good morning everyone:)

6:46 am

car.eeyore

Hi Crossy!

6:46 am

crosshair

often temp files and cookies will bung up a exe file you are trying to open

6:47 am

crosshair

use c cleaner weekly or if using google chrome,use it cookie and temp file cleaner daily

6:48 am

crosshair

google has a incognito optuon which will avoid temp files and cookie build up as well

6:49 am

7:25 am

Trifioso

primo is free all day, and he has a credit card, if that helps?

7:26 am

car.eeyore

But of course! However, I doubt he wants to go shower curtain shopping with au4ie! Besides, we would have more fun together.

7:27 am

Trifioso

hmmm. we will find a time. how did the boys go at their games yesterday?

7:28 am

Trifioso

oh, and for the record, MY to do list for Primo today is to spread the 4 yards of sand I had delivered. he may well prefer shower curtain shopping!

here is my amusing anecdote for today: Primo is getting his Eagle Scout rank at his Court of Honor on Friday night. Traditionally, Eagles' write to people they admire to request congratulations letters, which are then read out at the ceremony. Usually it's state senators, the president, people like that. Primo's list? Samuel L Jackson, the CEO of Coke, David Fincher, Edward Norton, Steve Jobs and Harrison Ford. LOVE that boy of mine!

7:49 am

If I'm going to sing Buffet, it's going to be "Fins"

Samuel L. Jackson tells a great story about playing golf with a group of ministers (who won a contest to play golf with him) and when one of their cell phones rang, , it was the Ezekiel speech from "Pulp Fiction"

Loving the story about the guy who paid his "in dispute" $25.00 medical bill with 2500 pennies. He did ask if they accepted cash payment before he plunked his pennies down.

You'd have to check the currency act ... I heard at one time that the currency rules only required a retailer to accept 25 unwrapped pennies ... more than that and they just refuse it and you still haven't paid the bill ... ... but I always intended to payoff the final payment on my mortgage in pennies ...

Much better, Annie! She is being weaned off sedative and narcotic meds so is crabby and sleepy, on a small amount of extra oxygen, is drinking and eating, but very weak and tired. But SOOO much better--she had some very frightening days.

Crossy, at the store on Saturday the people in front of me at check out were buying filet mignon wrapped in bacon and guess who I thought of?

8:19 am

crosshair

hehe

8:20 am

EvaNadine

so-so, scrabs. the doctors basically say there isnt any ONE thing causing his decline. basically, it is bad nutrition, too much drinking, lack of any exercise (or movement, really) whatsoever.
as for not being able to walk, they have diagnosed him with "neurological neuropathy from acute spinal arthritis" and are making plans to move him to a nursing home for rehab. how long he is there depends on him, more or less.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Every sight or mention of bacon makes me think fondly of Bacon Boy!

8:20 am

crosshair

:)

8:20 am

crosshair

i am sorry bout your da eva;(

8:21 am

Scrabbler

So the advantage of that Eva, is that he will not be able to drink. And, yes, it is up to him. Does he want to get better?

8:22 am

EvaNadine

i know he wants to BE better.
the real question is if he wants to GET better.

8:22 am

crosshair

my da had the same thing going 2 years ago,super heavy drinker,diabetic,his thiamin levels went for a dump on him and he was foind near death after a week or so of not eating and severe comfabulation..he was in hospital for over 3 months and half the time did not know his own kids

8:22 am

EvaNadine

thanks, crossy. from what mom says, he at least sounds better. back to his old self, personality-wise at least.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

He must take one day at a time towards healing of his body, mind and soul.

8:24 am

MollyL

Scrabs, good news about the wee one. Eva, I hope your Dad takes this as his wake up call to get healthier.

8:25 am

Scrabbler

My challenge now, nothing in comparison to a kid or parent being ill, is my little old bunny, Sebastian. I am contemplating euthanasia and I hate making this decision.

8:25 am

crosshair

poor bunny:(

8:26 am

EvaNadine

sadly, i doubt he will change his lifestyle that much. he has been in rehab a few times for drinking, and he has had 2 heart attacks. docs tell him to drop drinking, stop smoking, eat healthier + exercise more. he does it briefly, but then slips back into old habits.

8:26 am

near end of average life span scrabbs?

8:27 am

EvaNadine

oh, scrabs, that is never an easy decision to have to make.

8:27 am

Poor Sebastian..hard decision but his best interests should prevail

8:28 am

crosshair

as a doc,you know that when it becomes clear the the quality of life is not longer there,tough decisions must be made

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Older than average life span--just turned 9--oldest bunny I have ever had. The most special bunny ever--until 18 mo ago he jumped in bed with me at bedtime and throughout the night. I would wake up and find him next to my head, or at my feet.

8:29 am

Anniebrook

Oh, what a lovey

8:30 am

crosshair

it is hard..poor bunny,poor scrabbs:(

8:30 am

Scrabbler

My difficulty is that I am leaving on vacation June 18th (hiking Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion Natl Park) so I must either leave him at vet's office for care while I'm gone (stressful for him to not be at home) or have him euthanized before I leave. I am leaning towards the latter, but I hate that my vacation will dictate my decision.

8:30 am

MollyL

Aw Scrabs, I'm sorry you have to make that decision about a pet that you love.

8:30 am

what a difficult decision Scrabs.

Twice daily I clean up his bottom, apply cream, give him medicine, and he is not happy about it. Yet, he is happy to get salad plates morning and evening.

8:31 am

periwinkle

aww, what a sweetie

8:32 am

Scrabbler

He is so skinny--so much loss of muscle.

8:32 am

I am going through the same thing with my 15 year old Westie Scrabbs, fortunately my in laws are taking care of him while I am gone...didn't want to make that decision and then go on vacation

sounds like it is time;(

8:32 am

15, SS? Wow! We sure love our pets!

8:33 am

it is never an easy decision to make

8:33 am

periwinkle

mu cat is 15 and a half with kidney problems and pees outside the box but otherwise is ok

8:33 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Crossy, and I think it is better to let him go peacefully rather than have a miserable week at the vet's while I am gone.

8:33 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, It sounds as if Sebastian is at the end of his long life...ask yourself, could you leave him at the vet and worry about him as I know you would..no matter what decision you make it is very hard

8:34 am

SeaSpray

He is like my 3rd child, this has been really hard on me, I keep nursing him but I know it is inevitable

8:34 am

periwinkle

I agree Scrabs and e may die at the vets without you near and that would be worse, imho

8:34 am

Scrabbler

I told Sebby that he may move on, that he + I will be OK.

8:34 am

crosshair

when it get to the point that you are keeping the bunny around just for you and the life he leads is no longer a good one,it is time

8:34 am

Yes, Peri, I agree.

I feel as though I am just waiting for Sebastian to stop eating so that I know it is time, but that is probably too late--too much discomfort for him.

8:36 am

ty Scrabbs...will be thinking of you as you and Sebastian

8:37 am

The end of our pet's life is inevitable, and I do hope they would peacefully fade away in their favorite hang-out, but that never happens.

8:38 am

It did for my 17 year on Himalayan Scrabbs

8:38 am

Scrabbler

So, I am spending more time cuddling and snuggling him and will likely let him go in the next wk.

8:39 am

crosshair

wise choice i think scrabby

8:39 am

Scrabbler

So the cat was comfortable, SS?

8:39 am

EvaNadine

i remember i had to make "the call" about my old cat. my parents had just had to have our old dog put down 2 weeks prior, and then our cat, who had never shown signs of even so much as a cold just got very, very, ill, and the vet said it was time. mom told me i had to decide, since she couldnt go through it again.
its such a difficult decision to make. im so happy that you have some time to spend with him first.

8:39 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, Deep inside you know it is the right thing to do for him

8:39 am

Scrabbler

TY all for listening and providing advice and support.

8:40 am

SeaSpray

I do believe she was

8:40 am

babble is unique in this way

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Because he cannot jump up in bed with me anymore I lift him up and cuddle with him--he licks me.

8:41 am

Scrabbler

And I give him his favorite treat: Cheerios. I tell my bunnies that wild bunnies do not eat Cheerios.

8:41 am

Scrabbler

(or banana)

8:42 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, you are bring tears to my eyes...you are a special owner (the best)

I give my bunnies wonderful lives--loose in their own rooms, salads twice daily, lots of love.

8:42 am

Max has developed severe allergies this past year and has a strict diet...but I have been giving him a few banana chips now and then...I figure what the hey

love him,give him his treats in this last time together,then when it is time for him to go to his rest you can be happy knowung he felt nothing but love at then end and he in turn gave love back tenfold

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, How are Mary"s children?

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Crossy

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Annie, they are doing well. John (just turned 7) bought a plant at school for Mother's Day and planted it at the base of Mary's memory tree in the front yard

8:47 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, Time does move on quickly. John, seven, how old are the other children?

8:47 am

MollyL

That's nice that they have the memory tree. My son just made a memory stone for his Dad.

8:49 am

Scrabbler

The little one, 3, does not know who Mary was, just knows of this person in heaven. The oldest (10) is in counseling now due to concerns related to Mary's death--afraid she will forget what Mary looked like, the memories, etc. She is the only one with clear memories. John was 4 when Mary died and no longer has memories. He saw a pic of her with their Dad a few months ago and he asked who was that woman with Dad.

8:49 am

Scrabbler

How old is your son, Molly? And when did your husband die?

8:51 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, I feel for the 10 year old but she is getting help and will be okay. Very sad for all the children including Mary's husband.

8:51 am

Scrabbler

(LOL, bunny Miss Beatrix Potter, my downstairs' bunny, is on the bottom shelf of the coffee table, staring at me)

8:51 am

MollyL

My son is 19. His Dad (my ex) died in December of 2009.My husband died the following May. So my son lost his Dad and his Step Dad pretty close together.

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Yes, he wakes up every morning without her and realizes that what happened was real.

8:52 am

Anniebrook

Oh Molly, so sorry

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Molly, that is a lot to cope with.

8:53 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, I hope Mary's husband is going for help too.

8:53 am

Scrabbler

Nope--very stoic, in-control physician.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

I must get going now. TY, friends! Enjoy the day!

8:54 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, IMHO, he should be receiving help also.

8:54 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, Have a good day.

8:55 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Annie, but he wants to "handle it on his own. It is what it is. Life must move on."

8:55 am

Scrabbler

That is what he says.

I thought that word was spelled with an "e" at the end. It's frustrating how this game breaks it's own rules. to4 is a proper noun, but hey, it's acceptable.

isn't garroting something mobsters do? and wouldn't garrot therefore be a word? i'm confused.

11:29 am

garrot is indeed a word

I think it's a form of strangulation

just not as far as enable is concerned

You're right, that would be the proper way to clue it, jmc. Only the clue was getting repeated and referred to, and it got mangled.

12:05 pm

congrats, wvteach

12:06 pm

Haz1558

I have to stress that squabbles are emphatically NOT about religion since those who are quarrelling have probably not seen the inside of a church for years. The religious labels are more indicative of past political views and whilst mostly things are calm, sometimes you get hotheads who haven't the wit they were born with.

12:06 pm

Thanks for the clarification, Haz

12:07 pm

Haz1558

If Catholics and Protestants are in disagreement, it's more to do with nationalist aspirations on the one side versus loyalist feelings on the other.

Theology definitely doesn't come into it.

<---- Knows hers came from County Kerry

12:17 pm

Haz1558

BabbleRabble, I do think it has to come from every individual being determined not to carry on the bad stuff. My political views have changed markedly over the past 30 years, mainly because I've realised the cost of holding onto resentment and bitterness.

12:18 pm

o-o

Frankly, I wish more in the U.S. would choose to make the future better ... good for you, Haz .... we need some introspection as well.

12:19 pm

Haz1558

We're always praised for being hospitable and kind to visitors - some of us now have to learn to be kind to each other!

12:21 pm

uusue2

this is a good thing, haz - may more of us learn it before it is too late!

12:23 pm

Haz1558

Absolutely. The problem is that the Irish, like elephants, have remarkably long memories. We need to develop selective amnesia.

12:24 pm

uusue2

I don't think this is peculiar to the Irish; most of the long-term conflicts in the world could do with a large dose of amnesia.

12:26 pm

o-o

Politics - the quest for power - has little to do with what is best for constituents.

12:27 pm

Dorens

amen, unfortunately

12:27 pm

Haz1558

I like to think that there are some politicians who at least begin their political careers with some thought of helping their community.

12:28 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Dorens.

12:28 pm

Mom

good afternoon everyone

12:29 pm

uusue2

I like to think that too, haz, but the pressures of getting elected and then re-elected seem to fuzzle the thinking of many of them

12:29 pm

uusue2

and hi, dorens and mom!

12:29 pm

Dorens

Hello Haz. And I like to think that too, but it's increasingly difficult here. It seems that our politicians are more and more in a position of purchasing their constituents, and lobbyists have far too much influence
Hi mom!

12:29 pm

Dorens

and hi sue too!

12:29 pm

Mom

hello uusue

12:30 pm

Mom

Hello Dorens, Haz, and Babble Rabble, nice to see you all again

12:30 pm

Haz1558

I get the impression that money plays a much bigger role in US politics than it should. The whole presidential race is astonishing - I know it's not at that level all over but still.

12:31 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Mom.

12:31 pm

Haz1558

Your son and new daughter-in-law look very happy. Congratulations!

12:31 pm

o-o

I do not think I have ever been more cynical about our leaders than I am right now ... apathy or zealotry

12:32 pm

Mom

Thank you, Haz.

12:32 pm

Dorens

Yes, and then remember how George Bush stole the election in the first place. Horrible. I think our electoral process really needs revamping. democracy? doesn't seem like it

12:32 pm

Mom

Yours is right around the corner!

12:32 pm

Dorens

Oh Mom, the wedding was this past weekend? How wonderful.... all went well?

12:33 pm

Haz1558

8 weeks 4 days. Not that anyone is counting.

12:33 pm

Mom

It was beautiful. Everyone had a great time. The rain held off until 10:30 p.m.

12:33 pm

Dorens

Will it be a big wedding haz?

12:33 pm

Dorens

Oh that's wonderful Mom, glad to hear it.

12:34 pm

Mom

not long at all, and of course you are not counting

12:34 pm

Mom

oh me too, Doren, me too

12:34 pm

Haz1558

At the prices the hotel is charging, far too big... I'm just doing the invitations, we're inviting up to 100, but the reality will be closer to 80.

12:34 pm

Mom

that is a nice size, Haz

12:35 pm

Dorens

sorry, have to get back to work... nice to see you all

12:35 pm

Haz1558

We've often laughed at the Steve Martin character in Father of the Bride where he stresses about inviting people he's never heard of and rejoices when people can't come. We're feeling more and more sympathy for him.

12:35 pm

Mom

we had 14, and it was outdoors.

12:35 pm

Mom

nice to see you as well ((Dorens))

12:36 pm

uusue2

bye, dorens!

12:36 pm

uusue2

and lol, haz! 14 sounds like a good size to me, mom!

12:36 pm

Mom

it was just parents, grandparents and siblings

12:36 pm

Mom

oh and the siblings dates

12:37 pm

Mom

I can't imagine doing a wedding today with what things cost.

12:37 pm

Haz1558

Tradition here is that you have tea/coffee shortbread after church service, and then full evening meal served around 5 with more food provided at 10, just in case we're feeling peckish.

12:38 pm

Mom

are they marrying in the morning, Haz?

12:39 pm

Mom

sounds like a lot of food. :-)

12:39 pm

Haz1558

12.30 in the afternoon. Apparently it takes hours to have photographs taken.

12:40 pm

Haz1558

We love food!

12:40 pm

Mom

:-)

12:41 pm

Mom

so you will need a hat... have you gotten it already?

12:41 pm

Haz1558

I do.

12:42 pm

MollyL

*Not supposed to tell, but Haz bought Princess Beatrice's hat at the auction* : D

12:44 pm

Mom

good for you, Haz.

12:44 pm

Mom

Well it is not wonder that Haz is fretting about the cost of the hotel after spending all that money for the hat

12:45 pm

Haz1558

Â£80,000. For a hat.

12:45 pm

Haz1558

Okay, must get tea ready. Enjoy the grid!

12:45 pm

Mom

bye Haz, so good to see you

12:45 pm

uusue2

well, you can have my bit for now -- I have some time. will be subbing when the new school year begins. For now, I am assessing our financial status. *sigh* there is a lot to catch up on.

2:17 pm

stidmama

okay, that's me with NBT and halfway. back tonight if I can stay awake. I have been overly sleepy the last few days, I think it's the let-down from not having deadlines.

4:48 pm

Oh sorry to hear that Ruby.

4:49 pm

rubyfoo

he's doing his Dr Jekyll/Mr. Hyde impersonation today.

4:50 pm

car.eeyore

Oh bother.

4:50 pm

uusue2

oh, dear :-(

4:50 pm

hego

Poor Ruby

4:50 pm

rubyfoo

but I'm OK, just makes it difficult

4:50 pm

hego

My hubby is home also

4:50 pm

crosshair

give him 2 of crossys long island iced teas and he will go nappies

4:51 pm

hego

He had foot surgery, so we're imprisoned here.

4:51 pm

rubyfoo

he's sleeping like baby and I'm having lemonade and cold pizza, not so bad

4:51 pm

hego

He's cranky also.

4:52 pm

rubyfoo

can he get around, hego?

4:52 pm

hego

thank you Percocet. lol

4:52 pm

uusue2

men are a pain in the butt when they are ailing, aren't they, hego?

4:52 pm

uusue2

except for crossy, I am sure :-)

4:52 pm

hego

He's in a wheelchair, Ruby

4:52 pm

crosshair

pardon?

4:52 pm

crosshair

ahem... i am a rock i feed on pain...lol

4:52 pm

rubyfoo

I'm thinking more in terms of rohypnol or prozac!

4:53 pm

hego

Yeah, right Crossy

4:53 pm

rubyfoo

do you have stairs in your house?

4:53 pm

crosshair

but croosy will not turn down a oxycocet lol

4:53 pm

rubyfoo

<-- loves crossy

4:53 pm

hego

Our master suite is on the first floor.

4:53 pm

hego

So it's not too bad.

4:54 pm

hego

We all love Crossy.

4:54 pm

rubyfoo

that's either luck or good planning; our house is on 3 levels and falling has become a big problem for husband

4:54 pm

hego

But we don't live with him.

4:54 pm

hego

I'm sorry to hear that Ruby.

4:54 pm

rubyfoo

he keeps falling but says that I'm the one who falls all the time. Hard to argue with that!

4:55 pm

uusue2

well, you could always just agree with him, Ruby! that might quiet him down for a minute.

4:55 pm

hego

Our complex is a retirement community so that is taken into consideration

4:55 pm

rubyfoo

today I thught he was going to shoot me with his BB gun as he was after his nemesis, the heron who eats his fish and I gave a mild suggestion....

4:55 pm

hego

Uh oh

4:56 pm

rubyfoo

it got a little scary, but he calmed down when I made him uncock the gun

4:56 pm

hego

Cheez, Ruby!

4:56 pm

uusue2

Can you "lose" the BBs?

4:56 pm

crosshair

take your nail file when he is sleeping,open the breech and file down the firing pin..he does not need to be playing with a thing like that at his age..chasing herons...good grief

4:56 pm

rubyfoo

how much damage could he do to me with a bb?

4:56 pm

hego

good idea

4:57 pm

hego

It hurts, though

4:57 pm

uusue2

a lot if it hits you in the eye or something, ruby

4:57 pm

rubyfoo

I've never handled a gun, would probably shoot myself in the foot

4:57 pm

hego

I like herons, actually

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

i wouldn't know a firing pin if i saw one

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

4:58 pm

hego

Me neither

4:58 pm

rubyfoo

neither would I, I'm afraid, I feel like such a wimp

4:58 pm

hego

hi JMC

4:58 pm

crosshair

just file the pin down..or if it is a compressed air type,push a pin therough the gasked that seals the air in the pressure cannister

4:58 pm

crosshair

gasket

4:58 pm

rubyfoo

and this heron is gorgeous and bold. He's grey with blue and white shoulders and enormous

4:58 pm

uusue2

hi, jmc!

4:58 pm

hego

too complex

4:58 pm

rubyfoo

it is thrilling to see him in the garden

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

why does that make you feel like a wimp? don't be hard on yourself see who all said that they didn't know

4:58 pm

crosshair

oh..wish i was there to help you ruby

4:59 pm

rubyfoo

wing span must exceed 4 ft

4:59 pm

uusue2

sounds like a gorgeous bird, ruby!

4:59 pm

jmcnrick

is there a animal protection league that could come out and help?

4:59 pm

hego

Wow! i wish I could see him

4:59 pm

rubyfoo

we have a very animal-friendly garden -- no pesticides, lots of different fruit and flowers, a basin/fountain with goldfish and a tournesol feeder for the little birds

5:00 pm

rubyfoo

plus two very sweet dogs who consider the whole thing dog TV

5:00 pm

rubyfoo

I'm afraid they'll deport us

5:00 pm

hego

You must have the garden whipped into shape by now, Ruby

5:00 pm

uusue2

lol, ruby!

5:00 pm

rubyfoo

Ruby watches the little birds for hours, while protecting the house, of course

5:01 pm

crosshair

i got it ruby,there is a sight at the end of the barrel,just get a pair of pliers and bend that sight ever so slightly to the left..he will not be able to hit anythig with it:))

5:02 pm

rubyfoo

it is beautiful right now, even with the drought (not over). Full of flowers -- 9 or 10 different kinds of roses, spriea, pellargonium, geraniums, impatiens, campanile, all pink, rose, red, violet , blue and white

5:02 pm

uusue2

here's a link about protecting your pond from herons, ruby; it's from Geneva so relatively local: http://www.meetup.com/GenevaPond/messa
ges/boards/thread/861842?thread=861842

5:02 pm

hego

I remeber when you were just beginning

5:02 pm

crosshair

good idea sue

5:02 pm

rubyfoo

and the day lilies started today, even though they don't match, they were here when we bought the house, one of the few things

5:03 pm

rubyfoo

sallycats from England put me onto pond nets which worked for a year but husband doesn't like cleaning them

5:03 pm

hego

Time to get dinner. G'nite all.

5:04 pm

uusue2

night, hego!

5:04 pm

rubyfoo

he wants zero input from me now, says what do I know about ponds, after all I'm from NY

5:04 pm

rubyfoo

bye hego, it was lovely to see you, I'll have to play this late more often. I hope your husband recovers quickly

5:05 pm

uusue2

one of the suggestions in this article is fish line about 30 cm above the pond surface, ruby, not enough to be able to see, really, but enough to confuse the birds

5:05 pm

uusue2

he thinks there are no ponds in NY??

5:05 pm

rubyfoo

the nets worked perfectly and I put an antique bronz heron from Japan on the rim of the pond whichhelped, too

5:05 pm

crosshair

caution with that sure..you may end up with a tangled up heron

5:06 pm

rubyfoo

he knows I'm a city girl and that this is my first garden

5:06 pm

redturtlehead

hi all....

5:06 pm

crosshair

howdy red

5:06 pm

rubyfoo

that happened with me the first year we had cherries. We put a net over the tree and the birds got under it and I had to get them disentangled

5:06 pm

rubyfoo

hi red

5:07 pm

uusue2

here's what they say: We've seen the pond of one member of our club which incorporates a similar principle, but without using tall plants. She stretches fine clear nylon fishing line in a zig-zag pattern across her pond, about 30 centimeters above the water surface. This almost invisible grid even keeps birds from wading through the pond, let alone spreading their wings to fly off with her koi. Other ponds keep the birds out by having the fishing line stretched just outside their perimeters, also about 30 centimeters above the ground. Birds landing nearby try to walk into the pond, but are confused and stopped by this simple barrier, so they fly off to find a more accessible pond.

5:07 pm

crosshair

we have never had this problem as we welcome our blue herons and we have a large bay close by

5:07 pm

uusue2

and hi, red!

5:07 pm

rubyfoo

I am always rescuing errant birds in the house because we keep it open all day

5:07 pm

redturtlehead

I think with 64 words, I have found al the regular ones...

5:08 pm

rubyfoo

sue, I think you'll have to come over to tell him about it, because hearing it from me won't work

5:08 pm

redturtlehead

it will not take FogHat

5:08 pm

rubyfoo

the biggest one was a beautiful hawk which I carried out by the shoulders, magnificent creature

5:08 pm

MollyL

We were discussing that this morning Red. You may now feel free to sing a chorus or two of "Slow Ride"

5:09 pm

uusue2

redturtlehead

As addicted as I am to watching the Casey Anthony trial - I am amazed it took me so long to find the li 4/4...

6:25 pm

MollyL

She is pathological, isn't she?

6:25 pm

CadFan

for sure.... how awful to be her parents and nw realize what a monster you raised...

6:26 pm

CadFan

now realize that is...

6:27 pm

MollyL

I did some research on pathological liars when I was an undergraduate Psych major. They are morbidly fascinating. And they think the webs they weave are so deceptive, but they always trip themselves up.

6:28 pm

periwinkle

hi all, ga6/24 pls

6:29 pm

CadFan

Fascinating I'm sure - wish I knew more about such things. So - do you believe the abuse accusation? Some say she exhibits classic abused child behaviors - I don't know but again - no idea there - other thansomebeliefs and personal exposures to abused people

6:30 pm

blueheron

Hi all:) Molly, I was married to a pathological liar(( Notice 'WAS':)

6:31 pm

herinfernallady

Hi

ga 6/14 = girl + civil disobedience is a r***

Bless you Heron, glad that is behind you. They are soul vampires.

6:32 pm

ty but I need ga6/24 pls

6:32 pm

LuvWordGames

sorry, meant 6/24 not 14

6:32 pm

MollyL

Cad, I think Anthony's defense team is pulling out all the stops to ensure a "not guilty by reason of insanity plea". Hard to tell if the abuse allegations are true or fabricated.

6:33 pm

blueheron

They are aren't they?

6:33 pm

herinfernallady

My ex is a b.s artist but the thing is I always knew he was full of sh##

thanks Molly, I was clueing it for peri

6:34 pm

periwinkle

2nd ga6/24 is what I need, sorry

6:34 pm

MollyL

People who lie all the time, always trip themselves up. They can't keep up with their lies. Alas, the internet has become a playground for such folks.

6:34 pm

MollyL

I clued the second ga 6/24

6:34 pm

herinfernallady

The stupid thing is most people leave digital traces and it isn't hard pull them up

6:35 pm

periwinkle

don't get your clue, Molly

6:35 pm

herinfernallady

The other is when people say ''I was on the 6am flight to London'' when you can easily go to the airline websites and see that there is no 6am flight from home to london

6:35 pm

periwinkle

Nm, just got your clue, Molly, ty

6:36 pm

CadFan

My feeling too Molly -

6:36 pm

6:37 pm

MollyL

Then there are the people who make up mythological lives on the internet, but can't successfully spin those tales. They are easy to spot because they never use their real names or locations.

6:37 pm

CadFan

They're also easily traced using their ISP number

6:38 pm

uusue2

hi again, all! I am home! (Really!!!)

6:40 pm

MollyL

My husband had this guy on one of his message boards, pretending to be happily married, so he would be "safe" for all the ladies. Of course, he started hitting on them. Turned out he was a middle aged guy who still lived with his Mom.

6:41 pm

MollyL

Believe me, after helping my husband maintain some of those boards, I've seen it all when it comes to internet creeps.

6:41 pm

herinfernallady

Molly you sure you are not talking about my ex?

6:41 pm

uusue2

and hi, herin, molly, luv, peri, cadfan

6:42 pm

MollyL

Scary to say Herin, but it could have been. Once they get found out one place, they commence stalking somewhere else.

6:43 pm

herinfernallady

My ex still lives with his mum and full of crap.

6:43 pm

LuvWordGames

hi sue

6:43 pm

uusue2

if you can't see the photo (in the link) - downtown here is at the crossroads of two state highways; right where they cross there are railroad tracks that cross diagonally, and there is a truck stuck on the tracks.

6:44 pm

uusue2

these are busy tracks, we get about 40 trains/day (all freight)

6:44 pm

herinfernallady

And he has no excuse in living at home. I have one friend that has a ligit reason to live at home and he is in his late 30's, brain injury means he can't live alone as he just forgets things sometimes

6:44 pm

uusue2

<--- also has an ex who is a pathological liar

6:47 pm

herinfernallady

Sue with that truck I would so want to recaption that as ''just put that any were''

6:49 pm

uusue2

lol, herin! I didn't walk by it on my way home (figured they didn't need any more onlookers) but things will be a mess for a while I am sure!

6:50 pm

herinfernallady

What sort of truck?

6:50 pm

herinfernallady

I mean what was it carrying?

6:50 pm

MollyL

Pathological liars get pretty easy to spot, once you know their pattern. They all have a "sympathy hook". Disease, abuse, addiction, etc. And then, they become expert at telling people what they want to hear. I call that the "charm hook". They usually have people totally infatuated with them, right before they get exposed for the lying liars they are.

6:51 pm

Hello...yet again!

6:51 pm

uusue2

8:35 pm

John Harvard was not the founder of Harvard University. It was first known as Cambridge University, and was established in 1636 by the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It was only after the young Puritan minister passed away in 1638, leaving much of his estate to the institution, that the school was renamed for him.

8:35 pm

CadFan

We once has dogs... Bob and Marley...

8:35 pm

bichon

I don't. Besides, they don't care what name I call them

8:35 pm

Minveryork

Hi crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:35 pm

bichon

that's cute. When we got them, I looked for paired names on a web site

8:36 pm

Minveryork

My parents had two golden retrievers.I thought that they should have been named Dumb and Dumber.

8:37 pm

CadFan

LOL

8:37 pm

Goldens are relatively smart dogs. Bichons were put on this earth just to sit in your lap and relieve stress

8:37 pm

Minveryork

I've found a to 5/10 of 110 words so here's a story of clues to help you hu 4/5 for some more words. My Au 4/5 introduced me to Babble and I have been hooked ever since.I can't be a li4/4 and say I'm not addicted to Babble, because I am. I like to to4/4 with the grid every day. Husband wishes babbling was not leg4/6. However, I fa 4/7 to see what is wrong with fi4/7ing my free time with Babble. I will not fa4/7 for his guilt trips.It is not my fa5/18 that I'm addicted to Babble. I fl 4/7 out refuse to give it up&asking me to do so is a very ta 4/4 order. I told hubby that he knew about my addiction when we got married at the al 5/10 and that it was a very huge part of my li4/7. My babbling puts him in a ra4/6. My husband tries to fo4/7 every attempt I make at babbling. When that doesn't work he starts ra4/4ing and raving. I'm going to go sweep the ha4/5way. I have to ha4/5 babbling for now, but I will be back in chog in a ha4/8 hour.Later ga 5/14s!

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

some kids like spicy because no one told them that they shoudn't

9:18 pm

dcseain

well, when she eats what i make for myself, it's always much spicier than the food her parents make, so she's learned to expect it from me.
