12:25 am

joshuavorbis

if so, why in the world were they hashing it all out in the chat log here

12:25 am

Laurenh1982

I don't normally chat on the board, but even I noticed the random trouble in babble-land.

12:25 am

stidmama

every so often, drama spills over and people are unreasonable all over the web. Not just from babble-land. I try to ignore what I can...

12:26 am

jillibus

no, there is a group on FB. JC is not there.

12:26 am

rururocks

what happened?

12:26 am

stidmama

hello lauren.

12:26 am

joshuavorbis

there is a babble group on fb?

12:26 am

jillibus

JC has left Babble.

12:26 am

stidmama

I think it is a lack of manners, to be honest, joshua. but people lose all sense of propriety sometimes.

12:27 am

stidmama

again, jill?

12:27 am

PAV3

throws tantrum...without waking poopies and calls it quits...see y'all on the weeeknd next! no NBT for moi!

12:27 am

jillibus

Yes, josh, but there is a sub-group out for JC's hide. Please, let's drop this.

12:28 am

joshuavorbis

i was only asking to possibly join the group myself, but it sounds too charged for now

12:28 am

jillibus

I have found it VERY upsetting.

12:28 am

Douglas

12:28 am

Douglas

No west, just cluing with a Frank Zappa reference

12:38 am

concerned about that hassle and its effects.

12:39 am

Douglas

12:39 am

joshuavorbis

12:39 am

Ormal

ah yw Marmar.

12:39 am

westford

Yay grem and tyvm !!

12:40 am

Jellen

Yay and thanks, gremlinn!

12:40 am

jillibus

Fab, grem, and thanks again!

12:40 am

stidmama

ah. I think, Jill, that it something that is not worth losing sleep over.

12:40 am

rururocks

when did this all happen?

12:40 am

Ormal

wtg gremlinn

12:40 am

stidmama

ruru, it is an ongoing thing for many months.

12:40 am

rururocks

<<----now very curious

12:40 am

stidmama

YAY gremlinn

12:40 am

stidmama

and thanks for the clues

12:41 am

westford

mar is mother's day celebrated in Germany on May 9th?

12:41 am

jillibus

Josh, no, it was work I had to do but the lingering sorrow didn't help.

12:41 am

rururocks

<<--- last one to know anything

12:41 am

Jellen

No, ruru, that would be me... :-)

12:41 am

Marmar

Yes West, some years (for some reason) it's different than in the states but this year it was the same.

12:41 am

gremlinn

Nah, that's nothing. On another community site I go to, there was drama behind the scenes for a few years that I didn't know about.

12:42 am

westford

I hope you had a happy one then

12:42 am

jillibus

stid, I'm afraid it isn't nonsense for the victim.

12:42 am

Douglas

As I was telling the Prince of Wales, I just hate it when people drop names

12:42 am

rururocks

seems to me JC likes the drama

12:42 am

westford

lol doug and thanks for the ty

12:42 am

Marmar

Father's Day is always on a Thursday and coinsides with another holiday. Different than the states: the men all get together and go drinking somewhere. I can't get into it... Yes, ours was nice. Hope yours too!

12:42 am

Jellen

lol, Douglas

12:43 am

stidmama

I think, Jill, that some people take things WAY too far and won't let things drop when a sensible person realizes a response only makes it worse.

12:43 am

Douglas

yw west

12:43 am

jillibus

No, ruru, he doesn't.

12:43 am

gremlinn

Doug: I'm missing a name. I think I dropped it beneath your table somewhere.

Yay dart !!

12:44 am

12:46 am

Ormal

I told my husband he's getting the same breakfast in bed (for Father's Day) that I got last year for Mother's Day: My youngest made me saltine crackers with writing icing on them that said "I love you Mom." VERY CUTE. VERY NASTY and I HAD to eat them!

12:47 am

Marmar

Then maybe I should change my name...is Speedy Gonzales available?

12:47 am

westford

12:47 am

rururocks

12:47 am

12:51 am

Marmar

Now I do a similar thing, my son plays soccer and those shin protectors that they wear have a very funny name in German and I end up mutilating it every time I try to say it, something like shin shone shiners or shone shine swoppers, I don't even know the real words.

1:01 am

Marmar

We looked at a Collie mix at first but the woman at the pound looked at our three little kids and said the collie was too much dog for them (she was already an adult, rescued from the forest in France and ended up here) then she said, "I've got the dog for your family", went away for a min. and come back with this handful of fluff. 8 weeks old and perfect for us!

1:01 am

Douglas

No west, but I was celebrating my graying out the y with a 50 Cent song

westford

Marmar

I went to Sul Ross in Alpine, I love west Texas! Have you ever seen the Marfa lights?! I have, very strange!

1:24 am

Ormal

Hello sprite.

2:52 am

sprite

hi jilli

2:52 am

SamanthaJoy

Wait now. If "hoose" is not found in the dictionary, then what in the heck is a hoosegow?

2:53 am

sprite

good writeup, jilli

2:53 am

sprite

beats me, SamanthaJoy, and hi

2:54 am

jean1953

good morning everyone :)

2:54 am

sprite

morning jean!

2:55 am

SamanthaJoy

This isn't actually so much a morning for me, despite the clock's findings.

2:56 am

SamanthaJoy

And if
mosh
isn't in the dictionary then what is a mosh pit??!?!

2:57 am

JFB

Does Homer know that 'dohs' isn't a word?

2:57 am

sprite

hi JFB

2:57 am

JFB

Good morning all

2:58 am

SamanthaJoy

Babble is making me question the legitimacy of the language of my white trash identity. I may sue.

3:03 am

sprite

always love it when I can grey out the U easily

3:06 am

jillibus

Srite -- very intersting writeup :)

3:06 am

sprite

thanks jilli :)
I didn't know about the islands being left to fend for themselves... painful, isn't it?

3:06 am

jillibus

And now I'm going to bed -- can't even type Sprite right.

3:07 am

sprite

sleep well, and dream even better!

3:07 am

jillibus

Yes -- I vaguely remember something about that. Have you read that book -- the potato pie ting?

3:08 am

sprite

no I haven't. Good book?

3:13 am

jillibus

Excellent. I can't remember the title properly just now (very tired) -- The Guernsey Potato Pie Club or something like that.

3:13 am

sprite

oh I will find it on the internet, no worries. Thanks for the idea!

3:14 am

herinfernallady

Hello

3:14 am

sprite

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - right?

3:15 am

sprite

hi lady *hug*

3:15 am

jillibus

googled it -- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

3:15 am

sprite

hehehe ok, thanks!

3:15 am

jillibus

Goodnight -- I'm gone *poof*

3:18 am

herinfernallady

night OSGMA

3:22 am

JFB

That is a great book isn't it? Loved it. Its now doing the rounds of the family

3:23 am

sprite

haven't read it, but seeing how it comes with such warm recommendations, I am going to read it!

3:24 am

herinfernallady

I believe I have to go and leave anything to do with babble judging by previous comments made today

3:24 am

sprite

sorry lady, now you lost me... what's up?

3:24 am

lynxxx

Hi Sprite Infernal & JFB. What is Babble judging Infernal?

3:25 am

sprite

hi lyn!

3:25 am

lynxxx

hi Sprite, you are sounding perky - still healing well?

3:26 am

herinfernallady

Not that I can't even have oppinions on my FB anymore which was promply deleted. Just read back in the chat between 1220 - 1228am.

3:26 am

sprite

yes, better all the while. Slow but noticeable :)
How are you today? Had a good day?

3:26 am

JFB

Its a very gentle, feel-good book but informative for those who don't know the history of the islands. Now i must go and sort out the after the weekend house!

3:26 am

lynxxx

bye JFB

3:26 am

sprite

ah, good luck with that, JFB.

3:27 am

lynxxx

That's good Sprite. Very nice day

3:27 am

herinfernallady

or say Hi to Jill anymore

3:29 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/df99gd This sums up my life at teh moment/ For you to have a grin

3:30 am

lynxxx

Sub group - well there is one but not yours Infernal. Don't fuss about it

3:31 am

sprite

oh, the J.C. business. I heard, Rolin met the real one and so the babble one got busted... that is all. I don't see why anybody could be angry about that, or it should be at the babble J.C. for lying.

3:31 am

herinfernallady

what sub group?

3:32 am

Sally-catlover

Joins in. Oh, so that was /not/ the real JC? I did wonder at the time.

3:32 am

sprite

funny, to pick that word.. subgroup. I second lyn.

3:32 am

Sally-catlover

And good morning everyone. Slightly mystified as to what's been going on, but gets on with grid.

3:33 am

sprite

Rolin went to a show of Julian Clary and asked him about babble afterwards. As simple as that. He told her it is not at all uncommon for people to pretend to be him, or even set up personal pages as if they were him.

3:34 am

lynxxx

hi Sally

3:34 am

sprite

hi Sally! It is a good grid, so far.

3:34 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, I'm so glad you cleared that up for me Sprite. It would of course be a way to get at the real one.

3:35 am

Sally-catlover

Perhaps I will set up a fake personality. But who should I pretend to be?

3:35 am

Haz1558

You can't be the Queen. I've got the twin set and pearls already. Philip, get the corgis!

3:35 am

herinfernallady

what sub group Lynxx ?

3:35 am

sprite

well, I like or rarely dislike people on babble because of how they treat me and others, and not based on any claim to fame.
Hm Sally... want to be errrr Margarat Thatcher? That would give you some attention!

3:36 am

sprite

lady, in the chat you mentioned, somebody says a subgroup is after J.C.'s hide.

3:36 am

sprite

*margaret* So sorry.

3:36 am

Haz1558

Does a sub group operate underwater?

3:36 am

Sally-catlover

I think David Cameron would be better at the moment :-) And who says I can't pretend to be a man!

3:36 am

herinfernallady

O right no i didn't

3:36 am

Haz1558

Torpedos and limpet mines and things?

3:37 am

sprite

hi Haz :)
Your Royel Shyness!

3:37 am

Haz1558

Greetings!

3:37 am

sprite

oh cool Sally!

3:37 am

sprite

I am having a spelling issue today. Royal!

3:37 am

herinfernallady

Haz why did I read that underwater us underwear?

3:38 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, can I befriend the man in the wet suit like in James Bond? I'be changed my mind about David Cameron, I'll be the young slim blonde with the flowing hair (I wish).

3:38 am

lynxxx

hi Lizzy! oops - Haz?

3:38 am

Haz1558

You're not wearing your specs, herin?

3:38 am

sprite

lol drag your mind out of the gutter, lady!

3:38 am

herinfernallady

yes I am but I have written part 2 of my assignment for 5 hours today at 1000 words so not much makes sense

3:39 am

Haz1558

I'd love to be Judi Dench. There was a programme on about her last night and I'm telling you, I could listen to that voice reciting the phone directory.

3:39 am

sprite

of course you can, Sally. Less interesting, but wow goodlooking :)

3:39 am

sprite

voices are so important

3:40 am

Haz1558

It was 'The South Bank Show revisited'. worth watching if you missed it (on ITV).

3:40 am

sprite

lady: good for you!

3:40 am

Sally-catlover

I think we should all have alter egos. Less interesting Sprite? Well it depends who's in the wet suit. Pierce Brosnan would do for a start :-)

3:40 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, she and Joanna Lumley have delicious voices.

3:40 am

sprite

yummy :)

3:40 am

Sally-catlover

I'm a sucker for voices too Haz.

3:40 am

herinfernallady

Haz you would love my friends ''posh'' voice on the phone. She used to be a professional phone voice person

3:41 am

sprite

ok then, who should I be?

3:41 am

Haz1558

Clare Balding is another one, she's not an actress but her voice is great.

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

You know, it's odd. When I think about who I would be (not that I can't be Queen) there's no-one I'd rather be than me. Pathetic, isn't it.

3:42 am

sprite

the first thing about my love that set off butterflies in my belly and heart was his voice

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, I know! Only of knowledge to UK, but I'd be Charlotte Green - now there's a seriously sexy voice.

3:42 am

sprite

same here, Sally. Come on, we will occupy the penalty box and have a goodies party, just because.

3:42 am

Haz1558

Do you want to share being the Queen, Sally? You could be Sandringham QUeen, I could be Balmoral Queen etc.

3:43 am

lynxxx

Comfortable in your own skin - I think that is great Sally

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

But how did you understand him sprite? He must have been talking Dutch :-)

3:43 am

jean1953

am back good morning everyone again:)

3:43 am

sprite

roflol he was, and so was I. Dutch to the bone, both of us.

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

Not sure about the skin bit atm :-(

3:43 am

sprite

wb jean!

3:43 am

lynxxx

hi Jean

3:43 am

herinfernallady

Odd that I am one person I would love to interview is Marilyn Manson. Yes I know very odd man but so very inteligent

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

I like the idea of sharing being Queen. Sandringham and Windsor for me perhaps?

3:43 am

Haz1558

Hello, jean.

3:44 am

jean1953

Hello Haz:)

3:44 am

Haz1558

Yes, that sounds good, Sally. I'd be Balmoral, all wreathed in tartans and woollies with heather sticking to my boots

3:44 am

Sally-catlover

Did a double-take there herein, read that as Marilyn Monroe!

3:45 am

Haz1558

Of course, Ata could do a wonderful Einstein, being in the family and all.

3:45 am

sprite

the both of you will reign well, I can tell from the start.

3:45 am

Sally-catlover

You can have Buckingham Palace and the corgis Haz, seeing you are so good with dogs.

3:45 am

herinfernallady

Sally he got his name from the dichotomy of good and evil. Marilyn Monroe was good Charles Manson was bad

3:46 am

lynxxx

and Spangle can walk on her knees and do a Corgi imitation

3:46 am

Haz1558

But the corgis go everywhere, Sally. They follow her round in a little cloud of ginger fur.

3:46 am

Sally-catlover

lol lynxxx

3:46 am

Sally-catlover

Not my favourite breed, Haz. Prefer bigger dogs.

3:46 am

sprite

as if Spangle would ever lower herself like that!

3:46 am

Haz1558

Can you imagine? Spangle trying to fit in with corgis. She's be so bewildered.

3:47 am

Sally-catlover

Surely Spangle would be Dog Queen?

3:47 am

Sally-catlover

If I sneak my cats in, they will soon see off the corgis.

3:47 am

herinfernallady

apparently I am not doing my homework but I am :( I am babbling whilst I load up new pages

3:47 am

Haz1558

One things'for sure, she'd relish being chauffeured around. That dog loves the car.

3:48 am

sprite

lady, you are doing well! Lighten up and be proud of yourself. *hugs* from the sprite.

3:49 am

herinfernallady

Hugs Sprite. How is my dear pup?

3:50 am

sprite

not good today! My love just came in and told me Terra is throwing up. I hope it is not a virus, but just something he shouldn't have stuffed in his mouth during a walk.

3:51 am

lynxxx

probably just ate some grass

3:51 am

herinfernallady

Some times they get hair balls like cats

3:52 am

Haz1558

Most cases of vomiting are because the dog has eaten something that he/she shouldn't have. If the vomiting clears up within a day or two, well and good, you only start to worry if it doesn't clear up/ if the dog can't keep water down etc.

3:52 am

sprite

I hope so. Usually when he does that, he throws up and goes back to being happy. Now he is a little heap of pathetic something.

3:53 am

Haz1558

Don't give food for 24 hours, give plenty of access to water, if he's no better after another day, then start to consider other possibilities.

3:53 am

sprite

indeed. Glad it is on a Monday, it is easy to wait for a bit knowing we can get to a vet if necessary tomorrow.

3:54 am

sprite

thanks Haz and lyn

3:54 am

Haz1558

Hopefully he'll be back to normal soon.

3:54 am

sprite

he most likely will. Thanks.

3:55 am

herinfernallady

Also make sure that the dog still is pooping and peeing like normal. Not so easy with a dog than it is with a litter trained kitty

3:55 am

sandyloo

Sprite, our dogs vomit often but they eat strange things on the property. they have survived , I hope you don't have any snail pellets aroun

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Hi Sandy

3:56 am

sandyloo

I'm not lurking

3:56 am

Haz1558

It's actually more reassuring if the dog has diarrhoea because that way you can be sure that's it's a digestive upset rather than a foreign body or something. Messy, though.

3:56 am

sprite

no, none. Snails in plenty, though! Hi sandy :)

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Do you know the best way to get rid of snails safely?

3:57 am

sprite

beer, lady?

3:57 am

jean1953

right am off again but hope to bbl Happy Babbling everyone:)

3:57 am

sandyloo

Haz is right , if they have diarrhoea that means that they have no restriction in the bowel which can be very serious

3:57 am

herinfernallady

yep

3:57 am

sprite

bye jean, have a grand day!

3:57 am

sandyloo

Herin, eating snails with garlic is quite a good idea

3:58 am

Sally-catlover

brb

3:58 am

sprite

not these snails, I bet, sandy.

3:58 am

Haz1558

Bye jean.

3:58 am

herinfernallady

ewwwww not those sort the big juicy food ones yes (unless you are a wee kid)

3:59 am

sandyloo

I love the edible ones

3:59 am

sprite

will keep a check on Terra's poo, for sure.

3:59 am

Haz1558

You're a good dog owner, sprite.

4:00 am

sprite

thanks Haz, just trying to be good to him. He deserves no less.

4:00 am

Haz1558

I know. Non-dog owners would be aghast, but it's just something you accept, isn't it?

4:01 am

sprite

yes, like with babies. It needs taking care of, so you take care of it.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Exactly.

4:02 am

herinfernallady

Sprite don't worry I do that with the cats. Have to to make sure they don't have any UTI's and are having the right food

4:02 am

Haz1558

And at least dogs don't have temper tantrums or roll their eyes.

4:02 am

sandyloo

children, pets, husbands they all need care

4:02 am

sprite

lol sandy, true!

4:02 am

sandyloo

seems like women are the most self sufficient

4:03 am

Haz1558

We have an elderly lady client who is besotted with her cat, sometimes rings up for permission to refuse to give her cat more treats than she should have. The saddest time was when she had shingles, and her whole concern was in case she gave the cat shingles..

4:03 am

sprite

oh Haz, exactly my kids atm... the tantrums mostly my daughter, the rolling with eyes, my son. So funny!

4:04 am

sprite

aw that is sad

4:04 am

herinfernallady

My b.f is caring for me at the moment so I can do homework

4:04 am

sandyloo

I want to live on an island with a computer

4:04 am

Sally-catlover

Does he know you're actually doing babble, herein?

4:04 am

sandyloo

Your bf sounds like a saint herin!

4:05 am

sprite

I think caring for eachother is an important part of relationships. My love cares for me as I do for him, where and when it is necessary.

4:05 am

herinfernallady

Sally I am actually doing work. Not one word into babble. I am googling stuff

4:05 am

sprite

oh sandy, and then you MUST name your computer Friday!

4:06 am

Sally-catlover

lol, only teasing herein.

4:06 am

sandyloo

This is beginning to sound too goody goody Sprite!

4:06 am

sandyloo

LOL Sprite

4:06 am

sprite

yeah, I know. We are disgustingly happy together, lol.

4:06 am

sandyloo

I am here for everyone else's benefit I think

4:07 am

herinfernallady

That is ok Sally>men folk don't get multi tasking

4:07 am

herinfernallady

I have at the moment about 6 websites relating to school

4:07 am

sprite

downloading stuff takes time. Might as well fill it in with some friendly chat. Or crazy chat. Babble chat, anyway.

4:08 am

sprite

you're here for mine, for sure, sandy. I like having you around.

4:08 am

Haz1558

I think multi-tasking probably looks messy. On Saturday, I was putting away shopping, making soup, making a pudding and making tea for a visitor. He probably thought that I was mad.

4:09 am

Haz1558

I might have got everything done just as well if I'd tackled one job at a time but I'm too impatient.

4:09 am

herinfernallady

Well done Haz

4:09 am

sprite

my love is a Gemini, and my son too. They love doing ugh things at the same time. Multitasking is a male thing in this house, since I can do only one thing at a time.

4:09 am

Sally-catlover

But it's very efficient Haz. Husband gets his own breakfast and I can't bear to watch. It's like watching paint dry

4:09 am

Haz1558

The soup and the pudding were for the next day, he wasn't even going to have any!

4:10 am

herinfernallady

We have cable broadband so it takes a heart beat to get it to go. I just have to get up PDF's which take for ever

4:10 am

sandyloo

How are you sally, I was thinking about how you must be coping!

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

You have to multi-task when you are cooking, otherwise things aren't all ready at the same time. We just don't think about it.

4:12 am

Haz1558

That's true.

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

I'm really fine sandy. Would never have explained all the problems if I hadn't been asked!

4:12 am

herinfernallady

hungry here which is an issue when food is too hot.

4:12 am

sandyloo

Husband and I have been building another burning pile during the day. We will be lighting it soon - I do enjoy a good fire! Herin, are you watching Masterchef?

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

Main problem atm is that I have a (normally) mild psoriasis which has flared up a bit.

4:13 am

sandyloo

Sally, I think you are a brick!

4:13 am

herinfernallady

Sally have you tried Udder Cream?

4:13 am

sprite

sometimes it is good to share, Sally! So we can say How are you, and Good luck to you, and We are thinking of you :)

4:13 am

sandyloo

Udder Cream!!! What the .... is that?

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

Um, herein, I don't know what to say! Is it supposed to be good? I find baby oil works well for me.

4:14 am

sprite

oh I love fires. Lots of restrictions to fire in the Netherlands, but even a small one can be great.

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

I assume it's for cows with mastitis ...

4:14 am

herinfernallady

It is very good. You get it at feed stores. Dirt cheap. Mum uses Pine Tarsal

4:14 am

sprite

udder cream is very very fat. Might not be good with psoriasis.

4:14 am

Haz1558

Don't talk to me about cows with mastitis....

4:15 am

sprite

oh dear... lots of them atm, Haz?

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

Oil is better than any cream for me. If it is bad on my body, I put lots of baby oil in the bath.

4:15 am

herinfernallady

Udder Cream used for cow boobs. But they have found how well it works for skin irritations

4:15 am

sandyloo

I used to work for a dermatologist. I know psoriasis can be bad. He used to recommend a type of light therapy called PUVA treatment

4:15 am

Haz1558

Yes, although the malady of the season at the minute is displaced stomachs. Husband is doing regular operations.

4:15 am

sandyloo

Also judicious sun exposure

4:16 am

sprite

that is really bad, Haz, displaced stomachs. Dogs? Or cows? Or both?

4:16 am

sandyloo

Displaced stomachs??? Udder Cream???? what next!!!

4:16 am

Haz1558

Cattle.

4:16 am

Sally-catlover

I really don't need high levels of treatment because I have kept this more or less at bay for 40 years. It has just suddenly flared up really badly on my hands, and I believe (after judicious googling) may be related to the bad throat infection I have had.

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

I get a displaced stomach after a huge meal.

4:17 am

sprite

BIG operations then. And, if I am not mistaken, you need to hurry... can't it kill an animal very fast?

4:17 am

sandyloo

Sally, I don't know how old you are but sometimes psoriasis can get worse after menopause

4:17 am

Haz1558

Don't ask me to explain the technicalities, but basically one of the stomachs gets into the wrong place and has to be put back again. It can be right or left sided and can't be left for the cow to jiggle things back into place.

4:17 am

sprite

hehehe sandy, babble chat can be so interesting!

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

Well after that sandy.

4:18 am

sandyloo

I have a displaced stomach problem, it used to be flat and in place and now it seems to be getting lower

4:18 am

Haz1558

It's not an emergency, have to do it within the next five minutes, operation but it can't be left for too long.

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

lol sandy

4:19 am

sprite

at least it should bring in some income then, Haz. Poor cattle, though.

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

brb

4:19 am

Haz1558

I know. But they all cheer up when they see husband coming.

4:20 am

Haz1558

He keeps the syringe and the scalpel out of sight....

4:20 am

sprite

that is kinda special

4:20 am

sprite

lol

4:21 am

Haz1558

Okay, time I was supervising the housemaids and making sure the butler polishes the silver. I'll be back later. Enjoy the day!

4:21 am

Haz1558

Bye!

4:21 am

sandyloo

have to go, time to feed and rug!! I'm getting sick of this!! bbl

4:21 am

sprite

you too, Haz, bye

4:22 am

herinfernallady

bye Haz

4:22 am

sprite

bye sandy!

4:22 am

sandyloo

Is Haz a princess with housemaids cleaning her silver?

4:22 am

sprite

no, nothing so mundane. She is The Queen.

4:23 am

sprite

well, half The Queen, sharing the job with Sally

4:27 am

herinfernallady

right back to the work

4:27 am

herinfernallady

Later

4:27 am

sprite

go for it, lady. You are a hero. *hugs*

4:35 am

sandrafrances

any clue on the oo please

4:36 am

sprite

one is a plural sound word

4:37 am

sandrafrances

got that

4:38 am

sprite

the other two are a combo, oo + quote another person, but change the i into another vowel.

4:39 am

lynxxx

TY Sprite, glad I came back for that

4:39 am

wb lyn, and glad I could help

4:50 am

sprite

4:50 am

rubyfoo

Fortunately, Geneva is not a primte tourist destination

4:51 am

sandyloo

that ash could go on for years

4:51 am

rubyfoo

I am so happy, can't stop smiling

4:51 am

that ash might make a lot more climatic changes than the global heating

Trifioso

"mosh" is an oft used word around here, thanks to teenage boy....

6:08 am

Haz1558

Hello! I'm honestly not really here, but I wanted to catch Movieman in his hour of victory.

6:08 am

NonoNanette

No lickety's and no updates of rankings for several days, I wonder what is goin on

6:08 am

Haz1558

Maybe he and Dr-G are on strike.

6:09 am

Trifioso

lickety does the babble rankings? I didn't know that....

6:09 am

Haz1558

No, lickety does the lickety clues, Dr-G does the rankings. Together they could hold babblers to ransom.

6:09 am

NonoNanette

hmmmmm on strike, huh? maybe they are rebeling against work

6:09 am

Haz1558

You'll know things are serious when you don't see a new grid.

6:09 am

Trifioso

ohhhhhh - maybe they are off on a well-earned holiday together?

6:10 am

NonoNanette

I remember that happening not too awful long ago Haz, maybe a year or so ago

6:10 am

Trifioso

I still wouldn't be able to find all the words, ha ha ha

6:10 am

Haz1558

It's a good point of conversation for the chat log. It's not been unknown for some of us to let our imaginations work a little.

6:11 am

NonoNanette

very true

6:11 am

Haz1558

I know, Nono, it has happened - Dr-G has run out of grids on a couple of occasions.

6:12 am

Trifioso

is there a dh- word today, please?

6:12 am

movieman

I'm here haz, just had to empty dishwasher

6:12 am

Haz1558

Okay, I'll just say congratulations to Chelsea and hope that Movieman eventually notices! I've an appointment with the bathrooms....

6:12 am

movieman

And yes, I'm over the moon today

6:12 am

Haz1558

Ah! There you are. Happy today, MM?

6:13 am

movieman

What a result yesterday.......8-0!!!!!!!

6:13 am

Haz1558

You couldn't accuse this year of not being a close fought contest, that's for sure.

6:13 am

NonoNanette

no trif all d's are do's

6:13 am

Haz1558

I know - poor Wigan must have felt like crawling under a stone.

Haz1558

Do you think Al Fayed will sell Fulham?

6:16 am

movieman

He may, but he'd be foolish to

6:16 am

movieman

I mean, who'd expected them to get to the Europa League final?

6:17 am

Haz1558

It'll be interesting to see what happens. Football isn't just about the game any more, so much business going on behind the scenes.

6:18 am

movieman

Although I am a Blue through and through, I still have a bit of a soft spot for Fulham

6:18 am

not really grant: the program starts from the top left corner (the D today) and when it hits the first O, it finds the OS4; when it hits the 2nd O, it again finds the same OS4 and thus, rejects it; but obviously it foundf 2 other Os DIFFERENT from the ones from the 1st O - similarlay from the 3rd O...

7:13 am

guernseygirl

is it a wolf that you have met personally?

7:14 am

7:16 am

guernseygirl

crosshair

they will have every text book for every subject right in their reader

8:05 am

herinfernallady

That is so wrong Crossie unless you have a disability. I don't like hearing about the ''death'' of books

8:06 am

crosshair

it is not death herin.like i told gwen,real books will become even more sought after as a special gift as digital books become the norm..here ill give you an example,the toronto district school board will save 11 million dollars and 55 acres of trees by going digital with all their texts

8:07 am

crosshair

real books will never die,they will just be better made by small publishers in small batches

8:07 am

crosshair

eg: arkham house

8:07 am

herinfernallady

8:14 am

herinfernallady

That is ok Hoot

and the borrowed book degrades after 16 days

8:16 am

crosshair

but you can borrow it again

8:16 am

herinfernallady

Cross I get asked all the time how I can have so many references on my assignments. Google Books is my friend

8:16 am

crosshair

soon herin you will have "google editions"

8:17 am

crosshair

they will have many texts for schools

8:17 am

crosshair

this fall i believe

8:18 am

crosshair

it will all be open source files text,html,pfd and e-pub

8:19 am

crosshair

but the libraries will be e-pub only so be warned

8:20 am

herinfernallady

I use Google books for assignments when it is just half a page i need and I am not dragging a huge text home from the libraries

8:20 am

crosshair

e-pub books will be sent to the library just like regular books and the author will be compensated as usual

10:10 am

Scrabbler

I had Part 1 of root canal procedure on Friday, and Part 2 is on May 18th.

10:11 am

Haz1558

Fun times, eh?

10:11 am

rubyfoo

do you make your dentist give you a small novacaine shot and wait a bit and then give you the big one?

10:11 am

Scrabbler

The pain has been intense--up into jaw + ear. Nerve was dying--down into jaw bone.

10:12 am

Scrabbler

No, Ruby, he just thrust those needles right in!

10:12 am

rubyfoo

ask him nicely -- it makes a big difference to get the preliminary shot

10:12 am

rubyfoo

or you can threaten to bite his hand.....

10:13 am

Scrabbler

I am used to having a topical anesthetic applied to the tissue prior to the injections. Yes, part of my pain is soreness from injections!

10:13 am

rubyfoo

that is horrible!

10:14 am

Scrabbler

It wasn''t as bad as I feared--tiny needle. And I was eagerly looking forward to having nerve pain relieved with anesthetic anyway as it was making me shake, be nauseated + be so agitated.

10:15 am

guernseygirl

i had to go to a dentist in France last year. He went straight in and drilled with no injection and no warning - i hit the ceiling

10:15 am

Scrabbler

YIKES, GG! That is NOT humane AT ALL!

10:15 am

rubyfoo

we go to a really kind dentist in Geneva. If you look around at local teeth, you don't go here!

10:16 am

rubyfoo

and Geneva is less than an hour away.

10:16 am

rubyfoo

I think they don't drink enough milk here and have terrible teeth

10:16 am

rubyfoo

they make jokes about "American" teeth

10:17 am

guernseygirl

I was in a small town in the Pyrenees and i couldn't understand his French and he couldn't understand mine, so i guess he had a local accent, but when it came to payment, he suddenly found he was able to speak English!

10:18 am

rubyfoo

bad story, girlie! I had a local gynecologist do that to me; she was the first person who couldn't understand my French

10:18 am

Scrabbler

American dentistry is quite advanced, and most Americans expect that.

10:18 am

rubyfoo

I have to see to husband and guest; see you all later

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Ruby, they joke about Americans with healthy teeth?

10:19 am

rubyfoo

I had very good dental care when I was young and it has kept me in good stead even now

10:19 am

rubyfoo

they actually say "American teeth" - big and white and no visible silver bridgework!

10:19 am

guernseygirl

yes, we in Britain are envious of American teeth, although i think the trend for whitening has gone too far in some cases

10:20 am

Haz1558

American teeth = straight and gleaming white.

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Yes, we pride ourselves on straight, white teeth.

10:20 am

rubyfoo

has anybody seen Faye Dunaway lately? I saw her on TV and she's done something to her teeth that makes them super-white and too even - she looks like a shark!

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Some teeth--veneers--look fake.

10:21 am

rubyfoo

mine are sort of creamy and "relaxed", but healthy

10:21 am

rubyfoo

she looked scary!

10:22 am

rubyfoo

can you imagine putting an ammonia product in your mouth?

10:22 am

guernseygirl

mine are creamy and crooked, but i still have them all (touch wood)

10:22 am

guernseygirl

i've heard that it can be very painful

10:22 am

rubyfoo

or touch enamel!

10:22 am

Scrabbler

I periodically use whitening strips (Crest brand). Tea stains teeth.

10:23 am

rubyfoo

I have a couple of crowns, but with live teeth underneath, no root canals so far, so I've been lucky. And still have two wisdom teeth although they don't help me with the grid

10:23 am

rubyfoo

((hugs))

10:24 am

Scrabbler

I had my wisdom teeth removed in college. I will get my 4th crown when this tooth is fixed.

10:24 am

guernseygirl

lol, ruby.

10:25 am

Scrabbler

GG, did you get an injection after you returned to the chair?

10:26 am

guernseygirl

no. i had to (i was going to say grin) and bear it. luckily it was only a very small filling that had fallen out, and he didn't have to do much to tidy it up.

10:27 am

Scrabbler

But the pain should be prevented regardless.

10:27 am

Scrabbler

Alright, I must go see a 1 mo old baby girl now. BBS

10:27 am

guernseygirl

my own dentist said he'd done a good job but used very old fashioned amalgem

It is just the active metabolite of cetirizine (Zyrtec). Nasal antihistamines + steroids are far more effective than any oral antihistamine though.

The most potent antihistamine = diphenhydramine. But as for Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin, Clarinex, Xyzal--all much weaker than diphen, thus nonsedating. nasal sprays would be far better choices.

Its a huge change, glad you are breathing better. be sure to let your MD know if you decided to stop the meds, they may want you to reduce dose slowly, rather than just stopping them.

1:11 pm

Riverdance

I need to go to a spa - maybe a good massage, facial etc will help

1:11 pm

i am not in to alternative medicine at all and neither was my hubby but there are some very mainstream studies showing acupuncture works well for addictions

spa is good too!

It's amazing. I know that there is a program that was shown on MS public broadcast years ago that documented the water system and it's unique ecosystem... good stuff!

Riverdance

Good Night Ruby - enjoying the music

1:36 pm

rubyfoo

unlike mom (lol) I really like reptiles and was always fascinated by the alligators

1:36 pm

redturtlehead

I think the everglades are also interesting because it was the first National park created not for it's beauty but for the birds and wildlife that live there...

1:36 pm

redturtlehead

i love our alligators. though I am glad not to live in a place where they are hanging out on the roadside...

1:37 pm

rubyfoo

it is all flat, but the birds are wonderful. BTW, yesterday we had a very large heron in the garden, eyeing the fish, but a crow and I ran him off

1:37 pm

Riverdance

the friend I visited in Lake Wales has an aligator that cruises through her yard quite often

1:37 pm

rubyfoo

I used to walk right up to them in one of the accessible wildlife areas, figuring they were sunning themselves and I was too big for dinner, but I was told that I was, indeed, vulnerable!

1:38 pm

Soodle

LOL. Visions of Ruby and a Ruby-sized crow flapping at unwanted heron!

1:38 pm

rubyfoo

hello Soodle, have you heard Justine yet?

1:38 pm

rubyfoo

the heron had about a 4 ft wingspain and I could see him from above when he left, what a sight!

1:38 pm

Soodle

Pinikula

I wish!

2:37 pm

Riverdance

I need to leave on time too today - son has a track meet and want to catch some of it

2:37 pm

Pinikula

how fun...I used to do track (threw javelin for a bit)

2:37 pm

Pinikula

<-- definitely not a runner!

2:37 pm

Riverdance

he is a runner and jumper

2:38 pm

Pinikula

will make for a good afternoon then!

2:38 pm

Riverdance

came in first last week in the 400 meter relay and second in the 400 individual

2:38 pm

Pinikula

oooh, congratulations to him!

2:38 pm

Pinikula

I enjoy watching track/field...especially when I know someone who's competing...

2:38 pm

Riverdance

hopefully they wont do the runs before I get there.

2:39 pm

Pinikula

...I watched the summer olympic trials when they were held here.

2:39 pm

Riverdance

Its actually pretty boring unless its your kid - alot of wait time

2:45 pm

Nef

hello All. How are you today?

2:45 pm

Riverdance

HI Nef

2:45 pm

Nef

hi MNH. How are you today?

2:46 pm

Riverdance

doing OK - at work waiting for clock to tick down so I can go to my sons track meet

2:47 pm

Nef

sounds like fun. It looks like rain here; hope your weather is better that ours! (I remember sitting in the rain watching my dtr. in track)

2:48 pm

Riverdance

sunny here but cool 55 degrees and breezy

2:48 pm

Riverdance

its supposed to rain later this week and we have another track meet and daugher has a softball game. Just love being at the field with an umbrella

2:48 pm

Nef

not too bad then. Just dress warm! :-)

2:49 pm

Riverdance

I guess it beats the alternative though....

2:50 pm

Nef

I hated the rain for track events! It seemed worse for track than other sport events (to me at least)

2:51 pm

stidmama

*bounces into room and sits down dramatically* hello all! I "think" I have all my work for this week complete. Will print it out soon and then start on next week's work!!! *look of accomplishment*

2:51 pm

Riverdance

we have been lucky with the track meets - baseball and softball not so - game starts getting hairy when they lose control with a wet ball

2:51 pm

Nef

on a Monday, stid? WOW!

2:51 pm

Riverdance

good for you stid

2:52 pm

stidmama

I like track meets -- but the younger stidkid, who has "what it takes" is suffering from lack of funds -- no track at the middle school this year.

2:52 pm

Riverdance

our school doesnt pay for it either - no bus transportation - parent transport and we buy own uniforms

2:53 pm

stidmama

it was a factor of more than transportation I think... I suspect there was an insurance piece as well as the coach's fees etc.

2:53 pm

Riverdance

we are lucky our middle school funds the bigger sports like baseball, basketball and soccer

2:54 pm

stidmama

ours did too, this year -- not sure if there will be ANY intramural sports next year.

2:54 pm

Riverdance

I think our coach volunteers - great guy - does cross country in fall and track in spring - we are lucky to have him as it gets the kids somewhat ready for high school]

2:55 pm

Riverdance

that is SO wrong stid = kids need school sports

2:56 pm

stidmama

I agree, Mom. so the stidkid does Taekwondo (or will again, now that the school play is over), and climbs trees.

2:59 pm

stidmama

wow. down to 29 suddenly.

2:59 pm

stidmama

did I scare Nef away?

3:01 pm

waver12

hello, i am just got an account, how is everyone?

3:01 pm

stidmama

hello waver, welcome!

3:02 pm

Riverdance

I got ro run - work is over so get to watch track now - have fun all

3:02 pm

stidmama

later Mom. be well! ((hugs))

3:02 pm

waver12

thanks!

3:03 pm

Nef

stid, you didn't scare me away, DH needed help. His MS is bad; we are struggling right now

3:03 pm

stidmama

hey Nef. I am so sorry -- I thought he was doing better *very sad mama look*

3:03 pm

jmcnrick

hi waver

3:04 pm

jmcnrick

hi nef and stiddie

3:04 pm

Nef

hi waver.

3:04 pm

stidmama

hey jmc!

3:04 pm

Nef

thanks stid.

3:04 pm

Nef

Hey, jmc How are you?

3:04 pm

stidmama

I am down to 24 and am thinking (since the sun is out) I could spend a little time outside. I got 3/4 of the fencing up around my veggies yesterday!

3:05 pm

jmcnrick

pretty good as usual almost all the things that were fretting me turned out not to be true

3:05 pm

stidmama

jmc, I am glad I am not the only person who does that! ((hugs)) and the rest is manageable, yes?

3:05 pm

Nef

LOL, jmc! That's good news! :-)

3:06 pm

jmcnrick

mostly lol!

3:06 pm

Nef

stid, we don't put in our veggies here just yet. And if I fenced our garden, the squirrels could access it faster than us!

3:07 pm

stidmama

good for you then.

3:07 pm

jmcnrick

so i have a pretty glass award my board gave me sat. night

3:07 pm

stidmama

I don't have the veggies in, but there are something like 15 "volunteers" that could be melon, squash or cukes. I love the anticipation! LOL

3:07 pm

Nef

OOH! What for, jmc?

3:07 pm

jmcnrick

i planted some globe basil and three eggplants this morning

3:07 pm

stidmama

wow jmc! that's pretty cool -- are you going to put it in your profile?

3:07 pm

jmcnrick

for lasting 10 years lol!

3:08 pm

stidmama

ho ho! that is TOO funny, jmc!

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

that's an idea I will have to take a photo and it is clear glass

3:08 pm

stidmama

Tom has his 15 year award with the state... we are edging up toward 20 pretty quick!

3:08 pm

stidmama

put a color behind it? *strongly recommending pink*

3:09 pm

Nef

LOL! *I* received a letter from *my* board saying we didn't have enough $$$ so we have to cut hours for a while.

3:09 pm

stidmama

cr*p, Nef! that is the LAST thing you need *stern mama look at stupid-head board*

3:10 pm

stidmama

and you may quote me on that one...

3:11 pm

stidmama

*strongly recommending really ripe banana peels anonymously placed in board mailbox*

3:12 pm

stidmama

I just HATE the way the economy is punishing real people while fat rich people have to cut back by stalling the purchase of their next airplane...

3:14 pm

stidmama

bummer. I killed chat again.

3:14 pm

stidmama

well, down to 20 and the clouds are looming. Back later to finish if I can. *poof*

3:16 pm

Nef

sorry, DH called me away again.

3:18 pm

Nef

stid, our BOD are all volunteers. We're a non-profit and they are just regular people trying to get by too. Monetary donations are down; but we have many people donating goods and services.

3:18 pm

Nef

The problem is that goods and services don't pay bills or salaries.

3:19 pm

Nancy Boy

evening, all

3:19 pm

Nef

hi NB. How are you today?

3:20 pm

Nancy Boy

Not too bad, thanks, Nef! Glad to be home - completely exhausted after working all day :) how about you?

3:21 pm

Nef

hanging in there. Worrying about DH. (his MS is flaring)

3:21 pm

Merk

I'm back, but doing about the same as when I left hours ago. I'm no more enlightened.

3:22 pm

Nancy Boy

oh dear, Nef :/ is there anything that can be done to help ease it, or do you have to take it as it comes?

3:22 pm

Nancy Boy

Hiya, Merk :)

3:23 pm

Nef

We are waiting for the doctors to call. I have calls in to both his Internal med doc and his Neuro doc. And I keep trying to tie him down so he won't fall again (his legs aren't working today)

3:24 pm

Nef

hi Merk. I'm not enlightened either; but it isn't just Babble that's befuddling me

3:25 pm

Nancy Boy

What a shame - sure as a nurse you're doing all you can, though! ((Nef)) try and keep spirits up...I hope things will improve

3:25 pm

Nef

thanks

3:29 pm

Nef

(sorry, DH is trying to send an email about a meeting he's to go to and he can't read or see that he can't type right now)

3:30 pm

Merk

Yes, if Babble were the only place we were not enlightened, we would not have too many worries. It's the rest of life that keeps us bewildered.

3:30 pm

Merk

Clueless

3:31 pm

Merk

In the shadows

3:31 pm

Merk

Uncertain

3:31 pm

Nef

ALL of those, Merk

3:31 pm

Nancy Boy

No problem, Nef, DHs come first :)

3:32 pm

Merk

And probably more.

3:33 pm

Nef

(ARGGG! He's trying to send something in YaHoo mail and has it written in the "draft" section and I know nothing about PC's or YaHoo! He's making me OLD!!!)

3:36 pm

Nef

there are days when you have to laugh and sigh; you know? This is one of them

3:37 pm

Nancy Boy

I know 'em well, Nef ;) as I'm sure everyone does. I'm sure that's what sets us apart from other animals - rather than worrying about other animals eating us, we get problems like this instead...

3:38 pm

Nef

How's your Dad doing, NB?

3:39 pm

Nancy Boy

Pretty stable, docs tell me. They're letting him out soon, but he'll have to take it easy.

3:39 pm

Nancy Boy

thanks for asking :)

3:40 pm

Nef

Did you go see him?

3:41 pm

Nancy Boy

I did, yeah - explained the situation and the nurses did exactly as you'd guessed; they let me in to sit with him whilst he was asleep. In some weird way, that was better - I could stop disliking him, and just worry about him instead. Apparently that's a lot easier when people are asleep :)

3:44 pm

Nef

(((NB))) I'm so glad that you could see him. I hope that you can stop disliking him and rather understand that this is one part of him is his defect; and it isn't that he (or you!) are bad

3:45 pm

Nef

I hope you understand what I mean; it didn't come out right (sorry). We all are defective in some way; just because we are defective; we aren't bad people

3:47 pm

Nancy Boy

I got what you meant, Nef :) don't worry about that! I know you wouldn't have meant it any other way. It's sad, though, because I do want to be able to respect him, but I can't anymore :/

3:49 pm

Sudokuaddict

love is accepting people in spite of their faults

3:49 pm

Sudokuaddict

sorry had to put my two cents in

3:50 pm

amelu0218

whew! Not to interrupt, but FINALLY! FIREWORKS!

3:50 pm

Nancy Boy

no problem, it's a public chat :)

3:51 pm

Nancy Boy

interrupt away Amelu - I tend to hog the chat ;)

3:52 pm

amelu0218

LOL! Not so, NB! You would never be a chog hog!

3:53 pm

Nancy Boy

haha! maybe just a bit of a drama queen then...

3:55 pm

Nef

I've been trying to help DH again. Sorry. This is a public chat, so any input is okay. and YAY amelu for fireworks!!! WTG!!!

3:55 pm

amelu0218

Perhaps a smidge... as are we all, naturally! *wink*

3:59 pm

Nef

ARGGGG! Someone with the shakes shouldn't operate a computer mouse!!!!!!!!!!

4:01 pm

Merk

... and Fireworks!

4:01 pm

Nef

<praying: Lord give me patience, and I WANT IT RIGHT NOW!!!!>

4:02 pm

Nef

YAY, Merk!!!! WTG!!!

4:03 pm

amelu0218

K, almost time to run... anyone need clues?

4:03 pm

amelu0218

and thanks Nef!

4:04 pm

Nef

yw, amelu. HAGD!

4:07 pm

amelu0218

TYVM! See y'all tomorrow, God willing and the creek don't rise!!

4:09 pm

Nef

LOL! Bye, amelu

4:12 pm

Mom

only here for a minute ... hello everyone

4:13 pm

Mom

{{Nef}} I have to tell you my favorite saying .....
The Lord won't give you any more than you can handle... I just wish he didn't trust me so much.

4:13 pm

Nancy Boy

hah! good one, Mom :) I'm feeling that

4:14 pm

Mom

{{Nancy Boy}} I didn't realize your dad was sick. I am sorry

4:15 pm

Nef

I agree! HE trusts me more than I want! ;-)

4:15 pm

KatieMcG

evening all

4:15 pm

Nef

hi Mom and Katie

4:15 pm

Mom

{{{Katie}} good evening

4:16 pm

Nancy Boy

thanks, Mom :) I'm sorry too - wish he wasn't so stubborn so I could tell him myself

4:16 pm

jmcnrick

aarrrrghhhhh!

4:17 pm

Nef

Are you okay. jmc?

4:17 pm

KatieMcG

I remember someone telling me that when things were really bad for me and thinking that God was really overestimating me. Of course he wasn't but it felt like it at the time! Chin up NB you will get through it

4:17 pm

Nef

Or is there a pirate in the chog? ;-)

4:17 pm

Nancy Boy

Thanks Katie :) although I must admit I'm more worried about Jmc at the moment!

4:19 pm

Mom

It is amazing how strong we can be when we have to. Then we can collapse after it is all over

4:19 pm

Nef

WOw! Somehow I jut hit half way through this grid! AMAZing!

4:20 pm

Mom

that is wonderful Nef

4:21 pm

Nancy Boy

I do love the fact that everyone feels free to come here and talk about their problems.

4:21 pm

crosshair

back for a few more;)

4:21 pm

{{Crossy}} hello

4:21 pm

hi, Crossy!

ty nef

4:23 pm

Nancy Boy

actually, when I came online this evening, I was considering asking help from the group at large with writing a letter...guess it has to come from the heart though ;)

4:24 pm

Nef

what's your letter about, NB?

4:25 pm

Nef

If it's to your Dad; you do have to write it from your heart

4:25 pm

stidmama

Back again. ((Nancy Boy))

4:25 pm

Mom

Hi {{Stid}}

4:26 pm

Nancy Boy

oh, same as the others I guess - there's only so many ways to say 'I love you', 'I miss you' and 'please talk to me' ;) I was just wondering if anyone had any advice...something I might not have thought of

4:26 pm

Nancy Boy

Hi, Stid :):):)

4:27 pm

Nef

sorry I didn't respond before stid. I was off trying to help DH. Unfortunately, I can't get him off his computer and it got complicated

4:27 pm

stidmama

Kiddo, advice is free, and sometimes worth what you pay for it! But since you are asking, it may be that your father needs TIME to get used to the idea of you living with another man. A couple of months probably isn't long enough for him to calm down. Is your mother as upset?

4:27 pm

stidmama

If your mother is not as upset or has already sort of tried to stay in contact, you can ask her to let you know when it might be a good time to try again.

4:28 pm

Nef

"Dad, you are the most awesome person in my world and I miss you."

4:28 pm

stidmama

That's okay Nef, I figured things were happening over there.

4:29 pm

stidmama

Being a member of a family that has a habit of disowning people, I may be a little jaundiced, though -- "disowners" don't impress me and I refuse to give them power by playing their game.

4:29 pm

stidmama

but that's my family. your mileage may vary...

4:29 pm

Nef

My Dad disowned me when I was 16, NB. (I chose not to live with him and his new wife -she was just 11 yrs older than me). We reconnected when I was 21.

4:30 pm

Mom

excellent Stid, I too refuse to give my power to someone else

4:30 pm

stidmama

good for you Nef

4:31 pm

Nancy Boy

wow, Nef - five years is a long time. as Stid says, good for you :)

4:31 pm

Mom

{{Stid}} and {{Nef}} that is terrible

4:31 pm

Nef

Life is full of all sorts of bumps both high and low. Sometimes we can't tell the difference when we are facing a bump

4:32 pm

crosshair

nb,i am a dad of a 16 year old boy,he may drive me nuts,i may yell at him,i may not approve of some of the things he does,but i will always love him.remember both your dad and i once held our newborn sons in our arm with tears of joy in our eyes and nothing will change that.we changed our boys,watched them learn to walk,we were there when they took their first shaky trip on the first bike,kissed boo-boos on scraped knees.Do not misunderstand your father.I can almost guarantee that he loved you then and loves you still.He is from the old school and is confused is all and perhaps his boy is not all that he dreamed from when he first looked into your eyes in the delivery room long ago,but never doubt,there is always love...so my 2 cents is to go with that nb

4:32 pm

Nancy Boy

A habit, Stid? How upsetting :/ I'm so sorry - guess this is more common than I thought!

4:32 pm

stidmama

I think it's okay to share that my one of my grandparent's parents never spoke or wrote again once WWII began... a complete cut-off even after the war. It took 50 years to reconnect with overseas siblings.

4:32 pm

Mom

4:33 pm

stidmama

the grandchildren didn't know those people... overseas cousins are all but unknown (we know names but have only ever met one of them)

4:33 pm

Nef

Beautiful Crossy!

4:33 pm

Kazzer99

Evening all - does anyone know whats happening with Lickety?

4:33 pm

stidmama

Cross is such a softy!

4:33 pm

Mom

Hi Kazzer

4:33 pm

crosshair

just my ramblings nef

4:33 pm

stidmama

hey Kazzer, I don't know -- there is a list on BabAnon, I am told

4:34 pm

Mom

Hootowl has one in their profile

4:34 pm

Nef

hi Kazzer. I'm out of the loop myself re: Lickety

4:34 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh Crossy, that's a beautiful thing to say. Thanks - gives hope :) I guess I've just been pretty confused in the wake of finding out what he told our extended family about me - made me unsure of a whole lot of things..

4:34 pm

Kazzer99

I've seen that one - I just wondered if anything was wrong

4:34 pm

stidmama

Oh cross, and I am glad you are here. I told my Tom that I told you about Graham Kerr, and he wanted me to be clear to NOT read his "Galloping Gourmet" years... he was definitely NOT interested in healthy eating back then!

4:35 pm

crosshair

lol stid

4:35 pm

stidmama

Nancy Boy, is there a "PFLAG" type organization near you? (Parents Family and friends of Lesbians And Gays)

4:36 pm

Mom

I loved to watch the Galloping Gourmet

4:36 pm

Kazzer99

so did i - specially when it all went slightly wrong

4:36 pm

Nef

NB, just be patient. Five years isn't very long if you do the best that you can with your life during that time. Just keep growing and becoming the person you are

4:36 pm

stidmama

I ask, because in the local area, often kids who are in the same boat as you (and "kids" means anyone under 30) find good support there and practical ideas on when and whether to reach out

4:36 pm

Nancy Boy

I guess so, Stid - you're only a stone's throw away from anything and everything in London. But I think the last thing my parents will respond to is more gaiety...;)

4:37 pm

Nef

But YOU will find support there, NB

And I think Nef is on the right track and it fits with what Cross said: YOU are an amazing, wonderful person. You always have been, you always will be. The truth is, sometimes people let superficial things hide the beautiful things, and sometimes fear of the unknown prevents open hearts. You can't change them, but you can continue to be the wonderful young man you are.

4:38 pm

Nancy Boy

I know, Nef - it's good advice, if I could only stick to it. This heart stuff has shaken me. I'm scared he'll die before I get to tell him I love him :/

here our versions of pflag orginizations are almost all gone now.the need for them is over it seems,because it is no longer a big deal

4:39 pm

Nef

Did you find out what is going on with his heart? Did they explain it to you and tell you about it? (34 yrs. in CV-ICU experience here you know)

4:40 pm

stidmama

They are going strong in the states, cross -- and yet in the places that most need them they are scarce.

4:41 pm

crosshair

nb,get a few years on you and the pair of you should move here;))

4:41 pm

Nancy Boy

I only know that he had a heart attack, Nef. Wish I could get more information than that! My sister will keep me posted, hopefully

4:41 pm

Nef

And I bet you've told him you love him already, NB. I bet he knows that and is just having problems with *HIS* expectations of you.

4:42 pm

crosshair

what ole crossy said;0

4:42 pm

Nef

Is he still in the hospital, NB?

4:42 pm

*leaves choclits for all*

4:47 pm

advice gets easier and easier once you have made all the mistakes yourself(many times in my case) :))

4:56 pm

Nef

All we can do is tell our stories, crossy. As stid said, your milage may vary. I do find that I've come out the other side of some heart breaks a lot wiser, however

4:56 pm

crosshair

4:57 pm

4:59 pm

Nef

I like Joni Mitchell's words myself: I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose and still somehow,
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life, at all."

5:00 pm

crosshair

the only thing i know about life and women is that it has something to do with chocolate

5:00 pm

Nef

I would never want to be 18 again either

5:02 pm

Had to spend the weekend with my failing 105 year old father (went through Clermont, Brookie)--who had a sudden uptick between the time I left Atlanta and the time I arrived in FL, having baked several loaves of yeast bread and a chocolate cake.

6:52 pm

Jayk, did you go through Clermont FL?

6:53 pm

Hi Jayk, sorry to hear about your dad

6:54 pm

Mom

people who shout off the mountain tops to hear their voices come back to them

6:54 pm

Jayk, you know, I live in Clermont. I would have gotten you a cuppa coffee....
