12:37 am

jillibus

yes, Christine -- don't you check the themes? They're posted in my bio and of course in Sprite's -- and now in JillyJill's too.

12:37 am

flosey

ah, what a lovely thought, Christine, a b'day cake in your mother's honour

12:38 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

that's an incredible photo, Jill, lightning with a volcano at night? not a night I'd wanna be out in!!

12:39 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

88 left....

12:39 am

flosey

that would certainly not be a night to be out, Jilli

12:40 am

Christine

Thhank you Flosey - and Jullibus, I do, often, check the themes, but it sometimes takes two days for the icon to change (don't know why). I changed for my Mum when I finished yesatersay's grid.

12:41 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

no, Christine, it changes right away, it's just your not seeing it due to browser cache not being cleared -- if you sign out, close your browser and sign back in you should!

12:41 am

Christine

Sorry, s/b Jillibus.

12:41 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

clear cache when you do that.......

12:41 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

actually if I don't see mine right away, reloading the page usually sorts it!

12:41 am

rururocks

re8

12:42 am

jillibus

I have to go out of Babble and back in

12:42 am

jillibus

hi rurururu

12:42 am

Christine

Nah, just too much trouble - rather spend the time plaing babble - but thanks for the tip. SAomeone told me what to do, and I did it, but ...

12:42 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

is that 8 a re-action word, ruru?

12:42 am

flosey

hi ru, you just surfacing

12:42 am

rururocks

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, Jill, that often does it

12:42 am

rururocks

lol

12:43 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

might be the one I've already had for a little while?

12:43 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

is there more than one re8, I wonder??

12:43 am

rururocks

dunno george

12:43 am

jillibus

refreshing no longer works for me - it used to, but not now.

12:43 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

your laughing tells me it's probably the one I have!

12:44 am

jillibus

oh blast, french for garlic doesn't work

12:44 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, not refreshing the main babble page, but the bio page, Jill -- reloading that always works for me!

12:44 am

jillibus

I don't need to do that. geo

12:45 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

course not, Jill, there's no letter i in this grid!

12:45 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

12:47 am

Christine

12:47 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

12:47 am

Christine

oops, sorry

12:48 am

jillibus

I thought aioli was a mayo with garlic in it. Oh -- just check the dictionary and garlic is ail.

12:49 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

12:49 am

12:51 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

1:35 am

grannyrose

yay gapeach

1:35 am

jillibus

thanks, sprite -- I wanted to use an animated one but it wouldn't work here :(

1:36 am

sprite

no, most are too big to stay animated. But this one is really impressive too.

1:36 am

jillibus

yours is lovely, sprite

1:36 am

sprite

thank you :)

1:37 am

jillibus

have you seen zoozoom's icon?

1:37 am

sprite

no, will check it out now

1:38 am

sprite

LOL... that is pure genious

1:38 am

sprite

*genius

1:39 am

jillibus

I wonder how it was done!

1:39 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

it's just an animated .gif image he's uploaded there like you would upload any pic to your bio, Jill

1:40 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

you can find animated .gif's like that online easily

1:40 am

sprite

wonderful to see zooz has found enough of himself back to be bothered to share it with us.

1:40 am

jillibus

george, animated gifs of that size don't work -- I've tried.

1:40 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

what do you mean, what size?

1:40 am

sprite

they usually work in profile, jilli, just not in chog

1:41 am

jillibus

only tiny ones work. DrG explained that they get resized to appear here and that strips them of the animation.

1:41 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, see what ya mean now! saw it once before but forgot it wasn't square, yeah, that's odd!?

1:41 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ask him then?

1:42 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I thought all images had to be square or they don't display properly in a bio page?

1:42 am

jillibus

I know, sprite -- *usually* -- but hardly ever these days. I tried to use an animation from Wikipedia this time and it wouldn't work in either place.

1:43 am

sprite

but zooz is one helluva smart guy :)

1:44 am

jillibus

I usually crop things square if they aren't already, or resize them with photoshop by adding blanks areas to make them square.

1:44 am

sprite

same here, makes for well proportioned icons.

1:44 am

jillibus

I don't come across zooz much -- wrong time zone.

1:46 am

sprite

I am a girl of all hours these days. I come across most babblers every once in a while.

1:46 am

jillibus

I'm always glad when you show up, sprite.

1:47 am

sprite

and vice versa, jilli :)

1:48 am

jillibus

phant -- anthem

1:48 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, just as I thought -- he's just found that image and uploaded it as is. I just put it in my bio page to test and yeah, that's all he's done, it works!

1:49 am

sprite

just realised how much you learned computerwise, jilli! Cropping images, adding blanks... so comp savvy!

1:49 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

check it out -- reload my page if it doesn't show up at first! wonder why it displays all right at that size and shape!?

1:49 am

jillibus

is it a .gif, george?

1:50 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, of course it is, Jill -- only .gif images can be animated!

1:50 am

sprite

argh, bad phantom. Now I keep seeing it too. Am reading Anathem atm.

1:50 am

jillibus

sprite, son came over a while ago and gave me a short photoshop lesson

1:50 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

see it, Jill?

1:50 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

gonna change back to mine again......

1:51 am

sprite

good son, smart mom

1:51 am

jillibus

yes, george. Maybe it's small enough.

1:51 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, but I always thought they had to be square?

1:52 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

back to my own, hope it shows up now?

1:52 am

sprite

looks like that whole th is a waste, except as word ending.

1:52 am

jillibus

They show up in the chog as square and sometimes they're correct in the bio but sometimes squished -- hard to tell why!

1:52 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

horrible pic of me having not the best hair day, lol!

1:53 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, I thought they get 'squished' as you say coz they're not square? seems to be most of the time!

1:53 am

jillibus

right, sprite, no th words

1:53 am

sprite

thanks jilli

1:54 am

jillibus

something tells me that's not your hair, george

1:56 am

sprite

lol I found a french duck!

1:56 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ha! how'd ya guess, Jill? I have dyed it some funky colours over the years, lol! think it's been every colour just about, at some point -- might be why I don't have any left, eh?

1:56 am

jillibus

I'm stuck with 75 to go.

1:56 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I have 35 left!

1:57 am

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

have you listed, Jill? that's what's really helped me

1:57 am

jillibus

you're so smart, george ;)

1:58 am

jillibus

Yes, I've listed -- but it's almost midnight and I'm almost asleep.

2:02 am

2:04 am

jillibus

2:05 am

sprite

snert is dutch for pea soup

2:05 am

jillibus

2:05 am

2:15 am

2:15 am

sprite

wb sandy

2:15 am

Andree

its a pretty quick read, lol

2:15 am

Haz1558

It sounds a reasonable one, Andree. I have greyed the top row as well. Do we call up the record books?

2:15 am

sprite

beautiful, sandy!

2:15 am

Andree

absolutly

2:15 am

sandyloo

a lot of great lightening pics there

2:15 am

sprite

with such impressive results, Haz, I am sure they will call us.

2:16 am

Haz1558

I think so. We must agree to share the glory and not quibble about timings.

2:17 am

Andree

you are just saying that because you were the last haz

2:17 am

sprite

that is fine with me. However, I have to add that I also grayed out the T on the right. *smug*

2:17 am

Haz1558

Wash out your mouth, Andree!

2:18 am

Haz1558

Ditto, sprite. (Hope we don't move on any further)

2:18 am

sandyloo

Ive greyed the v

2:18 am

Haz1558

Ah, but babble is not a competition. (THe excuse of the defeated)

2:18 am

sprite

hm I haven't yet. I could hit on the S though, in the corner. I might be able to gray that one.

2:19 am

sandyloo

I think of babble as a competition against myself

2:19 am

sprite

I keep seeing savant and vacant. Not helpful.

2:19 am

Haz1558

When Henry Kissinger retold his stories of diplomacy, did he re7/32 his ac4/5 of ta4/5?

2:20 am

sprite

ohhhh I like that, Haz! Nicely put.

2:21 am

sandyloo

I love those sort of clues haz,

2:21 am

Haz1558

I couldn't resist. Henry is, of course, my hero.

2:22 am

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ca5-12 the 2nd? Thanks

2:23 am

sandyloo

about supplying food

2:23 am

sprite

2:24 am

gapeach

Thanks much, sandyloo.

2:24 am

sandyloo

yw gap

2:24 am

Haz1558

2:26 am

gapeach

although I did yesterdays puzzle but it was a very quick one

2:40 am

rubyfoo

I finished yester day and didn't know what to do with myself....

2:40 am

sandyloo

I went and played the tangleword look alike

2:41 am

Andree

2:42 am

gapeach

Hey there, rubyfoo....I've just finished a book and thought about you..."A Gift from Brittany" by Marjorie Price. Thought you might like it.

2:43 am

sandyloo

it is a cobradragon games and called serpentine , very much like the old tangleword (lots here from there) but sometimes doesnt work all that well,

2:43 am

rubyfoo

ty and gd morning, gapeach

2:43 am

rubyfoo

I don't know if I dare try another game

2:44 am

rubyfoo

I do so little as it is!

2:44 am

sandyloo

LOL Iknow what you mean

2:45 am

rubyfoo

yesterday, when I couldn't get into lexulous, I started many games on facebook -- what a mistake!

2:45 am

gapeach

Have a good day...rubyfoo, it may be at the Library. I am going to bed now...see y'all later.

2:45 am

sandyloo

I would like to see the bridge games on yahoo, but cant work out how to get into it

2:45 am

rubyfoo

that would be the end of productive Ruby!

2:46 am

sandyloo

some here play bridge on yahoo

2:47 am

sandyloo

where is the famous beauceron at the moment?

2:47 am

rubyfoo

I used to love bridge, 1oo years ago!

2:47 am

rubyfoo

he is coming home!!!!

2:47 am

sandyloo

me too, but it was too time consuming, everyone wanted to practice and have too many lunches

2:48 am

rubyfoo

I don't think there is anything we can do before the court date onf 5 Nov

2:48 am

sandyloo

those people would voluntarily have him put down, if they had an ounce of brains instead of being a couple of looneys

2:48 am

rubyfoo

dh back with groceries!

2:48 am

rubyfoo

see you later

2:49 am

sandyloo

bye for now

2:49 am

sandyloo

Im going off for a while too

2:53 am

Andree

me too, must watch news, have we a government yet?

3:05 am

sprite

back already. The bad news is, the car refuses to start. The good news is, more time to babble.

3:06 am

Haz1558

And the certain knowledge that we will be offering no advice whatsoever on what to do with the car!

3:07 am

sprite

lol yes! Which is really good, because I wouldn't have any idea what to do with car advice anyway.

3:08 am

Haz1558

I must confess, the only time I lift the bonnet is to fill the water reserve for the screenwash. I have to consult the book every time to find the catch...

3:09 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz and spritey sprite!

3:09 am

Haz1558

Good morning, FM! Does the sun shine with you?

3:09 am

sprite

that about sums it up for me too. I can check the oil and add some if needed. And the cooling liquid. That is all. Oh, and of course I can call the garage and tell them they got a job. That is my best car talent.

3:09 am

sprite

hiya FM :)

3:10 am

FMitch

It is shining beautifully today thank you :)

3:10 am

Haz1558

Excellent!

3:10 am

FMitch

and aparently will continue to do so all week.

3:11 am

FMitch

I can change a tyre but I choose not to.

3:11 am

Haz1558

In time for the children going back to school? Our schools start back today and of course the sun is splitting the trees.

3:12 am

Haz1558

I can diagnose a fan-belt needing to be replaced (awful screechy noise).

3:12 am

FMitch

I think it is next week for the schools to go back around here.
lol Haz.

3:12 am

sprite

actually, together we probably could get most cars fit to reach the garage at the very least.

3:13 am

FMitch

Good point sprite - a babble team effort :)

3:13 am

Haz1558

I remember being terribly embarrassed when one car needed to have the exhaust replaced. I roared up to the garage sounding like a boy racer.

3:14 am

sprite

I need a boost to get the car going, and then I can drive it to the garage. Am scanning neighbourhood already for unsuspecting strong men.

3:15 am

sprite

oh! Haz, I know! I had to do the same once... I was red in the face and I kept looking apologetic to everyone who looked my way.

3:15 am

FMitch

pfft, the exhaust on my car went last November and I 'did' sound like a boy racer. Unfotunately as it is a twin exhaust it cost about Â£1200 to replace the whole system.

3:15 am

sprite

ouch FM! I think that is more than my whole car is worth.

3:15 am

FMitch

Is the battery flat sprite?

3:15 am

Haz1558

It was awful waiting at traffic lights, I'm sure people thought I was going to try to cut them up.

3:16 am

sprite

no the battery works. To put it profesionally: the engine goes woowoowoowoowoo but it won't go broom.

3:16 am

FMitch

The car also needed a service and MOT and 2 new tyres so the total bill was Â£2500 - thankgoodness I had just sold the flat.

3:17 am

FMitch

oh and a new radiator.

3:17 am

Haz1558

Ah. It's not your fan belt because then it would go eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek and eventually move.

3:17 am

sprite

lol indeed

3:17 am

FMitch

LOL sprite I love your technical diagnosis there .

3:17 am

sprite

our garage guy is an old friend and he always looks forward to my explaining what is wrong. Especially the sound fragments.

3:18 am

FMitch

*giggle*

3:18 am

Haz1558

Poor FM! I remember when you had that bill, but you reckoned it would keep the car going for another good few years so would be worth it.

3:18 am

sprite

that is awfully expensive, FM :(
Is it working fine now?

3:18 am

FMitch

Oh yes, it was def worth it as I have no plans to get another car for a looooong time.

3:20 am

FMitch

Unlike my Mums car - she has had it a year now and had done a staggering 110 miles in 1 year 'sheesh'

3:20 am

sprite

almost not worth having a car for

3:20 am

Haz1558

Goodness, that's not even one tank of petrol!

3:21 am

FMitch

I know - why they felt the need to buy a brand new car I don't know, the old one was about 6 years old and only had about 10,000 miles on the clock.

3:22 am

sprite

lol... the kind of car they did away with is better than the kind of car we tend to buy.

3:22 am

FMitch

Good grid today btw.

3:22 am

sprite

it is a good grid, yes. Makes up for yesterday's.

3:23 am

FMitch

love that the french for duck is accepted.

3:23 am

Haz1558

Any grid is good that has a k but which doesn't expect you to find any words for it.

3:23 am

sprite

me too! Is that for food?

3:23 am

sprite

true, Haz. Especially when it isn't used at all.

3:24 am

FMitch

and the high IQ group is here too several times. Talking of which where is Ata?

3:24 am

Haz1558

It's there to represent a kind of red herring - an untruth to deceive. The French duck, I mean.

3:25 am

sprite

maybe Ata is very busy knotting.

3:25 am

Haz1558

She did the grid yesterday, so she's still alive but yes, knotting furiously.

3:26 am

FMitch

She must be very busy doing something as I haven't seen her for ages now :(

3:26 am

FMitch

That was such a piddly little grid yesteray.

3:27 am

zoozzoom

I did speak to her on here a couple of days ago..it was brief though...then she went back to knotting.....Hello {{All}}

3:27 am

sprite

thanks Haz, will remember that meaning of french duck.

3:27 am

FMitch

Greetings zooz!

3:27 am

Haz1558

Hello, zooz.

3:27 am

sprite

I chatted with her yesterday, shortly, she had to concentrate on complicated knotwork.

3:28 am

zoozzoom

Loved your car noise descriptions Spritey..LOL

3:28 am

sprite

hey zooz! *hugs* Good to see you. We have admired your icon this morning.

3:28 am

FMitch

Ata must have an exhibition or commission on the go then.

3:28 am

zoozzoom

i have been trying to put other gif icons on my profile...but they do not seem to work...will try again later.

3:29 am

sprite

hehehe zooz :)

3:29 am

FMitch

The thing is with sprite's car noise - you know exactly what she means and we all dread hearing it from our vehicles.

3:29 am

zoozzoom

i prefer a car to go Vroom instead of broom :-)

3:29 am

sprite

if the file is too big, it won't move on the profile. And it has to be really really small to move in chog.

3:30 am

sprite

hm yes, you are right. Broom is rather witchy. I'd love my car to fly, can you tell?

3:30 am

zoozzoom

i Agree Sprite..but these were the same size..if not smaller :-(

3:30 am

FMitch

Mine purrrrs

3:31 am

FMitch

with a bit of attitude :)

3:31 am

sprite

one of the many incomprihensible things of babble, zooz ;)

3:31 am

sprite

purring with an attitude... sounds great to me, FM!

3:31 am

zoozzoom

some round here sounds like gunshots firing..lol

3:31 am

sprite

how are you doing today, zooz?

3:31 am

FMitch

BRB

3:32 am

zoozzoom

yep..ok..thanks :-)

3:32 am

zoozzoom

I think the sun helps..beautiful day again here..hope the weather is good for you too, Spritey :-)

3:32 am

sprite

glad to hear that. One day at a time, right? Still thinking of you often and sending you supportive vibes.

3:33 am

sprite

sun is very good! Not much of that here atm though, Autumn started very early this year.

3:33 am

zoozzoom

thanks sprite! :-)

3:35 am

FMitch

Check out my icon - not my car but the same make and model.

3:36 am

FMitch

zooz, the sun really does help, it has lifted my spirits this week.

3:36 am

sprite

ooooo classy, FM!

3:37 am

sprite

daylight and sunlight really help with depressions. Going out and get some excercise, even just walking, works miracles too.
How is the eating and drinking going, zooz?

3:37 am

zoozzoom

ooh very nice car..can`t see it too well..looks a bit like a lexus.....glad to hear that FM..wish it was sunny everyday.

3:37 am

FMitch

Toyota MR2 zooz

3:38 am

zoozzoom

funny thing is..i have never eaten so much..i can`t stop stuffing my face...yet still no weight gain at all...lol

3:38 am

sprite

looks like you need it then :D
Good for you! You are a hero.

3:38 am

zoozzoom

A sporty car FM..def a Vroom VROOM..lol

3:38 am

zoozzoom

A sporty car FM..def a Vroom VROOM..lol

3:39 am

zoozzoom

wow my first echo :-)

3:39 am

sprite

boys... sigh... always so loud with their cars! ;)

3:39 am

FMitch

lol

3:41 am

zoozzoom

I can see Haz has snuck off & gone deep into the grid..lol

3:41 am

FMitch

*fish slap* volcano alert and pl.

3:42 am

Haz1558

Wrong! I was actually answering the phone.

3:42 am

zoozzoom

ooh thanks FM

3:42 am

zoozzoom

i always miss the volcano one..BR always had to clue it to me..lol

3:42 am

FMitch

you were doing a quick oil check and rotating the tyres weren't you.

3:42 am

sprite

how is the healing going, Haz? Can you iron again, already?

3:42 am

Haz1558

And musing that my husband's main criteria for choosing a car is (a) does it go and (b) does it have a huge boot for carrying round all his equipment.

3:42 am

zoozzoom

Oh, ok Haz..lol

3:43 am

sprite

good criteria in my book!

3:44 am

sprite

BabbleRabble is our Clue Emperor. Haven't seen him in days, though... miss him.

3:44 am

zoozzoom

that sounds soo much like my dad..hahahaha..there has to be enough space to put a house in otherwise it is of no practical use

3:45 am

zoozzoom

He did enter the chog a few days ago..but very very briefly..hope he is ok.

3:45 am

Haz1558

He's been making very sproradic and short appearances, sprite, I think he's not well again.

3:47 am

FMitch

BR is online at the mo but his babble hammock hasn't been slept in for days :(

3:47 am

sprite

I so so wish he'd find something to help him maintain more balance. He never gives up, I know, but he sooo deserves to have an easier time.

3:47 am

zoozzoom

I remeber someone saying to him if he was ok, and he said ok..then they asked if there was anything they could do..and he replied there is nothing anyone can do...did not sound too good...i thought he was just feeling a bit under the weather..not so sure now.

3:49 am

FMitch

BR used to talk a lot more a few years ago but he is a closed book as to his history and feelings.

3:49 am

Haz1558

From what he has mentioned in the chat log, he has had mental health problems for a long time. Medication is both his help and his enemy and getting the balance right seems to be a real problem.

3:50 am

sandyloo

hi again guys

3:51 am

FMitch

Hi sandy

3:51 am

sandyloo

hey mitch

3:51 am

Haz1558

I don't think there is any point in trying to get him to open up - he'll only tell you what he wants you to know and only on his terms. I'm sure he knows that we wish him well.

3:51 am

sprite

it is a hell of a battle. And BabbleRabble is a valiant warrior. Who deserves peace of mind and no more battle. Well, even if I cannot chat with him, I will think of him and hope for blessings.

3:51 am

FMitch

I concur Haz.

3:51 am

Haz1558

Hello, sandyloo.

3:51 am

sprite

wb sandy

3:52 am

zoozzoom

We do wish him well...and i respect that, if he wants to say what he wants to say..that is fine.

3:52 am

zoozzoom

Hello, sandylooooooooooo

3:52 am

sandyloo

hi zooz, great to see you getting better

3:53 am

zoozzoom

3:54 am

zoozzoom

wow that was alot of trying there.

3:54 am

FMitch

and you keep trying zooz and you will win. OK???!!!

3:54 am

sandyloo

that is what it is all about zooz and we are climbing the greasy pole of life

3:54 am

sprite

it is pure butter, zooz. Keep trying. It will melt the butter, and if all else fails, you can sprinkle it with honey and scrape it off with bread :)

3:55 am

FMitch

otherwise I will have to slap your legs ;)

3:55 am

zoozzoom

i am very determind now FM...and I will get there...just takes a bloody long time...one min up ..next down..but hey ho.

3:55 am

Haz1558

Agree with FM, it's safer.

3:55 am

sandyloo

love the icon zooz

3:55 am

zoozzoom

4:47 am

sprite

4:48 am

FMitch

Hello lynxxx!

4:49 am

FMitch

sandy - look on Amazon for an overview of the book but I do reccomend it.

4:49 am

sandyloo

just started reading Romulus my father - it is beautifully written for sure, but I hope it will be uplifting, havent read enough yet

4:52 am

sprite

I am trying to read Anathem by Neil Stephenson. It was rather hard for me at the start, it is brilliantly written but it taxes my knowledge of english pretty heavily. Am starting to get into the story though. And am enjoying his play on words.

4:52 am

FMitch

I must be off now so TTFN and Happy Babbling.

4:52 am

lynxxx

maybe not exactly uplifting but... I was actually speaking to a friend today who was telling me of his parents story ...echoes of Romulus...not so long ago but a totally different world.

4:52 am

lynxxx

bye FM

4:52 am

sprite

bye FM, *hugs* and have a wonderful day.

4:58 am

lynxxx

It was Sandy. My friend mentioned below is actually a friend of Gaita. I met him this year, a very gentle, intelligent and attractive man. You will LOVE the movie, he had a lot of involvement in it and thoroughly approved of it which I understand is unusual

4:59 am

sprite

never mind that :)

5:00 am

herinfernallady

Sprite I would love to make you a banana choc pizza

5:00 am

7:41 am

featherbee

jmcnrick

7:41 am

jmcnrick

hi feather

7:41 am

NonoNanette

hi Feather

Hi feather and Nono.

7:43 am

featherbee

hmm, i thought tetch was a word

7:43 am

carleekat

i know....crap...i swear I feel like my life ... seems like one big rollercoaster ride...you all have seen it all...and i dont think I have had one moment of normacy in the 3 years i have been here

7:43 am

jmcnrick

then that is a shift and I am glad to hear it -- my sister had to fight like hell to keep one kid away from abusive dad in canada in the 70s

7:43 am

jmcnrick

well you are tetched in the head feather

7:44 am

featherbee

lol, i always thought so

7:44 am

herinfernallady

Feahter how did he undo the elbow thingy?

7:44 am

jmcnrick

normalcy is over rated

7:44 am

carleekat

i'm the one tetched in the head i think

7:44 am

featherbee

no clue. he just did. stinker.

7:45 am

jmcnrick

7:45 am

car - I remember back to before the accident and then the hell that has happened but you are young enough to find happiness and contentment again.

7:45 am

herinfernallady

Cutge but

7:45 am

jmcnrick

you just unscrew the two rings

7:45 am

NonoNanette

those elbow traps are easy enough to take off. They are only supposed to be hnad tightened

7:45 am

featherbee

for those who didn't see earlier, daniel dropped a neosporin cap down the bathroom sink drain, then undid the elbow to try to get it out

7:46 am

herinfernallady

Carlee maybe time for that garage sale of crap then.

7:46 am

jmcnrick

i still want to know what whale tail/seagull is

7:46 am

NonoNanette

has he seen his Dad do it in the past Feather

7:46 am

FMitch

oh clever Daniel and BAD Daniel - how much is the plumber going to cost?

7:46 am

carleekat

wtg daniel..that cool

7:46 am

featherbee

not really nono. he's just an expert at dismantling things!

7:46 am

carleekat

did he put a bowl under it to catch the water ???

7:47 am

featherbee

nahh, it's ok, doug will just put it back on tonight. i probably could too, but have other things i need/want to do today. i'm content to wait.

7:47 am

jmcnrick

well that can be useful as he ages feather

7:47 am

NonoNanette

lol feather that could be a blessing or a curse

7:47 am

herinfernallady

JM Whale Tail is when the g-string shows. THink of a whale

7:47 am

featherbee

there happened to be a bowl there anyway, but it didn't catch it all.

7:47 am

jmcnrick

well that was lucky

7:47 am

NonoNanette

just put a bucket under it for now feather just in case someone turns the water on

7:48 am

jmcnrick

7:48 am

featherbee

7:48 am

carleekat

7:48 am

jmcnrick

7:48 am

EvaNadine

i have one friend who just had a baby a few weeks ago. she had RSVPed that she would leave the older one at home but may have to bring the baby, since shes still feeding.
just had to send her a note saying that i have already told others they cant bring their kids, so i really cant make an exception.

8:13 am

carleekat

u all can likely say hi to him if you like...

8:13 am

zoozzoom

8:15 am

herinfernallady

That is like my friends wedding no kids except the flower girls. Which peed me off as they said no kids but my best friend whom was also invited had a then 14 year old so he wasn't a kid kidlet

8:17 am

EvaNadine

just a friend.

8:18 am

EvaNadine

heh, thanks for the reminder, crossy. ;)

8:18 am

herinfernallady

10:00 am

Haz1558

Whatever happened to my spelling?

10:01 am

Aloyisius

can't keep up with all the new tech.. funny thing happened at a luncheon the other day.. lady at our table needed to have the attention of the room.. dinging on the cup didn't work when another lady pulls out her "droid" and said...I have an app for that! - and she did! Pressed an "alarm" button.. got everyone's attention.. almost fell off my chair laughing

10:02 am

Aloyisius

I am easily amused..

10:02 am

Haz1558

Those phones scare me - one touch and you could launch a space shuttle or something.

10:03 am

Aloyisius

lol, so true, Haz!

10:03 am

NonoNanette

I know, Haz. I have enough problems just using a plane old cell phone without all the bells and whistles

10:04 am

Haz1558

At least with 'proper' phones you have to press hard on the buttons, just being able to touch a screen seems fraught with dangers. And it's even worse when you have to get your reading glasses on to see the blessed thing.

10:16 am

Haz1558

In terms of weather it was better than last year - but then nothing could be worse than last year! My older daughter has got engaged, my younger daughter has moved back home from Edinburgh and I've had my gall bladder out. Pretty uneventful really.

10:16 am

rubyfoo

bon appetit! deeha

10:16 am

Aloyisius

good luck with your dinner, Deeha.. sounds wonderful

10:17 am

carleekat

but everyone is now in good health?

10:17 am

rubyfoo

aha! ty haz

10:17 am

Haz1558

Oh, fighting fit. I had keyhole surgery just over two weeks ago and it was a breeze.

10:18 am

carleekat

good...if all is healthy the rest is just.... noise

10:18 am

Haz1558

Such a different operation to what it used to be.

10:18 am

rururocks

10:18 am

Boobear

10:19 am

Aloyisius

hi Boobear!

10:20 am

rubyfoo

I think my mother had the surgery in the 40's, after I was born

10:21 am

carleekat

my mother in law it a few years ago...

10:21 am

Haz1558

I'm very glad that some bright spark thought up the whole concept of keyhole surgery, it makes recovery so much easier.

10:21 am

rubyfoo

and no scar!

10:21 am

Boobear

How is everyone today

10:22 am

rubyfoo

it is 22C and perfect here! after two very cold days

redturtlehead

10:24 am

redturtlehead

haz, I am sure you would look lovely in a binkini, you just have to choose the right one!

10:24 am

rubyfoo

10:25 am

Boobear

Hi red

10:25 am

carleekat

it is ruby.... <gone to check profile>

10:25 am

Haz1558

10:25 am

rubyfoo

do you write full-time, carlee?

10:26 am

redturtlehead

Carlee, what did you do for your daughters first day of High school?

10:26 am

rubyfoo

10:26 am

carleekat

oh man..i wrote that well over a year ago..and no....unless u count transcription

10:26 am

rubyfoo

10:29 am

rubyfoo

10:30 am

redturtlehead

So far Carlee I have found 72 words...not sure. How are you?

10:30 am

carleekat

i just had an enormous piece of choc cake for breakie ( tried a new recipe..is to die for...and i had been having a craving for 4 weeks)...the recipe made twice the ammount of cake i wanted/ needed,,,i can a: eat it b: not eat it and let it dry out and pitch it

ChampFit

Good morning everyone!

rubyfoo

10:32 am

doseffing

it is physically impossible to make too much chocolate cake ... there is no such concept

10:32 am

carleekat

10:32 am

redturtlehead

Sally-catlover

Hi everyone. Carlee, when I have too much cake (does not compute) I freeze some of it and eat it another day.

10:33 am

ChampFit

No, my first name is Susan. When I was a kid, it was Super Susan!

10:33 am

rubyfoo

hi and bye bichon, see you after din

10:33 am

carleekat

sally..i would but i have no room in my freezer

10:33 am

rubyfoo

hello Super Susan and hi and bye Sally

10:33 am

redturtlehead

Ahhh ok Super susan. I was able to run 8 miles today all with a fairly even (albeit slow) pace! only one moment of bad pain in the recovering achilles!!!

10:33 am

Sally-catlover

Even if you cut it up in portions?

10:34 am

rubyfoo

BTW, Sally, the fish cavort on top of the sally-nets!

10:34 am

carleekat

no sally...we have had some great sales on chicken beef and shrimp up here... my freezer is chuck full

10:34 am

ChampFit

AWESOME!!! Yesterday I did 2 min run, 2 min walk, and managed a 4 miler pain free! Still sore after, but not too bad. 8 miles is a long way away for me!

10:34 am

Sally-catlover

Doesn't that make them vulnerable to the heron?

10:34 am

ChampFit

and let's don't talk pace!!1

10:34 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

10:35 am

redturtlehead

thats awesome, and please lets dont talk pace. Are you sure you and your coaching group dont want to join up on thedailymile.com??

10:35 am

rubyfoo

they don't seem to care! I think the bronze heron on the side of the basin has been a help

10:35 am

redturtlehead

i'm glad your pain is resolving.

10:35 am

ChampFit

I need to check that out!

10:36 am

rubyfoo

champ: I was a runner from age 42 -47, ran races and everything and I think, in the end, that's why I survived cancer!!!!

10:36 am

redturtlehead

its a nice interctive training log....

10:36 am

ChampFit

Thanks, yours too. Was talking to a friend who's been fooling with her achilles for 2 years. Misdiagnosed at first...

10:36 am

bichon

I walk 2 miles a day with my dog and no more. I do keep a quick pace

10:36 am

ChampFit

Ruby, it will keep you sane, won't it?

10:36 am

redturtlehead

bichon, i think walking is great exercise.

10:36 am

ChampFit

Wish I could keep a good walking pace. Don't think I have it in me.

10:37 am

redturtlehead

yes, so many injuries are tricky buggers.

10:37 am

rubyfoo

I used to love it; my son made tapes for me of fast rock and roll and it was as good as dancing. Unfortunately, my orthopedist says "No more"

10:37 am

carleekat

ok..rec
ipe added after ode

10:37 am

Sally-catlover

Ooh good, carlee. Goes to pinch recipe.

10:38 am

rubyfoo

*real poof*

10:38 am

bichon

10:38 am

ChampFit

10:38 am

rubyfoo

10:38 am

carleekat

it is the BEST choco cake i have ever had...do NOT over cook

10:39 am

rubyfoo

he is coming out of dog jail and the mayor lacks the power to have him put down. Dog's owner approached husband again today.

10:39 am

bichon

I can trace most of my physical problems to pushing strollers up hills in the Bay Area

10:39 am

rubyfoo

I had better make dinner or dogs and husband will bite ME!

10:39 am

ChampFit

bichon, my friend had hip pain, and an MRI last week showed 2 bulging discs.

10:40 am

Sally-catlover

Has dog's owner explained why he didn't stop to help when dog bit husband, apart from anything else?

10:40 am

rubyfoo

no

10:40 am

bichon

My otho thinks it bursitis. I'm supposed to be doing strengthening and stretching, but I am lapse

10:40 am

10:41 am

ChampFit

bichon, that's what they told me for my plantar. Rest is a good thing.

10:41 am

bichon

It's amazing how so many normal people go crazy when they get a dog

10:41 am

bichon

I have planta but I keep that under control by stretching

10:41 am

bichon

*plantar

10:42 am

ChampFit

I was just thinking how bad the dogs are shedding right now. Hard to keep up with the mess, but I don't have the heart to put them out in the heat and humidity.

10:43 am

carleekat

cats are too..i never have to brush my cats..this year...i am brushing..either that or hairball puke

10:43 am

bichon

I take mine with me early in the AM so he and I can manage. He's 16 1/2 and I'm 64

10:43 am

redturtlehead

I had bursitis in one of my hips gosh 7-8 years aog, I was sure I needed a hip replacement, its painful Bichon!

10:43 am

bichon

Mine isn't that painful, just annoying.

10:45 am

bichon

what did you do for it red?

10:45 am

redturtlehead

ice motrin and it eventually went away.

10:46 am

bichon

hmmm, done all that. It's not that bad, but I know it's there

10:47 am

redturtlehead

every once in a while I get a flare, so I rest and it goes away. I have some hip issues, the thingy that holds the hip in place is very loose and I can dislocate it, like on demand.

10:47 am

bichon

that sounds like it might sting a bit. I have that with my knee

10:48 am

carleekat

Hi Dan. I liked your FB comment about overhearing a 3 yr old screaming for the iPad.

6:29 pm

Scrabbler

How is she doing, Feather?

6:30 pm

featherbee

i heard a slight snicker from her at one point. although, that could have been just normal human reaction to another person still laughing hysterically. (me.)

6:32 pm

Scrabbler

Did she not realize that the handcuffs were authentic, or was it too late? And what has Daniel's reaction been?

6:33 pm

featherbee

no, she thought they were a toy. he was pretending to put her in jail. had them on his wrist too, but of course he slipped right out of them. he was truly sorry, didn't mean to really lock her up.

6:36 pm

Scrabbler

Onec one of my nephews, spending the weekend with me, at about age6 or 7, was mad at me and, unbeknownst to me, called 911. When a Sheriff's car pulled into the driveway Peter started crying + told me what he did. The officer talked to him about what 911 is really for.

6:38 pm

featherbee

yeah, nick's done the 911 thing, earlier this spring. sheesh, one calls 911, the other handcuffs grandma!

7:14 pm

Scrabbler

*snicker*

7:15 pm

stidmama

how are you doing with that, feather? seems every big "school first" drives home how very OLD I am becoming...

7:16 pm

carleekat

up to the f's...yay

7:16 pm

featherbee

this morning, he dropped a cap down the sink, and decided he'd get it himself, by detaching the elbow below. then this afternoon, grandma was babysitting, didn't know the handcuffs were real when he was playing police and taking her to jail, and thus locked grandma up. she had to call me to ask where the key was, and did NOT see the humor in it yet. perhaps her mental visions of going to the police station and being cut out of them were interfering. anyway, key was found, grandma rescued, daniel contrite, all is well.

7:17 pm

carleekat

7:17 pm

featherbee

lmao, serves ya right carlee!

7:17 pm

carleekat

i've been laughing about it all day..but it still cracks me up

7:18 pm

featherbee

i had to compose myself when calling grandma back to tell her where the key was. doug thought i was crying, i was in such hysterics when i called him to ask!

7:18 pm

carleekat

so as i see it..it is not my own fault i snorted cosmos..is daniels fault for being bloody hillarious

7:19 pm

wht

So if he can disassemble an elbow, hire him out as a plumber and you can retire.

7:19 pm

featherbee

lol, there ya go

7:19 pm

featherbee
