I would kindly ask for your good thoughts for me tomorrow.....I am mighty, mighty terrified about the whole thing. Please, pray for me to come through it with strength, and oh, please, some dignity. Thanks
7:15 am

Nef
haven't seen you for a long time, muse. Are we just on at different times these days or have you been MIA lately?
10:58 am
mymuseisme
mostly MIA although I've started dropping in more frequently. Family issues, a new job with very long hours made doing this nearly impossible.
10:59 am
mymuseisme
though you could always catch me on FB ... have you joined that club yet?
11:00 am
Nef
I understand. I used to try to finish every grid bt no longer have time myself. I am on FB, but I don't chat much there either (same issue: not enough time these days)

hmmm, do I have you as FB friend? I know people here, but on FB can't always keep the new names with the monikers.
11:02 am

11:03 am
stidmama
and thanks for the old people clue, too, ormal!
11:03 am
Nef
stid, you really sounded excited the other day when you got to teach (I popped in after you'd left, I was just lurking for a few minutes)
11:04 am
stidmama
YES. I had two weeks where I got to teach all five classes for this teacher. The first week was something fun, this past week it was *shudder* bibliographies. BUT both kids and I survived, and we all learned a lot.
11:04 am
mymuseisme
Oh yes, I remember Stid. I enjoyed doing an LA class with them on Anne Frank (more discuss than "taught", topic on WWII and PC texting language. Hormones rampant, but I liked the ?s they asked.
11:04 am

happy movie Tuesday! Saw a dopey French comedy only about half of which I could understand, even though my French is pretty good.
1:29 pm
rubyfoo
my friend said it had a lot of slang and they talked very fast. She was being kind, I think!
1:30 pm
FMitch
well so long as you had a laugh I hope it was fun.
1:30 pm
rubyfoo
Yesterday I tried to plant some moss recovered from our parking because the rocks around part of the garden look really raw.
1:31 pm
rubyfoo
I understood the movie, but not the jokes except for sight gags.
1:31 pm
rubyfoo
It is such a pleasure to go to the cinema here and, of course, out to lunch.....
1:32 pm
FMitch
ah a lovely leisurely lunch, one of the things I enjoyed most about my visits to France.
1:32 pm
FMitch
and Spain, and Italy :)
1:32 pm
rubyfoo
very nice but, naturally, husband was annoyed
1:33 pm
rubyfoo
tant pis!
1:33 pm
FMitch
and Portugal and and ... ... )
1:33 pm
rubyfoo
but I love the food in England!
1:34 pm
rubyfoo
you can't beat bangers and mash or any English breakfast!
1:35 pm
FMitch
yes there is very good food here too but it is a different culture.
Oh, how are your plans coming along for your visit in May?
1:35 pm
EvaNadine
food? england?
*confused*
1:35 pm
rubyfoo
I've had great meals there!
1:35 pm
FMitch
*shoves EvaN* We have good food you know!
1:35 pm
rubyfoo
so far so good.....but don't have the dates yet
1:36 pm
EvaNadine
having never been a huge "meat and potatoes" gal, im not sure what else there is...hehe
1:36 pm
rubyfoo
and, of course, Mr. Nasty is not happy about the trip
1:36 pm
EvaNadine
oh wait, my grandma used to serve us Wheatabix. hehe
1:36 pm
FMitch
Oh you are treading on dangerous groud there my girl!
1:36 pm
rubyfoo
even the milk is better there!
1:37 pm
EvaNadine
no worries, FM. ive got nothing *against* meat-n-taters, was just never my favorite meal.
and since my (other) grandmother lived with us growing up, we had to have a proper full roast dinner every sunday night. which meant leftovers every monday and tuesday (and sometimes wednesday too!)
1:38 pm
rubyfoo
that sounds good to be, eva!
1:38 pm
EvaNadine
fish-n-chips. theres a yummy english meal. ;)
1:38 pm
EvaNadine
cheese sandwiches too
1:39 pm
rubyfoo
I lived in London for one 6-month period many years ago, and cooking was a pleasure. Ingredients were fabulous!
1:39 pm
EvaNadine
oh, or anything (beans, spaghetti, eggs) on toast. thats a typically english dinner.
toast on the side = breakfast. stuff ON toast = dinner.
thats what i learned from my parents. :)
1:40 pm
FMitch
eeew what cook book where they using?
1:40 pm
EvaNadine
the "i grew up right after WW2" cookbook...heh
1:41 pm
FMitch
Ahh well I guess we can't blame that.
1:41 pm
Nef
Hi people. Back again for a short bit; I'll probably be in and out for the rest of the afternoon due to DH keeping me busy.
1:41 pm
rubyfoo
hello nef
1:41 pm
EvaNadine
yes. the era of "you finish whats on your plate because youre lucky to have it." and "you have a garden because you need the food." and food rations...
1:42 pm
EvaNadine
to this day, i hafta remind my mom that its ok to stop eating when shes full...
1:43 pm
Nef
Hi ruby and FM and EvaN
1:43 pm
EvaNadine
hiya nef. :)
1:44 pm
Nef
EvaNadine, I hear you loud and clear! That sounds just like my family!
1:44 pm
rubyfoo
we're discussing English food
1:44 pm
EvaNadine
poor mom has been pretty sick for the last 2 weeks. just spoke with her on the phone today + she sounds awful. :(
1:45 pm
FMitch
Hve very strong memories of Grandma who came from Yorkire serving the Yorshire pudding first with gravy and then the next course would be the beef, potatoes and veg.
1:45 pm
Nef
<blush> I missed the English food part. I was referring to the clean your plate and garden for veggies
1:45 pm
rubyfoo
my mother made my sister finish her food but by the time I came along, she didn't care if I ate or not or if I played with my food or what. Just gave me what I liked and din't worry about it. PS, I'm skinny and my sister is overweight
1:45 pm
rubyfoo
my mother was very smart
1:45 pm
FMitch
Hope it's not too serious EvaN and that she feels better soon.
1:46 pm
Nef
I remember one of my brothers having to face the same plate with the peas for supper, breakfast and lunch because he just didn't like peas. :-(
1:46 pm
EvaNadine
FM, that was every meal i had growing up!
poor mom has pneumonia. the woman never gets sick, but when she does, its always something bad.
had to go to the ER on saturday -- seems she coughed so much and so hard that she tore the muscles in her neck!
1:47 pm
EvaNadine
nef -- i managed to almost drown in a bowl of soup once...
1:47 pm
rubyfoo
that's how my husband was raised.....he would sit in front of a plate of cold cauliflower until after his bedtime. I think that's just plain sadistic!
1:47 pm
Nef
Oh, Man, EvaN! That's a tough cough!
1:48 pm
EvaNadine
sad to say, shes no spring chicken, so i really hope she recovers ok!
1:48 pm
Nancy Boy
Ruby - I bet! I think if you're forced to eat everything in front of you, it's going to become a control issue at some point. Recovered anorexic talking here!
1:48 pm
Nancy Boy
(oh and, hello everyone :D)
1:48 pm
FMitch
Nancy Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:48 pm
Nef
LOL, EvaN! I did too, but it was in the hospital and I'd had too much morphine. I fell asleep face first into my soup! Luckily, a friend was there and pulled me out and called for help! :-)
1:49 pm
rubyfoo
I think so too. If food isn't a pleasure, then why eat?
1:49 pm
EvaNadine
*speeds over to NB in full-on snoggle mode*
1:49 pm
Nancy Boy
FMitch! Hello you :D
1:49 pm
Nancy Boy
*is snoggled* sorry to hear about your mum, Eva - fingers crossed for a quick recovery!
1:49 pm
EvaNadine
nef, sadly, i was just made to sit there until i finished. the near-death experience was enough to get me excused from the table, and my parents never tried THAT tactic again!
1:50 pm
FMitch
Nance haven't seen for for a while dear, how are you and is life treating you well?
1:50 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL, Nef! Great story :)
1:50 pm
EvaNadine
thanky, thanky. im sure she will recover soon enough -- i told her that a neck brace just was NOT the look i had in mind for my wedding. ;)
1:50 pm
Nancy Boy
just peachy thanks, FMitch :) think the last time I spoke to you was before I moved! how are you??
1:51 pm
FMitch
Oh wrap a silk scaf aund if need be EvaN :)
1:51 pm
Nancy Boy
(and whilst we're talking about resistance to food, I once held a mouthful of cabbage for THREE HOURS because I was a stubborn kid and refused to swallow it after having it forced into my mouth!)
1:52 pm
EvaNadine
come to think of it, dear daddy had been terribly sick right before my brothers wedding + ended up sporting a cane during it all. (thankfully hes all better now!)
1:52 pm
FMitch
Both our lives have moved on, I have moved house too and am doing well after Bs death and I have seen in the chat you have been through a tough time but seem to be getting on well hun.
Proud of you.
1:53 pm
Nancy Boy
Oh FMitch, I'm so sorry! I don't think I heard about that. Glad to hear you're doing well, though - so am I by now. We're tough cookies ;)
1:54 pm
rubyfoo
((tough cookies!))
1:55 pm
Nancy Boy
Ruby, I can't BELIEVE how adorable that doggy is in your picture. It's so fluffy!
1:55 pm
rubyfoo

Nef
Wow, FM. I'm sorry; I missed that. My condolences to you. (((FM)))
1:56 pm
rubyfoo
I keep trying to change the photo without success.
1:57 pm
Nef
Aren't you able to change it, or is it hat you just end up not wanting to change it ruby?
1:57 pm
rubyfoo
FM: I think we'll need to talk about that over tea....your tragedy must have happened before December when I first joined babble. You are so kind to everyone!!!
1:57 pm
FMitch
Thanks Nef, I didn't talk about it at the time and this July will be 2 years so I am still getting used to talking about it here.
1:57 pm
rubyfoo
ata put that one in for me and whenever I try to put in another from my huge jpg files, nothing happens
1:58 pm

rubyfoo

2:00 pm
Nef

2:01 pm
Riverdance
I had a strange thing happen to me today - started taking a new blood pressure med and two hours later looked like I had a major sunburn. Needless to say I had an alergic reaction. Got myself so worked up about it I had palpatations. All is OK now.
2:01 pm
EvaNadine
*races after NB and huggles him so he cant hide in a corner somewhere*
2:01 pm
rubyfoo

2:01 pm
FMitch

2:02 pm
Riverdance

2:02 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL Eva!
2:02 pm
rubyfoo

2:02 pm
Nancy Boy
Actually, every time I see your shamrock picture I burst into giggles
2:02 pm
Nef
Mom, did you call your doctor and let them know? Did you see anyone for treatment?
2:03 pm
Riverdance
They had me in the office within the hour. Thats how I know everything is OK.
2:03 pm
EvaNadine
you have a tendancy to escape when im not paying attention. i need a leash for you. :)
and why, praytell, is my shamrock so funny??
2:03 pm
rubyfoo
mom: I am in my 60's and have developed two major allergies in the last 7 years, each of them so bad that I have to keep an adrenalin shot in the fridge!
2:03 pm
FMitch
Good to have seen you again Nance, you take care and be happy!!
Im off to make a cup of tea. BBL
2:03 pm
Riverdance
WE are all hoping this red skin will turn into a nice golden tan
2:03 pm
rubyfoo
gd night FM!!
2:04 pm
Riverdance
my husband has to keep an epi pen handy in case of bee stings. Guess I better make sure where that is.
2:04 pm
Nancy Boy
well Eva, Leo and I went to a rather uncontrolled St Patrick's day party, got a little tipsy and ended up letting a complete stranger draw big green shamrocks on Leo's chest and my back. We woke up the next day and, guess what, permanent ink!
2:04 pm
Nef
Whew! I HATE allergic reactions (I'm a nurse; but have had a few scary reactions myself). You *may* be allergic to a whole class of BP meds.
2:04 pm
rubyfoo
I get hives and my throat starts to close if I even touch a pea pod or eat otmeal
2:05 pm
EvaNadine
ive got a shamrock permantly inked on my shoulder. ;)
2:05 pm
rubyfoo
and I have to inject myself because DH is too squeamish. I could die there!
2:05 pm
Riverdance
we were trying something different - now back to old for a few weeks before we try again
2:05 pm
movieman
Good day everyone!!!!!
2:05 pm
Riverdance
this was one that had a diuretic in it - they think that is what I am allergic to
2:05 pm
Atalante

2:05 pm

2:06 pm
Atalante

2:06 pm
Nancy Boy

2:06 pm
Riverdance
oh ruby - those injections are nasty - had to give my husband one a couple years ago after he got stung> actually had to think of the last time I got mad at him befoe I jabbed it in his thigh
2:06 pm
Nef
hi mm and Ata
2:07 pm
Riverdance
remember Nancy this is a family site
2:07 pm
rubyfoo
I just do it myself.....it's better than choking to death LOL
2:07 pm
EvaNadine
ata, what with wedding planning, i havent had time to head to my usual tattoo shop, and i guess im trying to be good and save money too!
2:07 pm
EvaNadine
NB, NB, NB... what am i going to do with you??
;)
2:08 pm
Nancy Boy
No, Mom, I mean, we invited some people round and made an evening of it. a family-friendly evening!
2:08 pm
movieman
Just thought I'd mention that my town has a bit of a unique claim to fame.....
2:08 pm
Nancy Boy
NOTHING. UNTOWARD. !!
2:08 pm
rubyfoo
how many movie theaters?
2:08 pm
rubyfoo
just kidding, what, movie man?
2:09 pm
movieman
Last August, we had the largest tyre fire ever seen in the UK#
2:09 pm
Riverdance
just teasing nancy boy - got to get my head in the game
2:10 pm
Riverdance
how was the smell?
2:10 pm
rubyfoo
good night everybody; I was hoping to reach 100, but it's not going to happen.....
2:10 pm
Nef
Mom, was he unable to inject himself? I'm allergic to bee stings too and back in the day the "bee sting kit" came with a little pre-filled syringe you had to give it a quarter turn so it would work. I tried to inject myself (after a sting) and couldn't. I had to pull it out and have my dtr. inject me (she was about 10 or so at the time)
2:10 pm
Nancy Boy
lol, Mom ;) I realize this is far from being the kind of place to broadcast -that- type of news ;)
2:10 pm
movieman
I can remember seeing the smoke billowing in the air as I got off the train after seeing a movie
2:11 pm
rubyfoo
nef, that sounds like good training!
2:11 pm
Nancy Boy
night, Ruby!
2:12 pm
Nef
Epi-pens are so much easier now!
2:12 pm
Nancy Boy
well I think you're all very brave...I'd have real difficulty giving myself an injection. I'm a bit of a wimp.
2:12 pm
Riverdance
This is an epi pen syringe - you take the cap off and have to slam it hard for it to get deep enough. He got stung while we were on our boat - 20 minutes out on a lake. I drove back as fast as I could. By the time we got to camp he could hardly breath. No time for him to do it.
2:13 pm
EvaNadine
im with you, NB. though i have a feeling that if my life depended on it, id manage...
2:13 pm
Nef
the Epi-pen isn't as scary as an injection; you hit the blunt tip to your thigh, and less than 5 seconds later the needle pops out and into you.
2:13 pm
Nancy Boy
I dunno, Eva, I might be too much of a diva about it, and just sort of die picturesquely with my wrist to my forehead
2:14 pm
Nancy Boy
no counting on Leo, either. He's a bigger baby than I am!
2:14 pm
EvaNadine
oh, dont tell me i would have to superhero it across the pond + jab you!
2:15 pm
Nef
LOL, NB. When you're struggling to breathe you can't exit picturesquely
2:15 pm
poodletoes
clue for na8/60 please?
2:15 pm
Nancy Boy
Oh I'm very good at that sort of thing Nef ;)
2:16 pm
movieman

2:16 pm
Nancy Boy
on that sorry note though, I'm away for the evening...got to eat at some point! see you later, everyone :)
2:16 pm

2:21 pm
poodletoes

2:21 pm
redturtlehead
Good Afternoon Babblers! Hope all is well.
2:22 pm

2:23 pm

2:23 pm
movieman

2:24 pm
Nef
I have 100 left. I should stop chatting and start finding words. (I've pretty much tried to do one or the other because I'm always putting things in the wrong boxes
2:24 pm
poodletoes

2:25 pm
redturtlehead
Thanks vici. I needed that one..
2:25 pm

2:32 pm
FMitch
Back for a few mins with my mug of tea if any clues are needed.
2:32 pm
Pinikula
I'm down to 134 to go! clue to your heart's content! LOL
2:32 pm
Nef
Well, are you able to sluff off a bit (or at least have casual dress days and go to work in your jammies)?
2:33 pm
Pinikula
definitely casual dress...and sluffing is a must!
2:33 pm
FMitch
Ah the joys of working from home,jammies can be the dress code for the whole day :)
2:34 pm
Pinikula
I enjoy that lifestyle when I'm able to telecommute, FM :)
2:34 pm
FMitch
not that I do you understand ;)
2:34 pm
Pinikula
wish it were more often than not!
2:36 pm
poodletoes

2:36 pm

one of the many things discussed on the chat is thank god we don't have web cams hooked up - t'would be too much a shock.
2:36 pm
Pinikula
gn8 = small irritating bug + hello + **a or coffee?
2:36 pm
poodletoes
I have curlers in my hair now
2:36 pm
Nef
I would really not care to telecommute and live in my jammies all day. That would ruin the fun of lounging around in jammies on my days off!
2:37 pm
Pinikula
No doubt, FM...I got a new laptop this past Sept with a built-in cam and still haven't "set it up"!
2:37 pm
poodletoes
ty pini - got them
2:38 pm
Pinikula
That's not how it works, Nef...you get to dress up on your days off! :) (oh, to have some place fancy to go - * sigh * - or even a hot date)

2:43 pm
Pinikula
oy vey...
2:43 pm
Nef
pini, it's na8/60: the worst possible complainer in the world
2:43 pm

2:43 pm
Pinikula

2:44 pm
Nef

Since my work clothing is very comfy its never been an issue for me...
2:47 pm
Pinikula
I found another ta8! :)
2:47 pm
redturtlehead
Yaaaay Pinik!
2:48 pm
Pinikula
ta8 (another one) = the most odd sounding (think southern)
2:48 pm
Nef
I'd love to telecommute too; although I love where I work even more than that
2:48 pm
Jen34
is that a ta 8 or 9?
2:48 pm
Jen34
oh, and hello!
2:49 pm
Pinikula
oh, shoot...

Pinikula

2:51 pm
Mantle
the tw9 and ta8 have quite similar ending
2:51 pm
Nef
how does one staple their butt? From the skin or the chair s***?
2:52 pm
Pinikula
oh, you shush, too, Nef!! * giggle *
2:52 pm
FMitch
LOL that was a tad extreme, puts towels down under the chair.
2:52 pm
Nef

2:52 pm
Pinikula
* pulling staples to replace with superglue *
2:53 pm
Nef

2:53 pm
Pinikula
never slow, nef...
2:53 pm
redturtlehead
hands over bandaids for the holes in Pinik's butt.
2:53 pm
FMitch
Would the Cabana Boys make you feel better? They have been saddly neglected over the winter.
2:53 pm
Pinikula
thx red... * strategically placing bandaids *
2:54 pm
CiociaJudy
*peeks in* did I hear cabana boys?
2:54 pm
Pinikula
Oh, yes, FM....let me go see them now... * skipping * la la la la
2:54 pm
CiociaJudy

2:56 pm
Nef
Did you peek in on them, red? I'm afraid to...! ;-)
2:56 pm
CiociaJudy
so glad spring is here and the cabana boys are back!
2:57 pm
Pinikula
yeah, the winter parkas don't allow the imagination to run
2:57 pm
FMitch
Well I had to fly them back Judy - what would the PB be without them and all our Babble buds!
2:57 pm
redturtlehead
LOL, I am still feeling a bit cold....wonders if the Cabana boys would make a baked alaska thingy. always wondered how to do that.
2:57 pm
CiociaJudy

2:58 pm
Pinikula
* hands the boys a torch for the flame and stands back to watch *

2:58 pm
FMitch
You are very welcome *grin*
2:58 pm
CiociaJudy
wow, Pini has all the supplies already!
2:59 pm
Nef
red, Baked Alaska has ice cream in the middle of a meringe topping
2:59 pm
Pinikula
well, matches and/or lighter always available for scented candles! :)
2:59 pm
CiociaJudy
Is there champagne to drink with the baked alaska?
3:00 pm
Pinikula
* wonders if she can hi4 out in the Cabana to avoid returning to work *
3:00 pm
FMitch
Just don't use the jacusi yet as it still need to be cleaned out but will be back in action next week. Just blame Ang for the custard.
3:00 pm
FMitch
... .... waits to see if anyone has been on line long enough to remember that .
3:00 pm
Pinikula
* giggle * making note to self re ang and custard
3:00 pm
CiociaJudy
*sends out cabana boy to get champagne*
3:01 pm
Pinikula

3:01 pm
Riverdance
I wonder if they could use the Sh7's
3:01 pm
Pinikula

3:01 pm
CiociaJudy
OMG--jacuzzi + ang + custard . . . yikes!
3:01 pm

3:06 pm
CiociaJudy
geez. I open a bottle of champagne and everybody leaves!
3:07 pm
Nef
FM, we are the Babble elders on right now; does that mean we need to set an example for others?
3:08 pm
Nef
I'm still here Judy, but I don't drink. Just the thought of a drink is making me sleepy!
3:08 pm
CiociaJudy
are you sure you and FM are the elders, Nef?
3:11 pm
FMitch
Back - good lord I hope not, have been around a long time but that is all :)
3:11 pm
Nef
Judy, I meant that FM and I have been Babbling longer than the others on right now. Both of us started in August of '05, I see you joined in '06
3:12 pm
CiociaJudy
aha - nice not to be an elder for a change! LOL
3:13 pm
Nef
And yes, I'm also older than you too from your profile!

3:17 pm
FMitch
It is such fun meeting up with babblers in *real life*
3:17 pm
CiociaJudy
yes it is. I met Stidmama in Seattle in 2007.
3:18 pm
Nef
I met up with a bunch of nurses from a private nursing BB back in 2003. We had the best time ever!
3:19 pm
FMitch
and seeing the pics from a lthe meets that have happened so far.
Wonder if Dr_G had any idea how his *'game' would influence lives?
3:20 pm

Hi Une. Amazing how one game brought all of us together.
3:21 pm
Uneaixoise
i know!!
3:21 pm
CiociaJudy
And from all parts of the world!
3:22 pm
Uneaixoise
and I think every meet-up has been a huge success!
3:22 pm
Nef
it seems to me that some of my *little internet friends* (as someone's mother once called us) can be as close as RL friends if we click right
3:22 pm
Uneaixoise
TOTALLY!
3:22 pm
CiociaJudy
Une, FM and Nef, are you on FB?
3:23 pm
Uneaixoise
hey, nef :-)
3:23 pm
CiociaJudy
I'm probably friends with you Une and don't realize what your real name is. LOL
3:23 pm
FMitch
well we are all bound bound aby a common thread and have talked on line for a time - so why shoudn't it work it
3:23 pm
Nancy Boy
Judy, I always wonder about that...whether we all walk past each other in real life ;(
3:23 pm
FMitch
Judy - no I don't do FB
3:23 pm
Nef
yes, Judy. I don't chat much there however. (I keep tabs on relatives and friends mostly)

Great chatting but time for me to be off.
Enjoyed the chat so mcuh!
3:31 pm
CiociaJudy
bye FM.
3:31 pm
Uneaixoise
nef, I know what you mean -- I'm never sure who's who re Babblers on Facebook :-)
3:31 pm
KatieMcG
Nef - I know what you mean, I have babble friends, fairyland friends and 'normal' friends and find it so hard to work out who belongs in which group. I usually check with ata's friends to see if they are a babble friend
3:31 pm
Uneaixoise
bye fmitch!
3:31 pm
CiociaJudy
Nancy, I thought all the young uns were on FB. LOL

Oh I'm in the Grid :-)
3:32 pm
Nancy Boy
Oh I can't stand it, Judy! I'm too social in real life...I meet loads of people, they all add me and I feel like I'm going under ;)
3:33 pm
Nef
BTW, my babble is the middle syllable of my *formal* name. It was my college nickname (a million years ago I think!)
3:34 pm
CiociaJudy
poor Nancy; too popular!! LOL
3:34 pm
KatieMcG
I have been quite brutal at blocking updates on some applications because I have 121 friends so miss too much if I get their farmville updates
3:34 pm
Nef
(And I have never gone by my formal name except when I absolutely have too)
3:34 pm
Nancy Boy
it's a tough job ;) LOL. Well most of them I'd never see again!
3:35 pm
CiociaJudy
I block the apps I don't use too Katie
3:35 pm
CiociaJudy
It's always interesting how we get our Babble Names!
3:36 pm
KatieMcG
I took mine from Mari's cat!
3:36 pm
Nef
Katie, I've reached the point that I block everything except what people actually say. I do block some people, but not relatives; although i sometimes have to remind my neices and nephews that they are posting TMI
3:37 pm
KatieMcG
I think I should be more brutal. I go on in the morning and then by the evening I have 300 updates, I just can't keep up
3:38 pm
Nef
yep, you need to be more brutal, Katie.
3:38 pm
CiociaJudy
well fellow Babblers I'm off for my commute home. cu later. Happy Babbling!
3:40 pm

3:40 pm
sammysmom
clue please for de6/27?
3:40 pm
sammysmom
and how did i do that?
3:41 pm
Nef
good question, sammy
3:41 pm
Nancy Boy
Not a clue, Sammysmom ;) that's an awesome picture in your icon, though - deer in your back garden!
3:41 pm
sammysmom
yes nancy boy- they are a real puia- they eat my garden
3:42 pm
Nef
de6/27 is the study of how your house should look. Interior de 6/27
3:42 pm
sammysmom
i had a herd of seven deer in my front yard last night and i live in the ckleveland burbs- ver much city
3:42 pm
sammysmom
thanks nef
3:43 pm
Nancy Boy
ohhh they can't be, Sammysmom! I'd love it. The closest to wildlife I get here is...yesterday, a sparrow flew in the window and did a circuit of the kitchen. That's about it
3:44 pm
highwiregirl
i'm stuck on that K

3:45 pm
Nef
I've only had deer inside our chain-linked back yard once, but we've had raccoons, Canadian geese, bunnies and all sorts of other smaller critters all the time
3:45 pm
sammysmom
deer do not belong in the city nancy boy- .i can handle the squirrels, the hipmunks, love the birds, and have a few possums, racoons and an ocasional skunk, but the deer eat so much of what i plant. saw a fox last fall and even a wolf- we humans have destroyed their habitats and now we must pay
3:47 pm
CadFan
Where in the Cleveland burbs Sammy?
3:47 pm
sammysmom
come to think of it . i was raised in maine and i do love venison. hm...............
3:47 pm

3:48 pm
Nef
I live in a inner ring suburb in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul); but there's a lake and a nature preserve less than 2 blocks away
3:49 pm
sammysmom
daddy taught me how to dress a deer when i ws a teen.hmmmmmmm wonder if we still have a chin fall in the garage.hmmmmmm
3:49 pm
sammysmom
chain fall
3:50 pm
KatieMcG
the closest I come is when the sparrow comes in to the house in the cats mouth NB!
3:51 pm
Nef
We've got 6 different species of woodpeckers that come to our backyard. I love the wildlife here; but can unerstand that they may not belong here too
3:51 pm
CadFan
My cousin lives in Columbia Station
3:51 pm
sammysmom
the city of ch has taken almost all of the little wooded areas left and built tacky overpriced houses that noone can afford (most are empty), but they did not make any provisions for the wildlife that they displaced
3:53 pm
sammysmom
columbis station is a beautiful community- at least it was when i was last there. lots of open spaces .. here we are on quarter acre lots and have no room for large animals.
3:54 pm
sammysmom
do feed the birds ,..have several kind of woodpeckers, sparrows, cardinals, bluejays, and chickadees, and several kinds i don t know the names of.. also a hawk and an eagle... new to the area in the last few years
3:58 pm
CadFan
They have a pretty large lot - and it is quite open around there - I haven't been to their place since our grandfather died in 2005 though so who knows what's built up since then
3:58 pm
Nef
thanks. sammysmom! ;-)
4:00 pm
sammysmom
i guwss that is like thinking out loud huh??
4:01 pm
Nef
nope. It's what I'm so good at: putting things in the wrong boxes here :-)
4:02 pm
Vicuna
Sammy's Mom, you're in Cleveland Hts? I grew up there. My parents still live there.
4:02 pm

Hello, all.
4:03 pm

hello vicuna how are you?
4:03 pm
Vicuna
Dandy, thanks, redturtle. And you?
4:04 pm
sammysmom
hi vicuna-- yup i live right in back of the country club----- oakwood
4:04 pm
Nef
hi vicuna, haven't seen you for a while!
4:04 pm
sammysmom
where in new england are you from vicuna- i was born and raised in maine
4:05 pm
Vicuna
Oh, near Severance? I grew up near Fairmount and Lee.
4:05 pm
Vicuna
Now I'm outside Boston.
4:06 pm
Vicuna
Hello, Nef. I guess we don't do the same times much.
4:06 pm
sammysmom
yup near severance-- i know the fairmount-lee area well- used to work at fairmount and cedar- (20 years) and lee and cedar also
4:07 pm
sammysmom
did you ever go to the alcazar?
4:07 pm
Vicuna
Plenty of trophy houses along Fairmount... but since they were all built 80 - 100-some years ago they are fun instead of annoying!
4:07 pm
Vicuna
I've only been in the Alcazar once. Pretty funky!
4:09 pm
sammysmom
i used to work at merit drug at cedar and grandview- shopped at russos- (gone now)
4:09 pm
Vicuna
Oh, I didn't know Russo's was gone. We used to shop there a lot.
4:10 pm
sammysmom
it is a giant e3agle now i think
4:10 pm
sammysmom
giant eagle
4:11 pm
Vicuna
Did your kids go to Heights?
4:12 pm
sammysmom
yes and 2 of my grandchildrern too- ther oldest one graduated from notre dame 6 years ago
4:13 pm
Vicuna
What years did they graduate? We might have overlapped!
4:15 pm
sammysmom
forget the year- but the keyniote speaker spent 45 minute4s talking about the shoodting at cleveland state in stead of praising and encouraging the graduates of notre dame--- i was FURIOUS!!!
4:15 pm
Vicuna
That's not right. Graduation should be for graduate!
4:15 pm
Vicuna
*graduates*
4:16 pm
Vicuna
Oh well, I'm probably too late to overlap, I guess. Fun connection, though.
4:17 pm
sammysmom
i felt badly about the csu incident, but spoiloing the graduatuion of another school was a disservice to THOSE students and was of no value- did not bring the victims back and left a sad mark on the graduating class
4:17 pm
kenzie123
hey ys im back
4:18 pm
Vicuna
Exactly.
Hello, kenzie.
4:19 pm
kenzie123
im back from school 4th grade is soooo boring
4:20 pm
Vicuna
That's too bad.
4:20 pm
Nancy Boy
Hi everyone :) back too - over half done so I can start listing now!
4:20 pm
Vicuna
Hello, Nancy Boy.
4:20 pm
sammysmom
my grand daughter is 34 now - it took her 6 years to get thru because she had to work and pay her own way. did you know that nd is co ed now?
4:21 pm
Nancy Boy
Hi, Vic :)
4:22 pm
Vicuna
Nope, didn't know that.
4:22 pm
Vicuna
WHat's up, NB?
4:22 pm
Nancy Boy
ohhh not a lot Vic, just living life really. How about with you?
4:23 pm
Vicuna
I'm 39, so I was too early.
4:23 pm
Vicuna
Well, that's what life is for!
4:24 pm
Nancy Boy
not gonna use it for anything else ;)
4:24 pm
Vicuna
And it would be a shame to waste it.
4:25 pm
Vicuna
I want to go take a shower, but I probably shouldn't while the workmen are installing replacement carpet. Wonder how much longer they'll be?
4:25 pm
Nancy Boy
since moving, I don't have the time to waste ;) no time to be miserable, either, so I'll have to settle for happiness
4:26 pm
featherbee
debating what to do here. how is this one shaping up?
4:26 pm
Vicuna
They'll never write a novel about you, then, NB. But it's a price I, for one, am willing to pay for happiness.
4:27 pm
wildcat17
not bad bee .. pretty friendly
4:27 pm
redturtlehead
Feather it isnt great, but, I am at 40 left and just going for list.
4:27 pm
Vicuna
Hello, featherbee. I don't think it's too bad, but I did just give in and open the list with 20 left.
4:27 pm
featherbee
ok, sounds good! will go shower, and then come back with the laptop in bed. can't wait!
4:27 pm
Vicuna
(Lucky featherbee gets to go shower. *mutter mutter*)
4:28 pm
Nancy Boy
oh yep, story of my life wouldn't be that interesting, but interesting people are rarely happy. best part of my day is just settling down with Leo!
4:30 pm
redturtlehead
Good to be Happy, me thinks.
4:30 pm
Vicuna
I disagree, NB. I think you've been reading too much Tolstay. I think happy people are usually a lot more interesting than miserables. Or at least, they have the potential to be. I guess if they're boring to begin with then there's not much you can do with them happy or sad!
4:31 pm
redturtlehead
I do think a lot of brilliant people lead fairly un-astounding lives....
4:32 pm
redturtlehead
Case in point: IN high school, I had to stay with a family for some orchestral concerts. The family I stayed with was a married couple the guy was a very famous avant garde composer.
4:32 pm
redturtlehead
His favorite thing to do each night was to eat a bowl of cornflakes and watch "Gunsmoke" reruns....
4:33 pm
Vicuna
Maybe we're talking about 2 different things here: interesting *people* vs people to whom interesting *events* occur
4:33 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL Red! Good point, well made
4:33 pm
redturtlehead
there is a disctinction....I was thinking of the interesting people...
4:34 pm
Vicuna
Me too, but I think when I first made my quip about the novel, it implied interesting events.
4:34 pm
redturtlehead
interesting events are rarely that joyful.
4:35 pm
Vicuna
Well, speaking as a writer, there has to be the conflict and the bad stuff to be overcome, but I'm a firm believer in happy endings, both in books and in real life! =D
4:35 pm
Nancy Boy
well, I don't know. I think the secret to being happy is to not take things too seriously! I don't believe whoever said you can have too much of a good thing...too much of a good thing is simply wonderful.
4:35 pm
redturtlehead
Indeed there does need to be some sort of conflict....WHich is why I sometimes like biographies, as the conflict is what occurred...
4:36 pm
Vicuna
That'll get you a long way, NB. Take Vitamin C for example... you can't have too much. ;)
4:36 pm
redturtlehead
wonders if kje, is her and is entereing SIadh.
4:37 pm
redturtlehead
you can however, have too much coffee at one time....and coffee is a great thing.
4:37 pm
Nef
ah, Vicuna; some people can get kidney stones from too much Vitamin C!
4:38 pm
redturtlehead
I had no idea nef, I always thought you just peed it out, but I suppose....on the way out....
4:38 pm
redturtlehead
sorry to mention pee in the chog.
4:39 pm
Nancy Boy
thank you ladies, for ruining the only philosophical moment I have ever had ;)
4:40 pm
redturtlehead
Oh Nancy, I apologize. WIll be less opinionated int he future and us ethe word excrete.
4:40 pm
Vicuna
I wondered if someone with actual knowledge would come along and contradict me! =)
4:40 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL Red! much appreciated
4:40 pm
Nef
LOL, NB. That wasn't my intention. I just know that fact from a relatives' recent experience
4:41 pm
Vicuna
Nonsense, NB. philosophical moments are a dime a dozen.
4:41 pm
Vicuna
(Or maybe 10p a dozen for you!)
4:42 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL Vic, not for me. For the price of philosophical thoughts is directly proportional to the price of alcohol
4:42 pm
redturtlehead
Oh no Nancy Boy. I went out wiht the girls form work last night...wow the stories they tell...
4:42 pm
redturtlehead
I'm not a drinker...
4:43 pm
Vicuna
Save up the money you would spend on alcohol and you can buy a boatload of lucid thought.
4:43 pm
Nef
NB, I kind of feel that a person is as happy as he/she makes up their mind to be. I've known people who have had tremendous amounts of tragedy in their lives, but they are so happy; whereas others who have had wonderful lives are so glum that they are hard to be around
4:43 pm
Vicuna
Just look at me and redturtle: paragons of teatotalling brilliance.
4:44 pm
redturtlehead
Vicuna, I am not sure I fit that description!
4:45 pm
hurshy
name that proper noun! da bears coach
4:45 pm
Nef
Add me to the tetotaller list! I had to learn that fact though. I get terribly sick the day after a drink that I just don't indulge anymore.
4:46 pm
Nancy Boy
Well, I'm a youth...for at least a little longer. It's what I'm supposed to do. It's Leo who should feel ashamed (he's 24 to my 19, so an old man in our flat)!
4:47 pm
Vicuna
Hello, hursh.
4:47 pm
Nef
NB, you are both younger than my kids! I'd never wish to be that young again; but it's great that you're enjoying it. :-)
4:47 pm
featherbee
ahhhhh, back, and ready to roll!
4:48 pm
Vicuna
Hello again, featherb.
4:49 pm
Nancy Boy
well I think if he was my own age, I'd be scared. I'd be wondering who on earth was going to look after us! apart from babblers ;)
4:49 pm
Vicuna
*quavery voice* Ahh, sonny, when I was your age...
4:50 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL Vic
4:50 pm
Vicuna
... they hadn't invented happiness yet. We had to use Granpa's old boredom, trimmed with the daisies we picked by the side of the road...
4:50 pm
Nef
LOL, Vicuna! (I did sound like that, didn't I?)
4:51 pm
featherbee
hee hee
4:51 pm
Vicuna
Not at all, Nef! I was just going off on my own little tangent of absurdity.
4:51 pm
Vicuna
Hello, KatieMcG!
4:52 pm
featherbee

4:52 pm
KatieMcG
hello vic & everyone else
4:52 pm
Vicuna
Mini-Yay for feather!
4:52 pm
Nef
It's okay, I love to laugh about how I sound some days!
4:52 pm
featherbee
i'm loving this one so far
4:52 pm
KatieMcG
Think it should be a big yay as I am half way and haven't found any 7, 8 or 9 words
4:53 pm
Vicuna
You people know you are not making it easy for me to actually find words. *grump grump*
4:53 pm
featherbee
the 8 i found was the most pestery
4:53 pm
Vicuna
I see that you're "old as dirt," Nef. At least that has a sort of elemental dignity.
4:54 pm
featherbee
found another. most tart. ta8.
4:54 pm
featherbee
most pestery was na8.
4:54 pm
Vicuna
just tweak it and you'll have most like the sound of a banjo.
4:54 pm
featherbee
awesome, ty!
4:55 pm
Nef
:-D Actually, my sister used to tease my father about being older than rocks --which is *really* old! (He didn't live *that* long though
4:56 pm
KatieMcG
I'm off to bed nice and early. See you all tomorrow x
4:56 pm
featherbee
night katie
4:56 pm
Nef
niters, Katie
4:56 pm
Vicuna
My daughter is now pointing out to me that I have failed to spend sufficient quality time with her since I started chatting...
4:56 pm
Vicuna
Goodnight, Katie.
4:57 pm
Vicuna
... so I guess I'd better go be the dutiful mother.
Farewell, all!
4:57 pm

Couldn't resist in the end. Everyone's so nice.
5:38 pm
guernseygirl
I haven't been able to get my own photos to upload, so i got one off the web, but i know that bit of the island very well.
5:39 pm
redturtlehead
its really nice. My Mom is interested in Guernsey after reading the potatoe peel society story.
5:40 pm
guernseygirl
I liked that book a lot, but it's not very like the island.
5:41 pm
redturtlehead
Thats sort of what I thought, btu the book was nice. And I have a feeling for her, the photographer, she would enjoy it anyway...
5:41 pm
guernseygirl
It was sad that the author never saw it published.
5:42 pm
redturtlehead
Yes, I remember reading that, and it had escaped my mind until you reminded me....
5:43 pm
guernseygirl
Its been a huge success. they dramatised it on the radio over here. i hope it helps the tourist industry in Guernsey
5:45 pm
redturtlehead
Well, the story really caught my mom's interest. Partly because her Dad was a Reconnaisainance (how do you spell that!) flyer in WWII and knew all those areas so well.
5:45 pm
redturtlehead
She has mentioned an interest in going, but we will see...
5:46 pm
guernseygirl
The best time to go is May/early June when the spring flowers are out. it's really beautiful on the cliff paths then
5:47 pm
redturtlehead
My big concern always is would it be semi warm then? I always think of that area as rather chilly....
5:49 pm
redturtlehead
well, I suppose if flowers are out....
5:49 pm
guernseygirl
Its very variable, that's the main thing but can be just comfortably warm at that time of year. But the British weather is so unpredictable.
5:51 pm
redturtlehead
It really sounds wonderful, for us Americans, sort of a classic British cliff-y landscape...
5:53 pm
guernseygirl
Yes, but also a low-lying rocky coastline to the west and north, and fantastic views of the other islands. Very narrow leafy lanes inland and the town is very attractive on a steep hill overlooking the harbour.
5:54 pm
redturtlehead
oooooooh. I am trying to tak emy Mom somewhere for Photography once ayear or so.... this may be the next. It sounds good!
5:55 pm
guernseygirl
Let me know if i can help with any more information. i have two brothers over there and i'm going over to see them next month.
5:56 pm
redturtlehead
It would not be this June, for certain, we just did our big trip in February (Actually had her here, as its very different form where they live) but yes...I will!
5:57 pm
guernseygirl
Where does your mom live?
5:57 pm
redturtlehead
in Pennsylvania, I live in Florida.
5:58 pm

my personal opinion (and the guys can disagree but I'm right ; ) is that it allows them the out... no rejection if they aren't straight up... and if they change their mind it allows them to blame it on you like you misinterpretted the initial overture...

Nef
Our little dog barks like crazy sometimes and when that happens I always go check. He thinks he's such a great big dog, but he's dumb as a brick and only weighs 11 lbs. It worries me at night when he starts up like that
10:49 pm
Pinikula
Koda only barks when he goes into the backyard and the neighbor dogs are out...suffice it to say, he doesn't go to the backyard much without me (darn neighbors)
10:50 pm

:-) they are nice loyal dogs, aren't they? I needed something that didn't sh4/6 (allergies), so that's a breed I couldn't have

It's been almost two years (May 10th) that Scrabbler and I lost a pet. I still carry his picture on my cellphone. I have just gotten a rescued dog...she's a nice dog.
10:54 pm
Pinikula
what kind, peach?
10:54 pm
Nef
what kind is it ga?
10:55 pm
Pinikula
Koda doesn't sh4 much, but there is some...he has a short, smooth coat...silky when washed! :)
10:55 pm
Pinikula
any hope of finding another 96 words?

Remember Eddie (Frazier's dads dog) she kind of resembles him but I don't think she's a Jack Russell. She has (and loses) more hair than I have on my head.
10:56 pm
Pinikula
oh my, peach...are you enjoying her tho?
10:57 pm
Nef
we keep our dog trimmed to less that an inch, he doesn't sh4/6 and he loves being brushed (much different than our first shizt-poo) We got the first one at the pound; and rescued this one from being put down
10:58 pm
Nef
You can do it Pini! Keep on going!
10:58 pm
Pinikula
Koda's my first, but if he were to ever have a sibling, I think it will be something a little smaller...
10:58 pm
Pinikula
28 lbs get heavy when I have to lift him into the truck!
10:58 pm
Pinikula

Well, yes, it's that I'm in a wheel chair and it is kind of difficult to see that she gets enough exercise. But yes, I will keep her...I do care for her....I try not to compare her with any of the other dogs that I've had. She is a runner though so I have to be careful whenever I open the doors.
10:59 pm
Nef
LOL, Pini! That sounds ----dirty!
10:59 pm
Pinikula
(he can jump down from that height, but can't jup UP to it)
11:00 pm
Pinikula
just tie the leash to your chair, peach...and go sledding!!!
11:01 pm
Nef
there you go, ga! Have him pull you around! Fastest transportation around! :-D
11:01 pm
gapeach
Hey, now that's an idea, Pini.
11:02 pm
Pinikula
just don't tie it to one side! make sure you have a splitter so the leash leads from the center...otherwise you'll forever be going in circles!!! :)
11:03 pm
gapeach
Right Nef. I can see it now on the evening news.....Lady in wheelchair is racing down I-20 right now she is neck and neck with a semi. Hey, lady, slow down.

11:04 pm

Yes, Pini, I pretty much go in circles anyway....just laughing all the way. (to keep from crying) HaHa
11:04 pm
gapeach
Thanks for that Pini.
11:05 pm
Nef
LOL!! There is someone in our church that does have a dog that pulls her around in a wheel chair at community events. I'm not sure, but I *think* it's a golden retriever
11:05 pm
Pinikula

11:07 pm
Pinikula
Koda is snoring...
11:07 pm
Nef
I know I saw her in church with the dog once. He was a very well-behaved dog even for a church service
11:07 pm
Pinikula
...I have to pat or shake him to make him stop since he doesn't understand, "Honey, roll over, you're snoring!"
11:07 pm
gapeach
I see that I'm (once again) repeating myself.

11:09 pm

At least Koda understands the "touch" and quits!! More than I can say for most others who snore...
