good night all.. have fun..thanks again BR.. I can rest in peace..

1:52 am

o-o

be well

1:52 am

dart001

cable...they never tell you when they are working on it...asked one time if they could send an e-mail out for the planned outages...they said it would be to hard to do...but i get at least 2 a month from them trying to sell me their internet phone service...go figure

1:53 am

dart001

too hard to

1:53 am

Just1Mar

a friend of mine has cable telephone...he can't wait for his contract to be up to switch back

1:54 am

dart001

between the mailing/callings and emails we get from them for the other stuff

1:56 am

Just1Mar

maybe they don't even know when it'll be down...wouldn't be surprised

1:58 am

dart001

for the unplanned ones i can see....last year went down two nights in a row...at the exact same time...10 minutes after the flip....hard to imagine two unplanned outages happening at the same moment two nights in a row

2:01 am

rbud

I have cable, too, can't get used to the phone not working when it's down, it was always a given that our phone worked even when the power was out.

2:02 am

Just1Mar

I have dsl and bell phone

2:03 am

rbud

down at my little library there are 4 pc's on satellite internet, I sneaked down there at midnight during the last cable outage to Babble, haha!

2:04 am

Just1Mar

lol rbud...lucky that's available to you

2:04 am

rbud

yep, I'm the only one working there, I have the keys.

lynxxx

Midnight! that's devotion. Hello all

2:04 am

Just1Mar

hi lynxx

2:05 am

rbud

hi, lynxxx - that's when the grid changes here, I'm on grid time.

2:05 am

o-o

the last time I had a service outage, I asked the SP why I should have any faith in the crack team working to restore service when that crack team could not maintain the service in the first place.

2:05 am

dart001

lol BR

2:06 am

Just1Mar

oh you're lucky there too rbud...wish it was an earlier start time here

2:06 am

dart001

2:07 am

Just1Mar

ooo rbud for some reason I thought you were on the west coast....but I see midwest

2:07 am

dart001

with a 350 word puzzle..after getting home from the bar lol

2:07 am

rbud

Our cable goes out a lot, like when the town guys mow the lot next door, they hit the box all the time.

2:08 am

Just1Mar

that sucks....before my son got married he had cable for his computer and I had dsl...although his was slightly faster mine was much more reliable

2:08 am

rbud

and once I drove down the block to find the neighborhood kids had taken the cover off the box, had it in the street using it for skateboard tricks, lol!

2:09 am

But I'm serious, jmc! Grape jam is the we5 I believe you seek! =)

11:35 am

jmcnrick

ooo that was a clue? I thought is was a self identification

11:35 am

jmcnrick

ty ty

11:36 am

Wolvie

hey - got an 8 all on my own - an le. cool beans

11:36 am

Vicuna

I'll assume you mean "from Wales" was a self-identification, not "grape jam." If anything, I'd be apricot.

11:37 am

FMitch

Hey Vi!!!!

11:37 am

Wolvie

hi Vic

11:37 am

Vicuna

FM!!!! Wassup?

*beams around while frantically trying to make up for lost word-finsing time*

11:38 am

Sally-catlover

Hobbit drinks coffee?

11:38 am

Vicuna

Aww, man. Lucky you! How'd the plummet go?

11:38 am

Wolvie

ata's animal would. ;-0

11:38 am

FMitch

LOL

11:39 am

Vicuna

Ata's animal would drink tea, I think.

11:39 am

jmcnrick

but I know what it is to renege on a bet

11:39 am

jmcnrick

sorry got stopped by the silly hotline

11:39 am

Wolvie

true - but it would be worldly enough to do coffee with guests I think

11:39 am

FMitch

The plummet went v well Ata Liz and friend raised Â£3000 and there were many more jumpers that day too.

11:40 am

Wolvie

the few pics i saw on fb looked great

11:40 am

jmcnrick

that is good news FM

11:40 am

Vicuna

And Liz survived. Phew!

11:40 am

jmcnrick

I think I am a pecan -- a somewhat sophisticated and very southern nut

11:40 am

sciencegeek

lol jmc

11:40 am

FMitch

They all did great, Ata loved the freefall, Liz was terrified but kudos all of them.

11:41 am

jmcnrick

So did the dogs jump too? I never understood that part.

11:41 am

jmcnrick

hey science

11:41 am

jmcnrick

nice earrings btw

11:41 am

Vicuna

lol, jmc. I thought we were limited to jam. If we can be any fruit, vegetable, nut, or grain I'll have to think about it some more. ;)

11:41 am

FMitch

ROFL, no - but that would indeed be a sight to see jmc, throw in a few cats and the old adage would be realised.

11:42 am

Vicuna

lol, FM

11:42 am

Wolvie

;-0

11:42 am

jmcnrick

I bet you could make a pecan jam

11:42 am

jmcnrick

I make jalapeno jam

11:43 am

Vicuna

Maybe if you give it a sax and a drum set, jmc.

11:43 am

Wolvie

hmmm. syrup yes. so hey - why not?

11:43 am

jmcnrick

Wolvie

oh major groan vic. lol

11:43 am

(raining cats and dogs)

11:43 am

FMitch

"It's raining cats and dogs"

11:43 am

jmcnrick

damn vic stop making laugh out loud!

11:44 am

jmcnrick

lol but you wouldn't need me for that! I would refuse to jump anyway. I am terrified of heights.

11:44 am

jmcnrick

I need more sleep I am not keeping up with the pace today!

11:45 am

sciencegeek

jalapeno jam and jelly - yum!

11:45 am

12:41 pm

crosshair

so,even though babble was down,i could of just typed in licketys babble clues into my browser??

12:42 pm

Anniebrook

FM..But the babble site would not open so how would I have gotten to the clues

12:42 pm

Wolvie

i guess so crossy

12:42 pm

FMitch

#cos Lickety had run his program before babble site went down so the grid was sitting on licketys site and you can enter words there and see whats what - the only prob then is when Babble comes back up you have to manually type the words into babble if you don't use 'expert'.

12:42 pm

Sally-catlover

Annie, when the site first froze you could get to lickety. After that I could the "could not connect message", but I keep lickety bookmarked anyway.

12:43 pm

crosshair

mm live and learn...

12:45 pm

FMitch

Mind you tis so rare that the babble site goes down especially for as long as it did today.

12:45 pm

Sally-catlover

12:53 pm

Anniebrook

12:53 pm

Sally-catlover

Well, I bet it's the fastest you've ever entered words into Babble, Inge!

12:54 pm

flosey

good for you inge - you deserve double fireworks for your effort

12:54 pm

inge

I wish thee had been a way to find out tht the web page was not up from Dr. God's end. I emailed himn twice to get a yes or no. I suppose everybody else asked the same question

12:56 pm

inge

Or am I the only one who does not trust her computer to be perfect?

12:57 pm

Sally-catlover

I agree Inge. I wish there was a central point where he could post a quick message. I evntually put a message on facbook, and aaw something on Babanon but that was after many hours.

12:57 pm

Sally-catlover

sorry *facebook* and *saw*

12:57 pm

FMitch

I always work on the premise that if babble and sudoku are not responding but all other sites and email are working then it must be a prob at Dr_G's end inge.

12:57 pm

inge

was BAbanon up?

12:57 pm

flosey

having trouble with the gr words, any clues please?

12:58 pm

I will follow tht advice enxt time, FMitch

Yes, Babanon was up (not connected, is it) but I couldn't originally post. Then I went and registered.

12:59 pm

Sally-catlover

1:28 pm

Scrabbler

I have to leave soo to spend th afternoon & evening with Mary's kids. mary died 1 yr ago tonight. Sad day.

1:29 pm

sciencegeek

sorry scrabs that is sad.

1:29 pm

sciencegeek

Who is Mary?

1:30 pm

Anniebrook

scrabbs, so very sad. how are the children doing?

1:30 pm

Scrabbler

Too sad to grasp. My friend was diagnosed with brain cancer 2 yrs ago. She became ill in 3rd trimester, was induced at 37 wks, diagnosed 2 days after delivery, and died 6 days after baby's first birthday. Kids are now 9, 5 and 24 mo.

1:31 pm

sciencegeek

Oh my gosh. Is her husband okay? I cannot imagine that, even though you know my loss story

1:31 pm

Scrabbler

The kids seem fine, with occ comments about Mom, but they will have to process so much as they develop and have more questions about their Mom.

1:31 pm

sciencegeek

Of course.

1:31 pm

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, SG, I do not know your story

1:32 pm

jmcnrick

back

1:32 pm

sciencegeek

lost my son - drowned when he was 12

1:32 pm

jmcnrick

death anniversaries are hard

1:32 pm

sciencegeek

that was 9 years ago

1:32 pm

Scrabbler

Hi JM

1:32 pm

jmcnrick

oo science I did not know that!

1:32 pm

sciencegeek

they are a reminder of how much we loved those people!

1:32 pm

sciencegeek

i thought you two knew this from some other random chog

1:33 pm

Anniebrook

science, so sorry to hear about your son

1:33 pm

jmcnrick

it is 16 years this friday since my husband died and 27 years this friday since we met

1:33 pm

Scrabbler

((SG)) OMG---so tragic. I am so sorry. Such suffering for you and your family.

1:33 pm

Scrabbler

My nephew is 21, SG, so your son was born in 1988 too?

1:33 pm

sciencegeek

yes on June 23

1:33 pm

jmcnrick

I saw a friend 3 years ago who hadn't heard that my husband had died and I assumed that she knew.

1:34 pm

sciencegeek

well, i did not know that! sorry to you also :(

1:34 pm

Scrabbler

JM, you have been a widow for a long time, yet I bet his illness and death seem so fresh

1:34 pm

jmcnrick

{{{{{{science}}}}}}

1:34 pm

o-o

Yes, Scrabbler, a day of remembrance ... but more than a sad day ... it is a day of caring ... one you have embraced for Mary and her children .. a day of renewal of your commitment ... although there is sadness .... there is more ... and Mary's children are the beneficiaries of the "more" you are a huge part of, Scrabbler

1:34 pm

sciencegeek

3 years is not long

1:34 pm

jmcnrick

some days I forget; other days it seems like yesterday

1:34 pm

sciencegeek

Thanks, BR, you are the best! Hugs to you for the great perspective

1:34 pm

jmcnrick

no my husband died 16 years ago science

1:35 pm

jmcnrick

it is so sweet of you to help scrabs

1:35 pm

sciencegeek

still is not a long time for our friend, grief

1:35 pm

jmcnrick

people often forget anniversaries of people that they were not super close to

1:36 pm

Scrabbler

TY, BR. I promised Mary that I would love & guide her kids. Your words are kind, BR. Having a weekly playdate + dinner with the kids both helps me + them.

1:36 pm

jmcnrick

no science -- there will always be something missing and October will always be a hard month for me I suspect

1:36 pm

sciencegeek

understood

1:37 pm

Scrabbler

Do either of you get "messages" or clues of your son's/husband's presence?

1:37 pm

jmcnrick

hugging in the ether is singularly unsatisfying

1:37 pm

jmcnrick

the year or so after he died a bit. Not so much now a days.

1:38 pm

jmcnrick

I was in meeting for worship when a woman who was not a close friend stood and said that Rick had asked her to tell the Meeting that he was okay

1:39 pm

jmcnrick

she said she had asked him in her heart why are you asking me to tell them and he said -- because you will do it.

1:39 pm

jmcnrick

I shook like leaf for 45 minutes -- one of the young Friends came and sat next to me and held me

1:40 pm

sciencegeek

i dream of Luca periodically. He always knows that he is "dead" and is simply visiting. I never want to wake up. He is always 12 and healthy!

1:40 pm

jmcnrick

many years later when the woman was in a nursing home she would tell all her visitors about that Meeting

1:40 pm

Scrabbler

Grief sure is tough--wondering why, trying to reconcile it, wondering about a "plan", are they OK and at peace...

1:40 pm

Scrabbler

TY both for sharing

1:42 pm

sciencegeek

I went to a pyschic once for "funb." He sensed that something was going to happen to Luca. It did about 6 years after

1:42 pm

Scrabbler

Spooky

1:42 pm

sciencegeek

JMC did the woman know Rick???? or you????

1:43 pm

sciencegeek

Yes, I often want to call that psychic and tell him what happened to Luca.

1:43 pm

nrkii

hi all

1:43 pm

jmcnrick

she knew us as we were members of the Meeting and Quaker Meetings are fairly small churches

1:43 pm

sciencegeek

hey nrki

1:44 pm

jmcnrick

but she was not a particular friend just some one who went to the same Meeting

1:44 pm

jmcnrick

hi nrkii

1:44 pm

nrkii

Sorry such a tough day Scrabs... I'm sure Mary is so happy you keep her in your heart and you keep close to her children

1:44 pm

sciencegeek

Interesting. I wish I could have a conversation with Luca and I am sure you feel the same way

1:44 pm

Scrabbler

Hi N! I am leaving for NJ in the morning. I am having separation anxiety over my bunnies, but my nephew will care for them

1:44 pm

jmcnrick

So I thought of you today at the gym scrabs

1:44 pm

nrkii

where will you be in NJ?

1:44 pm

Scrabbler

I feel sad--Mary should be with her kids, not me, not a nanny

1:44 pm

sciencegeek

LOL - jmc - think of me at the gym since I have not been in ages!

1:45 pm

jmcnrick

a trainer was telling how a friend's little girl's pierce erring was infected and the trainer took the earring out and put ice on it

1:45 pm

Scrabbler

Anyone ever read Brian Weiss' "Many Lives, Many Masters?"

1:45 pm

nrkii

I'm a "reason for everything" kind of person, so while I don't mean to say Mary died for a reason, I think the kids DO need you and you're adding something to their lives that will serve such a great purpose down the line

1:45 pm

jmcnrick

the friend had been so freaked out she was going to take the girl to the emergency room!

1:45 pm

sciencegeek

no what is it?

1:46 pm

jmcnrick

nope never read it

1:46 pm

Scrabbler

Ouch, jm

1:46 pm

sciencegeek

just take out the earrings and use some neosporin

1:46 pm

sciencegeek

and peroxide

1:46 pm

jmcnrick

Ouch, yes, but emergency room!?!?!?

1:46 pm

Scrabbler

Interesting book, I have read it many times, about past lives, our purpose here, as revealed through a psychiatrist's work doing regression hypnotherapy.

1:46 pm

nrkii

peroxide + neosporin is my answer for many things

1:47 pm

jmcnrick

I am fond of peroxide

1:47 pm

sciencegeek

i also like benedryl creme

1:47 pm

jmcnrick

I use it to rinse my teeth

1:47 pm

sciencegeek

i am not sure that i believe in past lives

1:47 pm

jmcnrick

*shows gleaming white teeth*

1:47 pm

Scrabbler

No need for the ER, but people get irrational, and people don't understand what is a real emergency. Also, one should avoid being an ER patient unless it is an emergency

1:47 pm

sciencegeek

life's necessities: duct tape, peroxide, neosporin, benedryl

1:48 pm

nrkii

I have all of those! I'm all set!

1:48 pm

nrkii

I've got 16 left... is there a lickety list today?

1:48 pm

jmcnrick

I kept thinking -- How could the mother have pierced ears and never have them get infected? If so, why was she so freaked out?

1:48 pm

Scrabbler

SG, it is a fascinating book that "makes sense" for me. Also, Melvin Morse's books on near-death experiences for kids--Closer to the Light.

1:48 pm

jmcnrick

142 left

1:48 pm

sciencegeek

yes

1:49 pm

jmcnrick

you forgot gorilla glue

1:49 pm

nrkii

cool... want to get one more L from bottom right before I list

1:49 pm

Scrabbler

Who knows what is true/real and what happens when we die? Mysterious.

1:50 pm

sciencegeek

it is - we are all a plethora of photons

1:50 pm

Scrabbler

And I must leave to play with Mary's kids now. I shall return tonight. JM + SG, ty for sharing.

1:51 pm

sciencegeek

Enjoy your time with the wee ones. Hugs!

1:51 pm

enjoy the kids, Scrab, and safe travels tomorrow

After the division of the Standard Oil Trust into different 'Baby Standards' in 1991, its European activities were carried on by Jersey Standard. This company originally operated under the name of Standard APC (American Petroleum Company), but from 1929 it sold oil products under the trade name of Esso, which is derived from the abbreviation of Standard Oil (S.O.).

2:58 pm

o-o

Now it is ExxonMobil

3:00 pm

lynxxx

Saw an interesting doco on the Exon spill the other day,. Wow, that community is stil suffering and doesn't look like it will recover. What a nightmare

3:00 pm

jmcnrick

it was not used much in Texas. Standard oil was barred from oil well drilling in Texas because it got caught slant well drilling (stealing oil from under some one else property) So it bought out a local oil named Humble and that was the gas stations in Texas until Exxon was coined. I used to go to the company picknicks with my daddy

3:00 pm

torgone

And they still haven't paid a penny ..

3:01 pm

bunnyvicious

I was thinking Exon, I can see how it evolved into that.

3:01 pm

jmcnrick

Your note doesn't mention Enjay either BR--another branch.

3:01 pm

lynxxx

And Exxon has got appealed the fines so often they are hugely reduced so no real compensation for those effected

3:01 pm

jmcnrick

the name Exxon was found from a huge search to assure that it didn't spell anything in any language

3:02 pm

lynxxx

picknicks? is that how it is spelled in the States

3:02 pm

jmcnrick

I can't spell lynxx I think it is actually picnics

3:02 pm

but I was typing fast not looking

3:03 pm

Yes, soodlebum, I'm pondering the beginnings with s.

I have a bit of time before picking up the younger Stidkid after school.

Are you keeping Ireland as pretty as when we were there?

4:23 pm

Soodle

Glad you enjoyed your holliers!!

4:23 pm

Yes, Stid! I am personally keeping the place pristine - awaiting your return!!

4:24 pm

4:24 pm

stidgmere

We are very much advocates for Ireland as a result of our travels. I really have never seen children as beautiful as the Irish babes.

4:27 pm

redturtlehead

stid, was it very easy to get around?

4:28 pm

stidgmere

We went with a tour and the bus driver was excellent. The towns of western Ireland are walkable and delightful to stroll in.

4:29 pm

redturtlehead

How was the tour? I have been thinking about taking my Mom, but she would probably not do well with the tour option, as all she really wants to do is take photographs on her own schedule!

4:29 pm

stidgmere

We also walked to the Giants' Causeway and up to Dunaran ? on Inishmor. The walkways are not always smooth but after thousands of years there can be divits.

4:29 pm

redturtlehead

And now, Stidg, I am officially Jealous, I think Giants causeway looks amazing.

4:30 pm

10 to go not sure if I like this grid or not it doed not talk to you very well, lol

4:30 pm

thats all those octagon stone formations in the water?

4:30 pm

stidgmere

We met one lady who just went to Dublin and then took day tours on small vans to nearby beautiful areas. That would be a really good, manageable way to take a delightful Irish vacation.

4:30 pm

Soodle

You were very lucky with the weather when you were here, Stid

4:30 pm

stidgmere

Yes, and some aren't octagon. I always thought they were pentagons but there are about five different crystal shapes.

Why on earth would they do that, judi?

6:24 pm

DR1965

What I am saying is it might be the Babble stie and not work

6:25 pm

Judi

Hmmm. I might have to try that. I work from a desktop puter at work (and at home for that matter). However, I do believe I could plug in an air card and tap into a local wave.

6:25 pm

LuvWordGames

The Babble site itself was down for a bit this morning, maybe you tried at that time

6:26 pm

rosalie4

For what it's worth, I couldn't get Babble for the first half of the morning and then all of a sudden it was working again.

Judi

Really, rosalie? I didn't know that. I never tried in the afternoon. **Hope springs eternal**

MaMaWA

They are very young to attach a date /day with the loss

7:53 pm

Scrabbler

As they did on her birthday and then Mother's Day, the kids sent balloons to Mommy in heaven. It was so symbolic and touching to take part in that. I sent a balloon off too, then her husband tied 3 balloons on to the "memory tree" out front--it was planted for her in the early summer.

7:54 pm

Scrabbler

My friend died 1 yr ago tonight and left behind a young husband and 3 young kids--at that time they were 8, 4 and 12 mo.

MaMa--get this, I brought 3 tiles outside and filed them against a rough rock--I took the caveman approach rather than buy a $50 tool set that I may never use again. But the Dremel set sounds cool--maybe a Christmas gift.

Well, I was wondering about shutting up too as I feel as though I am keeping the noise level reasonable tonight

Thanks for thinking of me as a young girl, Crossy. However, I believe "SHUT UP" as a general exclamation was coined by Elaine in a Seinfeld episode (accompanied by a two handed shove).
