2:09 am

the snow is mostly gone, but the melt wound up in the hallway, down from the leaky garage. Alas, at least it's not snowing and it's not so cold

2:10 am

Hi all --- I'm back here briefly. Talking of snow, I hear they've had about 5 ft of it in Toronto and London Ontario. None here now, though, but lots of rain, which might travel east and become more snow...

2:13 am

dizgrannie

nah Ruby, too much of my state (NSW) is under water....farmers have been flooded out and lost heaps of their crops

2:14 am

rubyfoo

that must be "lae effect" snow, like in Buffalo!

2:14 am

We need some of that rain -- send it over to us.

2:19 am

Christine

Thank you-thank you for the rain. We've had some in the paast two weeks, rained all day, all night at one time, but it's not enough to make-up for the years of drought. And the 'fire season' starts earlier each year.

2:20 am

Christine

Hello, Tropiske, welcome.

Well, play some more, Tropiske!

Brookie

Hi everyone!

4:26 am

sprite

good morning all

4:27 am

Brookie

Hi sprite!

4:28 am

sprite

hey Brookie :) How is it going?

4:28 am

Soodle

Morning gals!

4:28 am

sprite

hi Soodle :)

4:28 am

Brookie

Okay, just trying to keep my chin up. And hi, soodle!

4:29 am

Soodle

Oh, Brookie! You still feeling blue?

4:29 am

sprite

which babbler was it, who always said: Keep your chins up!" Was it GroovyKiwi?

4:29 am

sprite

((((Brookie))))

4:29 am

Brookie

A little bit. Still just trying to make sense of what happened for closure purposes.

4:29 am

Brookie

Thanks, sprite!

4:30 am

Soodle

Lol. Sprite. (I have more Chins than a Chinese telephone directory!!).

4:30 am

sprite

me too, lol

4:30 am

Brookie

Time will heal. I just trusted someone completely, and that trust was destroyed. I'm feeling more skeptical, and I normally not that way.

4:31 am

Soodle

Have you spoke to him since Sunday, Brookie?

4:32 am

Brookie

We were supposed to speak last night, but the scheduling didn't work out. He did agree to speak with me. I totally do NOT want to get back together with him, but I just want to understand what happened. Part of closure is learning from an experience, and I'm still trying to figure out what to learn from this.

4:32 am

sprite

you are wise, Brookie. Yes, time will heal. And if you let it, it will even heal the skepsis and lack of trust you feel now. Because in the end, you want to be loyal to yourself and not to the hurt one person caused you. *big warm hug* for you and loads of strength and light.

4:33 am

Soodle

I hear you Brookie - and I second everything Spritey said. But closure is a very important of recovery....

4:33 am

Brookie

That's true. It's like they say, "Love like you've never been hurt."

4:34 am

sprite

yes, if you can get him to speak up, it might help. But if you can't, try and realise sometimes it isn't at all about you. He may have issues that caused this, and there is nothing you did wrong except being you - his loss, not yours.

4:34 am

Soodle

How did your chat with TheLegend go? Last time I saw you on here, the pair of you were kicking up a storm?

4:35 am

Brookie

We've been exchanging numerous emails. He seems like a nice guy, and very smart. We'll see how it goes. :-)

4:35 am

Brookie

Thanks for asking.

4:36 am

sprite

:D Good for you!

4:36 am

Brookie

So, how's everything in sprite's world? Soodle's world?

4:36 am

Soodle

You two seemed to be hitting it off. Play it by ear, Brookie, if nothing else, it will be a diversion!

4:36 am

sprite

I could use a lot more money, energy and health, but I am still feeling blessed with all that IS in my world.

4:36 am

Brookie

Good advice.

4:37 am

Brookie

As far as money is concerned, ask soodle. She's been collecting lots of cash from fellow babblers.

4:37 am

Brookie

And yes, you do have to count your blessings (and note to self on this one!)

4:37 am

Soodle

I donated it all to charity!!!!

4:37 am

sprite

grin, how did you do that?

4:38 am

sprite

*giggles* I know, I know, just kidding. I need to find out how to become a charity!

4:38 am

Brookie

Argghhh!!! You should have saved it for the "Babbler-in-Need" fund!!!!

4:38 am

Soodle

I began charging fellow babblers for clues, Sprite. They were all sending cheques to "Soodlebum, Ireland". I made a fortune!

4:38 am

sprite

see, you smart Soodle you!

4:39 am

Soodle

At present, I am sitting in the East Wing, waiting for the butler to bang the gong to tell me breakfast is ready.

4:39 am

sprite

I am this very intelligent woman, with no sense at ALL when it comes to making money from my talents. Not kidding now. I have the business sense of a worm.

4:39 am

Brookie

Plus, soodle charged for making intros between me and TheLegend, and she charged for promoting my speech video. She'll take any opportunity she can.

4:40 am

Brookie

Can totally relate to you, sprite.

4:40 am

Soodle

Not that I am preoccupied with money, or anything.....

4:40 am

sprite

Soodle, you need to start giving classes. For free! For fellow babblers, anyway :)

4:40 am

Brookie

Well, that's because it's second-nature to you now. :-)

4:40 am

sprite

isn't it a shame, Brookie?

4:41 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning all. Someone handing out money? Puts hand out nonchalantly.

4:41 am

sprite

hiya Sally :) Well, it is kind of the other way around... we want to collect!

4:42 am

Soodle

LOL. I have been holed up at home since this day last week. My car is under 4 feet of snow, and the temperature this morning was minus 14! I will propably get sacked from my job!

4:42 am

Brookie

It is a shame, sprite. And hello, sally!

4:42 am

Sally-catlover

Should have read the chog properly then.

4:42 am

Soodle

Hey Sally :-)

4:42 am

Brookie

Did the snow end yet, soodle?

4:42 am

sprite

they would be crazy to let you go, Soodle.

4:42 am

Soodle

It has stopped snowing, and the weather forecasters are predicting a thaw.......I don't see any yet.

4:43 am

Sally-catlover

You can't be the only one who can't get in, soodle.

4:43 am

Soodle

(((Sprite))). I may have to ask you for a reference....

4:43 am

Brookie

Hopefully it'll thaw slowly so there isn't flooding.

4:43 am

sprite

any time, Soodle.

4:43 am

Sally-catlover

I liked the succinct forecast this morning: cold.

4:44 am

sprite

it is cold here too, but not as cold as at Soodle's.

4:44 am

Brookie

It's around 0 C here.

4:44 am

Sally-catlover

Stupid enable. Saddo isn't allowed.

4:44 am

Soodle

Our government announced the Budget yesterday. It made a refreshing (if disheartening) change to have something other than the weather on the news.

4:45 am

sprite

a few degrees under zero here.

4:45 am

sprite

lol Soodle :)

4:45 am

Brookie

Gotta go now and get ready for work. Try to keep warm, everyone!

4:45 am

sprite

and android is a phantom, for crying out loud!

4:45 am

Sally-catlover

Bye brookie.

4:46 am

Brookie

Bye sally!

4:46 am

sprite

bye Brookie, all the best, and lots of blessings on your path!

4:46 am

Brookie

Bye sprite, and thanks!

4:46 am

Soodle

Bye Brookie. Keep smiling :-)

4:46 am

Brookie

Bye soodle! (poof!)

4:47 am

sprite

oh I have a bit of good news! Wanna hear?

4:48 am

Soodle

Hurray for good news!!! Spill the beans, Sprite....

4:48 am

Sally-catlover

Yes please sprite.

4:49 am

sprite

one of the ugly things my mother did, was giving 'the' piano to my sister, while I was the one who played and my sister never had a single lesson.
But now my sister and I are SO back together and enjoying it... and she told me she doesn't have room for the piano, and would I like to have it! Welllll YESSSS! Please! Including the piano bench our grandfather made himself.

4:50 am

sprite

my love is thinking up a new way to arrange our furniture so it will fit. And my kids and I are looking forward to playing!

4:50 am

Soodle

How lovely, Sprite. What a sisterly gesture. I'm very happy for you.

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

Oh that's lovely sprite! And lovely that your sister and you are back together too. {{hugs}}

4:51 am

sprite

we found out that about 95% of our incompatibility stemmed from the things our parents did to keep us apart. We are closer now than ever and feel it makes our lives so much richer :)

4:52 am

Sally-catlover

Sprite, don't say if you don't want to, but why on earth did your parents want to keep you apart? Fully understand if it's private.

4:52 am

Soodle

Oh Sprite. Why in the world would your parents try to split up two sisters? That is dreadful.

4:52 am

sprite

we are back together for more than a year now, and we are very dedicated to never being torn apart again.

4:53 am

sprite

divide and rule, galls, that is all. If you can convince one sister that the other is the bad one, you can count on her support... until the sisters finally get together and talk it out.

4:54 am

Soodle

Are your parents still alive?

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

Are your parents both still alive sprite?

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

Snap soodle.

4:55 am

sprite

my parents had an ugly divorce and kept battling over our heads for at least 20 more years. My mother is bipolar, my father has narcissistic personality syndrome. It is quite a mess.... and yes, they are both alive.

4:55 am

Soodle

Oh wow. Theres a lot going on there, Sprite.

4:57 am

Soodle

Once again, I thank God I was blessed with wonderful parents, and the best siblings in the world. But I bitterly regret saddling my kids with that waste of space I married, as a father.

4:57 am

sprite

yeah. But I try to keep my distance now. All I do with my mother is trying to enable the grandchild/grandmother contact between her and my kids. And with my father, I decided to cut off all contact after AMPLE attempts and deliberation.

4:58 am

Sally-catlover

brb

4:58 am

sprite

well, Soodle, I can imagine the feeling, but on the other hand, those beautiful children of yours wouldn't have been there without him. At least he left you something very good :)

4:58 am

sprite

hurry back, Sally

5:00 am

Soodle

I think it is very generous of you to allow your mother to have contact with your children, Sprite. And yes, you are right about me not having the kids without 'yer man', but I often worry about the long-term effect on the kids.

5:01 am

sprite

they have you, Soodle. As someone who 'has been there', I can assure you that children are incredibly resilient. If they have one parent they can rely upon, one that values their feelings and opinions and gives them love and boundaries, they will be ok. Not unchanged, but ok.

5:02 am

Sally-catlover

Back. Yes soodle, I too married a waste of space, and my sadness is that his relations with my son are even worse than they once were. However, son is old enough to make his own decisions, but it must be hard for him to realise quite what his father is.

5:03 am

sprite

wb Sally. Yes, that must be hard for him. It will hurt. But knowing he is truly loved by you will help a lot.

5:03 am

Soodle

Of course, you are absolutely right. Its just that the story of my childhood could have been written by Meave Binchy.... and it troubles me that my kids were put through a very difficult time. How old is your son now, Sally?

5:04 am

MollyL

Just chiming in to say good morning to all and that I'm proud to be a woman.

5:04 am

sprite

hiya Molly, good morning and YAY to that.

5:05 am

Soodle

Hey (((Moll)))

5:05 am

Sally-catlover

I initiated them getting back together, at son's request, and as I said things are now much worse because he isn't a little kid to be pushed around and to accept his parents as they are any more. The trouble is, I think he always had hope that one day the relationship would be good, and now he know that won't happen.

5:05 am

sprite

Soodle, there is a lot of learning and ripening to be found in very difficult times. Going through them with your support won't make it easy, but it will make it doable.

5:06 am

sprite

how painful, Sally. It is always hard to learn to say: yes, this man is my father, and no, he is not a nice person.

5:07 am

Sally-catlover

Got it in one sprite.

5:08 am

sprite

*hugs to Soodle, Sally and Molly* There is power in love :)

5:08 am

Soodle

I confess to having an utter horror of my ex waltzing back into my kids' lives, and them forgiving him. I think that would kill me.

5:08 am

MollyL

Hugs back to you Sprite. There is power in love. And light.

5:09 am

Sally-catlover

And I am overjoyed that I have a wonderful relationship with son and a fantastic little grandson whom son adores and has a terrific relationship with. Brings tears to my eyes sometimes. Good to know that in that respect he is NOT like his father!

5:09 am

sprite

it would be great for them if they could forgive him, Soodle. Forgiving isn't saying 'you were right', it is just freeing yourself of the ongoing damage of hating someone. But for waltzing back into their lives... no, I hope they won't let him.

5:10 am

sprite

awwww Sally, that is so beautiful.

5:11 am

MollyL

"Freeing yourself of the ongoing damage of hating someone"...that is spot on Sprite. And true. It's very freeing to let that stuff go. It's so heavy to carry around.

5:11 am

Soodle

Now THAT is very heartening to hear, Sally.

5:13 am

sprite

it is, Molly. I am finally learning to let go of the anger and hate towards my father. Knowing he suffers from narcissistic personality disorder helped, I can understand him better now. I can forgive him. And I also know that I have to keep him away from me and mine, because he causes intense damage wherever he goes.

5:13 am

Soodle

Its 3 and a half years since Mr Soodle ran away. Neither me or the kids have seen him since then. We get the odd drunk telephone call, with him ranting and raving down the phone, blaming us for all his woes. Its very difficult to let go.....

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

Could you change your phone number soodle? And in my experience, kids will work things out for themselves about people as they get older, you don't need to worry about that.

5:14 am

sprite

that is so awful, Soodle. Someone who is addicted to alcohol isn't the person you knew, but an addict. The blame game sounds familiar :(
Can't you change your phone number?

5:15 am

sprite

snap, Sally :)

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

:-)

5:15 am

Soodle

OMG. I just google Narcissist Personality Disorder. It's Mr Soodle!

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

Just a moment :-)

5:16 am

sprite

omg really? Feel free to email me, if you feel like you want to, Soodle... I am almost an expert now, lol. It is the disorder that is hardest to treat.

5:18 am

Soodle

Thank you Sprite, but as I say, he is gone now, and not (hopefully) coming back. Himself and his NPD are somebody else's problem now!

5:19 am

sprite

very good! Especially if you already know that you were in no way to blame.

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

This seems familiar: The serial bully displays behaviour congruent with many of the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Characterised by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity and self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy, people with narcissistic personality disorder overestimate their abilities and inflate their accomplishments, often appearing boastful and pretentious, whilst correspondingly underestimating and devaluing the achievements and accomplishments of others.

5:20 am

lynxxx

Helo everyone. Sprite - it is soooo good to see you and you seem in very good spirits so that is even better

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

Hi lynxxx! Welcome to the Babble psychiatry clinic.

5:21 am

Soodle

I know it's been said before, but Babble is really a remarkable place. Counselling, Friendship, Support and a great laugh. What more could anybody ask for?

5:21 am

sprite

hi lyn :)
Lovely to see you too, and yes, I feel blessed with my babble friends and happy to share some valuable experiences together.

5:22 am

sprite

it is important to realise that inside someone with NPD hides a very scared and lonely person. Everything that is so hurtful about them is part of the persona, of the mask. And you cannot get to it.

5:23 am

Soodle

Lynn - Hi and Bye. Sprite, Sally and Molly, thank you all for your words of wisdom. You are all terrific people! Poof

5:24 am

sprite

*hugs Soodle* Have a good one, de4 friend :)

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

bye for now soodle!

5:24 am

lynxxx

bye Soodle

5:25 am

sprite

how are you today, lyn?

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

Slow grid for me today. Only just got to half way.

5:26 am

sprite

same here, Sally. 88 found, 77 to go (pretty figures) and feeling like there can't be more than 20 words left.

5:26 am

lynxxx

tired, happy, and enjoying the grid for a bit before I crash into bed

5:26 am

sprite

sounds like a lovely state to be in just before bed, lyn :)

5:27 am

lynxxx

Lovely theme choice Sprite...hard to believe it is 30 years!

5:28 am

MollyL

Hugs to all dealing with alcoholism and/or personality disorders. I have dealt with them both, in people I have cared for and it is very, very difficult.

5:28 am

sprite

amazing, isn't it. He was one special guy. It really saddens me that special people are so often killed :(

5:29 am

sprite

am sorry you had to deal with them, Molly. It is very difficult. But I think you came out a winner. You sound balanced and full of light :)

5:30 am

MollyL

I believe that everything that crosses one's path, crosses it for a reason. You can either choose to learn from it, or be bitter about it. I choose to learn.

5:31 am

sprite

I couldn't agree more. Though I have had my periods of bitterness, but they don't help. Letting go, learning and investing in one's own life are a much better way to go ;)

5:31 am

Sally-catlover

I agree with you there Molly. My father used to say that no experience or knowledge is ever wasted.

5:32 am

sprite

oh wait, where do I have them... Rules for being human. Hang on.

5:32 am

Sally-catlover

Burning up with bitterness or hatred or whatever only burns yourself up.

5:34 am

sprite

RULES FOR BEING HUMAN

1. You will receive a body.
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period of time around.

2. You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".

4. A lesson is repeated until learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end.
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better than "here".
When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here".

7. Others are merely mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie inside you.
The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

5:54 am

gramma

I'm still struggling. Definition, anyone?

5:55 am

sprite

think of getting children into your life without pregnancies, gramma. Before and again prefixes will make the bigger ones.

5:56 am

FMitch

I already had the r version, told you I had gone crosseyed.

5:56 am

gramma

I don't see Imaculate Conception. I'll look

5:56 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, ty sprite! Wasn't actively looking for that, but already had the short form, so Robert is the brother of your mother <g>.

5:56 am

sprite

I know the feeling, FM!

gramma: for example if you cannot have children of your own, in spite of trying...

5:57 am

FMitch

lol Sally.

5:59 am

FMitch

Congrats spritey!

6:00 am

sprite

anything I may help with before I go?

6:01 am

FMitch

I am going to save my missing words for later as I do need to go to the post office and get some shopping done but am happy to procrastinate for a little longer as is is cold out there.

procrastinating is one of life's little treasures

hello again, half this \AM

Hi ruby, be back in a sec.

6:35 am

Sally-catlover

Flop! Hi ruby!

6:36 am

rubyfoo

flop??

6:36 am

Sally-catlover

Been rushing around :-)

6:36 am

rubyfoo

where do you get the energy?

6:36 am

rubyfoo

all I want to do is lie on the couch and read (or sleep)

6:37 am

Sally-catlover

It's probably something to do with my chocolate intake :-)

6:37 am

rubyfoo

ahah! I'll have to try that

6:38 am

Sally-catlover

Da** I ask how things are today?

6:39 am

rubyfoo

it is warm so snow is gone.

6:39 am

rubyfoo

much of the melt wound up in the house, but easily cleaned dup yesterday

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

Still below freezing here :-(

6:40 am

rubyfoo

it's around 50F here and sunny

6:40 am

rubyfoo

it was a brutal few days

6:40 am

rubyfoo

but still no satellite, so TV is limited to French stations

6:41 am

Sally-catlover

Why no satellite? Has the snow damaged the dish or whatever you have?

6:41 am

rubyfoo

it seems to be a systemic problem as I get a recording when I call. Very annoying, though

6:41 am

rubyfoo

first, they said it was because of the weather,; now they just put you on hold.....

6:42 am

Sally-catlover

Do you have a laptop? Could you sit by the fire and watch on that?

6:43 am

rubyfoo

no, haven't one but I don't really care. Plenty to read in bed or on couch

6:43 am

rubyfoo

my computer is a big old clunker and lives in my studio

6:43 am

rubyfoo

it's husband who is complaining

6:45 am

Sally-catlover

Does he not like to re**?

6:45 am

rubyfoo

he re**s for hours every day but his eyes get too tired to re** at night, too

6:46 am

Sally-catlover

Audiobooks are good for that, I love to listen to them and to drama on train journeys. I use my ipod, but anything would do. Can you get UK radio?

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I've tried to get him to use audio books as he has gotten older. They really saved my mother's life when her vision failed, made her last years much more pleasant

6:47 am

rubyfoo

in the US they have a wonderful free system, supply you with a player and free postage on books

6:48 am

Sally-catlover

What about films ruby? Can you watch DVDs?

6:50 am

rubyfoo

maybe, if we can figure out how to use the magnetoscope. Neither of us is computer-adept :(

6:50 am

rubyfoo

and now, it's re**ing time for me. {{sally}}

I'm even more virtuous because it's pretty cold. -10 C during the day.

7:26 am

I know! Apparently it was down to -16 through the night. All I know is that my floor mats were frozen in the car.

7:28 am

They are kind of like lasagna pockets Mom.

7:28 am

Mom

ah, what are you putting in them FMitch

7:28 am

oh geez Haz, that is cold

7:28 am

EvaNadine

i LOVE doing my christmas shopping online.
i havent even started shopping yet this year, as i have no ideas what to get people...its getting me a little flustered.
and its getting late if i want to do any shopping online without incurring the wrath of the shipping gods!

you can stuff them with spinach or in this case ground beef with tomato garlic onion etc and a white sauce with parmesan cheese on the top.

7:29 am

It really is much colder than we're used to and with a bit more snow last night to keep things interesting.

7:30 am

I bought a book to send to Italy and am just now finding out about the outrageous shipping prices -

7:30 am

Haz1558

That sa6 is twisty!

7:31 am

MollyL

JBV, international shipping prices are ghastly.

7:31 am

FMitch

How are Mr Haz and the the rest of the vets coping?

7:31 am

JBV

If I mail today or tomorrow I can use US Postal Service but after that I will need UPS or FED EX and they are exorbitant

7:31 am

Haz1558

I must admit, I choose my overseas presents with more than one eye on the weight.

7:31 am

JBV

I had no idea

7:31 am

Mom

the ground beef one sounds delicious

7:31 am

JBV

I would have bought a smaller book :)

7:32 am

Haz1558

Mr Haz is managing - but only with great care.

7:32 am

MollyL

They do sound yummy FM

7:32 am

Haz1558

He came down a hill and found himself unexpectedly facing back up the hill again.

7:33 am

Oh no Haz! Is he okay?

7:33 am

Mom

oh dear Haz, he isn't hurt is he?

No, he's fine, just quite surprised at how bad the roads are. He has winter tyres on but there's only so much they can do.

7:34 am

MollyL

Haz that happened to me once and it scared the life out of me. I'm not much for driving in snow.

7:34 am

Thankfully there were no other cars around and a kerb stopped him going into the hedge. The problem is that he really needs to be out and about so he just has to be as careful as possible.

Ooo, yes Eva. This may sound weird, but it's easy and the meatballs turn out great. Put a pound of frozen meatballs in the crockpot and cover with one bottle of chili sauce and 1 small jar of (yes) grape jelly. Simmer in the crockpot for a few hours. They are really good.

8:23 am

EvaNadine

thats exactly the kinda thing im looking for! having a holiday party and i want easy, no-work snacks. :)

EvaNadine

not that i dont love drinking tea anyway, but i find it rather sad that i have to resort to making tea just to stay warm in the office...

8:40 am

MollyL

Eva why is your office so cold?

8:41 am

NonoNanette

It is sad Eva, It would seem that workers would be much more productive if they were comfortably warm

8:42 am

EvaNadine

i readily admit that i find it much colder than everyone else does -- im just cold-blooded.
but most of the women find it chilly in here.
its always been a battle of men-vs-women. we have to call the building maintenance to get the temp changed, and whenever we ask them to turn it up, the men complain that its too hot + they call to have them turn it back down...

8:43 am

EvaNadine

pretty much, whoever whines the loudest wins.

8:43 am

when i was a kid, i thought it was "War-War Two" -- i thought because it was the second one, they named it twice!

It was "The Tablet," the Catholic newspaper

9:23 am

JBV

hi Boo

9:23 am

EvaNadine

jmc -- then you might enjoy the book "Ella Minnow Pea"
;)

9:24 am

JBV

I'm laughing here, thanks jmc

9:24 am

jmcnrick

hi boo

9:24 am

jmcnrick

never heard of that book evan

9:25 am

EvaNadine

ive read it twice, its cute.
it is a series of letters between a few characters who live on a fictitious island named after the guy who came up with the sentence that has every letter of the alphabet in it...

9:25 am

jmcnrick

it was rough teaching my kid the alphabet because i still tend to think elemento p so i had to be careful

9:26 am

jmcnrick

okay not getting nbt before work -- late leaving home as it is

9:26 am

EvaNadine

one day, in the town square (where they have a statue to the guy that has the sentence on it) a letter fell off the statue. the government decided it was a sign from the gods that they werent supposed to use that letter anymore, so it was outlawed.
one-by-one, letters start falling off the statue, and the letters written between the characters have to reflect that...

9:26 am

EvaNadine

eventually, it becomes quite difficult to write (and read!) so they plan an uprising to get the letters reinstated.
its a fun story!

9:27 am

jmcnrick

seems to me i heard a story about a country where a letter was outlawed O maybe?

9:27 am

jmcnrick

sounds cute evan and I like reading children's stories so i may go see if the library has it

9:28 am

okay i am off to save the world (thought I would think I would be done by now) *grumble grumble stupid world always needs saving*

the more per inch the better

10:14 am

10:14 am

crosshair

10:14 am

o-o

Sipe

Sipe
Fine lines or grooves cut into the Tread of tires. They allow the tire to flex and give better Traction on wet surfaces. They may also reduce tire noise.

1:24 pm

redturtlehead

I was not too excited about the race, but all of a sudden finally in the past 2 weeks, my pace has dropped and I have a PR chance...so I am getting very nervy. Lots of nightmares..

1:24 pm

ChampFit

Oh. My mom likes to come to my races. Pretty awesome to have your 76 year old mom roadside cheering you on!

1:24 pm

Uneaixoise

terrific, champ!

1:25 pm

redturtlehead

Annie I will say hello to them from you. I wonder, perhaps my sister and I could get a day ot take the train down to NYC....we could have tea! or coffee!

1:25 pm

ChampFit

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!! Try to just go and let the day bring what it will. You'll stress yourself crazy!

1:25 pm

redturtlehead

My Dad I think recalls his own glory days and wonders why I am not faster...

1:25 pm

redturtlehead

My last dream was that they changed the race to this very Hilly area where I live and that I was running in slow motion...

1:25 pm

ChampFit

I have a brother who's one year younger and WAY faster. But no one holds it agains me.

1:25 pm

Anniebrook

red, that would be nice

1:26 pm

1:28 pm

Anniebrook

red, did you buy mittens?

1:30 pm

redturtlehead

Not yet Annie, it is supposed to be warm again on Friday, up to 70...

1:30 pm

Anniebrook

red, so then no mittens needed. very unusual weather for florida

1:31 pm

EvaNadine

hot tea, round 2
this morning it was a chai, this afternoon it is a honey-vanilla chamomile...

1:31 pm

ChampFit

What about for the run?

1:31 pm

redturtlehead

It does get cold, as long as it goes away by Friday it will be fine...If it stays we are all going to turn into pale zombies.

1:31 pm

redturtlehead

If it is in the 50's I should be ok without mittens.

1:32 pm

ChampFit

I was thinking it would start colder...

1:32 pm

Anniebrook

I think so. It was in the 30's at night down in Hallandale Beach. And very windy. Sounds like New York today.

1:33 pm

redturtlehead

I just looked at the 7 day forecast. currently ther are predicting...eeek 61 degrees and 99% humidity. at 7 am. Race at 6.

1:33 pm

ChampFit

UGH!!! Start with the water now!!!

1:34 pm

Anniebrook

I wish you a good race red. I am going to put my groceries away. Bye for now.

1:34 pm

redturtlehead

I am hoping its not correct. that is so odd. for winter in Florida. We usually are at 50-60% humidity. But its still several days away right? they could adjust it.

1:34 pm

redturtlehead

Bye De** Annie!

4:38 pm

Soodle

Oh Goody. I love embarrasing stories that don't involve me.....

4:38 pm

cosdem

saturday night i went out. took a cab.. got pretty drunk *they had a buy 1 get 5 drinks free" special for a few hours

4:39 pm

Soodle

Sounds promising..........

4:39 pm

cosdem

fast forward to sunday morning.. i cannot find my wallet anywhere. i searched the house all over... freaked out, cancelled my debit cards and ordered a new one

4:39 pm

Soodle

Continue.....

4:39 pm

cosdem

called the cab company they said to call on Tuesday since thats when they turn in lost and found. (the bar didnt have the wallet)......

4:39 pm

cosdem

cab called back.. nothing.

4:40 pm

cybernan

hello everyone - back for the last 50

4:40 pm

cosdem

so i do a one more search in my house. it was on my nightstand the whole time.

4:40 pm

Soodle

Nice one, Cos. (Soodle wondering if any bars here do a buy 1 get 5 free night....)

4:41 pm

Soodle

Hey Nan :-)

4:41 pm

cosdem

and i realized i didnt take my wallet with me,. i never do when i go out. just my id and debit

4:41 pm

Lady Biotch

love Cos stories - always make me laugh.....love soodle humor too I just lurk and laugh, lurk and laugh

4:42 pm

MollyL

No more buy one get five free for you, young man. That is hilarious.

4:42 pm

cosdem

and now i cant buy anything... til my replacement card comes.. sometime this week

4:42 pm

Soodle

Oooh, the demon drink. Hi Lady!

4:42 pm

MollyL

Cos, apparently The Universe decided to put you on a spending hold.

4:43 pm

Soodle

Karma..... doncha just hate it!

4:43 pm

cosdem

and i need to do christmas shopping! lol

4:43 pm

Lady Biotch

can't believe how cold it has been Soodle - I was complaining about 18 degrees with a wind chill factor of 10 we are having a warm front compared to you

4:44 pm

MollyL

To counter balance that, I have a touching story. I got a box in the mail from my sister today. I had already gotten her box with holiday gifts in it, so I thought perhaps she had forgotten to pack one.

4:44 pm

Soodle

Positively balmy where you are, compared to here, Lady. This cold spell has broken all weather records.

4:45 pm

Soodle

So, what was in it, Moll?

4:45 pm

MollyL

It was a lovely gift for me, because my sister was thinking about how hard this time of year must be for me, missing my husband. It's a beautiful white candle, inside of a piece of tree trunk. I am Pagan by nature and have a deep love of trees.

4:45 pm

cosdem

oh that sounds beautiful

4:46 pm

Soodle

Oh, how lovely. Molly. A combination of light and nature, and a wonderful sister. That must have made you very happy. :-)

4:46 pm

MollyL

She said that she said some prayers over it before she sent it, and that each time I light it, I should be reminded of the great love there is for me in this world. Did I mention that I stood in the right line for sisters before I jumped into this world?

4:47 pm

MollyL

Made all my eye makeup a soppy mess, that did. In a good way.

4:48 pm

Soodle

Thats wonderful Molly. And you deserve it. You are a great cheerer-upper for lots of Babblers (including myself).

4:49 pm

Soodle

Is this your first Christmas without Mr Molly?

4:49 pm

jmcnrick

<==liked cosd story

4:50 pm

cosdem

:-)

4:50 pm

MollyL

Yes it is Soodle. He passed in May. I took a picture of the candle. I'll post it here later. I need to go pick boy up from work.

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

hang in there molly

4:50 pm

Soodle

((((Mollyl)))) I look forward to seeing the picture.

4:51 pm

dfmchfhf

My tablet just di4 :o(
Or more precisely, it exploded.
(hi all...)

4:51 pm

Soodle

Hey JMC.... How did your world-saving day go?

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

i personally got through the first christmas but nearly di4 of pain with the coming of the new year

4:51 pm

cosdem

anyone have a clue for the last do 6/24?

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

well it still needs saving soodle but i got some things done like repairing the telephone line so i could do credit card donations

4:52 pm

jmcnrick

it exploded dfm? that sounds unpleasant

4:53 pm

dfmchfhf

well, to be more precise, the fan exploded... there are bits of fan all around the inside of it.

4:53 pm

Soodle

I found the first Christmas more difficult than the New Year. I sort of looked at the new year as a new beginning, blah blah. The empty seat at theChristmas dinner table was excrutiating.

4:53 pm

jmcnrick

yikes!

4:53 pm

dfmchfhf

well, at least THAT explains why it has been overheating quite often recently...

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

well i suppose it is whatever triggers that realization that you are realio trulio alone that does it

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

i had a 8 year old son at christmas to attend to and he was asleep when the new year came in

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

it was one of the coldest winters ever with the pipes in my house freezing to bursting 3 times and waking up to the sound of neighbors hammering (literally) the ice off their steps to get out of the house

4:56 pm

jmcnrick

and the water was contaminated and I had to go to the second floor to get a bucket of water and bring it to the first floor to boil before we could use it for anything.

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

good times

4:57 pm

Soodle

Hmm. The holidays are indeed a tricky time of year. But, as usual.... we get on with it! (Beats the heck out to the alternative!!).

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

exactly soodle!

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

5:05 pm

jmcnrick

5:06 pm

Soodle

Well, fellow Babblers, I think I will repair to the Soodle Boudoir. Can I clue anybody before I go?

cosdem

"I'm gonna pr7 a child!"

5:21 pm

jmcnrick

disclosing 7 letters of an 8 letter word is quite the "clue."

5:21 pm

SeaSpray

Hi red

5:21 pm

cosdem

pr8 even

5:21 pm

cybernan

2nd re 7, please?

5:21 pm

5:22 pm

cosdem

5:23 pm

cybernan

sa 7, please?

5:23 pm

jmcnrick

maybe you can pr8 a law

5:23 pm

redturtlehead

wildcat17

po7 = beg of boat with inflatables and fork part

5:43 pm

dfmchfhf

Alternatively, the cartesian identities for the topology are
(x,y) ~ (x+1,y) ~ (x,y+1)
where ~ represents the equivalence operator.

5:43 pm

if one is taking protnix for ulcer, and has immediate indigestion, is there anything to take for the immediate discomfort? protonix is one at night

6:45 pm

HarryHood

hi all!

6:46 pm

hootowl

6:46 pm

kje

protonix should not cause indigestion

6:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

iwould take the dose but not sure if i can eat later after taking it

6:46 pm

kje

take it with food at dinner - it lasts 24 hours anyway, so will still cover your nocturnal GERD

6:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, drug is not the cause. it's the treatment

6:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty kje!

6:47 pm

kje

ah, all the atibiotics... yes... take with food

6:47 pm

MPittore

I have reccently heard that if you have indigestion to take a couple spoons of vinegar and that will stop it.

6:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

i tseems an empty stomach is causing discomfort.

6:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

too much time between lunch , which is small, and dinner

6:48 pm

kje

yes, pills in general can be hard to take on an empty stomach, especially some of those antibiotics

6:48 pm

MPittore

The reason is that indigestion is often caused by too little stomach acids

6:48 pm

can you expand the clue for do6 old man?

7:17 pm

Can't say for sure about the weekend because that toe is not ready for going out and about.

7:17 pm

7:17 pm

stidmama

7:18 pm

Sending more blessings for Gran Pere's toe.

7:18 pm

stidmama

?? smooth coat border collie? like it doesn't need a lot of brushing?

7:18 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Heavens It should be cheaper, but poor guy gets the weekend in the kennel too, which he may actually enjoy...he seems to like it there.

7:18 pm

welki

not much brushing at all, but he sheds like any other

7:19 pm

7:19 pm

herinfernallady

Awww Puppy

7:19 pm

7:20 pm

stidgmere

Thank you Molly L. he is beginning to follow the doctors order to stay off his foot.

8:15 pm

lil*monkey

wow just saw an Old Navy commercial, they have fleece pullovers for $5 on Saturday

8:15 pm

MPittore

My friend is from Serbia and his wife from Canada..the Slava is a Serbian celebration of the families move from paganism to Christianity and they have a family Saint, I believe the celebration is symbolic of Holy Communion because they have a special slava cake and wheat...

8:16 pm

herinfernallady

EKK I blink for a min and everyone appears

8:21 pm

8:22 pm

Totally random question I know

8:23 pm

It's some kind of aromatic resin from Middle Eastern countries, I think. A call to your local Catholic church might clarify that.

Lbd is allergic to Catholics. : P

I am curious. Used in Pa's funeral yesterday I swear I smelled Wormwood

8:25 pm

11:49 pm

11:49 pm

stidmama

:-D okay! I'll wave back!

11:49 pm

11:50 pm

stidmama

*sigh* but but but -- I am not contagious, and tomorrow I get to go be extra eyes and ea4 in a 6th grade classroom...

11:50 pm

Pinikula

If you're driving the I-5 to Cali...well, I'll be on one side or the other when you drive through Eug/Spr ;)

11:50 pm

11:51 pm

stidmama

yes pini? *innocent mama look*

11:51 pm

Pinikula

they sure did, stid...we're off to the national championship game in Jan (1st in our history)

11:51 pm

cybernan

oh -- we are making a stop at a winery in Eugene

11:52 pm

stidmama

about time, if you ask me. They played really well. We were impressed

11:52 pm

Pinikula

which one, nan?

11:52 pm

Pinikula

our men's a capella group is on TV, too!!! (and doing rather well thus far)

11:52 pm

Pinikula

seems like we're having a stellar year compared to the last few

11:53 pm

stidmama

good for them all, pini!

11:53 pm

Pinikula

(If you're inclined sometime...check out "The Sing Off"...)

11:54 pm

Pinikula

nan, do you know the name of the winery? King Estate? Hinman? other?

11:55 pm

cybernan

Sweet Cheeks Winery (your names are as inventive as ours!) -- is there another that you would recommend, keeping in mind that we are looking for an off dry white wine?

11:56 pm

stidmama

what is the name of the men's group?

11:56 pm

stidmama

not whiffenpoofs, I think

11:56 pm

Pinikula

I'm not much into wine, nan (ruru would have better input in that regard); however, if you're looking for scenery...King Estate is quite spectacular (like going to an Italian winery)...

11:56 pm

Pinikula

no, stid...silly name :)

11:56 pm

Pinikula

On The Rocks (OTR) :)

11:57 pm

stidmama
