12:46 am

flosey

I've heard of it being done but never tried it

12:52 am

jillibus

wtg pav :)

12:53 am

jillibus

dee, I think this one is a version of an old-fasioned rose. It's a shrub rose, lots of blooms all season

12:53 am

renfield

that's a beautiful rose too flosey. i grew talisman. mirandies, and cardinals in texas. have not started a rose garden here. my mom taught me house to plant from cuttings.

12:53 am

flosey

yes, a bit but your's is a much fuller rose

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

don't you think graper (one who cares for gr..) should be a word

12:55 am

jillibus

absolutely, dee!

12:55 am

jillibus

and ty for the gr5, btw

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

makes as much sense as others I have seen :)

12:55 am

flosey

and thanks dee, didn't have that

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

I think the talisman rose is one of my very favorites

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

yw jili

12:56 am

jillibus

must check on talisman roses...

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

and gr 7 gili for more gr 5...

12:56 am

flosey

wouldn't have thought of that Dee, thanks

12:57 am

jillibus

omg, dee!

12:57 am

mymuseisme

I wish roses would grow along a brick wall with little sun, then I could learn how to do it ... I feel deprived.

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

my monkey found that one flosey lol yw

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that muse... our trees shade our planting area too much now :( makes me sad... would love to "whack down" those trees...

12:58 am

jillibus

yes, muse, that's my worry -- that I don't have the right sun for the Little Darling

12:58 am

flosey

but your garden is so lush jilli, can't imagine it not doing well

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

you should both develop an outside "sunlamp" for roses :)

12:59 am

mymuseisme

would that work for a skysc****** Dee?

1:00 am

jillibus

flosey, I'm told roses need full sun and my sunniest spots are full of other things

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

lol prob not muse

1:00 am

flosey

ah yes, your garden is quite full - and beautifully so

1:01 am

mymuseisme

I have thought of trying that btw Dee for some other plants.

1:01 am

jillibus

I get a lot of shade and the lushness is because of top dressing and an irrigation system

1:01 am

flosey

well worth the work involved jilli

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

our "baby" trees have all grown into monsters; I really miss my direct hot sun...

1:02 am

jillibus

I take very little credit for my garden -- Nicola gets the full amount

1:02 am

mymuseisme

oh well, must force myself to sleep. Yoga in am, then have to start packing my son's things for college, who seems to think it can be done in 5 minutes. Typical male response.

1:03 am

jillibus

teach him to pack, muse!

1:03 am

renfield

my talisman only had morning sun and my mirandies and caridnals had full sun

1:03 am

mymuseisme

He has the summer things packed jilli. He's just not thinking of change of weather items, first aid stuff, etc.

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

lol muse our daughter did that also her 2nd year... her first year she started packing the day she graduated from high school lol

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

1:04 am

jillibus

you can send him care packages ;)

1:04 am

jillibus

1:34 am

jillibus

shivs, do you know about Lickety's list and morewords?

1:34 am

flosey

wow, look at all the cas, don't have any

1:34 am

jillibus

I always do, flosey

1:35 am

Shivs Fitz

Yes, jillibus...learned about them when I first tried this.

1:35 am

Shivs Fitz

I keep hoping to finish one on my own...doubt I will.

1:36 am

flosey

but now must to bed, before head exploded

1:36 am

jillibus

dee, I bet my neck is cr7 than yours!

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

LOL doubtful... good one

1:36 am

flosey

a lot do Shivs, the only time I do is when Lickety's list isn't available

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

if in doubt add ier to anything today...

1:37 am

Shivs Fitz

I've heard about you, jillibus. You are connected to a friend of ours? He said he knows you from here.

1:37 am

Just1Mar

this is also very helpful and useful... http://www.andrewbuchan.co.uk/babble/

1:37 am

Shivs Fitz

I am checking his list, to find you.

1:38 am

jillibus

shivs, I've never finished a biggie listless -- maybe once or twice a tiny one, with lots of help from geniuses like volleymomdee

1:38 am

jillibus

I think so, shiv -- wondered aout that when I read your bio

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

yipes not a genius here... just tenacious... dart, anike, angel... they are the true geniuses

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

I'd never finish without morewords and lots of time to waste

1:39 am

Shivs Fitz

Yes I see you I think, Jill?

1:40 am

Shivs Fitz

If you're in Salt Spring Island, BC, then I've found you.

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

but you will get better and better as you play shivs

1:40 am

jillibus

Yes indeed, shiv :)

1:40 am

Shivs Fitz

LOL, you have an invitation.

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

in the beginning jili and just were my best encouragers :)

1:41 am

jillibus

will reply when it arrives, shivs

1:41 am

Shivs Fitz

I think it goes to your Yahoo! Mail.

1:42 am

jillibus

golly, dee, you've certainly surpassed me!

1:42 am

Shivs Fitz

Any I'm sent do.

1:42 am

Shivs Fitz

Sorry VolleymomDee...I hope so!

1:42 am

jillibus

I'll have a look, but sometimes that's announced in my regular mail

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

you are really great at knowing definitions, usage, etc.... jili... respect all of your knowledge and great info you put with your icons

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

new word pe 7/40

1:45 am

Shivs Fitz

I should put up a photo of my mum.

1:45 am

jillibus

shivs -- I just goofed -- wanted to accept and clicked the x which made it Ignored -- please try again!

1:46 am

Shivs Fitz

I'm grateful she's still with us! She was diagnosed with the beginning stages of emphysema a few years ago and quit her smoking on the spot, as soon as the doctor told her. She threw her cigarettes in the bin in the exam room and never touched another one. That's probably why she's still here. She was a heavy smoker for most of her adult life!

1:47 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh okay I'll do it again, Jill.

1:47 am

Shivs Fitz

Just sent another...hope you get it?

1:48 am

jillibus

I hope it's not Igonred, shivs!

1:48 am

Shivs Fitz

What do you mean?

1:49 am

jillibus

I had got one from Fauxmage earlier

1:49 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh that's Laura...do you know her?

1:50 am

jillibus

I mean when I clicked on the x to Accept it apparently was the wrong thing to do and up came Ignored, with block this underneath, so I hope your next invitation will come through.

1:50 am

Shivs Fitz

It should, as long as you didn't block me?

1:50 am

jillibus

I don't relly know Laura, only through our mutual friend (everyody here knows him too)

1:51 am

Shivs Fitz

Or you can go to my page and send me one?

1:51 am

Shivs Fitz

http://profiles.yahoo.com/shivsfitz

1:51 am

jillibus

I didn't intend to block you and didn't click on that

1:51 am

Shivs Fitz

It should work then.

1:52 am

Shivs Fitz

Laura is pro on here now so you will probably get to know her.

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks

1:52 am

Shivs Fitz

She is a lot of fun. :o)

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

may I help anyone before I poof? want to try to get some rest and make it to church :)

1:53 am

Shivs Fitz

I need all the help in the world, LOL.

1:53 am

Shivs Fitz

I only have 78 words found...I'm lousy at this.

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

that is really good for a beginner

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

well all I wish you a great day / eve... hugs & *poof*

1:54 am

Shivs Fitz

Bye, Dee.

1:55 am

Shivs Fitz

And thanks.

1:55 am

jillibus

OK, shivs, we're connected. Two of your invitations arrived -- the first one was "rejected" but the second one worked. Howdy!

1:56 am

Shivs Fitz

I was just going to say that, Jill...see you in my list now.

1:56 am

Shivs Fitz

LOL, howdy yourself!

1:56 am

Shivs Fitz

Now you can read my page and see my connections, etc.

1:56 am

jillibus

YAY for dee!!! Sorry she's *poofed*

1:57 am

Shivs Fitz

My silly friends and family...just don't look at Phil, he is a real freak, LOL.

1:57 am

jillibus

Shivs, I haven't filled in my Yahoo page properly yet -- will do eventually

1:58 am

jillibus

You can see more of my stuff here in the Flickr pix

1:59 am

Shivs Fitz

I see. Did you know you can move the updates module over into the right side of your page so it's out of the way and doesn't push the rest of the content down so far? Put your cursor on the top of it until it changes to four black arrows, then hold down your left mouse button while dragging it over and release.

1:59 am

Shivs Fitz

I have done it on my own page, if you want to see.

2:02 am

jillibus

JC told me about that and I tried it but it didn't work. I didn't see four black arrows, though -- will try again but now it's just about bedtime here...

2:02 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh, am I here?

2:03 am

Shivs Fitz

Weird... Babble suddenly stopped working for me so I closed it and tried to open it in a new window, but it wouldn't load up. Now it's here!

2:04 am

Shivs Fitz

And time I was moving...and getting breakfast on for everyone.

2:04 am

TraderKate

mine froze up too. its been very slow to accept input tonight

2:05 am

jillibus

Just tried again and no go -- maybe Firefox won't do it?

2:05 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh so it's not just me then?

2:05 am

Shivs Fitz

Firefox won't do what?

2:05 am

jillibus

Let me drag the updates to the right

2:06 am

TraderKate

i'm in firefox..there is a newer version of firefox. maybe that's the trouble?

2:06 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh it should, because that's what I use and it worked.

2:06 am

jillibus

beats me

2:06 am

Shivs Fitz

I know one of my two brothers who are on there uses it as well and it worked for him too.

2:07 am

jillibus

I'll try again -- mybe I didn't do it right...

2:08 am

Shivs Fitz

Just move the mouse cursor to the top part of the updates module, slowly. It should turn into a little image with four black arrows...that's when you hold down the left mouse button and drag the module.

2:09 am

Shivs Fitz

You want to move it to the very top of that module.

2:09 am

jillibus

which top part? the tab which says Updates?

2:10 am

Shivs Fitz

The updates module, that entire "box" if you like.

2:10 am

Shivs Fitz

Just move it to right above the word "Updates." Does it change then?

2:11 am

jillibus

Come on over and show me, lol!

2:11 am

Shivs Fitz

I wish I could!

2:11 am

Shivs Fitz

Long flight, LOL.

2:11 am

jillibus

All I get is the hand in either place where the word Updates shows

2:12 am

Shivs Fitz

I don't understand that.

2:12 am

Shivs Fitz

I wish I could sign into that account and fix it for you!

2:13 am

Shivs Fitz

I don't like the way Yahoo! set up that layout.

2:15 am

jillibus

Aha! Got it -- I was working on the Updates page, not the Profile page. Fixed now.

2:15 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh, LOL. Good, it will be a lot better now!

2:17 am

jillibus

Not crazy about the site at all so far.

2:18 am

Shivs Fitz

No. They had a better one they got rid of, to replace it with that!! :o(

2:18 am

jillibus

In the profile, very restricted choices. No way to indicate Widow, fer hevvins sake

2:18 am

Shivs Fitz

I posted on your page when I thought Babble wasn't working.

2:18 am

jillibus

I saw that post, Shivs!

2:20 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh yes, Jill. I know. What if you are divorced and in a relationship as I am? You can't pick both, only one or the other.

2:20 am

jillibus

I had entered a lot in Interests but must have missed saving it because it all disappeared.

2:20 am

Shivs Fitz

That's frustrating!

2:21 am

jillibus

Well, asll I could say was "complicated"

2:21 am

Shivs Fitz

Another "fun" trick is people have kept disappearing off one another's lists lately, LOL.

2:22 am

Shivs Fitz

So I make a note of how many are on mine, to see if the number decreases. Then I look to see who has vanished so I can readd them.

2:22 am

Shivs Fitz

Yes that's silly isn't it, Jill? As if being widowed is complicated.

2:23 am

jillibus

Oh well, I'll get around to fixing things eventually and at least it's functioning now -- I'll keep track of the connections, not that I expect many. I have tons on Facebook, where the babblers are (mostly)

2:23 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh I'm on Facebook, but I hate it and only use it for connecting with my Uni alumni. I do not add anyone who isn't from there.

2:24 am

jillibus

I could say Single, I guess, but that's not quite right.

2:24 am

Shivs Fitz

I use my maiden name on there, so they can find me.

2:24 am

Shivs Fitz

I only have it at all because they all use it and it's the only way to connect with them.

2:24 am

Shivs Fitz

I know, it's not right.

2:25 am

jillibus

I really only use Facebook for Lexulous and seeing what the family is up to. There have been some lovely photos posted of them lately -- they're summering a long way from here

2:26 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh I play Scrabble on Lexulous...on their website. You do not need to use Facebook to do that.

2:26 am

jillibus

we're not getting very far with babble just now, are we!

2:26 am

Shivs Fitz

A few of us do.

2:26 am

Shivs Fitz

LOL no, but I know I won't anyway.

2:26 am

Shivs Fitz

I'm not very good at this!

2:27 am

jillibus

I know, but there's a babble group doing Lexulous on Facebook and it started as Scrabulous

2:27 am

Shivs Fitz

Although I keep finding words I didn't know by guessing!

2:27 am

Shivs Fitz

Trying things.

2:27 am

jillibus

Oh you will be good at babble -- these grids have been monstrous -- but then some of the small ones seem to be full of words in Klingon.

2:28 am

Shivs Fitz

It's funny how many small and obvious words I am still finding. I look for bigger ones and overlook those.

2:28 am

jillibus

yeasa, that's called monkeying.

2:29 am

jillibus

Now -- I must go to bed, and you said you were making breakfast for the gang -- what gang?

2:29 am

Shivs Fitz

Klingon? Surely that can't be as bad as Welsh, LOL. We have a Welsh friend who enjoys posing in that language on our pages, to drive us 'round the twist on a regular basis!! :oP

2:29 am

Shivs Fitz

Watch out for him on Yahoo!, Jill.

2:29 am

jillibus

We get a few Welsh words in babble, like cwms -- and there are a few Welsh players

2:30 am

Shivs Fitz

Valleys, that means.

2:30 am

jillibus

I know what it means -- used a picture as a Friday icon theme one time, when the theme is a Clue from the Grid

2:30 am

Shivs Fitz

My brother and Steve (our Welsh friend) have been friends since they were teenagers. Steve is 50 now and my brother is 48.

2:31 am

Shivs Fitz

I see.

2:31 am

jillibus

so for whom are you making breakfast?

2:31 am

Shivs Fitz

All of us, when everyone's finally up. Mum isn't yet, but the kids are.

2:32 am

jillibus

You're living with your Mum, and how many kids?

2:32 am

Shivs Fitz

Two, my daughter and son.

2:32 am

jillibus

How old?

2:33 am

Shivs Fitz

Daughter is 12, son is 8.

2:33 am

jillibus

Pretty nice ages ;)

2:33 am

jillibus

What for brekkie?

2:33 am

Shivs Fitz

Well they'll have to be, as those are the ages they are.

2:34 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh probably a tofu scramble, or some hot cereal...depends what severyone feels like. I don't care, as long as I get some food, LOL.

2:35 am

Shivs Fitz

Possibly even pancakes.

2:35 am

jillibus

Are you a vegan like Laura and JC?

2:35 am

Shivs Fitz

I have to see what everyone decides.

2:35 am

Shivs Fitz

Yes, certainly am.

2:35 am

Shivs Fitz

As are my children, from birth.

2:35 am

jillibus

You are too kind, cooking for all.

2:35 am

Shivs Fitz

And one of my brothers is, also...he's just gone raw vegan and it's really helping his health.

2:36 am

Shivs Fitz

He went to see a kinesiologist recently and learnt he's allergic to wheat and sensitive to sugar as well.

2:36 am

jillibus

Oh my. I am so opposite!

2:36 am

Shivs Fitz

I suspect that I might have the wheat sensitivity too.

2:36 am

jillibus

But chacun Ã son gout

2:37 am

Shivs Fitz

So, I'm trying to gather some good bread recipes using alternative grains.

2:37 am

Shivs Fitz

Spelt, kamut, etc.

2:37 am

Shivs Fitz

Well, whatever one can live with.

2:37 am

jillibus

Stidmama is allergic to so many things too

2:38 am

Shivs Fitz

Robbie Williams has a tattoo of that around his collarbone area..."Chacun a son gout." I don't have the accent handy.

2:38 am

Shivs Fitz

Who is that?

2:39 am

Shivs Fitz

Do you have a French keyboard?

2:40 am

jillibus

Stid is a constant babbler but not often on at this hour. She's from Olympia, the capital of Wahington State, and is another friend of JC

2:41 am

Shivs Fitz

I see!

2:41 am

jillibus

No French keyboard -- there's an ascii code for the accents you can find inthe Windows Character Map.

2:41 am

Shivs Fitz

I never remember all the codes, LOL.

2:42 am

jillibus

Ã is Alt + 0224

2:42 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh, thanks. And accent grave?

2:42 am

jillibus

I've made a list of the useful ones

2:42 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh that is grave...don't mind me.

2:42 am

Shivs Fitz

Acute?

2:43 am

Shivs Fitz

Actually you need to know the codes for the a and e letters with either accent...too much to remember!

2:44 am

jillibus

Alt + 0225, but who uses Ã¡ ? I needed them ecause when I lived in Quebec I did some translation into French (I'm not fluent)

2:45 am

jillibus

As I said, I don't remember them -- I made a list. I needed some um;auts and such too, for some German translation. All to do with Great Danes.

2:45 am

Shivs Fitz

I see. I'm not fluent either, but did study French and German in school and university. Julian speaks German quite well, as he has some German background on both sides of his family.

2:45 am

Shivs Fitz

One of my brothers took a course in Russian...there's an interesting and difficult language!

2:46 am

Shivs Fitz

And he still can't speak it conversationally, LOL. He can sing a song in Russian though, so well you would think he spoke it to hear him.

2:48 am

jillibus

I don't speak German at all, but my British mother was fluent (long story). My translation was tedious but fun -- legal size lined pages, german 3 lines down, translated words above in german grammatical order, English grammar above that. German-Englsih dictionary at hand, obviously.

2:48 am

Shivs Fitz

Great Danes?

2:48 am

Shivs Fitz

Sounds tedious!

2:48 am

Shivs Fitz

A lot of work!

2:49 am

jillibus

We bred (very limited basis) and showed Danes for several years in the US and Canada.

2:49 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh!

2:49 am

Shivs Fitz

That's why I see one in your photos!

2:49 am

jillibus

See my Flickr pix.

2:50 am

jillibus

You see more than one if you go thorugh them all

2:50 am

Shivs Fitz

I did see it...beautiful dog.

2:50 am

Shivs Fitz

Okay, thanks.

2:51 am

jillibus

And you can see the cover of my book, which is the result of all that german translation

2:51 am

Shivs Fitz

I am at your Flickr page now. Which set is the book cover in?

2:52 am

jillibus

I've got to go to bed!!!

2:52 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh, Danes. I see it.

2:53 am

jillibus

I did the drawing of the bigger head on the cover and a couple of others in the book

2:53 am

Shivs Fitz

Glenda did a find job on that chair?

2:53 am

Shivs Fitz

Fine...typo.

2:54 am

Shivs Fitz

Wow... you are quite an artist!

2:54 am

jillibus

Glenda wasn't the only one

2:55 am

Shivs Fitz

Danes don't usually live past 11 or 12?

2:55 am

Shivs Fitz

No, that chair looks like it's been chewed by a pack of them, LOL.

2:55 am

jillibus

they don't usually live even that long

2:55 am

Shivs Fitz

How sad...I knew they didn't live as long as smaller dogs, but didn't realise their lifespan was that short.

2:56 am

jillibus

short and so sweet

2:57 am

Shivs Fitz

Heartbreaking! :o( I get very attached to pets.

2:58 am

Shivs Fitz

Lani was beautiful...love brindle coats.

2:58 am

jillibus

Me too, and now I'm getting too atached to my neighbours' cat. I've been looking after her for two months while they're away -- they return on Thursday and i hope she will still come and visit

2:59 am

jillibus

Sorry about the typos (tired)

2:59 am

Shivs Fitz

Awww... she must be a sweet one?

2:59 am

Shivs Fitz

How does Lois get the spoon to stick to her nose?

2:59 am

jillibus

god only knows -- she just puts it there

3:00 am

jillibus

it's a great talent

3:00 am

Shivs Fitz

That's it ?

3:00 am

Shivs Fitz

Yes... I've always wished I had a special talent, LOL.

3:00 am

jillibus

yep

3:01 am

Shivs Fitz

That defies the laws of physics and gravity!!

3:01 am

Shivs Fitz

She is talented!

3:01 am

Shivs Fitz

I have no talent... it's so unfair.

3:01 am

jillibus

I dunno -- maybe she breathes on it first or something

3:02 am

o-o

This is the 235th day of the year, with 130 days remaining in 2009.

3:02 am

Shivs Fitz

One of my brothers got all the talent in our family and the rest of us have none! Selfish git he is, taking it all.

3:02 am

jillibus

what are you doing up at this hour, babrab?

3:02 am

Shivs Fitz

She must have very sticky breath!

3:02 am

jillibus

of course you have talent, shivs

3:02 am

o-o

checking how many days are left in this year

3:03 am

jillibus

oh silly me, that's important, babrab

3:03 am

Shivs Fitz

I do, Jill? What is it then please, because I would like to know?

3:03 am

Shivs Fitz

Yes it is, important enough to get out of bed for!

3:04 am

jillibus

making tasty breakfasts for a family, for starters, shivs

3:04 am

Shivs Fitz

I don't think that's talent, Jill. Anyone can do it!

3:04 am

jillibus

I can't.

3:04 am

Shivs Fitz

Mum is finally surfacing, I hear.

3:05 am

Shivs Fitz

You can't cook?

3:05 am

jillibus

I shrivel at the thought of coping with meals for a bunch

3:05 am

o-o

I am very talented at forgetting

3:05 am

jillibus

I can cook, but it's painful

3:05 am

Shivs Fitz

If forgetfulness is a talent then I'm very gifted as well!

3:06 am

jillibus

that's useful at times, bebrab

3:06 am

Shivs Fitz

Then stop burning yourself, Jill.

3:06 am

Shivs Fitz

it is! There are lots of things I'd rather forget, LOL!

3:06 am

jillibus

lol, shivs

3:07 am

Shivs Fitz

In recent years with increasing frequency I will walk into another room to get or do something, then by the time I get there I totally forget why I went.

3:08 am

jillibus

Welcome to the club -- I do that all the time and have done so for years.

3:08 am

o-o

phantom: rodomontade

3:08 am

jillibus

Have to go back to where I came from and start all over

3:09 am

jillibus

yes indeed, BR!

3:09 am

Shivs Fitz

I will need to start chanting my reason for going into that other room over and over like a mantra, until I achieve what I'm going in there for, LOL.

3:09 am

o-o

I generally forget where I came from

3:09 am

jillibus

Silly you!

3:10 am

Shivs Fitz

Where do you come from, BabbleRabble?

3:10 am

Shivs Fitz

Watch him say "I forget."

3:10 am

jillibus

He's forgotten

3:10 am

o-o

but of course, I have never understood why I was here in the first place

3:10 am

Shivs Fitz

Do any of us understand why we're here?

3:11 am

jillibus

Not a clue

3:11 am

Shivs Fitz

Other than because I live here (in this particular place).

Atalante

helllllooooo again

3:24 am

Haz1558

Hello Ata - all rested?

3:24 am

lynxxx

hi Ata, welcome back!

3:24 am

Atalante

not really! been out with the Hobbit for a while, had a lovely refreshing walk on the beach

3:25 am

Atalante

so that helped

3:25 am

Haz1558

Hobbit will have been pleased - back to the normal routine.

3:26 am

Atalante

she boinged for England

3:26 am

Haz1558

I can imagine!

3:27 am

Atalante

make that Europe!

3:27 am

lynxxx

She has forgiven you quickly then? No hard feelngs

3:27 am

Atalante

she never does - it's an immediate fling and cling and wiggling

3:29 am

lynxxx

and Sily?

3:29 am

Atalante

she managed to be stand offish for about 3 minutes

3:31 am

Haz1558

So, what plans do you have now that you're back?

3:32 am

Atalante

work out how to get the US to let me go over to stay!

3:32 am

Haz1558

That'll take some imagination.

3:33 am

Haz1558

They're not best pleased with Britain at the minute because of the Libya thing.

3:33 am

rolin

morning all...been on holiday ata?

3:33 am

Haz1558

Good morning rolin.

3:33 am

Atalante

yep, been in Oregon for a while

3:33 am

lynxxx

hi Rolin

3:33 am

Atalante

makes up for Britain disliking the US slagging off the NHS!

3:33 am

rolin

im myet to get to the states...but i will..i want to be in new england for autumn...to see the colours

3:34 am

rolin

oh well now the nhs thing has been overtaken by the lockerie outrage

3:34 am

jillibus

I haven't poofed yet

3:35 am

lynxxx

is this grid hard or am Ijust too tired?

3:35 am

Haz1558

I know! And frankly, the whole treat terrorists like terrorists thing is taken with a pinch of salt over here when you consider the whole IRA perspective. But that's another story.

3:35 am

lynxxx

hi Jilli

3:35 am

jillibus

I hope we weren't monopolising the chat

3:35 am

rolin

ive just started lynxxx...so im still in the first flush of success

3:35 am

Haz1558

Hello jillibus.

3:35 am

jillibus

Ata -- what did Hobbit find on the beach?

3:36 am

rolin

haz...it really is a sense of perspective isnt it?

3:36 am

Atalante

crabs!

3:36 am

Haz1558

It is. I appreciate the feelings of the US, I really do, but it seems a bit hypocritical when they were terribly keen for us all to forgive and forget over here.

3:37 am

jillibus

mmm, tasty -- goog Hobbit

3:37 am

jillibus

good

3:38 am

rolin

well...stress and crisis bring out the best in some people and the not so good in others

3:38 am

jillibus

I think this is a hard grid but then I'm tired too and wish you all a happy babbletime

3:38 am

lynxxx

goodnite Jilli, sleep well

3:38 am

Atalante

I always get surprised over there at how many people love England

3:39 am

rolin

and indeed...i better get out picnic under way... im off to watch the aussies score the highest fourth innings in history to save the ashes...lol

3:39 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I must head off and will tackle the rest of the grid and all world peace problems later. Bye for now and goodnight jillibus.

3:39 am

Haz1558

Byee!

3:39 am

lynxxx

bye Rolin, Haz

3:39 am

Atalante

bye dear!

3:39 am

jillibus

as for the current events, the lies told by the Republicans about the Canadian health care system are beyond belief -- and that was a cutie about Stephen Hawking

3:40 am

Atalante

you can hope!

3:40 am

jillibus

Bye everyone!

flosey, thank you...for the on 7 and hi...William is a sweetie

10:12 am

flosey

ty annie - so's the big guy

10:12 am

Anniebrook

You are a lucky woman

10:12 am

flosey

but yes, William is such a dear, and he's smiling now

10:12 am

flosey

I am indeed Annie, truly blessed

10:13 am

Anniebrook

And they are lucky to have you, flo

10:14 am

flosey

why thank you Annie, how sweet you are

10:14 am

Anniebrook

How is Sandy coming along?

10:15 am

flosey

she's really amazing Annie, always has been very health conscious - careful what she ate, etc, and so is bouncing back very nicely

10:15 am

Anniebrook

So glad to hear that

10:16 am

flosey

ty, and now I don't mind admitting, we were all very shocked and frightened

10:18 am

Anniebrook

When you do not expect a problem and it arises especially during childbirth it is very frightening but thank God all ended well for both mother and child. Just so unexpected.

10:18 am

flosey

her hubby is a pretty amazing guy Annie - right from the beginning he's done as much, if not more, with William - he gave him his first bath - or should say shower

10:19 am

flosey

and William loved it

10:20 am

Anniebrook

Fathers are much more hands-on these days as they should be. We are of another generation and when we see fathers being a hands-on parent we give them loads of praise. William getting to know his Daddy from the very beginning. Wonderful.

10:22 am

flosey

would you believe he took William on a 2 hour hike when he was 3 weeks old - strapped to him in one of those swaddling bands

Dorens

hi haz. funny book titles

11:41 am

Haz1558

Glad you like them, Dorens - some were suggestions from babblers themselves.

11:41 am

Dorens

oh that's good to hear..i can think of one or two that i hope were that case

11:42 am

Haz1558

I know, trying hard not to step on toes.

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't know anything about formula 1 except it is a type of racing

11:42 am

Dorens

:-)

11:43 am

Dorens

maybe it's a good thing that not enough about me is known for anyone to suggest a title for me

11:43 am

Haz1558

It's driving very fast, that's all I know! You've talked about not being too fond of driving.

well sun is out, a sure sign we will soon have a storm. area has had av of 5 3/4 in this month

11:47 am

Haz1558

You've had a run of bad weather, TO.

11:47 am

Dorens

yes we have sun now too owl.. Ken just asked me to join him and the boys at the pool, but I don't trust it... he's done that the last two days and averaged 16 minutes before the thunder

11:49 am

72 Temple Owl

right now i have ants in the kitchen drviing me around the bend. put out traps that were highly recommended. i am supposed to be seeing tons of them gogin for the traps by now. nothing.

11:49 am

Haz1558

England wins Ashes!

11:49 am

Atalante

YAYYYYYYYY

11:49 am

wvteach

i think there will be some rain here but i don't think we will have a storm.

11:49 am

Dorens

haven't had much luck with traps either owl. have you tried the borax route?

11:50 am

Haz1558

Poor rolin.

11:50 am

demouse

woohoo

11:50 am

72 Temple Owl

the traps are supposed to have borax with sugar syrup.

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

so how does one use borax mixed with sugar?

11:51 am

Judi

Hiya, Babblerth! TO - those ants will take the bait when you are not looking. So, stop looking!

11:51 am

Haz1558

Hello Judi!

11:52 am

Shivs Fitz

Those ant traps take time to work, they attract the ants so at first it looks like they're not working. I find they do after a while, once they all take the poison back to the nest.

11:52 am

72 Temple Owl

hey judi! passing your way now every monday and friday

11:52 am

Dorens

i am no ant expert for sure... have spread some sort of chemical stuff around the foundation on the outside of the house... only thing that seems to have worked, but don't like poison

11:52 am

Judi

Well, howdilly doo, TO.

11:53 am

72 Temple Owl

i used poison outside. but they are inside because of rain. infestation seems too large to handle alone

11:53 am

Shivs Fitz

No I can't spread poison around on the ground because of our dog and cat.

11:54 am

Shivs Fitz

Try more than one ant trap if needed, they work but it does take some time.

11:54 am

Dorens

my outside cat has never been interested in it, shivs, for what it's worth

11:54 am

Shivs Fitz

I don't think our animals would be, but I worry if they stepped in it then licked their paws they might be affected by it.

11:54 am

Judi

Perhaps you could rent an anteater from the local zoo, TO?

11:54 am

72 Temple Owl

i bought six, put three out. they are coning from behind the backsplash. can't caulk until i kill them

11:55 am

Shivs Fitz

Then you would have aardvark droppings to clean up.

11:55 am

Dorens

understandable... i'm just banking on the thought that I've never seen Lucy along the border of the house, and hope that counts for something. i like the anteater idea though

11:55 am

72 Temple Owl

good point shiv.

11:55 am

Judi

Got some traps under the sink?

11:56 am

Shivs Fitz

Oh what a pain. You could put some poison spray down behind the backsplash, that might take care of it.

11:56 am

72 Temple Owl

no. i am afriad to look there.

11:56 am

Dorens

then just shove them in without looking

11:56 am

Haz1558

Those anteaters from the zoo are probably too domesticated. They'll have lost the hunting instinct.

11:57 am

Judi

LOL. That's probably where they're coming from. Up the pipes from outside. Just open the cupboard and chuck in a trap... then run.

11:57 am

72 Temple Owl

ok. time to go finish up. will try not to drive again on four hours sleep

11:57 am

Atalante

antlions are fi6

11:57 am

demouse

shiv if you know of any body here in yorkshire you can buy ant traps from yorkshire trading company they really do work

11:57 am

72 Temple Owl

must finish chores early. happy babbling.

11:58 am

Haz1558

See you later, TO.

11:58 am

Dorens

11:58 am

Shivs Fitz

Thanks demouse, but I'm not the one with the ant problem.

11:58 am

11:58 am

demouse

oh ok

11:58 am

Dorens

Shivs Fitz

Wow demouse, never seen ant traps work that quickly!

11:59 am

Shivs Fitz

Send some of those to 72 Temple Owl!

12:00 pm

demouse

and they were safe to use near my dog too

12:00 pm

Hello red.

12:22 pm

Judi

Hiya, Red!

12:22 pm

flosey

thanks anyway Dorens

12:22 pm

Dorens

well, i'm clearly unnerved red, how are you?

12:22 pm

redturtlehead

very nice icon BR. I am not unnerved,

12:23 pm

redturtlehead

a little disorganized and under motivated.

12:24 pm

Dorens

ah, welcome to my world, red, except i am a LOT disorganized

12:24 pm

redturtlehead

WHy are you unnerved Dorens?

12:25 pm

Dorens

that's a joke, actually.. haz is referring to an ant that was next to my computer earlier... not really unnerved at all, thanks

12:25 pm

Judi

Nice royal coffeemaker, Red. However, I'm unaware of any royals willing to be baristas in the PB. Any volunteers?

12:26 pm

Dorens

will volunteer my son david, who introduced me to babble, is a barista nonpareil at 1369 coffehouse in camabridge when not in school, and never babbles anymore

12:26 pm

TraderKate

hello all you babblers....i'll volunteer judi, spend so much time there, might as well make myself useful

12:26 pm

redturtlehead

I figured the Cabana boys could be trained to handle both duties...

12:26 pm

redturtlehead

But David Dorens would be fine....

12:27 pm

Dorens

need to reserve cabana boys for their primary function!

12:28 pm

redturtlehead

Which is bring us fancy drinks...

12:28 pm

redturtlehead

?

12:28 pm

Judi

Perfect, Dorens. The cabana boys are only seasonal. I think they have a union,.

12:28 pm

Dorens

oh i bet they do, judi.. with all the difficult conditions we expose them to

12:28 pm

Dorens

do they not also offer massage?

12:29 pm

redturtlehead

Oh My Union.... geeesh!

12:29 pm

Judi

Plus, cabana boys in speedos should not be allowed to close to hot liquids.

12:29 pm

Judi

*too* rather.

12:33 pm

redturtlehead

You know I dont know? I always thought the boys were for hot towels and drinks...

12:34 pm

Judi

And where would we put the royal coffee maker? How about next to the rock climbing wall, under the orchid garden?

12:34 pm

Dorens

thought i noticed some raucous behavior there one late night, when i was sort of llurking

12:34 pm

redturtlehead

Lody, I didnt know we had all that in there...

12:34 pm

Judi

What's that? You say you causes some raucous behavior???

12:35 pm

Judi

*caused*

12:35 pm

Judi

Yes, the PB has been expanded. Economic stimulous, dontcha know.

12:36 pm

Dorens

well, a boy has to make a buck, you know. (and i said nothing of causality, just lurking)

12:37 pm

Judi

Geez louise. I can't type for crap today.

12:37 pm

redturtlehead

LOL. I found a dollar on the ground today. I figured god was just reminding me that he was taking care of me....

12:40 pm

Judi

Good God. The neighbor is having a pool party and just started playing this really awful oom-pah music. I think I need to go exercise my right to bear arms.

12:41 pm

Dorens

wait, judi, maybe they have cabana boys!!

12:41 pm

Judi

No such luck. With that music, I suspect dudes in goofy hats, shorts and leiderhosen.

12:42 pm

Dorens

oompahpah?

12:42 pm

Judi

Think German beer garten, Dorens. Polka, etc.

12:43 pm

Dorens

oompahpah for sure!

12:43 pm

Dorens

join them for a polka judi, drink lots of beer. if you can't beat 'em......

12:44 pm

Haz1558

You'll know they're Germans if there are towels on the sunloungers.

12:44 pm

Dorens

i think the oompahpah is the dead giveaway haz... not too many americans listen to that stuff!!!

12:45 pm

Judi

Nine. Danka shein, anyway.

12:45 pm

Haz1558

British people always accuse Germans of nabbing the best sunloungers on holiday.

12:45 pm

o-o

"Whoopie John" Wilfahrt

12:46 pm

Judi

Ha! You brits wouldn't know sun if it bit you in the arse! You need fog loungers.

12:47 pm

Haz1558

Emphasis on holiday, Judi. Abroad where the sun shines and Brits flock in droves.

12:48 pm

Haz1558

And then discover the Germans got there first.

12:48 pm

Judi

You know I josh, Haz. I love all things British. Except maybe Mr. Bean.

12:49 pm

Haz1558

I hate Mr Bean as well.

12:49 pm

Haz1558

He's deeply unpleasant.

12:49 pm

Dorens

speaking of which haz, have you ever flocked to the south of france? my kids and i were toying with the idea of renting a house there next summer rather than martha's vineyard... know anything about it?

12:50 pm

Judi

I much prefer the British publication of Country Living to the American version.

12:50 pm

Haz1558

I've been to the south many years ago - very beautiful, but slightly pricy.

12:50 pm

Haz1558

It would be worth investigating, Dorens.

12:51 pm

Dorens

any town you'd recommend? (it's my 60th birthdya celebration, and we decided to raid my inheritance... my dad would have approved enthusiastically)

12:52 pm

Haz1558

It's been so long that I would hesitate to recommend a particular town. I stayed in Grasse, but there are bound to be lots of other places to stay.

12:53 pm

Haz1558

Many of the resorts on the coast are full of beautiful people.

12:53 pm

Dorens

oh gosh, i hope they'll let me in

12:54 pm

Haz1558

My husband's business partner visits south of France regularly - remind me to ask him where they go (they're away at the minute)

12:55 pm

Dorens

ok, i will try to remember that. to remind you. i am bad at remembering things like this. but thanks

12:55 pm

Haz1558

A holiday in the South of France - good motivation!

12:55 pm

Dorens

yes, i should think so!

12:56 pm

Judi

Off to do a bit of housework. May be back later, maybe not. TTFN! *Poof*

12:57 pm

Haz1558

I must head to the kitchen, we're eating later than usual but need to get going. Happy babbling!

12:57 pm

Dorens

bye judi... i'm off too, managed to get down to 19 words without even realizing... back tonight to finish.. enjoy your day haz

12:58 pm

Bye Dorens.

Beans are great, flosey. We have them in a lot of dishes.

1:10 pm

flosey

oh you will Shivs, just takes a bit of patience

1:11 pm

Nef

flosey, I'm trying to work up the energy to make grape jams and jelly myself

1:11 pm

flosey

these are the green and yellow string beans - also freezing favas

flosey

good for you Nef, there again, you'll be glad of it come winter

1:12 pm

KatieMcG

I'm rebelling and having tomatoes on toast lol

Shivs Fitz

That's baked beans in tomato sauce of course.

1:12 pm

flosey

have had baked beans on toast Shivs, like that?

1:12 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes, flosey...very traditional here.

1:12 pm

Nef

Shivs, have you gone to licketies' list yet? It's okay to use it all of the time; once you become more comfy with Babble; THEN start setting ruloes about listing

1:12 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes Nef, but I am trying to do without. Perhaps not such a good idea, LOL.

1:13 pm

flosey

ah Katie, chopped fresh tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil and oil - on toast is marvellous

1:13 pm

Nef

Mmmmm, fresh beans from the garden! Unfortunately, we have rabbits that ate all of our bean and pea plants. So none from our gardent this year

1:13 pm

Shivs Fitz

Oh I love sliced tomatoes on toast, KatieMcG! With an herb and black pepper sprinkle...mmmm!!

1:13 pm

Shivs Fitz

Oh and that yes, delicious, flosey!

1:13 pm

KatieMcG

oh now that sounds good, don't have basil though might just have them plain with salt. I only picked them today so hoping they will be good

1:14 pm

flosey

ah, nothing better than fresh picked tomato - the taste of a good old fashioned tomato, so unlike the ones in the stores

1:14 pm

TraderKate

congrats flosey, bye

1:14 pm

Boobear

Hi Nef and Katie and Shivs

1:15 pm

Oh I fence in our vegetable patches, Nef. We also have a dog and cat who are out in the garden a lot so we don't get a lot of other animals visiting.

now must run, enjoy all and good luck

1:15 pm

Shivs Fitz

Our dog would chase anything like that...he's always on the lookout for squirrels and rabbits!

1:16 pm

Nef

YUM!! My tomatoes are coming in nicely too! I ave at least a peck of them on the counter now; but am having a colonoscopy Tues, so no fresh fruit or veggies for me til afterwards! :-( (just a routine one, no reason for the scope other than being old

1:16 pm

lynxxx

bye Flosey

1:16 pm

Nef

Bye flosey! Have fun!

1:17 pm

Shivs Fitz

Oh nice, Nef...love tomatoes and we have a good crop of them this year as well. Glad to hear it's just a routine exam and nothing's wrong!

1:17 pm

Nef

Our dog is dumb. He lets the rabbits sit where they are and tries to chase the squirrels on the power lines!

1:20 pm

Nef

We have the baby cherry tomatoes, the little yellow pear tomatoes, and a whole bunch of the heirloom types this year: Great White, Golden Girl, Amish Paste, Cherokee Reds, Dark Prince, Zebra Striped (green), and several others that I can't remember names of

1:21 pm

Nef

Those sliced on fresh toast, add some fresh basil and thin sliced Mozzarella+ pure bliss! :-D

1:23 pm

Shivs Fitz

No thanks to mozzarella or any cheese made from other mammals' milk, Nef. Basil though, oh yes!

1:23 pm

kazwha

damn this is hard

1:23 pm

Shivs Fitz

LOL, your dog ignores rabbits on the ground to go after animals out of reach?

1:23 pm

Nef

no dairy for you Shivs?

1:23 pm

kazwha

ripe

1:23 pm

Shivs Fitz

Of course not, Nef. It's not good for us.

1:24 pm

kazwha

oops sorry, wrong window

1:24 pm

Shivs Fitz

Nor the cows that suffer horrible abuse in the dairy industry for no reason.

1:24 pm

Shivs Fitz

Soy and rice cheese is very good..."Sheeze," etc.

1:24 pm

Nef

Right he's a really DUMB dog. He is about 10 years old, a little 11 pound Schitz-poo; and has always got by on his looks. I took him in when his previoous owners were going to put him down

1:25 pm

Shivs Fitz

They melt well now too, which they didn't at first. Everything gets improved upon.

1:25 pm

Shivs Fitz

Awww, he must be cute then with that cross?

1:26 pm

Shivs Fitz

I'm glad you rescued him Nef! Our dog and cat are as well, both from a local shelter.

1:26 pm

Nef

Shivs, I've never heard of rice or soy cheeses. And having grown up in dairy country; I've never seen cows abused for their milk

1:26 pm

rbud

hi, all, just finally got to the grid, and had all but one for NBT in a few minutes - any hints for the lone R in the 4th row?

1:27 pm

Nef

rbud, I thin it might be a "re" word but not sure which one.

1:28 pm

Shivs Fitz

Nef: http://www.milksucks.com/

1:28 pm

Shivs Fitz

Especially the "For Animals" section.

1:29 pm

lynxxx

Rosebud - re5.14 probably means putting up the ropes on sailing ships again

1:29 pm

Shivs Fitz

There's a lot of very good information there.

1:29 pm

Nef

I'll check it out, Shivs. Are you vegan then? We've done some vegan meals

1:29 pm

Shivs Fitz

I have been trying a lot of re words, with no luck.

1:30 pm

Shivs Fitz

Yes I am, Nef...as are my two children, from birth.

1:30 pm

Shivs Fitz

One of my brothers is as well, for a long, long time.

1:30 pm

Shivs Fitz

Thanks for that clue lynxxx...got it.

1:32 pm

Shivs Fitz

I never thought the ca word for "arrived" could be pluralised, but apparently it can.

1:35 pm

o-o

the ca is a noun

1:38 pm

Nef

Shivs, I live in MN, not Calif. Growing up in NW MN, the cows often had it better than the farmers. I remember my Grandmother telling me that their barns were nicer than the farm houses and that she once told my grandfather that she wished that they could live as well as the cows did!

1:54 pm

sammysmom

sometimes the flash of light is so bright .......... i get a headache

1:56 pm

jaianniah

I get those, too, sammy- it is called an aura, and comes before a migraine headache.

1:57 pm

jaianniah

But in my case, my brain "makes" the flash of light itself

1:57 pm

lynxxx

Shameful! I didn't see me6.21 before the list, a famous sheep here

i used to be able to see peoples auras when i ws a child . My daughter could also as a child.neiter of of us was aware thet it was unusual until we were told- htat we were "odd".

I see auras all the time.

1:59 pm

Shivs Fitz

I have an online contact who has a special type of photo taken of himself showing his aura, on his website.

2:05 pm

jaianniah

some people i can see real well; others i don't

2:06 pm

lynxxx

i am a bit worried about the answer, but what does a brown or black aura signify?

2:06 pm

sammysmom

EVIL !!

2:07 pm

jaianniah

If I see black spots, it might indicate illnesss in the area of the spots, like cancer of the liver or something- that I keep to myself

2:07 pm

sammysmom

and this man was - i later learned that he was a child abuser and murderer.

2:07 pm

Here's his website, Jaia: http://tinyurl.com/nl2odw

2:09 pm

jaianniah

Thanks shiv- that was cool, and looks exactly like what I see, only I do not see it that bright

2:09 pm

nrkii

hi everyone!

2:10 pm

Shivs Fitz

I think that type of photography makes it appear brighter?

2:10 pm

Nef

sorry, now back again. Re: auras; I have had what the doctor called "visual migraines" and when I have them I see auras around people too. I've had some when I was at work (as an RN in ICU) and if the person had a light colored aura, they were doing okay; but I'd see dark ones (not black or brown; but quite dark --maybe grey or a deep dark color) they usually didn't do well or ould die soon.

2:10 pm

lynxxx

hi nrkii

2:10 pm

Shivs Fitz

Hiya, nrkii.

2:10 pm

jaianniah

Tis true, Nef!

2:11 pm

Shivs Fitz

How interesting, Nef! Auras can be photographed using a special type of photography Barry talks about in his website, so they certainly exist.

2:11 pm

nrkii

a psychic stopped me on the street last week and told me I had a very unusual yellow-gold aura

2:11 pm

Shivs Fitz

An energy field?

2:11 pm

inge

p

2:11 pm

jaianniah

There are two books- Hands of Light and Light Emerging that explain auras in great detail...great healers books

2:12 pm

Shivs Fitz

I have no idea about the colour of mine.

2:12 pm

nrkii

that was after she asked me the time... so I'm not sure how strong her psychic skills were

2:12 pm

Nef

Whoa, nrkii; what did you do?

2:13 pm

Shivs Fitz

Does the colour of one's aura change, Jaia?

2:13 pm

nrkii

I told her the time, and said, "Is that good?" in response to the aura thing. She told me I am a good friend and have a lot of strength.... that was the end of the conversation.

2:14 pm

Nef

nrkii, maybe she stopped you and asked *because* of the aura?

2:16 pm

jaianniah

That's what I was thinking, too

2:16 pm

Shivs Fitz

One of my brothers has delved into all this stuff quite a lot and even had a paranormal group on Yahoo! for a time.

2:16 pm

nrkii

perhaps, but I'm a bit more cynical than that... I think she doesn't wear a watch to her shop because people would wonder why a pscyhic would need a watch... I'm actually a reasonably solid believer in this stuff, but it still struck me as funny

2:16 pm

Shivs Fitz

I have to go for now though...see to things here.

2:16 pm

Shivs Fitz

Take care and bye for now!

2:16 pm

bye shivs

clue for ro 6/21

2:17 pm

nrkii

okay, 28 to go, and MY psychic powers are not working on this grid

2:17 pm

Nef

I once had a very confused and frightened little old lady in ICU who was screaming and carrying on about we were torturing her and she was going to die. I could see her aura was white and I told her that we were caring for her and she wouldn't die and she asked How did I know that. So I told her she had a white halo and that meant she'd live. She settled right down and went to sleep then! :-)

2:17 pm

nrkii

ro 6 21 ... one who wanders

2:17 pm

jaianniah

I have to go, too, but all of you have a great day...email me if you have more questions about auras or anything like that...I am a Healer and a shaman

2:17 pm

bye jai!

bye jai and Shivs

redturtlehead

Ok, I am back, after a nap. I think I may be doing too much at the gym....

2:19 pm

nrkii

hi red, why's that?

2:19 pm

redturtlehead

Because I keep falling asleep about one hour afterwards, maybe too tired...

2:19 pm

Nef

how long are you at the gym and what are you doing while there?

2:19 pm

redturtlehead

Well, it sounds like a lot nef, but...

2:20 pm

redturtlehead

I run in the morning, then eat something, and about 2 hours later do a strength workout, about 30 minutes then I swim for 30-40 minutes....I should probably cut down on eof the activities.

2:21 pm

Nef

are you "running on empty" with no food intake (sugar levels dropping from too much work?)

2:21 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no, I eat before I run, and after and sometimes during if its a long run.

2:22 pm

Nef

just simple carbs?

2:22 pm

redturtlehead

No Protein. I'm very careful with food.

2:22 pm

nrkii

no, she's very good about her peanut butter and such

2:22 pm

Nef

okay. Blows *my* theory then! :-)

2:22 pm

nrkii

red, possible you're dehydrated? that's what tires me out most

2:23 pm

nrkii

and it sneaks up on me

2:23 pm

redturtlehead

I think I just get tired. I drink a ton...

2:23 pm

redturtlehead

Its the getting up at 4 am...I may just need a nap.

2:23 pm

nrkii

well, there's that... lol

2:23 pm

nrkii

nothing wrong with naps... wish I could take them

2:24 pm

Nef

but you are describing something like 2-3 hours of hard work. Tat alone (just thinking about it!) makes me tired! ;-)

2:24 pm

redturtlehead

I wish we had nap time at work for sure.

2:24 pm

nrkii

as it is, I can't get to sleep the last two weeks without ambien, or if I do, I don't get to sleep till after 3AM and I don't sleep well

2:24 pm

redturtlehead

nekii, I think you should start running!

2:24 pm

Nef

uck, nrkii.

2:25 pm

nrkii

I start going to bed around 12:30, and at 2:30, I'm still wide awake

2:25 pm

Nef

I have the opposite problem; I can fall asleep without any warning

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

I am similar Nef. I think its the nurse thing. I can also use the bathroom at any time, just because I never know when I might get a chance to do it again!

7:16 pm

Scrabbler

I am trying to figure out the ca word meaning emotion

7:17 pm

Scrabbler

Trif, quickly go buy a product like Technu or something similar--you can wash up to 8 hrs after exposure and it will remove the rhus oil. I bought some after my recent episode and washed all of my kayaking gear.

8:34 pm

gortmold

forget it, trad, go with rbud's clue at 8:33

TraderKate

8:27 fine, just was trying o/g/e instead of haw. version

8:36 pm

TraderKate

babblet definition?

8:36 pm

gortmold

weenie word that appears often in babble, but people bash you up if you use it elsewhere

8:37 pm

lbdawger

babblet is a word that shows up here regularly that is usually undefined, or just odd. hawaiian goose is one of many

8:37 pm

gortmold

yeah, what lbd said

8:37 pm

TraderKate

okay, will try to avoid

8:38 pm

lbdawger

can't avoid babblets, they're everywhere! lol

8:38 pm

gortmold

it's all right trad, it's just that where i come from, they only let you wax lyrical on hawaiian geese after you've bought several rounds of drinks

8:39 pm

lbdawger

lol, gort

8:39 pm

You're like a balmy breeze
Moving through my leaves
You're an aire sign baby
