1:42 am

haha flosey -- thought you would be!

1:43 am

jillibus

thx -- had to go to morewords for some of the weird and useless ones

1:43 am

flosey

too early I guess, just can't sleep this early in spite of aching and being very tired

1:45 am

flosey

aha, got another 7, ma6 and 7

1:45 am

melonheadjujube

hi, flosey, it's almost 3 am here, but I'm up achy, too.

1:45 am

jillibus

that's ma6lous

1:46 am

flosey

indeed, jilli

1:46 am

flosey

and sorry melon

1:47 am

jillibus

doesn't some Tylenol (or generic) help? It does forme.

1:47 am

jillibus

flosey -- lovely sunset picture

1:48 am

melonheadjujube

s'OK. I have fibromyalgia and if I overdo it, I pay. Substitute taught Mon and Tues, then cooked a huge meal for friends tuesday night, stuffed shells with tiramisu for dessert, all from scratch. All worth it :)

1:48 am

MissOmnibus

My mum has fybro, melon... I feel for you :( /hug

1:49 am

flosey

oh, sounds lovely, I do love tiramisu

1:49 am

jillibus

Sounds yummy, melon!

1:49 am

jillibus

hello MissO

1:50 am

melonheadjujube

tx MissO. jilli & flosey, it was yummy. My own recipeâ€”well, I never make it twice the same, but this one was esp nice. I also made coconut chicken soup for lunch today, but that was easy since I started with baxed broth. I like to cook, and I love it when people eat my cooking.

1:51 am

melonheadjujube

boxed!

1:51 am

flosey

the soup sounds great too melon, I like almost anything coconut

1:51 am

melonheadjujube

sorry about thety4s - my other spcialty ;)

1:52 am

jillibus

I'm about to make a whole lot of chicken stock, from the bones of several supermarket bbq birds.

1:52 am

melonheadjujube

I love coconut. The canned milk goes bad once you open it, and it is fattening, so I freeze it in ice cube trays to have a little bit at a time to add to curries, puddings, etc.

1:52 am

melonheadjujube

bbq stock - wow!

1:53 am

melonheadjujube

speaking of pudding, here's another phantom - tapioca

1:53 am

jillibus

it's tasty -- very little bbq flavour left, though.

1:54 am

flosey

I make a carrot soup with coconut milk, chicken broth, cardamom, etc

1:54 am

melonheadjujube

mmmmm!

1:54 am

melonheadjujube

the best people are on babble -we are such an interesting compatible bunch!

1:54 am

jillibus

I make that orange-asparagus bisque with coconut milk instead of cream, and freeze it. So easy and good.

1:55 am

flosey

I love picking up recipes

1:55 am

melonheadjujube

nice!

1:55 am

flosey

that sounds interesting jilli, must ask for your recipe

1:56 am

jillibus

I thought I'd sent it to you, flosey, but will anyway.

1:57 am

flosey

I make a quick and easy ice cream using the frozen pina colada mix and a can of coconut milk - tossed into the ice cream maker and ready for dessert

1:57 am

flosey

oh, I don't remember jilli

2:00 am

flosey

checked my recipe file, not there

2:02 am

melonheadjujube

one of the tr7s is easy if you're a D
Detroit Tigers fan from a few years back...

2:02 am

jillibus

Already emailed, flosey.

2:03 am

jillibus

melon, you hit the hiccup!

2:03 am

flosey

is that the first tr7/32?

2:04 am

flosey

thanks jilli

2:04 am

jillibus

I always thought the tr6 (&7) had a dbl cons in the middle. Phooey on enable.

2:04 am

melonheadjujube

only if you're a Detroit Tigers fan, jilli ;)

2:05 am

jillibus

I see it has no dictionary definition

2:05 am

melonheadjujube

Alan - shortstop - double the two consonants that would be adjacent in the alphabet.

2:06 am

melonheadjujube

oh, and jilli, that dress... hot stuff!

2:06 am

flosey

went to a house party Saturday night - pot luck supper and watch the game - ONE friend arrived sporting the WRONG shirt!!

2:07 am

jillibus

Oh sin, flosey!

2:08 am

jillibus

melon, I loved that dress -- a gift from hubby!!!

2:08 am

melonheadjujube

What a gift; he knew what looked good on you!

2:09 am

melonheadjujube

all the 7s, nbt, and > halfway - mediocrity attained!

2:10 am

jillibus

It was knitted with glittering gold yarn, could be scrunched into a small space for packing with no crushing. Had to wear a silky "underdress" though.

2:12 am

flosey

looks lovely jilli

2:12 am

jillibus

Ah, them were the daze...

2:12 am

flosey

maybe that's why I thought you had been blonde - think we've seen the pic before

2:13 am

jillibus

Yes, you have.

2:13 am

flosey

you'd have suited blonde hair too

2:14 am

jillibus

I'll scan some other old pix when I get my new all-in-one printer (and get it hooked up).

2:15 am

jillibus

I don't have any recent pix since the babble gathering that August.

2:16 am

jillibus

If I could figure out how the camera on my laptop works I'd take some of me.

2:18 am

jillibus

Any clues needed? I need my bed pretty soon...

2:20 am

flosey

not getting the third tr7

2:21 am

melonheadjujube

2:22 am

flosey

thanks melon, working on it

2:23 am

jillibus

2:26 am

jillibus

2:27 am

flosey

2:28 am

jillibus

2:28 am

But, as that year wore on, Dora was not strong. I had hoped that lighter hands than mine would help to mold her character, and that a baby-smile upon her breast might turn my child-wife into a woman. It was not to be. The spirit fluttered for a moment on the threshold of its little prison,and, unconscious of captivity,took wing....this is your tidbit of the day.it has to be the most eloquent way of phrasing this time of loss that i have ever read in my life..and good morning everyone

Thanks stid. Abigail, stop yelling at me.

10:07 am

stidmama

sue, temporary orders can be issued by police in some areas

10:07 am

rururocks

order of protection from what uu?

10:07 am

uusue2

it's not a big leak but any water coming into my house other than through pipes is irritating

10:07 am

stidmama

also, be clear if you want a protection order or restraining order -- they do different things.

10:07 am

i am sorry sue..is there some grief in your life atm that i have missed whist prattling on like i do?

10:08 am

uusue2

my son's gf - she came in and trashed his room yesterday including smashing the door jamb (he'd locked the door to keep her out and she broke it to get in)

10:08 am

uusue2

I do not want her anywhere near my house

10:08 am

stidmama

hey ruru

10:09 am

crosshair

so she is treesspassing on your home and destruction of private property..she best be careful

10:09 am

uusue2

I think it's a restraining order - just so she keeps away

10:09 am

stidmama

since I don't know the way things work in your state, have you called the state DV hotline? They can advise you, and help you find a lawyer too (likely)

10:09 am

rururocks

have her arrested by the police

10:10 am

uusue2

haven't tried that yet, stid, and my son doesn't want to get the police involved (they started dating when he was 18 and she was 16, 3 years ago, and she's threated to charge him with statutory rape)

10:10 am

stidmama

agree -- at least file the report with them, as ruru says

10:10 am

stidmama

she damaged your property. Report it, and then decide if you want to prosecute.

We reported a hoodlum in our neighborhood a couple times. Just having the police visit the house to investigate got the parents' attention and the issues stopped.

10:11 am

uusue2

she also broke his glasses a couple of weeks ago but I don't have them so no proof

10:11 am

rururocks

was he dumb enough to have relations with her being a minor?

10:11 am

uusue2

he was although she is no longer a minor

10:12 am

uusue2

(and the age difference is small, 2 years, although the law doesn't care)

oh boy that really complicates it.

10:12 am

uusue2

sigh

10:12 am

stidmama

actually sue the law MIGHT care if they were both minors when the relationship began. In our state a difference of less than 2 years is important

10:13 am

rururocks

yes so they have a foundation of info

i have taken to riding in the front car because it is far less crowded. it sometimes means i miss the first shuttle out of the station, but i would rather stand there waiting for 5 minutes than be stuffed in a cramped train car for a half hour.

12:42 pm

Judi

Thanks, uusue. I was thinking of her.

12:43 pm

Judi

My hubby's away in Maryland on business, staying overnight in a hotel. He complained how hot it was last night. I asked him, "Does the hotel have a pool?". He just blinked at me. Which means he never even thought of that. Men.

12:44 pm

uusue2

ar6 is Spanish for gulch (usually a dry one)

12:44 pm

uusue2

judi, she was on around 7:30 this morning if you want to look back in the archive

12:44 pm

Kazzer99

12:50 pm

Kazzer99

scots word?

12:50 pm

Kazzer99

oh - the one for bigger then perhaps

12:50 pm

Glantarell

scots words - dodgy keyboard not typing every letter

I have Verizon, Peri. Largest network, best coverage. Don't get any of the cheapo phones, though.

12:56 pm

uusue2

peri, I have an HTC Inspire with AT&T; three of us are on a family plan (I like the rollover minutes). We have 1400 minutes/month, unlimited texting, and 2 of the smartphones are on a 2 Gb/month plan while the other one is on a 200 Mb/month plan

12:56 pm

uusue2

the whole thing is not cheap but I am happy with the service and I LOVE the phone

12:57 pm

uusue2

I have had extremely bad experiences with Verizon and would never use them again (but ymmv)

12:57 pm

Judi

I don't send or receive texts, so I only pay about $35.00 per month. Will get texting when I get new IPHone in August.

12:59 pm

crosshair

12:59 pm

crosshair

A 17th century childrenâ€™s game called â€œdibstonesâ€ was similar to what we call â€œjacksâ€ today, only back then sheepâ€™s knuckles were used instead of little metal gizmos.

1:00 pm

uusue2

1:00 pm

EvaNadine

i currently have Verizon and i have a pretty much unlimited plan (unlimited minutes, unlimited internet, unlimited texting). i have never had a problem with the company, and my service is great. added bonus, they are the only provider who gets good service inside my office building. :)

1:03 pm

lbuxx

AT&T recently revamped their family texting plan.. it now includes unlimited mobile to mobile minutes. We have a fam plan so I was able to lower my minutes since everyone pretty much has a cell.

If Haz was here, she'd faint at our grammatical faux pas.

1:17 pm

suefrad625

why lbu, you are such a sm7

1:17 pm

MollyL

When I was little, there was a Japanese actor named Sessue Hayakawa. (Bridge On The River Kwai). I used to say "Sessue" for thank you, and the people in my family said "Hayakawa" for your welcome.

1:17 pm

Glantarell

do you have small round flat chocolate sweets in a candy shell which come in a tube?

1:17 pm

1:18 pm

EvaNadine

glan -- here, they arent covered on chocolate...

1:18 pm

LeslieAnn

seriously, i want some of the chocolate ones!

1:18 pm

Glantarell

they are nice - especially the blue ones!

1:19 pm

EvaNadine

leslie, i think theirs are a little closer to our M&Ms...sorta.... but not like our SM7s covered on chocolate...

1:19 pm

Judi

Nom nom nom! Sounds good, Glant. Share!

1:19 pm

uusue2

true, eva, there is a candy here with the same name that is little disks of what is essentially pure sugar (with a bit of color and flavor)

1:19 pm

LeslieAnn

ah. i was thinking necco wafers anyway, not sm7s

1:19 pm

uusue2

the european ones are very similar to M&Ms

1:19 pm

Glantarell

http://canadiandgal.blogspot.com/2010/

1:20 pm

Glantarell

M & Ms are bigger and crunchier

1:20 pm

lbuxx

oh.. got it.. yeah here they are sugar candy

1:20 pm

Judi

Neco wafers suck!

1:21 pm

uusue2

yeah, the "disgusting" ones in that photo are what I was trying to describe (and I think glant might belong in the PB for that url...)

1:21 pm

EvaNadine

i much prefer british candy to american candy. i just think the combinations are much more interesting.
except for snickers. i will still keep my snickers, thankyou. :)

1:21 pm

Oh the heated discussions I had with my Canadian husband about sm7s and rockets.

1:21 pm

Glantarell

judi i know your profile note about your new adoptee is about the cat, but i think it's funnier to consider it mr. bill

1:22 pm

Judi

Snickers is the perfect candy bar, Eva.

1:22 pm

EvaNadine

so true, judi. i could eat it for dinner...heh

1:23 pm

MollyL

I can't believe they still sell Necco Wafers. They are the most choke-able candy there is.

1:23 pm

Judi

Mmm. Snickers pizza.

1:59 pm

when we remodeled the kitchen, I went to the stoneyard with a cabinet door to pick the granite. I thought I'd be doing a lot of baking (at least that's what I told my husband)

1:59 pm

westford

westford

A is getting better

3:23 pm

uusue2

bummer, jmc :-(

3:23 pm

jmcnrick

yeah this week has totally sucked

3:24 pm

jmcnrick

i did get a half-hearted apology at least

hego

Uh oh!

3:25 pm

westford

3:25 pm

jmcnrick

i am still glad she got the job and think she will do a great job but this transition is way more rocky than i would have hoped

3:26 pm

westford

when is the transition?

3:26 pm

hego

JMC can handle it. ;-)

3:26 pm

westford

you bet !!

3:26 pm

jmcnrick

jmcnrick

3:29 pm

periwinkle

hego

3:29 pm

uusue2

hego

Ah, an amusement resort!

3:32 pm

jmcnrick

then a week in western maryland and finish up my quaker work hosting 2 keyans for a week

3:32 pm

jmcnrick

more of a real family park with mild rides and great roller coasters and a pool and campground and picnic area

3:33 pm

jmcnrick

i hate amusement parks and i love this place

3:33 pm

hego

You should be able to avoid the mean lady fairly well.

3:33 pm

uusue2

I am in central Illinois, jmc, just north of I-88 (you would probably take I-80, and we are about an hour north of that, but I-88 is pretty much parallel)

3:33 pm

jmcnrick

I could come by on my way back I am leaving July 11 at the crack of dawn from Washington Iowa--coffee and babble?

3:34 pm

jmcnrick

I could hand deliver my book if I manage to actually finish it

3:34 pm

uusue2

that would be utterly fabulous, jmc!

3:34 pm

jmcnrick

ack! split infinative!

3:34 pm

uusue2

only a problem in Latin, jmc :-)

3:35 pm

hego

You're allowed

3:35 pm

jmcnrick

being from texas originally i really don't mind driving

3:35 pm

jmcnrick

that is how i "read" bleak house (what a great book!)

3:35 pm

periwinkle

bbs

3:35 pm

hego

me too.

3:35 pm

jmcnrick

no my mother is SPINNING in her grave that i would do such a terrible thing

3:35 pm

jmcnrick

hb peri

3:36 pm

uusue2

send me a message on facebook, jmc, and we can get the details figured out

3:39 pm

westford

back from checking out Knoebels looks really great

3:40 pm

westford

we have friends in Mechanicsburg

3:41 pm

westford

have to ask if they know about it

3:42 pm

jmcnrick

whew have i mentioned how much i hate facebook?

3:42 pm

jmcnrick

i am sure they do west

3:42 pm

MollyL

Nothing terrible about listening to books on CD. I love it. I feel like a kid again, having someone read to me.

3:42 pm

jmcnrick

i love it because i don't have to pay 50 bucks to people watch while my kid and now my friends ride rides

3:42 pm

uusue2

well, you have my regular email too, jmc; I'll send you a message

3:42 pm

westford

lol jmc it just grabs hold and won't let go

3:43 pm

MollyL

I'm not a big fan of "All About Me" Book either, JMC.

3:43 pm

jmcnrick

i wouldn't mind it if it would quit changing where and what i do to contact people

3:43 pm

jmcnrick

everytime i am on there i swear they have moved things around again

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

i do uu? I get so confused as to who is who sometimes i want to spit

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

the nice part of facebook is i found my daddy's nephew

3:45 pm

MollyL

Sue, send JMC an email so she won't be confused. I'll fix her a drink.

3:45 pm

westford

I saw that crossy joined he was the main reason I quit cuz he was such a harbinger of doom and gloom re FB

3:46 pm

westford

I'll probably join again so I can see what everyone is up to..no one answers emails anymore

3:46 pm

MollyL

Don't you love it when people "cross over" like that.

3:47 pm

westford

sounds like he's having fun

3:47 pm

MollyL

That's what I don't like about Facebook. It's made people too lazy to email. Well, most people.

3:48 pm

westford

we're having a huge family crisis right now and thankfully one daughter is keeping me informed

3:48 pm

westford

the rest are all 'friends' and tell each other what's going on

3:48 pm

jmcnrick

too early in the day for a drink except the retsina i have for lunch

3:49 pm

jmcnrick

I answer emails

3:49 pm

westford

remember telephones? lol

3:49 pm

westford

ooh jmc did you have greek food too?

3:50 pm

jmcnrick

yes i had kabob chicken over a greek salad and demaldes

3:50 pm

westford

yummy

3:50 pm

jmcnrick

my son only texts me now

3:50 pm

MollyL

Telephones? I remember letters. *Insert sound of creaky bones*

3:50 pm

westford

lol molly

3:51 pm

westford

our son in law still writes thank you notes

3:51 pm

jmcnrick

my hubby was a big letter writer i feel sorry for all these kids that will only email cards to remember

3:51 pm

MollyL

I refuse to get into the text craze. If my kids want to communicate with me, they can make their fingers dial 7 numbers and speak.

3:52 pm

MollyL

Or 10 numbers.

3:52 pm

westford

I almost hate to call anyone and get the answering machine..seems no one just picks up the phone anymore

3:52 pm

jmcnrick

my son swears he remembers dial phones

3:53 pm

uusue2

having notes on paper is really nice, letters and cards...

3:53 pm

rubyfoo

back for a couple of minutes doing laundry (!!) I agree with you about FB, mostly it's too much information

3:53 pm

westford

hi ruby

3:53 pm

rubyfoo

I love letters but type them on the computer, then mail them

3:53 pm

uusue2

on the other hand texting can be handy (it's how my stepbrother and I communicate; he could do it in the hospital when he couldn't make calls)

3:54 pm

westford

they have their good and bad points

3:54 pm

rubyfoo

I don't even have a mobile phone

3:54 pm

uusue2

and hi, ruby!

3:54 pm

rubyfoo

hi westford (must go in and tickle the washing machine) brb

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

oo one of scrabs' bunnies died:sebastian

3:55 pm

westford

I have a pink princess dial phone with a rotary dial

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

*hands ruby a feather*

3:55 pm

westford

aww poor bunny and poor scrabs

3:55 pm

uusue2

I saw that, jmc, very sad

3:55 pm

westford

was he her oldest one?

3:55 pm

uusue2

too funny, west! I remember when those first came out...

3:55 pm

rubyfoo

terrible when pets die....I grieve for my various dead dogs

3:56 pm

uusue2

(the princess phones, that is)

3:56 pm

westford

it was in the house when we moved here

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

now if i could figure out who she is on fb and figure out how to contact her i could send condolences

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

i think so west

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

brb

3:56 pm

MollyL

Well, I guess The Universe took that out of Scrabs's hands. She was getting ready to euthanize him.

3:56 pm

westford

great big clunking wall mount

3:57 pm

MollyL

I have a rotary dial phone. Comes in handy when the power goes out.

3:57 pm

westford

it's good then..he was ready to go

3:58 pm

westford

love how the conversation just switches

3:58 pm

redturtlehead

jmc, she did put a post on FB about the rabbit yesterday so you can probably find it. Hello All.

3:58 pm

rubyfoo

our phones are electric so when the power goes out, oftenhere, no service

3:58 pm

westford

hi red

3:58 pm

rubyfoo

hello red, how is your hip?

3:58 pm

westford

we're having Florida weather in RI

3:59 pm

redturtlehead

I think it is OK. No walking still...

3:59 pm

redturtlehead

I heard. My sister took all of her Seniors to Block Island today!

3:59 pm

westford

where have I been ? did you fall?

3:59 pm

westford

that will be nice and cool..great boat ride too

4:00 pm

redturtlehead

I had some hip surgery, but no I did not fall, it is a little complicated.

4:00 pm

westford

how are you getting along?

4:00 pm

rubyfoo

this is such a lovely late-night group

4:01 pm

westford

all the more now that you're here ruby

4:01 pm

redturtlehead

I'm doing ok Westford, bored, and tired, and we will not know much about the success of the surgery for several more months, so I am learning about being patient. very patient.

4:02 pm

westford

the nurse is the patient patient now

4:02 pm

dianedecoder

FW ! ....now to wait for the call from the hospital.... I'm going to be a Great Grandma in minutes !!.... the first one :-)))

4:03 pm

redturtlehead

Very exciting Diane!

4:03 pm

westford

oh diane how wonderful

4:03 pm

uusue2

yay, diane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (for both things!!!!!!!!!!!!)

4:03 pm

dianedecoder

so very much !!!

4:03 pm

dan2bit

yay diane!

4:03 pm

westford

and yay for fireworks too

4:03 pm

rubyfoo

that is lovely news, diane

4:03 pm

MollyL

Diane!!! So excited for you!!

4:03 pm

westford

do you know what the baby is?

4:04 pm

westford

and are you close by?

4:04 pm

dianedecoder

she's been having a tough time... this little mommy is only 4 ' 11 inches.... and baby is stubborn and face down.... they've just taken her into OR for a C section.

4:04 pm

MollyL

<---- Still not so patiently waiting to be a Grandma

4:04 pm

dianedecoder

It is a little girl.

4:04 pm

westford

sweet !!

4:04 pm

uusue2

oh, dear, diane, best of luck to her!!!

4:05 pm

redturtlehead

All will be well soon enough I hope Diane!

4:05 pm

dianedecoder

This granddaughter is 26.... we've been wanting a wee one around again ( Youngest granddaughter is 12.... no baby anymore )

4:05 pm

rubyfoo

c-section sounds like a great idea. If men had to have babies, the human race would have died out long ago

4:05 pm

westford

might be a 12 pounder like jmc's son

4:06 pm

dianedecoder

I'll be in to share the news... I'm very excited

4:06 pm

rubyfoo

aaarghh

4:06 pm

dianedecoder

I love babies

4:06 pm

westford

me too the more the merrier

4:07 pm

dianedecoder

I'm going to put a casserole into the oven but will leave Babble chat open.... I'll be back .

4:07 pm

westford

4:08 pm

Soodle

Just wandered in... (((((Diane))))) Such happy news. Congrats!!! And ((((Ruby)))) fancy meeting you here..... (I owe you a long letter..... its 'being wrote'.....) Hows Burt?

4:08 pm

westford

no matter how messed up the world is the birth of a new baby seems to put it right

4:08 pm

uusue2

hi, soodle!!

4:08 pm

rubyfoo

Burt is Burt....'nuf said

4:08 pm

dianedecoder

:-))) We won't be seeing the baby tonight... I'm still a little shaky from one of those X-rays with the "white stuff" this morning LOL.

4:08 pm

westford

hi sood

4:08 pm

uusue2

and bye, all, I am going home, bbl!

4:08 pm

Soodle

Very well put, Westford. How right you are.

4:08 pm

Soodle

Hey and bye Sue :-)

4:08 pm

rubyfoo

his mood swings are getting pretty wild

4:09 pm

dianedecoder

Hi soodle... long time NO SEE !!

4:09 pm

rubyfoo

bye sue

4:09 pm

westford

bye sue see you soon

4:09 pm

uusue2

(it is down to 59 degrees after being 98 yesterday - I might even want my jacket!!)

4:09 pm

westford

ruby you are a living saint

4:09 pm

Soodle

Well, hey there, great grandma!!!!!! ((((((Hugs)))))))))))

4:09 pm

dianedecoder

and that is so true, westford

4:09 pm

rubyfoo

no, I just gnash my teeth a little and pet dogs....it helps

4:10 pm

dianedecoder

well , not quite soodle.... soon though. I'll be posting a pic on FB in due time :-)

4:10 pm

Soodle

Rubes..... I don't think I have ever seen you here this hour... Are you OK my friend?

4:10 pm

rubyfoo

my son's wife doesn't want children so I'll never have the experience. Anytime somebody wants to lend me one, I'll be very welcoming....

4:11 pm

rubyfoo

tough couple of days; I'd rather do laundry and chat than go to bed

4:11 pm

westford

please post one here too diane

4:11 pm

westford

you can have our oldest daughter ruby she's leaving her husband of 24 years and moving from Massachusetts to Seattle

4:12 pm

westford

all on a whim

4:12 pm

rubyfoo

she must be very brave!

4:12 pm

westford

or very nuts

4:12 pm

rubyfoo

do you think she'll change her mind?

4:12 pm

westford

her own kids are okay with it ...for now

4:12 pm

Soodle

Is it a mid-life crisis, Westford?

4:12 pm

dianedecoder

will do westford

4:13 pm

westford

he's never been the best of husbands but he was taken completely by surprise

4:13 pm

rubyfoo

better to do it while she's young enough to start another life

4:13 pm

westford

thanks diane..I tried FB as you know and just couldn't do it

4:13 pm

Soodle

Diane, are you close to the mom-to-be? Will you see the baby in real life soon?

4:15 pm

rubyfoo

waiting too long isn't such a great idea. I left my 1sat husband when I was 27 and waitedand waited almost 30 years to re-marry

4:15 pm

westford

true enough ruby but here's the clincher she's going out there to live with the son of a friend of mine from junior high school they met when he brought his son to visit back in 1984

4:15 pm

rubyfoo

but oh those in-between years!!!! splendid, mostly

4:16 pm

MollyL

Well Ruby, you certainly gave yourself "enough time between relationships" : P

4:16 pm

rubyfoo

you never know, he might be "the one". Let's all hope so

4:16 pm

rubyfoo

no regrets, that's for sure

4:16 pm

westford

so far they're just 'friends'

4:16 pm

Soodle

<----- Getting images of Ruby in Grease...... wella wella wella OOOOh, tell me more, tell me moe........

4:16 pm

Soodle

more

4:16 pm

rubyfoo

it was a great period of my life

4:17 pm

rubyfoo

that's for our collaborative book, soodle

4:17 pm

rubyfoo

we'll stock up on liquid refreshments and probably get it done in a week

4:17 pm

Soodle

Ah!!! The Rooble Book!! A Babble First!!!!

4:17 pm

rubyfoo

we'll both make some money

4:18 pm

westford

crossy can sell it in his book store

4:18 pm

rubyfoo

or the Sooby book

4:18 pm

westford

I like Sooby Rooble myself lol

4:18 pm

rubyfoo

I just have to change ALL the names

4:19 pm

westford

will we all be in it?

4:19 pm

rubyfoo

and make flow charts and chronologies

4:19 pm

rubyfoo

especially mine!!!

4:19 pm

Soodle

LOL. I guess the Rooble/Sooby book will be more of money spinner than Moll's incantations.... (I have been in an attitude of outstretched arms, saying 'Lord I am willing to recieve' (to no avail) for weeks now..........

4:20 pm

westford

still haven't won that lottery?

4:20 pm

rubyfoo

I'm a fast typist but had better do it before I am too old and I start forgetting

4:21 pm

rubyfoo

I guess I had better trudge on upstairs and face the music.....

4:21 pm

Soodle

Not yet, West.... but still chanting.....

4:21 pm

MollyL

I vote for "Women Of Substance" as a title. And please, folks, don't take advice from me about anything.

4:22 pm

rubyfoo

what's funny is that husband has never asked me questions about my past and I know EVERYTHING about his and all of his exwives'

4:22 pm

Soodle

(((((((((((((((Rubes)))))))))))))) <--- Mega hugs!!!

4:22 pm

rubyfoo

4:23 pm

westford

bye and hugs ruby and all I'm trudging too

4:23 pm

rubyfoo

what I've learned though is that all the old boyfriends start to look like monkeys when they grow older....except the one who looks exactly like Viggo Mortensen (a nice Irish boy)

4:23 pm

Soodle

((((((Westford))))) We will keep a chapter free for our Babble friends, right, Rubes?

4:24 pm

rubyfoo

not Viggo, mine lol

4:24 pm

rubyfoo

for sure. Perhaps we can all write chapters, then anonymity will be easier. Locations would probably have to be changed, too

4:25 pm

MollyL

RUBY! You had a boyfriend that looked like Viggo AND YOU LET HIM GET AWAY???? *Faints*

4:25 pm

rubyfoo

get to specific and problems could arise.....

4:25 pm

redturtlehead

Oh My, I leave to cook spaghetti and I come back to all sort of love and steamy affairs. Woweee.

4:25 pm

dianedecoder

Baby is here.... no details.... the "Grandma" has blackberried a picture to my other daughters but I haven't seen it.... All is well !! YAYYYYYYY

4:25 pm

rubyfoo

we lived together for 4 years after my divorce and he was beautiful, I used to have him pose for me

4:25 pm

rubyfoo

too* specific

4:26 pm

MollyL

Congratulations Diane!!!

4:26 pm

rubyfoo

YAY and congratulations, diane

4:26 pm

Soodle

YABBA-DABBA-DOO! WELCOME TO THE WORLD, BABY GIRL.

4:26 pm

redturtlehead

congratulations Diane!!!! what a lovely occasion!!!!

4:26 pm

dianedecoder

My story is a little boring but wonderful... started dating my hubby at age 17, married at 20 and we just celebrated our 51 st wedding anniversary.... but it could make a good story LOL

4:26 pm

rubyfoo

{{big group hug}} maybe I'll start working on an outline.....

4:27 pm

MollyL

*Picturing Ruby as Greg Kinnear in "As Good As It Gets*

4:27 pm

rubyfoo

I never saw that....hmm

4:27 pm

dianedecoder

Be back later..... wheeeee !!

4:27 pm

dianedecoder

and THANKS, everyone !!!

4:27 pm

rubyfoo

mine definately isn't boring and even has some scary parts

4:28 pm

rubyfoo

definitely (I had better remember how to spell before I start writing....}

4:28 pm

Soodle

Ruby!!!! Shame on you. Get thee hence to the video shop and get 'As Good as It Gets' An absolute Must See!

4:28 pm

rubyfoo

OK

4:29 pm

rubyfoo

*poof*

4:30 pm

Soodle

((((Nite Rubes))))

4:30 pm

MollyL

I love the part when Nicholson tells Helen Hunt she makes him want to be a better man.

4:32 pm

Soodle

From start to finish, that film is perfect. The casting was superb, the acting second to none. Definitely, after The Wizard of Oz, my favourite film of all time.

4:33 pm

MollyL

My very favorite part is when Helen Hunt screams at her mother "I JUST WANT A NORMAL BOYFRIEND!" and Mom quietly replies, "We all do dear."

4:37 pm

Soodle

My favourite bit is when the secretary person is gushing at the Nicholson character, wondering how he gets into a woman's mind, and he does his siloquay.... about imagining a man, and taking away logic etc etc. No other actor but Nicholson could have got away with that scene :-)

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

i think i won't tell my story except the part with my hubby--too many men could have their feelings hurt if i forgot one

4:47 pm

MollyL

*Wonders if JMC was Pat Benetar's inspiration for that "before I put another notch in my lipstick case" line*

4:50 pm

uusue2

hmmm, chat ate my post again :-(

4:50 pm

uusue2

anyway I am home.

4:52 pm

uusue2

24 left and I am going to list as I am once again brain dead.

4:56 pm

Cathyar

evening all....well...evening here.

4:56 pm

Cathyar

clue for the ap7 if I may please? :-)

4:56 pm

Soodle

Sheesh, JMC. I beg you to reconsider.... (visualising mega book sales with 'JMC - The Untold Chapters...'

4:57 pm

MollyL

ap + not cold + first part of frozen water

4:58 pm

Cathyar

ty very much molly! :-) appreciate it!

5:00 pm

Cathyar

still 43 to go here... hope you all are well tonight. i'm not feeling very focused. lol

5:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:44 pm

MollyL

No Kap, not that. It didn't work out so well for that guy in "The Cider House Rules".

7:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ah, well- win some, lose some.

7:45 pm

uusue2

hmmpf. There are a couple of people in (or near) my house that could use a little neurosis removal.

7:45 pm

MollyL

I'm being selfish, I know. But I like having you around.

7:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I replace the neurosis with full blown psychosis.

7:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not really.

7:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

job security.

7:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It was a joke.

7:46 pm

MollyL

Oh my God Kap, you are channeling Alan Sherman.

7:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But you knew that already.

7:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Which Allen Sherman am I channeling?

7:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh- the rhyming? I do it by osmosis.

7:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Life a bed of is not a bed of roses.

7:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I wonder where my nose is?

7:48 pm

MollyL

None, you are writing a new one for him. And you cure halitosis.

7:48 pm

LeslieAnn

first va5?

7:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

SNAP! I was just going to use halitosis!

7:48 pm

uusue2

7:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Mate grinds think alike!

7:49 pm

MollyL

The rest is verbosis.

7:49 pm

LeslieAnn

7:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

co5pls?

7:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Moses supposes his toses are roses but Moses supposes erroneously...

7:49 pm

MollyL

I'm serious, there is a Sherman memorial song in all this.

7:49 pm

uusue2

co + Ave Ma***

7:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

for Moses he knowses his toeses aren't roses as Moses supposes his toeses to be!

7:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty

7:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That's from Singin' in the Rain.

7:50 pm

MollyL

And there is cirrhosis in the song too, we need someone with an alcohol problem.

7:50 pm

uusue2

I remember reading that to my son - life was much simpler when he was little :-(

7:50 pm

7:50 pm

herinfernallady

HI

7:51 pm

uusue2

hi, herin!

7:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Herin, you are entering a thicket of osis.

7:51 pm

MollyL

Sue, there is a story in me about the days when my kids were little, about how life was simpler then. "Back In The Days Of Sesame Street".

7:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Put down the duckie.

7:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If you wanna play the saxophone.

7:53 pm

herinfernallady

Howdy. My Cat's are helping

7:53 pm

MollyL

But it would probably be a bad rip off of Kenny Loggins and "Back In The Days Of Pooh".

7:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Herin doesn't know Put Down the Duckie?

7:53 pm

LeslieAnn

pa 5/18?

crosshair

8:50 pm

lbdawger

8:50 pm

crosshair

8:53 pm

8:53 pm

uusue2

8:53 pm

LuwandaHL

8:53 pm

lbdawger

hi lu, and everyone!

8:53 pm

mrpresident

hi lu :)

8:54 pm

uusue2

but as I understand it you didn't have a hysterectomy, mrp, right?

8:54 pm

LuwandaHL

I have mine several years ago at 39. Mine was abdominal surgery. Make sure you take is easy

8:54 pm

crosshair

it is partially my fault mrp,she delayed her operation whole i was going through chemo..so it was 2 months before she could get in;9

8:56 pm

mrpresident

no sue I had a type of hysterectomy, a hysteroscopy... took out the cot (lining of uterus) but left the playpen. still have falopians and ovaries, looped my cervix so that is kind of gone.... it will take a while for the uterus to go back down to size

8:56 pm

mrpresident

crossy, don't blame yourself!!

8:57 pm

crosshair

lol@ playpen!! they took everything out of my mrs

8:58 pm

mrpresident

did she go through early menopause?? was she younger than the usual menopause time?

8:59 pm

uusue2

but probably a quicker recovery than a complete hysterectomy (which took me a good 6 weeks to recover from as I recall...)

8:59 pm

crosshair

she had a massive infection of her reproductive system and everything was sticking together..was not good

9:00 pm

crosshair

she was 35 at the time

9:00 pm

mrpresident

oh poor girl!!

9:00 pm

LuwandaHL

I went back to work 4 wks after mine. The good part was I was not allowed to run the vacuum for a month.

9:00 pm

uusue2

oh, that's tough, crossy, I was 51 when I had mine

9:00 pm

crosshair

it ws interfering with peeing..pooping..digesting...etc

9:00 pm

mrpresident

i am expecting a couple of weeks at the most, but will not be out of bed for 5 days

9:00 pm

LuwandaHL

You are all in my thoughts an prayers

9:01 pm

uusue2

well, as I say, mrp, take care of yourself and don't try to rush things! your body needs time to heal.

9:01 pm

mrpresident

i guess everyone has different recovery rates and am glad you all recovered well in the end

9:02 pm

crosshair

she was strong for me during my chemo and i nursed her through her hysterectomy..she was my rock and i was her staff

9:02 pm

mrpresident

thanks so much lu, and to all my buddies on babble... your thoughts have helped me a lot

9:02 pm

crosshair

and i am sure you will recover post hate

9:02 pm

9:14 pm

lbdawger

later, MRP

9:15 pm

Pinikula

so, other than that, how's everyone doing?

9:15 pm

uusue2

ok for the moment; local drama seems to be over for the moment and I have a 3-day weekend coming up :-)

9:16 pm

Pinikula

glad to hear things are subsiding; bet you can't wait for a long weekend...

9:17 pm

uusue2

indeed. Actually the university is now on its summer schedule, which is M-Th only so all my summer weekends are long

9:18 pm

Pinikula

We're just finishing Finals Week; the uni graduation activities all occur on Monday...once next week is over, I'll be working 4/3, too! :)

9:18 pm

uusue2

nice :-)

9:18 pm

Pinikula

my dept graduated last saturday *sigh of relief *

9:19 pm

Pinikula

spent the latter half of my morning with my g'dau and her classmates...

9:20 pm

uusue2

sounds like fun.

9:20 pm

Pinikula

...I was their art project guest (last Thurs, too)...

9:20 pm

Pinikula

...what a group!

9:22 pm

Pinikula

They've been studying The Oregon Trail...so last week I showed them how to make covered wagons; this week's lesson was how to make yarn dolls to go in the wagons (using materials kids would have used 'back the')

9:22 pm

uusue2

what ages?

9:22 pm

Pinikula

* then

9:22 pm

Pinikula

9-10

9:24 pm

uusue2

they must have had a blast!

9:24 pm

lbdawger

sounds like a lot of fun, Pini

9:24 pm

Pinikula

It was quite entertaining...and, thankfully, we got them all done: 12 wagons and 24 'dolls' (both boy and girl dolls - some with scrap fabric clothes, too!)

9:25 pm

Pinikula

It was interesting to handle their attention spans and ability to cooperate (or not) with each other...

9:26 pm

Pinikula

...2 girls were worked really well together; 4 girls just kept trying to do them individually (even though they'd all been paired up to help each other 'hold' and 'tie'); the boys just needed handholding...oy

9:28 pm

Pinikula

I do have to admit that I found out today that they enjoyed making the wagons so much that during some of their other classroom downtime, they created the landscape to display the wagon train!

9:31 pm

lbdawger

that's such an interesting age. they really want to please, and the drama is minimal (for the most part). lol at the boys needing their hands held.

9:32 pm

Pinikula

Very true, lbd...and well worth the two sessions I spent with them. I hope my g'dau teacher next year will invite me to come do another craft with them...

9:34 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

9:38 pm

lbdawger

hi min

9:39 pm

Minveryork

Was nervous I was not going to finish. I was without power for 4+ hours. Fortunately, I found most of the words at work so I just retyped them into Babble now

9:39 pm

Pinikula

I definitely will, lbd...the next teacher...my g'dau will be going into 5th grade

9:39 pm

Minveryork

Hi lbdawger! How are you? Congrats on finishing early
