2:03 am

grannyrose

no, dear, just the usual hiccup

2:03 am

flosey

hi rose

2:04 am

flosey

yes, realized that when last comment took so long

2:04 am

grannyrose

flosey, becoming just a tad anxious and excited.....18 days to go

2:04 am

flosey

oh I bet rose, but won't it be great to get it all over with

2:05 am

grannyrose

sure will, hun. starting to limp pretty badly. refusing to use walking stick. i want these muscles to work hard.

2:06 am

flosey

isn't that hard on them though?

2:06 am

grannyrose

lol, they gave me a DVD of exercises to do pre-op.....just when do i do them? oin my sleep?

2:06 am

rbud

hello, lovely ladies! late to the grid, but I finally made it. :)

2:07 am

flosey

hi rbud

2:07 am

grannyrose

hun, have to keep them functioning, otherwise rehab will take too long

2:07 am

grannyrose

hey rbud

2:07 am

flosey

oh, good to know that rose, thanks

2:08 am

grannyrose

i plan on being back at work by 8 weeks.

2:08 am

flosey

wow, you are one tough lady

2:08 am

flosey

tough, but with heart of course

2:09 am

grannyrose

not tough....just very stubborn.lol

2:09 am

flosey

sometimes stubborn is good

2:09 am

rbud

just had a visit from old friends from back home, on their way through the state after visiting a new great-grandbaby. Lovely woman, 74 and still working, currently in an altzheimer's unit caring for folks younger than herself in some cases, wow.

2:10 am

grannyrose

wow, indeed, rbud.

2:10 am

gapeach

Hi there, flosey. How are you?

2:10 am

flosey

good thanks peach, you?

2:11 am

flosey

very tired, but was hoping to finish this tonight - silly me

2:11 am

rbud

she was on track to retire earlier until their house burned down, now back to where they were then, and looking at retiring next year. hope so, she deserves a break. :)

2:12 am

flosey

oh wow, what a tough break

2:12 am

gapeach

OK except for allergies and sinus problems....I think most of my friends have the same complaints.

2:12 am

grannyrose

good grief, rbud. the nicest people seem to get the touighest deals.

2:13 am

flosey

ah, is it the time of year peach?

2:13 am

gapeach

I think so, flosey.

2:14 am

grannyrose

peach, my problem is convincing himself to vacuum, NOT sweep. the dust sets me off terribly

2:14 am

grannyrose

then again, having an himself who is willing to clean floors is a bonus.....just not when i am home.

2:15 am

gapeach

Yes, it does do that. If he insists on sweeping perhaps he could do it when you are out of the house.

2:16 am

flosey

understand that rose, I try to get hubby to drive slowly as he approaches the house, even though the driveway is finished with fine stone, there's still dust from it, if windows are open it comes in

2:16 am

grannyrose

shall we use the term ' crusty old bachelor ' to describe him?

2:16 am

gapeach

Yes, you are fortunate that he does do it. Some men seem to think they are "above" cleaning.

2:16 am

flosey

lol, sometimes that does fit

2:17 am

flosey

we gave in and have a lovely girl come in for 3 - 4 hours every two weeks, helps a lot

2:18 am

grannyrose

well, flosey, he was a bachelor for nearly 20 years before i married him. he raised 3 kids, as a single dad. my hat is certainly off to him.

2:18 am

flosey

ah, hubby was a student when we married

2:18 am

rbud

<-- rolling eyes - sure can relate, Hubs would much rather boss everyone else around and have them clean, than lift a finger himself

2:19 am

flosey

wow, good for him, not easy for a man to raise kids

2:19 am

grannyrose

lucky you, flosey. my first husband was not a good choice....but we were in love, and idealistic.

2:20 am

flosey

we made it to 50 years last summer, and still going strong

2:20 am

flosey

he had to pay his own way through U so had to take a few years off to earn some money

2:20 am

grannyrose

WOW!!!!! some marriages are certainly made in Heaven!!

2:21 am

flosey

had our ups and downs but survived

2:22 am

grannyrose

flosey, i did everything in my power to keep my first marriage alive....he didn't.

2:23 am

flosey

it does take 2, rose

2:23 am

grannyrose

i know that now, but then...it was very frustrating.

2:24 am

grannyrose

now hubby and i both work together, sometimes need to nudge him a little...e.g. bathroom

2:25 am

flosey

of course, it's an uphill battle, both have to be prepared to give and take - and work together

2:25 am

rbud

I ran from first husband after he became an evil wife-beating drunk. Was only 19 at the time, but I knew it wasn't for me.

2:25 am

grannyrose

oh, for goodness sake, my canary is telling me off, brb. need to cover him for the night. lol

2:25 am

flosey

wow rbud, good for you, getting out isn't easy

2:26 am

rbud

he was 23 or so. thought he was a nice guy, soooo wrong, sigh...

2:27 am

flosey

if I had married at 20, would have been a disaster - my father suggested I wait until 21 which was very wise, didn't last that long

2:27 am

rbud

didn't marry this one until I was 34, thought I'd wait till I was sure this time, lol! we have 25 years in now.

2:28 am

gapeach

Good for you rbud.

2:29 am

flosey

wtg rbud, smart lady, and it paid off

2:30 am

flosey

I was 29 when we were married

2:31 am

grannyrose

what lovely stories from both of you. current hubby and i have been griends for nearly 28 years, been married for the last 8. i think the trick is...be a friend first, then move deeper if both of you want to do so.

2:32 am

gapeach

Good advice, rose.

2:33 am

gapeach

Dear peeps, I'm going to have to go to bed. See y'all later in the day.

2:33 am

grannyrose

of course, he was much more circumspect than i....i had to wait for 6 years before he could commit himself to me.

2:33 am

grannyrose

peach, sleep well, hun

2:34 am

flosey

now, I really must get to bed, going to Victoria tomorrow

2:34 am

rbud

nite peach, sleep well

2:34 am

dizgrannie

hubby and I were married for 13 yrs when he had a 'midlife crisis' and went off the rails.....he sorted himself out and we have been back together nearly 16 yrs - certainly better 2nd time around.

2:34 am

flosey

lovely chatting, goodnight now

2:34 am

rbud

nite, flosey

2:34 am

flosey

great that it worked out diz

2:34 am

grannyrose

night, flosey, sleep well, hun

2:35 am

rbud

ah, the midlife crisis, those can sure be rough

2:35 am

grannyrose

and hi diz

2:35 am

dizgrannie

LOL rbud....rough ain't the word.

2:35 am

dizgrannie

hi granny

2:38 am

dizgrannie

2:38 am

grannyrose

2:40 am

rbud

on another subject, I got a new(er) truck Monday, am enjoying it muchly, newest vehicle I've ever owned.

2:41 am

rbud

needs a little bit of body work along the wheel wells, but hubby has a nephew with a body shop, think it will be near perfect after that.

2:42 am

grannyrose

yay, rbud. that's great news

2:43 am

rbud

gosh, it even has working AC, haven't had one with that for years. Yay!

2:44 am

grannyrose

lol, rbud, when i bought my first NEW car a few years back, i was amazed to have working heating.

2:46 am

grannyrose

isn't it amazing just what we will put up with?

2:47 am

rbud

no kidding, many's the car I've owned over the years that was only good for getting from point A to point B, and had nothing much else going for it.

2:47 am

grannyrose

lol, rbud, me, too

2:48 am

rbud

I just wish they'd never stopped putting in good old wing windows and lower inside vents that actually let in real outside air, like in our old '71 Chevy truck (we still have it)

2:49 am

rbud

most dependable vehicle we've owned over the years, never fails to start and run.

2:50 am

rbud

something always going wrong with the newer ones we've had.

2:50 am

grannyrose

rbud, we have a saying over here...refers to AC, 4WD4o...4 windows down and 40 mph

2:52 am

rbud

heehee! that about describes it! :)

2:55 am

grannyrose

how you going with the grid, hun?

2:56 am

rbud

good morning my babble friends

hey crossy

4:59 am

crosshair

you know i used to complain in my own mind at least about babble being the same ole,same ole,never updating,never refresing itself,never going for a new look,or new things to do added on but i may have to revise my way of thinking. i am also playing a game on facebook called gardens of time and the thing is in beta mode and stuff seems to be changing every 5 minutes and of course the inherant bugs and glitches that come along with it,so now when i come into babble it is like finding your old pair of comfortable slipper and reading chair exactly where you left it,unchanged and familliar;))

there is this new alarm clock that is based loosly on that perfection game of old where you had to put the different shaped bits in the holes within a certain time or they would launch everywhere.this clock has 6 different shapes and when the alarm goes off,it launches them all over the room and the only way to shut the ting off is to find all 6 pieces and put them back in the holes and push the button

5:36 am

bojazz

just got up - would love a nap :)

5:37 am

bojazz

sounds like fun crossy - my son would have done me in for that ...

7:30 am

Anniebrook

hi dawg :)

7:30 am

jmcnrick

7:30 am

sprite

:) glad it helped!

7:30 am

Nef

hurshy, did you go to the interview yet?

7:32 am

hurshy

yes, it was tuesday

7:32 am

jmcnrick

interview?

7:32 am

sprite

how did it go?

7:32 am

Nef

I have to laugh; I was working and working on that far right L when sprite helped me out! :-)

7:33 am

sprite

*grins* Glad to be of service, Nef :D

7:33 am

Anniebrook

I hope it went well and good luck to you

7:33 am

jmcnrick

sprite is so helpful!

7:33 am

Nef

Ooh! Interviews?

7:33 am

hurshy

i had a job interview. it wasn't that great. there were 3 people conducting it which was a bit overwhelming. i felt like a deer in headlights and couldn't think.

7:33 am

sprite

argh that is so ugly, hursh. 3 to 1 is aweful.

7:33 am

Nef

(((hurshy))) was it a job you were very interested in?

7:34 am

hurshy

oh, medium, nef. it had certain advantages. but i don't mind if i don't get called back.

7:34 am

Anniebrook

hurshy, they ganged up on you but you are a bright girl...I am sure that came through

7:34 am

jmcnrick

gosh i know what you mean. . .i had a job interview where i was interviewed by six board members, did a role play, and THEN was interviewed by 20 staff members!

7:34 am

lbdawger

r's ravaged!

7:34 am

sprite

jeezzzz jmc... that is downright cruel

7:34 am

jmcnrick

hold out for your dream job if you can!

7:34 am

sprite

rightly rocking, dawg

7:35 am

lbdawger

geez, that interview sounds more like an inquisition

7:35 am

jmcnrick

wtg lbd

7:35 am

hurshy

i have trouble conversing with people i've just met under any circumstances... so it's not exactly my strong suit to interview.

7:35 am

jmcnrick

no it is just quakers have this odd ideas about hiring

7:35 am

Nef

I was interviewed several times by 3-4 people for the nurse manager job. I ended up so confused I didn't know who they were for several weeks! :-)

7:36 am

sprite

hursh, if they are looking for someone comfortable with that amount of pressure and stress, the job is not healthy for you. And if they don't, they will know how to read people who are overwhelmed by it and judge accordingly.

7:36 am

lbdawger

lol, nef.

7:36 am

hurshy

i felt like mitt romney - stiff and no personality

7:37 am

jmcnrick

haha i am sure you were better than that

7:37 am

lbdawger

i think the only interview that was close to that was at the university. interviewed by the staff of the office/program, then the deans of student affairs, then then hiring committee. oh and some students.

7:37 am

sprite

*hugs hursh* I liked you very much, when we met, right away.

7:37 am

hurshy

but sprite we knew each other from here so that helped :)

7:38 am

Nef

(BTW, I'm back working very part time as Nurse Manager; but only for certain functions and policies; and work I can do at home. Brand new postion, just announced this week)

7:38 am

jmcnrick

yay nef!

7:38 am

sprite

true, but still :) You were awesome. Radiating intelligence. So their loss if they cannot see through the very understandable stiltedness.

7:38 am

lbdawger

are you happy with doing that, Nef?

7:39 am

sprite

oh great, Nef, congrats :)

7:39 am

hurshy

that's cool nef

7:39 am

lbdawger

good luck, Hursh. if they don't see your strengths... pooh on them! their loss.

7:39 am

jmcnrick

i have interviewed dozens if not hundreds of people hursh and after a while you see beyond the interview nerves

7:40 am

hurshy

i guess but if the nerves really prevent you from giving them the answers and information they need... i dunno. whatever. it's all good.

7:41 am

Nef

It's expanding, they are moving; and this will make it easier for the clinic manager with all that going on. My job is to do the grants and keep them in compliance with all the laws. *Very* part-time; because I can't le*** DH alone much right now.

7:42 am

jmcnrick

its nice it is something you can do some from at home

7:42 am

lbdawger

sounds like a good match, nef

7:42 am

Nef

hurshy, everytime you go for an interview, remember that they are just as human as you are, and don't you dare sell yourself short! YOU are a fabulous person; and We all know that!

7:43 am

sprite

amen to that, Nef

7:43 am

jmcnrick

hear hear nef!

7:43 am

lbdawger

ditto

7:43 am

Anniebrook

ditto

7:44 am

hurshy

thanks. i was thinking all these good preparatory things before i went in, and being myself, and all that, but then, it just flew out the window.

7:45 am

sprite

yeah well it would with most people, hursh, when faced with a 3-man commission. Don't worry. You will be hired by a company that appreciates what you have to offer. If it is not them, it is their loss.

7:45 am

Nef

When I was looking for a job; I kept telling myself that I knew I was a good nurse; I may not have been an expert at the area of nursing I was interviewing for; but I could learn! Keep telling yourself that too, hursh.

7:45 am

hurshy

it's my same "company" :) yale.

7:46 am

hurshy

i think i do better with small businesses.

7:46 am

jmcnrick

i write a small note or one word cue somewhere unobtrusive and look at it. . . for class it is WAIT:why am I talking. . . .for interviews it is FAB (no explanation needed) and peek at it as needed

7:46 am

Nef

That's good! You know the "company!" :-)

7:46 am

lbdawger

then they should know your value in your work with them.

7:47 am

hurshy

it's big, though, dawg - the people who interview you for one job don't know you from your other job.

7:47 am

jmcnrick

well they know you work for yale so you're not likely to be a dummy

7:47 am

sprite

if they are interested, they know where to find some more info on you then, hursh. And it they are not, booh for them.

7:48 am

hurshy

you'd be surprised, jmc...

7:48 am

Nef

no, but they at least have some of your work records, right?

7:48 am

jmcnrick

haha!

7:48 am

lbdawger

but they know people you know. and one big thing about internal interviews, you know the policies and all the icky stuff they'd have to teach and train a newbie on as well as the job.

7:49 am

jmcnrick

it is all relative hursh. . . when i went to rice we thought the jocks were dummies but in comparison to jocks at other schools. . .

7:49 am

hurshy

yes but i suspect a lot of the other candidates are internal also.

7:50 am

lbdawger

Possibilities, but you gave it a try, if you get the position AWESOME, if not, it's a good experience and you dusted off your resume for the next time.

7:50 am

sprite

and since some of them ARE dummies, you will look better anyway. Trust yourself. You will find a good job.

7:50 am

hurshy

yes.

7:50 am

hurshy

more phantoms: drive, derive

7:50 am

hurshy

and drivel!

2 years ago i saw bradburys dark carnival in g+ no dust cover,but the thing was full of library stamps and a card pocket and 2 sloppy book plates for 300

11:41 am

crosshair

i kind of want a nice clean f grade

11:41 am

Book Doctor Gwen

$300 is about right fair for an ex-lib. those things norally go for a lot more

11:42 am

crosshair

libraries are great things,but i have seen many,many rare books ruined by some librarian with an ink pad fetish

11:43 am

Book Doctor Gwen

someone published a book once called Librarians as Enemies of Books, about that same issue

11:43 am

crosshair

indeed gwen a clean personal copy no dust jacket in f grade is hitting 1500 or more:(

11:43 am

Book Doctor Gwen

as a dealer i avoid acquiring ex-libs unless the book is already rare

11:44 am

crosshair

i saw a first ed of catcher in the rye ruined with ink stamp frenzy once

11:44 am

Book Doctor Gwen

then i sell to both readaers and collectors. readers are generally happy with a Poor copy if it is priced reasonably

11:44 am

crosshair

indeed,if i just want to read it,i do not care if it is a side tracked return with the cover torn off it ten years ago

11:47 am

Book Doctor Gwen

you should never buy a book with the cover torn off. do not ecnourage the thieves.

11:49 am

crosshair

in my collection,i have two copies of stephen kings book skeleton crew.one that is read to tatters,tape holding the front cover on and a old knee bandage holding the back cover on,writing in the margins and one pristine copy.on a dare,my mrs had me send both to him for a autograph as he has said many times that he loves to see a book that has been ridden hard..well both came back after 6 months.he had signed the ratty one and on the inside of the cover of the good one he wrote"send this one along when it looks like the other-S" was the only time he ever responded to me

11:49 am

crosshair

man has a wicked sense of humor

11:50 am

crosshair

i know gwen.have not done it often

11:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i have heard he is a pretty nice guy. probably the reason it took six months is that he lets his mail pile up for a while, at least some of it, then tackles all the fan mail at once

11:51 am

crosshair

most likely

11:51 am

Book Doctor Gwen

also, when he signs a ratty copy, he is not increasing its value quite as much as if he signs a Fine copy

11:51 am

crosshair

so now i read the clean copy and no one touches the ratty dog eared taped one lol

11:52 am

crosshair

life is funny

11:53 am

Book Doctor Gwen

btw, the torn off cover thing applies to paperbacks, not hardcovers ...

11:53 am

crosshair

thats what i was talking about,softcovers

11:53 am

Book Doctor Gwen

yep, okay

11:54 am

crosshair

dn how they process returns on the hardcovers

11:54 am

Book Doctor Gwen

with a hardcover you send back the entire book. now, you have heard of remainders?

11:55 am

crosshair

price of things,if i sold new hardcovers,i would want them to supply them all on spec

11:55 am

crosshair

i have indeed

11:55 am

Book Doctor Gwen

all the major book distributors allow returns under certain conditions, so it is sorta like buying on spec

11:56 am

Book Doctor Gwen

near me there is a huge ramainder store, and when i have some loose change i buy a few remainders, very carefully, of course

11:56 am

crosshair

do not care for that "certain conditions" though

11:57 am

Book Doctor Gwen

well, there are sometimes titles that can't be returned. a common example are textbooks where the margin is like 5% (most new books the margins is 40%)

11:57 am

crosshair

if it sits on my shelf for a year,i call that a condition lol

11:57 am

crosshair

40% :((((

11:58 am

Book Doctor Gwen

also, after a year, that might be too long, you are now the happy owner in perpetuity lol

11:58 am

crosshair

guess i am too used to conveinience retail 80-120% lol

11:58 am

Book Doctor Gwen

why i handle used books only, apart from my own self-published titles of course

11:59 am

Book Doctor Gwen

120% margin is impossible. i mean margin (discount) not markup!

11:59 am

crosshair

indeed,now that i am among the ranks of the semi-retired,my long dream of a used book store may come to fruition

12:00 pm

crosshair

gwen..those kricket lighter all corner stores sell for $1.50 or $1.75? we pay 33 cents for

12:00 pm

now that is a margin;)

12:01 pm

Walmart took over one of our chains - cant remember which- but they kept the original name

12:10 pm

we have dollar stores up the wazoo. dollar castle, family dollar, etc, etc. everything is cheap plastic crap made in china

12:11 pm

i agree gewn,they treat employees like cattle and 99.98% of the cruft comes fro 3rd world countries where people get used for a dollar a day

12:11 pm

12:14 pm

nearest costco is hour away from me so i do not food shop there

12:15 pm

hokie carla

I love Costco, but I have to drive 35 min. to one and 45 min. to the other.

12:15 pm

Sadly, the problem is, most people don't care about corporate greed and their crappy corporate policies. People will shop anywhere they can get a good deal.

12:15 pm

12:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

my mission in life (among several thousand) is to spread the word about mall-wart and costco

12:16 pm

MollyL

Costco, and stores like that, are great if you are shopping for a family of 5. Not so great if you are shopping for two. Unless you have a huge budget that allows freezer storage and pantry storage.

12:16 pm

crosshair

ok,tell us why costco is so much better..sell me

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

here you pay incredible amounts for manufactured things, e.g. aluminum foil, soap powder, etc. but food is very cheap.

12:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, i live alone, so i only buy a few things at costco, like soda pop (my major vice) and the occasional DVD

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

and mthere is no real choice

12:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the CEO of costo is hated by other CEOs because he takes a reasonable salary.

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

you can only stop brushing your teeth or washing clothes

12:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

costco is not open late on the weekends so their staff can have a life

12:18 pm

hokie carla

I even love Costco's baked goods, but I will have to split it with a friend or it will get thrown away here.

12:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

costco operates on a 12% markup, or less, except for their own store brand, which they sell for a 14% markup

12:18 pm

hokie carla

That is the problem with Costco and BJs - we don't need all that stuff at one time!

12:19 pm

MollyL

Costco has amazing baked goods. I do the same thing (split them) Hokie.

12:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

costco pays a living wage

12:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

costco staff, in my personal experience, and friendly and helpful

12:19 pm

amelu0218

LOL! The closest Costco that I can find is 6 hours from me... *snaps fingers* darn the bad luck! But I do not step foot in WallyWorld more than once a year, and that's pushing it.

12:20 pm

MollyL

To balance the markup comment, Costco also charges a membership fee, which allows them to operate at a lower markup.

12:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yes, the one downside is that costco is a "warehouse" store. you can't buy just one onion, you have to buy a 5-pound sack of onions (for example)

12:20 pm

crosshair

well spoken gwen,may have to research them a bit

12:20 pm

crosshair

oh,bulk only??

12:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

costco and sams club (which is a mall-wart company) both charge an annual membership fee.

12:21 pm

hokie carla

and BJ's

12:21 pm

MollyL

That's why I said they are great if you are shopping for a family of five.

12:22 pm

crosshair

i can see it now..wife would have me spending 2500 dollars on non perishables and shopping twice a year

12:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

when i joined costco i looked at the one item i planned to buy there, which was my OTC allergy pill, and after joining for $50, I calculated that I would still save money on my allergy pill, so I joined

12:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i also buy toilet paper (something like 30 rolls for $9) and office supplies there

12:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

they have fairly cheap toner cartridges, but not for every printer ...

12:24 pm

MollyL

The problem with cost effective grocery shopping is that most people don't have time to go to one place for one value and another place for another value and yet another place for value number three.

12:24 pm

crosshair

well,there may be something to this..assuming you need a skid of peanut butter or 500 cans of tuna or a 10 kg can of mustard;)

12:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

molly, yeah, it's sometimes kind of annoying, since i have 4 or 5 places where i get my groceries and stuff now ...

12:24 pm

hootowl

Consumer Reports gave Costco the top grade. They are honest, don't overprice and worth the trip.

12:25 pm

MollyL

Also, Costco rotates their stock. So the deal you find there this week may not be there next week.

12:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, not everything is huge quantities only, i mean, they sell individual DVDs and books and bags of snack food

12:25 pm

12:26 pm

hootowl

hi people. Had to chime in.

12:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, costco stocks only what it feels are good products that they can get for good prices. so they sometimes have the Coca-Cola made with cane sugar, and sometimes they don't

12:26 pm

amelu0218

I share your pain. ~:o/

1:30 pm

crosshair

phantom "zealot"

1:32 pm

amelu0218

there are way too many almost words today...

1:32 pm

crosshair

that is usually a sign of the evils lurking within

1:33 pm

crosshair

can you clue the 8 that is not a muscle?

1:33 pm

amelu0218

yep, evil would be one of them...

1:33 pm

amelu0218

it's an en

1:33 pm

amelu0218

more?

1:34 pm

crosshair

nope,good for now ty

1:34 pm

amelu0218

:o)

1:34 pm

crosshair

got it ty

1:35 pm

amelu0218

yvw

1:35 pm

crosshair

now all that is left are 100 four letter babblets;(

1:36 pm

amelu0218

that should go rather quickly...

1:36 pm

crosshair

indeed,will just let the cat walk back and forth across the keyboard for an hour...

1:37 pm

amelu0218

LOL! Yes. I need to turn it over to my 22 month old grandson...

1:38 pm

crosshair

yup,tell him to type any 4 letters he wishes and hit enter and to do it 300 times

1:39 pm

amelu0218

I think I'd just let him type and I'd be in charge of entering... he has a nasty little habit of prying the keys off of laptops.

1:40 pm

crosshair

mm,good plan then

1:40 pm

crosshair

almost 2..have you warned mom and dad to batten down the hatches? hehe

1:41 pm

amelu0218

he has an older brother who will be 6 in July, so I think they think they're prepared, LOL!

1:42 pm

crosshair

good stuff

1:42 pm

amelu0218

Little do they know... *rubs hands in glee* bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha.

1:42 pm

crosshair

yes..the teens....

1:43 pm

crosshair

i have an 18 year old who grunts at me unless it has to do with money ro the car,then he is a master spokesman

1:43 pm

crosshair

or

1:45 pm

amelu0218

one granddaughter will be 12 in July, other will be 9... my son had one attitude episode that I let last about 3 weeks before I nailed him on it and we haven't had any problems since...

1:45 pm

amelu0218

he was about 15

1:46 pm

crosshair

funny kid though,he had weekly allowance from me and was picking up odd jobs.now he wanted a laptop,but he had to budget clothing out of the funds(tryingf to teach the boy budgeting) well! last 3 month the kid wore rags and got his new laptop 2 days ago..was quite funny

1:46 pm

crosshair

watch that 12 year old grand daughter,she will have mom going insane any time now

1:46 pm

MollyL

Amelu, you have the right idea. So many parents just put up with that stuff, instead of confronting it head on.

1:47 pm

HarryHood

hi just started - I don't see how I can possibly get 200 words out of this grid

1:48 pm

amelu0218

said I wasn't sure which of us would be more surprised when he was picking himself up off the floor, me or him. why, he asked. because if you keep that attitude up I'm gonna SNAP and we'll be lucky if you keep all your teeth. He pondered for a moment and said Sorry mama, I didn't realize I've been acting that way.h

1:48 pm

crosshair

one thing i learned is say what you mean and with it comes to punishments and removal of privilages for offences,never relent..ever! once it is applied let it run the selected time

1:48 pm

crosshair

good stuff amelu

1:49 pm

amelu0218

Yes, mom is already borderline, LOL! She says "I never acted like that! Where did she get it from???" We just laugh and roll our eyes.

1:49 pm

MollyL

Harry, the grid is evil. Run while you still can.

1:49 pm

crosshair

the parents curse...it works

1:49 pm

HarryHood

already 52 in. too late

1:49 pm

crosshair

run harry! run! save yourself!!

1:50 pm

HarryHood

heehee....it can't be _that_ bad, can it? I mean, we survived 8 years of George W Bush

1:50 pm

amelu0218

I"ve been here for almost 4 hours (sheesh, time flies!) and only have 170... only about 18 words in the last hour...

1:51 pm

MollyL

Yes, and are somehow surviving the Obama years.

1:51 pm

HarryHood

not all of us are surviving

1:51 pm

crosshair

ill take obama,you can have our premier dad lol

1:51 pm

xeiluj

One thing i learnt from my teenage son (he isnow 24) is not to rise to his level.Don't get angry and end up grounding them for the rest of their life time!!!

1:51 pm

MollyL

This is true Harry. I should have chosen my words more carefully.

1:52 pm

HarryHood

btw, all of you talking about teenage kids - I'm sticking my head in the sand. tyvm

MollyL

Oh wow, if I could package him up, I would FedEx him up there overnight.

crosshair

1:53 pm

MollyL

No thanks to both.

1:53 pm

crosshair

1:54 pm

MollyL

That's interesting because your health care comes from your taxes.

1:54 pm

crosshair

it does...a catch 22 it is

1:55 pm

HarryHood

1:55 pm

amelu0218

Good job, harry!

1:55 pm

crosshair

1:58 pm

MollyL

Harry is a Babble Stud : D

1:58 pm

1:59 pm

hego

3:40 pm

MollyL

And they all say that it's much cheaper to live where they live. Well yeah, but they are spending everything they save on housing on gas and wear and tear on their cars. Not to mention the stress.

now, i feel better :)

4:31 pm

hurshy

was that about the grid, or something else?

4:32 pm

MollyL

*Pats Lillann on the head and fixes her a drink*

4:33 pm

hurshy

i have cheese & crackers, would that help?

4:34 pm

lilliann

my daughter

4:34 pm

lilliann

hi molly and hurshy

4:34 pm

MollyL

<---Is afraid to ask

4:34 pm

hurshy

what did she do?

4:35 pm

hurshy

(fools rush in where angels fear to tread)

4:36 pm

lilliann

she's been trying for a fight all afternoon when we were out shopping...@whatever@ is her favourite word to anything i said, crashing the shopping trolley into the back of my chair, walking off with it when i wanted to put shopping in it...being sarcastic, nasty and a right brat!!

4:37 pm

hurshy

how old is she?

4:38 pm

gapeach

need food brb.

4:38 pm

lilliann

let her poor arthritic grandad bring the shopping bags from the car, because she was too busy holding my old cat who doesn't like to be held by her...

4:38 pm

MollyL

That kind of crap would have her grounded for a week if I were her mother. Especially crashing the cart into your chair.

4:38 pm

lilliann

nearly 13...going on 17!!!

4:39 pm

lilliann

i've told her she is grounded for a week

4:39 pm

lilliann

i've also told her that her horse riding lessons have now finished!!

4:39 pm

MollyL

Good for you Lilliann. She and her nasty attitude can have a lovely time together in her room.

4:39 pm

MollyL

Double good for you.

4:41 pm

lilliann

she went last night, and they charged her Â£11 for 30 mins instead of Â£14 for an hour, all because there were no other riders.how does that work?? she is doing the same thing every week and riding the same horses that she complains about!

4:44 pm

MollyL

Teenagers can be miserable and ungrateful. I'm sorry she's got you so stressed out.

4:45 pm

bichon

I went through the teenage thing with my daughter. Now she's 33 and has a daughter herself. It can be brutal, but won't last forever

4:45 pm

lilliann

she's now upset and crying in her room!! i'm sorry but i'm the bad one yet again, even though her dad and grandad who take her riding say thet it is a waste of money, unless you have a horse stabled there and i'm the one who gets all her bad attitude when nothing goes her way or i tell her off. i have enough to cope with and am sick of the swearing and nasty attitude towards me...all because i'm being the parent!!

4:46 pm

MollyL

You are not the bad one.

4:46 pm

hurshy

this is why i have cats.

4:47 pm

bichon

that's just the way it is Lili and there's really not much you can do about it to make it stop. It will pass and you two will be loving buddies at some point in the future

4:49 pm

sammysmom

keep on being the parent lil.... i had to be the parent.. my husband weas either drunk of hung over.. his parents were way to soft and mine were not here..... so i was the bitch.................... and they are all so grateful now.... first of all, that i let them live and second , that i made them into responsible, caring human beings it was tough, but i proudly wear my pink bitch hat that they gave me and laugh as they are being "tough" on their own kids

4:50 pm

MollyL

Wise words SMom. I salute you and your pink hat.

4:50 pm

sammysmom

pronounced on each one of therm... my "mother's curse".... ''I HOPE YOPU HAVE KIDS JUST LIKE YOU!!' AND THEY DID-lol

4:51 pm

bichon

hurshy, there is wisdom in that statement.

4:51 pm

lilliann

i know bichon, i was the same with my mam, as in not getting along all the time, but i never swore...didn't dare but i was 16/17 and i was the best of friends with my mam from 23 and still on going

4:53 pm

bichon

Lili, times are different now. I hate to say it, but children aren't nearly as afraid of our parent's might as we were when we were little. That's why you have to ignore the swearing and persevere

4:53 pm

lilliann

sorry, am reading throught he chat..my daughter just came and gave me a hug and we've talked a little bit but i've sent her to bed as it's late and she needs to sleep and i can't talk over everything tonight...

4:54 pm

bichon

We used to make up and I would always tell her that Mothers and daughter fight and make up.

4:56 pm

MollyL

For all the hard times, like Lilliann is describing, kids also bring an immense amount of love and joy. I could never say I would rather have animals than kids.

4:57 pm

bichon

I don't know if anyone here watches "Mad Men". The mother is a real cold hearted bitch and she and her daughter Sally, now 12 are always going at it. Sally got her period and who did she run to for comfort, yes, Mom

4:57 pm

bichon

I said that half-jokingly Molly. But, pets are never mad at you, want to drive the car, or go to college

4:58 pm

MollyL

I hear you Bich.

4:59 pm

MollyL

I'm glad she came and gave you a hug, Lilliann. Better to end the night that way and sort things out later.

5:00 pm

lilliann

just read sammy, and good for you and so glad your bairns turned out well,but with you, they were bound too..i just hope that my daughter does too...my hubby works away alot and my family live the otherside of the country and my parents live in france so my f.i.l has her for every week but she is good for him and loads of people tell me how caring and polite she is and she iseven teaching his elderly neighbout how to read and write...so it just shows that i have bought up a lovely caring daughter...just not to me

5:01 pm

sammysmom

yay lil....... its worth the time and trouble huh?

5:02 pm

lilliann

sammy, my mam always said"whatever turns around will come around, and your children will be just the same!! boy was she right!! lol

5:03 pm

sammysmom

yup

5:06 pm

MollyL

I'll bow out of this one now.

5:06 pm

5:26 pm

MollyL

We got Top Cat in the States. Cos is too young to remember it.

5:26 pm

lilliann

it had officer dibble in

5:26 pm

cosdem

ah ive watched top cat. i have it on vhs actually. forgot about it

5:26 pm

lilliann

he always wanted to catch top cat

5:27 pm

lilliann

i take it you're not then molly :)

5:27 pm

cosdem

i need to go dust them off lol.. top cat, heckle and jeckle, droopy etc

5:27 pm

cosdem

i loved wally walrus

5:27 pm

MollyL

Nope, I'm not too young to remember Top Cat.

5:27 pm

lilliann

cos, how can you forget about 'topcat'?

5:28 pm

lilliann

:) molly

5:28 pm

cosdem

its been years since I saw them... i like the older cartoons better.. 1980's and earlier.

5:28 pm

cosdem

pink panther was one of my faves as a kid because they rarely ever spoke lol.. same for tom and jerry

5:28 pm

lilliann

wally walrus?he wasn't in top cat!lol

5:28 pm

MollyL

Cos, did you see what I said about Archie and Jiminy? Do you think now that the curse is broken, the characters will be their real age?

5:28 pm

cosdem

this was back when captions weren't commonplace

5:29 pm

cosdem

i know he wasb't he was in droopy

5:29 pm

lilliann

i like 'beepbeep'

5:29 pm

cosdem

ooooh didnt see that molly.. excellent theory.

5:29 pm

lynxxx

who cringed when Cos said 'older - 1980s and earlier'?

5:30 pm

lynxxx

everyoneloves the Roadrunner!

5:30 pm

MollyL

The only character who aged was August, because he wasn't in Storybrooke. We will see, I guess.

5:30 pm

lilliann

we didn't have captions in our cartoons!

5:30 pm

MollyL

Oh and Emma, same reason.

5:30 pm

lilliann

yay lyn :)

5:31 pm

cosdem

emma wouldn't age, she was born 28 years ago the same time the curse took place

5:31 pm

lilliann

me lyn and when he said captions!!

5:31 pm

cosdem

duh never mind.. i misread what you said.. sorry!

5:32 pm

cosdem

top cat was yellow wasn't he

5:32 pm

cosdem

I'm hopeful we'll see Maleficient again in flashbacks.

5:32 pm

MollyL

I think it will be explained away that the characters didn't age because of the curse. Otherwise, they would all have to wear "old" makeup. That still doesn't explain why Marco is older than Jiminy.

5:33 pm

cosdem

maybe when Jiminy became a cricket he stopped aging/

5:33 pm

MollyL

That will probably be the explanation.

5:33 pm

lilliann

no, he was a browny colour

5:33 pm

cosdem

brb MIL is here to drop off money

5:34 pm

lilliann

7:24 pm

kje

I am looking in Inner Richmond as first coice due to proximity to what I need, then maybe cole valley or inner sunset

7:24 pm

kje

then nob and russian hills

7:25 pm

kje

would love pacific heights, but could only get a dmall place there on what I would prefer to pay

7:25 pm

bichon

Everything is pricey in SF. Son lived in OUter Sunset and in Glen Park.

7:26 pm

kje

outer sunset is reasonable (in SF terms) but would just like to be walking distance to shops/restaurants, etc

7:26 pm

kje

"This is a beautiful in-law units that was remodeled in 2008 and is in excellent move in condition. The unit features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 living room with hardwood floors. Both rooms have great views into a beautiful shared backyard. However, there is no kitchen so tenants will have to make other arrangement."

7:27 pm

bichon

Glen Park is near BART

7:27 pm

kje

gues how much

7:27 pm

kje

7:27 pm

bichon

Wait, no kitchen. Is that a joke

7:28 pm

kje

no

7:28 pm

kje

7:28 pm

kje

no joke

7:28 pm

bichon

I would not be astounded as to the price.

7:28 pm

HarryHood

other arrangements? bbq on the porch?

7:28 pm

kje

so how much for this lovely unit with no kitchen

7:28 pm

kje

$1700/month

7:29 pm

bichon

Is your work near BART

7:29 pm

HarryHood

takeit!!!

7:29 pm

kje

but HH... also no fridge, sink, etc, let alone a stove!

7:29 pm

bichon

That's not that much for SF, but no kitchen?

7:29 pm

torgone

With a view of someone else's back yard ..

7:29 pm

kje

I will drive, walk, or bike, bichon

7:29 pm

HarryHood

I'm joking :)

7:29 pm

HarryHood

for 1700 I can get you a tent and a campstove

7:30 pm

kje

it is low for SF... but no kitchen!!!

7:30 pm

HarryHood

and go live in golden gate park - there are lots of colorful personalities

7:30 pm

kje

so what deal can I get if I am willing to live without a toilet?

7:30 pm

HarryHood

heehee

7:30 pm

bichon

If you can get to work on BART, then living further out wouldn't be bad

7:30 pm

bichon

Peeing is overrated

7:31 pm

HarryHood

this is why we have windows!

7:31 pm

bichon

But, no place in the Bay Area is cheap.

7:31 pm

kje

I work all hours, bichon, so car is essential... I will pay more rather than spend an hour commuting

7:32 pm

bichon

I wouldn't mind paying more, but I'd have to have a bathroom and a kitchen [however small]

7:32 pm

kje

will give up space to live closer to work... I hate working 60+ hours, then commuting another 10-12/week

7:32 pm

kje

yes... bathroom and kitchen are essential
