Good morning Scrabbs. How was your trip?

5:40 am

Scrabbler

It was fun--many laughs and great Scrabble games, both with my sister and the Babble gals.

5:40 am

Jacula

Glad you enjoyed it.

5:42 am

Jacula

I hope you took lots of photos?

5:42 am

Scrabbler

nrkii has them on her FB page

5:42 am

FMitch

Morning Scrapbs and Jacs
I saw some pics of the meet in Dorens profile (Ithink it was). So great to put faces to names!

5:42 am

NonoNanette

good morning babblers :)

5:43 am

Jacula

Not sure if she's on my FB list, Scrabbs. What's her name there?

5:43 am

Scrabbler

Hi FM & Nono. Do I look anything like you thought?

5:43 am

Jacula

Morning FM and Nono.

5:44 am

NonoNanette

not at all the way I pictured you Scrabs

5:44 am

FMitch

LOL no
Hi Nono

5:44 am

Scrabbler

Pudgy little lass, aren't I?

5:44 am

NonoNanette

i wouldn't say that

5:45 am

FMitch

I imagined you as fair haired for some reason

5:45 am

Scrabbler

Really? Interesting, FM.

5:45 am

NonoNanette

yes so did I

5:45 am

FMitch

the one thing I did get right was glasses though :)

5:45 am

Scrabbler

It's fascinating how we imagine someone before we meet them.

5:46 am

NonoNanette

not real blond but sort of a dark
ash blond

5:46 am

Scrabbler

Ah, yes, Dr Four Eyes here, since age 13.

5:46 am

FMitch

yes Nono exactly

5:46 am

Jacula

I didn't think you were blonde. Always thought you'd look a bit like Stid. I'll know when I get to see the pics. LOL

5:46 am

FMitch

i i i i here too :)

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Nope, dark brown, although I could bleach my hair for you just to take some photos.

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Haha, FM

5:47 am

NonoNanette

nrkii has them in her flicker pics on profile here

5:47 am

FMitch

:)

5:47 am

Scrabbler

I am cousins with Stid's husband and I look just like my father who is the older bro of his dad.

5:47 am

Jacula

Unfortunately, nrkii's not on line right now.:(

5:48 am

Jacula

Neither is Dorens.

5:48 am

NonoNanette

find her name in the rankings list jac

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Check their FB pages

5:49 am

5:53 am

Scrabbler

It is supposed to be funny, I guess. We do have to really get to know the grid in order to find the words

5:53 am

FMitch

weather crappy with you then jacq?
Its mild today and not raining - yay!

5:53 am

jacq

it's wild and windy and wet here, and bloomin cold

5:55 am

FMitch

urgh, we had that a couple of days ago. Can tell the autumn is here my face needs twice as much moisturiser as usual.

5:56 am

FMitch

or maybe that is an age thing ;)

5:56 am

jacq

it feels more like winter here, the wind is biting

5:56 am

Jacula

Ditto re the moisturiser, FM.

5:56 am

jacq

no our skin needs more moisturisers in colder windy weather

5:56 am

Jacula

More lip balm needed, too.

5:56 am

Jacula

...and hand cream.

5:57 am

FMitch

God I clap on Nivea about 4 times a day on my lips.
LOL yes re hand cram too.

5:57 am

FMitch

*cream even

5:58 am

FMitch

bloody Look up bloody at Dictionary.com
O.E. blodig, adj. from blod (see blood). It has been a British intens. swear word since at least 1676. Weekley relates it to the purely intensive use of the cognate Du. bloed, Ger. blut). But perhaps connected with bloods in the slang sense of "rowdy young aristocrats" (see blood) via expressions such as bloody drunk "as drunk as a blood.

6:00 am

FMitch

Ack I can't type (as usual)

6:00 am

hello BR lol

6:00 am

FMitch

Well, thank you and hello BR!

6:00 am

6:00 am

and now I find out bloomen is a euphemism for bloody

6:01 am

jacq

LOL

6:01 am

o-o

Hello

6:01 am

Jacula

Usually 'blooming/bloomin'/blummin' here in UK, BR.:-)

6:01 am

I got my mouth washed out with soap and water for saying bloody - a long long long time ago. lol

6:02 am

jacq

oh yuck

6:02 am

Also 'ruddy', BR. As in what's that ruddy woman doing now?

6:03 am

Hi BR.

6:03 am

o-o

Hello

6:04 am

FMitch

and ruddy also means a red hue (face or otherwise), ain't words grand!

6:05 am

Jacula

Yep, FM.

6:06 am

o-o

Long ago, my parents had a tile floor installed in the kitchen ... the contractor said the floor could be cleaned with a damp cloth ... Mom told me to clean the floor. "Where's the damn cloth," I said. Not long later I was spitting bubbles.

6:07 am

lynxxx

I'm not the only one then

6:07 am

FMitch

Oh how funny! but not for you at the time I guess.

6:08 am

Jacula

I got a smack round the ear for swearing. The soapy mouthwash I got was for biting my fingernails. (It worked!)

6:08 am

Jacula

BR - oh dear! They should have washed your ears not your mouth.

6:09 am

o-o

I laugh now too. At the time I kept on saying that is what the guy said!

6:10 am

Jacula

Kids often get words wrong because they can only relate to what they know. So, I guess you'd heard 'damn' before and not 'damp'.

6:12 am

Jacula

When the grid gets challenging, our noses seem to be in it more, don't they?

6:41 am

much more satisfying, makes up for them being on the small side

6:44 am

Merk

I need a very, very small one tomorrow or I won't be here. I'm driving to Michigan in one day ... 850 plus miles.

loooool Haz and Vic Wood did the trick thanks so much!!

sorry - new to the game - can someone please explain to me how the tile and word stats work - thanks

7:46 am

sorry still alughing at the clip

7:46 am

Haz1558

Hello hendrik - welcome to babble. The object of the game is to get as many words as possible from the grid. Letters have to touch, be used only once in any word (4 letters or more) and can be used in any direction.

7:47 am

Haz1558

It never fails with me, FM, she's just funny.

7:47 am

crosshair

sounds simpe eh? lol.and be warned it is a tad addicting..though ive quit many times myself;)

7:47 am

jmcnrick

hi hendrik you will find the help section above very helpful too!

7:47 am

hendrik

thanks Haz1558, but do teh stats help me in any way?

7:47 am

Haz1558

The tile stats reflect the grid, so that first e (top left) indicates that there is one word beginning from e coming from that tile.

7:48 am

hendrik

didn't know there was the help section - i appreciate it

7:48 am

Judi

Welcome to the den of addiction, Hendrik,

7:48 am

crosshair

you have been warned! mwahahaha

7:48 am

jmcnrick

the word stats give you clues as to the length of the words you are looking for too

7:48 am

Haz1558

And if you look further, there are 11 w words to find. As you find the words, the tile stats will keep track, when it turns grey, you've found all the words coming from that tile.

7:49 am

hendrik

ahhh - that makes sense. and then as i get words it fills in how many i have of that tile?

7:49 am

Anniebrook

Judi, I had the same and it was as crossy's says.

8:38 am

Judi

Hmm. We'll see. I think I'll ask for a referral to an ear/nose/throat doc.

8:38 am

Anniebrook

Good idea.

8:38 am

crosshair

good plan judi

8:38 am

Judi

Hearing is fine, no pain. I'm sure it is something minor.

8:39 am

crosshair

and its amazing how inner ear issue can affect balance,nausea,headaches etc

8:39 am

mkg

Merk

8:48 am

Merk

I meant to give the meaning of the ha 7. 1st meaning: calm; peaceful; tranquil 2nd. meaning:
rich; wealthy; prosperous

8:49 am

Anniebrook

Merk, thanks!

8:50 am

Anniebrook

I put chocolates in the PB for you.

8:52 am

Atalante

maybe mkg will get it now :P

8:52 am

Haz1558

It's a bit tricky to clue, isn't it?

8:54 am

Merk

Yes, I could not figure out a clue for it.

8:54 am

Anniebrook

just came back from the kitchen and hi Haz

8:54 am

Haz1558

Hello Annie, Merk and everyone.

8:54 am

EvaNadine

hints for the E in the bottom row?

8:55 am

Atalante

hello again!

8:55 am

Haz1558

Rochester's Jane.

8:55 am

Haz1558

Hello Ata!

8:56 am

hego

Hi All. Good clue Haz.

8:56 am

Atalante

should I give you an interesting bog fact for the day?

8:56 am

Haz1558

Hello hego, thanks!

8:56 am

Haz1558

Yes, let's hear it, Ata.

8:56 am

EvaNadine

well, dang. thought id tried that already...
thanks haz!

8:57 am

Anniebrook

yes, please

8:57 am

hego

Is this peat bogs again? Sure , go ahead

8:57 am

Haz1558

No problem, EvaN!

8:57 am

Anniebrook

hello hego

8:57 am

hego

Hi annie

8:58 am

Haz1558

It's going to be a long and interesting fact, judging from the time it's taking her to type it.

8:58 am

Atalante

actually, I think I've run out of interesting things to say about Northern Ireland's peat bogs LOL

8:58 am

Atalante

I was trying desperately to think of something!

8:59 am

Haz1558

You can't do that to us! We're all agog!

8:59 am

Atalante

ok *thinks some more*

8:59 am

Anniebrook

don't get bogged down

8:59 am

hego

Just when I was getting interested. lol

8:59 am

Haz1558

You could tell us anything and we'd know no better than to believe you.

8:59 am

Haz1558

Bog oak, have you anything to say about bog oak?

8:59 am

hego

coral

9:00 am

Anniebrook

>>>>>>off to the PB for you, hego

9:00 am

Atalante

there's only 2% left of the original area in NI thought to have been covered with bog. There

9:00 am

hego

Uh oh. My bad. Got to watch where that cursor is. Sorry.

9:00 am

Atalante

nope, I have absolutely nothing to say about bog oak LOL

9:01 am

Atalante

Bog asphodel, maybe

9:01 am

Haz1558

Quickly, google bog oak and hold forth.

9:02 am

Haz1558

It's a kind of unexpected by-product of the peat bog after the peat has been harvested.

9:02 am

Atalante

the scientific name for bog rosemary is Andromeda

9:03 am

Haz1558

The timber has been preserved and is used by sculptors and craftsmen to make rather wonderful pieces. It probably costs a fortune because you can't just buy bog oak off the shelf at B and Q.

9:03 am

Atalante

ohhh - didn't know it had a proper name! cool!

9:03 am

Anniebrook

This all very interesting.

9:04 am

Haz1558

I'm telling you, Annie, you never know what you'll be finding out on babble.

9:04 am

Anniebrook

Haz, As I have found much to my delight and sometimes not.

9:05 am

Haz1558

Yes, it can be a mixed pleasure sometimes.

9:05 am

Anniebrook

*makes a note to google bogs later*

9:06 am

Haz1558

I'm wondering if Ata's being inspired by googling bog oak.

9:07 am

Anniebrook

She hasnt been heard from in some time.

9:07 am

Anniebrook

Ata, did you make the polenta yesterday?

9:07 am

Haz1558

I know. It's worrying, especially as she had to be revived earlier on.

9:08 am

Atalante

no, shes trying to coax Access to open on my poor old laptop!

9:08 am

Anniebrook

*sighs a relieved sigh*

9:08 am

Haz1558

Come on Access - act like your name implies!

9:09 am

Atalante

and yes I did, ended up making some strange mix of polenta, cheese and olives and a tomato sauce. Was rather odd but very nice!

9:10 am

Anniebrook

I am encouraged to try the polenta dish myself. I like the idea of the olives.

9:11 am

Anniebrook

Haz, Have you ever made polenta?

9:11 am

Atalante

It was just a sort of "ok, what do I like? cheese! olives! let's gofor it!"

9:11 am

Haz1558

And did you write down the recipe so you could share it with Annie and eventually send it to Nigella?

9:12 am

Haz1558

Do you think people send recipes to TV cooks saying 'Try this!, it's great!' or do they make them up themselves?

9:12 am

hego

Polenta is one of those "blank canvas" foods. You can put just about anything you like with it.

9:13 am

Haz1558

Annie, I've never made polenta. When you cook in Ireland, if it doesn't have potato in, forget about it.

9:13 am

hego

You Can't go wrong.

9:13 am

Anniebrook

I have a box of polenta taking up space in my pantry.

9:13 am

Haz1558

Okay, I exaggerate a bit. We're getting slightly more adventurous with rice and pasta etc.

9:13 am

Anniebrook

Potato is my VERY favorite food.

9:13 am

hego

The only bad part is the stirring.

9:13 am

Atalante

there was very little "recipe" involved

9:14 am

Haz1558

Potatoes are taken very seriously over here.

9:14 am

Anniebrook

As they should be.

9:14 am

Christa

hello hego... glad to see you here...

9:15 am

Anniebrook

Hi Christa

9:15 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, we even make bread using potatoes.

9:15 am

Haz1558

Hello Christa.

9:15 am

Christa

good morning everyone...

9:15 am

hego

Hi Christa.

9:15 am

Atalante

potato bread is yummy

9:16 am

Anniebrook

Yes, I have a potato bread.

9:16 am

EvaNadine

mmmmm....potato bread....

9:16 am

hego

I'm getteing over my shy now that Judi told me how to get an icon.

9:16 am

Christa

I always love the chatterbox when it is about FOOD!

9:16 am

hego

cort

9:17 am

Christa

Oooooops

9:17 am

hego

whoops did it again. Glad it's nothing.

9:17 am

Atalante

shy really isn't very acceptable here

9:17 am

Haz1558

Use the letters but change them round a bit, hego for a to4.

9:18 am

Atalante

I keep seeing chalcedony in the grid

9:18 am

Haz1558

I don't know. I think shy has its charms.

9:19 am

beachboggle

Hi fellow Babblers!

9:19 am

Haz1558

Hello beach!

9:19 am

Atalante

but a whole room of shy ppl doesn't led to much intensive and stimulating ch4 logs

9:19 am

hego

Had that ,Haz. Thanks

9:20 am

Anniebrook

hello beach

9:20 am

hego

Speaking of bread why do I keep longing for challah today?

9:20 am

Haz1558

This is true, but you need a balance between those who talk a lot and those who talk not at all. And I think shy is okay for people when they've just started and don't really know what's happening and who's who.

9:21 am

Atalante

well yes ... I was exaggerating somewhat ... :P

9:21 am

Atalante

new photo blog:
http://www.marquista.com/wblog/

9:21 am

Christa

I have been here since 2005 and still don't know who's who... but I do love the recipes and book recommendations ;)

9:21 am

Haz1558

That's not like you, Ata. I've never, ever known you to exaggerate.

9:22 am

Atalante

never ever ever!!!!!1111!!

9:22 am

Haz1558

Christa, you need to get yourself a little card index file with people's names and things on. You can fill it in every night and that way you can keep track.

9:22 am

Atalante

like Haz does

9:23 am

Haz1558

Yes, but I only fill mine in every other day.

9:23 am

Atalante

how very lax

9:23 am

Haz1558

No, it's me training my brain to retain information.

9:24 am

Haz1558

(You don't think they believe me, do you?)

9:24 am

Atalante

so every other day we have to be good in the log ... hmmm ...

9:24 am

Atalante

we believe your every word

9:24 am

Christa

I like the pictures of skydiving on the blog ...ty

9:24 am

Haz1558

Ah, but you see, I can always check the log archives to make sure I haven't missed anything.

9:25 am

Haz1558

I liked the pictures and the writing and I liked the pictures of the dogs as well.

9:25 am

Haz1558

It was fitting that they were there to inspire you all.

9:26 am

Atalante

yes, it was *lovely* to have the dogs all there. Even Hobbit was there

9:27 am

rururocks

good morning ladies....

9:27 am

Haz1558

I'm so distractable today. I was on my way upstairs and got diverted by the chat.

9:27 am

Haz1558

Hello ruru, how are you?

9:28 am

Anniebrook

Haz! >>>>>>>>to the PB!

9:28 am

rururocks

Anniebrook

Hi ruru

9:28 am

hego

Hello ruru

9:28 am

Haz1558

You're very on the ball today, Annie.

9:29 am

Haz1558

ruru's so sleepy, I'm sure he didn't notice.

9:29 am

Atalante

bet he did

9:29 am

Anniebrook

So I am. I will probably do the same.

9:30 am

Haz1558

Did you notice, ruru? (say no!)

9:30 am

rururocks

mm.. not me.. haz is always perfect and never makes mistakes

9:30 am

Haz1558

See!

9:30 am

rururocks

(lol)

9:30 am

Atalante

you've got him well trained!

9:30 am

Anniebrook

ruru is a perfect gentleman.

9:30 am

Atalante

I detect sarcasm font

9:31 am

rururocks

(*charter member of the haz brigade*)

9:31 am

Haz1558

I've always known ruru to be a man of great insight.

9:31 am

Haz1558

Ruru could never use sarcasm font, he always writes in sincerity font.

9:32 am

rururocks

absolutely! me ...? sarcastic? ..never!

9:33 am

Haz1558

Just like me, ruru, I can spell the word but other than that I'm a stranger to sarcasm.

9:33 am

rururocks

this is a tough little grid at the end isn't it

9:33 am

Haz1558

(Written in tongue-in-cheek font!)

9:33 am

Haz1558

It takes a bit of working at, ruru.

9:33 am

rururocks

*** muffles giggles ****

9:33 am

hego

Ithink so ruru. No vowels

9:36 am

Haz1558

Okay, I'm going to force myself to get on with some other things. Be well!

9:36 am

Haz1558

little house on the prairie i mean, think nrkii's profile pic

9:56 am

hego

HUH??

9:57 am

10:00 am

Aloyisius

aw, sorry to hear that geek.. be well soon!

10:00 am

Merk

You got it!

10:01 am

sciencegeek

think i need the list 99 left

10:01 am

hego

anybody know what that word means?

10:02 am

Aloyisius

"a part of the earth's crust" hego

10:02 am

Merk

With the flu you definitely may use the list. That's one of the rules.

10:02 am

sciencegeek

it is a geological term for a part of the earth's crust

10:03 am

hego

What a bright group! I'm impressed.

10:03 am

sciencegeek

i want to be in my bed instead of at work!

10:04 am

sciencegeek

i see eyore

10:04 am

Merk

Yes, I saw him right away.

10:04 am

if you have the flu, you SHOULD be in your bed and not at work.... to avoid spreading it

10:04 am

well, piglet make me sick

10:05 am

Merk

I am loving that -tch

10:05 am

kje

yep, using it a lot too merk

10:05 am

teachers should be among the first to get the vaccination

10:05 am

hego

Have to do some work now. bbl

10:06 am

Aloyisius

bye, hego

10:06 am

kje

first wave is children under 4 and emergency responders

10:06 am

sciencegeek

I know! I see that they want children and health care workers first, but seriously, what about us???

10:06 am

Aloyisius

that makes sense, kje

10:06 am

sciencegeek

Teachers are in the front lines each day

10:07 am

kje

but teachers are not highest risk for death.... the children are

10:07 am

rururocks

not knowing little house on the prarie.. I am stilllost on that second cr 6/21

10:07 am

sciencegeek

and, then you have to put up with the kids who come to school with fevers. that is why i am ailing

10:07 am

kje

first responders always must be first, otherwise, they are all too sick to treat others

10:07 am

sciencegeek

ruru i only have one cr 6 so far

10:07 am

kje

ruru - her name was nell

10:07 am

sciencegeek

agreed, but teachers need some priority as well

10:08 am

kje

science - I am a doc, and I am in the third wave.... that should tell you something

10:08 am

rururocks

I have that cr need the other

10:08 am

sciencegeek

that you all were in the first wave being first responders

10:09 am

kje

I only have 2, ru - sorry

10:09 am

sciencegeek

kje I am in Texas also. Just looked at your profile, I am taking the recipe! YUM

10:09 am

kje

I work in the hospital - the hope is that they will be masked in the ED when they come in - ED is first responder, I am second

10:09 am

sciencegeek

ruru the other rhymes with the waxy colors children use

10:10 am

Erda

cr + **omic energy + opposite of OFF

10:10 am

Aloyisius

I thought the benefit of a mask was to keep your hands away from your mouth.. aren't virus particles too small to be screened by a mask?

10:10 am

kje

no - they make respiratory masks

10:11 am

kje

flu is spread by droplets... so it is droplet precautions

10:11 am

rururocks

oh.. wow. I was using the e instead of the other vowell.. thank you erda and aloy

10:11 am

rururocks

I am making that recipe this weekend for friends kje with no vino in it.

the most likely scenario for a 10 year old is a usual crappy several days of flu symptoms

10:13 am

Merk

please, please ... a th 5,12 clue. I am becoming dense here.

10:14 am

kje

the most likely scenario for EVERYONE (over 99% of people) - is usual couple crappy days of feeling bad

10:14 am

done, so off I go - supposed to be a lovely day and I want to take advantage of it. Nice chatting with you all.. see you next grid.. (-:

11:33 am

stidmama

wow harp, that's pretty late planning!

11:34 am

stidmama

I turned down my last client last week for programming work because though he knew I was going to be in grad school this year he waited this long to request changes to his pages! I am too busy, and advised him to find another person.

11:34 am

stidmama

YAY kje!!!

11:34 am

kje

yep, its triazolam

11:35 am

kje

a benzo... similar to valium... what a funny name... marketing is so annoying

11:35 am

harpjane

sometimes I have to start practicing in the summer, church musicians are sort of like retailers or crafties. They are pretty much all done with Halloween and are looking to Thanksgiving and Christmas now

11:35 am

sciencegeek

cannt see your greek thing

11:35 am

stidmama

triazolam? is that a sedative?

11:35 am

sciencegeek

give me the third letter pls

11:35 am

kje

science - trade name of triazolam, google it

11:35 am

kje

yes, a sedative, anxiolytic

11:36 am

stidmama

ah. I hadn't realized they grabbed such a nice word for a drug.

11:36 am

harpjane

yes it's what that milwaukee killer used to sedate his victims in the 80's

11:36 am

stidmama

milawaukee killer? I guess we didn't hear about that one out here (or I was too wrapped up being adolescent to notice)

11:36 am

drug naming is a huge field ... paxil, antidepressant, from word for peace

11:36 am

viagra - come on!

11:37 am

stidmama

ha. got another 7, a poetry rhythm

11:37 am

stidmama

hadn't made that connection before kje, but it sure fits!

11:37 am

kje

sildenafil just doesn't have the same appeal as viagra

11:37 am

harpjane

you heard about him, i'm sure, i just can't think of his name. i was addicted to court tv during his trial, which was ghastly

11:38 am

stidmama

*grin* I don't think viagra has much appeal, to be honest!

11:38 am

kje

beauty agent restalyne - equivalent to beauty rest... they pay big bucks to see which names appeal

11:39 am

kje

viagra - sounds youthful, vibrant, strong....

11:40 am

11:50 am

sciencegeek

hey phaeton! are you stillin Rock port?

11:51 am

11:51 am

rbud,we had the jap version about 5 years ago(you can tell by the nuber of spots) but our indigenous vesrsion seems to have won out

11:51 am

rbud

11:51 am

sciencegeek

i hate in when they get into the house and fly across the room at night!

11:52 am

I cannot get my shoe off quickly enough

11:53 am

SG...normally we would be, but are going to NC to take care of our daughter and her family

11:53 am

11:54 am

phaeton

SG...she is undergoing chemo for Hodgkins lymphoma...doing well, but needs help with daily chores and with the girls

11:55 am

phaeton

They are brown with spots...not a ladybug at all!

11:55 am

sciencegeek

I am sorry. I thought that was finished.

11:55 am

kje

but must say, still not as creepy as a roach

11:56 am

phaeton

No...she's only had two months of treatment. They are doing a PETscan next week to see what progress has been made, but she says the lymphnodes have shrunk so that is a good sign

11:57 am

kje

good to hear phae

11:57 am

rbud

heck, I thought all the japanese beetles WERE here, lol! Oh, I see they are calling them "Asian lady beetles" in some articles

11:57 am

sciencegeek

Prayers for her!

11:57 am

Those beetles were accidentally let out about 10 years ago. They were studying them to use against the gypsy moth

Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw

Maybe the choco got away from the oholic and thus she has in fact not thrown herself down on the chog.

7:14 pm

stidmama

hey lbd. our weather has been "seasonable" (in local parlance) which means mostly gray, a good bit of drizzle, a few real rainshowers and sunbreaks. the leaves have been spectacular for our area because we haven't had that much rain.

7:15 pm

lbdawger

ugh, hope it all will be okay, jellen. will keep you both in my t's and p's

7:15 pm

stidmama

I understand, I think Jellen. Wish I had anything to say that would help. Except to stay hopeful (which isn't much help).

8:40 pm

8:44 pm

Jacula

Who's rangle?

8:44 pm

Jacula

jmc - another tick in my box for Reasons Not to become Famous.

8:45 pm

KrisE

that's got to be a good list, Jac

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

rangle is the congressman from Harlem in NYC

8:45 pm

Jacula

I've fielded that one in the past and will do again, should the need arise, over writing stuff.

8:46 pm

Jacula

But it's all about Fame these days, isn't it?

8:46 pm

jmcnrick

here is another reason jac-- also saw cong. patrick kennedy who was -- ahem-- a little worse for the wear making rambling comments about having won the DNA lottery

8:46 pm

Jacula

I want none of that. Just give me the money and kudos from myy real friends.

8:46 pm

jmcnrick

many people around the room muttered -- not clear that you won partrick

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

yeah I want the money too to get the work done

8:48 pm

Jacula

We all want the money, but we'd all like quiet recognition for what we do more. But no press etc.

8:49 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm sometimes i would like the glory so that my brilliant ideas would be followed -- ;-)

8:49 pm

Jacula

What's with all the I Want Top be Famous for being a part/getting my boobs out on tv/coming out on tv stuff now?

My Mother, as a child in the 1930s, misunderstood pulbic and pubic. So when she got her sex education, she thought adults sprouted PUBLIC hairs, She spent ages trying to understand that, since none were on show.

Up and down, meliae...Tim's cancer came back, so he had surgery again...

8:58 pm

meliae

ha* (mans name) + the rinse is a **cle on your wash machine_ not off

8:59 pm

meliae

9:03 pm

Jacula

jmc - I'd mutlate him if I thought I could get away with it. It'd castrate him and chop his whatsit off, and his hands. Then, I'd do surgery on his brain to leave him feeling wretched and helpless.

9:03 pm

KrisE

jmc, I hope you get good news about the db soon, too

9:04 pm

jmc - there's no way to leave 'a kiddy fiddler' his sexual things. He won't change and he'll keep on grooming kids.

Jellen

Had to bring in Tim for the last 18...

9:08 pm

KrisE

Jac, when did this terrible thing happen to your stepdaughter? How is she now?

9:08 pm

Jacula

I'm sorry for all that, but it's one thing I feel passionately about. We adults are supposed to be there to nurture and protect children, not abuse them

9:09 pm

Jacula

Kris - about 7 months ago and it's all gradually coming out./

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

ch= like the canadian city qu****

9:09 pm

Carolryberg

thank you, fireworks finally

9:10 pm

KrisE

oh dear, Jac - I'm so sorry.

9:11 pm

KrisE

Yay Carol

9:11 pm

Jacula

My stepdaughter irritates the hell outof me and has done since I met her many years ago, and I never wanted more kids... but I've got her now and I WILL NOT allow any more kids to be violated by the man her mother chose to stay with rather than her daughter. What is wrong with that woman?

9:12 pm

alibabas

how does she irritate you?

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo carol

9:13 pm

Jacula

Sorry! Iknow Ikeep arriving her in the middle of the night and then turning into Mrs, On a Mission, but it's really playing on my mind.

9:13 pm

Jacula

ali - I don't know really, she just does.

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

i can understand the concern jac (that is quaker speak for I understand why you are totally pissed)

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

she's a teenager that is irritating enough

9:14 pm

Jacula

It's not her fault, ali, it's a personality/intelligence thing maybe?

9:15 pm

alibabas

i have the same issue with my adopted daughter, annoyance

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

hi ali

9:15 pm

KrisE

You sound like a proper mama bear, Jac.

9:15 pm

alibabas

hi jm

9:15 pm

Jacula

Teenagers can be very irritating. I've brought up two. (No, not spewed, but did it the hard way, 20+ years)

9:15 pm

Bugsaw

Lots of people who have lived thru that are not clear on personal boundaries and they violate other people's sense of safety by intruding accross that invisible line. It can be very irritating.

9:17 pm

KrisE

I'm fading, folks. Thank you all for the babble and other support. Praying for healing for everyone's loved ones and databases...

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

my son was definitely irritating as a teenager

9:19 pm

alibabas

I need it all..

9:20 pm

Jacula

I need all that, too.

9:20 pm

KrisE

as they say here "so don't we all"...will do. Off to pray/sleep

9:20 pm

alibabas

goodnight!

9:20 pm

jmcnrick

all parents (and step parents) of teenagers need all the prayer they can get

9:20 pm

jmcnrick

9:20 pm

alibabas

amen jm!

9:20 pm

KrisE

gnite all {poof}

9:22 pm

Jacula

If I don't get to grips with this kid I never wanted in the first place but I can't reject because her mother rejected her in favour of a paedo, I might lose the Love of my Life. And that is something I don't want happening.

9:22 pm

Jbear803

thanks to my mother-in-law...Carol :) I have fireworks!!! thanks Carol!

9:23 pm

Jacula

Well done Jbear and well done Carol!

9:23 pm

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

remember you are not her friend, but talk to her honestly

9:24 pm

Jacula

ali - Yes, but I have no probs dealing with my daughter. It's my stepdaughter I have the prob with.

9:24 pm

alibabas

oh..i meant your stepd.

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

okie-doke I am heading to bed

9:25 pm

alibabas

one of the things I had to come to grips with is that i may never feel for her what I feel for my bio kid

9:25 pm

stidmama

hello friends and sweet dreams jmc

9:25 pm

Bugsaw

I need one for fireworks. Can anyone clue the re5 for me please?

9:25 pm

alibabas

night jm hi stid

9:26 pm

alibabas

to make not old again?

9:26 pm

Jacula

According the the social worker, who arrived at my home not long after my daughteer went into hospital with anorexia, it was me talking to her honestly that put her in there! At one time sh agreed. Now, at 22, she sees it another way.

9:27 pm

Lizsark

hello :)

9:27 pm

alibabas

how old is your stepd

9:27 pm

Jacula

I want to love my Step, but fear I never will.

9:27 pm

Jellen

Hi, stid and Liz

9:27 pm

stidmama

LIZ!!!!! *faints dead away* YOU SKYDIVED?!?!?!?!? *faints again*

9:27 pm

Jacula

Hi Stid.

9:27 pm

stidmama

Jac, remember you don't need to love people to treat them with kindness and respect.

9:28 pm

alibabas

you can't make yourself love her. don't try

9:28 pm

Lizsark

LOL Stid :) I certainly did!

9:28 pm

Jacula

ali - she's 14, 15 in December.

9:28 pm

Lizsark

Jellen!

9:28 pm

Minveryork

Hi all who entered while I was trying to get half done!

9:28 pm

alibabas

what you can do is work on being civil

9:28 pm

stidmama

hello Min! welcome to the grid-o-death!

9:28 pm

alibabas

start there

9:28 pm

stidmama

mwa-ha-ha-ha (as stidkid#2 says)

9:28 pm

Lizsark

Hows things Jellen. Still waiting for the results?

9:29 pm

stidmama

so, how are you Liz? I miss seeing you. I hear you survived another trek?

9:29 pm

Jacula

stid - I take on board what you said about kindnes and respect, but how do I overcome the irritation?

9:29 pm

Lizsark

What time is it Stid? Its 3.30am here!

9:29 pm

Jellen

Still waiting...have an appt Nov 10th

9:30 pm

stidmama

don't overcome the irritation. It means something is upsetting your equilibirum. It is a message that means you can choose to ignore, try to fix or look for other alternatives.

9:30 pm

alibabas

ignore the irritation as much as you can. it is an art trust me. my daughter irritates me to no end

9:30 pm

stidmama

it's 7:30 pm here Liz

9:30 pm

Lizsark

Sttid. I miss you too...time zones! Yes, I went to Peru in September.

9:30 pm

Lizsark

Hugs Jellen

9:30 pm

alibabas

and when you can't take it anymore...walk away and go do something good for yourself

9:30 pm

Jacula

ali - As an ex-grammar school girl, I cannot help but be civil.

9:30 pm

Lizsark

7.30 ? A respectable time! I should be in bed!

9:31 pm

alibabas

some kids love irritating....don lte them control you

9:31 pm

stidmama

yes, ali is right. Don't play the martyr! She is old enough that you are allowed to have your own time and space.

9:31 pm

stidmama

LOL Liz! I ought to be studying, but needed a little break.

9:31 pm

stidmama

hope your children are well? Mine are *knock wood* both healthy at the moment!

9:31 pm

Jacula

Nothing your own child can do is as irritating as a child not grown in your own womb can do.

9:31 pm

Lizsark

You cant work all the time stid. not healthy!

9:32 pm

DR1965

I am back

9:32 pm

Jellen

wb, DR

9:32 pm

stidmama

hey again DR!

9:32 pm

Jacula

Both womb-grown are still quite dependant on me, even though one left home a while ago.

9:32 pm

DR1965

thanks Jellen- ate some dinner

9:33 pm

alibabas

it took me 5 year to get to the place I am with my daughter. may it go faster with you.

9:33 pm

Bugsaw

Jac, it is easier if you remember that behind every behaviour there is a reason. If you can help her address the reason it should get better. When nothing else works, just look at the soul inside the kid instead of the behaviour you get.

9:33 pm

stidmama

that is true, liz. but trust me, "all the time" isn't in my working vocabulary!

9:33 pm

DR1965

Hi Stid! glad to read your kids are healthy

9:33 pm

Lizsark

rofl Stid :)

9:33 pm

Minveryork

Hello DR1965!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

9:34 pm

alibabas

some kids are just angry...and that is why they act out...detach from her anger. if you can see it as her problem and not yours it will help you to gain some perspective

9:34 pm

DR1965

Hello Min- I am well but this grid is not very forthcoming with words

9:34 pm

Lizsark

ok this is getting silly. I have to try and get some sleep

9:34 pm

stidmama

well, I think getting down to 68 is good enough for now. I shall return if I have time and energy before the flip. Otherwise, probably be back tomorrow at some point (but not in the evening, stidkid has a concert).

9:34 pm

alibabas

night liz

9:34 pm

Lizsark

Jacula - hugs for you too

9:34 pm

Jacula

I din't realy like children even when I was a child. Nopthing prepared me for the love I felt for my own two (and the one I lost). I always knew I wanted kids. I was as only child, and I wanted at least 4 kids.

9:34 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams liz! ((((hugs)))) good to see you again!

9:34 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log

9:35 pm

Lizsark

*waves bye*

9:35 pm

DR1965

gnight Liz and Stid

9:35 pm

Lizsark

you to stid :)

9:35 pm

stidmama

(((hugs everyone))) hang in there, Jac. Eventually they all grow up! *poof*

9:35 pm

Jacula

I got 2 in the end, and the 4th (afterthe lost one) wasn't mine and my new life partners'.

9:35 pm

alibabas

jac...i wonder...excuse me if this is getting too close..do you resent that you have to care for someone else's child when you had to lose one of your own?

9:36 pm

Bugsaw

Ditto what stid said Jac.

9:36 pm

Jacula

But none of that mattera=s, Ineed to be a Mum to her, even though she irriates the hell out of me, ms=ostly be waving the banner of her stupidity at me.

9:38 pm

dan2bit

that banner can be hard to let go of :-)

9:38 pm

Bugsaw

I don't think she is trying to be stupid Jac. It just feels like she is doing what she does to piss you off. You are being a good Mum by providing her a safe place to live, but you are not responsible for her past. It will take her years to heal and your part may just be to offer her a safe haven until she gets around to wanting to heal.

9:39 pm

DR1965

help with the ch6/27 please

9:39 pm

Bugsaw

Blessings to you both. You both will survive somehow.

how about the other ch6?

9:40 pm

Bugsaw

Does anyone have another clue for the re5, please? I still can't find anything

9:40 pm

alibabas

yes...I agree with bug. you are not responsible for the sob's behavior

9:40 pm

Nef

Jac, sorry if I'm butting in here. She may realize that a certain behavior is bothering you, and she may continue to do that behavior to see if you will desert her like others do

9:40 pm

Minveryork

Hello dan2bit! How are you? Didn't see your entrance

9:40 pm

alibabas

re5...what is the other number

9:41 pm

dan2bit

bugs I have victorious again, but still looking for the other re5

9:41 pm

Jacula

Nef and Bug, I realise that.

9:41 pm

alibabas

amen nef...i agree.

9:41 pm

Bugsaw

re5, 18 please

sometimes the only thing you can do is be there....

9:41 pm

help with ch the 2nd please

9:41 pm

Bugsaw

Sorry, that is the same one I need dan2

9:41 pm

Jacula

Even if it's killing me, which it it, I'll continue to be there.

9:42 pm

Minveryork

That other re 5/18 word is re plus not old alibabas.

9:42 pm

Jacula

*us not it for last

9:42 pm

dan2bit

tx minver!

9:42 pm

Nef

Jac, if it's any help; my step mother and I hated each other when I was 15 (she was only 26); we made our peace when I was 22 or 23

9:43 pm

Jacula

And I'll probably also continue to haunt the chog lonmg after I've finished the grid and clued/

9:43 pm

Minveryork

yw

9:43 pm

Bugsaw

Got it now Min. Thanks. I was not starting at the right end

9:44 pm

alibabas

jac....i started out with lots of anger toward my d cuz that is all she could dish out...i learned to get to neutral more days by not allowing her to control me with her acting out. it made a real difference...most days i say...if that is the way you want to live then go for it.. but that is not my way.

9:45 pm

regis

does anyone have a clue for the ch6/33

9:45 pm

DR1965

ch+ qu**** is in Canada

9:45 pm

alibabas

the best thing i can do for her is not to engage but to live my life happily so she can see what that looks like

9:46 pm

regis

thank you i never never would have gotten that

9:46 pm

Jacula

I don't hate her, Nef and I don't think she hates me. She just wants to be loved. I could maybe go there if she didn'y still kreep loving and talking to her real Mumm the woman who has chosen to live with pod scum who sexually assualted her daughter on more than one occasion and then buggered off for 10 days to think aboutt it before deciding she's rather be with tthe padedo than her daughter.

9:46 pm
