2:18 am

ursh

I think they dissappear after a few weeks if you dont go pro

2:18 am

sprite

nothing... you get to keep them forever as pro, while you will lose them in 3 weeks as nonpro

2:18 am

jimdwai

oh, didnt know that... that doesnt sound fun

2:55 am

flosey

hope it works for you Sprite. I have a new bread machine and don't like it as well as the old one that gave up the ghost

2:56 am

flosey

am going to try doing it in the machine until the last rising, then take it out and let it rise in pans and finish in the oven

2:56 am

sprite

argh that is always frustrating. Wish things would live on forever, you get so used to them and new isn't always better. Often worse!

2:56 am

flosey

my experience with this anyway Sprite - and it's a bigger name!!

2:57 am

flosey

doesn't always mean better!

6:57 am

Trifioso

were you here yesterday evening, crossy?

6:58 am

crosshair

till about 7 i believe

6:58 am

Trifioso

hmmm. was going to tell you about primo's excellent driving adventure, but I think you were here....

6:59 am

Trifioso

hate to be boring and repetitive, don't you know....

6:59 am

Anniebrook

Trif, I would love to hear about primo's adventure..and hello everyone

6:59 am

crosshair

tell anyways,i cant recall it and have a short term memory like a seive,so every story is a new saga;)

6:59 am

Trifioso

just as I know your boy is going to start driving soon ---

6:59 am

Uneaixoise

hey, all -- i wanna hear, trif!

6:59 am

Sam

st ern

7:00 am

crosshair

oh no...

7:00 am

Anniebrook

Hi Une and Sam

7:00 am

Trifioso

Primo has his permit, and he had a late aft dentist appt yesterday, and I wanted him to practice driving at night, so he drove home....

7:00 am

crosshair

kid wont be driving my car,im telling you that!

7:00 am

Uneaixoise

hey,annie :-)

7:01 am

Trifioso

all was well, until he attempted to park in our garage for the first time -- he was in, but not far enough in - tried to move up a few feet, and his foot slipped off the brake, hit the gas, and -- well, you can imagine what happened next! my poor car!

7:01 am

crosshair

oh no! just like in that commercial

7:02 am

Uneaixoise

oh noooooo

7:02 am

Anniebrook

uh oh

7:02 am

crosshair

did he crash right through into the house?

7:02 am

Trifioso

poor primo was SO upset - not too mention I had gotten OUT of the car, and was guiding him in, and just noticed a green ball that I stepped to the side to move out of the way....if I hadn't.....

7:03 am

crosshair

ahh..the plot thickens

7:03 am

Uneaixoise

ohmygod, trif!

7:03 am

Trifioso

the garage door was up crossy - he hit the far side of the garage (from the inside)

7:03 am

Anniebrook

I hate to follow that thought

7:03 am

crosshair

not good;(

7:03 am

Trifioso

I would have been pinned at thigh level between the back wall of the garage and the bumper of my pathfinder, which is quite big.

7:04 am

Uneaixoise

good lord

7:05 am

Anniebrook

The green ball saved you.

7:05 am

Trifioso

but I have to give credit where it is due - not 15 minutes later, mr. hate arrived to take the kids to dinner - and he was LOVELY. completely calm with primo, showed him how to open the hood, how to assess the damage, the whole thing. I haven't seen that side of him in YEARS so it was good to see. Scored major points with me, and I hope with primo too.

7:05 am

Uneaixoise

hmmmm

7:06 am

crosshair

if i were dad,i would of lost my mind,kudos to the mr

7:07 am

Trifioso

the big tear now is how to handle the repair and all - primo is eligible to get his license in two weeks. having an accident reported on your permit sets the counter back to zero, which means he would not be eligible to take the test until at least june, and he will have to sit driver's ed again (at my expense) the whole thing.

7:07 am

Uneaixoise

must run but, trif, SO glad you and primo were ok

7:08 am

Uneaixoise

er, ARE ok :-)

7:08 am

crosshair

actually,now my boy is 15,i find i have to coast with everything and put every crisis in its proper place..or id be losing my mind non stop

7:08 am

Team_Edward

i have re6,18 re7,28 re6,18 re4,4 what am i missing? please

7:09 am

crosshair

how much damage we talking about trif?

7:09 am

Jayk

the la7, pls?

7:09 am

Trifioso

I am not even sure this counts as an "accident" - no police were involved, no report was filed. it happened in our HOUSE for god sakes!

7:09 am

ladycece920

team - another 4/4

7:10 am

Trifioso

whoa, just got thrown out of babble there for a minute! that was weird....

7:10 am

crosshair

if it is under 1000 just bite the bullet and fix it yourself without insurance

7:10 am

Trifioso

well, let's see, will need a whole new front bumper, and a new fog light --- honestly, with enough duct tape I could probably patch it together, but oh, wouldn't that be pretty!

7:11 am

Team_Edward

thanks ladycece

7:11 am

Trifioso

that's the dark side of the story, crossy - mr. hate had phoned on monday to say that - even though we have NO financial agreement in place yet - he had closed the joint checking and credit cards, so I am cut off, as it were. what a prince

7:12 am

crosshair

did it push the actual metal part of the bumper in?

7:12 am

Trifioso

not sure crossy. I am not exactly mechanically fluent

7:13 am

crosshair

if it is just the plastic cover,it is not so bad

7:13 am

Trifioso

wow, good to know! thanks!

7:13 am

crosshair

still 1500 or so,once you order the cover and have the snop mount it

7:13 am

crosshair

shop even

7:13 am

crosshair

fog lamp is 20 dollars

7:14 am

Trifioso

I actually have a friend who is a mechanic - would probably ask him. are bumpers not covered under the warranty?

7:14 am

crosshair

no,im afraid not trif

7:14 am

Trifioso

well, that probably makes sense - they would do nothing but replace them all the time....

7:15 am

crosshair

when they say bumper to bumper,they mean everything except the bumpers ;/

Haz1558

There are separate speakers this time. They're just sitting there, looking at me. No instructions with them....

7:52 am

Haz1558

The only rams I know about are eating grass in the fields.

Thank you, Annie, I knew you'd appreciate my triumph.

7:53 am

crosshair

if you have a tower,on the back will be 3 jacks of 1/8 inch a green one,a yellow one, and a white..plug speakers into green one

7:53 am

Haz1558

Yes, there's a green jack, but the jack from the speakers isn't coloured green.

7:53 am

crosshair

if they are powered speakers plug it outlet into wall

7:53 am

Haz1558

But just plug in anyway?

7:53 am

crosshair

soaky plug it inbto green jack

7:54 am

Haz1558

7:57 am

Anniebrook

Hi Aloy.

7:57 am

Haz1558

Thank you all for witnessing this technological something or other. The relief of seeing babble again instead of a ghostly white light.

7:57 am

Anniebrook

I am in awe.

7:57 am

yaa for haz!!!

7:58 am

7:58 am

Haz1558

Autographs and pictures will be supplied on receipt of a stamped addressed envelope.

7:58 am

Haz1558

I could not have done it without the help of crosshair. Take a bow and have an extra slice of bacon.

7:59 am

Anniebrook

Of course, you followed my instructions laid out in my book.

7:59 am

crosshair

crossy bows,with mouth full of bacon

7:59 am

Haz1558

7:59 am

crosshair

8:00 am

Anniebrook

I am very proud of both of you.

8:00 am

Haz1558

But crossy, you're a man. MANuals are not well named.

8:01 am

crosshair

mauals?! we dont need no steenking manuals

8:01 am

Haz1558

They're only provided for us silly women who have no imagination.

8:02 am

Anniebrook

8:02 am

Haz1558

Exactly - and knitting patterns.

8:03 am

Atalante

are you about to leave, Haz?

8:04 am

Haz1558

Okay, now that I've acomplished heroic status in Annie's eyes, I'd better get down to more mundane tasks, like putting away the rest of the shopping and clearing up the packaging.

8:04 am

Haz1558

Timing! Every time I'm about to go, Ata appears.

8:04 am

Haz1558

One of these days I'll stick around, honestly!

8:05 am

Anniebrook

See you later, Haz

8:06 am

Aloyisius

ttfn, Haz..

8:06 am

Haz1558

Bye, Annie. See you all later. Unless Ata sulks furiously.

8:08 am

hego

Huge moment of panic!!! My keyboard stopped working. Then duh, I realized it needed batteries as it's wireless. so I'm back in business.

8:08 am

hego

Hi Haz and Aloy.

8:08 am

Atalante

sulking furiously already :)

8:08 am

Aloyisius

whew.. good news, hego

8:08 am

Haz1558

Not that the owner of the prettiest kitty ever known to man, in the history of the universe and throughout unexplored galaxies, could possibly ever have anything about which to sulk....

8:08 am

Atalante

I'm glad you acknowledge Silverclaw's status :):)

8:09 am

Atalante

I saw a Welsh Springer today that wasn't half as pretty as SPangle

8:09 am

Haz1558

It's called diplomacy, dear.

8:09 am

Atalante

a little tiny weeny bit slimmer maybe ....

8:09 am

Haz1558

Spangle wins in the pretty stakes.

8:09 am

Atalante

she does indeed

8:09 am

Atalante

though 2 strangers praised Hobbit today at the beach

8:10 am

Haz1558

Hobbit deserves praise, especially when she's got her purple collar on.

8:10 am

Atalante

she's always got her purple collar on!

8:11 am

Haz1558

Okay, now that we've achieved entente cordiale, I must be off (eat your heart out, Henry Kissinger) So much conflict could be avoided if people just praised each other's pets.

8:11 am

Haz1558

Byeeee!

8:11 am

she gets ever so offended if I take it off lol

nasty condition

8:35 am

hego

Yes, I didn't realize how much so. But he's a good patient and is folllowing doc's orders.

indeed crossy. week one down, working now on week 2

11:34 am

Cassi

what's the weather like for you crossy? It is supposed to snow here, everyone is flippin out.

11:36 am

crosshair

we had some snow this morning cassi,bout an inch and was -3c

11:36 am

crosshair

lol,we dont flip out till it gets over 2 feet

11:37 am

Cassi

yikes! It is a little less than 40F here.

11:37 am

Cassi

we are supposed to get 1-3 inches... I bet the whole city just about shuts down

11:38 am

crosshair

ive actually seen four feet in a single snowfall and the town was shut down for the day while the plows caught up(wasaga beach,ontario)

11:38 am

Cassi

yea, I was in a blizzard in Taos, NM when I was young (I think I was 7). That was pretty bad, we were on the mountain too!

11:39 am

Cassi

we don't have the equipment to handle snow/ice. That is part of the problem. And people don't know how to drive when it rains here, much less snow.

11:44 am

hootowl

hi Cassi - are you in Memphis too?

11:44 am

Cassi

nope, in Austin, Texas

11:47 am

hootowl

I see. Memphis wons NO plows. Just salts and/or sands. Not supposed to snow here you know (dripping sarcasm). Just wish it would take out the AHs who race to lights, can't remember where they are or where they are going and don't give a ding-dong about anyone but themselves.

11:47 am

helensgirlkid

We're having snow here today, too - didn't even bother looking at the amount predicted, doesn't matter - no one will see a snow plos before tomorrow, or a sanding truck before rush hour this evening. And we're in Canada!

11:48 am

hootowl

But that would empty the place....

11:48 am

hootowl

owns

11:48 am

Cassi

I don't think Austin owns any plows either, but I have never seen it snow bad enough to need it.

11:49 am

helensgirlkid

This is the third snow this week, and the results have been the same twice now - I think they'll go for a perfect record of pretending that Calgary is in California.

11:49 am

Cassi

But they were stupid and a lot of the highways are elevated.. so they freeze. So it's not just a bridge that is out, it will be two or three entire highways (we only have about 5)

11:49 am

Cassi

helen, little did you know you truly live in Cali!

11:50 am

hootowl

I have seen 3-4" of ice on roads because it was never plowed and refroze. Real fun to drive on.

11:50 am

helensgirlkid

They forgot to provide the beaches.

11:50 am

Cassi

yikes!

11:51 am

Cassi

Helen, yea, not everywhere in cali has beaches... I bet you have better summers! I know areas in Cali that hit 110F in the summer!

11:51 am

hootowl

There is actually a snow alert in effect (SOUTH of us!) right now. I shudder to think....

11:51 am

mom2han8

We're getting snow tomorrow night here on the east coast.

11:52 am

helensgirlkid

True, we don't get too warm - but it would be nice not to shiver all summer, like this year - it was pretending to be Seattle from May to September.

11:52 am

Cassi

yay I finally have 50 words. haha, I get all excited about this

11:52 am

hootowl

But there is no climate change........

11:52 am

mom2han8

I was in Florida most of this summer.. it was too hot most of the time to enjoy anything.

11:52 am

Cassi

come to Texas. Mom2~

11:53 am

mom2han8

We have had relatively mild winters over the past two years, so we are due for a doozy!

11:53 am

mom2han8

No way Cassi... I hate the heat. And I really hate the humidity.

11:53 am

Cassi

:0) my best temp is 85... I am in a great place

11:54 am

mom2han8

my husband was once stuck in Nashville for two days because they had 2" of snow... no plows, no shovels... LOL!

11:54 am

mom2han8

85 without humidity is lovely.

11:54 am

hootowl

I spent 6 miserable months in San Antonio from June thru december - was told it wasn't as hot as people thought it was...it was!

11:55 am

helensgirlkid

Finally found that st7 monster that I never remember! Fireworks!

11:55 am

mom2han8

My people don't do well in the heat... I always say that, LOL... I am of Irish descent... we like it overcast and rainy. My cousin moved to Seattle... he is always telling me how it is perfect weather for us!

11:55 am

buffgirl71

How about a clue for that st7 monster, Helen?

11:55 am

crosshair

i melt when it gets over 80f

11:55 am

helensgirlkid

Good luck all - don't freeze or get smushed in traffic anybody.

11:55 am

hootowl

I came to this misbegotten town from Long Island NY. I feel like I am still there. Humidity, weird temp up & down the works

11:56 am

mom2han8

thanks!

11:56 am

Cassi

I can agree San Antonio can be miserable, I lived there and hated it.

11:56 am

helensgirlkid

it's like hollywood starlet, but change the first vowel.

11:56 am

mom2han8

Well, all you can really do about the weather is complain about it, right?

11:56 am

crosshair

my brother tried san antonio and hated it

11:56 am

Cassi

I have an Irish friend FROM Seattle that gets excited when it gets cold here.

11:56 am

hootowl

now you clue it after I spent 1/2 hr monkeying it! :D

11:57 am

Cassi

my issue with SA wasn't the weather though, I had bad luck with people.

11:57 am

hootowl

Nothing much to like about there Crossy - and hi

11:57 am

mom2han8

Yeah... like I said, "My people" don't like the heat.

11:58 am

crosshair

70f with a bit of sun and a little breeze is perfect for me

11:58 am

buffgirl71

Thanks, Helen!

11:59 am

hootowl

SA is 60-70% hispanic. Had an Hispanic mayor when I was there. People try to ignore ir. Doesn't exist. They also still think it is the 50's. Women are always called by their HUSBANDS name. WAAAAAAAAAy backward for today.

12:00 pm

Cassi

Texas in general can be kinda traditional. But yea, I know what you are talking about. Austin is the Texas version of LA.

12:00 pm

mom2han8

Right now it is 51 here... very nice, actually.

12:00 pm

hootowl

they have hundreds of hospitals and churches and ONE supermarket! HEB. H. E. Butt owns the town! I shopped in bodegas. Better food and way better prices!

12:01 pm

mom2han8

I just had to pop out for a minute and make a meatloaf sandwich.... yum!

12:01 pm

crosshair

was the heat that made my brother leave,not what the population type was

12:01 pm

hootowl

I'm sitting yakking and I still need pe7/32 to finish

12:01 pm

Cassi

I have to admit I like HEB. they also have walmart

12:02 pm

mom2han8

I was thinking of you the other day crossy... actually made canadian bacon.

12:02 pm

hootowl

HEB is over-priced. WalMart where?

12:02 pm

crosshair

lol,bacon goodness for all;0

12:02 pm

mom2han8

I would not care if I ever stepped into another WalMart in my life, LOL.

12:03 pm

Cassi

walmart in SA and Austin (SA there is one a few minutes from where I lived at I10 and 1604)

12:03 pm

crosshair

we avoid the one wal-mart here like the plague.no sense having all the local mom and pop stores go out of business

12:03 pm

mom2han8

I thought the food in Florida was expensive... Publix or WalMart are the only games in town. And I just could not bring myself to eat meat purchased from WalMart... LOL.

12:03 pm

Cassi

My BF and I were having a discussion about walmart and how in TX it is a "nicer" store and in Cali it is treated like a flea market

12:03 pm

crosshair

and thier hiring practices are a tad suspect...

12:04 pm

mom2han8

I am a union member and am absolutely apalled when one of my coworkers mentions shopping at WalMart!

12:04 pm

crosshair

everyone is either under 18,over 70,or looks like they crossed the border in a boat 3 a.m that morning

12:04 pm

mom2han8

I will not step foot in one if I do not absolutely have to.

12:05 pm

hootowl

I have bought meat there but you have to know meat. It was disconcerting to see pink blobs wrapped in plastic.

12:05 pm

Cassi

Hey, I am fresh out of college and can't afford anything. If another store could touch their prices, I would LOVE to shop there... until then...

12:05 pm

mom2han8

Read Barbara Ehrenreich's book.... "Nickeled and Dimed in America"... the chapter on Walmart says it all.

12:06 pm

crosshair

im trying to buy lore locally made products,not stuff made in china,bolivia or pakistan in sweat shops

12:06 pm

mom2han8

They basically hire people and give them hours just short of what would qualify them for benefits.

12:06 pm

hootowl

mom - it fills a need.

12:06 pm

crosshair

and 1 day before 3 months,they lay them off and rehire them next week

12:06 pm

mom2han8

Not many ways to do that around here, crossy... but I respect that.

12:06 pm

mom2han8

Yes Crossy, that they do!

12:07 pm

hootowl

everyone does that! But with Wally world they make a big deal

12:07 pm

mom2han8

Yes Hoot... their needs... not the needs of their workers.

12:07 pm

crosshair

that way you have no rights as an employee

12:07 pm

Cassi

mom- Walmart is not the only place that does that... there are lots of places that hire for 29 hrs a week.

12:07 pm

Cassi

better than being unemployeed

12:08 pm

mom2han8

Where I work we are eligible for benefits at 20 hours a week.

12:08 pm

mom2han8

Union, though.

12:08 pm

Cassi

Texas is not one to fight for the workers...

12:08 pm

mom2han8

You know Cassi... I swear things are not nearly as bad as companies are making them out to be.

12:09 pm

mom2han8

Well, TX and CA, and other border states don't really need "cheap" labor, do they?

12:09 pm

hootowl

you know they really are not doing anything other companies do. I was "laid off" 2 years before retirement age with 2 weeks severance after 19 yrs. Bottom line always wins!

12:09 pm

Cassi

I work at a staffing company and it sucks because I see each and every way a company can screw over the person they are hiring and I can't do anything about it.

12:09 pm

Atalante

can I just stand up for Walmart a bit? (kind of)

12:10 pm

mom2han8

Of course...

12:10 pm

Atalante

only kind of, don't worry

12:10 pm

hootowl

I came to the conclusion that Texas has so many, many colleges and universities because they don't what their kids learning what the real world is like.

12:10 pm

Atalante

they took over an English supermarket called Asda a few years ago, basically to take over their brilliant cheap clothing ranges. So any George clothes in Walmart are good quality, cheap, and British based :)

12:10 pm

mom2han8

I spent the better part of my life working in restaurants, where they get to pay you less than minimum wage...

12:11 pm

mom2han8

Well that is good to know Ata... made in the UK?

12:11 pm

hootowl

tipping is a pox on restaurants

12:11 pm

Cassi

yea, but they still provide a decent education.

12:11 pm

Jeff7

la 7/32 please

12:11 pm

Atalante

a lot are, Asda does have fairly good ethical standards. for a supermarket.

12:12 pm

Cassi

Yea, restaurants in TX minimum wage is STILL $2.13/hr

12:12 pm

mom2han8

And in reastaurants.... really NO job security at all, particularly privately owned.... at least where I work now there is some protection for the worker.

12:12 pm

hootowl

Only what they want learned.

12:13 pm

Cassi

Keep in mind I just (may/09) graduated from the University of Texas at Austin--I thought they did a pretty good job. I laughed at some of the "ethics" courses.. but overall pretty good.

12:13 pm

mom2han8

The problem with the tipping thing is that if you removed it no one would ever do the work! At least when you are tipped you go home with cash and you really can make a decent hourly wage, depending on where you work.

12:13 pm

Cassi

I averaged $13/hr waitressing (did it for 3 years)

12:14 pm

mom2han8

I averaged more than that, but I was juust sooooo sick of doing it. I do miss the cash, though.

12:14 pm

mom2han8

And the hours stink, too.

12:15 pm

Cassi

well, I worked at a hamburger restaurant (Red Robin). They fired me for reading a book on the clock while I had no tables.

12:15 pm

hootowl

I guess you could say we have 4 supermarkeys here. Kroger, schnucks, Piggley Wiggley and walmarts neighborhood markets. Kroger, PigWig and walmart are trying to keep prices under control because of the recession. Schnucks is not.

12:15 pm

mom2han8

LOL...how dare you be a literate employee!

12:16 pm

mom2han8

I worked at a chain restaurant for 17 years... suited its purposes... but really fraught with idiocy.

12:16 pm

hootowl

All are bringing in lower quality food and charging regular prices. I'd rather have the better quality and at least be able to eat the food!

12:17 pm

Cassi

yea, Sean (BF) and I would like to open a restaurant that pays minimum (standard 7....) per hour + tips.

12:17 pm

hootowl

why keep the tips?

12:17 pm

Atalante

move over here then!

12:17 pm

mom2han8

I got fired from my last restaurant job... fine dining... because they accused me of stealing $80 from the buspeople... LOL! I was like, you people are smoking crack!

12:18 pm

mom2han8

Cassi... there is one in California that I know of that does not allow tipping... but they pay a lot more than $7/hour.

12:18 pm

Cassi

they might have been, crack is popular in restaurant staff...

12:18 pm

hootowl

What galled me was when the restaurant owners decided the wait persons had to pool tips and the house got a cut!

12:18 pm

mom2han8

That is illegal hoot.

12:19 pm

mom2han8

It really came down to the fact that they promoted one of the wait staff to management and she was threatened by me, as I can spell... swear to God it irked her that I could spell.

12:19 pm

hootowl

and who does that stop?

12:19 pm

Cassi

is it? I know of several places that work like that

12:20 pm

mom2han8

Well, if the wait staff reported this to a state regulatory agency... basically what the owners were doing was taking "tax-free" money...

12:20 pm

Atalante

let me apologise on behalf of all english people that invariably don't understand that tips are essentiall for wait staff over there!

12:20 pm

hootowl

I believe you mom. The signs I've seen in some stores make you wonder how they got the job!

12:20 pm

mom2han8

Ata... it is supposed to engender better service.

12:20 pm

Cassi

haha! it's okay. Most people who didn't know seemed to ask.

12:21 pm

crosshair

lol,i worked in the tourist resort/ski condo business for a year, and ill tell you they dont get that weathy by tipping

12:21 pm

hootowl

and I still need the pe7

12:21 pm

Atalante

it's just not the same over here, most palces give minimum wage + tips so it doesn't occur to a lot of people that tips are *important*

12:21 pm

mom2han8

We were a 4 star restaurant... many of our menu items had french names, italian names, etc... she was redoing the menu and I just shook my head!

12:22 pm

Cassi

in some places it is illegal not to tip though. I heard of a couple that got arrested for not tipping

12:22 pm

mom2han8

OMG... being stiffed is a part of the game Cassi... it is not illegal in NJ NOT to tip... it is illegal not to pay your bill, though... the house always wins!

12:22 pm

Cassi

Sonic Drive in is the same way! I got paid 2.13 there...

12:23 pm

Jayk

the ye4 that's not an animal or an affirmative? trade you the pe7 = muscle beginning nd chemical suffix

12:23 pm

mom2han8

OMG... I never knew to tip Sonic employees. Swear to God... now I feel terrible.

12:23 pm

crosshair

2.13..omg. a job i had in 1980 paid 3.25 as min wage

12:23 pm

Cassi

mom- I don't know where it was, I think it was a group where the gratuity was included so they were classified as "not paying bill" but they really just didn't do gratuity

12:23 pm

hootowl

I ate a restaurant once w/6 others. We were the only customers. We had to wait for waiter. Wair for food and longer for bill. They weren't even on the floor! So we left a small tip to show our displeasure and walked out. They came running out of whereever then to follow us to the car. Food wasn't too good either.

12:23 pm

buffgirl71

pe 7/36: abbrev for chest muscle + salt to ***t*

12:24 pm

mom2han8

hoot... that's terrible. I was an excellent waitress... but always knew when I slacked off... most wait staff does.. you know when you deserve a bad tip.

12:25 pm

Cassi

yea, I def had those days...

12:25 pm

mom2han8

I NEVER EVER commented on a tip to a customer, EVER. It is beneath me.

12:25 pm

hootowl

that's the pe I have = your ye needs another cons

12:26 pm

Cassi

I don't think I did, but there were times I wanted to walk to the door and give it back and say "obviously you need this worse than I do"

12:26 pm

mom2han8

And over the years I had customers who I got to know rather well and my like or dislike of them was really not related to what kind of tipper they were.

12:26 pm

Cassi

it is unfortunate when your favorite regular didn't tip well.

12:27 pm

mom2han8

Oh, Cassi... OK to think it... but to do it is just demeaning to you.

12:27 pm

mom2han8

Yes, but that happens. The next person makes up for it. That's what I learned.

12:27 pm

hootowl

I always tip well unless it's bad service or bad food. Known too many watresses

12:27 pm

mom2han8

Me, too Hoot.

12:28 pm

hootowl

And regulars may be retirees or the like on a limited income

12:28 pm

Cassi

me too. I am an extremist sometimes, I am not afraid to talk to management if everything sucked

12:28 pm

mom2han8

I recently had a waitress literally "throw" my sandwich across the table... I was like, "Wow, bad day?" and then she ended up being nice the rest of the meal.

And listen, sometimes the customer is an idiot... best to just leave those people to their own devices... I recently had a customer at my current job who wanted me to write a novel on a 5" cake... it would have been like writing on a grain of rice.... and yet, she just would not believe me that I could not do it.

12:31 pm

Dorens

sorry for that. just finally got to try babble expert... what fun!

12:31 pm

mom2han8

And I really hate getting a manager because it is like admitting defeat, LOL... but I had to call someone in this woman's case... I actually saw the manager just walk away from her while rolling his eyes and throwing up his hands.

12:31 pm

hootowl

should have brought her a pencil and a piece of paper and had her try it on a 5" circle

12:32 pm

mom2han8

After the manager left she was still standing with the cake in her hand, so I brought out a Happy Birthday pick and gave it to her... that seemed somehow to satisfy her... it was kind of sad and funny at the same time.

12:33 pm

mom2han8

Basically she wanted this $7 tiny little cake to say it all!

12:33 pm

Cassi

she had the best of intentions I am sure!

12:33 pm

Cassi

I love it when I get a cake and it's misspelled :)

12:34 pm

mom2han8

But at least it makes for a good story, LOL!

12:35 pm

mom2han8

OMG... funniest story EVER about a cake... my friend was having a birthday party for her two children... we ordered the cake from the bakery dept. of a local supermarket (not the one I work at)... we chose Picture #240 from the book for the top of the cake... when we went to pick it up it was a white cake and had "Picture #240" written on it. I nearly peed in my pants!

12:35 pm

I literally just Burst Out Laughing when I saw it! And not in a mean way, there was just something so childlike about its literalness!

12:38 pm

mom2han8

And they were extremely nice. They fixed it and we moved on, but now we have this great cake story!

12:38 pm

Atalante

did you get a pic of it?

12:38 pm

My friend has a son named Jeffrey... I think for at least 5 out of his 10 birthdays he has gotten a cake that said Happy Birthday Jefferey... LOL.

12:38 pm

well, I reaaaaally need to get some work done. My productiveness has gone down since I discovered Babble

12:39 pm

12:39 pm

mom2han8

Cassi... the downside of Babble!

3:17 pm

lynxxx

TY Haz, hi

Flask1

Evening all.....Haz sorry about yesterday, I was called away from keyboard and looked as tho' I was ignoring you.....I wasn't...and yes of course he's the most perfect baby in the world....just look who his granny is...lolol

3:20 pm

Scrabbler

actress = rhymes with Miss Sc***** of the game CLue

3:20 pm

Haz1558

Not a particular actress, more a type of actress who wants fame. Or, use first letters of the back of the boat, then a word of permission (three letters)

3:20 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Flask--congrats!

3:20 pm

hego

You'll get them Scrabs, not too hard.

3:21 pm

Flask1

Thanks Scrabbler!

3:21 pm

Scrabbler

One sa to go, a 5

3:21 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Flask - no, I knew you were probably called away, don't worry. I knew you'd be besotted with your little grandson, it's the law of the universe!

3:21 pm

Haz1558

What's his name, Flask?

3:21 pm

hego

Aha, Haz, now I remember. tx

3:22 pm

Haz1558

No problem, hego.

3:22 pm

Flask1

I got to hold him today for the first time....and I just wanted to eat him all up.....he's sooooo gorgeous!

3:22 pm

Flask1

Alexander John MacLean....

3:22 pm

Haz1558

What a lovely name!

3:23 pm

Haz1558

There's no mistaking his Scottish roots, that's for sure.

3:23 pm

Flask1

Iain, my son picked it!

3:23 pm

lynxxx

He's lovely Flask, lucky you. An impressive name too, lots to live up to

3:24 pm

lynxxx

Flask, are you the mother of Jean & Iain?

3:24 pm

Haz1558

It's a fine name and I'm sure he'll grow up to be worthy of it. But just for the minute, rejoice in his tininess. It's the little fingernails that always amaze me and the creases in their hand and toes.

3:24 pm

Flask1

I think its a very strong name!

3:25 pm

Flask1

No Lynxxx am not, sorry!

3:26 pm

Flask1

Haz, thats what we were looking at today, Iain was changing his nappy and I pointed out the loose skin still round his knees.....and he has such long fingers!

3:26 pm

Haz1558

I know, it's just so incredible to see the detail.

3:27 pm

Flask1

He's still under 5lbs. but growing....

3:27 pm

Scrabbler

Great name, Flask! Is he a premie?

3:27 pm

lynxxx

BBL there's a farmers market nearby so am going to top up on some veges

Scrabbler

3:28 pm

hego

Hooray. s's slammed!

3:28 pm

Scrabbler

3:28 pm

Haz1558

Bye, lynxx.

3:28 pm

Haz1558

sa5 - add the vegetable letter to the sa4/4 preceding.

3:28 pm

Flask1

Yes Scrabbler......he was almost 8 wks early and only 4lb 10oz.

3:29 pm

hego

same as the 4 before it + one more cons

3:29 pm

Flask1

so why is mine not changing?

3:29 pm

Scrabbler

THAT vegetable letter! Odd word.

3:29 pm

Haz1558

Goodness, that must have been early excitement for you, mixed up with worry as well. I'm glad he's here and doing well.

3:30 pm

Atalante

uhoh Haz is about to go ...

3:30 pm

Haz1558

I'm assuming you've refreshed numerous times, Flask?

3:30 pm

Haz1558

No, I'm not! (Starts up stirring chorus of 'We shall not, we shall not be moved)

3:30 pm

Flask1

Haz it was dreadful for the first 12 hrs.....then slowly it got better.......

3:31 pm

Haz1558

I can imagine, heart in mouth time.

3:31 pm

Atalante

oooo!!

3:31 pm

Flask1

I have refreshed about 25 million times....lolol nothings working!!

3:31 pm

Haz1558

And you've kicked the computer?

3:31 pm

hego

That's happened to me.

3:32 pm

Flask1

Next stop....is out the window!!!!!

3:32 pm

Haz1558

Watch out below!

3:32 pm

hego

Veeeerrryy frustrating!

3:32 pm

Atalante

Haz? Do you have any advice on some cake / something I could cook using mincemeat that isn't a mince pie?

3:33 pm

Flask1

Hmph!!!....tell me about it!!!!

3:33 pm

Haz1558

Not off the top of my head, but if you google mincemeat, maybe some of the recipe websites will come up with something.

3:34 pm

Flask1

clue for hi6/24 please?

3:34 pm

Haz1558

Or else be experimental and mix it in with a plain sponge/madeira type mixture and see what happens.

3:34 pm

Atalante

I'm not very good at experimental lol

3:35 pm

Haz1558

hi6/24 - hi plus a backwards word for someone having difficulty in walking.

3:36 pm

Haz1558

Maybe better stick to what the websites say, in that case.

3:36 pm

Joanne123

hummm

3:36 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Ata

3:37 pm

Haz1558

BBC website has a recipe for a mincemeat cake, and so does Delia. I trust Delia.

3:40 pm

Atalante

3:41 pm

Haz1558

None of that awful Nigella pouting with Delia.

3:41 pm

Atalante

and lucious sensual flinging of hair

3:42 pm

Haz1558

Yes, but her husband won't eat her food. That gives me great satisfaction.

3:42 pm

Scrabbler

*mumbling about silly re words--some are accepted, others are not*

3:42 pm

hego

Fun,fun, Scrabs. Not!

Haz1558

ol plus the springtime Christian celebration.

3:45 pm

Atalante

oh gosh, I'm stupid. I've been thinking that was a phantom all day!

3:45 pm

Haz1558

I know, her poor first husband ended up not being able to eat her food although I'm sure he would have loved to indulge.

3:46 pm

Atalante

John Diamond was amazing

3:47 pm

Haz1558

He was, he was affected so cruelly.

3:47 pm

Atalante

and then she swans off with Saatchi. Did her taste die with John?

3:49 pm

Haz1558

It's impossible to know, he is so private that you can't get any sense of what he is like. The little you do know doesn't paint a very endearing picture.

3:49 pm

Scrabbler

8 left, pe's and pi's

3:49 pm

Atalante

the funniest thing on the art series is that you see him from the back, shadowed, just for a second

3:50 pm

Joanne123

sorry haz not getting it

3:50 pm

Haz1558

A real eminence grise.

3:50 pm

Haz1558

The springtime Christian celebration begins in one direction...

3:51 pm

Haz1558

And it's not north.

3:52 pm

Joanne123

Haz1558

No, she usually snores through it. They're always well made and keep you engrossed to the end.

3:57 pm

Atalante

she's too intellectual to bother

3:58 pm

Haz1558

She could easily sniff out the criminals.

3:58 pm

Haz1558

Okay, off I go. See you tomorrow!

4:12 pm

Dorens

peri, i've b een without it my whole life

4:13 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Doren---simplifies Babble, list, chatting...

4:13 pm

Dorens

nrk, i think i got about 170 words in about half an hour. i'm sure it wasn't much more than that

4:14 pm

nrkii

but what was different from how you were doing it before?

4:14 pm

Dorens

put in word once, it ended up in babble list and lickety's list at same time.. never really looked at my word list, once i opened it, just looked at lickety's and the words came lickety split quick!

4:14 pm

nrkii

did you have the list open the whole time?

4:14 pm

periwinkle

nrkii, you have access to the first two letters of each word and a ressource tab. makes things go much faster

4:14 pm

periwinkle

lousy typing, but I am tired

4:14 pm

Dorens

just about.. wanted to see how it worked, and didn't have much free time at work. since i have mac at home, i can't use it here

4:14 pm

nrkii

but if you don't like to use the list until you're almost done, you can hide it, right?

4:15 pm

periwinkle

yes, you can. I don't start with the list open

4:16 pm

periwinkle

you can block out the list and chat if you want to

4:16 pm

Dorens

yes, at first i just entered the words in the babble part and every so often imported them to the lickety part, then I found out there is a window in which you can put them once and they go both places automatically... big time saver, and sometimes i really need that

4:17 pm

inge

ladies, when my computer got the virus and had to be cleaned up, I also lsot my babble expert. I cannot reach lickety for a replacement. It says that address in invalid, What is his valid address?

Our fireplace has a metal insert which keeps the heat better and is less polluting. On days with inversion layers we don't burn at all. We have electric wall heaters which are the type seen in England.

6:41 pm

jmcnrick

but we all have to start somewhere

6:41 pm

6:41 pm

KrisE

recognizing the desire to smack is probably the first step

6:41 pm

aknitter

6:41 pm

KrisE

or is it recognizing our powerlessness over the desire to smack?

6:42 pm

Aussieme

Hey Babblers :)

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

hi aussie

6:42 pm

Aussieme

Hey jmc :)

6:42 pm

I took a 30 minute nap at 7:00,but I'm still exhausted

7:53 pm

oh dear, Jilli. I didn't know you had the crud too! Take care and stay warm!

8:46 pm

8:46 pm

jillibus

Lots of fatigue too.

8:47 pm
