And the dam of our first Dane was Thisbe of Moonsfield

12:33 am

Bugsaw

Don't you love the way it folds around in yor mouth when you say it out loud?

12:34 am

jillibus

oh yes, bugs!

12:35 am

jillibus

I may come up with a better word for my icon some time

12:36 am

You do these every day and always try to teach us something. I just use the choices to see where my mind goes.

1:29 am

rururocks

1:30 am

jillibus

why not, ruru?

1:30 am

rururocks

looks a bit big...I have a lot to do tomorrow.

1:32 am

Just1Mar

Don't start

1:33 am

jillibus

well, ruru, I'm just over halfway and watching Six Degrees of Separation at the same time

1:33 am

rururocks

* splash *

1:34 am

Just1Mar

figures

1:34 am

rururocks

thanks for the encouragement Just..lol

1:34 am

PAV3

the news from today is nyet...evidently my boss's advice upon leaving is that the new executive director needs an HR -focused administrative director and not a financial-focused director, presumably because I will be sticking around to be the finance guru...I was also told my exiting boss did not recommend me for anything else...the budget presentation went well, and I was given "brownie points" for making a workable and beneficial suggestion on another issue...

1:35 am

Just1Mar

your funereal ru.lol

1:36 am

Just1Mar

sigh pav...the shenanigans of corporate bullshit

1:36 am

dart001

firewords 10 mins ago...lost the net :(

1:36 am

Just1Mar

heya dartie...wtg!

1:37 am

dart001

hiya just

1:37 am

jillibus

that's tough, pav. Dcseain had bad news too.utes

1:37 am

PAV3

a belated YIPPEE! for dart...

1:37 am

Just1Mar

how are you? long time no speak!

1:37 am

J. C.

Jill, you have mail - please read. (And thank you.) :)

1:37 am

PAV3

oh? what did I miss?

1:37 am

J. C.

Oh no - what's wrong with Seain, Jilli? :(

1:37 am

jillibus

oops

1:37 am

Just1Mar

what's DC's bad news???

1:38 am

J. C.

I haven't seen him yesterday at all, or today so far?!

1:38 am

jillibus

he's unemployed

1:38 am

rururocks

oh no...

1:38 am

Just1Mar

<======...hates bad news :(

1:38 am

Just1Mar

ahhh crap....suddenly???

1:38 am

J. C.

Oh no!!! :(

1:39 am

jillibus

I gather -- he posted in FB

1:39 am

J. C.

That is sudden, yes - he had no idea it was coming. :(

1:39 am

PAV3

ugh!...this doesn't seem at all fair...

1:39 am

Just1Mar

FB...for babblers?

1:39 am

J. C.

A lot of things apparently, are far from fair. :?

1:39 am

Just1Mar

Sigh...life is not fair JC

1:40 am

J. C.

But sadly, that's life - and people, too.

1:40 am

dart001

normal FB just

1:40 am

Just1Mar

always the good ones who get fu**ed

1:40 am

J. C.

Speaking of which, did you get the e-mail, Jill?

1:40 am

J. C.

Seems to be the case, yes . . .

1:40 am

PAV3

you're correct J.C., but at some point the "good guys" must at least score, yes?

1:40 am

Just1Mar

oh ...don't know his real name so guess I can't access it

1:40 am

jillibus

just going to check now, JC

1:40 am

J. C.

I don't understand Seain losing his job. :/

1:41 am

rururocks

didn't he work for the US government?

1:41 am

J. C.

Well who knows, PAV . . . who indeed, knows?!

1:41 am

J. C.

OK, Jilli . . .

1:42 am

PAV3

DC was a federal worker ..it could have been political...or just wrong time in the wrong place...

1:42 am

Just1Mar

Pav...what happened to your flag?

1:44 am

PAV3

I shouldn't be too saddened by my news..the other shoe has yet to drop...they need an HR-focused administrator because the scuttlebutt says they're getting rid of my counterpart in HR and she doesn't know it yet...

1:44 am

J. C.

I don't know, PAV - but I feel terrible for him! :( It's the last thing he needs, and I hope he'll be able to find something else, quickly!

1:44 am

PAV3

Just...I was vacationing the world from my home whilst escaping the intense AZ heat...

1:44 am

Just1Mar

ain't corporate life grand? eh?

1:45 am

Just1Mar

oh Pav and yesterday had to put the heat on in my basement where computer is...either that or eternal goosebumps :(

1:45 am

PAV3

I feel bad for anyone losing their livelihood when they aren't the problem...

1:46 am

Just1Mar

Such a cutthroat world today... :(

1:46 am

J. C.

That's normal for our summers, Just . . . although, we have had a couple 'heat-waves' during this one.

1:46 am

PAV3

yesterday it was about 113 outside , and today the same, and tomorrow perhaps...

1:46 am

rururocks

glad I am self-employed

1:46 am

J. C.

That it certainly is, Just . . .

1:47 am

rururocks

104 here pav

1:47 am

J. C.

Yes, ruru - a definite advantage.

1:47 am

Just1Mar

hubby is self employed too, but that can pose its own problems too....

1:47 am

rururocks

yeah.. like working too many hours

1:48 am

PAV3

but only if you have a skill that people can use...

1:48 am

Just1Mar

exactly....plus hoping sales keep coming through

1:49 am

Just1Mar

hubby works a min 60 hour week...

1:49 am

J. C.

I know that feeling, ruru . . .

1:50 am

PAV3

I don't know about self-employment for myself...there are days I don't want to see me...and then misery does love company...

1:50 am

Just1Mar

no perks...no ins...no nothing

1:50 am

rururocks

I work 60-70 most weeks

1:50 am

jillibus

damn, missed the end of the movie

1:50 am

rururocks

really interferes with my babbling I must say

1:50 am

PAV3

and I'm only working roughly 50 hrs /wk

1:50 am

Just1Mar

thank god for "the dreaded socialized" medicine and in QUE...the drug insurance program

1:51 am

J. C.

Thank you, Jilli - just got your reply. :)

1:52 am

Just1Mar

gov't pays 2/3's of any prescription drugs you need if you don't have private ins

1:52 am

PAV3

sounds reasonable Just...is the personal tax rate much higher?

1:53 am

jillibus

See -- the insurance companies here have found plenty of things to insure which are not covered by our single-payer system

1:53 am

rururocks

NBT in 10 minutes.. not bad

1:53 am

jillibus

toldjaso, ru!

1:53 am

PAV3

ruru...I'm still at 2 BT's

1:53 am

Just1Mar

well yes we pay high taxes but we do not have to pay any medical for doctors, hospitals, whatever...only dentistry is payable

1:54 am

rururocks

what does the 9 begin with?

1:55 am

PAV3

then viola! I shall emigrate to Canada...how are the winters? colder than Michigan? may I deduct my poopies as dependents?

1:55 am

jillibus

in BC we pay $54/mo for our medical plan

1:55 am

Just1Mar

as 8

1:55 am

Just1Mar

as9

1:55 am

jillibus

pav, the climate here in southern BC is similar to North Carolina

1:56 am

Just1Mar

the winters in Mtl are about the same as Mich...but where Jilli lives in BC it is milder

1:56 am

rururocks

thanks got it

1:56 am

PAV3

I've not been to NC...BC is north of Washington state, yes?

1:57 am

jillibus

well, time for bed here -- night all!

1:57 am

Just1Mar

night jilli

1:57 am

J. C.

Good night, Jilli - sleep well, and sweet dreams! :)

1:57 am

jillibus

yes, pav --same climate as Seattle but drier.

1:57 am

PAV3

night Jilli!

1:57 am

rururocks

night jilli.. sleep well hopefully see you tomorrow

1:57 am

Just1Mar

yes pav...directly above wash state is BC

1:57 am

jillibus

And happy day to you, JC

1:58 am

PAV3

hmmm...perhaps BC is in my future

1:58 am

Just1Mar

well hopefully Canada will let you in to work more easily than the US will let Canadians in to work

1:58 am

jillibus

nice flag you're flying now, pav, lol!

1:58 am

J. C.

Thank you, Jilli! :) Same to you, of course . . . ;)

1:59 am

Just1Mar

yes and g'night again jillibus

1:59 am

jillibus

and...*poof*

2:00 am

PAV3

well of course they will Just..I can do many things,,,just not lead an administrative division of a smallish state government agency

2:01 am

Just1Mar

Health care is run by the provinces...not the Federal Gov't...BC and Alberta have much better health care in some ways than we do here..

2:04 am

Just1Mar

but those who are deemed emergencies are treated immediately and with the greatest of care

2:06 am

PAV3

Just1Mar

2:10 am

rururocks

80 here

2:11 am

PAV3

it took me 24 tries to find 23 words to get to NBT...

2:11 am

Just1Mar

ohhh okay...

2:11 am

PAV3

in this case...if I had all NBT's in 23 words, I'd have done very well...

2:12 am

Just1Mar

I try for NBT's but if that ain't working I just go for quantity lol

2:13 am

PAV3

well I wanted a challenge within the challenge and to ignore the big-word finders in the chat...

2:13 am

Just1Mar

heheh I hear ya

2:14 am

Just1Mar

sigh..the bu's are a bit**

3:23 am

Just1Mar

3:27 am

TraderKate

3:27 am

dcseain

It's been a long time since i've been back to Montreal.

3:27 am

Just1Mar

well here in Quebec you're better off having a passport than enhanced driver's permit

3:28 am

dcseain

it's on our short list

3:28 am

dcseain

why say you that, Just

3:28 am

Just1Mar

cause for the price of an enhanced driver's permit...you may as well have a passport

3:28 am

dcseain

ah, fair enough :)

3:29 am

TraderKate

Andree

no i dont

4:18 am

TraderKate

4:18 am

To be under du6/24 is to be under pressure, to be forced to do something

4:18 am

TraderKate

se haz's clue for 6/24

4:19 am

o-o

without the u, the du 6 would be a woman's garment with a bodice; pl

You're welcome, Andree.

4:22 am

TraderKate

we, the unwilling,
led by the unknowing,
are doing the impossible,
for the ungrateful.
we have been doing so much,
with so little for so long,

4:22 am

WITH NOTHING

ty. bye andree

4:30 am

TraderKate

must dive back into grid....have barely made aq dent in it so far

4:31 am

suefrad625

I hope I didnt offend you

4:32 am

TraderKate

not at all sue....knew another slightly diff. version...slightly messier too

4:32 am

suefrad625

lol

4:34 am

TraderKate

have been chatting for hours and not done a single word. have to go to lickety and can't see chat from ther...am in and out of babble page not gone. not ignoring. will be back in a bit

4:46 am

suefrad625

Trader, you still here?

4:47 am

TraderKate

i'm here sue

4:47 am

suefrad625

you dont have to go in and out of lickety, you can right click on the lickety link on the bottom and tell it to open to a different window. Then resize each window so you can see both of them at the same time.

4:49 am

TraderKate

i'll try. don't know crap about no computer stuff. thought that was something you could only do in babble expert. here goes nothing

4:51 am

suefrad625

after u open the new window, just go to the very top right hand corner of your window and if there is a double box, click it once so you can size the window to allow you to see both

4:52 am

TraderKate

well that waqs an abysmal failure...got window open...ontop of babble window, but have no idea how to resize...sigh

4:53 am

TraderKate

will try again now that i read your instructions...

4:53 am

suefrad625

not a failure, you learned how to open two windows

4:57 am

TraderKate

sometimes double box waqs ther, sometimes not...lots of clicking going on...clicked double box nothin happened

4:59 am

suefrad625

lol, if it is a double box that means it is maxed out, if it is single it is sizeable. when it is single, position your cursor on the side until your arrow becomes a double arrow, hold down the Left mouse button and drag it into the middle of the page. You can do the same for the top and bottom.

5:03 am

TraderKate

here's a cute 2 min video for your trouble

5:04 am

TraderKate

okay sue, but it doesn't compress it, from the right, th chat disappears?

5:05 am

suefrad625

yes, unless you make your windows smaller.

5:06 am

(and a cartoon)(if u like thi one there are 2 more, same artist, same cat)

5:07 am

suefrad625

min your windows by clicking on the Underscore in the top right corner, they will clear the screen by putting your windows on the task bar at the bottom. then when you are back on your desktop, you right click, left click on PROPERTIES, click on the SETTING icon, then slide the "screen resolution to a bigger number.

5:08 am

suefrad625

how are you putting your words into lickety?

5:10 am

TraderKate

manually, copy/ paste from babble list. then i hand write a bit of the list of words still missing with word before and after for ref. and the points. then back to babble to try again...

5:11 am

TraderKate

still digesting your last instructions...must get some tea. brb

5:26 am

zoozzoom

I think i will survive..lol..just annoying as i had no control over it.

5:27 am

TraderKate

what did ylou do with the extra 30 minutes you had, since you wouldn't be using it for COMPLETING puzzle?

5:29 am

zoozzoom

spent the time TRYING to get the internet to work..only to find out this morning that it was the ISP`s who had a fault :-)

5:29 am

TraderKate

it's not nice to upset zoomzoom's routine...bad, bad internet provider....you should sue for mental anguish

5:30 am

zoozzoom

Now thats an idea :0)

5:31 am

TraderKate

a truly tragic state of affairs zooz. it's still a bit eaqrly, but perhaps a small gin might be in order...to combat all that frustration?

5:32 am

zoozzoom

Well it is not too early 11:31am but i think a nice cup of tea will suffice.

5:32 am

TraderKate

was there much gnashing of teeth? beating of breasts? tearing out hair? you poor thing

5:34 am

zoozzoom

Not at 03:00am no..just came home from being with friends..and wanted to finish the grid..still all back to normal for now(fingers crossed) will complete this grid.

5:36 am

TraderKate

zooz - is your icon exercising its tongue? intriguing ... not sure whether it's compelling or repelling

5:37 am

TraderKate

best get to it then..before the gremlins return ( knock wood)

5:37 am

zoozzoom

lol, my son got me that icon :-)

5:38 am

TraderKate

we'll have him explain, shall we?

5:39 am

zoozzoom

I think it is his rebellious nature that comes out in the icon, i`m sure he found the icon amusing.

5:42 am

Uneaixoise

Today's icon is "favorite words" :-)

Haz1558

Bye Wolvie.

8:09 am

movieman

8:10 am

Haz1558

se8 - plural of se7/28 - begins like a novel or programme in parts, ends with consumed food

Atalante

why do you have a large weightlifter as an icon, haz?

8:10 am

movieman

ta haz

8:11 am

Andree

bye wolvie

8:11 am

Haz1558

It should have changed - I'm seeing Spangle. The weightlifter was for yesterday, to illustrate steroids. How not to...

8:11 am

Uneaixoise

8:11 am

hurshy

i see spangle

8:11 am

Uneaixoise

I'm only seeing Spangle . . .

8:12 am

Andree

i see spangle

8:12 am

Atalante

wah! I want to see Spangle to!

8:13 am

Haz1558

You're supposed to eat cookies and clear up caches, but maybe not advisable under present circumstances.

8:13 am

hurshy

*chuckle*

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i see spangle.. it unnerves me if i do not. but i can quit this game any time...

8:14 am

Atalante

eat cookies? I wouldn't dare :p

8:15 am

hurshy

hey, i do want to meet hobbit and sily - never heard a cat mi5 or a dog bark with a british accent!

8:15 am

Haz1558

It was only after I typed the cookies thing that I realised. Moving swiftly on..

8:15 am

Atalante

hobbit has a very distinguished woof

8:15 am

72 Temple Owl

*goes to fridge for choc chip banana bread*

8:16 am

Atalante

but not half as much as Spangle

8:16 am

Haz1558

<--------- very distinguished bark.

8:17 am

Atalante

that looks *really* funny with the weightlifter. you're pointing to his butt

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL

8:17 am

Haz1558

She can bark in three octaves. It's the Welsh in her, wonderful singers.

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

hey ata - there is a new immigration program, have you heard?

8:18 am

Atalante

and she can howl, can't she?

8:18 am

Haz1558

Absolutely.

8:18 am

Atalante

a new one *groan* I'm having enough difficulty understadning the current ones!

8:18 am

Atalante

hobbit doesn't howl

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

an exchange program. you can only come in if posh goes back. otherwise the west coast won't balance ;)

8:19 am

herinfernallady

No one wants that person

8:19 am

Haz1558

You don't want to keep Posh? How come?

8:20 am

72 Temple Owl

pos/ata posh/ata...

8:20 am

Haz1558

That generous smile? That natural look?

8:20 am

Atalante

please send her back, I don't want her in the same continent again!

8:20 am

72 Temple Owl

:D

8:21 am

herinfernallady

Would she be sent by small parcel air mail?

8:21 am

Uneaixoise

that nutlike tan

8:21 am

72 Temple Owl

hehe

8:21 am

Uneaixoise

herin LOL!!!

8:21 am

herinfernallady

She just frightens me

8:22 am

Haz1558

She has her own tan artist. She needs a new optician.

8:22 am

EspritdJean

thought I read recently she wants more kids

8:22 am

Andree

will need a shipping container for her handbags alone

8:22 am

Haz1558

And interrupt her fashion career?

8:23 am

Vicuna

We have Posh? Posh has kids? Gee, I just can't seem to keep current.

8:23 am

Atalante

I thought she said she didn't. who knows!

8:23 am

EspritdJean

who knows, maybe to have someone else carry it for her

8:23 am

Haz1558

When the newspapers can't think of another story, they raise the prospect of her wanting more children.

8:23 am

EspritdJean

maybe jon & kate could donate one or two of theirs

8:23 am

Atalante

and jordan's definitely not pregnant

8:23 am

Haz1558

The same trick works for Madonna, Angelina Jolie etc.

8:24 am

72 Temple Owl

oh puh-LEASE

8:24 am

herinfernallady

Jordan is definitely up there with words I must not say in public

8:24 am

EspritdJean

jordan?

8:24 am

72 Temple Owl

kate as view substitue co host it boggles the mind

8:24 am

Haz1558

Just when you thought she couldn't get any tackier, she does.

8:24 am

EspritdJean

pass the emesis basin TO

8:25 am

Haz1558

Esprit - Jordan - a public embarrassment.

8:25 am

Atalante

she now has the ugliest boyfriend in the world

8:25 am

Haz1558

Her shortest book would be 'Dignity'

8:25 am

Vicuna

Jordan = dreadful celebrity they haven't managed to export to us yet, Esprit.

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

well ocotmom looks somewhat like posh around the eyes and cheekbones...she won't miss a kid or two

8:25 am

EspritdJean

8:25 am

EspritdJean

ah

8:25 am

EspritdJean

8:25 am

Haz1558

8:26 am

Haz1558

Take a wee drink first, Esprite.

8:26 am

Haz1558

Esprit*

8:26 am

EspritdJean

8:26 am

72 Temple Owl

8:27 am

Vicuna

Hello, TO and all! =D

8:27 am

herinfernallady

night All i just drifted off to sleep on the couch

8:28 am

Haz1558

Winehouse has a talent that she's wasting. Jordan has false chest as6/18 and a shrewd business brain.

8:28 am

Atalante

and an ugly boyfriend

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

ty haz i had neglected that plural

8:29 am

As you can gather, Ata and I aren't fans.

8:38 am

Mom

8:38 am

afflamed

8:41 am

Haz1558

Poor puppy.

8:41 am

afflamed

hes very sad and clingy

8:41 am

Haz1558

crosshair is awarded the Bacon award for Babbling excellence.

8:41 am

Atalante

Dr Goza? oh I've met him. He wanted to put down a puppy we rescued because we couldn't find his owner

8:41 am

afflamed

Ive had a zoo as far back as i can remember, thus many many vet bills, and Dr Goza is by far the least expensive Ive ever come across

8:42 am

Mom

good morning Crossy. Care to share the first two letters of the 9?

8:42 am

crosshair

8:42 am

afflamed

thats unusual, hes a pet lover that typically saves under the most unusual conditions

8:44 am

crosshair

howdy Y.O

8:45 am

Atalante

we've been hanging around Bayshore over the last few weeks, Sheila's been constantly looking after our cat that has acute kidney failure. She's a star

8:45 am

crosshair

T.O even

8:45 am

afflamed

when that same cat after 10 years of love had a heart attack Dr Goza helped himm go and took care of him for me for free. I was devastated

8:45 am

afflamed

8:47 am

afflamed

I took that same cat when he was a kitten for his first round of shots to the warrenton vet and it was 165 dollars for 2 shots and a 2 min look over, I was like WHAT? 165? STFU.

8:48 am

Haz1558

I can hear noises in the kitchen - husband is starting to put away shopping so I'd better go and help. Back later.

8:48 am

Atalante

jinx just had 3 days in hospital there, daily blood work-ups, all sorts of kidney stuff, IV fluids constantly, and 2 consultation charges, and it was about $400

8:48 am

afflamed

the only other Dr I accept is the one in Jeffers Gardens, Dr schlattery or something like that, hes really sweet

8:48 am

72 Temple Owl

laterm haz.

8:48 am

Atalante

which is still cheaper than it would be here lol

8:49 am

Atalante

I'm not convinced about Brad Pope, but Sheila Kilponen is a truly excellent vet

8:49 am

crosshair

aea what you just said would be 2 thousand here

8:49 am

crosshair

ata even

8:50 am

afflamed

I cant stand pope. He and I have had exchanges in his office and out. Hes pompous and full of himself. Ugh.

8:50 am

Atalante

oh - that $400 also included a month's worth of meds and IV lines etc

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

easily.

8:50 am

crosshair

id keep him

8:50 am

Atalante

yeah, I don't like him much. Sheila is the star there

8:51 am

72 Temple Owl

any dh words?

8:51 am

Atalante

the first night jinx was in hospital and touch and go, Sheila stayed all night with her and phoned us every few hours to update us. she really goes beyond what she needs to

8:51 am

afflamed

My neighbors across the street, their dog was hit by a truck one night and stuck under the tires and dragged 25 ft, front nerve dmg, missing skin everywhere, 2 broken legs I was like oh that dogs gone, dr Goza, middle of the night 2 operations and under 200 dollars

Atalante

8:55 am

afflamed

when i was breaking down in the office telling fred bye Dr Goza stayed with me and was very consoling, i just love the way he cares, it was so admirable. Our shelter here is a no kill shelter....BUT that term is negotiable as Ive known them to make exceptions.

8:56 am

afflamed

I have to think he knew something about that puppy. Ive known goza to keep strays in the office till he found a home. Hes a sucker for them. do u know his story with his kids?

8:56 am

Atalante

yes, me too. omg, I came across the wildlife rescue place up by the fairgrounds a few months ago. *they* are amazing

8:56 am

Atalante

his kids rings a vague bell, but can't remember, no

8:57 am

afflamed

9:26 am

Anniebrook

Living in the city does not give one great experiences like that.

9:26 am

Atalante

I defy anyone to look at that baby and leave him to get run over! there was another couple helping catch him, but they couldn't take him cos they had a dog in their car

9:26 am

Atalante

oh yeah - that deer thing crapped all over me too!

9:26 am

afflamed

Oh ya! I was telling you my friends that were hit by the log truck: their trk was totaled and one of them had all kinds of broken ribs and shoulder and his partner got out of it with scrapes and bruises. The seriously injured driver still has problems driving down that street

9:26 am

crosshair

quite a experience eh ata? lol

9:26 am

Anniebrook

I couldnt leave a fawn. Not with those eyes/

9:27 am

Atalante

9:27 am

afflamed

that particular road is bad bad im surprised that dear wasnt struck

9:27 am

Atalante

exactly! and they *squeak*! they sound like dogs' squeaky toys

9:27 am

Atalante

9:27 am

afflamed

crosshair

9:29 am

afflamed

Im totally in teh doghouse arent I?

9:29 am

Atalante

the good thing was the rescue centre had 5 other fawnlings of his age, so immediately he would have got a new group of brats to play with

9:29 am

crosshair

yup

9:29 am

jmcnrick

I was amused to find in that in Guatemala they had a refuge for White Tail Deer which most people around here would gladly give away to them.

72 Temple Owl

9:34 am

Haz1558

9:34 am

ANTS! the bane of my existence (wish i cud spell check here)

Anniebrook

9:36 am

howdy elder

9:37 am

9:37 am

beachboggle

hi elder

9:37 am

Haz1558

Elder! Lovely to see you!

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

well actually three in a puddle of syrup don't know how that happened hi elder

9:37 am

jmcnrick

one of them brought a delicious zucchini chocolate cake and we left it on the counter for 15 minutes

9:37 am

jmcnrick

hi elder

9:38 am

elder

Good to see familiar faces.

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

oh no how awful

9:38 am

jmcnrick

when we walked back in to the kitchen it was covered with about a million of them---I was so embarrased

9:38 am

Haz1558

How have you been, elder?

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

je: terro liquid ant baits

9:39 am

jmcnrick

I even had to tell my veggi friend that I wasn't sure the food was vegetarian since I was fairly sure there were dead ants in it lol!

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

on line folks say it is boric acid with sugar syrup.

9:39 am

jmcnrick

I try to avoid poisons

9:39 am

jmcnrick

boric acid is as toxic as I can stand

9:40 am

elder

Haz, I have had a few weeks of being poorly, first my back, then throat infection, followed by flu , then another throat infection. I have tried to pop in sometimes but could not sustain sitting here. Still a bit wobbly but making good progress.

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

boric acid is not poison the strictest sense

9:40 am

jmcnrick

I even have to kill ants while I babble because they are on my computer keys!

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

compared to insecticide

9:40 am

Haz1558

Poor elder! I'm glad to hear you're getting a little better.

9:40 am

jmcnrick

glad you are feeling better elder

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

je you jmust have a nest somewhere outside

9:41 am

Haz1558

Your back is an ongoing problem, isn't it?

9:41 am

elder

I have missed so much chat so hope all is well with you and other Babblers.

9:41 am

Haz1558

I'm fine - I'm sure you'll get caught up eventually with all the news.

9:41 am

elder

yes Haz. most times manageable but every so often it lets me down badly.

9:41 am

afflamed

OMG, you certainly have my sympathies JMC - ants are truly a nightmare

9:42 am

jmcnrick

I remind myself how benign they compared to when the termites attacked my house! lol

9:42 am

Haz1558

It's got to be so frustrating. I've had mild back problems and dread them getting more frequent or more severe. Are you having physio or anything?

9:43 am

suefrad625

ar6 pls

9:43 am

jmcnrick

ooh elder and haz a bad back is a terrible thing

9:43 am

afflamed

elder - if your problem is chronic have you considered a pain management clinic? I went to one several years ago for back pain and it chgd my life

9:43 am

Shirlockc

ar6 = to get up but add a vowel

9:44 am

jmcnrick

*gives haz and elder back support pillows for their chairs*

9:44 am

suefrad625

ty

9:45 am

Haz1558

(I'm sitting up nice and straight)

9:45 am

elder

Haz, as with all body parts we don't realise how efficient they are until they let us down. I do periodically have injections but the relief does not last long term but lovely for a few months.

9:45 am

jmcnrick

make sure you have a curve in your back haz

9:46 am

Haz1558

I know. How often do you notice swallowing until you have a sore throat?

9:46 am

crosshair

#243 on the list of things that drive crossy crazy! every time,and i mean every time i go in the fridge,the mild container has 1/4 inch left in the bag! nobody will ever put a fresh one in! i swear they would all walk around here for a week dying of thirst before they would put a new bag of milk in the darn container!!!..pant!..ok im better now:)

9:46 am

jmcnrick

I actually had to quit going to meeting for worship (church) for about 6 onths because I couldn't sit that long

9:46 am

afflamed

I actually take a low dose time release morphine pill every morning and i know it sounds scary but it seriously allows me to function

9:47 am

elder

Haz. Sitting properly can be difficult when your in discomfort so well done you.

9:47 am

jmcnrick

*months

9:47 am

Haz1558

It's funny, you imagine that sitting would ease things, but it's actually the most painful sometimes.

9:48 am

jmcnrick

lord I would get tired of standing and think *i'll sit down* and halfway down to the chair I would *lord no@ this hurts too much*

9:48 am

elder

Foetal position works well for me most times.

9:48 am

jmcnrick

I could only stand or lie on my back for nearly a year

9:48 am

afflamed

i find laying on the ground with my legs up flat on teh wall is the best - forces a flat back for stretching

9:48 am

crosshair

been there elder,when i herniated 3 disks in my spine i spent 4 weeks slowly walking in circles and taking codiene

9:49 am

jmcnrick

usually you want your back to curve in like in the cat pose in yoga

9:49 am

Wolvie

beautiful icon and writeup, jmc

1:43 pm

jmcnrick

ty I learned sign when my husband went deaf and I still like it

1:44 pm

jmcnrick

it is great to know when you want to leave a party or yell at your kid in public

1:44 pm

sprite

one of those things I would still like to learn some day

1:44 pm

jmcnrick

it is different in each country

1:45 pm

jmcnrick

British sign uses two hands for their alphabet for example

1:45 pm

sprite

that makes it even harder then!

1:45 pm

lynxxx

really, how odd

1:45 pm

jmcnrick

American Sign is closer to French sign because Galludet came from France to help the deaf

1:45 pm

Shivs Fitz

Interesting, I didn't know that.

1:45 pm

jmcnrick

when the people went first to England to get help the British said they would help for a price

1:45 pm

doxy1lover

I have the as8, what are the other 2?

1:46 pm

sprite

I wonder about dutch then... I believe I have seen both onehanded and twohanded.

1:46 pm

jmcnrick

the French said here is how ours works and let me send my son with you to help establish it

1:46 pm

Shivs Fitz

Pluralise that one for the as9, doxy1lover.

1:46 pm

jmcnrick

perhaps the french influence up through belgium eh?

1:47 pm

lynxxx

du8 and se8

1:47 pm

doxy1lover

I have the 9. I want to know the other 2 8-letter words

1:47 pm

afflamed

ok - I am looking in the A2Z wordfinder for a 5 letter TY word and of the 17 offered none work :((

1:47 pm

sprite

could very well be, oral dutch is a mixture of many languages too

1:47 pm

jmcnrick

that is the nicest story about the french i know! lol

1:48 pm

Shivs Fitz

Which one, afflamed? Is it the ty5,14?

1:48 pm

jmcnrick

I had a dutch friend when I was a child and she tried to teach me -- what? flemish? -- but I could never get teh guttural sound right

1:48 pm

doxy1lover

ty lynxx. will look

1:48 pm

lynxxx

got the tu6.27 afflamed, drop the u

1:48 pm

Shivs Fitz

If so it's a plural of the ty4,5 before it.

1:49 pm

jmcnrick

ty lynxx

1:49 pm

jmcnrick

got to go get my beets out the boiling water brb

1:49 pm

afflamed

ahh! ty!

1:49 pm

sprite

flemish is no dutch, it is one of the 2 main languages of belgium.
And yes, those guttural sounds are close to impossible for most foreigners :)

1:50 pm

sprite

I have a du8

1:50 pm

jmcnrick

oh well maybe she was teaching me dutch -- I was 8 and a little vague about it all

1:50 pm

Shivs Fitz

Same here.

1:51 pm

jmcnrick

when I heard the flemish in Brussels it sound Dutch to my untrained ear

1:51 pm

doxy1lover

got the 8's, ty sprite.

1:51 pm

sprite

dutch is a very tough language to learn!
And Flemish and Dutch are a lot like eachother, especially if you don't speak either

1:51 pm

doxy1lover

oops, ty lynxxx

1:51 pm

sprite

wtg doxy

1:52 pm

doxy1lover

still have 160 to go.

1:52 pm

jmcnrick

well I can honestly say I do not speak either! lol

1:52 pm

jmcnrick

1:52 pm

redturtlehead

Hi all, I am at 181. Had a lot of naps and breaks...

1:53 pm

jmcnrick

hi red naps are good

1:53 pm

sprite

lol jmc! And why would you, since almost all dutchies speak english...

1:53 pm

lynxxx

hi Red

1:53 pm

sprite

hi red!

1:53 pm

afflamed

Shiv - You and i have much in common - organic gardening, love for the irish (altho u may not love them any longer)..... and living in a family home? Lucky you!

1:53 pm

Shivs Fitz

123 left here.

1:53 pm

jmcnrick

Well I try when I travel places -- I visited Kirkagard Gardens and the Hague when I was in Brussels

1:53 pm

afflamed

I adore an irish accent

1:54 pm

redturtlehead

I think I am trying to get sick, but with what I am unsure....maybe tired sickness if that exists.

1:54 pm

afflamed

and what an interesting job you have

1:54 pm

dan2bit

serious is a serious phantom - I must have tried it 4 or 5 times!

1:54 pm

jmcnrick

well perhaps you should try to get sick red -- just a thought

1:54 pm

sprite

that is special, jmc, most people don't. I like getting to know at least a few words from every country I visit.

1:54 pm

lynxxx

hi Dan

1:54 pm

jmcnrick

er I meant not try to get sick

1:54 pm

jmcnrick

hi dan

1:55 pm

dan2bit

hi lynx and everybody

1:55 pm

jmcnrick

I make sure I have looked up please, thank you, bathroom, yes, no, and tea

1:55 pm

sprite

that exists, I believe, red. I also believe that if you feel that way, you should be sick and get yourself a lot better before you get really overtired and all.

1:55 pm

redturtlehead

hi dan, i'll be trying not to get sick but its this wierd thing...

1:55 pm

sprite

lollll jmc! Especially the tea!

1:55 pm

jmcnrick

I had a terrible time in the Chech Republic because you nod no and shake your head yes

1:56 pm

sprite

hello dan2

1:56 pm

stidmama

*stealth hug @ sprite*

1:56 pm

redturtlehead

jmc that would be terrible. really. I would be getting all the wrong things.

1:56 pm

redturtlehead

hi stid.

1:56 pm

redturtlehead

Sprite, how are you feeling...

1:57 pm

sprite

jmc, that is confusing. When I was in Greece, I learned that the sign we use for waving, is there a sign for 'come here'. And our sign for 'come here' is very rude there.

1:57 pm

jmcnrick

oo red since I had mono 20+ years I make sure I don't get too tired because I will get sick for sure

1:57 pm

lynxxx

hi Stid

1:57 pm

Shivs Fitz

Lucky me, afflamed? After being out of the house for so many years, it's an adjustment being here again! The Irish, well I am Irish except for being born and raised here...my entire background. So yes, of course I love my family who are over there and feel an attachment to the country in a way.

1:57 pm

jmcnrick

it was very hard in the Chech Republic

1:57 pm

jmcnrick

Hi stiddie!

1:57 pm

sprite

stiddie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *HGUS*

1:57 pm

stidmama

*bighuge grin* hello all

1:57 pm

redturtlehead

I'm trying to take it easy, my work schedule has been screwed up so things are not easy but I think its only for a week or two.

1:58 pm

jmcnrick

*fluffs a pillow for red*

1:58 pm

sprite

red: pretty desperate. So much would like to walk again and I don't seem able to. But I will, soon, I hope.

1:58 pm

jmcnrick

let me bring you a cup of tea

1:58 pm

sprite

*HUGS* even, stiddie :)

1:58 pm

afflamed

I am an irish/french mix, but i got all of my mothers appearances with the red hair light blue eyes and matching light skin lol

1:58 pm

stidmama

red, I got really really sick last week -- caught a nasty virus that hit at the same time as the migraine on the last day of the meeting. I think you should call in sick before it's for real.

1:58 pm

redturtlehead

Oh sprite, that is not good news. I surely hope things improve.

1:58 pm

jmcnrick

{{{{sprite}}}}

1:59 pm

redturtlehead

Well, stid, I have today and Sunday off, and I expect Monday to be an easy day...

1:59 pm

stidmama

*puts choclit where sprite can almost reach it...* and it's not a case of "wishing makes it better" at all.

1:59 pm

jmcnrick

goodness! *runs over to hug stiddie*

1:59 pm

stidmama

*moves choclit closer to sprite*

1:59 pm

sprite

aw stid, how awful! How are you now? Make sure you take time to rest up before storming on, ok?

1:59 pm

afflamed

The family home thing sounds just cozy though. I imagine rural england, green pastures about, low lying fog, warm fireplace playing scrabble . :))

2:00 pm

Shivs Fitz

Hiya stidmama.

2:00 pm

stidmama

I am all better now, jmc. turned in the last of the schoolwork yesterday and today have NO direction. feels weird.

2:00 pm

stidmama

hey shivs!

2:00 pm

jmcnrick

that is what I hate about this silly sabbatical thing

2:00 pm

stidmama

how's the grid today anyway? better than yesterday? about the same?

2:00 pm

sprite

it is not a permanent thing. Just really overtaxed myself and now my muscles and brain don't work together. The brain fires off the right messages but they don't reach the muscles, or so they tell me.

2:00 pm

jmcnrick

no direction

2:00 pm

redturtlehead

stid, jmc, if you all have nothing to do, my house desperately needs a good clean.

2:00 pm

Shivs Fitz

LOL, no afflamed...don't live out in the countryside. We're in a suburb of Greenwich, beside a water tower, pub on the next corner.

2:00 pm

PAV3

hi all! how're your weekends?

2:01 pm

stidmama

jmc, if you feel really really at a loss, come and help me put my office back together. Working WITH someone is a big motivator for me!

2:01 pm

jmcnrick

*sends healing thoughts sprites direction*

2:01 pm

stidmama

hey PAV!!! ((hugs))

2:01 pm

jmcnrick

hi pav

2:02 pm

stidmama

hey FM!! ((((((HUGS for mentioning the weightloss))))))) how is your move going?

2:02 pm

lynxxx

I think we need a Babble sick room as well as a PB. Let's see - , chocolate, good healthy food, deliciously soft but supportive beds with nice strong good looking male nurses to fluff the pillows.

2:02 pm

sprite

thanks for all the good thoughts and wishes, all :) I know they will help.

2:02 pm

lynxxx

Hi FM

2:02 pm

sprite

I might never leave then, lyn, lol

2:02 pm

PAV3

2:02 pm

FMitch

Hi lynxxx, red, jmc et al

2:02 pm

redturtlehead

I think we could all stay there for a long time...

2:02 pm

stidmama

sprite -- we will love you whether you stand or sit, walk or roll. As I hope my family will love me whether I ever lose the cane/crutches or not.

2:03 pm

stidmama

hey lynxxx!

2:03 pm

jmcnrick

well i think that br, ru and torg and others might prefer a female nurse

2:03 pm

lynxxx

hi Pav, of course!

2:03 pm

stidmama

*reserves space in lynxxx's sick room*

2:03 pm

afflamed

LMAO the penalty box is a classic, i love the punching bag

2:03 pm

FMitch

lol stiddy and tons of hugs back to you :)

2:03 pm

sprite

stid, thanks for those words. *big hug and grateful smile*

2:03 pm

Shirlockc

hi all, does anyone have clue for sa6, the first?

2:04 pm

Shivs Fitz

You need a punching bag to take your frustrations out on, when you can't find words.

2:04 pm

sprite

jmc, absolutely. We should have both. And babblers who get sick, get to choose their own nurses.

2:04 pm

FMitch

red - haven't seen you for ages too, how are you ?

2:04 pm

redturtlehead

I'm good, very very tired, but good. You? How are you FM?

2:05 pm

jmcnrick

I use the cabana boy 1 to take out my frustrations in a nonviolent manner ;-)

2:05 pm

stidmama

sa 6? *looking*

2:05 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, exactly what does that mean?

2:05 pm

sprite

that is why he loves you best, jmc

2:08 pm

stidmama

2:08 pm

stidmama

I am going to hit 100 (found) and then put one more box of things away. and then take a nap. just because I can...

2:08 pm

stidmama

need 47 more.

2:09 pm

FMitch

((PAV)) and saw that news re DC too.

2:09 pm

sprite

am really sorry to hear about both of you, PAV. I hope something even better will come up soon.

2:09 pm

sprite

lovely, stid

2:09 pm

redturtlehead

Pav, thats a good attitude. I am hoping that Seain is goig to actually be cleared.

2:09 pm

lynxxx

Seems like sensible thinking Pav, who needs more headaches

2:09 pm

stidmama

wait wait. WHAT news about DC? I knew PAV was not having good job luck...

2:10 pm

redturtlehead

DC's cleared for A job was denied...

2:10 pm

stidmama

how can that be? not get clearance? this is very very unwelcome news

2:11 pm

sprite

that is odd. Does he know why?

2:11 pm

lynxxx

Not yet

2:11 pm

redturtlehead

I dont think even he knows why but they are reviewing it.

2:11 pm

FMitch

aparently there was a glitch stiddy and he was escorted off the premesis

2:12 pm

FMitch

gah my spelling is going out of the window as usual.

2:12 pm

sprite

sounds like some stupid mixup

2:12 pm

lynxxx

He was saying he got some great references though

2:12 pm

redturtlehead

oooh I had not heard the escorted part wow.

2:12 pm

stidmama

oh no! *crying sad* he's one of my best babble friends!!!!

2:13 pm

FMitch

DC has talked about it in the log much earlier today

2:13 pm

PAV3

my exiting boss wouldn't even recommend me for a higher position, I'm only good enough to do the job I have he says...

2:13 pm

stidmama

okay, I will go look at the log.

2:13 pm

stidmama

PAV, I am sending VERY BAD vibes to your exiting boss. And hope the door boots him into the next century. *indignant mama look*

2:14 pm

FMitch

feel for you PAV

2:14 pm

lynxxx

huumph - aren't you glad he's gone then Pav!

2:14 pm

PAV3

never mind that for the past 6 1/2 years I've been saving his butt...

2:14 pm

sprite

can't believe he is right, PAV.

2:14 pm

sprite

I bet he couldn't do your job, let alone his own

2:15 pm

PAV3

but he was the one who plucked me from unemployment when I needed it...

2:16 pm

PAV3

Oh he admits I'm very good at governmental accounting, budgeting and purchasing, but not at a higher level..Deputy or Division Director...

2:16 pm

sprite

that was a good thing, but it doesn't excuse his negativity

2:16 pm

FMitch

am so glad that I work for myself. did the Corporate work for 25+ years

2:17 pm

Shivs Fitz

Me too, FMitch. Although I do some work part time for another company.

2:17 pm

PAV3

I figure I have a good 20 years left...with elections coming up next year, he may lose his latest posit in t he next 18 months or so...

2:17 pm

FMitch

It is tough though isn't it Shivs?

2:18 pm

Shivs Fitz

Sure is, FMitch.

2:19 pm

redturtlehead

Eeew pav, thats unfortunate. I feel again blessed to be in the in demand profession, as much as it may be quite unpleasant at times.

2:19 pm

Shivs Fitz

Nothing's ever perfect, red...no job.

2:20 pm

sprite

that is fireflies and bedtime for me. Bye all, have a good time.

2:20 pm

PAV3

I've been told high ranking members in our state legislature and governor;s office are not happy with our independently elected commissioners for not choosing my boss as the new Exec Director, forcing him out....could bode poorly for my agency in budget talks...

2:20 pm

lynxxx

You know, it is exactly 2 years since zi retired from my last job and I still fell sick about it when I hear you guys talk

2:20 pm

FMitch

mmmm esp these days, given the economic climate.

2:20 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no. there are moments though when I do wonder what its like to go through a day without being peed on, cursed at, vomited on, coughed on, etc....

2:21 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Sprite! see you again soon

2:21 pm

PAV3

red...you aren't a professional lady are you...just kidding,taht's only in Nevada! some brevity for our serious employment posts...

2:21 pm

Shivs Fitz

Goodness red, what do you do for a living?

2:21 pm

redturtlehead

Congratulations Sprite, rest well, I am looking forward to hear you are feeling better!

2:21 pm

FMitch

lynxxx you are retired now so enjoy!

2:21 pm

stidmama

jmcnrick

bye stiddie

2:34 pm

Atalante

2:35 pm

FMitch

yup jmc but ditto what red just said

2:35 pm

lynxxx

sooo cute Ata

2:35 pm

redturtlehead

I think he has had clearance before so the review I hope will work...

2:36 pm

Aloyisius

bye stid..(waves)

2:36 pm

jmcnrick

they usually won't tell you why you flunked the clearance -- you have to guess and guess right (so as not to make things worse) and then explain it

2:36 pm

Atalante

he was *adorable*

2:36 pm

FMitch

lynxxx

2:38 pm

Atalante

I was -8 :)

2:38 pm

lynxxx

haha

2:38 pm

FMitch

Was on the TV this afternoon and so evocative of the fight in the clasfroom that is still going on today and the unfairness of life in general but how formative a teacher can be.

2:38 pm

flosey

good afternoon

2:39 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I also have a gray head too, have since I was 22 its sad but its the way it is!

2:40 pm

redturtlehead

2:40 pm

Atalante

2:40 pm

flosey

every time I hit the apostrophe, i miss and hit enter

2:41 pm

o-o

Lulu

2:41 pm

PAV3

I've always felt teachers are the most noble of professions, instructing, guiding, helping , and mentoring, whilst painfully correcting the misguided youths

2:41 pm

FMitch

we just need Haz and a few others

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

and generally overworked and underpaid

2:41 pm

PAV3

well that too jmc...

2:42 pm

Aloyisius

amen, jmc

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

my aunt started teaching when she graduated HS at 18

2:42 pm

flosey

hubby was a teacher, retired 15 years ago and students still come to visit - very rewarding - especially since they're coming from Toronto area

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

she went to teachers college in the summer

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

she taught 52 years

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

my mother the piker only taught 43

2:43 pm

redturtlehead

My Dad was a teacher, and I am really surprised at the people that come back to see him... I swear he only taught for 30 yrs though...

2:43 pm

FMitch

Teachers are people that can change someones life,. But you never realise it until so many years later.

2:43 pm

PAV3

my mom became an educator at age 52

2:43 pm

lynxxx

That's terrfic Flosey, what a compliment

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

my sister got an email from one of my mother's students asking if she was her daughter and how she was

2:43 pm

Atalante

I'm still in contact with my headmistress from when I was 4 and 5. She guided my life even that early on

2:44 pm

flosey

ah jmc, isn't that a great feeling

2:44 pm

jmcnrick

we thought it was very sweet and mother -- who barely remembers us -- remembered him

2:45 pm

lynxxx

lol jmc, that IS sweet

2:45 pm

flosey

apparently that's quite natural, to remember people and events from way back

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

I have always felt that toer should be a word describing a ballet dancer

2:46 pm

flosey

makes sense jmc

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

I keep trying it in all puzzles but so far no one seems to agree with me

2:46 pm

o-o

Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try

2:46 pm

FMitch

OK
Name the most infulential teacher in your life just for their posterity - I have two: Mrs Wadmore (hated her but she taught me Math. and Mrs Cursue the Choir Mistress who taught me how to sing and the apprecation of music which I have loved eversince.

2:46 pm

Aloyisius

me too, jmc.. i always enter it, lol

2:47 pm

jmcnrick

my mother was the most influential teacher in my life

2:47 pm

Atalante

Mrs CUmmings - headmistress just mentioned. Mrs Parsons - also from age 4 and 5, class teacher

2:47 pm

flosey

my grade 9 science teacher is one I'll never forget

2:47 pm

jmcnrick

and I am not cheating -- I had her for advance english in HS

2:48 pm

Aloyisius

Miss Berg, 9th grade, who would accept nothing less than what she perceived to be your best effort

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

I always said she was a better teacher than a mother and that I was the only person on earth qualified to judge

2:48 pm

flosey

and the least liked - one I had for grade 2,3,4,5 - I think we just got tired of each other

2:48 pm

o-o

The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?

2:48 pm

FMitch

in a good or bad way flosey?

2:49 pm

Atalante

Mrs Cummings used to give me special lessons each week where I decided what to study. We covered volcanoes and mountains and goodness knows what else. She brought me back stuff from all over the world, and showed me how big and wonderful the world was. She brought me a vial of ash from the Mt St Helens eruption, and a wooden beaver fromCanada, among others

2:49 pm

Aloyisius

ah, BR.. I hear it clearly now

2:49 pm

flosey

oh FM, he was the best, just a great humanitarian

2:49 pm

Soodle

To Sir with love, Babble?

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

Mrs. Regan who taught 4th grade and said someday I would look back and thank her -- when ever I see people from that class we still say -- not thanking her What a b****

2:49 pm

o-o

Yes

2:49 pm

PAV3

My first grade teacher Miss Spotts (she never married) who retired after my grade...and my 11 th grade pre-calc teacher who was once a janitor in the very same HS until he decided to become a teacher..he taught us that instead of making everyone around us miserable because we hate our jobs, we should quit to follow our dreams

2:49 pm

flosey

hi Soodle

2:50 pm

flosey

what a great example he was Pav

2:51 pm

Soodle

Hi everybody. I was scarred for live by a sadistic, money-grabbing nun, by the name of Sister Euphrasia. The name strikes terror into my heart to this day!

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

Mrs. Regan made so much fun of me when I first tried to recite a poem that the kids teased me forever feeling they had her permission. It got so bad that I had to do my recitations during recess so the other kids couldn't harass me thanks to her-- left me with an undying dislike for poetry

2:51 pm

Atalante

am I invisible? *demands in a babbler sort of way* I've been writing stuff and no-one mentioned it. I must be booooring :D

2:51 pm

lynxxx

hi Soodle

2:51 pm

Aloyisius

hi Soodle.. so sorry you had that experience

2:51 pm

flosey

how humiliating jmc

2:51 pm

Soodle

Ata!!! How goes it?

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

no we were just all wrapped up in our own stories ata

2:52 pm

Atalante

argh don't mention nuns!

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

so how did you rate the extra classes with Mrs. Cummings?

2:53 pm

jmcnrick

btw I have a vial from St Helens from my husband

2:53 pm

FMitch

isn't it increadible how we remember those teachers so may years on!

2:53 pm

flosey

I remember being in school with a bad cold (back then we didn't stay home with such) and was blowing my nose and the teacher suggested I should get a steamshovel!

2:53 pm

Atalante

oh she was wonderful. she just knew I was brilliant (lol) and wanted to help me learn as I wanted to. So she took 2 hours a week out of her schedule to show me the joy of learning, and that was the greatest gift ever

2:54 pm

lynxxx

rofl Flosey. though I am sure it was humiliating at the time

2:54 pm

PAV3

Ata...you could not be more visible! did that come out wrong?...your lifelong teacher just struck a chord with my remembrance of my 11th grade tech..and not making everyone miserable at work...plus, I can't type and read the chat at hte same time,,,either my eyes are on the keyboard or on the screen...

2:54 pm

jmcnrick

that is really cool ata

2:54 pm

flosey

you were fortunate to have such a great teacher Ata

2:54 pm

jmcnrick

you need more keying practice pav

2:54 pm

FMitch

Sister Euphrasia oh dear soodle!

2:54 pm

Atalante

I was only joking, really! but I did want to make sure people read how wonderful she was :D

2:55 pm

jmcnrick

I knew I had learned to type when I was typing in a dream without looking at the keyboard

2:55 pm

Atalante

we had *thinks* Sister Adriana, Sister Jo, Sister Marie Helena, and Sister Bernadette

2:55 pm

Atalante

Sister Bernadette was the devil in disguise

2:55 pm

jmcnrick

bet she is called Sister Euthanasia

2:55 pm

jmcnrick

Happy to say I went to public school

2:56 pm

Soodle

We had loads of nuns, but Sr Euphrasia was the Big Boss! The one and only good thing about her was her name - as JMC says - loads of different variations of the name!!

2:57 pm

PAV3

as a typical male, I think and speak faster than I type, so sometimes I must slow myself down...and then there's the arthur and itis creeping in

2:57 pm

Atalante

Sr Marie Helena was this old old old nun who was in charge of the library. I swear I never saw her move for 3 years

2:57 pm

FMitch

lol PAV

2:57 pm

Soodle

Very strange breed of people - nuns!!

2:57 pm

jmcnrick

that is a lame male excuse pav! lol

2:58 pm

PAV3

well I'm not quite lame yet jmc...gittin thar...

2:58 pm

flosey

2:58 pm

Atalante

we had days of repentence when we went to the convent and had to eat unleavened bread and do hour long meditation sessions. we were 10. imagine a class of 10 year old trying to meditate!

2:59 pm

redturtlehead

2:59 pm

jmcnrick

Aloyisius

3:05 pm

FMitch

*grin*

3:05 pm

PAV3

all I have to drink is about a gal of Hawaiian Punch from the ex-bosses reception yesterday...I had to taste some sweetness from his departure...

3:05 pm

Aloyisius

did you have a special teacher, BR?

3:07 pm

o-o

Not really --- teachers thought I was a problem ... so, I had a lot of "supervision."

3:07 pm

Aloyisius

aww, just means you were special.. probably bored?

3:09 pm

Anniebrook

Aloyisius

Annie!!! hi there

3:10 pm

Anniebrook

Hi Aloy, How did you break a finger? Ouch!!

3:10 pm

o-o

In hindsight, I learned a lot, once I was able to sort it out.

3:11 pm

Anniebrook

Hi FM and BR!

3:11 pm

Aloyisius

takes a while, BR.. I'm still "sorting it out".. (-:

3:11 pm

FMitch

Hey Annie how are you and yours?

3:12 pm

Anniebrook

Just fine and you?

3:12 pm

FMitch

god to see you :)

3:12 pm

Aloyisius

What is so nice about Babble is the incredible assemblage of talented people

3:12 pm

o-o

Hello, Annie

3:12 pm

Anniebrook

3:12 pm

FMitch

(())

3:13 pm

Anniebrook

Aloy, stove means??? Were you baking your finger or broiling your finger?

3:13 pm

Aloyisius

I hope so, BR.. am convinced it is a necessary thing.. at least for me.. always

3:14 pm

JBsAnno

<Entering on cue from BR from stage left, bows to the incredible assemblage of talented people> Hi, everyone!

3:16 pm

JBsAnno

I'm loving that the grids are bigger on the weekends again

3:16 pm

JBsAnno

Hey, FMitch! I changed my schedule, not able to get on as much in the morning

3:17 pm

JBsAnno

Isn't is funny how much one little finger can cause so much pain?

3:17 pm

JBsAnno

Okay, someone say something so I don't look trollish, 'kai?

BR re yr post at 3.12 very true. Babble has never ceased to amaze me with the talents or sheer survival skills that babblers have.

3:19 pm

o-o

Including yours, FM. I did not know of your loss.

3:20 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, I didn't bow to you before, FM? <bows to yet another incredibly talented person> <grin>

3:21 pm

JBsAnno

I loved many of my teachers, they instilled a love of learning and curiosity about the world and the people in it for which I am constantly grateful.

3:21 pm

JBsAnno

FM? did you lose someone/something?

3:22 pm

Atalante

3:46 pm

Soodle

Looking back over the chog, I think a synchronised 'Babblers-Bow' should be organised. At a specific date and time, each and every one of us should take a bow, and even give an acceptance speech!!!

3:46 pm

Dorens

later j

3:47 pm

JBsAnno

Bye, jmcnrick! Take care, and I hope your 'puter coughs up whatever the problem is and starts seeing the list correctly.

3:49 pm

Anniebrook

The player that was hit was Marco Scutaro, shortstop. He was hit in the helmet, left the game in the 4th inning and the trainer said "no concussion". Thank God, it could have been terrible.

3:50 pm

JBsAnno

I am so glad that they wear helmets

3:50 pm

zoozzoom

looks like i was too late again :-(

3:50 pm

o-o

yes, and many careers have been affected

3:51 pm

o-o

hello, zoozzoom

3:51 pm

Soodle

Anno- your jumping the gun. The bow needs to be synchronised!! Across the globe, random babblers bowing, to the bewilderment of on-lookers. the more I think about it, the more I like it!

3:51 pm

JBsAnno

@zoozzoom - thanks, I'll remember that when it happens to me, I never could figure WHY it happens, just that it does sometimes

3:51 pm

zoozzoom

Hello Br, hope you are keeping well.

3:52 pm

o-o

Thanks, zoom .. you too

3:52 pm

zoozzoom

Anniebrook

3:58 pm

Dorens

just read email... old boyfriend who truly love and is one of my best friends, altho we don't see each other often (since he retired to Spain) has brain tumor. characteristically, he warned me NOT to reply to that email... he doesn't even like birthday greetings - since I can't react, you guys are getting my reaction

3:58 pm

big red

3:58 pm

Dorens

3:58 pm

Anniebrook

oh dorens, that is awful news, so sorry

zoozzoom

sorry to hear that Dorens.

4:05 pm

afflamed

nice set of pics zoom's...

4:06 pm

FMitch

Dorens - write an email back to him like it will be the last time you will see him - and don't hold back.

4:06 pm

o-o

ro 5 are red ... violets are blue ... I like peanut butter ... can you skate?

4:06 pm

zoozzoom

many thanks Afflamed :-)

4:07 pm

Dorens

but Fm, he is soooo against sentimentality. and his emails said do not respond to this in ANY FORM.

4:07 pm

afflamed

you cud even make it humurous by adding to each sentence what you arent saying " if i were to react, id tell you...."

4:07 pm

zoozzoom

my thoughts too FM, should not e-mail ..and not expect an e-mail back, after such bad news.

4:08 pm

nrkii

hi all

4:08 pm

zoozzoom

hello, Nrkki :-)

4:08 pm

zoozzoom

nrkii even :-0)

4:08 pm

nrkii

Dorens, I am so sorry for you.

4:09 pm

Dorens

what he really wants is a humorous email in response to other things and ignoring this white elephant. i can be sure to remind him i love him tho, and that is all i think. hi nrk thanks

4:09 pm

nrkii

But Dorens, I would suggest you honor his request and NOT respond. At least not for 2+ weeks, when you can send something funny.

4:10 pm

FMitch

Dorens if he is dying you just dowhat you want. whether you send the emails or print them off for the family to know is up to you.

4:10 pm

Dorens

just hope he makes sure to let me know next time he's back in ny... i miss him a lot. he's one of themost brilliant men i know, and certainly the funniest, and erudite, increedibly wellread and a good cook. but seriously crazy

4:10 pm

Soodle

OH Dorens. What a difficult position to be in. He sounds like a hell of a guy.

4:11 pm

Dorens

he says all lis well, but i don't believe that. he's on chemo and radiation, so maybe it isn't so dire... they wouldn't bother with treatment if they didn't think he had a chance. but he's had other health issues the last ten years... really high blood pressure, etc

4:12 pm

car.eeyore

Fireworks! (sorry it happened in the middle of this conversation though.)

4:13 pm

o-o

congrats, car

4:13 pm

Dorens

he served in vietnam, one of those unsung heroes who carried a dying buddy ten miles over his shoulder and is tortured with bad memories of that time, gets very morose (understandably). his mom committed suicide when he was a baby which i think had longlasting effects

4:13 pm

nrkii

he may believe he will recover, in which case getting a lot of sentimental responses that suggest "last chance to tell you how much you meant to me" might be exactly the opposite of what he needs right now... that's why I wouldn't respond

4:13 pm

nrkii

yay car!!!

4:13 pm

Soodle

Well Done Car!!

4:13 pm

Soodle

Well Done Car!!

4:13 pm

zoozzoom

WTG Car!!

4:14 pm

car.eeyore

Dorens, I am sorry for your friend and for you. Just be you and be there for him.

4:14 pm

Dorens

no he really doesn't like sentimentality like that... humor and knowing that i care is it i think

4:14 pm

Dorens

yay Careeyore!!

4:15 pm

car.eeyore

I hope you all have the best evening possible! Many of you will be in my thoughts & prayers!

4:15 pm

zoozzoom

well you know him best, you should do what you think is best Dorens :-)

4:15 pm

o-o

be well, car

4:15 pm

zoozzoom

take care Car

4:15 pm

car.eeyore

I will. *poof*

4:15 pm

Dorens

strange to say i have a best friend i can go years without seeing, and months without emailing, but we do have a great understanding of one another and i have always adored him - and so does my daughter. she will be devastated. bye car.

4:16 pm

Soodle

Car - while your praying - spare a thought (prayer) for my daughter to get the scholarship she so needs for college. thank you

4:16 pm

Dorens

sorry to dominate chat... just have this heavy feeling. from out of the blue, wasn't expecting this, and need to process... i'll be quiet now for a while. thaks all

4:17 pm

nrkii

no worries dorens

4:17 pm

zoozzoom

you can talk as much as you want Dorens.

4:17 pm

FMitch

Based on 'lasting effects' I would say - give him your support and write to him in letter form.

4:18 pm

Dorens

hmmm interesting thought fm, thanks

4:19 pm

Soodle

Sorry folks, didnt mean to hijack the prayers, but the knees are worn out on me praying at the moment. All additional prayers would be very welcome. Needless to say, I only pray when I am looking for something. Athiests in fox-holes ect!! LOL

4:19 pm

FMitch

and now am logging off for the night.
Happy bablbing all.

4:19 pm

nrkii

4:19 pm

o-o

be well, FM

4:19 pm

zoozzoom

Bye, FM

4:19 pm

Soodle

Good nite FM

4:19 pm

Dorens

night fm. sood, i don't pray, but i wish well for people all the same. same thing, to my mind

4:20 pm

Soodle

Absolutely Dorens. All good wishes/prayers/karma welcome

4:25 pm

o-o

To have a friend is a blessing. He has put conditions on the friendship which you feel bound to honor. Good friends do that. To truly care about someone if not sentimentality: â–¸ noun: extravagant or affected feeling or emotion
â–¸ noun: falsely emotional in a maudlin way

4:26 pm

o-o

It is very clear your emotions are not manufactured.

4:27 pm

Soodle

BabbleRabble. You intrigue me. Do you have a big dictionary of 'Appropriate Quotations' at your elbow as you babble?

4:27 pm

Soodle

BabbleRabble. You intrigue me. Do you have a big dictionary of 'Appropriate Quotations' at your elbow as you babble?

4:27 pm

o-o

no, just my thoughts

4:27 pm

Dorens

thank you babrab, your words always mean a lot. i was kinda sorta waiting to hear them.

4:29 pm

Dorens

no, he is one of the best and strongest people i know. it is always so sad to see his weakness. and weakness can be a strength, but when it leads to sorrow it is sad

4:30 pm

o-o

Ultimately, you know he cares too.

4:31 pm

Dorens

oh i do, fortunately, I do. he even signed this email Love (I mean it) Rudy --- pretty outrageous for him.

4:32 pm

o-o

Wow, I am happy for you.

4:33 pm

Dorens

don't get me wrong.. we haven't been romantically involved since 1998... last i heard he had a wonderful girlfriend from finland, but he hasn't mentioned her in a while and when i asked recently was she still in the picture, he characteristically didn't respond. which means absolutely nothing. i do hope she's there

4:36 pm

Dorens

oh my goodness. i just found his name in the grid. too weird

4:41 pm

Dorens

i need a break.. be back later. thanks for the support

4:42 pm

5:49 pm

Soodle

5:49 pm

that explains why they're such cranky creatures who bring the claws out first chance they get

5:49 pm

Shivs Fitz

That photo is funny, gortmold! What a translation!

5:50 pm

jacq

it's not been too bad, am past half way

5:50 pm

Shivs Fitz

Cats have two what, jaianniah?

5:50 pm

jaianniah

That's part of the reason they are so obnoxious when they go into heat....

5:50 pm

gortmold

isn't it, shi? have you come across any chinglish, engrish or spanglish that you can share?

5:50 pm

jaianniah

Two Ut5 and I did not fall for the trap....

5:51 pm

Shivs Fitz

No they don't jaiannah. It's like a dog's...one organ, that splits into two long horns.

5:51 pm

Soodle

CATS HAVE TWO??????

5:51 pm

Shivs Fitz

Wasn't setting any traps...wasnted to be sure what you meant, but that's misinformation. Don't know where you heard that one?

5:51 pm

jaianniah

Yep! It's called "bifurcation", I believe

5:52 pm

wildcat17

well I finished

5:52 pm

gortmold

5:53 pm

wildcat17

ty gort try to + and****

5:53 pm

Shivs Fitz

No it isn't. It's one organ, but it's not shaped like ours because it's designed to carry a litter...it divides into two long horns, one on each side but is still one organ, not two.

5:53 pm

Shivs Fitz

You have some misinformation there. Ask any vet!

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

shivs is correct.

5:53 pm

wildcat17

ty

5:54 pm

jaianniah

I did not mean it was two separate organs....but I can see how you would take it that way...That's what "bifurcation" means

5:54 pm

Shivs Fitz

I know I am, red.

5:54 pm

Shivs Fitz

You did say that, jaiannah.

5:54 pm

jaianniah

Yes, I did, and I was wrong. Mea culpa!

Oh well. ;o) Hardly matters!

9:13 pm

Minveryork

Oh, I thought it was Dr. God. That is what I was told when I first enquired about it,that Expert gets sent to pro babblers.I had it,but do no have it anymore. I never used it when I did have it.I don't mind jumping from screen to screen. Often have several different screens open at a time anyway.I like to mutlitask on the computer. Too bad I am not good at multitasking in real life.

9:14 pm

Re Expert. Lickety prefers to send it to people who support DrGod's efforts in supplying this game. We are so lucky to have them both.

9:45 pm

jillibus

Going pro supports DrGod and costs so little.

9:48 pm

jillibus

I guess I don't have to preach to the present choir.

9:48 pm

J. C.

Agreed, Jilli - and a $14.99 one-time cost is so cheap!

Hmmm, yes - then you surely picked up a bit of it?

10:00 pm

Sehr gut, Jilli! ;)

10:00 pm

J. C.

I have some German on both sides of the family. I'm as much of a mongrel as my dogs are! ;)

10:00 pm

jillibus

JC, I've heard German all my life -- my mother was fluent but never taught me that language. She and her sisters used to keep secrets from me and my cousins by speaking German, the meanies ;)

10:01 pm

J. C.

That's terrible, Jilli - you should've taken a course and learnt it, without telling them! ;)

10:01 pm

jillibus

Didn 't I tell you the tale of my Australian grandparents?

10:01 pm

J. C.

Yes, you did . . .

10:05 pm

jillibus

carry on, JC

10:05 pm

J. C.

With what, Jilli?

10:06 pm

jillibus
