I actually MADE a coffee-cake for bridge today! With blueberries and Italian plums -- yum!

12:52 am

flosey

12:52 am

J. C.

Your house looks lovely, Jill. :)

12:52 am

flosey

sounds yummy jilli

12:52 am

jillibus

It suits me, JC -- thanks.

12:53 am

flosey

you should see her gardens, JC

12:53 am

Christine

Time for a water-break - 0ne oz for every two pounds ... another good reason to lose weight.

12:53 am

jillibus

And half of it is now in the freezer ;)

12:54 am

flosey

great to have on hand, jilli

12:54 am

J. C.

I'm sure, flosey - probably nicer than mine. Except for my large lavender bush. ;)

12:55 am

Pinikula

I have a lavendar bush in my backyard...but they're 'illegal' here now...

12:55 am

J. C.

How can lavender bushes be illegal?!

12:55 am

jillibus

why on earth should lavender be illegal?

12:56 am

J. C.

No kidding - who smokes it? :P

12:56 am

J. C.

That would give someone lovely breath. :P

12:56 am

Pinikula

because it's not 'native' to this area and is an intrusive plant? I don't know...

12:56 am

flosey

my goodness, we have lavender farms here!

12:57 am

J. C.

How ridiculous. As if you don't have other non-native plants growing there? Nonsense.

12:57 am

Pinikula

I just know that because it's already here, I don't have to get rid of it...just can't plant any.

12:57 am

J. C.

Or else, what - you'll be arrested? :P

12:57 am

Pinikula

cha right...

12:57 am

J. C.

Grow marijuana then...

12:57 am

Pinikula

hold on - brb

12:58 am

Pinikula

oops...wrong plant...my bad...

12:58 am

Pinikula

...they banned the butterfly bush...

12:58 am

Pinikula

JC, that grows rampant here...

12:59 am

J. C.

Glad I don't live in that country...

12:59 am

J. C.

What, wild?

12:59 am

jillibus

same comment re butterfly bush -- quite harmelss!

12:59 am

J. C.

I'm wondering how this can be?

1:00 am

jillibus

JC -- can't get into the acrobot guestbook -- just tried -- some kind of error...

1:00 am

Pinikula

due to the plant's aggressive competition with Douglas Fir seedlings, an economically key crop for the state, the plant is ironically bad for butterflies. While it attracts the insects, it chokes out other native plants that would feed caterpillars, and is not itself a caterpillar habitat. In New Zealand, which has a similar climate to that of Oregon, the butterfly bush is so invasive that there are dense monoculture stands where nothing else grows.

1:00 am

J. C.

I'll check the settings, Jill.

1:00 am

J. C.

Oh?

1:01 am

jillibus

Well, they're pretty eco-sensitive around here too, but no such ban. I have 2 buddleias and neither have been aggressive

1:05 am

J. C.

We need a new acro word. Any suggestions?

1:05 am

Pinikula

they are, but well...I live in a tree state

1:06 am

Pinikula

* thinking JC *

1:06 am

Pinikula

easy or hard?

1:07 am

jillibus

I thought of a good one months ago but can't remember it now -- wrote it down on a slip of paper but do you think I can find it?

1:08 am

jillibus

Pini, we live with Douglas firs here too...

1:08 am

Pinikula

too funny, jilli ;)

1:09 am

Pinikula

I never know what the reasoning is around here, jilli...sometimes they come up with the weirdest things

1:11 am

J. C.

A good word for the acro game, Jill?

1:12 am

J. C.

We have one now, Jill - just posted.

1:12 am

Pinikula

I'll check the bot in the morning to see what was chosen...calling it a night...cya'll tmw ;)

1:13 am

J. C.

Settings are all on 'connections' Jill. So no reason for that unless you aren't connected to the acrobot?

1:14 am

J. C.

Hmmm. Looks like you are?!

1:14 am

jillibus

got to the bot with my feeble offering. I like Imodesty's.

1:14 am

rururocks

1:46 am

Bugsaw

Nite Jellen. I hope tomorrow is kind to you

1:46 am

jillibus

No, I did see George breeze in and out, said hello to him.

1:46 am

Jellen

What is acrobot?

1:46 am

J. C.

Hmmm? What do you mean, Bugsaw?

1:47 am

J. C.

The host account of a word game on Yahoo!, Jellen. I'll see if I can get you added to that.

1:47 am

Bugsaw

wrong thing? so sorry. I am very tired right now. It has been such a long day

1:47 am

jillibus

Thanks, bugs, but I thought Immodesty Blaize's was much cleverer.

1:48 am

Bugsaw

I must be off. Can't see words, can't talk. So sorry. I will return tomorrow to play again.

1:49 am

Jellen

Goodbye, Bugsaw...

1:49 am

J. C.

Ah. You were invited already, Jellen - check the 'Home' page in Yahoo! Pulse for the invitation.

1:49 am

J. C.

Good night to you, Bugsaw.

1:49 am

Jellen

Okay, J.C...

1:50 am

jillibus

Bugs, you didn't say anything wrong as far as I can see. I think JC hadn't seen my feeble acro effort so didn't realise I had submitted one -- is that so, JC?

1:52 am

jillibus

Well, time for bed -- have to get up and catch a ferry tomorrow so goodnight all!

1:52 am

Jellen

Can't seem to get on Yahoo at the moment...will investigate tomorrow...

Jellen

G'night, jilli...

2:06 am

J. C.

Haz1558

Hello! Teeny wee grid today - no excuse for being late to do shopping.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

no no. Nothing that far. We have cliffs and small mountains right above our house. They are actually the foothills of the Alps which, eventually go all the way to Mt Blanc, only 1 hr away by car

3:15 am

rubyfoo

The Swiss Alps are in a slightly different direction and go north from the other side of Lake Geneva

3:15 am

westford

it sounds wonderful weather okay?

3:16 am

westford

I've told my husband if we ever want to see Paris we should start out in Geneva..sounds more civilized airport wise

3:17 am

westford

haz do you still have to have mr haz along to push the cart?

3:18 am

rubyfoo

yes, it's a small and very easy airport, only 35 minutes from our house, easy parking, one exit for passangers, very lax customs (except for passport requirements). Generally a pleasure.

3:18 am

rubyfoo

yes, it's a small and very easy airport, only 35 minutes from our house, easy parking, one exit for passangers, very lax customs (except for passport requirements). Generally a pleasure.

3:28 am

westford

did you sleep in? lol

3:29 am

FMitch

Just got a short letter from my Mum and she included some pages from the Times with a load of really yummy soup recepies.

3:29 am

FMitch

I had a nap yesterday afternoon west and didn't get up till nearly 8am this morning, bliss :)

3:29 am

westford

this is a good time for soup getting too cold for me

3:30 am

Haz1558

Well done on the sleeping. Are you all nicely rested up?

3:30 am

westford

it would be nice if you put a recipe or two in your profile

3:31 am

FMitch

I agree, I mentioned to her that I had made some french onion soup the other day, hence the link.

I am Haz, although still feel not quite awake.

3:31 am

westford

french onion soup is sooo good

3:32 am

westford

had a friend come visit over Labor Day and she made a cream of crab soup to die for

3:32 am

FMitch

I meant to freeze some of it but just ended up eating it all over a few days.

3:32 am

FMitch

cream of crab sounds delish.

3:33 am

westford

maybe we can have a soup recipe icon some time

3:33 am

FMitch

Thats a good idea westie, you should email sprite.

3:34 am

westford

I promised I'd try to get to bed before the sun came up so here I go

3:34 am

westford

I will FM. Bye now and bye haz too.

3:35 am

FMitch

Good theme for this time of year.
LOL sweek dreams.

3:35 am

Haz1558

Bye, westford.

3:36 am

FMitch

Glad I did the shopping yesterday, all I need to do today is walk into the village for the Saturday papers and that is me done for the day.

3:36 am

Haz1558

No footy results?

3:37 am

FMitch

Oh that goes without saying - got about 25 games on this afternoon.

3:38 am

FMitch

Did you watch any of the Strictly Come Dancing last night?

3:38 am

Haz1558

I didn't. How did it go?

3:39 am

FMitch

The bits I saw were most entertaining but I missed Matt whatshisname (ex Blue Peter) who aparently was vv good.

3:40 am

Haz1558

Matt Baker.

3:40 am

FMitch

Ann Widicome is dancing tonight and Paul Daniels did last night, a bit painful.

3:41 am

Haz1558

Is Paul Daniel's partner not much taller than him?

3:41 am

FMitch

She is a bit.

3:42 am

FMitch

HAve you completed the grid, I've not long started but so far so good.

3:42 am

Haz1558

I've never really got into it properly. Some of the ladies at RDA became very devoted when Mark Ramprakash was on.

3:43 am

Haz1558

Yes, I've finished.

3:43 am

FMitch

Ah yes, with his 'see through cut away black shirt :)

3:44 am

Haz1558

Good morning, varumba.

3:45 am

FMitch

lol it was hard to avoid, he was on every news prog and talked about all over the place.

Morning var.

3:45 am

Haz1558

It's small but not nearly as nasty as some smaller grids can be.

3:45 am

varumba

ok

3:45 am

FMitch

Hows the glittery one Haz, is she still on the tablets?

3:46 am

Haz1558

Yes, she'll always be on them. She got trimmed yesterday so is looking and smelling rather nice.

3:47 am

FMitch

that will help her muchly with the arranging of groomed paws then :)

3:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, much less to ferret through. It gives her more time to read the paper and do her chores.

3:48 am

FMitch

LOL

3:48 am

sandrafrances

Good morning all how many words today please

Good morning all. Sitting here with a late bacon sandwich and a pot of coffee. Bliss, except for bacon all over the keyboard!

5:00 am

FMitch

Morning Sally and yum to the bacon sarnie :)

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

It's all gone now :-( Do you have both the K words? Not asking for clues, but have one and just can't see the other.

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

Wondered if it was a fish.

5:15 am

FMitch

yes I have them both, do you want the stats?

5:15 am

FMitch

or even just the number of letters?

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

I have the ke 6/30, so yes please to the other.

5:16 am

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

Got it :-) Could have sworn I'd tried that.

5:17 am

FMitch

How are things in your neck of the woods this Saturday morning?

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

Better weather than yesterday, but that's not hard. I gather the sun is shining in Billingshurst (sto step-daughter says).

5:20 am

FMitch

It was a little while ago but had gone all shy and hidden behind grey - but at least it is not raining!

5:21 am

Sally-catlover

Hammered down here yesterday. When I let the hens out they took one look, and said "you've got to be kidding!".

5:22 am

Sally-catlover

But our stream was hammering down like Niagara falls, quite spectacular.

5:22 am

FMitch

LOL re the chickens.

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

Their house is in a covered run which leads to a large free range area, but I think they stayed under cover all day. Got very grumpy with each other!

5:24 am

FMitch

poor chooks, I just had a very bedraggled colony of sparrows looking mournful.

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

We had a beautiful cock pheasant in the garden this morning. A very striking dog collar on him and a most gorgeous tail.

5:25 am

FMitch

oh talking of which I haven't topped up their se4 feeder so I had better pop off and do that now whilst I think of it. TTFN.

6:03 am

Sally-catlover

All done. Bye to any lurkers. Anyone need clues before I go and make myself useful?

6:03 am

Sally-catlover

Nice little grid today.

6:04 am

zoozzoom

Hi Sally, Congrats, stats for the bottom right `O` please?

6:04 am

Sally-catlover

Hi zooz!

6:05 am

Sally-catlover

on 7/44, compound word

6:05 am

zoozzoom

Ahh, many thanks :-)

6:06 am

Sally-catlover

I don't think I would ever use that, only with a different number IYSWIM :-)

6:06 am

Sally-catlover

Do you need any more?

6:07 am

zoozzoom

No, i am flying through this one, But many thanks Sally :-)

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

It's a nice quick one today which is good. I didn't have time to finish the very large one the other day.

6:09 am

Sally-catlover

Have you seen Dr_G's latest suggestion on the Babblers group on FB?

6:09 am

zoozzoom

No, i do not use FB, but i have seen the suggestions here in the chog, sounds really good...some great ideas.

6:10 am

zoozzoom

oops, PB, for the se4 word :-(

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

I looked away and didn't notice it so you're safe :-). The latest idea is an Achievements board, where you get a little picture of a rocket (I think) for every so many grids you complete.

6:11 am

jmcnrick

hi all

6:12 am

jmcnrick

has dr god posted something new?

6:12 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Jmc :-)

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

It had gone very quiet on there because Dr_G was doing gainful employment or some such rubbish, so I was pleased he is still working on it.

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

Yes jmc. In the Babble Community group.

6:13 am

zoozzoom

will be interesting to see the final results..

6:16 am

jmcnrick

i will have to go take a peak later

6:17 am

Sally-catlover

I can see it could turn into a badge of shame, for those of us who obviously spend too much time here :-) There's one for Complete 1,000 puzzles.

6:18 am

jmcnrick

lol i spend too much time here but don't worry about completing the grid

6:18 am

zoozzoom

i have completed over 1200 so far..lol

6:18 am

jmcnrick

and there are others who complete all of them and then run away

6:18 am

Sally-catlover

Let me check...

6:19 am

jmcnrick

really zooz???

6:19 am

jmcnrick

where would you check that?

6:19 am

zoozzoom

goto rankings Jmc, it is the stats on the left.

6:20 am

Sally-catlover

Can't see how I would check that.

6:20 am

jmcnrick

oh is that what that is

6:21 am

Sally-catlover

Surely not, that's just average performance?

6:21 am

Sally-catlover

It says For each puzzle that a player participates in, his or her score is divided by the maximum possible score for that puzzle and then multiplied by 1000 to come up with a score between 1 and 1000. The average of all the player's scores is then calculated to get his or her "raw rank." An additional point for every puzzle that the player has completed is then added to their raw rank to come up with their final rank.

6:22 am

carleekat

morning all

6:22 am

Sally-catlover

So today, for instance, with 1055 points, I would score 1,000 plus however many points for however many puzzles I have completed.

6:22 am

zoozzoom

what a shame, would be good to have a rank for how many you complete.

6:23 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Carlee :-)

6:23 am

jmcnrick

hi car

6:23 am

carleekat

another bitty grid...<sigh>

6:23 am

jmcnrick

well make that suggestion to dr god zooz

6:23 am

zoozzoom

in that case, i have not completed as many as i had thought..lol

6:23 am

Sally-catlover

I think there will be on this new feature, in effect. You will be able to see how many you have completed. Dr_G says it will probably be "retroactive".

6:23 am

zoozzoom

A very nice grid though Carlee

6:24 am

jmcnrick

well then everyone will be able to see how few I complete! lol

6:24 am

sprite

hi all

6:24 am

jmcnrick

h sprite

6:24 am

zoozzoom

does not matter really, Jmc, as long as you enjoy the grids.

6:24 am

Hello, Spritey :-)

6:25 am

6:25 am

sprite

hi dear babble friends

6:25 am

jmcnrick

trust me zooz I do!

6:25 am

zoozzoom

same here :-)

6:27 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I hope this new idea doesn't make people too competitive. I enjoy completing the grids, but if I don't have time, I don't have time and it's not a matter of life or death. And Hi Sprite!

6:27 am

sprite

hi Sally, if it becomes competitive, I am gone

6:27 am

jmcnrick

oh nothing could make me more competative sally!

6:28 am

Sally-catlover

Well I think you don't have to be competitive yourself!

6:28 am

carleekat

i am the same sally....i think i have looked at my stats maybe once...saw how low i am and that was it

6:28 am

sprite

internet is full of competitive game, this is one of the very few that are not

6:28 am

zoozzoom

i think it is what you want to make of it, some people will, some people won`t.

6:29 am

sprite

but competitive people can ruin the chat atmosphere, alas

6:29 am

carleekat

dont you have to do some stupid a$$ like thing to complete 30 in a row to make any sgnificant improvement in your stats????

6:29 am

Sally-catlover

I love playing, love chatting, and am glad to give clues. I hate it when people just appear and without even a "hi" just say, clue for xxx, in a demaing way without even a please.

6:29 am

Sally-catlover

Rant over.

6:29 am

zoozzoom

as long as they have a chat log, i will still enjoy being here.

6:29 am

jmcnrick

there are those who won't start a game if they think they can't finish it

6:35 am

Eva

I let go of trying to complete puzzles after the first year....much too much wear and tear on my body and brain. I just go for as long as it feels fun and then move on.

6:35 am

jmcnrick

i got one fairly quickly sprite i am sure you will have no problem

6:35 am

sprite

Ks hate me. And it is mutual.

6:35 am

zoozzoom

it is a compound word Jmc

6:35 am

jmcnrick

i like completing them all in rush at the last minute because i get the competative rush without having to compete

6:36 am

carleekat

maybe sprite...

6:36 am

jmcnrick

i think a words hate me sprite so I understand

6:36 am

Sally-catlover

Sounds like an ebay auction, jmc.

6:37 am

jmcnrick

and then pini and I have a friendly competition

6:37 am

Eva

thanks. I'll go look at it

6:37 am

Sally-catlover

Photos and videos so far.

6:37 am

jmcnrick

but calling it a competition really ovenstates it -- we race from time to time

6:38 am

carleekat

last time i made cake we ate it fo more then a week..great cake but it was too much cake and next to impossible to make smaller

6:38 am

sprite

wow Ks dead

6:38 am

Sally-catlover

For me the achievement is finishing, not how fast I do it, but we're all different. Wouldn't like to have to race.

6:38 am

jmcnrick

*puts on mourning for Ks*

6:39 am

sukee

I compete with myself

6:39 am

sprite

I never race, I just want to find words. All of them, if possible. Learning new ones. Training my brain to see patterns and stay open for new or weird possibilities.

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

Think I wouldn't play this if we had a shorter period to complete the grid.

6:39 am

sprite

mourning? MOURNING???

6:39 am

this is a good thing..we should have done this years and years ago...we just dont"fit" and we are not a "couple" or team... we co-existed and tried to make something that didnt work..work for a very long time

6:52 am

sprite

sorry to hear that @1, and wtg @2

6:52 am

jmcnrick

ah how sad

6:52 am

jmcnrick

hope it works out then

6:52 am

sprite

no matter how good it is, it is still ahrd

6:53 am

sprite

hard, even. So hard I cannot spell it right.

6:53 am

carleekat

we have 2 great kids... and..we tried....we really tried... lots of bumps and bruises along the way...and we are both at fault..some days i think me mor ethen hiim..other times..about equal....i never think it was him more then me tho..

6:54 am

jmcnrick

how old are the kids?

6:54 am

carleekat

18 and 14 jmc ( boy older)

6:55 am

jmcnrick

it will be hard on them too

6:55 am

jmcnrick

well sorry didn't mean to pry

6:55 am

carleekat

they are ok....home was never "happy"..never fun... now..we have fun and we laugh...everyone is going to be ok

6:56 am

carleekat

hahahah..pry away jmc..

6:56 am

sprite

I admire your courage and positive attitude, carlee. Your children will benefit from that.

6:57 am

carleekat

no courage sprite..maybe i just grew up???

6:57 am

jmcnrick

well i think sometimes people get in a tiff and it escalates and that I think happens way too often

6:57 am

jmcnrick

but it sounds like this has been well thought and out and may be one of the reasons why divorce shouldn't be a stigma

6:58 am

sprite

maybe... but certainly courage too.

6:58 am

jmcnrick

so i admire your attitude and i agree with sprite it still takes courage

6:58 am

jmcnrick

especially to do it in a non-toxic way

6:59 am

carleekat

perhaps... this is not a tiff...those who have heard the "saga" know its been a long hawl..sometimes i think i am giving up and maybe if i tried harder... but...the one thought that remains in my head is.." i cannot imagine old age together with that man"

6:59 am

jmcnrick

well there you go

6:59 am

sprite

there is giving up and there is knowing when you have tried enough. Sounds to me like you both know the difference and are doing what is best for all of you.

7:00 am

carleekat

( there soem toxins..right now we cannot be in the same room together with out bickering... but in time... hopefully that will fade away)

7:01 am

jmcnrick

i recommend Mistakes were made butnot by me as a good read about how people paint themselves into corners

7:01 am

jmcnrick

i suspect it will go away car

7:01 am

sprite

it probably will if you can go on respecting eachother as people. And yourself too. And if you both can accept that for your children you will always be mum and dad. There is a connection there.

7:02 am

jmcnrick

it may be like the bickering my boy and i did for him to distance himself from me without too much pain

7:02 am

sprite

great title, jmc!
I would recommend the books of mr and mrs Pease on man and women. For all intersex relationships, not just marriage.

7:02 am

Trifioso

hello friends. Carlee, I am sorry to hear your news, but proud of you. its a hard decision, but it sounds like the right one for you. Children should be in a happy home, if possible, and remember, you are also modeling marriage to them. you would want them to aim for happy, good "fits" in their own marriages....

7:03 am

jmcnrick

i often wonder if i would be so gung-ho about people sticking it out if my hubby had lived?

7:03 am

jmcnrick

hi trif!

7:03 am

Trifioso

And I absolutely, positively recommend the book "getting divorced without ruining your life" by Sam Marguluies

7:04 am

sprite

hiiiii Trif *hugggs*
So true, about modeling marriage. My parents were about the worst examples and I have long doubted I would ever be able to be a good partner. But my grandparents were great together and I know I learned from them too.

7:04 am

carleekat

time will tell ...sorry but i am one of those people who cannot get through self help books...i bought "the secret" cus my sis in law hounded me for weeks...and got to page 2...when i was preggers i got the what to expect when ur ecpecting....i think i got to page 5

7:04 am

Trifioso

whoa. That was a HUGE statement there jmc

7:04 am

jmcnrick

lol car mistakes were made is not a self-help book

7:04 am

Trifioso

carlee, I promise, it's not a self help book. Get it from the library at least. It

7:04 am

Trifioso

it is really excellent

7:05 am

sprite

lol carlee, that is not a fun book. You may want to try the books of the Peases or, also very worth while, John Cleese (life and how to survive it is a great one)

7:05 am

Trifioso

ugh - just found the di7. God help us all.....

7:05 am

jmcnrick

it is a actually more about politics than marriages but very interesting

7:05 am

jmcnrick

di7?

7:05 am

sprite

wow jmc...

7:05 am

carleekat

clue trifs?

7:06 am

jmcnrick

what? what is everyone so shocked about??

7:06 am

sprite

it is not divorce, of that I am sure, lol

7:06 am

Trifioso

something we hope we never have to say we did, ever again....think dancing all night at studio 54

7:06 am

jmcnrick

lol no no v

7:06 am

sprite

not shocked, jmc. But it was an interesting thing you posted.

7:06 am

jmcnrick

i was too old lol

7:07 am

carleekat

i'm having a hard time figuring out which book is which here....but will look them both up...

7:07 am

sprite

and no R either, grin

7:07 am

jmcnrick

oh well you know it is easy to think that hubby and i would be all peaches and cream since he is now little more than a figment of my imagination

7:08 am

Trifioso

oh lovely - now that connie francis "d-i-v-o-r-c-e" song is stuck in my head....

7:08 am

jmcnrick

others have to deal with the real day to day and i only have to imagine that hubby agrees with everything i do

7:08 am

sprite

must be weird that you will never know.

7:08 am

carleekat

its like childbirth...u forget the painful parts....maybe that is why I am second guessing myself right now about "if i tried harder"

7:09 am

Trifioso

carlee, not to pry, but is the wasband on the same page you are, or is he resisting the sep/div?

7:09 am

jmcnrick

it is sprite -- he was so young

7:09 am

carleekat

i never quit things..and this year i quit a job and my marriage

7:09 am

jmcnrick

well sometimes it is the right thing car

7:09 am

sprite

well my love does not agree with everything, thanks God, but we are incredibly happy together after 18 years and I trust we will still be happy after 18 more years.

7:09 am

jmcnrick

i gave notice at my job too

7:09 am

carleekat

oh..we are on the same page trifs..he filed papers first

7:09 am

sprite

double sad, jmc.

7:09 am

jmcnrick

i am so glad sprite

7:10 am

Trifioso

WAIT - you quit your job jmc??? where have I been?

7:10 am

carleekat

the job u are at now jmc?

7:10 am

jmcnrick

hubby and i fought but we developed techinques to get through it all

7:10 am

jmcnrick

not around trif

7:10 am

jmcnrick

i am still at the same job -- they have just posted it to do a search for a replacement

7:10 am

sprite

carlee, might be just me but I feel 'quit' is a rather negative word. You are not a quitter. You tried and finally decided there were better ways to spend your life and energy. That is wisdom.

7:11 am

jmcnrick

and i have applied for several other jobs

7:11 am

Trifioso

that is beautiful sprite!

7:11 am

jmcnrick

i am not quitting! I am stepping down!

7:12 am

jmcnrick

moving on to other things

7:12 am

Trifioso

jmc, I am really shocked! you always speak of it with such conviction and joy. may I please ask, why are you choosing to step down at this time? has something about the job changed, or are you looking for something different?

7:12 am

carleekat

thanks sprite... i will try and remember that..... most times i do..but am hormonal today and its raining..sun came up over and hour ago and it looks like dawn just breaking....

7:12 am

jmcnrick

i still can and will speak of it with joy and conviction and that is why i am moving on

7:12 am

sprite

oh dear, hormones can be evil. They shake up emotions like nothing else.

7:13 am

jmcnrick

dawn of a new and better life car

7:13 am

carleekat

but in other words....i just smartened up ....hahah

7:13 am

sprite

*grin*

7:13 am

jmcnrick

i just became clear that it was time to get someone with new and more energy in my position

7:13 am

Trifioso

carlee, this is going to be a hard time. there is no reason to surmise otherwise. but it will pass, I promise. funny that you referenced childbirth, as that is EXACTLY the metaphor I have been using lately. My court date is october 14th, and right now it feels like the last month of pregnancy. I am tired, and need this to be over. its been too long now.

7:14 am

jmcnrick

and it was time for me to do something else

7:14 am

jmcnrick

i hope some of the rancor has gone for you trif

7:14 am

Trifioso

sounds like you are on the same sort of page as carlee. you both know it's time to do something, and I think the fact that you are both choosing to be in better environs shows what amazing women you are.

7:15 am

varumba

hello babblers... not staying too long ;)

7:15 am

Trifioso

do you mean you hope I am less angry, or that he is less angry?

7:15 am

jmcnrick

both trif

7:15 am

sprite

I have no experience with divorce, but I do with child birth and I can relate to that! I so needed to have my body back, to be able to be alone somewhere. And so done carrying everything and waiting. I bet you are ready to have it behind you.

7:15 am

carleekat

the hard part will be to find a home...once house is sold..with all of the debt he accumulated...i will have nothing left for a down payment on a house...so i will be renting..which i hate the thought of

7:15 am

jmcnrick

hi varumba

7:15 am

varumba

hi jmc

7:15 am

varumba

hey sprite

7:15 am

sprite

hi varumba

7:16 am

jmcnrick

too bad car

7:16 am

carleekat

hi rumba...

7:16 am

varumba

hi carlee

7:16 am

carleekat

i am ready for MINE...

7:17 am

jmcnrick

go car go!

7:17 am

Trifioso

carlee, you should def talk to a good lawyer (I recommend the collaborative kind, if you have that option) and see if you can arrange things so that you are not responsible for his debt. Keeping the children in their house is always a priority for the court

7:17 am

sprite

it will take more time, carlee, but you are going to have your own home in time

7:18 am

carleekat

i want a new home...yes..doing colaborative...

7:18 am

Trifioso

oh, okay then. I am delighted to hear you're doing collaborative. it is the way to go

7:19 am

Trifioso

I got a collaborative lawyer, but the wasband didn't, so we are doing this weird hybrid.

7:20 am

jmcnrick

okay 1/2 way and i promised to help with my sister's book sale so i will be off

7:20 am

carleekat

something smaller...there a lot of little "cottages" in this area as we a lake front community....i want a little cottage...something i can white wash..and collect shells and have water pics up...find old taps and mount to a weathered board for a coat rack and a gingham table cloth on the kitchen table and abook case full of old hard cover books...i want it full of shades of the lake

7:20 am

Trifioso

bye jmc! exercise excellent control at the book sale!!!

7:21 am

jmcnrick

no money so no problem!

7:21 am

Trifioso

carlee, that sounds like HEAVEN!!!!!!!!

7:21 am

carleekat

ooh....take cash only....and walk away jmc

7:21 am

sprite

sounds wonderful, carlee. Kind of like my ideal home, see icon, lol

7:21 am

sprite

bye jmc, good luck and see you soon

7:21 am

jmcnrick

hugs all around!

7:21 am

jmcnrick

*poof*

7:22 am

carleekat

oh..and i want a fireplace...god how i want a fireplace...

7:22 am

Trifioso

sprite, I just was checking out your icon and saw your flickr photo -- you are adorable!!!!

7:22 am

carleekat

or wood burning stove...i miss the smell of woodsmoke

7:22 am

sprite

no need to read the secret, carlee... just go on seeing this before your mind's eye and you will create it, in time!

7:23 am

sprite

awwwwww blush! Thanks Trif.

7:23 am

carleekat

and yes ..along that line...mind the cottages around here that i can afford are cheeck by jowl on postage size lots...but fence with ivy....that blocks out noisy neighbours

7:24 am

Trifioso

sprite, I like what you are saying. I have sort of been trying to do that very thing with my upcoming court date. Not to envision me walking away with a big smile on my face, or anything like that, but just to hold the image of me getting through this with grace and courage, and both of us making some concessions to the other. mostly I find I am worried about what the judge will decide, in the end.

7:25 am

carleekat

ugh....court..i dont even want to think about court...

7:25 am

carleekat

i start the whole lawyer thing this week...

7:26 am

Trifioso

for some reason, it's the sound of the gavel bang that I keep fixating on. like a gunshot, killing the marriage. it starts with a kiss, and ends with a gunshot....

7:26 am

sprite

I can imagine it must be really tough to be dependant to the judgement of a stranger in the end. But I do believe that what you are doing will help. It 'tunes' your own mind and energies.

7:26 am

carleekat

i feel same trifs...the lawyer office and the whole divorce ting feels so tawdry

7:27 am

Trifioso

yes, I would rather that we work together to make the decisions that effect our family. but perhaps if we could work together, this would never have happened

7:27 am

NonnieLight

hello all

7:27 am

sprite

maybe you can change that image? Work it around to, for instance, a stopped-up waterhose breaking through with a bang? Or a beautiful fireworks rocket in a vast sky?

7:28 am

Trifioso

and mr hate (jmc isn't here anymore, so I can be a bit rancorous) is not yielding in his determination to make sure he does not have to pay me a cent

7:28 am

sprite

hi Nonnie!

7:28 am

NonnieLight

hello sprite! How are you doing?

7:28 am

sprite

am good, Nonnie, how about you?

7:28 am

carleekat

i am going to picture a door slamming on him that he is now blocked from making decisions for me

7:28 am

carleekat

hi nonnie

7:28 am

Trifioso

oooh, fireworks, I like that idea, sprite!!!! I get so excited when I see them here. A sense of finishing something, and a celebration. I like that SO MUCH. thank you!

7:29 am

sprite

*hugs* Trif, so glad :)

7:29 am

Trifioso

LOVE that too, carlee!

7:29 am

NonnieLight

hiya carlee...did you get a chance to check out the minute to win it site and if so, did that help to give you some ideas for games for you upcoming event?

7:29 am

carleekat

oh...yes nonnie..i did....i am using 5 of them :) thanks :)

7:30 am

NonnieLight

Great! I was hoping it would help.

7:30 am

Trifioso

on a babble-related note -- does anyone have the lower corner o?

7:30 am

NonnieLight

and you're welcome too :o) Let me know how it turns out.

7:30 am

carleekat

doing... the yoyo with the pop can..and the inverted pyramid... the cotton ball on the nose one...

7:31 am

7:31 am

7:31 am

NonnieLight

some cell phones have pedometers

good morning Babblers

7:31 am

sprite

money and a feeling of masculinity can go together... just remember that you invested in the relation just as much, it is about energy and not about the form it took. So you are entitled to money.

7:31 am

carleekat

single unit + what u do to clothes after taking ut of dryer

7:31 am

NonnieLight

we did the junk in your trunk with the tissue box and ping pong balls...loads of fun

7:31 am

hello nono!

7:32 am

Trifioso

whew! nbt, thanks to carlee.

7:32 am

sprite

wtg Trif

7:32 am

Trifioso

thanks sprite. I am trying to think of it like severance pay. he does not get to fire me without a severance package.

7:32 am

NonnieLight

go tri to

7:32 am

carleekat

the trouble is sprite..he ran up huge debt...any investments we have...we are losing cus we have to sell the house

7:33 am

carleekat

yay trifs

7:34 am

carleekat

( anyone have the ge 5 and or 6?)

7:34 am

sprite

I understand, carlee. I was referring to Trif's words, that mr hate doesn't want to have to pay her a cent.
When there are debts, things are different. Tough :(

7:34 am

Trifioso

I still think you should ask if you are responsible for his personal debts, carlee

7:35 am

sprite

not yet, carlee, sorry

7:35 am

carleekat

well..one was for a family vacation.he said he had the $ on hand..a.ctually 2 of them....and then there his truck.....

7:35 am

Trifioso

is the truck in his name only?

7:35 am

carleekat

we will see...if i do that..he loses everything..goes bankrupt...and then i get no child support etc

7:36 am

carleekat

yeap..its in his only

7:36 am

Trifioso

then it is his debt

7:37 am

sprite

but laws can be different in carlee's place, or not?

7:37 am

alembick

carleecat, I went through this some time back. It has been 4 years. I still pay my ex husband's cell phone bill. But I know if his phone gets cut off he may lose his job (he works from home) and the instability would be terrible for the kids. I have been glad I took the high road

7:37 am

Trifioso

oh, yes, that is a good point sprite. def worth asking

7:37 am

carleekat

and he paid off my car with some rrsp...and when all said and done he giving me that....its in his name

7:38 am

sprite

stability for the children is a very good point, alembick. Wtg you did it that way.

7:38 am

carleekat

we will see what the lawyer says...i am not going to quibble unless he does

7:38 am

Trifioso

my biggest concern is my health insurance. it's a family plan, so it does not cost a cent more to have me on it, but he insists on turfing me of it, just the same

7:38 am

alembick

where I live, any debt incurred while legally married, both parties are responsible for the debt, regardless of who actually took the loan or whose name the asset is in. (the asset is legally both too even if only in ones name)

7:38 am

sprite

same here, alembick

7:38 am

carleekat

exactly what i was thinking alem...

7:39 am

sprite

he shouldn't do that, Trif. Maybe he can be convinced the extra money that would cost (for you) could be better spend on the children?

7:41 am

alembick

keep your chin up carlee. hopefully if you turn the focus of the communication to what is best for the kids then he can see that it is more reasonable and better for them to not do things out of spite.

7:41 am

Trifioso

of course he shouldnt, sprite. but he is. he wouldn't contribute a cent for primo's car expenses, he won't give me a cent towards primo's senior pictures, he won't won't, won't. and so I have a credit card bill that climbs higher and higher, while he sits on a pile of money.

7:42 am

JBV

good morning, reading and learning - my good wishes to you both, trif and carlee - one question for Trif - are you sure about the health insurance? we just had a case here where a police officer was convicted of fraud for keeping his ex-wife on his "family " plan health insurance - should have notified them of the divorce but didn't

7:42 am

carleekat

i cant say my ex is like that at all trifs..my daughter has an enrichment trip this weekend coming up..he is paying the 200.00 for it..he is working a side job to come up with the $

7:42 am

alembick

oops and keep your chin up Trif also. Sorry! I'm a bit scatter brained this a.m.

7:42 am

Trifioso

my lawyer is working on it, jbv.

7:43 am

Trifioso

it's fine alem. my chin is just where it should be. :)

7:43 am

alembick

Trif it sounds like you will be better off out of a toxic situation even if financially it is rough. Good luck to you

7:43 am

sprite

that is terribly sad, Trif. Sounds very much like my father in his divorce. Try not to worry too much though... focus on how things are going to work out great for you and your children. They will.

7:44 am

sprite

*off topic but on game: I keep seeing lodge! and dislodge! And dislodged!*

7:44 am

Trifioso

it's all a bit dicey right now, exacerbated by the fact that about a month ago he got in a HUGE fight with secondo, and she has refused to see him, or really even speak to him since. and it took him about ten seconds to start railing about how *I* am not doing enough to fix it, how she has no right to say when they visit (she is over 14, so indeed, so does), and how I am not helping him enough. So that is the mind set he is in as we enter final negotiations. charming

the ge 5/6 is the geometric figure formed by this surface, an ellipsoid flattened at the poles. the 6 is the plural

thanks carlee

7:47 am

sprite

Trif, I was at the school my kids go to, and listened to the speech the principal gave to the new kids (my daughter for one). She told them to ask themselves every day: "What did I contribute today to... a pleasant class atmosphere, a good school atmosphere, etc."
Your soontobe-ex should ask himself the same. Not about what you do, but about what HE does.

7:48 am

Trifioso

excellent sprite! it is an important question for me to ask myself. every day I should strive to be excellent.

7:48 am

sprite

you already are, Trif. Forget the perfectionism. You only need to _contribute_, not to make it all happen by yourself. *hugs*

7:49 am

my big phantom today is "diesel"

carlee, I hight recommend music for this time of your life, particularly "listen" from the dreamgirls soundtrack, and "little lion man" by mumford and sons.

7:51 am

oh, and "so what" by pink, which has been my ring tone and my answer tone for months now

From Me To You by Janis Ian

7:52 am

Lilecama

7:52 am

sprite

no problems here, Lilecama. Have you tried force-refresh? (Control + F5 on a windows puter)

7:54 am

Lilecama

I've done a complete restart... :( Maybe dear kids up or downloading stuff....

7:54 am

sprite

fireflies! Anything I may help with before I go?

7:54 am

Trifioso

sprite, I am loving this janis ian song, thank you!

7:55 am

Lilecama

the bottom o please sprite?

7:55 am

Trifioso

and huzzah to finishing!

7:55 am

sprite

maybe you can try a force-refresh anyway, it may clear some stuff that reboot does not clear.

7:55 am

sprite

yvw Trif, I love it too :)

7:55 am

sprite

it is a power song

7:55 am

8:01 am

Trifioso

I think that when I look back on my divorce, I will always hear mumford and sons in my head. they have definitely provided the soundtrack to this time in my life

8:02 am

Trifioso

oh, and I forgot to say, when you listen to "little lion man" change the "i" in the chorus to "you"

8:02 am

carleekat

i tend to bake when stressed... and.. that ok...

8:03 am

carleekat

i dont think i want...stuff to remind me of a time... i just want to live..and use this as a stepping stone...not an era...

8:08 am

I bought a big old tray of cookies at the store just last night carlee, for that very reason. I should have baked them myself of course, but I was out, and there they were....should never shop whilst hungry....

8:08 am

8:21 am

Trifioso

i was just thinking of you this week, carlee, now that you say wine....the muscat grapes on my back deck are dropping everywhere, and I would love to have something, anything to make from them....

8:22 am

carleekat

u can make a muscat wine

8:24 am

Trifioso

is there a site with directions somewhere? I have been trolling for recipes, but most seem to suggest concord and muscat grapes are interchangeable, and I really doubt that is true

8:24 am

carleekat

no muscat is a dry white...u remove the skins...

8:25 am

carleekat

hold on...let me find the site i use for alot if troubleshooting

8:25 am

these grapes are purple, purple purple, but the insides are indeed green, so I guess white could result

good words alem!LOL

8:28 am

carleekat

and...if u can reserve some of the juice... froma pressing... ( I would boil and freeze for later use ) ...before bottling..after addition of campden ( kills yeast so fermentation is done) I would put some of the juice in the wine...to sweeten slightly....would give the muscat a rounder flavour

8:29 am

m9f9l

phae.. I'm more used to hearing the two verion.

8:29 am

grant

clue for lo5?

8:29 am

Trifioso

thanks carlee!

8:29 am

carleekat

have it finish at a one.... easier to kill the yeast...and add juice..then to stop the process at a consistent spot....if it works out..

8:29 am

Trifioso

I will have to see where I can get all the other ingredients as well. I suppose there is an online source for winemaking supplies, surely?

8:30 am

carleekat

red star steinburg will be an easier yeast to find

8:30 am

carleekat

yes..there is....

8:31 am

carleekat

but...trifs....why not make grape jelly instead... far less work :) especially if u have not got a readily avail wine supply sour

8:31 am

carleekat

souce

8:31 am

carleekat

source even

8:32 am

Trifioso

okay. maybe I will try that. I think my kids would def rather have the jelly, and I certainly would rather they had the jelly, lol

8:32 am

Trifioso

looks like you need to cut back on the consumption there, carlee!!!!

8:33 am

carleekat

if i were you..i would locate the wine supplies...and try your hand at kits that are available..to get ur "feet" wet

8:33 am

i need more coffee is what i need

that web site is amazing tho....loads of recipes... lots of troubleshooting..just poorly designed

8:35 am

I found what looks to be an excellent site, so I am happy.

8:35 am

for wild grape jelly making, that is.

oh crap. there is a woodpecker trying to get in my house again. doofus

8:36 am

8:36 am

carleekat

yay.... i want to try dandelion wine myself... and...there was once many years ago...i tried a home made red....and after having a glss i found out about a certain illegal substance that was put in it during fermentation...

8:37 am

carleekat

i have always wanted to try that....but never had the balls to do it

8:39 am

carleekat

gave tipsy a whole new meaning...

8:41 am

Trifioso

LOL carlee - primo and I were discussing the other day how that particular crop could be my ticket to financial freedom. I live way back in the woods, on ten acres totally blocked from the street. could raise the medical kind....

8:42 am

carleekat

i wouldnt need much....wouldnt want to alter the flavour of the wine....but..am thinking a heavy bodied amerone or a peppery shiraz...would be perfect...alas...i dont have the balls to get any

8:43 am

Trifioso

i would be afriad i would encounter an under cover agent and get arrested, and my children would perish in mortification

8:44 am

Trifioso

I have several elderberry trees on the acreage too, and always wanted to try some recipes with them as well. I found an EXCELLENT big old book from centuries back with all kinds of recipes in it, but its hard to decipher exactly what you are supposed to do

8:44 am

carleekat

pretty much..although i know a neighbour of mine is a reg user...so iknow i could get it...

8:45 am

Trifioso

woody woodpecker here really needs to take a hike....geesh

11:37 am

J. C.

My younger one likes to put his shoulder down on the ground and rub his head and shoulder along the ground, snorting. :P It's so funny!

11:37 am

J. C.

Why, Jesse? You think they should meet some dogs - it's good for them? ;)

5:37 pm

PAV3

they have a doggy day-care as well, but I'm afraid since they told one of their regulars is a pit bull, that my Precious and Joey would not get along...

5:37 pm

JBV

5:40 pm

PAV3

we just had a run in the other morning with a pit bull....we're allowed pets up to 35 lbs ea, and this one was a bit large...they didn't like him at all...luckily there was a gate separating us...

PAV3

but I do have friends with a rather large pit bull who is scared of her 5 lb poodle mate...

LeslieAnn

5:44 pm

LeslieAnn

what kind of dog is joey?

5:45 pm

6:35 pm

LeslieAnn

i have the past tense of farm building si6, what is the other?

6:35 pm

Jellen

Tea bags, really? Dampen them and wipe on?

6:35 pm

m9f9l

pour hot water on.. steep, cool and then use them to swab everywhere...

6:36 pm

m9f9l

I steep them very dark and then put a couple ice cubes in to cool them down quickly..

6:36 pm

m9f9l

the tannic acid is what helps

6:36 pm

m9f9l

so it has to be actual tea. not herbal

6:36 pm

m9f9l

My dad taught me that one when I was little.

6:37 pm

Jellen

How'd you know what I was going to ask, lol...

6:44 pm

6:44 pm

6:44 pm

Jellen

The pantry was Tim's domain...

6:45 pm

graely

thank you!~

6:45 pm

m9f9l

hopefully it's woodaged. that's better. but the idea is to balance the skin's ph. if you don't have that.. you can do baking soda.

6:45 pm

m9f9l

google it.

6:46 pm

Jellen

I do have baking soda...

6:46 pm

m9f9l

it says 1/2 cup to a tepid bath and soak in it.

6:47 pm

m9f9l

or.. just dissolve some in a big bowl, wet a nice not rough cloth, and drape the cloth on for a whle (it will feel good cause it's cool).. as the cloth warms, just redip it and put on again

6:47 pm

m9f9l

that way you can treat the burn, feel better and still BABBLE!!

6:49 pm

Jellen

I may be going out again tonight, but I will keep these in mind...

6:50 pm

Jellen

The aloe baby wipe helped with the prickles...

6:51 pm

m9f9l

well good!

6:51 pm

graely

de 5,22 please?

6:51 pm

Jellen

I feel so silly...I'm always telling people to use sunblock, but forget to use it myself!

6:52 pm

Jellen

de + *** crept in on little cat feet...

6:52 pm

m9f9l

I think that dissolving some baking soda in cool water and then just swabbing it everywhere would be quick and not stinky (quite the opposite I suppose!).. and getting the ph balanced sooner than later would be a good idea.

6:52 pm

Jellen

OR de + What San Francisco and London are famous for, weather-wise

6:53 pm

LeslieAnn

ke6?

6:53 pm

Jellen

Okay, brb...getting the baking soda...

I'm very cl 5/12 to the finish line so here's a story of clues for today's da 4/5 October 2, 2010 in case any of you ne 4/5 help. Had to fe 4/8 for myself with the grid today. I got no help from monkeys today. When I went to get monkeys, they pretended to be de 4/7 by saying they could not hear me.Then they had a fa 4/11 headache. I usually te 4/5 to sc 5/14 monkeys, but today I wasn't so4/5 on the idea of fighting with them so I let them go. They ran away on their fe 4/7 to go digging for go4/7. So I didn't fe4/8 them fe4/7 cheese which they love.Ne4/5 to ta4/8 a break.I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and get se6/21 on my co4/7 so4/7 & watch the di5/14 film Saturday Night Fever. Usually like to watch suspense films that keep you on the ed4/7 of your se4/4 like the movie Under Si5/14, but I LOVE Saturday Night Fever. I've se 4/4 it so many times. I also like John Travolta. He is a ne 4/4 actor. I'll be back later after I've ea5/10 dinner and watched my movie to accomplish the fe4/7 of de 6/20ing this grid.

I'm in Riverside, CA, and nearest Babbler i know of is 2h away in San Diego.

9:33 pm

dcseain

i go home tomorrow, though i'd really like to stay longer. I'll have to come back to this place sometime when i'm not here with a baby.

9:34 pm

Bugsaw

Maybe a short walk then to find some food. could even be the front desk

9:34 pm

dcseain

sleeping baby here with me, i don't want to go out, for if she wakes up with diaper or hungry, i need to be here.

9:35 pm

Bugsaw

oh, how sweet to watch a baby sleep\n.

9:35 pm

featherbee

what are you doing there? i haven't been keeping up lately!

9:36 pm

dcseain

friends brought me out to help with childcare while they attend www.babytattooville.com

9:36 pm

i'll hit the taco stand down the street later perhaps. an aqua fresca would be lovely.

9:37 pm

Bugsaw

I hope they are not going to tattoo that poor child!

9:37 pm

featherbee

........interesting name! lol

9:37 pm

featherbee

call the front desk, ask if they can send up a menu

9:38 pm

9:39 pm

dcseain

9:40 pm

Bugsaw

I have 2 moere words to find and then I intend to look it up. The name just sent my mind flying to all kinds of tatooed babies... :)

was distracted momentarily...they set a new record for number of people at the stadium today...approx 1,000 more people than reside in the city I live in!
