Kazzer99

morning all

3:40 am

rubyfoo

hello kazzer

3:44 am

Kazzer99

seems quiet this morning

3:45 am

rubyfoo

I think all the North Americans were on just before I came on an hour ago

3:45 am

Kazzer99

funny time of the day I suppose - lots of folks in bed and some only just getting up or out at churh

3:45 am

rubyfoo

and thn they went to sleep

3:45 am

rubyfoo

our village church closed

3:46 am

rubyfoo

shortage of priests in France

3:46 am

Kazzer99

thats a shame - wow - we have several in Chard but i dont go to any

3:47 am

rubyfoo

there is an itinerant priest who comes to the village just for funerals

3:47 am

rubyfoo

but I don't the French went very often, anyway

3:47 am

rubyfoo

not the, think*

3:48 am

Kazzer99

how big is the village?

3:48 am

rubyfoo

about 10 or 12,ooo, but the valley agglomerate is over 100,000

3:48 am

rubyfoo

there is a town 10 mins away

3:49 am

Kazzer99

thats quite large - there are about 10,000 in chard

3:49 am

rubyfoo

where we are is the rural part -- thinly populated but very pretty

3:50 am

rubyfoo

are you in a "suburb" of Chard?

3:52 am

Kazzer99

chard isnt big enough for suburbs in the true sense - we are about 500 yards as the crow flies from the high street - with a playing fields and school ground between us and it. The houses where we live were built from the early 70s onwards but folks who know tend to use our road as a rat run to avoid the traffick lights on the main road

3:53 am

rubyfoo

our road is very narrow, but the house range from 18th c. (an old convent and a mill) to the 80's and 90's. Ours is from the 80's, but I've made it look older

3:54 am

Kazzer99

when i remember to download them, I will post some photos of chard on flickr

3:55 am

rubyfoo

that would be very nice! what is the closest big city?

3:55 am

rubyfoo

my exposure to Scotland is limited to Prestwick, Glasgow and Edinburgh, and that is more than 40 years ago!!!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

no no, 65 yrs ago!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

OMG, I'm so old!

3:56 am

Kazzer99

big city - the nearest big city is Bristol or Exeter or even Plymouth - most places nearby are towns

3:57 am

rubyfoo

oh, sorry, I thought your flag was scottish

3:57 am

Kazzer99

its about 70 miles to Plymouth and 50 or so to Bristol - i work on the outskirts of Exeter and wouldnt go there shopping unless dragged

3:58 am

Kazzer99

No it the English flag - Scotland is blue with a white x

3:58 am

rubyfoo

that's how I feel about any shopping

3:58 am

rubyfoo

shows how little I know!

3:58 am

Kazzer99

i need a fix everynow and then - havent been to the sales yet

3:59 am

rubyfoo

yes, the sales. I will have to go then to replenish linens and such

4:00 am

Kazzer99

its a good way to get really good bargains - especially if you go with an idera of what you are after

4:01 am

rubyfoo

but dealing with parking and people -- aaarghhh!

4:01 am

rubyfoo

do you have any n words?

4:02 am

Kazzer99

yes - ni 4/5, ni 5/12 ni 4/4

4:03 am

Kazzer99

i dont drive so i usually go with my friend

4:04 am

rubyfoo

bewildered by the n's, otherwise 123 words, but no 8's

4:05 am

Kazzer99

the last one means nothing plural, the first 2 rhyme with si 4/5

4:05 am

rubyfoo

nied

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I got two of them, thank you

4:05 am

Kazzer99

4:06 am

rubyfoo

4:06 am

Kazzer99

4:06 am

rubyfoo

4:07 am

Kazzer99

thats always nice to see family. We had a lovely time in Wales. We managed a bit of a walk up theMiners track on Snowdon

7:13 am

Glantarell

7:14 am

rubyfoo

hello glant. Did you have a good time yesterday?

7:14 am

Glantarell

yes thanks ruby

7:15 am

Glantarell

good food and good company - and my dad wasn't too bad (altzheimers)

7:15 am

rubyfoo

I enjoyed our "linguistics" chat and FM actually helped me finish the grid!

7:15 am

Glantarell

brill - i finished it too

7:15 am

rubyfoo

that is only my 4th (or 5th) finish in a year and it is always FM who helps me at the end

7:16 am

Kazzer99

it nice when friends help

7:17 am

Glantarell

i learnt a few babble techniques which was helpful!

7:19 am

afternoon Glan....you on a different time lol

7:21 am

Glantarell

I am on lazy time LOL

7:21 am

rubyfoo

That is so sad, glant, and your poor mum! How old is he?

7:21 am

Kallia

:)

7:21 am

rubyfoo

lazy time = ruby time

7:21 am

Glantarell

I have millions of things I should be doing and really can't be ar**d so am playing Babble instead!

7:21 am

Glantarell

Dad is 77 and mum is 76

7:22 am

Kallia

that's my excuse too...should be taking down the decorations such as they are lol

7:22 am

Kazzer99

same here glan - i want to go to the shops but dont want to go by myself so i will babble instead

7:22 am

Glantarell

I don't know how she manages but she won't give in

7:22 am

rubyfoo

I want to keep the decorations up; husband wants to take them down, but I'm not ready

7:22 am

Kallia

sounds a bit grim Glan

7:23 am

Kallia

fed up with them now Ruby

7:23 am

Glantarell

I think it's a lot grim. I wish she'd move into sheltered housing. She's not getting a lot of help from the local services and she's 70 miles away so I can't just pop in

7:23 am

rubyfoo

they make the house look cheery as the weather is grim and very dark

7:24 am

Glantarell

Is the Qu actually used today?

7:24 am

Kallia

difficult situation for you, but she wont get the help she needs without screaming for it, while she manages they will let her

7:25 am

Kallia

don't think it is

7:25 am

rubyfoo

I think the q is there just to trment us, to make up for yesterday's "gift"

7:25 am

Kallia

I'm down to 72 left and cant see a thing now#

7:26 am

rubyfoo

siesta time, will see you later

7:26 am

Glantarell

I keep telling her that - she is too 'strong' - she has recently got somebody to 'dad sit' one morning a week - she stopped being able to leave him back in September when he started having fits. As he is never going to get better I wish he would do the other thing. At least she might have some life to enjoy afterwards. But he comes form a long line of folks who live into their 80s and 90s.

7:26 am

Kallia

bye for now Ruby

7:26 am

Glantarell

Bye ruby

7:27 am

rubyfoo

how hard for you and your mom, glant!!! I will be thinking about you

7:27 am

Kallia

it's bad enough that his live has 'gone' without taking hers too

7:27 am

Kallia

life...

7:28 am

Glantarell

That's how I feel too - when they retired she wanted to go off and see the world and he wanted to stay home and watch tv. I wish she'd left him behind and gone to see the world, because i doubt she'll manage it now.

7:28 am

rubyfoo

does he have moments when he realizes that has happened? Did you see the movie "Away from her" with Julie Christie?

7:29 am

Kallia

my husband's sister dosen't recognise her own children now ....such a cruel disease for those left behind

7:29 am

rubyfoo

I think the film shows great insight into Alzheimer's

7:29 am

Glantarell

Never seen the JC movie. He has always refused to accept there's anything wrong - he said he was 'furgetful' when we said anything at the start. Now he understands everything you say to him but he can't work out how to use any machinery or equipent

7:30 am

Glantarell

and he gets very grumpy when there is noise - but having lived alone and quietly for a few weeks now I can empathise with that LOL

7:30 am

rubyfoo

try to see the film; it is touching and very real.....

7:30 am

Glantarell

I'll see if I can find it, maybe tell my mum too.

7:31 am

godthaab

It's a great film

7:31 am

rubyfoo

our house is so quiet that when one of the dogs changes position, I can hear it. My husband, on the other hand, is deaf as a post!

the days are getting longer, fast, so sprite will be cheering up!

7:37 am

rubyfoo

December is the worst

7:37 am

sprite

I am. It is even sunny today, nothing like a winter sun to give me back hope :)
How are you all?

7:38 am

Glantarell

Sun? wassat?

7:38 am

Kallia

why am I still looking for W's when I hasve them all...dumb!

7:38 am

Kallia

Sun here too....makes such a difference

7:38 am

rubyfoo

being this far north (and you, sprite, are norther!), the diminishing light is terrible

7:38 am

sprite

it is that hot and shiny thing in the skies, that you just cannot look into. Usually hidden behind clouds and fog though.

7:39 am

rubyfoo

no sun here

7:39 am

Trifioso

good morning friends, and a happy new year to all

7:39 am

rubyfoo

lots of fog here, the air temp is colder than the lake, so the fog just sits in the valley

7:39 am

Kazzer99

no sun here either

7:39 am

Kallia

happy new year Trif

7:39 am

rubyfoo

{{trif}} Happy New Year

7:40 am

sprite

I did pretty well this year, rubyfoo. Made myself go outside every day, lots of light indoors on dark days. Lots of vitamins too. And exercise every day. It really makes a difference in depression!

7:40 am

Kallia

you are not far from me I think Kazzer...Somerset?

7:40 am

rubyfoo

For all of you, I hope that 2011 brings happy surprises and, most of all, good health!!!!

7:40 am

sprite

Trif, dear one! *hugs* and all the best for this year. May you walk in the light and dance in the moonlight ;)

7:40 am

Trifioso

sprite, my dear, I did not know you had a depression issue....but it sounds like you made great choices for yourself, and are handling it well!

7:41 am

Trifioso

I cannot recall a year I was so delighted to kick to the curb. SEE YA 2010!

7:41 am

sprite

yeah, severe depression. But climbing uphill now!

7:41 am

NonoNanette

de

7:41 am

rubyfoo

hello hello no no

7:41 am

Trifioso

that is very good to hear!

7:41 am

sprite

lol... yeah, rotten year here too. We will enjoy 2011, Trif. We will make it a good one.

7:42 am

rubyfoo

I'm not usually on at this time; now I see what I've been missing!

7:42 am

sprite

hi Nanette, busted :D
Happy NY to you too.

7:42 am

Trifioso

I suffer from spells of that myself, so have made note of your comments on exercise, which I generally loathe...

7:42 am

rubyfoo

babble meet-up half way between sprite and me.....

7:42 am

rubyfoo

me, too, trif

7:43 am

sprite

me too, Trif. Just walking is already exercise, if you use your arms while you do it. It makes your body produce good hormones. Anti depression hormones, all from nature itself :)

7:43 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

7:43 am

Trifioso

I dont know why exercise bothers me so much....I do love yoga,though. I did belong to a gym years ago, when I was flush, and when I did go I felt great.

7:43 am

sprite

that would be in Belgium then, I think, rubyfoo?

7:44 am

rubyfoo

yup

7:44 am

Trifioso

LOL sprite - I am coming on 46, so there are PLENTY of hormones to go around, at present, should anyone need to borrow....

7:44 am

sprite

yoga is great too, Trif.

7:44 am

sprite

roflollllll Trif I am 44 myself, and I know exactly what you mean!

7:45 am

Trifioso

and we have all the mod cons here at the house.....wii fit, yoga vids, jane fonda....all gathering dust

7:46 am

sprite

ah well, try and find something you do like. And if you can't, just run the stairs up and down a couple of times ;)
But I recommend walking. With my handicaps it is almost all I can do, and it works just as well as gyms or vids.

7:46 am

Trifioso

sounds like a new year's goal in there somewhere....and I do have the new puppy to walk, on days we could get outside.

7:46 am

jacq

hello everybody and happy new year

7:46 am

Trifioso

happy new year, jacq!

7:46 am

sprite

hi jacq, all the best for you and yours

7:46 am

jacq

trif the wii works my daughter lost over 2 stone (about 18lbs in total) just using the wii every other day

7:47 am

sprite

wow for her!

7:47 am

Trifioso

yes, I have heard it works great when actually us4...so far the most I seem to manage is picking up the box and looking at it. but BIG congrats to your daughter!

7:48 am

jacq

yes sprite i am so proud of her for her determination, she is the only one in the family who took so long to lose her baby weight, but pizzas and takeaways will do that

7:48 am

sprite

that should do it, Trif. Just go walk the puppy every day. That is how I started! Because the puppy can walk a little bit farther every week, you get to build it up slowly as well.

7:48 am

sprite

that is true, jacq, but so strong of her to do it!

7:49 am

Trifioso

thanks sprite. I really dont have an issue with how much I weigh, but more the fact that i am not fit. at all. lots of jiggly bits, and I am sure my heart is quite poor for someone my age

7:49 am

bichon

I lost a lot of weight when my doctor told me I had diabetes. It was diet and exercis or else

7:49 am

Ouwachita

how many words today

7:49 am

Trifioso

okay, so any other resolutions? I am aiming to eat food that has been as minimally processed as possible

7:49 am

hi all

7:50 am

jacq

mine is to enjoy every day for what it offers and to live each to the fullest and to laugh every day

7:50 am

sprite

{{{{{Trif}}}}}
Walking is the best then. My grandparents did it, every day, until far into their 80s. No injuries, no overdoing things, and studies have proven that walking is just as healthy as running, for condition and heart etc.

7:50 am

suefrad625

i like it jacq, may I use it too?

7:50 am

sprite

jacq, that rocks

7:50 am

jacq

yes you may

7:51 am

ty and to all of you too

7:51 am

May the best ye hae ivver seen be the warst ye'll ivver see (may the best you have ever seen be the worst you will ever see) for everyone new years wishes from scotland

7:51 am

suefrad625

I resolve to finish a puzzle a week, at least

7:52 am

sprite

no, no real resolutions, except to continue with the uphill progress. To keep trusting that things will improve, and that I will be whole again.

7:52 am

Trifioso

thats a good one, sue!

7:52 am

sprite

ohhhh that is a beautiful wish

7:52 am

Trifioso

I think I like new year's absolutions better - from now on, I will not beat myself up for.....

7:52 am

sprite

and happy new year to you too, Ouwachita

7:52 am

jacq

good idea trif, we women always bat ourselves up for ...

7:53 am

sprite

Trif: ... for beating yourself up. That is #1!

7:53 am

Trifioso

good plan

7:54 am

sprite

that is what I often do... getting mad at myself for beating myself up. My therapist calls it a double bind, lol.

7:54 am

jacq

lol

7:54 am

NonoNanette

good morning babblers

7:54 am

sprite

ah well, any year that starts with 'sins' at the top must become a fun year. Yes, I go to the PB. Just had to say it :)

7:54 am

jacq

i am also going to let the past go, it may have scarred me but it also made me strong and i am going to use that strength to klet go even if i cannot forgive

7:55 am

jacq

hello nanette and happy new year

7:55 am

sprite

hiya Nanette, welcome in the chog, lol. We saw you say 'de' earlier. Happy NY!

7:55 am

Trifioso

this is going to make me sound nuttier than usual, but I named the part of me that beats myself up. I call her "debbie" and when I catch myself ragging on myself I literally yell "quit it Debbie!" and then I make up other stuff for her to do, like go out side and rake leaves or something. hey, it works

7:55 am

jacq

if it works use it i say

7:55 am

sprite

3wooooot jacq. That is a great intention. I am doing ok with forgiving, at long last, and I will let go as well.

7:55 am

MollyL

Trif, sometimes having a goal helps. Like hanging something you would like to fit into in your closet, where you see it every day.

7:56 am

Anniebrook

Happy New Year dear babblers

7:56 am

jacq

happy new year Annie

7:56 am

NonoNanette

oops i must have been feverishly trying words LOL and Happy New Year to all of you

7:56 am

Trifioso

oh, i Like that molly!

7:56 am

MollyL

No Trif, that doesn't sound nutty at all. Just make sure you name the positive part of you too.

7:56 am

suefrad625

NBT!

7:56 am

jacq

wtg sue!!

7:56 am

sprite

sounds very good to me, Trif. Also, if you don't mind me preaching, tell Debbie you love her and she is a good girl.

7:57 am

Trifioso

I am also trying to adopt the idea of micro movements. if I dont have time to scour the kitchen top to bottom, at least I could do something.

7:57 am

sprite

Hi Molly, Annie!

7:57 am

Trifioso

There is definitely a part of me that I love. She is named ElizaBeth, as that is my real name.

7:57 am

sprite

good job sue!

7:58 am

sprite

Trif, that works like a charm! I had to learn the same thing. Just little steps. Breaking everything up in tiny parts and doing one of those, not all.

7:58 am

Anniebrook

Hi Sprite, hope this is a wonderful year for you

7:58 am

7:59 am

Trifioso

last week during the storm, there was about a seven hour period where I had no phone, no internet, and no tv. the kids were stuck at their dad's, and I cannot remember the last time I accomplished so much in one day. And I have thought about that a lot, since last week.

7:59 am

Trifioso

I love my laptop, and I love me some babble, god knows, but how many hours have gotten sucked away?

7:59 am

sprite

yeah, makes one think, doesn't it

7:59 am

Trifioso

it is, like all things, about the balance, in the end

8:00 am

sprite

and about self control. I can start doing something and then postponing stopping... and postponing... and before I know it I have lost hours that way.

8:00 am

Trifioso

sprite, you and I are such kindred spirits, it's almost spooky. I love to imagine the amazing friends we would be, if we lived near each other. we would be yakking it up every single day, that I know!

8:01 am

sprite

oh absolutely. And I hate the fact we are so far apart. Scotty, beam me over!

8:01 am

Trifioso

"scotty" -- that's your cue, jacq!!!

8:02 am

sprite

*grin* jacq, do you have beaming powers?

8:02 am

jacq

jacq

8:03 am

Trifioso

8:04 am

NonoNanette

it has turned drasticly colder here this morning

8:04 am

Trifioso

8:04 am

NonoNanette

8:04 am

8:38 am

pam

Hi, Mark

8:38 am

Scrabbler

She will have a few wks to get stronger then will have heart surgery. Bid decision will be where to have it. Kids in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse + Albany typically go to Univ of Rochester for the only kids' heart surgeon in those cities. But the parents may want a 2nd opinion--Boston CHildren's, Philly, Hopkins or DC.

8:39 am

pam

I am also going to try to lurk less, annie

8:39 am

Scrabbler

It will be nice to see you here more often Pam.

8:39 am

Can they travel, Scrabs, or is it a hardship? Isn't Rochester as good as Philly?

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Boston, Philly, Hopkins + DC have huge, elite children's hospitals. Her surgery will be complex. I think she will do well in Rochester, but the parents may need a 2nd opinion in order to feel comfortable.

I think the soy milk, which I am accustomed to now is probably the best for me. I actually think Half and half of any kind now tastes "heavy" but its just what you get used to.

10:28 am

carleekat

i can get you a contact name if you like crossy... research it online... she dropped 6 or 8 sizes...but the main thing is...she has no need for lipitor...

10:28 am

bojazz

no, in8

10:28 am

crosshair

half and half is not such a big deal up here..hardly even hear about it much..we just pour in whatever make our tea or coffee look proper

10:28 am

Trifioso

in 8 builds off the in7.36 previous to it. just add a plural

10:29 am

10:30 am

carleekat

i found that with this program... lots of processed foods tasted way too salty....so...that kinda killed salt...on its own

10:30 am

Trifioso

i was saying earlier, crossy, that one of my bigger new years goals this year is to eat food that has been as minimally processed as possible

10:31 am

crosshair

lol@ 3 pounds,i can gain or lose 3 pounds just by eating a meal or having a B.M lol...3 pounds

10:31 am

MollyL

Okay, this has started off as a VERY good year. My son and his wife found their cat. They are two VERY happy people.

10:31 am

crosshair

i agree there trif,too many chemicals in the diet

10:31 am

Shirlockc

that's a good goal tri, fresh fruits and veggies, or make it yourself

10:32 am

Trifioso

i want to make more foods at home. made baguettes the other day, which came out so great the fry basically inhaled them

10:32 am

crosshair

we also have one of those "100 mile" food stores now

10:32 am

carleekat

i love making my own bagels...

10:32 am

Trifioso

I will probably have some convenience foods still, like ketchup and mayo and whatever, and I am on such a strict budget I can't get as many organics as I like, but I am going to try anyway

10:32 am

Shirlockc

i just tried that the other day, bagels, so easy!

10:32 am

crosshair

mmm bagels....

10:33 am

Trifioso

I figure that at least some percentage of home made foods/miminally processed foods is better than none, right?

10:33 am

crosshair

big crunchy cheese or onion bagels....

10:33 am

Trifioso

how did you incorporate the cheese crossy? at which point?

10:33 am

crosshair

now crossy is hungry..:(

10:33 am

tabbycat

Trifoso...mayo is easy to make if you have a blender

10:34 am

Shirlockc

it

10:34 am

crosshair

trif,you use a grater and grate the sheese and sprinke it in the bagels just before they go in da oven

10:34 am

Shirlockc

most of chemicals are for preserving so don't go bad so if make and eat right away, don't store then you're good

10:34 am

Trifioso

i have made my own before, tabby, but didnt have good luck with it at all.

10:34 am

crosshair

cheese*

10:35 am

carleekat

10:35 am

Trifioso

10:35 am

Trifioso

I boil mine as well

10:35 am

Trifioso

I was so proud of myself for actually using up a jar of yeast before it pooped out. well done me!

10:37 am

carleekat

trifs....you boil the bagel.. do your egg wash..then sprinkle lots of extra old cheese on top before you bake

10:37 am

i remember when the wife was carrying our son,she was in the 7th or 8th month,but the hormones were flying and it was a dangerous time..anyways..i used to either hide in the basement where i was building our sons first crib or i would hide in the kitchen and bake 6 loaves of fresh bread per day lol

12:09 pm

car.eeyore

Touchdown Patriots!!!

12:10 pm

cosdem

lol he doesnt like me playing babble either. he says "i dont see how you can sit on that game all day"

12:10 pm

crosshair

get him hooked on it

12:11 pm

crosshair

nothing finer than a shared word game addiction

12:11 pm

cosdem

he isn't the kind to play word games. he'd rather listen to music and watch the king of queens all day

12:11 pm

crosshair

well i can understand the music,but i am not watching much t.v last few years

12:12 pm

carleekat

we are hooked on citidels right now

12:12 pm

crosshair

i think when my 2 year contract runs out with rogers,i will just get an i-pad,add a netflix to it,skype and i am all set

12:12 pm

carleekat

ok..so..can i ask a serious " carlee needs advise" question now?

12:12 pm

cosdem

12:12 pm

crosshair

12:13 pm

dfmchfhf

citadels!?

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

car.eeyore

Ho dfm!

12:13 pm

carleekat

ok..so...this one kid who was at one time best friends with my son...and has stayed here many times cus of his home situation...has apparently been kicked out

12:13 pm

car.eeyore

Good grief....*Hi!

12:14 pm

crosshair

familliar scenario...

12:14 pm

cosdem

oh dear

12:14 pm

carleekat

i KNOW the kid has dabbled in drugs..but..i also know when he is with my son...he doesnt...as my son abhors anything to do with drug use..PERIOD...

12:14 pm

redturtlehead

hello Dfm, and oh no Carlee.

12:14 pm

flosey

oh oh, carlee, I can see it coming - with 4 kids, and friends, seems we often took in a stray

12:14 pm

crosshair

you are considering letting him stay on a bit?

12:14 pm

carleekat

his mother called me this am...informing me....( usually she calls me piss drunk and curses and swears at me for taking in her son )

12:14 pm

hurshy

was he kicked out of his house because of his drug use?

12:15 pm

crosshair

you have 2 choice..well 3....

12:15 pm

carleekat

he has stayed here before...and yes she apparently found "drug stuff" what she found..no idea...

12:16 pm

crosshair

you can send him home,you can let him stay and see what develops,you can phone cas and tell them you are concered about the childs home life

12:16 pm

carleekat

like i said..the time before she called me like this...she was up one side of me..down other with every word slurred and every other word was a curse

12:16 pm

car.eeyore

Carlee...you said he used to be best friends with your son....is that no longer the case because of the drugs?

12:16 pm

carleekat

he's 20..no cas

12:16 pm

car.eeyore

{{I know...PB for me}}}

12:16 pm

flosey

aha, bridge friend now online, time for a few hands, pleasant break!

12:16 pm

carleekat

no longer case cus he works full time and my son still in school

12:17 pm

crosshair

oh he is 20....

12:17 pm

crosshair

that changes things...

12:17 pm

car.eeyore

If he works full time, he can get his own place, no?

12:17 pm

carleekat

he could..but...

12:18 pm

carleekat

if he in a home situation....he less likely to do drugs then off on own...miserable...and no one to....guide..distract...etc

12:18 pm

crosshair

well,you ladies work it out then,if you want my 2 cents worth i am here carlee

12:18 pm

car.eeyore

How would your son feel about him staying with you?

12:18 pm

hurshy

i dunno, if he has to be responsible for himself, he might eventually shape up.

12:18 pm

car.eeyore

And do you have other children?

12:18 pm

carleekat

no..i want ur input crossy...

12:19 pm

crosshair

ok here it is.....

12:19 pm

carleekat

my daughter ( 15 says...let him stay..just search his stuff when comes in...to make sure..and make rule if is here..no drugs period )

12:19 pm

carleekat

my son..still friendly....

12:20 pm

cosdem

carlee- i was kicked out of my home so I can kind of relate. I had to depend on the kindness of strangers (gay lesbian orginzation) and they found me a couple who took me in and im so grateful we still stay in touch. BUT only do what you feel is comfortable for you and your family .

12:20 pm

carleekat

this has been an on going "safe house" for him to run to when parents got too abusive for him... has stayed here longest thus far more then a month

12:21 pm

crosshair

he is 20,that means he is an adult,so the booze fueled imput of the mother means nothing..nothing at all.as a young adult he must find work,or be in a center of higher learning.i would take him in short term,providing no drugs,and he is either in college or is holding a job

12:21 pm

carleekat

his mum an alcoholic...

12:21 pm

carleekat

he is holding a job

12:22 pm

hurshy

i would help him find a place of his own, invite him over for meals sometimes... but not let him stay, esp with a 15 year old daughter.

12:22 pm

carleekat

and he has always been.."young" he might be 20 but he is 17 or 18...smart..just immature

12:22 pm

car.eeyore

I agree with Crossy...and I think regular counseling or AA-type group should be part of your agreement

12:23 pm

carleekat

( hurshy....the 15 year old..is more mature then my 18 year old..i dont worry about her....and she thinks of this kid as a brother...)

12:23 pm

crosshair

mm yes,forgot you had a 15 year old girl...

12:23 pm

carleekat

ok....if he shows up..he can stay...with parameters

12:23 pm

crosshair

lots of parameters...

12:23 pm

car.eeyore

Hurshy...I agree with you too. Good idea.

12:24 pm

hurshy

carlee, it doesn't matter how mature she is. i've done things MYSELF that i thought i would never do and was too mature for. if one cannot even predict one's own behavior, one cannot be certain about someone else's.

12:24 pm

car.eeyore

Carlee...You and your family have been through a lot lately. I think you should take him in short term, help him find a place and then continue to welcome him over for meals and such.

12:24 pm

hurshy

it's like once upon a time people probably said "oh of course we can trust our son with him, he's a priest".

12:25 pm

carleekat

she knows her head... and she'd smack down anyone who tried to entice or coerce her to do anything she was not in agreement with...and no its not like that at all... u'd have to know her...to understand... if she saw this kid do anything he shouldnt..she;d beat on him..big time...

12:26 pm

crosshair

short term 2 month max,with help on finding his own place,you say he is working.teach him money management skills

12:26 pm

redturtlehead

and if she decides she likes him or is intrigued by him...

12:26 pm

hurshy

exactly, red

12:27 pm

carleekat

nope....he's too short for her

12:27 pm

crosshair

i can see her intrigued by the wayward young man rebelling on the parents and striking out to find his own way

12:27 pm

carleekat

she's taller...

12:27 pm

hurshy

that's what they said about napoleon

12:27 pm

car.eeyore

It's a Lifetime movie in the making!

12:27 pm

redturtlehead

too short Carlee. that is ridiculous. many people marry people who initially were too short, or too smart, or not the right color...

12:28 pm

redturtlehead

In addition carlee, could your husband use this as ammo for any sort of situation?

12:29 pm

carleekat

i appreciate it hurshy... that not my concern... he has lived here before... and no...he has taken hiim in too...

12:29 pm

MollyL

Carlee, it seems you are a caretaker by nature. Just remember it's not always your job to take care of someone. Be careful with this.

12:30 pm

carleekat

you all have given me lots to consider...he has not appeared here...he may not appear...but now..mentally i have the angles covered and have lots to think about...thanks :)

12:30 pm

car.eeyore

You have my prayers and support no matter what Carlee!

12:30 pm

welki

not only mentally, carlee .. how about financially? even if he kicks in a few bucks a week, there are added expenses besides food. be careful

12:31 pm

carleekat

thanks car.ee like i said...he might not appear... i just...wanted to have a good... cross section of checks and balances and consider all options before the event may take place...just being prepared

12:32 pm

MollyL

I agree with Car, Carlee. We are your Babble Family. We've got your back.

12:33 pm

carleekat

thanks molls.. :o)

12:33 pm

carleekat

ok..back to the grid... :o)

12:33 pm

crosshair

that is the great thing about babble;)

12:34 pm

crosshair

12:34 pm

car.eeyore

dfmchfhf

rubyfoo

12:54 pm

redturtlehead

Welki can have my dog. he is sort of being a pain.

12:54 pm

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

12:56 pm

welki

don't be ridiculous, red ... you give him exactly what he needs and precisely what he's become accustomed to. he'd let you know if he needed more

12:57 pm

redturtlehead

Oh he does! He gets quite restless...especially when I spend hours running while he is at home. but he is rather used to me.

12:57 pm

welki

hah! big bird just landed on the upper lip of our window, and the cat went straight up the glass at it. this is made more impressive by knowing that the top of the window is about 5 feet high and if there'd been no glass blocking, she'd have grabbed it.

2:38 pm

jillibus

gremlin (who has since disappeared) gave a very useful hint about morewords -- type a ^ and then the letters which are missing from the grid. Copy it. Then when you go to morewords, enter the first 2 letters and a - for the number of letters needed. Hit enter and the list will be much shorter. Saves time.

2:39 pm

jillibus

Sorry -- after the -s, paste, then hit enter.

6:20 pm

6:20 pm

mine passed without incidnet or commemoration

6:20 pm

Dorens

ty peri

6:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I could never understand why people would lie about their age and say they were younger-

6:21 pm

Dorens

that is not the answer to the question owl

6:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It just opens up the possibility of someone saying- you don't look that young.

6:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, now they ar etalking about the drugs.

*Picturing Soodle crying in her pigtails when she turned 10*

If I say I'm 70, people will say I look fabulous. If I say I'm 29 they will say' what the hell happened? Run over by a bus?

6:23 pm

Dorens

ah kap, they always do... my mother passed along some mighty fine jeans... this morning my grandaughter (age 4) said i am not the oldest person she knows.... her other gramma has lots and lots of wrinkles on er face

6:23 pm

Soodle

I wouldn't go back to 29 if you paid me. Far too much angst. I embrace the wrinkles and the lines and the grey hair (well, maybe not the grey hair... L'Oreal, cos I'm worth it, kinda gal), but I earned all my wrinkles, I enjoyed myself getting them, so I celebrate them!

6:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

jeans?

6:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I actually agree, Soodle. No botox here.

6:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

after th goldrush still gives me goosebumps, doren,

6:24 pm

MollyL

*Soodle embraces her inner Crone* And that is not said in a bad way. Crones are revered by the Celts for good reason.

6:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What brand of jeans did your mother pass along?

6:24 pm

Dorens

and i agree with soodie... the age i'm at now certainly beats the insecure kid i was at 29....couldn't trade all these experiences... (and yeah, genes might have looked better there, but i'm into watching crosby stills nash and young)

6:25 pm

crossy likes a woman who has been pushed around a bit by life and has pushed back;)

Calvins Kap. Nothing gets between Dorens and her Calvins. : P

6:25 pm

Dorens

southern man??

6:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No- JEANS looked better. Genes got passed along. Or is it the other way around? Now I'm confused.

6:25 pm

Dorens

nah, they are not made for women with generous hips! never were

6:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Mom jeans.

6:25 pm

Soodle

Oi! Molly.... Less of the crone, please! A few gentle laughter lines do NOT a crone make!

6:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

don't let it get you down, it's only castles turning...

6:26 pm

Burning. Just find someone who's turning.

9:32 pm

PAV3

I believe they may have been related, but since she never ventured further than Ohio and Florida, I doubt she would notice

9:32 pm

Minveryork

An su6/24 is su plus edge of glass plus vowel KatieMcG

9:32 pm

KatieMcG

i've very lucky my sister in law is the best sister you could have. She got me a pad made out of the scripts of Grey's Anatomy for my Christmas - I don't think anyone else would have know how much I would like that

9:32 pm

balletslippers

those were much better clues than i was attempting...

9:33 pm

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

KatieMcG

stidmama

YAY jmc!

9:49 pm

jmcnrick

9:50 pm

balletslippers

hi stid! I realized I have been pro since my stats randomly appeared a week or two ago.

9:50 pm

stidmama

oh oh.. why did the shelf fall?

9:51 pm

jmcnrick

i don't know--too much stuff on it probably

9:51 pm

balletslippers

leave the shelf until the morning, jmc. It sounds like your soul needs babble and sleep more than cleaning up the office.

9:51 pm

jmcnrick

but my pocket book needs a clean office! lol

9:52 pm

stidmama

I think, given the late hour, that waiting until the morning is a good idea.

9:52 pm

jmcnrick

i guess i can make this an opportunity to toss stuff

9:52 pm

gapeach

10:02 pm

carleekat

i am taking a very positive outlook this year myself...all things good..nothing bad

10:03 pm

stidmama

hopefully. at the very least, I think I know what I can do to stay solvent even if I can't finish the program -- a nearby school district is desperate for substitute teachers, or so I hear.

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

one day at a time!

10:03 pm

stidmama

good for you carlee. I am certain you will be okay. we'll make it through!

10:03 pm

carleekat

u will finish..maybe not as soon as you would like...but you will

10:04 pm

carleekat

oh..lickety is up...who knew

10:04 pm

carleekat

we will make it through... i am thinking positive things...positive energy....

10:04 pm

stidmama

actually -- this program has no option for late finish. I either make it through or have to start from scratch elsewhere.

10:05 pm

carleekat

then...you will finish

10:05 pm

stidmama

which is okay, life has a habit of taking unexpected turns that end up better than my own plans

10:05 pm

carleekat

you ...just....will.... :o)

10:06 pm

stidmama

LOL fer shure!

10:06 pm

carleekat
