12:24 am

flosey

oh boy, you do have your hands full - I understand

12:24 am

jillibus

wow -- that's quite a spread of kids, crys!

12:26 am

flosey

my 4 were born between 1963 and 1968 - a handful but they also amused each other

12:26 am

flosey

aha, have nbt but no 8s or 9

12:26 am

jillibus

I only had one so have nothing to say

12:26 am

crystalle

Thats because I was too young when I had the first one so I needed to put off having more until I grew up a bit (also babies are hard work and wsnt ready to go down that road again). We were going to stop at 2 because we had the girl and boy but nature had other plans.

12:27 am

jillibus

I have 5 words, haha

12:27 am

flosey

hubby started while I was looking for icon

12:28 am

flosey

Crys, I had mine close because I was older and we both wanted 4 children

12:29 am

flosey

having a first at 31 was considered old in 1963

12:29 am

2:15 am

flosey

should get him to open his own account! then we'd have a competition

2:16 am

jillibus

well, I'm not all there tonight

2:17 am

flosey

but the happy hour is such a nice idea

2:17 am

jillibus

it was fun as usual

2:18 am

flosey

we keep saying that we'll get the neighbours in for a dinner and chance to meet each other - lol, still to come!

2:19 am

flosey

I appreciate having neighbours nearby now - didn't have any for so many years

2:19 am

jillibus

well, it's easier when it's just a pre-dinner get-together

2:20 am

flosey

oh yes

2:20 am

jillibus

no heavy obligations that way

2:20 am

flosey

now, if I screamed, someone might even hear me

2:21 am

jillibus

well, I was almost alone here for quite a while, amazingly

2:21 am

flosey

true, we really don't want to start anything, just a case of getting to know them all

2:23 am

flosey

they're all younger, two of the couples have young children

2:23 am

sugar

sads

2:24 am

flosey

hi sugar

2:24 am

sugar

hi flosey, lurking......

2:25 am

jillibus

well, I was lucky in that my present neighbours are not that young -- next door are my son's age with grown kids and the round-the-corners are between them and me in age, also grown kids

2:26 am

jillibus

hi sugar -- I'm not here, as you can see -- went *poof* a while ago but I guess i lied ;-)

2:27 am

sugar

Glad I'm not the only one, lol

2:28 am

jillibus

where in the UK are you, sugar?

2:28 am

sugar

Peterborough, East Anglia

2:29 am

jillibus

There's a Peterborough in Ontario too.

2:31 am

sugar

Both are probably the same temperature (as in chilly)! I'm from South Africa, so usd to much higher temps!

2:32 am

flosey

right now it is still chilly, summers are lovely though

2:32 am

jillibus

I think the Ontario one is chillier

2:32 am

flosey

yes, I would expect so

2:34 am

sugar

Spring is on its way here, just had a super week of higher temps which means I spend more time out walking with my dog

2:34 am

jillibus

I grew up in Shanghai and recently checked the latitude to find it is the same as Jacksonville, Florida, so no wonder I find this climate too cool in the summer and even though it's warmer than most of Canada in the winter, it's colder for me than for many of my fellow residents.

2:35 am

jillibus

we've had so much rain here and grey days -- sun is a joyful rarity

2:36 am

sugar

Exactly jili, I think our bodies never forget all that glorious sunshine and warmth!!!!

2:37 am

jillibus

you'd think I'd be used to this climate after decades, but noooo

2:38 am

jillibus

how long have you been away from South Africa?

2:38 am

sugar

4 years

2:39 am

jillibus

oh -- not long at all!

2:40 am

sugar

No, still get homesick at times, but there's lots about UK that I like

2:40 am

jillibus

I left Shanghai in 1939! But lived in NYC (hot summers, mildish winters) for many years.

2:41 am

jillibus

WE have ursh here in Babble, from South Africa -- have you met?

2:41 am

sugar

No hope for me then, with regards to adapting to the cooler climes!

2:42 am

jillibus

Your body may not be as stubborn as mine, sugar!

2:43 am

sugar

Yes we have met, I've been babbling for a few years, but I don't chat as much as I used to

2:44 am

sugar

lol jili, I bet it is!

2:44 am

jillibus

I think there's another S. Africn

2:45 am

jillibus

..babbler too -- can't remember the name (sorry, finger hit Enter at the wrong time)

2:45 am

sugar

We do tend to creep in everywhere.....bit like the Aussies

2:45 am

flosey

down to 8 but too tired, off to bed, goodnight jilli and sugar

2:45 am

flosey

see you tomorrow jilli

2:46 am

jillibus

we had several really nice S. African doctors here but they've all left our island

2:46 am

sugar

night flosey, sleep well

2:46 am

jillibus

g'night flosey -- a demain

2:46 am

flosey

Dr. C is from S.Africa, jilli - originally English

2:46 am

sugar

Probably couldn't take the cold jili

2:48 am

jillibus

Dr C? The ones I meant haven't left for warmer climes -- just went off island.

2:49 am

jillibus

sugar, the climate here isn't all that cold -- very much like the southern UK, unlike most of Canada

2:49 am

flosey

Crichton

2:49 am

flosey

I can't take Toronto summers anymore!

2:49 am

jillibus

Oh -- I hear he's great, but not taking new patients, boohoo.

2:50 am

flosey

yes, tried to get my young friend in, but no!

2:50 am

jillibus

I LOVE our few really warm summer days

2:51 am

jillibus

because I know how to behave in the heat

2:51 am

flosey

lol, swimming, you mean?

2:51 am

sugar

Oh, okay - I tend to think of Canada as being covered in snow for most of the year, I obviously need to broaden my knowledge, I'll come on a visit when I win the lottery!!!!

2:52 am

jillibus

that, and other ways

2:52 am

jillibus

you'd be most welcome, sugar!

2:53 am

sugar

Thanks jili !

2:53 am

flosey

well, goodnight now, for sure!

2:53 am

jillibus

Goodnight again, flosey, lol!

2:54 am

sugar

Hah, that's what you said last time flosey - goodnight again!

2:54 am

jillibus

well, it's fun having a nice quiet chat with good people

2:54 am

jillibus

while we find words

2:56 am

sugar

Time for me to take a walk with my girl, there's a lot of sighing and pleading looks going on, great talking to you jili and flosey, see you next time, maybe

2:57 am

jillibus

your girl? Great to have met you, sugar -- hope to do so again -- have a lovely walk.

2:58 am

sugar

2:59 am

Bard is fine :)

I don't think I like this puzzle very much

good morning all

7:35 am

Hi Scrabs, Hi JBV

Hello lynxxx. Buon giorno, J.

No, kje is "on service" with med students and residents at her hospital and it is a challenging month of patient care and teaching.

7:36 am

Scrabbler

I haven't been here since Monday--I've been so busy.

7:36 am

JBV

hi, it's early for me - my daily paper was not delivered this morning, so my routine is a little off

7:36 am

kje

down to 10... trying to fiish before work

7:37 am

Scrabbler

I go crazy when that happens, J. I need my routines intact.

7:37 am

JBV

I do not like to fall into a rut, but my morning coffee and paper is a time I enjoy

7:37 am

MollyL

It's so nice to hear that people still read the newspaper.

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Me too, J. If my paper hasn't arrived, or is buried in a snowbank (our papers get tossed at the end of our driveways), I go on our paper's web site.

7:38 am

JBV

Oh, I do, Molly - international, national and local (no sports) -

7:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

Routines! My morning routine...check my e-mail, babble till 8 AM, then have coffee and a bran muffin and read the paper. clean up and/or babble until it's time for the gym--(I work later)--what would we babblers do without our OCD schedules?

7:38 am

Scrabbler

I've got my paper in my lap.

7:38 am

MollyL

There is so much more to print news than you get on the internet.

7:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm so much fun to live with.

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Kaplan. I am a planner and when my plans are disrupted I get agitated.

7:39 am

JBV

well I've had so many big changes in my life this year, the comfort of routines is good for me

7:39 am

MollyL

I hear you JBV.

7:40 am

tceicher

7:40 am

Scrabbler

One of my friends laughs at me, because when we walk I must plan where we will cross the street even.

7:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have to get to the movies early so I can get choose my seat. If I get there and the credits are already rolling, it's too late.

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Routines help us maintain a sense of control.

7:40 am

JBV

a friend of ours just published a book based on his newspaper reporting last year - fascinating for anyone who has a mind for white-collar crime - but as I'm reading I realize that most of this was in the paper......

7:41 am

Scrabbler

tceicher, you have been stuttering a bit. Out with it.

7:41 am

tceicher

t

7:41 am

JBV

I don't think I'm like you in that, scrabbler, or Kap

7:42 am

kje

DW!!!

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Haha, JBV, then you aren't as pathologically OCD as us.

7:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

Thank you, scrabb.

7:42 am

JBV

I had an experience as a young mom that opened my eyes to how people are affected by self-imposed guidelines - I had an opportunity to see a good high school friend who was in town for the weekend,

7:42 am

kje

I am not routie drive... the exact opposite actually (at least outside of work)

7:42 am

Scrabbler

kje, is that the same as fireworks?

7:43 am

JBV

but she couldn't see me because it would interfere with her baby's nap (3 months old)

7:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't say I was healthy.

7:43 am

kje

LOL!

7:43 am

kje

yes

7:43 am

kje

direworks

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Congrats kje!

7:44 am

kje

ok. off to shower ad get to work - hagd all

7:44 am

Scrabbler

Direworks = needing to find 50 words when flip time is 10 minutes away.

7:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

New parents are all a little bit insane.

7:44 am

lynxxx

Congrats & Bye kje

7:44 am

JBV

I also had a 3-month old at the time and couldn't understand why someone could not just pick up a baby and take it anywhere

7:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

This is true, JBV.

7:45 am

Scrabbler

I am not rigid, it's just that I get a bit irritable and anxious when my routine is altered. One of my friends is nearly manic and is totally spontaneous, always changing plans, so we laugh about each other's behavior.

7:45 am

tceicher

s

7:46 am

JBV

you must be quite a team, scrabs :)

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Yes, at that age it is easy to carry the baby around.

7:46 am

Scrabbler

There can be some tension, J!

7:47 am

JBV

I have a sister-in-law who's like your friend - it does raise the blood pressure a bit, but I can easily say no

7:47 am

Scrabbler

I always have to review the next day's plans with her--first we do ___, then ____, then ____.

7:47 am

JBV

When I flew out to Santa Fe one year to spend time with them, she met me at the airport with tickets to the Santa Fe OPera for that very evening

7:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

My spouse used to be the typewho would get to the airport when the plane was already boarding, and run like hell.

7:48 am

JBV

I would have like to just to home and take my shoes off

7:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

You can't do that nowadays, anyway. They have to inspect your socks and take away your water bottle while they are scanning your body.

7:48 am

Scrabbler

I avoid movies, concerts and plays because I get overstimulated. My brain cannot handle those types of things--I cannot sleep afterward.

7:48 am

JBV

If she has a layover of more than an hour, she's figuring out what she can do - visit a museum, have lunch with a friend !!!! - I'd sit down and read a book

7:49 am

Scrabbler

I am going to fly in June (hiking trip in Bryce Canyon, Zion Natl Park and the Grand Canyon) and am already anxious.

7:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

I actually can't plan ahead- it makes me anxious when someone asks me to commit to dinner next week. And I can't overstimulate my brain after 8 PM- but I can watch movies. Just can't have arguements,

7:50 am

JBV

I totally get it, scrabs, but planning ahead does ease the anxiety, right?

7:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

Other than that, I am completely normal.

7:50 am

Scrabbler

My manic friend cannot sit still to play cards, play a board game, do a jigsaw puzzle. She is always moving.

7:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

Committing to the plan is hard.

7:50 am

JBV

I get that too, Kap

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Kaplan, I am like that too. I must plan my plans carefully.

7:51 am

hydra

Kaplan, I am exactly the same. Planning ahead makes me really anxious, yet I can do things on the spur of the moment. Booking flights is a nightmare, yet I was fine when you could just go to the airport and get a stand-by flight.

7:51 am

hydra

Hi everyone.

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Hi hydra

7:51 am

lynxxx

hi Hydra

7:51 am

JBV

my husband used to say I worried too much (when planning trips) but I say anyone who doesn't think of every eventuality just doesn't have enough imagination - I prefer to be prepared

7:51 am

Scrabbler

I could never do that, lynxxx.

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Me too, J.

7:52 am

hydra

I agree, JBV

7:52 am

lynxxx

Oops it has gotten late again. Goodnight all

7:52 am

hydra

Night lynxxx

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Sleep well, lynxxx. I just woke up after a nice slumber.

7:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't, however, need to finish my babble grids. Some of you may think that irresponsible and hedonistic.

7:53 am

hydra

Just remembered I have to go out. See you later!

7:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

But you gotta go wild somewhere!

7:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

Life on the edge- not finishing grids.

7:53 am

JBV

actually, scrabs, I'm thinking about that now -about how I'd like to go to Italy but I feel absolutely at a loss about travel to Europe, I need to get a lot of information

7:54 am

JBV

I have a passport. Step 1 - check

7:54 am

tceicher

de

7:54 am

JBV

but what about money, phones, driver's license - don't have a clue

7:54 am

Scrabbler

This was yesterday's non-plan for me. My car needed an inspection ($21 but less with coupon) and a new motor for rear-wiper (I didn't know how much that would be but I decided it was a necessity), and the total bill was $1002--brakes, motor, etc. And I trust this car mechanic too.

7:55 am

JBV

oh dear

7:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

Tceicher- speak up!

7:55 am

JBV

I hate when that happens

7:55 am

Scrabbler

I no longer finish grids unless they are smaller, Kaplan.

7:55 am

JBV

on the other hand, I think most people who know me think I roll with the punches pretty well - did I tell you I had to replace my heating/cooling system, scrabs - $8000!!

7:56 am

Scrabbler

J, if/when I go to Italy I would have to be with a tour group. I will need someone else to plan everything.

7:56 am

sprite

good afternoon all

7:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

spouse plans everything. I just go along for the ride.

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, J! I got a new furnace maybe 6 yrs ago---$6000. I did not have AC installed. Being in the woods is nice--even if it is hot during the day it cools down a lot overnight.

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sprite

7:57 am

JBV

I missed my husband a lot during that H/AC episode - he usually handled contractors and stuff like that, but I did it and it's done

7:57 am

JBV

hi sprite!

7:58 am

Scrabbler

And arent you proud of yourself, J?

7:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

This is where I realize I take spouse for granted.

7:58 am

JBV

I always did all our vacation planning - tickets, hotels, car, itinerary, - the only thing he did was pack his own bag, I drew the line

7:59 am

JBV

Kap, every day I think of reasons to miss him - it's good to remind yourself once in a while....

7:59 am

Scrabbler

absolutely, J!

7:59 am

JBV

yesterday in the supermarket I was behind a lady who was complaining that when she shops with her husband, they always spend more money (I was thinking I would gladly spend more if only...)

7:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

I here you, JBV.

8:00 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hear.

8:00 am

JBV

yes, scrabs, proud of myself for a few things lately - I also handled the entire estate thing without a lawyer

8:01 am

MollyL

JBV, I had to replace my heating and air conditioning system this year too. I know what you mean about feeling "spouse-less" when things like that happen.

8:01 am

JBV

I have to mention my darling brother-in-law, though, who was here to support me - by the way, they LOVED the lobsters I sent (for anyone who remembers the story)

8:01 am

Kaplan the Magne

If I die first, he will drown in a sea of old newspapers and unfolded laundry, and if he goes first, I will have to check the oil in the car.

8:02 am

JBV

or get someone to do it for you Kap :)

8:02 am

MollyL

Oh yum, I remember the story. Good on your brother in law for lending a hand.

8:03 am

MollyL

Kap, Jiffy Lube every 5000 miles is a single woman's friend.

8:03 am

JBV

amen, Molly

8:04 am

Scrabbler

I depend on my father for advice about big repairs and purchases. He loves to do the research and comparisons of products and costs. He will be 80 in 6 wks.

8:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

Not even going there, molly.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Ruru would, Kap!!!

8:06 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabbler! iwas ust thinking about you last night!

8:06 am

Kaplan the Magne

Will someone please wash out my mind with soap?

8:06 am

JBV

(Molly's going back to reread her comment....)

8:06 am

Scrabbler

Hi Owl! How have you been?

8:06 am

JBV

hi TO

8:06 am

sprite

hi TOwl

8:06 am

MollyL

I'm really getting dotty. "I" didn't even go there. And that is usually the first place I go. Pass my cane please.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

Kaplan, many terms are loaded with double-meanings.

8:07 am

Kaplan the Magne

Don't I know it!!!

8:07 am

72 Temple Owl

hi all. i am ok and you?

8:07 am

MollyL

At least I didn't mention anything battery operated.
: P

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Waking up, doing my morning routine--tea, newspaper and Babble.

8:07 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am just starting to drag the chog down several levels, so I am going to go get dressed and come back later.

8:08 am

sprite

battery operated lube? Gad am I behind things

8:08 am

JBV

thanks for the laugh, Kap - have a good day

8:08 am

MollyL

Okay, I will wait for you, here in the gutter.

8:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

:)

8:09 am

MollyL

I find these comments particularly amusing paired with the old lady icons. : P

8:09 am

sprite

*grins*

8:10 am

MollyL

Especially yours, Ms. Supreme Court Justice. : D

8:10 am

sprite

I don't know enough about her to venture an opinion whether she'd be amused or shocked :)

8:11 am

MollyL

Oh she had to carve her place in a man's world. I'd guess she'd be amused.

8:12 am

sprite

I think so too! She wouldn't have survived without a wicked sense of humour, I think.

8:15 am

sprite

omg I found a compound biggie combo all by myself! Yay me.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

I found one 7 but no other biggies.

8:16 am

MollyL

Yay Sprite! I found it by myself this morning too. Hooray for little proud moments.

8:16 am

sprite

amen to that :)

8:17 am

MollyL

And I found that faster than that buggery little H in the last column. Which looks so obvious to me now that I want to conk myself over the head with a tuna.

8:17 am

sprite

you will, Scrabs :)

8:18 am

sprite

*saves the tuna and makes a salad*

8:19 am

Aloyisius

Happy Saturday, Babblers

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

have 119 and now having to really look hard

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Hi Aloy

8:19 am

sprite

hey Aloy!

8:19 am

Scrabbler

I am up to 80 but am mostly reading the newspaper and thinking about breakfast.

8:20 am

72 Temple Owl

hello aloy

8:20 am

Aloyisius

sipping first cuppa here, thinking miniwheats for breakfast

8:20 am

72 Temple Owl

i need to get to costco before it opens to the public but not likely

8:21 am

Aloyisius

wish we had a costco near us.. went to Sam's Club yesterday

8:21 am

Scrabbler

How do you get in before the public?

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Do members get earlier access?

8:22 am

Aloyisius

businesses do

8:22 am

JBV

hi Aloy - I love Mini-WHeats

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

have a business card

8:23 am

Aloyisius

with or without milk, the frosted ones

8:23 am

Aloyisius

slice some banana in the bowl

8:23 am

JBV

no frosted, here, I'm counting points - but I just tried almond "milk" - very nice with cereal

8:23 am

Scrabbler

I will have Greek yogurt mixed with something--fruit and cereal.

8:24 am

sprite

my daughter is making me brunch. I am having a bad day, hubby is tearing down the garden fence because the neighbour's renovation is starting on Monday... am fighting panic attacks he4.

8:24 am

Aloyisius

ooh, love Greek yogurt.. bit expensive tho; is there a brand you prefer, Scrabs?

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Why does your own fence have to come down?

8:25 am

Aloyisius

what the heck is your neighbor doing ?

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

oh sprite, they are tough

8:25 am

sprite

because the builders need to have access. They are going to... what is the word... building an outcrop?

8:25 am

Scrabbler

I have tried Chobani, Yoplait and Oikos. They are more expensive but have more protein and less sugar.

8:26 am

Aloyisius

the texture is wonderful

8:26 am

sprite

their house is gonna be bigger. Where part of the fence is now, will be their wall in about a month from now.

8:26 am

72 Temple Owl

i eat chobani. how is the yoplait?

8:26 am

Scrabbler

And Stonyfield Farm.

8:26 am

Aloyisius

so, I hope you are receiving compensation, Sprite.. or are you just being a supernice neighbor?

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabs, any idea why greek yogurt has less calcium?

8:27 am

JBV

ugh, that's awful - sprite, it happened to my sister

8:27 am

Scrabbler

The Yoplait has more sugar because it is made with fruit. I usually buy plain yogurt then add Splenda, fresh fruit and cereal.

8:27 am

sprite

no compensation for things like that in the netherlands. They have a right to expand their home. We will have to sit out the ride.
But we talked with them... they are gonna keep us up to date about what is happening, so that will help me be less panicky.

8:27 am

Aloyisius

yogurt on top of granola, yum

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

chobani flavored has so very little sugar esp compared to regular yogurt

8:27 am

sprite

and I love greek yoghurt

8:28 am

Scrabbler

I didn't know that, Owl. I mostly look at labels for sugar, fat and protein contents.

8:28 am

Aloyisius

they could at least help with the labor of tearing down and reinstalling the fence!

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

nor did i. btw i have decided to rish going on prolia in wake of bad news re bones

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

risk

8:29 am

Scrabbler

I have osteopenia.

8:29 am

sprite

true, Aloy. But they are not very handy and my love is. He is trying to make a construction that will provide a little bit of privacy while they are building.

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

part of my t score is now 3

8:30 am

Aloyisius

not familiar with prolia, TO.. how risky is it?

8:30 am

Scrabbler

On phone with Mother.

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

well it is a bilogic like remicaid for arthritis

8:30 am

Aloyisius

ah yes, I remember the house he built for Terra.. nice!

Terra still loves it so much :)

8:32 am

Aloyisius

my hubby and sons built a really nice house years ago for our pup.. but unfortunately, a wasp stung the pup when he went in it, and he would never go in it again!

8:33 am

sprite

aww what a shame :(

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

well, time to get going. happy babbling to all and a good morning/afternoon/night

I had to sign off quicker than usual the other day...did anyone ever hear back from Lickety and Mr. P about their house and car?

8:49 am

Aloyisius

8:49 am

Aloyisius

Does he know what caused it? That is so horrible.

8:50 am

Aloyisius

investigation going on

8:50 am

thanks Aloy, looking.
What's up with the house? And all I heard was that the car was burned to the ground?

8:51 am

sprite

8:51 am

Aloyisius

the house is ok.. but would have burned except for a heroic neighbor

8:51 am

Angela

Ugh. Poor Lickety family. :(

8:52 am

sprite

couldyou please fill me in? What happened?

8:52 am

Aloyisius

takes me back to playground days

8:53 am

Angela

All I know is that Lickety and Mr. President's car was burned to the ground and his house was apparently saved from the same fate by his neighbor...

8:53 am

Angela

(hope I got that right???)

8:54 am

Aloyisius

9:24 am

Mark Jones

May I have the 9 for halfway?

9:24 am

Mark Jones

Yes, sprite, it is.

9:24 am

crosshair

it is amazing how the way your word come together can give you away

9:25 am

crosshair

it is indeed sprite

9:25 am

crosshair

for instance our customs down at pearson can tell many things just by how you say the name Toronto,it is very interesting

9:26 am

sprite

I don't have it yet, Mark

9:26 am

wvteach

the 9 is a compound word - so 9 / 66

9:27 am

sprite

oh I do now. Painful top of the body, and plural.

9:27 am

Mark Jones

thx wv and sprite, halfway there for me!

9:27 am

crosshair

most of us say Toranna or torrono very fast and fluid but many people from out of country will say T-or-ON-To with heavy emphasis on the t,s

9:28 am

crosshair

ty sprite

9:28 am

Mark Jones

Funny, crossy. I would say it as T-or-ON-To.

9:29 am

crosshair

and many words liker,git,bugger,wanker,pin one as britt or aussie

9:29 am

Angela

as would I...

9:29 am

sprite

I would say it like that, crossy.

9:29 am

Mark Jones

Then again, no babbler knows where I am or live, except for a select few.

colour or color... sprite or spright... theater or theatre... aluminum or aluminium...

9:32 am

welki

one would think that the move from the states to canada would be an easy transition, but i can tell you that there are so many subtle differences between the two countries and cultures that it made my head spin

9:32 am

sprite

hiya welki

9:32 am

crosshair

wether you say pop or soda,theater or theatre,colour or color ,honor or honour and opn and on

Mark Jones

Ahhh, I am no longer confused! Yay.

9:34 am

Angela

9:34 am

welki

crosshair

all kinds of example,vey interesting the way language develops and alters itself

9:35 am

Angela

I get my hand slapped by spell check for that one word all the time. And I'm born and raised in VT and NH. Huh.

9:35 am

Mark Jones

From the way I type crossy, can you tell the place that I am from?

9:35 am

crosshair

not quite welki,it is hard to define,sure an accent helps,but it is the way one carries oneself and reacts to certain situations

9:36 am

welki

you must be a closet brit, angela :)

9:36 am

Mark Jones

BBL

9:36 am

9:40 am

crosshair

we actually are not even taking U.S dollars at the station now,lose 2 cents on each plus bank fees or opening an american acct,not worth it anymore

9:40 am

crosshair

yes indeed welki,my britt comes out only when i am steaming mad

9:41 am

welki

but if you go to the bank to exchange CA$ for US$, it's still not at/above par :(

9:41 am

crosshair

again bank fees

9:41 am

Angela

I do not have an accent. I sound perfectly normal. Not at all like a New Englander.

9:41 am

Angela

jmcnrick

i was representing demonstrators down at the court house early on in my career as a DC attorney

10:19 am

jmcnrick

I had no clue how to do much of anything but i knew it was unreasonable for the police to jail people for a nonjailable offense just because they wouldn't give a name the police believed

10:19 am

jmcnrick

so i went in the to lawyers lounge to make some calls and figure out what to do next

10:20 am

jmcnrick

there were 3 or 4 lawyers one of who challenged me and claimed i wasn't a lawyer--idiot me i offered to show him my bar card rather than just flip him off

10:20 am

jmcnrick

but two of the lawyers were sweet and nice and helpful

10:20 am

jmcnrick

one who looked jewish and one who looked hispanic

10:21 am

jmcnrick

the jewish looking one was particularly helpful and I finally got my clients who had been locked up since Monday out of jail on Thursday

10:22 am

jmcnrick

Thursday we were standing in the hall in front of the lawyers lounge and he was next to the door and the door kept hittinghim

10:22 am

10:23 am

jmcnrick

i found out later my blouse had fallen open and i didn't wear a bra in those days and he could see my right nipple--he always said he fell in love with my right nipple first

10:23 am

jmcnrick

we went out friday night and the day concluded sunday morning when i went to meeting

My hubby and I started dating on a Thursday, were engaged on Monday, drove to Maine and got our license Tuesday and on Saturday, July 4, got married in some lady's living room. Her kid was ticked cause he wanted to watch saturday morning cartoons :)

10:30 am

jmcnrick

lol good story angela

10:30 am

Angela

I walked down the "aisle" from the dining room to the living room...tripping over the dog the whole way. Even put Rian's ring on the wrong finger... hehe

10:30 am

Angela* a woman who makes up her mind quickly*

10:30 am

jmcnrick

hi ru

10:31 am

jmcnrick

she was even faster than I was!

10:31 am

trentsnana

how long have you been married, Angela? I thought we got married quickly!!

10:31 am

Angela

hey ru - can't pick out a pair of socks, but life altering decisions...no problem for me.

10:31 am

Angela

This July 4 it will be 19 years.

10:31 am

trentsnana

Wonderful!!

Angela

Definitely is.

10:32 am

rururocks

my wife tried to get rid of me on a few of her friends while we were dating..

10:32 am

trentsnana

I love to hear stories like that because some people think you should date a minimum of one year or two years, etc. I see people who are together for years, get married, and are divorced within a year.

10:32 am

Jillyjill

Morning (or whatever) Babblelanders...how is the grid?

10:32 am

Angela

He is romantic like crossy - maybe his canadian twin???

10:32 am

10:32 am

Angela

10:32 am

trentsnana

People thought we were crazy and now I just say, "na-na-na-na-na-na!"

10:32 am

10:33 am

crosshair

i was actually running a bar with a 26 room motel attached to it and need 2 cleaning women for the rooms.i phones the temp service and they sent 2 ladies down for interview.one of them was my mrs.i remembered her from an adult education top up class for getting your diploma(the building was next to the food wholesale building we used) and of course she was 20 and thin and had legs up to her neck and hair down to her tushie.i was 27 and of course hired her on the spot.we used to chit chat as i assigned rooms or did payroll it it got to the point where i could see her face when i slept,when i ate,my paperwork was a shambles as i was daydreaming bout her all day.one day i have her the 4 rooms(2 upper and 2 lower) closest to the bar as i was tending it and could sneek looks at her as she went back and forth from the linnen closet to the rooms,i was going in and out of the units she was doing on the pretense of seeing how she was making out and if she was settling into the job.took me 3 hours and about 5 "visits" to get the nerve up to ask her out ans she said yes;))

10:33 am

jmcnrick

nope never could date without it interfering with the boy and he was my priority

10:37 am

trentsnana

I told my hubby I would never remarry if something happened to me. It would not be fair to them - I would constantly compare him to my hubby and he would never come close.

10:37 am

trentsnana

10:37 am

Met my hubby when I was 17 when he came to our small town to work. He was 19 and homesick... my family actually embraced him before I did !! We dated for 3 years, ( two of which we were apart, and I've got over 200 sweet letters from that time) We were married in 1960 and almost 51 years later, we have 4 grown kids, 10 grandkids and a great-grand on the way. Life has been great, and you are right trentsnana.... it's a lifelong project requiring many things !!

10:41 am

Isn't that the same problem in real life JMC? : D

11:55 am

I am not at all impressed with Chrome, Sue.

11:57 am

uusue2

I have liked it for a while but now it is starting to give me trouble, so I am back to Firefox.

11:58 am

MollyL

I read that some people think that Google rolled it out before all the kinks were fixed.

11:59 am

There have been some updates but I'll wait for a while. Maybe I'll reinstall it at some point.

reading back on the chog log and how some people agonize over their daily routines ocd i suppose,seems common in babblers.i have a binder listing all things that need to be done that day as far as bill to pay.appts etc and get thrown for a loop is something unexpected has to be added to the day when it is already upon me,but with travelling you can give me 20 minutes notice and i can pack a spare change of clothes,my ebook reader,a bottle of whiskey and my passport and i am instantly ready to go anywhere on the planet some visas, and a credit card,some local cash and i am there:) everything in a single carry on dufflle bag;)...well i guess i cannot take the whiskey on board anymore;9

12:36 pm

uusue2

you can take 3 ounces of it, I think, crossy :-)

12:36 pm

Judi

Good for you, Crossy. You can take the whiskey on board if you buy it in the airport. Go figure.

12:36 pm

crosshair

lol,thats mouthwash lol

12:36 pm

crosshair

can you? if you buy it there?

12:36 pm

crosshair

did not know that

12:37 pm

uusue2

maybe if you buy it past security :-(

12:37 pm

crosshair

crossy wonder is a texas mickey can fit in overhead compartment....

12:37 pm

uusue2

or I suppose you could pack it in your checked bag...

12:39 pm

uusue2

although on my last trip I put all my disallowed items in my checked bag (like a full-sized tube of toothpaste, the horror!), packed them carefully so nothing would spill and would be contained if it did (inside plastic bags). Got home, opened the bag, found everything all over the place, and a note from the TSA that they'd searched my bag. Sigh. Fortunately it only had clothes and toiletries in it.

12:40 pm

crosshair

guess i can no longer hide diamonds in the toothpaste tube....

12:40 pm

Hiya, ballet!

12:41 pm

uusue2

Well, I don't think they opened the tube, so you could probably still get away with it :-)

12:41 pm

uusue2

hi, ballet!

12:41 pm

Judi

You don't have to hide diamonds, crossy. They aren't considered contraband.

12:41 pm

crosshair

no,i mean coming back in lol

12:41 pm

balletslippers

well they sell all sorts of things after you get through security, and they've all been checked for dangerous whatever... so you can buy a big bottle of whiskey and take it on the plane with you if you like.

12:41 pm

uusue2

Avoiding paying import duties, crossy? :-)

12:42 pm

Judi

And, if you're smuggling diamonds, you can afford to charter your own private flight.

12:42 pm

balletslippers

there are also bars in the airport that you can enjoy before you board....

12:44 pm

balletslippers

anyone live in the raleigh, nc area? I'm searching for apartments and could use advice.

No Ballet, but I've been there. Nice area. By the way I looked at your jewelry site. Love the crow feather earring.

12:48 pm

yes, i seem to remember hearing about one or two, which is why i asked. But oh well. I'll continue my search for now.

12:48 pm

Aww thanks Molly! How kind of you. I just started up the shop and am slowly filling it up...

haha me too, Judi

12:52 pm

uusue2

I'm grading exams, and getting depressed by the results.

12:53 pm

uusue2

On the other hand, someone else had taken my class when about 2/3 of this material was covered, so maybe I can blame it on him :-)

12:53 pm

balletslippers

Oh what do you teach, uu?

12:53 pm

12:54 pm

There you go :-)

12:55 pm

12:55 pm

And I did run into one of my former students recently, who told me he always wears his seatbelt because of my class - that makes me feel good.

12:55 pm

12:56 pm

Tata for now. *POOF*

12:56 pm

balletslippers

I think it's amazing the things that stick with you from a course. That student remembers to wear his seatbelt out of all the things you undoubtedly taught him... it's interesting.

12:58 pm

uusue2

well, that was a different course - in that one (gen ed for non-scientists) I tried to emphasize things that were relevant to everyday life.

1:00 pm

anjelica huston was offered the role of annie wilkes in misery but she turned it down to do the grifters. so the role went to kathy bates who won the oscar for it. anjelica huston was also nominated that year for the grifters.

1:07 pm

Oh, I thought you meant a trivia question. I can't see Anjelica as Annie Wilkes.

2:45 pm

Jillyjill

I am so thankful to have been a young woman when role models like her (Geraldine) blazed the way. I always felt that I was not held back by any gender issues...but my dad had some measure in shaping that as well

2:46 pm

cosdem

thats awesome. in a way gerry did more for women than hillary did in 2008 because back in 1984 it wasn't so.. you know?

How is your dad doing, Sue? And your dad's wife?

3:30 pm

Boobear

Happy Birthday to Due

Soodle

Interesting busy, Min, or just busy busy?

3:30 pm

My life is NEVER interesting so just busy busy I guess.

3:31 pm

MollyL

Ah, 'tis St. Soodle Of The Lottery Winnings.

3:31 pm

Minveryork

Most interesting part of my life is here in the chat log

3:31 pm

Soodle

Correction, Moll - 'St Soodle on her knees praying for a lottery win' Soodle!

3:32 pm

MollyL

Practicing manifesting Soodle. See it, and it becomes real.

3:32 pm

Boobear

3:33 pm

Minveryork

du 5/16 is plural of the du 4/7 word before it Boobear

3:33 pm

MollyL

du + sale circulars in the paper

3:33 pm

Minveryork

du 4/7 word is du plus abbreviation for tv commercial

3:33 pm

Soodle

Oh, I know, Moll. I spend money as if I had already won the lottery (practicing, as it were...) And now I think its time the manifestations came to pass.....

3:33 pm

Boobear

I tried that but it doesn't take it

3:35 pm

MollyL

Sounds Biblical Soodle...And the manifestations came to pass...

3:35 pm

Boobear

ok ty

3:35 pm

Trifioso

hello dear freinds

3:35 pm

Soodle

The manifestations can do whatever they want to, as long as I come into money PDQ!!!

3:36 pm

Minveryork

Hello Trifioso!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

3:36 pm

Soodle

(((Trif))))

3:36 pm

Boobear

Hello Trifioso

3:36 pm

Trifioso

I am avoiding doing all the dreaded, but necessary housework by spending time in lovely babble land

3:37 pm

MollyL

What house? What housework?

3:37 pm

Boobear

I have days like that too

3:37 pm

Soodle

Housework??? I remember housework......

3:38 pm

Soodle

My theory about housework......

3:38 pm

Trifioso

now that I am working almost full time, I just cant seem to keep it all in balance. I will get there....

3:38 pm

Soodle

If you do housework, you are houseproud. Pride cometh before a fall. Ergo, if you do housework, your house falls down.

3:38 pm

MollyL

It's called working two jobs Trif.

3:39 pm

Trifioso

LOL soodle. At this point, I could swap in the vacuum for a flamethrower and be done a lot faster

3:42 pm

Soodle

My elder daughter just started a new job as housekeeper (formerly known as chambermaid in pre-PC times) at a 5 star hotel. She was horrified at how clean they expect her to make the rooms....

3:42 pm

MollyL

She's going to be even more horrified to find how people leave those rooms.

3:43 pm

Soodle

It won't do her a bit of harm, Moll. She is 19, and in college, and has never had a job in her life.

3:45 pm

MollyL

Plus you can get in a lot of Mom zings about what it's like cleaning up after people all the time. : )

3:47 pm

Soodle

Hmm. It was after me making the 'Your 19 now, and must start taking some responsiblity for yourself' speech that she went and got the job. She is now flaked out on the couch, declaring that she is worn out. Sheesh!

3:47 pm

Trifioso

wow, my babble just freaked out

3:47 pm

Trifioso

wow, my babble just freaked out

3:48 pm

onyx

we have honey bees in the kitchen dozens of buzzin bees! any one know why they are coming in from the rain?

3:48 pm

Soodle

What happened Trif? (disgruntled that my babble is the non-freak-out-version)

3:49 pm

Trifioso

I thought all was well and cruising along, and then suddenly I realized no words were going in, and then I got about 25 red bars

3:50 pm

Soodle

Arrgghh. the dreaded red bars! Onyx, did you leave the top off the honey jar?

3:51 pm

Minveryork

LOL Soodlebum!

3:51 pm

onyx

not that i know of. but my son always does something like that in a place i would never look.

3:52 pm

Soodle

What part of the world are you in, Onyx? I haven't seen a bee in about 8 months.. Is it summer where you are?

3:53 pm

onyx

california, and every thing is blooming now, citrus apricots lavender,

3:54 pm

Soodle

Oh how lovely. I love CA.

3:55 pm

onyx

thhis is the 13 th day of rain in a very rainy month, getting a little tedious but yeah , am very fortunate to live here.

3:58 pm

Soodle

And, here in the country where it rains non-stop, we have had nothing but glorious spring sunshine for about 2 weeks now. Go figure!

4:01 pm

Boobear

Soodle

4:02 pm

onyx

4:02 pm

Boobear

ty

4:04 pm

onyx

if what the donkey says is a word then the red neck cheer should be a word too.

4:05 pm

Soodle

Yup, everybody is enjoying the good weather here. Its been the coldest winter on record, and people are in need of a bit of sunshine.

4:08 pm

rururocks

4:15 pm

rururocks

Minveryork

4:28 pm

Uneaixoise

Soodle

Oh Ru, I am sorry to hear that. Clearly he heard about the opposition, and chickened out. Yah boo Agasssi.

4:34 pm

ch1212

stidgmere, do you garden? Do you know if Everett/Seattle area is more Zone 7 or Zone 8? I've been looking at sites, and can't get a clear answer for veggie planting...

4:37 pm

stidgmere

Ch you want to talk to stidmama on gardening. I am horrible at it but she has a flair and passion for the garden. We have so many mini zones. We live in a "banana belt" because we are right on the sound.

4:37 pm

ch1212

Okay, will do. We live closer to the Cascades, a bit more inland from the Sound. I'll check with her. Thanks, Stig.

4:38 pm

stidgmere

Yw. Somethings I know about but you want the best possible advise.

4:40 pm

jmcnrick

ru i am so disappointed you don't get to make an ass out of yourself in front of agassi

4:41 pm

jmcnrick

hi all back

4:41 pm

jmcnrick

i had some upsetting news!

4:41 pm

stidgmere

Hi jmc! Hope your day is going well.

4:42 pm

jmcnrick

my son's college graduation is the same date as two board meetings and my farewell party and a big national event i have to organize!

4:42 pm

alembick

nice little palindrome in there today

4:42 pm

jmcnrick

*throws books and chairs around office*

4:43 pm

alembick

sheeds

4:43 pm

alembick

oops sorry everyone

4:43 pm

alembick

at least it wasn't a real word

4:43 pm

jmcnrick

hi alem

4:43 pm

stidgmere

So there is a day in the future that you don't think is going to be so great. Sorry jmc you need a clone.

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

two things neither of which i can miss!

4:44 pm

alembick

sounds like you need 3 clones

4:44 pm

Bugsaw

what a horrible dilemma jmc!! You could forget the board meetings but the other two both require your presence!

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

i can forget one board meeting-- i am just the treasurer but the other one is my job!

4:45 pm

Bugsaw

you can get a day off your job for a graduation!

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

sheesh is to put is mildly

4:45 pm

stidgmere

Bugsaw shall we pretend to be jmc for a day and help her out? Why does it sound like a plot from I Love Lucy?

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

by the way in case you need to know backberry doesn't accept the F word

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

lol not from my board's meeting bugs!

4:46 pm

Bugsaw

great plan stidgmere! i will take the graduation ceremonies since none of my brood made it that far. :)

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

*sobs* but I want to see my baby graduate! I missed my own high school, college and law school graduations!

4:47 pm

stidgmere

I shall do the retirement ceremony since I've done that and it was fun.

4:47 pm

alembick

I'll represent you at your farewell party. Sounds like I wouldn't have to do any actual work, just be gracious. since the graduation is already taken

4:47 pm

Bugsaw

then be the boss and change the date of the meeting. I think you are underestimating how much you are loved.

4:47 pm

alembick

have your son carry his laptop around and you can be there via skype

4:48 pm

stidgmere

I think we have the problem solved jmc. Are you saying you never graduated for the degrees you got the jobs for? Are we to talk about the great imposter here?

4:48 pm

alembick

multiple laptops at all locations, skype them all

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

no unfortunately the board gets to pick the date of their meeting it is the only thing i can't boss around

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

no i was sick with fever all three times

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

the only one i regretted was the law school

4:48 pm

Bugsaw

you still need to tell them of your dilemma

4:49 pm

Bugsaw

there will be a Way

4:49 pm

stidgmere

I found out at finals time, it didn't matter if I didn't feel well. I still had to show up and take the final. After a couple of times I just didn't use the sore throat, can't swallow or breathe gambit any more.

4:49 pm

jmcnrick

i will--i think if I leave the board meeting early i can make it to part of the ceremony and then the next day if i leave the other part of the ceremony early i can make it to my party

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

then i see the grand finale instead of going to Meeting for Worship on Sunday

4:50 pm

Soodle

Oh,JMC, that is horrible dilema..... You will be torn in many directions...

4:50 pm

alembick

sheesh is to put is mildly -- guess which word is in our grid today -- but NOT IN THE DICTIONARY!!

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

of course my son has to come to my party too!

4:50 pm

Bugsaw

see? but we will all be on standby for the free food and smoozing just in case

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

i know alembick isn't that ridiculous?

4:51 pm

stidgmere

If you are retiring, what are you planning to do next? When all the day of committment activities are finally over.

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

you can come for the free food and smoozing any way

4:51 pm

stidgmere

Yes, Bugsaw, I shall be ready with frequent flier miles in hand ready to board Southwest Airlines flights east.

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

i am working until july 31 (or just before because there is a big quaker meeting that lasts until the 31st)

4:52 pm

jmcnrick

i will give a free pass to any babbler that shows up at my party

4:52 pm

jmcnrick

we can have a big slumber party at my house since i will already be going insane

4:53 pm

jmcnrick

after july 31 there is no telling what i am doing since i have yet to find another job

4:53 pm

stidgmere

Hmmmm. Sounds promising. Does a slumber party require insanity or is it the result of unbalanced thinking?

4:53 pm

jmcnrick

i think slumber parties require a soupson of insanity

4:54 pm

stidgmere

Maybe organizing parties for Babblers. Sounds like a full-time job.

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

lol

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

i could do that but would it pay?

4:54 pm

Bugsaw

absolutely they do jmc. especially when we all deny we snore lol

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

i admitted it :-P

4:55 pm

stidgmere

Run a tour of the DC area for out-of-town Babblers.

4:55 pm

jmcnrick

4:57 pm

Soodle

7:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

i as in church and the lady in fonr of me had a bug crawling back and forth along the top of her coat. i did not say anything; should i have?

7:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was fascinated and horrified, it just kep gong back and forth

7:29 pm

Mom

if you felt comfortable with it, you could have tapped her on the shoulder and told her and ask her if she would like you to remove it.

7:29 pm

Mom

lol, I would have freaked.

7:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

well one problem: it was a stinkbug.

7:30 pm

Mom

I wouldn't have touched that with a 10 foot pole.

7:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i put o n my glasses to check out what kind of bug it was but hard to see brown on brown

7:30 pm

Mom

I was reading about them in the paper this morning

7:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was worried it was going to crawl into her neck since it seemed to use her collar as a highay

7:31 pm

Mom

you could have said to her after church, you might want to shake your coat off before you go home. there is a stinkbug on it

7:31 pm

Mom

did it?

7:31 pm

Mom

I read that they smell really bad

7:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

well i never saw one until four years ago. i think they were first found in PA. well it went around the front of the shoulder. she did brush as if something tickled her

7:32 pm

redturtlehead

Hi All. TO, I am not sure I would have told her either...

7:32 pm

Mom

well then it took care of itself then.

7:32 pm

Mom

7:32 pm

redturtlehead

7:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

i guess... hi red

7:32 pm

Mom

sorry that Florida lost today's game

7:33 pm

Mom

for a stinkbug I would not have mentioned it. Unless I saw her after church. Would hate for her to have smacked it

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

really. but i have no idea what the etiquette is.

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

they smell awful, musty. sort of like curry.

7:34 pm

Mom

I would say if you saw her after church, mention it but I wouldh

7:34 pm

Mom

t have during church given the type of bug

7:35 pm

Mom

I have never smelled curry

7:35 pm

Mom

but I do know what musty smells like

7:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

and they show up everywhere, get in through the edges of screens

7:35 pm

Mom

oh no! I will have to see what one looks like and keep an eye out

7:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

you should go eat, mom, it is getting late. you have never seen one?

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

I never thought curry smelled like musty? Hmmm.

7:36 pm

Mom

no, never

7:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

well i think curry smells bad so they smell like musty curry. or maybve it is just projection, since i don't like the smell of curry

7:37 pm

Mom

TO, when I bought my mattress, it came all wrapped in plastic. Yu could have them deliver it to the out of the truck, strip off the plastic and have them then carry it into your home.

7:42 pm

car.eeyore

7:42 pm

My Parents have one gort. they dont like to admit it but they are not in love with it.

7:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

i want to bake but cannot, i am too full to look at any food

7:46 pm

gortmold

do they ever complain that it's too hot, red?

7:46 pm

redturtlehead

if I ever get my house TO, I will need to also think of these things, so thanks for putting it into my mind...

7:46 pm

redturtlehead

I can ask, mostly that it sort of molds around the body but is not as supportive as a spring mattress, which doesn't :mold"

7:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

you mean bedbugs? or stinkbugs? gee, can i helo you with anything else, like palmetto bugs ? :/

7:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

roaches? termites?

7:47 pm

redturtlehead

Oh I hope not! the new home has special anti bug crud built into the stucco...

7:47 pm

redturtlehead

probably will give me cancer.

7:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey lyn

7:48 pm

gortmold

hmmm, thanks for that red; latex sounds perfect re bedbug resistant, and enduring, but lets itself down in the overheating and not supporting departments

7:48 pm

Mom

I have never seen a bed bug, a termite, a stink bug, or a palmetto bug

7:48 pm

redturtlehead

You know, oddly I rarely see roaches. probably because of the chemicals. I discovered by running early in the am that the essentially "fog" the entire town almost daily for mosquitos.

7:49 pm

car.eeyore

Hi lynxxx! Hi Ivesy!

7:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

now are palmettos roaches?

7:52 pm

ivesy3

np car

7:52 pm

Mom

it is a mattress that has adjustable firmness controls for each side of the bed. So I could have a soft side and his could be more firm

7:52 pm

Mom

Ivesy I don't have it either

7:52 pm

lynxxx

That re5.18 may be sighted again

7:52 pm

redturtlehead

Essentially yes they are large roaches.

<----- can't think....heading back to sleep. Good night everyone!

8:05 pm

lynxxx

thanks for the update Mom, glad it hasn't fallen through

8:05 pm

jmcnrick

bye car

8:05 pm

Mom

jmc, when our youngest was looking for full time work, everywhere he went they told him he had to fill out an application on line

8:05 pm

8:05 pm

Mom

good night Car. pleasant dreams

8:05 pm

nite car

8:05 pm

Mom

you're welcome Lynxxx

8:06 pm

jmcnrick

yeah now you have to email the resume and writing sample no matter what job you are applying for

8:06 pm

jmcnrick

i guess it means i can at least apply with my nightie on

8:07 pm

Mom

that is so not right. Who is to say if they even look at them

8:07 pm

jmcnrick

well who was to say if they looked at them before when you dropped them off?

8:08 pm

Mom

let them see you, see the potential, hear it in their voice.

8:08 pm

Mom

well at least you had to hand it to someone before they put it in the trash

8:08 pm

jmcnrick

now at least you prove you can use a computer

8:08 pm

Mom

true

8:09 pm

Mom

but you use to have to prove you could type, take dictation

8:09 pm

lynxxx

Been on the other side. Can assure you they are looked at. When you have up to 100 applicants for a job, narrowing down the choices via resumes is the only way to go - you can only interview 10 - certainly not 100

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

once during a recession i had three feet of resumes sent to my law office

8:09 pm

Mom

heck shorthand is a thing of the past

8:10 pm

jmcnrick

everyone can type now and no one uses dictation anymore

8:10 pm

jmcnrick

lawyers write their own briefs on their computers

8:10 pm

Mom

I didn't think they did jmc

8:11 pm

Mom

is it a special program or just a word program, jmc

8:11 pm

jmcnrick

i prescreen them lynxxx by asking for an essay on conscience objection--if they don't bother i toss the resume

8:12 pm

jmcnrick

just a word program, then you email it to the printer who lays it out and emails it to the court and the opposing attorneys

8:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

our resumes are scanned by a computer program, if you don't match the buzzwords, yo are not rated eligible

8:12 pm

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:13 pm

Mom

When I arrived for the class there was a lady there that I knew but couldn't remember her name (she was one of 12 children) I dated her brother for 2 years back in the late 70's. she looked at me and I looked at her and we both said you are a (Insert maiden name) and we have been best friends since

I.E has long ago fallen by the wayside against firefox and google chrome

9:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

9:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(POS instructions from the POS website for POS microshaft!!) Okay, next it say s . . .

9:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

1.Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Internet Explorer.

2.Do one of the following:

â€¢In Internet Explorer 8, click the Tools button, point to Toolbars, and then click Menu Bar.

â€¢In Internet Explorer 7, click the Tools button, and then click Menu Bar.

(Yes, that is totally useless since you can't click on TOOLS) !!!

Evening, Dan.

9:18 pm

Pinikula

In IE, if you can see the bar that has the "favorites" icon, you can right click on it and then click "menu bar" (that has the "tools" link)

9:18 pm

Pinikula

evening all

9:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

have you tried right-clicking on the menu bar? that's all i can think of

9:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

start button not visible

9:18 pm

gapeach

Hey ther, Pini.

9:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

You don't have start button? You might have to unplug the puter

9:19 pm

crosshair

god bless google chrome and firefox

Book Doctor Gwen

how did you shut down if you can't see teh start button?

9:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

toolbars are locked i shut down via tasklist

9:22 pm

Pinikula

It almost sounds like your display settings have been altered (to a setting that is larger than your screen, if you're not able to see the tops and/or bottoms of things)...but that's only a guess

9:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

bottom is light gray where taskbar should be. taskbar DOES appear upon startup, but disappears when ie is started

9:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

menu bar is visible upon moving crsor over top

A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper, Enzo, has cheated him out of 10 million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf, that was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that Enzo would hear nothing that he might have to testify about in court.

When the Godfather goes to confront Enzo about his missing $10 million, he takes along his lawyer who knows sign language. The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks is that he embezzled from me."

The lawyer, using sign language, asks Enzo where the money is..

Enzo signs back, "I don't know what you are talking about."

The lawyer tells the Godfather, "He says he doesn't know what you are talking about."

The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to Enzo's temple and says, "Ask him again!"

The lawyer signs to Enzo, "He'll kill you if you don't tell him."

Enzo signs back, "OK. You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Bruno's backyard in Woodbridge !"

The Godfather asks the lawyer, "What did he say?"

The lawyer replies, "He says you don't have the balls to pull the trigger."
