Just1Mar

ac 8/9

1:21 am

PAV3

our politicos are screwed up here...tomorrow is the last day of the fiscal year...if we have no budget passed and signed, we don't work Wed...the stalemate is on the controlling republicans who don't want to increase taxes (temporarily) to help raise funds ($3 billion for the current year ending tomorrow) and would rather cut more form the education budget..in a state ranked 49th in education spending...the dems were never invited to help craft a budget so they don't really care what happens...they won't be to blame wither way...

1:21 am

rbud

Just1Mar

1:55 am

flosey

2:01 am

jillibus

sprite's choice lied inthe 1600s -- you should have her in your My Friends -- she is the one who lists the themes

2:01 am

flosey

2:02 am

jillibus

don't think so, flosey

2:02 am

Just1Mar

I do jilli

2:02 am

J. C.

Whose photo would I use as my avatar for today's theme, Jilli - my next-door neighbour? Yes, I'd have to! HAHAHA . . .

2:02 am

Just1Mar

I meant I do have her in my friends not that I do think pearson is alive!

2:03 am

jillibus

Pearson died in Dec 1972

2:03 am

Just1Mar

wow long time ago...

2:04 am

jillibus

JC, you could put up the former owner of your house.

2:04 am

flosey

thanks jilli, should have known that

2:04 am

J. C.

Well no, Jilli - he is deceased. Or doesn't that matter?

2:05 am

Just1Mar

2:05 am

jillibus

2:05 am

J. C.

Oh, sorry Jilli - I'm in a chat window also, and being distracted by a puppy. :)

2:06 am

J. C.

2:08 am

J. C.

2:08 am

dart001

2:08 am

J. C.

If you log in there, on the 'Home' page (where you are when you first log in), scroll down and look on the left, and you should see a link to click, notifying you of new friend requests . . .

2:09 am

justafreep

2:11 am

jillibus

must pay some attention to MySpace when I have time -- sorry, Laura

2:12 am

J. C.

She is 'Fauxmage' in my 'Friend Space' there, Jilli - you'll see her on my page. She is the one who posted that funny comment with the Richard Simmons graphic - did you see that? :P

2:13 am

jillibus

didn't notice Richard -- really just skimmed there

2:14 am

J. C.

Oh - well you should read the comments, Jilli - some funny stuff there. ;)

2:14 am

J. C.

That one, and my response to it - two comments above.

2:14 am

J. C.

Of course, you may want to slap me . . . ;)

2:15 am

jillibus

I will, JC, soon -- but not now -- nearly bedtime

2:17 am

J. C.

Yes . . .

2:20 am

jillibus

I don't mean I'll slap you soon, lol...

2:22 am

J. C.

HAHAHA!

2:23 am

J. C.

I think you just might, Jilli - when you see my reply to Laura's comment on my page . . . :P

2:23 am

J. C.

Oh, and I added a funny graphic to the page earlier - under the bit about shelter adoption, in the 'Heroes' section.

2:23 am

J. C.

Should make you laugh . . .

2:24 am

J. C.

What the text on it says . . .

2:25 am

Right now Jon Stewart is making me laugh

FMitch

2:59 am

herinfernallady

Hi FM to. Hi Jc and Just

3:00 am

jillibus

awwww

3:00 am

Just1Mar

I concur wholeheartedly :)

3:01 am

Just1Mar

3:01 am

herinfernallady

awww

3:01 am

jillibus

phew!

3:01 am

J. C.

Same here, Just . . .

3:01 am

herinfernallady

Sorry but my internet is really bad.

3:02 am

J. C.

Sure, Jilli . . . if you wish? ;)

3:02 am

mrpresident

and my typing is really bad

3:02 am

jillibus

whatever

3:02 am

Just1Mar

oh yeah fer sure

3:02 am

J. C.

Does that mean I have to call you 'Aunty Jill' now?

3:02 am

FMitch

Very true J.C, a lovely warm woman with so much interesting life history and experience to share with us all - esp via her icons.

3:02 am

jillibus

shudder!

3:02 am

J. C.

Yes, she certainly is, FMitch . . . :)

3:03 am

FMitch

lol

3:03 am

J. C.

Shudder? Aww, sorry Jilli! :/

3:03 am

Just1Mar

I'd have to call you ACA (Across country auntie)

3:03 am

jillibus

oh pleeze -- jilli is just fine

3:03 am

FMitch

I'll just keep calling you jilli and you can always call me ERmintrude ;)

3:03 am

J. C.

Bet my typing is worse, mrp - it flies out the window on a regular basis, and travels to far-away, unknown places, where perhaps they can actually read and make sense of it?! :P

3:04 am

jillibus

and that was typed perfectly, JC

3:04 am

J. C.

Yes - THAT was, Jilli. But I have made many typos here already, this morning.

3:05 am

jillibus

don't we all!

3:05 am

mrpresident

JC, been there done that! Got criticized for it, moved on!

3:05 am

J. C.

HAHA . . .

3:05 am

jillibus

brb while I shut off horrible noise on TV

3:06 am

mrpresident

no horrible tv noise here, just the beautiful sound of balls being hit!

3:06 am

herinfernallady

brb whilst i do this tax return. If we don't get the $900 if feaking kill him

3:06 am

FMitch

Bye herin, go for it!

3:07 am

FMitch

the tax return bit not the killing

3:07 am

mrpresident

I would prefer a good killing to doing tax return

3:08 am

FMitch

I'd rather kill the tax man and be done with it!

3:10 am

mrpresident

Lickety did something really good today!!

3:10 am

Just1Mar

he does something good everyday, mrP! :)

3:10 am

jillibus

Oh what, what?

3:10 am

jillibus

besides giving us the list...

3:11 am

FMitch

Did Lickety ever realise the global effect he would have?!

3:12 am

mrpresident

I just asked him FM... he is perplexed!

3:13 am

FMitch

awe and lol

3:13 am

flosey

100 to go and I'm off to bed, goodnight all

3:13 am

mrpresident

He got Foxtel IQ so now we can pause and rewind live tv, record 2 other programs whilst watching another... on all channels!!
It is brilliant for the tennis!!

3:13 am

Just1Mar

wow flosey you're up late!

3:13 am

FMitch

Hi/bye flosey

3:14 am

jillibus

3:14 am

flosey

3:14 am

Just1Mar

3:14 am

Just1Mar

yes but I am a nightowl

3:14 am

Just1Mar

or a vampire

3:15 am

FMitch

Sorry Mr but Licketys list is much more impressive than being able to watch sport (not a tennis fan and I know I am blaspheming here).

3:15 am

mrpresident

yes Mar, we have two units, but only one is IQ.
I was dubious about it, but now see the love!

3:15 am

jillibus

I'm with you, FM

3:16 am

Just1Mar

they're quite expensive here...about 500 to 600 CDN

3:16 am

jillibus

but having a gizmo like that is great, I'm told

3:17 am

mrpresident

Why so much Mar??

3:17 am

FMitch

Enjoy watching the finals, same for football and most major sports.

3:17 am

flosey

if it weren't for Lickety's list, I doubt that I'd have stayed with babble. Am very glad I did though, this is the greatest group of friends. and now poof before lI fall asleep in this chair

3:17 am

Just1Mar

here it's called a PVR...personal video recorder

3:17 am

mrpresident

Lickety loves to pleasure us! That is all he says!

3:17 am

Just1Mar

cause our cable and satelite companies like to gouge us :(

3:18 am

FMitch

Glad you did stay flosey.

3:18 am

Just1Mar

basically they collude...cell phones too

3:18 am

mrpresident

That sucks! we have foxtel IQ free for the first year, then it is $80 per month for the Gold Package

3:18 am

FMitch

Right, I am diving ito the grid cos I have a lot of words to find.

3:18 am

jillibus

night, flosey, and good luck to Sandy

3:19 am

Just1Mar

we are about the only country in the world where our communcations companies are so expensive

3:19 am

Just1Mar

nite flosey

3:19 am

mrpresident

FM, he had to do something to get me off babble! I was spending time away from him without his fancy list!

3:20 am

jillibus

bye FM -- I'll be off to bed before you come up for air

3:20 am

Just1Mar

I agree with flosey

3:21 am

FMitch

Nighty night the jilli, glad to have caught up with you again.

3:23 am

jillibus

3:23 am

FMitch

Oops just realised I posted a word earlier, heads off home AKA the PB :)

3:23 am

Just1Mar

3:24 am

mrpresident

LOL FM! could it be that the PB has turned into a 5 star hotel by now!?

3:24 am

J. C.

Night, Jilli . . .

3:25 am

FMitch

The way I build it - more than likely :D

3:26 am

FMitch

I did try an austere version of the PB a while ago but no-one wanted it.

3:26 am

mrpresident

I like the showers in there!

3:26 am

J. C.

There are showers in the PB?

3:26 am

FMitch

and the cabana boys ;)

3:27 am

J. C.

Ooh, cabana boys??? *FANS SELF!* :P

3:27 am

mrpresident

mrpresident

3:29 am

FMitch

Ang and Lola had a lot to answer for, eh MrP?

3:30 am

mrpresident

FMitch

3:32 am

mrpresident

LOL !! :D

3:33 am

mrpresident

But when Torg's wife found out... he was banned for ages! LOL!!

3:33 am

FMitch

Torg is a tease and love to flirt.

3:34 am

mrpresident

Torg the Tease

3:35 am

J. C.

Oh, OK FMitch - sorry, was sidetracked for a bit.

3:37 am

J. C.

HAHAHA - that's so funny!!!

3:37 am

J. C.

I had to click 'All Sizes' to see it full-size.

3:37 am

FMitch

herinfernallady

Oh you got piccies again

J. C.

3:40 am

J. C.

Yes, FMitch - I had to log into Flickr, in order to view the pic full size.

3:41 am

FMitch

there are so many references, I should count them up and invent a game!

3:46 am

J. C.

I wouldn't even know them all . . .

3:46 am

J. C.

The references in the picture, I mean.

3:49 am

3:53 am

herinfernallady

bye bye now

4:22 am

Becca Lorum

Hello everyone

4:23 am

Haz1558

Hello Becca. How's the little one?

4:24 am

Becca Lorum

Not so good at the moment - he's had a bit of a virus so grumpy and sleeping even worse than usual :o(

4:24 am

Haz1558

Not nice for him or for you!

4:24 am

Haz1558

And the warm weather will make it even more difficult to keep him cool, I suppose.

4:24 am

Becca Lorum

We are having a rough time of it, yes.

4:25 am

Becca Lorum

Oh it's horrible trying to keep him cool - he's just in a nappy and he's still too hot.

4:25 am

Becca Lorum

Luckily our old Victorian house is quite cool inside so that helps a bit.

4:25 am

Haz1558

I sympathise. It's not nice when you're used to having a pleasant, contented baby and suddenly he's replaced by an unhappy wee soul.

4:26 am

Haz1558

Is he still getting Calpol or was one dose of it over your clothes enough?

4:26 am

Becca Lorum

I just feel so sorry for him because he doesn't know what's going on and he can't say how miserab;e he is or tell me where it hurts - poor thing.

4:26 am

Becca Lorum

He had some last night and some neurofen too.

4:27 am

Becca Lorum

I've found he'll take it better from a soon, but the syringe is so much less messy at night

4:28 am

Haz1558

Hopefully that's keeping on top of things a bit. He WILL get better and probably very rapidly in the end but it's just horrible in the meantime.

4:28 am

Becca Lorum

I think he's nearly over it, but I think there is a tooth coming through too, which is compounding things a bit!

4:28 am

Haz1558

Is he coughing with the virus or all stuffed up?

4:29 am

Becca Lorum

A little bit of a cough but nothing much, and he's not stuffed up at all thankfully.

4:29 am

Becca Lorum

He's just hot and bothered!

4:30 am

Haz1558

Poor wee soul! Feeling hot and bothered is really not nice even when there's nothing else wrong with you.

4:30 am

Becca Lorum

The hardest part for me is not being able to go anywhere - I'm getting so bored!

4:31 am

Haz1558

Is it too hot to venture out at all or is he just not up to it?

4:32 am

Becca Lorum

Too hot to sit outside, and I'm wary of passing virus on to other babies.

4:32 am

Becca Lorum

We have one friend who's baby also has hte same virus so we can go to her house!

4:32 am

Haz1558

Ideally, a nice shady park nearby populated only by virus immune adults...

4:33 am

Becca Lorum

Hmm, where will I find one of those? LOL

4:33 am

Haz1558

How about e-bay?

4:33 am

Becca Lorum

LOL!

4:33 am

Haz1558

They seem to sell most things these days.

4:34 am

Becca Lorum

I'll have to look.

4:35 am

Becca Lorum

Ooh, I've just found one of my favourite words in the grid - fe6/36.

4:35 am

Haz1558

If they do have one, be prepare for a bidding war.

4:35 am

Haz1558

Have you something to tell us, Becca!?

4:35 am

Becca Lorum

Could turn out very expensive.

4:35 am

Haz1558

There's an se6/27 with the same structure.

4:36 am

Becca Lorum

No! God, no. I can barely cope with the one I've got at the moment!

4:36 am

Haz1558

You're coping beautifully - childhood illnesses are enough to try the patience of a saint.

4:37 am

Becca Lorum

Besides, it's far too soon for another baby. He only turns one next week.

4:37 am

Haz1558

My girls are grown but I do remember the level of frustration with having to cope when they weren't well.

4:37 am

Becca Lorum

Thank you Haz, that makes me feel much better, because I feel like tearing my hair out at the moment.

4:38 am

Becca Lorum

It has such a massive effect on al of us. Hubby and I are rowing because we're both so tired.

4:38 am

Haz1558

I know - I know the feeling but I've also had the experience of knowing that they do get better and that you'll get into a routine again.

4:38 am

Becca Lorum

Yes I know. I just wish I knew when!

4:39 am

Haz1558

The sort of tiredness that leaves you feeling muzzy and murderous?

4:39 am

Becca Lorum

Oh rats, he's awake. Bye for now.

4:39 am

Haz1558

Bye Becca. It WILL get better.

4:40 am

Becca Lorum

Hooray, we're in luck, a quick rock and he's back to sleep already!

4:41 am

Becca Lorum

And muzzy and murderous sounds about right, yes.

4:42 am

Becca Lorum

Uh oh, waving feet.

4:42 am

Haz1558

Good, glad he's gone back to sleep again. I don't suppose you can catch up on sleep?

4:44 am

Becca Lorum

I find it really hard to sleep during the day. I tend to read or play Baable to relax rather than sleep.

4:44 am

Becca Lorum

Better than doing housework anyway!

4:45 am

Haz1558

Dear me, you'll never get your gold star for Housework at this rate.

4:45 am

Haz1558

Of course, you can buy THEM on e-bay as well.

4:45 am

Becca Lorum

I can live without that particular gold star.

4:46 am

Becca Lorum

LOL!

4:46 am

Haz1558

Anyway, good excuse is that the vacuum will waken Grumpypants.

4:46 am

Becca Lorum

If only I could buy a clean house on e-bay.

4:46 am

Haz1558

And the baby might not like it either.

4:46 am

Becca Lorum

Ha ha!!

4:47 am

Haz1558

E-bay's bound to be interested in some of these suggestions. Can I claim copyright?

4:47 am

Becca Lorum

He hates the vacuum.

4:47 am

Becca Lorum

But he loves the robot vacuum cleaner we have (as do I).

4:48 am

Haz1558

I've seen them on TV but never in operation. Are they effective?

Becca Lorum

Not sure about claiming copyright on these ideas. You'll have to apply to the patents office

4:48 am

Haz1558

Taking a note... patents office...e-bay... instant riches.

4:48 am

Becca Lorum

More effective than I am. Yes, it's very good actually.

4:49 am

Becca Lorum

Can I claim half the takings for being your muse?

4:49 am

Haz1558

We'll have to negotiate, Becca.

4:50 am

Becca Lorum

BIAM

4:50 am

Haz1558

I can see you claiming money for the baby, since it's his illness that started the ball rolling.

4:50 am

Haz1558

Worked it out. Back in a minute?

4:51 am

Haz1558

I should have worked at Bletchley Park.

4:51 am

Becca Lorum

Yes, back in a minute. What's Bletchley Park?

4:52 am

Haz1558

It was a station during the war where they cracked codes. The film 'Enigma' was set there.

4:52 am

Becca Lorum

Ah, I see!

4:53 am

Becca Lorum

He's trying to sleep but keeps waking up a bit. I'm doing my best to keep him sleeping.

4:53 am

Haz1558

It must have been an incredible place, all those brains working flat out in an enclosed and secretive environment and with the pressure of knowing that there were lives at stake.

4:54 am

Becca Lorum

Sounds like hell to me.

4:55 am

Becca Lorum

I don't work welll under pressure. I prefer to take my time.

4:55 am

Haz1558

I don't mind a bit of pressure, but I've never had lives depending on me.

4:56 am

Becca Lorum

I have had the lives depending on me bit (to a small degree).

4:56 am

mrpresident

wow, that andy murray match was a sensation!

4:57 am

Becca Lorum

I think I'm the only person in Britain not watching the tennis.

4:57 am

mrpresident

hey becca, is baby doing better?

4:57 am

Becca Lorum

Did he do well?

4:57 am

movieman

wasn't it, mrp!!!!!

4:57 am

Haz1558

Well, Becca, if you've coped with lives depending on you, you're well able to cope with the wee one. The problem is the emotional attachment you feel.

4:57 am

mrpresident

hi movieman! It was incredible! Wish I was there!

4:58 am

movieman

Nearly 4 hours of edge of the seat stuff

4:58 am

Becca Lorum

He's getting there mrp, just grumpy and tired and too hot!

4:58 am

mrpresident

Becca, he/we came to within an inch of having a coronary! Was so close!

4:58 am

Becca Lorum

I'm not emotionally attached Haz - I'm emotionally welded!

4:59 am

mrpresident

grumpy, tired, hot.... must be time for a nice cool bath!

4:59 am

Haz1558

Exactly.

4:59 am

Becca Lorum

Wow -sounds like exciting stuff mrp! Glad no-one actually had a coronary though.

5:00 am

mrpresident

all our boys are through to the quarter finals... makes it great!

5:01 am

Becca Lorum

Could I have a clue for the u please?

5:02 am

Haz1558

becca'ffds

5:04 am

Becca Lorum

Thank you Haz. Any idea what it means? Or is it an abbreviation for grunters?

5:05 am

Haz1558

I don't know - dictionary.com yields no results.

5:05 am

Becca Lorum

Useless dictionary.

5:06 am

Haz1558

Or perhaps it really does mean' on its way to being beneath'

5:06 am

becca'ffds

ds

5:07 am

Becca Lorum

Perhaps it does, Haz.

5:08 am

Haz1558

Or a mixed up pile of sand?

5:08 am

Becca Lorum

LOL! Took me a while to get that one.

5:09 am

Becca Lorum

And of course, then I tried to enter the pile of sand.

5:09 am

Haz1558

There's also the naked possibilty.

5:09 am

Becca Lorum

Naked sand on its way to being beneath.

5:10 am

Haz1558

You've cracked it!

5:10 am

Haz1558

You should apply for a part time job at dictionay.com. If they won't give words meanings, you will.

5:10 am

Becca Lorum

I'm now wondering what kind of clothes sand would wear.

5:10 am

Kind of a mission impossible for those nu, don't you think?

Okay, I have to depart to do my chauffeur act - daughter's car is in the garage and she refuses to walk five miles home. Honestly, I've raised one lazy girl.

5:26 am

I don't want to have to do it myself Lori - I'm far too busy for that!

6:08 am

Atalante

I'm trying not to laugh, but its actually very funny ... she swallowed a Mini Milk - whole. Stick included.

6:08 am

Wolvie

oh my - gotta ask tho - what is a mini milk? an ice cream bar?

6:08 am

lynxxx

so they will keep her until it passes?

6:08 am

That is such a Hobbit thing to do. Silly Hobbit

6:10 am

Wolvie

ah. it is an ice cream bar.

6:10 am

Atalante

passes? nooooo. she's too small for a stick to go through. so! x-rays followed by endoscope to try and get it out. If they can, great, if they can't, she'll need an op to get it out

6:10 am

ardilla

oh a popsicle

6:10 am

Wolvie

oh - I hope they can get it out without surgery.

6:11 am

Atalante

so do I! endoscopy is bad enough!

6:11 am

lynxxx

oh that sounds awful, poor baby

6:11 am

ardilla

*se4s healing thoughts to hobbit

6:12 am

Atalante

so she's down there being doped up for x-rays / endo

6:12 am

Wolvie

I bet you do ata, and I agree - one of my kitties had to have surgery to remove a swallowed object a few years ago - not fun

6:12 am

LoriP

I'm having an incredibly inappropriate response type day. I can totally picture Hobbit doing that, but the ensuing drama, not so fun until it's all a nice story in the archives.

6:12 am

good luck to you and the pup, ata

Atalante

just talked to the vet, they took an x-ray and can't see the lolly stick - so it's either right up against the stomach lining, or *somehow* she managed to spit it out or keep it in her oesophagus. I'm going to feel really really stupid if it turns out not to be there, but I would *swear* I saw her swallow it

6:42 am

herinfernallady

awww he is all legs

6:42 am

Wolvie

oh boy ata - pins and needles time

6:42 am

Wolvie

6:43 am

herinfernallady

Hi Carlee

lynxxx

hi Carlee

6:43 am

carleekat

i come in on dog poop..how..."refreshing"

6:43 am

Atalante

they'll do the endoscope anyway, it's not worth the risk that maybe she didn't swallow it. Apparently these things are often impossible to see on x-ray

6:44 am

Wolvie

hey - it's in the grid carlee

6:44 am

Atalante

it won't make it to her poop, that's the problem!

6:44 am

Wolvie

if she chewed it up it might ata

6:44 am

herinfernallady

Um can they get her to poop some how? I mean seriously

Haz1558

Ata, you still here?

7:52 am

Haz1558

Just reading back about Hobbit's misadventures.

7:53 am

Atalante

yes! just talking to the vet!

7:53 am

Haz1558

Any news?

7:54 am

Atalante

lolly stick removed :)

7:54 am

Haz1558

Excellent!

7:54 am

Atalante

it was sitting half in her oesophagus and half in her stomach, they just whipped it out using the endoscope

7:54 am

lynxxx

whew!

7:54 am

Haz1558

Poor Hobbit. She's not realise for a while that that was her last lolly.

7:54 am

Haz1558

That's great that they avoided having to do a laporoscopy.

7:54 am

lynxxx

and no operation, even better.

7:55 am

Atalante

nooooooo! I'll need to find a stick-free alternative for her

7:55 am

Haz1558

Laportomy even. Cutting her up!

7:55 am

Atalante

oh gosh, yes. didn't really want her opened up! yes, that. lap thing. lol

7:56 am

Haz1558

You probably saved her from having that by reacting so quickly.

7:56 am

Atalante

dear husband of course informs me that it's all my fault and I'm not looking after pup properly! *facepalm*

7:56 am

lynxxx

You can't make some milky iceblocks for her?

7:56 am

Haz1558

Was it a bit like the budgie flying into the cat's cage sort of moment?

7:56 am

Atalante

yes ... they were very glad I brought her straight in rather than waiting till she was in pain in a few days time

7:57 am

Atalante

yes! it was really rather funny. I passed the lolly to her, holding onto the stick, and she just *hoovered* it

7:57 am

Haz1558

Wait a few days and you'd have had a very sick dog.

7:57 am

Haz1558

You don't suppose Oscar has had a bad influence on her?

7:59 am

Atalante

I actually left a message on Lizs facebook page telling her that her dog was a bad influence ;P

8:00 am

zoozzoom

hello all..just coming out of lurking for a sce..to ask how the dog is after ..drinking the wine..i think the dog was called spangle?.

8:00 am

Haz1558

I hope she feels suitably guilty. Maybe she'll pay the bill!

8:00 am

Atalante

he's had a bad influence on all the babble dogs!

8:01 am

Atalante

thank goodness for pet insurance, that's all I'm saying today!

8:02 am

Haz1558

Hello zooz. Spangle is my dog <--------. She wouldn't do anything so silly! The dog you mean was a patient, my husband's a vet and I get to answer emergency calls at night and weekends.

8:02 am

Atalante

Spangle's far too decorous

8:03 am

zoozzoom

ohh..lol..sorry..totally misunderstood that day then..sorry about that. :-)

8:03 am

Haz1558

I haven't heard any more about it, I'm assuming vet on call either admitted it for a drip or advised letting dog sleep it off. She wasn't convinced it could have drunk enough wine to make it that ill, more llikely a carelessly dropped tablet of some sort.

8:03 am

Atalante

*sitting here just sooo relieved lolly stick is out* vets are the best

8:03 am

Haz1558

No problem, zooz.

8:03 am

Haz1558

*smug* - I'm married to the best.

8:04 am

Atalante

you are!

8:04 am

zoozzoom

ok..diving back in. *Splash*

8:05 am

lynxxx

that's very sweet Haz

8:06 am

Haz1558

Well, I have to keep on the right side of him. He possesses several different methods of doing away with me if the fancy took him.

8:06 am

Haz1558

But seriously, he is a wonderful husband!

8:06 am

Atalante

It's strange, thinking about it, there are a lot of bad doctors and dentists, but very few bad vets

8:07 am

lynxxx

I've come across a few unfortunately

8:07 am

Haz1558

There are bound to be some. There's no point being married to the best vet if they're all brilliant.

8:07 am

NonoNanette

Good morning Babblers :)

8:08 am

lynxxx

hi Nono

8:08 am

Haz1558

Good morning Nono.

8:09 am

mom2han8

ok... the T on the left... I have the russian leader... anyone care to clue the others???

8:09 am

lynxxx

Actually, on reflection, the bad ones have al been quite young. Perhaps another instance where experience is preferable

8:10 am

NonoNanette

I have come accross one vet who is only in it for the money I'm afraid and not for the good of the animals

8:10 am

Atalante

8:16 am

NonoNanette

redturtlehead

HI all, I am wondering iff my house will actually close today or thursday. No news today which is odd, but...

8:50 am

Judi

I would hope they would give you more than a day's notice, Red.

8:50 am

redturtlehead

It was supposed to close today, then there had to be one more inspection, so they were trying to push the inspector to do it yesterday, I dont know if they got it done. I dont have to be there so...

8:51 am

Judi

Ah. Patience, grasshopper.

8:52 am

redturtlehead

When she said it might be pushed back, this huge heavy weight returned to my body....I really need it to be done with apparently.

8:52 am

redturtlehead

Oh and I need to change my icon, the poulter is old from Friday!

8:53 am

Judi

Pffth. My icon is about three months old. I should just have an icon that says, "why bother?".

8:53 am

NonoNanette

hi Red. What time today was it supposed to close?

8:54 am

mom2han8

LOL... I have never changed my icon.

8:54 am

redturtlehead

I have no idea, I thought 10 am, but I never heard what happened with the inspection, soooo.

8:55 am

NonoNanette

well if there were something drastic found in the inspection you certainly would have heard about it

8:55 am

Judi

Probably no worries, Red. Unless termites, carpenters or plumbers show up at your door - wanting you to sign a repair contract.

8:56 am

redturtlehead

I like to change the icon.

8:57 am

redturtlehead

All of the mess of repairs and such have been taken care of over the past month, it was very very messy, complicated and difficult, so I am very worried that more complications will come up, until that line is signed, I wont feel really good about it.

8:58 am

NonoNanette

I can certainly understand that Red

8:58 am

redturtlehead

Especially after the Septic...

9:00 am

NonoNanette

ewwwe definitely messy

9:00 am

redturtlehead

So, Hopefully I will get a call around 11 or so...

9:00 am

Judi

Ewwww. I remember having septic at our first house. It backed up. We had it pumped out. It immediately filled with water again. We ended up having to have most of our back yard dug up to install about 300 feet of drainage tile. Nightmare.

9:01 am

NonoNanette

keeping my fingers crossed for you Red

9:01 am

redturtlehead

I think all is well, there was a crack discovered in the tank, so I am replacing the tank, but I never had any issues with the septic doing any of those things that seem to be the biggies, yuck Judi.

9:02 am

inge

de

9:02 am

redturtlehead

finally found a nine!

9:02 am

Judi

It was hell. Financially more than anything. Plus, it was the middle of winter (December - right at Christmas time. Joy!). Then in the spring, we had to have grading and re-se4ing done. I cried more than once.

9:03 am

redturtlehead

Septic can be very bad. I some how managed to get out of re-landscaping the mess, probably cause the tank was a little pricy.

9:03 am

NonoNanette

4 of the 5 9's much alike red

9:04 am

mom2han8

I finally found 2 of them... yay!

9:04 am

redturtlehead

I have the re 9.

9:05 am

Judi

We are very thankful for having municipal water and sewer now. I happily pay the small bills.

9:05 am

NonoNanette

ok 2 re9's one past tense one pl. the other 2 are de9

9:05 am

redturtlehead

I am also thanksful not to be doing septic any more, its always a bit of a liabiliuty.

9:05 am

Judi

Okay - I'm off to do some real work. BBL.

9:52 am

CadFan

Popping in at random... no triglycerides? Is it even really bacon??

9:53 am

flosey

absolutely real, you wouldn't taste any difference, it's still pork, etc

9:53 am

crosshair

crossy had NEVER read the ingedients of a pound of bacon...its all good;)

9:53 am

Dorens

mine had normal skin at 3 wks. late... fat and sassy

9:53 am

flosey

we had not eaten bacon for prob. 10 or more years so was thrilled to find this one

9:54 am

crosshair

as long as its pork;0

9:54 am

cherlyq63

cook it right and it tastes good and is safe

9:54 am

Judi

Hmmm. Bacon is all bad. That's why we love it. Must be the fat, nitrates and msg.

9:54 am

flosey

that's the way we're thinking Dorens, a few extra days can help really

9:54 am

rururocks

crossy.. you need to know about the grateful palate

9:55 am

flosey

no nitrates in this either

9:55 am

crosshair

Dorens

crosshair

9:56 am

flosey

we found this at the Whole Foods store - they carry a lot of organics - you can google it and find locations

9:57 am

cherlyq63

your bacon and our bacon are two different things crossy

9:57 am

redturtlehead

Oh lordy, Lots of food talk.

9:58 am

cherlyq63

course I love both

9:58 am

crosshair

oh soprry for you americans,when i say bacon im talking bout bacon cut in long strips that are hicory smoked with a hint of mapel..our peameal is a lean log of back bacon rolled on corn meal

9:58 am

flosey

I found that what the Americans call "Canadian bacon" is not something I would eat,

9:58 am

crosshair

damn typos!!!

9:58 am

flosey

I love peameal bacon

9:59 am

Judi

Never heard of peameal. Sounds good though.

9:59 am

crosshair

remember my american friend,all canadian bacon is not peameal

9:59 am

rururocks

( I am bacon knowledge challenged apparently)

9:59 am

rbud

yeah, canadian bacon down here reminds me of a little round slice of ham and I only encounter it on pizzas

9:59 am

cherlyq63

sounds good

9:59 am

redturtlehead

I have not actually eaten bacon in soooo long....

10:00 am

cherlyq63

true but it is good on pizza wth pineapple too

10:00 am

crosshair

you have been sadly deprived of real bacon then rbud;(

10:00 am

flosey

that's the one I think I had rbud, it was round and very salty

10:01 am

cherlyq63

ours is usually hickory or misquite smoked and sliced then fried in a cast iron skillet or on a griddle till brown

10:01 am

rururocks

Nice nono. I changed mine and have to say I am not fond of our famous man.

10:04 am

harpjane

hello

10:04 am

NonoNanette

I have read some of Koontz' books, red, they all seem much the same so I tend to agree about his writing
skills

10:04 am

flosey

oops, misspelled twice!!! **speech**

10:04 am

NonoNanette

hi Jane

10:05 am

redturtlehead

It's a bit embarassing Nono when I meet big Dean Koontz fans, because i think hes such a hack, though he has sure made a good living on being a hack.

10:06 am

harpjane

what has he written? i'm always looking for books i can take backpacking---and burn the pages as i finish them!

10:06 am

redturtlehead

99 left whooo Hoooo!

10:06 am

NonoNanette

he has written many books that made best seller list but as I said many of the seem the same

clue for the en's?

10:06 am

flosey

to each his own red, obviously some people like him - and they're reading!

10:06 am

redturtlehead

harp, he writes thrillers of lesser quality than steeven King, and I think they are trash.

10:07 am

cherlyq63

I agree red, they lack in a lot of areas

10:07 am

Judi

Yah, Koontz always writes the same-old-same-old. Each book is just a re-tread. I read about three of his books and couldn't stand the deja vu.

10:08 am

harpjane

so i wouldn't break anyone's heart if i burned it one page at a time?

10:08 am

mixi6

red, did your house close?

10:08 am

NonoNanette

not at all jane

10:08 am

flosey

have never read him - can't judge

10:08 am

cherlyq63

well red, heard anything yet

10:08 am

Judi

Better to recycle, Harpjane. Less of a carbon footprint and all that p.c. crappola.

10:08 am

rururocks

I agree.. all his books follow the same path

10:09 am

redturtlehead

No Nothing...

10:09 am

harpjane

it's a question of weight when you are backpacking....

10:09 am

redturtlehead

Mixi, its supposed to close today or thursday. there was a reinspection.

10:09 am

redturtlehead

Nothing, so I assuem its going to happen on Thursday.

10:09 am

rururocks

somewhere a cow just farted and belched near you judi

10:10 am

mixi6

sounds good.

10:10 am

Judi

No doubt, ruru. Some day, cow farts may fuel the world.

10:10 am

rururocks

no kidding old farts rule our senate

10:11 am

redturtlehead

I am a little nervous mixi, but I think I am almost done.

10:11 am

Judi

Uh oh, ruru. Dangerously close to veering into politcal debate. Abort! Abort!

10:12 am

rururocks

back to bacon

10:12 am

mixi6

yeah, always nervous until they sign on the dotted line.

10:12 am

cherlyq63

10:12 am

redturtlehead

Lunch time. No politics here....

10:13 am

Hi Haz!

10:56 am

Haz1558

Hello there!

10:57 am

FMitch

am about to go out to the poast office but thought I would say hello first.

10:57 am

Haz1558

Oh - prepare yourself for the heat!

10:58 am

Haz1558

I'm sure the US and Aussie people think we're terrible wimps. What sort of temp do you have at the minute, Judi?

10:58 am

mixi6

fireworks

10:59 am

Haz1558

Congratulations mixi.

10:59 am

FMitch

Hellishly hot here, 87 acording to my office thermometer.

11:00 am

Haz1558

Much fanning required, I' m sure.

11:00 am

FMitch

yup.

11:00 am

rururocks

105 here

11:01 am

Haz1558

Oh good grief. We'd better stop moaning, FM.

11:01 am

rururocks

do you have humidity though?

11:01 am

rururocks

we don't

11:01 am

Haz1558

If you mean, are our cheeks glowing and our clothes wet - YES!

11:01 am

FMitch

Judi

Cat was belly up on the deck. Didn't want to come in.

11:21 am

Hi Everybody. I need help with that right N so I can have NBT for now. DH wants me to go buy some paint so we (I) can start our bedroom, but I want NBT before I leave. Could someone help please?

11:32 am

BzznBea

Hawiian goose

11:33 am

Haz1558

ne4/4 - light

11:33 am

Haz1558

Or nu6/24 - slight variation in meaning

11:33 am

Nef

nope the *other* RIGHT N please (I'm a lefty and do that all the time!) :-)

11:34 am

disneyjessi

u clue w/ur other left as well...lol

11:34 am

BzznBea

ne+ not bottom

11:34 am

Nef

the nu6/24 came from the middle N (working on the ne4 now

11:35 am

Haz1558

The very far right n? no4/4 musical or written

11:35 am

Haz1558

no4/5 - not an adjective nor a verb

11:35 am

Nef

Thanks Haz! I got it! Love you guys! Happy babbling! BBL!

11:36 am

Haz1558

Bye Nef!

11:36 am

Nef

the only word I found so far was the light ne4/4 Haz; I had all of those other words clued and that was the only one that gave me NBT

11:37 am

Haz1558

Yes, sorry I didn't check which n gave which word.

11:39 am

Nef

BYE now (found 1 or 2 more; DH now hunching over me trying to pull me out of the chair! ;-)

11:39 am

Norma

Hi Babblers can anyone clue the de7 please .. either of them I don't have either ;-)

11:39 am

Atalante

I have my pup back!

11:39 am

BzznBea

de7 - go down

11:40 am

Haz1558

de7 - to condemn (incorporate the imperian weight)

11:40 am

Haz1558

Hooray, Ata - is she a bit dopy?

11:40 am

Haz1558

Sorry, that de7 is a de8.

11:41 am

Norma

Thanks Haz got all three from that ;-)

11:41 am

Haz1558

de7/40 - to go down , de7/36 the going down.

11:41 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Norma - the mistake paid off.

11:41 am

Norma

It did indeed tyvm

11:42 am

Atalante

very dopy!

11:42 am

Atalante

she's on my bed, with a fan nearby. she can sleep it off for a while

11:43 am

Haz1558

That sounds ideal. Had she had any food before she was seen this morning?

11:43 am

Atalante

luckily, no. or maybe a mouthful at the most. very convenient

11:44 am

rururocks

sa 6/21? please

11:44 am

Haz1558

That was good! A dopy pup is one thing, a sick dopy pup is another.

11:45 am

Haz1558

sa6/21 - sa plus a mixed up verse producer

11:45 am

Haz1558

Or to tree liquid add mixed up foot digit.

11:45 am

rururocks

thank you haz

11:45 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:45 am

Atalante

oh yes :) she'll be fine. she had the vets and nurses amazed though - she was literally running around and bouncing with this stick stuck in her oesophagus. no gagging, coughing, nothing. if I hadnt' seen her swallow it, no-one would have known from her behaviour

11:47 am

Haz1558

That's strange - I'm always schooled, when people say, 'I think the dog has something stuck in its throat' - it will be going completely daft, not just coughing a little.

11:48 am

Atalante

but "I've got a stick stuck in my throat" daft, not "omg! I love you! people! bounce! wiggle! wiggle more!" daft

11:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, frantic 'get this thing out of my throat' daft.

11:49 am

Atalante

yes! nope. nada. not a sign.

11:50 am

Haz1558

Your Pollyanna moment for the day was that you were there to see it go down, otherwise it would have been a different story in a few days time.

11:50 am

rururocks

se 6/27?

11:50 am

Atalante

I am so so grateful for that!

11:50 am

Haz1558

se6/27 - same structure as the fertile fe6/36

11:51 am

Atalante

though I really didn't realise how serious it was. I did learn that today

11:52 am

rururocks

yeah!!!!!!!

11:52 am

rururocks

thanks haz

11:52 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ruru.

11:57 am

Atalante

I've met 7 cocker spaniels, 1 Welsh springer, and 1 English springer today between beaches and vets

11:58 am

Atalante

also a standard poodle with a pompom for a head, rotties, dobermans, an 8 week collie pup

11:58 am

DR1965

Does the ac8 build on the ac4 above it?

11:58 am

Haz1558

It does, DR - add a coin.

11:58 am

Atalante

and! oh, poor pup, a staffie who did *not* want to see the vet. Eventually the vet and his owner had to physically pick him up and carry him - rigid as a board - over to the consulting room

11:58 am

Haz1558

You've had a doggy day, indeed!

11:58 am

DR1965

ty Haz!

11:58 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, DR.

11:59 am

DR1965

I now have all the 9's. : )

11:59 am

Poor staffie. I wonder why he was so much against being there?

11:59 am

car.eeyore

TY!

11:59 am

Atalante

I have! It's been lovely in a way! I have *no* idea. But he left claw drag lines in the flooring

12:00 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, car.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

It would make a good cartoon, Ata.

12:00 pm

DR1965

ok... back to work .. bb in a bit... I have 111 left

12:01 pm

Haz1558

BYe DR.

12:01 pm

Atalante

it really would have done! It was classic James Herriot material

12:01 pm

rururocks

sp7?

12:02 pm

Haz1558

sp7 - to do with poetry. One vowel short of what the dish ran away with, add the ending of Volleymom's name.

12:02 pm

I have left water at the bottom of the steps tho.

12:03 pm

wildcat17

she will

12:04 pm

periwinkle

I was sure that she would die behind the old oil heater. she was without food for 3 days. She seems fine tho

12:04 pm

Haz1558

No problem, ruru.

12:04 pm

periwinkle

she had never done steps before

12:04 pm

periwinkle

are the 8's and 9's normal words?

12:05 pm

Atalante

4 are

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Normalish - or at least 4 out of the five nines are normal.

12:05 pm

Atalante

of the 9s

12:05 pm

car.eeyore

Ummm...who is Volleymom and what is at the end of her name?

12:05 pm

periwinkle

hmmm, only 4, well I will try and find them,. turned in my keys to the old apt this am :(

12:05 pm

Haz1558

12:05 pm

12:07 pm

periwinkle

thanks Haz, odd word

12:07 pm

car.eeyore

There are 2 of them peri!

12:07 pm

Haz1558

No, peri, not compounds - the four normal ones all include an imperial unit of weight within the word.

12:07 pm

periwinkle

what is an imperial unit of weight?

12:07 pm

periwinkle

ton?

12:07 pm

Haz1558

And then plural for ac9.

12:08 pm

periwinkle

or the ou5?

12:08 pm

Haz1558

No, less than a po5/16

12:08 pm

Atalante

ou5

12:08 pm

periwinkle

duh, did not think to pluralize thanks Haz

12:08 pm

Haz1558

Metric units of weight are kilos, imperial are things like po5 and ou5.

12:08 pm

periwinkle

the tr8 I found has the ou5 in it

12:08 pm

car.eeyore

May I please have a clue for the second column E....need it for NBT. Thanks!

12:08 pm

periwinkle

thanks Haz, did not know that

12:09 pm

dcseain

12:24 pm

wildcat17

hello hello

12:24 pm

Dorens

oh yes, that is good. it was sort of inevitable, yes? when cats are moved, it takes them time to come out, but they always do

12:24 pm

Dorens

hi lisa

12:24 pm

wildcat17

hi doren

12:25 pm

Anniebrook

moving is a big adjustment for a cat. sometimes for a human too.

12:25 pm

Anniebrook

dorens, are you planning any trips this summer?

12:32 pm

Anniebrook

dorens, she is fine but I am in a soft cast for a couple of weeks. I am embarrassed to say I fell down a flight of stairs in her house. I can get around but not the way I would like to.

12:32 pm

o-o

sorry about than, Annie .. hope you are better soon

12:33 pm

Anniebrook

thanks, BR

12:33 pm

Dorens

oh so sorry... friend of mine fell down a flight of stairs and broke his neck... in hospital for months, when he left he was wearing this halo contraption to keep his head aligned properly. so, even tho you have certainly suffered, I'm glad you are still around and babbling! heal well

12:34 pm

Anniebrook

Oh my goodness. Yes, I was very lucky. I just sprained my ankle badly.

12:35 pm

Dorens

He is just getting back to work this month. executive director of a very successful nonprofit and his work is his life... they need him and he needs them. so glad he survived it all. and your ankle will heal quickly with all our good wishes -- babblers are a powerful group

12:35 pm

secooper

k i have to go everyone my goal was to get all the 8's and 9's before i had to go and i did :) so ill be back on later tonight bye

12:36 pm

12:36 pm

hi all, back for a bit

12:37 pm

Anniebrook

thanks, cherly and hi

12:37 pm

Dorens

bye sec. Annie, did you read Bel Canto by Ann Patchett?

12:37 pm

cherlyq63

sprained my ankle earlier this year and so know what you mean about getting along

12:37 pm

Dorens

hi cherlyq

12:37 pm

Anniebrook

No I did not, dorens. Should I get it out of the library?

12:38 pm

cherlyq63

hi dorens

12:38 pm

Dorens

it was really good... i am now reading another, earlier book of hers and enjoying it too, but bel canto was excellent. Also, particularly since you're a new yorker, The Alienist by Caleb Carr.. some historical fiction/detective stuff... even has Teddy Roosevelt in there

12:39 pm

o-o

the Iroquois is back in the grid

12:40 pm

Dorens

The Iroquois? babble you get more and more enigmatic

12:40 pm

Dorens

oh! i just realized what you mean, sorry

12:40 pm

Anniebrook

dorens, thanks for the suggestions. will do. I am reading short stories now. Nothing Right by Antonya Nelson is excellent and am reading short stories by Joyce Carol Oates

12:42 pm

chic

hi all! Dorens, would you play me a game of lex?

12:42 pm

Dorens

very good short stories by Jhumpa Lahiri... she has had several published in The New Yorker.. she wrote The Namesake... but her last collection of stories, Unaccustomed Earth is particularly good. and now i'm done with recommendations

12:42 pm

Dorens

oh chic of course i would!

12:43 pm

chic

yay I'll start one ; my is carol btw.

12:43 pm

Dorens

what's your facebook name? (i'm terrible at remembering these things these days)

12:43 pm

Anniebrook

Yes, I read The Namesake and I subscribe to The New Yorker and I believe a read a story by Lahiri.

12:44 pm

chic

carol ashton, dorens

12:44 pm

Dorens

thought so annie... so unaccustomed earth will have one or two familiar stories... the last three are all related and at least one of them had been published, but it seems different in this context. She is a breathakingly good writer

12:44 pm

Dorens

i think we need to "friend" each other then

12:45 pm

Anniebrook

I agree, dorens about lahiri.

12:47 pm

onyx

morning every one, Lahiri gets better with each book, The Namesake as a movie , i thought was better than the book

12:47 pm

Dorens

as a matter of fact.. i only have twenty words left, and I think I am going to take my book down to the lake and finish it. it's the kind of book I've gotten into sufficiently that I care about characters and want to know what's happening with them! then I need to go into the city.. meeting my daughter for dinner

12:47 pm

Anniebrook

bye, dorens, enjoy your day

12:48 pm

wildcat17

sounds wonderful dorens

12:48 pm

Dorens

funny onyx, i felt the total opposite.. maybe cause my kids live in cambridge, so I had good visuals while reading the book, and they changed that for the movie. I just really enjoy her use of language, she does so much with only a few words.

12:48 pm

chic

I'm having trouble getting it started; says you are not on my friends list

12:48 pm

Dorens

ok, that's it... bye everyone, happy babbling

Hi Boo

Boobear

KatieMcG

1:30 pm

cherlyq63

wow nef, that might get them going

1:30 pm

KatieMcG

we have had to 'map' our holidays for the next 3 months, you should have se** the rush to get them booked Monday morning

1:31 pm

Nef

where I used to work, we'd have to put in for vacations 6 months in advance. There were a lot of times people didn't get vacations because of that

1:32 pm

KatieMcG

wow i would not be pleased with that. We get loads of holidays (7 weeks) so have to try and spread them across the year or we have to take December off

1:33 pm

Nef

that's one of the big differences between Europe and the US. Here we *might* get 2 weeks off

1:34 pm

KatieMcG

it was funny on honeymoon we worked out that they were all being snotty about us having a 'small' wedding (90 people is large over here) so we got our own back about the amount of holiday we got

1:36 pm

Nef

We haven't had a vacation in about 4 years; hubby retired in 2006 but I've had an injury and then 2 job changes; so we are at the point of being stir crazy here

1:38 pm

cherlyq63

we get 6 holidays at work and 2 weeks vacation once you worked a year

1:38 pm

westford

hello everyone

1:38 pm

cherlyq63

hi west

1:39 pm

KatieMcG

I think everyone has to get 25 days here

1:39 pm

Nef

hi west

1:39 pm

Bugsaw

In Canada the law says you must have 2 weeks holiday each year. After 5 years at the same place it goes up to 3. I think you get 4 after 10 years but by that time I have already burned out and moved on.

1:39 pm

westford

1:39 pm

1:39 pm

KatieMcG

Hi Westford

1:41 pm

KatieMcG

mine is exceptionally good though. with the new company I will be going down to 30 days, 3 days at christmas and 7 bank holidays but will also be able to take 6 'flex' days a year if I put in the hours (which I do anyway) so should end up with more not less

J. C.

Yes, it's muggy!

1:46 pm

westford

you can keep 'muggy'

1:46 pm

J. C.

It's not actually the heat, it's more the stickiness that's making it feel so uncomfortable - without that, it wouldn't be too bad.

dinok. when you give massages, do you absorb negative energy?

2:17 pm

Wolvie

sorry boo - i thought you were asking. :-)

2:18 pm

dinok

not really, u use the person's own energy to heal them. but you have to take care and protect urself...

2:20 pm

bigger problem is empathy. sometimes I can 'take on' the pain of a client if i really want to heal them.

2:21 pm

Nef

Nef

I've even done thera peutic touch and never felt like I absorbed negative energy; wondered if that was true or not

lack of common sense seems to run world wide amongst some people I guess

4:21 pm

Uneaixoise

i'm just glad someone reported it to the police!

4:21 pm

cherlyq63

my theory is its always been that way we just here it more often now because of more media access

4:21 pm

cherlyq63

so true

4:22 pm

cherlyq63

hear it

4:23 pm

Uneaixoise

there was a case here a few years ago where the baby boiled and died the paramedics that tried to save it said the car probably got to over 100

4:25 pm

Kazzer99

she is cute - is she one of the naughty ones - we had one years ago - looked like butter would melt but she was a little bugger

4:25 pm

Kazzer99

oops wouldnt

4:25 pm

cherlyq63

our police do a safety case every year in summer as it gets soo hot down here

4:26 pm

cherlyq63

she sometimes forgets she's old and acts like a puppy

4:26 pm

cherlyq63

and she can get into things if you turn your back for sure

4:26 pm

Kazzer99

we have warnings and everything but people still ignore them and leave babies and doggies in their cars

4:27 pm

cherlyq63

4:28 pm

cherlyq63

4:29 pm

cherlyq63

cherlyq63

4:32 pm

cherlyq63

if I leave my 14 at home for the day I make sure she has phone, food and someone to ck on her, thats just for when I am at work

4:33 pm

cherlyq63

people need to learn to slow down and enjoy their kids they only get one chance to raise them

4:34 pm

Kazzer99

4:36 pm

cherlyq63

by the time his wife realized it and found child he was dead

4:36 pm

Uneaixoise

it's amazing to me to hear about bus drivers who close down for the nite, leaving a child inside

4:36 pm

Kazzer99

somebody here had their car stolen with baby in the back - she was dropping of something and they just grabbed it - or else they accosted her when she was at the lights

4:36 pm

Uneaixoise

4:36 pm

cherlyq63

he was on suicide watch for days

4:37 pm

Kazzer99

poor bugger - its must be a terrible thing to live with

4:38 pm

cherlyq63

right now they tell people if they put baby in car leave your breafcase or bags in back too, so when you open the back to get them out you see the baby

8:22 pm

redturtlehead

Thanks all. I appreciate all the anxiety that Babblers put up with over the past months.

8:23 pm

Marc Freeman

fe6/36?

8:23 pm

Scrabbler

Trif---best prevention for any illness = live in air-filtered bubble. Realistically: avoid sick people, wash hands before bringing hands to face, get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet

8:24 pm

redturtlehead

washing hands and avoiding touching your face....amazing how often we stick our fingers in places after they were stuck in other places...

8:24 pm

Marc Freeman

I noticed you are a pediatrician Scrabbler, my wife is a doula,

8:24 pm

Trifioso

where are you on the gardisil shot, scrabb, pro or con?

8:24 pm

Minveryork

Hi redturtlehead! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

8:25 pm

Scrabbler

Good for her, Marc---new mothers need lots if support.

8:25 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Minver.

8:25 pm

torgone

Yay red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

8:25 pm

Marc Freeman

fe6/36?

8:25 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Torgone! and thanks..

8:25 pm

pam

that is so true, red and scrabs! People think nothing of doing whatever then rubbing hteir eyes. And we wonder why so many contact lens wearers have issues

8:26 pm

pam

ho, torgone

8:26 pm

Minveryork

Hi torgone! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

8:26 pm

Dianne

Marc - fe6/33 is hard to clue (for me anyway). It means fruitful.

8:26 pm

Trifioso

scrabbs did you see my gardisil query perchance?

8:26 pm

redturtlehead

I am sure I got my recent flu, which apparently I was supposed ot be tested for H1N1 but I didnt know, so I didnt, by not washing hands enough and rubbing my nose.

8:27 pm

redturtlehead

Marc, as your Doula a word for fertile!

8:27 pm

redturtlehead

err, ask. Sorry.

8:27 pm

Scrabbler

Trif---there is a sure way to avoid infection. And the reality is that about 50% of people ages 15-35 are infected, so chances of acquiring it are high. Condoms cannot prevent transmission. Random, casual sex with multiple partners is a sure way to catch it.

8:27 pm

pam

marc: f + s**ond place + not over but ***er

8:28 pm

Trifioso

thanks scrabbler

8:29 pm

redturtlehead

I am going to allow myself to list.

8:29 pm

clues for the nu's?

8:29 pm

pam

nu + d**** the night away...

8:29 pm

Scrabbler

And now HPV is recognized as a leading and increasing cause of oral/throat and anal cancer. Certain behaviors do have potentially terrible consquences.

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

Help with the U words please?

8:30 pm

Trifioso

I agree, but I wonder if I should leave the choice up to secondo, when she is an adult....

8:30 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks got it, pam, I don't know Red what Doula means but maybe Scrabbler does. I have to go now. Thanks all ofr the clues

8:30 pm

pam

I have to say, scrabs, I think gardisil makes sense...

8:30 pm

pam

yw, marc!

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

So, to summarize, Trif---educate your girls, encourage respect for themselves and their health, and get the vaccine.

8:30 pm

pythonx

ty, Pam, got them

8:30 pm

pam

well said, scrabs!

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Marc

8:31 pm

pam

yw, python

8:31 pm

Trifioso

I have heard a lot of conflicting info - it only prevents 3% of infection, it is mostly a victory for the pharm company, etc.

8:31 pm

Scrabbler

I don't know what doula means, but I need one

8:31 pm

pam

I think information enables young women to make empowered choices, including an affirmative no. I am so sick of information filtration that renders them incapable.

8:31 pm

secooper

i got the shots

8:31 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Marc Freeman! I'll see you tomorrow maybe.

8:32 pm

Scrabbler

Trif, the current vaccine covers 70% of current strains.

8:32 pm

pam

isn't a doula a birthing assistant?

8:32 pm

Trifioso

8:32 pm

Minveryork

8:33 pm

un5 is slang for panties

8:34 pm

Scrabbler

Ok, got that un5

i wish i still got an allowance.

8:53 pm

I will if you will!

8:53 pm

It's 76 deg F in the kitchen. And that's at 2.52am!

Yikes, Jac ..

8:53 pm

Thanks Juacula, FInally monkeyed it!

8:53 pm

8:53 pm

ugh, Jac. you need to get a/c or at least a fan

8:53 pm

torgone

Deal, Trifs ..

8:54 pm

forwardbyfaith

sp7,36 please?

8:54 pm

Jacula

We do have fans but I can't sleep with a fan going. Have left Other Half, who can, to it! Air Con isn't standard in houses here in UK.

8:54 pm

Minveryork

Hi forwardbyfaith! How are you? Welcome to the grid

8:54 pm

lbdawger

s + small water feature + double vowel

8:55 pm

Jacula

I'm using the fan in the office sporadically, but have to remember to move the ashtray when I do switch it on. (Remember one summer a few years ago on here when I forgot and my sweaty fa4 got covered with ash??)

8:55 pm

redturtlehead

oh i love ac jacs i dont know how you do it, but then again, i like fans too...

8:56 pm

Jacula

red - it's not often we need a/c in UK! LOL

8:56 pm

Jacula

Central heating, yes. Air conditioning - not often.

8:56 pm

redturtlehead

as i was typing that i was thinking the uk climate is not really similar to me.

8:57 pm

cherlyq63

dont know how much you miss ac till its 104 and electric off

8:57 pm

lbdawger

much the same here in MT, Jac. but i have window a/c units in my office and bedroom. ceiling fans in the living room and other bedroom

8:57 pm

Dianne

I couldn't manage here without aircon. It 92F here with humidity over 65% - great stay inside and babble weather.

8:57 pm

Jacula

We do have aircon in most cars now. My son goes out for a drive when it's too hot in the house. LOL

8:57 pm

lbdawger

cherly, i'd be crawling into the freezer!

8:58 pm

redturtlehead

with you cherly.

8:58 pm

lbdawger

Dianne that's more like what Red's used to. ugh!

8:59 pm

Jacula

The heat here in UK is humid or 'wet'. Higher temps in 'dry' heat, i.e. on Crete, for instance are bearable and don't make you all sweaty.

9:00 pm

Dianne

Our weather is a lot like Florida but with more humidity - I think.

9:00 pm

Jacula

We've been having showers here and not even felt like we've had them 5 mins afterwards. A friend who lives in Russia, suggested we have a shower as hot as we can stand it so that the air then feels cooler when we get out. Hmmm.

9:01 pm

cherlyq63

that actually does work jacula, but it works as well with warm water

9:01 pm

Jacula

She reckons it works. (Does it ever get that hot in Russia??)

9:01 pm

lbdawger

I'm still trying to figure out how weather in Crete is "dry"...

9:02 pm

cherlyq63

we have electric back now and its only 73 outside today, but humid go figure

9:02 pm

Jacula

Dawg - if a place is mainly rain-free, the heat is a dry heat. If a place is green through higher rainfall, the heat is humid and wet.

9:03 pm

torgone

The water gets hot if you wait for it ..

9:04 pm

lbdawger

i was trying to wrap my head around both crete and UK being islands...all that water...moisture...humidity.

9:04 pm

torgone

As with most things in Russia, you have to wait ..

9:04 pm

forwardbyfaith

thanks for the sp clue dawger - sorry I got pulled away from the computer for a few minutes

9:04 pm

Jacula

Dawg - I see, but the conditions surrounding each island differ.

9:04 pm

lbdawger

yw, faith

9:04 pm

Jacula

Torg - LOL, re Russia. Yes, I've heard.

9:04 pm

S/he took off...I was very lucky- I called the National Poison Control Hotline and they orchstrated the whole "rescue".

9:25 pm

Jacula

Maybe, after having the antivenom, your body makes its own antibodies? I assume they meant that particular antivenom?

9:25 pm

Jai, I would be so freaked by that fact that I would be moving to a new place fast

9:26 pm

lbdawger

yw, nan

9:26 pm

Jacula

Venom varies, so - if you get bitten by a snake and then stung by, say. a box jelly fish, surely you'd need a different one?

9:26 pm

jaianniah

It happened so fast thaT i THOUGHT i HAD BEEN SHOT BY SOMEONE...BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND

9:26 pm

jaianniah

Sorry about the caps

9:26 pm

herinfernallady

Live in Australia and even the plants have it in for you

9:27 pm

Jacula

Mind you, if you managed both in a lifetime, you were either Steve Irwin or very unlucky. Actually, thinking how he died - he was both.

9:27 pm

lbdawger

the only sound you'd hear from me would be screaming then me hitting ground in a faint.

9:27 pm

I'm just going tostay inside (with my aircon).

Yes, I have Venus Fly Traps in my forest

9:37 pm

lbdawger

how in the world do you get an infection in your bursa?

9:37 pm

herinfernallady

Mr Pres that is a no no. OH and got to love the fact that funnel web spiders live in water.

9:37 pm

lbdawger

night night, Jai

9:38 pm

Jacula

MrP - if you so don't care that you can afford a new bathroom suite at the drop of a hat, please will you buy us one? Ours is 27 years old and way past it's prime. Also, it's avocado coloured.

9:38 pm

Uneaixoise

jac, i still have an avocado stove :-)

9:38 pm

mrpresident

at the bottom of the pool infern!! kids have to tiptoe through the water looking for funnelwebs before they are allowed to swim

9:38 pm

Jacula

Is this Babble's first begging letter? LOL!

9:38 pm

cherlyq63

well going to take a shower and let ds on computer,ty all and goodnight

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

Jac you still stuck with the Avocado colour? I thought you fixed that? OH UNe that was you with the stove

9:38 pm

mrpresident

avocado colour?? is that like 'kermit the frog' colour??

9:38 pm

jaianniah

It could have come from any of the bacteria that just live naturally on our skin. Other than that, I do not know. It happened so very fast!

9:39 pm

Jacula

Hi Une - my stove is 'hunter green'.

9:39 pm

lbdawger

night, cherly

9:39 pm

Uneaixoise

stove still works :-)

9:39 pm

Mr Pres we had that problem when we lived in Sydney.

9:39 pm

I can splash out on a new bath!! LOL

9:40 pm

herinfernallady

I lived in the blue mountains

9:41 pm

lbdawger

just googled funnel web spider...OMG!!! they look like something from some horror movie!

9:41 pm

Uneaixoise

me too, dawg!!! ohmygod

9:42 pm

mrpresident

dawg, you gotta google the trapdoor spider too! I got bit by one of them not long ago!

9:42 pm

Jacula

Herin - no, other more important things overtook the need for a new bathroom suite. However, I found a crack in the tob of the toilet rim a few weeks ago. Accusations about which fat ar** cracked it flew around the house. In the end, even though my bum is probably the widest, science proved that a more narrow bottom + more weight would have caused the crack. A wider bum distributes the wight more evenly. LOL. Culprit? Other Half!

9:42 pm

Uneaixoise

says some have fangs that can penetrate fingernails! ack!!

9:42 pm

herinfernallady

Mr Pres I had a dream last night that I won that $100 000 mill and I bought you a house and sent the kids were they wanted and every thing. And then I visited all the various babblers and did random acts of kindness. THen i worried what would I do about the kitties

9:42 pm

mrpresident

oh infern! that is beautiful!!

9:44 pm

herinfernallady

It was really odd. I think the fact that they said if you lived on the interest alone it would be about 3mil a year

9:44 pm

Jacula

Une - I'd hang on to your 1970s appliances for as long as you can! New appliances have guarantee of 5 years, but an 'expected life' of 3 years. How stupid is that? Money-making, of course, not built to last. But, with today's climate of recycle/save etc?

9:44 pm

mrpresident

girls, I am in and out of here today... can't get off the bloody toilet, hope I don't crack it!

9:44 pm

9:47 pm

herinfernallady

9:47 pm

Jacula

Herin - burnt orange is another of my fave colours, as it chocolate brown and 'burnt umber'.

9:47 pm

Uneaixoise

i'm sure, jac! Love greens and dark reds

9:48 pm

lbdawger

trapdoor spider, apparently they also exist in California. related to the tarantula...looks more like chtlhulu

9:48 pm

9:49 pm

Jacula

The artist in you, Une? I'm going to rediscoveer my lost artist soon, I hope. Whether or not I get paid again when I do, I don't know.

9:49 pm

9:51 pm

gimmee a break lb

9:55 pm

Jacula

Une - yes. Mind you, I thought he looked nice after the first nose job. After that, it all went down hill. He obviously had body dysmorphic disorder, but no one seemed to stop him. Lots of other issues, too, from his father's treatment of him.

9:55 pm

lbdawger

kiss kiss, ruru

9:55 pm

lbdawger

*poof*

9:55 pm

Uneaixoise

indeed, jac

9:55 pm

rururocks

I think he wanted to look like Diana Ross

9:55 pm

Jacula

I've no time for those who knock MJ without really lookinhg at what made him the person he became, and that's only the person we see through the media, not the one his friends and family knew.

9:57 pm

Trifioso

oh help me! clue for the po 7/8 combo please????

9:57 pm

rururocks

Lots of kids have had abusive parents jac.. and haven't become freaks... I do feel sorry for him though.. I think it comes with mega-star fame... it is a sad life he led

9:57 pm

Jacula

What I've always said, as a 'white caucasian' is that if MJ was my child, and I was black, I'd be worried that he seemed to want to eradicate all trace of his ancestry AND his physical likeness to his parents.

9:58 pm

Minveryork

Hi rururocks!I believe that Janet Jackson looked like Diana Ross at the BET awards. Did you see the show?

9:58 pm

rururocks

It was a plastic surgery addiction and other issues?

9:59 pm

rururocks

no.. I missed it Min.. I meant to watch it

9:59 pm

Jacula

Trif - po7 and 8 refer to the power of something. If you 'can't get it up', you are impo7.

9:59 pm

Jacula

I've always thought that La Toyah and Michael were one and the same. Seems now, they're not.

Ex-hubs wife is now thinking she jinxed MJ. Back in the 80s, 2 weeks before she was due to see him in concert for the first time, her husband committed suicide and so she didn't get to the concert. Recently, now married to my ex, she bought up about 10 tickets for the MJ comeback concert, intended to sell all but 4 on e bay... 2 weeks before the concert, where she'd finally have got to see him live, he died.

name is monosyllable, and is given to boys and to girls - last letter is pronounced when a girl's name, but not when a boy's name. Everyone i've met with the name comes from West Virginia or SE Ohio or Western PA

10:29 pm

Jacula

I was just sniffing my arm. I'm sure you all wanted to know that! I was remembering what my daughter told me earlier today about the strange smell when she came out of a cool shower and then sweated again. 'The smell of lightly cooked porK?' I asked. 'Yes,' she said. Told you we were all cooking here!

10:30 pm

cybernan

hi again

10:31 pm

Jacula

Actually, it's lightly cooked pork with undertones of 'deodorant has given up the ghost'.

10:31 pm

Jacula

Hi cybernan.

10:32 pm

dcseain

10:34 pm

10:36 pm

redturtlehead

High point card, plus smell.

10:36 pm

Jacula

Our nearest genetic neighbour is the pig, so it's not surprising that we smell like pork cooking and, apparently, taste like pork when cooked.

10:36 pm

redturtlehead

SOrry lurking, Apparently I worked out too hard and now cant sleep because legs hurt.

10:39 pm

Jacula

However, I asked a question around the dinner table, bbq table, the other night that seemed to surprise my family. What I wanted to know is why meat from different mammals and birds tastes different even if they eat the same diet...

10:39 pm

Jacula

The meat looks and smells different, also.

10:39 pm

Jacula

pablo - y/w.

10:40 pm

dcseain

differing biochemical process in digestion, different flora in the digestive tract per species, different activities and degrees of activity to body type, differing fibre lengths in muscles, and an number of other things

10:40 pm

This sounds like a good thing DC

10:43 pm

That sounded like one of my explanations when I've got tired of giving the 'real' one.

10:47 pm

Jacula

Most of us in UK don't speeka da good EEnglish. The Queen for the first - though her vowels are not so mangled as they once were.

10:48 pm

herinfernallady

I can speak proper English I just get lazy

10:48 pm

Jacula

She would at least say 'My husband and I' now, rather than 'May Hussband end eye'.

10:49 pm

dcseain

i can speak a clear American English or Castillian Castillian when i try. Mostly i don't bother.

10:49 pm

Jacula

Though she will persist in pronouncing the word 'off' as 'orf'.

10:49 pm

dcseain

how is I different vowel from eye? Here it's Eye St instead of I St.

10:51 pm

Jacula

I! as in 'eye'. I got it wrong, should have said 'ay'.

10:52 pm

Jacula

May hussband and ay.

10:52 pm

redturtlehead

Hey, mkg, when I was suffering from lack of sleep/too much booze at all times of the day/ and havingleft school for too long, I once looked blankly at another writer at a writing conference who had starting talking to me about definite articles. I had no idea what she was on about at the time.

11:50 pm

jillibus

ar6 -- ...over and under and down we go"

11:50 pm

mkg

jac i have heard of definite articles. just never heard of the ad word.

11:51 pm

Jacula

Unless you've been to a writing conference, you might not know that they are more killing to the brain than music festivals with mud and tents.

11:52 pm

jillibus

jac, your bunny with the woffley nose is appropriate for the next theme :)

11:52 pm

Jacula

Is it,jilli? I'll keep it then.

11:53 pm

jillibus

check mine for the theme, jac

11:53 pm

Jacula

Writers' conferences are very noisy affairs because most writers write because they love communicating and words.

11:54 pm

Jacula

They also love drinking, dancing, talking, staying up late, getting up early... the range is huge.

11:56 pm

Jacula

And you can sometimes be misunderstood byy being taken at your word by other writers... I once could not understand why one woman in most of the classes I had chosen to join made a point of complaining loudly if I was 2 minutes late for a class (either as a pupil or a teacher). Until someone told me she was a 'dyke' (lesbian), fancied me like hell and thought I'd snubbed her.

11:57 pm
