12:36 am

VolleymomDee

I'll second mrp's idea

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

how absolutely fantastic!

12:44 am

mrpresident

lickety is working his arse off to pack the house whilst I sit here and babble... best thing I could do for the moment... he can pick up some pieces for now.

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

what a relief for you

12:45 am

snags

will your children have to change schools?

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

how is he doing?

12:45 am

mrpresident

hi snags :)
No... we are moving into a lovely house down the end of a very long road in the area, don't have to go past Pricks, Dicks or Moles...

12:46 am

snags

that truly is good news

12:46 am

mrpresident

he is moving forward slowly... going to AA and hating himself for now. More help and therapy will help us all move forward.

12:47 am

rururocks

wow.. weird fauna in australia mr p

12:47 am

mrpresident

It is very difficult on him, cause he left a family and came back to three individuals all with different reasons for being devastated. It will take time

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

it is a long, horrific road, but it will be worth it; I promise; lots of substance abuse on both sides of our families; have seen some incredible successes

12:47 am

dart001

they call it the PDM's

12:47 am

mrpresident

which fauna do you speak of ruuster??

12:47 am

snags

ru, where did your goat get his "TEETH"?

12:48 am

rururocks

it's a happy old goat

12:48 am

dart001

pricks dicks and moles

12:48 am

flosey

glad to hear things are moving along mrp, well done - you stuck it out so bravely

12:48 am

mrpresident

thank you dee... I am realising that now... and I want us to be good again. Love doesn't die, but sometimes the caring part can be unpredicatable.

12:49 am

cybernan

didn't realize lickety was back at home already -- that must be a sign for the good :)

12:49 am

rururocks

he needs to find the person that you married mr p

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

totally true; promising to love someone forever doesn't mean that some of the journey doesn't suck..

12:50 am

dcseain

wow, the Js were easy

12:50 am

snags

we are pulling for you and lickety, and the kids as well.

12:52 am

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

dcseain

12:53 am

dcseain

and, mrp, all yall in my thoughts often. i wish you all the best in these difficult times.

12:53 am

mrpresident

oh thank you jilli!! (((hugs)))... it sometimes seems like a futile situation, but at the same time, it is nothing to be let go of lightly.

12:53 am

jillibus

dc, that sounds like a great idea -- something else my hubby did after retiring, and at a diffucult time too.

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

ho 7 x 2

12:53 am

mrpresident

thank you dcs! (love you and wish the best for you sweetness)

12:54 am

dcseain

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

you can come sell our house dc anytime :)

12:54 am

dcseain

and, as i learn more, i'm sure i can do the job well.

12:54 am

jillibus

I did post the theme icon (a fun one) if anybody cares.

12:54 am

dcseain

LOL Dee, that is SUCH a lovely property.

12:55 am

dart001

any more news on that front volley?

12:55 am

mrpresident

oooh, will look at your profile for icon theme

12:55 am

dcseain

oooh, neat theme. Hmmm...

12:55 am

jillibus

dc, I'm sure you can be a great success at being a realtor.

12:55 am

mrpresident

i will keep my icon then! LOL

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

both of our offers have been accepted; next week inspections are scheduled; if no surprises appraisals will be next. We took ours off the market til after daughter's wedding.

12:56 am

dart001

great...when is the wedding again?

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

Then we will have to decide if we are going to relist or rent

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

12:57 am

dart001

cmon in...lots of us here

12:58 am

dcseain

aw shucks, mrp. Would that life were that easy :-)

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

if we buy the other house and lot, it may turn out to be a blessing ours hasn't sold... we would get to stay here until all of the work is finished there... just move once... so may be a hidden blessing there

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

I'll feel better about everything after the inspections are all done

12:59 am

rururocks

good idea de

12:59 am

jillibus

mrp -- you said your icon follows the theme -- not quite sure how -- pls explain

12:59 am

dart001

icame back and spent a few weeks fixing up the other one before we put it on the market....made it look a lot more saleable

12:59 am

mrpresident

dee! get in the hot tub! cleaned it out yesterday and stocked up on tequila!

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

ty ru

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

oh yum... had 2 margaritas earlier... not sure I can handle one more LOL

1:00 am

dart001

watch out for ruru's speedo though

1:00 am

mrpresident

jilli, the icon starts with letter of my name...

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

definitely doing hot tub

1:00 am

rururocks

*party girls*

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

LOL on the speedo

1:00 am

jillibus

dee's lovely house looks all fixed up and beautiful -- can't imagine why it hasn't sold

1:00 am

rururocks

I took off the speedo a long time ago dart

1:01 am

dart001

breaking mrp's rules?

1:01 am

jillibus

mrp, I guess so, but it looks like T for Tart -- what is it M for?

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

who knows jili... have a friend in similar situation and theirs has been on market 6 mos longer than ours. Thanks, jili. really sweet of you.

1:01 am

1:02 am

jillibus

woohoo! ruru took off the speedo! So he's all nekkid!

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

nekkid as a jaybird LOL haven't heard that phrase in ages...

1:02 am

mrpresident

ok, now that ruuster has broken the golden rule, he has to stand on his head in the corner and laugh like a kookaburra for 30 seconds!

1:03 am

rururocks

I just wanna be free mr p

1:03 am

dart001

how deep is the water?

1:03 am

jillibus

mrp am I supposed to know who that is in your icon?

1:03 am

mrpresident

Jilli, do you know who is in my icon?

1:03 am

rururocks

not deep enough

1:03 am

jillibus

No, mrp!

1:04 am

mrpresident

you can be free upside-down doing a kookaburra laugh! I got a certain young famous man to do that one in the hallway of his hotel!

1:05 am

mrpresident

jilli, have a guess... just a wild stab at it!

1:06 am

dcseain

ti4ing is Maryland's state sport, under the name Jousting.

1:06 am

dcseain

i'm in theme now too

1:06 am

jillibus

absolutely nobody I can think of matches your icon, mrp -- certainly not your Maddie, not Madonna, not Marilyn Monroe...

1:07 am

mrpresident

it is ME! in cognito, with my boobs hiked up to my chin! That is how I am going to dress now, wig and glasses... so my stalker doesn't recognise me!

1:07 am

jillibus

OMG, hilarious, mrp!!!!

1:08 am

mrpresident

LOL !!!!!

1:08 am

jillibus

And because the photo is somewhat spead instead of squished, you look short and plump, mrp!

1:09 am

jillibus

*spread

1:09 am

mrpresident

yeah! and my boobs look huge!!

1:09 am

rururocks

*crossed heart*

1:09 am

jillibus

S for Sinking, seain?

1:10 am

dcseain

quite. and B for boat, too

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

me 6 x 4

1:17 am

dcseain

huh. just noticed that wikipedia in spanish is libre not gratis, which puts 'free' in a new light for me on the English one

1:18 am

jillibus

not gratis?

1:18 am

dcseain

gratis -- free of charge. libre -- free to do; independent

1:19 am

jillibus

yes, but it's the not I wondered about -- wouldn't the Spanish be non?

1:19 am

dcseain

oh, and i bought a bunch of brussels sprouts tonight. How shall i cook them. I often roast, fry, or braise them.

1:20 am

dcseain

no, non is Italian

1:20 am

dcseain

oh! sorry, two Spanish words in English sentence. Libre no gratis would be the correct Spanish

1:21 am

jillibus

of course we in Quebec were sensitive to De Gaulle's gall in yelling " Vive le QuÃ©bec libre!"

1:21 am

mrpresident

i think this puzzle is slightly difficult!

1:21 am

jillibus

I didn't think "not" was Spanish

1:21 am

dcseain

today's? i agree, mrp

1:21 am

dart001

down to 35 and really slow now

1:21 am

dcseain

and you were correct, jilli :)

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

4here

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

41 not 4

1:22 am

jillibus

I agree, mrp, but then this isn't my best time of day (or night, I should say), especially after a whoopdedo at the neighbours'

1:22 am

mrpresident

on ya jilli!! party girl

1:23 am

dart001

jilli has been partying alot lately :)

1:23 am

dcseain

was that due to libre really meaning more independent than free in Englis in the context?

1:24 am

jillibus

We have a circulating Friday Happy Hour(s) here among 3 neighbour houses.

1:24 am

mrpresident

that is why I can't wait for her to come downunder and see me!

1:24 am

dcseain

very nice, jilli :)

1:24 am

dart001

isn't it friday everyday?

1:25 am

jillibus

dc, to les QuÃ©bÃ©cois at the time it meant free from Canada.

1:25 am

dcseain

There is a Le5 Rd near here, and a Le5 Rd School, which today is on Idylwild Rd, as Le5 Rd was realigned and truncated.

1:25 am

dcseain

ah, yes, that's what i was guessing, jilli, ty

1:25 am

mrpresident

oh, have to ask....! is daylight saving changing for you all soon??

1:26 am

mrpresident

cause I need to adjust some stuff for clues... otherwise it will try and solve 1 hour before again.

1:26 am

dart001

1:27 am

dart001

for me it is the 29th now...not so for jilli

1:27 am

dcseain

i do not reset my clocks, nor change my schedule though, as the 20 weeks a year we spend on "standard" time is stupid.

1:28 am

jillibus

I leave Vancouver on March 6 just before midnight and arrive in Sydney 15 Â½ hours later on March 8 at 11:30 am.

1:29 am

jillibus

I hate Standard time and its short dark afternoons.

1:29 am

dcseain

nifty, jilli.

1:29 am

dcseain

me too, jill

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

I third that

1:30 am

dart001

to get around that one...you will have to change the definition of noon ..sun being directly overhead

1:30 am

dart001

have to make it 1Pm

1:30 am

jillibus

I keep hearing people saying they hate Daylight Saving, but then it turns out they really mean Standard -- they don't know which is which, duh.

1:31 am

dcseain

i favor permanently changing the time zones to what we're all on right now.

1:31 am

dcseain

i want to be in gmt-4 year-round

1:31 am

cybernan

195 down and crashing -- only got half of the 7's and 8's, so have my work cut out for me tomorrow! Good night all -- didn't have much to say, but did enjoy reading the chat :)

1:31 am

jillibus

Me too -- but then there's Arizona and Saskatchewan and maybe others which stay on satndard year round.

1:31 am

dcseain

sweet dreams, nan

1:31 am

dcseain

and that's fine, they get that choice

1:32 am

jillibus

*Standard

1:32 am

mrpresident

ok, will make the changes to times on 8th nov, which is your 7th nov

1:32 am

dcseain

though, the Navajo Nation in AZ does observe DST

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

IN used to stay same til we got an idiot for a governor

1:33 am

jillibus

ok, mrp -- thanks so much.

1:33 am

jillibus

But dc, wouldn't gmt be Standard Time?

1:34 am

dart001

1:34 am

flosey

oops, just fell asleep, time to get to bed

1:34 am

flosey

goodnight all

1:34 am

dcseain

i did say gmt-4 GMT/UTC is a constant

1:34 am

dcseain

g'night flosey

1:34 am

jillibus

Then it's Satndard here, no?

1:34 am

jillibus

oh nm -- for me it's typo time, lol!

1:35 am

jillibus

lol, flosey -- I'll be glad when you get over jet lag!

1:36 am

dcseain

oh, freakishly, we're expecting snow tomorrow!

1:36 am

jillibus

I'll be heading for bed soo too -- getting nowhere with this grid and tomorrow is bridge afternoon so ...

1:36 am

jillibus

*soon

1:36 am

dcseain

i misunderstand what you're asking about the time, jilli.

1:37 am

jillibus

good grief, dc!

1:37 am

jillibus

so do I, dc, lol!

1:39 am

dcseain

:) US/CA 'standard' time zones are GMT-3.5, GMT-4, GMT-5, GMT-6, GMT-7, GMT-8, GMT-9, and GMT-10, named Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaskan, and Hawai'ian respectively. Subtract a number from each for DST, which is the actual 'standard' at this point.

1:39 am

1:40 am

vanillaslice

hi Dee do you have a small clue for that thx

1:40 am

mrpresident

we have only one state in this country that does not change daylight saving... and the reasons they gave was absolutely incredible and made the people of the state look absolutely friggin dumb

1:41 am

dart001

dcseain

WA is that, mrp?

1:41 am

mrpresident

Queensland dart

mrpresident

1:41 am

vanillaslice

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

to do something wrong is to _ _ _ + 2 letter greeting when you first see someone + abbreviation for northeast

1:41 am

vanillaslice

1:42 am

mrpresident

i don't blame you hunny... i blame the idiot dairy farmers

1:42 am

gortmold

you can't blame us queenslanders, we were ejumakated by cows

1:42 am

vanillaslice

maybe they wouldnt look so idiotic if you were one

1:42 am

dcseain

having a large number of dairy farmers in my family, they don't care what the time is. The cows get milked same time regardless the clock

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

made sense long ago when there was no electricity

1:42 am

dcseain

LOL gort

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

yw van

1:49 am

gortmold

he also points out that people say "no offence" just when they're about to be offensive, but dangit that yank was right!

1:50 am

dart001

i've seen that a few times...found it fairly early...usually miss the easy ones like aero and asea

1:50 am

vanillaslice

I think Queenslanders and West Australians have there feet on old soil and they want to stay there

1:50 am

mrpresident

old soil... hmmmm

1:50 am

vanillaslice

so when the old queen comes like today they go crazy

1:51 am

vanillaslice

so great to see

1:51 am

gortmold

or if they be ignorant hicks like me, they don't even know the kween is hear!

1:51 am

ditto that dart, especially asea for me

1:51 am

dcseain

DC Me5 now offers free transfers between Farragut West (Blue and Orange lines) and Farragut North (Red line) stations, with 30 minutes to reen5 for free.

1:52 am

dart001

lucky in this grid..no A-D's

1:52 am

mrpresident

no offense at all jilli! it is a typical reaction from NSW and VIC to queenslanders

1:52 am

vanillaslice

100 000 people having a aussie barbeque with the queen - not that she ate a sausage

1:53 am

vanillaslice

but they all loved it

1:53 am

vanillaslice

monarchy is alive and well here

1:53 am

jillibus

All of shich makes me want to see Queensland for myslef, but that will have to wait for my next life, I think. Meanwhile I'm delighting in the ones I meet here.

1:54 am

gortmold

the kween know no one in their right mind eats ozzie sossages, which proves mrp's point

1:54 am

vanillaslice

good on ya jilli

1:54 am

jillibus

Ach, fatigue is making me type crazy

1:54 am

mrpresident

jilli, we have to go to WA... will go see grannyrose! I so want to visit WA!

1:54 am

vanillaslice

the queen never eats other than her diet

1:55 am

vanillaslice

but she was magnificent

1:55 am

mrpresident

we had a farmhand that we made rice salad for... he sat there and ate it and it had sultanas in it... and he threw the sultanas away.
When asked if he didn't like sultanas, he looked stunned and said "I thought they were blow flies"!!

1:55 am

vanillaslice

who wants a president

1:55 am

jillibus

monarchy is alive and well with me too -- my early Brit life, of course. I remember the 25th Jubilee of King Geroge V and Queen Mary.

1:56 am

gortmold

Lol mrp that is awesome. Must have been my cuzzin Bruce

1:56 am

jillibus

mrp, I don't think we'll have the time (or money) for WA!

1:57 am

dcseain

LOL mrp. i love sultanas, which means white raisins here.

1:57 am

mrpresident

LOL! it was sooooo funny!!

1:57 am

vanillaslice

2:00 am

mrpresident

whooly dooly! she must have a great do!

2:00 am

jillibus

Pretty funny, dee!

2:00 am

VolleymomDee

hang on ... I'll try to upload one of their engagement photos.

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

I'm not sure what to do to unsquish the foto

2:05 am

jillibus

crop it square, dee

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

hang on and I'll try again

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

I think that is improved. Thanks, jili.

2:08 am

jillibus

nbt, lol!

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

wtg jili

2:09 am

mrpresident

on ya jilli!

2:09 am

jillibus

dee, still seeing the flower :-(

2:09 am

dart001

nice pic volley

2:09 am

jillibus

I'll try shutting down and reentering

2:10 am

mrpresident

that is sweet dee!

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

We were shocked. For their engagement session, they took over 160 pictures. Thanks, dart. Jili, I had to refresh twice here to see it.

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

The photographers had some great candid shots, which we really liked.

2:10 am

dart001

nowadays with the digital...why not...unless they had a film photog

2:10 am

jillibus

darn, I shut down and came back in -- still the flower. I'll try again.

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

ty mrp, she is the light of my life :)

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

Good question dart. I'll have to ask... out of curiousity. Fees per flic, however, still reflect old film pricing... rather ridiculous in my opinion.

2:13 am

dart001

i agree

2:13 am

VolleymomDee

And with photo shop and mspaint and publisher, editing certainly isn't as difficult either.

2:14 am

VolleymomDee

Actually I "snitched" a few photos from the photographers' blog by using print screen and then cropping them in mspaint.

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

I have a fabulous printer for my hubby's brochures and work and great flyer and photo paper, so when I print them, they look fantastic.

2:17 am

jillibus

Still seeing the flower, dee -- and so wanted to see your daughter! I've exited Babble twice and come back in...now what?

2:17 am

dart001

fireworks no list

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

wtg dart!

2:18 am

dart001

can you manually clear your cache?

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

jili, I'll leave and come back and see if that helps you

2:18 am

jillibus

I'll try going out og Expert and going to just plain Babble...

2:18 am

dart001

or shut down browser and reopen

2:18 am

jillibus

wowie, dart! Gj!

2:18 am

jillibus

dart that's what I've been doing.

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

did that help

2:20 am

dart001

yesterday to see mrp's pic....when i cleared the cache i could see her pic, but when i clicked on it it was the old one....when i closed the browser and came back, everything worked

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

I have had to do that before, too...not sure why it only happens occasionally.

2:20 am

jillibus

I see your gorgeous girl now, dee -- went out of Expert. Don't know which trick worked!

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

glad it did though!

2:21 am

jillibus

Back in Expert, it's still the flower. Oh well.

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

thank you.. she has become a lovely young woman - inside and out, so I think I'll keep her LOL. No more threats to send her to the foreign legion.

2:22 am

jillibus

That's a lovely picture of the pair, dee.

2:22 am

jillibus

I hope you like her fiance too, dee.

2:22 am

dart001

you were going to send her to Canada? :)

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

This is only one of many lovely shots. Others in color and in other settings... lovely celebration of their engagement.

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

We adore him.

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

Anywhere but home for a few years LOL

2:23 am

jillibus

tsk tsk dart.

2:23 am

jillibus

That's great, dee.

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

example - for her shower 2.5 hours south of here - hubby's mom didn't want to drive... Jason drove all the way up here and back just to take grandma to the shower... never complained once... I would not have done it.

2:24 am

dart001

jilli, if i didn't live here you know which country i would chose!

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

I agree with that dart.

2:25 am

jillibus

yes, dart -- Newfoundland, lol!

2:25 am

jillibus

(almost stayed out of Canada)

2:25 am

dart001

well, that was not part of Canada until 1949...

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

why, jili?

2:26 am

dart001

and it took 2 votes (which some disputed) to join Canada

2:26 am

jillibus

ask the Newfies, dee

2:27 am

jillibus

I meant Newfoundland almost stayed out of Canada

2:27 am

dart001

ask someone who was there before '49...and they will say they are a Newfoundlander first...Canadian second

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

awww

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

sounds like some of our southern states lol

2:28 am

dart001

they still fly 2 flags

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

what did you like about Newf., dart?

2:29 am

jillibus

I think they just cherished their independence -- don't think they were hostile to Canada -- am I right, dart?

2:30 am

dart001

and they have their Memorial Day on July 1st....(had it before they joined Canada)...and Canada Day is on the same day....sad day in NL celebration in rest of country

2:30 am

dart001

they are very independent and proud ( and friendly)

2:31 am

dart001

I like the music and the people there volley

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

interesting

2:31 am

jillibus

why are they sad on Canada day, dart?

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

folk music?

2:31 am

jillibus

Dee, they are very Irish

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

aww nice; I love that music, also.

2:33 am

dart001

that is their Memorial day to honour the dead from the World Wars...they had a proud regiment called the Blue Puttees...that was slaughtered and killed a lot of men...took a long time to recover..almost lost a generation of men

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

how tragic

2:34 am

jillibus

I see, dart -- not sad to have joined Canada -- sad because of the wars and rightly so.

2:34 am

dart001

literally decimated the population of late teens to early 30 yr olds on the island

2:35 am

jillibus

WW1 did that to several countries. War stinks.

2:35 am

VolleymomDee

what years was that, dart?

2:35 am

VolleymomDee

sure does

2:36 am

dart001

Canada just picked that day for Canada Day...they aren't mad at Canada.....just they had had that day for their memorial day for many years ...and still do

2:36 am

VolleymomDee

makes sense

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

nice photo dart

2:37 am

dart001

The Royal Newfoundland Regiment (R NFLD R) traces its origins to 1795, and since 1949 has been a militia or reserve unit of the Canadian Army. During the First World War the battalion-sized regiment was the only North American unit to fight in the Gallipoli campaign of 1915. Later in the war the regiment was virtually wiped out at Beaumont Hamel on July 1, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Since then July 1 has been marked as Memorial Day in Newfoundland and Labrador.

2:37 am

jillibus

glad they're not sad at joining Canada. I remember when it happened. I had only been Canadaina for about 2 years then.

2:38 am

jillibus

*Canadian

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

very interesting

2:38 am

dart001

hey that paste thing works better than me trying to 2 finger type the whole thing lol

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

2:39 am

jillibus

oh yes, copy and paste is great

2:40 am

dart001

they have a War Memorial that takes up a whole city block in St. John's dedicted to those troops

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

gotta tell ru he is bad luck... hubby is having problems with his knee.. has to go in on 11/15 to have it checked out :(

2:40 am

dart001

at least your's is doing something

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

pain got too intense for him and he is fearful if he screws around, he won't get to walk his baby down the aisle ... big incentive

2:41 am

jillibus

I wish ru had been here today -- saw a guy walking around who had his knee surgery last week -- used a cane and limped just a little.

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

I think he is going to try getting in sooner - hasn't slept for a few nights... is acting like a tear...

2:42 am

dart001

The National War Memorial in Downtown St. John's is the most elaborate of all the post World War I monuments in Newfoundland and Labrador. It was erected at King's Beach on Water Street where, in 1583, Sir Humphrey Gilbert claimed Newfoundland for England. It was formally unveiled on Memorial Day, July 1, 1924 by Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig. The term "National" refers to this monument being built by the Dominion of Newfoundland as a nation, before it became part of Canada.

2:42 am

VolleymomDee

for sure jili

2:42 am

dart001

tried to copy the picture in...didn't work

2:42 am

VolleymomDee

would be cool if the chat would allow photos

2:43 am

jillibus

no, we can't copy pix here.

2:43 am

jillibus

The chat is not HTML

2:43 am

VolleymomDee

Two recruiting sergeants came to the CLB,
for the sons of the merchants, to join the Blue Puttees
So all the hands enlisted, five hundred young men
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me

They crossed the broad Atlantic in the brave Florizel
And on the sands of Suvla, they entered into hell
And on those bloody beaches, the first of them fell
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me

So it's over the mountains, and over the sea
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees
You'll fight in Flanders, and at Galipoli
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me

Then the call came from London, for the last July drive
To the trenches with the regiment, prepare yourselves to die
The roll call next morning, just a handful survived.
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me

And it's over the mountains, and over the sea
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees
You'll fight in Flanders, and at Galipoli
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me

The stone men on Water Street still cry for the day
When the pride of the city went marching away
A thousand men slaughtered, to hear the King say
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me

And it's over the mountains, and over the sea
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees
You'll fight in Flanders, and at Galipoli
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me

So it's over the mountains, and over the sea
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees
You'll fight in Flanders, and at Galipoli
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me

Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me

2:44 am

2:54 am

60 f is too cold for me to be in shorts or short sleeves.

2:55 am

we're not as rainy as Seattle or Vancouver

2:58 am

dart001

true...for some reason I keep placing you in YVR

2:58 am

jillibus

No close mountains to make the clouds weep

2:58 am

dart001

forget that you are on the east side of vancouver island

2:58 am

jillibus

closer to Victoria -- don't know the code

2:59 am

jillibus

well, SSI is OFF the est side of Vancouver Island.

2:59 am

dart001

3:00 am

jillibus

well we're about 25 minutes from YVR by float plane

3:00 am

dart001

YYJ

3:00 am

jillibus

3:01 am

dart001

pretty area

3:01 am

jillibus

Over 1Â½ hours by ferry

3:02 am

jillibus

I like it here -- this island is full of interesting people from all over.

3:02 am

dart001

took a ferry when i was a kid ./...from vancouver to sydney? on the island to drive to victoria?

3:04 am

jillibus

That's Sidney -- actually that would be from Tsawassen (the Vancouver side) to Swartz Bay (north of Sidney)

3:05 am

dart001

we went to victoria for a few days...then took a ferry thru the San Juan islands back to Washington state north of Seattle

3:05 am

jillibus

And if you did that again now, you could get another ferry from Swartz Bay to Fulford Harbour on Salt Spring Island, which takes 35 minutes.

3:06 am

Yvo

Good Morning,This is for Haz if she reads chat,just wanted you to know that i truly miss you,and hope will see you again soon.

3:07 am

dart001

you have to ferry no matter what you want to do? don't think there are any bridges to main island?

3:07 am

jillibus

Hello Yvo -- Haz isn't here yet.

3:07 am

jillibus

That's right, dart. We have a moat.

Yvo

3:13 am

Yvo

3:14 am

jillibus

I enjoyed them too but we're not on the same time frame so I seldom saw her -- used to stay up far too late at first but now I'm trying to be more sensible -- and that's alaugh, considering it's now 1:13 am here.

3:15 am

jillibus

Adn I said goondight some time ago, with a *poof and everything!

3:15 am

Yvo

i get up early,so i always saw her before i went swimming

3:17 am

jillibus

Just checked your bio -- how terribly sad about your daughter.

3:18 am

jillibus

And now I must say goonight/morning and *repoof

3:18 am

good morning all

3:41 am

sprite

reading back on chat... Am so so sorry for your loss, Yvo. And I am right with you on what you say about Haz. And gossipers and namecallers. Haz deserves better.

3:44 am

Naoko

This is the first time for me to play this game. Does someone tell me how to play "today`s puzzle"?

3:45 am

sprite

hi Naoko, welcome to babble! There is good info in the Help section (top of the page) and in Angelsong's Babble Page (link under Friends of Babble).

3:45 am

dizgrannie

Naoko, click on the help thingo above chat

3:45 am

sprite

basically you register, then find words in the grid and enter them in the box under the grid.

3:45 am

sprite

hi dizgrannie :)

3:46 am

dizgrannie

hey sprite!

3:46 am

sprite

how are you today, diz?

3:47 am

ursh

Hello all had no internet connection this am - but thank heavens seems OK now

3:48 am

dizgrannie

3:48 am

sprite

hi ursh, glad it was fixed

3:48 am

dizgrannie

hi Ursh!

3:49 am

sprite

diz, am so sorry. So very painful :( Here's a busload of helping angels, a supersoft blanket to cuddle up in and of course chocolate to help you through the day. *hug*

3:50 am

dizgrannie

AWW GEEZ Thanx Sprite..xxx

Naoko, if you are still around, how is it going?

3:59 am

dizgrannie

4:04 am

sprite

hello carlee

4:04 am

sprite

no not yet

4:04 am

carleekat

hi sprite how are you?

4:04 am

rubyfoo

good morning for a little minute

4:04 am

dizgrannie

Hi Carlee!

4:05 am

dizgrannie

Hi Ruby!

4:05 am

carleekat

hi grannie... and ruby :)

4:05 am

rubyfoo

hello carlee and diz and sprite (I hope you're feeling better!)

4:05 am

sprite

not sleeping much. And sad about Haz.

4:05 am

sprite

hi ruby

4:06 am

carleekat

I am not sleeping either....

4:06 am

sprite

not sleeping is taxing.

4:07 am

rubyfoo

that is terrible that you're not sleeping, sprite! if I don't get enough sleep, I am totally useless!

4:07 am

carleekat

i guess i will sleep when i am dead

4:07 am

rubyfoo

(not that I'm very useful when I've slept....)

4:08 am

rubyfoo

do you need traction for your sciatica grannie? oris that only a last resort?

4:09 am

rubyfoo

wiol have to come back later. See you then, my friends

4:09 am

rubyfoo

(don't say that, carlee!!!!)

4:09 am

sprite

it is a bit of a ... whattayacallit... circle. I cannot sleep because I hurt too much to lie comfortably... then I am in more pain because I don't sleep. Crazy world.

4:09 am

carleekat

i hve a cat that went missing and the other cats ( 2) are crying for her... ( all indoor cats..she got out

4:10 am

sprite

bye rubyo

4:10 am

sprite

lol I'd say vicious circle and it is, but that is not the word!

4:10 am

dizgrannie

Ruby, at the moment am on painkillers and light exercise, if that doesn't work I made need a pain block injection (have heard terrible things about them) so last resort

4:10 am

MollyL

Sprite, I'm sad about Haz, and I'm more than a little angry that she was talked about like that in chat.

4:11 am

sprite

am right with you there, Molly. I wish people would take their grievances to the person directly and not flare in chat.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

oh carlee, I hope she has claws and can fend for herself. the me4 in the grid must be for her.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

When did this bad thing about haz happen? I missed it, I guess, but feel sorry

4:12 am

dizgrannie

speaking of Haz...in all the yrs I've been playing I cannot recall Haz monopolising the chat or say a bad word of anyone

4:12 am

carleekat

she does..and does

4:12 am

MollyL

Read her profile Ruby

4:12 am

sprite

she can, ruby. But withdraws in dignity.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

{{molly}}, I didn't see you.

4:13 am

MollyL

Haz doesn't monopolize the chat or say a bad word of anyone. I can't say the same about the name callers.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

now must go off and tend to mr. nasty and the pups

4:13 am

sprite

as can happen with all of us, she can rub people the wrong way. But Haz is helpful and integer. Those are things that should be much more important.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

Am I a name-called for calling DH mr. naty?

4:13 am

rubyfoo

lol

4:13 am

sprite

bye ruby, see you later

4:14 am

carleekat

( I know what this is about...i was... within the conversation... Haz and i agreed long ago tht we dont get along....i try and stay away...if she is onliine...i go away...or ignore chat..she does likewise
)

4:14 am

rubyfoo

nasty*

4:15 am

sprite

I don't feel we have to get along with everybody. But it really sickens me to see what was said about Haz (not by you, carlee). That was vicious.

4:15 am

carleekat

i mean her no disrespect... but we just dont mix...

4:15 am

rubyfoo

haz doesn't like me because of a smartass remark I once made about an actor which she took personally. She is unforgiving, but I think she over-reacted and couldn't let it go. name-calling (except for DH) is inappropriate in the chog!

4:16 am

carleekat

( but i did see what was said by haz prior to that conversation....and it was not nice either )

4:16 am

dizgrannie

thats fair enough Carlee.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

but I played anyway and hope I've never offended anybody else

4:17 am

rubyfoo

and the chog has been extremely supportive and wonderfully helpful when I've needed a place to turn.....

4:17 am

sprite

Haz is Haz and is part of babble, just as much (or more) than some others. And it is the 'behind her back' thing that bothers me most.

4:18 am

carleekat

exactly ruby....two wrongs do not make a right... and i can apprecite why the parties involved in it were very upset... and wht was sid by haz was equally behind the back...

4:18 am

rubyfoo

when did this happen? I'll have to go back in the archives later, when I have a little time

4:18 am

MollyL

I agree Sprite.

4:18 am

carleekat

( and my "a" is being tempermental)

4:18 am

carleekat

almost a month ago

4:19 am

rubyfoo

must have been when my computer was on the fritz (as it often is)

4:19 am

rubyfoo

I love this grid and hate to leave!

4:19 am

dizgrannie

Well I'll say my piece....am on here at different times, mainly at the flip and some peeps there really 'get my goat' but I just let it pass....no good making 'cyber' enemies.

4:20 am

sprite

someone sent me that piece of chat, expecting me to rejoice in it. Am still sick in the stomach when I think of that.

4:21 am

sprite

I think in chat it is extremely important to stay respectful and to realise you don't 'see' the face and don't 'hear' the voice.

4:22 am

carleekat

i just try ( not aways succeed) to shut up where applicable

4:23 am

dizgrannie

I 'hear' what you are saying Sprite...maybe we need a tongue in cheek smiley thingo..LOL

4:23 am

sprite

yeah that is of5 a good way to go.

4:24 am

sprite

we do, dizgrannie, we do! And especially people with Haz's kind of humour :D
That british thing does not always translate to chat, alas.

4:25 am

MollyL

Name calling in chat is not acceptable. I don't care whether you "like" a person or not. And there was a whole lot of the pot calling the kettle black in that "slam session".

4:25 am

sprite

*seconds Molly wholeheartedly*

4:25 am

marigold

ol

4:25 am

dizgrannie

LOL Sprite, thats why I don't say much, cos our Aussie humour is very dry and others take offense

4:26 am

carleekat

like i said... i also saw what instigated that outburst... and it was not nice either...

4:26 am

sprite

oh what a shame, dizgrannie, because I LUV aussie humour! I game with a couple of aussies and they sometimes make me almost pee my pants.

4:26 am

carleekat

nor was it appropriate... and i agree...luv aussie humour

4:27 am

sprite

carlee, no, not nice, but direct. And I think it is true that some subjects have been proven very divisive in babble.

4:27 am

MollyL

Am I missing something from the archive of that day? Has something been deleted? Because I read the whole thing and I don't see anything that merited what was said about Haz.

4:27 am

carleekat

it was a day or so before molls

4:27 am

carleekat

around flip i believe

4:27 am

carleekat

and yes i think some stuff has been deleted if i recall

4:28 am

dizgrannie

thanx guys, but sometimes we have to explain and it sorta takes the humour out of it (if you know what I mean)

4:28 am

sprite

lol yes diz. Same with my own humour. Sometimes it just doesn't 'play'.

4:29 am

Kallia

oh I'm a great one for foot in mouth...

4:29 am

Kallia

morning all

4:29 am

carleekat

but i might be wrong...

4:29 am

sprite

tongue in cheek and foot in mouth... small wonder babblers are so flexible. Hi Kallia.

4:29 am

Kallia

why I don't chat much :)

4:30 am

carleekat

i'm not here often now...

4:30 am

MollyL

All I can say is that if people want to bitch and moan about people they should do it in email or private correspondence and leave it out of chat.

4:30 am

Kallia

lol sprite

4:30 am

sprite

yes yes yessssss!

4:30 am

Kallia

I agree with that Molly

4:30 am

dizgrannie

Right on, Molly

4:31 am

Kallia

and they should remember that they are not perfect either!

4:31 am

Kallia

and this is a game

4:31 am

sprite

far from, indeed. As we are all. Perfectly imperfect.

4:31 am

carleekat

it was when lickety went missing....and MRP was understandably upset... and Haz did make some very pointed statements about MRP when MRP was not online... that read to me at least that haz was kicking MRP when she was down...

4:32 am

carleekat

i dont know about neil's issue...

4:32 am

Kallia

I will not comment on that

4:32 am

carleekat

whether she did...or did not intend for it to mean that she was indeed doing so... to me it read she did

4:33 am

carleekat

( i hope i am not inflaming a situation here...)

4:33 am

sprite

no you are not, you are being careful

4:33 am

Kallia

yes but carle you cant see her,you don't know her so bebefit of doubt...that is the point....

4:33 am

Kallia

no you aren't inflaming

4:33 am

sprite

I hear you, but I also know where Haz is coming from. I think it is only fair to try and see both sides.

4:34 am

Kallia

sorry carlee, that wasn't personal to you btw

4:34 am

carleekat

i felt it was mean spirited....but that is just my interpretation...

4:35 am

sprite

chat can become pretty monopolised by some people. I have done it too once. It is easy to do and not always ok for the rest of babble.

4:35 am

carleekat

kallia..with the BS in my life atm... my skin is far thicker than taking offense from anything you have said :)

4:35 am

Kallia

good :)

4:35 am

carleekat

so have I sprite... :)

4:36 am

sprite

I can understand why you'd think so, carlee, but it was not. Haz is not mean. But in the end this is not about Haz, it is about how to treat eachother in chat... and flaming is awful.

4:36 am

sprite

no you have not, carlee

4:37 am

Kallia

that is so true Sprite, both points

4:37 am

sprite

I mean really monopolising. Not sharing some stuff and getting support or distraction. That is a great part of babble.

4:37 am

Kallia

I've known Haz since babble started ...she is not nasty

4:37 am

dizgrannie

I have learnt from past experiences - NOT to post too much info anywhere...there is always someone who will do anything to bring someone down

4:38 am

sprite

same for me, Kallia. No nastiness. A lot of integrity.

4:38 am

Kallia

that's true too diz

4:38 am

sprite

too true, disgrannie

4:38 am

carleekat

i can say..in the past... haz has made comments to me tht were hurtful to me...she probably did not intend them to be...again..i did not hear her tone..nor she mine... and i know i have made comments that i never intended to hurt her but she made clear i had hurt her as well...

4:39 am

sprite

yeah, that is the downside of chat. It is fast and it misses some important dimensions. It is easy to hurt eachother.

4:39 am

Kallia

but as adults we know that...or should

4:39 am

carleekat

so..i avoid chat... and i think those of u who are on here if u think back over the last couple of years... haz and i are never online chatting at the same time

4:39 am

Kallia

words in a chog.....

4:39 am

dizgrannie

'words on a screen', how one interprets them is up to them, but then again it could be misinterpreted.

4:41 am

sprite

communication is complicated in every form. Chat is a difficult form because it is immediate and incomplete. And yes, I think it is important to remember that... and to remember we are adults, grin.

4:41 am

sprite

we have chatted quite a bit though, carlee. And I hope we will continue to do so.

4:41 am

carleekat

its just best tht way... like i said...she has many times made comments to me or around me tht to me were hurtful...so why would i wish to be online to be hurt... and i am not typically one to incite or inflame...i have a coule of times had heated discussion but was with someone i also chat with off of here..and all is good

4:42 am

carleekat

why wouldnt we sprite?

4:42 am

sprite

we can't if you avoid chat :P

4:42 am

dizgrannie

ADULTS???? I's only a little kid.....(in my dreams) LOL

4:42 am

Kallia

LOL diz...of course you ar....pats diz on the heaqd and gives her a lollipop

4:43 am

dizgrannie

hahaha Ta Kallia..xx

4:43 am

carleekat

hahaha...i avoid chatting when i see haz...not to be a bitch...just cus we just dont see things the same way and i dont want to upset her by saying something that wold upset her..nor do i wish to be upset by her....its just we dont mix..no iddue

4:43 am

sprite

look I am not playing holy here, I can be as hurt as the best of you. And I have. But what I try to live by is what is in my profile... point at another and you point 3 fingers toward yourself. It is easy to judge. Hard to understand. Even harder to forgive or let go. But worth it.

4:44 am

carleekat

adults..that reminds me of a funny thing tht hppend to me this week ( if i might change the subject for a brief funny moment)

4:44 am

sprite

and as adults we are entitled to choose our company, of course.

4:44 am

sprite

please do, carlee.

4:44 am

MollyL

Well like I said, I don't think name calling or flaming has any part in this community. That is what personal, out of chat communication is for. No wonder so many people aren't chatting here anymore. Sad.

4:44 am

dizgrannie

Carlee, good for you if you avoid chat when Haz is on, means you are in control of YOU.

4:45 am

sprite

not enough monitoring, Molly. Especially self-monitoring. I miss some people badly in chat.

4:46 am

carleekat

so..i stayed in london with a family friend...she is this lovely older lady...who has the sweetest soul imaginable...and she was saying..how her kids are now 48-53...in my head i went..WOW...your kids are old...then i went..WAIT...i'm 45..shit..i''m old

4:46 am

dizgrannie

45...ya only a babe in my books

4:46 am

sprite

roflol! Oh that is precious, and so very familiar.

4:47 am

carleekat

i have been chuckling to myself about that all week

4:47 am

Kallia

yep mine too lol

4:47 am

sprite

my grandma was in her 80s when she declared she wouldn't go live in some assisted-living flat... 'Not with all those old people!' she said.

4:48 am

carleekat

hehehe that is funny sprite...

4:48 am

sprite

I wish I felt a babe more often, grin. Jeez, I'll never be as old as I feel atm.

4:49 am

sprite

yeah, priceless. And sincere. I remember the first time someone called me Mrs. So weird.

4:49 am

carleekat

i am currently walking a very thin tightrope with my step mum....this woman is a naeighbour of hers...litterally 10 doors down...and step mum considers her a meddling old busy body ( she is a bit of a hopeless romantic....and at that stage she speaks her mind and lots dont like it )

4:49 am

Kallia

old is mostly in the head...unless you have illness

4:49 am

Kallia

my mother is 88...still lives alone...

4:49 am

sprite

some people don't grow old, they just ripen.

4:50 am

carleekat

oh man..i was called Ma'am by one of our clients yesterday..how weird is it to be called ma'am by a criminal no less

4:50 am

sprite

lol carlee! Lots better than 'babe' though, by a criminal...

4:50 am

carleekat

that is amazing kallia..and good for her!!! your mom rocks

4:51 am

dizgrannie

my mum broke her hip 10 weeks ago and is back living indepently (except for Doctors appointments) she'll be 85 next March

4:51 am

Kallia

she does indeed...a tough old bird

4:51 am

sprite

woot your mums rock indeed

4:51 am

Kallia

4:51 am

carleekat

4:57 am

sprite

4:58 am

carleekat

oh..cool...well i guessi should participate in my own themes...

4:59 am

sprite

looks delicious. What the heck is 'allspice', btw?

4:59 am

carleekat

its a spice....sim to cinnamon

5:00 am

sprite

and no, you don't HAVE to, carlee. I feel strongly that nobody should be obliged to follow icon themes. It is a fun thing.

5:00 am

carleekat

hmmm....something that...oooh... i know..brb..changing icon

5:00 am

sprite

hmz ok. It is of5 the problem with recipes in another language, that they use ingredients we simply don't have here, nor know what they are.

5:03 am

dizgrannie

LOL @ Sprite in regards to icon themes,cop it nearly every arvo (my time) at the flip....I have the icon I have cos my g/dtr picked it and until she wants to change it - it stays.

5:03 am

carleekat

okie kokie....icon changed

5:04 am

sprite

lol dizgrannie, and it should. It is lovely.

5:04 am

carleekat

i cant wait until sunday..hehehe... crossy will be in his glory

5:04 am

sprite

hehehe carlee, good one. We could combine, you and I.

5:04 am

dizgrannie

Sprite, make sure you don't mistake 'allspice' for '5 spice' to different thingos

5:04 am

carleekat

we could indeed

5:05 am

carleekat

yea..there is 7 spice too

5:05 am

sprite

arrrggghhh dizgrannie! Can you tell me the difference?

5:05 am

carleekat

it is a seed pod that is ground... ( allspice tht is)

5:05 am

sprite

ok... help *collapses and stares helplessly at recipes*

5:05 am

dizgrannie

* to=two

5:06 am

sprite

ah we have that! It is called 'piment' here.

5:06 am

carleekat

5 spice/ 7 spice is an arabic blend of spices... cinnamon cumin pepper and a couple others..i forget

5:06 am

sprite

ah we call that garam masala

5:07 am

dizgrannie

ty carlee

5:07 am

carleekat

corriander and cardomom too i think...

5:07 am

carleekat

garam masala is indian :)

5:07 am

dizgrannie

all spice is used in chinese cooking...well here in Oz

5:08 am

carleekat

is called baharat spice blend

5:08 am

sprite

yes... I think there is no cumin in garam masala. Probably different errr... ratio (?) too.

5:11 am

sprite

my friend who died a couple of years ago had a wonderful recipe for garam masala. I have it still and intend to make it... some day... but it is weird because she always made a huge batch and shared it with us.

5:12 am

carleekat

is nice that you have her recipe... nice rememberance

5:13 am

carleekat

i hope one day...when i am gone...people remember me through my recipes

5:14 am

5:27 am

5:32 am

sprite

I love your icon, btw. Very scary!

5:33 am

MollyL

Actually, I thought it was cute. It looks like the big Daddy pumpkin telling the little pumpkins, "this is what they do to you when you get older". : )

5:34 am

sprite

hehehe yes indeed. It is just me, finding talking pumpkins pleasantly scary.

5:35 am

MollyL

"Pleasantly scary"...that is great phrase. And just what jack-o-lanterns are all about.

5:36 am

sprite

I so envy you guys the whole hallowe'en thing. We don't have it here and I really wish we did. It is so much fun.

5:37 am

MollyL

I like the fact that something so deeply rooted in Pagan ritual is still celebrated in modern terms.

5:38 am

sprite

indeed. It is a shame it was rooted out here. All we have left is Sint Maarten, where the little kids go door to door, singing for treats, carrying lampions. Not scary ones though.

5:40 am

sprite

fireflies for me. I enjoyed chatting with you, Molly. Have a nice day and see you soon :)

5:40 am

Good Morning Everybody. How are you all today?

10:10 am

rururocks

hi nef

10:12 am

Nef

I just got NBT, but struggled with that top right O the longest time! I wonder why it seems that the smallest words are the hardest to see?

10:13 am

uusue2

nbt here too, nef, and mine was the upper e (well, and the lower e but I got help from ruru with that)

10:14 am

carleekat

10:18 am

MollyL

Oh Lord, I can only imagine what this place is going to look like next Sunday.

10:18 am

rururocks

what do you guys mean?

10:19 am

Nef

I just got an email from my bank saying I'm overdrawn by about $1000; it seems I paid for some funeral stuff for Aunty out of our checking account instead of hers! I need to get dressed and go take care of that! BBL (3 banks, 4 checking accounts, and grief don't always make life easy right now)

10:19 am

MollyL

Next Sunday's icon theme is lingerie.

10:19 am

rururocks

oh goody

10:19 am

MollyL

Aw Nef, that's too bad.

10:19 am

rururocks

on the lingerie.. not the bank draft

10:20 am

Dorens

helloo babbleonia

10:20 am

MollyL

I'm surprised Sprite went for that, considering how dicey things have been around here lately. Oh well, to hell in a hand basket we go.

10:21 am

rururocks

dicey.. hey doren

10:21 am

rururocks

dicey???

10:21 am

Dorens

said you dedicated it to crossy... thought it was bacon --he certainly isn't the mail who enjoys lingerie, eh ru?

10:22 am

rururocks

no.. I'm sure there are other males that do around here

10:22 am

rururocks

..and probably a few that like to wear it too..lol

10:22 am

Dorens

and women who like it as well

10:23 am

rururocks

yessum

10:23 am

Dorens

i slept over 9 hours last night... need more of that, for sure

10:24 am

rururocks

good for you doren..that means you need it

10:25 am

MollyL

Dicey meant personalities have clashed here recently.

10:25 am

rururocks

who would clash over lingerie?

10:26 am

Dorens

i go to sleep too late every night, drag mself out for another 9 hour day at work (with no real time out for lunch) then try to get in my exercise... and MUST babble. stay up too late again trying to read the paper, etc. Need to break the cycle.

10:26 am

Dorens

ru how's the knee?

10:26 am

MollyL

There is no telling what people might find offensive.

10:26 am

rururocks

same.. not great

10:26 am

rururocks

yeah molly.. you are right

10:26 am

Dorens

makes life interesting mol. sorry ru... have you see the specialist yet?

10:27 am

rururocks

no.. soon though.. finally have a new doctor

10:27 am

Dorens

hope it's soon

10:28 am

rururocks

I think doren is right ... some people get offended by a remark that isn't meant in the way they take it.

10:28 am

rubyfoo

hello, back for a bit while dinner gets ready

10:28 am

Dorens

i find it frequently amusing . hello ruby

10:28 am

rururocks

I think comments here have to be really blatant so that it's understood

10:31 am

rubyfoo

nothing like catching the caboose, I seem to have missed some fireworks (and not the good kind!)

10:31 am

Dorens

if there is anyone who can't figure out that you just like to poke fun at lots of things and mean no offense ever, then they probably should just keep quiet at this point

10:31 am

Dorens

none that i've see ruby. it is more of a general discussion

10:32 am

rubyfoo

I've never seen anything on here (except trolls, of course) that could be construed as offensive

10:32 am

rururocks

no problems today ruby.. coast is clear

10:32 am

rubyfoo

phew, I can take off the bullet-proof vest then

10:33 am

IndiaJan

good morning everyone :)

10:33 am

rubyfoo

10:34 am

rururocks

*doren thinks of the most interesting ways to greet people*

10:34 am

Dorens

hint?

10:34 am

MollyL

No Ru, what I'm referring to is blatant flaming.

10:34 am

Dorens

*doren doesn't think! fingers just do what they want*

10:34 am

rururocks

oh..I guess I've missed that Molly

10:34 am

IndiaJan

someone has a flame thrower?

10:35 am

Dorens

me too, wondering what molly means

10:35 am

MollyL

Read Haz's profile. Enough said.

10:35 am

Dorens

love reading haz's profile

10:35 am

rururocks

oh..

10:36 am

rubyfoo

how do you get a profile if somebody isn't on line?

10:39 am

Dorens

oh my goodness. this is just getting ridiculous. (just having read haz's profile) Why on earth can't folks just let things go????? I have missed haz and have no way of contacting her.

10:39 am

IndiaJan

now im curious :)

10:39 am

Dorens

(Just read my post- I need to stop saying just so often, don't I?)

10:40 am

rururocks

I miss haz too..

10:41 am

MollyL

Disagree with someone, fine. Tell someone their comment offended you, fine. Name calling, not fine. That's my take on it.

10:41 am

Dorens

"some nosy old busybody"? come on. this needs to stop!!

10:41 am

rururocks

Name calling is not good.

10:42 am

Dorens

i nominate ruru to figure out a way to end it!

10:42 am

rubyfoo

just read haz's profile, that's awful

10:42 am

rururocks

oh no....

10:42 am

rururocks

I create trouble enough on my own doren..lol

10:43 am

bichon

Whatever happened to Haz. Should I just find her profile and read it. I miss her

10:43 am

CiociaJudy

I need one of you wizards to stop the damn snow that is falling BEFORE HALLOWEEN. Not ready!!!!

10:43 am

Dorens

(that's one reason i nominate you!)

10:43 am

rubyfoo

10:43 am

rururocks

*smartass*

10:43 am

Dorens

looking out my window now judy. The trees are covered!

10:43 am

rururocks

it's snowing already back there?

10:44 am

rubyfoo

no no judy!

10:44 am

CiociaJudy

hate snow. *stomps foot* not a good omen for the upcoming winter

10:44 am

CiociaJudy

evidently we're going to break "weather records" today. whoopee!

10:44 am

rururocks

*points judy to the PB*

10:44 am

rubyfoo

maybe you'll be lucky like we were last year. All the snow came in December and then not another flake

10:44 am

CiociaJudy

yikes ruru! *slinks to PB* hope there's good stuff in there

10:44 am

rubyfoo

thanks judy

10:44 am

bichon

Read her profile. That's too bad. I miss her dearly

10:44 am

MollyL

*Passes Judy my rose colored glasses* If it's snowing now, maybe that means we will have a mild winter. (Said in hopeful voice)

10:45 am

CiociaJudy

ooooo like the glass half full theory Molly! LOL

10:45 am

rubyfoo

make a snow angel and say a prayer!

10:45 am

bichon

this isn

10:45 am

bichon

this isn't snow angel type of snow. Wet, heavy stuff

10:46 am

rubyfoo

then you have to be a big angel

10:46 am

CiociaJudy

I still have my porch and deck furniture out; didn't cover a thing yet LOL

10:46 am

bichon

I just hope this doesn't spoil going to my grand daughter's b'day party tomorrow

10:46 am

bichon

I will be heart broken

10:47 am

CiociaJudy

what's the forecast for accumulation up your way bichon?

10:48 am

Dorens

i have possible 8 - 14.. depending on how far north and how far west of NYC the forecasters meant!

10:48 am

CiociaJudy

YIKES DOREN!

10:48 am

CiociaJudy

up to about 8 or 10 they are saying here.

10:48 am

bichon

Now they're saying 5-8 in central CT

10:48 am

rubyfoo

that is amazing for Oct!

10:48 am

CiociaJudy

snowing really heavy right now. *crying*

10:49 am

rubyfoo

10:49 am

bichon

See what you're missing ruby. Crazy weather

10:49 am

MollyL

*Casts Irish evil eye at snow*

10:49 am

rubyfoo

come and sit by the fire

10:49 am

Dorens

the biggest problem really is that are so many leaves still on trees that heavy snow + weight of leaves can mean lots of power lines down! I had no power for 6 days after irene. not ready for that again. and i'm driving into the city tonight for a dinner party that i don't want to miss!

10:49 am

CiociaJudy

heavy wet stuff; concerns about power outtages because the leaves are still on the trees and may cause destruction

10:49 am

CiociaJudy

LOL Dorens

10:49 am

rubyfoo

thone

10:49 am

MollyL

Be safe Dorens.

10:50 am

CiociaJudy

*taking flight to sit by fire with Ruby*

10:50 am

rubyfoo

and nobody has snow tires on yet, right?

10:50 am

MollyL

<---Just remembered she needs to clean out the fireplace

10:50 am

CiociaJudy

be careful Dorens; I thought the worst of it was to arrive around dinner time

10:50 am

MollyL

We use all weather radials all year long now Ruby.

10:50 am

bichon

All season radials for us

10:50 am

rubyfoo

it gets chilly here without central heating, but the fires are nice

10:50 am

Dorens

my car fortunately has allwheel drive and very good allseason tires. but i don't know about the other fools on the road

10:50 am

CiociaJudy

LOL Ruby. Thought of that driving home tonight. My snow tires are sitting in the garage. I do have all season radials.

10:51 am

rubyfoo

I have no idea what we have

10:51 am

MollyL

You know what I miss? The sound of chains on tires. That was a real "winter sound" for me as a kid.

10:51 am

CiociaJudy

*last night

10:51 am

rubyfoo

last year, we never got them on. we were snowed in for two days, but a friend shovelled us out

10:51 am

CiociaJudy

yep Molly. Don't see them anymore.

10:51 am

bichon

With ABS we don't seem to need snow tires

10:52 am

rubyfoo

in Austria, chains were required as recently as 10 yrs ago....

10:52 am

CiociaJudy

I still like the snow tires; gives me a false sense of security.

10:52 am

Dorens

i used to like the sound of the plows on the road. now i just shudder

10:52 am

CiociaJudy

if someone would clear my sidewalk and driveway I'd love the snow

10:53 am

bichon

True Judy, but the annoyance of having them put on and taken off

10:53 am

rubyfoo

"snow days in Binghamton" heaven!

10:53 am

rubyfoo

dinner now, see you later.

10:53 am

rubyfoo

10:53 am

CiociaJudy

I know bichon. For my older cars I just bought an extra set of wheels to make it easier. When I priced the wheels for my new car, it was not a go.

10:53 am

bichon

I bet you got lots there ruby. But at least they know how to clear the roads there

10:53 am

CiociaJudy

enjoy dinner Ruby.

10:54 am

rubyfoo

<--would rather play babble

10:54 am

Dorens

just heard weather.. winds gusting tonite maybe to 45 mph??? that + heavy snow? ohh noo

10:54 am

rubyfoo

when we first moved here, there was a huge amount but not any more

10:55 am

CiociaJudy

damn Dorens! heard the wind was going to pick up.

10:55 am

bichon

think about what will happen to the power lines after the leaf trees get covered with wet snow

10:55 am

CiociaJudy

we northerners need to buy a Babblers' condo in a warmer climate so we can winter there

10:56 am

Dorens

don't want to cancel on my cousin. last time we were supposed to do this they were scheduled to come to my house... weekend of sept 11.. and because of the rumored terror threat, they were afraid to come out here (tunnels and bridges were threatened to be bombed.. they live in NYC and i'm in NJ). so this is the second time that outside forces may cause a problem. we are jinxed

10:57 am

Dorens

judy, the condo should be in warmer climate, then the snow won't be a problem!

10:57 am

Scrabbler

Good day to my buddies. How is weather in the northeast now?

10:57 am

CiociaJudy

it can be just as slippery driving on the downed leaves as the snow

10:57 am

CiociaJudy

Scrabs!!!!!!

10:57 am

CiociaJudy

10:57 am

Anniebrook

heavy snow and fierce winds here

Scrabs are you getting a big one?

10:58 am

CiociaJudy

Hi Annie

10:58 am

Scrabbler

We should be fine here in western NY state. We got snow Thursday and that melted yesterday.

10:58 am

Anniebrook

Hi Judy :)

10:59 am

Scrabbler

We had an October snowstorm in 2006 which was devastating because leaves were still on the trees.

11:00 am

bichon

Did you lose power

11:01 am

Scrabbler

I was fine here--35 miles southeast of Buffalo, but in Buffalo and suburbs my parents + sister had no power for 10 days.

11:02 am

CiociaJudy

need a word from the E in th second column for NBT

11:02 am

Scrabbler

The Doppler radar map of the northeast looks scary.

11:03 am

CiociaJudy

11:03 am

Scrabbler

My sister is supposed to depart her home in northern NJ and drive here tomorrow.

11:03 am

Dorens

11:04 am

Scrabbler

11:20 am

periwinkle

ok

11:21 am

Dorens

this is leslie you're talking about though? who beats you at scrabble? of course she is smart

11:21 am

bichon

It mjust be nie to have siblings. My only sibling, a brother, isolated himself from the rest of the family many years ago.

11:22 am

Scrabbler

Yep, Leslie is on her way. She is very smart--beats me at Scrabble. She is a hospital pharmacist.

11:22 am

Scrabbler

I have a wacky sister who I am not close to. I helped raise her 3 boys.

11:23 am

bichon

every family seems to have their skeletons

11:24 am

Scrabbler

I do things with the other sis but I maintain a clear boundary with her.

11:25 am

Scrabbler

My family is the poster family for dysfunction and mental illness.

11:25 am

Where are her boys now?

11:26 am

Scrabs, i am so glad you are going to get a visit with leslie! mother and I were able to play scrabble with her aunt this last week when we visited, and it was lovely.

11:27 am

Scrabbler

2 live on their own. Oldest lived with me from 16-23, graduated from college in May, and wants to go to grad school. 21 yr old lives with his longterm girlfriend. He attends college. 18 yr old splits time between parents and will start community college in January, I hope.

11:27 am

bichon

i used to play Scrabble a whole lot, but lost interest in favor of Babble

11:27 am

Scrabbler

Stid, it's not in the Stid genes.

11:28 am

bichon

Sounds like they're doing well, considering. Kids are resilient

11:29 am

Scrabbler

They have their baggage, for sure, but are moving forward. I do worry about them very much. I did what I could to enrich their lives.

11:30 am

bichon

Things could have turned out a lot worse. You must be very thankful for this

11:31 am

Scrabbler

Yes, there were some scary times along the way. When the youngest commits to a college education I will relax a bit.

11:35 am

Scrabbler

I found a 7 by myself

11:36 am

I found a 9 by myself. That usually doesn't happen

Free clues are part of sharing with the Babble community.

12:11 pm

Scrabbler

No way, Trif. It was a kind gesture.

12:11 pm

Trifioso

it's the gods punishing me....one of my co-workers has a family member who works for Utz, and he brought a HUGE box of snacks bags in, and I gave in to temptation and am plowing thru a bag of cheese curls...

12:20 pm

Trifioso

it's not in the grid either :(

12:20 pm

Trifioso

could I have a nudge, please, for the e in the second column? Is it fishy?

12:20 pm

Trifioso

I just can't see it

12:20 pm

Scrabbler

Melatonin is produced by our own pineal gland in the brain. It is what induces sleep.

12:20 pm

Scrabbler

e + lo4 (what Tarzan covers up)

12:21 pm

Trifioso

thank you scrabbler! finally NBT

12:21 pm

Trif can't see lo4s. There is something Freudian in that.

12:21 pm

Trifioso

heh. If memory serves, Molly

12:21 pm

Scrabbler

lo4 rhymes with what a penny is

12:22 pm

I was going to say, jbv, if your weather is like my dad's it's pretty crappy

12:45 pm

Shirlockc

2 inches at least in Brooklyn

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

it is still beautiful here. We don't ever get brilliant sunsets,but this evening the high clouds turned pink and everything was bathed in a rosy glow

12:45 pm

MollyL

Someone says thanks, the response is don't me7 it. The me8 is one who me7s

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

I tried to photgraph it but would have needed a wide wide lens

12:45 pm

JBV

cold but since I don't have to go anywhere I don't mind the snow - it looks beautiful

12:45 pm

12:46 pm

uusue2

jbv is in New Jersey, nan

12:46 pm

MollyL

Wet cold rain here, mixed with snow. It's gross.

12:46 pm

uusue2

nice and sunny here although not warm (but warmer than the east coast!)

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

I don't think we were affected by the volcano; this was just part of our little micro-climate's treats

12:47 pm

cybernan

love the pumpkin, molly -- like the way it tells a story!

12:47 pm

JBV

oh, sorry, stepped away for a sec, thanks, sue, yes, I'm in NJ

12:47 pm

MollyL

I've made cinnamon rolls and a loaf of bread. I'm in snow day mode.

12:48 pm

Isn't it cute Nan? It's like Poppa Pumpkin telling the baby pumpkins what is in store for them.

12:48 pm

uusue2

it is pumpkin fest this weekend but I don't know if I will have a chance to go see the pumpkins

12:48 pm

uusue2

they have some pretty amazing ones

12:48 pm

uusue2

and ruby, I will have to find the ne5!

12:49 pm

MollyL

I thought ne6 was for Sue. She is the one that taught me things were named after inventors.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

no, I meant ne6, sorry for misleading you

12:49 pm

that's from typing in the dark

12:51 pm

cybernan

ne + actor's part - change last vowel

12:53 pm

(funny I had the lizard but not the physics unit)

12:53 pm

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

lizards in my studio -- dead and alive

12:54 pm

cybernan

bye, everyone -- back at the flip :)

12:54 pm

MollyL

So did I Sue, for a while. And it was cookies, not physics, that made me see it. : )

12:54 pm

not for me, I am only getting started - see you later, nan!

12:55 pm

oh, right, cookies! (when you first said that I was thinking of the kind that your web browser sets. Super geek here.)

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

I used to think fi ne6's were good for you until I read the ingredients....

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

fig*

1:00 pm

MollyL

What's wrong with the cookies?

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

they're delish, but I don't think the amount of fruit counts as a fruit portion

1:03 pm

uusue2

about as healthy as any other cookies - mostly white flour, sugar, and fat

1:04 pm

MollyL

Okay whew. And I truly hope that no one is eating those cookies and counting them as a fruit. : )

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

I used to give them to my son, kidding myself

1:06 pm

MollyL

Well they are lower in calories and fat than other cookies and have a smidge more fiber. That's about it.

1:06 pm

uusue2

ah, I have nbs, thanks to Molly! just noticed.

1:06 pm

uusue2

oh, and guess what?

1:07 pm

1:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't like cookies that don't contain chocolate.

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

I don't like chocolate

1:07 pm

uusue2

I was finally able to send in my application for my passport. The first time I tried they told me my birth certificate was no good, so I had to order another one from the State of New Jersey (cost me $50).

1:08 pm

uusue2

So apparently I will be able to go to Israel after all!

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

does anybody remember Moonlight Mallows?

1:08 pm

yay for Sue!

1:08 pm

Don't like chocolate???????????????????

1:08 pm

I grew up in a candy store....

no chocolate?!

1:09 pm

1:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Your birth certificate expired---I love that concept.

1:09 pm

uusue2

boy, ruby, I hope you like cheese or you are in the wrong country for sure!

1:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You were a kid in a candy store?

1:09 pm

uusue2

it didn't expire, kap, it didn't have the right information on it

1:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And wine?

1:09 pm

MollyL

Nabisco still makes a Mallow cookie, never heard it called a Moonlight Mallow.

1:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know- I just like the idea of it expiring.

1:10 pm

doseffing

... Happened up here a few years ago too ... Everyone with a birth certificate from Quebec date before about 1990 had to apply for one again because someone found there had been too many issued falsely

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

moonlight mallows had raspberry jam in the middle

1:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ha ha. People found out they hadn't really been born!

1:10 pm

1:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

has anyone here ever had the medical symptom of a feeling of a lump in the throat, like needing to swallow?

1:12 pm

MollyL

I bet it's hard to find a malted these days.

1:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I looked it up on line and find I have something to add to my growing list of oddball symptoms.

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

not here, that's for sure

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

are you having trouble eating and drinking, kaplan?

1:13 pm

MollyL

Kap, are you feeling verklempt?

1:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

mmmmmmmmmmm malted... a concept lost outside of new york metro area

1:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No- it is just a feeling of a lump in the throat. Not emotional.

1:13 pm

doseffing

... don't like the word "lump" ... if it persists at all ... check it out

1:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

indigestion

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

thyroid-related?

1:14 pm

MollyL

Had your thyroid checked recently?

1:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No- I looked it up. It could be viral.

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

snap, molly

1:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't have a thyroid.

1:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

feeling as in you feel with your fingers, or feels as if there is oe to swallow?

1:14 pm

doseffing

... it could be a mess of things ... check it out

1:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's not something you feel outside, like a cyst- it is an ENT thing-

1:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Swallow.

1:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

i vote indigestion/acid reflux

1:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have that- that is heartburn. And no on the thyroid.

1:15 pm

MollyL

I thought acid reflux was at the bottom of the esophagus.

1:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I go with viral for 100 points, Alex.

1:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

sometimes i would even feel thirsty. parched, and it was acid reflux, as well as something in the throat

1:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's the daily double!

1:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, kap: whayt IS viral;)

1:16 pm

MollyL

Can I buy an enlarged lymph node?

1:16 pm

uusue2

I have trouble swallowing but I think that is due to repeated neck surgeries

Hello MollyL. So tell me, if you think people should keep their bitching and moaning about other Babblers out of the chog, why you had to participate in your good friend sprite's campaign to bring what was a private email conversation into the chog? And you have the gall to bring up pots and kettles?
****************
Saturday, October 29

4:20 am sprite: someone sent me that piece of chat, expecting me to rejoice in it. Am still sick in the stomach when I think of that.

4:21 am sprite: I think in chat it is extremely important to stay respectful and to realise you don't 'see' the face and don't 'hear' the voice.

4:22 am carleekat: i just try ( not aways succeed) to shut up where applicable

4:23 am dizgrannie: I 'hear' what you are saying Sprite...maybe we need a tongue in cheek smiley thingo..LOL

4:23 am sprite: yeah that is of5 a good way to go.

4:24 am sprite: we do, dizgrannie, we do! And especially people with Haz's kind of humour :D
That british thing does not always translate to chat, alas.

4:25 am MollyL: Name calling in chat is not acceptable. I don't care whether you "like" a person or not. And there was a whole lot of the pot calling the kettle black in that "slam session".

4:25 am sprite: *seconds Molly wholeheartedly*

4:25 am marigold: ol

4:25 am dizgrannie: LOL Sprite, thats why I don't say much, cos our Aussie humour is very dry and others take offense

4:26 am carleekat: like i said... i also saw what instigated that outburst... and it was not nice either...

4:26 am sprite: oh what a shame, dizgrannie, because I LUV aussie humour! I game with a couple of aussies and they sometimes make me almost pee my pants.

4:26 am carleekat: nor was it appropriate... and i agree...luv aussie humour

4:27 am sprite: carlee, no, not nice, but direct. And I think it is true that some subjects have been proven very divisive in babble.

4:27 am MollyL: Am I missing something from the archive of that day? Has something been deleted? Because I read the whole thing and I don't see anything that merited what was said about Haz.

4:27 am carleekat: it was a day or so before molls

4:27 am carleekat: around flip i believe

4:27 am carleekat: and yes i think some stuff has been deleted if i recall

4:28 am dizgrannie: thanx guys, but sometimes we have to explain and it sorta takes the humour out of it (if you know what I mean)

4:28 am sprite: lol yes diz. Same with my own humour. Sometimes it just doesn't 'play'.

4:29 am Kallia: oh I'm a great one for foot in mouth...

4:29 am Kallia: morning all

4:29 am carleekat: but i might be wrong...

4:29 am sprite: tongue in cheek and foot in mouth... small wonder babblers are so flexible. Hi Kallia.

4:29 am Kallia: why I don't chat much :)

4:30 am carleekat: i'm not here often now...

4:30 am MollyL: All I can say is that if people want to bitch and moan about people they should do it in email or private correspondence and leave it out of chat.
************

I have to say I haven't seen this much sanctimonious, spiteful, passive/aggressive backstabbing here since NancyBoy died. Take your own advice please, "ladies" (and I use that term very loosely here) and keep your "bitching and moaning" and your own "slam sessions" about other Babblers out of the chog. Hypocrites. *thumbs down*

1:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not have it anymore, only occasional indigestion

1:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

wth?

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

I used to take Prevacid in the US but I think it must have gone off patent and now I can only get Nexium which is VERY expensive

1:20 pm

MollyL

A) Nothing in that extended clip of chat had anything to do with private email, it was about what is posted in someone's profile and B) There is no name calling in that extended piece of chat, only hopes that people will stay respectful of others while chatting.

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

and share medical advice

1:21 pm

pumpkins are too expensive here, too

72 Temple Owl

1:38 pm

At least the old book had a limited number of ailments: the internet just gives a terrifying vast universe of things to be wrong with us.

2:00 pm

Hi jmc - you can certainly do without that. I hope it goes as quickly as it comes. In 1966 I went to W'ton at Christmas and in four days we had snow, baking heat, rain, and fog temperature variation -5 to +15 and back.

2:00 pm

jmcnrick

they had started the roof for my second floor but just barely and it is covered in water now inside :-(

2:01 pm

Anyone want any clues before I go make cauliflower cheese?

2:01 pm

2:02 pm

sorry - English dish - cauliflower with cheese sauce.

2:02 pm

jmcnrick

i have spent all day working on my job application for the job in london--i am excited that i might be able to come to the bristish babble meet up

2:02 pm

jmcnrick

ah cauliflower au gratin! lol

2:04 pm

scouser

Aha - the posh version! I remember my mother used to make toasted-breadcrumbs-in-melted-butter to go with it as a sort of crunchy topping

2:04 pm

jmcnrick

yes indeed the bread crumbs add to it

2:05 pm

jmcnrick

well i must slog back to my application just needed to yell about the snow :-{{

2:05 pm

I just don't seem to be able to make the breadcrumbs the same.

2:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

when i just called in to say i could not make it to help with tonight's Dawers-Fesit Lucinda Williams concert, I was told Mumford and sons are a special surprise guest. i will NEVER get to see such a stellar lineup again. I ran upstairs to get ready but the sleet has begun again.

2:56 pm

Mom

TO, if the roads are in good shape couldn't you go and just stay in town for the night

3:03 pm

uusue2

jbv and bichon, I hope you both stay safe! and TO! and everyone else who is in the storm!

3:07 pm

hootowl

afternoon peeps - Only thing to worry about in snow is that it's the FIRST of the tear! I remember when I was in NY how amazed I was every year to see the stupid drivers that for some weird reason cannot remember from the year before how to drive in snow!

3:08 pm

uusue2

hi, hoot!

3:08 pm

hootowl

hi sue

3:09 pm

uusue2

I remember when I lived in New Mexico - we would get snow in the mountains but not lower down, so people who didn't really know how to drive in snow didn't have to go very far to find some

3:09 pm

uusue2

quite the scene, it was

3:10 pm

hootowl

I bet! It's fun if your watching but not if your driving!

3:11 pm

uusue2

exactly! we used to have a good time watching out our kitchen window as people came sideways up our (not very steep) hill, having taken the turn at the bottom too fast

3:12 pm

uusue2

they couldn't really hurt themselves (unless they ran into each other, and there usually weren't that many people out and about) but it was rather amusing

3:14 pm

hootowl

my fun was driving to work over the expressway. There was always someone who slid thru the red light at the service road.

3:15 pm

hootowl

we'd wait to see if he made it or got clobbered by the guy coming off the service road.

3:16 pm

hootowl

actually saw someone do that in summer. On his cell, yelling and not looking where he was going. LOTS of horns woke him up!

3:17 pm

thanks, molly!

4:12 pm

MollyL

Hi Sue, did you get your panels fixed?

4:12 pm

uusue2

no, it turns out that they are working so the problem is either in the wiring or the thermostat

4:12 pm

uusue2

either way I will have to call an electrician

4:13 pm

MollyL

Ouch

4:13 pm

uusue2

had to take one off and measure its resistance to see that it was ok :-)

hi again; just got done doing all my running around today.

4:29 pm

MollyL

Hi Nef, have a seat and rest yourself.

4:35 pm

uusue2

<--- should probably be running around but isn't

4:42 pm

Nef

well, I bet you didn't get an email saying you were massively overdrawn today!

4:43 pm

MollyL

Did you get that worked out Nef?

4:43 pm

Nef

Or a call last nightsaying the death certificates had the wrong social security number; etc.......

4:44 pm

Nef

Yes, Molly, I shouldn't have used my personal checking account when dealing with the funeral costs and the fire renovations. I didn't know that before

4:45 pm

MollyL

We learn difficult lessons when dealing with things like this.

4:45 pm

uusue2

oh dear, nef, I hope you can get that sorted out quickly!

4:46 pm

Nef

the wrong SS# on death certificate means that all the financial accounts are wrong and the life insurance will be delayed til they have been corrected (another week or 2)

4:48 pm

uusue2

oh, dear,nef!

4:48 pm

Nef

Luckily, Aunty had me listed on her savings acc't. so I could withdraw from that account and get some $$$ to cover my ready reserve overdraft

4:48 pm

MollyL

It's hard to know what to be prepared to bring with you to make arrangements unless you have the right funeral director who can steer you through that sort of thing.

4:48 pm

uusue2

(oh, I said that already). still, it sounds like a mess - although if you can get it corrected in a week or two that's not TOO bad...

4:51 pm

periwinkle

still snowing here, I am NOT a happy camper

4:51 pm

Nef

the death certificates (you have to order enough original copies to cover banks, insurances, etc. just came yesterday so I'd been to the banks to get an estate account set up. Which is un-useable until we get the new death certs. now

4:51 pm

uusue2

yuck, peri! It is definitely too early for snow.

4:52 pm

Nef

peri, where are you? We have cool weather here in MN but no snow

4:52 pm

MollyL

Nef, I have been through all this and I know what an inordinate pain in the ass it can be.

4:52 pm

uusue2

did you have a chance to look at the forms before they were submitted, nef? (I'm just wondering, if I am ever in the same situation, what to look out for)

4:52 pm

periwinkle

I agree, sue. we have had rain, snow, snow showers, etc. today. and it is sticking to the ground and grass. AAARRRGGGGGG

le 7 pls?

4:54 pm

MollyL

Sue, the best advice I can give you is that if you are ever in the situation of making arrangements for the death of a loved one, have another person with you to double check things.

4:54 pm

periwinkle

I will gladly send you our snow, Nef. hopefully all will be gone tomorrow. it is way too early for snow. barely gotten over the mess from last winter and all that shovelling and ice chopping

4:54 pm

MollyL

le7...zodiac sign + number after eight

4:55 pm

Nef

we'd given the cremation society her medicare card so they could copy down her SS# (medicare# is SS# with an initial after it). Now we have her original SS#; we took both in to the Cremation Society this AM to have them copy it to get it right. We have no idea whose SS# was listed on the death certificate

4:55 pm

big red

thanks again molly

4:55 pm

uusue2

good idea, molly! I assume that I will have to do this eventually for my dad (he is, after all, 90) - he knows how to handle these things but I don't

4:55 pm

majmom

the 2nd ho 7,32 please

4:56 pm

periwinkle

I remember when my bro in law

4:56 pm

uusue2

ah, so the cremation society messed it up - I'd be suggesting to them (very nicely, of course) that they do something to make up for it, such as (at least) covering unexpected expenses that you had (overage fees and the like)

4:56 pm

MollyL

No one knows how to handle these things and if they do, they forget once grief sets in. That is why it is better to have someone with you. Someone a bit removed from the grief.

4:57 pm

periwinkle

yes,it is always good to have someone else look over the forms I found a mistake in one last year when my bro in laws mom died. he was very grateful

4:57 pm

Nef

they will be paying for the new Death Cert. copies (they cost $7 each)

4:58 pm

uusue2

well, that is good at least, nef

5:01 pm

Nef

Both DH and I joked that we hope we got the right ashes now; but that's a whole

5:01 pm

Nef

nother worry

5:02 pm

MollyL

Nef, there will be an identifying tag in the ashes. One can only hope the right tags go with the right ashes.

5:02 pm

uusue2

do you have a plan about what you want to do with her ashes, nef?

5:04 pm

Nef

We've already buried her in the family plot, sue. There are now her parents and 4 daughters in the space of 2 graves (only her father had a traditional burial; her mothers and the 4 (of 5) girls were all cremated

5:05 pm

Nef

Aunty died a month ago today (I just realized that)

5:06 pm

uusue2

(((((nef)))))

5:06 pm

Nef

we're doing okay, sue. Just dealing with these mild aggravations

5:06 pm

big red

majmom did you get the ho7?

5:06 pm

Nef

but thanks

5:09 pm

Nef

sorry, maj; I only have 1 ho7/32 and it's a compound word

5:11 pm

MollyL

That is the second ho7 Nef

5:11 pm

uusue2

clues?

5:11 pm

Nef

oh! :-)

5:12 pm

big red

the first ho7?

5:12 pm

Nef

not cold and straight ****

5:12 pm

uusue2

ah. thx, nef!

5:13 pm

MollyL

First ho7 sounds like a t word that means a downpour of rain. Double consonant in the middle.

5:13 pm

Nef

thanks Molly

5:13 pm

uusue2

ah - makes a word if you put ab- in front of it

5:13 pm

uusue2

and thank you, molly!

Not sure what velveeta fudge is, but liking the sound of it...

6:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yuck.

6:09 pm

cosdem

6:09 pm

uusue2

isn't there a recipe for ham cooked with Coke, or something like that?

6:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know someone who made a kugel (I hate kugel by the way) with a secret ingredient. Everyone wolfed it down and said it was the best kugel ever

6:10 pm

Deeha

and dont forget Kallia it is only just gone midnight because the clocks have gone back - its really just gone 1

6:10 pm

cosdem

sue, i marinate pork chops with pepsi and mayo

6:10 pm

MollyL

Oh where oh where is Ruru. Yes, many recipes for various meats cooked with Coke.

6:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

and then she revealed that the secret ingredient was velveeta.

6:10 pm

Nef

what is kugel?

6:10 pm

uusue2

uh-oh, kap, I am waiting for the other shoe to drop

6:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

WHAT IS KUGEL???????????

6:10 pm

cosdem

6:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Google kugel.

6:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Then kugel google.

6:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

VELVEETA!

6:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

as a rule I don't like ashkenazi foods.

6:12 pm

cosdem

brb getting some velveeta fudge now that im craving it

6:12 pm

uusue2

lol, kap! (I'll bet it did taste good, too)

6:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am the only person I know who can't abide latkes.

6:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have to leave the house when they are cooking.

6:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did Nef google kugel? I just love that.

6:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

noodle google.

6:13 pm

cosdem

en8 anyone?

6:13 pm

uusue2

6:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

to put the queen on her proper seat is en8.

6:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

NO I DON'T LIKE LATKES.

6:14 pm

Nef

I did google kugel, Kap. It's about the 3rd thing I've googled from here in just over an hour.

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But rubyfoo doesn't like chocolate and that is more heinous.

6:14 pm

cosdem

thanks kap

6:14 pm

uusue2

true, kap

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

YVW.

6:14 pm

cosdem

babble and google go together like pea and carrots

6:14 pm

uusue2

and I suppose I would have less of a weight problem if I didn't like EVERYTHING

6:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't like any food that turns paper towels translucent from the oil content

6:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

pea and carrot?

6:15 pm

Kallia

yuck....is there food that does that?

6:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Latkes.

6:16 pm

uusue2

any food with a lot of fat in it, kallia

6:16 pm

Kallia

I have no idea what they are

6:16 pm

cosdem

potato pancakes

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They are supposed to be very oily because the Chanukah theme involves oil. And I am getting very close to the PB.

6:17 pm

uusue2

better be careful, kap, there is velveeta fudge in there!

6:17 pm

Kallia

ah ..potato scones...sort of. But they aren't oily

6:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

no, they are fried in the skillet.

6:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Eaten with applesauce or sour cream. Neither of which I like.

6:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But other people love them.

6:18 pm

uusue2

my Israeli relatives eat sufganiyot (sp?) instead

6:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sufganyot are...doughnuts.

6:19 pm

Nef

Kap; I grew up in a very small town with just Catholics and 2 types of Lutherans. There used to be a very good Jewish deli in one of the MPLS. suburbs that we went to occasionally; but it was torn down and I haven't had the time or a chance to find another one. I'm very unaware of a lot of ethnic foods and terms because of this.

6:19 pm

uusue2

I know.

6:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Why don't we have any traditions where we get to eat healthy food?

6:19 pm

uusue2

and it will still be Hanukkah when we get to Israel so maybe we will have some

6:19 pm

Kallia

ok enough of struggling with this...going to go read my book

6:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know you know.

6:20 pm

Kallia

goodnight all

6:20 pm

uusue2

apples and honey aren't too bad

6:20 pm

uusue2

night, kallia!

6:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Like lenny Bruce said...

6:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I can't believe we're talking Hannukah- it must be because of the snow. My daughter is coming home from her trimester in Israel before Thanksgiving.

6:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

How about a holiday where you eat...salad?

6:22 pm

MollyL

Cos...the Forest Gump of Babble. : P

6:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Actually, there is a fruit one. And a few where you don't eat at all- that can be healthy.

6:22 pm

cosdem

lol someone gets it finally

6:23 pm

MollyL

I saw a hilarious picture yesterday that had the caption: ALCOHOL! Because no good story ever began with eating salad.

6:23 pm

cosdem

and usually when i make a joke, its molly who gets it lol :)

6:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Molly gets everything. I didn't see Forest Gump.

6:24 pm

cosdem

ahh that explains it lol

6:24 pm

cosdem

forrest gump is a movie thats only good the first time you watch it.

6:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Maybe it gets good again the eighth time you watch it- who knows?

6:25 pm

MollyL

No, it's because I have two sons around Cos's age who both have the same sense of humor he does.

6:25 pm

cosdem

lol maybe

6:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

my house is more of a zoo than usual because we are putting in new kitchen cabinets, which involves ripping apart the entire kitchen. New sink too.

6:26 pm

uusue2

I watched Forrest Gump for the first time this August with my dad.

6:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It is a construction zone right now.

6:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So I have been hiding out in the studio. I haven't been outside since noon yesterday.

6:27 pm

MollyL

And the light went on, and Sue finally understood all the "life is like a box of chocolates" jokes and the "stupid is as stupid does" comments. : )

6:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Weather keeps up like this, I won't be out again till April.

6:28 pm

uusue2

there you go, molly :-)

6:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I understand nothing.

6:28 pm

MollyL

<---Daydreams about new kitchen cabinets and new kitchen counter tops.

6:28 pm

cosdem

tom hanks is extremely overrated.

6:28 pm

movieman

Anyone planning on seeing the Tintin movie?

6:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You should see what we have been living with. Disintegration.

6:28 pm

uusue2

boy, wouldn't that be nice, molly?

6:29 pm

cosdem

movieman- i will when its out on dvd.

6:29 pm

uusue2

I got new cabinets a few years ago but they were cheap and are already coming apart

6:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

One kid wouldn't have her friends over because of the kitchen.

6:29 pm

uusue2

and I never could afford countertops; they are plywood sitting on top of the no-longer-new cabinets

6:29 pm

movieman

I saw it at the cinema, and I really enjoyed it

6:29 pm

MollyL

I think one of Tom Hanks best roles was in "The Green Mile".

6:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We're going to have a porcelain sink- and an actual bin for compost, instead of letting it rot in a bucket.

6:30 pm

cosdem

its a speilberg production isn't it?

6:30 pm

movieman

What about 'Big', molly?

6:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We coldn't afford it either- pulled some money out in the refinancing because I threateded to move out.

6:30 pm

MollyL

A porcelain sink in your kitchen? *Drools*

6:30 pm

uusue2

nice, kap! I like the compost bin, we have the bucket (fortunately with a lid, still...)

6:30 pm

cosdem

hanks' best was the burbs :)

6:30 pm

movieman

Yes it was directed by Spielberg, and produced by Peter Jackson cos

6:31 pm

uusue2

ah, good idea, kap! I can't refinance because my ex left too many projects unfinished, and I can't afford to finish them either.

6:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Spielberg: Closer Counter tops of the third kind.

6:31 pm

uusue2

I figure sooner or later the house will burn down and I can start over.

6:31 pm

movieman

Two of my fave movie makers working in tandem

6:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That's been pretty much my attitude. Whoever talked me into homeownership...

6:32 pm

movieman

Anyone else tried to enter 'teflon'?

6:32 pm

cosdem

huh it doesnt work

6:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, I tried meteor.

6:32 pm

uusue2

trade name, cos

6:33 pm

cosdem

ah okay. blah

6:33 pm

cosdem

the wizard's a word though

6:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

yeah, but ro4 is a proper name, isn't it? Remember when people used to go get ro4 treatments?

6:33 pm

movieman

It's also a species of falcon

6:33 pm

uusue2

yeah, I found him earlier.

6:34 pm

cosdem

oooh i just monkeyed the in8... since i had the en8

6:34 pm

uusue2

I do, kap!

6:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

6:34 pm

movieman

The me6 kaplan

6:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It was in the era of EST and sensitivity training.

6:34 pm

uusue2

6:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And wife swapping.

6:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh.

6:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I had that- I thought it was a bird.

6:35 pm

movieman

It is kap

6:35 pm

uusue2

gotta go drop the kid off so I can have the car, we have a play to go to this evening, back later (or maybe tomorrow)

6:35 pm

movieman

It's a species of falcon

6:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never understood why you can reti4 but not reto4.

6:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

6:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hello Babblers

7:50 pm

stidmama

hey all, down to 150...

7:51 pm

Nef

Hi wht and stid! It's pretty quiet here right now

7:54 pm

stidmama

nothing wrong with quiet... we had a lovely, sunny day and I was able to get outside several times although I didn't do any actual work out there. If the rain holds off tomorrow, I will try to do a few things in the morning.

7:54 pm

stidmama

how are you doing Nef? all healed up and running marathons again?

7:55 pm

wht

Had a nice day myself, but now it is snowing. This is so wrong.

7:56 pm

wht

Name that movie star in today's grid.

7:57 pm

stidmama

sorry it's snowing, wht -- seems a bit early, even for you folks.

7:57 pm

stidmama

ah, tom made me a pizza!!! I shall return once I have made a pig of myself... *oink oink*

7:58 pm

Nef

It's way too early for snow ! We don't have snow here in MN; but I hear it's been snowing in PA today

7:58 pm

Nef

and stid; my hip is healed and better than new

7:59 pm

wht

The problem with the snow is that there are still leaves on the trees, so there is likely to be a lot of broken branches, especially when the wind picks up later.

8:00 pm

Nef

how much snow are you expecting?

8:00 pm

wht

We have an inch or so right outside Boston, but it is supposed to snow all night.

8:00 pm

wht

They are talking about 4-6 inches here.

8:01 pm

Nef

YUK! We had cool weather here and have clear skies tonight. No snow in our forecast!

8:01 pm

jmcnrick

okay i am in need of some thesaurus help with this crowd

8:02 pm

jmcnrick

i wrote a sentence that said that people confuse tact with being wishy-washy or mealy mouth and my sister changed it to equivical which is not really what i mean

8:02 pm

jmcnrick

HELP!

8:03 pm

crosshair

i deem wishy-wasy as being ina state where you are weak in being decicive,easily swayed by others

8:03 pm

Nef

obique?

8:04 pm

crosshair

lol@ king typo crossy

8:04 pm

wht

And I take mealy-mouthed to mean saying what people want to hear.

8:04 pm

Nef

cowardly?

8:05 pm

crosshair

introvertive?

8:05 pm

Nef

you are trying to say that tact is confused with not being honest or???

8:06 pm

wht

And equivocal means ambiguous, or uncertain.

8:06 pm

jmcnrick

yes wht--like some quakers who will go nameless the ones that don't want to be seen as mean

8:06 pm

crosshair

tack i think is more of being careful and weighing your responses carefully to avoid misinterpetation or misunderstanding

8:06 pm

pigeonman

th7?

8:07 pm

jmcnrick

so mealy mouthed is probably not it either

8:07 pm

jmcnrick

sorry pigeon i don't have it

8:07 pm

wht

Tact is also speaking carefully so as not to offend, but it does not imply dishonesty.

8:08 pm

crosshair

no,it is careful thought and responses

8:08 pm

crosshair

i have many friends in the first nations and they are a very deliberate people,they take time and weigh questions and responses in a way we do not

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

that is my point i think wht i want to contrast and compare to people who won't fire someone they think is totally incompetent because they don't want to hurt anyone's feelings

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

tact to me is truth telling as kindly as possible

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

i like the concept of first nations rather native americans crossy but we will leave that conversation to another day

8:10 pm

wht

exactly, jmc

8:10 pm

jmcnrick

so what is the opposite of that wht?

8:10 pm

crosshair

well since our original peoples are not native americans..that term does not apply..hence they chose the term first nations people for themselves

8:10 pm

jmcnrick

not the rude opposite but the nontruth telling overly nice

8:11 pm

crosshair

same with innuit

8:11 pm

jmcnrick

last time i checked canada was in north america but

8:11 pm

stidmama

back. good to hear about the hip, nef!

8:11 pm

stidmama

I think tact sounds like the right word, jmc.

8:11 pm

crosshair

well untill we become the northern states of america vive la differance;)

8:11 pm

jmcnrick

maybe that is the term i should use--the overly nice?

8:12 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

8:12 pm

Minveryork

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

8:12 pm

8:12 pm

jmcnrick

8:13 pm

wht

There is always the ever popular "idiots", jmc. :^)

8:13 pm

jmcnrick

"I find many people confuse tactfulness with being overly nice." ?? what do you think?

8:13 pm

jmcnrick

8:13 pm

Minveryork

Thank you crosshair. I have returned after ni 4/4 as I promised in my story of clues. Debating if I want to finish this grid tonight or not. I have 35 more words.

8:14 pm

jmcnrick

hi min!

8:14 pm

stidmama

Sounds good to me, jmc. I think you could turn it around and make the case for being forthright and open, both of which I believe are also qualities that are valued in the quaker community?

8:14 pm

stidmama

hey Min!

8:14 pm

Minveryork

Hello jmcnrick! How are your 2 walls and floor holding up?Any more updates on the house renovations today

Jellen

Good luck on the job!

9:47 pm

mrpresident

on ya jmc... jobs are good things

9:48 pm

jmcnrick

at this point i wouldn't know mr p ;-)

9:48 pm

mrpresident

oh i have gossip!! straight from the horses mouth of course! My friend came over this morning... she was sacked from her job for willful misconduct

9:48 pm

jmcnrick

oh dear! too bad for her

9:49 pm

Nef

Fingers, toes and all possible body parts crossed for you!

9:50 pm

mrpresident

yeah, very sad cause she didn't deserve it, and she will be paid out about 6 months pay

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

ty nef--i didn't use your words but used "overly nice

9:50 pm

JenMO16

willful misconduct?

9:50 pm

rururocks

work isn't all it's cracked up to be jmc trust me on that

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

after all i was trying to prove how tactful i could be

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

hi jen

9:50 pm

JenMO16

hi jm

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

haha easy to say if you a spouse with a job ru

9:51 pm

Nef

hi Jen

9:51 pm

rururocks

run that by me again jmc

9:51 pm

mrpresident

willfull misconduct... they accused her of harassment, didn't show her any proof of it and threatened her legally to resign or be fired with no reference

9:51 pm

Jellen

Hi, Jen

9:51 pm

mrpresident

now, you ready for this??

9:51 pm

JenMO16

wow mrp, hi jellen

9:52 pm

mrpresident

her boss (who runs a childcare centre) has her 19 year old son and his 20 year old best friend working at the centre with Tara (my friend who got sacked)

9:52 pm

JenMO16

yes, mrp

9:52 pm

rururocks

oh.. I get it

9:52 pm

jesdraggon

evening all

9:52 pm

mrpresident

The two boys are really bad at looking after the kids and parents started to write in to the boss, saying that the young boys were bad for the kids

9:53 pm

jmcnrick

sorry didn't think it was that deep ru!

9:53 pm

jmcnrick

hi jes

9:53 pm

Jellen

Hi, jes

9:53 pm

JenMO16

hi jes

9:53 pm

Nef

hi jes

9:53 pm

JenMO16

and who did she harrass, the guys?

9:54 pm

mrpresident

the boss, took that as a threat from Tara, as she had said that many of the parents were upset with her son and friend, and had told Tara they would be writing to the centre...
They took this as meaning that Tara had made them write in... ergo, harassment

9:54 pm

Nef

Oh wow, mrp! That is so weird!

9:55 pm

jmcnrick

i trust she speaks to a lawyer

9:55 pm

mrpresident

So, the parents write in, saying all positive things about Tara and Claire and another lady that works there, but pointing out all the bad influence and lack of care the boys have provided

9:56 pm

JenMO16

i am sure the parents will be complaining to the right person mrp.

9:56 pm

mrpresident

the next day, Tara is sacked, no evidence, no warning, and she got employer of the month out of 14 centres last month!!

9:57 pm

mrpresident

Jen, the parents complained to the boss about her own son!! She didn't like that and sacked Tara for 'allowing' the parents to feel that her darling son was a problem

9:57 pm

mrpresident

Tara has evidence of telling her boss about her son's behaviour (bad behaviour) and a day later she is sacked

9:59 pm

mrpresident

My favourite?? you ready??
The bosses son, in front of all the little kids at the daycare centre, put a plastic bag over his head and pretended to choke himself... he offers the little kids $2 if they can hit him... he tells the kids, 'let's not tell Ms Tara about this!' when the kids here him swearing at other children.

10:00 pm

jesdraggon

sounds like a place she's better off not working at

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

but not a bad place to sue and win money from

10:01 pm

mrpresident

hi jes (hugs)

I think the centre needs to be closed down... cause guess who is running the place now??

Yep, the two young boys.

10:01 pm

mrpresident

She will win her case, no doubt, and get 6 months pay out of it. She feels sorry for the kids though, they are not getting the care at all.

10:02 pm

Nef

I have a friend whose Pilates instructor is going through a similar situation; the court case is coming up in Nov. and it looks like the boss (who DID sue her) will end up paying a lot of $$$ to my friends Pilates instructor for defamation of character, loss of income, etc.

10:02 pm

jesdraggon

well, when all the parents who complained about them leave, the owner won't have much choice left.

10:03 pm

Flask1

with all the troubles you've had lately (MrP) am surprised you can bothered with it......however its obvious your gaining a lot of pleasure from other folks mysery!!

10:03 pm

mrpresident

Even better, she got a letter on her 'dismissal' saying she was not allowed to contact any of the personel of the centre.... ie, they know and can back her up but she is being legally threatened if she does get statements

10:03 pm

JenMO16

correct, nef

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

well they actually have no legal basis to say that to her so she should go ahead and get the statements

10:04 pm

jesdraggon

that's just flat bs. they can't dictate who she talks to. all they can do on dismissal is tell her not to come back to their premises.

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

does the fe8 build on the fe4 before it?

10:04 pm

mrpresident

exactly nef... that is what Tara will end up with... and I will support her all the way. She has been my best friend for 8 years, and what they are dismissing her for is rubbish

10:04 pm

Jellen

No, jmc

10:05 pm

jmcnrick

ty jell

10:05 pm

mrpresident

jmc, that is right... and I advised her this morning on that... get the statements from the personel, they can't stop people talking

10:05 pm

Jellen

Want a clue? It's weird...

10:05 pm

jmcnrick

hmm yes that would be nice

10:06 pm

JenMO16

when i was let go from childcare, i got challenged by unemployment, got a lawyer because the school claimed i abused the kids, yelled at them, yada, yada, anyways, i ended up winning my case and kept all of my unemployment money, i then left childcare because of burnout

10:06 pm

Jellen

f + me***ol cigarettes + charged particle

10:06 pm

mrpresident

She was here for a couple of hours telling me the details, and i can help her with this one.... I have helped family and friends with unfair dismissal several times and they have always won.

10:06 pm

jmcnrick

ty i would have never monkeyed that--my monkeys are not that clever

10:07 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, jellen

10:07 pm

mrpresident

oh jen!! so sorry ! Sounds like you and Tara know what it is like to be accused and abused.

10:07 pm

JenMO16

yep

10:07 pm

JenMO16

is everyone in the New England states ok after the storm??

10:08 pm

mrpresident

I am a particular person... no matter what is happening in my life, if I see something being done to a friend that is unjust, I will stand up for them 100%.

10:08 pm

jmcnrick

wht seemed okay

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

hmm i spend a lot of time trying to get people to stand up for themselves and to see the best in the people around them

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

i always assume that people mean well but i don't let them roll over me

10:09 pm

mrpresident

it is a catch 22 jmc... i know what you mean

10:10 pm

JenMO16

oh yeah, forgot to mention, way to go Cardinals!

10:10 pm

jesdraggon

stats for the e in the lower left please?

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

for example the child care center director may well believe his/her son's version of the story and just didn't handle things well

10:10 pm

11:04 pm

Nef

I agree. And for some reason there was a lag and I lost some words!

11:05 pm

mrpresident

11:06 pm

Nef

I made it through the T's though! :-)

11:07 pm

mrpresident

11:13 pm

Nef

BTW, how are you doing these days? Did "the prick" back off? I've been praying for you guys

11:15 pm

mrpresident

doing ok nef.... Prick is in court again in 1 month with me. He has not done anything that has affected me directly for almost 2 months now... but he will push for something closer to the court date.

11:16 pm

Nef

How are You holding up with all of this?

11:18 pm

mrpresident

Nef, I just don't care anymore... about anything. I think that is sad, cause it is difficult to move forward with my life with this shitehead around me.

11:18 pm

Nef

how's Lickety doing?

11:19 pm

Nef

And the kids?

11:20 pm

mrpresident

Lickety is very quiet, not talking.
The kids are ok, Maddi is upset of course and taking it out on me, but I am the only stablity in her life right now. Luke just keeps it all in.

11:21 pm

Nef

((((mrp and family)))) I'm so sorry this is all happening

11:22 pm

mrpresident

so am I nef, so am I

11:23 pm

Nef

there are so many people her and around the world sending you prayers and thoughts to get through this. Please remember that

11:24 pm

mrpresident

thanks Nef, I truly do feel it too, I really do. ((hugs))

11:24 pm

herinfernallady

11:24 pm

mrpresident

11:24 pm

herinfernallady

How you?>

11:26 pm

mrpresident

bloody marvellous, for a Sunday. brb, need to find something for dinner :))

11:26 pm

herinfernallady

balls I forgot to take food out of the freezer

11:27 pm

Nef

not finishing this @#$% grid for one! I'm doing better tonight but was very upset this AM; The social security number on the death certificates was wrong and that delays any financial payments for Aunty's bills. I got an email from the bank this AM saying I'd overdrawn my account by about $1000

11:28 pm

herinfernallady

O damn NEf

11:29 pm

stidmama

oh Nef, that's so awful!

11:30 pm

Nef

I spent the day running to banks and going to the cremation society to get that all taken care of. Luckily, Aunty had listed me on the one savings account so I was able to get enough out to cover that overdraft. A word of advice: if you have someone die; never use your own bank account to pay their bills!

11:32 pm

stidmama

Good advice.

11:32 pm

Nef

I'm dealing with 3 banks; 4 checking accounts and 3 savings accounts. Mix that with grief and it was sort of bound to happen. I can't even remember what bills of ours I've paid this past month!

11:33 pm

uusue2

hi again, all, just got back from seeing a play

11:33 pm

stidmama

hey sue

11:33 pm

uusue2

one of the perks of being at a university - cheap theatre!

11:33 pm

herinfernallady

My parents have got everything sorted

11:33 pm

uusue2

hi, stid!!

11:33 pm

stidmama

oh Nef, that's hard. I wouldn't even know where to begin with our own accounts if something happened to Tom.

11:33 pm

Nef

Seriously, I normally have a good system (I don't let DH pay bills!) but this past month I didn't record it when I paid the bills.

11:34 pm

herinfernallady

HI Sue

11:34 pm

uusue2

hi, herin!

11:35 pm

Nef

Just make sure someone's name is on all accounts either as beneficiary or joint accounts and it makes life a whole lot easier

11:35 pm

herinfernallady

My parents have made sure they have everything organised as they don't want to be my responsibility

11:35 pm

Nef

what play did you see, sue?

11:35 pm

stidmama

When I did our bills I would write everything both in the register (this was pre-computer) AND on the part of the bill that I kept for our files. Saved me a couple times from paying twice!

11:35 pm

uusue2

we saw Winters Tale, which is one of the less frequently performed of Shakespeare's plays

11:35 pm

uusue2

it was very good - modern setting, very well done

11:36 pm

stidmama

I think I saw that one, but it would have been close to 30 years ago when I was toward the end of high school.

11:36 pm

Nef

I love Winters Tale (actually all of Shakespeare's plays)

11:36 pm

karana

cheese!!!!!!1

11:36 pm

herinfernallady

O I haven't been online much as the internet is lame

11:37 pm

Nef

stid; I usually write in the register and on the bill when I paid them. Don't know why I didn't this month; but I sat down and paid a bunch and mixed them with the unpaid bills

11:37 pm

stidmama

I may have to bail with well over 50 still to go. I am so tired. I don't travel well, and didn't take a nap today so I would be sleepy enough at a normal time. I am glad to be home, but wow I am getting very little done.

11:37 pm

uusue2

at some point I will have to talk to my dad about his accounts although I think he still has everything going to my stepmother (which in a way is good as that makes it not my problem)

11:38 pm

uusue2

well, it is good to see you, stid! and I have given up barely past half way

11:38 pm

stidmama

oh, I know how that goes, Nef -- I am sure you'll get things figured out.

11:38 pm

uusue2

(except when people kindly put words in the chat)

11:39 pm

Nef

28 to go; but I'm calling it quits I think.

11:39 pm

uusue2

night, nef!

11:39 pm

stidmama

It is good to see you also, sue -- I was feeling a little out of touch with all my babble friends

11:39 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams, nef - I hope tomorrow things are easier!

11:40 pm

Nef

stid, you'll have to tell us about your trip later.

11:42 pm

stidmama

yes, remind me!

11:42 pm

stidmama

anyway, I am outta here. sweet dreams and happy days, all! *poof*
