flosey

1:14 am

flosey

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

That could be why you are so awake :)

5:55 am

Lizlin

Hi to anyone out there :)

5:58 am

MimiCat

((Liz))

5:59 am

Lizlin

Hi Mimi :)

5:59 am

MimiCat

How ya doin?

5:59 am

Lizlin

Good thanks - hope you had a good day yesterday

6:00 am

MimiCat

Quiet. How about you?

6:01 am

Lizlin

Don't celebrate Christmas - but had a lovely day walking on the beach and using our pool. It was great at the beach seeing so many families having a good time.

6:02 am

MimiCat

I would so much love to visit there one day. I like the Aussie spirit.

6:02 am

Lizlin

I've only been here 4 years but love it, though miss family and friends.

6:04 am

MimiCat

I think it's great to have the courage to make such a move. I've moved around a lot but only in the U.S.

6:04 am

Lizlin

It was a big move but the time was right - it all felt right and making the decision in some ways wasn't hard at all.

6:05 am

MimiCat

I've always reveled in change. How else can one truly grow?

6:07 am

Lizlin

I guess I changed less - certainly didn't move about much but hopefully grew through my job - changing responsibilities within that etc.

6:08 am

MimiCat

I'm pretty much done changing, I think, at this age, however, keep learning....that's important. Now I feel this need to share knowledge and experience, especially with younger people.

6:09 am

Lizlin

Keep learning and be open to experiences - live life to the full and enjoy every day - those are our aims!

6:11 am

Lizlin

That sounds self-centred - of course there's more than that - we both do things within our community too!

6:11 am

Lizlin

But also when we moved here, we both felt pretty burned out and were glad to make the most of having taken early retirement.

6:12 am

MimiCat

It's interesting that many of the things I considered rock solid beliefs and values have drastically changed just in the past few years. Much of that change was "forced" upon me but I've decided to embrace it the best I can and move forward. There's a quote I love: "Hindsight is like foresight but without a future." Ain't it the truth?!

6:13 am

Lizlin

I like that quote! Will try to remember it.

6:14 am

MimiCat

I see no point in going over and over the past. No matter how hard we try we can never change the past. Learn and move on, right?

6:14 am

Lizlin

So true - particularly learn before moving on!

6:14 am

rubyfoo

hello evereybody

6:14 am

Lizlin

Hey Ruby :)

6:14 am

MimiCat

6:18 am

smores

6:18 am

Lizlin

I've got 93 and it's going slowly!

6:18 am

rubyfoo

it is more than 40F here, the snowbirds who have come are all disappointed

6:18 am

smores

how was trip ruby?

6:18 am

MimiCat

I'm being inundated with phantoms today.

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I've already had lunch, so will play a little and then take a nap

6:19 am

Lizlin

Sounds good :)

6:19 am

rubyfoo

trip was great, smores, but had to come back a day early because husband was falling apart

6:19 am

sprite

Mimi: same here, phantom Central!

6:20 am

Lizlin

An "l" would be useful!

6:21 am

sprite

very much so.

6:21 am

smores

glad you made it ruby, sorry to hear you had to cut it short

6:21 am

rubyfoo

this is a nice-size grid

6:21 am

MimiCat

It's a patriotic grid for the U.S. since America is in it.

6:22 am

rubyfoo

husband needed me, and I got to attend the important parts

6:22 am

sprite

better not tell america it is not valid...

6:22 am

Lizlin

Hadn't noticed that :( Sorry! But do have the er 5 within it!

6:22 am

sprite

at least the flower counts, lol

6:23 am

smores

lol...

6:23 am

smores

was suprised the other day that texas was accepted

6:24 am

sprite

texas isn't just a state, it is also a kind of deckhouse. I looked it up, lol.

6:24 am

MimiCat

OK--you guys have lost me but I'm glad I'm comfortable being an underachiever.

6:24 am

Lizlin

me too but someone said it means a shed of types - thanks Ruby!

6:24 am

smores

didnt know that...lol

6:24 am

MimiCat

Wow---the things we learn here!

6:24 am

Lizlin

sprite I mean!

6:25 am

sprite

it again confirms the #1 Babble rule: try everything, no matter how unlikely!

6:25 am

Lizlin

tired - typing without thinking!

6:25 am

Lizlin

Good advice - advice I often forget!

6:25 am

MimiCat

That's also a good rule for life........

6:25 am

rubyfoo

I think, therefore I type LOL

6:25 am

sprite

Mimi: the flower in America.

6:25 am

Lizlin

fingers move - brain sleeps!

6:26 am

MimiCat

LOL ruby.

6:26 am

Lizlin

er 5 - a type of heather - also a girl's name

6:26 am

sprite

good Babble state, that is, Liz :)

6:26 am

Lizlin

LOL!

6:26 am

rubyfoo

quick 30, lol

6:27 am

MimiCat

Thanks, Liz....had no idea that was a flower!

6:27 am

sprite

it is heather.

6:27 am

smores

okay, I must get coffee, brb

6:27 am

MimiCat

Get those synapses firing, smores!

6:28 am

sprite

as usual I am doing pretty well with the small words, lousy with the biggies, LOL. I really should work on my word building skills..

6:28 am

rubyfoo

as you are not using your mother tongue, you are phenomenal, sprite!

6:29 am

sprite

if I thought coffee would help, I'd ask smores for a cuppa, lol

6:29 am

MimiCat

I agree with ruby, sprite---so impressed.

6:29 am

sprite

*hugs ruby* thanks dear one!

6:29 am

Lizlin

I have the 7s and 9s if you need a clue. I certainly couldn't play in another language!

6:29 am

wvteach

good morning all

6:29 am

sprite

"takes bow" Just realise you don't see the million unwords I try...

6:29 am

Lizlin

Morning teach! Love the snoopy icon :)

6:29 am

sprite

hiya Teach, you are almost in the grid today

6:30 am

MimiCat

Hi, teach. Yes, Snoopy is GOOD.

6:30 am

rubyfoo

sometimes I play scrabble in French, have only won once! It's impossible and there are almost no k words

6:30 am

Lizlin

But another babble friend is in the grid :)

6:30 am

sprite

Liz, I am good still, enjoying the plodding along stage :) Thank you!

6:30 am

rubyfoo

hello teach. Are you all recovered from your baking and company?

6:30 am

MimiCat

I noted that, too, Liz.

6:31 am

Lizlin

np - though I'm giving up for the night in about 10 mins

6:31 am

wvteach

yes, but will spend today with the grandkids

6:31 am

sprite

oooo... and I don't see him or her.

6:31 am

Lizlin

pe 5

6:31 am

sprite

oh of course. Thanks.

6:32 am

MimiCat

The GA variety.

6:32 am

rubyfoo

ty for the pe5

6:32 am

Lizlin

Absolutely!

6:32 am

Lizlin

And another free hint, if you remember how often we go whale watching - they jump out of the water!

6:33 am

sprite

but orca is a phantom

6:33 am

Lizlin

true - one of the first I saw - or should that be didn't see!

6:34 am

rubyfoo

watch out for the orca (be6)

6:34 am

sprite

lol Liz, it doesn't matter... when one of those guys jumps out of the water, we get wet whether we look or not

6:35 am

sprite

lolllll good one ruby, thanks

6:35 am

MimiCat

I once saw a mother and baby breach together--harmonious and wonderful.

6:35 am

Lizlin

And I've just realised that I should've been in the pb several times today, when people have asked what I did yesterday! and that was my first word! Duh!!!!

6:35 am

sprite

(my 3rd 6 that is. I am beyond lousy today)

6:35 am

Lizlin

Yes Mimi - that's an awesome sight!

6:35 am

sprite

awww Mimi... that sounds so special

6:36 am

sprite

and thanks for the br6, LOL... my 4th 6.

6:36 am

rubyfoo

I've only seen whales once and the only photo I got was of a big splash!

6:36 am

MimiCat

When I lived in L.A. I went twice a year--once for the migration to Mexico and once for the way back...love it and miss it so much.

6:36 am

Lizlin

We try to go every week during the winter - in fact, the company we use invented their season ticket because of us!

6:37 am

MimiCat

Liz, at least we have each other for company in the PB!!

6:37 am

rubyfoo

we are so far inland, that I really miss the ocean

6:37 am

Lizlin

It's pretty hard photographing them - but we've got some great shots. I just use a point and shoot but my hubby has a good slr and lens!

6:37 am

sprite

but you sure have a lovely lake, ruby

6:38 am

MimiCat

I had the privilege of being kissed by an Orca at Sea World years ago. Amazing seeing that huge animal coming at your face from high atop the platform.

6:38 am

wvteach

time to get going out in the rain - supposed to turn to freezing rain later today

6:38 am

Lizlin

I have found memories of Lake Geneva from family holidays when I was young.

6:38 am

Lizlin

Wrap up warm Teach :)

6:38 am

sprite

brrrr teach, how unpleasant. Warm thoughts to keep you company!

6:38 am

MimiCat

Bye, teach.

6:38 am

rubyfoo

Lake Geneva in Illinois or in Switz?

6:38 am

sprite

wow Mimi

6:39 am

Lizlin

Switz!

6:39 am

Lizlin

Didn't know about the Illinois one!

6:39 am

MimiCat

What was truly amazing was the fact that I barely felt it----so precise and careful.

6:39 am

rubyfoo

and you didn't call me, lizlin!!!!

6:40 am

wvteach

just north of chicago along the Illinois anf Wisconsin border

6:40 am

Lizlin

Did you live there then and did you invite me?

6:40 am

rubyfoo

just kidding, I've only been here 15 yrs or so

6:40 am

rubyfoo

I would now, of course, lizlin

6:40 am

sprite

ruby, apero is not valid!

6:41 am

Lizlin

So I've learnt a new geographical fact - I know you were kidding, Ruby. Me too!

6:41 am

rubyfoo

it is in this house, sprite

6:41 am

Lizlin

Well--the guy 32 years younger had been after me for about 2 years. But he was so young I felt I needed "permission" from someone to go out with him. So I called my daughter and she had no problem with it. Sorry to say, it wasn't a fun date. He's say something and in my mind I was patting him on the head thinking "Oh, you'll outgrow that." Never went out with him again----have already raised my children.

6:58 am

Fluffs know they are entitle. Why else would they be sleeping with their heads on our pillows with us

9:19 am

There's a rumor that Twinkies have a shelf life of 20-plus years. The truth of the matter, however, is that itâ€™s closer to 25 days. The plastic-wrapped desserts contain the same apocalypse-vulnerable preservatives youâ€™d find in most commercially baked breads.

hi again all!

12:34 pm

bichon

hi Sue, how goes it?

12:35 pm

uusue2

pretty good, bichon, we're at the cancer center now and Frank is getting his second treatment

12:35 pm

bichon

how's he tolerating it?

12:36 pm

uusue2

ok so far; he's had a couple of bouts of nausea and a couple of bouts of diarrhea but both were controlled by medicine

12:36 pm

uusue2

today is just the biological treatment, which has fewer side effects than the chemo

12:39 pm

bichon

it's gotta be tough. We had a friend who quit chemo because he couldn't tolerate the side effects. I don't know if not having the chemo made a difference or not.

12:40 pm

uusue2

That's tough. Frank's cancer is one that tends to recur (even with chemo) so he is determined to see it through. With the chemo plus the bio, he has a reasonable chance of avoiding that.

12:41 pm

bichon

And who knows what wonderful medicine they can come up with in the interim

12:41 pm

uusue2

exactly!

Another neighbor kept me up last night. They left their dogs on the patio (small) while they were gone and they howled and barked. I was so mad, not so much for the noise but for mistreating the dogs, that I made a complaint to our apt. mgt., left a note on their door and then ended up yelling at her this morning on her way to work!!! I'm a nice person but you don't want to make me angry!

i've been thanks flosey.i'm on here now trying to take my mind off the fact that we would have just l;anded in the dominican republic but saying that i'm not bothered so much about that at the moment

2:36 pm

lilliann

thanks TO.i thought it was about time that i got my brain going again :)

2:37 pm

jmcnrick

why would landing in DR be scary?

2:37 pm

jmcnrick

you are so close to us you should pop over!

2:39 pm

jmcnrick

hi jilly. . . i am a little slow today. . .sorry

2:39 pm

lilliann

it wouldn't. we were all looking forward to it but we are in england.the bairn was hit by a car last week and was airlifted to a hospital with severe head injuries and put into an enforced coma.she shocked everyone by recovering so quickly.they expected us being in hospital for weeks but she was in for 5 days.so we are really thankful that she is alive and doing really well.she definitely has a guardian angel looking after her and we are so thankful

2:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

OMG i am glad that story had a happy ending.

2:40 pm

jmcnrick

OMG!

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

i gasped outloud reading your tale. . . so glad it worked out more or less okay!

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

would the airline rebook?

2:43 pm

MollyL

Lilliann! Merry Christmas!

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

hi molls

2:44 pm

MollyL

Sorry to read about your girl Lilliann. Thank God for Angels who watch over.

2:44 pm

lilliann

so am i TO.i never want to repeat that performance.she has a slight bleed on the brain and a fractured eye socket and fractured bone behind the eye but there was no surgery needed for any of them and she is battered and bruised and quite sleepy which is expected but doing really well, so we can now relax and i've aged atleast 20 years in a week, but atleast we are more fortunate than other families and my heart goes out to them now knowing what it's like to think you could lose your child at anytime.i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!

2:44 pm

lilliann

hi molly :)

2:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

how old is she now, lil?

2:45 pm

smores

hello again, they finally decided to stay closed so I have the night off

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

hi smores. . .

2:45 pm

Jillyjill

Wow! (((lillian)))

2:45 pm

smores

oh my lillian...

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

who was it that was fretting about you?

2:46 pm

lilliann

we had to cancel the holiday jmc, they were quick to tell my husband that we wouldn't get a refund even though he had told them that our child was in the icu and we didn't know whether she would live or die at the time.how caring of them!! so we now have to wait for the insurance

2:46 pm

smores

hi jmc

2:46 pm

lilliann

13 TO

2:46 pm

flosey

What a terribly frightening experience lilliann, glad things are looking much better than first thought

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

how terrible. . .they used to make exceptions. . . i am glad you had insurance

2:47 pm

lilliann

i keep thinking it's gone to well too quickly TO and so can't quite relax, i know that sounds stupid...

2:47 pm

MollyL

That is really bad form on the part of the airline.

2:47 pm

flosey

I'd never choose that airline again

2:47 pm

smores

where ever it is you were going I would not go again, how awful

2:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

no ,lil, sounds like a mother

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

warning: not a comperable story==>i bought nonrefundable season tickets to the symphony right before my hubby went deaf and they refunded them when i explained he went deaf

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

no no lilli once something suddenly does horribly wrong for a while you get reasonably skittish. . .

2:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

lil, over here we have travel columnists that help in those situations...they can often get results because of the bad publicity

2:49 pm

smores

yes, hard to relax after such a scare

2:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

as a matter of fact, lil, i could give you the web addy of one

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

but over time it will go away again because. . .if we all thought about all the things that can go wrong all the time none of us would ever leave our houses

2:50 pm

lilliann

it wasn't the airline, it's the holiday company we booked it with.we are now waiting for a fit to fly letter form our gp and then we can book another one. the consultants at the hospital said she was fit to fly but we wanted her to have a rest first.we need to book in the next few weeks and go in january though as david will need to work in february as he is self employed, plus we could all do with a family holiday now :)

2:50 pm

flosey

oh, sorry, wasn't the airline, but the holiday - pretty small of them not to refund - or at least rebook at a later date when everything is ok again

2:51 pm

Jillyjill

Well, glad to hear you might still get to go on your trip lillian!

2:51 pm

lilliann

please TO

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

clearly should book with another company and let the first one know that you are going to do that from now on as well as all your friends and family

2:52 pm

MollyL

Oh okay, no refund but you can reschedule when she is better. That sounds more fair.

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

unless, of course, they relent

2:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

or you can write a letter to the editor - check uk travel magazines, they often have comsumer questions solumns

2:52 pm

smores

so they are letting you reschedule without penalty?

2:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

lil, you can rebook w.ou charge?

2:52 pm

lilliann

we have to wait for the insurance which will take upto 3 months so i think my husband's dad will lend us the money if not my brother said he will so we will get one

2:53 pm

lilliann

no molly.we will have to find the money.we lost Â£4,600

2:54 pm

MollyL

Oh, I misunderstood. That is not right.

2:54 pm

lilliann

it was a travel agents tjhat we booked with and they told us we wouldn't get any money as we cancelled it too late, which we knew

2:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

i would be outside their office with a sign.

2:55 pm

lilliann

thank you all for your caring comments, now i know why i've missed babble so much.x

2:55 pm

smores

I would definatley post their name on any and all travel websites " Warning to all travelers...."

2:55 pm

flosey

dumb response from tr.agent - how could you have cancelled any sooner

2:56 pm

MollyL

I would start talking to the local news stations Lilliann. The more bad publicity you can get for that company, the better.

2:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/ecc/inde\nx_en.htm

2:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

liliann they would be mortified if you did that.

2:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh sorry i did not think that url was overlong

2:57 pm

lilliann

we knew that we would have to claim off the insurance but you know insurance companies, they never make it easy to claim!

2:57 pm

jmcnrick

they can still refund the money if they choose or allow you to rebook for a different date. Warn them that you will post at the website that TO posted and will book with another agency if they do not relent.

2:57 pm

jmcnrick

TO :-P

2:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

*puts on hard hat to avoid molly's brickbats*

2:58 pm

lilliann

thanks TO.written it down and will look into it

2:58 pm

jmcnrick

i need a clue for dummies for the top E please

2:58 pm

smores

I understand why companies have those stipulations, while they are necessary, they are also able to be overlooked in true emergancies.

2:59 pm

flosey

think it's probably e5/12 e + scotch ****

et5/12

2:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

that one sounds more promising

3:00 pm

flosey

or could be er5/12 girls name

3:01 pm

flosey

or ea5/10 one who consumes food

3:01 pm

smores

lol....or it could be both

3:01 pm

lilliann

in the small print because we cancelled it so late we are not entitled to a refund jmc, but my husband has sent an email to the company, explaining what happened and that he wasn't very happy with the travel agent.they were supposed to send us forms to fill in for our insurance company and hadn't so my husband had to take time away from our bairn's hospital bed to ring them up and they then told him again that we wouldn't get any money back.he was so livid and had a right go at the person on the other end of the phone that they'll probably never answer the phone again!

3:01 pm

mixi6

my mother-in-law had to get a refund of travel insurance when a trip was cancelled. They moved the money to another trip easily, but the insurance could not be moved to the new dates and had to be refunded and she had to wait.

3:01 pm

flosey

omit that ea5, comes from lower e

3:02 pm

flosey

lilliann, I still think there are extenuating circumstances here that could not be avoided

3:03 pm

smores

on a lighter note, love your icon lillian

3:03 pm

MollyL

Your travel agent should be your advocate in this.
What a shame.

3:04 pm

lilliann

they don't pay too quickly mixi.did your mother-in law get her holiday in the end?

3:04 pm

jmcnrick

we've been in contact with her jmc and told her we have no hard feeling, infact david was at the accident 7 minutes after our daughter got knocked down as someone used her phone and called 'dad' on it and david ran out of the house up the hill as it ws just a few minutes away and he thought she was dead but when he knew she was alive and the air ambulance people and paramedics looked after her he actually hugged the woman and was looking after her

3:14 pm

3:18 pm

lilliann

it was just a tragic accident and she has 3 young children of her own.we wanted her to know we didn't blame her or hate her and we wanted her to enjoy christmas with her family.she was going to visit us the other day but then texted saying she had a cold, but we don't know whether she has or just couldn't face us. either way hopefully we will be able to meet up. i think it would be good for her and the bairn even though she doesn't remember any of it which is a good thing

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

3:18 pm

MollyL

*Waiting for more stories about JMC's balls*

3:18 pm

I washed few dishes... we have been taking care of Grant who isn't bouncing back from the teeth extraction as fast as we had hoped, and I have been so tired from the "whatever" I had earlier this month. So I haven't cleaned much. But I have almost finished the mountain of laundry! :-)

3:18 pm

lilliann

3:19 pm

3:20 pm

MollyL

The mail carrier dudes are hard core JMC.
I give mine a bottle of Crown Royal every year.

ivesy, I just read your profile. Having gone through tough times with my son; I hold you close in my heart. I couldn't find a Narc-Anon program at that time; but I went through an Al-Anon program when my brother was here several years ago and it really helps. I'll keep your son in my prayers..... My son got scared straight by being sent to maximum security prison (because the minimum security prison was full). He's done very well since then.

i must admit that my tom loves to leave us presents but luckily on the front door mat, but i don't really want wild rabbits,mice,shrews,rats,and different birds.and how the hell he can carry the rabbits and rats in his mouth i haven't got a clue as they are all huge!

6:59 pm

MimiCat

Hi, Neil.

6:59 pm

lilli, I finally read your profile too, what a scary thing to have happen! I am so glad your little one is ok!!

7:02 pm

VermontMeow

Lilliann - All of my previous, civilized, cats left their offerings on the back door mat. This little rascal is totally uncivilized and I'm not sure I am capable of civilizing him.

7:02 pm

MimiCat

Since we don't have plurals in this grid, guess we just add "er" to lots of stuff.

7:02 pm

negativeneil

Oh lilliann... sorry to read about your daughter but glad she's alive and healing from that ordeal.

7:02 pm

lilliann

thanks christine, that means alot.she seems to be doing really well, so what more can we ask for.we had to cancel our christmas holiday but have the ok from the hospital doctors to fly so we are looking now for another one in a couple of weeks

7:03 pm

VermontMeow

Neil, I will try to remember. Remember though, I am old and getting senile.

7:03 pm

lilliann

thank you all, she is 13 and we know she is getting better because the attitude is beginning to come back!! :)

7:04 pm

smores

has she rolled her eyes at you yet?

7:04 pm

lilliann

LOL vermont!

7:05 pm

smores

If she gives you the eye roll when you go to check on her then all is well...lol

7:08 pm

lilliann

i think, she rolled one at her dad yesterday but the other one is still swollen and black so she can't quite do it with that one yet...lol and she hasn't told me to shut up yet, so i don't know if that is a good or bad sign!

7:08 pm

How old is she, Lilliann?

7:27 pm

smores

sorry Neil, I thought you joking about boxing day

7:27 pm

negativeneil

Uhhh, no?

7:29 pm

smores

there was some kidding earlier about UK and Canada celebrating Boxing Day

7:29 pm

negativeneil

Oh? Well I know some people have the week off... but they probably take it as part of their holidays.

7:30 pm

smores

pa5/12 is a song of praise

7:30 pm

rururocks

plus

7:30 pm

rururocks

I'm not a Christian

7:30 pm

Bugsaw

Yes Neil, those two days are stuatory holidays in Canada but lots of people still have to work them. They get paid double time for the sacrifice

7:31 pm

negativeneil

I had yesterday and today off because my boss decided to shut until tomorrow.

7:31 pm

Bugsaw

and SMores, Boxing Day has something to do with a Boxer Rebelllion, not the day we beat each other up over getting lousy gifts

7:31 pm

negativeneil

Haha, well no kidding ru. But that probably has little to do with it.

7:31 pm

smores

lol...Bugsaw

7:32 pm

stidmama

hey all! (((bugs hugs)))

7:32 pm

negativeneil

Haha, Bugsaw.

7:32 pm

Bugsaw

All I ever knew was it was another day off.

7:32 pm

rururocks

I'm imagining Robert DeNiro moving in next door to Bugs

7:32 pm

Bugsaw

hi stid and everyone. just checked the chog for clues and found questions I cud answer

7:32 pm

smores

really ruru...that isn't your church you volunteered at yesterday

7:32 pm

rururocks

That'd be the end of her boxing days

7:32 pm

stidmama

I don't think deNiro would stand a chance with mr bugs there...

7:33 pm

Christine

Bugsaw, in UK Boxing Day was the day employers gave Christmas gifts to the housestaff.

7:33 pm

Bugsaw

are you kidding stid? Mr Bugs hasn't even raised his voice in his life!

7:33 pm

rururocks

I don't go to church smores.. but it is a church that benefits the homeless in SF..they do amazing things

7:34 pm

stidmama

It's not his voice deNiro would have to watch out for... mr bugs would have him built into some contraption so fast, he wouldn't know what "hit" him! LOL

7:34 pm

Bugsaw

Oh I like that explaination better Christine, but I am sure they shud have been able to share the same day as the heads if Christianity was as work there

7:34 pm

negativeneil

Well I've had to work on some Boxing Days and not on others. Depended where I was working/what I was doing at the time.

7:34 pm

stidmama

careful, ruru, your sweet, squishy insides are showing...

7:35 pm

Bugsaw

hahaha stid. Even that wudn't protect me. I got Mr Bugs a coaster that says, Start off slowly and taper off.

7:36 pm

Bugsaw

he loves it

7:36 pm

stidmama

oof! *grin* suits him well!

7:36 pm

rururocks

I've never heard of Boxing day until this year

7:37 pm

negativeneil

You haven't?

7:37 pm

rururocks

...probably because I've been hungover after christmas for years...LOL

7:37 pm

negativeneil

Haha! Yeah. That might do it. :P

7:38 pm

negativeneil

It's the day when you box up all the mess from the day before ru. Y'know?

7:38 pm

smores

Oh, I just thought it was your church you volunteered at...that's very cool ruru

7:38 pm

negativeneil

Oh and I just sent you a vitally important email.

7:38 pm

rururocks

it's called Glide Memorial Church.. non denominational church..it's a SF icon

7:39 pm

rururocks

It's a must do thing in sf to go to one of the services

7:39 pm

Marc Freeman

Could I please get a clue for re6/24?

7:39 pm

Christine

Bugsaw, the Victorian employers probably thought it was more important to have dinner on the table, on time, rather than consider their staaff.

7:39 pm

rururocks

re + get a loan back

7:40 pm

zoozzoom

re give back money owed

7:40 pm

stidmama

thanks ruru

7:40 pm

Christine

Zoozzoom, long time no hear.

7:41 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Christine..yeah i am around lurking about..lol

7:41 pm

Bugsaw

I agree Christine. Hi zoozoom

7:41 pm

stidmama

But servants have always had that situation, Christine! The slaves in the U.S. were expected to work pretty much every day most of the year, though when it wasn't growing season (for agricultural slaves) I think they generally got Sundays mostly off. House slaves I don't think ever got time off in many cases.

7:41 pm

stidmama

Hey zoom!

7:42 pm

zoozzoom

Good evening, All..wel it is 1:42am here but still..lol

7:42 pm

stidmama

why up so late, zoom?

7:43 pm

negativeneil

That's still night to me. Even though it's technically morning. If it's dark, it's night.

7:43 pm

zoozzoom

trying to finish this grid :-)

7:43 pm

stidmama

I know that in the North, even non-slave workers were often working 7 days a week because they needed to run the machines all the time.

7:43 pm

stidmama

ah, the evil grid...

7:44 pm

smores

I'll probably be up all night...was scheduled to work sooo

7:44 pm

zoozzoom

I only need one more.. a U7

7:45 pm

Bugsaw

want a clue?

7:45 pm

zoozzoom

Would not say no..lol

7:46 pm

Bugsaw

you are un7 of the word's location in the grid

7:47 pm

zoozzoom

Oh geez..you are kidding me...the same ending as the Ch9

7:47 pm

Bugsaw

want something more clear?

7:47 pm

Bugsaw

that is the one!

7:47 pm
