back to bed for a couple hours..zzzz's
3:50 am
rubyfoo
good morning. I have 12 minutes for a quick run-through
3:51 am
rubyfoo
what are you doing up so early, kje?
3:52 am
kje
it is 0149 here... was woken up by noisy people next door. I'm in a hotel
3:53 am
rubyfoo
I hope you can get back to sleep
3:53 am
kje
me too... especially since I have to meet people tomorrow. I have mtgs in the morning with some colleagues at UCSF
3:54 am
rubyfoo
usually, the problem with awakening like that in an annoying way, gets the adrenalin pumping
3:55 am
kje
yes, and b/c I had already been asleep for several hours, the edge of tiredness is over
4:03 am
rubyfoo
today is my black chow, max's (pictured) 8th birthday
4:03 am
rubyfoo
dogs are getting old, just like their mom!
4:03 am
kje
i love chows... had a blond one called shalom
4:04 am
rubyfoo
evidently, one of Martha Stewart's chows won at Westminster
4:04 am
rubyfoo
I've had two shaded blondes over the years, Rosie and Ruby
4:05 am
rubyfoo
oh, yes, and Rufus, my magnificent old boy was shaded blonde, too
4:05 am
kje
very very smart dogs
4:05 am
rubyfoo
but they don't show off their intelligence; it's very subtle
4:06 am
kje
shalom was house trained in 2 days, and learned to fetch, shake hands, heel, all in a couple tries
4:06 am
kje
and very affectionate without being annoying
4:06 am
rubyfoo
they are very clean and all five have been wonderful about that but as for tricks? I think they teach me tricks
4:07 am
rubyfoo
and also have great senses of humor! and they smile!
4:08 am
debjed
good morning :) having trouble sleeping....
4:08 am
rubyfoo
now that Ruby is 9, I massage her for an hour every night to help with imppending arthritis. How long did Shalom live?
4:08 am
kje
they do have a lot of personality... my roommate got shalom when she married
4:08 am
kje
made more sense since she'd have a big place with lots of yard
4:08 am
rubyfoo
hello deb
4:08 am
rubyfoo
have to go make the mister his Campari
4:08 am
rubyfoo
hope you gals can get back to sleep
4:09 am

Yep.

I watched Perry Mason last night.
7:18 am
Kaplan the Magne
I recorded "Dobie Gillis."
7:19 am
Anniebrook
You rang?
7:19 am
Kaplan the Magne
That's the one.
7:19 am
Kaplan the Magne
Perry Mason- Burr had some scary eyes!
7:19 am
MollyL
I was singing the Texaco commercial jingle on the way home yesterday.
7:20 am
Kaplan the Magne
You can trust your car to the man who wears the star.
7:20 am
Kaplan the Magne
The big bright texaco star!
7:20 am
Anniebrook
Milton Berle show
7:20 am
MollyL
Alas, we have no men to trust our cars to anymore. It's all self serve.
7:21 am
Kaplan the Magne
I have told you- when I die, I will not see a white light and all my loved ones. I will see the NBC peacock or the CBS eye, and all my favorite shows from childhood waiting for me.
7:21 am
Kaplan the Magne
Commercials too. With open arms.
7:21 am
Kaplan the Magne
My eternity...
7:21 am
Anniebrook
sounds good, Kap
7:21 am
MollyL
With bowls of junk food and RC Cola all around
7:21 am
Kaplan the Magne
Yup.
7:22 am
Kaplan the Magne
I am going to be in NY for a week in a very bare-bones apartment. We have to bring our own sheets and towels.
7:22 am
Kaplan the Magne
50 bucks a night- how bad could it be?
7:23 am
Kaplan the Magne
Very bad, she replied.
7:23 am
MollyL
No wi-fi, bring your own linens, this sounds like an inner city cave.
7:24 am
Kaplan the Magne
No shower. Zinc tub?
7:24 am
uusue2
$50 a night in NYC??? Is it big enough for an actual bed?
7:24 am
Anniebrook
where is the apartment, Kap
7:24 am
Kaplan the Magne
in the Village. Not the Village with Number 6.
7:24 am
MollyL
Just a wash basin? Really?
7:25 am
Kaplan the Magne
Tub.
7:25 am
Kaplan the Magne
The details of my husbands arrangement are slowly unfolding.
7:25 am
Anniebrook
I hope it has a bed
7:25 am
Kaplan the Magne
As they always do.
7:26 am
Kaplan the Magne
"by the way, did I tell you that where we're staying, there is no..."
7:26 am
Anniebrook
Greenwich Village is a great area.
7:26 am
MollyL
I bet it's a Murphy bed, or a futon.
7:26 am
Kaplan the Magne
Yeah. If it is warm I will sleep in Washington Sq. Park.
7:27 am
Kaplan the Magne
Have ambien, can deal.
7:27 am
Anniebrook
Hold on to your purse, then
7:27 am
Kaplan the Magne
Husband was going to leave me there to visit colleges with my daughter near DC for 2-3 days and I said NO NO NO
7:28 am
Mom
good morning everyone
7:28 am
Kaplan the Magne
Not worried about purses. Worried about claustrophobia and no wifi.
7:28 am
Anniebrook
good morning, ((Mom))
7:28 am
Kaplan the Magne
Hi Mom.
7:28 am

Hi Annie, Kap, Mom

I don't know if it is zinc, actually. I do now there is not a shower.
7:29 am
Mom
Good morning Kap
7:29 am
Anniebrook
Old, Old, Old apartment
7:29 am
Kaplan the Magne
It will be nostalgic- like going back to the place where my father was born.
7:29 am
Kaplan the Magne
Slum?
7:30 am
Anniebrook
probably West Village?
7:30 am
Kaplan the Magne
If it is clean and the bed is reasonable I will be OK. I hope.
7:30 am
Kaplan the Magne
Yeah, Thompson St. Great place.
7:31 am
Kaplan the Magne
I'll be there a week.
7:31 am
Mom
hope there are no bed bugs lurking
7:31 am
Kaplan the Magne
Old stomping grounds.
7:31 am
Anniebrook
It's only a week, you'll be okay. Thompson St. used to be an Italian neghborhood back in the day. Now it is trendy.
7:32 am
Kaplan the Magne
More likely to find bedbugs in a Priceline hotel, husband says.
7:32 am
MollyL
Ew, bed bugs : O
7:32 am
Anniebrook
be back soon
7:32 am
bichon
They're not only at hotels. I think my kids in CA have them. I was all bitten up. Either that or fleas
7:32 am
Mom
bed bugs aren't particular
7:33 am
Mom
((Annie)) bye for now
7:33 am
MollyL
Oh gross Bich
7:33 am
Kaplan the Magne
Thanks Mom.
7:36 am
Mom
When my sweetie had to go away for a week, he was concerned out bed bugs at the hotel where he was staying. Bed Bath and Beyond make a suitcase insert t keep your belongs free of the pest. Thankfully it was fine
7:37 am
Mom
Now on to a more pleasant topic .....
7:39 am
MollyL
Head lice!
7:39 am
Kaplan the Magne
Tomorrow night I am seeing ARETHA>
7:39 am
Mom
anyone have any help aids for a toothache?
7:39 am
Mom
Sweetie is having trouble with a wisdom tooth and he can't get it extracted until Tuesday
7:39 am
Mom
that sounds like fun, Kap/
7:40 am
MollyL
Didn't the dentist give him anything for pain Mom?
7:40 am
Mom
benzicaine but that isn't touching it
7:40 am
Kaplan the Magne
Anti-inflammatories and oragel?
7:40 am
Mom
we have tried Orajel
7:41 am
Mom
I was mixing cloves and liquid to make a paste at 2:30 this morning
7:41 am
Kaplan the Magne
till TUESDAY? What is he supposed to DO?
7:41 am
Mom
he had perocet but that didn't seem to help
7:41 am
MollyL
Benzicaine? I would call and ask for something stronger. My dentist prescribes Percocet for tooth pain.
7:41 am
Mom
he has to be off aspirin for 5 days
7:42 am
MollyL
Yikes, Percocet isn't helping?
7:42 am
Mom
he said next time if any one ask if he takes aspirin he will say NO
7:42 am
Kaplan the Magne
If percocests didn't help.....???????????????
7:43 am
Mom
he has the weekend off so we will try vicodin
7:43 am
Mom
he can't be on that stuff and work on the elevators :-(
7:43 am
MollyL
Topical stuff isn't going to help. Wisdom tooth pain is deep in the root, most of the time.
7:43 am
Kaplan the Magne
Vicodin is another opioid like percoset. If percs didn't help...
7:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
Molly---"it couldn't hoit."
7:44 am
Mom
we have some vicodin that is stronger than the percocet
7:44 am
MollyL
Just don't let him do the Castaway thing Mom. Ugly, very ugly.
7:45 am
Mom
<--- never saw Castaway
7:48 am
MollyL
Tom Hanks knocks out his own tooth. Like I said, ugly.
7:48 am
Mom
I appreciate all the help
7:48 am
Mom
he can hardly open his mouth
guess I am out of the kitchen for a few days
7:49 am
MollyL
With an ice skate. *Shudders*
7:49 am
MollyL
Poor Mr. Mom. Tooth pain and a liquid diet.
7:50 am
Mom
he said he wanted to lose a few pounds
7:50 am
Mom
probably not the way he intended
7:53 am
Mom
be back in a bit. ZIggy is tugging on my arm. Silly kitty
7:53 am
carleekat
good morning all... and owwie for Mr Mom hope he feels better soon
7:53 am
Mom
hi ((Carlee)) good morning and thank you
7:53 am
MollyL
Just don't give him Ensure. Someone described that yesterday as tasting like "chilled snot".
7:54 am
Mom
rest assured I will not feed him ensure
7:54 am
Mom

is everyone afflicted with sleepiness today like i am? is that why it's so quiet?
8:13 am
MollyL
I am. I'm so glad it's the weekend. I need some sleep in days.
8:14 am
MollyL
It's been quiet here for days. I keep wondering who issued the gag order on Babble.
8:14 am
hurshy
i have still not got back into my normal rhythm with exercise since my tonsils came out like 8 weeks ago. this morning i got up in time to do all the exercise i would have done before the surgery, and then mitten wanted to cuddle, so i thought, ok, cuddle for a bit and then still have a reasonable amount of time... but then i fell asleep...
8:15 am
hurshy
i think alinary sounds like a word. but no such luck finding the 7.
8:15 am

8:32 am
vanillaslice

vanillaslice... never could eat a vanilla slice... but i am having cravings for a piece of real aussie hedgehog
8:37 am
vanillaslice
perhaps you never had a real vanilla slice
8:38 am
vanillaslice
dumb but not sure what is a aussie hedgehog
8:38 am
rolin
i just dont like custard...and the texture and taste is too custardy....and the ae6/24 sounds like an adverb to do with what we breathe
8:39 am
rolin
a hedgehog???.. is it an east coast thing... chocolate slice with crusked tea biscuits and a faux chocolate icing..
8:39 am
MollyL
Chocolate should never be faux
8:39 am
vanillaslice
ok unknown here in the west, strange isnt it
8:40 am
rolin
yeah..but then its a pretty big country..lol
8:42 am
vanillaslice
I put a touch of rum in mine to take the custardy taste away, but then I love custard
8:43 am
vanillaslice
indeed
8:44 am
rolin
i can tell its an 'even year'.... im starting ti have withdrawal symptoms for aussie food
8:44 am
vanillaslice
and the shop van slices rarely have real cream
8:45 am
vanillaslice
Our German baker has gone to God and took his craft with him
8:46 am
rolin
molly... normally i would agree with you... but you have to have grown up with the aussie hedgehog to appreciate its nuances..lol... ive had something similar with real choclate melted on top...and its just not right
8:46 am
vanillaslice
you lived in oz?
8:46 am
rolin
born in aus... been here 10 years come back every even year..for hols
8:47 am

I was born in Holland, no wish to go there too often

what is the difference between jonquils and daffodils, pls. In France they're all called jonquils
12:16 pm
bethn
they are part of the same family, jonuqils usually have a cluster of blooms
12:17 pm
bethn
but in many areas they are used interchangeably
12:17 pm
rubyfoo
OK, thank you, so what I have are daffodils (not yet, though), but the locals call them jonquils
12:18 pm
bethn
are yours blooming already?
12:19 pm
rubyfoo
no, it's been in the teens here, not a shoot in sight!
12:20 pm
rubyfoo
one year we had snow on the tulips in mid-April
12:20 pm
bethn
it is milder than normal here @50 F, but no sprouts yet. How much snow do you typically get?
12:21 pm
rubyfoo
nothing seems "typical". The first couple of years we had normal winters with lots of snow. Then the past two years, early snow (a lot) in Dec. But this is the first brutally cold winter
12:21 pm
rubyfoo
my sister in NY said that her daffs are coming up already
12:22 pm
bethn
we got 2 feet in october, and then only an inch here and there, but we lost trees in october because the snow was too heavy for the trees to bear
12:24 pm
rubyfoo
we lose some branches every year when the snow comes off the roof, luckily nobody has been under it at the time
12:24 pm
bethn
how is your husband ruby? last time i saw you you were waiting for the dr to come in the evening he was in so much pain
12:25 pm
hoyamd
beth, where in NJ? i grew up in morris county.
12:25 pm
rubyfoo
he is managing the pain better and gets out of bed for some of his meals, but he's still a mess
12:26 pm
rubyfoo
thank you for asking
12:26 pm
bethn
what is causing the pain? I have not been here much and have missed alot
12:26 pm
rubyfoo
we are just calling it lumbago but there is nothing evident
12:28 pm
bethn
so it is back pain? do they have lidoderm patches there? It is a topical anesthetic
12:29 pm
rubyfoo
nothing seems to help including patches
12:29 pm
rubyfoo
I think he just carries things that are too heavy (Mr. Stubborn) and has pulled some muscles in his lower back
12:30 pm
bethn
impregnated patch it is a prescription but is has helped with my back issues
12:30 pm
rubyfoo
I'll ask the pharmacist. We tried some patches that heat up when you apply them
12:31 pm
bethn
there is no heat or smell to these, it is a 4x6 inch patch that helps me quite a bit

12:50 pm

Technically, green peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, and tomatoes are all fruits. But don’t try telling that to the U.S. Supreme Court. Per the 1893 case Nix v. Hedden, the court decided tomatoes were veggies and therefore subject to the vegetable tariff. The Supreme Court’s reasoning? Tomatoes have to be vegetables because they’re usually served with dinner, not dessert.

I don't know, I'm not Christian, but I know some people abstain from meat

I don't know of anyone who actually 'fasts', but I know some who only eat seafood/fish on Fridays... O_o and there are a few who give up temptations/habits for 40 days (like gossiping or drinking sodas)
1:26 pm

Raised Catholic and I never did get the whole "give something up" thing.

4:58 pm
Kaplan the Magne
That would make me certain that there is a secret room.
4:58 pm

theres one thing i dont understand.. in the first episode the first guy wasnt that bad. he went to jail because he stole food to feed his family. but then all of a sudden he's a mass murderer?
4:59 pm
Soodle
But much much creepier was Wicklow Gaol. (Google it...). That is without doubt a very very haunted place.
4:59 pm
cosdem

I have been deprived of Babble recently, due to domestic responsiblilities. But, as always, when I return, its like meeting up with old friends. The conversation this evening has touched on virginity, vaginas, snow white, sports stadia, alcatraz, sports stadia, and most points inbetween. Stimulating conversation as always. Thank you alll.

5:18 pm
MizHoffle
you are welcome! Hopefully the clue was not for naught, that someone might need it.
5:18 pm
MizHoffle
I know I have to think of something to give up for Lent. My go to is caffiene and red meat.
5:19 pm
cosdem
i gave up lent for lent years ago. i'm doing good :) lol
5:19 pm
wht
Time to go, myself. Hope to bbl.
5:20 pm
MollyL
It is my humble opinion that Lent is better spent deciding to do something good for 40 days instead of giving something up.
5:20 pm
MizHoffle
ha! many years ago, a boyfriend tried convincing me to give up my virginity for Lent...that was not working in his favor
5:20 pm
cosdem
never mind found the ey5
5:20 pm
cosdem
my friends read a couple of verses from the bible for 40 days during lent..
5:20 pm
cosdem
she usually reads it once a week.. i think thats a pretty good thing
5:20 pm

but he had to abstain for 40 days and nights.
5:22 pm
MizHoffle
I knew I should have sold the rights!
5:22 pm

Then I want Emma Stone to play me...we look nothing alike, but at least she shares my hair color
5:24 pm

i don't practice Catholicism anymore but I still read my childhood parish bulletins.. a few weeks ago my old priest posted this: "Gay people: I am sick and tired of people being negative about them. They are our brothers and sisters. They are God's children" ---
5:24 pm
cosdem
i was surprised and very impressed so I e-mailed him a thank you note. i haven't heard back though lol
5:24 pm

my father's second wife was catholic and she observed lent by being 'a little nicer to everyone' although I don't know how she could have been nicer.
5:24 pm
cosdem
lol mab :)
5:25 pm

I still practice, but from afar (I don't attend church often)
5:25 pm

i don't know from lent. is it lent now?
5:25 pm

As long as people are kind to one another, the world would be a better place

Cos, that is so sweet. I love to hear about Catholics bucking the "Catholic line" and just being loving people.
5:27 pm
MizHoffle
I don't believe in all of the Catholic doctrines, but I will always have my faith.
5:27 pm
cosdem
Yes I thought it was wonderful. I do know there's a gay deacon in that church as well.
5:28 pm
MollyL
Faith has nothing to do with what religion you attach yourself too. It's just faith.
5:28 pm
cosdem
That guy mentored me actually.. took me to brunch after mass and discussed isses. I think he knew about me before I did. And he was very appropiate. Never alone with me.
5:28 pm

Oh my. An elderly priest I once met told me, afer I ranted and raved about the horrors that unfolded in the catholic church here... he just said PTLA. Praise The Lord Anyway

A large majority of Catholic people I know are not bigots. They're very accepting.

That is so nice to hear Cos.
5:29 pm

Why a new one Mab? I have a mezuzah. I say a prayer for my family on it every morning.
5:29 pm

al 7 - al + ne 6 - the N - add a vowel at the end for the 8
5:30 pm

So because of that I can't really disavow Catholicism but I don't exactly feel welcome in most churches. If I still lived in Chicago I'd probably attend the Church in the gay neighborhood that they set up for gay people to attend and feel safe.
5:31 pm
72 Temple Owl

My son asked me why I didn't take Communion at my Father's funeral. I told him it was because the Catholics consider me excommunicated because I am divorced. And so it goes. I'm still on very good terms with God. : )

Gotta run, see you all later.
6:08 pm

I guess that is good, at least that he was intercepted... one of the lessons learned
6:11 pm
mab
it makes me wonder how many people are cooking up plans. who intercepts them.
6:12 pm

and it makes me realize how privacy is no longer to be had
6:14 pm

well, I would still like privacy - not sure I am willing to give that up too much for a perception of safety

10:40 pm
Picklesny
ty, is smarty gaining weight?
10:41 pm
jesdraggon
he is! I should update his picture; going to kick him out in the field this weekend i think, as he's started leaving hay in his feeder or wasting it on the ground, and is more interested in the other horses than in eating constantly now.
10:41 pm
jesdraggon
he has probably gained about 80 pounds since December.
10:42 pm
Picklesny
he sure is beautiful if you don't notice his ribs
10:43 pm
jesdraggon
hah! yeah, he looks lots better--grew in a nice undercoat by mid january, so not as patchy and chewed up looking. still underweight, of course, but at least now he's starting to look less like someone threw an old hide over a rack and more like a skinny horse :)
10:45 pm
Picklesny
thay wonderful
10:46 pm
jesdraggon
And he's down to a 1-2/5 lameness instead of 4/5, so i have hopes he'll end up sound by the time he is at full weight.
10:48 pm
Picklesny
will he be rideable?
10:49 pm
jesdraggon
well, that's the hope, if he's sound
10:49 pm
jesdraggon
if he's not sound... i dunno. probably look for a home as a pasture ornament
10:49 pm
jesdraggon
much harder to place a horse that's not sound though.
10:55 pm
Picklesny

10:56 pm
jesdraggon
