Book Doctor Gwen

12:26 am

jillibus

12:26 am

Book Doctor Gwen

and two other similar words, probably variant spellings

12:26 am

rururocks

sounds good jilli

12:27 am

rururocks

if the french would say satire jilli it might be this

12:27 am

cybernan

like night in french?

12:27 am

rururocks

or black

12:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

rhymes with the word for a hardboiled mystery drama, usually b/w if it's a movie

12:28 am

cybernan

1:11 am

MissOmnibus

tweek is too, not that the grid admits it...

1:12 am

Christine

I think tweak is speled with an a?

1:12 am

negativeneil

I've always seen it with "ea", yes.

1:12 am

MissOmnibus

hmmm might be migth be

1:12 am

Wyrd

correct Miss

1:13 am

Christine

and spelled has two LLs

1:13 am

negativeneil

Yes, but I figured that was a "typo". ;)

1:13 am

negativeneil

Wyrd?

1:13 am

Christine

Ah, you read typo? me too.

1:13 am

negativeneil

What's a "fibbertygibbet"?

1:14 am

Wyrd

hehehe

1:14 am

Christine

someone of little brain?

1:14 am

Wyrd

if you explain the magic, you lose the magic

1:14 am

Wyrd

nice Christine

1:14 am

negativeneil

I wouldn't think so, in Wyrd's case?

1:14 am

negativeneil

Surely not?

1:15 am

negativeneil

Oh hey, you're in this city too I see, Christine?

1:15 am

negativeneil

W. Hollywood here.

1:15 am

Christine

The first time I saw Phantom, there was a magical scene, where the Phantom pulls Christine through the mirror. The second time I was placed so I saw what happened.

1:16 am

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* -- see you in a couple of days :)

1:16 am

Christine

'm in what they term South Hollywood, in the area of Santa Monica and Normandie - a little west, a little south of the intersection.

1:16 am

Christine

Yay, Cybernan

1:16 am

negativeneil

Oh yes! :)

1:17 am

MissOmnibus

sife weta isnt a word... its a giant f*ckoff insect from New Zealand...

1:17 am

grannyrose

WTG NAN!!! and goodnight, hun. sleep well

1:17 am

negativeneil

We're at Sunset Blvd. & N. Orange Drive, Christine.

1:18 am

negativeneil

Near the "In-N-Out". Which is too handy. :P

1:18 am

jillibus

just back from various things -- thanking granny for the sa8/65...saying hi to neil...and off to bed. Early start tomorrow, busy day. Goodnight all...*poof

1:18 am

Christine

I know the area, but since I no longer drive ( and cannot walk with ease) I'm not often away from home.

1:18 am

Christine

Goodnight Jillibus, sleep well.

1:19 am

jillibus

Oh, and hi and bye to Christine...*repoof

1:20 am

negativeneil

Oh I see, Christine. Sorry to hear that.

1:20 am

negativeneil

And hi jillibus.

1:20 am

grannyrose

night, jilli, my friend. hope you sleep well and awake refreshed

1:20 am

negativeneil

And... good night to you.

1:21 am

Christine

NegativeNeil - could be a whole lot worse.

1:22 am

negativeneil

Oh just "Neil" is fine, Christine.

1:22 am

negativeneil

Since it's my name. ;)

1:23 am

Christine

I always make such a fuss if my name is shortened -- and I figure people pick the name they want us to use. I'll try to remember.

1:23 am

flosey

Hi everyone

1:23 am

Christine

Flosey, good evening. Our storm is on it's way to the North, I hear.

1:24 am

flosey

oh dear, shall we batten down the hatches

1:25 am

flosey

we have had a mixed day here, mostly dull

1:25 am

negativeneil

Haha, well sure Christine... but obviously "NegativeNeil" isn't my given name. It's just my online username.

1:26 am

negativeneil

Since my first name is so common, I wouldn't really be able to use just that anywhere online. And this moniker I use is a joke, pertaining to my blogging style.

1:26 am

negativeneil

Hi flosey. :)

1:26 am

Christine

I don't know when it started, but the noise in the drainpipe cut into my reading at about 10pm. Very heavy, but it's lessend somewhat. We expect more ove the rest of the week. SoCal. needs it, but I plan to stay indoors 'til it's over.

1:27 am

Christine

Oh Neil, and I really thought your Mum gave you the full twelve letters.

1:27 am

flosey

hope it isn't too heavy, causing ferry cancellations, we have to go to Victoria tomorrow

1:27 am

negativeneil

Yeah. The rain hasn't been fun but like you say, we have needed it.

1:27 am

negativeneil

Haha. Yeah... I'm so sure you did, Christine. ;)

1:28 am

Christine

Neil, heavy rain out your way?

1:28 am

negativeneil

She was smart to give me a short name that just can't be shortened. Or people would shorten it. :P

1:29 am

negativeneil

Well it was raining earlier... haven't checked in a while now. It wasn't very heavy though.

1:30 am

negativeneil

It's pretty chilly here too... about 56Â°F.

1:32 am

Christine

The same here, of course, but I never feel hot or cold, so the windows and door are all still open.

1:32 am

negativeneil

Yes, of course.

1:32 am

negativeneil

You never feel hot or cold?

1:33 am

Christine

Not since I was about 50 - the doctor says I'm a freak, but I'm a comfortable freak. Don't need the a/c or the heater, used a blanket only once in the past 25 years.

1:35 am

negativeneil

Wow.

1:35 am

negativeneil

I've never heard of that before!

1:36 am

MissOmnibus

Sounds like your hypothalamus is special Christine.

1:36 am

Christine

I guess it's unusual - I haven't owned a coat in years, and in London, on a winter vacation, I drove my poor Mum mad, because I wouldn't buy a coat, or borrow one from my sister.

1:37 am

negativeneil

You go out in winter over there with no coat?

1:37 am

Christine

MissOmnibus, I've decided I'm all-over special (not too vain, eh?)

1:37 am

grannyrose

hey flosey and christine, and miss omni

1:37 am

flosey

hi rose

1:37 am

Christine

Hey Granny6Rose

1:38 am

negativeneil

Man. I went to London for a week this past summer with my dad, in mid-July, and it was chilly and pouring rain the whole time... I was running around in a hoody and my leather jacket! In SUMMER.

1:38 am

Christine

and Miss Omnibus, sorry that I overlooked you.

1:38 am

MissOmnibus

hey granny

1:38 am

Christine

And Milslbooks.

1:38 am

MissOmnibus

lol Christine

1:38 am

millsbooks

opps sorry

1:38 am

MissOmnibus

its fine, the green hair is camouflage

1:38 am

Christine

Ah, But Neil, I'm a Londoner, or I was until I was 24yo.

1:38 am

MissOmnibus

baha

1:38 am

grannyrose

hey mills.....

1:39 am

millsbooks

good morning all

1:39 am

negativeneil

Like... in this photo, that my sneaky dad took surreptitiously while I was passed out from jetlag in our hotel lobby in London:

http://tinyurl.com/b8g8bta

1:39 am

negativeneil

[that was just after we arrived]

1:40 am

negativeneil

Morning, millsbooks.

1:40 am

negativeneil

Or late evening to you, from here.

1:40 am

negativeneil

And I see, Christine... guess that explains it. I was chilly there... teeth chattering. :P

1:42 am

Christine

In London, as a kid, I remember I waas always cold, terribly underweight from illness, and never comfortable. And summer seemed never to last long enough to waarm me.

1:42 am

negativeneil

I can imagine. There's a chill there that just goes right through you. Of course I'm not used to it either.

1:42 am

Christine

My computer likes to put in an extra A in many words

1:43 am

negativeneil

Sure... blame it on your computer. ;)

1:43 am

negativeneil

Actually it would be good when chatting with the person I am right now on MSN. A Swedish guy named Isac. I keep wanting to type "Isaac", haha.

1:44 am

Christine

I intended to stay only a year, (I had a job coming-up in Australia), but I tell people, by the time my second foot hit the ground, getting off the plane, I was a So>Californian .. not the north, although San Francisco is nice for a visit.

1:46 am

negativeneil

Yes, I like San Fran. But I'm San Diego born and raised... lived in Santa Cruz during and for a few years after college, then moved down here just over a year ago.

1:46 am

negativeneil

I like being not so far from San Diego now, where my dad still lives... nice to see him more often.

1:47 am

negativeneil

My mom and brother live in this city, which partially prompted the decision to move.

1:47 am

Christine

I lived in Bel Air when I first came to US, then moved to LA> I love it, all the different parts, clean or dirty, old or new.

1:50 am

negativeneil

Yeah. I didn't think I was going to really feel at home here, after beautiful Santa Cruz, which I loved... but I'm finding I like it a lot more than I expected to.

1:51 am

negativeneil

Of course finally being with my g/f here helps. :)

1:53 am

Christine

A while ago, I was in a cab with a driver who'd been in the country only a few months, and he couldn't get over the fact that the mountains, desert, and ocean are all within a couple of hours drive.

1:53 am

Christine

Is your girlfriend from Santa Cruz? Does she like WH?

1:57 am

Jivingjenny0

hi, please can i have a clue for the 7,8,or9

1:57 am

negativeneil

She's also from San Diego! The funny thing is that even though we both grew up there and are the same age, we never met... until we were both teaching English to Korean children at the YBM ECC Academy in Siheung-Si, S. Korea! Funny huh? We joke that we had to travel half-way around the world just to meet.

1:58 am

negativeneil

And yes, she likes it here a lot.

2:01 am

Bugsaw

ee 7 Jivingjenny

2:02 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks bugsaw

2:04 am

Bugsaw

I am not good with the long ones. I work up to them ;)

2:04 am

Christine

Small world. I worked with a guy from just two blocks from my home in London, didn't meet until we came to LA. And another guy that I'd gone to school with, turned up in my office one day. Then, at a banking class, I met a girl I'd lnow in grade school. They say if you stand there long enough, you'll reconnect wit all your friends in Piccadilly Circus, but in my case it's LA.

2:06 am

Christine

My postings have so many errors, you'd never believe I was once an editor on TVGuide?

2:06 am

Christine

My postings have so many errors, you'd never believe I was once an editor on TVGuide?

2:11 am

negativeneil

Oh wow... how funny, Christine. Sure is a small world sometimes huh? Yeah... LA is your circus. It's somebody's anyway. Lots of freaks here, haha.

2:12 am

negativeneil

You were an editor for TV Guide? Cool. Well I make plenty of typos on here and I've worked as a journalist and written articles... I type all the time. Still happens... proof reading is important. ;)

2:13 am

Christine

But I always tell people, our freaks came from somewhere else; they knew we'd accept them, however they were (well, consenting adults and all that).

2:13 am

negativeneil

Haha!

2:14 am

Christine

I was there in the early-mid 60s, pre-computers, when you had to do a lot of work by using prior knowledge. Now, I guess it's all computerized, and ready for the printer.

2:15 am

Christine

situ

2:15 am

Christine

oops. not a word.

2:16 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah. It would be a totally different "ball game" now I'm sure.

2:18 am

Christine

Does your gf play babble?

2:20 am

negativeneil

No. Not so far anyway. She's always busy with other things that interest her

2:20 am

negativeneil

And she's sensible enough that she's asleep now. Which of course I should be. :P

2:22 am

Christine

So she doesn't mind you sitting at the computer all evening, if she's busy doing her thing? That's nice. I once was involved with a man who needed me to be sitting at his side, watching whatever he did, never more than an armslength from him. Difficult to get a cuppa, when someones so obsessive. (or obsessed?)

2:28 am

negativeneil

Well I don't sit at the computer all evening.

2:28 am

negativeneil

I'm usually back and forth. And I didn't even get on the computer until late this evening, because we were spending time together.

2:29 am

negativeneil

When I am on it and she's up, we're usually sitting together and/or she's busy on hers too.

2:29 am

negativeneil

I'm not on here every day either. I miss a lot of Babble lately... just too busy.

2:31 am

Christine

This man was writing a screenplay, and concentrating, so it wasn't as if we would spend the time talking. The radio was an interruption, turning the pages of a book disturbed his train of thought ... ugh. Eventually, it became too annoying to spend time that way. I think his screenplay was picked up, but I can't remember the title, or his nom-de-plume, so that's a another brush with fame that fizzled.

2:31 am

negativeneil

And wow... I can't imagine living with someone like that. No, we often do our own things in separate rooms or go out separately. You can't live in each other's pockets... geez.

2:32 am

negativeneil

Yeah. I can't imagine why he had to have you there, just sitting quietly while he did that? Makes no sense.

2:33 am

Christine

I thionk it's a sign of insecurity. He also didn't like me to spend time with 'the girls', and we rarely went out with friends, incase I spokle to a boyfriend/husband of a friend. Just too weird, for long-time consumption.

2:33 am

Christine

*think, not to be confused with oink.

2:33 am

negativeneil

Brush with fame? Ha. Fame isn't all that anyway... it's pretty meaningless. So don't worry about it.

2:34 am

negativeneil

Well yeah. Of course it is.

2:34 am

negativeneil

Major insecurity going on there.

2:35 am

Christine

I lived in Bel Air and sat James Garner's kid, and some others with my own charges, later lived down the road from a studio where Steve McQueen was working, and he drove by on his bike, almost every lunchtime, we'd have lemonade on my porch. So that brush with fame was small potatoes. But if he'd been different, the fame wasn't important.

2:39 am

negativeneil

Check email.

3:01 am

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ro8-75? Thanks

3:03 am

negativeneil

ro8,75 = a path and where it goes?
[compound word]

3:04 am

jhb

Hi Big sister. Catching up n the conversation between you and negativeneil. Any room for me in there?

3:04 am

negativeneil

ro5,12 = path + Do you know the *** to San JosÃ©?

3:05 am

negativeneil

Sure jhb. Hi... is Christine your sister?

3:05 am

jhb

Yes, I am in NZ and she is my big sister. I have another younger one in London. How much further apart could we be?

3:06 am

gapeach

Bless you neil.

3:06 am

negativeneil

Sorry. I meant ro8,75 = ro5,12 [path] + Do you know the *** to San JosÃ©?

3:06 am

negativeneil

I'm tired. :/ Sorry about that!

3:06 am

negativeneil

Then plural that for the ro9,96.

3:07 am

gapeach

You did well, neil. Thanks so much.

3:07 am

negativeneil

I see, jhb... you're pretty far apart alright!

3:07 am

negativeneil

Haha. I'd tell you something funny about NZ... but not in here.

3:07 am

jhb

Hi Negativeneil though I am sure you are not at all negative. I love San Diego - have some special good friends there too.

3:08 am

negativeneil

Just "Neil" is fine [and better] actually. ;) The moniker is a joke, pertaining to my blogging style.

3:08 am

jhb

Christine did you go to make a cup of tea? I have just come in from dinner and so will make a cup too.

3:09 am

jhb

Hi Neil - good to know you.

3:10 am

negativeneil

Your email address on profile doesn't work, jhb.

3:10 am

negativeneil

Just to let you know... tried to forward to you an email I've just sent your sister. No dice... bounced.

3:10 am

jhb

Sorry - no I changed it so will go in now and change it there.

3:11 am

negativeneil

Oh ok. Mine on profile works. My Flickr photos no longer do though for some reason... although they did a little earlier.

3:11 am

gapeach

Neil, I'm sitting here in a little haze.....it's 4:10AM and I think I will save the last 24 untill later in the day.. Thanks for all the help

3:11 am

jhb

It should work Neil - but try the other one - jbaxter@xtra.co.nz. I am going into yours now.

3:12 am

negativeneil

Wow. Sleep would probably be a good thing, yes.

3:12 am

negativeneil

carleekat

Scrabbler

Give me concrete stuff--math and science.

5:58 am

carleekat

5:59 am

Scrabbler

For what course?

5:59 am

carleekat

another philosophy... we studying the ancients and mecievals..but applying their philosophy to current issues

6:00 am

Scrabbler

My brain does not do well with abstract stuff like that.

6:00 am

carleekat

all am taking now is philosophy...if the teachers college thing doesnt work... then doin MA and PhD...and will take greek and latin then

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Then become a prof and teach?

6:01 am

carleekat

well..then epistemology would suit you..those that into analytical philo..and phil of physics and logic LOVe epistemology..my prof for that course...has a desk that holds a photo f his daughter..and that is the only thing visible in his office.you can eat off his floor

6:01 am

carleekat

yeap.... if the teachers college thing doesnt work out

6:03 am

Scrabbler

I am a skeptic

6:03 am

carleekat

perfect....its all about skepticism

6:03 am

Scrabbler

I want proof, evidence, data

6:04 am

carleekat

all emporical data is skeptical ... cannot be trusted either without justified reasoning behind it

6:04 am

carleekat

empirical* even

6:04 am

Scrabbler

True, even research can be flawed. So many variables.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

That is why I question and doubt.

6:05 am

carleekat

this is epistemology......

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Look at the time! I must bring the trash/garbage/recyclables out and then get to work. Good to see you, Kat. Good luck on exams.

6:07 am

carleekat

then... you would love it scrabs.... I hate it... i know my a&& is sitting in my chair...i dont need to justify it...i dont care if anyone else believes it to be a truth that my a&& is in my chair... so the whole course can fob off

6:23 am

rubyfoo

aaah, yay, I had no idea what time it was., Yes, I'm the only person with no watch and no cell phone.

6:23 am

rubyfoo

6:24 am

wvteach

no watch here either - but clock in the room and in the corner of the computer

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I am getting ready for my (little) h9oliday tomorrow. The amount of preparation was astounding, but I am hoping that husband and pups will be OK.

6:24 am

carleekat

how are you? I feel so out of touch with babble land

6:24 am

rubyfoo

aaah, hadn't checked the computer clock....

6:24 am

wvteach

i'm hoping that you will enjoy your holiday and that both will be OK while you are gone

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I, too, have been playing less

6:25 am

rubyfoo

once my friend picks me up to go to the airport, I will try not to think about those left behind.

6:25 am

carleekat

i havent played at all ruby..in almost 3 months

6:25 am

rubyfoo

If you can imagine, my husband did not know how to use our telephone and we have now tried it about 40 times and he still doesn't get it!

6:26 am

wvteach

good plan - because there is nothing you can do about it

6:26 am

rubyfoo

I've arranged all the help for him I could manage and that's that....

6:26 am

wvteach

carlee - school will do that to you

6:26 am

carleekat

where are you off to runy?

6:26 am

carleekat

school does :)

6:27 am

wvteach

then tell yourself that you've done all you can do

6:27 am

carleekat

ruby* even ( not used to my laptop keyboard spacing at all yet)

6:27 am

rubyfoo

just going to London for a family birthday party. 1 1/4 hrs by plane but then a big trip into the city.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

I am really looking forward to getting away and not having the crushing day-to-day responsibilities

6:28 am

carleekat

nice...will be fun :)

6:29 am

carleekat

yeap...i understand that..i just took 3 days off myself....spent 3 days with the bf... he cooked for me... and I slept...only got up for the necessary...was wonderful

6:29 am

wvteach

you need the time for yourself - and to see the city and your family

6:29 am

rubyfoo

the idea of sleeping as late as I want is wonderful

6:30 am

rubyfoo

6:30 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

6:30 am

Don't forget your bumbershoot

6:30 am

6:30 am

wvteach

6:31 am

rubyfoo

hello BR. I will not stray far from the hotel: the party is there and there are several sushi restos very close by and my nephew lives 3 mins away by taxi

6:31 am

carleekat

oh yea...for the last month I have been existing on 3 hour naps round the clock

6:31 am

rubyfoo

it is extremely cold here, so it can't be worse in London

6:32 am

wvteach

no wonder you needed to catch up

6:32 am

carleekat

oh I knew i needed it... and bf was wonderful... just..let me sleep....

6:33 am

rubyfoo

that is really tough, carlee. At my age, I really need my 7 or 8 hours at night

6:34 am

carleekat

my brain doesnt shut off am afraid

6:34 am

carleekat

so even if I fell asleep..if anything woke me...I was back up..so took advantage of the awake time to write essays..i had a real killer of an essay that I really wanted to do well on... and I think I did

6:36 am

carleekat

but the synopsis for it was worth 30%, the interview another 10 and the essay itself was worth 50% of my final grade

6:37 am

rubyfoo

I well remember feeling like that and having those tough university (and post-grad) things but happily, they are long in the past

6:40 am

carleekat

i am loving it... ugh..i just looked at my schedule for next term...crappy schedule

6:42 am

carleekat

unless i can seet up my meeting with my prof for independent study on particular day...will feel ugh

6:42 am

rubyfoo

how far from your school do you live?

6:43 am

carleekat

100 km

6:43 am

rubyfoo

aaah, that's a shlep!

6:43 am

carleekat

u THINK?!?!?!?!?!

6:44 am

rubyfoo

when I went to night school, for my MA, I had to drive 1 hr 20, 4 nights a week and there was a lot of snow very often and MANY deer! Very hard after teaching all day, but necessary

6:45 am

carleekat

yeap... its an hour on the freeway... with the price of gas...ooof...

6:46 am

wvteach

that's overwhelming - just the drive

6:46 am

rubyfoo

and surviving all that is what really counts!

6:47 am

wvteach

didn't have to drive nearly that far - but it was worth it - loved my teaching job

6:47 am

rubyfoo

6:47 am

wvteach

6:47 am

carleekat

6:48 am

rubyfoo

6:48 am

rubyfoo

he is healing, mom, we go back to the surgeon today and hope he gets cleared to start chemo

7:43 am

uusue2

I am on two new medicines and am sleeping a lot, which is good

7:43 am

Mom

you all are in my prayers. I hope the side effects of chemo won't be too bad

7:43 am

Mom

that is good for you to be sleeping. I am sure you haven't had much sleep here lately

7:44 am

uusue2

they can be, of course, but we won't know until he starts

AND she isn't really having side effects from the radiation she's having now, either.

7:45 am

uusue2

they are improving it all the time, hurshy, and the chemo for colon cancer is apparently not too bad

7:45 am

hurshy

that's good

7:45 am

Mom

((carlee)) how are you?

7:45 am

uusue2

good luck to your sister-in-law, hurshy! radiation doesn't seem to have too many side effects either

she is more than half done with the radiation and i guess her prognosis is looking good. now, her marriage on the other hand...

7:46 am

i am well mom.....and you?

oh, not one of those where the spouse leaves because they can't handle the illness!

7:47 am

uusue2

it's hard, believe me, but I couldn't imagine leaving

7:47 am

hurshy

no, he was always a jerk, and he continued to be a jerk, and they are in counseling to see if he can be brought to realize he's a jerk

7:48 am

oh dear, I was married to one of those. He is still a jerk but at least I am not married to him any more.

1:05 pm

1:05 pm

MollyL

Ruby, it might help to leave a little "chart" by the phone with instructions.

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

I didn't realize it until then

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

he took notes

1:07 pm

MollyL

All that aside, I'm so glad you are getting a chance to get away and enjoy yourself. You really deserve it.

6:19 pm

nothing he can choke on: no breads, crackers, seeds, no fresh fruits or veggies, nothing with fibers or such; nothing tough, meat has to be ground or pureed; everything cut in 1/4 inch pieces.

9:18 pm

weiik
