hi katie and flosey!

3:28 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:28 am

KatieMcG

Hi flosey

3:29 am

KatieMcG

morning Haz

3:29 am

flosey

hi Haz

3:29 am

Haz1558

Hello - Katie, how's your mouth coming along?

3:29 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

3:29 am

KatieMcG

much better today thanks Haz, going back to work tomorrow :-)

3:30 am

KatieMcG

Hi lynxxx

3:30 am

Haz1558

Good to hear, katie - no further treatment necessary?

3:30 am

Haz1558

Hello lynxxx.

3:31 am

KatieMcG

I will need to get my tooth taken out when I get back from holiday, can't do it before because of the anti-biotics, but not worried about it, after this I will be glad to be rid of it.

3:32 am

lynxxx

another holiday? what exotic place are you off to this time Katie

3:32 am

Haz1558

I had to get a tooth taken out last year - root canal treatment would have been impossible because the root was curved (even my roots are twisted), and the extraction wasn't too bad.

3:33 am

KatieMcG

Having had both I preferred the extraction. We are going to Stalis in Greece for the week lynxxx

3:33 am

Haz1558

Nobody can accuse you of not doing your bit to keep the tourist industry alive, Katie.

3:33 am

lynxxx

looovely!

3:33 am

flosey

Oh Lucky you Katie, I loved Greece

3:35 am

KatieMcG

lol Haz, everyone needs a hobby! we are only going away twice this year which for us is cutting back :-)

3:35 am

Haz1558

And then Canada next year?

3:36 am

KatieMcG

we have had a bit of a change of plan. We are going to the Maldives next year in April/May and then a couple of short haul holidays and then doing Canada in the Summer of 2011

3:37 am

KatieMcG

I have broken the news to hubby that i have promised to do the olympic bob sleigh course which isn't open to the public until 2011 and he took it relatively well lol

3:38 am

Haz1558

Get your insurance now!

3:38 am

KatieMcG

Diem and I whizzing along lol

3:38 am

lynxxx

really - Wow!

3:38 am

Haz1558

It will be an experience.

3:38 am

KatieMcG

hubby took the idea of extreme zip lining much worse

3:39 am

Haz1558

Have you ever noticed that people always call mind-boggling and bone shaking events 'experiences'?

3:39 am

KatieMcG

Blame the film the bucket list, I've become much more adventurous

3:39 am

Haz1558

Is this a long held ambition?

3:40 am

KatieMcG

I went to Canada when they were building it and Diem and I made a pact that the first time I was over after the olympics we would do it.

3:41 am

Haz1558

Good for you! What else is on the bucket list?

3:43 am

KatieMcG

everytime we go away we pick something, we are going to have to see what is available in Greece but swimming with Dolphins is a must as is whale spotting with hubby

3:44 am

KatieMcG

We have done so much since we met it's hard to keep thinking of new ones but we are trying :-)

3:44 am

Haz1558

They don't all have to be death defying, then?

3:45 am

KatieMcG

Oh no, going to see a wonder of the world was one of them

3:45 am

KatieMcG

and I do have a safety valve. I wanted to roller blade round stanley park in vancouver but bearing in mind I couldn't stand up on them we decided that biking round it was much more sensible

3:46 am

lynxxx

did the "A Thousand things To Do" inspire you Katie

3:47 am

KatieMcG

some of the safest things were the scariest. We swam in a cenote in Mexico which was freezing and full of black catfish, really didn't like that one.

3:47 am

Haz1558

I don't have a list or anything, but occasionally on holiday, you do have a moment where you think 'I'll always remember this'

3:47 am

KatieMcG

i haven't seen that lynxxx must look it up as we need inspiration.

3:48 am

KatieMcG

ahhh keep moments. there is nothing as good as having that though Haz and it can be over the smallest things

3:49 am

Haz1558

Exactly, it's as if the moment is etched on your mind, a snapshot memory with all senses involved.

3:52 am

flosey

off to bed again, goodnight all, this time I must sleep!

3:52 am

Haz1558

Goodnight flosey, just don't dream about that bob sleigh!

3:52 am

lynxxx

goodnite Flosey

3:53 am

flosey

that's not for me Haz, those days are long over

3:54 am

Haz1558

Have a peaceful sleep, flosey, see you later.

3:54 am

flosey

for sure, will be back in the morning

4:03 am

Haz1558

Back shortly.

LoriP

G'd mornign Babblers! Shall I take the drugs now, or wait until the first sweep is done?

4:39 am

Haz1558

Hello Lori - no drugs needed for this.

4:40 am

LoriP

This is good news. Heya' Hazaurus!

4:40 am

Haz1558

How are you? Apart from being drug free so far?

4:42 am

LoriP

Life is good. I miss FM. Her obsession with making a living is annoying. How 'bout you, anything new? Plans for world domination?

4:43 am

Haz1558

I know. You'd think she could live on toast and baked beans for a week or two. World domination plans are coming on well. Can't say any more otherwise I'd have to kill you.

4:43 am

LoriP

Understood .

Haz1558

It's nothing personal, you understand.

4:43 am

LoriP

Shirley Ata Hari will be liberated soon?

4:44 am

Haz1558

You'd have to hope so. It feels like she's been away for long enough.

4:44 am

Haz1558

People near those kennels where Hobbit's stationed can't get a wink of sleep because of all the howling.

4:44 am

LoriP

Indeed. Special Ops seem to be lasting a long time.

4:45 am

Haz1558

I maintain that if you get any authority figure involved in a situation, they milk it.

4:46 am

LoriP

Imagine the frost when Ata picks up Hobbit? Delight or snubbed. We'll see.

4:46 am

LoriP

I think the unlimited expense account was a mistake.

4:47 am

Haz1558

I know. Ata and Platinum cards are a dangerous combination. Art supply shops in Oregon are reporting complete buy out.

4:47 am

Haz1558

She's bound to draw attention to herself with all that extra luggage.

4:48 am

Haz1558

Posh Spice will be jealous.

4:48 am

LoriP

Shameless really. With the nature of the mission, she knows nothing can be said. Smart girl that Ata.

4:49 am

Haz1558

She is Einstein's granddaughter, let's not forget.

4:49 am

LoriP

How could we forget? BRB

4:50 am

Haz1558

See you later, Lori - I have to go. Boring things to do. Enjoy the grid!

4:53 am

Hand staying firmly by my side.

KatieMcG

lol dachef, I didn't see if but if I had I would have typed it in!!

10:06 am

Haz1558

You're a bit of a stranger these days.

10:07 am

Dachef

yes, I'm going for the mysterious stranger angle.

10:07 am

Haz1558

Is it paying dividends?

10:08 am

Dachef

nope. but I'm nothing if not persistent.

10:08 am

Haz1558

If at first you don't succeed, keep trying?

10:08 am

Haz1558

Good morning flosey - sleep well?

10:09 am

Dachef

in all seriousness, now that I'm working at home on my computer, in my time off I try everything to get away from it. babble is good in the very early am though - helps to get the eye in, so to speak.

10:09 am

Haz1558

We miss your unique view on the world, Dachef. Don't be a stranger for ever.

10:10 am

flosey

yes thanks Haz, just woke at 8: am

10:10 am

Haz1558

So you've been babbling but not chatting?

10:10 am

Dachef

my view is not unique - its just not very serious is all.

10:10 am

FMitch

Afternoon all
couldn't help but stop by and say hello for a moment

10:11 am

Dachef

i can't chat that much anymore. there are far too many strange people taking things too seriously for me. I want to have fun and laugh out loud at the existence of words like 'fartass' in the grid.

10:11 am

flosey

no just came into babble, haz, I wake up, turn on computer, then go about morning stuff, now am settling in

10:11 am

Haz1558

I wonder if FM is about - she missed out on tenrec being in the grid, she'll be tickled..... and here she is.

10:11 am

Hi flosey and all.

10:15 am

Haz1558

10:15 am

hurshy

10:15 am

crosshair

10:15 am

torgone

10:16 am

FMitch

10:16 am

crosshair

10:16 am

Haz1558

You mean we can't keep quiet for a page?

10:16 am

Dachef

10:16 am

rururocks

10:17 am

EvaNadine

~8-O

10:17 am

FMitch

A page is a relative thing based on how big your screen is

10:17 am

Haz1558

Listen, we've had songs sung in harmony on this thing before, surely we can have man chat for a page?

10:17 am

crosshair

crossy wonder if babble can be page bumped

10:18 am

crosshair

nope

10:18 am

Haz1558

We're doomed. The men will have bigger screens than the women.

10:18 am

Dachef

FmItch: is that a euphemism?

10:18 am

Haz1558

If the page is from the top of the blue slider to the bottom?

10:18 am

Haz1558

And if we ladies take a vow of silence for say five minutes?

10:19 am

Haz1558

And if the men keep talking like mad - I say it's possible.

10:19 am

FMitch

For example mine has 9 log entries right now (given the short sentences that have been typed.

LOL Dachef (a nod and a wink and all that).

10:20 am

rururocks

I didn't know someone could smell testosterone?

10:20 am

EvaNadine

10:53 am

rbud

10:53 am

Haz1558

Is it point worthy, though?

10:53 am

Dachef

We're very proud of you girls for managing to keep quiet for a whole 12 minutes. No-one understands more than us men what a tremendous effort it required on your part.

10:54 am

And on that note, I bid you farewell.

11:35 am

gortmold

i'm told the way to tease them out of one's innards is to dangle a tempting morsel in front of your mouth, baiting them like a fish, dunno if it's true, but it sounds good in a gruesome way

11:36 am

nbjasmine

that explains my 10 yo son's eating habits.

FMitch

Hi BR

11:58 am

Aloyisius

11:59 am

FMitch

We are due to have summer again tomorrow and the day after (yay) high 20s!

11:59 am

hurshy

it's just a little dizzying with 5 A's, 3 T's, 3 E's, 3 S's, 3 N's, 3 O's...

11:59 am

Aloyisius

ooh.. do you have ac?

11:59 am

FMitch

can't remember what that temp is in the proper scale (how quickly one forgets)

12:00 pm

FMitch

Nope no a/c in the flat or the car :)

12:01 pm

FMitch

but frankly don't need it as Brit weather is georgous up to about 75 degrees and that is a rarity

12:01 pm

Aloyisius

we rarely need it either.. as my bro says (he is a Fla. res.), you have "Mother Nature's AC".. free!

12:02 pm

FMitch

LOL

12:02 pm

hurshy

TraderKate

Toronto, Canada...sorry it's not more exotic

For us it can only get better hursh, a little more of the Mediterranean climate will be great (for a while)

12:05 pm

Aloyisius

12:06 pm

Deeha

12:08 pm

hurshy

gorsh, then why do i need so many more S's

12:08 pm

hurshy

it's hot days like this where i'm grateful to have work to go to, where THEY pay for the AC!

12:08 pm

Aloyisius

ouch, Kate.. I've seen people wrapped in wet towels, sleeping on lawns during hot sticky weather with no AC

12:08 pm

FMitch

Urf that is tough TK

12:09 pm

Deeha

Just had to shut my garden door in spoite of heat because neighbour keeps clearing his throat and spitting Blah

12:11 pm

o-o

3 sl

12:12 pm

TraderKate

bye aloyisius

12:12 pm

hurshy

here is one of my old tricks, kate. right before bed, get in a cool shower until you feel better. gradually turn up the heat until it's a HOT shower. when you get out, the air will feel cooler by comparison. immediately lie down with a fan blowing directly on you.

12:13 pm

TraderKate

Nekkid??

12:13 pm

hurshy

if you like!

12:14 pm

hurshy

but you can put on nightclothes first.

12:14 pm

inge

Here is a temperature guideline: German schools close when temp is 30 degrees Celsius at 10 am. That is 88 degrees Fahrenheit.

12:14 pm

hurshy

the key is just to get lying down in the fan before you start to feel hot again.

12:14 pm

TraderKate

it's been necessary, hursh...can't take the heat these last few years

12:15 pm

TraderKate

got the fan going full blast

12:15 pm

o-o

What do you trade, Kate?

12:15 pm

TraderKate

we're i9nterupting BR's clue gathering.

12:16 pm

TraderKate

stocks mostly

12:16 pm

hurshy

he's not gathering, he's giving, so i know what s's i miss

12:16 pm

o-o

Nah, I am just being a gadfly ... sorry to interlope

12:16 pm

TraderKate

gotcha...need to keep up. you folks are quick

12:17 pm

hurshy

so i need 3 sa, 3 se, and i suppose that means 2 so

12:17 pm

TraderKate

interlopers always welcomeBR

12:17 pm

hurshy

and you're not an interloper, you're a regular!

12:19 pm

TraderKate

more time- consuming than facebook, but loads more fun....only second day

12:19 pm

hurshy

sigh... it really sucks that alien species NEVER count

12:20 pm

hurshy

i know, i know, they'd be proper nouns anyway.

12:21 pm

TraderKate

still don't get why it took alma but not ipso (or spam) yesterday... should dictionary be updated?

12:22 pm

hurshy

of course the dictionary should be updated. that's always the way it is.

12:22 pm

TraderKate

i know...suck it up and quit whining...

12:24 pm

o-o

The only rule that matters is to never count on any other rule.

12:24 pm

Deeha

I am alweays amazed it will take wog and poof but not slut??? Sexism???

12:25 pm

TraderKate

not to mention piss/pissy

12:27 pm

Hey everyone. How is everyone hanging today?

1:00 pm

J. C.

Me too, must dash . . . *POOF!*

1:00 pm

ch1212

Now, 'imp' would be from Realms of Fantasy science fiction, or Robert Heinlein's book "Job: A Comedy of Justice" (also science fiction) :D

1:00 pm

redturtlehead

Oh man, I chased all the boyz away!

1:01 pm

ch1212

I did that a lot as a child, red... probably why my first date did not happen until I was 19 ! :)

1:01 pm

TraderKate

love heinlein

1:02 pm

redturtlehead

Well, that probably saved you from a lot of issues....

1:02 pm

ch1212

Me too, Trader. Have read all his work, starting with Podkayne of Mars when I was about 9 years old.

1:04 pm

TraderKate

fav?

1:04 pm

TraderKate

Bounce Gay Bounce!!!

1:04 pm

o-o

I have been slogging through, David and Ann Meet Spot

1:04 pm

ch1212

oh gosh... probably the Lazarus Long books - all of them. Especially Time Enough for Love.

1:05 pm

TraderKate

Number of vthe beast?

1:06 pm

TraderKate

BR you're Just having us on...

1:06 pm

ch1212

ooh, good one! Loved his titles, like The Cat Who Walked Through Walls, and the aforementioned Job

1:06 pm

TraderKate

also loved the kitten too young bto know she couldn't walk through walls

1:06 pm

sprite

Heinlein rocks. Evening all!

1:07 pm

TraderKate

Hey sprite! your fav?

1:07 pm

ch1212

Stranger in a Strange Land is a classic, of course. I remember when it was considered an underground subversive book.

1:07 pm

sprite

one of many

1:07 pm

TraderKate

no one mentioned stranger in...

1:08 pm

ch1212

Oh, The Glory Road! I LOVED that one, and still refer to myself at times as Empress of the Twenty Universes :)

1:08 pm

sprite

I think I loved that book about the Moon most... not sure of english title. Where the Moon becomes a free nation/world.

1:08 pm

TraderKate

ch are you subversive?

1:08 pm

ch1212

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

1:08 pm

sprite

indeed :D

1:09 pm

ch1212

I suspect all Heinlein fans have a streak of subversiveness :D

1:09 pm

TraderKate

How true...vicarious thrills

1:09 pm

sprite

I loved the whole notion of liberal anarchism... the political view of the Professor.

1:10 pm

ch1212

I read Farnham's Freehold when the fears of atomic wars were still fresh, and we were practicing "Duck and Cover" drills, so the book was immensely frightening and thrilling.

1:10 pm

TraderKate

he really was fantastic

1:11 pm

ch1212

And Double Star helped shape my early political beliefs. Such a fun read!

1:11 pm

sprite

Jules Verne, Heinlein and Asimov were my first sf writers. Still love them very much.

1:12 pm

TraderKate

didn't read that one - don't think. what's it aboot?

1:12 pm

ch1212

Wow, I haven't read any Heinlein in years --- I think it's time to start re-reading again. And Asimov was right up there with Heinlein for me. And Arthur C. Clarke, Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, Ursula K., Zelzany, James Blish ... too many!

1:12 pm

joshuavorbis

1:13 pm

didn't like asimov so much don't know why...love verne

1:13 pm

gratz josh

1:14 pm

TraderKate

too many books so little time...sadly i don't read very much any more...life got busy and i got out of the habit...

1:14 pm

sprite

all good ones, ch!

1:14 pm

ch1212

Double Star was about the original story (set on Mars) that the movie "Dave" mimicked. An unemployed actor who doubles for a world leader, and eventually takes on the role. Though in the movie, Dave returned to his old life.

1:14 pm

o-o

what is the distinguishing feature of liberal anarchism, sprite?

1:14 pm

TraderKate

uh oh...Rabble Trouble...

1:15 pm

sprite

a liberal anarchist is willing to accept all rules and regulations somebody else needs to feel safe or happy... as long as they don't limit himself.

1:15 pm

ch1212

I'm jumping back into the grid. Thanks for the memories, all!

1:15 pm

sprite

have a nice jump, ch

1:16 pm

TraderKate

ch thanks I'll go find that one it sounds a bit familliar

1:17 pm

TraderKate

scary in a post 9/11 world sprite

1:18 pm

redturtlehead

hi br!!!!

1:18 pm

redturtlehead

hi sprite, trader, ch1212, etc.

1:18 pm

redturtlehead

the lurkerz, Hi to you too!

1:18 pm

sprite

hi red!

1:19 pm

TraderKate

hey red

1:19 pm

sprite

not to me

1:19 pm

o-o

so I suppose the difference between a liberal anarchist and conservative anarchist are the rules and regulations each is willing to accept as unlimiting

1:19 pm

redturtlehead

sprite is my icon showing canasta?

1:19 pm

sprite

absolutely, ch! Good one :)

1:20 pm

redturtlehead

ok because o my computer it stils shows turtle

1:20 pm

o-o

Hello, H

1:21 pm

o-o

I see canasta

1:21 pm

sprite

the essence is that only individuals can be responsible, not something like 'The State' or "The Government". As far as I know, a conservative anarchist will not accept any rules or regulations at all, while a liberal one accepts all as long as they don't pose a conflict with his own conscience.

1:21 pm

redturtlehead

Yaaay1 I love your ICon BR. My Mom likes to photograph poppies, is it a poppy or tulip.

1:21 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh tulip...

1:24 pm

o-o

so anarchists want no part of communitarianism in the larger sense of preferring at times the good of the all to the good of the individual?

1:26 pm

sprite

as I understood the Professor, the good of the all can come before the good of the individual, as long as the individual is free to choose to make it so

1:27 pm

o-o

If the are three individuals and two agree, may they complell the third to comply?

1:27 pm

TraderKate

no

1:27 pm

sprite

for a liberal anarchist, it is ok if they try. But the third person is free to make up his own mind.

1:28 pm

redturtlehead

Aaarrrrugh, Dog who has been walked is being now barky and annoying will have to walk him again....whine, my legs hurt.

1:28 pm

TraderKate

compliance is a matter of self-determination...you may be an outcast but you have a choice

1:28 pm

sprite

come on red, if he is been walked, he will have to behave :)

1:29 pm

o-o

so anarchy in essence is chaos

1:29 pm

sprite

I believe that is true

1:31 pm

TraderKate

in my opinion there's not much difference... but pol. sci. is not my forte...only VERY casual interest

1:32 pm

sprite

I am very apolitical. Politicians are pro liars. That is probably why I like Heinlein's liberal anarchism as explained by the Professor.

1:33 pm

TraderKate

shouldn't you be BABBLEPHILOSOPHER?

1:33 pm

sprite

I SHOULDN'T be anything

1:33 pm

hi clue on the ne 5 & 6 please

1:34 pm

jacq

heya sprite interesting chog interesting views

1:34 pm

sprite

exactly, grin. And I think Rabble is correct. Very good name :)

1:34 pm

TraderKate

you're right sprite you should be what and who you choose...no one should dictate your heart to you.

1:34 pm

sprite

hi roncook

1:34 pm

roncook

sorry l ment na 5 &6

1:34 pm

o-o

within the city I live in is an incorporated town ... some folks decided to try to save money by incorporating their properties ... spring flooding is a problem ... my city has spent large sums to protect its residents from flooding ... now the incorporated town in our midst is complaining that the flood protection does not protect them ... would an anarchist say, what ye sow, so shall ye reap?

1:35 pm

jacq

if we put all the nonconformists in a boat and sailed them away this world would be a very dull place

1:35 pm

roncook

hi sprite

1:35 pm

TraderKate

always leery of too many social mores that hold people back

1:36 pm

sprite

the world would be doomed. Without change, all will come to a standstill. So hail the nonconformists, rebels and freethinkers! :)

sprite

I have one na6 that rhymes with a thing to put your food on

1:37 pm

ChrissieDee

na5 rhymes with garden door

1:38 pm

sprite

BabbleRabble: I think a true anarchist would have done all he could for his community (of which he is a part), but would not do so because of some rule or law, but because he wants to.

1:38 pm

jacq

hail the nutters too, because without them nobody would look normal

1:39 pm

ChrissieDee

hello all bablers

1:39 pm

sprite

ah, normal! Now that is something really crazy.

1:39 pm

jacq

heya Chrissie

1:39 pm

sprite

hi Chrissie

1:39 pm

roncook

Thank you all

1:39 pm

TraderKate

point of order...what's normal???

1:40 pm

jacq

i agree to a certain extent with your view sprite, but are you thinking more of a social conscience?

1:40 pm

ChrissieDee

we are all normal (based on our own experience)

1:40 pm

o-o

normal is subjective .. if there are 100 here, there are 100 opinions on what is normal

1:41 pm

sprite

I don't call myself a liberal anarchist! But I do like the Professor's POV. And he would probably say there is no such thing as a social conscience, a conscience is a personal thing.

1:41 pm

jacq

<<< ab (solutely not) normal

1:42 pm

TraderKate

old Quaker saying: "Everyone is queer but thee and me; and I'm not so sure about thee"...

1:42 pm

jacq

nice quote Kate

1:43 pm

o-o

did not realize Quakers were so humble

1:43 pm

jacq

lol

1:43 pm

sprite

normal means conform the norm. It is an average. Hence it may not reflect even one single person.

1:43 pm

TraderKate

don't know why I remember that one, guess it must apply to odd ducks like me...

1:43 pm

sprite

lol

1:45 pm

roncook

scottish saying "There`s nought so queer as folk" !

1:45 pm

sprite

ah ron, I love that one!

1:45 pm

jacq

true saying that

1:45 pm

TraderKate

the best...

1:46 pm

o-o

but then the debates becomes what is the norm. if anarchists may self-determine, an average is of little use. subjectivity reigns

1:47 pm

TraderKate

two words : bell curve

1:47 pm

sprite

yes, that would be correct. Which is one of the things I like. Judging people according an average can't be right or respectful.

1:48 pm

o-o

a bell curve is an objective tool that does not take into account the individual's right to disagree

1:48 pm

jacq

surely we all self determine after all an anarchist is only someone who won't comply to their idea of the norm and even anarchists view others as anarchists

1:48 pm

sprite

there would be no bell curve if there were no diversions from the norm.

1:48 pm

TraderKate

but there are fuzzy parameters that most fall into

1:49 pm

o-o

no deviations is highly unlikely

1:49 pm

TraderKate

there is no absolute norm. people are not a series of numbers that can be quantified as a mathematical operation

1:49 pm

o-o

heck, I deviate from my immutable principles

1:50 pm

sprite

deviations. Thanks, I knew I had the wrong word.

1:50 pm

TraderKate

again, subjective...norm varies from culture to culture.

1:50 pm

sprite

lol you do! Human after all, hm?

1:51 pm

TraderKate

no ones principles are absolute...ethics 101

1:51 pm

jacq

the human factor is chaos on two legs you can predict several factors in anything but can never predict the human factor

1:51 pm

TraderKate

chaos theory does na good job...

1:52 pm

sprite

Asimov formulated laws that could predict the human factor, but only for people in huge quantities, never for the individual or small groups.

1:54 pm

sprite

which, for those who know Asimov's books about the Foundation, makes it funny that Trantor is almost in the grid today...

1:56 pm

o-o

Are you doing better today, sprite? How is the little lion?

1:57 pm

sprite

am still in a lot of pain and legs won't cooperate. But Terra is doing much better! He ate almost normally, his eyes are back to normal and he walks pretty good. Not as much ... (word)... ducking through his hind legs anymore. Looks like keeping him from taxing his hips too much is having an effect!

1:58 pm

o-o

Hope you find some relief, sprite.

1:59 pm

sprite

thank you, BabbleRabble. I trust I will, in time. Am being good most of the time, rest a lot, so some reward should be due :)

thanks jacq :)

2:02 pm

sprite

periwinkle: vet thinks there is too much room (?) in Terra's hips, and they are very painful. It might become a condition that is not unknown for this breed. It showed after he had a virus. If it doesn't improve, vet will take X-rays in about 6 weeks to see if something shows.

glucosamine sulphate helps also chondroitin and msm... you can get them together or separately in capsules or tablets...put in food...

3:27 pm

nrkii

yes, and it's the first time I've ever seen my surgeon CHEERFUL... I think it's because he got his braces off

3:27 pm

jmcnrick

I need something to occupy me or I eat eat eat

3:27 pm

3:27 pm

redturtlehead

ha! but importantly, what did the surgeon say?

3:27 pm

periwinkle

what did he say/recommend/nrkii?

3:27 pm

nrkii

se + foot appendages, anagrammed

3:28 pm

periwinkle

thanks nrkii

3:28 pm

nrkii

he said, "so you had a little setback... suck it up, keep exercising, and be patient"

3:28 pm

nrkii

be he actually said it much more nicely than that

3:28 pm

nrkii

he also said if it isn't hurting then there's no need for more surgery

3:28 pm

periwinkle

oh, ok

3:28 pm

periwinkle

at least no more surgery

3:28 pm

nrkii

which is a big relief

3:28 pm

jacq

that's god though nrkii, isn't it?

3:29 pm

jacq

good

3:29 pm

jmcnrick

sound like good news to me

3:29 pm

nrkii

it is very good... it was the first time I have left that office in a good mood

3:29 pm

nrkii

then I came home and got on the phone with NJ Unemployment, and my good mood got shot to hell

3:29 pm

nrkii

:)

3:30 pm

jmcnrick

:-(

3:30 pm

redturtlehead

Eeew, your shoulder is no longer hurting? thats good.

3:30 pm

periwinkle

uh, oh, what did they have to say

3:30 pm

nrkii

it doesn't hurt bad, or constantly red

3:31 pm

nrkii

when I first aggravated it, it took a while for the pain and irritation to go away

3:31 pm

redturtlehead

Well that is good, but the unemployent offcie not so nice?

3:31 pm

nrkii

peri, they're just idiots... they don't know their own rules

3:31 pm

periwinkle

it is hard to deal with idiots

3:31 pm

nrkii

if you do self-employment work, you are supposed to report it, but answer the question "did you work" with a NO (it gets reported on another line)

3:32 pm

nrkii

but on the phone, they were insisting I had to put YES in both places

3:32 pm

nrkii

so now, they think I messed up a few weeks ago, and haven't been reporting properly, so now they're holding up my $ until I have a phone interview with an examiner in 2 weeks

3:32 pm

jmcnrick

petty bureaucrats

3:32 pm

periwinkle

oh, dear

3:32 pm

nrkii

I followed their rules explicitly in the online filing

3:33 pm

jmcnrick

oh no that is so unfair!

3:33 pm

nrkii

but yesterday I had to do it by phone, and that's what messed me up

3:33 pm

nrkii

the point is that if you work a few hours of self-employment, it's not supposed to count against your collecting unemployment... there's a whole formula they use, etc... so you have to report it a very specific way

3:34 pm

nrkii

the way they want me to do it, I might as well not do ANY work at all...

3:35 pm

nrkii

which is totally self-defeating, which is why their actual rules make more sense than their employees

3:35 pm

Matches

clue for first en 7/28 please

3:36 pm

jmcnrick

and quoting the rules made no difference I suppose

3:36 pm

nrkii

en7 28 = to trap, or catch in a trap

3:36 pm

nrkii

jmc, she just told me I was wrong about the rules

3:36 pm

nrkii

and she talked to a supervisor or coworker and came back and told me again

3:37 pm

jmcnrick

did you have a cite?

3:37 pm

nrkii

a cite?

3:37 pm

Matches

ty nrkii that gave me two words.

3:37 pm

jmcnrick

if there is a rule then there is a regulation or law that the rule comes from

3:37 pm

jmcnrick

btw ty nrkii

3:38 pm

nrkii

no, I just have the online form, if I can ever get back to it... I couldn't use it yesterday, which is what started the whole mess

3:38 pm

nrkii

I knew I was in trouble when the phone automated system asked me if I was sure I wanted to answer that way, after I said yes to self employment work

3:38 pm

jmcnrick

step into my office nrkii *pulls out chair*

3:38 pm

nrkii

they clearly don't want you to tell the truth

3:40 pm

nrkii

lol, jmc...

3:40 pm

jmcnrick

try calling your state legislature's office -- of4 they have a staff person who is an expert with these issues and can cut through the red tape

3:40 pm

jmcnrick

the other people to consider talking to is legal aid -- there are always 4 or 5 lawyers there who are experts on unemployment

3:41 pm

nrkii

well, we'll see what happens on the 31st... hopefully it will get cleared up and I can move on

3:41 pm

stidmama

*comes in just to give nrk a BIG (but gentle) hug and wanders out again* holding you in the light, my friend.

3:41 pm

nrkii

but I will do that jmc if I need to

3:41 pm

jmcnrick

if you can get by until the 31st then that is the best plan

3:41 pm

nrkii

thanks stid... actualy other than sudden dizziness, and memories of freaking unbelievable headache at 5am, I'm good

3:42 pm

jmcnrick

but it wouldn't hurt to talk to the legal aid lawyers prior to the interview so that you have your ducks *quack quack* in a row

3:42 pm

nrkii

hmmmm, good thought jmc, I will check into that

3:43 pm

nrkii

I just wish I had a screen shot of their online form!

3:43 pm

jmcnrick

*shining up supreme court bar certificate* no problem my dear

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

well check for the form or get a friend to check each day until you get the screen shot

a bunch of photos of random people marked on the back: north of 36

4:34 pm

4:35 pm

Scrabbler

Not on quiet water, but I would probably bump into the shore somewhere

4:35 pm

phaeton

north of what 36? route 36? parallel 36? or maybe it means older than 36!

4:35 pm

Kazzer99

that is weird jmc

4:35 pm

jmcnrick

they included a photo of railroad tracks and a depot that looked fake that said Abilene

4:36 pm

4:40 pm

Scrabbler

Rain has stopped and sun is out again. How weird to change so quickly.

4:41 pm

I think her older sister or her sister's beau may have taken the photos

4:41 pm

phaeton

maybe someone else took the pics...like her mother or father..older brother or sister

4:41 pm

jmcnrick

but it had baffled me for some time and it was interesting to find out what the photos were

hi red - i'm here - we are in phase one of redoing our basement. first step is to go through years and years of accumulated everything and pack/toss/recycle/throw away/laugh/cry/scream, etc.

7:41 pm

JBV

hi red, hi BR, and hi Une!!

7:41 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, red, JBV, and BR!

7:42 pm

Uneaixoise

JBV, what a challenge!!

7:42 pm

JBV

it's like an archaeological dig down there - the history of our lives, layer by layer, and we are purging mercilessly

7:42 pm

kje

hi

7:42 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, kje :-)

7:42 pm

JBV

hi kje

7:43 pm

kje

very pretty icon, une

7:43 pm

Uneaixoise

tx kje -- a photo a friend took last spring at a gardening show

7:43 pm

redturtlehead

Woow, big job jbv will ne nice when done though.

7:43 pm

redturtlehead

Une it is pretty.

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

KJe, I have a question.

7:44 pm

kje

oh no

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

Its sort of an easy one.

7:45 pm

kje

multiple choice?

7:45 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I could make it that way, or true or false...

7:45 pm

kje

k

7:47 pm

redturtlehead

Is it possible to have like an atheletes foot problem for months and not have it spread....? One spot on my foot itches and I was thinking it could be that, but its been itchy for over a year, and only in one spot. Athletes foot true or false?

7:47 pm

kje

hello?

7:47 pm

kje

o

7:47 pm

kje

hard to know wthout looking at it - derm is all visual

7:48 pm

JBV

red, i'm not a doctor (or nurse) but I have had athlete's foot off and on since i was 8 years old - try some Tinactin on it and if it goes away, it was athlete's foot

7:48 pm

redturtlehead

Theres nothing on the foot. Maybe I shall get some of the over the counter stuff and try it.

7:48 pm

kje

have you tried an antifungal?

7:48 pm

JBV

and yes, it can be confined to one area and not spread

7:48 pm

kje

oh, it just itches, but can't see anything?

7:49 pm

redturtlehead

JBV thats a good idea, I have not tried anything. TOmorro I shall go get something!

7:49 pm

redturtlehead

very very itchy...

7:49 pm

redturtlehead

and the sole of your foot is an odd place to scratch.

7:50 pm

redturtlehead

OK, thanks JBV, Now back to our regularly scheduled babbling.

7:50 pm

kje

unlikely to be athlete's foot or ring worm (both fungi and both treatbale with topical) without anything on the skin

7:50 pm

Pranksome

I've earnt my earnt - pay it babble!

7:50 pm

redturtlehead

Maybe just tichy.

7:52 pm

kje

is something irrritating it? like rubbing when you run or something?

7:53 pm

redturtlehead

No, not that I can tell, have had varieties of shoes, just this week realized it has been that way for a long time. I really though you could have atheletes foot without seeing stuff...

7:53 pm

kje

well, maybe you just can't see it - should at minimal see microfissures and scaling, but you likely can't see the bottom of your foot all that well -

7:53 pm

kje

my recommendation - amputation

7:53 pm

rururocks

I can be irritating

7:54 pm

JBV

without the topical treatment, athlete's foot itch just gets worse and worse, then cracking, etc...

7:54 pm

kje

or you can take JBV's advice and give a trial of antifungal

7:54 pm

kje

*sprays antifungal all over ru*

7:54 pm

redturtlehead

Hi RU!

7:55 pm

o-o

good luck finishing, redT .. time to vamose

7:55 pm

redturtlehead

Actually I can bend up my foot and see it very well. I can still put the foot behind my head too, but it gets a bit stuck there.

7:55 pm

redturtlehead

Bye BR, I only have 2 left.

7:55 pm

JBV

only ones left here are those who can tolerate a fungal chat

7:56 pm

redturtlehead

I tried to return us to regular scheduled babbling.

7:56 pm

JBV

may I introduce a new topic?

7:56 pm

kje

hmmmm

7:56 pm

redturtlehead

please!

7:56 pm

renfield

red - i think aromatherapy should do the trick

7:56 pm

JBV

I have been having a most intense reading experience -

7:57 pm

JBV

decided to finally get around to War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

7:57 pm

welki

there's a fungus among us. hi, folks!

7:57 pm

kje

yes welk - it's called ruru

7:57 pm

kje

an4 after the water buffalo?

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

wow jbv, how much do you cover a day??

7:58 pm

JBV

one of those things i've always thought I should have read but never did - and I can't believe i have lived this long without knowing it

7:58 pm

kje

yay jbv!

7:58 pm

JBV

i aim for about 25 pages a day, i'm almost there -

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

Yay fireworks...

7:59 pm

JBV

I feel as if I am living in the 19th century

7:59 pm

kje

yayayay red

7:59 pm

redturtlehead

Is it heavy? I think I was supposd to read it one summer, but only read bits and pieces...sorry but was 15....

7:59 pm

kje

i need to get dressed - brb

8:00 pm

JBV

it's so powerful in so many ways - as a story, the characters are so real, but it's also history/politics/commentary - all in one -

8:00 pm

JBV

in a way, I think i'm glad i waited til now, 15 years is definitely too young, you have to know about living and dying to know what a genius Tolstoy was

8:01 pm

rururocks

you have been naked here? kje?

8:01 pm

kje

as a matter of fact, yes i was.... was chillin after the bath

8:02 pm

rururocks

8:04 pm

rururocks

I am so easy to impress

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

Ok, I imagine its not the first time that anyone has been neekkid in here....

8:05 pm

8:05 pm

8:06 pm

JBV

8:07 pm

JBV

because I am having a truly awful time with this one, and had forgotten how bad they were before I had the medicine that helps.

11:15 pm

TraderKate

doesn't comp. screen make it worse?

11:15 pm

stidmama

hm. I will have to look at that one, the trigeminal nerve, I presume, since it is one of the ones implicated in migraines.

11:15 pm

stidmama

sometimes Kate -- but in this case it's an LED screen so no flicker and it's okay on "dim" setting.

11:16 pm

gortmold

11:16 pm

o-o

11:16 pm
