Minveryork

Hey is Lickety still here. His page has the right date, but the list is still from the last grid. Maybe it can be fixed? Anyway, I am signing off. Be back later today.

Has anyone got Lickety's right list? It hasn't appeared on my faithful laptop.
12:14 am
cosdem

no jilli
12:14 am
jillibus

Hello stid!
12:15 am
gremlinn

no, and I tried restarting, refreshing both places, etc.
12:15 am
flosey

not available here, jilli
12:15 am
gremlinn

seems to me it would make a lot more sense to have the puzzle solver built into BabbleExpert to avoid problems like this
12:16 am
jillibus

Guess we should email him or send him an FB message...
12:16 am
jillibus

grem, you could email him and suggest that ... ?
12:16 am
Pinikula

35 now ;)
12:16 am
stidmama

the issue gremlinn in the past has been that the Expert doesn't use exactly the same enable list dr g uses, hence it requires tweaking the final list on a regular basis.
12:16 am
stidmama

go pini go
12:16 am
Pinikula

oh, 1/2-way, nbt, nbs ;)
12:16 am
stidmama

down to 42, working on NBT first.

Pinikula

* giggle *
12:17 am
stidmama

go pini go!
12:17 am
gremlinn

12:52 am
rururocks

what's a fascinator?
12:52 am
jillibus

I don't think I want to ask ruru why he doesn't concur. It was such happiness in an unhappy world I want to cling to it.
12:52 am

Princess Bea took the prize
12:52 am
cybernan

most of the ugly headwear the women wore at the wedding -- Eugenie's wasn't much better!
12:53 am
westford

true nan what were they thinking?
12:53 am
jillibus

a fascinator is a little hat sort of thing. I you had watched you might have learned a thing or two, not just about hats or trivialities.
12:53 am
Kaplan the Magne

I just watched bits of it---politics and class consiousness aside, it was nice to see people happy. So little of that in the world.
12:54 am

jilli do you know who the bridesmaids and pageboys were?
12:54 am
jillibus

It was magnificent.
12:54 am

I was wondering if Edward and Sophie's daughter was one of them
12:54 am
westford

she'd be about the right age I think
12:54 am
jillibus

they were nieces and nephews of William and kate, as I understand it.
12:54 am

I believe she was.
12:55 am

westford

wtg jilli !!
1:09 am

probably the tannins or the oak that is bothering you
1:09 am
jillibus

whites can't substitute for reds
1:09 am
rururocks

what do you mean don't agree with you?
1:09 am
cybernan

oh yes they can!
1:09 am
westford

sometimes I get heartburn
1:09 am
jillibus

There are the Naked Grape reds -- unoaked, nice.
1:09 am
rururocks

oh.. just from reds?
1:10 am
westford

we just finished a bottle of shiraz that was good
1:10 am
westford

seems like it ru
1:10 am
cybernan

I get migranes from all red wines
1:10 am
rururocks

you might try taking one benedryl before drinking red.. the histamines might be bothering you
1:10 am
westford

I know some people like that nan
1:11 am
cybernan

* and chardonnay -- unfortuneately many restaurants don't know there are other whites!
1:11 am
westford

hmmm might put me to sleep though
1:11 am
jillibus

and that should give yo a real knockout punch, lol!
1:11 am
rururocks

or two benedryl if it doesn't put you to sleep
1:11 am
Kaplan the Magne

I wish I could get to sleep.
1:11 am
cybernan

take a zantac before drinking
1:11 am
westford

getting an aerator wouldn't help?
1:11 am
rururocks

benedryl wires me up
1:11 am

1:12 am
westford

what's happening tomorrow kap?
1:12 am
rururocks

you might also try taking pepsid before drinking red.. start with lighter reds like Pinot Noir or Beaujolais and build up in power to see what happens
1:13 am
Kaplan the Magne

I don't have any ambien- sure could use some.
1:13 am
rururocks

wonder if KJE liked the wine I recommended
1:13 am
westford

I will try that don't want to give up red wine
1:13 am
rururocks

I could sleep standing up..
1:14 am
rururocks

you could also drink water too at the same time west.. it could be the higher alcohol in the reds
1:14 am
westford

generally do that
1:14 am
jillibus

now that sounds like a very good idea, ruru
1:15 am
rururocks

I doubt it is the tannins.. because whites have tannins too
1:15 am
rururocks

I have to drink water when drinking reds or I get a migraine.. I can't mix red and white any longer now that I am older
1:16 am

this grid is so difficult, it probably won't even matter.
3:20 am
Odin

Right Ruby. I barely had time for the 305 and now that I have a leisure day we get 56.
3:21 am
rubyfoo

I think I got half of the 305 and ran out of time. Plenty of time today, but this is too hard for me; I probably won't even get half
3:21 am

It does look challenging I must admit.

3:26 am

3:26 am
varumba

am sure lickety's will help you find the missin gones later on Ruby
3:27 am
rubyfoo

I nver list, just try for at least half and nbt. If there are a few left much later, and FM and Crossy are on, they sometimes drag me across the finish line.
3:27 am
varumba

is i tyour own challenge not to list?
3:27 am
rubyfoo

in a year and a half I think I've had fireworks 5 or 6 times, total! :(
3:28 am
rubyfoo

the fun for me is to see how many words I can get when I first see the grid. The rest of the time, I just enjoy chatting with my friends and finding the occasional word
3:28 am
varumba

i see
3:28 am
Odin

I will need likety later I am sure about that. It is a real challenge to get some of these grids completed.

pizza recipe:

left-over bolognaise sauce

black olives

Eat!

terri just served it up to me and it is absolutely awesome! Thank you terri
7:41 am
terri1

I love that you can use left-over sauce, you know, when you have some in a bowl but it's not enough for a pasta meal
7:44 am
Mom

the ham and cheese base is in place of a crust?
7:46 am
mrpresident

I love leftover bolagnese sauce in a small bowl and crack an egg on top, microwaved for 2 minutes (pierce the egg first!)... enjoy with vegemite and cheese soldier toast!
7:47 am
terri1

No, Mom, you use a cheap, shop bought ham and cheese pizza base and jazz it up. Cheap and so tasty! Doesn't taste like a supermarket pizza at all
7:48 am
Mom

I see
7:48 am
terri1

A frozen ham and cheese pizza, essentially
7:48 am
Mom

gotcha
7:48 am
mrpresident

the base can also be made with pita bread, pizza sauce and garlic, with all the other ingredients added... very nice homemade comfort food
7:49 am
Mom

I have never seen ham and cheese frozen pizza. I know at the pizzerias ham and pineapple pizzas are very popular
7:50 am

Ok, then just buy a cheese pizza or magharita pizza

argh this grid it little and mean
9:11 am
herinfernallady

I hate small grids
9:11 am
jmcnrick

i am not found of them either since they empty the chog and they tend to be really stupid words
9:12 am
herinfernallady

true
9:12 am
crosshair

now here is a very interesting little app for those of you who have lost a camera or had one stolen....
9:12 am
crosshair

http://www.stolencamerafinder.com/
9:13 am
herinfernallady

I have my contact details on my camera USB thingy
9:14 am
crosshair

this tracks you camera via the pictures it took before it was lost or stolen
9:14 am
herinfernallady

Nice
9:15 am
crosshair

i do not know what i hate most tiny grids full of un-words like this or monsters over 400..my preference is 150-300
9:16 am
herinfernallady

So i take one of those photos on my pc that was from my camera drop onto photo and then what?
9:17 am
crosshair

then it uses a tracking number from it and will seach the web for all pics taken with that camera
9:17 am
herinfernallady

O nice so then say for instance I take your camera and then use it and post it on my FB it will then say it is on Cross Hair fb page?
9:19 am
crosshair

it will bring me direct to you facebook page showing the pics,then you can begin the detective work
9:19 am
crosshair

so eventually you can track down exactly who is currently using it
9:19 am
herinfernallady

But what if those pics are set on me only?
9:20 am
jmcnrick

it doesn't work for my camera :-(
9:21 am
jmcnrick

i need to head off and pretend i am doing something--at least fe** my cat
9:21 am
crosshair

i do not know herin,you will have to play with it..not all cameras will work with it but many do
9:21 am
herinfernallady

The 'Canon Canon DIGITAL IXUS 70' does not write serial information in the exif. See the supported cameras page for a list of models that do
9:22 am
herinfernallady

Me either
9:22 am
crosshair

there we go,they have a camera list
9:22 am
herinfernallady

BUT it is an interesting concept
9:22 am
crosshair

very interesting
9:23 am
herinfernallady

Considering the amount of camera's that get pinched on holidays or left on tables
9:25 am
crosshair

technology is a wonderful thing sometimes
9:25 am

howdy nef...we have a nasty little grid full of small un-words
10:16 am

That describes it perfectly.
10:17 am

i am just randomly mashing 4 and 5 letters together:(
10:18 am
Nef

so it isn't just me having problems with this grid! Good to know (yestrdays grid started well; but I never finished since I kept falling asleep entering words that weren't there)
10:19 am
Nef

Oh, Geez! I didn't realize that there aren't any larger words! It helps to pay attention, doesn't it?
10:20 am
crosshair

lol,i knew i was in for it when i hit my first wall just 19 words in
10:20 am
crosshair

lol thats why i said 4 and 5 letters;))
10:21 am

I need coffee obviously. Before I entered chog I was trying to make words on blackened tiles. BRB with a cup of coffee. Anyone else want some?
10:22 am

thanks nef,i have a tea going

Why another short grid on a Saturday??
10:33 am
Nef

I once asked Dr_G if he ever throws a new grid if he doesn't like the first one and he said NO; so we are stuck with whatever comes up.
10:34 am
wildcat17

ugh
10:34 am
Nef

It seems to be short and wicked, wild. Good Luck!
10:35 am
wildcat17

thanks. I'm over halfway but that doesn't mean anything
10:36 am

If I'd had this grid to do yesterday I would not have seen the wedding! What a toughie..
10:40 am

Dang! When the word my grandson uses for dogs is in the grid; it IS a stupid grid!

hi Pini

11:07 am

Just as in fishing, I think a grid should be thrown back if it's not big enough.
11:07 am
Pinikula

interesting thought, molly
11:08 am
uusue2

Lol, Molly!
11:10 am
Pinikula

(list in my profile if anyone needs one)
11:10 am
MollyL

It would be cool if Babble had three levels to choose from. Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced.
11:10 am
Pinikula

oooh, now there's an idea, molly!
11:12 am
Pinikula

although I can only imagine how much work that would be (to create 3 daily puzzles)
11:12 am
Nef

I don't know; I'd try finishing all 3 grids each day! I'd have to retire just to play Babble!
11:12 am
Pinikula

ROFL!
11:13 am
Nef

And how would the grid maker know which grid was hard or easy?
11:13 am
Pinikula

word stats?
11:14 am
uusue2

Well, and it seems they all become advanced at the end. I suppose you'd habeas
11:14 am
Pinikula

I mean 'easy' might only have 4-5 letter words; 'interm' might have those + 6-7; 'adv' might have all of those, plus the real biggies
11:14 am
Nef

BBS, I'm being kicked out for a minute
11:14 am
Pinikula

hb nef
11:14 am
uusue2

Sorry, you'd have to have three different dictionaries.
11:15 am
Pinikula

how's that, uu ?
11:16 am
uusue2

Habeas was my phone thinking for me. Sorry for confusion.
11:16 am
uusue2

Habeas was my phone thinking for me. Sorry for confusion.
11:16 am
Pinikula

:)
11:17 am
uusue2

You could have a kids dictionary with just simple words, then an intermediate dictionary with more words, then the full dictionary with all the words.
11:18 am
uusue2

So you could play the same grid at three different levels.
11:18 am
Pinikula

gotcha...one dictionary each to cover each difficulty level
11:19 am
uusue2

Or there could be three separate grids but I think one grid and three levels would be better.
11:20 am
Pinikula

sure...you could still get 'credit' for finishing each level: easy = C, interm = B, adv = A!
11:20 am
uusue2

The kids level of this grid would have about six words in it, I think :-)
11:22 am
Pinikula

Oh, I think they'd be able to do more than that. My GD (11yo) likes to play with me when she visits...she's getting pretty good - especially with the 4-ltr words ;)
11:22 am
Pinikula

(not the swearing kind, of course! :) )
11:23 am
uusue2

Another variation might be to allow 3-letter words on the kids level.
11:23 am
Pinikula

Maybe Dr. G could just put an easy, med, hard notation at the top of the grid like he does on the sudoku side
11:23 am
Pinikula

there's an idea, uu...
11:24 am
Pinikula

...just like Boggle...Boggle rules allow 3+ letters; Big Boggle rules start at 4 min
11:24 am
uusue2

Also true - certain simple but, um, adult words could be left out if the kids dictionary.
11:25 am
uusue2


*of
11:25 am
Pinikula

...we play Big Boggle with modified rules; nothing less than 5 ltrs
11:25 am
uusue2

Ooh, you are tough!
11:26 am
Pinikula

Well, doing so allows us to actually be able to talk and makes the lists shorter so we're not just crossing everything off...
11:26 am
Pinikula

12:02 pm

I used to ice cakes the same way I wrapped packages; they looked awful but the insides were fine
12:45 pm
rubyfoo

what brand of tequila, jmc?
12:46 pm
jmcnrick

hmmm i will go look i forget
12:46 pm
Nef


LOL, ruby! I don't even pretend to drink anymore! I found out years ago that I can't handle booze because I pay for it the whole next day. Very rarely I will try a wine spritzer, but not often enough to count on my thumbs
12:47 pm
uusue2

ok, gave up no the phone, now I am back on my computer. won't fnd a lot more words but perhaps I can converse more coherently :-)
12:47 pm

milagro
12:47 pm
uusue2

and ruby, my packages and cakes look pretty much like yours, I think!
12:48 pm
uusue2

It's a miracle!!!
12:48 pm
jmcnrick

you babbling on your phone??
12:48 pm

my cake stink -- can't even make them with a mix

my fancy new phone toy, HTC Inspire. Has problems with its SD card so I can't store files on it (when the semester is over I will get it fixed) but otherwise it really is a fun piece of electronics.
12:49 pm
Nef

I can't imagine doing Babble on a phone
12:50 pm
jmcnrick

i can imagine but have not been able to do it on my blackberry
12:50 pm
jmcnrick

i would never have to carry a laptop again
12:50 pm
uusue2

main problem is that the phone browser doesn't have scroll bars for the word list or the chog
12:50 pm
uusue2

I am down to12 left but with this grid that is like thousands
12:51 pm
uusue2

and anyway it is saturday so i am not in a hurry to finish :-)
12:51 pm

12:51 pm

7 left here, all consonants
12:51 pm

well i succeeded in doing one thing today--got the plans off to the kitchen designer
12:52 pm

12:54 pm

any clues for the y or either e? I am truly stuck and only have 20 words
12:54 pm
crosshair

very nice
12:54 pm
uusue2

y = christmas
12:54 pm
jmcnrick

of course most of my entertaining was for the job which i will no longer have
12:54 pm
rubyfoo

that sounds wonderful, jmc, what will the view be?
12:54 pm
crosshair

the u is a chrstmas word
12:54 pm

12:55 pm

12:55 pm
rubyfoo

I feel much better now, thank you, friends
12:56 pm
uusue2

it does sound lovely, jmc! So presumably you are keeping your house while you do the conflict resolution degree (I am remembering that correctly, I hope?)
12:56 pm
rubyfoo

I had the up, probably because it was in order!
12:56 pm

well since ruby is ignoring crossy i shall head off to work.tc everyone and happy babbling....poink!...none of crossys bacon vodka for ruby...real poink!
12:56 pm

12:56 pm

hi, stid, and bye, crossy! Save some of that bacon vodka for later!
12:57 pm

12:57 pm

12:57 pm

yeah, just took ibuprofen here, lovely day here as well.
12:57 pm

we finally had rain and fruit is starting to form. I'll have strawberries for the first time and my baby lilac is flowering, also for the first time
12:59 pm
Nef

feel better soon, jmc
12:59 pm
stidmama

for NBT I would like the topmost A and the U please?
12:59 pm
rubyfoo

the u is a hairstyle and the a is dog noises
1:00 pm
stidmama

oh, that sounds nice, ruby -- we have had so much rain and cold that nearly everything is delayed. I am pretty certain the plum and the peach trees won't produce much, since they rely on bees for pollination -- and I haven't seen any bees this year!
1:00 pm
stidmama

thanks ruby
1:00 pm
stidmama

that's NBT and down to 24
1:01 pm
rubyfoo

we always get purple plums, but they're nothing special. the yellow ones, mirabelles, however, are amazing but, unfortunately, the tree doesn't produce much
1:01 pm
rubyfoo

last year I only made one jar of yellow jam and didn't share it with anybody
1:01 pm
stidmama

I was thinking of planting a mirabelle next year... or a schoolhouse plum (also yellow, but from Western Washington). We'll see how my energy and finances go.
1:02 pm
rubyfoo

the fig tree is covered with tiny figs, but they usually fall off without ripening; the most I've ever had at one time was about a dozen
1:02 pm
stidmama

some years we have bushels of red plums (a far-east russian variety) -- they make a lovely jam
1:02 pm
rubyfoo

for me, mirabelle and reine claude are the two best ones
1:03 pm
stidmama

we get a good first crop of figs some years, but the season is too short and the second crop hasn't ever made it (in ten years, still hoping though!)
1:03 pm
rubyfoo

and all the neighbors have round reddish ones which are nothing special and they always bring me huge amounts
1:03 pm
stidmama

LOL "rain cloud" would be a good plum for around here!
1:04 pm
rubyfoo

we are marginal for figs but the tree is beautiful and has sort of espaliered itself against the wall in the bottom garden
1:04 pm
rubyfoo

(it sounds grand, but we are on a rather steep hillside)
1:05 pm
stidmama

I like the shape of the figs, planted all three up against the house and they are lovely, though one at the south end has some sort of fungal infection that I know I should have pulled it out years ago.
1:06 pm
rubyfoo

there is stuff here called bouillie bordelaise which might work on the fungus
1:07 pm
rubyfoo

the handyman puts it around all the trees and shrubs and it isn't dangerous for the pups or the insects
1:07 pm
rubyfoo

I think it has copper in it
1:07 pm
stidmama

ah yes, copper sulfate -- not considered an organic solution, but might be worth thinking of. Will have to research its effects on aquatic species since we are so near the sound
1:08 pm
Nef

LOL! I just NOW found the sweetener in the grid! Way too hidden for me to see til now (5 words left)
1:08 pm
rubyfoo

ahah, so that's what it is. He says it's safe for everything
1:08 pm
rubyfoo

ty nef! I didn't see it either
1:08 pm
stidmama

wiki says "L'activité biocide du cuivre est connue depuis longtemps, mais la recette de la bouillie bordelaise semble avoir été découverte par le chimiste bordelais Ulysse Gayon et le botaniste Alexis Millardet au début des années 1880" -- it's been in use for a while!
1:08 pm
stidmama

go nef go! I am down to 16
1:09 pm
Nef

Go, stid go!
1:09 pm
rubyfoo

that is very interesting, stidmama, I am impressed with your french, accent marks and all
1:10 pm
stidmama

cut and paste... I can read about topics I know well without too much trouble.
1:10 pm
stidmama

But to actually use French... not so good.
1:11 pm
rubyfoo

when we moved here, I could speak but couldn't understand TV or movies. Now, it's part of me and I can go back and forth without thinking about it
1:11 pm
uusue2

<---- just happy that she can still read and comprehend
1:11 pm
stidmama

anyway, I am going to go into town and get some large planters for the dozens of bulbs that arrived this week. Still too damp to work the actual soil, and they must be planted tout-suite!
1:11 pm
rubyfoo

with all my husband's health problems, it's been a godsend
1:12 pm
stidmama

before I go ruby -- is he doing better? assume he is home now. are you doing okay?
1:12 pm
rubyfoo

unfortunately, I've increased my vocabulary about things I would rather not know
1:12 pm
rubyfoo

my specialty is "forgetting" about bulbs until they liquify and then throwing them away!
1:13 pm
stidmama

sounds familiar, ruby! I once lost over a dozen dahlias that way
1:13 pm
uusue2

yeah, that happened to me too when I was living in France with my less-than-10-year-old son, ruby, although I suspect it was rather different vocabulary!
1:13 pm
rubyfoo

he is doing better, using his new treadmill, and today was fitted for new hearing aids, so maybe we'll start speaking again!
1:14 pm
uusue2

oh, that would be great, ruby! Glad to hear he is better and that he is using the treadmill!
1:14 pm
stidmama

that will be so nice, ruby (I hope) maybe if he can communicate more readily he will feel more upbeat. anyway, that is what I will hope for you.
1:14 pm
rubyfoo

when John was a baby and we were in Paris, I learned all the French baby songs
1:14 pm
stidmama

(((hugs to all))) au revoir! *poof*
1:14 pm
uusue2

bye, stid!
1:14 pm
rubyfoo

thank you, stidmama, both for your concern and for your best wishes for him
1:15 pm
uusue2

well, think about 8-year-old boys, ruby, I didn't exactly learn baby songs!
1:15 pm
rubyfoo

I think that his daughter's visit helped turn the tide
1:15 pm
uusue2

ah, good for her, ruby. Sounds like good news all around.
1:16 pm
rubyfoo

I can imagine, Sue, we spent 5 months in London when John was 4 and the only place I knew well was the local playground in Regents' Park!
1:16 pm
rubyfoo

I met a lot of nannies
1:17 pm
rubyfoo

while husband worked at the British Museum
1:17 pm
uusue2

I have been to the McDonalds on the Champs Elysees, and it was a lifesaver!
1:17 pm
rubyfoo

too funny!
1:18 pm
uusue2

ah, I was the one working, and was a single mom, so it was rather more complicated. He came along to a lot of things that were not necessarily fascinating for a young child (and was very patient through most of them!)
1:20 pm
rubyfoo

the only years I ever didn't work were John's first and the year we spent in Europe. But as for the marriage, I might as well have been a single mom! hahah
1:22 pm
rubyfoo

bad marriage, good travel package!
1:22 pm
uusue2

yes, my marriage was like that until I made it a reality (one of my better decisions, just should have done it sooner)
1:23 pm
rubyfoo

it was very hard to leave because I had never been on my own
1:23 pm
rubyfoo

lived at home until I married, etc
1:23 pm
uusue2

ah, I had, and should have known better. Never marry for sex :-)
1:24 pm
rubyfoo

I was so attached to my mother that I went to the closest college
1:24 pm
rubyfoo

I did, hahah, ruefully :(
1:24 pm
uusue2

haha, with me it was the other way around - I went to the college that was the farthest away my mother would let me get!
1:24 pm
uusue2

and I had just turned 17 at the time - now I look back and tremble :-)
1:25 pm
rubyfoo

I lived at home and then married a professor
1:25 pm
rubyfoo

just 19
1:26 pm
rubyfoo

by the time I finished school (at 20), I was pregnant
1:26 pm
uusue2

ah, that does happen.
1:26 pm
uusue2

anyway, I think I am going to go take a bath. 7 left but the monkeys need a rest. BBL!

Last update I saw was yourself and Lickety having a 'frank' discussion about moving house..........
4:33 pm
uusue2

yes, mrp, I was reading about your troubles too - hope you are all at least functioning
4:33 pm
mrpresident

i should update my profile, but with pending court case, I can only chat when asked questions
4:33 pm
jesdraggon

last i heard was something about a car bomb...
4:34 pm
uusue2

and your illness - how are you doing? (I assume since it was in the chat it's not a secret)
4:34 pm
mrpresident

we don't want to move from here... and we can't afford to at the moment cause I have to pay a shirtload of money for a lawyer
4:34 pm

Do you know who set the fire, and more importantly, why they did it?
4:36 pm

btw - fireworks!

Hooray Sue.
4:38 pm
mrpresident

my cancer is progressing but curable. I have to go to the obgyno. the Polycyctitis Ovarian Syn is a seperate matter that will be dealt with at the same time.
I called my SIL to find out about the procedures and what it was like for her and she really 'assured' me by saying after the surgery, it felt like she had 'been raped by Freddy Kruger' !! Just what I wanted to hear!! NOT
4:38 pm
mrpresident

on ya sue
4:39 pm
Soodle

Yikes - that was a pretty graphic description! :-(
4:39 pm
uusue2

egads, mrp, sounds awful :-(
4:39 pm
jesdraggon

so comforting of her!
4:40 pm
uusue2

although I have had a complete hysterectomy (including removal of the cervix) and while it took a while to recover it was not horrible.
4:41 pm
jesdraggon

not that it's really my business, uusue, but i was actually talking about this with my mom about 2 weeks ago... why do they take the cervix?
4:42 pm
mrpresident

soodle, we know who is responsible but can't prove it... however, he has publicly told everyone in our small community that I damaged his car and set fire to his rubbish on his driveway before our car was firebombed. He will be sued as he is spreading malicious lies which has led to the damage to our property. He will also be up on charges of harassment and intimidation. I am not going for a PVO, I am going straight to court to get him removed from my life
4:42 pm
jesdraggon

we don't take the cervix when we do a hysterectomy in a dog or cat, and she wasn't sure if they did on her or not, but the last doctor she went to declined to do a vaginal exam/pap because she'd had a hysterectomy... prior doctors have done them since the surgery though...
4:44 pm
uusue2

well, in my case I had a family history of breast and ovarian cancer; growing fibroids and an ovarian cyst made the removal of the fibroids and one ovary necessary and I agreed to have the whole thing taken out so I didn't have to worry about the future (at that point I was having ultrasounds every six months - ovarian cancer is notoriously hard to detect).
4:44 pm
mrpresident

and my lawyer can have all the punitive damages, I don't want this psychos dirty money
4:44 pm
uusue2

I assume the cervix went along with everything else to minimize cancer risk (although it's been almost 10 years and I don't remember all the details)
4:45 pm
uusue2

ah, mrp, that explains why you need a lawyer for what should be a criminal matter :-(
4:45 pm
uusue2

so sorry you are going through all this, mrp!!!!! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
4:46 pm
mrpresident

yes sue... and as he holds a liquor license, his business will be over.
4:46 pm
uusue2

ah, good. As it should be.
4:46 pm
jesdraggon

which totally explains taking the ovaries and uterus... but i would think taking the cervix would shorten the vaginal vault and make sex a bit... less comfortable? and since cervical issues are not typically genetic (that i know of--could be wrong there, though) i just wondered at the reasoning for taking it too.
4:46 pm
Soodle

Good God. Isn't it incredible how nasty human beings can be to each other? It beggars belief.
4:46 pm
mrpresident

We are hoping that he has to sell up and move as the double mortgage on his house and no income and paying punitive damages will force him to
4:48 pm
mrpresident

that you sue! I am absolutely distraught, my life is upside-down. I am barely hanging in there so is good to talk about it

4:49 pm
Soodle

On a much lighter note, a very good friend of mine was recently in hospital for a hysterectomy. When I went into see her, she cheerfully said to me 'Not to worry! They took the carry-cot, but they left the play-pen'. What could I do but ROFL?
4:49 pm
uusue2

dunno, jes, and I haven't noticed any discomfort, so that hasn't been a problem. I'll see if I can find out what the reasoning is (although I don't see that doctor any more, as my insurance has changed)
4:49 pm

Hello Peri :-)

I second what Sue said.... I have often off-loaded on Babble, and I have always received wonderful support. A trouble shared.... and all that :-)
4:53 pm
mrpresident

yesterday was particularly distressing, phone calls with more evidence of this prick wanting to defame me and try to destroy my relationship with the volunteer organisation I am with, and the Association I work for. He put it al in email and made threats to people that would not support him in his attempt to defame me.
4:54 pm
uusue2

well, I assume your friends know you better than that, mrp. People like that often overestimate how much effect they have.
4:54 pm
jesdraggon

in email? brilliant. print that puppy off and keep it! it's so helpful when they are idiotic enough to put their nastiness down in writing
4:55 pm
Soodle

Mr P, Can nothing be done about him. Sureley if there are emails circulating - that is evidence?
4:55 pm
uusue2

(my ex did something like that with people in the church we went to; unfortunately many of them had known him a long time and me not so long; I just don't go there any more)
4:56 pm
mrpresident

the 'prick'... (now his monika) only took the PVO out against me to try and convince people that they should believe him as many community members were starting to doubt him... he 'just had to' make himself look like he was right
4:57 pm
mrpresident

jes, there are emails and they will be provided to my lawyer to help me
4:57 pm
jesdraggon

is a pvo a restraining/distance order?
4:57 pm
Soodle

Whats a PVO MrP?
4:57 pm
mrpresident

and he took the PVO out as a way of further intimidating me
4:58 pm
mrpresident

a PVO is a personal apprehension violence order. He has to prove all his lies in the PVO in court.
4:59 pm
mrpresident

but, you know what has totally screwed him???
4:59 pm
uusue2

what, mrp?
4:59 pm
Soodle

So, along with everything else, he will have perjury thrown at him?
4:59 pm
jesdraggon

his own stupidity, perhaps?
5:00 pm
mrpresident

he accuses my husband of abusing and menacing him, but he didn't take a PVO out against him! just me!! He has been after me since 18th Sept, defamed me, accused me of absolute bulls**t and my lawyer just laughed cause it shows he is targeting me
5:01 pm
mrpresident

he will have to face perjury chargers. That is what will give him a criminal record
5:01 pm
uusue2

ha. so he won't be able to prove anything except his own culpability, sounds like. Good.
5:02 pm
Soodle

All very well for your lawyer to laugh, MrP, but you are having to live with the actions of a madman. My heart goes out to you.

that will be satisfying when it finally happens, mrp. May it happen quickly!
5:02 pm
mrpresident

indeed soodle, and it is so very very uspetting everyday!
5:02 pm
Soodle

Agreed!
5:03 pm
Soodle

What started the animosity off?
5:03 pm
mrpresident

the prick dug his own hole... all he had to do was leave me alone, and his stalking and obsessive behaviour is in email to the whole football committee!
5:05 pm
GreyWoulf

Ugh -- and that goes for both the grid as well as what you are going through, {*mrp*}
5:06 pm
mrpresident

well, his dog, a gorgeous jack russell, was at our house 24/7, getting into our yard and house (trying to get to my dog), chasing my car for 1.5km every day, loose on the streets and we were unable to get the prick to do anything about locking his dog away, which is the law....
THEN
5:07 pm
mrpresident

we called him for weeks... went to see him and talk to him in a very friendly manner, talked to his wife to ask them to please lock their dog away cause it was only around trying to mate with my dog...
you know what his response was??
5:08 pm
uusue2

what, mrp?
5:09 pm
jesdraggon

"That's just what dogs do."
5:09 pm
Soodle

What?
5:09 pm
mrpresident

"next time you see the dog on the road, run it over, kill it... I hate it" and "next time it jumps in your car, drive it down to the Gorge and dump it" and "I don't give a F about the dog... call the council, do whatever yuo want, I don't care"
5:09 pm
jesdraggon

"Leave him be, he'll come home eventually."
5:09 pm
uusue2

egads.
5:10 pm
Soodle

Ah. Clearly a responsible pillar of the community.
5:10 pm
uusue2

none of which you did, presumably! The lunkhead :-(
5:10 pm
jesdraggon

Ah, that kind. They get SO PISSED when you follow through and actually shoot the dog like they tell you to do.
5:10 pm
MollyL

Just read back over chat. Mr. President, I'm so sorry to hear that you are dealing with all this insane behavior.
5:11 pm
Soodle

Hiya Moll.
5:12 pm
mrpresident

so my husband rang him, asked him to come and get his dog off our property, which is half a kilometre from his, and pick up his dog otherwise we would call the council. He said "I don't give a F what you do, do what you want. I don't care about the dog, it isn't my dog, it is my wifes dog." Lickety said come get the dog in the next hour or I am calling the council. He didn't so the ranger picked up the dog
5:14 pm
uusue2

hi, molly!
5:14 pm
uusue2

and sigh, mrp, what a nutcase!
5:15 pm
LeslieAnn

5:16 pm
Soodle

Its bed-time for this particular bonzo. MrP, you got a heck of a lot going on there, I wish you well. (Still bewildered about how nasty folk can be to each other...) Good night everybody. Poof
5:16 pm
uusue2

pretty impressive, eh, leslie?
5:16 pm
MollyL

Sweet dreams Soodle.
5:16 pm

5:19 pm

How are you feeling Sue?
5:22 pm
mrpresident

I then got the most threatening phonecall at about 5pm that same day from the prick.... "you f'ing b****, you have cost me over $650. I am going to f'ing get you, you better watch your back... etc etc".
5:22 pm
mrpresident

5:27 pm
Nef

Thanks LA
5:30 pm
Nef

mrp; reading back; the guy sounds postal! He has a wife? What did she say about the dog? If this guy is such a jerk to you; I wonder if he is this abusive to her too?
5:30 pm
jesdraggon

hi nef
5:30 pm
Nef

hi jes. How's it going?
5:31 pm
jesdraggon

5:33 pm
Nef

LOL, LA! Now THAT would be scary!
5:33 pm
jesdraggon

heh :)
5:34 pm
Nef

I think that would just aboutkill me if they were pregnant. His wife is certifiably crazy
5:35 pm
LeslieAnn

no not they are pregnant. HE is pregnant.
5:35 pm
Nef

Yeah, that would be worse, LA
5:35 pm
LeslieAnn

haha
5:36 pm
Nef

his wife would probably accuse him of fooling around or something!
5:36 pm
jesdraggon

*snerk*
5:39 pm
Nef

Well, I need to go get the cake before we leave for my daughter's roller derby bout. she wants us there early since she's in the first round (or whatever it's called)
5:39 pm

6:26 pm
Minveryork

Here is a story of clues for those who ne 4/5 it. I will not de 4/7 the fact that I am totally addicted to this game.I babble everyday. I use the list to help gu5/18 me through the grid. Even when I am done I can't pe 4/5 my eyes away from the grid. My babble addiction puts my hubby into a ra4/6. Hubby ra5/16 about last night as I was babbling.Husband was so unru4/7 that I ended up closing office door & locking it. I think we should come up w/game ru4/5s for me & my husband I am going to go fe4/7 myself some dinner and watch the ep 4/6 Gone with the Wind. I will be back later on

6:31 pm

6:31 pm

William Martin writes great historical fiction. In one of his books ("Cape Cod") there was a chapter entitled "Comeuppance". It dealt with a woman in early colonial times who was writing about emancipation from England.
6:41 pm
uusue2

I'll have to check that out, molly (over the summer...)

6:43 pm

He's a great writer Sue. His description of what it was like for people to travel here on The Mayflower is well done (if not somewhat nauseating). I never realized what sea travel must have been like in those times.

hi again, all! Back from the dance concert...
9:56 pm
Jacula

I was left in peace to get on with the grid (since my family know how fiercely I defend my Babble time) and so finished it many hours ago, without listing until about 5 were left. I wish the family were so understanding when I'm trying to write. Writing possibly brings money in. Babbling doesn't!
9:57 pm
Jacula

That's 5 words, not 5 hours, btw.
9:58 pm
Jacula

If I'm sitting at my computer or poring over reams of notes with a pen in my hand, it seems I'm 'doing nothing' and so fair game to talk to. However, I should be glad they want to talk to me.
10:00 pm
Jacula

People who don't 'write', don't seem to realise how easily the long train of thought is broken if it's interrupted before it's written down. In my teens, 20s and 30s I could 'wind back' and recover my thoughts. It's not so eeasy now I'm in my 50s and my brain is getting overloaded.
10:03 pm
Jacula

Having grown up reading a cartoon strip called 'The Numskulls' in Beano magazine, I've always thought of my brain as being full of steps, stairs, lots and lots of filing cabinets, and little people scurrying from department to department to find what it is I need to know. LOL
10:04 pm
Jacula

The older I get, the older the little people get and the fuller the filing cabinets get. Have to allow young trainees in sometimes, who can whizz up and down the stairs faster.
10:06 pm
Jacula

If anyone needs clues, just ask.
10:06 pm
uusue2

hi, jac! interesting thoughts about writing!
10:07 pm
uusue2

(I'm done too)
10:08 pm
Jacula

Hi uusue. Not just about writing, but about remembering things in general. Once, I could reel off the English and the Latin names of plants.(I'm a keen gardener.) These days, I'm lucky if I can remember either without about half an hour to think about it.:-(
10:09 pm
Jacula

Congrats on finishing, uusue.
10:12 pm
Jacula

Well, 10 mins for anyone else to ask for clues.
10:13 pm
uusue2

well, I know what you mean, jac, I have more trouble remembering things than I used to also :-(
10:17 pm
Jacula

uusue - have you checked my bio for the Royal Wedding photo?
10:18 pm
uusue2

I have, Jac - although for some reason Babble Expert shows me the old icon
10:19 pm
Jacula

Press F5 to refresh, uusue.
10:19 pm
uusue2

good thing you wrote in the speech bubbles, tho, because I can't really see them - pretty funny picture!

nope, still get the old ones (new ones show up if I open Babble with my browser). Maybe they will refresh after the flip.

I watched it. Wasn't going to, but in the end, remembering how much Diana loved her boys, I had to. Do have to say, I thought it was a lovely serrvice, much more modern and less stiff Royal than in the past. If the Palace Paragons and the Press Poisoners leave them alone, I think they'll be fine. Good luck to them, I say!

Yes, they should, but Charles and Diana's was doomed from the moment when Charles said, after beingm asked if he was in love, 'Whatever love is!' I saw Diana's eyes die then.

She did, too! Plain and simple gown with some lace. With a face, figure and hair like hers she needed no more adornment.
