2:52 am

sprite

my daughter is pretty ok, still sneezy and all, but feeling rather chipper. I am enjoying the fact I can breathe more freely today!

2:52 am

rubyfoo

We need rain and they predicted it for the weekend. But it is beautiful and, to the extent that my strength will allow, I've worked in the garden a little every day and it looks gorgeous

2:53 am

sprite

so rewarding, isn't it?

2:53 am

rubyfoo

I cheated and put annuals in the holes in the perennial beds. It does the job and is much easier

2:53 am

rubyfoo

and the tomatoes and radishes are in!

2:54 am

sprite

no cheating, silly. It is lovely and that is what counts.

2:54 am

sprite

cool, I spot various babblets!

2:54 am

rubyfoo

I bought tiny salmon-colored geraniums to put in a border with a similarly-colored impatiens and they look lovely

2:55 am

oh that is tasteful. I like things like that.

2:55 am

rubyfoo

better get dressed now; see you in a little while

2:55 am

bye rubyfoo

3:24 am

caitlyn

I am lucky to ha4/8 found two really nice fitters who are taking the stress away.How are you today?

3:24 am

lynxxx

Hello. Good luck Caitlyn, hope it moves along swiftly - but how nice it will be to have a brand spanking new kitchen

3:25 am

sprite

I can breathe more easily today, and without breaking into coughing all the time too, so I am much better, thanks :)

3:25 am

sprite

hi lyn *hugs*

3:25 am

caitlyn

Hi lyn yes it will be great, I hated my old one

3:26 am

lynxxx

That's good news Sprite - but don't overdo it will you

3:26 am

caitlyn

If I disappear it will be because they are doing the wiring and may cut the power off lol

3:26 am

sprite

no lyn, I will stay put, promise. Even my kids yell at me when I try to do something, grin. I have promised: first all energy into getting all better and then I will start doing chores again.

3:27 am

sprite

lol, caitlyn may go *poof*...

3:27 am

caitlyn

sprite the chores will always be there your health is more important

3:28 am

sprite

am usually very stubborn and want to keep busy. But I wil admit I don't have the energy atm. Will take care of myself for a change!

3:31 am

caitlyn

Just been reading on FB about poor Ata

3:31 am

sprite

what's with Ata??? Please tell me, I don't do FB.

3:31 am

lynxxx

What has happened to Ata? (don't do FB)

3:32 am

caitlyn

She is away on holiday in the Scilly Isles and has twisted her leg she is now in plaster

3:33 am

sprite

oh darn! And she needed that holiday so much. What a disappointment for her!

3:33 am

lynxxx

She is going to be very crabby about that!

3:33 am

caitlyn

I know but she sounds quite bright

3:33 am

sprite

Ata can make the best of bad situations. Still, it sucks.

3:35 am

lynxxx

OK 40 left, no 8s and only 3 7s! BBS going to get my cornish pasties ready (I think they are cornish - meat and veg)

3:36 am

caitlyn

Lovely lyn I really like them, see you later

3:36 am

sprite

sounds good, and good going on the grid. I think the biggies are sneaky, I have 4 x 7 and still no 8, with 28 left.

3:38 am

Haz1558

Good morning, all. I can hint at the 8s if you want, sprite, but they're normal words.

3:38 am

caitlyn

Morning Haz

3:38 am

sprite

morning Haz, thanks, but I love to blunder along. Great to know they are normal words though.

3:39 am

Haz1558

And good evening, lyn.

3:39 am

Haz1558

No problem, sprite.

3:43 am

sprite

how's Spangle todday? Upgoing line continuing?

3:43 am

Haz1558

Yes, I'm beginning to see improvement, so that's good.

3:44 am

sprite

am glad

3:45 am

sprite

ah great, I found one, Haz. The V8.

3:46 am

Haz1558

Yes, keep an eye out for those Italians...

3:47 am

sprite

indeed, a bloody system

3:48 am

sprite

ah and the other one. Knowing they are normal words really helps. Thanks.

3:49 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. Use both 8s in a sentence and you'd have fast feud rather than fast food.

3:50 am

sprite

:-D

3:52 am

caitlyn

I went *poof* but back again now

3:52 am

sprite

wb caitlyn

3:53 am

Haz1558

Hello, caitlyn. I hadn't heard about Ata's accident. And congratulations on the new kitchen, although the dust from building always seems to get throughout the rest of the house, doesn't it?

I only have a very small house so my sitting? /dining room is full of old kitchen things, freezer, fridge new work units ,last night I managed to find the microwave to do us a jacket potatoe for supper, never mind it will be worth it.

3:56 am

forwardbyfaith

i have the v8 - what does the other 8 start with?

3:56 am

Haz1558

It will.

3:57 am

caitlyn

My spelling and grammer today are rubbish!!

3:57 am

Haz1558

ex8 is the other.

3:58 am

Haz1558

caitlyn, you didn't happen to watch the series about John Lewis? They featured a lady who was spending Â£40,000 on her new kitchen. My jaw nearly hit the ground.

3:58 am

sprite

having your kitchen being build and being able to type is not rubbish at all

3:58 am

forwardbyfaith

ty haz...looking

3:58 am

City 17 dweller

Thank you for the 'fast feud' clue for the 8s, Haz, very enjoyable to work with :)

3:58 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, City, glad it worked for you.

3:59 am

forwardbyfaith

ty - found it!

3:59 am

Haz1558

Well done, forward!

3:59 am

caitlyn

No I didnt see that Haz I do not know how they can justify that sort of spending though.Thanks sprite

4:00 am

Haz1558

It was pretty spectacular when it was finished, but like you, I couldn't spend that amount of money on one room.

4:00 am

sprite

I'd rather have a cook :)

4:00 am

caitlyn

LOL sprite

4:01 am

Haz1558

Yes,and if FM would lend you her cleaner, you'd be well set up.

4:02 am

sprite

aow wouldn't that be loverly...

4:03 am

sprite

fireflies. Very enjoyable grid! Bye all, have fun. Caitlyn, best of luck with the kitchen.

4:03 am

Haz1558

Congratulations, sprite. Have a good day.

4:04 am

caitlyn

Congrats sprite!! Bye for now, and dont forget to rest

4:13 am

rubyfoo

I just read the chog. Poor Ata. congrats sprite, that was quick!

4:13 am

rubyfoo

hi cailyn and haz!!

4:13 am

Haz1558

Hello, ruby.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

what beautiful weather. Do you gals have rain yet? We need it and when you get it we usually get it 2 or 3 days later

4:14 am

Haz1558

We had very heavy rain yesterday and the day before. Not constant, but heavy bursts.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I've got the garden mostly in; handyman/gardener is here now and transplanted several small decorative Japanese quince, babies of the "mother" plant

4:15 am

caitlyn

Hi ruby, we are having heavy rain at the moment but we did need it.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

and he made berms around the tomatoes.

4:16 am

o-o

Should heavy rains be put on di**s?

4:16 am

rubyfoo

radishes and scabiosa I put in yesterday and some nasturtium seeds. Still to go, if I have the strength, are hollyhocks. My husband found seeds for doubles

4:17 am

Haz1558

It depends on their body mass index, BabbleRabble.

4:17 am

caitlyn

I havent touched the garden yet this year must do so soon though

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I used to have magnificent hollyhocks but they disappeared along with many of the other "perennials" like digitalis and lupins

4:17 am

rubyfoo

all the peonies are stakes and the roses fed.

4:17 am

caitlyn

Hi BR

4:17 am

rubyfoo

staked*

4:18 am

o-o

hello

4:18 am

rubyfoo

hi BR

4:19 am

o-o

The peonies are climbers?

4:23 am

o-o

Hello, ruby. What are the stakes for?

4:23 am

caitlyn

I think she has gone out the garden

4:23 am

Haz1558

I'm guessing to help hold up the heavy heads when they bloom.

4:24 am

Sally-catlover

I always think stakes are a good idea for heavy bloomers. And hi everyone.

4:24 am

Haz1558

Hello, Sally.

4:25 am

caitlyn

Hi Sally LOL

4:25 am

Haz1558

Heavy bloomers raises up all sorts of pictures....

4:25 am

o-o

never connected stakes with underwear

4:26 am

Sally-catlover

Makes it difficult to walk, BR

4:26 am

caitlyn

I bet Queen Victoria used them all the time

4:27 am

Haz1558

Blow the di4/5 - weight down your bloomers and walk the blubber off.

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz

4:27 am

Haz1558

I need to get to the patent office....

4:27 am

caitlyn

LOL

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

I'm sure they already exist, Haz. You're too late, but they would look fetching with the tin foil hat.

4:29 am

caitlyn

I wanted to complain, I never recieved my order of the tin foil hat, I demand my money back!

4:29 am

Haz1558

Yes, you'll be able to spot me in the home for the bewildered. I'll be the one with the tin foil hat lumbering about in weighted drawers telling everyone that they too can have a lighter life.

4:30 am

caitlyn

I have a mental image of that situation Haz and you will still be blaming FM

4:31 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. No doubt about it.

4:32 am

o-o

I wonder if bloomers would have helped Icarus?

4:34 am

Haz1558

I could be wrong, but I don't think men wear bloomers. He could have set himself up for mockery.

4:35 am

o-o

A bit of helium in the bloomers .... who knows?

4:35 am

caitlyn

LOL

4:35 am

Haz1558

As long as he didn't inhale any.

4:36 am

Haz1558

A squeaky-voiced man in bloomers proclaiming 'To infinity' wouldn't fill spectators with hope of success.

4:37 am

o-o

I suppose it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Icarus was a transvestite?

4:37 am

Haz1558

They all wore dresses at that time, didn't they?

4:38 am

Haz1558

So, it would be hard to tell, unless he was particularly heavy-handed with the make-up.

4:39 am

Haz1558

Did ruby know what she was starting when she wrote about staking her peonies?

4:40 am

Sally-catlover

She seems to have vanished for the moment.

4:40 am

o-o

transvestite Look up transvestite at Dictionary.com
"person with a strong desire to dress in clothing of the opposite sex," 1922, from Ger. Transvestit (1910), coined from L. trans- "across" + vestire "to dress, to clothe" (see wear). Cf. also travesty, which is the same word, older, and passed through French and Italian. Shortened form trannie first recorded 1983 (in 1960s this was used as a slang shortening of transistor radio). Transvestism is first attested 1928.

4:40 am

Haz1558

She's probably phoning International Rescue.

4:41 am

Haz1558

1928? We can discount Icarus.

4:41 am

Sally-catlover

The abbreviation trannie having two meanings could be confusing. I mean, I used to hold my trannie to my ear under the bedclothes.

4:41 am

o-o

I was rather surprised the world is relatively new.

4:42 am

Jayk

Morning all! What a wonderful discussion to wake up to!

4:42 am

o-o

word, that is

4:42 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Jayk.

4:42 am

Haz1558

I'm surprised as well, BR.

4:42 am

Jayk

Bit of an odd grid

4:42 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning Jayk. Haz wants to buy some weighted bloomers. Can you help?

4:43 am

Haz1558

I still talk about 'the wireless'.

4:43 am

o-o

The thirst for knowledge never stops at Babble

4:43 am

Jayk

widely available here in Atlanta

4:43 am

Haz1558

Yes, and if we don't know it, we make it up.

4:43 am

Jayk

My husband still says "icebox"

4:44 am

Jayk

actually Haz, you CAN keep referring to the wireless

4:45 am

Haz1558

Then I will.

4:45 am

Haz1558

Meantime, I must take a break. Back shortly....

4:45 am

o-o

I have never seen ice box. Are there more divisions that simply heavyweights?

4:46 am

Sally-catlover

Bye for now Haz

4:46 am

Jayk

BR: ???

4:46 am

o-o

be well, Haz

4:46 am

o-o

yes?

4:47 am

Jayk

didn't understand your last utterance

4:48 am

o-o

icebox to ice sparring

4:48 am

Jayk

ice sparring? Maybe I got up too early

4:49 am

o-o

ice facing off in a fisticuffs match

4:49 am

Jayk

Aha!

4:50 am

Jayk

My God! There are 18 Vs!!

4:50 am

o-o

I can confirm all 18 do start with v

4:51 am

Jayk

don't gloat!

4:52 am

o-o

This is another grid in which the words are much easier to find after you have found them.

4:53 am

Jayk

I'll bear that in mind

5:25 am

Good morning ... enough t tiles for you?

6:12 am

Patxxx

I am about to plant carrot seeds in tubs. Showery yesterday and today but heavy rain forecast next two days. Should I wait? Please

6:14 am

Sally-catlover

Can you protect them a little if necessary Patxxx?

6:15 am

Patxxx

Hi Sally-catlover - How best to cover pots? Next to fields and it can be quite windy.

6:16 am

Sally-catlover

I was thinking if you had a sheet of glass you could put over or something?

6:16 am

Sally-catlover

Otherwise if you actually believe the forecasts, can you put the pots in some more sheltered place for a few days until they are settled?

6:17 am

Patxxx

Can't use glass got nosy dogs and cats but I'll root through stuff and see what I can come up with. Thanks Sally-c

6:19 am

Sally-catlover

Well, a brick on top might help (of the glass, not the dog or cat!). But I would only put it on if it really starts to rain heavily.

6:22 am

Patxxx

Sally-c Unable to move pots. I rarely believe our forecasts but if I am depending on it then it will be the only time they've been right in a fair while. I can't handle heavy at all. Thinking of tying plastic round tubs and punching holes in for air. Thanks for giving me ideas..

6:25 am

Sally-catlover

If it's only for a few hours, just a sheet of plywood or something might help to stop the seeds being washed out. Or an umbrella? :-)

6:30 am

Patxxx

Sally-c It's too windy for brollies here and the last time one blew away the cows in the next field played footie with it. Off to shops so will see what I can cadge. By the time I've sorted it out it will be Monday and hopefully drier! I prefer Babble to gardening but people nag.

6:31 am

Patxxx

Thanks vm Sally-c.

6:32 am

Sally-catlover

np. Have fireworks now so will toodle off. See you again. Good luck with the carrots.

ITA mom - I didn't get so much as one red tomato last year. was the worst year I can remember

6:58 am

Riverdance

we had hundreds but got hit with the blight and had to bag it all and throw it all away. Couldnt even compost.

6:58 am

Riverdance

I was only able to make one pot of sauce before they all turned bad

6:59 am

lynxxx

what causes blight, is it weather?

6:59 am

Riverdance

no - some disease that hit the tomatoes hard last year

7:00 am

Riverdance

it didnt bother our potato plants but I heard other people talk about killing those as well.

7:01 am

Riverdance

we had a real wet summer last year - I wonder if it had something to do with that - but we have had wet weather before and this was the first time the crop was killed

7:01 am

lynxxx

maybe it is like the irish potato blight? Tomatos are related to potatos aren't they?

7:02 am

Riverdance

the year before it was so wet, our turnips rotted in the ground but the tomatoes flourished - who knows!

7:02 am

Riverdance

it may be

7:04 am

lynxxx

seems 'late' blight is a type of fungi or protist (good Babble word) and it is the Irish famine thing - and does effect both tomatos and potatos (TY Google)

7:12 am

True lynxxxx

7:24 am

my son leaves forms to sign in his back pack untill they are due that morning

lol

7:25 am

SeaSpray

Yep, sounds familiar, but now she is very responsible and successful, so who knows?

7:25 am

Norma

Isn't it wonderful that kids are the same the world over....lol

7:25 am

Riverdance

my 13 years old is so sweet - he will agree with everything I say and smile - then do exactly what he wants. He doesnt yell and scream like my 17 year old daughter. He is always pleasant but does what he wants. YOu can take everything away from him and he continues to smile and does what he wants. How do you fight that.

7:25 am

crosshair

i look at him and his friends and thing "these brats are going to run the world???"

7:25 am

SeaSpray

Wow Mom, he's good huh? lol

7:26 am

Riverdance

He's the best!

7:26 am

lynxxx

He's sounds kinda cute Momneeds...at least you dragged him up the right way. Manners and a nice smile will get him a long way. lol

7:26 am

crosshair

lol passive resistance,he leaned that from army movies mom, the way it goes is that you never say no to an order and get court marshalled,you just say yes sir,then dont do it lol

7:26 am

SeaSpray

He will be a salesman or an attorney then ?

7:27 am

Riverdance

his goal in life is to be a professional soccer player - I try to explain that is tough to do especially in the US. And he smiles.....

7:28 am

crosshair

says yes mam,then does his thing lol

7:28 am

Riverdance

I would so rather have him like this - he will charm his way into anything

7:29 am

crosshair

whew!..ok..tea,toast or 3 fingers of bourbon...mmmm

7:30 am

lynxxx

maybe he can give your daughter some lessons

7:30 am

SeaSpray

At lease he is pleasant rather than rebellious...

7:30 am

Riverdance

now my daughter gives me THAT look like I have no idea what I am talking about - she knows it all - I'd go with the bourbon but as you say it is only 8:30 am

7:31 am

SeaSpray

It's 5 o'clock somewhere

7:31 am

overall they are good kids so I cant complain TOO much

too early to wrap my brain around an 8 although a ve8 sounds tasty for breakfast

hint for the ve8 (or the other 8)

8:01 am

jmcnrick

hi ruby

8:01 am

that you are, ruby, your very existence is a clue

8:02 am

ve8 and ex8 are the 8's, both nice normal words...

hi vicuna -- life or grid?

Well, both, ruby! lol But the former hopefully will take a longer time than the latter.

8:05 am

not only that vic but i haven't gotten the word yet!

8:05 am

Hello new entrants. I am back + forth from here, on other websites.

8:11 am

jmcnrick

8:11 am

rubyfoo

it's a great, cheap and easy solution

8:12 am

Anniebrook

i have some pots on my terrace that need some tarting up

8:12 am

rubyfoo

I studied garden books for 3 years before we moved here, so it was all theoretical but it's truly lovely

8:12 am

jmcnrick

i could probably use some tarting up my self *pokes at bags under eyes*

8:12 am

rubyfoo

hahah annie

8:13 am

rubyfoo

my wrinkles have wrinkles of their own!

8:13 am

Vicuna

*sticks some impatiens under jmc's eyes*... Nah. You look fine the way you are.

8:13 am

Anniebrook

ruby, you must take pictures of your garden and show them to us.

8:14 am

rubyfoo

for the deck, I did a planter with parsley, chives, tiny basil and magenta celosia and some purple daisy-looking prolific flower. Oh, and also a purple -flowering succulent which actually survived the winter

8:14 am

Anniebrook

anyone who can tart up a garden is beautiful.

8:14 am

jmcnrick

*looks in mirror* but they bring color to my face!

8:15 am

rubyfoo

is it safe to put my e-mail address in my profile, or maybe I'll sign up for flickr....

8:15 am

rubyfoo

my trick for the garden was limiting colors -- works like a charm

8:15 am

NonnieLight

Immigration or invasion?

8:27 am

jmcnrick

Clue for Vi7, please?

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Don't you think that the truly great people out there, that can lead our country, decide to not venture into the public microscope with impending scrutiny + attacks? That is what I fear--politicians are just narcissists.

8:29 am

12:58 pm

redturtlehead

en**** was really expensive in the US; here, when in season, it is very inexpensive

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

I like it just braised in butter

12:59 pm

1:06 pm

Barb's Horses

hi gadget

1:06 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Gadget! I thnk it is more relaxing that the last few.

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

no, I think the peonies need them!

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

how old are they?

1:09 pm

Barb's Horses

that's what I thought to split the flower buds open...gosh about 3 -4 years maybe older as I moved them to this house 3 years ago when we moved

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

maybe you planted them upside down. That's what happened with my white ones and they took years before they flowered!

1:10 pm

Barb's Horses

they had one or two bud each the first year we moved here

1:10 pm

Gadget

Clue for the ex8?

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

I wish I could give you advice, but this is my first garden, and once the peonies got established, they've been wonderful

1:10 pm

Barb's Horses

hmmm upside down huh I will have to check

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

ex8, hurry things along

1:11 pm

whoo hooo peri

3:59 pm

redturtlehead

hello JMCn

3:59 pm

jmcnrick

hiya red

3:59 pm

jmcnrick

hows the work front? still a struggle?

4:00 pm

redturtlehead

new job jmc, starts on the 24th of May.

4:00 pm

jmcnrick

wtg red! which one is it?

4:01 pm

jmcnrick

are both y words 4s?

4:01 pm

redturtlehead

its the other ED, the pay is much improved. not really what i wanted but it is what I am qualified to do, and I will be making a lot more money.

4:02 pm

lynxxx

yep

4:02 pm

redturtlehead

yes, on snow monster and one with a double consonant.

4:02 pm

jmcnrick

ty lynxxx i will refrain from asking for a clue then

4:02 pm

jmcnrick

ty red

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

well i am sorry it is not what you wanted but are the people better?

4:03 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, they are of course talking abut the Casey Anthony case here in Orlando. They are talking about moving Jurors here to Orlando...

4:04 pm

redturtlehead

What happens to someone like me if sequestered for 8 weeks for a trial. I mean, you dont get really paid....

4:04 pm

redturtlehead

I have no idea, but the pay is improved, by quite a lot. I was astounded.

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

most judges let people who cannot afford to be sequestered because of work not be picked

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

you do get paid a token for jury duty everywhere i know

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

for the unemployed it is a pretty good deal

4:06 pm

redturtlehead

That makes me wonder how fair a jury is if they take a lot of working people out of the picture.

4:06 pm

jmcnrick

that is a sad case no matter how it turns out

4:06 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I think it's a bit of a circus. I would be a terrible juror. She killed her daughter. I am of that opinion.

4:06 pm

redturtlehead

I do wonder where they will find people who did not hear of the case.

4:07 pm

lynxxx

Here in Aust, the jurors employer is required to continue paying the person. The juror would pay over the $30 per day he get to his employer. Hard on small businessess

4:08 pm

redturtlehead

Well, most cases do not take that long, I think a week or so at most.

4:09 pm

redturtlehead

anyone want to throw me a clue or two for anything?

4:10 pm

lynxxx

72 Temple Owl

hi red! are you aware there was a girl in AMerica before the turn of the century who made the same claim? the book was reviewed well.

4:30 pm

redturtlehead

No I wasnt TO, interesting. And amazing.

4:30 pm

redturtlehead

I cant go ten minutes without drinking something.

4:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

i began the book but did not finish it. fairly recent

4:34 pm

redturtlehead

So, it did not hold your interest?

4:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

i rmemember she had been hit by a trolley i think... and there was a diagnosis of some type of nervosa...by product of the inudstrial age, she was in NYC

4:35 pm

redturtlehead

interesting, how long did she live?

4:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i didn't get that far :(. either did not appeal or was having trouble with eyes.glasses at the time.

4:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:37 pm

redturtlehead

May see if it at the library, Been rading a lot lately for some reason.

4:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:39 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I find lately I am limited by what is in our library, which is, shall we say, an eclectic collection!

4:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

so gruseome i could not read it

4:41 pm

redturtlehead

Oh, I do not love the gruesome type of books. I like a good clean murder mystery, where tey discover the body, not describe what happened to the body before it was dead.

4:42 pm

MadXSer

4:42 pm

redturtlehead

4:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

Madx, the other 8 is a ve 8, and it is something that Mafia type people often persue.

5:07 pm

redturtlehead

I'm not a big coupon user, dont take the paper etc.

7:04 pm

Riverdance

domino was taken during the night - we had an enclosed cage so they could get out of the hutch from a ramp. We found a hole in the wiring one morning and domino gone - no blood, nothing - strange since she was the shy one and would never leave the hutch. Moon died a year later - probably loneliness = they were sisters

7:05 pm

I am missing many Ps

Bugsaw

seems like I came in at the right time for a party! I have brownies and icecream for the everyone who can enjoy it.

7:42 pm

stidmama

hey bugs!!! ((((HUGS AND HUGS)))) I had an uncomfortable experience yesterday with a student I didn't know well enough (managed to say JUST the wrong thing and it blew up FAST) and talked to my teacher and others at the school, and thought of you... and soldiered on. I am really hoping those kinds of situations will be few and far between...

7:42 pm

LeslieAnn

*raises hand* nom nom nom

7:42 pm

lbdawger

7:43 pm

Riverdance

oh stid - doesnt matter what job - we all have uncomfortable, difficult situations - good for you getting through it standing tall

7:43 pm

Bugsaw

Don't worry stid. We all make mistakes that are never meant to be mistakes, it is just the way the kid interprets it. Or it could be that they are on the ASD scale and you just being new was enough to agitate them.

7:44 pm

stidmama

thanks Bugs and Mom. that's the kind of thing people are saying in person, too.

7:44 pm

stidmama

HATE house

7:53 pm

Riverdance

hush kje - shhh - it could get tough here

7:54 pm

Pinikula

I used to like him...but it's gone more soap-opery than I care for...

7:54 pm

kje

he is obnoxious

7:54 pm

Scrabbler

I like Dr House--says things I wish I COULD say. But, as with all medical shows, it lacks accuracy.

7:54 pm

Riverdance

YES - that is what is so great

7:54 pm

Riverdance

its entertainment

7:55 pm

torgone

Heyas kids ..

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

He is a flawed character.

7:55 pm

Riverdance

arent we all?

7:55 pm

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Torgone

7:55 pm

torgone

oops

7:55 pm

Riverdance

to the PB with you =- sorry coffee is cold

7:55 pm

Riverdance

but may have some beverage chilled by this time

7:56 pm

Bugsaw

hate House too because people in hospital are already upset and don't need more stress from insensitive staff.

7:56 pm

torgone

RIGHT into the PB .. again

7:56 pm

lbdawger

hi torg!

7:56 pm

kje

heya bgh... great entrance

7:57 pm

Bugsaw

7:57 pm

Riverdance

7:57 pm

Pinikula

* thinking *

7:57 pm

Scrabbler

A physician like House would never be tolerated--he would be dismissed quickly.

7:58 pm

kje

yes... and sued constantly

7:58 pm

kje

he is an ass

7:58 pm

lbdawger

vi + consonant + diminuative ending

7:58 pm

Bugsaw

I agree Scrabbs so why glorify a guy as crass as that? Makes no sense

7:59 pm

Pinikula

* still thinking *

7:59 pm

Riverdance

someone needs to remind me what a diminutive ending is - been too long to remember - never the English major

7:59 pm

Pinikula

got it!

8:00 pm

Riverdance

gg Pini

8:00 pm

Scrabbler

He verbalizes the truth.

8:00 pm

LeslieAnn

like a rock**** at radio city music hall

8:00 pm

Pinikula

MNH, try "dude v. dude***"

8:00 pm

Pinikula

koda call..brb

8:00 pm

Bugsaw

but in an abusive manner Scrabs.

8:01 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, tactless, blunt, cruel, but because it is not real I can laugh at him.

8:01 pm

Riverdance

gruff yes but gets the job done

8:01 pm

Riverdance

on TV that is

8:02 pm

Riverdance

now if that was my personal physician - he wouldnt be

8:03 pm

Scrabbler

House is an extreme example of an impaired MD.

8:04 pm

LeslieAnn

35 left, seems like a good time to list

8:04 pm

Bugsaw

Because I work with people who have as few social skills as him all day, I don't enjoy it again at night. I like things like NCIS because it is definately fantasy and something I cannot relate to in any way except the way the co-workers jibe each other. (Hope I am not in the PB for any of this.)

8:04 pm

Riverdance

Now that I'm do4/5 with the grid I can give a ha 4/5 with clues. Here is a story of clues for you to di 4/8 into. I hope this story this ex 8/75s your fireworks. Last weekend my hubby and I at6/21 a dog parade.I ha4/8 become an av 4/8 dog lover. Although my dog is a boy, he acts like a di4/8 sometimes. My husband hates it, but I not give a di 4/5 how my dog acts. My hubby doesn't think it is a good id4/5 to spoil my dog but I do anyway.I try to take good care of my dog. I try to give my dog a good di4/5. Every ni4/4 my dog di4/5s on Dog Chow. Every ni 4/4 we play a game of hi4/6 and seek & then he sits on the di 5/18 with me while I watch my soaps. I wish I could send a vi 5/18 of him to America's Funniest Home Vi 5/18s. One day my dog got into a bee hi 4/8. I believe he learned his lesson.Sometimes I wish I could ta4/5 his mouth shut because he te 4/5s to barks a lot.I did not ed4/5 my story so there may be some mistakes. I have not ea 5/10 dessert yet, so I am off to find something good.
