4:46 am

Flask1

does anyone else think there's an extra bo5/14?

4:47 am

Sally-catlover

Haven't got all the b's yet Flask. Do you mean extra to lickety? Or just that there is a word not accepted?

4:57 am

Flask1

extra to lickety!

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, well I haven't listed yet so sorry, but will look out for it :-)

4:59 am

FMitch

Lickety says 288 and babble says 288 so I would blame enable :)

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning FM. This is a lovely grid isn't it. So many words, I don't know where to look next.

5:02 am

FMitch

Hi there Sally! HAven't started it yet and trying to be disciplined and get work stuff done first ... famous last words.

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

I can't see how you can re6/18 :-)

5:04 am

FMitch

and failing miserable at the moment, just finished a 45 min phone call with my Godmother and have to give Mum a ring next.

lol re the re6/18

5:04 am

Sally-catlover

Just a little starter for you :-)

5:05 am

FMitch

bad bad Sally.

5:06 am

FMitch

It is a lovely sunny day here too, is it with you?

5:07 am

Sally-catlover

Fairly bright, but still incredibly wet underfoot.

5:08 am

Sally-catlover

I want to do something outside which means running a long extension lead, and I just don't fancy it over such wet ground.

5:08 am

FMitch

ditto re the wet - it poured down all day yesterday.

5:10 am

FMitch

Oh what are you wanting to do?

5:12 am

Sally-catlover

You may regret asking :-) I clean out the overnight poo from the hen house every day, but about once a month I strip it out completely and spray it. At this time of year it doesn't dry well, so I planned to take a hair dryer over. I also steam clean it when I can, so need electricity for that too. TMI!

5:13 am

FMitch

LOL funnily enough I did wonder if it was something to do with the chooks.

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

I do more housework over there than here, I can tell you. Mind you, we don't usually poo all over the floor :-))

5:14 am

FMitch

I now also have an image of you using the hair dryer to fluff up the chickens.

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

LoL, no I dry the house, not the chooks!

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

Actually, I have heard of people using a hair dryer on them, when they show them.

5:17 am

FMitch

*grin* - and on that interesting point I must be off for a while. Enjoy the grid.

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

bye for now FM.

please remember those who have fallen. tThey left angels here on earth. Chris is part of our family and he is the NJ officer we lost a month ago. Kelly was his fiancee. Today must be just horrible for her. Please pray for her and all the others.

7:28 am

JBV

thanks for the reminder, sue - I'm here in NJ and I know this story very well. I am buying myself a dozen roses today (my first valentine's day without my husband) and I will buy an extra one for Kelly...

7:29 am

suefrad625

Then I will be praying for others to find the love you had with your husband

7:29 am

MollyL

Way to go JBV! Now THAT is taking good care of yourself.

7:29 am

JBV

thanks, sue - I have 33 years of wonderful memories

7:30 am

JBV

I decided I did not want to be sad all day so the flowers will brighten things up around here....

7:30 am

suefrad625

I asked my fiancee for a rose bush. I choose life.

7:30 am

MollyL

Good decision JBV.

7:30 am

trentsnana

good morning, babblers - Happy Valentine's Day. and for those of you like JBV and Kelly - I will be thinking of you and hoping you find comfort in the good memories of your loved ones!

7:30 am

suefrad625

of course he has to plant it also

7:30 am

trentsnana

Good idea, sue

7:30 am

JBV

nice idea, sue -

7:31 am

MollyL

Sue, I have two rose bushes and I love them. Good choice.

7:31 am

suefrad625

JBV, in the Jewish, we plant trees.

7:31 am

suefrad625

I pray everyday i will have 33 years with my man

7:32 am

JBV

another good idea - when the snow starts melting around here, I will definitely think about that

7:32 am

suefrad625

you are very cherished by God to have been granted that kind of time

7:33 am

JBV

my husband designed a little garden with a birdbath and fountain and I will put something in there especially for him

7:33 am

suefrad625

I am so totally kicking ass here, I have found 3 8's and only needed help with one

7:33 am

JBV

I had to open the list when I got down to 99 left

7:33 am

suefrad625

Ahh, but JBV, put it in for YOU, as he has an amazing garden now.

7:34 am

JBV

ok, sue, will do :)

7:35 am

JBV

I just realized something weird - my mother and father had been married exactly 33 years, too, when he died

7:35 am

JBV

spiritual connection with mom, many years later (I take these as signs from above)

7:36 am

trentsnana

mine were married 32, when my mother died

7:39 am

uusue2

Morning again, all! Sue, sorry to see about the NJ police officer - I grew up in NJ so feel some connection -

7:40 am

uusue2

JBV, I love the idea of buying yourself roses! How wonderful!

7:40 am

periwinkle

hello, help with the 10 pls

7:41 am

uusue2

7:41 am

periwinkle

and don't forget Frank. He must be having a terrible time, missing dear NB

7:42 am

uusue2

Yes, of course - love and strength to Frank -

7:42 am

JBV

thanks, uusue - and yes, I will buy an extra rose for Frank, too

7:42 am

MollyL

It's the itty bitiiest Peri.

7:43 am

uusue2

also - my icon is in memory of the 5 students who were killed at NIU three years ago today - a bittersweet day all around...

7:43 am

JBV

you know who I haven't seen here lately is Jellen - anyone hear from her??

7:43 am

periwinkle

ok, Molly, found a te9 but no te10 ty

7:43 am

periwinkle

was just thinking of Jellen uesterday but saw her post on FB and she said she had a good day so guess she is ok

7:43 am

MollyL

Stick another consonant in the 9

7:44 am

JBV

ok, good, thanks Peri

7:44 am

periwinkle

I don't know where to stick it Molly :)

7:44 am

periwinkle

is there more than one te9?

7:44 am

Anniebrook

can I get the first 2 letters of the 10

7:44 am

sprite

just logging on at the right time - Jellen is very busy atm, working towards her auction. She is doing well.

7:44 am

uusue2

lol, peri, me either!

7:44 am

MollyL

Oh Lord, Peri is asking me where to stick it. After the word that means adolescent.

7:44 am

JBV

hi sprite!

7:45 am

sprite

and hi all :)
Oh Molly LOL

7:45 am

MollyL

Te Annie.

7:45 am

7:46 am

Anniebrook

I am happy to hear that Jellen is keeping busy

7:46 am

uusue2

ooh, I got it, the most of the te9

7:46 am

uusue2

and now nbs :-)

7:47 am

sprite

gratz uusue

7:47 am

periwinkle

well, that 10 is a made up word if I ever saw one, with that stupid extra consonant stuck in there

7:47 am

MollyL

The weird thing is, the root words that the two te 9's and the te 10 are based, are not accepted.

7:48 am

sprite

I tried the same thing, Molly

7:48 am

periwinkle

nbt and nbs

7:48 am

sprite

gratz periwinkle

7:48 am

uusue2

do the root words even exist in the puzzle?

7:49 am

trentsnana

I think they end in a "y"

7:49 am

uusue2

(I would end them with the sometimes vowel)

7:49 am

trentsnana

and they aren't in the grid

7:49 am

sprite

only in one spelling, not in the other one. Perhaps the other one would have been valid.

7:50 am

uusue2

anyway, I had better shower, breakfast, and get on with my day - giving exams in 3 classes today!

7:50 am

sprite

good luck uusue

7:50 am

Anniebrook

7:51 am

periwinkle

7:57 am

7:59 am

Riverdance

8:00 am

Riverdance

8:00 am

Riverdance

8:00 am

sprite

I looked up the 9 and 10 and they are kind of related to the itsy bitsy part.
Ah yes, true, Riverdance... but who cares.

8:01 am

Riverdance

this is true......

8:01 am

sprite

I guess the extra T is to emphasize how very very tiny something is.

8:01 am

I agree, FM. I have to try them out one by one, to see if they can be made from an earlier tile.

FMitch

Glad it's not just me!

Now that you say that, I agree.

Haz1558

It's also appeared here as onery. Take your pick.

9:27 am

jmcnrick

he was a thrawn old cuss?

9:28 am

MollyL

I pronounce that word differently than it's spelled. It trips me up every time.

9:28 am

Haz1558

It's Scots for stubborn, wouldn't be linked with cuss.

9:29 am

Haz1558

'He's as thrawn as get out'

9:29 am

jmcnrick

ah well i wouldn't want to miss use it

9:30 am

Haz1558

You'd be mixing your insults, no knowing what reaction you might get.

9:30 am

Nef

Haz, a stubborn old cuss is an old man who is very stubborn

9:30 am

jmcnrick

must toddle off to work bbl

9:31 am

Haz1558

Oh, I'd worked that one out, Nef, I'm just giving a Brit alternative.

9:35 am

Haz1558

Okay, I'll rephrase. Your progress is astonishing, Becca, given the ghastliness of this grid. I bow down in admiration.

9:35 am

Nef

Becca, throw a consonent in the middle of the 9 and you get the 10

9:35 am

Becca Lorum

Why, thank you Haz.

9:35 am

10:05 am

ruru has a problem with his wrist and is blaming it on tennis.

10:05 am

Haz1558

No, I'm happy with small/short. We don't have follically challenged men here either. They're bald.

10:06 am

Aloyisius

oh.. do you have a ganglion ruru?

10:06 am

crosshair

10:06 am

rururocks

10:07 am

FMitch

OK who else is giggling at that post of Aloys or is it just me?

10:07 am

Aloyisius

so did I, thanks to crossy in the PB

10:07 am

scouser

I thought ganglions were always operated on by hitting them with the family Bible?

10:07 am

Aloyisius

aww, sorry for your syndrome, heard that is mighty painful

10:07 am

rururocks

LOL

10:07 am

Aloyisius

Sorta bumps on hands or feet?

10:08 am

Aloyisius

LOL.. good one, ruru

10:08 am

scouser

Yes ru - good one indeed.

10:09 am

My age is showing - knowing all these old wives' tales.

10:09 am

10:10 am

rururocks

lump of what though?

10:10 am

Aloyisius

yes, a lump.. my mom had one on her wrist - she was an avid golfer

10:10 am

Haz1558

Best not to ask, ruru, best not to ask.

10:12 am

FMitch

Well I think we have covered that topic - what's next on the agenda today?

10:15 am

Judi

Good morning, Babblers. So, am I to understand that Ruru is growing a bear on his wrist?

10:15 am

Riverdance

absolutely FM

10:15 am

Haz1558

I don't think so, FM. They'd only start fighting with each other. Women working together aren't always great.

10:15 am

Aloyisius

howdy frogface and Judi

10:15 am

Give some women power and it's not a pretty sight.

10:15 am

Haz1558

There, how's that for letting down the sisterhood?

10:16 am

FMitch

Imagine leaving the men at home to look after the children and do the shopping and tend the fields. Actually that would be chaos!

10:16 am

10:16 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, so you think there would be catfights, Haz?

10:16 am

10:17 am

FMitch

LOL Judi

10:17 am

Aloyisius

yes, FM.. had to beg hubby NOT to do the laundry.. "wunka" method, I called it.. grab a load of dirty laundry, Wunka.. into the washer.. grab it out, Wunka into the dryer.. no matter what clothes, colors, etc.. and add bleach to everything for sanitizing of course

10:17 am

FMitch

only in your dreams crossy along with the mud or jello.

10:17 am

Judi

And the children would be scrabbling in the streets, fighting stray dogs for scraps of "gristle".

10:22 am

Haz1558

scouser, there are 41 s coming from there and with 17 from the other s it's hard to work out which words come from where.

10:23 am

Aloyisius

Vueve Cliquot isn't as good as it used to be FM

10:35 am

FMitch

Champagne has just got too pricey over here - it is not worth eh Â£ even for special occasions.

10:36 am

Silver Rocket

it's all the same to me, but my date deserves the finer things. I'm not even sure if I even like champagne.

10:36 am

FMitch

I was 11 when Mum Dad and I went to visit the vines and caves at Veuve Cliquot ruru - will never forget it.

10:36 am

the French all serve champs as an aperitif. I prefer a real drink!

10:36 am

Hi ruby!

10:36 am

hi ruby!

10:37 am

my mother used to put a sugar cube into her champagne. Is that widespread?

10:38 am

Aloyisius

bye, scouser..

10:38 am

rururocks

adding sugar to champagne is sinful

10:38 am

Aloyisius

wouldn't do it either

10:38 am

FMitch

suger cube soaked in brandy at the bottom of the glass and then top up with bubbles.

10:38 am

scouser

PS if yo put sugar-cube in champagne - for kids - it takes out a lot of the CO2 so less fizzy less inebriating. My parents used to water down wine for me.

10:38 am

Aloyisius

not healthy, lol

10:39 am

scouser

Ah but FMitch recipe is interesting

10:40 am

Aloyisius

you can learn a lot on Babble

10:40 am

rururocks

that's like putting beans in Vichycoise

10:40 am

rururocks

(sp?)

10:40 am

FMitch

It does ahve a proper cocatail name I think but I can't remember 'hic'

10:40 am

scouser

The cube speeds up the rate of giving off bubbles so swirling it round before handing to junior cuts the CO2.

10:41 am

crosshair

adding anything to champers is a sin;0

10:41 am

Haz1558

VIchyssoise, I think.

10:41 am

Aloyisius

lol FM

10:41 am

rururocks

thank you haz

10:41 am

scouser

I agree wtih crosshair - and if you have champagne it gotta be good like Lanson used to be.

10:41 am

rururocks

Lanson is still pretty good

10:41 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ruru.

10:42 am

I must go now. Bye all.

10:42 am

now crossy wants a traditional absinthe after seeing all these sugar cubes....

10:42 am

Morning all. Ahh adding a dollop of Chambord to Champagne might be sinful.. but not a sin. ;)

10:42 am

scouser

Gee - wormwood too !

10:42 am

FMitch

eeew a step too far there crossy.

10:42 am

rururocks

my wife like a dollop of Frambroise

10:43 am

rubyfoo

if that's a sin, then it was my mother's only one!!!

10:43 am

you pur the absinthe through the sugar cube into a whiskey glass half filled with branch water,then you fire the cube till it starts to caralmelize then drop it in the glass;)

10:44 am

crosshair

it is wicked lol

10:44 am

rururocks

do they still make real Absinthe?

10:44 am

rubyfoo

I think they've started again, but they limit the mount of wormwood

10:45 am

Riverdance

isnt absinthe illegal

10:45 am

FMitch

Van Gough could blame a lot on absinthe and who was the other French painter who inbibed it a lot?

10:45 am

rubyfoo

I had the real thing, a very old bottle, in 1969 in Switzerland

10:45 am

Riverdance

I have wormwood in my garden - grows like crazy

10:45 am

crosshair

and it has to be the real stuff,you know it is real if #1 it is from one of those eastern block countries and #2 if it is around 80 dollars for slightly more than a pint

10:45 am

Can't resist this: Russian recipe for booze circa 1900. Take a bucket of raw vodka, sprinkle with pepper to disperse oil off top, pour clean vodka onto raspberries in old champagne bottles, cork, rest bottles in sand. When first bottle explodes, rest are ready to drink.

10:48 am

FMitch

Glad to see your affliction hasn't affected you funny bo4

10:50 am

Where does the oil come from that needs to be disperrsed - did no one clean out the bucket first?

10:50 am

rubyfoo

oil? in vodka?

10:51 am

rubyfoo

bye scouser

10:51 am

Cheap vodka has an oil with it commonly called fusil oil. Very toxic. Hence pepper and throwing glasses into fireplaces.

Happy VD to you too, h'mm, that doesn't look right for some reason

11:35 am

uusue2

that's ok, aloy, it's the thought that counts :-)

11:35 am

Dorens

i am boycotting the day

11:35 am

uusue2

whatever the thought was...

11:36 am

Aloyisius

Valentines Day thought

11:36 am

jmcnrick

it wasn't quite that blatant, but enough that i threw myself on my pillows and wept a little

11:36 am

cgw8

Hey, all. :)

11:36 am

jmcnrick

*concerned about being wish to have VD*

11:36 am

Aloyisius

hi cgw

11:36 am

Dorens

awwww, there there j. it will get better

11:36 am

jmcnrick

hi cgw

11:36 am

uusue2

I'm sort of with you, dorens, you can see from my profile that this is not a totally happy day here; on the other hand I was happy to eat the chocolates that appeared in the office

11:36 am

cgw8

How is everyone?

11:36 am

Dorens

hellos cgw

11:37 am

Aloyisius

.. and a meat thermometer too! wow, I am overwhelmed

11:37 am

uusue2

I know, aloy, I was being tongue in cheek :-) sounds like your hubby is a winner!

11:37 am

jan

That kind of job offer has been around for a long time, for women attorneys. Sandra Day O'Connor graduated number one in her law school class at Stanford and the only jobs she was offered were as legal secretaries. Same thing for Betty Fletcher (late of teh Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.)

11:37 am

jmcnrick

most days i am sure it will but sometimes i kinda forget that and get depressed

11:38 am

jmcnrick

hmm the meat thermometer doesn't do it for me

11:38 am

jmcnrick

hi jan

11:38 am

uusue2

{{{{{{{{jmc}}}}}}}}

11:38 am

jan

Hah--I bought myself a meat thermometer as a Christmas present this year and had myhusband wrap it!

11:38 am

Aloyisius

just read the profile uusue, and I empathize.. my alma mater was Va Tech

11:38 am

jmcnrick

my first job offer out of law school was to be a paralegal for a big time labor law firm

11:38 am

jan

Hi all--just popping in between exam reviews...

11:38 am

Aloyisius

wtg, jan !

11:39 am

Dorens

i really understand j... remember until august 19 i was unemployed ... and the same thing may happen again... kind of unbalances you in many ways

11:39 am

uusue2

ah, tough times there too, aloy!

11:39 am

Aloyisius

hi jan

11:39 am

jmcnrick

but i get the added joy of telling myself how stupid i was to give up a job without another one in hand.

11:40 am

Dorens

yes, very sad, always

11:40 am

jan

He had a good excuse this year--he was quite sick awaiting heart surgery, so I did the Christmas shopping for the both of us. (Though I may do it next year too--so much easier to get what you really need...)

11:40 am

jmcnrick

but i was so happy when you got rehired!

11:40 am

hurshy

poor jmc ! that's so irksome.

11:40 am

Dorens

no j... the time was right, obviously.. and it will be ok, you know that

11:40 am

Aloyisius

horrible, uusue.. such an idyllic setting up in the mountains, seemed isolated from the "cruel cruel world".. not

11:40 am

jmcnrick

lol my husband gave me a giant jar of Noxema for our first christmas after we married

11:41 am

jan

Hang in there jmc. The legal job market is starting ot look up a bit, at least for those with expereince. (Not so good for those just graduating from school, though.)

11:41 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! the surname of three writing sisters

11:41 am

crosshair

want real fun?try giving the wife a vacuum cleaner for christmas!...ouch!

11:41 am

jmcnrick

well i gots experience! in boatloads

11:41 am

Aloyisius

you didn't really, did you crossy?

11:41 am

jmcnrick

bronte\

11:41 am

jmcnrick

bronte

11:41 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

11:42 am

uusue2

similar here, aloy - we thought we were well away from Chicago but ...

11:42 am

jmcnrick

hi crossy

11:42 am

crosshair

no,i did not,but i have seen it done....not a pretty sight

11:42 am

crosshair

howdy jmc

11:43 am

jan

Even better, crossy, is when you get your partner something that is really for you. It's referred to as a "baseball mitt" gift.

11:43 am

Aloyisius

whew, glad to hear, crossy

11:43 am

jmcnrick

i would have been surprised to find out you were that dumb crossy

11:43 am

crosshair

ahh like a fly fishing rod for my darling lool

11:43 am

jan

Yup, or like a meat thermometer would be for my husband!

11:44 am

jmcnrick

okay i must go read some legal stuff and pretend i still care about the job at hand

11:44 am

uusue2

I remember one christmas many years ago when my brother and i bought each other the same book - that was pretty awesome :-)

11:44 am

crosshair

nope she got 2 lovely cowl neck sweaters,some "poison" perfume and a night put at las scandinav spa for a full massage,facial and pedicure

11:45 am

uusue2

sounds wonderful, crossy!

11:45 am

Aloyisius

now we're talkin, crossy.. excellent choices!

11:45 am

jan

These days we're trying to give experiences rather than stuff for gifts. Two years ago I have my husband theater tickets and he gave me a guidebook and pland tickets to San Francisco for a long weekend. No worries about getting the fit or color right.

11:46 am

crosshair

very nice jan;)

11:46 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, I could give hubby a coupon book for ten opportunities to do dishes

11:46 am

jan

Sioze can be a landmine all by itself. Guess too small and you remind the recipient that s/he is not the same size as in the past. Guess too big and get clobbered.

11:47 am

crosshair

i know my wifes size down to the millimetre:)

11:47 am

Aloyisius

what a guy

11:48 am

uusue2

Really nice ideas, jan! I've read that people get more long-lasting enjoyment from experiences than from things, anyway (and it makes sense to me)

11:48 am

uusue2

oops - I will scuttle off to the PB now - any chocolates there?

11:49 am

crosshair

actually it is more of preperation,i steal a pair of her jeans,a dress and a top and get all the sizes marked down and return them before she knows

11:49 am

Aloyisius

one year we escaped Christmas.. took our kids on a cruise instead.. asked them later, well, would you make the same choice again? And they replied.. where do we go next?

11:50 am

hurshy

my sister's in-laws give the grandkids scads of christmas presents AND take the family on cruises. *jealous me*

11:52 am

Aloyisius

moola wise, we had to choose.. and it was SO great.. no sign of all the commercial hub bub on the islands we visited.. the kids learned a lot!

11:52 am

hurshy

i'm so impressed with myself for having found 40 of the 41 S's in the middle all by myself :)

11:53 am

hurshy

maybe i can find the other one too.

11:53 am

Aloyisius

wtg, hurshy

11:53 am

uusue2

wow, hurshy!!!

11:53 am

Aloyisius

down to 10, short break here.. bb to finish

11:53 am

jan

You should be, hurshy. That's impressive.

11:53 am

hurshy

the A's and B's are A Bit troublesome

11:54 am

jan

yeah, I'm convinced there's a misprint in the stats for that second column a

11:55 am

hurshy

i know, i found some that i was proud of finding and there are STILL five more from there!

11:55 am

uusue2

ok, off to administer today's 3rd test, then the grading begins. 160 of one and 200 of the other. sigh...

11:55 am

jan

That's where I'm stalled too. 11 out of 16.

11:56 am

uusue2

(each course has 2 sections, so total enrollment is 160 in one course and 200 in the other) (brain is already dead...)

11:56 am

hurshy

we MIGHT not be missing all the same ones... want to compare?

11:57 am

Angelsong

havew a "love"ly day, all. I'm off to work, and to see what adventures the rest of the day brings.

11:58 am

hurshy

i have: ab7, ae4 (all the ai's are from the other A), ar5, 6, 4, 5, 5, 4, 4, 6, 5 (as5 from the other A)

11:58 am

hurshy

oooh i just saw ab5 and 6!

11:58 am

jan

11:58 am

hurshy

hurshy

11:59 am

hurshy

talk therapy works even in babble.

11:59 am

hurshy

one more from each A now, that's so much better.

11:59 am

jan

I thnk I don't have any you don't...

12:01 pm

hurshy

well not NOW - but you did before :)

12:01 pm

jan

OK so no misprint then; still missing one though.

12:02 pm

hurshy

one from each A, yes.

12:06 pm

hurshy

all 33 of the middle T's and all 6 of the bottom T's - only 2 T's left!

12:08 pm

hurshy

i can't see why we can't say that that turkey is br****ier than the one we had last thanksgiving.

12:08 pm

jmcnrick

i am br****ier than i used to be

12:08 pm

jmcnrick

;-)

12:08 pm

hurshy

but you're not a turkey :)

12:08 pm

hurshy

well, i'm off to lunch... be back later!

12:08 pm

Aloyisius

12:52 pm

ch1212

12:54 pm

bichon

I need a break too, but I only have 107 words! I'm going to walk the fluffs

12:54 pm

ch1212

that's odd... why is the word for 'more dolly parton like' not accepted? mmm...

12:57 pm

bethn

i know ch, when i turned 39+1, the hooter fairy visited one nite while i was asleep, and i woke up and couldnt understand what was weighing my chest down, i was suddenly br****ier. it must have been gradual, but omg it seems like i went from not so big to holy crap what are those and where did they come from

12:58 pm

ch1212

LOL!! Ditto, bethn, but for me, it was more like in 6th or 7th grade!

12:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's one of those "be careful what you wish for " deals- did I know when I was a flatchested 17 year old that I'd be dragging these things around with me?

12:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

D???????????

12:59 pm

ch1212

No, Kaplan, more like DD ... :D

12:59 pm

bethn

nope, 6th & 7th grade i looked like a boy, most of high school i looked like jr bra model. even when i was pregnant they didnt get big, but middle age when i dont want em , woop there they are

12:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

D is enough for me. I'm not a big person.

1:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It reminds me of those Margaret Dumont type dowagers from the Marx Bros.

1:00 pm

ch1212

My nickname (not happy about it either) in high school was dolly. Then a miracle happened --- I had a baby, breast-fed, and when I stopped, I had lost several inches and cup sizes! People actually asked if I had reduction surgery, and this was back in 1976!

1:01 pm

bethn

the only up? side is because they appeared so late, they are relatively perky if something so big can be called perky ;(

1:02 pm

ch1212

I was delighted, and did not learn until later that for most women, breast feeding makes them even bigger.

Bethn, if they are perky, then ... you go girl! :)

1:02 pm

Nef

Hi again. Intersting topic! ;-)

1:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Can we change the subject please?

1:02 pm

ch1212

LOL -- gladly, Kaplan. Yes, let's do. Anyone see Lady Gaga incubating and dilating last night? I am quoting the terms used on tv.

1:03 pm

Nef

ch, I don't have the answer to this question; but I've always wondered why some women losse cup sizes when they br**** feed and others don't?

1:03 pm

sammysmom

help please, still need the te 9/54 and 10/70 that apparently go together...

1:03 pm

I'm at work (lunching at my desk) so nobody has to be patient :-)

1:18 pm

Nef

I really can't see how either that F or B can start so many words! I've got 11 of each and am blind (BTW, I hit half way; DH isn't aware of that yet!) ;-)

1:19 pm

uusue2

I won't tell :-) I'm at 17 for the f and 15 for the b

the bit te,s are hard to find cause they are very small..as a matter of fact,they are the smallest

1:31 pm

uusue2

one of them is the way the 10 probably ought to be spelled; the other is the comparative rather than the superlative

1:31 pm

3:15 pm

hi all

3:15 pm

I want to shre an experience I had in the dressing room at Target.

3:15 pm

uusue2

Hi, peri!

3:15 pm

uusue2

umm, you do?

3:15 pm

gapeach

Hi there, uusue2.

3:15 pm

stidmama

:-D Thanks Peach. Just reflecting how frustrating it is that my office turned into a storage room which means that all the materials I have actually stored in there are either blocked or moved (so hidden); rendering any time spent looking for things I know I have fruitless, and making it expensive to keep purchasing things I know I have... and no time to change things until summer.

3:15 pm

stidmama

hey peri!

3:16 pm

stidmama

what a lovely thing, sue! congratulations to the whole family!

3:16 pm

lilliann

congrats sue and family!

3:16 pm

periwinkle

I was trying on one of those stretchy garments, i.e. spanx, but another name. OMG what a struggle. anyone who know me know that I am tall and thin but after looking at the garments I chose a Med. camisole. I managed to get it on but was stuck in it for a while and alsmot had to call a sales clerk to get me out of it. I managed by msyelf :)

3:17 pm

gapeach

Congrats, Sue.

3:17 pm

stidmama

oh peri! *gasp*

3:17 pm

cosdem

oh dear the lady who won best new artist and beat bieber is getting death threats from bieber fans

3:17 pm

uusue2

My dad is happy too - his third great-grandson! And it sounds like my stepmom is getting some help, so things are looking up there too.

3:17 pm

periwinkle

I Large size was almost as difficult so I gave up. The sizes need to be adjusted. the med. said for those who wear 8-10 but it did not work

3:18 pm

Judi

*giggles at Peri* Kind of like putting your head through the sleeve instead of the turtleneck. *Snort* Sorry.

3:18 pm

lilliann

lol, peri but those things are never the size they say!

3:18 pm

gapeach

Bless your heart, peri, that had to be awful!

3:18 pm

stidmama

you sure you were looking in the ladies section peri??? I wear a small to medium in most things (and I am NOT thin)

3:18 pm

uusue2

Nice to know, peri :-) I am nowhere near large, even (bigger than that) so I will stay away from those!!! lol!!!

3:18 pm

stidmama

more excellent news, sue ((hugs)) so pleased.

3:18 pm

periwinkle

ha ha, that is ok, would like to see you ladies trying on some of those garments. Yes I was in the ladies section.

3:19 pm

periwinkle

congrats ususue.

3:19 pm

Judi

I think Spanx and such are supposed to MAKE you a size smaller. I've never even attempted. Knowing my luck, I'd throw my back out again.

3:19 pm

stidmama

down to 100!!!! *dancing dancing*

3:19 pm

uusue2

And I am eating chocolate. Life is good :-)

3:19 pm

periwinkle

Maybe the spanx brand would be better to try even tho more expensive. I am not happy about the rolll that has taken up residence around my mid section. and it is not a california roll :)

3:20 pm

lilliann

is spanx an american brand?

3:20 pm

periwinkle

they are hard to put on but even harder to take off

3:20 pm

periwinkle

yes lill

3:20 pm

periwinkle

but they probably have someething similar across the pond

3:20 pm

lynxxx

Peri, from what I heard the first time is the worst time - they take your shape some what after that

3:20 pm

stidmama

Going to go play with 6th graders' minds again -- they are so wonderful to work with. See you-all another time. Probably not tonight, I have more to pull together before class tomorrow. *poof*

3:20 pm

uusue2

hmmmm - wouldn't that be a problem if you had to, like, use the bathroom???

3:21 pm

periwinkle

oh, but I could still see the roll, only it did not shake

3:21 pm

lynxxx

morning everyone

3:21 pm

uusue2

Bye, stid!

3:21 pm

periwinkle

not with a camisole, uusue, but with the panties, OMG that would be a major problem for me

3:21 pm

lilliann

i've tried on tops like that too peri, where they say a size 10 brit and i get them stuck on my boobs and the bairn as had to help me get them off, and i'm not big boobed!!lol

3:21 pm

Kazzer99

hi lynn

3:22 pm

3:22 pm

lilliann

luckily enough she is a girl judi, so not so bad :)

3:24 pm

Kazzer99

clothes are weird tho - cos being rather fat i need a size 32 in Evans (fat womens clothes shop) but in Sainsbury supermarket i can get into their size 22s

3:24 pm

lilliann

atleast it didn't shake peri!i've bought slimming knickers, camisoles and i still look the same shape that i did before i put them on so don't bother now

3:25 pm

periwinkle

it is frustrating tho

3:25 pm

periwinkle

I looked the same shape too lil, only the roll did not shake. rather disapointing

3:26 pm

uusue2

3:26 pm

lilliann

i had a weimeraner when i was first married and he use to jump over a 5ft fence on a sunday night after the foxes. we lived ontop of a cliff and could see france on a clear day, and he would chase them and ex hubby would get upset and drive around looking and i would tell him, he'll come home when he's ready, every time he did, but if ex hubby hadn't let him out in the 1st time on a aunday night knowing that he would chase them, it would never have had happened!!

5:25 pm

jmcnrick

just mentioning mercurochrome makes me smell it

5:25 pm

stidmama

I use something called newskin (I think that's the name) -- basically superglue I think. stings at first, but then protects against water

5:25 pm

jillibus

At least mercurochrome didn't sting like iodine

5:25 pm

ChampFit

had no clue seaspray. thanks!

5:25 pm

Good Enough

OMG is my father here?!! He is the king of mercurochrome!

5:56 pm

Uneaixoise

Her 9-hour adventure has come to an end :-)

5:56 pm

ChampFit

yes, but what's worse than having to have a baby? Peer pressure is one thing...24/7 baby duty is another.

5:56 pm

lilliann

not yet brookie, she doesn't even think about it...hopefully! i'm just worried when dhe goes to high school this summer...that's when the pressure will start!!

5:58 pm

Lilli, a lot of it has to do with the friends she hangs around with. And you can have a say in that.

5:58 pm

Uneaixoise

i could see her out the window most of the time :-)

5:58 pm

Uneaixoise

tx jmc LOL

5:58 pm

ChampFit

Une...I have one that does the same. My friend the dog whisperer, told me it's because she's horny. She was a stray, and I haven't had her spayed yet!

lilliann

the friends she has now are lovely and the same as her but some of the girls in her class are different!! and as we all know as we were all children te%'s ourselves, it doesn't matter how many times your parents tell you not too you will still do it...i did, because they told me not too!!

lilliann and I had discussed my dog earlier and I just wanted her to know the prodigal got nabbed :-)

6:02 pm

ChampFit

Lillian...take it a step further. What would actually happen if she were to get pregnant? TELL HER. Let her know what the consequence would be.

6:04 pm

lilliann

i have but she's only 11 so she doesn't understand...she likes to pleay with her dolls and dress them up

6:04 pm

lilliann

what's her name une?

6:04 pm

ChampFit

then don't worry...just keep talking about it. She'll listen...

6:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Help her talk about her goals for herself and what she wants her life to be, and the things she needs to have her goals happen. For instance, she wants to be a dancer, or a professor or an athlete. Then you talk about all the things that she needs to get there. And how some things (like getting pregnant) would derail her. Try to keep it in the positive- how she wants her future to be,

6:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Goals and values. Talk with her -in her language- about what her values are.

6:06 pm

lilliann

she has changed her mind so many times over the last few months kap about what she wants to do with her life as all 11 year olds do so i don't know what it will be next week!

6:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You may pay the receptionist on the way out and schedule your next appointment.

6:07 pm

SeaSpray

lillian my daughter always said she wanted to drive a school bus and work at southern states. she has her bachelors in nursing...so I totally understand

It's not specifically what she is going to be- it's more about values- does she have an idea of being someone who travels a lot, or helps people, or whatever- it doesn't matter if she is fantasizing- it's more to get her to think constructively about her potential

I am tired, elder stidkid deliberately ran the laundry basket into the dog when the dog was hoping to be played with -- stidkid wanted to watch the TV with us. Not sure what else to try to get this kid to back off and be more gentle when there is something in the way of his immediate objective.

deliberately? :o(

9:54 pm

stidmama

It's worrisome to me because it is a long-term issue and not likely ever to change. All I can hope is that when the kid moves out (in a few months to a year or less) that there won't be critters around.

9:54 pm

I stopped grounding mine and started taking away technology

9:55 pm

that's a good idea, crystalle. Might resort to that.

Nice to see you Jacula. I am researching Scotland a little for a possible trip in the spring or fall. I want to miss the royal wedding, any major soccer matches, and the Olympics. There is a small window of opportunity for me.

stidgmere

Thank you Jacula I'll keep that in mind when we are firming up our plans.

Jacula

No pain, just mre bloody hot flashes, and the fact that my bank account is in the red.

10:19 pm

stidgmere

Dentists tend to make bank accounts that color. I had a root canal last year. Good lord, it could have been the Suez canal for the expense.
