different suburbs at the moment - I'm at my desk in the office (2nd floor of a 5 story) in a cubicle with about 300 people on this floor

12:59 am

PAV3

srapings..I had a cyst on my lower neck last fall, he said in the old days he would have excised it himself and do4 the biopsy...now everything is handled by labs

1:02 am

jillibus

ruru, kittycat will stay in her comfy home next door and I'll go over there to feed her and let her in and out at her command, of course.

1:03 am

rururocks

be sure to go over often.. she may run away if no one is home much

1:03 am

mrpresident

can you have her in your home jilli?

1:03 am

mrpresident

Cats do love company after all, and they love servants around them

1:03 am

jillibus

and if she wants to follow me to my house, that's fine too. But she will sleep at her place because otherwise (I'm told) she will pester me at 6 am for food

1:04 am

jillibus

and I might kill her

1:04 am

rururocks

I was a human canopener for my cat..

1:04 am

mrpresident

6am! that is a very nice cat!! Ours is about 4.30am!! (little b!yatch)

1:04 am

rururocks

** note to self.. do not make an early breakfast for jilli ***

1:04 am

mrpresident

oh jilli, you are like me... like my sleep-in!

1:05 am

PAV3

nothing serious ruru...I was just telling stid that my hip has been bothering me as well, and my genial doc (DO) tells me I'm getting old...(and to lose weight)..for that I sit and wait in his office for hours on end until my time and then as patients, we're only allowed three ailments per visit...

1:05 am

jillibus

attaboy, ru, lol!

1:05 am

mrpresident

lickety bought me tea at 8am today... didn't touch it till nearly 9.15am

1:05 am

rururocks

1:05 am

rururocks

1:06 am

jillibus

1:07 am

PAV3

I'll be 48 on Patriot's Day this year...aka 9/11

1:07 am

rururocks

actually 80 doesn't sound that old to me anymore..lol

1:09 am

jillibus

I resemble that remark

1:09 am

PAV3

as I mentioned before..he's scheduling a stress test for me before I turn 50...(so I don't pull a MJ, with apologies to family and friends and fans)

1:09 am

mrpresident

something along those lines... I am at that time that I can legally kill him, so self preservation is key to his survival for a couple of days.

1:09 am

rururocks

Stress tests are a good thing pav

1:10 am

rururocks

does it matter what kind of tea he brings?

1:10 am

PAV3

and someone else claimed their own stress test was their MIL...hmmmm was that ruru?

1:10 am

rururocks

lol... busted!!!!!!

1:11 am

mrpresident

nah, tea is tea... but the cup better say loving things on it!

1:11 am

rururocks

I took a stress test and it came out okay... but i realized I had to make some changes in my behaviors

1:11 am

rururocks

"like : "Hunney bunny?"

1:12 am

PAV3

my mind has not yet gone (completely) so, no, I'm not as bad off as I seem...and I have been adjusting my diet to eat better...fruits and veggies, and in moderation more proteins and less red meat...

1:12 am

rururocks

more walking... more tennis.. less food.. more sex

1:12 am

rururocks

you are on the right path pav..

1:13 am

rururocks

stay away from the starches...

1:13 am

rururocks

I am on the hagen-daz free diet

1:13 am

mrpresident

like: I go from lovely to bitch in .02 of a second.

1:13 am

rururocks

whoa!

1:13 am

dart001

reverse that or5 ruru otherwise might be too ti5

1:14 am

PAV3

but I LLLLOOOOOVVVVVEEEE my potatoes...or as Mr Qwayle spells...potatos

1:14 am

PAV3

hagen-daz has fat free ice cream?

1:15 am

mrpresident

PAV, put the potato down, back away from the potato....

1:15 am

rururocks

(yeah.. come on mr. Pav.. just give me the potato)

1:15 am

mrpresident

it is easy when you play with colours... don't eat anything white.

1:16 am

rururocks

re 8 yippee

1:16 am

mrpresident

and no cheating with dying things blue or red

1:16 am

PAV3

well there aren't any in my realm at this moment...I'm a "meat and potatoes" guy, minus the meat...

1:16 am

rbud

I like to steam all my veggies, yum! was a vegetarian in the 70s - 80's, that part stuck.

1:16 am

mrpresident

hi rbud :P)

1:16 am

PAV3

there goes the goat cheese and the mozzarella, the feta

1:17 am

rbud

hi, mrp!

1:17 am

rururocks

IN moderation pav..

1:17 am

mrpresident

yep, all the whites are out and you will lose weight!
Also, nothing deep fried

1:17 am

rururocks

you don't have to throw in the towell on everything

1:17 am

rbud

then one day I had a serious craving for a burger...was sick for days, lol!

1:17 am

mrpresident

ruru, you wouldn't know what moderation was !! ;)

1:18 am

PAV3

I do eat oatmeal...yummm!

1:18 am

rururocks

ya know mr. p.. I think you may be right.

1:18 am

mrpresident

oatmeal with fat free soy milk and honey, perfect!

1:18 am

rbud

oh, I love oatmeal, too, but I fear I doctor it up a bit too much! :(

1:19 am

PAV3

how does one dr up oatmeal...me and the poopies eat it plain...that way I'm not killing them...

1:19 am

rururocks

oatmeal and tequilla

1:19 am

rururocks

lol

1:20 am

mrpresident

you can add fruit, kahlua, burbon.... or do a ruuster and put more white crap on it

1:20 am

rbud

butter and cinnamon, maple syrup or honey, raisins...not all at the same time, though

1:20 am

PAV3

scratch that tequilla...who cleans up after you?...I've only cleaned up once after a "friend" in college took too much tequilla

1:21 am

mrpresident

this 'friend'... must have had benefits if you cleaned up!

1:21 am

rururocks

I can't drink tequilla anymore... anyways

1:22 am

mrpresident

Southern Comfort and Bacardi are my nemesis

1:22 am

rbud

tekillya, bad! (unless it's tequila rose, yum!)

1:22 am

rururocks

I saw Jesus last time I drank tequilla...

1:23 am

mrpresident

I discovered Ballimore... oh dear

1:23 am

rururocks

my friends found me naked in a shower crying for jesus...lol

1:23 am

PAV3

I didn't like messy rooms, and he latched on4 me more than I him, after that I didn't go to his room (in the dorms)...I also banished a floor -mate from visiting me after he wouldn't quit spittin' in my sink....

1:23 am

mrpresident

LOL ruru!!

1:23 am

rbud

ewwww, PAV, I would, too

1:23 am

rururocks

I gave up hard liquor after that...

1:24 am

mrpresident

spitting! ewwwww! what a pig!

1:24 am

PAV3

ruru, there're lots of "jesus's" in Mexico you'll see after drinking tequilla...

1:24 am

rururocks

that's where i was...

1:24 am

mrpresident

I hate it when people spit full stop! is so bloody gross!

1:24 am

rururocks

I think it was fairly pure ethanol ..

1:26 am

PAV3

unfortunately, that floormate passed away a few years ago, presumably from cancer...he was a very nice guy with a bad habit (IMO) and it killed him to have disappointed me so...we were friends still, but he carried his own spittoon....

1:27 am

rururocks

did he chew tobacco or something?

1:27 am

mrpresident

darn these babbleburps! I tried these words already and got redcarded

1:27 am

rururocks

that is a lot of saliva

1:27 am

PAV3

yes....wacky tobaccy

1:27 am

rururocks

thought so.

1:28 am

mrpresident

so I try them again and get greencarded! grrrr

1:28 am

rururocks

that is one disgusting habit

1:28 am

PAV3

probs mrp?

1:29 am

mrpresident

pav, I put in valid words and get rejected, try again and get accepted... is annoying when babbleburps happen

1:29 am

mrpresident

wacky tobaccy is what has driven my brother to part ways with me.

1:29 am

jillibus

betcha misspelt or something, mrp

1:30 am

PAV3

so he's a chewer?

1:31 am

mrpresident

1:48 am

PAV3

I shall..thanks Sprite!

1:50 am

sprite

lol jilli, the dutch word for napkins is in the grid, singl and plural. Luier and luiers.

1:51 am

jillibus

I keep expecting Dutch to be more similar to English than it is

1:54 am

sprite

I think it is the diphtones (sp?) that make the biggest difference. We have many that you don't have, like ui and eu and ij and ei. But some that english has, we don't have in dutch, like oa and ao.

1:54 am

jillibus

dipthongs

1:54 am

sprite

thanks!

1:55 am

jillibus

or is it diphthongs?

1:55 am

sprite

lol! I don't know, will check now.

1:55 am

flosey

diphthongs jilli

1:56 am

sprite

the last one, jilli. ANd it is a verb too:
to diphthongize!

Hi flosey

1:56 am

jillibus

yes, just checked diph...

1:56 am

flosey

hi sprite

1:56 am

jillibus

I dislike ize verbs

1:56 am

sprite

I keep spelling them -ise

1:57 am

jillibus

I do too, sprite -- it's Brit

1:58 am

sprite

ah then that is good, because I do my utter best to keep my english british. Even though I read more american, both here in chat and in books.

1:59 am

jillibus

utmost best, I think, and good for you :)

1:59 am

sprite

:) and thanks!

2:02 am

2:02 am

back with Friday icon clue...

2:02 am

sprite

woot rbud!

2:03 am

sprite

oh I LOVE it!

2:03 am

jillibus

but this isn't the Friday grid, is it?

2:04 am

sprite

yes jilli, it is

2:04 am

sprite

but you still need to sleep, I think, while we have started our new day already in europ

2:04 am

sprite

* + e

2:05 am

rbud

it's Friday now, I thought I usually change to the upcoming one.

2:05 am

jillibus

I thought it was and then I thought it wasn't when people posted more windmills

2:06 am

jillibus

any, rbud, love your clue :D

2:06 am

sprite

am still trying to decide upon a clue, but will do so soon

2:08 am

jillibus

gawd, look at all those re words

2:09 am

sprite

seriously? Da4, just when I thought these re prefixes couldn't be very productive.

2:10 am

jillibus

44 of them, unless I lost count

2:10 am

rbud

oh, dear, and I only have 14 so far! :(

2:10 am

jillibus

most of them 6, 7 and 8 letters, ugh

2:11 am

sprite

*readjusts brain*

2:11 am

sprite

14 here as well, rbud!

2:11 am

hydra

Hi there. Shocked about the Michael Jackson news.

2:12 am

jillibus

I have 4 re words, lol

2:12 am

sprite

hi hydra, what is the news?

2:13 am

rbud

I am shocked but can't say I'm surprised

2:13 am

jillibus

we've been hearing about it all afternoon and evening here of course

2:13 am

hydra

Michael Jackson died, sprite.

2:13 am

jillibus

oh sprite, he died today of cardiac arrest -- very sudden

2:13 am

sprite

may he finally find some peace

2:14 am

hydra

I only just got up and put on the radio. Yes, I'm with you on that, sprite.

2:14 am

jillibus

the perfect thing to say, sprite

2:15 am

rbud

poor fellow took a lot of unsafe liberties with his body

2:15 am

rbud

he was so cute back in the day

2:17 am

rbud

...and many of his songs still bring a tear to my eye, the singing's so pure. So much talent.

2:17 am

hydra

He's written some amazing songs. The sort that link in with things you were doing when they came out. Billie Jean, Thriller, etc. Such an enigma, though. Misguided genius, I think.

2:17 am

sprite

i agree fully

2:18 am

forwardbyfaith

farah fawcett died today too

2:18 am

sprite

very bad start in life, no self esteem.

2:18 am

sprite

that is sad too, faith :(

2:18 am

jillibus

poor farrah suffered so long

2:20 am

sprite

so young to die, but when she was suffering, it might be a release for her

2:20 am

flosey

was trying to finish but must get to bed, goodnight all

2:21 am

sprite

night flosey, sleep well

2:21 am

rbud

2:21 am

flosey

btw, super clue rbud

2:21 am

jillibus

2:21 am

flosey

2:22 am

rbud

ty! :)

2:22 am

flosey

lol, missed it jilli, but hopefully tomorrow

2:23 am

jillibus

I though he was due tomorrow

2:23 am

flosey

today was due date

2:23 am

sprite

hm, farout is not one word

2:23 am

sprite

and that one was. *crawls off to PB*

2:24 am

jillibus

oh well, maybe you can call him "the late Mr X" right away, lol

2:25 am

jillibus

2:25 am

sprite

right now I'd be willing to beg for pancakes, jilli. Am not pregnant but do have cravings!

2:25 am

I have given up on TV

2:45 am

2:53 am

hi Ata nice. 107 left and 3 8s found here, but almost ready to take a break.

2:54 am

herinfernallady

Atttttaaaaaa monster

2:54 am

Atalante

me too, gotta walk the mutt :)

2:54 am

Atalante

she's pacing!

2:54 am

Haz1558

But what happened with the trim last night?

2:55 am

Atalante

do you know what? she actually looks really good!

2:55 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

2:55 am

herinfernallady

Hi Haz

2:55 am

sprite

morning Haz

2:55 am

Haz1558

Seriously? In spite of all our fears?

2:55 am

Atalante

not professional level LOL, and one tiny patch of overshaving, but apart from that, she certainly looks respectable

2:56 am

Atalante

seriously! I was amazed. I'll take a pic today. I did her ears and paws which helped

2:56 am

Haz1558

Well, that's a re6/27 all round.

2:56 am

herinfernallady

mumbles about RE words

2:56 am

Atalante

it did involve a lot of "don't you DARE shave her"s yelled loudly LOL

2:56 am

Haz1558

Ears need special attention. Husband once took to Spangle with the shears and she looked ridiculous.

2:57 am

herinfernallady

awwwwwww is the puppy getting more clipped?

2:57 am

Atalante

I still need to tidy her ears a little bit, but it got to the point where she had had Enough

2:57 am

Haz1558

I'm so glad she's okay. It was a worry!

2:57 am

Atalante

yep, she got clipped. it's soooo hot here

2:58 am

herinfernallady

o

2:58 am

Atalante

it was a big worry!

2:58 am

herinfernallady

as long as she didn't look like a shaved
sheep like last time.

2:58 am

herinfernallady

as long as she didn't look like a shaved heep like last time.

2:58 am

Atalante

lmao no she doesn't. wooooot!

2:59 am

herinfernallady

good. Last time im like awwww poor baby

2:59 am

sprite

it is hot here too. Should Terra be trimmed?

2:59 am

herinfernallady

awww Terra

2:59 am

Atalante

but she was getting soooooo hot when we were running around, it needed to be done

3:00 am

Haz1558

sprite, she's probably too young, and I don't know that Cavaliers get trimmed in the same way.

3:00 am

Atalante

I don't know! do you trim puppies that young? *has no idea*

3:00 am

Haz1558

He. Terra is a he.

3:00 am

sprite

ah good, Terra is just shedding his puppy fur and looks like a tiny camel.

3:00 am

Atalante

awwwwww!

3:01 am

herinfernallady

awwww

3:01 am

sprite

I actually gave him a little piece of ice yesterday, to cool off. He licked it off my hand and it helped lots.

3:01 am

Haz1558

I don't think they end up with such a heavy coat as springers do, so they maybe don't need shearing.

3:01 am

Atalante

I think Cavaliers generally have their fur kept longer, but for Hobbit it's more practicality vs style as she gets soooo hot running around madly

3:01 am

herinfernallady

back in a mo someone wants the new tv in the house.

3:02 am

Atalante

very cheap ice pops / ice lollies work wonders, sprite. just teh really cheap one with water and food colouring in!

3:02 am

sprite

it is my breaktime. Back later.

3:02 am

Haz1558

Bye sprite.

3:03 am

sprite

Ata, I gave him an ice cube, only water, no sugar and such. But will remember, thanks!

3:04 am

Atalante

I suppose I should go and walk the shorn one. For once, I really don't feel it. But hey ....

3:04 am

Haz1558

You'd better go before someone spots that you should be in the PB.

3:04 am

Atalante

ooo what did I say? *looks*

3:05 am

Atalante

ohhh. boring. why can't I say big wo4s!

3:05 am

Haz1558

fe4.

3:05 am

jillibus

Cavaliers do not need shearing and their coats are left as natural as possible. Their paws may be trimmed a bit. See google on grooming

3:05 am

Haz1558

I know. Hardly worth paying a penalty for something like that.

3:05 am

Atalante

you can spread the news of Hobbit's remaining beauty to FM and Lori if they turn up! I will bring back some photos for proof!

3:06 am

Haz1558

Thank you. It's not that we're disbelieving but it's nice to see for ourselves.

3:06 am

Atalante

*poof*! (lol I'd disbelieve too!)

3:13 am

the smart thing was ringing up the 'big boys' on the committee and telling them to back off... these men are between 53-65 and think they are so all that!
I told them to back up and respect my authority! That was tough! But they agreed to 'your wish is my command'

3:33 am

mrpresident

and guess what?

They still love me! How precious!

3:33 am

mrpresident

love the riff, the political innuendo, the moves, the love...
he was a star, regardless of his weirdness

4:16 am

mrpresident

he feels everything, which was his downfall with children... he became the fanfare... he became the physical embodiment of the children. Poor bastard

6:26 am

carleekat

I am so busy i would LOVE to get the flu right now..JUST so I could have 2-3 days on a sofa

6:27 am

Haz1558

I've only ever had flu once in my life and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. At one point I thought death would be a merciful release...

6:28 am

carleekat

i NEED 2-3 days on a sofa....

6:28 am

herinfernallady

You really don['t want it. I woke up at 4am screaming and being delusional thinking someone was watching me sleep with spiders crawling towards me. its not fun

6:28 am

Haz1558

I never realised that when people talk about 'aches and pains' it's with the emphasis on PAIN.

6:29 am

carleekat

work is so FREAKING ridiculous and M-in-L won't hire anyone new... and since she can't do anything in the back with the wine....I have to work....extra..and lo nger....and did I mention i JUST got paid for my hours in march

6:29 am

carleekat

pain is what they make Extra strength tylenol...mix some neocitron in the mix...merciful sleep

6:30 am

herinfernallady

I can't take a lot of over the counter stuff

6:33 am

Uniquity

*Thinks this would be an appropriate time for the story where I had strep throat and hallucinated for days in my fever in May one year. It's my only good illness story, otherwise I generally buck up. Still deciding if another half hour snooze is needed this morning, but this is a biiiiig grid...

6:34 am

carleekat

i've had my share of "flu's"

6:34 am

herinfernallady

erk Uni. I wouldn't ahve minded hallucinations if they were friendly

6:34 am

carleekat

i KNOW what I am wishing for... i NEED 3 days on a sofa

6:34 am

Atalante

*flop*

6:35 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Uni. It is a big grid and somebody mentioned something like 49 re words. It could just be an ugly rumour.

6:35 am

Haz1558

Hello Ata!

6:35 am

Uniquity

These were not friendly hallucinations. Generally realistic though, so I believed them all the more. The migraine was a nice accompaniment.

6:35 am

Uniquity

Ata! I hear Hobbit is still beautiful!

6:35 am

Atalante

she is!

6:35 am

herinfernallady

Hi Ata how was wonder beast?

6:36 am

Uniquity

I'm so glad for her. She needs to be the prettiest girl walking by pink poodles.

6:37 am

herinfernallady

Is there any new Hobbit pics?

6:37 am

Atalante

there will be in 10 minutes!!

6:38 am

herinfernallady

Ata what sort of dead thing is that THing?

6:38 am

Atalante

a rabbit, I *think*

6:39 am

Atalante

WHY is Max Clifford commenting on Michael Jackson??

6:39 am

herinfernallady

I would say its a sheep

6:39 am

Haz1558

Because he works for Rent A Comment.

6:40 am

Atalante

he's even more annoying than Simon Cowell

6:40 am

Haz1558

But marginally less annoying than Michael Winner.

6:40 am

Atalante

yes. But only marginally

6:41 am

Haz1558

If he brings out a diet book, it'll be neck and neck.

6:41 am

Atalante

that would be truly awful

6:42 am

carleekat

6:48 am

carleekat

Farah was expected..and is actually probably more of a blessing she is out of pain

6:48 am

Scrabbler

True, Carlee

6:48 am

carleekat

and she had alot of coverage leading up not that that makes up for it...MJ is just a shock

6:49 am

herinfernallady

I have been ignoring mainstream tv in general

6:49 am

Haz1558

pe8/50 - plural word, begin with a writing instrument, add a consonant then a type of poem - it ends up sounding like a frog-like creature, wrong spelling.

6:49 am

carleekat

farah was on charlies angels for 1 season only

6:49 am

hi TO!

9:05 am

mrpresident

There was a huge deal made before he died... lots of his 'property' was moved over to another company, controlled by a 'manager' who wanted to help him, however... he was half a billion in debt, so he was worth more dead than alive in the end.
So so sad for his family though... people make a lot of money from legends.

9:06 am

72 Temple Owl

12:07 pm

caitlyn

You are doing really well Ata

12:08 pm

12:12 pm

Atalante

1:48 pm

Atalante

oh good. cos marty needs to know he's the most important marty smarty cat ever!

1:48 pm

hurshy

he's never a big fan of the whole me-not-being-home-with-him-24-7-365 phenomenon, but...

1:49 pm

hurshy

i think he has a very healthy sense of his own importance. i mean, he is a cat.

1:49 pm

Atalante

true

1:50 pm

weird de6 rhymes with a kind of flat bean.

clue for de 6/21

2:05 pm

joshuavorbis

i'm glad i was around for some of the longer ones to get clued. i don't know if i could have done it without the list if there hadn't been so many clues this morning

2:05 pm

hurshy

that's the weird one that i was telling ata about, that rhymes with a round, flat bean.

2:06 pm

kje

woohoo joshua

2:06 pm

Atalante

oh, I get it. are they beans? I didn't know that

2:07 pm

kje

round flat pea - ru was cooking it last night

2:07 pm

hurshy

oh, maybe they are peas

2:07 pm

hurshy

are peas a subset of beans or separate?

2:07 pm

kje

no idea

2:07 pm

Atalante

separate!

2:08 pm

hurshy

wiki time to learn what le****s are

2:08 pm

kje

i just said pea to imply the size... round flat bean makes me think of limas - eeeeewwww

2:09 pm

kje

both beans and peas are legumes

2:09 pm

kje

according to wiki

2:09 pm

hurshy

and le****s are apparently a whole other kind of legume, neither a bean nor a pea.

2:09 pm

Haz1558

Do they not come under the heading of pulses?

2:10 pm

Atalante

haz always knows

2:10 pm

hurshy

Culturally, other pulses are sometimes called lentils but are actually beans or peas, e.g. "black lentils" (urad beans)

2:10 pm

Haz1558

I don't know for sure, just throwing in a question to add to the doubt.

2:10 pm

hurshy

so yes, it is a pulse.

2:11 pm

hurshy

which i always thought was something you felt in your wrist or neck...

2:12 pm

kje

pulse and legumes are the same, no?

2:12 pm

kje

I thought they were interchangeable

2:12 pm

Haz1558

There's that as well. 'Pulses make your heart race'

2:12 pm

kje

no... your heart racing makes thepulse - LOL

2:12 pm

Atalante

some legumes aren't pulses

2:12 pm

hurshy

The term "pulse", as used by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), is reserved for crops harvested solely for the dry grain. This excludes green beans and green peas, which are considered vegetable crops. Also excluded are crops that are mainly grown for oil extraction (oilseeds like soybeans and peanuts), and crops which are used exclusively for sowing (clovers, alfalfa). Pulses are important food crops due to their high protein and essential amino acid content. Like many leguminous crops, pulses play a key role in crop rotation due to their ability to fix nitrogen.

2:13 pm

Haz1558

Should I suggest that as a slogan for the Pulse Marketing Board?

2:13 pm

Atalante

legumes include things like clover as well as the obvious ones

2:13 pm

Atalante

carob too

2:13 pm

kje

heart racing is not a good thing... how about pulses make your heart beat

2:14 pm

hurshy

but that could be taken to imply that your heart isn't already beating.

2:14 pm

Haz1558

Yes, that sounds better. 'Pulses make your heart beat in a satisfyingly steady rhythmn'

2:14 pm

hurshy

lol

2:14 pm

Atalante

kje - what is the official difference between unconciousness and a coma?

2:14 pm

kje

pulses make your heart happy?

2:15 pm

Haz1558

I'm telling you, we have a career in marketing if we want it.

2:15 pm

hurshy

Got Pulse?

2:15 pm

kje

levels - coma is deeper

2:15 pm

kje

why do you ask?

2:15 pm

kje

are you contemplating comas?

2:16 pm

Atalante

but how would you tell if you just found an unconcious body?

2:16 pm

kje

you'd have to examine it

2:16 pm

beachboggle

Hi everyone! How is our grid, today?

2:17 pm

Haz1558

I'm starting to worry. First FM needed to know how to get rid of bloodstains, now Ata has a body to examine.

2:17 pm

kje

there are levels depending on responses to stimuli

2:17 pm

kje

grid isn't too bad

2:17 pm

Haz1558

Hello beach, it's a fun grid.

2:17 pm

kje

LOLOL haz!!!

2:17 pm

kje

OH NO!!!!

2:17 pm

Atalante

I ask cos yesterday with *whispers* Michael Jackson, there was a news report saying he'd been brought into hospital already in a coma. And I thought that was unusual to be diagnosed in transit

2:17 pm

Haz1558

PHone

2:18 pm

kje

no, common... in the US we use the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and the levels are given numbers

2:18 pm

Atalante

ah ok. here we seem to get "blah blah brought in unconscious" and later "blah blah now in a coma"

2:19 pm

hurshy

maybe they could tell at the hospital anyway based on what level he was in that he must have been in a coma for awhile or something

2:19 pm

kje

although, I will say that it is unlikely the EMS said he is in a coma, I am sure that was the interpretation of the media to choose the word

2:19 pm

Atalante

that was my thought, kje. it just sounded weird

2:20 pm

Atalante

and with Babble I get to ask all these random questions!

2:20 pm

kje

I would say unconscious, unresponsive, and coma are used somewhat interchangeably, but coma implies a deeper level, and usually is not what we first say... in the vernacular, it implies a less transient state

2:20 pm

kje

like... you wouldn't say, he passed out and was in a coma for 30 seconds... but would say, he passed out and was unconscious for 30 seconds - has to do with how deep (meaning do they respond to anything)

2:21 pm

hurshy

lotsa people (not necessarily any newspeople, but just regular people) were saying "heart attack" too even though it was not, because they hear cardiac arrest and that is what they think it means.

2:21 pm

Haz1558

There's usually someone qualified to give an answer, so it's as good a place as any to ask questions.

2:21 pm

Boobear

clue for de 6/21 please

2:22 pm

Atalante

yes ... it just seemed a strange assertion to make from the start. unconscious would seem more normal. but you're right, I bet someone mentioned the word coma and the media clung at it

2:22 pm

kje

LOL boo - we just had a HUGE conversation about it

2:22 pm

Boobear

I missed it

2:22 pm

Haz1558

de6/21 - run together an animal lair with the first letters of what you use to cover a bathroom wall or floor (think ceramic)

2:23 pm

kje

nice icon clue haz - very abstract art almost

2:23 pm

Haz1558

I thought it was fun - from google images.

kje

OK, must run - see you later

2:27 pm

kje

or earlier as the case may be

2:27 pm

Haz1558

It's like when you lose a tooth as a child and you can't help exploring the gap with your tongue. It's unpleasant but you can't help it. I keep looking at the icon and feeling queasy!

2:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am deciding whether or not to catch a matinee

2:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

the movie "sugar" but it's seeeming unlikely as i am esconced here

2:30 pm

wildcat17

then he was right - his skills did improve! so what did he use for practice I wonder??

2:30 pm

Haz1558

Looking up 'Sugar'

2:30 pm

Atalante

I dread to think

2:30 pm

wildcat17

go check the kids

2:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

ensconced. but you knew that...

2:31 pm

wildcat17

erie

2:32 pm

Haz1558

Can you go to an evening show if you don't make the matinee?

2:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

i could but i am too cheap to do so

2:34 pm

Haz1558

That's as good a reason as any.

2:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

not sure if i am in the mood for subtitiles

2:36 pm

torgone

pluot not found ..

2:36 pm

Atalante

subtitles can be hard work

2:37 pm

torgone

subtleties too ..

2:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

well my spanish is not good enough for a sports movie

2:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

or more precisely a parable for life using sports

2:39 pm

Atalante

sounds interesting

2:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

we have many moveis showing the athlete realizing his dreams or beyond his dreams. this one is about what happens when reality does not aloow that

2:42 pm

Boobear

clue for fa 5 please

2:42 pm

Atalante

wow. films showing that need to be shown.

2:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

does anyone have to6-7-8 yet?

2:43 pm

Haz1558

fa5 - as pronounced on Salman Rushdie

2:43 pm

Boobear

whose Salman Rushie

2:43 pm

Haz1558

to6 - to plus most of what begins with f and describes things like water, or drinks of any description.

2:44 pm

Atalante

I got that set of wo4s without clues this morning *smug*

2:45 pm

Haz1558

Salman Rushdie annoyed people with his writing. The word is three letters for not thin and first letters of Mr Cronkite.

2:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

also how hard it is to go to a land where you do not know the culture or language

2:45 pm

Boobear

2:50 pm

Haz1558

Have you been able to see what they were getting done?

2:51 pm

Haz1558

Not that we're nosy or anything. Just interested.

2:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

no. i live in a lcuster house, so neighbors are always a concern

2:52 pm

jillibus

36 to go, so I'm going for lunch and some errands and then a visit with the nieghbours' cat. I'm to look after her while they're away for two months.

2:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:53 pm

Haz1558

You'll enjoy having a cat to pamper, jillibus.

2:53 pm

jillibus

I just hope she'll enjoy me!

Atalante

how lovely, jilli!

2:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is exactly what i need... a job cat sitting

2:54 pm

Haz1558

She'd be a very foolish cat if she didn't.

2:54 pm

jillibus

ata, Hobbit does look all neat and tidy :)

2:55 pm

Haz1558

There are bound to be millionaires with fabulous mansions who just need someone to house and cat sit.

2:55 pm

Atalante

she does! I'm still very impressed. There are a few bits that need tidying up, but I can do that tomorrow

2:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

Vastly stupid, Ata, we've always thought so but didn't like to say.

3:13 pm

Atalante

can I be smug and stupid??

3:13 pm

Haz1558

Bound to be a possibility. Look at politicians.

3:13 pm

Soodle

Onto 3 mgs of valium, and 2/3rds way down the brandy bottle. Downed 4 bottles of rescue remedy. Climbing the walls now!!

3:14 pm

Atalante

3:14 pm

Atalante

3:14 pm

Haz1558

Have you tried some Baileys, Soodle?

3:14 pm

Haz1558

My point exactly, Ata.

3:14 pm

Soodle

Gone - went with the brandy!!!

3:14 pm

Haz1558

Not that you're anything like Michael Winner.

3:15 pm

Atalante

BTW - I can highly recommend brandy and Baileys. Over crushed ice. Heaven!!

hydra

3:18 pm

Atalante

3:18 pm

Haz1558

I remember the Lone Ranger.

3:18 pm

lynxxx

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

hydra, it's been ages

3:19 pm

Wolvie

3:19 pm

Silverback

3:19 pm

Haz1558

Hello hydra.

3:19 pm

Haz1558

Bye Wolvie.

3:19 pm

Soodle

Theres a hole in the wall from where I've been banging my head

3:19 pm

lynxxx

hi Hydra

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

time to go snoop under guise of getting mail

3:20 pm

Haz1558

That's my girl.

3:20 pm

hydra

Hiya Haz, and Temple, Lynxxx, Ata...everyone. I have been popping in every day, but usually early in the morning. Hope you're all well.

3:20 pm

hydra

Soodle, here's some Polyfilla!

3:20 pm

Atalante

have you seen Lyn's pic, Haz?

3:20 pm

Silverback

hi hydra

3:20 pm

Haz1558

I'm fine - Flad still doing okay?

3:20 pm

hydra

Hello Silver

3:21 pm

Soodle

I think I need a JCB. Knock it all down, and start again

3:21 pm

hydra

Flad is fine. His broken tooth doesn't seem to bother him.

3:21 pm

Haz1558

I have, Ata. We have some moody black and white shots of Spangle but she looks sad in them.

3:21 pm

Haz1558

Good for Flad - tough as old boots.

3:22 pm

hydra

Silverback, I'm into birdwatching too. I live near heathrow but e have everything from a resident sparrowhawk to parakeets.

3:22 pm

Atalante

told you, you need to take more pics

3:22 pm

Haz1558

I'm married to a wannabe twitcher...

3:23 pm

hydra

Forget the wannabe, I think they're born to it, like my sister who, at 15, was off to the Mersey mudflats with her binoculars and Observer book of birds.

3:24 pm

Silverback

I took it up when my rugby career was over through injury and just needed something extra when out walking.

3:24 pm

Haz1558

You're maybe right - he and his sister are both into it and chat for ages about what they claim to have seen.

3:24 pm

hydra

It's very rewarding. I keep a little wildlife blog. It's on www.hillingdonwildlife.blogspot.com

3:25 pm

Soodle

For those babblers who don't know where Silver lives - its the Irish Lake District. the most understated county in Ireland, and perhaps the most beautiful

3:25 pm

Atalante

what do you call a seaweed spotter?

3:25 pm

Haz1558

I began to see the point when we were on holiday in Kenya, the birds were incredible.

3:26 pm

Haz1558

I don't know, what do you call a seaweed spotter?

3:26 pm

Silverback

I ahve recorded about 40 species of bird around our property and keep logs for BWI

3:26 pm

Soodle

what part of Kenya did you visit Haz?

3:26 pm

Atalante

no idea! there must be a clever name though

3:27 pm

hydra

There must be a pun on samphire and vampire thete, Ata.

3:27 pm

Haz1558

We were in Lake Naivasha and then Masai Mara.

3:27 pm

Silverback

Thx soodle some great scenery here but a bit smelly at the moment

3:27 pm

Atalante

ooo yes!

3:27 pm

hydra

must dash or partner will be even grumpier than usual.

3:27 pm

Soodle

We spent a week in the Masai Mara couple of years ago. Utterly incredible.

3:27 pm

Haz1558

See you hydra.

3:28 pm

lynxxx

bye Hydra

3:28 pm

Silverback

bye hydra

3:28 pm

Silverback

soodle that must have been a great trip

3:28 pm

Haz1558

That's interesting, Soodle. We went to celebrate husband's 50th birthday - it had always been his ambition to go on safari. I went along with a bit of trepidation but loved it.

3:30 pm

Soodle

We brought our 3 kids, the youngest was only 6. I was in the horrors - Really did not want to go, but it turned out to be the holiday of a lifetime.

3:30 pm

Alleyn58

Botswana rocks

3:30 pm

Haz1558

I want to go to Botswana, Alleyn. We were in Tanzania last year and I'll happily go back to Africa again.

3:31 pm

Soodle

We went for 3 weeks - a week in Mombassa, a week on safari, and another week in Mombassa. Truly amazing

3:31 pm

Alleyn58

Particularly enjoy no jet lag

3:32 pm

Haz1558

I just didn't expect the level of service etc and the attention to detail. The safari tour guides make it special.

3:32 pm

Silverback

Anyway whats with the pipes Soodle ?

3:32 pm

Soodle

Throwback to last week.... I don't know how to change my pic!!

3:33 pm

Alleyn58

It was so amazing outshone everything else

3:33 pm

Soodle

Its incredible. I was 21 before I stepped on a plane. By the time my kids were 10, they had visited 4 continents!

3:34 pm

Alleyn58

Taking eldest grand daughter to Rome next year

3:34 pm

Haz1558

So, where have they not been?

3:34 pm

Silverback

Soodle there is an American Babbler, Trifioso whose got relatives in Drung in Cavan.

3:35 pm

Soodle

I know - I came across her a couple of weeks ago. What a small world.

3:37 pm

Silverback

Soodle changing you picture is quite easy I wish i was nearer to show you.

3:37 pm

Soodle

Haven't been to Oz yet. Unlikely now that their Mam will bring them, but as I keep telling them -the world is their mussel, oops - oyster!!

3:38 pm

Haz1558

They'll likely take themselves off to the Antipodes.

3:40 pm

Soodle

No doubt, Haz. Maybe they will take their aged parent over for a holiday!!

3:40 pm

Haz1558

How's the word count coming, Soodle?

3:40 pm

Atalante

I wish I could stop seeing petiole

3:41 pm

Soodle

err.........still 17. I am being distracted!!!!

3:42 pm

Haz1558

You're just getting a fresh perspective on the grid.

3:42 pm

Haz1558

Some babblers at flip time (judging from reading back in the log) are able to find words, chat and knit an aran sweater all at the same time.

3:43 pm

Atalante

blindfold

3:43 pm

Haz1558

Exactly.

3:43 pm

torgone

Whilst walking the dog ..

3:44 pm

Vicuna

And giving everyone else lots of advice!

3:44 pm

Haz1558

AND tell everyone about the 13 letter words they've spotted straight away.

3:44 pm

Haz1558

But we are not bitter. No indeed.

3:44 pm

Atalante

and the 5 letter, 6 letter, 7 letter ....

3:44 pm

Haz1558

Hello torgone and Vicuna!

3:45 pm

Atalante

3:45 pm

3:45 pm

wildcat17

i'll take congratulations in any form vic

3:45 pm

Haz1558

Paying? You should be giving them the rounds of the kitchen for suggesting such a thing.

3:46 pm

wildcat17

offer to trade them a meal for their valuable time

3:46 pm

Vicuna

Ataaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

3:46 pm

Soodle

Story of my life haz - just call me ATM

3:46 pm

lynxxx

congrats Wild

3:46 pm

Vicuna

Make them at least find you some words while they're at it.

3:46 pm

Haz1558

Well, make sure they write down instructions so that this is a one time only thing.

3:46 pm

wildcat17

tyty hagd e1

3:46 pm

Soodle

The philistines are more interested in watching old Michael Jackson videos on TV, vic

3:47 pm

Haz1558

Besides, there are all sorts of technical whizzes here who would talk you through the process.

3:47 pm

Soodle

Can ye see my new icon, anyway? I hope so, cos it cost me â‚¬2.00

3:47 pm

Atalante

grrrr got the list. at least half that I've added, I already added earlier

3:47 pm

Haz1558

Yes! Baileys!

3:48 pm

Haz1558

It's annoying when that happens, Ata.

3:48 pm

Atalante

yum! I love Baileys

3:48 pm

Vicuna

Tell them it's time to say ad5/14 to Michael Jackson, no matter how ar6/21 fans they are. He won many aw5/20s, but that doesn't mean they should be id4/5.

3:48 pm

Soodle

Way-hey!! May I invite all my babbling buddies to join me in a sociable drink.............

3:49 pm

Atalante

oh very good Vi

3:49 pm

Haz1558

Soodle, I must tell you why Baileys raises so many laughs here. We have a large 'travelling community' here and one of their recent funerals featured a wreath in the shape of a Baileys bottle (scanned label, brown crysanthemums, the lot)

3:49 pm

Soodle

Vi - raising a glass to you, as I type!!

3:50 pm

Vicuna

lol

3:50 pm

Atalante

still the best best story

3:50 pm

Soodle

Oh Haz, I have seen funerals with wreaths shaped like Hiace vans, caravans, guinness bottles, the list goes on.

3:51 pm

Vicuna

They do one better in parts of Africa where they make the coffin in those shapes.

3:52 pm

Soodle

And there is invariably a fight, with pitchforks, scythes, and God knows what following the ceremony.

3:52 pm

Haz1558

They're imaginative, aren't they? Elvis guitars and fish shaped wreaths also featured. The highlight (so the gravediggers told me) was when they released doves. Possibly racing pigeons covered in flour but a wonderful gesture of peace...

3:53 pm

Vicuna

Doves, scythes... I think you're mixing your messages.

3:53 pm

Soodle

OH Haz, I'm choking on my Baileys at the thought....ha ha

3:53 pm

lynxxx

sounds mad

3:53 pm

Haz1558

Do you think there's a special Florist school where they learn to make those wreaths?

3:53 pm

Becca Lorum

Evening everyone

3:53 pm

Haz1558

It is mad, lynxxx, but entertaining.

3:53 pm

Becca Lorum

wade

3:54 pm

Soodle

Lyn, you probably haven't had experience of the 'travelling community'. They are a law unto themselves!!

3:54 pm

Becca Lorum

Oops sorry

3:54 pm

Haz1558

Hello Becca.

3:54 pm

lynxxx

hi Becca

3:54 pm

Becca Lorum

Bye again. Poorly boy not sleeping

3:55 pm

Haz1558

Oh dear. Hope poorly boy gets better, you've another 298 words to get.

3:59 pm

Atalante

finally getting there with the grid

4:00 pm

Becca Lorum

Back again. and only 170 left to go - I was here earlier!

4:00 pm

Haz1558

How far off?

4:00 pm

Haz1558

Welcome back Becca, not such a mountain to climb after all

4:00 pm

Atalante

10!

4:00 pm

Vicuna

Go, Ata and Becca, go!

4:01 pm

Haz1558

You're practically there!

4:01 pm

Becca Lorum

I'm never going to finish though - too tired to make it to the end!

4:01 pm

Becca Lorum

Ooh, go Ata....

4:02 pm

Haz1558

Has the baby not been well for a while?

4:03 pm

Becca Lorum

Been a bit off colour for a couple of days but nothing specific until last night - he woke up eoth a fever at 4 this morning

4:03 pm

Becca Lorum

*witha fever

4:03 pm

Haz1558

Can you still give Calpol? I think it's wonderful stuff.

4:03 pm

Vicuna

Ugh.

4:03 pm

Becca Lorum

He's had plenty of that today!

4:04 pm

Becca Lorum

Sicked the last lot up again though

4:04 pm

Haz1558

Great! It was always reassuring to have it on standby, a good help in bringing down the temperature so that he doesn't look and feel like a boiler about to explode.

4:05 pm

Becca Lorum

Worked rather well at 4 o'clock I must say!

4:05 pm

Haz1558

Oh dear, what an ungrateful boy. It's hateful when they're sick, isn't it?

4:05 pm

Atalante

1 left. And it refuses to be found

4:06 pm

Becca Lorum

It's awful! Especially when it's in my bed and on my clothes!

4:06 pm

Haz1558

The good thing about children is how quickly they recover - hopefully he'll be okay soon.

4:06 pm

Becca Lorum

What are you looking for Ata?

4:06 pm

Atalante

just got it by typing in random letters :)

4:06 pm

Vicuna

Yay for Ata!

4:07 pm

Becca Lorum

I hope so too, but his good friend also has a fever and is developing spots. Chicken pox is doing the rounds here.

4:07 pm

Becca Lorum

Yay Ata.

4:07 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Ata!

4:07 pm

Haz1558

Well done! That's not monkeying, that's typing with attitude.

4:07 pm

Atalante

"a Bohemian dance in two forms, one resembling the waltz or the mazurka, the other resembling the polka" *SIGH*

4:07 pm

Vicuna

Hmmm.... wonder if I have that one yet!

4:07 pm

Haz1558

It's all the rage in the clubs, Ata, didn't you know?

4:08 pm

Becca Lorum

Oh dear, he's awake again. I think I give up tonght. I'm off, taking him to bed with me. Night everyone.

4:08 pm

Atalante

very random letters, Vi

4:08 pm

4:13 pm

Vicuna

Well, if you insist.

4:13 pm

What's the rest of it?

4:13 pm

Vicuna

No one knows.

4:13 pm

Haz1558

It'll run through my head now.

Google it!

"adore you.... and want you so

4:15 pm

Haz1558

It's a Shirley Bassey song.

4:15 pm

Haz1558

Finding it now.

4:16 pm

Haz1558

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one,
With nothing to give you but Oh
I Love You

He, He buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear when I say,
That he can give you the world,
But he'll never love you the way
I Love You

He can take you anyplace he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you, go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling it's I
Who Loves you

I Love You
I Love You
I Love You

4:17 pm

Haz1558

Well, that's sorted out that question.

4:17 pm

Vicuna

(And Haz complains about my singing. Sheesh.)

4:17 pm

Haz1558

It was Shirley Bassey singing, couldn't you hear her?

4:18 pm

Vicuna

Does she really have a Ballymena accent?

4:18 pm

Atalante

oh you mean there's another singer in ther world apart from Michael Jackson?

4:18 pm

Haz1558

No! She's from Wales.

4:19 pm

Haz1558

There have been a few, Ata, but none that really matter.

4:19 pm

Atalante

she's from Tiger Bay

4:19 pm

Vicuna

Can she do the moonwalk?

4:19 pm

Haz1558

She invented it. Someone stole the idea from her.

4:19 pm

Vicuna

And how many zippers does her average outfit employ?

4:19 pm

Atalante

bound to

4:20 pm

Atalante

27

4:20 pm

Haz1558

350 zippers per outfit. And that's just for day wear.

4:20 pm

Vicuna

Well then you're right. Grave injustice is being done here.

4:21 pm

Atalante

and she loves gold lamÃ©

4:21 pm

Haz1558

I know.

4:21 pm

Vicuna

(Though I can't help noticing that experts seem unable to agree on a zipperation estimate.)

4:22 pm

Atalante

I;m sure Haz is right really

4:22 pm

Haz1558

Shirley Bassey has it written into her contract that she has 350 zippers through the day and 500 at night. No need for arguing among the experts for that one.

4:22 pm

Haz1558

She's very considerate that way.

4:23 pm

Atalante

Haz is always right

4:23 pm

Haz1558

Your faith in me is touching, Ata.

4:25 pm

Atalante

arent I lovely

4:25 pm

Boobear

clue for fu 5/30 please

4:25 pm

rbud

hi ladies, what's new?

4:25 pm

Atalante

I saw a very annoying sign today, pointing to Kent Intern'tl Airport

4:25 pm

Atalante

apostrophes, please!

4:26 pm

Haz1558

fu5/30 - past tense of fu4/13

4:26 pm

Boobear

ty

4:27 pm

Haz1558

If you'd been around when they were putting it up, you could have pointed out the problem, Ata. I didn't know Kent had an International airport.

4:28 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, Boo.

4:28 pm

Atalante

it does!

4:28 pm

Atalante

planes fly to Jersey and somwhere in Spain

4:29 pm

Atalante

hope you're impressed lol

4:29 pm

lynxxx

What kind of wo** is that! I hadn't even tried it - but TY

4:29 pm

Haz1558

I am! And to Lake Garda, according to the website.

4:29 pm

Atalante

wow! didn't know that!

4:30 pm

Atalante

it's basically an old airfield that cargo planes use a lot. DHL in particular. So they decided to turn it into Kent International. It's a joke

4:30 pm

rbud

there's also an fu5 with the same 1st 4, dbl vowel

4:31 pm

Haz1558

Well, you can get to Lake Garda for a week with bed and breakfast for from Â£299.

4:31 pm

Haz1558

Of course the price goes up if you want to have fuel in the plane.

4:31 pm

rbud

and the pl of the fu4/13

4:31 pm

Atalante

Lake Garda. How very odd! Guess airport taxes are low there

4:32 pm

Haz1558

They'll probably fly into Verona, it's pretty close to Garda.

4:32 pm

Haz1558

And it's not a huge airport either.

4:32 pm

Atalante

love your pic, rosebud

4:33 pm

rbud

ty :)

4:33 pm

Atalante

or Linate, or whatever the really scummy airport outside Milan is called

4:33 pm

Atalante

oh wait, that would be Linate lol

4:35 pm

Haz1558

It's beginning to darken down here. I love the long summer evenings.

4:36 pm

Atalante

me too

4:36 pm

Atalante

it's soooo muggy here

4:37 pm

Haz1558

There were heatwave warnings issued for Monday and Tuesday for the south of England. Better get your supplies of ice-cream in.

4:37 pm

Haz1558

At least Hobbit will be more comfortable.

4:38 pm

Atalante

did! went to Asda today to buy up ice creams for me and lollies for HObbit

4:38 pm

Haz1558

Can she hold them between her paws?

4:38 pm

sugyroxdemsocks

Atalante

I offered her food, but she is still not eating :(

4:40 pm

Haz1558

You must take a photo, Ata.

4:41 pm

Atalante

I tried to the other day and failed miserably. I will try again

4:41 pm

Haz1558

Well, good that you have found her, peri, but cats do seem to be temperamental creatures.

4:41 pm

periwinkle

Haz1558

When you've got the to8, remove letters to get some more words.

4:47 pm

periwinkle

4:47 pm

Haz1558

Goodness, I'm going to have to disappoint you on that one, peri!

4:47 pm

4:48 pm

6:23 pm

Uniquity

It's very nice to be able to see family members. It is one thing to talk, but to share a visual is so great!

6:24 pm

JBV

this sounds so ancient, but I remember at the World's Fair in 1964, they previewed the video phone and we thought it was so futuristic, and now it's here

I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!

6:35 pm

DR1965

JBV

family is family, no matter what

I believe that ! Look at Elvis, John Belushi, Anna Nicole... they almost killed Brittany Spears as well

7:27 pm

JBV

how about the plastic surgeon who agreed to do whatever he wanted done to his face? who is that doctor?

7:27 pm

DR1965

Did they ever find the "DR" that was with him?

7:27 pm

sebadoh

ita about the celebrity doctors being drug pushers. even some regular people doctors are way too quick to overprescribe meds, IMO

7:28 pm

JBV

yes, they mentioned his name - don't remember it

7:28 pm

DR1965

he was " missing" earlier today

7:29 pm

Dorens

i suppose i should put on the tv and find out what they have to say about Michael J today.. anyone know what channel will have news?

7:31 pm

DR1965

7:32 pm

JBV

fa 5/24 - one was ordered for Salman Rushdie
