1:22 am

rururocks

you are almost done.. go jilli

1:23 am

jillibus

ah, but I'm seeing a wall before me...

1:30 am

rururocks

haven't found any 8's yet

1:31 am

Barb's Horses

1:35 am

jillibus

I have ne8, ph8, pr8, re8

1:35 am

jillibus

but there are 2 more

1:35 am

Barb's Horses

wow go jilli

1:36 am

Barb's Horses

mom is still in hospital...the bleeding seems to have slowed by no answers why yet

1:36 am

Barb's Horses

*but

1:37 am

jillibus

barb, she's getting the best care possible, I'm sure.

1:38 am

Barb's Horses

she is I just hope they do the scope while she is in there...not release her and then try to do it as an outpatient....that would be so difficult to do....on so many levels

1:39 am

jillibus

I'm with you there, barb!

1:40 am

Barb's Horses

I haven't told my husband that the specialist is the one who tried to tell him he had nothing wrong and then it turned out to be cancer in his gallbladder...On the one hand I am sure she must be a good doctor but I feel leary about her

1:41 am

Barb's Horses

I don't want to "stir" the pot so to speak and as for another doctor

1:42 am

jillibus

whoa, it's important!

1:43 am

jillibus

I think you must have confidence in the doctor.

1:43 am

jillibus

You can ask for a second opinion.

1:44 am

Barb's Horses

pardon me...she was the one who insisted there was nothing wrong with him and he had double pnemonia...and full of gall bladder stones...when they removed the gall bladder they found cancer

1:45 am

jillibus

I meant you should have a doctor you have confidence it.

1:45 am

jillibus

*in

1:45 am

Barb's Horses

She seem to be really on the ball today...really asking lots of questions and I understand they don't want to put her to much but at the same time I think the only way to know if there is a real problem they have to do a scope and look in

1:46 am

Barb's Horses

Yes you are right Jill and maybe I am just over analysing things ...

1:47 am

Barb's Horses

can't type or spell tonight geesh

1:47 am

jillibus

There is such a thing as a virtual scope -- I had one.

1:47 am

Barb's Horses

tell me more .... never heard of that

1:48 am

jillibus

It's a special kind of cat scan.

1:49 am

Barb's Horses

maybe that is the scope they are talking about...but I can ask about that tomorrow

1:49 am

Andree

hi everyone

1:49 am

jillibus

I had one in the Duncan hospital, a virtual colonsocopy. It still needs the cleaning out.

1:50 am

jillibus

Hi andree.

1:50 am

Barb's Horses

hi andree

1:51 am

Barb's Horses

I can't see how she can have much left for cleaning out...but still would be so much better to do while she is in there thanks for telling me about it jilli I will ask tomorrow

1:52 am

jillibus

They may not have the machine there, barb.

1:52 am

Barb's Horses

well off to bed for me...can't keep my eyes open anymore

1:52 am

Barb's Horses

3:16 am

Douglas

I'd prefer to chalk it up to my autism (Asperger's), as opposed to a neurosis

3:16 am

rubyfoo

internet ordering is very annoying!

3:16 am

sprite

hm sounds reasonable to me

3:17 am

rubyfoo

I keep thinking I'm Asperger's , too, but my knowledgeable friends say "No!" resoundingly

3:18 am

sprite

people close to you should be able to tell if something like that was the matter, right?

3:18 am

rubyfoo

Max is autistic, but not, LOL, Asperger's!

3:19 am

anike

fireworks

3:19 am

rubyfoo

ya anike!

3:19 am

sprite

I think it is a tough thing to learn to live with

3:19 am

Douglas

Well, there's a lot more knowledge of Asperger's these days, a character on Boston Legal is an Aspie

3:20 am

rubyfoo

I can't remember ever hearing of it in my first 50 years!

3:20 am

sprite

that is true, and not just more medical knowledge, but more public knowledge too. Less people who go 'huh'.

3:20 am

samnz

mini NBL!

3:20 am

anike

I gotta go home so will catch you all tomorrow. Happy babbling

3:21 am

sprite

gratz samnz

3:21 am

sprite

bye anike and gratz

3:21 am

Douglas

Are you doing minimal nbt, samnz?

3:21 am

rubyfoo

but my vet was surprised when I diagnosed the dog. He shared all the symptoms with autistic children and I followed Temple Grandin's advice, put him on Prozac, and he's like a different dog. He makes eye contact now and seems to enjoy being touched.

3:22 am

samnz

Just completed min. nbt Douglas. Thought I'd try it out this time

3:22 am

rubyfoo

bye anike

3:22 am

samnz

This grid

3:22 am

sprite

how great, rubyfoo. Did you also try T-Touch, if that is the right name... the special touch for animals?

3:22 am

sprite

samnz is a fast learner

3:23 am

rubyfoo

I'm not sure of the official name, but I give Ruby a deep massage for 30-45 minutes each night

3:23 am

sprite

no it is a very light touch. Let me see if I can find it fast.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

they don't like light touches because they have so much fur; it just makes them twitch

3:24 am

Douglas

Yay samnz! mnbt is hereby a growing Babble trend! (Is that good?)

3:24 am

sprite

it is Tellington TTouch. It is light but does not make them twitch. It is spectacular.

3:25 am

sprite

of course that is good. The more games-inside-the-game the better.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

I'll look that up, sprite, now I have to try and place that order again which is makingME twitch. Could use some TTouch myself!

3:26 am

Douglas

I have three tiles where I have 1 word. All the rest have 2.

3:27 am

sprite

yes it works on humans too, grin. Go girl, and stop thinking, just blindtype the addresses. It is the only way with Welsh, grinnnnn.

3:27 am

samnz

Yea I guess that's the next step to mnbt Douglas, finding 2 for each tile

3:28 am

sprite

you could cycle around 4 full times today, samnz and Douglas.

3:28 am

sprite

oh no, only 3 times, sorry, I did not see the O

3:29 am

Douglas

The bottom e only has 2, so 2 is the maximum number of cycles for today, sprite

3:29 am

samnz

Do you mean cycle thru 22 times?

3:30 am

samnz

There will be as many cycles as it takes to complete the entire grid

3:30 am

sprite

no, 3 full times before you get tiles that are greyed out. And I should shut up, because now I see it is only 2 full times, the E only has 2 words.

3:30 am

sprite

Sorry, you are right, Douglas

3:30 am

Douglas

Well, I've never considered doing such a thing...until now, that is.

3:32 am

samnz

It would be so tempting to break the rule and add words as you notice them, regardless of whether a word has been found for that tile in the cycle that you're working on

3:32 am

sprite

Magpies, doves, crows and larks are having a fight in fr5 of my window.

3:32 am

samnz

Or you could just remember those words for the next cycle

3:33 am

samnz

It could work in theory lol

3:33 am

sprite

it wouldn't be my way of playing, for sure. I love the random typing words part the best.

3:33 am

Douglas

"Jim, you can't risk your life on a theory!!"

3:33 am

sprite

lol samnz, you could write them down for next cycle... but that would remove all doubt about the neurotic part.

3:34 am

samnz

Lol this is hardly a matter of life and death

3:34 am

redturtlehead

morning all. this cycling thing sounds a bit like the day I tried to save all my 4's for last Sprite, what a mess.

3:34 am

sprite

hi red! I can imagine :)

3:34 am

sprite

lol Douglas

3:35 am

redturtlehead

well, you were there.

3:35 am

sprite

oh that day! We had fun though :)

3:36 am

sprite

the problem is, as soon as you tell yourself to skip the 4s, all you see are 4s. It is like not thinking about the blue elephant in the yellow custard.

3:36 am

Douglas

Down to 2 tiles with only 1 word

3:36 am

redturtlehead

yes, totally and then even if you see longer words.. you end up forgetting all the 4's you saw.

3:37 am

sprite

go Douglas!

3:38 am

sprite

I couldn't play that way, I swear. As soon as I have seen a word, I think I have entered it and forget it. Most days, my last words are words I already entered, but probably mistyped. Cannot see them for the life of me.

3:38 am

Douglas

Just grayed the bottom e, down to 1 tile with 1 word...remembering words found for future reference

3:41 am

samnz

I have two 1/s remaining

3:42 am

Douglas

What are your two 1's, samnz?

3:43 am

samnz

The E and the R in the middle column

3:44 am

Douglas

Do you have the Greek letters?

3:44 am

sprite

and all of a sudden I am thinking... shall I go for TTouch practitioner and make that my new occupation? I feel I will be up to that, handicaps or not.

3:44 am

Douglas

Ooh, ooh, what o's do you have, samnz?

3:44 am

sprite

I could en5 in that course

3:45 am

samnz

I dont think so

3:45 am

Douglas

An American would spell that one with 6 letters, sprite

3:46 am

sprite

yeah, that is true. Still, it might help samnz find it, I hope

3:46 am

samnz

Oh ty sprite

3:47 am

samnz

lol it is how we spell it here, but I originally looked at it and dismissed it because I thought it needed the e on the end

3:48 am

Douglas

That's one of the odd things about Babble, that letters from non-English alphabets are words

3:50 am

Douglas

Whoo-hoo! 2 words from every tile!

3:51 am

samnz

NTB2 ?

3:51 am

samnz

... No Tiles Below 2

3:52 am

sandyloo

hi guys

3:52 am

sprite

I would say mnbt2

3:52 am

sprite

hi sandyloo! *hugs* How are thing?

3:52 am

samnz

Hmm

3:52 am

Douglas

The only problem with that is that people will mix up nbt with ntb#

3:52 am

samnz

Hey Sandy

3:53 am

sprite

that should have read things*

3:53 am

lynxxx

evening all - this looks like another tough one

3:53 am

Douglas

Hello sandy! There's something happening here, but what it is ain't exactly clear

3:53 am

sprite

lyn, it isn't. Very friendly. Nothing compared to the last 2 grids.

3:54 am

lynxxx

oh good - though I do like the hard ones

3:54 am

rubyfoo

there's a man with a gun over there,

3:54 am

Douglas

Are you ok with mnbt#, samnz?

3:54 am

sandyloo

hi sam and all, and Sprite: Bruce is feeling better, Nicky is being good and Diana is about to arrive for a short visit from Broome- the sun is shining and all's well with the world- how are you?

3:54 am

rubyfoo

you're telling me, you'd better take care, you gotta stop, look around,

3:54 am

sandyloo

I love that song - hi doug and ruby

3:55 am

sprite

yes I do too. Yesterday's was interesting! Not exactly tough, but it had some words I really couldn't find without help.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

hi sandy

3:55 am

samnz

Yea I'm ok with any of them

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I found yesterday's the hardest yet, I don't know why, maybe there's too much going on here

3:55 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby

3:55 am

rubyfoo

If you can imagine I just went out and did some weeding, better than placing that miserable order on the interet!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxxxx!

3:56 am

samnz

But at the moment I'm not play minimally because I have lots of other words. But I'm still trying to get nbt2

3:56 am

sprite

I am fine, sandy! So clearly on the right track at last. Even contemplating a new education... learning a new job. Tellington TTouch practitioner. What do you think about that!

3:56 am

sprite

lol rubyfoo

3:56 am

sandyloo

you will have to 'tell' me what that is!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

will you make house calls, Sprite, this could be a paid field trip to France!!!

3:57 am

Douglas

I then hereby declare that I have reached mnbt2, the state where I have exactly two words from every tile that has any words available

3:57 am

sprite

I will, rubyfoo, for sure!

3:58 am

sprite

sandy: it is a very special way of touching animals, it is amazing.

3:58 am

sandyloo

Sprite, what is a tellington touch practitioner

3:58 am

samnz

Aha! You're well on your way to minimal fireworks!

3:58 am

rubyfoo

the garden looks wonderful although I am not winning the war of the weeds. I picked the peonies which had collapses from the rain, so I have many in the garden and some in a vase on the deck

3:58 am

Douglas

I take it you're still working on the r, samnz?

3:58 am

rubyfoo

maybe that's firework!

3:58 am

sprite

http://www.lindatellington-jones.com/

3:58 am

sandyloo

oh sorry i was too quick- we have a girl who comes and does the horses using a tecnique called 'Bowens' and has a human practice as well

3:58 am

samnz

Yea, it says there are 8 of them but I have no idea what the other 7 could be

3:59 am

sprite

samnz, do you have the 'manual' to make a certain food?

3:59 am

samnz

ty sprite

4:00 am

sprite

that is the site of the person who developed it. It is really really amazing. I know a little bit of it, and even I get results with the most stubborn, scared or crazy animals.

4:00 am

FishFishGarden

there is a phantom orange in this grid that is doing my heid in!

4:00 am

samnz

I have a r6 to make a steamed microwave pudding in 3 minutes. Mmmmmmm

4:00 am

rubyfoo

looking for nbt, I just got an ne7 and an ne8!

4:00 am

sandyloo

Sprite, I will look that up later but a job sounds awsome and a new challenge is always good

4:01 am

Douglas

Should you change your mind and stop doing naughty things?

4:01 am

sprite

Fish2, hello, and I suggest feeding it to the orangutan that is also not here.

4:01 am

samnz

nbt2!

4:01 am

sandyloo

hmmm, there a lot of ways to answer that doug!

4:01 am

rubyfoo

I love this grid!

4:02 am

sprite

I will never stop doing naughty things. Only possible answer ;)

4:02 am

sprite

good, samnz!

4:02 am

sandyloo

hmmmm

4:02 am

sandyloo

farl

4:02 am

sandyloo

s

4:02 am

sandyloo

whoops sorry

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I've forgotten how to be naughty :(

4:03 am

sandyloo

I haven't ruby

4:03 am

sprite

sandy, I think we will email about it! I am all energised just by thinking about it. I have sent a couple of emails about learning TTouch, basic course.

4:03 am

sprite

no you haven't, rubyfoo.

4:04 am

sandyloo

i'm sure Ruby hasn't

4:04 am

samnz

Aha, and found another r6. To r6 one's sins.

4:04 am

sprite

wtg samnz

4:04 am

rubyfoo

you gals have great confidence in me!

4:04 am

samnz

Or perhaps to r6 for ones sins.

4:04 am

sprite

that is the word Douglas clued :)

4:05 am

sprite

if you knew once, rubyfoo, you know now. All that is preventing it from coming out is fear. If you really feel you don't know how anymore, try being a tiny bit naughty in secret. Today.

4:05 am

Douglas

I'm working on getting 3 words from each tile... "This...this is madness!" "THIS...IS...SPARTA!!!"

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I need a left-hand o for nbt

4:05 am

sprite

hehehe Douglas :)

4:06 am

sandyloo

LOL Sprite obviously is completely naughty

4:06 am

rubyfoo

not fear, sprite, just fatigue! lol

4:06 am

Douglas

It was in yesterday's grid, ruby

4:06 am

lynxxx

O, the same as the word in yesterdays grid

4:06 am

sprite

I certainly am ;)

4:06 am

rubyfoo

I probably didn't get it then, either

4:06 am

sprite

rubyfoo: decorated

4:06 am

samnz

Yea but it started in the bottom right corner yesterday

4:06 am

sprite

yes lyn :)

4:06 am

rubyfoo

aaah, thank you all

4:08 am

Douglas

Didn't expect the other or6 to be a word, thought it was a proper name

4:08 am

sandyloo

thanks doug

4:09 am

sprite

it is a proper name, but as 4th definition it says:
( often lowercase ) mystic; oracular

4:09 am

samnz

the O6 that would make an M7 if it started with an M?

4:10 am

sprite

it would

4:10 am

samnz

Ha! I've never seen oracle used in that sense before

4:11 am

samnz

Oracular. Sounds like Dracula

4:11 am

Douglas

Well, I learned something

4:12 am

sprite

so did I. Always so happy when grids teach me something new. And they do most days.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

ooh, just got a surprise 7! yay

4:13 am

sprite

lovely :)

4:14 am

rubyfoo

and another! what a friendly grid

4:14 am

samnz

I just located a 6 and a 7! ;-)

4:14 am

sprite

don't forget to try for plurals

4:14 am

rubyfoo

but I didn't get the second o (proper noun one)

4:15 am

sandyloo

that o reminds me of an opera where the o person goes to the underworld

4:15 am

Douglas

I hear there's pho in the PB... nom nom nom

4:16 am

sprite

good clue, sandy!

4:16 am

rubyfoo

great clue, sandy, but I still don't have it duh

4:16 am

samnz

Thanks Douglas

4:16 am

sandyloo

O and the underworld

4:16 am

rubyfoo

favorite movie, though

4:17 am

sprite

he goes in to get his beloved back, and he is allowed to, provided he does NOT look back. Of course, he looks back.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I love that movie; know all the dialogue even though it's in Portuguese

4:18 am

Christine

And, Ssprite, did you ever see the film "Black Orpheus"? Set in Rio, beautiful people, and beautiful music.

4:19 am

sprite

no I didn't! Thanks, will make sure I do.

4:19 am

samnz

Or that musical Annie, about the orphan

4:20 am

sandyloo

back soon

4:20 am

sprite

bye sandy, will email you soon

4:20 am

rubyfoo

that's the movie, Christine!

4:20 am

rubyfoo

it even still makes me dance when I hear the soundtrack!

4:21 am

Christine

Gets in your head, and stays there all day.

4:22 am

Christine

Only piece I could play (albeit badly) on the guitar.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I'll bet I've seen it a dozen times

4:24 am

rubyfoo

my son can play all the themes and I can dance to them (not in fron tof him LOL) like that little girl at the end

4:24 am

Christine

It was one of few films I saw with my husband.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

yay, half, now I can go make lunch!

4:27 am

sprite

enjoy lunch, rubyfoo

4:28 am

samnz

Mmm, I'm nearly at half too. Then I can go have a smoke, then make some pancakes with caramelized bananas for dessert!

4:28 am

rubyfoo

ty sprite. Is it hot there?

4:28 am

sprite

did he enjoy it too, Christine?

4:28 am

sprite

good grief samnz, don't make me drool all over the keyboard please.

4:28 am

sprite

no, we have rain, rain, rain and even some rain.

4:29 am

Christine

He enjoyed the guitar music, the film didn't do much for him - except for Dawn Rae Cong.

4:29 am

Christine

Chong.

4:29 am

Douglas

I only have 2 words from the c and the 4th column e. I have 3 words from all the other tiles, except the southern e, of course

4:29 am

sprite

will try and hire the DVD.

4:30 am

sprite

good job, Douglas!

4:30 am

Douglas

She's in the grid, you know

4:30 am

samnz

I have 16 for the C, but only 2 for your E as well

4:30 am

Christine

Who??

4:30 am

sprite

silly enough, she is not valid

4:30 am

sandyloo

im back

4:30 am

rubyfoo

did you mention rain? hahah We need some but I think they're predicting storms which will wreck my lovely roses and nascent tomatoes!

4:31 am

Douglas

Rae Dawn Chong, that's who

4:31 am

sprite

Douglas and samnz, there are 3 resounding words

4:32 am

rubyfoo

Is she in Black Orpheus? I think she's too young

4:32 am

sprite

yup, lots of strong winds too. And quite a thunderstorm 2 days ago. Needless to say, I am sooo ready for summer.

4:32 am

Christine

Ooops, I think I transposed her first names.

4:32 am

samnz

Oh ty sprite, I only had two of them

4:32 am

Christine

She was in the film. She's the daughter of the Cheeech & Chong comedian.

4:33 am

samnz

Haha awesome

4:33 am

rubyfoo

did you see Tin Cup with Chong (or was it Cheech?)

4:34 am

samnz

78, over half way, pancakes time. (Sorry again sprite but mmmm pancakes)

4:34 am

rubyfoo

4:35 am

rubyfoo

Douglas

Douglas

Ooh, ooh, never mind, sprite

6:06 am

Jayk

Nono--what is first letter after re?

6:07 am

NonoNanette

6:08 am

rubyfoo

6:08 am

sandyloo

LOL I hope you know that song

6:08 am

rubyfoo

??? sandy, that is outside my experience!

6:08 am

Jayk

Of course I do not!

6:08 am

sandyloo

LOL its an old childhood song

6:09 am

rubyfoo

that's what happens when childhoods are spent on opposite sides of the world!

6:09 am

sandyloo

6:11 am

rubyfoo

6:12 am

sandyloo

Ruby, I have no doubt but it wouldn't be fair to others who are really wanting to get into 'the business'

6:12 am

sandyloo

6:14 am

rubyfoo

and if I did such a thing, people would throw their computers in the trash!

6:15 am

sandyloo

6:17 am

rubyfoo

I'll try, but haven't even been able to change my icon without help. Sallycat tried to help me (again!) but I just can't seem to do it. My DIL did it in a snap, but she went back to the US. I wanted to put the peonies up for you, Sandy! I have a great pic from last spring

6:18 am

sandyloo

I cant change my icon at the moment , i have a new computor which is not quite doing what i want but we can live in hope

6:18 am

6:19 am

rubyfoo

6:19 am

sandyloo

Im good with emails but I cant attatch things with this computor yet but i can open them

6:23 am

rubyfoo

7:41 am

herinfernallady

7:41 am

littlebit

it's fairly easy herin

7:42 am

7:43 am

herinfernallady

Eva have you looked at the idea of hiring a school orchastra?

7:44 am

EvaNadine

yes. its just slightly annoying when he is just realizing (and thus somewhat lecturing me) facts i knew months ago. about how we need to start making our lunches and not eat out and save up some money...yadayadayada...

9:59 am

Judi

Hiya, Nef.

9:59 am

crosshair

lol i will remember ata

9:59 am

Strider

I do consignments of books. That works well. Stock does not move as quickly as with big retailers tho.

9:59 am

Judi

Best of luck on the opening, Crossy. Make a bajillion dollars. Build a house of bacon.

Nef

Hi all - I sell on Biblio right now, but have been thinking about doing a web site. Strider - do you find you get a lot of hits on yours?

10:04 am

crosshair

howdy peabody

10:04 am

Strider

I put pics on the web site so I can refer people there. Not too many hits. I use paypal as my checkout. I like Biblio a lot

10:04 am

peabody

Hi crossy

10:04 am

crosshair

see? everyone is doing books:))

10:05 am

Strider

The best part is saving books that would otherwise get thrown away. Plus books I buy to read I can now sell too.

10:05 am

Atalante

I should do, I've got so many I need to get rid of

10:05 am

peabody

I like Biblio too - it's been the best experience of selling on line that I have had. It's been slow the past 2 months.

10:06 am

Nef

I think it would be nice if all the people here that have various online businesses would mention them in their profiles. It would be great to "know" that if I wanted to order something, I *know* that businessperson.

10:06 am

Strider

Good idea Nef.

10:06 am

crosshair

im doing a bot of an angle with mine though.hardcovers only.i believe as e-books gain in popularity,the softcover /throwaway type of book will diminish,while hardcovers will become a rare treat, a nice present for someone who has a fav e-book and wants a hard copy for presentation...just my long range thoughts

10:07 am

crosshair

great idea nef!!

10:07 am

peabody

You're right Nef, I just went in and looked at Strider's and am impressed! I'd rather buy from someone here than someone I don't know.

10:08 am

Nef

thanks. :-)

10:08 am

Strider

thanks for looking peabody - we also do discounts

10:09 am

Nef

I guess I missed your link, Strider. Could you please list it again?

10:09 am

crosshair

strider can you post that url once more please?

10:09 am

crosshair

10:10 am

I have over 30,000 books and I have read a lot of good books from the 20s and 30s that I would never have seen. See word of mouth is the best advertising - already two people going in to look!

10:12 am

crosshair

Nef

I used to work with a guy who was a rare book collector. I have a complete set of 8 volumes of Shakespeare from the late 1800's and the covers are deteriorated leather. The kids brought them home from the rash in the alley when they were about 5 and 8 years old; *someday* I hope to have them re-bound.

10:15 am

sandrafrances

pe 6-21 french father is not off but?

10:15 am

Strider

Binders are costly

10:15 am

crosshair

very nice nef,there are some really good binding services out there now

10:16 am

Nef

Anyway, my old co-worker couldn't find this set anywhere in his on-line sites. the pictures are of famous actors of the times dressed in high-Victorian costumes; it's really a cool find.

10:16 am

crosshair

but like striders says,be prepared to pay up

10:17 am

lbdawger

10:17 am

sandrafrances

any clue for no 6-27 please

10:17 am

Nef

yeah. I haven't found any that I can afford (kids are now 28 and 31). I've thought of taking classes and hoping to connect with some serious binders that way

10:17 am

Nef

hi lbd and sandra

10:17 am

Atalante

or any old Elinor Brent-Dyer books!

10:18 am

crosshair

rule of thumb with rare book binding is to get the best you can afford

10:18 am

lbdawger

no6.27 like skim milk, without the good stuff.

10:19 am

crosshair

and keep the recipt with the book;))

10:20 am

Nef

10:20 am

10:20 am

lbdawger

10:20 am

Nef

I know that these should have some good binders, that's why I haven't done this (expensive) project yet.

10:20 am

10:24 am

strider has a nice store,but it would be nice to have the author listed along with the titles

10:24 am

lbdawger

how's DH doing, nef?

10:25 am

sandrafrances

Bye all

10:25 am

crosshair

tc sandra

10:25 am

Nef

okay, crossy. I need some info here. *IF* I can ever afford to have new bindings on these 8 books; I shold keep the receipt in the books so that I can prove I did it and the cost of it?

10:25 am

lbdawger

bye sandra

10:26 am

crosshair

yes,because it creates provenance,and will increase the value on them later on(for your great grand kids) most likely

10:27 am

Nef

DH is right now waiting for the Speech Therapist to come (at 10AM, he said!) and has OT assessment at 1PM. I guess (from what I was told, anyway by both his Aunt and himself) that the PT had made an impression with him not to be stupid and try to do things he shouldn't

10:27 am

crosshair

a little note on when and where they were originally found is also nice

10:28 am

lbdawger

good for the PT!! it's hard to get that information through to the patient, especially when you're related!

10:28 am

Nef

Crossy, I should write that they were found by the kids, in the trash, down the alley back in the '80's? ;-)

10:28 am

crosshair

lol,well,thats not the most romantic find lol

10:29 am

crosshair

im sure you can spice it up

10:29 am

Nef

lbd, she told him that with 14 falls in 1 month he was one of the lucky few without a broken bone and that any breaks would put him in hosp. and rehab for months. She got his attention all right!

10:29 am

lbdawger

one man's trash is another's treasure, and you got a miraculous find!

10:30 am

Nef

I'd like to do another search on them sometime; when I have the time to do it!

10:30 am

crosshair

for example,if you find a book in an old toilet in a basement of a demolished house you can say"the tome was recently unearthed in a forgotten underground chamber hidden in a old victorian manor" lol

10:31 am

Nef

LOL!

10:31 am

Nef

When my kids brought them home, they were so upset that someone threw BOOKS out! I taught them at a young age that books are sacred!

10:32 am

crosshair

i actually have EVERY book i have ever bought since the age of 14 lol

10:32 am

crosshair

many are now held together with elastic band lol

10:33 am

crosshair

even though the glue and binding are gone,i just cannot throw them away

10:33 am

Nef

I hope you are only talking about hard covers, crossy (visualizing basement, porches and rooms stacked floor to ceilings, like a hoarder's house)

10:34 am

crosshair

about 100 softcovers are in serious condition;((

10:34 am

crosshair

6 book shelves@ 1-200 each so not quite hoarding lol

10:35 am

crosshair

the best novels eventually get replaced by hard covers

10:35 am

Nef

okay. Maybe (if they are on the outside walls of the house) they serve as added insulation?

10:35 am

crosshair

now you are talking!!

10:36 am

Nancy Boy

Hello, both of you :) this is starting to sound like my CD collection..

10:53 am

stevedallas

Just finished Galileo Dreams what a weird book

10:54 am

lbdawger

the last library book i borrowed was written in by some rude person. It made me so mad, i swore never to borrow from a library again...at least not leisure reading.

10:54 am

crosshair

all babblers will get discounts

10:54 am

Nancy Boy

I doubt he'll ever find out, Nef....it's not like he's just dying to get in contact with me. Obviously, my surname is staying the same in case my family ever do want to track me down, but I'm just taking the English name that they gave me when we moved here.

10:54 am

Atalante

just finished Inverted World by Chris Priest. Just *amazing*

10:56 am

crosshair

and i found out my 1987 edition is a first edtition copy

10:57 am

NB, then that isn't as much of a change as I'd imagined. I've had some clients who were tied up in paperwork and legal stuff for months after surname changes, though

10:57 am

11:07 am

Nef

I'm not too big a fan of plain old fiction, but I enjoy biographies and autobiographies and I do like Sci-fi in the winter and mysteries in the summer. I can't figure out why I like the different types of fiction in the different seasons, though.

11:08 am

Nef

guernsey, you didn't kill chat; I was IN the grid and just looked up

11:08 am

guernseygirl

11:09 am

1:02 pm

m9f9l

read the help at the top of the page and that should help you

1:03 pm

m9f9l

I have 30 words.. average 4.5 letters 309 points.

1:03 pm

m9f9l

ah... see it!

1:04 pm

crosshair

it grows on you:))

1:04 pm

m9f9l

ok.. that's what i thought . it's boggle essentially

1:04 pm

Riverdance

scroll to the bottom and click on licketys babble clues in the center column - it will give you the list of words and their point values

1:05 pm

m9f9l

it didn't explain the stats boxes.?

1:05 pm

Riverdance

direction I think are under angelsong's babble page

1:06 pm

Ormal

tile stats are how many words start with each tile in the grid. Word stats let you know how many words in this grid are x numbers long. When the boxes are greyed out, you're done with that box.

1:07 pm

m9f9l

ah! cool. thank you

1:07 pm

1:11 pm

crosshair

if you put too many words in chat instead of the add word box you may get sent to the insidious,evil,dreaded penalty box

1:11 pm

Boobear

yes cross is right but then you get set treats while in the penalty box

1:11 pm

Riverdance

I dont know crossy - I find it very comfortable there - the wine is mostly chilled and always fresh coffee in the morning - lol

1:12 pm

1:15 pm

Atalante

aha lots of non-brits here. Can I ask you some questions from a poll I'm doing in FB? Just a quicky I promise ...

1:15 pm

Atalante

This is part of a big debate a friend and I are having about attitudes in the US vs UK ...
1) Did you know that BP isn't actually called British Petroleum any more?
2) Did you know that BP merged with Amoco a while ago? (It was then called BP Amoco)
3) What other oil companies can you name?

1:16 pm

crosshair

the stragest place was in a public phone booth ata...oh not that poll...sorry

1:17 pm

1:18 pm

crosshair

i can name 15 or so if i sent mym mind to it lol

1:18 pm

EvaNadine

crossy? lowering the tone?
very out of character...

1:18 pm

Atalante

ty Eva! we're just being fascinated about things we all know / don't know in different countries. Pretty much everyone here would remember the BP Amoco merger.

1:18 pm

crosshair

what?? gasp!!

1:19 pm

Soodle

Actually, I want to hear more about the public phone booth episode.....

1:19 pm

EvaNadine

i knew they merged, but i guess i never really thought about the company changing names...

1:19 pm

Riverdance

I'll second that

1:19 pm

crosshair

we do not as much as the bp name along with gulf was merged here long ago and the brands vanised from the streets

1:19 pm

m9f9l

there are TEN words starting with L??

1:19 pm

EvaNadine

all of our amoco stations turned into BP stations.

1:19 pm

Atalante

cos you guys still have Amoco brand gas stations don't you?

1:19 pm

crosshair

texaco,white rose,kaluka,

1:19 pm

Atalante

or obviously not :D

1:20 pm

Riverdance

yes there are m9

1:20 pm

EvaNadine

i think there are still some with the amoco name, but all the ones in my area have turned into BP. no amoco name anywhere, just BP.

1:20 pm

Boobear

no amco here.

1:20 pm

Anniebrook

1:20 pm

Riverdance

keep looking

1:21 pm

m9f9l

we have an old Texaco star

1:21 pm

Atalante

but if an amoco station suddenly turned into a bp station, wouldn't you think that amoco might have taken over by BP?

1:21 pm

crosshair

we used to have a lot of gulf stations in the 70,s

1:21 pm

Riverdance

I never cared about the texaco star - I wanted the Marlboro Man

1:21 pm

m9f9l

LOL!!!

1:21 pm

Riverdance

no - because we have stations that change from one to another all the time

1:22 pm

crosshair

remember ata we can spoon around brand names llike ice cream

1:22 pm

EvaNadine

hard for me to say, since i was already a little familiar with the bp brand.

1:22 pm

doesnt mean it was a buy out

1:22 pm

crosshair

i had a station that was a sunnys,a noco and a sunnoco all in ten years lol

1:22 pm

Soodle

Crosshair! The phone booth story.............

1:22 pm

EvaNadine

i would probably think the station was sold to BP if i didnt know anything else...

1:22 pm

Atalante

hmmm. why would they change if the companies didn't merge or whatever? they don't do that here!!

1:22 pm

Riverdance

Irving has come in big over the last several years and taken over many stations - they didnt buy out the brand just the property

1:23 pm

Boobear

hmm clue for pe 7 please

1:23 pm

EvaNadine

sometimes gas stations get bought + sold. depending if its a franchise or whatever...

1:23 pm

Atalante

oh yes, I suppose they do play around more with service stations don't they

1:23 pm

crosshair

we "buy" brand names and when that happens we get the station retrofitted then we have to commit to that fuel for a specified time

1:23 pm

Riverdance

pe7 - pe4/5 + years

1:24 pm

Atalante

and are gas stations the only way you'd really hear about oil companies? do they ever talk about them on the news?

1:24 pm

Riverdance

pe4/5 + how old you are (pl)

1:24 pm

EvaNadine

exactly. i would assume the property was sold, not the company.

1:25 pm

Hi Boo

1:25 pm

Atalante

I don't think our gas stations swap round so much. I can't remember ever seeing one that just changed, apart from company takeovers etc

1:26 pm

Riverdance

I only watch a local news station - not national so dont hear about that stuff unless something huge happens like this spill in the gulf

1:26 pm

Buttonman

Can someone help me with the er4 please

1:26 pm

crosshair

it is a tight go here ata,we a fighting and clawing to survive being swallowed up by the majours so we often swap brands every 5 years or so

1:27 pm

Riverdance

er 4 - sounds like the short guy on sesame street - one less vowel

1:27 pm

Riverdance

you know er** and burt

1:27 pm

Buttonman

I don't watch sesame street

1:27 pm

Atalante

I think we just don't have the local markets, most of our gas stations are owned by the majors anyway!

1:28 pm

m9f9l

what does er stand for?

1:28 pm

Buttonman

1:31 pm

Riverdance

1:32 pm

crosshair

what a major will do is sell gas at margin for 6 months or so the break the back of a independant , because they have 450 other stations and just absorb it.once the independant is gone they revert to regular magins

1:32 pm

crosshair

damn typos

Portulaca - we call that Moss Roses here in Colorado - pretty hardy and great for container gardens or ground cover!

2:58 pm

Nef

this is good weeding weather; I took some stuff out to the compost pile earlier and pulled some weeds as I went out.

2:58 pm

SeaSpray

Ok, I will call them moss roses then lol

2:58 pm

bichon

I love Portulace. Grows in really hot, dry places

2:58 pm

m9f9l

2:58 pm

SeaSpray

Cad I have a bartender coming from Denver to tend bar at my daughters wedding

2:59 pm

SeaSpray

2:59 pm

Nef

3:00 pm

m9f9l

69

3:00 pm

m9f9l

lol

3:01 pm

Nef

I wish they grew under trees. We have a maple tree that always looks bare under it. We're trying to grow hostas there , but even some of those don't seem to care for all of the shade there

3:02 pm

Nef

You're doing better than me then; I have 76 left

3:02 pm

peabody

Nef - try blue mrytle they love shade

3:02 pm

SeaSpray

hmmm, I though hostas did well in shade

3:02 pm

m9f9l

nother box

3:02 pm

SeaSpray

is that a type of hosta peabody?

3:03 pm

peabody

I think its related to ivy of some kind. It grows in the woods here - it spreads like wildfire, has a small blue or white flower and the leaves are a deep green and shiny

3:03 pm

Nef

thanks, peabody. I didn't realize that periwinkle was a shade plant

3:03 pm

peabody

They stay real low to the ground, even when you mow they don't get cut.

3:03 pm

SeaSpray

ahhh, like vinca vine then

3:05 pm

Nef

hostas DO do well in shade, SeaSpray. It's just some of the 7 types we're tryng to grow there aren't doing well (and one small delicate type seems to be a favorite of the rabbits and squirrels!

3:05 pm

m9f9l

nother box

3:05 pm

Nancy Boy

how do you ever learn/remember all this? I couldn't keep a weed alive...

3:06 pm

dcseain

foxes love hostas too.

3:06 pm

SeaSpray

I have 2 hosta gardens behind my house and the slugs seem to love them, I got a head start on them this year though

3:06 pm

CadFan

Where is the wedding?

3:06 pm

SeaSpray

Maryland Cad, on my parents farm

3:07 pm

stidmama

hello all!

3:07 pm

SeaSpray

they do dc? how odd

3:07 pm

CadFan

SO is this Bartender a family friend to come all that way?

3:07 pm

Nef

we have a weed called creeping Charley under our lilac bushes that is impossible to kill off. I told DH to stop fighting it and let it go; but he really wants to get it out of our yard. I wonder if the periwinlke is like that?

3:07 pm

SeaSpray

Hi stiddie

3:07 pm

Nancy Boy

hi, Stid! :)

3:07 pm

dcseain

yeah, friend has fox den under shed, and the hostas are taking a grand toll

3:08 pm

Nef

hi stid! Welcome to the chog!

3:08 pm

stidmama

periwinkle (vinca spp) can be very much like creeping charlie and creeping jenny

3:08 pm

SeaSpray

Yes cad, His mom is my friend and she brainstormed this one, he gets to visit his Dad and Mom while he is here and see lots of old friends so it will be fun

3:08 pm

Nef

dc, there are gray fox and red fox within a mile of our house, but so far I haven't seen them in the yard yet

3:09 pm

stidmama

who's tending bar? *wonders if asking for a virgin daiquiri is out of the question (like everything but the booze)
*

3:09 pm

stidmama

how's this grid?

3:09 pm

CadFan

Oh - nice!

3:09 pm

Nef

nice grid, stid.

3:09 pm

m9f9l

help with ca 5/12??

3:10 pm

meliae

have you tried geraniums under your maple? there are some types that love shade, and you get the double bonus of nice foliage as well as pretty flowers

3:10 pm

CadFan

We get Creeping Charlie but it isn't a big problem - the big problem and darn near impossible kill is Wild Morning Glory (aka Bindweed)

3:10 pm

stidmama

good. *dives in*

3:10 pm

fuquayvarina

a boat that you paddle, m9

3:10 pm

CadFan

ca 5/12 - a type of boar

3:10 pm

CadFan

boat not boar....

3:10 pm

meliae

ca 5/12 a boat invented by indians

3:10 pm

SeaSpray

Stid I was telling Cad that I have a bartender coming from Denver to tend bar at daughters wedding (btw his brother is a news producer in Denver)

3:10 pm

m9f9l

oh duh!!!

3:10 pm

m9f9l

ty

3:10 pm

stidmama

thanks for the birchbark boat

3:10 pm

Nef

Hmmm. if I could convince DH that periwinkle is a FLOWER and not a weed, it would work then! I may just try it! :-)

3:11 pm

stidmama

what fun, Sea! nice to have friends with "skillz"

3:11 pm

meliae

do not forget the plural M9

3:11 pm

Nancy Boy

*inches daiquiri towards Stid*

3:11 pm

stidmama

:-D in many areas, Nef, periwinkle is sold as a groundcover. It works well for some people. All of mine died... *sigh*

3:11 pm

CadFan

Oh Periwinkle is a GREAT flower!

3:11 pm

m9f9l

I didn't meliae!!LOL

3:11 pm

fuquayvarina

other ca 5/12 is a piece of music, like Pachelbel's ca5

3:11 pm

SeaSpray

ok, puppy dog is whining to go outside...bbl

3:12 pm

stidmama

3:12 pm

stidmama

3:16 pm

meliae

when in doubt Stiddy on the 7 letter words add an na mans name to the end and plural for the 8's

3:16 pm

stidmama

hm. thanks mel!

3:16 pm

dcseain

Pachabel's Ca5 in D is a nightmare to perform, speaking as a violist.

3:16 pm

bichon

I don't have such high standards, stid, or such great abilities ggg>

3:17 pm

meliae

and a plural of how many years old you are, lol

3:17 pm

stidmama

LOL bichon! for shame! *tries to make stern mama look but fails*

3:17 pm

stidmama

it may be difficult, but it is GORGEOUS.

3:17 pm

stidmama

how old I am? *thinking*

3:18 pm

CadFan

Oneof my favorite pieces - that Pachbel

Nancy Boy

I've only ever attempted it on guitar...which is FUN.

3:19 pm

stidmama

WOO-HOO! and your hints helped, mel! I have my first 8!

3:19 pm

stidmama

didn't know you were musical, nancy boy!

3:19 pm

CadFan

Played violin - it had weird bow work required...

3:21 pm

Nancy Boy

oh yes Stid ;) had to leave my electric guitar behind when I left though - couldn't have dragged that, plus amps, AND the acoustic!

3:21 pm

m9f9l

the co's are gettin' me.

3:22 pm

stidmama

bummer, Nancy Boy. Our stidkid #2 bought an electric-acoustic guitar from a friend this year, LOVES it (but still prefers my old acoustic 6 string steel)

3:22 pm

Nancy Boy

and I had to leave the piano too...;)

3:23 pm

stidmama

we have a piano, needs tuning. But I am waiting on the tuning until after I rearrange the living room (again) I keep trying to find a way to make our house feel less small.

3:23 pm

Nef

3:23 pm

SeaSpray

I can envision NB huffing down the street with piano strapped to his back

3:23 pm

stidmama

*pic of Nancy Boy reclining on piano strumming the guitar while Leo pushes piano and carries amp...*

3:24 pm

dcseain

he lies! the violas pluck 3 16th notes for each quarter note the cellists play. 54 f'n times. we practiced picking up our bows for the final note. gah!

3:24 pm

stidmama

AGH. that's harsh, seain! no wonder you cringe at that one.

3:25 pm

Nef

I love YOUR image better than mine, stid!

3:25 pm

jacq

hello everybody

3:25 pm

Nancy Boy

Oooh. I vote for Stid's scenario ;) and I didn't know you were musical either, Stid!

3:25 pm

stidmama

rofl Nancy Boy! only instrument I couldn't play first time was clarinet... but I am a vocalist (when I have a voice)

3:25 pm

stidmama

hey jac!

3:26 pm

jacq

heya mama, NB, nef et al

3:26 pm

Nancy Boy

hiya, Jac!

3:26 pm

jacq

not liking this grid a lot

3:26 pm

Nef

hi jaq

3:26 pm

stidmama

but stidkid#2 plays WELL on every instrument he picks up. And really "gets" the music at a deeper level than I ever could.

3:26 pm

Nef

jacq

3:27 pm

stidmama

ooh! I just passed halfway!

3:27 pm

jacq

jac is fine nef, i get called jake by my friends

3:27 pm

Nancy Boy

3:27 pm

jacq

lol NB

3:27 pm

SeaSpray

the hills are alive...

3:28 pm

stidmama

two stidkids. and now old enough to not be cute. BUT... when you join us, we'll make a family band. Tom can sing, and he's a great sound man...

3:28 pm

jacq

i got all the c's and didn't even realise lol!!!

3:28 pm

jacq

*does a happy dance*

3:28 pm

stidmama

go jac go!!!!!

3:28 pm

Nef

don't you just *hate* that stid? I took clarinet lessons for 4 years; and my cousin picked it up once and could play it better than me in 20 minutes than I could after 4 years! She's phenominal: plays nearly any instrument there is

3:28 pm

Nancy Boy

"old enough to not be cute" cracked me up!!

3:29 pm

stidmama

I don't mind it Nef, maybe it means he'll be self-supporting... ??? *wishful mama look*

3:29 pm

m9f9l

got the c box~!

3:29 pm

jacq

they stop being cute when they answer back i was told, but my grandkids are 2 and 3 and are as cute as buttons and answer back all the time

3:29 pm

jacq

wtg M9

3:30 pm

Nef

yaym0! Keep on keeping on and you'll be done soon!

3:30 pm

stidmama

3:30 pm

stidmama

go m go!

3:31 pm

stidmama

falcon isn't in the grid and folcan doesn't count... :-D

3:32 pm

jacq

remember one of them lives with me lol, my morning alarm call is heyyo gwanny at ungodly hours

3:32 pm

stidmama

oh my jac! LOL that's too funny -- just when you thought your mornings might be your own???

3:32 pm

jacq

but it's so cute

3:33 pm

stidmama

yes, I do admit to missing the tiptoeing feet coming alongside and the steady gaze fixing my face until I can't ignore it and have to open my eyes.

3:33 pm

jacq

mornings?? lol if she wakes during the night she demands that gwanny tuck her in and last night she was on my bed at 1 am demanding a drink because mum forgot to close the gate

3:33 pm

Nancy Boy

get a cat...that's how Lola wakes me up! Minus the voice. She's a staaaaring cat.

3:33 pm

stidmama

rofl... SO glad it's not me...

3:34 pm

jacq

i love it, i wou8ld rather have her all day and night than her mum (my daughter) and her dad, it's like the opposite of little house on the prairie

3:35 pm

jacq

and...

3:35 pm

jacq

all this weekend from tomorrow morning i have the three year old all to myself to spoil

3:36 pm

stidmama

ooooh! what a great time you will have! I am happy to hear that.

3:36 pm

jacq

we are going beach-combing and we are painting and picnics

3:37 pm

SeaSpray

that sounds wonderful jac

3:37 pm

stidmama

well, my appointment for this afternoon has been switched to 3:20... giving me some extra time to babble (and do housework, which I will now start since I have time after all)_

3:38 pm

stidmama

*raises hand timidly* may I be your grand-daughter too??? I'm only 10 (or so) *points to age in profile*

3:38 pm

SeaSpray

slog

3:38 pm

SeaSpray

sorry, u can beat me now

3:38 pm

jacq

sure mama, do you like baking? we're making cakes too

3:38 pm

stidmama

oooooh. I LOVE to bake! *packs apron and rolling pin and fancy sprinkles for on top of cake*

3:39 pm

jacq

age is just a number, it's what's inside (and how good the arthritus pills are) that counts

3:39 pm

jacq

why would we beat you?

3:40 pm

stidmama

true enough there... I think as I get older I get younger for play. When I was a young mother I had too many worries to be fun.

3:40 pm

meliae

want to have fun with g-kids? buy a white cake mix and after you mix it up separate it into 3 or more bowls let them color each part then make a swirl cake, ditto for the frosting, it might look like the 60's but my g-kids love making them!

3:40 pm

stidmama

Sea, you're fine!

3:40 pm

SeaSpray

typed a non word in the grid jac

3:40 pm

hi red. He's doing better each day; mostly in starting to understand that he does have restrictions

5:39 pm

Nef

PT and OT have been out to the house already; I *think* that Speech therapist comes tomorrow (he doesn't remember who it is

5:43 pm

redturtlehead

nice to have him home with you? I'm sure.

5:45 pm

Nef

I have 5 of the 6 H words and can't find the last one. I have ho4, ho5, ho7, ho 4, ho4. What am I missing? (I could go to lickety, but have to go get the car ina couple of minutes. By NOT going to lickety I won't get too zoned in here)

5:46 pm

ho4/7

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

i only have the 3 ho 4's sorry nef! go to car!

5:46 pm

brid

there's two ho4's before the ho5

5:46 pm

Nef

It's wonderful to have him home, red. However the cat had a lesson today about her tail and the wheelchair! She's now missing a bit of fur on one side of it

5:47 pm

Nef

Thanks, brid! :-)

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

Oh poor kitty! I am sure kitty will steer clear from now on!

5:51 pm

Nef

I hope so. She's steered clear of it since and she's been acting kind of miffed since her owner (my daughter) got home from work

5:53 pm

Nef

I don't think her tail actually got under the wheel, just the fur. She let me pick her up and pet her the whole length of her tail and didn't react

5:56 pm

Nef

brid, I *JUST* got that ho 4/7! I should shut up and work the grid I guess! :-/

5:56 pm

brid

5:59 pm

Nothing wrong with talking.

6:00 pm

Nef

I just chat A LOT! ;-)

6:00 pm

brid

you have to make you for the rest of us. who forget to chat.

6:01 pm

Nef

Maybe if I wasn't hogging the chog more would chat?

6:02 pm

brid

hmmm....probably not. After all, i rarely say two words and you've gotten me to say TONS.

6:06 pm

brid

i'd stay and say more, but my timer is going off. And one really should not ignore the timer. The phone, the doorbell, actual people. Sure. but not the timer. That can have serious dire consequences.

6:06 pm

brid

cya. gla!

6:06 pm

Nef

YAY! BTW, you've been here longer than I have and I don't think I've ever seen you in chat before! (love your icon)

6:11 pm

Nef

Dang! I'd typed that in the wrong box and by the time I got it in chat; she left! :-(

6:12 pm

Nef

BBL, time to go get the car

This is the first babe for our youngest son. I was out on the golf course when she arrived -- hubby says our son sounded so proud. Feeling a lot of empathy for mom though -- she is just a little bit of a thing and the baby weighed over 8 pounds!

7:28 pm

herinfernallady

WOW Nan even Dozen. Harry Babies can be 2 weeks early or late. I think they get so comfy in there that they don't want to say hello

7:29 pm

8:39 pm

herinfernallady

I did that plastic bag booties for the snow. Didn't work

8:40 pm

8:43 pm

herinfernallady

LB No I need to stay away from the cold horrid stuff

8:43 pm

welki

confused me too, first times i heard hydro used instead of electricity ... it's that ontario thing, when your electric is water-generated

8:43 pm

lbdawger

and you heading into winter, Herin.

8:43 pm

welki

<-- is a firestarter extraordinaire

8:44 pm

8:44 pm

does he fish?

8:44 pm

herinfernallady

LB we don't have snow

8:45 pm

lbdawger

my idea of roughing it is a motel 6

8:45 pm

lbdawger

yes, he loves to fish, he loves to be outdoors

8:45 pm

welki

some are pretty rough, lb ... i'd venture saying you'd be more comfy in some of the campsites

8:45 pm

herinfernallady

My idea of Roughing it is a 5 star hotel

8:46 pm

lbdawger

campsite maybe with a plush cabin with indoor plumbing!

8:46 pm

welki

i luxury camp these days. i deserve it, i've earned the right ... did the backpack tent, the family tent, the tent trailer, the crappy trailer, the decent trailer and motorhome. it's like a camping ladder

8:47 pm

herinfernallady

Welki that is great I never thought of it like that

8:47 pm

lbdawger

he says we could get a poptent camper, i say, are you nuts?

8:48 pm

welki

we laugh at ourselves all the time ... remembering freezing our tushies off in the two man tent, water frozen in the morning ... and now, i have a/c

8:48 pm

lbdawger

lol, yup you deserve the luxery

8:48 pm

After eating a very yummy ta4/5 dinner I started to babble.It took me ag4/6 to finish the grid,even with my no 4/4 to this grid with no distractions, but I did so here's a story of clues. I used to want a career as a zoo keeper,but then I did not feel like cleaning out animal ca 5/16 for the rest of my life so I re 7/36 my career path. So I lo 6/21d a college that was not far from home & I en5/10ed in it.When I walked through the ga 5/14 of the campus I was so nervous because it was my first time living away from home. At first I felt all alo4/4 and I was a lo 5/10. But it did not take lo 4/6 for me to make friends.I soon discovered a lot of my pe 4/5s had the same interests I. I ch 5/14 to study education & psychology.However, I was to4/4 between majoring in either education or psychology So I ch5/14 to major in one & minor in the other. My co4/5 curriculum of studies was education,but I also had a minor in Psychology in ca 4/5 I could not get a job as a teacher.College was not ea4/6 for me.I was never an ho 5/12 student. It wasn't my fo4/14 looks that got me through college. It was endless nights of studying. I had great pr4/8s that guided me as well. As fa 4/7 would have it, I did get a job as a teacher. I am glad that I have a good job because college was not fr4/7 and I have loans to pay. Now I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and go eat some ch 4/6s & dip on the so 4/7 and watch "General Hosptial".Goodnite

9:07 pm

welki

all it is, dawg, is a toilet seat on a five gallon bucket ... you can put a couple of hefty bags in as liners (cleaner)

9:08 pm

welki

they're great for fishing, ice fishing ... and you don't feel like william tell, trying to aim

9:09 pm

welki

Hello meliae! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:18 pm

meliae

Just finished dinner and thought I would pop in and see if anyone needed any clues

9:19 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Melai

9:19 pm

herinfernallady

Meliae. That is why you go to 5 stars where all that is done.

9:22 pm

9:26 pm

meliae

Hello all =)

9:26 pm

herinfernallady

I am hoping I can convince the b.f to drive me to the store

9:26 pm

meliae

my niece works at a 5 star and they do not wash the bedspreads after every stay lol

9:27 pm

herinfernallady

They do here if you pay $500 a night

9:27 pm

meliae

But I do get awesome discounts when I stay there

9:29 pm

meliae

back when I was married there was a teeny tiny motel on the coast, owned by an older couple, they washed everything on the beds and the rooms smelled so fresh and clean, it was shabby but spotless and you could not beat their prices with a stick

9:30 pm

lbdawger

i think little ma/pa places like that are more likely to be cleaner than the franchised places.

9:30 pm

meliae

I was sad to see the last time I went by there, that there motel had been torn down and I think a Best western was built in that place

9:31 pm

lbdawger

that is sad. but the competition was probably brutal for them to keep up

9:32 pm

meliae

I think it was more repairs and they were just too old to keep it up, I just hope they got a great price for the land and are happily retired somewhere

9:35 pm

10:55 pm

Pinikula

10:56 pm

Jillyjill

good for you nef, did a 10 hour stint today; sometimes it's a pretty thankless and frustrating job. I think that patient ratios are much needed

10:56 pm

Pinikula

hmmm...working on it, m9!

10:56 pm

Nef

We shall see. The thing is that nurses haven't told their stories of unsafe staffing and now they are

10:57 pm

Jillyjill

10:57 pm

10:59 pm

Nef

Jilly, I think that the hospitals are trying to break the nursing unions now; so I felt compelled to go walk the line again. My daughter joined me; she was out on a picket line in 1984 when she was 2 years old with me too! :-D

10:59 pm
