12:40 am

VolleymomDee

hubby took her and they both love their oncologist... he actually called her at home last night, since today was her first treatment and he had hospital call and wouldn't be there to see her... amazing...

12:41 am

westford

what a caring thing to do

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

12:41 am

jillibus

great doctor, dee

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

it was a great surprise, plus hubby told them my brother was a doctor, and we wanted to keep him apprised of what was going on... they gave Dan papers to fax to my brother... also amazing... relieved that she seems to be in good hands

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

new word for me ni 7/48

12:45 am

westford

so many doctors are good at what they do but unfortunately forget to treat the spirit

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

not sure yet about that... will be interesting to see if he does... I agree west... huge part of healing

12:46 am

westford

I'd say this one is there already

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

is anyone here from Pittsburg, PA?

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

he is at least friendly and concerned... 61 years old... last doc left of original group who started this practice, so he is definitely there because he thinks he can help

12:48 am

westford

it sounds like she is in good hands

12:48 am

westford

how many times will she have chemo do you know?

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

at this point, they are saying 4 chemo; new pet scan; then perhaps 2 more chemo and 2 radiation... chemo every 3 weeks

12:50 am

jillibus

got io7

12:50 am

jillibus

dee, that sounds pretty hard to take

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

ty jili... don't have that one yet

12:50 am

jillibus

but worth it, I'm sure

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

we are praying only 4 are necessary... doc is hopeful that will be sufficient

12:52 am

jillibus

I think nobody noticed that I have a friend recovering from cancer surgery who is still in hopital with an infection, possibly facing chemo too.

12:52 am

m9f9l

1/2way!!!!

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

jillibus

wtg m9!

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry to hear jili

12:53 am

westford

what kind of infection?

12:53 am

m9f9l

oh jilli.. that's hard!

12:53 am

jillibus

post-op of some sort, west -- don't know.

12:54 am

m9f9l

what's her name?

12:54 am

jillibus

Hr name is Tilly

12:54 am

westford

that can be taken care of with antibiotics I think

12:54 am

m9f9l

So I can pray for her... although I'm sure if I say "jilli's friend" He'll know who I'm talking about!

12:54 am

m9f9l

ok.. thanks!

12:54 am

jillibus

And thank YOU, m9

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

sweet name... short for Matilda?

12:56 am

jillibus

She is a wonderful person, chairman ofour library board, who has devoted the last several years toward getting a new building for it.

12:56 am

westford

she's from your island then?

12:56 am

jillibus

This has been a terrible shock to her, having to give up seeing it to its completion.

12:56 am

flosey

she is indeed, jilli, and had a sweet little note in the local paper today

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

odd word fo 6/42 (do 6/36 same)

12:57 am

jillibus

yes, west.

12:57 am

m9f9l

also... if anyone ever wants a lot of prayers for someone... you can telephone any LDS Temple in the world and say "I have names" and tell them the names. The names are then put in a big envelope/box thing.. and prayed for. The name stays on the prayer rolls for 2 weeks.

12:57 am

westford

that's good to know m

12:58 am

jillibus

Good to know, m9 -- many thaks

12:58 am

m9f9l

12:59 am

m9f9l

12:59 am

jillibus

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

westford

1:01 am

flosey

1:01 am

m9f9l

daughter stopped by today inbetween all the running around, just to sit for a minute. She is so exhausted.. I could hear it in her voice..

1:01 am

jillibus

omg, how awful all around!

1:01 am

m9f9l

no. the grandson is high functioning autistic. and his father fairly out of the picture. so my friend and her mother have been his main family.

1:01 am

1:05 am

m9f9l

when Gage was born.. she drove a couple hours down to my apartment with husband and about 4 or 5 kids in tow.. and made me the most AWESOME chicken soup I ever ate! and her son made a casserole. and they made something else too..

1:05 am

westford

and what's her prognosis now?

1:06 am

m9f9l

she brought all her spices too!LOL

1:06 am

m9f9l

oh... the cancer was sheesh.. about 17 years ago... no signs since.

1:06 am

westford

the original spice girl? lol

1:07 am

westford

wow what a great attitude

1:07 am

m9f9l

and she works like crazy as a nurse. Her husband is bipolar and like having another kid.. so she's been their main breadwinner for years..

1:07 am

m9f9l

he's really nice.. but she kind of has to manage him.LOL

1:07 am

jillibus

what an amazing person!

1:08 am

m9f9l

and she nurses the babies forever.. and she mothers everybody else...LOL

1:08 am

m9f9l

I love her.

1:09 am

westford

1:09 am

m9f9l

she also makes the best corned beef.. she organizes cookies trades at her place.. and has loads of people over for st patty's day..

1:09 am

m9f9l

Her name is Maureen

1:09 am

jillibus

Ah -- Irish?

1:09 am

m9f9l

oh yes!

1:10 am

jillibus

candidate for sainthood!

1:10 am

m9f9l

She already is one!LOL

1:10 am

westford

soodle said the other day her father was one of 15 and her grandmother never had a washing machine

1:10 am

m9f9l

It is after all the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day SAINTS....

1:11 am

westford

her mother was one of 11 and she has 100 first cousins

1:11 am

westford

and if it wasn't for TV she'd probably have 10 kids too

1:11 am

m9f9l

wow west! I'm the youngest of 9.. when the first three (boys) were little and all in diapers, my parents didn't have water in the house. they had a well. And all cloth diapers..

1:12 am

m9f9l

and my Dad was gone for days at a time on the boats.

1:12 am

jillibus

We had a housekeeper in Quebec who was one of 21 kids -- but 2 wives.

1:12 am

westford

I can't even imagine

1:13 am

m9f9l

I grew up in a big catholic neighborhood in Seattle. The next door neighbors had 13, up on the corner they had 12, the Gillionies had 15...

1:13 am

m9f9l

our 9 was a small family!LOL

1:13 am

westford

can you imagine being an only child in that neighborhood?

1:13 am

m9f9l

that wasn't where the house with no water was..

1:14 am

flosey

wow, jilli, mealtime must have been quite a chore

1:14 am

m9f9l

my best friend growing up.. it was just her and her brother.

1:14 am

westford

bet she liked hanging at your house

1:14 am

m9f9l

and they were very cool.. she had all the "in" toys...

1:15 am

m9f9l

actually she did. They didn't even go INTO their living room.. it was kept perfect for guests..

1:15 am

westford

in big families the older children look after the younger ones

1:15 am

m9f9l

and she NEVER cooked growing up! except at my house. We'd make pancakes together and that was a HUGE deal to her!

1:15 am

jillibus

flosey, I think family #1 was grown up and goen when family #2 arrived. Dad was french-canadian, first wife also, second wife anglo, all kids completely bilingual with no accent. That's Hudson, Que.

1:16 am

flosey

wow, amazing, jilli

1:16 am

m9f9l

but my mom scared her. she told me that just a few years ago. but hey.. my mom scared me. So I wasn't surprised.LOL

1:16 am

westford

was your mom efficient?

1:16 am

m9f9l

I am SO lost in finding my French Canadian great grandpa.

1:17 am

westford

a no nonsense kind of person?

1:17 am

jillibus

Quel nom, m9?

1:17 am

westford

I'd think that would be easy for you

1:17 am

m9f9l

who mine west?? my mom was um.. neurotic. and negligent. and I luckily was the youngest and my dad retired when I was 8 and was a house-husband while she went to school.

1:18 am

m9f9l

and HE was a great cook!!

1:18 am

westford

I just figured with 9 kids she was a wonder

1:18 am

westford

he did what he had to do

1:19 am

m9f9l

I gather when the older kids were at home.. and he'd be home off the water, he'd make big casseroles and stews and such... and when he'd leave.. they'd eat that until it was gone.. and then it was kind of fend for yourself..

1:19 am

m9f9l

cause my mother was a terrible cook.

1:19 am

westford

that's really sad

1:20 am

m9f9l

he'd make cheap food of course.. but make it good. And he'd cook tongue.. and then slice it very thin for sandwiches....

1:20 am

jillibus

I loved tongue -- never see it in the stores now.

1:20 am

westford

every day I would go to the butcher and get tongue for my 5th grade teacher's sandwich

1:20 am

m9f9l

so he was on the water, and I guess tongue was on sale or something so my mom thought.. Oh.. I'll make that. all the kids sitting at the table.. and my mom brings out a platter. with a boiled tongue on it. whole.

1:21 am

westford

and then to the bakery for a cream puff

1:21 am

westford

ewww

1:21 am

m9f9l

My mom LOVED cream puffs!!! there was a little bakery up on the hill...

1:21 am

m9f9l

exactly!

1:21 am

jillibus

not ewww at all!

1:21 am

m9f9l

I TOLD you she was a terrible cook!

1:22 am

westford

I mean ewww for the boiled tongue on a platter

1:22 am

jillibus

that's what I meant too -- delicious!

1:23 am

westford

just boiled? no spices or anything?

1:23 am

m9f9l

west didn't mean "ewww...tongue".. just ewww on the presentation!

1:23 am

westford

yep

1:23 am

m9f9l

yup. just boiled.

1:23 am

m9f9l

sitting on a platter.

1:23 am

westford

I grew up loving liver..my mother was a wonderful cook

1:23 am

m9f9l

But I did love her "grilled cheese" sandwiches.

1:24 am

m9f9l

my dad made awesome liver

1:24 am

m9f9l

luckily my DAD was a wonderful cook

1:24 am

jillibus

well, I seem to remember enjoying slices from a boiled tongue on a platter...

1:24 am

m9f9l

amazing really

1:24 am

jillibus

juicy and tender and tasty...

1:24 am

westford

was it served cold jilli?

1:24 am

m9f9l

they were actually broiled cheese open face sandwiches.

1:24 am

jillibus

but liver is another story for me -- think I told you before.

1:25 am

jillibus

No, the tongue was warm.

1:25 am

westford

I don't remember hearing it jilli

1:25 am

flosey

I hated liver until I had it cooked properly!! mom cooked it until it was like leather

1:25 am

jillibus

oh, m9, broiled cheese open faced sounds great!

1:25 am

m9f9l

yes. and with tomato...

1:26 am

flosey

oh, I loved those, we called them cheese dreams

1:26 am

m9f9l

I didn't know what most people call a "grilled cheese" until I was in college

1:26 am

m9f9l

I sure do miss the gas stove I grew up with.

1:27 am

jillibus

When I was a kid I was supposedly anemic and back then there weren't any handy iron pills, so I had to have lover soup every day for lunch. It looked like pee with grey bits floating in it and tasted worse. I'm not fond of liver.

1:27 am

m9f9l

and my dad made homemade macaroni and cheese. People would BEG to be asked over for his tuna casserole..

1:27 am

m9f9l

oh jilli.. I"m SO sorry!!!!

1:27 am

flosey

oh jilli, that sounds revolting

1:27 am

jillibus

*liver soup, not lover, lol!

1:28 am

westford

double yuck

1:28 am

westford

we knew what you meant lol

1:28 am

m9f9l

in high school my sister took a chinese cooking class.. and so my dad bought 'her' a wok, and all the stuff to go with it. Then he learned how to make sweet and sour pork.. and people BEGGED to come over for that!

1:29 am

m9f9l

and his stuffed zucchini...

1:29 am

m9f9l

and his stuffed salmon on the hibachi in the summer...

1:29 am

westford

I am getting so hungry

1:29 am

m9f9l

and his blackberry jam! and stewed rhubarb! He'd take us into the hills in the spring with gloves to get nettles...

1:29 am

m9f9l

and he knew where wild watercress grew..

1:29 am

jillibus

I'm not even halfway here yet :(

1:30 am

jillibus

oh wow, m9!

1:30 am

m9f9l

and he'd take us to find chantrelle mushrooms.

1:30 am

jillibus

What a dad!

1:31 am

m9f9l

When my other sister lived on the Makah Indian reservation.. he'd go out with the elder of the tribe and collect mussels.. and make the best chowder..

1:31 am

westford

sounds like he missed his calling he'd be a famous chef on TV now

1:32 am

m9f9l

at night.. he'd listen to the radio.. he had a little earphone on a wire...

1:32 am

m9f9l

and he'd hear a recipe on the radio.. and then he'd try something new.. and we'd have it a few times.. and then not see it again maybe for good.

1:32 am

m9f9l

LOL

1:33 am

m9f9l

he watched graham kerr and Wok with Chan

1:33 am

m9f9l

and talk food with the caterer who lived two houses down..

1:33 am

westford

I liked Kerr

1:34 am

m9f9l

When we went camping in the Ogo Pogo area.. he knew where the really good butcher shops were. I remember eating prociutto in the car.

1:34 am

m9f9l

his dad was german. When there was such a thing as neighborhood butchers (there was one in our neighborhood) he'd get FRESH ground beef.. and eat raw hamburger sandwiches.

1:35 am

westford

don't think I'd like that

1:36 am

m9f9l

My best friend said she ate better camping with us then she did at home.LOL huckleberry pancakes... stew...

1:36 am

m9f9l

and everything from scratch

1:36 am

jillibus

We used to enjoy Steak Tartare at parties -- seasoned ground raw filet mignon

1:37 am

westford

somehow steak works but hamburger doesn't

1:37 am

jillibus

hamburger is too fatty

1:37 am

westford

scratch is the way to go don't always have the time though

1:37 am

m9f9l

yes.. There's a clip on youtube of Julia Child on Letterman.. and the burner she has doesn't work.. so she makes do.. and says it's like tartare and has Dave eat a bite... LOL

1:37 am

m9f9l

it's so funny

1:38 am

m9f9l

I can see my dad now making meatloaf.. and testing his seasoning by eating a bit raw.

1:38 am

m9f9l

Like me.. he didn't use recipes usually

1:38 am

westford

did he like it?

1:39 am

m9f9l

I made meatloaf the other day.. and did the same thing!LOL

1:39 am

westford

Letterman I mean

1:39 am

m9f9l

he looked like he was gonna gag..

1:40 am

m9f9l

(and my meatloaf was REALLY good by the way!)

1:40 am

westford

oh m I finally got to see Gage in the bookcase how sweet he looked

1:40 am

m9f9l

we used to eat hot cereal every day. Oatmeal, cornmeal, Zoom, Roman Meal...

1:40 am

m9f9l

oh yes West! isn't he cute?

1:41 am

jillibus

Betcha never had Red River cereal -- yummy

1:41 am

flosey

that was one of my favs, jilli

1:41 am

m9f9l

and then on the weekend.. my dad woulld take any left over cereal and make a quick bread on a big cookie sheet. SO GOOD hot with butter and syrup.

1:41 am

m9f9l

that sounds familiar jilli...

1:42 am

m9f9l

I had to google it. Yes.. I've had that!

1:42 am

jillibus

a Canadian yum, m9

1:42 am

m9f9l

PRobably when we were in canada

1:42 am

m9f9l

we went there every summer.

1:43 am

m9f9l

and camped at Vaseaux Lake.

1:43 am

jillibus

ah, quite likely, then

1:43 am

m9f9l

and my dad always made friends with all the other campers. Some he corresponded with later.LOL

1:43 am

flosey

where is Vaseaux Lake, m9?

1:44 am

m9f9l

if any of them mentioned it was a good cereal...then he'd have got some and tried it!!LOL

1:44 am

m9f9l

1:47 am

m9f9l

1:47 am

m9f9l

I have 72. I hit 1/2way and stopped!

1:47 am

westford

1:47 am

jillibus

oh dear, m9 -- too young!

1:47 am

m9f9l

he was 82

1:48 am

jillibus

well, I guess YOU were too young.

1:48 am

westford

do you see him in any of your children?

1:48 am

m9f9l

I guess I was more like 28

1:49 am

m9f9l

my eldest was a spitting image of my mom when she was little.

1:49 am

westford

any great cooks blooming?

1:49 am

m9f9l

my mom never saw any of my children.. but my second was around a year when my dad died.

1:50 am

m9f9l

my eldest is a real foodie! Very discerning. I have to buy the correct brand of coconut milk or she tells the difference.

1:50 am

m9f9l

and she can tell the difference between different olive oils..

1:51 am

westford

I have a feeling if your dad wanted coconut milk he'd climb a tree and get some

1:51 am

m9f9l

With my boys... I see more of a similarity with my brother.

1:51 am

m9f9l

brothers.

1:51 am

m9f9l

LOL... I bet he did when he visited his brother in Hawaii. (well ..not climb.. but procure one)

1:52 am

westford

were you the only girl?

1:52 am

m9f9l

my dd does make her own coconut milk sometimes.. and then she created the most LOVELY cookie recipe to use the pulp!

1:52 am

m9f9l

5 girls, 4 boys.

1:52 am

westford

sounds like her husband to be will be eating well

1:53 am

m9f9l

oh yes! she already mails him packages!LOL

1:53 am

m9f9l

and she's started canning now.

1:53 am

m9f9l

made her first jam a couple weeks ago.

1:53 am

westford

is he in the service?

1:54 am

m9f9l

no.. college

1:54 am

westford

I used to send 'care' packages to my husband at school and then on the ship

1:54 am

m9f9l

hoping she gets her own deer this year so she'll have that to take with her when she has her new home.

1:55 am

m9f9l

ok.. one thing about my mom.. terrible cook.. but she DID like sweets.. and could make a dessert. They used to make crybabies to send my oldest brothers in the navy

1:55 am

westford

that'll last awhile

1:55 am

m9f9l

he was in navy west?

1:55 am

westford

never heard of them what are they?

1:55 am

westford

he was

1:56 am

westford

been retired since 85

1:56 am

m9f9l

they are a molasses cookie (made with coffee sometimes) they cook like a mound.. and then you frost the flat sides and stick two together.

1:56 am

westford

they sound great

1:56 am

m9f9l

similar to my FAVORITE christmas cookie: Ginger creams!

1:57 am

westford

I'm a hermit fan myself

1:57 am

m9f9l

which are in the old fashioned Betty Crocker cookbooks.

1:57 am

westford

we should do a virtual cookie exchange for an icon theme

1:57 am

m9f9l

my husband loves snickerdoodles.. but they've never been a big hit with me. I like peanut butter cookies...

1:58 am

m9f9l

that would be cute!

1:58 am

jillibus

send it to sprite, west!

1:58 am

westford

I was just thinking that jilli..of course we'd have to include recipes

1:59 am

jillibus

and why not, west?

1:59 am

m9f9l

hmm... pictures of ginger creams online show them frosted.. but they should be iced.

1:59 am

flosey

they sound good m9

1:59 am

m9f9l

with that powdered sugar icing that glazed over as it cools..

1:59 am

jillibus

m9, make some and take pix :)

1:59 am

m9f9l

3:24 am

rubyfoo

It's very pretty thugh, expensive and with only so0so food

3:24 am

FMitch

ah well, hope the weather is good and at least you don't have to cook.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

but at least it motivated me to dress nicley for a change

3:24 am

rubyfoo

nicely*

3:25 am

Atalante

can the chows go too??

3:26 am

rubyfoo

that would be a hoot -- to big stinky dogs on a fancy boat --- raofl!

3:26 am

FMitch

Doubt it Ata.

3:26 am

Atalante

I only go places I can take Hobbit too :P

3:26 am

rubyfoo

3:27 am

rubyfoo

you can take dogs everyplace here

3:27 am

FMitch

lol I gave myself a manicure yesterday ruby.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

when I was working, I used to go once a week -- now I've become a country bumpkin, generally unkempt

3:29 am

rubyfoo

Now, if I dress up. the housekeeper says I look like a "sapin Noel", a Christmas tree!!!!

3:30 am

FMitch

phone, brb

3:30 am

Atalante

looool

3:30 am

Atalante

at least not a lapin Noel

3:32 am

rubyfoo

dod you know the French expression for being stood up (like for a date)? It's "faire un lapin russe" Huh?

3:33 am

Atalante

oooo! didn't know that. but the frech do have very odd experssions ...

3:33 am

Atalante

ma petite puce???!

3:34 am

rubyfoo

eeew! and now they evidently have a puce epidemic and keep showing ads on TV of a little red-haired curly-haired girl with a monkey on her head EATING the puces! double eeeew

3:34 am

Atalante

ewwwww!

3:34 am

rubyfoo

no one could ever accused the French of having taste, especially on TV!

3:35 am

Atalante

yuk yuk

3:35 am

rubyfoo

the ad makes me laugh while shuddering

3:36 am

Atalante

pauvre singe

3:37 am

Atalante

do they eat puces? I suppose they do

3:37 am

rubyfoo

pretty funny to see the monkey grooming the kid, though

3:38 am

rubyfoo

I think that's what they do when they groom each other, big part of their social lives! Sounds like a party to me.....

3:38 am

Atalante

mmmm puce parties!

3:38 am

rubyfoo

I try riad once a week, it should be an acceptle word. Is imaret in enable?

3:39 am

rubyfoo

3:39 am

Atalante

3:40 am

FMitch

Gotta poof for a while have to pay some cheques into the bank and that means I mustget dressed and it looks like the heavens are about to open. TTFN

lynxxx

Hello Sally & Zooz!

3:56 am

Sally-catlover

I see Heinz is in the grid :-) I did try it, just in case, seeing what strange words are sometimes allowed.

3:56 am

Sally-catlover

Hi lynxxx

3:57 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Lynxxx, a happy belated Birthday to you, hope you had a great day :-)

3:57 am

zoozzoom

Yes i entered that too sally, no luck tho..lol

3:57 am

lynxxx

Thankyou Zooz - and I did

3:57 am

Sally-catlover

Oh yes, from me too! I'm bad at knowing when Babbler's birthdays are, and don't always look at the chat.

3:58 am

Sally-catlover

The make of car is in there though zooz, which is allowed.

3:58 am

lynxxx

TY Sally. Sorry for disappearing yesterday, wasn't up to that 'person' and his comments. Ugh

3:59 am

zoozzoom

ooh, thanks Sally :-)

3:59 am

zoozzoom

oh, did we have a troll yesterday then Lynxxx

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

I ignored him lynxxx, after he called me an idiot. Then he called sprite bitchy - but we apparently were the ones with an attitude ... Not meaning ANY disrespect to American babblers, but his language sounded American.

4:00 am

zoozzoom

oh sorry, yes i know what you mean now.

4:00 am

lynxxx

not a troll just a very opinionated person who was blunt in the extreme

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

It isn't worth getting into a discussion with people like that, especially online when things can be so easily misunderstood.

4:02 am

lynxxx

this is grim, only got 50 words and I am already searching

4:02 am

zoozzoom

lol, you are doing well, i only have 34 :-(

4:03 am

Sally-catlover

I only have 35 :-( But I broke my personal rule about not joining in the chog before doing a certain percentage of the grid.

4:03 am

dizgrannie

4:03 am

4:17 am

Patxxx

Did anyone enter Heinz and then decide they would have them for tea? Subliminal advertising might help us through the hard times. But not caviar or posh cars and expensive handbags.

4:17 am

sprite

4:29 am

Wanted to say sorry to you if I was the one who chased you away yesterday, lyn.

4:30 am

lynxxx

oh no , I couldn't handle that guy at all

4:31 am

zoozzoom

thanks sally, got 6 so far too.

4:31 am

sprite

I shouldn't have answered him at all, realised too late I was feeding a troll.

4:31 am

Sally-catlover

Do you have the 5/18? Nice one to get,

4:32 am

zoozzoom

woo hoo, just found an 8

4:32 am

herinfernallady

4:32 am

zoozzoom

4:32 am

zoozzoom

herin, take without paying.

4:32 am

4:33 am

sprite

*grins*
I hope Andree got her Apple working to her liking.

4:33 am

Sally-catlover

What are first two letters of the 8 zooz?

4:33 am

zoozzoom

ir

4:33 am

Sally-catlover

She hasn't emailed me yet so far.

4:34 am

sprite

that should be a good sign then, if the helpdesk could sort her out. Or it could mean she did not get the email to work.

4:34 am

sprite

th5/18? Looking now.

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

Is she on facebook sprite?

4:35 am

sprite

I am a FB nitwit, sorry

4:35 am

herinfernallady

I think any new pc will have its quirks and bits to sort

4:36 am

Sally-catlover

But you have a fb account, because we are "friends" there. Just thought if she was on fb I could contact her that way if necessary.

4:36 am

Sally-catlover

Yes herin, and it is a totally different experience using a sssshh (looks round furtively) Mac.

4:37 am

sprite

yes I do have an account. I go there about once every 2 months. Sorry to be of so little help.

4:37 am

lynxxx

lol Sally

4:37 am

Sally-catlover

Same here sprite :-) Some people obviously spend all day on fb, detailing their every cup of tea.

4:38 am

zoozzoom

oooh, good id4 Sally

4:38 am

sprite

ah, about Macs, I learned another fun one yesterday. The reason Mac users don't talk about th5 wonderful Macs. It is because there are only 2 kind of people.
1. The Mac users, and they already know how splendid th5 Macs are.
2. The people who don't use Macs. And why add to th4 misery by pointing out the obvious?

4:38 am

zoozzoom

putting kettle on now.

4:38 am

Sally-catlover

So here's my exciting news for the day: I'm on my second large mug of coffee, and have had bread and marmelade for breakfast. :-)))

4:39 am

sprite

roflol Sally! I am idly pulling on my braid while searching for babble words.

4:39 am

lynxxx

just with a drop of milk thanks Zooz, no sugar

4:39 am

Sally-catlover

lol sprite. Think I've heard something similar before.

4:39 am

Sally-catlover

Braid? In your hair? Well I suppose it makes a change from the rose behind the ear.

4:40 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry, just realised I can't spell marmalade.

4:40 am

sprite

yep, in the hair. Still the night braid, imagine. Lazy cow, me.

4:42 am

herinfernallady

I have had my windoz for 2 years now and I still find little quirks

4:42 am

zoozzoom

sally, did you fi4 the ir8?

4:42 am

Sally-catlover

Just found it zooz, and it gave me the other four I words from that square as well, so thanks.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

was just going to say there are more..lol

4:43 am

sprite

windows is incredibly buggy and hackers friendly. But some programs just won't run on Macs for me... yet anyway.

4:43 am

Sally-catlover

I tend to spell those words with an S, so didn't see them straight away.

4:44 am

herinfernallady

Drat it. I have to vacuum the carpet, the cat and the back of this laptop

4:44 am

Sally-catlover

There are usually alternatives sprite. And most of the software is either cheap or free, as opposed to Windows. I'm not on a hobby horse here, I hasten to add.

4:44 am

sprite

*giggle* Well I like your attitude, Sally.

4:45 am

Sally-catlover

Which programmes won't run on the Mac?

4:45 am

zoozzoom

ok, rain has stopped for now, time to get out and do some errands, take care all, bbl

4:46 am

sprite

bye for now, zooz, have a good day and take care of you *hugs*

4:46 am

Sally-catlover

bye zooz, enjoy the day and thanks for the help.

4:46 am

herinfernallady

DOes someoen want to do this vacuuming for me in the AM?

4:46 am

herinfernallady

Bye ZOooo

4:46 am

sprite

Astrospiegel, Starlight

4:46 am

sprite

I will do the cat for you, lady

4:47 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry herin, I have my own dust.

4:47 am

Sally-catlover

Don't know those, will go and google.

4:47 am

sprite

astrology programs

4:47 am

sprite

I believe there is a Starlight for Mac, but I would have to buy a new version then... quite expensive

4:47 am

herinfernallady

Sprite you just want to see a cat be vacuumed without clawing

4:48 am

sprite

I can vacuum any cat, lol. Well, almost.

4:49 am

herinfernallady

ALl the cat lovers out there don't stresss. Pandora is deaf and doesnlt mind

4:49 am

sprite

my late cat loved it

4:50 am

lynxxx

watching SBS Inferna?. Iranian cooking, head and hoof soup for Sunday breakfast - requires strong stomach especially cooking it.

4:51 am

sprite

hmmm thanks but no thanks, lyn, LOL

4:54 am

sprite

how many other words are related to the ir8, please?

4:55 am

herinfernallady

I am Lynxx it does interest me

4:55 am

Sally-catlover

One really sprite, the 8 is the pt. But there are two other close words which just leave out one letter, from the same square.

4:56 am

sprite

I think I have been barking up the wrong tree then. I thought they had the same root and was stuck at 3. But now I get it :)
Thanks

4:56 am

Sally-catlover

I didn't put it very well.

4:56 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx what I don't like is the few places that sell this stuff wouldn't know what Food standards are

4:58 am

lynxxx

It all looks okay to me. The food looks lovely except for that soup

4:58 am

sprite

just me being daft, Sally

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

Did you get the th 5/a8?

4:59 am

kje

daft sally

4:59 am

herinfernallady

The places they are showing look fantastic. I am just thinking of the handful that aren't. There is one place that was closed and still had the meat on the kabab thingie

4:59 am

sprite

yes, thank you :)

5:00 am

Sally-catlover

You calling me daft kje? My brother's bigger than your brother, I bet!

5:00 am

kje

I bet not, actually

5:00 am

sprite

lol silly kje

5:01 am

lynxxx

Guess you will always get restaurants that don't heed food standards. I have seen some dodgy ones - and not Iranian either

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

:-)

5:01 am

kje

I was calling sprite daft sally, but ow I see she used a comma

5:01 am

sprite

weird, with all the french words that are in enable, that enfin isn't.

5:05 am

herinfernallady

Thanks

5:06 am

Sally-catlover

It always annoys me that I can't use "enth". As in .. to the enth degree.

5:06 am

herinfernallady

What about Egyptian?

5:06 am

sprite

crazy enable

5:06 am

lynxxx

why is that? We all say to the enth degree too

5:06 am

kje

it is spelled nth

5:07 am

Atalante

think it's nth

5:07 am

sprite

hi Ata

5:07 am

kje

ata! eons!

5:07 am

lynxxx

5:07 am

Atalante

Sally-catlover

So you could have nths then.

5:07 am

herinfernallady

HI Ata

5:07 am

Atalante

almost in the PB, kje ;)

5:08 am

kje

is the e a fish?

5:08 am

sprite

that would be logical, Sally. So it probably isn't valid.

5:08 am

kje

almost does'nt count ; )

5:08 am

Atalante

nooo, just pointing it out for you :P

5:09 am

Sally-catlover

Free clue: there is a word that is allowed and ends in enth.

5:10 am

zoozzoom

back

5:10 am

sprite

not a fish

5:10 am

zoozzoom

another clue for the same word `12`

5:10 am

kje

clue then?

5:11 am

sprite

not a fish, but a tapeworm

5:11 am

Sally-catlover

Don't make it too easy, zooz :-)

5:11 am

herinfernallady

OK brb need to reboot

5:11 am

sprite

Ata can give a better clue for sure

5:12 am

Atalante

ata could?

5:12 am

kje

I don't think I should have to deal with tapeworms this early in the morning

5:12 am

zoozzoom

soz Sally :-)

5:12 am

Atalante

oh, I like tapeworms

5:12 am

sprite

I think tapeworms belong to them, but they can be other worms too. But not sure. En7

5:13 am

Atalante

I would think so

5:13 am

Atalante

animals internal to an animal or person

5:13 am

sprite

can I be smug now?

5:13 am

sprite

ok ok, you be smug. Much better explanation.

5:14 am

Atalante

I would think so!

5:14 am

kje

5:14 am

5:14 am

Got it. ty one and all.

5:15 am

5:16 am

sprite

my son is hamstering plates, cups, spoons and glasses in his room. Yesterday I collected it all and put it on top of his keyboard and computer. He just put it aside. Now I have switched it for his keyboard. Anyone who thinks this may work better?

5:16 am

kje

5:16 am

61 here

5:17 am

kje

LOL sprite - go mom!

5:17 am

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

I remember this phase well sprite.

5:17 am

Atalante

we say squirreling ;)

5:17 am

sprite

:D Any good advice for me?

5:17 am

sprite

squirreling! Oh I love that. Thanks Ata.

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

Remove keyboard and leave crockery in its place. Swop the keyboard for the crockery.

5:17 am

Atalante

:D

5:17 am

lynxxx

buy him paper plates, plastic cutlery and styrofoam cups - and never enter his room again

5:18 am

sprite

great, that is what I did. Will report later on how it worked :D

5:18 am

sprite

roflol lyn, that is a great one too!

5:18 am

Atalante

every cup or plate left in there = 1 evening's washing up for him to do

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, I've just seen that's what you said.

5:19 am

sprite

I love you girls. Wonderful advice.

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

When my son was older than yours, about 17 I think, he complained that I wasn't treating him like an adult. I said, well, I will treat you like an adult but being an adult means having responsibilities.

5:20 am

sprite

yes, it means acting like an adult too. I fully agree.

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

He said, fine. So I said, I won't worry about what time you come in, but you have to do your own washing and look after your room.

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

I stuck to my side of the bargain. At the end of the week we heard him go to the airing cupboard where I normally left his clean clothes.

5:21 am

Sally-catlover

I swear we could hear the light bulb go on over his head - no clean clothes!

5:21 am

sprite

roflolllllll

5:21 am

zoozzoom

LOL

5:21 am

sprite

hi zooz, wb :)

5:21 am

zoozzoom

thanks, i got wet in the end..lol

5:21 am

sprite

how did he react?

5:22 am

Sally-catlover

It made me a more relaxed mother, I never had to enter his room :-)

5:22 am

Sally-catlover

He learnt how to use the washing machine, sprite.

5:22 am

sprite

wonderful. I will remember that for over a few years, thank you.

5:22 am

Sally-catlover

I'm not sure he mastered using an ir4, but then I haven't either.

5:23 am

sprite

I select my clothes on not needing an ir4

5:23 am

Atalante

me too!

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

Me too :-) I have to sit to use an ir4 anyway, so it's easier just not to use it.

5:24 am

sprite

ah, but you could drop yours at Haz's, Ata! She will love doing it for you.

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

He (son) is also a brilliant cook because I let him experiment, didn't fuss, and he got his own meals during this "growing up" period.

5:24 am

Kallia

ironing? what a waste of time, although I do iron fabric for art work!

5:24 am

Atalante

when my mum comes here, she ir4s eveyrthing she can find!

5:24 am

sprite

same here, Sally. My sister just started her own ir4 service though. Surprising how many clients she has already.

5:24 am

Kallia

hello all

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

He likes his food :-)

5:25 am

sprite

that is really great, Sally. Our kids cook too and they love it.

5:25 am

hi Kallia

5:25 am

zoozzoom

hello, Kallia

5:25 am

Atalante

hi kallia

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

Naughty Kallia, and here we all are avoiding the word.

5:25 am

Atalante

free for all to say iron now!

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

He does all the cooking for his family.

5:25 am

Kallia

oops didn't even realise it is there!

5:25 am

lynxxx

hi Kallia

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

Gives me recipes now :-)

5:25 am

sprite

lol Ata, my MIL was the same. When she stepped in when I was in hospital with Tim's birth, I came home to a house with even the underwear and socks ir4ed.

5:26 am

Atalante

yep! underwear, socks, handkerchiefs, bed sheets ...

5:26 am

Sally-catlover

Socks!!! Underwear!! I gather some people even ir4 tea towels. Not good for the environment is my excuse.

5:26 am

Atalante

tea towels too!

5:27 am

Sally-catlover

Just too much time on th5 hands.

5:27 am

Atalante

they *enjoy* it

5:27 am

sprite

all I ever ir4ed were blouses and business shirts. Though as a kid I had to do all the ir4ing. So I could, if I wanted. But I don't.

5:28 am

lynxxx

nothing wrong with 'flat' tea towels, they fit in the drawer better...but i don't do sheets or underwear or socks

5:28 am

sprite

most stuff ir4s on the body, we say here

5:28 am

Atalante

I'm brilliant at ironing after being in air cadets for years. I just hate doing it

5:28 am

Kallia

when my son used to hoarded the cutlery etc, I removed everything from the kitchen....he soon got the message..not only did he have to take it down, but he had to wash it too. At that stage he wasn't even eating with us, that stopped soon too

5:29 am

sprite

smart move, Kallia

5:29 am

Kallia

ah my son being in the army cadets sorted out the ironing proble, showed him once and never ironed anything of his again!

5:30 am

Jivingjenny0

my daughter offered to do my daughter-in-laws ironing for a birthday present. When she arrived at the house the ironing was in a cupboard and was full from floor to ceiling!! it took her two days - she never offered again!!!

5:30 am

sprite

aw that is abusing a very thoughtful gift. What a shame, Jivingjenny, and hi.

5:30 am

Kallia

LOL wonder how long she saved it up for

5:31 am

Jivingjenny0

she loves ironing and ofter comes over for a cup of tea and does my ironing for me.

5:31 am

lynxxx

One of my claims to fame is failing ir**ing in Secondary School (had 'domestic' subjects in those days)...I failed in the handkerchief ir**ing!!!! I was at that stage ir**ing for the whole house as my Mum was sick

5:32 am

sprite

that school must have had funny demands on the results then, lyn

5:32 am

Atalante

wonder if haz had to do ironing exams

5:32 am

Sally-catlover

And where does she live Jenny? :-)

5:32 am

Kallia

handkerchief ir**ing! my goodness.....though I do remember having to take a woollen garment to school to be taught how to wash it!

5:32 am

sprite

that is sweet, JJenny

5:32 am

lynxxx

thinking she will adopt you Sally?

5:33 am

Sally-catlover

One lives in hope.

5:33 am

Jivingjenny0

unfortunately for you Sally she lives in Oxfordshire

5:34 am

Sally-catlover

I could travel :-) I would say good morning, I just happen to have a car full of creased clothes :-)

5:34 am

Kallia

not too far from me then jj..send her to hampshire for the day please.

5:34 am

Atalante

yay I'll be in Oxford tomorrow

5:34 am

Jivingjenny0

From the time she was about 8 she has always like ironing especially shirts & blouses but definitely not pillowcases or teatowels.

5:34 am

Kallia

take your ironing with you Ata!

5:35 am

zoozzoom

i used to live in Oxford :-)

5:35 am

sprite

better pack your ir4ing too, Ata

5:35 am

Sally-catlover

I don't mind pillowcases so much because they don't have fiddly bits.

5:35 am

Sally-catlover

Babble meet in Oxford!

5:35 am

sprite

as long as it is a rectangle, I don't mind.

5:35 am

I hope you let your Mother know that she has become an instant hit Jenny

5:39 am

Sally-catlover

Have struggled with the U words and will go back to them.

5:39 am

Atalante

if you could clean a wound with pee, it would be called this

uriseptic?

5:40 am

Trifioso

got it! nice cryptic clue!

5:41 am

sprite

yeah, I read that some people use their pee for several purposes. Some even drink it... for th5 health. I say, if my body doesn't want it, why put it back in?

5:41 am

sprite

yay Trif! :)

5:41 am

Trifioso

indeed. it's full of the stuff your body filtered out. putting back in is just silly

5:42 am

sprite

amen to that, Trif

5:42 am

zoozzoom

And fireworks for me.

5:42 am

sprite

wtg zooz!

5:42 am

lynxxx

Hooray for Zooz!!

5:43 am

Sally-catlover

I suppose if you drink your own pee you could market it as uriaid.

5:44 am

sprite

lol Sally

5:44 am

Sally-catlover

or uriade

5:44 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I tried them both!

5:44 am

Atalante

does that mean gatorade comes from alligators?

5:44 am

sprite

think of the ending of the yellowy stuff you can clean wounds with... it stings

5:44 am

Sally-catlover

You mean it doesn't? Shocked.

5:45 am

sprite

always thought it did, Ata

5:45 am

Atalante

I was never sure

5:45 am

sprite

sure gives most teenagers a gator smile

5:46 am

Trifioso

I always heard that gatorade got its name because it was formulated by the coaches in florida for the Gator football team, and then the decided to sell it

5:46 am

Atalante

does make you wonder what's in lucozade

5:46 am

Trifioso

I have no idea if that is true or just a legend....

5:46 am

sprite

and in Adelaide

5:47 am

Sally-catlover

6:23 am

And I just caught the end of the urine discussion.....FWIW urine is sterile.

6:25 am

EspritdJean

sterile when it comes out, but quickly becomes contaminated

6:25 am

Yep.....bleah

6:43 am

carleekat

i found out some news regarding the 2 suicides in my city....( involving ongoing investigation) and...there is way more happening then I expected....and there is more to come based upon evidence...it really sucks being in the know..knowing too much and not being able to talk about it to anyone....i cant say more... but its really bad...hopefully more is diverted...

6:43 am

Hello, Esprit - how are you?

6:44 am

hi haz, doing ok

6:45 am

Haz1558

That's good.

6:45 am

EspritdJean

are these kids making suicide pacts?

6:46 am

Atalante

haz! haz! did you know that Lyn failed ironing exams at school?

6:46 am

Haz1558

Good gracious! How does the woman hold her head up in society?

6:46 am

Atalante

she failed on handkerchief ironing

6:47 am

Haz1558

Not even on pintucks or pleats?

6:47 am

Atalante

nope

6:48 am

Haz1558

It's very brave of her to go through life with such a failure - and to admit it in public!

6:49 am

Haz1558

This grid isn't easy, is it?

6:49 am

Atalante

did you have ironing exams?

6:50 am

Haz1558

No, but that's probably because my mortal fear of sewing forced me to ignore domestic science as a subject.

6:50 am

sandrafrances

how many words today please

6:50 am

Haz1558

143, sandra.

6:50 am

Hello, Sally.

6:52 am

Sally-catlover

There's no answer to that Ata.

6:53 am

jmcnrick

the fi** department frowns on ironing paper hankies

6:53 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Haz. I have fireworks now so am thinking of sneaking off, despite the fascinating discussion of ir4 ing methods.

6:53 am

Haz1558

Kleenex balsam tissues are simply the best. You shouldn't go through a cold without them.

6:53 am

Sally-catlover

Any clues needed?

6:53 am

jmcnrick

ack pb for me!

6:53 am

6:55 am

6:55 am

SeaSpray

do they frown on ironing hair too?

6:55 am

jmcnrick

did you tell car that when she needed it ata?

6:56 am

Sally-catlover

tr 8/45 which is tr + sounds like the crying vegetable.

6:56 am

jmcnrick

i remember ir**ing hair my sister did it all the time

6:57 am

jmcnrick

Yes, earlier.

6:58 am

Boobear

hi all

6:58 am

good he got quite upset by car's disclosure about the two teenage suicides

6:58 am

Haz1558

I know - I don't think carlee realises what has been going on.

6:58 am

Marc Freeman

Good morninng but it did not get the ir or the tr8 clues, what am I missing

6:58 am

Haz1558

Hello, boo.

6:59 am

jmcnrick

she needed to vent but he needed to not hear it

6:59 am

Sally-catlover

I missed that disclosure, that must have been earlier today?

6:59 am

jmcnrick

but he just left so maybe he was protecting himself

6:59 am

EspritdJean

this is a pretty touchy subject lately

6:59 am

Haz1558

It was yesterday, Sally.

6:59 am

jmcnrick

okay got an early day at work so i can go to a day baseball game bbl

7:00 am

jmcnrick

bye all

7:00 am

Haz1558

I know, Esprit, I'd hate for anybody to put their foot in it, simply because they don't know all the troubles people have been going through.

7:00 am

Sally-catlover

The ir: the first four letters are the household tool we have been discussing, then add letters which make it sound as if you are doing it (hint: use the high point tile).

7:00 am

7:02 am

jmcnrick

i am sure again so sorry

7:02 am

jmcnrick

*poof*

7:02 am

Haz1558

Esprit, it's difficult for us to know how to be with you. I'm erring on the side of caution, knowing you know that I wish you well, but not wanting to refer to it all the time so that you're not defined by what has happened.

7:02 am

EspritdJean

no one saw it coming

7:02 am

Atalante

so sorry, Esprit, I know what a shock it can be

7:02 am

carleekat

i am sorry i hurt anyone...i am gone..goodbye

7:03 am

Sally-catlover

Marc, that ir will also give you the two other sfrom that tile if you remove one letter. It won't be an IR.

7:03 am

Sally-catlover

Thinking of tr clue.

7:03 am

Haz1558

carlee - you didn't know. You know now so that you can understand what happened when zooz left. He had been in a bad way recently.

7:03 am

EspritdJean

tk all

7:03 am

Sally-catlover

tr + marriage is a ***** between two people, but double the first consonant.

7:04 am

Marc Freeman

Got the 7 from it not sure what else there is?

7:04 am

Sally-catlover

You got the ir7 and 8? From the same square, drop the first consonant to give you two other words.

7:05 am

SeaSpray

good mornining...anyone have a clue for the en7?

8:35 am

Haz1558

en7 - first three letter of 'to go in', mix up the letters of a place where you go to view animals so that the consonant is sandwiched between the vowels, wrap it up with another, different vowel.

9:31 am

carleekat

well..my kids a little old for the sing songs for a few more years..then they will be young enough again...but...smores... and my son is determined to teach both his mother and his sister to spit "like a man"...so..as gross as it sounds..we practise by the fire ( this been going on for more then 2 years)...and...the 3 of us laugh our asses off...which is all that counts

9:34 am

zoozzoom

LOL, spit like a man..now that is funny, even i am wondering how you spit like a man..if i spit, it goes about an inch, or on my shoes..lol....not a spitting person me. :-)

9:34 am

carleekat

he's a hockey/ football/ rugby player....they know how to spit...

9:36 am

zoozzoom

ahh, now that makes sense!

9:37 am

carleekat

something about arching the tongue...pushing the spit against the back of your top teeth... and pursing ur lips,,,far too technical for my pea brain

9:37 am

carleekat

llets just say..i don a teatowel for a bib and give it the old college try

9:38 am

4:09 pm

cosdem

to me thats the worst disease ever/

4:10 pm

lynxxx

We all have to pass sooner or later but let's hope the current 'find' leads to an Alzheimers cure soon so we all need not worry about this disease

4:10 pm

daykat

I agree with you cos, you lose a little of the person you love every day for years and years,

4:11 pm

cosdem

and when its time.. they cant say good bye and that really hurt

4:11 pm

daykat

there seems to be some recent advances lynxxx, hopefully will help for us baby boomers who are heading that way

4:49 pm

Quillkdc

can someone translate? Are you giving each other clues?

4:50 pm

kje

it is awesome... saves lots of time

4:50 pm

Sure, NB, Asians are special, lol!

7:49 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm pretty proud that I can use chopsticks at all, honestly ;) took a while for me to learn. They aren't logical.

7:50 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Jill. You'd better believe it ;)

7:51 pm

jillibus

I've been able to use chopsticks for as long as I can remember! Must be because I was born in Peking, lol.

7:51 pm

saintfranny

I've got 2 nice sets of chopsticks that we got as wedding favours at a Chinese friend's wedding a few years back - but I can't seem to master it. Maybe cuz I'm left handed, I don't know.

7:51 pm

Nancy Boy

Sigh...being born in Korea didn't make me good at it ;) I must have always been destined to come to the UK.

7:52 pm

Whereas you, NB, are just too reoriented (ahem) to the UK.

lol,is not bad now,but when we used to live up north as kids,you would never want to be the first one up in the morning

8:26 pm

stidgmere

Hi herinfernallady! Happy to see you!

8:26 pm

crosshair

first one up had to run across that ice cold floor,stoke the wood stove and had to put on the water to boil

8:26 pm

Jillyjill

Hi Herin, how be thee?

8:26 pm

herinfernallady

Cold

8:27 pm

Jillyjill

Not too bad here, no ice in the toilet anyhoo...lol

8:27 pm

Bugsaw

when it was that cold for me I just moved by bed beside the wood stove and kept the wood underneath the bed. That way I only had to stick one arm out until the air was warmer

8:28 pm

Bugsaw

I don't think I was Canadian in a previous life

8:28 pm

crosshair

indeed

8:29 pm

crosshair

then by 1o am the stove was throwing out so much heat,it was not uncommon so see all the kitchen window open even though it was minus 30 outside lol

8:29 pm

herinfernallady

O dear I do not want to watch the Indian Games. This is terrible

8:30 pm

crosshair

if they do not fix up the athlete villiage,it may not matter..no one will show up

8:30 pm

Bugsaw

do you mean the COommonwealth games herein?

8:30 pm

Jillyjill

bbl..son on phone

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

Yes

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

They are using child labor

8:31 pm

crosshair

the canadians have been told to hold off for now till they see if things improve

8:32 pm

Bugsaw

I heard on the news there are lots of hygeine issues too. Some of our athletes didn't go

8:32 pm

herinfernallady

I for one will be avoiding it.

8:32 pm

stidgmere

I think India bit off more than it could chew. Very sad to see the shambles.

8:32 pm

crosshair

we have 255 people all set,but not if things stay the way they are

8:33 pm

herinfernallady

I know that the hygiene is an issue but that can be cleaned. It is the child labor that pisses me off. THat and I was reading a report that the laborers are using any were to go to the bathroom so that shows there is no standards of building or facilities for workers

8:33 pm

crosshair

so many have died because of unsafe labour practices over there building that mess

8:34 pm

crosshair

from all the reports i have read today,if i were an athlete,i would pull out

8:34 pm

Bugsaw

They had them here in BC in the early 90's. I took my kids who were in elementary school then and they were thrilled. The athletes said it was the first time they were treated as if they were famous so huge numbers of them set personal best records

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

I personally don't know why they chose there or Africa for the soccor

8:35 pm

crosshair

does anyone remember the other runner for location?

8:35 pm

Bugsaw

not me

8:35 pm

herinfernallady

Canada

8:36 pm

crosshair

they should of come here

8:36 pm

Bugsaw

I agree

8:36 pm

herinfernallady

Ontorio

8:36 pm

herinfernallady

Pardon my poor spelling

8:37 pm

stidgmere

It makes sense since BC and Montreal have both hosted major Olympic games recently.

8:37 pm

herinfernallady

It makes sense NOT to use an impoverished country just to exploit their poor even more.

8:37 pm

crosshair

montreal was a bit of a mess ,but we did bc very well

8:38 pm

Bugsaw

I think the hope was that it would create work and standards for Africa and India but it kind of backfired on them

8:38 pm

crosshair

hell,most are only making 1.25 a day

8:39 pm

crosshair

they are stuck in that caste system of thiers

8:39 pm

herinfernallady

Is the other 8 TR?

8:39 pm

Bugsaw

supposedly, they have done away with the caste system crossy.

8:39 pm

herinfernallady

(bullfrog on that one Bugs)

8:40 pm

Bugsaw

I am not sure it will ever be non existant, but their is a black man as president in the US

8:40 pm

crosshair

that why when paul simon did his amazing graceland record,he was very carefull to pay any african he hired 3 times the normal U.S rate

8:41 pm

herinfernallady

Is the other 8 a TR olease?

8:41 pm

Bugsaw

I only have 1 8 so far

8:41 pm

crosshair

i work with a hindu fella..things have not changed,his is an arranged marriage and his father house in india has low caste people working for almost nothing.if you are not born to a good name..your relegated to the low end

8:41 pm

Jellen

Hello, there is a tr8

8:43 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Jellen. Thanks

8:43 pm

Bugsaw

I agree crossy, but it would have been nice if the construction in India was run by someone assigned by the Commonwealth committee so they could have used this project as a way to teach another way. Unless people have a new way to do things, nothing can change on its own

8:43 pm

herinfernallady

any clue on taht?

8:44 pm

crosshair

i was chatting with him and his brother one day and his wife was running the till for a bit,i cannot remeber what we were discussing,but i said well ask your wife so we can get a womans view on this and he said quote "a woman from my country has no view,it is mans work" i was stunned ,as they have been over here 8 years now...

9:07 pm

Nef

he's doing well, lbd. He's been a bit lonely for the past 2 weeks as I've had to work full time; but when I asked him why he didn't go out on his scooter, he hadn't thought of that

9:14 pm

Nef

9:17 pm

Jillyjill

yay baby!!

9:17 pm

Nef

lbd, *sometimes* the neurons just don't click.

9:18 pm

lbdawger

do you think if you left him a list of things he can do whilst your away, that will help him?

9:20 pm

Nef

lbd, he loses them! I've tried daily lists; even used the dry erase board by the door but I think he loses them on purpose. :-)

9:20 pm

Nef

but I won't complain because of how far he's come in the past several months

9:21 pm

lbdawger

ahh, will have to come up with some other id4's...subliminal messages sent to him in his sleep

9:21 pm

lbdawger

i know, Nef. I'm just teasing. he has done a remarkable recovery

9:23 pm

Nef

I've tried calling him and asking him to do things; some days that works. I'm just happy that he's starting to cook again (although hot dogs and boxed scallop potatoes are a far cry from the gourmet meals he used to make)

9:24 pm

lbdawger

he'll get there again, nef. although i'd hide the hot dogs! gag

9:24 pm

Nef

and *sometimes* I think he "forgets" on purpose, you know? ;-)

9:24 pm

lbdawger

ahhh, selective memory!

9:25 pm

Jellen

In defense of people accused of having selective memories, sometimes we do honestly forget!

9:25 pm

lbdawger

it's like hubz selective hearing, til i busted him with an audiologist!

9:25 pm

Nef

yeah, my dtr. went shopping and came home with all these strange, chemical preserved packaged food

9:26 pm

lbdawger

that sounds...scary

9:27 pm

Nef

Jellen, I understand that forgetfulness can be real. But why does he "forget" some of the most obvious things?

9:27 pm

Jillyjill

Guess I am going to have to give up on grid at 35 left...monkeys exhausted, cannot find any of them...really frustrated!!

9:27 pm

lbdawger

there's forgetting and there's not wanting to do something so you "forget" to do it.

9:28 pm

Jellen

I don't know how I do it, but I do!

9:28 pm

lbdawger

whatcha need, Jilly?

9:28 pm

Nef

And lbd, it sounds like you really caught your hubz!

9:28 pm

Jillyjill
