Kaplan the Magne

I think it's time to ditch Enable for a better dictionary.

7:17 am

Trifioso

I think one is a baby dragonfly, car

7:18 am

EvaNadine

"any Eurasian shrub belonging to the genus Daphne, certain species of which, as D. mezereum, are cultivated for their fragrant flowers"

thats the second definition if you click on it...

7:19 am

EvaNadine

and, im off to the PB...

7:19 am

car.eeyore

I read that, but it is used as a name of the flower.

7:19 am

EvaNadine

well, isnt "rose" the same thing?

7:19 am

MollyL

There are blueberry muffins in the PB Eva.

7:19 am

car.eeyore

Oh, who cares! I got 2 words from it! Whee!

7:21 am

Trifioso

btw, car, did mom tell you, I borrowed a couple of her weed whackers this weekend, and MAN - that double stringed one is the black wand of DEATH!

7:21 am

car.eeyore

She told me you borrowed one. I am glad it worked well for you!

7:21 am

Trifioso

once I got the hang of it, there was serious yard work going on, but at first I was just shredding soil left and right...it was pretty amusing!

7:21 am

car.eeyore

I can't weed whack, so I will take your word for it!

7:22 am

Trifioso

why can't you?

7:22 am

car.eeyore

From typing. It is just way too painful on my arms and neck.

7:23 am

Trifioso

poor lil muffin! (say in Powell's voice for full effect....)

7:23 am

car.eeyore

I am totally FINE with not being able to weed whack!

7:24 am

car.eeyore

poor mom...she is so sad that Oprah is ending today.

7:24 am

Trifioso

i know! but ellen is taking her place, so that will keep her entertained

7:24 am

car.eeyore

She loves her Oprah.

7:24 am

Trifioso

i haven't watched oprah in ages, and I am sad too...I just don't like endings, I guess

7:25 am

car.eeyore

One more thing out of the norm for her.

7:25 am

BzznBea

No one can takes Oprah's place...

7:25 am

Trifioso

do you all get the OWN channel, car?

7:25 am

car.eeyore

Morning Bzzn!

7:25 am

car.eeyore

I do, but I don't think she does in her room. May have to upgrade her box.

7:26 am

BzznBea

Morning. And I am off to the dr. *poof*

7:26 am

car.eeyore

Good luck Bzzn!

7:26 am

I remember Johnny Carson's last week...I cried every night.

7:28 am

MollyL

7:28 am

car.eeyore

It was during the height of my insomnia, so many a night, his voice helped me fall to sleep. I was so sad.

7:29 am

car.eeyore

Go for it Molly!

7:29 am

Trifioso

wish someone would upgrade my box....hehe

7:29 am

Kaplan the Magne

7:29 am

car.eeyore

7:29 am

Trifioso

7:30 am

car.eeyore

Try to "whack" and "box" in one comment Molly!

7:30 am

Will you guys elevate your minds to street level, please?

7:30 am

car.eeyore

Do we have to?

7:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

I mean, really, some of us have delicate sensibilities.

7:31 am

car.eeyore

Here Crossy, Crossy, Crossy.....

7:31 am

car.eeyore

Sorry to offend Kaplan....

7:31 am

Trifioso

sorry kaplan. Say, fellows, did any one else muse over what was on NPR yesterday?

7:31 am

MollyL

As Oscar Wilde said...we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars

7:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

;)

7:31 am

car.eeyore

Nice!

7:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am not offended. I am kidding.

7:32 am

car.eeyore

I thought so Kaplan!

7:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am just taking the high moral ground for a change.

7:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

It feels weird.

7:32 am

car.eeyore

Don't get a nosebleed!

7:32 am

MollyL

*Lays out nun outfit for Kap*

7:32 am

Trifioso

oh hey, since we are in the gutter -- that new kids book about going to sleep was reviewed last night on tv, and it was tres amusant watching them try to discuss it without saying the title!

7:32 am

car.eeyore

OK...and it takes the tight swimwear as a word?!?!?

7:33 am

Kaplan the Magne

What was the title? Kaplan the nun?

7:33 am

car.eeyore

? no idea what you are referring to?

7:33 am

car.eeyore

Oh.....now I get it! Go the F*** to sleep!

7:33 am

MollyL

"Go The F To Sleep"

7:33 am

car.eeyore

Best. Book. Ever.!!!!

7:33 am

Trifioso

7:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

I heard about it...

7:34 am

Mom

7:34 am

Mom

good morning to all of you

7:34 am

Trifioso

It is BRILLIANT mom - I can send you the pdf of the galleys if you like

7:35 am

7:36 am

Mom

Hi Judi

7:36 am

Trifioso

that should work in general, for those of you who would like to look at it. It's a short book, so you can read it in a few moments.

7:36 am

Trifioso

and trust me, swallow your coffee first, or you will be spitting it out all over your screen!

7:36 am

Mom

thank you Trif

7:37 am

car.eeyore

If I had this book 8 years ago, when Zack was a newborn, I would be such a better mom today!

7:37 am

Mom

good afternoon Sprite

7:40 am

car.eeyore

OK. I ne4 help. tell me to go workout and not come home after i drop mom at the gym....

7:40 am

Trifioso

okay, if you tell me to stop babbling and do something to add value on my free morning

7:41 am

Mom

Car. go do your workout or at least walk around the parking lot while mom is at the gym

7:41 am

car.eeyore

I am sorry, but I find increasing brain power and visiting with friends to be a VERY valuable part of my day.

7:41 am

Mom

it is a funny wow

7:41 am

Trifioso

yay mom! I mean really, I don't care HOW religious a person is, any one who hasn't had that thought while raising a toddler is a big fat liar

7:42 am

MollyL

I agree with Car, I consider Babbling an "add value" event.

7:42 am

sprite

LOL that is pure genius, that book

7:42 am

Trifioso

it's a real "mile in my moccasins" book, anyway

7:43 am

Trifioso

I love my babble, but I look around my hovel and every where my eyes fall I see something that I should address. it's all about the balance

7:43 am

car.eeyore

Today is your free morning. You need some YOU time.

7:44 am

car.eeyore

OK...I will take a clue for the DE 8 now please?

7:44 am

Mom

I know what you mean, Trif. I stop babbling at 9 and do some hovel shoveling and then come back at 10

7:44 am

Trifioso

but I will feel more accomplished at the end of the day if my life is more ordered than I will from seeing pretend fireworks

7:44 am

Trifioso

thanks mom.

7:44 am

car.eeyore

That is an excellent idea.

9:00 am

Yvo

9:00 am

Yvo

9:01 am

Yvo

omg i didnt even notice that a word went in so sorry

9:01 am

uusue2

I'm in DeKalb, but I lived in Des Plaines and Prospect Heights for a while so am very familiar with the area

9:01 am

uusue2

don't worry, yvo! we all use words like that :-)

9:01 am

sprite

I was grateful. Am filling in the last ones and didn't have it yet. Gave me 2.

9:02 am

Hope those of you in the path of the thunderstorms stay safe.

9:02 am

Yvo

watching Oprahs last show

9:03 am

uusue2

they don't seem to be nasty, molly, just thunder and rain (although it makes the dog unhappy)

9:04 am

Natasha

we have sun, finally, after many, many days of rain

9:04 am

uusue2

nice, natasha! I

9:04 am

Natasha

glad to hear the storms aren't bad. Still have family in IL

9:05 am

uusue2

9:05 am

mrpresident

took a short break of 2 hours to take care of my kids

9:05 am

Natasha

hi mrp

9:05 am

MollyL

Did anyone read about the couple trying to raise their child genderless? Very strange.

9:05 am

uusue2

hi again, mrp! Is the cat happy now?

9:05 am

mrpresident

thanks !

9:05 am

Natasha

I did Molly

9:05 am

uusue2

I saw the headline, molly, but didn't read the article.

9:05 am

mrpresident

cat is inside and sleeping at my feet

9:06 am

mrpresident

dog is snuggled up to Mark

9:06 am

mrpresident

usually Maddie joins us at 3am and then Luke at 7am... full house in the morning

9:06 am

uusue2

although I do recall a woman getting furious with me in WalMart because my 1-year-old son was wearing a pink snowsuit. He seems to have survived with his masculinity intact, though.

9:07 am

mrpresident

I am laying on my massage bed... getting the heat treatment and full body massage... best thing I ever spent money on

9:07 am

sprite

no child is genderless, so why raise it as if it is?
uusue, that was one silly lady!

9:08 am

uusue2

sounds lovely, mrp!!!

9:09 am

sprite

very good, mrP

9:09 am

MollyL

I agree Sprite.

9:09 am

Natasha

I agree sprite, but I do think we put way too much emphasis on gender in young kids

9:09 am

Natasha

like the lady in walmart

9:09 am

sprite

fireflies! A gentle grid, all in all. Thanks for the company, babble friends. *hugs* and all good wishes.

9:09 am

mrpresident

why did she feel she had to judge you usue??

9:09 am

uusue2

I sort of agree about the genderless thing although I do think that a lot of the trappings of traditional gender roles are unnecessary.

9:10 am

Natasha

my son wore pink and even some of his sister's dresses when he was little. big deal. He's still pretty well adjusted

9:10 am

uusue2

oh, people are funny, mrp, and my son was a very beautiful baby; she really thought I was going to ruin him for life by dressing him in pink. (It was a fuzzy bunny snowsuit with ears and everything - he really did look adorable!!!)

9:11 am

uusue2

and congratulations to sprite!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:11 am

mrpresident

My son wore pink pj's for the first 5 years of his life

9:11 am

mrpresident

and he put on maddison's dresses when it was hot... they were pink

9:12 am

uusue2

I also let him wear female Halloween costumes when he was little - his choice - it's dress-up pretend anyway, so who cares?

9:12 am

Natasha

did you all know that before WWI pink was a boy color and blue was for girls?

9:12 am

mrpresident

on ya sprite!

9:12 am

uusue2

well, and little boys used to wear dresses until they were 8-10 years old, too. somehow the human race seems to have survived :-)

9:13 am

mrpresident

he would stand infront of the aircon and giggle himself silly as the dress ballooned up with the cold air!

9:14 am

MollyL

Yes, the blue for girls thing was some extension of the fact that the Virgin Mary was often depicted wearing blue.

9:14 am

mrpresident

and guess what he did for the year 5 dress up competition??

9:14 am

Natasha

my son got away from us once in the bookstore when he was wearing his sister's dress and we had to tell the clerk they were looking for a blonde 2 year old boy in a green dress with yellow lemons and red fireman boots

9:14 am

uusue2

what, mrp? (I am imagining various things)

9:14 am

mrpresident

there were different catagories... and he entered the gender/bender category....

9:14 am

uusue2

lol, natasha!

9:16 am

mrpresident

he dressed up in a wig that made him look exactly like Maddison, and put on her top and skirt and 'hight heels'... and he strutted his stuff the whole time, even when he won the $25 voucher... he went up on stage still strutting like a girl! everyone loved it!!

9:16 am

mrpresident

he looked EXACTLY like Maddison

9:16 am

Natasha

that's excellent, mrp!

9:20 am

uusue2

wonderful, mrp!!! how funny!!!

9:20 am

mrpresident

i know!! he is amazing... he won best sports man the year before dressing up as Alain Prost!

9:21 am

mrpresident

and he won best christmas decoration when he wore a xmas tree... only his eyes were showing!

9:21 am

mrpresident

he just knows what he wants and goes for it

9:22 am

and now for crossy,s tidbit of the day!......

9:22 am

The inventors of bubble wrap, Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes, were originally trying to make plastic wallpaper.

9:22 am

mrpresident

'mum, I want to be a xmas tree... this is what I want... can you make it for me and can I help design it?'.... 'of course son'... winner

9:23 am

9:43 am

mrpresident

indeed nan, still have to go through court in the next couple of weeks, but I have too much going on with my health. I dont care about him and just want him out of my life

9:44 am

mrpresident

the court does see I need time, so they will give it to me

9:44 am

uusue2

ah, good to hear, mrp. just take care of yourself!!!

9:45 am

cybernan

btw -- I had my hyster with a spinal block -- doctor wasn't thrilled about the idea, but I told him it was preferable to me calling ralph for a week after a general anaesthetic to which I am allergic. It worked fine!

9:45 am

mrpresident

i will sue

9:47 am

mrpresident

I will be put into twilight sleep for 15 minutes... it should be easier on me

9:47 am

cybernan

at a stand still - time to consult lickety's handiwork

9:47 am

Phantom: Panda

9:53 am

uusue2

it is but I still have things to do - I am assistant department chair (and the chair is in Europe this week) so there is paperwork, and I am preparing at least two and maybe three new courses for the fall

9:54 am

uusue2

also my former administrative assistant (I hired her when I was the associate dean of the graduate school) is retiring today and I want to go to her party :-)

9:55 am

jmcnrick

oh well if you are going to a party then! lol

9:55 am

Judi

Always more fun to chair a party!

9:55 am

Judi

Or, party till you fall out of your chair.

9:55 am

uusue2

indeed :-)

9:55 am

jmcnrick

i am trying to decide if i want to apply for a particular job

9:55 am

uusue2

well, then Frank is taking me out to dinner after that so I can't party TOO much :-)

9:55 am

jmcnrick

but it can wait and i can pick the brains of those who are here

9:55 am

uusue2

what job, jmc?

9:56 am

jmcnrick

a busy day!

9:56 am

uusue2

(although Frank is driving me to the office today due to thunderstorms so I won't be gone long)

9:56 am

jmcnrick

CEO of Sister Cities International

9:56 am

uusue2

OOOOHHHHH!!!!! It sounds wonderful but I suppose there is a lot of politics involved...

9:57 am

jmcnrick

they are more mainstream than I have generally been but I love what they do

9:58 am

jmcnrick

and they are better funded than i am used to so they may think i can't handle that much money! ;-)

9:59 am

cybernan

last de 6/24, please?

9:59 am

uusue2

lol, jmc!

9:59 am

uusue2

So what would be the possible downsides?

9:59 am

jmcnrick

not sure cyber but make the hole lower?

10:00 am

jmcnrick

i couldn't wear jeans to work! and it would have more regular hours i think and like you said politics

10:00 am

Riverdance

the last de6 ends with a male

You're welcome - good morning/afternoon all.

ty haz

10:02 am

jmcnrick

hi haz

10:02 am

Haz1558

Hello, jmc.

10:03 am

uusue2

well, beware of enterprises that require new clothes and all that, but I would say if the job intrigues you, and they are doing good work in spite of politics, why not?

10:03 am

uusue2

and hi, haz!

10:03 am

Judi

Hiya, Haz!

10:04 am

Haz1558

Hello uusue and Judi.

10:04 am

jmcnrick

i think i am more worried i would get the job than i wouldnt get the job and i keep wondering why that worried me!

10:04 am

Judi

Blue jeans in the workplace! Wearing them makes me more productive.

10:04 am

cybernan

do you have one for the ep 6?

10:04 am

jmcnrick

i wear them most of the time judi--but sometimes i have to dress up even for this job

10:05 am

Haz1558

ep6 ep plus a small flowering shrub but change the last vowel.

10:05 am

jmcnrick

well thanks for the thoughts uu and don't let me keep you--i couldn't bear the guilt if you missed the party!

10:06 am

Judi

I hear that, jmc. When I got the job here at the Police Dept., I happily swore never to wear panty hose again.

10:06 am

jmcnrick

OMG i don't even own any panty hose! I wonder if I would be expected to wear that at an interview *faints*

10:06 am

Haz1558

Or ep plus first letters of language spoken in Israel, finish with a vowel.

10:06 am

cybernan

my horticultural skills are lacking this am

10:07 am

Riverdance

ep + **al thy wounds + ride a **ke

10:07 am

Haz1558

Try the alternative clue below, cybernan. It's a new word for me and you'll maybe understand the first clue when you find it.

10:08 am

jmcnrick

ty haz

10:08 am

cybernan

-- monkeyed it -- ty

10:08 am

jmcnrick

ty river

10:09 am

jmcnrick

see judi that is my problem--after 30+ years of counter culture work can I adapt?

10:10 am

Haz1558

ma6/24 (meaning a frenzied woman) - forward Miss West meets backward Mr Quayle. And then plural for ma7/36.

10:10 am

jmcnrick

great clue haz

10:10 am

Judi

Maybe you won't have to, jmc. Is there a dress code at the new place? If so, what is it? Formality in the workplace has careened toward "smart casual" for the past decade or more.

10:11 am

Riverdance

thanks haz

10:11 am

Haz1558

And if you extract a vowel, you get an me6 and me6.

10:11 am

cybernan

ty haz

10:11 am

jmcnrick

oh there you go i have been out of the formal workplace so long i didn't even know that judi

10:11 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:12 am

Riverdance

thanks again Haz - was just looking for that one

10:12 am

cybernan

fa 5/16 following the dance?

10:12 am

Judi

Scope it out some day, jmc. See what others who work there are wearing. You may be pleasantly surprised.

10:12 am

Haz1558

fa5/16 - a latin plural. fa plus an old fashioned woman's name.

10:13 am

jmcnrick

good idea--i actually have a friend who does IT there so he could tell me

10:14 am

jmcnrick

well i must go do some things with THIS job--thanks judi I appreciate the thoughts.

10:14 am

uusue2

hey, jmc, I wouldn't worry about clothes, you might have to get a nice pant suit or two but I'll bet that would do it. And the party isn't until 2 this afternoon so I have plenty of time :-)

10:14 am

jmcnrick

bye all

10:15 am

You're welcome, cybernan.

Judi

"IT" does have it's share of ecclectic personalities. My hubby used to work at a utility co. in NY. The IT guy in his department lined his own cubicle with egg crate memory foam. He mummbled an explanation having something to do with EMFs, sound proofing and radio wave barriers. General concensus was he was just a whacko.

10:21 am

Judi

Which is not to say you are a whacko, jmc. My point being, there is ample room for individual behavior and fashion expression.

10:26 am

Judi

*have killed chog - will shut up now*

It might be okay by then, cybernan, the volcano isn't discharging as much ash as before.

10:36 am

cybernan

That's good then, Haz -- hope it clears in the next few days

10:37 am

11:41 am

Aloyisius

hi jmc, glad someone is home (-:

11:41 am

Aloyisius

hi crossy

11:47 am

Aloyisius

this grid was so easy at the start.. running into some doozies now

11:47 am

jmcnrick

there are some interesting words for sure snuffy

11:47 am

Dorens

that's what makes it fun, right guys?

11:47 am

Aloyisius

almost makes me get up and grab a dictionary..

11:49 am

Aloyisius

but I'm looking forward to doing a library "drive by" today, so I'll charge on.. going to give away a bunch of books, yay..

11:50 am

Aloyisius

they have been out in the garage so long, it is a wonder the mice haven't eaten them

11:51 am

uusue2

hi, aloy, I am jealous of your library (love books!)

11:51 am

Dorens

my library won't take old books, so there all in the garage too, can't figure out what to do with them

11:51 am

Aloyisius

love em too, uusue - fortunately, our local library said "bring 'em on" and we will sort them

11:52 am

Dorens

sue, i daresay most of us love books.. being word nerds, etc.

11:52 am

crosshair

my books have gotten totally out of hand so i am selecting 200 of my favorite read to tatters titles,using biblio.com to replace them one at a time into hard covers and anything above that number is ebook only...probably the reason i plan to open a shoppe,so i can have thousands of books elsewhere;))

11:52 am

Aloyisius

great idea, crossy

11:52 am

uusue2

I picked up a lot of books from freecycle that the local library didn't want.

11:53 am

Aloyisius

Kindle and the internet is changing my perspective

11:53 am

jmcnrick

dorens there are usebook shops that will by them and there are organizations which ship them overseas

11:53 am

jmcnrick

there are schools that have book sales

11:53 am

uusue2

check out www.freecycle.org - they have local groups in an awful lot of places. If you have anything you don't want any more, just post it there, someone may very well be able to put it to good use!

11:54 am

crosshair

the name of the place has been decided,simple is best after all "MELBOURNE BOOK,S AND ART SUPPLIES" i shall use a kangarro as my business card icon

11:54 am

Aloyisius

will do, sue.. can't bear the thought of stuff going into landfill that someone could be enjoying

11:54 am

uusue2

I had a couple of broken lawn mowers that I posted there - a guy came and got them who fixes them up and sells them for a very small amount of $$$ to people who can't otherwise afford them.

11:54 am

Aloyisius

also I learned that our county prison system needs books

11:54 am

jmcnrick

in fact the multicultural school where my sister is on the board has a book sale each year.

11:55 am

uusue2

lol, crossy!

11:55 am

crosshair

it is my name,so why not eh?

11:55 am

jmcnrick

i am surprised your library won't take old books, the DC library does. Some it puts on the shelves; some it sales; some it recycles

11:56 am

jmcnrick

how nice uu i am not sure anyone in my freecycle is that nice

11:56 am

uusue2

there is a guy in town here who runs a used book store - he is partially blind and missing one hand (and the other is only marginally useful) but he loves books and sells the ones he doesn't want to keep.

11:56 am

Aloyisius

distinctive name, crossy.. nice !

11:57 am

crosshair

it is mine:) was mine indeed long before it was lent to a down under city lol

11:57 am

11:58 am

11:59 am

crosshair

11:59 am

jmcnrick

brb i have to hook a soldier with ptsd (which the military of course denies) up with a shrink

12:04 pm

Aloyisius

I responded "lol" but it didn't post, h'mmm

12:05 pm

crosshair

o imagine the latter,dirty old bugger was 54 and she was 18 year old princess when he took liberty lol

12:05 pm

12:06 pm

crosshair

12:06 pm

crosshair

12:07 pm

Aloyisius

crosshair

one day i will tell you all of HIS da lol

12:10 pm

uusue2

yay, aloy!

12:11 pm

uusue2

and presumably Melbourne AUS was founded by a direct ancestor of yours and not a direct descendant, crossy! (unless you are an awful lot older than I am :-)

12:13 pm

crosshair

lol you know what i mean

12:13 pm

crosshair

and it was already there,was just named after him as a gift from her majesty

12:14 pm

uusue2

ah. Of course, I knew what you meant, just giving you a hard time :-)

12:14 pm

crosshair

since he was so"handy" to her majesty lol

12:15 pm

crosshair

dirty ole bugger hehe

12:15 pm

uusue2

crossy, you are bad!!! (I like that in a guy :-)

12:15 pm

12:18 pm

crosshair

aka mr lamb

12:20 pm

uusue2

no relation, i expect, except insofar as we are all related at some level...

12:21 pm

crosshair

a sordid list i have of coach robbers any dingy shopkeeps...more boring that anything

12:21 pm

crosshair

but we do have a coat of arms and a tartan;)

12:21 pm

uusue2

cool! :-)

12:21 pm

crosshair

my da always used to call the coat of arms 'the sign of the outhouse" lol

12:22 pm

crosshair

my uncle ian has the original in london,massive heavy thing

12:23 pm

uusue2

I always laugh when people try to sell me coats of arms, etc, based on my last name, as my grandfather was orphaned and taken in by a family with that name who needed a farm boy (he was 4 at the time)

12:23 pm

uusue2

he stayed until he was 13, long enough to take their name, then left

12:23 pm

crosshair

lol

12:24 pm

crosshair

you have to be sure when hunting your coat of arms..those companies will sell you anything

12:24 pm

crosshair

i am lucky that i can see the original if i wish

12:25 pm

uusue2

indeed. and then his original last name (Rossmann) had been invented by his dad when he arrived on the boat from Denmark, as the original name (Doew) had unpleasant connotations (kind of like pigeon)

12:25 pm

crosshair

lol our origin is mal-bourn= wrongly made or ill kept

12:26 pm

uusue2

all interesting but doesn't exactly make us royalty :-)

12:26 pm

uusue2

but then where would the kings be without the peasants?

12:26 pm

crosshair

nor are we,just someone in the right place at the right time to curry favor and we have been breeding forever lol

12:31 pm

uusue2

ha - sun came out and temperatures have shot up. maybe I will go outside for a few minutes :-)

12:31 pm

crosshair

lol@ curry favor,i am in the midst of reading David Copperfield and i get a tad Victorian on speech on occasion

12:31 pm

uusue2

(but not until after I finish my lunch and have some tea)

12:34 pm

mrpresident

no crossy.... too 'headcase' to sleep

12:34 pm

mrpresident

I need another cup of tea me thinks

12:35 pm

uusue2

I find the BBC quite soothing in the middle of the night - put them quietly on headphones and they often lull me to sleep

12:35 pm

uusue2

and even if not at least I learn something :-)

12:36 pm

mrpresident

Love it sue! I like learning stuff too

12:37 pm

uusue2

had them on most of the night last night - woke up a little after midnight and couldn't get back to sleep

12:38 pm

mrpresident

12:39 pm

mrpresident

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

crosshair

i

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

back, mostly to say hello

12:44 pm

crosshair

now i find it facinating to watch my mrs or my son sleep in 8 hour chunks without even moving lol

12:44 pm

crosshair

((ruby))

12:45 pm

mrpresident

cat naps suck thou... but I have been having nightmares about my operations... really weirdo stuff... so I don't want to sleep

12:45 pm

mrpresident

hi ruby **hugs**

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

after 9/11 I used to wake up at 2AM with anxiety attacks, so I started taking Xanax. It really helps me sleep and have better dreams and no anxiety attacks

12:48 pm

mrpresident

I had the weirdo dream... not sure if I should share here.

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

but this place, with all you babble friends, is the most calming, even though I have not improved much in the year and a half I've been playing

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

we can take it, if you would feel better sharing, mrp

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

(not being nosy)

12:51 pm

mrpresident

I dreamt that I had pig genitalia... with alll the course hairs and unusual folds... my docs were very disgusted by it and not sure if they wanted to touch me

12:52 pm

uusue2

hi, ruby!

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

hello, sue.

12:52 pm

crosshair

and i am sorry,must leave you all to head to work,but before i go,here is crossy,s tidbit of the day!!

12:52 pm

crosshair

Instead of being nocturnal or diurnal, some animals are â€œcrepuscular,â€ meaning they are primarily active during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk.

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

that is strange and interesting. Are you having "female type" surgery?

12:52 pm

uusue2

and very understandable dream, mrp! I remember when my mother had ovarian cancer; I had a dream that my grandmother had given birth to a dog.

12:52 pm

mrpresident

I tried to shave the hairs off, but couldn't , and the folds of skin were black on one side and pink on the other.... was so frightening

12:52 pm

uusue2

bye, crossy!

12:53 pm

crosshair

you take care (((mrP))) and everyone else...poink!

12:53 pm

mrpresident

yes ruby, read my profile

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

when I was pregnant (a long long time ago) I dreamt that I was carrying a puppy

12:53 pm

uusue2

it's just your brain trying to make sense of it all...

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

and channeling the surgery-related anxiety into dreams

12:54 pm

mrpresident

see ya crossy **hugs**

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

truly understandable

12:54 pm

mrpresident

it is frigging freaky and upsetting

12:55 pm

uusue2

it is, mrp {{{{{{{{{{{mrp}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

it sounds very upsetting {{big group hug for mrp}}

12:56 pm

mrpresident

thanks girls!! **hugs**

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

to change the subject to something trivial, why isn't apeman or even capeman acceptable?

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

BTW, Xanax gives me happy dreams, mrp, you might ask your MD

12:57 pm

granadan

OMG Mr P, I had no idea. You hang in there, much love from UK

12:58 pm

mrpresident

thank you granadan!! **hugs**

12:59 pm

mrpresident

is that like valium ruby??

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

I just read your profile mrp (OMG). No, it is milder than valium, to which I am allergic, more like Librium (which I think is no longer available, at least not in France), not to be confused with Lithium which is for schizophrenics

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

I am just happy not to have anxiety attacks and to be able to sleep 8 hrs

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

does anybody have a clue for the 8?

1:04 pm

mrpresident

I am going to check my diary, see what I have on tomorrow, and take sleeping tablets if I need to (only if I have nothing on)

1:04 pm

MollyL

de8...to deliver a line in a play with no expression, plural

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

I've never taken anything for sleeping except X, but my son takes Lunesta, which is the pill that makes some people "sleep eat" and "sleep drive" hahah

1:05 pm

mrpresident

it is a compound ruby

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

hello molly

1:06 pm

uusue2

thx for the birthday wishes! Will be going out to dinner later -

1:09 pm

uusue2

and although I know that the fact that we count by 10s is an artifact due to our having 10 fingers, it is still a little disconcerting to move from one decade to another!

1:09 pm

MollyL

*Sets up the champagne fountain for Sue's birthday*

1:10 pm

Soodle

Oooh, have a lovely birthday dinner Sue. The Irish association of fish & chip shops (or something like that) had a half-price day today. Myself and my daughter have just had the most delicious fresh cod & chips. Total diet no-no, but bloody gorgeous!

1:10 pm

uusue2

(what I am trying to say is that I have turned 60 and can no longer say that I am 'in my 50s') bummer.

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

1:10 pm

uusue2

1:10 pm

Soodle

60 is the new 50, Sue!!!

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

oooh fish and chips!

1:11 pm

uusue2

true, ruby, and this one should be interesting too - maybe I will get to retire before the end of it! and with my dad being 90 I can't really complain about being old :-)

1:12 pm

Soodle

MrP - good thoughts going to you ((()))

1:13 pm

1:19 pm

all this talk about sleep has made me sleepy.....

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

do you put white vinegar on your chips?

1:19 pm

Soodle

Ah - the contagious yawn!!

1:21 pm

Soodle

Oh yes! White vinegar, and (shame) loads of salt. Heart attack city.... :-(

1:21 pm

rubyfoo

all I had for dinner was cherries

1:22 pm

Soodle

Oh Rubes. Now you are making me feel like a savage.....

1:23 pm

MollyL

<---- Is now craving beer batter fish and chips

1:23 pm

rubyfoo

trust me, if somebody else did the cooking, I would eat. I just get sick of cooking for husband and dogs

1:24 pm

rubyfoo

and my husband, very backhandedly, complained that I don't do an adequate job of cleaning the kitchen every night

1:24 pm

rubyfoo

what a charmer!

1:25 pm

Soodle

Beer batter fish & chips AND half price. It doesn't get much better. And we ate them out of the paper bags, with our fingers, so no wahing up.

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

sounds like heaven to me but I would want a pint of Guinness with it

1:26 pm

Soodle

Oh Ruby. I hope you told him to feel free to do it himself....?

1:26 pm

HarryHood

Ha! I missed the part about Obama chugging Guiness so I took Ruby's' comment about Phillip "wanting some but not getting any" WAY wrong.

1:38 pm

MollyL

I'm a little reluctant to add "and plural" because someone here once (Very dryly) informed me that "it was a given" : P

1:38 pm

uusue2

1:38 pm

suefrad625

1:48 pm

Soodle

Oh Molly!!! Now, what do you expect me to say to that????

1:49 pm

jmcnrick

i thought randy was a cousin

1:50 pm

Soodle

To be honest - if a 90 year old man is still thinking along those lines, I think Fair dues to him!

2:24 pm

lilliann

can i have a clue for the ha5,18 please

2:25 pm

suefrad625

2:25 pm

lilliann

is that like our sat tests here sue

2:25 pm

suefrad625

yes

2:25 pm

suefrad625

i think

2:26 pm

lilliann

accept my daughter wont know her results until july as after each test every day it was sent away

2:27 pm

lilliann

my daughter had to do tests every morning for a week. she is 11 but some of her other classmates are 10. i think its far too much pressure on them at this age! she was sooo stressed out the sunday night before the first test. i just told her to do her best1

2:27 pm

MollyL

I've heard of SAT's. Never heard of EOG's.

2:29 pm

lilliann

what i don't agree with molly, is that not all schools here have to do them

2:29 pm

BzznBea

End of grade

2:29 pm

lilliann

ty bzzn. we don't have eog here

2:30 pm

lilliann

we have sats for year 4 and yr 6 in primary schools

2:32 pm

lilliann

i know that my daughter's sats results will go towards which class she ends up in secondary school but some kids do really well in lessons, but when it comes to tests, they just fall apart, but i suppose kids of any age are like that. i just think schools and some parents put too much pressure on their kids

2:34 pm

lilliann

anyone have a clue for the ha5,18 please

2:35 pm

BzznBea

2:57 pm

Soodle

Hello Kazz :-)

2:58 pm

Kazzer99

hi Soods how you keeping

3:00 pm

Soodle

I'm good thanks Kazz :-). And you?

3:01 pm

Kazzer99

not too bad - keep thjnking about my niece's funeral which is next Thursday - i think it will be a bit of closure when its all over

3:02 pm

Soodle

Oh, no, Kazz. I have been a bit out of the loop recently. I had no idea you had a bereavement. I am very very sorry.

3:03 pm

Soodle

If its not too difficult .... what were the circumstances?

3:03 pm

Kazzer99

yes the cops found her on the 3rd of may - but they had to have a dna test to check it was her - they reckon she could have been dead for two weeks

3:04 pm

HelenaB

Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with your family, Kaz.

3:04 pm

Kazzer99

my sister still hasnt had a full death certificate yet

3:05 pm

Soodle

Oh, no. How dreadful. The poor girl. And how dreadful for her parents and family. I am truly sorry to hear that Kazz.

3:06 pm

Soodle

Kazz, on a practical note (I work for the Coroners Service in Ireland), there is such thing as an interim Death Certificate here, and as all our procedures are based on UK practice, I have no doubt that if your sister contacted the coroner, an interim death cert could be issued, just for practical purposes.

3:07 pm

Kazzer99

well we all have to come to terms with it - she was estranged from the family and now everyone is thinkings its their fault but she was a difficult girl to get on with. Her eldest sister wont come to the funeral and my son is only going because he lives with my mum and dad. She nearly got him the sack

3:08 pm

Soodle

How old was she, Kazz?

3:08 pm

Kazzer99

she has got one and they released the body to the funeral directors - I think i will be less sad after next week. Also as a completely different thing my boss and the hierachy have agreed that i can go for partial retirement from September - will work 4 days and be retired for1 - looking forward to that

3:08 pm

Kazzer99

she was 20

3:10 pm

Soodle

Good grief. 20 years old. Her whole life ahead of her .... all that potential. Like I say, I work in the Coroners service, but an untimely death like that always leaves me bewildered.

3:11 pm

Kazzer99

yes - i think that thats the saddest thing that she felt she couldnt come back to us but she has a few friends from her church that will be coming to the fueral - its very strange cos she was the only religous person in the family

3:14 pm

uusue2

so sorry, kazz!!! Hope the funeral gives you and your family some closure.

3:15 pm

Kazzer99

must go briefly and rescue some washing from the line - be back in a bit

3:16 pm

uusue2

bye, kazz!

3:16 pm

uusue2

and I am back from the retirement reception, will be leaving in ~15 min for my birthday shopping and dinner :-)

3:17 pm

uusue2

interesting how as soon as I bring up lickety I know what some of the missing words are without even looking at the grid :-/

3:23 pm

Kazzer99

i am back - have a lovely birthday dinner

3:23 pm

uusue2

thx, kazz!

3:24 pm

Kazzer99

i do the same with lickety - last night i had 14 left but got them as soon as i looked at lickety - it as though the first to letters jog the worn out brain cells

3:24 pm

uusue2

that and their position in the list.

3:24 pm

Kazzer99

yes very true

3:28 pm

jmcnrick

oo happy birthday uu!

3:28 pm

uusue2

thx, jmc! :-)

dan2bit

evening all!

4:39 pm

jillibus

hello daddydan

4:42 pm

dan2bit

baby2bit finally elected to crawl last night! We were sure she would walk first, as she is readily standing with a "steadier" of any kind

4:42 pm

dan2bit

but, she really wanted auntie's shiny blackberry, so she 'commando crawled' over to grab it!

4:43 pm

jillibus

my little boy never did really crawl -- he used to belly-flop across the floor. Got up and walked at about 9 - 10 months!

4:44 pm

Kazzer99

i am stuck all - on the sp 6 after the sp 5 for fast

4:44 pm

dan2bit

she scoots backwards on her back, and can take steps with help, so walking is coming soon as can be

4:45 pm

dan2bit

is that the one like 'globe' but with a different last consonant?

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

uh-oh you are in trouble now dan2

4:46 pm

MollyL

Mens bathing suit Kazz...add a vowel to the sp5

4:46 pm

MollyL

Actually, it's a bathing suit brand

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

ruru's bathing suit

4:47 pm

MollyL

Ding!!! JMC has THE clue!

4:47 pm

dan2bit

yep jmc - I already have to install the cabinet locks asap - she is terrorizing the kitchen in the walker her umma gave her for birthday

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

i stole it

4:48 pm

MollyL

Everything in Casa 2Bit has moved up three feet. : )

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

i still have locks from when my boy got into the sideboard where the wine glasses were and broke them all in little shards and giggled as we screamed

4:49 pm

MollyL

I have a great picture of one of my sons, sitting inside a bottom kitchen cabinet. He had already emptied all the plastic containers.

4:49 pm

jmcnrick

4:51 pm

5:08 pm

MollyL

Oh yes! I think a talk show hosted by JMC would be awesome!

5:09 pm

wht

Hi jmc. So you have applied for Oprah's job.

5:09 pm

periwinkle

Mahjong is a very difficult game to learn, not at all like what is on the internet. had my first lesson today

5:09 pm

jmcnrick

*starts painting the pb green*

5:09 pm

jmcnrick

hi wht!

5:10 pm

jmcnrick

so wht can i con you into selling my book for the Center at NEYM?

5:11 pm

MollyL

I can see it now. "J" Magazine (with JMC on every cover), The JMC Book Club.

5:11 pm

lynxxx

You are right there Peri...it was quite fashionable her in the early 70s...we bought a set but never got past the first try...very involved

5:11 pm

jillibus

I guess the mah jongg my mother played and taught me back in the China days was a simplified version. It was a lot like rummy as I recall. Haven't played since then but I have her beautiful set in a lacquer box.

5:12 pm

periwinkle

I made some new friends at the qnd food paantry where I volunteer on Mondays and they invited me over today. they have been playing for 5-6 yers and still have troubles with the game

5:12 pm

jillibus

It was quite the fad in the 30s there.

5:12 pm

wht

You don't have to get me to do it. They have a whole bookstore there.

5:12 pm

jmcnrick

it has always seemed hard when i have tried to learn the rules

5:13 pm

jmcnrick

mmmm so i should just get it in the bookstore. thanks I will look into it. I don't think I can make NEYM this year

5:13 pm

periwinkle

I will give it at least one more trey, the women are very nice. the apt where we played today was gorgeous!!

5:13 pm

jmcnrick

i will talk to jonathan

5:13 pm

periwinkle

try even

5:13 pm

dan2bit

the way I learned mahjong it is basically like playing rummy with dominos

5:13 pm

wht

I played Mah Jongg as a kid. My parents had a set left over from the 30's.

5:13 pm

dan2bit

and only 3 suits. the scoring is tricky though

5:13 pm

jmcnrick

well if they didn't make you feel the fool you should go for it peri

5:14 pm

11:07 pm

I didn't think Lickety would or could do that

11:07 pm

licketySplitAUS

That is definitely the worst attempt at uploading a photo I've ever seen

11:07 pm

joey

ok, I didn't want to be the first one to bring up kittens, but I have to give a progress report. The last one was adopted last night and mama spent the whole night crying outside my door

11:07 pm

If Lickety will fix your picture, then, mrp, get him to slim yours down!

Hi everyone. Mrp - just use your photo editor and make it square ;-)

Yeah, thanks Lickety, you are within arse kicking distance and I can't miss THAT target!!

11:10 pm

joey

no, her, I was keeping a kitten. But - a friend of mine lost her second one in 3 months on Sunday and her kids were out of their minds. She asked, I gave. She went to a good home

11:11 pm

jillibus

Poor mamacat!

11:11 pm

herinfernallady

Awwwww. That is so sad. Tell said friend to keep kitty inside

11:11 pm

mrpresident

I am at the moment rebooting my ovarian operating system... so can't do anything complex!!

11:12 pm

jillibus

understood, mrp.

11:12 pm

joey

kitty slipped out when dad went out in the middle of the night to check his grill progress. she had never been out before and wandered into the path of a big dog. so so sad.

11:12 pm

joey

mama cat is outside my window right now, seems to be settling down a bit

11:12 pm

jillibus

oh no, joey!

11:13 pm

mrpresident

oh dear joey!!

11:13 pm

mrpresident

welcome to babble pro terri!! **clap clap clap**

11:13 pm

terri1

Oh poor puss! My kitty is an inside boy, too.

11:14 pm

joey

I felt so bad for the kids. They don't know, think that someone picked her up and are little enough that they don't realize how bad the story is

11:14 pm

joey

my cat is inside. I have actually carried her outside and she hates it. Jumps out of my arms to go back inside

11:15 pm

herinfernallady

That is bull crap poor kitty and poor kids. I hope the kitty stays inside. I remember you were worried about inside kitty getting all polly pissy pants about the kitten

11:16 pm

joey

I don't know what you think is bull crap. The last two nights they were running all through the house chasing each other. Willow moped for a while. We had really bad storms last night and tornado sirens going off, she wouldn't leave my feet

11:17 pm

mrpresident

my cat is outside, she is definitely not an indoor puss

11:17 pm

herinfernallady

No the kitty going missing is bullcrap. Sorry for the confusion.

11:17 pm

mrpresident

oh joey! I am so sorry you are going through this stuff

11:17 pm

joey

it is hard to have an outside cat here. Too many coyotes, too many big birds.

11:18 pm

joey

MRP, the only damage so far is a broken globe on a light. However, I haven't been on the roof yet.

11:18 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry for teh confusion. I fail totally at multitasking

11:18 pm

joey

it was nervewracking though. very scary.

11:20 pm

i can't imagine it joey

11:21 pm

Sorry for the confusion Joey

11:22 pm

joey

s'ok her

11:24 pm

yes, she is sitting on the ledge right next to me - but I am inside, she is outside

11:25 pm

Well at least she is safe

11:26 pm
