3:27 am

grannyrose

* hugs * sprite, how are you, hun?

3:28 am

grannyrose

3:28 am

sprite

not too bad, and I will be home alone this weekend... peace and quiet :)

3:29 am

sprite

wow rose, that is so good!

3:29 am

grannyrose

* whines * can i be with you?

3:29 am

sprite

you? Always!

3:31 am

grannyrose

i'm up for a few hours each morning, with the camboot and a walking stick, only succumbing to the chair about mid-afternoon

3:31 am

sprite

that is a lot of improvement already! You are a true hero, rose.

3:32 am

grannyrose

i can even drive the car now!

3:32 am

Andree

so improving daily?

3:32 am

sprite

oh wow. Freedom at last ;)

3:32 am

grannyrose

awww, thanx sprite.

3:33 am

Andree

sprite has terra got over the biting everything stage and if he has wanna swop?

3:33 am

grannyrose

yes, andree. sometimes slip ' figuratively' back a little, but always the next day is better.

3:33 am

Andree

i had forgotten what a lot of work a new puppy is

3:34 am

grannyrose

lol, andree. so the new little sweetie is at THAT stage, is he?

3:34 am

sprite

lolllll Andree! Swopping never, we are so in love with the little critter. And yes, he wasn't that bad with biting anyway. We made sure he had plenty of allowed biting stuff and we sprayed the danger zones.
But indeed, it WILL pass!

3:35 am

Andree

he sure is rose, ruined my daughters slippers today, i keep telling them not to leave stuff lying about

3:36 am

sprite

hehehe if they will ever learn to put away their stuff, it will be now. It worked for my kids ;)

3:37 am

Andree

he demolished my knitting, could not be saved so i tossed it out

3:38 am

Andree

he is so cute , its hard to be cross with him

3:38 am

sprite

awww that is nasty.

3:38 am

sprite

divert, divert, divert. That is what our breeder recommended, and the trainer too, and it does work. Better than punishment.

3:39 am

grannyrose

oh, well, as sprite says, give him lots of allowable chewing stuff, and your daughters are going to have to get some new slippers, won't they?

3:39 am

sprite

but you know, I think... you have a lot of experience with dogs, I believe?

3:40 am

Andree

yes lots of toys and chewy things, and i have never had a pup who doesn't like to try it all

3:41 am

grannyrose

mind you, this brings to mind, my two darlings, one ate my camphorwood chest, and the other ate my yellow pages phone directory.

3:41 am

sprite

it is cute though, don't you think, that endless curiosity and inventiveness?

3:41 am

sprite

ouch rose, especially the chest!

3:42 am

grannyrose

not nearly so ouch as the day that they dug a hole through to china, via my velvet covered couch.

3:42 am

Andree

its lovely and when we are here on our own its fine as i have everything out of reach, its when daughter and her kids are home that its hard to tell a 3 and 6 year old to keep their toys off the floor, can' really blame the dog

3:42 am

sprite

ohhhhh! *sniggers* Ok, I agree, that is too much. Not cut anymore.

3:43 am

sprite

not *cute

3:43 am

sprite

true, Andree. Then it takes nonstop attention, and that is humanly impossible. They are so fast too!

3:44 am

Andree

one of my dogs chewed the whole corner out of the leather lounge once

3:44 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite, i would give anything to have them back, holes in couch or no.

3:45 am

sprite

oh yes, I bet, rose. They steal your heart and never give it back.

3:46 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah. and i am lining up for it again, as soon as i can convince himself that this is something i really need to do.

3:47 am

sprite

arguments: it will speed up your recovery, it will make you happier, it will make you healthier...

3:47 am

Andree

like i said a lot of work but worth every minute

3:48 am

sprite

that is it, Andree :)

3:48 am

grannyrose

weeellll, if i get his kitten first.....what you think?

3:49 am

sprite

a very good start :D

3:50 am

Andree

i am not sure but maybe dog should come first, dogs are more adaptable to something new in the house than cats

3:50 am

grannyrose

* giggle * thought so. must leave you, my dears. stats are in babanon, for when you get desperate,

3:50 am

sprite

my husband wasn't really in favour of the idea back then, but now he is totally in love with Terra and wouldn't want to miss him for the world.

3:51 am

sprite

bye rose, *hugs* :)

3:51 am

Andree

thx rose and bye

3:52 am

Andree

have you been keeping well sprite, haven't been on much since i got hugo so out of the loop a bit

3:52 am

grannyrose

nite, my friends, take care of yourselves. perhaps see you at the flip

3:52 am

grannyrose

* poof*

3:53 am

sprite

things have been very intense, Andree, to say the least, but I am managing. Better than I had expected even. So there is improvement :)

3:55 am

herinfernallady

Hugs

3:55 am

Andree

glad to hear that sprite

3:55 am

Andree

hi herin

3:56 am

sprite

hi (((((lady))))

3:56 am

sprite

hi (((((lady))))

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Thinking of you all

3:58 am

sprite

icon clue up.

And vice versa, lady.

3:59 am

herinfernallady

I did the most random thing I have done in a long time and the b.f didn't get me at all

3:59 am

sprite

what did you do then?

3:59 am

Andree

what have you been up to herin

4:00 am

herinfernallady

I turned the broom upside down and rode it about and went Neigh like i did as a little kid

4:00 am

sprite

lolllll you silly girl. Lovely.

4:01 am

herinfernallady

I have a thing with Equinox and Beltaine that involves cleaning the front porch and windows hence the brooom

4:01 am

sprite

I think it is great when one can be totally silly at times.

4:02 am

sprite

side note: please stop me from entering syringe? Please?

4:02 am

herinfernallady

I hate starting new seasons with a dirty front porch. It's my way of entering a new time cleanly

4:02 am

herinfernallady

only if you stop me from doing that too Sprite

4:03 am

sprite

very feng shui

4:03 am

sprite

lol lady, it is a deal

4:03 am

Andree

i always keep a broom handy in case my car doesn't start

4:03 am

Haz1558

To hit it with?

4:04 am

sprite

can you ride it without a pointed hat, Andree?

4:04 am

herinfernallady

when we moved into this house the b.f moved the mirror that reflected straight out the door which is apparently not good Feng Shui

4:04 am

sprite

hello Haz

4:04 am

herinfernallady

Andree you are not a witch

4:04 am

herinfernallady

Hi Haz

4:04 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. Andree, all I could think of was Fawlty hitting his car with a branch.

4:07 am

Andree

hi haz, i love fawlty towers, haven't seen that though

4:07 am

Haz1558

PHone...

4:07 am

sprite

phone is a phantom, Haz

4:07 am

sprite

as is phony

4:07 am

Haz1558

Let me find the clip for you, Andree.

4:10 am

Atalante

hi all :) I'll just talk to you he4 spritey LOL

4:10 am

Andree

why is everyone so clever, i could probably find a hair clip in my grandaughters room!!!

4:10 am

Atalante

Hobbit had a proper walk this morning:)

4:11 am

sprite

lol Ata

4:11 am

sprite

Andree, that is more than I could do.

4:11 am

Andree

hi ata, has hobbit now forgotten her awful experience

4:11 am

Haz1558

http://tinyurl.com/yhmqk5d

4:12 am

Andree

thx haz

4:12 am

sprite

all the terra walking will be on me this weekend. And I am actually enjoying it. Slow steps, but halfway Terra can walk free and run. It is great to be walking again.

4:13 am

Atalante

I think so! I kept taking her down stairs and steps today to make sure she wasn't fazed by them

4:13 am

herinfernallady

Oh Sprite. I am sorry you have had a bit of a sucky time.

4:14 am

herinfernallady

HI Ata

4:14 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Ata.

4:14 am

herinfernallady

O and I managed to repair my glasses all on my own (until i had to replace the arm pin)

4:15 am

sprite

he is just brilliant, haz

4:15 am

sprite

thanks lady, but I am certain I am going to win the battle in the end :)

Wtg on the glasses.

4:15 am

Haz1558

That bit never fails to make me laugh. It's how I feel sometimes about computers.

4:16 am

sprite

indeed yes :)

4:16 am

Haz1558

And printers! Printers are the sulky, uncooperative teenagers of the technical world.

4:16 am

Andree

ha ha , that was funny, i feel that way sometimes

4:17 am

sprite

they are. And like with teenagers, one has no clue at all what is keeping them from cooperating.

4:17 am

Haz1558

If you ever get the chance, Andree, watch the whole episode. It's called 'Gourmet Night'.

4:17 am

Haz1558

I know. A wrong button pressed and they just sit there blinking at you.

4:18 am

Andree

last time i put in a new printer, according to instruction you just use the cd and follow prompts, so not true

4:18 am

herinfernallady

If you ever break the arm of your glasses and the Optometrists says you have to buy new ones go to a place that sells those cheap glasses match the arm hinge to your glasses then take off the new arms and replace old ones

4:18 am

sprite

smart lady

4:19 am

Haz1558

The last time I had a meltdown with my printer, I had a mental image of finally conquering it and it printing out a large 'SORRY' to apologise. When it did finally work again, I had no clue as to how I had accomplished it.

4:19 am

Andree

i had my eyes lazered ? spelling about 8 years ago and since then only need the $10 glasses from the chemist to read

4:20 am

sprite

lol Haz, I sympathise fully

4:20 am

Haz1558

The laser eye treatment seems to be miraculous. I've never heard of anyone regretting having it done.

4:21 am

sprite

Sounds good, Andree.

4:21 am

herinfernallady

Those are are the sort I used to monkey a new pair and the funny thing is they fit better than the old arms.

4:21 am

herinfernallady

Haz that is why i get the man of the house to fix electrical things

4:21 am

Andree

i had to phone the help line and they had to email me a link , the whole process took 3 days , a pain when trying to run an office as it also operates the fax, i just pray i don't have to repalce it before i'm dead

4:22 am

Haz1558

Sadly, the man of the house is worse than me when it comes to the computer.

4:22 am

sprite

if I would let my love fix a computer or printer, we would end up with a lot of parts... in a heap... where he dropped the whole thing out of frustration.

4:22 am

Haz1558

My daughter laughed out loud when she heard him shouting to me, 'Hazel, if I hit print, will it print?'

4:22 am

sprite

argh Andree! That is no way to work, indeed.

4:22 am

sprite

hehehe Haz

4:23 am

sprite

I have to say, with printers, it isn't a silly question at all. I mean... to shut of my computer, I must press Start.

4:25 am

Haz1558

This printer of mine doesn't seem to like you changing your mind about printing something. It sits there, refusing to believe that you really don't want to do something. You practically have to threaten it with being scrapped before it will move on.

4:25 am

Andree

i went to a chinese dinner the night i had my lazer done and could not believe i could read the fortune cookie

4:25 am

Atalante

my printer just hates me, full stop

4:26 am

Andree

ata i think printers hate everyone

4:26 am

herinfernallady

My g.f was in tears on the phone as she thought she had broken her very expensive printer as she melted a transfer onto the main wheel. I told her relax we will see if himself can fix it. He fixed it she was so happy

4:26 am

Haz1558

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

4:28 am

Andree

maybe you should hire him out herin

4:28 am

herinfernallady

my printer likes me I am nice to it

4:28 am

Haz1558

It's just biding its time.

4:28 am

herinfernallady

I hope not I can't afford a new one

4:28 am

lynxxx

Mine just says "feed me, feed me" all the time...ridiculous prices on toners too!

4:29 am

herinfernallady

ATA you there

4:29 am

Atalante

yep!

4:29 am

Haz1558

I know, lynxxx. I buy my cartridges from a business supply shop, and even so, the prices are mad.

4:29 am

herinfernallady

Hi Lynxx your telling me. I don't even want to think how much i have spent this year

4:30 am

herinfernallady

Ata guess what himself bought me as part of my birthday gift

4:30 am

Haz1558

I've learned to ignore the signs about low ink levels. It starts flashing up practically as soon as you install a new one.

4:30 am

mom2han8

Just recently replaced my stinking Dell with a Canon MP240... really like it... not an ink whore at all and it seems to work just fine... no glitches.

4:30 am

Atalante

oooo what?

4:30 am

herinfernallady

Torchwood Season 1 complete

4:30 am

mom2han8

And it was like $70!!!... the cartridges are only about $15 a piece and can be replaced one at a time.

4:30 am

Haz1558

(Makes not to avoid stinking Dells and to cosy up to Canons)

4:31 am

Atalante

woooooooooooot!!!

4:31 am

herinfernallady

Mom I have a canon its fairly good

4:31 am

Atalante

Canons are lovely

4:31 am

sprite

cool :)

4:31 am

Haz1558

*note

4:32 am

mom2han8

My old laser was a canon and I loved it.. the drum finally went and I could not afford a color laser so I went with the stinking Dell... never worked right... hated it... ate ink, etc... so I went back to Canon for the second inkjet.

4:32 am

Andree

what i do is take out the cartridge and give it a good shake and it lasts another 3 months then do it again until i can't squeeze another print out of it

4:32 am

lynxxx

TY Mom - made a note on that

4:32 am

herinfernallady

Yes that was ontop of the other things he bought me as I am a spoilt little monkey

4:32 am

mom2han8

I would highly recommend it.

4:33 am

Haz1558

(Making note to shake cartridges. I should do it when I'm feeling cross with the printer anyway)

4:33 am

herinfernallady

Andree i do that too. Don't replace in until its nearly dead

4:33 am

sprite

you can shake the whole printer

4:33 am

mom2han8

Only shake if they are laser and use toner, LOL!

4:33 am

herinfernallady

Tochwood is on yah

4:34 am

Haz1558

So, shaking inkjet cartridges isn't on?

4:34 am

Andree

my daughter taught me that trick haz it really works and you get more than twice the life out of the toner. i pay $100 for a toner so need to make it last

4:34 am

mom2han8

You can try it Haz... but wear protective gear and do it outside, LOL.

4:35 am

Atalante

you can shake them too. just put the cap on first

4:35 am

sprite

for the powder type it works. But if you want to shake inkjets, feel free. It might allow you to spend some frustration energy on cleaning afterwards.

4:35 am

Haz1558

I'll proceed with caution.

4:35 am

mom2han8

Ata... I never knew that... I will try it myself!

4:36 am

Andree

back in a bit

4:36 am

sprite

bfn, Andree!

4:38 am

sprite

fireflies. Have fun all, and see you tomorrow.

4:38 am

and Sphyrna. ok, thats a scientific name for a shark. but it's nearly there

4:47 am

lynxxx

I have 2 sy only

4:47 am

Atalante

me too

4:48 am

Atalante

what does the 9 start with?

4:49 am

lynxxx

don't have a clue, nor the 7

4:49 am

Haz1558

I don't know.

4:49 am

Atalante

sp7

4:49 am

Haz1558

I have the 7.

4:49 am

Haz1558

sp7 - descriptive

4:50 am

Atalante

and shuddery

4:51 am

Atalante

FM's coat was this. LOL.

4:51 am

Haz1558

sp9 - more so.

4:51 am

Atalante

oh you're joking

4:51 am

Haz1558

I jest not.

4:52 am

Atalante

that's silly

4:52 am

Haz1558

I tried it and voila!

4:52 am

Atalante

silly silly silly!

4:53 am

Haz1558

Some of the writing I've encountered in church records in sp9 than others.

4:53 am

Atalante

this is true

4:53 am

Haz1558

*is

4:53 am

lynxxx

I'm sure it is silly and I'll laugh when I find it

4:53 am

Haz1558

Make the sp9 the comparative of sp7.

4:54 am

lynxxx

yes yes I'll do that

4:54 am

lynxxx

when I get the 7!

4:54 am

Atalante

have you got a sp6?

4:55 am

Haz1558

Little Miss Muffet's friend.

4:55 am

lynxxx

oh shoot!

4:56 am

Haz1558

I used to love reciting Miss Muffet with the girls. The older one in particular pronounced sp6 with great venom and then took great delight in 'and fwightened Miss Muffet AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!'

4:56 am

lynxxx

thankyou - too embarrassed to laugh

4:56 am

Haz1558

Your secret is safe with us.

4:57 am

Haz1558

(Do you think she'll believe us, Ata?)

4:57 am

Atalante

absolutely

4:57 am

Haz1558

We have her fooled.

4:58 am

Atalante

totally

4:58 am

lynxxx

I have very fond memories of pushing my son home from the creche singing Old MacDonald..and him yelling Eh I Eh I Oooh at the top of his voice - about 16 months

4:59 am

Atalante

my mother never lets me forget thetime I sat ona bus with her and sang a rhyme I'd made up "you're in luck, a very fine duck" for about an hour and a half constantly

5:00 am

Haz1558

I remember my younger daughter getting increasingly frustrated when I couldn't understand what she meant by 'Sing quitentewwy'. She just got louder, I got more confused, until her sister translated 'She wants to sing, Mary Mary quite contrary'

5:00 am

lynxxx

and yr pronunciation was OK I hope

5:00 am

lynxxx

lol Haz

5:00 am

Haz1558

But honestly, those are lovely, happy memories.

5:02 am

lynxxx

One of my little projects is to split our photos into albums for both kids as well as ourselves. Lovely memories looking back

5:02 am

Haz1558

Apparently some parents don't sing nursery rhymes any more. Humpty Dumpty has been reworded to reflect a happy ending.

5:03 am

Haz1558

Leave out 'couldn't' and everything's hunky-dory with Humpty Dumpty.

5:04 am

lynxxx

I am not sure of there is a new generation of rhymes...some great new stories though

5:05 am

Haz1558

I don't think we necessarily need new rhymes. I loved the Janet and Alan Ahlberg picture stories like the one with the postman delivering the letters.

5:05 am

lynxxx

now who was Humpty Dumpty again? some king?

5:05 am

Haz1558

An egg who couldn't balance on a wall.

5:05 am

Atalante

the Ahlberg stories are lovely

5:06 am

Haz1558

Whether he was modelled on real life, I don't know.

5:06 am

Atalante

and had something to do with soldiers

5:06 am

Atalante

Another theory posits Humpty Dumpty referring to King Richard III of England,[5] Shakespeare's hunchbacked Egg, the "Wall" being either the name of his horse (called "White Surrey" in Shakespeare's play) or a reference to the supporters who deserted him.

5:07 am

Scrabbler

Good morning/day to all. I am in a hotel with one of my sisters. Another sister with her oldest son are next door. Funeral for my 89 yr old aunt is in a few hrs.

5:07 am

Haz1558

There's a version that can be done in French. I only ever remember the first line vaguely. Un petit d'un petit etc. I must google to see if I can get more.

5:09 am

Atalante

hi scrabs!

5:09 am

Haz1558

Un petit, dâ€™un petit,
Câ€™est un evaux,
Un petit dâ€™un petit,
A deux gris fauxâ€¦

5:09 am

lynxxx

Hi Scrabs. A sad day, but nice to be able to be in the company of family

5:10 am

Scrabbler

It's only 6 am and my sister and I have been giggling so much.

5:10 am

Haz1558

Hello Scrabbler.

5:11 am

lynxxx

I kind of remember the Richard 111 reference

5:17 am

Scrabbler

Richard--as Dr Richard Head

5:17 am

Haz1558

You're not allowed to think about him any more.

5:18 am

Atalante

only in scorn and contempt

5:18 am

lynxxx

Its OK Scrabs - he's all gone now. Relax relax

5:18 am

Scrabbler

But the name Richard makes me think of my fond name for my old boss

5:20 am

Haz1558

I'm going to get another load of laundry in, back shortly.

5:22 am

5:52 am

Atalante

5:52 am

zoozzoom

5:52 am

Atalante

5:52 am

lynxxx

hi Zooz

5:52 am

zoozzoom

talking of folding@home, i joined it yesterday..lol

5:53 am

jacq

i have a problem ata, when i put the team details in it accepted them and it's working (running now in fact) but it's not showing babblers as my team, which doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but i would like babblers to get the credit

5:54 am

Atalante

don't know don't ask, ask crossy :D LOL

5:54 am

jacq

lol ok

5:55 am

Haz1558

I'm back, hello again. Glad to see proof of Hobbit's bounciness being restored.

5:55 am

Atalante

I just happened to be there atthe right time, Crossys the expert

5:55 am

lynxxx

and the Ladder of Doom!

5:55 am

LoriP

OMG, a freakin' plural. ***stomps away in disgust***

5:56 am

Haz1558

Get back here, Lori! We need to work on your control issues.

5:56 am

Atalante

she's not perfectly bouncy yet. I took her out for 1/2 an hour and she's exhausted and limping a tiny bit. But I think that's a good outcome!

5:56 am

lynxxx

Congrats Lori! how on earth did you miss that!

5:56 am

Atalante

yes .... definitely Ladder of Doom!

5:57 am

Atalante

knowing Lori, quite easily :P

5:58 am

Haz1558

I'm just wondering if lynxxx is really in any position to talk.

5:58 am

Haz1558

Knowing what Ata and I know.

5:58 am

Atalante

good point ...

5:58 am

jacq

lol

5:58 am

lynxxx

that's a bit below the belt!

5:58 am

LoriP

***shouts from afar that the abuse and mockery must stop!***

5:58 am

Atalante

not that we know anything

5:59 am

Haz1558

Nothing. Until she goes and then we can let rip.

6:00 am

lynxxx

I think I am going to gang up with Lori

6:00 am

Atalante

gang up ON Lori! much better!

6:01 am

LoriP

Seriously, when will I learn? Plurals are poopy.

6:02 am

LoriP

I am even more relieved that I didn't ask for support. ***not that there's much of that here among some...*** :D

6:02 am

jacq

lol

6:02 am

jacq

this seems to be a nasty grid

6:02 am

Haz1558

You know us, Lori. Tough love all the way.

6:02 am

millsbooks

grannyrose has list in bab anon

6:04 am

LoriP

Firm but fair? ***guffaw***

6:04 am

zoozzoom

Thanks Millsbooks.

zoozzoom

6:06 am

lynxxx

very hard to see Zooz, take it from me

6:07 am

jan

I wasted huge amounts of time guessing that it must be a dis word...

6:07 am

LoriP

The 9 is even stoopider than I am. I tried it as a lark, and it took. Awkward, silly word if you ask me. (I know, you didn't ask...)

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Back again after spending time on Facebook.

6:07 am

Christine

zoozzoom ... a creepy-crawly, to the nth degree.

6:07 am

zoozzoom

6:07 am

Haz1558

Hello, jan.

6:07 am

jan

Once you get the sp 7 though...

6:07 am

jan

Hi all...

Atalante

Haz1558

Round of applause for jacq.

6:08 am

jan

Grinding to a halt with 7 to go. Maybe time to list...

jacq

6:12 am

movieman

6:12 am

Atalante

my phantom of the day is herring

6:13 am

lynxxx

hi MM, both yi4.7 and plurals

6:13 am

jan

Ethnic slur, for one. Short yelps for the other

6:13 am

6:21 am

Haz1558

ph6/33 - looks like a shortened version of what gym teachers teach/inflict on unwilling and unfit pupils.

6:21 am

lynxxx

lol, yes

6:22 am

Haz1558

Can you tell that I was an unwilling and unfit pupil?

6:23 am

Atalante

Haz1558

I have horrid memories of windy hockey pitches and the P E teacher standing on the sidlelines yelling at us.

6:24 am

jan

Though I am curious about why the apparent past tense is ok but not the present...

6:24 am

lynxxx

ed meaning education

6:24 am

Atalante

hockey I didn't mind, because I was really good at it. I really hated the gym days - climbing up ropes etc

6:24 am

jan

Shudder...I remember field hockey and the vicious girls who would go right for the shins.

6:25 am

FMitch

Love hocley and netball.

Hi all :)

6:25 am

6:28 am

Smashing. TY!

9:02 am

NonoNanette

9:02 am

EvaNadine

*YAY!*

its the highlight of my last workday before Halloween.
:)

9:03 am

Marc Freeman

Lickety's list is wrong correct?

9:05 am

Judi

Oh, what fun, Eva!

9:05 am

harpjane

good morning, glad it is a short one today

9:07 am

Judi

Ph6?

9:07 am

harpjane

we have around 1000 trick or treaters so I'm frantically cleaning up the yard today--have to get the summer stuff out of the way and put some sort of barrier up in front of our rock garden so nobody will trip on it....

9:08 am

Judi

That's insane, Harpjane! Are you giving away gold bars or something?

9:08 am

Anniebrook

judi, think of gym class in school, P. E.

9:08 am

Anniebrook

I think that was Trif's clue

9:08 am

Judi

Ty, Annie.

9:08 am

Anniebrook

Now I have to get this goo out of my hair, bye, see you all later, I hope

9:12 am

harpjane

lol judi, it's either a huge pain in the ass or a lot of fun, depending on my attitude and on who comes over to help! We give out glow sticks because I refuse to have that much candy in the house. But it's the whole neighborhood, not just our house. We are a small town and for some reason there is a six block area that gets SLAMMED at Halloween. All the families who live in the country head over to our blocks. There are so many kids that it looks like a parade!

9:12 am

Marc Freeman

Down to 15 and need to go but I really want to finish

9:12 am

harpjane

Then, of course, there are a few who do haunted houses and the like. It's fun, watching them pop up all over the area.

9:13 am

Judi

Past few years, we got so few ghoulies, we just don't bother anymore. We go out to dinner and stay out until 9:30 or so. Leave all the lights off, etc.

9:13 am

harpjane

It's also sort of a bizarre initiation for new neighbors. If they don't know what to expect, they run out of treats before it even gets dark!

9:14 am

harpjane

does anyone have an icon clue for me today?

9:14 am

Judi

lol. I'll be they wonder why the realtor never mentioned that particular factoid.

9:14 am

Judi

*bet*

9:15 am

harpjane

lol we ought to have to disclose it during a sale! Some families leave their decorations behind for the next buyer!

9:18 am

harpjane

typical teeny grid, i can only find 15 words!

9:18 am

Marc Freeman

11:42 am

Gail

Big on and second one. Just got the pins out. It's doing great. My shoulders, however, are a dufferent story.

11:43 am

Gail

different, that should say.

11:43 am

CadFan

Rotator cuff problems from being in a wheel chair - or from crutches?

11:44 am

Gail

Yes, but they were torn before the foot surgery. I use a walker and the wheelchair.

11:45 am

CadFan

So now you have that repair to look forward to?

11:46 am

Gail

Maybe, but I had neck surgery , so they don't want to really do the shoulders or I might get paralyzed.

11:48 am

dcseain

Gail, I dont recall meeting you before. Just read your surgery list and wonder whether that is all due to a car accident?

11:51 am

Gail

No, just lots of arthritis, mainly. I've had lupus and arthritis since I was 17.

11:52 am

inge

oh dear. Sorry to hear. Will be sending healing vibes your way

thanks - trying to get my mind occupied - my daughter's high school was on lockdown today - someone left a Columbine-like note on the wall and apparently it was a serious threat to do harm. So they were locked down - just getting out of the building now.

6:44 pm

Good grief!

oh gee babbz, that would be worrisome.

6:45 pm

babbz

No kidding - every child was frisked, bags checked, and they weren't allowed to go to their lockers. No one allowed into the building or out of the building

6:45 pm

babbz

and a hundred police there

6:46 pm

stidmama

I hope your daughter wasn't too traumatized

6:46 pm

babbz

She is 3 hours late for work.

6:46 pm

babbz

no, but she was ticked that she was losing money by not being at work. She's saving for a senior trip to Mexico

6:46 pm

stidmama

hopefully the boss will understand?

6:47 pm

babbz

no problem with the job - they have a number of kids that work there from the h.s. so they were all in the same boat.

Hi everyone.

6:47 pm

Bugsaw

stid, were you in class again today?

6:47 pm

babbz

But not sure we need all that drama!

6:48 pm

stidmama

just in my own college classes, and left early due to a bad interaction with a classmate. He's a bastard, and I will deliberately not work with him again.

6:49 pm

Bugsaw

good move stid.

6:49 pm

of course, the way our classes are structured I may not have a choice... have already let my teachers know (we had a guest teacher today) and hopefully something can be worked out.

or maybe just put laxative in their sodas?

6:51 pm

Bugsaw

I hate the way classes make you work in groups when some people can't grasp the idea of consensus. (sorry about the goo PB entry. my cat is sleeping on my wrist

6:52 pm

jmcnrick

omg babbz

6:52 pm

babbz

I know - it's scary.

6:52 pm

stidmama

what made me upset was that this individual misunderstood the actual assignment, left for a while and then accused me of hijacking the group because I was expressing ideas (at first I said I hadn't been able to come up with any but in his absence, listening to the others I realized I could contribute...)

6:52 pm

jmcnrick

no we avoid beating people up but we stand up to them and call them out

6:53 pm

stidmama

I did that, and his face got BEET RED, jmc (not exaggerating) and he started to yell. So I left the room and went back when they took a break, grabbed my stuff and left campus.

6:53 pm

6:57 pm

Trifioso

6:58 pm

jmcnrick

my sister says about me (in recent email about the people "caring" for my mother) "Your voice at the end of our conversation had that sort of "I am going to step back calmly and rationally and punch somebody's lights out" tone to it. Always liked that tone."

6:58 pm

Bugsaw

I hate confrontation too and I retreat too when necessary.

6:59 pm

people hear a really calm voice saying I am really angry and they listen and react in the way I want

I have found that a soft but firm tone works when I have to stay and set boundaries too.

7:00 pm

Bugsaw

I just stand calmly and let them go nuts. It usually gets an audience. Then when they are done, I calmly say, "Are you done now?"

7:00 pm

stidmama

okay, back. have been trying to catch up on the log...

7:01 pm

Bugsaw

That gets the audience on my side and I don't have to do much more since they are now the embarrased ones.

7:01 pm

jmcnrick

ultimately similar to mine -- except mine stance is a little more proactive

7:01 pm

jmcnrick

both are good

7:02 pm

stidmama

I was being calm, and clear. When he challenged me, I didn't back down. Why do men never expect a woman to be intelligent, competent and to respond to inanity?

7:02 pm

car.eeyore

I need the last D from the left column please...I have di 4 x 3

7:02 pm

jmcnrick

because they are sexist

7:02 pm

stidmama

I was reassured by the other members of the group that I wasn't mistaken or out of line.

7:02 pm

Bugsaw

You are in a different field jmc, so you have to set limits more often. I admire your style

7:02 pm

stidmama

yep. that was my thought.

7:03 pm

stidmama

I could never be a lawyer... beginning to think that even teaching may be more than I can handle.

7:03 pm

jmcnrick

i have done the same dealing with my mother's caretakers, people trying to shove my son around and people cutting in line at christmas time

7:04 pm

car.eeyore

NM! Found it!

7:04 pm

jmcnrick

it is not about being a lawyer-- it is much more about being a quaker

7:04 pm

jmcnrick

speaking truth to power is not just about protests

7:04 pm

stidmama

I usually let things go unless they are really important. This was important.

7:04 pm

stidmama

go car go!

7:04 pm

jmcnrick

whoo car sorry you are getting neglacted

7:04 pm

Bugsaw

Keep calm stid. You will truly enjoy it because the kids are more respectful of teachers than they are of their parents. If you treat them like they are competant, intelligent people who deserve respect, they will respond very well.

7:04 pm

stidmama

the quiet strength piece?

7:04 pm

jmcnrick

good for you stiddie

7:05 pm

car.eeyore

That's ok...thanks for thinking of me!

7:05 pm

jmcnrick

ultimately none of it is important stiddie so it is more about living a life of integrity regardless

7:05 pm

stidmama

I would like to have a good handle on dealing with people who are mistaken and who don't want to learn that they need to redirect...

7:06 pm

Bugsaw

One day we will meet when you come up to visit Jilli because she says she will let me know. I think you will be fine. Parents can go nuts and teachers are taught to go directly to the principal and ignore the whole thing.

7:06 pm

jmcnrick

cute mario brothers car although hard to see because the picture is so large

7:06 pm

stidmama

thanks Bugs. That is one my worries, actually -- the parents who will be like my classmate.

7:07 pm

car.eeyore

I know JMC...never got around to shrinking it down

7:07 pm

stidmama

And I look forward to meeting you, so far all the babblers I have met have been such lovely people.

7:07 pm

car.eeyore

{costumes courtesy of Trifioso!}

7:07 pm

jmcnrick

there are a lot of helicopter parents these days so you will have to be good about documentation and clear and firm lines

7:07 pm

jmcnrick

trif made those?!!

7:08 pm

stidmama

and now to apologize to the children for my demeanor when I came home -- VERY distracted and on edge. I was trying to not be, but still close to tears. I don't have to be everyone's friend, but I hate to be anyone's enemy.

7:08 pm

stidmama

golly trifioso! you're a GENIUS!

7:09 pm

jmcnrick

lol i tell me staff or my son when i walk in "I am in a bad mood. Leave me alone for a bit." that way they understand it is not their fault and they can let it go

7:09 pm

jmcnrick

is ata he4?

7:09 pm

Bugsaw

Let it go stid. People who matter know what kind of a person you are and if he hadn't left the room when he was supposed to be there, the guy would never have misunderstood anyway. It is his problem that he created and has to deal with, not yours.

7:09 pm

stidmama

Once I get the younger child delivered to his evening activity, I can come home, finish making my comfort food for dinner and have a small glass of wine.

7:10 pm

stidmama

I tried to tell them, but you know adolescents.... one of them had to push anyway.

7:10 pm

car.eeyore

Actually...she did NOT make them...she was going to but then found them in the store cheaper than the original price we saw them for so she bought them for her beloved nephews...and they are SOOOOO happy!

7:10 pm

stidmama

(still a brilliant move tri! LOL)

7:10 pm

jmcnrick

they are very cute whether made or bought

7:10 pm

jmcnrick

funny ting happened today

7:10 pm

car.eeyore

But she is a genius and could have made them! She can make ANYTHING!

7:11 pm

stidmama

((((((((hugging everyone in sight))))))) thanks for letting me talk it out. I will make a game plan for the next time, run it past you-all and then past my teachers. I need to figure out how to cope with these sorts of situations.

7:11 pm

jmcnrick

i was talking with my sister about halloween costumes for a party we both go to

7:11 pm

stidmama

*waits to hear the funny thing*

7:11 pm

car.eeyore

Tomorrow they get to don the big black bushy mustaches that came with the costumes!

7:11 pm

car.eeyore

{love you Stid!}

7:11 pm

jmcnrick

i said i had decided to put white shoe polish on my hair and use my mothers walker as the scariest thing i could think of

7:12 pm

jmcnrick

my sister rolled her eyes because she had decided on the same costume! sigh

7:12 pm

Bugsaw

Please post a picture with the mustaches! They are already so cute.

7:12 pm

car.eeyore

Too funny!

7:12 pm

lbdawger

Hi Everyone! Stiddy, you can't anticipate what an ass will do or not do. You can only be true to yourself. Don't let the b&stur get you down.

7:12 pm

stidmama

oh my! that is funny, jmc!

7:12 pm

car.eeyore

Oh I will Bugs...and I will remember to size it correctly too!

7:12 pm

Bugsaw

Does shoe polish wash off jmc?

7:13 pm

stidmama

thanks LBD. jsut read a reply from one of the teachers, and will meet with her next week. She is okay with it, and will help me figure out what's going on.

7:13 pm

jmcnrick

so i am going to wear a black cape and a scythe and a sign that says "The future of Journalism" since most of the people at the party are reporters or former reporters

7:13 pm

car.eeyore

BRB...laundry calls..

7:13 pm

lbdawger

(((STID)))

7:13 pm

jmcnrick

yes the liquid shoe polish rinses right out

7:14 pm

Bugsaw

Great idea!

7:14 pm

jmcnrick

it would be very funny except it is kinda depressing at the same time!

7:14 pm

jmcnrick

i have used liquid shoe polish on hair before

7:14 pm

Bugsaw

escpecially since your mother will be grounded while you scoot around with her walker!!

7:14 pm

lbdawger

and don't worry about parents. for the most part they know if their kids are stinkers, they are usually so embarrased that they will pretty much do anything to keep you from doing anything drastic. the only ones that act belligerent are those in denial or truly surprised.

7:14 pm

jmcnrick

if you want neon colors use jello

7:15 pm

Bugsaw

Jello would feel horrible but it would spike well

7:15 pm

jmcnrick

my mother -- unfortunately is wheel chair bound these days and wont miss the walker

7:15 pm

jmcnrick

if you brush it after it sets it feels okay

7:16 pm

Bugsaw

I should have come here for costume ideas earlier because we had to wear stuff at school today.

7:17 pm

jmcnrick

you should know that the chog is a source for any indormation you need

7:17 pm

jmcnrick

*information

7:18 pm

Bugsaw

I do but it never occurs to me to use it that way. (Except once when I asked for book recommendations. That was great)

7:18 pm

lbdawger

okay, so with the jello, do you mix it first? or put it on dry?

7:19 pm

jmcnrick

mix it and use it like a shampoo (i learn this when my son went to his HS prom with blue hair and his date with pink)

7:19 pm

jmcnrick

and hi lbd

8:12 pm

welki

nevermind, gort .. just getting over the week :)

8:12 pm

gortmold

yes,i met some americans who thought TD was fantasy food - it is in the sense that it's heavenly, but in the sense that they sell it by the kilo and it tastes fabulous, it's very earthy

8:12 pm

lbdawger

is turkish delight like divinity?

8:13 pm

Bugsaw

I think it is the same thing lb

8:13 pm

gortmold

rough week welki?

could have been worse, gort. it could be thursday. thanks :)

8:13 pm

jmcnrick

i had the impression that turkish delight was more like nutty butty

8:13 pm

gortmold

is divinity thick gelatinous goo flavoured with rosewater and dipped in icing sugar?

8:14 pm

jmcnrick

clearly i was wrong

8:14 pm

lbdawger

all i know of divinity is it is super sugary. not my thing

8:15 pm

welki

turkish taffy, je. bonomo turkish taffy . banana, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. smack it to break it into pieces or just hang on to it in your mouth until it gets taffy-like ... is that what you were thinking of? (ohhhhhh, sugar daddies!)

8:16 pm

welki

damn, no wonder i'm as fat as a pig! i love my food! LOL

8:16 pm

welki

who else could write a paragraph about turkish taffy? LOLOL

8:16 pm

who did what to whom now? I'm so confused

8:30 pm

Dorens

ahhhhhhhh now i understand. no, not I

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

oh i would never watch that -- not a pedophile fan

8:30 pm

lbdawger

was never a fan of mj's.

8:30 pm

gortmold

LOL jmc

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

*puts on foil hat for good measure*

8:31 pm

gortmold

do foil hats repel pedophiles?

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

foil hats are good for anything!

8:31 pm

gortmold

so i take it that's a resounding no, then?

8:32 pm

rururocks

(note to self... buy Reynolds stock)

8:32 pm

jmcnrick

lol ru

8:32 pm

Dorens

i think he had lots of talent, but got screwed up along the way... sad, but so it was

8:32 pm

rururocks

I don't care for MJ either

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

i agree it was sad and he had a hard childhood but there is no excuse

8:33 pm

rururocks

He was an entertainer that's for sure

8:33 pm

Dorens

no, not an excuse... i lost any admiration i had for him along the way.. but the young michael jackson was truly gifted.. can't take that away from him

8:33 pm

rururocks

I just hated it when he checked into Children's Hospital in LA all the time....

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

*shudders*

8:34 pm

gortmold

so no one here has actually seen the movie and can tell me if it's worthwhile? i find the guy creepy, but the film shorts looked like a ripper

8:34 pm

Dorens

the money and power he had certainly did help corrupt him... amazing what you can get away with when you're "big" enough

8:34 pm

rururocks

It has been getting bad reviews out here.. the local paper blasted the movie

8:34 pm

gortmold

(ripper being aussie for "good thing", not some reference to his private life)

8:35 pm

Dorens

glad you clarified that gort

8:35 pm

gortmold

what did they say was wrong with it ru?

8:35 pm

Bugsaw

the best review said it is not too bad if you go in with low expectations.

8:36 pm

gortmold

lol bugs

8:36 pm

rururocks

haven't read the review yet .. just the headline

8:36 pm

Dorens

certainly has no appeal for me.. no interest whatsoever.. wouldn't even read the reviews

8:36 pm

jmcnrick

lol there is a glowing review!

8:37 pm

rururocks

wonder if it will double bill with a woody allen movie out here

8:37 pm

lbdawger

i'd wait til it comes on network telly. that way if it's horrid, you can change the channel and not feel like you got taken.

8:37 pm

jmcnrick

lol ru

8:37 pm

Bugsaw

I heard it on the radio people! I wouldn't spend time with it otherwise as well as you and for the same reasons!

8:38 pm

gortmold

i guess i'm intrigued by the hullabaloo surrounding him; i grew up in a secluded religious group which shielded me from Jacksonmania, and now as an adult, i'm trying to understand my peers

8:38 pm

gortmold

good point there lbd

8:39 pm

rururocks

oh geez...

8:39 pm

rururocks

oh geez...

8:39 pm

Bugsaw

Don't worry gortmold. Most people liked the music but not the man or the performances (except Thriller)

8:39 pm

jmcnrick

understanding MJ will not bring you up to date gort

8:39 pm

jmcnrick

it will just gross you out

8:39 pm

rururocks

plus you would have to wear your pants up tight and high

8:39 pm

gortmold

well now i'm confused - who really is the antichrist - oprah? MJ? Obama?me? :)

8:40 pm

rururocks

Bernie Madoff is the anti-christ

8:40 pm

Bugsaw

I second that ruru

8:40 pm

rururocks

(and Dr. Phil)

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

not oprah

8:40 pm

Dorens

why does there have to be an antichrist?

8:40 pm

gortmold

lol, ru, MJ would have fitted right in with us - the higher the pants, the closer to divinity

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

i could go with bernie madoff except it sounds so antisemetic

8:41 pm

Bugsaw

not Oprah and I love the Dr. Phil line, "So how is that working for you?"

8:41 pm

lbdawger

rush limbaugh

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

mj's pants didn't stay high tho gort -- that was the problem

8:41 pm

rururocks

ugh!!!!!there's another one.. way to go lbd

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

pat robertson

8:41 pm

Bugsaw

LOL jmc

8:41 pm

snags

just a thought, but old madoff was a product of our own greed

8:41 pm

Dorens

oh, is that where the line comes from? thanks for enlightening me, bugs. i never knew. once watched dr. phil for 5 minutes and that was enough for a lifetime

8:41 pm

torgone

Glenn Beck ..

8:42 pm

Dorens

just what i was going to say tor

8:42 pm

lbdawger

good one torg!

8:42 pm

jmcnrick

that line is a classic shrink line dorens

8:42 pm

rururocks

No.. he was just a swindler.. anyone who would steal money from a non-profit is lower than low to me

8:42 pm

snags

have u all heard.......... if it sounds to good to be true, it is!!

8:42 pm

jmcnrick

not my greed snags and yet he hurt my org

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

several foundations invested with him

8:43 pm

snags

understand jmc

8:43 pm

rururocks

one of our close friends lost everything

8:43 pm

gortmold

right, well now that i've stirred up anti-mj, pro-oprah feelings and disturbedness about my pop-culture ignorance and started a new religion based on Guru Madoff, my work is done and i must poof

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

what are the o word stats please?

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

rururocks

I love german shepards..as a rule

8:55 pm

rururocks

They are a great breed

8:55 pm

lbdawger

you should be careful around dogs you are unfamiliar with, but never show terror. they sense it.

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

labs seem nice

8:55 pm

jesdraggon

pretty rare that i come across rare breeds, dawg, but i could call this one a german shepherd/doberman pinscher for you if you like

8:55 pm

torgone

I trust you raised a smarter kid ..

9:45 pm

jmcnrick

but what the guy didn't know is my son had just gotten a brand new video camera with a suction mount and had it on his car

9:46 pm

jesdraggon

hah! and your son said i've got a better idea, how about you pay for my car and i don't call the cops?

9:46 pm

Roni

Love it!

9:46 pm

jesdraggon

oh, that's beautiful, jam!

9:46 pm

jmcnrick

it was not facing the car that hit him but shows him in his lane the entire time

9:46 pm

lbdawger

or, better clear your calendar, cuz we've got a court date!

9:46 pm

Roni

yep

9:47 pm

jmcnrick

so the next day my son gets a call from the guy saying I need to hear from you or I am calling the insurance co

9:47 pm

lbdawger

and...

9:47 pm

Roni

ouny

9:47 pm

jmcnrick

i told my son to call our insurance co and while he was on the phone the adjuster said -- o he just filed a claim against you

9:47 pm

Roni

oops

9:48 pm

Roni

only in america

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

nah, there are self-serving asshats in all countries, roni

9:48 pm

jmcnrick

so my son sent the adjuster the video and then he gets a message from the guy saying I understand you changed your story and are lying and I know lots of cops and if you don't back down i am going to talk to them

9:48 pm

lbdawger

what an ass.

9:49 pm

jmcnrick

so i told my son call the cops and see what the rules are on reporting an accident with no hurt people and working cars

9:49 pm

lbdawger

uhm, why wasn't a cop called to the accident?

9:49 pm

jmcnrick

turns out the police wont even take a report

9:49 pm

jmcnrick

if there is no one hurt and the cars can move most jusridictions tell you to report within 2 hours

9:49 pm

jmcnrick

*24 hours

9:50 pm

torgone

This guy is toast ..

9:50 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

9:50 pm

autumn moon

uhmmmm call a lawyer and find out what the penalty is for trying to defraud the insurance company

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

9:50 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

9:51 pm

autumn moon

9:51 pm

jesdraggon

howdy min, how're you?

9:51 pm

jmcnrick

my son's car only has a scratch and he didn't even care except the guy was such a prick

9:51 pm

jmcnrick

too hard to prove AM

9:51 pm

autumn moon

how much damage on the A-hole's car?

9:51 pm

torgone

Probably a lobbyist ..

9:52 pm

jmcnrick

so the insurance co called my son and said it is settled and the A-hole should pay for my son's car

9:52 pm

jmcnrick

(no a real estate agent just married with a 5 month old kid and a new mortgage)

9:52 pm

jmcnrick

so my son said. . . .

9:52 pm

Minveryork

9:52 pm

jmcnrick
