12:16 am

jillibus

12:19 am

dcseain

that lone N is a word that, to me is at best dialectal, and moving toward archaic

12:19 am

omaram09

ov8

12:19 am

dcseain

12:19 am

omaram09

glad to help :)

12:20 am

mrpresident

they can't get to him yet, but tomorrow looks more promising

12:21 am

pugmama763

ez compound

12:21 am

Trifioso

I agree DC - it is very rarely seen written, at the very least

12:21 am

jillibus

not obvious to me, as usual

12:21 am

VolleymomDee

how did he get the metal in his leg mrp? I bet you are anxious for them to get him out.

12:21 am

dcseain

quite so, trif, i've heard it spoken, usually in a store when shopping

12:21 am

mrpresident

the ov8 is one of those idiot compounds that I don't get the meaning of

12:21 am

dcseain

so the waters are re6ing?

12:22 am

jillibus

oh lol, got the ov8!

12:22 am

mrpresident

12:22 am

Aloyisius

12:23 am

dcseain

NBS?

12:23 am

jillibus

revocate looks like a word but isn't :(

12:24 am

Pinikula

nbs = no blank stats (have one from each word length)

12:24 am

dcseain

ah, okay. thanks

12:24 am

jillibus

same as nbt?

12:24 am

12:26 am

VolleymomDee

ca 6 x 2

12:26 am

jillibus

I see what you mean -- nbs here too

12:26 am

cybernan

what is nbs?

12:27 am

Pinikula

NBT = No Blank Tiles (Tiles Stats); NBS = No Blank Stats (Word Stats)

12:27 am

rbud

in this case, nbs could be achieved with only 5 words, am I right?

12:27 am

Pinikula

yes, rbud ;)

12:27 am

dcseain

correct, rbud

12:27 am

rbud

VolleymomDee

or ... move over a titch, so I can sit down LOL

12:52 am

cybernan

that af 7 has me stumped

12:52 am

westford

that is definitely a word dee

12:53 am

jillibus

I agree, dee, about titch

12:53 am

Trifioso

I have a scottish friend, and she refers to drinks as "titches" - esp. gin and tonics, for some reason....

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

a + past tense of being scared ... the child f.... the black spider

12:53 am

westford

thanks dee !!

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

ty jili & west... we babblers hereby proclaim that "titch" is a word!

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

yw

12:54 am

westford

that af word is mountain william

12:54 am

jillibus

ty for the af7, dee

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

thot it was synonymous with "scooch"

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

yw

12:54 am

cybernan

ty dee

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

yw

12:55 am

westford

the af doesn't have a present tense

12:55 am

dcseain

wiktionary defines titch as : A very small person; a small child; a small amount

12:55 am

dcseain

probably from Scots, Geordie, or related Danelaw area dialect.

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

ty dc... exactly... move over a titch, a small amount

12:56 am

westford

we should be using that in here then

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

oooh, I agree jili

12:57 am

westford

is too !! lol

12:57 am

rbud

I feel robbed - can't make an 8 word by putting "far" in front of fe5/20, guess it's only used in the past tense

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

VolleymomDee

African Grey's have a really clear voice and he just learnt words on his own - he would ring the phone then answer and babble away waving his foot about then say okay bye and make the sound of the phone being put down - quite amazing

2:11 am

MPittore

this one learned to bark 2 different barks...one a close by bark and the other a distant bark...owners said it was by listening to neighborhood sounds all day...but I think he got the swearing from his home LOL we were so embarssed but we were 2 hrs from home so had to just laugh about it

2:12 am

grannyrose

reminds me of a camping holiday we had with our then 4 year old. we saw such incredible things. mountains, beaches, trees, gorges, wildlife. atr then end, we stopped for fuel and noticed that one tire was flat. as my then hubby was looking at it , some bright spark commented " you've got a flat tyre. as hubby said later " what an a***hole!"

when we arrived home we went to see his parents. the first thing my darling 4 year old said was " guess what we saw. an a***hole" i could have died

2:13 am

MPittore

Byrdie makes odd up and down motions with his foot also...I think it's an inherent motion but my son's friends made quite a few risky comments about it.

2:15 am

MPittore

granny...that is so funny...kids are priceless!

2:15 am

jillibus

2:19 am

MPittore

I didn't listen to Howard too much a little too dirty and not enough funny for me...but my husband listened to him...I liked the Greaseman...but he slipped and made a joke that got him kicked off the air...so many of them slip up and go to far such a shame because he was mostly funny and no swearing

2:20 am

westford

I agree mpit it's all about the ratings

2:22 am

5:21 am

montreal13

5:22 am

elder

TESTING testing. !!!!.. I have called the Police and told them of this heinous crime.

5:22 am

Haz1558

Goodness, there's montreal with little sleep, lynxx with too much wine, Haz having escaped from a hostage situation. Elder, what's been happening in your neck of the woods.

5:22 am

elder

Hello Mont and Lynxx.

5:23 am

Haz1558

5:24 am

'giggles'

5:24 am

almost scandalous hazel...

5:25 am

Haz1558

Poor Stew! We're all feeling a bit discombobulated. (I feel my strength returning, didn't even have to check the dictionary for that dis word)

5:25 am

elder

Haz, are you in attention seeking mode, yet again:) priceless it made me laugh out loud to the extent that I could not initally type.

5:26 am

Haz1558

I was just hoping that someone else would be around. The log was silent for over 3 hours I think.

5:26 am

Flask1

elder

Haz are you also our monitor for time and lapses.

5:27 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Flask. I'm grateful that you'd spend your money on me. If you're still feeling generous, I could start up the Haz Holiday Fund. A worthy cause, I assure you!

5:27 am

elder

Hello Flask.

5:28 am

Scrabbler

Good morning/day to all. Monty--good to see you. How have you been?

5:30 am

elder

Haz, I have just had this image of you cleaning away, cooking etc with plugs /wires in ears linked to Babble..a bell going off when someone enters or wants a clue and you dash to the screen, ripping off marigolds as you fly across the room :)

5:30 am

Scrabbler

I love the word "albeit" but haven't thought of it in a long time....*note to self: use "albeit" in conversation soon.*

5:31 am

elder

Haz, I knew it.:)

5:32 am

Scrabbler

5:32 am

montreal13

well tx scrabbs, I actually managed to use it today...1st time this year...lol

5:32 am

Haz1558

What I need is a laptop with a carrying handle that I could put round my neck (think old-fashioned cinema usherettes and their ice-cream trays). That way, I could babble on the move.

5:33 am

elder

Haz AKA - Miss Marple.

5:33 am

Flask1

lmao......hyper-sensitive is what you are Haz!

5:33 am

elder

5:33 am

montreal13

5:34 am

Scrabbler

Good job, Monty--you got it in before the calendar flipped over--let's use lots of smartypants words today like: nevertheless, nonetheless, ergo...

Hi Bo!

5:36 am

elder

Ah, Mr Haz.. at times he must be pleased to go out on visits just to get way from the madness.

5:36 am

Haz1558

Scrabbler, husband was reminiscing yesterday about a vet he used to work with. They had competitions to see who could work in a particular word into their surgery consultations. So owners with dogs with diarrhoea would find themselves being asked 'Is your dog pruritic? (it4/6y?)

5:36 am

7:39 am

sprite

We used to have neighbours, when I was very small, whose last name was Olie (Oil). Dad's name was Peter. And the darn guy named his daughter Petra. It borders on criminal behaviour!

9:30 am

beachboggle

hi Haz, Nonnie

9:30 am

harpjane

the switch over to the gregorian calendar

9:30 am

Hi Nonnie

if you are impacted, it has to be manually disimpacted

Oh Lord OOdle!!

Haz1558

Hello, hego and Nonnie and beach and all other interested/interesting parties.

9:30 am

supository and a whole pack of fig newtons;)

9:30 am

hego

Try a Fleet enema

9:31 am

oodleberry

I'M sorry

9:31 am

beachboggle

I think that is a TMI situation

9:31 am

Haz1558

LIquid paraffin, just don't set it alight.

9:31 am

harpjane

tmi.....

9:31 am

beachboggle

too much cheesecake, oodle

9:31 am

hego

Parafin, Haz? All my years of nursing I never heard that!

9:32 am

kje

if just constipation, and it has been persistent, I think I would try lactulose - take 30cc every 4 hours until you stool... then you will stool until clear

9:32 am

beachboggle

fleet

9:32 am

kje

no paraffin...

9:32 am

oodleberry

oh well I guess it wasn't that bad then I did it with suppositories... it was last night and MAN what a day that was... but finally and did I have to push... again sorry everyone

9:32 am

NonnieLight

Sorry oodle...hope you get some relief soon.

9:32 am

crosshair

lol hego,ive heard of parrafin..for cows..to be ingested to remove hairballs lol

9:32 am

Haz1558

Or is it cooking oil?

9:32 am

hego

Definitely TMI

9:32 am

oodleberry

lactulose ... by perscription?

9:33 am

kje

the key now, is prevent it from recurring... start a bowel regimen - would start with colace twice daily with 2 senna before bed... usually enough to keep you regular

9:33 am

Haz1558

Cooking oil for dogs, I know that. Just a little.

9:33 am

kje

I think you can get lactulose OTC

9:33 am

kje

well, I have no idea actually what you get OTC in canada

9:33 am

crosshair

and enough fibre that you fart dust lol

9:33 am

oodleberry

I have had it before and i just have to watch my intake of cheese vs fiber

9:33 am

NonnieLight

Atalante

Haz1558

A miracle of veterinary medicine!

9:36 am

oodleberry

thank you kje

9:37 am

Atalante

it was the vet love that did it really, of course

9:37 am

kje

oodle - still, the best thing is to avoid getting that way to begin with, start a regular bowel regimen

9:37 am

inge

I have trouble spotting my icon. I am so used to RED

9:37 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. They have extra training in dogbedside manners.

9:37 am

NonnieLight

Hello inge!

9:37 am

Atalante

if you want the convo to go downhill from Oodle's, I can happily tell you about my dream last night

9:38 am

oodleberry

I just ate too much cheese... and need more fiber... and water ...didn't watch it

9:38 am

Atalante

but still! 13 days. that's a lot of antibios for a small dog. must have been a particularly tenacious infection

9:38 am

Haz1558

How can I be diplomatic?

9:38 am

kje

LOL - we'll accept that challenge, ata

9:38 am

oodleberry

so yes ty kje

9:38 am

hego

there is no downhill from Oodle's.

9:38 am

kje

if for no other reason, to get some ammo - LOL

9:38 am

Haz1558

Or, to quote Victoria Wood's Kitty 'What would the Queen mum do?'

9:39 am

9:39 am

Atalante

9:39 am

9:41 am

Atalante

*sigh*

9:41 am

Haz1558

kje must not want to hear your dream. Are the rest of us non-squeamish enough to cope?

9:42 am

Haz1558

Is it gory?

9:42 am

Dorens

i'd love to hear it ata (and have spent the last ten minutes trying to figure out how to get pictures from my droid phone onto the computer... sorry... the mangroves are here but i just can't share)

9:42 am

Atalante

no more than anything you hear from Mr Haz!!

9:42 am

inge

In Germany this day is called Sylesterabend. He was today

9:42 am

Haz1558

You can rely on Dorens, I've always said that.

9:42 am

inge

patron saint, I guess

9:43 am

Haz1558

Oh well, I'm used to hearing all sorts of things, usually at meal times. It's the others I'm worried about.

9:43 am

Atalante

lol, I was obviously talking to sister too much yesterday. dreamt that I had this spot just behind my collarbone, and I squeezed it and the normal spot gunk came out, then I squeezed it again, and this huge wave of pus with mouldy bits floating in it came out (you know like the mould rafts that end up floating on old tea?) and after cleaning it up there was a clear passage straight down from my collar bone area to my heart, I could see it beating (that's straight from sister! - you can see her heart beating through her major wound). Anyway, so I thought I'd better go to hospital, adn got patched up and ended up on Project Runway. but ew!!

9:43 am

Dorens

went through four years of med school, etc with ex husband... and my son as well

9:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hey, we have a relevant word for the period that's ending tonight!

9:43 am

hego

Dorens, where are you?

9:43 am

Atalante

I wouldn't say that, Kaplan ...

9:43 am

Haz1558

And did you win Project Runway?

9:44 am

Haz1558

This is debatable, Kaplan, harpjane doesn't agree that it's the end of one.

9:44 am

Dorens

i'm in saniel.... and that is such an interesting, analyzable dream ata!

9:44 am

Atalante

woke up just as the final was going to start LOL

9:44 am

Dorens

sorry... saniBel (fl). and i've never watched project runway, so that part is beyond me

9:44 am

Atalante

I very rarely have dreams that relate so clearly to sister. very odd

9:44 am

Haz1558

But you got to the final. I say the mouldy bits are the parts of your life you want rid of.

9:44 am

hego

Kaplan's got Maynard G Krebs!!!

9:45 am

inge

Bye, Happy New Year to all

9:45 am

I think we're on the same wavelegth Kap

9:46 am

Dorens

thoroughly enjoying it hego. and bonus... was supposed to rain today and it isn't.. home to snow tomorrow though

9:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

I wonder what wavelength that might be?

9:47 am

hego

The weird one. ;-)

9:47 am

Haz1558

wavelength would yield lots of babble points.

9:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

You betcha, as Sarah would say.

9:47 am

oodleberry

if the wave length is of Facebook it is the Twilight wavelength

9:48 am

oodleberry

you are NEVER in contro of your computer... you give up that right everytime you log in

9:49 am

hego

Same era anyway. Soupy and Maynard, etc.

9:49 am

Dorens

can anyone tell me simply how to upload photos from cell phone to computer?

9:49 am

Atalante

how is La Glitterata? Is she getting New Year's Eve treats?

9:49 am

hego

Not me

9:50 am

Haz1558

La Glitteratainellarinabellindarina is well - hoping that there won't be any fireworks!

9:50 am

Atalante

awwww does she howl?

9:50 am

Haz1558

She bolts under the desk and refuses to move.

9:50 am

oodleberry

all I know is that you need a wire going from your phone to your computer

9:51 am

Atalante

poor darling!

9:51 am

oodleberry

I do it from my camera to my computer but I am prompted once I am connected

9:52 am

Dorens

i have a wire.. but not seeing any prompts. well the mangrove pics will have to wait until i'm home and have my son to help out... he is whiz at this... ken and I are NOT

9:52 am

SeaSpray

cell phone to computer dorens, do you have a card in your cell phone?

9:53 am

Dorens

i'm pretty sure i do seaspray

9:53 am

oodleberry

well my guess the prompts will be on your cell phone and not your puter as they are on my camera

9:53 am

Dorens

but my iphone doesn't seem to know that there are pictures plugged in right now

9:54 am

SeaSpray

mine has a miniature sd card, you have to move the photos to that card and then there is an adaptor that you... oh, mine is not a iphone, nm sorry

9:54 am

EvaNadine

*apologies for saying hello + disappearing -- mother-darling always calls at just the right time!*

9:54 am

Haz1558

You've got an iphone? You're really trendy, Dorens. They look complicated.

9:55 am

SeaSpray

daughters fiance has one, i could ask him if you like

9:55 am

Haz1558

You're forgiven, EvaN. Always speak to your mother, you'll find she's right about most things.

9:56 am

Atalante

mine isn't

9:56 am

oodleberry

this is what I got from answers.com : With an Iphone, all you need is an ipod/iphone usb cable. You plug it in to tour computer, and there's a couple different folders. One of them has all your pictures stored on them. From there you just copy and paste.

9:56 am

Dorens

(it is a droid, not an iphone)-- meant to say my macbook doesn't know... but i've just found that the droid did give me a prompt.. just didn't know where to look. it IS a complicated phone

9:57 am

Norma

Can anyone clue the re7 please

9:57 am

SeaSpray

i am lucky to operate the phone i have lol

9:57 am

oodleberry

ohhh

9:58 am

Haz1558

Let me think. (let me google)

9:59 am

Haz1558

9:59 am

Haz1558

The one who is good but doesn't look so hot?

9:59 am

Dorens

9:59 am

Norma

Atalante

Hurshy would be so disappointed

10:00 am

Dorens

10:00 am

10:02 am

EvaNadine

10:02 am

Atalante

10:02 am

Dorens

10:03 am

Atalante

oodleberry

Dorens

10:03 am

Haz1558

I've confessed before that I've never watched ANY of the Star Wars films nor Star Trek nor Lord of the Rings.

10:03 am

Judi

Hi, Oodle. *accepts being thrust aside by smugness*

10:04 am

Haz1558

See you, Dorens.

10:04 am

oodleberry

10:04 am

oodleberry

10:04 am

oodleberry

10:05 am

Atalante

especially LotR, they have pretty music and pretty scenery

10:05 am

Judi

Your are not smug, oodle. Haz was attempting to be smug. Ata fainted from temporarily having the smugness sucked out of her airspace.

10:06 am

EvaNadine

i havent seen any of the originals since i was a wee lass. and i never saw any of the prequels.
*said very quickly + hides under a rock to escape the wrath of Ata*

10:06 am

oodleberry

oh ok

10:06 am

Haz1558

Yes, but all those names and characters and general weirdness. Is it worth the scenery for that?

10:06 am

Atalante

bad Haz

10:06 am

Judi

I know. The dynamics are just so complicated.

10:06 am

Atalante

honestly? yes

10:06 am

Atalante

CSI has more names and complications!

10:07 am

Haz1558

But that's because you like it. I need to speak to an impartial source.

10:07 am

Haz1558

CSI has pretty people!

10:07 am

Judi

Oh, ata. Your poor dog and the cone of shame. She looks mortified.

10:08 am

Atalante

my mum loved the films and she loathed the books

10:08 am

Atalante

the Cone of Shame is no more :D

10:08 am

Atalante

so does LotR!!!

10:08 am

Judi

I'm off. Time for brunch. BBL.

10:08 am

Haz1558

See you later, Judi.

10:08 am

Atalante

LotR has pretty horses

10:09 am

oodleberry

ok break time

10:09 am

Haz1558

But does it not have those small hairy people as well?

10:09 am

Atalante

I swore I would never see the films, and that I would hate them all. I absolutely adored them

10:09 am

oodleberry

temporary poof

10:09 am

Atalante

yes, but you should be used to that in NI

10:10 am

Haz1558

I know. That's true.

10:10 am

Haz1558

Harry Potter passed me by as well. I may as well get all the confessions out in the open.

10:10 am

Atalante

I haven't seen half the HP films either

10:11 am

Atalante

nor the new star trek ones

10:12 am

Haz1558

And how are you doing with the grid?

10:12 am

Atalante

but out of all the films you haevnt seen, Haz, I would expect that you could actually enjoy the LotR ones

10:12 am

10:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

My daughter was the right age for waiting impatiently for each new HP-she said it was like her generation's Beatles.

10:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

I say not really

10:14 am

hego

Haz has not read HP. I'm surprised!

10:15 am

Sally-catlover

Good afternoon/whatever everyone.

10:15 am

Atalante

hi Sally!

10:15 am

hego

Hi Sally

10:16 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Ata! and hego!

10:16 am

Haz1558

No, hego, it hasn't appealed although it has captured the imagination of young and not so young.

10:17 am

hego

as one of the not so, I have to say I loved them. Just good stories.

10:17 am

Sally-catlover

Looks back in chog. I read the first HP for education, and I have to say I thoiught it was a very good concept but very badly written. The films were good though.

10:17 am

hego

Bought me back to my Lewis Carroll days.

10:17 am

Haz1558

A friend credits HP for encouraging her son to re4 when he had steadfastly turned his back on everything else.

10:18 am

hego

I loved her sense of humor, Sally.

10:18 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, it was just the actual writing I didn't like. The films of course brought it to life, thoiugh I haven't seen all of them.

10:19 am

hego

But I've always adored the Brit sense of humor.

10:19 am

Sally-catlover

A friend of mine has HP in Latin, and I might try one of those just for fun.

10:20 am

Haz1558

I don't think my O-level Latin would be sufficient for tackling Harrius Potterus.

10:20 am

crosshair

my mrs love harry potter series

10:20 am

Atalante

HP has done a lot of good, if it's still not the best writing or anything

10:20 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps I should give them another go.

10:20 am

hego

How is Elegant?

10:20 am

10:22 am

Haz1558

I'd have to revise my declensions. Painful at my age, though I have to say that learning by rote has its good points, I can still rhyme off Latin verbs.

10:22 am

Haz1558

Good morning, specificity.

10:23 am

EvaNadine

Haz1558

Well, if everyone's happy, go for it!

10:27 am

10:57 am

EvaNadine

i kinda wish chris felt that way!
he keeps saying he wants to voice his opinion, but when i ask for it, he doesnt give it to me. i have to beat him over the head with something before he tells me anything!
would be much easier if he didnt care. ;)

The truths which are ultimately accepted as the first principles of a science, are really the last results of metaphysical analysis, practised on the elementary notions with which the science is conversant;

Atalante

LOL my new year's greeting on FB is the following:
I suppose I should add my voice to the choruses of "Happy New Year". May 2010 bring everyone all they dreamed of. Though always be careful what wish for ;) This may include some of all of the following: a TV series, cocker spaniels, new housemates, men who aren't an hour and a half late for meals, new kittens, health, ...ability to find babblets and the ability to understand enable. I realise, of course, that the last is an impossibility :)

5:27 pm

5:27 pm

stidmama

YAY Mary!

5:27 pm

5:27 pm

jmcnrick

5:28 pm

Mary

ty all, jmc aren't you cooking?

5:28 pm

jmcnrick

heres some champagne and some chocolite stiddie

5:28 pm

jmcnrick

*cowering*

5:28 pm

stidmama

we got a notice from the stidkid's college that he needed to pay a fee or be dropped from all his classes. I gave the paper to TOM to pay... was told he had done it. HE HADN'T. AND NOW..... *shaky voice* ARRRRRRRR!

5:28 pm

jmcnrick

not me mary!

5:28 pm

Mary

too cute, bye all

5:28 pm

jmcnrick

my boy is going out -- I'm eatung leftov4s

5:28 pm

stidmama

I had the time and the ability to have taken care of this if TOM HAD ONLY LET ME KNOW!

5:28 pm

stidmama

classes start on Tuesday for the kiddo.

5:29 pm

stidmama

later Mary.

5:29 pm

jmcnrick

so you pay it on monday and he reregisters

5:29 pm

stidmama

and now it is too late for me to do anything about it until next Monday.

5:29 pm

stidmama

It's going to be a big hassle. He's a running start student (the state pays for him to take classes while in high school). So we can't just waltz in and do it.

5:30 pm

jmcnrick

my son reregistered multiple times because his financial aid was always getting screwed up

5:30 pm

stidmama

blast it all... *whimper*

5:30 pm

Andree

you know you will have to kill Tom

5:31 pm

Andree

we will all be here to give you an alabi

5:31 pm

stidmama

I know it's possible, jmc. It's just that none of the facilities are in easy walking distance from the parking for me. It's a HASSLE. And it should have been a no-brainer -- log into the website, pay by credit card.

5:31 pm

jmcnrick

so he isn't even going to fall behind in college because he is not in college yet

5:31 pm

stidmama

LOL Andree!!!! *considers merits of this idea*

5:31 pm

Gail

I went through several kinds of hell when my daughter was in college and her father was busy messing up everything.

5:31 pm

jmcnrick

he is at evergreen too?

5:32 pm

jmcnrick

my son messed things up just fine without a father

5:32 pm

Gail

I got so crzy one time I threw the phone on the floor and stomped on it until it shattered. I felt much better after I did that.

5:32 pm

jmcnrick

hi gail

5:32 pm

stidmama

no, the community college. Evergreen doesn't do running start (if they did, I would know who to call and how to get things done)

5:32 pm

Gail

Hi.

5:32 pm

stidmama

hey gail. at least I am not the only one.

5:33 pm

jmcnrick

i had to drive 8 hours to Asheville with a herniated disk so the drive took 12 hours to fix my sons tuition one fall

5:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

co6/30 please?

5:33 pm

Gail

Her senior year, they decided I had to go with goverment loans and they used a different credit bureau and found a debt he hadn't paid and I lost all her funding.

5:33 pm

jmcnrick

but it was the school that screwed it up

5:33 pm

stidmama

oh no jmc. that is awful.

5:33 pm

stidmama

gee gail, that's rotten!

5:33 pm

jmcnrick

TO I always wanted a a red convertable co***tt*

5:33 pm

stidmama

5:34 pm

5:34 pm

jmcnrick

*curtsies*

5:34 pm

Gail

But after I got a new phone, I called the place he owed the money to and they fixed it up for me and we got in done the day before classes began.

5:35 pm

stidmama

brb phone

5:35 pm

jmcnrick

good job gail

5:35 pm

stidmama

good for you gail.

5:36 pm

Gail

I got lucky and got a woman who looked into it and said that just because he was a jerk, we shouldn't have to pay, so she fixed it all. She didn't have to do it, but she just did. I almost fainted.

5:36 pm

stidmama

that was so kind of her. It's nice to run into people like that!

5:37 pm

jmcnrick

i find you can often find someone to help if you are clear and polite

5:37 pm

Gail

It so rarely happens, it was really a miracle when we needed one.

5:38 pm

Gail

Yep, staying calm and polite usually works. If not, then I lose it and scream at them.

5:38 pm

jmcnrick

i have learned to up it with speaking tersely and clearly

5:39 pm

stidmama

5:40 pm

stidmama

hey jill. yes. I suspect Tom is feeling pretty rotten about it right now. I called him, told him to call the college and find out how to re-enroll the kiddo. I was REALLY MAD

5:40 pm

jmcnrick

hb jill

5:41 pm

jmcnrick

well if he does that you can't kill him

5:41 pm

5:42 pm

Gail

My ex left the middle of my daughter's freshman year of college and told her he didn't care if she finished school, his girlfriend's kids were more important. I made up my mind she would stay in school and I got her through, and then he shows up for her graduation acting like he did it all.

5:43 pm

stidmama

sounds like you were well rid of him gail!

5:43 pm

Gail

Yes, I was. His girlfriend dumped him once she had him.

5:44 pm
