1:41 am

cwestexan

sprite

look, I am keeping my finger in the dike the whole time and still everything is wet.

1:44 am

rururocks

did you do that on porpoise jilli?

1:44 am

vanillaslice

where did the queen go on her birthday walk this year sprite?

1:44 am

sprite

I don't know, didn't run into her this year

1:45 am

vanillaslice

I stood in the rain in Deventer in 2003 and never got to see her but had a great time

1:45 am

rururocks

what do queens really do ?

1:45 am

sprite

turtle nag, nag, nag, ruru

1:45 am

sprite

be queenly?

1:46 am

vanillaslice

wait till ou stand out there to see her go past...you'll know!

1:46 am

rururocks

I really don't get the royalty thing.. what a waste of money

1:47 am

sprite

hah... roses are red, ....... are blue, some poems rhyme, others don't.

1:47 am

vanillaslice

tradition, emotion, the fav princes and prinecesses

1:47 am

sprite

I am not cut out for it either. But wait until our royal house is attacked from abroad. THEN I will feel it is MY queen you are talking about.

1:48 am

vanillaslice

in Holland they walk among the people

1:48 am

rururocks

yeah.. well.. have you seen those hats on the royals at the wedding??.. who dressed them in tradition

1:49 am

vanillaslice

part of the anomalies

1:49 am

vanillaslice

and the hats sell well

1:49 am

rururocks

do they clog up the traffic nilla?

1:50 am

vanillaslice

nobody worries when they have a good time

1:50 am

sprite

yes, they do. Our royal house is loved, and Holland is easygoing in that respect. We even had, with queen Juliana, a good-bye show for her to thank her, and the host kissed her on the cheek to congratulate her. Way outside protocol, much appreciated by queen and public.

1:50 am

vanillaslice

takes the mind off reality for a day

1:50 am

jillibus

I enjoy the monarchy thing, always have.

1:50 am

sprite

lol no, those ha4 are just awful. Especially the ones our queen wears.

1:51 am

vanillaslice

we had a pm here who dared to put his arm around Bessie

1:51 am

sprite

hehehe good for him

1:51 am

Haz1558

You asked about the role of royalty (presumably meaning British) and then immediately launch into an attach on fashion. Typical American ignorance - you can't take the time to understand or read up on the history and significance of the role of monarchy over here so you attack it. As it happens, the Queen is regarded by all sides as being a very astute political analyst and adviser, a role she has occupied for nearly 60 years.

1:52 am

vanillaslice

see how it stirs emotions!!!!

1:52 am

sprite

hello Haz. I was talking about the dutch queen, actually. Who takes a personal interest in politics and social matters.

1:53 am

Haz1558

I know, sprite, but ruru was attaching OUR Queen and I'm furious.

1:53 am

vanillaslice

not many queens anymore but they're worth their weight in gold

1:53 am

sprite

ruru just enjoys drawing out discussions, I think

1:54 am

rururocks

no.. I think she means me sprite.. I just don't understand the royal thing.. supporting the whole royal family and not understanding what they really do. I feel the same way about much of our Senate and congresspeople

1:54 am

vanillaslice

Austraia would long ao have become a republic if it wasnt for the queen

1:54 am

jillibus

Canada too, methinks.

1:54 am

sprite

vanilla, the question is often raised here whether the queen/royal house is worth the money it costs. But then they compare to what presidents cost... not that much of a difference.

1:55 am

vanillaslice

sotrue and I'd hate to elect a president

1:55 am

sprite

maybe you should ask to be allowed to tag along with them for a week or month, ruru. To see what they do, I mean.

1:55 am

rururocks

I guess I could understand the queen ..but doesn't england pay for Charles and all the other royals at great expense too?

1:56 am

jillibus

I've lived through two Kings and now the Queen. Hard to explain the feeling of continuity and anchorage.

1:56 am

Haz1558

Then find out about it, ruru, find out instead of trotting out cliches.

1:56 am

Haz1558

No, Charles isn't supported by the Queen, he derives his income from the Duchy of Cornwall.

1:57 am

Haz1558

And it's not just England, there's a United Kingdon.

1:57 am

sprite

well, one thing I do like about the queen: she gives a great continuality (??) to our country's public face, without the backdraw of dictatorship, or even just-too-long political leadership.

1:57 am

vanillaslice

continualitation

1:57 am

Haz1558

Read some history, read how the monarchy has changed its role so that it now works alongside as a servant of parliament rather than its master. Find out!

1:57 am

jillibus

and the Commonwealth

1:58 am

sprite

I don't know about other countries, but here the queen works more than full time, and the heir to the throne actually works for a living.

And if you want to talk about waste of money, let's count up how much money is spent on electing a new president in the US every four years.

1:58 am

sprite

thanks vanilla, I knew that word of mine was wrong.

1:59 am

vanillaslice

I dread the day Aus becomes republic

1:59 am

vanillaslice

lol

1:59 am

jillibus

vanilla's is silly, lol!

1:59 am

rururocks

I agree with that .. ridiculous amounts of money even for Congressional seats.

2:00 am

sprite

Haz, I often wonder, not about the money, but about the focus of the politicians in question. It seems to me those elections take away so much time and energy and attention from governing the country.

2:00 am

Haz1558

And when you start to make noises about Britain being impoverished by trying to keep up a royal family, consider that Britiain gives MORE foreign aid than any other country.

2:00 am

sprite

*grin* silly but soooo much better!

2:00 am

sprite

you sure, Haz? Even more than the netherlands?

2:00 am

Haz1558

Every four years the politicians say what they think the people want to hear.

2:02 am

vanillaslice

This is all great stuff...my country

2:02 am

vanillaslice

This is all great stuff...my country

2:02 am

vanillaslice

This is all great stuff...my country

2:02 am

vanillaslice

This is all great stuff...my country

2:02 am

rururocks

don't go overboard here haz.. I just didn't understand her role and what she really does.

2:02 am

Haz1558

According to headlines in the papers, sprite, I can't give figures.

2:02 am

vanillaslice

this is all great stuff...MY COUNTRY!!!!

2:03 am

sprite

me neither, Haz, was just wondering. In my memory something says: we do. But that might just be a chauvinistic thing.

2:03 am

Haz1558

Fine, you don't understand but you still criticise. My argument is that if you took the time to understand and find out her role, then you might change your mind. It's like me criticising a wine without ever having tasted it.

2:03 am

vanillaslice

In the meantime i made fireworks!!!

2:03 am

sprite

vanilla, honey, we get the point, LOLLLL

2:03 am

sprite

and WTG on the fireworks!

2:03 am

jillibus

whoopee, vanilla!

2:04 am

vanillaslice

ty all and Lickety, must bid you well

2:04 am

sprite

ok, at an aside: if cluque isn't a word, what does a chicken say?

2:04 am

jillibus

cluck

2:05 am

vanillaslice

suspense...

2:05 am

sprite

hah. That is just your average chicken. Any chicken of status would say cluque.

2:05 am

jillibus

toodles, vanilla

2:05 am

sprite

bye vanilla, have a good day/night

2:05 am

vanillaslice

poof

2:05 am

jillibus

you're so right, sprite

2:06 am

sprite

omg they start drilling again. For God's sake hurry up and let's get it over with at last!

2:07 am

sprite

and I missed an opportunity there, jilli... I should have said: any royal chicken ;)

2:09 am

jillibus

of course

2:12 am

flosey

17 words to go and I'm off to bed, goodnight all

2:12 am

sprite

well done, flosey. Sleep well.

2:13 am

sprite

so far, I am finding this grid rather tight.

2:13 am

flosey

ty sprite

2:13 am

flosey

it seems to ease up a bit once you get into it

2:14 am

sprite

49 left and slowing down hard

2:16 am

jillibus

wd flosey -- I've been distracted by Jon Stewart on TV

2:21 am

jillibus

I have 28 to go at this point

2:21 am

sprite

wow good, jilli. 43 here still... not much speed left, lol

2:24 am

jillibus

but I've run out of steam -- now 26 left for tomorrow and I'm packing it in -- good day/night all...*poof

2:24 am

sprite

night jilli, sleep well

2:25 am

Haz1558

Bye, jillibus.

2:26 am

sprite

Haz, when a baby chicken is forced out of its egg, wouldn't you say it was ovicted?

2:27 am

Haz1558

You'd think.

2:27 am

sprite

the poor thing could even be called an ovictee

2:28 am

Haz1558

From a lower class egg it'd be something of a yoquel.

2:29 am

sprite

too true. A little bit white around the eyes.

2:36 am

lizmac

An egg that you'd ovoid .

2:36 am

sprite

lol liz!

2:36 am

Haz1558

Hello, liz.

2:37 am

lizmac

Hello Haz, and Sprite. N.I. and Netherlands cold and wet?

2:38 am

Haz1558

It's certainly not warm.

2:38 am

sprite

not really cold here, but unpleasant. And very wet.

2:38 am

lizmac

No wonder we're obsessed with the weather.

2:39 am

Haz1558

I thought that after the winter we'd deserve a proper summer.

2:39 am

Haz1558

We may deserve it but it seems we're not getting it.

2:39 am

sprite

we might get it yet, Haz. A late Summer.

2:39 am

Haz1558

Hope springs eternal, I suppose.

2:40 am

sprite

autumn of rule... or vice versa

2:41 am

lizmac

Indeed, Haz. How often have we looked for an "Indian summer" only to realise that it's Christmas in 3 weeks time!!

2:41 am

sprite

hm, an Indian Christmas. Could be interesting.

2:42 am

Haz1558

I know. Once the first snow flakes fall you kind of know that the summer dream is over for another year.

2:42 am

sprite

one swallow doesn't make Summer, one flake doesn't make summer a fluke

2:44 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

2:45 am

sprite

morning rubyfoo

2:46 am

lizmac

Right, moan over. Now I'll boast a bit while I've got a captive audience. I'm off to St.Andrews tomorrow as my son is being presented with the Principal's Medal for outstanding contribution to the Uni. Black tie dinner, ceremony and garden(brolly) party. Apparently it's not a long service medal, or so he says indignantly.

2:46 am

Haz1558

Well done! (And is there any money attached?)

2:46 am

sprite

wow liz, congratulations, you must be so proud of him

2:46 am

rubyfoo

way to go, proud mom!

2:47 am

lizmac

There is indeed. Â£1000.

2:47 am

Haz1558

Good man. That'll clear his bar bill.

2:48 am

Haz1558

And what now for him, liz? More studies or is he looking for work?

2:49 am

lizmac

Tight wee b****r wil HAVE to buy us lunch now. Don't know about the bar bill though, he's been studenting for 10 years now. You can shift a fair amount of beer in that time!

2:49 am

Haz1558

10 years. His brain must be enormous.

2:49 am

sprite

ok you had me looking for that b....r word.

2:53 am

lizmac

He IS working, Haz, or so he says. Seriously, he's applying for research fellowships, which sound a lot like more studenting to me. He's doing some lecturing at St. Andrews to pay the bills just now, so it looks like he might be able to stay a student for ever.

2:54 am

lizmac

One fingered typing works up an appetite, breakfast time. BBL.

2:54 am

Haz1558

He obviously just loves learning, bless him. At least he's starting to bring in some money.

2:54 am

Haz1558

Enjoy breakfast!

2:54 am

sprite

fireflies. Bye all, have a good day/night.

2:54 am

Haz1558

Bye, sprite.

6:00 am

suefrad625

anyone have a suggestion for an e-reader that can web surf, that is not very expensive?

6:06 am

dan2bit

mrs2bit likes her kindle, but it is not color

6:07 am

MollyL

<--- Doesn't understand why a device meant to read black and white print needs to be color

6:08 am

dan2bit

true, but if you want something to surf the web, color is better than not

6:09 am

MollyL

That's true 2Bit, I tend to think one-dimensionally.

6:10 am

suefrad625

I also want something I can bluetooth or usb a keybd to.

6:10 am

suefrad625

my fingers seem to be too big for on screen, plus the fingerprints, yuck

6:11 am

dan2bit

suefrad I think you are in ipad world if you want all that

6:12 am

suefrad625

lol

6:12 am

dan2bit

i don't think the nook does external kb, but I am not positive

6:12 am

suefrad625

dont like ipad, dont like I anything really. respect the company, dont like proprietary

6:12 am

suefrad625

I dont think so either dan

6:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't have i-pad, book, phone etc- or kindle. Which probably means that in the enxt decade I will be stuck with all of them- because I said the same about cellphones ...

6:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

Phantom Catholics!

6:17 am

MollyL

<---Stuck in the past with Kap. I do have an Ipod though, but rarely use it.

6:19 am

Kaplan the Magne

"The past" means two years ago...

6:19 am

MollyL

I'd also consider it torture to have to use a Mac. Can't stand that operating system.

6:19 am

suefrad625

I wish I could find a blown up version of my phone

6:19 am

suefrad625

that is all I would need

6:21 am

MollyL

I think you could get something like that, they are expensive though. Go to your local wireless store and tell them what you're looking for.

6:21 am

ivesy3

i like my sony reader

Been there, home since the 6th

6:56 am

rubyfoo

sorry, didn't mean to shout

6:56 am

bichon

ruby, in France it's light until 11? Aren't you at the same latitude as us?

6:56 am

rubyfoo

there was an article on St. P in the NYT travel section the other day

6:57 am

bichon

Love that city. Wish we had lots more time there

6:57 am

rubyfoo

no, we're farther north I guess. I was surprised at how long the days are

6:57 am

rubyfoo

of course, the obverse is that the days are VERY short in Dec

6:58 am

bichon

Ok that makes sense, we're even with Madrid and Rome

6:58 am

rubyfoo

ahah

morning, all

7:03 am

rubyfoo

hi and bye sue

7:03 am

uusue2

my son has really done it now :-(

7:03 am

car.eeyore

Hi uusue!

7:03 am

rubyfoo

what has he lost now?

7:03 am

bichon

what sue?

7:03 am

car.eeyore

Oh no....

7:03 am

car.eeyore

Bye Ruby!

7:04 am

uusue2

his mind, I think

7:04 am

rubyfoo

what did he do?

7:04 am

bichon

you know that boys don't mature til their late twenties

7:04 am

uusue2

crazy GF called him last night, told him someone was following her and she was scared

7:04 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was their late 40's

7:04 am

car.eeyore

and...

7:05 am

uusue2

so he drove her home, she turned on him, broke his glasses (the new ones), started strangling him, he yelled for the police

7:05 am

bichon

yes, ruby, mine's 38 and he still....

7:05 am

uusue2

who came and arrested them both. he's charged with domestic battery

7:05 am

car.eeyore

Good god!

7:05 am

bichon

oy sue

7:05 am

rubyfoo

that is horrible! is she using drugs?

7:05 am

uusue2

alcohol

7:05 am

uusue2

she told the police that he had done to her everything she'd done to him

7:06 am

bichon

what are you gong to do, hire a lawyer?

7:06 am

car.eeyore

Maybe now he will realize and take the appropriate steps....

7:06 am

uusue2

among other things, bichon

7:06 am

uusue2

he'll be in court at 9 this morning

7:06 am

uusue2

I

7:06 am

rubyfoo

7:07 am

bichon

did he have to spend the night in jail :-(

7:07 am

car.eeyore

Sue, I am so sorry. Sending you lots of {{hugs}} and good energy, but also prayers for all of you.

7:07 am

uusue2

I'll have to post bail for him

7:07 am

uusue2

he's still there

7:07 am

car.eeyore

You should have your son go to an Al-Anon meeting today.

7:07 am

rubyfoo

and the girl got sent home?

7:07 am

bichon

Have you spoken with him yet?

7:08 am

uusue2

*sigh* I am still in shock, haven't seen him yet

7:08 am

uusue2

no, they arrested her too, they've charged them both

7:08 am

car.eeyore

Well that is good. They must have been able to tell she was drunk off her rocker.

7:08 am

rubyfoo

do you know her parents?

7:08 am

uusue2

not really, ruby

7:09 am

uusue2

he called me at 5:30 this morning from the police station,

7:09 am

rubyfoo

that sounds like a real nightmare!

7:09 am

bichon

did they give her a beathalyzer test

7:09 am

uusue2

i guess I'm his one phone call

7:09 am

car.eeyore

Not to mention...if your son is the one with all the scratches, broken glasses, etc. The police SHOULD be able to figure this out.

7:09 am

uusue2

dunno, bichon, although she did throw up all over him, apparently

7:09 am

MollyL

(((Sue))) I truly hope this madness ends soon. Your nerves must be shot.

7:09 am

uusue2

and I suspect he was drinking as well

7:10 am

uusue2

yeah, the police don't see it as their job to figure it out, that's what the courts are for

7:10 am

bichon

were they driving?

7:10 am

uusue2

he was but not at the time

7:11 am

uusue2

oh, and she ripped up the inside of my car, too

7:11 am

car.eeyore

Are you kidding me?!?! Of course it is THEIR job!

7:11 am

rubyfoo

at least your son is safe

7:11 am

uusue2

cup holders were all over her lawn

7:11 am

uusue2

yeah, ruby, i'm toying with the idea of leaving him there

7:11 am

car.eeyore

Do you have pictures and did you file a report?

7:11 am

bichon

tough love is good

7:11 am

uusue2

except I'm afraid he'd get beat up in jail

7:12 am

rubyfoo

it might be the lesson he needs.....

7:12 am

uusue2

I have pictures but no report on the car yet

7:12 am

rubyfoo

is it a bad jail?

7:12 am

car.eeyore

Is her family going to be able to get her out?

7:12 am

uusue2

I have no idea, ruby, this is not the sort of thing I have researched :-(

7:12 am

bichon

is there such a thing as a good jail?

7:12 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

7:12 am

car.eeyore

Hi Lynxxx

7:13 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxxx!!!!

7:13 am

bichon

hi lynxxx

7:13 am

uusue2

and I don't know, car, her father actually had her arrested and charged with battery a couple of years ago althought the charges were dropped

7:13 am

rubyfoo

I would think some small town jails might be OK for giving such a boy a good chance to think things over

7:13 am

uusue2

anyway, hi, lynxxx, welcome to my useless drama

7:13 am

lynxxx

It's all grim Sue. Hope your son comes out of it with stronger resolve to terminate the relationship finally

7:13 am

uusue2

it's the county jail, ruby, small county but who knows?

7:14 am

car.eeyore

Her ass needs to stay right where it is. She is a danger to your son, your family and herself. Unless they put her in rehab...which actually may be the best place for her.

7:14 am

bichon

how old is she?

7:14 am

uusue2

yeah, he's determined right now but he was determined after she smashed his door too

7:14 am

rubyfoo

I think I would visit him there before bailing him out.....

7:14 am

uusue2

she's 19, he's 21

7:15 am

rubyfoo

if it's not full of murderers, I'd let him stew a bit

7:15 am

uusue2

she certainly needs a lot of help. I think he does too; he's been in this abusive relationship for over 4 years now and doesn't seem to know how to get out of it

7:16 am

uusue2

well, there are a couple, ruby, I don't know how much access they have to each other

7:16 am

rubyfoo

maybe your lawyer will know if he's safe

7:16 am

car.eeyore

Will your son go to counseling Sue?

7:17 am

uusue2

anyway I am going to bury myself in the grid and pretend I have someone else's life

7:17 am

bichon

what does your son do? Is he in school, work?

7:17 am

uusue2

I hpoe so, car

7:17 am

ivesy3

sometimes they dont have a choice. they are forced to go to counseling thru the courts

7:17 am

uusue2

and he's a student, bichon, at the university where I teach

7:17 am

lynxxx

((Sue))

7:18 am

car.eeyore

Well, that would be the bargaining chip. You will get him out only if he goes to counseling.

7:18 am

bichon

has he gone to counseling?

7:18 am

uusue2

I was thinking of taking him to the domestic violence shelter anyway for counseling, sigh

7:18 am

ivesy3

and she may not have a choic either sue, rehab or jail.

7:18 am

uusue2

he hasn't, bichon

7:18 am

car.eeyore

HI ivesy.

7:18 am

car.eeyore

And Bichon...good mornign to you.

7:18 am

uusue2

and I hope she gets help, ivesy, but right now I don't really care what happens to her (mean of me but there it is)

7:18 am

ivesy3

morning car

7:19 am

bichon

maybe you and him going together. At least, at first

7:19 am

uusue2

anyway, hi everybody, I am going to go away for a while...

7:19 am

1:05 pm

1:07 pm

periwinkle

ok

1:08 pm

wvteach

i do not think it is common at all - even after looking up the definition, i don't think i would ever have a use for it - a convex molding forming or approximating in section a quarter of a circle or ellipse.

1:08 pm

periwinkle

I agree wv

1:08 pm

Anniebrook

I just found it and I do not think it is a common word...pretty tho

uusue2

hi bichon, somewhat. at least we have a plan.

4:41 pm

bichon

plans are a good thing

4:42 pm

uusue2

indeed. I took him to the doctor and he is ok (lots of bruises and scrapes but nothing broken) and we have an appointment with a lawyer on Thursday.

4:43 pm

Soodle

Oh my. I hav'nt been on babble for almost a week. Sounds like you have trouble, Sue???

4:43 pm

sadie52

ouch! gotta be hurtin

4:43 pm

sadie52

hi bichon and Soodlebum

4:44 pm

bichon

well glad things seem to be moving this afternoon

4:44 pm

bichon

hi sadie and soodle

4:44 pm

Soodle

Hi Sadie:-), and everybody else...

4:46 pm

uusue2

hi, soodle, my son's gf attacked him last night - actually tried to strangle him (to the point where he was losing consciousness); he screamed for the police; when they came she told them he'd dragged her out of the car by her hair (since there were no marks on her and he is pretty beaten up) and they arrested him. he's been charged with domestic battery.

4:47 pm

uusue2

but he is doing ok, at least physically; I bailed him out of jail this morning. Looking for counseling for him, and for someone who recognizes that men can be domestic violence victims. Sigh.

4:47 pm

Soodle

Holy Moses!!!! Sue, I am very sorry to hear that. How worrisome for you.

4:49 pm

uusue2

we are coping but it is, to say the least, stressful.

4:49 pm

uusue2

and he is a genuinely nice kid, never laid a hand on her. she also trashed the inside of my car while this was going on.

4:50 pm

Soodle

(((((Hugs)))) to Sue. I can imagine its a very difficult situation for you all. My thoughts are with you.

4:51 pm

sadie52

oh my goodness Sue I hope everything works out for him !

4:51 pm

uusue2

thx, soodle :-) it is tough

4:51 pm

bichon

Have you spoken with her parents?

4:51 pm

uusue2

I talked to her mother at the jail (she was charged with alcohol violations as a minor) but with the charges against my son we should keep away from her too now

4:52 pm

Soodle

She seems to be a gril with big problems.

4:52 pm

bichon

the only thing they charged her with was alcohol? Strange

4:53 pm

bichon

Hope this all works out well for you and yor son sue

4:53 pm

hurshy

gosh that's awful. i hope she will be persuaded to be honest and your son is quickly cleared of all blame.

4:53 pm

uusue2

she is, soodle, and she needs help. and my son keeps wanting to rescue her. but he really can't help her.

4:53 pm

hurshy

you definitely can't rescue someone who strangles you.

4:53 pm

Soodle

Ditto what Hurshy said.

4:54 pm

uusue2

well, there's yelling and screaming, the cops come, she says she's been abused, that's all they need to hear. most domestic violence is indeed men abusing women; he just happens to be the unfortunate exception.

4:54 pm

stidmama

*sneaks in and hugs soodles and hurshy*

(In the middle of an online -expensive- seminar... back soon)

*POOF*

4:54 pm

uusue2

and the way the statutes are written here, he's guilty even if he didn't lay a hand on her, if he provoked her into attacking him.

4:55 pm

Soodle

One of the soap operas here had a story-line on domestic abuse against men. It was fictional, but quite an eye-opener.

4:56 pm

uusue2

apparently it is more common than one might think, soodle. (although I am thinking about it a lot more now than I ever expected I would!)

4:56 pm

sadie52

people dont realize it is a two way street not always men against women

4:57 pm

Soodle

I have to go now - but, once again, Sue, my thoughts and prayers are with you. And Hugs right back atcha Stiddy!!

4:59 pm

uusue2

thx!!! it is appreciated more than you can know

5:04 pm

crosshair

reading back(((sue))) my father also had a history of "poison women" after mum passed and tell your son i hope he gets things all settled asap

5:04 pm

uusue2

thx, crossy! it will be a process but we will get through it.

5:11 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all! uusue2, you have my heartfelt sympathy. My son married a woman like that. Accused him of rape, ruined his Coast Guard career. Put him in bankruptcy. But he finally stopped going back to her, got a divorce and is now excelling in his life...there will be a light at the end of this. (((hugs))

5:12 pm

Jillyjill

So, I know what you are going thru!

5:16 pm

5:18 pm

mcurlschool

hear it's a little wet back home though

5:19 pm

stidmama

hey mcurl! VERY sunny and warm here, a lovely solstice day!

5:19 pm

Jillyjill

Finally some nice warm weather here :-)

5:19 pm

stidmama

glad to hear you made it there safely, mcurl.

5:20 pm

uusue2

ooh!!! y'all made me look out the window, and there's a rainbow!!!!!!!!!!!

5:20 pm

mcurlschool

well, as we all know "my" back home can be so total different from everyone else's back home where Washington it concerned!

5:20 pm

crosshair

yaaa! rainbow for sue:))

5:21 pm

Jillyjill

Major like uusue

5:21 pm

stidmama

sue, important to get good information. if you haven't been there yet, http://www.ilcadv.org/

5:21 pm

stidmama

I don't see any significant clouds out "your" way mcurl, but it did take a while for the liquid sun to burn off this morning! LOL

5:22 pm

mcurlschool

My "source" was a call from the morning so glad to hear it cleared up. A little windy here in WY right now.

5:23 pm

stidmama

brb phone

5:25 pm

uusue2

ooh, thx, stid! That is very helpful.

5:26 pm

crosshair

at least there is relief that they have no kids together that she can use as weapons or pawns..or i hope not

5:29 pm

Jillyjill

My son had a step-son; I loved him so and just cringe at the life he has with that horrible woman as a mother...he was such a sweet little boy :(

5:29 pm

stidmama

back. apparently clouds have started to cover the south-east part of my peninsula, so perhaps it is going to be gray again quickly. *sigh*

5:29 pm

stidmama

happy solstice, cross! ((hugs))

5:29 pm

Jillyjill

*sending sunshine back east to stid*

5:30 pm

crosshair

yaaaa the solstice!

5:30 pm

uusue2

no, no kids, crossy, thank goodness!!!

5:30 pm

crosshair

(((stidmama))

5:31 pm

crosshair

then he can do a nice clean break while she is learning the fine art of folding prison laundry

5:31 pm

stidmama

thanks jilly!

5:32 pm

stidmama

I just wish that people who have "issues" would feel less stigmatized -- and so seek help sooner. Of course, sometimes a symptom of the issue is that they can't see a need to change...

5:33 pm

MollyL

(((Sue))) at least he's learning this lesson young, instead of after 10 years of marriage and two kids.

5:33 pm

stidmama

*tosses choclits at Molly*

5:33 pm

crosshair

indeed molly

5:34 pm

MollyL

*Happily eats choclits* Jilly, sorry to hear about your son, glad to hear he's turned it around.

5:34 pm

MollyL

Great picture of your guys, Stid.

5:35 pm

stidmama

Thanks Molly! My four guys... riemann is, of course, part of the family! LOL

5:35 pm

Jillyjill

THanks molly!! He's in college now in Virginia and it's all behind him...and us. but I sure remember what it was like; can't erase that memory

5:36 pm

MollyL

I firmly believe that the "constant rescuer" is in need of as much help as the "constant victim".

5:36 pm

uusue2

indeed, molly!

5:37 pm

stidmama

*sits on hands and refuses to rescue the stidkids who have not been keeping up with schoolwork this last semester...*

5:37 pm

Jillyjill

That AND I now have a real understanding of why and how people keep going back again and again...

5:37 pm

uusue2

and I should have stuck to my guns; been reading the info in the link stid sent and now that he's been charged it's not clear that he can get an order of protection against her

5:37 pm

stidmama

I believe that he can... and he should try. YOU should also do this, given that she has already damaged your home.

5:37 pm

MollyL

Oh crap, I missed some of this. What has he been charged with?

5:37 pm

uusue2

he's already contacted the local shelter and they've refused to help him

5:38 pm

stidmama

She is in need of help, and won't get it unless forced to -- which a court can order.

5:38 pm

stidmama

sue, shelters for men are rare, but perhaps he has a friend in a nearby town that she doesn't know?

5:38 pm

uusue2

domestic battery, molly, after his gf beat and tried to strangle him (he has rather impressive bruises all over his face and neck)

5:39 pm

MollyL

In our state, anyone who has been charged with abuse is automatically put on a restraining order against the suspected abused person. If they have both been charged with that, there should be restraining orders on both of them.

5:40 pm

uusue2

he was the only one charged (he was also the only one with injuries, go figure)

5:40 pm

MollyL

Sue, do you know if his bruises were photographed by the police? That will come in handy later.

5:40 pm

uusue2

and there is a 72-hour order against him

5:41 pm

uusue2

and yes, they photographed him, as did we, and I took him to the doctor (no photos there but there will be a record of his injuries)

5:41 pm

MollyL

That is good Sue. I can't believe the ignorant cops only charged him.

5:41 pm

uusue2

she has already tried to contact him on facebook and text message

5:42 pm

uusue2

I can't either, molly, especially as she had no injuries. they told him he should have run away (and left her to complete her trashing of our car, I suppose)

5:42 pm

MollyL

A good attorney will sort all this out, try not to worry. I trust he has her blocked on Facebook and his phone.

5:43 pm

uusue2

i hope so, molly!!!!

5:43 pm

uusue2

anyway frank is here to take me home - see you all later!!!! sorry for all the drama :-(

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

Molly, the abused person syndrome is so very hard...mine just would not block his ex

5:43 pm

MollyL

If this is his first offense, and you can prove that she was equally violent, he can probably plead down to disorderly conduct.

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

Bye Sue...((hugs))

5:45 pm

MollyL

Oh Jilly, I know of this, unfortunately. I have a good friend who went through something very similar to your son. At the time, I wanted to shake some good sense into him.

5:49 pm

Jillyjill

he was stationed in Seattle and I flew out to get him thru the time she had accused him of rape. I remember standing on the balcony of my brother-in-laws condo praying angels to uphold him as he walked back to CG boat as I was so afraid he'd try suicide...bad memories...

5:50 pm

MollyL

Angels have special ears for Mothers Jilly. I'm sure they heard you.

5:51 pm

Jillyjill

I know they did!!

5:57 pm

Jillyjill

Well, halfway done, gonna quit for now...bbl

5:57 pm

stidmama

***hugs all*** gotta go, see you-all tomorrow! *poof*

je!

6:32 pm

MollyL

Popping in and out. Hello all.

6:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello molly

6:36 pm

uusue2

hi, molly and TO! popping in and out myself...

6:39 pm

MollyL

I'm catching up on last week's Memphis Beat. I love that show.

6:39 pm

uusue2

don't know it, molly - music, I presume?

6:40 pm

MollyL

No, well kind of. Cop drama on TNT. The lead character is a cop by day, blues singer by night.

6:40 pm

uusue2

oh, sounds interesting!

6:40 pm

uusue2

(I like cop dramas)

6:41 pm

MollyL

TNT runs full episodes on their web site if you ever want to check it out. I never seem to catch anything live.

6:41 pm

TeaNCrackers

hi all

6:42 pm

MollyL

Hi Tea

6:42 pm

uusue2

I will, molly! I only get really basic cable (stuff you could get if you had an antenna) so no extra channels

6:42 pm

uusue2

and hi, tea!

6:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi uu hi tea

6:45 pm

car.eeyore

uusue! I was hoping you would be here. How did it go today?

6:47 pm

car.eeyore

OK...just read back through the chog. I am all caught up.

6:48 pm

MollyL

Tough times for our (((Sue)))

6:48 pm

uusue2

hi, car, we are ok.

6:49 pm

car.eeyore

I am glad to hear that. Please have him (or you) record every text, FB, voicemail, etc message that she sends. You will need them.

6:50 pm

MollyL

Very good advice Car.

6:50 pm

uusue2

yes, we're doing that (and she's already messaging him - I have told him that he is UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES to reply to her, as that could turn what is now a misdemeanor charge against him into a felony)

6:51 pm

uusue2

she's already admitted guilt to him but in a way that probably won't be too useful in court (although it might help)

6:51 pm

car.eeyore

Print out what you can. Record anything you can. He CANNOT answer her. Does he get that?

6:51 pm

uusue2

I think so, car.

6:52 pm

car.eeyore

How is he doing? Is he seeing the light?

6:52 pm

car.eeyore

He must be very rattled from all of this.

6:52 pm

uusue2

it seems so; he is pretty despondent and is feeling abused by the legal system as well as by her

6:53 pm

MollyL

Sue, who pressed charges? Her, or the cops?

6:53 pm

car.eeyore

I am so sorry you are all having to go through this. Try your best to get him to a counselor / therapist.

6:53 pm

uusue2

but I do have a lawyer for him, and will be getting him into counseling shortly (although the local domestic violence shelter won't talk to him - that bummed him out too)

6:53 pm

uusue2

the cops, molly

6:54 pm

MollyL

Unbelievable. He is the one with all the bruises and they pressed charges against HIM?

6:55 pm

car.eeyore

He has a lot to feel upset about.

6:55 pm

uusue2

yep. they talked to her first, she told them he'd pulled her out of the car by the hair (so no marks) and then told him everything he said was bull****

6:55 pm

uusue2

one of the cops was kind of sympathetic, but the rest not so much

6:56 pm

uusue2

and it may be that the bruises hadn't really had time to develop; I'll bet he looks a lot worse now than he did at first

6:56 pm

MollyL

Let your lawyer know about the sympathetic cop. That could come in handy later.

6:56 pm

car.eeyore

Unfortunately, that is the generally the norm.

6:56 pm

uusue2

will do, molly!

6:57 pm

MollyL

I find it very sad that the domestic abuse place won't talk to him.

6:57 pm

car.eeyore

as do I, but if on record the charges are against him, they don't want to have anything to do with him.

6:57 pm

uusue2

yeah, he was really bummed by that, molly (but he's been accused of abuse and they deal with victims...)

6:58 pm

car.eeyore

Sorry...that is at least what I am assuming in why they won't talk to him...

6:58 pm

uusue2

I think so, car

6:58 pm

MollyL

Dear God, the falsely accused really have nowhere to turn, do they?

6:58 pm

car.eeyore

nope.

6:59 pm

uusue2

it can be a real nightmare, mollly

6:59 pm

MollyL

Well, given her history of hysterical and violent behavior, I think a good attorney can get this cleared up. That's what I will pray for Sue.

7:00 pm

uusue2

thanks, molly, I really appreciate it!

7:00 pm

car.eeyore

I have to get this huge file done. I just wanted to make sure you and your son were OK sue. Hang tough. Talk / call if you need support. I will be praying for you and your son...and also for her. She needs help desperately.

7:00 pm

MollyL

I believe in the power of positive thought Sue.

7:00 pm

uusue2

thx, car!! and you are right about her...

7:01 pm

MollyL

Thanks for the reminder Car. I always forget to pray for the one that is irritating me.

7:02 pm

uusue2

when we had the shooting on campus 3 years ago, one of the churches put up 6 crosses - one each for the murdered students and one for the shooter - people ripped down the 6th cross but I get it...

7:04 pm

MollyL

I think if we neglect to pray for the misguided, they stay misguided.

7:07 pm

car.eeyore

Absolutely. They need prayers too...although I agree it is NOT easy to do sometimes.

7:07 pm

car.eeyore

Good night my friends. I will be thinking of you all! {{hugs}}

7:07 pm

uusue2

indeed.

7:08 pm

car.eeyore

Oh...and Sue...take your son's phone in with you when you go to bed.

7:08 pm

uusue2

night, car, and that won't be easy...

7:08 pm

gapeach

Evening everyone. May I please have a clue for sh6-21? tHANKS

7:23 pm

MollyL

Sue, just a tough love comment...take it or leave it...if you pay for that cell phone, you decide where it's going to spend the night.

7:23 pm

Trifioso

whew, thanks!

7:23 pm

Trifioso

Sue, read back...so sorry to hear of your sad situation

7:23 pm

MollyL

Hi Trif.

7:23 pm

uusue2

I agree, molly, and thanks - it's a good idea. I just don't want to wake him up right now (maybe later)

7:24 pm

uusue2

7:24 pm

Trifioso

7:25 pm

uusue2

7:26 pm

MollyL

That used to be me and the phone. It was like a trigger for whining and horrible behavior.

7:29 pm

gapeach

May I polease have a clue for at6-21? Thanks

7:30 pm

uusue2

7:30 pm

7:31 pm

7:31 pm

MollyL

As usual, not a word we use in everyday conversation.

7:34 pm

uusue2

apparently it is the opposite of te5/12 (also not in everyday usage, at least at my house)

7:38 pm

uusue2

8:20 pm

Jillyjill

When I first saw grid I was wondering how in the world there could be that many V words....but actually surprisingly easy..

8:22 pm

uusue2

indeed, they weren't all that bad.

8:24 pm

MollyL

I thought the ae/ea thing in this grid got very tiresome.

8:25 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

8:25 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

8:25 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...that it did Molly

8:28 pm

uusue2

hi, min!

8:28 pm

uusue2

and molly, it didn't seem to me that there was significantly more of the ae/ea thing than usual in this grid but maybe I am just getting used to babble words :-)

8:29 pm

MollyL

*Checks Sue for fever* I don't think I will ever get used to all the nonsense words. That's what drags me down trying to get through these grids.

8:31 pm

Shelley33

Fireworks...so excited, I am new at this game and this is my first time :)

I am ok- headachy today - rought day at work. How are you ?

9:15 pm

Have you seen the Barking Cat video?

9:16 pm

DR1965

Yes, I loved it

9:17 pm

Damn funny

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

Gnight Min

9:18 pm

herinfernallady

A lot of people are calling Fake on the video. My cat makes the same noise when hacking a hairball or the other one when she is pissy about animals in the yard

9:19 pm

DR1965

I dont think it was fake

9:21 pm

herinfernallady

I don't either since my cat does that

9:23 pm

DR1965

I do not like this grid very much

9:25 pm

herinfernallady

I have 32 left a lot of bablets. I was playing this last night on the iphone as I couldn't sleep. OR I was just about to go to sleep and the cat or himself had a whinge

9:25 pm

DR1965

I have 11 to go but need to go to the store for a card for Jakes teacher- school ends tomorrow

9:28 pm

herinfernallady

How is Jake? Can't you make one?

9:29 pm

DR1965

Jake is good! He is going to be in another play and ended the 6th grade with a 3.8 GPA . - I could make one but we need milk for breakfast also

9:30 pm

herinfernallady

WOW

9:30 pm

herinfernallady

O the milk thing.

9:30 pm

herinfernallady

My cats are playing> Pandora is playing My table f off

9:31 pm

DR1965

:) His grades this year were mostly B's and he wanted to make honor roll so he wokred really hard

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

OK I have found 93 words out of my brain.

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

Aww DR I have an idea

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

Did he make the honor roll?

9:31 pm

DR1965

Yes he did

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

YAH

9:32 pm

DR1965

3.6 and above is honor roll

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

I was going to say if he didn't you could have an award made for him

9:32 pm

DR1965

Last year he was 4.0 for most of hte year but this year there were some teacher personalty issues

9:32 pm

DR1965

That IS a good idea

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

Happens. As long as he doesn't take it personally. IN life there is always a superior that sucks ass.

9:33 pm

DR1965

He has learned

9:33 pm

DR1965

This is a teacher who told me she did not understand why Jake always had a book with him

9:34 pm

herinfernallady

You kidding me right?

9:35 pm

herinfernallady

DR: http://tinyurl.com/3m4a2k4 something like this maybe

9:35 pm

DR1965

Nope! She has never read Harry POtter or any of the young teen books and she teachers young teens

9:35 pm

DR1965

She is into math and Science- not reading

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

That makes no sense. I would be beating kids with books to get them to read.

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

Has he read the Deltora series?

9:36 pm

uusue2

good heavens. Just wanted to point out that math and science are in no way incompatible with reading. ?!?!?!?

9:37 pm

DR1965

No- He hasn't - who wrote it?

9:37 pm

DR1965

THanks UUSUE- That was my point as well

9:38 pm

DR1965

That is a cool idea Herin ( on the link)

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

EMily Rodda

9:38 pm

DR1965

ok Thansk Herin- I am writing that down

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Sue. I will also ask a friend on FB what else boys like to read.

9:40 pm

DR1965

ok thanks Herin- He is into Greek mythology, vampires and mysteries... He has read all kinds of things. Last time we were at the library, the librarian asked him what HE recommended for a 13 yr old- I was pretty cool

9:40 pm

DR1965

ok we are off to buy milk

9:40 pm

DR1965

9:41 pm

stidmama

hello all. adding my two cents: a teacher in ANY discipline who is not in touch with the literature that appeals to her students isn't doing the job properly. There are a multitude of opportunities to engage with young minds through literature -- in EVERY discipline.

9:41 pm

stidmama

bye DR... *sigh*

11:29 pm

doxy1lover

11:31 pm

stidmama

thanks pini -- I hated that whole soul-sucking final year. Glad it's over. The only good times were the ones I was with the kids.

11:31 pm

stidmama

hey peach!

11:31 pm

DR1965

good point Stid

11:31 pm

DR1965

ty Pini - He got an actual role in hte musical Seussical with solos and stuff.

11:31 pm

stidmama

the moodiness and anxiety will come and go (as all adolescent moods) but for us they are on days like today (auditions) and during tech week with a peak on opening night and closing night.

11:32 pm

gapeach

Thanks much uusue and DR1965.

11:32 pm

DR1965

We just came back from Target where they had Dr Seuss stickers in the $1.00 bin so we bought them for the production staff

11:32 pm

gapeach

Hi there, stidmama. Hope you are well.

11:32 pm

DR1965

auditions for what today?

11:33 pm

stidmama

Anything Goes, he doesn't feel good about his audition, but has a good chance at a prime part because it's his last summer with this company and because there are only 6 strong male actors auditioning for more than 7 strong male roles.

11:34 pm

stidmama

Actually, I suspect he is just being his usual hyper-self-critical self.

11:35 pm

gapeach

Fireworks. Thanks for all the help.....see y'all at the flip.

11:35 pm

stidmama

gah. it's 9:35... I should take another puff on that inhaler thingy (still getting used to it) and head for bed
