1:52 am

m9f9l

I'm talking about Colour of Magic

1:53 am

m9f9l

But I really haven't read many of his books at all. My kids have read almost all of them

1:53 am

Kazzer99

i never used to be keen but i have just started reading them all again and i think each one has its merits - not a fan of Jingo and the 5th Elephant

1:54 am

Kazzer99

any whoo must be off to work - good luck with the troll baiting - be back later

1:54 am

m9f9l

folks here say "remember 5th elephant being ok... Jingo is just.. odd"

1:54 am

mich_pdx

ta kazz

1:55 am

m9f9l

"just checking.. 5th elephant has Vimes in Uberwold?"

lynxxx

GP obviously needs us to be friends as he/she can't have any other ones if he is hanging around here

3:03 am

demouse

so really just bored kids with nothing better to do then ?

3:03 am

lynxxx

Yep

3:05 am

Good morning/evening all.

3:05 am

lynxxx

morning Haz

3:05 am

demouse

i really cannot believe in this day and age kids could possibly be bored

3:07 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

3:08 am

lynxxx

We had a mention on our news last night of your frozen pipes problems up there - are you effected Haz?

3:09 am

Haz1558

Our water was only off for a few hours on Tuesday and we managed to escape any frozen pipes in the house. It's been a different story in the rest of the province with unprecedented cold temperatures and a rapid thaw causing chaos.

3:09 am

sandrafrances

Morning all how many words please

3:10 am

lynxxx

Sounded very grim

3:10 am

lynxxx

hi Sandra - 186

3:10 am

Haz1558

The water system itself probably needs a huge investment and of course, in the present economic climate, that's going to be hard to find.

3:10 am

sandrafrances

Thanks. Happy 2011 to you all

3:10 am

Haz1558

Some people have been without running water for 10 days. Yes, pretty grim.

3:18 am

lynxxx

Half way and I'm not seeing any more words

3:19 am

Haz1558

It's quite an interesting grid.

3:34 am

Atalante

hello hello :)

3:34 am

Haz1558

Hello hello hello.

3:34 am

lynxxx

Hi!

3:36 am

Atalante

I hope there was enough water for spangle's gruel

3:36 am

rubyfoo

funny to see two trolls earlier. DFM and I were on and we both went off

3:36 am

jmcnrick

hi all

3:36 am

lynxxx

hi jmc and Ruby

3:36 am

rubyfoo

{{lynxx}}! [[ata]]!! {{jmc}} happy NYE everybody

3:37 am

rubyfoo

they pretended they didn't know what trolls were

3:37 am

Haz1558

There's just enough, Ata.

3:37 am

Atalante

wouldn't want her gruel-less

3:38 am

Haz1558

No, we're cruel, but not that cruel.

3:38 am

jmcnrick

odd for trolls to call themselves trolls

3:38 am

rubyfoo

gruel, but not that gruel....

3:38 am

Atalante

looool

3:38 am

rubyfoo

they didn't, at first, but then it became clear and we both poofed

3:39 am

jmcnrick

and they seemed to know who dr god was

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I'm happy, our friends from Dublin have pitched up! They keep a house on our road and come here a few times a year for skiing in winter, for tennis in summer. Happy

3:41 am

jmcnrick

pitched up?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

arrived hahah

3:42 am

lynxxx

BBS temp has dropped lots so can go clean up outside

3:42 am

jmcnrick

ah how nice

3:42 am

rubyfoo

was the flooding anywhere near you, lynxx? has anybody seen or heard from sandyloo?

3:42 am

jmcnrick

3:42 am

rubyfoo

happy new year, lynxx!!!!

3:43 am

jmcnrick

happy new year

3:46 am

jmcnrick

there was flooding in Oz?

3:46 am

Haz1558

Yes, and the Australian PM has been to visit those affected.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

it is such a huge place, I don't know who was affected. One of my friends lives in Hervey Bay and her daughter was near the flooding fur, fortunately, not in it

3:47 am

jmcnrick

you know it is bad when the pm visits

3:48 am

jmcnrick

odd that it didn't make it on my radar screen

3:53 am

rubyfoo

phantom: famous killer whale

3:54 am

jmcnrick

i must know words that begin with vowels but i can never see them in the grid

3:55 am

jmcnrick

bbl

3:55 am

rubyfoo

my i's and o's are terrible

3:55 am

Haz1558

Bye, jmc.

rubyfoo

half, yay!

4:02 am

lynxxx

Back. Flooding is up the top of Aust Ruby, I am at the bottom (of the mainland - not Tasmania)

4:04 am

rubyfoo

I'm glad you're far away, lynxx. Is it east or west?

4:05 am

lynxxx

East

4:05 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, that's where my friend is!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

sending an e-mail now

4:08 am

rubyfoo

*ppof*

4:09 am

Atalante

what an odd grid

4:09 am

Haz1558

It's a strange shape or something but lots of nice words.

4:10 am

Atalante

with lots of words from the last day or two

4:11 am

Haz1558

I know, now all we have to do is remember.

4:11 am

Atalante

I do wish Dr G would jumble up the letters a bit more

4:13 am

Atalante

and there's a 10? goodness

4:14 am

Haz1558

Yes! And normal.

4:15 am

Atalante

remarkable!

4:15 am

Atalante

and the african wind

4:16 am

Haz1558

We're not going to have a long session of us clueing and you pretending you haven't got it?

4:16 am

lynxxx

oh great, the fireworks have started - Stew will be shaking for the next 3 hours

4:16 am

Atalante

well I haven't got it, but nor do I want clues!

4:16 am

Atalante

poor Stew :(

4:17 am

Haz1558

Poor Stew! That's the only advantage of Spangle being rather deaf, fireworks no longer disturb.

4:17 am

Atalante

Hobbit did a weird thing yesterday

4:17 am

Atalante

actually 2 weird things

4:17 am

Atalante

1) excavated a hole at the bottom of my book case behind 2 big boxes of books and slept in there for hours

4:17 am

Atalante

2) barked at the painting of an owl on the side of the van standing next to us at some traffic lights

4:18 am

Haz1558

Have you got a session booked for her with a therapist?

4:18 am

lynxxx

rather odd

4:19 am

Atalante

very odd. she lay in this tiny hole for hours yesterday with her bum half sticking out. then hasn't been back there since!

If I had an mo6.26 I'd be able to tell you!

4:21 am

Atalante

oh, no it wasn't! it was a cartoon owl!

4:21 am

Atalante

but strangely enough, I've been drawing an mo6/36 over the last few days

4:22 am

lynxxx

and there is a coincidence, the NZ version is also called a Ruru

4:22 am

Atalante

tis indeed

4:24 am

Atalante

but I didn't know you could spell it the mo6/36 way

4:25 am

Happy New Year, everyone.

Scrabbler

Hi Nono

8:18 am

sprite

any nice plans for tonight, Scrabs?

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Haha. No, I have never been able to figure out the excitement over New Year's Eve. We flip a calendar and life and the world are the same--same challenges.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

I will go to sleep around 10, as usual, then the ski resort across the valley will set off their celebratory fireworks and I will wake up to BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, await the big finale, and go back to sleep.

8:20 am

sprite

I like the reminder that we can renew our lives. The feeling that new things can happen if we make them. But otherwise... no, it is not a real holiday for me either.

8:21 am

Scrabbler

I set goals all of the time, and I see my birthday as more of a milestone, not a new calendar.

8:21 am

sprite

arrggh someone stole my sapphires!

8:28 am

Aloyisius

8:28 am

sprite

kind of scary :(

8:28 am

Scrabbler

I wondered if something being nuked caused a problem.

8:29 am

Aloyisius

well, he swears "no metal"

8:29 am

sprite

you didn't try and dry your pooch in it, did you now, Aloy?

8:29 am

Aloyisius

lol.. no, sprite. Wish I had a pooch - do you mean canine?

8:30 am

Aloyisius

my boys did put our kitten in the clothes dryer once, to "give it a ride"..

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Po4 kitty!

8:30 am

sprite

yeah :) Famous urban legend, the lady that tried to dry her pooch in a microwave and then sued the company for not warning her.

8:30 am

NonoNanette

8:31 am

NonoNanette

*hands Scrabs a bucket*

8:35 am

NonoNanette

afraid I'm with Scrabs but not because of the kalamari

8:35 am

Scrabbler

I have gotten far enough in my vegetarianism that the idea of eating an animal really grosses me out. And I do not mean to criticize anyone that does enjoy eating meat, it's just that I cannot fathom it.

8:35 am

NonoNanette

I have had very bad reactions to sh6

8:35 am

Aloyisius

you don't like mussels or clams, nono?

8:36 am

Aloyisius

oh.. allergy to sh6

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, Nono. Do you have an EpiPen with you at all times?

8:36 am

NonoNanette

no Scrabs but I always ask if its in a dish or not

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Be careful, Nono, as an exposure could occur.

8:37 am

Aloyisius

"shroom" is used so much in the vernacular, not acceptable tho

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Any spr words?

8:38 am

sprite

none, Scrabs

8:38 am

Scrabbler

TY, I shall stop typing spr words.

8:38 am

Scrabbler

It sure will.

8:39 am

suefrad625

I took the dogs walking this AM. It was my first walk in a while and I did it in my new Shap-UP like sneakers. We only went about 1.5 miles, but I am glad to say that the outside of my thighs are killing me already.

Oh, Flask, glad I caught you - caught your post the other day and it seems I was irritating you, which I'm sorry for. Before you condemn me, though, you might wanna walk a mile in my shoes. That's all..

10:03 am

heya, Molly - right back atcha! Hope you're celebrating? :)

Oh, pretty good, thanks :) just getting used to being housebound, not drinking, etc. All the rules! How are you??

Our New Year has just begun. I hear fireworks of the real, noisy kind!

10:05 am

dofith

NB, what is wrong?

10:06 am

MollyL

I'm doing okay. Looking forward to a bright and shiny New Year. This past year was pretty rugged. I'm ready for the good stuff now.

10:06 am

dofith

Are you ill? I haven't been on much, lately.

10:06 am

Nancy Boy

Oh, it's a long story, Dofith - won't talk about it here as it irritates some, apparently! I've just been pretty ill, but hopefully getting better now. That's all :)

10:07 am

Nancy Boy

Yeah Molly, tell me about it. 2011 gets to be OUR year ;)

10:07 am

MollyL

YAY!!! *Does a happy dance with NB*

10:10 am

Nancy Boy

*sigh* I was rather hoping Flask would accept my apology, though. I hate going into the new year with people mad at me!

10:11 am

Haz1558

I'm sure Flask would love to walk a mile, maybe not in your shoes, but since she has been crippled by polio, it's probably not possible.

Haz, I'm sure I don't have to explain idioms to you. Then again, since you're getting on at me for, er, apologising, I doubt anything I say would do much to change your pretty obvious dislike of me.

10:14 am

Haz1558

I was just pointing out why she might not be in the mood to be told to wallk a mile in your shoes, that's all.

10:14 am

Nancy Boy

Hi Kazzer...I guess by the way they behave. If they're being overly offensive, won't listen to explanations, etc, I guess you could say they're trolling - but if in doubt, I'd let Dr God be judge.

10:14 am

MollyL

NB, your side of things is offering the apology. That's done. Kazz, I don't have an answer to your question. Sometimes it's hard to tell.

10:15 am

dofith

Well, I'm sorry to hear that, NB - can't see how you could irritate anybody. I hope the New Year brings whatever tolerance and understanding to whomever requires it, and good health to you!

10:16 am

Kazzer99

there were some on this morning but not sure if they all were

10:16 am

Nancy Boy

Thank you, Dofith, how kind of you :) and right back atcha! Wish you good health, good company and good fun this new year - and the same to you, Molly!

10:16 am

dofith

Now, to Babble - my half-completed word list won't load - I've tried refreshing - any ideas, anyone?

10:17 am

Kazzer99

Happy New Year Dofith

10:18 am

Hi Haz......how you doin'?

10:18 am

dofith

And to you in 8 hours, Kazzer!

10:18 am

Kazzer99

it must be nearly new year in oz, If i have problems i shut down completely and restart

10:18 am

Nancy Boy

Tried the old fashioned turning it off and turning it on again, Dofith?

10:20 am

Nancy Boy

Flask - I'm sure you caught it, but since you're here I'd like to apologise for irritating you. Didn't mean to upset anyone.

10:20 am

dofith

It is NY already. I'm in Western Australia, and it is about 12.15am here, so Melbourne, Sydney etc. are already 3 hours in to their New Year. I don't know all the nationalities of all Babblers, but I know we have some South Africans - they will be in about 6 hours, I guess.

10:21 am

dofith

Thanks for the advice, NB and Kazzer. I will try closing the whole thing down, as you suggest. I'll be back...

10:23 am

Nancy Boy

but - in future, it might be nice if you come to me, rather than badmouthing me behind my back. you don't have to like me, but please don't be mean. I don't think that's what anybody's here for.

10:24 am

dofith

Thanks, Kazzer - it's in memory of my dear departed pet, George Henry Bunn.

10:24 am

SeaSpray

updated my icon...just checking

10:28 am

dofith

Oh, that's great, NB! Thanks for that - you've made my year!

10:28 am

Flask1

I was definitely NOT badmouthing you....I was merely saying that in those days I was referring to all the chat was geared around you and you're "illness"...whatever it may be, and it was almost impossible for others to speak about anything else or even ask for a clue, without feeling that they were being rude or otherwise!!

10:29 am

West of Virginia, or West Virginia, as in Mountain Momma?

the assumption is that your crabbiness is because of your age. i'm assuming it's because of something else

Oh please. I can't believe that "hoser" is not a word.

5:40 pm

welki

has anyone tried that recipe book, site, tastebook? i spent a couple of hours this afternoon starting one up .. got worried about lifting pics from the net, so decided to use photos of the kids on each recipe .. so recipes and a photo album all in one!

5:40 pm

alembick

what century was this dictionary written in??

5:41 pm

Mom

what a wonderful idea Welki

5:41 pm

dianedecoder

lol..... just a slang term for us Canucks !!

5:41 pm

Mom

Hi Alembick, Happy New Year

5:41 pm

alembick

no hoser, no mosh . . . they need some gen xers on the dictionary staff (not that i'm in that youthful gen)

5:41 pm

dianedecoder

hosers in the mosh pit.... LOL

5:41 pm

welki

my luck, i'd use a photo, commit some sort of copyright infringment offence and end up in the slammer with bubba *lol*

5:41 pm

alembick

Hi MOM!! Happy new year to you as well.

5:42 pm

Mom

thank you

5:43 pm

alembick

Well, yeah, I'm sorry, if the Oxford American Dictionary can give Palin's goofy word a place in the dictionary, I would think that hosers and mosh could be there too.

5:43 pm

welki

*pops open a bottle and pours a glass for alembick*

5:44 pm

MollyL

I'm right behind you Ale. Hoser is as much of a word as weewee, which Enable recognizes.

5:44 pm

Ormal

lol welki sounds like my kind of luck too!

5:44 pm

Mom

May I please have a clue for the S in the 5th column?

5:48 pm

alembick

with you Ormal, although the last "mosh pit" I was in wasn't called a mosh pit, b/c it was before the word was coined . . . Blue Oyster Cult concert in 1979 . . . but it was certainly a mosh pit

5:49 pm

Mom

thanks Welki

6:35 pm

6:35 pm

6:36 pm

dan2bit

er molly

6:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

yay dan! you should have waited until midnight ;)

6:36 pm

hydra

Humour him. Temple, while being strict and keeping him at arm's length. I know a man and woman in a similar position, both recently lost their spouses. They are now co-counselling one another, having got over the initial awkwardness.

6:37 pm

hydra

They are also neighbours, living next door to one another.

6:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty hydra. we are two totally different people from two different words.

6:38 pm

MollyL

TO...cutting to the chase...are you feeling like he's taking advantage of your weakened emotional state to "swoop in". If so, just tell him you aren't in a placed to deal with that right now.

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

he cleaned my driveway for me omday. when we did that last year, i brought him over a dinner.

6:39 pm

MollyL

Or a place

6:39 pm

hydra

So are my friends, and he is eight years younger than her and she started coming on to him, so different position to you, but they were sensitive to each other after a few initial difficulties. She kept bringing wine round when he was still in deep grief.

6:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

so i guess i will do that again, to repay him. he raved over it and it was just ch icken parm, nothing fancy.

6:39 pm

hydra

That was sweet of him, Temple. I guess he's very needy at present.

6:40 pm

hydra

And a lovely thing for you to do, but you must be clear with him so he doesn'[t get wrong idea.

6:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, i mena, not as if i invited him over for dinner. i thought it made it clear it was a repyament of sorts, in appreciattion.

6:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was indeed a small thing for sich a big help

6:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

sheesh good thing i am sober, i annot type!!!

6:42 pm

hydra

He's probably blind to the ramifications and social subtleties.

6:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty all for the thoughts

6:42 pm

hydra

Wonder I can. I'm still swigging wine! Wish I was at a party. But I'm in good company here!!

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

he invited mne to his parents tomorrow so i would not be alone. but i could have been with my brother and family, i WANT to be home alone.

6:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

hmm i keep seeing"menopause" i n this beast

6:44 pm

hydra

Then you must say. Don't agree out of politeness or sympathy. Put your own needs first. You owe it to yourself after everything you have been through.

6:44 pm

hydra

Ha ha - menopause. I see it too!

6:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh hell, there is another knock at the door. i am in a fishbowl here.

6:46 pm

hydra

Is it him again?

6:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Press. No press.

6:47 pm

hydra

Quite right, Kaplan.

6:47 pm

scouser

Finished - finally sorted those po and pr - what does proem mean. Hallo Hydra !

6:50 pm

ChampFit

Hi all! Sorry you're going to the PB scouser, but thanks for the word! ;)

6:50 pm

scouser

Hello Hydra. Pushkin pic got a bit squashed. I shall do a bit of editing later today. The neighbours had a few posh fireworks and lots of the lanterns are still sailing about.

6:51 pm

hydra

OMG, I've found a Toblerone in the kitchen. This is very bad!

6:51 pm

hydra

Oh, it's Pushkin. I should have recognised him!

6:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think it means a prose po4.

6:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't think that puts me in the PB, but maybe halfway.

6:52 pm

ChampFit

I vote "no"

6:52 pm

hydra

I have 81 left to find. How about you?

6:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

44.

Champ, we are neck and neck. Kaplan, you're doing really well.

6:53 pm

scouser

oops - forgot myself there. sorry all. Too much New Year. Am I forgiven?

6:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think I told you I never finish anymore. I just can't get excited enough.

6:53 pm

ChampFit

81 now...have you used Lickety yet? think it's about that time...

6:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't go to Lickety anymore because I'm too lazy. I just use tile stats and eventually give up.

6:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes hydra and he's phoned me twice

6:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am going to spend New Year's Eve with the Marx Brothers on TCM.

6:55 pm

6:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

ChampFit

Best thing ever, isn't it?

6:58 pm

hydra

I'm on FB, Kazzer!

6:58 pm

alembick

well, not so much alcohol. if you're talking about my stalling at 44 words. I've had more alcohol and done better. but perhaps you are discussing some more interesting situation . . .

6:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

what is this? a new hootenanny?

6:58 pm

hydra

Don't know your name though.

6:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

ale, omg no not referring to you, referring mto my neighbor.

6:59 pm

hydra

There's one every year, Temple. It will be finishing soon and then I shall have to either finish the bottle or go to bed. Or both.

6:59 pm

ChampFit

you have a drunken neighbor TO? yuck!

7:00 pm

7:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl

reslly, what time? an intersting one?

7:02 pm

hydra

I have eaten a whole packet of crisps while talking to you all. How many calories? I hate trolls.

7:02 pm

ChampFit

I'm in Texas, so it was about 11 my time. Not very interesting...trying to bait us into calling dr. god. We ignored and he went away.

7:02 pm

alembick

oh, I assume anytime someone says something is alcohol induced they must be talking about me. Perhaps I should consider the ramifications of this.

7:02 pm

hydra

Good. What an idiot!

7:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol hydra, what a string o f non-sequiturs :D :D :D

7:03 pm

ChampFit

7:03 pm

hydra

My drunken grasshopper brain, Temple. Trying to chagt to everyone on every subject.

7:03 pm

ChampFit

Leet (or "1337"), also known as eleet or leetspeak, is an alternative alphabet for the English language that is used primarily on the Internet. It uses various combinations of ASCII characters to replace Latinate letters. For example, leet spellings of the word leet include 1337 and l33t; eleet may be spelled 31337 or 3l33t.

11:01 pm

renfield

happy new year east coast~~

11:01 pm

jmcnrick

wow the fireworks are loud this year! (not for me yet though)

11:01 pm

grannyrose

could be i'm dwelling on the fact i have to preach tomorrow on the attitude of gratitude

11:01 pm

gortmold

where r u preaching?

11:01 pm

jmcnrick

and lots of cheering which is odd since this is a sorta suburban urban area

11:02 pm

grannyrose

at my church in Upwey, in the dandenong ranges, just outside of melbourne

11:02 pm

jmcnrick

first pr7/36? please

11:02 pm

gortmold

is that near Glen Waverly (where i just was and which is the only bit of melbourne i know)?

11:03 pm

grannyrose

gort, if you had looked to the east, you probably would have seen the hills in the far distance. about 30 min drive

11:04 pm

jmcnrick

granny i can tell you a story about appreciation if you want

11:04 pm

grannyrose

pr + d*****(death)

11:04 pm

gortmold

pr7 = vow = a pr***** only change first vowel

11:05 pm

grannyrose

go for it jmc

11:05 pm

gortmold

so go on granny, practice on us - give us the guts of yr sermon

11:05 pm

jmcnrick

ty gort

11:05 pm

jmcnrick

ty granny

11:05 pm

jmcnrick

my husband went deaf almost immediately after we married

11:06 pm

gortmold

(think i did see those eastern hills in the 5 mins of clear sunny weather we had)

11:06 pm

jmcnrick

this was very trying since he was a criminal trial lawyer by calling (and I do mean calling not just profession)

11:06 pm

grannyrose

have been thinking how we show gratitude, and how we show thanx...according to my concordance, 2 very different words....

11:06 pm

gortmold

go on granny

11:07 pm

gortmold

what's the dif?

11:07 pm

jmcnrick

it also meant that ontop of the stress of apparently being cut off from his calling he and i couldn't talk during the major times couple talk--pillow talk (cant read lips inthe drak) or in the car (can't drive and turn to look at the speaker)

11:07 pm

grannyrose

well, i have several in the congregation who are very depressed, how do i explain to them, when they can't feel anything

11:08 pm

jmcnrick

i am sorry go on granny

11:08 pm

grannyrose

well, thanx can be just a lip service word, gratitude comes from the heart, and hence is a feeling

11:09 pm

gortmold

so the dif between feeling grateful and cultivatin grateful attitude is all the more important then, eh?

11:09 pm

grannyrose

yes, and please go on jmc...am interested to know what next

11:09 pm

gortmold

you go on too, jmc, where does the gratitude part kick in in yr story

11:10 pm

jmcnrick

well the deafness was tearing us apart between the stress and the inability to communicate

11:10 pm

grannyrose

also gratitude comes from an optomistic attitude to life, and how can you be optimistic when you are depressed?

11:11 pm

jmcnrick

we joined a couple support group--but it looked like we weren't going to make it

11:11 pm

grannyrose

oh, jmc...must have been so trying for both of you

11:11 pm

gortmold

then what happened?

11:11 pm

jmcnrick

when one month at the support group they had an exercise in which we were to turn to each other and and finish the sentence "I appreciated you today for. . . "

11:12 pm

MaMaWA

Happy New Year from mid west USA!!

11:12 pm

jmcnrick

we began doing that everynight and then added "The best thing that happened today was. . . " and "My gift to you today was. . . ."

11:12 pm

gortmold

cheers to you mama

11:12 pm

jmcnrick

Happy New Year Mamawa

11:13 pm

grannyrose

and back at you mama

11:13 pm

jmcnrick

we learned that we were often surprised by what the other appreciated and what the other gave as a gift

11:13 pm

gortmold

so what's the answer granny, or are you posign the question?

11:13 pm

gortmold

how did that affect yr relationship then jmc?

11:14 pm

jmcnrick

sometime one of us would do something as a gift that plain irritated the other one and when we began to see it as a gift our attitudes changed

11:14 pm

grannyrose

*nodding* what we consider just an everyday type thing is usually really appreciated by your other half

11:14 pm

jmcnrick

for example, when i was sick my hubby would bring me tea with lemon and honey which I hate

11:14 pm

gortmold

lol jmc

11:14 pm

gortmold

nothing like a selfless act of service to drive a girl bonkers

11:15 pm

jmcnrick

but when i looked at it as a gift of comfort i had an entirely different attitude

11:15 pm

jmcnrick

we did this every night from then on until the week he died

11:15 pm

gortmold

wow jmc that rocks

11:15 pm

grannyrose

gort, that is going to be my question to the congregation tomorrow, let them talk about it, then let them share their answers

11:15 pm

jmcnrick

i credit it with giving us the strength to go through some terrible times together still laughing

11:16 pm

gortmold

great question granny

11:16 pm

jmcnrick

we both learned to have gratitude for things we didn't necessarily like

11:16 pm

grannyrose

jmc, everynight, hubby and i say, i love you, and i never want to lose you, to each other, just before we go to sleep

11:17 pm

jmcnrick

that is a good thing too granny

11:17 pm

grannyrose

and we never part without saying i love you to each other...

11:17 pm

jmcnrick

this provides a little more in communication but remembering these things are done out of love is critical

11:18 pm

gortmold

so has that attitude translated to other hardships now jmc?

11:18 pm

jmcnrick

well it actually gave me some insight in being a better boss gort

11:18 pm

grannyrose

jmc, have you ever read " the 5 languages of love"?

11:18 pm

gortmold

was just thinking of that granny

11:18 pm

jmcnrick

i try to understand why my staffer did the thing that is driving me bat shits

11:19 pm

jmcnrick

no never have

11:19 pm

jmcnrick

or the person at the store or the other driver

11:19 pm

grannyrose

interesting read....learnt a lot about myself as well as my hubby

11:19 pm

jmcnrick

can't say i always remember or succeed. . .lol

11:19 pm

gortmold

me too granny

11:20 pm

jmcnrick

i will look into that book

11:21 pm

gortmold

so where will you recommend your audience/congregation directs their gratitude to, granny?

11:21 pm

jmcnrick

si6/21?

11:21 pm

gortmold

si + not the sun but the ****

11:22 pm

jmcnrick

ty gort

11:22 pm

grannyrose

well....i thought perhaps to God????

11:23 pm

jmcnrick

:-) there's a thought granny

11:23 pm

gortmold

i'm with you, but, why there granny?

11:24 pm

grannyrose

it's all about counting your blessings each and every day, and giving thanx with a grateful heart to God for providing them

11:25 pm

jmcnrick

sa5/12? please

11:25 pm

grannyrose

but then i fall over the great boulder of depression, and sit here trying to nut out how to teach this concept to people who can't feel

11:26 pm

gortmold

rhymes with va*** (as in steam)

11:26 pm

grannyrose

sa + the **o* and needy

11:26 pm

jmcnrick

ty gort and granny

11:27 pm

jmcnrick

11 left

11:27 pm

gortmold

i have depression. i have taught myself to list the good things in my life and at least mentally ascribe them to God even if i feel crap

11:27 pm

jmcnrick

i basically do the sa** thing gort

11:27 pm

gortmold

i listed 87 things the other day in less than 5 mins!

11:27 pm

grannyrose

yay gort, so you understand what i'm trying to do?

11:27 pm

gortmold

it seems i have a rip-snorting life

11:28 pm

gortmold

yeah, i do granny, and i applaud you for not trying to brow beat yr people with sermonising but trying to inspire them to something

11:28 pm

grannyrose

i just detest sermons which tell you just DO something, when there are people who don't know how to DO

11:29 pm

gortmold

but if you've dealt with depression yrself that gives you a platform to speak from

11:29 pm

gortmold

yeah right on granny

11:29 pm

jmcnrick

exactly granny

11:29 pm

grannyrose

strange, the bible tells us lots of things to DO, but not HOW to do

11:30 pm

gortmold

is that because principles are universal but methodology varies?

11:30 pm

grannyrose

um....did my soapbox talk give the game away?

11:31 pm

gortmold

hey?

11:31 pm

grannyrose

yes, gort...in my last sermon i illustrated that everyone's walk in life is different, we just have the same goal

11:31 pm

gortmold

what game? what soap box? what give-away? are you giving away a free soap box? (*confused*)

11:31 pm

jmcnrick

what game? I am still looking for words

11:32 pm

jmcnrick

11 left but they are all re and pr

11:32 pm

grannyrose

not you, gort, me...have battled with depression on several occasions, i'm one of the fortunate ones who has been able to go on...

11:33 pm

jmcnrick

well then you speak from experience granny and that is good

11:33 pm

gortmold

are you nervous about recommending gratitude when some haven't been able to go on?

11:34 pm

jmcnrick

re5/14?

11:34 pm

grannyrose

trouble is, jmc, i do9n't understand HOW i did it, it just seemed to happen one day...then i did have my kids and my faith to keep me going

11:34 pm

gortmold

jmcnrick

11:36 pm

gortmold

11:36 pm

jmcnrick

granny if they are depressed they will either not hear you and therefore not be hurt or they will hear you and therefore be helped!

11:37 pm

grannyrose
