Hey Ruby, just come back in....hows things over your way?

3:00 am

rubyfoo

hello diz! It is starting to feel like Christmas -- snow on the mountains and cold here in the valley. Fires every afternoon.

3:01 am

rubyfoo

Aside from that, I'm not remotely ready!

3:01 am

rubyfoo

How about you?

3:03 am

dizgrannie

Me, I'm all prepared, just waiting till Xmas eve to do all the cooking etc. The weather here is really weird, tis supposed to be summer but we are wearing semi winter clothes

3:03 am

rubyfoo

that must be nice -- better than bathing suits at Christmas!

3:06 am

dizgrannie

LOL am used to the bathing suits. I always cook Xmas eve and have a buffet style food Xmas day so I am not stuck in the kitchen all day and I can enjoy the g/kids

3:06 am

rubyfoo

sounds smart to me. Are you close to the ocean?

3:10 am

dizgrannie

no, about 45 mins drive away, but close enough, but dtr has a backyard pool.

3:10 am

rubyfoo

aaah, so nicew!

3:15 am

dizgrannie

Ruby, what are you doing for THE day. Hope Mr Ruby is good enough to enjoy it

3:16 am

rubyfoo

it will be very quiet. Just us and lots of food. My son just took a new job (3 wks ago), so he had to cancel his visit

3:16 am

rubyfoo

Mr. Ruby is trying to be a good boy, but is very depressed.

3:17 am

rubyfoo

we'll just have neighbors in for drinks for most of that week

3:18 am

dizgrannie

sorry 'bout your son (but congrats to him) tell Mr Ruby to join the chat on Babble...LOL (joking), does he use the 'puter?

3:19 am

rubyfoo

he uses it, but barely. Just writes to one daughter and a couple of friends and does banking.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

He's not a game-player, unfortunately

3:19 am

rubyfoo

he won't even play scrabble with me!

3:21 am

dizgrannie

get him to do Facebook, only for the games, my hubby just does that, and spends about an hour every so often each day to break the boredom.

3:21 am

rubyfoo

I got him into facebook, but he won't use it, even for photos of his great-grandkids!

3:21 am

dizgrannie

... Dear Dr. God ... the game allows every other unit of currency in the world ... but not the Canadian "loonie" and "toonie" ... ... not fair!

5:55 am

doseffing

... oh well

5:55 am

MollyL

I agree Dose. Not to mention it accepts Australian slang for afternoon (arvo). I have no idea what the discretion point is for Enable.

5:56 am

Dachef

the babble dictionary most certainly needs an update. However, I've become rather fond of the quirks of enable. And also, we'd have nothing to moan about then.

5:57 am

doseffing

... it just can't be too slangy ...

5:57 am

MollyL

Ah, not too slangy. Got it. : )

5:58 am

doseffing

... by the way ... it doesn't like "slangy" either ... ... I'm not good at making up words this morning

5:58 am

jtdp

clue for ar/8 please anyone

5:59 am

7:35 am

Trifioso

crossy, honey, just checked my email....there does not seem to be an attachment - is the book embedded?

7:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

Book better than movie.

7:35 am

crosshair

the tom goodwin story was very,very hard to find in print

7:35 am

uusue2

morning, all!

7:35 am

crosshair

7:35 am

crosshair

howdy suze!!

7:36 am

uusue2

hi, crossy!

7:36 am

GreyWoulf

I agree with you there, Kaplan -- but books are usually better because you have more time to set the scene and make your point

7:36 am

crosshair

ill send it again trif

7:36 am

sprite

hi Kaplan, hi uusue

7:36 am

uusue2

hi, sprite!

7:37 am

Trif, wouldn't it be great if we could read the stories together... legs on the couch, chocolate and booze handy :)

7:38 am

crosshair

give it 5 min sprite and let me know if you still do not have them

7:38 am

Trifioso

there we go! thanks again crossy

7:38 am

GreyWoulf

Cold Equation is so haunting because it is perhaps the earliest example of what is called today, Hard SF

7:38 am

uusue2

<--- would totally join trif and sprite

7:38 am

crosshair

np trif

7:38 am

sprite

I will, crossy :)

7:38 am

sprite

you'd be totally welcome, uusue!

7:39 am

uusue2

Cold Equation? Sounds like something I should look up! I love SF!!

7:39 am

sprite

crossy, you are pretty adept with calibre, aren't you? Do you know how to 'enter' the text so as to make changes, corrections, etc?

7:39 am

crosshair

indeed woulf,while azimov was famous for his "zinger" endings

7:39 am

crosshair

very hard to find in print sue.if you give me an addy ill send it to you now

7:40 am

GreyWoulf

I think it was collected in one of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame anthologies -- which were reissued recently, so it may be a bit easier to find again

7:40 am

crosshair

i have not explored it all that deeply sprite and make my corrections manually

7:40 am

Trifioso

oh dear....breaking news....they just interrupted the tv program to say a young woman in her late teens has just been abducted in a walmart parking lot. witnesses saw a man grab her, stuff her into a pickup truck and take off. everyone, please, take a moment to say a prayer for this young woman....

7:40 am

sprite

how do you do that?

7:41 am

uusue2

btw, for any sf fans out there, our university library just got the works of Fred Saberhagen

7:41 am

crosshair

last i saw it was long ago in a azimov collection where he was guest author and commented on each..think it was called "space mail"

7:41 am

sprite

omg... how awful. Prayers going up now.

7:41 am

Trifioso

thanks sprite. scary stuff

7:42 am

GreyWoulf

When I was in grade school, I used to refer to Asimov, Bradbury, and Clarke as my holy trinity of SF... with Heinlein as their prophet :-)

7:42 am

crosshair

trif.we have the amber alert in place here and i am sure all the info will be posted all along our large highways leading into the states

7:42 am

sprite

very scary. I so hate violence.

7:42 am

sprite

yay Woulf :D Can I raid your book shelves please!

7:42 am

uusue2

I am with you, Greywoulf - my first SF book was Heinlein

7:43 am

crosshair

bradbury rocked.if you can,get his hardcover called dark carnival by arkham house

7:43 am

uusue2

crossy, you can send it to me at uusuzanne at yahoo

7:43 am

sprite

my first SF was Asimov. But Heinlein's "The moon is a harsh mistress" I have read to pieces, literally.

7:43 am

crosshair

will send now sue

7:43 am

GreyWoulf

anytime, sprite -- though my library is much reduced from what it once was -- I needed to make room in my small apartment for the kids books

7:43 am

uusue2

~~~please~~~

7:44 am

sprite

one of the reasons I gave in to an e-reader, Woulf. Saves space!

7:44 am

uusue2

our univ. library is a repository for the SFWA (science fiction writers of america) - when I retire I am going to park myself in the rare books and special collections area and read everything

7:44 am

GreyWoulf

what I find fascinating about Bradbury is that most of his science was in the background of many of his stories... mostly he (and Charles Beaumont) were writing about being human

7:45 am

GreyWoulf

NIce, usue.... that sounds awesome

7:45 am

crosshair

ok sue..books have been sent

7:45 am

crosshair

sprite,did you get them yet

7:46 am

uusue2

7:46 am

Oh... and my daughter is picking up the SF bug at the tender age of 8... she found my copy of 'The Guide to Larry Niven's Ringworld' by Kevin Stein that was published in 1994.... and has now decided to start reading Ringworld for herself

7:48 am

crosshair

good thing he could write..azimov was a goofy looking fella;0

7:52 am

uusue2

and hi and bye, jac!

7:53 am

GreyWoulf

my intro to Bradbury was 'R is for Rocket' and 'S is for Space'... I would love to find copies of them again for her.

7:53 am

sprite

crossy, now they made it! Thanks again and I will read and weep.

7:53 am

crosshair

there we go,nothing like making half a dozen laides a weeping mess before lunch:)

7:53 am

crosshair

good bradbury story

7:54 am

sprite

I have R for Rocket as epub, Woulf

7:54 am

GreyWoulf

And unfortunately, I need to go... that horrible work thing... I got stuck because there was a cold snap last night and my car locks froze... I have been waiting for it to thaw

7:54 am

sprite

it was lovely to see you again, Woulf. *hug* for you, your love and your kids.

7:55 am

uusue2

bye, woulf! Drive carefully!

7:55 am

crosshair

7:57 am

sprite

those rats are getting smarter all the time, don't they. Now they can even ring you up.

7:59 am

crosshair

going though my list..thank god for ereaders,or i would have no room for furniture in the house

8:00 am

uusue2

indeed, crossy! My house is still piled high with books but the e-reader is VERY nice for traveling

8:00 am

sprite

the asimov story I mean is named "Jokester". Am still looking.

8:01 am

crosshair

and so affordable now,the one i got the mrs right at the start of the ereader craze cost me $450.00 now you can get a kobo touch for 99 bucks lol

8:01 am

sprite

mine was even cheaper. Only 60 euro.

8:02 am

crosshair

but her old sony prs 700 model still has options that the new ones do not

8:03 am

crosshair

built in side lighting,sd and micro sd ports and usb and 110 volt charging options and was the first full touch screen

8:04 am

crosshair

it was short lived because the three screen layers gave it a matte finish for reading and some did not care for it

8:04 am

Gail

I just got a Kindle from my son yesterday. He's hoping it will stop the books from coming into the house.

8:04 am

crosshair

e-ink layer,lighting layer and touch layer

8:05 am

crosshair

very nice gail

8:05 am

Gail

I'm pleased.

8:05 am

crosshair

well he better get you a 500 dollar amazon gift card to go with it then:)

8:05 am

Gail

I know, he will have to do that.

8:06 am

crosshair

cause crossy cannot send you books if you own a kindle;((((

8:06 am

sprite

found it... will send it later, crossy

8:06 am

crosshair

ok sprite:0

8:06 am

crosshair

np

8:06 am

Gail

Yeah, I'm sorry. But I do have friends who have them and I will get books from them. and from my library.

8:06 am

sprite

hi Gail, nice gift

8:06 am

crosshair

good stuff

8:07 am

sprite

fireflies!

8:07 am

Gail

I am going to be busy this weekend, loading it up.

8:07 am

crosshair

yaa for sprite!!

8:07 am

crosshair

your first reader gail??

8:07 am

wvteach

congrats sprite

8:08 am

Gail

Yes, I finally caved and said I wanted one. I love my books so much.

8:08 am

crosshair

gail.it will take you a week,maybe 2 at the outside and you will wonder how you mlived without one

8:09 am

Gail

That's what I am told. I think it won't take me that long. I can be happy reading a cereal box.

8:10 am

crosshair

as far as i know,kindles still do not take epub files or i would send you 100 books or so to get you rolling

8:10 am

uusue2

ok, got the stories, crossy, thanks! (and downloaded an unrar program so I could unpack them...)

8:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't want a kindle or nook- which is what I said about cell phones. I assume I will be stuck with one within a decade.

8:11 am

crosshair

go with the nook kaplan

8:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

I DON'T WANT ONE

8:11 am

crosshair

sorry sue,thought everyone had a zip and a rar program;))

8:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

tick tick tick

8:12 am

crosshair

then do not get one lol

8:12 am

Gail

That would be great. I will be having some fun this weekend, though. I know I can get older books free on Amazon.

8:12 am

hurshy

i don't think kindles will be as forced upon us as cell phones

8:12 am

uusue2

have zip but not rar, crossy (well, now I have rar!)

8:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

I wouldn't have wanted a model-T.

8:12 am

crosshair

crossy lovingly strokes his nook reader which has 400 books,200 songs about 150 pictures and all my pesonal work files all in it,s loving embrace

8:13 am

crosshair

rar is handy for moving large files around suze

8:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think the paradigm has already shifted.

8:13 am

hurshy

however, i like mine. it is preserving my books that i've read dozens of time from utter falling apart. and when i'm reading a fat book, as i often do, on my side in bed, it is way easier with the kindle, esp at the beginning and end of the book, when all the weight is on one side.

8:13 am

crosshair

lol,glad it shifted for you..cigarette?

8:13 am

crosshair

lol

8:14 am

Gail

I wish I had been able to have one back when I had a job that required lots of travel. All thos books were heavy to carry. I had to settle for audio books back then.

8:14 am

crosshair

that was one of my big problems hursh.my library is a tattered mess

8:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

The paradigm has shifted on a broad scale. Books are already seen as an antiquated form.

8:14 am

sprite

hi hursh

8:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

And scrolls? Forget about it!

8:15 am

hurshy

hey spritey :)

8:15 am

crosshair

scrolls,i still have wax glyph tablets!!

8:15 am

sprite

uusue: 7-zip is a free and good unzipper/unrarrer.

8:16 am

sprite

I still use sign language. Me tarzan you jane.

8:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have a sumerian brick.

8:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

Really I do. With cuneiform.

8:16 am

crosshair

mm,showoff

8:16 am

hurshy

that's gotta be worth a freakin' lot of money

8:17 am

crosshair

good thing is,you know it is a first edition

8:17 am

crosshair

a real pain to convert to epub though...

8:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

I can't find the proper dealer/auction house. Too small for Skinner

8:17 am

hurshy

no you don't! with cuneiform there's only ONE first edition and the rest are all copies.

8:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

It is not a copy. My dad got it in Iraq during WWII. Reasearch has shown that it is a document about land ownership, and is a full sentence.

8:19 am

crosshair

anyways,have to go do some blood work,bbl.crossy grabs his nook and vanished in a puff of paradigms...poink

8:19 am

Kaplan the Magne

I can produce a document to show it was not plundered in the recent wars.

8:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have to go to the gym. Bye.

8:21 am

Mr Bob

Good morning

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

9:18 am

lbdawger

morning, scrabs

9:18 am

Scrabbler

Hi dawg. How are you?

9:18 am

lbdawger

doing well, and yourself?

9:19 am

Scrabbler

I woke up with a migraine 2 hrs ago and am starting to feel better.

9:20 am

lbdawger

ugh, hate waking up hurting. is it the weather causing the migraine?

9:20 am

Scrabbler

Probably--incoming snowstorm. Also, I slept in and my brain doesn't like variation in my sleep pattern.

9:21 am

lbdawger

too bad brain and body can't be disconnected to let one rest and the other do as it wishes.

9:23 am

Scrabbler

I woke up at 4:30 and felt rested but that is too early to get up. I hoped to sleep til 6-7 at the latest. Anyway, I was having a really cool dream.

9:23 am

lbdawger

what was the dream?

9:24 am

Scrabbler

Duke Univ college campus, which I have never visited but would like to. I love college campuses and often dream about them.

9:26 am

Scrabbler

I like discovering the design of campuses and especially seeing really old buildings.

9:27 am

lbdawger

were you discovering new architecture in your dream or fancying something else?

9:27 am

Scrabbler

Checking out the buildings, having lunch, swimming in the pool...

9:29 am

lbdawger

sounds bucolic!

9:29 am

Scrabbler

Yes, so why wake up from that?

9:30 am

Scrabbler

I have always had a vivid, detailed dream life. It's like watching TV all night and sometimes I wake up exhausted.

9:31 am

lbdawger

i rarely remember my dreams. sometimes i remember they were good or weird, but rarely any details.

9:33 am

Scrabbler

That's too bad. I often have recurrent dreams in which I am in the same home. But it is not part of my real life. Fascinating.

9:35 am

lbdawger

hmm, maybe you dream so vividly because you are such an adventurer in life?

9:36 am

Scrabbler

And I have a vivid inner fantasy life--I live in my head!

9:37 am

lbdawger

i bet you tell great stories, all that imagination just wanting to burst out.

9:37 am

Scrabbler

Yep, it helps me to entertain children and to play with them because kids love to pretend.

9:38 am

lbdawger

yes they do! you should write a book or twelve, using your stories and knowledge.

9:39 am

Scrabbler

Woot! I just passed halfway.

9:39 am

Judi

Good morning, all. Isn't dreaming like that fun, Scrabbs? I always have technicolor adventure dreams too. A sign of high intelligence, obviously.

9:39 am

Scrabbler

I should!

9:40 am

lbdawger

wtg, scrabs!

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Good conclusion, Judi. I have been dreaming like that since childhood. And I am a lucid dreamer too--fun!

9:40 am

lbdawger

hi judi!

9:40 am

Judi

Either that or we watch too much television. Nahhh.

9:41 am

Scrabbler

I don't watch much TV. I am thinking of ditching cable TV but I would miss news, some sports, and my favorite shows.

9:41 am

crosshair

howdy again everyone:

9:42 am

Judi

I don't either. I have certain shows I set aside time for. Otherwise, it's all mostly twaddle.

9:42 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy! Has Blue Mtn opened for skiing?

9:42 am

lbdawger

hi crossy

9:42 am

Scrabbler

I pay for 65 channels and most of what is on is awful.

9:43 am

crosshair

up here scrabby,they are doing trials with "a la carte" cable packages,you get the base pack for 19 bux,then cherry pick tyen or 20 of you fav channels

9:43 am

crosshair

howdy lbd

9:43 am

crosshair

not yet scrabby

9:43 am

Scrabbler

I would love that, Crossy!

9:43 am

crosshair

i will jump on it as soon as the trials are over

9:44 am

Scrabbler

The ski resort across the valley started making snow yesterday and we will get several inches of the real stuff today. I want snow and lots of it.

9:44 am

Judi

We have Verizon. I still can't figure out why we have so many Spanish language channels. No habla.

9:44 am

crosshair

cause i do not need,10 reality channels,10 news channels,20 french channels and 9 aboriginal channels;(

9:44 am

crosshair

we were making snow last night scrabby

9:45 am

crosshair

you can bet they will move heaven and earth to get it open in the last two weeks before christmas

9:45 am

Scrabbler

It is financially vital for the resort to open before Xmas vacation. They earn 1/3 of their seasonal profits over the 1-2 wks around Xmas and New Year's Day.

9:46 am

crosshair

all they need is -3 celcuis to fire up the snow guns

9:46 am

uusue2

hi again all, we got a dusting of snow last night, our first

9:46 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sue.

9:46 am

9:47 am

Scrabbler

That's great, Crossy.

9:48 am

Scrabbler

I want tons of snow! The local ski resorts are chomping at the bit to open, and I want to snowshoe and cross-country ski.

9:48 am

crosshair

got a sudden call from oncology saying they were faxing requisitions to blood lab and hospital and booking an appt for next wed

9:48 am

Scrabbler

Anybody want coffee or tea? I am heading to the kitchen to make more.

9:50 am

crosshair

9:50 am

Scrabbler

Students are done, Sue? It's a week or two earlier than I expected.

9:50 am

Judi

Ay carumba, Crossy. Get that straigtened out pronto.

lbdawger

keeping fingers crossed for good results, crossy

9:51 am

crosshair

9:52 am

crosshair

had to show her where my gusher spots were hehe

9:52 am

Judi

Hey, if we had a Z, we could have "blintzes".

9:54 am

Scrabbler

I looked for blintz too.

9:54 am

welki

hi folks

9:54 am

Scrabbler

I always show the lab techs my good veins.

9:54 am

lbdawger

take to t and z off and add a vowel.

9:54 am

Blintzes would go loverly with coffee.

9:54 am

lbdawger

9:59 am

Scrabbler

I had 4 abd/pelvic surgeries from '98-'03 and I felt awful about my partners picking up the load. I hated recovering at home and I returned to work after 3-4 wks instead of taking a full 6 wks.

10:00 am

welki

talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

10:08 am

crosshair

10:08 am

Scrabbler

Nope, you have a tough body. As for the aging process, be grateful to be aging. And stay active. Keep moving.

10:08 am

Scrabbler

Any plans for your break, Sue?

10:08 am

crosshair

i have to now or that damn knee seizes up

10:08 am

flosey

10:08 am

uusue2

10:09 am

crosshair

10:10 am

crosshair

good luck welki:)

10:10 am

welki

you too, crossy :)

10:10 am

crosshair

ty

10:10 am

welki

so, i saw mrp's pretty disturbing post this morning :(

10:10 am

Scrabbler

I need to schedule a mammo. The place I go has us meet with radiologist before departing, so we always know the results.

10:10 am

Judi

Do they have the new hi-def mammograms where you go, Welki?

10:11 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, what happened with mrp?

10:11 am

flosey

oh, missed it, do you remember the time welki

10:11 am

uusue2

that is good, scrabs!

10:11 am

welki

yes, judi - $20 extra. they've had it for several years

10:11 am

crosshair

lol,we only know the results when we DON,T get a call

10:11 am

welki

look in babble community, flosey

10:11 am

Judi

It really is an amazing difference in clarity.

10:11 am

Scrabbler

Docs should make sure the patient knows all results, negative or positive.

10:11 am

uusue2

Leo and I are going to Israel for a cousin's wedding, scrabs! really looking forward to it!!

10:12 am

flosey

incidentally, my icon is a clue if you care to check

10:12 am

welki

used to be, scrabs, that you'd hear from the radiologist all preliminaries before you left - too busy these days

10:12 am

flosey

babble community?

10:13 am

uusue2

on facebook, flosey

10:13 am

welki

oh, sorry flosey - it's a facebook page

10:13 am

Judi

What did Mr. P have to say this a.m.?

10:13 am

flosey

oh, am not part of that

10:15 am

welki

apparently, the money we all sent to ChipIn was not sent on to her and she has lost contact with the person who was responsible for the collection. well, i learned my lesson about internet compassion, i guess

10:15 am

Scrabbler

I do not understand mrp's post at all.

10:15 am

Scrabbler

Sue, that is exciting.

10:15 am

Judi

WHAAAAA?

10:15 am

flosey

oh, that's terrible

10:16 am

Judi

I know she received some of it. Who do we have to hunt down and strangle for this debacle?!

10:16 am

crosshair

our treasure has run with the loot my friends..i just wish mrp had waited.was discussing all this last week with a learnerd babbler with clout

10:16 am

crosshair

treasurer

10:17 am

Judi

Can we report the theft to Chipin?

10:17 am

flosey

wow, that's the lowest of lows for babbleland

10:17 am

uusue2

do we really know that to be the case, crossy? Very depressing...

10:17 am

Scrabbler

Really?? Wildcat? Is it true?

10:17 am

crosshair

i have a lawyer looking at all the info now..dammit..wish mrp had waited

10:17 am

crosshair

it is too soon..

10:17 am

welki

i really have a difficult time with this, crossy - i've "known" that person for years and years (first from another word site and now here) - i've always thought she was a great person :(

10:18 am

crosshair

sigh...

10:18 am

cybernan

good morning, everyone -- diving in :)

10:18 am

welki

i posted on FB, judi, asking mrp if she's contacted ChipIN

10:18 am

Scrabbler

Hi nan

10:19 am

crosshair

the chip in acct has been cleared and paid out welki

10:19 am

welki

crossy, i had a feeling last week this is what mrp's cryptic message was about ("should i tell them?") - but was hoping for a change that it was good news

10:20 am

crosshair

i am waiting for advice from a lawyer as we speak

10:20 am

Judi

Okay. I am now officially PISSED OFF! I want names. I want phone numbers. I want restitution.

10:20 am

crosshair

that will not help judi

10:20 am

welki

live and learn. i feel cheated for sure - but there has to be some reason and i wish i knew what it is.always three sides to every story.

10:20 am

crosshair

i was trying to avoid this...

10:20 am

uusue2

very sad...I hope there is some explanation, like difficulty in transferring money or something...

10:21 am

crosshair

was helping mrp to the best of my ability in this

10:21 am

Dorens

just seeing this. I happen to know wildcat and there is just no way she cheated anyone!

10:21 am

Judi

Does anyone know Wildcat personally? I don't care about losing my money. I can about Mr. P not getting my money.

10:21 am

crosshair

that is what i care about as well judi

10:21 am

welki

back in october, wild told me that she was having trouble with the bank, but i never thought anything about it

10:21 am

uusue2

ditto...

10:22 am

Dorens

and i concur Judi. we were all relatively generous, don't mind losing the money... we had meant for it to go to her of course, but she should have had it

10:22 am

welki

dorens, that's what i was just saying ... there's got to be a reasonable explanation

10:22 am

Judi

Well, I am reserving a grain of benefit of the doubt, on the chance that it's some international exchange snafu or something.

10:22 am

crosshair

well the bank had no trouble cashing one babblers very large cheque..but we will see

10:22 am

crosshair

just my my aussie lass had not jumped the gun

10:22 am

welki

*sigh* no doubt i've pissed away more on less, but i sure wish the money i sent had made it to its proper destination

10:22 am

uusue2

well, she is stressed to the max, crossy...

10:23 am

crosshair

i understand

10:24 am

Judi

Could anyone take it upon themselves to contact Wildcat directly? I mean, we can't let someone get away with theft.

10:24 am

uusue2

it sounds like you are doing all the right things trying to sort it out, crossy - please let me know if there is anything i can do to help

10:25 am

crosshair

tried that,i have phone numbers,street adresses everything..i have been working on this for a month now my babble friends

10:25 am

uusue2

I believe that's being tried, judi - probably we should leave it in crossy's capable hands and let him ask for help when the time comes

10:25 am

Judi

Thanks for all your efforts, Crossy. I'm sure this is even more complicated given the multitude of countries represented.

10:25 am

crosshair

let me work in it,and i have other babblers looking at the problem from a legal standpoint as well

10:25 am

Dorens

then i assume you've been in touch with wildcat crossy?

10:26 am

uusue2

boy, this is another layer of stress that mrp didn't need!!

10:26 am

crosshair

we have dorens but by email only so far.i will not get into details here,but she is being..evasive,so we are persuing this

10:27 am

Scrabbler

I am saddened by all of this news.

10:27 am

crosshair

i mean it is easy..take the 2-3 grand,get amex gift cards and send them to mrp,s front door via fe ex

10:27 am

crosshair

fed ex

10:28 am

Judi

UHG! Never again will I send donations to a third party. From now on, it goes directly to numero uno.

10:29 am

crosshair

yes judi,in the future we will go direct.i hold myself partly to blame as i did not do enough research on our "treasurer"

10:29 am

Scrabbler

Our trouble in our development = thefts from our parcel boxes at our mail center. I had a key for a package in a box last wk--empty box. Turns out it happened for 2 days for all 10 boxes.

10:29 am

uusue2

(((((crossy)))))

10:29 am

Judi

At the same time, I am heartened by the generosity of my dear Babble friends.

10:29 am

Scrabbler

I don't know what was stolen from the box.

10:30 am

crosshair

she had the chip in acct,even "set the honey pot" by sending mrp a token 300 or so then this...

10:30 am

uusue2

anyway I really must get to work - will check back in when I get there - very sad to see that people will abuse others' generosity like this...

10:30 am

crosshair

it is amazing judi..i will not give names but one babbler sent a donation of $1000.00

10:31 am

Judi

That is becoming a very common complaint, Scrabbs. I work at the Police dept. Some guy came in last week and said a group of teenagers on bicycles was following the UPS delivery truck around the neighborhood and snapping up packages that had been left in driveways and on doorsteps. Can you believe??

10:31 am

crosshair

we will learn from this,and hopefully it is all a misunderstanding and can still be rectified

10:31 am

uusue2

i hope so too, crossy - thank you so much for all your work on this!!!

10:32 am

uusue2

(and now I really am off...must get grades submitted!!)

10:32 am

crosshair

i still feel like crap about not checking credentials

10:32 am

crosshair

once i hear back from the lawyer i will pass on the letter for you all to read

10:32 am

Judi

Not your fault, Crossy. Don't go there.

10:32 am

Scrabbler

Bye Sue.

10:33 am

crosshair

and god bless that we have such a wide range of profession in our babble club;)

10:33 am

Judi

In the meantime, if someone can e-mail me Mr. P's home address, I will send her a money order via global snail mail.

10:34 am

Scrabbler

Judi, FedEx and UPS leave boxes on my front deck and yes, I have always worried about the potential for theft. USPS is now having us pick up boxes at our local branch (the cutest little log cabin!)

10:34 am

crosshair

she has a new home addy now judi,but once i get it,i shall pass it along to you

10:34 am

crosshair

point taken scrabby,i will advise western union money transfer

10:34 am

Scrabbler

I am still stunned that a person would pocket donated funds.

10:34 am

Judi

Thank you, Crossy. Yes. I know they just moved.

10:35 am

cybernan

mmm - not seeing any 8's

10:35 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, will there be proof of a crime so that prosecution can take place?

10:35 am

vanillaslice

Scrabbler

10:36 am

Judi

Time for another cup of Joe. Must go punch something soft and pretend it's a thief's face. BBL. *POOF*

10:36 am

past tense of one of santa's reindeers :)

10:41 am

vanillaslice

do3 would be to put on a coat or dress

10:41 am

lbdawger

10:41 am

vanillaslice

10:41 am

cybernan

ty welki

10:41 am

10:41 am

vanillaslice

do 8 extends do6 as a further past tense

10:42 am

welki

10:42 am

vanillaslice

crosshair

may have to look up round rock texas and find number for the local newspapers...wild has has not seen the like of ole crossy once he is on the trail of something!

10:44 am

welki

i think she's a teacher there, crossy - another reason why this whole scenario boggles my mind

10:45 am

crosshair

i am still hoping there is a reasonable explanation for all this delay..another reason i wish our overstressed aussie lass had waited

10:46 am

crosshair

she may be ill,she may have school commitments..we shall see

10:46 am

vanillaslice

lets not judge before we know for sure

10:46 am

crosshair

true words vanillia

10:46 am

welki

10:46 am

welki

ditto, vanilla

10:47 am

crosshair

ill try phoning her again tomorrow

10:47 am

rururocks

11:02 am

welki

i'm just hoping for the best - thanks for your efforts, crossy

11:04 am

crosshair

it is my pleasure,mrp is special to me and i am just making sure it all goes as smooth as possible

11:06 am

11:07 am

crosshair

time enough for hope yet suze;)

11:07 am

uusue2

(don't get too excited, there's maybe 1/2 inch although ice is always a worry)

11:08 am

crosshair

lol sue,we have the snow guns on the hill cranking it out as fast as they can

11:08 am

bichon

Hi what's happening on Babble?

11:08 am

uusue2

I saw that the ski areas in Switzerland were starting to worry as there was no snow

11:09 am

bichon

Did something happen to Mrp?

11:09 am

uusue2

but finally they got a nice storm so all are happy

11:09 am

crosshair

nope,funds were released from chip in site,and all mailed in cheques have been cashed,so we hope to get it all to mrp as fast as possible

11:09 am

uusue2

mrp is fine, bichon, you can read back in the chat for the rest (bottom line - don't worry, yet, and crossy is on top of it)

11:10 am

bichon

okay, thanks.

11:10 am

cybernan

is there a list today

11:10 am

crosshair

she is a little anxious

11:12 am

crosshair

lol,if my wife heard you say"crossy is on top of it" she would be looking for a cyanide tablet real fast.but yes,in this case i have all the i,s dotted and the t,s crossed

11:12 am

bichon

do 8? is it a past tense with a pt added on?

11:13 am

crosshair

past tense of santas lead reindeer

11:13 am

bichon

strange, but true, ty crossy

11:14 am

crosshair

well not lead one,guess that was rouldoph

11:14 am

uusue2

oddly the present tense doesn't work. English (or scots or whatever) is a strange language.

11:15 am

bichon

nothing as unusual as the English language

11:15 am

periwinkle

hey all

11:15 am

uusue2

hi, peri!

11:15 am

periwinkle

help with 8's pls. only have the do8 just clued, ty

11:16 am

periwinkle

there are at least 2 de8 according to chog but do not see them

11:16 am

crosshair

the english language can best be described as a hodge-podge of every other language

11:16 am

crosshair

howdy peri

stidmama

I have only a few more minutes, and then I am done for the day. Have had a good day, but was inside the whole time.

4:41 pm

stidgmere

Yes, adolescents are just a phase.

4:41 pm

stidmama

oh jes, the way they feel about me today, I don't think I would want them taking care of me. Telling them the hard truths ends up with accusations that I neither believe in them nor love them. *sad mama look*

4:44 pm

m9f9l
