OK -- this is why. The desktop had IE 9 installed, and the laptop had IE 8, which worked just fine. The techie (from Electronic Ark, flosey) figured it out and put IE 8 on the desktop. Bingo. It seems IE 9 is buggy.

morning all or good nite to some - i am sorry to burden you but i have had some terrible news - the police found my niece dead in her flat - she was only 20 years old and i am quite devastated even though we havent been in touch recently

1:51 am

flosey

oh Kazz, how terrible

1:51 am

mrpresident

yes ruru, he went to doc, she gave him a script for antibiotics and he ignored it... so I took it to the chemist, asked them to fill it out, brought it home and threatened him with death! He is now on antibiotics and feeling much much better! Hasn't had to have any flu meds since this morning :))

1:51 am

rururocks

oh wow kazz 20?

1:52 am

joey

I am so sorry to hear that - my good thoughts are with you

1:56 am

Kazzer99

we dont know yet - she hadnt been seen for 2 weeks so we dont even know how long she had been dead. my poor sister is in shock. My other niece phoned me yesterday evening. She suffered from ADhs when she was young and had a mild form of epilepsy as well as something that made her tell terrible lies about people but she had a social carer - no a social worker but someone who checked on her every now and then and she had been on holiday and when she got back she couldnt reach here so called the olice but that's all I know for now

1:57 am

flosey

so sad, Kazz, thoughts and prayers with you and family

1:58 am

mrpresident

how devastating! so sorry they didn't have another social carer in place... are you ok??

1:59 am

Kazzer99

thanks all - i am hoping that Mum and Dad will be okay - my sister is telling them today - she didnt want to tell them last night

2:00 am

We love you kazz, and will be including you in our prayers

How is the little one?

Still on a ventilator---slight improvement yesterday. It is hard to be patient. We want her better now!

6:19 am

herinfernallady

Was she the little one that was sick awhile ago?

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Yes, similar episode in Dec--she was able to get off the ventilator in 7 days. So far 15 days with this respiratory infection.

6:20 am

herinfernallady

Aloyisius

hi moshemoo, hi Babblers.. mosh, I think some kitty out there would be lucky to have you adopt him/her

7:19 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody else. I am so annoyed! My cousin, whome I haven't seen in about 30 years, was supposed to arrive by train in Annecy an hour ago. I was early, found the proper quai (the station is under construction), went back and forth 4 times to my illegally parked car, and NOTHING! I don't know if she missed her connection in Chambery, but I am fit to be ti** plus ti****!

7:19 am

moshemoo

I have took to pet minding my colleagues pets whilst they are on vaction so that helps. Cheers Aloy

7:20 am

rubyfoo

dear moshe, I hope there is a kitty with your name on him, waiting to be adopted!

7:20 am

rubyfoo

I am not used to either driving or walking that much and I am wiped out!

7:21 am

Riverdance

Good Morning Everyone (((Ruby))

7:21 am

rubyfoo

we went to so much trouble to have everything absolutely perfect for her arrival -- even ordered great weather!

7:21 am

rubyfoo

7:21 am

Aloyisius

ah, ruby.. you two needed cell phones! sorry you went through such a harrowing experience

7:21 am

herinfernallady

Hi I have to resort to iPhone the cat is on my lap. Thank fully I have wireless

7:22 am

uusue2

7:22 am

uusue2

7:22 am

7:22 am

rubyfoo

7:22 am

Aloyisius

7:22 am

Riverdance

deep breath ruby....all will be fine

7:22 am

moshemoo

7:23 am

Aloyisius

7:23 am

herinfernallady

Cat owns me tonight. Hugs back. Little hard on a tiny screen.

herinfernallady

Nope no Bellas top or bottom sbplee

7:28 am

moshemoo

7:28 am

rubyfoo

could use some right about now

7:30 am

JBV

here's how my day is shaping up - I have a load of clothes in the dryer that has gone through 3 dry cycles and is still wet - so I guess I'm going to be shopping for a new dryer....

7:30 am

herinfernallady

Mosh your kitty looks like one of mine.

7:31 am

moshemoo

she used to sit there when i was on the computer Herin

7:31 am

herinfernallady

ToP or bottom s please for the ten

7:31 am

JBV

7:32 am

Riverdance

se10 is also a style of jewelry

7:32 am

Mom

Hi everyone

7:32 am

Riverdance

bottom s herin

7:32 am

rubyfoo

hi mom

7:32 am

JBV

hi Mom!

7:32 am

Riverdance

good morning ((Mom))

7:33 am

herinfernallady

Aww mosh. I may have missed the story as I can't scan back

7:33 am

Mom

((JBV)) my dryer does that sometimes and I take it off one setting and put it on another and it worked.

7:33 am

Mom

Good morning ((River, Herin, Ruby)) so good to see all of you

7:33 am

herinfernallady

Hi

7:34 am

Mom

HI Mosh

7:34 am

JBV

thanks, Mom , but this has been going on for a while, I've just tried to ignore it - ... with light loads it's manageable, but today my son put some jeans and sweatshirts in and it's no good

7:34 am

Mom

sorry to hear that, JBV

7:34 am

moshemoo

its ok herin, she had cancer and she had to be put to sleep, she was my little spider catcher lol hello mom

7:34 am

JBV

I just hate shopping for appliances and such - so unpleasant

7:35 am

Riverdance

with 63 words left I still dont have NBT or NBS - ugh!

7:35 am

rubyfoo

did she crunch the spiders with their legs hanging out of her mouth?

7:35 am

Riverdance

and so costly JBV

7:35 am

JBV

well, I'm not going for the super industrial strength big red monster dryers that are out there, just hoping to get one like the one I have - normal size

7:36 am

herinfernallady

I still can't get that ten never mond

7:36 am

Riverdance

ah. finally NBT

7:36 am

jmbdobie2

JBV - first check your vent to outside. I paid $68 to have someone go outside and remove a huge waffle shaped lint beast!

7:36 am

JBV

I'm screwing up my strength - I managed to oversee the furnace replacement project, so this is a piece of cake

7:36 am

JBV

oh, good idea, jmb!

7:36 am

moshemoo

she used to kill them with her paws Ruby and eat them if i didnt stop her

7:36 am

jmbdobie2

i had the same problem

7:37 am

Riverdance

herin - start with a snake and finish with a fork part

7:37 am

Mom

Hi jmb

7:37 am

herinfernallady

Check you lint filter. It is a fire trap

7:37 am

JBV

another good idea! - I always clean the lint filter after each load but who knows what remains down there where you can't see

7:37 am

jmbdobie2

hi all!

7:37 am

MollyL

JBV, how old is the dryer? I agree with the previous comment. It could just be a lint beast stuck in the ventilation.

7:38 am

rubyfoo

eating spiders, jmb?

7:38 am

JBV

maybe 15 years or so.... but my washer is 24 years old and so far no problem (I shouldn't have said that so loud)

7:38 am

Mom

Hi Molly

7:38 am

rubyfoo

hello molly

7:39 am

Riverdance

lucky to get 5-7 years out of the newer models...sad to say

7:39 am

rubyfoo

nitty

7:39 am

jmbdobie2

the repairman i had said you would not believe how many dryer repair calls are the result of the big beastie!

7:39 am

rubyfoo

sorry

7:39 am

Mom

thanks Ruby

7:39 am

rubyfoo

I was trying to get a spider out of my teeth!

7:39 am

herinfernallady

Thank you. Have you seen the fly ash lint remover thing?

7:39 am

JBV

that's very depressing, river - about the 5-7 years I mean

7:39 am

Mom

We have had our Maytag washer and dryer for 28 years now

7:40 am

JBV

you mean a special curved brush? I don't have one

7:40 am

jmbdobie2

no spiders eaten here except for the number snapple says you eat during your lifetime while sleeping

7:40 am

Riverdance

thats what the repair man told me last time we had him in to fix our dryer - it was less than 5 years old too

7:40 am

herinfernallady

Flylady has lint remover kits thinking of something like that

7:40 am

Mom

Thankfully my sweetie has been able to fix anything that has acted up on them

7:40 am

Mom

ooohhh love the Flylady

7:40 am

rubyfoo

when we moved here, 13 yrs ago, we bought Miele washer and dryer, thinking they were the best. Have already replaced the dryer after having it repaired twice. And the washer is on its last legs, has to be babies along

7:41 am

Riverdance

our first set - Kenmore - lasted almost 20 years...we have had more probllems with the new front loader than we had over those 20 years

7:41 am

jmbdobie2

off to work. bbl

7:41 am

herinfernallady

I have no idea about the product as I don't have a dryer

7:41 am

Mom

bye bye jmb, have a good day

7:41 am

rubyfoo

I never heard of an American washer or dryer breaking down

7:41 am

Riverdance

bye jmb - have a good day

7:42 am

Mom

oh JBV, what a mess. Do you have a line in the basement? I had sweetie put two up for me when we moved

7:42 am

JBV

I've thought about it but I would have to move my washer (to where? I don't know) as I can't carry a load of wet laundry up from the basement

7:43 am

Riverdance

7:43 am

Aloyisius

back with coffee and .. agree that modern appliances are not made to last like the old ones, sigh.. they rust quickly and parts like gaskets rot - very disappointing as repair is expensive. hi crossy

7:43 am

JBV

no, it's OK- the worst thing would be to load it up and take it to the laundromat nearby

7:43 am

Mom

7:51 am

crosshair

that bothers me as well eva and people who talk with mouthfuls of food

7:52 am

rubyfoo

I agree, EvaN, disgusting; it would drive me crazy, too. What about people chewing ice cubes?

7:52 am

rubyfoo

I think that is listed as grounds for divorce

7:52 am

Mom

*hangs head, I chew ice but never in public*

7:52 am

EvaNadine

i actually chew in ice cubes once in a blue moon...heh
but this guy, its like i can hear all the moisture in his mouth. and i can hear his lips smacking together...

7:53 am

rubyfoo

bad for your teeth, naughty mom!

7:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

I just swallowed too fast.

7:53 am

Aloyisius

hi Eva - good strategy, glad you have some earbuds, hopefully attached to a radio playing soothing music

7:53 am

7:53 am

rubyfoo

7:53 am

Mom

7:54 am

Mom

I once read it was a sign of an iron deficiency. Don't know if it is true or not

7:54 am

rubyfoo

that's what my mother always said; I'm not really sure if it's true, just teasing you!

7:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hello there , Frenchie!

7:54 am

Mom

the chunks I chew are the small ones I don't want to through down the drain

7:54 am

rubyfoo

7:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's worse when people chew things that arent even food.

7:54 am

Riverdance

7:55 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, guilty there, bite my nails.... hanging head!

7:55 am

jmcnrick

7:56 am

Mom

7:56 am

EvaNadine

this guy also chews on his nails all day long.
now, im a former nail-biter, so i guess i cant really complain, but i see him with his fingers knuckle-deep in his mouth for most of the day!

7:56 am

rubyfoo

I wouldn't eat liver until I grew up; my mother's liver was like shoe leather

7:56 am

jmcnrick

i used to buy heart and grind for a cheap alternative to ground beef

7:57 am

Mom

better than his nose, Eva

7:57 am

Aloyisius

8:01 am

Mom

8:02 am

jmcnrick

8:02 am

jmcnrick

drip

8:02 am

Mom

three letter word for before + not cursive and plural

8:02 am

jmcnrick

sorry the cat distracted me

8:02 am

Mom

thanks jmc that gave me a couple of words

8:03 am

jmcnrick

glad to help out

8:03 am

Mom

4 to be exact

8:04 am

jmcnrick

hmmm i only got 2 *looking*

8:04 am

Mom

they all work off the word you posted

8:04 am

EvaNadine

so, at the caf this morning, i bought a bagel, a bottle of green tea, and a little cup with carrot + celery sticks with a thing of ranch dressing.

now, i know the tea cost $2-3 and the bagel cost a little over $1. my total was $9.

8:05 am

Mom

got the other 9 as well eq 8/65 and eq 9/84

8:05 am

Mom

oh good Lord, Eva, that is robbery

8:05 am

EvaNadine

thats like $4-5 for carrots + celery!

8:06 am

jmcnrick

that is why i pack a lunch nearly every day

8:06 am

Mom

maybe they rang it up wrong. Perhaps you should go check into it

8:06 am

jmcnrick

i bet it is right

8:07 am

jmcnrick

you buy an apple downtown and it costs $2

8:07 am

EvaNadine

sadly, i now know it is right.
wont be buying that there again!

8:08 am

EvaNadine

i can buy the same thing in our little shop for maybe $2.
or, as jmc said, just start bringing my own.

8:09 am

MollyL

JMC, how are you feeling today? Eva, those prices are obscene.

8:10 am

jmcnrick

when my sister worked at the Washington Post she would get a whole lunch for $5 but now she is elsewhere and has found that bringing her lunch pays off

8:10 am

jmcnrick

fine molly, i will be leaving for work as soon as the silly housekeeper gets here

8:11 am

EvaNadine

i usually do try to bring leftovers for lunch. i simply forgot today... will be buying again!
AND it looks like ihave to eat early, as i have meetings at 12 and 1!

8:11 am

jmcnrick

bummer evan

8:12 am

jmcnrick

if i forget i figure i might as well go out to somewhere decent and have a light supper

8:12 am

hurshy

got the 9's and most of the 8's, but no sign of the 10... what does it start with?

8:12 am

Mom

se Hurshy and hello

8:12 am

pabtrek

se hurshy

8:12 am

jmcnrick

hi hursh

8:12 am

Mom

Hi pabtrek

8:13 am

hurshy

from the top or the bottom?

8:13 am

jmcnrick

hi pab

8:13 am

pabtrek

from the bottom

8:13 am

Mom

bottom

8:13 am

EvaNadine

jmc -- i usually either get cheap takeout from somewhere in chinatown or try to go somewhere that serves large portions, so i can save half for tomorrows lunch. i figure at least then it justifies the cost a little better...

8:13 am

pabtrek

hi Mom, jmc, and everyone

8:13 am

jmcnrick

chinatown is too far for me but that makes sense

8:15 am

jmcnrick

the few cheap places near me are gone -- dupont circle cheap is chipotle

8:15 am

jmcnrick

i feel sorry for my interns

8:16 am

EvaNadine

its true. but there are some hole-in-the-wall places, still, arent there? i find some of the places you might at first be afraid to try often end up being quite good

8:16 am

suefrad625

8:17 am

suefrad625

I have the se8, is that where the 10 comes from

8:17 am

jmcnrick

Mom

Hi Sue, yes ... and the prongs of a fork

8:17 am

suefrad625

I also have the eq8/55, but cant find the 9, am I blind?

8:17 am

jmcnrick

no that is the problem the hole in the wall places are all places for chains or tourists

8:18 am

Mom

Sue, there is an eq 8/55 and the 9 is the plural of it

8:18 am

Mom

Sue, I think I told you wrong, the 10 comes off the se 7/32. sorry

8:18 am

suefrad625

is it the eq8 - askes one?

8:19 am

EvaNadine

thats sad, jmc. i love checking out hidden treasures.
when all else fails, i resort to our hot dog vendors...heh

8:19 am

jmcnrick

pl the eq8 sue

8:20 am

jmcnrick

i wish they are all gone here too--dupont circle is so different from 30 years ago

8:20 am

jmcnrick

a half smoke all the way please

8:20 am

suefrad625

I must be blind, but now I have the askes and the asked and still cant see the 9

8:20 am

8:21 am

mixi6

8:21 am

EvaNadine

i love the dupont area, but i admit i am not very familiar with it. we were just there last week, at madhatters...heh

8:21 am

jmcnrick

that would appear to be en not eq but i may be confused again

8:22 am

crosshair

eva..reading back on your caf purchace.using that as an average,and assuming you go only once per day,you spend tween $250-$350 a month on caf food

8:22 am

jmcnrick

no it is still a fun place but not the eclectic enclave it used to be

8:22 am

Mom

I am screwing up cluing so off I go.

8:22 am

Mom

Have a good day all of you. ((Hugs))

8:22 am

jmcnrick

8:23 am

jmcnrick

jbv we probably feed the pigeons together then

8:23 am

EvaNadine

crossy, i dont go everyday. and i rarely ever spent that much. today was an anomoly.

8:23 am

suefrad625

8:23 am

jmcnrick

i was working at a hippy law office south of the circle on N st then

8:24 am

JBV

I worked at NIE (US Dept of HEW, then, ED) and I think the office was on 17 & M

8:24 am

JBV

8:27 am

jmcnrick

my feminist dream come true--I walk into the office and tell my male subordinate to make me some coffee!

8:27 am

JBV

but my heart belongs to NYC so if I were going to move toward a city it would be that one

8:27 am

jmcnrick

you could stay with me for a visit while you interview

8:27 am

JBV

oh no, no more interviews - I'm happily retired, remember? :)

8:28 am

JBV

but thank you very much for the offer

8:28 am

I had a friend in college who baked Ex-Lax brownies for a guy who had cheated on her (he didn't know she knew) and sent them with him on a basketball team road trip. Think about four guys with the runs and that tiny bus bathroom.

"pr***" is the nicest possible word for this guy.

crossy, I so enjoy laughing and chatting with friends infront of his play of business... it shows him I don't give a flying F about him and there are more important things in life. Mind you, it is always coincidental that I meet up with my friends outside his business... and they are keen to talk to me there... I don't direct the conversation of meeting... it just happens

nan, his lawyer saw my evidence and told him to stop or he would be paying out $20K, cause he had no evidence of what he was saying, whereas I had evidence contradicting him. He is telling people he 'let me off'.... (what a load of shite) and he asked us to go to mediation (infront of another Magistrate). That magistrate will then make suggestions to get him off my back.

9:51 am

mrpresident

hello Haz

9:52 am

glad to hear things are finally going your way mrp. Hope that is continues to go that way.

Hopefully that will put a stop to it, mrp -- sounds like the magistrate should order him to take psychiatric treatment.

9:55 am

mrpresident

but, can you believe this??
Pr*** asked for an interim PVO until the mediation!! The judge laughed at him and told him to pull his head in and get on with his life and let go of it.

9:55 am

mrpresident

in judge language of course!

9:55 am

afternoon babblers.
currently sitting on a conference call training session.
fun times!

12:13 pm

MollyL

And what, pray tell, are you being trained for Eva?

12:14 pm

searcher

yeehah! got the 10 w/o stats!

12:14 pm

EvaNadine

privacy.

12:16 pm

MollyL

That's kind of funny. A conference call training session on privacy. : D

12:17 pm

Kazzer99

just read your profile Molly - keep going and be strong for yourself.

12:17 pm

EvaNadine

well, you have to have the URL for the private website, the phone number for the conference call, and the passcode for the conference call...
all very private. ;)

12:17 pm

wht

Enjoy your call, Eva. Back to work for me.

12:17 pm

MollyL

Thanks Kazz. I was sorry to read of your loss this morning. Prayers out for you and your family.

12:18 pm

Kazzer99

thnks Molly - we wont know more till friday morning when the post motem and inquest have been held

12:19 pm

Kazzer99

i think its worsecos today is my sisters birthday

12:19 pm

Gadget

How come I can't get a single bottom S? Are they obscure?

12:19 pm

MollyL

That kind of waiting is very hard. Bless your sister, what a terrible loss to suffer on her birthday.

12:19 pm

searcher

they are big words gadget!

12:19 pm

Kallia

so sorry to hear about your niece Kaz. Read it this morning, but you went just as I got on line

12:20 pm

Kazzer99

gadget - think of little bits of flashy things on clothes

12:20 pm

MollyL

Gadget, think of what tempted Eve in the garden of Eden.

12:20 pm

searcher

and snakes!

12:20 pm

Kazzer99

thats nice Kalia - bloody great shock at the cost of funerals - Â£3,5k for absolute basic affair

12:21 pm

Gadget

Ahhh! Thanks!

12:21 pm

Kallia

wow, that is incredible. No idea they are so expensive!

12:21 pm

Kazzer99

i have decided taht i will have to save for mine as well

12:22 pm

MollyL

I was told that a lot of people have to take out loans to pay for funerals, as funeral homes will not wait on life insurance pay offs.

12:22 pm

Kallia

Well my Mum taking out a funeral plan doesn't sound so crazy now!

12:23 pm

Kallia

not everyone has life insurance either

12:23 pm

Kazzer99

well there wont be any of that sort of money - sis can get Â£700 from the Department of works and pension and as they are both on benefits or low wage i think the city council will have to pay the rest

12:24 pm

Kazzer99

none of the family has any money behind them - always needed it to pay for living - never thought abouth dying

12:24 pm

Kallia

I didn't know you got any money...is that for everyone Kaz?

12:24 pm

Kallia

anyone know what the 10 starts with please?

12:24 pm

Kazzer99

if you are on low income and the person who died was as well or on benefits then you can get it but the cheapo funeral wants dosh up front

12:25 pm

Kallia

sad that they have that to worry about as well

12:25 pm

Kazzer99

you can do it yourself - but the cremation alone is Â£660

12:27 pm

MollyL

The 10 starts with se

12:27 pm

Kazzer99

i havent go the 10 yet

12:27 pm

Kallia

ty Molly I have to look harder :)

12:28 pm

MollyL

It starts at the bottom, and is very twisty, which is a clue in itself.

12:28 pm

Kazzer99

thx Molly

12:29 pm

Kallia

thx Molly got it

12:29 pm

EvaNadine

good thing i have this training call on mute.
its just so fascinating, i can hardly keep quiet!

12:29 pm

EvaNadine

or, maybe its because its so dull that i might be snoring...

12:29 pm

EvaNadine

one of those.

12:29 pm

Kallia

hubby home, must go see to dinner back later

12:30 pm

Kazzer99

see ya Kalia - mine will be back soon as well so i might have to do some as well

12:31 pm

MollyL

I often wonder about the people who make those training videos. Are they unaware of how completely boring they are?

12:32 pm

Kazzer99

must go and see to some tea back later with 61 to go

12:33 pm

EvaNadine

this isnt a video.
there are actual people presenting on the other end of the phone.
and we can see the slides they are presenting...

12:39 pm

crosshair

they do wonderful cremation services now my F.I.L had cremation,a service,the urn and a donation made on his behalf all for $1600.00 CAD was very nice

12:39 pm

sadie52

Hello Everyone

12:39 pm

sadie52

:)

12:39 pm

crosshair

i will have the wife do the same to me,i will not affront the earth with my rotting carcass and buy a 3000 dollar wooden box just so it can rot

12:41 pm

crosshair

what i did not know is that each urn with cremated remains come with a card and a serial number.this number may be required if at some future date you wish the askes set to the four winds or buried

12:41 pm

crosshair

ashes

12:41 pm

MollyL

Hi Sadie.

12:42 pm

MollyL

Those tags in cremated remains can be removed. If you want to scatter ashes in a place that might have a problem with it.

12:42 pm

sadie52

hiya Molly

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

gd evening everybody. I am still waiting for my cousin and her daughter who missed their connection for the train to Annecy and wound up in Lyon. If (when) they call from the station, I'll tell them to take a cab. Enough is enough

12:42 pm

crosshair

most do not tell anyways,just do it,my godfathers remains were jist set free over a particular lake that he loved

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

husband wants his ashes buried in the garden with the dogs

12:43 pm

crosshair

my wifes grandmothers ashes were mixed with soil and a rose bush planted

12:44 pm

crosshair

her name was indeed rosie;)

12:44 pm

MollyL

Private property is no problem. Public land is different, and if the tag is found, it can be traced back to the recipient of the remains.

12:44 pm

crosshair

well you do not leave the tag laying around lol

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

God planted "bear garlic" on the pups' graves and it's very beautiful

12:45 pm

MollyL

I have no idea why there is such resistance to ashes being scattered on public land. They are just ashes.

12:45 pm

crosshair

i agree,like i say,most just do it anyways and bring the urn home

12:46 pm

MollyL

With so many people resorting to cremation because of cost, I won't be surprised to see more "scattering areas" crop up.

12:47 pm

crosshair

lol,we have algonquin part up here.thens of thousands of miles of nothing but lakes,rivers,islands and woods..not too hard to find a place to set a loved one free

12:49 pm

crosshair

go to north bay..call louzon airways and rent a float plane and in 30 minutes you can be on a pocket lake in the middle of 5000 mile of bush

12:50 pm

crosshair

sigh...beautiful place it tis...

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

most people scatter cremains without legal permission as i did with my husbands--the cemetery lobby i suspect have a lot to do with it

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

but to be clear, they are a lot lumpier than paper or wood ashes

12:53 pm

jmcnrick

the advantage to cemeteries is that they help preserve open spaces in cities

12:53 pm

crosshair

they are.the 2 that i have seen are about 2 pounds of bone/ash in a large poly bag

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

in London, sometimes there are playgrounds in old cemeteries -- green space is green space

12:55 pm

crosshair

we have a lovely arboredum(sp) here with many tree and flower planted and donated in the memory of loved ones,and it is entirely situated over the original town dump

12:56 pm

MollyL

Oh JMC, of course. I never thought of the cemetery lobby being behind all the restrictions. I scattered my husband's ashes by a lake. It was not technically a "legal" place to do it, so I did it on a day that it was raining.

12:57 pm

crosshair

i shall put my loved ones ashes wherever the heck i wish we have enough crown land up here to lose a million people in..if someone has an issue with it.too bad

1:08 pm

Ouwachita

any clue for the pr8 ? ...I assume the pr9 is either the plural or the past tense

1:09 pm

Ouwachita

nevermind...I got it

1:10 pm

mine husbands ashes are among the roses at the Meeting House where we were married

origami

I scattered my mother's and husband's ashes off a beach in Oregon. Hung onto them for about ten years which was beginning to feel a little ghoulish. They didn't get along that well. I scattered them together. That'll teach them, dying on me within a few months of one another.

1:20 pm

EvaNadine

my parents too kmy grandmothers ashes back to england + spread them over the Thames

1:22 pm

MollyL

Origami, sorry to hear that. One loss is hard enough. Two in a few months is very hard to bear.

1:24 pm

origami

Thanks Molly. My sister died during the same time as well. And, I still have my son's ashes to deal with, but I can't do that quite yet. This life has been about loss :-(

1:25 pm

MollyL

Whoever said "God never gives a person more than they can handle" is a big fat liar.

1:27 pm

MollyL

Bless you Origami. I find it extremely unfair that one person should have to endure so much loss at once.

1:30 pm

jmcnrick

i am so sorry origami -- sounds really rough

1:31 pm

jmcnrick

my brother died within a year of my husband but I didn't like my brother so it was mainly hard on my mother

1:33 pm

MollyL

Ah, one of my favorite song writers is in the grid. *She was a level headed dance, on the road to alcohol*

1:33 pm

jmcnrick

and i will tell you Molly time does help--it has been since 1993 when my husband died and while i miss him (and still occasionally get mad at him for dieing) it is not anywhere near as sharp as it once was

1:33 pm

MollyL

*dancer

1:34 pm

origami

Thanks guys. And I agree with what you said about what folks can handle Molly. It was a very tough time because my father and other sister had died when I was younger, so it felt like a lot more than I could endure at the time.

1:34 pm

jmcnrick

:-) sounds like he was writing about me

1:34 pm

so sorry for all of your losses, origami, do you have any family left?

1:38 pm

I am glad you are surrounded by friends outside of babbleland

1:40 pm

jmcnrick

okay i must call the Maryland tax people and find out why they are mad at me this week

1:40 pm

MollyL

The hootchie-coo is what topless ladies in bar rooms dance. Apparently I am the only one here who knows of John Prine.

1:40 pm

butlers should keep their mouths shut about their employers

5:36 pm

jmcnrick

*recalling some outdoor romps from yesteryear*

I remember after Dan died, thinking that I needed to do something different on the computer. So much of what I do computer wise is related to his work, since he was a web site designer. So I started playing Babble again. This place has been a constant source of community and laughter for me in the past year. I'm grateful for that.

7:15 pm

Yi6/30! I have finished the en5/10 grid, even though it was not very ti 4/6. I feel re7/40d to do a story of clues because the grid was not easy. I do not usually listen to the ne4/8, but it pi 6/33 my interest when I heard Osama Bin Laden had been captured and killed The ne4/8 sw5/20 through the nation at rapid speed But now it ir 4/4 me how people do not really think it was Bin Laden.I mean that's just ne5/10!I think they are ni5/14 for questioning it. Now some are going to en7/40 about what they really did with the body.I do believe it was Bin Laden who they found pe 4/5 up in that compound. I do not think many will we4/9 and pi 4/5 over his death or pi 4/7 him for the way he died. If any tears are we 4/9, they'll be tears of joy. Bush and Obama have tr 5/12 hard to get him for several years and it finally happened. It will be interesting to see what will be pr5/12ed about this in ne4/8papers. I commend the Navy Seals who were well eq 5/18ped before raiding the compund. Now that Al Qeuida has been st5/12ped of their leader,I hope they do not st 4/4 up trouble because of this. My hubby is ti5/12 of waiting for the computer and would like to acqu5/16 the computer from me now. Now I am going to qu4/7 babbling. I'm going to go watch "The Se 7/32 and the Rainbow", a movie I re4/4ed. Then I'm going to go pr 4/6are myself for bed&goto sleep.I hope you have se 4/4 more words with this story of clues. Goodnight all

The en 7/28 word is plural of the en 6/18 word Minski

if you wish to copy mins long story to note pad,you may have to hit the word wrap function for it to display correctly

8:59 pm

Minveryork

You can also copy it into a word document if needed.

8:59 pm

crosshair

indeed

9:00 pm

Minski

That's the oddity on my word list. I have the en6 that means main course but it is scored as an en7/24. the corresponding en7 is scored as an en7/28. odd and it isn't counting.

9:00 pm

Minveryork

It is also in profile, so if I am in your my friends list it is easily accessible.Sprite is in my friends list so I can get the daily icon themes easily.

9:33 pm

shooshoo

and try to read the collection called 'golden apples of the sun"

9:45 pm

joey

I have never heard of those.

9:47 pm

crosshair

both amazing books and if you need a copy of "flowers for algernon ,i can supply it to you in e-book format so you can read it on computer or e-book reader if you have one

9:47 pm

joey

I am haunted by a short story that I read many many years ago, about a bunch of highly intelligent children who were being taught in a special school and lived in a universe about a second off from everyone else. It was in an anthology. have searched every which way.

9:47 pm

crosshair

it was made into a movie called 'charlie" in the 80,s

9:48 pm

joey

I read flowers for algernon years ago, many years ago. i just got a kindle - yesterday - can it be transferred to that?

9:48 pm

crosshair

you want to be haunted??? find a short story called "the cold equasions" by tom goodwin..was a movie also

9:49 pm

crosshair

a kindle is too proprietary..i wish you had gotten a sny or a nook

9:49 pm

crosshair

sony

9:50 pm

crosshair

i have over 500 books if only you had not chosen a kindle

9:51 pm

joey

I got a sony reader about 3 years ago. My computer is dial up, 5 years old and slower than molasses. When I read about the new kindle where you don't even need a computer I jumped on it.

9:51 pm

joey

500 on your portable?

9:51 pm

crosshair

i think i can do flowers in html..but epib is netter..and kindle does not support it

9:51 pm

crosshair

9:52 pm

crosshair

yup 500 titles on my barnes and noble nook reader

9:52 pm

joey

hey, on the haunted part - at least you have a name and an author.

9:52 pm

joey

crap, had I known........

9:52 pm

crosshair

all in html or e-pub file format

9:53 pm

crosshair

e-pub format is the choice of all libraries

9:54 pm

joey

I just looked through my books, there is another one that I wante to recommend. But I can't find it at the moment, and the only way I could describe it would give away the very surprising ending - it is Sci-Fi also. I will have to give it a little better look.

9:54 pm

joey

ok, since you seem to be knowledgable, I am only going to be able to get books through Amazon on the kindle?

9:55 pm

dan2bit

kindle handles pdf's

9:56 pm

joey

dan, thanks, I understand the words but not how they are put together. I have PDF files on my computer at work, does that mean I could download from work?

9:56 pm

crosshair

9:57 pm

crosshair

10:01 pm

crosshair

10:01 pm

10:03 pm

crosshair

10:04 pm

Plus stress, of course.

11:15 pm

11:17 pm

jillibus

I hope it's something good, mrp!

11:18 pm

mrpresident

the prick (as my stalker is known as) looks like he is selling up his house and closing his business...
BUT, he has a double mortgage and the business is going bankrupt... everyone knows.
HOWEVER... he will make it known to all and sundry that we forced him to leave cause he was so scared of us...

11:19 pm

jillibus

oh jesus -- he is a real nut case.

11:19 pm

mrpresident

He has set this whole thing up... I thought he was an idiot, but his wife is the one that has made sure she doesn't look like she is now broke

11:20 pm

jillibus

she is too

11:20 pm

jillibus

I hope they move far far away

11:23 pm

mrpresident

AND ..... yesterday!!! A bus full of boys from Luke's school heard a year 9 boy speaking to my son's friend... the year 9 boy said asked where my son's friend was going and he told him, 'down to Luke's place'. Year 9 boy replies, 'Michelle is a total biatch cause she set fire to my friends house'... everyone heard!! I went to the school today and those little bastards are in massive trouble. Prick has a son in year 9 at the same school, so we know where that is all coming from.

11:24 pm

mrpresident

The school is taking it very seriously cause that type of defamation can lead to my son and his friends being bullied by the bigger boys who believe the shite coming out of the Prick's mouth via his son.

11:32 pm

jillibus

OMG!!!

11:33 pm

jillibus

Have you found a lawyer?

11:34 pm

jillibus

I'm glad your school is taking it seriously and is aware of the dreadful results of bullying.
