12:24 am

rururocks

I can afford the other wines.. getting Romanee Conti is akin to seeing a gorilla in the jungle

12:24 am

jillibus

DH, Lickety updates when he has time, IF he has time. He does this out of the kindless of his heart.

12:24 am

joshuavorbis

out of the kindling of his perpetually warm heart

12:24 am

flosey

I would guess that ru

12:24 am

rururocks

it is released @ $13,500 per bottle but you have to be a movie star to get some

12:26 am

gremlinn

there are two other words that start with the same first 4 letters, that I know of

12:26 am

cybernan

I don't know ruru -- most red wines have such an overpowering odor of dirty gym socks that I can't taste anything else

12:26 am

flosey

thanks grem

12:27 am

rururocks

those are flawed red wines nan...that is a spoilage issue

12:27 am

joshuavorbis

i prefer a pinot socko, myself

12:27 am

rururocks

it is called brettanomyces

12:28 am

cybernan

I haven't found one yet that doesn't smell that way to me --- they can't all be spoiled!

12:29 am

gremlinn

or...I'm thinking of another 4/5/6 combo

12:29 am

rururocks

1:45 am

Barb's Horses

can I ask a newbie question? or two?

1:46 am

jillibus

sure, barb

1:46 am

Barb's Horses

when someone talks about putting up their list...can others see it? and where does one go to do so?

1:46 am

flosey

yes, jilli, he is too

1:47 am

diem

hi all

1:47 am

jillibus

do you mean such as gremlin putting up a list in his profile, barb?

1:47 am

Barb's Horses

hi diem

1:47 am

jillibus

hi diem

1:48 am

flosey

hello diem

1:48 am

Barb's Horses

i thought cybernan said something the other day about putting up their list or posting it?

1:48 am

jillibus

or when vash or someone lists words starting with a certain letter?

1:49 am

Barb's Horses

maybe that was it...

1:49 am

jillibus

Any lists put up by babblers can be seen in the chat or in their profiles, barb.

1:49 am

jillibus

ain't no secrets around here, lol!

1:50 am

flosey

but Barb, do you have Lickety's list?

1:50 am

Barb's Horses

i just wasn't clueing in how to see them ...thanks for filling me in

1:50 am

Barb's Horses

there is a spot at the bottom to click on I believe

1:51 am

Barb's Horses

lickety's babble clues..I have used that before

1:51 am

flosey

yes, they are very helpful, but you can also ask Lickety for the newer version

1:51 am

jillibus

in Friends of Babble -- right-click on Licketyu's Babble Clues to open in another window -- shrink it sideways and put it at the left of the grid.

1:52 am

Barb's Horses

okay thanks

1:52 am

jillibus

I thought I gave you that info, Barb, and told you about BabbleExpert?

1:54 am

Barb's Horses

You may have but my brain is a sieve these days...I appreciate you telling me again. I just set a request to "god" and asked to be added to the friends of babble

1:55 am

jillibus

barb, you don't need to do that. You need to email Lickety and ask for Babble Expert (it's free)

1:55 am

Barb's Horses

some of the problem is the meds I take for my Fibromyalgia really fog my brain...they actually call it fibro fog

1:56 am

jillibus

well, email Lickety NOW, before you forget, lol!

3:09 am

herinfernallady

There is these idiot parents complaining about Lady Gaga's concert this was my 2 cents 'Parents complaining about Lady Gaga Concert. We the people are not there to parent your children. That is right they are YOUR kids not mine. There is a warning on the CD. Do we want to hold your kids hands too. Seriously. Parents do your job. ''

3:09 am

Good for you. LOL

PUrple collar and everything?

lol I would imagine so.

4:03 am

FMitch

How is Spangle talking of sproingy ones?

4:04 am

Haz1558

She's fine, attending to the Arranging Of The Paws.

4:04 am

FMitch

ah yes, well it is that time of the day.

4:05 am

FMitch

what is the grid like today, found yesterdays a tad challenging for some reason.

4:05 am

Haz1558

I have an interesting meeting this morning. The club house we use for RDA is needing to be replaced, but we're not sure where we go to get a second-hand decent portacabin. So, I wrote to the boss of the biggest building firm in the county to ask for help - he's sending a man along to see what they can do to help!

4:06 am

herinfernallady

HI FM

4:06 am

FMitch

Oh good luck and good thinking Haz!

4:06 am

FMitch

Evening hernin

4:06 am

FMitch

*or herin even!

4:07 am

Haz1558

It's not that we want them to give us one, just some guidance on where to get our hands on one that's in good condition. We really have no idea about prices etc so we thought we'd ask the men who would know.

4:07 am

FMitch

well you never know, they might donate one.

4:08 am

Haz1558

Even if they helped us get the old one out and the new one installed, it would be a help - it's going to involve a crane, I'm sure.

4:09 am

FMitch

and that all cocts, do let me know how the meeting goes, what time are you off?

4:09 am

Haz1558

If we play our cards right, it could be the main headline in the local paper. Last week's Ballymoney Chronicle had 'Pigeon poisoned' as its headline.

4:09 am

FMitch

LOL

4:09 am

Haz1558

We've to meet him at 11.30 - he sounded very friendly so it should be fine.

4:10 am

Just have a good morning tea or lunch laid out and you will have him eating out of your hands (so to speak)

4:10 am

lynxxx

Hello all

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx. Good idea, I could defrost some scones.

4:11 am

Christine

Anyone have a clue for the 9?

4:12 am

Haz1558

We'll set him down just where the wind whistles through the badly fitted windows, feed him coffee and scones and smile a lot. That's our plan.

4:12 am

lynxxx

I didn't know scones froze! here I was forcing(!) myself to eat any left over because they go stale quickly TY

4:12 am

FMitch

HAven't started the grid yet Christine.

4:12 am

Haz1558

su9 - a compound word indicating extra special qualities of attractiveness.

4:12 am

Haz1558

Yes, scones freeze very well.

4:13 am

FMitch

What a shame, lynxx won't have an excuse to eat them all up now.

4:13 am

Christine

I have that one, but there's another.

4:14 am

I think it's pr9 but haven't found it yet.

4:21 am

lynxxx

are you sorry you ever mentioned it FM!

4:21 am

FMitch

Yes *sigh*

4:22 am

Haz1558

FM, people were talking yesterday about a new book 'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett. It's about servants in the US. I was debating whether your cleaning lady was going to write about her experiences with you. Keep an eye on her and pounce if you see her stopping to write in a notebook.

4:22 am

FMitch

*grin*

4:22 am

Thank you for the PR hint - found it, and now I'm awa' to ma wee bed. Good night, y'all.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

sweet dreams chirstine

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I want to hear about the school uniform!

4:24 am

Christine

That's a great book. Really gone, this time.

4:24 am

FMitch

Not telling, ruby.

4:24 am

Haz1558

There were quite a few on at the time, very enthusiastic about the book. I had a look on Amazon, it seems to be written in southern American drawl, I'd have to draw on my imagination to read it easily.

4:24 am

Haz1558

The school uniform? We've only had sketchy details, but a delightful picture they raise.

4:25 am

FMitch

and sketchy they will remain.

4:25 am

Christine

Rats!! now I can't go ... was it St. Trinian's uniform??

4:26 am

FMitch

Go to be Christine :)

4:26 am

FMitch

*go to bed even, see my nerves are jangled at the mere thought of the t word

4:27 am

Christine

You know how you get to the point you;ve passed the wide yawns ... that's me, now. I've passed sleepy and/or tired.

4:27 am

Haz1558

Of course, St Trinians was always divided into the short, stout, hockey playing little ones, and the fishnet stockinged sixth formers. What happened in the school holidays to transform them, I wonder?

4:28 am

Christine

But Searle's drawings of the uniforms were too much.

4:29 am

Haz1558

I haven't seen the new versions of St Trinians - there was always an innocence about the older versions which has probably been discarded, unfortunately. And Alastair Sim and Joyce Grenfell just can't be replaced.

4:30 am

Christine

Joyce Grenfield "You silly sausage".

4:30 am

Christine

Sorry, I meant Grenfell.

4:30 am

Haz1558

She was the most wonderful actress and monologue speaker, a great woman.

4:31 am

FMitch

Haz just typed what I was about to say.
Back in a mo, time for morning coffee.

4:31 am

Haz1558

See you shortly, FM.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

may I have a clue for the 7, pls?

4:33 am

rubyfoo

then I'll have half

4:33 am

lynxxx

ef7 gave forth

4:33 am

Haz1558

ef7 - past tense of ef6/39

4:33 am

Haz1558

And do you have or6/24 - Annie was a little one.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

thank you, now I can do my husband's little computer chore! he's been bugging me all morning!

4:34 am

rubyfoo

ty for the "gift" haz

4:34 am

Haz1558

All the best for that, ruby - and you're welcome.

4:39 am

FMitch

and am back

4:40 am

FMitch

Have much to do today but can't get settled into anything :(

4:41 am

Haz1558

And I've just lifted scones out of the freezer.

4:41 am

Haz1558

Two cherry, two date and wheaten and two plain.

4:42 am

lynxxx

what a sensible word - cu6.24

4:42 am

FMitch

glad one uf us is getting organised.

4:42 am

FMitch

oh love the sound of the date ones.

4:43 am

Haz1558

Jeeves with a tine obsession?

4:43 am

Haz1558

The date ones are nice - made with wheatmeal flour and I use buttermilk and egg for mixing.

4:45 am

FMitch

oh that makes me want to do some baking.

4:46 am

Haz1558

I told you I was going to a pampered chef thing the other night? I'm hosting one in May!

4:46 am

FMitch

wow, what is involved?

4:46 am

lynxxx

what does that entail Haz?

4:47 am

Haz1558

The demo consists of the lady making two recipes - and along the way she demonstrates the equipment that Pampered Chef sells. You then get the chance to sample what she has made and you can order whatever you like from the catalogue.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

back. Naturally, he didn't give me enough information so instead of one call, it will take several! And all in French

4:48 am

Haz1558

It wasn't high pressure sales or anything like that and I'll do mine and use the profit to go to a charity rather than getting more kitchen stuff for myself.

4:48 am

FMitch

So what will be your two dishes?

4:48 am

Haz1558

I don't know yet, they use different dishes each month.

4:48 am

lynxxx

what sort of kitchen stuff? price range?

4:49 am

Haz1558

I'll hope to get up to 15 ladies here, all with generous natures and overflowing purses.

4:49 am

Haz1558

The range covers everything from pastry brushes right up to saucepans and things so a wide range of prices. It looks to be good quality and I enjoyed the evening so I thought I'd do one as well.

4:50 am

rubyfoo

that sounds like a lot of fun

4:50 am

rubyfoo

how big is your kitchen?

4:50 am

lynxxx

Sounds like fun - and useful. Better than Tuppawear!

4:50 am

FMitch

It does and as we all know our Haz is an excellnt cook.

4:50 am

Haz1558

It's 13 feet by 13 feet and a utility room as well where some of the equipment can go.

4:51 am

Christine

Hmmm, a baby earthquake - maybe an aftershock to Monday's.

4:51 am

Haz1558

I only know dimensions because I've been measuring it up recently (for papering)

4:52 am

rubyfoo

where are you Christine?

4:52 am

Christine

In :os Angeles.

4:52 am

FMitch

Haz is the Nigella Lawson of Ballymena

4:52 am

rubyfoo

ahah

4:52 am

lynxxx

are you getting earthquakes there Christine...from the Chile one still?

4:52 am

Christine

That's Los Angeles, of course.

4:53 am

rubyfoo

even I (in the sticks) know that name!

4:53 am

Haz1558

Don't say that, FM! She drives me round the bend, all that puting and simpering. And when WILL she ever learn to use an apron?

4:53 am

Haz1558

*pouting

4:53 am

lynxxx

oh no - does Haz give meaningful glances as well?

4:53 am

o-o

along the San Andreas fault

4:53 am

rubyfoo

has anybody seen Julie and Julia?

4:54 am

FMitch

*grin* knew that would get you, sorry could help myself.

4:54 am

Christine

We're on the San Andreas Fault, and have small eathquakes throughout the year.

4:54 am

Haz1558

lynxxx, the sort of meaningful glances I gave have an ENTIRELY different sort of effect!

4:54 am

FMitch

Not yet ruby although was looking at the DVD the other day.

4:55 am

FMitch

It has had good reviews

4:55 am

Christine

Rubyfoo, I used to read her blog, and read the book, but haven't seen the film. That tall woman's laugh drives me crazy.

4:55 am

rubyfoo

I think we'll all love it, but when it will come to France is another question.....

4:57 am

Haz1558

Well, I'd better start getting this softening up picnic put together. Well done for thinking of it, lynxxx. If we get a new portacabin out of this, we'll name it 'The Lynxxx'

4:58 am

FMitch

Bye Haz, good luck and might see you later when Ata ishere.

6:03 am

Morning Siss c[_]!

6:04 am

Nancy Boy

Well quite, Herin ;)

6:05 am

herinfernallady

Nancy I got to see Placebo recently. Very happy

6:05 am

Nancy Boy

well, young people today don't have the stamina to go on dancing all night. I swear that's why so many drugs are used.

6:05 am

Nancy Boy

Oh Herin, serious?! where was this?!

6:06 am

Trifioso

okay, which one of us ancients wants to clue nancy in on the existence of drugs back in the disco era?

6:06 am

crosshair

lol nb..we floated on a sea of booze and drugs..just not so many chemicals

6:06 am

herinfernallady

At Soundwave. It was a huge 12 hour rock gig

6:07 am

Nancy Boy

Well Trif, I have an idea ;) but so many club drugs are just designed to keep you awake and alert and jumpy...not chilled out!

6:07 am

herinfernallady

My drug of choice in my twenties was Red Slushies from 7 -11

6:07 am

crosshair

with us it was weel or lsd,purple mikes,cali sunshines..i will not embarrass the rest of the white haired ones with the full list lol

6:07 am

Trifioso

quick question for our non-us members today - have you all heard anything at all about a girl called Candace here in the states, and the prom controversy she is facing?

6:08 am

Nancy Boy

Oh Herin you lucky lady :) I saw them at Reading...last summer! seems ages ago now, before Steve left

6:08 am

Trifioso

or maybe it's Constance....

6:08 am

Nancy Boy

not heard a peep, Trif. What's the story?

6:09 am

herinfernallady

Yes I have Trifs and I think it is disgusting. First to vilify her for her sexual preference then to cancel the prom the kids could easily hurt her and it is just nasty. Can't see why the school didn't just be poliet about it and not cancel the Prom and just not let her go if people were so damn up tight about it

6:09 am

Trifioso

anyway, she lives down south in the US, and she wants to attend her senior prom with her girlfriend, and the school said they would rather cancel the whole thing before they would let two lesbians attend --- and the DID! Now Constance is being bullied by other kids at the school who are pissed because prom is cancelled, and the town is in an upr6

6:10 am

Trifioso

Herin, I think they just should have let her go, and not made an issue of it.

6:10 am

crosshair

good lord,poor girl.up here we care not a wit.bring your girl,bring your boy.bring your partner..thats terrible

6:10 am

herinfernallady

Well see I see it from the other side too. Don't know if the school was a religous school or whether the school had issues with sexual preference

6:10 am

Trifioso

does the school honestly think there has never been a lesbian at prom before? IDIOTS

6:11 am

crosshair

some states still make such a big deal of it;((

6:11 am

Trifioso

no, it's a public school, and to me that is the whole problem.

6:11 am

Trifioso

no, it's a public school, and to me that is the whole problem.

6:11 am

herinfernallady

If ''those sort of people are in the closet we don't care'' head desk

6:11 am

Trifioso

how dare they say she can't attend a public school function?

6:12 am

crosshair

ahem..we have been marrying same sex couples for 3 years now people..get over it..my god..once again my heart goes out to the girl

6:12 am

herinfernallady

My g.f in highschool busted a guys nose and jaw and four of the other bullies noses after they threw the first punch because she is gay

6:12 am

Nancy Boy

that is awful, Trif. The prom's a really big deal in America, too, isn't it? Canada has the right idea. though naturally, I'm biased.

6:13 am

Trifioso

mine too, crossy. She is very, very brave to take a stand

6:13 am

Trifioso

Prom is KING in the south, nancy

6:13 am

crosshair

i would be inclined to haul the schools arse before a judge

6:13 am

herinfernallady

I personal can't see an issue because to me gender and preference is all just box's people put other people in so they feel secure in their world

6:14 am

Nancy Boy

I wonder if they are doing that, Crossy...I mean, the school's reasoning isn't exactly going to stand up, is it

6:14 am

crosshair

nope,it is not

6:14 am

Trifioso

I would assume it will head in that direction, crossy. but the poor girl is in for a lot of hate wrapped in a lifetime of stupid.

6:14 am

herinfernallady

My old highschool is crap

6:15 am

crosshair

yup,it is just a different version of the 60,s in the deep south..a waste

6:15 am

Nancy Boy

I can't complain. Our school had a prom...and I was in charge of organizing it!

6:15 am

Trifioso

LOL nancy - rock on! what was your theme?

6:16 am

crosshair

we humans are so slow to learn our lessons are we not/;(

6:16 am

Trifioso

incremental, crossy.

6:16 am

herinfernallady

Nancy you remind me of IJ in school

6:17 am

Nancy Boy

We had a very vague Shakespeare theme...lots of beautiful outfits that were semi-costume but sort of not, as well. No, it was great. We threw it outdoors so luckily the weather was perfect!

Nancy Boy

6:18 am

herinfernallady

IJ was this fantastic guy in High School that stood up to a homophobic teacher by saying to her '' I wouldn't expect much from someone still dressing in the 70's'' before walking out

6:19 am

Trifioso

Trifioso

6:20 am

Nancy Boy

6:59 am

ADHDWordLover

do you really ruby? I hate it sometimes

6:59 am

rubyfoo

does it work for you with voices?

6:59 am

Trifioso

c'mon up! It's LOVELY where I live - seriously. 30 minutes to cape cod, 30 minutes to boston, 15 minutes to the beach, an hour from great skiing, and I live in the woods. I truly have it all at hand

6:59 am

ADHDWordLover

?? you mean the sound of a voice? or voices in my head??????

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Smell is one of my memory triggers

7:00 am

rubyfoo

I can read a movie review, not see the film, hear one voice from it and know which movie it is

7:00 am

ADHDWordLover

jk yes, I relive, see, feel, smell just about everything.

7:00 am

rubyfoo

sound of a voice - lol - no voices in my head!

7:00 am

ADHDWordLover

well that is impressive.

7:01 am

herinfernallady

That is impressive Ruby

7:01 am

crosshair

well,time to go soap down this mass of muscle..bbs..semi poof

7:01 am

rubyfoo

when my husband likes me (rarely), he thinks it's wonderful; the rest of the time he says my head is filled with inconsequential garbage. Nice. That's because I don't read philosophy....

7:01 am

ADHDWordLover

yes it works with everything, but voices? I remember/relive hurtful things too and it takes great effort to :

7:01 am

ADHDWordLover

put it away

7:01 am

rubyfoo

I think the bad stuff is just part of the package

7:02 am

ADHDWordLover

my family teases me; they used to say I remember the womb, now they say I remember conception (eeeuuu!)

7:02 am

rubyfoo

the only stuff I don't remember clearly is when I was on Tamoxifen for 2 1/2 yrs and it took away, temporarily thank God, my memory. I couldn't even spell or do crosswords

7:02 am

ADHDWordLover

I remember my grandfather who died when I was 18 months old.

7:02 am

rubyfoo

eewww

7:03 am

ADHDWordLover

everything about him

7:03 am

rubyfoo

I can remember being bathed in the kitchen sink, so I couldn't have been very old!

7:03 am

ADHDWordLover

I bathed my son in the sink till he was 3 lol

7:03 am

rubyfoo

I rembmer the way both of my grandmothers smelled, one good, one bad

7:04 am

herinfernallady

ONe of my friends says I have Synesthesia which is linked to schizophrenia to which me being a smart arse responded wiht ''is it bad to respond to the voices in your head''

7:04 am

ADHDWordLover

but the bad stuff is horrid. like my mom's cancer, my dad's cancer (he died recently)

7:04 am

ADHDWordLover

did several rounds of therapy to help rid me of nightmares

7:04 am

rubyfoo

yes, but then I'm sure you remember all the good stuff about them, too

7:04 am

Trifioso

oh GOD - just went to feed the dogs, and a mouse ran out of the pantry and across my bare foot! SHRIEK! LOL, guess there go the visiting plans....

7:04 am

herinfernallady

Ruby you are a worthy person. Don't let someone tell you otherwise

7:05 am

rubyfoo

I'm sorry about your dad. Mine died in 2002 and although I miss him, it is my mother I think about, and she died in '97

7:05 am

ADHDWordLover

i have a sister responded to those voices; poor thing. mental illness is so hard to deal with (hers, not me)

7:05 am

herinfernallady

AND Ruby if you were my mum or lived near me you so woul be at my house

7:05 am

rubyfoo

does she take her meds?

7:05 am

herinfernallady

AD I joke because it keeps me sane

7:05 am

ADHDWordLover

ruby, repeat after me: I AM WORTHY! I AM WORTHY!

7:06 am

rubyfoo

thank you herin; I am truly touched by that. I never had a daughter!

7:06 am

Trifioso

herin when you hear music, does it make colors in your head? what I mean is, do you think of songs as "the blue song" "the yellow song" etc.?

7:06 am

rubyfoo

and my husband is a jerk, my husband is a jerk (if a very smart one lol)

7:06 am

herinfernallady

It does Trifs.

7:06 am

hego

Hi Gang.

7:07 am

rubyfoo

I like the idea of colors for music. I don't have that

7:07 am

herinfernallady

HI Hego

7:07 am

rubyfoo

hello hego, we're talking about memory and self-worth

7:07 am

herinfernallady

I can see things in the music. I am very good at reading people

7:07 am

ADHDWordLover

tx ruby, i miss my mom too, she died in Jan. 96 just 11 months after diagnosis

7:07 am

herinfernallady

And as it is going to sound weird smelling too. I mean I can smell 'sense when b.f is sick

7:08 am

Trifioso

that is, in fact, one of the hallmarks of synethenesia, but I have never heard it linked to schiczophrenia

7:08 am

hego

very philosophical

7:08 am

Trifioso

and I cannot spell today!

7:08 am

rubyfoo

does anybody get songs, frequently old stupid ones, in their head?

7:08 am

hego

Happens to me all the time Ruby

7:08 am

Trifioso

ALL THE TIME ruby. As in, all the time. I always, always have a song in my head. the Germans call that "ear worms"

7:08 am

rubyfoo

that isn't weird Herin, mothers have always said they could smell their baby's fevers!

7:08 am

ADHDWordLover

I can read people and it scares some, but I an not good a judging people, cuz I see good in everyone and I am wrong at times

7:08 am

herinfernallady

That is called Earworms Ruby

7:09 am

ADHDWordLover

but it's true, there is "fever smell"

7:09 am

rubyfoo

really or are you pulling my ear???

7:09 am

Trifioso

trust me, I can totally smell that my two girls are sick today. gross, but too true

7:09 am

herinfernallady

No really

7:09 am

Riverdance

Good Morning everyone - how is the grid looking this morning - just starting and only here for a bit

7:09 am

ADHDWordLover

ear worms?

7:10 am

hego

I always have some song playing in my head.

7:10 am

rubyfoo

no, that's not gross, that's motherhood! And the vet smells the dogs, especially their ears!

7:10 am

herinfernallady

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earworm

7:10 am

EspritdJean

just s figure of speech, a song that you can't get out of your head

7:10 am

hego

Hi MNH

7:10 am

herinfernallady

HI momn

7:10 am

ADHDWordLover

fever breath has a very distinct odor

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Trifs that smell lingers in your nose

7:10 am

ADHDWordLover

ruby, do you have very graphic (violent or otherwise) and colorful dreams?

7:11 am

hego

I can see me sniffing my patients.

7:11 am

Riverdance

I joined Pro last night but still cant those cute little people and flags to work - what am I doing wrong

7:11 am

rubyfoo

frequently they're realy stupid ones from before I was born, e,g, "My pa gave me a nickle to buy a pickle, I didn't buy the pickle, I bought some chew gum....etc" How bad is that?

7:11 am

Trifioso

thank god for febreze....tertiare HOSED the living room last night, so I will be in there all day trying to scrub it all out.

7:11 am

herinfernallady

Hego you a doctor or nurse?

7:11 am

Trifioso

....and thanks for that ruby.....

7:11 am

hego

A nurse herin

7:11 am

ADHDWordLover

oh and ruby, were you or your friend implying that synesthesia is bad??

7:11 am

rubyfoo

I have wonderful dreams, frequently "starring" movie personalities and frequently without my being in them. I love it. But, then again, it may be the Xanax I take before I go to bed

7:12 am

ADHDWordLover

me too hego

7:12 am

rubyfoo

I don't know what synesthesia is

7:12 am

hego

In a free clinic so some ofour patients are VERY fragrant. lol

7:12 am

herinfernallady

AD that was me and my friend was a tad concerned

7:12 am

ADHDWordLover

do you know what synesthesia is?

7:12 am

herinfernallady

Hego in a hospital you have so many chemicals masking the smells you are likely descentised.

7:12 am

hego

Really ADHD.

7:13 am

herinfernallady

OR in your case the patient them self may be a little to ''interesting '' to smell anything else

7:13 am

herinfernallady

Yes AD i do

7:13 am

ADHDWordLover

hego... lolololol I remember one patient who had 4 inch toenails and socks that were stuck to them

7:13 am

hego

No I was in a hospital many years. Never got desenstized, unfortunately.

7:13 am

herinfernallady

Ruby Synesthesia is when you see colours as numbers

7:13 am

rubyfoo

will someone explain synesthesia? It may be what I have but, if yes, I think it's a good thing

7:13 am

rubyfoo

eeeew!

7:13 am

hego

LOL ADHD

7:14 am

rubyfoo

no, I thought it might be another memory thing....

7:14 am

ADHDWordLover

easy explanation? could be related tho.

7:14 am

ADHDWordLover

when one sense is stimulated by another

7:15 am

Trifioso

whew. school just phoned. if secondo is up to it, she can still be in the school play tonight. BIG relief. about 30% of the cast is home with the same bug, so this could get real interesting!

7:15 am

rubyfoo

I think the fact or our having to memorize so much stuff in school when I was young (100 yrs ago), it improved memory for all of us

7:15 am

herinfernallady

O Trifs that is not good.

7:15 am

hego

I thought it was when your senses got mixed up. Like seeing sounds or smelling colors.

7:15 am

ADHDWordLover

a sensation that normally occurs in one sense modality occurs when aother modality is stimulated

7:15 am

herinfernallady

Yep Hego

7:16 am

hego

Or that.

7:16 am

rubyfoo

and I still remember mnonics [sp?] from biology class. Who remembers "keep Peter's comb out of fat george's scalp

7:16 am

Trifioso

she hasn't barfed in a few hours, so she might be pulling it together. a bigger concern now will be dehydration, and on stage fainting. oh, the joy!

7:16 am

stan

he

7:16 am

herinfernallady

Ok Get some err pedolite

7:17 am

Trifioso

my very earnest mother just sat upon nothing positive - I remember that one from school!

7:17 am

herinfernallady

http://pedialyte.com/ this stuff

7:17 am

ADHDWordLover

I can't agree w/that ruby for me anyway. as soon as i hit middle school, my ADD brain had a terrible time remembering school stuff; i was too nervous

7:17 am

rubyfoo

no, that's not what I have, I think eidetic was more like it

7:17 am

ADHDWordLover

got 4 minutes to get to the next class or else detention; get to your locker, different lunch times every day...

7:17 am

hego

Do you remember everything Ruby?

7:18 am

rubyfoo

no, my school experience was very different

7:18 am

herinfernallady

AD that would have killed me. I have to have a routine

7:18 am

Trifioso

herin, I am WELL versed in pedialyte, no worries, but thanks!

7:18 am

rubyfoo

almost hego, except how to play babble lol

7:18 am

ADHDWordLover

I know and we had a rotating schedule

7:18 am

herinfernallady

Ok sorry

7:18 am

rubyfoo

where did you go to school?

7:18 am

herinfernallady

Thank goodness we never had that

7:19 am

ADHDWordLover

I hate remembering everything. my exhusband said my memory will kill me some day

7:19 am

Trifioso

no, no, no need for sorry! I am delighted at the way you are always so helpful

7:19 am

Trifioso

no, no, no need for sorry! I am delighted at the way you are always so helpful

7:19 am

hego

Ruby me too. Not as well as when I was young. Then I never forgot.

7:19 am

rubyfoo

the NYC schools were wonderful when I was young; I'm sure they are less good now

7:19 am

herinfernallady

I am even organised in the sense of Mango folder - M is for Monday

7:19 am

herinfernallady

Trifs I couldn't remember what the stuff would be called in teh states

7:19 am

herinfernallady

I also vote Tea and toast

7:20 am

herinfernallady

or plain noodles

7:20 am

rubyfoo

my memory can be a source of great pleasure when I have nothing to do or can't get to sleep. It's been an interesting life, to put it mildly!!!

7:20 am

ADHDWordLover

Well maybe in one sense we're lucky ruby... usu. when you get older, you start forgetting stuff, I have more to remember

7:20 am

hego

I went to school in Lyndhurst, NJ

7:20 am

herinfernallady

Have yuo seen the book about the lady that doesn't forget a thing?

7:20 am

hego

Same schools my mom went to.

7:21 am

ADHDWordLover

agree ruby. One thing I do love is that when I miss my mom so much, I bring her to me in my dreams; and she's not sick in my dreams, she's chubby and healthy and has hair!

7:21 am

rubyfoo

my husband thinks he has no memory loss because he remembers EVERYTHING from elem school and jr high, but NOTHING from last month! lol

7:21 am

ADHDWordLover

The Woman Who Can't Forget

7:21 am

ADHDWordLover

7:24 am

periwinkle

7:24 am

rubyfoo

I think maybe she should get a Darwin award

7:24 am

periwinkle

she might be trying for that ruby, but she will surely kill herself

ADHDWordLover

7:25 am

7:27 am

Riverdance

Three Brazilian men were flying in a light aircraft at low altitude when another plane approached. It appears that they decided to moon the occupants of the other plane, but lost control of their own aircraft and crashed. They were all found dead in the wreckage with their pants around their ankles.

7:28 am

Flosey, is that William?

10:59 am

FMitch

How did the meeting go?

11:00 am

flosey

not getting the second pe6/21, clue please?

11:00 am

Haz1558

It went really well. They (manager and worker) came, poked and prodded and took photos and agreed that it needed to be replaced. They have 'contacts' and asked to leave it with them for a couple of weeks to ask around - so very positive.

11:00 am

flosey

yes Haz, he's chewing on his daddy's glasses

11:01 am

Haz1558

However, they didn't have time to have tea or coffee, so my scones were not needed.

11:01 am

Haz1558

He's grown so much, flosey - he's still a sweetheart!

11:01 am

flosey

ty Haz, going over to see him next week - haven't seen him since Christmas

11:02 am

Haz1558

I'm sure you can't wait - it will be lovely for you.

11:02 am

flosey

thanks Haz, feel like I'm missing so much!

11:03 am

flosey

but get regular reports on everything he's accomplishing

11:03 am

Haz1558

Ah, but you can't cuddle a report!

11:03 am

FMitch

OH well all good then.
Ata turned up early so has already gone, mainly as I kikced her out as the M25 on Friday is hellish and she was looking so v tired.

11:04 am

flosey

so true Haz

11:04 am

Haz1558

Oh, what a shame! I was out with Spangle on a nice walk - hope she gets home safely.

11:05 am

FMitch

due to circumstances Hobbit was let at home today too :(

11:05 am

jmcnrick

hi all

11:05 am

FMitch

Hi jmc

11:06 am

Haz1558

Another time, FM, that purple collar will appear another time.

11:06 am

Haz1558

Hello, jmc.

11:06 am

jmcnrick

is my word from the grid showing up?

11:07 am

Haz1558

It is when I click on your profile.

11:07 am

jmcnrick

that's what i get for lurking

11:07 am

FMitch

I told her to email me when she got back hom eand the realised I probably sounded like her Mother :)

11:08 am

jmcnrick

no just a concerned and loving friend FM

11:08 am

Haz1558

But it's understandable that you worry. It is Ata...

11:09 am

flosey

I still see your dog, Haz

11:09 am

FMitch

and I have to be off, TTFN sorry to cut and run.

11:09 am

Haz1558

See you later, FM.

11:09 am

flosey

not finding the pr6/27, first one

11:09 am

Haz1558

I haven't changed my icon, flosey, it was jmc asking about hers.

11:10 am

flosey

oh, sorry

11:10 am

Haz1558

pr6/27 is the plural of pr5/16.

11:10 am

jmcnrick

bye FM

11:10 am

Haz1558

pr5/16 - pr, two letters of satisfaction, finish with a late vowel.

11:11 am

Haz1558

Or, backwards angelic musical instrument, wrapped up with the final vowel.

11:11 am

flosey

oh, thanks Haz, how dense!

11:11 am

Haz1558

No problem!

11:11 am

jmcnrick

liked the second clue ty

11:12 am

Haz1558

I hadn't realised that it worked until I looked at the word again.

11:13 am

flosey

well, that pr9 is strange, is that referring to Harry and Wm.

11:13 am

Haz1558

Good question, maybe when they were babies?

11:13 am

flosey

lol

11:14 am

jmcnrick

ty i was doing all sorts of strange things with the end of the pr6/24

11:15 am

11:17 am

rururocks

what carpet bowling? is that anything like carpetbagging?

11:17 am

Haz1558

na4/8 - useful to coppers (or the fuzz!)

11:18 am

Haz1558

no4/4 - backwards dewrinkler or just plain sushi

11:18 am

ursh

hello all - i am completely lost on the first cr6 - please clue

11:19 am

jmcnrick

na4/8 helps is misspelled :-)

11:19 am

jmcnrick

nbt

11:19 am

Haz1558

cr6 - plural of cr5/14

11:19 am

jmcnrick

i guess the no4/4 is a fish for sure!

11:20 am

Haz1558

Absolutely.

11:20 am

jmcnrick

gotta go get ready for a trip to NYC bbl

11:20 am

Haz1558

Bye jmc.

11:21 am

ursh

i am working from gremlin's list (lickety wont open for me) and he has a cr6/24 as the first cr??

11:21 am

Haz1558

No, the first one is cr5/14 -c plus a water plant

11:21 am

mixi6

there's a cr5 before the plural

11:22 am

ursh

oh no sorry i see i am reading his list wrongly tx haz

11:22 am

Haz1558

No problem.

11:33 am

stevedallas

11:34 am

stevedallas

tks haz

11:34 am

mixi6

the su9 is a su9 word. LOL

11:34 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - it's quite a nice grid.

11:34 am

Dachef

96.4% of all statistics are made up on the spot. My favourite stat of all time, that do?

11:35 am

Haz1558

Hello, Dachef. How are you?

11:36 am

Dachef

fine.hot. tired. cranky. pick any combo.

11:37 am

Haz1558

You're missing home, aren't you? You just wish you could be here to share in the joy of a British Airways strike and the threat of a rail strike.

11:37 am

Deeha

Ow wow just got a 9 letter one - is this a record!!It is such a silly word too I only put it in to amuse me as I was getting a bit bored!!

11:38 am

Haz1558

It is a bit surprising, isn't it?

11:39 am

Dachef

ah, yes, the Great British striking public. Gotta love 'em.

11:39 am

Haz1558

It's not the same without Arthur Scargill.

11:40 am

Dachef

Im supposed to be flyng back next week - are the airlines and trains really on strike again??

11:40 am

Haz1558

British airways cabin crew are coming out specially for Easter, and the rail strike seems to have been dreamed up quite recently.

11:41 am

Deeha

Be fair Haz not so many strikes as there were 20 or so years ago, The Blessed Margaret drew a lot of teeth - like or.................!!

11:42 am

Deeha

But perhaps that is because there is very little British industry left now"!!

11:42 am

Haz1558

Oh, I agree, it's no longer as regular an occurrence as it used to be - and they don't seem to last as long either.

11:44 am

Dachef

Right, I should be ok then - well, I say ok, I'll have, of course to endure the Spanish inquisition onto why I am coming home, wait for some spotty little flunkey to disembowel my luggage and laugh at my underwear, and then endure the indignity of standing in the rain waiting for a train that will be so inevitably 6 hours late its a wonder they dont include it on the timetable and then it'll probably break down as usual in a field anyway. Travelling by public transport in the UK means adding two or three days onto your trip.

11:45 am

Dachef

rant over.

11:45 am

Deeha

So young and so cynical Dachef!!

11:45 am

Haz1558

You didn't get that job with the English Tourist Board, did you?

11:45 am

Deeha

lol Haz!!

11:45 am

Dachef

That was a direct quote from the English Tourist Board website!

11:48 am

Haz1558

What have you learned from your trip to the US? What insights to the LA way of life?

11:49 am

Dachef

I quite like it here. Can't handle all the advertising tho - every website, pavement, tv, spare bit of ground is dedicated to advertising, and it tends to get rammed down your throat a bit.

11:50 am

Dachef

But the people are cool, the weather is absolutely awesome, and some of the scenary is stunning.

11:50 am

Haz1558

I wondered if anything would be awesome.

11:51 am

Dachef

now who's being cynical? This morning I had donuts and mountain dew for breakfast. Oh my God, I've gone native!!!!!!!

11:51 am

Haz1558

Have you changed your accent or anything?

11:51 am

Dachef

hope not. We'll see.

11:51 am

Haz1558

I just know that any Americans I've met attach 'awesome' to anything and everything.

11:52 am

hshliz

Psst....we drink mountain dew and eat donuts for breakfast in NY too

11:53 am

Haz1558

My husband has a terrible habit of adjusting his accent according to who he's with (he doesn't realise he's doing it).

11:53 am

Dachef

I think I used that word before I came here though. I do exactly the same thing as your hubbie with the accent thing - have to wait for someone to point out that I'm doing it.

11:55 am

Haz1558

It can be very funny - I know from his voice whether he's talking to a farmer or an English client. We once did a questionnaire when we were in Donegal and he ended up having the strongest southern brogue to mirror the man who was asking the questions.

11:56 am

Haz1558

(talking on the phone, that is, to either the farmer or the English person)

11:56 am

Dachef

I once got asked by an Irish man in a bar if I was taking the mickey out of him? He seemed quite annoyed and I couldn't figure out what I had said until someone pointed out that I was apparently mimiking his accent.

11:57 am

Dachef

must be a man thing.

11:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, that's always my fear, that people will think he's mocking them. I wonder if it's to do with having a musical ear? Do you sing?

11:59 am

Deeha

No I used to work for a work fir a West End Casino owned by a Jewish family and I soaked up all the J=ex0pressions till my boss accused me of being more Jewish than he was!! (My life already!!)

11:59 am

Dachef

nope, I have the musical tendencies of Helen Keller. Im quite empathic tho - I can usually put myself in other people's shoes quite easily.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Oh well, back to the drawing board - that's my theory shot out of the water!

12:01 pm

Haz1558

So, maybe you're unconsciously trying to make yourself more understandable to the other person?

12:01 pm

Boobear

hi all

12:02 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Boo.

12:03 pm

Dachef

maybe. It could also be a sign of a need to be accepted, or even a desire to blend into the background and not draw attention to yourself.But thats just amateur psychology.

12:04 pm

Haz1558

But you're not thinking of getting therapy or anything?

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Those psychologist's adverts haven't convinced you that you need help?

12:05 pm

Dachef

no, Im all cured now. The doctors said so. I can go out in the street on my own and everything.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

That's impressive.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Nothing says you're sane like a certificate from the doctor.

12:08 pm

Haz1558

Anyway, good to chat, but it's time to get to the kitchen. Bye and all the best for travelling!

12:09 pm

Dachef

ty, take care.

12:38 pm

Jabber

I think you can have a good ear for dialect without having musical talent. My second daughter does. She also very easily picks up accents and dialects, has since a child. I consider that ability a real talent because it allows you to mirror the other person. Probably if you explain to them what it's about they would not take offense. Very interesting ability.

never fails to amaze me what is considered a word and what isn't! Guess it's like the language, rules, but always exceptions to them!

It won't ever be said of me that I linger and take clues and never give any

3:33 pm

hego

Never!

3:33 pm

hego

I have to go now. G'nite All!

3:34 pm

ADHDWordLover

there was a chat a while back that I came in on where people were complaining about "certain" babblers who ask for clues, never chat, and never give clues. Other babblers were not happy about that. They said... "You know who ..." but I don't know who

3:34 pm

ADHDWordLover

nite hego

3:35 pm

ADHDWordLover

hego, you're not too far from me

3:35 pm

ADHDWordLover

I'd really love to have a babblers bash

3:35 pm

ADHDWordLover

anybody here?

3:36 pm

redturtlehead

i;m working on the grid. ADHD, there are a lot of babblers from your area, Mass, NH, RI area...

3:36 pm

Bugsaw

ADHD, dc Seain is in your area and he is often behind the Babbler bashes on the east coast

3:36 pm

ADHDWordLover

how many babblers usu show up?

3:37 pm

ADHDWordLover

check my profile for clues (I tried to clue the oddities)

3:37 pm

redturtlehead

dc seain is not in ADHD's area, he is in the DC area.

3:38 pm

ADHDWordLover

that's 6 hours away at least

3:38 pm

redturtlehead

thats like 8 hours or more away.

3:38 pm

Bugsaw

Connecticut is pretty close isn't it red?

3:38 pm

redturtlehead

but you could take a train...

3:38 pm

redturtlehead

No bugs it isnt.

3:38 pm

Bugsaw

oh, in the west, that is close

3:39 pm

redturtlehead

8 hrs drive for a lunch is not usually something I did even when I lived on the west coast!!!

3:39 pm

ADHDWordLover

not really... i'm in litchfield county. dc is 5 1/2 hours from bridgeport by train, and bridgeport is over an hour from me.

3:39 pm

redturtlehead

it could be doable, if you really wanted to do it.

3:40 pm

ADHDWordLover

u r right bugsie. my husband is from maine. we go there several times a year *northern, 3 mi. from canada border). "Down the road" usually means an hour drive

3:40 pm

dcseain

here in the east, more than 3h is considered far. For example, we daytrip to Philadelphia or the Delaware/Maryland beaches, nearby VA/WV mts by car, but New York City we take train, as 5h too far for day, and parking too much.

3:40 pm

redturtlehead

I usually see like, pictures of 4-5 people at DC's meet ups.

3:40 pm

dcseain

hello, :)

3:40 pm

redturtlehead

HI DC!

3:40 pm

ADHDWordLover

well speak of the devil... hi dc

3:40 pm

dcseain

yes red, from VA, MD, DE, SE PA, and NJ, once from TX

3:40 pm

dcseain

hello red and dodo

3:41 pm

ADHDWordLover

is there a way to search for a babbler without looking through all the rankings?

3:41 pm

ADHDWordLover

how many babblers usu show up for a babbler's bash?

3:42 pm

ADHDWordLover

I'd love to have a summer party here. it's such a quaint little town where we live, the smallest in the state

3:42 pm

redturtlehead

ADHD, there are so many people that live in your area I think you could do a get together up there quite easily.

3:42 pm

dcseain

it varies. We had 8 at our first one, 4 at our second. North NJ usually has 4-7. We're looking at 8-12 for the May one in Baltimore.

3:42 pm

dcseain

in England, it's been 2-5 so far

3:42 pm

ADHDWordLover

people usu bring tents to the parties; we've got woods and 2 clear acres to pitch a tent

3:43 pm

dcseain

yes, a Hartfordish meet-up would be a success i think

3:43 pm

dcseain

oh, nice!

3:43 pm

ADHDWordLover

how do i find a babbler who's not on my friend list yet?

3:43 pm

redturtlehead

I was really surprised when I did my work in NH how close all the states are...

3:43 pm

dcseain

search rankings usually. For whom are you looking?

3:44 pm

ADHDWordLover

bichon

3:44 pm

dcseain

yeah, when i lived in Boston, i was shocked to learn that people were taking classes at UMass Amherst, which turns out to be only 90 min away

3:44 pm

dcseain

easily findable with a search in the rankings

3:45 pm

ADHDWordLover

but there are so many people to look thru

3:46 pm

dcseain

open rankings and do ctrl+F then type bichon and search - it'll take you right to her, click on icon for profile

3:46 pm

dcseain

then add her to your friends to make it easier in the futur

3:46 pm

redturtlehead

DC, you are a computer whiz. Indeed.

3:46 pm

ADHDWordLover

tx dc. didn't know how to do search. brb

3:48 pm

redturtlehead

DC how are things going? My parents had a ton of flooding the other week...

3:48 pm

dcseain

today, i got regular maintenance on car, replaced the last wiper blade. Now, change bulbs in the fog lights, then i'll pass inspections and can renew plates. :)

3:48 pm

dcseain

well here, other than TONS of fallen BIG trees

3:49 pm

dcseain

minor flooding in Alexandria, VA and parts of DC

3:49 pm

redturtlehead

lots of work with the trees....the flood waters have subsided for my parents, they luckily live at the top of a hill...

3:50 pm

dcseain

oh, glad to hear that they're okay - dry basement and all?

3:50 pm

redturtlehead

Well, they have a dirt basement, I have never seen it, but I assume its OK.

3:50 pm

dcseain

heh. cool

3:51 pm

redturtlehead

its an old home.

3:51 pm

redturtlehead

is it VW bug day? ADHD has one and you do too?

3:51 pm

dcseain

my aunt has a part-dirt, part concrete basement. Dirt part dates from the 1876 house. Concrete part from the 1879 addition.

3:52 pm

dcseain

we both haven't changed from an antique car theme from a couple weeks ago.

3:52 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no, VW bugs are now considered antique?

3:52 pm

dcseain

well, our early 70 models are now

3:53 pm

redturtlehead

So...you and I are also now antiques.... :(

3:53 pm

dcseain

oh! the color is puCe, isn't it?

3:53 pm

redturtlehead

were you trying puSe?

3:54 pm

firefly779

i finally figured out the spelling of that color today, after being frustrated over my assumed spelling of it in several other grids

3:54 pm

dcseain

quite so, by automotive standards. And by the standards of what we grew up with compared to what we live with. I never imagined being able to easily, let alone affordably, chat with people from around the world

3:54 pm

dcseain

i was, red :">

3:54 pm

dcseain

yeah, me too, firefly, my hindbrain knew, but fore had forgotten.

3:55 pm

redturtlehead

I was thinking of that the other day..... How things have changed....

3:55 pm

ADHDWordLover

tx dc. ctrl F works, but to add to friends list, don't i have to wait till she's on line?

3:55 pm

redturtlehead

I mean, when I was 10 we had no cell phones, or microwaves, or internet....

3:55 pm

ADHDWordLover

she lives not far from me, right here in CT

3:55 pm

dcseain

maybe you do, i forget

3:56 pm

dcseain

ah, yes, as it happens in the who's online tab :)

3:56 pm

dcseain

you're right

3:57 pm

dcseain

i just hit halfway - i doubt i'll finish today, as i have evening plans and need to get dinner before.

3:57 pm

redturtlehead

I couldnt finish yesterday so I am going to try today....

3:58 pm

ADHDWordLover

bbl clues are on my profile... spread the word

3:58 pm

dcseain

coolio, thx

3:58 pm

dcseain

i've done all the biggies lately, so not going to sweat this one too much.

3:59 pm

redturtlehead

but I am taking a break now. I hope we did not upset Bugs....she left shortly after we were trying to explain the distance between Ct and DC. I never want to upset, but sometimes it seems I do....

3:59 pm

dcseain

taht su9 is bogus

3:59 pm

dcseain

be well red, and hopefully not :)

4:00 pm

dcseain

so, IMO, is the pr9, ty adhd

4:01 pm

firefly779

omg, i agree on the su9

4:10 pm

periwinkle

hello, help with le6 pls

4:10 pm

firefly779

Ha 4/9 everyone! Here is a story of clues.Some child stars are very cu 4/6! I thought that Eileen Quinlinn was su9/78 in the movie "Little Or6/24 Annie". Some are even cu 5/14 than cu 4/6 like Jonathan Lipnicki. But then again some grow up to be cr5/14s like Gary Coleman.He walked off the set of The Insider in a big hu 4/12 last week. Some actors fe4/7 like they need attention so they fe 4/8 the paparazzi w/their very bad behavior which adds fu 4/8 to the fire. Then the paparazzi ha4/6 on their behavior for days because they know people are unable to pe 4/5 their eyes off the television set if there is a story about an actor's behavior Some get into legal trouble and have to pay high fe4/7 which creates a huge up6/24 and fu 5/18 more rumors. Some actors are pe6/24 by rumors no matter what. Pr 6/24 William of Whales is harrassed by papparazzi as well. The paparazzi se 6/21s their target and goes right after them. Some stars do not even sl5/12 at night because of the paparazzi. Some stars have been su 4/5s and su 4/6 the paparazzi. I guess that's the pr 5/14 of fame. Some of actors dig themselves de 4/6 & make a fatal er 5/10 with drugs and then cr 5/20.However, some child stars refu4/8 to live life in the limelight. Some of them also el 5/12 to de 5/12 themselves from drugs. Some child actors turn out to be ni 4/5 people. Some stars are ni 5/12 than others. I don't know what el 4/4 to write about so my story is over.Now I am going to go ir 4/4 some clothes. I'll be back later to help with clues if needed.

9:10 pm

NANCY

Yes, but the hassle of a 24 hour trip to the states being 9 months preggers is kind of a long haul and they would have to take the baby back over there since they will still be there for another year or so

9:10 pm

9:12 pm

stidmama

would the baby have dual citizenship if born over there?

9:13 pm

*suddenly wide awake*

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

i may be too old though to make any use of it

10:58 pm

stidmama

Oooooh. That wd be right up your alley!

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

so i am undecided

10:58 pm

Bugsaw

I am sure it would be easy for you. Would it help financially or is it just for your own benefit?

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

there are some interesting programs though

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

i think it would allow me to do some work that i find interesting

10:59 pm

jmcnrick

there are those who know me who would not be so sure i would be good at it [smile]

10:59 pm

stidmama

I think if you enjoy "retooling" your career then you should. We geriatric grad students get a lot out of it

10:59 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for or5-12? Thanks

Hi

11:02 pm

PAV3

jmc..you can't be but a day over....hmmmm how shall we say....29?

11:03 pm

PAV3

good eve mi'Lady!

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Pav

11:03 pm

gapeach

Sweet dreams, jm.

11:04 pm

herinfernallady

hope you are all good

11:06 pm

PAV3

we are doing much better...after weeks of torture, I finally relented and removed the contraption the poopies didn't like - causing them to pee on my floor - and returned to the disposable pee pads on the rug. They've stopped peeing on the floor....

11:07 pm

herinfernallady

Nappies for them

11:07 pm

PAV3

i did consider that as well...

11:09 pm

herinfernallady

It wont hurt them is it an issue with them or a training issue?

11:10 pm

PAV3

it was a training issue....for me. I thought if I could substitute a less costly (in the long run) pee station, I could save $. They just love being spoilt and I love spoiling them , I guess...otherwise it wasn't a big issue...

11:11 pm

herinfernallady

Iam not saying you are a bad owner I mean sometimes animals get old and dribble

11:11 pm

PAV3

I resemble that...touche'!

11:12 pm

herinfernallady

How old are the poopies?

11:13 pm

PAV3

Precious is 6, or thereabouts, and Joey is approaching 5.

11:13 pm

herinfernallady

Still they are not too old to get into a pee routine

11:15 pm

PAV3

I got Precious from the owner/breeder because they said she "piddled" everytime they saw her...all she needed was more constant attention at that probleme went away...Joey was a shelter find, and I'll just say he wasn't trained properly to begin with. They do have routines and stick to them quite fiercely, esp Joey.

11:16 pm

PAV3

speaking of routines, it's time for Joey's last walk for the night...brb

11:17 pm

herinfernallady

Loves Pav. Good love to the poopies

11:17 pm
