i set the camera up and all but stidkid #2 actually took that pic

3:05 am

Christine

m9f91 - looked at your blog, then at the other blog that told of your friend Steph (concoluted sentence?) and .... what happened to her children, if you don't mind sharing.

3:05 am

westford

no, what happened?

3:05 am

m9f9l

not i

3:05 am

m9f9l

they are back in Virginia....

3:05 am

Christine

With her?

3:05 am

sandyloo

Somebody sent Ata's husband copies of the blogs where she spoke of leaving him and going to America

3:06 am

Cosmo Kramer

help on the AFs pls..

3:06 am

m9f9l

the youngest was actually pulled screaming out of her classroom by police.. the teacher was OUTraged and the other children were freaked out.. terrible...

3:06 am

m9f9l

oh my!

3:06 am

westford

yuck about ata who would do such a thing?

3:06 am

m9f9l

why would someone do that?

3:06 am

Christine

God in heaven, what could she have done, to have her chikldren (and her), treated this way.

3:07 am

City 17 dweller

looking for them now, cosmo, (in between gasping in dismay at the chat log news) ...

3:07 am

sandyloo

Terrible, but she wants to know who did it, she said he knew anyway.... but how vicious is that?

3:08 am

m9f9l

she didn't really do anything... they are technically her half siblings..that she pretty much took care of when they were little (mom's a freak).. and then when they were removed from parents, they gave custody to my friend...

3:08 am

City 17 dweller

af 6/30 ... to do something af**** (over again)

3:09 am

m9f9l

and then after almost 2 years of stability... they decided to yank them back to Virginia.

3:15 am

Christine

m9f91 - I read your post, looked to see your current posting (none) then saw a link to a second blog; being nosy, I clicked, and saw the postings about Steph and the children. If they're ;back in Virginia' does that mean they're with parent or foster parents?

3:15 am

m9f9l

ah! under profile!

3:16 am

sandyloo

she has the email address from whence it came but I haven't seen her on since it happened

3:16 am

Hello, lynxxx. It's not the first time nastiness has happened, is it? Someone has too much time on their hands.

Hello sandyloo and everyone.

3:17 am

they were sent to foster homes, and one was left here in ORegon.. yup.. they split them up.

3:17 am

Christine

Told you, I'm nosy. It's like scrunching to see the title of a book, read by someone on the bus ... gotta know EVerything.

3:17 am

Hi Haz...pity they feel the need to spread their venom here

3:17 am

Christine

Gawd, it gets worse.

3:18 am

Haz1558

The e-mail address was probably false - same as the abusive one that was sent to sprite but made to look as though it had come from me.

3:18 am

sandyloo

A very strange thing to do, and how did they get Ata's husband email?

3:19 am

sandyloo

That thought did cross my mind Haz

3:19 am

I think it crossed a lot of minds

3:20 am

It's not hard, sandy, if you know Ata's real name, google can do the rest.

rubyfoo

doesn't want to appear too anxious

3:40 am

Atalante

looool absolutely ruby

3:40 am

Christine

It's about 9:0am in UK, so I guess he's not done with the doctor, yet.

3:40 am

westford

ruby chows are very cat like?

3:40 am

rubyfoo

definitely, like VERY big cats

3:40 am

Christine

Sorry, that was about zooz, not the chowchow.

3:41 am

sandyloo

aaah, difficult to relate when its 4.41pm here

3:41 am

rubyfoo

zooz called the police and said he was seeing his doctor today, so hopefully, he'll be helped, and quickly

3:41 am

sandyloo

Ruby, do you spend a lot of time grooming them or do you send them to the pet parlour?

3:42 am

rubyfoo

the groomers here are all afraid of chows, so I do what little I can but it is an every day chore

3:43 am

sandyloo

Must be a nightmare to bath them

3:43 am

rubyfoo

and although her coat is beautiful at a distance, it has a lot of knots in it and he odor is something only a mother could love!

3:44 am

rubyfoo

we installed a special shower outside, but the weather has been too iffy and husband can't really help. Needless to say, Rubes doesn't really like it

3:44 am

Haz1558

<---------- stands happily in the shower to be washed. Okay, sits down and shivers.

3:44 am

rubyfoo

but do you walk into the living room and shake off all the droplets?

3:44 am

sandyloo

I love long coated dogs but here they would get too many prickles in their coats, the jack russels are fine for us

3:45 am

rubyfoo

you are much better off; I think you have a huge amount to do with horses and being a perfect wife and all that!!

3:45 am

sandyloo

One of our jacks loves the water and if you run a bath and leave the door open she jumps in!

3:45 am

Cosmo Kramer

last 10..
clue for st6/30 anyone?

3:46 am

sandyloo

I must admit, being a perfect wife takes up a lot of time....

3:46 am

Lynxx would have her hands full as well

3:46 am

Haz1558

You need to work on your efficiency, sandy.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I wouldn't know lol

3:47 am

Haz1558

It's one of the factors the judges take into account in the Mrs Perfect Australian Wife contest.

3:47 am

sandyloo

LOL , hmmm, cant comment on any of that

3:47 am

westford

fighter planes make an air st**** cosmo

3:47 am

rubyfoo

that is so cute about the jack and the bath! If Ruby jumped in, the bath would be flooded and she would probably drown!

3:48 am

Christine

Sandyloo - my daughter's cat would paddle in the water, while she took a shower, then "help" her dryoff by licking the drops on her legs.

3:59 am

lynxxx

You are just a lost cause Sandy, not worth my while trying to correct you

3:59 am

Haz1558

She's baking a cake with one hand, ironing with the other and tramping grapes with her feet. She's taking the contest seriously - this is her party piece for the multi-tasking section.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:00 am

sandyloo

We aussie wives are good at that sort of thing

4:00 am

lynxxx

4:00 am

sandyloo

she is trying for that multi tasking section win

4:01 am

Haz1558

OH, poor finger! This gives you a chance to shine in the First Aid section.

4:01 am

Absolutely! You'll have to compete with women rescuing koalas and kangaroos from certain death.

4:02 am

I was practicing my cake baking for my entry into the Royal Show here next month

4:02 am

4:02 am

I feel like I've accomplished something just getting up!

4:02 am

4:02 am

That's my girl! You'll win no problem.

4:03 am

sandyloo

OMG< you are perfect Lynxx - What sort of cake?

4:03 am

Haz1558

I didn't, Ata. Lynxxx would have won if she'd been eligible.

4:04 am

Haz1558

Stretching the truth - there's very little call for that in babble, isn't it a relief?

4:04 am

Atalante

Good morning again, how nice to have a little holiday, sprite.

5:32 am

FMitch

Morning Haz!

5:32 am

herinfernallady

Were you been hiding FM

5:33 am

sprite

hi Haz, yes it will do us good. How are you today? A little more healed up?

5:33 am

Haz1558

Hello FM!

5:33 am

FMitch

Been lurking and working herin.

5:33 am

herinfernallady

Hi Haz

5:34 am

Haz1558

I'm fine, sprite. I'm not allowed to vacuum which is annoying but I've been tidying up.

5:34 am

Haz1558

The sun is shining, so that's always a good thing.

5:34 am

FMitch

LOL no vacuuming, you must be going nuts!

5:34 am

KatieMcG

i've been lurking as well, hello to everyone

5:34 am

sprite

how unusually cruel, Haz

5:34 am

herinfernallady

HI Katie

5:34 am

sprite

hi Katie

5:34 am

Haz1558

Hello Katie.

5:34 am

sprite

can you iron?

5:35 am

lynxxx

perhaps you should send over your housekeeper FM?

5:35 am

herinfernallady

Gees I want to have a legitimate excuse not to vacuum

5:35 am

lynxxx

hi Katie

5:35 am

Haz1558

I know, but even I realise it wouldn't be a good idea just yet. I'll get one of the girls to do it later.

5:35 am

Haz1558

But yes, I can iron.

5:35 am

FMitch

Hi Katie.

Not sure about that lynxxx, last time I loaned Haz a male I never got him back.

5:35 am

sprite

very wise, Haz. Once it is healed, you could have a vacuuming feast.

5:35 am

lynxxx

lol

5:35 am

KatieMcG

*trying to work out how to get ironing to Haz*

5:36 am

sprite

can you drive by and pick mine up too, Katie?

5:37 am

Haz1558

You'll have to sneak it in. I managed to do the ironing while everyone else was out otherwise I might have been scolded.

5:37 am

KatieMcG

no problem sprite I'm sure you are on the way

5:37 am

FMitch

I can see the need for me to set up a babble courier service - weekly ironing collections.

5:37 am

KatieMcG

in fairness Mari has just taken most of mine and my washing, I only have the shorts and trousers left

5:38 am

herinfernallady

Can I have a person kidnap me so I don't have to go to the future MILs tommorrow

5:38 am

Haz1558

It would be not so much a case of washing your dirty linen in public as ironing it in private.

5:38 am

FMitch

umm I'll tell on you Haz, are you not to iron either?

5:38 am

FMitch

lol Haz.

5:38 am

sandyloo

Think I just joined the babble community on facebook , but I dont know anyone except Sprite LOL

5:39 am

Haz1558

Nobody said anything about not ironing so I'll assume it's fine. It wasn't mountains of laundry, honestly.

5:39 am

FMitch

Don't you get on with MiL herin?

5:39 am

herinfernallady

Sandy I am there

5:39 am

sandyloo

sandyloo

what does that mean Herin? I am so dumb at this stuff but I want to learn

5:40 am

5:53 am

Christine

Poor Sandyloo "are you my friend?"

5:54 am

Christine

THRUSH sounds like a fun group - spreading love all over.

5:56 am

sandyloo

5:56 am

Haz1558

Oh, but they were baddies. As bad as bad can be.

5:57 am

lynxxx

The Prisoner! of course TY. I am very excited about it, I loved the original

5:58 am

KatieMcG

used often in work places over here!

5:58 am

sprite

and it is a tie! Haz and FM are neck=to=neck in this incredibly exciting race... keep watching!

5:59 am

FMitch

I didn't like the remake and gave up on it after a couple of episodes.

5:59 am

Haz1558

I like the advert for Pimm's - it's styled to look like those sixties shows.

5:59 am

KatieMcG

I didn't watch the remake

5:59 am

lynxxx

Did you finally warm to the new Doctor FM?

6:00 am

FMitch

Oh yes, hook, line and sinker lynxxx.

6:00 am

lynxxx

6:00 am

KatieMcG

6:00 am

Haz1558

Fickle Mitch?

6:01 am

FMitch

6:02 am

Open University?

6:02 am

6:04 am

FMitch

Back in 5.

6:04 am

lynxxx

for work, not holidays

6:05 am

KatieMcG

I seem to be lynxxx. To be honest my daily journey is so long that I do seem to be in the car an awful lot. I have just ordered my new car so very excited about that!

6:06 am

KatieMcG

At the moment I'm just glad to have a job so don't moan about the travelling any more

6:06 am

Christine

Open University makes me think of Onslow, on Keeping Up Appearances.

6:06 am

KatieMcG

I promise I'm not married to Onslow!!

6:07 am

Haz1558

You'll need to explain how Onslow makes you think of university!

6:07 am

Haz1558

The man was a stranger to grooming, that's for sure.

6:11 am

lynxxx

NCIS - just remembered the show David McCallum from UNCLE is now in - not a bad career span, 50 years

6:12 am

Haz1558

I know, he's kept going. He was in Colditz as well.

6:12 am

lynxxx

born in 1933 - looking pretty good

6:12 am

FMitch

Onslow was in Colditz?

6:13 am

Haz1558

Cheekbones.

6:13 am

KatieMcG

Oh it has started to rain again!

6:13 am

6:13 am

FMitch

*giggle*

6:13 am

Haz1558

He was always the lookout.

6:14 am

KatieMcG

6:18 am

lynxxx

6:18 am

FMitch

Just started reading "The Help" last night much talked about by the US babblers a couple of months ago. Couldn't put it down and read the 1st 6 chapters.

No lynxxx, am happy with the client base I have, it earns me enough to pay the bills and have time off too.

6:21 am

sprite

what kind of book is that, FM?

6:22 am

sprite

sandy, I tried to answeryou on FB but it says you are offline.

6:23 am

FMitch

6:24 am

EspritdJean

FMitch

Hi Esprit

6:26 am

sprite

Haz, not only that, but you can spell 'nearly'

6:27 am

6:27 am

ladycece920

6:28 am

FMitch

I much prefer the smell and feel of a real book.

6:28 am

Haz1558

I've not got one, lynxxx, but can see that it would be useful for holidays. However, I'm an awful one for skimming through books to see the ending - could I still do that?

6:28 am

sandyloo

Looking for him to come on Jean

6:35 am

Haz1558

zooz, there are people on here who use the chat log a lot to vent and rage and moan. You're not one of them, but I'm glad you did yesterday. The fact that you're not a habitual moaner made your words very stark and real yesterday.

6:35 am

sprite

we will hold on to you, zooz. And please share your problems in chat before you start feeling so desperate you don't see any other way out than death. Life can be a bitch, but there will be puppies to make you smile too.

6:45 am

FMitch

Mike even

6:45 am

Trifioso

I didn't want anyone to know it was me that called the cops. Zooz, I apologize if that was over the line, and I am sorry they ate your cake, but I just couldn't sit and not act. I apologize if that upset you.

6:45 am

Haz1558

But did any of them sound good-looking and the right age, FM?

6:45 am

herinfernallady

Zoom I lost a good friend and a dear ''brother'' that is why I care

6:49 am

rubyfoo

nice grid, but less easy than it first appears to be

6:50 am

sprite

zooz, I want to say one more thing: saying what you were doing to yourself here in chat was a very brave thing to do. Opening yourself to our care was too. And letting in the police, eating cake, contacting your doc and deciding to go on, are the bravest of all. *hug*
(end of preaching)

6:50 am

herinfernallady

Oh more than likely not be here tomorrow and the next day have to go to the country

6:50 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear about the loss Herin..but am glad i heard you all yesterday.

9:04 am

JBV

two schools? every day?

9:05 am

Anniebrook

JBV, who is that handsome man in your profile?

9:05 am

Dorens

jbv, the superintendent said it isn't from the new federal money, the state still haven't figured out how to distibute it. and yes, two school every day- wow jbv, is that a relative from italy?

9:06 am

JBV

Annie, that's my father's father - I decided to post his picture since I am devoting most of my time these days to my family project and it goes back to him

9:06 am

Dorens

cool

9:06 am

FMitch

Dorens, such good news, so pleased for you :)

9:06 am

FMitch

Hi all

9:06 am

JBV

he immigrated to NYC in 1905, my father was born here in 1907, but they had to return to Sicily in 1908 when his wife fell ill

9:06 am

NonoNanette

Hi Annie, JBV and FM

9:06 am

JBV

I am now reconnecting with my father's sister (92 years old!) and her children, my cousins, after many years

9:06 am

Anniebrook

JBV, fascinating

9:07 am

FMitch

Just watched a WW2 Lancaster bomber fly overhead, magical.

9:07 am

Anniebrook

hi Nono

9:07 am

zoozzoom

He looks very distinguished

9:07 am

Dorens

yes and handsome too

9:07 am

JBV

I think that's the passport picture

9:07 am

zoozzoom

Lucky you FM..doubt it will come over here

9:07 am

Dorens

thanks fm..

9:07 am

zoozzoom

gonna look anyway

9:07 am

JBV

yes and it's so interesting to see the family characteristics passed down - I have many handsome cousins in Italy who look like him!

9:07 am

Anniebrook

dorens, have you come down to earth yet?

9:08 am

JBV

or maybe his wedding picture - we have many unanswered questions

9:08 am

Dorens

no, probably won't for a week or so, annie

9:08 am

JBV

doren, how many others were rehired in your district?

9:08 am

FMitch

The Battle of Britain fly by is coming right down to the south coast zooz and there is a huge air display at shoreham this weekend inc the Vulcan (my utter fav).

9:09 am

Dorens

i think i'm the only one... and I was the only tenured person who was let go. when they get the federal money sorted out then there may be others.

9:09 am

zoozzoom

i`m not jealous FM..lol

9:09 am

JBV

I'm so happy for you - are you returning with your same tenure status?

9:10 am

zoozzoom

ok i will go back outside to see if i can he4 anything

9:10 am

FMitch

I was lucky enough years ago to go inside the Vulcan before it displayed at RAF Fairford. So may lives ago :)

9:10 am

Dorens

i am indeed ! but also did manage to buy back 35 months (only 8 will count towards post retirement medical, unfortunately)

9:11 am

Christine

JBV - your comment about about family characteristics passed down = do you know the poem called The Family Face?

9:11 am

Anniebrook

FM, I am reading Citizens of London. It is about the courage and determination of the Brits during WWII and the interaction between the UK and the US>

9:12 am

FMitch

Oh that sounds interesting Annie, we were talking earlier about The Help which I bought as a result of babblers talking about it.

9:12 am

JBV

Annie, that sounds very interesting - I'll put it on my list - I have my father's letters from 1943 and 1944 and some are from when he was stationed in England - he had some great experiences with the English

9:12 am

rururocks

oh great news Dorens!

9:12 am

JBV

no Christine, never saw that poem

9:13 am

Dorens

indeed ru! will certainly be celebrating all next week

9:13 am

FMitch

JBV, how wonderful to have your fathers letters from that period!

9:13 am

Anniebrook

It is Citizens of London by Lynne Olson

9:14 am

Anniebrook

JBV, those letters are priceless

9:14 am

rururocks

Now.. if Ken will just buy you that new car..

9:14 am

JBV

yes, FMitch, I've done a big project with them, typed out each one (had to translate some which were in Italian), and created a family "book" for my brother and sister - it's a project still in progress, as I would like to add some narrative and really tell a story

9:14 am

JBV

I have 54 letters

9:14 am

Dorens

:-) he really doesn't need to, ru. i have a nice one of my own.. i'm really a pretty lucky lady

9:14 am

FMitch

My Mother was only a child of 10 when the war started and I remember asking her to tell me stories of the war. her younger sister had never seen or tasted a banana for example.

9:14 am

rururocks

I'm kidding

9:15 am

Dorens

j, you could probably turn this project into a great book
(ru, you are usually kidding, i'm used to it)

9:15 am

FMitch

Hey ruru!

9:15 am

rururocks

Good morning dear FM.

9:16 am

rururocks

How is Haz doing ? recovering?

9:16 am

JBV

I also have his photos of his wartime service - some from England and some from France

9:16 am

FMitch

Haz is doing very well the op was a doddle and she is able to do everything apart from hoover -which of course is driving her mad.

9:17 am

JBV

thanks for the author info, Annie - I will definitely look it up

9:17 am

rururocks

is she compulsive about vaccuuming?

9:18 am

Anniebrook

and ironing

9:18 am

rururocks

wow

9:18 am

Dorens

certainly not the typical babbler, in that respect

9:18 am

FMitch

Haz's house must sparkle as much as The Glittery one I am sure :)

9:18 am

Anniebrook

Haz, are you here? I guess she is ironing. Lol

9:18 am

rururocks

I hate vaccuuming

9:19 am

NonoNanette

ruru, Ninja was indeed a handsome kitty!

9:19 am

FMitch

I don't vaccum or dust.

9:19 am

rururocks

thanks...and unbelievable personality too

9:20 am

rururocks

<--- loves FM

9:20 am

NonoNanette

I bet

9:20 am

FMitch

Annie, she might be having a lie down if she knows what is sensible for her and the recovery after the op.

9:20 am

Dorens

so ruru, you are not merely a dog person... cats too, i didn't know

9:21 am

FMitch

ru - hope I don't disappoint you by fessing that I have a cleaner?

9:21 am

rururocks

I am allergic to cats.. but we had three and I do like all animals in general.. I am truely a dog person

9:21 am

Anniebrook

FM, I am glad she is looking after herself. I must be on my way. Leaving 26 words for later. Bye.

9:21 am

rururocks

rururocks

Scrabs did I tell you they found out why he crashed his car?

9:39 am

Scrabbler

I did far more cardio/aerobic exercise in the winter with XC-skiing + snowshoeing, then added mountain biking, hiking + weight-work in the spring.

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Well, Mel is clearly a disturbed, broken man to be behaving the way he has.

9:40 am

Dorens

why ru?

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Why, Ru?

9:40 am

rururocks

well someone told him his car seemed newish.. and he thought they said Jewish

Scrabbler

Dorens

Warm, sugary treat?

10:10 am

EvaNadine

ahhh!!!
::rips hair out::

time for this gal to ask for a raise. not only do i always end up cleaning up everyones work after them, but in the last year or so, we have gone down 3 staff, leaving me the only tester left on the contract. so basically, im doing the work of 4 people.
*humbug*

10:10 am

NonoNanette

hello, hurshy

10:10 am

jacq

or a warm sugary diabetic

10:10 am

Scrabbler

Is that a joke or a serious question?

10:10 am

jacq

(((nadine)))

10:11 am

Scrabbler

Do it, Eva

10:11 am

zoozzoom

i would ask Eva if i was you..taking liberties if you ask me.

10:11 am

EvaNadine

ive never actually asked for a raise before, so i dont really know how to do it. and ive never been very good at promoting myself.
but this is just ridiculous.

10:12 am

Scrabbler

So many employers do that: squeeze more out of fe5 employees.

10:12 am

Scrabbler

Eva, do you have a Plan B?

10:12 am

EvaNadine

yeah, apparently the title of the last management meting was "budget cuts"

10:13 am

jacq

eva, write out a list of the jobs you do, note which are within your pay bracker and job description and those which are over and above, then email it to them

10:13 am

Christine

Nadine -- in your line of business, and in your area, would you find another job, if they said no?

10:13 am

jacq

thats what my friend did, and it worked for her

10:13 am

EvaNadine

scrabbler. not particularly, but i have considered moving to a different contract within my company -- they have a few closer to home, and my friend/former manager is on one of them, and i know if theres a spot there, she would hire me.

10:13 am

rururocks

um I wouldn't say anything eva.. but let them know you could use help

10:13 am

zoozzoom

well i am sure you are contributing to the cuts by doing four peoples work Eva

10:14 am

jacq

cuts are all well and good but overwork can make you ill and where would they be then

10:14 am

jacq

this needs to be pointed out to them

10:14 am

Scrabbler

Stuck with 86 to go, so time to get ready for bicycling adventure. My friend + I will take a long trek in the country today.

10:14 am

EvaNadine

theyre gonna be hard-pressed when i take time off for my wedding.
tough to get work done when theres no one here to do it.

10:14 am

jacq

58 left and ciggie time

Haz1558

er6 - Latin mistakes. 'Where Romans went wrong'

10:16 am

EvaNadine

i wont be putting my job in danger, but i will make it fairly clear to them that they are putting themselves in a bad position by cutting staff so low here. not only am i good at what i do, but i have been here a long time and have a lot of institutional/historic knowledge that no one else has that will be lost if/when i leave.

10:16 am

flosey

thanks zooz and Haz

10:17 am

flosey

had monkeyed all around it!

10:17 am

zoozzoom

yw

10:17 am

Haz1558

What you mean is, EvaN, you know where the bodies are buried.

10:18 am

zoozzoom

you could try what Ruru advised..see what they got to say.

10:18 am

Christine

Good thinking, EvaNadine ... and you know we'll all be pulling for you. Good luck.

10:18 am

EvaNadine

heh, i guess i do.
but really, i just know the history behind why these applications were designed the way they are, and whether or not some functionalities are now obsolete. theres not a lot of documentation from back in the day, other than inside my head. :)

10:19 am

zoozzoom

which means you are an asset to them Eva..don`t under sell yourself...ask for more help..no shame in that.

10:20 am

Haz1558

What will they do when you're on honeymoon?

10:20 am

EvaNadine

more help or more money. giving me a decent raise would still be a lot cheaper than hiring someone else. and a happy sami is a sami who will stick around. ;)

10:21 am

zoozzoom

excactly

10:21 am

EvaNadine

haz, they have another contract here, and there are 2 testers one that one (one of whom is actually my manager) -- they will cover everything while im gone.

10:23 am

Haz1558

Well, at least you won't have lots to catch up on when you get back.

10:23 am

zoozzoom

time for another cuppa..bbs

10:24 am

stevedallas

how many words today?

10:24 am

Haz1558

233 words today.

10:25 am

EvaNadine

hopefully not, haz. we are working on a big project now that is a complete redesign and integration of several currently-existing applications, so i will miss out on some stuff while im gone, but i should be able to catch up fairly easily.

10:25 am

Haz1558

That's good. How long will you be off work?

10:26 am

flosey

stuck on st6/18, just before the tube you drink through

10:27 am

zoozzoom

st****phere

10:27 am

EvaNadine

not completely decided. at least a few days before the wedding, and i presume a week afterward.

10:27 am

Haz1558

st6 - latin layers

10:27 am

flosey

thanks zooz

10:28 am

flosey

and Haz

10:28 am

Haz1558

You'll get a bit of a break, so that's good.

10:28 am

Haz1558

No problem, flosey.

10:29 am

flosey

sounds like you'll be more than ready for holiday Eva

10:30 am

zoozzoom

i get the feeling you are good with Latin Haz?

10:31 am

Haz1558

5 years of the dear language. I did it for O-levels.

10:31 am

zoozzoom

one language i wished i had learnt more at school.

10:31 am

Haz1558

It's a very good basis for other languages and for learning grammar etc.

10:32 am

zoozzoom

I could not agree more.

10:32 am

Haz1558

Did you ever watch Dead Poets' Society?

10:33 am

Haz1558

There was a laughable part where Sixth Formers were apparently doing first form stuff in Latin.

10:34 am

zoozzoom

i did watch bits on & off but too amny people were here at the time so could not see too much of it...i am sure they all stood on the table at the end or something like that.

10:34 am

zoozzoom

many*

10:34 am

Christine

Was the film set in US? My husband, in his first year in college did work that I had at 14 in UK.

10:34 am

Haz1558

It's interesting to see how some of the boys in that film have grown up to have good film and TV careers. Yes, the bit at the end has them all standing on their desks, swearing allegiance to 'Captain, my captain'

10:35 am

zoozzoom

I am going to rent the film..really must see it.

10:35 am

Haz1558

It was set in the US, Christine, supposedly 1950s private school. I enjoyed it, it just seemed so ridiculous that boys of their age would be repeating things by rote.

10:36 am

Haz1558

Watch out for Ethan Hawke and others who are now in House and the new thing with the former Carol Hathaway from ER, lawyers programme.

10:37 am

Haz1558

(Sitting back and waiting for someone to supply names)

10:37 am

Krysten

I met 2 of the guys in that film while on a school trip to Boston

10:37 am

Haz1558

Do you remember which ones, Krysten?

10:37 am

Jellen

Hello, everyone...

10:38 am

zoozzoom

how did i miss melting ice word..geez

10:38 am

Haz1558

The school looked beautiful and the scenery really lovely.

10:38 am

Haz1558

Hello, Jellen.

10:38 am

zoozzoom

Hello Jellen

10:38 am

Krysten

20 years hasn't done much for my memory...lol

10:38 am

Krysten

I didn't take it very seriously cause the movie hadn't come out...we thought they were just trying to pick us up and were feeding us a story

10:38 am

Jellen

((zooz))

10:39 am

zoozzoom

how are you today Jellen?

10:39 am

Haz1558

So you missed your opportunity to mix with future stars? You'll know better again, Krysten.

10:40 am

Christine

Gawd, it's after 8:30 - time for a shower & a cupopa. See y'all soon.

10:40 am

Jellen

I am okay...nights are rough, but days are getting a little better...

10:40 am

Krysten

Robert Sean Leonard and some other secondary character...and no, I never did learn! I also had an opportunity to get an autograph from Jim Carrey but I blew him off too!

10:40 am

Haz1558

Bye, Christine, see you later.

10:40 am

Jellen

Bye Christine

10:40 am

zoozzoom

I went to a school that looked like that Haz whilst i lived in Oxford, it was not a private school though....closed down now..and decaying badly..such a shame.

10:41 am

zoozzoom

Bye for now Christine.

10:41 am

Haz1558

Must look up Robert Sean Leonard to see what he played.

10:41 am

Jellen

How are you, zooz?

10:41 am

Haz1558

It's a shame when old buildings decay. I know they cost a lot of money but it's horrible when they die from neglect.

10:42 am

Krysten

My girlfriend and I were later able to confirm that we actually met him because he signed her cast.

10:42 am

zoozzoom

I am not too bad thanks for asking Jellen..doasage up waiting to be booked into a hospital...but they reckon it could be a while.

10:42 am

Haz1558

Robert Sean Leonard is the one who's now in House, isn't he?

10:43 am

Krysten

I don't know...don't watch House. Is it good?

10:43 am

Haz1558

I don't really watch it either - just seen bits and pieces. I know hurshy is a great fan, especially of Hugh Laurie.

10:43 am

Jellen

Could you email me sometime, zooz? My address is in my profile...we may have more in common than you realize...

10:44 am

Jellen

I loved Hugh Laurie in the Jeeves and Wooster series...

10:44 am

zoozzoom

I think we do Jellen..and of course i will.

10:44 am

zoozzoom

He plays Dr. James Wilson in house, Haz

10:45 am

Haz1558

Hugh Laurie's a very good actor, Jellen, isn't he? He was well known over here, but of course, it was House in the States which really brought him to attention over there.

10:46 am

Jellen

And Stephen Fry...what a pair of talents!

10:46 am

zoozzoom

i think stephen fry is a hoot.

10:46 am

Haz1558

The Fry and Laurie version of Jeeves and Wooster is really good - no match for the books, but very, very well done.

10:47 am

lmj643

zooz, where did you get your profile pic/vid? it's hilarious!

10:47 am

zoozzoom

love watching QI..not sure if they have that in the states though.

10:47 am

Haz1558

Stephen Fry has the most delicious speaking voice.

10:47 am

zoozzoom

i just googled it lmj643...if you goto my profile you can right click it..and save as :-)

10:48 am

Jellen

I agree, Haz!

10:48 am

lmj643

thanks, it cracked me up

10:48 am

zoozzoom

he is also very good with words.

10:49 am

Haz1558

I fear he'd wipe the floor with us in babble.

10:49 am

zoozzoom

i know he would with me..thats for sure..lol

10:50 am

Jellen

I follow him on Twitter...his posts are for the most part erudite and clever...

10:50 am

zoozzoom

what is the address jellen?

10:51 am

Haz1558

Had he not said that he was abandoning Twitter for a while because he had to write a book and needed to concentrate?

10:51 am

zoozzoom

i supose it would not be that hard to find...but hey

10:51 am

zoozzoom

would be good to see the old posts though.

11:07 am

crosshair

10. Guaranteed to get at least a little something in the sack.

9. If you get tired, wait 10 minutes and go at it again.

8. The uglier you look, the easier it is to get some.

7. You don't have to compliment the person who gave you candy.

6. If you get a stomach ache, it won't last nine months.

4. If you wear your Batman mask, no one thinks you're kinky.

3. It doesn't matter if kids hear you moaning and groaning.

2. Less guilt the next morning.

1. If you don't get what you want, you can always try next door.

A lady walks into a drugstore and tells the pharmacist she needs some cyanide. The pharmacist says, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"

The lady then explains that she needs it to poison her husband. The pharmacist's eyes get big and he says, "I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license. They'll throw both of us in jail and all kinds of bad things will happen! Absolutely notâ€”you cannot have any cyanide!"

The lady reaches into her purse and pulls out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looks at the picture and says, "Ohhhh. Well, now. You didn't tell me you had a prescription...

11:52 am

Dr_God

11:53 am

crosshair

11:53 am

Haz1558

You see that, crossy? It's all your fault.

11:58 am

crosshair

11:59 am

Haz1558

Have you ever been called dangerously funny before?

1:08 pm

stidgmere

Lunch and recess are your favorite subjects at school--just like everyone else.

1:08 pm

jmcnrick

why? if he asked he would want to konw he is that kind of a guy

1:09 pm

stidmama

I am sure he is a lovely person. I would just rather meet him when I am not anticipating another awful grad school year.

1:09 pm

stidmama

LOL Mother! actually art and music were generally my favorites.

1:09 pm

jmcnrick

pththtttttttthh

jmcnrick

who said anything about confronting any one???

1:13 pm

jmcnrick

nm

1:13 pm

m9f9l

telling someone that something on their watch is messed up is not confrontational. it's a service.

1:13 pm

jmcnrick

*gives stiddie chocolate*

1:14 pm

stidmama

shall we meet here first and then go, or should jmc and pini go straight to the casino?

1:14 pm

stidmama

*munches happily on choclit*

1:14 pm

stidgmere

Okay. Meet at restaurant or lobby of hotel. I'm thinking hotel lobby is very pretty and easy to spot each other.

1:14 pm

crosshair

Becca Lorum

Stop Jilly- just keep tellin gme the positive things!

3:37 pm

Jillyjill

Then when he left home I missed him so badly, and the first night out of bootcamp, he called @ 10 PM and said "I thought you might like to have one of those mother-son chats like we used to have". I was pretty choked up!

3:37 pm

Becca Lorum

Oh that is so sweet :o)

just sitting very carefully hoping that the pizza helps the head

4:19 pm

redturtlehead

pizza always helps everything but the waistline.

4:20 pm

featherbee

soda helps too. i swear the paint is triggering me.

4:20 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no, FB! A migraine? I had one several days ago--Saturday, I think.

4:20 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Red

4:21 pm

featherbee

i've been keeping one at bay for days it seems. hasn't gotten quite full blown, just beginning stages, but days of it is getting tiring.

4:21 pm

crosshair

wife and i are trying to recover from summer cold bug..they seem to be the worst;/

4:21 pm

Scrabbler

I went on a bike ride here in the country with a friend. We met at a 200 yr old church that was involved in rescuing slaves in the 19th century.

4:22 pm

featherbee

oh nice scrabs

4:22 pm

Scrabbler

The homes + barns in the area are really old too. A woman gave us a tour of the church when she saw us parking next to the church.

4:22 pm

crosshair

thats wild scrabbs,right near here,we have a historic church it is the oldest wooden church in the area and was first used for free slaves to worships

4:23 pm

Scrabbler

And when we returned her husband was just finishing a ride on one of their horses and we got to pet the horse--so sweet + calm.

4:23 pm

featherbee

i've created a monster here. i put some games on the iphone for the kids, figuring we can use them when out and about and need a distraction. nick LOVES them, and has just now monopolized my phone.

4:23 pm

Scrabbler

What games does Nick play?

4:24 pm

crosshair

you are lucky feathers..here the new -phones are impossible to get

4:24 pm

featherbee

shape builder, it's a puzzle game, and then toddler teasers, where he has to touch the letter/shape that they say, or a sorting one, where he has to sort letters, numbers or shapes.

4:24 pm

featherbee

problem is now when my phone rings, he runs after me saying "i play! i play!"

4:25 pm

featherbee

it did come in handy when i was stuck waiting 10 minutes at lowes for someone to even talk to me at the paint counter.

4:26 pm

crosshair

i have patience for that,in my line of work they expect "sudden service " from me,so i tend to expect it from them

4:26 pm

crosshair

no*

4:26 pm

featherbee

lol, was trying to make sense of that

4:27 pm

crosshair

always remember,if crossy is typing,there is usually a typo involved

4:27 pm

featherbee

it was annoying, esp. as two employees were helping one customer. guess it was something tricky. ah well, i got my paint, it all worked out. and nick was absorbed in the game.

4:27 pm

redturtlehead

can I get a hint for the I on the left hand column??

4:27 pm

redturtlehead

I got it thanks.

4:27 pm

featherbee

would have been nice if they had at least acknowledged me though.

4:27 pm

Scrabbler

Lowe's + Home Depot customer svc is not ideal.

4:28 pm

Scrabbler

Is it IKEA, Red?

4:28 pm

featherbee

lol, ikea

4:28 pm

crosshair

we do not have lowes here,for all that stuff it is usually canadian tire stores for us

4:28 pm

4:29 pm

So you can give Nick tickets worth 5 or 10 min of time on the iPhone. He gets only a set # daily and loses them for bad choices.

4:29 pm

Hi Owl!

I have been entertained this summer by a pair of hummingbirds here in my back yard--they play chase games, hide+seek, do dive bomb practice, and they make little chirping sounds.

4:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

well now you can really enjoy it.

4:35 pm

Dorens

last week i was at the shore with my friend... we went bike riding, i fell off my bike trying to stop, and ended up with three stitches in my elbow of all places

4:35 pm

4:35 pm

Dorens

4:35 pm

Scrabbler

Doren!

4:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

you are lucky you did not break it

4:36 pm

I have hummer feeders in front + back, but I get more entertainment back here. Sometimes they hover right in front of me.

4:36 pm

no doctor, scrabs,

4:40 pm

Scrabbler

If you are not improving soon, Owl, see a doc, please.

4:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

scrabs, remember last time they said if sinus they don't treat it?

4:42 pm

Scrabbler

I am more worried that you have "walking pneumonia" or pertussis.

4:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

don't think pneumonia; not prone to that type of thing

4:43 pm

Scrabbler

A cold is a viral sinus infection and should resolve after 10-14 days. Bacterial sinusitis is suspected if these symptoms last more than 2 wks.

Spots do show up on lungs but can dissappear too (left over infections etc). Machines are so good nowadays they show up the smallest things. Too early to be over concerned

We have had a 'bumper crop' of butterflies this year. In our back garden, there are plants which have been decimated by caterpillars, which have now all grown into butterflies. We have a shrub called a 'butterfly bush' and it looks as if it is alive, with all the butterflies on it. Really special!

10:11 pm

Minveryork

Hello hpb! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle!

10:11 pm

Minveryork

Gr 5/14ings all babblers! I gave up on the grid so now I can wr5/18 a story of clues. It aw4/8 me how some babblers can finish big grids in just hours. Ha 4/5 off to those talented babblers! Sometimes Babble just ea 4/4 up my day and nothing else is done.I started this grid at flip & found half of the words. Then I woke up this morning and got a fr5/18 start on grid & I found some more words. I have 176 words so5/16,but I had fe5/24 hours to do grid because I was very busy and did not have much fr4/7 time. I won't fr4/7 over not finishing the grid. I agr4/6 with other babblers in th 4/5 babbling should be fun and not stressful. I do not ta4/8 it too seriously when I don't finish grid.I will be fr5/16 tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to finish the grid. I'm usually the fr6/27 on the weekends because I don't have to work. Babbling time may be cut short because husband & I had a he 5/12 to he 5/12 about my babbling time. We usually get into really he 4/5ed arguments over Babble,but not this time.I can tell he is about ready to tell me to take a hi 4/9 because of all of the hours I spend on computer & the non-hours I spend cleaning house. Don't want to hi4/5 someone to do it, so I need to do it. Now I can he 4/5 husband waiting for me to watch a movie.I'm going to get out of this hard se4/4 and go sit on the so4/7 so 4/7 and go watch a film which st 4/4s Morgan Freeman. I will not be back here for the re 4/4 of the night. I will st 5/10 babbling again tomorrow. Goodnight babblers!

10:12 pm
