good morning

2:33 am

Kazzer99

morning all - off to the sad event soon - i will be back later i expect. Need to get the tissues etc - advise on protocol - can i take a camera to take photos of the funeral flowers?

2:34 am

Haz1558

Yes, Kazzer, you can.

2:34 am

rubyfoo

good morning, kazzer. I am sorry to know nothing about funeral protocol to help you. Bear up!

2:34 am

Kazzer99

thanks haz

2:35 am

Haz1558

Good wishes for a sad day.

2:45 am

Kazzer99

thanks Haz - its atrange - i dont feel too bad at the moment but i am not sure how i will feel later

2:47 am

Haz1558

I think any funeral where the death is unexpected has an air of unreality about it - the kind of feeling that this can't and shouldn't be happening. I suppose you feel a responsibility for helping to support your sister through this. You can't anticipate how you're going to feel.

3:15 am

mrpresident

evening all :)

3:30 am

rubyfoo

hi mrp! how are you doing?

4:40 am

mrpresident

my good news is that I got new glasses, I can now see far, near, and close (reading) all from one set of glasses!! i can barely notice the distortion from one to the other.
I see long distance from the top of glasses, middled distance from middle of glasses, and reading distance from bottom of glasses... working a miracle!!

mrpresident

I am getting disposable contacts for long distance vision so I can referee football... we are not allowed to wear glasses

4:45 am

mrpresident

I get a whole season worth for $130

4:46 am

mrpresident

if you rub your eyes, look at tri-focals for sure

4:46 am

ursh

Here we get a free trial pair of disposable contacts to see how it goes - must go and get organised

4:46 am

ursh

but the tri focals sounds promising - note to self - get bum into gear!!

4:47 am

mrpresident

yes, we do too, I am being fitted on sunday morning for 2 of my afternoon ref games

4:47 am

mrpresident

luv ya ursh!! you will do well with tri-focals

4:48 am

mrpresident

I am stunned at the difference!!

4:49 am

mrpresident

I can watch tv, play babble and look at my outlook for beautiful sunsets!! just amazing the difference... I definitely would go for it ursh!! **hugs**

4:52 am

mrpresident

we are able to claim back on income tax here for glasses/contacts if we need them for work

4:53 am

6:50 am

Trifioso

well, THAT killed the chog!

6:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

Babble has been really moving slow for me all week

6:55 am

Trifioso

I find there is always less chat on big grid days, as people are busy finding words

6:56 am

Trifioso

or maybe car is furious at me, and thus ignoring me? I just don't know

6:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

Babble has been really moving
slow for me all week

6:58 am

MollyL

I'm not ignoring you Kap. : D

7:01 am

MollyL

Or you Trif.

7:01 am

Trifioso

it's fine molly. really!

7:02 am

MollyL

How was graduation?

7:02 am

Trifioso

primos? it's saturday....

7:02 am

MollyL

Oops, thought it was yesterday

7:04 am

Trifioso

thats fine! I appreciate you remembering....you are so good at that! you always remember little special things from everyone's lives, and you always ask. you are such a dear babbler

7:05 am

car.eeyore

Hello again...

7:05 am

MollyL

High school graduation was very emotional for me, all three times.

7:05 am

Trifioso

Hello car! did you see my earlier post about tertiare?

7:05 am

BzznBea

You graduated from high school three times, Molly?

7:05 am

car.eeyore

Yes. I am sorry I can't make it.

7:05 am

mrpresident

hi car, trif, molly, bea et al **hugs**

7:06 am

MollyL

Har dee har Bea. With all three of my kids. : D

7:06 am

car.eeyore

can you video tape it?

7:06 am

Trifioso

not that kind of thing.....it's okay.

7:06 am

Trifioso

I will take still photos

7:06 am

car.eeyore

OK, cool!

7:06 am

Trifioso

I thought mom might like it....I have to go right to work after, so I cant drive her home is all

7:07 am

car.eeyore

I have too much to do this morning.

7:07 am

BzznBea

I wasn't too emotional when my girls graduated from high school. More like relief that they made it. Especially the youngest.

7:08 am

Trifioso

well, I have been telling primo all week that we should expect me to cry a bucket full. that way, if I am okay, it will be a pleasant turn out for us all

7:08 am

Trifioso

I am so proud of him, and all he has accomplished

7:08 am

car.eeyore

Do you need me to do / bring anything...besides watch the house?

7:09 am

Trifioso

nope, not at all!

7:09 am

MollyL

I think high school graduation is such a huge transition. Kids leave the know world of schooling and venture out into adult living.

7:09 am

Trifioso

btw, I am heading your way after work today, to check out the painting. so sorry about yesterday, fiona's appt took foreverrrrrrrrrr

7:10 am

car.eeyore

7:11 am

SEriously, no need. It will be fine.

it's funny how sometimes you are specifically looking for a word and you think, too bad it's not there, and then you get the list and go through and realize, in fact, it is there.

9:00 am

Mr Bob

Good morning all

9:45 am

Judi

I always thought those were just called "cowboy hats".

9:46 am

rastapopolous

I don't see any g's or l's for "ten gallon" hat either lol

9:46 am

Haz1558

Obviously not a very helpful clue.

9:47 am

Judi

Apparently the cowboys in the UK wear something else.

9:47 am

Roxbi

It helped me, Haz :)

9:47 am

SueMagee

I liked it, Haz. Thank you.

9:47 am

ivesy3

9:47 am

Haz1558

See, the Brits know!

9:48 am

SueMagee

The cowboys in the UK wear white vans, Judi.

9:48 am

Judi

Really? Well, giddyup.

9:50 am

CadFan

THanks for the hat clue!!

9:50 am

rururocks

oh you mean golfer sue

9:50 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. The non-clued-in-cowboys can carry on scratching their heads.

9:51 am

Judi

*pouting*

9:51 am

SueMagee

No - in the UK a cowboys is someone who does poor work for the over-charged customer. They all seem to work out of white vans.

9:51 am

MollyL

I think the hat Haz is referring to starts with an "st"

9:53 am

CadFan

LOL - when you said white vans - I thouhgt you meant the Vans brand of shoes!

9:53 am

Judi

Ah. Hat named for John B. St-----.

9:56 am

rastapopolous

It's true I don't think we Americans use hat names much. I only know tuque and toque because of word games like this

9:57 am

MollyL

He's the one Ruru. I hear he um...herded sheep.

Fedora, beret, boller, stovepipe, beanie, ballcap, helmet, etc., etc.

9:58 am

rastapopolous

I see fedora and bowler etc and I know they're hats but it brings no picture to my mind

9:59 am

DR1965

Hi Ruru

9:59 am

rururocks

hi Dr

9:59 am

rastapopolous

hmmm I don't think of helmet as a hat.

9:59 am

lbdawger

that brand of hat is also a stinky men's cologne brand name

10:00 am

Judi

Easter bonnet, pillbox, all that silly fluff the women wore to the Royal Wedding.

10:02 am

rastapopolous

ah I didn't watch the wedding. I know pillbox is a hat, but again it brings no picture to my mind. I guess I'm hat ignorant. I have figured out this hat, though.

10:02 am

MollyL

Fascinator, Sombrero, Coonskin, Derby, Pillbox

10:03 am

MollyL

Oops you said pillbox

10:03 am

MollyL

A fedora is what Humphrey Bogart wore in Casalblanca

good morning, Babblers! today is a magnificent day.

10:08 am

I think they are actually called Coolie Hats. Sometimes Mandarin hats.

10:08 am

Judi

I think they also doubled as woks.

10:09 am

rastapopolous

lol

10:09 am

rururocks

too many injuries cooking with them judi

10:11 am

Judi

Does a lampshade count as a hat?

10:12 am

rururocks

10:12 am

Judi

*lamp shade* rather.

10:13 am

EvaNadine

Let us not forget our cheese head friends in Wisconsin.

10:15 am

MollyL

Eva, how is your Dad?

10:16 am

EvaNadine

no change, unfortunately.
they are still running lots of tests. he is supposed to see a neurologist at some point.
poor mom was so exhausted last night, she didnt even call to give an update...instead just texted that there was no real news.
:/

10:17 am

Judi

Hello, Eva. Ugh. It's so frustrating waiting for information like that.

10:17 am

MollyL

Aw, poor Mom. Continued prayers that they get to the bottom of this and Dad starts feeling better.

10:18 am

forwardbyfaith

hi all - does anyone have the last be6,24?

forwardbyfaith

10:20 am

EvaNadine

i might try to head down there this weekend.
im terrible with visiting people in the hospital, but i know i probably should.
and at the very least, i could take mom out to lunch and/or help her run errands or clean the house or something. im sure shes been neglecting basic stuff to be at the hospital with him.

10:21 am

Judi

I'm sure she'd be greatly appreciative of anything you do, Eva.

10:24 am

Kenny Chuck

Can't find fr5/8. Any clue?

10:25 am

Kenny Chuck

Got it!

10:30 am

Judi

Tm6. That's just cruel.

10:32 am

Erda

All the RE words is cruel, too...

10:32 am

MollyL

Eva, I know how you feel. Visiting people in the hospital is not my thing either.

10:33 am

MollyL

The definition of the tm word is pretty cruel too.

10:35 am

Judi

lol, Molly. That it is. I found the definition much more confusing than the word itself.

10:37 am

Judi

*cough cough* I think I'm coming down with tmerculosis.

10:41 am

Judi

Time to ponder lunch. BBL. *POOF*

today i have no crossys tidbit but a nice happy story if you are all patient while i post it..it is about half a page...

12:52 pm

crosshair

Today while going to a oncology appt,i saw something I would share with my babble friends. Please excuse the grammar,punctuation and any other errors i may make as this is a bit of beauty I am sharing and not a university entrance exam lol...For the last week or so we have had lots of rain in this area and as a result of that the trees are in full bloom and the grass lush and healthy. We were driving along a bit of highway that was wide open on our left and along range of small grassy hillocks of about 15 feet in height on our right that carried on for about 2 miles or so.......

12:53 pm

crosshair

Today is our first sunny day in a while and although bright wish sunlight it is also very windy(i would hazard a guess at 50 mph crosswinds) but a fine day for all that. We were relishing the crisp clean air and the sunshine and I was enjoying the way it brought the colour of fire in to my wifes long hair and and a smile to her face as she held my hand in encouragement and in anticipation of a clean bill of health....

12:53 pm

crosshair

Land and sea are friendly adversaries of old,the one being permanence at rest and permanence in motion,one standing firm while the other seeks to gain a foothold and chip away at the other,but today I saw land change its look and just for a moment or two flatter its old adversary the sea.....

12:54 pm

crosshair

The wind as I said was coming from the west and cutting across our bow as it were and striking upon the grassy hills in such a way that the wife and I smiled and laughed in delight at the effect it had on the tall and vibrant grass. The wind was making the tall grass bend over and ripple in light and dark greens in a pattern much like waves dancing upon the ocean .Watching it shimmer and dance across the hill like that made the illusion so real that I almost expected to hear the green waves crash on some unseen shore over the other side of the hill. Even the odd bright dandelion among the grass joined in the mirage,dancing in delight like a small startled saffron fish. W watched a moment longer as the green waves of grass whipped back and forth and the dandelion fish dove for a moment only to surface again to soak up the sun and we drove on..

12:54 pm

crosshair

A camera we did not have and would of done it no justice,a video camera we do not own,so this for you is a snapshot taken my my minds eye and written down here to share with you

Kazzer99

oh that was a while back then - was there a micro brewery in the pub then as well?

4:02 pm

stidgmere

We also went to Forde Abbey and Chardstock while there. Such a delightful area of the world. Of course back inthe 1600s ancestral types thought the New World sounded more promising. Hence, we are here.

4:03 pm

Kazzer99

I really like Forde Abbey - we usually go to their Pick Your Own - the strawberries are legendary

4:03 pm

stidgmere

Don't know about the micro brewery. We got to go up into the bell tower of the church. We also walked a ways on a public pathway.

we are all getting our hair done on Saturday but at different places. But tomorrow we are all going to the same place

Well thank God for that Mom. Red, glad you got good news. : )

6:10 pm

((Molly))

6:13 pm

could i have just the stats for that tm please?

6:13 pm

Vicuna

(Just popping in to say that the tm word is a fabulous word for a fan-bloomin'-tastic word, which means sticking a word into the middle of another word, like I just did. My favorite example is "a whole nother.")

6:14 pm

Mom

((Cross)) tm 6/21

Great logic. Look like an idiot at a formal British event because your Mom wasn't invited. *Rolls eyes*

The film of the tornado forming right over the Connecticut river is pretty amazing.

7:38 pm

Does anyone know if the tornado touched down in Norwich, CT Thanks

Thank you so much, MollyL. My youngest daughter lives there.

With the exception of a certain hockey game which didn't go so well either.

7:50 pm

wht

Well, maybe crossy liked the outcome of the game.

7:50 pm

MollyL

Yay Canucks!!

7:51 pm

uusue2

gapeach, I have a friend whose sister lives in Somers, CT, which is much closer to MA than Norwich is, and the closest tornado to them was in Springfield, MA. So I am sure your daughter's town is fine (it is quite far from MA)
