Good very Good.

12:23 am

VolleymomDee

haven't seen kiwi in awhile; is she okay?

12:23 am

westford

glad to hear it

12:24 am

herinfernallady

What the hell is with that octopus lady wanting compassion as she is single 6 kids already through IVF. I say she is selfish and should pay for it herself.

12:24 am

herinfernallady

Kiwi is good

12:24 am

VolleymomDee

wow herin; that is exactly what my hubby said at dinner tonight

12:24 am

westford

strange woman that's for sure

12:25 am

MLFAN17

herin is kiwi busy lately?

12:25 am

Christine

yes, herin, but decent people won't let children suffer - they didn't choose their mother

12:25 am

herinfernallady

She has a history of depression - which can be passed on to the children. Her parents are minding the other 6 she is not capable of working yet the fertility clinic let this happen.

12:26 am

westford

some heads are going to roll on that one

12:26 am

VolleymomDee

ri 7 ri 8

12:26 am

magazinemom

and she will be considered mentally ill, so will probably get some sort of compensation that way

12:26 am

herinfernallady

Yes Christine by her poor parents have done raising her and now they have 6 more kids to raise and 8 more too. AND here is my AND she choose this.

12:27 am

MLFAN17

sorry herin i missed something who are you talking about?

12:27 am

angelinaxox

tx dee for those

12:27 am

herinfernallady

Mag I have absolutly no compassion for her deeds as she is purely selfish. She didn't get knocked up by nature which to me is different.

12:28 am

VolleymomDee

yw angel also already on disability for back issues and during that time had kids...it is nuts

12:28 am

herinfernallady

MLF the lady with Octuplets and 6 other kids.

12:28 am

magazinemom

oh I agree herin... just pointing out what will prob happen

12:28 am

MLFAN17

herin oh she has a history of depression and mental illlness?

12:28 am

herinfernallady

Mag also suffering and battling depression I will not go and get pregnant as its not fair on the child

12:28 am

herinfernallady

yes MLF

12:28 am

westford

they don't say how old the first 6 are but I saw 2 double strollers on the porch

12:29 am

magazinemom

the other 6 are ages 2-7

12:29 am

westford

oh my goodness

12:29 am

herinfernallady

THere is twins out of the 6 I know that

12:29 am

MLFAN17

i think they are under the age of 10>?

12:29 am

Christine

they are investigating the doctor who did the implants - how do you afford eight implants, plus the earlier six, at $20,000+ per go

12:29 am

magazinemom

she will have 14 under the age of 7

12:30 am

MLFAN17

christine.. sympathy?

12:30 am

westford

she has a degree in psychology

12:30 am

VolleymomDee

joshuavorbis

hi

12:30 am

VolleymomDee

lol will you share please

12:30 am

Kizah

What I find interesting is that she says she wanted children to make up for the very dysfunctional family she grew up in. Ironically enough...she still lives with her parents!

12:31 am

VolleymomDee

12:31 am

Hugabugs

se6

12:32 am

westford

she lives with her parents in a 3 bedroom house

12:32 am

westford

maybe she should buy a shoe

12:32 am

magazinemom

what I found astounding was that she had the back injury before pregnancy and is sitting on tv saying how it is worse now...really? back problems worse after having 14 kids? and 8 of them at one time...what are the chances? sheesh

12:32 am

herinfernallady

Did you read what I wrote about the woman in the shoe last night?

12:32 am

Kizah

And her mom went bankrupt last year, didn't she? I know she said in an interview that when the babies get home from the hospital she'll be gone...she's tired of taking care of the kids.

12:33 am

PAV3

ok 84 left for moi...I'm going to rest, and bbl in the morn...

12:33 am

westford

and so many people out there trying for just one

12:33 am

and so many children who need homes

12:34 am

Hugabugs

yes - it's ov8 and ov9

12:34 am

MLFAN17

i found 75 i am out poof

12:34 am

Kizah

We decided early on that there are too many children in the world to bring more into it. We're foster parents and are in the process of beginning to adopt. Sadly, I see foster care in the near future for these kids.

12:34 am

joshuavorbis

NBT in 4 minutes - wheeee

12:34 am

westford

why didn't she just adopt?

12:34 am

vashongin

ty hugs

12:34 am

herinfernallady

WOW KIZ that is awesome

12:34 am

westford

how nice kiz mrp and lickety are starting the process of fostering now

12:35 am

Kizah

Adoption isn't as easy as it seems...every aspect of your life is scrutinized...everything in detail. Maybe she tried and didn't qualify. You don't have to be approved to give birth.

12:35 am

westford

good job josh!!

12:35 am

magazinemom

that's nice Kiz- I am adopted

12:35 am

Hugabugs

yw vas

12:35 am

herinfernallady

I am adopted too

12:36 am

westford

that's very true and she didn't have the money to adopt from another country

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

still missing one 7 here :(

12:36 am

magazinemom

and I know who my birth family was/is and I know I got the best end of the deal

12:36 am

herinfernallady

yet she some how had the money for IVF. mmfph

12:36 am

Kizah

I think adoption is one of the most wonderful things in the world and I can't wait to be part of it. We lost an adoption a few years back when my husband got cancer...it was devastating, but the little girl did get adopted by a wonderful family.

12:36 am

westford

maybe not herin if she's on welfare it was paid for

12:37 am

westford

something very wrong with a health care system that lets that happen

12:37 am

magazinemom

because I am adopted I wanted children of my own, but if I ever wanted more I would adopt

12:37 am

herinfernallady

well that is bs west as she is not able to work how can she afford that

12:38 am

catep

here in aus all ivf is free if you are a public patient

12:38 am

Kizah

soed

12:38 am

westford

she can't work so the state pays and they wonder why CA is going broke

12:38 am

Kizah

Oops! Didn't mean to type that here.

12:38 am

herinfernallady

Hi Cate

12:38 am

catep

i have an ivf bub but through the private system.. adoption here was gunna take up to 7 years and well over 20g

12:38 am

catep

hey herein

12:39 am

westford

imagine

12:39 am

herinfernallady

You are very lucky Cat

12:39 am

Kizah

We were up to just over $20,000 when we lost our adoption. No refunds.

12:39 am

catep

we looked at adoption root but as we are both second marriage and hubby was over 40.. our chances were low.. sad really

12:40 am

catep

yeah bubs took just over 12months to happen and once we started ivf our adoption application was cancelled

12:40 am

westford

that is since so many couples are now having their first child in their 40's

12:41 am

herinfernallady

May parents were about to go off the list in the 1970's

12:41 am

Kizah

Here in the US, you can adopt through the foster care system and age and marital status aren't really held in that high of a regard. I'm 39 and DH is 42 and we are prime candidates to adopt.

12:41 am

westford

cate your baby is beautiful

12:41 am

catep

ty west i think so

12:41 am

o-o

I have enough problems of my own to deal with

12:42 am

herinfernallady

and Kiz good on you

12:42 am

herinfernallady

OH do you want to hear a stupid male comment. no offense to men

12:42 am

westford

yes bab you have to keep us in clues

12:42 am

justafreep

ooooh. ri7/8

12:42 am

catep

she's a gem nearly 2 now.. you can adopt through foster system here but for up to 2 years after custody is granted biological parents can get child back.. to hard emotionally i think

12:43 am

westford

that would be so heartbreaking

12:43 am

westford

what's the comment herin?

12:43 am

Kizah

You know, people tell us that a lot, but we really aren't adopting/fostering for any reason other than to give kids a home and love. It's nice that people hold us in high esteem, but it really isn't about that at all. We'd do it even if everyone was against it.

12:43 am

catep

i think so.. hubby and i have decided no more ivf but we are lookinf at being foster parents.. so lots of kids to love...

12:44 am

herinfernallady

Today it has got to 46 C /115 F and I said there is no non oven food. Himself goes AND. Im like and im not going to use the oven when its that hot

1:24 am

MonkeyGames

Hi until Walter wakes up! What I have read is that the calendar ending will end the world as it is. The last time it ended, we started agriculture and domestication of animals, and the time before that we tamed fire and made stone tools, so who knows what'll happen this time?

1:24 am

anike

little bits of nothing :)

4:39 am

I'll bet they're so soft

4:39 am

sprite

4:40 am

westford

4:41 am

sprite

Very but im not terribly amused with friends at the moment

4:45 am

sprite

thanks both of you, will pass it through

4:48 am

westford

such a good age

4:48 am

sprite

yes it is! Beautiful kids they are, growing into beautiful people.

4:49 am

herinfernallady

Isn 't it wonderful when friends go out and you are not invited

4:49 am

westford

I know they are sprite

4:49 am

westford

oh herin that's too bad

4:49 am

sprite

not really, that is a bit sad, lady

4:49 am

herinfernallady

Not terribly amused. no one has even got to asking ask

4:50 am

westford

maybe it was spur of the moment

4:50 am

herinfernallady

and there is no w reports that over 100 homes have been destroyed and people have been killed in the bushfires here and it all makes me very sad

4:50 am

herinfernallady

West that is what a PHONE is for

4:50 am

sprite

that is even worse. *hugs the lady*

4:51 am

westford

that is horrible

4:52 am

sprite

mrP told us about the bush fires yesterday. Such heat and everything dry as can be... it is awful.

4:53 am

westford

the worst part is some were set on purpose

4:53 am

sprite

omg

4:53 am

herinfernallady

It is. No one at the moment knows what is lost and what isn't. Its too dangerous to see what houses are gone. In the suburbs a grass fire caused 6 homes to go poof

4:54 am

westford

when they tell you to get out..get out

4:54 am

westford

things can be replaced

4:54 am

sprite

not sure there can be this many words in this grid, btw. It seems so tight to me.

4:54 am

herinfernallady

One woman had that whole this isn't right thing happen and her husband went out the back and his back yard was gone in flames. they lost everything. there was no warning.

4:55 am

westford

down to my last 5 all vi's

4:55 am

sprite

fire can be so treacherous and fast :( It is scary on that scale.

4:56 am

herinfernallady

I lived in the bush as a kid. nearly lost the house once. The poor fireman next door did.

4:57 am

westford

what's amazing to me is one house can be left standing when all the others go up in flames

4:57 am

sprite

the school of my kids burned down to the ground a couple of years ago. That was already so scary and it was still about 5 minutes' walk from our home.

4:58 am

sprite

indeed west. Unpredictable, fires.

4:58 am

westford

do they know what caused it sprite?

4:59 am

sprite

it was arsony, culprits never caught

4:59 am

westford

that's disgusting

4:59 am

westford

what did the kids do in the meantime share with another school?

5:00 am

sprite

yes it is. Some years before that the whole mall was burned down to the ground too.

5:00 am

herinfernallady

my old High school burnt down in sections 5 times in the senior wing twice in the admin wing

5:00 am

westford

what's wrong with people like that?

5:01 am

sprite

no it happened in the summer holidays. The holidays lasted 2 weeks longer and after that there were temporary classrooms, in a sort of campers

5:01 am

herinfernallady

West if you go to google maps and search for Crawley Road, Harkaway you can see we are not talking about bush its semi urban

5:01 am

sprite

west... that they are alive?

5:02 am

westford

how terrible herin are you in harm's way?

5:02 am

sprite

lots of people donated stuff for the temporary schools, other schools helped, and the local government helped too

5:02 am

sprite

are you in any danger yourself, lady?

5:03 am

herinfernallady

Nope. We are fine. We are in the suburbs

5:03 am

westford

most people will help so it makes up for the unmentionable kind

5:05 am

westford

happy to hear that herin but you said you were worried about some friends

5:05 am

sprite

it only takes one or two nonpersons to mess up things for all. But it is heartwarming to see how many people will help with all they can. The good outnumber the bad by far. It is a shame that a few can do so much harm and that their actions are so much more visible.

5:05 am

westford

absolutely sprite

5:05 am

sprite

am glad you are safe, lady. Take care. And I share your sadness about the people hurt and dead *hugs*

5:06 am

herinfernallady

There is no idea about deaths yet. people could easily be fighting a neighbours house fire or at a shelter or what ever that isn't bad

5:07 am

sprite

I hope so, lady!

5:07 am

herinfernallady

Sprite my family and friends and their family are safe.

5:08 am

sprite

thank God for that

5:08 am

westford

yes

5:10 am

herinfernallady

sadly the news has just confirmed 14 dead. I really wish we as humanity would think. I believe that the police would be looking in at charging arsonists that cause death with manslaughter

5:11 am

sprite

they should, it is only right. Arsonists are murderers.

5:11 am

westford

don't they already do that?

5:12 am

herinfernallady

I don't think so

5:12 am

sprite

I believe here they do, and in the US too.

5:12 am

westford

even if no one dies to lose everything should have its consequences

5:13 am

sprite

indeed west. It is great to come out of such an ordeal living, but having lost all you own and your place to live is terrible still.

5:14 am

herinfernallady

I feel that the person/s that do it should have to work in a burns ward (even if its just bucket duty) and should be given help

5:14 am

westford

good idea on both counts herin

5:15 am

mrpresident

evening all :))

5:15 am

sprite

first part sounds good to me. Not sure about the 2nd part... well my brain is but my heart says: the people that were their victims are more entitled to help.

5:15 am

sprite

hi mrP

5:15 am

herinfernallady

Having lived through one fire I can remember and a couple more I can't then they deserve all the badness they get.

5:15 am

westford

here's looking at you mrp lol

5:16 am

herinfernallady

Sprite I mean in the sense off Help as in um why and all that. and yes so should the victims. Hi MR PRES

5:16 am

sprite

yeah, I agree, lady, but part of me just wants them errrr burnt. Guess I am a little savage.

5:17 am

westford

that's biblical sprite an eye for an eye

5:18 am

sprite

I do realise revenge doesn't solve anything. But I can get so angry at people that hurt others purposefully. It doesn't make no sense at all to me.

5:19 am

westford

I agree

5:19 am

westford

most do think of the consequences

5:19 am

westford

I mean don't

5:20 am

mrpresident

if you are chatting about arsonists, they are blind siding murderers, they deserve the chair.

5:20 am

sprite

no indeed. And they should. It doesn't take more than a few seconds to realise a huge fire comes from a small flame. Nor to realise you have no business ruining other people's stuff.

5:20 am

westford

the sun is coming up and I have 4 to go I think I'll try to catch a few hours sleep before I start my day

5:21 am

sprite

that is the subject, mrP, and I am with you.

5:21 am

westford

we were mrp

5:21 am

mrpresident

see ya west! :)

5:21 am

sprite

woot west, you are strong! To leave 4, lol! Sleep well and dream of gentle things.

5:21 am

westford

mrp have you thought more about the soccer party?

5:21 am

westford

thank you sprite and you have a nice restful day

5:21 am

mrpresident

I haven't west! I am still deciding which way to go with it

5:22 am

sprite

thanks west, will do!

5:22 am

westford

you could ask everyone to bring their favorite appetizer

5:22 am

mrpresident

I am still open to suggestions

5:22 am

mrpresident

So I do invite their partners??

5:22 am

westford

hot or cold we've done that and it works very well

5:22 am

herinfernallady

HI MR PRES can I hug you?

5:22 am

westford

depends on whether they want to get away from them lol

5:23 am

mrpresident

hi infern! (hugs)

5:23 am

westford

how much will be business?

5:23 am

herinfernallady

Its just horrid here weather wise and so many people have lost everything and i just feel sad.

5:23 am

westford

I'm being jilli now lol

5:24 am

mrpresident

5:24 am

sprite

pulling a jilli on us, west, is a good thing!

5:24 am

mrpresident

oh infern! pray for them hun, that will lighten the load on your mind

5:24 am

mrpresident

I miss jilli! is she around?

5:25 am

westford

she left awhile ago but she'll be back

5:25 am

westford

she goes to bed when she's tired

5:25 am

sprite

I understand, lady, how it reaches out to you and influences your feelings. MrP's advice is great. Or light a candle for the people in trouble and ask the light to guide and warm them.

5:25 am

mrpresident

(((hugs herin)))

5:25 am

herinfernallady

I did and I put out a thingy on facebook. Its a full moon and im a snarly B with an Itch

5:26 am

westford

you are a caring person herin and that's a good thing

5:26 am

sprite

full moon just means you are even opener to energies like this. Be nice to yourself, stop hitting yourself, ok?

5:26 am

westford

going for real now group hugs before I leave?

5:26 am

mrpresident

herin is a very thoughtful person! with a big heart...

5:27 am

sprite

tragicstud

i'm sure it has a more technical name than that

7:26 am

montreal13

so the surgeries didn't do the trick jor ??

7:27 am

jorjahgal

it's a sinus cleanser, comes with prepackaged saline mixes you add water and place nozzle to one nostril tilt head pour half in let drain out the other nostril and then reverse

7:27 am

evanonut

ewwwwww....i couldn't do that!

7:27 am

tragicstud

lol- it is extremely good for you though

7:28 am

evanonut

i can't even go under water without holding my nose, now i'm supposed to let it in!

7:28 am

jorjahgal

nope...I still fight them, but the netty pot has done more than the allergy shots 3x a week and all that crap

7:28 am

mrpresident

sniffing warm salt water is excellent!

7:28 am

tragicstud

7:58 am

LoriP

Found it. re 5/12. There are 8 re, FYI

7:59 am

mrpresident

Lickety has cleared all the gutters and got up as many leaves as possible from around the house.

7:59 am

Mom

Yes, high temp and humidity is brutal

8:00 am

crosshair

8:03 am

crosshair

8:06 am

lynxxx

Down here they say decide if you are going to stay or flee, if the latter flee early. Apparently some of the deaths have been people caught on the road in their cars. Staying in a well prepared house is safer

8:07 am

mrpresident

that's right lynxx... preparation is everything

8:08 am

KatieMcG

9:35 am

Aussieme

I know.... Hey Uni !

9:35 am

FMitch

9:36 am

Uniquity

9:38 am

Aussieme

Used bookstores are so cool..... There is always an air of history in them !

9:38 am

Uniquity

The beauty of working in the bookstore is the proofs...and the recommendations...and the books..and the customers. Well, most everything. I actually would like to thank all of the lovely babblers that I know still support independant bookstore (and everything else). I know it is almost all of you, and that is awesome.

9:38 am

KatieMcG

If we are getting into the clueing thing I prefer clues given when asked rather than the random clues, just a personal opinion

9:38 am

crosshair

Temperatures in Victoria topped 43Â°C for a record-breaking third consecutive day on Friday, but dropped from their sizzling peaks to about 30Â°C yesterday.

In Adelaide, at least 35 suspected heat-related deaths were reported after the city sweltered under almost a week of temperatures above 40Â°C, including a maximum of 45.7Â°C on Wednesday.

Homeless people, and those who have homes without fans or air-conditioning, have been offered refuge in an air-conditioned city bus depot.

Atalante

my sister's rather large - she's been on so many steroids for years now - but she used to be skinny as hell before her illness. So evil witch goes up to her, looks down her nose at sister, and says "you'd almost be pretty if you could be bothered to lose weight"
