1:31 am

jillibus

flosey -- how are things going? I asked before but you didn't see my question I guess

1:33 am

anike

TY all. My husband just walked past and commented - "are you going to sit there all afternoon?' so - unless I can clue anything I had better go and do some work. Jill - I often don't get into the conversation 'cos I'm just sneaking a bit of time in between other things - but I read what's going on.

1:33 am

flosey

oh, sorry jilli, things are going very well with William, more slowly with Sandra, they did go to SIL's mother for a visit today

1:34 am

PAV3

have 35 left and am puzzled...will call it a night and rest p for tomorrow...another exciting day with unfunded gov't ...

1:34 am

westford

anike maybe you should get him hooked too lol

1:35 am

westford

pav are you in danger of running out of funds?

1:35 am

jillibus

just teasing, anike!

1:35 am

rbud

night, PAV

1:35 am

Christine

"get him hooked" - only if you have two computers ...

1:35 am

anike

No - he's not into puzzles and word things and computers frustrate him. Plus, then I'd have to fight him for the computer!!

1:36 am

westford

oh well some of us like puzzles and some do not

1:36 am

flosey

I couldn't believe my hubby would ever get interested anike, but he'll jump in and help if I'm too busy

1:36 am

jillibus

too many es and rs in this grid

1:36 am

anike

I'm the opposite - put a puzzle of any kind in front of me and I can't resist - addicted is the term

1:37 am

westford

could use a few s's too

1:37 am

flosey

an s would be very handy today

1:37 am

anike

Anyway - better go and do some laundry whilr the sun is shining - have to work tomorrow

1:37 am

rbud

my darling hubby avoids the computer at all costs, doesn't know a right-click from a left-click...I tried!

1:38 am

westford

1:38 am

westford

1:38 am

rbud

1:39 am

jillibus

WOW, kazz!!!

1:39 am

Kazzer99

it was for me - been on for about 50 minutes or so. I am getting to like re words!!!!

1:39 am

westford

I'll bet we could sit and chat and not do the puzzle at all...maybe

1:40 am

jillibus

kazz, you're not allowed to say that in front of west and me!

1:40 am

Christine

Does anyone else "see" puzzles when s/he settles down to sleep? Ome nights ...

1:41 am

flosey

chat line isn't lagging but words are still very slow entering

1:41 am

Kazzer99

i must admit if i am having a bad day then i'd rather lurk for a bit but most days i'll have a chat. Main reason for days i dont is lack of time, Only have a brief window of opportunity to crack the pussle

1:41 am

jillibus

all the time, chris

1:42 am

Christine

I really did plan to do so much, in retirement

1:42 am

westford

hi zing

2:35 am

westford

my fil lived in CO for years right near the WY border know that area well

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

his actions saved the lives of several others... the dvd has interviews with some of his group, and they even read a letter his "boss" wrote them... really touching

2:37 am

zingylemon11

bye

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

what really struck me is just how young they look

2:37 am

westford

I'll be sure to get it sounds very moving

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

I think you would like seeing it

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

2:39 am

westford

we started to watch the secret life of bees tonight but our daughter called from CA so we'll finish it tomorrow

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

how is your daughter?

2:40 am

westford

very good wish she didn't live so far away but they are coming here for Christmas we're so excited

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

cr 6/21

2:40 am

rbud

our son got a ticket for operating a vehicle without a license - he was only pushing a dirt bike around! Then the officer came around to suggest that he might want to "see a recruiter" and join up and the ticket would go away. Can you imagine?! I went off! We're fighting the ticket, it's ridiculous.

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

oh, I would be terribly excited.... cool

2:41 am

westford

not sure they'll like the weather

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

that is absurd rb... never heard of such a thing

2:41 am

rbud

he's 18, so I know how young 19 would look...

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

lol west.... they'll have to bundle up

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

is that "legal"?

2:41 am

westford

oh rbud that is terrible

2:42 am

rbud

the officer said he was on the RR right-of-way, and in control of the "vehicle"

2:42 am

melonheadjujube

right column grey

2:43 am

westford

sounds like the officer had a quota

2:43 am

rbud

he got his license right after that

2:44 am

VolleymomDee

sure does... I think I would be having a lawyer investigate the legality of all of that... and to discuss his comments

2:44 am

rbud

oh, he'd love to see our son out of town, he's been a problem at times

2:45 am

westford

we just had a tragedy here our granddaughter who is 20 today lost a dear friend ( I may have told you already) he was driving along and another person who was being chased by the police ran a red light and plowed into him he died instantly

2:45 am

VolleymomDee

still doesn't excuse what he said

2:45 am

rbud

oh, that's awful, west!

2:46 am

westford

she's devastated

2:46 am

VolleymomDee

oh, my... west... so very sorry...

2:46 am

melonheadjujube

how terrible, west!

2:47 am

westford

another waste of a young life

2:47 am

VolleymomDee

truly a waste

2:47 am

melonheadjujube

A young person losing a friend just tears at you. You want their young lives to be carefree.

2:47 am

VolleymomDee

so very sorry for her loss; I would bet she may need some counseling help

2:47 am

westford

I know time enough for sorrow

2:48 am

westford

you're probably right she's been with friends but sometimes it's best to get professional help

2:49 am

VolleymomDee

especially being so young... guilt over still being alive... grief over his death...

2:50 am

rbud

so many carloads of kids have been in fatal wrecks here in illinois the last few years that they have a law now, no more than 2 kids under 18 in a car alone at a time, and upped the practice hours for a permit from 25 to 50

2:50 am

westford

it's really so sad they spent all day Thursday together and it happened the next day

2:51 am

westford

in MA only a sibling can ride with someone under 18

2:51 am

VolleymomDee

wow west...

2:52 am

rbud

I think the police shouldn't have been chasing someone in traffic light areas, west!

2:52 am

westford

that's what I think too rbud I think some heads are going to roll

2:53 am

VolleymomDee

I think Indiana has set some stipulations on car chases recently because of deaths

2:53 am

westford

don't know yet why they were chasing the other guy

2:53 am

melonheadjujube

hint for the co7 that's not a recital or a raising up together

2:54 am

westford

he shouldn't have run away but still...

yes, west had just clued me that re 7, I see how the co 7 would seem fishy, lol

3:07 am

VolleymomDee

I think rbud's clue was best for the te 7/28... sounds like a soup huge serving bowl.... but starts like a small dog

3:08 am

westford

thanks dee and rbud missed it the first time around

54F now .. not a familiar summer

3:21 am

westford

been quite chilly here too

3:22 am

westford

this is the summer that isn't

3:22 am

rbud

we've had a fairly cool summer here, too, and yet the boy insists on running his AC all the time upstairs, darn him.

3:22 am

forwardbyfaith

stuck on the ni6 and the or6

3:23 am

rbud

ni 6 - add the sometimes vowel to the ni5

3:23 am

o-o

have not had the A/C on yet

3:23 am

westford

ty for that rbud

3:23 am

forwardbyfaith

thanks rbud

3:24 am

westford

or6 is hockey great Bobby O** and it's not v*** hot

3:24 am

westford

no a/c here either

3:24 am

rbud

we ran it a couple of days in the bedroom because Hubby works nights and has to sleep on the hot afternoons, but mostly haven't used it.

3:25 am

3:25 am

westford

after the $$ they got from us last winter for oil I don't feel bad

3:26 am

rbud

lots of shade trees around our house, it's a good thing

3:27 am

rbud

oops, I PB'ed with tr4

3:27 am

westford

didn't even notice lol

3:27 am

westford

and I didn't have it so thanks

3:28 am

westford

guess I can't see the forest

3:28 am

rbud

lol!

3:28 am

o-o

this penalty box thing so amuses me .. I understand the idea to be an amusing way to deter divulging words .. but bringing the offense to the attention of everyone only highlights the offense

3:29 am

westford

it's our little way of helping

3:29 am

westford

and the snacks are so good

3:29 am

rbud

awww, it's another way to hint, right?

3:30 am

westford

wonder when it started

3:30 am

westford

can you imagine if this game was cutthroat?

3:32 am

rbud

what an idea, haha! we'd all be hoarding our words and gloating

3:32 am

westford

wouldn't be much fun

3:33 am

rbud

who is it that did a whole work of art of the PB with Babbler's pics in it, so cute! I saw it in their flickr pics

3:33 am

o-o

much has changed I think ... used to be many were very insistent about complying with the unwritten protocols

3:33 am

westford

FMitch I think

3:34 am

forwardbyfaith

how many cr's are there?

3:34 am

westford

I only have 3

3:34 am

o-o

3

3:34 am

forwardbyfaith

thanks

3:34 am

rbud

yes, I think it was FMitch. And we still have that first "sacred" hour, of course! ;)

3:35 am

o-o

ce 5/12; 6/21; 5/12

3:37 am

o-o

that sacred hour thing is rather disingenuous

3:38 am

westford

didn't work well tonight

3:39 am

rbud

ty for the cr 6/21, was my last 6

3:40 am

westford

I need one more 6 don't know which one

3:40 am

o-o

two people start 6 hours after that flip ... one asks for clues and the other says don't spoil the grid for me by cluing .. the same argument made at the flip but with a different result

3:41 am

westford

that's easy enough to fix just close the chat

3:41 am

o-o

same thing can be done at the flip

3:42 am

westford

I mostly like to leave it open for the company

3:43 am

Haz1558

Can I emerge from silent observation to point out that at flip time everyone is trying to find the words at the same time. To me, it's a bit like someone else finding a piece of the jigsaw puzzle and putting it in for you. I'm never here at flip so it doesn't bother me, but I can see the point of view of those who would like to look without being told what to find. And yes, you can close chat.

3:43 am

rbud

ce 6 x 2, co 6, cr 6, fe 6, fi 6, fl 6, ni 6, or 6, re 6 x 3, te 6 x 3, ti 6

3:44 am

westford

hello haz always nice to see you and of course you are right I think tonight was an exception

3:45 am

westford

thanks rbud

3:45 am

Haz1558

I haven't looked back at the chat log yet to know what went on. Good morning/evening!

3:46 am

rbud

it's that rush to post things like "xy 9!" that seems a bit frantic to me - but I admit make note of them all, usually, and hunt for them later in my own time

3:46 am

westford

the usual with people calling out first 2 letters and a number but then it progressed from there I don't think anyone was upset

3:46 am

o-o

I see absolutely no difference --- at what point during the day are there not people all at once trying to find words

3:47 am

rbud

true, BR, we've all seen the same words asked to be clued for maybe 15 min apart for hours, sometimes, by diff. people, lol

3:47 am

Haz1558

I see the difference at flip as being that everyone sees the grid for the first time, at the same time. The rush then seems to be to find the biggest words and to indicate that you've found them. There's more of a race feel at that time, would you not agree?

3:48 am

o-o

those joining are seeing the grid for the first time

3:48 am

Haz1558

And at flip, people are declaring having found words, not necessarily asking for clues for them.

3:48 am

westford

I agree haz

3:48 am

rbud

yes, I agree, Haz, it's race time for sure, and the NBT race, too

3:49 am

o-o

not what I said

3:49 am

westford

sometimes it would be nice if they said hello first

3:49 am

westford

and rbud it's an re that I need wouldn't you know it lol

3:50 am

Haz1558

The NBT thing is relatively new, I fail to see the relevance because it could mean that you have found 25 words or 350. However, it has stuck.

3:51 am

rbud

If chat bothers me at any time, I just switch to "My Friends" - a nice blank, since I have none yet, lol

3:51 am

Haz1558

Poor rbud, friendless in babbleland!

3:51 am

westford

I'll be your friend

3:52 am

rbud

I think of most all of you as my friends anyway, it's okay if it's not "official" ;)

3:53 am

Haz1558

Just as long as we're not in the 'Not my friends' section.

3:53 am

westford

I think of all of you as friends too

3:53 am

westford

haz how did graduation go?

3:54 am

Haz1558

It went beautifully, thanks, westford. The sun shone, the hall looked beautiful and my daughter managed to stay upright (a fear of hers, to go sprawling headlong).

3:55 am

westford

that's good to hear

3:55 am

westford

and did spangle miss you?

3:55 am

Haz1558

We had a lovely family outing with my other daughter and the two proud aunts. Altogether a good experience for everyone.

3:56 am

westford

proud parents too I imagine

3:56 am

Haz1558

Spangle showed no ill effects! Her kennel was called 'Home from Home' so I chose to think of her happily sporting about with other dogs etc.

3:57 am

Haz1558

Yes, westford, there was a certain amount of pride. I managed to shed a tear or two.

3:58 am

Haz1558

Let me see if I can find a photo for you.

3:58 am

westford

thank you I'd love to see it

3:59 am

Haz1558

There, I've changed my icon. Or, I think I have!

4:00 am

westford

I can't see it yet I'll refresh

4:00 am

Haz1558

We're a bit squashed but it makes us look thinner, so that's okay.

4:01 am

westford

very nice

4:02 am

westford

what are her plans now?

4:02 am

Haz1558

She has got a job and is living in Edinburgh, moving flats on Thursday.

4:02 am

westford

that's wonderful

4:03 am

rbud

a very lovely pic, Haz

4:03 am

westford

so many graduate these days and there is nothing out there

4:03 am

Haz1558

We were thrilled, especially as jobs are so scarce these days. It's not a job for life by any means, but it's a start.

4:04 am

Haz1558

I'm delighted she has found work - she is a hard worker and needs to be kept busy otherwise she gets bored.

4:04 am

Haz1558

Thanks rbud.

4:04 am

westford

oh to be young and starting out best of luck to her

4:06 am

Haz1558

The problem with being young and starting out is that she hasn't got the experience to know that things will work out. Maybe not exactly as you planned but it's not a disaster if things don't all fall into place straightaway.

4:07 am

westford

as you say that comes with experience

4:07 am

Haz1558

But I know what you mean, it would be nice to be able to enjoy the thought of all the possibilities that lie ahead.

4:08 am

westford

what seemed so important then doesn't seem so now

4:08 am

westford

and time does fly doesn't it?

4:09 am

Haz1558

Oh, absolutely!

4:09 am

Haz1558

I look at photographs of my girls when they were young and wonder where the time went.

4:10 am

westford

are they close in age?

4:10 am

Haz1558

There's three years between them. The daughter who graduated is 22, her sister is 25.

4:11 am

Soodle

Haz - Have you seen Mama Mia? theres a song in it called 'slipping through my fingers' - It would bring a lump to any Mum's throat

4:11 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Soodle. I'm the only woman on the planet who has managed NOT to see Mama Mia. I must correct that sometime.

4:12 am

westford

make that 2

4:12 am

Haz1558

There we are, I'm not alone.

4:12 am

westford

and isn't Pierce Brosnan in that?

4:12 am

Soodle

I was just reading the chog and thought of that song. If for no other reason, rent the DVD & fast forward to listen to it.

4:12 am

Haz1558

He is. There's one reason I should have seen it.

4:13 am

Haz1558

I will think of you when I hear the song, Soodle.

4:13 am

Soodle

Its meryl streep at her most fantastic Plus the delectable Colin Firth. Sigh

4:13 am

westford

I am going to rent it

4:14 am

Haz1558

I'm not a particularly over-indulgent mother or one who thinks that her children are the ultimate in perfection, but at heart I'm pleased that they have turned out to be civilised adults.

4:14 am

Soodle

West - you won't regret it. Its such a feel-good movie. I actually want to LIVE in Mama Mia land!!!!

4:15 am

westford

I always like Abba and the cast sounds perfect

4:15 am

Haz1558

Is there housework to be done in Mamma Mia Land?

4:15 am

Haz1558

Because I'm realising that it's time I was tackling what's here in HazLand....

4:15 am

westford

take care now it's after 5 here so I'll be off

4:16 am

Soodle

Haz - the blue skys of Greece - 3 very very good-looking men - and a happy ever after. Of course theres no housework. Silly!

4:16 am

rbud

listless fireworks! yay!

4:16 am

Haz1558

So, off I go, back later to find the rest of the words. Chatting definitely slows down the word finding process. (Mamma Mia land DOES sound good)

4:16 am

Soodle

Yay Rbud

4:16 am

Soodle

Bye Haz

4:17 am

Well done Rbud! Bye for now all.

6:45 am

herinfernallady

Mom these live in the garage. they are not and i reiterate not pets. They are for hunting and they are trained to do their job

6:45 am

zoozzoom

6:46 am

mom2han8

Oh, well then... horse of another color.

6:46 am

Atalante

6:46 am

zoozzoom

hahaha

6:46 am

Uniquity

Now waiting for Lickety add bar...babble won't accept my words as I go, so I use expert, it saves everything and then and I spend a while transferring words. Our net slowed down almost a week ago, when someone new moved in. this happened last fall too...ugh.

7:05 am

FMitch

lol you twit!

7:06 am

zoozzoom

hahaha..nice one Ata

7:06 am

Atalante

I forgot :D

7:09 am

Haz1558

Have standards dropped?

7:09 am

FMitch

Utterly!

7:10 am

Haz1558

I can see we need a tightening of belts or whatever you do to standards.

7:10 am

FMitch

lol

7:11 am

Haz1558

I know the Queen gets her standard hoisted but I'm not sure that it's the correct term for here.

7:11 am

Haz1558

Or is it just plain raising?

7:12 am

Atalante

hoisting one's petard

7:12 am

FMitch

we could try hoisting our standards but enable would probably have something to say about it.

7:13 am

Haz1558

Okay, I think we should just resolve to raise standards. Ata, are you duly ashamed?

7:13 am

Atalante

if I say concrete will that make it appear in the grid too?

7:13 am

Atalante

nope!

7:14 am

Haz1558

You must have been a very provoking child to raise.

7:14 am

zoozzoom

oh i have typed it soo many times already..still wil not work though..lol

7:14 am

Haz1558

No remorse.

7:14 am

Atalante

I'm sure my mother enjoyed every second :D

7:15 am

Haz1558

No doubt, if the word had been as overused then as it is now, you would have been described as 'challenging'.

7:15 am

Atalante

except when I fell over my cat and fell down a flight of stairs

7:15 am

Haz1558

And was the cat okay?

7:16 am

Atalante

cat was fine!

7:16 am

Haz1558

That's a relief.

7:16 am

Atalante

it's hard raising a genius

7:17 am

Haz1558

Einstein's mother (your great-grandma) should have written down her experiences to help.

7:17 am

Atalante

she should have done. but she was too busy looking after grandad

7:17 am

Haz1558

Fetching him books from the library, that sort of thing?

7:18 am

Atalante

suddenly I can see why what's-his-face thought I was insufferable!

7:18 am

Haz1558

Zenmed couldn't read sarcastic font, that was the problem.

7:18 am

Atalante

that's the one! no, he really couldn't

7:19 am

Atalante

nor the tongue-in-cheek font

7:19 am

Haz1558

No, nor the 'I'm telling huge lies but it's entertaining' font.

7:20 am

Atalante

you tell lies? outrageous!

7:21 am

Haz1558

Me? Tell lies? Or exaggerate? Me? The idea!

7:21 am

Atalante

unimagineable!

7:21 am

Haz1558

4 question marks and an exclamation mark. That must count as one of my more expressive paragraphs.

7:22 am

Atalante

now you need to work on having 2 together!!

7:22 am

Haz1558

I'd have to ask a particularly exciting question, wouldn't I?

7:23 am

Haz1558

Whatever happened to Sily?!

7:23 am

Haz1558

Was she being prodded in places unmentionable?

7:24 am

Atalante

lol, she was mid-yawn

7:24 am

Atalante

she goes cross-eyed

7:25 am

Haz1558

She looks very cross!

7:26 am

Atalante

even after 3 years, it makes me laugh every time she yawns

7:27 am

Haz1558

You've never thought of getting her on 'Britain's got talent'? Others seemed to think their pets worthy of being seen - all those budgies that wouldn't sing.

7:28 am

Atalante

simon: what does your cat do?
me: well ... she yawns ...

7:29 am

Atalante

when she feels like it. we might be here a while ...

7:29 am

Haz1558

It might not work, you're right.

7:30 am

Haz1558

Although if you kept her awake for nights on end, you might have a better chance.

7:31 am

Atalante

cats ... staying awake ... hmmm

7:31 am

Haz1558

You'd run the risk of a zonked cat rather than a yawning cat.

7:31 am

Atalante

and cats always refuse to do what you want them to do

7:31 am

Haz1558

Okay, scrub the Britain's got Talent. Maybe her future lies in 'Animals do the funniest things'.

7:32 am

Atalante

now that I can see!

7:32 am

Haz1558

Rain! laundry rescue....

7:33 am

Jacula

torgone

I am purely impure ..

4:34 pm

mo

4:34 pm

torgone

Wouldn't mind some rain here ..

4:35 pm

lynxxx

We need it badly, the first 6 months of this year were the dryest - ever!

4:35 pm

mo

we havent had much but we are grateful for what we recieve!!! LOL!

4:36 pm

hurshy

the church of england is good at helping one remember to be grateful

4:37 pm

mo

the gardens are looking a wee bit parched.

4:37 pm

mo

very true hurshy.

4:40 pm

mo

anyway hurshy, have you got the final in words?

4:41 pm

hurshy

oh, yes, i got them right away.

4:41 pm

mo

good.

4:43 pm

hurshy

phantoms (and yes i know they are similar to words that are actually in the grid): interfere, concern, concrete

4:44 pm

hurshy

oh, and inferno

4:45 pm

mo

I keep seeing reflect. Hurshy, I am curious .... why would you want to be British?

4:46 pm

hurshy

doesn't everybody?

4:46 pm

mo

I cannot imagine why!!!

4:47 pm

hurshy

i suppose it is because the majority of books i love are british.

4:48 pm

hurshy

and you can go to oxford like, anytime you want, and it is so much easier to vacation in europe too, and you have national health insurance, and leeds castle!

4:48 pm

mo

ah! I see, because this country is going down hill because of our "wonderful" government.

4:49 pm

hurshy

BUT no matter what government you have and how little they get done (which is the same here or there), they at least sound good doing it, which ours don't always. besides which, they do often actually answer the questions they are asked, whereas american politicians almost never do that. obama excepted of course.

4:50 pm

mo

yes I admit it is a beautiful country, but the NHS is not what it used to be.

4:51 pm

hurshy

i mean, let's face it, the whole world is going downhill, economically and environmentally, and the people who could try to stop it are only stopGAP-ing it

4:52 pm

mo

but our government do not listen to the majority of this country ... they are just in politics for the money.

4:53 pm

mo

our money!!!

4:53 pm

hurshy

unfortunately your lovely lands are going to be getting hotter and so i will probably never be british. i don't rule out going canadian though. i need somewhere cold.

4:54 pm

hurshy

but that is the nature of government, mo. i don't think there is any country with a really good government. at least, i have never heard any average citizen of any country say they have no complaints about their government! :)

4:54 pm

mo

Canadian sounds good as does New Zealand.

4:55 pm

mo

yes I think you are right.

4:56 pm

o-o

the grass is always greener somewhere else

4:56 pm

hurshy

so, enjoy your fab history, literature, access to europe! coooouuuunt your blessings name them one by one...

4:57 pm

mo

I do hurshy but ..... lol!!

4:58 pm

hurshy

what?

4:58 pm

o-o

of course, colonialism and some world wars were not part of that fab history

4:59 pm

mrpresident

4:59 pm

mo

oh its just our cheating government that annoy me so much.

4:59 pm

5:03 pm

hurshy

5:04 pm

mo

5:19 pm

mrpresident

5:19 pm

kje

5:19 pm

Nef

5:20 pm

kje

5:20 pm

kje

5:20 pm

5:20 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

5:20 pm

lynxxx

hi Nef

5:20 pm

kje

hi

5:21 pm

mrpresident

Yes Nef, I question some of the info, but due to the nature of these gangs, looks like people turn a blind eye to it all because it is drug killings

5:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

bill maher = gag me

5:21 pm

kje

they are real, and are bad in some cities, especially further south

5:21 pm

mrpresident

I believe the narcoterrorism is becoming uncontrollable

5:21 pm

Nef

When Gangland had a thinkg about gangs here in the Twin Cities; I kept wondering where they were talking about. It wasn't the Cities *I* knew!

5:22 pm

kje

and there are gang related deaths here in dallas, and the mexican gangs are essentially related to drug cartels, so are very serious shit

5:22 pm

jaianniah

Help with cr7???

5:22 pm

Nef

sorry, jai, I don't have it

5:22 pm

lynxxx

cr6 = idiot

5:23 pm

kje

i lived in b-more, and the wire is very realistic, but i only read about it, and of course saw the consequences in the hospital, but it never affected me b/c it tends to be drug related and gang on gang violene only

5:23 pm

kje

5:23 pm

jmcnrick

the 8/9 have to do with implying/in5/16

5:24 pm

5:25 pm

torgone

Thank you ..

5:25 pm

kje

not that i don't think these shows exaggerate, but i also think it is naive to think it isn't there b/c upstanding citizens don't see it - you wouldn't

5:25 pm

redturtlehead

people tend to think of gangs as chaotic groups of thugs, but in reality they are generally very controlled organizations and not just out randomly shooting etc.

5:25 pm

mrpresident

hi jmc :) didn't see ya come in

5:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:26 pm

jmcnrick

baltimore is nicer these days

5:26 pm

kje

exactly red - that is what is so great about the wire - they demonstrate that nicely - season 1 is essentially a compare contrast between the police and the drug world - each have their own codes of honors, respect, superiors, promotion, etc...

5:26 pm

DTTTM

any clues for the in9?

5:26 pm

jmcnrick

ty red I had just refreshed when they dissappeared

5:28 pm

mrpresident

kje, just scary to me

5:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

work mate was muggedd a few blocks from inner harbor

5:28 pm

5:29 pm

lynxxx

Bye everyone, time to rug up Stew and go for a walk. Have a good day MRP

5:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

in all bigg cities here there are places to avoid

5:29 pm

kje

yes, but simple muggings are just quick drug money... they seldom hurt you - LOL

5:29 pm

jmcnrick

there are places in pretty much every city and most rural areas where you might best stay way

5:29 pm

jmcnrick

bye lynxx

5:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

later, lynn!

5:29 pm

kje

sorry - just realized how funny that sounds, but it is true, just give them your dang purse and walk away

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:32 pm

5:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey i am waiting to here more about those fla folks with all the adopted disabled kids

5:33 pm

redturtlehead

just checking....

5:33 pm

Nef

I know that there are bad areas of most cities; and I know that there is a way to be safe. I just think that *sometimes* TV shows blow things up way too much and people get the wrong impressions of places that way

5:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

they would not be exaggerating philly, unfortunately

5:34 pm

Nef

is it only certain areas of philly, TO?

5:35 pm

jmcnrick

when my son was in HS the teachers at the elite prep where he went actually thought Boston Public was an accurate portrayal of public schools

5:35 pm

kje

never saw boston public

5:36 pm

kje

i have said how much i love my team? they are so cool, red

5:36 pm

Nef

I was at a convention in downtown philly several years ago; down by the convention center and China Town area and really had a nice time there

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

I think I may have a small crush on a new resident that was at Charity hosp in LA before comign to our little place.

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

very widespread. there was just a murder in a celebrated new development built on order of italian piazza. stupid stupid folks live there and think crime cannot touch them. one even talked about thinking he did not have to lock his door.

5:36 pm

jmcnrick

he would say -- yea on episode would represent an entire school district problems for an entire year

5:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

ned there are lovely things in town, there is a special center city police district. more police and city services.

5:37 pm

kje

now red.... leave the newbies alone

5:37 pm

kfreman15m

can anyone help with br 4/6...I can't figure anything out for this one...thanks

5:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

red: we want photos ;)

5:37 pm

redturtlehead

the rest of the new residents are a little putzy, kje, I think I need your team, as the old ones are also putzy.

5:37 pm

redturtlehead

He is not handsome.

5:37 pm

redturtlehead

He is just interesting to talk to.

5:38 pm

kje

i loved philly -- went up once every 2-3 months when i was in b-more - place on south street with killer margaritas

5:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

los serapes?

5:38 pm

kje

my team is eager, though interns are green, but they think everything is cool right now...everything

5:39 pm

kje

br4 - what you say when it is cold (no vowels)

5:39 pm

redturtlehead

thats my nursing student, she got excited when she called report to the floor...

5:39 pm

redturtlehead

The residents are funny.

5:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

handsome is not everything and is in eye of beholder.

5:39 pm

redturtlehead

kje, we had a pt with priapism the other day....gave himself accidently an extra inj of his medication and voila.

5:39 pm

kje

one of my interns got excited at his first disimpaction.... now that is just amazing - LOLOL

5:39 pm

kfreman15m

ah....thanks so much...didn't think about the no vowels

5:40 pm

redturtlehead

that is...

5:40 pm

kje

yw

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

omg looking at surveillance of bollings murders - a terrorist assault!

5:40 pm

kje

LOLOL - now that should have gotten the residents attention - see my interns would have loved that, if for no other reason, for bragging rights

5:40 pm

redturtlehead

So there is the attending, and 2 residnets, and the patient, who is at attention....and they are putting needles in there trying to drain out the situation.....

5:41 pm

kje

ugh - that will teach the guy!

5:41 pm

redturtlehead

I'm giving the terbutaline and trying not to laugh at the residents.

5:41 pm

kje

LOLOL red - i can see it

5:42 pm

redturtlehead

The guy was actually totally nice, he had done the inj. without wearing his glasses, and wasnt sure but decided he may have drawn up to much.

5:42 pm

Nef

LOL! red, by the time I figured out how to spell Terbutaline, you answered my question

5:42 pm

redturtlehead

it was pretty clear he had, he had had the attention stance for like 9 hours....

5:43 pm

Nef

wow. that's a long time

5:43 pm

jmcnrick

aaarrrrggghhhhh

5:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

ahand as the ads say, serious

5:43 pm

kje

do you really believe it was an accident? guys are such doofs, he probably thought he'd see what happened

5:44 pm

redturtlehead

I wonder if he wasnt exaggerating.

5:44 pm

kje

like the... i sat on a squash story

5:44 pm

o-o

and gals are just perfect in every way hahahahaha

5:45 pm

kje

no, br... but they tend to do different things

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

I do actually, the guy was not very sleazy, he was respectful and very honest about what was going on....

5:45 pm

Nef

LOL! at least a squash is better than the lightbulb story!

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

BR, I saw photos of your Red River today for an hour.

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

I came home to be able to babble client fr4 and two counselors in NM just called me.

5:45 pm

kje

i have yet to take any foreign bodies out of women in quite that same way

5:46 pm

kje

they usually aren't sleazy, just embarrassed and curious

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

kje, We had a woman almost die from inserting a wine bottle that then broke.

5:46 pm

o-o

how about silicone for boob jobs

5:46 pm

Nef

how did she break it (or shouldn't I ask?

5:46 pm

jmcnrick

it is usually a different and more easily escapable orifice for women

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

Muscle contraction Nef, it was terrible.

5:47 pm

jmcnrick

sounds terrible red

5:47 pm

Nef

yowwser!

5:47 pm

kje

that is horrible, serious injuries people do to thenselves

5:47 pm

kje

but red, compared to how many incidences with men?

5:47 pm

jmcnrick

new topic new topic

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

We have about equal amounts of things like Hairspray containers etc.

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

and yes, BR...if you are still there, the disaster response in Fargo was portrayed very nicely, who knew you could use air boats on ice.

5:48 pm

o-o

all bow to kje

5:48 pm

kje

sorry, i forget it grosses some people out - just work to me

5:49 pm

kje

what is that about BR?

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

did you know jmc you can use an air boat on ice?

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

and yet I can tell stories about war and killing with equal aplomb

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

and if you respond to a disaster in Fargo, you look like Santa Claus?

5:49 pm

o-o

you figure it out

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

just had a very bad week dealing with mother and the medications so am a very sensative girl tonight

5:50 pm

redturtlehead

desperately trying to change subject. Fixes jmc a nice xuppa tea.

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry, jmc. and hi brab

5:50 pm

redturtlehead

rather cuppa.

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

ty red no sugar

5:50 pm

redturtlehead

Is mother improving JMC?

5:50 pm

kje

wow

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

no she is losing ground rapidly

5:51 pm

kje

sorry to hear that jmc

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

the hospital took all the medications she ever took and gave them to her plus a sedative

5:51 pm

Nef

what's going on? I thought she had a UTI??

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no, Medication Reconciliation gone wrong.

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

they didn't help her walk but left her in the wheelchair and then offered to feed her rather than for her to feed herself

5:51 pm

kje

oh crap, jmc -

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

she was hallucinating because of the UTI

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

she needskje and the team of residents.

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

so we moved her to this expensive highly regarded nursing home for rehab on thurs

5:52 pm

Nef

I remember that. I thought she'd clear up once they got that treated though

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

we went back on Sunday and she didn't know either of us or her own name

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no!

5:53 pm

Nef

DRAT!!!

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

I found out she had been sitting and sleeping with her hearing aids in with dead batteries so she couldn't hear anyone

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

so the nurses just assumed that she was another dementia patient and let her sit like that

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

not fair.

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

I was soooooooooooo ANGRY

5:54 pm

Nef

OMG!

5:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

crap. it is a full time job supervising the staff when someone is in med care

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

I wrote a crisp email to her DR and a crisper phone message to the PA

5:54 pm

kje

jmc, which hospital?

5:54 pm

redturtlehead

appropriate jmc.

5:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

i had an aunt in country hospital and badly as she was treated, those who had no visitors/advocates were worse off

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

found out that in spite of everything we were told when we checked her in they just CONTINUED ALL the meds the hospital had used.

5:55 pm

Nef

I've been very protective and proactive with my elderly relatives when they are admitted. This is terrible!

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

Sibley locked ward and now a NH connected to Johns Hopkins

5:56 pm

kje

the care center?

5:56 pm

kje

Geri Care Center at Bayview?

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

I visted her every day in Sibley and only waited to visit her in the NH because they recommended she have acouple of days to settle in.

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

Copper Ridge in Sykesville

5:56 pm

redturtlehead

One thing I wish is that Nursing homes would leave off sending a Med rec that is barely readable.

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

sorry I am yelling but every time I think of it I get angry all over again.

5:56 pm

redturtlehead

And that patients, bless their hearts, would nto bring in any medication bottle they happen to have laying roung.

5:56 pm

kje

oooooohhh - OK, I was about to be shocked

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

I did elder law for20 years for christs sake

5:57 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, it would make me angry too.

5:57 pm

jmcnrick

what do you mean kje?

5:57 pm

kje

Copper Ridge is hardly affiliated with JH - they have a few neurologists that go out there a couple times/week, but that is all

5:58 pm

Nef

jmc, you can report this to the state dept. of health

5:58 pm

jmcnrick

they have a program for mental illness in the elderly

5:58 pm

kje

i mean, if that happened at the care center, i would have called someone on your behalf, cuz that would be outlandish there

5:58 pm

jmcnrick

I may just do that

5:58 pm

redturtlehead

May I have a clue for the Y word?

5:58 pm

jmcnrick

where is the care center?

5:58 pm

kje

at Bayview, in Baltimore

5:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

big foot

5:58 pm

jmcnrick

snowman red

5:59 pm

Nef

red, it's the big hairy guy

5:59 pm

redturtlehead

Thanks TO.

5:59 pm

jmcnrick

it takes me an hour+ to get to this place

5:59 pm

redturtlehead

and Jmc and nef....

5:59 pm

jaianniah

I am missing a t4. I have 2 te; 2ti; 2ty; 1tr. What am I missing?

5:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

*sigh* lots of words are hiding..stopeed dead with 24 to go

5:59 pm

jmcnrick

it is an extremely well run place to all appearances (and beleive me I know what to look for)

5:59 pm

kje

jmc - JH has nothing to do with the NH at Copper Ridge - there is a couple neurologist who specialize in dementia who see patients out there, but they are not the primary docs seeing normal patients

6:00 pm

jmcnrick

there are at least three te

6:00 pm

kje

it is a beautiful facility, yes

6:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

time for me to do something, a walk wouldbe best. or dinner.

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

the webpage even says they are affiliated with JH - grrr

6:01 pm

kje

you could request she be seen by a geriatrician and see if that helps, but none of the JH geriatricians go out there

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

have you finished the grid TO?

6:01 pm

Nef

jmc, there is a national site to report this to also here: http://www.ismp.org/ It's the Institute for Safe Medication Practices. I used it when a doctors' office OD'ed an uncle with digoxin

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

kje may i ask a question? my dad had med for heart that causes his eyes to dry out and tear constantly. he is daubing at them and they are all discolored. can't they adjust meds?

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

ty nef I will consult with my sisters

6:02 pm

kje

yes, places love to boast about their connection with any university program, but the relationship os loose at best, but either way, I think you can talk with her doc and get things straightened out... I am so sorry that happened, especially in a NH where they should know better

6:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

hewill say " i need med for heart to live" but meantime he is really looking bad

6:02 pm

Nef

what's the med, TO?

6:03 pm

jmcnrick

well the good thing is my sister is going out on weds. And I will be back out on Sunday

6:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh...that would help, wouldn't it? he won't tell me

6:03 pm

jmcnrick

she will never go more than a couple of days with out one of us there

6:03 pm

kje

TO, I do not know the med ort his condition, but yes, most meds can be adjusted, and I cannot think of any heart med that usually causes eyes to tear (doesn't mean that it doesn't in him, just not a common side effect) talk to his doc

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

he has just become so stubborn. our relationship has fractured.

6:04 pm

Nef

there are eye drops that are long term eye moisteners that may help if he's so insistant on taking that med

6:04 pm

kje

stubborn is OK, keeps him alive... I like stubborn old people - LOL

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

he has drops. eye doctor says it's internal med drying them and causing overreaction

6:04 pm

Nef

I couldn't think of any heart med that would have that effect either, kje

6:05 pm

jmcnrick

gentelgel eye moistener is the best available over the counter for that (been getting for Mother)

6:05 pm

redturtlehead

me neither, but...I dont know that much you know....

6:05 pm

jmcnrick

ty TO, Nef, Red and kje for listening to me

6:06 pm

jmcnrick

I feel better now

6:06 pm

kje

TO - there are great geri programs in Pitt and Philly (can't remember where you are) - take him to see a geriatrician, we love stopping meds when we can ; )

6:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

why put in drops when they tear too much?

6:06 pm

kje

no prob, jmc, just so sad that it happened

6:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

kje, he is in no nj

6:06 pm

kje

and unfortuantely all too common

6:06 pm

jmcnrick

I am going to take a break and watch wheel and jeopardy bbl

6:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes jmc gald to listen.

6:07 pm

Nef

take care jmc. Oh. You might want to call that NH DAILY for now for daily updates

6:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

we saw each other this weekend and words were exchanged over this. i feel that the father i knew is gone.

6:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi guys, i have 10 spare minutes, weeeee!

6:08 pm

Nef

TO, you said the heart med dries his eyes out and then he has too many tears?

6:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is what HE says

6:09 pm

kje

TO - please do not take this wrong, but I wouldn't argue with him about this stuff - it isn't worth it. Find a doc you trust, discuss issues with them, and then let the doc argue with him about what is most important - too many kids end up in an adversarial relationship at the end when roles switch - it generally isn't worth it and is often regretted

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

well i cannot talk with his dr...not sure how i can do this.

6:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have been just avoiding. i am an avoider by nature.

6:11 pm

kje

sure you can... go to his next appt with him, or ask the doc to call you, the doc may not discuss some stuff with you if they feel the patient doesn't want it, but they usually listen to your concerns and can look into the situation next visit

6:11 pm

Nef

{{{TO}}} please be kind to yourself --and him

6:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

to the point where i drove home after party sat late to avoid being there with him

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

he will bristle at that, kje.

6:12 pm

kje

the doc, or dad?

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

dad.

6:12 pm

kje

either could - LOL

6:13 pm

Nef

do you know his doctor? Just call his office and say you are concerned about how his eyes look

6:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is the role revesal thing but he does not do it with my brother.

6:13 pm

kje

then TO, choose whether you feel this is so important that you want to lose what time you have left with him, b/c in the end, that is what it comes down to... every battle is not worth fighting

6:13 pm

Nef

you could be avoiding direct confrontation that way and showing concern

6:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

i sat with my mom till she died, giving injections and all., but this i cannot handle.

6:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

and no one was more firecely independent than she.

6:14 pm

Nef

role reversals are pretty much for care-takers; and that *usually* means the women in the family

6:14 pm

kje

btw, if you really think his personality has changed that much or he is unusually irrutable, that is another reason to go to the doc with him or call the doc - is often a sign of depression or early dementia in an older adult

6:15 pm

kje

irritab;e

6:15 pm

Nef

yep

6:15 pm

kje

irritable - sheesh

6:15 pm

Nef

that's okay kje, you'll get it right yet

6:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

i believe you are spot on kje. but i have been told many heart meds have those effects

6:16 pm

kje

eye dryness???? hmmm, not usually - depression, yes occasionally

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

and too many times docs just chalk it up to age. i do not have to tell you that, that's why your filed exists.

6:16 pm

Nef

if they are anticholinergic side effects, they can. BUT most of thiose meds shouldn't be given to geriatric pts.

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

also your FIELD

6:17 pm

Nef

(amiodarone, etc0

6:17 pm

kje

then, find a geriatrician - there is a NJ geriatric society as well as the american geriatric society that may be able to give you a list of people in his area

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

how do i get him there? he has complete faith in his doctors.

6:17 pm

jaianniah

I have something strange going on... according to Lickety's clues, I have all the t's, yet my grid says I am missing one. I have re-entered them twice. It is the "T" in the top row. Help!

6:18 pm

kje

if he listens to your brothers, enlist their help... and it doesn't mean changing docs, you can get a geriatric assessment from a geriatrician and they will send it to his PMDs and he can still see them

6:19 pm

jaianniah

It is a T4 but I have them all.???

6:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

sigh, or just as has been suggestged, let it go and try to enjoy the time

6:19 pm

kje

hmmm,jan - try refreshing

6:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

time to go, wishing TO good luck, bye all

6:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

time for me to go. ngiht everyone

6:20 pm

kje

yes TO... while you would prefer he get optimal care, it is sometimes more important to just enjoy the time you can - in the end, it is his choice (unless he is demented)

6:20 pm

jaianniah

I just refreshed- no luck!

6:20 pm

kje

reboot

hospice is such a blessing

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

8:23 pm

dcseain

yes, yes it is JMC :)

8:23 pm

lbdawger

takes some really special people to do hospice work.

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

the thing is when you are dying of old age you lose your appetite as part of the process to allow you to die peacefully

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

I was sorry in a way my husband wasn't able to do hospice

8:24 pm

dcseain

that rather makes sense, jmc

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

on the other hand he died at home

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

I did elder law for 20 years

8:25 pm

lbdawger

hospice wouldn't come to your home?

8:25 pm

jmcnrick

I order the plug pulled for many people

8:25 pm

big red

Nef, it's like open your front door and walk into a heated oven. we should get a "cold front" by the end of the week..around 92 degrees

8:25 pm

jmcnrick

when I ordered it pulled for my husband I quit doing elder law

8:25 pm

dcseain

my father wanted to die at home, but the health ins co wanted to pay 3x as much to put him in a nursing home. :/

8:25 pm

jmcnrick

you have to work hard to die at home these days

8:25 pm

dcseain

my dad died the day the court was to order him disconnected..

8:26 pm

dcseain

yes you do, and that's shame

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

we had to have the doctor come before we called the EMT so that they did not resuscitate him

8:27 pm

jmcnrick

but he died with his family around him and me watching him take his last breath

8:27 pm

dcseain

:) nice that, painful as i know it was for yall

8:27 pm

lbdawger

that's some comfort to have family there.

8:27 pm

jmcnrick

my sister in law went down stairs and said -- Rick just died and I think it was that last chorus of Michael row the boat ashore that did it! lol

8:27 pm

Nef

{{{jmc}}} that is hard to do. But it is also something that is very kind and peaceful too

8:28 pm

lbdawger

lol jmc

8:28 pm

jmcnrick

when the police came I asked them if they had a warrrant (years of training dies hard)

8:28 pm

dcseain

and what had he police to say to that, jmc?

8:29 pm

Nef

after 40 years of nursing I firmly believe people go at their own time and choosing if we let them

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

they said nothing but looked surprise -- I said O that's right I called you

8:29 pm

lbdawger

why the police?

8:29 pm

dcseain

yes they do, nef

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

then I went up stairs and sat next to my husband and whispered in his ear saying I won't leave you alone with them

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

the police always come to a home death

8:29 pm

dcseain

my Tom works in ICU, and i know he agrees with that, Nef

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

the police officer looked at me oddly and I said I konw I am acting strange but my husband just died and I think I am entitled

8:30 pm

Nef

I did 34 years of ICU, dc. I'm now working on the other end of life

8:30 pm

Nef

jmc, you were entitled to act however youwished

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

and the police officer said "ues, ma'am" and left.

8:31 pm

Trifioso

good evening babble friends. JMC, I didn't realize that you had lost your hubs in such a manner. I am so sorry, dear one!

8:31 pm

dcseain

nice change that must be, nef

8:31 pm

dcseain

indeed, what Nef said, jmc

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

long time ago but a good story about how people are meant to die

8:31 pm

lbdawger

amen to that, Nef

8:31 pm

Bugsaw

Great story jmc. So many people are afraid of death and your story tells us how gentle it can be when people are ready

8:32 pm

jmcnrick

it was in many ways very sweet

8:32 pm

Bugsaw

I was with my father and it was very sweet. One of my best memories

8:33 pm

Nef

Bugs, I have seen some beautiful deaths of both patients and also our family members. I really think our society is messed up because of the way we act about death

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

okay I will start to cry into my bourbon if I don't focus on Babble

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

I need lots of F words

8:34 pm

dcseain

*offers some chips to go with your bourbon*

8:34 pm

Bugsaw

I totally agree Nef. It is a joy to be with people who are ready.

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

*splash*

8:34 pm

Nef

I'm short 5 F words too, jmc.

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

*coming back up for chips* ty dc!

8:34 pm

Bugsaw

Have some salsa and dip with those chips jmc

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

I am short about 10!

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

ooo is the salsa spicy???

8:35 pm

Nef

does salso go with bourbon?

8:35 pm

lbdawger

have you been performing, DC? looking at your icon.

8:35 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for te6-21? Thanks

8:36 pm

jmcnrick

8:36 pm

Nef

8:36 pm

lbdawger

te5 with an extra letter at the end, Peach

8:36 pm

jmcnrick

10:33 pm

rbud

I was raving in here last night about a cop who gave our son a ticket for pushing his dirtbike - "operating a motor vehicle without a license" - ridiculous. Then came by to suggest that if our son would see a recruiter the ticket might go away. I went off on him.

10:34 pm

jmcnrick

that is suppose to be illegal but. . . the fact is that lots of cops are reserve and recruiters

10:35 pm

jmcnrick

personnally I would rather have my son have a felony conviction than join the miltary

10:37 pm

But all he was doing was pushing the thing! He ran with it down beside our house, trying to push start it, didn't work, was pushing it back. And we happen to live next to the tracks. So, he was "on RR property" and trespassing, according to the cop. So he gave him the ticket. Should have only been for the trespassing, I think.
