herinfernallady

Rolin Marysville is gone so has king lake. Eucalptys explode. Poor wildlife too

3:14 am

Andree

it is sprite, when no houses or lives are at risk they often contain them and let them burn back on themselves

3:16 am

Andree

and our brave firefighters working around the clock

3:16 am

lynxxx

5:02 am

lynxxx

and there are some towns they haven't been able to get into to count

5:02 am

mrpresident

eva, that isn't the issue at all

5:03 am

Eva

How did so many people get trapped?

5:03 am

This is the worst Eva. Started on our hottest day ever. We do usually have bush fires each year, and have had 2 very bad ones before

5:04 am

mrpresident

the army has been brought in to help

5:04 am

lynxxx

The winds have been a huge factor, as well as extreme dryness, we have been in drought. People have just been trapped trying to defend their homes or have left their run too late. Some cars trapped on roads with fallen trees

5:05 am

mrpresident

the premier of the Victorian State broke down! how sad that these were set by arsonists

5:05 am

ardilla

*continues doing rain dance and praying fervently*

5:05 am

demi

spot fires have started a lot of blazes and the fire fighters just have not been able to get to all of them

5:06 am

mrpresident

the balls of flame are 70 metres high!! never seen anything like it

5:07 am

mrpresident

worst ever fire disaster

5:07 am

demi

the fires that started last week were lit by an arsonist and i believe someone has been charged over it.. they have not ruled out yesterdays as being started by arsonist.

5:07 am

mrpresident

how sad.... how sad sad sad. :((

5:07 am

lynxxx

5:09 am

ardilla

5:09 am

mrpresident

we have small communities in australia... it is incredibly sad for those that lost all, and their neighbours

5:09 am

Eva

5:12 am

ardilla

5:12 am

mrpresident

the fires swept through the towns with such speed... there was nothing anyone could do

5:12 am

Eva

how horrifying and tragic. And so often they people who set the fires are teenagers who have been abused. Not excusing, just a terrible cycle of pain. Have no idea if that is true in this case.

5:12 am

ardilla

i hope that aussie will have recovered by the time i visit in dec

5:13 am

6:29 am

it's a deal!

6:32 am

littlebit

oh, breakfast is calling...bbl

6:32 am

kje

i wish breakfast was calling me...

6:33 am

Atalante

my breakfast called me and I ate it

6:33 am

littlebit

food calls...i always eat

6:33 am

Frances

My breakfast called me and I sent it away.....never eat it.

6:34 am

kje

i guess i must go call breakfast... maybe it will answer... bbiab

6:34 am

Atalante

I'm being good. I hate breakfast, but I'm trying ever so hard to eat breakfast every day

6:35 am

Frances

My son tells me that I don't eat enough to lose weight. I forget to eat.

6:35 am

Atalante

hence breakfast for me! that way I don't decide I''m hungry about 2pm and start eating crap

6:37 am

Frances

Ata my problem is that I really do forget. I will suddenly think I'm hungry and realise I had nothing at all to eat the previous day.

6:38 am

lilliann

i can't eat breakfast either, but now when i feel hungry in between meals i eat a carrot or a celery stick. i read somewhere that if you eat a carrot 15 minutes before breakfast and lunch and then a celery stick before tea, you won't feel hungry after and it helps with digestion

6:38 am

Atalante

I do too. And then when I decide I'm hungry, I have no proper food around and thus eat rubbish. It's soooo hard trying to eat proper meals each day!

6:39 am

LoriP

Hah, finished the re's!

6:39 am

Atalante

carrot sticks are the best

6:39 am

LoriP

and r's in general. I must be DENSA material! :p

6:39 am

Frances

I generally can't be bothered to cook just for me and end up eating a handful of grapes.

Frances

Was just talking with my son. He has a good friend in Adelaide who is a fireman. Apparently they get flown in to fire areas when needed. Last time he was up in a helecopter dumping water.

6:49 am

7:27 am

jorjahgal

I took a tub bath friday night with that vaseline beads stuff, praying it didn't come off then and went down the drain

7:27 am

jorjahgal

no cats, but a yorkie, she turns her nose up at everything so hope she didn't decide my ring looked tastey

7:28 am

LoriP

Odds are a chair or couch at it jorja.

7:28 am

jorjahgal

that's the thing, I never took it off, but have lost so much weight after all this past year and it was really loose and I knew it, just kept saying I'll get it resized

10:04 am

Judi

Good Sunday, Babblers! Mr. P - was just reading about the wild fires in Aus. Very scarey.

10:04 am

Inge2

Why are people unable to flee in time?

10:04 am

Frances

MM it puts a little square round it - I think that's the one.

10:04 am

mrpresident

isn't it terrible rolin!

10:05 am

movieman

just found it by typing no. 35 into the search box mrp

10:05 am

movieman

mrp......you have a lot of foliage on your roof

10:05 am

mrpresident

inge2, in australia, we are encouranged to stay and fight the embers that fall around our houses... it is part of what we do to protect our homes

10:06 am

mrpresident

10:06 am

mrpresident

10:06 am

Inge2

Very sad.

10:09 am

rolin

theres an animal sanctuary in healesville nearby..by i havent heard anything about that

10:12 am

Inge2

"The fires were driven by hot winds of more than 62 miles per hour, and temperatures that peaked at 117 degrees in Melbourne, making Saturday the cityâ€™s hottest day on record."

10:12 am

Inge2

wow.

10:13 am

rolin

yeah...my son said it was 46.9 near him...

10:13 am

rolin

its officially australias worst natural disaster..

10:16 am

Inge2

How close is it to Melbourne?

10:17 am

mrpresident

sorry, just had to put washing on

10:17 am

Frances

Looking at the map it seems to be getting very close to Melbourne.

10:18 am

Frances

I'm not surprised you can't sleep mrp.

10:18 am

mrpresident

yes, there are many towns that are 'wiped out'... very horrid for many

10:18 am

Judi

Just read the tinyurl. Situation even more horrifying to know that some of the fires are a result of arson.

10:19 am

Frances

If it is proved that arson was in some part to blame and the catch the culprits the least they should with is murder.

10:19 am

rolin

well inge...from the middle of the city it about 70 kms.. 37 miles appeox

10:19 am

mkg

hi all. clue for are 6 please?

10:19 am

Frances

...should be charged with..

10:20 am

mrpresident

hi judi... yes, is very very hard ... I can't express how bad that is. Some people are terribly sick in the head, and murderous

10:20 am

rolin

judi... the majority of all fires are lit by arsonists in aus

10:21 am

mrpresident

we have a fire service called SES... and it is volunteer. That is where the arsonists are.... very sick individuals

10:21 am

movieman

the first re5/10 plz

10:21 am

Frances

Rolin that is truly sick and they should be charged with murder.

10:21 am

rururocks

a gew of us got into quite a discussion as to what should happen to the arsonist

10:22 am

rururocks

few

10:22 am

Judi

Gee, ruru, death by fire sounds fair!

10:22 am

rolin

but how can they find them...not much cctv out in the bush

10:22 am

mrpresident

hi ruru... I have a syllabus for arsonists

10:22 am

Frances

Stand them in a fire pit and see how they like it.

10:22 am

rururocks

that's kinda what I said judi and Babble got upset

10:23 am

rururocks

re-lace your shoes is the first re 5/10

10:23 am

mrpresident

hang them upside down by their toes, and castrate them with nail clippers over hot coals

10:23 am

Frances

very slowly mrp.

10:23 am

movieman

no it's not ruru

10:23 am

rururocks

some people pay for that service mr. p

10:24 am

rururocks

then the other is to re + lubricate your car

10:24 am

Frances

Whatever floats their boats ruru

10:24 am

movieman

ty ruru

10:24 am

rururocks

lol

10:24 am

rolin

mrp... you seem so sweet until put under pressure..and then you become maniacally creative..lol

10:25 am

rururocks

I was saying that when they catch the arsonist that they shoudl burn his house down right in front of him

10:25 am

mrpresident

thanks rolin!!

10:25 am

mkg

anyone have a clue for ar 6 please? thanks.

10:25 am

rolin

youre welcome

10:25 am

Judi

Haven't found that one yet, mkg.

10:25 am

rolin

mkg,.,...think nipple

10:25 am

rururocks

That is the nipple part I think mkg

10:26 am

mrpresident

indeed ruru! personally, I think I could oblige under those circumstances

10:26 am

rururocks

and then herin would throw him in at the last minute

10:27 am

rururocks

we had so many devastating fires our here last year.. I understand the fear

10:27 am

Frances

Lol ruru and mrp I think you would have a long line of volunteers to assist you.

10:27 am

rururocks

Babble got really upset about this discussion though last night.. I wasn't sure why..

10:28 am

mrpresident

babble?? which babble?

10:28 am

rururocks

babble rabble

10:28 am

mrpresident

babbler... babble... babble rabble...

10:28 am

mrpresident

oh really? what upset him?

10:29 am

Frances

Why? Should we sit the culprits down with a cup of tea and say there there, don't do that again.

10:29 am

Frances

I think not.

10:29 am

rururocks

something about what about the arsonists family and them having nothing to do with it. I proposed that my understanding is that many of these losers are loners and weirdos

10:29 am

KatieMcG

evening everyone. Playing Gala Bingo at the same time so will be in and out

10:29 am

Judi

Capital punishment is always a controversial issue. Some believe only God can judge.

10:30 am

rururocks

that was the drift of it alright judi

10:30 am

rururocks

herin was wanting to chop his head off (the arsonist that is)

10:30 am

Frances

Sorry but murderers get locked up and this is mass murder.

10:31 am

mrpresident

the arsonist family?? every murderer has a family and lives next door to someone

10:31 am

mkg

ty. got the ar 6 ! great clue./

10:31 am

Judi

Some one who deliberately sets a fire obviously has no regard for human life. I feel those people should be treated with the same regard.

10:31 am

rururocks

to me that is an easy judgement for me to make

10:32 am

mkg

clue for et 6 pleae?

10:32 am

Judi

Well, I must relinquish the computer to my hubby for a while. See you kids later.

10:32 am

mrpresident

we are hearing alot here about arsonists not 'realising' what they are doing is ultimately murder... I think they know just what they are doing... propelling a bad situation into a critical and deadly place. It gives them a thrill

10:33 am

rururocks

star in french mkg

10:33 am

Frances

mkg et6/18 twinkle twinkle

10:33 am

rururocks

they have to know that they are about to kill people..innocent people and firemen and police officers etc

10:34 am

mrpresident

indeed ruru

10:35 am

rururocks

I said to Babble that all too often they only get slapped on the hand and go to a psychiatric ward for a few years and get released and off free and clear...they should be tried for murder and those charges apply

10:35 am

Frances

How can they not realise? It isn't like having a bonfire in the back garden.

10:35 am

rururocks

I agree

10:35 am

mrpresident

ruru, that applies here.

10:35 am

KatieMcG

With what is happening over there no one can use that excuse

10:35 am

rururocks

we had some deliverately set out here that killed people too

10:36 am

rururocks

a friend of ours lost everything

10:36 am

mrpresident

sad thing is... people fight for what they have, a die for it... arsonists know this and enjoy the game.

10:37 am

Frances

mrp I hope we are not adding to your distress. I know how much you need to sleep.

10:37 am

mrpresident

oh ruru! how awful for your friend

10:37 am

rururocks

Are you safe for now mr. P?

10:39 am

Frances

In cases such as these how do you stand with insurance? Is everything covered or is it deemed an act of God - unless proved to be arson?

10:40 am

rururocks

I think fire insurance directly covers fire damage and isn't considered an act of god...

10:40 am

mrpresident

ah, sleep... yes, that doesn't come easy anymore.
It is 3.40am, but I have slept and am now awake for a while.

10:40 am

mrpresident

we are safe for now ruru

10:40 am

Frances

Just thinking of the bush fire aspect ruru.

10:40 am

rururocks

I believe in the separation of church and state, and also the separation of church and insurance companies

10:41 am

mrpresident

fire is covered in our insurance. property value isn't covered, but house is.

10:41 am

Frances

So mrp you wouldn't get reimbursed for the loss of everything

10:42 am

mrpresident

arson is covered, as long as it doesn't lead back to the insurer

10:42 am

Frances

?

10:42 am

rururocks

I didn't really mean to upset babble, but I do feel strongly about evening out the scales of justice in matters like this

10:42 am

mrpresident

no frances... most people walk away with the value of the home, and set up elsewhere

10:42 am

mrpresident

it is a terrible loss

10:43 am

Frances

A truly terrible loss which made me think of practicalities.

10:43 am

mrpresident

ruru, when did this discussion take place??

10:44 am

rururocks

gee right before the flip I think

10:44 am

mrpresident

ok... might take a peek at the premise

10:45 am

rururocks

I have to make coffee. I hope you stay safe and sound and the wather changes for you

rururocks

10:50 am

rururocks

10:51 am

mrpresident

3:41 pm

LeslieAnn

3:41 pm

Scrabbler

Total body workouts, Doren, wind sprints, weight-lifting, pilates and yoga...that should have you ready for a 6K ski through the woods.

3:41 pm

Dorens

3:42 pm

Doren, go to a really tall building and run up and down the stairs for a few hours.

3:43 pm

Dorens

hahahaha scrabs, i know you are serious, but i don't have the stamina for more than two flights these days (i am pathetic, i know)

3:44 pm

o-o

to 8 --- work and no one does it b****r

3:44 pm

Scrabbler

XC-skiing is really strenuous--a total body work-out. I skied Friday and did just one 2 mile loop.

3:44 pm

Dorens

3:45 pm

LeslieAnn

what is the other 8 besides said to?

3:45 pm

Scrabbler

TY, BR

3:48 pm

Dorens

that is what i intend scrabbs. and ken is nice about not making me feel like a dishrag at my own pace... he could do far more, but is more interested in sticking with me.. so my kids can go on wherever they like, and i don't have to keep up with them. now that phoebe has some little ski's, maybe she can be with me

3:48 pm

LeslieAnn

Dan the puppy noises have alarmed my doggie...he keeps "looking" for the noise.

8:38 pm

suefrad625

Atalante, have you started on any new drugs

8:38 pm

dan2bit

thanks Ata - we have never had this many dogs at once (even though 8 of them together weigh less than our 'permanent' dog)

8:38 pm

Jindigo

Thanks Jellen

8:38 pm

dan2bit

haha red - that happens with our dog too

8:38 pm

Atalante

love Aussie Shepherds

8:39 pm

redturtlehead

have any of the Pups been "adopted" yet (in advance of being ready to leave?)

8:39 pm

suefrad625

81 to go

8:39 pm

Atalante

no ... but I guess it only started after I started taking all my bipolar drugs. it's prolly another side effect now you mention it! joy :P

8:39 pm

suefrad625

do you take Abidify

8:40 pm

Atalante

do you know what sort of dog the father was, dan?

8:40 pm

suefrad625

I just had the worst side affects ever

8:40 pm

redturtlehead

It could definitely be a side effect Ata, I didnt think of meds.

8:40 pm

dan2bit

no adoptions yet - rescueangels.org is the site for applications - we're not sure of the father - a couple of the pups look sort of labradorish

8:40 pm

suefrad625

like my mind was too fact for my body

8:40 pm

Jindigo

AR 5/10 please?

8:40 pm

suefrad625

heebee jeebees

8:40 pm

Atalante

nope, luckily! I didn't either till just now, never even occurred to me

8:41 pm

Atalante

8:41 pm

Jellen

ar + French for summer

8:41 pm

redturtlehead

Well, you are getting a lot of views. As they get a bit larger..I hope they get great homes.

8:41 pm

Atalante

yes ... mind won't stop, skin crawling, la la la la la bounce

8:41 pm

Jindigo

Thanks again Jellen

8:41 pm

redturtlehead

that sounds like side effect Ata.

8:42 pm

Atalante

hmmm actually I took my tabs really late today. Wonder if there's a correlation. Will experiment.

8:42 pm

dan2bit

apparently dogs can be fertilized from a few different fathers in the same heat, but they never have any more pups than they have teats (the amazing things you learn from whelping!)

8:42 pm

dan2bit

red I'm sure we will before early April

8:43 pm

Atalante

some do ... but I think it's rare - some poor dog had 18 puppies recently over here!

8:44 pm

suefrad625

ata, it took me 7 days to get off the abilify

8:44 pm

suefrad625

it was horrible

8:44 pm

dan2bit

wowzers 18

8:45 pm

11:40 pm

Jacula

Am wondering now if my freezing cold feet will elicit just a small squeak from The One In The Bed, or a full on 'You're blody freezing. woman!' removal of nice warm body from bed.

11:41 pm

Jacula

Sometimes, I wonder if these men have read the Handbook. The one that informs them that they are our bodywarmers come what may.

11:41 pm

Jellen

The latter would be unfortunate...

11:42 pm

rururocks

i go with the squeak..

11:42 pm

Hi, ruru!

11:42 pm

speaking as a foot warmer that is..

11:43 pm

Jellen

Congrats, PAV!

11:43 pm

Jacula

Okay, ruru if he goes, then I gwt in with you and you can squeak alll you like.

11:43 pm

Jacula

LOL

11:43 pm

PAV3

and being the independently single person, why don't women just wear socks to bed?

11:43 pm

rururocks

I do more than squeak..lol

11:43 pm

Jellen

Socks just don't work, for some reason...

11:44 pm

rururocks

pav.. come on.. women's feet need warm flesh..

11:44 pm

PAV3

that's what slippers are for...the sheepskin variety

11:45 pm

Jacula

I do wear socks, ruru, but they don't really scream sex siren, do they?

11:45 pm

PAV3

I can understand a nice foot massage (periodic)

11:45 pm

rururocks

no not really

11:46 pm

11:50 pm

flosey

bless you Pav

11:50 pm

PAV3

11:50 pm

Jellen

Yes, PAV...good you could intervene...

11:50 pm

rururocks

and no... that wouldn't be a real man.. that would be a bully and an abuser

11:51 pm
