurshy

it gives me the protein i need to get through til lunch without getting hungry :) i could be a commercial for smart balance peanut butter.

9:12 pm

Pinikula

they didn't even get to the cream cheese part!

9:13 pm

Pinikula

You just might be a poster child for "Eat This Not That", hurshy!

9:14 pm

Pinikula

I learned more in a hour of Oprah than I have in the past 20 years regarding how to eat...because he made it so stupid proof!

9:14 pm

hurshy

unfortunately, my nutrition for the rest of the day doesn't always match up to my breakfast level.

9:14 pm

hurshy

today i had a quesedilla... but it had rice and beans with it, so that's something...

9:15 pm

hurshy

then dinner... mac & cheese, hot dog, low-fat cookies and dark chocolate...

9:15 pm

Pinikula

I had leftover spaghetti for lunch...and am having garlic shrimp pasta for dinner

9:16 pm

Pinikula

maybe not the most pristine poster child, hurshy! ;)

9:16 pm

hurshy

well, dark choc in moderation is good for the heart

9:16 pm

tempo

fireworks here - thanks for the nutrition lesson, pini

9:16 pm

stidmama

hello again... finished eating my left-over chinese food for supper...

9:18 pm

tempo

hi dc - how's the ice?

9:18 pm

hurshy

9:18 pm

Jellen

9:19 pm

hurshy

9:19 pm

9:50 pm

hurshy

i put those quotes in the wrong place.

9:51 pm

what is a 4F?

10:08 pm

hurshy

the draft board would rate your fitness for war. A1, off you go. 4F, you have medical issues that mean they don't want you.

10:09 pm

hurshy

1A, rather.

10:09 pm

Pinikula

ahhhh

10:11 pm

10:23 pm

hi jac

10:23 pm

Jellen

Hi, Jac

10:23 pm

Jacula

Hi Pink. How are you today?

10:23 pm

Pinikula

not too bad, u?

10:24 pm

Jacula

Hi Jellen. You having a good day?

10:24 pm

Jacula

Pink - not been to slep yet, so still on yesterday, which was fine.

10:25 pm

Pinikula

ack!!! no sleep yet???

10:25 pm

Jacula

*sleep, not slep.ERK!

10:25 pm

Jellen

Today's been fairly decent...disappointing dinner, but hey, it was frozen :-)

10:27 pm

Jacula

No, Pink, it seems to happen thst way these days - I go to bed at a reasonable time but get disturbed by various things, which, if they wake me suddenly, give me a half hour long series of 'night sweats'. Then, a few days' later, I can't sleep.

10:27 pm

Jacula

Plays havoc with my body clock!

10:27 pm

Pinikula

ooooh, sorry to hear, jac ;(

10:27 pm

Jellen

brb...going to make some dessert...

10:28 pm

Jacula

Jellen - what did you have for dinner and I hope it wasn't still frozen when you ate it, unless it was icecream.

10:29 pm

Jacula

Ah, Jellen's making dessert. Can't have been icecream for dinner then.

10:31 pm

Jacula

Well, if anyone wants clues I'll be here for 15 - 30 mins.

10:32 pm

Pinikula

I finished awhile ago, jac, so I'm sitting here watching TV and checking the chog in case someone needs anything...

10:33 pm

Jacula

Ah, okay, Pink.

10:35 pm

markbowers7

hi all

10:35 pm

Jacula

It's just us two vampiric types together then? LOL

10:35 pm

Jacula

Hi Mark.

10:36 pm

Pinikula

and now mark, too ... hi there..

10:38 pm

Jacula

Mark - just listening to the first track of your music - I think I bought that on cassette tape back in the 90s?

10:38 pm

Jacula

It seems very familiar. It was one of the tapes I played in bed to calm me just after my marriage breakup.

10:38 pm

markbowers7

i hope not

10:39 pm

markbowers7

meaning, i hope it's not exactly like something you purchased on tape

10:39 pm

markbowers7

i've only released cds, at least officially

10:39 pm

Jellen

Back again, Jac. I had a frozen Chinese entree with rice for dinner...

10:40 pm

Jacula

Ah, I see, you're only 31. Very similar from the first few bars of the first track, Mark. I'll listen to the rest properly at another time though.

10:40 pm

markbowers7

it's a fairly common chord progession, so i wouldn't be all that surprised that you have heard something similar

10:40 pm

Jacula

Markm yes, I guessed that, having been around pianists and guitarists most of my life.

10:41 pm

markbowers7

well, i hope you enjoy it...and that it has a calming effect on you... :)

10:42 pm

Jacula

It's very frustrating for me as a poet, writer and lyricist to habve not mastered the art of playing an instrument. I can hear the music in my head and should know how to write it down, since I was taught musical notation at school. Ah!

10:43 pm

markbowers7

my grandparents are convinced that since i can compose music i should be able to write it down as well. i can, but am very bad at that, so i usually don't...

10:44 pm

Jacula

Marc - I'm sure I will. I will help me on my next stage in life after the major de-cluttering of the home. That will be the stage that assures me that 'you can't be all things to all men/people'.

10:45 pm

Jacula

Ah, Mark, you're like my ex-hubby. YOu can play brilliantly by ear but can't really write it down?

10:46 pm

markbowers7

i can read music and can write it down, but my music tends to be nearly all spontaneous, so recreating it for posterity is nearly impossible. i hope i'm not exactly like your ex...

10:46 pm

Jacula

He's finally about to go into a recording studio to do a cd of all his own stuff. Long overdue, and I'm glad our daughter is bullying him into it.

10:48 pm

Jacula

I doubt you're exactly like my Ex, Mark. No two people are exactly the same. But you have music and poetry in your soul.

10:48 pm

markbowers7

ty. i'll be sure to let you know when CD #2 is finished

10:48 pm

Jacula

Only wordsmiths/wordfreaks play this game. LOL

10:49 pm

Jacula

You do that. Mark. I'll listen to cd#1 later in full.

Do you know tha the latest da4 idea ere in UK, is for Food Police? They will knock n your door and expect to get access to your fridge, freezer, food cupboards and inside and outside bins. Then they will give you a lecture about food wastage, what you should be buying, portion sizes, etc.

Jacula

Is there no place in the world where bureaucracy does not beleaguer us?

11:28 pm

Christine

OMGosh, a woman gave birth to 8 babies on Monday - now the tv is reporting she has six children already. What responsible doctor(?) implants 8 embryos at any time, but especially to a woman who has six children -- poor daft soul lives with her husband, mother or MIL and children in a four bedroom house... egads, if ever there was a case for that Extreme Maakeover program ...

11:28 pm

jillibus

nope, jac -- probably not even in the jungles of Borneo

11:28 pm

Jacula

'Night Mark.

11:29 pm

mrpresident

fraid not jac :D

11:29 pm

Jacula

jilli - surely, soemwhere in the world we must be able to escape this cr*p?

11:29 pm

jillibus

Talk about irresponsible and "the world owes me a living", Christine!

11:29 pm

mrpresident

8 babies is a stupid amount of kids! as in, you would go stupid looking after that many kids

11:30 pm

Jacula

Oh, don't you go compounding my misery MrP. I'll have to go back to listening to Freebird with my dim lightbulbs in teenaged fashion thenm and SULK!

11:30 pm

jillibus

someone here just had quads and is looking for people to help out financially. Aaargh.

11:30 pm

Christine

Anyone remember how it felt with one baby, on those bad days that can happen to even the happiest of mothers.

11:31 pm

mrpresident

take some gear with you jac... sounds as though you need a chill session

11:32 pm

mrpresident

people here with 3 or more multiplee births get government assistance... they get all the equipment they need, formula, nappies and money to boot!

11:32 pm

Jacula

Christine - not likely t forget! But I did go on to have another babem who was sweet, compliant and quiet until she got to about 12. Then she turned into the daughter from hell. I don't need to go into how now, for most Babblers.

11:33 pm

Jacula

Mr.P - I don't 'do' gear. It does nothing for me and gives me a headache. Booze is better.

11:42 pm

mrpresident

yes jac, have had to look into all the case studies about kids. They don't foster kids out unless there is bad trouble at home.
Our kids have it so easy, and look forward to 'taking in' other children.

11:42 pm

rururocks
