I think I shall become a sociopath and eliminate the truly petulant and abrasive personalities of the world, starting with my neighbors and the adult miscreants of them...
12:56 am

being a sociopath is not as easy as it seems, PAV...trust me, I know!
12:57 am
PAV3
perhaps...does it pay well?
12:57 am

after striving for the past month to find a way to keep some 67 odd employees from suffering furloughs, I could not in the end do so...so for the past week I've had to defend the calculations leading to the horror which must come...and in a room wherein I am the least paid and hold the most authority and responsibility was "thrown under the proverbial bus"..only to come home Wed evening to find a neighbor's guest parking in my second space..so I tagged it for towing (as I'm also on the HOA board)...tonight I found another neighbor parking in my spot so I asked her to move,,,and after listening to her gripe and complain about her own neighbor's bad parking habits, she finally did as requested. AS I was fnishing putting the dogs away she was conversing with first said neighbor about the parking issue...first said neighbor then followed me as I went to tag another vehicle which pulled into 2nd neighbor's space (which she was fearful of using) to show that I'm an equal opportunist... 1st said neighbor prevented me from tagging the errant vehicle and we were accosted by the vehcile's owners who were just leaving after visiting another owner (#3) with a *winner* of a daughter... "Peter never has anything better to do" ...

1:08 am
PAV3
btw 1st said neighbor has no "visible means of support" i.e. I don't think she has a "normal job" but lots of male visitors in high profile cars...
1:09 am
PAV3
sorry for the burp...
1:09 am
rbud
oh, that's awful, PAV - so you think you tagged one of her "friends"? (good for you!)
1:09 am
dcseain
agree with rbud. she should instruct her guests as to how to park properly
1:09 am
PAV3
I took the pics and sent them in to the property manager as proof...so I'm through being nice...
1:10 am
danf63
not as bad as it could have been PAV...when my ex was pregnant with Darth, I complained to the manager about someone who parked in my space EVERY morning (I worked night shift). The manager towed it the next morning before I got home without trying to find out who it was. That afternoon, "someone" destroyed my windshield with a hachet...$900 worth of windshield!
1:11 am
PAV3
said neighbor knows the rules but alas she can't control where her friends park...I don't live in fear of retaliation, but they'll ru3 the day when they try...
1:12 am
rbud
oh, Lord, it's a screwed-up world - everyone acts like they feel so entitled - same problem where my Mom lives, she has only so much room to park, and the neighbor is always in it, so she parks around the corner - and she's 79 - he's about 38.
1:14 am
rbud
he's always in front of her door, and a big empty space back of him where he should be, but she's "too polite" to take it.
1:14 am
Just1Mar
speaking generally, of course, people are such aholes
1:14 am
PAV3
neighbor #3's kids are sorrowful excuses...the daugh had a boyfirend who was caught with her best friend a few years back having "relations" after breaking into a vacant unit...he went to the pokey for abit as he was underage...but now he's communing with the household...
1:15 am
PAV3
perdon...she was underage, he was just barely legal...
1:16 am
rbud
hmmm, isn't "petri" a word? a dish?
1:16 am
dcseain
Petri is a proper noun
1:16 am
rbud
aha, mighta known
1:17 am
VolleymomDee
was the dish petri or petrie?
1:17 am
PAV3
they're known to be thieves, especially of nice garden plants and pots and patio furniture...a contractor found some healthy mj plants being grown on the roof above their unit...all the police would do is "counsel" them...

Wolvie

4:52 am
Wolvie

4:53 am

4:55 am
KrisE
20 years ago for mom; several friends, too
4:56 am
Wolvie
jan 89 for my Dad - so 20 years here too. Still think about him tho. :-)
4:57 am
KrisE
I still remember when Mom's best friend came to see her the last time. I'd been soldiering on nicely, but that made me break down
4:57 am
grannyrose
only years for my dad, he was diagnosed at the same time as my friend, but had left it too late
4:57 am
grannyrose
** 7 years
4:58 am
KrisE
in some ways, they don't really leave us.
4:58 am
Wolvie
pretty recent then. tough go both at once
4:58 am
KrisE
I chew just like my mom
4:58 am
grannyrose
this new keyboard is still driving me nuts. it misses letters and the space bar doesn't always work.
4:59 am
Wolvie
kris - that is so cute. I don't chew like either parent, since they both had or have false teeth.
5:00 am
KrisE
mine, too, and my teeth are still the natural kind, but still
5:00 am
grannyrose
* giggling * the mind pictures are driving crazy
5:00 am
Wolvie
I have to be honest, I have no idea how my Dad chewed, per se. You must be pretty observant. ;-)
5:01 am
Wolvie
I am smiling too granny. Now I will have to see how kris chews someday.
5:01 am
KrisE
some things just strike one...I have the same bump on my feet that my mom had, too
5:01 am
Wolvie
(all in fun Kris)
5:01 am
grannyrose
oh, good news, did you know i'm to be a granny for the second time?
5:01 am
KrisE
always with my mouth closed, wolfie!
5:01 am
Wolvie
I have noticed that my feet and hands are evenly split between mom and dad. amazingly, I still have great balance
5:02 am
Wolvie
heh heh kris
5:02 am
grannyrose
ummm, i think that's your big toe, kris
5:02 am

5:05 am
KrisE

5:05 am
Wolvie
ahhh - it is spring time here - also beautiful time
5:05 am
grannyrose
march isn't such a bad month either!!!
5:05 am
KrisE

5:07 am
Wolvie

5:07 am
grannyrose

5:11 am
KrisE
the world turned upside down
5:12 am
Wolvie
I still saw it kris - and i still follow the Pats. :-)
5:12 am
KrisE
Shall I talk mass for you?
5:12 am
Wolvie
I bet it did. The bambino banished!
5:12 am
Wolvie
no no - that is okay. :-)
5:13 am
KrisE
The lawr offices of...
5:14 am
Wolvie
lol - ah memories
5:14 am
Wolvie
pahk the cah... oh man - when i first moved to mass in 87, i grinned all the time
5:14 am
Wolvie
thought the accent was so cute
5:14 am
KrisE
I grew up in the midwest, so the lingo is still a novelty
5:15 am
KrisE
I moved here in 86
5:15 am
Wolvie
so did i - i grew up in Michigan
5:15 am
Wolvie
wow - just about the same time!
5:15 am
KrisE
Are you sure we don't know each other?
5:15 am
Wolvie
pretty close i'd say, and lol - no I am not!
5:16 am
Wolvie
i lived on the north shore and then 495 ish tho - lynnfield, then nahant, then finally uxbridge
5:17 am
KrisE
I came to be a nanny - lived on beacon hill, then in brookline, then allston and "out" to watertown
5:17 am
Wolvie
nahant was gorgeous - we had an oceanfront rental home on the protected side - could see miles of beach
5:17 am
KrisE
It is really pretty over there.
5:17 am
Wolvie
ooh beacon hill. no parking but great shops.
5:17 am
KrisE
yes, great walking
5:17 am
Wolvie
I did a lot of construction projects in the whole downtown area
5:18 am
KrisE
you did construction? I'm impressed
5:18 am
grannyrose
probably with leggo bricks
5:19 am
KrisE
because I can't hang an Ikea set of hooks on my wall
5:19 am
Wolvie
it is a job like any other - only difference is I owned my own company for a few years before I retired
5:19 am
KrisE
lol, granny
5:19 am
Wolvie
leggos are good building blocks granny!
5:19 am
KrisE
I can do legos :)
5:19 am
Wolvie
see? there you are
5:20 am
Wolvie
i see I am making no grid progress - going to dive in!
5:20 am
grannyrose
having to learn all over again, number one grandson is nearly 2 years old
5:21 am
forwardbyfaith
can someone help me with the ri6 please?
5:22 am
KrisE
musical term for slow down
5:22 am
forwardbyfaith
thanks Kris!
5:22 am
grannyrose
faith, ri + ****y, being very slow
5:22 am
KrisE
it starts with a brand of dye
5:22 am
KrisE
granny, relearning legos?
5:23 am
grannyrose
had three sons and four brothers, guess it won't take me too long
5:24 am
KrisE
if your grandkids are like my friends' kids, you won't get much of a chance to touch the legos
5:24 am
KrisE
"play with me" - but if you add to their building, it's wrong
5:24 am
KrisE
And if you build a separate thing, they need the bricks you're using
5:25 am
grannyrose
the main problem will be getting down onto the floor ( but getting back up will also be a challenge )
5:25 am
KrisE
yes, I can see that will be tough. Are you slated for physical therapy when freed from the chair?
5:26 am
grannyrose
have you ever noticed? the older you become, the further away the floor is.
5:26 am
KrisE
yes, indeed!
5:27 am
grannyrose
kris, have to go for hydrotherapy 4 times a week for the next 6 weeks
5:27 am
KrisE
and the more incentive it takes to go up or downstairs
5:28 am
KrisE
hydrotherapy sounds good - I hope it's helpful
5:28 am
forwardbyfaith
missing one the ur5,12's - have the ones that end with something not common and what you do when you evaluate something
5:29 am
grannyrose
kris,that is why i won't live in a home with stairs.lived in such homes as a child, it was like an avalanche of things came down, but nobody would take them back up!!!!
5:29 am
grannyrose
faith, change the vowel ending
5:30 am
grannyrose
of the one with something ot common
5:30 am
forwardbyfaith
ty granny!
5:30 am
grannyrose
* not *
5:31 am
KrisE
why does my husband not know how to change the ink cartridge?
5:31 am
grannyrose
that's a turn around, kris
5:32 am
grannyrose
hey kje
5:32 am
KrisE
nevermind - why are we out of black ink?
5:32 am
KrisE
good morning, kje
5:33 am
kje
why why why - sounds like the 3 year old I was with last night...
5:33 am
KrisE
was the 3 yr old whining, too?
5:33 am
grannyrose
lol, kris
5:33 am
kje
LOL - no, I think at that age it is called making conversation
5:40 am
KrisE
Well, I suppose I'd better get up and going or go back to bed. Anybody need a clue before I go?
5:40 am
kje
no, just starting, but thanks.... and I vote for going back to bed
5:40 am
Wolvie
I'm good kris but thanks. Have a great day
5:41 am

5:50 am
suefrad625
has anyone used 4fleas dog flea tablets?
5:51 am
Wolvie
no - I use frontline plus
5:51 am
Wolvie
for my dog. ;-0
5:52 am
suefrad625
getting too expensive
5:52 am
Wolvie
what - frontline? I get mine at Dr's Foster and Smith, sometimes Petmeds when they run a special
5:54 am
Wolvie
where do you buy yours sue?
5:55 am
lynxxx
I use Advocate - covers fleas and a lot of other things. Have just found ordering online is some 40% cheaper than buying thru a vet. Not sure if available in States
5:56 am
Wolvie
online sure saves me a bunch here - frontline plus does ticks , eggs, a whole bunch of stuff - there is another brand too - not sure if it is advocate or not
5:56 am
kje
afro not a word????
5:56 am
Wolvie
nope. that bummed me out kje. I tried it a couple of times to be sure.
5:57 am
kje
(sorry, apparently kris' whining was contagious)
5:57 am
kje
enable has not seen my hair in high humidity, apparently
5:57 am
Wolvie
nor mine. :-)
5:58 am
Wolvie
sue - sorry if my joke piffed you off
5:58 am
suefrad625
no, puppy did. pooped in Wesleys room AFTER she went and pooped outside
5:59 am
suefrad625
it's not like I dont have a dog door available to the dogs and cats 24/7
5:59 am
Wolvie
oh no - i hate messes like that. Thankfully, the puppy will grow out of it
5:59 am
kje
the talk about fleas likely spooked her...
6:00 am
suefrad625
I have been shopping world wide, that is why I asked you all
6:00 am
suefrad625
this is the only place I can hear around the world in one question
6:00 am
Wolvie
ah. that is tr**. Babble is great for that
6:01 am
suefrad625
wolvie, I know your heart is good, you cant piss me off
6:01 am
suefrad625
it would be hippacritical of you
6:02 am
Wolvie
lol - ty sue - i just laughed at myself really after i saw that i used frontline plus.
6:02 am
suefrad625
have you used the frontline plus kits?
6:03 am
Wolvie
kits? oh - for cats? yes.
6:04 am
suefrad625
and dogs. they say it is the same med for all animals, the dosage is diff. so they sell the xlarge with a vial and sering. You dose to the size u need, getting upto 3 mths for a med dog out of one xlarge
6:05 am
Wolvie
vial and seringe? no - I use the topical stuff - usually buy a six pack at a time
6:06 am
Wolvie
is the seringe stuff cheaper then?
6:06 am
kje
sometimes I love these pet talks, b/c I keep thinking how much I want a dog, then you guys remind me how much work they are
6:06 am
suefrad625
much cheaper
6:07 am
Wolvie
once a month dose kje - not that big a deal. :-)
6:07 am
suefrad625
check out EBAY
6:07 am
kje
watched chitty bang bang yesterday and now I want an english sheep dog
6:07 am
suefrad625
sorry KJE, it is well worth it
6:07 am
Wolvie
hmm - i will look into that sue - i didn't even know that was available
6:07 am
suefrad625
now that is a dog you have to work fo
6:07 am
Wolvie
POSH song! too funny - we were all on that yesterday
6:07 am
suefrad625
love chitty
6:08 am
kje
they say they are lousy guard dogs though... everyone is a friend
6:09 am
Wolvie
unless you want to be vigilant, sometimes a very friendly dog is best. Depends on your habits. :-)
6:09 am
suefrad625
they also collect all kids sticky food in their hair
6:09 am
suefrad625
lets not start with comming in from the rain
6:09 am
kje
well, don't want a mean one... but would be nice if it at least growled if someone broke in - LOL
6:09 am
Wolvie
how odd - tabacco has another name in this grid. ;-)
6:10 am
suefrad625
go with a red tipped hound or some kind of hound
6:10 am
suefrad625
very friendly, but they like to bark
6:10 am
kje
I like bigger dogs, and non yappers
6:11 am
Wolvie
friendly dogs are different when they are alone - i know my collie is. He would take someone's leg off if they came in at the wrong time, or when we weren't here
6:11 am
kje
funny - you think tobacco, I think featherbee
6:11 am
Wolvie
ta 7 sue - uses that we at the end
6:11 am
Wolvie
my collie is a full size boy - 80 pounds. A bit smaller than my normal sheps, but still a big boy
6:12 am
suefrad625
you think tobacco, I think pot
6:13 am
Wolvie
tobacco encompasses all for me. ;-0
6:13 am
kje
the friends i was visiting last night have a little (no idea what it is really) but it barks at everything.... for a long time... everytime you blink at it - bark... makes me want to stick it in a closet
6:13 am
suefrad625
not getting ta7
6:13 am
Wolvie
sticky stuff plus the we
6:14 am
kje
ta7 - cigarette low *** ingredient + pot
6:14 am
Wolvie
oh yeah kje - i hear you. I hate dogs like that
6:15 am
Wolvie
I need a ur 5/12 for fw - i have the u plus hard to find, then the ur plus air rearranged, what one am i not monkeying?
6:15 am
suefrad625
we call those dogs....PUNT dogs
6:15 am
kje
well, I was gonna say it made me want to drop kick it, but thought you guys might then recommend I was not dog owner ready
6:16 am
Wolvie
you are ready for a doggie kje - because you know what you want
6:16 am
suefrad625
we respect you know the difference between a dog and a PUNT
6:17 am
kje
wanna clue it?
6:17 am
kje
woohoo wolvie!!!!
6:17 am
suefrad625
I cant believe it, you ganna leave us now?

kje

6:18 am
kje

6:18 am
Wolvie
medical day. ;-)
6:18 am
Wolvie
any clues before I head out?
6:19 am
kje
go4 is caused by ur5 crystals
6:19 am
suefrad625
naw, I am going to look for coupons, today is shopping day
6:19 am
Wolvie
i thought that is what you meant kje thanks. :)
6:19 am

6:31 am
kje

6:39 am
featherbee

6:39 am

6:39 am
kje

autumn, don't we love it? Better than what's to follow. It's been very dry here; we just got an OK to outside burning piles.
9:14 am
Dorens
burning leaves? one of my iconic and favorite smells of childhood and i miss it. we never can do it here. enjoy
9:15 am
saanichcat
will do for sure! But the leaves now mulch.
9:17 am
Dorens
i have leaves galore... one of the problems of having 1/3 acre filled with tall oaks and beech trees... beech nuts and acorns litter my driveway now, and then more leaves than I could possibly deal with.

Cross--question about my shower project. I went to replace the 72 tiles last night (8 x 9 tiles) and cannot fit in the last 2 on the top row! I think it is due to residual gr5 on some tiles. I need about 1-2 mm removed from the tiles and Lowe's won't do less than 2 inches...can I file off the amount to get the tiles to fit?
1:09 pm
zoozzoom
lol, hello Crista
1:10 pm
featherbee
oh, lol, no it isn't. wait....
1:10 pm
elder
hello Chista.
1:10 pm
Scrabbler
Hi Christa
1:10 pm
featherbee
it's an anagram of one who looks at books. or to call someone honey again.
1:10 pm
Scrabbler
TY, Feather--odd word
1:11 pm
featherbee
i'd try it scrabs.
1:11 pm
crosshair
scrabby they sell a nifty gadget no house should be without,and it is just for this problem,its called a drummel tool,and with it you can either cut or shave down the tile your putting in,or trim the tiles that are already up;0
1:11 pm
Scrabbler
A Dremel?
1:12 pm
Nef
that's really a dumb word. They don't accept rerate; but they accept THAT?
1:12 pm
featherbee
off to other things. bbl.
1:12 pm
Scrabbler
OK, so I can solve this problem then. I was nearly crying last evening because I wanted to complete the work last night and do the grout today.
1:12 pm
crosshair
yes indeed
1:12 pm
Scrabbler
Bye feather
1:12 pm
crosshair
comes with a whole bunch of different tips for different aplications
1:13 pm
Scrabbler
Then I dropped tiles when I tried to squeeze some in--broke 4-5....
1:13 pm
elder
Bye for now featherbee.
1:13 pm
crosshair
you can use it for furniture stripping,cutting metal,removing old gr 5/16
1:13 pm
Scrabbler
I returned to Lowe's after work today to buy more tiles--fortunately they cost just $0.16 each
1:13 pm
Nef
I love my Dremel. The kids do too so I have to hide it (it's in my clothes closet in a shoe box).
1:14 pm
crosshair
nef knows.it does a million things;)
1:14 pm
Scrabbler
TY, Cross & Nef!
1:14 pm
elder
Scrabbler, so frustrating when your trying to finish a task/job.
1:14 pm
crosshair
should be around 30-40 dollars
1:14 pm
crosshair
but you will use it for everything!!
1:14 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, I was optimistic and feeling smug as I applied adhesive and then placed each tile row by row then get to the last 2 and no room!
1:15 pm
Nef
Scrabs, it's the handiest little tool you can own. I had a spoon in the disposer and my Dremel fixed the roughness of the spoon so it's still useable
1:15 pm
Scrabbler
I told myself, "Don't cry, you can solve this problem."
1:16 pm
Scrabbler
I have some spoons with that problem
1:16 pm
elder
I would have wept through frustration.
1:17 pm
Nef
I think my Dremel was around $50-60; but it has so any attachments that I haven't used yet (and I've had it for several years)
1:17 pm
Scrabbler
I was close, Elder, as I was tired and on call too, and messy with adhesive on my hands, dropping and cracking tiles
1:17 pm
crosshair
you will love it for refinishing old chairs erc
1:18 pm
Scrabbler
Yay, this project will ultimately be successful.
1:18 pm
Nef
{{{Scrabs}}} that's when it's hard. So close and yet so hard to finish
1:18 pm
crosshair
but a 3 minute go on that old gr 5/16 and yer done;))
1:18 pm
elder
I can picture the scene Scrabs. poor you, but how please when you finish the job, with the new tool to help.
1:18 pm
Scrabbler
I was sad this morning, looking at 70 tiles in place with 2 missing slots
1:19 pm
Scrabbler
Boy, I am finding well-hidden words now--sneaky grid.
1:20 pm
Nef
run out to Knox, buy the basic Dremel with less than 20 attachments and you will be done in no time (you will not need the 100 or so tips. Honest)
1:21 pm
Nef
brb, gotta help DH
1:21 pm
Scrabbler
I live 8 miles from town so will go to Lowe's tomorrow.
1:21 pm
crosshair
you ladies can also use it to buff your nails;))))))

2:05 pm
zoozzoom
Thanks Peri, thats how i feel about my computer at times. :-)
2:06 pm
Nef
I do have a problem with some of the complaints about us Boomers. There are so many sites that say we're going to be a drain on the country's resources, but they refuse to acknowledge that we are the healthiest soon to be elders ever.
2:06 pm
periwinkle
thanks elder

Nef
hi stid. How are you today?
2:13 pm
elder
ok will be on my way. Enjoy the grid. Bye everyone.
2:14 pm
stidmama
its going, elder -- was very un-nerved by one of the teacher's lack of clarity in expectations, and had a stern talking to him yesterday. He assures me that I am doing okay and that he will be clear with me if I seem to have trouble.
2:14 pm
stidmama
bye elder! (((hugs))) enjoy your evening!
2:14 pm
Nef
Yes, Soodle, Gen Y is 70 million people born between 1980 and 1995 I believe
2:15 pm
Soodle
Oh My!! I am personally responsible for 3 of those creatures!! LOL
2:15 pm
stidmama
well soodle, you for three, me for two. that's just a drop in the bucket!
2:16 pm
Soodle
I have called them lots of things in the past, but never Gen Y. Thats a new one for my repetoire!!
2:16 pm
Nef
I'll claim responsibility for one and also 1 Gen X myself.
2:18 pm
Nef
Some sites call them Gen Me also. ;-)
2:20 pm
Soodle
By all accounts, there is another baby boom in this country! Birth rates have shot up. There is speculation that people have less disposable income, so they are not going out to socialise. They stay in, and bingo - Baby Boom!!
2:21 pm
stidmama
oh man... and with employment dropping. that is not a good sign! though Mother did say the Irish babies were just about the sweetest she had ever seen (aside from her own grandchildren)
2:22 pm
Soodle
LOL. If ever there was a false economy. "lets stay in tonite, darling?" Nine months later - a whole lot more expense lands. Something very wrong somewhere!
2:22 pm
stidmama
have you seen Mother since she got home, Soodle?
2:23 pm
Nef
I work in a pregnancy resource center (I'm nurse manager of the prenatal program) and we've seen a large drop in the number of pregnant women coming to us for the past 6 months. I was surprised by that because I really expected the opposite
2:23 pm
rururocks
ri 6 please
2:24 pm

is it possible people are actually thinking ahead a little? It would be interesting to know if that is true nation-wide.
2:24 pm

Soodle
Stid - it is uncanny. I always just seem to see her good-byes as I log on. But one of these days, we will catch up! For what its worth, my email is medickinson@eircom.net, if you think she would like to get in touch.
2:24 pm
stidmama

bye stid. Take care of yourself
2:45 pm
Nef
DH made some fried green tomatoes and they were heavenly! I wonder if certain tomatoes are better in them than others?
2:46 pm
Nef
(phantom: parade)
2:46 pm
Soodle
Nef - are they just unripe tomatoes, or is there a particular type of tomato which just stays green. sorry to be such a tomato nerd!
2:48 pm
Nef
they are unripe tomatoes (the way DH made them, anyway). He used a bunch of our heirloom tomaotes
2:49 pm
Nef
Heirloom tomatoes are so much tastier than the hybrid varieties
2:49 pm
Soodle
Heirloom tomatoes. I am soooo provincial. I dont know what they are. I just know tomatoes grow on vines, and they taste nice.
2:52 pm
Nef
Soodle, heirloom tomatoes are varieties that are grown from seeds passed down from older varieties and have bumps or different appearances than what you see in the market. Hybrids are beautiful, but often taqsteless
2:53 pm
Nef
Big Boy tomaotes are hybrids; they make big beautiful red round tomatoes but don't always taste as tomatoey as you would expect them too
2:55 pm
Soodle
Now I know what your talking about! The tomatoes you buy in a supermarket taste like ....nothing. Home grown actually taste like ....well, tomatoes!
2:57 pm
Nef
Yep! This summer we planted Green Zebras, Cherokee, Amish Pulp, Purple Prince and I forget what other heirlooms we have. We also planted a few hybrids, but I much prefer the heirlooms
3:20 pm
Soodle
Is the chog broken, or did the tomatoes kill it?
3:20 pm
Uneaixoise
oohh, we had purple princes at out local market this summer and they were delish!
3:21 pm
Uneaixoise

Thanks Soodle. This is our Thanksgiving weekend when we are supposed to express gratitude for what we have. I had my Dad longer than most, but I still miss celebrating his birthday with him.
3:42 pm

Any snow, Bugsaw?
3:42 pm
jacq
sorry for your loss bug, and it is a very nice pic, he looks like a good honest man
3:43 pm
Bugsaw
INteresting stuff again today BR. Did you hear that there is now thot to be a relation to depression and alzheimers? That could prove to be a double whammy!
3:43 pm
Soodle
Well, may he rest in peace, and may he enjoy the celebrations being held in his honour!
3:43 pm
Bugsaw
No snow for us BR. I live close to where the winter Olympics are set for February and I bet there won't be much. El NIno year.
3:44 pm
Bugsaw
Thanks Soodle. He has an identical twin brother who is still lving so it helped to be able to buy a card anyway.
3:45 pm
Bugsaw
He was a terrific man and a gentle father. Good qualifications if you ask me.
3:45 pm
Soodle
Dads are the best!
3:46 pm
jacq
excellent qualifications bug, everyone should have a dad like him
3:46 pm
Bugsaw
I always feel so badly for people who have lousy ones.
3:46 pm
jacq
we get over it bug lol
3:46 pm
o-o
There is a correlation between who a person was and how much he or she is missed.
3:47 pm
Bugsaw
That is true BR. My first life mentor died in 1993 and I still miss her gentle presence.
3:47 pm
jacq
there is, we don't miss my father, but we would dearly miss our step-dad (dad) and he had only been with us for 10 years
3:48 pm
Soodle
My dad is 82, and if he was a horse, they would have shot him years ago, he has that many complaints. But, thankfully, he is not a horse!!
3:49 pm

I am not sure but if you get Babble Expert from Lickety (it is free, just email him for the link), there is a box called Resources and in there is a reverse dictionary button. Just type in key words for the definition and it will show a buch of possible words.

Oh well done, Jac

Another TV sitcom possibility - Day by Day - NBC, 1988 - 1989: "The show centered around a married couple with successful careers (he as a stockbroker, she as a lawyer) and a teenage son. After the couple had a second child, they decided to quit their jobs and open a day care center in their home. The episodes mixed stories about the day care center with those about the teenager and his friends. Louis-Dreyfus played a materialistic neighbor, while Thorne-Smith played the baby's nanny."

Hi seain. How's Tom doing today?

9:46 pm

alright, though his brother annoyed him today. LOL Bro called to ask of car was working, and why he wasn't at his parents - apparently bro is visiting.
9:46 pm
dcseain
i'd offered to take him there today, but he's not been up for dealing.
9:46 pm
Nef
My grandson has been here tonight. Poor little tyke isn't feeling well; has colic. Wore his Grandma out (wanted me to hold him and be up walking the past 5 hours!)
9:47 pm
Nef
hi lbd. more cold weather heading our way I hear?
9:47 pm
dcseain
oh, my. glad that you survived
9:48 pm
jmcnrick
well at least it is good exercise nef
9:48 pm

poor gramma nef. cold and colder. suppose to warm up by friday tho.
9:49 pm
herinfernallady
Nef. Have you tryed swaddling the bub and belly massage and lavender scented bath ? You can get this Johnston and Johnston stuff now
9:50 pm
Nef
I survived, my foot isn't happy though. I can't be up on my foot for that long. I ended up kneeling on a rolling chair with my left leg while pacing in the kitchen and dining room
9:50 pm
jmcnrick
poor nef
9:51 pm
lbdawger
not much you can do about colic. patience and in your case rolling furniture
9:51 pm
Nef
it's okay. The little kid is sick, not me.
9:51 pm
Nef
I'm just -creative?
9:52 pm
jmcnrick
very creative -- the rolling chair was clever
9:52 pm
herinfernallady
Poor Nef. oh and my friend says Baby Einstein soothes the savage beast too.
9:53 pm
Nef
I guess they tried some different formula on him today. He's being weaned off the breast milk so mom can take psychotropic drugs
9:53 pm
jmcnrick
that would be good if she needs them
9:54 pm
herinfernallady
Um with Formulas it may be a case of hit and miss. Some times babies can't handle ''milk '' and need soy stuff. Its hard as they can't say YUKKY this hurts my tummy
9:54 pm
o-o
Get more snow, lbd?
