3:05 am
lynxxx
hi MRP - some said mu6 but don't hold me to that
3:05 am
mrpresident
haha!! thank you!
3:05 am
lynxxx
cheep cheep
3:05 am
mrpresident
ok, will look into ridding the list of that
3:05 am
grannyrose
hey up mrp, bo, dachef, diz, lyn
3:06 am
mrpresident
hi rose, lynx, diz et al :)
3:07 am
grannyrose
good news....all clear supposedly on the CT....but i want a second opinion. something has to be causing this pain.
3:07 am
grannyrose
mrp, how you doing, hun. in my thoughts constantly.
3:08 am
mrpresident
good about the CT Rose, but bad you still have pain
3:08 am
lynxxx
wow a result already - even if you are comfortable with it. Us mere mortals usually have to wait a week
3:09 am
grannyrose
lol, lyn it pays to be persistent, and know what can be done!!!!
3:09 am
mrpresident
I am a bit miffed tonight. I got my blood results and my liver is not coping with the meds I am on.
3:10 am
lynxxx
so you go off them for a bit?
3:10 am
grannyrose
darn, mrp....does that mean th4 have to change them?
3:10 am
mrpresident
yes, and that will be interesting
3:10 am
mrpresident
i don't mind going off them, but it messes with my therapy
3:11 am
grannyrose
mrp, is th5 an alternative available?
3:12 am
mrpresident
not at this time rose. I have to have a scan on my liver and they will check to see if it is maybe gall stone too
3:12 am
grannyrose
hmmmm, that could be on the cards. do you have pain? or are you becoming a canary?
3:15 am
mrpresident
no pain or yellow. so i don't know what they expect
3:16 am
grannyrose
well that is not so nice....just the liver not procesing the meds, th4.
3:17 am
mrpresident
i will be happy to see the back of the meds actually! but not happy about how it will feel going cold turkey
3:19 am
grannyrose
stranger and stranger....please be strong, my dear. so are we talking the AB's or something else?
3:24 am
sprite
hello Babble friends. Bye lyn :) xxx
3:24 am
grannyrose
later lyn, if not see you at the flip
3:24 am
grannyrose
hey spritey
3:25 am
sprite
hi rose :) *hug* Scan done?
3:26 am
grannyrose
yup, and results are good.....but i want a second opinion...i mean, a mass one day, then just a small spot the next. can't figure that one out. off to see an urologist
3:27 am
sprite
very wise, I think. But wow, that is good news at least. Whatever it is, it can't be the worst thing of all, if it changes size that fast.
3:28 am
mrpresident
sorry, internet dropped out.
AB's are stopped too rose.
3:28 am
grannyrose
that's what i think, too. one son said perhaps it was something which drained when i had the second lot of bad pain....
3:28 am
rubyfoo
goody, a big one.
3:28 am
rubyfoo
Good morning if anybody is here
3:28 am
rubyfoo
{{sprite}}
3:28 am
grannyrose
yeah, ruby, hello my dear
3:28 am
rubyfoo
reading back in the chog now.....
3:29 am
sprite
sounds like a good possibility, rose. *hugs* I am thinking of you and sending positive vibes.
3:29 am
sprite
hi ruby, yes, a nice big one again.
3:30 am
rubyfoo
ROSE: THAT IS WONDERFUL NEWS|! YES, SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS!!!!
3:30 am
rubyfoo
since husband isnt speaking to me, I'll have plenty of time to do it
3:31 am
sprite
not speaking to you? Lol, silly man. What's his problem today?
3:32 am
grannyrose
lol, thanx ruby, must admit to a few tears of relief, myself. 2 of my sons turned up at the hospital, and sat with me. i had to wait for 4 hours post dye, 'cos 40 ye5 ago, i had a very bad reaction.
3:32 am
grannyrose
oh, ruby...peace at last
3:32 am
rubyfoo
he can't find his pond nets which he probably threw away in a snit.
3:32 am
mrpresident
rose, did you email me yesterday? cause I don't have anything from you hunny
3:33 am
grannyrose
hang on, will check
3:33 am
sprite
I can imagine, rose. Very stressful, all of it. And worth a few tears with the results!
3:33 am
rubyfoo
thinks he is the one who bought them and is being horribly nasty -- I think his disappointment with his daughter's visit (it was fine for me) is carrying over
3:33 am
mrpresident
oh rose! glad you are relieved at last though
3:33 am
mrpresident
hi ruby :)
3:33 am
mrpresident
hi sprite
3:34 am
sprite
if you can, ruby, let him work it out by himself and wait until he is civil again :)
3:34 am
sprite
hi mrp, welcome back
3:34 am
mrpresident
sorry if i am not concentrating on chat... have been mobbed by doc and nurses in last hour
3:34 am
mrpresident
can't they see I am playing babble??? !! GEEZ!
3:34 am
rubyfoo
I'm just hiding in the studio
3:35 am
grannyrose
no, mrp, thought i had, but then yesterday the sky could have fallen in and i wouldn't have noticed.
3:35 am
sprite
priorities, dear... priorities. Medical people never seem to get them right.
3:35 am
mrpresident
oh rose! ((gentle hugs))
3:35 am
mrpresident
indeed sprite.
3:36 am
grannyrose
HEY SPRITEY...i resemble that remark. LOL
3:36 am
sprite
darn ruby! Don't hide! Sit where you like to sit and let him rage.
3:36 am
sprite
*grins at rose*
3:39 am
mrpresident
is His Excellency having a bad day ruby??
3:39 am
rubyfoo
unfortunately, it's much more pervasive than that
3:40 am
mrpresident
such a shame he is being a pervasive ass
3:40 am
sprite
he has no right, hun.
3:41 am
rubyfoo
nothing I can do except stay out of his way
3:42 am
sprite
he should be ashamed at himself. Seriously. Will you tell him he has something to make up for BIG TIME when he gets over his tantrum?
3:42 am
mrpresident
is he abusing you ruby?? sorry to pry, but this doesn't sound like a 'tiff'
3:44 am
rubyfoo
this has been going on for a while, mrp, and I've bent many of my babble friends' ears with this ongoing saga. He is too old either to change or to be kicked out.
3:44 am
rubyfoo
I am just coping better, not engaging in his disputes
3:44 am
sprite
my opinion is that behaviour like this is abusive. Even though not physical, it is definitely emotionally abusive.
3:45 am
mrpresident
he needs medical help perhaps? have him sanctioned next time he has a hiss fit. Will slow him down big time!
3:45 am
rubyfoo
for sure, but there's nothing I can do to change him; he's 86 and not healthy
3:45 am
rubyfoo
his MD's don't really listen to me
3:45 am
mrpresident
I am not sure how your health system works, but if you can show unreasonable behaviour, he can be 'pressed' to get help... ergo the sanctioning
3:46 am
mrpresident
call an ambulance, let them see his behaviour... they will take him away in an instant
3:46 am
sprite
*agrees with mrP*
3:46 am
rubyfoo
we are not part of the health system as we are not French
3:46 am
rubyfoo
but it wouldn't matter
3:46 am
rubyfoo
and he can be charming with everybody else
3:46 am
mrpresident
oh dear ruby... that is just nasty that MD's can't help
3:47 am
sprite
I almost hope he will have a tantrum when I am around...
3:47 am
rubyfoo
maybe I should give him Zolofy or Xanax, slip it into his food! lol
3:47 am
rubyfoo
but this group has really helped me to cope as I was feeling very isolated before
3:47 am
mrpresident
that would work!
3:48 am
sprite
you can always check with Scrabs to make sure it goes well together with his current meds :D
3:48 am
grannyrose
my first husband was like that, could charm the birds out of the trees, but behind closed doors, he just let her rip. words, fists, feet, you name it.
3:48 am
mrpresident
you could do a kim bassinger and record his tantrum??
3:48 am
rubyfoo
that is awful, rose, but at least you were young enough to change your situation
3:48 am
sprite
omg rose. How awful. Did you leave him?
3:49 am
mrpresident
that is shite rose... bad bad news
3:49 am
sprite
my father was like that. Some people have an amazing mask.
3:50 am
rubyfoo
I had such nuice parents, never really witnessed any anger at home, so this is a big shock for me
3:50 am
mrpresident
cruel and unkind mask when it turns on you
3:51 am
sprite
yeah and charming and pleasant mask when turned on others.
3:51 am
grannyrose
oh, yeah, mrp. well, i actually threw him out, right after he took my eldest by the throat, bent him backwards over the arm of the couch, and th6ened to strangle him. at which point, his parents who were sitting on said couch, just stood up, and said, we think we had better go home. NICE!!!!
3:51 am
rubyfoo
how supportive of them! not
3:52 am
mrpresident
OMG!! they ignored that????
3:52 am
sprite
with such nice parents, ruby, you have at least the backbone and power to keep faith in yourself. Keep telling yourself you do not deserve this kind of treatment and you are not required to accept it.
I know he is old, but you can certainly let him know he is WAY out of line.
3:53 am
sprite
what!? those parents are criminals, rose. How terrible! And I salute your power that you threw him out.
3:53 am
rubyfoo
I am lucky to have had those parents
3:53 am
grannyrose
none so blind....right? when i realised that i wasn't going to get ANY support from them, i knew it couldn't go on.
3:54 am
rubyfoo
Burt has bad parents and therefore was a bad parent himself. He only speaks to one of his 3 children and has no interest in his grands or great-grands
3:54 am
sprite
good for you. And for your children. They are lucky to have such a great mother. But it must have been hell for you to do this all alone.
3:54 am
mrpresident
wow... he is missing out on so much. He must really hate himself ruby
3:54 am
rubyfoo
I think so, mrp
3:54 am
sprite
that's what I have said some time ago too, mrP. This is a very, very unhappy man.
3:55 am
rubyfoo
but as he's never had any therapy, he has no insights. Being brillient hasn't helped him at all
3:55 am
mrpresident
very very unhappy and full of self loathing. I am so sorry
3:56 am
mrpresident
One thing I am learing being in hospital and doing DBT is that I can be with my hurt, and anger and frustration, without hurting anyone else... and without judgement of others too
3:56 am
grannyrose
ruby, some people can never change, it doesn't make it ea4 for you, my dear, at his age, sometimes th4 just can't see the wood for the tr4s
3:56 am
sprite
being brilliant can actually stand in the way of insights. Too smart for our own good, I know how that works. And too old now for therapy, even if he would consider that at all, which he won't.
So take care of yourself, ruby. Seriously. Find ways to feel happy, even if his majesty is acting out again.
3:56 am
mrpresident
and yes, it is a shame he has never tried therapy... cause it plants some seed and helps somewhat, sometime. Genius doesn't mean great!
3:57 am
rubyfoo
thank God for the dogs even thugh crazy-head puppy boy bit me yesterday
3:57 am
grannyrose
darn, dinner ready. bbl.
3:57 am
mrpresident
see ya rose :)
3:57 am
mrpresident
looking forward to your email too!
3:57 am
rubyfoo
{{rose}} and I am so happy with your good news!!!!
3:58 am
sprite
that is a great learning process of the soul, mrP, even though it stinks on the physical plane.
3:58 am
sprite
bye rose, enjoy dinner and I am still enjoying your good news.
3:58 am
rubyfoo
many years ago, I went through a couple of bad depressions (I always thought they were physiological, not situational), but after several years of various kinds of thearapies, I got better
3:59 am
sprite
I think therapy can be a real blessing. It doesn't change things for you, but it can help teaching you how to change them yourself.
3:59 am
mrpresident
yes, finding the right therapy for the situation that brought you to depression is God-send
4:00 am
sprite
amen to that
4:00 am
rubyfoo
and it's like with doctors, sometimes you have to "shop around" a little or even a lot
4:01 am
sprite
yes, that is very true. I tried many therapists and then found a psychiatrist who actually specializes in the disorder I have. She is amazing and I learn lots from her.
4:03 am
rubyfoo
I went to a behavior modification guy to deal with one problem, to a transactional guy for me difficult life with first husband, with a Freudian woman to work through probs with my mother (totally fixed) and then, finally with a gestalt psychiatrist, who put all the pieces back together in 1975!
4:04 am
rubyfoo
I was lucky to have found good docs but also to have been receptive to their help
4:04 am
mrpresident
very lucky indeed!
4:04 am
mrpresident
bbl, have to find ice cream for my coffee before they lock me down for the night :))
4:05 am
sprite
lol go find the icecream!
4:05 am
rubyfoo
now I will go and extend a palm branch and if he doesn't grasp it, he's on his own for the rest of the day
4:05 am
sprite
that is essential, indeed, ruby. No therapy will work when one is not receptive.
4:06 am
sprite
goooo ruby! And be firm, ok? Not apologetic with the peace palm... just showing you are a loving person.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
many people think they are to smart to accept help from a "lesser individual" but help is help
4:06 am
sprite
there are no lesser individuals. Just different ones.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
{{sprite}} I always listen to you and you help me A LOT!
4:06 am
sprite
and we can learn from each and every one.
4:07 am
sprite
*hugs ruby* Whatever little I can do from here, I am still happy to do it ;)
4:07 am
rubyfoo
and we all have such different backgrounds that it helps to he** insights from another direction
4:07 am
sprite
yes, I feel the same. Many babble insights have helped me too.
4:07 am
rubyfoo
you help a lot, sprite!!!!! xx
4:08 am
sprite
well, if God is willing, I will see you next month or the one after!
4:37 am
sprite

6:55 am
Trifioso
I really struggle with dipthongs when they go backwards, so that is making this one extra tricky for me....and the lack of obvious endings (other than the plural, of course) is slowing me down

Morning, flosey. I'm glad to know someone else is... besides us.
8:35 am
hokie carla
yep, here, too. I just got home from a 3 day field trip with one of the kiddos and I gots things to do!
8:35 am

does that mean you have not yet put up the stats?
8:35 am
flosey
I'm always up early
8:35 am

That it does... didn't know any were needed.
8:35 am

Should I do that?

they are always needed by somebody.

lickety's clues are up, but have an extra word
8:36 am

oh i thought lickety would be out for awhile since someone said mrp was in hospital and it was broken yesterday. well nevermind me then.
8:37 am
flosey
MRP is doing them hurshy
8:37 am

even while in hospital! that dear woman is amazing
8:37 am

Oh is Lickey's list posted?
8:37 am

I hope so... it's nice not to have to do stats.
8:37 am
flosey
yes Neil, but there is an extra word
8:38 am
flosey
well, bless you, your lists have always been appreciated
8:38 am
negativeneil
Oh well... it's still better than trying to work from stats posted on Babbler's Anon.
8:38 am
hurshy
i like doing stats when i ever get the chance which is very rarely.
8:38 am
negativeneil
Ummm thanks... but not by everyone.
8:38 am
hokie carla
just went to the lickety list. how is it possible that I ALWAYS miss the ae 4??
8:39 am
negativeneil
Well I do, when they're appreciated... but it's still a lot of work so I appreciate Lickety's list. And there's nothing like that list... it's good.
8:39 am
flosey
well Neil, one can't always understand how some minds work
8:39 am
Anniebrook
I do appreciate your stats, Neil when Lickety isnt up. Thanks for yesterdays stats.
8:40 am
negativeneil
You're very welcome, Anniebrook. But yesterday I was basically told my efforts aren't needed because someone else always posts stats... so who knows.
8:40 am
hurshy
i just put them in a spreadsheet, use the LEFT command to keep only the first two letters of the words, then when it's all nice i move it to a doc, and thence to babanon or profile. is that what you do neil?
8:41 am
Anniebrook
Annie is fine. You have your letters darker on your list so it is a boon for tired eyes.
8:41 am
negativeneil
Yeah. But I don't have Excel or any other spreadsheet program... so I do it all manually in Notepad.
8:41 am
hokie carla
I appreciate whenever I can find them. I usually try lickety, then babblers anonymous, then I scan through the chat looking to see if anyone has them. problem is when someone isn't online when I see that, I can't find them to click their profile.
8:41 am
hurshy
oh that is more work. you should download open office, it's free.
8:42 am
hurshy
yes you can hokie, you just need to find them in the "rankings" (edit - find in this page)

Maybe... but I've got too much crap on this computer already and don't want to put too much more on it right now. Building a PC soon hopefully.
8:42 am
hokie carla
guess I could go in the rankings and look for peeps
8:42 am
flosey
I prefer your way Neil, the spread sheet takes up more room - or is it because I don't know how to make it smaller?
8:43 am
Anniebrook
hokie, you can always go the Rankings. Find their name th5 and click on it.
8:43 am
flosey
hokie, you can put those players in your "my friends" and then you can always bring them up
8:43 am
negativeneil
Huh, flosey? How would you see a spreadsheet? You'd just see the text that results wouldn't you? The actual stats?
8:43 am
negativeneil
Who do you want to look for, Carla?
8:43 am
hokie carla
LOL, you'd think after this many years, this chatterbox still wouldn't have such a delay. ;-)
8:44 am
flosey
I've never used a spread sheet here, Neil, so I probably don't pick it up properly, no idea
8:44 am
hokie carla
whoever I hear has the stats in their profile
8:44 am
Anniebrook
The re6 Lickety is so great is that the letters automatically go into the right slot. esp when th5 are 4 or 5 words with the same stats.
8:44 am
hurshy
flosey, i was just talking about how i MAKE stats on the occasions when i have made them. nobody posts it as a spreadsheet.
8:44 am
flosey
they weren't available on computer when I worked, had to create my own
8:44 am
negativeneil
Oh, ok. Well like flosey just suggested... when those people are online, go to the Who's Online tab to find them in that list and add them to "My Friends". Then you can find them more easily.
8:44 am
hokie carla
yeah, the lickety list is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
8:45 am
negativeneil
That's what I thought, hurshy!
8:45 am

It sure is, Carla... I think it's great.
8:45 am

phantom ferret is driving me crazy.
8:46 am
hokie carla
I used to have friends, but they have disappeared from my list. I stopped playing for several years and now they are gone. I rem. hurshy was one, though that may have been in ironsudoku.
8:46 am

9:00 am
negativeneil
Oh the Scottish way, crossy?
Don't they salt their porridge?
9:00 am
hokie carla
ooh, I think I hear thunder
9:00 am
crosshair
they do
9:00 am
negativeneil
I've heard they eat it just salted... I can't imagine eating it like that. Yuck.
9:01 am
flosey
that would not appeal to me at all
9:01 am
crosshair
now,saying that about it,if you could eat a bowl of it,you could run all day on it
9:01 am
negativeneil
No way. Not to me either.
9:02 am

Why is that crossy?
9:02 am
crosshair

9:02 am
negativeneil
Oh, yeah... well it is.
9:02 am
flosey
guess it's all in what you've grown up with
9:02 am

And cheap. Which is why we eat oatmeal a lot.
9:02 am

i would still be burping it when walking home from school lol
9:03 am

Haha.
9:03 am
flosey

Hey crossy, which browser do you use?

9:07 am
flosey
I can remember sitting in front of a tiny bowl of uggggh cream of wheat - how I hated that stuff, and couldn't go to school until I had finished it all
9:07 am

opeara turbo feature rocks for packet compression so you data usage does not take a big hit
9:07 am

9:08 am

9:09 am
crosshair
nope,it is running fine neil
9:09 am

Hmmmm ok. Wonder why I'm getting that?
9:09 am

Wow really flosey? I love cream of wheat.
9:10 am
negativeneil
Crossy... I do all of that.
9:10 am
negativeneil
Yes. I do that daily/nightly.
9:10 am
crosshair
then if all else fails,use c cleaner to uninstall the program and do a fresh reinstall neil
9:10 am
crosshair
matter of 2 minutes
9:11 am
negativeneil
I would use Revo Uninstaller Pro. Great program I have that cleanly uninstalls anything.
9:11 am
negativeneil
I really don't want to do that with Chrome, or I'll lose all of my bookmarks.
9:11 am
crosshair
whichever..a fresh install may help
9:11 am
negativeneil
Yeah, if I can back up my Google Chrome bookmarks.
9:11 am
crosshair
i meant uninstall goodreads,not uninstall chrome!
9:12 am

You can't uninstall a website, crossy.

I once worked with a gal who loved perfume - she'd come in, I swear with fumes rising, then sit down and spritz some more all over her - and her boss was allergic!
9:26 am
negativeneil
Yeah flosey... I have allergies and too much perfume or cologne seems to bother me.
9:26 am

Doesn't sound too smart of her... did she ever get fired for that?
9:27 am
negativeneil
Haha! Laughing at your pic, carlee!
9:27 am
flosey
no, he was a wonderful man, don't know how he stood it though
9:27 am

If I were him? I would've asked her to refrain from wearing it in the workplace.
9:27 am
negativeneil
Didn't he tell her he was allergic?
9:28 am
flosey
well he had the clout to do that Neil, but just never did - he was Chairman of the Ontario Labour Relations Board
9:28 am
flosey
we all knew!!
9:29 am
negativeneil
Wow. Amazing that he didn't ask her not to wear it?
9:30 am

I agree but that was many years ago Neil, before I was married, which is 50 years, we didn't really understand much then about allergies
9:32 am
lbdawger
hi everyone! I had a student who came in my little office reaking of perfume. I gagged and told her she'd need to reschedule as her perfume was killing me. she apologised and said it was "poison" and she put a little extra on cuz no one commented on smelling it.
9:33 am
negativeneil
I see flosey. Hi dawger.
9:33 am
flosey
good for you lbd, people should be more aware now
9:33 am
negativeneil
Huh. Nobody else should smell your perfume, unless they're probably too close for comfort, haha.
9:34 am
lbdawger
i've had to ask students not to wear cologne, perfume to class, as i am very sensitive to the smells.
9:34 am
negativeneil
If I do wear any cologne, I put so little on that probably only my g/f ever notices it.
9:34 am
negativeneil
But that's kind of how it should be.
9:35 am
flosey
I just stopped using it altogether
9:35 am
flosey
but, perfume sales don't seem to be suffering
9:35 am
lbdawger
i refuse to go thru some stores because of their perfume counters being strategically set by the doors. gag!
9:35 am

9:52 am

You can browse books and see what anyone you're connected with is reading and recommends. I've written a couple of book reviews on there.
9:53 am

There are lots of Babblers on there and even a Babbler's group, Judi.
9:53 am
rubyfoo
the pup is incredible! only 4 months and he is already a formidable watch dog. And he's going to be bigger than the other chows, has gained about 3kg in one month
9:57 am
lbdawger
goodreads is also a good way to keep track of your inventory...and books you want to read.
9:57 am
rubyfoo
that's a good idea, ibd
9:58 am
rubyfoo
do you keep track of the books you\'ve read?
9:58 am
lbdawger
yes, i do. i can go in and see when i read it and if i liked it or not too.
9:58 am
Judi
I don't keep track. I lovem and leavem. Although I do have a small collection of some classics.
10:00 am
lbdawger
goodreads also lets you see your favorite authors lists, and if they have a series what order they were written
10:03 am
rubyfoo
my sister used to send me books in "M bags" and I read and kept ao many, the first years here, that now I have no idea what I read or didn't
10:03 am
rubyfoo
maybe my marbles are going.....
10:04 am
lbdawger
goodreads would be a good place for you to put those titles in.
10:04 am
rubyfoo
if it's not too late....
10:04 am
rubyfoo
sorry off to the pb
10:05 am
lbdawger
i bet you'll surprise yourself how much you remember.

10:12 am

Consistent correction. Don't really know what else to suggest?
10:13 am

correction how? I'm going to try a jar with nails to make a loud noise
10:13 am
lbdawger
upset tummy...what was last eaten? maybe a little bowl of rice.
10:13 am
rubyfoo
saying "No" does nothing
10:13 am

bite back.
10:13 am

Squeezing the muzzle firmly and saying "NO".
10:14 am

that's what I've been doing, neil, he likes it

Well I'd squeeze the muzzle... kind of like a mother dog does when she's correcting a pup for that.

10:14 am
rubyfoo
hello viajes
10:14 am
negativeneil
Yes, viajes... are you on there?
10:14 am
negativeneil
And if so how would anyone find you?
10:14 am
lbdawger
you could try a muzzle. but that doesn't always work.
10:14 am
viajes
I am indeed!
10:14 am
negativeneil
I'm logged in there now.
10:15 am
rubyfoo
he likes absolutely any contact, cuddles, licks, then bites
10:15 am
crosshair
i entered for the signed first ed copies of bound by blood and damnation and dames;))
10:15 am
negativeneil
How old is he?
10:15 am
rubyfoo
4 months
10:15 am
negativeneil
How would Ifind you there, viajes?
10:15 am
viajes
I'm not very active -- I tend to log on about once every six months and then add all of the books I've read, and then forget about it for another six months...
10:15 am
negativeneil
I'm in the Babbler's group there so I'm easy to find.
10:15 am
negativeneil
Yeah. I don't usually log in there too often either. But more often than that. ;)
10:15 am
lbdawger
firm, "NO BITE", then distract him with tickels or give him something else to bite, a chew toy not a body part
10:15 am
rururocks
what you do when he bites Ruby is scream ouch..
10:16 am
negativeneil
Hey ruru. :)
10:16 am
negativeneil
Or bite him back. :P
10:16 am
rururocks
loudly.. that's what his litter mates do and they learn to not bite
10:16 am
rubyfoo
aaah, screaming is the one thing I haven't tried
10:16 am
negativeneil
I thought you were kidding ru?
10:16 am
rubyfoo
distracting works, but only for a minute
10:16 am
viajes
there's a babblers group on Goodreads?!?!
10:16 am
negativeneil
Yes, viajes.
10:16 am
rururocks
you can also get a pepsi can and fill it with pennies and tape the top and shake it or throw on the floor when he bites
10:17 am
rubyfoo
aside from that, he's great
10:17 am
negativeneil
If you connect with me you will find it because I'm a member... so there's something in my profile linking to the group.
10:17 am
negativeneil
But how would I find you on there?
10:17 am
rubyfoo
I made a "noisemaker" and will try that tonight. He always does it at the same time
10:17 am
rururocks
lastly you can get a squirt gun and if he chomps on something nail him with water on the muzzle and then say NO or LEAVE IT loudly
10:18 am
negativeneil
If you want to send your Goodreads profile link to my email address on profile, I can add you... if you don't want to post it here?
10:18 am
rururocks
the screaming works the best
10:18 am
rubyfoo
water pistol is a good idea -- hmm how do you say that in French LOL
10:18 am
lbdawger

Found babble group. There was a guy named Neil who had the same picture as you, so I figured there was a good chance it was you
10:21 am
negativeneil
Oh, haha. Yep... that would do it.
10:21 am

The group name is funny. Are there Babblers who don't read?
10:21 am

When I lived in Nicaragua, I literally filled half a suitcase with books, and then gave them all away after I read them (which thrilled people, since the only English books you can find in most parts of Nica are the hostel book swaps, which are 90% Danielle Steele and John Sanford)
10:29 am

more good information gets passed through here pro bono than many could ever afford in the real world,we have dr,s lawyers,landscapers,computer geeks who all share freely..one of the great things about babble
10:30 am

10:33 am

btw the lifeboat is ms rogans first novel
10:33 am
viajes
I have realized that my book collection is more a vanity than a functional collection -- I like to display them on my shelves, and when I go to people's houses I look at their books too. So if I have them on e-readers...
10:34 am
rururocks
what about "My husband's Scalp" by Ms.Rogaine?
10:34 am
crosshair
do not know it ru..but already is scares me...
10:35 am
viajes
(not that the books aren't functional, just that a very very small percentage are being read at any one time...)
10:35 am

i keep a nice blend of e-books and what my son now calls "dead tree books"

also you have to turn off your e-books when the plane takes off. And that is a good five or so minutes of inconvenience!
10:36 am

2:45 pm
Cherrypop
What's the difference between a ghost and a phantom?
2:46 pm
rbud
not mu4, lol, it's just the word they all use.
2:46 pm
rbud
maybe ghost was used before phantom? you've been around longer than I.
2:48 pm
MollyL
"Ghost town" was a joke because no one was chatting
2:48 pm
Cherrypop
Yes, I'm one of the "oldsters." a lurker is probably more accurate!
2:49 pm
rbud
I thought you meant that your name was *almost* in the grid, that would be a phantom.
2:53 pm
HarryHood

rbud
need 15 more words to make halfway, don't have the 10 or any 9's yet, guess I should peek at lickety's. :P
2:56 pm
MollyL
Turns out "phantom" and "ghost" both loosely mean something/someone that can't be seen.
2:56 pm
rbud
yay, found or9 and or10, happy happy!
2:58 pm
MollyL
Good for you Rbud. It's always nice to find words on your own.

5:00 pm
scrambler
i am a newbie :3
5:00 pm

Did you ever watch "The Wire" on HBO cos?

5:01 pm
Glantarell
Good evening all
5:01 pm
bichon
Lance Reddick was on that and also has a very small role on "Lost"
5:02 pm
cosdem
that names familar... hmm
5:02 pm
MollyL
I keep waiting for The Wire to get released to Amazon Unbox or Hulu Plus. I would love to watch it.
5:02 pm
MollyL
I thought Lance Reddick's role on LOST was pretty major.
5:03 pm
cosdem
time to check imdb
5:03 pm
bichon
Really Molly. I'll have to go check. I thought it was very brief.
5:04 pm
cosdem
he's been in 3 law and order series
5:05 pm
bichon
Yes, he was in SUV for 6 episodes
5:06 pm
cosdem
i love svu. maybe thats why i recognize the name.
5:06 pm
bichon
Reddick played Matthew Abbadon in the 4th and 5th seasons. Visited Hurly at the mental institution
5:07 pm
cosdem
hurly is the big guy?
5:07 pm
MollyL
Hurly is the big guy that is on Alcatraz now.
5:07 pm
cosdem
ok that was my next question thanks molly :)
5:08 pm
MollyL
Bich, SO many people speculated that Abbadon was going to turn out to be grown up Walt. I think the writers even thought that for a while, before they did a major re-direct on the LOST story line.
5:08 pm
bichon
Hurley, the big guy. I remember Sawyer calling "Deep Dish"
5:09 pm
bichon
I was sorry that his role wasn't bigger
5:10 pm
cosdem
speaking of lost.. theres a new theory on who henry's father is on OUAT (writers hinted at this in twitter) ---- henry's father is baelfire .. we'll see if thats true
5:10 pm
MollyL
That's interesting. Baelfire meaning the real one?
5:11 pm
cosdem
