So... every time I go to Babbler's Anonymous to post the stats now, I see this ad banner across the top of the page that says "You are the 100,000 visitor!" and tells me "this is not a joke!" Uhhh... I'm visitor no. 100,000 exactly... EVERY TIME? :P

2:36 am

Don't believe it. :P lol

2:37 am

negativeneil

I really don't know rbud... but I'd hope not!

2:37 am

rbud

they'd have to be really new at this, or very young, or extremely naive...

2:38 am

negativeneil

Yep. Something like that!

2:38 am

negativeneil

It has sound in it too... it tells you:
"This is not a joke!" Yeah... oook. :P

negativeneil

Outta here and off to sleep. Good night!

2:39 am

rbud

3:19 am

Anniebrook

(((ruby))) We received the package. Bobby was thrilled with the stamps. He hung some on the wall near his desk.

3:19 am

Anniebrook

That is so nice of you.

3:20 am

rubyfoo

I was worried that it went astray! I am so glad he liked it.

3:20 am

rubyfoo

How are you?

3:20 am

Anniebrook

I cant sleep tonight. How are you doing and Burt. Hope things are a bit quieter/

3:21 am

rubyfoo

anike mentioned swimming....unimaginable! It's benn in the teens and 20's for about 10 days

3:21 am

Anniebrook

BRRRR. The wind is howling outside my window.

3:22 am

rubyfoo

Burt is in rough shape, gets out of bed only for meals and is very depressed. I am exhausted from doing all of his chores plus mine and shlepping wood, because the house is so cold

3:23 am

rbud

awww, ruby... (((hugs)))

3:23 am

Anniebrook

Can't you get someone to help with the wood. You are the caretaker but you have to take care of yourself too. Try to get some help.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

ty rbud

3:24 am

rubyfoo

I get help on weekday mornings and, hopefully, this afternoon for taking the trash up

3:26 am

Anniebrook

You need someone to do the heavy chores.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

(and replenishing the wood)

3:26 am

rubyfoo

I'm lucky to have someone during the week

3:27 am

Anniebrook

Maybe the person who comes in weekday mornings knows someone you can hire to do the heavy stuff.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

she was supposed to come yesterday, too, but called at the last minute

3:30 am

Anniebrook

(((ruby))) Try to stay warm.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

I'm just lucky that I didn't break anything when I fell last week

3:30 am

rubyfoo

things would be much worse!

3:31 am

Anniebrook

Yes, very. Thank God you didnt.

3:33 am

Anniebrook

It's 4:30 am now---woke at 2...going to go back to bed so4, need to sleep

3:34 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, I can sleep -- just takes a little Xanax to avoid those 2AM wakeups

3:34 am

rubyfoo

3:37 am

Jivingjenny0

Kaplan the Magne

The clinic I work with was started by a rock musician to help artists deal with addiction

6:48 am

EspritdJean

yes, it was pretty miserable to watch

6:48 am

MollyL

Sadly, Ivesy is right. Addiction takes it's toll on the body.

6:48 am

Soodle

Ruby, I'll trade you an 8 for a clue for the top left E....

I didn't mean I don't believe it, just that I was surprised she would do that

8:21 am

hego

criminal actually.

8:21 am

Mom

Mrp, you don't have to answer if you don't want to ... did you get any of the money?

8:21 am

Mom

(((((((((Annie))))))))))) hello!!!

8:21 am

mrpresident

and that is disgraceful!! I don't care if it is $1 or $10000... it is stealing

8:21 am

mrpresident

hi annie ((hugs))

8:21 am

mrpresident

I got $200 mom

8:22 am

hego

hi Annie

8:22 am

hego

and fraud

8:22 am

mrpresident

that was at the beginning of October... the 9th actually

8:22 am

kje

it is illegal, but likely very hard to do anything about it... really annoying

8:22 am

Mom

Mrp, that is just pitiful.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

mrp., was the $200. part of the money we chipped in?

8:23 am

mrpresident

then she got about $2000 after that and had the audacity to tell me that she couldn't fulfil her promise to pass the money on that other babblers had donated

8:23 am

carleekat

hi annie... and thanks welki...was reading...

8:23 am

Anniebrook

I find that hard to believe....can crossy get in touch with her and find out what happened?

8:23 am

kje

hard to go via criminal as police unlikely to do anything, so would have to go civil suit route and all that would do is cost even more money.

8:23 am

mrpresident

Annie, anything anyone donated after 3rd October, never left her account

8:23 am

Mom

was the Chipin money forwarded to you

8:23 am

mrpresident

no mom, it wasn't

8:24 am

hego

did anyone report this to chipin?

8:24 am

mrpresident

it was drawn out of the account, but never passed on. And the cheques that people sent her were cashed and also kept by her

8:24 am

Mom

before I go off the deep in, did the money from me reach you?

8:25 am

welki

i have the text of the convo, mrp

8:25 am

Anniebrook

I sent a personal check, sure hope that was part of the $200....it would make me feel better

8:25 am

welki

i sent $$ too - who knows whose money got there, impossible to tell

8:25 am

mrpresident

mom, I will go look at the first email I received... and you too annie and welki

8:25 am

mrpresident

I have a list of people whos money got to me... hang on

8:26 am

Mom

thanks MrP.

8:26 am

welki

but she sure looks like she's having a ton of fun on her fb (before i unfriended her - she never answered my posts anyway)

8:26 am

uusue2

definitely theft and fraud

8:26 am

Anniebrook

but the check was made out to lisa juarez...I guess I should kiss it goodbye..I thought she would cash it and put it into a fund and send the entire amount to you. Am I dumb or what?

8:26 am

uusue2

she lives in Texas - are there any other Texas babblers? Having someone in the same state would make taking action much easier

8:27 am

hego

I have seen her here on Babble once, so I thought all was resolved.

8:27 am

carleekat

mrp...pls check ur skype for a message

8:27 am

uusue2

(I have some thoughts but would rather not post them here)

8:28 am

hego

Not in the chat. just online.

8:28 am

kje

I live in TX, but it doesn't matter - the police would not spend their time on this... heck, my brother was broken into and they won't even do that because amount was enough to make it worth their time. Not sure what police do anymore

8:29 am

uusue2

I was thinking more of small claims court

8:29 am

carleekat

she and I were never friends on fb or if we were...not anymore...

8:29 am

Mom

8:29 am

kje

this would have to go to small claims court, a civil lawsuit

8:30 am

Mom

<---- will not deal with Chipin ever again

8:30 am

carleekat

sue..i think it would have to be action by those who donated the $ and wild... nothing mrp can do...and likely only those form USA who can do anything...you would have to organize yourselves to go through small claims

8:30 am

hego

it should still be reported to them I think

8:30 am

kje

maybe could do it without getting a lawyer, not sure

8:30 am

uusue2

and perhaps some negative publicity in an informal way (although that would have to be handled delicately)

8:31 am

welki

mrp, i just sent you the text of the convo

8:31 am

Mom

no Annie, you are not dumb. We all have given to others without incident. Who would have thought this was any different

8:31 am

hego

chipin, that is

8:31 am

uusue2

no lawyers in small claims court, which is nice

8:31 am

carleekat

yes..we have...

8:32 am

kje

chipin is not at fault, she is.... they provide a service to funnel money through, that is all, they could not possibly ensure that all money goes to where it is suppose to

8:32 am

Mom

<---- sees all of us on Judge Judy :-) she would make mincemeat of Wildcat

8:32 am

uusue2

and we might be able to get someone to stand in for all of us in court

8:32 am

hego

I realize that kje, but I still think they should be made aware.

8:32 am

welki

i tried to give her the benefit of the doubt for the longest time - i've known wild for years - but now i'm sorry to say she has no credibility, in my opinion anyway

8:33 am

kje

not dumb, mom... we have given via Featherbee numerous times for condolence gifts etc... this was just not the right choice this tiem

8:33 am

hego

But it would not help a thing, anyway.

8:33 am

welki

i think that, at this point, it's live and learn - and try not to be shmoozled again

8:33 am

hego

Mee too Welki

8:33 am

carleekat

it could help hego..if proven she defrauded at least a lein could be placed on her possessions...which will affect credit rating

8:33 am

uusue2

(I'd almost volunteer to go down there and do it myself - small claims court that is - after I retire) - they could order her to send the money to mrp and then she'd be in contempt of court if she didn't

8:33 am

uusue2

nice fantasy anyway.

8:34 am

Mom

We are all a carrying lot, but I wonder how this will affect people giving in the future

8:34 am

welki

well i know i'll be a whole lot more cautious

8:34 am

carleekat

i think go through routes you already trust... featherbee etc...

8:34 am

mrpresident

ok, I got donations from
Mom = Karen L D
Judi Brockett = this is the only one I'm not sure about.
dorens - Doren G
bethn = Beth N
Nef = Jennifer P
uusue = Suzanne W
Hego = Helen G
evanadine - Samantha G Jillibus - Gillian E
Jellen - Jane N
jilly (I think) = Jill D Featherbee = Heather M

8:34 am

uusue2

that's what worries me, mom - I've heard people say that they would never contribute again, and that is so sad.

8:35 am

hego

right Carlee

8:35 am

welki

poop - i didn't make the list (sounds funny)

8:35 am

carleekat

dr. god... i mean people pay for memberships so obviously he is trustworthy

8:35 am

Mom

*sigh

8:35 am

carleekat

( mrp... pls see the skype message i left you)

8:36 am

hego

yes I was very early on, so I thought you got mine.

8:36 am

Anniebrook

damn, I'm not on the list..I wish I has lisa juarez here in front of me

8:36 am

mrpresident

sorry to those that didn't get on the list.
I was so so upset for babblers that did donate... and am very sad that they did

8:36 am

welki

AND - she told me that MY money made it to you - said she was having problems with canadian funds - asked her and this is what she said:
Hey, welki here. I read in babble-chat that there's been some sort of problem with a Canadian transfer, affecting MrP's donation. Sure hope it wasn't mine ... but please let me know if it is and what I can do to fix it.

Lisa Juarez

Not yours. Still working it out. I hate banks!!!

8:36 am

hego

Strange she sent some but not all.

8:36 am

mrpresident

she told me the same think Welki!!

8:37 am

kje

uusue - but what chance do you think this has in small claims court, do you think you could prove that checks written to her were not for her, or do you think the judge would say, you got taken, learn your lesson, move on? my only experience is people's court, and it seems they rarely win these type of things with no signed contracts, etc

8:37 am

uusue2

crossy referred to it as a "teaser" - send a little so you look trustworthy, then pocket the rest

8:37 am

welki

no chance - we took a risk, we got snookered

8:37 am

mrpresident

it was all crap.
she told me that she couldn't commit to the transaction

8:37 am

welki

and let us all hope that this karma thing really turns out well

8:38 am

hego

Oh, brother!

8:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

Can I go out on a limb here as a relatively new member of Babble-

8:38 am

mrpresident

i have emails from people who sent her the cheques, saying they were for me and my kids, before she cashed them

8:38 am

carleekat

well...b/c babble cht is all logged....she offered... and conversations took place..its al in the chat log

8:38 am

uusue2

we have the text of the chat log - it is all preserved - small claims court is much more informal than regular court. Might be worth a try.

8:38 am

uusue2

snap, carlee!

8:38 am

carleekat

time stamped...etc

8:38 am

welki

see, even with the messages, who can "prove" that she actually wrote them, received the money, committed to send it - blah blah blah

8:39 am

kje

ah, the chat log.... hadn't thought of that

8:39 am

carleekat

b/c of isp etc...which dr god would have info for

8:39 am

mrpresident

i have had people offer to look into it, but to no avail. I am coming over there... she lives in Texas. I am going to do something about it

8:39 am

welki

all you'd be able to prove is the ip address, not identify the person writing the text

8:39 am

Mom

sure Kap .... go right ahead

8:39 am

mrpresident

ruru knows her address... he personally sent her a check

8:39 am

carleekat

he has the name... account...[personal info... b/c he cashed her checque for membership

8:40 am

kje

mrp, really coming for a visit? come through here when you come

8:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

but mixing up personal issues and money and an internet game is kind of a setup for something like this to happen eventually?

8:40 am

welki

bingo, kap

8:40 am

mrpresident

crossy also has tried to get people to help...., but i have had not reply from those who said they might help

8:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

there I said it...

8:40 am

hego

we thought we knew her Kap

8:40 am

mrpresident

yes kaplan... it sure is

8:40 am

welki

but - people like to help and there is a sense of community here - ripe for a scam

8:40 am

Mom

yes Kap

8:40 am

mrpresident

people get taken all the time... but it is sickening that it happened here

8:40 am

carleekat

we have done it before kaplan... with no issue.. ( thinking of jane )

8:41 am

Shirlockc

i would agree except if it was started and documented on this chat

8:41 am

welki

she must have cultivated this for years

8:41 am

Anniebrook

I have her address also...sent her a personal check made out to her.

8:41 am

mrpresident

wildcat 'pretended' to care

8:41 am

uusue2

same thing can happen face to face, of course

8:41 am

carleekat

mrp..pls see skype

8:41 am

mrpresident

yes, it has been done before with a babbler passing on all the funds. but wildcat did not make good

8:41 am

Shirlockc

i would like to think that dr god would ask permission for the specific chats to be use for X Y Z

8:41 am

Anniebrook

the money should have been sent to you directly, mrp

8:42 am

welki

if you didn't see, mrp, i sent the chat from the last convo i had with her (at another site)

8:42 am

carleekat

i am not sure shirlockc...they are public records... not like a contract with a phone company for txt messages and call history

8:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's a leap of trust with a lot of risk. But you can send me money any time you want.

8:42 am

Mom

Annie, do you remember what city she lives in?

8:43 am

mrpresident

i have her address

8:43 am

kje

she lives in austin

8:43 am

kje

or at least somewhere near it

8:43 am

Mom

thanks kje

8:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

Some of you really do know each other, it seems, but I will tell you right now- don't trust me.

8:43 am

kje

a couple years ago when dorens came down she had talked about a meetup in austin

8:43 am

mrpresident

welki, i didn't see... please send it to me again :)

8:43 am

Anniebrook

will look, Mom

8:43 am

welki

i sent it to your yahoo address, mr p

8:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

Or the Nigerian who wants to send you $75 million to deposit.

8:44 am

Mom

that's okay Annie, kje told me

8:44 am

phaeton

You all need LEGAL advice.

8:44 am

Mom

thanks though

8:44 am

carleekat

yahoo sometimes slow for email

8:44 am

uusue2

her facebook says she lives in Austin

8:44 am

Mom

he Phaeton

8:44 am

Mom

hi*

8:44 am

phaeton

hello

8:44 am

hego

hi Phae

8:44 am

carleekat

hi phae

8:44 am

mrpresident

annie, I do have a paypal account... I even was told that I should have the money transferred there... but wildcat was 'in charge' of it

8:44 am

uusue2

hi, phae!

8:44 am

mrpresident

so everyone sent it to her!

8:45 am

uusue2

she wanted it to be a surprise, according to her posts here, mrp. Some surprise.

8:45 am

hego

I think I used paypal, actually

8:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

I acknowledge that I don't get deeply involved in the personal discussions and am mostly a joker, but I learned through a secure message board that I participated in for 6 years that I will never regret protecting my boundaries.

8:45 am

mrpresident

people emailed me saying they wanted to send me money to my account... and I stupidly said 'no, send it to wildcat... that way it is all above board'

8:45 am

carleekat

everyone got snookered...unfortunately... i just hope ( naive I know) but if she has it...hopefully she put it to a needed use

8:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

It wasn't that secure but it took 6 years to learn that.

8:45 am

hego

Well, we WERE surprised.

8:46 am

welki

i'm still surprised

8:46 am

mrpresident

yeah, it was a surprise alright... I feel sorry for ruru... I feel so so sorry for those of you who did donate and NADA

8:46 am

Shirlockc

is there a web policy for these chats that dr. god has posted?

8:46 am

Mom

dumbfounded

8:47 am

welki

i think, shirlock, that web policy is the same as life policy - fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me.

8:47 am

mrpresident

ruru is the most incredible person I know... he gave 4 figures! and she took it no problem

8:47 am

uusue2

nothing online is all that secure, kap - a lot of people don't realize that

8:47 am

mrpresident

and to then find out that other babblers had given money.... $10, $20, $50 PLUS... sickened me even more!

8:47 am

hego

Oh, poor Ruru!!!

8:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

I did not get harmed or ripped off in any way- just massively annoyed.

8:48 am

Shirlockc

i meant that there's nothing preventing her from registering under a different user name and posting here again

8:48 am

mrpresident

she banked his cheque! she friggin kept his money! that is a lot of money from one person

8:49 am

uusue2

dr god would have to change her username unless she registered again using a different email account

8:49 am

welki

yep, which is why folks, including me, should be a whole lot more cautious in the future, even of folks you've 'known' for years

8:49 am

Mom

hi Shirlockc

8:49 am

hego

really terrible.

8:49 am

mrpresident

she is still on facebook... still my 'friend'... but she doesn't reply, respond, or care

8:49 am

mrpresident

i am sorry about this

8:49 am

mrpresident

I really am. I didn't know

8:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

We pay a high price sometimes for "community."

8:49 am

mrpresident

I had no idea she was doing this, and then she went too far

8:50 am

Mom

((mrp)) it is not your fault

8:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

Not to downgrade the warmth here-- but

8:50 am

phaeton

start posting on FB what she did...let people know what kind of person she is

8:50 am

uusue2

ha, well, I thought I knew my ex-husband too, and he's ripped me off much worse than this

8:50 am

hego

then we can still post on her page can't we? (getting evil thoughts)

8:50 am

mrpresident

All I want... truly...
I want the money to be given back to each and every person who donated.
I am looking to get that happen

8:50 am

uusue2

I did that, phae, but was quite circumspect about it

8:51 am

Shirlockc

why be circumspect uusue?

8:51 am

mrpresident

phae. I will... again

8:51 am

JaxH

There are more good people than bad. Most people would never rip others off like this and the fact that so many people donated shout volumes about the goog

8:51 am

Mom

postiong on her wall .... all of her friends and family will see it

8:51 am

uusue2

it was early on, shirlock, and still wasn't clear that she really wasn't going to pass the money on

8:51 am

mrpresident

I was also circumspect... saying it could have been a misunderstanding

8:52 am

welki

tried that, mom - she deleted the posts

8:52 am

kje

no kap, I refuse to believe that... why let one person ruin the babble community. We can be more cautious, and learn from it, but why let one person change who you are, that gives her control over your future

8:52 am

hego

I tried that too.

8:52 am

welki

(and i was not insulting about it - just asked if she would tell me what happened)

8:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

Do not start a FB war- just be more cautious and let's take responsibility for the risks...

8:52 am

mrpresident

but it is now 5 months later. there is no way she will pass the money on... no way she will reply to our questions

8:52 am

hego

Jax is right.

8:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

I just am registering surprise at the amount of money sent- even with good hearts and intentions.

8:53 am

welki

i'm a 'what goes around, comes around' sort of gal - this dirty money will catch up with her

8:53 am

Anniebrook

Here is wildcat's address: Lisa Juarez

8:53 am

phaeton

Not a war...just so others don't end up doing the same thing that happened to Babblers

8:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

You are all lovely people. Please don't be furious at me for my opinion.

8:53 am

mrpresident

I NEVER asked for anything... it was disgusting that someone took advantage of my terrible situation

8:53 am

uusue2

maybe so, welki, but I wouldn't mind helping it out a little

8:54 am

kje

me too, welk... it wi come back on her, you reap what you sow

8:54 am

Anniebrook

darn, here goes.....1111 Southcreek Drive, # 1115, Round Rock, Texas 78664

8:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't say you asked.

8:54 am

uusue2

we know you didn't, mrp - please don't feel that any of this is in any way your fault!!!!

8:54 am

mrpresident

kaplan, no one is angry at you! Lisa Juarez - wildcat, screwed us

8:54 am

carleekat

i think everyone just needs to take a deep breath... it was awful..learn from it... and just..breath...

8:54 am

welki

you're not expressing anything that anyone else hasn't already said or thought, kap - i doubt anyone is furious at you for this - maybe for old chestnuts of jokes (LOL), but not for this

8:54 am

kje

round rock, a ways outside of austin, a very small town i believe

8:55 am

mrpresident

and I am sad that it was becausr of ME! I have been here so many years and people have been wonderful to me, and SHE took advantage of that

8:55 am

carleekat

karma will kick her later on...

8:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

and don't take any wooden nickels. You have no way of knowing that I'm not a serial killer.

8:55 am

carleekat

mrp... dont be sad.... you know gifts were made from the heart....

8:55 am

mrpresident

thank you annie!

8:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

Though I do like cereal.

8:55 am

uusue2

if it hadn't been you, she would have done the same thing using someone else as an excuse, mrp. what she did is all about her, and not at all about you!

8:56 am

welki

a serial killer with a remarkable ability to make me laugh as i remember folks like sophie tucker :)

8:56 am

carleekat

take joy from the support that was intended.... wild owns the hteft..wild owns the anger directed at her... and dont let that anger spill here and cause upset here

8:56 am

mrpresident

I am here, in Australia... I have her address, I have details about her... but I don't know the laws. I have asked for help, but no one can help me

8:57 am

welki

but mrp, in all truthfulness, i had put this away and hoped i was done with it - as you said, it's been five months and the drama was draining me. let's agree with carlee and let the universe sort this out, because for sure, we've not been able to

8:57 am

mrpresident

and I get it

8:57 am

mrpresident

I really do

8:57 am

mrpresident

She has used people, got away with it, and there is nothing to do... can't get blood out of a stone. She is cold

8:58 am

mrpresident

we should just let it be

8:58 am

welki

(and now, to echo kap, i hope no one's furious with me)

8:58 am

mrpresident

welki, I agree

8:58 am

carleekat

and so let it go... being angry at this point only steals energy from u...or any of us... its done... and learn..

8:58 am

mrpresident

she did it, she got away with it... and nothing can really be done.

8:58 am

hego

I will put it away as soon as I post on her page and send a letter telling her what I think of her.

8:59 am

hego

Then, I'll forget about it.

8:59 am

Anniebrook

Is crossy in touch with her...does anyone know?

8:59 am

Mom

we all need a group hug ((((hug))))

8:59 am

hego

He was.

8:59 am

hego

((((hug))))

8:59 am

carleekat

{{hug}} ( boy i choose one heck of a day to pop on to chat )

9:00 am

mrpresident

let us all assume she is what she has portrayed herself to be, and take away from it...

9:00 am

Shirlockc

was thinking that myself carlee

9:00 am

mrpresident

yes annie, he tried, but she refuses to reply

9:00 am

hego

lol Carlee, there've been worse.

9:01 am

mrpresident

i didn't want this for you all, I just need you to know this was a f**k of a thing that has affected us all

9:01 am

carleekat

oh i know hego...but...sheesh <facepalm>

9:01 am

hego

Must go for a while. bbl Hang in there kids!

9:02 am

uusue2

hmmmm - her employer has an anonymous reporting line for fraud - hmmmmm - I won't say more but if I can find it you can too.

9:02 am

mrpresident

and if I need help in the future, will not leave it to some random person to 'organise' it for me. I have learnt from this, but feel terrible for those that got hurt too

9:03 am

kje

who is the employer?

9:03 am

mrpresident

oh usue! she is a con

9:03 am

Kaplan the Magne

How about some words, folks?

9:03 am

Mom

bye bye Hego

9:03 am

mrpresident

again, I can only say I am so so sorry for the bullsh*t she has put you all through, you all had your heart in the right place. I am so so sorry

9:03 am

Kaplan the Magne

stats on the 9 PLEASE?

Mom

I wonder if you can do that, Welki

9:13 am

Mom

hmmm, didn't know you could do that

9:13 am

Anniebrook

Sorry to bring the conversation back up, but I have been reading over what was posted and I have a question. How can someone be brought up on charges for cashing and keeping a check that was made out to them? I never understood why people were sending money directly to that person.

9:23 am

9:26 am

I also popped back in and saw the conversation. Yuck. Can't even babble in peace. I would like to pose a diff. perspective. We never know what is going on in another person's life or heart. She may have started out w/great intentions and then something happened to her. ( ripped off by a kid on drugs or?) But at any rate, the $ was given out of concern for a friend in our community. That is wonderful. Don't give up in faith and trust because of one unfortunate event. We really don't know what happened.

I'm sad to read about Whitney Houston's behavior in the final hours of her life. Obviously, she was still deeply in the grip of addiction. It's sad that no amount of intervention (and I know her family tried) was of any help.

10:06 am

it is such a waste. I feel for her kids and her family.

I agree the b's are b's!!

10:54 am

I leave chat turned off at first too Josh. Too many people just randomly calling out stats and clues without being asked. I like to find words on my own.

I guess it all depends upon a person's strategy of play. I consider help in the chat the same as consulting the list. Everyone plays differently.

10:59 am

there are 3 rh's, ruru

It's funny--no matter how large or small the grid, I almost always get to 20% from done and hit the wall where I can't get much farther.

12:03 pm

hego

it's the odds

12:03 pm

bichon

I usually try to get to 60-70%, but today, I listed at 50%

12:10 pm

bichon

12:13 pm

bichon

I have that, need the first se 6/21

12:13 pm

sadly i must leave you all to brave the barren howling snow filled wastelands to serve those stranded travelers in need,but before i go ,it is time once again for the staggering popular crossy,s quote of the day!!!

1:01 pm

crosshair

Far back in the mists of ancient time, in the great and glorious days of the former Galactic Empire, life was wild, rich and largely tax free. Mighty starships plied their way between exotic suns, seeking adventure and reward among the furthest reaches of Galactic space. In those days, spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds, to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before -- and thus was the Empire forged. -- Douglas Adams, _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_

4:09 pm

MollyL

*Fixes Soodle a stiff drink*

4:10 pm

Soodle

Aw, Thanks Molls.

4:10 pm

lilliann

passing you a glass of wine soodles :)

4:10 pm

Soodle

And Lilliann

4:10 pm

MollyL

Take heart Soodle. My older two are closer than your son is, and I think you see him more than I see them.

4:10 pm

lilliann

oh, forget that, molly's there already!! ;)

4:10 pm

lilliann

does he get home much soodles?

4:10 pm

Soodle

All alcohol gratefully accepted.

4:11 pm

lilliann

4:11 pm

Soodle

Nah. I'm grand, Molly.

4:12 pm

lilliann

i can move in with you, if you like :)

4:12 pm

lilliann

that was meant for molly!! lol

4:13 pm

Soodle

Lillian, thanks to Michael O Leary and Ryanair, he is home every three weeks or so. And when he is home he fights with me, he fights with his sisters and he causes mayhem. And then, I look forward to him coming home again, for more of the same..... ????

4:15 pm

lilliann

lol soodle.i'm like that with my 12 year old and she hasn't left yet..but it isn't every 3 weeks...ir's every day!!! lol but you still miss him and love seeing him if only for a while and pushing him out the door til next time... :)

4:19 pm

MollyL

One of my older sons is a restaurant manager and my daughter-in-law is a pediatric ER nurse. Those schedules make family get togethers tricky to arrange.

4:28 pm

lilliann

when i worked, i worked in care so i know how hard it is to get together on family occasions and when people work in the food industry it is just as hard so it must be hard for you as a mother, as you want to see them as much as you can but you also have to plan it around your life!

4:31 pm

lilliann

christmas was always the holiday that my mam wanted my brother and me to be home for, but as we both had jobs that had shifts and work all year round, we couldn't both be there at the same time. i've missed christmas dinners but been there for tea and vica versa for my brother...saying that he was more at home than i was!

4:32 pm

Soodle

<---- probably a totally unnatural mother, but quite looking forard to the empty nest.

4:33 pm

MollyL

Not unnatural at all Soodle. Then they come visit you when you WANT to see them.

4:33 pm

Soodle

t

4:34 pm

Soodle

Thanks Molls.

4:35 pm

lilliann

well after having a very tempermental(and that is being polite)!!! 12 year old, i'm looking forward to having an empty nest in 6-8 years!! now i look like a right nasty mam!! :(

4:35 pm

dan2bit

afternoon all!

4:36 pm

lilliann

hi dan

4:36 pm

MollyL

Empty nest time is when you get back in touch with the woman you were before you had kids. That gets lost right quick once you become a Mother.

4:37 pm

MollyL

Howdy 2Bit. How is little miss feeling today?

4:37 pm

dan2bit

she was just fine today, took a long nap and woke up a little grumpy

4:38 pm

dan2bit

still taking it easy on foods, and we were already kinda housebound by the cold

4:40 pm

dofith

Hi, all. Got bad news for you, lillian. Didn't get our empty nest until last of 4 sons was in late 20's!

4:41 pm

MollyL

We haven't been out much due to the cold as well. Ventured forth today so boy-o could get a swim at the indoor pool.

4:42 pm

lilliann

ty molly and dofith...don't you just charm people!!! NOT!!! lol :)

4:42 pm

wvteach

We enjoyed a cold day of sled riding with grandkids on nearby hill

4:42 pm

Soodle

Hrmphh. Alll Soodles anti-kid remarks are rendered obsolete in the the face of Biscuit et al.

4:43 pm

MollyL

Biscuit??

4:43 pm

bichon

Biscuit was one of my original Bichons

4:43 pm

Soodle

Dan's little lady....

4:44 pm

MollyL

Button, Soodle, Button.

4:45 pm

lilliann

hi teach and bichon

4:46 pm

bichon

hi everyone

4:46 pm

dofith

Don't encourage your kids to want a uni education - takes years to get qualified for a job and earn enough to leave home. Send 'em ot to work at 15

4:46 pm

lilliann

dan...baby2bit is soooo cute!! :)

4:47 pm

dan2bit

thanks lilliann! I need to put an updated pic in my profile

4:47 pm

MollyL

I never encouraged my kids to get a college education. College degrees are worth nothing these days.

4:47 pm

Soodle

wah.... I have lost the plot..........

4:47 pm

MollyL

*Freshens Soodle's drink and pats her on the head*

4:48 pm

MollyL

Recap: Biscuit = Bichon's dog...Button = Little Miss 2Bit.

4:49 pm

lilliann

when i was 16 i did a yts scheme which is no more in this country. i earned Â£27 a week and i was at college 2 days a week and then working in a job i wanted..now that has finished which is a shame, as i got every job i ever went for & i think it was because of the experience i had!

4:50 pm

Soodle

Chants Biscuit = Bichons dog. Button = Ms 2Bit. (Repeat as necessary, Soodle)....

4:51 pm

lilliann

say those two over again quickly soodle!! lol

4:53 pm

Soodle

My young lad was diagnosed as dyslexic at age 8. I feared for his prospects. He is now 21 and earning approx 4 times my weekly wage. go figure.

4:54 pm

Picklesny

I miss the conversation but I spent a good deal of the past week consoling my son as his finanancial aid did not come thru and he is one semester short of his college dgree.

4:54 pm

lilliann

good for him soodle!!

4:55 pm

jaxx7

Lillian, they may go but like boomerangs they bounce back!

4:55 pm

MollyL

Soodle, it just goes to show that you are only limited by a disability as much as you allow yourself to be. (Which I swore I was never going to say here again as it pissed someone off one day)

4:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Watching Whitney Houston and Cissy Houston videos all afternoon.

4:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That was me that it pissed off.

4:56 pm

Soodle

You are so right Molly.

4:57 pm

MollyL

No, actually it was Stid. Pickles, sorry to hear your son missed out on his aid.

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

:)

4:57 pm

lilliann

i'll be happy for her to come back jaxx when she is more grown up and when she has a family of her own...hopefully when she is in her mid to late 20's , her and her family will be welcome!

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I was sure it was me. I. Am I not "someone?"

4:57 pm

MollyL

Kap, I pissed you off about something else. : )

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, that was it I think.

4:58 pm

lilliann

sorry to hear that pickles

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I probably pissed you off along the way too.

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But it was Yetta.

4:58 pm

MollyL

I don't think I have ever talked learning disabilities with you Kap. Emotional baggage was our subject, as I recall.

4:58 pm

Picklesny

ty and lillianmolly and i heartily agree about disabilities and i see it every day in my work

4:58 pm

lilliann

not like you to piss anyone off molly!! :)

4:59 pm

Soodle

Group Hug.......

4:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ah, yes. I have it here in my records.

4:59 pm

Soodle

(((((((((((((((((..................

4:59 pm

lilliann

hi kap

4:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You only piss off the ones you love.

4:59 pm

MollyL

"Piss off" is a strong phrase. Let's go with "rubbed the wrong way". No hard feelings on my part. We are bound to disagree about things.

5:00 pm

mcurlschool

pickles, I agree with you to a point. There are some diabilities that just cannot be controlled

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Both emotional and physical. However, I can control my Babble habit. But I chooose not to.

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hi.

5:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What an amazing talent.

5:01 pm

mcurlschool

right there with you Kap!

5:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We disagreed about Lady Gaga- but she will be a survivor.

5:02 pm

lilliann

molly, you'd never pee me off or rub me off the wrong way! we are who we are! we can't please everyone! that's life!!

5:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Streisand- survivor.

5:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Garland- not survivor.

5:02 pm

Picklesny

maybe the word "only" is misplaced but I've seen many people exceed what experts expected of them!

5:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You certainly can't please me.

5:03 pm

MollyL

Kap and I were casting unpopular opinions into a conversation earlier today. It just happens sometimes.

5:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And welki too.

5:03 pm

mcurlschool

ashave I and many times those who are high functioning disabled are limited by enabling

5:03 pm

MollyL

Pickles, you are correct about that.

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Like all generalizations everything is true some of the time but nothing is true all of the time.

5:04 pm

Picklesny

phantom: before

5:04 pm

Soodle

Good grief. Isn't real life difficult enough without bringing unpleasantness into Babble?

5:05 pm

Picklesny

What Kap said is always true lol

5:05 pm

MollyL

I consider enabling a disability. : )

5:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"Everything I say is a lie."

5:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That's a paradox. Do you believe me?

5:05 pm

Soodle

I'm off to bed. Good night all.

5:06 pm

Picklesny

Again, Kap is completely right lol

5:06 pm

Picklesny

bore

5:06 pm

Picklesny

off to pb

5:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never realized that Rosten rewrote the Kaplan stories in the 70's, so I ordered an out of print copy.

5:07 pm

MollyL

*Sends sparkly faerie like sweet dreams to Soodle*

5:07 pm

lilliann

5:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have reread the basic ones too many times.

5:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

5:09 pm

mcurlschool

Kaplan the Magne

7-11.

5:32 pm

Winehouse, James and Houston. Does anyone think crack is a good thing?

5:35 pm

Picklesny

5:35 pm

rururocks

5:35 pm

MollyL

Whoa, back up. Etta James did not die from drug abuse.

5:35 pm

welki

is it? vegreville, alberta has the worlds largest pysanka (ukranian painted egg)

5:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It makes me so sad to see all that talent destroyed. Garland only lived to 47 too.

5:35 pm

Picklesny

crack is wack

5:35 pm

rururocks

they should change the name from 7/11 to 24/7

5:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, but her health was not great after years of same.

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes and it is a shame but she is not a legend. there is so much to do about this. it is crazy.

5:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have been watching her on you-tube all day. Live performances- damn, she was good.

5:37 pm

welki

feh - can't change the human condition. life in the fast lane (or even sometimes in the slow lane) makes for crappy decisions sometimes

5:37 pm

Picklesny

brat

5:37 pm

Picklesny

ooops again

5:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yest, Pickles.

5:37 pm

lilliann

who are you calling a brat pickles??11 lol

5:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Watch her singing gospel duets with her mom Cissy Houston. Shivers.

5:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh cissy can do that, ka[

5:38 pm

rururocks

she had a lovely voice.. but chose her husbands poorly

5:38 pm

lilliann

i'll go to pb too !! actually pickles, ty, i need a fish, missed that one!! :)

5:38 pm

welki

much prefer cissy houston over her other famous relative, dionne warwich

5:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i thought that it was bobby brown who introduced her to drugs

5:39 pm

welki

and warwick, too

5:39 pm

rururocks

dionne warwick is whacked

5:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Dionne never had much soul, at least not in the Bacharach songs I know her for.

5:39 pm

MollyL

Oh I agree Ru. Although I think Bobbi was her only husband. Ray J was just a boyfriend.

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

but she put bacharach on the map, the pop music map that is

5:40 pm

welki

and she was a priss on celebrity apprentice

5:40 pm

rururocks

anyone who spells their last name with a single letter is likely using drugs

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

oooh yes she seemed very mean and bossy

5:40 pm

lilliann

dionne warwick was on johnathon ross here last nite and she looked really young!!

5:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This was past her prime.

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

i wi def be watching the new celeb apprentice

5:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Listen again to her Star Spangled Banner from 1991. Best I've heard.

5:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am seeing Aretha next Saturday night!

5:41 pm

MollyL

I can't listen to her just yet and I doubt I'll watch the Grammy awards tonight. It's just too fresh and sad.

5:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Live at Radio City Music Hall. Or did I already tell you that?

5:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I wonder if she'll cancel.

5:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

She was Whitney's godmother.

5:43 pm

MollyL

Everyone seems to be taking the "the show must go on" approach. Even Bobby Brown performed last night.

5:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But I'm sure they have to rewrite all the material.

5:43 pm

welki

wow, how'd you get tickets? must have cost a small fortune!

5:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It wasn't that bad.

5:44 pm

welki

*listening to the national anthem now* wowsa

5:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am sure we danced to several of her tunes last night, her music was certainly an 80's soundtrack

5:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I realized I had to see Aretha live.

5:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, isn't it great?

5:44 pm

welki

very powerful

5:44 pm

MollyL

Are you going to spend the night in New York Kap, or drive to and from? Isn't that a long drive for you?

5:45 pm

lilliann

i loved whitney and got my mam into her music, but i saw her 2 years on a well known music show everyone knows(but i can't think of it) and she looked terrible and sounded awful..there wetre alot of complaints!!

5:45 pm

welki

and seeminly effortless - what a colossal waste

5:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have always wished I was alive when Judy Garland played the Palace- and here is a legend in our lifetimes.

5:45 pm

welki

my kids loved her

5:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We're going to be there all week. My husband arranged to rent a relative's unused apartment

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

you should hear this- you get what you pay for- 5th floor walkup in the Village, bathtub in the kitchen, no amenities...$50. a night

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

New York in the 70s- how well I remember that Summer of Sam. Ah, sweet youth.

5:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That would be too freaking funny if he lived next door to you.

5:57 pm

welki

yeah - everyone driving around with the passenger seat flat down, i'd be looking at the ceiling

5:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never knew people had addresses with names of streets rather than numbers.

5:58 pm

welki

but that was later - like 1975 or 1976 i think. i was living in briarwood then

5:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The summer of the blackout. Ever see Spike Lee's movie?

I put my hair in a ponytail. EVERY girl in the city had long brown hair- except the blonds.

6:01 pm

welki

6:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

A roar went up from the streets.

6:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It caught the tension really well.

6:02 pm

welki

that would have been me, screaming, 'owwwwwwww i broke my friggin' ankle!!"

6:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Next day- streets with broken glass and shoes all over the streets.

6:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And it was HOT HOT HOT

gapeach

Sorry to interupt.....my computer was hacked and had to buy a new one.....problem is: I can get Lickety's cues but not on the left side of screen. Don't know how to cut or paste....can someone guide me?? Thanks so much.

6:19 pm

gapeach

clues - even

6:20 pm

LuvWordGames

hi gapeach, do you mean the Babble Expert window? If so, click on the yellow line on the left edge of the screen and then you can adjust the size of the screen with the clues

6:20 pm

lilliann

i don't know how to cut and paste peach..sorry

6:23 pm

gapeach

Thanks Luv, don't have a yellow line on this one. I can't make the list come up at the same time

6:24 pm

LuvWordGames

sorry peach, I don't know what you're trying to do then

6:24 pm

gapeach

When I type in the list this page goes away and the list appears in the midde of the screen

6:25 pm

MollyL

To cut/copy and paste, hold your left click button down and drag it across text. That will highlight it. Then use your right click button and you will get a drop down menu. That menu contains "Copy" "Cut" and "Paste". Copy your text, to to where you want to put it, right click again and hit "Paste".

6:25 pm

lilliann

can you not just type in the grid?

6:25 pm

LuvWordGames

can you click and drag the lickety list over to the left side of your screen and then click and drag the babble screen over to right?

MollyL

It's actually a lot easier to show someone that than to type it to them. But we are limited here.

6:35 pm

lilliann

very true..i'm always better taught if someone can show me how to do it...the problem is i need to be shown a few times because of my memory.i have written down what you said and that will be alot better for mw than hubby and bairn telly me, because i can re-reead ir over again!

6:39 pm

MollyL

I have a ski helmet, tried it on last week and thought I didn't really need it, that I would most likely land on hand and break wrist.

8:11 pm

kje

ru, be funny!

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

I really am neurologically fine. I share a room with a bunny so I will tell Tucker to dial 911 if I don't wake up when he jumps on me during the night.

8:12 pm

mab

I think though that there has been some progress regarding hep c...

8:12 pm

Picklesny

a rabbit can dial 911?

8:12 pm

lilliann

anyway, my great niece has it apparently, amthough she doesn't have red eyes and is going to go blind...she is one in 50,000 that get it?

8:12 pm

pugmama763

wow that's a well trained bunny !

8:12 pm

Scrabbler

Good night to all!

8:12 pm

kje

I am just not a worrier, scrab... so I would just go to bed

8:12 pm

mab

what if you die and the bunnys get hungry and eat you

8:13 pm

rururocks

that sounds kinda hare-brained scrabs

8:13 pm

pugmama763

night scrabs & Hugs

8:13 pm

kje

hep C can be treated now

8:13 pm

Scrabbler

Nope, Tucker cannot really do that. I was joking.

8:13 pm

kje

and..... ru comes through.... with a bad pun

8:13 pm

pugmama763

I've been reading up but it was still bad news

8:13 pm

Dorens

could not easily find the lindor truffles, but ghirardelli intense dark sea salt soiree (with roasted almonds) kind of hijacked the mission. finally tasted one (have had them for at least a month). gooooood

8:13 pm

lilliann

oh pug...so sorry to hear your news.hugs to you and all family members

8:13 pm

Scrabbler

kje, I know enough to avoid ERs except when absolutely necessary. And today was not necessary.

8:14 pm

Scrabbler

Bye all!

8:14 pm

kje

it is, pug.... wouldn't want her to have it, but now you know, so next step is to get info and treatment. We will hope with you for the best

8:14 pm

kje

8:14 pm

Dorens

8:14 pm

Picklesny

8:14 pm

pugmama763

the crazy thing about my friend & his army buddy getting killed , they both made it back from 2 tours in Afghanistan only to get gunned down in a hick town in PA

8:15 pm

pugmama763

some days the world just makes no sense

8:15 pm

kje

? just randomly, pug?

8:15 pm

Dorens

i know. it's kind of weird isn't it? i do like a square a night, but can control myself with sweets

8:15 pm

kje

was it a robbery or something?

8:15 pm

pugmama763

they aren't releasing much yet for details

8:15 pm

pugmama763

still investigating

8:15 pm

Dorens

oh pug that is dreadful

8:15 pm

lilliann

8:16 pm

kje

8:20 pm

lilliann

all our hearts go out to you and their families pug! it must be really tough on them as they have come through the toughest times in their lives in afghanistan!

8:20 pm

pugmama763

from what little the reports are saying it almost sounds like they went to they guys door for help (car problem perhaps? ) Of course the guy is claiming self defense.... But then why was one on his lawn shot in the head and the other back at the road by the car shot in the side & hand ???

8:21 pm

Picklesny

that's the beauty of international friends there's always someone here from some time zone

8:21 pm

kje

oh man... that is crazy

8:22 pm

lilliann

it doesn't add up!

8:22 pm

pugmama763

sounds very fishy to me

8:23 pm

pugmama763

and if either of them were armed it would have said so

8:23 pm

kje

I'm sure it will be fully investigated, not just by local police, but the military as well... answers will come out

8:23 pm

pugmama763

but the cops found the shooter walking in the woods nearby with 2 guns & blood on his hand

8:24 pm

lilliann

i hope the police can solve it pug and then these brave men can be laid to rest and their families grieve and begin to get on with their lives, which will never be easy!

8:24 pm

8:31 pm

9:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i spent a whole afternoon on the phone talking to all sorts of agencies, no one know anything about free or low cost clinics (tho i sorta got the impression they knew but did not want to say)

9:22 pm

9:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:26 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

hi min :)

9:26 pm

what is the secret, gwen?

9:27 pm

Jacula

'Night pickles. Hi Min.

9:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

. . . you get the medical service, you get the bill, *then* you apply to the same institution to get their free/low cost plan, which I did, and my biill just went away (i have shortened this story a lot here)

9:27 pm

periwinkle

ok

9:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

so, the actually hospital where i got the care did not want to tell me about their own system to save me money. bastards!

9:28 pm

periwinkle

that sucks

9:28 pm

circe

people don't realize that they can talk their bills down too...esp. if you don't have insurance but even if you do, just call and ask nicely what they can do, usuallly you can get at least 25% off but sometimes you can get way more.

9:28 pm

periwinkle

true, circe

9:29 pm

Jacula

I would say, 'Thank God for the NHS!' but I won't, since they've managed to kill two of my relatives recently. Even so, the concept is still as wonderful as it was when it was first conceived. It's just the fact that they are trying to run it as a business now, with more managers than carers and helpers.

9:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

this is the same hospital where 1) they gave me a CT scan i did not need ($5000) and 2) the staff blamed me for not letting them know my IV was not working properly. idiots!

9:30 pm

circe

okay, I'm off my soapbox for now. Best of luck on the health care, please don't let lack of funds stand in the way of care. you desrve GOOD care regardless of your ability to pay..

9:30 pm

lilliann

we are so lucky to you here as we have the nhs, but we have to wait alot longer fot results, to see consultants, e-rays etc

9:30 pm

Jacula

Lil - I think we un UK are very fortunate to have the NHS, don't you?

9:30 pm

lilliann

*e-rays but i think it all sucks personally!!

9:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

circe, thanks, and you can get up on that soapbox anytime you want 8-D

9:31 pm

Jacula

*in UK, I meant.

9:31 pm

lilliann

we are in one one but not others jac

9:31 pm

circe

thanks Gwen. :) good night everyone!!!

9:31 pm

Jacula

Lili - at least we have the choice! NHS or private.

9:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

seriously, some of these "medical" personnel don't even seem to care if you get any better, because then they are unable to make more money off you

9:32 pm

Jacula

'Night, circe.

9:32 pm

lilliann

i had to go through test and backward and forwards seeing a consultant for over 2 years to find out what was wrong with me!

9:32 pm

lilliann

night circ, tc

9:34 pm

lilliann

then, whilst i was waiting, my nan paid for me to go private...it was the same consultant and he said the same thing...i aldo had the same hearing test...Â£80

9:34 pm

Jacula

Gwen - it's happening even in the NHS here in UK. Nursing etc., was once a vocation. When a job stops being a vocation, is when the problems start. Or, I wonder, was the word 'vocation' invented to get caring people to work for low pay?

9:34 pm

lilliann

it cost my nan overÂ£200 and it wasn't even an hour!!

9:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

seems to be plenty of incompetence in the profession, here and over there, huh

9:36 pm

Jacula

Lili - did you know that it takes longer to train to be a vet than it does to be a doctor? Doctors only have humans to contend with. Vets have to be far more knowledgeable.

9:37 pm

Jacula

If I needed stitches, I rather a vet did them. Their surgeriesd are cleaner.

9:37 pm

lilliann

actually, i did know that jac...what does that have to do with what we are talking about?

9:37 pm

lilliann

actually i would too :)

9:38 pm

cosdem

that does sound like a good idea but I'd assume the US laws wouldn't allow that?

9:38 pm

Jacula

Lili - I suppose it has to do with medics. Have I gone off on a tangent?

9:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmm . . . there's a vet two doors down from my building . . . hmmmm

9:39 pm

Jacula

Gwen - make friends with him!

9:39 pm

lilliann

a little :) but i understand where you're going! :)

9:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

sure a vet could stitch up a human. i seen in in Planet of the Apes and plenty of other fiction! lol

9:40 pm

Jacula

Gwen - it works in real life, too!

9:40 pm

lilliann

the end of the day as jac has said they learn more than doctors and could work on humans and animals...dr's can't do the same!

9:41 pm

Jacula

When it comes down to it, if you are in the medical profession, you should help! What a pity all the health & safety and other so-called laws have muddied the waters.

9:41 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

do you folks in the UK remember that 1970s TV show by Terry nation called Survivors? (I just got it on DVD and watched the whole thing) There's a vet wno ends up doing doctor stuff

9:41 pm

Jacula

Vets begin with human biology in their studies.

9:42 pm

lilliann

no gwen, as i was onl;y born in 1969 but i have heard of it lately...i think it was in a quiz show on the rv the other day!

9:42 pm

Jacula

Gwen - I didn't watch the programme but Mum Mum did (and she gives blow by blow accounts - even when you ask her not to, 'cos you haven't watched it yet.)

9:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i saw on amazon (pardon for mentioning amazon) that there was a remake of it, too. i haven't seen that

9:43 pm

Jacula

Lili - you're the same age as my Beloved then. 12 years younger than me.

9:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

of course i am a Doctor Who fan first, but i like other shows too 8-D

9:44 pm

lilliann

that's where i've seen it gwen...on sky i think..there's been an ad about it

9:44 pm

lilliann

43 in june jac

9:44 pm

Jacula

Gwen - have you seen DR Who Live yet? (The stage show.)

9:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

true science fiction. i mean, one piece of science, and a whole lot of fiction

9:45 pm

Jacula

Lili - bit younger than Beloved, then. He was 43 i n Jan.

9:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, have never had the pleasure of seeing any DW on stage

9:45 pm

lilliann

is there a stage show jac?(is it a musical)?

9:45 pm

Jacula

I'm 55 in April. No idea how THAT happened!

9:45 pm

lilliann

my hubby is 50 in may

9:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

we don't even get complete episode of DW Confidential over here (i mean on DVD) We get edited versions. Grrrr

9:47 pm

Jacula

Lili - re Dr Who, yes. We saw it a couple of years ago, I think.

9:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

top row done at last, OY

9:48 pm

lilliann

gwen, i got rid of my 1st fb acc and i can't think if you are on my 2nd.i won't say my name on here but we played farmville

9:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

uh oh, we are not allowed to talk about farmville in here! lol

9:49 pm

lilliann

are we not?

9:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

if you want to email me your FB name, you can gwenfoss@netrek.net

9:49 pm

lilliann

pfft...ok hin...will do

9:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

farmville chat will suck up the room and turn it into the black hole of chat

9:50 pm

Jacula

US shows we love watching at present are 'Fringe', 'Ringer', 'Lost Girl' and 'Haven'. (Though I think 'Haven' might be Canadian, as is 'October Road' which I eagerly await the return of, as I do 'Dexter'.)

9:50 pm

Jacula

I don't play farmville, but my daughter does.

9:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

apropos of nothing, a whole lot of US shows are made in Canada so you will hear Canadian accents sometimes (if you know how to tell)

9:52 pm

Jacula

Gwen - I'm getting the difference gradually. I'm far more expert at telling the difference between Aussies and Kiwis, though.

9:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm an accent nut. i don't know much about the various British accents but I can at least tell Welsh apart from Scottish apart from Manchester.

9:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and i found one vowel sound they have in NZ but not in Australia, so i can tell them apart if they talk long enough lol

9:55 pm

Jacula

It's so annoying when people don't 'get' your accent, isn't it? I'm from Birmingham UK, though don't have a strong Brummy accent and my other half is from The Black Country. He's so sick of being called 'A Brummie' that we've got tee-shirts to wear on holiday now. Mine reads 'Brummie' and his reads 'Yam Yam' (that's what we in Birmingham call his lot).

9:55 pm

lilliann

i like hawaii five-0 ncis, all of them(and daughter) rizoli ans? can't remember, the closer, and there are quire a few others, but i can't remember...thats' my problem...i need give us a clue! :)

9:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

okay, now i'm intrigued, where is the black country?

9:56 pm

lilliann

i know the difference between aussie and kiwi too jac

9:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and brummy, that's a new word on me, too. very cute. (people from michigan are called michiganders)

9:57 pm

periwinkle

so5/10 pls

9:58 pm

Jacula

The Black Country is in Staffordshire now, but was once part of the wider country of Warwickshire and Worcestershire. It was so named because of the factory chimneys that belched out black smoke, coating everything around with a layer of so4/4.

9:58 pm

periwinkle

nm

9:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have an so5/10, one of those gadgets the navy uses to track ships

9:58 pm

periwinkle

ty gwen

9:58 pm

lilliann

is that not womverhanpton

9:58 pm

Jacula

peri - so5.10 is the sound things whales and dolphins use to comunicate and get around.

9:59 pm

periwinkle

got it ty jacula

9:59 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

soooo, how far apart are brummies and yam yams on the map?

9:59 pm

lilliann

i really need a new keyboard!!

9:59 pm

Jacula

Lili - yes, Wolverhampton (where Slade come from) does come under that heading.

9:59 pm

Jacula

peri - y/w.

10:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, and here's another cute locator name: people from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan are called Yoopers (from U.P.)

10:00 pm

lilliann

i was going to say that was where slade came from :)

10:01 pm

Jacula

It's so much fun getting all this info from around the world. Thanks for the info, Gwen.

10:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and last but not least, Michigan is pronounced MISH-i-gan, not MITCH-i-gan 8-)

10:02 pm

Jacula

Lol Lilli - glad I got in first, since I was at their early concerts when they came to Brum.

10:02 pm

lilliann

so we have michiganders and yoopers!....cool

10:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

what is the origin of yam yam, do you know? (or should i just bring up wikipedia?)

10:04 pm

lilliann

no, sorry gwen, you'll have to look it up :)

10:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

some time ago, 1970s maybe, the michigan legislature passed a law (decree?) (whatever) that we would officially be Miganians, not Michiganders. but they cannot legislate away our name like that, so we all still call ourselves Michiganders

10:04 pm

Jacula

yam yam comes from the general sound of their speech... eye am etc. They also saw 'oh arr!' quite a lot.

10:04 pm

Jacula

ut not in a Somerset way.

10:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oops, Michiganian, not Miganian (OY)

10:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh arr, how deliciously british. cor blimey

10:05 pm

lilliann

now, you really are showing your age jac...as in with slade:)

10:05 pm

Jacula

I remember ringing my (now ex) hubby up at our business once and catching him in the factory. All I could hear in the background was what sounded like an Adam Ant track, as I said at the time.

10:06 pm

lilliann

who says cor blimey??

10:07 pm

lilliann

we don't all talk posh ot cor blimey you know :)

10:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the other day i noticed my minister using not one but two "britishisms" in his sermon. I asked him did he used to live in england or does he just watch a lot of British TV

10:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

just like me, he watches a lot of British TV, and they get into our vocabulary sometimes

10:08 pm

lilliann

but i suppose it is the same here we either hear newyork accents or southern

10:08 pm

Jacula

Me talk posh? I write posh, 'cos I'm a writer,

10:09 pm

lilliann

as in american actors speak cor blimey and posh and the brit acrors speak new york and southern

Anyway, I went to a funeral last Wednesday and it was punctuated, as we stood in the freezing front garden with all the funeral flowers on the lawn by the comedy act the 4 surviing brothers in by Other Half's family seem to form. The only way I can think to write it up on my blog is as a short story.

10:21 pm

jillibus

Hello all -- I think I now have a mid-Atlantic accent. My grandfather was one of the people involved in Standard English, or Received Pronunciation -- had a lot of influence in Hollywood, cleaning up accents apparently.

10:21 pm

Jacula

I'm going to anothr funeral this Wednesday. This time, it's my ex-hub's uncle.

10:21 pm

I started very BRit, went to the USA at 8 and my mother said I became 200% American, then off to Cheltenham Ladies' College in England, 200% posh, then back to Brit Shanghai, then to the USA, then to Canada. What a mess!

10:23 pm

hi jilli hows the ankle?

10:23 pm

Gwen - can we all not just speak as we speak - nd just do it more clearly and slowly for the benefit of others?

10:24 pm

10:24 pm

jillibus

10:24 pm

I'm sure you are anxious to be able to drive again, jilli...

10:25 pm

I was asking people to use my cell phone, which I carry with me, but got a shocking bill for December of $234 because of extra air tiem. We in Canada are shafted about cell phone rates.

According to Consumer Reports and outher sources, Canada has the worst cell phone service in the world.

10:31 pm

by worst service you mean biggest gouging? or bad connectivity and stuff too?

(i don't have a cell phone, don't want the bills or the hassle)

My uncle in Canada gets free local calls and also has some kind of card that gives cheaper rates for ringing the UK etc.
