lorip , all clean again, have spent all my spare time cleaning and hosing, just my car and the pool left

3:21 am

Haz1558

Did it not have health implications for people with chest conditions?

3:21 am

LoriP

Poor Andree. :(

3:21 am

FMitch

Andree love the puppy pic, hope you will all be very happy together (())

3:21 am

Andree

thx fmitch

3:22 am

LoriP

The Puppy of Evil is indeed very cute. I know you'll be a great team Andree. :D

3:22 am

Andree

100's taken to hospital, my grandson is an asthmatic but he was kept inside and was okay

3:23 am

Andree

lol should have called him evil, a good name

3:23 am

Haz1558

I'm not surprised, Andree, about the people taken to hospital, glad your grandson is okay.

3:23 am

LoriP

I know evil when i see it, and clearly that puppy is evil personified.

3:23 am

Andree

lol lorip

3:24 am

Haz1558

Evil can be anagrammed into vile. It makes you think, doesn't it?

3:24 am

FMitch

As we all know dust gets everywhere but that must really have been the behemoth of dust !

3:24 am

Andree

hard to believe such a little innocent could cause such a fuss

3:25 am

FMitch

Even Lori couldn't have ignored the housework if she lived in Ox :)

3:25 am

LoriP

Personally, I'm launching a new Organization. People Rescue. I shall save narcissists from themselves. Give them a good home, try to have them touch reality once in awhile.

3:25 am

Andree

what we really need now is some really heavy rain, all we are getting is blue skies

3:25 am

FMitch

*Oz even

3:26 am

LoriP

FM, you greatly underestimate my ability to ignore housework.....

3:26 am

FMitch

Sods Law Andree

3:26 am

Haz1558

Is there a Canadian version of How clean is your house?

3:27 am

FMitch

LOL Haz

3:27 am

LoriP

Move along Haz..... :p

3:27 am

Haz1558

Because if Kim and Aggie need somewhere to work their magic.... But you see where I'm going with this.

3:27 am

LoriP

Andree, any rain in your forecast, or are you just wishing?

3:28 am

Andree

just wishing lori

3:28 am

LoriP

Haz, I'm breakin' out in cold sweats. For the love of god, let this go.....

3:28 am

Haz1558

At the end of the day, Kim and Aggie give 110% in every house they visit.

3:29 am

FMitch

Sorry to chat and run but must get on the phone, back in a while.

3:29 am

LoriP

I do love those 2, it's a great show.

3:29 am

Andree

bye mitch

3:29 am

Haz1558

Bye FM. I'll be going to RDA soon.

3:29 am

LoriP

Hurry abck FM!

3:29 am

Andree

we don't have it here

3:29 am

Andree

thank goodness

3:29 am

LoriP

This grid is not revealing its words to me very easily. Gah

3:30 am

Haz1558

It's horrifying and fascinating all at the same time, Andree.

3:31 am

LoriP

Why anyone would agree to be on that show, is beyond me. Some of them horrify even mygoodself.

3:32 am

Haz1558

I know. It's literally washing your dirty linen in public.

3:33 am

Andree

did anyone see the news about John travolta being blackmailed for 30 million

3:33 am

ursh

i need the middle column 'i' for nbt - any clues please

3:33 am

Haz1558

Mind you, you have to be amazed at what people are prepared to do and say on TV. Those family debate shows where people yell at each other - mind-boggling.

3:33 am

LoriP

There's a show in the US called "Clean Sweep". People have hoards of stuff in rooms, some of it new and unopened, and the team comes and organizes them.

3:34 am

LoriP

I'd be embarassed to be on that show was well. To have that much stuff? Going to wast, not being used. Sometimes the excess is amazing.

3:34 am

Haz1558

in4/4 - babblet

3:34 am

LoriP

Yes Andree, isn't that despicable?

3:34 am

ursh

ty haz will look

3:35 am

Andree

we have one here called lush house, shannon lush who has written 3 books on [close your ears lorp] cleaning goes into your home to clean and sort

3:35 am

Haz1558

Is it the hairy nosed dolphin?

3:35 am

Andree

its really terrible

3:35 am

Andree

it is haz

3:35 am

LoriP

Similar concept then Andree.

3:36 am

Haz1558

It sounds like what we have here, Andree. I'm convinced a lot of the people have borderline mental issues.

3:36 am

Andree

when i said terrible i meant about the blackmail not the show

3:36 am

Andree

get an expert in sure, but put it on t v!!!!

3:36 am

Haz1558

The blackmail is something plucked straight from a TV show, it seems so unlikely.

3:37 am

LoriP

One episode had a home office ***cough*** but it was full, and I do mean full, of children's toys, games and computers. They had 1 kid. Ridiculous

3:37 am

Haz1558

RIght, must head off otherwise I'll be late for RDA. Nice to see you, back later! Bye!

3:38 am

LoriP

Eek, dasn't be late Haz. Have a great time! Laters.

3:38 am

Andree

have to make dinner, back soon

3:38 am

Sally-catlover

Hi all. What was John Travolta being blackmailed about? And bye Haz.

3:38 am

LoriP

Laters Andree.

3:39 am

Andree

hi sally lorip will tell you, i have to make dinner

3:39 am

Sally-catlover

Before you go Andree - I think you should call your puppy Julian :-)))

3:39 am

LoriP

When his son died, an emergency worker threatened to release private information unless Travolta paid him millions.

3:40 am

LoriP

Can't get much lower than that now, can ya'?

3:40 am

LoriP

Oh, and g'd morning Sally.

3:40 am

Sally-catlover

ty Lori. Strange people about. Did the blackmailer get his come-uppance?

3:41 am

LoriP

It's being litigated now. trial just started recently.

3:41 am

LoriP

The price of fame I guess, intruding on ones grief with something so sleazy.

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

yes, glad John T took it to court. Will google it later

3:47 am

Frances

Innit should so be a word. It seems that every teenager adds it to the end of every sentence they utter.

3:48 am

LoriP

lol, G'd morning Frances

3:49 am

Frances

Hello Lori.

3:50 am

Frances

And innies. Belly buttons are either innies or outies.

4:45 am

FMitch

Hi babblers back again, not sure how long for though the darned phone is bound to ring :(

4:46 am

Andree

hi mitch and christine

4:47 am

FMitch

:)

4:48 am

Christine

hi-hi

4:48 am

FMitch

So what's the verdict on today's grid?

4:49 am

Andree

its good but i needed lickety earlier than usual, good once you know what you are looking for

4:50 am

FMitch

Ahh an intersting one then, I shall look forward to diving in a bit later.

4:50 am

Christine

time to get a cuppa,

4:51 am

FMitch

... and there goes the phone right on cue :(

4:51 am

Andree

just found the 9

4:51 am

Christine

My neighbor's cat visits most nights, and keeps drinking my tea ... gotta get some fresh (for me).

4:53 am

Andree

that is so funny chris

4:55 am

Christine

She claims he likes to go out at nigh ... then he comes to my window, and cries to be let in. I send him back in the morning.

4:56 am

Andree

maybe we should call you christine catlover

4:57 am

Sally-catlover

Back. I claim my right to that name Andree!

4:58 am

Andree

i do know that sally

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

Has anyone found the 10 yet? Is it a real word or a babble word?

5:00 am

Jacula

rh10, Sally. Think Glen Campbell and Wild West.

5:00 am

Andree

i just found the 9 but no 10 yet

5:01 am

Christine

Andree (and Sally), the name would fit. We're not allowed pets in this apartment complex, but she went ahead anyway. But I think how much harder it would be to get a pet, them have to let it go - perhaps to be destroyed. Even if it went to a good home, would it understand why it was given away?

5:02 am

Sally-catlover

aah, ty jac. Thought of that before but couldn't make it fit - was going the wrong way.

5:02 am

Jacula

y/w

5:03 am

Andree

thx jac

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

Some pets don't seem to mind too much as long as they are looked after Christine, but our cats freak out if we are away and someone else looks after them. They were ex-feral cats with a great fear of strangers.

5:04 am

Sally-catlover

I think dogs would suffer more, because they get more attached to their owners.

5:05 am

Andree

all the cats i have ever had have been rescues, but only 1 feral, she was very difficult to keep inside

5:06 am

Jacula

Speaking of cats, I'd better go and feed mine. BBS.

5:06 am

Andree

bye jac

5:06 am

Sally-catlover

Ours are fine inside as long as there's a door open and they can get to the cat flap. They are happier outside though.

5:06 am

Christine

This one comes in, and jumps up on the bed, while I read. He follows when I go for more tea, and I give him a little in a saucer ... his "Mum" says he's not affectionate, also that he never sitSs by her. DD says he thinls I'm his Mum, and he just visits the neighbor for his meals.

5:07 am

Sally-catlover

Bye for now Jac.

5:08 am

Sally-catlover

So how did your neighbour get away with having a cat if they are not allowd?

5:08 am

Andree

with nurture over nature he probably thinks you are his mum

5:10 am

Christine

The owner lives offsite, and the manager is pretty easy-going, but last year we received a letter reminding us of the ban -- no cats, dogs, rabbits, or birds. Fish are okay. We had a cat and a dog when we moved in (1973!!) but that was under another ownership.

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

I really am mum to mine. They were so tiny when I found them that I had to feed them on a dropper, then they would sleep on my <cough!> ample bosom. A good excuse not to do any housework for some weeks.

5:11 am

FMitch

awe how lovely and yay for rubeanesque women ;)

5:12 am

Sally-catlover

Tomorrow I have a day full of tests -- bone density, heart sress, something called MRB or MBI, I forget which. They said to inform the technician if I have breast implants ... don't know where I'd put them, since the space is amply filled.

5:15 am

FMitch

I doubt it sally but is it a good word!

5:15 am

herinfernallady

Crossy isn't own

5:15 am

herinfernallady

Crossy isn't own

Sally-catlover

Great word! Must go and practise it.

5:16 am

LOL Chrinstine and may all be well with the tests.

Sally-catlover

I think the meaning must be delicious titties.

5:16 am

Good luck with the tests Christine.

*sorry* even

6:13 am

Wolvie

hi peri

6:13 am

dcseain

Septal Myectomy. They're removing part of his heart that s too big and causing it to malfunction. The surgery should start around 8. Good morning, Peri :)

6:14 am

Wolvie

whoa. Best to him and you.

6:15 am

Hi Peri

6:15 am

Atalante

how long does the op take?

6:19 am

dcseain

4 hours, a bit longer if they also replace a valve or two

6:19 am

dcseain

it should wrap up around Noon GMT-4

6:19 am

Wolvie

wow. one thing - those surgeries have sure gotten better and faster. A good thing. :-)

6:20 am

Atalante

not tooo long for you to have to worry then. that's good!

6:20 am

dcseain

so true wolvie. This surgeon only does myectomies and transplants. This facility has done more than 120 so far this year. i have good confidence for a positive outcome :) Indeed, ata

6:20 am

Wolvie

great news dc. a bit of comfort

6:22 am

dcseain

very much so, not least for Tom, Wolvie. It's part of why he chose Cleveland Clinic

6:22 am

Wolvie

I have heard very good things about Cleveland Clinic

6:23 am

dcseain

it should take finito

6:23 am

Wolvie

I tried that too. ;-)

6:24 am

dcseain

all these good endings, and so far few words to put before them.

6:24 am

Atalante

how far is the hospital away from you? can you pop over there easily?

6:24 am

Wolvie

indeed

6:25 am

dcseain

i'm sitting in it. We live 6.5-7h away by car. I'm staying with my uncle and aunt in a suburb, about 30 min away. We'll - his whole family's here too- will stay until he's out of surgery at least.

6:25 am

Wolvie

I thought maybe babble was a stress reliever - or redirector of stress today. :-)

6:25 am

Atalante

and they have wifi? wow. thats impressive!

6:26 am

dcseain

indeed so, wolvie. and yes, and it's free, too, ata :)

6:26 am

Atalante

that's just *great*

6:26 am

Wolvie

6:26 am

Atalante

hospitals are sooooo impossible without diustraction

6:27 am

dcseain

especially since i left my book at the house today. But the important stuff got here, including the Nintendo DS

6:28 am

Atalante

6:33 am

Wolvie

ata - is this about the gold? I can get the title, but it won't load up

6:33 am

I reckon metal detector sales will skyrocket in England (as that is how it was all found)

Haz1558

There's talk of gold? Have there ever been so many adverts on TV asking people to cash in their gold? Is it the same everywhere or is it just a UK thing?

6:46 am

I think she's more streamlined now, she ran round like a mad thing chasing flocks of pheasants earlier

I hate those stupid adverts

6:47 am

Wolvie

rofl - couldn't resist

6:47 am

Atalante

I think they do. streamlining and all that. adds about 1.5% to speed

6:48 am

Haz1558

It's nice to see EVERYONE.

6:48 am

Sally-catlover

Maybe they run faster so you cana't catch them to trim them again.

6:48 am

lynxxx

Their tails and bums would wag faster at least

6:48 am

periwinkle

have se8, help with other 8's pls

6:51 am

Haz1558

Hello peri. That's interesting, I wondered if it was widespread. Is it just because gold is so high in price?

6:51 am

Sally-catlover

rh8, trouble in de nose.

6:51 am

lynxxx

rh8 sounds like a diseased beast

6:51 am

Sally-catlover

6:53 am

Haz1558

I don't mind the theory of it, it's the fact that you can't turn on the TV without someone begging for your gold.

6:53 am

periwinkle

thanks again lyn

6:53 am

periwinkle

I would never send any gold thru the mail. but there are local jewelers also asking for gold

6:54 am

Wolvie

fa 8 - most light headed

6:54 am

we've always had those ads here, it's not the economy

6:54 am

Haz1558

Yes, I've seen signs in jewellers' windows here as well.

6:54 am

I bet a gold company will appear on watchdog before long

6:54 am

Wolvie

fa 8 #2 - most light headed - fa 5 plus ending

6:56 am

periwinkle

don't get your clue, Wolvie

6:56 am

Atalante

and i'm sure they'd give much less than market value

6:56 am

Wolvie

there could be more, I am missing 3 8's

6:56 am

Haz1558

I don't usually like country music but I was listening to John Denver in the car - thinking that it was all quite cheerful. That is until he launched into a chorus of 'Daddy please don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't want to see my Momma cry.'

Wolvie

do we have to have a login name?

7:12 am

dcseain

so far so good, scrabbler, thank you.

7:12 am

Scrabbler

Seain, it's much tougher to wait during an operation than to be sedated as the patient. However being a post-op patient is not easy--been there done that many times

7:12 am

redturtlehead

good morning.

7:27 am

redturtlehead

no, we were searching for alligators. but none present, was too cold for them. Have to go in the afternoon...

7:28 am

Atalante

methinks Teulu was getting rather close to snappable-at range

7:29 am

redturtlehead

yes, if there had been any present, even as Logs I would not have let him stick his neck out, but we were several feet above the water on a pier.

7:29 am

Atalante

I bet! but what fun to go looking for alligators!

7:30 am

redturtlehead

I need to go in the afternoon, they are definitely there, but only in the heat.

7:30 am

Atalante

they are incredible creatures

7:31 am

redturtlehead

a bit scary but I think maybe I need to go to Gator land to see them alll....

7:31 am

Scrabbler

Big, prehistoric looking creatures

7:31 am

redturtlehead

Ata, is that photo Hobbits new cut? Short!

7:31 am

Atalante

very scary. they are one of only a few creature that just looks like a killing machine. a very cold killing machine

7:32 am

Atalante

yep! very short! her last chop before winter

7:33 am

redturtlehead

Well, they tend to not be too aggressive, they live in almost every body of water here. A couple of frineds of mine went out for a lake swim the other day and almost ran into a very very big one, they turned around and swam away and eh never batted an eye.

7:34 am

Haz1558

Taking a break for lunch, back later.

7:34 am

Yikes, Red!

dcseain

njoy, haz

7:35 am

redturtlehead

Not regularly Lynxx. THey dont seek people out as prey.

7:35 am

redturtlehead

On one path where we run we see them each day looking like logs.

7:35 am

Atalante

salt water crocs are the shitty ones

7:36 am

redturtlehead

People are not the preferred prey so, unless it is breeding season when they are quite aggressive, they tend to leave people alone. But they do on occasion try to eat little dogs.

7:36 am

lynxxx

Happy to say I have missed seeing them. Cairns has lovelly beaches - no-one goes in because of crocs

7:37 am

redturtlehead

SO Teulu never gets to go lake swimming here, even though he is large.

7:39 am

Atalante

I wish Hobbit would go swimming

7:40 am

lynxxx

No-one told her it's a spaniel thing?

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

Hobbit doesn't swim??

7:40 am

Atalante

nope!

7:41 am

redturtlehead

I took teulu swimming once in NH and he would nto get out for about an hour, It was annoying, to sit there and watch him swim in circles!

7:41 am

Uneaixoise

wow, never heard of a non-swimming spaniel!

7:41 am

Atalante

she refuses lol. she loves water now (but only actually started walking into the water 2 years ago), but won't lift her tippy toes off the bottom

7:41 am

Scrabbler

At 98/138 I must get ready--rounds at the children's hospital then to the office from 11-6.

7:41 am

redturtlehead

enjoy your last days Scrabbs!

7:41 am

Uneaixoise

when I was little we had a springer that we'd take to the lake -- when it was time to leave it took FOREVER to get him out of the water! LOL

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy the day everyone. Seain, I will be thinking of Tom & you all day. Are you with anyone else?

7:42 am

7:43 am

redturtlehead

7:43 am

dcseain

the major part of the surgery started a few moments ago, so he's open in OR and they're working on his heart now.

7:44 am

redturtlehead

Lots of good thought DC, i am hoping all goes perfectly.

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

so glad you have family there for support . . . and of course you have tons of Babble family there "virtually"!

Atalante

Wolvie

well, I have been on facebook and the status for the last half hour - not doing babble at all - I think I will take a break from babble for a bit. bbl

7:46 am

dcseain

some dogs love the water, others don't, sometimes with no seeming rhyme nor reason. Watching other dogs has not encouraged her?

Atalante

no! and until she was about 5, she refused to go in water at all. just Refused. not even a paw. then over a few weeks, she decided that water was Great Fun, and now spends a lot of time in it, as much as possible. So I'm hoping that one day , she'll decide she can swim

7:49 am

lynxxx

I am fading so best get going too. Bye DC, I hope by the time I wake up Tom will have too. (PS did anyone tell you you are a saint)

7:56 am

dcseain

his mom's a bit of a wreck, but one of her brothers is here keeping her occupied.

7:58 am

Atalante

good for him! that takes dedication in itself

7:59 am

Ok so I know I am living in tropical america, but, all these adds for wool winter coats are just making me sweat and itch, we have an expected high of 91 today.

8:46 am

redturtlehead

THe odd thing is if I go to Kohls, I think they will be selling sweaters here. Walmart has all summer wear on sale, even though its what we wear all year round.

8:47 am

LuvWordGames

it's even frustrting living in states with 4 seasons, because when you really NEED a winter coat, you can't buy one to save your life!

8:47 am

redturtlehead

Odd.

8:48 am

LuvWordGames

yeah, in the dead of winter they start selling their summer stuff and if you lose your gloves your out of luck

8:49 am

redturtlehead

yes that is true. I am always glad for swim suit sales even though I swim outside year round.

12:38 pm

Wolvie

when the dolphin showed up the other day, we were all going around about it, and annie piped up with the hairy babbler comment as the clue - it was sooo funny

12:38 pm

stidmama

had to email the faculty member in charge of that. *sigh* food allergies suck.

12:38 pm

Soodle

Good evening all. And a happy Arthurs day. (its 250 years since Arthur Guinness signed the lease on the famous brewery in Dublin. Mad celebrations here!! - As if the Irish ever needed an excuse!)

12:55 pm

12:58 pm

i work in a place that is rampant with nepotism.

12:59 pm

kje

o....kay

12:59 pm

o-o

good day, sciencegeek

12:59 pm

sciencegeek

hey br

1:01 pm

o-o

nepotism in education -- school board must be aware

1:01 pm

sciencegeek

no, this is a private school.

1:06 pm

o-o

well, that is simply no 7/32

1:06 pm

sciencegeek

dont know that one br!

1:07 pm

stidmama

okay, I think the new icon will be less startling.

1:07 pm

stidmama

BR, it's a tribute to you, in a way. I decided to make some "inspirational" bookmarks for my classmates...

1:08 pm

stidmama

and hello science... assuming you are not one of the nepotists!

1:08 pm

sciencegeek

i hate it when i am angry. i also hate to deal with passive aggressive people.

1:09 pm

stidmama

(((gentle hugs for science)))

1:10 pm

sciencegeek

i negotiated to have fridays off this year - we do not teach on friday - we are here merely for tutorials. i never had any students on fridays. now, THEY are saying Iwill have to work on fridays next year. there is another teacher here who never works on fridays. this all occurs because i am selling jewelry at the Tex Renaissance Festival.

1:10 pm

stidmama

will they pay you extra to work fridays?

1:10 pm

stidmama

do you have an alternative (do you have to teach there)?

1:12 pm

stidmama

"enomis" is in the grid today! LOL

1:14 pm

o-o

A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. ~Author Unknown

1:15 pm

stidmama

but good teachers also take care of themselves, knowing how to set boundaries so they stay healthy enough to teach.

1:16 pm

stidmama

sounds like this school does not respect teachers. *sad mama face*

1:17 pm

stidmama

"enax" ought to count. like how congress enax laws.

1:17 pm

o-o

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. ~Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann"

1:18 pm

stidmama

I like that quote muchly!

Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing. ~John F. Kennedy

1:19 pm

redturtlehead

Ok I have attempted to change my icon...

1:19 pm

stidmama

and that quote I hardly like, but know the truth of.

1:19 pm

stidmama

hello red. what are you trying to be today?

1:19 pm

o-o

Hello, H

1:19 pm

redturtlehead

Money.

1:20 pm

stidmama

BR were you a teacher? before you retired?

1:20 pm

redturtlehead

oever, oddly it seems to have resized my dog instead.

1:20 pm

o-o

you have your eyes on your money

1:20 pm

stidmama

I would like to be money some days... then I could afford to fix all the things that need fixing around my house and yard

1:20 pm

stidmama

no, the profile pic is right. refresh babble.

1:20 pm

redturtlehead

Oh so the geico money is showing.

1:23 pm

o-o

I was a lawyer ... who soon came to appreciate the influence of caring teachers

1:23 pm

stidmama

I need help on the E tiles please. so far I can't find ANY words starting with E. *Sigh*

1:23 pm

stidmama

oh -- that explains how you know so much. lawyers in my acquaintance are pretty smart

1:24 pm

Back - they pay very little here so teaching fridays is not a profit center for me.

1:24 pm

stidmama

of course, as a wannabe teacher, I like to think teachers are pretty smart too! LOL

1:24 pm

stidmama

thanks BR

1:25 pm

Hi

1:25 pm

sciencegeek

i hate stupid people

1:25 pm

stidmama

hence the money-making jewelry? hope it at least pays for itself... *considering own creative expenses*

1:25 pm

sciencegeek

oops i am feeling the anger

1:26 pm

stidmama

need 4 more words to be at halfway...

1:26 pm

sciencegeek

i hope it is profitable. it is the largest Ren Fest in the US.

1:26 pm

stidmama

and then I need to get back to my work. at least this is fun, not reading endless repetitive books.

1:26 pm

o-o

there are a lot of smart people .. a lot fewer who can help a child maintain her/his imagination and curiosity throughout maturation

1:26 pm

stidmama

WOW science, that would be such a kick to attend!

1:27 pm

lawyer-1

eosine

1:27 pm

yes lawyer, now to the Penatly box with you.

1:27 pm

I'll get this right yet

1:28 pm

there are cookies and chocolate in there I think.

1:28 pm

stidmama

<--- try the add word box, lawyer. :-) you'll get it.

1:28 pm

stidmama

choclits?

1:28 pm

redturtlehead

you left them yesterday stid.

1:28 pm

sciencegeek

I have ordered a costume!

1:29 pm

Atalante

lawyer? as in lawyer for YEARS ago??

1:29 pm

stidmama

*tummy grumble* oh dear...

1:29 pm

o-o

I think I would very much like to be a student of yours, stid ... even at my advanced age

1:29 pm

stidmama

awesome, science!

1:29 pm

sciencegeek

I don't like passive aggressive people.

1:29 pm

lawyer-1

yes...many years ago

1:29 pm

Atalante

I remember you!

1:29 pm

stidmama

LOL atalante, and -- *i* left them? my brain must be missing a few screws

1:29 pm

sciencegeek

I am watching students spill water all over my room - no fine motor skills. they are in high school. help

1:30 pm

Atalante

people, people, all bow to lawyer. he was a legend way back when!

1:30 pm

lawyer-1

a fading legend...at best

1:30 pm

o-o

pleased to meet you, lawyer-1

1:30 pm

stidmama

oh BR -- I don't know. I poked an 8th grader in the shoulder with my cane yesterday because he was goofing off in science class... LOL have known him since he was 8 years old, though, so not something I do regularly!

1:31 pm

redturtlehead

well, we are all legends in our own minds....

1:31 pm

stidmama

AND I make them try. They don't like to try things when success is not certain.

1:31 pm

Atalante

brilliant, none the less! :P

1:31 pm

lawyer-1

The pleasure is mine

1:31 pm

Atalante

anyway, welcome back!

1:31 pm

stidmama

*curtseying to lawyer and BR*

1:32 pm

o-o

but to go beyond your comfort zone is the thing of life

1:32 pm

sciencegeek

in my past life i worked 70 hours a week for litigators.

1:32 pm

stidmama

ugh. does NOT sound fun, science!

1:32 pm

redturtlehead

its true though, people are most hesitant to try things because they have a fear of looking stupid. My life got a lot better when I stopped worrying about that.

1:33 pm

stidmama

there. halfway. *proud mama look* and in about an hour. thanks for your help BR

1:33 pm

stidmama

I am getting more comfortable being outside my comfort zone. Spent the whole last year pushing my limits.

1:33 pm

o-o

I am smiling -- great to be in the company of those who care

1:34 pm

stidmama

*blush* oh BR! what a compliment!

1:34 pm

stidmama

red -- speaking of people who care... are you doing any better? are your legs painfree?

1:35 pm

redturtlehead

I am over the flu, thanks. now I am getting back to the running, so its sort of painful, but I was sick for a long time, so I am now just happy to breathing well and able to work on the running.

1:36 pm

o-o

glad you are better, redT

1:37 pm

redturtlehead

thanks Bab Rab, me too. being sick for that long actually had me feeling a little dpressed which I dont think is my norm...

1:37 pm

o-o

Last night, my Mommy told me I could not train my walking poles today because she thought I was overdoing it

1:38 pm

redturtlehead

Stid, if you get rid of the cane, what will you use to poke students with???

1:38 pm

redturtlehead

Your Mom BR?

1:38 pm

o-o

yep

1:39 pm

redturtlehead

Are the walking poles any fun? are just difficult.

1:40 pm

o-o

I really like them ... besides making my arms, shoulders and back do some work, they provide stability and increase distance

1:40 pm

periwinkle

hello all

BR, what kind of walking poles did you buy

1:41 pm

redturtlehead

nice BR. Will you be coming to Melbourne for my Marathon then?

1:42 pm

o-o

I am okay, sciencegeek ... was quite dysfunctional for a long time ... have some balance issues which the poles help with

1:42 pm

o-o

as in Melbourne, Australia?

1:43 pm

redturtlehead

nah, Melbourne Florida.

1:43 pm

redturtlehead

I hate to fly so I will probably never go to Austrailia. those trips to Africa were really tortoruous...

1:44 pm

sciencegeek

Is it Meniere's (spelling?) disease, BR?

1:44 pm

sciencegeek

I think I should get a job working at the mall!

1:45 pm

1:49 pm

o-o

1:50 pm

Atalante

walking poles are brilliant

1:54 pm

stidmama

hey peri, sorry all the computer is totally lagging right now. BR, hope you can train your poles again soon. They look like such a good idea! and red, glad you're better -- don't overdo the training when you get back into it!

1:55 pm

stidmama

and now I am going to reboot this recalcitrant computer and try to get some work done. ((((hugs and choclit for all)))) be well. *poof*

4:13 pm

Kazzer99

i have 77 left

4:14 pm

Uneaixoise

so sorry to hear that, kazzer!

4:15 pm

zoozzoom

Not good news Kazzer, i have heard that draught guinness is good for stomach ulcers, not sure if it is true or not though.

4:16 pm

Kazzer99

they will clear up evenutally they usually - these are on the outside on my arm and side - its quite embarassing as they can get quite whiffy

4:19 pm

Kazzer99

down to 69 - onto the ms

4:22 pm

o-o

the definition for the no 7/32 is interesting in the context

4:23 pm

Soodle

Hello everybody.

4:23 pm

o-o

hello, Soodlebum

4:24 pm

Kazzer99

hi soodle

4:25 pm

Soodle

Just a guest appearance tonight folks. Between work and bed, I thought I would wish everybody a Happy Arthurs Day (in honour of Arthur Guinness...bless his little cotton socks)

4:25 pm

Kazzer99

that s a good idea - Happy Arthur Day to you to

4:27 pm

Soodle

Didnt actually participate in the celebrations myself (the country has gone bananas), but I thought it was my duty to wish my fellow babblers a happy day!!

4:28 pm

zoozzoom

Hello Soodle & BR :-)

4:28 pm

zoozzoom

Happy Arthurs day to you too Soodle.

4:28 pm

Soodle

Hiya Zoo!

4:29 pm

Soodle

And Hiya Babble - Like the profile. (as usual)

4:29 pm

zoozzoom

there is an advert for Guinness on the tv here at the mo...they raise their glass and say to Arthur

4:30 pm

zoozzoom

they as in a large group of people standing outside a pub

4:31 pm

Soodle

Yeah -- the advert is called Chinese Whispers. It goes from To Arthur -to To Martha - to To Parsnips - to God alone knows what. Guinness spend a fortune on advertising, but , clearly it pays off!

4:32 pm

zoozzoom

thats the one, i must admit, i do love drught guinness :-)

4:32 pm

Kazzer99

i will update my profile when i have stopped feeling sorry for myself which i shouldnt be considering i have all the vital bits and a good job and a lovely kind husband but i hurt and am feeling a bit down

4:32 pm

Soodle

Anyway - its a light relief from the Lisbon Treaty debate which is raging in this country at the moment!!

4:33 pm

zoozzoom

i can understand Kazzer, i do hope you get well soon though.

4:33 pm

Soodle

Aw Kaz.... I came in late... Are you ok?

4:33 pm

zoozzoom

i can listen to it for a while soodle ..but after about an hour or so i keep the tv on but mute the sound..lol

4:33 pm

Kazzer99

how is the vote looking to go Soodle - at least you got a chancevto make a choice! - Ive got ulcers and other rotten bts

4:34 pm

Soodle

I am sorry to hear that kazz. If you have all that going on, you dont really need to know about the crap going on here!! I wish you well, and keep the chin up! XX

4:35 pm

Kazzer99

oh i dont know i like politics where you have some choice - our c++p government thinks it knows best and keeps selling us up the river

4:37 pm

Soodle

Heck, Kazz, we voted "no" last year. the govt didnt like that, so here we go again.... Its all a bit bizzare

4:37 pm

zoozzoom

thats because you have to keep voting untill you say YES..of course..lol

4:38 pm

Soodle

Then factor in this godforsaken country's utter dependancy on the EU, and you gotta wonder..

4:38 pm

Kazzer99

i know - exactly zooz - you cant hold up the european elephant

4:39 pm

Soodle

Hey!! I come onto Babble to get away from it alll. so I repeat...Heres to Arthur!!! Slainte!!!

4:42 pm

Kazzer99

oops dr that was the plural

4:42 pm

zoozzoom

4:42 pm

DR1965

4:42 pm

zoozzoom

DR1965

Hi Red!

5:13 pm

5:17 pm

zoozzoom

Many thanks babble friends.

5:17 pm

DR1965

I am holding it until I hiccup again : )

5:17 pm

dcseain

hi, red. I'm tired, no longer hungry, and here to complete the grid.

5:17 pm

DR1965

was the surgery today DC?

5:17 pm

redturtlehead

and TOm is doing well?

5:18 pm

dcseain

i left tom not long after they gave him a PCA Drip of Delaudid - or however you spell it. They had him extubated only 2.5h out of OR.

5:18 pm

dcseain

he's looking well, and his numbers are good, though BP has not yet stabalized.

5:18 pm

DR1965

sounds like he is doing ok then

5:19 pm

DR1965

* except for BP

5:19 pm

redturtlehead

good news, I'm sure the CLinic is doing it right!

5:21 pm

DR1965

LOL I guessed at the rh10! YEHA!

5:22 pm

redturtlehead

Oh I have not gotten that one yet. I was happy with the runny nose rh....

5:23 pm

DR1965

its a glen campbell cowboy song Red

5:23 pm

DR1965

oh- hubby home brb

5:23 pm

dcseain

yes, he's doing well, and the BP is expected for post-open-heart surgery. The removed 12g of tissue from his septum. The surgeon was impressed - he'd not seen that much removed in at least 15 years.

5:23 pm

redturtlehead

Bing! I got that DR, My sister used to play that song all the time!

5:24 pm

dcseain

ty, red, i loved that song when i was small.

5:24 pm

redturtlehead

I actually still like to hear it once in a while...

5:24 pm

redturtlehead

I think in a few weeks TOm is going to start feeling much better than he has in a long time...

5:25 pm

dcseain

agreed, red :)

5:25 pm

dcseain

and yes, the Clinic has been wonderful

5:25 pm

DR1965

glad to help

5:25 pm

redturtlehead

Its good to hear good news about some health care....

5:27 pm

dcseain

now, what it'l cost us, that's another question entirely.

5:27 pm

dcseain

last visit they billed 13k, of which we owe 1k and change

5:27 pm

dcseain

not bad, really.

5:28 pm

Kazzer99

eek thats scary when its free here

5:31 pm

dcseain

i can imagine, kazzer. For the type of surgery he had, alone - not including the blood tests and office visits - will likely be betwen 30k and 50k billed to the insurance. Heavens willing, we'll only owe about 5k of it at most.

5:31 pm

dcseain

Great blessing is that the Clinic is in-network for his insurance. So it'll cost us the least possible amount out of pocket.

5:32 pm

dcseain

What they pay for the surgery the insuance'll make up in drug costs within a couple of years. He'll be losing 3-to-5 of his meds for this operation. :)

5:32 pm

redturtlehead

still good, man i hope i never need any surgery like that...

5:32 pm

Kazzer99

Well DC you have all my best wishes to you both and i hope that everything goes well for you

5:32 pm

dcseain

thank you, kazzer :)

5:33 pm

dcseain

may no one here nor their loved ones - blood or otherwise - need such.

5:33 pm

dcseain

red, did you make the money pile, or it from GEICO?

5:34 pm

dcseain

it's really cute

5:34 pm

Kazzer99

i get my meds free which is good cos it would cost me about Â£90 a month if i had to buy them - i get 11 different prescriptions a month

5:34 pm

dcseain

tom currently has 12 different prescription pills - costing about US$300/mo with insurance.

5:35 pm

redturtlehead

I took it from google images.

5:35 pm

redturtlehead

thats going to change though, DC hopefully they will reduce or get rid of a few now.

5:35 pm

dcseain

i'm not complaining, just saying that that is the current reality in the US for those with chronic conditions/diseases.

5:35 pm

dcseain

yes, red, at least 3 heart meds will go away.

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

but yes, its pretty hard to get sick in the united States, even with Insurance.

5:37 pm

Kazzer99

the national health service might be a bit slow and creaky but at least most people get what they need - we do have issues with some of the new expensive cancer drugs and such like - sometimes you have to make a special case to get them - we call it the postcode lottery here

5:38 pm

dcseain

yes, new drugs are hard here too, likely for much the same reason.

5:38 pm

redturtlehead

I think if these republican senators spent a few days watching what goes through or Emergencies rooms they would quickly approve some sort of intense regulation and public option.

5:39 pm

dcseain

so true, red.

5:39 pm

redturtlehead

when zofran first came out I used to have to fill out a form that we had tried three other cheaper drugs fisrt to be able to use it.... and it is so much better and safer...

5:40 pm

Wolvie

Hey dc - just checked the status - have to say WOOT!

5:40 pm

o-o

why would they care about anyone if they are so content to discard those who fight the wars they eagerly find to fight

5:40 pm

dcseain

thanks, wolvie :) Yes, so far, so good

5:41 pm

dcseain

Excellent point, BabbleRabble. And good afternoon.

5:41 pm

o-o

glad to hear the news, dc

5:41 pm

redturtlehead

its not that they would care, but they would realize the absoloute waste in the system, they dont care a bit about their constituents, thats obvious...

5:41 pm

Wolvie

just popped into babble on the off chance you may be here - so glad for you guys. I will check back tomorrow. Have a good evening and such. Same to Tom - as much as can be. Looking goood!

5:41 pm

dcseain

thank you, BabbleRabble.

5:42 pm

dcseain

g'night wolvie, and thank you

5:42 pm

Wolvie

so see everyone tomorrow *poof*

5:42 pm

dcseain

so seemingly true that, red. or at least they don't care in a way that you or i recognize.

5:42 pm

wildcat17

ar6/18 please

5:43 pm

hurshy

that's because if the democrats pass a health plan, then the democrats are the heroes. they can't let that happen! the goal of each party is to make the other party look bad and ineffective so they can get into power.

5:43 pm

dcseain

oh, for coalition governments.

5:43 pm

Kazzer99

down to 7

5:44 pm

dcseain

5:44 pm

dcseain

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to ruleâ€”and both commonly succeed, and are right. ~ H. L. Mencken

5:56 pm

justafreep

hello and ty for the fa8, br. I've got 10 minutes on the grid, so your timing was impeccable!

5:57 pm

o-o

Hello, justafreep

5:57 pm

dcseain

hi, freep

5:57 pm

periwinkle

hello all, back to finish

5:57 pm

periwinkle

dc how did Tom's surgery go?

5:58 pm

dcseain

very well, peri. We expect him to be much better tomorrow. Today, we rest. We've all been through a lot.

5:58 pm

periwinkle

good to hear, will keep him and you in my thoughts, dc

6:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello all

6:01 pm

dcseain

thanks, peri

6:01 pm

dcseain

hi, TO

6:04 pm

justafreep

I'm clearly coming in late on all this, DC, but glad to hear things are well.

6:08 pm

justafreep

has anyone discussed why fa8 is a word but fa9 isn't?

6:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

if you tell me what fa 9 is i may be able to help you freep ;)

6:11 pm

redturtlehead

there is no fa 9.

6:11 pm

redturtlehead

there is a fi 9, a brand of tire, or a hot rock.

6:11 pm

jacq

thats a good reason for it to not be a word

6:12 pm

justafreep

I know there isn't one. I'm just saing that if FA8 is a word, the even more so version of FA5 should be a word. Must be a different definition.

6:12 pm

jacq

back again for 5 minutes

6:13 pm

redturtlehead

possibly, I think i dont have the word yet that is vexing you Freep.

6:13 pm

redturtlehead

Oooh, I htink in truth Freep it's because it really isn't a word in the proper sense. Hmmm.

6:14 pm

jacq

there area couple of fa8's it could be

6:14 pm

justafreep

considering that I've never heard fa8 used in real life, it's not vexing. more amusing.

6:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

well is there fa6?

6:15 pm

o-o

iest

6:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry fa8?

6:15 pm

redturtlehead

yes it is a plural of the fa 5, to lose ones conciousness..

6:15 pm

redturtlehead

HI BR again, hows the hammock?

6:16 pm

dcseain

ty, freep. sorry i stepped away for a moment.

6:16 pm

6:39 pm

dcseain

Hello, Scrabbler, has getting to the end of the month been an ordeal?

6:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:39 pm

dcseain

6:39 pm

6:39 pm

dcseain

enlarged septum in the heart

6:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

Whoo Hoo the lego store website, awesome, no space shuttle but well, lots of other things.

6:40 pm

gortmold

6:40 pm

Scrabbler

Yay for Tom! Yay for PCA pumps!

6:40 pm

dcseain

i saw space shuttle lego stuff at Toys R Us two mos ago

6:41 pm

dcseain

12 grams, not kg, gortmold

6:41 pm

kje

LOVED my PCA pump - would marry it if I could

6:41 pm

redturtlehead

I need to keep searching the site....

6:41 pm

gortmold

ahh, well that would be bad too i guess

6:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

good lord i am sorry but i am surrounded by illness and death the last month. i know someone who is dying whom i cannot see and i just don't know aht to do to communicate with him

6:41 pm

o-o

is + country duo h**** and jethro

6:41 pm

kje

glad to hear he is doing well DC

6:41 pm

Scrabbler

One more work day --Monday--at current office. Wow, I can hardly comprehend that I will be escaping the tyranny, micormanagement, nitpicking, etc

6:42 pm

dcseain

my grandfather died last night, too.

6:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

scarabs will you have better hours?

6:42 pm

dcseain

sorry to hear, TO, is the person hearing, but anable to speak?

6:42 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, seain, I'm so sorry . . .

6:42 pm

kje

that is great news too scrab

6:42 pm

Scrabbler

The guy with esophageal cancer, Owl? Send a card with a letter.

6:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am sorry, seain

6:42 pm

kje

wow, DC, this is a challenging week for you! sorry to hear about your grand dad

6:42 pm

Scrabbler

I saw that one your LJ, Seain--so sorry.

6:43 pm

dcseain

ty, kje. Conveniently, i'm already in Cleveland at least

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

I don't know where he is. i bought cards but they all seemed inappropriate...what do you send to someone who is dying?

6:43 pm

Scrabbler

Similar hours, Owl, but commute = 12 min instead of current 45. One day weekly I will work at a Native American health center on a reservation 25 min away.

6:43 pm

kje

was it unexpected, DC?

6:43 pm

dcseain

kind thoughts, TO, and if you're close, a polite blessing that lets them know that you're okay with them leaving this plain.

6:44 pm

redturtlehead

I see mission from Mars, but not the shuttle. ahhh, may go with the firehouse theme, he is young. he will not care.

6:44 pm

Scrabbler

"Thinking of you" cards, owl

6:44 pm

redturtlehead

Oh it is definitely list time, BRB.

6:44 pm

dcseain

kje, he had a massive stroke a week ago. So neither expeted nor unexpected. It's for the best, really. This way, one of his children outlived him. My uncle is not well, and he's the last of the 3 in that generation.

6:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am gogn to try to call. i suppose i can try tonight, i imagine the days and nights may be irrelevant at this point

6:46 pm

kje

TO - I agree with DC - mostly just letting the person know you are there, and truly being available to let them talk, relive shared good times, and be comfortable with what is happening is best

6:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

kje: not that close

6:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

if it were a friend i would do whatever.,, both comfortable with any awkwardness

6:47 pm

dcseain

best with it, TO. It's never easy.

6:47 pm

kje

ah - didn't realize

6:49 pm

kje

DC - Tom went to CC for his OR?

6:49 pm

dcseain

yes, kje

6:49 pm

dcseain

he's in J-56.8 right now

6:50 pm

dcseain

Ty for EO words, BR

6:50 pm

o-o

yw

6:50 pm

kje

that is a big procedure to have so far from home - nice that you could go with him - best to you both DC

6:51 pm

kje

I must run, bbl

6:51 pm

dcseain

it's only 6.5h by car. Longer going home, as we'll need to stop frequently.

6:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok left message on voicemail. creepy that he has his home # in hospice and you hear his well voice

6:52 pm

dcseain

i think my cousin may be playing guitar hero.

6:52 pm

dcseain

he'll be so glad to hear from you TO

6:54 pm

redturtlehead

I just found that they are offerring a lego Advent calendar, what a nice gift.

6:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

well seain, i look at it this way/ he has tons of close friends. i pray every night that he is free form pain and has peace of mind. i can do no more. you were not here after he was given final diganoses and i phoned hom and he railed at me. so i do what is right for him, not what makes me feel better

6:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

he has friends there. all he needs is prayer, since i do believe

6:56 pm

dcseain

that's good of you do what you are, TO. Sounds like a difficult situation.

6:56 pm

redturtlehead

TO that is a very good attitude, so many people do things tht look like helping others, but are mostly for themselves. it is very difficult to go through that.

6:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think i am g oing. don't feel like babbling right now. good luck all.

6:57 pm

dcseain

g'night TO. Sweet dreams

Dorens, I broke my right fibula a few years ago which meant I couldn't drive, and crutches were hopeless. I got a walker -- much easier for me to cope with, but I do live on one floor.

9:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

For those wondering if this baby boy (as of yet unnamed, but we suggest "Hulk") is the heaviest newborn in history, the answer is no. The record belongs to an American infant born in 1879. He weighed 23 pounds, 12 ounces. Sadly, he died a few hours after being born. An ABC station reports that the heaviest baby to survive weighed 22 lbs., 8 ounces.

9:19 pm

lbdawger

there's a picture of the baby on msn.com. he's next to a "normal" sized newborn. He's 3 times the size, and apparently is 3 times louder and hungrier

9:19 pm

hi mkg

9:19 pm

refresh if curious

9:19 pm

Jacula

The first thing my daughter (born at home) heard was probably, (from my GP), 'She's been here before!' Babies are supposed to not be able to support their own heads when first born, but not her. She was moving her head about, looking around the room and taking everything in.

9:19 pm

9:53 pm

lbdawger

some people are so rude! trif

9:53 pm

Trifioso

JMC, I find it hard to believe 19 people in this town were working two jobs. There are two sets of twins in his grade, and their parents were at the open house.

9:53 pm

Jacula

Might have been a progress report on an ailing parent or something, Trif?

9:54 pm

car.eeyore

She should have at least stepped out of the room.

9:54 pm

jmcnrick

I am just saying that we don't know what other calls are on people's time

9:54 pm

lbdawger

mi + layers, like a wedding cake has them

9:54 pm

Trifioso

Maybe jac, but could she not have excused herself and left the room quickly and quietly?

9:54 pm

Trifioso

snap. car!

9:54 pm

Jacula

Mind you, I would have left the room to take the call, if that was the case.

9:54 pm

Jacula

Yes, Trif.

9:55 pm

mkg

ty got it.

9:55 pm

herinfernallady

I think if you are busy and a parent TURN THE BLOODY PHONE off if their is someone speaking its rude

9:55 pm

Trifioso

I agree herin.

9:55 pm

angelinaxox

hi, have been lurking and trif i have to comment on what you just said, i teach kindergarten and at my back to school night this year i had a parent on the phone for at least five minutes during my talk; i was in total shock

9:55 pm

lbdawger

as the teacher, i would have said something like "and that's why your students aren't allowed to have their cell phones on during class."

9:55 pm

jmcnrick

got no problem with that rule herin!

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

lol lbd!

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

wtg!

9:56 pm

DR1965

exactly Dawger!

9:56 pm

Trifioso

wow, angel! What would have happened if you had confronted her, or simply just stopped speaking and gave her the evil eye?

9:56 pm

herinfernallady

Trifs I sent you an email

9:56 pm

mkg

mi 7 32 please second one?

9:56 pm

Jacula

Well, you could turn the 'phone off if you've left someone else to take calls for you about ailing parents/sick children etc.

9:56 pm

Trifioso

okay herin. I will check it later, if that is okay. I only have about 30 minutes to babble today, and I really, really need this!

9:56 pm

angelinaxox

i was in such disbelief i had no idea what to say

9:57 pm

lbdawger

It's stated in my syllabus, Unless you are and EMT or on fire patrol, turn off your cell phones. If it goes off during my class, you earn a Zero for the day.

9:57 pm

DR1965

COuld th eparent not leave the room to take the call

9:57 pm

herinfernallady

Hun that is ok. I just wanted to say I sented you one

9:57 pm

Trifioso

I think maybe I would not have said anything. I think I would have just stopped talking, and stood there and looked at her, hoping the wait would clue her in

9:57 pm

Jacula

I'm sure that in most cases, the person answering their mobile is just rude. But there might be same cases where that is not the case.

9:57 pm

lbdawger

superlative form of the one above it, mkg

9:58 pm

oops missing me 7 32 second one. any clues out t here?

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

I have gotten calls from the hotline on my cell (or my son) and I only say "wait a minute" then leave the room and then talk

9:59 pm

lbdawger

Most people just think they are self important, they live in their own world. being rude only happens to them, not them being rude to others. Stopping and waiting would not have bothered this person at all.

9:59 pm

herinfernallady

I was watching Lord of the Rings in the cinema and someone had their mobile phone on and it went off and they walked past me lets just say they didn't dare walk back to their seat

9:59 pm

DR1965

This is so interesting because tonight at dinner in a cafe my hubby's cell phone rang. I made him go outside to take it

9:59 pm

Jacula

jmc - I meant the fact that they'd left their mobile on (presumably in silent mode) might be excused. Then, they would wave a silent apology and leave the room.

9:59 pm

DR1965

We had not started eating yet - he was annoyed but I told him- No one else wants to hear your business

9:59 pm

lbdawger

thank you DR!!! more people need to do that!

DR1965

10:25 pm

herinfernallady

Because i was watching an article on the news

10:26 pm

DR1965

10:27 pm

herinfernallady

Yep. She has had 3 dogs so far get Parvo. It means her ''ranch'' is infected

10:27 pm

Yes, Parvo virus is awful. But most dogs in UK are now vaccinated against that.

10:27 pm

DR1965

car.eeyore

Trif...you should hear the pitiful noises that Dante's stuff NO 4 is making! poor thing!

10:30 pm

Jacula

My answer to working out which drugs, shampoos etc., can be used on humans would be to actually test them on humans - like proven serial killers etc.

10:30 pm

herinfernallady

Oh and they say that once they have Parvo they are fine after when they survive. My friends dog has been horridly ill from having it as a pu. But that is also poor breeding *rescue*

10:30 pm

herinfernallady

Jacula

Okay, when I met Beloved almost 7 years ago I made it clear to him that I was happy with only having 2 kids and that I didn't want any more... then his selfish, and self-obessed ex did what she did and so we now have his child in the frame. That might sound nasty and selfish of me. It isn't really and we're doing okay.

10:52 pm

herinfernallady

well, I can still help, pini as long as I can see the chat log. and guess what I found through the online school archives? LOTS of master's theses from past years! I can see the sort of thing they will expect! so happy to have found this.

11:37 pm

stidmama

ni 5 is Latin for nothing

11:37 pm
