12:42 am

cybernan

have a cl 7 - crofters hut -- is there another?

12:42 am

cosdem

i have cl7 sewer

12:42 am

rururocks

I think it pertains to Jerry Garcia's behavior

12:43 am

jillibus

my cl 7 is 7/36 and isn't a crofter's hut

12:44 am

cybernan

crofter's hut is cl 7/40

12:44 am

cosdem

i have c;l 7/36 too i think its the one you found. im sure of it cause i added a vowel to the cl6

12:44 am

jillibus

cos I think we have the same cl7

12:44 am

cybernan

don't have either of those

12:45 am

cosdem

cl6/24 and cl7/36 right?

12:46 am

12:46 am

cosdem

12:47 am

rastapopolous

bird vent

12:47 am

cybernan

bird vent? a vent on a bird?

12:47 am

jillibus

ok, hint for cl7/40 please

12:47 am

cosdem

i thught it meant ancient sewer.

12:48 am

rastapopolous

yes, birds have vents

12:48 am

bethn

a vent on a bird is comparable to anus/urinary opening

12:48 am

rastapopolous

it maybe means that as well. I learned it in biology though

12:49 am

joshuavorbis

huh, ma7/8 new to me

12:49 am

dcseain

cl7.40 is a small, rural settlement in Ireland or Scotland, usually lacking any formal or official buildings

12:50 am

jillibus

cl6/7 -- 1. the common cavity into which the intestinal, urinary, and generative canals open in birds, reptiles, amphibians, many fishes, and certain mammals.
b. a similar cavity in invertebrates.
2. a sewer, especially an ancient sewer.

12:50 am

cybernan

it is also used in scotland to describe a sod hut in rural areas

12:51 am

rastapopolous

I wonder which mammals have a cl6?

12:51 am

jillibus

yes, I realise what the cl7/40 means, but would like a hint as to the word itself please

12:51 am

cybernan

great to have all the defs for the bird vent, but I'm no closer to finding it!

12:52 am

jillibus

lol, nan, that's how I feel about the sod hut, sod it.

12:53 am

jillibus

rasta, some humans do but don't live long without surgery

12:53 am

cybernan

have you been to culloden, jill?

12:54 am

jillibus

never been to Scotland, nan

12:54 am

joshuavorbis

i've been to culloden, very somber place

12:54 am

jillibus

but I guess that's a hint?

12:54 am

rastapopolous

I've been there - were there some cl7's?

12:54 am

cybernan

cl 7: tight fitting hat - a vowel + indefinite article

12:55 am

cybernan

there is a cl 7 on the battlefield that has been preserved

12:57 am

rastapopolous

I thought a tight fitting hat was a tuque

12:57 am

jillibus

nan -- for the cl6 & 7 -- if you wear an invisible cl**k nobody **n (is able) to see you. And Latin pl.

12:57 am

cybernan

popular headgear for ladies in the 1920's

12:57 am

joshuavorbis

Excellent! and when are we to expect you? or is that undecided as yet?

1:03 am

jillibus

I'm afraid the Aussie trip is cancelled for now -- have to keep that leg elevated as much as possible so 15Â½ hours on a plane in Economy is a nono. I'd like to try again in October but son probably can't go with me then.

1:04 am

jillibus

Besides, I'm still hobbling somewhat and need dressings changed on the leg wound.

1:04 am

lynxxx

I am sure you will get here eventually Jilli. So many choices for compression stockings/socks available now as well. You'll have to take breaks in the US and Hawaii and NZ so it is not such a long trip!!

1:05 am

flosey

1:06 am

lynxxx

You OK Flosey????

1:06 am

jillibus

It sounds important, flosey.

1:07 am

dizgrannie

1:07 am

flosey

just this chest cold dragging on too long, perhaps needs a boost

1:07 am

jillibus

That sounds nice, lyn -- we'll see. I don't want to travel alone.

1:08 am

lynxxx

1:08 am

It's been FAR too long, flosey.

1:09 am

7:02 am

gramma

I didn't. What was the verdict? Who won what?

7:02 am

car.eeyore

Hugo won the most. The Artist won Best Picture.

7:02 am

periwinkle

Meryl Streep for best actress. Olivia something from the help for best supporting actress.

7:02 am

bichon

I can't sit through those commercials anyway. I can't believe a silent film won.

7:03 am

EspritdJean

olivia spencer

7:03 am

bichon

I wish "The Help" won.

7:03 am

periwinkle

Christoper Plumer I think for best actor

7:03 am

car.eeyore

Meryl Streep won best actress. Jean Dudiere (?sp) won best actor.

7:03 am

EspritdJean

supporting actor

7:03 am

periwinkle

thanks EJ. she was so overwhelmed,

7:03 am

EspritdJean

christopher plummer

7:03 am

car.eeyore

Christopher Plummer was best supporting actor.

7:03 am

periwinkle

oh ok car

7:03 am

EspritdJean

yes she was, nice to see some humility for a change

7:04 am

gramma

Wow. A silent

7:04 am

car.eeyore

It is so hard to keep them all straight, Peri!

7:04 am

periwinkle

wish the other nomine from the Help had won but Merly is a wonderful actress

7:04 am

car.eeyore

I was wondering about The Artist and why it was in the major categories and not foreign films...turns out the whole thing was filmed in L.A.!

7:04 am

periwinkle

7:05 am

periwinkle

7:05 am

Anniebrook

7:06 am

7:07 am

7:08 am

periwinkle

7:08 am

car.eeyore

Whee! Got 'em!

7:08 am

Anniebrook

great

7:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

Beautiful word.

7:08 am

periwinkle

byeee

7:09 am

Anniebrook

Kap, are you home?

7:10 am

Kaplan the Magne

yah.

7:10 am

car.eeyore

I have so many phantoms today!!! YIKES!

7:15 am

MollyL

Just for the record, it's Octavia Spencer

7:15 am

car.eeyore

Thank you, Molly! I kept thinking Octavia Davis...which is the name of the other woman who was nominated.

7:17 am

MollyL

I find it interesting that Streep was overlooked at the other two film awards and won at this one. Who knows? I didn't see her film, so I have no way of comparing her to Viola Davis.

7:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

It was just time for Streep. Not that she was better- just that it was her time again.

7:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's longitudinal.

7:19 am

MollyL

I have a friend who said that if Streep won, she was going to LA to snatch the award out of her hands. We are not Streep fans, she and I. : )

7:19 am

car.eeyore

I was glad that the Best Supporting Actor did not go to Nick Nolte. I am sure his performance was good, but I didn't want to see it go to him just because he had not won before....

7:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

Not a Streep fan?

7:20 am

MollyL

Christopher Plummer vs Nick Nolte is NO CONTEST

7:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

Next you're gonna tell me you don't like lady Gaga.

7:20 am

car.eeyore

I totally agree Molly...but I was nervous about it.

7:21 am

MollyL

No, not in the huge, drooling way that most people are.

7:21 am

car.eeyore

<---- not a huge Gaga fan.

7:21 am

MollyL

Kap, if Gaga would just sing and drop all the theatrics, I might like her. I can't get past all the "pay attention to me" stuff.

7:22 am

Kaplan the Magne

I know she does a lot of roles that are excercises in parody or mimicry or whatever...

7:22 am

Kaplan the Magne

I LIKE the theatrics, though she did look lonely at the Grammys.

7:22 am

car.eeyore

Exactly Molly. There is putting on a show and then there is just being ridiculous. I feel she has crossed the line.

7:22 am

car.eeyore

Her New Year's Eve performance was awkward to watch.

7:23 am

car.eeyore

I really like her music though.

7:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

But the Thanksgiving special was awesome, especially how she was with the 5th grade girls.

7:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

Huge vaudeville tradition of over the top.

7:24 am

Kaplan the Magne

Bette Midler in concert...fun fun fun.

7:24 am

car.eeyore

It is also just too much marketing...too "in your face". I felt that same way about Madonna...after a while it was just, "well, let's see what ridiculous thing she is going to do now..."

7:24 am

car.eeyore

LOVE Bette Midler! Great concert!

7:24 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's all post-Warholian.

7:25 am

car.eeyore

I am going to head back to bed for a bit. I have a wicked sore throat today and that "oh no, I am getting sick feeling".

7:25 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hell, I even like Eninem. What I can't stand is all the current lyrics about love your ass, do it with me, gonna get you in my bedroom and do this or that, and "I like the way it hurts"

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

Which is why Rihanna bugs me.

7:26 am

car.eeyore

I like him too Kaplan. In fact, I was just having a conversation about him yesterday with a teenager that I know.

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

I hate that Oh No I'm Getting Sick feeling!!!!

7:26 am

JBV

hi folks - Kap it sounds like we're from the generation when "I wanna hold your hand" was sexy!

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

I gotta go to the gym and see if my hip holds out.

7:27 am

car.eeyore

It is not my favorite. I felt fine last night and then about 2:00 this morning I could feel it coming on....

7:27 am

car.eeyore

Hi JBV!

7:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

"Why don't we do it in the road?"

7:27 am

JBV

this grid looks pretty much impossible without a list today

7:27 am

JBV

i've been at it for about an hour and only have 159 words

7:27 am

car.eeyore

Hugs to all of you today! {[hugs}}

7:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

Bye later.

7:28 am

Hi JBV, there's a list

7:28 am

BoggleNewbie

Hey guys. No hints please. I just have a question. I have 90 words left and things slowed down to a crawl. I might find 1 word every five minutes now. lol Is this list full of really bizarre unknown words or something? The puzzles usually aren't this hard for me and I can get down to 20 to go usually very easily. But I have 9o to go and am really struggling.

8:08 am

rubyfoo

what did I do, no no?

8:09 am

NonoNanette

your cap letters ruby, its in the grid

8:09 am

Scrabbler

We all hit the wall, Boggie. It's best to use a list to get it over with if you really want to finish.

8:09 am

flosey

Boggle, there are often words we don't normally use, or have never even heard, sometimes monkey them

8:09 am

rubyfoo

and the caps were an accident :( but I'll sidle into the PB anyway

8:10 am

BoggleNewbie

Yeah, every puzzle has some words that are totally foreign to me. I'm just asking if in your opinion this puzzle has more than usual.

8:10 am

NonoNanette

the caps just should excitement at reaching that point ruby :)

8:10 am

flosey

yes, as Scrabbs says, the list can be very helpful

8:10 am

BoggleNewbie

If they're normal words and I am just tired then I would like to keep looking. But if they're a ton of bizarre words that I would never find, then I'd rather just get a list and finish. lol So I wanted to know what you guys think

8:11 am

Scrabbler

I am not quite ha**way and already have some weirdos on my list.

8:11 am

NonoNanette

I slowed way down now boggle

8:11 am

flosey

I would seldom finish a grid of this size without a list

8:11 am

rubyfoo

I nave saw the ha**, talk about weird words lol

8:12 am

BoggleNewbie

Ok cool. Glad I'm not the only one. THough I was losing my touch. lol I hate crazy words. lol

8:12 am

flosey

there are quite a few odd words that we refer to as babblets

8:12 am

BoggleNewbie

Did anyone use the x for any words?

8:13 am

BoggleNewbie

lol @ babblets. Love it.

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Boggie, each Babbler decides for themselves how they want to use their time here. Some mostly chat. Others find some words for fun + relaxation. Others finish every grid. Some are here for short times. Others seem to be here all day and I find that sad.

8:13 am

NonoNanette

havent used the x so far

8:13 am

flosey

think the only x I tried, didn't work,

8:14 am

rubyfoo

I get as many words as I can, using the chog and people's clues, but only finished a handful of times and that was with FM's help

8:15 am

BoggleNewbie

cool thanks guys

Aloy my father-in-law was part of the team that first produced correl. When he brought home a couple of pieces to test at home, he went to show us how you could drop it and wouldn't so much as chip and it shattered LOL

9:08 am

NonoNanette

oh that was called old town blue I think. That is what I wanted but when we got ours all that was available was the plain white

9:09 am

Scrabbler

They come when they want to, Aloy. I am at the Indian Reservation so compliance with appts, meds, etc is less than optimal.

according to morewords there is a word 'cors' but babble will not accept it - can anyone tell me why please

9:52 am

Aloyisius

ttfn, wv

9:52 am

Aloyisius

happens all the time Jiving.. the "enable" dictionary, often referred to as "disabled", rules the roost here

9:53 am

hego

only accept words in their own dictionary.

9:53 am

wvteach

there have been many words in morewords that Babble will not accept - "ours not to reason why"

9:53 am

flosey

sorry jenny, there will seem to be no explanation for 'words' that are accepted and those that are not

9:53 am

hego

Hi Jenny

9:54 am

Jivingjenny0

ok thanks for the explanations

9:54 am

flosey

just grin and shake it off, we refer to a good many of them as Babblets

9:54 am

NonoNanette

and oft times words that enable accepts have no meaning

9:54 am

I just finished with last kid of the morning.

Scrabs, you come up with the greatest words

10:55 am

kje

ty scrab!

10:55 am

Scrabbler

This one was a teen--yuck. But I saw some cute babies and toddlers earlier. I would be happy to not see adolescents.

10:55 am

Scrabbler

Bichon, it's a real word. I just suddenly saw it.

10:56 am

Scrabbler

cl7 = Latin ending

10:56 am

kje

yep

10:56 am

bichon

I would have been happy not to have to be a mother to adolescents. But, now they produce grand kids

10:56 am

bichon

Now, I have heard of it

10:57 am

Scrabbler

I will have a great-nephew in July.

10:57 am

Way to go Scrabs.

woohoo, scrab!

10:58 am

Scrabbler

I was in shock when I heard the news but now I am excited. Jaxson James will be his name. I prefer traditional spellings though.

10:59 am

yes, that will be corrected the rest of his life

11:00 am

Sending positive thoughts to you, your grandboy and your family, Mkg.

11:02 am

well not in hell since the news friday. go see updates scrabbler. there is finally some better news. it is not cancer they are now saying.

11:02 am

Scrabbler

Really? New diagnosis?

11:03 am

kje

good news, mkg!

11:03 am

bichon

Scrabs, there was a great article in Saturday's WSJ about how important it for mothers to stay emotionally close with their sons throught their childhood.

11:03 am

Scrabbler

Do you have a family page with updates?

11:03 am

mkg

ty for the 9.

11:03 am

mkg

and the 10. ty

11:03 am

Scrabbler

Pluralize for ra10.

11:03 am

mkg

go to caringbridge.org/visit/zakkai for updates.

11:03 am

Scrabbler

I will search for that, Bichon.

11:04 am

bichon

I'll send you the link to your FFB page

11:07 am

mkg

seems it was a miss call by the pathologists at the hosp. so it was sent to harvard, chop in philly, NIH and sloan kettering in NY. so far harvard and sloan say not a malignancy. so not cancer. still a horrible tumor that has eaten into his vertabrae but if not cancer may be surgically removed and we dont need margins around it to worry about. so dont have to cut into the aorta perhaps. all very risky surgery anyway but if not cancer that is a huge load off of us.

11:08 am

Scrabbler

OK, I am reading the Caring Bridge site. I follow a few other kids there.

11:09 am

bichon

What is your email, Scrabs, better to send it there

11:09 am

mkg

ty scrabbler.

11:09 am

Scrabbler

Very good news. Next step = find best place for furture surgical and medical care. You've got CHOP, Boston CH, etc involved. Hopkins?

11:10 am

Scrabbler

Bichon--I got in. I have some kids with cancer that I follow on Caring Bridge.

11:10 am

kje

just read the site, mkg - that is encouraging!

11:11 am

bichon

No, was talking about WSJ article

11:12 am

kje

easy to get in, just create a password

11:14 am

OK, Bichon. I have the WSJ article now.

11:16 am

kje

must run and get more work done - bbl

11:16 am

Scrabbler

I read another article there--"Why Doctors Die Differently"--fascinating, and consistent with what me and my colleagues wish for.

11:18 am

crosshair

a doctor should a a patient for at least once a week every year.too many up here distance themselves to the point where we are nothing but breathing bits of meat to get in and out as fast as possible to clear a bead for the 20 or so that have been on gurneys in the halls for 3 days:(..our med system works,but it is far from perfect of late;(

11:18 am

crosshair

11:20 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Crossy, so I had 5 abdominal operations from '90-'03 just to be a patient. It sucks to be a patient. But I was already a very caring person.

11:21 am

crosshair

i am sure you are scrabby.was not meant as an attack but i have seen 3 or 4 very cold and distant medical professionals this week,so i am a tad grumpy..sorry

11:23 am

MollyL

William Hurt was in a movie called "The Doctor" that addressed that very subject. How doctors need to learn what it's like to be a patient.

11:23 am

Scrabbler

I dislike many docs because of their arrogance and lack of caring. So I totally understand your point, Crossy. SOme of my colleagues in the medical world absolutely embarrass me.

11:23 am

uusue2

hi again all!

11:23 am

flosey

unfortunately, the few make it harder on the many who sincerely care, crossy and darn, sorry you saw them all and in one week!

Hi Sue. I was sorry to read your news this morning. Hope that is all working out for the best.

11:24 am

crosshair

i do understand then as a doctor,you cannot bleed for everyone,you would go insane

11:25 am

uusue2

haven't talked to him yet, molly (he didn't come to class this morning) so I don't know yet. Thanks for your caring thoughts - they really mean a lot to me.

11:26 am

Scrabbler

A problem with Leo?

11:30 am

bichon

Scrabs, I read that article too. Didn't give too much hope that if I had cancer, my doctor wouldn't truly believe in what he was prescribing

11:31 am

MollyL

Caring thoughts always on your way Sue.

11:31 am

uusue2

I think he is seeing the crazy girlfriend again, scrabs

11:31 am

crosshair

i must say every doctor and tech i met at princess margerettes in toronto,were kind caring and do superior work:)

11:32 am

crosshair

uh oh sue,my hope and prayers to you and your son

11:32 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Leo! *slapping Leo upside the head*

11:33 am

crosshair

but eveyone in the oncology field,seemsto me at least to be the cream of the crop

11:33 am

uusue2

yeah, exactly. Sigh. He has certainly been talking to her, lots of screaming and crying in the wee hours, which he denied this morning. Gaaaaahhhh.

11:34 am

crosshair

lord help him.poison women can cause great havock

11:35 am

Scrabbler

He needs to review what she did to him last summer. And tell him to respect himself enough to walk away from her.

11:35 am

11:40 am

I agree, scrabs - but I don't think I can make him do it and he doesn't seem to want to get help

11:40 am

jmcnrick

i am out of coffee and too lazy to go to store to by it for just one day

11:41 am

MollyL

Sue, what kind of consequences are you willing to give him for this and his less than stellar school performance?

11:41 am

jmcnrick

you really cannot make him uu no matter how hard--but he is a smart kid and will eventually figure it out for himself hopefully without too much damage

11:42 am

cybernan

if you can have aa 5, why not ra 5?

11:42 am

jmcnrick

consequences for school are always appropriate imho

11:43 am

Scrabbler

Hey je

11:43 am

jmcnrick

hi scrabs

11:43 am

cybernan

off to meet a friend for shopping - bbl

11:43 am

jmcnrick

bye cyber have fun

11:45 am

uusue2

molly, I've told him he can't drive the car (he had an accident about 3 weeks ago) and that we will not drive him to the train - he says he's been visiting a friend we've never met but I think he's visiting her. He's already on probation; if he doesn't get his GPA up he will be academically dismissed and will have to find a job.

11:46 am

uusue2

I also told him that, while I am paying his lawyer's final bill, any future legal fees due to his relationship with her are going to be his responsibility.

11:47 am

uusue2

I feel mean :-(

11:47 am

crosshair

sounds fair

11:47 am

Scrabbler

Good for you--making him accountable.

11:47 am

flosey

sue, do not feel mean, actually you are doing what is right and good for him

11:47 am

Scrabbler

You are not mean. You are introducing him to adulthood: choices, consequences, responsibility + accountability.

11:47 am

jmcnrick

sounds like a plan uu

11:47 am

crosshair

you are not mean.he must be his own person.he cannont rely on mommy to bail him out forever.he must learn consquences

11:48 am

uusue2

I do wish he would get help, though - he's too smart, and thinks he can figure it all out on his own

11:49 am

jmcnrick

you would be meaner doing anything different uu

11:49 am

MollyL

You are NOT mean Sue. He is a grown man and it's time for him to take responsibility for his actions.

11:50 am

jmcnrick

you could get him a book that might help--babbleland should be able to come up with the right one

11:50 am

jmcnrick

smart people won't get help but they will read!

11:50 am

bichon

I agree. Kids never seem to mature these days.

11:51 am

Haz1558

How about 'Red Alert' by I C Trouble?

11:51 am

jmcnrick

is that a real book haz?

11:51 am

uusue2

I'll try that, jmc, if people can email me their ideas (most of you have me as a friend on facebook; if you read down far enough in my profile you can find my contact information). But now I must go to class. See you all later!

11:51 am

Haz1558

No, but it should be.

11:51 am

crosshair

blech! i shall return.must go and pay car and house insurance:((

11:51 am

jmcnrick

my son finally got his act together at about 25

11:51 am

MollyL

If he doesn't think he needs help, I doubt he will read a book.

11:51 am

jmcnrick

it sounded great haz

11:52 am

jmcnrick

bye crossy

11:52 am

jmcnrick

you never know molls i thought my son was not reading the books i would give him but he actually did

Do you think Scotland will vote for independence?

stats for the 4 row second column A please

11:58 am

MollyL

There comes a time, when...no matter how much we love our adult children, we have to let them face their own consequences. No matter how smart, sensitive or whatever they are. It's the only way they learn. As long as someone keeps bailing them out, they will keep on as they have been.

11:58 am

Haz1558

I honestly don't know.

11:58 am

Haz1558

It'll come down to economics.

12:03 pm

Dorens

exactly, scrabbs. how was the x-country skiing yesterday?

12:03 pm

Haz1558

It's amazing, though, how the same poem can be interpreted differently.

12:03 pm

jmcnrick

back in the day when i did speech competitions we got to pick our own poems

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Some of the classes are own choice, but the ones today were for school classes.

12:05 pm

jmcnrick

well i am glad there is enough difference you are not banging your head on the desk!

12:05 pm

Wonderful! We did 5 miles then played 2 games of Scrabble in the warming hut, and sat next to the woodstove.

12:08 pm

Scrabbler

Life is short and could end at any moment, so enjoy every moment. Yep, an trip to Italy must happen in the next few yrs. In June we might do a 6 day hiking trip of Yosemite and Sequoia NPs.

12:08 pm

Scrabbler

5:20 pm

uusue2

didn't see a partial eclipse but I did see a lovely crescent moon with Venus and Jupiter

5:21 pm

crosshair

thats the one:)

5:21 pm

uusue2

and I had a long talk with the kid, he is in fact back with crazy girl, claims he can handle it. I give up.

5:21 pm

crosshair

uh oh

5:22 pm

uusue2

he's been lying to me the past six weeks. I am not happy.

5:22 pm

welki

hi folks

5:23 pm

crosshair

howdy welki

5:23 pm

uusue2

hi welki!

5:23 pm

welki

does your son still live with you, sue?

5:23 pm

doseffing

... all you can do is step back ... ... you can't save those who don't want to be saved ... ... just be close at hand to help ... if you can ... but don't get dragged under yourself

5:24 pm

uusue2

he does, welki

5:25 pm

welki

i'm with dos - and the old adage, your house, your rules.

5:25 pm

lilliann

hi welki

5:26 pm

MollyL

I agree with your house, your rules. Especially since this girl has caused damage to your house.

5:26 pm

crosshair

thats what i tell my son,my roof,my rules,no wars with toxic gf,s under my roof

5:27 pm

uusue2

*sigh* I did lay down some rules but we shall see - he claims they have it all patched up. I don't think so.

5:27 pm

MollyL

Patched up??? Wow.

5:28 pm

crosshair

your home at this stage of your life should be your serenity escape from the cares of the world and work

5:28 pm

uusue2

well, it won't be my home much longer anyway due to the bankruptcy; once we move things will change, I think

5:29 pm

MollyL

I agree with Cross about your home being your safe haven. I love my kids, but if they decided to do something like this, they wouldn't be living with me anymore.

5:29 pm

crosshair

:(( i am sorry about your difficulties suze.home you reach smoother waters soon

5:29 pm

crosshair

hope

5:29 pm

MollyL

Why will things change once you move?

5:29 pm

uusue2

because we will be in a different place, and he is talking about living on his own

5:30 pm

uusue2

also it will be after the end of the semester; if he flunks out he will be on his own anyway

5:30 pm

MollyL

Ah, I think that will be good for both of you.

5:30 pm

uusue2

me too although I will have to figure out the $$$

5:31 pm

crosshair

indeed sue,another rule here is you can live here as long as you are still in school.if you stop school,you go to work

5:31 pm

lilliann

sorry sue, don't know anything about your crazy son's girlfriend! it is really difficult as you don't want to alienate your son, but maybe he should live on his own and then put up with her and then see what its like

5:32 pm

uusue2

absolutely, crossy - I don't want him to work more than part time while he's in school, engineering is a tough program and he needs to have the time to dedicate to it, but if he flunks out he's on his own

5:32 pm

lilliann

sorry, meant son's crazy girl friend!

5:32 pm

uusue2

although I suppose I'd let him stay before throwing him out on the street :-(

5:33 pm

crosshair

carefull with that sue,a body at rest tends to stay and rest and drink all your booze lol

5:33 pm

crosshair

and lounge on the couch all day..

5:33 pm

crosshair

and eat everything in your fridge...

5:33 pm

crosshair

and moan that you bought no name soda..lol

5:34 pm

welki

hard to do the tough love thing. guilt is so powerful.

5:34 pm

uusue2

indeed

5:35 pm

welki

he doesn't have to live Ã³n his own, you know - he could always find himself a place that needs a room-mate

5:35 pm

MollyL

Sue, you are a good mother and you have been there every step of the way for your son. You paid for his legal issues with this girl before (now he's back with her) you have paid for his college (which he is flunking out of) and you have let him drive your car (which he wrecked). It's time for him to be a big boy now.

5:36 pm

lilliann

how old are your bairns molly(sorry, children)?

5:36 pm

welki

hard decisions ahead of you, sue - i know you''ve already considered most, if not all, of what we've suggested

5:36 pm

uusue2

I keep hoping he will pull himself together...

5:36 pm

MollyL

32. 30 and 20 Lill.

5:37 pm

welki

perhaps you're just not ready to say no yet - i know it took me a long time to do that with family members - but eventually, it'll come to a head and you will ... or you won't, and this will be ongoing

5:38 pm

lilliann

and do they have their own lives away from you molly

5:38 pm

uusue2

or maybe he will get his act together - he started out the semester pretty well, actually

5:38 pm

welki

he'll get his act together (or not) regardless of how you support him - that's up to him, not you

5:38 pm

MollyL

I still have my 20-year-old with my Lill, why?

5:39 pm

MollyL

*with me

5:39 pm

welki

sue, he's 20?

5:39 pm

uusue2

well, I told him I would put him through undergraduate school - my parents did that for me so I am paying it forward with him -

5:39 pm

uusue2

he's 22, welki

5:40 pm

lilliann

because i could do with advise from people who have had girls ! mine nearly 13 going on 18!!

5:40 pm

MollyL

Sorry Lill, all boys for me.

5:40 pm

lilliann

i only have 1.

5:40 pm

welki

hehehe - things change, sue. it's obvious to us that you can't afford to foot the bill for his entire education. surely he sees at least what we see - what's he going to do if (when) the well runs dry?

5:40 pm

uusue2

he's my only, lilli

5:40 pm

lilliann

i wasn't going to have a go at you molly! :)

5:41 pm

welki

we have five girls, lillian - 25 - 31 and a boy, 29

5:41 pm

uusue2

actually I can foot the bill, welki, he gets half tuition since I teach here and after the bankruptcy I will have fewer payments - it 's not a stretch

5:41 pm

welki

best advice regarding girls is ... close your door.

5:42 pm

lilliann

i was about to pull my hair out but welki came along!! :)lol

5:42 pm

MollyL

So wait, if he flunks this semester, you are still going to keep paying for school?

5:42 pm

welki

i'm no expert, lillian, but they all turned out okay :)

5:43 pm

uusue2

no, if he flunks out, he's out. Then he'll have to figure out what he's going to do with his life.

5:43 pm

lilliann

mine is so mouthy at the moment!!

5:43 pm

uusue2

But if he passes I'll keep going.

5:43 pm

welki

i was a strict parent, lillian - didn't much believe in being friends with my kids when they were young. mouthing off got them into BIG trouble

5:44 pm

MollyL

Sue, I'm guessing that part of why he's struggling with school is getting back together with Psycho Girl.

5:44 pm

uusue2

that's a big part of it, molly!

5:44 pm

crosshair

my boy is 18 and just grunts at me unless it is about money,the car or internet privilages,then he becomes my best friend

5:45 pm

crosshair

but he is doing well in school,doing co-op courses,so i will go with the flow for now

5:45 pm

lilliann

i'm the same welki, i ground her, give her extra jobs to do but i still get sworn at or the moputh goes on"!!

5:45 pm

uusue2

good thing they are not born as teenagers - they wouldn't live a week!

5:45 pm

welki

all the kids had to earn their privileges, lilliann - very little was given to them for doing nothing and, even though i understand that they all make mistakes, things/privileges were taken away from them if they couldn't act civilly or do what was expected of them

5:46 pm

lilliann

when her dad is abour, she doesn't dare do any of it!!

5:46 pm

welki

then maybe you need to take more away from her - i wouldn't worry about adding more to her chores - things get pretty dicey for the kids when they're sitting in an empty room all by themselves with NOTHING to do

5:46 pm

crosshair

not allowed to back hand the kids for getting mouthy anymore..35 years on and now i understand my father a little better lol.actually i am surprised he let me live to adulthood;)

5:47 pm

welki

or - maybe on the flip side, you need to explain why her behaviour is unacceptable to you, do the 'nurturing' thing

5:47 pm

MollyL

I'm sorry you're going through this Sue. I don't understand people who continually return to toxic relationships. It's too bad he won't go for some couseling.

5:48 pm

welki

molls, he's 22 - he knows everything and ""i don't need your help"" -- until he's going tits up and then needs mom to bail him out

5:48 pm

MollyL

Or counseling.

5:48 pm

lilliann

i've done every thing you've said welki. but the problem is she is too much like me!!

5:49 pm

welki

then, if she's mirroring you, you might need to change a little, too :)

5:49 pm

uusue2

counseling would be good. If he shows up at my office in dire straits again I am walking him over there (should have done it last fall but I was in dire straits myself)

5:50 pm

MollyL

Ah Welki, you just reminded me of my husband. "Tits up" was a constant expression of his. : )

5:50 pm

welki

:)

5:51 pm

welki

anyway, i need to start making supper - we need a resident psychologist here! all this armchair quarter-backing - don't know if it helps or harms

5:52 pm

MollyL

Sue, just stick to your guns in terms of the consequences you have given him. At the very least, he should be paying you back for the last round of legal fees.

5:52 pm

uusue2

good to have friends to talk to!

5:52 pm

uusue2

at the moment he is paying for the car, molly, I haven't asked him for the legal fees (although I have told him if he gets in any more trouble he will be on his own)

5:53 pm

lilliann

welki, i'm now 43 and will never change who i am. what i said is she is like me in some ways, and i don't want to change her or me. we are who we are!

5:55 pm

MollyL

Well Sue, other than give him the "are you out of your effing mind" lecture (which I'm sure you have already done) you can only hope for the best. I will too.

5:56 pm

uusue2

thanks, molly!

5:56 pm

lilliann

but i wish i could change her behaviour!! my mam and dad thought i was bad, but i never drank or did drugs and i had a good life and never broke the law!!

5:59 pm

MollyL

Dear Lord Lilliann, she's drinking and doing drugs at 13?

5:59 pm

welki

not saying to change either one of you, lil, just the behaviour. hard times when you have teenaged girls. they're brutal.

6:00 pm

welki

(peeling, chopping and lurking)

MollyL

lilliann

bye nan, tc and thanks for the help :)

7:58 pm

Jacula

Lilli - did your chap do double de-clutching in his sleep, making the bed rock like a ship in a storm? Mine does and earplugs don't stop that disturbing you! The best sleep I got was when I used to go on the road with him. Sadly, health & safety, insurance etc., doesn't allow that now.

7:58 pm

Jacula

'Bye Nan.

7:59 pm

lilliann

8:04 pm

Jacula

Hi Crossy! Yes, I do know that and I do try to stop him upping his cholesterol levels.

8:05 pm

As far as I know, sleep apnea is treated either with surgery or a CPAP machine.

weight is often an issue

8:06 pm

lilliann

wtg cos!!

8:06 pm

Jacula

I also got him to go to the dentist for gum guards. They were Â£80 a pair but only the bottom set could be fitted, since his top teeth were apparently 'too crooked' to fit one to. However, he still got charged Â£80 for just the one, which, as the dentist predicted, he bit through in two weeks.

8:07 pm

MollyL

I have a bite guard and you can't bite through it. It's made of hard plastic.

8:07 pm

Jacula

Bloody robdog! (The dentist.)

8:08 pm

Jacula

Molly - the ones here are soft rubber.

8:08 pm

rururocks

I would think a muzzle would work better molly?

8:08 pm

rururocks

:D

8:08 pm

MollyL

My dentist says the soft ones do no good. They don't deflect the bite pressure like the hard ones do.

8:08 pm

Jacula

I got him a hard plastic one, but he hasn't bothered to 'wear it in' yet.

8:09 pm

lilliann

thanks cos

8:09 pm

MollyL

Thank you Ru, duly noted. : (

8:09 pm

MollyL

The hard plastic ones have to be fitted to your teeth.

8:10 pm

lilliann

do i get the bite guards from the dentist jac?

8:10 pm

rururocks

I have the hard plastic ones.. but they are uncomfortable to wear most of the time. I put mine in when I'm really stressed

8:10 pm

lilliann

sorry, just read back and yes

8:11 pm

lilliann

Â£80, can we not get them on the nhs?

8:13 pm

Jacula

Crossy - weight is probably an issue for both me and my Beloved right now. However, weight has nothing to to with my ownsnoring problem. Mum tells me I snored since I was born. I've also always snoared whether light or heavy. I have a silly little nose, and I think that's wherein the problem lies, in my case. Beloved snoring is another matter. I have to say, being in my 50s and not uneducated about 'men', that not many men, big or small, sleep without snoring.

8:13 pm

lilliann

it'dsgetting to the point when i want to knock him out with a bat so i can sleep and he moans that he is cold because i have to have a fan on all night because of early menopause, but he covers his head with the duvet anyway!!

8:13 pm

Jacula

Lili - Â£80 WAS the NHS price!

8:14 pm

lilliann

really??

8:14 pm

rururocks

I don't snore

8:14 pm

rururocks

mrs. ru does.

8:14 pm

lilliann

8:14 pm

lilliann

well, you wouldn't know ruru as you're asleep :)

8:15 pm

I snore when I sleep on my back... I'm skinny, but there you have it.

8:15 pm

Jacula

Lili - no, no adenoid op. I just have a tiny nose.

8:15 pm

lilliann

8:15 pm

Jacula

jmc - LOL

8:16 pm

8:16 pm

lilliann

hi seas and mab

8:17 pm

Jacula

mab - I don't know if I snore when I sleep on my back but I do know that I have bad dreams when I do. Strange, isn't it?

8:18 pm

jmcnrick

Lil really means that her hubby farts. 'Pumps' is just a polite way of putting it. But, these days, it could be taken in an entirely different way, making us think that she's about to give us a porno post.

8:25 pm

Jacula

I'm sure as I can be that some unseen hand should separate couples after they go to sleep together and then magic them back into the same bed together when they awake. That way, both would get a good night's sleep!

9:37 pm

FranMag

9:37 pm

cosdem

health care in america is something to be ashamed of.

9:37 pm

FranMag

phantom word: calories

9:38 pm

mab

the reimbursement rate problem is significant, but to cancel an appointment...

9:38 pm

kje

I wish all calories were phantom

9:38 pm

kje

the reimbursement for primary care is a problem

9:38 pm

DR1965

9:45 pm

9:46 pm

FranMag

hi pam!!

9:46 pm

rbud

that's right, voila!

9:46 pm

FranMag

oh good, confirmation. :-)

9:46 pm

FranMag

3 babblers can't be wrong, k. :-)

9:47 pm

kje

I think ouila may be ouch

9:47 pm

rbud

well, really there's some little accent over one of the letters, Ithink, but...

9:48 pm

kje

thanks! that makes more sense

9:48 pm

pam

voilÃ

9:48 pm

kje

oh wow, rbud has a moving icon!

9:48 pm

pam

But I figured why be that technical. :)

9:48 pm

kje

there ya go pam! ty

9:49 pm

kje

because you are pam?

9:49 pm

FranMag

i know! has scrabs seen it? i think she'd like it.

9:49 pm

FranMag

nice, pam, i don't know how to put those little thingamabobbers.

9:49 pm

kje

scrab would steal it

9:49 pm

rbud

yay, that's it, I just figured if I tried to put in the accented letter, it would look like weird Russian or something, like things do in people's profiles sometimes.

9:49 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for or6-21? Thanks

9:50 pm

FranMag

that's one of the ones i'm missing too, peach. let me look

9:50 pm

rbud

Oh, Scrabs is very welcome to use it if she likes, I know how she likes bunnies. :)

9:50 pm

gapeach

Oh, rbud, I love your bunny!

9:51 pm

kje

oooo, that gave me 3 or's

9:51 pm

kje

none are 6/21 though

9:51 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Fran, It has been hiding from me for a while.

9:53 pm

rbud

Thanks! A couple of years ago I made a big effort to find 32 x 32 moving icons because they work here, but some told me it was distracting, so I stopped. Have quite a few on file.

9:54 pm

DR1965

I like it- not distracting at all

9:54 pm

FranMag

what word is right before it peach?

9:55 pm

DR1965

help with the re6/24 before the water plants?

9:55 pm

kje

re- sound-ound-ound

9:55 pm

DR1965

ty KJE!

9:55 pm

FranMag

thanks, kje! awesome clue

9:56 pm

kje

yw

9:56 pm

pam

It isn't so much distracting as "there." If i had a headache, I'd block chog. But that's me, and I would never want something so cute to be "banned" for me!

9:56 pm

kje

oh no, we can't ban cuteness!

9:56 pm

rbud

well, it's one of the more "subdued" ones, lol! :)

9:57 pm

FranMag

finally cleared the bottom E! 68 to go!

9:57 pm

FranMag

still looking for that or6/21, peach!

9:57 pm

pam

I don't do well with blinking/flashing things. But, again, that's strictly me....

9:58 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Fran, I can't find it.....

9:58 pm

FranMag

do you have the list, peach? what word is right before it?

9:59 pm

kje

yes, I can see for migraines, or seizure disorder, it might not be ideal

9:59 pm

FranMag

the bunny has just enough movement to be cute without being seizure-inducing. lol

10:00 pm

gapeach

Fran, I think it is the whale.

10:00 pm

FranMag

okay, that's what i was afraid of...i hate Cs!

10:06 pm

gapeach

That is OK, thanks for looking.

10:06 pm

rbud

or 6/21 - or + most common vowel plus the 15th of March, singular

10:06 pm

Thanks, rbud!

10:06 pm
