2:45 am

westford

are you enjoying nice weather ruby?

2:46 am

rubyfoo

it got very cold again, so I'm worried for the daffs and tulips which are a couple of inches up

2:46 am

rubyfoo

sunny, though

2:47 am

westford

they're pretty hardy

2:47 am

westford

envy your nice long Spring

2:47 am

rubyfoo

after years of living in upstate NY where there was virtually no spring, this is a pleasure

2:48 am

westford

I don't think our winter is ever going to end

2:48 am

rubyfoo

this felt long, too, but we've had much less snow than other places, so I can't complain

2:49 am

rubyfoo

shire

2:49 am

rubyfoo

hire

2:49 am

rubyfoo

oops, pb for me, more coffee, I hope

2:49 am

westford

oops ruby

2:49 am

rubyfoo

I am still tired from yesterdasy's long trek to Lausanne for dr's appts

2:50 am

westford

all's well I hope

2:50 am

rubyfoo

no excuse, though....*blushing*

2:50 am

rubyfoo

just eye checkups for both of us

2:52 am

westford

no good eye docs close by?

2:52 am

rubyfoo

6 months' wait for new patients and husband has major eye problems and needs a top guy

2:52 am

rubyfoo

he has to go twice a year

2:52 am

rubyfoo

for me, it's just 2-year checkups

2:53 am

westford

good that he has a good doc then

2:53 am

westford

did you get some chocolates while you were out? lol

2:54 am

rubyfoo

when we go there, we stock up on veal sausage and cottage cheese, believe it or not. Can't get cottage cheese here

2:54 am

rubyfoo

had a great Italian lunch, though

2:55 am

westford

I wonder why?

2:55 am

westford

about the cottage cheese I mean

2:55 am

rubyfoo

I think the French don't eat it

2:55 am

westford

now I want some

2:55 am

rubyfoo

I eat it with my home-made jam

2:56 am

rubyfoo

what kind of jam do you like? I'll send some, lol

2:56 am

westford

my favorite is strawberry

2:56 am

rubyfoo

sorry, we don't have strawberries in the garden. I make blackberry, plum and red currant jelly

2:57 am

westford

any and all of them I'm not fussy

2:57 am

westford

surprised you don't have strawberries

2:57 am

rubyfoo

my favorite is the currant

2:57 am

westford

seems like they'd grow wild

2:57 am

rubyfoo

the easiest is plum

2:58 am

rubyfoo

I don't both with quince because it's too much work

2:58 am

westford

we have quinces at our last house strange fruit

2:59 am

rubyfoo

I like to draw them and the years when they aren't rotten, I keep them in a big bowl in the kitchen for their fragrance

2:59 am

westford

no fruit trees or plants here wish we did

3:00 am

westford

did you have any fruit growing on your property or did you start from scratch?

3:00 am

rubyfoo

when we bought the house, and before we moved here, I put in 9 fruit trees, fruit shrubs and other trees (tulip, maples, Japanese maples), so that now, after 11 years, the garden is mature and very nice

3:01 am

westford

it is beautiful

3:01 am

rubyfoo

there was almost no garden, just grass and some big pines on th edge with some shrubbery underneath.

3:01 am

lynxxx

My mother used to make quince and apple pie which ws delicious. Quinch jelly is very popular here at the moment too, very denseand eaten with cheese

3:01 am

westford

you must have the patience of a saint

3:02 am

lynxxx

...and very green thumb

3:02 am

rubyfoo

it's my first garden, so it was a great experience

3:02 am

rubyfoo

made a lot of mistakes but, overall, it's beautiful, and not French at all

3:03 am

rubyfoo

sort of an English garden via Martha Stewart, all taken from books

3:03 am

westford

but you still have to love it and have a good eye

3:03 am

lynxxx

You sound justifiably proud

3:04 am

rubyfoo

my "trick" was limiting the colors and having swaths of stuff, rather than a little of this an a little of that

3:04 am

westford

our yard is chock full and doesn't seem to have a rhyme or reason

3:04 am

rubyfoo

if anybody wants to see pictures, send me an e-mail and I can send lots of photos of the garden

3:04 am

westford

I'd love to clear it all out and start fresh

3:05 am

westford

you sent me pictures ruby and I was blown away it's absolutely gorgeous!!

3:06 am

rubyfoo

the house is painted salmon with burgundy shuters (it was white with dark green when we bought it), so the garden is all shades of pink, rose, red, salmon, violet and blue with a little bit of white. No yellow (except the daffs and primroses which were here along the driveway). It makes a big difference

3:06 am

rubyfoo

thank you, westie

3:07 am

westford

most of our houses have been white with green shutters

3:08 am

westford

this one is light grey with black shutters and white trim

3:08 am

rubyfoo

this was a sad house when we bought it, fortunately when the dollar was still worth anything, but my husband let me do whatever I wanted, inside and out

3:08 am

rubyfoo

that sounds beautiful. What colors do you have in the garden?

3:09 am

rubyfoo

You could do a whole yellow and orange garden and it would be fabulous!

3:10 am

westford

right now it's dark and dreary but we have irises, daffs, tulips, hydrangea, lillies of the valley

3:10 am

westford

trouble is nothing lasts more than a couple of weeks

3:11 am

westford

and there are rhododendrons

3:11 am

westford

not a peep from any of it yet

3:11 am

rubyfoo

I never put in iris although it's one of my favorite flowers. They have such short lives and then the leaves are hard to hide. We have hydrangeas around the side of the house which were here, but as they are not visible, I use them for cutting/

3:12 am

rubyfoo

what color are your hydrangeas? I can't get mine to be blue as it's too acid here

3:12 am

westford

our hydrangea is white and huge we cut it back every fall and it comes back bigger than ever

3:12 am

westford

if they start out white they stay white you can turn blue to pink and vice versa

3:13 am

rubyfoo

mine, too, and it's wonderful for cutting. The red ones are skimpy and don't get enough rain

3:13 am

rubyfoo

I tried to change the pink and red ones, but nothing happened and I lacked the patience

3:13 am

westford

I do have a small plant of lace cap hydrangea and I love it

3:13 am

rubyfoo

I love the hite ones for cutting

3:13 am

rubyfoo

are those the pointy ones?

3:14 am

westford

kind of have a blue center and white petals around the edge

3:14 am

rubyfoo

I've never seen those

3:14 am

westford

let me see if I have a picture

3:15 am

lynxxx

aluminium sulphate is supposed to be good to 'blue' hydrangea

3:15 am

rubyfoo

could you send a picture? or if I wan't so lazy, I would look them up

3:15 am

rubyfoo

I would like to see a photo of the house!

3:15 am

westford

going to put it in my profile

3:15 am

lynxxx

I like the lace cap too

3:15 am

rubyfoo

I bought the stuff, but the soil is so acid it would need too much attention and I'd rather play word games! lol

3:17 am

westford

okay, put it in

3:17 am

westford

you might have to refresh but try clicking on the icon first

3:21 am

westford

can you see it ruby?

3:21 am

lynxxx

I can - very pretty

3:22 am

rubyfoo

just saw it and it's beautiful!

3:22 am

rubyfoo

I have a stupid question: does refesh mean re-boot? I just did, but it took several minutes

3:23 am

rubyfoo

my hydrangeas are much less fancy!

3:23 am

lynxxx

hit F5 Ruby for refresh

3:24 am

rubyfoo

thank you. I never knew what it meant and was too embarrassed to ask. I am very poor at all this

3:24 am

westford

not sure ruby I have a mac so all I do is click on the little arrow in the title bar

3:24 am

westford

I'm not an expert at any of this

3:24 am

rubyfoo

I never could get my icon in; ata did it for me. And now I would like to change it to put Max in, but can't seem to make it work. I think the format is wrong

3:25 am

rubyfoo

this is what happens when our generation tries to join the space age!

3:25 am

lynxxx

Refresh just re-opens the window you are on (Babble) . ReBoot would restart everything. I probably will be corrected on this though!

3:26 am

westford

I put the picture I want to change to on the desk top and then click choose

3:26 am

westford

first go to my account

3:26 am

rubyfoo

I'll try it again after I do the French taxes, a job I've been putting off for a month!

3:27 am

westford

then click on edit under the picture

3:28 am

westford

then go to option 2 and choose file which will be the picture on your desktop then hit upload

3:28 am

westford

that's the way I do it and it works for me

3:29 am

rubyfoo

I've tried all that and couldn't make it work. Is there some way of changing the format of the photos in your photo file?

3:29 am

rubyfoo

I think they are rectangles and that's where the problem is

3:29 am

westford

I'm not sure I just find it easier to drag the picture to the desktop

3:30 am

westford

but I have very little knowledge of PC's

3:30 am

westford

macs are user friendly or I'd be lost

3:30 am

lynxxx

being rectangles wouldn't be the problem, Babble just squashes it

3:30 am

rubyfoo

mine isn't a mac... :( who knew?

3:31 am

westford

I'm going to change back to Nibbles Woodaway brb

3:31 am

westford

most people here have PC's so someone should be able to help

3:31 am

rubyfoo

see you later, ladies, if I don't get to work, Mr. Nasty will start in again....

3:31 am

lynxxx

bye Ruby

3:32 am

rubyfoo

3:57 am

Haz1558

You might need to refresh, or click on the profile.

3:57 am

herinfernallady

O right. And I do love the Book title thing in your profile

3:57 am

Haz1558

Crosshair didn't realise that it was the shortest books in the world and didn't want to be associated with banning bacon!

3:57 am

rubyfoo

3:58 am

herinfernallady

Awww poor crossie

3:58 am

Haz1558

I still think he feels uncomfortable about it.

3:58 am

Haz1558

Hello ruby.

3:58 am

herinfernallady

Poor Ruby. The b.f had a months work of paperwork dumped on his desk 2 days a ago to be done in half a day

3:59 am

rubyfoo

pizza and a margarita sound a lot better than a frosty walk!!!

3:59 am

rubyfoo

it was starting to be spring, but now it's cold again

4:00 am

rubyfoo

my husband won't touch paperwork, especially taxes (and French ones, to boot). Leaves it all to me

4:00 am

rubyfoo

and then is annoyed when I procrastinate

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Ruby Paperwork is the bane of existance

4:01 am

Haz1558

Well, I'd better get myself organised and get on with my day. Painting the kitchen ceiling isn't exactly on my list of favourite occupations but it has to be done. Bye for now!

4:01 am

Atalante

4:08 am

herinfernallady

ATA

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I think if it's chocolate-y enough, he won't taste it!

4:09 am

herinfernallady

Why use arsenic when you can use deadly nightshade (I didn't say that)

4:09 am

rubyfoo

hah, I just remembered the ea4 babblet!

4:11 am

Atalante

LOL I can even get deadly nightshade from the fields here in a month or two!

4:11 am

herinfernallady

Rolls eyes Ata no bad ata

Atalante

4:17 am

herinfernallady

Seriously Ata kids today hurt my head with how fast they work things out

4:18 am

Atalante

I'm just as bad. Never read instruction manuals

4:18 am

herinfernallady

You sound like my mum but do you then whinge when it doesn't work?

4:18 am

Atalante

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

I see that my county is almost in the grid.

4:36 am

Atalante

hi sally

4:36 am

Atalante

so it is!

4:44 am

Atalante

how far are you from Carding mill Valley, sally?

4:46 am

Sally-catlover

About 20 miles, Ata. It's a beautiful spot. Have you been there?

4:49 am

Atalante

many many times, it was always a big treat to go there - I spent a lot of my holidays with my grandparents near Newport

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

Good place for small children to get wet and happy, sloshing in the streams.

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

Fantastic views.

4:51 am

Atalante

yep! I can just remember rolling and rolling down the hillside lol

4:52 am

Atalante

then we always had lunch or dinner at the Long Mynd to revive my poor worn-out grandparents :)

4:52 am

kje

gm

4:53 am

Atalante

hi!

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

lol Ata, and gm kje

4:54 am

kje

mandarins and coffee in the morning... is anything better?

4:55 am

Atalante

mandarins adn no coffee!

4:55 am

Sally-catlover

Depends whether you mean the fruit or the Chinese officials, kje!

4:56 am

kje

no...absolutely no! coffee is the integral start to a good day... don't make me go all tea party on you ; )

4:56 am

Atalante

it makes me very very ill!

4:56 am

Sally-catlover

By the way, the Long Mynd hotel is still there, Ata.

4:56 am

kje

LOL sally - not sure what the chinese officals taste like, so will stick with the fruit

4:56 am

Atalante

I haven't been there since the big fire!

5:05 am

Atalante

I don't think I like this grid

5:06 am

kje

i was just thinking the same thing... over 200, yet all the words are coming somewhat slowly

5:06 am

kje

weird, nothing seems related much

5:06 am

Atalante

nooo

5:07 am

Sally-catlover

I don't like it all all. Only half way, and very slow.

5:07 am

kje

sloooooooooooooooooooow

5:07 am

Atalante

gosh, glad it's not just me!

5:08 am

kje

did you think you had gone senile?

5:08 am

Atalante

something like that lol

5:08 am

kje

it can be a short step sometimes...so be careful

5:11 am

Atalante

and I'm trying to watch LOst at the same time, so my brain is getting doubly fried

5:12 am

kje

omg! i can't do anything else while watcjing lost!

5:13 am

kje

and this week kicks ass! gotta watch it ata... dump babble

5:13 am

Atalante

I'm a week behind, so I'm watching last week's in time for Lost tonight

5:14 am

kje

i watched the first 5 seasons via netflix... in about 2 weeks! so this one show per week thing is realing sucking

5:15 am

kje

prelit not a word???? hmmm

5:15 am

kje

really, not realing lol

5:15 am

Atalante

LOL, I admit that I prefer watching a series at a time. So much more fun that way

5:16 am

kje

especially something like lost where there are so many little details to catch

5:16 am

Atalante

Locke better start being nice to Richard soon or I'll sulk

5:17 am

kje

which episode are you watching?

5:19 am

Atalante

3rd one I think cos I couldn't remember what happened in it. Locke's just met Hurley after being kicked out of his job

5:19 am

kje

wow, so you are 3 episodes back

5:20 am

Atalante

we're always a week behind!

5:21 am

kje

so you can only see thru episode 5 today?

5:21 am

kje

episode 6 aired tuesday...

5:22 am

kje

i have never seen although spelled that way....

5:22 am

Atalante

yep, and new episode tonight

5:23 am

kje

sympathies ata... i am one day late as it is since i watch via hulu, not on tv... the agony of the wait

5:23 am

Atalante

we used to be about 3 weeks behind in the first few seasons, so it's getting better

5:24 am

kje

such a silver lining kind of gal - LOL

5:25 am

Scrabbler

Good morning to all

5:26 am

Atalante

hi scrabs

5:26 am

kje

hey scrab!

5:26 am

Sally-catlover

hi scrabbler

5:26 am

Scrabbler

kje, why aren't you asleep?

5:27 am

kje

cuz i'm awake.... hard to be both at once, though i am sure i have achieved it in certain meetings

5:27 am

Scrabbler

Ah, yes, I do understand.

5:27 am

kje

woke up just after 4 - not sure why, but feel good, so decided to torture myself inthis heinous grid

5:28 am

Sally-catlover

Have to go out for a bit. Be back later.

5:28 am

Scrabbler

I have a sick bunny and got up early to feed him. Tucker--decreased appetite, not pooping.

5:28 am

Scrabbler

Bye Sally

5:28 am

kje

aaaaaawwww - poor thing

5:28 am

kje

bye sally

5:29 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I am massaging his belly, forcing greens into him--and he is eating that way--but he is not eating on his own.

5:30 am

kje

belly massage? hmmm... sure he's not just faking it to get a massage? lol

5:31 am

Scrabbler

No, poor boy isn't eating on his own so I know he is sick. Bunnies are prone to GI stasis--basically constipation, I guess.

5:31 am

Atalante

poor Tucker!

5:32 am

kje

constipation with all that fiber... bummer

5:32 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I am so worried about my boy. He will stress out if I bring him to the vet, so for now I am doing what I can. He is no worse since this started Wed night.

5:33 am

kje

does that happen in the wild?

5:33 am

Scrabbler

OK, why won't Firefox open up?

5:33 am

Scrabbler

Probably, kje, and then a predator gobbles up a sick bunny.

5:34 am

kje

well, that is just not a lovely image

5:34 am

canned pumpkin

5:34 am

Scrabbler

That's reality--bunnies are prey animals. That is their purpose in the natural world. I have always told my bunnies how lucky they are to live here in Rabbitat.

5:34 am

kje

?

5:35 am

kje

grocery list, hursh?

5:35 am

hurshy

no, for the bunny

5:35 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I do need to buy some, Hursh. That helps them when they are sick--mix canned pumpkin with yogurt.

5:35 am

Scrabbler

I have done it before.

5:35 am

kje

really? wonder who figured that one out... how odd

5:36 am

Atalante

and how is hurshy suddenly a bunny expert!

5:36 am

Scrabbler

hursh, may I ask what happened with your husband's kidney "spot"?

5:36 am

hurshy

am not... is a multi-species phenomenon

5:37 am

hurshy

they were never able to tell what it was from scans, so they are removing it next thursday and then they will test it to see if it was cancer or not.

5:37 am

kje

removing? or biopsy?

5:37 am

hurshy

and then if it was, he just has to spend the rest of his life trying not to worry about it coming back.

5:38 am

hurshy

removing. it is 1.4 cm and on the surface so they are going to do it lap.

5:38 am

kje

wow... why not biopsy it first... seems extreme

5:40 am

hurshy

if you biopsy it there is a chance of spreading cancerous cells during the removal of the sample. and then if it is cancer they just have to go back in. since it's so small and they can do it lap, it's hardly even a bigger deal than a biopsy.

5:40 am

Scrabbler

I am back on my laptop--PC is acting up.

5:40 am

hurshy

also because the odds of it being cancer are quite high.

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Wish him well, Hursh. Has is enlarged at all?

5:41 am

hurshy

i don't think so

5:41 am

Scrabbler

That is a good sign--cancer grows, often rapidly.

5:42 am

hurshy

it's the sort of thing where even if it is cancer he possibly could have gone for decades without it really being a problem, they said

5:42 am

Scrabbler

Hm, well, keep us posted.

5:42 am

hurshy

it is a funny sort of cancer.

5:43 am

kje

sheesh these words are weird

5:44 am

Scrabbler

Yu are actually finding words? I have just 26.

5:44 am

Norma

Hi Babblers can anyone clue the ca7 please ;o)

5:44 am

Scrabbler

Hi Norma

5:45 am

Norma

I haven't even got 26 Scrabbler it is a bu**** today lol

5:45 am

kje

5:45 am

kje

feline-like

5:45 am

Norma

Just like a feline lol

5:46 am

Scrabbler

TY for ca7

5:46 am

Norma

I have tried every catlike combination I can think of still not getting it, cotton wool for brains today lol

5:47 am

kje

he is like a feline.. he is ca7

5:47 am

kje

i am hot and bothered, I am fever***

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Plates are d***es.

5:48 am

Scrabbler

kje, ever see a transient CN 7 palsy with a migraine?

5:48 am

kje

well, yes... that would be a more sensible clue - LOLOL

5:48 am

Norma

Thank you all ... that is a silly word lol

5:49 am

kje

yes, scrab... we get admissions for "complicated" migraines occasionally... have even seen infarcts - bizarre

5:51 am

kje

that ending is used quite a bit, so look for it

5:51 am

kje

is it you, scrab?

5:52 am

Scrabbler

I saw a teenage girl 2 d ago--described palsy for several hrs, woke up with it resolved, then sent 12 hrs puking, but no HA.

5:52 am

hurshy

i'm in the grid! (au5)

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Not me, kje. I would have gone to Neuro ED if that was me.

5:52 am

kje

does she have a h/o migraines?

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Nope, no hx. CT to be done today.

5:54 am

kje

no h/o migraines then it would not be at the top of my DDx... would be very unusual for a first migraine

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Yes, of course I am worried about something far worse.

5:55 am

kje

indeed... ct or mri would be the place to start

5:56 am

kje

let me know what you find... as i have said before, being interesting is never a good thing in medicine

5:56 am

Scrabbler

We also had a teenage girl dxd with osteosarcoma of distal femur this week, and another with renal failure, hepatitis...dx unclear. Fascinoma week.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Absolutely, kje.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

I am going off to play words in my various games. Enjoy the day everyone!

6:30 am

hurshy

goody

6:31 am

crosshair

is it still advisable for a woman to get the sceduled pap test when in fact she has had a full hysterectomy and everything has been removed?

6:31 am

lynxxx

No

6:32 am

hurshy

does "everything" include the cervix?

6:33 am

crosshair

yup

6:33 am

hurshy

well i guess you prolly can't get cervical cancer without a cervix.

6:34 am

lynxxx

Am in this situation and spoke to my oncologist today bout this very thing

6:34 am

crosshair

i thought as much

6:34 am

rubyfoo

Hello again. The congrats was a lag...

6:39 am

SeaSpray

Good morning all

6:40 am

rubyfoo

Hi, seaspray, how are you feeling?

6:41 am

SeaSpray

a slight bit better ruby, but get very tired easily, ty for asking and remembering

6:41 am

rubyfoo

crossy, I was just teasing you. When I was sick and in hospital, I regularly refused examinations and tests that I didn't feel were necessary.

6:41 am

SeaSpray

good for you ruby

6:42 am

crosshair

well if the parts are not there,she should not get the "salad spoon treatment" lol

6:43 am

rubyfoo

maybe as spring arrives, and hego promised it would, and you get outside more, the sunshine will make you feel better, sea! I am certainly hoping so for me

6:45 am

SeaSpray

I think so too ruby meanwhile I began taking supplements, time will tell and spring cannot arrive soon enough for most of us

6:46 am

crosshair

i actually saw this thing called the sun yesterday!!

6:46 am

dromano66

is there a clue for the ho9 please

6:46 am

SeaSpray

we had sun yesterday also crossy and today is supposed to reach 45 degrees

6:47 am

hurshy

if i want to encourage someone, i might ex**** them to keep up the good work... that would be ex*********

6:48 am

crosshair

we are due to sail all the way up to 18 F

6:48 am

crosshair

(crossy had to find a chart to convert to american) :))

6:49 am

SeaSpray

wow crossy, guess its better than 10 lol

6:52 am

crosshair

it is funny for those of us that were around for the conversion in 78,we used a mixed measuring system,we are ok with celcius unless it gets really hot cause we like the sound of 100f better.and fish will alway be in pounds,we are ok with kilometres but beer will forever be in pints lol

6:53 am

SeaSpray

whichever suits the occasion? lol

6:53 am

crosshair

indeed

6:53 am

SeaSpray

what does 100F convert to?

6:54 am

lynxxx

I can't do babies birth weights in grams or kilos or whatever

6:54 am

crosshair

38c

6:55 am

crosshair

but the two measurments will also converge on occasion...as -40f and -40c are the same

6:55 am

SeaSpray

wow, 100F sounds much more impressive doesn't it?

6:55 am

crosshair

indeed seaspray

6:56 am

SeaSpray

was the system hard to get used to?

6:57 am

crosshair

it took a while thats for sureand like i said those of us who were adults at the time are having the hardest go of it

6:57 am

SeaSpray

yes, I think I would have a hard time as well

6:58 am

crosshair

travelling is not so bad as us canucks tend to speak of road trips in hours instead of distance

6:59 am

crosshair

but i have bever weighed fish in anything but pounds

6:59 am

crosshair

never

6:59 am

SeaSpray

we speak of both here, but now that I think about it I hear people stating hours most of the time

7:05 am

9:53 am

rubyfoo

I am doing worse each day!

9:53 am

SeaSpray

oh no ruby, what is wrong?

9:53 am

Joanne123

lol i am finding it tougher too

9:54 am

rubyfoo

my game is off and my marriage appears to be finished!

9:54 am

flosey

oh dear ruby

9:54 am

Joanne123

ohh no ruby sorry to hear that

9:54 am

rubyfoo

we are too old for a divorce so what to do???

9:55 am

Joanne123

that is indeed tough

9:55 am

SeaSpray

some are never too old ruby

9:55 am

flosey

why too old for divorce? would you not be better and happier on your own

9:55 am

rubyfoo

peris

9:55 am

bojazz

hi everybody - ruby, so sorry to hear that

9:55 am

Joanne123

hi boj

9:55 am

rubyfoo

but you need to have a lot fo money to do it when you're old

9:55 am

flosey

morning bo

9:55 am

rubyfoo

hi bo jazz

9:56 am

rubyfoo

sorry, I typed a word in the chat, pb would be better than around here!!!!

9:56 am

SeaSpray

so sorry ruby, hang in there

9:56 am

flosey

and with great coffee ruby, and chocolate

9:57 am

rubyfoo

you are all so nice!!!

9:57 am

flosey

and we can still chat with you in pb

9:57 am

rubyfoo

thanks

9:57 am

SeaSpray

I had a woman tell me a month ago, living alone is better than living on edge or miserable, she was in her 40's though

9:57 am

bojazz

and he can't come near!

9:57 am

rubyfoo

yes, but I'm in my 60's (which is fine), but he's in his 80's!!

9:57 am

Joanne123

now i just heard that babble name don't count ruby so you are freeeee

9:58 am

rubyfoo

hahah joanne

9:58 am

rubyfoo

and I can't kick him out....

9:58 am

bojazz

we could stock the PB for you & you can stay there all the time

9:58 am

rubyfoo

that sounds like a good deal!

9:59 am

flosey

great idea bo, could put a nice private suite for you

9:59 am

bojazz

HD, flat screen TV

9:59 am

SeaSpray

does he have children to move in with?

9:59 am

rubyfoo

but can I bring my pups?

9:59 am

bojazz

yes!!

9:59 am

flosey

why not?

10:00 am

rubyfoo

that's the problem. He's been married 4 times and has no contact with any of his children!

10:00 am

flosey

and you could tend a lovely garden

10:00 am

flosey

wow ruby, that says a lot

10:00 am

rubyfoo

if he would leave, that would be fine with me, but he has no place to go unless I give him my half of the house

10:00 am

SeaSpray

ouch, he should be used to divorce then

10:01 am

bojazz

easier said than done, but you should find a way out - being miserable is not a life plan

10:01 am

rubyfoo

I feel like a jerk, telling all this stuff, but it really helps me. Thank you all for listening.

10:01 am

SeaSpray

the woman i was telling you about sold her house to get rid of her husband because he wouldn't leave

10:01 am

callaway

ruby give him the boot. the toe of the boot is better than a heel

10:01 am

bojazz

hey, who are we gonna tell??

10:01 am

rubyfoo

This is MY house and there is no way I'll sell it and give him the proceeds!

10:02 am

rubyfoo

((bo))

10:02 am

Sally-catlover

ruby, hi, not

10:02 am

Ormal

talking about problems is good therapy ruby. talk away.

10:02 am

rubyfoo

hello sally, I've been venting!

10:02 am

flosey

absolutely Ormal, we're all here for you ruby

10:03 am

bojazz

venting is good - have at it!

10:03 am

Sally-catlover

Don't know what happened, Hit enter too soon. Not really here because I have a bad cold and am by the fire. I hate to say it, but time is in your favour if he is in 80s.

10:04 am

bojazz

Ormal - are you a boggler?

10:04 am

Sally-catlover

Is it legally your house? They have strange laws of inheritance in France so you need to make sure his children don't have a share.

10:04 am

SeaSpray

well, I was going to suggest to wait it out, but didn't want to be to harsh

10:05 am

Ormal

yep bo

10:05 am

rubyfoo

it is legally my house. The liquid assets (such as they are -- lol) are another question, but more than half are mine anyway.

10:05 am

bojazz

thought i recognized your name

10:05 am

callaway

change the locks ..put his stuff out in the yard

10:06 am

rubyfoo

I've thought the same thing, seaspray, especially since he had a heart attack in September

10:06 am

rubyfoo

hello callaway

10:06 am

bojazz

first, talk to a lawyer - get it straight before you act - then act!

10:06 am

callaway

Hi

10:06 am

Ormal

My name is kinda hard to miss, odd as it is huh? That is seriously my great-uncle's given name.

10:06 am

flosey

but why live with misery - it brings you down and you should be enjoying these years ruby

10:06 am

Sally-catlover

I know you aren't looking for advice, but here it is anyway :-) Make a life for yourself, ignore the nasty bits and just let him be. Time is on your side, and that way you can enjoy your life anyway, and things will resolve themselves in time.

10:06 am

rubyfoo

it is nice to be able to joke about it a little, but last weekend he got a little rough for the first time.

10:07 am

Sally-catlover

Well I did suggest to you that me might be starting a little dementia from his behaviour.

10:07 am

rubyfoo

I welcome your advice, babblers. It is very isolated here and, of course, he is really charming with the neighbors!!!

10:07 am

callaway

have him committed for dementia

10:07 am

flosey

aha, then could you have him put into a facility

10:07 am

Sally-catlover

You can make your own life living in the same house, and just be civilised but lead separate lives.

10:08 am

SeaSpray

they always are ruby

10:08 am

rubyfoo

yes, sally, I think you are right

10:08 am

rubyfoo

no, no possibility of a facility here; we're not part of the system

10:08 am

Sally-catlover

You can be upfront with him if you want (and I don't know him!) that that is what you are doing. Once you don't care any more, believe me it will stop worrying you.

10:09 am

rubyfoo

and the only way his previous wife would take him back would be if he was still rich!

10:09 am

SeaSpray

I know a man who is nasty, belittling, controlling to his family but is very pleasant to everyone else

10:09 am

flosey

ah, too bad, but as Sally suggests, do have your own life

10:09 am

Sally-catlover

I am not defending him but if he is in 80s he may be very uptight about the future, especially if he has no contact with his children. He may be very frightened of death.

10:09 am

rubyfoo

I try but, unfortunately, am still tangled in his financial life

10:10 am

bojazz

talk to a lawyer, please

10:10 am

rubyfoo

and they would never believe that someone could be so different, publicly and privately

10:10 am

Sally-catlover

That's fine, you can be civilised and polite but live your own life. That is really important for you.

10:10 am

SeaSpray

I believe it

10:10 am

rubyfoo

yes, sally, as usual, you are right. He is very frightened of the end (as are we all!0

10:10 am

bonkler

um, you aren't the neighbour. my old man was an undiagnosed poster boy for post traumatic stress disorder. he terrorized our family when his problems boiled up. he was intelligent, capable, talented and harrible. my mother never left him for a slew of reasons that all seemed reasonable if looked at without being on the inside. first it was the kids, the stigma of divorce, the economic hardship, the inevitable bitter fight over everything. at the end she went to her grave riddled and bitter with regret after living too many years unhappily. i wouldn't wish her fate on anyone and i wouldn't encourage waiting out a toxic situation. $0.02

10:11 am

Sally-catlover

If he is getting a bit rough, put a lock on your door :-)

10:12 am

callaway

or put one on his from the outside

10:12 am

Sally-catlover

lol callaway

10:13 am

rubyfoo

the roughness was unprovoked and was scary because I am very small and he is surprisingly, very strong. Lox is a good idea but not possible in this funny house

10:14 am

SeaSpray

sadly bonlker a lot of people end up just as your mom did

10:14 am

bojazz

way too many stories like yours bonkler - sorry to hear about it

10:14 am

rubyfoo

that's really sad about your mom, bonkler

10:15 am

SeaSpray

gotta run, bbl take care ruby

10:15 am

rubyfoo

my story is not so sad as there would be no stigma, my only kid is MINE, and the house belongs to me. However, if he touches me again, he's history.

10:15 am

Ormal

taser. one zap.

10:15 am

rubyfoo

bye seaspray

10:16 am

herekittykitty

actually, Callaway is on to something. I am a psychiatric nurse, and locks from the outside are not unreasonable when a "meltdown" occurs

10:16 am

rubyfoo

how do you say taser in French??

10:16 am

callaway

gun

10:16 am

rubyfoo

I could start putting butter into his very careful low-fat diet!

10:17 am

rubyfoo

tasty poison

10:17 am

Ormal

lol

10:17 am

callaway

now you have left an evidence trail

10:17 am

bojazz

Duke's Real Mayo is loaded - can you get that?

10:18 am

rubyfoo

only evidence is in babble chog!

10:18 am

herekittykitty

a high fat diet leading to clogged arteries is viable.

10:18 am

herekittykitty

use lard too!

10:18 am

rubyfoo

he already has had three clogged arteries

10:18 am

rubyfoo

and the food would be delicious!

10:18 am

bonkler

too true, and the damage lasts. my sisters and i are still dealing with the wreckage left behind. thing is if someone is determined to do you harm either physical or emotional, you have every right to protect yourself. the first form of defence is separation. put distance between you and them. violence is never acceptable. period. not once, not ever. note the time, details, the result document it and call the authorities. trust me on this. when it goes unchecked it escalates. the cycle of abuse is not susceptible to promises or apologies. if his temper allowed him to raise a hand against you once it will do so again. lose the ugliness from your life. the temporary upheaval is worth your health and survival.

10:18 am

herekittykitty

now were talking!

10:19 am

callaway

that may be part of his problem. he may really have dementia if not enough blood to the brain

10:19 am

rubyfoo

he didn't even apologize (or acknowledge) the violence

10:19 am

flosey

if there is any physical evidence of his anger, see a doctor and have it documented

10:19 am

herekittykitty

well spoken bonk. I left an abusive situation, have had no regrets and have never looked back. I love my life now.

10:19 am

rubyfoo

like it was my fault

10:20 am

rubyfoo

no, no bruise....

10:20 am

Sally-catlover

I don't care how funny the house, ruby, locks are always possible. Would give you peace of mind. You can tell him you are scared of intruders if you think it would inflame him.

10:21 am

rubyfoo

but we still sleep in the same room

10:21 am

herekittykitty

tell the authorities he is suicidal. They will lock him up briefly for an evaluation, and you can pack his things.

10:21 am

rubyfoo

but I think that this accumulated wisdom is very helpful and I don't feel like such a whiner

10:21 am

Sally-catlover

I take it the house has more than one bedroom? Tell him he snores or something.

10:21 am

flosey

is there a room you can make for yourself?

10:21 am

rubyfoo

you are very supportive and wise

10:21 am

callaway

Bye all, I'll pray for your situation Ruby

10:21 am

inge

Stuck on my last 2 words: el 6/21 and re 8/55. Can anyone help me please?

10:21 am

Sally-catlover

Make it pleasant.

10:21 am

rubyfoo

he won't move

10:22 am

rubyfoo

hello inge, they've all been helping me with my life, probqably not even playing LOL

10:22 am

herekittykitty

el is similar to someone who is related to you, minus first cons.

10:22 am

callaway

re8/55 is kinfolks

10:22 am

flosey

el + switch the vowels in your mother's sister

10:23 am

Aloyisius

el + anagram of your mother's sister

10:23 am

herekittykitty

hold a pillow over his head till the "snoring" stops...heheh

10:23 am

rubyfoo

ty callaway, for advice and re8

10:23 am

flosey

lol kitty

10:23 am

rubyfoo

raofl, kitty

10:24 am

rubyfoo

nice clue flosey

10:24 am

rubyfoo

now I'll go put a dollop of butter into his dinner!

10:24 am

rubyfoo

hi aloy

10:24 am

herekittykitty

use the lard!

10:24 am

Sally-catlover

Must dash - keep your chin up ruby. If you have your own life, it will make it easier in the end. Be happy in yourself.

10:25 am

rubyfoo

hahahah

10:25 am

Sally-catlover

Put butter on the stairs (evil grin)

10:25 am

Aloyisius

hi ruby.. sorry you are in the situation.. take care!

10:25 am

rubyfoo

((everybody)), thanks for your shoulders

10:25 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for cu7 please?

10:26 am

Joanne123

cu4 in a so4 of way

10:26 am

bonkler

ruby, wisdom and advice isn't going to help you if a larger and stronger person loses their grip. it only takes a very brief moment to disable a person and to place their life in peril. it is all very well to seek passive support but the onus is on you to take positive steps. if you want the situation to end you must end it. his weaknesses are not your problem. if you put him out, his fate is NOT your problem. it is the classic abusive co-dependency, he blames you for making him angry and you accept it. it isn't your fault and it is a life threatening problem. kick his rotten ass out and have the authorities, family, friends or whover there to back you up.

10:26 am

rururocks

which one flosey?

10:26 am

flosey

ty joanne

10:32 am

rubyfoo

I had better give him his butter-added dinner!

10:33 am

rubyfoo

I'm not a citizen here, just a visitor with a ten-year permit

10:33 am

Ormal

you need an equalizer if you are going to stay. I once used a 1 gallon paint can half full of nuts and bolts on my big brother when he was choking me. He never touched me again

okay people. equalizers and playing the game of violence and abuse just prolongs the stupidity. if you have poison in your mouth it is no less toxic if you only swallow a little. the bottom line is you either deal with the problem or you suffer the consequences. there are no other choices. only you can decide whether to be a victim or not. if you decide to stay in an abusive relationship then you have given tacit permission to be mistreated. it is no way to live and it could very well end your life.

10:37 am

Ormal

Aloy, that's my nephews middle name

guernseygirl

What's making you all cross?

11:58 am

Soodle

Argh. You could do without that, Red.

11:59 am

redturtlehead

the usual. it was very tiring, because HR came and people had a gloimmer of hope for change..

11:59 am

guernseygirl

but then.....

11:59 am

redturtlehead

so everyone got all riled up, and talked about the big patient ratios, but intruth nothing will change so I wasted my morning.

12:00 pm

Soodle

Guernsey girl, I am in the best of form. Its FRIDAY!!!!!

12:00 pm

guernseygirl

Great! To those of us who are retired, every day's a holiday!

12:00 pm

Oh , cant wait to be reitred.

12:01 pm

Soodle

Red - I take it your in the health profession....are you admin, or front line?

12:01 pm

guernseygirl

It's true what they say, though - your time is just as full

12:01 pm

redturtlehead

I am an ED nurse. some day would like to actually be management, I think...

12:02 pm

Soodle

With a job like that, the last thin

12:02 pm

Soodle

is the suits causing trouble!

12:02 pm

redturtlehead

but of course being management I would miss getting stuff hurled at me!

12:02 pm

EvaNadine

Emergency Department?

12:02 pm

redturtlehead

yes.

12:02 pm

Soodle

Hiccups again, sorry

12:03 pm

guernseygirl

I guess its a very stressful job, whether in nursing or management.

12:03 pm

EvaNadine

i can only imagine how stressful that can be. its certainly stressful when youre a patient!

12:08 pm

rubyfoo

it's funny with chow chows, when you see them, you can always tell the sexes apart, not like other breeds

12:09 pm

guernseygirl

I know more about cats, but i admire other people's dogs.

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

chows are like huge cats, in their independence and other character traits

12:11 pm

guernseygirl

That must make them quite difficult to train?

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

ruby trained me

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

but they're very clean, so there are no housebreaking issues

12:11 pm

guernseygirl

Ah, yes, just like cats. mine has me wrapped round her little paw.

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

12:12 pm

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

12:13 pm

rubyfoo

bye girl

12:13 pm

crosshair

4:35 pm

crosshair

rig

4:35 pm

cybernan

whatever it takes -- keep most of my files on an external drive, so biggest considerations are memory and video card

4:36 pm

crosshair

ahh you are a heavy grapics users? gamer,cad programs?

4:37 pm

cybernan

Hubby just got a new laptop and I must say that win7 is sooooo much better than vista although in appearance they are similar -- even runs my old programs!

4:37 pm

cybernan

not a gamer -- a lot of video work though

4:37 pm

crosshair

yes win 7 is what vista should of been the first time

4:38 pm

crosshair

if you do a ton of video editing make sure you get a good gpu in the 1 gig range

4:38 pm

crosshair

they are not bad now..about 150-200 dollars

4:39 pm

cybernan

yes -- that is what I am looking for --- tons of ram

4:39 pm

crosshair

mine is maxed out and there is a delay when I try to sync audio and video files when the program I am creating is past the optimum length (not nearly long enough)

4:41 pm

cybernan

I'm ok if I stick to one audio track -- it's when I try to add voice overs that the problems start.

id suggest cybernan using tigerdirect.com,choosing a barebones rig then add your storage ram and video to taste,and get at least a 750 w power supply

4:45 pm

crosshair

too many rigs ive seen are jam packed,but under powered

4:46 pm

cybernan

will have a look at it crossy -- ty

4:46 pm

crosshair

choose a nice quad core chip and go from there

4:46 pm

cybernan

usually they are jam packed with junk!

4:46 pm

crosshair

should be able to build a good one for 600 or so

4:47 pm

Have a friend who just switched to linux and loves it -- don't know enough about it though

4:48 pm

crosshair

howdy pappa

4:48 pm

crosshair

ugh..get a good rig first,then mess around with operating systems

4:49 pm

cybernan

my thought also -- don't want to run into problems using the programs I already have.

4:49 pm

crosshair

you can use your old rig to play with linux

4:50 pm

cybernan

besides -- the friend is very anti-gates and would cut off his nose to spite....

4:50 pm

crosshair

yes,linux takes work

4:50 pm

crosshair

and google is working on a os so we shall see what develops

4:51 pm

cybernan

won't that be interesting?

4:51 pm

KrisE

I'm back...

smooth_pappa

4:51 pm

KrisE

hi nan:)

4:51 pm

crosshair

the best example i can give to you of playing with linux is if you remember imputting commands into your old commadore 64 lol

4:52 pm

cybernan

never mind the commadore -- what about the vic20 -- that was my first computer!

4:52 pm

cybernan

4:52 pm

smooth_papa, I have a question for you8. I am taking a botanical drawing class and need some black and white photos preferably of floers, rocks, trees. do you know of any books or magazines I could use.

4:52 pm

crosshair

the os is virus safe because hackers cant be bothered with the thing

4:53 pm

periwinkle

I did find some pictures on line but wondered about any publications. Went to the library as well as Borders with no luck

4:53 pm

cybernan

I don't think the even bother with me anymore

4:54 pm

cybernan

*they, ME

4:54 pm

smooth_pappa

hmmm... good question... give me a sec

4:55 pm

periwinkle

smooth, what is that bug/creature that child is holding?

4:55 pm

crosshair

i can still hear the sound of a 4 1/2 inch floppy drive comming up to speed;)

4:55 pm

smooth_pappa

well, if you go to a borders or barns and noble, you'll have a ton of options in the photography sections. But photo books aren't cheap. A good library should have some, too. as far as specific titles... let me look at a couple of resources I have.

4:55 pm

cybernan

now I find that technology is moving way faster than I can keep up

4:56 pm

crosshair

and the tape drive! hehe

4:56 pm

smooth_pappa

oh, and my icon: it's a titan beetle. the largest beetle in the world. unfortunately, that's not a picture I took. :( But I loved it.

5:34 pm

jmcnrick

5:35 pm

jmcnrick

Mom

5:37 pm

KrisE

jmc, I learned in school (and am learning from experience) that as we age, we need more contrast and more light to see what we used to see. That's why some old ladies look all tarty with their deep rouge and too much pencil

5:37 pm

Mom

This one I am working on now I did my first Sun Bonnet Sue

5:38 pm

Mom

Dorens, ho**aculturalist + food add*****

5:38 pm

5:49 pm

smooth_pappa

I do photography on the side, as well as a part of my day job. but my day job consists of a lot more than just photography. So yes, photography is a substantial part of my income, but it is also a hobby, and not my entire income.

Mom

yes, smooth_pappa, let us know

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

5:50 pm

KrisE

pappa, the reason I asked if consulting is that consulting is way up or way down.

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

er *don't

5:50 pm

Nancy13

Im sure her age didn't lessen the pain... I still miss my grandmother who died at 96 and still had a wonderful outlook on life to share with me

5:51 pm

Mom

no, it didn't. I do talk to her everyday. I am sure you do with your grandma

5:52 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, I've heard that from consultants we've worked with... no mine was essentialy that my entire department was laid off, but before my last day there, I was re-hired by another department. But the company continued to struggle, and we laid off 2/3s of our staff. I missed those layoffs, and things were lean and tight for a long time, but starting to really pick up again

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

ooo what dictator is in the grid?

5:52 pm

Nancy13

not so much.. but somewhat with my mother, also gone

6:55 pm

Jacula

You're all tempting me, but by the time I'd booked the flight, waited at the airport, got undressed numerous times for security checks, got scanned for same, the blooming weekend would be over!

6:56 pm

redturtlehead

6:56 pm

Jacula

Hi MM.

6:56 pm

jillibus

stid -- that's fine -- are you talking the Fulford ferry or Vesuvius?

6:56 pm

movieman

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, but I was finishing off the grid

6:56 pm

jillibus

both, jac -- and they were in Vancouver for the Olympics so I'll be hearing about that

6:57 pm

stidmama

I really liked the cinematography of LOTR movieman... in our house the debate is between that series and Star Wars. I like the Indiana Jones series too, just because it's so funky

6:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

mm i did not read the book. i don't think i would have liked it at all. but stanley tucci should get an oscar

6:57 pm

lynxxx

Bye all - off to buy ingredients to make eclairs for my favorite brother

6:57 pm

Jacula

MM - are you going to see Tim Burton's version of 'Alice'?

6:57 pm

stidmama

I was thinking Fulford, but Vesuvius would work too.

6:57 pm

stidmama

We'll be in Mother's van.

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

I have recently read 2 more books that I think belong in the dustbin.

6:57 pm

stidmama

6:58 pm

redturtlehead

chocolate?

6:58 pm

stidmama

That's a good point. Will tell Mother.

6:58 pm

Jacula

MM - my stepdaughter's going to see that film later today.

we heard yesterday that one of the two uscg crews doing security detail there crashed on the way home.

6:58 pm

movieman

How old is she, Jac?

6:58 pm

Jacula

MM - I assume it's a more true (as in more drugged up) version than the Disney one?

6:58 pm

stidmama

okay, me outta here too. Many things to relax about... *Poof*

6:59 pm

Jacula

15, MM.

6:59 pm

movieman

Jacula

'Bye Stid.

6:59 pm

movieman

Especially if she's a Johnny Depp fan

7:01 pm

Jacula

MM. she, like myself, IS a Johnny Depp fan. From the pics I saw he looked like another Chocolate Factory owner/barber again. For me, there's no better persona for him than Capt'n Jack.

7:02 pm

movieman

Well, Babble's finished, Gorillaz new album is finished.....guess I'll retire for the night (seeing as it's 1 in the morning over here).......*poof*

I should probably take my 'scrip there and get a cheap backup pair ..

8:41 pm

lbdawger

hi dobie. it's a tricky grid.

8:42 pm

redturtlehead

definitely. When I went to the optician, i was surprised to find he actually has his own private practice. he offerred to do the same exam for double the price.

8:42 pm

Nef

it IS a tricky grid! I wish I wouldn't have started it this AM

8:43 pm

lbdawger

gee, why would you want to do that? pay double for the same exam? silly doc

8:43 pm

Me too!!!

8:43 pm

8:44 pm

lbdawger

hi wht!

8:44 pm
