12:32 am

gremlinn

na4

12:32 am

dart001

na 4

12:32 am

cybernan

na 4

12:32 am

gremlinn

it's contained within nan's name

12:33 am

gremlinn

I typed "stid" more than once

12:34 am

rolin

ty...ive never seen that word before...i would have expected a doubole consonant

12:35 am

cybernan

25 to go - list time

12:35 am

gremlinn

it's kind of old-fashioned, but common

12:35 am

dcseain

T'was the...na4 a sound to be heard...

12:36 am

jillibus

I think it's American

12:37 am

dcseain

oed says "1746, alteration of ne'er a, short for never a." but mentions not which side of the pond

12:37 am

jillibus

interesting, dc

12:37 am

rolin

i always thought it had a a doubole consonant

12:38 am

dcseain

has a scots-ih sound to my ear, though Scots heavily influences many Eastern NA dialects

12:39 am

jillibus

dbl cons wuld rhyme with what Chelsea just did, rather than with the Queen of Scots.

12:40 am

rolin

true jilli

12:40 am

gremlinn

those don't all rhyme with one another?

12:40 am

dcseain

those words rhyme in my dialect, jilli

12:40 am

dcseain

as does merry

12:40 am

gremlinn

yep

12:40 am

jillibus

Oh y'all caint hep yerself, dc

12:41 am

dcseain

:P jilli

12:44 am

jillibus

do you think ferry and fairy rhyme?

12:45 am

dcseain

indeed they do, jilli

12:45 am

gremlinn

they rhyme

12:45 am

gremlinn

(and fairie as well)

12:45 am

gremlinn

(or is it faerie?)

12:45 am

dcseain

both are valid, grem

12:45 am

jillibus

well, they don't!

12:46 am

gremlinn

nuh-uh, they do

12:46 am

gremlinn

I speak unaccented English.

12:46 am

dcseain

in my native dialect pin and ink pin (pen) rhyme too.

12:46 am

cybernan

no they don't -- neither to Craig and Greg (my son's names and everyone wants to prounounce Craig as Creg)

12:46 am

gremlinn

pin and pen don't rhyme

12:46 am

jillibus

Not if you pronounce those two the same way.

12:47 am

dcseain

craig and greg rhyme -- i even know one graig

12:47 am

gremlinn

I would rhyme Craig and Greg

12:47 am

cybernan

craig and greg do not rhyme

12:47 am

dcseain

in much of the SE US, there is a short i - short e merger

12:47 am

cybernan

long a in craig and short e in greg

12:47 am

gremlinn

maybe not for your sons, but for most people I've heard named Craig, it does rhyme with Greg

12:47 am

dcseain

further South, craig is said as crayg vs greg

12:48 am

cybernan

and that is how it should be pronounced, seain

12:48 am

gremlinn

in fact, I vaguely remember a line from a movie where someone has to ask someone if he/she said one or the other

12:48 am

gremlinn

was it Back to the Future?

12:49 am

gremlinn

yes, I think it was

12:49 am

dcseain

by default, i drawl the long a in that name so that it rhymes with bale, if i'm speaking in native dialect.

12:49 am

gremlinn

"Second, someone named Greg or Craig called you just a little while ago."

12:49 am

jillibus

Well, I have an English Pronouncing Dictonary in the International Phonetic Alphabet to back me up.

12:49 am

gremlinn

A number of its entries is wrong, jilli.

12:50 am

dcseain

based on which dialect?

12:50 am

dcseain

the g-k (hard c) minimal pair causes a number of difficulties in several indo-european languages

12:51 am

jillibus

Based on Standard Englsih as spoken in the south of England, and I'm speaking with an Englsih person on MSN who agrees.

12:51 am

gremlinn

we don't accept England's standards ever since we kicked their butts

12:51 am

dcseain

Years ago, i met some people from Kent at a bus stop near my home, and it was weird cause the sounded like they were from S Central Pennsylvania

12:52 am

cybernan

Craig is a Scottish name -- long a

12:52 am

dcseain

had a company with offices there, too. calling there was always weird, as their dialect is much like the Mid-Atlantic one.

12:52 am

anike

fireworks

12:52 am

dcseain

congrats, anike

12:54 am

cybernan

just need that un 8 -- have no idea

12:54 am

jillibus

May we accept that in the USA American is spoken, not English?

12:54 am

jillibus

YAY anike?

12:54 am

gremlinn

nan: un + another word in the grid

12:54 am

jillibus

that was supposed to be a !, not a ?.

1:55 am

jillibus

hi sandy!

1:56 am

sandyloo

love that cat jilli

1:56 am

jillibus

*pats self on back for getting all the Ws just like that*

1:56 am

Haz1558

Hello, sandyloo.

1:57 am

jillibus

so do I, sandy, but he's just a visitor :)

1:58 am

sandyloo

our cat is such a smoocher and he loves me, he always stretches his paws up around my neck

1:58 am

jillibus

oh, how delightful!

1:58 am

sandyloo

he also jumps up on our four wheel motorbike and comes all around the farm with me

1:59 am

jillibus

what a lover!

1:59 am

sandyloo

If we have a picnic in the back paddock he comes and climbs the trees and stays there until we have finished, I have a photo of him sitting on a ram we used to have

2:02 am

jillibus

quite a character -- what did the ram think of that?

2:02 am

sandyloo

I am allergic to all other cats except pure bred siamese - isn't that bizarre?

2:02 am

sandyloo

I am allergic to all other cats except pure bred siamese - isn't that bizarre?

2:03 am

2:03 am

jillibus

I think a Burmese is part Siamese -- would that be ok? Max is a real conversationalist.

2:03 am

sandrafrances

thank you

2:03 am

sandyloo

the ram was madly in love with my husband- it was hilarious, when he came home from work he would run after his car and try to jump in the seat with him

2:04 am

sandyloo

no I am violently allergic to anything else but a pure siamese

2:06 am

sandyloo

everywhere my husband went the ram was not far behind him- unfortunately he started butting everyone so we gave him away

2:08 am

jillibus

"Hubby had a little ram..."

2:14 am

sandyloo

I went on a site last nite- coffee rooms or something like that and they were talking about babble

2:15 am

jillibus

really? In what way?

2:16 am

sandyloo

they all said they liked it but found the chat log difficult to understand because of the codes like aw4/10 etc. I put in an entry explaining how helpful and nice we all are! LOL

2:16 am

jillibus

did you tell them what the codes were for?

2:17 am

sandyloo

I was bored and looking around the nett - I found an amusing game called babble bubble

2:17 am

sandyloo

I didn't have to as someone else referred to it but I did say we were all ready to help and to ask questions

2:17 am

jillibus

any similarity to this?

2:18 am

sandyloo

not really , you have to click on little floating bubbles to form words against speed and times - I always like a more people interactive site like this- I used to play tangleword which I just loved

2:19 am

sandyloo

tangleword was where I found out about babble

2:19 am

jillibus

I have 18 left now and it's past bedtime so I'll be off -- happy babbling all and goodnight/morning/evening/whatever...a
nd *poof*

2:19 am

2:59 am

sandyloo

2:59 am

flosey

3:00 am

jmcnrick

i have the ending it is the first part of the clue that i am working on

sandyloo

i went to bed at 8 pm and slept more than i normally do -- i am hoping an hour of babble and catching up on emails and I will go to sleep again

3:11 am

rubyfoo

hello flosey and sandy

3:11 am

sandyloo

Ruby, did the nurse come? what did she say?...

3:11 am

jmcnrick

nurse?

3:12 am

rubyfoo

I just got back from the police station and the adjacent mairie and they are taking all this VERY seriously. We are getting as many people involved as possible, to try and find (and then destroy) the dog!

3:12 am

jmcnrick

police!!

3:12 am

sandyloo

it needs to go for sure!! how is hubby

3:12 am

sandyloo

Ruby's husband was attacked by a dog very badly

3:13 am

rubyfoo

a substitute nurse will be coming for 3 wks as she was leaving on vacation. The wounds are horrible (I looked as I'm not squeamish but don't want to be involved with changing the dressings)

3:13 am

jmcnrick

dh was bit by a stray dog??

3:13 am

jmcnrick

omg that is terrible!

3:13 am

sandyloo

it was on a lead , a beauceron, and pulled away from its owner and attacked

3:14 am

sandyloo

owner and dog then conveniently disappeared

3:14 am

jmcnrick

beauceron? is that a kind of dog?

3:14 am

rubyfoo

he was taking his usuaul 50 minute walk in our village, up the jhill and back down when he encountered a man with a beauceron (a cross between a doberman and a shepherd) and when it lunged at Burt, the man dropped the leash. It took Burt down and bit him twice, very seriously

3:14 am

sandyloo

a very bad dog

3:14 am

jmcnrick

i bet the owner disappeared -- didn't want to be sued or have dog put down

3:14 am

flosey

oh Ruby, I hadn't heard any of this, very sorry

3:15 am

rubyfoo

It ate the chunk (large) of flesh it bit off and then attacked again and punctured his shoulder. The surgeon could not close it without a graft which my husband refused

3:15 am

jmcnrick

well i am so sorry ruby -- no matter how annoyed you get at dh you would want this to happen

3:15 am

jmcnrick

*gag*

3:15 am

rubyfoo

the police will prepare a flyer (from Sandy's photo) and my info and distribute it door-to-door

3:15 am

sandyloo

he may find he will have to have one Ruby

3:15 am

flosey

how dreadful, what horrible pain he must be feeling

3:16 am

rubyfoo

no, he is forgiven for every thing at the moment, but I am having to be Nurse Ratchitt to make him rest as he is very wobbly both from the bites, the general tramau, the shock and the loss of blood.

3:16 am

jmcnrick

well a friend of mine in Kenya lost a chunk of her leg and it finally began to heal -- it takes a lot longer though

3:16 am

rubyfoo

amazing.

3:16 am

rubyfoo

y, he says it doesn't hurt but then, again, neither did his heart attack....

3:16 am

sandyloo

in that pic, Ruby, the dog had sliced ears but some have floppy ears if they haven't been cut (illegal here to do it)

3:17 am

rubyfoo

the doctors said 3 month!

3:17 am

rubyfoo

illegal here, too, but this dog had erect ears

3:17 am

jmcnrick

the trauma must have been a lot!

3:18 am

jmcnrick

some one who would let their dog attack that way (by letting go of the leash) and then leave wouldn't quibble at a law about cutting ears

3:18 am

sandyloo

I found a chat site about beaucerons on the web, and they were all saying what lovely dogs they were -so I put my little piece in there

3:19 am

jmcnrick

a dog says a lot about its owners

3:19 am

sandyloo

they were saying the breeders asked lots of questions to prospective buyers which in my view is a red flag anyway

3:19 am

sandyloo

jm, I totally agree with that

3:19 am

jmcnrick

i have a cousin-in-law who can take abused dogs and turn them into the most amazing sweet animals

3:20 am

sandyloo

in the end, breeders are about making sales and making money, although some can be responsible

3:20 am

jmcnrick

(and I don't even like dogs)

3:20 am

sandyloo

is that cousin called 'Ceasar'

3:20 am

jmcnrick

uh - no?

3:20 am

jmcnrick

cliff

3:20 am

sandyloo

Ceasar the Dog Whisperer

3:20 am

rubyfoo

sandy has been an absolute rock and all the neighbors, too. Everybody is talking about it (it's a small village, I just talked to the gendarmerie and they'll be here today for us to file a complaint) and I think that will be helpful in finding the dog

3:21 am

jmcnrick

ah missed that sandy (clearly)

3:22 am

sandyloo

Don't you watch the Dog Whisperer?

3:22 am

jmcnrick

well i feel sorry for the dog since it didn't have a decent owner but it does ne** to be put down

3:22 am

jmcnrick

uh never heard of it sandy

3:22 am

jmcnrick

is that a tv show?

3:22 am

sandyloo

Ceasar Milan has a show on tv where he rehabilitates dogs,

3:22 am

sandyloo

It is an american show

3:22 am

jmcnrick

bless his heart

3:23 am

sandyloo

I feel that a vicious dog in the hands of an inexperienced owner is a lethal weapon and has no place in society

3:23 am

rubyfoo

I THINK THAT ONCE A DOG HAS ATTACKED AND EATEN WHAT HE HAS BITTEN OFF, HE NE**s to be destroyed. And I love dogs, having two big (gentle) ones

3:24 am

rubyfoo

and Burt said the guy didn't look exactly normal

3:24 am

jmcnrick

there ne*** to be a gossip page for babbleland where people could post their important news and others could keep up on the gossip

3:24 am

sandyloo

I feel very sorry for the dog, but after this it is dangerous if that had been a child it would have died

3:24 am

rubyfoo

if Burt has been smaller, he could have been kllled, especially when he hit the pacement

3:24 am

jmcnrick

ruby i think if a dog actually EATS part of a person there is no question but it should be put down

3:25 am

sandyloo

great idea Jm

3:25 am

rubyfoo

I don't feel sorry for the dog....and I don't believe a dog like that can ever be trusted. It is not worth the societal risk!

3:25 am

sandyloo

they say here (about dogs that have attacked livestock) that if they have killed and tasted blood they cannot ever be trusted again

3:26 am

flosey

I agree jmc, can't imagine any possibility of that dog being properly trained now - and certainly the owner needs to be charged in some way! and certainly to pay

3:26 am

rubyfoo

enough, I think I have monopolized the chog excessively but you, my friends, have been enormously helpful to me!!!

3:26 am

sandyloo

LOL Ruby, it is horrible but very interesting

3:27 am

sandyloo

and poor you, are you feeling better?

3:27 am

flosey

all the best to you and hubby, Ruby

3:27 am

rubyfoo

my guess is that even if they find the owner (unlikely)he ;robably won't have the ability to pay. I am just grateful that Burt will be OK! He says "He will not die from a dog bite!!"

3:27 am

rubyfoo

I am OK, just tired

3:28 am

rubyfoo

last night I had a wild craving for hard boiled eggs, must be the fatigue making demands!

3:28 am

sandyloo

I feel very strongly about this issue as we are very doggy people- I don't like to see irresponsible owner

3:28 am

jmcnrick

he can always do some jail time. I would vote for that and since my husband was a criminal trial lawyer i am not a big fan of jail for anyone

3:28 am

sandyloo

Last nite, I forgot to open the chookyard so I had to go about in the pitch dark searching for roosting chooks to lock them in

3:28 am

jmcnrick

well take care of yourself too ruby

3:28 am

rubyfoo

we are very doggy, too (you should smell my hands after I pet my beloved chows! hahah), but the is like a man-eating tiger......

3:29 am

jmcnrick

i am always covered in cat hairs myself

3:29 am

jmcnrick

i understand doggy -- its a matter of personalities

3:29 am

jmcnrick

so -- to change the topic a bit -- can someone up date me as to Jellen?

3:29 am

sandyloo

I am always covered in little white jack russel hairs and now orange horse hairs as Scrimmy is losing his winter coat

3:30 am

rubyfoo

the only people who weren't nice were the ER personnel. They were very nasty both to me and my husband. This is our second negative exzperience with them. I think it's because I'm a "pushy American"

3:30 am

jmcnrick

push away madame!

3:30 am

rubyfoo

we only like chow chows and they are very cat-like in many ways

3:30 am

sandyloo

I thought the French liked foreigners who can speak French

3:31 am

rubyfoo

Burt loves Jack Russels but I want a dog who doesn't mind being stepped on as I am always carrying something in my arms and they are both very quiet!

3:31 am

jmcnrick

jack russells are cute

3:32 am

sandyloo

ours are very well trained so they are nice and very clever they can do lots of tricks

3:32 am

rubyfoo

In the 12 years we've been here, everybody has been wonderful EXCEPT the ER people. I don't know why. The emergency technicians are the most gentle and kind guys I have ever met

3:32 am

rubyfoo

Burt loves them because they are playful and smart (chows aren't playful and their intelligence is cat-like rather than dog-like)

3:33 am

rubyfoo

chows don't do tricks!

3:33 am

sandyloo

you mean that they are indepentant thinkers Ruby!

3:33 am

rubyfoo

Burt hasd a Jack Russel with his previous wife, but she ruined it with her neuroticim

3:33 am

sandyloo

independent

3:34 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:34 am

sandyloo

Jacks can be very neurotic if they are not raised properly

3:34 am

rubyfoo

neuroticism (hard to spell, this AM). Still sort of reeling from the extra workload and worry

3:34 am

sandyloo

Ours are great and they could be locked up in the chookyard all day with the chooks and they wouldn't hurt them

3:35 am

sandyloo

but they are hunters at heart

3:35 am

rubyfoo

Max, who has a mouth that could bite my whole head, is the more gentle dog in the world. The only time I've seen his teeth is when he yawns. When I hand-feed him, all I feel is his softmuzzle

3:36 am

rubyfoo

chows can't hunt at all but Ruby ate a spider or something last night after playing with it for several minutes!

3:36 am

Sally-catlover

Hi everyone

3:36 am

sandyloo

aaaw sweet - do they require a lot of coat care?

3:36 am

rubyfoo

most* gentle

3:36 am

rubyfoo

3:36 am

sandyloo

rubyfoo

hi* can't time at all this morning.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

sandyloo

Ihave to go and feed the horse , and cook dinner, and slave away - it's hard being a perfect wife sometimes

3:37 am

rubyfoo

endless combing, every day as they have long fur and an enormous undercoat

3:37 am

flosey

hi Sally

3:37 am

Sally-catlover

how are you ruby? have just looked back in chog and woulds sound worse than I had thought

3:37 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I wish to send my love but back in a few everyone the chook is ding done

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I've given up striving for perfection! passable is good enough

3:38 am

rubyfoo

3:38 am

sandyloo

Ha ha , My opinion may not be everyone else's - perfection is in the eye of the beholder

3:38 am

rubyfoo

horrible wounds; the nurse kept saying "Ooh la la!", she had never seen any as bad!

3:38 am

Sally-catlover

I would't dream of trying to be a perfect wife!

3:39 am

rubyfoo

and if your husband thinks you are perfect, that sounds perfect o me, Sandy!

3:39 am

sandyloo

LOL of course he does!!

3:41 am

sandyloo

I read a book other day (very old) it says you should brush your hair and put a ribbon it it for when your husband comes home ! I am just off to do that! so will bbl

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

I have some very old etiquette books which are wonderful sandy! Must dig them out and post some juicy morsels on here.

3:42 am

jmcnrick

hi sally and herin

3:42 am

rubyfoo

very cute, sandy!

3:42 am

rubyfoo

and change your apron!

3:43 am

sandyloo

how to be a good wife would be a great icon theme! Lynxx would love it - she too is a perfect wife-

3:43 am

jmcnrick

a clean apron for husband is important! lol

3:43 am

sandyloo

thanks for that suggestion Ruby

3:43 am

jmcnrick

(my husband wore one more than i did)

3:43 am

jmcnrick

should make how to be a good spouse for the guys!

3:43 am

sandyloo

Jm you are a rebellious american , I am a submissive perfect aussie woman

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

I do remember one bit about wives not troubling their husbands when they come home about the domestic cares of the day, but settling them down and trying to show an interest in their day, although they wouldn't understand it.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

nats

3:44 am

rubyfoo

rats

3:44 am

rubyfoo

sorry duh!

3:44 am

jmcnrick

hmm that is not the image i have of aussie women

3:44 am

rubyfoo

I picture Nicole Kidman in Australia!

3:45 am

jmcnrick

*gives rubu a get of pb for a day card*

3:45 am

sandyloo

well must be off to put a ribbon in, a fresh apron on, clean my teeth for a minty kiss and cook the perfect meal

3:45 am

jmcnrick

*gagging at the thought of nicole kidman*

3:45 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:45 am

sandyloo

poof

3:45 am

Sally-catlover

giggling at sandy :-)

3:45 am

jmcnrick

3:45 am

rubyfoo

you women always make me smile!

3:46 am

jmcnrick

3:46 am

rubyfoo

3:48 am

herinfernallady

Hello everyone.

3:49 am

herinfernallady

Actually that whole thing of cooking dinner and making sure the 'husband' has a drink when he walks in and not bothering him for an hour about petty things That is me

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

brb

3:53 am

jmcnrick

hi herin -- well i think most people benefit from not being bugged when they first get home from work

3:54 am

jmcnrick

there was some book from the early 70s about greeting your husband in cellophane and a bow with a drink in your hand

3:55 am

herinfernallady

Hi JMC

3:55 am

herinfernallady

JM that could be an interesting idea.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

3:55 am

herinfernallady

See the b.f is at work from 8am till 530pm he needs that decompress time

3:56 am

morning all

4:45 am

lynxxx

Hello Sprite

4:45 am

sprite

hey lyn :)

4:48 am

sandyloo

hey sprite, lynxx

4:48 am

lynxxx

evening Sandy

4:48 am

sprite

hi sandy :)

4:49 am

jmcnrick

hi sprite

4:49 am

jmcnrick

hi sandy

4:49 am

sprite

hi jmc!

4:50 am

sandyloo

Sprite, here's a suggestion for an icon, "the perfect wife"

4:50 am

sprite

oh wonderful!

4:50 am

lynxxx

oh please!

4:51 am

sprite

sep 14

4:51 am

sandyloo

we could also have the 'perfect husband' although not of such importance

4:53 am

sprite

I like symmetry. And to be honest, to be a perfect wife (in the eyes of a man!) is easier than to be a perfect husband in the eyes of a woman.

4:53 am

sandyloo

Only a perfect wife could have that view

4:53 am

sprite

lol

4:53 am

jmcnrick

hmmm how about a perfect spouse

4:54 am

jmcnrick

<===die hard feminist

4:54 am

sandyloo

we can have some fun with those

4:54 am

lynxxx

shouldn't it be the perfect partner?

4:55 am

sandyloo

that could be a dog!

4:55 am

sandyloo

well that is four new icons

4:55 am

jmcnrick

i could go for perfect partner

4:56 am

jmcnrick

and maybe perfect pet

4:56 am

sandyloo

they all will appeal to the imagination

4:56 am

sprite

ok I will add perfect partner and perfect pet :D

4:57 am

sprite

jmc, I think I would like to see the differences between the perfect wife and husband themes, so that is why I do not do the spouse, ok?

4:58 am

sandyloo

spouse could provide some 'left of centre' thinking

4:59 am

sprite

they will come one after another from 14 sep, with only the Friday as a skip.

4:59 am

sandyloo

I am looking forward to seeing lynxx's interpretation

5:00 am

sprite

the Friday of that week being FM's birthday

5:00 am

lynxxx

well of course I will need a photo of you and your husband Sandy

5:01 am

sprite

sandy, I think I have figured that out already... you are striving to be the perfect wife... lyn already is.

5:01 am

sandyloo

Obviously , I will be in one of those photos!!

5:01 am

sandyloo

Sprite you are so perceptive

5:02 am

sprite

*hides under table*

5:02 am

sandyloo

(Adjusts clean apron and shiny ribbon in hair)

5:03 am

jmcnrick

well i can see there would be a possibility for interesting differences in perfect wife and perfect husband

5:03 am

jmcnrick

*wonders if sandy has knickers on remembering 1970s book*

5:04 am

lynxxx

how do you feed the chooks in those stilletto heels Sandy?

5:06 am

jacq

hmmm strange time to enter the room, panties, chooks and stillettoes, sounds like stepford wives

5:06 am

sandyloo

the 1950's book I was reading did not refer to anything 'biblical'

5:07 am

jacq

lol sandy 50's wives were meant to meet their husbands needs regardless of how tired they were

5:07 am

hi Jacq

5:07 am

jacq

stepford again

5:07 am

jmcnrick

hi jac

5:07 am

jacq

and hello everybody

5:07 am

sprite

yes the stepford wife's, recently read the book, creepy!

5:08 am

sprite

*wifes

5:08 am

jacq

the book is so much creepier than the film, possibly because the written word evoked images that aren't controlled by anyone

5:08 am

jmcnrick

wives

5:09 am

sprite

oh dear... wives! See, I cannot even spell it, let alone be a perfect wife.

5:09 am

sandyloo

Books certainly create pictures that are more vivid

5:09 am

lynxxx

yes but wifes is allowable if playing Babble!

5:10 am

jacq

perfect would be so boring i think, it's the quirks in everyone that makes them interesting

5:10 am

jmcnrick

really?? goes to show that enable is crazy

5:10 am

sprite

usually I prefer the book over the movie. One of the few exceptions is the Witches of Eastwick.

5:10 am

sandyloo

I loved the Godfather films as well as the books

5:10 am

jacq

i always make it a rule now to not watch a movie if i have read the book

5:10 am

jacq

i am always disappointed

5:11 am

sandyloo

I think they did a great job with the Harry Potter films

5:11 am

sprite

I heard once that the perfect wife is about 1.50 m, flat on top so you can put your glass of beer down, has big ea4 and an O-shaped mouth, and no vocal cords...

5:11 am

jacq

LOLOLOL

5:11 am

jmcnrick

*giggle*

5:11 am

sandyloo

LOL that sounds like something a male said

5:12 am

jacq

5:12 am

LoriP

re

5:12 am

sprite

I thought I would say it, because almost no male could without being shredded to pieces, grin

5:12 am

jmcnrick

5:12 am

jmcnrick

Hi Lori!

5:13 am

LoriP

***Captain, the shields are down*** Gah!

5:14 am

sprite

I agree, for the HP movies and Godfather. Lord of the Rings as well. Both movie and book are good. But books still better.

5:14 am

LoriP

G'd morning kids. Sorry 'bout that. I had an opinion, but then I changed my mind.

lynxxx

Sandy, have you seen/read Romulus? Australian story

5:17 am

jacq

but i have read an awful lot of books, so many that i sometimes forget i've read one and buy it again

5:17 am

jmcnrick

5:18 am

jmcnrick

5:19 am

lynxxx

bye jmc

5:19 am

jacq

my favourite of all time is "flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, so much better than the movie and affected me so much i still think about it

5:20 am

jacq

i read it when i was 13 and never forgot it

5:22 am

lynxxx

Sleepers, a horrific book (in that it could actually happen) which the movie could not live up too

5:22 am

sandyloo

5:23 am

lynxxx

lynxxx

is that addressed to me Jacq?

5:24 am

jacq

yes i was asking about the sleepers

5:25 am

lynxxx

Yes the same

5:26 am

jacq

the scary thing about sleepers is that it might already have happened somewhere and nobody would ever know

5:26 am

lynxxx

Sandy, Eric Bana stars in the movie , but don't be put off he is fantastic

5:26 am

jacq

5:43 am

grannyrose

thanx jacq

5:43 am

sandyloo

good clue though

5:43 am

sprite

but sustained fever for so long a time is no picnic. They have no clue about the reason for the fever?

5:44 am

jacq

you must be exhausted granny

5:44 am

grannyrose

one scan showed an infection in my central sinus in my forehead, have had three courses of different antibiotics.

5:45 am

sprite

didn't they put it on... what is it called... so they can see which bacteria is responsible?

5:45 am

grannyrose

now i'm sort of concerned that the doctor might be considering a washout of the sinus...yuck!!!!

5:45 am

herinfernallady

Hi

5:46 am

jacq

heya herin

5:46 am

grannyrose

sprite, they have to get into the sinus to swab it, not the most pleasant of experiences, i can tell you

5:46 am

sprite

that might be not so bad an idea, rose, though far from pleasant. But they must stop the fever asap. Am so sorry for you!

It would break my heart

6:00 am

grannyrose

chumps?

6:01 am

6:01 am

Soodle

Lynn, I think you know my kids very well..........

6:01 am

lynxxx

6:02 am

herinfernallady

Jaq did that info help you?

6:02 am

jacq

well i don't know because we have no idea where, he was in the military mostly based in the uk and he was a fisherman with a girlfriend in every port by all accounts lol

6:03 am

jacq

yes it did herin ty, we are organising changing phone companies

6:03 am

jacq

but... it may be a moot point my boyfriend (sounds silly at 44) has asked me to move in with him

6:03 am

Nancy Boy

Morning, all - I see we're discussing sisters! No matter what the rest of my family is like, I have the best little sister in the world

6:04 am

6:04 am

6:04 am

Nancy Boy

heyyy, Jac :) and congratulations!! are you considering it?

6:05 am

herinfernallady

Hi NB

6:05 am

lynxxx

so we know who Jacq is going to use as her perfect partner!

6:05 am

herinfernallady

O Jac and?

6:05 am

jacq

perfect LOL he is far from perfect but he tries and we love each other

6:05 am

Nancy Boy

talking to her is very difficult, but she is the only member of my family who doesn't care that I'm gay. She has saved me a broken heart! ;)

6:05 am

sprite

let us know what you decide!

6:05 am

Soodle

Jac, thats great. Good for you. Hi Nancy (())

6:06 am

jacq

i need to sort something out about my house, if i move in here then i have to give up my house and that would make the teenagers and the baby homeless

6:06 am

grannyrose

yay, jacq, grab the nettle hard, and it doesn't hurt so much. you go for it, girl!!!!

6:06 am

lynxxx

Did they come back?

6:06 am

sprite

your little sister is the only other sane person in your family then, Nancy Boy :) And wise too.

6:07 am

jacq

they never left, it was an idle threat they went away for one night

6:07 am

lynxxx

what teasers!

6:07 am

jacq

i know!!!

6:07 am

sprite

not an easy decision then, jacq.

6:07 am

Nancy Boy

Hey Soodle :)

6:08 am

Nancy Boy

Jac, that puts you in a difficult position. How old are they?

6:08 am

jacq

i am looking into my options, i can assign my tenancy, but it's complicated and is down to one person to decide

6:08 am

jacq

my daughter is a young 19, her boyfriend is 18 and the baby is 2 (and she is in pants now, no more nappies)

6:09 am

jacq

so she says she's not a baby now

6:09 am

sandyloo

quite a scary decision jac

6:09 am

herinfernallady

NB who drew your pic?

6:09 am

sprite

she is right, lol, smart kid. But still awfully small.

6:10 am

jacq

she's as cute as a button in her wee jeans and no nappy bump, nothing stays up

6:10 am

Soodle

thats a tough call, Jac. Would they be able to fend for themselves?

6:11 am

sandyloo

jac, when mine were like that I got some funky braces for their jeans

6:11 am

jacq

yes i think they would, but they need to grow up a little, they are both spoiled, she was my youngest and he is the only boy in a family that values boys highly

6:12 am

sprite

maybe they grow up faster when they have to take care of themselves... would you be very far away from them?

6:12 am

jacq

i have looked for braces for her sandy but haven't found any cute enough yet

6:12 am

sprite

are braces the things that go over the shoulders?

6:13 am

jacq

i would be about 500 yards from them lol, unless angus decides to buy the steading he has been looking at then i will be about 6 miles from them and uphill

6:13 am

Soodle

I have always told my daughters that my baby days are over, and if they procreate, they are on their own.....But I often wonder what I would actually do if that ever happened.....

6:13 am

lynxxx

yes Sprite

6:13 am

sprite

thanks lyn

6:14 am

jacq

oh soodle, i love being a granny, but with them living with me i think it alowed them to forget they are parents at times and they are out everynight because granny is staying in anyway

6:14 am

sprite

sounds like they would have a place to go to if they were in bad trouble then... Still, not an easy decision at all.

6:14 am

sandyloo

yes they are sprite, and Soods , I share that thought

6:14 am

sprite

thanks sandy

6:15 am

Soodle

That would be my fear exactly, Jacq. I did my bit for the human race (baby-wise)!!

6:15 am

jacq

leaving them to fend for themselves isn't a hard decision, leaving kait is a hard one, i adore being there in the mornings, but hate being taken advantage of

6:15 am

sandyloo

Mine too

6:15 am

lynxxx

I seem stuck on 25 so will leave it for the night. Bye all

6:15 am

sprite

one of my friends always said the same thing. The moment the baby was there she agreed to have the baby one day every week. The baby has a little sister now, my friend has them both one day a week and is totally in love with both.

6:15 am

jacq

i have told them both that if it were just them i would have kicked them out long ago, but would never do that to kait

6:15 am

sandyloo

I like them when they are old enough for me to get them a pony and teach them to ride

6:16 am

grannyrose

nite lyn, sleep well, hun

6:16 am

jacq

nite lynxxx

6:16 am

sprite

but they would not leave kait alone if you were gone, would they?

6:16 am

sprite

night lyn, sweet dreams

6:17 am

jacq

no, never

6:17 am

Soodle

The only exception I have made to my rule is......I still want to adopt Nancy Boy......

6:17 am

EspritdJean

greetings peeps

6:17 am

sprite

nancy boy, you are easily old enough to learn to ride :)

6:17 am

sprite

hi EdJean

6:17 am

jacq

they are good parents and adore her, they would never ever leave her alone, and they are very fussy about babysitters

6:17 am

jacq

lol

6:17 am

Soodle

Hi Jean, and bye Lynn

6:18 am

jacq

hello Jean

6:18 am

EspritdJean

hi hi

6:18 am

Nancy Boy

lol Soodle! I'm 20 now; is that still possible?!

6:18 am

jacq

lol

6:18 am

herinfernallady

Jaq that is because Grannys are the best baby sitters :D

6:18 am

herinfernallady

NB who drew your pic?

6:18 am

sprite

well, then if you would leave, you would restoring the 'normal' situation where the parents take care of their child and the grandma comes to visit or has the grandchild stay over for a couple of days ;)

6:18 am

Soodle

A virtual adoption! (Not to be confused with a virgin birth) LMAO!!!

6:19 am

sandyloo

good artist there NB

6:19 am

sprite

:D Nancy is adopted by the babble family for sure.

6:19 am

sandyloo

OMG i had four virgin births

6:19 am

jacq

yes it would be the natural order, but not if leaving makes them homeless, the housing situation here is pathetic and the nearest homeless place suitable for a child is in aviemore, and since it's holiday season even that is out

6:19 am

Nancy Boy

that would be the handiwork of my flatmate, Frank - done over the past three years!

6:20 am

NonoNanette

good morning Babblers :)

6:20 am

NonoNanette

bye Sandy

6:26 am

EspritdJean

I should think they would be pleased!

6:26 am

EspritdJean

maybe they have "seen the light"

6:26 am

sprite

you are a hero, Nancy Boy. We go with you and give them a piece of our minds... that should help ;)

6:26 am

Nancy Boy

Maybe at first, but once I tell them just why my parents told them I was dead, I guess less so. I just have no idea whether they'll accept me or not. Honestly, I'm terrified!

6:27 am

Nancy Boy

lol Sprite, thank you :)

6:27 am

EspritdJean

don't be terrified. You are a beautiful, decent human and they should treasure you

6:27 am

sprite

you are a precious person, no matter what they will say. Remember that.

6:27 am

sprite

snap, Jean :)

6:28 am

EspritdJean

that's all any family should think about

6:28 am

sprite

very true

6:28 am

EspritdJean

and if they have other ideas, give them this

6:28 am

Nancy Boy

well thank you both :) I leave on the 20th!

6:31 am

6:31 am

jacq

ow wow ruby, thats great news

6:31 am

Soodle

So, are they going to charge the man, Rubes?

6:32 am

NonoNanette

at the very least the man should be made to pay all medical bills and that doesnt cover the emotional damages at all

6:32 am

rubyfoo

I don't know yet, but Animal Control is going to check the dog for rabies and the mayor wants it put down! I met with her and the police this morning and they actually went door-to-door!

6:33 am

Nancy Boy

They can't put it down!! Tell them they can't put it down :(

6:33 am

rubyfoo

The dog will probably be put down because he ate the chunk he bit off, and dogs like that can't be rehabilitated!

6:33 am

herinfernallady

Ruby what sort of dog?

6:33 am

jacq

NB, don't let anyone judge you for being you, you are a good person, remember that no matter what happens and you are loved

6:33 am

rubyfoo

it is a beauceron, a recognized cross between German shepherds and dobermans

6:34 am

sprite

true, jacq. If my son turns out as beautiful (inside I mean now) as Nancy Boy, I will be very proud indeed.

6:34 am

rubyfoo

very large and dangerous if not carefully raised. It is too late for this one and he is too great a danger to everybody, especially children

6:34 am

Soodle

Did the owner come forward, or was he caught, Ruby?

6:34 am

rubyfoo

they can't be raised in a household with other dogs, which they kill!

6:35 am

Nancy Boy

((Jac)) thank you :) and thank you all, as well, for your faith in me!

6:35 am

rubyfoo

husband is very happy, but still very unsteady

6:35 am

jacq

is he home from the hospital yet ruby?

6:36 am

herinfernallady

Then sadly the dog needs to be put down. A dog like that is as dangerous as a loaded gun. My friend has trained guard dogs and they will bail you up but not bite. One of the vets hurt her dog trying to see what was wrong with her and the vet got a faceful of teeth and then teh dog went CRAP not meant to do that

6:36 am

rubyfoo

the police searched for him this morning, after we gave them a more precise location of where the attack occured. They knocked on all the doors with the photo of the breed I had given them and I think the man admitted it.... I'll see when the gendarmes arrive, possibly with the man!

6:36 am

EspritdJean

I missed the story, did the dog attack your husband?

6:36 am

sprite

very good, rubyfoo. How do you feel now?

6:37 am

rubyfoo

he came home on Saturday, but the wound keeps bleeding and they can't close it because there is no flesh there

6:37 am

Nancy Boy

but the owner shouldn't have let go of the lead!

6:38 am

sprite

Nancy Boy, that is so very true. The owner is the bad guy. But now that the dog has eaten human meat... I am afraid it is a bit late to retrain it :(

6:38 am

herinfernallady

The only other option is to rehouse the dog with a trained security dog handler and who is to say that the dog isn't mental any way

6:38 am

rubyfoo

Jean, I have been monopolizing the chat and I'm really sorry for that, but, yes, husband was attacked on his regular, 5X/wk walk, in our village, on the road parallel to ours. He did nothing to provoke the dog and the owner dropped the leash when the dog lunged at and brought down my husband and bit him twice

6:38 am

Atalante

and sometimes you can't help let go of the lead. Hobbit can pull free sometimes and I hold very tightly and she's only a small cocker

6:38 am

Nancy Boy

well Cheryl Cole bit a bouncer and SHE'S still with us.

6:39 am

EspritdJean

how serious were the bites? (where)

6:39 am

jacq

LOL NB

6:39 am

Soodle

Hello Ata

6:39 am

sprite

bite, Nancy Boy, or actually eat?

6:39 am

jacq

heya ata

6:39 am

sprite

hi Ata :)

6:39 am

rubyfoo

yes, we realize that, but if the owner can't control his own large dog, then he shouldn't have it in the street.

6:39 am

Nancy Boy

but that is so unfair. I hope they don't put the dog down :(

6:39 am

jacq

and it should have been muzzled

6:40 am

EspritdJean

they will have to NB

6:40 am

jacq

NB they may have to, a child would not have stood a chance against a big dog like that

6:40 am

EspritdJean

at least here in the states they would

6:40 am

rubyfoo

you are welcome to come and adopt it, but please take it out of our village as there are many small children here and it is a menace!!!

6:40 am

sprite

but Hobbit would never bite somebody just walking by, Ata.

6:40 am

rubyfoo

I am amazed and thrilled that the police went to so much trouble and that they found it!!!!

6:41 am

Atalante

oh no, just saying that sometimes it's pretty darn imposible to hold on to a dog, let alone a large one. He shouldn't have had the dog if he couldnt control it

6:41 am

herinfernallady

Nancy I am sorry but I see both sides. Having had someone that has two trained dogs and seeing how they are trained it is different. She rehoused a very agro dog with a proper dog trainer but the stipulation was destroy the dog if it fails the health test

6:41 am

jacq

my dog once bit the milkman, there was a shadow outside the door and it was there for a long time, about ten minutes, so i opened the door and the dog flew out and bit his leg

6:41 am

rubyfoo

Hobbit would probably just go and give kisses!

6:41 am

jacq

i went to see if he was ok after i brought the dog in but he didn't want to talk about it or tell me why he was standing in my garden for ten minutes

6:42 am

Atalante

she would *facepalm*

6:42 am

sprite

I think they had to, rubyfoo. Nobody wants this kind of attacks to happen. If next it would have been a child, there would have been hell to pay for the police too.

6:42 am

Nancy Boy

"destroy", they're animals, not objects!

6:42 am

rubyfoo

I can understand a dog biting if his territory or owner is threatened. I'm sure my Ruby would defend me to the death. But an unprovoked attack like that just indicates a crazy, out-of-control dog.

6:42 am

herinfernallady

So you would be happy to have a very dangerous dog untrained then Nancy you are more than welcome to it.

6:43 am

jacq

brb washing machine really finished now

6:43 am

Atalante

you can destroy animate objects, and unfortunately society generally values children's lives over animals

6:43 am

rubyfoo

and probably a=n irresponsible owner who, husband said, looked crazy

6:43 am

sprite

that is cover-up language to keep feelings out of it, nancy boy, alas. Like they say 'eliminate the target' and not 'kill the person'.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

the mayor is demanding that it be killed!

6:44 am

Nancy Boy

but it's not fair; I'm sure it can be trained!

6:44 am

Atalante

does the owner just have it as a pet? or a guard dog / working dog / fighting dog?

6:44 am

rubyfoo

you can't have an animal like that

6:44 am

herinfernallady

Look I am all for the dog being rehoused with a trainer but who is to say that the dog is completely mental. My friend how dearly loves dogs had no choice but to put down a rescue Staffie as he was insane

6:44 am

rubyfoo

we don't have any details yet, but when the gendarmes come, I will know more

6:45 am

sprite

let us know, rubyfoo

6:45 am

Soodle

Sorry NancyBoy, but I'm with the others on this one. The dog's owner is clearly not fit to own such a dog. A small child may not have survived an attack.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

this is not an area with sophisticated services like re-training a "bad" dog.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

and this dog probably weighs about 90 lbs

6:46 am

rubyfoo

or a small woman (like me hahah)

6:46 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I think you and yours did the right thing if they are going to destroy the dog it is proper as teh dog is likely suffering mentally

6:46 am

rubyfoo

it is wonderful how everybody in the village got involved immediately!

6:47 am

Nancy Boy

that's only 20lbs or so less than me! Big dog. But, so sad :(

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I am sure the police and control people will make a correct decision.

6:47 am

sprite

very sad indeed.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

you can't be sentimentyal about a dog that would bite a big chunk out of a grown man and eat it!

6:48 am

rubyfoo

it's not up to me

6:48 am

rubyfoo

and I only weigh about 95 lbs

6:48 am

herinfernallady

Ruby if my friends dog attacked they very very very quickly back off. The dog and the man is a menace and he should never be allowed a pet not even a goldfish

6:48 am

Atalante

it's incredibly sad, and really the owner deserves puttin g down more than the dog. but at the same time, the dog has become a public safety issue

6:48 am

sprite

it is sad that a dog has been treated in a way to make it do that, rubyfoo, or that the dog has been crazy and not taken to a vet.

6:49 am

sprite

*seconds Ata*
I'd love a few minutes with the owner ;)

6:49 am

rubyfoo

I think the man may go to jail, at least temporarily, and they will certainly take the dog away from him

6:49 am

Atalante

me too!

6:49 am

rubyfoo

so would my husband!!!!

6:49 am

herinfernallady

Ata how is your fur brats?

6:49 am

sprite

I would not mind sharing that moment with you, Ata

6:49 am

sprite

he'd be welcome to watch the show then, rubyfoo :)

6:49 am

rubyfoo

babblers unite will take the owner down!!!!

6:50 am

Nancy Boy

I once went to prison over a dog, for a grand five hours. Broke into a car to save the poor thing!

6:50 am

rubyfoo

*poof* and hugs everybody

6:50 am

sprite

good luck rubyfoo

6:50 am

Atalante

they are gorgeous :D both flaked out in the sunshine :D

6:50 am

NonoNanette

bye Ruby

6:50 am

herinfernallady

Loves Ruby

6:51 am

sprite

that is a very good deed, Nancy Boy. I hate owners who leave their dogs in cars. When it is hot, they can die in a very short time.

6:51 am

herinfernallady

I would have too NB

6:51 am

rubyfoo

hi and bye no no. It is cold here and I am trying to keep my still-shocky husband warm! Loves herin, too

6:51 am

herinfernallady

Hi noo

6:52 am

rubyfoo

our first chow chow, Rosie, died in a closed car in Miami when the company driver had picked her up from the groomer and went into the market, so I know about that! Bravo for NB, but this is a very different situation

6:52 am

Nancy Boy

well, that's why I did it. It was the height of summer, the car had no windows open and was parked in full sunshine. I was waiting with that dog for nearly three hours though - it would have died. I hope that owner isn't allowed to have pets anymore.

6:53 am

Nancy Boy

I don't know how professional crims do it though. It's NOT easy to break into a car! That window glass is tougher than I thought :P

6:53 am

herinfernallady

NB that is what those straps on the news papers are for or a car dipstick

6:54 am

sprite

better you don't know, Nancy Boy, lollll, or the temptation might become big ;)

6:56 am

Nancy Boy

sounds like Herin knows...sadly I don't carry those items around with me. Ugh, I'd better get off to work though!

6:56 am

sprite

bye Nancy Boy, good luck

6:56 am

NonoNanette

have a good day NB

6:56 am

funhs

you can destroy animate objects, and unfortunately society generally values children's lives over animals

6:56 am

Nancy Boy

thanks, all :) see you later!

6:57 am

funhs

DID SOMEONE ACTUALLY SAY THIS? WTH?

6:57 am

Atalante

thank you for reposting my message earlier, funhs. Weirdness

6:57 am

funhs

WERE YOU SERIOUS?

6:58 am

sprite

I have this weird blindness for messages in caps, not sure where that comes from

6:58 am

herinfernallady

Yes and I agree

6:58 am

Atalante

*sigh*

6:59 am

herinfernallady

NB my uncle worked for a car emergency repair call out company. One of the things he taught me when you are in striff

6:59 am

sprite

lol Ata *hugs*

herinfernallady

Ata Breath

7:00 am

Nancy Boy

*re-appears* obviously funhs is not trolling, just angry :( why not listen?

7:00 am

Atalante

I'm just rolling my eyes and waiting for JC to come and join in :P

7:00 am

sprite

lol

7:00 am

funhs

if I missed the context I apologize...if not then what is wrong with you people?

7:00 am

NonoNanette

I think you definitely missed the context funhs

7:01 am

sprite

Nancy Boy, wouldn't you prefer a society in which people valued the lives of animals as high as that of children and did all they could for both?

7:01 am

Nancy Boy

Ata. Stifle that, if you will. You are talking about a very dear friend of mine and I resent it.

7:01 am

Atalante

oh dear. so sorry

7:02 am

Atalante

I forgot JC is undiscussable or else you flounce

7:02 am

sprite

the context is in the rest of the chat log, funhs, and you are reading the text of Ata's message the wrong way.

7:02 am

herinfernallady

snort Ata

7:02 am

sprite

that is hardly Nancy Boy's fault, Ata. Let's keep the blame where it belongs, I think.

7:02 am

Nancy Boy

There is no call for it at all. What you call 'discussion' others would term 'bullying'. Why have you retained this prejudice for so many months, against a person you don't even know?

7:03 am

sprite

oh no, we are not going to have this mess all over again. Let's shut up about JC, ok?

7:03 am

Atalante

*just rolls eyes more*

7:04 am

herinfernallady

snorts and this is why people are not babbling any more

7:05 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone, have I walked into a kettle of fish?

7:05 am

Riverdance

is it safe to come in and say Good Morning

7:05 am

NonoNanette

Morning River and Annie

7:05 am

sprite

I hope so, River, and hi Annie too. I wish nobody would start beating that dead horse again.

7:06 am

Riverdance

just reading through the chog - I had no idea about Ruby's husband - OMG - is she doing OK

7:06 am

Nancy Boy

Fortunately I have to go to work anyway. However, I just don't believe there's any call for it, especially against the person who has probably done the most to help me cope these past few months...no call for comments like Ata's. So, I believe you are wrong. That's all.

7:06 am

sprite

she is doing a bit better now that the owner has been found, I think, River

7:07 am

Riverdance

have a good day NB

7:07 am

sprite

good luck at work, Nancy Boy

7:07 am

NonoNanette

take care NB

7:07 am

Anniebrook

bye NB

7:07 am

Riverdance

Wow - the poor man - how devastating for both of them

7:07 am

herinfernallady

NB I am glad that you have had real people support to.

7:07 am

Anniebrook

I was bit by a dog as a child..very frightening

7:08 am

sprite

yes it is a bad blow, River.

7:08 am

Nancy Boy

All people are real.

7:08 am

Riverdance

at his advanced age, he may not recover from this - and that is a huge burden on ruby

7:08 am

sprite

But some you know in the flesh, Nancy Boy, and others are virtual.

7:08 am

Riverdance

I think she meant versus us "virtual" people

7:09 am

sprite

it is quite possible to develop a very strong relation with a virtual person, but it will be virtual until you meat in real life.

7:10 am

Riverdance

I need to email ruby - bbl

7:10 am

sprite

bye Riverdance

7:11 am

Nancy Boy

I think sometimes there is probably a lot to be said for relationships like that. When you don't have to face someone, you can be completely honest, although I worry about being a burden, just like I do with all 'in the flesh' friends.

7:11 am

herinfernallady

NB I mean Real people as in people you talk to on the phone and such

7:12 am

sprite

you are never a burden, Nancy Boy. People can be very different from their virtual personas, I hope you never find that out the hard way. Be blessed.

7:15 am

Nancy Boy

Sometimes those matters are incredibly close to home, Sprite. However, I know I have a friend in him, so I am blessed already :)

7:15 am

sprite

you are blessed in many other ways too, Nancy Boy.

7:18 am

Nancy Boy

Well, none more so than with my friends, I feel :) Though now I really, really must dash. I'm sure Ata will feel happy to come back into the chat once I leave. *poof*

7:18 am

7:48 am

sandyloo

it must be like the weight of the world is lifted off you

7:48 am

Riverdance

he needs to build up his endurance again - tires easy but sitting on the coach for 6 weeks will do that

7:48 am

Riverdance

Its a HUGE relief

7:49 am

sandyloo

lol sitting on his coach!

7:49 am

Riverdance

he will always have to be concerned with his heart - been dealing with that since birth

7:50 am

7:54 am

i used to do homecare and one of my ladies had crones, she was 87 and still going strong

7:55 am

jacq

maybe that isn't a comfort, but i hope it helps

7:55 am

that is good to hear jac, crones is a disease which varies greatly from individual to individual

7:56 am

jacq

yes it is, she had been in and out of hospital a lot but had 4 kids and eventually went to go live with her daughter when she hit 90

Hi Red!

9:12 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbs is your hike next weekend?

9:12 am

Scrabbler

It's Saturday! Current weather report shows 74F and 0% chance of rain. I hope it stays that way.

9:13 am

carleekat

that would be lovely hiking weather

9:13 am

Scrabbler

We hiked up the steep hills in the park 3 times yesterday for our final training session.

9:13 am

redturtlehead

thats great about the rain chance.

9:13 am

Scrabbler

I am happy--low 70's or 60's and no rain = ideal.

9:14 am

Scrabbler

When we were in the Adirondack Mtns 2 wks ago and hiked Peaked Mtn (6 mi round-trip; 2900 ft high) it rained and we got soaked although we were cool.

9:15 am

redturtlehead

it makes a difference, the temp. I ran today at 78 degrees and thought the world had improved greatly.

9:15 am

Scrabbler

And it will get cooler as we ascend the mtn.

9:16 am

lbdawger

hi carlee

9:17 am

Scrabbler

Hi lbd. That was wild in LetterBlox last night. Feather sucked me right in to that new game and I was quickly addicted.

9:17 am

Scrabbler

I have 4 blank tiles still, incl that R

9:17 am

lbdawger

yeah, it is fast and it sure can make one feel stupid!

9:18 am

lbdawger

alternate spelling of peel as in citrus outer coating

9:18 am

Scrabbler

Feather is fast + furious in the game!

9:18 am

Scrabbler

TY, lbd

9:18 am

carleekat

ok...well off to work on this stupid swmming pool again... cuall later

9:18 am

lbdawger

9:20 am

Scrabbler

The lone N and the U elude me.

9:22 am

lbdawger

na** a word was spoken

9:23 am

lbdawger

9:23 am

redturtlehead

I have a blank R and 44 left. SO wish I did not have a hair appointment... I would prefer to go to sleep....

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Hm, not udye, LOL

9:24 am

Scrabbler

get your hair done + then you can sleep.

9:24 am

lbdawger

oh posh, un + that word minus the e

9:24 am

redturtlehead

Well, the hair thing will take 2-3 hours, then it will be almost time for work...

9:24 am

Scrabbler

Why so long? I go to the walk-in places and am done in 15 min for $13.95.

9:25 am

Scrabbler

TY, dawg

9:25 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbler, I imagine you do not get your hair dyed and then highlighted, then the cut etc.

9:26 am

redturtlehead

but I bet I can sleep at some point while it sets.....under a nice warm blower.

9:26 am

Scrabbler

Nope, I have salt + pepper hair, do not dye or highlight. I am a simple, low maintenance chick. Don't blow dry. No jewelry except necklace with evergreen symbol.

9:27 am

redturtlehead

I don't blow dry but my hair has been gray since I was 22. so I dye. In a few years I will probably give that up, and be a stunning silver, but for now....silver is a little too aging.

9:28 am

Scrabbler

I started greying in mid 30's, dyed x 1 yr then said, "Heck with this."

9:29 am

redturtlehead

It's a little odd, but at age 22...I was not aboutt o go gray and now I like the highlights. Since I only do it 2 times a year, its no biggie. Just did a bit much this morning...

9:34 am

Scrabbler

My younger sister would have been totally white/grey in her 20's so she dyes. I am lucky to have the salt + pepper pattern.

9:34 am

redturtlehead

Salt pepper sounds very nice.

9:34 am

Scrabbler

It makes me much more mature....NOT

9:35 am

ardilla

finally halfway done

9:35 am

redturtlehead

Funny!

9:35 am

lbdawger

looks can be deceiving! lol

9:35 am

lbdawger

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

6:18 pm

Nancy Boy

Haha, I notice it's in there that allowances should be made if your other half steals your favourite hat...obviously this list cannot account for the amount of clothing I tend to claim during the course of a relationship.

6:19 pm

Jellen

I'm okay...forgot a car appointment...and didn't get anything else done, but I'm upright!

6:19 pm

No no, I jest ;) how are you??

6:28 pm

Jellen

Umm, NB, I gather you are supposed to eat every day...

6:28 pm

riemann

How about a compromise: I'll come down at a high rate of speed and you get SK#1 to play in the street?

6:28 pm

stidmama

6:28 pm

6:33 pm

Nancy Boy

6:34 pm

Jellen

6:36 pm

Jellen

No, stid...

6:36 pm

Younger stidkid needed a VERY short haircut for the play that opens this week... it's um... _short_

6:48 pm

lbdawger

6:48 pm

Minveryork

Bye 72 Temple Owl! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

stidmama

military short.

6:50 pm

lbdawger

6:50 pm

stidmama

in two years he has gone from shoulder length curly hair to military short. all for his theatrical endeavors

6:50 pm

anneadams10

I'm too new and cheap to have stats, could anyone tell me how many words there are total?

6:50 pm

lbdawger

what play is he in?

6:50 pm

riemann

But the play runs, what, 2 weeks? He'll need another before it's done.

6:50 pm

lbdawger

120, anne

6:50 pm

stidmama

ty

6:51 pm

lbdawger

what fun! i'm so glad he's out there strutting his talents

6:52 pm

stidmama

his hair grows fast, like mine -- an inch a month or so. By the time school starts it won't be so alarmingly short.

6:54 pm

lbdawger

well, it's not like he hasn't had short hair before, just looked at your family pick again.

6:54 pm

stidmama

I am very ne 4/4 to the finish line so to le 4/5 a hand to those not done yet here is a story of clues.When I first started babbling, I thought the game was so ne 4/4. But I said I would not pay a ce 4/5 to upgrade. I knew I could enjoy the babble cr4/9 for free. Plus I'm wa4/10 of paying for anything online. But then I told myself I work hard for a living, I ea 6/21 the right to become a pro-babbler. So I made a de4/5 in my wallet and paid the 14 dollars&95 ce5/12 to upgrade to pro I cannot de4/7 it,I'm addicted to Babble.Hubby could not believe his ea4/4 when I told him that I upgraded to pro. He we4/8 ballistic and ra 4/4ed about what a waste of money it was. He ra 5/10 a lot though and I ignore it.Sometimes I wa4/8 to kick him in the re4/4 I know hubby doesn't care about the money, he gets made because Babble gets in the way of keeping the house ti4/7 and other things that ne4/5 taking care of. My story en4/5 here. Hubby came insi4/5 and wa 5/18 the computer so I will surre4/5er it to him. I ne 4/5 to take a shower anyway. Not sure if I'll be back later on tonight. I am feeling a little we 5/22 tonight.

I am back from supper. tom and the elder stidkid and I rolled summer rolls (again) and ate them... well some. we left a few for the younger stidkid.

10:27 pm

Jellen

Hi, stid

10:27 pm

stidmama

hey jellen. (((hugs))) how are you feeling today?

10:28 pm

stidmama

I didn't actually ask you earlier... *bad friend look*

10:28 pm

Jellen

Tired...long night last night...

10:30 pm

stidmama

I am sorry Jellen. Did you get to watch your movie this evening? I so enjoy mysteries...

10:31 pm

Jellen

Yes, I did...quite good...

10:32 pm

stidmama

I think that watching a movie is one of the nicest things. I gave up movies and TV shows mostly this past year. I am determined this coming year that I shall watch at least two evenings a week, just to have an enforced break from the mental madness.

10:32 pm

Jellen

Unfortunately, I have to order the rest of the series on disc...The first few were available to watch on my computer...

10:32 pm

Minveryork

Hi stidmama! How are you? Welcome back to the grid!

10:32 pm

stidmama

Since I can't read as much as I used to, I think it will be necessary.

10:32 pm

m9f9l

hi all! what's the mystery?

10:32 pm

Jellen

Wise resolution!

10:32 pm

stidmama

I watched an Inspector Lynley mystery tonight...

10:33 pm

Jellen

Yes, on netflix

10:33 pm

m9f9l

ah! we're still on our NCIS kick..

10:33 pm

stidmama

I saw that there are four seasons of the David Suchet Hercule Poirot mysteries at costco ($25 a season). I am SO tempted to get them.

10:34 pm

stidmama

netflix is so nice. I like that one simple fee and you can access via mailed disk or online.

10:34 pm

stidmama

I have never watched NCIS, it looks intriguing though

10:34 pm

Jellen

Love David Suchet

10:35 pm

m9f9l

ah agatha christie! good stuff

10:35 pm

stidmama

me too. He is -- FABULOUS. *sigh* such depth and believability

10:36 pm

TeaNCrackers

stidmama

10:56 pm

TeaNCrackers

Minveryork

I am here stidmama. Trying to multi-task on the web.

11:03 pm

stidmama

ah, I don't multi-task well... (obviously) decided to check facebook. it's nrkii's birthday!

11:04 pm

Minveryork

FaceBook is my next stop. Right now I am on my email

11:06 pm

stidmama

need any more help peach? I am about to turn into a pumpkin...

11:07 pm

Minveryork

I am here too gapeach1066 if you need help. There is a story of clues in profile too if needed gapeach1066.

11:07 pm

stidmama

ah, Min's stories are worth an hour of "live" clues!

11:07 pm

TeaNCrackers

I'm here!

11:07 pm

TeaNCrackers

If you turn into a pumpkin, we could have pumpkin pies!

11:08 pm

stidmama

hey Tea. So when I grow up... LOL

11:08 pm

stidmama

hey! we had several squash-type plants volunteer in our garden this year, seeds must have overwintered in the compost. I think we have a couple pumpkin plants as well. if they ever stop dropping off the vines...

11:10 pm

TeaNCrackers

interesting! we are going to attempt vegetable gardening next year. we are planning

11:10 pm

stidmama

oh, I am so happy and excited about the gardening class... even if all I do is follow the lead of the other teachers, I will be gardening! *bounce bounce* all of a sudden ten weeks of four hours in the car doesn't seem so awful.

11:10 pm

TeaNCrackers

I want potatoes, this kids want carrots we have to decide on what else. we don't have a big spot

11:12 pm

stidmama

potatoes are generally easy to grow, remember that any soil that has had a nightshade family plant (eggplant, potato, tomato, peppers) should NOT have another nightshade member for about 4 years. crop rotation is important.

11:13 pm

stidmama

carrots actually can do nicely in planter boxes, there are some cute globe types that are easy to grow and fun to eat.

11:13 pm

stidmama

peas grow UP and carrots grow down, so can intercrop. Same with beans and squash.

11:13 pm

Jellen

You're such an earth-mama

11:13 pm

stidmama

cukes can be trained up a trellis also.

11:13 pm

TeaNCrackers

good to know - we have an old sandbox that we are going to fill with topsoil, etc. and plant in that for next year - I'm researching square foot gardening.

11:13 pm

stidmama

square foot gardening is a wonderful idea for small gardens!

11:14 pm

stidmama

be sure to know which plants want sun, which want shade, and plan accordingly. Many plants like morning sun, afternoon shade.

11:14 pm

stidmama

in your climate, possibly more plants will appreciate shade or "part sun"

11:15 pm

TeaNCrackers

the spot gets good, mostly full afternoon sun and is shaded most of the morning

11:15 pm

stidmama

also, check the pH requirements -- a few plants want soil that is MUCH more sour than the norm, most common garden plants can use the same soil though.

11:15 pm

TeaNCrackers

the sandbox is huge - it is 8' x 10'

11:15 pm

stidmama

that should be a great location. DO invest in drip irrigation... must better than spraying water because it goes straight to the roots and doesn't evaporate so fast.

11:16 pm

stidmama

oh! kids LOVE marigolds (tagetes spp), calendula are also fun to grow (those are what the english call marigolds)

11:17 pm

TeaNCrackers

and aren't marigolds good to keep bugs away?

11:17 pm

stidmama

yes, they have that reputation.

11:17 pm

TeaNCrackers

I think we are going to do the veggies around the edges and flowers in the center since they won't need as much attention

11:17 pm

stidmama

nasturtiums also generally grow well... and the seeds are edible

11:18 pm

stidmama

sunflowers, of course!

11:18 pm

TeaNCrackers

midget ones!

11:18 pm

stidmama

:-D

11:19 pm

stidmama

okay, I have to head out... I LOVE gardening with younger kids. IF I can find the title of the book I used with my boys I will send it to you. It was SUCH a great book for ideas as well as a good (enough) story.

11:20 pm

stidmama

Have a lovely evening, Tea! And Min! And Peach! and all! *poof*

11:22 pm

Minveryork

Since nobody is asking for clues, I am heading out too

11:22 pm

Minveryork
