Hi jilli. How goes the convolescence?

1:09 am

jillibus

didn't have bridge today -- went to an amazing birthday party for an amazing 80-yr-old friend

1:09 am

rururocks

that's sounds like what the patient needed

1:10 am

jillibus

92 guests at a local hotel -- all arranged by her d-i-l in Hong Kong, who was there.

1:11 am

jan

Wow, sounds like quite a do!

1:11 am

flosey

sounds like fun jilli

1:12 am

jillibus

this 80-yr-old is a constant world traveller, hiker, kayaker, mother of four great adults -- incredible -- and such a sense of humour

1:13 am

jillibus

and she has macular degeneration -- can't see much but uses her computer, etc etc -- no holding her back!

1:14 am

flosey

amazing indeed

1:15 am

rururocks

I can't believe there are really 12 7's in this grid!

1:20 am

rururocks

I don't have anything bigger than a 6

1:21 am

jillibus

not a patch on the birthday girl -- she has done the Camino in Spain four times -- walking over the mountains and all across the country -- just in recent years. I wish you could have seen the birthday cake, secially made in Vancouver and brought over this morning. It showed a mountain, with a model of her sitting on tip with a gin and tonic in her hand, surrounded by signposts of all the countries she's been to, plus other little models of her hiking up the mountain and whitewater kayaking.

1:21 am

flosey

wow jilli, what a gal

1:22 am

jan

Correction to earlier post: I can't believe there are 3 8's 12 7's and 234 words all told in this grid!

1:22 am

jillibus

I know what you mean, jan, lol!

1:23 am

flosey

1:23 am

I only have 1 7

1:23 am

flosey

That's why I have flosey. I wonder if they're the same.

1:24 am

jillibus

1:25 am

jan

I have the al set that jilli clued, a ta/7 and a sa/7

1:25 am

jan

Oh, that ti/7 is barely a legitimate word!! Thanks flosey.

1:26 am

flosey

yes, really a bit silly

1:26 am

rururocks

really.. it's a clean x off the grid

1:27 am

jan

OK so 3 7's down, and 9 to go. I'm afraid I may have a defective grid, though. It clearly doesn't have so many 7's.

Looks like it could be good. I'll have to find it. Thanks.

good morning all :)

8:28 am

yes,he take voice recor5ding and inprints then on a ring and you can make a voice pattern from it at any time,scan it and hear our beloved voice

i think that is so cool...maybe someday i will have a "beloved" to do that with ;) or maybe get my kids to call out "mom" with that annoying nagging tone hahaha

8:29 am

crosshair

lol

8:30 am

MollyL

I love those new recordable story books. They are especially nice for kids with parents away, serving in the military.

8:30 am

carleekat

oh..what would be sooo cool..is that infant cry that goes away after a couple months and you dont even realise its gone until you hear a newborn cry...

8:30 am

crosshair

indeed

8:31 am

crosshair

or that baby laugh they do,and they laugh so much they sigh at the end of it

8:31 am

carleekat

yeap...that too...

8:31 am

carleekat

or "mama" when they first speak

8:32 am

crosshair

now something like that would be cool to etch on a ring

8:32 am

carleekat

( carlee's heart is breaking with the passage of time )

8:32 am

crosshair

and you can scan it and hear it any time in the future

8:32 am

carleekat

i know... :(

8:33 am

crosshair

they also do fingerprint impressions on the rings

8:35 am

carleekat

anyway...i am excited about the pieces...i rarely treat myself..and i stumbled on this artist through pinterest... and saw one piece and fell in love...saw that ratings from people were all super positive... and thought...yeap..i need a mid january pick me up after the crap at christmas and the past week

8:36 am

MollyL

Oh, I hate to ask, but what happened this week?

8:36 am

crosshair

well,it is a good treat for all that hard work

8:37 am

carleekat

just kid crap...well..not really... no more kid crap than am used to but my daughter said something that seriously twigged something in my unconscious..and an hour later i was having a complete breakdown and i had 2 appointments with the college chaplain and another sceduled for a week tues...

8:38 am

carleekat

i am "ok" now. it was a moment of I do not care who sees me crying in the halls i need to speak to someone NOW..not in 5 mins..not in 10 mins not in an hour but NOW

8:40 am

MollyL

Did you tell your daughter how deeply what she said affected you? Because if she doesn't, she should. It is the only way people learn to think before they speak.

8:41 am

MollyL

*If she doesn't know

8:42 am

carleekat

she now is currently not speaking to me... she will when she needs a ride somewhere...and I will...but she is lashin gout cus she has reached the angry part of her grieving process to the "collapse" of our family

8:44 am

carleekat

we will deal... all in good time... she needs time... I do too so i dont get all super emotional and say something i will regret out of hurt myself

8:44 am

cybernan

no expert today, I see

8:45 am

MollyL

Well that's fine and she can grieve all she wants. But you should not be her whipping post. I don't understand why this all gets taken out on you.

8:47 am

carleekat

we all have to grieve our own way molls..and this is her way...being the adult...i have to accept that...and be the parent and give her the space she needs atm to process

8:47 am

carleekat

she and i had a great relationship and it will be great again... right now we are going through some serious speed bumps but that too shall pass

8:47 am

cybernan

how old is she carlee?

8:48 am

MollyL

Giving her space is fine, we all need our space. Letting her cast ugly aspersions on you is another thing entirely. And she is not a child anymore. She is a young woman.

8:48 am

carleekat

almost 16 cyber that stage of mum/ daughter hell

8:48 am

MollyL

And I will shut up now.

8:49 am

carleekat

she didnt molls....just her choice of wording tripped something else entirely inside me.. :) this meltdown was me healing not her lashing

8:49 am

cybernan

lol - that is true for sure - but old enough to learn to exercise a little self-control over her frustrations maybe?

8:50 am

MollyL

Sorry Carlee, you are the one who used the term "lashing out".

8:50 am

carleekat

well she was lashing too..but nothing abnormal

8:50 am

carleekat

lashing in general... she is hurting...

8:51 am

cybernan

It must be doubly tough, carlee. I remember thinking I could solve conflicts with my daughter with a heart to heart talk!!! --- I'm sure you know how far that went when she was in one of her rebellious "you're so stupid" moods

8:52 am

carleekat

yeap...i will corner her in a restaurant somewhere...and chat...we have a great all you can eat japanese place here...

8:56 am

carleekat

anyway...nuff of that.... I am excited about my gift to me :)

8:56 am

crosshair

yes,time for happy thoughts now

8:57 am

ohhhh, i love shopping for cars! would be fun, to

9:17 am

i highly reccomend the Barret-jackson auctions

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

lots of coupons given out there

9:18 am

i have a friend who goes to those, crossy - she's a collector, though

9:18 am

Haz1558

Would you buy brand new or nearly new?

9:20 am

ivesy3

am 8 plz

9:20 am

72 Temple Owl

not sure. i have connections for two brands. but we do have a nearby car broker, who will get what you want in demo or off lease. very nice savings.

9:20 am

Sandieangel

Hi does anyone know if there is list anywhere today please?

9:21 am

ivesy3

volley has one

9:21 am

Norma

Volleymomdee has one in her profile

9:21 am

Sandieangel

Thanks for the info. I'll go an look.

9:21 am

Haz1558

It's good to have connections. There's such a huge choice it's hard to know where to begin.

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

this is tough, should be my last car but as long as i must drive it to anf from work, it will get dinged up

9:22 am

welki

then a lease back should be perfect

9:22 am

Haz1558

am8 - a plus most of a fingerless glove, then plural of watering holes in the desert, minus a vowel(at the beginning)

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

sadly, welk, i would have to pay for allof those dings. it would be very costly

9:23 am

crosshair

go for the demos,but avoid off-leases

9:23 am

Haz1558

I suppose an armoured car isn't a possibility?

9:23 am

welki

no no, not lease a car - purchase one that's been returned because the lease is over or they traded up. low miles, good condition, strong bargaining power

9:23 am

crosshair

people pound the crap our of company lease vehicels,i see it every day at my shop

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

good idea. or at least a checker;)

9:23 am

MollyL

am8 starts like the island in Jaws and ends like the plural of the red flower

9:23 am

welki

and there, i disagree with crossy :) i think demos are driven hard - leases may be more gently cared for because of the cost associated with returning a damaged/overused vehicle

9:24 am

ivesy3

ty haz and molly

9:24 am

You're welcome, ivesy.

Notice Cross said "company lease vehicles". I agree with him about those.

9:24 am

72 Temple Owl

he also buys repos. but all are under mfr warranty and his mechianic on staff inspects all.

9:25 am

crosshair

i have a fella who leases a high end jaguar,company pays the lease but not the gas or oil,so he runs 87 octane in it and says the hell with it,i nget a new one every 2 years..many execs do that so i dissagree with you welki

9:25 am

crosshair

company leases,not private leases

9:25 am

welki

yep - company lease v personal lease

9:25 am

crosshair

private leases are different as you are liable for every nick when you turn it in

9:25 am

MollyL

Does anyone privately lease anymore? There is no longer any financial advantage in that.

9:26 am

welki

then i agree with you crossy :)

2:53 pm

LeslieAnn

stiddy, glan was wondering earlier if you really meant to talk about eels on a hovercraft

2:54 pm

stidmama

I did, actually -- it's a quote from a Monty Python sketch, illustrating the perils of using phrasebooks when you have very little knowledge of the language.

2:55 pm

LeslieAnn

haha. glan said something about an odd sense of humor, haha

2:55 pm

stidmama

another famous quote from that sketch is "my nipples explode with delight" but that wasn't in the source I was using

2:55 pm

stidmama

did glantarell not know the source?

2:55 pm

LeslieAnn

not sure.

2:55 pm

stidmama

2:56 pm

LeslieAnn

2:58 pm

stidmama

ah, hungarian cavalry

2:59 pm

LeslieAnn

oh, you must be so embarrassed ;)

3:00 pm

if crooked, can have them straighten it and buddy tape.... but otherwise, just time, pain meds, ice, and try to wear stiff sole shoes and don't roll through and push off on your toes when you walk... that will hurt

of course, cross! :-) that is always an appropriate suggestion. With a side of bacon, perhaps!

uusue2

turns out that if you break your BIG toe, that is a big deal. Just saying. (I have a pin in mine).

4:25 pm

kje

budy taping is helpful if crooked so that it heals straight (essentially a splint) but agree that will not help the pain

4:25 pm

stidmama

thanks Molly -- it might help me get through the night

4:25 pm

4:27 pm

MollyL

All they will do for your four small toes is contort your foot into a painful position to x-ray it, and then tell you what you already know, it's broken.

4:27 pm

Scrabbler

Crooked injured toes and busted great toe = problems.

4:27 pm

stidmama

sounds like an easy recipe cross. I don't have gin, rum or triple sec, but we have some nice plum brandy and vodka. :-)

4:27 pm

do you hold the glass on the toe between sips, crossy? That's what I call icing an inflamation!

You gotta remember, the potato famine was only about 50 years before that, so it was a decimated country.

Sure, Stid. But the famine of 1845 pretty much obliterated the population. I did our family tree, and it was a bit eerie to see that my forefathers died of starvation. But..... Onwards and Upwards, eh?

4:53 pm

I figure my grandfather was born sometime in the early 1890s, so probably still feeling the effects of the rough times.

Likewise, a Pennsylvania cousin is holding my Dad's side of the family tree hostage.

4:58 pm

Soodle

The Irish Census records for 1901 and 1911 are available online now. If you know the surname, and/or the townland they came from, it would be reasonably easy to trace...

4:58 pm

stidmama

I figure the irish from wales in my family were there because they could get work in wales... and the ones who ended up here were not as badly off as some, they came with some resources and education at least. But it is strange to hit brick walls trying to find out what part of Ireland they were from, and whether there was anyone left behind.

4:59 pm

uusue2

oh, that's cool, soodle! My ancestors came over well before that, but still, an exciting resource!

it is hard to find ancestors in Ireland because most records were kept in churches and many of them were burned or destroyed by the Brits

5:05 pm

LOL Stid. But its pretty grim round these here parts. Our local football team has been disbanded because all the young lads are gone. My youngest daughter said to me (in all seriousness)... 'I'll never get a husband'....

5:06 pm

that's the 6, i need the 7

Dose, the famine happened in 1845, so I guess things were a bit chaotic. The first verified census was 1901. But there would still be old parochial records etc. And I would be very happy to do whatever I could.

i always found this black comedienne very funny.... she said, "I'm such a f***ing lady" after a risquÃ© joke. for some reason it tickled me

7:34 pm

Dorens

oh definitely shave the head ru, and act very very weird (which is not what ru acts like in person at all)

7:35 pm

mab

yes, hurray for ru's joints! It will be wonderful not to have pain.

7:35 pm

kje

I don'y mind be called a lady, a woman, a girl, etc... heavens knows I've been called worse.... many of my patients call me hon

7:36 pm

kje

less here than Baltimore, but still some do

7:36 pm

mab

'woman' seems like a perfectly serviceable word.

7:37 pm

mab

i sort of like being called 'hon'. maybe because I didn't have a mother

7:37 pm

Dorens

i don't mind lady, but girl does sound a bit ridiculous at this point in life.

I must confe4/7 as I babbled, I was al 5/12ed by how hard this puzzle was. I gave up at la4/4 after finding 164 words so here is a story. When I was a little girl, I went to school in Ma4/5achusetts.I was the sh6/27 student in my class. I was so extremely timid that my mother believed there was something am4/5 with my behavior.I was timid because I had is5/12s about my weight. I was tr 4/5ped in a he5/22 body. It also did not help that my parents didn't make wi4/8 decisions when it came to feeding me. My mother packed me a sa 5/14 sa6/21 sandwich for lunch almost every day. Although my lunches were ta5/14, they were not too healthy. I asked my mom to buy me healthier food for lunch when she went to the food ma4/5. There were tw5/18 in my class who called me fa5/16 all the time. They would bo 4/4 how much thinner they were than I was. My teacher, Mi 4/5 Brown, would punish them for teasing me,but that did not stop them. I believed that they wanted to ou4/5 me out of their classroom since they did not like me. They were unsuccessful in getting me to4/4ed out of their class though. As I pa 5/12d each grade the teasing became worse. Had to bring ti 6/21s with me to school every day because I would go home at dismi 6/21 with tears in my eyes. I wi4/9 ed that the police would come in their pa 6/21 cars and arrest the kids who made fun of me.That's a pa4/4 of my pa4/5 I'd like to forget all about. Ra4/4! Hubby wants the computer.As hubby si4/4 and us4/5 the laptop, I'm going to go read Mi7/32's Daughter. I can't st4/6 away from here for too long so I'll return as fa 4/7 as I can. Goodbye for now. See you later on

8:07 pm

cosdem

the mayan doomsayers can also eb called these

8:07 pm

jmcnrick

8:15 pm

wht

You might also check with Peggy S-P.

8:15 pm

jmcnrick

good idea maybe i will do that

8:17 pm

wht

For the compare and contrast the 3 books. One was too hard, one was too easy, and one was just right.

8:17 pm

mab

oh yes, Rwanda is fascinating. rather original approach to unspeakable wrongs

8:17 pm

jmcnrick

hahaha wht i think they are expecting more

8:18 pm

mab

just use very wide margins and large type

8:18 pm

mab

I'm sure no one will notice.

8:18 pm

jmcnrick

no they actually give you limits on those

8:18 pm

jmcnrick

i do get to double space

8:18 pm

wht

So you have to pad it out a little bit. Look how far Goldilocks got with that.

8:19 pm

jmcnrick

haha wht i just need to buckle down and write something

8:19 pm

jmcnrick

the worst thing they can do is flunk me

8:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey je

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

hi TO

8:22 pm

mab

i need a job too. it seems, however, that after lots of education i have no actual skills.

8:23 pm

wht

Maybe you could check in with Mr. P about a part time position putting up the list.

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

i have lots of skills but so do hundreds of others

8:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

work is overrated. i can't wait to quit

8:23 pm

wht

Or Mab and jmc could job share.

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

i don't think putting up the list is a paying proposition

8:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:25 pm

jmcnrick

jmcnrick

uh my passion is to lobby congress and play babble

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

nap a little

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

nap a little

8:27 pm

wht

Unfortunately, you seem to like to lobby Congress for people with no money.

8:28 pm

wht

Maybe if you tried teaching history to Congress, you could make the kind of money Mr. Gingrich does. :^)

8:28 pm

jmcnrick

well there is that

8:28 pm

jmcnrick

haha but i would want to tell the truth and then i wouldn't get paid!

8:29 pm

wht

True, ethics are a problem in that line of work.

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

i taught tax once to an undergrad class and was fired for talking about special tax bills

8:30 pm

wht

Why, the moment you take even a glance at the tax laws, you realize who the law benefits.

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

i spent a long time on the low income taxpayer committee of the ABA and kept arguing with the rest of the committee

8:31 pm

mab

one of my problems is that my passion seems to be doing volunteer work.

8:32 pm

volunteer work doesn't pay either--may be you could supervise

m9f9l

oh.. he's not an uncle. LOL

11:28 pm

westford

just a good buddy?

11:29 pm

m9f9l

11:30 pm

m9f9l

11:33 pm

m9f9l
