1:21 am

grannyrose

1:21 am

sammysmom

1:22 am

dcseain

i pluck my ears and eyebrows, and wayward hairs on my face.

1:22 am

westford

oh rose..ouch ouch ouch

1:22 am

grannyrose

rbud, that would be he8, someone who dies without anyone to leave their estate to

1:22 am

rururocks

eyebrows?

1:23 am

dcseain

yes, i'd have monobrow if i didn't pluck, and i get odd hairs there that grow other than the rest, so they go.

1:23 am

rbud

oh, I thought I saw it as hi, not he, thanks, have that... so what am I missing, hmmm....

1:23 am

bekki

my hair keeps getting thinner and thinner I hate it my hair use to be so thick

1:23 am

westford

do you have sproingers seain?

1:23 am

grannyrose

oh, himself cuts his eyebrows, too, one grows with an upward curl, the other with a downward curl...very uncomfortable behind a helmet visor

1:24 am

dcseain

what's that, west?

1:24 am

rururocks

is that like a brazilian on your forehead DC?

1:24 am

westford

what rose just said

1:24 am

westford

wayward eyebrow hairs

1:25 am

dcseain

what is a sproinger?

1:25 am

rbud

whatever you do, never pull your white hairs, I found that out, lol - they grow back and stick up all over like a halo! :P

1:25 am

grannyrose

rofl, ruru, the mind pictures are killing me...dcs with a brazilian on his head!!!!!

1:25 am

rururocks

sproinger for me is tight pants

1:25 am

westford

I imagine them making that sound as they grow

1:25 am

dcseain

i'm largely slavic by blood, and get ingrown hairs on my face. now that my beard is white,i need to feel for them, as i cannot always see them.

1:26 am

dcseain

aha, west! Yes, sproinger would be a good word for the wayward eyebrow hairs. LOL

1:26 am

rururocks

or the wayward govenor..:D

1:27 am

grannyrose

ruru, would that brazilian be with or without the hat decorated with fruit?

1:28 am

rururocks

no.. granny a narrow strip of fur.

1:28 am

grannyrose

LOL

1:29 am

rururocks

wonders if DC drags his knuckles on occasion..

1:29 am

rbud

I wonder how I got this old without ever hearing about "threading" your eyebrows - just saw a video about it a month or so ago - look on youtube if you want to know, pretty neat.

1:29 am

grannyrose

so, a russian brazilian, th4?

1:29 am

westford

looks too painful rbud

1:30 am

westford

waxing is better

1:30 am

dcseain

1:30 am

dcseain

1:31 am

1:31 am

westford

but it is no more

1:32 am

grannyrose

1:32 am

grannyrose

so, dcs hasn't walked for a few years, drags his knuckles when he does, and wears brazilians on his forehead. did i leave anything out?

1:32 am

rururocks

1:33 am

westford

I'd guess the classic half

1:33 am

rururocks

1:34 am

grannyrose

1:37 am

dcseain

not yet, west. I do have my great-grandparents wedding certificate from 1896 in Bratislava -- i do hope to visit the church they were married in, and maybe acquire birth certificates. Descendents of my Czech great-grandfather still live in and around Prague -- maybe could meet a few.

2:05 am

hootowl

Mine went out and bought himself a laptop!

2:05 am

westford

he was looking up something for me

2:06 am

rbud

mine won't even come back here to my cave, let alone touch my puter! I like that about him, lol

2:06 am

hootowl

And this required throwing out stuff that was there?

2:06 am

westford

rbud you have a woman cave? I want one

2:07 am

westford

that's what I hate about all the new technology..perfectly good stuff is now obsolete

2:07 am

hootowl

I should aplogise. I go to Yahoo and read the posts on some of the "srories" and it gets me seriously wondering what this world is coming too!

2:07 am

rbud

it's really a giant closet, the washer, dryer, and sewing machine are all in here with me... perfect.

2:07 am

hootowl

stories

2:08 am

hootowl

I should go to bed!

2:08 am

westford

sounds perfect rbud..just add a coffee pot

2:09 am

rbud

the kitchen is only a room away, works out well. :)

2:09 am

hootowl

My ex would either be complaining about the noise of the keyboard which would be 2 roomsa away. Or insisting I come to bed because HE has to get up in the moring!

2:10 am

rbud

good he's an ex, then?

2:10 am

hootowl

WAAAAAAYYYY Good!

2:11 am

hootowl

And we both worked for Grumman at the time And I had to get to work too, but not until I found all the underwear of his that I hid in his dresser!

2:12 am

hootowl

He was a true SOB and our son will have nothing to do with him either!

2:12 am

westford

they look but they don't see

2:12 am

rbud

amazing how guys can't find things when they're right where they ought to be, I think.

2:12 am

hootowl

I don't even think he knows he's a grandfater

2:13 am

rbud

his loss!

2:13 am

hootowl

But no one ever taught then to move something in front to find something behind it.

2:14 am

rbud

I still have to insist that our kids actually lift things and look under them when they can't find stuff, and they're in their 20's!

2:14 am

hootowl

I gave him a surprise birthday party once. Did all the cooking and put the food in the fridge in the back! Roasts, spreads all kinds of stuff.

2:14 am

rbud

but no, it's "mom, have you seen my this or that" all the time still.

2:14 am

hootowl

He never saw any of it

2:15 am

rbud

hahaha, quite the unobservant fellow

2:15 am

hootowl

I don't think they outgrow it rbud - have to smack it out of them!

2:16 am

hootowl

I just divorced him!

2:16 am

Kazzer99

2:20 am

rubyfoo

d*

2:21 am

westford

I missed your birthday..hope it was happy !!

2:21 am

rubyfoo

hope to see you later - things are crazy around here - endless rain, unfinished hedge and the water is shut off for the whole morning!

2:21 am

rubyfoo

it was OK but too hectic!

2:21 am

rubyfoo

but today is the celebratory (fancy) lunch

2:22 am

rubyfoo

thank God for Xanax, is all I can say!

2:22 am

westford

endless rain and no water..sounds about right

2:22 am

westford

why did they have to shut off the water?

2:22 am

rubyfoo

they're doing work on the street -- great timing

2:23 am

westford

are you going to a nice romantic restaurant?

2:23 am

babblelady2012

i'm still here just into words

2:23 am

westford

please tell me you're not cooking your own birthday luncheon

2:23 am

rubyfoo

just fancy and good food. Romance is out of the question as DIL is here to "share" LOL

2:24 am

westford

that's right I knew she was due

2:24 am

rubyfoo

actually I did because his daughter waited at the wrong station and I stood out in the cold for 2 hours on my birthday morning!

2:24 am

westford

oh for goodness sake

2:24 am

rubyfoo

so, once we were all in the same place, I cooked lunch and she and I got drunk

2:25 am

rubyfoo

the weather is horrible

2:25 am

westford

sounds like a good plan.. the drinking part

2:25 am

rubyfoo

the good news is that the house is full of flowers; even our local Italian brought me a big bouquet yesterday which reduced me to tears!

2:26 am

rbud

awww, how nice, love flowers!

2:26 am

westford

you're well loved ruby

2:26 am

westford

cold and crummy here too after a glorious weekend

2:26 am

rubyfoo

it was at the end of the meal and I was truly touch. I don't think restos do that much

2:26 am

rubyfoo

touched*

2:27 am

westford

this is normal for mid April but I'd rather have warm

2:27 am

rubyfoo

it was warmer in Feb and dry

2:27 am

westford

did DIL bring any favorite foods?

2:28 am

rubyfoo

I had her bring Italian sausage, the uncooked kind, which I can't get here

2:28 am

rbud

I'm just hoping our annual party doesn't get rained on, it does about 4 out of 5 years. Mid May is iffy at best.

2:28 am

rubyfoo

in Binghamton, they always said you couldn't plant before Memorial day, because there was frequent frost in May!

2:29 am

rubyfoo

what is the annual party -- family?

2:29 am

rbud

Anniversary and hubby's birthday - the ear we actually tied the knot was sunny and gorgeous, but drizzly most years after.

2:30 am

rbud

*year

2:30 am

rubyfoo

I hope that this one will be sunny and lovely!!!

2:30 am

rbud

Lots of friends we don't see much of the rest of the year, some family.

2:30 am

westford

we'll put the order in right now

2:31 am

rbud

thanks! :) the parties have gotten considerably smaller over the years, used to have a band, 350 people, 11 beer kegs - now only one or two kegs and 40 to 80 people, with the stereo turned up. We're getting old, lol

2:32 am

westford

sounds like so much fun !!

2:32 am

rubyfoo

sounds like my tulips -- fewer and fewer every year! lol

2:32 am

rubyfoo

but the friends who stick are the real friends

2:33 am

rbud

we suggest they camp here, too, so there's usually a crowd for breakfast the next morning.

2:33 am

rbud

which is fun in itself

2:33 am

westford

I wish I could stay and chat rbud and ruby..but the granddaughters are spending the night and I just know they'll be up in a few hours

2:33 am

rubyfoo

with bloody mary's, I hope (or champagne for the fancies)

2:34 am

rbud

mimosas, etc, yup! :)

2:34 am

westford

so I bid you adieu and *poof*

2:34 am

rbud

you'd better power sleep, west, good night to you, and have fun with the grands!

2:34 am

rubyfoo

2:36 am

rbud

drat the C, still need 7 of them on the lower one. just not seeing them.

2:37 am

rbud

and the S next to it, too, for that matter. Not finding them.

2:38 am

rbud

all other letter at a respectable level but those two.

2:39 am

rbud

ruh roh, doggie needs to go out... brb

2:40 am

rubyfoo

what would we do without our pups?

2:43 am

rbud

she's a fast one, at least, lol! out and back, whoosh!

2:44 am

rubyfoo

doesn't make a big production? our males go in circles

2:44 am

rbud

not much fun for her after dark any more, I don't think, with her eyes going bad.

2:44 am

rbud

poor old girl.

2:45 am

rubyfoo

for his last walk at night, I take puppy out and show him the way with a flashlight which is a hoot, because sometimes he finds toys

2:45 am

rbud

she's on water pills, too, so goes often though very little at a time.

2:46 am

rubyfoo

our old girl doesn't go out very much, prefers her 0ne-hour massages

2:46 am

rubyfoo

and is eating less

2:46 am

rubyfoo

she remains the "dog of my heart"

2:46 am

rbud

glad he's so much fun for you. nothing like a puppy.

2:47 am

rubyfoo

it is lucky that I found him

2:47 am

rubyfoo

celes

2:47 am

rbud

seeing the world through new young eyes, always fun to watch.

2:47 am

rubyfoo

whoops

2:47 am

rubyfoo

sorry

2:47 am

rubyfoo

everything is either a toy or an adventure for him

2:48 am

rbud

oh, I don't care, never have worried over typing in the wrong box. :)

2:48 am

rubyfoo

but don't tell the hall monitors!

2:49 am

rbud

I keep putting new straw in our youngest dog's house for bedding, others say why, it's not winter now, but the floor's so hard! Can't give him a pillow bed like the other (older) dog out there, because he says "whee" and shreds it up!! the older boy relishes his pillow bed.

2:50 am

rbud

funny how they're so different.

2:51 am

rubyfoo

we've had 6 chows over the years and this new one is the most inquisitive, destructive and affectionate -- also the smartest and even does tricks (which he teaches me)

2:51 am

rbud

(heehee, hall monitors, lol!)

2:55 am

rubyfoo

I had better go and play wife/hostess\see you later

2:56 am

rubyfoo

still no half, nbt OR nbs! :(

2:56 am

rbud

well, what do you need? happy to help, I have all that. :)

2:57 am

rubyfoo

patience, fortitude, ability to turn the other cheek....

2:57 am

rbud

but if you must go... I hear ya. ((hugs))

2:57 am

rubyfoo

and someone to yell at the hedge guy (in French, of course)

2:57 am

rbud

heehee, no help there! :P

2:58 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure you are better-natured!

2:58 am

rbud

welllll.... I have my grunpy moments, believe me. >:(

2:59 am

rubyfoo

nah!

2:59 am

rbud

mostly with our son... and hubby when he's drunk... for all the good it does. :P

2:59 am

rubyfoo

those are the times to escape to babbleland -- that's what I do

3:00 am

rbud

last night son accidentally covered the kitchen floor with BBQ sauce, was all sticky this AM - bad cleanup job! I was NOT happy.

3:00 am

rubyfoo

I should send Rufie over; he'd have had it cleaned up in a flash! will eat anything, especially off the floor!

3:01 am

rbud

I just bet! how handy! :)

3:01 am

rubyfoo

as long as he doesn't get sick....

3:01 am

rubyfoo

now really must go. Fun chatting with you, rbud, as usual!!!

3:02 am

hello Babble friends

5:24 am

lynxxx

hi Sprite and anyone else around

5:24 am

sprite

hey lyn :) xxx
Can I share some shivers?

5:25 am

lynxxx

something scary? or is it just cold over there?

5:25 am

sprite

scary. My husband just called that he had been in a car accident. The car is totalled but he is ok. Only his shoulder is hurt. And he is very shaken, of course.

5:26 am

lynxxx

oh God!! I hope the shoulder IS only minor.

5:27 am

sprite

yes I thought the same thing. I have told him to give it attention and to drop by the doctor in case of any doubt.

5:27 am

lynxxx

so this happened on his way to work? is he coming home

5:27 am

Andree

hi everyone

5:27 am

sprite

hi Andree

5:27 am

lynxxx

Andree! how nice to see you

5:27 am

Andree

been a while

5:28 am

sprite

yes, on his way to work. There is this bend in the road that is kind of known for its accidents. He was going slow, but somebody on the other lane was not. That one lost control over his car and blundered into Rob's.
He is not yet coming home... they are looking for a replacement car. I offered to pick him up, but he says he is ok.

5:28 am

sprite

hey Andree :D

5:29 am

lynxxx

I'll say - how is everything up in your neck of the woods? everytime I see something on TV about that area I have thought of you

5:29 am

7:33 am

morning all how many words today and thanks

7:33 am

Anniebrook

168

7:33 am

uusue2

what happened?

7:34 am

hurshy

a freshman committed suicide yesterday.

7:34 am

Anniebrook

oh dear, what happened

7:34 am

uusue2

oh no :-(

7:34 am

Anniebrook

Oh my G-d, that is awful, tragic

7:37 am

JBV

oh, dear, I have a sick feeling in my stomach reading that hurshy - good morning everyone - just stopped in to see that terrible news

7:38 am

Anniebrook

Hello JBV, I have the same feeling...just took all the air out of me...just awful

7:38 am

uusue2

hi jbv!

7:39 am

Anniebrook

poor child

7:39 am

JBV

it's really really sad - you know we have been living with the aftermath of the RUtgers suicide here, terrible for all around

7:39 am

JBV

hi sue! semester over? retired yet?

7:40 am

uusue2

about three more weeks, jbv, retirement is effective July 1 although after mid-May there won't be much to do

7:41 am

JBV

great! classes are over next week, but yesterday was my last day in class, as I'm leaving for Italy on Sunday!!!

7:41 am

Anniebrook

have a great trip, jbv

7:42 am

JBV

thanks, Annie - I'm so excited I can hardly stand it - I'm so ready I could leave right now. bags are almost all packed!

7:42 am

Anniebrook

Sunday will be here soon :)

7:43 am

JBV

I will be seeing my aunt whom I haven't seen since 1973 - she is 93 this year - and all her children, my cousins, and their many many offspring!

7:43 am

JBV

traveling with my brother and his wife - bringing lots of tissues

7:44 am

Anniebrook

What a great family reunion.

7:45 am

JBV

I've been communicating regularly for about 2 years with one cousin and his family - but the others are still more or less strangers to me, yet there is an undefinable bond that is just pulling me to them

7:45 am

uusue2

that is going to be such a wonderful trip, jbv!!

7:45 am

Anniebrook

jbv, I thnk you better pack another box of tissues.

7:46 am

JBV

LOL, annie

7:47 am

JBV

just a little pressure on me, though, as my brother/SIL do not speak a word of Italian, so I will be translating the whole time

7:47 am

JBV

so I can't fall apart or nobody will be able to talk to each other :)

7:47 am

uusue2

you will be very fluent by the end of the trip!

7:49 am

MollyL

Happy and safe travels to you, JBV.

7:49 am

JBV

thanks, Molly!

7:50 am

MollyL

Hursh, sorry to read your sad news.

7:50 am

hurshy

well, i didn't know him, but, thanks. no man is an island and all that.

7:52 am

MollyL

What happens in a community affects it's members. It's that collective soul thing.

7:52 am

hurshy

yeah and reading the article about him, he seems like the last person to have done such a thing.

7:54 am

uusue2

sometimes after an event like that, the president of the university will send a letter out to alumni - haven't seen anything, though -

7:55 am

hurshy

well maybe they are waiting to find out more

7:57 am

uusue2

very sad...

8:02 am

...only two moons watching...

8:02 am

jmcnrick

??

8:03 am

grant

he was drunk I believe

8:04 am

hurshy

who was drunk?

8:04 am

jmcnrick

who grant? the kid at yale? richard cory?

8:04 am

grant

richard corey in the poem

8:05 am

jmcnrick

why do you think that?

8:07 am

grant

Have to look it up , but seem to recall... there were two moons illuminating his actions that night

8:07 am

jmcnrick

not in that poem you must be thinking of some other poem

8:07 am

grant

It's been a while for sure

8:08 am

car.eeyore

Good morning everyone!

8:08 am

jmcnrick

the point of that poem is how other's pain is not always apparent and while we see someone who has it all, they may not see it that way

8:08 am

jmcnrick

hi car.ee

8:11 am

jmcnrick

well i am getting no where with nbt on this grid so i guess i will go finish the presentation i have to give this afternoon

8:11 am

hurshy

it's not even so much that this kid "had it all" as that everyone described him as cheerful, fun loving, he was involved in so many different activities... i mean as someone with depression myself he sounds like he was the complete opposite of me.

8:12 am

jmcnrick

maybe bipolar. . .maybe a good actor. . .maybe involved in activities to keep from thinking. . .hard to know what goes on in other's hearts

8:13 am

hurshy

yes

8:13 am

jmcnrick

i have struggled with depression all my life and most people think i am a strong independent together woman

8:14 am

hurshy

well, you can be both

8:14 am

Anniebrook

when one is so young, with help and time (esp. time) whatever was troubling this young man it would have passed. So sas

8:14 am

Anniebrook

*sad

8:14 am

car.eeyore

{{hurhsy}} {[jmc}}

8:14 am

jmcnrick

exactly

8:14 am

hurshy

yeah that is the thing, 19, your brain is still doing all kinds of stuff, it's so... argh

8:15 am

Anniebrook

19....an emotional age

8:15 am

jmcnrick

yes annie i spent a lot of time on the GI Rights Hotline telling young men and women that suicide is a permanent solution to a permanent problem. . . and some listened to me

8:16 am

jmcnrick

well hugs to you hursh and safe travels jbv

8:16 am

jmcnrick

bye all

8:16 am

Anniebrook

temporary problem, did you mean

8:16 am

JBV

don't you mean a permanent solution to a temporary problem

8:16 am

JBV

thanks, jmc

8:16 am

jmcnrick

yes typonese strikes again!

8:17 am

Anniebrook

bye jmc, have an easy day

8:17 am

JBV

did you ever read The Floating OPera by John Barth -

8:17 am

hurshy

it's weird to think my cousin is about the same age and lost a leg in afghanistan but HE is happy and well

8:17 am

jmcnrick

but you my lovely friends always help me get it right

8:17 am

JBV

it's been a while, but I seem to remember it gets into themind of one of these hyper-intellectual kids that tries to rationalize suicide..

8:18 am

JBV

and he comes to the conclusion that since life is not worth living, nothing is worth doing, including killing yourself, so he just keeps on going.

8:18 am

JBV

it touched me when I was in college - the same type - superbrainy, had it all, ended his life with a gun, and hurshy you're right, there's no explaining how some people can just keep pushing on no matter what

8:20 am

wvteach

the suicide rate for bright gifted youth is higher than would be expected. there have been several studies and books written about this topic

8:21 am

jmcnrick

actually there are studies which are exploring that topic. . .i took a trauma healing class as part of this peace keeping degree since trauma often goes along with conflict

8:22 am

jmcnrick

they are looking at what make resilience (a term borrowed from physics i believe) and it is generally related to having survived smaller traumas before, strong relationships and forgiveness

8:23 am

JBV

all very important - but not all trauma involves forgiveness, unless you include self-forgiveness

8:27 am

jmcnrick

well you do need to forgive yourself. . . me i still get upset about the time in jr high when i went into the blys bathroom! haha

8:27 am

jmcnrick

and hi wv

8:27 am

this is shaping up to be a feisty grid;( seems to have a few teeth

9:00 am

car.eeyore

No kidding!

9:01 am

Trifioso

It doesnt have a lot of common endings, which is throwing me off

9:01 am

9:04 am

sprite

:D thanks!

9:05 am

Trifioso

But i am sitting in a glorious sunbeam, basking on the couch and babbling....not a bad place to be at all...

9:05 am

sprite

it is a surprising grid. Every time I am certain I found all words, and screw babble's claim that there are 168, I find another twisty one.

9:05 am

car.eeyore

Babble Land is a GREAT place to be!

9:05 am

Life is good, isn't it, Triffles :)

9:05 am

9:08 am

9:10 am

MollyL

We has some much needed rain yesterday. And I am not a big rain fan, but the ground was cracking it was so dry.

9:10 am

I just love him and how arrogant he is! It makes me ROFL!

9:11 am

MollyL

*Adds plans for an Agatha Christie section to my dream home library*

9:11 am

car.eeyore

This one is very good...a more "psychological" one...it is the one with the mentally abusive mother...reminds me of Jabba the Hutt.

9:11 am

sprite

oh yes! Especially when he goes on about how he knows he was arrogant, but now he is very humble... that even he, the great Poirot, can make a mistake once in a while...

9:11 am

Trifioso

Okay, i need to get up and move around....babble at you later

9:12 am

Rule #2: in the rare and unlikely event that sprite is wrong, rule #1 applies automatically.

It was kind of weird...
