I googled Jubilee hospital and got this address:

1:10 am

melonheadjujube

seriously, I have no performing ambitions on the podium (famous last words!), having been a second chair bassist all my career. I'm rehearsing the orchestra and what I bring is that "inside baseball" how-to to pass on to the kids. I sweat the detailsâ€”pitch, ensemble, how to break a part down and practice it bit by bit. The regular orch teacher is having minor surgery. My goal is to return the orch in top shape. I also conduct another ensemble, and a section each of mus theory and mus history. And I do it backwards in high heels ;)

1:11 am

1:14 am

m9f9l

crazy week. I got to choir Tuesday and director asked if I'd take a solo in one B. I said sure. But we didn't practice it that night. No rehearsal Wed, but I got to run through it once on Thursday. I'm just learning ALL the music since I joined so late.

1:18 am

stidmama

1:19 am

melonheadjujube

nbt nbs 37 to go, but beddy-bye calls. Saw Cleveland Orch tonight with my kids. Great program including Saint-SaÃ«ns Organ Symphony. Marin Alsop conducted. She's a firecracker, very lively. Audience was enthusiastic. No, I'm not next!

1:19 am

m9f9l

I said I'd do whatever. I just show up to sing.LOL Thing is, TODAY was the first concert. Melon, don't assign any special numbers the day before a concert, ok?? LOL

1:19 am

Hi Mary.

1:24 am

negativeneil

Check the latest update on profile... links, etc.

1:24 am

negativeneil

Had a fun, busy evening.

1:24 am

negativeneil

And hi, melon. :)

1:25 am

negativeneil

If either of you are still here.

1:34 am

scouser

Hi Negativeneil. Jillibus had accident. see Flosey's profile.

1:35 am

negativeneil

Oh no, scouser? I saw Flosey earlier but she didn't mention anything about it?

1:35 am

negativeneil

And "Neil" is fine btw.

1:36 am

negativeneil

Oh man! That's awful... wonder what happened?

1:37 am

scouser

Thank you. the formalities must be preserved at first! I think Jillibus had a fall.

1:41 am

scouser

Byee all. Health and Safety docs next to be checked here (alias "Elf & Santa rules" as defined at Bath Abbey carol concert where no standing in the aisles was allowed)

1:45 am

scouser

PS in yesterday's grid m*rde was allowed - the French swearword. Middle English is everday English in Enable?

1:49 am

rbud

Hi, all - someone should maybe say something about Jilli on the Babble Community page in FB?

2:02 am

mrpresident

is jilli ok?? what is happening??

2:03 am

mrpresident

has something happened to Jilli?? I know she got shingles and let us all know about it, but has something happened since then?

2:03 am

flosey

yes mrp, please read my bio

2:03 am

mrpresident

thanks flosey, will do

2:04 am

mrpresident

oh no!! poor darling!! did she have a fall at home?? I had no idea!! so so sorry to hear about this!

2:06 am

flosey

I don't know where she was mrp but someone took her to our hospital where she was transferred to Victoria - Royal Jupilee Hosp. for surgery, this message came to me from, I presume, a neighbour - I do not know the person

2:07 am

flosey

It happened last night, message was sent to me early this morning

2:08 am

negativeneil

Sorry, "back". People talking to me.

2:08 am

mrpresident

oh that is just awful for her!

2:09 am

flosey

yes, on to of shingles, too much!

2:09 am

mrpresident

i have her address but not contact number and will call the hospital. that poor lady!

2:09 am

mrpresident

how do I get the number for the hospital?

2:09 am

flosey

hello Neil, did you read my bio regarding Jilli

2:09 am

negativeneil

Yes, that's horrible... sure hope she'll be ok?!

2:09 am

mrpresident

hi neil. babblers getting damaged and in hospital. never a good thing

2:09 am

flosey

I'll get it for you mrp, just a sec

2:10 am

negativeneil

No kidding, mrp. :(

2:10 am

mrpresident

thank you flosey. what time is it there too please??

2:11 am

flosey

Royal Jubilee Hosp, 252 370-8000

2:11 am

mrpresident

i just feel so bad for people that are healthy as race horses, then get downed by breaks. it is not a nice way to lose your independance

2:12 am

flosey

it's 12:12 a.m. right now

2:12 am

mrpresident

ok, what is the country code please?

2:12 am

mrpresident

so, will call her in 12 hours, around lunch time. poor jilli

2:14 am

mrpresident

i see it is 1... same as USA

2:14 am

negativeneil

I know, mrp... sure hope she'll come through this ok and heal well.

2:15 am

negativeneil

Please give her my best when you do, mrp?

2:15 am

negativeneil

01, mrp.

2:15 am

mrpresident

them old bones take time neil... and it sounds like a bugger with tendons etc. I will neil... thank you :)

2:15 am

negativeneil

To call North America... 01.

2:15 am

flosey

mrp, you would dial l 250 370-8000 to reach the hops.

2:15 am

flosey

hosp.

2:15 am

negativeneil

Yeah I know, mrp. :( Worried.

2:16 am

mrpresident

ok. will do flosey... and thank you!

2:16 am

negativeneil

You need to dial the code to place an overseas call from Australia first, mrp... then 01, then the number sequence flosey just gave you.

2:17 am

flosey

I called an operator here neil, that is what she told me, as given in post 2:15

2:17 am

negativeneil

[have placed calls from Asia and other countries back to this continent]

2:17 am

mrpresident

yes, just dial 1 for USA and Canada. I think we are 61.

2:17 am

negativeneil

Yes, flosey... but mrp still needs to dial her code for placing an overseas call, then 01, before that sequence. I've done that many, many times.

2:18 am

mrpresident

we have to dial 0011 to get a line out of the country

2:18 am

negativeneil

Like for instance, if I called home from Europe, I dialled 011-01-3 digit area code - local number.

2:18 am

flosey

oh neil, I've never called home while visiting anothr country, I'm just going by what the operator here told me

2:19 am

negativeneil

Ok, then here is exactly the sequence you need, mrp: 0011-01-l-250-370-8000.

2:19 am

negativeneil

Well I have, flosey... many, many times.

2:19 am

negativeneil

Try that, mrp... and if by chance it's not right [but I'm sure it is], remove the "1" that's on its own there.

2:20 am

negativeneil

But I'm sure that's right.

2:20 am

negativeneil

Done it enough. :P

2:27 am

flosey

I'm really off to bed now, but will leave babble open for anyone else who is interested in reading of Jilli's update

2:27 am

negativeneil

Actually mrp, if you're still here, I'm thinking back and trying to remember and I think you may need to dial it this way after all: 0011-01-250-370-8000.

2:27 am

negativeneil

Try that, then the other if that doesn't work.

2:28 am

negativeneil

But I know one of them is right.

2:28 am

negativeneil

Thanks for letting us all know, flosey.

2:28 am

negativeneil

I'll send an ecard.

2:28 am

negativeneil

Good night and take care. I'm off too.

2:29 am

negativeneil

Sorry mrp, here: 0011-01-250-370-8000.

2:46 am

rbud

yay, fw for me, nite, all! :)

3:09 am

Glantarell

*cars, even

4:25 am

Glantarell

biggets hailstones we ever have here are 2-3mm

I can't believe I got a cold! Every year, when I get out with the masses of humanity, I get sick. I'm sick and tired of waking up sick and tired

7:12 am

crosshair

even worse,going to hospitals all the time,everything is concentrated in a small area,so i always come away with a present i do not ewant

7:12 am

gramma

My doctor told me to stay away from the ER before they kill me.

I can't find the S 0/2. Help, please?

7:16 am

crosshair

i still think dr_g should do my suggestion and add a tab to this with a monthly 10x10 grid of 3000-4000 words

7:17 am

lbdawger

7:17 am

7:18 am

lbdawger

yw, gramma

7:18 am

gramma

Put those 2 together and it almost makes sense

7:18 am

crosshair

gramma,would just be something to keep us going on short grid days and also usefull to tame those "flip" people who kill off all grids in 15 or 20 minutes

7:19 am

lbdawger

fa5, not true, fa4, groupies, fa4, not slow

7:19 am

gramma

crossy, I can't hear you....la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la

7:20 am

lbdawger

yw, aleksiaa

7:22 am

crosshair

i tried the math on a 5000 grid,but it was too much.as long as they stay between 2 and 3000 most of us should live

7:22 am

lbdawger

so now that i'm done with the grid, i guess this means i have to clean and decorate the house.

7:22 am

crosshair

may have to give up some hobbies though...like eating...sleeping...that kind of thing

7:23 am

lbdawger

employment! lol

7:23 am

crosshair

see? if we had that grid,you would not have to go clean house

7:23 am

lbdawger

oh wait, i've all ready given that up.

7:23 am

lbdawger

well, it would just postpone my having to clean the house.

7:56 am

crosshair

and the oil is so thick in the cars oil pan that when you try to start the car,it gives one feeble crank and a gasp as the frozen battery starts clicking,so now you cancel everything,bring the battery into a warm place and put a charger on it for a few hours

Aleksiaa

8:03 am

Aleksiaa

THIS GAME IS SOO FRUSTRATING!

8:09 am

grant

Do you know about morewords.com?

8:09 am

Aleksiaa

noo?

8:12 am

grant

can be very helpful even if you know only the first two letters of a word. Also you could try Lickety's Babble clues, if you haven't already.

8:12 am

Aleksiaa

okay, ill have a look
thanks for that :)

8:13 am

grant

you're welcome

8:31 am

crosshair

lol alek,frustrating and OCD for new players but believe it or not,afer a while,you do not mind if you finish or no and it actually becomes a place to de-stress after a rough day

8:47 am

welki

Hi Bich

11:32 am

rururocks

were you starting to swear bichon/

11:33 am

bichon

no, not really

11:33 am

rururocks

oh

11:33 am

bichon

sometimes when a put a word in the add, it comes out in the chat. Don't know why

11:34 am

rururocks

i'm teasing you.. just kidding

11:34 am

bichon

no problem

11:35 am

rururocks

I do think that assdrag should be a word..I hear it in the chat all the time

11:35 am

rururocks

although with a gerund ending however

11:39 am

doseffing

... it must be the end of time ... ... no list ... no clues ... 40 minutes ... and I'm done ... see ya

11:43 am

Judi

Uh oh. Babble end times?

11:51 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

11:52 am

bichon

Hi Scrabs

11:52 am

Judi

Howdilly do!

11:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bichon.

11:53 am

Scrabbler

This is a disappointing grid. I wanted a biggie.

11:53 am

bichon

Yes, me too.

11:55 am

Judi

No whining.

11:55 am

Scrabbler

Ahem. I am grateful to have more than a 35-word grid.

11:55 am

Judi

Much better.

11:56 am

bichon

How about a 300 + grid with no time for it. That's worse

11:57 am

Scrabbler

I aim for halfway, not to finish, so I like the huge grids in which I can type like crazy.

11:58 am

Judi

I have to agree, Bichon. Although, I'm not so fanatical about finishing these things anymore. I just bash out what I can and enjoy the company.

11:58 am

Scrabbler

That's real maturity, Judy.

11:59 am

Scrabbler

Chat, chat, chat.

12:00 pm

Judi

Really, what's the point of knowing all these wonky words if we can't actually use our enhanced vocabulary?

12:00 pm

Scrabbler

And an occasional word search. That's my approach.

12:02 pm

Scrabbler

The obscure words do come in handy with Scrabble though.

12:05 pm

Scrabbler

Has it been quiet here because everyone already finished?

12:06 pm

Judi

It's a pretty quick grid. I'm down to 17 already.

12:06 pm

doseffing

... that's likely what has happened today ...

12:08 pm

Judi

I'm throwing in the towel with 16 left. Gotta wash my hair and then we are going to a husky mushing demo and some kind of mountain bike race. Wheeee! See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

12:08 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Judi

12:09 pm

doseffing

... to the point of what to do with the wonky words ... ... you never know what you'll do unless you can foretell the future ... 1830's a guy name Michael Faraday makes a useless discovery of some neat stuff ... that was dangerous and particularly useless ... it wasn't for another sixty years that they found a use for alternating current electricity

12:09 pm

Scrabbler

30 to go for me

12:09 pm

doseffing

... enough philosophy for a bright Sunday afternoon ... enjoy the day

12:09 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, very sunny here and I will go for a walk soon.

12:10 pm

torgone

Mmmmmmmm .. mushed huskies .. with garlic and butter?

12:37 pm

Good Enough

congrats drp!

12:39 pm

drPlayer

Usually just don't have enough time to finish with the ones with more words, so the small number of words in this one helped me out.

12:39 pm

Scrabbler

Uno. It's an a5.

12:40 pm

Scrabbler

Aha. Rand-McNally Road At5.Done.

12:41 pm

Hi all, any clues for the 1st ST5/10 please?

12:46 pm

drPlayer

I usually only play once or twice a week. I usually lurk until I get done with the inital wave of finding words. Sometimes, I don't get past that initial wave.

12:47 pm

1:04 pm

jmcnrick

it is a gift tracking and budgeting system -- look at the top of the page here

1:04 pm

MollyL

Well, I figure it's one way to ensure that you will get something you actually want, instead of people having to guess.

1:04 pm

jmcnrick

89 words

1:04 pm

uusue2

89, pickles

1:04 pm

uusue2

and you are right, without pro you don't know much

1:53 pm

uusue2

(in principle I could wait until tomorrow...)

1:56 pm

stidmama

hey all -- how about you grade 10% now, take a babble break, grade another 10%...

1:56 pm

stidmama

hey all...

1:57 pm

stidmama

oops. I am having a serious "brain mush" day btw. I think I have overdone it a little bit in the last week.

1:58 pm

uusue2

there are only 10 of them to begin with (this is my advanced astronomy class) so once I get started I might as well do them all

1:58 pm

uusue2

and I know what you mean about brain mush!!!

1:58 pm

stidmama

LOL thanks -- I am saying the strangest things when trying to have phone conversations...

2:01 pm

rururocks

*sends wilfred brimley to the rescue for stid*

2:02 pm

stidmama

oh sue! I saw JUST a short bit of the eclipse yesterday, at 6:20 I was pulling out of the high school parking lot and the clouds cleared just enough for the kids and me to see the last white sliver against the deep, dark red of the shadowed moon.

2:02 pm

stidmama

gee, thanks, ruru -- how can I EVER thank you? *said in Jack Benny voice*

2:02 pm

uusue2

fabulous, stid!! We missed it here, too far east

2:03 pm

rururocks

you'll think of something stid

2:03 pm

uusue2

also it was 8 degrees out yesterday morning so I did not want to get up

2:03 pm

stidmama

I knew you would, and I knew I wouldn't be able to stop and take pics, but I figured you at least would know how cool that was. Debaters, as a whole, are not as interested in "science" as I am. LOL

2:05 pm

stidmama

ooh. down to 20!!!

2:05 pm

stidmama

and btw, you can't hit "shift" and numbers to indicate excitement... *sigh*

2:05 pm

uusue2

lunar eclipses aren't all that rare anyway, and i've seen quite a few of them - never seen a total solar eclipse, though

2:05 pm

uusue2

and yay, stid!

2:06 pm

stidmama

We had an amazing solar eclipse soon after we moved to our home, 2000 or 2001 I think. I helped the boys make viewing boxes and we sat on the little hill in the front to watch it. Luckily, it was warm and dry (and clear) that day!

2:07 pm

cubsnut

Can I get help with ra 5/10 and 6/18

2:07 pm

uusue2

I've seen some partial solar eclipses, and one annular one, but would love to see a total one some time...

2:08 pm

rururocks

ra 5 ra + mr gore & Plural

2:08 pm

rururocks

that's rodent and mr gore

2:08 pm

rururocks

hmmm come to think of it he is a rat

2:10 pm

stidmama

hm. maybe that's not when that one was... oh well. I don't think it was a full eclipse, but I remember how much fun it was to talk about it and make those boxes!

2:13 pm

cubsnut

Thank You

2:13 pm

stidmama

down to 16. Going to take a break, maybe a nap. Shouldn't be this tired, but I am. NOT a good sign for subbing tomorrow!

2:13 pm

stidmama

*poof*

2:14 pm

cubsnut

and I agree ruru

2:16 pm

mcurlschool

hey! Stid--Jordan and I sat in her bedroom and watched the eclipse out the window; we saw everything except the last little tiny bit

3:07 pm

flosey

hi kj, jill called this morning, will be there for a few days and then will be using a walker for a few weeks

3:08 pm

kje

3:08 pm

flosey

and thanks neil, but anyone sees ru on line, please let him know

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

hi all--give jilli my love flosey

3:09 pm

3:10 pm

kje

hopefully they will either get her a nurse coming out, or family will come... is very hard to be none weight bearing and get things done for several weeks (been there, done that)... or they could send her to rehab

3:10 pm

Soodle

Oh, poor poor Jilli! She needed that like a hole in the head.

3:10 pm

kje

will do if I see him, flos... he would want to know she is OK

3:11 pm

Once he's on the computer, he uses it for HOURS on end.He uses it to plant gr5/14 on Farmville. I wish I could put his farm up for sa 4/4. Dr 4/5! Hubby wants the computer. I am going to go make a chef sa 5/10 & some ta4/4r tots for dinner.Then I am going to go watch the Bill Paxton film "One Fa 5/16 Move".Congr4/6ulations to those who get fireworks while I am away.

LeslieAnn, I went to list after finding half the words. Then as I was using Lickety's list,I kept on finding words not realizing how close to FWs I was.Next thing I know I have unexpected fireworks at 12:43. Was so annoyed. I like to save la 4/4 word for la4/4r. I finished too early.

5:58 pm

just on phone to hospital to see how jilli is doing

6:07 pm

jesdraggon

what's wrong with jilli?

6:09 pm

mrpresident

ok, going to try her cell phone now... the hospital gave me that number.

6:13 pm

Minveryork

Hospitals shouldn't be giving out cell phone numbers unless patient says it's okay. Hope that jillibus said it was ok to do

6:13 pm

LeslieAnn

min, do you know what's up with jilli?

6:14 pm

Minveryork

flosey's profile: Jillibus was taken to Jubilee Hospital in Victoria this morning. She has a dislocated ankle, plus 2 broken bones, plus a torn ligament. They are going set her ankle today and insert a pin.
Sunday, 11th.
Jill called this morning from the Hospital. She will be in hospital for a bit, (?), then will be using a walker for a few weeks. She is in good hands.
(Some are asking about care when she gets home: We do have home care available but please be assured, she will be well looked after.)

6:15 pm

LeslieAnn

oh no poor jilli. she is at home though right? knew she had a trip in the works

6:16 pm

flosey

no LeslieAnn - Jill called me from the hospital in Victoria - she'll be there for a few days

6:17 pm

flosey

I'll keep my bio updated as I hear

6:17 pm

LeslieAnn

victoria in canada or australia?

6:17 pm

Minveryork

flosey, I hope you don't mind me copying and pasting info. into the chat log. Thank you again for upda4/5 in profile.

6:18 pm

flosey

Canada, BC, we have a hospital on the island but they do not do any surgery

6:18 pm

flosey

Victoria, BC, Canada

6:18 pm

mrpresident

she slipped on an icy step!

6:18 pm

LeslieAnn

oh ok. i was thinking she had a trip to AUS in the works, and with mrp talking about it i worried she was down there

6:18 pm

flosey

no Min, that's fine, I knew all her babble friends would be concerned

6:19 pm

flosey

did you get to talk to her MRP?

6:19 pm

mrpresident

just spoke to her on her cell phone... she is in good spirits and the operation was a success. compound fractures and ligament damage.

6:19 pm

mrpresident

i did flosey, just spoke to her now

6:19 pm

LeslieAnn

not that it's great to be in canada with a busted foot, but no one wants that on vacation!

6:19 pm

mrpresident

she gave her cell number to the nurse to give to me, and i called

6:19 pm

mcurlschool

flosey-where didthey do the surgery? Vancouver?

6:19 pm

flosey

good, so glad you were able to get through

6:20 pm

mrpresident

she has her friends with her, the ones she was with on the night she fell

6:20 pm

flosey

Victoria, mcurl

6:20 pm

mrpresident

she is doing well. and she said she won't be on babble for a while of course, but wants everyone to know she is fine.

6:21 pm

mcurlschool

guess I'm confused---you said earlier that there is a hospital on the island but they don't do surgery. She's only a 3 hour drive and a ferry ride from Port Angeles away from me!

6:21 pm

mrpresident

yes min, jilli gave the number to the nurse so I could call her. She knew it was me trying to contact her.

6:22 pm

mrpresident

she is still in hospital and will be for a couple of days.

6:23 pm

flosey

but mcurl, you must realize that she is even closer to Victoria, or Duncan in fact

6:25 pm

flosey

our Salt Spring Island hospital (no surgery) is the one she was taken to first, then taken to Victoria

6:25 pm

mrpresident

flosey, jilli said I could find out through you how she is holding up. She said she was in contact with you. Makes it easier on my end, down here in Australia.

6:26 pm

flosey

yes, of course mrp, I will be keeping everyone informed as I hear new reports

6:27 pm

mrpresident

thanks flosey :) i will put info on babble community on FB, as she said you didn't have FB and asked that I do that so people there know what is happening

6:27 pm

LeslieAnn

thanks for the updates, ladies

6:28 pm

mcurlschool

AHHHH consulted the trusty google maps and understand now Flosey; Thanks. One of these days I'm going to have to trip up to the island again and arrange a visit!

6:28 pm

flosey

I am in FB mrp but I very seldom use it - daughter put me there!

6:29 pm

flosey

that would be wonderful mcurl, I will look forward to meeting you

hi everyone! didn't try the te5 because i thought is was a proper noun. thanx

hi stidg, luwanda

7:12 pm

hello Mother and Luwanda! I solved my dilemma over the stidkid's 19th bday coming up!!!!

7:12 pm

stidmama

go Mother go!

7:12 pm

jesdraggon

it's used as a unit of electricity, i think. named for nikola, so not specifically a proper nown

7:12 pm

jesdraggon

7:12 pm

Hi jes!

7:13 pm

stidmama

ooh! now down to 9!

7:15 pm

JenMO16

top row gone!

7:15 pm

stidmama

going to buy the kiddo the new, little kindle. It's a piece of gadgetry he hasn't had, and since he likes to read, thought he would enjoy it. It has small ads, but I think it's a reasonable offset because it makes it affordable.

7:15 pm

stidmama

go jen go!

7:15 pm

jesdraggon

consider going with a sony instead, stid

7:16 pm

jesdraggon

lots more freedom in what file types it will display, which makes free content a lot easier. with the kindle you're fairly restricted.

7:16 pm

stidmama

wanted something that works with existing technology, jes -- and price was an issue. Had to be less than $100. Kid has a laptop as well, so getting non-kindle content isn't really an issue. But it's a good suggestion.

7:17 pm

jesdraggon

Also, there's this: http://techcrunch.com/2009/07/23/amazo
ns-bezos-apologizes-for-the-stupid-and
-thoughtless-kindle-incident/

7:17 pm

jesdraggon

You can get the sonys pretty cheap (just picked up a damaged-box one from blinq.com for $50 myself as a backup)

7:19 pm

stidmama

I'll talk to tom, jes, we could still return the one we got.

7:20 pm

jesdraggon

I can send you a whole list of places to download free books too, if you want.

7:21 pm

jesdraggon

You may be able to convert things to work on the kindle, if you decide to go with that.

7:22 pm

stidmama

we get books from many sources, jes -- remember that's tom's job (tech) so we tend to play with and find lots of things

7:22 pm

jesdraggon

nope, didn't know what Tom's job was, just that he makes sourdough bread :)

7:24 pm

lbdawger

check out kobo.com too, stid

7:25 pm

stidmama

I don't think tom likes kobo or nook much

7:25 pm

jesdraggon

I actually went with nooks for several people this year, because they were less expensive than the new sonys. but they are really restricted in what they will display, so i also downloaded and converted a ton of books to pre-load on them :)

7:26 pm

jesdraggon

i've been really happy with my sony since i got it though

7:26 pm

stidmama

7... *sigh* it's tough going

7:27 pm

Minveryork

Hi to all who entered while I was eating dinner. Welcome!

7:27 pm

Minveryork

Go stidmama go!

7:27 pm

lbdawger

kobo isn't proprietary. you can download books as an adobe file

7:27 pm

jesdraggon

it will display just about anything without having to convert file types, has a really nice battery life (2 weeks), and is really easy to read; no glare or fading in direct sunlight.

7:29 pm

stidmama

this will teach me to start a conversation about books in BABBLE *shakes head* LOL Of COURSE book lovers will have a lot of good information. Just not sure I have the brains to parse it all...

7:29 pm

jesdraggon

and none of the weird proprietary stuff, or privacy issues that kindle has had

7:30 pm

jesdraggon

heh. if it helps, crossy is the one who went through all of this with me when i was looking to buy a reader :)

7:30 pm

i try, molly :) it wasn't all me though; costs were split several ways, i was just the one in charge of acquiring something suitable

7:34 pm

MollyL

Jac, my kids got me a Kindle last year and that was real sweet and all that, but I'm not into reading on a screen at all. I'm stuck on real live books.

7:35 pm

Minveryork

I've seen lilbit on rare occasions,however,do not know her.

7:35 pm

JenMO16

come to find out she and i are facebook friends, we went to junior high and high school with her, Jac

7:35 pm

Jacula

Molly - we are twinned. LOL

7:35 pm

JenMO16

and she is not from Mexico!

7:38 pm

Jacula

Jen - oh, that's a coincidence. Mind you, I registered on Friends Reunited many years ago and started chatting to a lady from Austin, Tx. We got on really well. A few years after we'd been chatting daily, she sent me a pic of her hubby, saying he was sure he'd been at infant and junior school with me, and then at the boys' grammar school that was twin to my girls' grammar school. He was right! About 18 months later, he came over to visit, bringing his daughter & her b/f and lots of old photos and documents from our mutual schools.

7:39 pm

JenMO16

that is so sweet, Jacula!

7:39 pm

Jacula

'It's a small world!' as 'they' say!

Seriously Jac, we are twin daughters of different Mothers. Pagan women who love Mother Earth, into real books, and not one bit afraid to tell it like it is. Yay us!

7:45 pm

Jacula

stid - thanks for the choccies!

7:46 pm

Jacula

Molly - queens of NonPC, and long may it be so!

7:46 pm

Jacula

Molly - are you on FB and, if so, are we friends yet on there?

7:47 pm

Jacula

Mind you, we can't be twins, 'cos according to your bio, you are only 7.

7:51 pm

MollyL

That is my spiritual age Jac. I am on Facebook. I tried to friend you once, but never got a reply.

7:51 pm

rururocks

spiritual age?

7:52 pm

MollyL

How old I feel, not how old the calendar says I am.

7:52 pm

Jacula

Molly - try again now. It could be because I didn't recognise your real name.

7:53 pm

rururocks

I feel older than 7 .. that's for sure

7:55 pm

Jacula

I feel whatever age I feel given the circumstances of the day. In my head, I'm anywhere between 15-30. Usually about 18. I do remember being a baby (not all but some things) and a toddler (again, not all but some things). At 54, I sometimes can't even remember what I'm saying mid-sentence, let alone what I went upstairs for! LOL

7:55 pm

rururocks

LOL.. I hear that

7:57 pm

Jacula

Molly - I'm in and out of FB at present, since Peri and a few others are keeping me pretty busy with word games there. What I'm *really* supposed to be doing is composing this year's Christmas letter.

Hi ruru. It's so annoying when you're in full flow and suddenly the point you were working towards escapes you, isn't it? Likewise going upstairs and then having to go all the way back down again to the place where you first thought of the thing you had to go upstairs to get, so that you can remember what it was again. God help anyone who interrupts you on your way back upstairs again! LOL

8:03 pm

Jacula

Keep going, Jen. You'll get there.

8:03 pm

rururocks

I do it all the time..scares the crap out of me

8:04 pm

rururocks

especially when I'm cooking.. I open the cabinet or the fridge to get something and blank out

8:04 pm

rururocks

.. but then I"m usually drinking something while I"m cooking too..lol

8:05 pm

rururocks

*figures the wine may have something to do with it..lol*

8:07 pm

Jacula

ruru - now you sound like Keith Floyd - popular chef in the UK in the 70s/80s. He put more wine into himself than he did into the food he was cooking. Eventually, he pickled himself.

8:09 pm

Jacula

I NEVER drink when I'm cooking. Probably stems from seeing my Mum and my Aunt get p*ssed on sherry as they cooked the Christmas dinner one year, decide to take the turkey out of the oven together, manage to drop it on the floor, skid on the grease AND tread on the turkey whilst giggling and trying to catch it to pick it up, finally succeeding in picking it up, brushing the fluff and other bits off it, drenching it in gravy and serving it up to be carved.

8:10 pm

Jacula

I ate all my vegetables that year! LOL

8:10 pm

jmcnrick

hi ru love the icon

I prefer the wine or the water with a meal, except for chili. You need milk with that 'cos water or wine just makes the burning sensation worse.

salmocreston1

thanks. I often see that people change their icons to match a certain theme. But I never really understood where the theme comes from.

8:18 pm

Jacula

jmc - sounds like the 'Gourmet Night' episode of Fawlty Towers.

8:18 pm

jmcnrick

ah well sprite lists the themes and they come from everyone

8:18 pm

Jacula

salmo - themes are in Sprite's bio and then archived into BabAnon.

Beloved's got to be up for work in 34 mins (3am). I wonder if he'll be up in time? He had about 2 hours non-sleep, having a long and complicated bad dream, which he then came down to tell me about a while ago. Amongst all the weird stuff, he was looking for his missing lorry. Told me to let him know if I did episode 2 of his dream and found it. Apparently, the keys are in his pocket. LOL

8:28 pm

jmcnrick

humm do you have sa4/5 and 5/12

8:29 pm

Jacula

1st sa is sa5.12 - rabbit food, as my Beloved calls it.

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

maybe he will leave the keys so you can bring the lorry back if you find it

8:29 pm

Picklesny

i don't understand the 2nd #

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

it is the number of points--have you read help and anglesong?

8:30 pm

Jacula

2nd sa4/5 is a sea creature - s + Swiss mountain. sa5.12 following is the plural.

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

ty jac

8:31 pm

Jacula

jmc - Yes, I told him that. Hope he doesn't leave his real lorry keys; he'll need them!

8:32 pm

Picklesny

so yes i have sa4/5 and sa5/12

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

and the pl (plural) of the sa4/5?

8:33 pm

Picklesny

got thsat one too

8:33 pm

Jacula

Oh, and in his dream, his ex-wife had set him up on 'a gospel site WITH photos'. He was horrified, tried to see her but couldn't, then spent hours and hours trying to find his missing lorry in a HUGE indoor lorry park.

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

there is another sa4/5 that rhymes with not soft

hmmm sounds like basic anxiety

8:44 pm

lbdawger

plural of the ta5, pickles

8:44 pm

Jacula

jmc - Very brave thing to do, building your own home. Oh, just saw what you said about your mum dying. I wasn't being bitchy or jealous, I promise. Seen too much of that in my own life to do the same to anyone else!

8:45 pm

lbdawger

it's going to be lovely once it's finished, JMC. i envy you the finished product but not the interim.

8:45 pm

jmc - my remark about not being able to afford it was not so much about building the house but affording the plot of land (with sea view) in an unfashionable and out of the way place that we found years ago. A building company suddenly noticed it about 3 years ago, put in for planning permission to do some horrible posh flats for business people thing on the land we had earmarked for a home, a wildlife plot etc. They went bust, but the council, who apparently took over the plot x years after the owner died, now has Â£ (or $) signs in their eyes.

Having all been made redundant a few months ago made us rethink the Christmas thing. We're giving token presents (but ones that people actually want or will like) this year, and we're doing a big famil meal on boxing day. It's quite liberating, and feels more like Christmas. I never 'do' Christmas before 12th Dec at earliest anyway.

8:57 pm

9:00 pm

mcurlschool

my family has for years drawn names for gift giving and last year my girls decided it was time for a change and sort of raised a ruckus that resulted in being able to "opt" out of the drawing---they caused a revolt of sorts with all of my "branch" of the family tree opting out AND my kids are only buying for the kids; my husband and I will do both our kids and grands....liberating is a gentle word--

9:00 pm

jmcnrick

i commissioned a painting of his house

9:00 pm

Dorens

well i gave m mom some shower gel that i thought she'd like last week for her birthday (just a little thing, to go along with the "big" gift. She emailed meyesterday asking if I'd mind exchanging it cause she doesn't like the idea of hazelnut coffee and would i switch it for something "more palatable" like vanilla or something citrusy. I emailed back no.

9:01 pm

Minveryork

I have changed my icon for tomorrow. Now I am off to bed

i just kind of think if you don't like what i give you, return it yourself, regift it, or let it sit on a shelf, like I do with the many things she's given me over the years that I haven't cared for. I wouldn't dream of asking her to exchange it for something else

MC the reason I am being mean this year about doing anything extra for family lunch is because I have done extra for years and not been appreciated. Last year was the straw that broke the camels back. We spent up to $100 on a plater and still had to pay for lunch

9:10 pm

Jacula

You don't know how many short stories have been written on that subject. Being short stories for magazines, that have to be upbeat, it always ends well. But in real life? Is Great Aunt Mathilda still simmering over the lavender bath cubes she sent to you in 1978 that she finally got regifted to by her brother's wife in 2002?

9:11 pm

Jacula

And then got back from you in 2010, complete with the little groove she made in the side of one of them 'just to see'?

9:12 pm

mcurlschool

I know exactly where you are coming from Herin. Similar feelings are why I'm not spending christmas day at my parents home with ALL the family but rather at my daughter's house with all of MY family.

9:12 pm

herinfernallady

MC that sounds nice.

9:13 pm

mcurlschool

It has been 3 years since all three of my kids, sons in law and grandkids will be together

9:13 pm

herinfernallady

I know I sound like a bitter old lady but I do spend a lot of time cooking and making things and planing and just felt under appreciated last year. The pay thing is expected because himself has a large family but to pay after you spend is just rude.

9:13 pm

herinfernallady

O MC that does sound delightful

9:14 pm

Jacula

Herin - same happened to me some years ago. I'm sure I've told this story on here before. 15 years spent in the kitchen for about 3 weeks before Christmas and then on Christmas ad Boxing Day. One year, I thought, 'I've had enough of this!' So, I booked a Boxing Day meal in a restaurant for us all. My MIL kicked up a hell of a fuss about it!

9:14 pm

mcurlschool

my son in in the Air Force and lives in NM; one son in law wks in Hawaii with his wife (my daughter) and granddaughter still living here (been a year almost)

9:15 pm

herinfernallady

But that is Boxing day. We figured that if we had spent extra would could have had a christmas feast of epic proportions at the hotel

9:16 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry I woke up on the grubby side today

9:16 pm

Jacula

Herin - the point was the we want Christmas Day for just us and our children, and Boxing Day was for all the rest.

9:17 pm

mcurlschool

no problem Herin--many people do that and many do things at the holiday that they really don't want to do. It takes courage to stand up and say NO. I wish for you the best holiday this year.

9:17 pm

herinfernallady

Well apparently we don't have rights since we dont have kids

9:18 pm

herinfernallady

MC they don't know I haven't said no. I just ahve kept the mouth shut on the volunteering

9:18 pm

Jacula

That was in the past, anyway. Different main man now. We share the cooking on both days and we have Christmas to ourselves every other year but do a New Year meal then.

9:19 pm

herinfernallady

I don't actually think I should type what I really think here it would be a long and profanity laden rant

9:19 pm

Jacula

Herin - it's got nothing to do with having or nat having children, it's about families.

9:19 pm

mcurlschool

well, actually saying no and just not volunteering are eqully difficult to do. I'm always saying I'll do this or that and the last couple of years I have "kept the mouth shut".....don't know if they've figured it out yet!

9:19 pm

It does with his

9:20 pm

Jacula

Herin - I see where you're coming from, but he needs to stand up for you.

9:20 pm

mcurlschool

hey stid!

9:20 pm

herinfernallady

Well my parents are in their 60's and this year is the first year they have had Christmas alone in the day and they are delighted

9:20 pm

herinfernallady

HI Stid.

9:21 pm

herinfernallady

Jac it isn't about that.

9:21 pm

stidmama

I am NOT saying no... and I am volunteering as much as I can. *grin* need all the "good press" I can get! LOL

9:21 pm

stidmama

hey lady.

9:22 pm

mcurlschool

Stiddy are the stid kids in trouble again?

9:22 pm

herinfernallady

Stid I am officially the tired and cranky one in our relationship.

9:23 pm

stidmama

um.... not so much again as still. but they are working through it

9:23 pm

Jacula

Herin - if you're talking about the sanctity of 'just the two of us', I thought you already knw I understand that. Why do you think me and Beloved do one year home and one year away?

9:24 pm

herinfernallady

No I mean I am the cranky one

9:24 pm

herinfernallady

I haven't even got a dress for the day which is not like me

9:25 pm

mcurlschool

good to hear. How you feeling today, stid?

9:25 pm

stidmama

ah, I thought you were talking about volunteering for things at work, not family. I boycott all family "events"

9:26 pm

herinfernallady

No family. Besides it looks like it is going to be 29C on the day. Can I swap with you guys please?

9:26 pm

stidmama

I am tired, mcurl -- the preschoolers on Thursday were cute but physically demanding and yesterday the debate meet was long and mentally demanding. I couldn't speak in straight sentences for a couple hours after I got up today!

9:26 pm

Jacula

Who needs a dress for the day? They can take you as they find you - naked all but for an apron, if it comes to it.

9:26 pm

herinfernallady

Stid I loved helping with 1st graders they are so cute

9:27 pm

Jacula

Herin - you boycott all family events? I can't keep up with your train of thought now. Sorry!

9:27 pm

stidmama

I loved working with the preschoolers, but I am even more convinced that my achy body isn't suited for the younger grades. And I really do enjoy the older kids (most of the time)

9:27 pm

herinfernallady

No I don't boycott family events that was stid

9:28 pm

herinfernallady

I love preps the first half of the year when they are not all obnoxious and learn bad habits from older graders

9:28 pm

mcurlschool

to funny stid; I stay away from preschool! Kindergarten is my limit ;-)......have to go for a bit BBL ***poof***

9:28 pm

stidmama

later mcurl

9:28 pm

herinfernallady

Have agreat day MC

9:29 pm

Jacula

Sorry Herin, I see now.

9:29 pm

stidmama

Jac -- I dislike family events immensely. I have decided no more "grand gatherings" but will get together with folks at other times that don't have a lot of expectations and commotion.

9:29 pm

herinfernallady

Now I feel like cake

9:29 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry i am so random today

9:30 pm

Jacula

stid - you have surprised me, saying that.

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

you don't look like cake

9:31 pm

stidmama

LOL jmc!

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

HAHA JM. I do have cake in my freezer though. Maybe I need a stretch and coffee

9:31 pm

Jacula

jmc - herin's probably snaffling my Christmas cakes off Facebook! *rushes into other room to check*

9:32 pm

stidmama

I don't do group events much anyway, Jac, and family events are never fun. Never. So for the last several years we have done what I call "shelter in place" and have had a lovely time.

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

No those cakes are pretty though Jac.

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

I made cake back in Nov and froze it

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

Stid do you go help at soup kitchen?

9:34 pm

Jacula

herin - I was pretty pleased with the way they turned out. The little one has now been boxed up and gone home with Beloved's parents after our meal out earlier. The one for my Mum will get to her later nd the one for us will stay put until it is sliced Xmas Eve and so on.

9:34 pm

stidmama

no lady, we do other things when we are able, but not that. Thing is, we don't observe most of the usual holidays, so it's just more pleasant to avoid people on those days.

9:36 pm

stidmama

there. down to 6.

9:36 pm

stidmama

lasp

9:36 pm

stidmama

oops.

9:37 pm

stidmama

good it didn't work. Didn't really think it would. LOL

9:37 pm

Jacula

Herin - if you make a proper fruit cake in September there's no need to freeze it. You wrap it in greaseproof paper and foil and put it in a tin and feed it with whiskey, brandy, sherry, rum, etc. I usually opt for whiskey and sherry. You pit marzipan (almond paste) over it 3 weeks before Xmas, an then you ice it about a week after that. Then you decorate the cake.

9:37 pm

stidmama

wow. sounds like it's pretty high-octane, Jan!

9:37 pm

stidmama

Jac. remember I said my brain isn't working right today?

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

Yep. Sounds good Jac but this was chocolate cake

9:39 pm

stidmama

hm. choclit cake soaked with RUM. and whipped cream. and choclit sauce. and ....

9:39 pm

Jacula

I'm wondering if this lack of knowledge about making fruit cakes is why I see people on the internet saying so often that they don't like fruit cakes? Fruit cakes need time to mature, even every day farmhouse fruit cakes should be left for at least 3 days before you eat them. Heavy fruit cakes need months to mature.

9:39 pm

uusue2

hi again all!

9:39 pm

stidmama

hey again sue!

9:40 pm

Good Enough

whew! baked 30 dozen cookies with my daughter today! I'll put some in the pb since we are drowning in them...

9:40 pm

uusue2

wow, GE!! that's worth going to the PB for!!

9:40 pm

suefrad625

hi all

9:40 pm

stidmama

THIRTY dozen?? *faint*

9:40 pm

lbdawger

*pops head in at the mention of cakes and cookies*

9:41 pm

stidmama

hey other sue! ((hugs))

9:41 pm

stidmama

LOL Lurker By Dawger....

9:41 pm

mab

U.S fruitcake is dreadful and not at all like the English version, Jac

9:41 pm

lbdawger

30 dozen!! oi and i thought i was tired after making 7 dozen rum balls!

9:42 pm

stidmama

five. this is taking forever

9:42 pm

lbdawger

some fruitcake is quite tasty, others should be used as weapons of mass destruction

9:42 pm

Good Enough

we made three varieties, all very simple.

9:42 pm

uusue2

18 here but Frank is about to come up with dinner, which will end it for me

9:42 pm

lbdawger

what kinds of cookies, GE?

9:43 pm

mab

it's the U.S. commercial, mass manufactured fruitcake that is terrible. I should have specified that.

9:43 pm

Good Enough

peanut butter blossoms (the ones with the kisses on top), melting moments (a simple almond cookie with powdered sugar) and no bake peanut butter drops

9:43 pm

lbdawger

today i made a gingerbread pudding. delish! good way to use up the gingerbread that kinda fell apart out of the moulds

9:44 pm

stidmama

yum, Good and LBD!

9:45 pm

herinfernallady

Well I am done and needing to move

9:45 pm

stidmama

four! :-D

9:45 pm

stidmama

YAY lady!!!

9:46 pm

lbdawger

whooo hooooo HERIN!!

9:46 pm

lbdawger

go stiddy!

9:46 pm

lbdawger

do you have any assignments this week, stid?

9:47 pm

stidmama

TWO...

9:47 pm

herinfernallady

OK I have to go and get things done. Talk later

9:47 pm

stidmama

only one assignment (tomorrow) LBD, but going in to the local school Tuesday and will watch the hiring boards to snag anything that looks interesting. I am finding that it's awful to be waiting and anticipating, but once I am in the classrooms I am enjoying it.

9:50 pm

stidmama

later lady

9:50 pm

suefrad625

yahoo lady

9:50 pm

suefrad625

go stid

9:50 pm

suefrad625

A's done

9:50 pm

lbdawger

waiting is always the pits. but you're getting yourself known to the schools, and the next hiring you'll have a better "in" with them.

9:50 pm

stidmama

I don't have to be up as early tomorrow as sometimes -- the official start time is about 8:30, so I will get up around 7 and leave at 8. Instead of awake at 5:30 and up as soon as I get a call. :-D

9:51 pm

lbdawger

bye, Herin, hagd

9:51 pm

stidmama

that's my plan, LBD! AND I know now some schools I definitely will be watching for openings. Although, I have to admit it's getting more comfortable to not know, and it's nice to be able to say I am taking a day or two off when I need to.

9:51 pm

lbdawger

what grade for tomorrow?

9:52 pm

stidmama

babblefirweeds! :-D

9:52 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hoooooo STID!!

9:52 pm

9:52 pm

lbdawger

go sue!

9:52 pm

stidmama

6th grade again, this one is at the upper end of an elementary school. friday was the first grade in a middle school. There are significant differences in the attitudes of kids based on the environment

9:52 pm

stidmama

go sue go!!!!

9:52 pm

Good Enough

yay stid!!

9:52 pm

Jacula

I've been trying to get Beloved up out of bed since 3am, when he told me he HAD to be up. It's now 3.53am, I've tried again.

9:53 pm

stidmama

here's my current time-waster. I love PAPER snowflakes, and this website is one I have enjoyed every winter for several years now: http://snowdays.popularfront.com/

9:53 pm

Good Enough

just listed. embarassed at the easy ones ive missed

9:53 pm

stidmama

oh man, Jac -- I hope he's okay?

9:53 pm

lbdawger

so true, stid. environment makes a big difference in learning.

9:54 pm

Jacula

stid - he's okay, just not easy to wake since his bad dream and restlessness earlier.

9:54 pm

lbdawger

GE, i couldn't believe all the plurals i missed today. those darn essessss are in weird places

9:55 pm

stidmama

oh, I see -- hold a cup of hot coffee nearby? turn on the lights? (those are things that can help me wake up sometimes)

9:55 pm

lbdawger

time for me to head off to the pillows. see you all tomorrow. have fun with the 6th graders, stid.

9:56 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams, LBD! I will have fun! Wish you could come play, too -- maybe some day.

9:56 pm

Jacula

Already turned on the lights, stid, Can't do the coffee thing since the smell of that would make me throw up before midday. Having said that, I guess me vomiting on him WOULD get him out of bed. LOL

9:56 pm

stidmama

I am going to head out, too -- want to repack my sub kit, and get a few things back in the car. Then I shall collapse in bed and happily listen to old radio plays until I fall asleep...

9:57 pm

Jacula

Anytime in the morning it's tea, PG tips with milk, for me.

9:58 pm

stidmama

have a lovely day everyone -- hope your darling wakes up soon, Jac. **puts hot egg nog in PB**

*poof*

9:59 pm

Jacula

*trys not to puke at idea of hot egg nog at 4 in the morning*, but thanks for the thought, stid.x

10:01 pm

Jacula

Now thinking of Faron Young's song 'Four in the Morning' - it reminds me of Beloved's Dad, which does NOT turn me on.

10:02 pm

Jacula

Even though I'm at the weird age of being betwixt the two of them, so could have picked a fella of either age. I went for the younger one.

10:06 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, the older version wasn't on offer, but other older men, nt in Beloved's family were.

10:09 pm

Jacula

No one seems to need clues now, so I'll be going. 10 minute window for clues, if you need any.
