sandyloo

looking forward to tonight ruby and seeing the country around you

2:03 am

jillibus

thanks, sandy, but I now have a cloud -- guess you need to refresh!

2:03 am

rubyfoo

I hope that Lance keeps riding and chatting with the other riders. I don't think he's a quitter.....

2:03 am

sandyloo

Cant believe my change of icon has appeared - miracles do happen

2:04 am

sandyloo

Ruby , he says he knows he won't win but will enjoy the rest of the tour and will help his team

2:06 am

rubyfoo

have you noticed the difference between him and Contador where whichever rider is next to him, French or not, has an animated conversation? And Contador never talks to anybody except his buddy Novel

2:07 am

sandyloo

I don't want Contador to win , but he has such a good team and the only person Cadel seems to have is Frank Hencappe (can't spell it)

2:08 am

sandyloo

I felt very sorry for Lance though - he had such bad luck

2:08 am

rubyfoo

I though Schleck looked good on Sunday, but there's something a little strange about the blankness of his eyes....

2:09 am

rubyfoo

I love this grid!

2:09 am

sandyloo

LOL

2:25 am

sandyloo

2:26 am

jillibus

hu4/7 isn't a real word, bah!

melonheadjujube

aegis

2:30 am

jillibus

I have a little plaque we got in Pennsylvania Dutch country which says "Outen the lights", but enable says "outen" isn't a word, but hu4/7 is -- phooey.

2:30 am

melonheadjujube

PB for me! no jelly!

2:30 am

jillibus

thanks, melon

2:31 am

rubyfoo

2:31 am

melonheadjujube

In Indiana they "hotten up the coffee" according to my late gramma Gert.

2:31 am

rubyfoo

I can't imagine what the hu4 is.....

2:32 am

jillibus

it's just a grunt

2:32 am

rubyfoo

thank you, sounds like me standing up!

2:34 am

sandyloo

I haven't found it but I am grunting in many different ways

2:35 am

2:36 am

jillibus

I'm slow -- still 157 left

2:37 am

sandyloo

not a bad grid but some strange words in there

2:37 am

jillibus

2:37 am

sandyloo

we are all slow compared to Gremlin, jill

2:38 am

melonheadjujube

2:39 am

sandyloo

2:40 am

sandyloo

you better pedal faster ruby

2:40 am

rubyfoo

legs are still tired from Sunday!

2:40 am

rubyfoo

and then kicking that ball around.....

2:41 am

sandyloo

I am going to be exhausted tonight - its a big mountain stage I think?

2:41 am

sandyloo

and it is near you , right?

2:41 am

rubyfoo

yes, but you can come here afterwards....very restful house!

2:43 am

sandyloo

We could have wine and dissect the tour. What fun!

2:43 am

sandyloo

what time is it there for you Ruby, 3.43pm here

2:43 am

rubyfoo

what time will you watch it? so I don't comment and spoil your fun since I see it live

2:44 am

rubyfoo

9:43AM

2:44 am

sandyloo

I think we see it live - it starts at 8pm

2:44 am

sandyloo

what time does it start there for you

2:44 am

rubyfoo

so 6 hrs difference -- doing the math hahah It is over here at around 5:30PM, so 11:30 for you

2:45 am

rubyfoo

we get live coverage from about 2PM until 5:30, some days a little more

2:46 am

sandyloo

so that means we do see it live too

2:46 am

sandyloo

usually starts when they have about 120 kms to go

2:46 am

rubyfoo

that's nice! My son's wife (in Austin TX) tapes it and then watches during the next day

2:47 am

sandyloo

I do that too, as you know but last stage I stayed up

2:47 am

rubyfoo

you commentary is in English, though, n'est-ce pas? So who does the countryside commentary?

2:48 am

sandyloo

I love the mountain stages and oui! il est en Englais

2:48 am

jillibus

over halfway :)

2:48 am

sandyloo

Phill ligget is one and I love him and others - Matthew Keenan among them

2:49 am

rubyfoo

it is a wonderful French lesson for me but one of the commentators is very sick with cancer. Last year he was having chemo and had no hair, but this year, he only does the interesting days and has hardly any voice. It is really sad, but nice that they keep him on and are so loyal.

2:49 am

sandyloo

Jill you must be bored with all this tour talk - do you like it?

2:49 am

rubyfoo

sorry jill, we sports fans must be a pain!!

2:49 am

sandyloo

c'est terrible, Ruby

2:50 am

rubyfoo

so you have French; I'm impressed!

2:50 am

jillibus

don't mind it -- and I'm pretty much buried in the gird anyway -- carry on!

2:50 am

sandyloo

lol seulement un peu

2:50 am

jillibus

*grid

2:51 am

rubyfoo

I keep trying outen for your sake jilli. Maybe if we enter it enough, we'll convince enable!

2:51 am

jillibus

2:51 am

rubyfoo

or girded in the grid

2:51 am

jillibus

are you talking abut the tour de Fance?

2:51 am

sandyloo

yes we are , we both enjoy it

2:51 am

jillibus

and that was lol, ruby. Obviously bedtime.

2:52 am

rubyfoo

yes, we are both fans with disinterested husbands. And here, women absolutely hate it!

2:52 am

jillibus

de France, as you know I mean.

2:52 am

rubyfoo

my French girlfriends think I am nuts!

2:53 am

jillibus

There's a Canadian doing well in the tour -- big surprise. I think he's from BC.

2:53 am

sandyloo

I thought everyone in France loved it

2:53 am

rubyfoo

hejesdal or something

2:53 am

sandyloo

I would love to see a canadian do well

2:53 am

rubyfoo

no, they mostly think it's boring

2:53 am

jillibus

you mean uninterested. You would prefer a disinterested judge to an uninterested one.

2:54 am

rubyfoo

I have to check, but he may be on an American team, maybe HTC Columbia, but my tour book is 2 flights away!

2:54 am

rubyfoo

*my command of English is slipping*

2:56 am

jillibus

Yes, Ryder Hesjedal

2:56 am

jillibus

lots of people say disinterested when they mean uninterested. Big difference!

2:57 am

rubyfoo

appropriate first name!

2:57 am

rubyfoo

I will root for him! but my favorite name is Wesley something or other from Flowery Gully, Australia

2:57 am

sandyloo

we had a butcher call Mr Butcher

2:57 am

rubyfoo

one more for half.....

2:57 am

jillibus

Yes! And he's a local boy, from Victoria (I'm just checking the sports section of the paper).

2:58 am

rubyfoo

2:58 am

rubyfoo

Woodman, Tinman, Sawyer, etc

2:59 am

rubyfoo

4:45 am

Nancy Boy

Ooh, happy birthday, Sandy!
And yes, thanks George!! It was nice getting online to see messages like that - I managed to sprain my ankle falling off a table (oops) so they all cheered me up no end ;)

4:45 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

4:46 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

4:46 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

4:46 am

Nancy Boy

I know, right! Best birthday present I ever got - a set of crutches and an ankle brace from A&E ;)

4:47 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I hope you got something better than that?!?

4:47 am

sandyloo

that is not good, hope you are better

4:47 am

Nancy Boy

Sandy...no comment...maybe a little bit ;)

4:47 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I've signed on, don't see ya though?

4:48 am

Nancy Boy

Yeah thanks ;) kind of a long story actually, but lots of my friends got together to get me a trip to South Korea - so I get to tell my relatives that I'm actually, y'know, alive. So I'm scared to death and totally excited!

4:48 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

we play this acro game, some of my m8's and I, where you take a word and expand it like it's an acronym

4:48 am

herinfernallady

*NB on the grounds you may incriminate yourself?

4:48 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

and that reminds me of the best I came up with in our games of that, which was............

4:48 am

FishFishGarden

like Acrophobia?

4:48 am

FishFishGarden

used to play that non-stop when I first got online

4:48 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

LAMPSHADE: Lightcover, although maybe party style hat, after drunken excess!

4:49 am

Nancy Boy

I would George, but if I get on msn now I'll be there for hours, and really I'm just waiting for Frank to finish washing his hair ;)

4:49 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, that's it exactly, m8!! lots of fun!

4:49 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

we play it in messenger chats, have some laughs!

4:49 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

you know, you can converence, several people in one window on MSN and that.........

4:49 am

Nancy Boy

LOL! Well no lampshades for me...not this time, anyway...

4:50 am

Nancy Boy

I'm sure I'd humiliate myself terribly if I played any kind of wordgame with you and the others ;)

4:50 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, I see Jesse, don't see you on much! could be cos I've been here, there and everywhere else lately!!

4:50 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

that's a really nice photo of ya, Jesse

4:51 am

Nancy Boy

yeah, I'm not around much either! Working really antisocial hours recently, so usually when I get online there's nobody there...

4:52 am

Nancy Boy

Hey, thanks! Friend of ours edited for me, for some reason when it was taken it was bleached of all colour...I deserve technicolour ;)

4:52 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah? I keep some odd hours somtimes, but if I sign on and see no one I want to chat with online, I sign off again, which probably doesn't help, ha!

4:52 am

Nancy Boy

Haha! Patience is a virtue you know :P

4:53 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I stay invisible and just go off again, or else I'm bombarded with messages, should take some people off there!!

4:53 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

patience is fine, for those who have time for it!

4:54 am

Nancy Boy

Oh fiiiinally. Right, his lordship is now finished in the shower, which means I'd better get myself in there. It's no joke on crutches!! But lovely to see you here, and hopefully I'll see you around soon :) xx

4:54 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah I bet not, what about the bandaging??

4:54 am

sandyloo

5:30 am

hydra

Hi NB! So sorry to hear about your ankle. I've damaged a ligament in mine and am sitting with an ice pack on it. Hope you'll be better soon.

5:32 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

He's gone off, hydra, having a shower and whatnot!

5:32 am

hydra

Oh dear, I missed him!

5:32 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

Yeah, I'll pass it on to him though!

5:41 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

7:47 am

Nancy Boy

Hm, only an hour late - doubt you're still around, but sorry George! The cats totally distracted me; they're just too adorable...and then I had to master grocery shopping on crutches ;)

7:47 am

JBV

crutches? what's the report from London, NB? what happened?

7:48 am

JBV

and good morning, everyone

7:48 am

Nancy Boy

Hi, JBV :) oh, it's so embarrassing...I topped off my birthday celebrations by, errr, falling off a table and tearing a couple of ligaments in my ankle.

7:49 am

SeaSpray

I thought I told you to be safe NB?

7:49 am

JBV

um, not sure what to say, hope it was worth it? so sorry about your ankle, tho

7:51 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Sea, I'm just an accident waiting to happen...
and thanks, JBV :) it's alright, the kitties are scared of the crutches, though!

7:51 am

SeaSpray

do you have to go to therapy?

7:54 am

Jayk

Morning everyone! Yikes, NB! And when do you go to Korea?

7:54 am

Nancy Boy

therapy? nahh, just an ankle brace and some crutches, though I think they're just slowing me down, honestly ;)

7:55 am

Nancy Boy

Mornin', Jay :) end of August, I'm off. So, so excited/scared!

7:55 am

Jayk

it's a HUGE trip for you. will you tell people you're coming or just appear?

7:56 am

Jayk

and what LOVELY friends you have!

7:57 am

Nancy Boy

oh I know Jay, isn't it great of them?! I burst into tears. What a baby :P as for telling them I'm coming, as far as they know, I'm dead, so I guess I'll just have to show up - not sure if they'd believe me otherwise!

7:57 am

Jayk

how long will you be there?

7:58 am

JBV

NB, i'm wishing you a wonderful trip - I'm sure it will be very emotional. It will be amazing no matter what.

7:58 am

EvaNadine

*runs back into chog*
NB!!!!!

7:58 am

Jayk

hunh

7:59 am

Jayk

sorry!

7:59 am

Nancy Boy

Just a week, Jay - if they accept me, then I can visit again; if they don't, I wouldn't want to be there any longer!

7:59 am

Nancy Boy

Eva!! I thought I'd missed you :)

8:00 am

Nancy Boy

oh, thank you, JBV :) yeah, whatever happens, there'll be tears for sure...mostly from me, I'll be honest ;)

8:01 am

JBV

NB, I'm crying over a family reunion and I wasn't even there ! My brother just reunited with family we haven't seen in YEARS ! - so many stories to catch up on

8:01 am

EvaNadine

oh, how nerve-wracking and exciting all at the same time!

8:02 am

Nancy Boy

JBV, that's awesome! So happy your family has been reunited like that, what a great story!

8:02 am

Nancy Boy

Oh man Eva, depending on the hour, I'm both madly excited and completely terrifed.

8:02 am

JBV

NB, the story's in my profile, so I don't have to bore everyone, but I am so wrapped up in it, it's wonderful

8:03 am

EvaNadine

you will have to scour korea for some lovely orange courts for me. ;)

8:04 am

Nancy Boy

JBV, that story is far from boring. That's so sweet and inspiring!! So happy for you :)

8:04 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Eva, I will do my best ;)

8:05 am

Judi

Good morning, all. Geesh. It's all about the shoes with you! ;-)

8:06 am

Nancy Boy

Morning, Judi :)

8:06 am

Nancy Boy

Maybe it's the right idea though...I may put updates in my profile instead, just so I don't clog the chog!

8:07 am

EvaNadine

oh, how i wish i could curl up inside your luggage and go with you... ive never been to asia!

8:07 am

Judi

S'okay, NB. We probably have a plumber in the ranks. We have just about every profession represented in Babble land.

8:08 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

hello, you here now Jesse?

8:08 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

just tweetingi a bit again, and trying to finish this

8:13 am

Nancy Boy

Yes, I'm here now! :) just 'enjoying' some patchy connection..

8:14 am

Nancy Boy

You'd hate it, Eva...August there is like, the height of the rainy/humid season. You step off the plane and into what feels like a hot, wet flannel..

8:14 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh, yeah, your not om messy?

8:15 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

or on, rather, ha! can't type for toffee

8:15 am

Nancy Boy

Just trying to coax it into signing me in at the moment...technology tends to fall apart in my hands

8:16 am

EvaNadine

NB, sounds like DC. ;)
though, we finally got some rain here and the temps have gone down a bit. only 90 degrees today...heh

8:17 am

Atalante

hello hello :)

8:18 am

JBV

hello Ata

8:19 am

Atalante

george, your mango pineapple tart thing looks amazing

8:19 am

Judi

Hello, Ata!

8:20 am

Nancy Boy

DC, but with monsoon rain ;) ooh, I can check the weather there now..ahhh, a rainy 32C in Seoul right now...

8:20 am

Kallia

does anyone know how to remove spirit dyes from skin?

8:21 am

EvaNadine

does anyone know how to un-skrink a dress that shrank in last nights wash? :/

8:22 am

Kallia

why the sarcastic remark?

8:22 am

Atalante

buy a new one!

8:22 am

Judi

What are spirit dyes?

8:22 am

EvaNadine

it IS a new one. :/

8:23 am

Atalante

take it back if it wasn't your fault it shrunk

8:23 am

Nancy Boy

hmmm, Kallia. Has scrubbing and praying not worked? I think they should be soluble in meths, right, but you may not wanna put that on your skin...

8:23 am

Kallia

they are wood dyes, which I'm using to dye metal, they are brightly coloured..and a bottle popped and went every where

8:24 am

EvaNadine

im fairly certain i washed it on cold. cold is supposed to not shrink stuff, right?

8:24 am

Judi

Hmm. Lemon juice? Peroxide?

8:24 am

Kallia

yep meths helps but really don't want much on my skin...guess it will have to wear off

8:24 am

Judi

Eva - did you put it in the dryer?

8:24 am

Mom

Oh Kallia, that is awful. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

8:24 am

Mom

Good morning everyone

8:25 am

Judi

Hiya, Mom!

8:25 am

Kallia

well I frightened other half, it was bright red I was using

8:25 am

Mom

Hi Judi

8:25 am

Kallia

bloodbath!

8:25 am

EvaNadine

yes. :/ i put everything in the dryer + nothing else shrank. just that one.

8:25 am

Atalante

white spirit? turps?

8:25 am

Mom

I can only imagine Kallia

8:25 am

Judi

Dryer is where stuff shrinks. Bummer.

8:26 am

Nancy Boy

lol, Kallia! Did that once with red paint in an art class...hours of fun.

8:26 am

Kallia

meths is what you dilute it with, but I may try some neat turps later...at least on my hands

8:26 am

Mom

Eva, look at the tag and see if it might have to be line dried

8:26 am

Atalante

but still, if it doesn't say "no tumble drying", I'd take it back

8:26 am

EvaNadine

kallia -- do they have Goo Gone in your hardware stores over there? i have used that to get all sorts of stuff off of skin.

8:27 am

Kallia

eva I'm sorry for my thoughtless remark, I trhought you were taking the p....

8:27 am

Kallia

never heard of it...will go look thank you.

8:27 am

Mom

if it says you can put it in the dryer, I would take Ata's suggestion and return it

8:27 am

Judi

Goo Gone rocks! I love that stuff. And it doesn't have any nasty chems in it.

8:27 am

EvaNadine

s'ok kallia. chog timing sometimes makes things seem other than what they are...

8:28 am

EvaNadine

will have a look at the tag tonight. guess i should have read it before washing. :/

8:28 am

Atalante

*facepalm* Eva!

8:28 am

Kallia

ah Amazon UK has it.....I will go search see if it is sold at any of the hardware chains....

8:29 am

EvaNadine

i never read tags unless the fabric seems like something special. this was a little cotton number from target...

8:29 am

Atalante

well there's a lesson for you!!

8:30 am

Judi

*smug* Just found the 10.

8:31 am

EvaNadine

i could still make it work with tights or leggins, but its now too short for work. if i cant exchange it, its now stuck as a weekend dress.

8:31 am

Atalante

yay judi!

8:31 am

Atalante

at least you can still wear it though!

8:33 am

EvaNadine

hrm. the website says line dry. :/ im gonna guess the label does too...

8:34 am

EvaNadine

thought it was cotton. website says rayon.
stupid man-made fabrics.

8:35 am

Atalante

gah!

8:36 am

Kallia

seems to only be available on line.....I've ordered some, seems pretty useful stuff to have around, thanks Eva

8:36 am

EvaNadine

YW kallia

8:37 am

EvaNadine

so, maybe i could try washing it again and hanging it to dry.... maybe it will stretch out??
*wishful thinking*

8:37 am

lynxxx

Try wetting it thoroughly and line drying it Eva - it may unshrink

8:37 am

Kallia

Hang it up dripping so that the weight of the water may stretch it

8:37 am

Judi

Take it to drycleaner's. Maybe they can stretch it. Some do offer that service.

8:42 am

EvaNadine

*pokes NB to see if he is still conscious*

8:45 am

Atalante

obviously not lol

8:45 am

Nancy Boy

sorry, Eva ;) chatting to George, navigating stairs...crutches make me twice as busy!

8:46 am

Mom

EvaNadine

9:56 am

redturtlehead

9:56 am

Dorens

oh regular crickets might, but not cave crickets, red... several inches large... not good luck at all!

10:39 am

FMitch

10:39 am

m9f9l

hey fm

10:39 am

m9f9l

10:40 am

FMitch

10:42 am

FMitch

I hav a hair appt in the morning just a treat for a wash and blowdry, the prices are so much cheaper here than where I used to live.

10:43 am

m9f9l

folks were ag6/27 at the idea of a 55 cut, what were they where you lived before?

10:43 am

m9f9l

oh.. and what's the exchange rate now? about even?

10:44 am

FMitch

wash and blow dry now is Â£12 rather than Â£20 and when cut is now Â£20 rather than Â£35.

10:44 am

FMitch

Don't know re exchange you will have to google it.

10:45 am

sprite

wow that is better than he4.

10:46 am

FMitch

Haz you public holiday today - is that part of the marching season?

10:48 am

FMitch

Go m9! :)

10:48 am

m9f9l

and...*pouffe*

10:50 am

Haz1558

FM, yes, part of the July holiday - means I have to work!

10:50 am

sprite

why is that, Haz? Do you step in when personel is off?

10:51 am

Haz1558

Yes, when surgery is closed, phone lines are put through to vet's house for emergency calls.

10:51 am

FMitch

Work!! whatever next. The news coverage has been umm interesting as it is every m season but seems a tad more volatile this year. Or is that just the ange the media are giving it?

10:51 am

Haz1558

Phone...

10:52 am

FMitch

A vets wife's life is never a dull one spritey.

10:52 am

sprite

no I bet. Busy, but interesting, I think.

10:53 am

FMitch

Oh yay it is raining again! It rained last night for the first time in 5 weeks!!!

10:53 am

sprite

same here FM! Finally cooling down a bit. Am so grateful.

10:53 am

FMitch

me too sprite, me too esp re the temps.

10:54 am

Haz1558

Re the news, they like to have annual training in rioting, I think.

10:54 am

FMitch

sheesh

10:55 am

sprite

that is sad

10:55 am

Haz1558

Not much call for rioting when the weather was bad. If July happened in February, things would be a lot quieter.

10:56 am

FMitch

lol like to see if they could riot whilst on ice, would be more like a keystone kops movie.

10:56 am

FMitch

BRB

10:57 am

sprite

Haz, just curious: do you also get to screen the phone calls for real emergencies? And are you expected to help people verbally when possible?

10:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, sometimes it's just to make appointments, but you do get to give advice on what HAS to be seen and what can wait.

10:59 am

sprite

very interesting. You must know a lot about your husband's work to be able to do that.

10:59 am

Haz1558

I've learned over the years.

11:01 am

sprite

I remember when Terra couldn't walk at all all of a sudden and I panicked. And the vet said if it was that sudden, it was probably a virus and not something really bad. But I was glad I could come the same day anyway, even though she was right.

11:01 am

FMitch

and have some great tales to tell - still waiting for you to write the book btw.

11:01 am

Dorens

hello you eu**pean babblers

11:01 am

sprite

hiya Dorens

11:02 am

Haz1558

Yes, if people insist, they will be seen.

11:02 am

Dorens

lovely grid today... toodling along nicely, particularly after finding the gerund

11:02 am

FMitch

Hey Dorens!
Was reading your cricket posts earlier!

11:03 am

Dorens

ah! have you ever seen the beasts? they're truly grotesque. my cats don't particularly care for them, either

11:03 am

FMitch

No never seen them thank goodness, they look evil.

11:03 am

Dorens

actually this photo is rather mild... can't really see the size

11:03 am

FMitch

looks like a cricket crossed with a spider *shudder*

11:04 am

sprite

she told me it would have to wait because they had no time, and then she called me that somebody wasn't coming and we could come. Anyway, Terra was pretty young then and couldn't hold any water or food, so I was glad they could help him fast.

11:04 am

Dorens

the worst is when they jump at you! have read many internet sites... blogs etc. apparently people do call them sprickets because of that, fm

11:04 am

Haz1558

I know, it's reassuring.

11:04 am

sprite

Dorens, it is a bit creepy that size. And loads of them is a bit too much even to my taste, brrrrr.

11:05 am

FMitch

eeew eeew

11:05 am

sprite

being a vet is not just about animals, I guess, but also a lot about the owners and their psychology.

11:05 am

Dorens

yah... down in the garage, i saw six (r possibly more) huddled together on one wall. tomorrow, the garage is being cleaned out and "bombed"

11:06 am

FMitch

I am sure you are right sprite.

11:06 am

Dorens

the psychology of pet owners can be quite interesting, i'm sure. of course we all love our pets,but some people ....

11:06 am

FMitch

is this a yearly occurance Dorens?

11:06 am

sprite

some people don't love them and some 'love' them too much.

11:07 am

Dorens

i've always had a few down in the garage or laundry room... but the number this year is just outrageous

11:07 am

CadFan

Morning all. Must say -have a new puppy I am totally gaga over... but follow, strictly, the vet's advise :)

11:07 am

sprite

hey CadFan :)
I fell in love with Terra first thing too, hehehe.

11:07 am

Dorens

they love the damp. and my house is a bilevel//don't know if that translates in europe... but my lower level includes my garage and is half underground (house on a hill)

11:07 am

FMitch

Hi CadFan, is that the new pup in yr icon?

11:08 am

CadFan

Saw Kahlua's picture on the internet and it was instant!

11:08 am

redturtlehead

Hello again, have returned from the insurance sign up.

11:08 am

CadFan

Yes, that's her

11:08 am

sprite

hiya red, did it go well?

11:08 am

Dorens

she's adorable, cad

11:08 am

FMitch

she is soo lovely.
Hi red!

11:08 am

redturtlehead

it was faster than expected.

11:08 am

sprite

I can imagine, Dorens. Always a bit damp underground.

11:09 am

redturtlehead

YOur Puppy is too cute Cad. what did you finally decide on the name?

11:09 am

sprite

Cad she looks so sweet!

11:10 am

CadFan

Just uploaded the picture that originally brought me to her - her name is Kahlua

11:10 am

sprite

Fineena would have been nice too. But I like Kahlua as well.

11:10 am

CadFan

She is SO sweet!!!

11:10 am

Dorens

i like kahlua too... used to enjoy it with cream (black russian?)

11:11 am

CadFan

Fineena would be perfect - but no one else agreed with me...

11:11 am

FMitch

lol Dorens

11:11 am

Dorens

no, i think white russian, but why would kahlua be in a drink called white russian?

11:12 am

FMitch

Fineena is an interesting name, where does that come from?

11:12 am

CadFan

White Russian is actually kahlua, cream (or milk) and Vodka

11:12 am

CadFan

Fineena is Gaelic (or Irish)

11:12 am

CadFan

It means Beautiful Child

11:13 am

sprite

because of the vodca

11:13 am

Dorens

ahah! i guess i forgot about the vodka.

11:15 am

FMitch

I have to say that pup could have grown into that name.

11:17 am

sprite

11:21 am

FMitch

11:21 am

sprite

11:24 am

Dorens

the most surprising gerund is actually the first (alphabetically, not the first i found)

11:25 am

Riverdance

I'm not far enough in grid yet to know what the first one is

11:25 am

sprite

fireflies! Yes, that was one of my final words. That and the japanese pleasure girl.

12:14 pm

bichon

River, how goes your son? We drove right near your house on our way home from Maine.

12:15 pm

Riverdance

Hi bichon- we just got the call today - need to be in Boston on Thursday for pre-op and Friday for surgery

12:15 pm

Riverdance

here we go again

12:15 pm

bichon

Surgery?

12:16 pm

Riverdance

same but different - we will find out more when we meet with the team on Thursday - they have all the records and results from the last one

12:17 pm

bichon

I've been away in Maine. What happened at the angiogram?

12:19 pm

Riverdance

it wasnt an angiogram. He was under anesthesia for 10 hours - full electrical study - they tried to find the extra pathways but ran into complications. He has a large aneurism on the backside of his heart in one off the branches of the coronary artery. Too dangerous to go any further without additional testing besides he was under for so long. Dartmouth couldnt get him in again soon and felt he needed this taken care of asap.

12:19 pm

bichon

Wow! I am so sorry to hear that he needs more surgery.

12:20 pm

Riverdance

us too bichon - its really tough on him

12:20 pm

bichon

What hospital in Boston?

12:20 pm

Riverdance

he is just getting back on his feet and we do this to him again - he will be going to Childrens Hospital

12:21 pm

bichon

That's the hospital which was feature on the show "Boston Med". It must be world class

12:22 pm

Riverdance

they are the leading cardiac hospital for kids

12:23 pm

bichon

You know that my thoughts are with you and your son.

12:23 pm

Riverdance

thanks bichon

12:24 pm

SeaSpray

12:27 pm

Riverdance

its a great hospital - we are doing this again Thursday for pre-op and Friday for surgery

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

will you stay at the hospital or in a hotel? Will your home e-mail be accessible?

12:28 pm

Riverdance

I'm a wreck - just trying to keep busy - I'm at work now

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

you're amazing!

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

12:28 pm

Riverdance

bill collectors still want to get paid - DH is home with him

12:29 pm

Riverdance

not smoking - 12 weeks I think - lost count - since April 22

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

how is your daughter doing? I can imagine that she is having a very hard time

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

Great ruby and you?

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

hello barb!

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

it is very very hot here and, unlike Miami, the house is only air conditioned in the bedroom and there are no screens!

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

people in France don't have either!

12:31 pm

SeaSpray

We have had the heat also, 90's and 100's, that's good for being in the pool and thats about it!

12:32 pm

bichon

The Germans don't have AC or screens or water fountains!

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

fortunately, for me there is the T*** de France, my favorite event, even though Lance can't win this year

12:32 pm

Barb's Horses

cool here today only about 70..what happened to our summer?

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

somehow it is always hottest here when the days are longest (like now) and the thunderstorms only cool the air briefly

12:33 pm

bichon

We were in northern Maine last week hiking hut to hut [Sugarloaf area]. It was wicked hot

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

blackflies?

12:33 pm

SeaSpray

still hot and humid, has been for about 3 weeks now, and no rain, we finally got a downpour last night of 2 inches...torrential but we needed it badly

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

we need a slow, gentle rain. These T-storms don't last and as we're on a hillside, the garden is dry after one day. But I have one tomato turning red, so I am happy

12:36 pm

SeaSpray

yay for the red tomato!!

12:36 pm

bichon

No black flies, too late in the season. There were horse flies and skeeters though.

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

I am very poor at growing vegetables so this is exciting for me lol

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

One year, all the tomatoes in this valley turned black, so I wasn't the only incompetent

12:37 pm

bichon

On one hike, we ran out of water and had to purify some lake water.

2:10 pm

m9f9l

I thought it was pretty neat.

2:10 pm

yes, ive heard of that

2:17 pm

as a male,i have never really understood this registry thing..i mean invite who you like they bring a present or no,cash or no or whatever is my thoughts a a misguided male;0

i mean if you get 7 toasters give 9 away lol

2:19 pm

Riverdance

that was ig7 - sorry

2:20 pm

Christine

Obviously, Crossy, you didn't receive three toasters and four blenders, when you married. Also, nowadays so many coupples no longer live with family prior to marriage, and already have some stuff. With a registry, friends can contribute to something that's really needed.

2:20 pm

Ouwachita

anyone need one before i leave?

2:20 pm

crosshair

so,there is a list of needed things,is that it?"

2:21 pm

ok,..wanted 1(one) 300,000 dollar home lol

2:21 pm

m9f9l

and the registry tells if someone already got it for the couple.

2:21 pm

If it's somrthing you don't have, and can't sneak out of Mum's house, add it to the list.

2:34 pm

m9f9l

that was a bittersweet trip. nice to be camping with the fam...but we were there for a get-together with other family as memorial to my brother's wife that died.

2:35 pm

Pinikula

oh, sorry to hear about your fam's loss, m9...perhaps the photo op lifted some spirits...very serene.

2:36 pm

m9f9l

maybe. they were all gone then. my little brood were the only ones that stayed and camped.

2:36 pm

m9f9l

but they probably had good ferry rides!

2:36 pm

Pinikula

then they missed something incredibly beautiful...

2:37 pm

Pinikula

although, seeing the same while being on the water was probably just as serene

2:37 pm

m9f9l

yup. Pacific Northwest is very beautiful!

2:38 pm

m9f9l

Puget Sound

2:38 pm

Pinikula

I think so, too...that's why I've always been drawn back to it...

2:38 pm

m9f9l

you're south...right? Eugene? Corvallis???

2:39 pm

Pinikula

Speaking of Puget Sound...I had an English teacher in HS that tried to correct my pronunciation...she insisted it was pronounced PUGGET Sound...of all things!

2:39 pm

Pinikula

Eugene/Springfield, yes

2:39 pm

m9f9l

yeah...we'll have to get together! Silver Falls or something.

2:39 pm

Pinikula

2:40 pm

m9f9l

We could have done the festival... :-o

2:40 pm

Pinikula

2:40 pm

m9f9l

Pugget?!?!? where was that?!?

2:40 pm

m9f9l

country fair.

2:40 pm

m9f9l

or whatever it's called

2:41 pm

Pinikula

There's no such thing as PUGGET Sound! She insisted that's the way we were supposed to say it; boy, was she put in her place!

2:41 pm

Pinikula

They're still cleaning up from the Country Fair we just had down here.

2:41 pm

m9f9l

No..I meant where did you go to HS!

2:41 pm

m9f9l

2:41 pm

Pinikula

Oh, DOD school in Utah

2:42 pm

m9f9l

DOD school?

2:43 pm

Christine

2:43 pm

m9f9l

I could see maybe arguing for pujay or something..

2:43 pm

Pinikula

Oh, sorry...DOD = Department of Defense (HS was on a military base)

2:43 pm

Christine

??Department of Defense - you're a spy?

2:43 pm

m9f9l

I THINK that happens to me all the time.. but then I realize I've missed something.

2:43 pm

Pinikula

try refreshing, christine...

2:44 pm

m9f9l

well that explains it!

2:44 pm

Pinikula

No, dear, my dad was an officer

2:46 pm

Pinikula

2:47 pm

Bugsaw

Christine, I have had to close completely and then reopen to solve stuff like that sometimes

2:48 pm

Christine

When I had my fingerprints taken for my visa (19650), I had bandaids on both hands, fror an accident while opening a glass jar - total of seven fingertips covered. Yet, they took my fingerprints. The only record until new card was needed about five years ago. I coulda been a spy, no record on file.

2:49 pm

Pinikula

ROFL, christine...too funny

2:49 pm

Pinikula

3:17 pm

dcseain

cave crickets suck - they supplanted the crickets of my youth around here back in the 90s.

3:17 pm

Dorens

3:17 pm

Uneaixoise

3:19 pm

Dorens

3:28 pm

Dorens

3:29 pm

JBV

3:29 pm

Dorens

i shouldlook into it, seain... was hoping a friend would come down with me, but that doesn't seem happening

4:52 pm

periwinkle

4:53 pm

crosshair

4:53 pm

periwinkle

no hurshy

4:54 pm

dcseain

cat drinking fountain is wonderful :)

4:54 pm

LuvWordGames

br 6/27 sounds like a hair color, not blonde or black (ends in what you catch fish with)

4:54 pm

periwinkle

what brand do you recommend crossy?

4:54 pm

dcseain

my cat and my rabbit both love it

4:54 pm

crosshair

our cat was bleeding from the crystals before we fixed her diet

4:54 pm

hurshy

that is a good way to encourage them to drink more and that helps their urinary system.

4:54 pm

periwinkle

no bleeding here thank goodness

4:54 pm

hurshy

and not very expensive.

4:54 pm

hurshy

the drinkwell one is far superior to the petsmart one.

4:54 pm

crosshair

it is a vet brand,only available from the vet himself,it comes with a blue or brown label and is about 1.50 per tin

4:55 pm

periwinkle

how are your cats, hurshy?

4:55 pm

hurshy

they are all great. :)

4:55 pm

dcseain

crosshair

ty again dc

4:58 pm

periwinkle

those hot dog contests and other food ea**** contests are horrible to watch.

4:58 pm

dcseain

4:58 pm

dcseain

i agree, peri

4:58 pm

JBV

hi, can I jump in with a computer question - with almost no understanding at all, i'm trying to understand something about SKype...

4:58 pm

periwinkle

4:59 pm

crosshair

hurshy

5:00 pm

JBV

this is someone in Europe - I have no idea what we need to make this work

5:00 pm

crosshair

5:01 pm

crosshair

5:01 pm

JBV

hurshy

you can search for someone on skype based on their actual name, the email address they used to register, or the "handle" they picked for skype (like our babble names)

5:05 pm

jacq

i hope those help

5:05 pm

JBV

MaMaWA

Skype is so easy just goole it download it and set up your account takes 5 minutes as long as you have a mic and webcam y r all set.

5:10 pm

MaMaWA

Hi all

5:11 pm

crosshair

crossy love skype

5:11 pm

MaMaWA

me too crossy

5:11 pm

jacq

if you have a web cam and a mic why not just use hotmail or another messenger and chat online, those all do voice and viceo

5:11 pm

jacq

video

5:12 pm

crosshair

there is that 2 second lag,but it is not a big deal breaker

5:12 pm

MaMaWA

Still working grid with 171 to go here popping back out

5:12 pm

crosshair

skype has a cleaner picture jacq

5:12 pm

jacq

ok

5:13 pm

crosshair

and if you wish,you can use skype as your primary home phone for around 30 dollars per year

5:13 pm

crosshair

we are at the point where we are ready to dump our traditional land line in favor of smart phones and skype

5:14 pm

jacq

i understand the benefits now ty

5:15 pm

crosshair

But there is a cavet,skype cannot do 911 ,so in my case i have to dial my police station direct and then they hook me to dispatch

5:15 pm

welki

(which can cause problems if you're incapacitated and don't have the police station's number handy)

5:16 pm

welki

and .. if you don't update your physical address with your online phone provider and get patched to a 911 dispatch, they won't have a current address for you

5:16 pm

crosshair

our cop station is town number and 4321..so not a big issue in this case

5:17 pm

crosshair

indeed,you have to be able to speak your address

5:18 pm

crosshair

but with the smart phones in harmony with skype it is ok,i cannot live my life poised for a future disaster..not a way to live

5:19 pm

crosshair

i can hot key emergency services to a single button with the i-phone anyways

5:20 pm

crosshair

our plan is for a pair of those amazing i-phone 4,s;)

5:29 pm

crosshair

5:30 pm

crosshair

but i am saving 70 from the old land line and 20 each per month on the old pay as you go cells we have atm

5:30 pm

welki

we're paying 107/month for an iPhone 3G ... includes 1G data

5:31 pm

crosshair

oucH!! our 80 per mongh gives os 500 anytime mins,five mubers unlimited voice,mssg,dada and 2 gig of data

5:32 pm

crosshair

damn typos

5:32 pm

crosshair

those five unlimited numbers are the key to the package

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:32 pm

welki

5:33 pm

welki

5:33 pm

crosshair

too expensive for that pack welki

5:33 pm

crosshair

5:34 pm

welki

and that's through who? telus?

5:34 pm

crosshair

5:34 pm

crosshair

Kazzer99

5:36 pm

crosshair

5:36 pm

crosshair

5:37 pm

welki

5:38 pm

Kazzer99

5:38 pm

welki

5:38 pm

crosshair

i have already scoped out all our fav i=phone apps

5:38 pm

welki

i heard that android is coming out with an iPad sort of device, one that you can toggle between applications .. a BIG plus

5:39 pm

crosshair

android is the wolf at apples heels around here

5:39 pm

welki

android (phone) already does that ... now THAT would be a helluva package ... if it was available here

5:40 pm

crosshair

we have alreay save 50% of the cost of the new i-phones so it is good they are not shiiped yet as we are not quite ready

5:41 pm

dcseain

droid phones are superior to iphones -- the support open standards

5:41 pm

crosshair

it will be soooo good to dump this outdated overpriced land line

5:42 pm

crosshair

i have waited 40 years to tell bell canada to go to hell

5:42 pm

crosshair

who makes the android phone?

5:46 pm

welki

hmmm ... just looked it up, google!

5:46 pm

welki

android = operating system

5:47 pm

welki

(and then different manufacturers use it in their phones .. HTC, Samsung, LG, etc)

5:48 pm

crosshair

i see..

5:49 pm

crosshair

here we go

5:49 pm

crosshair

http://www.htc.com/ca/

5:49 pm

welki

hehehe, sounds like such a good plan until you start looking at all the different models ... and then the different plans ... then it just gets to be a p.i.t.a.

5:49 pm

welki

reviews at: http://www.androidmobilephone.com/

5:50 pm

crosshair

indeed,i just ran into the same pita

5:50 pm

crosshair

i think i sahll stay with my original plan,and blackberry lost by a nose also

5:51 pm

crosshair

the blackberry is better if you travel,then you can swap simm cards as needed

5:51 pm

welki

lucky for me, all my kids are techno-savvy and do all the research (and testing) before i make a purchase .. they tell me what they've purchased and then, like a sheep, i follow their lead :)

5:51 pm

crosshair

if you generally stay in the same province or state then it is a non issue

5:51 pm

crosshair

lol welki

5:52 pm

welki

roaming is ridiculous no matter where you go or what you have ... best to buy a phone card and leave the phone home

5:52 pm

crosshair

i do all the techno for this house,i researched for a year before i chose my wife reader

5:52 pm

welki

not so bad if you buy your phone in the states (my kids call here free) ... but the reverse is never true

5:53 pm

welki

it's pretty funny, crossy ... when we do make independent purchases, both the kids and we find we buy the same products

5:53 pm

crosshair

well with the newer smart phones you ncan do a double whammy,you load skype into your cell and call the kids that way

5:54 pm

welki

doesn't it use a lot of data?

5:55 pm

crosshair

data is only used during page turns i believe,or ims etc..im still researching it all

5:55 pm

sammysmom

clue please for tge in 7/40

5:55 pm

crosshair

i am going to be running my internet through my cabler line,that way my land phone line becomes totally redundant

5:56 pm

welki

don't have it sammy .. sorry

5:57 pm

welki

here's the answer, crossy: kype recommends an unlimited data usage plan for using Skype over a mobile data connection to avoid being charged by a wireless service provider for 3G, GPRS and EDGE mobile data usage.

5:57 pm

Riverdance

what is it you want sammy?

5:57 pm

crosshair

ahh ok now we know

5:57 pm

sammysmom

in 7/40 please

5:58 pm

Riverdance

5:58 pm

welki

5:58 pm

Riverdance

5:58 pm

5:58 pm

sammysmom

5:58 pm

Riverdance

5:59 pm

Riverdance

6:01 pm

welki

you're blessed that you're in the states ... i'm thinking that things wouldn't move so quickly up here in canada. BUT ... i'd bet you're here for some "normal" time, so let's dance :)

6:01 pm

Riverdance

Hi Crossy - dont go away

6:02 pm

welki

6:02 pm

Riverdance

I'm quite surprised it is this fast too - almost scary

6:02 pm

Riverdance

I dont know welki - but I tend to kill the chog lately when I make an appearance - I totally understand though - this is a happy place - thats why I come

6:04 pm

Riverdance

I have exciting news - my DH has been staying home with Keith as he cant be alone - special suppers made two night in a row - new recipes and everything - whoohooooooooo

6:04 pm

welki

nah, i don't think you kill the chat. i think that chat is always iffy ... sometimes on, sometimes off, sometimes populated by lurkers. sure, some folks might be uncomfortable because they don't know what to say, but this community is pretty supportive

6:04 pm

bichon

DH = Dear Husband?

6:04 pm

Riverdance

it is extremely supportive

6:05 pm

welki

supper ready when you get home? now, if there has to be a perk for all you've gone through, that's a great one!

6:05 pm

Good Enough

sounds great river...we're having french toast tonite ala me.

6:05 pm

Riverdance

yes bichon but in my case not quite so dear but will use it anyway

6:05 pm

6:07 pm

Riverdance

Welki - camping in a monsoon - been there, done that - we do it in a tent though - was in tent 2 years ago when tornado touched down a couple miles away - yikes

6:08 pm

Riverdance

Oh so sorry crossy - wasnt thinking straight

6:08 pm

Riverdance

6:08 pm

bichon

Fireworks! Anyone need clues

6:08 pm

welki

weird you should mention that, river. 10 yrs ago, not 10 feet from where we park our trailer, a tornado ripped through .. 11 dead

6:08 pm

Riverdance

whooohoooo bichon

6:08 pm

welki

6:09 pm

crosshair

6:09 pm

welki

not 10 feet, but 100 feet

6:09 pm

welki

we're having lasagna, too, but store bought

6:09 pm

Riverdance

we still tent camp (oh my aching back) because we have always pulled a boat for fishing - not taking 2 cars on vacation

6:10 pm

Riverdance

have a great self inflating foam pad from cabelas

6:10 pm

Riverdance

its so good we cant even roll it

6:10 pm

welki

when we go on the road, we pull a boat behind the motor home ... but once, we took an extra vehicle so we wouldn't have to pack up every time we wanted to venture away from the camp site

6:11 pm

Riverdance

we have been doing some remote camping these last few years in Maine - you boat in your stuff or hike in a 1/2 mile from logging road - trust me, we boat in as much as we can

6:12 pm

welki

ohhh, that sounds great, but like you said, 'ohhh, your aching back!

6:13 pm

welki

i have to go for a while ... happy lasagna!

6:13 pm

Riverdance

you got that right - so cure from lugging is laying on the sandy beach with an icy cocktail

6:13 pm

Riverdance

bye welki = enjoy

6:14 pm

crosshair

6:19 pm

crosshair

6:20 pm

Riverdance

Hey Jilly - my brother left Sunday from NH and travelling to Billings on his motorcycle

6:20 pm

crosshair

funny,i spend all my working days walking,funny how the body adapts

6:20 pm

Jillyjill

Wow, that's quite a ride River...why Billings as a destination?

6:21 pm

Riverdance

I need to start something as my metabolism shut down completely when I quit smoking - no eating any more but putting on the poundage

6:21 pm

crosshair

same here riverdance i slowly gained 50 pounds when i quit

6:21 pm

crosshair

in 7 years

6:21 pm

Jillyjill

bother

6:21 pm

Riverdance

there is a Blue Knights Convention there - he has been in law enforcement for a long time - Blue Knights is the law enforcement motorcycle organization

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

whoops

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

mea culpa

6:22 pm

Riverdance

ugh.....

6:22 pm

crosshair

have lost 12 of it to date,but long way to go

6:22 pm

Riverdance

so he is taking a week to ride out - his wife is flying out to stay a week and then he is taking a week to ride home

6:23 pm

Jillyjill

Cool River, if he has time, have him go over the Beartooth highway into Yellowstone, it's an unbelievable ride and view

6:23 pm

Riverdance

thats great crossy - they say if you do it slowly and the right way it will stay off versus the quick loss tricks you gain back plus - so GOOD JOB

6:25 pm

crosshair

one tip i have found,replace buns and normal bread with whole wheat bagels..it makes a huge difference

6:25 pm

Riverdance

Thanks Jilly - I will - I need to call him anyway so perfect

6:26 pm

Riverdance

I only eat wheat anyway - have gained 10 in 12 weeks - just need some physical activity - but this 90 degree weather is killing me along with the mega deer flies

6:26 pm

crosshair

i went from buying 4 loaves of bread for the house and 3 tubs of margerin ,to 1 loaf of bread,1 tub of margering and 8 bagels per week

6:26 pm

crosshair

damn,damn typos

6:26 pm

crosshair

and the kid uses the reg bread

6:27 pm

Riverdance

dont you know that babblelites read right through typos

6:27 pm

crosshair

neat eh?

6:28 pm

Riverdance

but we do use real butter with our wheat- oops, so sorry

6:28 pm

crosshair

thats what i like about babble any other site and the4y drone on and on about your typos.telling you ten ways to respell it,and how many time a day you mess up..but we just whisk right by it;))

6:28 pm

crosshair

mm.butter...

6:29 pm

Riverdance

supper is ready - will let you all know how great this lasagna is

6:29 pm

m9f9l

ugh. Crossy. there should be an apostraphe in that first word of your comment. I don't know if I can continue reading the things you write....

6:29 pm

Jillyjill

River, tell him to take Hwy 212 off Interstate 90 west of Billings. It'd be a day trip unless they wanted to see Yellowstone park; then more

6:29 pm

Oh, I see my stepdaughter has the electric fan on in her rooom again. It cost Â£1.50 for 8 hours and she has it on all night for about 10 hours, and has done for past 3 weeks.

9:18 pm

Trifioso

hello friends. and huzzah for feather!!!!

9:18 pm

Pinikula

take it out of her allowance?

9:18 pm

Pinikula

hi trif

9:18 pm

Pinikula

hey tor

9:19 pm

Jacula

If she left her window open when she got home from school and ddidn't draw down the blackout blind whilst watching TV and running her laptop, it migt not be so warm in her rooom when she comes to go to sleep. Also, I can hear the fan!

9:20 pm

Pinikula

take the fan away and give her the instructions just noted?

9:20 pm

Trifioso

I could use a nudge for the i in the right column - anyone, please?

9:20 pm

Jacula

Pink - I may have to do that.

9:21 pm

Uneaixoise

i + shiny fabric

9:21 pm

Pinikula

thx une

9:21 pm

Uneaixoise

9:22 pm

Pinikula

she'll just have to learn money doesn't grow on trees, right, jac?

9:23 pm

Trifioso

thank you!!!! nbt at last!

9:23 pm

Jacula

Pink - yes. Just a pity that her Daddy pays that particular bill.

9:23 pm

Uneaixoise

go, trif!!

9:23 pm

Pinikula

perhaps you should remind dad that it doesn't grow on trees either ?

9:23 pm

Trifioso

oh, DREAD -- tertiare just finished her shower...now I have to brush her hair. Screaming and teeth grinding to follow....argh!

9:24 pm

dcseain

J&J no more tangles does wonders

9:24 pm

Pinikula

good luck, trif!

9:25 pm

Jacula

Long hair, tangled, then? Can't be worse than my ddaughter's wait-length hair after we came back from a day in Iceland and shee'd swam in the Blue Lagoon.

9:25 pm

dcseain

ne7, pls?

9:25 pm

Pinikula

oh my, jac!

9:25 pm

Pinikula

ne7 = not positiving

9:25 pm

Kalyn

just shave the head bald...told my girls that.. carry one when we do your hair? it gets cut so short it won't be an issue

9:26 pm

Kalyn

on*

9:26 pm

Jacula

Salt-laden water, trying to wash it out after a flight to get back home. Now that wass legendary.

9:26 pm

dcseain

that's ne8, pini

9:26 pm

Pinikula

now there's an idea, Kalyn!

9:26 pm

Pinikula

oh, sorry, dc

9:26 pm

dcseain

oh, the one who is the 7, ty

9:26 pm

Pinikula

ne7 = the person that does the ne8

9:27 pm

Jacula

I would NEVER shave the head, even if nits were present. A girl needs her hair.

9:27 pm

Pinikula

that's what wigs are for, jac!

9:27 pm

dcseain

i threw together some soup, and stir-fried and braised the carrots to perfection :)

9:27 pm

Kalyn

it worked.. even when they had.. the little crawlies from school..never a complaint about doing their hair..they knew I meant it..and both had waist length hair

9:27 pm

Jacula

Look how bereft Sinead O'Connor was...

9:28 pm

Pinikula

ok, perhaps bald is a little extreme, perhaps a boy-cut?

9:28 pm

Jacula

http://tinyurl.com/37vdfhc

9:29 pm

Kalyn

now my niece.. kept her head shaved from age 9 to almost 12.. she liked it that way ..but yes.. I would do a pixie cut very short if needed..just told them i wouldn't stop til it was shaved :P

9:29 pm

Jacula

Pink - wigs make you itch!

9:29 pm

dcseain

a good-quality wig is indistinguishable from real hair

9:29 pm

Pinikula

hey, I'm tryin' here!!! :)

9:30 pm

Jacula

Still makes you itch, though, dcs!

9:30 pm

Jellen

Hello...

9:30 pm

Jacula

Hi Jellen.

9:30 pm

Pinikula

hi jellen

9:30 pm

Jellen

I need a hug...

9:30 pm

dcseain

you put a do-rag over the scalp, voila... no itch

9:30 pm

dcseain

(((jellen)))

9:31 pm

Jellen

Tim's in the hospital again, we hope just for the night...

9:31 pm

dcseain

oh, dear :(

9:31 pm

Pinikula

oh no, jellen! sorry to hear; hope he comes home quickly!

9:32 pm

Pinikula

wooo hoooo, my first big tile is grey! (F)

9:32 pm

Pinikula

9:33 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, so sorry to hear that, jellen :-(

9:33 pm

dcseain

other than stressed/upset, you doing okay -- are you eating?

9:33 pm

Jellen

He's having one more MRI and having a port put in so they can start chemo ASAP...

9:33 pm

Jellen

I eat when I'm stressed :-S

9:34 pm

dcseain

okay then :) hydrated?

9:34 pm

Jellen

Yup, hydrated...

9:35 pm

dcseain

good. glad to hear you're taking care of you

9:35 pm

dcseain

do try to get some rest, even if at hospital

9:35 pm

Jellen

I'm at home...

9:36 pm

Jellen

Will drive back tomorrow...

9:38 pm

dcseain

ah, now that i know what a 1st gh5 is, ag6 makes a lot of sense. We have so many words for apparitions/specters

9:38 pm

dcseain

is it far?

9:38 pm

Jellen

90 miles

9:39 pm

dcseain

that's no too bad. I hope he improves quickly

9:39 pm

Trifioso

back. didn't get it finished, due to hysterics from the
"victim" -- honest to god, I don't know how much more of this I can take....it's always a MAJOR production, complete with howls of "child abuse!"

9:40 pm

dcseain

get her a Dorothy Hamill cut

9:40 pm

Jellen

Poor Trif!

9:40 pm

Trifioso

I am two seconds away, I promise!

9:41 pm

Trifioso

had a lovely day prior to this....work in the morning, and then off to the beach with the girls. primo was at an all-day rock fest, so he's a happy guy. it's all good.

9:41 pm

Pinikula

make her take of her own hair, trif; that'll teach her!

9:42 pm

Trifioso

we tried that pini-- she just doesn't do it, and then it gets all matted and impossible.

9:42 pm

welki

how old is she, trif?

9:42 pm

Pinikula

dreadlocks are in nowadays!

9:42 pm

Jellen

Oh, then snip, snip!

9:43 pm

dcseain

for dreds, have to start short

9:43 pm

Pinikula

I'm sure matted and impossible might fast-track that, dc!

9:44 pm

Trifioso

11, but with some issues, welki. the ped told me to ignore it until some girl or boy at school tells her she is yucky, tells her hair is gross, etc, and then apparently she will fix it herself. But oh, the idea of letting it wait that long!

9:45 pm

welki

does she care about her hair? i mean, does it matter to her what it looks like? (so long as she lets water pour over it in the shower, i'd vote with the ped ... even though i know it must be driving you nuts)

9:48 pm

Trifioso

no, she doesn't care. not at all.

9:48 pm

Pinikula

perhaps shortening it to a length she can manage on her own, but still long enough that she can ask to doll it up?

9:48 pm

Magyk

evening all

9:49 pm

Pinikula

hi magy

9:49 pm

Trifioso

you know what? I am giving up on it for now. I just want to finish the grid. she can go pound tar, I have had enough of her dramz for one day.

9:49 pm

dcseain

hi, magy

9:49 pm

Trifioso

hello magyk

9:49 pm

welki

maybe she does care ... or she wouldn't have gotten so upset. **kids**

9:50 pm

Pinikula

give her the comb...make her do it; otherwise, consider following ped's orders?

9:51 pm

Trifioso

I am actually pretty sure this is another facet of her learning issues coming to the forefront. she really may be experiencing this as torture - she does not integrate stimuli correctly at all times, so it may actually be painful....

9:52 pm

Pinikula

oh, sorry, to hear, trif

9:52 pm

Trifioso

thanks. moving on....

9:52 pm

welki

then maybe let it be ... water, bottles of 'no more tangles' and time

9:55 pm
