all anyone needs to do is have you listed amongst their "Friends" and they can retrieve it at any time

12:54 am

negativeneil

Ugh. No idea why some of it's messed up like that?

12:55 am

gortmold

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

anyone so inclined.... say a few prayers for us this week... we have had lots of showings lately... really want an offer soon - we think we found the house we want... would appreciate prayers for details to all work out soon :))

12:55 am

cosdem

12:56 am

negativeneil

Yes, but it got messed up in the chog for some reason, gortmold. I pasted it from a notepad the same as I did to my profile... and it isn't messed up there. Weird.

12:56 am

cybernan

gort you can compare side by side from lists in profiles as well

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

Do you want the dresses Katie?

1:48 am

negativeneil

Until I can post it on Babbleanon.

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

my spacing works better if I put it in Excel like ARB taught me

1:49 am

flosey

wtg Dee,

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

here are the instructions she gave me: Instructions from ARB for putting babble grid results into profile:

â€¢ Copy word list into an Excel spreadsheet (the word, the number of letters and the points go into 5 columns (because of ? for dictionary).
â€¢ Then insert a column after the word.
â€¢ Then write a formula in the first line after the word, example - " =left($B1,2)" (the $ makes the formula absolute)
â€¢ Then copy the formula all the way down (put cursor in bottom right of the top cell with the formula and drag down to end of word list).
â€¢ Voila you have 3 columns with first 2 letters, length, points

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

ty flosey

1:49 am

KatieMcG

No thanks I'll dig out a suit I've got a big meeting this morning and really not in the mood for it as I found out by a lack of bold on a list that I am not a senior member of the team yesterday - no a good way to find out and not a fair reflection of this years work either! working at home this afternoon to sulk properly

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

not very equitable treatment, so sorry Katie

1:51 am

negativeneil

And ARB's the authority? I just do the list in notepad and copy and paste it to my profile from there.

1:52 am

mari

sorry about that Katie - will speak to you later

1:52 am

KatieMcG

It's ok Dee, it's pride really I still get paid the same but to go from covering for everyone and everything and then find out you now below another 3 people who haven't been doing it was a little disappointing. My Boss is back today so we'll see how she explains that I didn't know.

1:52 am

negativeneil

But the clues aren't in separate letter pair groups that way, Dee... and that makes it easier to see them. At least for me anyway.

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

no, definitely not, neil... was just sharing how i have been posting in my profile... not a criticism of you ... wow

1:53 am

KatieMcG

I should just be grateful that I've got a job and I will be when I get over my sulk lol

1:53 am

negativeneil

Huh? "wow"? Geez, I think you read something into that that wasn't there, to be saying "wow"?

1:53 am

jillibus

It is easier to see the clues when they are grouped

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

look at my profile to see the end results... nothing more than just telling you what I have done... you can do whatever is easiest for you. You are way tooo kind by posting so early!!

1:53 am

negativeneil

Sure didn't mean it the way you seem to have taken it.

1:54 am

negativeneil

Exactly, jilli. For me it is, anyway.

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

great, no problem!!

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

I hate chat logs.. ... I didn't mean to sound abrupt.

1:55 am

negativeneil

Yeah, if a spreadsheet put the letter pair groups in columns that would be great. Never used one so I don't know how that would work?

1:55 am

negativeneil

I don't have anything like that on here.

1:55 am

KatieMcG

so easy for things to sound different than the intention behind it

1:55 am

negativeneil

Yep. Too easy sometimes.

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

it comes out like the one in my profile now ... when using Excel

1:55 am

jillibus

Well, I need a bedtime snack and then my pillow so goodnight all and ...*poof

1:56 am

negativeneil

Ok, that's no different from how I do it... except I separate my letter pair groups, to make it easier to see them.

It's supposed to be the end of our hot spell today but the sun has come out so I am rushing to the garden. Hair? I've had blonde streaks put in my ginger hair but it was a big mistake as I look like I've gone grey!

hello kalia

oh silver is lovely!

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

3:38 am

sprite

ruby, such intimate invitations!

3:38 am

rubyfoo

was just sh**ing....:(

3:38 am

Kallia

I've got used to it now. Gave up with the colour about a year ago

3:38 am

sprite

never much understood the whole issue with greying. I don't care at all. So, I have lots of grey in my hair.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

meant the hairstyle! hahah

3:39 am

Kallia

lol sprite!

3:39 am

rubyfoo

I think the big mistake is when women of "a certan age" dye their hair black. It is much less kind to the wrinkles

3:40 am

Kallia

comes from the same place as the size zero thing sprite

3:40 am

rubyfoo

but you almost never see a grey-haired French woman. They can be 100 yrs old, walking with two canes, and they have red hair (or, worse, pink)

3:40 am

Kallia

black is awful, actually makes people look older, which I guess isn't the intention

3:40 am

sprite

I think so too, Kallia. A sad thing. I may be messed up in many a way, but I am pretty comfortable being me and looking like me, which is greying and much overweight.

3:41 am

sprite

I sometimes think hard black is only for the very young.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

we have a (male) friend who I'm sure dyes his hair black (or else it's a bad toupee) and it is awful

3:41 am

Kallia

yes very sad, and so sad for youngsters who don't fit the mold, who have such bad self image

3:42 am

rubyfoo

we have an Irish friend with a red-haired daughter who went "goth" and dyed her gorgeous red locks pitch black.

3:42 am

sprite

the crazy thing is, most youngsters don't fit the mold. And have bad self esteem.

3:42 am

Kallia

yeah but that's a teenagher beautiful haire phase ruby...she'll come to appreciate

3:43 am

sprite

lol rubyfoo, the red that was the envy of most other people... but it will be there when she stops needing the goth.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

and her red was ao beautiful

3:43 am

rubyfoo

it's funny, because she's a lovely girl, teaches French and skiing, and doesn't act "goth", but has ruined her lovely hair

3:44 am

Kallia

indeed sprite, but that is the joy we.ve lost...everyone being individual...we are all being programmed lol

3:44 am

sprite

not in her own opinion. It is so much fun to DO something like that, daring it and going for what you want.

3:45 am

sprite

I have had so many friends of my daughter's here at home already, so insecure, and often pushed down at home even. Like having to go on a diet for just a bit of hip or belly. Crazy stuff.

3:47 am

Kallia

seems to be the way these days....conform to stereotyped looks or you aren't worth anything

3:48 am

Kallia

takes a long time to get over the damage that that does!

3:48 am

sprite

yeah. I am pretty happy my children are rather headstrong and prefer their own styles. I hope they will always be that way.

3:48 am

sprite

yes it does, Kallia :(

3:48 am

Kallia

I'm sure they will, they have you for a mother after all :)

3:49 am

sprite

lol :) And an equally be-my-own-man father, luckily.

3:49 am

Kallia

well adjusted then :)

3:50 am

Kallia

I had 2dainty little sisters, younger, and I was the big clumsy one.....

3:50 am

sprite

hahahaha... in a way. Though for so4 people we are far from acceptable and adjusted.

3:51 am

rubyfoo

did they grow bigger and taller, kalia?

3:51 am

Kallia

nope, just aged really really badly lol.....

3:51 am

Kallia

everyone thinks I am the youngest by about 15 years

3:52 am

rubyfoo

serves them right! I think we have a choice, as we age, to be a little overweight and have fewer wrinkles or to be a little "chicken old lady" like me

3:52 am

sprite

lol... time will even out most scores, won't it. It is so sad, people comparing their children. Each is different, and unless ill, perfect in their own way.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

my mother had fewer wrinkles at 85 than I have now

3:52 am

Kallia

gives me a little satisfaction...I know its unworthy, but still lol

3:53 am

sprite

I am severely overweight but I have almost no wrinkles. My sister, 3 years the younger, is much slimmer but also much wrinklier. So I guess you are right.

3:53 am

Kallia

oh I so agree with you Sprite

3:53 am

sprite

hey, their superiority thing was unworthy too. Enjoy the satisfation :D

3:53 am

rubyfoo

amen!

3:54 am

Kallia

my children are all very well adjusted individuals, getting on very well with their own lives, in their own ways

3:54 am

sprite

oh btw, i don't mean ill children are not perfect in their own way. I just mean, when they suffer and you can do something about it, of course you should, and do. But no need to 'fix' differences that don't lead to suffering.

3:55 am

sprite

Kallia, that is the best 'revenge' of all.

3:55 am

dpomfr

Has Babble Expert given up the ghost? Doesn't seem to have worked for several days.

3:55 am

Kallia

LOL Sprite I do....and I know you didn't mean that!

3:56 am

Kallia

my kids get lots of criticism from my sisters .....no idea why, except that they are beautiful, intelligent and their own person

3:57 am

rubyfoo

it sounds like you've both done great jobs with your kids. HAVING an only son has made mine very independent and his own man. Of course, he's pretty old now

3:58 am

rubyfoo

BTW, he has a new band, sprite, the Bravados. I should have some music in FB soon

3:58 am

Kallia

so are my kids ruby, old I mean lol

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I'm 68 and he's almost 48

3:59 am

Kallia

same as me then Ruby......my eldest is 50 next month and my youngest is 34

3:59 am

rubyfoo

so you were a child bride, too

4:00 am

sprite

dpomfr, the one making the clues is not available for unspecified time. The clues won't be done much.

4:00 am

Kallia

yep, stolen away from my abusive father

4:00 am

sprite

great, rubyfoo. I am still enjoying his other CD.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

I was stolen from a happy home, much to young to leave my mother!

4:01 am

sprite

wow, well done husband, Kallia. Am glad you got away. Was/is the marriage happy?

4:01 am

rubyfoo

{{sprite}}, you are so sweet

4:01 am

rubyfoo

too*

4:01 am

sprite

lol, what is sweet about telling the truth? If it had been awful, I'd have told you too :)

4:02 am

rubyfoo

no you wouldn't.....

4:02 am

Kallia

not really Sprite...too young, but I'vebeen married to my 2nd husband for 37 years, and he is a gem

4:02 am

rubyfoo

he is lucky to have found a wife who lets him follow his dream. He is a data-base administrator, but has given it up to play music full-time

4:02 am

rubyfoo

but they don't have children

4:02 am

sprite

*hugs Kallia* That is just great. You have probably done a lot of 'growing' since. Happy news.

4:03 am

rubyfoo

37 years!

4:03 am

sprite

every partner should not just allow, but encourage the other one to follow their dream.

4:04 am

sprite

I mean news that makes me happy. To see we can overcome our youth problems.

4:04 am

Kallia

oh I agree with thatwholeheartedly Sprite

4:04 am

rubyfoo

she is amazing! Their living room is the studio, full of guitars and sound equipment. She is very frugal and organizes their money but he bought a Les Paul last year

4:04 am

sprite

that lady rocks!

4:05 am

Kallia

yes and problems can be overcome, as I said earlier, sometimes takes a long time, but in the end you get there

4:05 am

sprite

amen to that!

4:05 am

rubyfoo

yes, she does! and she is a data-base administrator also, working for Dell at the moment, but as an independent contractor

4:05 am

rubyfoo

how many years did it take you to leave the first husband, Kalia?

4:06 am

rubyfoo

It took me almost 8

4:06 am

Kallia

well we had 3 kids really quickly....it was 10 years, we just grew apart and he wanted different things...wasn't a good father

4:07 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, we only had one, but it still was very hard to leave as I had never lived on my own before

4:07 am

Kallia

was just never there for either me or the kids after thefirst couple of years

4:07 am

sprite

I didn't marry young, I didn't have the courage. Or maybe, looking back, I had the wisdom to know my longtime boyfriend was no husband material. He was abusive, though never physically with me. My husband (of 15 years, yay!) is the best I could wish for and then some.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

you were smart to have identified the "wrong" choice early on.

4:08 am

sprite

how lonely, Kallia

4:08 am

rubyfoo

there's nothing lonelier than a bad marriage!

4:09 am

sprite

I like to think some guardian angel sometimes whispers in my ear.

4:09 am

Kallia

yes wisdom sprite...when you are in a really bad place,it iseasy to mistake feelings, just the longing to get away makes you think its theright thing

4:09 am

rubyfoo

time to take a break; see you later, ladies. Thank you for sh**ing your stories with me

4:09 am

sprite

yes exactly. I was so very needy back then.

4:09 am

sprite

bye for now, rubyfoo

4:11 am

you were lol

4:11 am

Kallia

but I have to go too,,,thanks for the chat, don't know what came over me, usually don't talk about tese things :)

4:11 am

Kallia

but it was good:)

4:12 am

4:12 am

company of like-minded women, no doubt. Thanks Kallia. It means a lot to me, to know it can be done!

4:12 am

hi zoom, 206 today

4:22 am

really?! can there be 206 in this grid? is there a list anywhere?

4:22 am

also I am pivish that pivish isn't spelled pivish!

4:22 am

you could check volleymomdee's profile, or negativeneil's to see if they have lists posted.

good luck, zoom, and have fun

4:24 am

hi Uni, yes, that too!

4:25 am

I can vouch for 130 of the words, zoom, btw. So far not a hard grid.

4:25 am

Uniquity

Hi Sprite! I've given myself a time limit...I only get 6 more minutes. I have had smoothish sailing so far

4:25 am

zoom

i'm impressed....i only have 69 and starting to stall!

4:26 am

sprite

nice, Uni!
zoom, it is practice, nothing else. Have been playing this game for ages. My advice for this one is: find the endings and use them for each and every word. :)

4:27 am

zoom

thanks for that...will give it a try

4:27 am

sprite

time limit, so very wise! Self discipline. Now where did I put mine...

4:28 am

Uniquity

Well, so far it is my compromise so that I can Babble before work, but still do some reading and get ready. We'll see how it goes. : )

4:29 am

sprite

you will succeed, Uni.

4:31 am

Good luck all, and I am away. Happy gridding!

sprite

yeah am ok. And you? And the children?

4:36 am

mrpresident

ok too thanks

4:37 am

sprite

any progress in getting the help you need?

4:37 am

mrpresident

lickety came home for the afternoon, went back to hospital a couple of hours ago. Maddi refused to talk to him, see him, or even be in the same house as him. not good

4:38 am

sprite

well it is good, actually. You as well as the children have to handle this in your own ways. Maddi is mad and disappointed, and she shows it. I think she is entitled to.

4:39 am

sprite

could you handle Lickety being home?

4:39 am

mrpresident

luke, however, listened to everything he had to say and agreed to trust that he would repair all the damage HE has done... but, he cried the whole time his dad was here

4:40 am

mrpresident

Mark got an absolute shock, didn't think maddi would react that way. hmmm, cause she has always been his 'little girl'.

4:41 am

sprite

it is very hard on the children. But then again, they are wise enough to know people can break under stress and duress. Nobody is infallible. If they can see that eventually even big bads can be forgiven and people can actually grow from them, it will give them a lot of confidence.

4:41 am

mrpresident

i had to sprite, i was the one that invited him and asked him to explain it all, then go back to hospital and take a good hard look at what we were dealing with...

4:42 am

sprite

yeah Lickety has to face the consequences as well. I think you did the right thing. It is his to explain.

4:42 am

mrpresident

was a good move i think... he saw it from where we were standing.

4:42 am

mrpresident

tomorrow, i make some more decisions, one day at a time.

4:43 am

sprite

very wise, hun. You have amazing strength, but it is not endless. Am glad you give yourself time to load up in between. How about the help you need?

4:44 am

mrpresident

as in money and housing?

4:44 am

sprite

and advice and support too

4:45 am

sprite

and hugs, now that I am thinking about it. Lots of hugs.

4:45 am

mrpresident

looked for that, got very little today... and the payment i was expecting didn't come through. it was a tough day really

4:46 am

mrpresident

thanks sprite *hugs*

4:46 am

sprite

*holds mrP close and warm*
Tomorrow will be better. I hope the payment comes through.

4:46 am

mrpresident

we all have to deal with bloody shit life at times.

4:46 am

sprite

yep... the times when life isn't just a bitch, but has lots of puppies.

4:47 am

mrpresident

LOL !! too right

4:48 am

ursh

Somebody once paid us their account and attached a note saying "the wolf at the door had puppies and he sold them" hence the payment

4:48 am

ursh

and hello all

4:48 am

sprite

wow, some statement. Hi ursh!

4:49 am

mrpresident

hi ursh :)

4:49 am

mrpresident

yeah ursh, i might use that!

4:52 am

mrpresident

i have bills piling up... geez!

4:53 am

sprite

I can imagine, mrP. Scary :(

4:53 am

mrpresident

I wanna know who said 'the Lord never gives us more than we can handle'... humf!

4:54 am

debjed

good morning - thinking of you mrp!! hang in there

4:54 am

mrpresident

sprite, did I tell you what I did?? after thinking about it for 7 days? to the people who introduced lickety to where he ended up?

4:54 am

mrpresident

hi deb! thank you darling... my babble friends are great!! so so happy to have you all

4:55 am

sprite

no dear, you didn't? Tell me!

4:55 am

sprite

mrP, the one who said that, also added that he measures our cross out to the very millimetre!

4:55 am

mrpresident

i called the 'authorities', and now, his 'friend' has called about 10 times today, cause someone is in jail, and lost their children to welfare services

4:56 am

mrpresident

eye for an eye??? or turn the other cheek?? hmmmm, thought about it carefully and decided 'protect the young and innocent'

4:56 am

sprite

people pushing that kind of stuff must be in jail, and however bad the welfare can be, it is still better than being with a parent like that. Sorry to be judgmental, but I mean it.

4:58 am

mrpresident

well sprite, God gave me strength, cause I could be in a shitload of trouble, if it were not for annonymous... even though the 'authorities' knew exactly who I was, they left my name out of everything.

4:58 am

sprite

hey, if you can vent a bit of your anger toward the people who deserve it, it is not a bad thing. No need to be holier than we are.

4:58 am

sprite

very wise. You don't need any extra trouble.

4:58 am

mrpresident

you know what is the best thing that came out of all this shit??? the best thing???

4:58 am

sprite

now?

4:59 am

sprite

I mean what?

4:59 am

mrpresident

My husband found his spirituality... he has finally found God and believes that there is someone greater than HIMSELF! That, is, amazing!

4:59 am

debjed

yay for him!!! :)

4:59 am

sprite

oh that is wonderful. That will help him more than anything.

5:01 am

mrpresident

that is the most positive and amazing and blessed thing to come out of all this... he is coming to my church now... my Dad always said it would eventually happen, but would take something big for it to happen.

5:02 am

mrpresident

yes, he is drawing strength from God now... that is just fantastic!! I am so happy about that.

5:02 am

sprite

I am glad. Eventually, things will work out. I only wish there was a way to make the road a bit easier on you all.

5:03 am

sprite

hehehe am picturing Lickety, feeling for the first time how real that strength feels. That is such a great thing.

5:04 am

ursh

MrP - I wonder if the facility he is in practises the AA 12 Step Programme - which is a very spiritual programme in itself ??

5:05 am

sprite

so very true, ursh

5:06 am

ursh

Step 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.

5:07 am

ursh

Step 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

5:07 am

sprite

looks like Lickety did both steps already

5:09 am

ursh

Yes sprite the first 3 steps are a reaching out for help - which is great

5:10 am

sprite

actually, that would work for most crises, wouldn't it

5:11 am

ursh

AA believes you can adapt the programme for any kind of life problem not only addiction

5:11 am

mrpresident

brb, dad is on phone

5:11 am

sprite

from what I know about it, they are right.

5:12 am

ursh

I know a couple of recovered alcoholics and always thought they were such lovely people because they had been to hell and back but since becoming involved in Al Anon I have realised that they "live" their 12 steps every single day

5:13 am

sprite

I would take the company of people who have been through hell and back over that of people who never had a hard time anyday.

5:15 am

ursh

Yeah sprite surviving hard times does make us humble and grateful and therefore happy

5:15 am

sprite

and often less judgemental too.

5:16 am

ursh

oh yes definitely

5:21 am

herinfernallady

hi

5:21 am

sprite

hey lady *hug*

5:21 am

herinfernallady

Sorry if I just bugger off :(

5:22 am

sprite

np hun

5:23 am

mrpresident

my dad is having difficulties with lickety's 'path' to sobriety... oh well, he is hurt too.

5:23 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres is it just alchole?

5:23 am

herinfernallady

Excuse my typing

5:23 am

sprite

yes, everybody is hurt, it is only understandable. *hugs*

5:28 am

herinfernallady

5:28 am

sprite

5:32 am

mrpresident

hi ieves :)

5:32 am

sprite

(am back, btw, but I guess you knew that)

5:32 am

ivesy3

morning sprite.

5:33 am

ivesy3

sensed it lol

5:33 am

sprite

:)

5:33 am

herinfernallady

Hi Iveys

5:33 am

ivesy3

hi herein...

5:34 am

herinfernallady

Anyone got a suggestion for Jet Lag?

5:34 am

ivesy3

mr p.. my son has been in rehab 3x.. so i can relate to the tears, anger. etc..

5:35 am

sprite

not really, lady, except the ones that are always given: adapt your time to the time of arrival straight from the start, try to keep awake until sleeping time in the new time, drink a lot of water.

5:35 am

sprite

how hard, ivesy. How is he now?

5:36 am

herinfernallady

I have basically jet lag because of stupid daylight savings

5:36 am

ivesy3

he is clean and sober for over a year.. but i so wish he would follow the 12 steps and reach for his higher power.

5:37 am

mrpresident

oh boy ives... i have another babble friend who has the same thing... so many times!

5:37 am

mrpresident

i personally don't understand how he is on a methadone program for 5 years now!!

5:37 am

sprite

it is much more common than you'd think, mrP. You are not alone in this. And there is no shame attached.

5:38 am

sprite

I think it is great he is staying clean and sober, ivesy. And trust that he will reach for that power once he is ready.

5:38 am

ivesy3

all we can do mrp.. is be there for them. and try to trust them. which is prob. the hardest thing to do.

5:38 am

mrpresident

yes, lickety is really trying hard to get to that higher power, and stop thinking selfishly that he is his own strength and everything is just luck or the role of a dice.

5:39 am

ivesy3

ty sprite. we just take it day to day.

5:39 am

ivesy3

they always say, have to hit rock bottom first .

5:39 am

mrpresident

ok, have to go for a bit... bbs :)

5:39 am

sprite

bye mrP *hugs*

5:39 am

ivesy3

take care there mrp.. we are here for u!

5:40 am

sprite

it is true, ivesy. Have seen it happen so often.

5:40 am

herinfernallady

Bye Pres

5:41 am

ivesy3

saw it with my son sprite.. when he started to look for cocaine, he knew it was time. thk god he didnt find any.

5:42 am

sprite

omg indeed. Such an ugly drug.

5:42 am

herinfernallady

Im just going to lurk on the grounds I am probably going to be snarky

5:43 am

sprite

I have a friend who actually used heroine with needles... they say once you get there, there is no way back. But he came back and has been clean for over 15 years now.

5:43 am

sprite

*hugs lady* I love you, snarky and lurking and all.

5:44 am

ivesy3

lots of strength needed. but people do get clean

5:45 am

sprite

someone here said there is no way out but through. I think that is so true. It can be done, if you are willing to take every step, one by one.

5:47 am

herinfernallady

I think it is best I stay quiet adn know that you all have my thoughts and supports as my personal oppinions will not help

5:48 am

sprite

I think all opinions have an equal place and right to be there. But in the end, opinions is all we can give.

5:48 am

sprite

only the person in the situation can see every aspect, and often even that is hard.

5:49 am

herinfernallady

true.

5:50 am

ivesy3

each indiviudal handles it in their own way.i have heard many diff. opinions. i dont let them affect me. i listen.sometimes someone outside of the matter can see things more clearly.

5:51 am

ivesy3

and it is my opinion that i need coffee lol..

5:52 am

sprite

If I can, I try to see every opinion als a potential inspiration. Though I often have trouble handling criticism, taking it too personally. But am learning.

5:55 am

sprite

coffee sounds good to me.

5:56 am

herinfernallady

Toast and milo sounds good to me

5:56 am

sprite

:)

5:56 am

going back to bed sounds good to me

5:57 am

hey wildcat. Sleep well then :)

5:57 am

herinfernallady

Going to bed sounds better once my stomach decides to not be crappy

5:57 am

wildcat17

5:58 am

wildcat17

5:58 am

6:01 am

herinfernallady

Drat

6:01 am

wildcat17

especially on this short of notice

6:02 am

sprite

cancel everything else and promise yourself a very early night? Cuddle in bed with a book and allow yourself to drift to sleep very early?

6:02 am

wildcat17

there's a good possibility

6:02 am

herinfernallady

Try. And teachers do such a good job

6:03 am

sprite

might help you through the day, knowing you will be able to rest up and let go in a couple of hours.

6:03 am

wildcat17

another good possibility

6:04 am

wildcat17

that and babbling during lunch

6:04 am

sprite

yeah!

6:05 am

7:07 am

sprite

oh smarty!

7:08 am

herinfernallady

Awwww. We bought this fish toy that had netting in the bottom were you put the cat treats. The point is the cat paws out the food via the mouth. NOT Lucius . He just ate the mesh

7:09 am

sprite

hahahah

7:10 am

herinfernallady

It took him under 30 min to do this.We should have known he was destructor cat

7:10 am

I am *such* a glum chum this morning! I have a script I need to finish by...welll....NOW and I am totally stuck. Just can't get it together. taking a break to babble, and hoping a word in the grid may spark something and I will get it finished. Mostly just avoiding the task altogether (how helpful!)

7:20 am

poor Trif, I know that feeling. *sends an inspiring muse to Trif*

7:21 am

Trifioso

thanks sprite!

7:21 am

herinfernallady

Um Any help you need?

7:23 am

Trifioso

nah, but thank you herin. a lot of my problem is just general malaise with regards to the kids in this particular workshop. Just not really a warm, happy bunch, and I don't love the theme they picked either, so the whole piece has a rather b*tchy vibe to it, that is probably rather inappropriate for a children's play....lol

7:23 am

sprite

nah, children love bitchy. Go for it.

7:23 am

herinfernallady

What is the theme and can you put a possitive spin on it?

TheLegend

who has a list?

7:56 am

bobmcc

i vaguely recall a horse named Phar Lap..but i guess "Phar' was just random. I can't get any Egyptian ruler either, just a beacon.

7:58 am

crosshair

phar lap was a good movie and so was ildalgo

7:58 am

herinfernallady

Yes there was a horse called Phar Lap. His pelt is in Melbourne and the heart is in Canbera

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, I will be spending the afternoon in Ontario at Niagara-on-the-Lake. We'll paddle in Lake Ontario and the Niagara River.

8:01 am

herinfernallady

Miss seeing you Scrabbler

8:02 am

Scrabbler

I've been here but I no longer finish grids unless they are small. I aim for halfway.

8:02 am

crosshair

very nice,too bad you can not come up here,would kayak you round our bit of georgian bay..you can even see some old submerged wrecks

8:03 am

crosshair

but the water has a 2 foot chop right now..so not today:(

8:03 am

Scrabbler

I must come further north someday, Crossy. How far are you from Toronto?

8:04 am

crosshair

2.5 hours north on the town of collingwood on georgian bay,right at the base of blue mtn

8:04 am

Scrabbler

So 4.5-5 hrs from here. I must do that!

8:04 am

car.eeyore

<---- getting into car with map....

Scrabbler

Car, meet me in Buffalo and then we'll cross the border into Canada.

8:05 am

crosshair

ill put brekkies on

8:06 am

herinfernallady

I vote road trip but I think I will win on most distance traveled

8:06 am

uusue2

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sue! How are classes for you and Leo?

8:07 am

uusue2

I'm in, crossy!

8:08 am

uusue2

pretty good, scrabs, Leo is struggling with time management but I think he is doing better than in the past

8:08 am

uusue2

he's also feeling a bit stifled; it's tough to be living at home when you are 21

8:08 am

car.eeyore

That is OK....I know you will catch up!

8:08 am

car.eeyore

It's tough living at home when you are 43!!!

8:08 am

bobmcc

looking for the last "P" word and that'll be it for the day..

8:09 am

uusue2

lol, car!

8:09 am

car.eeyore

I only have 1 P word...sorry bob.

8:09 am

car.eeyore

...and that is ph***s of the moon

8:09 am

uusue2

I have agreed to teach an honors seminar in the spring (honors students have to take an upper-division seminar outside their major) - I decided to do sports physics

8:09 am

Scrabbler

I draw a pie chart for adolescents--168 hrs in a week. The challenge is to keep the wedges at appropriate sizes, i.e. do not allow "social life" to dominate. Keep sleep and school wedges at right sizes.

8:10 am

uusue2

don't ask me why, I guess I was hoping it would be interesting

8:10 am

car.eeyore

Good for you Sue!

8:10 am

uusue2

yeah, he doesn't want anybody drawing his pie charts, scrabs :-)

8:10 am

car.eeyore

Oooh! Just got ph6/24

8:10 am

uusue2

and he is working, too, sometimes on short notice - he does audio and video for the school of music

8:11 am

Scrabbler

As a longtime tennis player (college too) I am fascinated with the elements of physics in tennis!

8:11 am

car.eeyore

Sue...I don't have a fancy phone...what is your icon?

8:11 am

uusue2

I am not much on sports myself, but the physics is interesting :-)

8:11 am

Scrabbler

That's part of becoming a responsible adult--creating a balanced pie chart.

8:11 am

crosshair

what shall i make for 10 starving women??...lets see3 jumbo farm eggs each so that is 33 eggs..i shall scramble them in a hot buttered pan and add some slivers of smoked ham,some diced sweet valencia onions and just before they hit the plate i shall shread some 5 year old quebec apple wood smoked cheddar,then some nice peameal bacon slices and a mound of english muffins with apple jelly or 3 fruit marmalade,then to wash it all down some earl grey tea or maybe a nice frosty glass of no pulp oj

8:11 am

Flask1

Good afternoon all.....hope we are all well n happy!!
Is the grid friendly today?

8:11 am

uusue2

I've already been looking for books - there are a lot on individual sports but I want a more general one

8:12 am

car.eeyore

<---- drooooooooool

8:12 am

car.eeyore

Hi Pinny! Hi Ruby!

8:12 am

Scrabbler

All good for me except the meat, Crossy, so that means more for everyone else. And I like pulpy OJ--I like to chew my OJ, haha.

8:12 am

rubyfoo

8:12 am

uusue2

8:12 am

8:12 am

car.eeyore

Severe haircut...do you like the haircut?

8:13 am

8:13 am

PinnyPoppins

8:13 am

PinnyPoppins

8:13 am

uusue2

I'll take the Earl Grey - never did grow up when it comes to pulpy orange juice

8:13 am

PinnyPoppins

I mean 'oops'

8:13 am

crosshair

not to worry scrabby i can make you some sans muscle and flesh lol

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Doesn't work for me, Pinny.

8:13 am

Flask1

Crossy, if there's enough for me too, I'll take it as it comes...and thankyou!!!

8:13 am

herinfernallady

Hi anyone I missed too

8:13 am

crosshair

i said no pulp..hate the pulp myself

8:13 am

uusue2

hi, ruby, now you can be like those French women who always wear scarves - I think it's a genetic talent, I could never do anything with them

8:13 am

bobmcc

phooey no pharohs..As a long time and very VERY mediocre player i've run into a number of articles over the years on the physics of tennis. Didn't help my game any.

8:14 am

Scrabbler

I don't know anyone that likes pulp.

8:14 am

Scrabbler

hi bob

8:14 am

car.eeyore

Me either Sue! I am a scarft NERD!

8:14 am

herinfernallady

I do Scrabbler

8:14 am

herinfernallady

BRB need to get tea and toast

8:14 am

uusue2

Yeah, I read a book on the physics of golf, and it didn't do me any good either (of course I had only ever played one round). Was interesting, though.

8:14 am

car.eeyore

Does anyone have a clue for the i?

8:15 am

crosshair

you see it all the time in the stores..i ahve always wondered who buys it scrabby

8:15 am

Scrabbler

sue--you can create a fascinating course by discussing the mechanics of each sport. Vector forces, trajectories, body motion, etc.

8:15 am

Scrabbler

I bought some yesterday, Crossy.

8:15 am

rubyfoo

that's, aham, 11 starving women, crossy

8:15 am

car.eeyore

Teach a scarf tying / styling course instead!

8:15 am

uusue2

yes, that was my plan, scrabs

8:16 am

uusue2

I do have a book on the physics of the human body

8:16 am

crosshair

the art(or insanity) of golf and physics are kissing cousins at best,not only is it a good walk spoiled,the game seems to be bonded with murphys set of laws

8:16 am

rubyfoo

when I had chemo, I was very adept at scarves but I gave them all away to another woman who needed them after my hair came back

8:16 am

Scrabbler

And swimming will teach hydrodynamics!

8:16 am

Flask1

Sue there's a book calledball games for women written by Sue Mott......am featured in it!!!

8:16 am

Scrabbler

funny Crossy

8:16 am

car.eeyore

Wow! Great Flask!

8:17 am

crosshair

lol ruby,during my chemo,i wore a bunch of those biker head scarves

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Cool, Flask

8:17 am

rubyfoo

I bought a fancy wig, but it looked ridiculous; my head disappeared

8:17 am

crosshair

i never even considered a wig

8:18 am

rubyfoo

I had to cover my head because I was working through the whole ordeal

8:18 am

Flask1

ok lets see how long I take to get nbt/nbs....

8:18 am

rubyfoo

even travelled to see customers

8:19 am

crosshair

not that it mattered during treatments,everyone around me was bald,when allowed home for the weekend at the end of the first month a biker head scarf was fine..as i was not too fashion concious anyways with my head in the toilet 20 out of 24 hours:/

8:19 am

Flask1

8:19 am

Flask1

secs

8:19 am

bobmcc

as a reasonably OK swimmer it WAS discouraging to realize that being tall/long was an advantage above and beyond being that much closer to the end...And over the decades i've gotten sig. shorter..sigh.

8:19 am

car.eeyore

Special hugs to all of you who have fought cancer {{hug}} You are amazing!

8:19 am

Flask1

8:20 am

crosshair

8:21 am

Scrabbler

There are now some effective anti-nausea meds, crossy.

8:21 am

rubyfoo

the only thing that sickened me was gin, so no martinis during that period

8:21 am

rubyfoo

they added atavan to my drip at my request and maybe that's why I wasn't sick

8:22 am

uusue2

ok, have words from more than half the tiles (which means I still have 7 blank ones), time to go to work!

8:22 am

crosshair

lol ruby,there is a cancer diet joke in that while undergoing cheom,you can eat all the junk food you wish...(as you wish none of it)

8:22 am

8:25 am

Honestly, Scrabbler, the doctors never seemed to put a name on it.

8:25 am

8:26 am

car.eeyore

Oh Crossy...that is horrible.

8:26 am

Scrabbler

I wonder why, car?

8:26 am

The world of pediatric oncology is a frightening one, although now about 80% of kids get cured. The process of getting cured is hard for parents to observe. Kids are quite resilient.

8:30 am

crosshair

making up stories and planning a childs fun times for "when she gets out" when you know from the nurse she has brain cancer and some tumor lodged in the centre of her brain the size of a lemon and she smiles up at you as the all knowing adult..brb..must make tea...

I really can't handle the thought of sick children. When I was pregnant, I was taking a CPR course. When it came time to do the child portion, I kind of flipped out just thinking of a child in such a severe position.

8:33 am

Scrabbler

I truly have PTSD from my experiences over the years--dying kids, death, etc.

8:33 am

Hey babblers! This is wildcat17. I'm starting a collection for MrP, similar to the one we all did for Jellen last year. I'm using the same website, ChipIn, for donations. Once I have a reasonable amount I will purchase a Visa gift card and send everything to MrP. I know there have to be others out there like myself, who want to do something to help. Any amount is welcome. Please spread the word to other babblers. The link is here and in my babble profile. Thank you!!! wildcat aka Lisa

8:59 am

Judi

"ARGH" is so a word. We use it all the time here.

8:59 am

uusue2

ah, it wants me to use paypal if I have an account

9:00 am

crosshair

9:01 am

crosshair

dammit

9:01 am

Boobear

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Boo, a way to pay $ while on line, instead of cedit card

9:02 am

Boobear

crosshair

9:04 am

uusue2

9:04 am

crosshair

9:05 am

Scrabbler

I will not use Paypal but I can mail a check/checque to Featherbee.

9:05 am

crosshair

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Scrabbler

Scrabbler

9:10 am

Judi

I'm at the point where I need another cup of coffee.

9:11 am

Scrabbler

104/102 so I must get ready for my daytrip to Canada. Bye kids. Enjoy the day!

9:11 am

uusue2

9:11 am

uusue2

bye, scrabs! Have a great day!

9:11 am

hurshy

i just learned about the Ig Nobel prizes

9:11 am

Scrabbler

Sue, I cannot even comprehend the size of the Grand Canyon let alone an expanding universe!

9:11 am

Judi

Yeah, sue. They've prooved "The Big Zoom" theory. *covers head and waits for raining tomatoes*

9:12 am

uusue2

The Ig Nobel prizes are VERY funny.

9:12 am

hurshy

the Ig Nobel prizes are given to research that makes you laugh and then makes you think

9:12 am

uusue2

and I can't really comprehend the size of the universe either but it is fun to try

9:12 am

ivesy3

ga 6/27 plz

9:12 am

hurshy

a yale psych guy just got one for showing that having to pee really badly makes it hard to think. well i could have told you that. it's apparently equivalent to being drunk or sleep-deprived.

9:13 am

uusue2

I saw that, hurshy :-)

9:13 am

Judi

Phhfth. Makes you think how much money was wasted on that "duh" research.

9:13 am

hurshy

it also mentioned a previous one that i appreciated - cows who have names give more milk than cows who don't.

9:14 am

uusue2

ack - i am getting so involved in the chat that I am forgetting to put my lecture on my thumb drive - cut it out, you guys!

Riverdance

Hi crossy. The grass is greening nicely as if it never was wheat color a week ago.

7:31 pm

crosshair

howdy stidmere,we have had frost 3 times now:/

7:32 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidgmere! How are you doing? Welcome to grid.

7:32 pm

stidgmere

We are behind you in the frost category. Our middle-of-the-road weather has seemed pretty good when compared across the U.S.

7:32 pm

crosshair

but yes is it wonderfully green..for the moment

7:33 pm

Eva

hi everyone. visiting for a little while before sleep

7:33 pm

crosshair

what is nice is we are having sunny highs of 55 or 60f and the maples are bursting with fall colours,the umber and oranges and reds and the air is so crisp and clear in the morning you can stand on top of blue mtn,look out over the bay and almost see forever

7:33 pm

crosshair

howdy eva

7:34 pm

Eva

colors are still very muted here

7:34 pm

stidgmere

Hi Eva.

7:34 pm

stidgmere

I can see and feel the morning view as you describe it, Crossy.

7:36 pm

crosshair

stid mere you would love it,the crisp morning breeze bringing out the roses in your cheeks and you just need a nice cable knit sweater for the dawn as the sun breaks and the fog slowly comes of the hill and the panoramic view opens before you and the falling leaves dance around you and on the wind you can smell our apples being harvested in the farms below you

7:38 pm

stidgmere

We harvested (well, picked) the apples from our two trees this week. I've made an apple pie and apple sauce. I also found a good recipe for pear crumble. We are so blessed with bountiful crops.

7:38 pm

crosshair

the air so clean and crisp as you take it in,you can almost feel it energizing you for the day

7:38 pm

Minveryork

Hello Eva! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

7:39 pm

we have a hybrid variety here called goldencrisp..they are a wonder..1 apple=1 pie!

7:39 pm

7:40 pm

Eva

hi Min...thank you. Serpentine just seemed too crowded and speedy tonight so I came back home to nice leisurely babble

7:40 pm

crosshair

mmmm@ pear crumble...

7:40 pm

Eva

mmmm -any kind of crumble

7:40 pm

stidgmere

I need several apples to make a pie. I've a Queen Cox very small tree and a Dutch apple that I can never remember the name because it starts with a K but then goes all wobbly in my mind.

7:40 pm

crosshair

wb eva,some days babble feels like a nice pair of slippers and a comfy chair:)

7:41 pm

Eva

yes indeed

7:41 pm

stidgmere

We contemplated a fire in the fireplace but it isn't really cool enough for that.

7:42 pm

crosshair

do you do the pies dutch style then,with the crumble on top?

7:42 pm

crosshair

crossy loves those

7:42 pm

Eva

had to make a fire here today-or turn on the heat and really too early for that!

7:42 pm

Minveryork

I ar 5/10 out of bed early this morning and put my no 4/4 to the grid. It took me ae5/10 amount of time to find 159 words. Was not able to babble with great ea 4/4 today so I gave up.Now here's a story of clues to sh 5/12 with you. When I was little, I went through a ph5/14 where I was in love with John Travolta.My Gr 4/6dmother took me to see the film "Gr 6/24" during the Winter se6/18. The movie was my favorite movie It has been eo 4/4 since I saw the film but I have not er5/10 lines from the film, which I memorized. When I was little, I would co4/6 home and watch the movie after school. Everytime I watched the movie,I sa4/6 all the songs along w/Travolta.My sister would ha4/7 her head,cover her ea4/4 and gr5/14 as she listened to me sing all of the so 4/6s, but I did not care at all. I also loved listening to the musical sc5/12 of the film Actually,I spent a gr5/14 amount of time staring at a John Travolta poster in my bedroom. I would say "I'm going to marry you so4/5 day Mr. Travolta".Husband who always di4/5es Babble,is being a big ar4/4 and lo 4/6s to use this laptop. It ce5/12s to amaze me how he always co5/14 into this office & wants this laptop shortly after I start chatting in the chog. It bothers me to the co4/5 of my being. Wish I could sh 4/6 him out to sea. I know that he has no good re6/18 to use computer. He wants to play Farmville. If I don't lo4/4 it to him, he will lo 4/4 his temper and get li 5/18. He lo 5/10 his temper and gets me 4/5 everytime I don't give him the computer. I'm at a lo4/4 for words when husband begins screaming and yelling. His nasty tone makes me sh4/8er. I'll give it to him. I do not want to make a me 4/5 of things. I am going to go wash some di 4/6es. Then I'm going to go watch the film "Lo6/24 Run".Then I'm going to goto bed and hopefully sn5/10 so loud it keeps my husband awake all night.Goodnite!

7:42 pm

stidgmere

No, I just make a regular crust on the top of the apples but you are inspiring me, Crossy. Why not says I?

7:42 pm

crosshair

ty for the wonderfull story min:)

7:43 pm

crosshair

indeed stidmere!

7:43 pm

crosshair

dutch apples shhould have a dutch style topping says i:)

7:44 pm

crosshair

and while still warm and on the plate,a single scoop of top end french vanillia ice cream or a small wedge of wendslydale cheese

7:45 pm

crosshair

or some other nice sharp cheddar

7:45 pm

stidgmere

We certainly can do the ice cream but the wendeslydale cheese is new. Is it a cheddar?

7:45 pm

stidgmere

You answered my question already crossy.

7:46 pm

7:48 pm

crosshair

we have a lovely custom cheese shoppe here called dags and willows

7:50 pm

Eva

wonderful story min!

7:50 pm

crosshair

when you reach this level of cheese insanity,you go to shops like this and the small weges are astounding in price,but amazing in quality and the art of removing a wedge from the main cheese wheel becomes an event lol

7:51 pm

Eva

stop already! You're making e ravenous.

7:52 pm

crosshair

you sneak this home like a guilty illegal drug and lock yourself in your room with some crackers,a glass of vino and one of those wooden cheese knifes so you do not insult the cheese with a metal implement

7:52 pm

Eva

I really love double Gloucester with chives

7:52 pm

Eva

we do have some incredible cheddar here in vermont

7:52 pm

crosshair

ahh a real soft cheese

7:53 pm

joey

crossy? a woodeb cheese knife? I never heard of one of those

7:53 pm

crosshair

vermont cheddar is known here also eva

7:53 pm

crosshair

joey,you can actually order glass knives now

7:54 pm

crosshair

they are made of white glass and hold a sharper rdge than any metal

7:54 pm

crosshair

edge

7:54 pm

joey

I have seen glass knives. Just never a wooden one. Wooden spoons, yes. wow - so muh I don't know

7:54 pm

crosshair

let me get u a link

7:54 pm

onyx

all this talk of food and cheese! I'm off to the gym!

7:54 pm

crosshair

yes,wooden knife just for cheese

7:54 pm

Eva

how can you tell the difference between a bad cough with cold and pneumonia?

7:55 pm

onyx

night sweats

7:55 pm

stidgmere

I shall buy a new mouse. Maybe I'll just get a nice wedge of cheese and entice a mouse to my computer. Nothing too fancy though. Rats!

7:55 pm

joey

you can cure pneumonia. lol

7:55 pm

jesdraggon

radiographs, eva

7:55 pm

crosshair

with pneumonia,you feel like you are breathing through a straw for one thing

7:55 pm

onyx

had pneumonia last year never been that sick before

7:56 pm

jesdraggon

sometimes, joey. sometimes not--pneumonia kills a lot of people

7:56 pm

crosshair

and if you are not sure get it looked into,ignored pneumonia can scar the lungs

7:56 pm

stidgmere

Well, time to pull the potatoes and dinner from their pots. Take care of yourselves and enjoy the Babble companions.

7:56 pm

crosshair

tc stidmere

7:56 pm

Eva

good answers! My brother who is a doctor has been nudging me to get the pneumonia vaccine since I am over 60.

7:56 pm

jesdraggon

enjoy supper, stidgmere

7:57 pm

Eva

I think this is more like bronchitis.

7:57 pm

gapeach

Thanks for the story, Min. I got several words from it.

7:57 pm

onyx

i got it and im not over 60. never want to be that sick again. it gets worse at night

7:57 pm

snags

it hurts to breath especially in your upper back.

7:58 pm

Eva

I don't seem to be wheezing too much-just attacks of wrenching coughing. This too shall pass

7:58 pm

joey

I didn't know that jesdraggon. thanks for the info - but no thanks for ruining a wive's tale . lol

7:59 pm

Eva

yes-my brother said that shingles (the other recommended vaccine) will just make you feel like killing yourself, but pneumonia really can

7:59 pm

jesdraggon

i'm not much fun, joey, sorry. always bursting bubbles :)

7:59 pm

joey

hope I didn't upset you - it was all in fun from my side

7:59 pm

jesdraggon

if in doubt, eva, get chest rads. much less expensive than hospital stays for pneumonia

8:00 pm

gapeach

I'm sure dinner will be delicoud

8:00 pm

8:00 pm

8:04 pm

Eva

I can breath fine when I'm not choking so I think I'm fine

8:04 pm

jesdraggon

how're you?

8:04 pm

onyx

I adore the writer Steig but i don't think i would watch the movie 3 times

8:04 pm

gapeach

Oh, good for you!

8:04 pm

Eva

so crossie the colors are intense up there this year?

8:06 pm

crosshair

very intense eva,we had our first frost early

8:07 pm

gapeach

Jes, I didn't get up until 3:00PM....I have my days and night turned around. It was a beautiful day. I've had this problem for several years now. Other that allergies and sinus problems I'm OK.

8:07 pm

Eva

there was frost in some of the valleys a couple of weeks ago but not here. They said that with all the water (to say the least) we'd have great foliage, but so far not that intense. But we're not at peak yet.

8:08 pm

Eva

I'm not sure though that they weren't just trying to get the tourists to come to make up for all the destruction and loss

8:08 pm

jesdraggon

sleeping in would be nice, peach. in the name of better health, bruce and i have started getting up an hour earlier and working out.

8:08 pm

gapeach

That is great, jes.

8:10 pm

jesdraggon

neither of us is a morning person, so at night, we apologize to each other in advance for our attitude tomorrow.

8:10 pm

Eva

gap-you and I barely overlap. I woke up at 3:45 this morning.

8:10 pm

gapeach

HA HA! Good one, jes.

8:11 pm

gapeach

Did you take a nap this afternoon, Eva?

8:12 pm

Eva

no-can't nap wish I could.

8:13 pm

Eva

waiting now for benadryl to take effect so I can sleep

8:13 pm

gapeach

I hope you can sleep a full 8 hours or so.

8:13 pm

Eva

do you live somewhere peachy and warm gap?

8:13 pm

Shirlockc

a friend just found out his new puppy had a litter mate with parvo

8:14 pm

jesdraggon

how long has he had the pup, shirlock?

8:14 pm

Shirlockc

one weekend :(

8:15 pm

gapeach

Yes, Eva, I live in GA. The winters are wonderful but the summers are wicked. Most people just go from one airconditioned place to another.

8:16 pm

Eva

sounds lovely right now peach- as it is rainy and chilly here, but the summer would do me in for sure

8:16 pm

jesdraggon

don't suppose the pups had been separated before that? incubation is 3 - 10 days, so if they were just separated, your friend's pup is probably exposed too.

8:16 pm

Shirlockc

that's the fear

8:16 pm

Eva

is parvo treatable?

8:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i come to babble babble, not to praise him. dive!

8:17 pm

Shirlockc

puppy started vomiting today

8:17 pm

jesdraggon

yes, eva; sort of. no direct anti-viral medication, but with supportive care and covering for secondary bacterial infections, get pretty good survival rate

8:17 pm

gapeach

I lived in CT for 7 years (I had a couple of strokes in 2002), my youngest daughter came and took me back to CT with her. She has a friend that is a teacher in Chicago who comes to visit every year and they go to Vermont for a couple of weeks. They say it is a beautiful state.

8:18 pm

jesdraggon

unless they wait until the dog is damn near dead to bring it to a vet.

8:19 pm

Eva

It is very beautiful, but not very much sunlight which is wearing in the winter. It sounds like you are doing well now peach?

8:19 pm

Shirlockc

he's taking the pup to the vet tomorrw

8:21 pm

gapeach

I am much happier here, that's for sure. I made some great friends when I lived here before. I'm going to try to walk with my crutches (my sticks), the strokes left me with vertigo and I'll have to get some physical therapist to help me keep my balance.

8:22 pm

jesdraggon

not a lot to do if it's not showing signs though. how old is it, and has it been vaccinated?

8:23 pm

Eva

vertigo is a real challenge peach, but it's heartening to hear that you have come through all of that being able to say that you are happy (er).

8:26 pm

gapeach

Yes, it is, Eva.....there are days when everything goes well....I have to wait for a good day before driving.

8:26 pm

9:49 pm

Patxxx

TY Minveryork but have just logged out to see if that would help but no. I will wait but any help with the topline I would be much appreciated. Not usually up at 3.45 but have had a steroid injection and am wide awake - didn't help in the brain department.

Minver that reads wrongly. I'm stuck for the letter I - second on the topline.

Hi Nef, I fell over a high 300yrs old kerb, broke my wirist, rearranged my face against a stone wall. The look would have been perfect for Halloween cos it really scared the kids. I was on hol for a week at my daughters and my husband says I'm not leaving the house again, a joke of course but I am now lacking my usual confidence. Plus today I had an Xray to check if I also broke rib/s!!!

10:16 pm

O Pat :(

Hi Min. Tomorrow is Aunty's memorial (funeral); and once that is done I'll be much better I think

10:20 pm

Minveryork

Patxxx,sorry to hear about your troubles.You should come out of lurkdom more often. We really don't bite.

10:21 pm

Nef

Aunty was sure that that is what she did! (she did it the night before Aunty died)

10:21 pm

Minveryork

I hope you have a nice ceremony for you Aunt. Those things are always hard.I had one recently I attended.

10:21 pm

Patxxx

You lot must be super-intelligent. If I chat then I can't do the grid. If I use the list I need a week to finish. Must be me. I now return to the grid but I read chat and also look for clues. Still can't access lickety's but don't mind.

firefly!!!! **sparkly smile*

10:39 pm

stidmama

my feet hurt, jellen ... NEED gel insert for under my toes!

10:41 pm

Nef

you will love them, stid. I used them for a long time when I worked at the bedside; but occasionally they would leak!

10:41 pm

stidmama

rofl... then at least my toes won't be too hot!

10:42 pm

stidmama

I intended to sit down more... but with kids I didn't know, I just felt I needed to be up and monitoring their work a little more.

10:42 pm

Nef

they do stain your socks shoes and toes though!

10:43 pm

stidmama

oh well... I wear black shoes and boots mostly. Easier to put new polish on to hide stains and scuffs.

10:44 pm

Nef

Being on your feet is a good thing, stid. I don't ever think substutue teachers ever sat down when I was in school

10:44 pm

stidmama

so far, I am not working tomorrow -- so I might wander in to town at some point and get something like that.

10:44 pm

firefly779

i think "garsh" sounds like a word, don't you? :)

10:45 pm

Nef

(I was raised by my Aunt who was County Sup''t of Schools; so maybe that made a difference!)

10:45 pm

stidmama

Kids need to not know exactly where you are, so they keep thinking you might be standing "right there" to catch them off guard.

10:45 pm

Jellen

*taking notes*

10:46 pm

stidmama

I think it IS a word, firefly, at least in some dialects!

10:46 pm

Jellen

I have an appointment with the department head tomorrow afternoon...I will be teaching at least one night class next semester!

10:46 pm

firefly779

thanks stiddy - i mean, i'm pretty sure Goofy uses it...

10:47 pm

Nef

I want to know why "plog" isn't a word!

10:47 pm

stidmama

Jellen -- COMFY shoes, clothes that don't need dry cleaning and are easy to get dry-erase marker out of... and that don't gap. I wear turtlenecks or a shell under every shirt just to be on the safe side.

10:47 pm

firefly779

i tried that one myself Nef ;)

10:47 pm

Nef

Woo- Hoo, Jellen

10:47 pm

stidmama

that is SO COOL, Jellen!

10:48 pm

Jellen

Oh, I have comfy shoes with orthopedic insoles, lol...

10:49 pm

Jellen

I may need to invest in some slacks, though...I'm a jeans wearer normally...

10:50 pm

stidmama

there are some very comfortable slacks I got from Coldwater Creek that are zipperless and pocketless. Don't know about you, but if I have pockets I use them -- and THESE hips don't need extra baggage!

10:50 pm

stidmama

They are comfortable, though.

10:51 pm

Nef

I swore by the J.C. Penneys' Worthington slacks myself, Jellen. I bought 2 pairs at a consignment shop and wore them pretty much continually for 3 years for work and they still look nearly brand new

10:53 pm

stidmama

When I find something I like, I try to buy several pairs/sets right away. Inevitably, the things I like are the ones that get discontinued... *sigh*

10:54 pm

Jellen

I have to have tall sizes, which limits my selection...

10:55 pm

Nef

stid, do they have elastic waists or what? No zippers are good; but elastic waists aren't always the best for me (I'm more of the apple shape myself; my hips are okay

10:55 pm

Jellen

Eddie Bauer usually fits, though...

10:56 pm

stidmama

They have elastic waist but it doesn't buckle and are a knit, but they look more like a nice solid twill.

10:56 pm

Nef

I like some Eddie Bauer; others just don't work for me

10:57 pm

stidmama

LOL Jellen -- I need "short" pants for them to fit. Regular sizes generally need to lose the bottom four inches!

10:57 pm

Jellen

Ooh, just found corduroy slacks on sale for $35!

10:58 pm

stidmama

wow, I am tired... I meant the waistline lies flat, doesn't look like a traditional cased elastic waistline.

10:58 pm

stidmama

Jellen, you are an AMAZING shopper! LOL

10:59 pm

Nef

okay, stid now I got what you said! :-)

11:01 pm

jillibus

hello all -- here's the next icon theme

11:02 pm

jillibus

(refresh?)

11:02 pm

stidmama

so, I am driving the younger stidkid's girlfriend home. back tomorrow. ((((JILL)))) sorry I missed you.

*Poof*

11:02 pm

Nef

I think that there is such an amazing difference in womens' body shapes! I have a friend who has to buy a size 16 pants (to fit her hips and thighs) but then needs to take in the waist 4-5 inches!

11:03 pm

jillibus

Nef -- I'm the other way round -- big waist, no backside or hips, short legs where even Petites are too long.

11:05 pm

Nef

hi jilli. This is such a neat theme for tomorrow! Guess what?? Tomorrow is Aunty's memorial, and she was a "machine operator" and sewed clothes for 30+ years in the clothing industry!

11:05 pm

jillibus

So I get Lands' End Sport knits (with pockets and full elastic waists) in 10-12 Petite and may not have to shorten them much, but they're still baggy in the rear.

11:06 pm

jillibus

Oh Nef, that's great that we can respect her memory that way.

11:07 pm

Nef

jilli, I was born with a tummy and I still have it! ;-) I'm 5'4", and my butt and legs are normal sized, soÂ I always think of myself as an apple

11:08 pm

jillibus

I'd also like to thank mrp for her valiant attempts (so successful this time) to carry on the Lickety list.

11:08 pm

jillibus

Same here, nef!

11:08 pm

Jellen

I used to be well proportioned, but I've widened in the waist/tummy area...

11:09 pm

jillibus

I used to have a 24" waist, sigh.

11:09 pm

Nef

I just think that the theme for tomorrow is a wonderful coincidence! Thank you! :-) (BTW, I started sewing on a Singer treadle sewing machine with a long skinny bobbin, Than machine was my great grandmothers

11:09 pm

Jellen

Well, I'm excited about finding slacks on sale at Ann Taylor!

Wish you could find a [picture of it, nef -- but I realise you don't change your icon.

11:10 pm

Jellen

I have an early 1950s "portable" Singer...

11:10 pm

jillibus

no Ann Taylor here...

11:11 pm

Jellen

Online, jilli...It's the only way I can find tall sizes...

11:11 pm

jillibus

Jellen, my portalbe was 1948-ish. For years before that I made things by hand

11:12 pm

Nef

now that I'm retired, I've promised myself that I'd trey switching my icon. But I have to get through tomorrow first....

11:12 pm

Jellen

Yes, Nef...

11:13 pm

jillibus

Jellen -- here I am, 5"3Â½, and I did advertising art and text (funny rhymes)for The Tall Shop in Montreal for several years

Just wondering if anyone could clue the di 7, 40. It's my last word and I can't figure it out. TY

11:18 pm

Nef

jilli! I found the machine! It was a Singer 1898 model 27, sometimes called a Sphinx (because of the art work on it, maybe?)

11:19 pm

Nef

hi Read- Di 7/40 is *sort of* two-sided electricity

11:20 pm

jillibus

di7/40 -- di + the moon goes through several changes called ph5s

11:21 pm

jillibus

Nef, save it to you My Pictures or whatever you use if it's a Mac

11:21 pm

Read-Knit-Bake

ty to both.

11:22 pm

jillibus

yw RKB

11:23 pm

Nef

then what, Jilli?

11:24 pm

jillibus

Go to your My Account, and click on Edit under your icon

11:26 pm

jillibus

that's My Account here

11:29 pm

Nef

okay, I think I did that. I'll refresh and soo if it worked

11:29 pm

jillibus

Then click on Browse, and find your sewing machine, then click on Open. When the path shows up in the box, click on Upload. When a red line shows up saying that was successful, close Babble and re-open it. The new icon should appear.

11:30 pm

Nef

It worked! :-) Thank you, jilli!

11:30 pm

jillibus

oops

11:31 pm

jillibus

Hooray, nef!!! Everyone refresh to see Nef's new icon!

11:31 pm

jillibus

See how easy it is?

11:31 pm

Jellen

Yay, Nef!

11:33 pm

jillibus

Now, nef, it would be good if you could put a little story about that machine in your profile :-)

11:33 pm

Nef

Can you see how pretty that machine is? I remember tracing the sphinx decal just because it looked so neat (maybe that is why I'm fascinated with Egyptian history?)

11:33 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for di7-44? Thanks

11:34 pm

Nef

<snicker> Jilli; are you trying to change e? ;-)

11:34 pm

Nef

that was change ME!

11:35 pm

Nef

I'll try, Jilli.

11:37 pm

jillibus

Never, nef!

11:38 pm

jillibus

But funnily enough, nef, although I can see your sewing machine when I click on your icon, your blue-haired self persists in the chog even though I've closed down Babble and opened it again twice. Let's see what happens after the flip.

11:39 pm

Jellen

di 7 is something you wipe a plate with

11:39 pm

jillibus

di7/44 -- what you wash plates with by hand

11:40 pm

jillibus

hi jellen

11:40 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Jellen and Jillibus.

11:40 pm

Nef

I'll probably never get that blue hair back again, Jilli.. :-/

11:40 pm

jillibus

But it's still here, nef!

11:41 pm

Nef

not for me, Jilli!

11:41 pm

jillibus

Where did it come from, nef?

11:41 pm

negativeneil

Blue hair?

11:42 pm

jillibus

Nefs usual icon, neil -- what are you seeing for her?

11:42 pm

jillibus

and hi neil-the-blank

11:42 pm

Nef

how the heck do I know, Jilli. I've had the same icon since I started back in 2005

11:42 pm

Nef

hi neil

11:43 pm

negativeneil

Ummm, no. Not blank. Refresh the page?

11:43 pm

jillibus

It must have been saved somewhere, nef!

11:43 pm

negativeneil

And hi jilli... and Nef.

11:43 pm

negativeneil

Oh yes, the bird with blue feathers?

11:43 pm

Nef

that was 3 comuters ago, jilli

11:43 pm

negativeneil

I'm still seeing that icon in here... weird?

11:44 pm

Nef

bird????? with blue feathers?

11:44 pm

jillibus

now I see you properly, neil. Can you save Nef's blue hair for her?

11:44 pm

negativeneil

Ok, just refreshed and now Nef is a sewing machine.

11:44 pm

Jellen

I tried to change my icon, and it didn't take...

11:44 pm

negativeneil

Isn't it a bird? Couldn't see it large enough to tell?

11:45 pm

jillibus

Oh phooey.

11:45 pm

negativeneil

I thought it was a cartoon bird with blue feathers on its head?

11:45 pm

jillibus

Yes it did, Jellen!

11:45 pm

negativeneil

Hi Jellen. Well you're a sewing machine so it must have "taken"?

11:45 pm

Jellen

Oh, nevermind

11:45 pm

negativeneil

You do need to refresh this page after changing icons, to see the new one.

11:45 pm

negativeneil

You do need to refresh this page after changing icons, to see the new one.

11:46 pm

jillibus

Neil, I have to do more than that -- have to shut down Babble and open up again

11:46 pm

negativeneil

Weird?

11:47 pm

negativeneil

I just refresh this page and it's there.

11:47 pm

negativeneil

I just refresh this page and it's there.

11:47 pm

negativeneil

Uh, twice even? :P Now how did that happen?

11:47 pm

Nef

wow, jilli. Even I don't have to do that on my mac

11:47 pm

jillibus

What browser are you using, neil?

11:47 pm

negativeneil

didn't mean to post in duplicate!

11:47 pm

negativeneil

didn't mean to post in duplicate!

11:48 pm

jillibus

and you did it again, neil -- weird is reight

11:48 pm

Nef

stuttering fingers, neil?

11:48 pm

negativeneil

Damn. It didn't appear to have worked the first time, so I hit "Enter" again.

11:48 pm

negativeneil

Uh, no.

11:48 pm

negativeneil

And right now I'm using Google Chrome... but it works the same in this or Mozilla Firefox.

11:48 pm

Nef

see, jilli; it's cuz my icon changed! ;-)

11:50 pm

jillibus

Nef, I saved your little blue-haired icon as a .gif -- could email it to you if I had your address -- mine is at the bottom of my profile

11:51 pm

jillibus

neil -- I prefer Friefox but Babble defaults to IE for some reason. How can I change that? (email me?)

11:51 pm

Jellen

I am weakening...

11:51 pm

jillibus

IE is being VERY slow

11:52 pm

Jellen

There is a 13 year old terrier who needs a home because her owner's apartment complex changed its animal policy...see the first pic in my profile...

11:53 pm

Nef

jilli, I'll email my addy it to you

11:53 pm

jillibus

Aww, Jellen -- poor little guy.

11:54 pm

jillibus

Thanks, nef

11:55 pm

Jellen

Maybe I'll volunteer to foster for a while...if I go back to school, it will be really hard to have an inside dog...

11:57 pm

jillibus

Jellen, Is she used to spending a while sleeping alone? She is an old girl, after all.

11:57 pm

Nef

jilli, email sent.

11:57 pm

jillibus

How many hours would you be away from home?

11:57 pm

Jellen

I don't know much about her...

11:57 pm

jillibus

Thanks, nef.

11:57 pm

Nef

Jellen, that dog has such a sad face; what a aweetie!

11:57 pm
