jillibus

*grammar

1:08 am

Trifioso

1:14 am

rururocks

mixing is what did it tri..

1:14 am

hurshy

what um, happened to you when all hell broke loose with your tonsils trif?

1:15 am

Trifioso

artery ruptured, and luckily one of my students at the time was visiting me, and could drive. he had to BOOK to get me to the docs in time, and plugging up the hole was a NIGHTMARE

1:16 am

hurshy

whoa that is bad

1:16 am

hurshy

*scared*

1:18 am

Trifioso

this was in 2001, so my youngest was 2 at the time. if you think it is easy to explain to your little children why mummy has blood spurting out of her mouth, you are wrong.

1:18 am

hurshy

well you know i just have cats but

1:18 am

hurshy

this was because you ate toast?

1:20 am

Trifioso

well, that and because I was an idiot, and the scabls were grossing me out, so I sort of forced the toast to do a bit of exfoliating....really, really stupid. also, I have red hair, and I did not know at that time that redheads have a tendency to bleed like stink. live and learn!

1:20 am

hurshy

i have red hair but i have never had a tendency to bleed but i haven't done any forcing i swear

1:21 am

Trifioso

geesh, I am probably going WAY down in everyone's estimation tonight, eh?

1:21 am

magazinemom

lyn, there is a web site, but over the chrissy break, no-one updated it, consequently a lot of peeps went swimming (including kids) when they shouldn't have.

VolleymomDee

hold on I have it saved...

4:21 am

rbud

I used to be an excel whiz once upon a time

4:21 am

VolleymomDee

me, too, but had never used this formula before: Instructions from ARB for putting babble grid results into profile:

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

4:21 am

rbud

set up record-keeping for the quality control labe I used to work in

I am for sure lo4 this am

7:53 am

suefrad625

can i have a clue for the 8 pls

7:54 am

suefrad625

does it build ?

7:54 am

hurshy

does anyone know - i mean actually know - why it is that a computer can have a clock working properly but when it has to think about how long something will take or how much battery life it has left, it can't keep any remotely accurate track of time at all?

7:54 am

hurshy

it builds up :)

7:55 am

suefrad625

your cpu might be dieing

7:55 am

suefrad625

clock for time is different then the math coprosser

7:55 am

hurshy

no, all computers are always like that, haven't you noticed?

7:55 am

suefrad625

the lithium battery is time

7:56 am

suefrad625

the processor is the adding

7:56 am

hurshy

they say "2 hours to install" and then it actually takes 20 mins or whatever, and sometimes the amount of time it thinks goes back up, and then back down.

7:56 am

suefrad625

told you spelling is not working today

7:56 am

suefrad625

oh, that time

7:56 am

suefrad625

it is because the speed on the lines change according to what else you are doing

7:56 am

suefrad625

it is called bus speed

7:57 am

suefrad625

picture it as if it is the Highway

7:57 am

suefrad625

the more traffic the slower you move, but on the gps it used the speed limit not the actual speed at the time

7:58 am

suefrad625

and download speed is the same

7:58 am

suefrad625

more traffic, more time

7:58 am

suefrad625

was that too much info?

7:58 am

hurshy

ok but like one website where i upload videos for work ALWAYS starts by saying it will take days, then rapidly moves down through the hours... why can't it realize that it's NEVER right at first and just wait until it knows it has a slightly more accurate idea.

7:59 am

hurshy

is it just being like scotty?

7:59 am

suefrad625

yes, it works from modem speed and then makes you feel better that you have a much faster connection

8:00 am

hurshy

does this mean you understand my scotty reference?

8:00 am

suefrad625

also, uploading is like gravity, your uploads are much slower then your downloads

8:00 am

suefrad625

yes it is very logical

8:00 am

suefrad625

oh wait that was spock

8:01 am

suefrad625

nope, dont get it

8:01 am

Kazzer99

or "she canny take it Captain " or something like that

8:01 am

hurshy

kirk: "scotty, do you always multiply your repair estimates by a factor of four?"

8:01 am

suefrad625

yes, it is a scotty, you can give it gas

8:01 am

Kazzer99

aha

8:02 am

hurshy

scotty: "aye, captain, how else would i keep my reputation as a miracle worker"

8:02 am

suefrad625

well, i was on the right show

8:02 am

suefrad625

a little more help with the 8pls and then off to church I go

8:03 am

hurshy

oh well the reason i asked is cause i was watching the battery time i have left decrease, and as i don't feel like moving, i guess ttfn. it builds up in your chimney sue.

8:04 am

suefrad625

battery life is like the gas in your car, the more you demand from it, different apps and network connections, the more you use and the faster it goes.

8:04 am

suefrad625

what does ttfn stand for

8:05 am

suefrad625

do you think it can already be the scars coming off??? it's only day 5

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Today should be the last bad day, H. Kids usually have about 5 bad days then start to improve. Then th5 are the kids that eat mac & cheese within several hrs of surgery.

That granulation tissue is fragile. Did you look at your throat in the mirror? Gross yellow-white slime where the tonsils used to be.

9:04 am

hurshy

yes gross from what i can see from how much i can open my mouth

9:04 am

crosshair

poor hurshy:(

9:04 am

hurshy

i heard the worst pain is when the scabs come off

9:05 am

hurshy

which i heard in adults was usu between day 7 and 11

9:05 am

KatieMcG

yes we are coming in June - it looks really cheap which confused me lol.

9:05 am

Scrabbler

See, if you had wrist surgery you could ignore your wrist for a wk or 2 and not use it. But your throat must be used for breathing, swallowing, sneezing, coughing...

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Kitt, tell me exactly when and I can meet you if I have time.

9:06 am

hurshy

i have been doing pretty well about not coughing and i have not sneezed.

9:07 am

Scrabbler

The scabs aren't like other scabs, because the tissue stays moist. When healing is complete underneath the tissue just sloughs off.

9:07 am

hurshy

that makes sense

9:07 am

Scrabbler

BRB, must grab yogurt.

9:07 am

lil*monkey

do you hack up the scab or swallow it?

9:07 am

hurshy

sorry everyone this is gross

9:08 am

That would be great scrabbler, we are only in Niagara for one night and then on to Lake erie for a night before going to Parkersburg but would be great if we could link up.

9:13 am

Scrabbler

OK, Kitt. When you have details, let me know.

9:13 am

wvteach

The falls are quite a different experience in winter. The ice formations are beautiful. Do do the Maid of the Mist so you can get closer to the falls. Walk through the tunnelsso you can get a different view. Make sure to see the lights on the falls at night. Drive up along the river above the falls to get some other unique views

9:13 am

hego

At least you can talk to us on Babble without pain. : )

9:14 am

9:15 am

i am worried bc my husband asked for zinc and may be coming down with something. if he infects me will that be very very bad?

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Yep, today you are not hallucinating, Hego.

9:15 am

KatieMcG

fantastic we will definitely do that then. i'm looking at the grand ole opry now and the general jackson riverboat in Nashville - this is not going to be a cheap vacation!

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

bluebird cafe for good music as well katie

9:16 am

If you start sneezing and coughing that could be bad. So you might need zinc and Echinacea too.

9:16 am

Lakes Erie & Ontario have become fishing meccas.

9:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

I was asleep by 10.

9:50 am

welki

how many days will you be in the states, katie?

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

well i was on a filing and cleaning tear. but i broke a framed pic i had had for thirty years

Babblers are exciting people.

Oh we are stopping at the best western on music row so it will be just round down the road

In our way.

9:50 am

Scrabbler

I am a real party animal.

9:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

Why is sleep a terror these days?

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

ok katie, this is a huge country compared to gb.

9:51 am

welki

my friends from uk are always amazed at how HUGE the u.s.a. is, that you can't drive from one end to the other in just a few hours

9:51 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, music, books, internet are your friends now.

9:51 am

hurshy

withdrawal from clonazepam :(

9:51 am

hurshy

yes i ended up watching friends for awhile

9:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

The USA is a bunch of disparate territories that would be at war all the time if someone hadn't had the idea of uniting the states

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

lol when i hear of you going to spain or greece for vacation, or france, i am enviou of your proximity

9:52 am

KatieMcG

No we are there for 16 days with 3 in NY, 3 in Nashville, 1 in Niagara, 1/2 in Lake Erie and lots and lots of driving. we are spending about a week with hubby's relatives as well

9:52 am

hego

My friends in Europe had no idea.

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

are you driving those destinations? they are long drives

9:53 am

hurshy

i have to say it seems really irresponsible that i have been on this medicine for years and no doctor ever mentioned that it was clearly only working as a placebo after about 9 weeks...

9:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't want to stop ambien because it is my insurance

9:53 am

hurshy

ambien made me throw up

9:53 am

Scrabbler

I wouldn't be surprised if the US has another civil war.

9:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

Massachusetts would be at war with New Hampshire all the time.

9:53 am

KatieMcG

we are used to driving a lot just because of the type of people we are. I would think nothing of driving for a hour to meet someone for a coffee, however I know plenty of people who think 15 miles is a long way.

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

i think we are now. only no real bloodshed, although plenty of casualties

9:54 am

Scrabbler

The doc WANTED to continue the placebo effect, but it wasn't benign because you were not on a sugar pill.

9:54 am

hego

ny to Nashville. About 1000 miles.

9:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

that's too bad. (about the ambien).

9:54 am

hurshy

well why didn't they tell the pharmacy to give me a sugar pill???

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

lots of traffic even on interstates. good thing you are not driving tennessee during footbal season.

9:54 am

hego

maybe 900

9:55 am

KatieMcG

we are flying from NY to Pittsburg and then driving to Niagara - Lake Erie - Parkersburg - Nashville and back then back to Pittsburg. The biggie is Parkersburg to Nashville which is 8 hours, but we will share the driving and make a road trip out of it

9:55 am

Scrabbler

You will see so much by driving, Kitt. And you will hear different dialects: New York City, Canadian and southern (Tennesee.)

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

i remember that trip, pa to nashville then to memphis as brutal on a saturday

9:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

we're in some kind of war- but the US does it differently, so everyone is under the illusion thaat we have a democracy.

9:55 am

hego

Katie, good plan.

9:56 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, it is not ethical to rx placebos, except when people are enrolled in medical studies.

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

amen kap. i am watching rick santorum dscribing obama as the great divider.

9:56 am

hego

It's a republic, actually.

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

they are ALLdividers

9:56 am

hurshy

well i don't know how ethical i think it is to subject my kidneys to years of clonazepam as a placebo!

9:56 am

hego

agree TO

9:56 am

wvteach

When you are in Parkersburg, take the trip out to Blennerhasset Island (in the Ohio river) - old historic mansion

9:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, that is correct- it is a republic.

9:57 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Hursh. Patients should be told the facts and the truth.

9:57 am

hego

9:57 am

10:01 am

hego

Poor TO

10:01 am

Scrabbler

But hego, some parents unleash their wrath on me because they "know" their child "needs" an antibiotic.

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

therefore all the eating is actually theraputic :)

10:01 am

Scrabbler

What does your dentist say, Owl?

and now it is time for the staggeringly popular crossy,s quote of the day!!

1:41 pm

crosshair

"None of our men are "experts." We have most unfortunately found it necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert -- because no one ever considers himself expert if he really knows his job. A man who knows a job sees so much more to be done than he has done, that he is always pressing forward and never gives up an instant of thought to how good and how efficient he is. Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets into the "expert" state of mind a great number of things become impossible." -- From Henry Ford Sr., "My Life and Work," p. 86 (1922):

ok..well..turkey is basically done and we have to drive it out to my mum's while keeping it hot ( my mum cant cook turkey for some reason... she sticks it int he oven... at right time... and put the other dishes in the oven at appropriate time ( squash or scallopped potatoes or whatever)... and everything is done on time but the turkey is rare...we dont know why ( no not frozen )....so i do the turkey/stuffing/gravy thing for her...

3:29 pm

carleekat

and we've had the thermostat checked...

3:29 pm

huh. there goes my theory then

3:29 pm

3 years running turkey dinners were 3+ hours late on the turkey... with reheated everything else...one year mum litterally had a melt down and started throwing things she was so upset...( totally UNLIKE my mum)...so..i do the bird

3:30 pm

Carlee, has your Mom checked the calibration of her oven?

3:30 pm

3:30 pm

I am too ivesy, it is very tedious to have a list and then get morewords, I cannot get babble,morewords and a list to stay on one screen.

3:31 pm

3:31 pm

carleekat

yes....she had the repair man out 3 times... they replaced the stove entirely.... she cant cook turkey

3:31 pm

periwinkle

3:32 pm

ivesy3

very tedious indeed.. cant figure out what i have and dont have .. may just let this one go.

3:32 pm

MollyL

That is perplexing. Because there is not much more to cooking turkey than putting it in the oven and cooking it for the required amount of time at the right temperature.

3:33 pm

periwinkle

I will plod along.I did not finish a few games in the past few weeks and my ranking has gone way down. and it has not come up even tho I have finished all grids in the past week

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

read carlees turkey story.my father also fought with turkeys,he always fought to get it to look exactly like on tv,then one year he got serious.he put little slits in the kin and slid in perfect skewers of frozen butterlet the over pre-heat for 2 hours to make sure the temperature was exact,did the stuffing outside the bird so as to not interfere with the hot air circulating around the bird,had a special basting spoon and basted the bird every 15 minutes.it was done..it was perfect,the skin was a uniform brown and a piercing with the meat probe brought fort clear fragrant juices...then it happened.when he went to pull the rack out to lift the roating pan,the back of the rack came out of the oven slot,the entire rack tipped suddenly forward under the weight of 20 pounds of foul and the entire thing tipped over and the bird shot out onto the kitchen floor,skidded into a small utility closet and right into a turd filled tray of cat litter...the cats at like kings for weeks...

After getting a babble sc 5/12 of 1992 points, I gave up on grid. Wish I could have sc 6/24 higher, but I knew th 5/12 was no way I would finish grid, so he 4/5 is a story of clues. I have been a co 7/36 and tried to co 6/24 my hubby into joining Babbleland.However,the idea of him joining Babble do 4/5 not bo 4/7 well with him at all. I tell him to just take a sh4/5 at it, but he won't even try the game for a few se 6/24s. Hubby is a sn5/10 when it comes to Babble. I tell him how co 4/5 babblers are. He believes my Babble chatter is a bunch of ho 5/16 and sh 5/12 rubbish.He's le5/14 of the chog.He thinks a bunch of old co 4/5s with nothing better to do babble. Hubby is such a he 4/5. He laughs at me when I tell him I have to have a do 4/5 of Babble every day. He thinks I am lo 4/5 for being addicted to a game. He hopes I will some day lo4/4e my addiction.I would just like to kick him in the buttocks with my sh 4/5s. My ey 4/6 are starting to get tired.It is time for me to be a sc7/32 and sc5/12 on out of he 4/5. I am going to go be a no 6/21 and get a snack to no 4/5 on. I hope you have found some ot5/12 words with this story. I will be back so 4/4 to help clue.

6:13 pm

sprite

6:13 pm

cosdem

6:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

6:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Downstairs?

6:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ah, all the soap fans are coming out!

MollyL

6:14 pm

cosdem

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Vivian was getting boring. She's off in India.

6:14 pm

cosdem

vivian is never boring!

6:15 pm

cosdem

marlena is boring. so is sami.

6:15 pm

MollyL

I never could understand the Sami fans. Brat is the word. I have no idea why people like her so much.

6:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Marlena is the absolute worst actress ever. She gasped at something last week- it was so funny.

6:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

i keep typing helot.

6:15 pm

cosdem

i may watch days this week if will is truly comingout like the rumors say

6:16 pm

Minveryork

Sami does nothing but shed tears. I can't stand her either. I just read that Lucas is coming back to the show. I like him.

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

sammi had a long stretch of being good- but she's bad again.

6:16 pm

cosdem

smeone needs to tell diedre hall that there is indeed such a thing as "too much botox"

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, it's been a tease for weeks. He is struggling with unnatural feelings.

6:16 pm

sprite

every bit of botox is too much

6:16 pm

MollyL

My favorite episode of Days EVER was the one where Austin backed into Sami...TWICE!!!

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Who should tell her- Lauren Koslow?

6:17 pm

cosdem

i am also going to be watching one life to live... i guess there was a breakout of the near prision and all the crazies are coming to llanview... int he final two weeks of the show lol

6:17 pm

LeslieAnn

actually i read a story a while back about how many middle-aged actresses were so terrible to watch now because they all had too much botox and couldn't make normal facial expressions anymore

6:17 pm

cosdem

my favorite days episode is when vivian buried carly alive

6:17 pm

Picklesny

Min, i 'm a long time OLTL fan, or was

6:17 pm

sprite

that makes sense to me, LeslieAnn

6:18 pm

LeslieAnn

and you keep wondering when in the storyline they're going to explain wtf happened to their faces

6:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

On soaps there is the worst plastic surgery ever. Vivian got buried earlier this year in a coffin she made for Maggie.

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

has anyone seen kathy lee gifford lately? she cannot move the lower half of her face.

6:18 pm

sprite

I guess they will have to go back to the old story of how they were making faces when the clock struck 12...

6:18 pm

cosdem

i saw that .. i tuned in for that scene lol. i read up on days online... its easier than watching the boring parts

6:18 pm

Minveryork

I never really watched Days of Our Lives, but read about it in Soap Digest.I have a feeling I might be watching it more after "One Life to Live" goes off the air in a few weeks.

6:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

After a while the script had to reference the smell in the coffin- because viewers wondered how she was going to the bathroom.

6:19 pm

cosdem

min -- my friend whos an avid OLTL fan is now watching Days as well so he can have a soap to watch after OLTL leaves

6:19 pm

Picklesny

I thought Friday was the last OLTL

6:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

lately they are having all these cheesy romance novel sex scenes with candles

6:20 pm

cosdem

i thought there was two more weeks?

6:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or is that standard for soaps.

6:20 pm

Nef

HarryHood

6:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

6:24 pm

HarryHood

I started watching around when luke first raped laura at the club

6:25 pm

HarryHood

then it started getting silly with the cassadines and the weather machine and ice princess and all

6:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Worst male actor- Matt Ashford.

6:25 pm

Minveryork

I do not think that scar is there anymore, but Todd still has his scar on One Life to Live. I am glad the old Todd is back

6:25 pm

sprite

hi Harry, happy NW to you

6:25 pm

cosdem

6:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think I have given up on this grid.

Cosdem, it's a soap opera, where rapid aging often occurs.

6:29 pm

cosdem

6:29 pm

Nef

Kaplan the Magne

It's called SORAS- Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome.

6:30 pm

HarryHood

6:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Death is meaningless on a soap.

6:31 pm

cosdem

yes just ask marlena who's apparently died a few times

6:31 pm

Minveryork

Kinda like Michael Cortinthos on GH was eight when he got shot in the head. Was in a coma for a year and woke up as a teenager with blonde hair and anger issues.

6:31 pm

cosdem

the only ce5/12 i have is a plural

6:31 pm

LeslieAnn

first one i have is a plural of ce + "again" prefix, harry

6:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Do you know you can take the entire contents of someone's brain and put it on a CD?

6:31 pm

Picklesny

that's the magic of soap, tragedy i8s never far neither is rebirth

6:31 pm

HarryHood

6:31 pm

Minveryork

LOL, SORAS! Good one Kaplan the Magne!

6:31 pm

John has been dead but they brought him back at viewer protest.

6:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't make it up.

6:32 pm

cosdem

i wonder if Luna Moody will somehow show up in the final episode of OLTL :)

6:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Then they fired him. Then they brought him back with Marlena. But they never fire Sammi.

6:32 pm

Picklesny

they'ld have to bring back max

6:33 pm

cosdem

true.... luna's death was really sad

6:33 pm

cosdem

alison sweeney is way too important to NBC to be fired.

6:33 pm

Picklesny

i wonder if any OLTL characters will move to Port Charles?

6:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think the worst thing was killing Bo and Hope's little boy. I don't think they should have gone there.

6:33 pm

bookwomen

According Kassie Max is not coming back.

6:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Because of Biggest Loser?

I will never know about the flying teeth and why they won't die. Nef, go to bed young lady. You deserve some good rest.

7:29 pm

amelu0218

7:30 pm

If you can't find someone else to bring the chihuahua over, I would love to see you -- and you would like my friend, too. She's a wonderfully warm and intelligent person, too (like you, that is).

7:58 pm

7:59 pm

Minveryork

That's great rbud. I did not think my story was good today.

8:00 pm

cosdem

found a few words from the story just now :)

8:00 pm

rbud

is that the man's name ro6? hard to clue, def. says it's a name for a gun

8:01 pm

cosdem

but i cant figure out the co7 and co6 from your story hmmm

8:01 pm

stidmama

LOL she lives in Ohio, jes...

8:01 pm

lynxxx

ro6/7 old fashioned boys name - like to save or re**u* someone, change the vowels

8:02 pm

ty for the ro6/7

8:02 pm

stidmama

and I will text you from my cell phone when I get into town next time so you have mine. Thanks.

8:02 pm

jesdraggon

he'd fit as carry on :)

8:03 pm

rbud

co6 is to "wheedle" someone into something, to convince them to do it, sort of bribe them into it... am I helping any? I think my cluer is broke today

8:04 pm

cosdem

a lil bit... i think i know what you mean.. but i cant rememeber the word lol

8:05 pm

stidmama

you're so funny... she already has one dog, though. Today my Lucky is feeling very poorly and I will likely be taking him in tomorrow unless he starts eating. I suspect his pancreas is acting up again. He hasn't wanted to eat for the last couple days, and doesn't want to play, either. *worried mama look* I am not too worried yet, because he sometimes goes a couple days and then gets better. But if he's still unhappy tomorrow... *sigh* It's easy for me to think we could afford another dog, until Lucky has issues, and then I remember why we are so much in debt.

8:05 pm

jesdraggon

aww, poor lucky :(

8:05 pm

lynxxx

co & "have m***y on me" & vwl

8:07 pm

cosdem

thank yoU!

8:07 pm

lynxxx

I know what you mean Stid, was thinking of getting #2 greyhound but worked our roughly that Stew costs me $100 a month and that is in good health (includes insurance which I wouldn't be without now)

8:08 pm

jesdraggon

i refuse to work out how much my critters cost me...i'd probably die of shock.

8:09 pm

stidmama

yep. We don't have insurance for Lucky... probably should look into it, though. He costs about $80 a month for his special food. They're not inexpensive, but they are worth it!

8:09 pm

stidmama

oh phone...

8:09 pm

stidmama

you don't get bulk discounts, jes?

8:09 pm

lynxxx

Our last baby cost about $10k over 3 years so I learned my lesson very well

8:10 pm

jesdraggon

heh. i get service discounts, cuz i don't have to charge myself for my own time.

8:11 pm

jesdraggon

but, not counting fosters, i still have to feed 2 large dogs, 2 normal cats, a diabetic cat, buy insulin for the cat, feed a dozen chickens, 3 horses (one of whom gets special senior food), meds for the old/falling apart dog, hay for rabbits and guinea pig is minimal compared to horses, but adds a couple bales...

8:11 pm

stidmama

true, service discounts would be nice; I can't imagine feeding that many critters, though.

8:11 pm

lynxxx

My Lord!

8:12 pm

stidmama

you might try switching to insects, jes -- stick insects thrive on readily available blackberry leaves...

8:12 pm

jesdraggon

plus routine things like vaccines for the whole lot of them (i buy them at cost, but still have to buy them)

8:12 pm

jesdraggon

oh, insects! hah, i forgot--there are scorpions and a roach colony too :) they don't cost much upkeep though.

8:12 pm

stidmama

rofl

8:13 pm

jesdraggon

pelleted food for the chinchillas...

8:13 pm

jesdraggon

and don't even think about how much it cost to build the chicken coop and fence in the field!

8:13 pm

lynxxx

must go - bye all (and you can keep the roaches Jes)

8:13 pm

stidmama

if you feed the chinchillas to the cats and the chickens to the dogs and ...

8:14 pm

jesdraggon

bye. lynxxx! don't you know roaches are the "in" accessory pet now? :D

8:14 pm

stidmama

have a lovely day, lynxxx! Good to see you again. Hope your pet costs this year will be reasonable.

8:14 pm

jesdraggon

heheh. but then we wouldn't have eggs from the chickens

8:15 pm

stidmama

oh, that's true. I am spending $5/week on fresh eggs from the local farm. I would love to get chickens one of these days, but must get the rest of my yard in order, first.

8:15 pm

melonheadjujube

hi, all. Happy New Year.

8:15 pm

jesdraggon

a while ago, someone was trying to get a tax break for pets through congress. i said at the time that i would vote against it, think it's not how government should be subsizing people, but boy if it passed anyway, i'd use the crap out of it! :)

8:15 pm

melonheadjujube

8:15 pm

stidmama

hey melon!

8:15 pm

jesdraggon

hi melon :)

8:16 pm

stidmama

I wouldn't mind just having the child deductions go past age 17... since both my kids were/are in high school longer than most.

8:16 pm

jesdraggon

i thought they went to 18?

8:17 pm

jesdraggon

haven't paid much attention though, as i don't have any dependents

8:17 pm

melonheadjujube

I see there's 5 singletons on the grid. Always makes nbt interesting.

8:17 pm

melonheadjujube

hi jes & stid

8:18 pm

stidmama

Either way, one kid was in school past 18, the other will be there past 19. So all the expenses of parenting will continue. Oh well.

8:18 pm

jesdraggon

the single o is pretty easy, i haven't gotten any of the e's though, melon

8:18 pm

stidmama

NBT wasn't awful today, melon and halfway was manageable. My goal is 100, and I have to find 7 more for that.

8:19 pm

stidmama

most of the E words are babblets, jes

8:19 pm

jesdraggon

they can't get part time jobs while in school to help out?

8:19 pm

cosdem

one of the single e is easy too. ey4

8:19 pm

jesdraggon

oh, fishsticks! thanks, cos

8:20 pm

cosdem

8:20 pm

jesdraggon

i got a set of ey words from the other e....never even looked to turn it around!

8:20 pm

stidmama

Not really, jes -- we live too far from the usual job sources for kids without wheels. And it's very difficult right now for teens to find jobs in our area.

8:20 pm

jesdraggon

ah, that sucks

8:20 pm

melonheadjujube

8:21 pm

jesdraggon

8:22 pm

stidmama

and down to 98.

8:23 pm

stidmama

Well, the elder one now has a part-time job at a local music store which he can do even with his college schedule.

8:23 pm

melonheadjujube

:) stid

8:23 pm

jesdraggon

that's good :)

8:23 pm

cosdem

getting a job is a rarity now :(

8:23 pm

stidmama

The younger one has previously been in plays all summer long, but could potentially find at least part-time work either with the theater or for some of the oyster farms this coming summer.

8:25 pm

jesdraggon

oyster farms... that sounds... fun? tell him to wash his hands lots and avoid the vibrio and noro :)

8:25 pm

stidmama

oh! there is an SE 7 that is one of trifioso's kids' nicknames!!!

8:26 pm

stidmama

*grin* my brother grew up smashing moon snails for "grandpa" (his best friend's grandfather) who ran an oyster farm. we have two at the end of our half-mile road!

8:26 pm

stidmama

And yes, we wash our hands frequently when we are working with our own bags of oysters and digging clams.

8:29 pm
