That and cooking.

LOL.. she always complains about my driving.. I pointed out all the dents in her car.. and zero in mine
1:08 am

..and your driving style
1:08 am
negativeneil
She's a wonderful cook... baker, etc. And I'm not so much into baking but I consider myself a good cook too. And she agrees... says I'm great. But she has to hover around when I'm making a meal and she's like... "are you SURE you want to use that/do it THAT way?" Ugh. :P Just leave me to it!
1:08 am

Oh I meant the difference in our driving styles there. Wasn't picking on hers.

hey.. if you are taking the initiative to cook.. tell her to back off..lol
1:09 am

2:10 am

I have had a little trouble with lower back pain.
2:11 am
negativeneil
But that's better now... I have an amazing new favorite apparatus to help with that.
2:11 am
grannyrose
you'll find this amusing, neil. the DVD from Stryker suggests that i do my exercises 5 times per day. i work 4. 2 others i am catching up on housework/shopping. just when am i supposed to fit these exercises in? in my sleep?

2:19 am

Yes. It does alleviate pressure on the discs... stretches out the spine.
2:19 am

I was trying it out in that photo in a studio.
2:20 am

Liked it so much I came home with one.
2:27 am
grannyrose
neil, i really think you need to go with the designer-stubble. it would look so great on you!!!!! but then i don't have to kiss you...maybe elisse might like some input. lol
2:28 am
negativeneil
Haha. Yuck... I don't really like it but it grows in so fast on me and shaving is such a pain.
2:28 am
negativeneil
And no. It's not "designer" anything. :P
2:29 am
grannyrose
okay, chog has died, and i have 5 surveys to respond to.
2:29 am

Then we can shop at the Japanese grocery store :-)
8:16 am

And what do you buy there?
8:19 am
uusue2
noodles and spices that we can't get at home (although our local markets are getting more international), plus whatever captures my eye - I am a rather adventurous eater. And we can always get sushi. It's more like a whole shopping mall - big supermarket plus several smaller specialty shops, and fun to visit even if we don't buy much.

MollyL

rururocks
I don't think I"ve seen you in years
12:50 pm
GreyWoulf
It has been a loong time since I last chatted -- just too much going on at work -- by the time I get home, I don't want to do more than look at pictures if I get to turn on the computer
12:50 pm
GreyWoulf
Although, my newest hobby is trolling through Kickstarter.com to see if there are any interesting projects to support
12:51 pm
rururocks
wow.. I"m glad you have the time for that
12:53 pm
GreyWoulf
it is something simple to do at night before I crawl into bed.. doesn't take much time and you can find some really interesting ideas... I tend to focus on the games, personally
12:56 pm
GreyWoulf
hi, kje

Hi GreyWoulf!

I haven't spoke to you before, but I think you like wolves. There is a place near me called Wolf Hollow, they help wolves, and Neil Young gave them money towards their operation. It's great to see the family of wolves and their life!

jmcnrick
(goodness! what signs should i be looking for?)

1:35 pm
jmcnrick
i was about to write that i could always get a job. . . but why do i think i am any different from all the other people i know who can't find a job?
1:35 pm
jmcnrick
her majesties' Betty Windsor?
1:35 pm

1:42 pm
jmcnrick
i can do it now but have to wait for people to start the first game as i have no way to search for them
1:43 pm
hego
my daughter quit. Said it was too much pressure and not enough fun.
1:43 pm
jmcnrick
and my frustration level is so high with hidden chronicles that i am about to just send gifts and ignore the rest. . .and eventually quit
1:44 pm
jmcnrick
she quit words with friends?
1:44 pm
hego
takes forever to build something there.
1:44 pm
hego
no she phased out.
1:45 pm
jmcnrick
oh it is perfect for me as it gives me a few minutes of something other than work
1:45 pm
jmcnrick
where as when i come to babbleland. . . well i get too caught up usually in conversation. . .
1:45 pm
hego
a little break
1:46 pm
jmcnrick
i was looking and i think you can go to your fb profile and remove apps so they quit annoying you
1:46 pm
MollyL
<--Has never understood the appeal of Facebook or Facebook games...Square peg
1:47 pm
jmcnrick
like when you try a game and you decide you don't like it
1:47 pm
hego
I enjoy playing with friends from here.
1:47 pm
jmcnrick
my sister and my son are not fans either molls. . .
1:48 pm
jmcnrick

1:48 pm
hego

1:48 pm
hego
It's fun, we help eachother.
1:48 pm
jmcnrick

1:49 pm
jmcnrick
well now that i know it exists i should be able to find it
1:50 pm
hego
he can give you exact directions.
1:50 pm
jmcnrick

1:51 pm
hego
I'm not trying too hard.
1:51 pm
jmcnrick
well that is better than lying in my bed singing Jacque Brelle!
1:51 pm
MollyL
*Afraid to ask what a GOT community is*
1:51 pm
jmcnrick
is that all there is? is that all there is?
1:51 pm
jmcnrick
garden of time molls
1:51 pm
jmcnrick

1:52 pm
jmcnrick

1:52 pm
jmcnrick
if that's all if that's all
1:52 pm
MollyL
I will assume that is a Facebook game *lives under rock*
1:52 pm
jmcnrick
yes it is molls *kicks rock down the hill*
1:52 pm
hego
that part sounds good.
1:52 pm
MollyL
And what does one do in a "garden of time"?
1:53 pm
jmcnrick
have you ever play in the newspaper the game where you look for objects hidden in a picture. . . highlights for children for grown ups
1:53 pm
jmcnrick
but there is a plot that is mildly interesting
1:53 pm
hego
it's a hidden object game, but there's more it.
1:54 pm
hego
some of the art is very pretty.
1:54 pm
MollyL
I loved Highlights find the hidden picture when I was a kid.
1:54 pm
hego
and you have to know all sorts of things tosolve the puzzle.
1:55 pm
jmcnrick
there are several of them on fb and the internet in general but some of them have annoying twists and turns like hidden chronicles which makes you way to dependent on other people
1:55 pm
hego
It can be challenging.
1:55 pm
jmcnrick
part of what makes it interesting to me is that they change what they call things from time to time
1:55 pm
hego
I agree about HC Je.
1:56 pm

Hey. Anybody with Netflix - check out a movie called The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. A wonderful, though provoking movie.
3:13 pm
stidmama
:-) well, I am fading out. I think that nap is a necessity, rather than a luxury today. Will be back later. Sorry I can't keep myself awake to chat. (((hugs, choclits and guiness for anyone who wants some)))

3:13 pm
Soodle
Emmm Thought provoking, even.....
3:14 pm
Soodle
Hugs to Stiddy (((((((()))
3:15 pm
redturtlehead
Soodle, I am still thinking of running something over there....my thing is that cities in the "old world" tend to have cobbled streets and those really hurt me to run on ..
3:16 pm
redturtlehead
I am seriously thinking of napping again as well. but its close to the end of the day now. I should do some cleaning...
3:17 pm
Soodle
Well Red, for every cobbled street, there are 10 non-cobbled ones. I am not a runner, but the cobbled streets and high heels are a recipe for disaster. They can be avoided!!
3:18 pm
Soodle
Actually... those words I just typed 'I am not a runner' could very well qualify as the understatement of the year....
3:27 pm
redturtlehead
Indeed, it just depends on where the race courses go.
3:31 pm
redturtlehead
ok , my bathtub wil not scrub itself.
3:32 pm
Soodle
Enjoy the scrubbing Red....

3:42 pm
Soodle
Horse racing, Scrambler? My neighbour is Gordon Elliott, an up and coming trainer here in Ireland. Ever hear of him?
3:48 pm
Soodle
When a tip comes in from Gordon's stable, the whole village bets on it, (Soodle included) and 9 times out of 10, its lucrative.. :-)
3:51 pm
scrambler
yes I have!
3:53 pm
